California law puts the chicken before its eggs, threatens Iowa egg producers By Dylan.Roth @iowastatedaily.com

he chicken comes before the egg according to U.S. District Court Judge Kimberly Mueller. Iowa and five other states filed a lawsuit Oct. 2 to overturn the 2010 California law that requires eggs coming into the state to be from chickens held in larger cages. Mueller dismissed the lawsuit. The California law, which will go into effect Jan. 1, 2015, requires at least 116 square inches of space per chicken. That is slightly smaller than a standard sheet of legal paper. The industry standard is currently 67 square inches per chicken. The law only applies to shelled eggs. Producers of liquid egg products, such as egg whites, do not face the same constraints. “We’re about to see how a state law is going to impact other states,” said Lee Schulz, professor of economics in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Iowa is the number one producer of eggs in the country, and California imports more eggs than any other state. “When you look at the distribution of Iowa eggs, it’s the East Coast and the West Coast that make up the large market,” Schulz said. Iowa’s egg industry depends

heavily on California. About 4 billion — 9 percent of all eggs produced in the United States — are sent to the California market. Egg producers in Iowa and other states are not required to build new facilities, but they will be unable to sell their eggs in California if they do not. “It’s likely that Iowa will build new housing to conform to the standards because the alternative is to lose the California market,” said Dermot Hayes, professor at the Iowa State Center for Rural and Agricultural Development. The construction of each new individual chicken cage will cost about $26. It will cost Iowa more than $100 million to build new housing for chickens whose eggs are destined for the California egg market, Hayes said. Chad Hart, eco nomics professor at the Iowa State Center for Rural and Agricultural Development, said that the impact of the law on the Iowa egg industry may be less significant than many think. California can only limit the number of eggs coming into their state market. Eggs that do not qualify for the

Week promotes awareness for disabled students By Dakota.Carpenter @iowastatedaily.com Disability Awareness Week kicked off Sunday with an open house at the Student Services Building. Disability Awareness Week is designed to promote awareness of students with disabilities through events and speakers. Students were invited to the open house to learn more about what Disability Awareness Week will look like at Iowa State. Brandon Keesling, junior in industrial technology, works at the Student Disability Resources Office and said that this week will give faculty, staff and students the opportunity to learn about disabilities within the ISU community. “[Disabilities are] pretty

In order to continue selling eggs to California, Iowa egg producers will need to spend roughly $100 million total for each chicken to have 116 square inches of space — the size of the yellow box. Currently, industry standards are 67 square inches of space per chicken which is depicted by the orange box.

Disability Awareness Week comes from National Disability Employment Month with more of a focus on students because that is who the Student Disabilities Resources Offices serves. The Student Disability Resources Office has worked to organize a week of events such as the open house. Steve Moats, director of Student Disability Resources, said events will offer a glimpse into what disabled students experience daily. “The events of the week are really intended to help people gain more understanding about the diversity of our student population here at Iowa State,”

Branstad, Republican Party candidates attend assembly By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com Gov. Terry Branstad and other Republican party candidates for the Nov. 4 midterm election gathered at Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity Monday to rally voters. Branstad, Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds and Rep. Steve King gathered in the basement of the fraternity to talk about why they consider themselves as the future of Iowa. Adam Gregg, candidate for attorney general, Paul Pate, candidate for secretary of state, and Jeremy Davis, candidate for Iowa Senate in the 23 district, were also in attendance. Jon Laudner, senior in management information systems and president of ISU College Republicans, said the event provides great background on candidates for voters who want to take part in early voting. “I had one lady email me here two days ago and say she was brand new to politics and just wanted to get involved,” Laudner said. “She’s never voted

before, and she wanted to come to something like this and see all the candidates. That’s why I’m kind of excited about tonight. It’s your one-stop shop.” Nolan Zumbach, junior in agricultural studies and president of Alpha Gamma Rho, helped organize the event. Zumbach had an internship with Branstad’s campaign last summer and said he knew Branstad wanted to make an appearance on campus so he thought the fraternity would be a good place to host the event. “Everyone’s been pretty supportive as far as helping out. I don’t know if everyone in the house is necessarily going to vote for Branstad, but when it comes to getting stuff done, everyone in the house is usually willing to help,” Zumbach said of his fraternity brothers. Nearly 100 Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity members and Republican supporters attended the event to hear the candidates speak on why they are qualified for the positions to represent Iowa.

Terry Branstad speaks at at an early voting rally at the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity on Oct. 11. Other Iowa Republican candidates also spoke at the event.

Gamma Rho, said his track record of creating jobs in Iowa, balancing the budget and advocating for the agricultural industry speaks for itself. “Iowa’s an agricultural state. I’m really proud to say you have record enrollment at Iowa State, and I’m really proud to say you have record enrollment in agriculture,” Branstad said. Branstad and King also reiterated their intentions to expand agriculture and ethanol production.

BOR hosts town hall meeting Deloitte informs public of efficiency study proposals By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com ISU faculty and staff have concerns about loss of employees because of efficiency suggestions made by Deloitte Consulting, the firm performing the Board of Regents efficiency study. A few faculty and staff shared those concerns at the Board of Regents Transparent, Inclusive Efficiency Review public town hall meeting Monday in the Memorial Union. Representatives from Deloitte presented the eight remaining business cases that resulted from phase two of the efficiency study to a full room of ISU faculty, staff and other community members. The business cases deal with the administrative systems in human resources, finance and information technology, and they give suggestions on how the university can make the systems more efficient and cost-effective. The human resources and finance business cases suggest moving part of the systems so that they more centralized, as opposed to each college having a separate system. As it is now, almost every department handles its own finances. Deloitte

suggested moving financial processes to a shared services university system. Moving to a shared services system could reduce the number of staff needed to perform the services. Deloitte’s suggestions include staff reductions by natural attrition or phased retirements, meaning after some staff retire their positions will not be replaced. Paula Sandlin, a clerical employee at the laboratory animal resources, questioned Deloitte representatives about the decreasing staff numbers. “My concern is with the elimination of positions not only through attrition but the possibility of layoffs,” Sandlin said. “Over the past five years, clerical staff has been cut drastically because of the budget.” Sandlin, having been a clerical staff member for years, said she is “aware of the line going down for employment.” Since 2004, the amount of clerical staff has been reduced by 205 employees from 420 to 215, according to the Iowa Department of Administrative Services salary book. Sandlin’s concern was the decrease of staff numbers accompanied by increased enrollment. “How does your plan take those realities into ac-

the meeting. Virginia Fraser, a Deloitte project manager, said the issue of staff and attrition almost always raises concerns and should be discussed “head-on.” “We looked at the way work could get done [and] ways to better provide that work so that it can be simplified so that it doesn’t require as many people down the line using that natural attrition,” Fraser said. Other faculty and staff in the audience raised concerns about the information technology cases. Veronica Dark, former Faculty Senate president, said the delivery of education is more enhanced

that would negatively impact the core educational mission of [Iowa State]?” Shomic Saha, Deloitte’s IT lead on the study, said the team took into account the benefits of keeping education local and said some aspects of technology and services are best kept local. Any member of the ISU community — student, staff, faculty or community member — can submit suggestions, questions or concerns to the Deloitte team at iastate.edu/efficiency. Each regent university president will compile feedback to present to the full Board of Regents meeting that will take place Oct. 22.

when services are local. “The IT cases focus on the general institutional function. My concern is about IT and education,” she said. Dark informed the Deloitte representatives about last year’s campus-wide evaluation of information technology and educational mission. “It was very clear from that that faculty felt their delivery of the educational mission was enhanced with local services not centralized services,” Dark said. “Am I right to be concerned that movement for the institutional IT infrastructure might force changes on the educational infrastructure

ISU students have the chance to meet with student government leaders, as well as Ames City Council members, in a casual setting over a free lunch at the annual Meet Your Government Day. “This event is about showing students that their student leaders and representatives are approachable people — regular students just like them,” said Evan Abramsky, senator serving in the Government of the Student Body and one of the organizers for the event. This year’s Meet Your Government Day will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday on Central Campus. GSB and the Inter-Residence Hall Association are co-sponsoring the event. GSB funded the tents and tables, and IRHA funded the 250 pepperoni, sausage and cheese Pizza Ranch pizzas, along with beverages. “The IRHA execs have been working with us on this and also worked with us on the hugely successful Cyclone Market as well,” said Sen. Michael Plant-

enberg, another GSB organizer of the event. “We’ve had a great partnership this year.” Several organizations and constituency councils, including GSB, IRHA and Student Legal Services, among others, are making themselves available for students. Each group will have their own table and representatives while GSB, IRHA and the Ames City Council will each have two tables. Abramsky said students can learn about the resources available to them as well as get to know those who represent them in at Iowa State and Ames during the event. “It’s a great way for students to learn about the initiatives that affect them on and off campus,” he said. “Those [initiatives] will not only affect their academic lives but their living situations in general.” Abramsky said that some of those initiatives could include the bike share proposal and CyRide. “This is a chance for [government leaders] to discuss their ideas with students one-on-one and get their feedback,” Abramsky said. “This is also a great opportunity for students to voice their opinions about

things they’ve seen around campus, informally complain to their representatives and in general just interact with their leaders.” Plantenberg emphasized the importance of students knowing where and for what their money is being spent when it comes to GSB and the university. “A lot of these students don’t know what half the stuff we [GSB] do even is,” Plantenberg said. “A lot of students don’t know they pay a student activities fee that we distribute to clubs and services. Almost no one even knows that they have two lawyers that work for them.” Plantenberg also encouraged students to visit the GSB office in the West Student Office Space of the Memorial Union to talk to their representatives about concerns, ideas or questions they may have after the event. “In my three years of being on GSB, I can count on one hand the number of times people have come to me about something as a student,” Plantenberg said. Both Abramsky and Planetenberg will be at Meet Your Government Day for the entirety of the event if students wish to speak with them.

Take note of internationally important dates

Courtesy of Thinkstock Climate change directly impacts the speed of melting polar ice caps. Two scientists recently filmed the largest ice calving in history in Greenland, when ice that was roughly the size of Manhattan collapsed in 75 minutes. Even if people act now, it will take years to get back to a state when humans have no negative effects on the environment.

Earth needs more attention By Katie.Titus @iowastatedaily.com

very single species in the world is endangered. The planet is changing, and humans are, without a doubt, a part of the reason why. Climate change is a serious situation, and it should command more attention. There has been too much debate about who is causing climate change when what really needs to be discussed are solutions to fix the problem. Climates all over the world are changing. Areas of Africa suffer from drought while areas on coastlines are flooding from tidal waves and typhoons. There are areas across the planet facing extreme weather events like tornadoes and hurricanes due to intense temperatures with the changing of seasons. Of course, while all of this is happening, the most obvious sign of climate change is the melting of polar ice caps, which is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about climate change. A video posted by a team of scientists showed that the Greenland ice sheet is melting at a faster rate than ever before. An ice sheet the size

of Manhattan calved in only 75 minutes, the largest ice calving ever recorded. While it can be determined that smaller shifts in the ice happen fairly often, evidence shows that from 1900 to 2000 the ice only retreated eight miles, whereas the ice has retreated nine miles in the last 10 years alone. Ice is melting at the fastest rates ever recorded, yet so many people still believe that global warming, also known as climate change, is not happening, or that it is not caused by people. It is true that the planet is constantly evolving, and patterns show that there are natural heating and coolings of the planet over time. However, the rate at which the planet is heating is at an all-time high, and temperatures are rising all over the globe. We are experiencing climate change right here in Iowa. During the winter of 2013-2014, Iowa experienced a season that, during some of our coldest weeks, were colder than the temperatures recorded in Alaska. At the same time, our summer temperatures seem to get hotter and hotter every year. Our ozone layer is thinner than ever before due to the burning of fossil fuels and the buildup of greenhouse gasses. With the continuation of glacial ice melting, the sea level could potentially rise 18 to nearly 60 centimeters by the end of the century, according to a National Geo-

graphic video. While this number seems pretty low, over long periods of time this could eventually mean the wiping out of cities on coastlines all over the world. That is 44 percent of the world’s population and hundreds of millions of people. As the climate changes and regions start having radical climate unknown to the specific area, biodiversity is affected. Over time, species of animals could evolve to live in a changed environment. But, with the speedy rate at which the environment is evolving, it is nearly impossible for a species to keep up. One of the most wellknown cases of biodiversity being directly affected by climate change is the case of polar bears. For polar bears, ice caps are a natural habitat and source of hunting. Due to climate change, polar ice caps drift further and further apart, causing the bears to have to swim longer distances and even drown in an attempt to get to their food source. Polar bears have become an endangered species and will probably go extinct soon if something does not change. Greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide emissions and deforestation are three of the leading causes of the human-caused climate change. People are the leading cause of climate change. At the rate we are going, even if we were to work to fix the problem of climate change right now, it

would still take years for the effects to show. Of course there is the argument that there is going to be a natural shift in Earth’s climate with or without humans, but the planet naturally has the capability of creating a balance between natural heating and natural cooling. While carbon dioxide emissions continue to increase, the probability of Earth to naturally cool becomes more and more difficult. We need to start working immediately to try to save our planet. When thinking about climate change, it is time to start thinking about the bigger picture. People, animals and the environment are all affected by climate change. We must learn to think for the future. If we want to start saving the polar bears or for our children and grandchildren to live on a sustainable planet, we have to act fast. We must work together as a planet to reduce the amount of fossil fuels burned, as well as the amounts of carbon dioxide emissions that are released into the air. It is a big job, but every person counts. It is too easy to say that we are not going to make a difference and continue down the same track we have been following for years. We need to stand up, take initiative and start making changes in our daily lives, and hopefully, if enough of us can do it, that will start making changes to planet Earth.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

‘Murder is murder’ until it affects you By Danni Halbrook, Story County resident Murder is murder — unless it’s the murder of your loved one. Publicly sharing my thoughts about a political campaign is neither something I’ve ever done nor ever thought I would do. I think someone who voices their beliefs should have new information about the topic or a relevant experience to share with readers not just regurgitate old ideas. I have a relevant experience to share in regards to the Story County attorney. Before April, I couldn’t tell you who our county attorney was, but I

didn’t like him. I had never personally met or even seen the county attorney, but I had heard unflattering rumors about him. Then, under the most horrible of circumstances, I met Stephen Holmes and became a life-long supporter. That three-week murder trial Holmes prosecuted over the summer and referenced at Oct. 2’s open forum was the murder of my aunt Val. Reading challenger Stephen Howell’s criticisms regarding the amount of time Holmes spends in the courtroom, along with the quote, “There are procedural changes from time to time, but murder is murder, theft is theft, domestic abuse is domestic abuse,” is what motivated

me to share my experiences. From what I read, Howell believes the county attorney position should be mostly about managerial and public relation. Admittedly Howell does not have prosecution experience but thinks it is good enough for the county attorney to just “understand the elements of the case, the elements of the crime and the burden of proof on the county.” Based on recent events in my life, I disagree. I am not sure how a county attorney without prosecution experience would be able to lead and mentor assistant county attorneys or even make a sound decision about who to charge with what. I am con-

vinced that Holmes’ personal involvement played a large role in my aunt’s murderer being held accountable for her death. Holmes has both the courtroom experience and the compassion victims need from their county attorney. When casting your vote for county attorney, I urge you to answer a simple question and vote your conscience: If your loved one was murdered, who would you want responsible for seeking justice? A county attorney office led by an attorney without prosecution experience or by an attorney with a proven track record? I also invite people to visit my Facebook page to read about my experience.

It was marked on the calendar that Oct. 13 was Columbus Day. Many would consider this a fairly important day as far as the calendar goes, seeing how Christopher Columbus is credited with the discovery of the New World. Columbus Day is still, despite some dissent, a federal holiday. The lack of awareness in Iowa is likely related to the fact that our state does not recognize Columbus Day as an official holiday, which is a growing theme across the nation. With such little awareness being given to a national holiday recognized by the United States government, international holidays, which carry significant meaning to international students or to minority cultures, have little or no chance of being acknowledged by Iowa State students or staff. This unfortunate realization also reveals a noticeable hypocrisy within a university which treasures and embraces its diverse student body. Oct. 13, while celebrated and known as Columbus Day in the United States, is also Thanksgiving Day in Canada. Canada celebrates Thanksgiving on the second Monday in October, and the holiday predates the American form of the celebration because it was celebrated in 1578 by Martin Frobisher. That example is simply a different interpretation of a widely known and celebrated American tradition, but the fact that no one discusses the true origins of the holiday perfectly exemplifies American ignorance of internationally significant dates. Therefore it isn’t difficult to imagine that a holiday that Americans share no national or cultural bond is easily lost on the general public, outside of the people who celebrate it as part of their culture. Oct. 13 is a celebrated date around the world. The day marks the celebration of Eid-al-Ghadir in Iran and in Shia Muslim communities across the world, as well as Argentina’s national day of respect for cultural diversity. Many Americans will claim that awareness of international holidays and traditions is irrelevant because those cultures have assimilated into our culture not the other way around, but such arrogance goes directly against the ideals upon which our nation is based. America has always been a melting pot of different ideas, languages, histories and cultures. The culture of the majority may seem more important to recognize and celebrate because many people ignore the traditions of other cultures, but it does a disservice to our founding principles. No group of people should have their cultural history trivialized simply due to the ignorance of those around them. No one should have to fit themselves into what has become the cultural norm for our society just because some ideas and beliefs are more widely recognized than others. The United States is looked on by many as a bastion of democracy and social equity because every opinion is heard, even if only the slimmest minority is voicing it. There may never be nationwide celebrations of international holidays and minority culture traditions. In fact it would be shocking if such developments are ever made, but the very least we can do as a society is gain an understanding and an awareness for these overlooked dates and events. International students make up a fair portion of our university, so there are great and prevalent opportunities for Iowa State students to start a trend of multicultural awareness. Between the organizations, events and the international students themselves who are on campus, there are no excuses for inquiring minds at Iowa State to be unaware of the diversity around them. The only reason that a student at our university might not know about different cultures is simply a matter of effort or, more precisely, a lack of it. Iowa State Daily will stop taking letters for political endorsements for any upcoming elctions on Friday, Oct. 31.

Goaltender from down under Player reflects on journey to Ames

Korrie Bysted/Iowa State Daily Michael Smart defends the goal during a Cyclone Hockey practice Sept. 16 at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena. Banned from NCAA Division III play because of playing semi-professional hockey in his home country of Australia, Smart came to Iowa State to play for the Cyclone Hockey club. Smart grew up playing roller hockey in the streets of Perth and now is a goaltender for the Division III squad. He hopes to start for the Division I squad next year.

By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com From walking in the hot and dry climate of Western Australia, Michael Smart walks into the local ice arena to a blast of cool air. Although it is one of the few ice rinks in his city, Smart somehow finds his way into the world of ice hockey in Western Australia where the lowest average temperature reaches 42 degrees. Growing up in Perth, Australia, a city of 1.4 million people on the southwestern tip of the country, Smart was a natural athlete. He participated in track and field, volleyball and Australian football, along with playing ice hockey as a goaltender. Smart’s introduction to ice hockey came somewhat unconventionally. Knowing

the owner of a local skateboard shop in Perth, Smart obtained some street hockey sticks. The owner taught Smart how to play roller hockey, a more mainstream way to play hockey in 90 degree weather. Smart and some of his friends made a team and competed in the local roller hockey league. But it wasn’t enough for Smart; he wanted more. The desire to play more hockey drove Smart to the indoor ice rinks in the industrial part of the city. He joined leagues with players ages 10-18 with all sorts of skill levels. “It was hard to find sticks in Australia,” Smart said. “I just went to my nearest ice rink when I could and signed up to play some ice hockey. It was really unorganized.” When Smart turned 18, he played goaltender on

the Australian U18 hockey team. He played against national teams including Italy, France and Mongolia. Smart even said that his team had to lend Mongolia some hockey equipment to play a game. After the national team, Smart moved to Canada to attend school and play hockey at a more competitive level, traveling from Ottawa, Ontario to Toronto. “Smart is a great teammate to be around and always wants to help out when he can,” said Sam McLaughlin, Smart’s former teammate at Harrington College of Canada. “He has a true passion for the game.” Smart played hockey in Canada in the winters and in Australia in the summers so he could play the full year. In Australia, Smart moved to the highest hockey league, the Austra-

lian Ice Hockey League, a semi-professional league full of people from other countries. Smart manned the net for one of the most successful teams in the AIHL, the Perth Thunder. “The best players play for Perth,” Smart said. “If you aren’t playing for Perth, than you aren’t really good. That’s as high as it gets in Australia.” Playing for Perth, Smart allowed 4.68 goals per game and had a .851 save percentage in his 2013 season. “[Smart] has great reflexes and, if given an opportunity and some experience, he will display his incredible glove hand,” said Perth coach Stan Scott. “Michael is very driven and committed both and off the ice. He has a great work ethic and is a very respectful person.”

Following the 2013 AIHL season, Smart decided to attend college at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minn. There he played hockey for the NCAA Division III program while still having a career in Australia. In doing that, however, Smart ran into trouble with the NCAA. He had an agent that helped him look for teams to play for over the summers, and he signed a contract in Australia. According to NCCA rules, that made him a professional player. The NCAA banned Smart for life. He said that he spent about $30,000 appealing the decision, but the ruling was final. Smart claims he is the only player to be banned from NCAA Division III. “Hockey hasn’t always been kind to me,” Smart said. “When I found out I

couldn’t play, I started looking for [American Collegiate Hockey Association] club programs across the country. It came between Arizona State and Iowa State.” Since the NCAA doesn’t govern the ACHA, Smart was allowed entry to the league. He eventually chose Iowa State because of his familiarity with the Midwest and a better chance for playing time. After the team selection following the Oct. 5. and 6 Huntsville Havoc series, Smart found himself on the Division III squad with two other goalies. But he still has optimism. “I was hoping to play for Division I this year. I think everyone did,” Smart said. “When it came to not playing or playing Division III, I chose playing because I can get some games in net and have a shot at starting next year.”

Cyclones slow down use of up-tempo offense By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State needed something to jump-start an offense that kept stalling out in the red zone against Toledo. Quarterback Sam Richardson was seeing blitzes nearly every play, and the Cyclones were settling for field goals instead of touchdowns. Both offensive coordinator Mark Mangino and Richardson saw what was happening: The Toledo defense was adjusting to the ISU offense before the snap count and sent more pressure if time allowed. So to start the second half the Cyclones went up-tempo to catch the defense off guard. It worked to the tune of 28 points and 274 yards of offense — more points and yardage than the team produced in the entirety

of their first game against North Dakota State where they only had 14 points and 253 yards. “It was just a moment in the game where we thought we could go fast and we did that,” Richardson said. With the best offensive production of the season and a career game from Richardson, the up-tempo offense is here to stay, right? “I don’t think it will be something we continue to do for the rest of the season,” Richardson said. That’s right. The offense isn’t adapting the uptempo offense after their most successful game of the season. But that’s not because Mangino and coach Paul Rhoads are crazy. That kind of offense just is not going to work against everybody. “It was good to us, it was successful, but it’s only something you use if you’re

CYCLONE HOCKEY Player of the Week #11 J.P. Kascsak

Seventh-ranked Iowa State came out on top over ACHA Men’s Division 1 newcomer Indiana Tech Friday thanks in large part to J.P. Kascsak, who picked up a hat trick by burying a rebound in the slot in the first period to open scoring, tallying a highlight reel backhand shot in the second period, and firing a wicked wrister top shelf in the third period to cap scoring in the Cyclones’ 5-0 shutout over the Warriors. Kascsak’s three-goal game puts him second in team goal scoring with 5 goals in 10 games. Iowa State squares off against arch-rival Lindenwood this Friday and Saturday at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena at 7:30 p.m.

successful with it,” Rhoads said. “It can be a real detriment, especially to your defense if you’re not [successful with it], and you come off the field quite quickly.” To be fair Rhoads isn’t throwing away the up-tempo offense either, saying the team will continue to implement it. Rhoads said the team practiced an uptempo offense daily, before he decided it wasn’t the right fit and implemented what has been used most of the season. “It’s something that’s been a part of what we’ve been doing every week but not on a large scale,” Rhoads said. “We had a selective group of plays that we used [against Toledo], and our kids went out and executed.” Against a Texas defense that ranks top-10 in most categories for pass defense, the pass-heavy up-tempo offense may not see the

field like it did against Toledo. Even the fastest and most powerful offense in the nation, Baylor, struggled against the Longhorns, scoring a season-low 28 points and mustering only 111 passing yards from Bryce Petty. The Cyclones will likely resort to shorter passing routes, which gave them success against Toledo, and running plays to keep their defense off the field. After all, the longer the offense is on the field, the fewer chances the opposing team has of scoring. With both running back Aaron Wimberly and wide receiver Jarvis West anticipated to return from injury, they will give the Cyclones even more speed to use against the Longhorns. Just don’t expect the offense to be running at that same speed against the Longhorns.

Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily Redshirt junior quarterback Sam Richardson completes a pass during the Homecoming game Saturday. Though the Cyclones up-tempo offense earned the team a win against Toledo, it’s unlikely to be used again this season.

Volleyball preps for nonconference game By Harrison.March @iowastatedaily.com The Big 12 volleyball season is in full swing, with each team having faced at least half of its conference foes. On Wednesday at 7 p.m., however, the ISU volleyball team will head outside of Big 12 country for a trip 200 miles northwest to the University of South Dakota. The Cyclones (9-6, 2-3 Big 12) will square off against the Coyotes (127, 6-1 Summit League) in the middle of conference play for the second straight year. Last year in Ames, Iowa State swept South Dakota. On what would have otherwise been a bye week for the Cyclones, coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said this match fit into Iowa State’s schedule rather well. “I typically like to schedule at least one match

on a bye week, and we didn’t have a match [Oct. 8], so [the USD match] fell on that and worked great,” JohnsonLynch said. “They’ve been here so we owed them a return.” Working in the nonconference opponent instead of taking a week off is a benefit for the Cyclones, said outside hitter Morgan Kuhrt. “I think it’ll be a nice change,” Kuhrt said. “[It’s] more competition — just another chance to get better and work on some stuff.” South Dakota will not be a cupcake team scheduled to give Iowa State a mid-season break or an easy confidence boost. The Coyotes are ranked No. 62 of 334 teams in the latest Rating Percentage Index poll and have won 9-of-11 games, including all three at home. Picking up a road win against a quality team will go a long way toward boost-

ing Iowa State’s public perception, especially come NCAA tournament time, while also keeping the Cyclones fresh as Big 12 play rolls along afterward. “You need these [matches],” Johnson-Lynch said. “Sometimes for RPI, sometimes just to feel like you keep playing, and you’re not getting rusty because you haven’t played forever.” Coming off an emotional win Oct. 12 against Oklahoma, Iowa State won’t have much time to prepare. Luckily for them, the Coyotes are also in for a quick turnaround after a Sunday match. Though it will be important for Iowa State to keep that win in perspective, middle blocker Samara West said the excitement and energy from that match can be used to the Cyclones’ advantage. Aside from providing the Cyclones with a chance

for another nonconference road win to pad the resume, Johnson-Lynch has a chance to win her 200th match as head coach of the ISU volleyball team. “It’s awesome,” said libero Caitlin Nolan. “She’s the greatest coach I’ve ever had. You’re just happy for her.” In order to hit that milestone, however, the Cyclones cannot afford to overlook the Coyotes. Iowa State knows what needs to be done to get its first winning streak since before Big 12 play began. Now, it’s just a matter of execution. “We absolutely won’t be looking past them. In fact, we already talked about it in our [postgame] huddle,” Johnson-Lynch said. “They’re good. We’re playing them at [their] home … We’ll prepare very, very hard for them and try to be as ready as we possibly can be.”

As the temperature falls in Ames, wearing vests allows you to stay warm while looking stylish. Puffy and faux-fur vests can easily be layered atop of your current wardrobe to create a fashionable look.

Layered looks Utilize vests for staying warm, looking great By Miranda.Pollitt @iowastatedaily.com Fall weather calls for a new way of dressing. One way to create a layered look that keeps you warm is through wearing vests. From furry to puffy, vests are a great way to layer and create increased interest in an outfit that will take

you from chilly mornings to sunny afternoons. Puffy vests are a major trend this fall, for both men and women. From high end to low, there is an option for everyone. One can purchase vests from J. Crew, Old Navy, North Face and many other retailers around the local Ames and Des Moines area. Casual puffy vests are great to wear around campus. Women can simply put on a long sleeve shirt, sweater or sweatshirt and layer the vest on top. One can pair this look with either leggings or jeans de-

pending on personal preferences. To dress this look up, women can pair it with a chambray top and a statement necklace. To finish the look, throw on a pair of riding boots and high decorative socks to keep your feet warm. One way for men to dress up a puffy vest is to wear it with a collared button down shirt. This makes the look dressy and put together when attending class and meetings. Pair your vest and collared shirt with a pair of dark jeans or pants. Also, women could wear a pair of pants or

switch out with a skirt with tights. Sweater tights are a great option for transitioning to fall and winter because they keep your legs warmer than nylon tights. Another vest trend is faux fur vests. These are great for a warm, yet fashionable look. Women can pair a faux fur vest with a long sleeve dress, boots and tights for a fun and formal look. Layer your favorite jewelry pieces for an extra touch of sparkle. Adding a vest can not only keep one warm but also add interest to any outfit.

Puffy vests, a major trend this fall, can be found all over campus. Many retailers in the Ames and Des Moines area, like J. Crew, Old Navy and North Face, sell these types of vests.

Dress to impress for indoor, outdoor dates this fall By Thomas.Cheang @iowastatedaily.com The temperature around Ames may start to drop, but that doesn’t mean the heat of your love life should die down too. Going on dates with your significant other shouldn’t stop because of the frigid temperatures. Embrace the cooler temperatures of fall and visit some beautiful places

in Ames, both inside and outside. If you decide to plan an outdoor fall date, what are you going to wear to stay warm? Kate Kruse, junior in journalism and mass communication, shared a few attire suggestions based on where your date is planned and what you will be doing. If a couple wants to take a stroll through the park or take a trip to Reiman Gardens, ladies could wear something that rep-

licates the scenery, like a floral skirt, along with boots and a cozy sweater. Kruse suggested men wear a brightly colored oxford shirt with their choice of jeans and a pair of leather shoes. Kruse said she would wear a tee, skinny jeans and sneakers if her boyfriend planned a casual date to the park. She recommended guys wear a tee, comfortable shorts and shoes appropriate for walking in

the grass. As for casual lunch dates around Campustown, a simple yet comfortable T-shirt with leggings and a cute scarf would work well for women. As for the gentlemen, wearing a simple T-shirt, hoodie, jeans and shoes of their choice would make them feel the most comfortable around Campustown. Kruse said she would sport a patterned tank with a sweater, jeans and flats to

lunch. Kruse said her boyfriend would wear a plaid shirt with jeans and boat shoes, but any outfit that makes them feel comfortable is best. Did you and your significant other plan on going out to a romantic dinner at The Cafe and possibly a movie? Kruse suggested that women wear a dressy top with jeans and black flats. As for guys, a sweater with khakis and suede shoes would work

well in the atmosphere of The Cafe. Women could also wear a long dress and put on a sweater or coat while walking from the car. Longsleeved maxi dresses are also currently in style and can be found at many local boutiques in Ames. Men could sport a sharp jacket on top of a plain white Tshirt and nice pants or dark jeans. Leave the sneakers at home, and wear some fine leather shoes instead.

California market will be sent to egg markets in surrounding states, so Iowa will have other markets where it can export its eggs. “As the California market disappears given this law, other markets will expand to fill in at least part of the hole,” Hart said. Another element Iowa egg producers must take into consideration is price. Because the number of eggs going to California will decrease as a result of the new law, the price of the eggs will increase. Iowa egg producers must decide the price increase will justify the construction costs of new housing for chickens. “When you cut supply down, prices tend to rise,” said Hart. “The eggs are going to flow where the price

is right.” The law was originally passed with two aims in mind. The law is an attempt to better the treatment of animals. California lawmakers believe the humane treatment of chickens should include giving them space to lie down, stand up and extend their wings. The law was also put in place to eliminate California’s point of weakness in the egg-producing industry. “California is at a competitive disadvantage in the egg industry,” Schulz said. California egg pro ducers are concerned they would be at a disadvantage when competing with egg producers in other states who are not subject to the same rules. States that export eggs

Steven Moats, director of Student Disability Resources, discusses the various events for Disability Awareness Week on Monday.

AWARENESS p1 Moats said. Today students will be able to participate in an event called Step Into My World. This will allow students to experience what it would be like to have a disability. “No one will ever be able to step into someone else’s shoes but having an experience of being in a wheelchair or a power

scooter or using a blindfold to simulate blindness, those are all things that we will do tomorrow in the Step Into My World experience,” Moats said. The events throughout the week will be open to all students and faculty members, whether they are disabled or not. Vincent Lin, sophomore in political science, has cerebral palsy. He said that the community of disabled students on campus is a friendly environment. He feels that it’s best for students to use this week to learn about all the visible disabilities, and those unseen disabilities, around campus. “It’s different for everybody,” Lin said. “The fact that some people may look like they have disabilities and some people just have a mild version of whatever they have.” Tan Nguyen, senior in business economics and finance, has Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism. He said this week can help students with disabilities take on the problems they face each day. “Everyone has their struggle, but eventually we all make it through life,”

Nguyen said. The Student Disability Resources Office offers other resources to students as well. Non-disabled students might look over tasks they can do with ease that students with disabilities may find challenging. Simple tasks such as walking to and from class, taking tests, finding where to sit in class and being in different social situations can be difficult for a student with a disability. Lin says that he can walk to his classes, but it takes him some time to arrive. He rides the CyRide to get around campus faster than he could walk. Lin also tends to take his tests at the Hixson-Lied Student Success Center in order to take them in a quiet location. For Nguyen, social situations can sometimes add stress. With his Asperger’s syndrome, he said he is sometimes shy during social situations. He said he is constantly thinking about if he is acting appropriately for the situation he is in. “When it comes to hanging out with people I’m really shy because I’m always thinking, ‘Wait. What do I do? Is this nor-

state Commerce Clause, we would be 50 countries not 50 states.” Hayes said that a large part of our country’s prosperity comes from free trade. Specialization allows states to use what resources they have available to produce goods that can be traded freely with other states. If one state places a trade barrier on another state, such as the barrier to trade that California is placing on Iowa egg producers, other states may begin to do the same. A barrier on the import of eggs may lead to more barriers on other items, Hayes said. “It’s the snowball effect I worry about,” Hayes said. “Just pick your poison, and these things can snowball.”

to California, like Iowa, have a competitive advantage because of the lower cost of housing chickens in smaller spaces. Forcing these states to adhere to the same chicken housing guidelines as California will rid California of the inherent competitive disadvantage in the egg producing industry, Schulz said. The law has the potential to impact the country as a whole not only those states actively involved in the egg industry. The Interstate Commerce Clause says that states cannot enact trade barriers against products from other states. Hayes said the new law will essentially ignore the Interstate Commerce Clause. “California is about to do exactly that,” Hayes said. “Without the Inter-

mal? Is this what the social situation goes for?’” Nguyen said. Students with disabilities are encouraged to talk with their professors about their situation so they can be assisted and be successful in their classes. “You have to be open with your professors and your instructors,” Lin said. Lin said that once he began talking with his professors about his condition they were all accommodating and were willing to work with him. Moats said he hopes this week will draw students into the Student Disabilities Resources Office. He also hopes that they will develop an understanding of disabilities. “We all need to understand that disability and ability are like diversity characteristics, race, gender, sexual preference,” Moats said. “Ability is in the same category.” Moats said the community is supportive and diverse, and people come in with a variety of experiences and abilities. “There is a wide spectrum [of disabilities],” Lin said. “We exist and we can do normal life.”
