Yellow Rose Drag Show ‘It has grown into the most amazing thing’
BY MARIBEL.BARRERA @iowastatedaily.com On Saturday night, drag queens performed at the Yellow Rose Drag Show hosted by Delta Lambda Phi fraternity. The show was hosted by Ima Moista Toweletta Beaverhausen from The Blazing Saddle in Des Moines, Iowa. It featured performances from seven queens in total, many from The Blazing Saddle. Others came from farther away, including one performer from Burlington, Iowa, as well as another from Texas. Each queen performed their own routine of dancing and lip syncing. The night began with a performance from the host herself. Beverhausen rose to the stage and gave a sultry lip sync performance of Get The Party Started by Shirley Bassey. She wore five wigs to create a baby pink beehive hairdo. “I used to hate drag,” said Robin Graves, one of the drag queens. “I thought it was super weird. And then I saw [a performance] one day and I was like ‘They’re so fabulous. I want to do that,’ and I kind of did it as a joke. I was really bad, and my bra fell off. And then I was like ‘Let me try it one more time,’ and then I [thought] ‘OK maybe I’m good at this.’” Graves has been doing drag for three and a half years. As a dancer, she sees drag as just another form

of self expression. “It’s really cool to not be yourself sometimes,” Graves said. “I think that when I’m in drag and when I’m not in drag, I am two different people. I can be whoever I want.” Another performer, Taystee Addiction, of Burlington, Iowa, donned a platinum blonde wig alongside a pink and black bodysuit and silver kneehigh boots. For one of her performances, she chose an EDM mashup of songs by Kesha. All of the proceeds from ticket sales, as well as
tips received by the performers, were donated to The Trevor Project, a non-profit organization aimed at suicide prevention for LGBTQIA+ youth. In addition, Derrik Wallace and Paul Hengesteg, the president and treasurer of Delta Lambda Phi used the event to promote resources available for potential at-risk members of the LGBTQIA+ community, both on-campus and off. By the end of the night, the show had reached their goal of more than $3,000 in donations for The Trevor Project.
The second annual Ames Pridefest attracted more than 1,000 people of all ages and identities on Saturday in downtown Ames. The event featured drag performances, drag queen story time and a gay men’s chorus performance. There were also dozens of vendors who provided services to attendees. Ames Pride, a non-profit organization, hosted the event. Mara Spooner, co-chair of Ames Pride, said they first decided to organize a pride festival after the fall 2016 election. “At that time, a lot of us were anxious and nervous and wanted to do something productive with that energy,” Spooner said. “We saw that there were not a lot of organizations in the queer community outside of campus.” As an organizaiton, Ames Pride was formed after the first PrideFest at Bandshell Park. “After the event, we took a step further and formed Ames Pride as a non-profit organization,” Spooner said. “Ames Pridefest has become one of the signature events of Ames Pride.” Spooner said being in a place that is perceived as more conservative or less-inclusive makes it more important to organize events like this so that people have a space to “be visible and to just be together.” Ames Pridefest offered free branded merchandise. It also had various vendors at the event, such as food trucks and commercial vendors. “We want people to know they have a place in Ames they belong to and feel a little bit connected to their home,” Spooner said. “To let them know that they are not here alone, and there are people who love and support them.” Sarah Mansell is a stay-at-home

New process to streamline scholarship applications BY KAYLIE.CROWE @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State undergraduate students will have a new, one-step routine to retrieve university scholarships for the 2019-2020 school year. Previously, students were required to fill out multiple applications when in search for Iowa State scholarships, but with the new system called, students will submit a single online application that will be used by different departments and units for use on a multitude of scholarship opportunities. “ We are really trying to keep the student experience at the forefront. That was really the driving force behind it,” said Ann
Wessman, program manager for student financial aid. “I worked with scholarships since 1995 here and we have been talking about it that entire time. That it is confusing to students and they don’t understand there are many different entities that award scholarships.” OneApp is also going to change the way students fill out the lone application. Students will not be asked to provide relevant information that Iowa State already has like grade point averages, demographics, hometowns and financial need. The software will import that data automatically and help students find scholarships accordingly. Once basic information is submitted,
students may receive suggestions for scholarships they could apply for that require additional follow-up, such as an essay. As new scholarships are added after students apply, they will be notified of the additional options. “What we wanted to do was really improve the student experience so that they can, in the end, fill out one application and be considered for college and departmental scholarships as well as scholarships awarded through the financial office,” Wessman said. For OneApp’s trial run, current students and incoming transfer students used it this past spring to apply for scholarships in the College of Engineering. So far, Wessman said the feedback has
been positive. “The trial run last year was incredible,” Wessman said. “The number of questions we had received in the past versus what we had in the last year dropped dramatically. Everybody was excited about getting this going because it was well overdue. It took a lot of people devoting lots of hours.” After a successful trial run, the system is expected to go live on Monday, Oct. 1. “ We aim to eventually grow university-wide with Greek affairs honors program, and all these different departments that have their own application process,” Wessman said. “We have all the colleges and departments on board for this year and hopefully we will expand next year.”

A celebration of the CALS college Event to feature club competitions, new networking event BY MEGAN.NEMEC @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences’ annual CALS week will be taking place Oct. 1 through Oct 7. Throughout the week, CALS students will come together to celebrate the college with club competitions, free food and a concert. Jenna Rasmusson, CALS Council publicity co-chairman and junior in agronomy, described CALS Week as a team effort. “Planning starts as soon as school starts and there is an entire CALS week committee dedicated to planning CALS week within CALS council… it is honestly a full team effort,” Rasmusson said. Some changes are coming this year, such as a change in name from the CALS Olympics to the CALS Club Competition. Clubs in the college of agriculture will go head to head at games, competing for a trophy to take home. This event will take place on Thursday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. in the Kildee Pavillion. “This year we made a traveling trophy and whoever wins gets to keep it for the entire year until the next CALS Club Competition,” said Elizabeth Smith, CALS Council CALS Week co-chairman. “Each club gets their name engraved on the trophy each year they win,” adds Rasmusson. She said she hopes this will start a new tradition within the college of agriculture. Another new event is the Ag Entrepreneurship Initiative Round Table that will take place on Thursday, Oct. 4 at 5:30 p.m. in the Harl Commons. During the event, a panel of entrepreneurs in the agriculture industry come and talk about their businesses, Smith said. “This gives students that are interested in starting their own business the opportunity to talk to them,” Smith said. During CALS Week, lunch is provided Monday through Thursday to students on central campus from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., as well as breakfast on Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. The food available ranges from pizza to burgers to brats.
IOWA STATE DAILY Students gather in front of Curtiss Hall on Oct. 4, 2016 for a free lunch provided by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Student Council.
A big part of planning for CALS week is getting that food ordered and paid for, Smith said. “I am really excited to see everyone out there getting lunches and getting together on central campus to socialize,” Rasmusson said. The CALS Council worked very hard to plan and perfect a week filled with activities for CALS students of all ages.
“The point is to celebrate our whole college and get everyone together, so I think that will be really rewarding to see the whole councils efforts pay off,” said Rasmusson. Smith stresses that she would like to see students interacting with sponsors. “Sponsors have the opportunity to come and you hope that kids stop and talk to the sponsors but you never really know.”
Dance Marathon: Why are you ‘for the kids?’ BY WILLA.COLVILLE @iowastatedaily.com Dance Marathon hosted their annual 4K For the Kids on Sunday. The event took place on Central Campus from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. Iowa State Dance Marathon has been helping children with life-threatening illnesses for 22 years. Lauren Niehm Year: Sophomore Major: Apparel, merchandising and design Position: Recruitment and dancer relations committee Favorite memory: “Hearing the powerful stories throughout the big event, but over this past year I’ve really enjoyed getting to know people in the RDR committee and people who are really passionate about Dance Marathon.” Why do you dance?: “I started dancing for [a family friend] who I’ve known since she was born. Her curiosity and energy never ceases to amaze me. She has gone through so many procedures and has battled so much. I just love being able to impact her as well as other children.” Megan Flattery Year: Sophomore Major: Marketing Position: Families committee Favorite memory: “Every hour [at the big event] they tell the story of all the families and that’s my favorite part.”
Megan Wallace Year: Senior Major: Child, adult and family services Position: Families committee Favorite memory: “I actually want to be a child life specialist. So I want to work with the kiddos who are inpatient eventually. [Dance Marathon] helped me choose this career path. Last year is when I really started thinking about it because I heard some of the [miracle] families talking about their child life specialist and I thought ‘I wanna be that person for somebody.’” Sarah Allen Year: Senior Major: Spanish Secondar y Education, ESL Endorsement Position: Family Relations Committee Favorite memory: “There’s so many memories that you can’t comprehend how many. But my favorite is probably the Dance Marathon event in 2017 when I got to dance with a miracle kiddo on stage. He wanted to hold the microphone for me when our committee was being recognized and wanted to do the moral dance with us. That was just the best moment ever. And for the past two years I’ve actually been honored to be his family rep.” Why do you dance?: “You can come to all these events and you’ll get just a little taste of what happens at the big event. But actually being there, seeing all the kiddos get excited, even more so than Christmas or their birthdays, that’s the most rewarding thing you can do here on campus. It just makes me happy to know that all the money that I’ve raised throughout my time at dance marathon is going to such an amazing cause.”
Carter Mumm Year: Sophomore Major: Marketing Position: Public relations committee Favorite memory: “When we revealed the [total amount raised] last year at the big event. It showed that all the hard work we did paid off and we know that money is going toward a really great cause helping kids out who are fighting for their lives everyday.” Why do you dance?: “I dance so that kids have more opportunities to achieve whatever they want in life, and so they can just be normal kids and not have to worry about illnesses that hold them back. They don’t deserve to be going through that and neither do their families.” Jessica Bigelow Year: Sophomore Major: Accounting Position: Sponsorship director Favorite memory: “My favorite memory would probably just be the big event and having a reason why we stand for 15 hours. By standing for 15 hours your body resembles that of a child fighting cancer and that puts it into perspective at least for me. Your outlook on life really changes.” Why do you dance?: “I dance for my uncle mark who passed away this summer from a brain tumor. He was actually at Stead Family Children’s Hospital when he was a child and that’s who we raise money for.”

Cosby verdict sheds hope Powerful men should not be exempt from being convicted for their crimes against women BY PEYTON.SPANBAUER @iowastatedaily.com Last Tuesday, 60 women received justice for crimes committed against them, giving half the United States population validation for what is now being seen as almost a horrifically shared experience of being a woman: sexual assault. With the sentencing of Bill Cosby has come a huge sigh of relief that our judiciary system has finally handled sexual assult cases correctly, the three to 10 years Cosby will spend in jail sends the message to powerful men across the country. Andrea Constand, who is the chief accuser in the retrial of Cosby, was first told by lawyers in 2005 that her case wouldn’t likely stand up in court due to a lack of evidence. Just 13 years ago, her case was passed over. Now, she’s one of the women who helped put a violent serial rapist behind bars. This cultural shift exemplifies the long overdue validation toward women who accuse men of sexual assault. A major problem facing the societal opinion of female accusers of sexual assault is the timeliness in which they report their stories. The irony that men in power fail to see is that women choose not to come forward because there is a long history of men not believing them. Moreover, the psychological trauma that comes with being assaulted can take years to process, resulting in women not feeling
Courtesy of Bastiaan Slabbers Columnist Peyton Spanbauer argues that Cosby’s conviction is the first step of a long overdue cultural shift explemifying validation toward women who accuse men of sexual assault.
comfortable sharing their stories until possibly much later. The validation that this case has provided women who have experienced sexual assault will hopefully encourage more women to come forward with their own stories. Bill Cosby was considered America’s father and was a leader in the integration and acceptance of AfricanAmericans on television. No one wanted him to be a rapist. America did not want to believe this case, yet justice has been served. This is a huge victory and should
set a precedent for future sexual assault cases. This verdict comes at a dramatic time as President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, is being questioned regarding allegations of sexual assault by three women. As the Senate continues to interrogate both Kavanaugh and Bessey Ford, the first victim to come forward, it is important to reflect on Cosby’s case and remember his trial. While Kavanaugh isn’t on trial, he is being judged for a job interview. In the real world, if sexual assault allegations come up
about a potential candidate for employment, it’s pretty obvious that they’re problematic and shouldn’t be hired. This is not only a case against Kavanaugh but has rather turned into a debate on the credibility sexual assault victims when they come forward. To question the intentions of females who are brave enough to publicly call out and describe one of the most difficult, painful and personal experiences of their lives, while knowingly subjecting themselves for public debate, seems ridiculous.
EDITORIAL
City should turn Welch Avenue into a pedestrian mall Changes may soon be coming to Welch Avenue. Ames City Council meetings over the past couple of years have looked into removing parking and creating bike lanes and renewed interest is again pushing for those things. While no physical changes have been made, the City of Ames should take a step back before to assess the situation.Welch Avenue has long been the night scene of Ames. A plethora of bars and restaurants makes this place an inviting spot for young adults to congregate into the early hours of the morning. With such a large number of people moving about, the City of Ames should do more than just remove parking and install bike lanes. What Welch Avenue really needs is a pedestrian mall. Without obstructing the Ames Fire Department Station Two, the City of Ames should permanently close off Welch Avenue to all vehicle traffic somewhere just south of Lincoln Way. A pedestrian mall would offer a number of benefits. Most importantly, it would make Welch Avenue much safer. Besides the obvious safety advantage of having zero traffic, one or both ends of the pedestrian mall could be turned into short term parking,

encouraging bar patrons to utilize services such as Uber or Lyft rather than drive themselves. The intersection of Welch Avenue and Lincoln Way would also see improvements in safety. Already one of the most dangerous intersections in Ames, it could be redesigned to better accommodate the large numbers of pedestrians that cross there to get to campus. The pedestrian mall should also be open to bikes. This has been a goal of the City
Council and rightfully so. Many students bike to campus and allowing them a way through ought to remain a priority. While a pedestrian mall would be more expensive than the currently proposed changes, it offers far more advantages. A pedestrian mall would add to the atmosphere of Welch Avenue, it would improve the safety of pedestrians as well as increase traffic flow along Lincoln Way and it would give cyclists a better way to bike to campus.

Cyclone offense sputters
Defense steps up in road loss to TCU Horned Frogs BY AARON.MARNER @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State fell to TCU on Saturday by a final score of 17-14. The Cyclones dropped to 1-3 (0-2 Big 12) with the loss. The Cyclones’ offense struggled all night, while the defense kept a dangerous TCU offense at bay. Passing game stays grounded Iowa State’s offense has been a weak spot this season. The Cyclones are last in the Big 12 in yards per game, thanks to low outputs against Iowa and TCU. Coach Matt Campbell’s offense also ranks last or tied for last in first downs per game, passing touchdowns per game and rushing touchdowns per game. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Zeb Noland went 14-for-28 through the air but mustered only 79 yards. Noland didn’t throw an interception but did lose a fumble. TCU’s Ben Banogu recovered the loose ball and returned in 47 yards for a touchdown to give the Horned Frogs a 14-7 lead early
in the third quarter. “The reality of it is we’re not where we’re at in the football game without Zeb’s big response,” Campbell said. “I think my most pride is how Zeb responded and gave us a chance to go right down the field.” Still, the passing game struggled all night, as redshirt junior receiver Hakeem Butler was held to two catches on eight targets and no receiver gained more than 23 yards through the air. Montgomery keeps rolling The Cyclone offense got a boost last week against Akron when junior running back David Montgomery had his first 100-yard game of 2018. He followed that up with another 100-yard game against TCU. Montgomery ran for 101 yards on 21 carries, good for a 4.8 yards per carry average. Montgomery’s production has been inconsistent this season, but that may be partially a function of Iowa State’s inexperienced offensive line. The Cyclones have mixed-and-matched linemen so far, starting
three different lineups in the trenches in the first three games. Montgomery’s performance didn’t shock anybody, but his consistency and ability to pick up first downs will be critical for the Iowa State offense moving forward. Defense holds strong again Iowa State’s offense has struggled this year, but the defense has been stellar. That continued again on Saturday as TCU was held well below its season averages. Through TCU’s first four games — which includes games against Ohio State and Texas, both ranked in the AP Top 25 — the Horned Frogs averaged 35.3 points, 443.8 yards and two rushing touchdowns per game. Against Iowa State, TCU scored 17 points (less than half of their average), gained 299 yards (over 140 yards below average) and didn’t rush for a touchdown. Iowa State’s defense will have its hands full next week at Oklahoma State. The Cowboys are 4-1 and have scored 44 points or more in four of their five games.

Big offensive weekend leads to two wins BY STEPHEN.MCDANIEL @iowastatedaily.com Cyclone Hockey continued its good start to the season after picking up two wins at home against Illinois State University with a 6-3 win on Friday and followed that up with a 5-2 win on Saturday. The Cyclone offense proved to be one of the biggest determining factors throughout both games. Senior forward Tony Uglem scored twice in the Friday night game and worked with fellow senior forward Aaron Azevedo on a deflection for a goal in the second game. Azevedo put up another score in the second game. “What’s helped us so far is moving the puck out quickly, getting the puck in the offensive zone,” Azevedo said. “I think we’ve been able to control the puck in the offensive zone quite a bit, that’s been able to lead to offensive scoring chances. Senior forwards Adam Alcott and Trevor Sabo also provided goals in the Cyclones wins. Alcott would score late in the third period of the first game, halting an Illinois State comeback.
Sabo scored the Cyclones first goal in the second game, tying the score up 1-1. The freshmen also left their mark in both games. Freshman forward C.J. Banser scored to put the Cyclones up 2-0 in the first game and took advantage of an open net, scoring late in the third period of the second game. Freshman forward Nick Rogers would also get on the board, providing the Cyclones with their fourth goal in the first game. On the offensive side, the Cyclones took advantage of power plays, scoring on 1-of-3 power plays on Friday night and scoring on 2-of-3 power plays on Saturday night. The Cyclones scored on a total of 50 percent of their power plays throughout the weekend. Uglem scored the first power play goal in the first period of the first game, giving the Cyclones a 1-0 lead. The other two power play goals came from the first period of the second game, with a Sabo goal tying it up at 1-1. The other coming from an Uglem shot deflection off of Azevedo, giving them the lead at 2-1. “We usually start out pretty hot at the beginning of the year on our special teams,” said coach and general manager Jason Fairman. “So if we

keep going at this pace, that’d be fantastic.” While the Cyclones proved to be too much for Illinois State, there’s always room for improvement. “I’m pleased with some of the lines and
individual players,” Fairman said. “But we’ve got some [deficiencies] we need to address, which every team does in the beginning of the year.” The Cyclones have a two-game home series against Alabama, beginning Friday at 7:30 p.m.

Digisaurus caps off tour in Ames
Solo-act takes Maximum Ames back with retro 80s vibes BY TREVOR BABCOCK @iowastatedaily.com Surrounded by retro arcade games and pinball machines, solo-act Digisaurus busted a move to his own retro wave of pop music at the Time Out barcade Saturday night. Digisaurus co-headlined the four day Maximum Ames Music Festival, a celebration of music and culture all around downtown Ames. Hometown boys Honeygold began the evening with a moody atmosphere and dynamic vocaliz ation. The lead singer effortlessly transitioned from low dreary moans to emotional falsettos to shrieks of rage. The trio displayed aggression, somberness and promise during their set. Local band Great Caesar’s Goat rocked the house with gritt y passionate vocals, groovy bass lines and story-driven tunes. The band incorporated elements of blues, country and classic rock in a master class on instrumentation and song writing. The trio, normally a four piece, performed without one of their guitarists and with a drummer filling in after only three practices
with the band. This made the performance so impressive, as there was a clear chemistry between the three despite the last-minute lineup changes. Digisaurus put on a spectacle of a solo performance with an array of keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines, lights, a smoke machine and a guitar. He constantly jumped between instruments all while belting out infectious hooks. He layered looping chord progressions, guitar riffs and various musical samples under catchy poppy lyrics. His songs took on different moods from sassy to sexy to angry, but all with a danceable and chill electronic sound. Digisaurus had fearless enthusiasm in his performance. He wasn’t afraid to engage the crowd or become one with his music through confident mannerisms and fierce movement. His style emitted a retro ‘80s vibe, perfectly complimenting the bar he performed in. At the end of the night Digisaurus thanked the audience and promised to be back soon. His performance during Maximum Ames capped off a 60-day leg of his tour.

Early access: Forza Horizon 4 great for racing fans BY TANNER OWENS @iowastatedaily.com Driving through the rolling hills of Great Britain in a McLaren Senna sounds like a dream. With the vibrant sun shining and engine roaring, “Forza Horizon 4” allows you to live this dream in the opening sequences of Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games newest game. The fourth installment of the racing series delivers the goods in almost every category. The visuals are astounding to say the least, which has been true of every “Horizon” game. The gameplay definitely feels different than its predecessors, which isn’t a bad thing. The controls have remained mostly the same but hold my only complaint about the game so far. The most telling sign of how great of a game “Horizon 4” is that my biggest complaint is about how to change the radio station. In previous games, the D-pad has been used to change radio stations. The stations could be changed by either clicking left or right on the D-pad. In “Horizon 4,” only the right click changes the station. This is particularly annoying when wanting to go back to another channel because now you have to cycle completely through the other stations just to get to the channel

you want. This is an unnecessary distraction, especially at high speeds. Aside from that minuscule detail, there are nothing but good things to be said. The soundtrack is as strong as ever, offering anything for anyone with its six radio stations. Any mood you’re feeling, this game has the music for it.
Graphics have always been a strong suit for the “Forza” franchise and “Horizon 4” is no different. In fact, it could be my favorite-looking game of the entire franchise. The addition of seasons in “Horizon 4” has been a massive talking point ever since the trailer was released at E3 earlier this summer. Spring and summer look stunning, similar to the stock seasons in previous games.
Autumn and winter are the crowning achievements in terms of new content, and they add an entirely new experience to a game that already has a dizzying amount of things to do. Also newly added is a customizable avatar, which gives the player an enhanced sense of individuality. The game offers a huge amount of fashion options, right down to watches and driving gloves. I enjoyed tinkering around with my avatar’s outfits, and the feature overall is a welcome addition to the franchise. The map is spectacular, although it seems slightly smaller than Horizon 3’s depiction of Australia. The map offers much better drifting areas, as well as flat-as-could-be straightaways. The “Forza” franchise as a whole has always been a niche market, offering a pure automobile racing experience. What sets “Horizon” apart is the playability of it. It is pure, unadulterated joy. “Horizon 4” takes players of any skill level and makes them the master of their own world. That is something special. “Forza Horizon 4” is set to release Oct. 2 for Xbox One and Windows PCs. Those that preordered the ultimate edition received access to the full game four days early at midnight, Sept. 28.
