TO SERVE, TO LEAD, TO EXCEL Wendy Wintersteen to be installed as first female president of Iowa State

Controversy looms over Kavanaugh BY MATTHEW.TIBESAR @iowastatedaily.com

SARAH HENRY/ IOWA STATE DAILY A portrait hangs of President Wendy Wintersteen in the Portraits of Leaders Art Gallery at the Christian Petersen Art Museum in Morrill Hall.

BY EMILY.BERCH @iowastatedaily.com President Wendy Wintersteen has held her position at Iowa State University since Nov. 20, 2017, and after ten months of leadership, she will finally be installed as president. Wintersteen’s installation ceremony, which will mark the first time a female president has been installed at Iowa State, will be held at 10:15 a.m. on Friday at Stephens Auditorium.

In her speech “To Serve, To Lead, To Excel,” Wintersteen will address Iowa State’s accomplishments over the years, as well as her own visions for the university.The installation is an event to bring the Iowa State community together, Wintersteen said. It is an opportunity to celebrate achievements, to envision the future, and, in the wake of Celia Barquin Arozamena’s tragic death, Wintersteen hopes it can serve as a time to heal. “We will recognize Celia’s passing at the

installation,” Wintersteen said. “It’s important to be able to acknowledge our feelings, and as I’ve visited over the past days, you hear so many stories of how people knew Celia Barquin Arozamena, and it’s those stories that will keep her memory alive.” In her address, Wintersteen will specifically discuss her plans to build entrepreneurship through initiatives such as the Student

INSTALLATION

Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh is nearing his confirmation vote in the U.S. Senate, but members of the Iowa State community have mixed reactions on what his potential position on the high court could mean. Kavanaugh, a circuit judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, was nominated on July 9. Since then, some have called into question whether he would be a partisan justice. “I think that he has shown that BRETT KAVANAUGH he is strictly ideological and that he would behave in a way that he would attempt to degrade rights people have that are enshrined in the constitution and that have been determined by the precedent of the court.” said Ashton Ayers, policy director for the Iowa State Democrats. Dirk Deam, senior lecturer for the political science department, held concerns the Senate was using this partisanship as a reason to pick Kavanaugh rather than looking at judges based on their experience. “I’d like to see older judges, I’d like to see people who’ve been judges … decided cases that go both ways or either way, sometimes he sides with plaintiffs, sometimes he sides with defendants. There is no discernible ideological taint, but that is not this nominee.” Deam said the Senate should not consider a judge based on how they would vote on a particular case but instead by looking at their long standing

Celia Barquín Arozamena to receive degree BY WILLA.COLVILLE @iowastatedaily.com Over the past few days, it has been made clear that Celia Barquín Arozamena was an acclaimed student within Iowa State’s civil engineering department. She made an impactful impression on many of her professors and classmates. James Alleman, professor of civil, construction and environmental engineering, taught Barquín Arozamena in multiple classes within the department. Alleman described Barquín Arozamena as an extremely hardworking and dedicated student. “She had to make up a lot of quizzes with me. She was diligent. She was very willing to do the extra efforts to make sure she caught up with class,” Alleman said.

Students in the engineering department, including Andrew Watson, senior in civil engineering, shared their experiences with Barquín Arozamena at a vigil held Wednesday night. “On days I was overwhelmed with school, she was a calm and warm smile to turn to,” Watson said. Barquín Arozamena planned to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering this academic year. After her life was cut short, university officials decided to award her this degree posthumously. “If a deceased student was very close to earning a degree, in special cases the degree can be awarded posthumously,” according to the posthumous procedural documents.

Memorial Union celebrates 90 years BY KENDALL.SHARP @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s Memorial Union will celebrate its 90th birthday this Monday. Since its creation, memories have been made at the Memorial Union by hundreds of people every day. Kristin Erdman, Memorial Union marketing coordinator, said it is impossible to walk through the building without hearing four to five different languages. It’s easy to see many people enjoying the Memorial Union, from student organization meetings to students talking about politics and projects. “The Memorial Union continues to adapt to student needs,” Erdman said. Several years ago, the Memorial Union closed its hotel. After a surge of student enrollment, Geoffrey Hall was built. However, there was still not enough student housing available on campus, so the

Memorial Union opened up their hotel for students to live. This accommodation lasted for two years. “We’re just always trying to think of what the students’ needs are and the needs of everyone else on campus that are serving those students,” Erdman said. Since opening, the Memorial Union has added dining options, entertainment facilities, meeting halls and a browsing library. “No matter who you are or what you’re interested in, you’re going to find people who are your people,” Erdman said. The Memorial Union is a great asset to everyone in the community, Erdman said. Erdman even described the Memorial Union as the unofficial living room for everyone around campus. “We are really the heart of campus,” Erdman said. The Memorial Union is planning a large birthday celebration to happen this spring.

GILLIAN HOLTE/ IOWA STATE DAILY Throughout the Memorial Union students can be found studying or meeting up with friends. The Memorial Union celebrates its 90th birthday on Monday, Sept. 24.

Tearoom undergoes modern renovation BY LAUREL.GLYNN @iowastatedaily.com Technology from the 1920s and a congested workspace is less than ideal for hospitality and event management majors to learn how to operate in a modern restaurant. Now that MacKay Hall’s Joan Bice Underwood Tearoom has been updated, these are problems of the past. The tearoom is a major component to the Quantity Food Production and Service Management Experience lab, taught by Katherine Ginapp and John Kramer. “It’s all students running it,” said Lydia Anderson, sophomore student ambassador of the College of Human Sciences. “They can actually have experience working in their major before they go out in the real world.” Most of the renovations have been dedicated to modernizing the tearoom so the students are used to working in the conditions they would see beyond the university, Ginapp said.

The updates give students more space to operate within the restaurant itself and allow customers to enter and exit more smoothly in the front of house. They have also installed a new system called “Touch Bistro,” which allows customers to make payments at the table by using their credit or debit cards. New dishes have also been added to the menu, but the tearoom is planning to keep some old favorites to help keep attracting customers. Additionally, new televisions have been added in the dining room to increase the space’s functionality outside of class. Although there are more updates to be made, including online carry out orders, the College of Human Sciences is already seeing their vision for the tearoom come alive. “There were quite a few challenges,” Ginapp said. “It’s an entirely new concept than it was before.”

Innovation Center and continue building on Iowa State’s student-centered experience. She will also examine Iowa State’s past accomplishments as opportunities to continue the university’s growth. “I want to talk about the history of ISU and its accomplishments and how they’ve provided a foundation,” Wintersteen said. “Together, we’re going to move forward.” In the spring, Wintersteen asked Olivia Madison, who has chaired the previous three installation committees, to come out of retirement in order to chair her installation committee as well. Madison accepted, calling the request an honor. “She has made a wonderful start as president,” Madison said. “She’s really paying attention and getting out and meeting groups. She’s just being herself. She’s a very warm and open person, and I believe this installation will showcase that.” Madison said the ceremony may be larger than past installations because of the number of people who know Wintersteen from her work throughout the state. Rep. Steve King, Gov. Kim Reynolds and Mayor John Haila plan to attend, with Reynolds offering Wintersteen a greeting from the citizens of Iowa. Former Iowa State President Gregory Geoffroy, who promoted Wintersteen to the dean, will also be in attendance to introduce Wintersteen.

Remembering the fallen ROTC members to run 31 miles for soldiers who never returned home

BY SARAH.PETERSEN @iowastatedaily.com Veterans and active soldiers are thanked by community and friends for their service, but there are some soldiers who are not able to come home for that recognition. The annual POW/MIA Run put on by Iowa State’s Air Force ROTC strives to give recognition to prisoners of war (POW) and those missing in action (MIA). The event is observed on the third Friday of September. The run takes place Friday morning, starting at the steps of the Capitol in Des Moines and ending in the Gold Star Hall in the Memorial Union. The run is 31 miles long. “The run is long, but it’s definitely worth it,” said Layne Bender, sophomore in aerospace engineering and student in Air Force ROTC. “It brings awareness to a day that no one really knows about.” This year, four Naval ROTC students are joining thirteen Air Force ROTC students for the 31 miles. Sam Beland, senior in hospitality management and student in Air Force ROTC, ran the event last year and says the run gave him and other students a sense of purpose. “This is not an easy run, but it’s really cool to be involved in it with the other ROTC students,” Beland said. “We run many miles together, and that definitely allows us to get close with one another.” Not only is the run fairly challenging for the ROTC students in itself, but each year the U.S. flag and the POW flag are carried the entire 31 miles. “Holding the flags through the entire race can actually be a bit of a challenge,” Bender said. “There’s a lot of drag because of the wind, and your arms can get pretty tired from running and holding the flag up at the same time.” ROTC students switch holding the flags to help give each other a break throughout the run. Vans also lead and follow behind the students with water and food available to the students. Collin Harris, junior in aerospace engineering and an organizer of this year’s POW/MIA Run, said this is a special event that is very different than other events ROTC students are involved in throughout the academic year. “This event helps bring attention to the prisoners of war and missing in action soldiers who are often forgotten about because they are not here with us,” Harris said. “This is a special event that allows us to bond together and help the community remember those soldiers.”

‘It could have been anybody, it wasn’t a planned thing’ BY LOGAN.METEZGER @iowastatedaily.com A candlelight vigil was held for Celia Barquín Arozamena on the north side of the Campanile at 7 p.m. on Wednesday. Hundreds attended the vigil in honor of the golf star and peer. Students who attended the vigil reflected on their thoughts of the death, vigil and the safety concerns of Iowa State University campus: What’s going through your mind right now? Hannah Feilmeier, junior in apparel, merchandising, and design: “I think this is just a difficult time for everyone at Iowa State whether you knew her personally or not. It’s really touching to see how much she really cared about Iowa State, especially being so far away from home. I can’t imagine what her family is going through or how difficult that must be but just looking around and seeing all the students here on campus and all the churches and professors mentioning it is a

testament to how much of an Iowa Stater she was and how when something happens everyone can band together and support her and her family.” Samantha Schipper, junior in history: “It’s hard to put into words, it’s hard to rationalize a senseless act of violence against women. As a woman, it’s hard to rationalize that and put it into perspective, especially so close to home. It just reminds you of the type of life you need to live and shine as a person and do the best that you can and walk through life and leave the Earth better than you got here.” Hank Swalla, senior in kinesiology and health: “I think one of the biggest things is that it could have been anybody, it wasn’t a planned thing. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.” What’s a takeaway from this? Feilmeier: “I think this really puts life in perspective. I’ve been saying that all day yesterday and today.

‘We gotta keep working at it’

Cyclones hope to ‘zip’ by Akron in must-win BY AARON.MARNER @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State ran through Akron last year to the tune of a 41-14 road win, setting the foundation for a strong rest of the season. This time around, Akron (2-0, 0-0 MAC) is no easy task for the Cyclones (0-2, 0-1 Big 12). Akron’s defense has been a tough unit to score on, giving an unproven Cyclone offense a big test after two rocky weeks to start the year. “They’re very experienced,” said redshirt sophomore quarterback Zeb Noland, who will make his third career start Saturday. “If you look at their starting depth chart, they’re all juniors and seniors.” Just like Iowa State, Akron’s first game of the season against Nebraska was canceled. After that, Akron rolled over Morgan State in a 41-7 win. Last week, Akron won at Northwestern, a Big 10 team that finished 10-3 last season and had won nine of its last 10 games entering the Akron matchup. Not only that, but Akron was down 21-3 at halftime. The Zips scored three defensive touchdowns to rally back and win, 39-34. “We just gotta play fast and focus on us,” Noland said. “[We can’t] worry about what they’re doing.” I ow a S t a t e ’s p a s s i n g g a m e c o u l d b e t h e b i g ge s t difference-maker. Akron intercepted two passes against Northwestern, taking both back for touchdowns. Even though Northwestern had a huge advantage in first downs (29 to 15), Akron’s ability to make plays on defense kept the Zips in the game. Noland stood up to the task against Oklahoma last week, but the Cyclones couldn’t finish. That will be the challenge in week three. “Zeb is an incredible quarterback,” said redshirt senior receiver Matthew Eaton Jr. “I believe he’s shown that this year as well as last year ... He just puts the ball in the right place.” Redshirt junior wide receiver Hakeem Butler has been Noland’s main target. Last year, in a 23-13 win at Baylor in Noland’s first career start, the duo hooked up for a 67-yard touchdown before halftime. Against the Sooners last week, Noland found Butler five times for 174 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

CHRIS JORGENSEN/ IOWA STATE DAILY Iowa State junior Hakeem Butler breaks a tackle on his way to scoring during the second quarter against Oklahoma.

“[Noland] gave himself a good foundation to build off of,” said quarterbacks coach Joel Gordon. Akron has given up over 340 yards of off ense per game through the first two games of the season. Even though the defense has forced turnovers, it still has holes. Junior running back David Montgomery hasn’t quite broken out for a big game yet this year. Th rough two games, Montgomery has 126 yards on 38 carries for 3.3 yards per rush. “It’s a product of an offense that’s got a lot of parts,” Gordon said. “We want the run game to be that thing that keeps you in a rhythm and makes everything else easier.”

For Montgomery, one of the keys could be Noland and the passing game. If Iowa State stretch the fi eld deep with Eaton Jr. and Butler, the running game could face a lighter front seven from Akron as the Zips key against the passing attack. “We’ve got some guys who are playing together for the first time, with our center [freshman Colin Newell] and our quarterback [Noland],” Gordon said. “I thought they did a nice job and I thought they were close. There’s three or four runs in there that are an arm tackle away — instead of being seven yards, that can go 30 yards. “We gotta keep working at it ... everything on the offense is, at this point.”

Matthew Eaton Last week it was Hakeem Butler making waves in the secondary of an opposing team. Now, with Zeb Noland getting another start, it’s time for a third wide receiver to step up behind Butler and Deshaunte Jones. Eaton had four receptions for 32 yards against Oklahoma, including an impressive catch on a 4th-and-11 to give the Cyclones a crucial first down. Eaton came into the season as the Cyclones’ No. 2 option at the receiver position, but he hasn’t had a standout performance yet. Against a small Akron secondary — albeit one that helped the Zips score three defensive touchdowns against Northwestern — Eaton should find joy.

PLAYERS 2 WATCH

Alvin Davis Jr. Well, this is the obvious selection. Davis Jr. had two (two!) pick-sixes last weekend as the Zips beat a Big-10 team for the first time in 124 years. A junior cornerback, Davis had a week so good that he was named the Nagurski Player of the Week on Tuesday. He’ll have the tough task of defending Deshaunte Jones, Hakeem Butler and the aforementioned Matt Eaton this weekend. His ballhawking ability, combined with Zeb Noland’s proclivity to take risky shots, will give him possible opportunities to add to his collection of takeaways. If Akron wants to pull the upset, winning the turnover battle is crucial.

GOOD COP BAD COP

THE PICK Iowa State vs. Akron AARON MARNER

BY JACK.SHOVER @iowastatedaily.com

BY SPENCER.SUCKOW @iowastatedaily.com

Despite coming off a road win versus Northwestern, don’t expect Akron to give Iowa State any trouble. Yes, Kato Nelson is a quality quarterback, but he is no Kyler Murray, and Akron’s offense shouldn’t be treated as such. Against Northwestern, Akron was only able to muster up 367 total yards and 39 points despite Northwestern committing three turnovers, two of which were pick sixes. On third-down conversions, Akron went 4-16 on the night. In addition, Northwestern, who is no offensive juggernaut, dropped 34 points and 491 yards on the Zips. To add on, the Zips committed 15 penalties that totaled 140 yards. On Saturday, Iowa State will dominate on defense, especially against the run. Iowa State’s defensive line, with the help of physical linebackers like Mike Rose and Marcel Spears, will suffocate any run game Akron tries to get going. Through the air, Iowa State’s defensive backs will not be facing the same caliber of receivers that they faced against Oklahoma, which should mean less explosive plays down the field for Akron. Iowa State’s passing attack will be unstoppable with Hakeem Butler as the anchor. Against Oklahoma, Butler totalled five receptions for 174 yards and two touchdowns as Zeb Noland played a relatively mistake-free game until Iowa State’s final drive. With Butler as his security blanket, I expect Noland’s confidence to increase, which will allow Iowa State to get more creative with their play calling and utilize Noland’s arm down the field. In the run game, Iowa State has struggled to get David Montgomery going, but there were flashes of his big play potential last Saturday. Despite the hype, Akron is in no way the team that they are billed to be, which should lead to a strong Iowa State win.

When I first looked at Iowa State’s 2018 schedule, I thought that the game against Akron would be one of the only sure wins for the Cyclones. All the way up until last Saturday, I still believed that. Then, Akron went into Evanston, Illinois, and beat Northwestern, a Big Ten team who went 10-3 last season, on the road. Not only did the Zips beat the Wildcats, but they hung 39 points on them. Now, I’m not so sure. The Zips are no joke. This isn’t the same team that lost 41-14 at home to Iowa State last season. Instead, this is a team that can take advantage of mistakes, as evidenced by their 21 points off turnovers last week. Zeb Noland, being a quarterback with a strong arm who likes to take chances, will be at risk for turnovers if he gets too aggressive. If there is a bright spot for the Cyclones, it’s that the offense came alive last week and hung tough with a top-five team in the country. The running game is still struggling as teams key in on David Montgomery and the offensive line struggles to get a push up front, but Noland clearly adds a big play element to the passing game that was previously lacking. The defense will have to perform better, but last week’s performance feels more like an outlier, given that Oklahoma’s offense may be the best in the country. Even with that fact, though, it’s important to remember that Akron actually hung tough with Iowa State last season for at least a half of football. This game will not be a cake walk for the Cyclones, and if they aren’t careful, the team could easily fall to 0-3. I don’t have the courage to predict that outcome, however, and I ultimately believe that the Cyclones will get their first win of the season in what’s sure to be an emotional day at Jack Trice Stadium.

Iowa State 44, Akron 20

After two losses in frustrating fashion, I don’t see Iowa State falling a third time in a row. Never mind that Akron is 2-0, coming off a huge comeback win over Northwestern in which the Zips were behind by 18 at halftime. Iowa State has a significant talent advantage over Akron and I think the skill positions will show that the most. Iowa State’s offense, specifically through the air, should have a big game. Akron’s defense gives up over 230 yards of passing per game, and with Hakeem Butler stretching the field, the short routes over the middle could be open all day for Deshaunte Jones, Tarique Milton and others. Iowa State’s defense should be able to hold off Akron, and I think the Cyclones’ defense can force some turnovers when Akron falls behind early. Give me Iowa State in a comfortable win against the Zips.

Iowa State 38, Akron 21

Iowa State needs a win. Bad. After starting 0-2 — albeit to two quality opponents — the Cyclones will be searching for the six wins that will get them to bowl eligibility. Prior to the season, the Akron game was talked about as an easy victory. Last week, though, the Zips came back from a 21-3 deficit to defeat Northwestern, aided by three defensive touchdowns. Iowa State has to take care of the ball. Akron keeps it close, but the Zeb Noland and Hakeem Butler combo comes up big and the Cyclones pull away. Plus, David Montgomery still exists, and I hear he’s pretty good, too. Iowa State improves to 1-2 and takes a first step toward bowl eligibility, with just a dash of intrigue (quarterback controversy, anyone?).

Iowa State 34, Akron 14

The upset burned me last week, so I won’t be baited into that for a second-straight week. Akron won’t have a player who can hold a candle to Kyler Murray, but it does have Kato Nelson. Nelson has totaled 509 passing yards and five touchdowns to one interception in the Zips’ 2-0 start. He’s also somewhat of a threat on the ground. I predict Iowa State’s defense will limit Nelson, though. For starters, it won’t be close to a 100 degree heat index this week, and anyway you look at it, Akron isn’t Oklahoma. On offense, Iowa State hit on all cylinders last week, and I see no reason it won’t this week. I don’t think Iowa State should take Akron lightly, but on paper, Iowa State should be rotating in backups and freshmen in the fourth quarter.

Iowa State 34, Akron 17

It’s week four and going into the season, myself and other Cyclones fans definitely did not see the Cyclones heading into this weekend’s matchup at 0-2. Once upon a time, the Akron game was discussed as an easy victory following Iowa State’s huge matchup against Oklahoma, but after what happened in Evanston during the Akron — Northwestern matchup last weekend, the Cyclones cannot let their guard down. I will repeat: The Cyclones cannot let their guard down. Yes, I anticipate David Montgomery to have a big performance, hopefully another Hakeem Butler touchdown in the Cyclones’ end zone will go viral again and most definitely Zeb Noland’s arm will open up offense for another spectacular performance. Noland, Montgomery and Butler will make things happen, but who else will step up to plate? Defense, I’m expecting more from you in this game.

A TALE OF TWO QBS

Zeb Noland and Kyle Kempt’s developing bond BY TREVOR.HOLBROOK @iowastatedaily.com With more free time this summer, Iowa State redshirt sophomore quarterback Zeb Noland spent time on one of his favorite leisure activities: fishing. Noland — a rural guy with roots planted in Watkinsville, Georgia — hooked a lot of “nice fish” this summer. Meanwhile, the quarterback Iowa State originally plugged into the starting lineup — redshirt senior Kyle Kempt — enjoys different aspects of the outdoors. “Kyle likes to go to the park and just walk around,” Noland said. “This summer one time, he came in [and] he got into some mosquitos, and I gave him the hardest time for at least a week.” The differences continue beyond the preferences in nature. Noland brings a big arm to the table and a willingness to chuck up deep passes to his weapons on the outside. On the flip side, Kempt provides the Iowa State offense with a safer option and pristine accuracy, while utilizing a quicker passing strategy. Kempt tallied a 114.5 passer rating on passes thrown within 2.5 seconds of the snap, placing him No. 1 among returning Big 12 quarterbacks, according to Pro Football Focus. Passer rating collects pass attempts, competitions, yards, touchdowns and interceptions, churning out a rating on a scale from 0 to 158.3 (the average NFL passer rating hovers slightly under 90). The redshirt senior averages one interception every three starts, while Noland collected his second interception in his second career start against Oklahoma on Saturday. “That’s one of the most important things I focus on,” Kempt said. “I think that’s one of the most important traits for a quarterback.” Kempt showcased his accuracy in Iowa State’s 8-5 season last year. Kempt compiled a 66.3 percent completion percentage last year. He excelled in standard passing plays with no play-action, logging a 115.9 passer rating according to Pro Football Focus, ranking Kempt first among returning Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) quarterbacks. The redshirt senior looked to increase his pace, completing 15 of 21 passes in his lone 2018 game for a percentage of 71.4. Battling injury, the veteran focuses on a different role in the

early parts of the 2018 season: leadership. “Everything,” said quarterbacks coach Joel Gordon before the season on what Kempt provides for Noland and the other young quarterbacks. “He’s done everything. The good, he’s been at the highs of being a college quarterback even in the little bit of experience he’s had. He’s seen the side of it where he didn’t get [repetitions] for two years. “Not just the Xs and Os, it’s probably way more than that … You’ve got to learn, and you’re going to have really hard days, and you’re going to have some good days. That’s really hard to balance and understand when you’re a young quarterback or any student-athlete. His experience in that room has been awesome.” Sidelined indefinitely with an MCL injury suffered against Iowa, Kempt adopted a role as a mentor for the week leading up to Iowa State’s game against the Sooners. Noland quietly turned in a stellar performance in his second start, tossing the ball for 360 yards with two touchdowns and a late interception. After Cyclone offensive possessions, Noland and Kempt convened, running through the previous plays. “Kyle is great on the sidelines,” Noland said. “We went through it last year, and he told me what he thought he saw. We had nice, simple conversations, stayed even keel. There was nothing to really get worked up about during the game, and that’s what we talked about. “He played like that. I’m going to play like that just because that’s who he’s created me to be.” The mentorship stems further back than this season. Kempt added weight in the offseason, adding more confidence to his mindset and zip on his passes. Meanwhile, Noland added his first spring practices under his belt after suffering an injury the previous spring. On top of the practices, Noland also absorbed knowledge from Kempt. “I think one of the best things about Zeb is — and this was [why it was] so critical to getting Kyle Kempt back — Zeb has grown as much as anybody in the last six months our program, and a lot of it’s because of leadership from Kyle. Kyle’s taken him under his wing,” said coach Matt Campbell after Iowa State’s loss to Iowa. “Those two have really, really grown together.” During Noland’s redshirt freshman season last year, he relieved Kempt during Iowa State’s loss to Oklahoma State due to an

injury suffered by Kempt. The following week, the Cyclones headed to Waco, Texas with Noland pegged as the starting quarterback with Kempt once again providing insight from off the field. “He’s made a bunch of progress,” Kempt said before the season about Noland. “It was good for him to get those [repetitions] last year. He got a full game in. He stepped in for me in the Oklahoma State game, but he’s continuing to progress. He’s learning every day.” After Kempt officially received a sixth year of eligibility in February, all signs pointed to him earning the starting duties to start the 2018 season. Spring provided a chance for the two to compete on the field, but the summer and fall camp marked an opportunity for Noland and Kempt to push each other while improving one another and cultivating a closer relationship. Film study provided a perfect platform. “Oh, it’s fun,” Noland said before the season about watching film with Kempt. “He puts on a little music, and we have food. We plan to be there awhile, so it isn’t like we’re in and out. We sit there, we laugh, we cut up if we see something on our phones or see something on the screen that we think [is] funny.” The quarterback duo alternates between who’s responsible for the snacks during film, revealing another quirky difference between the two. “He [doesn’t] drink energy drinks, and I do,” Noland said with a chuckle. “Kyle’s pretty plain Jane when it comes to stuff like that.” Looking forward into this season, Noland controls the reins of the Cyclone offense in the meantime with Kempt watching from the sidelines. As Kempt heals, the only certainty right now is Kempt’s status for the Akron game. Noland gets another guaranteed crack at starting for Iowa State. While Noland makes his impact on the field against Akron, his contributions were influenced by Kempt. Even with different playing styles, hobbies and opinions on energy drinks, Kempt helps Noland and vice versa. Campbell reiterated this on Cyclones.TV’s radio program, Cyclone Coaches Corner. “Zeb doesn’t happen if Kyle Kempt isn’t the leader in that room,” Campbell said.

Work left to be done in Iowa

‘The answer is not telling women to do something more’

Star golfer Celia Barquin Arozamena was found dead Monday morning.

BY EILEEN.TYRRELL @iowastatedaily.com With the horrific death of yet another young woman in Iowa, the country is left scrambling for answers. We know why Mollie Tibbetts, Celia Barquin Arozamena and so many other young women were killed: they were in the way of a man who viewed them as inferior, or who simply had the “urge to rape and kill a woman.” So the question we are left trying to answer is this: How do we prevent more deaths? The answer is not in telling women to do something more, something differently or something better. Although it’s important that women take actions to be smart and protect themselves, we COLLIN cannot put the impetus for this change on the victims. RICHARDS But defiant posts on the internet declaring men simply need to “stop killing women” aren’t going to do it either. It seems to me the type of man who would read something like that and think “yeah, this applies to me” isn’t going to hold back on his violent, misogynistic impulses because a stranger on the internet told him to. No, the cultural shift we need is going to happen with our generation and mostly in the way we raise our kids. The fact is most men, like most women, are good people. But they’re people who have been raised in a culture that tells them, in little misogynistic ways, that women are worth less than them; that women can be categorized by their body parts, that women are worth less salary, that women owe them sex, that a woman who isn’t afraid to be in charge is automatically a b***h. This phenomenon is called implicit bias, and it’s something that we all have.

IOWA STATE DAILY

Implicit biases are based on societal cues that cause us to unconsciously stereotype a group of people. When you watch action movies and the only purpose of the women is to serve as love interests, or look at the leaders of our country and see only men, or grow up idolizing musicians who only seem to care about women if they provide sex, it’s not hard to take these cues and ingrain them into your subconscious. But, as I said, most men are good people — people who can recognize these biases and do their best to eliminate them. The real problem develops when someone who already has violent tendencies grows up in this kind of culture. If you’re prone to violence or sadistic tendencies and society tells you to hate women, it’s an easy jump to take those violent tendencies out on women. So we’re back at square one: how do we prevent men like Collin Richards, who had been arrested multiple times and likely will never be persuaded to change his misogynistic view of the world, from attacking and killing women? The long story short of it is that we can’t. But we can do our best to prevent this generation and the next from growing up with the same view of women that caused Richards and Cristhian Rivera and so many others to take their victims. Doing so is going to take a cultural shift (one that, thankfully, has already started). It’s going to take seeing more women in places of power, women represented in pop culture, not as sex objects but as fully developed people, believing women when they come forward with stories of sexual assault and valuing their safety and comfort and contributions to society just as much as we value mens’. We as a culture are making progress on the path to gender equality, but the past month in Iowa has been a terrible reminder to us all that we still have a long way to go, and our work will not be finished until women no longer have to fear a horrible death while doing something as innocuous as playing golf.

EDITORIAL

Campus should adopt pedestrian-friendly bike policy Busses, long boarding, biking, scootering, rollerblading. If there’s a way to get from point A to point B, you can be sure there will be at least one student on campus using it to get to class. Though Iowa State credits itself as a pedestrian-friendly campus, only so many people can use a sidewalk at once. This can pose dangers to those who choose to walk around campus, especially when bikes are involved. In October of last year, the city of Ames unveiled new biking lanes and bike boxes on Clark Avenue. These new road features hoped to improve biker safety and traffic flow. When classes resumed this fall, new bike lanes were found on Union Drive by Lake Laverne. Bike lanes can also be found in select spots around campus, specifically on the south end of Union Drive, Morrill Road and Osborn Drive. Yet, often times the biggest problem with bikes is on sidewalks within campus, away from roads. Around the country, the average sidewalk is 48-inches wide. This is plenty of room for people to walk in opposite directions. However, the average bike width is 30-inches wide at the handlebars. Then, add the fact that bikes are often moving much faster than people walking. It’s a problem waiting to happen.

As of now, there are no policies regulating the operation of bikes on campus. Per the Iowa State Parking Division, the only regulations that affect bikes relate to parking and reporting stolen bikes. Though there are busses, students making cross-campus treks may find bikes necessary. So where’s the happy medium? Having an official policy would be a good start. The University of Iowa uses the official DOT biking rules, but also has a policy of their own. One part states: “When passing pedestrians in either direction, cyclists must maintain a minimum of 6 feet (about one bicycle length) of separation without leaving the walkway. “If unable to maintain the minimum separation when passing, the cyclist must operate at a speed just above the average walking pace (about one bicycle length per second) while passing.” Failure to abide by this policy may result in a $25 fine. Now, is this small fine enough to deter all “crazy” bikers? No. But Iowa State currently has nothing. Anything would be a step in the right direction, especially for those who are too tired of dealing with bikes zipping around them at unsafe distances and speeds.

HOCKEY

Cyclones skate into Waldorf Exhibition games will help coaches select the team BY CARLYN.WARD @iowastatedaily.com Cyclone Hockey will take on Waldorf on Friday, Sept. 21 at 7:30 p.m. at Ames/ISU Ice Arena, marking the beginning of their home-and-home. On Saturday, the team will then make the journey to the Albert Lea City Arena in Albert Lea, Minnesota, to conclude the home-and-home against Waldorf at 7 p.m. While this weekend doesn’t officially mark the beginning of the season, it does play a big role for players and coaches. “It’s not about wins or losses this weekend. It’s about selecting the team and getting ready,” said head coach and general manager Jason Fairman. “It’s more about trying to see guys in game situations and getting prepared for next weekend when ACHA play starts.” Cyclone Hockey competes in the ACHA, or American Collegiate Hockey Association, while Waldorf competes in the NAIHA, or the North American Intercollegiate Hockey Association. As such, this weekend’s games function merely as a way to get prepared, rather than as divisional matchups with real value to the regular season. Last year, Cyclone Hockey beat Waldorf in both meetings, with a 6-1 win as well as a 3-0 shutout win. While the games don’t mean anything in regards to points, they will serve as game experience to work some things out. “It was great to get two wins last year ... hopefully we’ll be able to get the same outcome this weekend as well,” said senior forward Aaron Azevedo. “But we’re really just focusing on getting all the kinks out, getting some chemistry down, getting our step back. “That way we can take it into our regular season games coming up in October.” Monday marked the first day of practice for the team,

and getting those kinks out and setting the pace has been something they’ve been working on. They are continuing to make decisions regarding the final roster, which may not even be set after this weekend’s games against Waldorf, as Fairman pointed out last week after the annual Cardinal and Gold scrimmage. “After the first couple days [of practice], everyone’s just trying to get comfortable again. Feeling their hands, getting their feet moving,” said Azevedo. “But once we started getting our passing down, the pace has been able to pick up these last two days.

“Hopefully we’ll carry that into tomorrow, and then this weekend.” The pace has been fast, and Fairman said the team has had a good jump this week in practice. It’s clear everyone is ready to start working on things and get the season started. “There seems to be a lot of excitement at practice. It’s to be expected but it’s good to see,” Fairman said. Cyclone Hockey will play two games against Illinois State and two against Alabama before opening CSCHL play at Lindenwood on Oct. 12.

SOCCER

Iowa State clashes with Texas duo to open Big 12 BY ZANE.DOUGLAS @iowastatedaily.com Conference play is starting for Iowa State soccer, and there is nothing the team wants more than a clean slate. The Cyclones travel to Texas this weekend to take on Texas Christian University at 6 p.m. on Friday, and Texas Tech at 12 p.m. on Sunday. “There’s no easy Big 12 game,” said coach Tony Minatta when asked about the opponents this weekend. Texas Christian is sporting a record of 7-1-1 going into the showdown with the Cyclones. They are also coming off a game against Butler that they won 6-1, thanks to senior midfielder Kayla Hill who scored three goals. Texas Tech has been arguably better than their Fort Worth counterpart. The Red Raiders have an 8-1 record, and they have had quite a few convincing wins so far in non-conference play. Iowa State is 2-7-1, and they will be the underdogs in these two games. Redshirt sophomore defender Marin Daniel had some thoughts on the upcoming opponents. “They’re [going to] be strong, they’re [going to] be physical,” Daniel said. “It’s kind of fun to be the underdogs.” Daniel and Cyclones will be getting redshirt junior midfielder Kasey Opfer back after she

missed a week, but junior midfielder Hannah Cade went down with a foot injury that could sideline her for the season.This is a big blow for the Cyclones, who have been playing shorthanded all year with the early loss of captain Riley Behan. Now they’ve lost one of their best players at least until the Big 12 tournament. The silver lining here is that Minatta gets to see which young Cyclones can step up since one of their stars is out for so long. “There is no replacing a player like her,” Minatta said about Cade. Minatta also spoke on the reports his team is switching to a new formation. According to Minatta, they are looking to make their formation more basic and defensive minded. He’ll have more defining roles for players, and he cites the younger players as a reason to switch the complexity. With so many young players coming up to fill the injury voids and help out where they can, it could be a smart strategy to help them transition smoothly before expecting them to do more than they are capable of this early in their career. To some, this could be looked at as a step backwards, but this is not just to ease in underclassmen. Sometimes a complex system can get confusing, especially in a soccer match where there is constant play and no stoppages. Less confusion could really help the team, especially

as they shift into conference play against stronger opponents. “There’s a giant senior class right now that’s just willing to lead us,” said senior midfielder and captain Emily Steil, who has stepped up and become one of the team’s leaders. The Cyclones have a lot of upperclassmen — whether they are on the sidelines with

injury or on the field — and they know how to deal with all the stress that comes with conference play, along with all the challenges of a new formation. This team will need to be led by these players as they face an uphill battle the rest of the way. It just might turn Iowa State’s season around.

New year, new theatre director BY AVERI.BAUDLER @iowastatedaily.com For many Iowa State students and professors, heading back to school in the fall brings with it the familiarity of old routines from previous semesters with the excitement of what is new to come. This is especially the case for the Iowa State Theatre Department and its students, as this year they have a familiar face taking on a new position. Brad Dell has been at Iowa State since 2005 and, in that time, has directed nearly 30 plays, musicals and operas for the theatre program. This year, however, marks his first year as the Director of Theatre at ISU, a position that was previously held by Jane Cox. Although Cox worked in the position for many years, Dell says that since he has taken over for her, he has received nothing but support from colleagues and students alike. “I am blessed with wonderful colleagues and incredible support from Don Simonson, chair of music and theatre, and the entirety of ISU’s upper administration,” Dell said. “Our faculty is truly a group of extraordinary innovators and our students are eager and passionate.” Dell believes that although this position holds more responsibility and requirements than he has had in years before, he is looking forward to continuing to make Iowa State theatre more connected to the rest of the campus through the ISU Theatre CoLab NATE CAMM/ IOWA STATE DAILY Initiative.

The comedians are joined by the bluegrass band Steep Canyon Rangers, featuring Steve Martin on the banjo. Recently Martin and Short starred in a Netflix special, “An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life,” in which they dress up, sing, play banjo and throw jabs at eachother. The special received critical acclaim for Martin and Short’s casual, fun-and-games style set. The two met early in their acting careers on the set of the classic movie, “¡Three Amigos!” “I was struck by how pale [Steve Martin] was in person,” recalled Short on “The Tonight Show.” “It was like I was being haunted suddenly.” Martin and Short have been good friends ever since, performing on “Saturday Night Live” and acting in “Father of the Bride” together. Like most good friends, they love to rip into each other. “We’re very close friends, very, very close, we’re closer than Putin and Trump,” Short joked. “We’re like Ellen Degeneres and a vest. You know what I mean? We’re close.” These best friends will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday in Stephens Auditorium. Tickets are available at Stephens Auditorium’s box office, online at Ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000.

PG1

qualifications and overall experience. Others like Jacob Minock, president of the Iowa State College Republicans, have said Kavanaugh’s record demonstrates he is qualified and disproves any claims of partisan bias. “I believe Kavanaugh is a tremendously qualified individual with a record to back it up,” Minock said. “His time on the U.S. Court of Appeals where he was nominated by [former-President George W. Bush] and confirmed with bipartisan support has been stellar.” Minock cited the American Bar Association (ABA) and the Federalist Society who have given Kavanaugh high rated reviews. The ABA which Minock said has been accused of having a liberal bias, gave Kavanaugh their highest possible rating. “I personally do not believe he is a partisan judge, and I do not like partisan judges,” Minock said. “I want a fair judge who holds true to the constitution as that is the ultimate law of the land.” Kavanaugh’s conservative predispositions have also caused some to worry he could overturn long standing Supreme Court precedents and rulings. For example, Ayers said Kavanaugh could and would vote against issues like the 1973 decision Roe v. Wade in which governments were prohibited from restricting abortion. Deam said while Kavanaugh could be part of a Supreme Court team which overturns Roe v. Wade, it would be unlikely as Roe v. Wade was decided using the right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. It would mean having repealing other rights to privacy in order to overturn. Kavanaugh also faces a personal controversy because of sexual assault allegations which were released by Sen. Dianne Feinstein. The allegations from Christine Blasey Ford, a California professor, said Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her while the two of them were in high school. Kavanaugh has

denied the accusations. The allegations, which Minock and others have said should be investigated, could bring Kavanaugh’s confirmation into question and potentially prevent him from being confirmed. “The case must be examined for contemporaneous corroboration and any contradictions should be examined,” Minock said. “By all means if the allegations are true I certainly do not want Kavanaugh confirmed.” Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, announced Monday the committee would hold a hearing about the allegations, but expressed his disappointment in how the information was handled. “As I said earlier, anyone who comes forward as Dr. Ford has done deserves to be heard,” Grassley said in a statement. “My staff has reached out to Dr. Ford to hear her account, and they held a follow-up call with Judge Kavanaugh this afternoon. Unfortunately, committee Democrats have refused to join us in this effort. However, to provide ample transparency, we will hold a public hearing Monday to give these recent allegations a full airing.” Grassley was concerned that Feinstein’s office held on to the allegation for six weeks and now has refused to set up follow up calls between Kavanaugh and Ford. “Unfortunately, committee Republicans have only known this person’s identity from news reports for less than 24 hours and known about her allegations for less than a week,” Grassley said in the statement. “Senator Feinstein, on the other hand, has had this information for many weeks and deprived her colleagues of the information necessary to do our jobs.” A statement released by Ford’s lawyers on Tuesday said Ford will not testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday as they want an FBI investigation into her allegations before she speaks to the committee.

Not that Ames is a dangerous community, but I just think this is an eye opening experience that there are more dangers out there than we realize.” Schipper: “Within the last three days since Monday, since she’s died, I think we’ve always had it in the back of our mind, especially violence against women, is a serious serious issue but especially now it ’s so close to home and we have to consistently and unfortunately always lookout for yourself because unfortunately too many people are not doing the right thing.
