ADDITIONAL MAN ARRESTED, CHARGED FOR ROBBERIES LEADING UP TO K-STATE LOCKDOWN

According to news releases from the Riley County Police Department, additional arrests were made in conjunction with last week's robberies that lead to the lockdowns of the K-State campus and Manhattan Christian College on Sept. 4. RCPD detectives arrested Johnathon Elliott, 20, of Manhattan last Friday at about 10:30 a.m. Elliot was arrested for two aggravated robberies, theft and contributing to a child's misconduct. Bond for Elliot was set to $130,000. RCPD detectives identified two other suspects in this investigation. Both suspects are potentially armed and dangerous. Detectives are looking for information on the whereabouts of Carson Buckley, 16, and Janir Venga, 17, both of Manhattan. Both have been reported as juvenile runaways. Sean Johnson, 20, of Manhattan was arrested Sept. 9 for two charges of aggravated robbery, robbery, theft and contributing to a child's misconduct. The bond was set to $150,000.

LOCAL COLOR RUN RAISES MONEY TO SUPPORT MANHATTAN SPECIAL OLYMPICS

Students and community members gathered to support Manhattan Special Olympics at the 2015 Manhattan Color Run on Saturday. The race began at 9 a.m. with bursts of color filling the air as each group of racers were allowed to start. The first runner crossed the finish line in less than 20 min. According to the Little Apple Post, the Manhattan Special Olympics received the proceeds from the Color Run. This year, Q Country 103.5, Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey and the Little Apple Post raised over $900 to present to the organization. The money was raised through fundraisers over the summer. see page

tudents tend to turn to coffee or caffeine as a way to make it through the late nights of studying and homework. However, a recent survey shows a few students use another alternative to deal with the pressure of college. A survey by the Harris Poll, conducted on behalf of the Coalition to Prevent ADHD Medication Misuse, found that “75 percent of students believe at least some of their peers have used ADHD prescription stimulants not prescribed to them.” The 75 percent statistic is just a misleading perception students have, according to Boosting Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students’ director of initiatives and training, Ann Quinn-Zebeck. “When you actually look at the data, it’s really a minority of students who are doing this,” Quinn-Zobeck said. According to the survey, only 9.3 percent of students have actually used ADHD prescription stimulants not prescribed to them. Misusers of ADHD prescription stimulants are usually students who feel significant pressure from college and academic work, according to the survey. These stimulants, mainly Adderall, can be seen as a shortcut to being able to focus under stress while staying up late to study. “The reality of all of this is there’s no shortcut,” Mark Brown-Barnett, director of Lafene Pharmacy, said. Used properly, Adderall helps students diagnosed with ADHD to focus better, according to Brown-Barnett.

Ritalin and Adderall, commonly prescribed for ADHD, are defined as schedule II drugs with “a high potential for abuse.”

Families share experience at Kansas State Fair EMILY MOORE the collegian

As a football flew through the air, young boys chased it through the sod-like material of a small livestock show ring. They wore anything from jeans and T-shirts to nice button-up shirts, comfortable for the 78 degree weather Hutchinson, Kansas was experiencing on Saturday at the Kansas State Fair. It wasn’t the normal view from the bleachers above the show ring. The kids playing football in the middle of the show ring are members of families who show different types of livestock. They spend full weekends at the fairgrounds, caring for and showing their animals. Barbara Hanson, of Ulysses, Kansas, said she shows beef and dairy cattle at fairs and competitions. “We really never make it outside the barn,” Hanson said. The Stewarts, a family from Baldwin City, Kansas, who take part in showing ewes, said that they only leave the grounds for a few hours each night to sleep. “We don’t leave (the fairgrounds) until about midnight, and this morning we were back out here at 6 a.m.,” Jeannie Stewart, show mother, said. Stewart’s daughters, Emma and Reilly Stewart, show ewes in competition several times a year. Reilly Stewart has been showing for seven years and is a sophomore in high school. Reilly Stewart said the duties of caring for the animal help to prepare them to go into the show ring. “You have to feed (the animal), you’ve got to go and wash them and blow them out and get them

More practice goes in ahead of time, however, in order to make sure that the animal is prepared for the positions and requirements that need to be met in the show ring. “You have to work (the animal) and work them until they can set (their) feet (squarely),” Reilly Stewart said. Reilly Stewart and Jeannie Stewart both said they agreed that the amount of practice time Jeannie spends at the barn is at least three to four hours a day during the summer.

Stewart said her daughters do not have a lot of free time due to the amount of ewes that they show, but she did say that both of her daughters enjoy shopping at all the fair stands and shops when they do have a free moment. On the other side of the barn, Brandi Peverly, a 19-year-old from Wamego, has been showing pigs since she was 7 years old. She said that there is a lot of free time for her when she isn’t in the show ring. “It’s a lot of down time compared to the little bit of show time that actually happens,” Peverly said.

The buzzing crisis is here

JONATHAN GREIG the collegian

If you’re at all concerned about agriculture, conservation, ecology or just that your supply of honey at the grocery store won’t run out, then I have some bad news for you. You’ve probably already heard, but it bears repeating: honey bees are dying. Last Thursday, a federal appeals court specifically concerned about pesticides’ effect on honey bees, blocked the use of the pesticide sulfoxaflor. Circuit Judge Mary Schroeder wrote this on the decision: “In this case, given the precariousness of bee populations, leaving the EPA’s registration of sulfoxaflor in place risks more potential environmental harm than vacating it.” The court ordered the EPA to perform additional studies and acquire additional data about the pesticide’s effect on bees before it could be granted unconditional registration. A recent New York Times article covering the decision cited that “as much as one-third of the nation’s bees (have) disappear(ed) each winter since 2006. A 2013 report issued by the EPA and U.S. Department of Agriculture cited a parasitic mite, multiple viruses, bacteria, poor nutrition, genetics, habitat loss and pesticides as factors for the bees’ disappearance.”

All right, my conservationists, it’s time to get serious about saving our buzzing friends. I personally visited the Manhattan Insect Zoo last spring, and I learned a lot about bees I did not know before – things I thought helped demonstrate how worthy bees are to have our conservational attention and environmental protection. Bees are truly special insects because, like us, they have an immensely complex social system. The hive sends its older bees outside because of the risk of leaving the hive. So if you see one out in your garden, usually you can assume it’s an older one. Their buzz rises to a higher pitch when upset, they prefer flying about in the morning and evening when the sun is cooler and they even have a notch of democracy. The wonderful guide at the zoo explained to me that when it is time for a colony to move or to split, a couple scouts will venture out to find a new home. They return to the hive when they do and communicate information about it with a dance. Other bees then vote, in a sense, by joining in one of those dances, eventually deciding where the group should head. Some days it feels like this would be a stark improvement to the way our democracy is functioning now. How can we possibly let our environmental footprint help drive this incredible species, this evolutionary success and key ecologic cog, any closer to extinction? And all right, my agriculturalists, it’s time to get serious about saving our buzzing friends. The field of agriculture, and the vast fields of agriculture (a pun, ladies and gentlemen), are where we run into some conflict with these bees. Manu Saunders of Grist in his Oct. 15, 2014 article

“Serious about saving the bees? Time to rethink agriculture,” addresses this area of conflict: “This is the dilemma for monoculture ag. Harvesting efficiency and high yields per acre versus a functioning ‘ecosystem’ that supports all the animals and natural processes that help crops produce food for us. Acres of temporary blossoms and no spray for a few weeks don’t mean much if there is no permanent habitat for pollinators to make a home.” There should be a concerted philosophy to sacrifice some short-term gains of heavy pesticides and habitat consumption to keep our oh-so-important pollinators alive for the long-term. In the BBC’s online article “Would we starve without bees?” it is brought to attention that “Pollination is not just important for the food we eat directly, it’s vital for the foraging crops, such as field beans and clover, used to feed the livestock we depend on for meat. Just as importantly, it helps to feed many other animals in the food chain and maintains the genetic diversity of the flowering plants.” And if you’re not yet fully convinced of the bees’ incredible importance in ecosystems across the globe, the British Beekeepers Association would like you to know that “the pollination benefit of bees is calculated to help the economy by millions of pounds per annum. Certain crops yield up to 25-40 percent more if efficiently pollinated and farmers in some areas of the world pay beekeepers to put hives into their

Next time you or your family works on the garden, keep in mind plants that might aid the bee’s place in its ecosystem. There is even a project being done by The Xerces Society called Project Bumble Bee, which you can participate in by reporting nest sightings on their website, helping them track and collect data on all the species of North American bumble bees.

fields and orchards. In the USA alone bees pollinate about 10 billion dollars worth of crops per year.” So all right, people who just want to keep seeing honey in those cute little bear-shaped bottles at the grocery store, it’s time to get serious about saving our buzzing friends. There are lots of small gestures you can make on behalf of the honey bee. If you see a live bee grounded and not moving, they might just

Pope Francis is practicing what we preach

COURTNEY BURKE the collegian

Pope Francis has led the Roman Catholic Church for about two and a half years now, and he has done things differently every step of the way, including before he was even elected. He is a man of firsts that is not afraid to point out the mistakes of the church in an effort to create a better, more accepting future. Pope Benedict XVI announced in Feb. 2013 that he was resigning from the Papacy. He was the first Pope to do so in roughly 600 years, so there was no precedent to follow. One month later, Jorge Bergoglio became the new leader of the Catholic Church. Since then, Bergoglio, now known as Pope Francis I, has become known as a pope of many firsts. On March 13, 2013, CNN published an article titled, “Pope Francis, the pontiff of firsts, breaks with tradition” that detailed when Pope Francis revealed himself “as the new leader of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics, he made history as the first non-European pope of the modern era, the first from Latin America, the first Jesuit and the first Illustration by Olivia Robinson

to assume the name Francis.” From the get-go, Pope Francis has made his own papal history. After his appointment, instead of standing above everyone and blessing them in God’s name, Pope Francis stood next to the cardinals who elected him and asked the crowd at St. Peter’s Square to pray for him. This action won me over right away. The leader of the Catholic Church stood in front of millions of people, both those in St. Peter’s Square and those watching on TV around the world, and he humbled himself and asked for prayers of guidance. Only one month after his inauguration, Pope Francis announced that an international council of eight cardinals were appointed to advise him in the reforming of the Catholic Church, and he has been busy doing just that, making headlines as he goes ever since. Daniel Burke, author of the CNN article “Pope Francis: No more business as usual,” said, “The 77-year-old pontiff has sought to awaken a spirit of joy and compassion in the church, scolding Catholic ‘sourpusses’ who hunt down rule-breakers and calling out a ‘tomb psychology’ that ‘slowly transforms Christians into mummies in a museum.’” In the two and a half years that Pope Francis has been the Catholic Church’s leader, there has been a great deal of history making and tradition breaking. In July 2013, Pope Francis made the statement, “If someone is gay and he

Letter to the Editor: Standing by our K-State Family Dear Editor, We are writing this letter in response to the immediate release of the article titled, ‘K-State halftime show leads to questions about sexual innuendo, band member denies any ill intention’ by Jon Parton. The article has since been edited to reflect a more politically correct version of the performance, but at the time of the release, was an ignition to the social media fire of disapproval. It was the first source of news coming out of K-State, and the unedited version of the article was nothing short of deception, as it painted the KSU Marching Band in a negative light. Instead of reporting the actual events of the half-time show (that it was a Star Wars / Star Trek theme), your newspaper decided that the best option would be to report that the show included an alleged phallic symbol. As the “independent” voice of K-State and an entity that receives student money from SGA, you made a deplorable decision with this article. Not only did you not report on the actual events that occurred, you went so far as to post a GIF (now taken down) made by one of your photographers showing a loop of the show that enticed the negative media frenzy. As of right now, that photographer has claimed himself to be ‘twitter famous’ with over 200 retweets and favorites of that GIF. Instead of using the voice that you have to stand up for your school and your band, you let national media take ahold of your story and your photos and shove them further into negative spotlights. For what? To get more views? To increase the number of readers? Shame on you! As a current graduate student and fellow alumni, we are sickened that you chose not to go above and beyond the call of duty to protect your school, but instead chose to appeal to the hatred of Kansas State University. If you want to report news, then report it. Don’t twist the story to get a bigger headline. We have no doubt the K-State family stands firmly behind Dr. Tracz, the band, and their performance. The real question is, do you? Always standing by our K-State Family, Caleb Kueser | Alumni 2012, current graduate student Colton Kueser | Alumni 2013

searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?” at a news conference. In December 2013, Pope Francis was named Time Magazine’s person of the year, only the third pope given the title, and he also visited with pope-emeritus Benedict XVI. In July of 2014, Pope Francis apologized to six victims of church sexual abuse and said that Catholic bishops “will be held accountable” for not protecting the church’s children. The headlines don’t stop there, though. In 2015 alone, Pope Francis has released an encyclical that addressed climate change, criticized how Catholics treat divorced couples, started holding church leaders accountable for sexual abuse and said that priests can forgive women who have had abortions during this “Year of Mercy.” “I prefer a church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security,” the Pope said in an official statement released by the Vatican. Pope Francis is truly a breath of fresh air. He is fighting for Catholics that have lived their religious life on the outside looking in, and he is finally addressing major world issues from a modern standpoint. Pope Francis is still adored by many even though he has spent the last two and a half years turning the church upside down, and, in my opinion, he is teaching many Catholics, priests and parishioners alike how to be more Catholic. Pope Francis is leading the Catholic Church through actions and not just words about how to forgive, accept, respect and love all different people in this world. If that’s not what being Catholic and Christian is about then I don’t know what is.

It’s time to get serious about saving our buzzing friends for their good, for the good of ourselves and for the good of the diverse world we inhabit.

Take meteor strikes, for instance. Might want to go move your car, actually. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) In a last-ditch effort to discover where your true talents lie, you will hire a personal life coach. You will pay this person a significant lump sum only to have them inform you that you actually aren’t terribly skilled at much of anything. They’ll cash your check anyway.

IRIS LOCOCO the collegian

Gemini (May 21 - June 20) Lately you have been feeling like it’s all up to you to help friends and loved ones find the harmony they seek in their lives. This is a tall order for you to fill, Gemini. You’re not exactly the most balanced meal in the food pyramid yourself. Your friends should take caution with all of the putrid leftovers you’re no doubt feeding them, unless they want take a page out of your book and end up puking all over themselves. Aries (March 21 - April 19) You find yourself fretting over the fact that your friends’ compliments to you are insincere, and that they are only stroking your ego to hide their secret derision. Sure, they may not entirely mean all of the things they say, but don’t sweat it. Such a magnificent, intelligent, beautiful person such as yourself does not need to concern themselves with the opinions of those sheep.

BRIEFS | Researchers funding finalized continued from page

K-STATE RESEARCHERS RECEIVE FUNDING TO STUDY VIRUSES

According to a press release from the K-State News and Communications Services, a K-State project researching viruses received funding from the National Institutes of Health. Assistant professor of biology, Stefan Rothenburg, received an award of more than $1.85 million from the NIH for the project titled, “Importance of Species-Specific Interactions of PKR with Poxvirus inhibitors for Virus Replication and Host Range.” The project will look at poxviruses as well as the biological factors that will determine if such a poxvirus could potentially infect different humans and animals, Rothenburg told DCM. According to DCM, researchers are studying poxviruses to see if they could “be the next smallpox as well as an effective weapon against cancer.”

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) Spend some time researching your family’s geneology this week. With a bit of luck, you may be able to trace your roots back to the ancestor who gave you the idiot gene. It won’t change you situation, but at least you’ll have someone to blame other than your unfortunate parents. Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) “A real _____________ would never feel this level of imposter syndrome! I’m such a fraud!” You will think to yourself before catching yourself at the peak of meta-insecurity and collapsing into an existential feedback loop that will consume the rest of your week. Sorry Pisces, but you’re on your own. The stars don’t want to touch this one with a barge pole. Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) You’ve been feeling totally overwhelmed by work, school and your personal life, hoping and praying for an easy answer. Don’t fret, Scorpio. There is no problem facing you right now that can’t be solved with a little creative energy, a lot of determination and a rent-by-the-hour bulldozer.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) Spend some quality time socializing with your closest friends over a good meal this week. You’ve always been a talker, but you’ve become quite adept at yammering while you stuff your face these days. And yet you wonder why you’re still single. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) Who do you think you are, a member of the Hilton family? It would appear so with the way you’ve been waving that plastic around. The only difference is that Paris isn’t already $30k in debt over student loans. You really need to cut your spending before you credit score goes the way of Paris’ singing career. I’d start with that Discover card and a pair of scissors. Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) Love has always seemed like such a mystery to you, Aries. And you wouldn’t be entirely wrong: in reality it’s like an episode of “Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego?” because all of your love interests flee halfway around the globe and assume aliases in attempt to throw you off their trail. Just tip for you, Aquarius: A restraining order is not a “clue.” Taurus (April 20 - May 20) You could start to feel better about a recent letdown when you finally discover someone else to conveniently pin the blame on. This will left a humongous weight from your shoulders, leaving your mind free to make even bigger, grander mistakes. Cancer (June 21 - July 22) A stray CrossFitter may come knocking on your door this week to tell you the Good News about kale smoothies. Calmly turn them away by letting them know that your muscles are already strong enough from carrying the weight of your numerous sins, thanks.

MEDICATION | Counseling Services can help continued from page

“When the mind is not focused and is just kind of randomly going, the theory is by speeding up the body, then it catches up with the mind, and there’s greater control and greater focus,” Brown-Barnett said. When students sell their medication or give it to their friends as a favor to help with studying, not only is it a felony with serious consequences, but it also puts them at a disadvantage.

“This is their medication and it helps them get through school,” Quinn-Zobeck said. “It’s a tool that they need in order to be able to complete their coursework, do their studying and get good grades.” For students who feel stressed, there are better alternatives than taking unprescribed stimulants. “Every person’s going to be a little bit different,” Dorinda Lambert, director of K-State Counseling Services, said. “They’d have to really take a little bit of

time to figure out what are the things creating the stress for them and then try to look at what are the supports that can help them deal with that differently.” K-State Counseling Services provides resources for learning about stress and time management, including workshops throughout the semester and a free online workshop. “I do believe that people are in education, going to college, because they want to better their lives, and they want to learn,” Lambert said. “They need to

However, Peverly keeps busy with all the other people showing their pigs, and she said that one of the best parts of showing pigs is the people you meet. “We know a lot of the people,” Peverly said. “We show with them all around the country, so we have a lot of friends around so we just talk and hang out.” With pigs, the care is different from that of sheep, but both need to stay clean and healthy. “Especially with the pigs, you have to keep them clean,” Peverly said. “We wash them every day and keep their skin good.” Every livestock species is judged based on different characteristics. Even within the species, there are different types of judging based on the animals’ different breeds and

purposes. For example, Hanson said the difference in desired appearance between beef cattle and dairy cattle. “Dairy animals, you want them to look as skinny as possible and beef, you want them to look fluffy,” Hanson said. According to Hanson, this means part of the process for preparing dairy cows to be showed includes feeding them correctly and body clipping them to keep their hair short. Gail Carpenter, graduate student in animal sciences and industry, coaches the K-State Dairy Judging team and is volunteering to coach the National Kansas 4-H Judging team. She said she came to the Kansas State Fair with her team to practice judging. Carpenter said there are multiple parts to judging. To start, livestock are sorted into

groups of four by age and then ranked by their quality within their class, and in the competition portion collegiate judging teams judge the animals, rank them and later explain the reasons why they placed a class. Carpenter said she wasn’t always on this side of judging, though. Carpenter showed cattle when she was younger through 4-H in Michigan, and she said with a laugh that she remembers her first showing experience. “It was kind of embarrassing for me because I got into the game a little bit older than a lot of people,” Carpenter said. “A lot of kids will be doing it since the time they could walk and I did not. I didn’t get started until junior high, so it wasn’t as natural for me as the other kids, and my cow wasn’t as good looking as the other cows in there. It

approach changing how they deal with stress as a learning experience, and it does take some practice and it does take some types of support.” The issue of students misusing Adderall and other ADHD prescription stimulants can be addressed by educating students about the misuse and diversion of ADHD prescription stimulants and offering alternative resources to students who are feeling pressured or stressed, according to Quinn-Zobeck. “It’s one of those things that if we put some attention on it and really look at the issue, I do believe it’s an issue that we can solve on campuses,” Quinn-Zobeck said. was a little bit embarrassing, but I enjoyed it. I had enough fun that I came back, and obviously now I’m making a career out of it.” Everything that happens at the shows is the result of the care for the animal ahead of time — how they are fed, cared for, groomed and trained. For Carpenter, that was always the best part of showing. “I always really liked getting ready for the show more than the show itself, in all honesty,” Carpenter said. “Just taking care of the animals, training them, working with them, bonding with them, that’s what I thought was the fun part. It was the anticipation part.” That football, as it flew through the show ring, could be seen as a reminder of how much of these families’ lives revolve around the animals and the showing. “There’s a lot of work that goes into this,” Jeannie said. “This isn’t something you just do on the weekends. This is 24/7, every day, all day. You have to live it.”

Wildcats’ defense leads the way again in UTSA win ANDREW HAMMOND the collegian

aking his first career start, junior quarterback Joe Hubener threw for over 200 yards and made key plays for the Wildcats as they got their first ever win in the Alamodome (and first win in a dome since 1993) by defeating UTSA 30-3. “I felt we played well defensively,” head coach Bill Snyder said to K-State Sports. “Obviously on the first drive we gave up a field goal and we’d like to get that back and have a zero on board. But collectively, I thought we played well and we played hard. I thought we played smart.” Alongside Hubener was redshirt freshman Winston Dimel, who scored a rushing touchdown from one yard out late in the fourth quarter. However, it was a 53-yard pass from Hubener to Dimel that was the highlight of both of their days. “He made some nice plays and had some deep balls,” Snyder said regarding Hubener’s performance. “He got some help from his receivers. He mis-threw a few balls that were short and I haven’t got that figured out yet. Outside of that he managed the offense very, very well. I thought

He handled the running game well. He handled his part of the running game well. Overall, he did some good things, but we still have some growth in some aspects of the passing game.” In addition to Hubener and Dimel, the Wildcats received contributions from other skilled players, as well. Freshmen Justin Silmon and Dalvin Warmack combined for

80 yards on the ground and a touchdown from Silmon, early in the fourth quarter. K-State also got some help in the kicking game from senior kicker Jack Cantele, who was inserted into the game for injured sophomore kicker Matthew McCrane. Cantele made field goals from 29, 27 and 21 yards in the victory. On defense, the Wildcats allowed their first points of the season coming off of a 51-yard

field goal by Roadrunner kicker Daniel Portillo. The Wildcats have yet to allow a touchdown in the 2015 season. Aside from the field goal, the Wildcats held the potent Roadrunner offense to only 229 yards on offense including going 0-2 on fourth down conversions. “I think we just reacted well and aligned better,” senior defensive tackle Travis Britz said to K-State Sports. “They were going mach speed that first series

and like most teams they had a set of plays that they knew what they were going to do. That first series we didn’t slow them down as much as we needed to, but from the second series on we understood what they were trying to do to us, so we were able to respond faster and play faster.” The Wildcats will head back home to finish up their non-conference slate with a matchup against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs this Saturday.
