Renovations in store for ‘the Derb,’ dining center director says RACHAEL LILLICH THE COLLEGIAN
Derby Dining Center, popularly known as “the Derb,” has been a staple of Kansas State for more than 50 years. However, as classic as it is—originally built and designed in 1965—rumors about its impending renovation are blowing around campus. Mark Edwards, unit director for the Derby Dining Center, said there are solid plans in place for renovation, though they are not going to take place in the immediate future. “Dining at the Derb is a community-minded event,” Edwards said. “Those working on the renovation plans take that seriously.” The Kansas Board of Regents approved a $16 million budget for the renovation, Edwards said. Additionally, he said the Derb will continue operation throughout the renovation process.
“The Derb highly values community and protecting these values are important to those in charge of the renovation project,” Edwards said. “The many long tables at the Derb are to stay the same to ensure its K-State family feel.” “The Derb” stands in stark contrast to the more recently renovated counterpart across campus, Kramer Dining Center. Still, many of its students said as patrons, they have come to appreciate the “home” atmosphere of the dining center. “It’s kind of quaint, it’s a little outdated, but I think that’s the point,” Brett Ferguson, freshman in chemical engineering, said. “Its got a nice environment. You go in there and everybody’s happy all the time.” The goal of the renovations is to bring Derby into the 21st century without affecting the sense of community, which Edwards said he understands will be a challenge. Some students said they enjoy
“the Derb” for its value on community, not necessarily because it looks nice. “I appreciate the homey feel, it seems like no matter where you go you see people you know,” Carson Camp, sophomore in elementary education and resident assistant in Ford Hall, said. Edwards said the focus will be on changing the exterior main entrance, the lobby area, the entry to the dining rooms, the visual of the dining rooms and how they will serve the food on the platforms. Edwards said the updates are mainly to the look of Derby and as well as to optimize its efficiency. They will most likely replace the narrow entry stairwells with one grand entrance that would allow students to enter the dining center without having to choose a menu concept immediately. The hope is for preparation to begin sometime in July of 2019, but it is possible that the project won’t be underway until as late as 2021, Edwards said.

K-State Econ Club reports only marginal increases in cost of college BAILEY BRITTON THE COLLEGIAN
It’s no secret that being a college student is expensive, and the K-State Economics Club’s yearly Student Price Index report is tracking just how much more expensive it is this year. In its annual report, the club reported a marginal increase of 3.5 percent in the student price index — a measure of the cost of attending K-State based on prices collected on a bundle of goods typically purchased by K-State students compared to the price for those same goods from the year prior. While the club estimated the increase of 3.5 percent, the figure was not much higher than the national Consumer Price Index, which measures a similar change in the goods the average consumer buys nationally. The overall increase in the SPI is attributed primarily to prices increasing in several key
categories outside of the dominant categories of tuition and housing, according to the economics club. Brock O’Brien, vice president of the club and sophomore in economics, coordinated the efforts of members who visited local restaurants, grocery stores,
gas stations, bars, bookstores and movie theaters to gather information regarding annual pricing during the third week of September. “I noticed that we may have an imperfect measure of inflation, but we generally capture the overall trends in student pric-
es and cost of living,” O’Brien said. “For example, some campus housing became significantly more expensive this year, but renting an apartment off campus in Manhattan became significantly cheaper. The price of groceries went up by 5.8 percent, which is at-
tributed mostly to the increase of Coke and Pepsi prices. The price of grocery basics, such as bread and meat have remained steady and the price of milk has fallen. Gasoline prices went up by 9 percent, but the club reports the increase is smaller than in most years.

The largest category that increased was beer, which rose by 16.7 percent. This could change how students consume their alcohol or spend their free time, Carter Jones, freshman in economics, said. “Beer generally has many substitutes for those wanting to consume alcohol in some form, such as wine and spirits,” Jones said. “As a result, beer prices are likely elastic, meaning that students will likely consume much less beer on average as the price keeps increasing at such a rate.” Daniel Kuester, faculty advisor for the economics club, said this is a great project for students to understand how a price index is calculated and he even uses the raw data in his principles class. Kuester said the rate of student inflation at K-State increased less than it has in previous years. “I’m pleased that student inflation at Kansas State is significantly milder than last year,” Kuester said.

Students stomp out mental illness stigmas, stress with bubble wrap HANNAH GREER THE COLLEGIAN
The crisp air of the Quad was stirred by the sound of popping as students stomped across bubble wrap on their way to classes. The Student Union Program Council, Counseling Services and Peer Advocates for Mental Wellness teamed up for Stomp the Stigma on Thursday. Students had the chance to pop therapeutic bubbles that lined the Quad on their way to class. Stop the Stigma focuses on preconceived beliefs about people with mental illness.
These mental health stigmas are often wrong and damaging to people with mental illnesses. Students could stomp out these stigmas and reduce stress at the same time through bubble wrap. “It helps get the stress out and make your day brighter,” said Brooke Riedy, junior in kinesiology. Kathleen M. Dillon, psychology professor emerita at Western New England College, conducted a study that found a group of undergraduate students who popped bubble wrap reported higher levels of calmness and alertness than those who didn’t get to pop bubble wrap.
Dillon said the irresistible desire to pop bubble wrap is a natural human response to stress and it is fun. The nervous motion releases muscle tension, which reduces stress. To all who found popping bubble wrap satisfying and stress relieving, this was a small gift from the the organizations sponsoring the event to help raise awareness about students’ mental wellness. The bubble wrapped stretched across all the paths of Quad for students to jump, stomp or ride on. “It’s a lot of fun,” Olivia Fugarino, junior in kinesiology, said after jumping into the air and landing on the bubble wrap. “It ... made my day.” Hannah Greer | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP
Wildcat Request Live creates competition among Greek life ahead of Homecoming game ABBY PFANNENSTIEL THE COLLEGIAN
Homecoming kicked off Sunday with Pant the Chant and the festivities continued Tuesday with the Wildcat Request Live dance competition. Teams of paired fraternities and sororities took to the floor of Bramlage Coliseum to show off their hard work and compete for the winning Homecoming spot. This year’s homecoming theme is Little Apple, Big Entertainment. Lydia Brooks, senior in apparel and textiles marketing and Homecoming chair for her sorority, said each pairing received a music artist to base their Pant the Chant routine, spirit signs, parade float and Wildcat Request Live dance around. Each homecoming pairing is made up of a sorority and one or two fraternities. “Everyone is required to use the music from their artist; they should be incorporating something about their artist along with K-State spirit, and some good dancing,” Brooks said. The pairings then performed a two-to-three-minute dance to the Manhattan community sitting in the stands.
Sabrina Cline | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP
Members of the Sigma Kappa sorority, Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and Kappa Sigma fraternity dance to the Beatles for their performance at Wildcat Request Live on Tuesday at Bramlage Coliseum. “This event is fun to watch, and the girls have to try out to be on their teams,” Brooks said. “It gets competitive because girls want to represent their house well.” There were also performances by the K-State cheerleading squad, the Classy Cats and the Swinging Spurs, an elite swing dancing team at Kansas State. “Really anyone can compete, they just have to get a group together,” said Sophia Gonzales,
sophomore in business and member of the Homecoming committee. “Along with the other events, like the 5K, anyone from the community can come out. They don’t have to be in a fraternity or sorority to do it.” The competing groups were scored by a panel of judges chosen by the Homecoming committee. “The committee suggests judges like teachers and alumni, then it’s decided from there,”
Gonzales said. Marcus Kidd, assistant director of student programs for the K-State Alumni Association, chooses the final judges. In order to impress the judges, the different teams chose songs and unique moves to make themselves stand out. Zach Bird, senior in kinesiology and three-time performer for Wildcat Request Live, described what he believed the judges looked for in their performances. “They look for cleanliness and cool things, as long as it represents K-State,” Bird said. “Our first year we ripped off our pants, and the judges did not like that. This is definitely one of the more highlighted aspects of homecoming, that’s why I love doing it.” Other Homecoming week festivities included Paint the ‘Ville and percentage night, where several restaurants in the Manhattan area donated a portion of their profits on Wednesday to the Multicultural Student Center initiative. Activities will continue with the Homecoming parade and pep rally on Friday, and the football game on Saturday. Homecoming week winners will be announced at the pep rally.
Thursday of Mental Awareness Week featured Stomp the Stigma. The bubble-wrapped Quad allowed students to release stress and stomp stigmas of mental illnesses.

What to know before the needle: Your step-by-step guide to getting a piercing EMMA WITTER
THE COLLEGIAN
Photo Illustration by Abigail Compton | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP
Here’s everything you need to know before your first tattoo SYDNEY BORSTELMAN THE COLLEGIAN
Getting a tattoo is a memorable experience. It’s a piece of art that will be on your body for the rest of your life, but the first one will always be a story to tell. Getting your first tattoo can be daunting, but Matt Goss, tattoo artist at Syndicate Tattoo, has some tips to make it go as smoothly as possible.
PLAN A DESIGN WELL IN ADVANCE
What is cool now might not be in five years. It’s important to plan out your design and make sure it’s right for you. “I always tell people to think about a design and wait six months,” Goss said. “If you still want the design in six months, go for it, but if not, just repeat the process.” Shelby Daniels, sophomore in life sciences, said she had her first tattoos in mind for half a year, because she had to wait that long before she was legally of age to get one. “I got two done at the same time,” Daniels said. “One of them was a coffee cup
on my wrist. It’s my matching one with my mom...we felt like it was something special to us and no one would have it. The other one was the word breathe on my ribs, that one is personal to me because it’s the word that calms me down.”
shouldn’t do beforehand is put on numbing cream. Goss said the cream doesn’t work. Numbing cream causes discoloration to the tattoo and could result in you having to get a cover up tattoo later down the road.
HYDRATE AND EAT BEFORE YOU GO
IT’S OKAY TO BE NERVOUS
If you’re skittish make sure you are well hydrated before getting to the parlor. You should always drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment and eat before you go in. Syndicate offers juice boxes and candy for those needing to get their blood sugar up beforehand.
NO ALCOHOL OR NUMBING CREAM BEFORE HAND
Alcohol thins the blood, and if you start bleeding then the blood gets mixed in with the ink. This causes the ink to thin, which makes your tattoo look faded. Plus, artists don’t want to deal with a drunk person while they are trying to work. Another thing you
When you get your first tattoo, it’s likely that you’ll be nervous because it’s a new experience. However, it almost never ends up hurting as much as you thought it would. “My first tattoo was a mother-daughter tattoo that says ‘For her I will not fall,’” Alyssa Arnsperger, junior in animal science and industry, said. “I just remember thinking that actually getting the tattoo would hurt so much.” Goss said that he always allows one person to go back with a first timer so they can relax more. “It’s a new environment and new situation for them so I always allow them to have that one person with them as a touchstone, to relax and feel better,” Goss said.
Piercings are a form of body art and self-expression that are becoming more widely accepted. For those considering a piercing, Manhattan has several options. Both Black Mammoth Tattoo and Syndicate Tattoo, two of the most well-known body art shops in the area, are just a few doors apart on Poyntz Ave. But before heading straight down to Poyntz to get pierced, make sure to consider the following tips.
FIND — AND CONSULT WITH — A PROFESSIONAL PIERCER
Find a certified professional piercer to ensure a quality job. A good rule of thumb is that if a shop uses piercing guns or offers free piercings with the purchase of jewelry, it would be wise to look elsewhere. Piercing guns are more likely to spread infection, and most professionals won’t use them. Jon Dahl, professional piercer at Black Mammoth Tattoo, has been in the piercing industry for almost seven years and is passionate about what he does, he said. “If I could do it every day for free, I would,” Dahl said. Dahl said his number one tip for getting a piercing is to “stay...away from the internet when it comes to getting sound advice.” He said to instead bring questions to a professional piercer. John Fitzgerald, professional piercer at Syndicate Tattoo, also said to always ask your piercer any questions that come up. Fitzgerald has been piercing for over 20 years and said he urges anyone with questions
to come in and talk with him. “I don’t charge to consult with people,” Fitzgerald said. Kelsie McFadden, sophomore in secondary education, said she recommends going to a piercer who makes you feel comfortable. McFadden went to Dahl for her second lobe piercing. “He did a great job of making me feel calm and prepared,” she said. Fitzgerald echoed McFadden’s advice. “If you come in, and we don’t mesh, find another professional,” Fitzgerald said.
SCHEDULE A TIME, OR JUST WALK IN
Fitzgerald said small town shops typically only have one piercer on staff due to lower demand. If you want to walk in without an appointment, it’s likely an artist will be able to fit you in. However, it is important to set aside a good chunk of time to get your piercing done. Dahl said a good artist shouldn’t rush through the process, and taking it slow can alleviate some of the anxiety that comes with getting piercings while ensuring a quality job. Just take a deep breath, and be patient with your piercer. Even ask him or her to slow down if you get overwhelmed. The timing of your piercing in relation to your personal health is also crucial to consider. Dahl said it’s important to understand that everyone’s body handles the healing process differently and that overall health will affect the healing of a piercing. Even stress levels and sleeping habits come into play, Dahl said. So try not to
schedule a piercing the same week you have five midterms to cram for.
RELAX
It’s easier said than done, but when you’re getting pierced, try not to think about that needle too much. This is especially important for those who get squeamish easily. McFadden said she appreciated not seeing the piercing needle as Dahl was getting ready to pierce her ear. “I know better than to show the needle,” Dahl said.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR PIERCING
One thing that most piercers agree on is that taking good care of a piercing is non-negotiable. Both Fitzgerald and Dahl said the key to allowing a piercing to heal is not touching it. Anyone who has ever gotten a piercing at Claire’s has been told to spin the earring every few hours. Dahl said this could be one of the worst things for your piercing. He said it’s important to give piercings time and space to heal. Dahl said he can’t stress that point enough. According to both Dahl and Fitzgerald, a mild soap and saline solution are all that is necessary to keep a piercing clean. Dahl said to stay away from anything else. Fitzgerald said some other professionals may not recommend saline, but “it’s worked well for 17 years of my career.” Beyond keeping it clean, just leave your piercing alone. “Your body is made to heal,” Dahl said. “Let it do its job.”

REVIEW: Logic can’t revitalize alter-ego on “YSIV” GREG WOODS
THE COLLEGIAN
If you would like to write a review with the Collegian, send us an email at opinion@kstatecollegian.com to get started. There was a time when Logic was a rising star in hiphop, an old-school rapper, a talented, ambitious artist who sported the chains and kicks to prove it. He rolled out classics like “The Spotlight,” “Man of the Year” and “5AM.” He had conspicuous hunger and scintillating flows. Those songs were all part of his sterling “Young Sinatra” mixtape trilogy, which includes 2011’s “Young Sinatra,” 2012’s “Young Sinatra: Undeniable” and 2013’s “Young Sinatra: Welcome to Forever.” The titles were a nod to Frank Sinatra, from whom Logic said he draws inspiration. He even termed his fans the Rattpack (Real All The Time), an ode to Sinatra’s Rat Pack. Suffice it to say, Logic respected those who came before him and made sure his music reflected it. In some ways, he still does. In others, though, Logic has changed so dramatically from his mixtape days that it’s fair to wonder if he’s still the same guy. In the last two years or so, he shaved his head, dropped two lackluster “Bobby Tarantino” mixtapes and rapped about being biracial so much that in the eyes of the Internet in 2018, he is nothing more than a meme. That’s why I was cautiously optimistic about the release of “YSIV,” the fourth and final installment in the “Young Sinatra” series. Since Logic released “Welcome to Forever,” he has dropped three studio albums and two mixtapes. Five years have passed. On “YSIV,” could he resurrect that insatiable, scrappy, hard-hitting alter-ego and do it justice? The answer? No. But maybe it isn’t his fault, and maybe it was always going to end this way.
Both Manhattan Locations Logic YSIV album Cover
Look, “YSIV” is cool. It’s designed for the fans who have been with him the whole way, the ones who appreciate the “Sinatra” and “Logic” samples, the ones who recognize the hook on “The Return” and the ones who appreciate sequels like “Street Dreams II.” It is, in essence, a throwback album, complete with the boom-bap beats Logic made legions of fans rapping over. I enjoyed a lot of this album. The intro track, “Thank You,” is a sequel to the “Undeniable” outro, on which Logic uses fans’ adoring voicemails. He’s heartfelt on “The Glorious Five,” a pleasant track that will remind hardcore fans of 2013’s “Feel Good.” And I loved “Wu Tang Forever,” an eight-minute joint that includes all eight living members of the Wu Tang Clan. “Everybody Dies,” “100 Miles and Running” and “Ordinary Day” are all highlights for me, too. Logic is boastful, skillful and melodic on these tracks, respectively, a healthy balance that any rap fan should appreciate. I love Logic. He’s my favorite rapper. But this album is exactly what I feared it would be: a referendum on the ways
he’s changed as a person and the uninspired music he has made since he peaked. Of course, this is all subjective. When did he peak? Some fans think “Under Pressure,” Logic’s first studio album, is his best work. Others side with “Everybody,” his third. But “YSIV” was never going to be able to match the first three Young Sinatra tapes. For example: Logic sampled a litany of Star Wars quotes on those mixtapes, like Count Dooku booming, “As you can see, my Jedi powers are far beyond yours,” and “You have interfered with our affairs for the last time.” He also used “Bruce Lee: A Warrior’s Journey” to sample the narrator saying, plainly, “You are watching a master at work.” Fans hoping to hear those samples surface on “YSIV” were always going to be disappointed. That’s because Logic didn’t sell any of the first three “Young Sinatra” mixtapes, so he was able to sample whatever he liked.

Another service the Olson’s provide to Manhattan is in the area of orthopedics, such as making modifications to shoes. They sometimes find that customers need their help more than initially expected. “It amazes me sometimes,” Dian said. “They’ll come in and they’re having foot issues and the doctor sent them and you’ll look and you’ll say ‘how long have you had those shoes’… ‘well I’ve only had ‘em 10 years.’” Edwin Sr., who is also a pedorthist, has made it a point to
keep himself educated and to make himself an expert in his service, even if it took a moment of truth to realize that he needed to do so. “We did a lot of orthopedic work,” Edwin Sr. said. “My grandfather taught me and…my father. I thought I knew everything, but when I was 43 years old, I came to the conclusion I didn’t know anything. So I went to a school in Ball State in Muncie, Indiana, and got a piece of paper to hang on the wall down there that says I know stuff now about people with orthopedic problems.” While Edwin Sr. and Dian have been running their business for a long time, they are only the
one generation out of four to have done so. To trace the business back to its roots, one must go all the way back to the mid to late 1800s when Edwin Sr.’s great grandfather came to America from Sweden as an 18 year old seeking land. Edwin Sr.’s grandfather joined the Civil War and fought for the Union as a cannoneer. He then moved to the territory that is now Kansas and attempted to become a farmer. After farming didn’t work out, he moved to Manhattan with his family and kids and began his work as the owner of the first Olson’s Shoe Service, which was initially located in what was once the 100 block of Poyntz Ave.
“That’s how we got started in Manhattan,” said Edwin Sr. “A silly guy wanting to leave Sweden and get him some land and come to Kansas.” After Edwin’s Sr.’s great grandfather passed away at 90 years old, Sam Olson, Edwin Sr.’s grandfather, took over and moved the family business to Aggieville. While Olson’s Shoe Service currently sits between Jimmy Johns and Sisters of Sound, the building Jimmy Johns is in served at one time as both the Olson’s business property and their home. In 1984, the Olson’s business moved into its current location. One significant development Olson’s Shoe Service have made within the past few decades is the
sale of Birkenstock sandals. This began with Edwin Sr.’s desire to make some sandals. “I’d cut a trace around your foot and had my little patterns and this and that,” said Edwin Sr. “In the winter time, I cut all my pieces and stuff and when spring came, I would fit these straps to you so you could have a nice pair of sandals and they cost about $18. Custom made. Everything was leather.” Later, Edwin Sr. attended a shoe show where he met a German woman selling Birkenstocks. “I wasn’t convinced, but she thought they were the best,” Edwin Sr. said. “I was pretty sure mine were better. I wore them around the show and this and that
and they were better than what I made because they had the cork foot bed and mine were just all leather.” It took some convincing that Birkenstocks were better than his completely leather sandals, but eventually Edwin Sr. placed his first order of Birkenstocks. From 1889 to today, Olson’s Shoe Service has made quite a name for itself. The company receives requests for clothing and accessory repairs from both in-store customers and other customers who ship in their items, sometimes from out of state. Since 1889, Olson’s customers have come in a with a shoe problem and left with sure advice.

Olson’s Shoe Service puts its best foot forward DEREK SIMMONS THE COLLEGIAN
When walking down down the alley between Jimmy Johns and O’Malley’s in Aggieville, there is little expectation to find anything other than a possible shortcut to a parking lot, let alone a shoe store. Olson’s Shoe Service, to be exact, is what can be found when venturing down this obscure alleyway. One conversation with Susan Ebberts, an agriculture tech-
nician at K-State’s veterinary health center, and it is clear that Olson’s Shoe Service is anything but obscure. “Everybody knows about Olson’s,” Ebberts said. “I’ve known about it forever.” Edwin Olson Sr. and his wife of 56 years, Dian Olson, are the fourth generation of the Olson family to run this small and humble business. Their son also works with them. Since 1889, Olson’s Shoe Service has been serving the Manhattan community. While the Olson’s do, of course, sell shoes such
as orthopedics and Birkenstock sandals, they serve customers all sorts of other ways. For example, they’ll repair anything from expensive shoes to leather handbags. “A lot of ladies wear their dress shoes,” Edwin Sr. said. “They got their five-inch high heels that they bought in Paris when they were on a trip and they paid a lot of money for them. So they want new heels put on them; new soles. They don’t want to throw them away. A lot of cowboys, they got new soles and heels that we got to stitch this on, double stitch, and they pay a lot of
money for those cowboy boots.” Other reasons for repairs or adjustments can range from a pair of shoes getting in the hands, or jaws in this case, of the family dog to life’s many stages taking its toll on the humble waistband. “There’s always the old guys that are getting fatter and the young guys that are getting skinnier so we have to adjust their belts,” Edwin Sr. said.

OP-ED: Homecoming can be a detriment to students’ education MACY DAVIS
THE COLLEGIAN
If you would like to write an Op-Ed with the Collegian, send us an email at opinion@ kstatecollegian.com to get started. On Tuesday night, Bramlage Coliseum was filled with dancers, cheering students and thematically appropriate music for Wildca t Request Live. It’s not the best environment to study in, but between acts, I was reading for class because I wouldn’t have been able to get my homework done that night otherwise. And I wasn’t the only one doing this. All-University Homecoming at Kansas State is a flawed event that relies too heavily on student labor, and it hasn’t changed to reflect the university’s new student organization policy that puts K-State at a distance from Greek life, student clubs and so on. Weeks before Homecoming begins, committees are formed, plans are made and work begins. Homecoming is chock full of events, beginning with the 5K race on Sunday and ending with the home football game on Saturday. Each of these events has a committee and they can require hours of work from students. The way Homecoming

The K-State Classy Cats participate in the Kansas State All-University Homecoming Parade in Aggieville on Friday, Oct. 20, 2017. works differs slightly between houses, and I can only base my experiences on participating in Homecoming through my scholarship house for four years, but we do participate on the same level that Greek organizations do. My house requires a certain number of hours to be spent “pomping” — the art of stuffing copious amounts of tissue paper through chicken wire to build parade floats. We must attend a certain number of events and serve on a committee. If
I failed to do these things, I would face a monetary fine from my house. This year, Homecoming is occurring during midterm exams, which adds another layer of stress to students that have to participate in Homecoming events. It’s hard to focus on studying when you’re also focusing on fulfilling your obligations to your house. The K-State Alumni Association sponsors Homecoming, so the event exists separately from K-State be-
cause the Alumni Association is a separate entity from the university. This means they don’t necessarily have to acknowledge the changes made by the university last year regarding the student organization policy, where fraternities and sororities are now independent student organizations and not directly affiliated with the university. However, the Alumni Association should recognize this change in the way they approach Homecoming. For example, organizations
participating in Homecoming can’t even use the K-State logo on their t-shirts and floats due to their status as independent student organizations. They’re not officially connected to the university anymore, so using K-State’s copyrighted material is illegal. While K-State has essentially washed its hands of Greek life in order to avoid taking responsibility for Title IX allegations that stem from crimes and other incidents at Manhattan fraternities, the Alumni Association appears to have no such qualms. Instead, it feels like they’re continuing to take advantage of students to gain free marketing. Homecoming is a tradition, but I feel like it’s gone beyond its original purpose of welcoming alumni back to their alma mater. Some aspects of Homecoming are good. For example, the Homecoming football game, the philanthropic 5K and the children’s carnival are good events that either connect to the community or have a dedicated cause. However, events like Pant the Chant and Wildcat Request Live seem to draw audiences primarily made up of students whose houses participate in Homecoming and may require attendance. Unless I’ve missed something, there’s not a large outside
audience for these events, and they are scheduled for the evening, cutting into key homework time. I have mixed feelings about the parade. It draws a large crowd, and it’s fun to see all the kids along the parade route who are super excited. However, the weeks of work that go into building elaborate parade floats seem excessive, and then they just get demolished at the end of it all. The parade should look toward a more sustainable model that is considerate of the free student labor that helps make it all possible. When I moved into my scholarship house four years ago, I didn’t know I was going to have to participate in Homecoming, and each year it has become harder and harder to be excited about Homecoming because I know that it’s likely to negatively affect my grades, my other on-campus commitments and my attitude. Those who participate in Homecoming are only a portion of K-State students, but Homecoming week can be a detriment to students who are involved. Homecoming shouldn’t be done away with entirely, but the Alumni Association should take a conscious look at what they’re really asking for and expecting from students.

Letter: Protect immigrant families by opposing changes to SNAP If you would like to write a letter to the Collegian, send us an email at letters@kstatecollegian. com or visit kstatecollegian.com/ contact. No one should be forced to choose between feeding their family and staying in this country. Unfortunately, this is exactly the current situation many students of the Kansas State family will find themselves in if proposed
rule changes to immigration are implemented. Those coming to the United States will be forced to choose between the assistance they need and foregoing the American Dream. This would be the reality for many under the proposed changes to what “public charge” means under the Department of Homeland Security. Following the new
changes, a person could be denied permanent residency if they have been a recipient of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP (formerly food stamps), Medicaid, federal housing assistance or other anti-poverty programs. All of these programs help many students afford to stay in school. Not only is this bad policy — it’s cruel and immoral.
Beyond this horrific impact, the new rule would have a much broader effect. Families may forgo essential assistance, even if they or their kids are legally entitled to it, out of fear of being deported. This hits home for many of the K-State family. We, as members of the K-State family, need to publicly decry this new rule change. We also need to call
on our elected officials like Senator Pat Roberts, Senator Jerry Moran and Representative Roger Marshall to publicly oppose this rule change.

Know Your Opponent: Oklahoma State NATHAN ENSERRO THE COLLEGIAN
Photo by Cooper Kinley | K-State Athletics/COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP
Kansas State University plays Oklahoma State University in football at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma on Nov 18, 2017.
The Oklahoma State Cowboys will roll into town on Saturday to battle K-State for the Homecoming football game. Head coach Mike Gundy brings a 4-2 Oklahoma State squad that just got beat in a close game by Iowa State in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Gundy’s team has one Big 12 win, a 20-point beatdown of Kansas in Lawrence. Gundy is a disciple of ex-Oklahoma State coach Pat Jones, a power run game
advocate. He was a quarterback and an assistant for Jones. He also teamed up with Dana Holgorsen, an air raid descendent, and picked up a lot of cutting-edge ideas to make a truly unique spread offense. They run the ball a little more than would be expected from their reputation, thanks to senior running back Justice Hill’s skills. They play mostly out of the shotgun with Hill a step behind and to the side of the senior quarterback Taylor Cornelius, the other four eligible receivers spread out wide to create as much lateral space in the defense
as possible. An offensive set they seem to really like against Boise State this year had the one running back in the backfield with Cornelius and a two-receiver stack outside the numbers on each side. Out of that formation, they ran a few different looks. They sent both receivers on the short side of the field straight out, 10 and three yards respectively, before the close receiver planted and looked for a pass on a curl route, the other receiver blocked for him. The very next down, they lined up like that again,
but this time the front receiver ran a straight-up go route and the back receiver ran a slant. The corners bit on the foot plant for the slant, but Cornelius out threw his receiver, who was open with a step down the numbers. It will be interesting to see if they use this formation a lot against a K-State secondary that is small and refuses to play anything resembling press coverage consistently and struggles to tackle in the open field.

Here’s what to look for as K-State hosts Oklahoma State on Saturday YEAR’S SUCCESS IN STILLWATER?
JARRETT WHITSON THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State football team hosts Oklahoma State on Saturday for the Homecoming game. The Wildcats are coming off a 37-34 loss to Baylor that ended with a last-second field goal. Through six games, the Wildcats are 2-4, and 0-3 in Big 12 competition. Junior running back Alex Barnes is coming off a career game against Baylor, and Skylar Thompson went off against the Cowboys last season. Oklahoma State is the best in the country at sacking the quarterback and has a skilled running back of its own. In a series that is often decided by close games, will K-State win its first conference game, or will Oklahoma State bounce back from a disappointing loss?
1. CAN THOMPSON REPEAT LAST
Last season, K-State traveled to Stillwater, Oklahoma to face No. 10 Oklahoma State. The Wildcats were a 19.5-point underdog and were one win away from becoming bowl eligible for the eighth straight season. With the odds against them, K-State came out on top, 45-40. Then-redshirt freshman Skylar Thompson had a career game, throwing for 204 yards and three touchdowns, only registering three incomplete passes. The signal-caller also ran for 93 yards and one score. In his redshirt sophomore campaign, Thompson has thrown for 750 yards and five touchdowns so far. His best game was in week three against UTSA, when he threw for 213 yards and two touchdowns. UTSA’s passing defense is 96th in the nation, giving up 244.2 yards per game. The Wildcats have the
Big 12’s worst passing offense, averaging just 170.5 yards per game through the air. On the other hand, the Cowboys have the second-worst passing defense in the conference, allowing 272.5 yards per game. They have given up 15 touchdowns through the air this season.

2. BATTLE OF THE BACKS
K-State’s Alex Barnes and Oklahoma State’s Justice Hill are two of the best backs in the Big 12. The juniors are second and third in the conference in rushing yards per game, respectively. Hill has gained 107.2 yards per game this season, while Barnes has netted 101.2 yards per game. Hill leads the league with seven rushing touchdowns, while Barnes is tied for second with five. Last week against Baylor, Barnes ran for a career-high 250 yards and career-second best three touchdowns. Barnes will face a tough test this week, as Oklahoma State has the Big 12’s best-run defense, surrendering 117.8 yards per game. Hill accumulated more than 1,000 rushing yards in each of his first two seasons and has 643 yards so far this year. K-State is normally known for its run defense, but this year it is ninth in the Big 12, giving up 180.7 yards per game on the ground to opponents in 2018. Barnes versus Hill could be one of the better matchups to keep track of on Saturday, and the success of each could
3. A HISTORY OF CLOSE GAMES
Since 2010, the Cowboys hold a 5-3 record against the Wildcats. Of those eight games, six have been decided by 10 points or less. K-State has only come out on top in one of those six games, which was last year’s upset win in Stillwater. Of the two games since 2010 decided by more than 10 points, K-State has won both (44-30 in 2012 and 48-14 in 2014).
4. UNDER PRESSURE
Oklahoma State is the best in the conference at taking down the quarterback. This season, they lead the league with 28 team sacks, and it is not even close. Oklahoma is second with 16 sacks. The Cowboys also lead the nation in that category. Junior defensive end Jordan Brailford is a large part of the Cowboys sacking success. Brailford leads the Big 12 and the nation with eight total sacks. K-State has given up 20 sacks this season, so the offensive line’s ability to fend off Brailford and Co. will be instrumental to K-State’s chances at a win this weekend.
5. NOT AS GOOD AS THEY ONCE WERE
After a 3-0 start to the sea-
son, the Cowboys have since gone 1-2 after beginning Big 12 play. Their conference schedule started with a 41-17 loss to Texas Tech, followed by a 4828 win over Kansas, and most recently a 48-42 loss to Iowa State. In the four games before playing Oklahoma State, the Cyclones had averaged 17.5 points per game and then went off for 48 against the Cowboys. Oklahoma State still has the numbers of a high-powered offense, but it has not felt like they are as strong of a conference title contender as in the past. Quarterback Taylor Cornelius is third in the Big 12 with 305 passing yards per game. As a team, the Cowboys have the Big 12’s third-best scoring offense (44 points per game) and are fourth-best in total offense (523.3 yards per game). The offensive production has been overshadowed by the lack of defense, which has given up 37 points per game in the last three and has allowed 484.67 yards per game as well. How to watch The Wildcats and Cowboys are set to kick off at 11 a.m. Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The game will be nationally televised on ESPNU. Fans can also watch the game on WatchESPN, and listen on the K-State Sports Radio Network.

Listen up: Here’s how two alumni created a major K-State sports podcast JARRETT WHITSON THE COLLEGIAN
For third-generation K-State graduate Scott McFarland, it’s only natural that he hasn’t missed a single football game inside Bill Snyder Family Stadium since 2008. McFarland graduated from K-State in spring 2014. After college, he started a job in retail inventory planning and management with Payless. He had that job until 2017, and for the past year has worked a similar job with Hallmark Corporation. While his job occupies most of his time, it is not the only thing McFarland spends his time doing. Even since leaving Manhattan, his passion for K-State football remains. During his time at K-State, McFarland said that he started listening to podcasts a lot. As in about 100 hours worth a week, he said. Most of the podcasts that McFarland listens to are just college football fans talking about the sport or their team. He added that for a long time, there was really only one big K-State podcast, and now there is really just two. Eventually, solely listening to podcasts would come to be not enough. “I just couldn’t get enough,” McFarland said. “I thought over the years that I needed to start my own. It was around the time of the K-State men’s basketball team’s run in the NCAA Tournament this past spring that the idea of starting a podcast began

to materialize. McFarland said that after K-State defeated Creighton in the first round and prepared to play UMBC in the round of 32, he started talking to his cousin —and now co-host— Grant about the idea. When the Wildcats defeated the Retrievers and advanced to the Sweet 16, the first “Boscoe’s Boys” podcast was created to preview the matchup with Kentucky. After K-State knocked off Kentucky, the Boys went to Atlanta and did a live episode from a brewery ahead of K-State’s Elite Eight game. Since then, things have taken off for “Boscoe’s Boys.” They put up one episode a week during the summer offseason and have had a few big-name
guests. First, let’s take a step back and look at the name: “Boscoe’s Boys.” Where does that come from? From 1906-1909, a black Labrador named Boscoe represented K-State at football and baseball games. McFarland said he believes that Boscoe was a great mascot, and should get a return. In our interview, he even offered up a plea for K-State students to get behind a movement to bring back Boscoe as K-State football’s mascot. What does it look like to even start a podcast? McFarland said that “anyone with a laptop can start a podcast,” with iPhone earbuds and a microphone. “Boscoe’s Boys” started with an iPhone app that basical-
CLASSIFIEDS 785.370.6355 | kstatecollegian.com
ly works the same as recording a phone call. McFarland said that it was very basic — you could drop in sound effects, but there was very little editing and producing involved. Eventually, the Boys would move to Audacity and then on to conference microphones. Today, they have since progressed to using a mixer but still do not do much editing or producing. While they would like to improve in balancing audio quality, dropping in sound and doing transitions, McFarland said he recognizes that they just do not have a background with audio production. Besides, he said he kind of likes the “element of just being guys talking and having fun.” With full-time jobs, the podcast is mostly a hobby, but with some sponsors, they are able to make a little bit of money. McFarland said on average, they will spend about five or six hours a week on a podcast. McFarland said he would even call it a side hustle. As was previously mentioned, the Boys have gotten a few notable guests to join their podcast, including K-State Athletics Director Gene Taylor. McFarland said that as soon as he started the podcast, he knew he would want to get Taylor on air. “I could not be more thankful to everyone on the athletics staff,” McFarland said about setting up a time to talk with Taylor. “Boscoe’s Boys” has also had episodes with K-State sports journalists, including Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle

and Matt Hall and Grant Flanders of K-State Online. Two former K-State football players — Travis Tannahill (tight end, 2009-12) and Reggie Walker (linebacker, 2005-08) — have been on the podcast. When asked about the future of “Boscoe’s Boys,” McFarland had a few ideas. “I would love to get a local sponsor on and start building stuff with them locally,” McFarland said. He added that he would like to do live podcasts and watch parties, potentially in Manhattan or in Kansas City for away games. He referenced a tailgate that “Boscoe’s Boys” did ahead of the UTSA football game last month, and said that about 50 people showed up. After having Taylor come on the podcast, McFarland said he hopes to continue to build rapport with him and have him come around consistently. He even one day hopes to be able to have K-State football and men’s basketball coaches join the show,
he said. Whatever happens, McFarland said he just wants “Boscoe’s Boys” to continue to grow and succeed. “So many podcasts just come around and die,” he said. “I don’t want that.” McFarland said two good episodes for new listeners to check out would be the episode with Gene Taylor from Aug. 12, and the Father’s Day “Dad Pod” from June 17. He also told fans to watch out for two upcoming episodes. The first being on Oct. 17, which will be a “tell-all” of the Ron Prince era with former players Reggie Walker and Ian Campbell. On Oct. 22, McFarland said the Boys “will have a pretty good episode dropping on Oct. 22 with another big guest potentially.” You can listen to “Boscoe’s Boys” on iTunes, Spotify or at armchairallamericans.com. You can follow them on Twitter at @ BoscoesBoys, @scottwildcat and @grant_ksu.

Former K-State men’s basketball, Hall of Fame coach Fred ‘Tex’ Winter dead at 96 JARRETT WHITSON THE COLLEGIAN
Former Kansas State men’s basketball and Hall of Fame coach Fred ‘Tex’ Winter passed away at the age of 96 in Manhattan. Winter was a longtime college basketball coach, and spent time in the National Basketball Association as well. His time as a head coach includes stops at Marquette (1951-53), K-State (1954-1968), Washington (1969-72), a stop in the NBA with the Houston Rockets
(1972-74), then back to college at Northwestern (1975-78) and Long Beach State (1978-83). In total, Winter's record at the collegiate level was 451336, while he went 51-78 in his two seasons at the helm with the Rockets. Before he was the head coach at K-State, Winter was an assistant coach in Manhattan. From 1947-51, he served as an assistant to Jack Gardner. During that time, the Wildcats made it to the Final Four twice. When he became the head coach at K-State, Win-

On defense, they run a base 4-2 defense, but do not hesitate to pull a tackle in favor of another linebacker (3-3) in second and third and medium situations. The six-man front, much like Texas, allows for a third safety to play in their base defense. They are not afraid to bring a blitz on third down and have 12 more sacks than the next-best sacking defense in the conference. Despite the six-man front, as opposed to a traditional seven-man front, Oklahoma State has struggled to stop the pass but squashed other teams’ running games this season. They average just 117 rush yards allowed per game, the best in the conference, while allowing 272 pass yards

Sophomore quarterback Skylar Thompson should make another start this week, he played well last week in the absence of junior quarterback and head-coach-favorite Alex Delton. If he is on his game Saturday, he could have a good day against a bad pass defense.

K-State soccer eyes first Big 12 victory of the 2018 season on Friday ADAM MEYER
THE COLLEGIAN
Alex Todd | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP
Keeping the ball away from two KU players, K-State forward Hannah Davis kicks the ball back to an open teammate during the game on October 5, 2018.
The Kansas State soccer team will host the Texas Tech Red Raiders on Friday at the K-State Soccer Complex. The Wildcats have faced four Big 12 opponents this season, and have lost all four of those matches. They most recently lost 2-0 to the Kansas Jayhawks last Friday. The Red Raiders sit at 2-2-1 in conference play and are coming off a 1-0 win against Oklahoma State. K-State has never defeated a Big 12 opponent at the K-State
Soccer Complex— they are 0-7-0 all time at home against conference teams. K-State is also looking for its first home win since defeating Drake 1-0 on August 23rd. After the poor performance in the loss to Kansas, the Wildcats have been very focused this week to bounce back and finally put up that first “W” in the conference win-loss record. Sophomore forward Hannah Davis said that the loss to instate rival Kansas has led to more competitive practices this week. “We have all been going at each other, we know that we need to come out and play hard this weekend,” Davis said Wednesday morning. “Especially after how
we lost to Kansas, that was hard. This week we have had very competitive practices, that’s helping us get ready for Texas Tech.” Head coach Mike Dibbini said he believes the team could turn the rest of its season around with a win on Friday. “Their desire is still there, we are progressing and playing really well. We’re just not getting the result that we want,” Dibbini said on Wednesday. “It’s a sign of a team knocking on the door. The girls are just itching to find a way to get a win. A win on Friday could give us confidence and we could control our destiny the rest of the way in conference play.” The Big 12 is a competitive
league for women’s soccer this year — eight teams, excluding K-State and Iowa State, have at least two conference wins. That makes achieving the first conference win of 2018 easier said than done for K-State. “Texas Tech is another challenging team, there isn’t a single easy win for the rest of the year,” he said. “They present a lot of dynamic offense, they are a difficult opponent to defend for 90 minutes.” K-State’s bid for its first win in nearly a month will begin at 6 p.m. Friday. The match will stream on ESPN3, and can broadcast on 101.5KROCK in Manhattan.
