THE

SECOND PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE

Clinton, Trump get nasty less than month before election

By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com Donald Trump dismissed controversy over a 2005 video of the presidential candidate making lewd comments about women, saying he was “embarrassed” but it was just “locker room talk” during the second presidential debate Sunday night.

Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton traded personal jabs over if their opponent was fit to be president, including Trump at one point threatening to put Clinton in jail if he is elected.

Trump has lost the endorsement of many Republican leaders, including 2008 Republican nominee John McCain, over the video.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan uninvited him from an event in Wisconsin, while his own running mate, Mike Pence, said he does not condone his remarks and cannot defend them.

“That was locker room talk,” Trump said. “I’m not proud of it. I am a person who has great respect for people, for my family, for the people of this country. And certainly I’m not proud of it, but that was something that happened.”

CIO gave Leath flight lessons Flying began around time Jim Kurtenbach returned to ISU

By Emily.Barske and Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State President Steven Leath said Friday that Chief Information Officer Jim Kurtenbach served as his flight instructor starting in October 2014, helping him earn his Instrument Flight Rules certification.

Leath told the Iowa State Daily in an interview Friday morning that Kurtenbach began flight lessons with him in late 2014, before he was announced as interim CIO in November. Leath said the timing worked nicely because they could fly over Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks.

Leath has faced questions after revelations that he used two university-owned aircraft for both

Career Day arrives in backyard

By Allison.Vincent @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State students are gearing up for the nation’s largest CALS Career Day for the College of Agriculture and Life Science, an event hosted annually.

The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday at the Lied Recreation Athletic Center.

A total of 260 companies will be represented, nearing the record mark of 277 from last year.

Mike Gaul, director of career services for the College of Agriculture, said the drop in numbers is not surprising.

“As I look at last year’s companies that have not RSVP’d for this year, a lot of them are from manufacturing, equipment or technology sectors,” Gaul said.

“This makes sense due to low commodity prices, and producers are not looking to buy those things.”

CALS Career Day has grown exponentially since Gaul’s first year at Iowa State in 1998, when

135 companies were represented.

Gaul said the Career Fair has expanded by more than 50 percent in the last four years, with roughly 2,600 students attending last year.

“There aren’t many career fairs in this country that have grown by that magnitude,” Gaul said. “This speaks volumes for the [agriculture] industry as a whole in terms of the diverse opportunities that are available.

It also speaks volumes about the quality of students we have here at Iowa State.”

Many companies follow up Career Day with individual interviews in the Memorial Union. A total of 950 were conducted last year, and Gaul is bracing for more this year.

Gaul described Career Day as having people right there in your backyard specifically for you.

“It is a privilege to have this opportunity,” Gaul said. “Agriculture is such a close-knit sector and this provides for phenomenal networking.”

Gaul believes internships are an important piece to each stu-

dent’s puzzle at Iowa State, and Career Day is a vital key to obtaining those through networking.

Gaul provided a few pieces of advice for students who plan to attend Career Day. “Do your homework on the company, learn something about them and show that you have done your research about their opportunities,” he said. “This will make a huge impression on them.”

Confidence is key when speaking with potential employers, Gaul continued. ”Have your infomercial ready,” he said. “Be able to walk up and tell your story.”

Another key aspect, Gaul said, is to find out if companies are interviewing the next day and ask if there is a chance to get on their schedule.

CALS Career Day kicks off recruitment season for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. ”If you miss out on this day, you are missing out on a phenomenal opportunity to jumpstart your career here at Iowa State,” Gaul said.

Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack speaks Sunday about his support for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during the Central Iowa Fall Barbecue at the Jeff and Deb Hansen Agriculture Student Learning Center.

Dems grill Republican leaders at barbecue

By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com Iowa Democrats gathered Sunday in Ames to rally support for candidates less than a month before Election Day, but also jabbed at Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump as the fallout continues from a leaked video over the weekend.

The “Central Iowa Fall Barbecue in the Barn” brought Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack back to the state. Vilsack, the featured speaker, was introduced by State Sen. Herman Quirmbach, D-Ames, at the Jeff and Deb Hansen Agriculture Student Learning Center.

Quirmbach was the first to jab at Trump as the state senator bashed the GOP presidential nominee on “going bankrupt six times” and the possibility of Trump not paying his federal income taxes for the past 18 years, saying, “that level of success, this country can’t afford.”

“You and I pay our fair share, but not Donald the Moocher,” Quirmbach said while also calling Trump a “freeloader and sponge.”

Quirmbach brought up a video from 2005 that surfaced over the weekend of the candidate making lewd comments in reference to women, saying he could grab them because “when you’re a star, they let you do it.”

“I thought about these things, but then the tapes were released on Friday, you’ve all seen them,” Quirmbach said. “There’s just one question I’d like Chuck Grassley to answer ... do you still think Donald Trump is worthy of the office of President of the United States?”

Quirmbach also said he’d ask these questions to Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and “every Republican and candidate in office.”

Vilsack, a former governor of Iowa, followed Quirmbach and was met by a standing crowd of Democrats.

“I know a little something about this state, and I know a little something about what’s important for our state,” Vilsack said, citing concern for the Iowa Board of Regents under Branstad.

He said it is “unfortunate the Board of Regents is not getting the attention or resources they deserve,” a slam at inadequate education funding for the regent universities.

Kim Weaver, the Democratic candidate for Iowa’s 4th District, later backed Vilsack’s concern on education funding, saying that most students and families cannot afford college.

Weaver said she “deeply believes” that students who have the drive and ability to succeed

EXPO Event informs participants about pork industry in Iowa, United States

By Abby.Kennon @iowastatedaily.com Many participants woke up Saturday and smelled the bacon during the fourth annual Bacon Expo, which was hosted by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

The Bacon Expo first started four years ago when the idea was cooked up by an Iowa State student in the College of Agriculture, and the expo grew into an educational, fun and familyfocused event.

Some aspects the event focuses on each year are where pork comes from, how it’s produced and why Iowa is No. 1 in pork production for the United States.

Every year, the planning process for the next expo starts in January. This allows plenty of time to call vendors, make arrangements and plan an even bigger and better expo for the upcoming fall.

Where does the bacon come from?

Everywhere, said Tayler Etzel, general co-chair and communications for the Bacon Expo.

“The bacon that we use comes from all over ... it depends on the vendor,” Etzel said.

There are health factors that come with the pork that is brought in.

U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, is running against Democrat Patty Judge for a seat in the U.S. Senate. Judge trailed Grassley by about three points as of Sunday, according to RealClearPolitics. Another local election in the state is between U.S. Rep. Steve King and Democrat Kim Weaver.

A visitor of the fourth annual Bacon Expo gets her face painted Saturday at the Jeff and Deb Hansen Agriculture Student Learning Center. The Bacon Expo taught participants about the pork production in Iowa.

Strict recommendations and regulations must be followed with the preparation and handling of the bacon.

“It’s brought into the ISU dining halls and we prepare, package and maintain all the bacon by hand,” Etzel said. “We have a great team on hand to help out.”

John Armstrong is the second general co-chair for the event, and along with Etzel, makes up part of the executive team of 28 people. An overall team of 120 students help make the Bacon Expo possible.

When it comes to the variety of tasty bacon treats that are available, the creations are entirely dependent on the vendor. The vendors tend to get creative with what they serve to the crowd.

Some variations of the bacon include chocolatecovered bacon, bacon cupcakes and more.

For many people who attend the Bacon Expo, the No. 1 thing to do is to taste and see the endless amounts of bacon. But various educational factors also are incorporated

to educate the crowds of all ages.

One of the new activities featured at this year’s expo was the Piglet Pen. Children were able to herd their own “pigs” around the pen. The pigs were made up of pink balloons and had decorative faces.

Other booths and activities that were available for the public to enjoy included bacon bingo, live entertainment, a best oink contest, a bacon-eating contest, kid-friendly activities and a live display of 3- to 4-week-old pigs.

ISU department ranked No.1 Ag, biosystems engineering tops report

By Haley.Knudsen @iowastatedaily.com The agricultural and biosystems engineering department was ranked No. 1 in the country by U.S. News and World Report’s 2017 “Best Colleges.”

The department, jointly administered by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the College of Engineering, tied with Purdue University for the top ranking.

Steven Mickelson, department chair, credits new facilities and the growth in undergraduate and graduate students to the No. 1 ranking.

The department had a 46 percent increase in undergraduate students and a 25 percent increase in graduate students in the last 5 years.

“We have always been ranked in the top 10, but the

U.S. News and World Report ranked the Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering department No. 1 in its 2017 “Best Colleges.” The department is jointly administered by the College of Ag and Life Sciences and College of Engineering.

reason why we are moving up [in the rankings] is because of the new facility,” Mickelson said.

The $107 million facility, Elings Hall, Sukup Hall and the Biorenewables Research Laboratory, constructed in 2014, offers state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories.

The new facility has allowed for collaboration between the Center for Industrial Research and Service and the university for industrial research. This summer, money from the Iowa Economic Develop-

ment Authority and federal and Iowa State University funding was used toward the purchase of a 3-D metal printer and other technologies to contribute to students’ education.

Iowa State also acquired a state-of-the-art water flume that simulates streamflow to assist in crop research.

“These two new pieces of technology are used for teaching and learning that gives great experience to help [students] with jobs and research,” Mickelson said. “Students are getting exposed as sophomores to

this technology.”

Mickelson also emphasizes the importance of hands-on learning experiences in the classroom.

Hands-on learning curriculum classes account for 38 percent of all classes in the department.

“Hiring high-quality faculty, getting the right people on the bus to being with is what makes this department great,” Mickelson said.

Moving forward, Mickelson wants to see the graduate program, which is currently ranked No. 2 by the U.S. News and World Report, be ranked first in the nation. The undergraduate program is tied with Purdue University.

The agricultural and biosystems engineering department undergraduate program is the first Iowa State department to be ranked No. 1.

“Our faculty and staff are thrilled with this ranking,” Mickelson said. “It’s funny because [our goal of] being ranked No. 1 started off as a cliché — everyone wants to be No. 1 — but now we can actually say we are No. 1.”

With the national election dominating the majority of headlines, it can be easy for voters to lose track of the other elections happening right in their own towns or counties.

Local elections are vital in communities and can make or break a town or district for years to come.

In a district as large as Story County, the members elected to represent the population can cast a light on the values and issues that the population hold as a whole.

U.S. Rep. Steve King, who is a seven-term Republican incumbent, is up for re-election this election cycle. King is up against Democratic candidate Kim Weaver.

A U.S. Representative is responsible for representing the people of their district in Congress, and drafting and voting on pieces of legislation with the people in mind.

Although he is an incumbent, King has come under fire in the past, and again during his current term for controversial comments made by the U.S. representative.

More recently, King was questioned for his comments on MSNBC when he asked, “… Did any other subgroup of people [other than whites] contribute to civilization?”

Despite quotes like this, King still holds a great majority of support within his 4th Congressional District.

Weaver acknowledges that she has a fight ahead of her against King but argues common sense and respect in her campaign strategies. This is Weaver’s first time running for an elected office.

“Issues that are important to our livelihood … have been ignored and replaced with partisan grandstanding,” Weaver said on her official campaign website.

Similar to King, incumbent Republican Chuck Grassley is up for re-elec-

tion in the U.S. Senate and is being challenged

by Democratic candidate Patty Judge.

A U.S. senator represents the entire population of a state and votes and drafts new laws or bills with their state in mind.

Before serving in the Senate, Grassley was a member of the House of Representatives for six years. Judge served in the Iowa Senate for two terms, beginning in 1992.

While both candidates hold a loyal groups of supporters, Judge trails Grassley by about three points as of Oct. 9, according to RealClearPolitics.

Democratic Sen. Herman Quirmbach has served for Iowa’s 23rd District since 2003. Before his current position, he served on the Ames City Council for eight years. He also is currently an associate professor of economics at Iowa State.

A state senator is in charge of identifying new laws that need to be passed, networking with groups to gain support for new legislation and introducing the idea to the entire Senate. Each senator serves on a committee to review proposed legislation.

Beth Wessel-Kroeschell, D-Ames, currently represents District 45 and is up for re-election. She is running against Republican Sondra Childs-Smith and Libertarian Eric Cooper.

A state representative researches proposed changes to state laws, offers modifications, passes bills into laws and often meets face to face with the people they are representing. The meetings may help representatives come up with new ideas for bills or laws.

Local school board isn’t up for election this year, however Story County Supervisors is.

Election Day 2016 is Tuesday, Nov. 8. However, early Iowa voting has already began. Voters can also register if they have not yet done so.

Runners, tail waggers take on IronDog Fun Run

By Nic.Wackerly @iowastatedaily.com As a layer of fog sat over the lake at Ada Hayden Heritage Park on Saturday, runners prepared to start the fourth annual IronDog 5K Fun Run. Some runners were bundled up on the brisk morning, but others tugged on their leashes and wagged their tails.

Iowa State’s College of Veterinary Medicine established its IronDog chapter in 2012. It models the original IronDog, which was established at Michigan State University.

Iowa State’s chapter uses

Nic Wackerly/Iowa State Daily

Participants bring their dog to the fourth annual IronDog 5K Fun Run on Saturday at Ada Hayden Park. The event raises money to help fund procedures and treatments at the ISU Veterinary Teaching HospitalI.

the money generated from the 5K and other donations to help fund procedures

and treatments at the Iowa State Veterinary Teaching Hospital, according to the

ISU IronDog website.

“The goal is to raise money to have enough funds to allow our clients who have pets that have undergone an injury or some sort of medical issue that is easily cured, but don’t necessarily have the funds to go through with physical procedures or treatments,” said Becca Hasak, a director of Iowa State IronDog 2016 and third-year student in veterinary medicine. “So that way we can assist them and give them some money to help afford the treatment so that it is no all coming out of their pocket.”

All proceeds from registration fees for the run go

to the ISU IronDog Fund, according to the ISU IronDog website.

“I saw it posted at [Ames Pet Resort] and read it was for a good cause, so I decided to come to support the dogs,” said Haley Trumpy, a participant who brought her 3-year-old dog Amelia.

For one family, attending the IronDog 5K was about more than supporting a good cause, because their dog, Jazzy, was one of the aid recipients from the ISU IronDog Fund.

Jazzy had been attacked by a fighting dog. She had her ear ripped off and her leg was cut down to the bone. They were quoted a bill between $5,000 and

$10,000. The ISU IronDog Fund helped finish paying the bill, said Amy Crow.

“The fund helped [Jazzy] tremendously,” Crow said, who traveled with her family, including Jazzy, from Hedrick, Iowa. “We got up at [4 a.m.] to be here.”

The total number of participants for the run was 117, and the event raised over $2,200 to go toward the fund, Hasak said.

Some ran, some walked and some were carried, but on Saturday, finishing the race first was not important to most. Instead, simply being able to contribute to the next success story of the ISU IronDog Fund was the prize for many.

Once a semester, CyServe Council holds CyServe Day, which allows students to give back to their community and campus without worrying about the logistics of volunteering.

Fall semester’s CyServe Day took place Saturday, and spring semester’s CyServe Day is scheduled to take place in April.

About 200 Iowa State students registered to help Saturday, along with eight executive board members and seven ambassadors who planned the event and its logistics.

Riley Dunbar, senior in public relations and the public relations director for CyServe Council, said CyServe Day gives students an opportunity to get out there, volunteer and do some good with their day.

“It’s really a great way to connect the campus and the students with the community and provide

community organizations for the group to bond while with the help they need,” helping out the Ames and Dunbar said.

Natalie Hanson, senior in biological systems engineering and co-president of CyServe Council, enjoys being on the council because it allows her to help other students volunteer, which is something she loves.

CyServe Council plans out all of the logistics for the event, including how to get the students to different locations.

“All you have to do is show up and we get you there,” Hanson said. “And then you get to do some really great community service, give back to Ames and Iowa State, and just have a really great day.”

Besides CyServe Day, CyServe Council also holds small monthly drop-in volunteer events such as decorating cards at the Memorial Union. For students who are unable to attend CyServe Day, the events are great ways for them to give back to the community.

Debate watch party attracts students

By Chris.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com Students gathered in Friley Hall on Sunday to watch the second presidential debate between candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

The Debate watch party was hosted by Friley Hall staff, the campus engagement organization, the Ames League of Women Voters and the Carrie Chapman Catt Center. The event also was part of a study done across multiple universities where students were encouraged to live tweet the debate using #ComDebate2. They also filled out a survey postdebate.

But tweeting was not the only way students showed their interest during the event. Students showed their reactions through laugher and jeers whenever an interesting top-

LEATH p1 back to the university in an interim [CIO IT] position,” Leath said. “During those discussions, Jim [Kurtenbach] realized he was going to come back and have some flexibility in the fall.

“And [he] asked me if we wanted to fly together and that [he] might be able to help me finish up the IFR training,” Leath said.

Kurtenbach was named interim CIO in Nov. 20, 2014, and the new role officially began on Jan. 1, 2015. Kurtenbach began at Iowa State in 1991 as a professor and was the associate dean in the College of Engineering from 2010 to 2013.

However, Leath said that because Kurtenbach would

ic was discussed. When Trump brought up Clinton’s emails, the crowd let out an “ooh!”

Multiple organizations, including the Story County Democratic Party, were also present at the watch party in an effort to register voters.

Both candidates entered the debate facing scandals that could hurt their chances of becoming president. Trump has received a lot of media attention recently because of the uncovering of audio recordings in which he talked about groping women among other things many are calling sexist and demeaning.

“I think that I have always been ashamed that that’s the language that has been used,” said Megan Koppenhafer, senior in environmental science.

Many students like Koppenhafer seem to be disappointed in the language

being used in the election.

One student, however, thinks a lot of the controversy may be overblown.

“I kind of took it as him being a billionaire playboy,” said Benjamin Whittington, freshman in political science and supporter of Trump. “That’s the world he lived in. It’s in the context of him being a billionaire … it does matter, but at the same time, it was 11 years ago.”

Although it may not have garnered as much controversy as Trump’s audio recordings, Clinton did not enter the debate on a clean slate.

During the primaries, Clinton came under fire for not releasing the transcripts of her paid speeches to Goldman Sachs and other financial firms, which took place behind closed doors.

The transcripts of those speeches recently became available on the website

WikiLeaks.

“It’s about time we get some transparency,” Whittington said.

Like many other students, Whittington also believed the seriousness of these statements was overblown.

Students in the room seemed to favor Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. At a discussion after the event, all but one student thought Clinton won the debate.

“I think they both did pretty well, although Hillary Clinton probably won,” said Anthony Sillman, freshman in biology.

At the discussion after the event, students willing to stick around were encouraged to discuss the debate.

Students shared their feelings on topics from who they thought won the debate to whether they thought the debate was well moderated.

be coming back to a fulltime Iowa State position, they came to the conclusion that Kurtenbach probably shouldn’t be his flight instructor once he returned.

“So he came back, [and his] first day in the office I believe was Jan. 4, in the interim CIO role,” Leath said.

“I took my last lesson with him about [Jan. 10] and have not taken another lesson with him ever since.

“I took lessons through him for less than 90 days.”

Kurtenbach is licensed as a flight instructor for “airplane single and multiengine instrument airplane” and has been a licensed pilot since 2005. Leath was most recently issued his private pilot’s license on Jan. 14, 2015, according to the Fed-

eral Aviation Administration website.

There have also been questions about Kurtenbach being hired into a permanent CIO position without a formal job search by the university. Iowa State announced Kurtenbach would have the “interim” removed from his title on March 24, 2016, and the permanent position began July 1, 2016.

Leath said that at the time of the hiring and lessons, the interim CIO position did not report to him and that he wasn’t involved in the negotiations to bring him back to Iowa State.

After the restructuring of administration earlier this year, Kurtenbach and his department now report to Leath. Kurtenbach is in

charge of searching for and implementing a new enterprise resource planning system, which is software that will affect many university stakeholders.

The university’s switch to a new cloud-based ERP system will cost the university an estimated $25 to $40 million that Leath said will bring improvements to Iowa State in areas including storage and security.

“It’s the biggest fundamental change in our administrative area in more than 20 years,” Leath said.

“I felt that needed to report directly to me because it affects everything from student life to finances to everything we do.”

Columnist Niehaus argues that by celebrating Columbus Day, the United States celebrates a murderer, and acts like reservations and casinos are an adequate compensation for the millions of natives who lost their lives through the domino effect caused by Christopher Columbus.

Happy Columbus Day! An Oxymoron We live in a country where we continue to celebrate a murderer

By Jazz.Niehaus @iowastatedaily.com

O

xymorons are one of my favorite literary devices. Some of my favorites include Hells Angels, act naturally and Microsoft works. But the oxymoron that trumps all has to be ”Happy Columbus Day.” Growing up in the United States, we all know Christopher Columbus as the man who quote-unquote discovered North America. We all grew up knowing the age-old rhyme, “In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” Although our home turf of Iowa does not observe Columbus Day, many states around the nation continue to close post offices for a glorified murderer.

The truth of Columbus is a bit more grim than we were ever told.

The fact of the matter is Columbus got lost looking for India and stumbled onto what we know now as the Bahamas. He did not discover North America. In fact, he never even set foot on North American soil.

In the Bahamas, he met and made friends with the Lucayan natives who he later betrayed on his second visit back to the “New World.” Upon

arriving on his second visit, he demanded food, gold and to have sex with the native women. When the natives refused, he mutilated their bodies.

Eventually, the Lucayan people rebelled, and Columbus took this as a chance to declare a white man’s war on primitive people. As you may have guessed, this was a very short war.

When Columbus didn’t have enough gold to return home, he decided to take 500 natives with him to sell into slavery. Two hundred of them died on the journey home. Five hundred more of them were kept as slaves in the New World to take care of Columbus’s men.

Soon, Columbus’s men took up hunting the native people for sport and used their remains as dog food.

Eventually, girls as young as 9 were sold into sex slavery, and white men’s diseases such as smallpox continued to take out native people.

The estimated deaths in total from post-Columbian disease and starvation, brought to you by a man with a federal holiday? An approximate 3 to 5 million people, according to “A People’s History of the United States” by Howard Zinn. That’s the entire population of Iowa and then some.

By now you’re probably asking yourself, why are we celebrating a murderer who never stepped foot on North America? In 1937, Franklin D. Roosevelt was pressured by the lobbying of the Knights of Columbus —

a catholic, men’s, fraternal benefits organization — to make Columbus Day a national holiday. And they got their way, as most white men in government do.

Today, most people know Columbus Day as “why is the post office closed?” But Columbus Day to the natives of North America is a dark, haunting day of genocide. No days celebrate Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini or Josef Stalin, but we continue to live in a country where we celebrate a murderer. We act as though reservations and casinos are an adequate compensation for the millions of native lives lost through the domino effect caused by Columbus.

Columbus Day is not the only way we continue to spit on the native people of the United States. Sports teams across the United States continue to wear the names of tribes and even slurs of the Native Americans. The Redskins, the Scalpers, the Braves. Are you noticing a trend here? Fashion too has continued to make a mockery of their culture.

White girls in headdresses at Coachella? Please, make it stop.

No suitable apology to the indigenous people of our home land exists.

But the atrocity we have known for decades as Columbus Day is slowly beginning to end. Recently, in states and cities across the United States, Columbus Day has been replaced with indigenous people day, a small salute to the millions of lives lost and the pain millions continue to feel.

The Mandela Effect

By Beth.Woodruff @iowastatedaily.com The Mandela Effect is a relatively new conspiracy theory that attempts to explain why humans often believe in events or memories that never happened.

I’m talking about how we all remember our beloved Berenstain Bears storybooks from childhood as the Berenstein Bears, or how we can easily recall the “Looney Tunes” logo spelled “Looney Toons.” So what makes our brains so susceptible to false memory?

Fiona Broome, the woman responsible for developing the Mandela Effect, said it is a result of our bodies sliding between the many realities of the universe. Broome has spent time researching paranormal activity since the 1980s and has published much of her work on her website, especially that concerned with the Mandela Effect.

The whole theory was constructed when Broome was at a comic convention and struck up a conversation with an individual. The conversation, oddly enough, was about Nelson Mandela, with both believing he had died in a South African prison

in the 1980s. Not only did the two firmly believe he died, but Broome recalled footage of the funeral.

On Broome’s website, more than 150 commenters chimed in with their memories of Mandela’s false death. Despite all of the coinciding memories, Mandela actually died in 2013.

Broome’s website lists many of the false memories people now associate with the Mandela Effect. Some people believe the Jif brand of peanut butter was called Jiffy, which has never happened; and others believed Curious George had a tail, when in fact he never has.

While it’s strange that so many people have the same false memories about reality, the phenomenon is explainable by modern science.

Lawrence Patihis, from the University of California, conducted a study to research the strange occurrences of false memories that many individuals believe. During the study, participants were divided into two groups — those with aboveaverage memory and those with normal memory function.

To test the two groups, participants were told about the terrorist attacks on 9/11. During

that time, Patihis casually mentioned the footage that caught the plane crash of Flight 93, but the footage has never existed.

In the above average and average memory groups, about 1 in 5 individuals said they remembered the footage of Flight 93’s crash. Not only did they claim they remembered it, but they explained the emotions they felt while watching the video.

Patihis’ experiment continued on to explain other ways the human memory can “create” an event. Oftentimes when you hear a story frequently, you can come to believe it. For example, go back to the Berenstain Bears. If our parents constantly read the name as Berenstein, it would be logical that we would grow up pronouncing and spelling the name wrong.

The BBC has also taken an interest in studying false memories of people. Being an easy experiment to replicate, I decided to try. Read a list of words with a similar association to each other to a friend, such as bed, rest, tired, dream, wake, pil-

CONS

ken/Iow a

State

Daily low, blanket, snooze, doze, slumber, yawn and drowsy. Then ask them to repeat any words they remember. According to the BBC, the person will often say sleep, or something similar, despite it not being a listed word.

When I tried this out on my roommates, two out of the three said sleep was one of the listed words, meaning they created a false memory despite being given the same test and conditions.

Don’t believe me? Give it a try.

While the Mandela Effect is an intriguing concept to try and explain false memories, it holds little validity. Based on how easily the mind creates false memories, it is very probable that large groups of people would hold similar beliefs based on the environment they were tested in.

The second presidential debate began as confrontative and fiery as the last ended. Expertly moderated by Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz, Sunday night’s debate became, in many ways, a repeat of the first.

With Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump bringing up tired soundbites and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton falling back on her political experience, this unusual and hostile election does not show any signs of slowing down.

In many ways, no one came away from this debate the winner. It was, in fact, the American people who lost. The United States is still beset by a presidential race that is neither based off policy nor issues, but on the lesser of two evils.

That being said, in what little of real debate there was, the ISD Editorial Board believes that Hillary Clinton, once again, walked away the victor.

Trump began this debate absent his usually aggressive, piss-and-vinegar demeanor. And while his energy and attitude seemed to improve as the night went one, Trump seemed to cycle through sound bite arguments and, like last time, gave very little of anything resembling a straight answer.

Almost immediately, Trump received questions about his latest scandal: his 2005 comments that depicted the Republican candidate bragging about sexual assault. And while Trump seems to think that this “locker room talk” means very little when faced with his favorite talking point, ISIS, he failed to show the American public not only remorse, but a stance that showed anything other than complete disregard for severity of sexual assault and the power of words.

Clinton had no problem following. Doing the simple job of lumping in Trump’s comments with the other abhorrent things he has said about Hispanics, Muslims, Americans with disabilities and even Gold Star families, Clinton was able to again paint Trump as offensive and divisive.

Yet, Trump was able to redeem himself after missing Clinton’s achilles heel during the first debate. By highlighting Clinton’s email scandal again and again, Trump created an effective line of attack against the Democratic candidate. By painting Clinton as an untrustworthy, corrupt politician, Trump had the opportunity to use his status as a political outsider to his advantage.

That opportunity, however, was squandered as Trump’s impulsive, childlike demeanor took hold. Trump not only spent most of the night interrupting Clinton but also turned his aggression toward the moderators, passive-aggressively accusing them of bias. At the same time, Trump shot himself in the foot by distancing himself from his running mate and the winner of the vice presidential debate, Mike Pence.

While both candidates failed, as they have time and time again, to adequately exhibit their policies and plans, Clinton was really the only candidate to seem remotely presidential. The way she presented her résumé was enough to rebut Trump’s scattered and disorganized arguments. And while the lesser of two evils should not be good enough for the American people, the fact of the matter is that Clinton has more political and rhetorical prowess than Trump.

Iowa State focuses on finishing games

By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s feeling after Saturday night’s 38-31 loss to Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Oklahoma, surely wasn’t a new one.

A week after blowing a fourth quarter lead to then-No. 13 Baylor, the Cyclones blew another lead, although in a bit bigger fashion. Leading 3114 midway through the third quarter, Iowa State couldn’t stop the Cowboys’ late-game offensive surge, allowing 24 unanswered points.

Although the outcome hasn’t turned out in the Cyclones’ favor, the fact that they are even in a position to win against two of the Big 12’s best would’ve been something hard to see just a few weeks ago after a 42-3 loss to Iowa. The loss is frustrating, but it’s part of coach Matt Campbell’s process that he has continuously stressed under his 11-month tenure.

“We had opportunities to make plays but we didn’t,” Campbell said after the game. “It was a gutsy performance by our football team. But we’ve got to learn how to finish.

That’s part of what we’re doing and where we’re going.”

Both games involved meltdowns in the last quarter of the game. Against Baylor last weekend, Iowa State’s offense put up 7

total yards in the final 15 minutes and punted the ball three times.

It was a similar tale against Oklahoma State on Saturday, as Iowa State blew a 31-14 lead in the last quarter and a half and only put up 23 total yards in the fourth quarter.

“We’ve got to figure out a way to maintain and not take the foot off the pedal and keep playing football,” Iowa State quarterback Joel Lanning told the Des Moines Register.

Campbell said the outcome of the game shouldn’t come down to one drive or one call. The Cyclones shouldn’t keep it that close after leading by a couple scores or more, Campbell said.

The lead should rest in the hands of the team’s best players — guys like Lanning, Jacob Park and Allen Lazard on offense, and Demond Tucker and Kamari Cotton-Moya on defense.

“We’re not talking schematics, we’re talking about finishing,” Campbell said.

“Those are players that if they didn’t make the plays throughout the football game, we wouldn’t have been in that spot either.

Those are guys that we believe in.”

Park threw an interception in the fourth quarter when the game was tied at 31-31 and the offense mustered only 8 yards on the ground. That’s going to have to change when

Iowa State quarterback Jacob Park looks downfield for a wide receiver during Iowa State’s football game against Oklahoma State on Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium. The Cyclones blew a 31-14 lead in the third quarter in their 34-31 loss against the Cowboys.

Iowa State is in a position to win, Campbell said.

“The feeling was the lack of execution down the stretch,” Campbell said. “I mean, jeez, we have kids open on 3rd down and we don’t catch the football.

Some detail things that are lacking when we need them the most. I think

that’s where we’re at. The belief of we can play with anyone is there, it’s just how do we put the dagger in?”

Going forward, Campbell stressed the importance of using these two games as a chance to teach the players about what it takes to win big games.

He also said it was part of creating a “rock solid” foundation that it takes to turn around a recentlywoeful football program.

“Our kids could have tanked it when we lost to Northern Iowa,” Campbell said. “They could’ve tanked it when we lost to Iowa. But they haven’t.

Our best players have got to step up and make plays.

That’s the difference between winning and losing.

And we’re talking about a matter of inches now, right?

“The reality of it is we’ve got to continue to get better. We’ve got to take games like this.”

Soccer shows energy despite scoreless two-game stretch

By Rich.Stevens @iowastatedaily.com It isn’t a secret that Iowa State soccer (7-5-1, 1-3-1 Big 12) has struggled to find its offensive stride this season — it’s scored just one goal in Big 12 play.

On Friday night against TCU, the Cyclones fired the most shots they’ve had against a Big 12 opponent this season. The doubleovertime match ended in a 0-0 tie.

After a quick turnaround, the Iowa State found itself back in action against No. 3 West Virginia. This time, the Cyclones took the fewest shots they’ve had all season.

The Mountaineers shut out the Cyclones 2-0.

The two games were night and day of each other. Iowa State went from firing off its most shots in a game to its least in a span of 48 hours.

One thing that didn’t change was the team’s energy level.

Coach Tony Minatta has been emphasizing oneon-one battles among the players over the last couple of weeks. The increased focus has brought an increase in energy. Players are stepping up and making bigger plays on the ball.

“It just seems like every game, someone else

is stepping up,” Minatta said. “It’s just a matter of rewarding the players that show it more often with extra playing time. We let them know that this is our expectation.”

Friday’s game against TCU showcased an entire backline worth of high energy. The defense played a stout 110 minutes to lead the team to its seventh shutout of the year, one shy of the school record.

“We had been struggling lately with communicating,” said junior goalkeeper Lindsey Hendon. “I think [Friday] was a good time to bounce back with such a good offense coming at us.”

Iowa State managed to fire 22 shots.

On Sunday, Iowa State only launched five shots against a top-ranked West Virginia team.

Despite the dismal offensive performance, Minatta liked the energy he saw across the entire field.

Usually lining up in a 4-4-2 — four defenders, four midfielders and two forwards — Minatta made the decision to throw a 4-5-1 at the Mountaineers to start the game. At halftime, another change to a 4-3-3 helped Iowa State keep possession a little bit more.

Minatta pointed out freshmen Anna Frerichs and Marin Daniel, as well

as sophomore Klasey Medelberg, as reasons for the change.

“Daniel and Frerichs were playing with such high energy, and I wanted to keep that going,” Minatta said. “Having Medelberg out there, we were able to set more of a pace. We felt that giving Klasey the opportunity would allow her to stretch the defense and give us a better attack.”

Medelberg didn’t actually record a shot, but her speed and ability to take Canadian Olympian Kadeisha Buchanan oneon-one opened opportunities for the rest of the team.

Considering West Virginia is the best team in conference, and a good bet for the No. 1 ranking after this weekend of play, the Cyclones seemed hesitant in the opening minutes.

That faded quickly, and was even nonexistent in the second half.

“That second half, we knew we could play with them,” Medelberg said.

“We had more confidence and energy to go forward.

Coach Minatta always says to turn and go at the defense. So I did” Minatta has been incorporating one-on-one drills into every aspect of practice and pregame that he can. And it is paying dividends in the players’ energy levels on the field.

Practicing in a four-lane pool with 10 to 12 people in a lane can be difficult for any swimmer to hone their skills, but for Ali Basel, this was a normal facility growing up.

Basel is a fresh face to the Iowa State swim squad.

From Johannesburg, South Africa, Basel is adjusting to life in the United States, but learning American customs is quite different from her life at home.

Since she was 8 years old, Basel attended a private, all-girls school until she graduated. This was normal for her, as most schools in South Africa are separated by gender, but parents also have the option to send their children to co-ed, usually government schools.

“I liked going to an allgirls school because we focus and they don’t want boys to irritate you,” Basel said through a smile. “But I find in a lecture [at Iowa State], any little thing can distract you.”

While schools in South Africa don’t have credits or GPAs, students strive for As. The grading is a lot different than in the United State, which is another hoop international athletes have to jump through.

“It’s how the NCAA sees the countries and certifies the student-athlete,” said Kelly Nordell, assistant swim coach. “They can get admitted to Iowa State, but the NCAA may say, ‘Well, you’re not certified.’ … The NCAA has their own set of rules as far as academics.”

Basel is a native English speaker, which made the process to come to Iowa State easier for her. Other international students must take the TOEFL exam, which measures a student’s ability to use and understand the English language at a university level.

The academic calendar also is different from the United States. Schools in South Africa go from January to December, which proved to be a bit difficult when it came time to transition to American college.

After graduating from high school in December,

Jackie Norman/Iowa State Daily

The Iowa State swimming and diving team competes against Nebraska on Saturday at Beyer Hall. The Cyclones lost the meet 195-101.

Basel had to wait more than six months before getting back into schooling in the U.S. system. Nordell said it was tough for Basel to get back into the swing of things after such a long break, but she is adjusting well.

Basel grew up playing field hockey and dancing, but getting into swimming wasn’t difficult. While her parents initially taught Basel how to swim, they never forced her into competing.

Basel said it was her choice to carry on.

At 16-years-old, Basel knew she wanted to continue her swim career past high school, so she started looking at schools.

Basel added the help of a recruiting agency at home that put her in touch with Nordell. Basel’s club coach knew Nordell from her time as assistant swim coach at the University of Nebraska, where he swam in college.

“I really got comfortable with Kelly,” Basel said.

“Then the team started messaging me and I was really excited. You know when you feel like it’s the right place to be? That’s what it felt like, compared to everywhere else that I had spoken to.”

Wyoming and Long Island University-Brooklyn also were on Basel’s radar, but Nordell locked in Basel to the Cyclone squad. Nordell thinks she and Basel developed a good relationship. She and head swim coach Duane Sorenson often talked to Basel and her parents via Skype.

“I think they got a good

sense of who Duane and I are and what we represent,” Nordell said.

Nordell noted that making someone feel wanted and become a part of a competitive team can really cinch a recruit.

Just like with anyone traveling to a new place, taking a step out of a comfort zone in a new country always presents a safety concern.

Basel’s parents had been to the States before, visiting New York and San Diego, but having their daughter thousands of miles away in an environment they hadn’t experienced was nerve-racking for them.

“Her parents flew over with her and they were just absolutely amazed at the environment in Ames,” Nordell said. “The friendliness, even the people at Target, how friendly they are, the safety and positive energy really had a huge impact.”

Basel always knew she wanted to come to the United States. The networking, opportunities and facilities drew her in.

“We don’t have this sort of stuff, let alone one pool like [Beyer], not even at a [university],” Basel said. “I wasn’t quite picky where I went.”

Having access to a weight room, or a pool whenever needed, academic tutors, and nutrition facilities all seemed foreign to Basel.

“Her perspective, as well as some of the other [international student-athletes], is like, ‘Wow, you should see where I came from,’” Nordell said.

Starks eager to return after injury

By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com While Iowa State women’s basketball was celebrating an in-state rivalry win against Iowa on Dec. 11, 2015, guard TeeTee Starks was deciding to end her season early because of an injury.

Now fully healthy, Starks is ready to make an impact on the squad heading into the 2016-17 season.

Starks had season-ending surgery last season to repair articular cartilage damage on her left knee.

Even though the process was tough for Starks, she thinks the injury happened for a reason and has built her into a stronger and better person and player.

“You hate it as a coach to see one of your players go down so early in a season and never return,” said coach Bill Fennelly.

“Especially TeeTee [Starks], because she works hard, does everything she’s told and is willing to do anything to help the team win.

“You hate losing those kind of players in a season.”

Starks is a recruit from Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, who played at Hopkins High School. She played in nine games during her freshman year before having surgery and showed her effectiveness, leading the team in assists per game.

She knew that surgery was needed for this particular chronic knee pain, so

Iowa State guard TeeTee Starks guards her opponent against Iowa on Dec. 11, 2015, at Hilton Coliseum. Starks was forced to shut down her 201516 season early after injuring her left knee, which forced her to have season-ending surgery to repair articular cartilage.

she decided to get it done during the season rather than after the season. She wanted enough time to recover fully and be able to practice with her teammates before hitting the court in November.

The hardest part for Starks during her injury was the fact that she wasn’t able to contribute to the team in any way besides cheering from the sideline.

Guard Seanna Johnson said Starks wants to compete and win for her team ev-

ery day, but because of the injury, she couldn’t physically do anything on the court.

The other hard part for Starks during the injury was the recovery process with physical therapy and daily exercises to strengthen her knee. She’s even doing more than what she used to in the weight room to maintain the strength of her knee.

“You have to take the recovery process in steps,” Starks said. “I know that

any player.

Not only does Fennelly have confidence in Starks playing any position on the court, but Johnson has seen significant improvement before and after her injury.

She has seen improvements in Starks’ skills and her leadership abilities by knowing the system at Iowa State.

“She’s pushing herself harder than ever before and it just shows how much she wants to become a better player,” Johnson said.

I have to work five times harder to get back to where I was and another five times harder to get better than where you were.”

Luckily for Starks, she received a medical redshirt, which means she has four more seasons of eligibility.

Starks could be a huge asset on the team with her size and skill.

Fennelly expects to see Starks playing the guard position on a consistent basis. With her size, he thinks she’s capable of guarding

“She’s worked extremely hard day in and day out.”

Now that Starks is back to 100 percent from the injury, the goal is to practice hard to prove she’s worthy of a starting spot and more minutes. Starks knows there are veterans on the team who will get playing time, but she hopes her versatility will translate into more minutes on the court at different positions.

Starks also wants to learn from guard Jadda Buckley and Johnson on seeing the court as a guard and improving her basketball terminology and IQ. The injury last season allowed Starks to watch the games more strategically and see how plays are formed on the court in a moments notice.

She’s excited to get the season going because she’s missed playing the game and has especially missed the Iowa State fans at Hilton Coliseum. The first day of practice started last Friday, but she’s counting down the days until the first game of the season on Nov. 6.

“It’s exciting to know we’re less than a month away from starting the season and I know I’m ready to play,” Starks said. “More importantly, I’m excited to actually be able to contribute to this team on the court and hopefully make this season memorable for not only my teammates and coaches, but for the Iowa State fans as well.”

Softball sweeps Kirkwood

Steven Leath said Friday he believes Big 12 expansion is “less likely.”

Leath says he feels Big 12 expansion is ‘less likely’

By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State President Steven Leath took a turn in his view on Big 12 expansion in a meeting with Iowa State Daily editors Friday, saying he felt it was “less likely.”

Leath added that he won’t know the chances for expansion until the Big 12 Board of Directors convene Oct. 17, but he felt they were “smaller.”

“There’s obviously some very different opinions among different schools,” Leath said. “I think when we get into a room [later in October] and talk about it, we’ll figure it out. To answer your question, I think the chances we expand are a little smaller than it was before.”

Leath’s comments Friday are noticeably different from his comments in August when he said his “expectation” was that expansion was likely.

“I think we’ll get there and I think you’ll see a probably different Big 12 in the somewhat near future,” Leath said in August.

There has been a recent turn in the chatter around the conference’s willingness to expand.

Oklahoma president David Boren said to ESPN in September it was “not a sure thing” that the Big 12 would add schools. Leath echoed that Friday, saying Oklahoma “has indicated less of a willingness to expand.”

The Big 12 Board of Directors are reportedly set to meet on Oct. 17.

It was a tale of two games for the Cyclones against Kirkwood on Saturday.

Iowa State’s offense led the way in game one, scoring 12 runs. In game two, Savannah Sanders’ pitching and the Cyclone defense carried the team to the win.

In game one, Iowa State exploded for six runs in the bottom of the second.

Kelsey McFarland hit a 3-run home run to put a stamp on the inning.

Iowa State also scored three runs in the third inning and two more in the fourth. The game ended 12-2 after three more scoreless innings.

Game two ended 5-2 after Iowa State scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth.

Five different Cyclones recorded multiple hits in game one, led by four hits from Logan Schaben and three from Rachel Hartman.

Freshman Sami Williams also had a big day, driving in three runs on two hits in game one. In game two, Williams added another hit and scored a run.

“I feel good,” Williams said. “It’s nice warming up

come together as a team. I could feel a difference between the first inning I took the mound and the last inning we played today.”

Williams echoed that sentiment. Even though Williams is a freshman, she noticed a huge difference between the start of fall practice and the end, which was a result of the new coaching staff.

“The improvement has been awesome,” Williams said. “We’re all just now getting used to the new coaches. What they’re trying to do with the program is so awesome. You can already see some of the changes.”

While the fall season may have ended on a high note, there is a lot of work to do as the spring season looms closer, Trachsel said.

“Each day is an investment day,” Trachsel said.

“We have a lot of work to do but we have some time to get it done. It’s really going to depend on how much [the players] care about their own improvement and development.”

duel, it was a total team effort and it really makes it a lot easier pitching when it’s that way.”

Williams was complimentary of the pitching staff after game two.

“It’s awesome knowing that we can trust our pitchers,” Williams said, “And that if the other team does hit the ball, it will just be ground balls right to us, pretty easy plays.”

Three of Kirkwood’s four runs on the day came in the first innings — two in the first inning of game one, and one run in the first inning of game two.

“I feel like I kind of got off to a rough start,” Sanders said. “I was glad I got a chance to stay in and push through it.”

Game two of the series was the final game of the fall season for Iowa State, which finished with five wins, two losses and a tie.

“There’s a lot more to do, but there was a lot of improvement [this fall],” Sanders said. “I think, more than anything, I saw us

in the fall, getting comfortable up to bat. “The second game, we didn’t do as well moving runners. The second pitcher was a lot different than the pitcher in the first game.”

In game one, all of Iowa State’s runs came in the first four innings.

“We stayed within our strike zone,” said coach Jamie Trachsel. “We challenged the defense and took advantage of extra bases, whether it was actually hitting them off the bat or backside runners advancing on throws to get ourselves in scoring position.”

Sanders was strong in game two, pitching all seven innings and allowing only two runs. She didn’t give up any walks and scattered just seven hits.

After losing 3-0 to Iowa in its last game, Iowa State’s offensive outburst in game one was a welcoming sight for the pitching staff.

“It was really good to know that you have that extra support,” Sanders said.

“It wasn’t just a pitcher’s

Monday, October 10, 2016 DEBATE p1

Professors gather to talk ancestors

By Robert.Roberson @iowastatedaily.com Debra Marquart and Neil Nakadate, both established local authors, discussed their ancestors during a presentation Saturday at the Author Cafe at the Ames Public Library.

Marquart, who directs the MFA program in Creative Writing and Environment, is the author of five books, including “The Hunger Bone: Rock & Roll Stories,” and three poetry collections, including her most recent book, “Small Buried Things.” Nakadate is an emeritus professor of English at Iowa State and the author of “Looking after Minidoka: An American Memoir.”

Marquart started the discussion by talking about her family and their Russian heritage. She said she’s from a place known as the Sauerkraut Triangle, a predominantly German-Russian area in North Dakota, and explained her family’s story.

Marquart began reading an excerpt from her essay collection titled “The Night We Landed on the Moon.” The excerpt was mainly about her journey discovering her family’s heritage in Russia. She shared pictures and other experiences with her travels.

One of Marquart’s experiences was becoming sick while traveling and being admitted to a Ukranian hospital.

“Which I do not recommend,”

Clinton countered Trump’s “apology” for the first time since the video surfaced, arguing that Trump is “not fit to be president and commander in chief.”

“Well, like everyone else, I spent a lot of time thinking over the last 48 hours about what we heard and saw,” Clinton said. “And he has said that the video doesn’t represent who he is. But I think it’s clear to anyone who heard it that it represents exactly what he is.”

The second presidential debate was held at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and was moderated by CNN’s Anderson Cooper and ABC’s Martha Raddatz.

The debate was set up town hall style, which allowed for the moderators and a selected number of individuals to ask the candidates questions.

As the debate began, particularly with the candidates skipping the customary hand shake, Clinton and Trump squared off in what became a night of interruptions and anger, where the two once again focused more on each other than policy.

Brushing off the allegations of sexual assault that Trump faced after the 2005 lewd video, he targeted the argument toward Clinton’s husband, Bill Clinton, who has also been at the center of allegations of sexual assault.

“If you look at Bill Clinton, far worse, mine are words, his was action. This is what he has done to women,” Trump said.

The first question: Behavior The debate began with a question from one of the voters, asking if the candidates feel they are modeling opposite and positive behavior for today’s youth.

Clinton said she feels there are concerns about some things that have been said and done during the campaign and that she believes it is “very important for us to make clear to our children that our country really is great because we’re good.”

Trump in his answer said that he agrees with ev-

Marquart said in regard to her stay there.

Next, Nakadate spoke about the work that went into his book.

He explained how many times he would start and stop his book.

His book, “Looking After Minidoka: An American Memoir,” is about part of his family’s experience in America and the Japanese internment camp near Eden, Idaho, called Minidoka, and the other part’s experience in the military during World War II. His family would rarely talk about their experience, but when he would ask about people, sometimes they would say, “We first met them at camp.” They would initially change the subject right after mentioning the camp, Nakadate said.

His father was in the military during World War II working as a surgeon in the Army and was awarded with a Bronze Star, a Silver Star and a Purple Heart. He was at the Battle of the Bulge and got frost bite because he wouldn’t wear gloves while performing surgery on soldiers.

“I have no feeling in these fingers anymore,” he said to Nakadate.

Nakadate read a couple of poems from his book to give a feeling about it’s meaning.

When asked about what people can do to remember these atrocities, Nakadate talked about accepting it as reality and looking into it.

Looking into it allows you to see the “texture of people’s lives,” he said.

THE PERFECT MARRIAGE

should “not have the door shut in their face,” in regard to college.

Vilsack also discussed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, as a cutout of her stood right next to him on stage. “[I’m] here today to talk about my friend Hillary Clinton,” he said. “You folks have heard this before: ‘Folks, this is the most important election of our lifetime,’ [but] folks, this time I’m really serious. It’s the most important election of my lifetime.

“The future of our country, the future of our constitution, the very values of this country are at stake in this election.”

Vilsack touted Clinton’s

erything Clinton said, and then further directed his response to his feelings toward trade, the Iran Deal and the Affordable Care Act, shifting away from the question.

The state of health care Asking what the candidates will do to bring the cost of health down and make coverage better, Clinton said four things she feels are good about the Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare”: Insurance companies can’t deny coverage because of a preexisting condition, no lifetime limits, women won’t be charged more than men, and if you’re under 26, you can remain on your parents’ policies.

Trump, however, made it clear he is still vehemently opposed to the program and said he will appeal it, calling it as a disaster and saying it “will never work.”

“You’re going to have plans that are so good because we’re going to have some competition. Once we break out the lines and allow the competition to come.”

Islamophobia in the United States One voter asked the candidates how they would help Muslims deal with the consequences of being a threat to the country after the election is over, especially with Islamophobia on the rise.

“You’re right about Islamophobia, and that’s a shame,” Trump said. “One thing we have to do is we have to make sure that because there is a problem, whether we like it or not — and we could be very politically correct, but whether we like it or not, there is a problem and we have to be sure that Muslims come in and report when they see something going on.”

Trump also referred back to a common stance on Muslims, saying “radical Islamic terror” does exist and taking several hits at Clinton for

plan for infrastructure, which he said “is in desperate need of investment.”

“She has a plan to embrace what we all in Iowa understand the significance of,” Vilsak said. “She saw what we have done here and knows it can be replicated all across the country.”

And on Trump, Vilsak said he knows how hard the decisions of a president are, particularly those made in the Situation Room. He said Trump and his temperament cannot stand the pressure and that he can’t trust a president who believes he can “rely on his gut.”

“How safe does that make you feel?” Vilsack said. “I just want you to understand how significant this race is ...”

never uttering the phrase.

Clinton took a different approach to the question, saying she wants a country where all citizens, especially Muslims, are welcome just as everyone else.

Trump, who had been baited by the moderators and Clinton on several instances, also referenced his thoughts on a stance he had relied on quite heavily during his campaign earlier this year: A ban on Muslims.

“The Muslim ban is something that in some form has morphed into an extreme vetting,” Trump said.

On Syria and Aleppo Trump, in answering a question on Syria, revealed that he and running mate Pence do not agree on what to do and that they “haven’t spoken.”

Trump continued that he believes “we have to get ISIS. We have to worry about ISIS before we can get too much more involved.”

Clinton also weighed in, saying, “I would not use American ground forces in Syria. I think that would be a very serious mistake. I don’t think American troops should be holding territory, which is what they would have to do as an occupying force. I don’t think that is a smart strategy.”

The two also debated topics such as Trump’s tax returns, American minorities and the Supreme Court Justice seats that are and could become available going into the next four years.

A “positive thing” The two ended on civil notes, however, after a voter asked the two to name one positive thing about each other: “I respect his children,” Clinton said. “His children are incredibly able and devoted, and I think that says a lot about Donald.”

“I will say this about Hillary,” Trump said.

“She doesn’t quit. She doesn’t give up. I respect that. I tell it like it is. She is a fighter.”

The next presidential debate will take place Wednesday, Oct. 19 at the University of Nevada.

for “One Tree Hill” and “Chicago P.D.”, was a special guest at the event. She took the stage to encourage those in attendance to get excited for the election, along with taking a stance against Trump.

“What’s interesting to me is being in communities like this one ... and really hearing about what people’s lives are like,” Bush said. “I’m very struck by how the opposition is selling themselves ... when their candidate is taking money from people in communities like this one.”

Bush said that for her, it’s all record versus bluster, and Trump is all bluster.

“I know that it’s going to be a knock down, drag out fight ...” Bush said, adding she is optimistic on Clinton.

“She will beat [Trump] and she will beat him as a woman, making the victory twice as sweet,” Bush said.

Bush was in the Memorial Union for an early voting phone bank Sunday and is currently traveling across Iowa to campaign for Democrats.

The Iowa State University College Democrats was a sponsor of Sunday’s event, which hoped to rally collegeaged students to vote in November.

“When I look at Hillary Clinton, I actually see a lot of my mom ...,” said Taylor Blair, freshman in pre-industrial design, who introduced Bush. “Hillary’s been out there fighting for all of our families, breaking glass ceilings along the way.”
