‘WE’RE HERE TO LISTEN’ Lesbian, gay, bisexual communities 5 times more likely to attempt suicide BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people aged 10 to 24, but LGBTQIA+ youth are at an even higher risk, according to The Trevor Project. Research surrounding the larger LGBTQIA+ community is limited. Throughout the story, statistics used represent the LGB –– lesbian, gay and bisexual –– community, though other communities are also greatly impacted by these issues. The Trevor Project states LGB students contemplate suicide rates at almost three times the rate of heterosexual youth and are almost five times as likely to have attempted suicide. “I often think of [suicide] from the lens of a continuum, where A is ideation, B is contemplation, C is attempt and D is completion,” said Mark Rowe-Barth, director of Student Wellness. “Suicidality is individualized, its different for everyone. Sometimes it takes only a short time maybe straight from contemplation to completion.” Each instance of physical or verbal harassment or abuse increases the likelihood of self-harming by 2.5 times, according to The Trevor Project. Verbal abuse affects all age groups, not just young adults, and is even prevalent with children, as witnessed in
the Jamel Myles case. Jamel Myles was a 9-year-old boy from Colorado. Myles came out as gay to his mother while curled up in the backseat of the family car and she accepted him instantly, which, for many, is the dream coming-out story. Myles began wearing fake fingernails on Monday Aug. 20, the first day at school. “Pierce’s oldest daughter told her that other children had told Jamel to kill himself after he came out as gay,” according to reporting from the Denver Post. “She never heard about the taunting until after his death.” Leia Pierce, Jamel’s mother, found Jamel’s body on Thursday Aug. 23 and tried unsuccessfully to revive her son. Myles was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Bullying does kill, according to the Bullying Statistics website. “Bully victims are between 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims,” according to the website. “A study in Britain found that at least half of suicides among young people are related to bullying.” A student at Iowa State came forward to talk about their experience with anxiety and depression and the help they found at Iowa State. They asked the Daily to not include their name since they have not come out about their sexuality.

City council to address homelessness, safety BY DEVYN.LEESON @iowastatedaily.com City Council will discuss and promote public safety at Tuesday’s meeting following the death of Celia Barquín Arozamena at an Ames golf course. Coldwater Golf Links, the site of Barquín Arozamena’s death, is situated next to the woods where Collin Daniel Richards, the man charged with first-degree murder, had been camping and living at the time. The city of Ames, city council and its mayor have been asked what policies could be enacted to prevent something like this from happening again. “In the aftermath of the tragic event that occurred this week, a number of questions have been raised about our current efforts to promote safety in our parks, natural areas and trails,” according to city council documents. “In addition, some have asked what changes are we prepared to make immediately to further promote safety in these areas as well as into the future.”
The documents from city council say they don’t currently have a written plan but, city council and its staff are ready to discuss and form ideas at the meeting. These comments are similar to a ones from a press release from the city of Ames which discussed collaborative efforts currently being made between the city and its community. “I encourage every resident to take an active role in improving safety by alerting officials to concerns and sharing information when something seems amiss,” said Mayor John Haila in the press release. One of the main questions received by the city of Ames has been in relation to homelessness according to the press release. More specifically, if action would be taken to ensure people don’t camp or live on public and private lands. The press release addressed this saying alleged camping areas are labeled “no camping” with signs and then visited by the city to ensure people are complying if evidence of camping is reported by the community or discovered by city staff. The city said it is looking for a more

KENNEDY DERAEDT/ ISD The ReACT Gallery, located in the Christian Petersen Art Museum, held a pop-up event to discuss violence against women.
ReACT gallery addresses violence against women JORDYN DUBOIS/ IOWA STATE DAILY Members of the Iowa State Air Force ROTC finish their run for POW/MIA Day. Members ran from Des Moines to Ames starting at 9 a.m. on Friday.
ROTC runs 30 miles for POW/MIA day BY JORDYN.DUBOIS @iowastatedaily.com Members of Iowa State’s Air Force ROTC program participated in the annual POW/MIA run on Friday afternoon, running in shifts a total of 31 miles. The POW/MIA run is an event to bring awareness to present and past prisoners of war (POW) and members of the military who are missing in action (MIA). “It’s such a huge deal because we’re honoring them. You don’t want them to be forgotten,” said Alexander Stephens, an Air Force ROTC cadet captain. The ROTC members left from the State Capitol in Des Moines at 9 a.m. and they ran in in two shifts, switching off in the afternoon around the half-way mark. The second shift continued until the run finished at the Gold Star Hall in the Memorial Union around 3 p.m. For 31 miles, the ROTC members carried
the American flag alongside the POW/MIA flag. “It’s a lot easier to motivate yourself when you realize what you’re doing it for,” said Savannah Hartman, Air Force ROTC Force supports squadron commander. Police officers led the ROTC members on the run and had water and snacks available for the students. Another police car followed the runners behind the group. Hartman said because she knows there will be hard times ahead in the Air Force, she is proud of those who showed up to run in the event. Connor Mccann, a fifth-year member of the Air Force ROTC program, ended the afternoon by saying that “At the end of the day I’ll go home and take a shower and eat food and my legs will be sore, but come Monday I’ll be fine. But there’s people out there that don’t come home, so that’s what it’s for you just have to keep that in mind.”

Tibetan Monks’ to create sand mandala at MU BY MEG.PRICE @iowastatedaily.com While not completely new to the Student Union Board’s history of events, The Mystical Arts of Tibet has a new interactive component this year. From Monday to Friday, monks from the Drepung Loseling Monastery will gradually construct a mandala sand painting in the Memorial Union Main Lounge. The mandala process consists of an opening ceremony including mantra recitations, chants and music, the drawing of the lines, the construction process itself and the final dismantling with dispersal of the sand. Measuring approximately 5 by 5 feet, the dul-tson-kyil-khor, meaning “mandala of colored powders,” requires millions of grains of sand, according to the university lectures program. Poured from metal funnels known as chakpur, these grains progressively form traditional shapes, ancient symbols and images meant to reconsecrate the earth and it’s residents. This tradition can span anywhere from a few days to several weeks, according to mysticalartsoftibet.org. Seven monks total will be present during the week to complete the Mandala. Though a similar event was held four years ago, the public will be able
to participate in a creative way this year. An additional mandala has been drafted by Kyrstin Myhers, senior in interdisciplinary design, said Cory Bock, Student Union Board multicultural awareness director. “The mandala we chose is called ‘Avalokiteshvara’ which means ‘Buddha for Compassion.’ We chose this mandala because compassion permeates through this university, and we’d like for that to remain strong and prevalent on campus,” Bock said. The community piece will be set up in the Main Lounge of the MU for visitors to construct. The sand painting will be open to everyone Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Additional Workspace events will be held in conjunction with this program. On Monday, an opening ceremony will be held at noon, followed by the drawing of the lines at 12:30 p.m. and a lecture at 7 p.m. Tuesday will start with construction at 10 a.m. for both the community and main mandala. A mandala drawing class will be available through the Workspace at 7 p.m. that is $20 for students and $30 for the public. On Wednesday, both mandalas will again initiate construction at 10 a.m. with an embroidered mandalas workshop to follow at 6 p.m. Cost is $21 for students and $31 for the public. Thursday brings another day of double mandala construction starting
MANDALA pg4
BY MACY.OTT @iowastatedaily.com A room of students and community members gathered together on Friday to bring awareness to violence against women, as well as mourn the death of an Iowa State student. A pop-up art exhibition was held to support those affected by the loss of Celia Barquín Arozamena, senior in civil engineering and Iowa State golfer who was found dead on Monday. “The pop-up events started last fall as a way for people to process events,” said Nancy Gebhart, curator of the ReACT gallery. “Art is incredibly powerful and it helps us to make sense of the things happening around us.” At Morrill Hall, the event showcased an interactive art exhibit, live music and tables with visitor input and resources to educate people on violence against women. Two interactive tables were showcased at the event where visitors could write their responses and share opinions. One table had the question, “What can we do to end violence against women?” Some of the responses included: “Stop saying sorry,”“Believe women,”“Don’t stop trying,” “Words are power,” “Men need to be here,”“Discover strength in knowledge,” “Vote,” and “The culture needs to change.” Another table had the prompt, “Share your story. Write. Draw. Talk.” On one wall was a color wheel where visitors were encouraged to write what emotions they have been feeling. Some of the entries were, “worried,” “anxious,” “fed up,” “empowered to speak out,” “tired,” and “alert.” “An event like this is very important for many reasons,” said Collin Powell, graduate student in interior design who helped organize the event. “The biggest reason is that it gets us to talk about violence in a narrative that isn’t blame.” Also featured was a wall of social media feedback following the death of Barquín Arozamena. Friends, community members, classmates and family of Barquín Arozamena had expressed their heartbreak after her death. Some of the quotes included, “I’m devastated, Celia was such an infectiously happy person.” and “No one can replace her.” Another way for visitors to leave their input was to put sticky notes on the walls.

“The first time I had a panic attack was over [being a part of the LGBTQIA+ community] and not knowing whether I could safely say something around a group of friends,” the student said. “There was a group of friends and I who went camping and we were all sitting around the fireplace and were like ‘hey what if we like said who we had crushes on in high school’ and took turns,” the student said. “I hadn’t told anyone that I was bisexual and wasn’t sure if I should bring up who I had crushes on because I just wasn’t sure how the crowd would take it. “So I ended up not saying anything and was just in the moment really nervous and was shaking. It was really noticeable and I was like ‘oh I’m just cold, don’t worry about it.’” When talking about the help they received on the Iowa State campus, the student recommended the Student Counseling Services because it is free and students can customize the amount of time and sessions they want. They also offer opportunities to speak with other people in the community. “I went into [getting set up with someone from the

community] not thinking I had a lot of options because I don’t have the insurance to cover something like that and I’m not able to cover that out of pocket being a student,” they said. “So I kind of went in there expecting to be disappointed, but it turned out better than I thought it would. They were able to find something that worked with all those concerns I had.” The student added it would be beneficial to students if they were able to receive long-term, inexpensive counseling. “Depression isn’t just being sad all the time, it’s a lot of different things,” the student said. “It’s being numb, it’s being guilty, it being lonely but also not wanting to be around people. Its all those sorts of things and different for each person. It’s a lot of physical things, it messes with sleeping, it messes with eating and it’s hard to separate [depression] from everything else that’s going on in your life.” Acceptance is important, especially for college students, at this point in life, where they are trying to find their identity. “About four-in-ten (39%) LGBTQIA+ adults say that at some point in their lives they were rejected by a family member or close friend because of their sexual orientation or gender

social services to move them into safer housing,” said Ames Police Chief Chuck Cychosz in the press release. “We are reevaluating the current practice of primarily being complaint driven and are looking at ways we can routinely visit the interior of public areas without waiting for complaints.” The city also said it has multiple safety initiatives currently in place. According to the press release, these initiatives include: “The Ames Police Safe Neighborhoods Team is made up of five officers who concentrate efforts in ‘hotspots.’ This team focuses on problem-solving-enforcement, extra patrol and surveillance. They supplement the patrol activities of area officers. “Parks and facilities undergo a Crime Prevention review. Police officers certified in Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) work with city staff and private entities to design and operate facilities and park areas in a safe manner. Several properties have completed a review process to become certified crime-free housing. “Property managers from around the community work with Ames Police to secure their facilities. Police officers have regular
identity,” according to the Pew Research Center website. This is directly correlated to suicide because The Trevor Project website states LGB youth who are from highly rejecting families are 8.4 times as likely to attempt suicide compared to LGB peers who reported no or minimal family rejection. On the Iowa State campus there are places to find help, one of them being the Center for LGBTQIA+ Student Success. The office provides one-on-one appointments with students by either walk-in or scheduled appointment. They are also able to meet outside the Center if it makes the student more comfortable, said Clare Lemke, assistant director of the Center for LGBTQIA+ Student Success. “We’re here to provide support in that we’re here to problem solve with students and we’re here to listen and get them connected to resources on campus,” Lemke said. “We want students to know that we are here, that we care and that if students are struggling, we really want students to connect with us.” More resources and information an be found online at the Iowa State Daily website.
communication about concerns observed by tenants, and police officers share information about potential issues. “Parks and Recreation staff routinely respond to safety concerns around park shelters, restroom, parking lots and paths. That information is shared with Ames Police. Upgrades to LED lighting around the city have created greater sight distance and better visibility for users. The Invasive Species Task Force is exploring safe removal of vegetation that creates ‘cover’ or blocks visibility. “The Park Watch program encourages all residents to take an active role in helping keep areas safe. If you see anyone in the parks after hours or committing acts of vandalism such as driving on the grass, damaging trees, defacing shelters, restrooms or playground equipment, please call Ames Police at 515-239-5133.” The efforts from the city in addressing this situation are ongoing and will continue wihth community feedback and discussions. “Celia Barquín Arozamena’s death is shocking, and we are looking at every community resource to address the safety of those who live in our community or visit,” Cychosz said in the press release. “We have started this review process and will continue it over the coming weeks. This will be a city of Ames effort but also a community-wide discussion.”

A closing ceremony will follow at noon with the dispersal of the sand at 12:45 p.m. “This event gives students the opportunity to view something painstakingly beautiful,” Bock said. “The mandala is created with millions of grains of sand, and the temporary nature of the painting represents the brevity of life.

Student athletes should be paid BY NOAH.GALLOWAY @iowastatedaily.com Playing collegiate sports is a seven-day-a-week job. Practices are both physically and mentally draining. Along with the demanding practices, student athletes have to travel around the country to compete against other schools. Student-athletes often have trouble making ends meet. Student-athletes go from having crowds chant their names one moment to having trouble finding enough money to get a post-game meal. These athletes on scholarships are forbidden to attain a job while students on academic scholarships are allowed to be employed. Meanwhile, the universities rake in enormous sums of money off of these student-athletes. It’s a daily sacrifice of their bodies to reach peak ability so they produce excellence on the big stage. Short-term and long-term health concerns present many issues for student-athletes. Finding a quality yet cheap source of food can be burdensome. “Portland Trailblazer Shabazz Napier described his experience as a college point guard in 2014 that was eerily, and sadly, so close to mine” said Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, retired basketball player, in an article for The Guardian. “He states, ‘we do have hungry nights that we don’t have enough money to get food in ... sometimes, there’s hungry nights where I’m not able to eat, but I still gotta play up to my capabilities.’” As far as long-term health problems are concerned, colleges are known to abandon student-athletes who suffer severe injuries by revoking the scholarship. “But scholarships depend on one’s ability to play and they may be taken away in cases of severe injury,” Abdul-Jabbar said. “This leaves the student without the ability to play or earn an education.” It’s somewhat of a misconception that a full-ride scholarship guarantees the certainty of a free tuition throughout the entire college experience. This is not the case. If a severe injury occurs, the scholarship may be dropped and the athlete will be left empty handed. Universities earn millions of dollars from college athletics. One of the biggest events in college sports is March Madness and the revenue is through the roof.“That $11 billion deal –– OK, it’s $10.8 billion to be exact –– between the NCAA and CBS/Turner Sports for March Madness between 2011 and 2024. We’re talking

$11 billion for three weekends of television per year,” said ESPN commentator Michael Wilbon. It seems prosperous that a bit of that revenue won’t trickle down to the athletes who make this event possible. The student-athletes don’t have many options to make money because they are not
allowed to become employed during the school year. Studentathletes sacrifice their health to compete at the highest level of collegiate sports. They have to balance travel, practices, games, school and trying to find enough money to make ends meet. Student-athletes should be compensated for all their hard work.

Learn from National Museum of Brazil fire BY CHARLIE COFFEY @iastate.edu Recent testimonies have indicated the fire that destroyed the National Museum of Brazil on Sept. 2 was due in part to governmental negligence of the institute. Funding had been cut multiple times in the past decade and many reports state the museum was falling into disrepair. The sprinkler system did not work and firefighters were at a loss on how to respond to the massive fire. The 200-year-old museum housed over 20 million items, all of which were valuable in some form to the history of Brazil, Latin America and the world. An estimated 90 percent of the artifacts were lost. While Brazilians mourn, the event is an important reminder of cultural responsibility to the rest of the world. Whether the citizens of Brazil used and supported the national museum or not, it held their cultural heritage. It is the duty of the inheritors of any culture to provide a space where artifacts and research related to that cultural heritage can be stored and fostered. National governments are often looked toward to create or, at the very least, support those spaces. Yet with governmental attitudes toward the arts and humanities constantly in fluctuation, it is incredibly often that funding for these programs is cut. Just last year, the Iowa Department of
COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA COMMONS An estimared 90 percent of artifacts housed in the National Museum of Brazil were lost in the fire that took place on Sept. 2.
Cultural Affairs had significant budget cuts and the Art in State Buildings Act, which is the act that has led to the prolific amount of public art on Iowa State’s campus, was eliminated. The
Art in State Buildings Act put forth .05 percent of governmental building budgets toward public art. Without money in the Department of Cultural Affairs, grants cannot be given to
museums, artists and researchers. Without the Art in State Buildings Act, formulaic governmental buildings are built without any sort of visual relief. Central Campus is a unique designed feature of Iowa State that sets the university apart from others like it. The green space was designed by Peter Melendy, an Iowa farmer and early functionary of the university, and is definitely a piece of our cultural heritage. Imagine if the university stopped supporting Central Campus. The grass would be overgrown, sidewalks would crumble and trees as old as the university would fall. Luckily, we have an administration that realizes the importance of not only Central Campus and other designed spaces like it, but the arts as a whole. The decay that would occur through neglect is actually happening in cultural institutes across the state in the absence of funding. Just a few months ago, the University of Iowa announced they would be closing seven specialized centers of learning as a direct response to state budget cuts. Cultural heritage is the responsibility of everyone who inhabits or engages with that culture. As Iowans, the institutes for understanding our culture are under constant attack and deserve our support. The neglect and subsequent fire at the National Museum of Brazil is a warning to the rest of the world that we must heed as we move forward.

A healing moment inside Hilton BY SPENCER.SUCKOW @iowastatedaily.com Regardless of the outcome, Saturday was bigger than sports. There was a match between two teams in the top-three in the Big 12 conference preseason poll — a close one that lived up to that billing, even. Iowa State and No. 19 Baylor needed five sets to decide a result, thanks to a valiant comeback attempt from the Cyclones. Ultimately, though, the home team couldn’t pull it out in the final set, and the Bears escaped with a 3-2 match win in Ames. It was the first conference loss of the season for Iowa State and a disappointing result for a team still trying to find a way to make everything click. When looking around Hilton Coliseum, however — and Jack Trice Stadium earlier in the day — the amount of yellow worn by people from all walks of life shows the result of a sporting event isn’t nearly as important as it is sometimes made out to be. No matter who won the match, Saturday was about showing support for a family and community in mourning. “We understand that this is just a game,” said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “It’s not about your sport or where you are in the country, it’s about people.” This week was a painful reminder that senseless, evil people do exist, and that the world can be a confusing and unjust place. However, out of that evil emerged an even greater reminder of just how much more kindness and empathy exists in spite of evil. Throughout the week, athletes, media, teams,
WILLIAM SIBILSKI/ IOWA STATE DAILY Teams across the country remembered slain Iowa State student Celia Barquín Arozamena on Saturday during their games.
universities and entire athletic conferences paid tribute to the memory of Celia Barquín Arozamena in some way. Rivalries were put aside, sports took a back seat and the entire country stepped up to show their support for the Barquín Arozamena family and Cyclone community. It was a reminder for
everyone — whether it be players, coaches or regular everyday people — that human life is fragile. “I think after this week, there are a lot more things that are more important than sports,” said senior outside hitter Jess Schaben. “The team, I think we’ve held each other a little bit closer this
week, and we’re really thankful for each other.” So yes, there was a volleyball match on Saturday. A thriller in which Baylor won, thanks in large part to an astounding 39 kills from outside hitter Yossiana Pressley in a spectacular individual effort. Iowa State hung tough despite being down three of its key contributors in sophomore middle blockers Avery Rhodes and Meegan Hart, as well as freshman outside hitter Brooke Andersen. The Cyclones got some big performances of their own, as players like Schaben and current middle blocker Candelaria Herrera combined for 36 kills on the afternoon. There was a volleyball match on Saturday, and there will be another one for the Cyclones next Friday in Lubbock, Texas when the team takes on Texas Tech. There will be many more matches, many more wins and many more losses. Players and coaches will be happy, and they’ll be upset. That’s sports, and sports are very important to a lot of people. But this week was a reminder for many that sports is a small part of peoples’ lives, and that we’re all human beings at the end of the day. Many people lost someone dear to them, and many people are hurting as a result. But the great thing about sports is its ability to unite people from all walks of life. From Baylor to West Virginia, from Akron to Texas Tech, thousands of gold-clad athletes, coaches and fans showed that at the end of the day, kindness and empathy can overpower any evil in this world. “It’s been pretty incredible to see that everybody cares,” Johnson-Lynch said.

KATLYN CAMPBELL/ IOWA STATE DAILY Defensive end, JaQuan Bailey, is in contention to break the school records for sacks.
Defense excels, offense falters BY AARON MARNER @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State got its first win of the season Saturday in a 26-13 victory over the Akron Zips. Defensive line wreaks havoc Through two games, Iowa State recorded one sack, when junior lineman Jamahl Johnson got to Kyler Murray last week against Oklahoma. Then, the pass rush got to Akron. Junior defensive end JaQuan Bailey got closer to the school record for career sacks with 1.5 against Akron. He finished with 3.5 tackles for loss as well. That puts Bailey at 12 career sacks. The Iowa State career record is 18.5 by Shawn Moorehead, who played for Iowa State from 2004-06. Bailey’s ability to pressure the quarterback complements the skill set of redshirt junior nose tackle Ray Lima, who often draws double-teams on the interior thanks to his run-stuffing ability. Bailey has a chance to shatter the sack record — and the single-season record of 8.5, set by both Dale Pierson and Moorehead.
Third down struggles weigh down offense The Cyclones settled for field goals four times against Akron. Iowa State started on Akron’s half of the field in two of the four field goal drives, and the other two drives started at Iowa State’s 44 and 45-yard lines. “We’ve gotta keep ourselves out of second-and-10, second-and-long,” said quarterback Zeb Noland. “You don’t have too many plays to go second-and-long, third-and-long, and then try to get back into field goal range on that third-and-long.” The Cyclones were 5-for-5 in red zone attempts, but only scoring one touchdown in five trips inside the 20-yard line probably won’t cut it in Big 12 play.Finishing 6-of-16 on third down conversions doesn’t help, either. “It is frustrating but on the sideline we try to keep that to a minimum,” Noland said. “Connor [Assalley] did a great job kicking the ball. We were in a lot of third-and-long, it wasn’t like we were in third-and-1 the whole game. “We’ve gotta do a better job on second down.”

Vinyl Theatre’s liftoff successful Group cruises through space-themed solo tour BY ANGELA RIVAS @iowastatedaily.com Houston, we are a go. First to take the stage on the Starcruiser tour that took place at the Maintenance Shop on Friday night was The Catching. The Los Angeles-based quartet opened the show with new songs that have yet to be released. Sporting the youngest musicians on the tour, The Catching had no problem catching the audience’s attention with originals and covers. Synth-infused vibrations broke through the silence as the second opening act, Royal Teeth, jumped on stage. The aesthetic sounds, backed by vocals Nora Patterson and Gary Larsen, spoke about the discovery and enjoyment of being young and wild with up-beat energy all night. Royal Teeth was joined on stage with the members of The Catching for their last song. Wearing giant costume heads, the group interacted with the crowd before leaving the stage. Friday night’s show at the M-Shop was the last show Royal Teeth will play on this tour. The year is 2036, and the Milwaukee-based band Vinyl Theatre emerges from the curtains wearing space suits and narrated by a space mission voiceover.
The first two songs fly by, and Vinyl Theatre starts to play “The Island.” Everyone crouches on the ground and waits for the lyrics “Welcome to the island, it sets you free,” until they burst up and jump with the band. For those who don’t understand all the space lingo, let me explain. Vinyl Theatre parted ways with their record label, Fueled By Ramen, last year. The trio quickly released their new and improved sound, “Starcruiser,” at the end of August. “Starcruiser,” the third full-length album released by Vinyl Theatre, has been a journey of “self-discovery and human resilience” for all three members. The band has been sporting space suits and following a space theme on their first headlining tour. The night ended strong with confetti guns and Vinyl Theatre’s most streamed song on Spotify, “Breaking Up My Bones”. They were joined on stage by opening acts The Catching and Royal Teeth to finish the night. Four years ago Vinyl Theatre played on the same stage in the M-Shop. The trio opened for Twenty-One Pilots, alongside Misterwives. Now headlining and filling up venues on their own, hopefully Iowa State won’t have to wait four more years to see them play again.

Telltale Games shuts down BY ALEXANDER GRAY @iowastatedaily.com Telltale Games laid off around 250 employees without severance after reportedly toxic management. Sources told The Verge that employees were in constant “crunch time,” working 20 hour days and 100 hour weeks. In November 2017, the developer had to lay off 90 employees as a result of their unstable and unpredictable management style. In an official statement on their Twitter, the company said they reached this decision after “a year marked by insurmountable challenges.” “It’s been an incredibly difficult year for Telltale as we worked to set the company on a new course,” said CEO Pete Hawley in the same Twitter post. “Unfortunately, we ran out of time to get there.” The defunct company has announced that a skeleton crew of 25 employees will fulfill their contract with Netflix to complete a TV version of “Minecraft: Story Mode,” but “The Walking Dead: The Final Season” has been cancelled. The second episode was set to release Sept. 25, but it is unclear if it will ever see the light of day. Telltale is yet to make comment if the series will see closure, or if there will be reparations made for fans who bought the game with the expectation of four episodes. The “Stranger Things” project and the second seasons for “Game of Thrones” and “The Wolf Among Us” are among the casualties of Telltale’s shutdown. Lead voice actress from “The Walking Dead” games, Melissa Hutchison, isn’t even sure of her character Clementine’s fate. “To my knowledge, they will release Episode 2 and then that will be it,” said Hutchison in a Twitter post. “It hurts me that you, the fans, will not get to see [Clementine’s] journey through to the end.” Telltale Games was launched in 2004 by

former LucasArts developers, reaching moderate success with series like “Jurassic Park,” “Sam & Max,” and “Back to the Future.” The developer had their breakout success with the first season of “The Walking Dead” video game. From there, the company exploded with projects, developing “Game of Thrones,” “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Batman” games. Despite initial success with “The Walking Dead,” no other series saw even close the same critical acclaim. Fans and reviewers put the blame on Telltale’s proprietary game engine that left games plagued by bugs and game-breaking glitches. The engine was updated for the release of 2012’s “Batman: The Telltale Series,” but had similar issues. The developer also received frequent criticism for the many surface-level choices in series that promised game-altering choices. Telltale finally began to address in 2017’s follow-up “Batman” game, “The Enemy Within,” but it was a case of too little, too late.
