Hidden Gems: How 2 K-State students turned thrift shopping into a business
MONICA DIAZ
THE COLLEGIAN
For Brooke Evans and Grace Hunter, their entrepreneurial journey started when they were just two regular Kansas State students who were both enrolled in the PHYS 101 course. Little did they know that nearly two years later, they would both be proprietors of a unique Manhattan business that gained campus-wide exposure. Their business, Hidden Gems, started in the fall of 2017 when Evans, senior in horticulture, and Hunter, sophomore in human development, decided to turn their love for buying used clothing at thrift shops into a way to help women shop for unique clothing at an affordable price. Hidden Gems began as an Instagram account, still in operation today at @hidden_ gems, that features used clothing being modeled by friends of Evans and Hunter. The clothes can then be bid on by customers in the comment section before being sold. Hunter said running Hidden Gems has brought her and Evans closer together as friends. “We started Hidden Gems so Brooke and I could

do something productive when we hung out, and we both loved thrifting, so we became fast friends,” Hunter said. “I wouldn’t trade the world for how the business has grown Brooke and I’s friendship.” Hidden Gems had humble beginnings, with Evans and Hunter soliciting their products to the women in their sorority, but word spread quickly throughout the K-State campus as the business gained traction. Since the start of their company, Evans and Hunter have sold over 300 products online, and they have even held two in-person pop-up shops in Manhattan this spring. The pop-up shops featured finds from Hidden Gems along with other local vendors who wanted to showcase their products. Evans said Hidden Gems allows her to be creative and use her passion to serve others. “It was a great creative outlet to style outfits and make creative decisions with posting and the pop-up shops,” Evans said. “One of our favorite things is to see girls out and about wearing Hidden Gems clothes. We can just remember when we found it at the thrift store and all the care we

The business has been continuously growing, and its owners hope to host even more pop-

up stores in the Manhattan area. However, Evans will be graduating in May 2019 and will no longer be a co-owner of Hidden Gems. “Since I will graduate this May, the future of Hidden Gems is totally up to Grace,” Evans said. “She may con-
tinue it, or she may not. But either way, I will cherish this little business that we created together. I’m so glad we inspired other people to buy their clothes secondhand, and even inspired some to start thrifting Instagram accounts of their own.”

Kansas State wide receiver Hunter Rison faces indefinite suspension from the football team after allegedly being arrested on Friday afternoon. The Manhattan Mercury reports that Rison was allegedly arrested just before 2 p.m. on College Avenue and was then charged with one count of domestic battery/knowing or reckless bodily to family/person in dating relationship. The news broke Saturday morning after new head football coach Chris Klieman released a statement via email. The statement does not identify the reason for the suspension. “Our program will be one that is built on hard work and integrity and doing things the right way,” Klieman said. “We have extremely high expectations of our players on and off the field.” Rison is a transfer from Michigan State and sat out last season per transfer rules. He played in last weekends’ Spring Showcase and showed promise of being a big player for the Wildcats in the 2019 season.

Friday’s marijuana policy debate aimed at informing public
Rowing brings home three gold medals from SIRA Championships
ROWAN JONES
MOLLY HACKETT
THE COLLEGIAN
The day before April 20, Forum Hall was host to two speakers whose joint debate expressed their blunt opinions on the topic of marijuana legalization. The Union Program Council hosted "Legalize It" on Friday with the goal of informing the public about both sides of the debate on legalizing marijuana. Moderated by a member of the National Institute for Civil Discourse, the debate took on a traditional form of debate. Aaron Houston, co-founder of Marijuana Majority, debated in the affirmative — in favor of legalization. Will Jones, member of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, debated in the negative. Marijuana Majority is a legalization advocacy group that is "dedicated to reporting on the wide variety of figures" who have expressed their views in support of legalization. On the
other hand, Smart Approaches to Marijuana aims to inform the public about marijuana policy and advocate for research on medically safe strains of marijuana. Each speaker was given 15 minutes to defend their stance and a 5-minute rebuttal period. Afterwards, the audience was able to present questions to both the affirmative and the negative . Both speakers had deeply personal reasons for their participation in this debate. "I had this deep dark secret that I used marijuana," Houston said. "I thought I was the only one who could possibly have this story." Due to the social pressure of his political career, Houston felt that the stigma against marijuana prevented him from being honest about his own experiences. Once he started to advocate for its legalization, he found that a number of people shared similar stories to his own. For Jones, a Washington, D.C. native, when the topic of
legalization in the city began to arise, he said he was indifferent. But after a family member of Jones began heavily using marijuana and it derailed their education, Jones began to look more in depth into the topic. "I just began to see all these parallels from a commercialization aspect between big tobacco, the companies that are investing in marijuana, how the marketing works," Jones said. Jones is in favor of a de-criminalized approach to recreational use. He said so far the data has not shown a consistent decrease in incarceration rates in legalized states. He fears that the commercialization of marijuana will mostly effect marginalized communities and introduce another form of legal addiction to them. Houston favors the legalization of both medical and recreational uses. He acknowledged there was an inevitable potential for commercial exploitation but that the medicinal benefits are greater than the commercialization of the industry.

The Kansas State rowing team traveled to Melton Hill Lake in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, this weekend to battle it out in the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships, or SIRA. The Wildcat boats collected three gold medals and two silver medals. Head coach Patrick Sweeney attributed the Wildcats' success to good technique and lessons learned in time trials. "We kind of took the opportunity to focus on the technical side of things in the time trials and kind of allow them to put it all together and let loose in the finals," Sweeney said to K-State Sports. "All the boats did a nice job.
To have three boats place first then another two place second in the same race, it's good."

K-State baseball team upsets No. 19 TCU in 2-1 weekend series win JULIA JORNS
THE COLLEGIAN
After beating Nebraska and winning the series against at-thetime No. 17 Texas on the road, Kansas State baseball beat No. 19 TCU in two of three games. Freshman pitcher Griffin Hassall started on the mound for the Wildcats on Thursday night where K-State beat TCU 7-4. Hassall’s 7.2 innings was a career-high for the right-hander and earned him his second win with the Wildcats. In the first game on the series, TCU struggled against Hassall striking out five times and drawing one walk. Hassall retired nine straight hitters at one point. In the bottom of the first, junior Cameron Thompson led off the inning with a single and advanced to third on a single by sophomore Will Brennan. Thompson scored on a sacrifice bunt from senior Thomas Hughes and after advancing to third on a groundout, Brennan scored on a single from sophomore Terrence Spurlin. The Wildcats scored two more runs to stretch their lead to 4-0 in the bottom of the fourth. After a single to first, sophomore Zach Kokoska homered to left field and drove in two runs. In the home half of the fifth, K-State’s offense scored three more runs off TCU’s Nick Lodolo who took the loss for the Horned Frogs. After two straight hits to start the inning, Brennan singled driving in junior Caleb Littlejim, this allowed Thompson to advance to third. On a groundout by Hughes, Thompson scored and the final run of the night was on an RBI from Spurlin. The Horned Frogs got a run on the scoreboard in the top of the seventh off Hassall. Sophomore Andrew Stratman pitched 1.1 innings for K-State and gave up three runs. In the ninth, the Wildcats committed three errors and allowed TCU to get within three runs. K-State was able to get out of the inning and
take the first game of the series 7-4. In game two of the series on Friday, the Horned Frogs went after K-State right-hander junior Kasey Ford in an effort to even the series at a game apiece. Ford didn’t even make it out of the third inning before being pulled after loading the bases without recording an out in the inning. The loss went to Ford after giving up three hits and being charged with five runs, four of those earned. To start this game, TCU's Jake Guenther reached on a fielder’s choice and Hunter Wolfe scored the first run of the game on an error. Thompson responded in the bottom of the inning with a leadoff home run. This was the only run the Wildcats would score in this game. The next seven runs scored by the Horned Frogs were scored in the next two innings. In the third, TCU scored six runs against sophomore Jaxon Passino who inherited the bases loaded from Ford. Three of these runs were charged to Ford after failing to record an out in the inning. Passino threw a career-high four innings, giving up three unearned runs on four hits. The final three innings were split between freshman lefty Joey Martin and junior righthander Luke Hauswirth. Charles King was a huge part of the win for TCU throwing a complete game, giving up just one run to lead off the home half of the first. King gave up six hits over nine innings and struck out six Wildcats. King surrendered just two walks on the night but didn’t allow either one to score. The rubber match on Saturday afternoon looked like it was going to go TCU's way when the Horned Frogs scored six runs in seven innings. Freshman lefty Jordan Wicks gave up five runs, four earned on eight hits in his first start after throwing a complete game shutout at No. 17 Texas. Wicks went 5.1 innings for the Wildcats and struck out

Senior right-hander Mitch Zubradt and Brennan were called on to try and finish this game for the Wildcat bullpen. Brandon Williamson threw 6.2 innings for the Horned Frogs giving up three runs and striking out eight. Junior Chris Ceballos homered in the third putting K-State on the board. After Wolfe hit a homer in the top of the seventh, K-State’s offense found its rhythm and scored four runs in the bottom of the inning.

Ceballos drove in Kokoska on a double to left, followed by a bunt single from Ausmus driving in freshman Blake Burrows who pinch ran for Spurlin. Littlejim singled to center, scoring Ceballos, Thompson reached on a fielder’s choice, and Littejim scored on a single from Brennan. Going into the top of the ninth, K-State was up 10-6 and looked like they were going to come away with the win, needing only three outs to seal the series.

In the bottom of the ninth, Burrows walked, advanced to second on a single, on a passed ball advanced to third. With Ausmus up next, he hit a bunt single back to the pitcher but Burrows was able to score on the hit and gave the Wildcats the walkoff win 11-10 against No. 19 TCU. Despite a record of 19-22, K-State has won two series against ranked conference opponents this season. Next up for the Wildcats will be a one-game series at the University of Nebraska-Omaha on Tuesday with first pitch at 6:30 p.m.

Men’s golf team finishes 4th in Iowa City at Hawkeye Intercollegiate NATHAN ENSERRO THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State men’s golf team rode a seventh-place individual finish by senior Roland Massimino to a fourthplace team finish out of 13 teams at the Hawkeye Intercollegiate in Iowa City, Iowa, over the weekend. The tournament was played Saturday and Sunday at the par-71, 6,884-yard Finkbine Golf Course in Iowa City. As a team, the Wildcats carded a 6-under-par 278 in the opening round behind a 66 from Massimino and a 69 from senior Jeremy Gandon, with junior Jacob Eklund also shooting a 71 for the Wildcats. K-State sat in third place after one round. The second round was a little rougher for the Wildcats. They put a 2-under 282 on the
scorecard. Eklund once again had an even round and Gandon carded another 69. The difference this round was that Massimino only shot a 1-under 70. “I thought it was an OK day for us,” head coach Grant Robbins said to K-State Sports after the second round. “The conditions were perfect for scoring, and there were several bright spots. However, we were only able to get a couple of rounds in the 60s. We are in a good spot going into tomorrow.” K-State’s Sunday round was more of the same; the Wildcats carded another 282 as a team. This time, they were anchored by a 68 from junior Ben Fernandez. Massimino cut a stroke off his second round performance for a 69. The rest of the Wildcats were over par for the round. Massimino’s 205 for the
tournament was eight shots under par and worth a tie for seventh place with Illinois’ Adrien Dumont de Chassart. They were both six shots behind the individual scoring leader, Iowa’s Matthew Walker, at 14-under. Gandon carded a pair of 69s and then a 73 in the final round to lock himself into a tie for 20th individually at 2-under-par. Fernandez had a rough Saturday, scoring a 73 and a 72 in the first two rounds. His third-round 68 vaulted him 18 spots on the final day to land an even par for the tournament and in a five-way tie for the 25th spot. Eklund was even par going into Sunday after shooting a pair of 71s on Saturday. His 75 dropped him to a tie for 39th at 4-over. Rounding out the Wildcat participants was senior J.C. Campbell, who shot 72 in the
first round, 74 in the second and another 72 in the third to finish at 5-over with a tie for 43rd. As a team, the Wildcats finished behind Iowa, Illinois and Kansas, respectively. K-State will be in action again at the Big 12 Championship in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, from April 2628. Brooke Barrett COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

OPINION: 6 tips for being environmentally conscious EMMA SNYDER
THE COLLEGIAN
Earth Day is here again. First celebrated in 1970, the global holiday is dedicated to education regarding environmental issues. Many people and organizations come together each year on Earth Day and put on events to promote environmental friendliness and sustainability. The holiday is sometimes even celebrated for seven days and called Earth Week. While Earth Day is a purposeful holiday that everyone should take part in, our ecosystem deserves more attention than just one day. Conservation efforts to protect our world should be taken every day, not just on April 22 each year. Keep the following tips in mind if you’re looking for easy ways to be environmentally conscious every day of the year.
1. REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE
One of the easiest ways to be friendly to the environment is with the three R’s of the waste hierarchy: reduce, reuse and recycle. We’re all probably familiar with these terms, but
the hierarchy is used to improve waste management and promote a sustainable lifestyle.

Reducing basically means cutting down on what is bought, produced or consumed. This is the basis of the hierarchy — if there’s a decrease in waste, there’s less to reuse and recycle. Reusing is essential to waste management, too. Learning to reuse and repurpose items not only saves money in the long run, it also saves space in the landfill. Some examples include using old newspapers as wrapping paper and donating your old clothes and books rather than just throwing them away. Recycling is the last stage of the waste hierarchy. Recycling isn’t just sorting out plastics and papers and cardboard, although that’s a great place to start (be sure to use Kansas State’s Recycling Center and on-campus bins). Recycling also includes being conscious of the materials you’re buying. Try to avoid
excess plastic when buying packaged products, use reusable bags when grocery shopping and avoid the use of styrofoam cups and plastic straws. The three R’s of the waste hierarchy are a great place to start if you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint and live a more sustainable life.
2. LESS IS MORE
The phrase “less is more” ties into the reduce stage of the waste hierarchy. If there’s less being purchased, produced and consumed, there’s going to be a significant decrease in waste. It’s a super simple concept: buy less, consume less, waste less. For real, less is always more.
saves you some money. It’s a win for you and a win for the Earth. What more could you ask for?
4. CONSERVE WATER
This one may be obvious, but a reminder never hurts anyone: conserve water! A couple ways to save water are to take shorter showers and to shut off the tap when brushing your teeth. Also, don’t buy bottled water; it’s a waste of plastic and you can buy a water filter instead.
3. TURN IT OFF
Another easy way to reduce your carbon footprint is by conserving energy. When you leave a room, switch the light off. Unplug appliances when they aren’t in use. Conserving energy not only saves the planet, but it also

Housing/Real Estate
5. BUY LOCAL
Another simple way to reduce your carbon footprint is to buy locally grown or made products. You’re not only supporting local farms or businesses, but you’re also saving the environment in regard to the transportation of goods. It’s another winwin situation.
6. EAT LESS MEAT
This one tends to be a little controversial, but cutting back on meat consumption can make a huge impact on the environment.
