n July 13, 1951, one of the greatest floods in Kansas history swept down the Kansas River valley and into the Missouri River basin. During the period of July 9-13, some areas in the Kansas River basin received 18.5 inches of rain, and the eastern half of the basin received an average of eight inches, according to the Kansas Historical Society. This summer will mark the 65th anniversary of the flood. “The Flood of 1951 was a pivotal time in Manhattan and Riley County history,” Cheryl Collins, director of the Riley County Museum, said. “The Riley County Museum recognizes the flood’s importance to the Manhattan area history.” The Big Blue River rose to 16 feet above the flood stage and eventually covered the Manhattan business district with 8 feet of water. Altogether, 116 cities and towns were affected, 85,000 people had to be evacuated from their homes, 22,000 residences in the river basin were flooded, nearly 2,500 homes were demolished, 336 businesses were destroyed and more than 3,000 businesses were flooded. The flood claimed 28 lives and more than 1 million acres were flooded, according to a 1951 edition of K-Stater Magazine.

SGA holds voter registration drive JASON TIDD the collegian
The Student Governing Association is holding a voter registration drive on campus this week. Members of the SGA Governmental Relations Committee are holding the voter registration drive this week from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Locations are Hale Library on Tuesday, the K-State Student Union on Wednesday and the Leadership Studies building on Thursday, according to Jonathan Peuchen, junior in mechanical engineering and chairman of the committee. Peuchen said registering to vote is a three-step process, and SGA is facilitating the first step and providing information for the second step. This first step consists of filling out a page of information, the second is proof of citizenship and the third is voting on election day, Peuchen said. The League of Women Voters of Manhattan-Riley County sponsored the event, provided the registration forms and trained the SGA members who are working the drive, Peuchen said. The voter registration drive is nonpartisan and any eligible voter may register. Those who wish to register should bring their driver’s license, but they do not need to have proof of citizenship with them, Peuchen said. Peuchen said the filled-out forms will be given to the Riley County Clerk’s Office. see page

Bill McConnell and his wife Marie McConnell lived in the town of Zeandale, Kansas, eight miles east of Manhattan, during the flood. They said they can recall the incident. “In 1951, I was about 12 years old,” Bill said. “We stood on top of the railroad bridge and watched the houses come down. There was all sorts of debris and tree branches. We couldn’t get anywhere because all the roads leading to Manhattan and Wamego were flooded.” Staff, faculty members and students contributed to the rescue and cleanup efforts of the flood. K-State was the only place in the city that remained dry with working electricity because of backup generators. Staff and faculty housed up to 1,000 people without homes, and the campus provided food and shelter to roughly 1,800 people, while students found additional shelter for more victims, according to an August 1951 edition of K-Stater Magazine. Mayme Casady, Manhattan resident, said she remembers how someone opened up their home for her family. “A few days later, my family moved in with a friend on the 900 block of Osage Street,” Casady said. “Our first meal staying on Osage Street, Mom went out and was able to buy bacon, eggs and

It was a return of some normalcy — the best meal memory I’ve ever had. I was 6 years old. After the flood, which damaged everything on the first floor, we went from an icebox to a refrigerator. So some things were progressive because of the flood.” Earlier in 1951, the governor had directed K-State President James McCain to develop a civil defense plan. K-State used
the plan during the flood, which attributed to its quick response, according to a 1951 edition of K-Stater Magazine. Memorial Stadium also became the landing site for an emergency Coast Guard helicopter. The pilots picked citizens up from their rooftops and evacuated them to the campus for food and shelter. see page

Locals discuss ‘glory days’ of Aggieville KELSEY KENDALL the collegian
Edwin Olson Sr., owner of Olson’s Foot Health and Shoe Service, has worked in the shoe repair shop since he was around 7 years old. He said he would get “paid” with things such as new toy cars from the Duckwall store that used to be near Varney’s Book Store. “This little two-block area called Aggieville has changed a lot,” Olson said. “They are still the same two blocks though.” Dan Walter, Aggieville historian, said he would go to the Popcorn Palace, a frozen yogurt shop that used to be where Mr. Goodcents is, as a special treat for him and his wife. Neither the Duckwall store nor the Popcorn Palace still occupy Aggieville. Walter and Olson both said they have lived in Manhattan for much of their lives and have seen many of the changes Aggieville has been through over the years. Aggieville was not always so well known for its bars and used to be a full-service shopping center, according to Walter.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY In an effort to raise funds to pay off debts and defend the vast new American territories won from the French in the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763), the British government passes the Stamp Act on this day in 1765. The legislation levied a direct tax on all materials printed for commercial and legal use in the colonies, from newspapers and pamphlets to playing cards and dice.
File Photo | 1973 Royal Purple The Campus Theater in Aggieville is now Varney’s Bookstore. “The glory days of Aggieville were in the 1950s,” Walter said. After the flood in Manhattan in 1951, many businesses moved to Aggieville while the rest of Manhattan was rebuilt. This led to the opening of a wide variety of shops, such as grocery stores, retail shops, cafes, drug stores and the Avalon Ballroom, which used to host big bands and sock hops before it burned down in the 1990s, Walter said. More changes occurred
in the 1960s and 1970s. Many restaurants switched to more fast food and pizza places. Walter said there were many disco places, and drug stores had started to move out of the area. There have always been bars in the Aggieville area, but they have gotten cleaner and less grungy in more recent years, Olson said. These bars were for students to meet, have a beer and discuss sports and other student activities. Olson said when he

was around 12 years old, he used to go with his father after working in the shoe shop to a bar called Shamrock Tavern, which was located where Kite’s Bar and Grill is currently located. He said he would sit at the bar while his father drank a beer. Many bars that used to be in Aggieville closed down when the drinking age changed from 18 to 21 years old, Walter said. Some stayed open, however. Jeff Denney, owner of Auntie Mae’s Parlor, said
according to legend, Auntie Mae’s opened in the 1930s as a speak-easy during the Prohibition. This cannot be confirmed due to there being no legal paperwork, but the official opening of the bar was in 1974, Denney said. Auntie Mae’s survived the drinking age change because it has always catered to the older crowd, Denney said. Since Denney bought the bar in 1998, he said he has seen a lot of changes. “Spaces sit empty until some college kids decide to put a bar in them,” Denney said. Many people think opening a bar in Aggieville would be easy money, but it is actually much harder than they think, Denney said. Every semester new bars come in and old ones leave. There are still many “mom-and-pop shops” in Aggieville, though there are also some chain restaurants, Walter said. Although many people may associate Aggieville with its bars, Walter said there are many shops that are not related to alcohol, including creative businesses like Sisters of Sound Records and others.

OPINION tuesday, march 22, 2016
Superdelegates create unnecessary, unfair strain on nomination process
the ability to alter the nomination. There are 712 superdelegates of the 4,763 total delegates, meaning 2,382 delegates are required to secure nomination. This means that superdelegates, whose votes are not cast based on the will of the American people, make up about 15 percent of the total, according to The Young Turks’ video. In 2008, “each superdelegate had about as much political influence as 10,000 voters,” according to the video. This unorthodox practice within the party has affected presidential elections in the past and will continue to do so in the future if the system is not amended or abolished. In the 2008 presidential election, the controversial superdelegates helped then-Sen. Barack Obama to secure his spot as the Democratic nominee in his close race with then-Sen. Hillary Clinton, according to the “2008 Democratic Delegates” page on realclearpolitics. com. In the upcoming 2016 election, the superdelegates are expected by many to change the outcome again, this time in favor of Clinton as opposed to the candidate largely regarded as an extremist, Sen. Bernie Sanders, according to Trevor Timm in The Guardian article “Even if Sanders wins the popular vote, Clinton could still get the nomination.” Clinton has the support of 467 of the 493 superdelegates who have pledged support thus far, according to the AP’s “Delegate tracker.” While the superdelegates are able to change their minds up until the national convention, as they changed their mind in 2008 to favor Obama, it is alarming that in a close race such as the one we are expecting this year, a large percentage of the choice is out of the American public’s hands. To be truly democratic and reflective of the will of the American people, this unnecessary facet of the election process should be altered or eradicated completely. A nominee for president should be chosen only by the voters, and the use of superdelegates to alter the vote is inherently undemocratic.
GIBSON COMBS the collegian
The U.S. presidential election process is notorious for being complex and difficult to comprehend, and with the 2016 elections coming up, it will be increasingly important to understand the inner workings of the parties. It is evident, in my opinion, that there is a loophole for the Democrats in the form of superdelegates. I believe the institution of superdelegates lends excess power to Liberal Party leaders and effectively takes power away from the voting American people, making the superdelegates’ very existence undemocratic. The Republican and Democratic parties are nongovernmental entities, so the groups are not bound by rulings of Congress or the constitution in the same way government organizations are. This means the groups are largely allowed to come up with their own rules. It is for this reason that each party functions differently in the election process. While both the Republicans and Democrats use superdelegates in the nomination process, the Democratic Party does so to an extreme. In the election, each state is awarded a number of delegates based on population. Kansas has 77 total delegates, 37 of which are Democrats, according to the “Number of Delegates to the National Convention” page on electoral-vote. com. These delegates are people pledged to vote for the candidate chosen by the state’s voters at the caucuses. Superdelegates, in contrast, are not directly influenced by voters at all. These party insiders are elected officials in the party, such as governors, congress members, current and past presidents and mayors, to name a few, according to the video “Superdelegates Explained” by The Young Turks, a political YouTube channel. Superdelegates, on top of having the ability to vote normally as American citizens, have the ability to use their political superpowers to cast influential votes that can drastically alter the outcome of the nomination process. The idea behind this superdelegate system, first instituted in 1982, is that they would be people who are “really involved in party affairs” that “care about making sure that

Playtime: A learning necessity for growing children KENIA MILLS the collegian
I admit it, I was the one. When my daughter was 2 years old, I had her memorize the ABC song. Any time we were in the car, she would practice writing skills with a toddler app on my phone. When we were at the dinner table, I would impress family members with how well we could play hangman. She was 3. I don’t know when that started or why, but it seemed to be the norm. I would meet other moms at the park barking orders at their preschoolers to perfect their form on the monkey bars or bragging about how many extra curricular activities their kids were enrolled in. It is this perpetual race
to Mars and our children are in the cockpit at age 2. Mark Barnett, professor in psychological sciences, taught the Psychology of Childhood and Adolescence class I took and has worked extensively in the area of child and adolescent psychology. One of the topics he mentioned over and over again during class was how much children need to play, not with learning tablets and phone apps, but with cardboard boxes and dirt. Are we putting too much pressure on our kids to perform early on? Are we scheduling our children’s lives with so much to learn so soon that we’re depriving them of just being children? In the NPR segment “What kids need from grownups (but aren’t getting),” Erika Christakis, an Ameri-
can early childhood educator, said we need get back to basics with children. “I think boredom can be a friend to the imagination,” Christakis said. “Sometimes when kids appear to be bored, actually they haven’t had enough time to engage in something. We quickly whisk it away and move them along to the next thing. And that’s when you say, ‘How can I help the child to look at this in a new way?’ To try something new, to be patient.” Kindergarten is the new first grade and preschool is the new kindergarten, which is a “real threat to society’s future,” Christakis said. Virginia Plummer, kindergarten teacher at Northview Elementary in Manhattan, said she agrees the focus has shifted over the years, making kindergarten more like first grade.
“Kindergarten today is definitely focused more on academics,” Plummer said. “When I started my career in 1977, I taught first grade for five years. What I am teaching now is in many ways what I taught first graders then.” According to William Doyle of the Los Angeles Times, we need to learn from Finland. In his article “Why Finland has the best schools,” Doyle gives his firsthand perspective on the difference between our elementary schools and Finnish schools. Finland consistently produces the “highest global test scores in the Western world, as well as a trophy case full of other recent No. 1 global rankings, including most literate nation,” according to Doyle’s article. Doyle said he learned
from his experience as a parent living in Finland that instead of teaching their children academics as early as kindergarten like we do in the U.S., Finnish primary schools allow their students to play until they reach the age of 7. Until then, the children learn primarily from “songs, games and conversations,” Doyle said. It is “mandatory” for Finnish schoolchildren to take a 15-minute play break for every hour of instruction, and “fresh air, nature and regular physical activity breaks are considered engines of learning,” Doyle said. Mary DeLuccie, associate professor of family studies and human services and administrator of the Hoeflin Stone House Early Childhood Education Center, said she agrees that play is the cornerstone of childhood
development. “Play also provides children with a solid foundation for later learning by supporting the development of creativity, risk-taking, persistence, autonomy and self-reliance,” DeLuccie said. “But sometimes children are treated as if they should learn only what adults can teach them. We disrespect their natural inclinations to discover knowledge and threaten their ability to direct their own learning.” The views and opinions expressed in this column are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of The Collegian.

VOTING | SGA provides students with opportunity to register to vote continued from page

From there, the county clerk will disperse the forms to the appropriate counties. To prove citizenship, a copy of an acceptable document must be sent to the county clerk. Acceptable citizenship documents include birth certificates, U.S. passports and several others. Those who are registering to vote “may email, text, fax, postal mail or walkin your voter registration documents,” according to a card from the Riley County Clerk’s Office. To contact the Clerk’s Office, the email is voterinfo@rileycountyks.gov, the number to text is 785-317-0467, the fax number is 1-785-537-6394 and the address is 110 Courthouse Plaza, Ste B118. Erin Woods, junior in mass communications and SGA senator, worked the voter registration table Monday afternoon. “It’s really difficult to get college students and people in my age group to vote,” Woods said. “This is an opportunity to interact with people in my age group and people that have the lowest voting turnout and encourage them to vote because these issues are arguably most applicable to people in our age range.” George Miller, freshman in civil engineering, registered to vote at the drive Monday. He said he turned 18 last April but registered now because of the convenience of the voter registration drive and the election this year. “It is important to vote because some people in the world don’t get to vote, and we do,” Miller said.

Kent Smith, Manhattan resident, said he recalls how students helped the first responders. “Students were helping the National Guard,” Smith said. “They had large trucks and were busy getting people out, and the trucks loaded up with K-State students to help. They were helping people move their furniture.”
K-STATE HELPS FLOOD VICTIMS
K-State provided food, clothing, shelter and quickly became the nerve center of the city, according to the Aug. 15, 1951, article “Kansas State became city headquarters,” in the Manhattan Daily Tribune. McCain closed summer classes, the 44 departments on campus opened their buildings and faculty members were assigned to relief efforts. The campus dairy and bakery went overtime to provide food for the flood victims, according to the August 1951 article “Flood Compassion” in K-Stater Magazine. “Since I lived at Pillsbury Crossing, I was affected by not being able to get into Manhattan to sell milk,” Marie McConnell said. Cots used by the 4-H group on campus were used to create temporary shelter in Ahearn Field House, East and West Stadium and Nichols Gym, which later became Nichols Hall. “We were in the old field house,” Smith said. “I was around junior high school age. We went up to Ahearn to get shots for things like typhoid. It was so crowded with people staying there until they could make other accommodations. My mother was taking classes at that time, so we had free run of the campus.” Casady said she also remembers her experience of staying in Ahearn Field House. “We lived at 319 Leavenworth St., which got 3-4 feet of water and mud,” Casady said. “We evacuated to the Field House at K-State. Sheets defined sleeping quarters on cots for the families. Tons of lines awaited shots, food, news, bathrooms and flood reports.” Victims and flood crew ate in the cafeteria in Thompson Hall. Staff members at the Lafene Health Center on campus were aided by local doctors to administer free typhoid fever vaccinations. To ease boredom in the shelters, students and faculty helped organize square dances, concerts, crafts and movies. The temporary K-State Student Union build-

ing became the center of communication for flood operations, according to the July 19, 1951, edition of The Collegian. The City Hall was moved into the Union, where Mayor Z. R. Hook, City Manager W. B. Avery and Chief of Police Clint Bolt were temporarily stationed. After the water stopped, the city began recovery efforts. For a week following the flood, the Collegian would only print ads that directly related to people in the flood. A citywide spraying project aimed at destroying all the flies and mosquitos was part of the recovery efforts. Roger Smith, head of the department of entomology, was in charge of the project, which was another way the faculty of K-State contributed, according to a July 19, 1951, Collegian article. A $200,000 Logan Fund and an emergency student employment office was established at K-State to help with students whose income or whose families’ incomes were reduced by the flood, according to a July 29, 1951, Manhattan Daily Tribune article. The Board of Regents and directors of the K-State Alumni Association approved a college program of financial assistance to students who needed money to come back to K-State that fall. Additionally, K-State opened up a forum for the public on aspects of the flood, such as whether floods could be controlled, what the costs would be, how they could be prevented and what would be involved in the reconstruction process, according to a 1951 Topeka Capital-Journal article.
MANHATTAN, RILEY COUNTY EXPERIENCES OVER $13 MILLION IN DAMAGES
Overall, there was an amount of loss that affected Manhattan and Riley County. A Red Cross survey showed that the flood affected 2,251 families, according to the July 26, 1951, article “Surveys Damage” in the Manhattan Chronicle. Manhattan alone suffered $13,394,000 worth in damage. An estimated 1 million acres were flooded and showed damaging effects, with 60 percent of Manhattan under 8 feet of water. Smith said the flood was a big coming-together. “The students and faculty were there to help,” Smith said. “I think students were more involved with each other at that time. The size of community contributes how well you can get to know people. A lot of people put themselves out there and opened up their homes.”

Wildcat baseball looks to stop losing skid RILEY GATES the collegian
A
five-game homestand last week for the K-State baseball team did not turn out well for head coach Brad Hill’s squad. The Wildcats hosted Stephen F. Austin State University and Western Carolina University over spring break. K-State went 1-4 in those five games. Now looking to rebound from their recent struggles, the 11-9 Wildcats will travel to TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Nebraska, to face the 12-4 Creighton Bluejays. This will be the second meeting between the two teams. The first meeting took place at Tointon Family Stadium on March 9. In that game, K-State used a two-run fifth inning and a four-run eighth inning to defeat the Bluejays 8-2 and win their sixth game in a row. Today is a different story as the Wildcats look to stop their current downward spiral and the Bluejays look to continue their hot streak. Creighton has won six games straight and has not lost since the matchup with K-State. The K-State offense is still led by junior infielder Jake Wodtke. He has been the consistent backbone
offensively this season. Early on, Wodtke held a batting average that eclipsed .400. He has since cooled off with that success but is still playing well for his team. Wodtke is hitting .378, has 22 runs and 28 hits. He leads K-State in all of those categories. Whereas Wodtke leads the team on paper, he did not have a fantastic outing in his first shot at the Bluejays. He scored two runs but struggled at the plate, going 1 for 5. Senior outfielder Clayton Dalrymple stepped up his batting game for the Wildcats that day, going 2 for 3 at the plate and scoring a run. The Wildcat bats will square off against Creighton senior Connor Miller, who will take the mound for the Bluejays. Miller has not started this season for Creighton and he has an 0-0 record with a 0.0 ERA; however, he has appeared in seven games this season, including the earlier matchup with K-State where he pitched just one inning, striking out one batter and walking another. K-State freshman Logan Wiley will do the pitching for the Wildcats. He enters the game with a 1-0 record and a 4.35 ERA on the season. First pitch between the Wildcats and the Bluejays will be at 6:30 p.m. today.

CHRIS ROBINSON the collegian
KANSAS (1) VS. MARYLAND (5)
Kansas is the overall No. 1 seed. The Jayhawks did not have much trouble making their way into the Sweet 16 against the likes of Austin Peay and UConn. The Maryland Terrapins came into the tournament inconsistent down the stretch, which earned them the No. 5 seed. After a close call over South Dakota State, Maryland did not have many issues defeating Hawaii in the second round. The key to this game will be point guard play. Sophomore guard Melo Trimble will need to play big time for Maryland for them to land the upset. Tipoff for this South region game will be at 8:40 p.m. Thursday on CBS.
NORTH CAROLINA (1) VS. INDIANA (5)
With Michigan State out of the tournament, many people believe North Carolina is one of the other favorites to win the title. The Tar Heels didn’t have many problems getting their first two victories, but it won’t be easy with Indiana. The Hoosiers are coming off a huge victory over old rival Kentucky. Indiana will need to play the same way against the Tar Heels if they want to win.
