Editor’s Note

S

ummer evenings and late night drives with the windows down are finally here and it’s time for some fun in the sun. It’s been one heck of a semester for our team and we’re definitely ready for a break.

It’s been such an exciting time since we began this little magazine and we’re continuing to grow more and more every day. Many of our dedicated members graduated this year and it was hard to say goodbye and I don’t know what we’ll do without them, but we know they’re onto bigger and better things. LeighAna Huerter, Alexus Lacy, Savannah Rattanavong, Alexcia Rodriguez, – thank you for your endless dedication and effortless talent you put into this magazine.

Manhappenin’ has already been named Kansas’ best college magazine by KCM and has won numerous awards for design, story, and photography. We have so many more ideas that we can’t wait to share with you. As always, we’re so thankful for the support we’ve received from you all.

From finding out more about the comfy athleisure trend to new and different hair stylists and barbers around MHK, this issue is full of exciting things to check out. Enjoy the rest of summer and come back refreshed as ever – or at least with a nice tan.

And for all the new W ildcats, welcome to the family!

XOXO

Penelope Kendal STANDARD HAIR SERVICES & CURL SPECIALIST

Essence Crain SILK PRESS, SEW-INS (CLOSURE, FRONTAL OR TRADITIONAL & BOX BRAIDS

INSTAGRAM: @devagurl17 FACEBOOK: DevaGurl

INSTAGRAM: @e.samonebeauty1

Penelope Kendall is located in Hair Shapers at 3204 Kimball Ave. She has been styling hair for 14 years. When customers first walk in the shop they have a very relaxed salon atmosphere. It’s quiet and just allows you to receive the “treat yourself day” you deserve. “I think people should come to me because curls are my specialty. I love curls, I love all hair, but curls speak to me.”

Essence Crain is a student at Kansas State studying apparel and textiles. She has been doing hair for four years since she started at K-State. Working out of the comfort of her home, she has a one-on-one girl talk feel.

“People should come to me because they will receive a personalized experience plus walk out feeling beautiful; each of my recurring clients can vouch and say that together with my work and their upkeep we make a pretty good team when it comes to exponential hair growth.”

Tip #1 - Less is more when applying products.

Tip #2 - Microfiber towel is key to avoid frizz.

Tip #1 - When you walk out of a stylist seat whether it be braiding or a silk press, how you maintain and take care of your hair after their work will determine your process of hair growth.

Tip #2 - Make sure you go to someone who works well with your hair texture and is passionate about doing hair, because if they’re not they will not care how it looks, and me, on the other hand, I DO!

Christopher James BARBER INSTAGRAM: @nu_legacyent_ Nu Legacy started out in Junction City, KS before it made its way down the road to Manhattan. Not comparing himself or worrying about other shops, shop owner, Christopher James is able to give all his customers quality service. “Students should come to me because I want to give people the best that I can give them, I’m good and my work speaks for itself.

I am not able to cut everyone but I am looking for students who want the best haircut and I give college prices.” Through an app called “The Cut” customers are able to book appointments with the five star barber.

08 SUMMER 2018

Jourdyn Grant BARBER SNAPCHAT: jourdynalex Jourdyn Grant is another Wildcat who has become popular in the dorms for cutting hair. Grant routinely will pull out a chair in the middle of his room or pull one into a tight bathroom space to line up the hair of guys on campus. “I have been cutting hair since I was 13 but I have been seriously cutting for about 2 years.” Due to the lack of barbers of color, he took on the role and has taking a liking to the job. Supplying students with a fresh look when needed, he believes students should come to him because he takes the craft very seriously. “I take my time with every client to make sure the cut is crisp and I also take cleanliness and professionalism very seriously.

Wildcat Barbershop BARBER When patrons first walk into Wildcat Barbershop, photos of Eric Stonestreet, current and previous K-State athletes and many state representatives grace the walls of the classic barbershop space.

Wildcat Barbershop owner Gary Wood has been working at this location for 15 years, prior to owning another barbershop in Aggieville and a beauty shop. “People should come here because we have the old time barbershop feel. We also have the wildcat symbol and all the memorabilia that represents the history of Manhattan and K-State.” The old school shop supplies hot shaves, hot towel massages, and ultimately a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

Zoey Botkin BALAYAGE, STANDARD HAIR SERVICES INSTAGRAM: @gaiasalonspa Zoey Botkin has been working at Aveda for two years since she was in beauty school at Bellus Academy.

“I took up styling because it was a nice creative outlet.” Aveda offers numerous hair care products that many customers miss out on. 97 percent of the products are naturally derived, which are great alternatives for vegetarians and vegans.

Tip #1 - Coming in for a trim every three months makes hair healthier, longer and stronger.

Tip #2 - When getting ready for bed don’t pull your hair tight in a bun, that causes breakage in your hair and damage to your hair line.

thleisure has officially crept into every facet of the fashion world and can now be considered a new form of couture.

The mix of athletic wear and runway looks demonstrates the fast pace and ever-changing style of current trends. Summer is the perfect time to embrace the bold colors and hot looks that athletic couture is known for. This style movement is not meant to be thought too hard about; in the fashion world if its worn confidently, anything could be the next big thing.

he first date. It’s nerve-wracking. You want to present your best self and checked the mirror a thousand times. Fast forward. Uh oh. You’re probably thinking how did you get here? The person in front of you has been on their phone this whole time and it has gotten awkward.

What SH E says “ THIS IS DEBATABLE, BUT I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE ORDER FOR ME. I’M A GROWN UP.” –– Gaby Riggs “ ROAD RAGE IS DEFINITELY UNATTRACTIVE. YELLING, HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL, TAILGATING, OR EXCESSIVE HONKING MAKES THE WHOLE RIDE UNCOMFORTABLE FROM THAT POINT ON. IT MAKES THE GIRL HESITANT TO RIDE ALONG IN THE FUTURE.” –– Anna Siggers “ I AM VERY TRADITIONAL. A REAL MAN WON’T ACTUALLY LET A WOMAN REACH FOR THE CHECK. A GENTLEMAN WOULD DO THAT ON THE GO. I FEEL LIKE IT’S NOT ABOUT PAYING, IT’S ABOUT THE GESTURE. IT’S VERY EQUAL ONCE YOU’RE DATING.” –– Samantha Thomas “ IF THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THEMSELVES THE WHOLE TIME THEN HE WON’T BE ABLE TO GET TO KNOW YOU, AND THAT MIGHT MEAN HE’S SELF ABSORBED.” –– Klarissa Calvillo “ DON’T CANCEL ON ME LAST MINUTE. I DIDN’T PLAN ON WASTING TIME BY GETTING READY FOR NOTHING. DON’T BE FLAKY.” –– Michelle Oswald

This isn’t what you imagined on your first date. Can you recover? Definitely, it’s just one date. For future reference, though, here are ten things not to do on a first date from both guys and girls.

What H E says “ BE CONFIDENT, BUT NOT COCKY. THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS, NOT JUST WORDS – BEING CONFIDENT LIKE YOU’RE THE ONLY WOMAN HE SEES.” –– Maud Battle “WHEN SHE STARTS TELLING YOU ABOUT EVERYTHING SHE FOUND WHILE GOING THROUGH YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS – IT’S CREEPY AND KIND OF DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THIS DATE.” –– Aaron Moore “ DON’T ACT LIKE SOMEONE YOU’RE NOT OR TRY TO BE

TOO COOL, ‘CAUSE I WANT TO GET TO KNOW THE REAL YOU, NOT SOMEONE THAT WILL DISSAPEAR THE NEXT TIME I SEE YOU.” –– Daquan Davis “ I DON’T LIKE WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THEIR EXES

BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THEY’RE NOT OVER THEM AND WHAT’S THE POINT OF BEING ON THIS DATE IF THEY’RE NOT OVER THEIR EX.” –– Tyron Bowen “ A FIRST DATE TURN OFF IS IF THEY USE THEIR PHONE THE

WORRIED ABOUT SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY THIS SUMMER? CHECK THESE TIPS OUT. written by CAMERON CIRINO

photographed by ABBY PFANNENSTIEL designed by ALEXCIA RODRIGUEZ

Staying in MHK for the summer and worried about spending too much money? You’re in luck because Manhattan is budget-friendly and is full of places willing to give you the best deals! Whether it’s food, shopping, or just plain fun, there’s so many things you can do this summer that won’t have your card declining!

ACTIVITIES

Summer can get boring just sitting around. Grab a few friends and take an adventure to one of the following places.

Wildcat Creek Fun and Fitness is filled with so many activities and even greater deals! There’s mini-golf, batting cages, and even footgolf. They always have coupons available throughout the year and package deals if you get a big group together for some summer fun.

20 SUMMER 2018

Sunset Zoo is also a great place to venture outside with some friends. It’s a great way to get out of the house, and an even greater way to save yourself some money.

Konza Prairie is a perfect place for a summer’s day and the best part is, it’s free! You can grab a few friends, make a day of it and even spice up your Instagram feed in the process.

FOOD It can be hard to get creative with meals on a budget, so if you have a KSU student ID, then don’t be afraid to ask places if there are deals or discounts that won’t leave you or your wallet hungry.

Aldi’s will be your go-to grocery store when you don’t want to spend the summer without cash in your pocket. Their products are reasonably priced and even better than you expect!

Coldstone is another pitstop you’ll want to make on Tuesdays.

They have a buy one, get one icecream for only 25 cents with a valid Wildcat ID. What could be better than that?

Hy-Vee Chinese is a steal when it comes to their student discount.

Head over to the Chinese line at 8:45 p.m. to get two entrees, a side and an appetizer for only $2.50.

POCKET POINTS As a student, you can always download the Pocket Points app to help save you TONS! Many stores and restaurants in the area accept Pocket Points and they help make a tremendous difference in your total. It’s always hard to

$

balance life on a budget, but Manhattan has several opportunities when it comes to getting a good deal around town. Don’t dread this summer thinking you’ll be broke— get excited about all the money you’ll save!

SHOPPING It’s always hard to balance life on a budget, but Manhattan has several opportunities when it comes to getting a good deal around town. Don’t dread this summer thinking you’ll be broke— get excited about all the money you’ll save.

K-State Student Radio Station

Although the shopping in Manhattan may be limited, there are many stores that make it easy to spend money with endless deals and discounts!

Rue 21 is a great place to shop while maintaining a tight budget. They always have some sort of sale happening and cute clothes for both men and women! No matter your style, there is a good chance that you’ll walk out with at least one

thing there that works for you.

Goodwill is always a safe option, especially if you don’t mind secondhand clothes. A whole wardrobe for under $100 definitely sounds appealing and is great when saving money!

Target is an affordable option when it comes to just about anything. Target frequently offers BOGO deals on their trendy clothes, fun accessories and stylish shoes.

lthough topics like discrimination and racism can be uncomfortable, it’s important to openly discuss them, educate others, and bring our community together. As an incoming student, we both encourage and expect you to hold these same standards and help us continue growing stronger together as a university.

Welcome to Kansas State University, the greatest institution in Kansas (shots fired KU) and your new home for the next four (plus) years.

This is a spot that you’ll love full well, a place that has so much beauty you’ll fall under its spell. There will be times that we all may fail, but we will also prevail at our Alma Mater.

Recently, K-State has made headlines not only with the amazing accomplishments that students, staff and alumni have made, but also with the ugly events that have plagued our family. You’ve probably heard of them: the accidental noose, the distasteful KKK “joke,” the white supremacist posters and the vandalized car—just to name a few. There’s no denying that our K-State family has dealt with an absurd amount of hateful or

MANHAPPENIN’ 23

ignorant actions from our fellow Wildcats.

What we’ve done (and plan on continuing to do) to combat these instances is where the true story begins though.

“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Newton’s Third Law was created to explain a physics concept, but it also rings true in regards to the forward action that students have taken in light of these recent events. When it was realized that simply releasing a statement in response to the hate was not enough, students tackled the problem at the root: us. Preaching the beauty of diversity and inclusivity, K-State slowly, but surely, turned things around.

KSUnite was a huge turning point. Classes were cancelled so students, faculty and townies alike could come together to address the issues haunting us. Several speakers turned the focus from what we had been failing to do to what we could do to be better. It was a pivotal moment for all as it restored the family image we were fearful that we had lost.

24 SUMMER 2018

While KSUnite was a huge event for the community, K-State didn’t stop there. We had the honor and privilege of engaging with several influential figures to keep the conversation on diversity and inclusivity going. Kareem Abdul Jabbar joined a packed Bramlage Coliseum during Black History Month. Miguel Cervantes graced our student body during Hispanic Heritage Month. Amanda Seales made an appearance during Women’s History Month. Lea Delaria came in support of the LGBTQ+ community. More than ever before, student organizations made it a priority to encourage us to accept the differences that we all had and to love one another despite them.

With the efforts refocused on the diversity that our campus is blessed with, several on-campus resources and organizations advertised inclusion as a more central part of their missions. Many multicultural clubs gained a greater voice campus-wide. Justice Catron, sophomore in mechanical engineering, said

that “the biggest step for Kansas State is going to be the Multicultural Student Center.

This will show long-term dedication, as well as give a place for those students to be fully welcomed and know that there are people on this campus to support them.”

One on-campus group that has taken an active role in promoting inclusion is the Staley School of Leadership Studies (SSLS).

When asked what incoming students should know about K-State in regards to diversity and inclusion, Bailey Porter, president of the SSLS Ambassadors and senior in biochemistry, said “incoming students should recognize that there are spaces to have these conversations and it’s important that they put in the effort to become

knowledgeable in these subjects. These topics can be uncomfortable, but it is so important to be willing to talk about in our current day and age. By being open to differences and understanding others and where they come from, that will hopefully reflect in their actions towards others and in building our K-State family.”

As you join our family, please know that we are only looking forward. It is the responsibility of us all to pave the way for a better future: a place where every person who comes to our campus feels like they are an equal and cherished member of our family.

Because they are.

So what actions can you take to help in the push for a better environment for all K-Staters?

GET INVOLVED IN MULTICULTURAL GROUPS. There are tons of clubs and organizations that bring together people of varying backgrounds. Show your support and expand your horizons by checking them out!

BE OPEN AND WILLING TO HAVE THE TOUGH CONVERSATIONS. These issues won’t go away overnight.

Having an open mind and a willingness to listen to people that may differ from you will lend itself to a more progressive campus.

28 SUMMER 2018

SPEAK UP. If you see or hear any negative behavior from peers, offer them the chance to rethink. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. made the point that “He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.” Being a bystander who does nothing is just as guilty as the perpetrator.

CHALLENGE YOUR OWN VIEWS. Coming to college is a huge transition.

Your world and worldviews will change and expand and you will encounter a variety of people that you’ve never been around before. Get to know and understand these differences. Embrace the diversity that K-State has to offer!

staying fit, we’ve compiled the top 15 things every incoming K-State student should know before arriving. Review this guide before starting your new adventure here and you’ll get the hang of it in no time!

DINING HALLS

Dining halls don’t have to be detrimental to your diet. If you have a meal plan like many incoming students do, you don’t have to give up on maintaining a healthy and fit body in exchange for greasy, fried foods. They’re tempting, but definitely not the only option! Switch out your pizza, fries and daily ice cream for a trip to the ever-changing salad bar with a side of fruit. Treat yourself to comfort foods on occasion, but try to find healthier options on a day-to-day basis. They’re out there!

“Everyone has some rough times in college. You’re not alone. Talk to someone.” — Brock Edwards, sophomore in business administration.

INTRAMURAL SPORTS Intramural sports are a thing. Were you a former high school athlete? Do you want to join a sports team for the first time? No matter what your athletic experience is, there’s an intramural sports team for you! Anyone can join and compete against other intramural teams. And don’t worry, there are all levels of competitors out there so don’t be intimidated! Check out more information at https://recservices.k-state.edu/intramurals/.

OUTDOOR FITNESS If outdoor fitness is more your style, check out the several trails that Manhattan has to offer! The Konza Prairie is popular among students and Manhattan residents alike. Located just off the highway, the Konza is a scenic hike of varying lengths that are suitable for anyone. If you’re looking for something a little closer to town, try Linear Trail or the Manhattan River Trails.

LAFENE HEALTH CENTER Lafene Health Center is yours to utilize. Lafene offers tons of services ranging from general medical check-ups to lab testing, nutrition assistance, drug and alcohol education, counseling services, and so much more. Take advantage of it when you need to, because it’s free for students to meet with a healthcare professional! Fees only apply to actual medical treatment including labs and prescriptions.

“Don’t be afraid to branch out and meet new people. It’s scary at first, but you never know who you’ll meet; they could end up being your best friend.” — Colin Echols, sophomore in management information systems

“One of the most helpful pieces of advice I have gotten for college is to find your passions and pursue them.”— Regan Headrick, junior in human development and family studies.

ADVISERS Every student is assigned an adviser. Your adviser is your go-to for any questions you may have about your curriculum requirements, general K-State inquiries and resources you need. This person typically stays with you for your entire K-State career, unless you change majors, and they are willing to offer their guidance whenever you may need it. Get to know your adviser. They’re there for YOU.

CLUBS & ORGANIZATIONS There are nearly 500 clubs and student organizations that you can get involved in at K-State! Whether you’re looking for a religious organization, professional/academic club, honorary society, spirit organization, multicultural group or arts and culture club, there’s something for you. Be sure to check out the activities fair on campus in the fall or spring to get a better look at the different options available to you and join a few groups that pique your interest!

SOCIAL LIFE Not everyone is out partying. Going into college, most students think that partying is the only way to meet people and fit in. That’s not true! In fact, you’d be surprised how many people aren’t partying every weekend. Don’t be embarrassed if that’s not your style because you truly aren’t the only one!

“Use the K-State campus map; either get the app on your phone or find a physical copy! You might still be confused the first couple of days, but it helps. Also don’t be afraid to ask other students where to go if you’re lost.” — Sierra Marstall, junior in public relations.

PARKING Parking on campus can be a hassle. When buying your parking pass, you’ll likely have the choice between an R pass (for on-campus residents) or an O pass (for commuters). These passes correspond to what areas of campus you can park at during the day. However, after 5 p.m., you can park in just about any lot regardless of your pass. For more information on parking services, check out https://www.k-state.edu/parking/.

Before you know it, you’ll be leaving Manhappiness just as soon as you got here. Study hard and go to class. Focus on your health: physical, mental and emotional. Make it a priority to be social and enjoy meeting new people. Most importantly, make sure you take time to enjoy it while it lasts! Sadly, it doesn’t last forever.
