Pant the Chant livens up Homecoming DANIELLE COOK the collegian
K-State’s greek community, the Black Student Union and other supporters gathered in Bramlage Coliseum Sunday evening to kick off Homecoming Week 2015 with Pant the Chant. Performers and attendees were asked to bring a nonperishable food item or a donation of $1 to go toward the Flint Hills Breadbasket as an entry fee. According to Kylie Sturgis, senior in public relations and member of this year’s university homecoming committee, the greek community partnered with Order of Omega to collect the food and financial donations for the breadbasket. “It’s super great because we get to partner with Order of Omega, which is the greek honors society, which kind of collects all of those cans for us,” Sturgis said. “It’s just helping the community, which is a great way for a mass part of the greek community to give back.” Andrew Lee, a member of Pant the Chant’s judge panel, said that being part of an event that helped the Flint Hills Breadbasket get donations was a chance for students and others to join forces for a good cause. “I think it’s a wonderful organization and a wonderful way to have students not only have some fun and participate together, but for a good cause and to do something good for the community,” Lee said. During Pant the Chant, groups performed chants pertaining to this year’s Homecoming theme, “A Century of Coming Home.” Each team created a chant based on a different decade, going back as far as 1900. Ayana Hall, freshman in open option, performed in Pant the Chant with the BSU. Hall said that preparing for the performance was fun
once rehearsal time came around, but had its challenges during brainstorming stages. “We had a lot of ideas, so the biggest challenge was just trying to put them together into one consecutive decision,” Hall said. “But my favorite part was actually getting to know the people that I was doing the chant with and just performing it together.” Abigail Newton, sophomore in mass communications, said that though she did not perform with members of her sorority, Alpha Delta Pi, in Pant the Chant, attending the event to support them and other students was a way to show her school spirit and passion for her sorority. “I think it’s really fun to not only show your love for your chapter, but I think it’s an opportunity to see everyone else’s passions for their chapters, and it’s just a cool time to come together and get to cheer each other on,” Newton said. Hall said she hopes more groups
participate in Pant the Chant or come to support participating groups in the future, as according to her it is a fun way to make a difference. “I think a lot of other groups should get involved in Pant the Chant,” Hall said. “It’s good to see other people’s performances and work with people to come up with something, and it also benefits the Flint Hills Breadbasket, which I think, is a good thing.” Sturgis said a goal of the homecoming committee this year is to see more individuals and groups get involved in all homecoming events, and that K-State organizations that aren’t part of the greek community are encouraged to attend as well. “Come to homecoming events, even if you’re not greek,” Sturgis said. “I know we get this idea that it’s only for greek groups, but we really want it to be a whole K-State experience.” According to Sturgis, results from Pant the Chant will be announced Friday.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY Bavarian Crown Prince Louis, later King Louis I of Bavaria, marries Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The Bavarian royalty invited the citizens of Munich to attend the festivities, held on the fields in front of the city gates. The decision to repeat the festivities and the horse races in the subsequent year gave rise to the tradition of the annual Oktoberfest, which now begins in late September and lasts until the first Sunday in October. Alcohol consumption is an important part of the modern festival.

DANIELLE COOK KANSAS BOARD OF REGENTS LOOKS TO KEEP CAMPUSES SAFE AGAINST STATE CONCEALED CARRY LAWS
Though public universities in Kansas have authority to prohibit guns on campus, they will be required to comply with state law and open their colleges to concealed weapons on July 1, 2017. The Kansas Board of Regents is researching where and how guns can be controlled on university campuses without violating the law Board Chairman Shane Bangerter said, according to the Wichita Eagle. In light of recent campus shootings, such as the one that took place at Umpqua Community College in Oregon just weeks ago, a sense of urgency for the Board of Regents to find law-abiding ways of concealed weapon control has been instilled. The Kansas Legislature passed Personal and Family Protection Act in 2012, which overrode local gun ordinances and required that concealed-carry permit holders be allowed to carry in nearly all public establishments. Earlier this year, the Kansas Legislature passed a law allowing lawful gun owners to carry their weapons loaded and concealed without a permit. Current ideas on university safety regarding these laws include secured university spaces which require key, card or code for entry, according to Bangerter. Residence halls remain a concern, however, due to the fact that students constantly enter and exit, and they serve as sorts of public gathering spaces for students.

K-STATE LAUNCHES INNOVATION AND INSPIRATION CAMPAIGN
K-State President Kirk Schulz announced the kick-off of K-State’s $1 billion Innovation and Inspiration fundraising campaign to the public on Friday. Innovation and Inspiration, led by the KSU Foundation, is set to raise $1 billion toward K-State’s goal of becoming one of the top 50 public research universities by the year 2025. The campaign will provide resources to improve retention of students and graduation rates. It will also go toward faculty development and new research tasks, all of which are initiatives to bring K-State to to its 2025 goal, according to the Little Apple Post. Over the past five years leading up to its public announcement, Innovation and Inspiration raised $766 million in investments from alumni, friends and corporations.
MANHATTAN MAN INJURED IN MITCHELL COUNTY ACCIDENT
Jacob Campbell, 25, of Manhattan, was injured in a car accident in Mitchell County just before 7 p.m. on Saturday. The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2004 Chevy Impala, driven by Campbell, was headed east on U.S. 24 a mile west of Cawker City, according to the Little Apple Post. Campbell’s vehicle swerved across both traffic lanes and collided with the guardrail on the roadway’s south side before becoming airborne and rolling. Campbell was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney, Nebraska. Campbell was properly restrained at the time of the accident, according to authorities.

OPINION monday, october 12, 2015
Expect more substance from debating Democrats
JONATHAN GREIG the collegian
Last week was undeniably a bad week for some prominent Republican politicians. We’ll soon see the political impact of this week for top Democratic ones. The first of only six Democratic presidential debates is set to take place on CNN this Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. The two big names we’ll see are the longtime front-runner, Hillary Clinton, and the progressive challenger, Bernie Sanders. They’ll debate each other along with Martin O’Malley, Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee. Vice President Joe Biden, while not yet having decided on whether he will also run for the nomination, is not expected to participate in this debate.
CANDIDATE MOMENTUM
There have been some signs of positive momentum for both Sanders and Clinton, the two main Democratic contenders, in recent weeks. For Sanders, the big news for his campaign came when they announced on Sept. 30 that his campaign had a huge fundraising third quarter, raising $26 million, the New York Times detailed. This nearly matched Clinton’s $28 million for the quarter, despite Sanders refusing to use the help of a super PAC. That means that nearly all of his fundraising has been through small donors, an incredible feat. Jeff Zenely wrote an article last Saturday for CNN, titled, “Clinton and Sanders = lecture vs. rock concert,” in which he commented on the energy and strategies of each campaign. Of Sanders, Zenely noted: “he has overtaken Clinton in early New Hampshire polls, come within striking distance in Iowa, and has raised nearly as much (recent) money.” Clinton, along with appearing on Saturday Night Live, also gained some recent positive momentum when House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy suggested heavy political motivations behind the House-run Special Committee on Benghazi, with it serving largely to target Democratic front-runner. “Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right?”
Illustration by Jacob Larson McCarthy said Sept. 9, on Sean Hannity’s Fox show. “But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s untrustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened, had we not fought.” This statement seems to validate liberals accusing the committee of being a poorly-disguised political witch hunt. If so, this wildly inappropriate motivation behind a supposed investigation into four dead American lives will only help Hillary’s case with the voters.
DEBATE STRATEGIES
Sanders and Clinton are coming into this debate with very different outcome agendas. Clinton, the front-runner, wants to elevate that status, and look like the choice for Democratic nominee. Sanders, a much lesser known Senator from Vermont, needs to put himself out
there for people who don’t know that much about him yet. He needs to raise awareness of his candidacy and his issues. In Politico’s article “Inside Bernie Sanders’ unorthodox debate prep,” writer Gabriel Debenedetti said that Sanders only began debate prepping “not even a full week ago,” and that “far from preparing lines to deploy against Clinton — let alone O’Malley, Lincoln Chafee or Jim Webb — Sanders plans to dish policy details, learned through a handful of briefings with experts brought in by his campaign.” Meanwhile, according to the Politico Caucus, it would be best for Hillary to “lay off Sanders,” so as not to elevate him as her very serious contender, or alienate his more progressive voters before the general election.
POLICY DIFFERENCES
While both fall on the same liberal side of many issues, there
are still some policy and ideological differences between Sanders and Clinton. There is also the issue for voters of Clinton’s “evolution” into some of these liberal stances on gay marriage, trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership, big money in politics and perhaps even the Keystone Pipeline. Inside Gov, a website detailing the platforms, histories and other information about the Presidential nominees gives each one an ideological score in four categories – individual rights, domestic issues, economic issues, and defense and international issues. According to their scores, Sanders and Clinton are approximately in toe on domestic, economic and individual rights issues, with their big ideological differences coming in defense and international issues, with Sanders coming down much more liberally. This will be a big contrast, especially in regards to the continuously volatile
situation in the Middle East. Don’t expect this Tuesday’s debate to be as similar to a Trumpfilled fireworks show, as the Republican debates have been so far, so much as platform-building policy outlining. Though it will have less drama, it will still potentially have a great impact. Expect discussion on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, gun control (a rare place where Clinton is more liberal than Sanders), economic inequality, environmental protection, foreign policy and many other important issues. Be an informed citizen, and be sure to tune in.

Our plastic problem is delving into absurdity, can no longer be ignored RACHEL TUCKER the collegian
Every year, over 50 billion plastic water bottles are used in the U.S. alone. This equals about 1,500 plastic water bottles being consumed per second, according to One Green Planet’s article “What’s the Problem with Plastic Bottles?” The amount of plastic being recycled is astonishingly low, according to Fast Company’s article “Message in a Bottle.” “Water bottles are made of totally recyclable polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
plastic, so we share responsibility for their impact,” author Charles Fishman said. “Our recycling rate for PET is only 23 (percent), which means we pitch into landfills 38 billion water bottles a year—more than $1 billion worth of plastic.” But not all of the bottles that are not recycled end up in the landfills. It is very common to find plastic in oceans and other large bodies of water. Plastics that end up in the ocean pose a serious threat to all marine life. Once in the ocean, the plastic can break down and the harmful toxins used in the production of plastic are released and consumed
by the marine life. It is also very easy for plastics to be swallowed by all animals including, but not limited to, aquatic ones. In One Green Planet’s article “What’s the Problem with Plastic Bottles,” it talks of the dangers of plastic to animals. “A sperm whale was found dead on a North American beach recently with a plastic gallon bottle which had gummed up its small intestine,” author Zion Lights said. “The animal’s body was full of plastic material including other plastic bottles, bottle caps and plastic bags.” It can be very easy for animals to ingest and swallow

plastic items that are unknown to them. Unfortunately, they often consume the plastic after mistaking it for food. Not only animals are affected by the use of plastic, it is very destructive to the environment as well. One Green Planet’s article also goes on to mention the dangerous amount of fossil fuels that are required to both produce and transport plastic bottles. “If you fill a plastic bottle with liquid so that it is 25 (percent) full, that’s roughly how much oil it took to make the bottle,” Lights said. “For a single-use disposable item, that’s a lot.” Humans heavily rely
??
on fossil fuels as a source of energy, but it is also a non-renewable source. This means that we, as a whole, need to do a better job of preserving our fossil fuels and reducing the unnecessary use of them whenever possible. In Environmental Health News’ article “The Environmental Toll of Plastics,” author Jessica A. Knoblauch also warns about the threatening levels of fossils fuels used to produce plastics. “Production of plastics is a major user of fossil fuels,” Knoblauch said. “Eight percent of world oil production goes to manufacturing plastics.” It is absurd how many
plastic bottles get thrown away every year when it is just as easy to throw them in a recycling bin or simply refill them. We, as a people, need to do a better job of reducing the amount of plastic wasted every day and help lessen the damage caused to the environment in the process.

Do n ’ t be
“THAT PERSON”... Nights can get a little rough, or fun, when your work includes witnessing people’s unusual behavior after a few drinks. Bartenders in Aggieville told us who we should not be when we go out this weekend. Compiled by Mayara Garay Kostianovsky. Photos by Emily Starkey.
“Don’t be that person that locks himself in an unlockable bathroom… in the afternoon, especially if you are the one locking the door with your own feet.”
“Don’t be that guy that keeps trying to flirt with every other girl that passes through, even when she is clearly married.” Rance Hansen Bartender, O’Malley’s Alley
“Don’t be that person who gets shirtless and sleeps under the table.”
“Don’t be that person to try and pour your own draft beer.”
“Don’t be that person to knock over a shot girl when she still got like 50 shots.”
Sydney Lucero Waitress, Kite’s Bar & Grill
“It was the KSU – KU game last year, and there were two girls from each school sitting next to each other at the bar and they got into arguing because KU lost obviously, and (the KU girl) ended up starting a fight with the K-State girl, and the girl actually pulled mace out and spray it throughout the whole bar when she was getting kicked out and she maze a lot of people that were in here... It’s funny that a KU fan actually started something like that and ended up getting kicked out just because she was upset over some game, so don’t be that fan!” Devin Rose Bartender, Tanner’s
Slightly sarcastic horoscopes with Madam LoCoco: Oct. 12-Oct. 16
IRIS LOCOCO the collegian
Gaze into your bleak, bleak future with sarcastic horoscopes for the week of Oct. 12 from your friendly campus medium.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19) Feeling good this week, Aries! You’ve been in such an upbeat and gregarious mood, and your social life is opening up as a result. There could be an exciting fall break trip in your future, too. Good timing, because you’ll have lots of new friends to sign your body cast after you drunkenly topple from that second-story balcony. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20) It’s a tense and awkward week, fraught with peril as though you have the problems of the entire world resting on your shoulders. Keep your nose pressed firmly to that grindstone, Taurus. That’s the only way you can start to chip away at that sizable backlog of work. Plus you really can’t afford that rhinoplasty that you are in sore need of anyway, so that’s two birds with one stone. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20) You probably should have started the job hunt more than eight weeks prior to graduation, especially since the full extent of your employment experience consists of dancing drunkenly on a picnic table behind the Varsity truck while people throw dollar bills at you. Better spend this week working on resume builders, like removing a thong with your teeth and picking up $20 bills with your butt.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) This week finds you feeling especially put off by other people’s little habits, mostly because you think they’re doing it for the express purpose of annoying you specifically. This is ironic, since your own quirks are far more obnoxious than anyone else’s — and you aren’t even trying! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) If you made a wager on the football game this weekend that “TCU will score first, but K-State will catch the Snitch,” you might want to brush up on your sports knowledge before you consider getting involved with the office Fantasy Football league. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) You’re in a very lively and sociable mood this week, Sagittarius. Now would be an excellent time for you to spend some quality time with some older family members or even your favorite kids. No, not that kind of kid. I mean baby goats. Just get a whole bunch of baby goats and let them run around your apartment unchecked. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) This is a good week for tackling money matters, mostly because this might be the last time in awhile that you’ll have any money to matter. The Stars’ advice? Start growing out your facial hair, stop wearing deodorant and go on an extreme diet — that way by the time graduation week rolls around, you’ll look so pathetic and bedraggled that you might be able to squeeze a few extra sympathy checks out of your visiting family.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) There seems to be a foul presence in the air today that makes it difficult for you to cope with someone close to you. If you don’t clear the air now, there could be a major clash at an upcoming social event you’re both attending together. You can either confront your friend directly, or secretly throw out their stash of frozen chili dogs. Your call. Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) This is a good week for fixing things that have been going wrong — including inside your own screwy head. Productivity has been a major issue for you lately, so much that you’ve even procrastinated on finding a solution. Stop making excuses, buckle down, duct tape your hands to your keyboard and cry your way through all of your unread emails. If you start now you’ll be done by mid-January ... probably.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22) There’s a strong emphasis on solid relationships in your life right now Cancer, and you’ve been trying to spend more quality time with people you really like. Good for you! Just make sure that you’ve cleared all of the dirty lingerie out of your apartment belonging to the people who you didn’t like so much before any of that “quality time” happens with someone you do, or else your good fortune could be short-lived. LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22) Improve your working relationship with your colleagues by bringing some harmony into your office environment. Beautify your workspace: anything from doing some minor re-arranging of your office furniture to adding a potted plant or two, to removing your ugly mug from your boss’ direct line of sight will really go far to brighten up the place. VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) This will be a fantastic week for you, Virgo. No, I’m serious this time. For once the Stars aren’t just effing with you. Enjoy this beautiful, fleeting time of joy before your life inevitably descends into a deep, dark hopeless night without end.

Wildcats volleyball now 11-0 all-time in Bramlage AVERY OSEN the collegian
T
he K-State volleyball team got back on track Saturday as they defeated West Virginia in straight sets at Bramlage Coliseum. The win now makes the program a perfect 11-0 when playing at the coliseum. More importantly, however, it gave the Wildcats their second Big 12 win of the season. “One of our priorities was to be better in transition,” K-State head coach Suzie Fritz said. “So, we were pleased with that. I think we got a lot out of our serving. Defensively, just overall, we did some nice things. Our blocking was a little bit more disciplined. I thought we were a little bit better on that side of the ball then we were offensively.” Freshman Alyssa Schultejans led K-State with 12 kills, seven of which came in the third set. This is the fourth time this season she has led the team in kills in a match. “(Schultejans) was so good,” senior setter Katie Brand said. “The thing is, we had been working on all week on building (Schultejans’) confidence and seeing what else we could get out her, and then she comes out and has a performance like that.” In the first set, K-State jumped out to an early four-point lead, but the Mountaineers countered and tied it up at six all. The teams played very even until the score was 21-20 Wildcats. K-State had four consecutive kills after that and won the set 25-20. The second set was highly contested, until the score was 17 apiece and Brooke Sassin used an ace to spark a stretch where the Wildcats won the final eight of 11 points to take the set 25-20. It seemed as if West Virginia had given up as the Wildcats climbed out to an 11-4 lead start-

The Wildcats had other plans though, as they made a 5-0 run started by a kill from Schultejans. Sassin finished off the Moun-
taineers on a match-point kill and won the set narrowly 25-23. The Wildcat coaching staff has put a lot of emphasis on closing out matches lately, and Saturday proved they were very capable.
“What we talk about a lot is inner confidence,” Brand said. “So, as long as we just stay calm, there’s kind of a Zen out on the court, instead of everyone getting anxious and a little bit tight.” The Wildcats are 5-0 this sea-
son at home, which includes two consecutive straight set victories at home in the conference. K-State is 10-7 overall and 2-3 in Big 12 play as they travel to Norman, Oklahoma to take on the Sooners Friday at 6 p.m.
K-State equestrian drops home winning streak against Oklahoma State LIZ HEATH the collegian
K-State equestrian had their home winning streak of 18 straight snapped Friday when they fell to No. 6 Oklahoma State 13-7. The loss put K-State at 1-1 for the season and 0-1 in the Big 12 conference. “Overall we had good rides today and rode confident at home,” head coach Casie Maxwell said to K-State Sports. Oklahoma State is now 2-0 on the season and 1-0 in conference matchups. The Cowgirls are currently ranked first in the Big 12. Hunt Seat proved a challenge for K-State as they fell 8-2 to the Cowgirls in the event. In Equitation over Fences, sophomore Molly Dunn slipped past OSU’s Amy White 82-81 to gain the only point for the Wild-
cats. K-State fell to OSU 4-1. The final score in Equitation on the Flat was also 4-1. Junior Gretchen Koenen managed to ride past White 77-75, tallying her second win of the season. K-State broke even with Oklahoma State 5-5 in the Western arena, winning the Horsemanship discipline 3-2 and falling short in Reining, 2-3. In Horsemanship, junior Sydney Anson remains undefeated this season after earning a score of 73 to defeat OSU’s Ty Paris 73-71.5. Junior Alyssa Lombardi rode strong against OSU’s Kirsten Chamberland for 75-68.5 win. Senior Danielle Kemper prevailed over OSU’s Paris Nottingham, 70.567. Kemper is now 13-5-2 for her career. Oklahoma State has only lost one out of eight events so far this season. In Reining, Sophomore Brynn Critcher secured her first
win of the year against OSU’s Julia Purus, notching a score of 70.5-70. Senior Nicholle Hatton captured her 10th career win as well as a Most Outstanding Performer honor after riding past OSU’s Brenna Brawner 72-69.5. “We had some points that did not fall our way, and on the other side, we made some mistakes that cost us our point,” Maxwell said to K-State Sports. Next up, the Wildcats will be back at home against No. 3 Baylor on Oct. 30. Baylor, a national semifinalist team last season, is coming off their eighth-straight win in the Willis Invitational. The Bears took down No. 9 New Mexico State 11-3 and No. 5 Fresno State 9-6. “In the coming week, we first have to continue to minimize those errors, so we can then focus on having stronger rides and beating our opponents,” Maxwell said.

Wildcats take second in Louisiana RILEY GATES the collegian
The K-State men’s golf team traveled to Baton Rouge, Louisiana this weekend for the David Toms Intercollegiate at University Club. Coming off of a solid finish at their last tournament where the team took fourth at the Golfweek Conference Challenge, the Wildcats were looking to match or improve on their result from the tournament in Iowa. That is exactly what they did. The team played 36 holes on Saturday and scored a of 291 for the first 18 holes, then followed that up with a 297 on the second 18 holes. The final 18 holes on Sunday totaled at 292 for the Wildcats. The tournament total of 880, 16 over-par, was good enough to earn second place at the tournament, losing only to the defending NCAA Champion LSU Tigers.
Although K-State took second place of 11 competing teams, Wildcat head coach Grant Robbins is still looking for improvement from his team, and said he believes that getting experience is what will make that improvement happen. “Overall it was a good finish for us,” Robbins said to K-State Sports. “We got off to a great start and got within five shots of the lead at one point, but we made too many mental errors down the stretch that cost us. We have to do a much better job of finishing off rounds, but experience is sometimes the best teacher. Hopefully we can learn from this and continue to get better.” Leading the Wildcats individually was freshman Jeremy Gandon. Coming off a tournament win in the last outing, Gandon made a run at another individual title. He came up just short, however, shooting scores of 71, 73, and 69 to finish in a tie for second place with Nathan Jeansonne
from LSU. Not far off of Gandon’s finish was junior Matt Green. Green fired rounds of 75, 70, and 72 to finish at 1-over par and tied for fifth with LSU’s Haraldur Magnus. Wildcat sophomore Oscar Spolander carded scores of 72, 74, and 78 to shoot eight-over par and finish in a three-way tie for 16th place individually. Finishing at 15-over par and tying for 39th place was both senior Kyle Weldon and junior Connor Knabe. Weldon had rounds of 77, 80 and 74 whereas Knabe fired scores of 73, 81 and 77. “I really like the progress we are making and do not think we have scratched the surface of how good we can be,” Robbins said. “We have to continue to work hard and keep striving to improve.” The men’s golf team will be back in action on Oct. 25-26 in Greensboro, North Carolina at Grandover Resort East Course for the Bridgestone Golf Collegiate.

K-State vs TCU grade report: overall not bad
AVERY OSEN the collegian
OFFENSE: B+
It’s really tough to outscore TCU, but the Wildcats were on the brink of doing that Saturday night. They had the ball for nearly twice as long as the Horned Frogs, which is really hard to do against one of the best defenses in college
football. Sophomore quarterback Joe Hubener had four rushing touchdowns and showed great promise with the one-two punch between him and junior running back Charles Jones. Speaking of Jones, he had himself a night putting up 75 rushing yards and ran with a certain aggression that we have not seen from him before. Jones had a huge 28-yard touchdown run, which helped spark the Wildcat offense. Hubener also had a great day rushing, but struggled in the passing game. He had seven more incompletions than completions as he went 13-33 in the air for only 157 yards. That has to change going forward because Hubener and Jones need the offense to be a threat in the air for

Overall, not a bad performance from the offense as I think a high B is pretty fair.
DEFENSE: B

Senior defensive back Nate Jackson avoids the tackle from TCU sophomore tailback Trevorris Johnson at the K-State against Texas Christian University football game Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
The defense had a great first half of the game after a rough start as they gave up an 86-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. After that, they woke up and held down senior quarterback Trevone Boykin and the rest of the TCU offense for the most part. They allowed 206 total yards in the fourth quarter that allowed the Horned Frogs to erase a double-digit deficit and take the lead.
The Wildcat defense was burnt many times by the potent TCU offense, whether on the ground or through the air. One highlight for the Wildcats defense was the play of sophomore linebacker Elijah Lee as he had two interceptions off Boykin, a Heisman hopeful. The defense will need to step up next week against a very talented Oklahoma Sooners offense.
SPECIAL TEAMS: C
I was very disappointed by the Wildcat special team’s defense on kickoff returns. In a high scoring back-and-forth
game, your special teams unit needs to make the offense earn as many yards as they can. Horned Frogs freshman kick returner KaVontae Turpin just tore up the special team defense as he went for 122 yards on kick returns and gave TCU good starting position almost every time. If it weren’t for that, the special teams would have received a better grade, but since they didn’t they are passing but not necessarily succeeding. Avery Osen is a junior in mass communications.

On The Spot: improvisational troupe strives to entertain students ERIC SCHEIDT the collegian
Where can you watch Donald Trump being bludgeoned with a bar of soap? At an On the Spot Improv show, of course. Its members act out a variety of situations, based on a few suggestions from the audience. The performers then have to come up with scenes on the spot. “The best part of the show is when you get to make people laugh,” Ryan Woods, senior in graphic design and On the Spot member, said. The group unofficially formed in 2009, after a group of students began doing improv for fun in the basement of K-State residence halls. Ben Hopper, current adviser for On the Spot and former adviser for the Union Program Council, saw the same group perform at Wildcat Warmup. “I approached them,” Hopper said. “They said they needed an adviser to get started and needed me to go do it. The first rule of improv is to say yes, so I did.” That helping hand led to the group becoming an official K-State club and its members have been entertaining audiences since. On the Spot utilizes both long- and short-form improv. Long-form requires the performers to act out a 20 minute-plus “play,” based on a word suggested by the audience. Short-form takes the appearance of a variety of games, such as one called “rapid gibberish detective,” in which two performers can only babble to one another. One has to act out a

Of course, with only babbling, the physical gestures and actions of the former become crucial, if the latter has any hope of figuring it out. In order to become a mem-
ber for “On the Spot,” a student must first pass through an initial audition process. This year’s auditions included 41 improv tryouts in which those auditioning had to demonstrate the ability to keep a scene going with partners. Of these 41, only 15 were invited to callbacks where they were further whittled down until only six
new members were left to add to the current cast of 11. The cast performs in the Union’s Forum Hall every Tuesday at 8 p.m. Hopper said it’s a great free event that’s worth going to each week. “It’s a fun hour of entertainment,” Hopper said. “It’s free and they’re good. They prac-
tice once or twice a week and perform once a week to hone their craft. You’re gonna get to see quality entertainment every week.” Members of K-State’s On the Spot have already qualified twice to attend the National College Improv Tournament, after previously beating out other
teams in regional tournaments. Michael Lee, senior in animal sciences and industry and On the Spot member, said, however, that the group is not just for competitions, but to make people happy. “We’re just a bunch of goofy kids trying to make you smile if you’re having a tough week,” Lee said.
