appy fall ya’ll. I love this season because not only does it have the perfect weather, but it means it’s time for sweaters and hot drinks and leaves changing color and so much more. A huge part of our theme this issue was adventure since we know how important it is to have a little excitement in your life. Whether it be trying new recipes, going to a rec class for the first time, or enjoying fall acitivites with your loved ones, life is all about making the most of it. In this issue we had the chance to photograph and interview Pete Souza, former White House Photographer for Obama and Reagan, and that was an adventure itself. We’re so thankful we had the chance to include him in this issue and we hope you find something in here you can relate to and enjoy. Our goal is to feature the creativity and unique people, events, trends, and hobbies around us here in Manhattan. We’ve been finding so much already and we love providing ya’ll a platform to enjoy it all. Some of you have already heard of us, but we’re still growing and we’re so thankful for everyone who supports us. Thanks so much and have a Emily Lenk, great semester! Editor-in-chief

ebekah Mally, senior in apparel and textiles marketing, has begun incorporating fashion with music to create unique, commissioned works of art. For $50 a pop, Mally turns jean jackets into wearable album covers. “I think jean jackets are really fun, because you can pair them with anything, and it makes it very unique to you,” Mally said. Mally also said that denim is the ideal material to paint because it is sturdy and the colors don’t bleed through. She has painted other material as well, including a dress that took 1st place in the K-State Apparel Marketing Design Apparel fashion show, “Into the Woods”, last spring, but complained that thinner fabrics become crispy and crunchy once painted. Two of Mally’s recently painted denim jackets feature Chance the Rapper’s “Coloring Book” and “Acid Rap” album covers. Chance the Rapper is a hero and inspiration to Mally, who admires him not only as a musician, but for his social activism in his hometown of Chicago, where Mally visits twice every year. “One of my top dream jobs would be designing all the merchandise for Chance the Rapper. That would be so dope,” Mally said. Mally is currently planning two more commissions, Beyoncé and Migos album covers. Although she is willing to paint other subjects, 06 FALL 2017
she prefers album covers because she is passionate about uniting people through music. “Music is so transcendent between all races. It’s like sharing a part of yourself with the world, and then you can have a connection with so many different people,” she said. “It’s a very unifying thing because then you know you have something in common.” She is also passionate about helping victims of sex trafficking, eating disorders, depression, institutionalized racism and systematic poverty. She hopes to contribute a percentage of future profits from the clothes she sells to organizations combatting these social issues. “My number one passion is social justice, and exploring what that means,” Mally said. Mally’s long-term goal is to own a clothing store based in “street” fashion, but including a line of swimsuits designed for a diverse range of body types to help women feel more comfortable, physically and emotionally. “I want my whole company to empower women and have it be a community where women can help each other,” Mally said. For the time being, Mally wants K-Staters to know that she’s open to painting anyone else’s jean jackets before she graduates. “It gives me something to do...and it’s very soothing for me. Plus, it keeps me from going out, and that is a good thing, 100 percent,” Mally said. Mally can be reached by direct message on Twitter (@ beksterloves) or by email (beksterloves@gmail.com).

Britt’s Farm
Walking into the Britt’s Farm store, you can see tables, shelves and coolers of colorful fruits and vegetables. Locally-grown peppers, squash, melons and more are right next to the homemade jams, salsas and soaps. Children run around barefoot, and an eight-year-old might be the one helping you check out behind the counter. Britt’s Farm is a family business and has been since 1948. Richard and Angela Britt bought the farm from his parents, who had bought it from their parents. Along with growing their fruits and vegetables year-round, Angela said they put a great emphasis on educating the public on types of vegetables and how to cook them, and she and other employees are e ger to help customers learn. “(My favorite part) is showing customers how to pick a watermelon, how to cook a pumpkin, favorite recipes,” Angela said. “It’s really a lot of fun explaining what I have and how I grow it.” The community is welcome to pick their own strawberries and blackberries when they are in season, and there are many other events that welcome the community to see what that farm is all about. “It’s a chance to get behind a tractor even if they’re city kids,” Angela said. Besides the annual pumpkin patch, Britt’s Farm also sells Christmas trees around the holidays and hosts a variety of community events like bonfires for groups. There’s a petting zoo during pumpkin patch season and many other things to wgive people a taste of farm life. “It’s showing customers how to pick a watermelon, how to cook a pumpkin, favorite recipes,” Angela said. “It’s really a lot of fun explaining what I have and how I grow it.” 10 FALL 2017

Aesthetically Gram Worthy
written by: LAKEN HORTON photographed by: LYNDSEY PISKA
A
s a high school student when we started our Instagram accounts most of us started with posting random photos of our food, dogs, shoes and sometimes, one too many selfies. As we matured and developed over time so did our posts. Instagram has become quite the branding tool for models, online boutiques and blogs. While it’s being used as a marketing tool for some, it has become a reflection and theme of life for a few of our fellow Wildcats. A themed gram is surrounded around one thing food, fashion, travel, etc. sticking to the one thing can be hard, so choosing an aesthetic allows more freedom. With an aesthetic you can post your photos based off of colors in the background, changing up the contrast, or simply throwing the same filter over every post. Take it from these wildcats, they don’t care about likes or comments, it’s all about what they feel and what represents them.
16 FALL 2017
@JaliyahDrenise – Reflect you, no one else. Jaliyah Brown, K-State 2017 alumna, has used her posts to market and reflect her website since she started blogging. By spending a lot of time editing and placing the A6 filter on each photo through VSCO a popular, she has created a vibrant and earthy aesthetic. “Although, I spend quite a bit of time on each photo, most of the time it’s me overthinking each post,” she said. “For people looking to create an aesthetic in the future: Don’t try too hard or overthink, it’s just an Instagram. Be who you are and allow your page to reflect you, no one else,” state Brown.
@vivianspocket – State of heart, state of mind There’s a lot that goes into each of Vivian Nguyen’s posts. Some of her photos are staged to create a story. “I’ll think of an idea and it will become more of a conceptual or narrative piece,” Nguyen, junior in mass communications, said. She posts based off of color schemes, but also things that she likes and that allow her to think. Nguyen shares many photos that reflect her thoughts and feelings, posting photos that embody the state that she is in at the time. Nguyen’s page has a naturally neutral theme. When looking at her photos, many of them are nature and the simple things in life viewers are able to refocus and realign, because sometimes we get so caught up in our busy days. “My aesthetic is light-hearted, airy, (and) simplistic, but it gets people to think,” she said. “My page is just my state of heart and mind.”
@HannahEckenroth – Instagram can be a vulnerable place, you just have to go for it. “It is definitely a true reflection of my emotions and my mood.” Whether posting selfies, or photos of family and friends, Eckenroth’s goal is to bring some inspiration to people through her Instagram, and take them out of their comfort zone and encourage them to be confident in posting photos on their pages. “A lot of my friends find themselves being afraid to post photos other than selfies because they may not get enough likes and all I can say to that is, ‘Who cares?’” she said. “It is social media. I’ve come to the point where the more I’ve used Instagram, the less I care about likes. I want to share what I want to share and I don’t care. I am expressing myself.”
@brookeelizabethhello – I can post six photos in two days, I don’t care. Brooke Roberts is one Instagrammer who chooses the same filter to bring all the photos in her grid together. She has a strategic system when it comes to choosing pictures: taking more than 30 photos in one sitting. When she finally looks through all the shots, she chooses the one with the least amount of movement. She is not your typical Instagrammer, defying the unwritten rules of Instagram. She does what she wants and she encourages new and old users to do the same. “When people tell me they’re nervous to post, I tell them ‘Look, it is social media and it is what you want to make it.’ I can post six photos in two days, I don’t care. I think the most important thing to know on social media is to spread the love. Instagram can be super powerful,” Roberts said.

PETE SOUZA story by: EMILY LENK photographed by: EMILY STARKEY
“Here I was, this young kid, 20-something, suddenly standing in the oval office every day,” Pete Souza said as he leaned back in his chair with a crooked smile, reminiscing of his time at The White House. “I never imagined I’d be here today. I’ve had some great opportunities in my life— mostly because of luck, and a little hard work I guess.” Souza is most known for being the Chief Official White House Photographer for former President Barack Obama, and has also previously worked as the national photographer for the Chicago Tribune based in their Washington bureau, a freelancer for National Geographic, and Official White House Photographer for former President Ronald Reagan. Souza has covered stories all around the world. After the Sept. 11 attacks he was among the first journalists to cover the fall of Kabul, Afghanistan, after crossing the Hindu Kush mountains by horseback in 3 feet of snow. “The most difficult set of pictures were the ones I made in Afghanistan just because of the challenge of actually getting there,” Souza said. “And then you know, trying to make pictures when there’s bullets flying over your head and rocket-propelled grenades whistling through the air.” Souza received his undergraduate degree in Boston, Massachusetts, where he planned to be a sports writer. That is, until junior year when he took his first photography class and changed his career forever. “I think the first time I had a print come up in the developing tray, I was like, ‘This is magic,’” Souza said. “But when I finished my undergrad at Boston University, I wasn’t a very good photographer at all. I needed to build my portfolio.” That’s when Souza applied to be a graduate teaching assistant for photography at K-State. He had never been west of the Mississippi River, but after being convinced by Don Holt, an agriculture-journalism professor at K-State, Souza packed his 62 Volvo and made the unexpected move to Manhattan. “A big turning point for me was this place here,” Souza said. “I started figuring things out here because we treated it as if it was a regular daily newspaper, not a college newspaper. We took pride in the photographs we made, and had arguments with the editors about the display and the whole thing. We took it seriously so I think I learned the most here. Then every step of the way, every job I had, I learned more. Doing it every day forces you to learn how to do it.”
MANHAPPENIN’ 19
After K-State, he spent his time working for newspapers like the Hutch News, The Chicago Tribune, and The Sun Times. Thanks to a Kansas connection, Carol Greenawalt, and the potential position she encouraged him to apply for, he landed his first gig at The White House. “Suddenly you’re thrown into this position where it’s such a new and unexpected experience,” Souza said. “It took a while to get used to, but after a while, you realize everyone is a human being. The president of the United States isn’t that different from you and me, in the sense where he has to brush his teeth every morning just like you.” After leaving the White House the first time, it was a difficult time for Souza as he spent a few years freelancing. There had been times where he wondered if it was
“
“It takes a while to get other people to understand why you’re in every meeting of every day,” Souza said. “Obama understood what I was trying to do in terms of documenting his life for history and after the first six months, he just kind of forgot I was there taking pictures for the most part. Because of that relationship, I had a unprecedented look at everything he did. I was at every single meeting he ever had—a lot of the family functions, private family functions. I’m real proud of that work.” Souza was the first White House photographer to use Instagram as a platform to share behind-the-scene photos of Obama’s life at the White House, as social media had began blowing up at that time. “I don’t think people really knew much about me

”
time to change his job. However, working on stories for the Chicago Tribune was what led him to many unique experiences, including meeting then-Senator Obama. “I had been working at the Chicago Tribune when he [Obama] was elected to the U.S. Senate from Illinois and I was based in DC for the Tribune, so a reporter and I decided we would do sort of like a document of his first year in the Senate,” Souza said. “Because of that, I spent a lot of time in his presence. He sort of got to know me, saw how I worked, and made some pictures of his family that he really liked. And then four years later, he was elected to be president and he called and asked me to become his chief photographer.” Because this was his second time being White House Chief Photographer, Souza already knew how the system worked and was familiar with the job.

or my photography then, but because of social media, a lot of people know about my Obama pictures,” Souza said. “I was determined to document his presidency better than any other White House photographer has ever done for a president; that was my goal.” Obama and Souza still remain in contact today as good friends. “He has a pretty good sense of humor, sometimes really sarcastically, which I think is why he and I get along so well,” Souza said while glancing down at his phone. “I mean like right now, I’m having a heated Scrabble game with him online. I’m winning, but he usually wins at the end. Mistake I made was giving him a list of the two-letter words.” Yoichi Okamoto, the first official U.S. presidential photographer for Lyndon B. Johnson, was one of Sou

za’s biggest inspirations and he takes pride in letting his own work speak for itself. “I tried to take his approach of always being around to get that moment and he became the person I looked up to the most,” Souza said. “But I never had the chance to meet him, though. I do take pride in that more than anything I think I’ve been a role model for official photographers for other presidents and prime ministers across the world. I think I’ve had an impact in that way and I’m proud of that.” Souza’s advice for those who want to become successful in their career is to maintain good relationships with all people you work
with because you never know how you can help each other down the road. “Something that happens when you get to my age is that you start reflecting on the different paths your life took,” Souza said as he looked around the Collegian newsroom with wide eyes. “These are things I haven’t thought about in a long time. As soon as you walk in you start remembering. When I look back at all these different roads I took in my career, every single time, the path leads back to K-State – especially the Collegian. I think that’s where I really learned my craft. It was the beginning of my life as a photographer.”

T
hrough Kansas, California, Washington, Colorado and France, winery couple David and Danielle Tegtmeier traveled until their paths led them back to the Little Apple. Manhattan’s first winery, Local Art Winery, opened in the summer of 2016 after years in the making. Its opening brought a wave of customers eager to visit the winery after quickly gaining attention from newspapers and radio stations alike. The winery founders designed and created the space that is now Liquid Art Winery at the Flint Hills. The winery hosts 200-300 customers every weekend according to Danielle, and it’s become a must-see attraction in Manhattan. A great deal of inspiration was drawn by David’s Study abroad in Bordeaux, France in 2008; there he discovered the resemblance the soil in Bordeaux to Manhattan and set out to build a winery by the hillsides similar to ones in France. Enchanted by his study abroad experience, David scouted a hillside spot for the vineyard in hopes of bringing France’s charm to the town by breaking the habit of regular wineries. The couple wanted a place where visitors could admire the scenery, rather than just administer a wine tasting service. “The experience to us is the biggest thing,” Danielle said. “We wanted it to be a tasting room, where we wanted the experience to be where people come in, enjoy the Flint Hills, sit back and enjoy a glass of wine.” Walking into the winery, visitors are greeted to the small living room area surrounding the fireplace. The layout of the space allows attendees to move around and socialize; the enclosure is divided so that the customers sitting can easily converse with their neighbors and allows for easy movements to the bar and to view the merchandise set up next to it. The winery caters to wine lovers with its public tasting room and hosting guests on the outside patio, as well as the inside event center. The patio’s view looks out to the 60 acres of vines, as well as the amphitheatre. The view of the enchanting Flint Hills as well as the architecture of the winery relaxes visitors as they enjoy a glass of wine, a piece of the European culture the couple were inspired by. Curiosity-driven, David set out to pursue a career in winemaking from an infatuation with grape vines and wine’s unique chemical components at a young age. “[I] fell in love with… and became fascinated with the chemistry of the wine,” David said. “It’s always different, so many factors make something so different.” Planting the vineyard, David was dedicated to digging the field and planting the 25 main varieties of grapes himself. His mission is to make all the wine from produce they plant and harvest, introducing a new agricultural feat in the state of Kansas. “A lot of passion for the vineyard is proving that Kansas can grow,” Danielle said. With such grape production comes the challenge of expanding the winery and stepping into distribution. Their plan is to scale their current one to a size that no one else has ever achieved in Kansas, David said. In following their pursuits, the couple is currently expanding the vineyards by adding a few more acres of vines and are getting ready to start planting more grapes in the spring. The two are also packing wines for online shipment and order. “My plan is to make the Manhattan area here into a wine country of its own,” David said. MANHAPPENIN’ 27

Rape Culture Awareness WARNING: This article contains potentially triggering, sensitive content. Sexual violence is prevalent, and may be described somewhat graphically. A list of resources is available on page 37 for those affected. written by: MOLLY BURT photographed by: GEORGE WALKER & OLIVIA BERGSTROM

Excitement. Friends. Music. Thrills. Sweat. Beer. Shots. Punch. Dizziness. Dark. Quiet. Confusion. Hands. Pain. Fog. Horror. If you’re a woman in college, you probably know what just happened. In fact, according to a 2015 survey released by the Association of American Universities, there’s over a 20 percent chance you’ve lived this. If you’re a college guy, there’s a five percent chance you have, as well. Sexual assault. Molestation. Rape. K-State’s 2017 Annual Campus Security and Fire Safety Report says that there were 11 rapes reported to campus police in 2014, seven in 2015 and 11 in 2016. Of the 29, 13 took place on campus. Dr. Sarah Wesch, psychologist at K-State Counseling Services from 2004-2015, encountered multiple cases involving women who were assaulted after being incapacitated by alcohol and violated at parties around Manhattan. “They may have nightmares, insomnia, and panic attacks,” Wesch said. “Seeing the perpetrator of the assault will heighten the symptoms. Concentrating on school work becomes difficult. Often, when rape cases become public, there is a backlash and blaming of the victim. It becomes very isolating. Students often drop out or transfer universities.” Many rape survivors, angry and humiliated, seek justice by undergoing more than two hours of invasive, painful testing at the hospital to collect evidence against their attacker. Unfortunately, their efforts are often fruitless. Earlier this year, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation revealed that 2,200 rape kits have gone untested across the state. “It’s rare for victims in these kinds of assaults to get justice,” Wesch said. “It turns into a ‘he said/she said’ case. Even though she was unconscious during the act. Even though Kansas law states that someone impaired by alcohol cannot give consent.” With such dismal conviction rates, it is unsurprising that rape culture continues to spread even in a relatively low-crime, everybody-knows-everybody Kansas town like Manhattan. Wesch defines rape culture as “ways in which our culture normalizes behaviors that are related to sexual assault.”
Problems Wildcats Face
Here in Manhattan, this means female K-State students are often catcalled on the streets and faced with blatant rape promotion. “Living near a bunch of frat houses, I get cat-called very often, even in the middle of the day. It makes me feel somewhere between annoyed and demeaned. At night, it’s just scary, because I can’t see if they’re coming up from behind me,” Katie McWilliams, a senior in chemical engineering, said. On K-State’s move-in day this year, as thousands of new students and their families flooded into Manhattan, they were confronted by spray-painted signs along main roads. The signs, placed in front of privately owned homes, bore darkly suggestive slogans like “FRESHMAN GIRLS DROP-OFF” and “HOPE YOU’RE 18!!” “I think it sends a message: don’t bother reporting if you get raped, no one is going to believe you, because that’s the kind of culture we have here,” McWilliams said. “And I think it’s depressing because people are actually going to believe that.” According to Wesch, pointed ignorance, public backlash and victim-blaming are not uncommon for K-State students who have been attacked. “We tend to blame others for what happens to them because it keeps the rest of us feeling more safe and in control,” Wesch said. “For instance, if we can blame a rape victim because of how she dressed or what she drank, then we imagine that we can keep our own daughters safe. It also keeps us from facing the fact that a young man who we care
“ We tend to blame others for what happens to them because it keeps the rest of us feeling more safe and in control... It also keeps us from facing the fact that someone we care about may have made a grave mistake.” about may have made a grave mistake.” Wesch also said some people doubt the existence of these kinds of assaults, imagining a scenario like the first scene in the movie “Knocked Up,” where two adults--their judgment impeded by alcohol--enthusiastically participate in sex. “That’s not rape, that’s just a poor choice…” Wesch said. “That’s not what’s going on in ‘party rapes’ and ‘date rapes.’ Often, drinks are being concocted, in advance, to impair young women. The women are so impaired that they are unconscious, or barely conscious, during the act.”

Marco Saucedo, a junior in political science and a community leader within the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, agrees that rape culture often stems from a lack of conversation about it. “It’s just one of those topics that nobody ever wants to talk about, like suicide, and you just kind of let it happen, and then when it happens, everybody’s outraged by it,” Saucedo said. Saucedo encourages his fraternity brothers to watch out for situations at parties that could lead to sexual violence. “I can tell you that everybody’s got each other’s backs,” Saucedo said. “Whenever we see something that might be leading in the wrong direction, we always stop it, say ‘Hey, let’s just go outside,’ or create situations to avoid a bigger problem. We do manage that a lot. We don’t want to end up like other organizations that have been kicked off of campus for those kinds of things.” Pi Kappa Phi also maintains a closed-container policy at parties to avoid the use of date-rape drugs or excessive amounts of alcohol in the drinks they serve. “It’s like when you go to the store, you don’t want something that’s already open because you’re like, ‘What the hell, there could be anything in there,’” Saucedo said. “We’re trying to stay here for a long time, not a good time.” Saucedo says the fraternity has rape-prevention measures in place outside of parties as well. Each new member undergoes a seven-week training course designed to teach core values and morals intended to promote positive behavior. Signs have also been posted around the house to discourage sexual assault. Saucedo says he doesn’t think organizations like fraternities are at fault for the majority of sexual assault at colleges, but rather individuals and their upbringing. “In Greek life, you join the organization based on people like you,” Saucedo said. “So it’s like-minded people who get together, and then it’s issues that aren’t always addressed because of how they were taught or raised, or social media told them a certain way. That’s just what they’ve known and nobody’s ever told them differently.” Saucedo says that talking about sexual assault is the best way to combat the issue, and encourages leaders in Greek life to speak up about it. “If people with a voice use their voice for good, to talk about stuff like this, they could change a lot of things,” Saucedo said. “It might just be one person, but one person might just be enough to change everyone else.”

“I was sexually assaulted by someone who lived in the dorm that I lived in.�
Q&A with survivor. (Rape culture ctd.) Survivor wishes to remain anonymous. What happened to you? I was sexually assaulted by someone who lived in the dorm that I lived in, on a different floor. It happened in the dorms. Initially I went to a party. It was the night before the first football game last year. I went to a party and I knew I wasn’t planning on drinking. I had a cup of soda in my hand just so people wouldn’t ask me if I wanted a drink or anything. I was with my friends the entire time...until I wasn’t. I still never know exactly what happened, but everything kind of points to me being drugged with something. I guess it wasn’t that strong because I ended up kind of waking up from whatever blacked-out state I was in. I must have been coherent enough to walk, because I somehow got back to my dorm from this party we were at. It was a random house party. I actually have no idea where it was. It happened in my dorm. Somehow I got back into my dorm. I kind of came out of the blackout 30 seconds into it. And I just immediately told him to get out. I was still in state of incoherence, I had no idea what was going on, so I ended up just falling asleep. The next morning I rode my bike to Walgreens and got emergency contraception, because I had no idea what had happened, and that was the last I did to address it. So you know who attacked you? Yeah, in a way. I saw him occasionally in the dining halls, but I never... After that, I’ve always done this thing when something bad has happened to me, that I immediately block it out of my mind and pretend that it didn’t happen. I guess I do that so often that I guess it’s just this sort of lying to yourself like convincing yourself it didn’t happen so it didn’t happen. So it never even registered with me whenever I would see him again that he did something to me. It never clearly registered. How do you feel this has affected your life since then? It’s just made me take a step back, and think about how it can easily happen to anyone. I had always told myself I was a smart girl, and that wouldn’t happen to me because I was careful. I would never get to that point of drinking too much, and that’s not an excuse for it to happen to anyone, I just always held myself to a higher standard and now I know it can happen to anyone. What more do you think could have been done to protect you or other girls like you? In hindsight there’s always something you can do, but looking back on it now, not that this is ever an excuse, I hate it when people use this excuse, but I wasn’t even wearing anything that was...I was wearing a shirt and jeans. I wasn’t drinking that night and even if I was, this isn’t a punishment, like sexual assault should never be a punishment for drinking too much. Your only punishment should be a hangover. I mean there’s just so many things on so many different levels that you can do. I mean, I don’t really know how they could do it in the dorms, just some sort of other system. You have to check in, so I imagine I was checked in, but I don’t know, that’s where I don’t know that process of what happened… I say this now, I never came forward publicly until now. I told my close friends recently in June. That’s when I told my friends and mentioned it to
my mom that something had happened to me. We need to give women more resources to come forward and to not be afraid to come forward. It’s even scary to come forward anonymously. I don’t know how we really can, but that’s the biggest step, is to come forward and not be afraid of repercussions. There really shouldn’t BE repercussions for coming forward… Women are so scared that something worse can happen to them. It just keeps dragging on. I think the reason I didn’t come forward is that I wanted to never think about it again. I just wanted to move on with my life. It wasn’t a good thing to do but I never really had any really serious... I just never thought about it again. Now I think about it, I’ve admitted to myself that it happened, and that I got out of it. I’ve worked through it now, I talk to professionals about it now. I feel bad for saying it didn’t do any really serious psychological damage to me. I know for a lot of women, it does. What do you wish you could say to the person who assaulted you, or to other people who assault women? To other people who assault women, I’d say honestly, eff you for thinking you have to drug someone to think you’re having a good time, and to put someone else in physical danger and in a mental state where they feel they need to block out that memory. Why do you feel the need to do that? Why me? Not in the sense that they should choose someone else. Why do that to someone, whether it was me or any other girl? What was the thought process that went into it? Based on what you've experienced, what do you think are some common misconceptions about how sexual assault occurs, especially in this area? They automatically go to ‘Well, maybe you shouldn’t have been drinking,’ or ‘You shouldn’t have let that happen to you.’ They go along with victim-blaming. They don’t even try to see the side of the victim, like how in a situation like that, you’re completely helpless, especially if you’re drugged. Even if you’re not even drinking that night, but somehow still drugged, but coherent enough for other people to think that you’re fine. Maybe you were drinking too much so people automatically thought that was all. Do you regret not going to the hospital or speaking to the police? I regret not going to the hospital or speaking to anyone. I didn’t even speak to K-State services. I know since we both live in the dorms, it could have been resolved. Since I knew who my attacker was… I was too scared to come forward, and I regret that. Is there anything you'd like people to know about your situation or rape culture in general that would help them to gain a better understanding? I want people to know that it’s okay to come forward. And that it’s not your fault. If it happens to you, don’t blame yourself. And it’s never too late to come forward. I always thought it was too late to come forward, to talk to anyone at K-State, or to talk to a police officer or even a health professional. While they couldn’t get any physical evidence of it happening so long after, just talking to a professional about it. It’s never too late to do that.
MANHAPPENIN’ 33
evolution of rape culture: APRIL 2016 Title IX lawsuits filed by former K-State students Sara Weckhorst and Tessa Farmer catch national attention after being reported by The New York Times. Weckhorst and Farmer allege that the university violated Title IX by failing to respond to their reports that they were raped off-campus.
SEPTEMBER 2016 Brock Turner, a Stanford University swimmer convicted of violently sexually assaulting an unconscious woman, is released from jail after serving half of a six-month sentence due to "good behavior." People across the country express outrage at the light sentence.
OCTOBER 2016 A recording taken in 2005 of current president Donald Trump emerges, showing him bragging about sexually assaulting women. Trump tells Access Hollywood's Billy Bush that because he is famous, he can do what he wants to women, even "grab them by the pussy."
MARCH 2017 1) The latest of five active Title IX lawsuits against K-State opens, alleging that the university failed to "adequately respond to and investigate allegations of sexual violence," according to Office for Civil Rights docket #07172072. 2) 13 Reasons Why, a popular television drama about a teenage girl's suicide, is released on Netflix. The show is criticized for extraordinarily graphic rape scenes in two separate episodes, despite trigger warnings. Netflix later adds a warning card to the very beginning of the series, and revises warnings before other episodes. The show also inspires a widespread controversy about the necessity of very graphic rape and suicide scenes in media. 3) The Kansas Bureau of Investigation concludes a voluntary, statewide audit of sexual assault kits by revealing that 2,200 have gone untested, and submitting approximately half to forensic labs for testing.
34 FALL 2017
LOCAL AND NATIONAL EVENTS contributing to the current cultural climate regarding rape.
JULY 2017 1) Police ask for the public's help in catching a potential serial rapist, masked and carrying a handgun, after a 2015 rape investigation is linked to twelve rapes and one attempted rape committed in Lawrence and Manhattan between 2000 and 2008. Visit www.kansascollegerapist.com for more information about the rapist's description and modus operandi, a timeline of linked rapes, safety tips and a resource list. 2) The Kansas Personal and Family Protection Act takes effect at K-State, allowing the concealed carry of handguns on campus. Female students express concerns that rape will become much easier and more frequent if rapists are allowed to carry guns nearly everywhere.
AUGUST 2017 1) A petition from a former K-State student criticizes the publication of advertisements for Mustang Gentleman's Club in the Collegian and demands their removal. Signed by almost 2,000 people, the petition insinuates that Collegian Media Group is aiding in the local perpetuation of rape culture. The Collegian ad staff responds in an online article, refusing to remove the advertisements and expressing the difference between "demeaning perpetuation of rape culture" and "promot[ing] a business that operates under the laws of Kansas." 2) Jared Gihring is found guilty of raping Sara Weckhorst at Sigma Nu fraternity house in 2014 and sentenced to 12 years in prison. He is found not guilty of raping Crystal Stroup, who said he raped her at University Crossing in 2015. 3) Two signs reading "FRESHMAN GIRLS DROP-OFF" and "HOPE YOU'RE 18!!" go up on busy streets in Manhattan on K-State's move-in day. Students and their families express outrage about the blatant rape suggestions.
SEPTEMEBER 2017 1) End the Backlog, an initiative to reveal and eventually test the thousands of untested rape kits in America, indicates in their most recent update that over 175,000 have been back-logged across the country, meaning that over 175,000 rapes have gone unsolved. See www. endthebacklog.org for more details. 2) Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announces the withdrawal of Title IX rules guiding schools' handling of sexual assault investigations. DeVos controversially refers to students accused of sexual assault as "victims," saying their due process rights have been unfairly denied, according to CNN. 3) The Riley County Police Department asks for the public’s help in finding a man who broke into a 20-year-old woman’s home and sexually assaulted her. The man is described as white, in his early 20s, with an average build and thick-rimmed glasses.

K-State provides several rape-prevention safety measures for students, such as an ASAP (or Alcohol and Sexual Assault Prevention) program that K-Staters are required to take annually to warn against unhealthy relationships, substance abuse, and sexual assault on and off campus. To protect students walking on campus or through the parking lots, K-State installed bright blue emergency phones that can be used to call for help in dangerous situations. The most effective options for students concerned about traveling home alone in the dark are Wildcat Walk and SafeRide. Wildcat Walk provides safety escorts around campus at night by either pressing the button on the blue emergency phone poles, or calling (785) 395-7233.
Alternatively, SafeRide offers rides home for anyone living with Manhattan city limits between the hours of 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. Thursday through Sunday. The SafeRide bus routes are available on K-State's website, and they can be reached at (785) 532-6541. Finally, K-State encourages students to download an app called “LiveSafe,” intended to easily connect them with the police. The app includes report tips for sharing information with the KSUPD, a safety map, safety alerts, location-sharing in emergencies, and a “Safewalk” feature that allows students to virtually monitor friends’ locations as they move along the map. It can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.

anhattan, as a college town, is known for its famous bar scene so we thought we would do a little exploring and take a trip around town discovering new drinks (or at least new to us). We went from place to place asking them what their specialty drink was, what made it special, and of course, when they’d have deals. It was a fun Thursday afternoon to say the least and we met a lot of people along the way. We hope that after reading this you have a little inspiration to try something different than the “usual”.
Slurpee Where: Tanner’s Bar & Grill How much: $3 on the weekends & $4 on weekdays Tanner’s sports bar is located at a prime spot in Aggieville and Manhattan. It’s known for its delicious food and even better en- vironment. One of their specialty drinks is the slurpee. It is made up of Cruzan black cherry rum, sweet and sour mix, Sprite, and cranberry juice. They are $3 on the weekends and a base price of $4 any other time. It is more of a bomb than it is a drink, but you can drink it however you’d like. 38 FALL 2017
Nancy Where: Taco Lucha How much: $2.50 every day Taco Lucha is also located in the bar district of Aggieville. Taco Lucha is known for their variety of tacos and their famous raspberry bean dip, but also for their Nancy. A Nancy is an Old Milwaukee beer with a few ounces of pineapple juice and you can get it any day for $2.50. eir most popular taco is their Bu alo Chicken Taco composed of cheddar cheese, cabbage, jalapeno ranch, bu alo sauce, avocado and bacon, all wrapped up in a our tortilla for $3.50.
Salty pub Where: Bourbon and Baker How much: $9.50 Bourbon and Baker is a cool restaurant, bar, and bakery located on Poyntz in downtown Manhattan.

MINI Beer Shot Where: Wahoo Fire and Ice Grill How Much: $2.50 Wahoo Fire and Ice is a full service restaurant and bar at the east end of Aggieville. Their signature drink is not a drink or a cocktail at all, but the mini beer shot. It looks like beer in a mini pint glass, but is actually made of Licor 43 and heavy cream. Megan Schuldt, owner of the bar, said, “The shot will make you feel like a giant and tastes like vanilla ice cream.”

Pumpkin Roll With Cream Cheese Filling www.sixdollarfamily.com INGREDIENTS: For the cake: 3 eggs, room temperature 1 cup sugar 2/3 cup canned pumpkin 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 3/4 cup flour Small amount of powdered sugar for dusting Kitchen towel
Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
For the filling: 8 oz cream cheese, softened 4 Tablespoons real butter, softened 1 cup powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla
When the cake is done, let it cool for just a few minutes then turn it onto the towel. Do NOT let the cake cool entirely. It has to be warm to get through the next steps without ripping to pieces.
INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a jelly roll sheet. Line the sheet with parchment paper Lightly grease the paper. Sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar onto the parchment paper and set it aside. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar on a low setting until they’re wellcombined. Add the other ingredients, one at a time and mix well after each one. Pour the cake batter evenly into your jelly roll pan.
While baking, combine all of the cream cheese filling ingredients in a bowl and mix well until it has a smooth spreading consistency. Take a kitchen towel and lay it on a flat surface. Using a sifter, snow powdered sugar all over the towel.
Remove the wax paper and trim any ends that are crispy or uneven if desired. Spread the cream cheese filling onto the cake. Next, grab one end of your towel and flip it up over the end of the cake. Then, very slowly and carefully, ROLL the cake into the towel. Yes, you’re making a cake/towel log. Once you’ve got the roll started, remove the towel from your cake log and finish rolling it up. Make sure you move slowly when you roll. You’ll tear the cake if you move too quickly. Carefully set it aside and let it cool completely. Chill the cake for 2-3 hours, then slice and serve!

Harvest Caramel Corn
INGREDIENTS: 10 Cups of Popped Popcorn Salt 1 Cup Butter (Sweet Cream Salted) 1 Cup Brown Sugar 2 tsp. Vanilla 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda Mini Rollo’s Harvest Blend M&M Candy
INSTRUCTIONS: Start with approximately 10 cups of popcorn. Once you have the popcorn made, salt it liberally. Melt 1 cup of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 cup of brown sugar and stir until thoroughly mixed. Stirring continuously, bring the
butter and sugar mixture up to a boil. When it reaches a boil allow it to cook for 5 minutes without stirring. Add the 2 tsp. of vanilla at the 4 minute mark. After boiling for 5 minutes, add the 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Drizzle 3/4 of the caramel mixture over the popcorn. Use a spoon to gently fold the popcorn with the mixture until the kernels are all
covered. Save 1/4 of the mixture to the side. Pour the popcorn out onto a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil or a silpat liner. Now you need to get your Harvest Blend M&Ms and Mini Rolo’s to add to the Harvest Caramel Corn. To get the candy to stick to the popcorn, drizzle the remaining
http://www.twosisterscrafting. com/harvest-caramel-corn/
