President Myers gives final State of the University address ALEXANDER HURLA staff writer
President Richard Myers highlighted the advancements made on K-State’s 2025 strategic plan during his sixth and final State of the University address at Kansas State. Former President Kirk Schulz began K-State 2025 ten years ago, yet Myers has overseen much of the plan’s implementation. “K-State 2025 defined us as a modern, student-centered, land-grant university valuing and integrating education, research and engagement on behalf of our communities, state, nation and world,” Myers said. “For ten years, K-Staters have done amazing work making real our commitment to this vision and our goal to become a top-50 public research university.” According to K-State’s website, K-State 2025 consists of short- and long-term goals within seven action plan themes covering all aspects of the university. The plan’s
mission is to have K-State recognized as a top-50 public research university in the country by 2025. Mary Tolar, director of the Staley School of Leadership Studies, said the action plan united the K-State community with a common goal. “I really enjoyed the focus and the opportunity to celebrate all that’s happened in the last ten years with the strategic plan,” Tolar said. “A reminder that an inclusive process that engages a lot of voices can come together in powerful ways to direct action on shared values.” While the strategic plan brought people together, Jay Stephens, vice president of K-State Human Capital Services, said Myers’ passion for the university was contagious when he was with others. “I enjoy every time I get to listen to him because I think when he talks about the university, it’s always from a sense of deep love — that’s why he came back, that’s why he’s here — and I think listening to

it reminds me of that and also inspires me to feel the same thing,” Stephens said. Myers also underscored the K-State community’s perseverance through difficult times. “Through leadership transitions, dramatic enrollment growth — and then enrollment challenges — constrained resources, and even a pandemic that is still with us today … the K-State 2025 journey has been exhilarating always and, at times, very challenging,” Myers said. Stephens said Myers’ ability to navigate through adversity would be what most K-Staters remember about him. “I think his legacy really will be leading through crisis,” Stephens said. “You think about all the things that went on during the time he was here … things that could be crippling to the university in a lot of ways, and I think his legacy will be calm, thoughtful leadership during that time.” see page

Beach Museum opens exhibition featuring local photographer Doug Barrett ALEXANDER HURLA staff writer
Photography exhibitions Gordon Parks: Homeward to the Prairie I Come and Doug Barrett: Find Your Voice opened at the Beach Museum of Art earlier this month and will be on display until May 28, 2022. Aileen June Wang, curator at the museum, tends to both exhibitions. She said the partnering exhibits are a perfect fit because of their similar themes addressing segregation, poverty and racism. “I was thinking about what kind of contemporary exhibition I could partner with the Gordon Parks exhibition, so I was playing around with different ideas, and then when I saw Doug’s work, I was like, ‘That’s it!’” Wang said. In 2019, Doug Barrett photographed Kevin Willmott’s visit to Kansas State for the art museum, so Wang said she was familiar with his work. After seeing one of his Instagram posts, she said she felt his photographs would be an excellent addition to the museum. “I started following him on Instagram, and he’s prolific and very active on Instagram,” Wang said. “One of his posts caught my attention. In May of last year, he had posted a series of photographs that he took of the George Floyd protest in Junction City — it was the first one that happened at the end of May — and it was all the backs of people’s heads, and that intrigued me.”
After reading the image caption, Wang said she knew precisely where his work would fit in the museum. “After seeing that post, I started looking more closely at his work and just found him to be such a remarkable photographer — and not just a photographer but an artist. His artistry is in visual images and in texts,” Wang said. “At the time, I was also working on the Gordon Parks exhibition, and it was always my plan to have not just the Gordon Parks exhibition but a partner exhibition of contemporary art. So, that clicked with me that I should have Doug Barrett’s show as the partner exhibition to Gordon Parks, and it just worked out perfectly.” Barrett’s exhibition includes 13 black-and-white photographs covering three different series: Manhattan’s Yuma Street neighborhood, homeless veterans across the country and the George Floyd protests in Kansas. “Any photographer, visual journalist, documentary photographer aspires to have their work in print at some point in a museum’s permanent collection,” Barrett said. “Once you are afforded that opportunity, it’s a checkbox that’s completed, but your work will forever live, and the opportunity to have it at the Beach Museum of Art is a huge honor. It’s humbling.” Barrett, who settled in Manhattan after being stationed at Fort Riley, said it had been a winding journey to this point.

The Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art is holding partner exhibitions including Doug Barrett’s “Find Your Voice,” and iconic works from Gordon Parks. The exhibitions are available in person from Sept. 7, 2021, until May 28, 2022. “I never really thought I could have a career in the arts,” Barrett said. “So, of course, I drifted off into careers that paid the bills and afforded me a way of life, and just due to life happening, I just decided, ‘You know what? Now’s a better time than ever to follow your passion and live through the eyes of the lens that I’ve always wanted to live through,’ and a couple years ago, I did that, and here I am.” It is a journey that also landed one of his photographs in Time Magazine during the civil unrest of 2020. “A lot of the major outlets were looking for inclusiveness within photography, and one of those outlets was ‘Everyday Black America,’” Barrett said. The outlet provides African-American male and female photographers and oth-
er photographers a platform to share their voices through their work. “So, during that time last year, I was posting my work to the page as a contributor, and the editor of Time Magazine called me, told me that he loved that particular image and that he wanted to run it full spread in the magazine during the protests,” Barrett said. However, that was not the only issue in which the magazine would use the photograph. “Then at the end of the year in the ‘2020 in Review,’ they ran it on the first page of the magazine for the end of the year top photos,” Barrett said. “The message on the image — which you can see at the Beach Museum of Art — is ‘Stop the Hate,’ so it’s a key message that will forever live, I believe.” A caption from Barrett
accompanies each photograph, and a selected quote is on the wall above each of the three series. Bella Stark, sophomore in art education, said she appreciates the one above the Yuma Street neighborhood series. “I really like the statement, ‘What I’ve experienced only about through history books, you’ve lived through,’” Stark said. “Every time I walk in there, I read it, and it’s really impactful to think about how the older generation — all of the things they’ve experienced and endured — all of us in the younger generation have only read about and haven’t witnessed it, and it’s very touching to think about.” Wang said while her job is only to present the photographs in the exhibition, she hopes Barrett’s work will affect the people who view
them — similar to Stark. “I think that different people will take away different things from this exhibition,” Wang said. “Different people will be drawn to different images. My hope is every person will find a couple of images that really move them, and they’ll take away something from those that move them the most, and it could be different for every person.” Along with that impact, Barrett is aware he is photographing similar themes to what Gordon Parks photographed decades ago. “I’m photographing the same things: segregation with Yuma Street, poverty with homeless veterans and racism within the civil unrest and the protests of George Floyd,” Barret said. “So, it’s ironic, but at the same time, it’s a huge honor.”

Queer studies minor exposes students to important ideas MARGARET LATENSER staff writer
The queer studies minor at Kansas State is designed to help interested students learn more about queer history, become advocates for other students and learn to recognize and navigate discrimination in the workforce. Rachel Levitt, teaching assistant professor in the Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies Department, said the minor is not limited to students interested in career-specific LGBTQ studies but is an asset to all students’ job retention after starting their careers. Levitt, who serves as the minor’s co-director, said it is important for students to know the minor exists if they want to learn about queer history or if they want to be a proper advocate for other queer students. “It is amazing because we often think of majors as a specific field someone wants to go into, but a mi-
nor can give you the background you need to succeed in whatever field you are going to be in,” Levitt said. Through the minor, students are exposed to different lessons that explain queer history, development and conflicts. Being aware of these topics is essential in the workforce, Levitt said. “A cool thing about a minor like this is it gives you the understanding to not only get a job but also keep a job,” Levitt said. “We often talk about job placement, but a queer studies minor helps with job retention because you are going to be able to uphold non-discrimination policies to their fullest.” Levitt said it also helps give people the foundation to succeed in all professions because they learn how to be properly inclusive in the workplace. “You are going to be able to understand and accommodate the needs of LGBTQ populations because you have the structural, ideological, and interpersonal under-
standing of the way that transphobia and violence play out within queer populations,” Levitt said. Levitt said students in the minor come from a variety of majors and follow many different career paths. “Whether you are someone who wants to make their career doing advocacy work for the queer population, or if you are someone who wants to be the kind of dentist that LGBTQ people feel safe taking their kids to, these courses are perfect,” Levitt said. Based on his personal experience and after graduating from K-State in 2019 with a minor in queer studies, Adam Carr, project administrator for the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Student Affairs, said another reason students should consider adding the minor is if they are queer themselves. “As a student and a queer person, I thought this was a great way to expand my understanding of our communities and our identities,”
Carr said. “To me, it gave me a deeper understanding of the community and the history.” Carr said the courses he took through the minor also helped him understand his identity and gave him ways to connect to the students he works with at the DMSA office. “When you are working with students from historically marginalized communities, having that deeper understanding of yourself helps you find ways to connect with students and understand their challenges,” Carr said. The discussions on various identities helped Carr develop a better connection with people who have different experiences than himself. “Being a cisgendered, white gay man, my experience of queerness is very different than people who have other identities within being queer,” Carr said. “So, getting to explore and learn gave me a better connection to people with identities
I do not share.” Besides learning about different identities, the minor is helpful and informative for students interested in activism, Julia Coverdale — junior in anthropology and diversity chair for the Arts and Sciences ambassadors — said. “To me, the minor means a lot as someone active in the queer community at K-State,” Coverdale said. “It’s given me tools to become a better queer activist and person, as well as to learn more about queer history, especially through an intersectional lens.” The queer studies minor requires 15 credit hours, including one required core course — Queer Studies: Concepts, History, Politics — and four additional elective courses found in the undergraduate catalog. More information about the queer studies minor is on the Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies website.

Lil Nas X debuts eponymous album ‘MONTERO’ JARED SHUFF editor-in-chief
Montero Lamar Hill — better known as Lil Nas X — recently released his long-awaited debut album, “MONTERO.” The 22-yearold rapper and singer/songwriter shows off his musical and emotional range in this 15-track album. Featuring musicians like Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion and Elton John — just to name a few — it’s no surprise the album has so many hits. Lil Nas X has made quite the name for himself over the past few years, especially after releasing his Grammy award-winning song “Old Town Road.” He since released multiple chart-topping singles like “MONTERO (Call Me by Your Name),” “SUN GOES
DOWN” and “INDUSTRY BABY,” — the latter featuring rapper Jack Harlow. After coming out as gay in June 2019, Lil Nas X made a point not to hide his sexuality. Despite backlash surrounding the subject matter of his music videos — along with the infamous “Satan Shoes,” — Lil Nas X has not let the haters tear him down. Opening with the title track, “MONTERO (Call Me by Your Name)” tells the story of toxic infatuation and unrequited feelings. There’s organized upbeat chaos to the song, matching the lyrical and visual context of the song. In the music video, Lil Nas X is clearly criticizing the way religion vilifies and dehumanizes the LGBTQ+ community. When everyone already says you’re going to
hell, why not go down on a stripper pole? “DEAD RIGHT NOW” breaks down the fake interactions Lil Nas X has experienced since his music blew up. Whether fake friends or the strained relationship with his mother, he lets them know he doesn’t need them anymore, singing, “I’ll treat you like you’re dead right now / I’m on your head right now / You wanna f--- with me so bad right now.” Featuring rapper and singer/songwriter Doja Cat, “SCOOP” has a simple, catchy chorus and a sick verse by Doja that just makes you want to dance along. Lil Nas X knows his worth with this song as he raps, “They lookin’ at my wrist, now watch it hit back / My ex hittin’ my phone, tryna get back / Don’t you hit me with that, ‘Miss
you,’ I ain’t with that.” Lil Nas X shows off his range in genre with “LOST IN THE CITADEL,” which sounds more pop-rock compared to his other tracks. It also shows off his vocal range and ability, using his higher register in the energetic chorus and his lower register in the calmer verses. You can hear the emotion in his voice when he sings, “I need time to get up and get off the floor / I need time to realize that I can’t be yours.” Sticking with the rock genre, “LIFE AFTER SALEM” is a slow rock ballad about being stuck in an empty relationship where feelings have faded. He no longer knows who his lover is or what they want from him. These conflicting emotions are showcased with an intense guitar instrumental.
Closing out the album is a duet with Miley Cyrus on the song “AM I DREAMING,” a simple, heartbreaking song consisting mainly of acoustic guitar and some strings during the chorus. Cyrus and Lil Nas X reflect on how their experiences in the music industry have shaped them — both positively and negatively. He opens the song, “Every song, every dream filled with hell from beyond / As I’m sinking, I relive the story.” He has bittersweet feelings about his success, especially given the public criticism he’s experienced. The songs I’ve highlighted show off the range of the album, but there are many more amazing tracks to listen to. With this being his debut album, Lil Nas X should have a bright future ahead in his music career.
MYERS continued from page 02
At the end of the address, Myers reflected on the adversity K-State has overcome. “As we prepare for a new leadership transition, I’m hopeful for the future,” Myers said. “The state of the university is sound — very sound — and we have weathered many challenges, and we’ve proven as a team, as a community, our mettle.” He closed his final State of the University address with an optimistic outlook on K-State’s future. “Thank you for all you’ve done, each and every one of you,” Myers said. “Let’s build an even greater future for our great university. We can do this. It’s been an honor serving as your president.” The entire State of the University Address is available to watch on K-State’s Faculty Senate website.

New Hale, Same Heart: Students reminisce, explore Hale Library after reopening GRACE MORRISON staff writer
Nearly a month into the school year, students have been able to experience the new — and reminisce on the old — Hale Library. While all floors in the newly renovated and restored Hale are now open to students, the legacy surrounding the library remains unchanged. A fire in fall 2018 forced this pillar of the Kansas State community to close its doors to the public. While the fire was contained to the roof, the combination of water and smoke damage created a need for restoration throughout the entire building. “I was really sad because I didn’t know where I was going to study, and I love the library … especially Hale,” K-State alumna Maria Martin said. “I just kind of felt like I wasn’t going to have 100 percent of academia at my fingertips, and I knew that I would have a different college experience than my siblings and my family because I didn’t have the opportunity to study in Hale, or to have the 24hour windows in Hale during dead week anymore, because they were gone.” News of the fire came as a shock to the larger K-State community as the space had been a dependable study area for decades. Any student that ever relied on Hale was forced to consider other options for studying, printing or renting books. “I think some of it pushed me to study a little bit differently,” Martin said. “So I still studied as close as I could to what I normally did, but I started to use different buildings on campus.” Instead of going to Hale in between classes, Martin occasionally sat in the hallway outside of her next class to study or talk with her classmates. “It caused me to find different, quiet study spots that were still productive but also close to people so that I could see friends and see professors,”
Martin said. By the end of her senior year, four of five floors in Hale were open to students. While Martin said aspects of the old Hale did need updating, she was happy to see certain parts of the library — the main staircase, original tables and chairs and the paintings in the Great Room — had been carefully restored, not replaced. With nearly three years of construction crews and campus staff working hard, students from around the world can experience the new Hale library this year. Favour Bassey, international student from Nigeria and junior in mass communications, only stepped foot in the new Hale after the renovation process began. “I think right now it’s really cool,” Bassey said. She said she appreciates Hale’s cleanliness and organizational structure and enjoys the many floors and study spaces available to students. Bassey said she often finds herself using the many amenities Hale offers students. “We have the help desks that will help you … if you don’t know how to use a scanner, or you don’t know how to print … there is always someone there to help you,” Bassey said. “They want to help you.” Despite the many renovations and a full year closed to the public, the building offers student interaction in ways that make it feel like no time has passed. “It was really interesting for me to walk in as a senior who had used the old Hale and had visited the old Hale when I was a kid visiting my sisters or my brother at school,” Martin said. “Even though there were students who had never walked into Hale before, they still did the exact same things as former K-State students … I still saw people sitting in the window wells … and hiding away in the classic Hale spots. You would have thought a year and a half of being closed might cause the next generation of K-State
students not to have that … little enjoyment and hiding spots within Hale.” For students like Megan Kinnane, senior in biomedical engineering, Hale is a great place to meet people during group study nights — but not always the best place to study. “I was never really a library study person,” Kinnane said. “I always work much better around people.” Even so, Kinnane said she believes Hale has made a significant impact on the surrounding community. “I think I would call Hale a campus monument,” Kinnane said. “I think for some students a place like the library can feel … stressful because it’s a place where everyone works really hard. For some students, it can feel restful because you can get down to business and just study really well. For some, it’s fun and enjoyable. For some students, it’s just, um, kind of there. But Hale’s a part of everyone’s story. … It’s never been a reprieve for me … but it’s still part of my college experience. It’s still impacted my time at K-State.” For students like Bassey who have attended schools

Hale Library at Kansas State now has all five floors open to the public, including the Great room, various study locations and the new Sunderland Foundation Innovation Lab. from around the world smaller than K-State, Hale can feel massive and enchanting. “For me, Hale is like an adventure center,” Bassey said. “It’s like I was in Hogwarts.” As a little girl, Martin said she looked forward to one day experiencing Hale’s collegiate atmosphere. Born and raised in a family of nearly all K-State
grads, Martin believes Hale is a fundamental part of the K-State experience. “I would see [Hale] … as one of the pieces of the foundation for K-State, and K-State academia, and the K-State culture,” Martin said. “It’s a building that everyone studies in at some point. You can go there and you can see
your friends that are engineering majors, but you can also turn around and see your friends that are music or education majors. … Everyone from each of the colleges will have a lasting impact on Hale, and I think that’s what makes it so special, is that it’s available to everyone and everyone should be able to use it.”

Wildcat Dialogues promotes University Gardens provides study space for students sense of belonging, emphasizes meaningful conversation TAYLOR PARISH
staff writer
KELSEY VOLK staff writer
The annual Wildcat Dialogues event for new and first-year students is centered on creating a sense of belonging and emphasizing meaningful dialogues. With over 800 students participating, 80 volunteer facilitators led over 130 small groups. The event spanned multiple sessions from Sept. 13-16. Hosted completely through Zoom, the event saw students in small groups with a facilitator guiding them through an experience surrounding this year’s theme, “My Story - Your Story - Our Story.” Debra Bolton, director of intercultural learning and academic success, said it’s important to introduce new students to the concept of engaging with their own stories. “How did I develop this lens through which I see the world?” Bolton said. “How did I develop my behaviors, my preferences? ... Every human has that story. Every human has a culture. Every human has more than one identity.” The Staley School of Leadership Studies, Diversity and Multicultural Student Affairs and K-State First — alongside a committee of students and faculty — hosted the event and encouraged students to find common ground. “The lines of separation begin to blur when we start to understand one another,” Bolton said. “We don’t have to agree politically, but having that dialogue helps anybody to say ‘OK, I may not agree with everything you just said, but I re-
spect you as a human, and I am curious about your journey.’” Between discussions, facilitators showed videos of students sharing their stories. Each student told a story about different aspects of their identity. Following the videos, students were encouraged to reflect and then share their own stories. Bolton said one of the goals of the event was to develop a sense of curiosity in students. “We’re all part of the global community,” Bolton said. “The whole thing is just knowing yourself, having the curiosity to learn about others, and maybe even admitting to ourselves, ‘Mine isn’t the only narrative, there are other narratives.’” Jade Valdez-Gomez, sophomore in dietetics, participated in the dialogue and said she saw students become more vulnerable as the discussions progressed. “Sometimes silence pushed us to talk,” Valdez-Gomez said. “There was a point halfway through the dialogue where a wall came down. We got into a deep discussion concerning the things that most people may not see on the outside. I really started to engage with other students and see a different side that they may not have exposed had we not created an atmosphere of belonging and safety.” More Wildcat “Mini-Dialogues” will take place throughout the year for students to attend and engage in dialogue around specific topics and identities.
The Kansas State University Gardens has become one of the major study spots and attractions for K-State students, faculty, staff and local residents. Over the past year, many places closed because of COVID-19 restrictions. However, University Gardens flourished as one of the places that remained open to the public and community. The gardens also provides a place of enjoyment and luxury, offering a source of learning and educational resources. Alexandria Wilson, senior in mass communications, has gone to the gardens more this semester than in previous ones and said she enjoys all it has to offer. “The gardens are a less popular study space than places on campus like Hale and the Union, so it’s an ideal spot when you need some distance from others,” Wilson said. “I also don’t like sitting at a desk for long periods of time so having the ability to visit a less traditional location to work on assignments can help refresh my mind.” The University Gardens offers more than just a study spot on campus. It holds events throughout the year and is also accessible to anyone at K-State or in the community. Events include weddings, tours and flower sales. Samantha Weber, junior in Spanish and psychology, said she has come to enjoy the gardens, using it for personal use. “K-State Gardens make me feel involved in nature while still being on campus, and I get to learn about different types of plants I don’t see every day,” Weber said. “It’s a peaceful place that I can go to, to clear my mind and smell some flowers.” It is a great place to grab coffee and walk around with friends, Wilson said. “Getting to be outside, especially when enjoyable outdoor weather during the school year can be limited, is always better with friends,” Wilson said. Ally Boutte, junior in psychology and nutrition and health, said she became fascinated with the gardens this year. “I was drawn to the garden here because of the wide

Weber said her favorite spot of the gardens was sitting by this beautiful plant-engulfed pergola that contains a bench with a picturesque view of the fountain.
There are many different ways to explore the scenery and blooms of the University Gardens. From Nov. 1-4, the gardens will host a Poinsettia and Amaryllis
Sale. More information about the gardens is available on the K-State website.

Students explore interests through unique courses ELENIA HENRY staff writer
Kansas State offers a wide range of unique courses, perfect for Wildcats who want to try something new. Whether students are looking to supplement their schedule with major-specific courses or explore other interests through electives, K-State’s catalog has something for everyone. Higher education can
consist of more than equations and dissertations. The university has courses like jewelry design, playwriting, jogging, perfect podcasting and many more. For musically inclined students, the History of Rock and Roll course offers a comprehensive overview of rock music from the 1950s on. The course emphasizes connections between historical events and the music they
inspired. Steven Maxwell, associate professor of tuba and euphonium and chair of the wind and percussion division, oversees the course this semester and said students are eager to interact with the subject matter. “Some people, of course, are really interested in [the course], and that’s part of the fun too,” Maxwell said. “I get to share generally about rock ‘n’ roll, but then there are
Religion Directory
certain bands and parts of rock history that students are really into, and having a communication with them about it can be really fun.” K-State electives give students the chance to explore topics they might not come across in their major requisites. Maxwell said the change of environment and the opportunity to try new things has a positive outcome on student creativity and performance. “I think [the History of Rock and Roll course] affects them in a great way,” Maxwell said. “It allows them to see the world from many different views.” Music buffs can alternatively consider related classes
at K-State, like History of Country Music, Songwriting or Music as Protest and Propaganda. The university also has a variety of options for those looking to foray into physical endeavors. Megan Kinnane, senior in biomedical engineering, said she found a comforting outlet in taking the aerial hammock fitness class. “I go straight from my engineering class to this class, and it’s a huge stress relief to go from engineering and math, and concepts that go over my head a lot of the time, to just getting to have fun, play, ask questions and be a person instead of a student,” Kinnane said.

break from Kinnane’s regular routine and a chance to play with new interests, she said the sense of community she found in non-traditional classes is her favorite part of trying them out. “The people I’m in class with are all friendly, and we’re there because we want to be there, not because we have to, so it’s a fun, enthusiastic, encouraging atmosphere,” Kinnane said.

Tennis releases Fall 2021 slate, highlights nationally ranked recruitment class ALEXIS LETTERMAN staff writer
The 2021-22 college tennis season is just around the corner as teams around the country release their fall schedules. Over the weekend, Kansas State tennis head coach Jordan Smith released the team’s fall slate to the general public. K-State’s first match of the season is set for Friday, Sept. 24, in Oxford, Mississippi, competing in the Ole Miss Invite. Matches begin on Friday and conclude on Sunday, Sept. 26. Following the trip to Mississippi, K-State will travel to Charleston, South Carolina, for the ITA All-Americans Championship. Those matches are set to run from Monday, Oct. 4, to Sunday, Oct. 10. After a small break, the Wildcats will return to the courts as they travel to Iowa City, Iowa,
to compete in the ITA regionals from Thursday, Oct. 21, until Monday, Oct. 25. Another small break will follow that competition before the Wildcats close out the Fall 2021 slate with the Big 12 Fall Championships in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The Big 12 Fall Championships are scheduled to run from Friday, Nov. 5, until Sunday, Nov. 7. The Wildcats are coming off a 7-12 finish from this past year, going 2-7 in Big 12 Conference play. K-State entered this past season’s Big 12 Tournament in Waco, Texas, holding the No. 8 seed, and ultimately fell to No. 9 KU 4-3 to end the season. Plenty has changed with the K-State roster since the season ended on April 22, 2021. The Wildcats picked up two sought-after recruits over the summer in Dinora Alloyarova from Engels, Russia, and Florentine Dekkers
from Ammerzoden, Netherlands. This year’s recruiting class for K-State — including Alloyarova and Dekkers — was ranked among the Top 25 nationally by the Tennis Recruiting Network. This is the first time in four years, since Margot Decker departed the team, that the university has received a Top-25 ranking. The Wildcats were ranked No. 14 in 2017. Along with a promising recruiting class, six letter-winners also return to the team, including All-Big 12 selections Karine-Marion Job and Maria Linares. This past year, Job received Big-12 honors in singles and doubles play, and Linares earned recognition for her contributions with Job in doubles’ competition at the No. 1 spot. The team also has the experience of seniors Rosanna Maffei and Ioana Gheorghita and sophomore Manami Ukita returning to the court.

Know Your Opponent: The Oklahoma State Cowboys NATHAN ENSERRO asst. sports editor
The No. 25 Kansas State Wildcats get their first road test of the year in Stillwater, Oklahoma, taking on the Oklahoma State Cowboys in their Big 12 conference opener. The Cowboys are 3-0 and coming off a close road win at Boise State, where the deciding factor was a missed field goal with two minutes left in the game. They have also beaten FCS Missouri State and Tulsa. They have been hit hard by the injury bug this year, with four wide receivers and a running back all questionable on Saturday.
OFFENSE: The typical offense head coach Mike Gundy maintains in Stillwater has been absent the past couple of weeks because of injuries. Gundy’s teams are typically pass-heavy with air raid concepts and a power-run game mixed in. The Cowboys will still spread the field wide and try to attack the stress points that the lateral space creates, but they will likely do a lot of that on the ground. This past week, quarterback Spencer Sanders attempted only 13 passes. That did not seem like part of the game plan but rather a necessity. Without his front line of targets, the redshirt ju-
nior has turned to transfer running back Jaylen Warren. The former Utah State Aggie toted the rock for 218 of the teams’ 246 rushing yards and two of three touchdowns. Sanders is also a rushing threat out of quarterback draws, options and scrambling on pass plays.
DEFENSE: Oklahoma State’s 4-2-5 defense is filled to the brim with experience. Ten out of 11 starters are seniors, and the other is a junior. They are disruptive up front and make life hard on offensive lines trying to open up holes for running backs. They allow less than 100 rushing yards per game and just 2.6 yards per attempt. Boise State had some success with short roll-out passes and quick hitters to the edges of the defense. Opening the field in that way also helped Boise State in the run game. K-State has shown the willingness and ability to do the same thing when defenses start to key in on the running backs.
KEY MATCHUPS: Party like it’s 1989: Neither of these teams will want to pass the football all that much, providing key players don’t make a return from injury. That means it will probably be a ground and pound game where physicality, ball control and field
position are the deciding factors. Good Will Hunting: Sophomore quarterback Will Howard was good enough this past week against Nevada. He made the right decisions on option plays, made good throws when needed, and — most importantly — didn’t turn the ball over. K-State will likely need a repeat performance from the backup signal-caller. Another 68-yard touchdown pass on the second play of the game would not hurt either. Don’t flinch first: This will likely be the type of game where an explosive offensive play or key turnover could turn the game. The Wildcats will be at a disadvantage because of the crowd noise and will need to make fewer mistakes than the Cowboys. A long touchdown run or special teams score could make a difference in a low-scoring, defensive battle.
PREDICTION: After a series of short drives and punts, K-State winds up with good field position and capitalizes. The game is back-and-forth from there, but Howard punches in a short TD run to put K-State ahead for good. K-State 17-14.

The curse of the rankings LANDON REINHARDT staff writer
In the past two seasons under head coach Chris Klieman, the Wildcats are 0-3 in games coming in as a ranked team — excluding games against Kansas. Against a good Oklahoma State team this weekend, can K-State break that streak? Perhaps it’s scheduling or paying too much atten-
tion to the media, maybe even something that none of us know. Over the past two seasons, however, it seems as if K-State plays like a conference champion up until they start getting recognition from the rankings voters.

Soccer looks to stay aggressive entering Big 12 conference play COLIN SETTLE sports editor

MARSHALL SUNNER visual managing editor
The Kansas State women’s soccer team opens Big 12 play on Thursday against the Texas Longhorns. After a promising 5-4 record in non-conference play, Wildcat team members share their thoughts about the upcoming conference schedule. Head coach Mike Dibbini and players said that physicality was one focal point in their success and part of their mission moving forward. “You have to be [aggressive],” Dibbini said. “You have to compete for 90 minutes at this level. If we don’t have that mindset … it’s hard.” One unorthodox way to get a team fired up is to get penalized, Dibibni said. In the game against UTRGV, super-senior Brookelynn Entz received a yellow card in the 25th minute. “It kind of surprised me,”
Dibbini said. “…but it gave us a little bit of energy, and showed that she’s very competitive and has what it takes to win games.” Entz still saw the good in the situation, sharing that she might keep up her foul play. “We need to have that kind of swag as a team,” Entz said. “It probably wasn’t the smartest thing to do, but I have the same amount of yellow cards as goals, so maybe that trend will continue.” As a young program only starting in 2016, K-State saw their best non-conference record so far at 5-4. With Entz being around for most of those years, she is impressed with the team’s direction. “Me being here all these years, to see how this program has developed, and to see those records being set … that’s the reason I came back, I wanted to see that happen, and I wanted to be a part of it,” Entz said. One record on the verge of being broken is Entz’s season goal-scoring record. Set at seven total goals after this past season, transfer junior Marisa Weichel already has
five goals this year. “That would be incredible,” Weichel said. “I would love to beat it … obviously the team is playing really well if we’re scoring goals.” The Big 12 opener on Thursday against Texas is more than just a game, however. This past year, the Wildcats suffered an excruciating 7-0 loss to the Longhorns, a game that featured a score within the first two minutes of the contest and two goals within a minute of each other late in the second half. Dibbini said this is something that has been in the back of his mind going into this game. “I haven’t really talked about it,” Dibbini said. “Me personally, I think about it, but I don’t talk about it. From a psychological standpoint, we just worry about us and what we can do.” K-State takes on Texas at 7 p.m. on Thursday at Buser Family Park in Manhattan. The theme for the game is “WhiteOut” and can be watched on Big 12 Now on ESPN+.
