The hill west of KS-177 towards Interstate 70 in Manhattan was vandalized following K-State's 82-65 loss to No. 2 Kansas in Lawrence on Wednesday.
The hill, which features the letters "K" and "S" constructed out of large white rock, was tampered with as the S was strategically covered with black and white tarps so the hill would read "KU."
KTKA in Topeka reported yesterday that Riley County police are investigating the situation. When contacted by the Collegian, the police declined to comment.
This is not the first case of vandalism induced by the Sunflower Showdown in 2010. Earlier this year, vandals painted "EMAW" in large purple letters on the Topeka Jayhawk Club billboard located near Paxico on westbound I-70.

This is NOT a serious problem. The only thing we could do to avoid this is beat KU.

This doesn't sound very bad to me. Could have been a lot worse. I'm sure they think it's less destructive than our EMAW on their billboard.

I Just get to know this from Bimingle dotcom just now. And it's really a serious problem. To avoid this kind of thing happen again, we need to take some messures. Hope it can be resolved soon.

Yeah, they didn't do anything horrible to it. Rivalries are like this.Our school once caught 25 of the Jayhawkers vandalizing our campus and shaved their heads....I'd like to get back to those days.

Are we really calling black and white tarps "vandalism" What has happened to good old fashioned fun and humor. Lighten up!
