Dandiya Dance honors culture Indian Students’ Association hosts celebration in MU By Jake.Dalbey @iowastatedaily.com Memorial Union was ablaze with sound and color Saturday when it hosted Dandiya Night celebration, an event of dance and music put on by the ISU Indian Students’ Association. Attendees of the event learned the importance of the Dandiya Dance, a traditional Indian dance. “[Dandiya] is generally observed in the festivities of Navratri, which is an Indian festival of nine

day and nine nights,” said Nancy Manchanda, graduate in computational biology and public relations officer for the Indian Students’ Association. Sohail Suryavanshi, senior in electrical engineering, said Navratri itself translates to ‘Nav,” which means nine and “Ratri” means night in Hindi. The night featured two forms of dance, Garba and Dandiya. Both dances involve moving in a circular formation in relation to the music being played, and Garba is performed with claps. Dandiya, which is Hindu for sticks, was the featured event during the celebration. It incorporated brightly colored sticks as dancers move from partner to partner, striking each other’s sticks inside two circles. Dandiya is rooted in the cul-

had to be slain by a female,” said Vivek Lawana, graduate assistant in biomedical sciences and former Indian Students’ Association president. “Because of this, females are praised during this

Let’s talk education

2016 candidates share differing stances on key issue By ISD Politics Team

Almost everyone agrees the cost of college and the mountain of debt that students face once they graduate is problematic — but Democrats and Republicans disagree on how to address the issue. As of 2014, Iowa ranks ninth in the nation for highest average student debt upon graduation, according to a study from the Institute for College Access & Success. The study found that on average, Iowa students graduate with almost $30,000 in debt. Where do the current presidential candidates stand? While the candidates have differing ideas — everything from making public college tuition free, to forgiving some student debt, to incentivizing colleges to keep costs down, to innovation at colleges — candidates’ stances generally reflect their party’s. Illustration: Chelsey Crile/Iowa State Mack Shelley, professor of political science, explained how the two major parties generally talk about education: Daily “[Democrats] typically want to put more money in education.

ISU professor develops new technologies By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com For Ran Dai, the choice of her profession was simple: she was good at mathematics, good at problem solving and knew she wanted to take those skills and apply them to the real world. And now she is. Dai, assistant professor and Black and Veatch Faculty Fellow in aerospace engineering, is earning a five-year $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation’s Faculty Early Career Development Program. She began research a little more than a year ago on self-sufficient, powermanaging, solar-powered robots. She hopes her current research, inspired by her work while she was a fellow,

will allow a robot to be able to identify its surrounding environment and be able to better adjust its positioning to be able to permanently work outside for long durations of time by charging automatically. “I got inspired by this idea when I worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Washington. In that job, I was responsible to develop a powermanagement system for 787 Boeing aircraft, the most fuel-efficient aircraft in the world,” Dai said. Dai further begged the next question as a baseline that created the research she is conducting today. “If we have nuclear power supply in a robotics system, which can be worked on the ground or in the air, how can we allocate the nuclear power to different electrical units

and make a robotic system operate longer and have a longer endurance?” Dai asked. Kishan Patel, senior in aerospace engineering, has been working with Dai for the past two years on the solar-powered robots. The robots, which don’t exactly fall in line with Patel’s path of study, originally started as something to put on his résumé, but the more he worked on the project, the more interested he became. These solar-power robots, as outlined by Patel, should accomplish the “Three D’s once they are completed.” “Dull, dirty and dangerous,” Patel said. Patel further explained what each ‘D’ stands for. He said dull means the robots could go for long durations, they could monitor the en-

vironment and they could do surveillance. Dirty entails sending robots or rovers into places humans shouldn’t go, such as radioactive zones. Dangerous means be sending robots or rovers into natural disaster zones or war zones. Because of the solarpowered technology research Dai and her team are conducting, these robots will have the characteristics of the “three D’s,” and subsequently need no human-interaction to tell them what to do, where to go or when or how to recharge. These robots, by the end, should be completely self-sufficient. The motivation, as stated on a poster created by Dai’s team in the lab reads, “We seek to minimize the travel time of a solar-powered unmanned ground vehicle through

an area with negligible net energy loss.” Dai’s team consists of graduate students Adam Kaplan and Chuangchuang Sun along with undergraduate assistants Nathaniel Kingry, Patel and Justin Van Den Top. The team is currently heading its third generation of the land robot and hopes to move its research outdoors. The ultimate goal would be to have air and ground robots that can work together to, for example, have the air robot notify the ground robot of any obstacles in its path. “In the future, we will house solar-powered [unmanned aerial vehicles] and hope that [the air and ground robots] will work in a collaborating way,” Dai said. “The solar-powered UAVs have a wide field of view and they can predict

the power, I will say the solar radiation in a larger area, and they will guide the ground robot and make the robot work more efficiently.” This technology is the forefront of an entire new field. Patel said when they first started the project and looked to see if anyone else was researching the same technologies, not a lot of results showed up. These self-sufficient, solar-powered robots should eventually be able to carry algorithms, microcontrollers, solar panels, wireless connections, voltage current sensors, GPS technology and cameras, according to the team. They will also be able to map solar density, manage power supplies and best plan for maximum efficiency, the team said in a news release last week.

Cherry pies return to menu at Iowa State By Tianxin.Wen @iowastatedaily.com Nothing closes out a week like a refreshing cherry pie, and the College of Human Sciences was happy to provide them Friday during its first Food and Fun Fest. The week-long celebration of Human Science Week concluded Friday with the festival, which featured the college’s rich tradition of entrepreneurship. Iowa State’s famous cherry pies, which were previously sold during Veishea, made an appearance at the fest. The Food and Fun Fest took place at the south entrance of MacKay Hall, and cherry pies were on sale for $2. More than 1,600 pies were produced this year for the celebration, and the money that was raised will all go back to the students. “All the money will go for the student scholarships,” said John Kramer, coordinator of Joan Bice Underwood Tearoom and senior lecturer in apparel, events and hospitality management. The students in hospitality management, as well as three faculty members, helped make the cherry pies by either filling in the crust or baking them. The cherry pies this year were also larger than previous years. “We were doing cherry pies two or three years before the Veishea [celebration] ever started,” Kramer said. “This is the first time

IRHA steps up Living on campus can be daunting, but Fall Fest attempts to make students in residence halls feel like part of a community. Inter-Residence Hall Association members have been preparing for this year’s upcoming Fall Fest, which is taking place this week. Fall Fest will feature an event each day on campus that is designed for students living in the residence halls. Food, games and prizes will be offered throughout the week at the event. “[Fall Fest] is intended to give back to the community,” said Lindsay Koehler, sophomore in public relations and IRHA public relations director. A schedule of each day’s Fall Fest events is listed below. Monday A Halloween-themed dive-in movie night will take place at the State Gym pool Monday. Tuesday THIRD ANNUAL

Thursday Caramel apples will be available near the Union Drive Community Center on Thursday during the day. Friday A highlighter dance in Linden Hall will conclude this year’s Fall Fest activities. “This year, we wanted to focus on bigger events and pricier events,” Koehler said. With about a $13,000 budget, IRHA has the means to do just that and has the opportunity to organize a Fall Fest that can cater to all of the students living in residence halls. IRHA and event director committees choose events based on what is most popular and what has worked well in the past. The Fall Fest’s focus is directed toward residence hall students and focuses on the family aspect that can be incorporated in the

ISU graduate students helped people better understand the field of graphic design Oct. 10 and 11 with a gallery at a downtown Ames studio. Master of Fine Arts graduate students recently filled the lower half of the Design on Main building, a local art studio, with their work, which was on display for the public. The event was part of the Ames Area Community Tour that allowed people to tour studios across Ames. Jennifer Drinkwater, assistant professor of art and visual culture and community art extension specialist, showcased her own art in the project and extended an invitation to others in the College of Design to show their own. Samantha Barbour and Meriesa Elliott, both graduate students in graphic design, displayed their work in the studio. “We started setting up the studio to be a little more inviting

and set up things that the community could be involved with,” Barbour said. Many of the displays were interactive, such as a sandbox that was designed by Elliott with the help of her husband. The sandbox demonstrated water runoff and taught people how to prevent runoff in cities and farms. The pair also used the gaming software Unity and an Xbox Kinect to project dancing visitors onto the walls as stick figures. “It’s more for interaction design about the user and emotional design,” Elliott said. The end goal for Elliott, and her thesis, is to use interaction design to grab people’s attention and raise environmental awareness. “It stays in their mind longer than just a poster or anything that’s static,” Elliott said. “If it’s emotional, it will attract you, and if you can interact with it, you will share it.

Marine ROTC students prep for their career By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com

As temperatures dipped to almost freezing Friday night, many students wrapped themselves in blankets to brave one of the first real fall nights. Marine ROTC midshipmen, however, camped out Friday and Saturday at the YMCA woods for their annual fall field training exercise. The purpose was to have the midshipmen prepare themselves for their future in the Marine Corps. The training, which was the freshmen’s first

Some Navy ROTC midshipmen also volunteered as enemies or obstacles during the weekend to help the Marines act out their training exercise. Midshipmen conducted land navigation and ran small-unit leadership evaluation missions in the woods. The midshipmen are tested on these missions during Officer Candidate School. A l l M a r i n e s a r e r equired to go through Officer Candidate School and they usually take it after

their junior year. “All this stuff we’re doing here, that’s basically what they do at the first six weeks [of Officer Candidate School],” said midshipman Adam Pollard, senior in interdisciplinary studies. Pollard, who has been through the school and helped plan the fall field training exercise, talked about the comparison between when he first participated his freshman year and now. “Like I said, this is the first experience that we get out in the field,” Pollard said. “I remember having a lot of fun with it. Definitely eye-opening for me because you learn so much in class but you don’t really think of doing it, or you do but not actually to the extent when you’re out there.”

Pollard said Marines either have an ‘Oh, this makes sense now’ or an ‘Oh crap, I don’t know what I’m doing,’ feeling. “I remember my freshman year, the biggest takeaway I got from it all was that I didn’t eat enough food during the day,” Pollard said. Pollard also recalls not drinking enough water. “It’s just sort of the thing you get told about, but you just got to learn it the hard way,” Pollard said. For sophomores and juniors participating in the fall field training exercise, it’s one of their first opportunities to step up and take on some kind of leadership. “It’s just another way to get them to make sure they know what they are doing and build some confidence,” Pollard said.

About 90 people attended the free-to-thepublic event. The event attracted a crowd of graphic design alumni, parents and prospective students. Parents were particularly surprised to see what the field encompassed. “A lot of times you have family members that don’t really get it. They don’t understand what graphic designers are,” Barbour said. “They just think you go and make a brochure or a logo and that’s what your day job is.”

Some older members of the community also came and engaged with the interactive work. While the event was set up by Barbour and Elliot, it displayed more than just their work. It showed the public what the entire department at Iowa State is capable of and aimed to diminish the logo-and-poster stigma graphic designers face. Barbour said events such as this could potentially lead to a student being offered a job or internship.

“We actually had people walk in and ask us about specific jobs that day and if students would be interested in working on them,” Barbour said. Design on Main is also a workspace for both graduate and undergraduate design students. Master of fine arts students use the building to work on their thesis and projects. This is the first year graphic design students have had a room of their own in the building.

Students’ Association when creating the event was approachability and ease of entry. ”It’s basic steps that we teach, Manchanda said. “It can get complex, but not all Indian people know about this dance.” Dandiya is primarily a Western Indian dance, meaning people to the south and east may not be aware or familiar with the dance.

”Even those who don’t know the dance can come to our events,” Manchanda said. “Some people think, ‘Oh, I don’t know the dance,’ but that’s OK, we can teach you.” Lawana said the participation made the event even better. “Overall, it was a very good turnout,” Lawana said.” I’m happy because everyone danced. I wasn’t sure if we’d be able to get

through all three dances together but we did.” As a part of the accessibility goal for the dance some students found it to be an entirely new cultural experience. “It was great after doing many rounds of Garba,” said Payas Awadhutkar, graduate in electrical and computer engineering. “The enthusiasm and energy in the room was fantastic.”

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is a well-known center for funding research to end the disease. However, it has received scrutiny lately for paying its CEO a little less than half a million dollars annually. Columnist Lawson questions whether donations have been funding high salaries or research for the company.

Think before donating pink Foundations may use donations to supplement salaries By Angelica.Lawson @iowastatedaily.com

magine a world without breast cancer, a world where bad things don’t happen to good people. Breast cancer has made enemies, survivors and fallen fighters of too many people. October presents an overwhelming sense of urgency to donate to the organization that shares one common mission — to end breast cancer. But what does it mean when one non-profit CEO is making more than $400,000, and allegations are being made that only 20 percent of funds are actually going to research? Are we striving for a better tomorrow or looking to fatten our pockets off of the generosity of the public? The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1982 by Nancy G. Brinker. It holds several fundraising activities, and the the most successful campaign is Race for the Cure. The pink light that Susan G. Komen shines so brightly has been dimmed by scandal in the last few years. The reason is the amount of compensation that is given to its CEO. When your organization’s purpose is to end cancer, I’m not sure how you can justify compensating a CEO with a base salary of $475,000 and paying at least seven other em-

ployees $150,000 and another five $250,000. That doesn’t seem right to me. If your mission is to end breast cancer, I don’t think people in the service of humanity should be drawing in such large salaries. Being properly compensated for your time is vital for the success in any company. It appears that companies that gain the majority of their money from charitable donations and event sponsorships are doubledipping in these funds. I cannot dispute the amount of work and progress that the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation has contributed. These numbers raise a lot of concern for the people who donate their hard-earned money to a cause, expecting to help make a difference. An image circulating social media sites has helped fuel a fire under the organization by showing donors where their money is actually going. The contains two very unnerving facts. The first is that the CEO of Susan G. Komen makes $684,000. The second is that it gives just less than 20 percent of donations to cancer research. When I saw this, my heart sank. I was infuriated. I did some research and found out that these statements are true, according to Susan G. Komen’s annual fiscal report. Nancy G. Brinker, founder and CEO until 2014, made $684,000. Her base salary in 2012 was $548,785, and her $125,000 bonus gave her an annual salary of more than $700,000. The Susan G. Komen allocates 18 percent of its spending to cancer research. When I think back to all the people in my life who have, in one way or

another, been touched the Susan G. Komen brand, I wonder how much of what I’ve purchased from and donated to the foundation went to the cause or the CEO. The Susan G. Komen foundation received $308,433,590 in public contributions in 2013. Where did that money actually go? I have yet to find an actual breakdown in its fiscal year reports that explain exactly where the money went that year. Since Susan G. Komen is a publicly-funded organization, that information should be available to view. Susan G. Komen is not the only foundation that strives to end cancer. Many other organizations exist that are reputable and do not have as much controversy as Susan G. Komen. These companies have a shared mission to end cancer but do not have the same clouded financial reports. The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Sisters Network Inc., Dana-farber Cancer Institute, Breast Cancer Fund and Living Beyond Breast Cancer are a few great organizations that more people should become involved with and donate to. Knowing where your donations are going and trusting that organization to do the right thing should not have to be an uphill battle. Having donations go toward overhead and expenses is expected, but these organizations should not take advantage of people’s generosity. We donate because we want to stop watching our mothers, sisters, aunts and friends fight breast cancer. No one who donates should have to wonder if we are actually getting closer to reaching that goal.

Social Security needs update By Beth.Woodruff @iowastatedaily.com As a college student, I am barely capable of planning out my next week’s schedule, let alone planning out my future retirement. However, current predictions about the lack of future funding for social security have put me in a frenzy. Let’s start with what exactly Social Security benefits are because I know many people my age don’t know. Social Security is a federal program that pays cash benefits to multiple groups of people. These groups include people who are retired, disabled and families of deceased workers. The trust fund is broken down into two specific payout categories — the Old Age and Survivors Insurance Trust and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust. Money is paid to these two groups of people by taxing individuals who are currently working and their employers. So how exactly are we “running out” of Social Security funds? We are drawing out more money than we are putting into the pool, simply based on the high number of those needing Social Security and the low number of those currently working and contributing to the pool. While it is very unlikely Social Security will completely deplete its funds, as there will always be people working, the probability of its funds running dangerously low are almost inevitable at this point. The 2015 Annual Report of the Board of Trustees of the Old Age and Survivors Insurance and the Federal

Disability Insurance Trust funds was released July 22. The report explained the current status of both social security funds and their future outlooks, which are quite bleak. The Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund is expected to deplete its funds during the fourth quarter of 2016, according to the report. This would leave the trust fund only able to pay 81 percent of its scheduled benefits and would put the Disability Insurance Trust on its last legs, which could result in millions of disabled individuals scrambling to make up for lost income. The Old Age and Survivors Insurance Trust has a slightly brighter outlook. Enough funds exist to pass the short-range goals of 10 years. However, the The Old Age and Survivors Insurance Trust will fail in its longrange goals of funds lasting through the next 75 years. It is estimated that the trust funds will become depleted by 2035. The trust fund report offers some viable solutions to offset this funding problem. In order for the trust to remain solvent during the next 75 years, there would have to be a tax hike from 12.40 percent to 15.02 percent. There would also have to be a reduction in recipient benefits by 19.6 percent after 2015. While these options may seem frightening at first glance they are the life raft that will keep Social Security benefits afloat. Unfortunately, many American’s are choosing to turn a blind eye to the undeniable truth. Pew Research Center released results from a study in August of 2015, concerning the future of Social

Security. In the study, 50 percent of Generation X believed they would receive no Social Security benefits by the time they retire. But a staggering 67 percent of Gen Xers think there should be no reduction in benefits. While 37 percent of millennials believe a need for reductions exists, that number needs to grow along with the awareness of the problem. So what can we as millennials do to ensure we get a slice of the Social Security pie when so many people seem to be fighting against us? We can advocate for the age at which social security benefits kick in to be raised from 67. I realize this can throw some people into a tizzy, as we all want to retire early. Social Security was never meant to be a sole income for retirement — the average benefit in 2015 was $1,335 a month — and raising the age by a year should have little effect on retirees as long as they prepared for retirement by saving other assets. The ceiling on Social Security taxes should also rise. The highest taxable earnings during 2015 was an income of $118,500. Raising this limit will help fund the Social Security pool as well as prolong the life of Social Security benefits. The entire nation needs to come together and realize this problem can’t be fixed without change. It’s wrong to simply deny a problem exists and let entire generations’ benefits be depleted before they become middleaged citizens. In order for Social Security benefits to last for future generations, cuts need to be made and changes need to happen quickly.

Education is key to safe drinking on campuses The Iowa State Daily has been serving its community since August 1890. And most of those years, the organization was doing journalism the traditional way — telling stories through words, later with photos and videos. However, times have changed, and the Daily’s way of doing journalism has, too. Now, instead of keeping the community at arm’s length in an effort to remain objective, the Daily is flipping that conventional wisdom on its head. The Daily is going beyond words and photos and engaging the community in productive conversations on important issues. The first example of this is this week’s responsible drinking social media campaign in conjunction with National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week. The Daily, along with partner organizations, will be encouraging students to interact with us on social media and tell us why they drink responsibly. The Daily, along with Student Government and ISU PD, will also be sharing safe drinking tips with #IDTT or “I’ll Drink to That.” The hashtag is meant to be a casual way to connect with students all the while sharing tips and showing approval for making smart drinking choices. Engaging and educating students about responsible drinking is more important now than ever. Overwhelmingly, the choice among college students is to drink. According to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), 4 in 5 students do make the choice to drink. Often, the idea of drinking responsibly is an idea that many students have trouble accepting. It can be misinterpreted as being told to stop drinking. Frankly, asking college students to refrain from drinking is an unrealistic expectation. This is why the Daily is taking this particular approach during National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week. The NIAAA also reports that 1,825 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 will die each year as a result of an alcohol-related incidents. This number is far too high. In order to celebrate National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week as well as educate and interact with students, the Daily and partner organizations will top off the week with a root beer kegger from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday by the library or in the Memorial Union. Students can get free root beer, learn about safe drinking and tell us why they drink responsibly. College should be a fun and wellrounded experience, and The Daily understands students must make their own choice about whether to drink. But The Daily, along with its partners, want to be here to engage and educate students on important issues like safe drinking.

Lanning makes case for more snaps By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Backup quarterback Joel Lanning made a statement Saturday night. In the first quarter against No. 3 Texas Christian, Lanning entered the game at quarterback for just two plays. The first was a oneyard run up the middle. The second was a 74yard touchdown pass to Allen Lazard — the first of his career. “It was a good first touchdown pass,” Lanning said. “I’m glad Lazard caught it and made a play. It made me look good.” Lazard went up for the ball with a TCU defender all over him — so much so, the defender was called for pass interference, and Lazard still came down with it. He shook the defender and broke down the sidelines to the end zone. The touchdown came at an important time, too, tying the game at 14 with about six minutes left in the first quarter. “I liked [Lazard’s] leverage on the guy, and I just threw it up to him, and he made a play,” Lanning said. “It was kind of behind him — a back-shoulder catch —

and he just got his defender off of him and ran for 70 or whatever it was.” After the touchdown play, though, it was back to the sidelines for Lanning. Starting quarterback Sam Richardson came back and finished the game. When asked why Lanning only played two plays after the game, head coach Paul Rhoads had just a few words of explanation. “That will be a part of our Sunday analysis,” he said. But even though it was just two plays, Richardson said Lanning made a big impact in the game. He couldn’t be happier for his understudy. “It’s awesome, I’m so proud of him,” Richardson said. “He’s a great friend of mine, and it’s a huge step in his career. He’s going to have a great career here. Any kind of situation that he’s thrown into, he’s making plays, and he really made a big difference today.” Lanning, a redshirt sophomore from Ankeny, Iowa, has had limited game experience so far in his career. Last week against Texas Tech, though, Lanning played significantly.

Korrie Bysted/Iowa State Daily

Redshirt sophomore quarterback Joel Lanning is tackled by a TCU defensive player Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium. Lanning threw a 74-yard touchdown pass to Allen Lazard in the first quarter but didn’t see another offensive snap the rest of the game.

He went 5-for-9 for 41 yards and completed a 31yard pass to D’Vario Montgomery. And while the Cyclones fell to the Red Raiders 6631, Lanning said the game boosted his confidence. “Maybe it’s just be-

cause I’m getting a lot more reps in practice, or I’m starting to see things that I didn’t see before,” Lanning said. “I would just say that the game is starting to slow down. It was awesome to be out there, but I learned

some stuff.” As to whether Lan ning’s performance against TCU will earn him more playing time or not, only time will tell. But Lanning isn’t worried about it, yet. For now, he is just fo-

cused on contributing. “It’s not my call how many snaps I get, but it is what it is,” Lanning said. “I’m just in there for what I’m supposed to do. “I executed the play, so hopefully it was good enough for them.”

• His touchdown Saturday was a pass to the sidelines to wide receiver Allen Lazard, who drew a pass interference call from the defender while still bringing down the ball. Lazard then broke away from the defender and found his way 74 yards for the touchdown.

ISU volleyball nets victory in bold comeback By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com The scoreboard read 9-3 in TCU’s favor in the second set Saturday at Hilton Coliseum, but Caitlin Nolan wasn’t concerned. She’d been in this spot before. In the last four wins for Iowa State, the team has formed a comeback in at least one set in the match. This regular routine is making it easier for the Cyclones to battle back in any given situation and climb up in the Big 12 standings. “We always fight until it’s the end of the match,” said sophomore Monique Harris. “We won’t always be on top because the Big 12 conference is one of the toughest conferences in the country.” Iowa State went on a 7-1 run to tie up the set against TCU and later won the second set, 25-22. The Cyclones won the match in four sets. All four of Iowa State’s comebacks have come against Big 12 opponents. On Sept. 26, Iowa State

played Texas Tech at home and battled back in the second set. Texas Tech tore off an 8-0 run to make it a 20-15 Red Raider lead. Iowa State later came back to win the set, 28-26, and sweep in the Big 12 opener. Four days later on Sept. 30, Oklahoma went on a 7-0 run in the second set and made it a 20-16 lead against Iowa State. The Cyclones battled back to win the set, 25-23, and defeated Oklahoma in four sets. The last comeback came almost a week ago, when Iowa State took on Kansas State at home. In the first set, the Cyclones were up 19-14, and the Wildcats came back to make it 2120. Iowa State continued to fight and later won the set, 25-22, sweeping Kansas State in three sets. “I do like to see the team’s resilience and composure during these types of sets,” said ISU volleyball coach Christy JohnsonLynch. “When they’re down and they come back, it just boosts their confidence for more matches to come.” Iowa State had its

confidence boosted after defeating TCU as the Cyclones now find themselves in third place in the Big 12 behind Texas and Kansas. It’s a lower position than Iowa State wants, but it’s a step in the right direction. “The third place isn’t quite as important as where we are across the nation for the NCAA tournament,”

Johnson-Lynch said. “These types of match wins are huge for getting into the tournament and for seeding within the tournament.” Iowa State is looking at the matchup ahead against West Virginia on Oct. 21 in the context of the larger, NCAA tournament picture. Iowa State is always looking for an opportunity to win a Big 12 champion-

ship but also to earn entry into the NCAA tournament for a chance to win a national championship for Iowa State. “It feels really good, but obviously our goal is to win a Big 12 championship,” Nolan said. “I don’t think you can be satisfied with third, but I think it’s nice to know we’re in the top half right now.”

costs and allow students to only pay for the services students use. Rand Paul, U.S. senator from Kentucky Paul wants to stop the rising cost of tuition by addressing the “root cause.” He said less government involvement in subsidizing education will bring down the cost. Paul has also said he wants more accountability and innovation from universities that would make them more responsibly for keeping student debt rates at a low level. Marco Rubio, U.S. senator from Florida Rubio wants to make higher education less expensive, less time-consuming and more flexible for students. He proposed simplifying the federal financial aid application, and implementing an income-based

REPUBLICANS Jeb Bush, former governor from Florida Bush alternatively focuses on increasing degree completion rates and lowering the cost of tuition. He recognizes that many students are taking longer than four years to graduate. Ben Carson, retired neurosurgeon Carson believes young adults need to take personal responsibility of their future. He encourages working during college and taking time to save up money before attending. Carson said he is willing to explore ways to efficiently reduce the amount of student debt, but not at the expense of adding to the national debt. Chris Christie, governor from New Jersey Christie wants to expand alternative funding for college, including income-share agreements — requiring students to pay a percentage of their future income in exchange for private financing — and tax credits from community service. Ted Cruz, U.S. senator from Texas Cruz has not talked much about higher education but said he is in favor of abolishing the Department of Education and giving loan-handling responsibility to states.

Most Republicans say this shift will bring down the cost of college. Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlett-Packard During a visit to Iowa State in September, Fiorina said she believes government involvement in education has driven up the cost of college. She said the federal government should get out of the student loan industry, which will create competition and drive down costs on its own. Lindsey Graham, U.S. senator from South Carolina Graham believes loans are the way for students to survive college financially. In 2013, he voted against federal loans having limits on interest rates. As the first person to go to college in his family, Graham suggests student loan programs should be preserved. Mike Huckabee, former governor from Arkansas Huckabee takes an almost liberal view on higher education. He’s voted for bills that would allow students to refinance their loans at a lower rate. Huckabee has also expanded two state-funded scholarships and increased higher education budgets nine out of the 10 years he was in office. Bobby Jindal, governor from Louisiana Jindal has focused on K-12 education and elimi-

John Kasich, governor from Ohio Kasich said he believes students should be encouraged to take college classes during high school, so they can minimize the number of courses and their associated costs in college. He also implemented a “performance-based funding formula” to push colleges to make graduation more attainable. George Pataki, former governor from New York Pataki has proposed downsizing the Department of Education. Also among his proposals are eliminating the Common Core.

While campaigning in Iowa, he said Democrats who want to subsidize education more do not realize someone has to pay for it. Donald Trump, businessman As with other issues, Trump has been somewhat vague on his plans for education policy. At the K-12 level, he has said Common Core standards should be eliminated. Trump has advocated for cutting back the Department of Education while on the campaign trail.

DEMOCRATS Lincoln Chafee, former governor of Rhode Island, U.S. senator from Rhode Island Chafee has focused on tackling student loans during his presidential campaign speeches. He increased funding for higher education in Rhode Island by $10 million in an effort to stop increasing tuition and interest rates. He wants to make higher education more accessible. Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State, U.S. senator from New York, former first lady Clinton proposed eliminating student debt and increasing state and federal funding for students at public colleges. Students who commit to working at least 10 hours per week while enrolled in college are able to avoid taking out tuition loans, under her plan. Martin O’Malley, former governor of Maryland O’Malley proposes refinancing all current student loans at lower rates and making an income-based repayment plan for all minimum payments. O’Malley would reduce the cost of tuition to 10 percent while increasing Pell grants and work-study opportunities. Jim Webb, former U.S. senator from Virginia Webb proposed addressing the student debt issue through a system of replacing monetary debt with public service hours.
