COMMUNITY OPINION: It may not be perfect, but the future of voting is ranked-choice
REBECCA VRBAS THE COLLEGIAN
Last year, Maine became the first state to implement rankedchoice voting for statewide elections. Last week, more than 73 percent of voters in New York City voted to join 18 other U.S. cities in using ranked-choice voting for future elections. Most importantly for Kansans, voters in the Democratic primary in May 2020 will cast ranked-choice ballots for the first time in its history. Ranked-choice voting may seem new and trendy, but it actually has an on-again off-again history in the United States. Around the turn of the
20th century, it was adopted in many cities. However the system eventually fell out of use in most places in the 1960s, when it was blamed for politically benefiting communists during the height of the Red Scare and effectively labeled “un-American.” For those who are unfamiliar with ranked-choice voting, it’s not as scary as it sounds. A ranked-choice system allows voters to choose their top candidates in order of preference. Implementation can vary in practice, but generally how it works is if no candidate receives a majority of votes, the candidate with the least number of first choice votes is eliminated and their voters’ second choice is
applied. This process continues until a candidate receives over 50 percent of votes. Most places in the United States still use the First Past The Post voting system, where a candidate only needs a plurality to win — which could be a small percentage of total votes, as long as it happens to be more than the other candidates. FPTP, combined with the United States’s predominantly two-party system, leaves most voters choosing which candidate they dislike the least of two main candidates, for fear of hurting the “electable” candidate they identify with more if they voted third party. The problem is, many
Americans don’t identify with either political party. Gallup found in 2017 that 42 percent of Americans identified as political independents. Combined with our current party structure, which often has primaries closed to those who are not registered members, the result is that almost half of Americans are effectively given no say in the candidate selection process. The adoption of rankedchoice voting across the country reflects Americans’ widespread frustration with a two-party system that shuts out third parties and polarizes every contentious
issue. Many Americans have finally reached the point again where they’re tired of having to choose between two parties that seem to be increasingly out of touch with the average citizen. The use of ranked-choice voting in the United States will give third-party candidates, and lesser known candidates within the two major parties, a better shot at representing the people who feel their voices aren’t heard. Voters will be able to cast their ballots for candidates they truly believe in, not just the ones they think have a shot at being elected. Ranked-choice voting isn’t
perfect, and won’t directly solve all the problems that our democracy faces, such as gerrymandering, voter registration purges and general political apathy, but it’s clear that it is the next step towards building a more representative democracy for future generations.

WINDS OF CHANGE Administration examines alert policy for inclement weather, campus closures KAYLIE MCLAUGHLIN THE COLLEGIAN
Winter is about a month away, but Manhattan and much of Kansas has already seen snow. To prepare for awaiting frosty conditions, the university looks to revamp how and when it notifies students of campus closures for severe weather. “What we talked about is trying to get the communication out sooner,” Cindy Bontrager, vice president for administration and finance, said. “In our process, we are trying to make that decision more quickly so we can get that infor-

mation out to students, faculty and staff more timely.” Bontrager said there are two reasons to examine the policy. Part of it, she said, is it’s something the university tries to look at annually. The other part is Kansas State trying to right some wrongs from last year’s handling of campus closures for inclement weather in colder months. “We are going to try to do better in those types of circumstances,” Bontrager said. “We thought it was a good time to hear back and have a discussion of what concerns were there from last year ... as we are be-
ginning to prepare for another winter.” One specific example, she said, is the decision to delay classes in response to a winter storm at the end of last Thanksgiving Break. With students traveling from all around to come back for Monday classes and storms blowing across the majority of the state of Kansas that Sunday, it brewed a tricky situation, Bontrager said. “We would have wished we made that decision sooner and just said, ‘You know what? We are just going to delay,’” Bontrager said. “I think that one was a learning lesson. … That’s a good example of ‘Let’s do
that one differently.’” That doesn’t mean students will see more snow or ice days in the coming months, Bontrager said. The alterations to the plan also will not change how the decision to cancel or delay class are made, but really looks at when that decision is made. “It’s so difficult to predict snow and ice and cold and all of that,” Bontrager said. “There will be more times we may be off, where we may choose to close or delay campus when actually snow didn’t come in as much as they predicted and there may be times when we get surprised.”

a variety of different technologies, including the Mesonet. The Mesonet is a series of more than 60 automated weather stations around Kansas with plans for an additional three to be added each year. “They measure temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction solar radiation pressure, soil temperature at two and four inches as well as soil temperature and soil moisture,” Knapp said. The information these stations collect is put into the models to create weather predictions.

er for some, but to agriculture professionals it’s a necessity. “It effects the winter wheat production which is a big commercial component of the state of Kansas,” Knapp said. The other consideration with winter weather is the effects it will have on the following flood season. “Tuttle Creek is still above the flood level,” Knapp said. “This winter will dictate what kind of conditions we start with next spring.” In predicting the weather, the team of climatologists, meteorologists and researchers use

ing the weather is convective storms, which appear in one specific place and often don’t move much. “Figuring out exactly which spot the storm’s going to develop is really hard to do,” Knapp said. For the winter, the hardest part is precipitation and if it will lead to rain, snow or a mix. This is because there are many variables which can affect the type of precipitation. “That can be dependent not on so much what the surface temperatures are, but what the temperatures are through the profile of the atmosphere,” Knapp said. “If you’ve got cold air aloft, you can get snow even though temperatures are in the 40’s on the ground.” These predictions keep some students safe during the commutes to campus. “The winter weather forecast lets me know how cautious I need to be and what I need to wear to commute everyday,” Morris Metz, sophomore in computer science, said.

With the temperature dropping, the leaves falling and winter just around the corner, people are looking to the weather to find out just how cold it’s going to get. This winter is predicted to be similar to last year, however, last year was colder and wetter, Mary Knapp, service climatologist at Kansas State, said. This November’s outlook is predicted to be drier than normal, but the temperature will not swing far in either direction. “This is the big difference,” Knapp said. Although the process of predicting the weather can be hit or miss, Knapp said weekly predictions have an 80 to 90 percent accuracy, with the accuracy tapering as the time period for the prediction extends. Along with this, certain aspects of the weather can be harder to predict than others. “Precipitation is always the most difficult to do,” Knapp said. “It has a high variable pattern.” For the summer season, the hardest part about predict-

CULTURE FEATURE:
Quill Club offers workshops for creative writers, no matter their major
JULIE FREIJAT
THE COLLEGIAN
Tucked away on a cold and windy Wednesday evening, a group of writers gathered inside the third floor of the K-State Student Union. They sat around a table with their laptops out, critiquing and complimenting each other’s writing. This group, called the Quill Club, is dedicated to workshopping creative writing. Stephanie Wallace, club president and graduate student in English, said prior to this group she was involved in a different club called Creative Writing Enthusiasts at Kansas State during her undergraduate years. “At the time, [Creative Writing Enthusiasts] was very graduate-student focused,” she said. “It would only meet like once a month, if that, and their focus was mostly on going to writing conventions or writing confer-
ences, more of the professional development stuff. And so, I tried to be happy with it as it was.” Wallace said she wanted to create an independent organization more focused on workshopping writing, so she formed Quill Club. Wallace said she decided to name the group Quill Club after flipping through old yearbooks and discovering a similar club with the same name that existed at K-State decades ago. “It was all devoted to sharing writing; it was actually more essay focused rather than creative writing focused, but it served as a proving ground for people to show their work, debate whose work was best — because they were really into debate clubs back then — but I just really liked the idea of taking that old name and repurposing it for our current group,” Wallace said. Wallace said workshops in Quill Club are different from the workshops in classes on campus
because they don’t look at the piece as a final product so much as a work in progress. “When you bring it to the workshop class, the author is not allowed to speak — they must be completely silent while the entire classroom debates what should be changed [and] what they liked,” Wallace said. “So, everyone has a chance to give that feedback, but the author cannot talk or offer what they wanted for that vision,” she said. “Because in the workshop classroom, it’s just assumed that all the students know better than the author or that the teacher knows better than what the author wants on the standards of quality. Whereas, it’s my belief that the author always should have final say.” Wallace said while she understands the idea that those types of workshops are meant to be “stand-ins” for the public and critics, she wanted to create an environment where everyone was
aware that the piece in question isn’t a final draft. Syndey Anderson, junior in English, said she joined the club because it gives her an opportunity to write and read other writing. “I was not initially a creative writing major,” Anderson said. “I kind of jumped around a lot. I was music, I was computer science, I was all sorts of things — but I kept coming back to writing because it’s what I found myself doing more than my actual school work, when I was studying those other subjects. So it’s like, ‘Why don’t I just do this?’” Anderson said she always looks for opportunities to write and enjoys coming to the club even if she has nothing prepared. “It kind of helps keep it fresh in your mind by going to the these workshops because even if you’re not submitting your work and getting it reviewed, you’re thinking about how to edit other people’s work, you’re thinking about how you’re giving criticisms in a
constructive way that can kind of help you look at your own writing differently,” she said. “And I think whether you submit your writing or you don’t, I think it will make you a stronger writer — by participating in workshops.” Even though Anderson is an English major, the majority of the club is full of individuals from other areas of studies like history, geology or education. “The reason for this diversity is because a lot of people like creative writing, but not everyone can do it for a living,” Wallace

Muslim Student Open House offers a look at the culture of Islam GRACE WYATT
THE COLLEGIAN
“Please place your shoes on the shelves,” read the sign on the door, greeting visitors to the Muslim Student Open House. The Islamic Center of Manhattan partnered with Kansas State’s Muslim Student Association to put on the Muslim Student Open House. On Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the center opened its doors to students and community members for a day of informative fun. Once visitors removed their shoes, they were invited inside to
watch a brief video explaining the use of the Arabic word “Allah.” Following this, they were free to explore both of the building’s floors. Upstairs, participants had the opportunity to view various boards explaining the five pillars of Islam. A speaker accompanied each board to answer questions following their presentations. One of the presenters was Mohammad Khan, junior in biology, who also spoke at KSUnite last Wednesday. “We are not dangerous,” Khan said. “Even at Kansas State, I get weird looks if I’m out
in my own traditional clothing, and that’s fine because I’m used to it, but the only thing I would like for people to know about Islam is that it’s humanity. “It’s really kind. ... You’re not a Muslim if you’re not humane to people. ... Don’t listen to the media, or the president,” he continued. “Go out, meet with Muslims, study the religion, read novels. ... Go and experience it, don’t take anyone’s word for it.” Khan said he took part in both events to clear up misconceptions and stereotypes about Islam. “There’s a lot of negativity
about Islam, and we all face it ... so we have to be the ambassadors,” he said. Attendees who visited the lower level saw a few more presentations focused on women in Islam. Female visitors were invited to try on hijabs. There was a booth for receiving henna tattoos and a booth for learning to write in Arabic. Deanna Durler, junior in human resource management, used the open house to do research for a class project. “I’m in a class called Diversity in the Workplace, and we’re doing a year-long project where
said. “Because all of the writers in here who are not majoring in English recognize that they might have better job prospects in other groups or they care more about different subjects, other than just analyzing writing.” The club meets on Wednesdays at 3:30 p.m. in Union 305. She said the only requirement to have your writing workshopped is to attend two meetings. “We’re always looking for new writers,” Wallace said. “We’re always trying to welcome new people into our fold.”
EDUCATION
we study another culture we don’t really know anything about,” Durler said. “So, I decided to learn about Muslim culture, because I know absolutely nothing. I heard about this event, and I was like, ‘Hey, this is perfect.’ The information booths have been really helpful in teaching me about hijabs — trying it on was really fun —and learning about the Quran and the Prophet Mohammed.” “The people are really nice,” Durler said. “Everyone I’ve met has been super nice. You should definitely go out and meet people who practice Islam and not just
learn about it from the media.” As they finished their walk through the building, attendees were invited to try traditional Middle Eastern food in a buffet-style line. Some of the samples included manakeesh, known in the West as Arabic pizza, Arabic coffee and baklava pastries. On their way out, each guest received a bag containing a copy of the Quran, pamphlets explaining various aspects of Islam and a commemorative mug. The Islamic Center of Manhattan is always open to Muslims and non-Muslims alike to answer any questions related to Islam.

KULTIVATE Q&A: Student director of Off-Campus Housing Support describes services offered PETER LOGANBILL THE COLLEGIAN
Peter Loganbill, Collegian news editor: “What do you do when a junior or senior just calls you up and is like, ‘Hey, my landlord isn’t listening to me, they’re not coming to fix this thing. What do I do?’” Zach Perez, student director of Off-Campus Housing Support and sophomore in journalism: “Well, the main thing for my office is that I need specifics of the situation. So if I got a call like that, I would be like, ‘Well, why don’t we sit down and talk through the situation?’ “I’m absolutely fine with talking over email or the phone, but I personally just prefer sitting down with a person, someone in-person and talking through a situation just because I think I get a lot more detail that way. But really, I would say probably about 80 percent of the students I meet with or the students that email me or any contact I have with students fall into like four issues. It’s either they’re having problems getting a security deposit back, their landlord is not complying or like their landlord’s being kind of slow to do something or just not complying with something they want. “They’re having roommate issues or they have like something in their house that they feel is unsafe. So that’s like mold or a hole in the wall or something. And for the most common issues that I see in the office, there is really
simple fixes. “Granted, they might take like, they vary in how much time and work they would take to fix. Say you’re in a house that has mold, there’s a form you can fill out and give to your landlord that can resolve the issue within, that’s supposed to resolve the issue, within 30 days.” Loganbill: “Has anyone ever asked you a question that had an absurdly simple answer?” Perez: “Almost every time I meet with somebody. You’d be surprised. Granted, I completely understand why students are stressed out when they come to see me. For the most part, dealing with stuff like this, there’s usually you know, landlords trying to like fine you for something for large amounts of money. “But, you know, the other thing that I’ve noticed with
a lot of these situations is students get into a situation where they feel overwhelmed. They get scared, and then I come in. I’m like, ‘All right, this is all you need to do. You’re not going to need to pay anything. People are just trying to either like scare you or you misunderstood.’ “But yeah, I would say that happens probably at least, like, once every time I meet with a student is there’s just some big thing where they’re like, ‘I can’t believe this is happening. Like I feel so in over my head, how do I fix this?’ And I’m like, ‘I can print off a form right now, and we can get this resolved.’” Interested in learning more about what Zach Perez does in this Q&A?

OVERTIME THRILLER NATHAN ENSERRO THE COLLEGIAN
The men’s basketball team won a nail-biter on the road against University of Nevada-Las Vegas 60-56 in overtime Saturday. Kansas State's leading scorer was senior forward Xavier Sneed, who had 19 points on 6-18 shooting. He also recorded clutch points in the overtime period after junior guard Cartier Diarra fouled out. K-State played poorly on offense in the first half. After scoring the game’s first four points, K-State went cold and didn't score again until there were about 10 minutes were
left in the half. By that point, they were already down 10 points. That was the Runnin’ Rebels biggest lead of the game, but they held onto it for more than 30 minutes. K-State did just enough in the first half to stay in the game. The Wildcats closed out the half trailing 23-16 despite shooting 27.6 percent from the field and 0-10 from three. They finally caught up with UNLV, tying the game with about 13 minutes to play. After that, it was just a matter of UNLV taking the lead and K-State fighting back. The Wildcats figured out their offensive problems in the second half. They outscored

UNLV 32-25 in the final half thanks to nine points from Sneed and eight from Diarra. Diarra finished the game with 12 points, six assists and two blocked shots. He fouled out midway through the overtime period trying to drive the basket and score a critical basket. Late in the game, K-State took a two-point lead behind a pair of free throws from Diarra, but he fouled UNLV senior guard Elijah Mitrou-Long on a layup with just over a minute left. Mitrou-Long nailed both free throws to tie the game at 48 a piece. UNLV junior guard Amauri Hardy missed a three at the buzzer that would have ended the game. He finished
the game with a game-high 27 points. In overtime, K-State shot 50 percent and scored 12 total points. Sophomore guard Mike McGuirl led all overtime scorers with five points. UNLV took to fouling late to try to take back the lead in the last minutes of the game. K-State managed to make enough of their free throws to keep UNLV at bay. They were a perfect 5-5. K-State is now 2-0 and will be in action again on Tuesday against Monmouth in Bramlage Coliseum. It is the first on-campus game of the Fort Myers Tip-Off and will be streamed live on ESPN+.

ANALYSIS: ANDREW LIND
THE COLLEGIAN
The men’s basketball team managed to escape Las Vegas with an overtime win over the University of Nevada-Las Vegas Runnin’ Rebels with a final score of 60-56. Senior forward Xavier Sneed and redshirt junior guard Cartier Diarra combined for 31 points. The duo did not get going until late in the game, which could be a concern for Kansas State going forward. With such a young squad, veteran leadership will be what keeps the Wildcats competitive this season. Junior guard David Sloan came into the matchup with 19 minutes of play under his
belt from the Wildcats’ previous game against North Dakota State, finishing with two points. Saturday was similar — Sloan finished with a disappointing zero points in 10 minutes of play, contributing to only one of K-State’s 20 turnovers. Sloan has quite the potential to be a contributor on this years team, and hopefully he is just working out the kinks of his game early on. First half defensive struggles from the Wildcats slowly diminished in the second half of play, forcing the Rebels to 12 turnovers. UNLV junior guard Amauri Hardy kept the Rebels hopes alive with a career-high 27 points, shooting 50 percent from the arch. Hardy made a few pivotal shots down the road for the
Wildcats barely escape Las Vegas with a win in overtime Rebels, but it wasn’t enough. In all, K-State struggled to ever get going, only leading the Rebels for 5:07 minutes of the entire game. If K-State can improve upon the little things on the defensive side of the ball, they will be a hard team to beat. After a few days of rest the Wildcats will return to Bramlage Coliseum Wednesday night to host Monmouth University at 7 p.m. on ESPN+. Emily Lenk COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP
