CARE office provides support, advocacy for students, staff KAITLYN ALANIS THE COLLEGIAN

wenty-seven reports of various types of interpersonal violence took place in 2015 on either campus property or in specific off-campus buildings that are either owned, leased or controlled by Kansas State, according to K-State’s 2016 Annual Campus Security and Fire Safety Report. These reports included sex offenses, domestic and dating violence, stalking, rape and fondling. To provide support for survivors of these crimes as well as advocate for and educate the community, the K-State Center for Advocacy, Response and Education (CARE) office works to assist victims of these types of violence on how to understand the university policies and procedures as well as how to succeed personally and academically, according to the CARE website. “We provide advocacy and education for the campus and community and so basically what that means is that we strive to provide advocacy for those who are survivors of interpersonal violence or gender-based violence,” Clara Kientz, advocate and educator of the CARE office, said. “With that goal, it most typically includes responding to forms of violence such as domestic violence, dating violence, sexual violence, stalking and sexual harassment.” Kientz said the CARE office also meets with family and friends of the survivors, as the office recognizes the effects of being close to someone who is a victim of interpersonal violence. Caitlin Carrington, coordinator of the CARE office, said their work does not stop at just helping the survivors. “Another portion of what we do is a lot of education and outreach with the campus and local community,” Carrington said. “We’re always doing presentations for student groups on things like consent, sexual violence, bystander intervention, healthy relationships and things like that because we have

Clara Kientz (left), VOCA advocate at the CARE Center, and Caitlin Carrington (right), coordinator at the CARE Center, pose in front of their office in Holton Hall. a heavy focus on supporting survivors but also trying to diminish the amount of violence that does take place.” Carrington said she and Kientz are always learning the best practices to do so that, by engaging with others in the field and attending workshops, it will allow them to keep up with the newest findings of how to best assist survivors of this type of violence. “The CARE office is here to be very survivor-centered and so we will attempt to support survivors in the best way that we can,” Carrington said. Kientz said while she realizes prevention is a big part of what they do, there are many people who are in need right now of the services the CARE office provides. “I want to be able to assist those individuals who may not

be aware of what to do or where to go and just be a support system for them,” Kientz said.

WHY THEY DO WHAT THEY DO

Emma Barnett, senior in political science and a student employee of the CARE office, said she feels the office is an important resource that K-State provides. “Options are a very important thing when someone has experienced violence because their autonomy has been taken away, so being able to give that autonomy back to students, faculty and staff and say, ‘You get to decide what your options are’ and ‘You get to decide what you do next’ is important,” Barnett said. “It’s awesome to be able to see survivors be able to heal through the services that the CARE office provides.”

For Carrington, she said she worries interpersonal violence may become normalized. “I feel people are becoming unaffected by the statistics and it’s sort of becoming like that’s just what happens in our culture —woman are assaulted and brutalized,” Carrington said. “I want to take a proactive part in working to both fight that and help the people that are victims of this because I don’t want it to become a thing that we’re desensitized to. I want people to keep being upset and shocked by (the statistics), rather than it just becoming mainstream.”

THE MISCONCEPTIONS

Carrington said she wishes more people knew the CARE office can provide support for all students, faculty and staff. “Even though the majority

of people that we see do identify as female, we are here for everyone and we can be helpful for any person,” Carrington said. “I wish people knew we were a larger entity than just helping sexual assault victims and us just saying ‘here are your options.’” Kientz said there is a misconception across campus that CARE only serves individuals who experience sexual violence or sexual assault. “We serve anyone who has experienced any kind of interpersonal violence or gender-based violence,” Kientz said. “We also serve faculty and staff in addition to students. Our office is a safe space and our goal is to empower survivors so that they can make decisions on what they feel is most comfortable.” Kientz said the CARE office is not required to report any of the information a survivor tells them, but that there are limitations to confidentiality. “We always let individuals who come into our office know what (their) confidentiality limitations might be before we get into any further conversations with them,” Kientz said. The office is located in 206 Holton Hall and is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., according to their website.

Army public affairs unit works on community relations DANIELLE COOK THE COLLEGIAN

or members of The 19th Public Affairs Detachment, soldiers in the 1st Infantry Division make the best focal points for photos and the most gripping story subjects. The 19th PAD is a unit made up of seven soldiers that handle public affairs communications. “Our soldiers are the people that tell the story of the Army, tell the story of the 1st Infantry Division, through articles, photography, video,” Capt. Edward Alvarado, the commander of the 19th PAD, said. “We highlight what our soldiers do.” Alvarado entered the field of public affairs with a background in photography, snapping photos in his days as a platoon leader during training events for the purpose of highlighting the group’s success for those higher in command. Through the 19th PAD, Alvarado said he and his fellows are able to share the accomplishments of soldiers in the 1st Infantry Division with a broader audience. “This is an opportunity to do that at a bigger stage for all the veterans and the people that are currently serving the 1st Infantry Division,” Alvarado said. “The audience is greater and we still get to provide good content so everybody can be proud of what the soldiers are doing.” According to Staff Sgt. Jerry Griffis, 19th PAD non-commissioned officer in charge, members

of the unit also work to exhibit and highlight the Army’s partnerships with other organizations from the community, such as Kansas State, by covering partnership events. This is a large part of the unit’s role in communicating public affairs, Griffis said. “For instance, the K-State Military Appreciation Day, we’ll be all over that, as far as showing that partnership and showing why that partnership is beneficial to both the local community and the Army,” Griffis said. Members of this unit are not necessarily public relations writers or regular news journalists, Griffis said. “We work kind of the same way that journalists do, as far as journalistic integrity, making sure facts are straight and things like that,” Griffis said. However, according to Sgt. Dana Moen, 19th PAD print journalist, a lot of the content produced by the detache soldiers, such as photos and videos, ends up in “The 1st Infantry Division Post.” The 19th PAD even covers partnership events that happen overseas, Moen said. “When I was deployed last year, we would cover the training events and events with the regional partners that we were working with over there,” Moen said. “It’s good to let people know what we’re doing because it seems like a lot of that [what happens overseas] doesn’t go anywhere — and there are reasons for that — but there’s a lot that goes on that’s pretty much just training, but it’s still interesting because it’s with

people from other countries, other militaries and there are a lot of good stories about those interactions that we get the chance to tell.” Being a part of the 19th PAD

allows the soldiers to experience things differently than civilian journalists, or even differently than other soldiers do, Griffis said. “The best part of this job is

traveling around, even though some of that is being deployed, but going to these different places that maybe you wouldn’t get an opportunity to go to otherwise is cool,” Griffis said. “A lot of

journalists in the civilian world have to fight to go to places like Afghanistan and Iraq, but I get to go for free.” Alvarado and Moen recalled a time when Arnold Schwarzenegger visited Kuwait while filming a renewable energy sources documentary for National Geographic. Moen said he had the opportunity to photograph Schwarzenegger for the 19th PAD. “Just being able to see him and how he interacted with the soldiers was pretty cool,” Alvarado said. “I probably never would’ve gotten to see that had I not been in public affairs; it’s unpredictable. Not every day is the same and when people see that you’re providing good products for them, they tend to ask for you more. It can be just simple video or photos, but people see value in what we do, so when you do it right, that’s rewarding in itself.” According to Alvarado, the work of soldiers in the 19th PAD is important not only to the Army, but also to other members of the community. “There’s a sense of transparency,” Alvarado said. “The American public deserves the right to know what we are doing and that’s basically what we’re here for.”

Marshall seeks to fix issues in 1st District KAITLYN ALANIS THE COLLEGIAN

A lifetime Kansan, Kansas State alum, former bartender of Kite’s in Aggieville and a current ob-gyn is running to represent the 1st District of Kansas in the U.S. House of Representatives. Roger Marshall said he has delivered around 5,000 babies, bleeds purple and is anything but a traditional politician. “I’m not a politician,” Marshall said. “I’ve never ran for anything my entire life. I’m a physician, a dad, but not a politician.” Faith, family, community and education, Marshall said, are the four pillars of his life, and he puts a special emphasis on education, especially at university level. “I just can’t tell you how important that I think a quality, affordable education is,” Marshall said. “I’m a first generation college person, the first person from my family to go college and grad-

uate and I’ve never taken that for granted. I’m very much in favor of strong public education and strong state universities.”

THREE PRIMARY FIXES

Marshall said he decided to run to represent the 1st District of Kansas after having a conversation with his wife two years ago. “The conversation went something like, ‘we’re not leaving this country better than we found it,’” Marshall said. “And I’ve been given a lot of unique experiences in life from medicine to military, a large agriculture experience as well, and she said, ‘You like to fix things, so it’s time for you to go to Washington, D.C., and fix things.’” Marshall said there are three issues that not just him, but also the majority of citizens — including college students — should be most concerned about and that is what he would like to fix. “The most important issues that Americans and Kansans

think (are important) are what I really think are the issues that are important to college students,” Marshall said. “The biggest issue people are concerned about is the economy. Number two is national security. And No. 3 is health care.” Two of Marshall’s kids have graduated from college and Marshall said they have never seen a good economy. “They have no idea what a good economy even is,” Marshall said. “If you’re in college right now, the ultimate goal is to get a good job. Without a good economy that isn’t going to happen. So number one, I want to make this economy stronger.” As for national security, Marshall said he thinks the country needs a stronger military. “I believe in peace through strength,” Marshall said. “I think we need a stronger military to protect your future and your future children’s future so national security is very important.”

The third issue Marshall said he hopes to fix is health care, as it is the third-largest concern of the country. “Whatever occupation we end up at, one-sixth of the budget of that business is going towards health care,” Marshall said. “Prices are going up 20-30 percent a year now. The Affordable Care Act is absolutely broken and we need to fix that somehow.”

ONE PRIMARY DIFFERENCE

Marshall said there is one big difference when it comes to policy between him and Alan LaPolice, his opponent, and that is agricultural policy. “Sixty percent of this district that I would represent is driven by agriculture,” Marshall said. “I’m in favor of a strong crop insurance policy and he is not. I’m in favor of free trade and he is not. Both of those are the backbone of making a stronger agriculture economy.”

Wildcats defeated in five sets by Kansas AVERY OSEN

THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State volleyball team went to the brink with the Kansas Jayhawks, but fell in five sets on Wednesday night inside Ahearn Field House. The Wildcats are now 17-7 overall and 6-5 in Big 12 play while Kansas improves to 21-2 and 10-1 in conference play. KU and K-State each had a single service ace, which brought the home

team a hitting percentage of .182 in the loss. The first set was dominated by Kansas as they won it 25-18, but the Wildcats responded in the second. It was a back-and-forth set and both teams had numerous set points, but it was K-State who took it 28-26. The Jayhawks were led in the first three sets by senior right side hitter Kelsie Payne who had 19 kills as Kansas won the third set 25-22. This forced the Wildcats to win the fourth set, 25-21, and leading to a fifth set.

Big 12 defensive power rankings: Week 10 ble-digit tackle days for defensive backs are hard to find, so if Reed can keep his aggressive play up, the Wildcat defense becomes that much more scary.

6. AIAVION EDWARDS, SENIOR LB, BAYLOR Edwards paced the Baylor defense against the Longhorns with 13 tackles. He also picked up one of the three Bear sacks on the day. Edwards comes in fourth in the conference with 57 stops.

7. VINCENT TAYLOR, JUNIOR DT, OKLAHOMA STATE
