ALCOHOL Neurologist discusses its effects on mind, body By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com Alcohol has a way of jeopardizing the body while also providing certain health benefits, but drinking too much of it does more harm than good. The social aspects of drinking alcohol come with the territory of a college campus setting. The social phenomenon of drinking is more powerful than the genetics aspect when it comes to alcoholism, said Dr. Selden Spencer, neurologist at McFarland Clinic. “This is the concern for the medical community, is that alcoholism is clearly prime time in the adolescent and young adult age,” Spencer said. Drinking often loosens people up.

The frontal lobes are responsible for the behavioral changes caused by drinking, Spencer said. “It definitely allows people to speak more freely, like liquid courage, it allows people to get out there and be more outgoing,” said Kristin Cardinal, junior in animal science. Alcohol is part of the American culture. A 21st birthday is a right of passage and is highly celebrated amongst young adults, explained Heidi Steckel, junior in apparel, merchandising and design. “You only turn 21 once. Have that be exciting, have that be your day,” Steckel said. Experimenting with the substance is not an unusual college activity, however taking it to a severe level isn’t what the body is suited for, Spencer said.

Survey shows LGBT acceptance
STUDENT ATTITUDES
TOWARD LGBTQ COMMUNITY ACCEPT AND SUPPORT LGBTQ MEMBER
By Greg.Zwiers @iowastatedaily.com The greek community took a survey in the spring 2013 semester about their acceptance of lesbian, gay bisexual, transgender and questioning students, and were presented the results at the Greek Community Safe Chapter Town Hall Meeting on Tuesday. More than half of the greek community had responded to the survey. Thomas Arce, graduate assistant in educational leadership and policy studies, conducted this survey and compiled the data to present to the greek community. Arce works in the Office of Greek Affairs as the diversity liaison. The survey asked questions to gauge the attitudes that students have about LGBTQ individuals, Arce said. Questions on the survey asked about opinions related to LGBTQ students in the greek community. Students were split into groups to discuss the results and brainstorm how LGBTQ awareness could be raised in the greek community. “We want the students in the community to really drive where we go next,” said Katy Cran, assistant director of Greek Affairs. Cran said college is a great time to explore different conversations, and with the increased enrollment and diversity in the greek community, now is a pinnacle time to bring up LGBTQ awareness. The survey found that 19.1 percent of greek chapters said they have a member who identifies as LGBTQ.
When students were asked about their general acceptance of a potential LGBTQ members, more than 80 percent of both fraternities and sororities said they would accept that member. Acceptance of same sex affection or a date at greek social events was accepted by 66.9 percent of the greek community, with 58.1 percent of fraternity members accepting and 75 percent of sorority members accepting. Only 53.78 percent of fraternity members surveyed said they accept same sex relationships between men. “The whole purpose is that we educate the greek community and the chapters themselves,” Arce said. The survey and presentation are part of a program called the Safe Chapter Initiative. Cran said the Greek Community Safe Chapter Town Hall Meeting was advertised to greek community leaders and at all meetings with people in the greek community. “The next step is to spread awareness, so we developed the safe chapter program for chapters that want to be a part of this,” Arce said. The Safe Chapter Initiative is a presentation Arce designed to mirror the Safe Zone 101 training that Brad Freihoefer, director of the LGBT Student Services office, leads for faculty and staff. Two chapters, a fraternity and a sorority, participated in the Safe Chapter Initiative last spring to test its effectiveness, Arce said. What drew Cran’s attention was that 48.2 percent of those surveyed said
they were willing to become more aware of LGBTQ. Because of that result, Cran said the Office of Greek Affairs felt their next step was to address awareness. “We decided that this would be a great opportunity for us to just bring it to the forefront of some conversation within the greek community,” Cran said. In conversations about diversity in the greek community, the conversation about the LGBTQ community was minimal, Cran said. Students suggested adding programs to chapter meetings to make it easier for members to receive the training and having people tell their stories to bring more of an emotional connection to the topic. Mary Horton, member of Kappa Alpha Theta and senior in biology, said she likes the idea of having programs available for students who want to learn more about the LGBTQ community. “I think it’s really important to encourage the conversation because that’s lacking,” Horton said. Horton said she thinks the topic should be talked about as individuals and as a chapter and that having a panel would be really great. Benjamin Peterson, member of Sigma Lambda Beta and senior in early childhood education, said having people who can come to chapter meetings would be more effective than providing a program that students would have to seek out. “When you hear from peers, it’s more impactful,” Peterson said.

B-Positive mascot encourages campus blood donations By Ryan.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com The annual Fall Blood Drive returns this week. The drive occurrs all week, ending 5 p.m. Thursday. People can donate blood from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Great Hall in the Memorial Union. “It’s a good cause and it helps a lot of lives in many ways,” said Laura Lawler, senior in dietetics and one of the directors of the blood drive. This year the blood drive is using a mascot, B-Positive, as a promotion tool. B-Positive has his own Instagram and Twitter account that students can follow to see what he is doing. “We made him an actual volunteer spot this year,” Lawler said. The blood drive is run by student volunteers and any other people in the community who want to volunteer their time. Those who want to volunteer can go to the
ISU blood drive website. Donating blood is purely voluntary. However, there are certain criteria that must be met in order to donate blood. According to the ISU Blood Drive recommendations, a donor who is over 18 years old must be at least 120 pounds. “You can’t donate blood if you were anywhere in Africa or if you had tattoos or piercings within the last 12 months,” Lawler said. If someone has been anywhere that has high levels of malaria he or she is unable to donate, said Chrissy Jones, one of the directors of the blood drive. There are things that can help prevent sickness and fainting during blood donation. “Drink water. It is a really big deal to stay hydrated,” Jones said. From experience, she has noticed that the more water you drink, the faster the process goes.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Rao said more than 30 topics in different facets make a difference to people in both of the countries and strategic partnership between the two countries is not just about security but also about a partnership between the United States as the oldest constitutional republic and India as the world’s largest democracy. Rao said the Unites States understands India’s role in the global pivot to Asia. The United States has indicated support for a permanent seat for India on the United Nations Security Council. “The relations between both the countries have been positive and are on the same side against terrorism,” said Sudhanshu Vyas, doctorate student in computer engineering. Rao said the relationship is founded on “people to people” connections. On the Indian-American community, she said the relationship is based on popular aspirations of both the people and have played an important role in deepening and strengthening it. Rao said India has seen a deceleration in growth in the last year, but she said the fundamentals are still
strong, and India looks forward to resume a healthy growth rate. India has set its focus on inclusive growth to lift millions out of poverty. Rao said challenges for India include modernizing infrastructure and improving agriculture. Higher education is another area of cooperation that can help transform the young population of India into a demographic dividend. India plans to emulate the community college model of the United States with help from counsel of American colleges. Rao said there has been depth and maturity in relations between the two countries in recent years compared to limited cooperation in a few areas 10 years ago. Both countries have made strides in increasing political understanding since then. Rao mentioned energy, trade and security as key cooperations issues. “I am from [the] Bahamas and I am interested in India’s experience as a post-colonial power,” said Peter Deveaux-Isaacs, freshman in political science. “I am also interested in attitudes between people in both the countries.” The event was attended by about 400 people.

Research for heated pavement funded by FAA grant By Lauren.Vigar @iowastatedaily.com A team of researchers from Iowa State has been given a Federal Aviation Administration grant for their research on making snow- and ice-free airport pavements. Halil Ceylan, associate professor in civil, construction and environmental engineering and part of the ISU research team, said that the grant is very prestigious, considering it is from a federal administration. “Hopefully this will be getting our feet in the door; hopefully it will open up more opportunities and more collaboration with the FAA,” Ceylan said. The research is being conducted under the Partnership to Enhance General Aviation Safety, Accessibility and Sustainability, a center of excellence for general aviation. The team at Iowa State is collaborating on this project with a team of researchers from Purdue University. Part of the project is meant to create an innovative pavement coating that will prevent snow and ice from sticking to the pavement. This coating is called a superhydrophobic coating. “The basic problem we are trying to solve is the idea of heating pavements so they don’t have to spend so much on snow
blowing,” said Peter Taylor, associate director for the Institute of Transportation at Iowa State. Ceylan stated that creating and applying overlay along with electrical currents would work well to use on existing pavements, instead of having to tear them apart and work underneath the pavement. Their research will prove if this overlay will work and solve the problem. “The FAA has asked us not to look initially at the runway,” Taylor said. “The issue is where they park the aircraft at the gate.” Safety and sustainability is one of the main goals the team is working toward in this project. Ceylan stated that they submitted their proposal in June. However, Ceylan and a graduate student from Iowa State started working on the project in January 2013. “The full contract only started a month ago,” Taylor said. The start of the contract was when the FAA began releasing funds and giving their approval. There are three subtasks for this project, and Iowa State is working on two of them, Ceylan said. For the past couple of weeks, the team has been collecting research data regarding snow trends at a number of different airports. “We are interested in airports with 45

inches or above of snow,” Ceylan said. The tests will not only take place at large commercial airports, but at smaller airports as well. “They wanted some of them to be commercial airports and others to be basically general aviation airports,” Taylor said. Another part of the project is doing
cost analysis on how much money is spent on de-icing products and snow removal, and what problems airports typically encounter during the winter months. “Which is cheaper? To do what they are doing now or to do the things that we want to do?” Taylor said. The team has a two-year contract with the FAA for the funding of the project.
Business College offers new master of finance program By Mackensie.Moore @iowastatedaily.com The Board of Regents approved a new master’s program for the College of Business in August. This is the first of its kind in Iowa: a new full-time master of finance program. The idea to create a master of finance program came about following discussion between faculty members in the college. The program will allow the College of Business to bring together areas of finance with economics and statistical modeling. “After talking to employers we realized there was an unmet niche that undergraduate students weren’t meeting,” said Travis Sapp, director of the new master of finance program. While most master of business administration programs require students to have prior work experi-
ence before they are admitted, the new master of finance program does not. “We feel like this program is either something an employer needs or they don’t, so they’re not going to be looking for lots of prior general business work experience,” Sapp said. After taking the Graduate Management Admission Test, students admitted into the program will have a 40-credit workload consisting of a variety of finance classes as well as economic classes, such as quantitative methods. While the program can be completed in three semesters, taking extra electives to widen skill sets is encouraged by faculty members. Students are also not required to be business undergraduates for admittance. To be considered though, students need accounting classes, a mathematical background and
a strong incoming grade point average. Sapp said that this program should interest any student, from engineering, math, statistics or even computer science. Sapp also stated that the program applies to students that are looking for an area where they can apply their skills or change careers. “I think this might be a good fit for a lot of students from different areas and different backgrounds,” Sapp said. The process for the master of finance program has been in the works for the past two years. “Employers are demanding a more specialized skill set in the areas of finance,” said Dan Ryan, director of marketing and alumni relations for the College of Business. “In fact, employers have endorsed it whole-heartedly.” Sapp spoke with many
Iowa professionals when he was working on getting the master of finance program approved. He asked them what they thought of the new program and has already received a good amount of positive feedback.
“I think it’s going to be very successful,” Sapp said. “The demand for these focused, targeted programs is very strong and we plan to see that demand here too.” Students with a master of finance degree should
expect to work in the areas of corporate finance, wealth management, financial analysis and risk management. The master of finance program is now accepting applications for the spring and fall 2014 semesters.

Editorial
Spiritual goodness ignored by mega churches Charity over greed, sacrifice over selfishness, humility over vanity, spiritualism over materialism — these are some of the virtues professed by many religions around the world, and they are virtuous indeed. The very idea that there is a loving God above, that we are merely one soul in a sea of other similar and equal souls, suggests that we consider the needs of others over our own desires. Despite the overwhelming goodness preached by all major religions, there is one holy group that seems to defy this conventional wisdom: megachurches. Now to be fair, “megachurch” is a term commonly used to describe places of worship, often of the Protestant faith, with a weekly attendance in excess of 2,000 people. There is nothing inherently perverse or sinful in having a certain number of worshipers, but across the nation, larger and larger churches seem to have gaudier institutions. Additionally, these same churches seem to contain increasingly wealthier preachers. Far be it for anyone else to tell any private organization how it should conduct its business, but the hypocrisy in collecting money from pockets of the devout, merely to spend it on sleek idols, plush decorations and ornate artwork is glaringly obvious. It could be argued that these expenditures are actually justified because people prefer such churches. Such is the gist of Ed Young Jr., pastor of Dallas’ Fellowship Church who mused that megachurches may be “taking people from other churches because [they] have a cooler church.” Divine ego contests aside, Young’s remark belies an understanding that has been growing in recent years: if people don’t like your religion, change your religion. This logic flies in the face of just what a religion has traditionally stood for — namely, tradition and an absolute adherence to faith. The very nature of religious values is that they transcend popular opinions, and will not bend or reshape themselves to gain acceptance. Tossing aside the ingrained morals of one’s religion to gain a large audience is a shameful display for any devout person, let alone for a congregation’s leader. It is almost too obvious to add, but the blatant fact remains that all of the money used to purchase rich decorative pieces, giant TV screens, fancy prayer centers and stylish furnishings could have been spent in a much more “righteous” way. Whether it was used to feed the hungry, comfort the sick, or clothe the poor does not matter. These worthy causes and many more like them are certainly more important than how “cool” a church, synagogue, mosque or temple looks. This line of thinking has been embraced throughout history by many religious factions and is even gaining support in some groups that have historically been more than willing to accumulate wealth in the name of God. For example, Pope Francis, the recently elected leader of the Catholic world, has embraced a more modest approach to leading the masses. Pope Francis has opted to live in a guesthouse of the normal papal residency, and reminded new bishops in Rome that “We pastors must not be men with a princely mindset” this past September. Again, it is not our job to monitor the actions of private organizations. But the hypocrisy of churches or religious leaders who choose not to “practice what they preach” is unsettling. While Pope Francis’s words and the Catholic faith are mere examples in the global mosaic of religions, potential reforms there can serve as examples for others. It would surely be a sermon that megachurches, as bastions of bedazzlement, might want to attend.

George Washington, the first president of the United States, warned that partisianism would lead to great division of the country. What is best for the American people as a whole should be the main concern of the government, not its own goals of gaining more power.
Monkey in the middle, failure of Congress to compromise By Ian.Timberlake @iowastatedaily.com
“F
riends and Fellow Citizens:” began President George Washington in his Farewell Address to the American people, continuing in regards to political party: “I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally. This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy. The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful tyranny. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent tyranny. The disorders and miseries which result gradually
incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.” Michele Bachmann, “queen of the Tea Party,” — the Tea Party being the spearhead of the House Republican’s government shutdown — said: “I don’t get upset about brinksmanship, that’s what negotiation is ... And in negotiation, you usually don’t get anywhere until the final five minutes, and then everybody realizes OK, we’re going to have to break and actually make this thing happen. That’s how negotiation works.” Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren recently was quoted as having said, “Hostage tactics are the last resort for those who can’t otherwise win their fights.” That’s the spirit. As Warren puts it, the “[Affordable Care Act] is the law of the land.” The bill was passed by Congress and signed by the president four years ago and was a major tenet to Obama’s reelection. Over a year ago, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality with the exception that states cannot be forced to take part in the expansion of Obamacare — and this is coming from what most consider to be a right-leaning court.

Contrary to popular belief, we’re one of the most right wing countries in the world, even under Democrat control. Nearly all first world nations have long since implemented a successful universal health care system, Canada being a fine example — all of you “I’m moving to Canada” people after Obama was elected. Washington must be rolling in his grave right now at the state of our government partisanship. While both parties are to blame for partisanship, it can be safely stated from Republicans and Democrats alike that the Republican Party has really hit the bottom of their oil barrel and is solely responsible for a meaningless government shutdown. The people, and thus the government, have spoken: The writing of American law has taken place, and the country has again moved toward the happiness and liberty it always seeks. Congress is playing monkey-in-the-middle with its citizens, and as President Washington put it, “the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.”

fans: “This bill is now a law vetted by the very system all these Republicans profess to love but to hear the Republicans tell it, the whole thing could be avoided if President Obama would just meet them halfway.” The Republican Party is demanding compromise, negotiate, compromise — for something that has already been approved due process! Twenty-six Republicandominated states are not participating in the Obamacare expansion the Supreme Court exempted — most of which are home to a nonmarginally large portion of the nation’s most poor and uninsured citizens. Harvard researchers have shown that 62 percent of all personal bankruptcies filed in 2007 were due to medical problems. At least 78 percent of those who filed had health insurance at the start of their treatment and 60.3 percent were privately covered. Medical-related bankruptcies have been inclining for decades. Most of these people were college graduates and owned their own homes. From all these facts combined, that’s a majority of America in need of better health coverage. In the mean time, nearly three million government employees, including military servicemen, will still receive pay, though it might be delayed. And 800,000 other government employees have yet to know if they will be reimbursed due to the government shutdown. Not to mention the fact that hundreds of cancer patients are being turned away from the National Institute of Health,
Communication is everything. From the moment we are brought into this world, we are striving to communicate with our fellow human beings in deeper, more complex ways. Language is one of the most fundamental connections people can have with one another; two international students from the same province in China will become overjoyed at meeting another Mandarin speaker on a new campus in an unfamiliar country, even if they have nothing else in common. When the English settled in North America, the natives were slowly pushed off of their land, consolidated like a pest until they were contained in reservations to which the American government
turned a blind eye. There they struggled to adapt to a rapidly changing nation in which their languages were no longer spoken or understood. Faced with a choice of adaptation and survival or resistance and defeat, American Indian tribes all over the nation began to teach their next generations to speak English. Because this new language was a necessity of survival, the speaking of their traditional tongues began to diminish in frequency; in every consecutive generation, fewer and fewer natives were fluent in their mother tongues. Now that our nation is so culturally diverse, we often encounter several languages on a daily basis; you might pass someone on the sidewalk who is talking on the phone in Mandarin or hear someone Facetiming her Colombian parents in Spanish. Because lingual diversity is being accepted more readily nowadays, many native tribes of North America have resolved to resurrect their nearly extinct traditional languages. One such resurrection is spearheaded by a Mutsun woman by the name of
Quirina Luna; she is fighting to breathe new life into the language of her ancestors. As one of the world’s only Mutsun speakers, she feels it is her duty to teach her children so that they may hold on to part of their cultural heritage. Luna has teamed up with experts at the University of California Berkeley to compile information from old anthropological field notes, stories and songs of the Mutsun tribe; with these scraps of her heritage she is piecing together her native tongue. Teaching young American Indians to speak the languages of their forefathers is vital to preserving their dying culture. As a member of the Cherokee tribe, I am determined to learn some of the traditional language, and in turn teach my children when it’s time. The colonization of America took almost everything away from the native Americans; land, freedom, and pride. But if each tribe in the U.S. makes an effort to piece together their native tongues, future generations will have at least one part of their heritage of which to be proud.

Ryan Young/Iowa State Daily
Crystal Nelson leads the pack during practice on Tuesday at the ISU cross-country course. Nelson is hoping to go the Big 12 Championships again this year after finishing eighth last year.
Nelson races to continue growth at Iowa State By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com When Crystal Nelson started looking at what colleges she wanted to attend, Iowa State was never in the picture. Nelson didn’t even want to leave the East Coast, but when former coach Corey Ihmels convinced her to schedule a visit, everything changed. “I got a recruiting letter in the mail, but I never thought anything of it. I’d never considered going to the Midwest from the East Coast,” Nelson said. “But I talked to the coaches, and they really hooked me into the campus. Once I came I fell in love. It was an easy decision after that.” Nelson, who came to Iowa State from Winchester, Va., was a three-time high school state champion in the 1,600-meter run, and both the indoor and outdoor 3,200-meter runs. “It meant a lot back in high school. It gave me a lot of confidence when I started looking into colleges,” Nelson said of her high school success. “I felt like I accomplished a lot, and it made me really excited to come into college and see what I could do with a bigger field of runners.” Nelson jumped into the program with full force. She was named to the AllBig 12 team for cross-country after her first season. Nelson also finished eighth
at the Big 12 Championships and 24th at the Roy Griak Invitational that year. “Crystal had already accomplished great things in high school, so we were really hoping that she would make a great impact right away,” ISU team captain Sam Bluske said. “We really weren’t surprised she did so well. She had already proven that she was talented, she just had to make the transition into college.” Nelson’s first year performance didn’t just impress her teammates and coaches. It surprised her, too. “I didn’t think I would start doing anything until my last two years, because that’s how it was in high school. I didn’t expect that much,” Nelson said. “At first I started making all of these expectations for myself, so I would hold up to those titles. But then I realized that I just need to do what I can to help the team. It doesn’t matter what people think, I just need to do what I’m capable of doing.” But then, Nelson was blindsided. One afternoon, she received a call from a teammate asking if she had heard the news. “I got a call from a teammate, and she broke the news to me that Coach Ihmels had left,” Nelson said. “I was in shock. I couldn’t believe it.” Leaving Iowa State because of Ihmels’ departure was never an option
for Nelson. She remembered receiving an email from ISU Athletic Director Jamie Pollard assuring the team that he would get the best coach available for the team. That, and the support of her teammates, kept the team together. “After that, our team told each other that we’re all just going to commit to Iowa State,” Nelson said. “We knew that if we all stayed together, nothing would change. As long as we have each other, we’d be fine.” Then Andrea Grove-McDonough was hired as the new coach of the women’s cross-country program. The runners didn’t know what to expect coming in, but Nelson said the transition was very easy, and they have already built a great relationship with their new coach. “Working with a new coach is not easy to do, but I think Crystal and I already have [a] really good relationship,” Grove-McDonough said. “I think we trust each other and are already on the same page. It doesn’t feel that I’ve only coached her for a few weeks; it feels like I’ve been doing it for a long time.” Last week, Nelson competed in her first race of the season and finished third overall at the Griak, leading the No. 28 Cyclones to a fifth-place finish at one of the largest meets of the season.
“We tried to go in really understated about the meet, as usual. We didn’t want Crystal to feel any pressure going in,” Grove-McDonough said. “As a coaching staff, we felt really confident about her. We encouraged her to run with the lead pack, and thought she could be in the top-five, and she did it.” Nelson was leading the pack by the 4-kilometer mark of the race, something that may have surprised everyone. Nelson couldn’t hold on to the lead, and came in at a very close third-place finish. Even though Nelson didn’t win the race, her teammates still noted how much she has improved in just one year. “It was so exciting to see her just take control of the race the way she did,” said ISU captain Maggie Gannon. “She is a totally different runner from last year. There is no question about it.” Some may be looking ahead in Nelson’s career, trying to predict what she will accomplish while at Iowa State. However, Grove-McDonough is staying relaxed, and knows she has something special. “I don’t know where she will get to, but that’s exciting,” Grove-McDonough said of Nelson. “She is starting to be a real believer, and starting to become one of the best in NCAA. It’s an exciting time to be Crystal Nelson.”
ISU preps for Texas Tech offense Volleyball looks to beat Kansas State at home
Red Raiders bring strong weapons to Big 12 matchup
By Maddy.Arnold @iowastatedaily.com
By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com When Iowa State travels to Texas Tech on Saturday, it will face a team averaging 41.8 points per game this season and an offense with several different weapons. In the Red Raiders’ 5-0 start, all of their wins have come by double digits, including a 54-16 blowout against Kansas on Saturday. ISU coach Paul Rhoads remembers seeing Texas Tech tight end Jace Amaro being particularly vocal on the sidelines. “The announcers recognized Saturday that he wasn’t getting the ball and he let the people on the sideline know. The next thing you know they’re throwing it to him about every snap and he was catching it and moving the team down the field,” Rhoads said of Amaro’s performance against Kansas. “That’s a guy that obviously wants the ball and wants to create and that’s what he’s doing for them. Defenders bounce off him.” Through five games this season, Amaro tallied 38 receptions for 463 yards and one touchdown. Against Kansas alone, Amaro amassed nine receptions for 96 yards. At 6 feet 5 inches and 260 pounds, he has been a constant target for true-freshman walk-on quarterback Baker Mayfield. It is still undetermined, however, if Mayfield will take the field against Iowa State on Saturday after suffering a leg injury against Kansas near the end of the third quarter.
Iowa State Daily
Cyclones tackle a Red Raiders player during their loss against Texas Tech on Sept. 29, 2012, at Jack Trice Stadium. The Cyclones were unable to stop Texas Tech’s momentum and lost 24-13.
Sophomore Michael Brewer could get the start, and run the Red Raiders’ offense without missing a beat in Rhoads’ mind, but the job Mayfield has been able to do in five games has caught his attention. “He’s done it against good folks and he’s done it consistently. He reflects his head football coach in his poise and calmness,” Rhoads said of Mayfield’s success thus far. “[He] has not been tilted by the fact that he’s thrown into this limelight and the stories that are written that go along with a guy that’s paying for his education. He’s done a marvelous job.” Already this season, Mayfield passed for 1,488 yards, eight touchdowns and five interceptions with more than 200 pass attempts. What ISU defensive tackle David Irving has noticed about the Texas Tech offense is how quickly the ball comes out of the quarterback’s hands. “We might not have a lot
of opportunities for sacks, but if anything, I’m going to get my hands up and hopefully deflect some balls or at least throw over me and disrupt the pass a little bit,” Irving said. Against Kansas, Mayfield led the Texas Tech offense to 518 total yards with 369 of that coming through the air. The Red Raiders have three receivers this season with more than 300 receiving yards and a combined five touchdowns. The ability Texas Tech has in being able to turn to Amaro, senior Eric Ward, or sophomore Jakeem Grant is something that has become apparent to the ISU defense with the new coaching staff for the Red Raiders. “You see Amaro, he’s a tight end, but he’s really a slot receiver. He’s a really big, aggressive dude,” said ISU defensive back Deon Broomfield. “The other receiver, I think it’s Ward, he’s really good. They’re a great team offensively and defensively.”
After 68 straight weeks of being ranked, Iowa State fell out of the top-25 this week after a close loss to Oklahoma on Saturday Oct. 5. Iowa State hopes to rebound against Kansas State on Wednesday Oct. 9. Following a 3-2 loss in Norman, Okla. during the weekend, the ISU volleyball team (8-5, 2-1 Big 12) will return to Ames to play only its fourth home match this season. ISU coach Christy JohnsonLynch wants her players to focus on their own skills rather than their opponents’ while preparing for Kansas Sate. “A big part of the game is about what you can control and your side of the net,” said junior right side hitter Mackenzie Bigbee. “We had some rough patches so it’s what we didn’t do. We didn’t execute. If we can just get everyone mentally focused it’ll be a lot easier.” In Oklahoma’s win last weekend, Iowa State’s losses in the third and fifth sets were by five combined points. Johnson-Lynch called the close loss disappointing but said the Cyclones had some execution errors. During the match, Iowa State allowed Oklahoma to hit .254 against its defense. This season, the Cyclones have struggled with blocking and are currently last in the Big 12 in blocks per set. “I feel better and better about our defense,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We’ve just got room for improvement. I think some of it’s mental, blocking. And some of it’s technical and we’re trying to address it in practice as much as we can without freaking out about it too much.” Iowa State’s focus this week will be on improving its own skills like blocking and execution rather than preparing specifically for Kansas State.
The set up ■■ Iowa State will play Kansas State on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at Hilton Coliseum. ■■ Kansas State is 13-3 this season and 1-2 in the Big 12 while Iowa State is 8-5 and 2-1 in conference play. ■■ Iowa State is 45-35 all time against Kansas State. ■■ Last year, the Cyclones and Wildcats split their two regular-season meetings. ■■ Kansas State is coming off a 3-1 win against Texas Christian last weekend. Before that win, the Wildcats had a three-match losing streak.
Johnson-Lynch said she feels the most recent loss depended mostly on Iowa State’s play rather then how its opponent played. “I don’t know that [Kansas State does] anything very different from any of the other teams we’ve seen. I think it will continue to be about us,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Even against Oklahoma there were some adjustments to be made but largely it was up to us I felt like...I think the same will be true this week.” Kansas State is currently second in the Big 12 in blocking with 2.76 per set. K-State middle blocker Taylor Johnson alone averages 1.31 blocks per set. So far this season, the Wildcats have held their opponents to a .166 hit percentage. Despite Kansas State’s defense, freshman setter Jenelle Hudson believes Iowa State can bounce back from its loss at Oklahoma. “Minor setback. Major comeback,” Hudson said. “You’ve just got to go with it. I think our momentum will be fine. It was a hard loss but we fought after it at the end of the game. “Hopefully we’ll get that momentum going against K-State.”

Both divers have goals of making it to the NCAA diving championship, and being there with a friend and teammate would make it that much sweeter. “If we can get two divers to the NCAA Championships that would be fantastic,” Warrick said.

Sophomore Elyse Brouillette made a huge splash on the diving team last season. As a freshman, she posted top-10 scores in school history on all three boards and was named Iowa State’s Most Valuable Diver and Newcomer of the Year. She also earned AllBig 12 honors in the 1-meter and platform events and was the only ISU diver to compete in NCAA Zone “D” Championship, the qualifying meet for the NCAA Championships. “She came from a strong program and I knew she was coming in ready,” said ISU coach Jeff Warrick. “She did an excellent job for us all season long.” With all the success Brouillette had last season, it’s easy to overlook fellow ISU diver Jessica Henderson, a senior and
two-time captain who was forced to sit out much of her junior year after suffering a concussion. As a sophomore, Henderson competed in the NCAA Zone competition and qualified for the competition again as a junior before the injury cut her season short. “My junior year just kind of disappeared into thin air, but I’m ready to come back, and I think it gave me more fire for this year to beat [Elyse] out for that first position,” Henderson said. At the team’s intrasquad meet on Friday, Henderson won the 1-meter event ahead of Brouillette and the rest of the ISU divers. Henderson also won the 3-meter, which Brouillette sat out due to a shoulder injury with which she has been dealing. The two divers have developed a friendly rivalry with one another, constantly trying to one up each other’s scores. “It’s a good battle,” Brouillette said. “We like to push each other and

Pancakes do not have to be simple and plain. It’s simple to make johnnycakes more interesting by adding an extra taste like berries or sprinkles. You can also make hot cakes with bananas.
By Amy Kreber AmesEats Flavors Writer
Today is the day to trade in your boring, old flapjacks for something new and exciting. A simple way make pancakes more exciting is to add fruits such as blueberries or raspberries to the pancakes prior to flipping. For the bacon lovers out there, bacon crumbles can also be added to the pancake right before flipping for a new alternative.
Funfetti cake mix isn’t just for cupcakes anymore. These pancakes can even be topped with melting frosting to change up breakfast even more.
Directions:
Banana Pancakes
Heat griddle or skillet with butter at 375°F. In medium bowl, stir together ingredients until blended. Pour batter onto the skillet and cook until edges are dry. Turn; cook until pancakes are golden brown
Cake Batter Pancakes
Pancakes not fitting into your healthy-eating routine? No need to give up on pancakes by making the following recipe that is gluten free and paleo friendly. To increase the protein of these pancakes add a tablespoon of protein powder.
Ingredients: * 3 bananas * 5 eggs * Dash of Cinnamon * Dash of Nutmeg
Ingredients: * 1 cup pancake mix * 1 cup Funfetti * 1 cup milk * 1 teaspoon vanilla * 2 eggs
Directions: Mix the ingredients together. Melt butter on a griddle or skillet at 375°F. Spoon out a round pancake in heated pan over medium heat. Let brown on one side, flip to the other side and brown.

>>MINORS p1 friends who propositioned him. “They reached out to me,” Alec said. “I was fine with it. I just went and bought it and brought it over to wherever they were. I didn’t really think anything of it.” Both times Alec said he went to a small liquor store close to his house and bought a case of beer for his friends. He also said that he would not provide for someone he did not previously know because the risk of getting caught is too high. “I wouldn’t reach out to anyone. I wouldn’t be the person to do that, but if someone needed a favor I would probably be okay with it,” he said. Alec said he knows someone who was found providing to underage people at a bar, but said “it wasn’t too hefty of a consequence.” Diana Wegner, 28-year-old junior in pre-integrated studio arts, said she feels very differently about providing alcohol to underage people and her involvement in the restaurant business has helped influence

her opinion. “I do think it’s a bad idea to give it to minors in general because it’s unhealthy,” Wegner said. “They need to be safe; they need to understand boundaries.” Wegner, who works at a bar in Des Moines, said she has never provided alcohol illegally. “In my bar, I have had people come in in a big group where I’ve ID’d everybody, and I notice there will be an instance where one person in the party will be 21 and everyone else won’t be, and they’ll try and order like three beers at a time,” Wegner said. For Wegner, the risks of getting caught are among her reasons for not providing alcohol to underage people. “I need money. I need to be in school, and restaurants provide the best way for me to make enough money to work and stay in school. I could go to jail,” Wegner said. “I’ve been around that environment that’s very strict. I’ve always just taken it seriously. It’s not something I’m willing to risk because I know of

the potential consequences.” However, unlike ISU students who provide for close friends or have close friends as providers, Wegner said she would not consider providing for a friend or family member. “In my own home if I had a 20-year-old cousin I would ask my aunt or uncle — if I had a type of wine — would you mind if I let them try it just so they can understand wine is enjoyed,” Wegner said. “It’s not consumed to get drunk.” Another of Wegner’s reasons for believing underage people should not be provided with alcohol is because she believes alcohol may be abused. “I think that part of being a responsible parent and a responsible adult around teens is allowing children to understand that alcohol consumption is acceptable as long as it’s controlled and treated in a responsible manner,” Wegner said. To reduce illegal alcohol consumption, the Ames Police Department will be conducting similar investigations throughout the academic year.

>>ALCOHOL p1 “Chronic liver failure related to alcohol is the premiere problem,” Spencer said. The liver is the organ in the body that processes alcohol throughout the body. However, the liver is not the only system in the body that alcohol affects. “It is an inhibitory agent in many respects in that the frontal lobes, which are your main stop agent, are not going to function as well as they usually do, so you are disinhibited,” Spencer said. Alcohol has the ability to shut down the body’s organ systems and cause short and long term effects. A short-term effect of drinking an excessive amount of alcohol is blacking out.

“The black-out is created by turning off the brain stem nuclei that are key for keeping you awake,” Spencer said. Spencer also said that blacking out should not give permanent residual damage to the brain. The chronic effects of drinking alcohol are that it can increase heart rates and raise respiratory rates. “Once or twice a year at any university, you are going to hear about near death related to [those symptoms],” Spencer said. Spencer compared blood alcohol levels with the level a blow to the head would be harmful to someone. Each person has a different level of tolerance for alcohol entering the body.
