AJ McNeil flies this drone over farms for his internship with People’s Company. He purchased it at Hobby Haven in Des Moines, Iowa. McNeil is currently in the process of getting his license.

Drone usage article spikes controversy By Sarah.Muller @iowastatedaily.com On Oct. 8, the Iowa State Daily ran a story about AJ McNeil’s work with People’s Company, a real estate company and land brokerage in Des Moines. McNeil, a senior in public service and administration in agriculture, flies drones over the company’s property. The Federal Aviation Administration [FAA] considers drones unmanned aircrafts. In the article McNeil and Steve Bruere, president of People’s Company, expressed a lack of knowledge regarding current laws and regulations for flying drones. According to the United States Code, as of June 23, pilots of unmanned aircrafts must have a certificate of waiver, authorization or airworthiness. “Basically if you are going to fly a model aircraft or a small unmanned aircraft for hobby or recreation, you don’t need FAA authorization, but you do need to [adhere] to the provisions that are spelled out in that law,” said Les Dorr, spokesman for the FAA’s unmanned aircraft department. “Any other purpose, including using an unmanned aircraft or model aircraft in connection to business, you need FAA authorization.” As made clear in the article, McNeil, operator of the company drone, has had no license to operate drone aircrafts. “We figured the rules were not drafted and we were ready to go,” McNeil said. “There were a lot of companies doing it so we went for it.” The company has been uncertain regarding updates to the laws, Bruere said. “When we bought the drone there was vagueness in the law around owning drones and flying drones between recreation purpose and commercial purposes,” Bruere said. “We understand that there are penalties and we have been told that there will be further clarity from the FAA as for the use of drones and so while we are waiting for the further clarity we are going to continue to use it how we are using it.” When People’s Company purchased their drone in May, the law had not been passed. Therefore, no license was needed to obtain and operate a unmanned aircraft. The issue had been an ongoing discussion among legislators and the FAA. “I guess I just really haven’t been paying attention, really,” Bruere said. “We understood the risk of flying a drone when we bought it.” In previous cases of flying unmanned aircrafts, the FAA has fined violators up to $10,000. In response to whether or not People’s Company had been up to date drone-usage laws, Bruere’s response was no. “My understanding of the fine is $10,000, so if we get fined $10,000 then we get fined $10,000,” Bruere said. While McNeil is still unlicensed, People’s Company will continue to fly the drone without hesitation, Bruere said. However, McNeil said he would not.

Three years ago, ISU mechanical engineering students Bernardo Del Campo, Matthew Kieffer and Juan Aviles-Proano decided to create their own company. Artichar sells a bio-renewable product called Biochar, which is a charcoal that filters water from fertilizer run-off.

Better biodiesel

ISU graduate students receive grant to continue biochar research By Molly.Willson @iowastatedaily.com Having a job while in college can be stressful, but creating your own company is a whole other briquette in the fire. For ISU students Bernardo Del Campo, Juan Proano and Matthew Kieffer, that is their reality. Their company, Artichar, works to sell the bio-renewable product called Biochar, a charcoal-like substance used as a carbon sequestering resource. Around three years ago, a group of mechanical engineering students joined forces and began playing around with the idea of Biodiesel, a fuel that mimics diesel, but is made out of flotsam oil. “In the beginning, it was biodiesel and consulting. It was playing around as a club figuring out ‘How do we do biodiesel? How do we help the farmer?’ Proano said. “In that phase, we figured out that Biochar could be a good addition in order to improve the health of the soils on a farm.” The group previously collected the oil and processed it into biodiesel, but this only lasted about a year before the collection began to outsize the group. As the group began looking at the idea of making a profit with the research they had done, it became apparent that a change needed to be made. “We decided it’s more profitable for us just to go into the oil business; recycle, clean it, and sell it to biodiesel plants,” said Del Campo, president of Artichar.

The new Biorenewables Complex includes a 70,000-square-foot office and classroom wing known as Virgil B. Elings Hall and a 100,000-square-foot research and teaching wing and 8,000-square-foot atrium known as Sukup Hall and Atrium.

The group made a breakthrough in being able to pretreat the oil for much cheaper than was currently being done. “People have been doing this pretreatment for some time, but we did it [for] pennies. It was a

really reduced budget.” Proano said. From there, the company began working with around 20 individuals from many differ-

Student-faculty ratio experiences steady increase By Erin.Malloy @iowastatedaily.com The student-faculty ratio is just one of the many things that the university looks at as a measure of what it is doing to help students succeed in their degree programs. With Iowa State enrollment numbers at a record high, university officials are looking for ways to “expand the capacity of the institution” while still keeping a high-quality student experience, President Steven Leath said during his presidential address at the start of the fall semester. In the last ten years, the ratio of full-time students to full-time faculty has grown from 16-1 to 19-1 as of the 2013-2014 academic year. The ratio in 2004 was 16-1, dropping down to 15 in 2005 and 2006 and raising back up to 16. “It’s something that we definitely keep our eye on,” said Jonathan Wickert, senior vice president and provost. “It’s useful to look at because it can be quantified and it’s something we can compare against other schools.” Iowa State is part of an official peer group made up of schools

The student to faculty ratio has been ever-changing since 2006 when there were 15 students per one faculty member. In 2014, there are 19 students per one faculty member. There’s been a steady increase during the past nine years and it may continue.

that are similar to be used for comparison purposes, including Ohio State, North Carolina State and Purdue. Wickert said in terms of student to faculty ratio, Iowa State ranks near the middle. “President Leath has made a

commitment to invest in faculty hiring, which will help up us to reduce the student faculty ratio a bit,” Wickert said. “We hired more faculty this past year than we ever have before, and we have searches underway to hire 130 more. If this year goes the way we all want it to

go, we’ll be bringing in yet an even larger group of new faculty through hires made this year.” Leath said during his presidential address that 105 new tenure or tenure-track faculty were hired this academic year, bringing the total to 245 new hires in less

than three years. At his address, Leath stated that he believes Iowa State is the only university in the country that has hired over 100 tenure-track faculty two years in a row. Wickert said their goal is to find the correct balance between building the size of the faculty and keeping tuition affordable. “We’re all very proud that our tuition is the lowest among our peer group,” Wickert said. In addition to looking at student-faculty ratio, Wickert said the university invests in several other programs to ensure students’ academic success, including learning communities, supplemental instruction and tutoring. The Course Availability Group is one resource focused on providing enough seats in the classes students need. David Holger, associate provost for academic programs and dean of the graduate college, has been the chair of the Course Availability Group since it began about ten years ago. The group’s initial goal was to try and predict the courses needed by first-year incoming students so

Dr. Robert Bosselman, professor of apparel, events & hospitality management; Hannah Gibbs, College of Human Sciences student council president; Dr. Pamela White, dean of the College of Human Sciences and Dr. Jonathan Wickert, senior vice president and provost, cut the ribbon at the MacKay Auditorium Ribbon Cutting on Wednesday.

MacKay Hall hosts ribbon cutting By Vanessa.Franklin @iowastatedaily.com MacKay Hall hosted a ribbon-cutting celebration to mark the completion of its recent renovations Oct. 9. The ribbon-cutting included self-guided tours, refreshments and a short program including history of the building. Renovations include the auditorium, the Visitor Center, the Vestibule, the Batchelder Fountains, 213 MacKay and the Tearoom. The renovation took about 14 months to com-

plete, becoming ready for students this fall. While MacKay is now one of the many homes to the College of Human Sciences, it was originally part of the College of Home Economics. Preserving the history of MacKay Hall was one of the biggest challenges. MacKay Hall opened in 1911 and has seen over a century’s worth of history. “This is one of the things that makes our campus so special,” said Jonathan Wickert, senior vice president and provost. “You see the new, cutting edge facilities and you also see

us paying respect to historic buildings. “MacKay definitely has a great history and legacy on our campus.” Preserving this history included restoring the original floors and chandelier in the Catherine J. MacKay Auditorium [named after the first Dean of the College of Home Economics from 1911 to 1921] and the Batchelder tiles in the fountains. The tiles used in the fountains are extremely rare and can cost up to $600 per tile. “A lot of the original artwork and detail is exactly the same as it was,” said Robert

Bosselman, professor and chair of apparel, events and hospitality management. “It was simply brought back to it’s original state. We tried to maintain all the history.” The renovations were designed to combat the rising enrollment of the College of Human Sciences. According to Pamela White, dean of the College of Human Sciences, enrollment for the college has increased 52 percent in the past nine years and 6.2 percent in the last year. “Completing this project could not have come at a better time,” Wickert said.

“We are in our sixth year of record enrollment on campus. A lot of that growth is happening here in the College of Human Sciences.” The ribbon cutting organizer was Natasha Banks, senior in event management, who was awarded an internship with the College of Human Sciences. Banks began working on the project around the end of the spring semester last year. “I did a lot of the planning on my own and just consulted with the [ribbon cutting] committee on my plans and my ideas,” Banks said. “I definitely think it was

an amazing learning experience. I wasn’t planning the event on my own, but in a way I was.” Banks researched MacKay Hall to prepare for the ribbon cutting, along with creating a powerpoint presentation on MacKay, working with student organizations to provide refreshments and creating programs. “For everyone that comes, it’s going to be a reflection of my work, so that’s kind of intimidating,” Banks said. “It was definitely a great starting point for my career.”

History professor writes book about women in engineering, tech fields By Abby.Wadeson @iowastatedaily.com The representation of women in engineering programs has come a long way, but the journey to completely equal representation is far from over. Amy Bix, an associate professor in history, published a book this year called “Girls Coming to Tech!: A History of American Engineering Education For Women.” Bix’s book focuses on the history of women in engineering and the discrimination they have suffered from while entering the field. Bix’s interest in the topic was piqued with a class she teaches titled the History of Women in Science, Medicine, and Technology. Bix found plenty of materials for her students to read about the history of women in science and medicine, but couldn’t find anything about the history of women in engineering. “When it came to women in engineering, I literally couldn’t find anything for my students to read,” said Bix. At first she decided to work around it, but then she decided she would have to write the book herself. While writing her book, Bix found that the history of women in engineering differed from the history of women in science and medicine. Women in science were allowed access to the field through men in their families and women in medicine were always traditional healers. Women weren’t allowed acceptance into medical school, but were allowed to be nurses. Only a handful of women in the late 1800s and early 1900s studied engineering, but after WWII began women

were called to take the place of men who had gone off to war. In her book, Bix focuses on three colleges: CalTech, MIT, and Georgia Tech. CalTech, a science and engineering college in California, only began to allow women access to the engineering program because the men in the college needed someone to date. Iowa State has played a vital role for women in engineering. Two of the first female engineers graduated from Iowa State. One became a drafting professor here and another went on to be an assistant professor elsewhere. In the 1950s, women made up less than one percent of American students in engineering, but this number has risen to 18.4 percent of bachelor’s degrees, 22.6 percent of master’s degrees, and 21.8 percent of doctorates as of 2010 and 2011, according to the MIT Press. Bix attributed this success to community outreach efforts and programs for young girls. “The thing that’s really changed, over the last few decades is the organization and institutionalization of support for women who want to go into engineering,” Bix said. Bix stressed the importance of getting young girls excited about engineering. Girls should be taught that it’s “normal and cool” to know their way around technology. Bix said it’s too late once they reach college because they haven’t taken the proper courses in high school. WiSE, or Women in Science and Engineering, is a program at Iowa State that does K-12 outreach, works on retaining students and provides plenty of resources for women in STEM majors on campus.

WiSE works with younger girls to encourage them to consider careers in science and engineering. On campus WiSE provides learning communities, peer mentoring, course clustering, and other community building recourses to fight off feelings of isolation that some women may have. “We like to see the WiSE program as a foundation for women in STEM,” said Allie Rowe, undergraduate program coordinator for WiSE. Although the numbers of women in engineering have risen, enrollment has plateaued and it’s a challenge to understand why. “My own perspective as a historian is that a lot of it comes back to the history that engineering is so much more masculine than those fields were,” Bix said. Rowe and Lora-Leigh Chrystal, the director of WiSE, said the reason for the plateau might be the way children are socialized. Messages from society push children into gender roles early on. Bix said that getting the numbers of women in engineering fields up isn’t going to be “quick and easy”, but both the field of engineering and women as a whole will benefit from the diversity. “The outreach piece is so crucial to this whole puzzle,” said Rowe. Lydia Barrett, a junior in mechanical engineering, felt welcomed into the engineering program. “The students are really great, you’re just one of them. You’re not really any different,” Barrett said. Barrett says that there are plenty of resources for students in STEM majors on campus, but WiSE is the only one she knows of that is for women. “People notice that you’re the girl, but they don’t make it a big thing,” said Barrett.

Be on the right side of history

Reed Lech/Iowa State Daily Columnist Katie Titus argues that though Monsanto is currently seen as an evil company in America’s eyes, if they truly want to, they have the power to change their image.

Monsanto needs to alter image By Katie.Titus @iowastatedaily.com Monsanto is a popular name in the agriculture community. However, Monsanto is popular in the U.S. for all of the wrong reasons. For years, Monsanto has monopolized the seeding business in most of North America, using genetically modified organisms in the seeds, and hurting smaller farmers along the way. The way Monsanto handles farming is wrong and, especially in Iowa, damaging to the farmers that take care of this great state. Iowa, which is known for being an agricultural state, actually only has five percent of the population employed as farmers, according to the Iowa Farm Bureau. As a nation overall, only two percent of land in the United States is used as farmland. Taking this

into consideration, farmers in the United States have one of the toughest jobs: feeding this nation, and sometimes others, with a limited amount of space to grow crops. Private and family farmers are able to decide whether they will be using GMOs or non GMOs for their crops, or they can choose to be organic. However, if Monsanto’s GMO seeds are to blow over the fence from a Monsanto farm to a farm that does not use Monsanto’s seeds, Monsanto sues the farmer. A Supreme Court case in 2011 ruled against 80 farmers that were working to prohibit Monsanto from suing farmers who have inadvertently had their fields contaminated with Monsanto seeds. Because the farmers are being sued at such a high rate and for so much money, Monsanto has the capability of causing many farmers to go bankrupt, literally. In today’s economy, along with the ever changing climate, people are now more conscious about recycling and considering organic farming. Monsanto, however,

is taking opportunities for farmers to reuse their seeds from year to year. While it is somewhat understandable that Monsanto does not allow the reuse of seeds because it could affect the numbers of seeds being bought each year, this act toward farmers makes it seem like Monsanto does not care as much as they should about sustainability. Monsanto sues farmers that try to reuse seeds from year to year, making crop recycling nearly impossible, considering they dominate the seed market and have almost complete control of seed prices in the United States and Canada. Being from a farming community, I cannot imagine the amount of people that would struggle tremendously if they were to be sued by Monsanto. Over 50 percent of the population of my hometown would go bankrupt if there were Monsanto seeds floating through the wind and accidentally landed in their fields. While that is the case, it is a tricky situation because many of the farmers in the area depend on Monsanto

seeds to have successful crop harvests each year. There has been back and forth arguing for and against Monsanto for years. People keep talking about why Monsanto’s use of GMOs is wrong and how we shouldn’t use them. The fact of the matter is that the GMOs themselves are not inherently wrong. Production of GMOs could be a great thing in the agricultural world and it is not science and technology that is the enemy. It is Monsanto’s refusal to allow recycling and suing farmers that have unintentionally used their products. Monsanto has the capabilities to help farmers in feeding the United States. Many farmers in the United States would not be able to afford their crops without Monsanto GMOs and seeds. It seems that Monsanto has a bad rap and has burned many bridges. It no secret that Monsanto could use some help with public relations, but if they were more relaxed on farmers inadvertent use of seeds, or reuse of seeds, they may not have so many enemies.

International scholars gain from church By Seung-Won.Kim @iowastatedaily.com I have noticed that many international students remain wary of creating social opportunities in churches because they have an image of Christians that paints them as biased and close-minded to others who have different religious beliefs. However, from what I have experienced, most Christians in Iowa encourage international students to believe in God, they are also able to communicate with people who hold other religious views or even atheists by having a conversation with them while participating in connection groups in the church. Church can be a very productive and socializing environment for international students, even if they aren’t Christian. In my opinion, these international students are still afraid of having conflicts with Christians because they have come from parts of the world where different religions are the majority or have seen pastors harassing minorities in their own countries. One of my friends, from the Muslim nation of Malaysia, even told me that she avoids attending church

functions in the community because she worries that she might be discriminated against by Christians if she goes to a church or to one of the many connection groups that local churches provide for international students. In addition to that apprehension on the part of a Muslim, I know of Koreans who also hold a negative image of Christian pastors based on experiences with several extremely conservative pastors in South Korea who tend to make offensive comments about Buddhists and the LGBT community a few months ago. However, I have also met three Muslims and a few atheists from Asia while attending the International Friendship Connection, a social group for international students sponsored by Cornerstone Church, the largest church in Ames. This connection group is usually referred to as IFC and is a place for international students to socialize with others and study the bible with American students. Three weeks ago, I came to the realization that having discussions in intelligent and logical ways is really important in American culture; not just for college education, but also in daily life. This fact struck me as I was listening to

an international student from Iran during one of these IFC meetings. The IFC members and I were reading the Bible together and the Muslim student from Iran was persistently asking very pointed questions regarding the reliability of the Bible. I can not say much about her comments because I do not consider myself extremely educated in Christianity or any other religion. It was interesting that all Christians were discussing and addressing her concerns and assertions without being emotional or offensive to the Muslim student, which would be considered very unusual behavior of Christians in my country. Because the American education system tends to focus more on having discussions and presenting personal ideas logically in front of the public than I have noticed in many Asian countries, there were less people using emotional methods when persuading others who have different religions or attempting in any way to force them to become Christians. In addition, there was an atheist student from Korea at a similar group function at Stonebrook church, another church in the area. Even though he believes that God does not exist, he told me

he was surprised as well that Christians from Stonebrook church were being reasonable and did not bash him just because he criticized Christianity in front of them. This indicates to me that these two churches are good places for international students to mingle with other students, even though they may not believe in God. I am not trying to promote Christianity as a religion. I have never been to a church back in Korea and I still don’t have any particular religion, but I think that going to church can be a way for international students to become more socialized in the United States and learn its’ culture because people will not offend you just because you don’t believe in their God. Moreover, it is meaningful to me that people who have different beliefs can have a reasonable discussion instead of being emotionally aggressive. Due to the importance of understanding individual differences in a democratic society, it is not a bad idea to approach Christians, or any religious group different from your own, around you. Not only for the purpose of making new friends, but also for having a reasonable debate regarding cultural differences.

The United States Supreme Court refused to hear 11 cases regarding same-sex marriage on Oct. 6. By not hearing those cases, the lower court rulings stand and as a result same-sex marriage is now legal in five more states. Citizens in Utah, Oklahoma, Virginia, Indiana and Wisconsin were all allowed to marry those of the same sex beginning as early as the afternoon of Oct. 6. Yet another state was added to that list on Oct. 7. The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down gay marriage bans in both Idaho and Nevada. While Idaho was granted a stay while it waits for the U.S. Supreme Court to hear its case, Nevada has not yet appealed. According to the Wall Street Journal, Nevada lawyers discontinued its defense of the ban on same-sex marriage because recent precedents showed it was unconstitutional. Now in the United States, 26 states and Washington D.C. allow same-sex marriage, according to freedomtomarry.org. In an additional eight states, federal appellate courts have have set a precedent in favor of same-sex marriage. Now 55 percent of Americans live in a place where same-sex marriage is legal. That number is expected to grow to more than 64 percent because of the eight states with a marriage equality precedent, according to freedomtomarry.org. With the majority of states allowing samesex marriage and that many pending appeals, it seems only a matter of time before bans are ruled unconstitutional and the entire country lives in a place where same-sex marriage is allowed. Americans should support the expansion of civil rights. We applaud the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision not to hear those 11 cases on Oct. 6 and the lower courts’ rulings in favor of same-sex marriage. As a result of their decisions, marriage equality has expanded to include five more states. Allowing same-sex couples to get married does not harm or retract from more traditional marriages. The scent of hypocrisy certainly looms over the rejection of these new unions based on somewhat archaic religious principles when over 50 percent of marriages end in divorce in the United States. Marriage is no longer the religious bond that ties two people to each other, but instead is becoming what it has always truly been: a social and legal agreement between two people who have chosen to live their lives in each other’s consistent company. This shift in the meaning of marriages makes the union no less special, but it does in a way prohibit dissent of marriage equality based on religious prejudice. The reality is, whether or not people believe in marriage equality for religious or other reasons, the majority of Americans now live in states that allow it. Therefore, it is time for all Americans to support same-sex marriage. The United States is only becoming a more accepting and equal place to be a citizen because of those who chose to fight bans on same-sex marriage. Americans should embrace these rulings because of the flow of national laws has always moved towards inclusion of minority groups, not the other way around. Don’t be on the wrong side of history. Allowing same-sex couples to get married is another achievement in civil rights in this country. Looking back on other issues, like the fight of African Americans for equality, we are shocked at the unfairness and harshness of the Jim Crow laws. We cannot believe the country we know and love today would treat African Americans as less than people during the Jim Crow era. We do not understand why people would threaten or harm African American students for simply trying to attend Little Rock High School in 1957. We look back on those people, who fought acceptance of others and civil rights, with shame. In 50 or 100 years, Americans might look back and be shocked at how unfairly gay and lesbian citizens were treated. Don’t be the person that still supports inequality even as the tides of society push against you, because soon you may very well find yourself alone, carried by the current and lost at sea as a result of your exclusionary mindset.

SPORTS Natives begin Iowa State careers

Friday, Oct. 10, 2014

By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com Laura Friedrich and Stella Maris Strohman didn’t have to travel very far for college. In fact, the two freshmen really didn’t have to travel at all. Friedrich and Strohman, both Ames natives, decided to stay close to home when it came to their college decision and where they would continue their soccer careers. “I grew up here and I always kind of looked up to the Iowa State women’s soccer team, so it’s something that I always wanted to do,” Friedrich said. “It was like a dream come true when they offered me a position here. I always wanted to go to Iowa State.” Like Friedrich, Strohman’s decision to play for the Cyclones was an easy one. The chance to play for her hometown university was too good to pass up. “It wasn’t hard for me at all,” Strohman said of the decision to attend Iowa State. “I absolutely love this school and it’s a really great community to be in and be a part of.” Neither player really gave much thought to continuing their academic and soccer careers anywhere else. Staying close to home has provided the two freshmen with plenty of family and friends in the stands to cheer them on. In fact, the duo said they have even seen past coaches and their old teachers in the stands to cheer on the Cyclones. “It’s really awesome to see my old teachers here and people that don’t usu-

ally support the team to be out here,” Strohman said. “Just because they know us they come out and support the whole team. That’s really awesome to me.” While the duo has enjoyed their brief time as Cyclones so far, it hasn’t come without its challenges. As freshmen, they’ve had to adjust to a whole new brand of soccer where everything happens a little bit faster. “It’s challenging at times, but that just comes with the level of play and the speed of play,” Friedrich said. “That’s just different when you get to this level.” Another challenge has been trying to find playing time. Playing for a Big 12 school provides fewer playing opportunities than if they would have decided to play at a different level or smaller Division-I school. Also being from an Iowa high school where the level of competition is lower than some parts of the country, Strohman and Friedrich haven’t faced the same caliber opponents that other players may have faced previously in their career. This means they have had to work extra hard to catch up and progress to the proper level of play for a Division-I athlete. For now, the freshmen are working on their skills and progressing so that they can have an impact down the line for the Cyclones. “Its going to be a lot of hard work and them taking a couple steps back to move forward, but if they’re willing to put that work in there will be a reward in the end,” said ISU coach Tony Minatta.

Ryan Young/Iowa State Daily Stella Maris Strohman, freshman in pre-business, and Laura Friedrich, freshman in pre-diet and exercise, finish up practice on Oct. 7 at the Iowa State Soccer Complex. Both Strohman and Friedrich are Ames natives and joined the tean this year.

Cyclones ready for Toledo defense, first home win By Beau.Berkley @iowastatedaily.com Sure, a top ranked team in the Mid American-Conference isn’t always highlighted on the schedule, but after a two-game losing streak to ranked opponents, ISU football needs to regain some momentum. Iowa State (1-4, 0-3 Big 12) welcomes Toledo (4-2, 3-0 MAC) at 2:30 p.m. this Saturday, Oct. 11 to Jack Trice Stadium. Toledo, in contrast to Iowa State’s recent results, is riding high on a three game win streak, including a 20-19 overtime win against Western Michigan last weekend. “This is a team that’s on a three game win streak, leading the MAC west and putting up a lot of points and they scare us just as much as our first five opponents have for sure, but it’s our next opportunity [for a win],” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads. Toledo’s rush defense is ranked 30th in the nation, holding teams to 115.7 yards per game. Toledo’s rush defense is the favorite on paper against the ISU rushing attack, which has been dysmal this season, averaging 107.6 yards per game. But offensive coordinator Mark Mangino says he has seen improvement in the rush game, as ISU running backs were able to break away for some moderate gains, including a sixteen yard scamper from Aaron

few holes in the secondary, quarterback Sam Richardson and his receiving corps might be able to exploit the Rockets downfield. Toledo is giving up 325.7 passing yards per game, one of the worst averages in the nation. Iowa State has relied on the passing game up to this point while the coaching

staff sorts out the troubles in the backfield. “There’s definitely some shots we can take in the secondary and we got to get our run game going, so trying to do a little bit of everything,” Richardson said. Mangino said that even though Toledo’s pass defense has not been statistically successful thus far, they

still pose some problems. “The thing about them is they give you a lot of different looks,” Mangino said. “They put people on the move all the time, so we have to be disciplined in both facets of the game.” Along with a group of young receivers, Richardson has tight end E.J. Bibbs to look for downfield. Af-

ter stalling for a few games, Bibbs reemerged in the offense last week after catching two touchdown passes from Richardson, one of which was a one-handed grab near the pylon. “I think its a bad matchup on any Saturday for a defense that’s trying to cover him,” Richardson said of Bibbs.

Volleyball prepares for tough conference test By Harrison.March @iowastatedaily.com

Oklahoma has two middle blockers, Marion Hazelwood and Micaela Spann, who have 53 blocks each this season, providing the Sooners with depth up the middle. To counter that, the Cyclones will need strong showings from their hitters. Unfortunately for Iowa State, its hitters have been plagued with injuries this year. Victoria Hurtt, Mackenzie Bigbee and Ciara Capezio have all seen playing time reduced at some point this season with mild injuries. Stepping up in times of need, however, has been redshirt sophomore Morgan Kuhrt. Kuhrt had a breakout performance at Northern Iowa Sept. 24 when she had a team-high 14 kills on .355 hitting. Her role in the ISU offense has increased drastically since that match, with 144 of her 194 attacks on the season coming in the last five contests. She’ll need to be on top of her game to keep the OU defense in check. “The main thing is that I’m trying to be aggressive as I can and work as hard as I can out there,” Kuhrt said. “No matter what happens, I always go out swinging and have a good attitude.” The Cyclones will have an advantage on the defensive end however, as ISU setter Suzanne Horner

In what has been an up-and-down conference season for the ISU volleyball team thus far, the Cyclones are again looking to get back on track. After two road losses to start Big 12 play, the Cyclones (8-6, 1-3 Big 12) appeared to find their groove in a home win over West Virginia on Oct. 4. They couldn’t keep the momentum rolling, however, as they dropped to 1-3 in conference play with a loss on Oct. 8 at Kansas State. Road wins are hard enough to come by in the Big 12, so the Cyclones can’t afford to stumble at the home match on Oct. 12 against Oklahoma. The Sooners (12-4, 3-0 Big 12), sit at second place in the conference and received votes to place 26th in the most recent poll, present a formidable challenge for Iowa State’s attack. “They’re always a great defensive team,” said ISU coach Christy JohnsonLynch. “They can be very frustrating to play because they can just turn their defense on. What we’ve found, especially when we play them here, is you can kill them one game and they’ll come out and be AllAmericans the next.”

played her freshmen year at Mississippi State with Oklahoma’s Kimmy Gardiner. Gardiner, an outside hitter, is third on the Sooners’ roster with 158 kills. Horner said that after setting for Gardiner all of last season, she knows some of her offensive habits and how the Cyclones can prepare for them. “ I h a v e n ’ t dropped any hints yet, but I have some up there,” Horner said, pointing to her head. “I know her tendencies that she had when we played together, so hopefully that will help us prepare.” The Oct. 12 match might be a must win to keep Iowa State in contention for the conference crown, so the Cyclones will have to give it their all to avoid a damning 1-4 start to Big 12 play. “They’re going to be pretty scrappy,” Kuhrt said. “The biggest thing we can do is hit high, swing hard and try to out-work them to get kills. It might take a few tries, but we’ll get it.”

When enrollment wasn’t growing so fast, analyzing introductory classes was enough, Holger said. “At the time the enrollment started growing, there were spaces in lots of classes,” Holger said. “As soon as we started getting fairly significant increases in the number of students coming, then we had to start worrying about spring semester, too, and then second-year courses.” The registrar and admissions staff decided to put together a team that worked primarily with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to carefully analyze the number of students who started last fall, in what majors and how many are continuing in order to predict how many seats are needed in the courses. “It doesn’t mean everyone gets their first-choice time or first-choice section,” Holger said. “But over the last three to four years, that predictive model has become sophisticated enough that we’re pretty much hitting the mark.” The course availability group meets once a month and includes about 35 representatives from all colleges, including the associate dean

“We saw that people liked [Biochar],” Proano said. “We saw that it is a good addition to the agricultural setting there. Then we decided ‘Ok let’s make it bigger. Let’s become a business.” This is where the Artichar Company truly began. “We worked on it for two years before we actually formalized the company. We were just working on small projects,” said Kieffer, vice president of Artichar. In addition to its’ breakthroughs in affordable bio-renewable sources, Artichar contains a diverse group of people all working together to help the company. Artichar has members from Brazil, Ecuador, Malaysia and Wisconsin, as well as people from a variety of majors and backgrounds. From mechanical, agricultural and electrical engineering students, to physicists to a farmer who has spent his entire life farming, the diversity of the group expands through a large platform.

“We have people from all over the place, not only from a cultural standpoint, but also the disciplines,” Proano said. “Perhaps I was thinking A. He was thinking B. With the team, we come with a whole alphabet, not just two ideas.“ The company recently received a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy for $150,000. Of that money, $60,000 is to go to the university to

continue working on Biochar research. The company will use the remaining money for upcoming projects. One of these projects uses filtering with salt water. Artichar looks to continue expanding their business and look for new ways to utilize Biochar. “We have learned so much from this and it has been very fruitful for us,” Del Campo said.

granted if operation of the drone is low-risk and tightly controlled, is not hazardous to property on the ground, is in the national interest and does not pose a threat to national security. As of June 2, the FAA had received approximately 69 requests for exemption. Only six of them have been granted in thus far. As the discussion of unmanned aircrafts continues,

the FAA will continue to specify laws. “We have been for the last couple of years working on a proposal that will address operations of small unmanned aircrafts--small being under 55 pounds,” Dorr said. “We hope to get that out by the end of this year.” People’s Company, who is currently flying against FAA policy, rec-

ognizes the future of unmanned aircraft regulations. “I think the laws and regulations will continue to evolve,” Bruere said. “From my understanding there are several studies being commissioned right now around this topic. It’s a big issue and there will be time to redirection soon. I just don’t feel [what] they have today is what w e will end up with.”

for undergraduate programs for all the colleges, an adviser from each college and a group of people from student affairs. Right now they are finalizing what is needed for spring semester. He said that a complication with the registration process is that students don’t always put their names on waiting lists if a class is full. If students put their names on wait lists, Holger said it would help identify places where demand is not being met. “Everybody was saying this year was probably the best job that’s been done for fall semester ever,” Holger said. “Partly that’s because the prediction is getting better. Also, there are fewer students who aren’t registering on time. I think the word is out there that if you want to get the classes and sections and you want, when you can register you should register.” While the student to staff ratio is 19-1, some students in lecture classes do not see the benefits of that ratio. Mikayla Dolch, freshman in agricultural and life sciences education, registered for classes this summer at one of the earlier orientation dates. Dolch said she did not have a problem getting into classes due to available seats, but the main issue was trying to get the classes she wanted to work with her schedule. Most of Dolch’s classes

are in large lecture halls; however, some also include additional discussion sessions throughout the week with fewer students. Coming from a smaller high school in southwest Iowa, she said she misses the small class environment. “For high school, we were very ‘spoon-fed,’” Dolch said. “But with smaller classes, I felt like I could retain the information a little better and understand it more. I could also ask questions without feeling intimidated.” Cole Anderson, junior in biology, said his freshmen science classes had around 300 people, and his classes now still have around 200 students in each lecture. “You never get that oneon-one feel with big classes,” Anderson said. “You work in small groups, but the professor never knows your name.” While his biology classes have recitation times with fewer students, Anderson said he still wishes his classes had smaller lectures. “Recitation and class itself don’t coincide all the time, so you’re left feeling more confused,” he said. “Sometimes the teaching assistant has one way of teaching a subject while the professor has another.” In regards to small classes versus large lectures, Holger said they are constrained by the number of classrooms in certain sizes.

“Most departments would say they don’t want to offer one large section of a class, because that’s the only time students can take that class,” Holger said. “The tendency is to say if you have 200 students taking a class this term, it’s probably better to have two sections of 100. So the classes that are in the big lecture halls are ones where they might be several thousand students taking the class, so you have four sections that are all big.” In terms of an optimal average class size or student to faculty ratio, Wickert said there is not a specific number. “The student to faculty ratio for a school like us aggregates across so many different degrees and programs and colleges,” Wickert said. “As you get through your degree program and take more specialized elective classes, the class sizes become smaller. You will always see some variability.” A key to providing a high-quality educational experience for students is providing the classes they need, said Holger. “If we can’t do that, then we’re starting from a losing position,” he said. “You need to first make sure that you’re providing the academic environment that lets them make progress and be successful academically. There are other things, too, but this is one where I think we did it right.”
