PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY PETER LEMKEN/IOWA STATE DAILY “In my perfect world, our school would be advocating loudly against voter ID laws in general, just because it affects their students,” Taylor Blair said. “They say that voting is a habit, and so if we are making it hard for people to vote and they stop voting, it’s unlikely that they’ll continue voting.”
ISU IDs not valid under voter ID law BY TYRUS.PAVICICH @iowastatedaily.com Students, public officials and action groups are asking Iowa State to make voting easier for students as Iowa’s new voter ID laws will be in partial effect for 2018’s midterm election. The law, signed in 2017 by former Gov. Terry Branstad and championed by Secretary of State Paul Pate, adds a requirement for voters to present a valid form of identification in order to ensure their eligibility, amongst other regulations, but some say this could pose a threat to the integrity of the system it was designed to protect. However, most of the law’s provisions won’t be in effect for this election, due to an injunction filed by Taylor Blair, president of Iowa State’s College Democrats, alongside the League of United Latin American Citizens of Iowa. As a result, unregistered voters without a valid ID will be allowed to register on election day by signing an affidavit swearing they are who they claim to be.
Students who want to register on election day will be able to verify their address using the “Vote Reg Address” tab on AccessPlus. Although student identification cards are recognized forms of ID under the new law, Iowa State IDs will not be allowed due to their lack of an expiration date. In a correspondence with Iowa State President Wendy Wintersteen, Pate urged the university to modify student ID cards to be acceptable forms of identification for voter registration and to provide official documentation to students which could be used as proof of residence. Wintersteen acknowledged the request but made no promises about revising ID cards, although the university subsequently added a digital proof of residence page to AccessPlus. Blair said, in his communications with the president’s office, he was told revisions to student IDs would likely be unfeasible. “They said that it’s too expensive, and they had reasons why it wouldn’t work with expiration dates because people are here for different amounts of time, stuff like that,” Blair said. “And I think that’s sad because one of the mottos for our school in the strategic
plans is something like creating knowledgeable citizens, I can’t remember what the words are exactly, but if we’re not going to help people vote I think that goes against our mission as a school.” Pate has since created a statewide “task force” featuring representatives from the Iowa regent universities, although Blair said the group has yet to meet. He criticized the university’s delayed action, saying he viewed the waiting on the task force’s decision as an excuse to “shirk their own responsibility.” Blair said he was disappointed, but not surprised, by the university’s response to the new law. “In my perfect world, our school would be advocating loudly against voter ID laws in general, just because it affects their students,” Blair said. “They say that voting is a habit, and so if we are making it hard for people to vote and they stop voting, it’s unlikely that they’ll continue voting.” University Relations Director, John McCarroll, said the university’s solution of including proof of residence on AccessPlus

Collin Daniel Richards pleads not guilty, court date set for Jan. 15 BY DEVYN.LEESON @iowastatedaily.com The man charged with murder in the first degree of Celia Barquín Arozamena pleaded not guilty, according to court documents. Collin Daniel Richards, 22, was charged with fi r s t - d e g re e mu rd e r on Sept. 17 after police found Richards with the weapon suspected of being used to kill Barquín Arozamena earlier that day. COLLIN Barquín Arozamena sufRICHARDS fered stab wounds to the upper torso, head and neck. A knife was recovered that had been in the possession of Richards, according to the criminal
complaint. Richards was obser ved to have fresh scratches on his face consistent with fighting, and he “attempted to conceal a deep laceration in his left hand,” according to the criminal complaint. Richards had an in-person arraignment scheduled Monday that was canceled. Instead, court documents indicate the plea was written and submitted to the court Monday morning. Paul W. Rounds, a public defender, is representing Richards. “I have been advised by the above-named attorney and understand that I have a right to arraignment in open court, and I hereby voluntarily waive that right, choosing instead to sign this written arraignment and plea of not guilty,” according to court documents Richards signed.
Judge Bethany Currie set the court date for Richards for Jan. 15, 2019 at 9 a.m., according to court documents filed Monday. A pretrial conference is scheduled for Dec. 17 at 1 p.m. in the Story County Courthouse in Nevada. Richards’ plea does not come as a surprise; Rounds told the Iowa State Daily on Sept. 19 that his client would plead not guilty to the charge of first-degree murder. “In my experience, the initial police reports rarely tell the whole story,” Rounds said at the time. “ We just hope that the people keep an open mind until the trial.” Richards has had an extensive criminal history as well. Among charges Richards has been convicted or plead guilty to are domestic abuse assault, first-degree harassment and third-degree attempted burglary.
Richards pleaded guilty to first offense first-degree domestic abuse assault in September 2015 from an incident that occurred on May 31, 2015. Richards was sentenced to a suspended sentence of 60 days in jail, one year of probation and $315 fine. Richards pleaded guilty to first-degree harassment in January 2017. Richards was sentenced to completion of an anger management program, two years of probation, a 90-day suspended jail sentence and a $625 fine. Richards pleaded guilty to third-degree attempted burglary and third-degree theft in January 2017 and was given a suspended sentence of two years in prison, two years of probation and a fine of $625.

Nutrition is global IOWA STATE DAILY
Forever True Fundraising BY MADELYN.OSTEDORF @iowastatedaily.com The Forever True, for Iowa State fundraising campaign reached its $1.1 billion goal nearly two years ahead of schedule. The campaign is focused on long-term fundraising to continue improving Iowa State and the future students who attend. Named after the university’s fight song, the campaign strives to uphold the values of a land-grant university and is in place to rally support for scholarships for Iowa State students, backing the faculty and improving facilities and programs on campus. Forever True, for Iowa State was publicly launched in September 2016 and was pitched to be an eight-year campaign to raise $1.1 billion by June 2020. The university announced the campaign had already reached its $1.1 billion goal Monday and would be increasing their future goal by $400 million and extending the campaign’s end time to June 2021, according a news release by the Iowa State Foundation. January 2017, Iowa State announced a $93 million gift, which was later raised to $145 million, in the form of a majority stock ownership of Curriculum Associates, LLC, to benefit the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences as apart of Forever True. The business school was gifted $50 million and renamed the Debbie & Jerry Ivy College of Business, making it the first college with a namesake. Also apart of the Forever True campaign was a $14 million donation to build a new feed and mill research facility. “We thank the donors for their support of Iowa State University,” said Elaine Watkins-Miller, director of communications for the Foundation. “Truly their generosity is appreciated at the university and making its education accessible for more students. It’s really powerful, what they are doing.” The Forever True campaign had three goals that mapped where the donations came from: Ensure access to an exceptional student experience that offers practical, global and leadership opportunities that shape the well-rounded citizens and informed critical thinkers needed in the 21st century. Advance Iowa State as a world leader in addressing global challenges affecting our food, water, energy, health, security and environment. Accelerate Iowa State’s contributions to the social good by extending its expertise, knowledge and values to improve quality of life within our state and throughout the nation and world.
TATE WEAVER/ IOWA STATE DAILY David Nabbaro (left) and Lawrence Haddad (right) discuss the importance of food sustainability and nutrition, especially in Iowa where food is easily produced, and distributed. The Norman Borlaug lecture took place Monday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.
Lecturers urge countries to prioritize health BY JORDYN.DUBOIS @iowastatedaily.com Lawrence Haddad and David Nabarro, the 2018 World Food Prize Laureates, spoke about why nutrition should be a global priority Monday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. Wendy Wintersteen, Iowa State’s president, moderated the conversation. Haddad and Nabarro’s lecture, “Why Good Nutrition should be a Global Priority and How to make it happen,” was the 17th Norman Borlaug lecture. The lecture was named after Norman Borlaug, whose international work in wheat research and production earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. Borlaug founded the World Food Prize which recognizes individuals’ achievements who help improve the quality, quantity and availability of food in the world and further improving human development annually, according to the lectures program website. Haddad said there are 800 million people in the world who are hungry, which is equivalent to 1 in 7 people. He also said that 1 in
3 people are not getting the correct food. The first step in solving this, Haddad said, is convincing people their diets need to change. “People don’t just get sick because of bacteria or viruses getting into their bodies, they’re often also getting sick because of the environments in which they live,” Nabarro said. Haddad said in every country in the world, diet is among the top five or six factors for the cause of disease. Every country has a problem with its diet impacting its health, and every country can contribute to the solution, he said. The next step is figuring out how to get the countries to work together, learn together, sit down and figure out how these problems are going to be solved, Haddad said. One of the key steps in order to solve this is to convince policymakers that hunger is an issue, and by properly nourishing the world, we will address all of those terms. Nabarro’s work is aimed at the policy makers who are already convinced proper nutrition is a worldwide issue. Nabarro is working to get food companies to take into consideration the
manufacturing and marketing of food that is actually nutritious and sustainable.Nabarro’s goal is for companies to not see this as a way to make a lot of money, but to help decrease hunger and increase nutrition for every person on the planet. “You’ve got to be brave, you’ve got to have courage to get out of the comfort zone because that’s where the magic happens. Outside the comfort zone,” Haddad said. Haddad and Nabarro engage with businesses that are making poor decisions for nutrition as a whole. In order for this to happen they must understand what’s driving them and help them figure out how to change that. Abba Hoffman, sophomore in nutritional science, global resource systems and exercise science, asked the pair “how they are going to change the cultural beliefs of consumers?” Nabarro said consumers have to drive a lot of the cultural change, but in order for this to happen policy makers have to work with marketing agencies who know how to sell things, to make the message stick and become a part of the public.
‘Where are all the black people?’ BY MACY.OTT @iowastatedaily.com Ericka Hart, human rights activist, breast cancer survivor and sexuality educator, will speak at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. Hart’s lecture will focus on challenging “antiblack culture” and the importance of addressing sexual expression. She will also discuss human health and how it relates to race, gender, chronic illness and disability. At the age of 28, Hart was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. After her diagnosis, she realized that neither her identity as a queer black woman, nor her sex life as a
survivor, was featured prominently in her treatment. Hart has a masters degree in human sexuality from Widener University and has taught sexuality education to elementary aged students in New York for 10 years. Her work in sexuality education started when she volunteered in the Peace Corps educating people in Ethiopia on HIV/AIDS from 2008 to 2010. Hart is aiming to shift cultural norms and people’s attitudes on chronic illness. She also speaks about anti-black standards and black standards of beauty. People around the world admire Hart for her ability to use her voice to speak for cancer survivors, activists and artists alike.

HackISU: Students hack for 36 hours
Sam Gutermuth is working on a project for HackISU. HackISU is a 36-hour session where tech savvy creators go to produce a project from scratch.
BY SEBASTIAN.KREMBUSZWESKI @iowastatedaily.com The 10th annual HackISU hackathon will take place this weekend over the span of 36 hours at the Vermeer Applied Technology Hub/ISU Startup factory. At the hackathon, students code from 8 p.m. on Friday until 8 a.m. on Sunday, to create software, apps, hacks of their own and other technology related inventions. In teams and individually, students will compete with one another to try and win prizes that are awarded to those with the best inventions at the end of the competition. There are a multitude of different categories including software, hardware, funniest hack and most ethical hack. Ally Cunningham, president of HackISU, said the event has increased in participants over the last couple of years and has gained endorsements from companies like Optum, Cortiva, Zirous and others. “HackISU is definitely an invention convention, we’ve
seen things as far as apps, different things with augmented reality, and that’s just on the beginner’s side,” Cunningham said. Employees from some of the sponsored companies help judge the competition for each category. The 36 hour event is not just for computer or mechanical engineers, but for anyone who wants to test their skills with technology and put their creativity to the test. “People who come from different backgrounds just wanting to learn something that they normally wouldn’t learn are more than welcome,” Cunningham said. This year, there will be different events added to the hackathon for “hackers” to participate in as well. “We are really excited to implement different mini events throughout the event and different decor options, make things more fun and interactive,” Cunningham said. “We are really excited to bring that to our hackers.” Nathan Whitcome, junior in computer engineering, will be attending the event this weekend.
IOWA STATE DAILY
This is Whitcome’s third year participating, and he is excited to put his knowledge to the test, but also have a good time. “It’s fun, it lets me explore different things I can do with code in an environment that’s competitive and pushes me forward, but mostly to have fun,” Whitcome said. Christopher Olsen, a junior and computer engineer, will be attending his first hackathon this year in hopes that he can compete with the dozens of others in attendance. “This year I am motivated because I feel like I have more confidence in my ability to code and create stuff,” Olsen said. “I also wanna test my abilities and test the stuff that I have learned.” Since the event extends the entire weekend, they will provide free food and the option for students to spend the night at the building to work on their projects for as long as they want. To register for the event, go to hackisu.org. Registration is free for the event.
$250,000 deal on the table BY TALON.DELANEY @iowastatedaily.com Big changes could be coming to Ames. Tuesday’s City Council meeting will discuss preparations for funding and assigning a comprehensive plan to guide the city through projected growth and expansion into the year 2040. The city set aside $250,000 in the 201718 fiscal year budget to prepare this project, and requested proposals to nearly 30 different consulting firms to aid with the plans. Nine of those firms responded. The council will also discuss plans to alter parking policies in the downtown area and ideas for expanding neighborhood workshop programs. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Ames City Council Chambers. Ames City staff evaluated the nine consulting firms that responded and ranked them “based on a combination of the cost, understanding of the community and project requirements, qualifications and experience… experience with similar projects, response from references, and the proposed timeline for the completion of the plan,” according to City Council documents.
The Des Moines-based company RDG Planning and Design ranked number one but the council has yet to decide which firm will be awarded the quarter million dollar contract. Possible changes to parking in Ames’s downtown district comes from a public want for more employee parking in the area, as well as a referral for a comprehensive parking study. The study could cost as much as $125,000, and would “define the existing and future parking supply and demand conditions and also locations where parking capacity is an issue,” according to council documents. Employees are having issues with parking throughout the day, and are receiving tickets due to a lack of parking options in the district. The council will discuss possible amenities to this issue but don’t want to infringe on any parking revenue generated in the area. The City of Ames has multiple neighborhood programs focused on community engagement like Street N Greet, Curb Replacement, Street Painting and a variety of grants. If the council agrees, they will discuss measure to expand these programs, such as updating neighborhood association websites and adding on to new programs at another meeting.

LETTER
Greenlee is here to help
BY AMANDA CROW acrow@iastate.edu Hi Peyton Spanbauer, I’m one of those agriculture majors you mentioned a week ago. While I want to be empathetic toward your experience here. I keep shaking my head in disbelief. I love my major, my department, my college and my university. I was terrified to attend Iowa State University four years ago because I was worried I would turn into a number, maybe similar to what you’re feeling? I can say with confidence though, I am not a number here. Every connection I’ve made over the last four years has been valuable to me. I’m not saying that you “did college wrong” or even that you chose the wrong majors. I can tell through your words though that I’m leaving Iowa State more confident in my experiences than you are. This isn’t because the university is giving me more opportunities because I’m an agriculture major. I took chances meeting new people, traveled new places and took full advantage of the opportunities that come with being a cyclone. In your defense, I will agree CALS Career Services kicks butt to prepare CALS students. Workshops for fine-tuning resumes, writing cover letters and creating portfolios. An etiquette dinner was hosted free of charge for 60 students. AND I mean 275+ companies came to Ames on Oct. 9 to meet students — of course I’m going to attend and soak up these opportunities! BUT there is not a single reason you couldn’t too. Anyone can bring a unique perspective to any one of the companies at the career fair. I know CALS students that go to the engineering fair to connect with companies because some businesses need employees that specialize in marketing just as much as they need engineers. The entire list of companies was available online. If one peaked your interest, why didn’t you come? As a liberal arts and sciences student, you may think you’re “stuck” with your career fair but last time I checked, there wasn’t a sign at the CALS career fair that said you couldn’t come in. Sharpen that resume, bring questions and start introducing yourself ! The main area of professional credits in my agricultural communications program are focused on journalism. I don’t believe for one second that you can’t find an internship with your majors. I am able to enter the workforce because I took the initiative to make my major my own. I studied horticulture and agronomy only to take an internship with the livestock side of agriculture for a national commodity group. How are you best using your major to sell yourself and your skillset? I’ll be honest, I do have a lot of support here on campus. There’s no way I would be who I am without the connections I made right here in Ames. My adviser suggests courses to push me each semester. I have former employers here to give advice and I regularly meet with our career services staff. Can’t you see though that this is because of my own efforts? I took the initiative to build these relationships because I wanted the most out of my college experience. Don’t tell me the university isn’t doing enough for you. The leverage you have that comes with being an Iowa State Cyclone is astounding, are you using it?

Alec Norem (Left) talks to a student about the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication.
Students should use resources BY ANGELA POWERS powers@iowastatedaily.com If your palms become clammy or your heart races when you think about finding and completing an internship, we at the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication want you to know you’re not alone – and we’re here to help. Our Jump-Start Internship and Networking Fair will be held from noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 17, in the Memorial Union, and you’re invited. With almost 40 employers in attendance, this approachable, boutique-style fair is open to all students, especially those seeking communications-related jobs in advertising, news, radio, television, digital media, public relations, corporate communication and more. These
employers are looking specifically for interns who are skilled in these fields. As an accredited program, the Greenlee School has one of the most successful internship programs in the nation in journalism and mass communication. Because internships are required of all our advertising, journalism and public relations majors, we go the extra mile and make sure students benefit from the experience. Academic adviser Juli Probasco-Sowers coordinates the internship program at the Greenlee School and helps students identify relevant internship experiences while faculty members oversee the students once in progress, along with the employer. According to Probasco-Sowers, “Finding the right internship can be time-consuming, anxiety-filled and decision-dense.” But it pays off. As of the 2016-17 academic year, Greenlee majors have a 93 percent placement rate. One reason employers hire our students is because they have real-world experience. We know that unpaid and under-paid

E15 use a win for Iowa Cereals. Snacks. Chewing gum. Peanut butter. Ethanol. What do all these have in common? They all involve Iowa’s claim to fame: corn. Corn took the national spotlight last week as President Donald Trump hosted a rally in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Trump highlighted his new effort to boost E15 (a gas with 15 percent ethanol, 85 percent gasoline) use year round. Now, most gas sold across the United States contains up to 10 percent ethanol. Previous to the Trump administration, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had policies in place to ban the use of E15 in the summer due to pollution concerns. Though some say there is no difference in pollution from the E10 to the E15. A Iowa State report found that Trump’s trade policies have cost Iowa
internships put a burden on students and their families. To address the financial stress, we offer internship scholarships for Greenlee students. Last year we awarded $32,000 in internship scholarships to 17 students to help offset the costs of living away from campus for a summer, paying rent and more. Just this fall, LAS Career Services also rolled out a scholarship program for LAS students with unpaid internships. Greenlee also partners with LAS Career Services on workshops, and we routinely refer students for more assistance in finding internships, developing interview skills, writing resumes and more. Check out our other resources to help you in your search year-round. If you find yourself struggling to land an internship or you’re unsure about the process, come talk to us. Our industries are changing rapidly, but the need for effective, skilled and ethical communicators is greater than ever – and completing an internship as part of your degree will help you fill those roles.
farmers up to $2.2 billion. On top of that, the recent flooding has left farmers worried about losing crops. In an ideal situation, this new policy would be a win on multiple fronts. First, E15 is a cleaner burning fuel, so it’s a win for the environment. A 2015 study found if the major corn producing states switched from E10 yearround to E15, an estimated 3.4 million metric tons of C02 would be avoided. Second, the new ethanol policy would help cut back some of the $2.2 billion loss, especially considering Iowa is the nation’s largest ethanol producer. Whether or not you think Trump made this announcement because of the recent trade war or because he really wants to promote year-round E15 use, this move is a win for Iowa farmers, and should be treated as such.

Cyclones running wild Iowa State finds success on the ground
shootout against Oklahoma State and a slow start against West Virginia. It’s also worth noting Iowa State flipflopped its quarterbacks last November — a trend the Cyclones carried into 2018. During its hot stretch, Iowa State started Kyle Kempt every game in October 2017. So far, freshman Brock Purdy has started both games in October.
BY TREVOR.HOLBROOK @iowastatedaily.com The expectations certainly changed around Iowa State’s football program after its 17-14 loss to Texas Christian University. Fans’ minds wondered from ‘Can Iowa State push for the Big 12 Championship game?’ before the season, to ‘Will the Cyclones even make a bowl?’ after its third loss in four games. Since then, Iowa State has flipped the narrative, knocking off Oklahoma State and West Virginia and boosting its record to 3-3. The wins over a pair of ranked opponents aren’t the first time a Matt Campbell-led Iowa State team showcased streakiness. After shaking up the quarterback position in 2017, Iowa State rattled off four wins in October, defeating Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas Tech and TCU. When Halloween hit, the scariest thing in Ames was the upcoming Cyclone schedule. In November, Iowa State lost a trio of close games to West Virginia, Oklahoma State and Kansas State. The Cyclones did manage to knock off Baylor, 23-13 with Zeb Noland orchestrating the offense. This season, the Cyclones hit their rough patch at the start of the season and have followed a similar path in October so far. Looking at the October and November stats last season reveals the foundation of what the Cyclones need to establish to turn around their season. Passing In October last season, the Cyclones averaged 31 pass attempts per game for 243.5 yards per game, while scoring nine touchdowns

through the air. In November, they averaged almost 38 pass attempts per game for 269.8 yards per game with seven passing touchdowns. In September 2018, Iowa State averaged about 32 pass attempts a game for 210.3 yards per game and four touchdowns. In the two October wins, Iowa State averaged 25 pass attempts for 289.5 yards per game.
The fewer pass attempts in October 2017 is partially a result of better defense. Iowa State’s newly-introduced three-man front challenged opposing offenses, allowing an average of about 13 points per game. In November, opponents averaged almost 26 points per game, meaning Iowa State was often pushed to throw more, including its
Rushing After a slow start, tallying 19 rushing yards against Iowa, the Cyclones improve as the season ages. Against Oklahoma, Iowa State gained 87 yards on the ground. Iowa State managed 132 rushing yards against Akron, 119 against TCU, 140 against Oklahoma State and 244 against West Virginia. While the yardage improved, the volume of carries is important to look at. Iowa State’s only win in September came when the Cyclones called more rushing plays than it’s opponents. Fast-forward to October, and Iowa State averaged 42.5 rush attempts per game and averaged 192 yards. The added element of Purdy’s ability to run opened up the rushing game. Against Oklahoma State, he busted out for 84 rushing yards and a touchdown. He was limited on the ground against West Virginia, but the rushing skills still forced the Mountaineers to remain honest. In October 2017, the Cyclones actually totaled fewer yards per game than in November with 112 yards per game compared to 133.8. Once again, the volume is key. Despite fewer yardage, Iowa State attempted 144 rush attempts in October to 128 in November. With a defensive team, Iowa State needed some sort of rushing attack to eat clock and rest its defense. With a shoddy offensive line play early in the season and a banged up Montgomery at times, Iowa State overcame a poor rushing attack it featured in the first few games to propel it to success. The running combination of Purdy and Montgomery figures to play a key role in Iowa State’s defense against the November woes.
Iowa State’s long-range weapon Terrence Lewis looks to fill a void in Cyclones’ offense BY AARON.MARNER @iowastatedaily.com Terrence Lewis’ college basketball career didn’t get off to the best start. Lewis, a member of Iowa State’s 2017 recruiting class, made his debut in Iowa State’s 15-point loss at Missouri last year. He played 15 minutes, scoring two points on 1-of-5 shooting. His next game was a lot of the same. Sixteen minutes on the court resulted in three points on 1-of-4 shooting as lost to Milwaukee. “It was a learning experience for me last year, really,” Lewis said. Entering year two as a Cyclone, Lewis said he’s ready to step into a bigger role. After last year’s last-place Big 12 finish, coach Steve Prohm will take any help his team can get. Lewis picked up his play toward the end of last season. Iowa State was reeling from injuries to Nick Weiler-Babb, Zoran Talley Jr., Hans Brase and Solomon Young at various points in the season. When Donovan Jackson’s father died in February and he missed a game to be with family, Lewis was thrust into the
starting lineup. “I think his biggest role right now, he’s gotta make shots for us,” Prohm said. “He’s gotta be a guy who can really make shots and can really defend. The one thing he does well that people may not notice is he’s got a good knack for offensive rebounds.” Prohm reiterated his point about defending on the perimeter and making open shots. With star guard Lindell Wigginton back for his sophomore year as well, along with the return of Weiler-Babb, the Cyclones keep most of their production at guard. Iowa State also brought in Marial Shayok, a transfer from Virginia, and freshmen Talen Horton-Tucker and Tyrese Haliburton, who will also fight for playing time. Lewis knows he’ll need to bring something extra to the table if he wants playing time. “I think he just has to develop a level of consistency,” said Daniyal Robinson, assistant coach. “He’s a guy that we see as being able to make shots. If he can continue to make shots and do the little things on the defensive end, the opportunities will come.” Lewis’ best basketball came in late February last season. He scored 12 points in back-to-back games against West Virginia and Oklahoma State. In the latter game, he went 4-of-5 on 3-pointers and added five rebounds and an assist in 25 minutes. Iowa State struggled with perimeter shooting in 2017-18. Jackson and Wigginton hit 40 percent of their 3-pointers and hit 95 and 69 3-pointers, respectively, but Jackson graduated. Nobody else on last year’s team hit more than 20 3-pointers, which led to fewer driving lanes for guards and more

double-teams for post players like Young and Cameron Lard. Being able to spread the floor more will be key for the 2018-19 team, and Lewis could be a part of that. “Really just being more aggressive,” Lewis said. “Last year I was kinda timid — like what shots I can make, what shots I can’t make — but this year’s going to be a big year for me really, just seeing where I’m at. I’m just waiting for the season to start.”

would allow students the same benefits without having to invest in new ID cards. “The university treasurer indicated some time ago that the cost of putting expiration dates on the ISU card would be cost prohibitive,” McCarroll said. “It is my understanding that all three of the public universities are taking similar steps.” While a digital proof of residence may help to protect the Iowa State student body’s ability to vote, the law could potentially disenfranchise the 11 percent of adult Iowa residents who do not own a driver’s license, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa. It would also disproportionately impact certain groups, such as the black and elderly populations, which both have a higher rate of individuals without driver’s licenses, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa. These concerns are what led Blair and others to enter the lawsuit. “We asked for a temporary injunction on certain parts of the law being implemented for this election, until the whole lawsuit is settled or finished, and we won that for the most part,” Blair said. “This is like a stopgap measure, allowing us to use the (student) ID like a Band-Aid. The problem is the ID law, but it’s something that the school should be allowing us to use.” Pate said this should not be an issue, as voters without an accepted form of identification can receive a free voter ID card upon registering to vote. However, online voter registration requires either a government-issued ID card or a driver’s license, meaning anyone in need of a voter ID card would be forced to register by mail once the law goes into full effect in 2019. In order to submit the registration form, the potential voter has to print the document, travel to a post office, pay for postage and then wait to receive their card in the mail. The ACLU argues that these additional obstacles could dissuade voters, and that travel time and the cost of gathering and mailing documents puts a price on voter IDs. “It’s just an extra hoop for out of state students to jump through, or people who don’t have driver’s licenses, which I didn’t get my driver’s license until I was 21,” Blair said. “If you look

at the people who these ID bills affect across the nation, like if you look at turnout rates and stuff like that, and look at the rates of who has certain IDs, it disproportionately affects people who tend to vote for Democrats.” Referencing a statement Pate made in October 2016, Blair said the law was unnecessary because Iowa’s elections were already secure. “It adds an extra barrier to vote that ’s unneeded because our elections are secure,” Blair said. “There were like three or four people caught in Iowa in 2016, but there were millions of votes cast. It’s a solution in search of a problem because the problem they’re trying to solve, of voter fraud, doesn’t exist to a statistical extent.” Pate said his statement was not a denial of fraudulent voting in Iowa and was instead targeted at claims of outside interference in the
presidential election. He said Iowa’s vote was not susceptible to Russian hackers or other external entities due to the state’s usage of a paper-based system. “My response was, I don’t believe there’s massive organized fraud in our elections in Iowa,” Pate said. “Do I think there are bad actors who do commit fraud in voting? Yes. We know that for a fact. We have prosecuted them, and we’ll continue to do that.” In addition to increasing Iowa residents’ confidence in the security of their elections, Pate said requiring valid identification makes it easier for the state’s electronic poll book to keep track of voters. Pate pointed to the law’s other elements requiring county auditors to report each case of potential voter fraud to their county attorney, who in turn must report all instances and the
results of their investigation to the secretary of state’s office. He said there was no such requirement in place previously. By streamlining the electronic system and tracking cases of fraud, Pate said he hopes they will be able to ensure that those who are ineligible are not voting and not discouraging eligible voters’ participation. To achieve that, the state will accept several different forms of identification, including tribal IDs issued by Native American reservations. Pointing to June’s high primary turnout as evidence the new law has not discouraged Iowa voters, Pate said the issue is the misrepresentation of voter ID laws rather than the laws themselves. Based on the information shared in several Iowa publications, Pate said, many voters may be discouraged from voting this year because they believe they need valid identification when, for the 2018 election, they can register to vote at their polling location by signing an oath swearing their stated identity is accurate. “We see people continuing to put misinformation out there, and that’s just not right,” Pate said. “That’s the kind of thing that could disenfranchise voters because they could misinterpret something and go well, okay, guess I can’t vote today because I didn’t bring my ID.” If groups are displeased with the new law, he said, they should work to accurately inform their members as to how they could participate in the election to vote for new representatives who could overturn it. Ultimately, Pate said he stands by the law and believes the small inconvenience of needing to bring an ID is a small price to pay to participate in an election. “We have to demonstrate some responsibility here,” Pate said. “And if the responsibility is bringing your driver’s license or an ID or whatever is acceptable to go in and vote for the president of the United States or the governor of your state, I’m not seeing how that’s an unrealistic expectation.” Those looking to pre-register to vote can do so before Oct. 27 by bringing a form to their county auditor’s office or filling out the online registration at https://mymvd. iowadot.gov. Otherwise, voters can register at their polling place when they go to vote Nov. 6.
