U.S. moves warship, radar platform closer to North Korea

e U.S. Navy is moving a war-ship and a sea-based radar plat-form closer to the coast of North Korea in order to monitor the country’s military moves. Accord-ing to CNN, the Department of Defense said these are the fi rst of what may be other naval develop-ments.

North Korea has used increas-ingly menacing rhetoric in recent weeks, including threats of de-ploying nuclear weapons. e U.S. has continued to carry out annual joint military exercises with South Korea despite the threats.

The Student Governing As-sociation’s referendum con-cerning the K-State Student Union expansion will be held online April 10-11. The Union expansion vote will decide whether or not the K-State Union will be able to receive the structural upgrades it needs and the expansion of other features intended to im-prove student life. As of now, some students are still unsure about the decision.

“Something I am concerned about is where construction materials will be during the construction or renovation or whatever of the Union,” said Shelby Starr, freshman in ac-counting and finance. “I don’t know how I am going to vote yet, because there are so many questions that I have that have yet to be answered. Where will the construction materi-als be placed? Will the access between the parking garage and the Union be limited or blocked off? Or what about Pat Bosco Plaza? Will this con-struction limit the access to the land near the Union or the Union itself?”

Your Union campaign co-chairs Brett Seidl and Chelsea Gerber, both juniors in public relations, have been adver-tising on campus and visit-ing student groups to answer those questions.

“All of the changes are with students in mind,” Seidl said.

“Students already pay for the Union. Because the Union is paid for with student privilege fees, the Union is ineligible to apply for state funds to further expand or renovate it.”

If the referendum passes, the construction will take place in increments. The $20 increase in privilege fees will

begin in the fall 2014 semes-ter. Between the time that the referendum passes, if it does pass, and August 2014, the architect will be chosen and focus groups will be created to establish what the Union needs and how it should look. This could take as little as a year, and the construction

could begin as soon as the summer or fall of 2014.

Seidl said many of the con-struction materials will most likely be made off-site, then brought to campus for the construction. This will allow Bosco Student Plaza, as well

After years of playing each other in the Big 12 Conference, the Wildcats and Cornhuskers do not see each other as much as they used to, so both teams are eager to grab the victory whenever they play.

In tonight’s match, the K-State baseball team (18-10, 3-3 Big 12) will look for the team’s second victory of the season over Ne-braska (11-15, 5-1 Big 10) in as many games. This would give them a season victory over the Cornhuskers for the first time since 2010.

On March 29, the Wildcats were able to squeak out a 10-8 victory in front of their home crowd at Tointon Family Stadi-um.

Tonight, the Cornhuskers will send junior Tyler King to the mound, where he is 1-0 on the season. However, he has an ERA of 11.37 and has been known to struggle with command on his pitches. Look for K-State to try and work the count against him, forcing him to leave something over the middle.

The Wildcats will send freshman Blake McFadden, who sports a 1-1 record on the season, to the mound.

Some call it a Cinderella story. Others might be insulted by the suggestion that the Wichita State team was never considered a seri-ous contender in the NCAA tour-nament.

NCAA basketball: Texas Tech to hire Tubby Smith as head basketball coach

According to ESPN, former Minneso-ta head coach Tubby Smith has agreed to become the next coach at Texas Tech. e school has not confi rmed the reports, releas-ing a statement saying that “there is current-ly not an agreement in place” between Texas Tech and Smith.

In six seasons with Minnesota, Smith led the Golden Gophers to the NCAA tourna-ment three times, including a win over UCLA in this year’s round of 64, the program’s fi rst tournament win. He was fi red last week fol-lowing Minnesota’s elimination at the hands of the Florida Gators.

Texas Tech has not made the NCAA Tournament since Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight retired in 2008. Since that time, the Red Raiders have gone just 69-104.

MLB: Harper highlights opening day as youngest player to hit two homers

Harper accounted for both his teams’ runs in a 2-0 win over the Miami Marlins.

Monday, prosecutors in the trial of alleged movie theater shooter James Holmes, who is accused of the murder of 12 people at a midnight movie screening last summer, rejected an off er from Holmes’ legal team to plead guilty in order to avoid the death penal-ty.

Prosecutors and defense attor-neys said that now that Holmes is facing the death penalty, the case will take longer to bring to trial. A judge pushed the trial, originally scheduled for August, back to February 2014.

Immigration legislation pro-posal expected this week

e bipartisan group of sena-tors known as the Gang of Eight working out immigration over-haul legislation said they expect to have a draft bill agreeable to their circle by the end of the week, according to CNN. However, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a member

of the group, said in a statement it was “premature” to consider the deal struck.

e legislation will reported-ly contain a path to citizenship for undocumented workers and illegal aliens currently in the country. CNN said that one of the Gang of Eight’s goals is to rede-sign the procedure for allocating visas and that the proposed bill would prioritize visas for busi-ness purposes over those for family members.

One of the fi nal steps for the Gang of Eight is to ensure the support of businesses and labor unions on the outlines of a guest worker program, which Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Sunday had been completed.

Air pollution linked to over 1 million deaths in China

According to the New York Times, a study found that out-door air pollution contributed to 1.2 million premature deaths in China in 2010. Research-ers found “ambient particulate matter pollution” to be China’s fourth most common risk factor for death, behind dietary risks, high blood pressure and smok-ing.

e study, led by an institute at the University of Washington and published in a British med-ical journal, the Lancet, ranked air pollution at seventh on the worldwide list of risk factors for death.

audience. We don’t want to just conserve [the prairie], we want to preserve it for future generations.”

College students are already connecting with the striking images.

“I’ve always liked storm pictures. I’ve lived in Manhattan all my life and these pictures really captured them and my life here,” said Isaac Kahl, senior in automotive business at McPherson College, who visit-ed the collection on its opening day.

In conjunction with the exhibit, FHDC is hosting a prairie photography workshop on April 6 at the Rock Springs 4-H Center and May 11 at the British Ranch. The cost is $9 for members and $10 for non-members, and participants must bring their own cam-eras. The event will allow photographers of all ages and skill levels the chance to photo-graph land not usually open to the public.

Brandenburg is a Minnesota native well-known for his landscapes, National Geo-graphic work and photographs of wolves. He is also the founder of the Brandenburg Prairie Foundation. Along with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the foundation has purchased 800 acres of land in Rock County, Minn., that is now home to the Touch the Sky Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge. Some of the ex-hibit’s pieces are shot there, and others

were snapped in North and South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, Oklahoma and Wisconsin.

“I first experienced a world without trees,” Brandenburg said about growing up on the prairie. “My first memories are of a landscape with an incessant wind and a bright open-sky sun. The visual language dialect that still seems to translate with the deepest meaning in my work is that of the open sky prairie-like landscape.”

While the FHDC does have an area spe-cifically for children, the building and ex-hibits are designed for all ages, and visitors are encouraged to return even just to spend time in the building.

The “glass cylinder” is open to the public, featuring free Wi-Fi and tables for small groups. The terrace, with its view of KS Hill and display of native plants along the paths, is available to rent as a party space and open every day for anyone to enjoy the view. The Blue Earth patio across the street has a splash pool and fountain in the summer and a fireplace in the winter.

The exhibit can be found in the second floor gallery and will be available for view-ing until May 26.

Makeup, labels protect against judgment, do not make someone ‘fake’

Recently on Instagram, a makeup artist posted before and after photos of her clients, who were all by some degree involved in adult entertain-ment, with and without makeup.

e odd part of this story was the comments on the artist’s site and on several news sites where the story was car-ried and reposted. Generally, readers took off ense to the

women’s use of makeup, saying that without it they seemed more human. Some of the news coverage tended to agree, saying that the girls before and after looked like entirely diff erent people.

is critique largely follows a societal trend toward the public shaming of “fakers.” e idea here is that girls who wear makeup are fake. is is almost a “Blade Runner”-esque prob-lem of not knowing what is real and what isn’t. First of all, do men in particular really know all that much about makeup? Can we really judge whether someone is being “fake?”

I know that generally guys like girls who have a more

natural look, but commenters on a Girl’s Life article from April 2007 suggest that while this is what guys say, they can’t actually tell the diff erence between someone’s face with “natural” makeup and without it. Intrigued, I decided to test this.

I picked 10 random photos and, after inspection, decided eight of them were all-natural. When I double-checked, how-ever, I realized I was correct on only four photos. Why? My thinking process was, if a girl

has only blush and eyeliner on, she isn’t technically wearing makeup. I essentially conclud-ed that wearing makeup didn’t count as wearing makeup.

e people condemning these girls for being fake don’t seem to understand that every-one has their form of armor to protect them from one thing or another. We live in a society where we judge people based on their looks and then say that beauty products used to make oneself prettier are worse than the snarky T-shirts

we wear to prove to our peers that we are funny.

What other forms of armor do people wear? Have you ever heard someone lament an acquaintance’s ignorance because they haven’t taken part in some form of popular culture? ere was a scene about this in the recently released movie “Pitch Perfect.” e boyfriend berates our protagonist for not having seen movies like “Star Wars” and “ e Breakfast Club.”

We are forced to take part in

pop culture whether we like it or not. Is it too much to ask for a few creature comforts? I just hope Melissa Joan Hart’s char-acter realizes that her scoffi ng at Keri Pratt’s character’s name is the same thing that made her change it in the fi rst place.

It really shouldn’t take the context of “Drive Me Crazy” to understand that someone changing their name to fi t in is wrong. It’s not an inability to cope, it’s a public overreaction. People shouldn’t judge or hate each other for being “fake.”

TSA right to start allowing pocketknives on fl ights

Starting April 25, the Transpor-tation Security Administration will begin allowing pocketknives with blades no longer than 6 centimeters in carry-on bags, provided that the blade is not fixed and is no more than half an inch wide. That’s good news for anyone who struggles to open those tiny in-flight peanut snack packs on the plane and could use the help of a small knife.

It makes quite a bit of sense to stop banning these small knives. Realistically speaking, knives of this size aren’t big enough to do much damage to people, and air-planes have been adapted since 9/11 to be resistant to attacks with much larger sharp objects than a short, unfixed blade. How-ever, not everyone agrees.

According to a March 12 CNN article by Marnie Hunter and Katia Hetter, many people, including New York Sen. Charles Schumer, Delta Air Lines CEO Richard Anderson and the Flight Attendants Union Coalition, oppose the change. They say they believe that any knife, regardless of size, poses a threat to passen-ger and airline staff safety.

However, the article also quotes former TSA chief Kip Hawley, who said that airplanes are no longer capable of being taken down by sharp objects and that the detailed and lengthy searches for them are interfering with TSA agents’ ability to search for objects that are actually capa-ble of threatening aircrafts.

This is, according to a March 5 ABC News article by Serena Marshall, one of the main reasons that TSA has opted for the change. The article quotes TSA Administrator John Pistole, who stated, “Frankly, I don’t want TSA agents to be delayed by these,” and added that during the last three months of 2012, TSA screeners at Los Angeles International Airport seized an average of 47 small pocketknives per day, making them a common everyday hassle for TSA workers.

The ABC News article also quotes TSA spokesman David Castelveter, who told Bloomberg News that small pocketknives “don’t present a risk to transpor-tation security.”

All things considered, allowing small pocketknives on flights makes it no more dangerous than traveling via bus, train or subway, since the knives cause

no threat to the safety of the flight itself. Besides this, according to a statement on TSA’s website, the change “aligns TSA with Interna-tional Civil Aviation Organization Standards and our European counterparts.”

The changes also mean that it is now possible to store wine openers in carry-on luggage — great news for anyone traveling

to wine country and wanting to either bring a wine opener to open a bottle while on the trip or to bring back a souvenir wine opener without having to ship it to their house. Sure, they’re sharp and some have a small blade on them, but they can do no more damage than, say, a pair of four-inch blade scissors, which were already allowed on flights prior to

the change in policy.With this and with the knowl-

edge that the new policy simply aligns U.S. standards with global standards, it doesn’t make sense to continue to ban small-bladed pocketknives. The change will, with any luck, cut down on time spent in screening lines and the number of wasted peanuts caused by passengers attempt-

ing to open those little packages without the aid of a pocketknife and peanuts violently spilling ev-erywhere. It’s a whole new world of opportunity for the American flying experience — free of some of its earlier frustrations.

the bottom of the cuff s, bear-ing the heels of his sneakers. “It’s everywhere I look.”

At the time of the “sight-ing,” Glissman was bent over, using a stencil to chalk a mes-sage into the sidewalk to raise awareness for his Kickstart-er campaign. His invention, called Cuff guards, is an iron-on adhesive strip of Kevlar that protects jeans from everyday wear and tear.

“I ruined so many of my favorite jeans, it’s not even funny,” Glissman said.

Glissman said he prefers longer, looser fi tting jeans but has diffi culty keeping them looking nice because they wear out at the back as he

steps on them, or as they drag on the ground. Eventually, this would gouge huge holes in the back and his jeans would no longer be suitable for dressing up. He experimented with dif-ferent materials and adhesives until he fi nally came up with

the product he now calls Cuff -guards.

Glissman said he believes many people have a problem with their jeans becoming

frayed and said many of his friends have been enthusiastic about Cuff guards.

Jennifer Nelson, May 2009 graduate in construction sci-ence, said she has been using Glissman’s Cuff guards since he fi rst created them, just over

a year ago. Nelson is currently working construction at the new hospital in Fort Riley, a job she said can be hard on clothes.

“Particularly in my indus-try, people go through a lot of jeans,” Nelson said.

Before using Cuff guards, Nelson said she would go through jeans in a matter of months, but now they last longer.

“I haven’t had to throw a pair away since I put them on,” she said. “It keeps them look-ing professional.”

Glissman said he is happy to be able to buy name-brand jeans instead of cheap ones, because he knows they will last longer. In addition to pre-venting damage, he said Cuff -guards can be used for any number of repairs on jeans, from patching holes to fi xing broken belt loops.

“It eliminates the need for sewing,” he said.

e Kevlar patch is thin and fl exible and about the same thickness as denim. Glissman said it doesn’t cause any trou-ble with chafi ng.

Glissman originally grad-uated with Nelson in 2009 with a degree in construction science, but he found that construction work was not for him. After he invented Cuff -guards just over a year ago, he decided to return to K-State and use the university’s new Venture Accelerator program to learn what he needed to get his new project launched.

He began working on his Kickstarter page four months ago but was delayed because he had to learn video produc-tion and make his own video. e page launched Sunday night at 10 p.m. His goal is to

raise $3,000 in 30 days to help pay for the raw materials used in making Cuff guards.

Cuff guards have already gotten the attention of As Seen On TV, who sent him a letter just before spring break. e company is interested in test-ing Glissman’s product out and, if all goes well, signing a contract with him.

“For the past year, I’ve just been spinning my wheels, trying to get something going,” Glissman said. “And now, over just the past two weeks, every-thing I wanted to happen has happened.”

as the southwest space be-tween the parking garage and the Union, to remain accessi-ble to students and staff during the renovation process. e construction team will work alongside university facilities to make sure the Union can remain open during through-out the entire process. Seidl said it is incredibly important for all businesses to be able to stay open during this process, especially the local businesses currently located within the Union.

Starting on the lowest level, where Subway and the bowl-ing alley are, the Union will see drastic changes. e bowling alley will stay exactly where it is, although the area will see

renovations.“Within the lower level cur-

rently, there is the bowling alley, Subway, billiards and darts, as well as an engraving center and Greekdom,” Seidl said. “ e way it will work is the bowling alley will stay where it is with improvements. Subway and Greekdom will move to upper levels. Instead of having billiards and darts in the lower level, essentially Union Station will move to where the pool tables and dart boards are cur-rently.”

Moving Union Station to the lower level is intended to create a more intimate setting. e Union Program Council and many multicul-tural groups often host perfor-mances in Union Station. e new placement will allow for

a larger audience and a more intimate setting for audience members. is will also open up more space for student organizations like the K-State Swing and Salsa Club to prac-tice.

“ e southwest entrance, where people currently go into to get to the bowling alley, will be revamped,” Gerber said. “It will be renovated so that entrance will lead straight into the bowling alley, as well as the small intimate perfor-mance space also located on that level.”

e ground fl oor, where the Offi ce of Student Activi-ties and Services currently is, will become a hub for student activities and organizations. OSAS will remain where it is and the Multicultural Student

Organization room will move to this level from the second fl oor. UPC will also move from the third fl oor to the fi rst fl oor, creating space on the third

fl oor for student organizations to meet.

“ e fi rst fl oor will be where all of the food and retail op-tions are, minus the Union Bookstore, which will remain

where it still is,” Seidl said. “ ere will also be some hang-out spaces, and the tables and chairs will be rearranged for it to make more sense for stu-

dents to use.” e second fl oor will be

home to all of the Union offi ces, as well as the Grand Ballrooms and meeting and outside con-ference spaces. e third fl oor

will be converted exclusively into meeting rooms for con-ferences and student orga-nizations. ese renovations should make the Union more accessible and logical. Similar needs, from retail and food to meeting spaces, will be housed together if the new renovation referendum passes.

“ is [project] is really to be able to host all of the resourc-es K-State has to off er,” Gerber said. “ e Union cannot hold the capacity of the amount of students we continue to see each semester, as well as the audiences for the performanc-es, shows or outside confer-ences that come into K-State. is will also allow more businesses to be able to come in and be pivotal to the atmo-sphere at K-State.”

Showing off his Cuffguard, Calvin Glissman, inventor of Cuffguards, says the strip of Kevlar prevents jeans from tearing at the cuffs. Glissman, a 2009 graduate in construction science and now a freshman in entrepeneurship, just started his monthlong campaign to raise money to buy the materials used to make Cuffguards. He returned to K-State to take advantage of the university’s Venture Accelerator program.

“Particularly in my industry, people go through a lot of jeans. I haven’t had to throw

a pair away since I put them on. It keeps them looking professional.”

Austin Colbert | The Sunfl ower (WSU)

Wichita State junior Cleanthony Early holds up the West Regional Championship trophy following the team’s win over Ohio State on Saturday in Los Angeles.


M.M. Chengappa Muthu Chengappa Polly Gantenbein

start coming March 20 against the Minnesota Golden Go-phers. In that game, he went four innings and gave up four runs.

K-State has been led by junior Ross Kivett, who cur-rently ranks third in the Big 12 with a batting average of .398. He has been especially suc-cessful as of late, increasing his

batting average 86 points since March 8.

First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., with the Wiildcats starting the fi rst of a six-game homestand. Following to-night’s game, K-State will host Omaha University on Wednes-day, also at 6:30 p.m. It appears likely that pitchers in that game will be senior Jake Doller for K-State and junior Steven Schoonover for Omaha.

AGAIN | K-State hosts Cornhuskers WednesdayContinued from page 1

Eight since 2010. In a year that saw Kansas and K-State share the Big 12 title with both fi nishing the regular season ranked in the top 12, it is arguable that the Shockers were overlooked when it came to basket-ball in the state of Kansas.

After defeating La Salle, the Shockers once again had their backs against the wall with their next opponent: a hot Ohio State team that was coming off back-to-back wins in which the Buckeyes scored in the dwindling seconds to rip the hearts out of their op-ponents, Iowa State and Arizona. Could they do it to the Wichita State Shockers too? Was there really even a hope that the Shockers could beat the No. 2 seed in their bracket after already conquering the No. 1 team and arriving at the Elite Eight?

Not a lot of people could have predicted what happened next. e lower-ranked Shockers came out fi ring on Saturday and with a little under 13 minutes left in the game, Wichita State led the Buckeyes by 20 points. Ohio State would cut the defi cit down to three with two min-utes left to play in what looked like the end to the Shockers’ March. But thanks to a layup from freshman guard Fred Van Vleet and a pair of free throws by redshirt freshman guard Ron Baker, the Shockers pulled it out, stamping their ticket to Atlanta for the Final Four.

At the beginning of the season, Wichita State head coach Gregg Marshall was faced with a brand-new team. Last season, the Shock-ers won 27 games but lost their top fi ve leading scorers. Marshall preached a mentality that he got all of his players to buy into: “Play angry.”

at is exactly what they’ve done this year. It isn’t the best show or the fl ashiest brand of basketball out there, but it gets the job done. Every year, there is a new mid-major team that surprises everyone in the tour-nament. is season, it has been the Wichita State Shockers. With the No. 1 overall ranked team in the tournament, Louisville, next on the list for the Shockers, Marshall’s team once again has the chance to make history.

Nothing can take away from what Wichita State has done this season. Entering the tournament, Kansas was a 1-seed, K-State was a 4-seed and Wichita State was a 9-seed, yet the Shockers are the only team from Kansas that remains in the tourna-ment. It could be a long time before that happens again, but for right now, you’ll hear no complaints from the black and gold.
