Counseling Services relocated—here’s how the move benefits students
PETER LOGANBILL THE COLLEGIAN
Kansas State Counseling Services, formerly located in the English/Counseling Services building, found a new home in the Lafene Health Center. The move is in line with a longtime promise from the university to give the English department its own building. Although there may be some difficulty adjusting to the change, Jim Parker, director of Lafene Health Center, said the move will ultimately be beneficial for students. The nearness, Parker said, is practical because students who experience physical illness may also be experiencing a mental illness as well. “We enjoy the geographical proximity to them because we have students that may need help right away, and it also has helped us to better establish rapport with the Counseling Services,” Parker said. “That’s a good thing. I heard of a number of cases since May, when they moved here, where our providers were actually able just to walk the patient down [to Counseling Services].” Although the transition presents challenges, Daniel Larson, director of Counseling Services, said he is happy with the change. “The health services is just upstairs; students are able to make it over there [and] highly use them,” Larson said. “So we’re hoping that our numbers are not going to go down and that students are going to be able to access us with the same ease, but we’re aware that it’s a transition period for the students right

Now at Lafene Health Center, K-States Counseling Services is open for all currently enrolled students. The services provide assistance in decision making, skill building or mental health support. now.” The new location also gave Counseling Services more practical space and an off-center, more private waiting room, Larson said. “We got a few extra group rooms as a result of coming in here,” Larson said. “I think confidentiality-wise, privacy-wise, it worked out well for us.”

In this transition period, the student organization Peer Advocates for Mental Wellness and Success, or PAWS, has been focusing on spreading awareness of the move. Carly Tracz, graduate student in counseling and student development, is an assistant outreach coordinator for PAWS who works on stress manage-
ment, suicide prevention and tabling. “We do a lot of events on campus,” Tracz said. “Every Tuesday we’re in the Union for two or three hours. We have a table. We always have our trifold out there that has information and a big sign that says, ‘We’ve moved, here’s where you can find us.’ We do our best to get the news out there, as well as online.”

Is the 15-minute rule policy or myth? by Azayla Etienne Your professor is late to class and you’re nervously watching the minute hand tick as the instructor’s absence nears the 15 minute mark. Anticipation rises as the moment of mythological freedom comes closer to fruition. Usually, a professor will walk in the door, running late from a meeting or another class that ran long. But what if they didn’t make it? What if the 15 minute marker passes by and there is still no sign of them? Are you allowed to leave? “I’ve heard that saying from other people, but I’m not sure if it’s actually true, but it does sound reasonable,” Winston Cheong, graduate student in mathematics, said. Unfortunately, that rule is just a myth. “There is no actual policy,” Bryan Niehoff, associate provost at Kansas State, said. “It is the professor’s responsibility to be on time to class, but there is not a time limit to when students can leave.” So if you are in class and your professor hasn’t arrived after 15 minutes, it’s best to stay seated.

Holistic health: How to eat a plant-based diet in college
Women’s golf set to improve after performance at invitational
GABRIELA FARAONE
ADAM MEYER
I first went vegan five years ago when I lived in Paraguay. I had to make soymilk since it was very hard to find a milk alternative in local stores. It was through this shift in diet where I became obsessed with creating vegan recipes. Now living in the U.S., there are many alternatives to milk at the supermarket alongside vegan cheese, yogurt, plant-based meat and many other options. My dietary lifestyle became easier when it came to resources, but at the same time it was overwhelming. If you are trying to follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, budget can be seem like the main obstacle. I challenge that a healthy diet is quite possible within a budget. I understand that being a college student is a full-time job. School responsibilities can often take all your time and certainly make you doubt being able to take care of your body with nourishing food. To start this transition, here are some tips. There is no need to buy the alternative cheeses or meats. This alternative lifestyle, like any lifestyle, can be as cheap or as expensive as you allow it to be and as simple or as complicated it you allow it to be. Get local fruits and vegetables that are available in your area. Support your local market. Normally there are deals on seasonal products. Let’s say that you found that the quinoa on the market is overpriced; don’t panic and find a cheaper option. Get
The Kansas State women’s golf team participated in the Mary Fossum Invitational over the weekend. The invitational, which was hosted by Michigan State, took place at the Forest Akers West Golf Course in East Lansing, Michigan. Saturday was the first day of the invitational, and it featured two rounds. In round one, the Wildcats carded a score of 28-over-par 310, then improved their score in the second round to a score of 27-over-par 309. With round three to come on Sunday, K-State stood at 14th place with a score of 43-over-par 619. Head coach Kristi Knight

Sophomore Reid Isaac was the bright part of the day for the Wildcats on Saturday. She led the team with a score of 5-over par 149 to put herself in a tie for 32nd place heading into the final round. The next best Wildcats through the first two rounds were senior Chloe Weir and sophomore Niamh McSherry. Both shot 11-over-par 155 to put themselves in a tie for 60th place on Saturday. On Sunday, McSherry led the way for K-State by scoring 7-over-par 79 in the final round. She finished the invitational with a score of 18-over-

some bulgur, brown rice, oats or any other type of grain. Don’t be afraid to experiment with new things. Buy fresh and whole food products for the best deals and nutritional content. Processed food can sometimes be an easier way to go, but not the most healthy because of its high sodium content, and not the most affordable one. Following a healthy plant-based lifestyle doesn’t mean that you have to go and spend all your money on expensive superfoods, follow health trends or start drinking matcha lattes to feel that you
are doing the right thing. Make it simple and convenient for your time and budget and a joy for your body and health. Don’t forget that even thought diet is essential, making time to stay active is also very important. Gabriela Faraone is a junior in kinesiology.

K-State soccer routs Tulsa 3-0 in last match before Big 12 play NATHAN ENSERRO THE COLLEGIAN
The Kansas State soccer team picked up a win in its final match of nonconference play, beating the Tulsa Golden Hurricane 3-0 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Sunday afternoon. Sophomore goalkeeper Emma Malsy recorded a program record sixth shutout of the season, and the Wildcats moved to 4-3-2 on the year. Malsy collected two saves on the afternoon. The Wildcats got the offense going early with a second-minute shot by sophomore midfielder Brookelynn Entz that just missed the cross bar. Entz found the back of the net just 18 minutes later when she beat the backline to receive a pass over the top
from senior defender Megan Kalkofen. Entz slid the shot just under Tulsa’s diving goalkeeper, Mica MacKay. In an interview with K-State Sports after the match, Entz talked about how strategy in practice led to her goal. “We have been talking about [the long ball] in practice because the last few teams we have played have really tucked in on the defense,” Entz said. “That has left me wide open on the side, hanging out. That was something we talked about in practice yesterday and Megan did a really good job of executing that ball in.” Sophomore midfielder Christina Baxter and Kalkofen would force MacKay to make saves in the 39th and 42nd minutes, respectively. K-State managed the one
goal from Entz on 11 shots and four shots-on-goal in the first half. Still, it entered intermission with an early 1-0 lead. The Wildcats, for the second match in a row, did not allow a single shot from their opponent in the first half. Malsy got a little assistance early in the second half. A Tulsa free kick flew over the cross bar in the 52nd minute. Just two minutes later, an open 15-yard shot bounced off the left post to safety. In the 64th minute, Entz sent a ball bouncing through the Tulsa defense to a wide open sophomore midfielder Maddie Souder, who was streaking down the middle of the field. Souder collected herself at the top of the box and slid another goal past MacKay.
College football’s week 4 features exciting conference matchups
Following a break in the 69th minute, the Wildcats managed one more goal. This time, senior forward Tatum Wagner hit a crossing pass from the right side of the box to junior midfielder Ashley Zane with one player guarding her. Zane took one touch to stop the pass, one to set it up and a third to knock it over the goalkeeper’s head and into the back of the net from 19 yards out. K-State will look to keep the momentum going as it heads into conference play. The Wildcats’ first Big 12 test will come on Friday when Oklahoma State pays a visit to Manhattan. Oklahoma State is 8-1 on the year, winning five straight. The Cowgirls’ one loss came when they were edged out 2-1 at Illinois. They have given up just five goals this season while scoring 20.

NO. 7 STANFORD UNIVERSITY (3-0) AT NO. 20 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON (3-0)
Two top-25 ranked Pac12 West foes will meet Saturday night in Eugene, Oregon. Stanford’s star running back Bryce Love has accumulated 165 yards on 40 carries so far this season, but has only found the end zone once. Love was out in Stanford’s last game against the University of California, Davis with an undisclosed injury. A Heisman runner up last year, Love will be looking for a big game against Oregon to boost his Heisman hopes. Oregon’s high-powered offense — averaging 51.7 points per game — is led by junior quarterback Justin Herbert, who has thrown for 840 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Olivia Bergmeier | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP
Junior wide reciever Isaiah Zuber looks toward the referees to see the call on his catch. The Wildcat football team faced off against UTSA at Bill Snyder Familly Stadium on Saturday winning with a score of 41-17. The Cardinal defense contrasts the Ducks offense, as it has only allowed 7.7 points per game this season. The featured College GameDay game will kick off at 7
p.m. Saturday on ABC.

Q&A: Kansas House hopeful talks voting rights, civil liberties KAYLIE MCLAUGHLIN THE COLLEGIAN
Alex Van Dyke, recent Kansas State graduate in mechanical engineering, is running for the Kansas House of Representatives in the 67th District. He recently sat down with the editors of the Collegian for a question and answer session. Kaylie McLaughlin, news editor: “Why run now, since Tom Phillips has been unopposed since 2012?” Van Dyke: “I came to K-State in 2008 and in 2012, when he had an opponent, I was still getting my bachelor’s. Then, in ‘14, I was getting my master’s and ‘16 I was starting a career — kind of not ever a good opportunity in there. “I’ve seen how Kansas has been going, and it’s going in a direction that I don’t like. I have a new family, I have a 3-month-old daughter. I have always ... thought that Kansas was a family-friendly state. It’s where you come to raise your kids, and that’s not really a thing anymore, I feel like. It’s really changed a lot from when I was born, and I want to fight to keep it that way and keep families in Kansas.” McLaughlin: “What do you wish K-State knew about you in particular?” Van Dyke: “This might come out, so I’m just going to go ahead and say it now: I was born a Jayhawk fan.” McLaughlin: “Oh, no.” Van Dyke: “I know, I know. But in 2008, when I came here, ... I saw the light and fell in love with the royal purple and I’ve bled purple ever since. “I came here because of the mechanical engineering department. ... I’ve always known what I’ve wanted to do, and I saw it as the best way to help people. I have used that degree with my startup company Primary Mobile Med Inter-
national. We make and retrofit shipping containers for third world medical purposes, and so I’ve used that to potentially help get about 26 million gain access to healthcare. “Now, I kind of see the best way to help Kansans is to be politically active, be it running for office or organizing the March for Our Lives campaign. I’m active with Mom’s Demand Action. … I feel like that’s the best way to really help my neighbors in Kansas.” McLaughlin: “Why should students care about the election in the two Manhattan districts, even if they are registered in their hometowns?” Van Dyke: “That’s a really good question, and honestly, when I was in college, I didn’t know who my representative was ... especially [not] the district over. I think that’s a big issue. We have this big level of national politics, be it Obama, Bernie, Clinton, Trump, whatever, and it’s really hard for local candidates or even incumbents to really break through that bubble. And yet, local elections — city commissioners, county commissioners, your state legislators — they have more impact on your day-to-day than the president ever will have. That’s why they should care. “This election, more than any election since I’ve been alive, will affect Kansas. We have a gubernatorial candidate from the GOP whose first priority is to defund education, and that will directly impact every single K-State student, be it small tuition hikes or you see staff having to be let go or moving on to other places where they can be funded better.” McLaughlin: “You’re a lot younger than most of the people in the Kansas House currently. Do you see that as an advantage at all?” Van Dyke: “I do for a couple reasons. Like I said, I have a young family. I am recently into my career and I

I’m 28 and at least one of those three, if not a combination, is a large portion of Kansans right now, especially in Riley County. I feel like I really represent Kansas, the future of Kansas, and we need voices that represent our interests. We need the young voices, not just the experienced, but we need both in the legislative powers to really move Kansas in a direction that’s good.” McLaughlin: “What are the issues and policies that you are most concerned about?” Van Dyke: “I have a few, quite a few. … It’ll take a bit. … First and foremost is education. Like I said, it’s been under attack in Kansas, and we really need to fund our education. I would love to see a universal pre-K. Right now, it is under a tuition base; to put it in more understandable terms, per month is usually another rent or another mortgage to afford pre-school. There have been other instances of universal pre-K that have been successful, and I’d like to implement that. And funding higher [education], I mean, we need it. We don’t need to continue defunding it. “And then our civil liberties are continually attacked. Especially, one of the reasons that I really got into the race was the adoption bill. Just to give you some background on that, it’s a bill that my op-
ponent voted for and passed through the legislature. It allows state funds to go to adoption agencies that discriminate on parents’ religious views, and it’s state-funded religious discrimination. That makes our state look terrible and it hurts our economy because companies, people leave, we don’t bring in those companies and people that want to work here and it’s just wrong and it’s stepping on our civil liberties. “Our transparencies and trust with our government. Kansas is one of the most opaque states when it comes to our government, and we have practices like the ‘gut and go’ process which is the entire language of a bill doesn’t pass, it gets stripped out and new information gets put in … and then it gets shuffled through really quickly. If you’re not careful — all the legislative floor isn’t careful — then it gets through really easily. That’s just not how our democracy works, and so democracy is really this huge issue in politics right now, especially for me. Voting rights are being stepped on and we need to make our democracy work the way it was intended.” McLaughlin: “A recent study showed that less than 50 percent of K-State students actually voted in the primary. ... Do you think that this kind of indifference to voting in young people might have
a negative impact on your campaign?” Van Dyke: “It could. It definitely could. I think the bigger impact that it will have is one that matters more: ... the impact that it’ll have on statewide candidates and their experience. Your experience here at K-State will be directly impacted by this election. ... I don’t have a lot of K-State in my district, it might affect mine a little bit, but it’ll affect their lives and the direction Kansas moves a lot more.” McLaughlin: “Why was it so important for you to file election on Harvey Milk’s birthday?” Van Dyke: “Harvey Milk is a great American, a great man. … A big thing is the adoption bill. Like I said, it makes our state just look terrible, and it hit me on a personal level because my treasurer and his boyfriend are my best friends. They are fabulous in every sense of the word, ‘guncles’ to my daughter Athena, and the thought of them not being able to adopt a child one day because of this is just sickening.” McLaughlin: “What kind of motions do you plan to make to promote freer elections in Kansas, because that’s kind of a hot button issue these days?” Van Dyke: “It is, and I love this question. … This is America, this should not even be a question, but it’s being attacked by our state, by our [GOP] gubernatorial candidate and we are making it harder to vote, which is a keystone of democracy. Across the nation, we are making it harder to vote and it doesn’t make any sense. “Things that I’ll support are things like automatic voter registration, same-day registration and opening up the primaries so that independents and unaffiliated can have their voices heard in the primaries so they can choose which candidate they want to be voting for in the general.”
Dene Dryden, managing editor: “Without going so far as running for governor as an 18-year-old, what are some ways that K-Staters and other young voters in Riley County can become politically active to support better things in the state?” Van Dyke: “The best thing I can tell you is to go canvas for someone, someone that you agree with their stances on. Doesn’t matter what or who it is, go canvas if you want to be politically active. … That is the best way to get the people elected that you want to see in office. Other than that, there are tons of organizations. … Part of what helps with my age, as you asked, is seeing someone your age, your generation up for election. Fighting for the ideals that you believe in is a lot more of a pull to the polls than having it be someone who is 70 or 80.” McLaughlin: “Anything else?” Van Dyke: “I guess I didn’t really give a background on myself. … I did come here in 2008; I got a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and a second one in mathematics and then a master’s degree in 2015 in mechanical engineering. I now work at Civic Plus as a software engineer. “Interesting tidbit about my family life: I met my wife on Tinder, we are a Tinder success story. … We have a beautiful 3-month-old named Athena Jasmine Van Dyke, and she takes up most of my nights when I’m not canvasing. “One other thing that I wanted to mention [is that] the two main votes that pulled me into the race were the vote on the adoption bill and then the concealed carry reciprocity, which allowed 18-year-olds to concealed carry in Kansas if they had the license in Alabama. … We need to get guns off campus, and it’s driven away students, it’s driven away teachers, it’s driven away staff.”

OPINION: Smoking ban hardly noticeable without enforcement JASON DEFISHER THE COLLEGIAN
Since June of this year, Kansas State has enacted a campus-wide ban on smoking in all forms. Many students, including myself, have already enjoyed the decrease in foul-smelling cigarette smoke on campus. However, K-State’s smoking ban is self-enforced, meaning that students essentially have to tattle on people who smoke on campus. The lack of university enforcement takes the majority of the strength away from the ban in general. While ashtrays have been removed from campus, the nonexistent enforcement means that, practically speaking, people can still smoke wherever they want.

NO. 22 TEXAS A&M (2-1) AT NO. 1 UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA (3-0)
These two teams have had good battles in the past, the biggest game coming in 2012 when Texas A&M stunned Alabama in Tuscaloosa. The Aggies go into this game 2-1, with their one loss being a narrow 28-26 loss against No. 3 Clemson in week two. Junior running back Trayveon Williams has rushed for 399 yards and four touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Kellen Mond is completing 62.9-percent of his passes and has thrown for 824 yards and six touchdowns, adding three touchdowns on the ground. The Aggie offense has averaged 44.3 points per game and goes up against a Crimson Tide defense that has allowed just 9.3 points per game. Alabama has defended its national title and No. 1 ranking in the first three weeks, as they remain undefeated at 3-0. It most recently pummeled Ole Miss, 62-7. Sophomore quarterback
On the “frequently asked questions” page for the new smoking policy, there is no information on how or where to report someone for smoking on campus. The policy states that those not complying with the policy may be subject to disciplinary action, but does not give any further information. In addition to a lack of enforcement, I’ve noticed the rise of vape pens on campus and other university-owned properties. The smoking policy prohibits the use of “electronic cigarettes, vaporizers, hookah or other water pipe devices and all other related devices.” People using vape pens, however, take advantage of the lax enforcement of the rules as well as the size of their devices. The pens are relatively small and easy to conceal, and tend not to leave

NO. 17 TCU (2-1) AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS (2-1)
clouds as large as what traditional vaporizers emit. While I am 100 percent in favor of a clean air policy for K-State, I think there is no good way to enforce said policy without extremely strict policing. Unfortunately, this level of enforcement would be prohibitively time consuming, expensive and invasive. I would love to see our university become completely smoke-free, but that would require all members of the K-State family to be a part of the solution. Until we reach that point, it looks like we’ll have to settle for a mostly smoke-free campus. Jason DeFisher is a senior in animal sciences and industry.

Fitness for students, by students offered at K-State Rec Complex SARAH MOYER
THE COLLEGIAN
With sweat dripping, muscles burning and soreness already setting in, students walk out of one of the 64 group fitness classes offered by the Kansas State Recreational Services at the Peters Recreation Complex. Students exercise and attend the group fitness sessions for different reasons. For Mariah Stringfield, senior in life sciences and cardio hiphop class attendee, it’s about movement. “It’s a fun way to work out and dance, and I’m a dancing fool,” Stringfield said. Mallory Shinliver, senior in agribusiness, cycles in the summer at a different recreation center, but said she decided to come to one recent cycling class. “I haven’t been to the
gym in about a month, so I need a little detox because I’ve been at the ‘Ville probably for two weeks straight,” Shinliver said. Just as there are a variety of factors motivating students’ fitness goals, there are a variety of classes offered to help achieve them. The activities range from yoga to high intensity interval training. Julie Gibbs, director of health promotion at Lafene Health Center, said an assortment of exercises is key. “You never want your body to get used to one thing because you need to be well-rounded,” she said. “But you also want to look at what’s good for you, depending on your physical limitations or your physical ability overall.” Group fitness classes can also yield numerous health benefits, Gibbs said. In the short term, exercise causes

promotes good cholesterol and lowers the risk of Type 2 diabetes. “And it just makes you
feel good about yourself,” Gibbs said. Helping students meet their fitness goals is a priority for instructors, too. “It’s always nice to look out there and see people smiling or sweating in misery from time to time — you know it’s working,” said Mitzie Rojas, former student instructor and current recreation specialist at the Rec Complex. With academics, work and other activities demanding students’ time, Jayna Ukrazhenko, fitness and wellness coordinator at the Rec Complex, said consistency and realistic expectations are key to success. “Look at your schedule and see what fits best for you,” Ukrazhenko said. “There’s got to be at least one or two that are a staple, that you can write in your planner or put in your phone on your
calendar.” Ukrazhenko said the cardio hip-hop class, held Mondays and Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m., is the most-attended group fitness session. “We have 100 plus people in that class,” she said. “It’s basically been a staple on the schedule since that instructor started.” The instructor, Alex Wodtke, senior in kinesiology, began teaching her freshman year. She also instructs the Extreme Core class on Wednesdays. “After quitting gymnastics, I wanted to find a passion in something fitness-related,” she said. “I like that it’s a safe place to let loose and build community while burning calories.” The schedule of group fitness classes can be accessed online at recservices.k-state. edu.
