$tudent $ervices fee provides more than students are aware

MARGARET LATENSER staff writer

Every semester, Kansas State students pay a Student Services fee. The fee – previously known as the Campus Privilege fee – is $465.48 for full-time undergraduate and graduate students. It supports many service benefits students receive every semester. According to the Student Governing Association Student Services Fee page, those services include extracurricular, health and educational benefits. Max Harman, senior in biochemistry and chair of the Student Services Fee Committee, said he is unsure if students are aware of all the benefits they are eligible to receive. “If I got to poll the student body, I would ask what

they know i s available on campus because of the Student Services F e e , ” Harman said. “I want people to be aware of all the great resources available to them.” A quick poll of 15 freshmen Marlatt Hall residents revealed they were only aware that the fee helps fund the Peters Recreational Complex. “I honestly did not know the Student Services Fee was a big thing,” Paul Hartman, freshman in mechanical engi-

neeri n g , s a i d . “The only thing I had heard they funded was the rec center, but that is it.” Harman said the fee does fund the Rec Complex, but the most significant student services unit the fee funds is Lafene Health Center. “Lafene receives $5.6 million in order to run the entire operation,” Harman said.

“This includes salaries for employees, medications and procedures, plus all the physical needs of students.” The fee also provides funding for student mental health. Though it is now part of Lafene and renamed Counseling and Psychological Services, or CAPS, the counseling center separately receives $843,000 to support its operations. “Because of the fee, K-State students are entitled to eight free counseling sessions per semester, so basically every other week a semester, you can see a counselor or a psychologist over at counseling services,” Harman said. Harman said another benefit the fee provides is access to legal services. “Student Legal Services offers free, confidential legal advice for all students,” Harman said. “The lawyer, Sarah Barr, can help students out with MIPs or any other issues.” Harman said the Student Services Fee Committee uses a thorough process to determine if each unit allotted money uses the funds to its full potential. “We review the entities that receive money at different times, usually every two or three years,” Harman said. “This is a three-week process where the organization will first present what they want. Then we will evaluate

what they have done with the money, and then we are able to determine if we should change the amount of money they are given.” The committee is reviewing Student Design Services, located on the lower level of the K-State Student Union. Harman said the unit provides an exciting service for students. “Every single student organization gets three free hours of graphic design work that they can request,” Harman said. “If they need a new logo or graphic for an event, there is a whole team housed in the Union that will do that for student organizations free of charge.” Emma Beatty, sophomore in computer science and council member for Marlatt, said she wished she knew about that particular benefit this past year. “I had no idea this was available to me,” Beatty said. “This would have been great to know last year while I was designing posters. This is great to know for this year. I am excited because we struggled last year to make designs.” Even though the committee is reviewing the Student Design Services, it still has the money for this school year to provide students with these services. This past year’s committee allotted the money for this year’s budget. The budget decided from the reviews

currently taking place will be used in upcoming years, Harman said. Harman said the committee is working on establishing the actual amount of money available to give organizations on campus this year. “This week, we had the 20th day of classes,” Harman said. “We now can get the projections on what collections and enrollment look like for this term. In the next week, we will get those projections in order to see where we are at money-wise.” After the amount of money available is determined, the committee will meet with organizations under review, listen to their pitches and consider the students’ benefit. These steps help the committee decide how much money each entity will receive, Harman said. According to the Student Services Fee webpage, an all-student committee sets the annual fee students must pay. They also review each individual line-item fee and address issues of long-term financial planning. Harman said while the administration must approve all committee decisions, K-State is extremely supportive of their students and their choices. The complete service list of student services entities is also on the website.

Cats’ Cupboard expands with addition of two refrigerators EDEN BROCKMAN staff writer

Cats’ Cupboard provides food and personal hygiene items to students, faculty and staff at Kansas State at no cost to them. Recently, Harvesters awarded Cats’ Cupboard a $10,000 grant, allowing them to purchase two refrigerators. Shelly Williams, Morrison family director of Cats’ Cupboard, said she knows the refrigerators will allow Cats’ Cupboard to hold more nutritious products. “We offer such a variety of shelf-stable products,” Williams said. “[The refrigerators] will allow us to provide fresh produce, dairy, eggs, meat, things like that, that can really increase the nutritional value of our guests’ meals.” Kelsey Sutton, Cats’ Cupboard employee and sophomore in psychology, said having more options will help people expand their diet. “Getting something fresh might entice more people to have something different for dinner,” Sutton said. Williams said she is looking at local sources to help provide fresh food for the cupboard. “We have a lot of different direc-

tions that we are looking at to bring in products, but I am really hoping to focus on the produce side,” Williams said. “So, I am looking at local sources of fresh food and vegetables, local sources of meat or dairy even. I love to help promote that local culture that Manhattan is so rich in.” Yslam Akmyradov, Cats’ Cupboard volunteer and senior in entrepreneurship and organizational management, said he believes having fridges at Cats’ Cupboard is necessary to eliminate waste. “Having fridges will help products last longer and let people enjoy fresh food,” Akmyradov said. Williams said she encourages anyone and everyone in the K-State community to take advantage of the benefits at Cats’ Cupboard. “It is a benefit open to all students, staff and faculty of Kansas State, just for being a K-State Wildcat,” Williams said. “There is no limit to the amount of times you can come in a day, in a week, in a semester. All of your products that you will get through here are free, which enables you to spend those finances on other items that you need during your time here at K-State. So come visit us — we have friendly staff, and we would love to see you.”

New social media policy offers guidance, inclusion to students ALEXANDER HURLA staff writer

Deborah Adeniji | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

As part of Kansas State’s Action Plan for a More Inclusive K-State, the University published a new social media usage policy for students on Aug. 16, 2021.

As part of Kansas State’s Action Plan for a More Inclusive K-State, the university published a new social media usage policy for students on Aug. 16, 2021. Thomas Lane, vice president for student life and dean of students, served as the lead administrator of the seven-member committee that developed the policy. He said before the policy’s creation, nothing existed to govern what students could and could not do on social media. “We discovered that there was a social media policy for faculty and staff that was brought forth through the Kansas Board of Regents, but there was really no guidance for student social media,” Lane said. “So, we saw this as an op-

portunity to engage with students and other campus community members to talk about what are the expectations with regards to social media. What are the resources that are available to students? How can we encourage responsible use of social media while also being mindful of the First Amendment and freedom of expression as a state institution?” The policy acknowledges the benefits of social media while commenting on the responsibility that comes with its use. While it states the university may take corrective action against social media content or conduct that violates the policy, Be Stoney, interim chief diversity and inclusion officer, said it is not designed as prohibitive. “Our students need to conduct themselves responsibly and ethically online,”

Stoney said, “because we want to support our students who do have that freedom of speech and freedom of expression, but not from the sense of insulting or violating the university policy.” Zach Perez, senior in mass communications, served as a student representative on the committee. He said the policy makes it clear for students to understand the proper use of social media. “I think, if nothing else, it gives students … a hard guideline, and it more just defines things that went undefined,” Perez said. “I think that’s where more of the frustration came within the student body, is that there wasn’t specific language or a specific policy to outline student conduct on social media.” see page

Office of Student Success announces scholarship opportunity for student-artists ELENIA HENRY staff writer

On a mission to fill the walls of Holton Hall’s student success seminar room — a basement space newly redesigned for classes, conferences and community — the Office of Student Success announced a scholarship opportunity for visual artists on the Kansas State campus. Consistent with campus-wide efforts to highlight the importance of cultivating mental health, the theme for submissions is “well-being.” Luke Matulewicz, managing director of tutoring services, is the committee lead heading this initiative. “Success means a ton of different things to everybody. … We all want to be better,” Matulewicz said. “We thought [the initiative] would encapsulate a great kind of message to have while we’re in the space.” Matulewicz said 3 Holton Hall — a room with

POLICY continued from page 04

The committee began meeting in Fall 2020 and concluded its mission with the publication of the policy in August 2021. During that time, the committee presented policy drafts to student groups for feedback. “We looked at other universities’ examples of policies, had discussions about what we’d like to see in our policy,” Lane said. “Then bedded that draft to the students who worked on the student code of conduct revision, and then also looked for other opportunities to share with students such as Student Government

blank walls and versatile usage — is missing an infusion of student life. Its recent upgrade from an overflow cubicle office to a flexible gathering place reflects new well-being of its own. Artists can use the medium of their choice to express the theme, with submissions due at 5 p.m. on Oct. 11, through a Qualtrics form on the K-State website. Students can explain the style and significance of their entry. Selected students will see their work displayed in 3 Holton Hall and receive a $500 reimbursement on tuition paid for the Fall 2021 semester. Matulewicz said he does not foresee pieces being removed from Holton Hall anytime soon after installation. “We don’t have a timeline of when we want to take them down … but definitely [at least] a year, probably much longer than that,” Matulewicz said.

Emmiley Springfield, junior in apparel and textiles marketing, said the scholarship is a chance to open up creatively. “If I qualify as one of the winners for this scholarship, it would mean the world to me because I am starting to dive back into the aspect of creating, and being rewarded for that would make me beyond happy,” Springfield said. “The opportunity to have others view my work and understand my story through my art is certainly a goal.” The scholarship committee will choose the winning pieces on Nov. 8 and recognize the winners during finals week.

Association leaders, student leaders within the journalism and mass communications program, and just tried to — after all of those draft revisions — come up with a policy that was put forth to the campus.” While the social media policy is new to K-State, Lane said it ties in with other policies students should already be aware of. “For example, our Threat Management Policy, our policy on sexual harassment and discrimination, our policy associated with the student code of conduct … those are all important pieces of the social media policy,” Lane said. Stoney said the policy will positively impact K-State by

following what the Action Plan is meant to accomplish. “The impact [will be] better dialogue … between students, better dialogue between faculty and students and better dialogue in understanding and asking questions to learn more about others,” Stoney said. “For me, it’s about learning about people, and I think that’s a strong impact that this particular policy will have when we’re talking about an inclusive K-State.” The student social media usage policy is in the Policy and Procedures Manual on K-State’s website.az

Memphis alt-rockers release self-titled debut album JARED SHUFF editor-in-chief

The Band CAMINO is a group I have had my eye — or in this case, ears — on for a few years. I remember buying tickets to a concert they were opening for in 2018 and not getting to go because of scheduling conflicts. Three years later, it’s only fitting to review the debut album of the band I almost saw in concert. The group has released music since forming in 2015 while members Andrew Isbell (drums), Jeffrey Jordan (vocals/guitar), Graham Rowell (bass) and Spencer Stewart (vocals/guitar) were students at the University of Memphis. Isbell and Graham have since left the band, with the most recent addition Garrison Burgess taking on

drums and bass. After three EP’s and plenty of singles, The Band CAMINO released their debut album on Sept. 10, 2021. Ranging from energetic indie-rock to stripped-down acoustic ballads, the self-titled album is a refreshingly honest and vulnerable take on life’s uncertainties. The group shared six singles from the album before its official release, two of them during the week of release. The first single from the album, “Roses,” has over 15 million streams on Spotify. “Roses,” released in December 2020, is one of the poppier songs on the album, which fits the overall message of the track. Acknowledging their history of writing more melancholic music, the group looks to live in the moment with this song. During

255

the chorus, Jordan sings, “Yeah, we’re only human, but we’ve got hands and hearts and noses / So stop and smell the f—ing roses.” One of my favorite songs from the album has to be “I Think I Like You,” which feels like a homage to 80s synthpop. A sweet song about finding that perfect someone, The Band CAMINO embraces funky synths, falsetto vocals and possibly even a cowbell in this dance-worthy hit. Of course, the band dives into some deeper content throughout the album, including the acoustic ballad “Sorry Mom.” I’ll admit, this song struck an emotional chord or two when I first heard it. The simplicity and vulnerability of admitting to failures and asking for forgiveness is heart-wrenching. Jordan sings in the bridge, “I wish that I could find the words / To tell you

255

how much that it hurts / That I’m not who you wanted me to be.” I’m not ashamed to say that line brought literal tears to my eyes the first time I heard it. As someone who regularly questions their worth, even with family, this song felt like a direct attack on my emotional well-being. With that said, I love you mom, even when we disagree and argue. OK, after that detour, back to the album. The Band CAMINO has a habit of turning depressing subjects into dangerously catchy songs. Nothing proves that more than the opening song on the album, “EVERYBODYDIES.” Yeah, there’s no sugarcoating this one, folks. How are you going to have me dancing in my car singing, “I don’t know what the future holds / But it happens how it happens, everybody dies anyway?” This song is split

between the two vocalists, with Jordan on the verses and Stewart on the chorus. Getting some strong nihilistic vibes from this one. Leaning more towards the rock side, “1 Last Cigarette” is a post-party anthem full of distorted guitar solos and banging drums. While the lyrical content lends itself to a deeper meaning, Stewart kept it simple and sweet. “I could tell you this song is about how using alcohol as a coping mechanism perpetuates already unhealthy habits, or use it as a social commentary on youth party culture,” Stewart said in an Instagram post promoting the song, “but really it’s just about getting drunk and losing my keys.” There’s plenty more I could say about this album, but I think it’s better to give it a listen yourself. Hopefully, I’ll have a chance in the future to make up for my lost concert opportunity. Until then, blaring this album through my car speakers will have to do.

Incite MHK invites artists to paint murals, holds air guitar competition TAYLOR PARISH staff writer

Incite MHK wraps up its annual multi-week event, hosting artists as they create murals around Manhattan. The event began Sept. 6 and ended Thursday, Sept. 16. Jeff Sackrider, member of Incite MHK, said he is excited to see things up and running again. With the pandemic slowing things down in 2020, the organization did not hold the event this past year.“It was unfortunate that we couldn’t do all of the things that we wanted to do,” Sackrider said. “As you see, now we’re making up for lost time.” “It was unfortunate that we couldn’t do all of the things that we wanted to do,” Sackrider said. “As you see, now we’re making up for lost time.” Local artists and artists from around the country are participating in painting murals, most of whom have not painted a mural before. “I’m really happy that we’ve given opportunities to people in Manhattan that have the talent and the desire to create murals, but they haven’t had the experience or they haven’t had that opportunity,” Sackrider said. Justin Howard, world champion air guitarist, joins local artist Nick Fisher in painting a mural in Manhattan. “[Fisher] called me in May and mentioned that he

had some more murals coming up and asked if I was available to come down and work with him, and of course I said yes,” Howard said. Along with painting, Howard — also known as Nordic Thunder — hosted an air guitar competition Thursday evening. The event featured a workshop on how to play the air guitar starting at 5:30 p.m., followed by the competition at 5:45 p.m. and Nordic Thunder’s performance at 6 p.m. The winner received a $200 cash prize and a painted guitar case for their air guitar. “Air guitar is about building community, having a way to express yourself in a safe space where you can wear a costume and act like a goofball and everyone supports it,” Howard said. “It helps build confidence and it’s entertaining and fun, but it’s also great for the community.” The 10 contestants had 60 seconds to showcase their air guitar skills. Howard said he would love to see the Manhattan community fully embrace Incite MHK this year. “Whether they are participating in it directly or not, they can observe it and share it and take friends with them to go look at all of these murals,” Howard said. Jenn Hudson, Manhattan resident and Kansas State academic art advisor, is a first-time mural painter and

said she is excited for the opportunity this year. “I have shown internationally at galleries in London before, but I am really excited to do this project because it will be one of the few personal projects that I’ll have an option to do,” Hudson said. Many of the murals around Manhattan provide photo opportunities for people visiting or sightseeing and for local residents. A mural that sees a lot of attention is Anotações — “Notes” in Portuguese — a colorful piece created by Brazilian artist duo Bicicleta Sem Frio overlooking AJ’s NY Pizzeria on Poyntz Avenue. “I’ve had people tell me that they have been moved to tears looking at [Anotações] and seeing their daughters or granddaughters,” Sackrider said. Anyone can visit the works while they are in progress and after completion on Sept. 20. The murals are spread throughout Manhattan, with many centralized in the downtown area. The Incite MHK website gives more details about the artwork, air guitar competition and upcoming projects in the community. Community reactions during mural production and a first-hand look at the painting process are also on the website.

Wildstock jumpstarts future opportunities for performers like The Black Creatures CLAIBORN SCHMIDT arts & culture editor

After the inaugural Wildstock music festival, members of the Wildcat community are ready for more live music. Union Program Council and Wildcat 91.9 hosted the concert on Sept. 10, welcoming students back to in-person events. The concert featured Kansas State’s own DJ Krys, K-State alumni Ben Chaverin, hip-hop duo The Black Creatures and headliner Spencer Sutherland. Jackson Berland, junior in theatre and promotions director for Wildcat 91.9, helped pitch and plan the Wildstock concert with the goal of hosting local and national talent. “As promotions director for Wildcat 91.9, my main priority coming into the school year was to reestablish our standards of supporting the music and arts community to the best of our ability,” Berland said. “A huge part of that is in-person concerts. I had the idea to have a major back-to-school concert that could host both local and national talent alike.” He first pitched the idea during the spring semester. Once the event was insured, Berland and Ian Punnett, chief operator of Wildcat 91.9 and professor of practice for the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications, started planning who to invite. “UPC had already scouted out Spencer Sutherland, and me and Ian had about 12 hours to fill … the rest of the concert,” Berland said. Berland heard about The Black Creatures in June while researching for his “Jax n’ Max in the Morning” show on Wildcat 91.9, and said he thought they might be a great addition to the concert. “When Ian said he was looking for a good R&B group, my mind went directly to them,” Berland said. Those who attended listened live to the bands’ unique sound built off different genres and influences. “My favorite performance

was for sure The Black Creatures,” Erick Echegaray, junior in political science, said. “They were fantastic in their mix of R&B and hip-hop. A well-balanced set that really impressed people.” The Black Creatures constantly explore new sounds and rhythms to make music that sets them apart from other artists. “The new record is crazy, it’s more of you,” Patrick Sprehe, president and head of Center Cut Records, said to Xavier, a member of The Black Creatures. “It is also exploring different sounds unlike other artists that are put into a box where Spotify can find you, but the fact is you have so many influences that come out through your music as well.” Xavier said the music he and Jade Green produce not only has meaning but layers that can be broken down and enjoyed on their own as well as together. “[Our songs] definitely have layers, … like a cake or even more like a parfait in that the further down you go into it, consuming those layers, it gets more and more complicated,” Xavier said. “But you can find yourself enjoying any individual layer by itself and call that good.” The Black Creatures make it a point to blur lines within genres while keeping cohesiveness. The band combines pop, hip-hop, dance, R&B, EDM and soul while infusing influences of Kansas City, history, storytelling, sci-fi and fantasy to express their personal creativity and complexity. “We kind of wanted to make pop music sound much more eclectic, much more ironically acceptable, and I think us working for two years, not in front of people, helped us get that edge to pursue that,” Xavier said. “Those two years of making stuff let us hammer down on our sound before getting in front of people, and we have been sharpening our tools ever since then.” Manhattan has heard The Black Creatures’ music before over the air at the radio station, at previous Public Hall performances and during interviews with Xavier and Green on air. The band and record label even

gave Wildcat 91.9 a first chance to listen to the bands’ newest single, “True Friends,” releasing on Sept. 17. “They have been playing music at the station, and we sent them the new single to have the first crack at it besides some other stations in Kansas City,” Sprehe said. The team at Wildcat 91.9 plans to continue bringing new music and artists to the community and classrooms at K-State by bringing back the classroom series, where artists come to campus and play for the radio station and Wildcat Watch in an old classroom-turned-performance studio. “The next year is going to be filled with incredible music from some incredible artists,” Berland said. “Our main priority is highlighting the local Kansas music community as much as we can.” Members of the Wildcat 91.9 team said they are excited to bring more music events to Manhattan, and some students said they are excited to attend more of these events in the coming year. “I would definitely go to more cultural and artistic events like these on campus,” Echegaray said. “It’s what we need more of at the university.”

For some students, it was just good to be back on Bosco Student Plaza with other students having a good time. “It was nice to finally get

back to seeing artists perform live,” Broderick Sieh, senior in mechanical and nuclear engineering, said. More information about

The Black Creatures is available on their website, and details on other musicians signed to Center Cut Records are featured on the label’s website.

Nelson raises $50,000, provides scholarship in Legends Classic softball game COLIN SETTLE sports editor

It was a great day for Kansas State fans as the Jordy Nelson Legends Classic softball game provided a fun environment for family, friends and former players participating in the event. “I think it’s very unique,” host Jordy Nelson said about having the event in Manhattan at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. “Hopefully, it will allow more people to come. We tried to keep the tickets at a reasonable price so that families could be here because I wanted families to be here. I tweeted out today ‘Sunday Funday’ so bring the family to the ballpark.” Nelson has played the game for multiple years now, donating proceeds and other donations to charities in the area. This year, donations went toward the Nelson Family Community Foundation and providing a scholarship to one walk-on K-State player. Nelson wasn’t alone in getting proceeds donated to the organization. The People’s State Bank in Manhattan also helped donate $50,000 to Nelson for his cause. “We’re really looking forward to making that happen,” Mark Post, credit analyst at

People’s State Bank, said. “That was one of the main things we were trying to work towards to get this thing built up and do, so we wanted to help them do that. We love the opportunity to be able to do that. That’s what PSB is about, but more than that, it’s great for Jordy and his group … we’re glad to be a part of it.” Nelson provided the walkon scholarship to K-State linebacker Ryan Henington. “It’s special,” Henington said. “It’s a dream come true, and it’s something that I’ve been working towards since I’ve been here, so I’m extremely blessed and grateful for it.” Henington, a senior out of Junction City, was first recruited as a quarterback before switching to defense, playing safety this past season and finding a starting spot at linebacker to begin this season. “He epitomizes what K-State football is all about.” K-State head coach Chris Klieman said. “He’s worked extremely hard, and when I came here, he was a quarterback. We knew he was athletic and we gave him a chance to move around on special teams and do some things there, then he moved and played some safety for us last year, and then in the spring of 2021 we said,

‘Hey Ryan, we’re going to move you to linebacker,’ and he won a job in the spring and earned a scholarship from us … I’m excited for him to carry the legacy of the walk-ons.” Nelson came to K-State as a walk-on player out of Riley County, making the most of his time playing football for the Wildcats. He said he wants to make sure that the unseen players on the team get the recognition they deserve. “It’s big,” Nelson said. “Coach Snyder had a great tradition of guys walking on working extremely hard and getting on the field and then rewarding them with a scholarship, so it will be fun to recognize that kid today and just continue to keep that tradition in the limelight for all kids, but mainly for Kansas kids that might not get the same opportunity because they might be at a smaller school or people might think that because you’re in Kansas that you can’t play football. But we’ve seen enough of them come through this program that have paved the way for me, and I hope I did the same for others and we’ll keep promoting it.” Former K-State College Football Hall of Fame head coach Bill Snyder talked about how Nelson is now providing

The match included several K-State legends including David Allen, Megan Mahoney, Jeff Kelly and Aaron and Kevin Lockett. the scholarship to a walk-on like himself. “I think it’s significant from where it’s coming from,” Snyder said. “Jordy was a walkon here at our program, earned a scholarship and a significant number of guys that are out here today were walk-ons and earned scholarships … it was really kind of what our program was all about. Earn your way, climb the ladder based on what your values are and your capabilities, and they’ve done that, and this is an opportunity for all these guys to get together

and relish in the fact that they worked their way to help make this what it is today.” Snyder was honored at the event, throwing out the first pitch of the game. Former K-State running back David Allen (1996-1999) also said it is important to recognize players who walk on at the Division I level. “I don’t think people really understand how important those guys are to the team,” Allen said. “Guys who get all the glory — everybody already knows their

name, and it really has to do with the names of guys that people don’t know. Like the Jordy Nelson’s or the guys that don’t necessarily become the Jordy Nelson’s. The guys that come out here just because they love the game. They don’t get notoriety, and some of them don’t even get to play. But they come out here every single day, busting their butts, and without those guys, there aren’t guys like me, like Jordy. There is no team.” see page

Golf teams wrap up competition in two-day tournaments ADAM MEYER staff writer

MEN’S GOLF DAY ONE

The Kansas State men’s golf team held the Wildcat Invitational at Colbert Hills on Monday and tied for third place after the first 36 holes. The Wildcats got off to a strong start, as they shot a 1-over par 289 in round one to tie for first place after the first 18 holes. The next 18 holes were not as strong for K-State, hitting a 10-over par 298 to finish with an overall score of 11-over par 587 to tie for third place on the day. Sophomore Ethan Miller led the Wildcats with a finish in the top-10 and a score of 1-under par 143, entering day two in fourth place. Sophomore Luke O’Neill also placed in the top10 with a score of 1-over par 145, placing him in eighth to enter day two. Junior Tim Tillmanns shot

a 5-over par 149 to tie for 18th place, and Will Hopkins shot a 6-over par 150 to place 22nd on the day. Freshman Nicklaus Mason shot a 9-over par 153 on the day in his debut. Redshirt sophomore Jack Baker shot a 13-over par 157 to finish in 53rd place. Junior Riccardo Leo shot a 14-over 158 to finish in a tie for 54th place.

MEN’S GOLF DAY TWO

Sophomores O’Neill and Miller played a strong final round of golf at the Wildcat Invitational to help K-State finish in second place. As a team, the Wildcats had a score of 2-under par 286 on Tuesday. In the whole

three rounds, K-State had a score of 147 pars, 50 birdies and five eagles. O’Neill’s strong final round led to a fourth-place finish — his first top-5 finish in his career. A third-round score of 3-under par 69 helped him finish with a total score of 2-under par 214. Tillmann had a score of 1-under par 71 in the last 18 holes, finishing in a tie for ninth place.

Junior Haley Vargas played the best 18 holes in her collegiate career on day one, hitting a 5-under par 67. Vargas entered the final round tied for 18th at 3-under par 141. Senior Heather Fortushniak had a strong start but could not sustain it through the day,

ending with a tie for 43rd place at 3-over par 147. Her strong start got her a score of 69 in the opening round. Junior Manon DoncheGay got a score of even-par 144. She tied for 31st place with a score of 70. Freshman Remington Isaac shot a 4-over par 148, and sophomore Napua Glossner shot a 6-over 150.

Know Your Opponent: The Nevada Wolf Pack NATHAN ENSERRO asst. sports editor

Kansas State takes on the Nevada Wolf Pack at 1 p.m. on Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in its final non-conference game after beating Stanford and Southern Illinois the past two weeks. The Wolf Pack are 2-0 after beating California in Berkley, California, and FCS Idaho State at home behind head coach Jay Norvell, offensive coordinator Matt Mumme and defensive coordinator Brian Ward.

OFFENSE:

Mumme is the son of Hal Mumme, one of the founders of the Air Raid offense. The younger Mumme was a quarterback under his dad and Mike Leach at Kentucky and also serves as the quarterbacks coach. Nevada runs a true Air Raid scheme, complete with wide offensive line splits to create horizontal space, fast tempo and quick, short routes to supplement the run game. Norvell has blended in some I-formation and more power running approaches to complement the passing attack. Helming the Wolf Pack offense is junior quarterback Carson Strong, a legitimate NFL prospect with a strong, accurate arm. He’s up for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, the Maxwell Award and the Davey O’Brien Award. His targets are all big, experienced pass-catchers, including 6 foot 6 inch senior tight end Cole Turner and 6 foot 4 inch fifth-year wide receiver Elijah Cooks.

they know each other quite well and are friends from the same coaching tree in his midweek press conference. Their four-man front is big and disruptive, which has helped them hold their two opponents to 4.3 yards per rush and only 147 rushing yards per game. The Wolf Pack base defense trades a linebacker from an extra defensive back to combat more pass-heavy offenses. That leaves six players “in the box” instead of the traditional seven.

KEY MATCHUPS:

Where there’s a Will… The Wildcats will rely on sophomore second-string quarterback Will Howard to lead them against Nevada, and they will need a much better performance than this past week. K-State should scheme to Howard’s strengths and include him more in the rushing attack to try and take advantage of Nevada’s lighter box and perhaps open up some holes in the play-action game. Deceptive D K-State’s defense has to play at least as well as they did against Stanford for the Wildcats to have a chance in this game. Slowing down Strong and forcing him into mistakes will be a key part of giving their offense a chance — which is easier said than done. Point-adjacent stats To have a chance, K-State needs to dominate the non-

DEFENSE:

Ward’s 4-2-5 defense should be familiar to K-State head coach Chris Klieman. Both have worked with the same coaches at different times, including former K-State defensive coordinator Scottie Hazelton and current linebackers coach Steve Stanard as recently as 2019. Klieman mentioned that

point indicators of football success. Things like time of possession, penalty yards, turnovers and non-offensive scores go a long way to helping a team win in the one stat that actually matters — points.

PREDICTION:

K-State’s defense does its part at first, but the Wildcat offense just doesn’t have the horses to hold onto the ball, and the defense gets gassed late. Carson Strong feasts on a tired K-State secondary. Nevada wins a shootout 35-28.

QB play at risk against Nevada LANDON REINHARDT staff writer

It is unlikely the highest-rated K-State quarterback commit since Josh Freeman in 2007 jumps to lead the offense this early in his career. However, the question remains: will the true freshman get a shot? Before Thompson’s injury, Jake Rubley was sitting fourth on the depth chart behind

Thompson, Howard and sophomore Jaren Lewis. However, despite only playing as a practice team member, coach Klieman confirmed that Rubley and freshman quarterback Max Marsh were being brought up for third-team reps this week. Don’t hold your breath on the 12thranked pro-style quarterback getting into the game, but if coach Klie-

man makes it an open competition and Howard continues struggling, we might see the phenom get some real playing time. Catch the game at 1:05 p.m. on Big 12 Now on ESPN+ and Wildcat 91.9 on the radio. As always, check in with the Collegian after the game for recap and analysis. To read more, visit kstatecollegian.com

NELSON continued from page 10

Henington said the opportunity he has been given will not go to waste. “I think I have a lot of people that are counting on me and I just know the sacrifices that my family has made,” Henington said. “My parents, my mom and my dad, people that have played such an instrumental role in my life that have done so much for me, and I just want to make them proud … I just want to give them everything I’ve got.” The “Legends” in the Legends Classic played up to the name, with Nelson hitting 18 home runs in the home run derby, linebacker Jeff Kelly (1997-1998) hitting homers and running around the bases and receiver Darnell McDonald (1997-1998) hitting a home run against Nelson at his own event. “It’s awesome,” Nelson

said. “When I started putting this together and started thinking of the people that I wanted to come and play, I went back to when I was a kid sitting in the south end zone and thought about who I grew up watching, and I kind of became a fanboy, like, ‘This is who I watched and this is who I want to be here,’ and I tried to get it all mixed together and it came together well.” Two “Legends” — including Allen and former women’s basketball star Megan Mahoney (2001-2005) — said the new Shamrock Zone and other projects in the works are important to the university and players. “It’s amazing because it’s come a long way,” Allen said. “Even when

we got here, the things that they were able to do while we were here we thought ‘Oh my gosh, we got a new west side’ and now you come back and you look at it now and it was nothing compared to what it is now. It’s just a good thing to see how far K-State has come and how far K-State athletics and the football program have come, being able to build these types of facilities for the players and for the community.” Mahoney hit on the importance of competing with other schools to be the best at providing support for K-State athletes.

friday, september 17, 2021

“Well, when I came back two years ago, I kind of got a tour of the new facilities and they’re just amazing,” Mahoney said. “I thought they were great when I was here, but I suppose when you’re trying to compete with other big schools, you have to keep up with the Joneses. I think they’re doing a great job here with the beautiful facilities and state-ofthe-art facilities for the athletes to continue to grow and get better and it’s just cool. I love being back.” Coach Snyder said this has been a work in progress for many years now at this point. “We started a long time ago,” Snyder said. “I didn’t want to do everything at once for a variety of different reasons — one being I didn’t want to create more seats than what we had in the stands — so it was a perfect way to add on to the stadium and to add a nice area to the stadium. Being able to house more people than we were going to be able to get. It’s

worked out well and people have been responsive and I can appreciate having a lot of great fans that have supported it and contributed over the years to make it all happen.” Nelson said the event was an overall success and a fun event for the players and friends and families who attended. “I think it’s a fun event, especially when we get it up and running and people are getting a feel for what it is and who we’ll have here and the interactions that they will be able to have with the players,” Nelson said. “I know that all the players that came back

are enjoying it and are seeing everyone, so I think it’s fun.” Nelson capped the day off by winning his own event with a walk-off home run to end the s eve n - i n n i n g Legends Classic game.
