Many campus resources available to student veterans VANESSA PETERSON THE COLLEGIAN

Veterans Day is an official U.S. public holiday observed annually on Nov. 11, a day to honor individuals who served in the United States Armed Forces. As people across the nation spend today honoring veterans, student veterans at Kansas State may be facing different challenges than traditional students. K-State, with a campus about 15 miles from the U.S. Army’s Fort Riley, is known by many to be a military-friendly college campus with a variety of resources for student veterans. K-State’s Non-Traditional and Veteran Student Services is one of those resources, and is intended to serve those who once served the country. Christina Henning, graduate research assistant in the Non-Traditional and Veteran Student Services office, said the office’s job, “is to help veterans find the resources they need.” “We want to be a centralized location for every veteran to come to us and find out what services are available to them,” Henning said. “We can work with their professors, we can work with other departments at K-State. In the past we have even proctored exams for students that may have PTSD and don’t want to be in a large classroom setting.” The office provides a variety of other services, including scholarship assistance,

workshops, study materials, free printing, referrals for child care services, tutoring and assistance with military benefits. The office also connects veterans with other services on campus, such as the Office of Veterans Affairs, which assists veterans and service members during the application process while applying for benefits and troubleshooting issues that may arise between a student’s benefit and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The Office of Veterans Affairs also serves as a resource for ROTC students. Brian Iverson, sophomore in economics, is a ROTC student at K-State. “I have never used the office, but it is nice knowing they are always there if I do need help with something,” Iverson said. “I have friends that have used the Office of Veterans Affairs, and I know it has helped them tremendously.” Randy Vanderpool, freshman in computer science, is a veteran. He said he decided to study at K-State after he fell in love with Kansas while stationed at Fort Riley. “I utilize the Veterans office in the Student Union a lot,” Vanderpool said. “When I first came to visit K-State, I was immediately set up with a ton of resources, and they were extremely welcoming and friendly.” The people who work at the office recognize that transitioning from active duty to

a college campus can be difficult, and they are there to bridge the gap and be a friend when needed. The office also assists students with finding grants and scholarships that are specific to veterans. “There are scholarships through K-State, and our director, Joshua Reed, also works with organizations in the community to get scholarships,” Henning said. “We just gave about $10,000 worth of scholarships away this semester for veterans.” Vanderpool has received scholarship assistance through the office, but he said he has also found some of his greatest help through fellow veterans. “I have met a lot of friends that have done all this before, so they have also been a lot of help with scholarships and grants, and really anything school-related,” he said. The Veteran Student Services provides veterans opportunities to network with one another and build a community. The office doubles as a lounge area, which provides a space for veterans to build that community with one another. “We have different get-togethers, barbecues, tailgates and stuff,” Vanderpool said. “It’s kind of like a big family, and it’s nice knowing we can all count on each other.” The Veterans Center is located on the second floor of the K-State Student Union.

Veteran Sgt. Smith reflects on her 3 tours in Iraq JULIA HOOD

THE COLLEGIAN

Veterans Day for retired Sgt. Jennifer Smith is not just any day, but one where she can look back on the 13.5 years she spent serving as a medic in the Army and also remember her time spent on the frontlines in Iraq. “I think that what defines me as a veteran is the fact that I stood up and said, ‘I’m gonna serve my country,’” Smith said.

SERVING HER COUNTRY

Smith knew she could not afford college on her own, so she joined the National Guard in 1999 when she was 17. Several years after joining the National Guard, she decided to go active duty. During her six years of active duty, Smith was deployed three times to Iraq and then finished her time in the Army Reserves. Smith said her first deployment was in April 2003, shortly after her 21st birthday. She was deployed from her station in Germany to Northern Iraq for about six months. She returned to her station in February 2004, to find out that four and a half months later, she would be deployed again to Central Iraq for 12 months. “I think the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do was call my mom a week after I came back from war to tell her I was going back again in four months,” Smith said. “That was a conversation I wasn’t looking forward to.” She got back from her second deployment in February 2005 and finished out her time in Germany. In the summer of 2005, she came back to the U.S. Her final, and longest deployment, lasting 14.5 months, was again to Central Iraq from spring of 2007 until June 2008. Smith said she met her husband overseas while he was also a medic, and together they worked with retired Staff Sgt. David Bellavia of Company A, Task Force 2-2, 1st Infantry Division, who received the Silver Star for his actions during the Battle of Fallujah. The Battle of Fallujah took place around this time in November 2004, making this week its 12-

Bellavia described what it was like that day. “We lost a guy, our commander,” Bellavia said. “It was tough. We exchanged fire and lit up a neighborhood, where many enemies were dead and many injured. When we came back to refuel and rearm ourselves, we saw our medics giving aid to the enemy.” That moment shows you the type of person, medic, soldier and warrior Smith was and is, Bellavia said. “She did her job, even though the guy she was treating may have killed someone she cared for,” Bellavia said. Smith said what she enjoyed about being a medic was the satisfaction of knowing she was doing good and helping someone. “The number of people I helped depended,” Smith said. “Not deployed it’s usually a lot of physical injuries like strains, sprains, occasional twisted ankles, cough and cold, that kind of thing and deployed it was completely separate types of injuries.” Smith said she didn’t retire from the Army, but rather got out with an honorable discharge,

called an Expiration Term of Service. “I fulfilled my obligation, my contractual obligations, so I just got out,” Smith said.

PRESENT DAY

Now, Smith is a senior studying microbiology at Kansas State. “I’ve always loved science and been in the health and medical field so it was kind of a natural transition from military medicine into civilian medicine and science,” Smith said. “I would really like to become a pathology assistant. I’m hoping my experience in the Army gives me a really good advantage.” Smith said she is very proud to be a veteran. “I’m very thankful that I was able to deploy three times and experience the best and the worst of humanity,” Smith said. “I grew up faster than I wanted to, but you look at life in a different way. You’re definitely more appreciative of just the ability to wake up and have a cup of coffee in peace and be able to talk to whoever you want, do what you want and know that somebody out there is literally dying for your freedom to do that.” Smith said there’s an excellent community of veterans at K-State. She is the treasurer of the Veterans Student Organization and will be running for vice

president next year. Justin Manford, senior in economics, started the organization and served five years in the Marine Corps. He said Smith was one of the first people he met on campus whom he didn’t know personally before he arrived at K-State. “Jen’s kind of our residence bad ass,” Manford said. “When I got here, I met her and a few other people who are gone now and they helped me through a lot of personal tough times. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t still be here.” Bellavia said Smith is the type of legacy we want to have. “Those acts of humility, grace on the battlefield, that is what our generation represents,” Bellavia said. “That is the type of legacy we want to have. She represents the good in us, even though she had the same emotion that we did, she was professional enough to do her duty.” Smith said she is very fortunate to have this kind of support network. “I know when I first came to

K-State, there wasn’t a real connection with a lot of veterans and I think our voice is being heard more and more,” Smith said. “People are seeing us as a force to be reckoned with, that we’re here to stay and we have a lot to contribute to K-State and the general population in general.”

VETERANS DAY

Smith said that a lot of times, Veterans Day gets a negative connotation. “People just aren’t exposed to it so they’re not sure of all what a veteran is, so it’s nice to see the diversity, especially being a female that was in the military and coming back as a student,” she said. Smith said each time she came home from deployment, it was like Veterans Day because everyone was thankful and appreciative that they made it home safely. “I think now, more than ever, it’s more important to me,” Smith said. “Growing up I didn’t really understand Veterans Day. Mostly because, you know, unless you

grew up in a heavy military family, you appreciate veterans but you don’t understand the complexity and everything they’ve gone through to make your world what it is today.” Smith said she thinks people are starting to appreciate that sacrifice more, especially since they have been in Iraq and Afghanistan for a very long time. “Being close to Fort Riley and military bases in general, I feel people are more accepting and appreciative of veterans because they see it more frequently,” Smith said. Manford said Veterans Day is meant to celebrate the lives of veterans and their accomplishments. “Everyone on Veterans Day is always like, ‘I’m sorry for your loss,’” Manford said. “No, that’s Memorial Day. For veterans, every day is Memorial Day. But this is the one day of the year you should celebrate their life. You should celebrate the veterans who came home and celebrate their accomplishments.”

SCOTT POPP

THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State men’s basketball team kicks off the season tonight against Western Illinois. In honor of the new season beginning, we take a look at who left, who’s back and who’s new. And we even make some predictions.

WHO’S GONE

The Wildcats were a mixed bag last year. At times they played great, like when they upset No. 1 Oklahoma in Bramlage Coliseum, and at times they played horribly, like when they lost to Oklahoma State in overtime in Stillwater, Oklahoma. They only won two road games all season, finished eighth in the Big 12 and ended their season in a blowout loss to Kansas in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament. Statistically, the Wildcats lost their best player in Justin Edwards. Edwards led the team in points, rebounds and steals last year. The Cats also lost big man Stephen Hurt and Brian Rohleder as well as then-freshman reserve Ron Freeman.

WHO’S BACK

The Wildcats return a nucleus of talent. Seniors Wesley Iwundu and D.J. Johnson will be relied on to lead this team, which they are more than capable of doing. Iwundu did it all for the Cats last year and has worked on his shot this summer in hopes of being a more complete player. Johnson came on strong in the last month or two last season; he scored in double figures in eight of the last 12 games. Iwundu and Johnson will have plenty of help around them. Head coach Bruce Weber said senior Carlbe Ervin II has been one of the most improved players on the team. Sophomores Dean Wade and Barry Brown, who were Big 12 All-Newcomer Team members last year, return as well. And sophomore Kamau Stokes will be back from an injury that sidelined him for the latter part

WHO’S NEW

The Wildcats have a bunch of new faces on this season’s team, including four true freshmen and two redshirt freshmen on scholarship. The true freshmen bunch is headlined by forward Xavier Sneed. Sneed was the Wildcats’ top recruit, according to Rivals, and he played well during the Cats’ trip to Italy and in their first two exhibition games. On the other hand, both Cartier Diarra and James Love III will be unavailable for the Cats due to injuries. Diarra’s return for the second half of the season hasn’t been ruled out, but Love III will be sidelined for the whole year and will be

redshirted. How the two redshirt freshmen perform will be huge, in both size and importance. Six-foot-10-inch forward Isaiah Maurice and 7-foot forward Dante Williams will bring a much needed inside presence on the defensive end.

2016-17 SCHEDULE WITH PREDICTIONS FOR EACH GAME

Feb. 15 vs. Iowa State — L Feb. 18 at Texas — L Feb. 22 vs. Oklahoma State —W Feb. 25 at Oklahoma — L March 1 at TCU — W March 4 vs. Texas Tech — W

NONCONFERENCE

This is a tough K-State season to predict. The Wildcats return a talented core from a year ago, but most of those players are young and still don’t have experience winning games. The schedule starts fast with six games in 16 days but it doesn’t pose any real threats until the Wildcats head to Brooklyn, New York, for the Barclays Center Classic. Their first game there against Boston College is a very winnable game but they would then likely face a sweet sixteen team from a year ago in Maryland. Wisconsin-Green Bay

will be a sneaky tough game; the Phoenix made the NCAA Tournament last year and play a full-court press, up-tempo style that could cause problems. Washington State and Colorado State will be tough matchups, especially on neutral sites in Kansas City and Denver, respectively. Another game fans may forget about is the one against Tennessee in the Big12-SEC challenge that takes place in the middle of Big 12 play. The Volunteers could cause some problems for the Wildcats. But most likely the Wildcats will get through nonconference play fairly unscathed. Like seasons of late, they will play in way too many close games against teams that shouldn’t get close, but there just aren’t any games that the Wildcats aren’t capable of winning. see page

CONFERENCE

This is where things get tricky. A year ago the Wildcats were 11-2 in nonconference but finished the season with a 17-16 record, because of a 5-13 Big 12 record. The Wildcats just haven’t been able to win road games. It doesn’t help that the Big 12 is largely a mystery this year. Buddy Hield, Isaiah Taylor, Georges Niang, Perry Ellis and Taurean Prince are all gone, and behind likely first-place finisher Kansas, second through ninth place in the conference standings could be a toss up.

K-State starts with a tough three-game stretch with Texas and Oklahoma at home and Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse. If the Wildcats can win two out of those three, it would really boost their confidence for the rest of the season. The Cats will start to figure out where they line up in the Big 12 race when they get West Virginia at home and Iowa State on the road in late January. K-State will face a tough stretch of games in mid-February with games against Baylor, Kansas, West Virginia, Iowa State and Texas. But the team does end the Big 12 slate

with four winnable games against Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, TCU and Texas Tech. The Big 12 should be more kind than it has been in recent years, and if the Wildcats finally figure out how to win close games and road games, then a top-five finish isn’t out of the picture.

FINAL PREDICTION

21-10 (10-8 Big 12) The Wildcats will be an improved team from last year, and they can get back in the tournament but it all depends on the young talent on this team. We know what Johnson and Iwundu contribute. It

depends on if Stokes, Brown and Wade can take steps forward and if Sneed and Maurice can provide reliable roleplay.

Sure, winning the NIT beats not playing, but teams actually want to get into the NCAA Tournament.

If scheduling is any indication of what the coaching staff sees in this particular edition of the team, however, K-State fans might be in for a wild ride. Last year, the Wildcats played a total of eight games against top-25 opponents in the regular season. This year, nine are scheduled, including that very same UConn team I men1 earlier. tioned Outside of that game, however, the Wildcats schedule is back-heavy. The first third

The Wildcats will finish the first third of their regular season with the game against No. 3 UConn, scheduled for Dec. 11.

Check out our video review at kstatecollegian.com! JULIA HOOD & KELSEY KENDALL THE COLLEGIAN

So California rolls might not be traditional sushi, but for all of you out there wanting to play it safe, there is less chance of encountering odd fish parts. We tried Panda Express in the K-State Student Union and Green Tea Sushi located in Aggieville. Both are good, but which is better?

PANDA EXPRESS: $5.49/ROLL

Julia: The sushi from both places looked a lot alike, but this California roll had sesame seeds on top of it and instead of fresh crab, there was a premade crab mix in it. It was pretty good, with the avocado, cucumber and crab mix, but the taste was a little disappointing. There wasn’t any kick to it, which may have been from the already-made crab mix. It

came in a ready-to-go plastic container which was nice, yet could have been the reason it was less fresh and flavorful. Kelsey: While I wouldn’t completely rule out Panda Express in the Union, it wasn’t exactly the best. I appreciated the convenience of it more than anything else, although the flavors were not bad. Appearance-wise, the California roll had a little more going on with it than the Green Tea Sushi one, but that was only because there were sesame seeds and the crab was shredded and mixed with something tasting like mayo. It may have been slightly bland overall, but I would still get it on occasion.

GREEN TEA SUSHI: $4.50/ROLL

J: I didn’t think I would taste a huge difference in sushi, but with these two, I sure did. Green Tea Sushi tasted a lot better in my opinion, with avocado and cucumber that

had strong flavors and one crab piece in each piece that made it very bold. Overall, this California roll was more fresh, flavorful and satisfying. Good texture, good fish, good rice, good price. My favorite for sure! K: All good things here! I really enjoyed the California roll with its big chunk of crab meat and the veggie flavors going on in it. The cucumber was especially strong, and as someone who really enjoys cucumber, I appreciated that. It also added a nice crunchy texture to the roll. With all the mushy things that go into sushi like rice, avocado and such, having that crunch makes for a more interesting meal.
