Welch reconstruction plans

City looks to revamp Campustown BY DEVYN.LEESON @iowastatedaily.com Welch Avenue serves as a passageway for students making their way to-and-from class by day and as a hotspot of student activity by night, but the most popular section — the 100 block between Lincoln Way and Chamberlain Avenue — is more than a century old and in need of repair.

This problem is one that prompted city council to budget for reconstruction in the area, providing the opportunity to not just restore the section but renovate it. As desires for accessibility, parking spaces, convenience and bike paths can sometimes be at odds, the city, along with community planning groups, conducted a study to help plan the future of

Sen. Cory Booker endorses Iowa congressional candidate in Boone BY ELI.HARRIS @iowastatedaily.com From urban D.C. to rural Iowa, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker came to Boone to discuss issues facing farmers and show his support for J.D. Scholten. Scholten is the Democratic candidate running against Steve King, the eight-time incumbent for Iowa’s Fourth Congressional District. The Boone County Democrats welcomed Booker as a special guest Monday afternoon for an agricultural roundtable event and to voice his

support for Scholten. Booker and Scholten were both received by applause and a standing ovation in a room filled to standing capacity. “Farmers are getting squeezed in

the middle,” Booker said. Booker said he has visited several Midwest states and seen that farmers were hurting. He decided to make a bill intending to aid agricultural communities.

The bill Booker recently introduced to the Senate that put an 18-month moratorium on certain agricultural business mergers and acquisitions. Under the proposed legislation, any qualifying company worth $160 million or more would be prohibited from merging or acquiring another company worth $16 million. “40 percent of Iowans are income insecure,” Booker said, pointing to large corporations and saying they are hurting the lower income earning of Americans including rural farmers. “The benefits of low commodity prices are not being passed on to

American consumers,” Booker said. “The gap between what shoppers pay for food and what farmers are paid is growing wider.” The audience was receptive to the message and punctuated each point with a cheer. Booker promised that if they elected Scholten, he would work hard for them. Although Booker did blame some for attacking Iowa farmers and their livelihoods, his ultimate message to the crowd was that helping America’s farmers is a bipartisan issue. “This is not right or left, it’s right or wrong,” Booker said.

CALS career fair to prep students for future

IOWA STATE DAILY

BY KATIE.BRINKMAN @iowastatedaily.com The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) is hosting its career fair from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday at the Lied Recreation Center. “There are 275 companies coming to this career fair,” said Mike Gaul, director of agriculture and life sciences career services. “This is our second largest career fair ever, and I’m super thrilled.” The CALS career fair remains the largest career fair in the country. Gaul said he believes the quality and professionalism of students and the programs they’re involved with are the reason behind this success. Iowa State’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has the “third largest undergraduate student body among agricultural colleges in the nation,” according to a press release. Placement for undergraduates in CALS hit a record 99.2 percent, and it has been 97 percent or higher for 20 consecutive years, according to the press release. Gaul also had some tips for students attending the career fair. A student needs to confidently sell themselves to companies by mastering their 60 second elevator speech, and when offered an interview, students need to capitalize on those opportunities, Gaul said. “Students need to do their homework before attending the career fair,” Gaul said. “ They should know what they ’re looking for in a company and know a little bit about the companies they plan to talk to.”

Urban Ecosystems: Project furthers science education

BY LAUREL.GLYNN @iowastatedaily.com Faculty in Iowa State’s College of Human Sciences are doing more to create hands on experiences for their students through the Urban Ecosystems project. This project was created in 2015 by Katherine Richardson Bruna, Iowa State University’s multicultural teaching educator, and Lyric Bartholomay, University of Wisconsin-Madison’s entomologist, to give undergraduate students studying elementary education an opportunity to better the science education of underserved youth in Des Moines. Bruna said there are three goals for this project. The first is to “empower these socioeconomically stressed kids. Many of them feel that they could be a scientific resource for their teachers and students, which is super affirming.” Bruna said the second goal of the program is to help prepare future elementary educators to teach science. “The elementary education program does

not teach enough science, and we want to prepare our students by enhancing science education for these kids,” Bruna said. The third goal is to teach members of the community accurate information about mosquitoes, according to the College of Human Sciences. Bruna stressed the importance of awareness in urban settings, as public outreach often fails to serve them. “We give students the knowledge and skills for this public outreach,” Bruna said. “The aim is to elevate educational opportunity and advancement in communities that have been left behind by the educational system.” Jayde Gartner, senior in elementary education, was one of these students last year, and her hard work and enthusiasm drove her to work more closely with Bruna as an undergraduate research assistant. Gartner even earned a paid position working with students in the three week “Mosquitoes and Me” summer camp. “This is everything I wanted to do with my teaching degree,” Gartner said. Despite her distaste for mosquitoes, her

passion for the project matches Bruna’s. “I’m dedicated to understanding my personal issues so as not to hinder students’ growth,” Gartner said. Bruna said she suspects the project gained so much traction over the past four years because of children’s genuine curiosity about the natural world. “We want to capitalize on that wonder and allow these students to acquire experience using authentic science tools to help answer questions.” Bruna said. “Every question is considered valid and anything that can help answer these questions is considered a science tool, even a conversation. Students feel seen.” The elementary students are not the only ones reaping benefits from this program. Gartner was audibly emotional as she recalled an instance in which a student in the program confidently shared her data with a professional entomologist. “The Urban Ecosystems Project is my heart and soul,” Gartner said. “Working so closely with Dr. Bruna and the youth has been such an amazing experience.”

Early and absentee voting begins for midterms BY NATHAN.CIRIAN @iowastatedaily.com Absentee voting and early voting began Monday, drawing near the first major date in the election process until the midterm election on Nov. 6. As election day is just under a month away, organizations, campaigns and even brands are urging people to register and get out the vote. On campus, Student Government is working to help students successfully vote on election day. They are hosting an early voting event with same day registration on Oct. 22 to 26 in the Pride Veteran’s Lounge in the Memorial Union. Student Government Civil Engagement Chair Caroline Warmuth stressed the importance of not only getting people registered to vote but to actually get them to the polls. “We can get people to register all we want but getting them to the polls is just as important,” Warmuth said. She said out-of-state students intending to vote in their home state’s elections should be informed about their own

processes. “What’s really important is that they need to know their own state’s rules and dates,” Warmuth said. Student Government only has ballots for the state of Iowa, so to obtain ballots from your home state you will have to follow that state’s own absentee laws. Warmuth also recommended vote411.org as a “good and neutral” tool for voter information. The website gives personalized voting information based on your address. Iowa Secretary of State, Paul Pate, also urged Iowans to be ready to vote in a media release Friday. “Iowa has no-excuse absentee voting, which means every eligible Iowan can vote by mail, in-person at your county auditor’s office, at a satellite voting location, or at the polls on Election Day,” Pate said in the press release. He also recommended early voting and told voters “part of being voter ready means having a plan on how and when you’re going to cast your ballot.” Absentee voter forms must be at your local county auditor’s office by 5 p.m. Nov. 5.

Other voting tips include making sure you are registered to vote at your current address. If you plan to vote in elections outside of Iowa, make sure you abide by the dates and rules of your home state. More voter registration events will be hosted throughout the school year by different student organizations. Future coverage will be available on the Iowa State Daily’s website.

VOTING DATES & DEADLINES Other major dates include Oct. 27 when the deadline to pre-register hits as well as the last day to request an absentee ballot. Registration on this date can still occur on election day in person. Nov. 5 is the last day to vote with an absentee ballot in person at your local county auditor’s office. The Story County Auditor’s office is located in the City of Nevada. Nov. 6 is Election Day where polls will open at 7 a.m. and close at 9 p.m.

FACES OF THE MARKET BY BRITTANI.GREGORICH @iowastatedaily.com The Ames Main Street Farmers’ Market was held from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday in downtown Ames. The market’s last day of the season will be Oct. 27th. Read about the vendors experiences below.

Elaine Huls Company: Meow Acres What do you sell? Produce and jellies How long have you being doing this for? 10 years What is your favorite part of what you do? It depends on the day. When it is 100 degrees, I would rather be in the house playing with the jelly then outside in the garden. What is one thing you would like to see in the future for the farmers’ market? This is a great market. We have done other markets, and this one has nice people and nice vendors. It is just a great market. Kira Standfest Company: Heartland Herbals What do you sell? Herbal salves and body care products How long have you being doing this for? This is my first year at the market, but I have been making it for about a year now. What is your favorite part of what you do? I love to be able to meet the people and talk to customers and potential customers. What is one thing you would like to see in the future for the farmers’ market? Nothing I can think of, it is a really great time here. Ashley Recknor Comapny: Purple Ribbon Beef What do you sell? A high quality beef product that is corn fed with no added hormones. We have beef sticks, summer sausage, ground beef, burgers and more. If there is any beef product you want we have it. How long have you being doing this for? This is our third year at market, but we have been raising cattle my entire life. We are in the fourth generation of having cattle. What is your favorite part of what you do? I really like being able to talk to the consumer from this standpoint at the market. Whether that be the opportunity to

Vendors share about their businesses educate them, how to cook it or why we do what we do. What is one thing you would like to see in the future for the farmers’ market? I think the Ames Farmers’ Market has done a really great job of hosting it and putting it on. It is great that it is a family event. I don’t think there is one particular thing, but maybe just seeing more people come out. Valerie Williams Company: Daily Dish Pottery What do you sell? I sell functional and pretty pottery. Pottery you can use everyday. How long have you being doing this for? I have been selling at the farmers’ market for two years. What is your favorite part of what you do? I love to make and form bowls. What is one thing you would like to see in the future for the farmers’ market? It would probably be nice to have an attraction every week, like the one time we had pony rides. It could bring more people out here. Shelley Jaspering Company: Just Sitting Around Making Headbands What do you sell? I sew things like headbands and bandanas mostly. How long have you being doing this for? I have been sewing for 10 years, but I have only been doing the market for the last couple years. What is your favorite part of what you do? The dogs that I get to see here. What is one thing you would like to see in the future for the farmers’ market? More vendors will bring more people, so maybe just more variety. Tom Wilson Company: Remnant Hills Farm What do you sell? We raise pastured-based livestock. We have lamb, pork, eggs and more. We raise everything on the farm. How long have you being doing this for? We raise pastured-based livestock. We have lamb, pork, eggs and more. We raise everything on the farm.

How long have you being doing this for? We started in the winter of 2014 and then market season of 2015 was our first time here. What is your favorite part of what you do? It is always nice during the market season to talk to the customers. It is nice to have those conversations with customers to see what they like. What is one thing you would like to see in the future for the farmers’ market? I think I would like to see a refocus on the actual farmers and producers. It has been more focused on the entertainment part of the market, which kind of hurts the overall goal. Charlyn Mason Company: The Sweet Shoppe of Ames What do you sell? At the farmers’ market we always sell cupcakes and take specialty orders. How long have you being doing this for? We have been at the market for almost six years. What is your favorite part of what you do? I am a kindergarten teacher, so this is a whole different area for me, and I like that. My first week here I went home and I noticed my face hurt so much from smiling. What is one thing you would like to see in the future for the farmers’ market? I still think that some people still just do not know about it. This year definitely has not had as many people come as usual. Mark Bowers and Diane Johnson Company: Barrelly Conscious What do you sell? W ine barrel furniture, rocks and jewelry. How long have you being doing this for? We have been making it for five years, and we have been involved at the Ames market for four

years. What is your favorite part of what you do? The people because it really creates a nice atmosphere down here. It makes it really fun and we get to meet people from all over the world. What is one thing you would like to see in the future for the farmers’ market? It would be nice to see it grow larger and get more vendors involved. We could use more of Main Street to have more booths, and that may bring more people. DAVID BOSCHWITZ/ IOWA STATE DAILY

Faculty Senate to discuss CALS major name changes BY KAITLYN.HOOD @iowastatedaily.com

JORDYN DUBOIS/ IOWA STATE DAILY The Faculty Senate will discuss changes to the CALS current curriculum.

Name changes to current curriculum, proposing a new minor and addressing campus climate are subjects Faculty Senate will discuss at their monthly meeting at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Memorial Union. Faculty Senate will continue to discuss the name change of the agricultural biochemistry major in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS). The proposed name change from agricultural biochemistry to biochemistry stemmed from a want to better describe the major for students looking to study the subject. This major is ver y similar to the

biochemistry major from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences but is geared toward students who want a more diverse experience of biochemistry. A second proposed name change also comes from CALS with the change of the industrial technology major and minor to applied engineering and technology management major and minor. Similar to the first proposed renaming, the goal with this updated terminology is to better describe the area of study. CALS is also introducing a new minor, feed technology. This minor would allow students to learn about the critical components of this rapidly growing industry in Iowa’s economy and put them to use in many different settings.

OPINION

Tuesday, October 9, 2018 Iowa State Daily

COLUMN

Columnist Peyton Spanbauer argues that all colleges at Iowa State deserve the benefits that are currently only offered to agriculture, business and engineering majors.

IOWA STATE DAILY

Treat every major equally BY PEYTON.SPANBAUER @iowastatedaily.com “What’s your major?” is one of my least favorite questions. Although I am proud of and love both of my majors, I hate telling people what I’m studying. When I do answer people, the information is usually received with smirks, puzzled looks and problematic responses such as, “you must hate men,” and “yikes, a liberal.” As a journalism and women’s & gender studies double major at Iowa State, I am largely forgotten about on a campus dominated by engineering, business and agriculture majors. Both of my majors require me to do an incredible amount of writing, which means I have to print textual readings and drafts of

essays all the time. However, even with my two majors, I am only allotted 500 printing credits per semester. On the other hand, engineering and business majors are given 2,000 credits, most of which I’ve been told by friends within those programs, go unused. As a journalism major, I need a 400 hour internship and with women’s and gender studies, I need a 120 hour one in order to graduate. The career services that Iowa State offers me is nothing compared to that of engineering majors. As an liberal arts and sciences student, I am stuck with the People to People career fair, along with design and human sciences students while agriculture, business and engineering students have their own separate career fairs. Due to the lack of companies relating to

my fi elds of study at the People to People career fair, I am left making Google searches and mailing in applications, while other majors have their own career fairs that bring in hundreds of local and national companies. Moreover, the College of Engineering requires the companies who come to the career fair to provide paid internships to fulfill their students’ internship requirements. This is a huge advantage for such students who, unlike me, will not have to fight with the fi nances of choosing between valuable internship experience and a summer job. These inequalities among the colleges and degree programs on campus lead to an almost class-system structure amongst students. Those who are pursuing the “hard sciences” are advantaged over students who are not. In the long run, this impacts students who need

better academic resources and career help. The difference of getting a paid internship or a non-paid internship has pretty much determined what opportunities I am able to pursue and add to my resume. Th is can further impact the jobs that are available to me post-college. Not to say that engineering, business and agriculture students don’t deserve these benefits, but it would be nice to see them equally accessible to all students. Yes, donors will continue to support colleges and funds at their own discretion. However, it seems unjustifiable that we allow such vast inequalities between degree programs. The university needs to do better in making sure all students are equally supported, despite their academic program of choice.

EDITORIAL

Watch for signs of domestic violence There’s a common, yet dangerous, question often extended to victims of domestic violence: Why don’t you just leave? And the answer is complex. For some victims, they may not even realize they are being abused or that their relationship is unhealthy. Others may understand the abuse but cannot leave because they are scared of being outed by their partner or ashamed of the stigma that comes with being abused. There may be cultural and religious reasons that keep a victim with their abusive partner out of fear of not wanting to shame one’s family. In some cases, they just may not have enough money to leave. One of the biggest barriers? Love. “Abusive people can often be charming, especially at the beginning of a relationship, and the victim may hope that their partner will go back to being that person. They may only want the violence to stop, not for the relationship to end entirely,” according to the National Domestic Violence Hotline. In fact, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. This equates to 10 million women and men in just one year. Yet, despite this issue being pervasive in our culture — intimate partner violence accounts for 15 percent of all violent

crime — many are uneducated about domestic violence and the conversation is often forced to the sideline at both a local and national level. This is partly because many don’t know the signs to look out for, both in their own relationship and in their loved ones. Domestic violence takes form in not only physical abuse, but also emotional, sexual and financial abuse. In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, here are some warning signs of abusive partners, as listed by the National Domestic Violence Hotline:  Tells you that you can never do anything right  Shows extreme jealousy of your friends and time spent away  Keeps you or discourages you from seeing friends or family members  Insults, demeans or shames you with put-downs  Prevents you from working or attending school  Destroys your property or threatens to hurt or kill your pets  Intimidates you with guns, knives or other weapons  Pressures you to have sex when you don’t want to or do things sexually you’re not comfortable with  Pressures you to use drugs or alcohol If you or someone you know feel as if you may be in an abusive relationship, resources include thehotline.org and loveisrespect.org.

NBA SWARMS HILTON

MIKINNA KERNS/ IOWA STATE DAILY Timberwolves guard Tyus Jones during the first half of the Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Milwaukee Bucks preseason held in Hilton Coliseum on Sunday. The Wolves were defeated 125-107.

BY NOAH.ROHLFING @iowastatedaily.com For a single night, Hilton Coliseum became Target Center South. The NBA came to Ames on Sunday, with the Minnesota Timberwolves hosting the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks won, 125-107, off the back of performances from Giannis Antetokounmpo and Christian Wood. The game itself was a typical preseason affair, with none of the starters from either team playing past the seven-minute mark of the fourth quarter. By then, the game was out of hand, with the Bucks pulling away with 3-point shooting and forcing Minnesota turnovers in bunches. There was a large contingent of Timberwolves and Bucks fans in the audience, with a smattering of different NBA jerseys on display. The jerseys consisted of Jayson Tatum, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan and more. Of course, with the crowd on hand, there were also a number of Cyclone jerseys

and shirts on display. The Cyclone men’s and women’s basketball teams were on hand for the spectacle, and sophomore guard Terrence Lewis got involved in a pre-game dance off with a fan at center court. The floor may have not been Iowa State’s (it was an Iowa Wolves floor brought up from Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines), but Hilton Coliseum left its mark on the visiting players and coaches. Before the game, Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau said the Iowa State campus was “beautiful,” and described Hilton as an arena “full of history,” after making a crack about looking for a statue of Fred Hoiberg when he arrived in Ames. Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer was a fan of playing in a different location than his team is used to. “You’re always looking for a little variety,” Budenholzer said. “There’s obviously been great college teams, great college atmosphere [here].” The crowd was at once in awe of the action

and subdued when the game became more preseason-esque, and the stars went to the bench. Thibodeau cracked a smile when asked about the building and the crowd’s performance. “It’s beautiful,” Thibodeau said. “For a building this old to look the way it does, it’s incredible. The crowd was terrific, terrific.” The game captured the most fan attention during a third-quarter stretch in which the game briefly morphed into a one-on-one showdown with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns. Towns led all scorers with 33 points in 28 minutes. The man known to some NBA fans as “The Greek Freak” was impressed with the atmosphere. “They did a great job cheering for both teams and having fun,” Antetokounmpo said. “It was packed out there.” Now, some Thib-bits from Sunday’s game: — The most indelible first-half moment happened in the first quarter at the free-throw

line. Karl-Anthony Towns stepped up to the stripe and, before his second free throw, a fan yelled out a question for the Timberwolves center. “What’s your shoe size?” the fan asked. After hitting the free throw, Towns yelled back “20!” before jogging back down the court. — E ve n i n a p re s e a s on g a m e, Tom Thibodeau played his starters an eye-catching amount of time. Karl-Anthony Towns played 11 straight minutes to start the third quarter. The Wolves had four players with more than 24 minutes of game action entering the fourth quarter.

ISU cross country gains new coach BY NASH.VANBIBBER @iowastatedaily.com Amy Rudolph is the new head coach of the Iowa State women’s cross country team. Rudolph is inheriting an already strong team that brought home the Big 12 Cross Country and NCAA Midwest Region titles at the 2017 NCAA Cross Country Championships. Rudolph was an assistant coach at Auburn and Drake for a total of eight years before coming to Iowa State. This is Rudolph’s first head coaching role. Rudolph started running at the young age of six. Her parents and elementary gym teacher pulled Rudolph into the sport. Her gym teacher started an after-school program AMY for kids who wanted to run once class was RUDOLPH done for the day. “The practices were very basic, but I later went on to Junior Olympic events,” Rudolph said. “The next thing I knew one year rolled into the another, and I was running at Providence College.” After running at Providence for four years, she went on to go pro. Rudolph had a successful career as a 13-year professional. Rudolph enjoys cross country due to the team aspect; it’s very pure due to the running routes. “Everyone runs the same distance, and it is based on who is the best on that day,” Rudolph said.

Coming to Iowa State, Rudolph was very interested in the history of the school and the cross country program itself. Rudolph was also interested in working with Martin Smith, the director of men’s and women’s track and cross country. “While coming to Iowa State, I knew Smith had great success, and he was one of the biggest reasons to be here,” Rudolph said. “Another reason was the team not just because of their talent but because of how they treat each other and rally behind one another is amazing.” The Iowa State women’s cross country has been consistently successful as of late. In the fall of 2017, the Cyclones had some impressive showings. Last year in September, the Cyclones visited Minnesota and came in second place. In October, during the Big 12 championship, Iowa State came in first place. Closing out last year the Cyclones also got first place in the NCAA Midwest Regional and finished in 20th place in the NCAA championship. The Cyclones are looking to maintain their momentum through the rest of the 2018 season. This success comes with an enormous amount of pressure. “There is pressure coming into a team that has been good for so many years, but it is a challenge I am willing to embrace,” Rudolph said. Rudolph’s goal for this season is to get the most out of all of her runners. Some of these athletes will be here for four or five years, and she wants them to feel comfortable and do whatever works for them. “Some goals that both I and the team have is that we want to win conference finals,” Rudolph said. “We also want to qualify for nationals but not only qualify, but we also want to go out

there and do something.” Sophomore distance runner, Cailie Logue, has many awards to her name. Logue was named a Team USA Member for the IAAF U20 World Championships (2018), USATF Junior Outdoor National Champion of the 3,000m & 5,000m (2018) and Academic All-Big 12 Rookie team (2018). “I try to show improvement from the year before,” Logue said. “I would like to be an All-American at the national seed.” Logue was coached in high school by her father, and she is used to having a strong relationship with a coach. Logue looks for a strong bond in a coach, in knowing that she can talk to her coach about anything and that she is comfortable about speaking her mind. Logue said she believes in Rudolph, and she is one of the reasons why Logue decided to stick with Iowa State. “To have Amy here is a blessing, everything has been a smooth transition from a couple months ago where we didn’t know who was going to be our coach for the year,” Logue said. “Amy and our team work very well together.” Rudolph knows exactly what these women are going through. She understands academics come first, and the sport comes second. Rudolph appreciates the hard work it takes to come to practice week in and week out and also believes this team has not shown its greatest potential yet. “Amy is very organized, she understands the life of a student-athlete, which I really appreciate, I’m glad someone understands what I am going through,” Logue said. “Coach Rudolph is excited, possibly even more excited than we are to come to practice, we like to say that we are ‘practicing in front of an Olympian’ due to how much success she’s had in her career.”

Students share study advice

Spencer Benton:

What is your favorite study spot? “I like to study either at the library, or in the dens at Gerdin,” said Spencer Benton, fifth year student in accounting. What music do you like to listen to when you study? “Depends on the mood, sometimes I get into the music and get consumed in my work,” Benton said. “I listen to Jack Johnson, some slow jams.”

Alexis Burrows:

What is your favorite study spot? “My sorority [is my favorite place to study] because it is usually quiet and there are so many girls with different majors to help me with whatever I am stuck on,” said Alexis Burrows, freshman in advertising. Do you listen to music when you study? “I like listening to jazz music when I am studying because it’s soothing and a lot of times there’s no words, so it’s easier to comprehend what I am learning,” Burrows said.

Eilanna Comstock:

Do you have any study tips? “It’s really helpful to get everything done early rather than later; I have such a hard time procrastinating,” said Elianna Comstock, senior in finance. “If I do it earlier, then I feel more confident going into an exam or whatever it may be. I like to make my own cheat sheet and study off of that. “You can only do notecards so many times, and read over your notes so many times. It’s about finding out what works best for you.”

Eva Kohl:

Do you have any study tips? “ I think it ’s real l y good to go o ver the practice test multiple times,” said Eva Kohl, sophomore in software engineering. “ That ’s something I’ve learned that ’s super helpful. Also something I’ve found helpful is to keep up with the textbook readings and making flashcards while reading the textbook, and looking back at them.”

Welch Avenue. The City of Ames and others collected data for the survey through “dot voting,” which is where those questioned were given four options of what they would like to see in a potential Welch Avenue reconstruction, and respondents used stickers to pick their vote. The survey was also available online with more questions asking respondents to answer exactly what they would like to see. Through online voting, 1,060 people participated. The 1,242 votes collected by the Undergraduate Community and Regional Planning Club and the city through dot voting were counted individually added up in the report. The two most popular options through the dot voting were options three and four. Option four would eliminate parking and create bike lanes on both sides and had 457 votes, according to the report from city council. Option three, which would widen the sidewalks and have one side of parallel parking, had 411 votes. Nine of the 10 survey locations for dot voting were done on campus, something that Bridget Williams, the president of the Undergraduate Community and Regional Planning Club, said could show city council is concerned

with hearing the voices of students. “It’s exciting to see the city is looking into student opinions, especially because Welch is largely used by students,” Williams said. “It is important because students’ voices are playing a part in this process.” Ames spokeswoman Susan Gwiasda said this is what they had in mind when conducting the survey. “Absolutely, that is why we partnered with the Community and Regional Planning club, and they did the dot voting for us at different campus locations,” Gwiasda said. Williams said there were specific areas in the survey she hopes the city considers in their decision Tuesday. “In the online survey, there are questions that ask more broadly what students value,” Williams said. “I hope those aspects — how far students are willing to park, what they’re looking for in a space — are not only considered for this project, but for future projects that impact student-dominated spaces.” After seeing the results of the voting, the city staff crafted another option that was a hybrid of the most popular two. Option 6, as it is called in city council’s agenda, would make a single bike lane while retaining a single lane for parallel parking. “Option 6 is a hybrid option that reflects the desired elements and interests that were

received during extensive public outreach,” according to the city council’s agenda. “This option also meets the goals of the project and takes a “complete streets” approach to the design by accommodating multi-modal users with the project.” The first changes made to Welch happened in May 2016 with a pilot project that was initiated to add temporary features to Welch Avenue in an effort to reduce vehicle, bicyclist and pedestrian conflicts in the 100 and 200 blocks of the street. One of the main concerns written in the qualitative part of the online survey was related to making the space along Welch into a pedestrian mall. Gwiasda gave a few reasons why this plan would not work well. “When you have a fire station located on the street, CyRide 2.0, buses going every 10 minutes and a CVS parking lot that couldn’t be accessed with a [pedestrian] mall,” Gwiasda said. “Other businesses have constant deliveries, there is a parking lot and alley by Fighting Burrito that needs Welch to be accessed, and those are some of the reasons why a [pedestrian] mall are not possible on that specific section of Welch.” Gwiasda said there are alternative areas that could work as a pedestrian mall, but the 100 block of Welch Avenue is a very unlikely location for a future pedestrian mall.
