David Jiles, distinguished professor and chairman of electrical and computer engineering, has been elected to the Royal Academy of Engineering for his work with feromagnetic hysteresis. Hysteresis is the study of a system’s outputs based on current and past inputs.

‘A work in progress’ Professor elected to Royal Academy based on research By Emily.Samuelson @iowastatedaily.com David Jiles’ career has been a work in progress since he first discovered his love for physics as a 14-year-old in London. That love led to him being elected to the Royal Academy of Engineering this year. “[It’s] still a work in progress,” said Jiles, distinguished professor and chairman in electrical and computer engineering, in regard to his prestigious research. Jiles earned his Ph.D. from The University of Hull in Yorkshire, UK, in 1979. After working in New Zealand and Canada, Jiles brought his family to Ames in 1984 when offered a position at Iowa State. “[The position] basically de-

scribed everything I was doing at the time,” said Jiles. “I thought to myself, ‘Wow, that’s me!’” He transitioned to Iowa State, and published his first major research paper in 1986. His research attracted a lot of attention, but was not widely accepted. Jiles said he believes that this first piece of research was the most influential work he has done because it led him to his current research, which has received prestigious recognition. Jiles has a passion for his work. Since being encouraged by a friend to begin the Royal Academy of Engineering’s election process two years ago, he has worked diligently to verify his work. By the end of 2013, the meticulous verification process was completed. After months of silence on the subject, he received an envelope from the Royal Academy. As he sat with the envelope in his hands he recalled feeling unsure whether or not to open it.

“[If] I opened it, it had to go one way in the other,” said Jiles, “So in a way, I didn’t want to open it.” After mustering up the courage to open the letter, Jiles could proudly announce that he was elected to The Royal Academy of Engineering for his work with Ferromagnetic Hysteresis. Hysteresis is the study of a system’s outputs based on current and past inputs. Jiles’ study of Ferromagnetic Hysteresis explores parameters defining hysteresis in the theory of hysteresis. Parameters can be obtained from a collection of experimental magnetization measurements. To accept this award, Jiles and his wife will travel to the United Kingdom in November for his induction and an awards dinner. Jiles said the award is a testament his work, and inspires him to further his research and continue to work with others. Jiles, the Palmer Endowed De-

Students react to deaths of two ISU students By Makayla.Tendall and Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com It opens people’s eyes. Trae Harris, junior in journalism, reacted to the deaths of two Iowa State students like many others: with disbelief and distress. Two ISU students have been pronounced dead within a week, causing many students to grieve, whether they knew the deceased or not. Tong Shao, junior in chemical engineering, was pronounced dead after her body was found in the trunk of a car in Iowa City following a two week investigation after she was reported missing by friends. Another ISU student was pronounced dead when ISU Police were called to a University Village apartment around 6 p.m. Tuesday, after a roommate found the student unresponsive in the locked apartment. Jerry Stewart, director of the Department of Public Safety, said that while the student was deceased before police and medical personnel arrived, foul play is not suspected. Stewart said the DPS will not release the student’s name until the family is notified. While many students had not even heard of the second student death, they said Shao’s death is enough to send the ISU community reeling. “I just heard about the [University Village resident’s] death from [the Daily],” Har-

ris said. “I thought the death of Tong Shao was really crazy. That’s national news. It just shows that no matter where you are, even in Iowa, it’s not as safe [as you think].” He said news such as this should make students more aware of their surroundings. “It opens people’s eyes,” Harris said. “It makes people more aware of what’s really going on around campus and how short life can be.” The Chinese Students and Scholars Association has planned a memorial for Shao at 7 p.m. Friday on Central Campus. “Anybody who knew her, those people are not going to be able to think straight right now,” Miranda Redalen, freshman in open option, said about other international students who may be devastated by Shao’s death. “It’s going to affect their classwork and homework and exams that are going on right now.” Not only are students viewing Shao’s death as a tragedy, but they are also dealing with the unexpected death of another ISU student, a situation where the student’s roommate found the deceased. At Wednesday’s Government of Student Body meeting, senators had a moment of silence for both Shao and the recently deceased University Village student. “I just really want to encourage you to take care of your fellow students and take time to ask them how they’re doing,” GSB President Hillary Kletscher

told senators. It’s difficult, Rigo Perez, sophomore in English, said about coping with the death of a student. “There’s a certain atmosphere [to campus],” Perez said. Perez lived in Wilson Hall last year, where a student committed suicide in the basement. “Everyone was really scared to go down there,” he said. And he still lives in that residence hall. “I remember every time I go down there,” Perez said. All students who may need help with the grieving process are encouraged to visit Student Counseling Services. Services are free and completely confidential. Students walk in to schedule an appointment from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Crisis appointments are available as need, said Tiffany Iskander, staff psychologist for Student Counseling Services. There are counselors who speak Chinese at Student Counseling Services for Chinese students who wish to talk through their grief, Iskander said. “When trauma or really sad and horrible things happen like the types of things that have happened, it’s really important to get support,” Iskander said. Talking about issues out loud to a psychologist can help people process through thoughts, she said. “It really helps them cope with their emotions, get some support, [learn] coping techniques and just know they’re

not alone,” Iskander said. Though some students may be hesitant or feel ashamed to seek services, Iskander said it’s important to take the step and recognize that those concerns are understandable but unnecessary. “I think that it does take a lot of courage to come to counseling,” Iskander said. “But I feel like the staff here does a really good job of normalizing that.” She said the center sees a lot of students and that the hesitance to talk to a counselor is not uncommon, “especially when something like this happens.” “I imagine that it can be hard for people, but nothing’s wrong with them and it’s actually quite brave to come in and seek help,” Iskander said. Having friends who are understanding and attending professional counseling create the ideal support system, Iskander said. “If you just know that this is affecting you and you think in any way it would be helpful to talk to someone, these people are really well trained to help through crisis situations,” Iskander said of the Staff and Student Counseling Services. Redalen said the tragedies have taught her a lesson beyond simply helping other ISU students and international students cope with grief. “A lot of people are going to realize that you don’t know when you’re going to die,” Redalen said. “Don’t live life like you’re going to live forever.”

GSB talks plan to increase financial literacy By Oscar.Alvarez @iowastatedaily.com Wednesday night’s Government of the Student Body meeting brought up discussions revolving around helping students with financial literacy, funding the Cultural Ambassadors Program and seating senators to a committee. Hillary Kletscher, president of the GSB, proposed working with the Office of Financial Aid to create the Student Loan Application Office. This office would help students by addressing whatever financial services are deemed needed by the student body, Kletscher said. “We [GSB and Office of Financial Aid] came to an agreement that we aren’t sure what extra services are necessarily needed by the student body, and taking services from the previous financial offices and just moving them over to a new office doesn’t necessarily mean we are meeting the needs of students,” Kletscher said. GSB plans to set up the new Student Loan Application Office by sending out a survey to the student body to ask them about what services they would like to see, what their needs truly are as well as host some focus groups with students. GSB did the first read of a bill to provide the Cultural Ambassadors Program with funding. If passed, this bill will fund the Cultural Ambassadors Program $2,540. The funding is broken down so that $2,320 goes to hourly student wages of $7.25 an hour for 320 hours a school year. Approximately 10 hours a week for 32 weeks, $170 will go to cultural training, group pairing orientation, whole group event, final banquet material boards, name tags, markers, certificates and activity material. The final $50 goes to promotional material which would be split $25 per semester. The second reading of the bill will take place at next week’s meeting. In other business, a senator was elected to represent the College of Human Sciences. Other senators were elected to the Diversity Committee, and the University Affairs Committee was elected a new chair. Also on the agenda was funding transportation for the Big 12 Conference. The conference, which will take place Nov. 13 through 16, will bring members from the student governments from all Big 12 schools to Iowa State. The bill is for a total of $2,064 that would be allocated from the Reserve Account. The money would go toward CyRide at a rate of $86 per hour for 24 hours a day. At next week’s meeting, GSB will meet with the Ames City Council to discuss issues that face both ISU and the Ames community. The purpose of the meeting is to create a better relationship between the two governing bodies.

Riefs said a liquidation sale is scheduled to begin Sunday, Sept. 28. Riefs also said the Ames Kmart had 44 employees, many of whom are part-time or hourly workers. “Those associates that are eligible will receive severance and have the opportunity to ap-

Students lasso win in Ag Olympics By Abby.Wadeson @iowastatedaily.com Nothing could stand between the “Pink Flamingos” and victory as they were held captive in their pen, waiting for the go signal. Cheers from the crowd erupted as the Ag Olympics began. Students from the College of Agriculture and Life Science gathered at the Hansen Agricultural Student Learning Center to compete in the Ag Olympics Wednesday night as part of CALS Week. The Ag Olympics were set up in a bracket style and consisted of teams made up of four people each. There were two sections of the Ag Olympics: agriculture clubs vs. open option — where students were able to form a team with members of a club they’re in or with people not involved in a club. Team captains flipped a coin to decide who got to pick the side of the arena from which they wanted to start. The participants started in an animal pen and waited for the signal that they could begin. “3-2-1-GO!” The students lifted the latch to get out of the pens. They carefully tossed eggs at each other. Each team member had to then carry two hay bales across the arena. Next, the teams had to push each other in wheelbarrows around a course. Then, the teams had to work together to fish washers and nuts out of a bucket. They had to find the washers and nuts that fit on a bolt they were given.

All four team members had to putt a golf ball. Once they were done they all worked together to dig a hole, which was supposed to mimic planting a tree. Finally, each team member had to attempt to lasso a fake cow. To end their race, the teams ran back to the pens and latched themselves in. The “Pink Flamingos” participated second in the open option section. The team consisted of three juniors and one senior from the animal science and agriculture business majors. The team didn’t train or run the course before Thursday night, but they all grew up on a farm and were familiar with the activities they had to do. Nate McConnell, a junior in agriculture business, said the team didn’t know about a prize. “[We did it for] the pride of winning,” he said. The Ag Olympics are

a part of the annual weeklong CALS Week, which is organized by the CALS Council. The CALS Council is made up of students representing all the different clubs and organizations within the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. The purpose of the CALS Council is to coordinate information between clubs. “They’ve done [Ag Olympics] before, it’s just kind of hard to try to get people in it together,” said Cody Sacquitne, a senior in dairy science and CALS week co-chair. “We try to hold events that try to get everyone in the college involved.” In order to increase participation, they’re giving away a club award. Earlier in the week there was a Mr. CALS competition and quiz bowl. There’s a point system, and at the end of the week the winning team received a trophy.

CyServe Week approaches, volunteer registration opens By Caitlin.Deaver @iowastatedaily.com ISU students will be able to volunteer around campus and in the Ames community during Iowa State’s annual CyServe Week. The Greeks Give Back group paired with CyServe Council for a mass philanthropy event this year in the hopes of giving students an opportunity to give back to their communities. CyServe week is Oct. 20 through 25. “CyServe Week is an opportunity for the Ames community and the ISU students to work together for the betterment of our community,” said Mike Stewart, co-president of CyServe Council and senior in biology. CyServe Council is hoping to fill 1,500 volunteer spots in various community organizations throughout Story County and the Des Moines area. Project assignments are on a first-come firstserve basis, and students are encouraged to sign up

for four or more time slots during which they’d be available to volunteer. Each time slot is one hour long. On Oct. 20, students can pair with Food at First and St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital for their Up ‘til Dawn event. Volunteers will help fundraise for the event, as well as help run its email social event. Sign ups are from 4-6 p.m. The second day of CyServe Week is dedicated to beginning the week-long food drive. Volunteers will walk throughout Ames with members of The SHOP to place bags on doorsteps and collect food donations. Time slots are available from 5-7 p.m. each day for the rest of CyServe Week. Stewart said volunteers will pick up all the donations on Oct. 25. “In previous CyServe Weeks, we did [door to door donations] and it’s been a lot of fun,” he said. On Oct. 22, sustainability-oriented student organizations are celebrating National Campus Sustainability Day. Volunteers will be able to help set up

for the event from 9-10 a.m. or tear down between 2-3 p.m. On Oct. 24, volunteers can help with the Up ‘til Dawn tie-dye event from 12-3 p.m. The last day of CyServe Week has multiple volunteer opportunities that last the entire day, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Those opportunities include, but are not limited to working with Keep ISU Beautiful, Food at First, Youth and Shelter Services, the Iowa Arboretum, the Mustard Seed Farm and Goodwill, as well as helping Ames residents prepare for winter with Winter Weatherization. Other opportunities,

like building LEGO kits for First LEGO League, cleaning up Lake LaVerne, ISU buildings and Campustown, and pairing with Dance Marathon and Project Linus, are only available at specific times throughout the day. Though students can volunteer without going through CyServe Council, the student organization holds the event each year to make volunteering easier. According to its website, CyServe Council was created “to help students and non-profit organizations network with each other, making it easier for students to volunteer and area organizations to accomplish their goals.”

David Jiles, distinguished professor and chairman of electrical and computer engineering, has been elected to the Royal Academy of Engineering for his work with feromagnetic hysteresis. The Royal Academy elects 50 members annually, but Jiles will be the first elected fellow from Iowa State.

JILES p1 partment Chair in Computer and Electrical Engineering, is not shy when attributing a large part of his success to Iowa State and those who work with him. “In the end,” said Jiles, “it comes down to the people.” According to Jiles, keeping his program wellfunded while using time effectively, managing students and steadily releasing research is no simple task. His response to the challenges he faces: “If you don’t love it, you shouldn’t do it.” The award means his peers have accepted his work and has brought recognition to Iowa State, Jiles said. “Iowa State doesn’t realize how great it is,” he said. “Iowa State is a wonderful place. We don’t realize how well-known we are.” Jiles has strong advice for the students at Iowa State. “You have to decide what you want. And then you have to pursue it with all your energy,” Jiles said.

His advice inspires freshman agricultural engineering student, Michael Tupper, to dedicate himself to his field of study. Tupper has high expectations of his professors. “[I expect professors to] prepare students for realworld engineering issues,” said Tupper, “and to give us the tools to overcome these issues.” Jiles’ work is motivating students, like Michael Tupper, to take advantage of the opportunities Iowa State has to offer, and to become competitive in the local and global market. “When you come to Iowa State you know you are competing,” Tupper said. “The grade of professors at Iowa State is what makes the university strong. It brings research dollars to the programs and bright minds to campus.” Tupper said Jiles’ election to The Royal Academy proves how well-equipped Iowa State is to prepare students for the future. Jiles’ accomplishment sets the bar of excellence high for the students of Iowa State. Associate Dean of Re-

search Arun Somani, said Jiles is a “born scientist” with great capacity and leadership. Jiles’ is noted as an “amazing, hardworking person with great focus” by Somani. His focus and work ethic does not affect the level of communication and mentoring that he shares with the students of Iowa State, Somani said. “[He] radiates energy and is easy to communicate with,” Somani said. “He has an ability to motivate all and truly loves Iowa State University.” Somani said Jiles’ election to The Royal Academy of Engineering provides recognition for the university and the people who work there. “It does two things,” he said, “it motivates others to aspire to Jiles’ level of success and it puts Iowa State on the map.” David Jiles may be known globally as a renowned scientist and author, but to the students and faculty of Iowa State, he is known as a motivator, leader and member of the ISU family.

The religious divide

Religious discrimintation in NFL could strain players’ beliefs

By Stephen.Snyder @iowastatedaily.com On Monday night, Kansas City Chiefs’ safety Husain Abdullah returned an interception for a touchdown, the second of his career, and followed through on a promise he had made to himself as a football player and devout Muslim. That promise was to prostrate himself before Allah in the end zone. For that demonstration of his faith, he received a fifteen yard penalty. The NFL has since issued a statement saying that the penalty should not have been given. The NFL prohibits celebrations that involve the player on the ground, but according to NFL spokesman Michael Signora, the rule does not apply to a player that “goes to the ground as part of religious expression.” The penalty, while it is definitely a minuscule example, is indicative of the general lack of understanding of non-Christian religions, specifically the Muslim faith. Many individuals voiced their frustration with the penalty flag on social media, many of them saying that “Tim Tebow never would have gotten that flag”, citing the former

NFL quarterback’s trademark celebration of going to one knee and lowering his head as a means of praising God. The fact is, those dissenters are correct. The Christian method would have been — and is frequently — understood by officials and allowed. That being said, the bone which I am trying to pick is not with the NFL — they have enough going on already. Instead, I take issue with American society in general. The United States is an overwhelmingly Christian nation. However, that does not mean that the religion should get more or less protection and understanding from Americans than any other global and well established faith. When watching Fox News, everyone’s favorite right-wing, Caucasian perspective news channel, I have noticed a supposed injustice being committed against Christians in the United States. That injustice is the ever proliferating “War on Christmas.” The complaint is that American society is conforming to politically correct ideas simply because it makes people uncomfortable or perhaps projects one religion to be more important than others, which is of course not constitutionally permitted. First, Christians in the United States should realize that they live in one of the most welcoming nations in the world

for their religion. Compare the struggles of Christians in America to Christians in Iraq. In that comparison, I am referring to the forcible removal of Christian Iraqis from their homes in Mosul, Iraq by ISIS under threat of execution. I would like to see a little more Christian outrage regarding the tangible persecution of their religion across the world and less complaining about the removal of a giant pine tree from their local malls. While conservative Christians occupy their time taking offense to the removal of nativity scenes from local spaces — both of which they can put up on their own property — the principle they seem to follow is “just because someone doesn’t like it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be allowed.” And I agree with them wholeheartedly. The problem only occurs when that principle becomes exclusively applicable to popular Christian ideals. When the construction of the Cordoba House, a Muslim community center, was proposed near — two blocks away, not visible from — Ground Zero in New York City, public criticism shut the project down before it even began. Therefore, before Christians bemoan the growing cultural sensitivity against their religious ideals, they should take the time to assess the ways they react in similar situations. There are obvious differ-

ences in scale between those two comparisons and the arguments against a Cordoba House near Ground Zero surely have merit to those making them and I too sympathize with their sentiments. However, the rejection of the Cordoba House is directly related to the “Islamophobia“ that a large portion of our nation suffers from. This topic will surely be an uncomfortable one for many readers, but that does not mean that it should not be said. On Sept. 11, 2001, 19 Muslim men, directed by Muslim terrorist organizations, hijacked American flights and used them to commit a horrific act, taking nearly 3,000 innocent lives. I hold that statement as fact. I do not, however, associate the acts taken by those men to be indicative of the Muslim community. The same can and must be said of ISIL or Al Qaeda. Every religion has its particularly radical offshoots which it would prefer to ignore. Would we want non-Americans or non-Christians to look at the Westboro Baptist Church and take those examples to represent the whole of the Christian world? The Golden Rule, which transcends religion, but it a tenant of many faiths, asks that we treat the people around us as we would like to be treated ourselves. I think treating one another equally and without prejudice would be a great place to start.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

As a student at Iowa State University, I am expecting to be welcomed and included. However, three incidents since the beginning of this semester have caused me to question my expectations. Before the semester started, the former GSB Election Commissioner wrote a letter to the editor subtly suggesting that conservatives and people who disagree with his radical views are not welcome at Iowa State

University. Just today, I was giving my opinion about student activity money and I was told by one of the GSB senators that if I did not like where mandatory student activity fee money was going or how it was being spent, that “I can go to some right-wing college like Hillsdale.” Various other GSB leaders have openly expressed their hostility towards conservative students. However, if I were part of a protected group, I could file a discrimination or bias complaint. Further proof that conservative viewpoints are not

On Sept. 18, a New York Times reporter wrote a review called “Wrought in Rhimes’s Image,” a review on Shonda Rhimes’ characters in many of her TV shows. In the review, the author pushes the racial limits in some of the ways she illustrates Rhimes, her characters and African-American women. In the beginning of the review, the author begins by saying “Shonda Rhimes’s autobiography should be called ‘How to Get Away With Being an Angry Black Woman.’” The author goes on to explain how Rhimes’s characters break the traditional African-American female role as “the sidekick” or “the housewife” on modern TV shows. Other problems facing the review included the definition of what is beautiful. The author says “chose a performer who is older, darkerskinned and less classically beautiful than [a previous, younger character Rhimes created].” The problem that arose was many people read that paragraph as what defined beautiful was lighter-skinned, young women. While the review is no longer timely and the Times has defused the situation, for the most part, a deeper discussion of diversity has surfaced in newsrooms across the country, as well as the Iowa State Daily. The Times did a number of responses to the community, explaining the author’s views, how she was not a racist and how the overall topic of the review was to champion Rhimes on her transformation of the female, African-American role on television. In one of the replies, the Times brought to light the fact that of the 20 cultural critics, it only has two persons of color, neither of which are African-American. The Daily’s editorial board found this statistic to be shocking, but made us reevaluate our diversity not only at the opinion section, but the organization as a whole. While the Daily does employ many ethnicities and backgrounds, we are actively searching for more diversity within our newsroom. The fact the Times only has two persons of color among 20 cultural critics does not allow them to accurately report and review for their audience. The Daily’s mission is to report complete, fair and accurate news for ISU students, Ames residents and anyone else who reads our product. If you are Latino/Latina, African-American, Caucasian, Asian or any race, we’d love to have you working for the Iowa State Daily. Unfortunately, the diversity problem in organizations is always addressed after the fact. Here at the Daily, we’re being proactive about the situation and reaching out to you, the readers. You can apply online or pick up an application at 108 Hamilton Hall. If you ever have a response to a diversity issue, please write us at letters@ iowastatedaily.com It’s time we have an active conversation to embrace diversity not only at the Daily and the Times and every news organization in the country, but as well as businesses and the governments in every state.

GSB discrimination fosters bad reputation on campus By Robert Dunn, senior in accounting

Groups need to actively embrace diversity

protected on this campus is that the Dean of Students Office has the term “social justice” included in its values statement. For those who are unfamiliar with the term, “social justice” was developed as a nicer way of saying socialism or communism. I feel that it is inappropriate for an administration department charged with presiding over student discipline having a Far-Left slogan in their value statement. When I see it as an outspoken and proud conservative, it sends the message that I need to shut up and keep my views

to myself for fear of severe consequences or reprisals if I did voice them. This letter is saying enough! I pay tuition and fees here and I am a taxpayer. I don’t appreciate student leaders and administrators sending either direct or subtle messages that I am not welcome at Iowa State. I am staying in defiance. This is a great university despite the Leftist hostility and intolerance. I just wish our GSB leaders and adminstrators would do more to foster an inclusive environment for views that are not politically correct or popular.

Media day highlights health of players By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State men’s basketball held media day Wednesday, Oct. 1 with story lines ranging from Georges Niang’s offseason body transformation to the team’s playing style. More depth than ever Coming off the heels of one of the best seasons in school history, ISU coach Fred Hoiberg said the team talks of Big 12 and national championships every single day. But without Melvin Ejim and Deandre Kane, the team loses two vocal and physical leaders that led the team to its Sweet Sixteen run last season. The Cyclones bring back seven players with game experience and expect freshmen Clayton Custer and Georgios Tsalmpouris to contribute when it comes to points this season. Transfer Bryce Dejean-Jones is expected to step into a leadership role. Transfers Jameel McKay and Abdel Nader will

also be key parts of the team as the season progresses. With 12 players fully capable of seeing playing time, Hoiberg said there are a lot of options out on the court. “We’re excited to have that depth,” Hoiberg said. “It’s probably going to cut some minutes down which I think will allow us to play a little faster than we did a year ago.” For a team that ran one of the quickest offenses in the nation last year, it’s hard to imagine it getting faster. Running with only about eight players last season, the Cyclones have more options than ever for the 2014-15 season. The team will likely look different at the end of the season than it does now. Hoiberg confirmed that sophomore Matt Thomas and redshirt junior Abdel Nader will sit out the exhibition game and first two regular-season games after being arrested for DUIs last spring. Much anticipated transfer Jameel McKay will also sit out until December 20 as he waits to become

eligible. Players like Tsalmpouris and Custer will likely see more playing time to start the season and showcase their talents for the first time in a Cyclone uniform. Niang, Hogue and Tsalmpouris get in shape Georges Niang’s offseason body transformation made headlines, and for a good reason. The forward looks like a different person and after losing what Hoiberg called “baby fat” and adding muscle, Niang is 15 pounds lighter than his weight when he walked onto campus and is listed as 6-foot 8-inches tall — an inch taller than last season. While he likely didn’t grow an inch over the offseason, his transformation is sure to make him a more athletic player out on the court. “That is a prime example right there of putting the work in and not just talkingthe-talk,” said teammate and roommate, Naz Long. “Georges has changed his body— he has abs now. It’s crazy to see but it’s real.”

But Niang wasn’t the only player making changes to his body in the offseason. Dustin Hogue and 7-foot 1-inch freshman Georgios Tsalmpouris each had a bit of a transition themselves. Hoiberg said Tsalmpouris, originally from Greece, is adapting to American food and putting on weight. “He’s already put on almost 20 pounds since he’s been on campus,” Hoiberg said. “I asked him what he had for dinner last night and he had three bacon cheeseburgers.” Hoiberg expects Tsalmpouris to play some significant minutes, saying he can shoot from the 3-point line as well as down low. Hoiberg was most impressed with Dustin Hogue’s offseason as he put on five pounds of muscle. “I would put Dustin’s offseason maybe at the top of anybody [on the team],” Hoiberg said. “He came in last year probably not in the best shape, and I think he would be the first one to tell you that.”

ISU basketball welcomes five new players By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com The ISU basketball team is returning three starters, but the fresh faces on the roster will have a lot to say about the team repeating last year’s success. Bryce Dejean-Jones Jones, a senior guard, transferred to Iowa State from University of Nevada, Las Vegas, choosing to play his final collegiate season as a Cyclone. Dejean-Jones led the Rebels in scoring last year, averaging 13.6 points per game, and will be asked to shoulder a good deal of the scoring load left by the departed DeAndre Kane. While ISU coach Fred Hoiberg said no lineup decisions have been made as of yet, Dejean-Jones is a good bet to start at guard for the

Cooke

Cyclones when the season begins. Jameel McKay Long, tall and athletic, McKay is something Hoiberg said he has never had during his tenure at Iowa State-a true rim protector and a versatile big man on both ends of the court. After being forced to sit out the 2013-14 season due to NCAA transfer regulations, McKay will be on the bench for eight more games before he makes his ISU debut.

Custer

He returns to the court on Dec. 20 against the Drake Bulldogs for his first game as a Cyclone. When McKay is finally allowed off of the bench, the 6-foot 9-inch forward will bring athleticism and shotblocking to an ISU interior that needs a dynamic defensive force around the basket. Clayton Custer One of the few true freshmen on the team, Custer is primarily a ballhandler and a threat from the three-point arc, making

Tsalmpouris

him a natural fit in Hoiberg’s high-scoring offense, which attempted over 23 threepoint field goals per contest last season. At his high school in Overland Park, Kansas, the freshman guard averaged 19 points per game and has the potential to be a real offensive threat off of the bench. “I’ll be another guy that comes in, takes care of the ball and knocks down shots,” Custer said. Georgios Tsalmpouris Like McKay, the 7’1”

Tsalmpouris is a shot-blocker and a shot-changer in the paint, but he also brings European flavor to the ISU offense. Typical of post players who grow up playing the European style of basketball, Tsalmpouris is equipped with exceptional passing skills and the ability to make jump shots from long-range. Tsalmpouris averaged a triple-double during his final year on his under-17 team in Greece, posting 27 points, 17 rebounds and 10 blocks per contest. While he does not expect to produce at quite the same level in major college basketball, he said much of what he does will translate. “I’m trying to get stronger to survive,” Tsalmpouris said. “The game is faster so I have to get used to it. Everyone is athletic but I’m 7-feet with big hands. I think I’ll get a few blocks.”

Hallice Cooke Another transfer, Cooke’s road to Iowa State started in New Jersey and cut through Corvallis, Oregon- home of the Oregon State Beavers - before finally ending in Ames. Cooke will be forced by NCAA transfer regulations to sit out for the 2014-15 season, but will be a valuable addition to next year’s roster. Cooke averaged over eight points per game during his freshman campaign at Oregon State and is known most for his streaky shooting from three-point range. “Seeing the way [Iowa State] shared the ball, the way that [Hoiberg] coached them and the way they played hard for coach [drew my interest],” Cooke said. “Little things like that just made me feel like I wanted to be a part of something like this.”

Sophomore runner aims for top-seven roster spot By Kyle.Heim @iowastatedaily.com

Under a new coach and new expectations, redshirt sophomore Taylor McDowell endured a 2013 cross-country season packed with adjustments. After a full year of working with second-year ISU coach Andrea GroveMcDonough, McDowell says she is more relaxed now and understands her

coach’s expectations and techniques. During her 2013 campaign, McDowell was limited throughout the course of the cross-country season because of allergies and asthma. “Last season, [McDowell] was having a lot of trouble with her breathing,” Grove-McDonough said. “She was really struggling in the fall. I wasn’t really sure what she was capable of, and if her training was an indication of her breath-

ing problems or just how talented she was.” After discovering a training plan that worked well for her, McDowell began to improve and show what she’s truly capable of producing on the crosscountry course. “She’s handling things really well this year,” Grove-McDonough said. “She’s way ahead of where she was at this time last year.” In two events this season, McDowell placed third

overall at the Bulldog 4K Classic on Aug. 29 and 80th overall at the Roy Griak Invitational on Saturday. McDowell credits her recent success to the hard work she put in during training this past summer. “I increased my mileage a little this summer and did a lot of my runs with [ISU volunteer assistant coach] Sam Bluske,” McDowell said. “I think that helped a lot. I was able to stay healthy throughout this summer and into the fall.” Bluske, a fifth-year senior on last year’s crosscountry team, placed 16th for the Cyclones in the Big 12 Championships and was the team’s fourth runner to cross the finish line at the 2013 NCAA Championships. Next on the schedule for McDowell and the ISU cross-country team is the

Wisconsin Adidas Invitational in Madison, Wisconsin on Oct. 17. McDowell is from Hartland, Wisconsin and competed in front of family and friends at last year’s invitational. “It’s exciting because a lot of my friends from high school live in Madison now,” McDowell said. “There’s a little more pressure [competing where you’re from] because you kind of feel like you have to prove something.” Grove-McDonough said she has yet to decide if McDowell will be one of the starting seven runners to race for the team at Wisconsin this year. McDowell is competing for the seventh spot with redshirt junior Colleen Riley. McDowell said patience is key for her to have a chance at earning that final roster spot.

“In the past few workouts I’ve tried to bridge the gap too quickly because Perez [Rotich] and Erin [Hooker] are a little further ahead of me right now,” McDowell said. “I’ve started out the workouts too fast, and then I’ve not been able to finish them at the quality I want to.” While McDowell has made vast improvements since last year, Grove-McDonough said she needs McDowell to take an even bigger step forward next season. “We’re going to need someone like Taylor to make a huge jump next year and be able to not just score as a four or five [runner] for us, but score a good four or five,” Grove-McDonough said. “We need someone who can be inside the top-40 at races with a depth like the Griak [Invitational].”

Twenty one pilots to perform ‘Quiet is Violent’ tour to come to Iowa State By Parker.Reed @iowastatedaily.com In the past two years, twenty one pilots has released its first record as part of a major label, “Vessel”, toured the nation with alternative powerhouses, Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco and have performed on a number of music award ceremonies, late night talk shows and music festivals. The two-piece alterna-

tive pop-rock group with heavy hip-hop influences, as seen in Tyler Joseph’s melodic rap sections along with Josh Dun’s hypnotic drum beats, are commonplace in the duo’s library of songs. “I’m lucky to have found a bandmate, but not only that, a best friend too,” Dun said. “The first time Tyler and I met we were on the same page about everything and respected each other from a musical standpoint and sort of a life standpoint as well.” The dup quickly gained a large following in its hometown of Columbus, Ohio when word got out of its energetic live shows and constant touring.

“Our goal from the beginning has been [to] come away from a show, having people remember it or talk about it and tell their friends or tell their families to come and check it out,” Dun said. Twenty one pilots was originally booked to play the 2014 Veishea festival but ultimately had scheduling conflicts with the MTV Music Awards. Because of this conflict they had to cancel its show. While Veishea was permanently cancelled, the duo still had a desire to come back and perform at Iowa State University. “They worked well with us to get a date and figured everything out for us,” Cory

Brietzke said. Brietzke is the national events director for Student Union Board. Twenty one pilots eventually decided on its October 5 date to visit ISU. Ticket sales began on May 2, 2014 and officially sold out on Monday, September 29. On September 4, twenty one pilots began the “Quiet is Violent” world tour, which will wrap up on November 21 in Mexico City, Mexico. Twenty one pilots will perform Sunday, October 5 at the Great Hall in the Memorial Union. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and doors open at 6:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.sub. iastate.edu.

ISU Theatre presents David Nail kicks off ‘I’m a Fire’ tour at Iowa State ‘Spring Awakening’ By Haley.Brasé @iowastatedaily.com

By Emily.Benda @iowastatedaily.com

“Spring Awakening,” a play about a controversial topic of communication between mother and daughter, will be performed Oct. 3 to 5 and 10 to 12. Wendla Bergmann is the 14-year-old daughter of Frau Bergmann. Wendla, played by Emmy Cuvelier, was informed she was pregnant from her own mother. Frau Bergmann, played by Kim Paul, is a modest, caring mother to Wendla. Frau did not inform Wendla about conceiving a child, so she did not know it was possible for her to become pregnant. Georg Litschnitz, played by Taylor Sklenar, is Wendla’s age and goes to school with her. “It’s turn-of-the-century Germany, which was sexually repressed at the time,” Sklenar said. “Passing on the information from parent to child was hushed up — very hush, hush. “It’s the result of what can come out of such a repressive time and culture. It’s about kids learning to open up and coming into bloom, and what they learned or aren’t able to learn because of their environment.” The play represents how important communication is, and Stacy Hansen, guest director, agreed with that concept. “Adolescence should be a time of complete curiosity and playing and growing, all in a permissive environment. Unfortunately, society — teachers, politicians, parents — don’t always embrace that idea,” Hansen said. “If we don’t, the circumstances,

On Oct. 2, David Nail will perform at the Hansen Agricultural Student Learning Center. The concert is part of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences week celebration. The CALS committee has been working with Student Union Board since last spring to put on this event. “CALS came to us and asked for a possible concert to put on during CALS week,” said Cory Brietzke, national events director for SUB. David Nail began his recording career with his debut album in 2002 and has since released three commercial albums. Nail continues to produce music and tour around the United States and Canada as his popularity grows. His performance at Iowa State will be at the beginning of his “I’m A Fire” tour. One of the openers of the show is Maria Doud, junior at Iowa State. Doud will also be accompanied by her brother, Jackson, a freshman at Iowa State, on guitar. “My music comes from a personal experience for me, so I hope people can relate to it,” said Doud. Doud is excited for the opportunity to perform alongside country artists she admires. She has listened to David Nail for years and recommends songs, “I Thought You Knew” and “The Sound of A Million Dreams.” Country singer, Brooke Eden, is also an opening performance and is known for her single, “American Dreamin.’” SUB hopes for a great

the consequences, can be absolutely dire. So again, the responsibility on us-as parents, as politicians, as educators, as a society-we truly we have to take care of our youth.” Hansen, an ISU alumna, was asked to be a guest director for the play in honor of ISU Theatre celebrating 100 years. “It’s an absolute, beautiful honor … [It’s] extremely gracious to be able to do this, because so much of who I am absolutely came from this very place,” Hansen said. “It’s kind of like a full circle ... This is my home.” The theater is also a home for many other students, not all majoring in performing arts but have an interest in theater. The whispers of the actors’ footsteps may be silent, but their true connection to their character is loud and clear. The environment is consistently filled with joyous and intense energy. Melchior, played by Christopher Kent, goes to school with Wendla. Melchior rapes Wendla, which leads to her pregnancy. Melchior understands sexual reproduction, unlike Wendla, who asks her mother where babies came

from several times. Wendla’s mother would never tell her. Once it was pronounced Wendla was pregnant, her mother was in disarray. Talking about the birds and the bees was not a common conversation to have between mother and daughter in the 19th century. “Anything we do for youth, anything, will never go wasted. Children are always watching, learning from adults. I love that message,” Hansen said. “I absolutely do. I love that reminder that the play gives us, we as adults. It’s our responsibility to bring up the next generation with love.” Proving that communication is an important benefactor, it is still overlooked in the 21st century, especially when talking about sexuality. “Spring Awakening” is at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 3, 4, 10 and 11 and at 2 p.m. Oct. 5. All performances are at Fisher Theater. Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors and $11 for students. Tickets can be bought at the Iowa State Center Ticket Office and online at ticketmaster.com. They will also be available at the door in Fisher Theater before the show.

turnout for these country performers. “This is the first time we are having a concert at the Hansen Agricultural Student Learning Center and it can hold up to 4,000 people,” said Brietzke. The doors open at 7 p.m. and the show will start at 8 p.m. on Oct. 2. The building is located off of Mortensen Road, by the ice rink on the south side of campus. Tickets are $15 with a student ID or $25 for the public and can be purchased at the Maintenance Shop or online at midwestix.com.

Insurance Companies Legally Rip-Off Iowa Injured Workers By . . .

Yes, insurance companies can legally pay you less than what you are owed and do not have to tell you the truth. Many injured workers fail to learn the Injured Workers Bill of Rights which includes: 1. Payment of Mileage at $.56 per mile 2. Money for Permanent Disability 3. 2nd Medical Opinion in Admitted Claims. . . . A New Book reveals your other rights and much more so you do not get ripped-off. Iowa Work Injury Attorney Corey Walker offers his book at no cost because since 1997, he has seen far too many hard working Iowans who did not know their rights treated badly by insurance companies. If you or a loved one have been hurt at work and do not have an attorney claim your copy (while supplies last). Call Now (800)-707-2552, ext. 311 (24 Hour Recording) or go to www.IowaWorkInjury.com. Our Guarantee- If you do not learn at least one thing from our book call us and we will donate $1,000 to your charity of choice.
