Union Station by JP’s welcomes students at grand opening Thursday LUKE VOELKER

THE COLLEGIAN

Customers took in the lively atmosphere of the space, talking amongst themselves. Music and the smells of cooking food filled the air while Kansas State memorabilia lined the walls in Union Station by JP’s during its grand opening Thursday. As a gastropub, Union Station by JP’s “focuses on

high-quality food paired with some great drinks as well,” said John Green, associate director of retail operations at Housing and Dining Services. Union Station’s menu features locally sourced items and ingredients, Green said. Twelve of the gastropub’s sixteen beers come from microbreweries in Kansas, and some ingredients come from K-State’s own campus. “We have a diverse menu

of pizzas that are handmade from scratch, barbecue, traditional burgers that are featuring Weber Hall beef,” Green said. “We also have some Call Hall items as well that we’re featuring in the dairy products.” The restaurant offers a versatile setting, suitable for numerous occasions. “[It’s] comfortable and casual, yet it’s also that place where students can have their first dates,” Green said. “It would be

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation has released the name of the man shot and killed by police Monday in Wamego. According to the Manhattan Mercury, Ethan Straub, 25, of Wamego, was confronted by police during an attempted carjacking. Straub fired at the officers, who returned fire. A video taken of the incident recorded 35 gunshots between the two parties. When EMS arrived, Straub was pronounced dead at the scene. No one else was injured. The stock market took a considerable blow yesterday after President Trump announced new tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. According to CBS News, the Dow Jones industrial average dropped by more than 400 points — nearly 1.7 percent

— early Thursday afternoon, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index and the Nasdaq composite both fell by 1.3 percent. The new tariffs will tax steel imports by 25 percent and aluminum imports by 10 percent. Economic analysts fear a potential trade war should other countries, like China, Canada and Mexico, retaliate. The U.S. ambassador to Mexico announced her intent to resign in a memo released Thursday. According to The New York Times, ambassador Roberta S. Jacobson is "one of the most experienced Latin American experts in the State Department." Her resignation in May will come less than two years after her start in the post. The announcement comes amid tension between the U.S. and Mexico, and the president of Mexico recently cancelled a meeting with President Trump after Trump refused to

drop his demand that Mexico pay for a border wall. Earlier this week, Hope Hicks, White House communications director, also announced her upcoming resignation. The Pentagon sees minimal threat in Russia's new cruise missile. Officials said the missile is still in the testing phase of its development and recently crashed during a test launch in northern Russia, according to ABC News. Officials have also been aware of and monitoring Russia's work for a considerable amount of time before Putin showed a video of a test launch to Russian lawmakers Thursday. Putin said the nuclear-powered engine gives the missile unlimited range and will foil existing missile defense technology. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Pentagon said they will continue to focus its missile defense on "rogue nations" like North Korea and Iran.

classy enough to facilitate that.” The restaurant also caters to sports fans, with multiple TVs lining the walls. “I’ll spend a lot of time here with my roommates and friends maybe for games, or just have a few beers on a weekend or something,” Quentin Henricks, junior in finance, said. “It seems like a pretty chill environment.” The atmosphere works toward achieving one of the restaurant’s values, Green said. “It’s important to us that we have a place where everyone feels welcome,” Green said. “That’s what we try to build here, where people can get together to hang out, watch a game or even just as functional as having lunch or dinner.” Kyle Kilner, freshman in engineering, said he thinks the inclusion of a dine-in restaurant in the Student Union is likely to draw the attention of more students.

The K-State Marching Band paraded through JP’s Union Station and played the fight song and other melodies during the grand opening celebration on Thursday. “I think it will bring a lot of older people — maybe upperclassmen — here and spend more time in the Union,” Kilner said.

Men’s basketball finishes regular season play versus Baylor on Saturday JARRETT WHITSON THE COLLEGIAN

It has been a long four months since Kansas State men’s basketball opened the 2017-18 regular season. Nevertheless, March has begun, so let the madness begin. On Saturday, the Wildcats will host the Baylor Bears in Bramlage Coliseum on Senior Day. K-State brings a 20-10 overall record and a Big 12 record of 9-8 into the game, while Baylor is sitting at 18-12 overall and 8-9 in the conference. The Wildcats do have a onegame lead over Baylor, but the Bears have easily been the better team as of late. Since it suffered a 21-point dismantling at the hands of the University of Florida in the Big 12/SEC Challenge on Jan. 27, Baylor has gone 6-3, including upsets of Kansas and Texas Tech. Early in the season it seemed that they would finish in one of the bottom three spots of the conference, but they have snuck their way into the NCAA Tournament

conversation. Over the last couple of weeks, Baylor has bounced around on the bubble, but ESPN Bracketologist Joe Lunardi currently has the Bears listed as an 11-seed. As for the Wildcats, they are clinging on to hopes of making an appearance in the big dance. They have made things harder for themselves in the last week by losing their last two games to the University of Oklahoma and TCU, respectively. Throughout the season, the Wildcats have benefitted from balanced scoring, but in the recent losses, that is something that has lacked. Juniors Dean Wade and Barry Brown have scored in double figures each of the past two games. Sophomore Xavier Sneed registered 12 points against OU, but only had two against TCU. Despite those crucial losses, Lunardi currently has K-State sketched in as a 10-seed. He is projecting K-State to face Creighton, where former Wildcat Marcus Foster currently plays. As of Thursday at 7 p.m.,

Lunardi projects eight Big 12 teams to be in the tournament, excluding Oklahoma State and Iowa State. The last time that the Wildcats and Bears faced off was on Jan. 22 in Waco, Texas. K-State came out on top 90-83 after warding off a Baylor comeback. After that win, K-State had a 15-5 record and has gone just 5-5 since through a rough stretch of the season. Brown led the Wildcats that night with 34 points, adding five assists. Three other Wildcats scored in double figures, including 24 points from Wade. Redshirt freshman guard Cartier Diarra had a nice game with 10 points and six assists. Diarra’s production has dipped since the return of junior Kamau Stokes, so another good outing for him against the Bears would be encouraging. The Bears had six players score in double figures and were led by senior guard Manu Lecomte, who had 18 points and six assists. It is hard to say if a win on

The K-State student section cheers before the game against the University of Texas in Bramlage Coliseum on Feb. 21. The Wildcats took the Longhorns 58-48. Saturday would seal K-State’s spot in the NCAA Tournament, but it would do a lot to get them there. It would also give them

some much-needed momentum as they headed into the Big 12 Tournament next week. Tip-off for the Wildcats and

Bears is set for 1 p.m. Saturday. The game will air on ESPN and on the K-State Sports Radio Network.

Women’s team starts tourney today against KU NATHAN ENSERRO THE COLLEGIAN

Logan Wassall | COLLEGIAN MEDIA GROUP

The K-State women’s basketball team celebrates together during their game against KU in Bramlage Coliseum on Feb. 24, 2018. The Wildcats defeated the Jayhawks 91-67.

The Kansas State women’s basketball team locked up an 8-seed in the Big 12 tournament and a date with in-state rival Kansas on Friday at 6 p.m. Here is how K-State ended up in the eighth seed instead of the seventh position that they appeared to be set up for. The tiebreaker went through six rounds. First, Iowa State beat Kansas Tuesday night to move to 7-11 in conference, a tie with the Wild-

cats. The first tiebreaker is headto-head play, but K-State split the season series with the Cyclones, 1-1. Next, according the Big 12 rules, was their record against the top team, Baylor. The Bears did not lose a single in-conference game. The tiebreaker moved to the University of Texas, then the University of Oklahoma, then Oklahoma State and finally settled on TCU. Iowa State split with TCU, while TCU swept the Wildcats. That tiebreaker is the difference between a potential match-

up with the 28-1 Baylor Bears, who are ranked number three in the country, and the 24-5 Texas Longhorns. Before that date with Baylor, though, K-State will have to do a very difficult thing: beat a team three times in a single season. K-State beat KU in Lawrence in a overtime thriller — 6359 — and then ran the Jayhawks out of Bramlage Coliseum 91-67. The 91 points K-State scored in that game was the second most they have scored this season after scoring 99 against Chicago State. The Wildcats are led by ju-

nior guard Kayla Goth, who averages 16.7 points and 6.8 assists per game. She is one of three Wildcats who have started all 29 games this season. Goth had a double-double in the matchup in Manhattan, scoring 21 points and adding 12 assists. In both games against the Wildcats, KU was led by junior guard Kylee Kopatich.

K-STATE OPINION: Women’s basketball has ability to go far in tournament JULIA JORNS

THE COLLEGIAN

The Kansas State women’s basketball team will play in the 2018 Phillips 66 Big 12 Tournament in Oklahoma City starting on Friday when it faces KU at 6 p.m. The Wildcats are seeded No. 8 as they enter competition with No. 9 KU. K-State finished its season 15-14 overall and 7-11 in Big 12 play. The conference record

reverses last year’s finish of 11-7 against conference opponents. Looking ahead to the tournament favorites, Baylor is favored going into the weekend with an impressive record of 28-1, and 18-0 in conference. The Bears are ranked No. 3 in the country and first in the Big 12. Baylor made it to the championship game of the tournament last year but fell to West Virginia, 77-66. In 2016, No. 4 Baylor beat No. 7 Texas 79-63 with 22 points from Nina

Davis to win the tournament. The Wildcats could advance far in this year’s tournament if they use the same approach as they did against KU and Texas Tech in their last two games. The Wildcats were able to distribute scoring among several teammates and not just have one player stand out.

Lecturer speaks on how design impacts communities ELLIE LIGHT

THE COLLEGIAN

Gina Ford, principal and co-founder of Agency Landscaping and Planning presented a lecture about designing for equity, resiliency and democracy as part of the Oscar S. Ekdal Distinguished Lecture series in architecture and design on Wednesday. During her lecture, Ford spoke about the shifting demographics in America and how design can help to understand the needs of changing communities. "I think landscape architects are uniquely positioned to address some of the challenges," Ford said. Ford said that she hopes that her projects allow people to be interactive with their surrounding infrastructure. Ford shared about the major projects she worked on, including the Chicago Riverfront Project and the New Jersey Shore Project which she said focused on creating

resilient public spaces that are engaging to the communities. For the Chicago Riverfront project, Ford said the goal of the project was to bring a sense of community to everyone visiting the riverfront, which included creating more accessible facilities for disabled citizens. Ford said the task was a "challenging feat." “When you see it, it’s kind of a lot of activity in a short space,” Ford said. “It was really important to us that the planning result in both continuity and connectivity, but also placemaking.” Ford said that celebrating collaboration and diversity in design is an important aspect of her career. At the core of her projects, she said the focus is about promoting inclusiveness in public spaces. "When you embrace diversity, you embrace that everyone sees the world a little bit differently, and therefore design should embrace that,” said Ford. Allyssa Gray, third-year

student in landscape architecture, said the Riverwalk project provided her with inspiration for a landscape design project she is currently working on while also giving her a closer look at what her future in design might hold. “Seeing people come in that have worked on these projects is great because it gives you a deeper understanding,” Gray said. “You get to know the behind the scene areas of these types of projects.” Blake Belanger, associate professor of landscape architecture and regional and community planning said that hosting the Ekdal Lecture series is important for students and faculty members in understanding the prominent topics in design. “They bring in projects that are at the cutting edge of our discipline and they are really professionals that are leading the way in all industries," Belanger said. “We are very fortunate to have this series."

Good leaders are born through honor, integrity, Myers says DACEY HAGEDORN THE COLLEGIAN

Richard Myers, president of Kansas State, taught students about honor, humility and humor at Bridges International’s event, Conversation Cafe, in the Union Courtyard on Wednesday. Myers spoke to students in the Bridges International organization, a worldwide Christian group, about being a leader. Jane Fox, staff member for Bridges International, said the organization works to

“serve international students and give them opportunities to serve.” Fox said this event specifically was designed to give students a chance to meet the president. “We seek to help them with social connections, spiritual resources and student leadership,” Fox said. During his speech, Myers said integrity, selflessness and service are three specific skill sets that allowed him to become the leader he is today. “To be a good leader, you have to have a strong foundation in yourself, which is integrity,” Myers said.

Myers said the most difficult position he held was when he was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “I was sworn into that position 20 days after 9/11 and seven days before we were in the war in Afghanistan,” Myers said. “My whole ten years of chairman, we were at war. Those were tough days. The chairman was the guy that stands on that line between political authority and the military.”

Letter: Three tips on leadership from Kucera

President Myers said he would encourage all students to think about the “Three H’s” which are honor, humility and humor. “They don’t take credit for everything, they understand when they’re foul, they’re going to make mistakes, and their only promises is they will try to do better in the future,” Myers said. “Life is tough at times and sometimes you have to use humor to ease the pain.” K-State graduate Irma Ailon said she appreciated the opportunity to hear Myers speak. Ailon said she felt like learned how to become a great leader and how to impact lives. Prathibha Desman, graduate student in chemistry, said being involved with Bridges International has been very impactful. “[Bridges International]

“What you have here is something very special,” Myers said.

I want to pass along three leadership lessons I have discovered these last couple months. I shared these in last week’s student senate meeting (Thursdays at 7 p.m. in the Wildcat Chamber), and I was asked to share them with the student body. First, it’s not good to double down on a mistake. I have made mistakes during my time at Kansas State. Each time I seem to run toward my mistakes and be honest about them, it usually turns out a lot better than I thought it was going to. Dealing in honesty and authenticity is important even when dealing with people of uncertain intentions. In order to maintain trust as a governing organization,

the best way is usually to embrace the truth, even at a potential personal or organizational cost. Second, we need to keep students in the front of our minds when making decisions. Many times we bring different backgrounds and policy positions to conversations. Yet, if we keep students and student organizations at the heart of our discussions and listen to what they say is not working for them, that is how to arrive at the best student-centered solution — by using the organization’s rules to enact the change that needs to happen to best help students. Lastly, our rules and the way we conduct business might not be best for

students. If the rules do not allow the flexibility necessary to help students address their concerns, then maybe we are holding too tight to our tradition and procedure. If this is the case, maybe we need to rethink or change the way we do business so we can better serve students. Stephen Kucera is a graduate student in accounting and the student support director for the Student Governing Association.
