Wildcats sneak by Jayhawks 21-17, extend Sunflower Showdown win streak to 10

JARRETT WHITSON THE COLLEGIAN

Heading into this year’s Sunflower Showdown, Kansas State and Kansas were tied for last place in the Big 12. Both teams were 3-6 overall and just 1-4 against conference foes. Last Sunday, it was announced that KU head coach David Beaty would not be retained at the season’s end. For K-State, mixed emotions have been swirling surrounding the team’s success and the future of Hall of Fame head coach Bill Snyder. Along with year-long bragging rights for the state of Kansas, bowl eligibility was on the line. With three games to go for each, the team that lost would be unable to get that sixth win needed to be automatically considered for a bowl game. For a few hours on Saturday, those questions would be laid to rest, as the Wildcats and Jayhawks strapped up their shoulder pads and helmets and played ball. Both teams struggled on their opening offensive drives and the whole first quarter was uneventful. KU started with the ball and punted after three plays. Things were even worse when the punt hung in the air due to

The Wildcats were unable to take advantage and missed a 53-yard field goal. Twice more would both teams punt the ball away in the opening period. The Wildcats had 46 yards of offense in the first quarter, while the Jayhawks only had 31 yards. An 18-play, 94-yard KU drive that began with 18 seconds left in the first quarter re-

sulted in a Jayhawk field goal. They were given a second chance at a touchdown when K-State roughed the kicker on a 35-yard field goal attempt, but the Wildcat defense bounced back and held strong. Gabriel Rui connected from 21 yards out to put KU on the board first, making the score 3-0 with 5:38 remaining before halftime. K-State had just one offensive drive in the second quarter, and it resulted in another punt.

The Jayhawks began the following drive with a 26-yard pass from quarterback Peyton Bender to wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. The pass very easily could have been a touchdown had Bender not led his receiver into the sideline. A few plays later, KU missed another chance for a touchdown, as wide receiver Kwamie Lassiter dropped a pass with a step on his defender just outside of the end zone. After a false start, a loss of

seven yards, a delay of game and poor clock management, the Jayhawks were unable to get any points before the half without any timeouts. At halftime, KU led K-State 3-0. It also had an advantage in total yards (166-59), first downs (11-4) and time of possession (20:58-9:02). Bender went 11-of-16 for 82 yards in the first half, and Pooka Williams Jr. led the team with nine rushes for 52 yards, while Alex Barnes had 29 yards on seven rushes. The third quarter was by far the most offensive quarter of the game, but second half started off heavily in the favor of the Jayhawks. KU recovered a squib kick on the opening kickoff of the half, but K-State caught a break when it would later sack Bender on fourth down and take over at its own 36-yard line. K-State capitalized, marching 64 yards in five plays and just over two minutes to finally put points on the board. Barnes ran in a 24-yard touchdown to put his team up 7-3 with 11:59 in the third quarter. Barnes accounted for 53 of the team’s 64 yards on the drive.

A cappella group to perform in Forum Hall by Rowan Jones If you were in the Kansas State Student Union Sunday night, you may have heard a resonating chorus come from Forum Hall. Most likely it was InA-Chord, an a cappella group, preparing for its Sunday evening show. Out of the three a cappella groups on the K-State campus, In-A-Chord is the only group associated with the choral department. The group consists of seven to 12 members who sing a cappella renditions from a multitude of genres. Even though they have a faculty advisor, the group is primarily ran by students. Student leaders organize and draft rehearsal schedules, contact potential patrons and have most recently produced an album. One of the advantages of the small group is its ability to travel easily, said Abbie Lane, chorus member and junior in communication sciences and disorders. Lane said that ability helps to make the K-State choral department more visible, something that may not be as logistically feasible for the larger groups. Cooper McGuire, senior in vocal performance, said he hopes that will also help to generate an increased interest in music.

Social Justice Alliance sheds light on food disparity at Unthanksgiving ANGELA SAWYER THE COLLEGIAN

Brooke Barrett | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

The Department of Housing and Dining Services’ Social Justice Alliance invited students to participate in its Unthanksgiving banquet from 5:00-6:30 p.m. in the Kramer Dining Center Tallgrass Ballroom on Sunday. This event educated residents about relevant issues in diversity and multiculturalism by celebrating indigenous peoples of North America as well as having them participate in a hunger banquet.

Barnes’ touchdown ignited a scoring fire, turning the game into a bit of a shootout for a short period of time. The Jayhawks responded by using up 4:16 of the clock and scoring on a nine-yard touchdown pass from Bender to receiver Jeremiah Booker. The back-and-forth scoring would continue when Barnes punched the ball in from two-yards out. With 2:57 to go in the quarter, K-State was ahead 14-10. KU was not done returning the favor yet. Just 14 seconds into the fourth quarter, Bender connected with Sims on a long pass. Sims reached out and grabbed the ball in stride and outran the defense 65 yards to the end zone. The Jayhawks went back on top, going ahead 17-14 — a lead that they would hold until just under three minutes to go in the game. Around the 3:30 mark of the fourth quarter, Barnes went airborne to convert a fourth-andone. The run sparked a three-play

series that was one of the best the Wildcat offense has seen in a while. Quarterback Alex Delton connected with wide receiver Dalton Schoen on a 28-yard pass. Schoen was held by his defender, but got around him to make an impressive catch. Delton followed the connection up with a 21-yard run that finished in the end zone. With 2:46 remaining in the game, K-State held a 21-17 lead over its rivals. The only thing left was for the defense to come up with a stop. The defense did just that, but not without a little help from KU. On the first play of the ensuing drive, K-State linebacker Justin Hughes wrangled up Williams for a four-yard loss. On third-andfive, Wildcat defensive back Lance Robinson broke up the pass to force a fourth down, but the Jayhawks would convert for a first. A few plays later, something would happen that sealed the victory for the Wildcats. Bender was trying to avoid pressure and lost the ball as he was attempting to throw. After the ball bounced around, K-State defensive end Bronson Massie recovered it. Several Wildcats ran onto the

field from the sideline in enthusiasm, warranting an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. It did not matter, as K-State was able to take a knee and run off the remaining 20 seconds on the clock. Although it was not always pretty, and did not always appear to be well in control, K-State defeated KU 21-17. The win marks K-State’s 10th consecutive Sunflower Showdown win. After posting just 59 yards in the first half, K-State finished the game with 301 yards of offense. Barnes finished the game with 117 yards on 22 carries, along with two touchdowns. After a net of -13 rushing yards in the first half, Delton finished the game with 55 rushing yards. His 21yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter sealed the win. Bender went 21-for-34 through the air, with 232 yards and two touchdowns. Sims amassed 113 yards on five receptions with one score. In total, KU finished with 347 yards. The Wildcats move to 4-6 overall and 2-4 in Big 12 play, while remaining in the hunt for bowl eligibility with two games remaining. The Jayhawks fall to 3-7 and 1-5 on the season and cut short of the bowl-eligible six wins.

On Sunday evening, the Social Justice Alliance treated its guests to an unconventional Thanksgiving meal. Instead of the classic turkey paired with traditional sides like mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce, guests ate Mexican food and received tickets with scenarios that determined the amount of food they were served. Cody Hopkins, senior in park management and conservation, received a ticket marking him a farmer for the event who had lost his only income, so he received less food. “Coming from a middle class family and only getting rice and a tortilla makes me feel really grateful about where I came from,” Hopkins said. Programming co-director

of the Social Justice Alliance and sophomore in communication studies Marley Lowe said the event was born out of wanting to get down to realizing the reality of Thanksgiving. “We came up with the idea because we wanted to put on a program together for November, and we wanted to bring into light the ways in which Native Americans have been oppressed through the nature of Thanksgiving,” Lowe said. “Since Thanksgiving is so focused on food we also wanted to bring to light the way that food disparity impacts everyone especially on the college level.” Jacquii Ayala-Cruz, Social Justice Alliance programming co-director and junior in interior design, was the main speaker at the event. She discussed what happened after the three-day feast the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag

Nation shared, which Ayala-Cruz said is not taught in schools. “While some view Thanksgiving as a day to fill themselves up with food, for others it is a day that is cemented in history that will a mark the beginning of their end,” Ayala-Cruz said. The event, though meant to shed light on truth, was not meant to make participants feel guilty, Ayala-Cruz said. It was to recognize and bring awareness to why some Native Americans refer to Thanksgiving as a day of mourning. “Thanksgiving was warped to be about giving thanks and working to help each out,” Ayala-Cruz said. “We ask that you recognize the injustices that indigenous people face and to give thanks for any privilege you have been given or born with. We ask that you use that privilege to make the world a better place.”

Manhattan celebrates Veterans Day, Armistice Day centennial SARAH MOYER

THE COLLEGIAN

Whether waving flags with pomp and circumstance at the parade Monday or sitting in quiet reflection at one of Kansas State’s many war memorials, the local community has hosted and is hosting a number of opportunities for students to honor those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces in celebration of Veterans Day, which was Sunday. Thinking about veterans who have passed through K-State at one point or another, Lt. Col. Peter Gray, professor of military science, talked about how men and women enlisting today are peers of students on campus. “Personally, it’s enough for me if an individual pauses and just recognizes that all these individuals, all these veterans have become part of something greater than themselves and improved their communities,” Gray said.

At K-State, yearly enrollment averages about 2,000 military-affiliated students. “It’s people students’ age who stood up and answered this call,” Gray said. Sunday also marked the centennial Armistice Day. “Veterans Day grew out of Armistice Day,” Gray said. “World War I ended on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, and it was centered around recognizing those individuals that served in World War I and has sort of grown to recognizing all veterans of all our wars for their patriotism, for their selfless service, for their love of country.” About 105 active participants in K-State’s Army ROTC program will assist with Manhattan’s Veterans Day Parade on Monday. The public parade will begin at 9:30 a.m., trailing from Manhattan Town Center up Poyntz Avenue to 14th Street. Gray said Manhattan’s Vet-

erans Day parade is the largest in Kansas and has been for the past few years. “We’re fortunate that we have an infantry division down the road that participates in it,” he said. “The community is super supportive and there’s lots of people out there.” Students in Army ROTC celebrated early by raising the national colors at Via Christi Hospital on Friday. Other individual efforts like taking time to reflect requires only a few moments of time for any student, setting aside political disagreements during this season, Gray said. War memorials on campus provide such space, for example. “Go and take the time to learn about the memorials we have on campus, because we do have quite a few and there’s a lot of symbolism in some of them,” Gray said. “The World War II Memorial, it’s got the dog tag, which is historically accurate.”

Gray said soils from national and state military cemeteries are buried in its foundation, and the design honors those who served in the air, on land and at sea. Cadet John Loyd, senior in construction science, said the World War II Memorial near McCain Auditorium is his favorite. “Anywhere you’re walking on campus, you could easily stop by one,” Loyd said.

OPINION: Going to the polls, voting in person is a jolly good time KYLE HAMPEL

THE COLLEGIAN

My first election was the U.S. presidential election of 2016. Yeah, I was off to a pretty bad start. I voted using a mail-in ballot, as many people my age do. College students by and large seem to prefer using mail-in ballots because getting themselves re-registered in their current residence can be a hassle. I’m just going to move again as soon as I graduate, so why register myself in an essentially temporary residence? It was about what I expected. I got a sheet of paper, I filled in some boxes like I was taking a standardized test and I mailed it off to people who I assumed would take care of it before it was too late. That felt a little impersonal, though. It’s not just me, is it? You don’t get to hear results for your choice

until weeks later, and you also don’t get to wear a sticker on Election Day like all the cool

old people — unless you remember to save it for later. In the 2018 midterm

elections, I decided I would mix things up a little bit. My parents had moved (again), so

A voter drops his ballot into the ballot box at the Riley County Republican Party Presidential Caucus on Mar. 5, 2016, at Manhattan High School.

I figured I should re-register anyway just to have a mailing address. More than that, though, I wanted to feel like I was an adult taking the civic wellbeing of Manhattan into my own hands. I entered my polling place on Tuesday as soon as my classes were over for the day. It was a community church with uniquely curvy architecture — Protestant, though, so of course my Catholic behind had never been in there before. Based on what I’d heard, I was expecting a line at least half a DMV long with lots of angry senior citizens telling me to write in Ronald Reagan for every position. Fortunately, that couldn’t have been further from the truth. I was greeted by incredibly friendly staff, young and old, and they honestly seemed pretty happy that I was willing to perform my civic duty on a Tuesday. Even my fellow voters seemed pretty pleased

to be there. Mail-in ballots are convenient and all, but there’s really nothing quite like having someone’s grandpa explain how to operate a voting machine in his raspy voice. So sure, I understand why people vote early using the power of the U.S. Postal Service. It’s an option that absolutely should exist for the good of our country. But if you have options, I’d recommend trying out the polls for the next presidential election. Who knows what cool stuff you’ll see when you go outside?

REVIEW: 'The Girl in the Spider’s Web' is a confusing, tangled mess CALEB COMPTON THE COLLEGIAN

If you are a fan of the “The Girl in the Spider’s Web” novel, turn away from the film adaptation. Every decision made in the production of this movie confused me. This film is supposedly a sequel to director David Fincher’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” but in reality, it has very little connection to that film. It has a new director (Fede Alvarez), an entirely new cast and barely any references to the events that occurred in the original film. The timing of this film is also strange. It has been nearly seven years since the original was released, and the public hasn’t exactly been clamoring for a sequel. But perhaps the oddest de-

cision made with this film was the decision to base the second film in the series on the fourth novel, entirely skipping over the second and third books. The fourth novel, coincidentally, also happens to be the first in the series that was not written by the original author and was written more than a decade after the other three books. These behind-the-scenes decisions are the hallmarks of an unfocused and troubled production, and it shows. The film itself focuses on Lisbeth Salander, a hacker and defender of abused women who is played by Claire Foy, as she gets caught in a murderous web of international espionage, organized crime and family drama. On paper this description sounds like the foundation for a gripping action thrill ride. In reality, unfortunately, it ends up

being more bland than exciting. While the first film focused more on mystery and intrigue, this film shifts gears by basically turning Lisbeth into a female emo version of Batman. The film had a very heavy focus on action, but unfortunately, the action itself was not executed very well. Every gunfight or car chase felt like I had already seen it a million times, and several points in the film felt like a bad imitation of “Mission: Impossible.” The visual styling of the film didn’t help matters either. The entire film has a very cold and drab color palette, which makes the already generic action sequences even less exciting to watch. In the process of trying to build up Lisbeth, the remaining characters in the film fell to the wayside. Mikael Blomkvist, played

by Sverrir Gudnason, was arguably the main protagonist of the original film but seems to barely get any focus in this one. The new characters introduced in this film are equally underdeveloped, which is a shame because they could have been very interesting had the film gave them the attention they deserved. Sadly, the film would rather spend more time on car chases and shootouts than on developing its characters. As a whole, this film is simply bland and unoriginal. The visual styling is cold and unappealing, the action scenes are generic and the characters do not get the focus that they deserve. If you are a fan of the original film, this sequel is not going to live up to your expectations. If you are simply looking for an action movie to

waste a few hours with, there are better options. I give this film a 4/10. Caleb Compton is a graduate student in computer sci-

OPINION: 2018 is the year voting became cool OLIVIA ROGERS THE COLLEGIAN

Monday, Nov. 5, 2018. I opened Instagram and scrolled through stories from my friends. Story after story reminded me and all other Instagram viewers to “Go vote! Remember to go to the polls!” Some even offered rides to polling locations. Snapchat was the same way; I couldn’t view a snap that didn’t have the voting filter. Now, it could be that I follow a crowd that is disproportionately politically involved. Maybe all my friends are more serious about their civic duty than the general public. But to me, this seemed like a wave of interest in voting from a crowd that had never professed an interest in politics before.

VETERANS continued from page

The hallways in Gen. Richard B. Myers Hall are also lined with tributes to K-State students and alumni. “Out in our hallway, we have the ‘48 Fallen,’ which is the display for 48 K-State students who were killed during World War I,” Gray said. “Down the hall, there’s a Distinguished Service Cross winner from Kansas State from World War II on D-Day,” Gray continued. “We have his actual medal from his family. That’s the second highest award for valor, right under

Nov. 6 rolled around, and I was again bombarded with story after story and post after post of people proudly displaying their “I Voted” stickers and reminding people of the closing times of polls. And this time, it extended beyond just the friends that I followed — celebrities, models and “Insta-famous” people were also talking about this year’s midterm elections. The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, or CIRCLE, reported that 31 percent of millennials voted in this year’s midterm election, a 10 percent increase from the 2014 midterm. Why are so many more young people voting? I don’t know the full answer to this question. It could be that everyone is paying attention to the issues. It could be that increased social media usage has made

young adults aware of the goings-on of America. It could be another reason entirely, but no matter the underlying reason, one thing holds true: voting is cool. It has moved past something that only people who have time or interest or expertise in politics participate in. And this trend hasn’t come a moment too soon — young Americans have realized that the ballot box is powerful. Many races across the country were too close to call at the end of the day last Tuesday. Several state legislature races in Kansas were separated by only a few hundred votes. Our votes do matter. Let’s keep this up.

the Congressional Medal of Honor, so there’s absolutely some history available. ” Also on campus, All Faiths Chapel was the site of a memorial concert Sunday, selected to fall on the exact Armistice Day centennial. Bryan Pinkall, Grammywinning soloist and K-State professor of music, performed with faculty pianist Amanda Arrington in Sunday’s program, titled “Voices on the Western Front.” It featured songs, cinema, history and theatrics during the performance. Elizabeth Handy, freshman in music education, said she gained more respect for veterans and learned from the personal stories of

the composers during the concert. “I think it really put into perspective how they truly did fight for us and they died for us,” Handy said. “When you focus on individual stories, it kind of pulls the emotion through more than it would just talking about veterans.” Traci Taylor, center operations and programs manager at Fort Riley USO, said students can impact a veteran they know by sharing with current service members through volunteerism. Several deployments will take place at the beginning of 2019, so volunteers are welcome to help coordinate events for spouses or children at that time, Taylor said.

Standing outside of her polling location, at the Manhattan Fire Department’s Headquarters, Stephanie Wallace shows off her “I Voted” sticker. This was Wallace’s first election. The graduate student in English was expecting longer lines but was pleseantly suprised the short wait. For her, issues like human and minoritiy rights were what drove her to the polls. Loyd said even a simple letter or thank you card goes a long way. “If you know someone that’s a veteran or a phone call or text message to anybody, that just goes miles for a lot of people,” Loyd said. Gray said as a veteran, he appreciates the community support and respect for the Army ROTC program. “There are 279 guys like me across the nation, and everyone has a different situation, and we’re extremely lucky here at Kansas State,” he said. “We do not get any complications with the sorts of things we need to train our guys with because Kansas is just service-oriented.”
