IOWA STATE DAILY Jack Land tackles offensive lineman Colin Newell during Victory Day on Aug. 25. Newell, Ames native and redshirt freshman, made his first appearance against Oklahoma on Sept. 15.

HOMEGROWN TALENT Ames’ Colin Newell steps into the spotlight BY AARON.MARNER @iowastatedaily.com When Iowa State fell to Oklahoma in the second game of the season to fall to 0-2, coach Matt Campbell still found time to praise a redshirt freshman making his first career start. This redshirt freshman, Campbell said, probably should have started in Iowa State’s season opening loss to Iowa. That redshirt freshman — center Colin Newell — has made waves this season, earning a spot on an offensive line looking for young talent. “I thought Colin Newell kinda steadied the ship for us,” Campbell said. “He played really, really good.

“His play from the beginning of the game to the end of the game was outstanding growth.” Newell’s rise wasn’t necessarily expected, at least not this soon in his college career. Two years ago, he was still playing high school football for Ames High School. He made his first appearance at Jack Trice Stadium in Iowa State’s loss to Oklahoma, in front of his proud parents, grandparents and friends. It was a huge moment for the Newell family — Newell was born and raised an Iowa State fan and said he knew he wanted to be a Cyclone the moment he got an offer. “It was really special,” Newell said.

Iowa Senators react to Kavanaugh confirmation vote BY DEVYN.LEESON @iowastatedaily.com In a 50-48 vote Saturday afternoon, the Republican-held Senate confirmed Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. Following his confirmation, Iowa Senators applauded the process and newly appointed judge. Kavanaugh’s confirmation marks the end of months of partisan feuding as he becomes the second Supreme Court justice nominated by Donald Trump to sit the bench. “I feel it’s a great day for us, going through a fair and thorough process, that I said I was going to hold throughout the committee process,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee. “A lot of times I didn’t know whether we would get to this point, but I am very glad we do. I think the most important thing is to think about what it says about the background of judge Kavanaugh: a person who has been very well

educated, very devoted to public service.” The public service Grassley refers to is in relation to Kavanaugh’s 12 years as a district court judge out of Washington D.C. and having more than 300 opinions in that time. “He is going to look at the law, he is going to look at the facts of the case,” Grassley said. “He will leave his own personal views out of it, and he won’t do what some legislators do, which is be a super legislator trying to fill in holes or modernize the constitution.” The comments from Grassley explain much of what the opposition within the Ames community consisted of. Senior lecturer of political science Dirk Deam used Kavanaugh’s record to say he had ideological bias rather than proving his non-partisanship like Grassley suggested. “I’d like to see older judges,” Deam said. “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.” Others within the Iowa State community said Kavanuagh has shown bias in the past and will do it again as a judge on the Supreme Court. “I think that he has shown that 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 in a previous interview with the Daily. Other Iowa politicians stated their support for the process in which Kavanaugh was nominated as well as his credentials. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, voted to approve Kavanaugh to the court and released a statement shortly after the nomination Saturday afternoon.

Human Sciences week celebrates colleges departments BY LAUREL.GLYNN @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s College of Human Sciences will bring multiple lectures, a carnival and more as part of their annual College of Human Sciences week. With the goal of reaching community members beyond their own college, throughout the week, students will show off the work they have done in their majors. Co-chairs Ryan True and Kayla Morehead took the lead on this project in hopes of extending their outreach to the rest of the university, True said. “We work to empower people to take roles that would celebrate the great work of the college,” True said. “We feel that the academic and professional work that’s done inside and outside the College of Human Sciences is really worth celebrating with everybody.” Each branch will host special events, giving each a chance to show off what they do individually as well as what the college does collectively, according to the College of Human Sciences. On Monday, there will be $2 cherry pies in the Joan Bice Underwood Tearoom from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., courtesy of the apparel, events and hospitality students. “We wanted to include the university in the celebration of the college,” True said. “We feel that the academic and professional work that’s done inside and outside the College of Human Sciences is really worth celebrating with everybody.” The department of human development and family studies will host the “Game of Life” from noon to 2 p.m. Tuesday the East Marston lawn. This gives attendees a chance to play interactive games that aid in the understanding of human development. Hollywood costume designer, Ruth E. Carter, will also be giving a presentation at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Stephen’s Auditorium. On Wednesday, the department of kinesiology will host a human sciences walk from noon to 1 p.m. This walk will begin and end on the south lawn of MacKay Hall. The rest of Wednesday will focus strongly on culture with a panel on the educational and social experiences of Latinx youth, hosted by the department of human and family studies and the school of education

Iowa State pigs out at Bacon Expo

BY KIRSTIE.MARTIN @iowastatedaily.com Residents of Ames, future cyclones, Iowa State alumni and current students and more celebrated the sixth annual Iowa State Bacon Expo on Saturday. The expo was held from 11 a.m to 2 p.m. at the Jeff and Deb Hansen Agriculture Student Learning Center. Vendors at the expo ranged from the Meat Science Club to the Rodeo Club, with all of them exhibiting something pork related. Interim Dean of Iowa State’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Joe Colletti, started the morning off with opening remarks. Colletti then participated in a game of Bacon

Feud, one of many competitions held. Not all attendees came from the Ames area. Rob Russell, alumnus of Iowa State, traveled 120 miles to attend the Bacon Expo. Russell said his favorite thing about the Bacon Expo is the large amount of food that you get for $10. Bacon Expo t-shirts were available for purchase right inside of the front doors, with a portion of the proceeds from the sales benefitting the Special Olympics of Iowa. There was a variety of bacon-related food items available at the expo. This year’s food ranged from bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers to mac and cheese wrapped in bacon. Russell said he wants people to remember “that by supporting the Bacon Expo, you support the university, students and the pork industry.”

LGBTQIA+ community to share stories BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com Editors Note: The Iowa State Daily will not be covering the event due to the private nature of the stories shared.

ERIN STUCKEY/ IOWA STATE DAILY Panelists shared useful social media accounts they find helpful during the Coming Out As Trans discussion on Oct. 19, 2016.

Students and community members will be meeting from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday in 204 Carver Hall to share their stories. Specifically their coming out stories. The Pride Alliance will be hosting a Coming Out Circle this Tuesday in celebration of National Coming Out Day which is recognized on Oct. 11. The Pride Alliance stated they have been doing this event for a couple years now. “This is a safe space for people in the LGBTQIA+ community to come and share their experiences with their identities and how this has impacted their lives,” said

Roslyn Gray, president of The Pride Alliance. The event “promises to be moving and uplifting, and all stories shared here stay here. There is no requirement to share,” according to the Center for LGBTQIA+ Student Success. “An event where people in the queer community can share their coming out experiences in a validating space is needed in the ISU community,” Gray said. Gray said Iowa State has been spending time to make the campus and community more accepting, but there are still challenges students and queer students face. “With this event it is one of the few places on campus where raw emotional bonding throughout the community can take place and because of these moments this event is always a very rewarding time,” Gray said.

Carter brings African culture to the big screen BY OLIVIA.HANSON @iowastatedaily.com

“Having family there, having friends there — they were proud of me. It was a really special moment for them, too. They’ve sacrificed so much for me and done so much for me, there’s no way I could repay them.” Campbell and the rest of the coaching staff have made a clear policy of having the best five linemen on the field, regardless of position. Newell’s ability to adapt to center from guard was a huge factor

“Over the past several months, Sen. Grassley has led a fair and just process for Judge Kavanaugh and the American people,” according to the press release from Ernst. “I want to thank him and the Judiciary Committee staff, for their hard work and diligent efforts.” Democrats in the Senate objected Kavanaugh’s nomination in speeches throughout Friday and Saturday morning before the vote, however his confirmation was all but assured after critical swing votes from Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.; Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., announced their support for Kavanaugh on Friday night. These announcements followed the conclusion of an FBI investigation into the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford. Kavanaugh has denied these allegations. Democrats have denounced the

in getting him on the field. “You forget that Colin Newell’s a redshirt freshman,” said Bryan Gasser, wide receivers coach. “He’s very mature. He’s kind of got that veteran vibe to him even though he’s only played a handful of games.” Iowa State’s offensive line as a whole has struggled this year. The Cyclones’ offense has been one of the least effective in the Big 12 so far — the Cyclones are dead last in the conference in points per game, yards per game and rushing yards per game — and part of that is the

investigation, claiming it was not thorough enough and excluded key witness testimony. Sen. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., called the FBI efforts “a whitewash” and vowed to open a new investigation if the Democrats take the Senate in the upcoming midterm elections. While most senators adhered to party line, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, announced their intentions to break from the majority of their party on Friday. “I have reservations about this vote given the serious accusations against Judge Kavanaugh and the temperament he displayed in the hearing,” Manchin said. “And my heart goes out to anyone who has experienced any type of sexual assault in their life. However, based on all of the information I have available to me, including the recently completed FBI report, I have found Judge Kavanaugh to be a qualified jurist.”

Wakanda forever! Ruth E. Carter, costume designer for the hit movie Marvel’s “Black Panther” will take the stage for a lecture at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Stephens Auditorium. Carter has worked in the industry for over three decades and, during this time, has received two academy award nominations for ‘Best Costume Design’ for Spike Lee’s “Malcolm X” in 1993 and Steven Spielberg’s “Amistad” in 1998. She also received an Emmy nomination for the reboot of “ROOTS” in 2016. Carter has worked with Spike Lee on over 10 films including “Do the Right Thing,” “School Daze,” “Old Boy ” and “Malcolm X.” Carter is also known for her work in the films Ava Duvernay’s “Selma” and Lee Daniels’ “The Butler.” Dr. Eulanda Sanders, department chair of apparel, events and hospitality management (AESHM), is excited for students to meet a designer who has had such an outstanding career. “I think for our students to be able to interact with a designer of this caliber is exciting,” Sanders said. “To be able to have someone come to campus that has worked with premier directors such as Spike Lee–– to have her share her design process and what inspires her will be impactful.” She hopes students will be able to learn from her and her unique approach to design and research, especially in regard to African

offensive line. “I just didn’t want to let anyone down,” Newell said. The starting line has changed almost every week so far, with the same line starting only two games out of the four Iowa State has played. Newell’s consistency at center has been one of the strong points for an offense still searching for its identity. Newell has drawn praise from other linemen, such as redshirt junior Julian Good-Jones and junior Josh Knipfel. Knipfel said Newell’s communication has been

one of his best traits so far, which will help the offensive line going forward as Big 12 play picks up. It helped Iowa State move the ball against a tough then-No. 5 Oklahoma team in Newell’s first start. “[The rest of the line] was super good with me,” Newell said. “They were helping me out in any way they can. Those guys are nasty and can move people, so that’s always nice to have next to you.” Newell’s next task will be to help the rest of the offense grow like he did.

“I believe Brett Kavanaugh’s a good man. It just may be that in my view he’s not the right man for the court at this time.” - Lisa Murkowski Murkowski, the lone Republican to break from party lines and vote against Kavanaugh’s nomination, also explained her reasoning Friday night. “I believe we’re dealing with issues right now that are bigger than the nominee, and how we ensure fairness and how our legislative and

judicial branch can continue to be respected,” Murkowski said. “This is what I have been wrestling with, and so I made the — took the very difficult vote that I did. I believe Brett Kavanaugh’s a good man. It just may be that in my view he’s not the right man for the court at this time.”

references. “I was really impacted by the ‘Black Panther”’movie myself and her thoughtfulness to integrate historical textile design techniques within costumes that are not seen often within movies, Sanders said. “So the attention to detail and then also pushing historic textiles along with costume design in a postmodern way resulted in new uses of these techniques.” Sanders said in “Black Panther,” Carter’s techniques for the costumes all drew from traditional textiles from Africa. “You have everything from traditional wax prints from West Africa to neoprene type fabrics to 3D printed fabrications all drawing from the essence of traditional textiles from the continent of Africa,” Sanders said. Carter’s visit is sponsored by the department of apparel, events and hospitality management (AESHM); Committee on Lectures (funded by Student Government) and the College of Human Sciences, as part of the Helen LeBaron Hilton Chair Lecture Series.

There will also be a multicultural and international student dinner in the Tearoom. “Our goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive community,” said Debra Sellers, associate dean of Extension and Outreach. “That welcoming place isn’t a geographic place. It’s a sense of feeling and belonging.” On Thursday, there will be a carnival on central campus from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. This event showcases the work of College of Human Science students and allows interaction with the community through music, food and fun. “In previous years we just kept it within the college, but we’re trying to expand and receive more praise,” True said. The Food Science Club will be hosting a demonstration on nitrogen ice cream from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday in MacKay Hall and a lecture on human trafficking from 6:15 to 8:15 p.m. Thursday in LeBaron Hall. On Friday, the week wraps up with Pizza and Packing, which is a philanthropy event from noon to 2 p.m. where students can eat pizza and pack school supplies in LeBaron Hall for elementary students in need. “I plan on supporting all of the events and I certainly consider extension and outreach to be integral to the mission of the college just as research and teaching are integral to the mission,” Sellers said. By hosting all these activities, those within the College of Human Sciences hope to achieve their goals of bringing all of campus to appreciate “the enjoyment and the work that was done and the impact that it has on us on campus, on culture here at Iowa State, but more so on American culture and American society,” True said.

OPINION

Monday, October 8, 2018 Iowa State Daily

COLUMN

It’s important to believe women BY EILEEN.TYRRELL @iowastatedaily.com Welcome to America, where the way we treat sexual assault survivors fluctuates between “You are so brave, and we welcome you with open arms” and “The President of the United States is going to mock you on national television.” I’m not going to explain why what Donald Trump did at his rally last Tuesday was appalling and disgusting because I think we all know that it was. What I will explain, step by step, is why we need to believe Dr. Ford and why we should believe victims when they come forward with similar allegations. To start, using statistics from the Bureau o f J u s t i c e S t a t i s t i c s ’ Na t i on a l C r i m e Victimization Survey, in 2016 only approximately 23 percent of rapes and sexual assaults were reported, which is an extremely low number in comparison with reporting rates for other crimes such as robbery. This will be an important statistic later, but putting that aside, data from the Los Angeles Police Department, FBI and several studies done over the past few decades have statistically shown that approximately 5 percent of of reported rape cases are false, the same approximation given to all other crimes. You are no more likely to be falsely accused of rape than any other crime. So, let’s stop blowing those statistics out of the water, shall we? Next, let’s look at the likelihood that a

person falsely accused of rape will actually face consequences. According to one of the most detailed studies of reported sexual assaults, conducted by the British Home Office in 2005, out of 216 false rape accusations, only six led to an arrest and only two faced charges before the cases were found to be false. Additionally, according to the National Registry of Exonerations, there have been only 52 cases of men being exonerated from rape charges since 1989, in comparison with 790 cases of exoneration for murder charges. In other words, many more murder claims have been found false than rape claims − over 15 times as many. Men, here is my reassurance to you: if you don’t sexually assault someone, you will not be accused of sexual assault. And even if by a stroke of terrible luck you are falsely accused, the chance those accusations will result in consequences is lower than that of most other crimes. Now, let’s go back to the first statistic, only about 40 percent of rapes get reported. If it wasn’t searingly obvious from this past week, our culture makes it very difficult to report rape and receive compassion and respect, let alone justice. Report that a Stanford swimmer raped you behind a dumpster while you were unconscious and he might get three months. Report that a judge sexually assaulted you while you were in high school and he might get appointed to the Supreme Court, while our country’s highest

IOWA STATE DAILY Columnist Eileen Tyrrell argues the importance of believing women who are victims of sexual assault.

leaders mock you on national television. It’s a miracle even 23 percent of women come forward to report their assaults. And it’s completely unbelievable that someone would step forward in front of the whole country and take that burden of judgement, mockery and shame upon themselves just to lie about someone they have a grudge against. Why are men like our president so incredibly concerned about being falsely accused? Why don’t they express the same fear that they will be falsely accused of murder?

Perhaps because they know there are women out there who could make accusations against them, and they fear that if they don’t discredit women as a whole they will, for once in their lives, have to face the consequences of their actions. But as this past weekend has proven, even that isn’t true. It seems that in America, consequences are only for women and people of color. Our Republican leaders don’t just refuse to believe in a women’s story of the most painful moment of her life; they refuse to care.

EDITORIAL

The history behind Columbus Day Today, the federal government celebrates the holiday currently recognized as Columbus Day. The history behind the observance of Columbus Day stretches back to 1792, when the Massachusetts Historical Society in Boston celebrated the 300th anniversary of the discovery of the “New World.” However, it did not become a federal holiday until 1934, where Congress and President Franklin D. Roosevelt set the second Monday in October aside to celebrate it. Now, almost 85 years later, it’s time for us to rethink what and why we celebrate this day. There is certainly no disputing that Christopher Columbus was not the godlike, benevolent figure proclaimed in elementary school history books. However, he was actually rather a ruthless, self-serving social climber who stopped at nothing to advance his ambitions. Historians who deal with the evidence of his brutality are

often decried as politically correct and revisionists by those who cling to the myths of a gilded hero who brought “civilization” to “savages.” The truth, however, is far darker. Columbus had no qualms about becoming a slaver, writing in his logbook “They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance … they would make fine servants … with 50 men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want,” referring to the indigenous populations he encountered. A Catholic priest sent to observe the region that Columbus governed describes “insatiable greed and cruelty,” writing that “[the Spaniards] thought nothing of knifing [American] Indians by tens and twenties and of cutting slices off them to test the sharpness of their blades … my eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write.”

Many cities and other governmental entities now celebrate the second Monday in October as Indigenous People’s Day, including the states of Minnesota, Vermont, Alaska and South Dakota. This year, Iowa can join that list with pride as Gov. Kim Reynolds proclaims today as the State of Iowa’s inaugural Indigenous Peoples Day. We have indubitably made strides toward recognizing the suffering that Native American populations were put through during the discovery of America by not celebrating their oppressors. Until we do away with Columbus Day entirely, though, those efforts will remain incomplete.

New team roles spark Cyclone offense BY TREVOR.HOLBROOK @iowastatedaily.com

Montgomery. Montgomery sustained an injury against Texas Christian University (TCU), and the feature back sat out against Oklahoma State as a result. Iowa State thrived on the ground against the Cowboys. Entering Saturday, the Cyclones averaged 89.3 rushing yards on 29.3 attempts per game. Against Oklahoma State, Purdy and the running backs combined for 140 yards on 38 attempts. Outside of Purdy, Iowa State used a three-man attack. Redshirt sophomore Kene Nwangwu shouldered a heavier load than normal, rushing 10 times for 49 yards. Sheldon Croney Jr. carried the ball four times for 20 yards, including a 12-yard scamper into the end zone. Redshirt freshman Johnnie Lang received three carries, running for six yards. Purdy’s option to hand off the ball or keep it left the Cowboys off-balance during the game. The most notable performance from a running back belongs to Nwangwu. After suffering a knee injury and exercising his medical redshirt last season, Iowa State eased Nwangwu in to start this season. Nwangwu ran five times and returned five kickoffs in the first four games. The 10 carries with a solid average presents a positive sign for Cyclone fans. When Montgomery returns, Nwangwu’s speed figures to compliment him.

The Cyclones found a way to get back in the win column in Stillwater, Oklahoma. With a new quarterback, a new rotation of running backs and a unique game from the defense, there’s a lot to unpack from the 48-42 win over Oklahoma State. Brock Purdy The obvious takeaway from Iowa State’s second win revealed itself on the second Cyclone offensive drive. Redshirt sophomore Zeb Noland played ineffectively on the first drive, taking a sack, dumping off a 7-yard pass to Deshaunte Jones and throwing an incompletion. The next offensive possession, Noland remained on the sideline while freshman Brock Purdy commanded the offense. Purdy’s first drive fizzled out after two Johnnie Lang runs and a run of his own. Coach Matt Campbell elected to stick with Purdy, giving him a second drive. Purdy helped spark a 75-yard drive, capping it off with 21-yard pass to Hakeem Butler. The Cyclones tacked on five more touchdowns and a field goal with Purdy under center. Purdy accounted four passing touchdowns and one rushing score. The true freshman avoided mistakes, limiting himself to one turnover on a slightly underthrown deep pass intended for Matthew Eaton. On the ground, Purdy provided an element Iowa State’s offense missed from last season. Occasionally, former Cyclone Joel Lanning jump-started Iowa State’s offense in 2017 by bulldozing defenders. Kyle Kempt and Zeb Noland lack solid rushing skills, but Purdy showcased his abilities as a runner on Saturday. The leading rusher toted the ball 19 times for 84 yards, averaging 4.4 yards

per carry. It’s worth noting Iowa State’s history with quarterbacks regressing. Purdy won’t sustain his play from Saturday, but his versatility and accuracy showed it can be problematic for defenses. Iowa State’s meeting with West Virginia will

tell a lot about Purdy, with the Mountaineers studying him all week. Cyclones survive without Montgomery Before the Purdy craze, most Cyclone-related thoughts drifted to junior running back David

Despite the points, defense makes plays Iowa State’s defense allowed too many big plays, but the Cyclones also made plays on defense. Iowa State churned out seven sacks and 16 tackles for a loss. The Cyclones forced a fumble and snared an interception, too. Defensive coordinator Jon Heacock mixed in more blitzes than normal, helping deliver more pressure on passing downs. The seven sacks surpassed Iowa State’s season total of six in the first four games.

Late goals lead Cyclones to successful weekend BY STEPHEN.MCDANIEL @iowastatedaily.com Cyclone Hockey played against Alabama on Saturday night in the second of a two game home series. The Cyclones followed up their 4-3 victory Friday night with a 4-2 victory after the Cyclone offense hit a late surge in the third period. The Cyclones and the Crimson Tide played a physical game that, just like the game on Friday, saw both teams battling a tie. “We got tested a number of ways, learned a little bit about ourselves as a team this weekend,” said coach and general manager Jason Fairman. Freshman forward Nick Rogers gave the Cyclones the first lead of the game with 7:07 left in the first. Alabama’s Jacob Nau tied things up, scoring with only a minute remaining in the first period. The 1-1 tie would stick throughout the second period and into the third period. The tie lasted until there was 8:32 left in the game when Alabama’s Nick Messina scored to give them a 2-1 lead. Alabama’s defense contained the Cyclone offense for most of the game, with nothing was able to get past Alabama goalie Patrick Ostermann. It appeared Alabama was about to give the Cyclones their first loss of the season. With only 4:30 left on the clock, freshman forward C.J. Banser broke the silence of the Cyclones offense, tying the game again at 2-2. “Once we scored that second goal, we were pretty upbeat and ready to finish out the game strong,” Banser said, “Obviously, we got a good bounce there at the end, so it worked out in our favor. Let’s hope we can keep it rolling.” Alabama looked to retake the lead with Messina challenging Cyclone goalie Matt Goedeke, but Goedeke successfully stopped Alabama’s attempt at taking the lead.

With 2:44 left on the clock, sophomore forward Dylan Goggin broke the tie with a go-ahead goal, regaining the lead for the Cyclones at 3-2. “It’s good that we had to battle some adversity this weekend,” Goggin said. “It really showed the heart and effort of the team.” Time was running out for Alabama, who found themselves playing from behind. In an attempt to try to tie the game, Alabama pulled Ostermann out of the game, so they could have an additional man to help their offense out. Alabama had the puck in Cyclone territory under a minute left in the game, trying to get late goal to tie the game, but giving up their goalie for an additional man meant that Alabama had

an open net. Senior defenseman Nick Sandy had an opportunity to clear the puck out and took his chance. The puck would find its way past everyone and go all the way down the ice. It found the back of Alabama’s empty net, bringing the game to 4-2 and sealing the victory for the Cyclones. The Cyclone offense managed three goals in the last 4:30 of the game after scoring once through two and a half periods of play. “Good teams find a way to pull out a win,” Fairman said, “It’s cliche, but dig down deep, find a way and we did.” The Cyclones will practice before hitting the road for two games against Lindenwood next weekend.

Where does the reboot trend end? BY ALEXANDER.GRAY @iowastatedaily.com

COURTESY OF STUDENT UNION BOARD Wild Rivers and Whitacre will bring folk tunes to The M-SHOP Wednesday. This performance falls in the second month of their tour.

‘Folk ‘n’ Roll and Country Soul’

BY TANA.GAM-AD @iowastatedaily.com Folk band, Wild Rivers, the “finest purveyors of ‘Folk ‘n Roll and Country Soul’” are making a stop at The Maintenance Shop in the second month of their tour. With over 30 million streams on their Spotify and around 100 performances under their belt, Wild Rivers is quickly rising in the ranks of music. Their show opens 8 p.m. Wednesday and will feature fellow folk-rock band, Whitacre. Wild Rivers was the brainchild of main vocalists, Khalid Yassein and Devan Glover, who met in Kingston, Ontario, back in 2012. The duo released their debut EP, “This Town,” in 2015 but soon expanded and added two more members to form Wild Rivers. The new additions to the band –– natives to Oakville, Ontario –– are Andrew Oliver on guitar and bass, and Ben Labenski, better known as

220 Main

Laferriere, on drums who joined in 2016. The group is currently based in Toronto. Yassein and Glover started with “This Town” before the quartet was formed and garnered attention nationwide and enjoyed national radio airplay which led to the two being voted Toronto’s Best New Artist in the 2015 CBC Searchlight contest. A year later, all four members released their self-titled debut album April 16, 2016, pulling in 27 million streams on Spotify alone. The band released their second EP in late June of this year, entitled “Eighty-Eight.” They are currently joining The Paper Kites on their North American tour who all members of the band have cited as “one of our biggest inspirations” on Twitter. “Eighty-Eight” was recorded in both Ontario and Nashville, inspired by iconic pop artists of the 1970s, from Fleetwood Mac to James Taylor to Neil Young. The EP is a mix of songs that come across as acoustically vulnerable and more upbeat tracks

feature a more pop-y vibe. Through the music in this EP, they successfully highlight the band’s reputation that “makes a powerful connection with listeners.” Singers Yassein and Glover work off of each other’s voices to tell a story through their songs. Their vocals vary with each song, but they always find a way to harmonize through taking opposite sides and switching between docile and more forward singing. The balance is also found between the singers and the rest of the band, as the layered instrumentals match the vocals. Together, the foursome transports listeners to another place in time through dazzling and well textured harmonies and tightly-written, wistful lyrics that elicit a number of emotions from the listener. Tickets for the Wild Rivers concert are $10 for Iowa State students and $12 for the public with a $2 increase on the day of the show. Tickets can be purchased at the M-Shop box office, online via Midwestix.com or through the band’s website.

Personally, I can’t wait to go see the animated remake of the live-action “Beauty and the Beast.” It ’s no trade secret that established names make big bucks in the movie indusALEXANDER try. Why risk GRAY investment in an untested project when you can guarantee return by cashing in on nostalgia? Disney has more than proven how profitable that strategy can be. Audiences have already been exposed to Disney’s remakes of “The Jungle Book,”“Cinderella” and “Pete’s Dragon.” Disney’s first “Star Wars” film, “The Force Awakens,” received criticism for its adherence to familiar story beats found in “A New Hope.” The films reached varying levels of success, but it doesn’t end there. Between now and 2020, expect to see reboots of “Mary Poppins,” “Aladdin,” “Dumbo,”“The Lion King” and “Mulan” hit the silver screen. R e c e n t l y, U S A To d a y reported from a reputable source that Disney is in the process of remaking the animated classic, “Lilo & Stitch.” This rumor seems to indicate this trend is not just a shortterm phase, but potentially the future of cinema. So how will this trend affect creativity? “Lilo & Stitch” isn’t even two decades old, yet a reboot’s been given preference for production. Twenty years from now, will Disney remake “Lilo and Stitch” cash in on the generation that grew up with the live-action reboot? How many versions of versions will audiences be willing to tolerate before they say enough is enough? This doesn’t come entirely from a place of cynical territoriality. It’s always fun to see a familiar, cherished story reimagined and exposed to new audience. And of course Disney is not the be-all and end-all of cinema. Original movies are still being produced; new stories are still being told. It’s just important that moviegoers don’t forget about creativity among the waves of new “Star Wars” movies and “Lilo & Stitch” remakes. We cast our vote with our wallets. Vote for the future you would like to see at the movie theater.
