n April 20, Sara Weckhorst and Tessa Farmer, juniors in social work, each filed a lawsuit against K-State on allegations that the university refused to investigate their rape cases, as they occurred off campus at fraternity houses. In addition to the recent Title IX lawsuits, K-State now faces petitions from students, requesting a change in its off-campus investigation policy. After K-State’s Interfraternity Council passed a resolution supporting a change in the school’s policy Monday, some of its members joined Feminists Igniting Resistance and Empowerment to gather signatures on a petition for university policy change at a sexual assault and rape awareness rally held in Bosco Student Plaza Wednesday afternoon. Lain Littlejohn, president of FIRE and senior in animal sciences and industry, said she believes a conversation regard-

Advocates encourage students passing through Bosco Student Plaza on Wednesday to sign the petition to change the policy that will allow the Office of Institutional Equity to investigate off-campus sexual assults. ing the policy is an important one that university leaders need to have with those it affects, such as students, parents
and faculty. Littlejohn said she feels especially passionate about this issue, as she was sexually assaulted at her residence hall
during her freshman year at K-State. see page
Wolfe's record night leads Wildcats past Antelopes
JESSICA VAN RANKEN TRENTON KENNEDY K-State family, Many of you are aware that K-State has seen national news attention this week. As many of you may have heard, on April 20, two K-State students filed separate lawsuits against the university, claiming the university did not investigate their accusations of rape. The lawsuits corresponded primarily with K-State’s existing policy that does not allow for the investigation and adjudication of off-campus sexual misconduct. University policy allows for care and resources, but not investigation of off-campus sexual misconduct. We issued a news release addressing this topic, in which we recognized the bravery it took for each woman to step forward and take action. We want to reiterate that we have the utmost respect for these women and recognize the seriousness of each instance. We appreciate the courage it took to share their experiences with the public. Moving forward, we stand firm in our stance that change in current policy is necessary to provide a safe atmosphere for all K-State students. We encourage central administration to make changes to allow for investigation and adjudication of off-campus sexual misconduct that affects university life. We will continue to work alongside administration to move forward with these changes. see page

RILEY GATES the collegian
Senior infielder Tyler Wolfe rewrote K-State history Wednesday night in Tointon Family Stadium. The Maple Plain, Minnesota, native hit two home runs to help boost his team to a 10-6 win over the 19-19-1 Grand Canyon Antelopes. It was the first time since May 31, 2013, that a Wildcat batter had two home runs in a single game. The record was previously held by Ross Kivett. “Big night,” K-State head coach Brad Hill said. “He swung the bat great, made great defensive plays and just a really good overall night by him.”
THIS DAY IN HISTORY On this day in 2011, Phillip Garrido, 60, and his wife Nancy, 55, plead guilty to the 1991 kidnapping of 11-year-old Jaycee Dugard. The Garridos held Dugard captive at their Northern California property for 18 years, during which time Phillip Garrido fathered two children with her. The 29-year-old Dugard was rescued, along with her daughters, then ages 11 and 15, in 2009.
The game was one that looked over early as the Wildcats jumped on their opponent quickly. Senior outfielder Clayton Dalrymple started the K-State batters off positively with a lead-off triple to left-center field. Junior infielder Jake Wodtke came to the plate next and singled to center to drive in Dalrymple for a quick 1-0 lead. The Wildcats, 19-22, were far from done in the first inning, though. With two men on base, Wolfe sailed a pitch over the center field wall for a three-run home run and built the lead up to 4-0. Wolfe finished the night going 2-3 at the plate with two runs and five RBIs. Grand Canyon chipped away at the early lead in the second inning
when freshman outfielder Preston Pavlica answered with a home run of his own. It was the only run the Antelopes scored that inning. The run was quickly erased by K-State when senior catcher Tyler Moore scored in the bottom of the third on a Grand Canyon throwing error. The Antelopes cashed in big during the fourth inning, exposing freshmen pitchers Logan Wiley, Brogan Heinen and Mitch Zubradt. One run was scored off of a single from freshman infielder Tyler Wyatt. Heinen came in to pitch following that run. Heinen walked two Grand Canyon batters, sophomore infielder Greg Saenz and freshman catcher Jared McDonald, scoring two runs. Zubradt took the mound next.

A fielder’s choice allowed sophomore outfielder Thomas Lerouge to come home and score the fourth run of the inning for the Antelopes, tying the game at the top of the fourth. Despite the struggle in the inning, Zubradt earned the win and improved to 2-0 on the year. “Zubradt was outstanding,” Hill said. “Mitch comes in with the bases loaded, no outs, gave up one run out of that. That’s a great inning by him.” Junior outfielder Quintin Crandall was the only response the Wildcats got in the bottom of the inning with his solo home run to right-center field, making the score 6-5 after four. K-State created a large separation in the fifth inning when the Wildcats put up three runs. A sacrifice fly to center from Wolfe allowed freshman catcher Josh Rolette to come home from third and score the first run. The next two came thanks to a triple from junior infielder Steve Serratore. The hit allowed Moore and junior first baseman Jake Scudder to cross the plate, giving the Wildcats a 9-5 lead. “A lot of back and forth emotion,” Wolfe said of the game pattern. “A lot of just getting control of the game. We had it early, lost it and then got it back. It was big that we got it back especially after a rough (fifth) inning there, giving away the lead. Luckily we punched right back.” A homer from Wolfe in the bottom of the seventh and a Pavlica homer in the eighth were the final scores of the game before the Wildcats closed it out. K-State has now won three games in a row. The Wildcats will look to keep the trend moving upward when they travel to Iowa City, Iowa, to face the Iowa Hawkeyes in a three-game stretch this weekend. “We just need to continue to play good baseball, sound baseball and keep some guys going in the right direction,” Hill said. “We’re going to need some of those young guys in the bullpen to become more consistent for us because we’re going to need them.”

Eating, snacking provides cognitive boost DALLAS CORONADO
F
the collegian
inals week is right around the corner. Students may not know this, but the difference between remembering what is on their study guides or not could be as simple as what and when they are eating. There are “brain foods” that can improve cognitive performance as well as blood flow, which is essential for the brain, according to the WebMD article “Brain foods that will that will help you concentrate.” The article lists foods like fish, blueberries, nuts and seeds, whole grains, avocados and even dark chocolate as foods that can improve blood flow, concentration and promote memory. Tandalayo Kidd, associate professor in the Department of Food, Nutrition, Dietetics and Health, said breakfast, sleep and exercise are among the most important things for any student’s brain. “I would imagine the average college student ate breakfast as a kid,” Kidd said. “I don’t know where it changed where breakfast was no longer a priority.” Alex Seely, senior in marketing, and Nicole Pisterzi, sophomore in family studies, both said breakfast is a must for them. Seely said she eats eggs and a piece of toast every day for breakfast, and she would not feel
Graphic by Carly Adams the same without it. “I love eggs more than anything ever,” Seely said. “And I like to put eggs and salsa together.” Pisterzi also said eggs are a staple to her breakfast, along with
fruit. She said breakfast is important not just for her, but for other students as well. “I heard that if you miss breakfast then your body is going through a starvation mode and
holds onto more calories throughout the day,” Pisterzi said. Pisterzi is right, according to the Livestrong.com article “Side effects of not eating breakfast,” by Shavon Jackson-Michel. Skip-
ping breakfast can lead to obesity, menstrual irregularities, lowered cognition, bad mood and other physical side effects like headaches. Kidd said many young people do not eat breakfast due to lack of time and will have a cup of coffee in the morning and think it is a good substitute. She said protein shakes as a breakfast substitute works, but coffee does not. Pisterzi said she recommends that students who are short on time in the morning fix something easy and quick, like yogurt or fruit. As for snacking, Seely and Pisterzi both said they do not snack often, but they do have their preferred snacks. Seely said if she does snack, it is usually not while studying, and it is carrots and hummus. Pisterzi said if she is going to snack, it is sweet potatoes or dried mango. Seely said she would consider snacking on one of WebMD’s “brain foods” if it helped her study. “I love almonds,” Seely said. “My two favorites are the lightly salted and the wasabi ones.” Kidd said she recommends making your own trail mix out of sunflower seeds, oats, cheerios and dark chocolate chips. Kidd said some people will think they cannot concentrate because they are stressed, but in many cases it could be an effect of their diet.
Students, professor reflect on transition to Canvas JULIANA KARBER the collegian
After a challenging year and a half transition period, K-State completed the switch to the new learning management system, Canvas. The change came with varied opinions from both students and faculty that revealed both positivity and frustration, according to The Collegian article published last spring “Teachers, students attempt to adapt to Canvas.” Now that the transition period is over, some students, such as Kaelynn Utt, sophomore in biology, are pleased with the simplicity and efficiency of the program.
“I like navigating Canvas a lot more than I liked using the Classic system,” Utt said. “It is much more simple, efficient and organized.” In addition to the efficiency, Utt said she enjoys the interactive features Canvas offers. “I like that Canvas offers a way to test potential scores as a way to predict your overall grade in a particular class,” Utt said. “Also, you can download an app to your cellphone for easy and on-the-go access to your grades.” Gabrielle Lintner, sophomore in marketing, said the initial frustration with the program resulted from information being scattered across various management systems. “The switch from Classic to
Canvas was frustrating due to the slow transition period, the lack of helpful resources and features for students on Classic, and the difficulty to remember which courses were on Classic versus Canvas,” Lintner said. Now that the transition period is over, Lintner said she has a different perspective. “Yes, it was frustrating to switch between Canvas and Classic, but now I believe the switch has been worth it,” Lintner said. “I prefer Canvas because I receive email notifications when grades are posted, it displays a calendar option with all upcoming assignments and because it is much more user-friendly.” While some students’ attitudes toward Canvas seem to be increas-
ing, David Lehman, instructor of marketing, said he is not finding the management system as effective. “Canvas is definitely not more efficient than the K-State Online course management system that we have used in the past,” Lehman said. According to Lehman, one of the largest inefficiencies with Canvas is its inability to upload Scantron cards in a way that is easy for professors to navigate. “Our K-State IT staff has developed a ‘work around’ procedure to make it possible to record Scantron-graded assignments, but it’s a complicated process with a steep learning curve,” Lehman said. “There’s way too many steps, and it’s not very intuitive.”

Annual soccer tournament commemorates fallen K-Stater MADISON SALMANS
T
the collegian
he K-State Ed Chartrand Memorial Soccer Tournament, held annually to commemorate the death of Ed Chartrand, former K-State soccer player, took place April 15-17 at K-State’s Memorial Stadium and Frank Anneberg Park. Art Chartrand, 1980 alum and Ed’s brother, said for that 37 years, the tournament has allowed soccer players from across the nation to convene in celebration of not only the game, but of Ed “Fast Eddy” Chartrand’s life. Art said Ed acquired the nickname “Fast Eddy” because of his speed on the field. Ed attended K-State from 1974-78. He was a member of the K-State soccer club throughout his college career and was an avid promoter of the sport. Serving as the club’s appointed public relations person, he painted posters to promote games, organized a 24-hour soccer marathon and helped earn funds for the team, according to the Ed Chartrand Memorial Tournament website. On the evening of May 18, 1979, Ed collapsed in the hallway of his parents’ home after getting ready for bed. He never regained consciousness and was removed from life support on May 20, 1979, just hours after he was scheduled to accept his diploma at his graduation ceremony from K-State, according to the website. Doctors never found a cause of death. Art said after his brother’s death, soccer players from the club approached the Chartrand family to ask if their club could name a tournament at K-State after Ed. The tournament was founded in 1979 and has occurred every year since. Zoe Conde, freshman in marketing and current member of the K-State women’s soccer club, said playing in this year’s tournament was special for her. She said before each game there was a Fort Riley color guard presentation and the national anthem was sang. “Overall, it was such a fun weekend, and it was great how much support we got from K-State and

Dennis Cook, tournament director, has worked with the tournament since 1980 and said he enjoys being able to help make something great possible year after year. “It’s great,” Cook said. “It’s a really cool thing to be a part of.”
According to Art, the tournament is heavily funded through the Chartrand Foundation, a nonprofit organization established 12 years ago by the Chartrand family. The Chartrand Foundation not only helps fund and make possible the annual soccer tournament, it provides athletic equipment to children across
the globe from Shawnee, Kansas, to Guatemala and Romania. Art said the inspiration for the Chartrand Foundation’s program to help children with sports equipment occurred when he noticed children in a neighborhood playing basketball on a goal that was severely malformed.

“We couldn’t change the world, but we could change that,” Art said. According to its website, the Chartrand Foundation uses sports as a medium to provide opportunities to kids who deserve them. “We’re not curing cancer or achieving world peace, but we’re helping people,” Art said.

RALLY | FIRE, Interfraternity Council collect 100s of signatures on petition continued from page
1
“We are collecting signatures on a petition to let the school know we’re very adamant about making sure that those things off campus are investigated because the perpetrator and the survivor are both students and they’ll both be in the space at school, so it needs to be dealt with,” Littlejohn said. Together, FIRE and the IFC managed to collect about 200 signatures on their petition, Littlejohn said. There is also an online version of the petition that was sent out to potential supporters, which acquired 100 signatures Tuesday night in about five hours, Zach Lowry, IFC president and junior in political science, said. The group End Rape on Campus has also been helping students support this policy change on social media with the hashtag #KStateInvestigate, Lowry said. “I think it is up to the students whether they keep ignoring it,” Lowry said. “(As) people start showing that they care, and they
come out and support the policy change and look at #KStateInvestigate on social media and become informed, I think everyone will be on our side. The petition is to show them that people do care and that they want this change.” Members of K-State’s chapter of Delta Sigma Phi fraternity also joined the group of student voices petitioning for change Wednesday, hanging a banner that reads, “Better men take no for an answer,” across the front of their chapter house. The phrase on the banner was modeled after some ideas from the national sexual assault prevention campaign, It’s On Us, according to Mario Garcia, Delta Sigma Phi president and sophomore in family studies and human services. “I’m not sure if we can really call it a type of campaign, but it is just a bold statement because being silent at a time like this is just as bad as saying it’s OK,” Garcia said. “It’s kind of starting off with us here, but it’s something that we hope other fraternities on campus and across the nation can really implement in their own lives and kind of go off from there.”
The current state of K-State’s policy is not in accordance with its core values, said Dominique Robinson, former Delta Sigma Phi president and senior in family studies and leadership. “I would say that it’s not the K-State way,” Robinson said. “It’s just really depressing because K-State does so many great things, but this could really hurt that phrase, ‘K-State family,’” Robinson said. The fraternity’s statement is not only a message to university leaders, but also a step toward changing the way fraternities educate their members about sexual assault and sexual assault prevention, Robinson said. “Other fraternities don’t have to put a banner on their house or anything like that, but I think the common goal that we need to understand and think about is that we don’t accept people who do this into our organizations,” Robinson said. K-State responded to the news of student petitions through a special alert email sent to students from K-State Today.

Byron Pringle’s electrifying debut shows his potential ADAM SUDERMAN the collegian
T
he wide receiver position was one of the biggest weaknesses for the 2015 K-State football team. This year’s team looks like it might have a man who can help make the receiver’s group a key to the team in 2016. Sophomore Byron Pringle from Tampa, Florida, is his name. He came to K-State from Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kansas. Pringle was a highly touted receiver for the Grizzlies and was listed as the 44th best prospect for junior college players. Before the spring game, Pringle even got praise from head coach Bill Snyder. “He continues to learn the system, and he is learning it rather rapidly. As he does, you see the skill level enhance itself a great deal. He sticks out in my mind,” Snyder said in the Wichita Eagle article “Kansas State coach Bill Snyder glad he took a chance on receiver Byron Pringle.” With praise like that from Snyder, it gave Wildcat fans an idea of how good this guy could be. As the spring game began, Pringle immediately made an impact when the purple team stepped onto the field. He was the target for the first three passes from junior quarterback Jesse Ertz. The duo hooked up two of the three times for a total of 43
yards. On the next drive for the purple team, senior quarterback Joe Hubener found Pringle for a 73-yard touchdown pass, which put him over 100 yards receiving in the first quarter on only three receptions. “He is someone who will just go get the ball,” redshirt freshman quarterback Alex Delton said to The Wichita Eagle. “He is definitely athletic. His speed and his strength are both eye-catching, but his attack mentality is something that really sets him apart.” Pringle showed off his speed on that 73-yard bomb with the defender, who had an angle on him to make the tackle, getting left behind as Pringle turned on his jets and took it to the house. In his Butler days, Pringle also got to return a few kickoffs, so during the spring game Snyder gave him the chance to return one. He did not disappoint on that either as he had a 30-yard return to set up the purple team with good field position. Pringle ended with 193 all-purpose yards and one touchdown, giving K-State fans a sign of what they have to look forward to for the next couple of years at the wide receiver position.

K-STATE CELEBRATES 45TH ANNIVERSARY OF INTERSESSION CLASSES
In 1971, K-State introduced a shorter time frame for classes between semesters called intersessions, in which classes take only three weeks to complete, according to K-State News and Communications Services. “Intersession was originally established to give faculty an opportunity to experiment with new topics,” Sue Maes, dean of K-State Global Campus, said to K-State News and Communications Services. “Classes allowed instructors to create a topic based on their expertise or try different teaching techniques or ways to deliver a course. In the beginning, and still today, it’s a way for an instructor to implement something new.” In 2008, these on-campus intersessions began to be
offered as online courses. The online movement opened up opportunities for more students from around the world to take classes at K-State, according to K-State News and Communications Services. “Intersession provides students with time to study a specific topic intensely while keeping them on track to graduate and move into the job market,” Jo Maseberg-Tomlinson, K-State intersession coordinator, said. “They investigate topics they wouldn’t normally have time for, while also having a productive, immersive experience.”
K-STATE’S COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION RANKS IN TOP 50 BUSINESS SCHOOLS
The College of Business Administration landed the 39th spot in Bloomberg Businessweek’s “2016 Best Undergraduate Business Schools” among U.S. public universities. In comparison to all universities, private schools included, K-State’s business college
rose 41 spots to claim 82nd overall in Bloomberg Businessweek’s ranking. The business school offers multiple majors and minors to over 2,600 undergraduate students and has implemented various programs to increase professionalism and success of their students, according to K-State News and Communications Services. These programs include Professional Advantage, Executive Mentor and the newly created Career Coach programs. “Professional development is key to success for business graduates, and we are taking this to a new level with personalized guidance from career coaches,” Kurt Roberts, executive director of the Career Coach program, said to K-State News and Communications Services. “Our biggest priority in the College of Business Administration at Kansas State University is for our students to have successful, fulfilling careers. These programs assure that every student can succeed in finding an amazing career that is right for them.”
