Country music stampedes into MHK for 21 years CHLOE CREAGER the collegian

Country Stampede is the largest country music festival in Kansas, taking place in Manhattan at the end of June every year for the past two decades. The three-day music festival was first created and coordinated by Wayne Rouse, president and general manager of Kicker Country Stampede. Rouse began developing the idea of Country Stampede while working for a Wisconsin-based talent agency in 1995. A friend told him about the Country Thunder music festival, a relatively new event at the time. “He called up and said, ‘You need to come over here and look at this; it’s really cool,’ so I went over and looked at it,” Rouse said. “It was very similar to what Stampede is today, so I decided I wanted to do one in

Kansas.” Rouse, who lived in Hays, Kansas at the time, said he was motivated in part by an article he read that stated Kansas’ tourism industry was ranked as one of the lowest in the U.S. Rouse was able to develop the music festival with the help of venture capital, various connections he already had within the country music industry and the advice of the executive producer of Country Thunder. He was able to obtain the $500,000 needed to fund the first year of Country Stampede within a few days of completing his business plan in the summer of 1995, and he began putting out offers to performers that October. The first concert took place in June 1996. According to Rouse, Manhattan was chosen as the location for Country Stampede because the city was known at the time for being a strong country music market – in addition to

the help they were given by the Manhattan Convention and Visitors Bureau in finding personnel for the concert. “We looked at a few other places in the state to put Stampede, and the local Convention of Visitors Bureau helped us so much – it was night and day, regarding the other communities,” Rouse said. “(Becky Blake, then the director of the bureau) Evert Nelson | THE COLLEGIAN helped us network with K-State Wayne Rouse, president and general manager of Country Stampede, talks with The Collegian on ... we had a lot of people who June 16 from his office off Tuttle Creek Boulevard. Rouse created Country Stampede 21 years ago already knew what they were and has won multiple awards for bringing tourism to Kansas. doing when they came on board thanks to K-State.” Rouse said putting the festival together is a learning experience every year, but that it’s a positive experience overall. “(Country music) is a great area to work in, because the artists appreciate what they’re doing and their hearts are in it,” he said. “I really don’t have any horror stories. Most of them are very nice, down-to-earth people.”

Country Stampede runs with efficiency of a small city CHLOE CREAGER the collegian

Kicker Country Stampede is multi-day, multi-faceted music festival with enough moving parts that to Wayne Rouse, president and general manager of Country Stampede, it’s the equivalent of running a small city. As a result, around a dozen managers and coordination of several different departments is crucial in order for things to run smoothly. “We become a small city out there in the campgrounds, so we have some of the same issues,” Rouse said. “We have sanitation departments, law enforcement; it’s just having a well-coordinated team. It’s not easy by any means, but it just seems like it flows pretty well.” Stampede also hires several interns each year. Taylor Hart, junior in marketing and marketing intern for the event, applied to the internship last year and was not offered the position at that time, but she was offered and accepted the internship after applying a second time. “I went to Stampede last year and thought it was really cool, and I wondered what it would be like to be on the other side,” she said. Hart said she began working with Stampede in February to prepare for this year’s festival, and that her favorite

part of the internship has been helping put the celebrity auction together. “It’s been so much fun getting donations to raise money for local nonprofit organizations here in town,” she said. “It’s going straight back to Manhattan – that’s where my minor in nonprofit leadership comes in.” In order to attract high-profile performers to Country Stampede, Rouse said they needed someone who works in the industry specifically to develop relationships with managers and artists. Performers are selected for each year’s lineup based on results of a survey taken through the Convention and Visitors Bureau and online, and then performers are reached out to in order of rank. Rouse said there are many variables involved in the process of hiring performers such as conflicting schedules and performances and newer groups preferring to tour with major headliners rather than perform at a festival. “A lot of acts that are just getting into the mainstream, we can’t typically get confirmation on them until November or December,” Rouse said. “We’ve been working on 2017 since last year; you have to start it that early because the major acts are putting all their tours together.” This year’s performers include Tim McGraw, Dierks

“We always just make it work and make it happen no matter what’s going on. A lot of my challenges are related to just managing what comes my way; not trying to prevent it, but managing it once it’s happened and problem-solving.” Rouse said educating peo-

GEMINI May 21 - June 20

DANIELLE COOK | THE COLLEGIAN

Don’t be so quick to cut people out of your life. Your personality has two extremes, and if you’re going to keep anybody around, you need to start exploring the gray area in-between. It might be a scary place in there, Gemini, but you’re a bit of a feelings hoarder and the stars say now is the time to clean house.

ple about the importance of staying hydrated while being outside in the hot weather is an important part of ensuring the festival runs smoothly, but that there is always an emergency medical services tent in case attendees do become dehydrated, ill or otherwise injured.

TAURUS April 20 - May 20

Get in touch with some old friends this week. The stars say reminiscing on good times past will do your soul good, Taurus. Just be selective about which old friends you reach out to, and note that I specifically said old friends, not old flames. Keep yourself in check, or you’ll open a whole can of memories that involve some less-than-good times.

CANCER June 21 - July 22

Put your pride aside this week, Cancer. The stars say that if something important is on the line, suck it up and stick it out. Staying rational is key for you right now. Whatever you do, don’t lose your cool. If you do, you’re at risk for making some very regrettable snap decisions.

Regents approve tuition increase across the state COLLIN WEAVER the collegian

The Kansas Board of Regents approved requests to increase tuition rates from universities across Kansas, in response to Kansas legislators cutting the budget to higher education funding. K-State tuition rates will rise 5.8 percent for 2017. Jeffrey Morris, vice president for communications and marketing at K-State, said the university submitted a proposed tuition rate increase as it does every year, but had to revise that when cuts were deeper than expected. “The university originally asked for a 5 percent increase to cover budget cuts from last year and construction projects across campus, among other things,” Morris said. When Gov. Sam Brownback announced that the state would be cutting more from higher education funding than originally expected, many universities revised their original proposals. “State revenue hasn’t met projections, so the state has to take money from somewhere,” Morris said. “Sometimes it’s us,

sometimes it’s someone else. This time it was us.” Morris said the university’s choice to further increase tuition was tough, but necessary. “We would prefer not to raise tuition – we want to keep education as affordable and accessible as possible,” he said. “However, K-State is also committed to keeping up the quality of our education, which costs money.” Morris also pointed out that rising tuition is a national trend, and that K-State was “still competitive with the schools and states around us” in terms of tuition costs. “It’s important for students to know that the university understands that tuition increases make things more difficult for the students,” Morris said. Jessica Van Ranken, senior in political science and K-State student body president, said the increase is “an unfortunate reality.” When facing budget cuts, she said universities have to find alternative ways to cover costs. “(K-State) tried to find ways to cover budget cuts without raising tuition, but it was the only option unfortunately,” she said. Van Ranken said she thinks the budget cuts imposed by Kansas legislation will affect

Graphic By Carly Adams the state as a whole. “Since tuition is rising in schools across the state, I think Kansas education in general will be impacted,” Van Ranken said. “Better education means a better economy, and if our students are losing out on that education, the state is going to lose out as well.” Kansas Democratic Sen. Tom Hawk expressed his discontent with the budget cuts.

LEO July 23 - Aug. 22

“Higher education cuts are devastating,” Hawk said. “I’m frustrated with the legislation and governor for the situation they got the Kansas budget in.” Hawk went on to explain what he believes to be the cause of higher education funding cuts: “cascading mismanagement.” “There’s been a host of things mismanaged with the Kansas budget, and past bud-

get cuts caused a waterfall effect that has lead to more and more cuts, including the cuts for higher education,” Hawk said. Hawk also said he believes rising tuition costs could be detrimental to the state of Kansas. “It hurts the economic viability of the state,” Hawk said. “If you end up pricing people out of the market, at some point they’re not going to look at coming to Kansas for their

college education.” Hawk said the best way for students to combat rising tuition is to let their voices be heard. “When you look at voter demographic statistics, you’ll find that young people vote less than any other demographic,” Hawk said. “If students want to fix this problem, or any other problem, they need to speak up.”

Don’t let anybody get you down. The stars say you’ll encounter quite a few haters this week, and if you let them get to you, you’ll be stuck in a real rut, Leo, and a rut is a rough place for someone as fabulous as you to be stuck in.

Reconnect with nature this week, Virgo. You’ve been really out of touch with the world around you lately, and the stars say you would benefit from a little quality time outside. Or you could just recycle something for once. Whatever it takes to re-spark your relationship with Mother Earth.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20 - Feb. 18

PISCES Feb. 19 - March 20

You could use a little light in your life right now. The whole quiet and brooding thing usually works for you, Scorpio, but the stars say it’d be in your best interest to switch things up for a while. Pick some flowers instead of picking on others. Wear some pastels instead of wearing some shades of gray. Order a soft taco instead of a crunchy taco. You get the picture.

Something new has found its way into your life and it’s got people talking. The stars say it’s a good kind of talking, though, Aquarius, so don’t worry. Just keep doing your thing. Just because everyone is watching you now doesn’t mean you have to hide. You’re happy with whatever is new, and it’s ok to show off every now and again.

Leave the past behind you. There’s nothing back there that you need to revisit. The stars say this week is the time to let go of old grudges and mistakes and start moving forward. Just keep swimming Sagittarius. Just keep swimming.

Party now, sleep later, Pisces. Your friends who are trying to drag you out this weekend know what’s up! The stars say it’s time to give Netflix a break and have a crazy fun night out with your pals (and no, “Orange is the New Black” characters do not count as your pals).

Keep them all guessing this week. Whoever they are, the stars say they respond better to reserved and mysterious than to overly open. You’re a natural charmer, but when you get really excited about something, you can be too much to handle. Chew like you have a secret, Libra. Subtlety is everything. Work on your communication skills. The stars say your future summer plans will fall through somehow if you don’t remember to at least try to work with well with others this week. And your future summer plans look pretty killer, Capricorn, so I would start getting used to the idea that others have good ideas, too.

‘Finding Dory’ just keeps swimming into hearts

EMILY MOORE the collegian

“Finding Dory” has been a long-awaited family movie, but let’s be honest – quite a few college students are excited to see it as well. I went in expecting it to be cute and entertaining, but also very similar to the original “Finding Nemo.” I was pleasantly surprised to find out, however, that “Finding Dory” had just enough creative, unusual ideas. These make it extraordinarily easy to overlook some of the similar plot line. While some of the basic plot points were similar, such as Dory getting separated and Nemo and Marlin searching for her, there was also a new underlying message. While “Finding Nemo” exclusively carried a general mes-

sage of the love of family and dedication, “Finding Dory” upheld a stronger message of persevering beyond weaknesses to find strength. This was highlighted in Dory’s short-term memory loss, which gives her several challenges throughout the movie. One reason the sequel is almost as enjoyable, if not more so, as the original is the nostalgic feel present through the whole movie. The memories and emotions from the original movie are built upon and strengthened to add deeper connections between the characters. Many who saw “Finding Nemo” already appreciated and loved Dory. Yet when “Finding Dory” explains Dory’s past, it’s easy to find even more compassion for the forgetful little blue fish. Additionally, while Nemo is not the star of this movie, the audience was presented with a happier, more relaxed version of the young clown fish. If anything, this presentation actually adds something to “Finding Nemo,” because there is a more realistic picture placed on Nemo’s personality outside of ex-

traneous circumstances. Another twist of the movie is that a majority of it is set in an aquarium rather than the ocean. This setting presented some comical challenges as some human practices are brought into light. It seemed much more realistically funny than the interactions with humans in the dentist office during “Finding Nemo.” While there were many hilarious and sentimental touches to the film, the end seemed to drag on just a little too long. Right when it seemed as if the last challenge had been faced, another, even bigger one was thrown into the story. It had the viewer sighing in anticipation for the ending, but not necessarily in a good way. As another consequence, the problems faced toward the end continued to get more and more farfetched. Overall, as with most sequels, the base concepts of the movie were in line with the original; however, the sequel is both unique and deep enough that without a more intense examination, the similarities are easily missed and the film can be enjoyed simply for what it is.

Research says cursing is healthy for the soul MAYARA GARAY KOSTIANOVSKY

Illustration by Savannah Theamert

the collegian

F*CK! Say it, F*CK! Do you feel better? Do you feel free? I know I do when I curse. Cursing can make people feel less pain, make them feel stronger, serves as a coping mechanism, helps create bonds and makes it easier to express yourself, according to Ashley Fern’s Elite Daily article, “Science f*cking confirms it: 11 reasons cursing is good for the soul.” Generally, cursing is not something that sounds good coming out, especially if it is not the right time or place. However, it has become part of society’s universal conversation. Cursing can be traced back to the 16th century and was passed on from generation to generation, eventually becoming a part of our day-to-day life, according to Samantha Olsen’s Medical Daily article, “The brain science of cursing: How swear words work to inflict and relieve pain.” “Profanity precedes a long history, each word with its own etymology found hundreds of years ago derived from different nationalities, cultures and regions, all molded into the exclusive club of expletives,” Olsen said. You do want to be careful of when you curse because you do not want to be accused of

Harvard professor Steven Pinker’s best-seller, “The Stuff of Thought: Language as a Window into Human Nature.” “You can use a swear word like f*ck to basically ping the emotional centers of the brain and perk up a listener,” Pinker said. “But when it is overused, the word shifts from taboo to normal and doesn’t have the same effect. We’ve seen that happen in the 20th century.” Words, people, relationship and language changes with time. We have to adapt to these changes, otherwise life is just going to pass right by us and forget that we are part of it. In my opinion, cursing is healthy. It keeps you from bottling things up and allows you to say what you feel when you feel it. However, it is important to know when to use that language and when to be more serious. My mom always told me a princess should never let bad words like that out of her mouth, which is why I will never be one. I want to be free to say whatever I feel like, especially when I hurt my pinky toe on the coffee table.

From the President’s Desk JESSICA VAN RANKEN & TRENTON KENNEDY the collegian

Happy summer, Wildcats! In the past few weeks we have been busy transitioning into our summer internships, which both happen to be in Manhattan, catching up on some sleep and enjoying another productive summer! Our duties as student body president and vice president are far from taking a break. We are working diligently to get a lot accomplished, including working to make progress on combating sexual violence on our campus as it relates to policy matters and educational programs for students, preparing for both of our roles as committee chairs during the academic year and communicating with cabinet members to discuss plans for the upcoming semester. This summer also includes Kansas Board of Regents meetings in which Jessica, and all the other student body presidents, plan to attend. This committee of student body presidents, or the Students’ Advisory Committee convene at these regent meetings, as well as conference calls, to discuss future plans to come together for the greater good of higher education in Kansas. At the June

• Office - Kedzie 116 •

meeting, the tuition proposals from each university were approved, and K-State, like all the other universities, will see a rise in tuition. K-State’s tuition increase will be 5.8 percent. This increased burden on students to fund the university is the outcome of the state government’s budget cuts to higher education. Additionally, we have the opportunity to speak to students every weekend at Orientation and Enrollment! We are grateful to have the opportunity to talk to future Wildcats. We focus on our specific K-State experiences and the opportunities that we have found in the Student Governing Association, while acknowledging the benefits of joining any of the incredible, and numerous, organizations that may fit a student’s personalities and interests. K-State is great in that aspect because it is home to hundreds of student organizations that are always welcoming new members. Finally, we get to see, with our own eyes, the work on the K-State Student Union and the progress it is making to be completely renovated! It has been incredible to see different aspects of it change week by week, and it is really coming together. We hope you are all enjoying your summer and we look forward to coming back in the fall for another awesome semester!

K-State prepares for Rio Games, reflects on NCAA ANDREW HAMMOND the collegian

In the aftermath of another successful K-State track and field season, you would think head coach Cliff Rovelto would get a chance to take some time off for a lengthy vacation – but his country is calling him. Rovelto will be a part of the Team USA track and field coaching staff for the 2016 Rio Games that includes former Wildcat Erik Kynard and new Olympic hopefuls, like sophomore Terrell Smith. Before Rovelto departs for the training camp in Houston, he had a chance to reflect on the 2015-16 K-State track season. “We’ve had a pretty successful year,” Rovelto said. “The women were top 10 in both indoor and outdoor and nationals and among the top three at the Big 12 Championships.” Although the women’s team did well, Rovelto was just as impressed with the men’s team who exceeded expectations. “The men actually surpassed their rankings going into the national indoor and outdoor championships, so we were very pleased with that,” he said. “They did a really good job – great job in fact – at the conference championships. The placings were higher than what we thought, but the real key is we scored significantly more points than we had anticipated, so the guys – both indoors and outdoors really did a wonderful job.” Now that Rovelto has finished with K-State’s season, he is transitioning to Team USA – where he’s worked with nine different U.S. national teams. His trip to Rio will be his 10th. Although the coaching is the same in some respects, the demand and time requirements of the Olympic team make this a much different experience. “I’ve got to report to training camp at Prairie View on the 23rd of July, I believe,” Rovelto

K-State Track and Field Head Coach Cliff Rovelto on May 7. said. “Go to Rio on the second (of August) and won’t return till the 23rd, so the time commitment is far greater for the Olympic games than it is for the World Championships. But our duties are still the same, there’s not much difference ... I’m on the men’s staff; we’re there to assist the athletes any way you can.” Rovelto also discussed the shortcomings that some members of the 2016 U.S. track and field team may face as the games approach. “Hopefully a majority of their personal coaches are able to be there, so really you’re just there helping their personal coaches with anything they need in dealing with the athletes,” Rovelto said. “But oftentimes their personal coach can’t be there for 3-4 weeks; they just can’t afford to do that, they’ve got day jobs. So a lot of the workout sessions that the athletes do, the coaches may not be there. Having a comfort level with the staff is pretty important, so the fact that I know a lot of those athletes pretty well makes it

a little bit easier dealing with them and feeling comfortable with me watching whatever’s going on.” One athlete that Rovelto will have his eye on in Rio doesn’t wear the red, white and blue of the U.S. but wears the blue and gold of Barbados — senior Akela Jones. At the NCAA’s, Jones competed in the fifth heptathlon of

her career and led the heptathlon as she headed into the final event – the 800-meter race. Jones finished eighth to the shocked crowd in Eugene, Oregon. “I think it was unfortunately an accumulation of things,” Rovelto said. “There is not anyone that really appreciates what she has done given what her back-

ground is. That was the fifth heptathlon of her life. Most of those girls have done five before they enter college and three or four every year since then. She is just so inexperienced. Some of the things that she has done have literally never been done before. No one in the history of the world has ever scored 6,000 points in their first heptathlon.” Rovelto went on to explain that while many of Jones’ athletic exploits are impressive, there’s still some newness to what she does on the track. “I think the expectation of her is beyond what is really fair,” Rovelto said. “So many of these events are so new to her that we have to focus more on technique than we would with someone who is more experienced. It was not lack of fitness or lack of preparation on her part in any way, shape or form. I think it was the circumstances that got to be a little bit overwhelming.” Jones is taking this pre-Olym-

pic prep session to get mentally stronger, so that she’s able to handle a big moment like this if it’s presented to her in Rio later on this summer. “The physical conditioning is there,” Jones said to K-State Sports. “I’m getting back in my groove. In terms of being mentally strong, I’m working on it. It’s a work in progress with every major improvement and every personal investment you make. I continue to have to build a bigger mental capacity. I’m working on it.” Jones has also employed a new approach into her already extensive training that’s looking to give her a mental edge heading into Rio. “I’ve been watching videos, I’ve been watching movies and I’m just trying to work on my mental phase,” Jones said. “I’ve done everything I’m supposed to do so it comes down to my heart. So I’m working on those things because everything else is in place.”
