Some say Kansas City is in Missouri. Others say it is in Kansas. The reality is that it's in both. But Dawson and Max argue that it's in neither. On The Daily Wave the hosts highlight the state of Missouri and argue that Kansas City has its own culture, just like Kansas has its own brand, and unlike what New York mayor Eric Adams thinks of Kansas "not having a brand." Dawson and Max defend why Kansas DOES have a brand.

For 40 years, the annual event has brought together the entire book community — librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular. The books featured during Banned Books Week have all been targeted for removal or restriction in libraries and schools. By focusing on efforts across the country to remove or restrict access to books, Banned Books Week draws national attention to the harms of censorship.
Maggie Steuer a student obtaining her master's degree in children's literature at Kansas State University and a Sigma Tau Delta fraternity member, discussed the history behind Banned Books Week on Wildcat 91.9, and what events are open to the public during the week around K-State. The sponsors of Banned Books Week at K-State are the department of English, K-State Libraries, Sigma Tau Delta and the Children's and Adolescent Literature Community student organization.

By Dawson Wagner
On Episode 14 of The Sands of Time we dive into the complex world of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence with William Hsu. A computer science professor at Kansas State University and machine learning researcher with interests in knowledge discovery databases, information extraction and knowledge-based systems. William obtained his masters in Engineering, Computer Science at The John Hopkins University, before completing his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois in Computer Science. Rightfully, we dove into all things computer science, by breaking down who the first computer programmers were, what were some of the first computer programing languages, how algorithmic bias is baked into things and why AI ethics is so important to the future of our online world.
William Hsu is a computer science professor at Kansas State University and machine learning researcher with interests in knowledge discovery databases, information extraction and knowledge-based systems. He spoke with Dawson Wagner on The Sands of Time to break down the past, present and future of computer science/artificial intelligence. In this clip he offers an explanation as to why AI is not sentient but as he said "Why and how does it fool us?" William breaks down how "humans have a tendency to anthropomorphize things, and project our interpretation of understanding of emotion and affect onto things such as a deep fake that looks like it's smiling or a voice operated assistant that sounds like it has tonal inflection and a tonal voice and other ways of fooling the human into thinking that there is some understanding or emotion behind it."

By Adolfo Blanco Jr The Sexuality and Gender Alliance organization has become known to many as a welcoming and safe place for those that identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning or are an ally to the community. It should be known that all students, faculty, and staff of K-State are welcome to attend along with community members; with meetings on Tuesday every week at 6 P.M. located in the Morris Family Multicultural Student Center, Room 204. This organization is the longest running LGBTQ+ organization at K-State and has been formerly known by other names throughout the years. The group hosts a wide array of events from education presentations, community building social activities, and lots of involvement with campus life. In the past few meetings, introducing themselves to the new group of the year, President Julia Coverdale (they/them) and Vice President RJ Salmen (he/they) vowed to continue to advocate for the recruitment, retention, and professional advancement of sexuality and gender identity for minority faculty and staff. Reporter Adolfo Blanco for Wildcat 91.9 News recently spoke with RJ Salmen, Vice President of SAGA. RJ concluded with hopes that in the coming meetings there will be more allies in the community, either in the closet or unaware of the organization’s presence. SAGA strives to maintain a cultural presence on the campus through developing community building. Julia Coverdale asks if anyone wishes to get involved, contact a member of the executive board on the site for additional information on attending meetings, other events, and to get added to the listserv for more updated and timely information.

Kolby Van Camp, the executive sports producer for Wildcat 91.9, unveiled his new operatic touchdown call at the first K-State football game of the season, which immediately gave a distinctive flair to his play-by-play skills. Van Camp achieved a Bachelor of Music Education and Bachelor of Applied Music, Composition double major at Kansas State in May, 2022. K-State fans had a roller coaster of a game against Missouri on Saturday, September 10th, before the football game even began rain started pouring down on tailgaters and fans who were waiting to get into the stadium. One K-State student who went by the name "Bucket Head" because of his metal bucket that he was sporting and had made into a gameday hat, said "the game is probably going to be delayed, I don't mind rain. It's lightning that I have a problem with because ya know I have metal on my head so... bit of an issue." But the K-State fan with the metal bucket on his head wasn't the only one worrying about lightning or a game delay. With a line stretching the entire length of the east parking lot, football fans had to find ways to past the time and for some that meant practicing their K-S-U chant. But for others by simply knowing that they had prepared themselves for the rain with the right equipment is what brought them ease. For some, that ease could not be found because of the threat of a lightning delay. Overall, the majority of fans appeared to not worry about that threat until it became imminent that there was noway past the storm that was moving in. Diane a long time K-State football fan said "I hope we get rain on our crops and no I don't think it will delay the game." Even some students chimed in, who thought that the rain was a good thing. "I love the rain, I don't know if it will be delayed or not. We haven't got any lightning yet so we'll see about that, I think it'll be alright." said Joey a student at K-State. Little did he know with a little over 8 minutes left in the second quarter the refs would meet on the field to call for a lightning delay to the game and ask fans to either return to their cars or move into Bramlage colosseum. Before all hope was lost though, after some fans had left and moved onto Aggieville already. The teams made their way back out onto the field and close to an hour after the delay started the Cats were back at it with a special teams surprise 75-yard touchdown return by Phillip Brooks to get that cats right back into it.
Regardless of rain, snow, thunder or lightning. The Wildcat fans continue to show resilience to support this football team & this Saturday that was on full display at Bill Snyder Family Stadium and Aggieville. |
