GREEN LAKE receives

GREEN TREATMENT 65 students attend club’s trash cleanup at LaVerne

By Brian.Day @iowastatedaily.com Students in the Greek Go Green club took the initiative to help keep Iowa State beautiful by organizing a cleanup of Lake LaVerne.

The relatively new club, founded just last year, adopted Lake LaVerne and does a cleanup of it once every semester.

Sunday from 2 to 3 p.m., 65 students gathered at Lake LaVerne to help Greeks Go Green pick up all the trash surrounding the lake.

The event was not limited to member of Greeks Go Green, or greek students. Everyone was encouraged to join in helping with the cleanup.

Greeks Go Green were expecting around 50 people to attend, but their expectations were exceeded.

Some may have noticed the layer of green residue on the surface of Lake LaVerne this year; while Iowa State is having a crew to come in and clean that portion of the lake, that is not the pur-

ROTC tests skills on German Armed Forces evaluation

By Chase.Russell @iowastatedaily.com Just more than a month after being recognized as one of the top programs in the country, the ISU Army ROTC hosted the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge evaluation event this past weekend.

The German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge evaluation is an event where cadets have the opportunity to test their skills and abilities in a variety of tests and competitions. Some of the events included the flex arm hang, 11 10-meter sprint, 1,000-meter run, 100-meter swim and the pistol shoot.

The performances of each cadet are evaluated and a rating of gold, silver or bronze is awarded based on the outcome of the events.

In addition to physical tests, a portion of the evaluation focuses on the cadets’ abilities to respond to situations requiring medical attention.

In one such test, cadets are scored on how well they are able to treat a wounded victim while they put on a Mission Oriented Protective Posture suit in a race against the clock in another performance evaluation.

The suit is protective gear used by military personnel in a toxic environment.

“It’s to test you on basic soldier skills ... something you might see when you go out into the field,” said Xavier Bou, senior in marketing and ROTC cadet.

The two-day event kicked off at 5 p.m. Friday evening at Lied Recreation Athletic Center.

The evaluation continued the following morn-

ing at 10 a.m. at the Beyer Hall pool. Evening events on Saturday, including the pistol shoot and the awards ceremony, were hosted at Camp Dodge in Des Moines.

An event open to anyone in the military; the evaluation hosted cadets in ROTC programs from schools throughout Iowa and surrounding states including the University of Iowa, the University of Northern Iowa, Drake University, Buena Vista University and Creighton University.

Bou stated that this would be his first time in his four years in ROTC taking part in the evaluation.

“This evaluation is kind of rare,” Bou said. “A lot of soldiers don’t get this opportunity, so we are lucky to have the connections to have a German Armed Forces sergeant major here.”

While the Army ROTC is a program largely focused on team accomplishments, the evaluation is an opportunity for cadets to compete against other students on an individual basis. For those who earn the German badge, it can be worn on their uniform.

“While this isn’t a group event, it still gives the individuals a way to put themselves out there above others,” said Miranda Fair, ISU Army ROTC media relations representative. “This event is a way for cadets to prove themselves on an individual level and test their own limits while giving them the opportunity to earn a German badge not offered to everyone.”

This was the first time that the event has been held at Iowa State.

Ultra Violet fashion show raises $4,000

By Mariah.Wellman @iowastatedaily.com The fourth annual Ultra Violet fashion show strutted out style Friday, Oct. 11, at the Memorial Union to raise money for the Sigma Kappa Foundation.

This event, ran by Sigma Kappa sorority, raised $4,041.11. This year alone, Sigma Kappa plans to give more than $8000 to the foundation.

A silent auction and refreshment hour accompanied the fashion show, which featured garments designed by students, as well as clothing from local Ames boutique, Ayden Lee. Tia-Michelle Ricklefs, owner of Ayden Lee, was one of the judges for the evening. Her garments from Ayden Lee went down the runway prior to the students’ designs.

Ricklefs, along with judges Devin Hall, graduate assistant in education, and Tina Denekas, lecturer in apparel, event and hospitality management, were given the task of judging each garment based on creativity, fit, construction and overall appearance.

They rated each garment and decided on first-, second- and third-place winners.

Ricklefs is an ISU alumna, and the clothing from her boutique has been showcased during the past four years at the Ultra Violet show. This year was one of the few years Ayden Lee has been shown at the show exclusively.

“It’s great they’ve come back to us year after year,” Ricklefs said.

Ricklefs was also a judge last year when the garments were required to be some shade of purple.

This year the rules were changed and students were allowed to submit garments of any color.

“I love it,” Ricklefs said. “The purple was gorgeous last year, but I think it really opens it up to different uses of color and texture.”

At the conclusion of the fashion show, the judges had the chance to look at each garment close up, and the audience was given the opportunity to vote on a People’s Choice winner.

Heidi Steckel, junior in apparel, merchandising and design, won the award with her navy and neutral short dress.

“I was really inspired by music festival wear, and I really like the bohemian look,” Steckel said. “I really liked the flow, so you can dance.”

Steckel incorporated both a fold-over collar as well as a soft edged scallop collar on the top of her navy and neutral ensemble.

“I saw bare skin was really popular with the crop top so I did that with a faux suede waistband,” Ricklefs said. “I really just liked the flowy dress, something you can dance in.”

Erica Becker, senior in apparel, merchandising and design, was awarded first place from the judges.

She created a dress inspired by the quick magician changes on the television show, “The X Factor.”

President Leath forms council to enhance student experience

By Logan.Kahler @iowastatedaily.com As enrollment increases, the need for housing, classes, on campus dining and advisers also increase.

To compensate, President Steven Leath has appointed a group of university experts to make recommendations for the issues faced by Iowa State.

The Student Experience Enhancement Council was born.

The appointed council turned in their recommendations midsummer and were approved this fall.

“We are aiming for a comprehensive experience,” said Pamela Anthony, dean of students and cochairwoman of academic enrichment for the Student Experience

Enhancement Council.

To make the experience for the undergraduate students at its best, the council formulated a list of recommendations to improve the student experience.

“We’re doing our best to keep the experience for the undergraduate students good,” Anthony said.

To improve the experience of the incoming freshmen, the council focused on the necessities of college living, which included housing, need for classes and dining.

Upon approval, the council took immediate action and decided to implement urgent needs first. They focused on accommodating the increasing amount of students.

They also focused on stu-

dent housing by leasing apartments that resemble the residence hall lifestyle with student-run government and a community adviser.

“We leased space and we set up an environment that would be perfect for students but would still have a residence hall feel,” said David Holger, an associate provost for academic programs and member of the council.

With enrollment at an all time high, the need for more classes increases. To compensate, the Student Experience Enhancement Council recommended adding more classes and labs.

There is a need for more faculty due to the rising number of students, classes and labs.

College of Ag plans nation’s largest career fair Annual event to welcome 229 potential employers for opportunistic students

By Caitlin.Deaver @iowastatedaily.com The nation’s largest agriculture career fair, which is hosted by ISU’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, is right around the corner.

On Oct. 15, the College of Agriculture Ag Fall Career Day will be held at Lied Recreation Athletic Center from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event is open to the public.

Last fall, the career fair attracted 208 companies; this fall, the number has risen to 229 companies looking to employ ISU students.

“Employers in the agriculture industry look to students in [CALS] at Iowa State University because they know that some of the most talented individuals in the country choose to study here,” said Bethany Olson, senior office assistant at College of Agriculture Career Services.

“They also know Iowa State provides countless opportunities for growth and development as leaders on campus, in addition to an incredibly high quality education in agriculture and the life sciences.”

Thirty-five new companies will be in attendance.

According to a newsletter, Mike Gaul,

director of Agriculture and Life Sciences Career Services, said, “The growth of this event and the number of new companies in attendance is a testament to the quality of students and programs associated with the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.”

Some of the big-name companies that will be attending this fall’s career day include: Ag Leader Technology, Cargill, DuPont Pioneer, Elanco Animal Health, Hormel Foods, Inc., John Deere, Land O’Lakes, Inc., Monsanto and Wells Fargo.

“A variety of highly successful and influential companies in agriculture attend our career fair, ranging in size and market share in their respective industries,” Olson said The College of Agriculture has maintained strong relationships with partners in the industry. Some company representatives dedicate their time to student organizations within the College of Agriculture to strengthen ties between them and the college through its students.

“Additionally, several industry partners have made major financial contributions to the college’s facilities,” Olson said. “One example of this is the recentlyopened Monsanto Student Services wing in Curtiss Hall. This wing was made possible by a major financial contribution of Monsanto.”

Before attending career day, students are expected to come prepared to meet potential employers.

Students are encouraged to do their

Early voting begins for City Council race

By Emelie.Knobloch @iowastatedaily.com Early voting has begun for the Ames City Council elections that will be held on Nov. 5.

The Story County Auditor’s Office is open for all eligible voters residing in Story County to cast their votes.

“When I knock on doors around campus, students give me about two seconds of their time before they shut the door,” said Justin Dodge, City Council candidate for 1st Ward.

The last chance to vote for city council is Nov. 4.

Voters can also request a mail-in absentee ballot.

Citizens can fill out an official Iowa absentee ballot request form.

There are three ways to turn in the absentee ballot: hand delivery, someone else can hand deliver the ballot for another and mail in ballot.

The form can be mailed if postmarked no later than Nov. 4.

Ballots can be hand delivered to the auditor’s office by 8 p.m. on voting day. Absentee ballots can be sent through mail or hand delivered to the county auditor’s office.

Further instructions can be found in absentee ballot package.

“This election is going to have important consequences for the next 20 years,” said Timothy Gartin, City Council candidate.

College students may

vote at their home address or their college address.

Students cannot register to vote at both, according to Matt Schultz, Iowa secretary of State.

Any eligible voter can register to vote on Election Day. The voter must show proof of identity as well as proof of current residence.

Voters may find proof of residence on a residential lease, utility bill, bank statement or any other government document.

“All of the City Council candidates are great people, the kind of people that should be on city council,” Gartin said.

Each ward will have its own election polling places on Election Day. Iowa State’s campus is designated as 4th Ward.

The candidates for the election are Gloria Betcher and Justin Dodge for 1st Ward, Timothy Gartin for 2nd Ward, Peter Orazem for 3rd Ward and Chris Nelson and Victoria Szopinski for 4th Ward. The at-large candidates for City Council are Amber Corrieri and Anne Kinzel.

“It’s going to be like nothing we have ever seen before because of the redistricting,” said Mayor Ann Campbell.

homework before arriving at the career fair. This could include finding out what companies they want to talk to by researching the companies and talking with upperclassmen about different internship opportunities.

Students should bring their resumes too, after having been thoroughly checked over multiple times.

“Come prepared with more resumes than the number of companies you plan to talk to,” Olson said. “On the day of [the career fair], you need to be prepared for unexpected opportunities to get your resume into the hands of an ‘unplanned’ company.

It’s better to be over-prepared rather than under-prepared.”

Dressing conservatively is also important in preparing for the career fair, as it presents students as ready for the professional world.

“For men, a suit and tie is appropriate,” Olson said. “For women, a pant suit or pencil-skirt suit is appropriate.”

Lastly, students should arrive early and come alone.

“Interview schedules fill up quickly, so the sooner you can get yourself in front of a potential employer, the better chance you have of landing an interview,” Olson said. “Also, the career fair is not the place for social hour with your college buddies; the opportunity to network and get on the interview schedule of a major player in the agriculture industry is an opportunity that doesn’t come every day, so students should

Corrine Villim, president of Greeks Go Green, said the majority of the trash that students find around the lake are cigarette butts.

Since the perimeter of the lake is near the edge of campus, it’s a popular spot for students to go smoke.

Villim said that helping out with the clean-up has helped her realize how bad littering is, and she said that she will never do it again.

“When I’m there and I’m cleaning this up, I’m like ‘I’m never going to litter again’ because it’s horrible, and especially because we have such a beautiful campus,” Villim said. “It’s important to have awareness that your actions definitely have repercussions.”

On Tuesday, students will check in at kiosks in the lobby of Lied; they will then swipe their student ID card and receive a name badge.

“Recruiters working at the career fair are going to be meeting over 2,000 students in a matter of six hours,” Olson said. “As a student, be prepared and decide ahead of time how you are going to set yourself apart from the rest of the students to get on an interview schedule. Come relaxed and ready to talk about yourself, your academic choices and your career goals.”

The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences will be hosting another career day next spring on Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2014.

Approximately 115 companies will be in attendance.

“It’s incredibly important for students to take advantage of career fairs because it’s a very convenient opportunity for them to explore potential employment and internship options in an environment full of positive energy and lots of options in the industry,” Olson said. “It’s an incredible opportunity.”

Editorial

Take a stand against unpaid internships For most of us college students, our future careers are an uncertain prospect.

Whether we will get our dream job or end up toiling away in a position we despise is largely still up in the air. It only makes sense that we would immediately jump at any opportunity help our search for desirable employment.

An internship is an opportunity that almost all of us are required to complete in order to succeed in whichever field we plan on entering.

Fliers and posters adorn our beloved campus offering part-time and full-time internships for college credit, pay or simple experience. Emails flood our inboxes weekly, describing opportunities to intern with companies nationwide.

What many of those fliers and their online counterparts will not tell you is that the “unpaid” internships may not be all they appear — namely, legal.

When evaluating an unpaid internship opportunity, it’s important to understand that you shouldn’t only consider how it will look on your resume. Despite what common knowledge may tell you, for-profit employers are not allowed to exploit the hard work of individuals and not pay for it simply because they are designated as interns.

The Fair Labor Standards Act ensures that employees must be paid a minimum wage here in the United States. In addition, the act defines the term “employee” rather broadly. This means that businesses classified as for-profit organizations who benefit extensively from the work of their interns are very likely doing so illegally.

The criteria for what positions constitute an “internship,” and are therefore able to be performed without pay, are defined by the U.S. Department of Labor as follows: First, the internship, although performed at the employer’s facilities, is similar to training which would be given in an educational setting.

Second, the internship is for the experience and educational benefit of the intern.

Third, the intern does not displace regular employees and works under close supervision of existing staff.

Fourth, the employer does not receive an immediate advantage from the intern’s activities, and in fact, may even have its operations impeded.

Fifth, the intern is not guaranteed a job at the conclusion of the internship.

Sixth, both the employer and intern understand that there will not be wages given for the internship.

If, and only if, all six of these conditions are met can an employer legally withhold payment from an intern.

It seems fairly obvious, however, that there are a great many unpaid internships out there which do not fit the description above. Unfortunately for those of us soon to be entering the workforce, there is little incentive for employers or potential interns to blow the whistle on illegal internships.

The reason employers might cheat the system is obvious: they derive profit from the labor of the interns they don’t have to pay.

It seems surprising, then, that interns themselves would not call out their wouldbe employers for their failure to abide by the law.

But interns understandably feel anxious in speaking up, for fear that they will lose their internship or be given poor evaluations if they try to upset the status-quo.

No one wants to be the person that rocks the boat, especially when they need the experience to get that dream job in the future. Being put in such a tight position can make speaking out for unpaid interns quite uncomfortable to say the least.

Failure to police the companies which many of us hope to one day work for ultimately benefits no one. If we want to create a better, more fair job market, we, as the employees of tomorrow, need to hold companies accountable for their actions.

The cycle of illegal unpaid internships can be broken if those of us who plan on filling those positions in the future demand the fair pay we rightfully deserve.

Malala Yousafzai recently appeared on Jon Stewart’s “The Daily Show,” advocating for pacifism in the face of violence. Yousafzai met with President Barack Obama in the Oval Office on Oct. 11 to talk about her experience .

Young lionhearted pacifist speaks Malala preaches peace after being shot by Taliban

By Sam.Greer @iowastatedaily.com

I

admit, only grudgingly, that sometimes I take breaks from desk work to skim my Facebook feed.

Yesterday, as I idly scanned the relationship drama and scandalous selfies, something caught my eye; there was a familiar name above a video link.

The title of the video “16-Year-Old Malala Yousafzai Leaves Jon Stewart Speechless With Comment About Pacifism.”

Because I have always been a passionate supporter of women’s rights in third world countries, I knew Malala’s story well; I had written about her in my high school newspaper after she was nearly murdered by a member of the Taliban a little over a year ago.

Malala got the Taliban’s attention by anonymously advocating women’s education rights in her blog. Not long after, while Malala was on a school bus, a Talib boarded and gunned her down point-blank.

Miraculously, the young woman survived. She returned with a vengeance, leading a charge to liberate oppressed women; she has been campaigning worldwide, and was a 2013 Nobel Peace Prize nominee for her fearless advocacy of women’s rights.

When I clicked on the video link, I was unsure whether her comment on pacifism was a dismissal of peace in times of war or a plea for her fellow human beings to strive toward peace.

I should have known, given her outspokenness and iron strength of character, that her statement would be the latter of the two.

Jon Stewart asked her about potential future attempts to take her life; the

Taliban have reiterated their threats since her recovery.

Malala responded very simply: “I started thinking about that, and I used to think that the Talib would come, and he would just kill me. But then I said ‘if he comes, what would you do Malala?’ then I would reply to myself, ‘Malala, just take a shoe and hit him.’

But then I said ‘if you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib… you must fight others but through peace and through dialogue and through education.’ Then I said I will tell him how important education is and that ‘I even want education for your children as well,’ and I will tell him, ‘that’s what I want to tell you, now do what you want.’”

Like Jon Stewart, I clapped my hands over my mouth and stared at the suddenly blurry young woman on my computer screen. What faith she must possess, to understand that

violence would make her no better than the men trying to take her own life?

Most people are selfprofessed pacifists right up until the moment their lives are threatened with violence; to overcome the deeprooted defense mechanism that every human possesses and calmly stare death in the face is nearly impossible.

But that is exactly what Malala did and continues to do every day. She speaks all over the world, sowing the seeds of hope among oppressed women and inspiring those who are able to join the cause.

Malala is walking in the footsteps of peaceful people that have changed the world. “This is the philosophy of nonviolence that I have learned from Ghandi, Bacha Khan and Mother Teresa,” she said in a speech to the UN General Assembly.

Anyone can lash out violently when they are hurt; it takes a truly incredible individual to stand before the enemy and say “do what you want.”

They should be too old for time-outs Five things lawmakers could learn from elementary students

By Phil.Brown @iowastatedaily.com

W

e’ve all heard of the game show “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” If you haven’t, congratulations, I think that means you won a new car. While the show and its underlying premise are laughable (I mean come on, who doesn’t like seeing adults look silly on television), it is only funny because the contestants are regular people and the questions are largely useless trivia.

Imagine how horrifying the show would be if it featured the leaders of the United States and had them competing with 5th graders to answer basic questions regarding how far their minds have developed since birth. Heck, forget fifth graders, some of our elected officials would probably struggle in a battle of wits with a 3-year-old, and here are five reasons why: First, some members of Congress lack the capacity for category recognition. This unfortunate handicap has turned up in spades during the government shutdown and in the days preceding it.

There are legislators who reiterate time and again that former presidents have all negotiated on federal budgets, painting President Barack Obama as an outlier for not negotiating on Obamacare.

What these malcontents fail to grasp is that previous budget negotiations have centered on, well, matter pertaining to the budget. The Affordable Care Act is not a budget issue, unlike the usual suspects these negotiations are famous for such as taxation and entitlement reform.

Obama has repeatedly said he will negotiate on those issues.

So while your niece might be able to put round objects in round holes, your lawmakers might spend half of

their terms trying to jam a square peg into a triangle-shaped hole, only stopping to hold news conferences about how diligently he is working on the problem.

Second, a few of our lawmakers have trouble accepting the existence of things they can’t actually see.

It is widely known that babies will become upset when their caregiver leaves the room, as they have not yet developed the brainpower to assure themselves that things still exist when they walk out the door.

Some of our representatives suffer from the same problem. For example, claims that the government shutdown should not affect open air monuments — bolstered by the presence of war veterans, no less — rest upon the idea that since we can’t see any work being done when these places are open, there must not be any work that needs to be done.

Never mind the people who work behind the scenes to keep these places clean, free of potentially dangerous objects and secure from attacks; never mind the people who need to be ready to respond to visitors who become unruly or who have medical emergencies. Obviously those people don’t exist, which probably comes as quite a shock to their families and friends.

Third, many of those we have sent to Washington can’t comprehend the concept of another’s viewpoint.

While children are able to tell you what someone else might think before they enter formal schooling, this is probably too much to ask of those leading your country.

Democrats will tell anyone and everyone that the government shutdown is the result of Republicans who want the shutdown to continue since they hate government, or something like that. It has become such a common point that there are rumors it will be added to the official party platform.

Republicans will say the same thing, except instead of Democrats hating government, they hate the American people, American business, the American dream and, especially, the American eagle.

Fourth, at least some officials don’t

get the concept of acquiescing to justifiably powerful forces.

Kids largely accept the idea of authority. The general concept goes that if the rules say someone else is in charge, or at least is partially in charge, you shouldn’t just tell them “go away” and proceed to do whatever the hell you want.

Some representatives and senators would respond to such talk by saying things like, “That would be giving up,” or “I’m not going to forsake my principles,” or “Wait, you mean I have to live in the real world?”

The half-baked idea of a small, ideological fringe group trying to remove funding from enacted legislation with little support in the Senate and absolutely no support from the president isn’t reminiscent of David and Goliath; it is more like going into Burger King and holding up the line until the manager agrees to negotiate with you on the price of french fries.

You might make a big scene, but you’re probably going to get kicked out without so much as a ketchup packet.

Finally, it seems that almost every lawmaker in Congress is totally assured of their infallibility.

Youngsters might think they know a lot, but even they understand the phrase “gee, I guess I was wrong.”

Those words might as well be written in Greek with a heavy German accent — translated from Chinese — as far as our legislators are concerned.

There is nothing wrong with sticking up for yourself when you know you are right, but to insist on things like “there is no debt ceiling” and “we can’t actually default because we make a lot of money” is the equivalent of saying “screw reasons, I’m just going to make stuff up and stick with it.”

All in all, there are a great many things that separate our elected officials from young children. Their expensive clothes, their expensive haircuts, their expensive lifestyles and their abilities for finding microphones like mice find cheese all come to mind.

What they have in common, however, is probably far more important; namely, the level of their intellectual development.

Iowa State Daily

Dual-threat Hoiberg expects top-100 recruits to impact offense

By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com

Jonathan Krueger/Iowa State Daily

Matt Thomas, left, and Monte Morris are the lone true freshmen on this year’s men’s basketball team. Both were listed on ESPN.com’s top-100 recruits, Thomas at No. 51 and Morris at No. 84, before coming Iowa State.

The pair of consensus top-100 recruits of Matt Thomas and Monte Morris had very different high school basketball experiences.

Thomas wasn’t a part of the national recruiting scene until the summer before his senior year, when he went on the national AAU circuit and his stock skyrocketed up the ESPN.com’s rankings before finally resting at No. 51.

Morris was a player who had been on the big stage for high school hoops most of his high school life and cracked ESPN.com’s top-100 coming in at No. 84, but was named Michigan’s Mr. Basketball his senior year at Beecher High School.

Despite the different roads to Ames, ISU basketball coach Fred Hoiberg praised both men in his opening statement at the team’s media day Oct. 11, saying both would be players who would be logging minutes early and often.

“Monte Morris has been very, very good for us,” Hoiberg said. “I knew he was a good player, but the learning

curve for a freshman point guard is as high as you’re going to find. Monte has done a tremendous job.

“He’s a low-turnover guy, he’ll get you into an offense and he makes tremendous decisions. ... So he’s a guy that can get us going and will be a player that I think plays minutes for us as a freshman.”

Hoiberg went out of his way to point out that Morris only had three turnovers through six practices, which could be a far cry from the point guard of last year in Korie Lucious, who took until the Big 12 portion of the season to fix his turnover troubles, averaging four turnovers per game through the non-conference schedule.

“I’d say the big learning curve for me is defensively and always going that extra mile, 100 percent, don’t take any plays off,” Morris said.

“Other than that I feel like I’m learning well and adjusting to things.”

Thomas is a two-time, all-state performer, who hit 59 3-pointers on a 36 percent clip his senior year at Onalaska, Wis. In Hoiberg’s spread-out offense, he’s the type of player who can thrive, which is a big reason Thomas said he came to play in Ames.

“Matt Thomas has really been shooting the ball well, especially these last few practices,” Hoiberg said. “He’s

Every day, we’re getting after it.

I mean I’ve got scratches all over the place.

I got a black eye the other day, so we’re going after it for sure.”

Matt Thomas

starting to understand our spacing concepts. Again, he’s a guy, with the way we like to play, he can get a lot of minutes for us.”

Thomas has been busy adjusting to the intensity of the college practices, talking to the media with scratches up and down his arms and a left black eye.

He’s especially adapting when there’s a playing time up for grabs, the way Hoiberg says there is among the backcourt of guards.

“Every day we’re getting after it,” Thomas said. “I mean I’ve got scratches all over the place. I got a black eye the other day, so we’re going after it for sure. You have to take that mindset into every practice, you’ve got to play your hardest like you would in any situation.”

Loss to Texas Tech Iowa State blocks out West Virginia defeat stings football team Cyclones Mountaineers

By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com

When ISU coach Paul Rhoads held coaching clinics in the past, one thing he made sure to emphasize was stopping the run.

If a team was rushing for 25 yards collectively, stopping the run would be all that much more important. What Rhoads preached at those clinics was not something Iowa State was able to do Saturday against Texas Tech.

The Cyclones (1-4, 0-2 Big 12) fell to the No. 20 Red Raiders 42-35 on Saturday in Lubbock, Texas, while he ISU defense allowed three Texas Tech players to rush for more than 80 yards with each earning a touchdown.

The Texas Tech offensive racked up 666 total yards and ran 101 plays on the day.

Something that hasn’t been present in the past for the Red Raiders is a defense to match their high-powered offense, but Texas Tech held Iowa State to 311 total yards. The more uncommon defensive schemes are something the Cyclones tried to prepare for throughout the week. “[Texas Tech coach] Kliff [Kingsbury] had said as much that their defense was leading the way, their senior leadership [on defense],” Rhoads said. “We saw it on tape, we knew it going into the game. They do a great job of disguising. They play in a defense up front that is unique and when you’ve got a

week to prepare for it, it challenges you.”

Texas Tech got on the board first with a 33-yard touchdown pass from freshman quarterback Davis Webb to Jakeem Grant with 6:31 left in the first quarter. On the ensuing kickoff, ISU returner Jarvis West fielded the kick and sliced through the Red Raider kickoff team for a 95-yard touchdown.

West’s return is tied for the third-longest kickoff return for a touchdown in school history, and is the first non-onside kickoff return for a touchdown since Troy Davis took it to the house from 99 yards out in 1994. West knew that once he was in the open field, no defender would be catching him.

“I just saw lanes open and there were great blocks by my teammates and Albert [Gary], he led me through the hole and it came down to one person and I made that guy miss and finished the play,” West said of the return.

With Saturday’s loss, Iowa State drops to 1-4 on the season and 0-2 in the Big 12. Iowa State has lost those four games this season by a combined 22 points, and Rhoads had a simple message for his team following Saturday’s loss after he felt no sense of giving up for lack of fighting back.

“He said let it hurt,” said ISU running back Jeff Woody. “Let a loss hurt, because if you invested enough into it, it should. Going forward, if you question the resiliency of this team, then you haven’t really been watching.”

in 3-straight sets

By Maddy.Arnold @iowastatedaily.com In the first two weeks of its conference schedule, Iowa State has played five Big 12 matches. The Cyclones have won four of them in straight sets.

The ISU volleyball team (10-5, 4-1 Big 12) completed their fourth sweep of a Big 12 opponent against West Virginia (15-4, 2-3 Big 12) on Saturday.

The Cyclones defeated the Mountaineers 3-0 (25-19, 25-18, 25-18).

“I thought we were great in some areas, elite in some areas and OK in some others. I thought we served really, really well,” said ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “I liked our serving. I liked our blocking. Statistically that’s probably the best night we’ve had so far.”

Before the match against West Virginia, Iowa State held last place in the Big 12 in blocking.

The Cyclones had only 77 blocks this season, almost 50 less then the next team and averaged only 1.55 blocks per set.

During the match, West Virginia had five total team blocks while Iowa State had eight. The match was only the fourth time the Cyclones have outblocked their opponent this season.

“The last game the coaches were really big on working on intensity, so obviously that was a big focus on tonight’s game,” said sophomore middle blocker Tory Knuth. “Consistently

being aggressive is something that we still need to work on. I think it’s better; it’s improved.”

Knuth had one solo block and two block assists against the Mountaineers.

She also added eight kills and two service aces during the win. Before the match, Knuth led the Big 12 in service aces. She has 16 this season and averages almost .46 per set.

“Our middles continue to put up some really nice numbers, so we’re trying to keep them involved and they’re doing a nice job,” Johnson-Lynch said.

“You’ve not seen what [Knuth] can do yet.”

Freshman outside hitter Ciara Capezio added another solo block and one block assist to the win against West Virginia.

Capezio also led the offense for the Cyclones with nine kills and five service aces on the night.

Iowa State leads the Big 12 in service aces. So far this season, the Cyclones average 1.66 aces per set and had seven against the Mountaineers. “[Aces are] probably the biggest advantages you can have minus a miss serve from the other team,” Capezio said. “I think if you have a good serve, mostly likely you’ll get an ace or get them out-of-system which helps also.”

No. 11 freshmen Ciara Capezio makes the jump and prepares to return the ball to the Mountaineers on Saturday at Hilton Coliseum. Iowa State swept West Virginia in three sets.

Ag Entrepreneurship Initiative spurs students worldwide

By Adelai.Swanson @iowastatedaily.com The Agricultural Entrepreneurship Initiative program offers a variety of opportunities to ISU students in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

Throughout the academic year, the program sponsors events that allow more than 800 students to cultivate a better understanding of entrepreneurial opportunities after graduation.

For example, the program hosts roundtables where successful entrepreneurs come to campus and speak with students.

Students are also able to obtain international experience through initiative’s study abroad program.

This year students will be traveling to Tanzania to work side by side with an entrepreneurial company.

The program also encompasses student business incubators, National Agri-Marketing Association Team and Club, a lecture series and even an entrepreneurial minor.

The Agricultural Entrepreneurship Initiative program has grown to offer 20 different internship opportunities to students each summer.

Natalina Sents, sophomore in agricultural business, used the initiative’s internship program as a freshman last year. After receiving an email from the program, Sents decided to submit her resume and was then chosen for an interview.

“I expressed my interests in

agri-tourism and marketing to the AgEI staff and from there they began a matchmaking process,” Sents said. The AgEI staff worked with Sents to find a company that best fit her interests. Sents interned for Enchanted Acres, a startup pumpkin patch located in northern Iowa.

“Basically, I was able to run the company,” Sents said. “I was given a list of the ideas for the upcoming season and was in charge of turning the ideas into realities.

One of my biggest projects was planning the entire calendar for the season. My boss wanted a craft every weekend for families and then also events to attract them out to the farm, whether that be a local band, wine tasting or local barbecue, just something that promotes community and boosts people’s interests [in] Enchanted Acres.”

Sents credits her successful internship to those working in the Agriculture Entrepreneurship Initiative program at Iowa State.

“Don’t be afraid to stop in the office and jump right in,” Sents said. The program also offers international internships for students who are looking to step out of their comfort zone. Tyler Krug, senior in agricultural systems technology, interned on a rice farm in Tanzania during the summer.

“I was looking for a challenge,” Krug said, “Since I participated in an AgEI internship as a junior.”

While in Tanzania, Krug analyzed different moisture lev-

els of rice using precision ag technology.

“I focused on specific projects regarding precision ag and agronomy: soil sampling, mapping, software and programming,” Krug said. “There was always something new going on.

It was pretty neat that I got to be included on all aspects of the farm.”

Throughout his internship, Krug was emerged in a diverse

culture and was introduced to an alternate side of agriculture.

“As much as I helped them, I learned twice as much from just being around the rice production, international ag and the culture,” Krug said.

Through his involvement with program, Krug gained contacts, skills and experiences that he will carry over into the workforce after he graduates in December.

“If you are looking for an internship that will impact you, AgEI is the right fit,” Krug said.

Staff with the Agricultural Entrepreneurship Initiative Program will be available to speak with students at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Career Fair on Oct. 15.

Students can also visit their website at www.entrepreneurship. ag.iastate.edu or stop in their office located in 0030 Curtiss Hall.

Agricultural clubs enhance students’ academic work

Career fair advice: Before attending, do some research on potential jobs

By Samantha.Berrafato @iowastatedaily.com Agronomy Club The Agronomy Club meets every other week to discuss new topics happening in agriculture and to promote campus activities. Some of the club’s activities are weekly donut and pizza sales, Veishea grilling, and regional and national meetings. They also have employers come to discuss what they look for in employees and opportunities in their company. The club’s president is Kyle Dop.

By Sam.Johnson @iowastatedaily.com It’s time for the career fair. You’re suiting up and raring to go, but before you approach a company, do your research. Some industries like agriculture are diverse and businesses can be highly specialized. Knowledge of the company can be the difference in building the relationship needed to land the internship you want.

Many, if not all, companies have a website. When looking for an internship with a specific company, go to their website and find out what the company stands for, what values the company was built on and what their overall goal is as a company. It could also be helpful to know who started the company and when.

Along with researching the company, research current events in the company’s specific sector. Knowledge of current events in the company’s area of expertise is attractive to employers.

If a company just landed a huge contract in their field, it is good to know about that contract. If the company just put on a major event, know about the event. Many employers love to hear prospective employees are aware of events within the company.

the environment. Anyone interested in fruits and vegetables, gardens, floral design, indoor plants, greenhouses or landscape design should consider joining. The club meets every other Monday in 0138 Horticulture Hall. Kellie Walters is the president.

and sales throughout the year. The club does many service projects along with providing scholarships to students involved in the club. Those interested in joining may contact Matt Romoser at mromoser@ iastate.edu. The president is Branden Zuck.

Farm Operation Club The Farm Operation Club meets once a month to discuss commodity groups, government agricultural programs, production agriculture and job opportunities in agriculture. They offer a scholarship each year to students within the curriculum that demonstrate high academic achievement and leadership skills, as well as service activities. The president is Kyle Larson.

Importance of joining clubs/organizations We have heard many times that being involved on campus is very important. Why? An employer can be looking at two impressive resumes and if the only difference between you and another candidate for is being involved on campus through a club that relates to your major or that position, the employer is going to choose the involvement.

Joining a club might not only help you gain another bullet on your resume, but also help you gain leadership experience, network with future employers and make new friends who are interested in the same things you are.

Dos and don’ts to follow for a successful interview

By Alesha.Olson @iowastatedaily.com

Kathy Vives runs the booth for the Henry Doorly Zoo at the agriculture career fair Oct. 16, 2012. Last year’s career fair welcomed 208 businesses and organizations.

How to prepare to have success on Ag Career Day

By Lindsey.Wanninger @iowastatedaily.com Suits, smiles and intimidating employers are a few things you will notice when walking into the Ag Career Day at Iowa State.

The career fair is helpful for students, as it gives them an opportunity to land an internship, part-time or fulltime job. Students put a lot of time and effort into this event with hopes that it will pay off.

The career fair can be a breeze if time is taken to prepare for it. Iowa State provides resources to guide you through how to make your resume worth reading as well as mock interviews.

Some of the seminars they offer cover resumes, cover letters and interviews.

Every college within the university offers their own career services. Contact the Career Services within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and they will help you review your resume and cover letter.

They also provide mock interviews and help search for jobs and internships. The college’s Career Services is located in 0015 Curtiss Hall.

An appointment can be made by phone or email.

“Your confidence is the most important thing to bring to the fair,” said Mitch Rupiper, 2012 graduate of Iowa State and an employee

for Prime Inc. “Be confident to impress.”

Rupiper said the most important thing you can do to prepare for the fair is to research the employers attending. Researching, he said, will boost your confidence when talking to the employers. He got his job at a career fair when he was a student here and now comes back as a recruiter for his company.

One thing that surprised Rupiper was the amount of wrinkled dress shirts. He said it is also important to dress the part of a future employee. A suit is appropriate and the most popular choice of clothing for the career fair. If you decide to wear a dress shirt, make sure it is ironed.

“Eye contact and smiling at each individual employer is important,” said Kevin Kavanaugh, from ConAgra Foods. “In the corporate world, you do not realize how important little investments in people are because down the road you may encounter the people you were either nice to, or blew off. First impressions matter.”

“Go there with a purpose and know what you want,” said Jessica Ashton, human resources manager for Central Farmers Cooperative. “Be personable and have a genuine interest in the company.”

Everyone gets a little nervous when heading into an interview and might make a mistake or two. If you happen to make a mistake during an interview, here are some ways to correct it.

Ag Career Day is Oct. 15. With that in mind, here are some dos and don’ts for an interview.

Do

■■ Dress up: This might seem obvious, but dress to impress.

■■ Ask for the job: This may be awkward, but at the end of the interview tell employers that you want the job.

■■ Ask questions: Employers are asking you all the questions, now give them some.

Don’t

■■ Lie: Even if it’s something small, employers have ways of finding out.

■■ Research: Nothing looks worse than coming into an interview not knowing anything about the company.

■■ Forget : No-shows are unacceptable unless a true emergency took place, in which case employers should still be notified.

■■ Give details: Employers like to see depth to your answers.

■■ Harass: We all want to know if we got the job, but don’t hound employers. Contact them only after the time frame in which they said they would reach you.

■■ Follow up: Send an email or letter of thanks reiterating your strengths and including anything you forgot to mention.

■■ Leave out the small stuff:

Employers like to hear about your internships, work experience, clubs and future goals.

■■ Bring up controversial topics: Government, politics and religion are off limits.

Jessica Putz, senior in agriculture studies, said her main advice to peers is to dress professionally and be open to all employers, even if you think it is something you’re not interested in.

Mike Gaul, director of Agriculture Career Services, said a student’s ultimate goal can be summed up in three words: well-rounded candidate. In the first seven seconds, steps and words you say, employers have an idea in their mind if they like you or not.

Employers are looking for someone who can walk up to their booth, look them in the eye and

confidently tell them his or her story and what they are looking for. It’s your chance to take control when an employer says “Tell me a little bit about yourself.”

A lot of agriculture students tell employers that in one to two years they want to go back to the farm or back to graduate school. Employers aren’t going to hire someone they can only have for a short amount of time.

Choose to forego this information, because you really don’t know what your future holds.

Gaul said that you will never again have 220 employers on your doorstep looking to recruit you.

“It’s amazing how many students don’t go to these things.” Gaul said. “If you are serious about your job search, you will come to these things.”
