T
he debate of raising the minimum wage seems to be never-ending. The current federal minimum wage of $7.25 leaves a full-time worker, based on 260 eight-hour work days, with just $15,080 each year, according to paywizard.org. This amounts to approximately $290 per week. The national poverty line for a family unit consisting of two people is an income of $14,570 per year, according to minimum-wage.org. A family of two with one income at the minimum wage amount is barely living above the poverty line. Josh Smith, 19, of Manhattan, said he was able to survive making minimum wage because he lived on his own and did not have to account for any dependents. “I (used) to make minimum wage, and anyone who lives on their own can hardly make it by on minimum wage,” Smith said. “If you’re single and have no kids, then maybe you could barely get by.” In his 2014 State of the Union address, President Barack Obama called on Congress to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour. Due to a partisan stall in Congress, however, it is unlikely that it will rise from $7.25 in the near future, according to minimum-wage. org. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 29 states have minimum wages
Guest Column: answering the question of why K-State needs Black Student Union
MUENFUA ALLEN LEWIS As the president of the Black Student Union and a long-running member of BSU for now entering four years, I get asked all the time, “Why do we need a Black Student Union?” There is no exact answer to be honest. However, I will say this: BSU exists because we as African-American students exist. Looking at our country, and even our university, black representation lacks in what seems like every facet of our community. All the plentiful aspects of black culture are not in full representation within our society. As African-American students, we are more than the sports we compete in and the hip-hop music we create. Why do we need a Black Student Union? Because, in terms of student retention here at K-State, we are last in retaining our students compared to white and Hispanic students. see page

above the federal minimum wage. New York has a minimum wage of $8.75, while California and Massachusetts are both at $9. Others have raised their state minimum wages as well, due to a higher cost of living. States with a lower cost of living – like Kansas, Iowa and Indiana – have seen no changes in the minimum wage. “Raising the wages of every employee would likely change the price of the product,” Ted Morris, owner of 13 Wendy’s restaurants in Kansas, said. According to Morris, raising minimum wage would be just the beginning of raising prices and other wages. “Raising the wage of employees who make minimum wage would be just the start of the process,” Morris said. “Everyone else’s wages would have to be raised too, especially employees who have worked for a few years and earned raises.” Morris said the real issue surrounding discussions of minimum wage is making enough profit to pay employees. “Being a successful business is being profitable,” Morris said. “The trade-off between your labor costs and the retail cost of your product is what determines your profitability. That’s the real challenge in raising the minimum wage, is doing so without having to cut employees.” Smith said he believes lawmak-

I think the minimum wage should be at the very least $9 in Kansas.” Seth Eckels, freshman in chemical engineering, said that
Kansas’ minimum wage is too low, but raising it to something like $15 would be just as bad. He said he thinks the ideal amount would be about $8.50 or $9. “Minimum wage isn’t enough for a college student,” Eckels said. “You would have to work so much that you wouldn’t have any time to study if you were paying for your own rent, tuition and books.”
Texbook initiative addresses challenge of rising student costs JAMIE TEIXEIRA the collegian
To combat the rising student cost of textbooks, K-State Libraries and Student Governing Association have partnered to support the Open/Alternative Textbook Initiative. Initially made possible through funding from Student Centered Tuition Enhancement funds with supplemental allocations provided by K-State Libraries, the initiative arrived on campus two years ago. In fall 2014, the Offices of the Provost and President committed funds to the initiative for two years. Textbook prices have skyrocketed in recent years, increasing 1,041 percent since 1977, according to the Bureau

of Labor Statistics data. While the initiative is currently saving students money, Student Body Vice President Joe Tinker said it has not yet reached its goal. “The goal is to have 75 percent of all 100 and 200 level classes be part (of) this initiative,” Tinker, senior in psychology, said. “All (professors) have to do is submit a proposal to the open textbook committee. The review committee will evaluate the proposal and make grants based on the selection criteria.” Molly Gabrielson, senior in elementary education, used an alternative text in her education class with Thomas Vontz, professor of curriculum and instruction. To Gabrielson, the alternative textbook materials made class more interesting. see page

Integrating smartwatches into college-student life WESTON VITT the collegian
The battle for your wrist continues, as new smartwatches continue to be manufactured and sold from companies such as Google, Apple and Pebble. New innovations will continue to be made, as these companies plus others continue to try and get their products on your wrist. But how can a smartwatch mesh with the average college student’s life? With the different built-in capabilities and apps that are available with a smartwatch, it can be a great companion to any phone. From receiving text messages to checking your Twitter feed, there is a potential use for everyone. John Poorman, junior in management information systems and Garmin Vívoactive owner, said he uses his smartwatch every day and doesn’t feel right when he’s not wearing it. “I use it, of course, to tell time,” Poorman said. Poorman said he also uses the device’s GPS it to track his runs and bike rides, and even how many laps he swam. Poorman also sets a step goal on his watch for extra motivation. “I have a goal of 14,000 steps per day, and if I’ve been sit-

Smart Watches are becoming the new way to keep in touch with people while on the go. ting for a while it tells me to get up and move,” Poorman said. Poorman also said he thinks that any college student could benefit from owning a smartwatch. “I can answer phone calls, I get notifications on it and it connects to my phone through
Bluetooth,” Poorman said. “So, I can check the weather and I can pause and play music that I’m listening to on my watch instead of having to pull my phone out.” Kem Sanchez, sophomore in finance, does not own a smartwatch, but said she was interested in what one could do for her.
“I would like to keep track of my movement and be able to look at my wrist and see if someone was trying to reach me,” Sanchez said. If she could use one app on the watch, Sanchez said it would be the messaging app because it is more accessible from her wrist.
New apps and features on smartwatches are developing and Sanchez said she could also see them being useful in emergencies. “I think it’d be cool if it was an emergency situation and you didn’t have your phone,” Sanchez said. “Then you could dial 911 or use an emergency service app.” Nate Mitchell, senior in education, said he believes that a smartwatch works for a professional classroom setting as well. “In a professional setting, phones cause distractions and I don’t feel that watches cause distractions,” Mitchell said. “It’s not like a phone; you can’t do as many things on the watch that you can do on your phone, and I don’t see it being a distraction for students in a classroom.” Mitchell also said he believes that the severity of distraction can come from the type of smartwatch that you own. From the Apple Watch that unlocks capabilities like answering a phone call and tweeting to the Pebble Time that is notification-based with less ways to interact, your distractions will come from how much the watch you purchase can do. “I think they’re all around very useful,” Poorman said. “There are just so many different things you can do with them.”

“(Vonz) wrote our book,” Gabrielson said. “It was actually in the form of an ebook and I could open it up on my phone or iPad. I think that what I liked best was I knew what I was reading was important.” Gabrielson said she felt that when the teacher used personal examples or chose specific readings, she had more connection to the teacher and the class. The students are not the only ones benefitting from the initiative, however. “Teachers are going to benefit because of more personalized experience,” Tinker said. “Students are more connected because resources are provided by the teacher. So (there’s) better engagement.” The initiative allows teachers to compile their own articles, documents, videos and examples as reading material for the class. “The professor accumulates a huge variety of resources, but with this you can accumulate articles, YouTube videos and more,” Tinker said. The initiative does require more work from teachers though,
since they have to compile articles and materials for a class packet or book. “Teachers will have to reallocate their time significantly to write a book, so that’s a deterrent for the program,” Brady said. Gabrielson, however, said she felt more invested in classes because the reading materials were more interactive. Videos, guiding questions and side notes were some of the features that helped her connect with class material better than a textbook. “It made reading more engaging,” Gabrielson said. “I didn’t dread reading (and) it didn’t seem as boring.” Like some students, Gabrielson said she was not sure she liked the idea of virtual class materials. “I was skeptical in the beginning,” Gabrielson said. “I’m used to old-fashioned textbooks.” Some students like Gabrielson may have concerns about the program, such as the electronic medium of the materials.

“Some people may have a hard time reading on electronic readers,” Becky Brady, senior in elementary education, said. “Some students like having the physical versions of the books.” Students having a hard time with the technology can talk to their professor to get access to physical copies of the materials, according to Brady. Gabrielson said she believes students can learn to adapt to the new style, though, just as she did in her class. “I’m a visual learner, so I like having it in my hands,” Gabrielson said. “But by the third week in, I realized that I really did like it better.” The initiative provides a new medium for textbooks and class materials for students and professors in an age of changing and new technology. “Students respond better than to textbooks,” Tinker said. “We are catering to the needs of students in this generation.”

Cumulative grade-point average and graduation rates? Last. So why do we need a BSU? Because young African-Americans can’t afford to be without a sense of cultural pride and competency. Why do I and so many other African-American students know and have been taught more about European history than our own? We’re more than the history of slavery and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., although both are important pieces in our history. Why do we need a BSU? To give our African-American students a place to feel liberated and alleviated from the injustices our people face daily and the draining racism we encounter in our lives, even if it is just for just an hour and a half per week at a BSU meeting. K-State
is not perfect, let’s be real. There are many students who hold negative views and interpretations of African-Americans. The world isn’t perfect. BSU makes one forget that unfortunate reality once you walk into such an inviting and inclusive community. Why do we need a BSU? Our community serves as a place where anyone can educate themselves on our own culture. No, you don’t have to be African-American to attend BSU. Let it serve as an opportunity to gain a small, yet better, understanding of who we are as African-American students here at K-State. You see, it’s hard to cram an entire group of people’s culture, history and community into one organization, but if not us then who else will? We embrace our roles to do so. Imagine cramming the College Re-
publicans Club, Skydiving Club, Christian Challenge, Economics Club, and many more into one club? Sounds pretty difficult and hard to maintain. Through the obvious difficulty you could say we make it work and do a good job. Moving forward, we need the Black Student Union because we still have a ways to go in creating a better racial climate for people of color at K-State. Instances of racism are still happening on and off our campus. Also, we have to continue to increase diversity at our beloved university. We need more faces that represent all shades and colors, as long as they’re wearing purple. I’d say BSU exists because we ALL exist.

Kansas seeks to make voting harder for youth
JONATHAN GREIG the collegian
It’s almost time. You can feel the cool air slowly picking up the hair on your arm and gently placing it back down, while emblazoned leaves sway across the concrete sidewalks. You know that, again, it’s almost time. A slight smile breaks out across your face because you can feel that time coming, that ever-so-sweet opportunity ... oh yes, it is almost time for civic participation. Register to vote is what I’m saying, people. In an article published Monday, I discussed Kansas’ new and shiny suppressing voting laws. These mean that we are now one of the most restrictive states in the nation in this regard, in an effort to combat the evil and basically non-existent voting fraud that is rampant (but not at all rampant) in our state. Well, one group of potential voters these new restrictions hurt are young adults. Dan Froomkin of the Huffington Post took a look at this issue in his 2012 article, “Voter ID Laws
Take Aim At College-Student Voters.” In it, he argues that these laws disproportionately affect college students and other young adults because they are particularly susceptible to not voting, due to things like moving more often (even from places like dorm to dorm) and being less politically aware of new changes. Making voting more and more of a hassle is going to severely dissuade already apathetic students from getting to the polls. Kei Kawashima-Ginsberg, director of the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning, was quoted in the Kansas City Star article “Paltry youth voter turnout in KC raises concerns” on these same concerns. “States with the best youth turnout tend to make voting easy,” Kawashima-Ginsberg said. “Some have same-day voter registration. Oregon, which has very high turnout, does all mail-in ballots and just approved a law where people are automatical-
ly registered to vote when they get a driver’s license.” Not even two weeks ago, California passed a law following Oregon’s lead. According to the New York Times, “The new law will automatically register everyone who obtains or renews a driver’s license and who is legally eligible to vote unless he or she specifically opts out.” We here in Kansas should have that too. We here in Kansas should
demand that too. For those of you who will already be voting, I don’t have to tell you the importance of citizen participation. Such laws, however, only serve to broaden a basic principle of citizenship to those who could really be served by actually feeling that citizenship. Voter fraud is not a real issue in this state, do not let our politicians tell you otherwise. They have political motivation to suppress the generally left-leaning college and youth vote. We students can and should
demand better, easier and more inclusive voting laws, and thereby prove to our more apathetic peers that participation actually can make a difference.

K-State women’s golf struggles in Texas tournament RILEY GATES the collegian
The first day of the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invite went less than spectacular for the K-State women’s golf team. In 36 holes played Monday, the Wildcats shot team scores of 306 on the first 18 and 294 on the second 18. The total score of 600 put K-State at 24-over par and in 11th place after one day at University of Texas Golf Club in Austin, Texas. The individual placing after the first day did not go well for the Wildcats either. Highlighting the individual scores was Wildcat junior Madison Talley. Talley struggled through the first 18 holes of her day, shooting a 5-over par 77 on the course. She improved, however, on her second 18 of the day shooting a 1-under par 71. Unfortunately, the total of 148 put her at four-over par and sitting tied for 28th place with seven other competitors. Freshman Chloe Weir had a similar day as compared to Talley. Weir carded her first 18 holes of five-over 77. The second 18 was an even par 72 that featured five birdies for the Northern Ireland freshman. Weir is tied for 36th with Miami junior Del-
fina Acosta and Texas sophomore Natalie Karcher at five-over par. Not far behind Weir on the scoreboard was junior Katherine Gravel-Coursol who showed consistency in her 36 holes on Monday. She had two rounds, both at 75, which put her in a tie for 39th place with a total score of 150. Coming in at a nine-over par total of 153 was sophomore Connie Jaffrey. Jaffrey shot 77-76 on the course for K-State and sits in a sixway tie for 48th place within individual competitors. Wrapping up the individual scoring for K-State on Monday was senior Scotland Preston. She finished the day with scores of 79 and 77 on the course for a total of 156. She will enter Tuesday’s round at 12-over par and sits alone in 63rd place individually. The tournament’s current individual leaders are in a three-way tie consisting of sophomore Taylor Kim of Kent State, freshman Julie Houston of UTSA, and freshman Elizabeth Prior of UNLV. Kent State has a one-shot lead in the team standings at one-under as a team. The tournament will conclude today at 8:30 a.m. All competitors will be going off at the same time with a shotgun start.

On Saturday, as I sat in my usual seat in the second level of the press box at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, I saw a school, a team, a coach and a fan base collectively get punched in the mouth during K-State’s 100th Homecoming. While thinking of ideas for this column, it could be easy to conform to today’s “Sports Hot Take” culture and push the narrative that “Bill Snyder is losing his touch,” or, “Is this team going to make a bowl game?” or, my personal favorite of the things I’ve been hearing and seeing K-State fans say, “Oh man, we’re going to lose to KU.” Instead, I’m going to take another route. I’m going to tell you why I still believe this team can get it together and still have what some would consider a successful season. K-State’s start in the Big 12 was expected. I mean, on the road at Oklahoma State, at home against a second-ranked TCU and then Oklahoma, who’s now won six straight games in Manhattan since 1996? The first three games were signs of a doomed mission to begin with, but still (aside from Saturday’s biblical butt kicking)

Willie the Wildcat joins students that painted themselves with letters for the football game between K-State and Oklahoma University Saturday in Bill Snyder Family Stadium. K-State is just a few plays away from being 5-1 and most likely on the fringe of being a ranked team. Keep in mind, the Wildcats are doing all of this while looking like a complete M.A.S.H. unit in purple uniforms. The starting quarterback that you thought would be there at the start of the season gets hurt on the first play, and your arguably best defender has one of the most mysterious and strangest shoulder injuries in recent memory. This has also sped up the debuts of many young players and guys we figured that we might not see until next season. Head coach Bill Snyder
apologized to the students for Saturday’s affair, which is very commendable on his part, but how can you thank him and this team for their efforts in this very strange and trying season? By taking your butt to Bill Snyder Family Stadium and supporting a team that’s worth supporting. After Saturday, the line in the sand for this season has been drawn; either you are all in or you can get out now, your choice. So what’s it going to be? K-State sits at .500 and on the road in a possible mustwin game against the Texas Longhorns. A win here gets you a step closer to being eligible for

a bowl; a loss and you are under .500 with Baylor coming in. Either you can sit and judge this team for what they aren’t while you sit in the ICAT or GA, or you can get your butt in front of the TV and support this team as they battle their way through a season that has had some good moments and some bad ones, because things could be worse – you could be watching football 86 miles to the east, where there is no happiness around this time of the year.

Last weekend, the K-State women’s tennis team competed in the ITA Regional Championship at the Greenwood Tennis Center in Stillwater, Oklahoma. It was not a particularly successful showing for the Wildcats unfortunately, as no one made it past the round of 32. It looked all too promising as K-State sophomores Sara Castellano and Carolina Costamagna, as well as freshman Ana Garcia Navas, all advanced to the round of 32. This put the Wildcats in what looked to be good odds to see at least one of the three in the next round; however, it was not to be. Junior Iva Bago was ousted in the first round by Wichita State senior Aleksandra Trifunovic 3-6, 6-2, 6-2. Bago, however, would put in work in the consolation matches, winning three of her four matches. As for the others, things looked promising until they were blanked. Castellano started the tournament with a bang as she defeated Southern Illinois University Edwardsville freshman Mia Frogner 7-5, 6-1. Next match, she would once again prosper as she toppled Minnesota sophomore Mehvish Safdar 6-2, 6-3. Castellano finally would be eliminated by Kansas freshman Summer Collins 6-4, 7-6. Costamagna would also win her first two matches; first defeating UMKC sophomore Marina Albert 6-0, 6-0, then outmatching Arkansas junior Shannon Hudson 7-5, 2-6, 6-2. She would finally be knocked out by another Jayhawk, freshman Smith Hinton, who won 6-1, 6-3. Lastly, Garcia Navas would also win her first two. She gave Drake sophomore Summer Brills the boot by a score of 6-2, 6-1 then besting Missouri sophomore Brittany Lashway 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. She was finally be retired, though, by Tulsa freshman Ksenia Laskutova 6-2, 6-3. In doubles, the Wildcats once again could not advance past the round of 32. The duo of Garcia Navas and Bago defeated freshman Janelle Wilson and junior Kenzie Hill of University of Nebraska Omaha by a score of 8-1. Navas and Bago’s luck would soon run out as they were eliminated next round by Oklahoma State juniors Viktoriya Lushkova and Carla Tur Mari 8-3. Castellano and Costamagna would also win their first doubles match of the tournament then proceed to lose the second. The power team toppled UMKC sophomore Allie Schulte and junior Linda Ammar Mouhoub 8-4, but lost the next match against Midwestern State seniors Ema Turudija and Miranda Poile 8-4. The meet will start Friday at the Roger Knapp Tennis Center in Des Moines, Iowa for the Drake Jamboree.
