Students compete in LGBT Resource Center costume contest TRISTAN ANDERSON THE COLLEGIAN
Jedi masters and superheroes alike competed in the Union Program Council and LGBT Resource Center’s annual costume contest Thursday. Due to the chilly weather, it was moved from Bosco Student Plaza to the fireplace lounge in the K-State Student Union. The LGBT Resource Center also provided free candy and Varsity Donuts. “This gives students a fun thing to do and show off their costumes,” Michaela Madsen, a junior in agriculture economics, said. “We’ve had about 15 to 20 [people] show up and through email they can pick up their prize winnings at the Union Program Office.” Participants signed up via email and from noon to 1 p.m. showed their costume in front of a panel of four judges. Many of the costumes featured famous pop culture characters. “I’m Hedwig, the owl from Harry Potter,” said Maia Carlson, technical writing instructor in the Department of English. “I made a set of wings and it was the only character I could think of. It took me a year since I put it off many times.”

Gina D’Amato, graduate teaching assistant in creative writing, dressed as Aku, the shapeshifting demonic antagonist from the cartoon Samurai Jack. “It’s because I love the show and the aesthetic,” she said. “The mask itself took about seven hours and the rest took a couple more hours.” Both wanted an excuse to dress up and are planning on going out for Halloween as the costumes they had on. Carlson said the donuts were a bonus.
Some costumes incorporated a humorous element. One student simply taped a sign reading “Student Debt” to his shirt. “I’m on the improv team and I thought what was something easy to do and student debt is the scariest thing on campus,” Joe Dotterweich, freshman in open option said. The top four received prizes including gift sets and gift cards. One of the prizes was also a free “Double Trouble” Spa Treatment from Bellus Academy.
Hale Library announces 24/5 hours for first floor commons BAILEY BRITTON THE COLLEGIAN
On Monday, Nov. 3, Hale Library's Dave and Ellie Everitt Learning Commons will begin 24/5 hours. The commons will be open from Sunday at 1 p.m. to Friday at 6 p.m. The ability to secure the learning commons from the rest of the building led to this change. Previously, there was no way to secure the different floors
of Hale. "The modification reduces the cost of staffing overnight hours since there is only one floor to monitor," Lori Goetsch, dean of libraries, said in K-State today. "This has been one of our highest priorities with the renovation of Hale Library. We know how important it is to students." Ben Marlow, sophomore in architectural engineering, said he thinks this opens up more opportunity for students.
"I think the fact that it's open like that now gives student an opportunity not only to explore more of the campus but also have a new place to study and get work done," Marlow said. "We're able to see the actual transformation of the building itself." The second floor of Hale is scheduled to open in the spring 2020 semester and all renovations should be completed by the end of 2020.

Know Your Opponent: KU’s newfound offense, struggling defense NATHAN ENSERRO THE COLLEGIAN
Logan Wassall | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP
Junior quarterback Skylar Thompson celebrates after running in a touchdown during K-State’s homecoming football game against OU in Bill Snyder Family Stadium on Oct. 26, 2019. The Wildcats upset the No. 5 rated Sooners with a final score of 48-41.
The 2019 iteration of the Sunflower Showdown kicks off at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Lawrence at KU’s David Booth Memorial Stadium. Kansas, like K-State, looks improved this year under a new head coach — Les Miles. Miles started his head coaching career at Oklahoma State before taking over at Louisiana State. Miles had been out of coaching since being fired mid-season by LSU in 2016 when Kansas Director of Athletics Jeff Long tapped him to replace David Beaty. Kansas’ season has been a tale of two offensive coordinators. At first, Kansas had Les Koenning at the spot. His
offense was a more traditional power running scheme like one would have seen on those great LSU teams in the late 2000s. Miles let go of Koenning after losing to Oklahoma and brought in offensive analyst Brent Dearmon. Dearmon has done a great job with senior quarterback Carter Stanley, turning him into a run-pass option machine in the new, modern offense. Stanley and Dearmon also have some very talented toys to play with in sophomore running back Pooka Williams and junior wide receiver Andrew Parchment. Williams is a very athletic and shifty back. He does not go down easy and slips out of tackles very well, which could
be a problem given K-State’s tackling woes. He averages 100 yards per game, second most in the conference behind Oklahoma State’s Chuba Hubbard. He is such a weapon, that it really opens up the option game for Kansas, something they used well against Texas. Stanley is a capable enough runner that he can fake to Williams and the respect the defense has will open up holes for Stanley to exploit. Parchment provides an outlet to the run game and a consistent target for Stanley. They like to get the ball to him in space and let him move. He’s fourth in the conference in receiving yards per game. On defense, Kansas has not been good. They rank ninth in scoring defense, last
in rushing defense and seventh in pass defense. Their total defense is also dead last in the conference. They show a variety of fronts depending on the situation, but seem to prefer four down lineman unless it’s a passing down. They have some talent in the secondary, but their front seven struggle to get after the quarterback and really struggle to get off the field on third down. PREDICTION: Last week, K-State offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham had to call a perfect game and he did. This week, K-State doesn’t need as perfect of a game. I think Kansas can’t stop K-State’s ground game late and the Wildcats outlast KU 41-34.

The Kansas State Wildcats started sloppy, but came out with the win tonight against the Washburn Ichabods with a final score of 65-55. Senior forward Makol Mawien struggled against Emporia State last Friday night, however, tonight was much different. Mawien was just shy of a double-double with 16 points and 9 rebounds. “My teammates were great. They gave me the ball, and I went to work,” Mawien said. If Mawien can stay out of foul trouble, and get going early, the Wildcats will have no trouble in the front court. Mawien was not the only big man that showed some promise, freshman forward Montavious Murphy really came to play racking up 11 points and 5 rebounds for the Wildcats. “I thought [Murphy] was good," head coach Bruce Weber said. "He’s got to make those
layups. If he can get a couple of those down he’ll be doing pretty well.” Despite some good offensive efforts, the Wildcats had a horrific time keeping the ball in their own hands. The ichabods forced 21 turnovers, which is nearly double the amount of turnovers K-State had last Friday night against Emporia State. What is interesting is neither Weber nor senior forward Xavier Sneed had much concern on the turnover troubles, just giving a lot of credit to the way that Washburn prepared. “Their guys did a great job scouting, they got coaches that have been in the Big 12, we just dribble penetrate too much from time to time and got too deep, and lost the ball,” said Sneed. Weber said he was also impressed with the way Washburn's defense played. “We need to do a better job, they kind of got us flying around, kickin it, swinging it, and shooting those threes”. Shooting threes was some-
thing that the Ichabods had going for them. Despite shooting 45 threes, they only connected on 14 of them which still attributes to 42 of their 55 points. Junior Ichabod Guard Tyler Gieman as well as Senior Guard Kevin Briggs combined for 29 points, shooting 9-18 from threepoint land. Head Coach Brett Ballard was pleased to see his guys play hard and give the Wildcats a run for their money. “I’m proud of our guys, I thought we came in and played hard. You know you came into these exhibition games, and I think there’s two objectives. Obviously we want our team to get better, compete and learn from this one...but obviously we also understand the other side of it and were trying to help K-State prepare for their season,” Ballard said. The Kansas State Wildcats will be back in Bramlage Coliseum next Tuesday, November 5th at 7 p.m. officially kicking off their season against the Bison of North Dakota State.

K-State football prepares for ‘dog fight’ with improved Kansas team CODY FRIESEN
THE COLLEGIAN
All the focus headed into the Sunflower Showdown this weekend is on Kansas. After Kansas State’s upset win over Oklahoma last weekend, senior defensive lineman Trey Dishon said the shift of focus was difficult. “It was tough, but it’s over now. It was a good Saturday and Sunday of looking back on how we played and how we competed against OU, but it’s the Sunflower Showdown now,” Dishon said during Tuesday’s press conference. “We are really getting guys into this one day at a time, so we can compete on Saturday.” Junior quarterback Skylar Thompson said the transition of focus had to happen early to prepare for an improved Kansas team. “You could tell people put last weekend behind us and are getting ready for KU,” Thompson said. “KU is a good football team. They’ve shown a lot of good flashes this year. We have to
be ready to go play. We know it’s going to be a dog fight. They are going to be fired up to play us, and we are going to be fired up to play them. I think it’s going to be an exciting game on both sides, and I’m just looking forward to getting out there and competing.” Playing KU holds significance for the in-state players and recruits Kansas passed over. “As Kansas kids, they always look at ‘KU didn’t want me’ or ‘they didn’t offer me,’ you know, that stuff, and I know that sits in the back of guys’ hearts that are from Kansas,” Dishon said. Senior offensive lineman Scott Frantz — a Lawrence Free State graduate — talked about the meaning of this game to him. “We try to treat every game the same, but I’d be lying to you if I told you that this game doesn’t mean a little more to me,” Frantz said. “Being from Lawrence, I have a bunch of buddies on that KU football team. I can’t wait to see them and can’t wait to compete against them. I’m going home for the last time, and it means a lot.” The Jayhawks have im-
proved greatly in the last year, creating a different team than what the Wildcats have played in the past. “They play hard on defense they fly around they have a lot of talented guys, and then obviously that offense has been getting after it the last couple of weeks,” senior tight end Blaise Gammon said. “Carter [Stanley] has been playing really well, they’ve got skill position players that are making a lot of plays too.” Senior quarterback Carter Stanley earned Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for week 9 and threw for 415 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in the Jayhawks’ 37-34 win over Texas Tech on Saturday. Sophomore running back Pooka Williams is second in the Big 12 in rushing yards. It will be crucial for K-State to stop him. “Obviously, [Pooka Williams] can do so many things in and out of the backfield, and they hand him jet sweeps and stuff,” Klieman said. “I know they’re continuing to put more of their offense in. So, I think we’ll see some unique things or different

K-State women’s basketball struggles in exhibition tough win over Washburn NATHAN ENSERRO THE COLLEGIAN
The women’s basketball team held on to beat Washburn 75-59 in exhibition at Bramlage Coliseum on Tuesday night. In a game where the Wildcats stars — sophomore guard Christianna Carr, junior guard Rachel Ranke and junior forward Peyton Williams — did not appear, the Wildcats found freshman center Ayoka Lee early and often. “If there’s an area I’m really proud of our group tonight it’s that, while it didn’t always look pretty, we had players trying to figure things out on the fly,” head coach Jeff Mittie said. “I was proud of a big group of players that played well on the fly tonight.” Ranke, Carr and freshman
forward Emma Chapman were held out for disciplinary reasons. Williams missed the game due to her duties with the volleyball team. They will all be available for Kansas State’s next game Friday. Lee had the first four points for the Wildcats and finished the game with 18 points and seven rebounds. She only played 19 minutes due to foul trouble. “They started off the game fronting [Lee] and we obviously got her quick buckets right away,” Mittie said. “The one thing Ayoka does, which is a really good trait for a young person, is she doesn’t really get frustrated. She continues to talk, continues to rebound, still continues to be coachable and that allows her to come back into the game.” On the court, she stood five inches taller than Ichabod for-
ward Hayley Thompson, who guarded her for most of the night. K-State’s guards sent passes over Thompson to Lee’s waiting arms under the basket. K-State was out-rebounded 17-10 in the third quarter, letting Washburn close the gap and take the lead on two occasions. “We had a little situation there where we let them take the lead,” senior guard Angela Harris said. “If I’m excited, the team’s excited so that’s just what I was trying to do.” By the end of the third, K-State took a 52-47 lead despite being outscored 24-14. “I like the fact that we responded when Washburn made the run on us,” Mittie said. “I don’t like that run happening, we’ll try to correct that and answer it better next time, but I like
the answer that we gave in the fourth quarter.” K-State stretched it out throughout the fourth quarter. Lee, Harris and senior forward Jasauen Beard did damage. Beard, Harris and sophomore guard Cymone Goodrich all joined Lee in double-figure scoring. Beard had 16 points, Goodrich had 14 points and Harris, a transfer from the University of Houston, had 12 in her first action at K-State. “I had like a year off of basketball completely,” Goodrich said in regards to the injury that held her out most of last season. “Just being able to play injury-free feels amazing.” K-State a few days off before taking on Fort Hays State in the last exhibition game of the year at 6:30 p.m. on ESPN+.
The Wildcats enter as five and a half-point favorites in Saturday’s road matchup in Lawrence.

Program encourages underrepresented groups’ research involvement PETER LOGANBILL THE COLLEGIAN

Members of the Developing Scholars Program.
Founded 20 years ago, the Developing Scholars Program at Kansas State seeks to help students get involved in research. Specifically, it targets first-generation or historically underrepresented students. “What we notice is that having research looks great, especially when you’re applying to professional schools, graduate schools or any other job outlook, job field,” Mia Taylor, DSP graduate research assistant, said. The program is competitive, but participation is compensated. Students go through an interview process to be matched with a faculty research mentor. A variety of majors participate in the program. Jared Newell, junior in biology, has been involved in the program for three years. “I feel as though it’s opened a lot of doors,” he said. “Not a lot of students are able to be involved in research right off the bat coming in as a freshman, like I was.” Through DSP, he works in a neuroscience lab with zebra fish. “Coming into that freshman year, and getting all the knowledge freshman year, was working on the technicalities, like brain
imaging, getting actual slices of brains and being able to image those yourself, analyzing those was kind of like, my freshman year as a crash course,” Newell said. “That was super exciting for a freshman.” Bradley Richards, junior in economics, had a similar experience in different research. “It’s been one of the highlights of my college career,” he said. “Research is one of those things where you can kind of learn in your field of study, and kind of get ahead of your peers while learning present tense stuff.” He said in terms of his identity, his research topic is something he’s passionate about. “When I changed my major to econ, I did research in the philosophy department, and I did it on racial justice and access to college in Kansas,” Richards said. “What does it look like for African Americans to get into public universities like K-State and what does it look like to retain students and how can we increase our diversity number?” He said he could talk about his research for days. “When I put it down on my resume and show employers and they ask me about my research, I love to talk about it,” Richards said. “It makes me look good on paper, but it also teaches me prob-

lem-solving skills.” Brenee King, assistant director for the Office of Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry, said there’s more to the program than just research. “I’d say overall, we want to help our students be successful, and so we have other community building activities and opportunities for students within DSP,” King said. “We have a couple of large, all-invited activities, and then we have what we call small groups.” DSP members come to the small groups based on their own schedules and get to know each other throughout the year. In the spring students present their research projects at a symposium. “Students start in the fall, and then we have our symposium in the spring where they talk about the research that they’ve been doing to the larger K-State community,” King said. Taylor, although she now helps students in the program, was in it for three years and said that it has also definitely helped her a lot. “Especially with research, I am now in my master’s program for kinesiology and that’s what I did as an undergrad,” Taylor said. “I will say having that advantage of research in undergrad has definitely helped me in my master’s program.” To get involved with the DSP, apply online.

‘Always read your lease:’ tips, information from renter’s forum PETER LOGANBILL THE COLLEGIAN
For many at Kansas State, off-campus housing is an ongoing topic. Presenters at the Manhattan Renter's Forum on Tuesday evening encouraged students — and all renters in Manhattan — to know their rights as tenants and their landlord's rights as well. Teresa Baker, tenant landlord and Helping Ourselves to Prosper Economically program
manager for Housing and Credit Counseling, Inc., was the first speaker at the forum. Baker told renters to "always" read their lease. She described the contents of the Kansas Residential Landlord & Tenant Act. For example, a landlord does not have to supply an air conditioning system, but if they decide to, they are required to maintain it. “They don’t have to supply appliances, so, whenever you go look for a rental, make sure that everything is there," Baker said.

“Make sure it’s covered in the lease, that it’s supplied.” It is also up to the landlord to maintain systems such as electrical, plumbing and sanitary. They must also provide the means for adequate heat and running water. "They don't have to pay for trash removal, but they have to make sure that it's available in your area," Baker said. Before the forum took place, a survey on K-State Today invited all K-State students, faculty and staff who rent in Manhattan
to answer questions on renting. Justin Watkins, Student Governing Association Government Relations Committee chair and sophomore in political science, presented the survey results. The survey had 143 respondents, 60 of which were students. Of the respondents, 56 percent said they selected their property through a rental unit website.

Manhattan assistant city manager Dennis Marstall also sent out a survey to landlords.

What we can’t see might tell us a lot about what we can, prof. says CHRISTIAN BRIGHT THE COLLEGIAN
Space is full of large planets and bright stars. Between all of that is energy we cannot see — it’s called “dark matter” and it could change a lot of what we know about the universe. Kansas State assistant professor of physics Lado Samushia will conduct research for the U.S. Department of Energy on the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument project. The focus of DESI is to learn more about how dark energy affects the expansion of the universe. “One thing that we know about the universe is that it used to be really, really uniform,” Samushia said. “So things looked almost exactly the same everywhere.” As the universe expands, gravity plays a role in how galaxies are formed and positioned.
“Gravity makes things stick together and form to each other,” Samushia said.
