MANHATTAN — About 30 miles from Manhattan, on 1-70 in between Lawrence and Manhattan, there's a University of Kansas billboard. It used to read "Rock Chalk Jayhawk," but scrawled over it in white paint are four letters: "EMAW" short for "Every man a Wildcat," the new unofficial slogan of Kansas State athletes.
