Morris Family Multicultural Student Center celebrates oneyear anniversary on campus MARGARET LATENSER staff writer
After years of students fighting for a dedicated space to promote diversity and equity, Kansas State built the Morris Family Multicultural Student Center in 2020. The center’s student project coordinator Brandon Clark said that now — after one year on campus — the center’s popularity proves it was a need for students, not just a want. “The center is something our students have been asking for, for decades,” Clark said. “A designated, freestanding space on campus dedicated to promoting diversity, inclusion and equity.” Clark said since the ribbon-cutting this past November, the center has been busy and full of life. “The students have been in here doing their programming, having meetings and hanging out,” Clark said. “I think it has met all the needs that students initially had in providing that space on campus, and that is evident in how busy the center always is.” Clark said the student programs, meetings and social events the center hosts promote a sense of belonging for all students. “I cannot overstate the importance of giving particularly our multicultural students on campus their sense of belonging,” Clark said. “They were always longing for a place on campus because many places here are designated for various majors or departments, which can make students feel rejected and frustrated.” The multicultural center has no specific criteria for who can use the building, Clark said.
“Now there is a building and a center where you can do your programming: no one is saying you do not belong or that the building is not for you,” Clark said. “Students are like, ‘This is where I find my place and my space here at K-State.’” Having a physical building helps students see their community on campus, Kevin Santos Flores, director of diversity and multicultural student affairs, said. “I believe having the center, especially the physical structure, helps validate students’ sense of their own identity and development because we do live in a country with people who come from various backgrounds,” Flores said. “So having the building provides that support and shows a sense of community and acknowledgment that people are here.” Flores said rooms in the building that help spark a sense of community are the kitchen and performance room. “The use of the kitchen shows a connection with cooking and culture, and the performance room gives students another outlet to grow and be around their peers,” Flores said. Clark said The Gabriel Hernandez Common Room is another place where students can express themselves and let loose. “While it may look like just another pretty area in the building, it is a place where community comes together. They do everything from study to hang out and lounge to having robust conversations,” Clark said. “If you want to see the liveliness of the center, you go to the Gabriel Hernandez Common Room.” Marche Thompson, junior in
hospitality management, said students constantly fill the common room throughout the day. “I am in here all the time, either studying or hanging out. I love that every time someone walks up the stairs, they will add to the variety of people in the room,” Thompson said. “Everyone is different, but we all love to use this space together.” Now that the building is completed and in daily use by students, Clark said he loves showing the center off to alumni. “I have even seen alumni tear up because they just cannot believe the center is finally here, these people fought for something they knew they could never enjoy, but just to see current students enjoy it makes them feel accomplished,” Clark said. “It gives them hope that our current students will have better experiences now that the center is here, and it shows our current students that they stand on the shoulders of those who came before and fought for them to have this place on campus.”

2021 Student Price Index shows big increase in gasoline, beer prices LANDON REINHARDT staff writer
The 2021 Kansas State University Student Price Index shows a 2.6 percent increase in the cost of living compared to 2020, with the most significant increases being in gasoline, beer and groceries. The SPI, which the K-State Economics Club puts together, provides statistics for 11 different student-spending categories: gasoline, groceries, tuition, beer, pizza, Greek and non-greek housing, textbooks, movies, ICAT sporting tickets and the internet. The economics club has collected this data since 2002, which shows an increase of about 135 percent in total cost, meaning K-State student cost of living has more than doubled since the project began. For perspective, the Consumer Price Index, which covers the cost of living for all Americans, has increased around 50 percent since 2002, according to a press release from Suzanne Roggenkamp, junior in eco-
nomics and vice president of the economics club. In 2021, however, K-State students beat out the national average as the CPI increased 5.4 percent compared to K-State’s SPI of 2.6 percent. Daniel Kuester, the economics club faculty adviser, said this might be because of some college-aged people having more money. “The theory that we have is that students have a bit of disposable income that they didn’t have before,” Kuester said. The big jump in gasoline, beer and groceries — 49.12 percent, 36.36 percent and 10.76 percent, respectively — follow the national average. Sydney Rehagen, junior in economics and secretary of the economics club, said this is because of a series of choices made by people in power. “With gas and beer prices rising, I believe it has been rising as a result of policies and decisions made in government and decisions made locally,” Rehagen said. On the down-trend this year were the prices of ICAT sports

tickets at -25.42 percent and textbooks at -20 percent. Roggenkamp said estimating the average cost of textbooks was hard to compile, but they completed it in a way they were happy with. “We were very pleased to discover that the burden of textbook prices has lessened on many students due to an effective grant where faculty are providing some free textbooks to students,” Roggenkamp said in the SPI press release. Tuition — 3.1 percent — went up this year, breaking a twoyear unchanged streak. Greek housing expenses went down slightly at -0.32 percent, while non-Greek housing increased 3.6 percent. Pizza prices went unchanged while the cost of internet slightly moved up 0.02 percent. “I believe that several of the students who worked on this project enjoyed being a part of a larger project and coming together as a group to collect this data,” Roggenkamp said. “We use the SPI to involve some of our new members in a real economics project.”

OSHA’s Emergency Temporary Standard affects independent K-State-affiliated entities ALEXANDER HURLA staff writer
On Nov. 4, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration issued the Emergency Temporary Standard. The ETS requires employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their employees are fully vaccinated for COVID-19, according to OSHA’s website. If employees choose not to be vaccinated, they must wear masks and provide weekly negative COVID-19 tests. However, The National Law Review reported that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay order on Nov. 6, halting the mandate for the time being. While President Joe Biden’s executive order issued in September affects Kansas State employees, some independent entities affiliated with K-State did not feel the effect because they are separate
from the university. Two of those entities are the K-State Student Union and the KSU Foundation. Cindy Diederich, assistant director of human resources and business management at the Union, explained the dynamics of the Union’s relationship with the university. “The Student Union operates as a local agency under the Division of Student Life, but it is legally its own agency,” Diederich said. “We have our own Board of Governors — we have a separate tax number. Granted, we follow most of the university’s guidelines, but we are independent of the university.” Diederich said that the ETS will affect the Union’s 116 employees if the stay order is lifted. “When the ETS comes back, assuming there aren’t any changes, all 116 Union employees will have to have their second dose by Dec. 21
to be considered fully vaccinated by Jan. 4,” Diederich said. “If not, employees will need to provide weekly negative tests to our HR Department.” Jill Trego, vice president of culture and engagement at the KSU Foundation, said the ETS applies to the Foundation because it is a private employer with 164 employees and student-employees. She said the Foundation is preparing to comply with the ETS should the stay order be lifted. “We want to be ready to comply if that’s what’s expected of us,” Trego said. “So right now, there are administrative things in the background that will set us up for compliance, but because the ETS doesn’t take effect until Jan. 4, we won’t be enacting any vaccination requirements prior to Jan. 4, if that date does, in fact, become the compliance date.” Trego also said the ETS
puts those at the Foundation in a predicament. “It’s a difficult spot for our employees to be in, and it’s a difficult spot for us to be in as an employer,” Trego said. “We will be as compassionate as we can be for all of our employees while being compliant with the law.” While K-State entities wait to see what will happen with the stay order, the ETS faces scrutiny from government officials in Kansas. In a statement released Nov. 5, Governor Laura Kelly wrote she disagreed with the ETS. Her statement cited federal mandates do not consider the nuances found in Kansas. “States have been leading the fight against COVID-19 from the start of the pandemic,” Kelly’s statement read. “It is too late to impose a federal standard now that we have already developed systems and strategies that are tailored for our specific needs. I will seek a resolution that continues to recognize the uniqueness of our state and builds on our ongoing efforts to combat a oncein-a-century crisis.” Kelly is not the only Kan-
sas official who opposes the ETS. Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt joined Kentucky, Idaho, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and West Virginia in filing a lawsuit in the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals against OSHA and other federal entities. The Associated Press reported 20 other states had filed similar lawsuits on different circuit courts. Per KWCH12 from Wichita, Schmidt said OSHA does not have the authority to require vaccine mandates for private businesses. “Nothing in federal law gives OSHA this kind of far-reaching authority,” Schmidt said. “Businesses that do not comply would be subject to steep fines. And to make matters worse, state and federal governments have just announced they will stop paying the cost of testing for businesses, shifting that cost onto businesses themselves.” The article also reports Schmidt said people should be vaccinated. However, he said the mandate goes too far. “As I have said many times, I encourage Kansans to be vaccinated, but that
personal health care decision should be made by each individual and not mandated by the federal government,” Schmidt said. Student Union employees have their own thoughts on the potential mandates if the ETS overcomes the legal obstacles and the stay order is lifted. Jon Jonas, freshman in pre-veterinary medicine in animal sciences and industry, is a student-employee in the K-State Student Union Bookstore. He said he understands why people might be upset about being forced to get the vaccine. “I like how they put in weekly negative COVID tests ... I think that’s a good substitution for it. I can see why people get really mad about it because it’s America — people don’t like being forced to do things,” Jonas said. “Since I’m already vaccinated, it hasn’t affected me, but I can see why people could get pretty pissed about it.”

West Stadium Band Hall to open fall 2022 KELSEY VOLK staff writer
With two tubas totaling 80 pounds slung over both of his shoulders, Christopher Hovis, senior in music education, makes the near half-mile trek from McCain Auditorium to Memorial Stadium. Hovis is a member of the 400-person band obligated to carry their instruments multiple times a week — often throughout the day — because of inadequate facilities. “We get quite a lot of steps in,” Hovis said. “Our instruments have to be stored in [McCain], and we have to bring them out to the field to load them onto the truck.” The West Stadium Band Hall, expected to open in fall 2022, will allow band members to store their instruments and
rehearse under one roof, according to an information sheet from the KSU Foundation. Frank Tracz, music professor and director of bands, said the band stores its equipment in four buildings and nine different rooms across campus. “The talks about the space and the need behind it started when I got the job here in 1993,” Tracz said. “These facilities are terribly inadequate and terribly dangerous. We need a building where we can store all of our equipment in one place.” Tracz said the new facility would be safer for band members. “When it’s outside and lightning is coming, we run,” Tracz said. “The band is powerful, and if you stand in front of it for too long in a small enclosed area that’s not acoustically treated, it can do some hearing damage.” Hovis said without ad-
equate rehearsal space, the band turned to renting McCain Auditorium for practice during inclement weather. “No one here owns the auditorium,” Hovis said. “Whenever we have to meet in there for rain, we have to pay to rent that space out, and it’s not very cheap. This would totally eliminate that cost because we have full seating for the band and a big screen where we can watch a bird’s-eye view of all our shows. We have rehearsal space in there.” Tracz said the most economically doable course of action was to take the existing building in West Stadium and design a plan for a new space. “We’re taking that area, and we had engineers and architects look at it, and they’ve designed a plan and a cost estimate,” Tracz said. “We’re going through the process right now.
We’re waiting for the Board of Regents, which is the final step to approve it.” Tracz said the West Stadium Band Hall would serve primarily as an indoor rehearsal space for the band, the Classy Cats, the Color Guard and the twirlers. The building will also include storage space for instruments and uniforms, offices and a conference room. “With this new building, it’s all going to be right there in the building in West Stadium,” Tracz said. “You’re talking 50 steps, and you’re in the indoor facility where you can store your instrument, where you can safely go if it’s lightning.” Susan Berhow, associate vice president of marketing communications for the KSU Foundation, said the project would be 100 percent philanthropically funded.

Old marching band storage for percussion equipment. “Fundraising is continuing on this project,” Berhow said. “It is not complete, although it’s going really well. We’re striving to hit a goal of $5 million for this project, and we have raised
close to $4.5 million.”

Menard Family Scholars Program enters its second year ALEXANDER HURLA staff writer
The Menard Family Scholars Program started its second cohort this fall semester. Marcia Hornung serves as the Menard Family Director at the Center for Principled Business in the College of Business. She said the program fills a void in the college. “One gap that our college identified when we were working on our most recent strategic plan is a program just like this, so a program really targeting high-achieving students,” Hornung said. “Then we had a funding opportunity through the Menard Family.” After receiving the funding, Hornung said the program accepted its first cohort of 29 students with majors in the College of Business for the 2020-2021 school year. Within the cohort, the second of which began this fall, students take courses, go on trips and listen to business speakers together. “It’s a year-long, cohort-based program,” Hornung said. “We can take be-
tween 25 and 30 students each year. This year we also have 29 students. We have students from every discipline within the College of Business.” Hornung said there is a selection process for first-year students entering the College of Business. She said the program targets high-achieving students and considers their high school GPA, ACT and SAT scores and interviews. After being selected and entering the program, she said students take three courses in the fall and two in the spring. “There’s three main themes that we really center the whole program around,” Hornung said. “They include leadership development, innovation and innovative thinking — or having an entrepreneurial mindset — and ethical decision-making. All of the programming that we do ties into those broad themes in some way.” Because students take the five required classes together and spend so much time together, Hornung said she hopes students in the program build strong relationships. “One of my personal goals for the
cohort would be that they find a really strong group of friends that share big goals together and can really lean on each other throughout their college experience,” Hornung said. Katie Schmit, freshman in marketing and member of the 20212022 cohort, said she also enjoys the experiences and activities the program offers the group. “The experiences I’ve had through this have been amazing, as well,” Schmit said. “I’ve just got some amazing classmates that I’m super glad to have gotten to know. The experiences have been really good.” One of those experiences is a partnership with the Staley School of Leadership Studies for one of the program’s courses. Hornung said partnering with them is an asset to the program. “I’m glad we can partner with the Staley School of Leadership Studies,” Hornung said. “Students get really good exposure thinking about service in our community, learning about their own leadership style and how they interact with others.”

Schmit said learning about leadership has helped her grow in the program. “One of my main goals was to get some more leadership experience, and I think I’ve really accomplished that in the leadership class I’m taking currently as a Menard Scholar,” Schmit said. “It’s been
a very good class for me to grow in that leadership experience.”

Reopening of Shot Stop brings attention to Aggieville nightlife TAYLOR PARISH staff writer
Johnny Kaw’s Shot Stop has drawn a lot of attention back to the nightlife in Aggieville after its reopening over the Halloween weekend a few weeks ago. With a few things closing down during COVID, Shot Stop has been the first to reopen since the renovations. Katie McDonald, a bartender of three years at Yard Bar and Shot Stop, said the turnout was exactly what they were expecting and more on opening night. “We opened it up over homecoming weekend on that Thursday, and we were actually way over capacity at one point,” McDonald said. “We had to turn the music off and turn all of the lights on, and kick everyone out and then re-let people back in.” The announcement that Shot Stop was opening back up was only known to the public a few days before its reopening. Lexi Middendorp, senior in criminology studies and bartender at Yard
Bar, worked the Friday night of the opening weekend and said she was thoroughly surprised at how many people showed up and the impact posting about the reopening had. “On Friday night, we hit capacity, and the fire department came in and they counted how many people were there, and we were way over capacity, so we had to turn on all the lights and ask everyone to leave,” Middendorp said. “But as soon as we had the right amount of people leave to get down to regular capacity, the fire marshall counted, and we were all good to go.” Thursday and Friday didn’t stop the crowds from coming. With the homecoming football game and a Halloween weekend, Saturday night was one of the busiest nights Yard Bar had seen in a very long time. “Saturday night was the busiest night that we have probably ever had,” McDonald said. “I was bartending at Shot Stop that night, and there was probably a line of about 50 people trying to get into Shot Stop and around 150 people trying to get into Yard Bar.” As lines outside of Yard Bar and
Shot Stop were starting to wrap around buildings, more and more attention was brought to its reopening from outside the bars. Mary England, senior in psychology and gender women sexuality studies and bartender at Yard Bar, said she was excited to experience the excitement and energy Shot Stop was bringing to the nightlife in Aggieville. “We all kind of expected it to be crazy, but not as crazy as it actually was,” England said. “At the beginning of my shift, I was supposed to be at the front bar of Yard Bar, but they ended up moving me over to Shot Stop because everything filled up super fast, and there was a line that was stretching all the way around our patio area by the fireplaces.” Unlike the regular bar at Yard Bar, Shot Stop has a much larger variety of shots, alcohol and mixers behind the bar. “At Shot Stop, we have a huge chalkboard above the bar that has around 60 different shots that you can get,” Middendorp said. “They can range anywhere between $2 and $6, but you can also get the same drinks that
you usually get over on the regular Yard Bar side. Everything you can get at Yard Bar you can get at Shot Stop, there’s just more options at Shot Stop.” Yard Bar and Shot Stop are
open from 7:30 p.m. until 2 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. More information about both businesses is available through the Johnny Kaw’s website.

Portland-native Aminé releases colorful mixtape JARED SHUFF editor-in-chief
Best known for his 2016 hit “Caroline,” which reached number 11 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, Adam Aminé Daniel — stage name Aminé — released his second “POINTFIVE” project this past week. The 12-song, 27-minute mixtape is full of colorful beats, vibrant melodies, hyper-pop influences and playful lyricism — along with some trippy visuals. Released with little to no promotion, “TWOPOINTFIVE” is the sequel project to 2018’s “ONEPOINTFIVE,” both serving as creative outlets between official albums.

ly, so now, I get no sleep / My inside’s colored blue, but girl, my Range is colored green.” We reach one of my favorites on the mixtape shortly after with “OKWME,” a love song opening with bumping drums and genuinely beautiful vocals from the musician. The first verse is hyping up the girl he’s with as he raps, “You got real appeal in a very high dose / I know you in the feel, but ain’t many get close, no / You’re Vivienne West-good / Versace shades, lil’ mama givin’ me them looks.” The track closes with another narration from Thompson, this time more sensual than motivational. Around the middle of the project is “Charmander,” which served as the promotional single for the mixtape. With heavy hyper-pop influences, this smooth-yet-energetic track is fire — just
Aminé released his second studio album, “Limbo,” in August 2020, featuring artists like British rapper slowthai, American hip hop group Injury Reserve and many other prominent musicians. His most recent project features actor, comedian and internet personality Ricky Thompson as a recurring narrator on multiple tracks. Thompson also collaborated on Aminé’s first “POINTFIVE” project after the rapper sent him an Instagram direct message inviting him to work on the mixtape. During an interview with Apple Music, Aminé discussed the difference between his full-length albums like “Limbo” and the
“POINTFIVE” projects. “I worked a lot on ‘Limbo,’” he said. “It was almost mentally tiring for me because it was a lot of rewriting of verses and a lot of trying to construct this body of work that really hit a certain, like, line that I was trying to hit. And for this new stuff, I’m just trying to have fun. I don’t care what anyone thinks.” With the longest track on the mixtape just under three minutes long, “TWOPOINTFIVE” is a compilation of bite-sized bops that will leave you dancing alone in your room. For context, I’m writing this review with my AirPods in, bouncing around as I type. The project opens with
a motivational message from Thompson on “YiPiYaY,” saying, “If you feeling sad, alone, depressed, upset / F*** that, it’s time to get up, go have some fun.” Aminé continues with some self-hyping lyrics and interesting lunch recommendations. Up next is “Colors,” one of the more reflective songs on the project. This track sees Aminé use different colors to describe specific moments and emotions he’s experienced in his life. Over a xylophone-type beat and with pitched-up vocals, he sings, “I wanna be happy, like when I find a Starburst that’s colored pink / And then, I find myself feelin’ like the colors in between / Stranger to my fami-

like the referenced Pokémon character in the title. The song was released with a trippy music video starring Aminé, Thompson, Hanan Mohamud and Aminé’s labradoodle, Oliver. Sped-up movements, visual distortion and a 15-foot labradoodle definitely make for an interesting video. Other notable tracks on the mixtape include “NEO” — a reference to the character from “The Matrix” franchise — “Mad Funny Freestyle” and “Between the Lines.” These are just a few that stuck out for me, but I enjoyed the project as a whole. “ T WO P O I N T F I V E ” is available through Spotify, Apple Music or wherever you stream your music, and be sure to check out some of Aminé’s other projects as well.

Love & Football (Fútbol): The story of Nebraska’s Adrian Martinez and K-State’s Marisa Weichel LANDON REINHARDT staff writer
In the summer before she left for Texas Tech, a young Marisa Weichel met the starting quarterback for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Now a junior soccer player at Kansas State, Weichel took a shot at love and scored with senior Adrian Martinez. From Papillion, Nebraska, 45 minutes away from where Martinez plays college ball, Weichel grew up a Nebraska fan but never took too big of an interest in football. Because of this, she wasn’t as awestruck as most girls her age were in the area when she met Martinez. “I kind of knew who he was because I’m from Nebraska, but I was never really the biggest football fan,” Weichel said. “It was in the summer, some people had some people over, and we kind of just hit it off.” Being the face of a historic football program, this was uncharted territory for Martinez. Since Weichel wasn’t a huge fan of football, Martinez was seen as a regular person. “For me, it was hard to
find people who didn’t just see me as ‘The Nebraska Quarterback,’” Martinez said. “She got to know ‘the person’ really quickly, drew it out of me. T h at ’s what s h e
likes t h e m o s t about me, and I love t h a t . T h a t goes a long way for me and is part of the reason why I love her so much. She loves me for me, and not because of the way I play on the football field.” Weichel and Martinez got to know each other really well over the summer
they met and decided to start dating. After the good, however, came the bad, as the two became separated by a 13hour drive once Weichel left to play soccer at Texas Tech. “It was a tough time in general, and Marisa was my rock,” Martinez said. “She got me through that tough time, and I like to think I helped her as well, and we stuck it out. It was really hard doing long-dist a n c e d u r i n g COVID for 4-5 months, but I knew the kind of connection we had and knew it would be something worth going through.”
We i c h e l spent one year at Texas Tech — scoring two goals in eight matches — but knew that being a Red Raider wasn’t right for her. While being 10 hours closer to her family was the primary reason for her coming to Manhattan, Martinez also played a role in her transfer process. Now, the two are only distanced by a two-and-ahalf-hour drive. “It’s amazing,” Weichel said. “I wanted to come closer to home, but he was part
of that reason too. Seeing him in person is like a mental break I think for the both of us. With school and both of our sports, it can be a lot, so honestly, when we’re together, we’ll talk about our days and then say, ‘OK, we’re not talking about sports anymore.’ You have to give yourself that break. He’s really helped me be able to do that. It helps me enjoy it more.” The shorter distance means that the two can watch each other play their respective schools, where before, they couldn’t make it because of their busy schedules. For Weichel, this means she’s become a bigger fan of football. “Now, before his games, I get all anxious, I get so excited for him,” Weichel said. “I’m still learning. I actually understand it now, like, I get it. Defense … I take a little break. My Dad and brothers, I’ll text them if I can’t be at the game and be like, ‘That was good, right?’ They have always been Nebraska fans, but now they can really get into it.” Being a well-known football player, Martinez has to be more crafty when he comes to Weichel’s games.
“I probably went to five K-State soccer games this year,” Martinez said. “I love watching her play, but part of being the quarterback at Nebraska is you get used to getting recognized in public. It’s one of the things that comes with the territory. I’m not necessarily trying to hide, but I’m keeping to myself, her family and not trying to be a distraction in any way.” Trying to disappear among the crowd is something Weichel has gotten used to throughout their relationship. “He wears a hat in some places, depends where we’re at,” Weichel said. “We went to a volleyball game … he had a hat and mask on, people still recogn i z e d who he was.”
Weichel’s ability to adapt to this is something Martinez appreciates, as her being a Division I athlete as well comes with a perspective most people don’t get. “We’re able to understand how busy our schedules are,” Martinez said. “We don’t necessarily have time to
do things that normal college students get to do. We have responsibilities to our sport, which is a big time commitment. It’s really cool. She’s an athlete, and I love that.” For Weichel, she appreciates her boyfriend having the perspective of an athlete, but sees him for what’s on the inside over anything else. “I don’t think of him like that,” Weichel said. “To me, he’s Adrian. We both play a college sport. That’s not why I love him — because he’s the quarterback for Nebraska — I love him for who he is. He’s just such a great person. He has made me a better person. He’s humble, kind … just an amazing human being. I want to be more like him. He makes me want to be better.” Being the quarterback for Nebraska has been important now more than ever, however, as the NCAA now allows college athletes to monetize their name, image and likeness. Something Weichel and Martinez have discussed — joining forces to make some money. “We’ve definitely talked about it,” Weichel said. “I kind of told him, ‘Everyone wants to do a deal with you, so you figure it out.’ We’ve joked about it, but we do want to figure something out.” Martinez also said that he wants to work out a deal once his football season is over. For now, though, he is just happy with who he’s already found with Weichel. “Her presence when she walks in a room, whether she knows a person or doesn’t, she lights up a room,” Martinez said. “A smile on her face, the way she engages with people, I haven’t found anyone who doesn’t love her. It’s hard not to love her. She just has an incredible spirit about her that spreads on me and makes me want to be better, which is all I can ask for.”

‘Bones Day’ brings newfound motivation to TikTok consumers In the past month, talk of Noodle the pug and “bones day” has taken social media by storm. Since late September, Jonathan Graziano started posting videos on TikTok of his 13-year-old pug, Noodle. These videos consisted of him waking the pug in the morning to see if he would stand on his two front legs or not. According to Graziano, there are two different versions of Noodle’s day: a “bones day” and a “no-bones day.” A “bones day” means it will be a great, productive day, and a “no-bones day” means to take it easy, maybe have a mental health day or a self-care day. The definition of a “bones day” and a “no-bones day” is up to users’ interpretation. Many people on TikTok have started to take the “bones day” topic very literally and base their whole day solely off Noodle the pug. Rachel Green, senior in kinesiology and gerontology, shared how she first found out about “bones day.” “I heard about it about a month ago, and the pug just popped up on my for you page on my TikTok telling me that I was going to have a good day because he stood up,” Green said. “I then started to talk to my roommates and friends about it, and it became a daily conversation.” Noodle has also gotten a lot of media attention aside from just TikTok. Noodle and Graziano have been featured on The Today Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show and
many other popular platforms. Many people base their days off of Noodle the pug, but not everyone thinks it is that important. Chris Herb, senior in management, said he doesn’t think someone should base their day off whether it’s a “bones day.” “I don’t think that a TikTok account should dictate anything in your life, let alone whether or not your day should be productive,” Herb said. “Especially based on whether or not a dog uses its legs to stand.” There are a few other things to help you stay motivated and productive as well throughout your day instead of deciding if it’s a “bones day” or a “no-bones day,” Green said. “I try to start my day with the same routine every day, like brushing my teeth, getting ready for the day, making coffee and a bagel,” Green said. “This just helps me kick off my day and try not to have any unexpected issues that early in the morning.” Herb said having a schedule based on routine helps with motivation as well. “Something that helps me stay motivated is setting goals for the day and then coming up with smaller tasks I know I can complete in order to fulfill the goals set,” Herb said. To see Noodle the pug in action, Jonathan Graziano’s TikTok is @jongraz. He posts every day with his “daily readings.”

Maffei finds success as runner-up Job makes history as first Wildcat to at Big 12 Fall Championships compete at ITA National Fall Championships JOSH READ staff writer
After a successful fall season, most of the Kansas State women’s tennis team traveled to Oklahoma State this past weekend to participate in the Big 12 Fall Championships. The big story for the Wildcats was senior Rosanna Maffei, who made it all the way to the championship in the flight A drawing of the tournament. The Atripalda, Italy, native fought her way through the bracket, starting with a 3-6, 6-4 [10-7] win over Malkia Ngounoue
from Kansas in the round of 16. Maffei went on to beat Kailey Evans from Texas Tech 6-4, 6-4 in the quarterfinals and Mananchaya Sawangkaew from Oklahoma State 7-6(4), 6-2 in the semifinals before ultimately finishing runner-up to Baylor’s Alina Shcherbinina in the final 6-4, 6-3. The rest of the team had varying success. The team struggled in singles play, losing in the round of 16 in their respective flights. In doubles play, however, two pairings found some success. Maria Linares and Florentine Dekkers beat Kansas’
Ngounoue and Manu 8-3 in the first round but had to withdraw in the quarterfinals due to an injury sustained by Linares. Anna Turco and Manami Ukita beat Baylor’s Malm and Thompson 8-4 in the round of 16 before falling to Oklahoma’s Sleeth and Pisareva in the quarters. Maffei and Ioana Gheorghita had a bye for their first round but fell to Oklahoma State’s Orpana and Detkovskaya 8-4 in the quarterfinals. The tennis team will look to regroup ahead of the spring season after the fall season ended Nov. 7.

Karine-Marine Job — KJ for short — competed in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) National Fall Championships at the Barnes Tennis Complex in San Diego, California, on Nov. 4-5. On day one of the competition, Job fell to the No.1 player Abigail Forbes from UCLA, but she still made history through the competition. KJ went up against 32 of the top national collegiate athletes. “This is the best player she has ever played, and credit goes to them,” head coach Jordan Smith said. “Hands down, this was some of the best tennis I have ever seen. It was just one of those days where KJ couldn’t do much. It is a level we strive to get to, and it is not easy to get to it in the beginning.”
Job was held scoreless against Forbes, losing 6-0 in set one and 6-0 in set two. This was the end of day one of the competition. Day two began with a round of 16, followed by consolation singles quarterfinals. “KJ will have a quick turnaround and be ready to play against someone who has the same feelings as her,” Smith said ahead of day two. “She will need to go out there and show more in the consolation tournament.” Day two started off strong for KJ. The loss on day one put her in the consolation bracket, where she went against Denver product Anna Reidmiller first. Job was victorious against Reidmiller in two sets: 6-3 in set one and 7-6(4) in set two. “It was a nice bounce-back for KJ today,” Smith said after
the match. “I thought she played well in all four sets and pulled out a very strong win against a great player from Denver.” The victory over Reidmiller advanced Job to the quarterfinals, matching up against Alexandra Yepifanova from Stanford. However, Job fell to Yepifanova in two sets: 6-4 in the first and 6-3 in the second set. “She came up against a better player with a similar tennis style in the second match and honestly, I’m just happy that she found a way to get in a better rhythm early in both matches today,” Smith said. This loss marked the end of the fall season for Job, while the rest of the Wildcats competed Nov. 6 in the Big 12 Fall Championships in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Men’s basketball pulls away in second half, gets win on opening night LANDON REINHARDT staff writer
Sophomore guard Nigel Pack led the Wildcats in scoring with 18 points as the Kansas State men’s basketball team (1-0, 0-0) took down the Florida A&M Rattlers 67-57 on the first game of the season. After allowing Florida A&M to shoot 45 percent from the field in the first half, K-State hunkered down on defense, only giving up 38 percent in the second. The Wildcats shot 57 percent in the second half, but only put in 31 percent of buckets in the first. Still, K-State led 3330 at the break. “I thought in the first half we didn’t keep the ball moving once our set or our first action broke down,” head coach Bruce Weber said. “They’re older, they’re tough. I said before, they’re much better defensively than I ever thought they would be. And they were motivated. They played hard.”
The Rattlers sported an older rotation of players with a fourth-year player, two fifth-years and a sixth year. Leading the way for Florida A&M was senior M.J. Randolph, who put up 27 points, seven rebounds and six assists in the contest. “They’ve got a really good player in M.J. Randolph,” Weber said. “Twenty-seven points, six assists, seven rebounds — pretty good line. We made some mistakes on the defensive end that allowed him to get a few of those, but he earned a bunch of them.” Aside from Pack’s leading performance, two other Wildcats reached double-digit points. Fifthyear Missouri transfer Mark Smith scored 12, and sophomore Selton Miguel scored 10. Other than that, statistics were spread out amongst the team. Starters stayed the same as the exhibition match, with Pack, Smith, super-senior Mike McGuirl, sophomore Wake Forest transfer Ismael
“Ish” Massoud and junior Kaosi Ezeagu. Ezeagu rotated time in with this past year’s starter, sophomore Davion Bradford, who is still being held to limited minutes. Junior Little Rock transfer Markquis Nowell and sophomore Luke Kasubke both saw serious minutes as well, while freshman Logan Landers came in for less than two minutes, which Weber credits to the Rattlers veteran experience. “I thought it was a little fast for Logan,” Weber said. “They’ve got older guys, and he struggled defensively right away when he got in. That’s why we gave Davion, on only a few days of practice, the nod over Logan.” K-State next takes on Omaha at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 17, in Bramlage Coliseum. The game can be watched on Big 12 Now on ESPN+, with a recap after the game on the Collegian.

KNOW YOUR OPPONENT: The West Virginia Mountaineers NATHAN ENSERRO asst. sports editor
Graphic by Marshall Sunner
WILDCATS WATCH THE WATC T GAME AT
22 TVS & A WILLIE GOOD NEW MENU!
Kansas State has perhaps its easiest remaining game this Saturday when West Virginia (4-5) comes to town for an 11 a.m. showdown at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The Mountaineers boast wins against Virginia Tech, Iowa State and TCU, but are coming off a blow-out loss at home against Oklahoma State. They have not lost to K-State since the Wildcats edged them out in 2015 in Manhattan. Head coach Neal Brown is in his third season in Morgantown after three successful seasons at Troy. He’s played for air raid-originator Hal Mumme and spent a few years with Mark Stoops at Kentucky and Tommy Tuberville at Texas Tech.
OFFENSE: West Virginia has a really good running back in senior Leddie Brown. He’s a powerful runner who can run through tackles. He also does a nice job as a receiving threat out of the backfield and is third in the Big 12 in all-purpose yardage. Distributing the ball is Bowling Green transfer, Jarret Doege. If that name sounds familiar, it’s probably because his brother Seth played a ton of games at Texas Tech. Doege is a fifthyear senior. From a scheme perspective, they use their strengths along the offensive line and at running back to run the ball just a hair over 50 percent of the time. They boast the league’s third-best passing attack and worst rushing attack. Winston Wright is their primary target in the passing game, with five catches per game and 60.3 yards per game.
DEFENSE: Technically, the Mountaineer defense is a 4-2-5, but they often line up in something closer to a 3-3-5. They have a non-traditional personnel grouping because they use a hybrid defensive end/linebacker they call a BANDI back as well as a hybrid linebacker/safety they call a SPEAR. Their defensive line is really good, headed by defensive tackle Dante Stills in the middle. To create pressure with four and three-man rushes, they use a lot of stunts and twists that make it hard for offensive lines to identify who to block. Brown seemed concerned in his mid-week press conference about three of K-State’s weapons: Deuce Vaughn, Malik Knowles and Phillip Brooks (shout out to BlueGoldNews.com for uploading the coach’s statements to YouTube). He was also complimentary of Skylar Thompson. The Mountaineer defense is fifth in the conference in stopping both the run and the pass, fifth in scoring defense and sixth in yards per play.
KEY MATCH-UPS: Get Deuce loose: Brown seems to have a strong understanding of what K-State does with Vaughn in the run game, the passing game and as a decoy. It seems like a lot of his defensive focus is on limiting the Wildcat running back. If K-State offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham can find new ways to get Vaughn open — or Vaughn can power his way through being yet another defense’s focus — the Wildcats could force the Mountaineers out of their game plan and have a successful day.
Get to the quarterback: Doege is an extremely experienced quarterback. He’s good at knowing when to get out of the pocket and can break contain and beat you with his feet if you don’t get to him. However, West Virginia’s offensive line gives up the most sacks in the league. Brown seemed impressed with K-State’s Felix Anudike’s ability to get to the quarterback, so expect them to double-team him or at least chip him on passing downs. That might open things up for K-State’s sneakily dangerous pass rushers on the other side in Nate Matlack and Bronson Massie. K-State might also try to get pressure by rushing a linebacker to take advantage of the resources and attention West Virginia will devote to stopping Anudike. Short field: In head coach Chris Klieman’s press conference, he identified the inability of K-State’s defense and special teams to give the offense a short field as a major negative of the win over Kansas. Expect the defense to focus on getting a turnover and the special teams to really push for a long return. K-State’s offense could really benefit from the help, and a non-offensive touchdown could do wonders for the complexion of what I expect to be a close game.
PREDICTION: Vaughn does what Vaughn does, and Thompson has yet another hyper-efficient game. K-State’s defense does just enough, and K-State wins 28-23.

GAMEDAY PREVIEW
Wildcats look to break five-game losing streak against West Virginia LANDON REINHARDT staff writer
Coming off a bowl-game-eligibility-clinching win against Kansas, the Kansas State football team (6-3, 3-3 Big 12) is preparing for a big matchup with the West Virginia Mountaineers (4-5, 2-4 Big 12) this Saturday for a chance to move its conference record over .500. K-State continued its dominance over Kansas this past Saturday with a commanding 35-10 victory at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence. The game not only pushed the Wildcat’s winning streak against the Jayhawks to 13 but gave K-State the sixth season
win it needed to gain bowl eligibility. “So excited for the guys,” head coach Chris Klieman said after defeating KU. “We’re 6-3. We’re bowl-eligible. We have won three games in a row. It tells you an awful lot about the character and the resolve of our guys. When we started off the way we started off in conference and there was always continued belief in that locker room and continued belief with those leaders that we had a good football team and we just needed to turn it around. I can’t say enough about our leaders.”

Baseball team displays talent in Fall World Series CHASE HAGEMANN staff writer

Thursday
Kansas State baseball held its annual Fall World Series Nov. 5-7. Team Grey won the series (2-1) against Team Purple, outscoring Purple 18-3 in games one and two. However, K-State’s entire team manufactured a plethora of highlights, generating excitement for the 2022 season. Between both squads, the offense racked up 22 RBIs, with Team Grey owning the majority. Team Grey defeated Team Purple 10-2 in the first scrimmage and won 8-1 in game two. The offense also tallied five home runs between both teams. Team Grey smashed the first home run of the series with an opposite-field bomb to right field. In game two, senior Austin Garrett and junior Cole Johnson smacked a pair of two-run homers in the top of the seventh inning, Garrett’s two at-bats before Johnson’s. In game three, sophomore Nick Goodwin hit a solo shot to dead center field in the top of
the first inning for Team Purple, and senior Jeff Heinrich hit one out over the left-field wall in the bottom of the third. Team Grey led the stat line in stolen bases as well with the only stolen base in game one and edged Purple out 2-1 in stolen bases in game two. In game three, Purple had the only stolen base. Catchers on both sides threw out runners stealing as well, three times total. Pitching in the three games totaled 46 strikeouts between both squads: 17 each in games one and three and 12 in game two. Sophomores Connor McCullough and Christian Ruebeck started game one on the mound — McCullough on Team Grey and Ruebeck on Team Purple. Game two featured Arkansas transfer Blake Adams on Team Grey and German Fajardo on Team Purple. In game three, Jackson Wentworth got the call for Team Grey, while Griffin Hassall started for Team Purple. There were flashes of defensive highlights with a couple 5-4-3 double plays, as well
infield diving stops that led to fielder’s choices. A couple errors were made by outfielders and catchers, but as a whole, the team looked clean. Purple managed to avoid a sweep with a 3-2 win in game three. Goodwin’s home run in the first and RBI sacrifice fly in the sixth were accompanied by a passed ball in the fourth — just enough to edge Team Grey. Afterward, the team continued 19-Ways with the annual Shave For The Brave event, where players and coaches shave their heads to spread awareness of cancer. K-State is back-to-back-to-back champions in the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation’s College Baseball vs. Cancer fundraising campaign, raising over $93,000 over the past three years, according to K-State Athletics. The Fall World Series is the conclusion of the Wildcat’s fall schedule. K-State’s next event is the season opener of the 2022 season against 2020 College World Series contender Arizona on Feb. 18 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
