ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Wednesday to celebrate the opening of a recently completed Unmanned Aircraft Systems Pavilion at K-State Polytechnic. The recently completed UAS Pavilion will allow staff and students to participate in research endeavors and flight training activities that can now occur within walking distance of the UAS Laboratory, located just adjacent to the Pavilion. According to Trevor Witt, junior in aeronautical technology and president of UAS Club, students working with UAS technology had to travel to a site 15 minutes away from the Polytechnic campus to complete flight training activities and conduct test flights. “The biggest thing is that convenience for flight operation, whereas typically, in the past, we had to have a whole list to remember everything that we needed to bring with us, just boxes and boxes of things to go out on one mission,” Witt said. Julee Cobb, K-State Polytechnic communications coordinator, said the convenience of a next-door flight training facility will contribute to the efficiency of UAS student training and research, as it will eliminate travel time from the learning equation. “This pavilion is right in our backyard. They can walk out the door and continue their learning,” Cobb said. The pavilion includes 25

Three new ordinances were approved at the City Commission meeting Tuesday. The three laws, 7168-7170 will go into effect on Sunday. Ordinance 7168 approves the continuation of levying business improvement service fees for the Aggieville Business Improvement District for 2016. The second law approved, ordinance 7169, approved a similar service fee for businesses in the Downtown Business Improvement District. Ordinance 7170 amended a current plan for development of the city of Manhattan. The amendment included the Hartford Hill Master Plan. The amendment calls for guidance in developing city sites with issues such as drainage and utility services, land use and access.

K-State Polytechnic and Westar Energy have collaborated on a new outdoor flight facility for unmanned aircraft systems education, training and research. wooden poles, donated and installed by Westar, with golfrange netting walls and top cover. It is 300 feet long, 200 feet wide and 50 feet tall, according to Cobb. “Because it’s not fourwalled, the netting allows outdoor elements,” Cobb said. “It allows sun, wind, heat, snow and they can deal with these elements here on campus and conduct flight missions in various weather conditions.” Westar Energy assisted with getting the pavilion constructed.
According to Yvonne Etzel, Westar Energy spokeswoman, the pavilion will help the region. “Utilizing this UAS technology not only benefits Westar and K-State, but the entire state of Kansas,” Etzel said. “We really believe that UAS technology is moving Kansas forward.” Carraway said that research conducted using the new pavilion will allow the UAS program to reach out and benefit the state technologically, alongside Westar, which does so by providing state residents with energy.
“It’s going to enable us to streamline some research projects,” Carraway said. “We’re hoping that this is going to be an indication of Westar’s involvement in UAS activities for some of their own applications, as well.” Carraway said one of the best aspects of the new pavilion is that it will improve the way students are able to learn about UAS. “Everything will just be a lot more efficient since we’re able to do it right here,” Carraway said.
Q-and-A with K-State Equestrian’s Danielle Kemper WHAT’S BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR CAREER AT K-STATE?
LIZ HEATH the collegian
It would be my freshman year, when we were reserve at nationals for the Western team and reserves at Big 12. That was just really cool. It was just crazy to feel all that energy in everything from everyone.
The Collegian caught up with senior Danielle Kemper during practice as the K-State Equestrian team prepares to take on No. 3 Baylor at home on Oct. 30.
WHAT WAS IT THAT REALLY SOLD YOU ON COMING TO K-STATE?
WHEN DID YOU FIRST BECOME INTERESTED IN HORSES?
I was 6 years old when I got my first horse. My mom and I both got a horse, and that was just it. I took off from there.
I really liked the team atmosphere when I came and visited. They were all super friendly and really welcoming. It was almost like I was already on the team when I had my visit. Comparing campuses, I really liked the closeness of campus to everything. I didn’t have to travel far to get from class to class.

These missile sites— under construction but nearing completion—housed medium-range missiles capable of striking a number of major cities in the United States, including Washington, D.C. During the next six days, the crisis escalated to a breaking point as the world tottered on the brink of nuclear war between the two superpowers in what is now known as the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Trading bikinis for boots, suntan oil for moisturizer As summer turns into fall and winter is in the not so distant future, skin care routines become more important. MORGAN BELL the collegian
A
As people trade in bikinis and shorts for boots and leggings, they are embracing new routines for the changing seasons. The days of worrying about sweaty, oily skin, sun damage and tanning oil are on hold, but with winter approaching, there are other skin care issues to consider and routines to start. During the coming cold months, dry skin can be a problem for students who walk to and from classes. Sydney Kroenke, senior in marketing and management, said she alters her skin care routine to include more moisturizer and more ChapStick. “Normally I don’t put (moisturizer) on at night because it gets greasy, but when my skin gets really dry, I do use it at night,” Kroenke said. Everyone’s skin is different, and therefore their routines must be too. Brenda Horton, co-owner of Merle Norman Salon and Spa, said “the key to younger-looking skin” is ex-

As weather starts to decrease in temperature, it’s important for students to keep a healthy skin care routine to avoid having dry skin become problematic. foliation and year-round sunscreen use. She also said that drinking plenty of water and maintaining a healthy diet is important for skin health, and adding oranges and lemons to drinking water can supply the skin with much needed vitamin C. “A lot of people forget that the skin is the largest organ, so a lot of people take care of, eating-wise, their body from the inside and they kind of forget to take care of the outside sometimes,” Horton said.
“Your skin absolutely loves vitamin C.” Healthy skin will have an even color and a smooth texture, is well-hydrated and has normal sensations, meaning it does not burn, itch or sting, according to dermatology expert Heather Brannon’s article “What’s the Difference Between Healthy and Unhealthy Skin?” The three steps of proper skin care are to cleanse, tone and moisturize. Horton said everyone should follow these steps because not only
can unhealthy skin can affect your appearance, but it can also affect overall health. “Everyone is worried about their appearance,” Horton said. “(But) unhealthy skin means unhealthy all in general … you only get one skin in your lifetime, so you want to take care of it.” In the Bustle article, “7 Fall Skin Care Tips You Should Start Utilizing Even Before The Summer’s Over,” fashion and beauty writer, Kelly Dougher, recommend-
ed adjusting for different seasons by investing in a richer night cream, using a heavier daily moisturizer with sun protection factor, stocking up on body lotion and lip balm, switching to hydrating masks and cleansers, buying a silk pillowcase and paying attention to hands and nails. “Baby your skin this winter with a silk pillowcase and it will thank you with less redness, dryness and breaking out,” Dougher said in her article. Tyler Bastian, senior in biology, said he immediately puts lotion on after a shower, and at the end of the day he washes his face, uses a Noxzema pad, applies a small amount of lotion if his skin is dry, and then dabs acne medication on after; however, he said he modifies this routine for different seasons. “I do change the routine if it’s dry or winter to include more moisturizer so my skin doesn’t dry out and crack,” Bastian said. “I will still wash my face every night and apply lotion and let it dry before I lay my head down. And I always make sure my hair product is minimal before bed so I’m not rolling my face around in product on my pillow.” For flaky, chapped lips, a gentle lip exfoliant can remove dead skin cells, according to the Paula’sChoice “Expert Advice” column titled “What to do when climate change affects your skin.” After exfoliating, a moisturizing lip balm should be used for “super smooth lips.” Though winter may cause tanned skin to fade, it doesn’t mean skin health has to diminish also. “The sooner you take care of the skin, the less you’ll have to dolater on in life when you get older,” Horton said.

Formula of a horror film: suspense, relevance, fiction ELASSIA CUNNINHAMYOUNGER the collegian
When the calendar reaches October, horror films appear more frequently on television screens and in theaters, but what makes a horror movie enjoyable? Richard Harris, professor of psychological sciences, said people want to feel emotionally moved by things like horror films because they can experience dangerous situations without actually going through them. “Part of that is an extension to say ‘we like suspenseful movies,’” Harris said. “Sometimes it feels good to be emotionally aroused, to be hyped up. We can experience somebody’s danger by watching a movie, for example, without being in danger ourselves. We wouldn’t necessarily get (that enjoyment) if it was happening to us; we’d be terrified and it wouldn’t be fun at all.” According to the Filmmaker IQ article “The Psychology of Scary Movies,” there are three primary factors — tension, relevance and unrealism — that make horror films alluring to the audience. Audiences want to see the type of horror movies that contain high levels of suspense, are relevant to the audience, yet keep the element of fabrication. People who are “sensation

Horror-themed venues and other types of gothic environments like the local Sunset Cemetary of Manhattan have tradionally been known to trigger feelings of fear and panic in individuals during the Halloween season. seeking” enjoy feeling the adrenaline rush of horror movies, according to the article. “People who are high in sensation seeking tend to like to sort of push to the edge a little more and experience the danger a little vicariously,” Harris said. Yet some people do not care to feel the adrenaline that comes
from watching horror films. According to Harris, people with high empathy are less likely to enjoy horror films. “People differ from each other in terms of personality,” Harris said. “Some people are very high in empathy, which means they really emotionally identify with other people and they feel what they’re
feeling, and so on. People with high empathy don’t particularly care for horror movies as much because they sort of hurt with the victim and identify with the victim.” While some people enjoy feeling the fear and other people do not, there is a third set of people who react differently to things intended to scare them.
Benaiah Gorman, freshman in personal finance, said he expects to be frightened when watching a horror film and generally reacts accordingly to horrifying scenes in films. “I think that culturally, scary movies are things that people are supposed to be scared at; you come in ready to be scared,” Gorman said. “I react very outwardly, so I always freak out in my chair.” Filmmakers use some common elements in scary movies to stir up an emotional response from the audience, according to Harris. “There are conventions you can use in producing film,” Harris said. “People who (make horror films) know how to get people scared. There’s kind of scary music, there are images of people scared on the screen and you pick up on that emotional contagion or scare yourself, so they know how to manipulate our feelings in that kind of way and get people scared.” Some people, however, are just immune to scary movies. Donovan Michael, freshman in biology, said horror films have no effect on him because he can look past what is on the screen. “Most of the time (I’m not afraid) because I’ve always known it’s not real,” Michael said. “Even if I try to think of it as real, I’m just like, ‘it’s a movie, I can’t get scared of it.’”
Slightly Sarcastic Zodiac Compatibility with Madam LoCoco: Pisces
Two parts dreamy intellectual and three parts fussy neurotic, Pisces is a quandary for the ages. Between keeping your head in the clouds, the bottle of liquor firmly affixed to your mouth and your intellectual lessers firmly in their place (far beneath you), it’s a wonder you have any time at all for romance…and perhaps you don’t. But if you ever decide to stop putting off dealing with your Gordian knot of commitment phobia, here’s where the fish might first wish to look… or not.
prepared with an emotional and intellectual laundry list of rationale for making up your mind in this way. Gemini are “shoot first and explain away the consequences later” types, and their propensity to leap before they look and draw priori conclusions about damn near everything is not only completely foreign to how you operate, but with long enough exposure, will cause you to eyeroll yourself into a stroke. This is one pair who would be best advised to limit their interactions to short tête-à-têtes after whatever social issues action group you most likely both frequent, where you will be free to extricate yourself from the mire once your limited reserves of patience have been exhausted. Just wait for Gemini to pause for breath (it takes awhile, I know), and give them the slip. You’ll thank yourself later. Overall: a 2/5 star match. Your theme song should probably be: “Parked Outside” by The Afghan Whigs
WORST: PISCES + GEMINI
BETTER: PISCES + VIRGO
IRIS LOCOCO the collegian
Though you will initially bond over a shared love of running your mouth until your lips become numb, the eventual result of this pairing will be a team of physicists being dispatched to examine the resultant crater this explosive matter-antimatter interaction will cause. As a Pisces, you occupy a liminal space somewhere between reality and somewhere else. You like to be free to make your own decisions, even if that means running off the beaten path and forging your own way through the unknown. Meanwhile, Gemini will be standing at the crossroads with a map, attempting to drag your flighty ass down The Right Path, map thoroughly outlined, with the One True Direction labeled in red. Thankfully, Geminis like to make lots of pitstops to vacillate about whether or not the choice to take that direction was actually correct, giving you ample opportunities to plan your slippery escape while they agitate themselves into a dithering uncertain mess. On the rare occasion you actually bother to take decisive action on something, you can be sure that you’ve thoroughly thought it through and are
The fate of this match hinges on Virgo’s ability to adapt to Pisces’ needs. Your introspective natures and shared love of all that is complex and intellectual will initially bring you together, but Virgo’s prickly aversion to emotional involvement could drive a gentler Pisces away. Virgo loves to analyze everything around them with a cold, clinical detachment, while Pisces prefer to throw themselves into the thick of a quandary to figure out how things work from the inside. Functionally, this means that Pisces can easily burn themselves out emotionally, and they frequently need to retreat into fantasy and escapism to recharge their batteries before going forward; however, Virgos are go-go-go people whose distant detachment from the world around them means they are almost never so involved in a situation that they need to take the kinds of mental vacations that Pisces do on a regular basis just to remain functional. A Virgo’s browbeating advice to a struggling Pisces would likely be along the lines of, “Why can’t you just take a step back and not get so involved?” while not understanding that for a Pisces, “not getting in-
volved” is so difficult it is nearly physically painful. If Virgo can’t learn to slacken the chain they use to keep their emotional side bound and gagged, Pisces will become frustrated and seek out other partners who can understand them on their own level. Pisces needs to learn to gird their loins and stop taking everything so personally, and (as painful as it is for them) realize that Virgo’s pedantically obnoxious “advice” comes from a place of deeply-hidden caring and concern for their wellbeing. Grab a drink together at your favorite local pub, go catch a sci-fi flick at the late night drive-in, and keep an open mind. If you can both learn to be just a little bit adaptable and less single-mindedly dedicated to the surety of your own rightness (stop rolling your eyes, Madam LoCoco knows you are), there is actually a non-zero chance that this whole messy debacle won’t end up on an episode of the Maury show. Overall: A 3/5 star match Your theme song should probably be: “Chasing Rainbows” by Shed Seven
BEST: PISCES + SCORPIO
A cursory glance at this couple might leave some people scratching their heads, but once you stop to examine them both more closely you’ll find yourself thinking, “Ah, right. That makes a lot of sense, actually.” Pisces and Scorpio understand each other’s quirks and neuroses (of which there are many) on a high-instinctive level, and you each have strengths where the other is weak. The more aggressive and confident Scorpio can help finicky Pisces wrench the stick out of their ass that they’ve been using as a makeshift backbone, and reserved Pisces knows just how to talk Scorpio down from beating people to death with it. Not that Pisces lacks teeth — after all, barracudas are fish, too. Scorpio will both understand and appreciate Pisces’ love of argument-as-sport, and nothing will get a Scorpio’s engine revving like watching their Pisces companion calmly and succinctly shred their opponent in a debate. This pair has the capacity to be an intellectual powerhouse that will make all of their friends groan when they take them for all they’re

worth at trivia night yet again, but you are both also very adept at caring for the other’s emotional wellbeing. Pisces’ strength here lies in knowing when it is time to back off and leave Scorpio to their own reclusive devices, and as self-assured and ambitious as Scorpios are in other areas of their lives, they not only respect but admire Pisces’ ability to give the one-fingered salute to everyone else’s expectations and forge their own way when they don’t feel like the prevailing
norms make sense. Pisces deeply admires Scorpio’s determination and dogged practicality (even though you both have a vain streak a mile wide and the designer shoe collections to match), but also know how to coax Scorpio out of their tough-guy shells and help them express their more creative emotional side, usually kept under lock and key behind a battalion of armed guards. Even if you decide that romance just isn’t for you (you
slippery little fish, you) a truly well-adjusted Scorpio companion will roll with the punches, and if you play your cards right, you’ll have a best friend and confidante for life. Overall: A 5/5 star match. Your theme song should probably be: “Mystify” by INXS Iris LoCoco is a senior in art history. Please send all comments to current@ kstatecollegian.com.

Errors doom Wildcats in straight set loss
Rodney Dimick | THE COLLEGIAN
Junior outside hitter Brooke Sassin prepares to launch the ball back toward Texas Wednesday in Bramlage Coliseum. Sassin brought in a total of seven kills during the game.
T
he K-State volleyball team lost 3-0 against the No. 2 ranked Texas Longhorns Wednesday night inside Bramlage Coliseum. K-State had 23 errors and only 32 kills in the match with Brooke Sassin leading the way with seven. “I thought we played extremely well in some phases,” head coach Suzie Fritz said. “We blocked really well, we were on task defensively and dug quite well. It came down to unforced errors and we were uncharacteristically high-error from an attacking and service perspective. That’s not our identity and we have to play ‘clean’ as we call it.” The Longhorns move to 17-1 on the season and have only dropped one set in seven Big 12 games this season. “I think they are a good and very talented team,” Fritz said. “They have a lot of tools and they dug a lot of balls tonight. It was difficult to find kills against them and it would’ve helped if we hit more in. That would’ve given us more opportunities for sure.” One positive aspect for the Wildcats was redshirt freshman Sami Flattum, who sparked the offense with three kills and had a .429 hitting percentage. “She played well and did a very good job for us tonight,” Fritz said. “She was one of the bright spots for our team.” As a team, K-State hit .073 percent and didn’t hit over .150 in any set. “There were a bunch of things we could have done differently to not lose 3-0,” Fritz said. “We had opportunities to win points and games that we didn’t take advantage of. No matter who is on the other side of the net, we have to play better, period.” At the end of the day, Fritz said the team must play cleaner and have less unforced errors. “I think we did a lot of things well tonight, and we’re pretty good defensively even from the start,” Fritz said. “I don’t think we capitalized on the opportunities we got when we did, and we’ve got to take more productive swings.” The Wildcats are now 11-8 overall and 3-4 in Big 12 play. Next up, K-State will travel to Lubbock, Texas to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders at 3 p.m. Saturday inside the United Supermarkets Arena.

KANSAS COUNTY COMMISSIONER REJECTS INTERVIEW WITH BILINGUAL REPORTER
A county commissioner al-
legedly defamed a reporter of a regional television station by calling her an “advocate for people living in the country illegally,” according to the Associated Press. Richard Ranzau, Sedgwick County Commission chairman, reportedly refused to answer questions during an interview from Beatriz Parres, bilingual reporter for KWCH and KDCU. According to an Oct. 21 Associated Press article, Ranzau said he thinks the reporter advocates for people living in the U.S. illegally; however, he agreed to talk to another reporter from KWCH. Ranzau said to AP that he will speak to legitimate reporters about news but not someone posing as a journalist. Brian Gregory, KWCH news director, denied Parres’s involvement in advocacy groups, but said rather she is a journalist who covers many advocacy group events, according to AP. “It’s unfortunate that an elected public official would make such baseless comments about a journalist,” Gregory said to AP. “I am disappointed that Commissioner Ranzau has chosen to defame one of our employees.”
