Student body president endures stress; desires to better community

While a value stock with some major growth potential seems to be an impossible find, Standard Motor Products Inc. is slowly making its way into small-cap funds all over Wall Street.

to a $970 million market cap.

It has appreciated along with the automotive industry since its beginning, until the 2008 economic downturn. Standard ended up selling its headquarters for $40.6 million and moving to Independence, Kansas.

Luckily, the business rebounded quickly and has been rising steadily ever since.

KAITLYN COTTON THE COLLEGIAN

Last fall, Jessica Van Ranken, student body president and senior in political science, and her running mate Trenton Kennedy, junior in entrepreneurship, endured a long semester of decisions and unexpected problems before winning student body president and vice president the following March.

“The campaign was a really exciting time,” Van Ranken said. “I think anytime you are campaigning for something it is a pretty fast-paced environment with a lot going on. We always

kind of based our decision of what issues we would tackle on whether the issue would be something we would want to stay up until 4 a.m. working on. Those are the kinds of things that would drive us to keep going.”

It is the sheer dedication and passion for improving the community that Van Ranken said she believes is what inspired her to pursue a leadership role at K-State.

Ranken is from the small town of Lindsborg, Kansas, with a population of roughly 3,000 people, according to the Lindsborg city website.

“The atmosphere I grew up in where the people were very invested in the commu-

nity was a big influence on my desire to hold a leadership position at K-State,” Van Ranken said. “It was a natural inclination to be involved in my community and to serve others around me.”

Despite her hectic schedule, it is clear that K-State means more to her than just a place to get an education, and Van Ranken said she knew it the moment she visited.

“When I came to K-State, I just saw it as a community that I could see myself being a part of and really enjoying and being able to impact,” Van Ranken said.

While the stress and unknowns of holding such a large role in the K-State community can sometimes be overwhelming, Van Ranken said she has learned to manage her stress better by tackling issues one by one and still making sure to make time for the other organizations she is involved in.

Aside from being the student body president, Van Ranken is involved in Blue Key Honor Society and Sigma Kappa sorority. see page

This small-cap, yet significant company went from $30 to $45.50 in a short five months, which qualifies it as a growth stock. Standard has a forward price-to-earnings

ratio of 15.30, while the auto part industry averages at about 15.44. The company is slightly undervalued according to this data. If Standard was much lower than the average forward PE ratio, then there would be reason for concern, but the company is keeping up with the industry. This is a perfect time to buy because the company will only keep growing.

A price-to-sales ratio of 0.99 is another sign that Standard is undervalued and will only keep growing. The ratio shows how much an investor is willing to pay for $1 in sales. In this case, investors are willing to pay 99 cents for every dollar made.

The last great thing about Standard is its dividend yield at 1.5 percent. The average for the auto part industry is sitting at 1.6 percent, which means the company is right on par with how the industry is doing.

There is no need for concern with the 0.1 percent difference since that means Standard is investing 0.1 percent more back into their company than

their competitors in order to keep growing.

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS FOR STUDENTS

Why should you invest in Standard Motor Products?

The automotive industry isn’t going to plummet anytime soon, and if cars keep selling, then auto parts need to be made to keep up with orders.

This industry is so stable it could be in your parents 401k fund. Not only is it a sure gain, one share is only $45, which fits well into a college student’s tight budget. Standard is gaining credit on Wall Street but that doesn’t mean you can’t afford it. Standard Motor Products is a strong buy from all angles.

Despite struggles, vice president seeks to make voices heard I go to for advice. He’s got a very close connection to Kansas, and I love Kansas. This is why I’ve chosen to serve at K-State.”

NICHOLAS CADY THE COLLEGIAN

T

rent Kennedy, junior in entrepreneurship and political science, was elected as the student body vice president in last spring’s Student Governing Association elections, despite having a full plate in his personal life.

“My father passed away during the summer of 2015, and he’d only been dead for a month and a half when I started the campaign,” Kennedy said. “It was interesting compartmentalizing my stress from school, my stress from the campaign and the grieving process, and trying to make sure that they didn’t become a jumbled, chaotic mess of emotions.”

Family loss was not the sole source of difficulty in Kennedy’s life at this time, as he also decided to reveal details of his sexual orientation to his loved ones.

“Right around the time that my dad passed away, I also came out to my friends and family,” he said. “It was interesting to navigate the waters of being openly out as gay to my friends, family and fraternity. It was all unchartered territory, but I had an amazing grief counselor and support system.”

Kennedy did not have a clear goal to become the student body vice president. When asked to be running mate with Jessica Van Ranken, student body president and senior in political science, Kennedy was taken by surprise.

“I never really thought ‘Hey, I want to run for student body vice president,’” Kennedy said. “I never had that on my bucket list.

When (Van Ranken) asked me, I thought we were meeting to discuss details of an internship, but to my surprise she immediately asked me if I would run as her vice president. I said yes, and the rest is history.”

THE CAMPAIGN

Kennedy’s current position as vice president was not won without issue. The campaign culminated during the end of the spring 2016 semester and was a challenge until the end. The final weeks of Van Ranken and Ken-

issues that came about during the campaign, that it was challenging to get our message across during the election, and even after we’d actually won.”

Kennedy said he has left the challenges of the campaign in the past, and now focuses on the role of his office.

“We don’t really talk about the campaign anymore,” Kenne-

I said yes, and the rest is history.

“People were so tied up into these

dy said. “It’s like emotional trauma, and I get a weird feeling in my stomach just talking about it.

Those last two weeks were really the biggest learning experience

I’ve ever had. The nature of a campaign is not really knowing if what you’re doing is right. It was a lot of questioning myself, and learning to be okay with the discomfort of not having it all figured out.”

WORKING FOR CONGRESS

Kennedy is from Frankfort, Kansas, a rural northern Kansas community with a population of 700. Kennedy credits his origins in leadership to Frankfort and the people who live there.

“I was really involved in the community,” Kennedy said. “Everyone knows everyone there, and we all treat each other like family.

I just knew that wherever I went to school that I wanted to get involved in a similar way and try to make an impact.”

Although Kennedy has never held a position such as this before, he was no stranger to politics. As a high school student, Kennedy spent a semester in Washington, D.C., serving as a Senate page.

“I spent from January to July of my junior year of high school with the Senate in Washington, D.C.,” Kennedy said. “I attended private school from 6-8 in the morning, and then worked in the Senate all day.”

The experience cemented Kennedy’s interest in becoming a public servant.

“I’d been involved in public service before D.C., but that’s really what made it real, made it applicable,” he said. “I had the chance to watch every member of Congress, and see how they interacted with each other and with staff, and also how each of them managed the art of compromise.”

Kennedy found inspiration in several senators, including Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran. Kennedy said the senator left an impact on his views of policy on a public and personal level.

“Jerry Moran has been the most influential person in my life,” Kennedy said. “I had the chance to have a very personal relationship with him, and he’s someone

Recent budget cuts have left some Kansas State students unsatisfied with the work of state legislators. Dallas Belmont, junior in economics, said the coming election is an important time for the university to modify the level of state influence it receives.

“The economic policies of the legislators are not working out the way they wanted them to,” Belmont said. “They should be replaced. I think that the university would be better off with less influence from these legislators, and more input from student government.”

Kennedy said he thinks it is important for students to understand both the limits and unique opportunities that the platforms of student body president and vice president allow.

“In reality, students like President Van Ranken and I are charged with real-life decisions that impact every student,” Kennedy said. “(Van Ranken) and I have influence in the tuition and fees strategy committee. It’s not a question of power, but a question of voice, and I’d like to think that the president and I have a massive voice.”

Kennedy said although he finds his voice as vice president to have influence, he still faces restrictions.

“State legislation has reminded us that at the end of the day, the legislators have all the power,” he said. “But I’d like to think that we are using our voice to translate the wants and needs that we feel as students, so that these students with smaller voices can be heard.”

Kennedy said he plans to continue to take on the challenges of his public office at K-State through the difficulties that may arise.

“I really love being the punching bag,” Kennedy said. “I knew K-State was where I wanted to be when I realized the value of student voice that K-State holds.”

Fritz approaches 300 wins going into Wildcat Classic AVERY OSEN

THE COLLEGIAN

F

or 16th-year Kansas State volleyball head coach Suzie Fritz, this weekend is just another match and a chance for her team to improve early in the season.

But there is a bit more significance to these three games when K-State hosts the Wildcat Classic as Mississippi State, Miami and Loyola come to Manhattan.

Fritz sits just one win shy of 300 in her career as head coach at K-State while the volleyball program is at 799 wins in their history as well.

“I haven’t even thought about that a little,” Fritz said with a grin. “I just learned about it last week, but in my mind that win is just the next one.”

Fritz did comment, however, that many people have contributed to these millstones.

“I don’t want to dismiss the fact that there were an enormous amount of people that have gone through and had an impact on that,” Fritz said. “A far bigger impact than I have had on it, so this is not my accomplishment, but a cumulative effort over a number of years with lots of people.”

Some of those people being players and coaches on the team currently, will gear up for three matches over the weekend.

The Wildcats will use lots of depth this season after returning everyone from last year, which can help when they have more than one match in a single day and three in two days like the ones coming up.

“It’s hard to play so many matches, but this is where our depth should help us,” Fritz said. “Even if you use a lot of your depth you still have to manage fatigue. We are now over a month in on training and we have just stay healthy, which is a big part is being good.”

Senior middle blocker Katie Reininger appeared to hurt her ankle this past weekend in a match against Georgia Tech.

She said she is day-to-day right now, but is getting better.

“It was just a little sprain so I should be back in no time, but I’m not sure when yet,” Reininger said. “We want to make sure it’s fully healed since this is my last season, and I don’t want to hurt it again in the preseason.”

The Wildcats won the first two sets in that Georgia Tech match, before dropping the next two, but pulled out the win

The Kansas State volleyball team huddles during a timeout in Bramlage Coliseum on Sept. 3. in five sets.

“I feel so good about this team because we are so deep and players stepped up when I went down, which was awesome,” Reininger said. “I’ve had a lot of injuries in my career, but it still is hard.”

The Wildcats are coming off a 2-1 weekend with wins over Georgia Tech and Tennessee State inside Bramlage Coliseum and are now 4-2 this season.

“I think we have a lot of room to grow and we are find-

ing ways to win, which is always encouraging, but I don’t think it’s always pretty,” Fritz said.

“We are winning points when we have to, but we aren’t playing clean enough.”

Fritz said she knows her team can get a lot better, which is good with lots of season left.

“I think if you ask a majority of coaches if they can improve, they would always say yes,” Fritz said. “I think there is still a lot in us, but I feel we are working on things we know we need to. We are building on our strengths and working on our weaknesses right now.”

One Wildcat who has had a good start to her season is senior outside hitter Brooke Sassin, who leads the team in kills with 76 and averages almost 3.5 kills per set.

“I go in to every game with a fresh mindset and I think that has helped me,” Sassin said.

“I’ve tried to be adaptable and a short mindset is something that has definitely come with age because I didn’t think like that as a freshman or sophomore.”

Sassin said she thinks there are high expectations this season, but the team is just working to improve.

“Since it’s my senior season I know this is it for me, but the season is still in the early stag-

Top 10 Big 12 offensive power rankings: Week 2 SCOTT POPP

THE COLLEGIAN

1. PATRICK MAHOMES II, JUNIOR QB, TEXAS TECH

Mahomes had a very good start to the season in Texas Tech’s season-opening 69-17 win over Stephen F Austin. While it was against inferior competition, Mahomes collected 483 yards through the air and another 57 on the ground, totaling six touchdowns. If Mahomes can keep up this pace, he could be a dark horse candidate for the Heisman Trophy.

2. BAKER MAYFIELD, JUNIOR QB, OKLAHOMA Mayfield had an outstanding

game on Saturday despite the upset loss to Houston. Mayfield had 323 passing yards and two touchdowns.

Mayfield’s Heisman hopes are still high despite the loss, though he’ll have to navigate the Sooners through a tough stretch of games ahead to remain in contention.

3. D’ONTA FOREMAN, JUNIOR RB, TEXAS

Foreman was superb in the Longhorns’ upset victory over Notre Dame on Sunday night. Foreman rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown against the Fighting Irish. Whenever the Longhorns needed some tough yards, Foreman was their guy, bulldozing his way through the Fighting Irish defense. Foreman is going to play a big

role in whether Texas’ impressive play continues throughout the season.

4. TYRONE SWOOPES, SENIOR QB, TEXAS

Another huge reason Texas was victorious on Sunday was the play of Swoopes. His numbers from the game won’t blow you away, as he had zero passing yards and 53 rushing yards.

But what those numbers don’t show you is the way he took over in the red zone, especially in overtime, amassing three rushing touchdowns in the game. What was so impressive was his ability to lead an effective rushing attack when everybody in the stadium knew it was coming.

5. KENNY HILL, JUNIOR

QB, TCU

In his first game in a Horned Frogs’ uniform, Hill impressed. Hill finished with almost 500 yards of total offense and five touchdowns in TCU’s victory over South Dakota State. Hill would probably be higher on this list, but he threw two interceptions and was only able to pull away from the Jackrabbits late in the game. see page

es so I don’t think about it too much,” Sassin said. “I think there is a sense of urgency for us, but all of the seniors are on the same page so I think we’ll be fine.”

The Wildcats will start the tournament by taking on Mississippi State on Friday at noon, who is 5-2 this season with losses to Kansas and Oklahoma.

On Friday at 7:30 p.m., K-State will face off against Miami as the Hurricanes have started 3-3, with one of those losses coming to Texas.

The Wildcats will finish the weekend battling Loyola on Saturday at 1 p.m. The Ramblers are also 3-3 this season, but have won their last three matches after losing the first three.

Although the Wildcats have already had their home opener this past weekend, those games were held in Bramlage Coliseum, while these games will be played at the true home of Wildcat volleyball, Ahearn Field House.

“I think everyone is excited to be here again,” Sassin said after practice in Ahearn on Wednesday. “This is home and where we are most comfortable.

This is a very tough place for other teams to come and play in so that’ll be a good advantage for us.”

AQUARIUS Jan. 20 - Feb. 18

You’re incredibly distracted this week. (I’m not even going to bother giving you the stars’ advice, in fact, because you’ve probably already stopped reading your horoscope.)

PISCES Feb. 19 - March 20 Danielle Cook | THE COLLEGIAN

VIRGO Aug. 23 - Sept. 22

Treat yourself this week. You have money now, so you might as well spend it now. The stars say there really isn’t a good reason why you should spend it now rather than later, so just go with it and buy yourself something nice.

LIBRA Sept. 23 - Oct. 22

You’re obsessed with candles, we know. But September has barely begun and you’ve almost burnt your living space to the ground, like, six times already. You need to find your chill before the weather does and the candle craze really becomes a problem.

SCORPIO Oct. 23 - Nov. 21

Your friends are missing you (assuming you actually have any friends). Step out of the library and into any kind of social gathering this weekend.

Avoid asking too many questions this week because you actually really don’t want to know the truthful answer to whatever it is you’ve been wondering. It’s not a pretty answer.

ARIES March 21 - April 19

Pizza is your new best friend. One of your real friends will act like a jerk this week, but pizza will be there to help get you through it.

TAURUS April 20 - May 20

You have weekend fever already. Good luck.

It’s Thursday.

GEMINI May 21 - June 20

So, we hear Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston have split. Now is your chance to live the dream — to become famous for dating a famous person. The stars say your odds of meeting either one look pretty good right now.

Go get ‘em, tiger.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22 - Dec. 21

CANCER June 21 - July 22

CAPRICORN Dec. 22 - Jan. 19

LEO July 23 - Aug. 22

Stay away from any mid-week parties this week. Why? Because you remember what happened last time you turned up on a Thursday. (I mean, you don’t remember, but that’s my point.)

Get a puppy. Even if you’re more of a cat person, the stars say a puppy is the way to go and now is the time to get one if you’re going to get one.

Cut it out. You know exactly what I’m talking about and you know the rest of us would appreciate if you’d kindly cut it out.

People will be very drawn to you this week — and the stars say to make a run for it. You’ll overextend yourself if you’re not careful because you have no self-control when it comes to saying no to hangout invites.

“A lot of times being student body president will consume the person and they will just be the student body president, and forget about their friends and their involvement with other organizations,” Jordan DeLoach, senior in computer science and chief of staff for the Student Governing Association, said.

Van Ranken spoke highly of the relationship she has with Kennedy. “(Kennedy) and I have a

unique working relationship because we are very different people,” Van Ranken said.

“We have commonalities and shared goals and missions, which I think is the core important piece of our relationship. We are very different and I think that’s important when you are trying to serve a population that is diverse and full of different opinions on things.”

Oftentimes the stress and unknowns of working in such a leadership role means Van Ranken and Kennedy only

have each other to turn to and relate to, Kennedy said.

“We must have a solid partnership if we want to be effective,” Kennedy said.

Although her Twitter has gotten more serious, DeLoach said jokingly, Van Ranken continues to be the same person she was before she was elected president.

“She’s doing the things she’s always done and is the same as she has always been; she’s just doing all of it at a more premiere level,” DeLoach said.

RANKINGS | True Texas freshman quarterback shines in first game continued from page

6. DAIKIEL SHORTS, SENIOR WR, WEST VIRGINIA

The senior wideout was senior quarterback Skyler Howard’s best weapon in their season-opening win over Missouri. Shorts snagged eight balls for 131 yards in the game, averaging 16.4 yards a catch, a good game for the veteran wide receiver.

7. TAJ WILLIAMS, JUNIOR WR, TCU

The junior college transfer made his presence felt in a big way in TCU’s win on Saturday.

Williams finished the game with 158 yards and a touchdown on 11 receptions. He could be a factor in the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year award.

8. SHANE BUECHELE, FRESHMAN QB, TEXAS

The true freshman showed no signs of being intimidated by the magnitude of his first-ever collegiate game. Buechele directed the Longhorns’ offense well for most of the night, and showed off his very talented arm. He finished the night with 280 passing yards and two touchdowns. The Longhorns have to be excited about their future with Buechele at the helm.

9. ALLEN LAZARD, JUNIOR WR, IOWA STATE

One of the few bright spots in Iowa State’s disatrous opening game loss to Northern Iowa was Lazard. The big wide

receiver is probably Iowa State’s best playmaking threat and finished Saturday’s game with 129 yards and a touchdown on only six receptions. They’ll need more of this from Lazard if they want to put up a fight against Iowa this weekend.

10. SHOCK LINWOOD, SENIOR RB, BAYLOR

The senior running back didn’t play a whole lot against lowly Northwestern State, but when he did he made it count.

Linwood finished with 97 yards on only nine rushing attempts.

He’ll play a big role in Baylor’s success this season.
