ISEAGE competition

Students defend against hackers in latest cyber defense clash By Jake.Dalby @iowastatedaily.com With the click of a keyboard an entire city is left in the dark without access to power or water, all at the hands of a few computer savvy criminals. The company behind these systems, The Careless Distribution of Currents, was just one victim of the many hundreds of cyber attacks that affect businesses, homes and individual consumers every day. Despite the resemblance to a modern day news story, the company does not exist and the attacks that left citizens unable to turn on their lights never occurred. Instead, this story is the foundation for the 2016 ISEAGE ISU Cyber Defense Competition, a day-long, team-based event challenging students to secure vulnerable computer systems while fending off malicious hackers. Using the real world as a template for the competition, a scenario is created each year for the competing teams, which must complete specified objectives in order to secure valuable digital information. The event is divided into three teams: the blue team, student-led groups; the red team, security professionals within the industry whose sole focus is to disrupt the blue team’s progress; and the green team, members of “The Careles Distribution Center” who test the functionality of each team’s servers. The teams work in tandem to create a tug of war effect as each play an integral role in either the destruction of a team’s infrastructure or propel them into first place. New to this year’s ISEAGE event, which took place Saturday, was the addition of new cyber-physical challenges in the form of power and water systems that require constant attention from competitors. “Normally at ISEAGE you have a fake company and their website and services, which it provides to employees and customers,” said Keane O’Kelley, graduate in electrical and computer engineering and ISEAGE event director. ”With cyber-physical, the scenario is a power and water company, so not only are there website and file services, but in addition there’s pump stations, power relays, etc., which are all virtual in which students must secure.” O’Kelley sees these changes as integral toward teaching students the ins and outs of information assurance and creating the most accurate representation of a real-life scenario.

“This is important because nowadays everything is so connected in the real world — all of our water systems, power supplies and scada control systems are all on the internet,” O’Kelley said. ”This is not very safe usually, so this kind of emulates that and shows students that these things are horribly insecure by default and makes them go out of their way to make them safe.” In order to mirror this valued information and system control that entices hackers, virtual flags are created within each team’s services and network. Those who can protect their “flags” from being compromised and keep access to the web and other services online gain points, while those who lose flags to the red team hackers lose their points. To prepare for the continuous eighthour cyber attack on competition day, teams are given three weeks to create and secure their networks. During this time, many teams take advantage of weekly “lab jams,” where student experts can offer help to lingering questions that may be affecting a team’s progress. In a small room, soft electronic music drowns out the sound of hundreds of clicks and scrolls as teams prepare their systems and divide tasks among teammates. Among the 20 teams that competed at this years ISEAGE, Team Eleven and the Pink Unicorns had high hopes for their team’s chances at victory as each team had returning competitors as well as new teammates.

Thomas Kirby, junior in software engineering and member of Team Eleven, recalls his team’s focus on individual tasks a week from competition day while also helping a new member learn the ropes of cyber security. “At that point, we were working on a general setup, which was actually making the servers themselves, as well as creating firewalls and adding users,” Kirby said. ”Our new member, Jake, didn’t know exactly what he was doing but was asking questions on how

Testing centers make grade in accommodating more students By Emily.Schroer @iowastatedaily.com

Students hosted a vigil on campus Monday night to honor victims of police brutality.

Vigil brings healing By Jacey.Goetzman @iowastatedaily.com Attendees gathered in a small circle and held flameless candles on the south lawn of the Campanile on Wednesday night as they participated in a vigil hosted by the Black Campus Ministry. The vigil was a collective idea from members of the black community at Iowa State, held to bring about healing. “[You must] heal before you can move on,” said Fayth Turner, president of the Black Campus Ministry. The vigil began with a prayer by Chad Britten, of InterVarsity. A moment of silence for those who lost their lives due to police brutality and violence followed. After, people were encouraged to talk about the issues that weighed heavy on their hearts.

Among the issues, police brutality was a resounding concern. “These injustices are continuing,” said Julian Neely, vice president of the Black Student Alliance. “Police are not being held accountable.” Neely added that most people don’t want to believe police brutality could affect Iowa. To this, he referenced a policy of local police departments, saying that racial bias is only tested for once in the initial hiring process. According to Neely, it isn’t tested for again. “I know not all cops are bad. I know that not all cops are good,” Neely said, “[but] you could be reaching for a pencil [and then] pow,[you’re just] another hashtag.” In the face of these events, Malik Burton, president of the Black Student Alliance, encouraged attendees to

consider their roles within movements such as Black Lives Matter. “Your voice matters. You can make a difference,” Burton said. Joe Roberson, graduate in education, agreed. “It’s on us, every minute, every day, every second,” Roberson said. Another concern discussed was unity. Burton rallied members of the community to surpass pettiness as well as support and take pride in one another. He encouraged them to talk, express their feelings and be themselves. “We come together for the people who aren’t together,” a member said. In the fight against institutionalized racism, Neely said people must work to break down the system. “You cannot allow them to mute you,” Neely said.

VIGIL p4

With midterms causing overflows in the testing centers, Iowa State has made changes to a couple of the centers. Doug Bull, director of the testing centers, discussed the new upgrades to Carver 60 and Durham 139. Carver 60 tends to be the most popular, he said. He isn’t sure why this is, but thinks it could have something to do with location on campus, how long it has been there and that it’s more convenient for students to use. Carver 60 has had 22 seats added to the center to grow from 48 to 70. “[Carver] seems really crowded,” said Zeke Ramirez, senior in global resource systems. “Durham seems less crowded most of the time.” Bull said Gilman 2552 is starting to become more popular with students.

But some students who are using the centers agree with Bull, while some don’t. “Every time I go [to Gilman], there has been nobody,” Ramirez said. Emelia Belding, sophomore transfer student in history, talked about how she likes Gilman because it’s quiet.

De-stressing during midterms By ISD Special Sections With the arrival of midterms week, students are forced to balance studying for exams, homework and club meetings all at once. This week, Iowa State Daily’s special sections committee is focusing on ways to de-stress during this hectic week. 1. Take a break and jam out to music or watch a funny movie. It is impossible to get anything done if you are burnt out. Remember that you are

allowed to take a break and enjoy yourself for awhile. 2. Take a nap. Take that break a step further and give your mind a rest. After a short nap, you will be more likely to check things off your todo list. 3. Help others. Sometimes it can feel like nothing is being accomplished, but if you reach out to others and help them complete something, it can ease stress levels.

4. Make a list of my priorities and things to do and just sit down and get them done. Being organized is key when it comes to multitasking. If you make a list, you will feel accomplished when you can see your duties completed. 5. Call home. When life is overwhelming, it can be comforting to call your loved ones. A quick pep talk from mom, dad or the family dog could be all you need as motivation to power through the stressful week.

Nicci Port, project director for Diversity and Inclusion in LGBTQA+ Affairs, created the LGBTQA+ FSA in hopes to create more opportunities regarding career development.

LGBTQA+ FSA adds leadership By Nik.Heftman @iowastatedaily.com Twelve members of the LGBT Faculty and Staff Association expressed interest in a leadership role within the organization this year, the most the organization has ever had. In response to the growth in interest, the association has implemented what it calls a tri-chair system. “It provides an opportunity for folks who want to be in a leadership position to transition in and out,” said Kody Henke, hall director for the Department of Residence and co-chair of the LGBT FSA. “It creates consistency within the organization.” The LGBT FSA was created in 2004 by Nicci Port, the new project director for Diversity and Inclusion in LGBTQA+ Affairs, and a few comrades. The organization is composed of ISU faculty and staff who are members of, or supporters of, the LGBTQ+ community at Iowa State. It provides its members with opportunities for networking, career develop-

ment, socializing and becoming a bigger part of the ISU and Ames community. Henke has worked at Iowa State for three years. Although this is his first year with the Iowa State LGBT FSA, Henke was able to obtain one of three chair positions for the organization. Henke is the incoming chair, Port serves as the main chair and Taylor Shire, recruiter and international program coordinator for the College of Business, is the outgoing chair. “We found a new way for people to step up,” Port said. “We’ve made [leadership roles] assessable to others.” Port was recently selected to take on the role of project director for Diversity and Inclusion in LGBTQA Affairs, a new position at Iowa State that will aid in the effort to create an improved climate for inclusivity within the university. “Once we get up and running, we’re going to be working with other faculty and staff associations and the vice president for diversity and inclusion,” Port said. “We’ll be looking to broaden the sphere of problem solving with an interest in health benefits for those in the transgender community.”

Henke shared Port’s enthusiasm for the future. “One of our goals [is] in collaboration,” Henke said. “We’re so excited about opportunities for collaboration with this new position.” Henke saw the LGBT FSA as an opportunity to better serve students. After working in the residence halls at Iowa State, Henke found inspiration in knowing that he could be a positive influence for the students that he serves. “The Orlando shooting was reassuring, to me, of the importance of community in times of crisis,” Henke said. “My leadership position within the LGBT community hopefully shows that I’m someone that students can talk to.” Henke and Port said the Faculty and Staff Association hasn’t discussed the organization’s future plans as far as replacing her chair position, but the course will remain the same in regard to the association’s goals. “It’s not just about making Ames friendlier for LGBT folk,” Port said. “It’s about improving the climate for anybody who identifies as a minority.”

Fire prevention tip: Replace smoke alarms By Danielle.Gehr @iowastatedaily.com In the situation of a house fire, that smoke detector failing to sound an alarm could mean the difference between life an death. This week is Fire Prevention Week, giving fire departments across the country a chance to inform the public in an attempt to stop fires before they even happen. This year’s theme, chosen by the National Fire Prevention Association, is Don’t Wait – Check the Date! Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years. “Fires, for the most part, keep going down a little bit, and we accredit that to the fact that we are educating,” said Shift Commander Doug Allen, who has been with the Ames Fire Department for 18 years now. As fire stations began to see a correlation between deaths by fires in homes with and without working fire alarms, it became an issue that the National Fire Prevention Association began to really push. The last three fire safety week themes have been smoke detector related. According to the National Fire Protection Association Journal, nearly 40 percent of all deaths by home fires are in homes without working fire alarms. This week, the Ames Fire Department will send firefighters to all of the elementary schools in Ames and Northwood Preschool to teach fire safety in honor of Fire Prevention Week. The department also made sure to host an event to get the week

started. Fire Station No. 1 was filled Saturday with the sound of toy sirens and children in plastic red hats in order to kick off fire safety week. The event included games, prizes and tours of the fire station. “We wanted to make sure that the public knew that this is their fire station,” said Deputy Fire Chief Richard Higgins. “We are just fortunate enough to work here.” Along with a Stop, Drop and Roll station, station tours and a look inside a fire truck, one station was dedicated to smoke detectors. In addition to explaining the new standard of dual-sensor smoke detectors, the department displayed new technology. One smoke detector gave parents the ability to record their voices, so in the case of a fire, their child will be able to listen to their calm instructions rather than an unsettling alarm. Another had the ability to send a text message when smoke is detected. Higgins said in addition to replacing smoke detectors every 10 years, they should also be tested much more frequently, because in some cases, a smoke detector may need to be replaced much sooner. A handy rule of thumb is to check your smoke detectors during daylight savings time. That way, the devices are evaluated twice a year. Throughout the event, several station tours took place, giving the public a chance to see where the Ames fire fighters eat, sleep

and work during their 24-hour shifts. The best was saved for last on one station tour as Josh Bennett, a firefighter tasked with being the guide, opened the door to a small room so orange that it illuminated the next room. Inside was the notorious fireman’s pole that left several elementary-age children standing in awe. Higgins said these events and others methods of outreach in the community also work as recruitment. The hope is that the children who get to see the inner workings of a fire station will be inspired and grow up to want to take part in the profession. One special guest at the Station 1 fire station besides their mascot firehouse dog, Sparky, was one crucial member of the fire department who has been there longer than most of his colleagues at the department. His name is Freddie, and he is

a remote-control fire truck that has been with the department for about two decades. “The key really is to get kids to open up and not be scared of us. That’s kind of the main goal of Freddie,” said Jess Bappe, a firefighter with the Ames Fire Department. “If they are ever caught in a fire, we do not want them to hide from us.” Bappe had the honor of controlling Freddie during the event, and using a headset connected to Freddie, Bappe was able to give him a voice. The noise of his siren filled the room and added to the children’s excitement. The Ames department is adamant about showing that it is in the business of preventing fires. That is why community outreach is a priority at its department, and a firefighter’s job largely entails informing the public.

An outreach program through Iowa State’s department of kinesiology is aiming to get children in the Ames community to stay active during the upcoming winter months. The ExerCYse Time initiative allows kids to come to Iowa State and have fun with student-athletes and volunteers to teach them the importance of exercising year-round. The program is an extension of ExerCYse is Medicine, a studentrun organization that looks to extend the visibility of and educate the community on the importance of physical activity. The group was originally created by Iowa State graduate students with Greg Welk, professor of kinesiology, as a means of spreading their message throughout Ames. The student group also has partnered with the global initiative named Exercise is Medicine, or EIM. The initiative partners with various colleges around the country to spread the importance of exercise from a medical standpoint. It has awarded Iowa State with a bronze level of achievement of working with the program. Iowa State hopes to move up through its silver and gold levels in the near future. The ExerCYse Time program came into play after the group brainstormed ideas on how to help children in the area stay fit and active after it becomes too cold to play outside. With an availability to use the Forker Hall gym at Iowa State, the weekly initiative took off. “[The program] is important because it allows kids who either want to run around but have nowhere to do so, or kids who need the motivation to get active when it’s too cold outside to get a chance to have some fun in the winter,” said Emily Ruth, an ExerCYse is Medicine leader. The program, which takes place on Friday evenings, essentially lets the children run the show. “Whatever the kids want to do, we can usually do,” Ruth said. “There’s a lot of tag and ball games, [...] basically what they would probably play at recess.” Any family that is part of the Ames community is welcome to participate. No fees are involved, and parents only have to sign a waiver to allow their children to be involved during their first visit. Children and parents are welcome to come as many times as they want now until the end of February. “Kids love getting attention from college kids and athletes, too,” Ruth said. “So it’s a lot of fun.” Iowa State students are encouraged to get involved with the program as well. Students do not need to study kinesiology or be an athlete to participate. The organization is free to join and holds regular meetings to gain more information. Events through ExerCYse is Medicine are posted online. ExerCYse Time annually runs during the colder months of the year, but there are various other events throughout the year for the Ames community to get involved in. The student organization also holds events such as community bike rides and hiking during the warmer months. Another long-term initiative, called VERB, is also held during the summer. It has similar goals to ExerCYse Time, but also gives children involved rewards for being active at home or attending special events. Children in kindergarten through eighth grade can attend ExerCYse Time from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Forker gymnasium, room 184. Every staff member has gone through background checks, so parents do not need to be present, but they are welcome to stay with their children if they wish.

ISEAGE p1 things work and we were helping him through that.” Team Eleven’s newest member, Jake Helgerson, senior in agronomy, competed in his first ever ISEAGE competition this year, which was an experience he found challenging but rewarding. “The actual competition was a blast but confusing, as I’ve never had any experience with cyber security,” Helgerson said. ”However, the group itself did an excellent job in teaching me. It’s a lot like throwing you in the deep end and forcing you to swim, but they give you many opportunities to fail before the event date.” Isaac Tegeler, sophomore in computer engineering and member of the Pink Unicorns, had a much different experience during his team’s lab jam sessions. “The hardest part is having no idea what’s going on the whole time, which is the beginning of learning the stuff,” Tegeler said. ”I understand the networking aspect, but I don’t know how to secure the machines. It’s pretty hard to learn how to start building the website. I haven’t had a formal class in this so it’s been difficult to jump right in.” Kirby sees the changes made toward the cyberphysical aspects of the competition as an important focus but not one that will radically change the way his team approaches the event. “That’s not as important but creates a slight change in the scoring system,” Kirby said. ”As the scada systems, which are water and electricity, if they are ever turned off we will start to lose serious points. Obviously this is because if you don’t have water or power, bad things happen, and because they are referencing a physical thing, there’s a significantly different way of securing them.” As for competition day, the process is anything but conventional, as real world simulated events demand students to be concentrated and alert for the entire day. Students in real time can check the status of their waves and other team’s servers, as waves of destructive “scripts,” files contain-

Students compete in the spring 2016 Cyber Defense Competition, which is an eight-hour event that challenges students to secure vulnerable computer systems while fending off hackers.

ing commands that can be read by the computer, are sent to each network by the red team throughout. “The day starts off calm as teams servers are up, but you can soon tell when those waves of scripts are coming as like five teams will go from green to all red,” Kirby said. ”It gets a little bit intense.” Randomized tasks, coined anomalies, also affect teams in unique ways from deciphering a message to managing the company’s website. “These anomalies are tasks throughout the day that might be something like a user was just added to the company and must be added to the system or got fired, which all form together toward the scoring of the team as well,” O’Kelley said. Much like a real company, fire drills are routinely used to get students away from their computers while also testing their ability to secure their information effectively. It also forces competitors to question every move made by anyone not related to their team. “In year’s past, they’ve had fire drills where everyone has to leave their computers, then the red team would walk in and anyone who didn’t lock their computer would have all their information stolen from it,” Kirby said.

TESTING p1 The third testing center, which under renovation, is in Durham 139. Bull said it is being turned into two rooms, one being a classroom and the other being the new testing center. A temporary testing center is located in Durham 116, across the hall, with 34 seats. Dies and Ramirez thought it was necessary to expand Durham, even though it might not be busy all of the time. “Usually around midterms and finals it’s really busy, but any time in between, I just get to walk in,” Dies said. Some small changes also have been incorporated in the testing centers. For example, bags are now given to students to put their cell phones in and then place underneath their chair while taking a test. “It’s difficult to monitor students’ use of cell phones, but if they put them in the bag under the chairs, it’s easier to see them, and it’s more noticeable should they try to retrieve them,” Bull said. Although the cell phone bags are there to prevent cheating among

other things, not all students are fond of them. “It’s kind of an extra effort,” Belding said. Ramirez said the bags are kind of annoying, but it doesn’t bother him too much. Bull said the ultimate goal is to make centers run more smoothly. “We’re trying to make sure students have access to those cell phone bags prior to them getting to the actual check-in so it does not delay it,” Bull said. He also said that currently, the people monitoring the tests have to stop and ask students with notes out which class they are in to confirm they are able to use notes, disrupting test time. “We’re working on some processes where we can determine more readily if an exam, for example, will allow notes or open book,” Bull said. Bull said the testing centers are important to keep up with the increasing amount of students. “There is increasing demand for use of the testing centers, and we are continuing to try and meet that demand by adding more seats and just becoming more efficient,” Bull said. “We continue to work.”

and just given the fact that you showed up means a lot to these companies.” Tegeler, of the Pink Unicorns, also enjoys the educational side of ISEAGE. “I really enjoy building the network and deciding how that will work along with the location of firewalls and the different machines, I find it very interesting,” Tegeler said. At its core, however, ISEAGE is still about engaging software engineers in an intense but fun competitive atmosphere. “Many people do this for a hobby,” O’Kelley said. “I know some don’t want to go into software engineering as a career but love the competitions and love to compete.” After the dust settled Saturday and eight hours worth of hacking and defending had passed, the Pink Unicorns and Team Eleven placed sixth and seventh overall, respectively. Although his team made mistakes, the experience Helgerson gained was enough for him to plan to return next year for more cyber defense action. “I was thankful to be on the team because they were accepting of it being a learning experience for me, and more importantly, not getting upset while I was trying to learn,” Helgerson said. “I plan on returning next year.”

VIGIL p1 “We must keep going.” Iowa State is a predominantly white institution, with 24 percent of the student body reporting as a minority. Neely said Iowa State cannot rely on doing the bare minimum and fulfilling statistics, but must take a step further in defeating institutionalized racism. “If Iowa State really wants to be diverse, things need to change,” Neely said. The vigil concluded with members of the group joining hands in prayer. Moses Ward, pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, said that to heal, “first, we must love the person whose skin we walk in every day.” For Desiree Clark, junior in interdisciplinary studies, the vigil was all about self-worth. She said that it’s hard to be an African-American student in a predominantly white institution, let alone keep moving forward when police brutality is in the news. Latevia Williams, freshman in psychology, said the vigil gave her a sense of community. “It’s really nice to come here and see other people who are going through the same thing that you are,” Williams said, “and feeling like a family ... it’s hard to get that on this campus.”

Given the attention to detail toward creating a realistic environment for students to participate in, many see ISEAGE as an opportunity to learn as well build experience toward a future job. Alumni who have worked within or a part of the ISEAGE competition have been seen working with companies such as Google, Microsoft and Boeing. O’Kelley sees that many students treat the occasion as a way to build their résumé and own personal cyber security knowledge. “Even though we do things such as prank calling the white team, it is something we do take seriously,” Kirby said. ”Because if you do well, there have been situations where people have been waiting in line at career fairs, and due to them doing well at ISEAGE, higher level companies will know who they are and pull them out of line. “Regardless of where you are doing in software, knowing how to secure something properly has no downside.” Security professionals and businesses looking to hire new talent also make their way to the event. “There’s people from many companies at the event such as RockwellCollins and Union Pacific who try to recruit you while you’re there,” Helgerson said.”They talk to everyone,

The ISU Police Department is in the minority when it comes to accurately reporting hate crimes compared to the rest of Iowa.

Hate crime reporting numbers lacking

The commodities bubble By Nolan.Wright @iowastatedaily.com

new, peculiar trend has come to light in the world of commodities investment. The 2000’s saw a huge influx of investment in base commodities. Prices surged, then plummeted in 2012 when China’s slowing economy and other factors sparked investors’ withdrawals from goods such as oil and iron. In 2011, a ton of iron ore cost $190. Today, it costs $60. After prices fell, investors pulled out of commodities, stabilizing prices. But investors didn’t just pull their money out of the economy. They tried to find another market that was just as dependable as iron or gold. For a brief period, bonds surged. Lending money to the government seemed like the safest way to get returns. But then bond interest lowered even further. Whenever governments lower the rate on how much they charge people to borrow money from them, they equally lower the rate on how much they give people who borrow money from them. In Germany and Japan, rates are below zero. They want people to borrow money so badly that they offer positive returns on their loans temporarily. This also means that to lend money to Germany or Japan, you have to pay them for the privilege. So it’s understandable why not everyone, especially shortterm investors, is eager to jump on the bonds bandwagon. The second option that many see is reinvesting in commodities. Since investors pulled out four years ago, prices shriveled but stabilized. Signs of steady growth are apparent. Right now, iron is surging — $60/ton is a 50 percent hike

since January. Oil is a bit volatile but seems to be growing long term. But a new player has arrived in this now-familiar scenario. Historically, a rise in prices always has inspired investors to pump money into the market, then something happens to disrupt this and investors rapidly pull out. Rinse, repeat. A significant amount of people betting that prices will fall has never been seen before. This year, more shorts have been taken out on oil and other commodities than ever before. More hedge funds are betting that these prices will fall, despite the fact that volumes of futures are still increasing.

“...they need to realize when they’re responding to instability and when they’re creating it” Although prices have jumped every time shorts are taken out, there is still some good reason to believe energy goods prices may drop. Many respected analysts fear that the resurgence from 2012 to 2014 is happening too quickly. Returns on betting against the commodities market can’t be too high, but confidence, or rather, pessimism, from investors either says something about the future of the market or the disposition of these investors. They don’t appear to be chasing

anything real, but they are having a real appeal on markets. The outcome of this is vague. Prices have yet to skyrocket for commodities, so any bubble would be small, and the introduction of investors on both sides only ensures volatility, which is the way these risky investors stand a chance at profiting. The fact that investors are entering a field like commodities because it’s volatile is alarming enough. Most of these new investors don’t seem to understand how they best stand to make money, let alone how they are affecting the economy. In the pre-housing crisis world, holding commodities up as a shortcut to quick profits would have made you sound nuts. What makes the world different today? People are afraid of the stock market and will be for a long time. Companies have been posting big profits for years now, with minimal risk, and investors still aren’t biting. This shows the scope of the financial collapse. Nearly a decade after it started, people are still terrified. Confidence in businesses stagnates, while that of commodities and bonds rises. Some investment here is good, and most funds are approaching this market maturely. But many others are simply unwilling to reenter the world’s primary investing platform. Investors don’t need to be more confident in standard procedures. What they invest in is their choice. They need to realize how helpful the alternatives are or aren’t. They need to look at the last investment practice for it that didn’t lead to crisis, the 1990s, when investment was as simple and steady as the market. Most importantly, they need to realize when they’re responding to instability and when they’re creating it.

Influencers’ online content needs honesty ByAngelica.Lawson @iowastatedaily.com Influencers are the new celebrity endorsements. Anyone who has a following can be an influencer. Influencers are paid to post about products, brands and different services. Unlike traditional advertising, they have not been disclosing that these are paid for posts. The entire Kardashian clan, many of the women of the Real Housewives empire, DJ Khaled bloggers, stylists and so many more are influencers. They are posting about their vodkas, fit tea, making outfits inspired by brands, and until recently, the public had no clue that the posts that are designed to seem authentic are being paid for by a sponsor. Recently, #Ad, #spon and #sp have been popping up in celebrity photo captions. The various hashtags are used to let followers know that the photo or the caption is being paid for by a company. The FTC has taken

up issue with this type of advertising because it is deceptive to the public. Without proper disclosure of a sponsorship, influencers are misleading the public and breaking the laws in place to protect the public from being misled by advertisers. Influencers are now more trusted than traditional advertising methods, but why do we trust influencers more than ever? Companies have identified that millennials are more likely to make purchases based on the people they identify with. The people they follow and the opinions they most respect have a major impact in their purchasing behavior. Marketers are now investing in social media marketing more than ever. Unfortunately, FTC regulations have not caught up with the evolution of advertising. The FTC has filed complaints with various companies and people regarding their lack of disclosure. Taylor Swift and Lord had complaints filed against them because of the lack of disclosure

of a business relationship with the clothing company. The FTC needs to adapt its regulations to the new media uses of today’s culture. No clear regulations exist for influencers and their content. They are currently being regulated under outdated regulations, and the varying interpretations make it hard to define what is legal and illegal about what they do. Influencers have too much power to not be regulated. Kim Kardashian West and her whole family earn a nice chunk of change from various endorsement deals and sponsorships. When they don’t have to disclose that they are being paid, the people who respect and value their opinions go and buy those items, unknowingly putting money into those celebrities’ hands. Rebecca Minkoff even put influencers front and center in her New York Fashion Week runway show. She featured Chriselle Lim and Arielle Charnas as models in her Greene Street

production. Target’s new ad features a model putting hot sauce in her bag, a clear nod to influencer Beyoncé. As a fellow consumer, I like knowing where my money is going. If I buy something based on a recommendation from a friend or a celebrity I like and follow, I need to know that the the person making the recommendation is genuine and authentic in their recommendation. The men and women who are collectively being called influencers have brand power. They can create or destroy a brand. They have not had to be honest about their posts yet. That little hashtag that is lumped in with others isn’t enough of a distinction for consumers. It needs to be clearer for people to distinguish genuine posts from sponsored data. Once clearer regulations have been created, influencers can still post, but the posts will be disclosed properly and better educate and protect the public.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to individuals and communities whenever senseless acts of violence occur, especially if they are motivated by hatred of a minority group. Crimes driven by a sense of hate for a minority group are akin to terrorism. Both seek to frighten not only the individual but the community at large. The FBI tracks and investigates reported hate crimes around the country. But a recent AP investigation found that while some states are doing quite well on their reporting, most are not. Between the years 2009 and 2014, 16 states had more than 25 percent of their local law enforcement agencies not report to the FBI hate crime database that tracks hate crimes. Most of the local police and sheriff departments claimed clerical error, technical difficulties or ignorance as reasons for not reporting to the FBI. This behavior is deplorable and adds to a growing national narrative of distrust in local law enforcement. Ignoring or failing to follow through with the proper paper work to federally report a hate crime has led to false and inaccurate statistics, as well as a non-reporting rate of about 40 percent. If federal and local law enforcement agencies cannot accurately identify and analyze problems surrounding hate crimes in our country, then how are they supposed to create and implement solutions? Nationally, a lot of work needs to be done when it comes to investigating and reporting hate crimes. On Iowa State’s campus, the Iowa State University Police Division released its Annual Security & Fire Safety Report. The report, published in September, includes a detailed count of investigations considered to be hate crimes, along with other Clery Reportable Crimes. In 2013, two hate crimes were reported. One involved vandalism motivated by sexual orientation, and the other involved harassment motivated by race. In 2014, two hate crimes were reported. One was vandalism motivated by race, while the other was a simple assault motivated by sexual orientation. In 2015, one hate crime was reported, and it involved aggravated assault motivated by race. The Editorial Board would like to applaud ISU Police for publishing the records along with other Clery Reportable Crimes. It is vital that the students, staff and families of Iowa State are aware and understand the challenges we still face. Moreover, we encourage ISU Police to continue its transparency and further the dialogue between officers and citizens. While ISU Police has been doing well, the state as a whole has not. The AP has reported that out of the 402 Iowa law enforcement agencies that submit data to the FBI, 211 failed to submit hate crime numbers at least once between 2009 and 2014. Iowa can and must do better.

Losses irk Cyclones By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com Coach Matt Campbell is ticked off. After blowing fourth-quarter leads in backto-back weeks against Baylor and Oklahoma State, the focus is on the collapses in the fourth quarter. The team is frustrated about the past two results but also has optimism heading into the future. “Well, I’m ticked and I think I made that known,” Campbell said. “I hope our kids are ticked too because I would be if I was a player.” Two weeks ago, Iowa State hosted Baylor and was up by 14 points near the end of the third quarter. Baylor came back to win the game 45-42 with a last-second field goal. This weekend against Oklahoma State brought a similar situation, with Iowa State leading by 17 points. The Cowboys scored 24 points within the last minutes of the third quarter and throughout the fourth to win the game 38-31. The mood around the locker room is a disappointed one because the team could’ve been 3-3 but is 1-5 entering the final game before its bye week. “I think everyone is frustrated because we’re having the games won in the first three quarters,” said defensive back Jay Jones. “[Campbell] can answer it better than I can, but I can say that everyone is frustrated from the coaches down to the players.” Over the past two games, Iowa State is outscoring its opponents 73-49 in the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, the Cyclones are losing 34-0. Even with the disappointment, wide receiv-

er Allen Lazard and quarterback Joel Lanning are looking into the future with optimism. They have another chance to win their first Big 12 game of the season Saturday against Texas. Lanning said the win could be big as the team needs to gain some confidence going into a bye week. “Obviously, we want wins and stuff, but I’m very satisfied on how we’ve been playing,” Lazard said. “I’m not sweating it too much, and what’s happened is in the past and we’re ready to take on Texas.” The amount of production on the offensive side for Iowa State has been eye-opening for Campbell, but he knew it would come around sometime soon. Everything is clicking offensively among Lanning, quarterback Jacob Park, running back Mike Warren and the wide receiver corps led by Lazard. The defense is starting to stop plays when needed toward the end of the game, but Campbell said it needs to continue to play at a high level in the fourth quarter. It’s an overall team effort that either makes or breaks the team toward the end of games, and Iowa State has been broken in the past two football games. The first couple games were learning processes, and the excuse was that there was a new coach and a new playbook. That was understandable back then, but now, Campbell and the players are not making excuses anymore. Instead, they need to execute for four quarters or these types of results will continue to happen. “The first few games, it’s learning the process and the playbook,” Lazard said. “Now, it’s on us as players to go out there and get the job done for all four quarters.”

ISU gets break in Big 12 schedule By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State volleyball is getting a breather in the middle of a relentless Big 12 schedule. After playing No. 6 Kansas and No. 4 Texas in back-to-back games, Iowa State will play at South Dakota on Tuesday. The Cyclones traveled to Vermillion, South Dakota, two years ago and swept the Coyotes in the small and cramped side gym of the Dakota Dome. “It’s fun to do something different — you get to see some new faces,” said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “I know they have a somewhat new arena. We played up there a couple of years ago, and it was a really, really tiny space — it seated like 300 people. “I’ve heard the new arena is really nice. I love going to places like that, that have those kinds of facilities.” South Dakota constructed the Sanford Coyote Sports Center — an addition to the Dakota Dome, which seats 6,000 people. South Dakota drew 695 fans when it played North Dakota State on Oct. 2. Johnson-Lynch thinks there should be a good crowd on hand for the match, but a good number could be wearing cardinal and gold. Vermillion is located in the southeast corner of South Dakota, right by the northwest

boarder of Iowa. “We’ve recruited heavily in the northwest part of Iowa, so it’ll be good to have some of those players’ families drive an hour instead of three hours,” Johnson-Lynch said. Both Alexis Conaway and Anna Kiel are from the Orange City, Iowa, area. Last time roughly 150 Iowa State fans showed up to cheer on the Cyclones. On court, South Dakota is having a good season. The Coyotes are 17-2 overall and 6-0 in conference play. Their only losses this year have come against Alabama and Iowa. “They are winning a lot of matches right now, so they’ve got confidence, obviously,” Johnson-Lynch said. “They’re a nice team — pretty solid all the way around. “This is a team that’s been winning, that’s playing at home. I imagine they see this as a huge, huge match for them for the season.” To avoid a letdown, Johnson-Lynch said her team needs to prepare for the Coyotes just like it would any other team.

Iowa State’s star safety Kamari CottonMoya didn’t play against Oklahoma State on Saturday and it’s possible that he won’t play this Saturday against Texas. Cotton-Moya is still dealing with an injury he suffered midway through the game against Baylor on Oct. 1 and is dayto-day heading into this week’s slate of practices. “He was out there again running around a little bit and just see where he is as we progress from Tuesday and Wednesday,” Campbell said Monday morning. “We’d love to get him back, but it’s great to see guys step up.” Campbell said safeties Braxton Lewis and Evrett Edwards took over in CottonMoya’s absence. “Those guys got the bulk of the reps and really showed that they can play in the football game,” Campbell said. “Both played their best football game to date.” Cotton-Moya, one of the team’s four captains, leads Iowa State with 29 tackles, eight more than Reggan Northrup, who is second on the team, despite missing a game, and has an interception and a pass breakup. “It’s this time of year when you see guys go down and our answer can’t be... we can’t play well,” Campbell said. “That’s just not acceptable.” Trever Ryen’s status still uncertain On the offensive side of the ball, receiver Trever Ryen went down hard Saturday on a punt return and was assisted off the field. Campbell said after the game he didn’t know the status of Ryen and that remained the case Monday morning.

San Jose State’s Zamore Zigler tries to hurdle ISU defensive back Kamari Cotton-Moya on Sept. 24.

“He was out there at practice yesterday,” Campbell said. “Still not full-go. I think we’ll know a little better Tuesday and Wednesday. I’ll have a lot better update for you then.” Campbell also said the Cyclones dodged a bullet, as Ryen’s injury looked worse than it actually was. “I think we’re really fortunate,” Campbell said. “It really looked bad, but it was not as bad as it looked.” Ryen has been one of the team’s best offensive weapons. He has racked up 283 receiving yards, the second-best mark on the team, and ranks fifth in the nation in punt return average. But what has been more impressive for the coaching staff has been Ryen’s work ethic. Campbell even went as far as to say Ryen is one of his favorite players on the team. “I’ll just I’ll put it out there right now, If I had one favorite, it would probably be Trever [Ryen],” Campbell said.

The five senses of fall: Smell By Grace.Rigdon @iowastatedaily.com Editor’s note: Close your eyes and think back to every year you have witnessed the transition into fall. We can see beautiful sights, feel warm mittens on our fingers, drink pumpkin spice coffee, listen to the cheering of football games and smell campfires. This is part one in a five-part series on fall and the five senses. The air is very crisp, leaving a smell of cleanliness and nature. I can smell pumpkin spice and salted caramel mochas fill the air as I walk past the Hub to go into the library. The smell of the coffee is warm in itself. As a freshman at Iowa State, I am having a very new experience of fall. Walking from class to class, as the air and feel of weather is changing, I have unraveled a new love for fall. The campus is more than beautiful during this time of the year, bringing new smells and new memories of what fall is and will be. After being outside in chilly weather, holding a hot drink and having the warmth fill your nose calls to mind sitting in front of a fire at home with a cuddly blanket. One of my favorites is the smell of hot apple cider in my hand. To me, the smell of apple

cider is a huge representation of fall. When I think of fall smells, it brings back memories of my mom cooking in the kitchen and opening the oven to smell the pumpkin bars and pies. Now that I am not living at home, and cannot smell my mother’s warm cooking, I will be filling my room with baking scents to bring fall into my little dorm. My favorite candles that embrace fall are pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla and apple cider. Peyton Payne, an open-option freshman, also is adjusting to fall in the new environment. “I have always been the biggest fan of fall,” Payne said. Payne has been enjoying the recent change in the temperature and loves the smell of crisp cut air. Payne said the smell is very refreshing, relaxing and puts her in a good mood. “Back at home, growing up, my family and friends spent a lot of time around a campfire,” Payne said. “I specifically remember the smell of the fire burning and the smell of the cooked marshmallows that were roasting. I remember leaves being thrown into the fire and having that strong burning scent quickly swarm the air.” When she thinks of fall scents inside the home, Payne immediately thinks about apple cider

and pumpkin, scents that put her back into her grandma’s house feeling warm, safe and cuddly. “I want my room to smell like cinnamon and vanilla all season long,” Payne said. Lucas LaSalvia, freshman in apparel, merchandising and design, moved to campus from Arlington Heights, Illinois. Fall is his favorite season because it is a great time to prepare for the winter but still enjoy the last period of warmth for outdoor activities. “In the fall season, my favorite thing to do is go to the apple orchard and pumpkin patches with my family,” LaSalvia said. “We usually go to pumpkin patches at farms — and I do not have the best memory of the smells there because of pigs and other animals. I’ll leave it at that,” he said, laughing. The apple orchards, however, were a source of pleasant fall smells for LaSalvia. “I can distinctively smell a crisp honeydew apple after I bite into it and freshly cut grass,” LaSalvia said. “My favorite thing to eat at the orchard is the apple cider donuts. You can never get enough of that smell.” The senses of fall are hard to beat, and the smells of fall are very neat. Look forward to next week’s installment — the sounds of fall.

Candles, leaves and pumpkins are three smells commonly recognizable with fall.

Daily does: Reporter takes on Pilates class at ISU By Rebecca.Haars @iowastatedaily.com Pilates is an exercise and relaxation all in one. It is the perfect combo for a morning wakeup or nighttime cool down. Offered as a fitness class through the Iowa State University Recreation Services, Pilates can be compared to yoga’s stretching aspect, but then adds a little extra workout as well. “It’s very calming, like if you’ve had a stressful day or something you can just come here and kind of unwind,” said Rebecca Harken, student instructor. “It also really gets your blood flowing and your muscles engaged a lot more than people kind of realize.” The workout is core focused, with

some leg strengthening, to create long, lean muscles. It is offered Sunday through Thursday at nine different times. The Pilates class is at a beginner-intermediate level. It progresses throughout the semes-

ter, however, it still gives those who are new modified variations to each exercise so everyone is welcome to join at any time. Those who go to the class do not need to bring their own mat to the

gym because mats are provided for each class. Since Pilates has a lot of stretching woven into it, stretching before class isn’t as important as if one were doing a more intense workout, but it is always an option. “Maybe [do] some dynamic stretching to really get your muscles warmed up a little bit, so you’re not overdoing it in the class and stretching it beyond what you should,” Harken said. Just like any fitness class, each instructor will teach their class a little different than the others. Harken’s class included a lot of leg work. The leg work always includes core work, because the core is used to keeping the body stable. Olivia Klocke, student instructor of Thursday’s class, focused more on the core at the beginning of the

workout and slowly transitioned into more leg-based exercises. “Really focusing on your breathing, that’s really important in Pilates, and your posture,” Klocke said. “Making sure everything is aligned and you’re not straining anything.” Focusing on breathing correctly, as explained at the start of each class, is stressed by each instructor throughout each session. Each class provides time between a few set workouts to rub out any tight muscles after a harder set. Whether yesterday was a tough workout and you need a little break, you want to start working out but don’t want something too intense or you are just looking to try something new, Pilates is the fitness class for you.
