Local staple closes its doors at month’s end COLLIN WEAVER the collegian

After 126 years of business, Varney’s Book Store announced it would be closing all locations by June 30. The news came in a letter written by Varney’s owner Jon Levin and published in the Manhattan Mercury. In the letter, Levin thanked customers

and employees for their contributions over the years. He also addressed the Manhattan community in the letter, which reads, “Manhattan is a great place and we still hold an optimistic view of the region’s future. We see many positive things happening here. As individuals, we look forward to helping with that vision for both Manhattan and K-State.” According to Jon’s son Steve Levin, Varney’s revenue

has declined 80 percent in the last three to four years. He cited the loss of the K-State Union Bookstore contract as a contributing factor, as well as competition from textbook rental and sales from companies like Amazon and Chegg. “This is something we’ve kind of been planning for – we saw the writing on the wall,” Steve said. “When I had to talk to people outside of the store and say, ‘This is happening’...

to say it out verbally was difficult.” The store’s closure also brings difficulty to K-State students that were Varney’s customers, such as Sarah Kershner. Kershner, a graduate student in architecture, explained that architecture students are often required to draft plans and construct handmade models for their courses. According to Kershner, the supplies and materials for these projects were typically purchased at Varney’s. “We shopped there all the time, especially when it was in the Union,” Kershner said. “We didn’t like the way the new store was organized and laid out. The selection wasn’t as good, and the staff seemed less knowledgeable.” Despite architecture classes being in Seaton Hall, right next to the Union, Kershner said Varney’s was still the place

to go, regardless of convenience. “We would specifically drive down to Varney’s in Aggieville for their selection and layout.” Kershner said that some architecture supplies are hard to find in other stores. “Varney’s catered to architects because they were local and connected to K-State,” Kershner said. “They knew what we needed, and they were the only place in town that had certain supplies.” Now that Varney’s is closing, Kershner said that she doesn’t know where she or her friends will go. “It’s going to be much more difficult to find supplies. Our choices right now look like they’re (the) Campus Bookstore or Hobby Lobby, and neither of those places stock everything we need.”

RCPD footage sheds new light on Aggieville dispute Kite’s Grille and Bar in Aggieville was at the center of controversy last week, when a Facebook post accused the bar of discrimination. The post alleged that Kite’s called the police on a transgender woman for using the women’s bathroom. The woman, who goes by Valaree Love, was then escorted from the premises and talked to by Riley County Police Department officers. Love’s post resulted in an influx of negative Kite’s reviews on the internet and social media. Since then, RCPD has released body cam footage from a camera worn by the officer involved in the incident. The footage shows the officer talking to Love outside of Kite’s. In the footage, the officer notified Love that he was called to the bar because Love had a lifetime ban from Kite’s and that by being there, Love was trespassing. The officer can be seen holding a card that reads “criminal trespass advisory”

in the footage. Upon being asked (by an off-screen individual) if Love was being arrested for being transgender, the officer replied “No, but she can be arrested for trespassing.” The officer then told Love that he would not arrest Love for trespassing at the request of Kite’s. “I’m not going to take you to jail tonight,” he said in the footage. “They don’t want you to go to jail, they just want you out of their bar.” Rusty Wilson, the former owner and current interim general manager of Kite’s, said Love’s Facebook post was inaccurate. Wilson said Love was removed and banned for fighting in the women’s bathroom a year ago. Love claims she never harassed anyone in the Kite’s bathroom, and wondered if she was banned because “someone on staff that didn’t like me” and that they “might have told the management a different story to get me kicked out.”

Wilson maintained that both Kite’s and Rusty’s have “never stopped a transgender person from using the restroom they want to use.” “Between Kite’s and Rusty’s, we have 7 unisex bathrooms that anyone – male, female, transgender – can use,” he said. “Everyone is welcome.” Love said that she was only aware of one unisex bathroom at Kite’s, which is located outside. “Every time we’re directed to that bathroom, it’s locked and you have to go get someone to come unlock it for you,” Love said. Kite’s also published an official statement about the incident on Twitter: “Transgender customers are welcome to use the restroom that corresponds with their gender identity ... Any customer displaying any act of disrespect, or placing other patrons or employees in danger, will be removed from the premises.”

Breanna Nechols, board member of the Flint Hills Human Rights Project and a transgender woman, said that though she had heard of past discriminatory problems at Kite’s and other bars, this particular incident didn’t appear to be discrimination. “It was hard to know exactly the whole story,” Nechols said. “Though we initially took some heat for not responding very quickly to what had happened, we decided that it would be best to approach the situation with skepticism, and after information like the body cam footage from the RCPD was released, we’re glad we did.” Nechols explained that the draft ordinance for chapter 10 of the Manhattan Code of Ordinances, which seeks to protect against discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation, would have prevented the situation from evolving like it did.

“If the motive behind this was pure discrimination, the draft ordinance would help to alleviate that in the future,” she said. “It would give an avenue to investigate and figure out a better idea of what happened.” Nechols also pointed out that this could be beneficial to businesses facing accusations of discrimination, such as Kite’s. “One of the benefits of the ordinance is that it puts an actual process for these claims in place,” she said. “It allows them to be properly investigated, instead of just blowing up on social media and causing hysteria over what turned out to be a common incident – someone being removed for trespassing.” Wilson said he’s offered to meet face-to-face with Love multiple times to speak about the incident. “I’d still like to speak with her about what happened,” he said. “I’m very easy to get a hold of.”

CANCER June 21 - July 22 ARIES March 21 - April 19

Careful who you tell your secrets to this week, Aries. One of your pals has loose lips and definitely won’t hesitate to to go around telling everyone you know an embarrassing story about you. If this does happen, though, the stars say not to worry. Just hide out in a pillow fort and watch Netflix until it passes.

TAURUS April 20 - May 20

The force is strong with you this week, Taurus. You’re very in touch with your inner self right now (whatever that means), and your mind is chalked full of creativity. The stars say that you should harness this imaginative energy while you can, as it could be in short supply for the rest of the summer.

GEMINI May 21 - June 20

Watch your back this week, Gemini. You have a lot of friends, but your judge of character tends to cloud over when someone makes you feel really cool. People aren’t always what they seem. Cats are, though. The stars say you should look into adopting a cat(s) for company.

PISCES Feb. 19 - March 20

Try to own up to your mistakes this week. It’s hard for you, Pisces, but you have to put on your big girl panties and take responsibility for whatever it is that you did wrong this time. The stars say honesty is the best policy for you right now.

You’ll have a bunch of pent-up energy to release this week. The stars say now would be a good time to take up a new hobby, Cancer. Try whatever strikes your fancy! Lacrosse, marbles, knitting, kayaking — just don’t hurt yourself. You have a tendency to hurt yourself when you try new stuff.

LEO July 23 - Aug. 22

The world is your oyster — just this week, though. You’d better take advantage of the good luck the stars will bring you within the next few days because after that, your summer will entail some struggles. You’ll have to choose between working your problems like a boss or hiding from them under the covers. It might be best to hide, Leo. Just saying.

SCORPIO Oct. 23 - Nov. 21

You’ve been thinking a lot about all the student debt you’ll have in the future, but the stars say you shouldn’t worry so much, Scorpio. You’ll end up alright if you work hard. Or marry rich. Whichever works for you.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22 - Dec. 21 Get some sleep this week. You’re starting to look a little run-down, Sagittarius, and that’s not what summer is all about. The stars say if you don’t start taking better care of yourself. If you don’t, you aren’t going to be a happy camper later on — whether you’re actually camping or not.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22 - Jan. 19

This week will have a big opportunity in store for you, Virgo. The stars say whether or not you take it could make or break you. You’d better take it. If you don’t you’ll probably end up living in a cardboard box in the future.

Take a chance this week. The stars say you’re in a good place right now to take a risk all because something good will (most likely) come of it. I wouldn’t go so far as to tell you to, say, kiss a random stranger or bet your life’s savings while gambling, but don’t be afraid to surprise yourself a little. Seriously, though, don’t kiss any strangers. They don’t need a surprise from you as much as you do.

LIBRA Sept. 23 - Oct. 22

AQUARIUS Jan. 20 - Feb. 18

VIRGO Aug. 23 - Sept. 22

Your thirst for adventure will never be fulfilled if you keep up your lazy ways. There’s a lot out there for you, Libra — if only you’d quit lounging around inside and step out to see it. The stars say a good look at the great outdoors would be beneficial to you right now. Besides, you wouldn’t want your summer tan to start fading, would you?

Quit telling other people’s secrets, Aquarius! As juicy as they might be, the things others tell you in confidence should stay in confidence. You don’t appear to be one to gossip, but we all know even you can’t resist a nice piece of personal information about someone else or the temptation to pass it along. Hush.

New challenges hope to push Wildcats higher ANDREW HAMMOND the collegian

After a 19-win season with the proverbial “cherry on top” in the form of the school’s first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2012, K-State Head Coach Jeff Mittie was pretty relaxed and jovial meeting with the media for the first time since his team’s 73-47 season-ending loss to South Carolina in the second round of the tournament. Since the tournament, good fortune has come Mittie’s way in the form of new players and a two-year contract extension that will keep him at K-State through the 2021-22 season. “I appreciate the commitment John (Currie) and the athletic administration has made to women’s basketball,” Mittie said. “I appreciate their commitment to my staff ... I am where I want to be.” Despite the season-ending loss to top-seeded South Carolina, Mittie has seen a confidence boost in the program as players realize that they can get out there and compete with the best teams in the country. “What I have seen coming off of the NCAA Tournament appearance is a higher level of confidence,” Mittie said. “With some teams you worry about them getting pats on the back and with this team I don’t see that. I see this team getting hungrier and I think they want more. I think the pieces are there to do more,” One thing that will rise,

along with the confidence level of K-State, is the caliber of opponents in the nonconference schedule. The schedule, which was announced on Tuesday, is highlighted by a return trip from the 11-time national champions, the UConn Huskies. The teams played last season with UConn winning the November matchup 97-57. Bringing in an opponent like UConn gives Mittie the hope that a big-name opponent will bring eyes to the program. “I like to challenge our group,” Mittie said. “This is something I’ve done previously. I think it should be exciting for our region and I think it’s important for fans, recruits out there to know that we’re going to challenge ourselves in the nonconference. In some cases what I hope comes from this is, from a recruiting stand point, I hope we get some people into our building that hadn’t been in our building and see what 12,500 (people) in our building looks like.” The Wildcats will have a new look on the floor in 2016-17 as they welcome five newcomers. The trio of new freshman include Mercedes Brooks from Wichita Falls, Texas; Peyton Williams of Topeka; and Eternati Willock from Canada. The other two additions on the roster include Lanie Page, the sister of K-State forward Kaylee Page, who redshirted as a freshman last year, and University of Alabama transfer Karyla Middlebrook. After spending two seasons on the Crimson Tide roster, Middlebrook is eligible right away. These additions, along with returners like seniors Breanna

Head coach Jeff Mittie instructs his team while a free-throw is being shot during the second round of the Sunflower Showdown on Feb. 13, 2016 in Bramlage Coliseum. The Jayhawks fell to the Wildcats for the fifth consecutive time in the series, losing 81-67. Lewis and Kindred Wesemann, give the Wildcats plenty of options as they try and play with a faster pace in 2016-17. “We’re always looking to tweak things and do things better,” Mittie

said. “We averaged about 65 points a game, we need to be a better offensive team moving forward this year. I think Bre (Lewis) getting involved with our transition game and Bre being a more versatile player helps

us but we’re still going stick to what we like to do – want to get touches for her in the post.” The Wildcats will open up the 2016-17 regular season against Chicago State on Nov. 11.

The Flint Hills are alive with the sound of music

A couple embraces while taking in the experience of listening to the Kansas City Symphony perform at the Symphony In The Flint Hills in Chase County on Saturday. Five thousand tickets were sold for the 11th Annual Signature Event.

STORY & PHOTOS BY EVERT NELSON the collegian

If you take K-177 south from Manhattan for about 70 miles, you will eventually find yourself in Chase County – the heart of Kansas’ Flint Hills. It’s home to sprawling prairie landscapes, wide

open skies and as of last Friday, the 11th annual Symphony in the Flint Hills. This year’s concert, located at South Clements Pasture, was “a one-of-a-kind event in a oneof-a-kind setting,” according to the symphony’s board of directors chair Virginia Moxely. Thousands of patrons showed up for the Signature Event with the Kansas City Symphony, to see what would be

conductor Aram Demirjian’s final performance with this orchestra. Carrie Lindeman, the symphony’s public relations coordinator, said that about five thousand tickets were sold, but that the number of people in attendance was higher. “About 7,000 is our number,” Lindeman said. When the gates opened at noon, people started flooding

into the pasture’s makeshift parking lot to start their walk or ride up to the main site. There were wagon rides, barbecue from Cox Bros, guided prairie walks, a “petting zoo” of instruments to play, plenty of educational lectures and stargazing that lasted late into the night. Once the sun started to set, people began to set up their folding chairs and tents by the main

stage so they could enjoy the evening’s performance. While the Kansas City Symphony filled the thick summer air with music, cowboys began a cattle drive behind the venue. To end the night, the K-State Summer Choral Institute led the audience in a singalong to “Home on the Range.” “I think it was a great way to tie in with a lot of generations here,” Lindeman said.

As the light faded, the activities continued into the night with cowboy poetry, stories and music in a story circle, a dance and stargazing under the endless Kansas sky. Next year, the event will be hosted in Geary County at the Deer Horn Ranch on June 10, 2017. More information is available at symphonyintheflinthills. org.

A bassist for the Kansas City Symphony begins to tune up his instrument with the rest of the orchestra before their performance close to sunset.

A metal sign hangs above the entrance to the main stage and seating invites patrons who came out to enjoy the Symphony in the Flint Hills in Chase County on Saturday.

Horse-drawn wagons roam across the site taking patrons for free rides in authentic vehicles. Daryl Summerfeld, of Tecumseh, owns Classic Reproduction Wagon Works and was one drivers along with his father and son-in-law.

Carl Reed, member of the Tallgrass Express band, poses for a photo at Symphony in the Flint Hills on Saturday. “I don’t usually look like this,” Reed said.

Technology takes creativity away from children Illustration by Savannah Thaemert

JENA ERNSTING the collegian

With the days of Barbie and Matchbox cars apparently in our past, it seems as though young adults are faced with the task of finding other, more “adult,” creative outlets. For grade school students, however, the need for creative outlets is still out there – just not in the Barbie-friendly world we all grew up in. In 2015, sales were in a slump for Barbie Dolls, as they were for Fisher-Price, according to John Kell’s Fortune article, “Mattel’s Barbie sales down for a third consecutive year.” Why is this happening? Why are toy sales down? Barbie’s demographic is narrowing. What used to be a popular creative outlet and time-monopolizing pastime for ages 3-9 is now only cool for ages 3-6, Jim Silver, editor-in-chief of the toy-focused website TTPM.com, said in an interview with Kell. “Kids grow up much faster than they used to, and they move on faster,” Silver said in the interview. The next question we have to ask ourselves in this situation is: why are children growing up faster now? What has changed in the last 20 years? Technology has changed the

way we do everything, from the way we sleep at night with our FitBit tracking our REM, to the way we learn through online classes. It is no longer necessary to leave the comfort of your couch to order a pizza, buy new clothes or take a three-credit-hour course. And if you get bored, just download the newest app and play it for a while. Want to watch a movie? Log into Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime. Jim Taylor, Ph.D., in his Psychology Today article, “How tech-

Newspapers can be found in numerous locations around campus and the Manhattan area.

nology is changing the way children think and focus,” explained the correlation between technology and attention. Attention is the gateway to thinking, Taylor said. “In generations past, for example, children directed considerable amounts of their time to reading, an activity that offered few distractions and required intense and sustained attention, imagination and memory,” Taylor said. “The advent of the (TV) altered that attention by offering children visual

stimuli, fragmented attention and little need for imagination.” Slowly, creativity is becoming less important to children because what would have been created by the imagination is already on the screen in front of them. The invention of the internet has put children in a different environment where distraction is normal and there is no need for consistent attention. With the internet, imagination is unnecessary and to top it off, memory is inhibited, according to Taylor.

By allowing children to play on iPads and tablets all the time, parents are inhibiting their imagination, attention span and memory. It doesn’t stop there. We are grateful for social media, but it does hinder us significantly by reducing our creativity. Trends on social media sites like Instagram and Twitter influence their users to post what is cool and in style. These trends take away the individual creativity social media sites are meant to exhibit. For the intensely creative people out there, social media can distract designers from the real creative process by thrusting the need to review others’ shares and artwork, thus reducing the need, time and effort required to start their own project, according to Rafiq Elmansy in his Designorate article, “How Social Media Affects Your Creativity.” What is difficult in our world, specifically with our generation, is that technology is everywhere, we can’t get away from it. We can, however, take steps to stop letting it take control of us. For children, we need to realize that we are in control of how much technology they are exposed to directly. So, parents, instead of buying a new app for your kids, you should try a day without technology. You’ll be amazed at how much you learn about each other.

Labor program gives inmates second chance Illustration by Savannah Thaemert

MAYARA GARAY KOSTIANOVSKY the collegian

The U.S. has the highest incarceration rate in the world. This has been a large influence on why inmates have become a major source of labor in the past few years, according to Renee Farris in her Triple Pundit article, “Prisoners work programs: needed skills or exploitation?” The Prison Industry Enhancement Certification Program, sponsored by the National Corrections Industry Association, allows inmates to be productive citizens while in prison. Now, more than 6,000 prisoners are also workers for private enterprises, according to Maureen Farrell in the Forbes article, “Putting prisoners to work.” Federal law requires companies to pay inmates as much as minimum wage, however, after the deductibles (like money they spent on hygiene products) they are left with an average of $125 per month, ac-

cording to Farris. While they may not be making a lot of money, the inmates are obtaining new skills and contributing to the community by doing something productive that could help them build a life after prison. Some people will argue that the inmates, mostly black and His-

panic, are being exploited while working in these conditions and that they might not be getting paid enough, according to Vicky Pelaez in the Global Research article, “The prison industry in the United States: big business or a new form of slavery?” From where I stand, I see this

as a great opportunity for people who made a mistake but would like a second chance. This program could be the motivation an inmate needs to make good decisions while in prison, and provide them with necessary skills to succeed in their life after prison. In addition, businesses that utilize the program do not have to worry about healthcare, vacation time or any other normal employee issues for that matter, according to Ricky Riley in the Atlanta Backstair article, “13 mainstream corporations benefiting from the prison industrial complex.” Corporations that take advantage of this program are McDonald’s, Whole Foods Market, Verizon, Sprint, American Airlines, Victoria’s Secret and many others. Inmates get to participate in different types of labor including farming, sewing and answering calls in call centers while in prison, according to the Atlanta Backstar article. “In most prisons, you don’t get this kind of freedom,” James Scott, an inmate who served more

than 20 years for murder, said in an interview in Pacific Standard News article, “From our prison to your dinner table.” And it helps us hold on to our humanity.” Prison is a place for inmates to learn. This program, I believe, gives them an opportunity to learn from their mistakes and make a change in their lives once they leave prison. Giving inmates a job teaches them that they are capable enough to do something that will benefit others and, in the future, benefit themselves. The program teaches them that they can be more than they think, accomplish more than they could ever imagine, while also allowing them to dream, to be productive and to be free.

Be prepared during midwest storm season CHLOE CREAGER the collegian

With severe weather being a risk in Kansas during the spring and early summer, residents should have plans in place for when storm warnings are issued. According to the National Weather Service, you should have three different ways to get a warning about severe weather. This can be a TV, radio, web apps, the internet or text alerts. It is also recommended that you know where you will take shelter, who will be in your care and what you will need to take with you. If a severe thunderstorm warning is issued, it is recommended to move indoors, avoid windows and monitor weather information continuously. If a tornado warning is issued, the weather service said you should get inside, putting as many barriers as possible between yourself and outside, to the lowest floor possible and cover up using pillows, blankets, coats, helmets and other objects to protect yourself from flying debris. Since Riley County has no public storm shelters, if residents are in a location that doesn’t have a storm shelter built in, they should look for a laundry room, basement or lower floor with no interior windows in the

building they are in according to Laurie Harrision, Riley County emergency management coordinator. “If you live on the third floor, you should probably be making friends with people on the first floor,” Harrison said. Bathrooms, closets, hallways and under stairs can also be used as shelter. If a flash flood warning is issued, you should remove yourself from the at-risk area and move to higher ground, according to the weather service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Avoid going into any room where electrical cords or outlets are submerged. Also avoid walking or driving through any flood waters to avoid the risk of drowning. Six inches of moving water can be enough to knock a person off their feet and a vehicle can be carried away by 12-18 inches of running water. Harrison said it’s important for people to be aware of severe weather when it’s happening, to follow news alerts and subscribe for emergency notifications such as K-State Alerts or the IRIS Notification alert system. Although local businesses will usually have emergency plans in place in case of extreme weather, Harrison said she does not recommend going to a different location or business specifically to try to find shelter during a storm.
