ONE OF THE CYCLONES’ OWN Iowa State chooses next president BY DANIELLE.GEHR @iowastatedaily.com Wendy Wintersteen said she can’t wait to get to work.
Wintersteen, who started her career at Iowa State 38 years ago and is the dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, was selected by the Board of Regents as Iowa State’s next president. The Regents’ decision, which came Monday, was unanimous. Wintersteen was welcomed into the Campanile Room with applause and a standing ovation. Her first address as Iowa State’s president was attended by group of about 100. “I am so honored and humbled to be named the next president of Iowa State University,” Wintersteen said. “To look out into the audience today and see so many of my friends and colleagues from across the university… thank you all for being here to welcome me today.” Wintersteen said she looks forward to working with all of the Iowa State community to create an open, inclusive and welcoming environment “where every student who works hard can achieve their full potential.” Wintersteen has served as the dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Science since 2006. At her open forum, Wintersteen listed her accomplishments at Iowa State, including raising $250 million with her colleagues, creating approximately 400 jobs with an agricultural entrepreneurship initiative and doubling the number of Iowa State faculty in the National Academy. Following Wintersteen being announced as a finalist, people expressed concern over her past involvement with agriculture companies, which people felt were not sustainable. Some people also felt she should have done more when state funding was cut from the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture. Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Art Cullen wrote a letter into the Daily expressing these concerns. Angie Carter, a fourth generation Cyclone, wrote a letter over her issues with the now Iowa State president. During a press conference after her speech, Wintersteen said her biggest challenge will be addressing budget restraints. “We have to be able to look at our budget, manage that budget in a very appropriate manner. One of my platforms in my application was really how we can go about creating better efficiencies at the universities,” Wintersteen said. She said she wants Iowans to know Iowa State will never

waste a dollar of their money. During her five minute speech, Wintersteen also touched on the Forever True, For Iowa State campaign. “The donations to this campaign will make a tremendous difference in scholarships for our students and special experiences that they will be able to participate in. It will help us build first-class research and educational facilities,” Wintersteen said. Wintersteen said she looks forward to getting to know every corner of Iowa State University and said her goal is to make it the best land-grant institutions in the nation, which was met with applause. “Dr. Wendy Wintersteen is an outstanding selection as our 16th president,” Roger Underwood, a member of the ISU Foundation board, said. “She is a listener and she’s respectful of everyone’s opinion. Will everyone get their way? No. But everyone will get a voice.” She also said she wants to work with Gov. Kim Reynolds and communicate the successes of Iowa State. A main point
during her open forum was that Iowa State needs to better communicate its accomplishments, in an eff ort to combat state budget cuts. Cody West, president of Student Government and a member of the presidential search committee, attended the speech and commented on the Regent’s selection of Wintersteen. “I think her previous institutional knowledge will serve us all well,” West said. During the press conference, Wintersteen answered a question regarding water quality. Wintersteen said Iowa State has been a leader when it comes to water quality in Iowa. “We are going to maintain that commitment. Hopefully, we’ll be able to grow it,” Wintersteen said. Wintersteen also made a point to thank Interim President Ben Allen and his wife for all they have done for Iowa State, saying they deserve another round of applause. “I’ve been at Iowa State University 38 years. I love this university. I care about its future,” Wintersteen said. “I am just thrilled I’ve been given this opportunity.”
“I think this is an exciting time for Iowa State. Our first female president, highly qualified, knows the instituition well, knows the state, understands our land-grant mission. I’m looking forward to working with her. I really want to get her insights on how we move to the next level.”
“I just have to say outstanding work by the search committee. A wonderful selection by the Board of Regents. It’s a very historic appointment and it’s going to be very important for the future of the university. Very exciting.” — JONATHAN WICKERT, Senior Vice President and Provost

INTERIM
Ben Allen looks ahead to transition BY DANIELLE.GEHR @iowastatedaily.com Interim President Ben Allen said, with the selection of the new president, his new role is whatever she wants him to do.
Allen predicts he will remain at Iowa State for just a few more months before returning to retirement. His plans of train rides through Europe, a possible safari and much needed time with his family in St. Louis will continue to be put on hold as he helps the new president adjust to the role. Allen has served as interim president for the past six months, taking over May 9 after current-Auburn University President Steven Leath announced his resignation in March. “One, it’s an honor to be asked, so it’s almost like you do it as service. I think I’ve said before publicly, the biggest opportunity cost is not being with my grandkids, my daughter, her family,” Allen said. “But it wasn’t a difficult choice in terms. I knew that this would be a good place to be for a short period of time.” Allen worked at Iowa State for more than 27 years before leaving to be president of the University of Northern Iowa. During his time at Iowa State, Allen held numerous positions including many other interim roles. Allen jokes that he can’t keep a job. He said both he and his wife have enjoyed being back, though the nostalgia was met with some difficult decisions. One of the first decisions Allen made as interim president was to propose a raised tuition rate. The recommendation includes 7 percent increases for in-state students and 4 percent tuition increases over the next five years. Allen has said the tuition increases are to make up $30 million cuts in state appropriations to Iowa’s three regent institutions. “The interim is not a passive type of position. You have to keep making decisions. It didn’t take too long to realize you have no option. You have to keep making decisions,” Allen said. On top of tuition raises, Allen decided there would be no across-the-board salary increase for faculty and staff. There were only raises for performance and market adjustments, but Allen said those raises still were not much. “Faculty and staff, they work hard here. They’ve been under pressure because of the growth in population, so that was a tough decision,” Allen said. “With how hard people work here, it didn’t seem fair, but I didn’t think it’d be fair to take money from the students in that particular case.” Allen said when people retire, they get into a different type of pattern of not having to make decisions and not having to watch what they say.

HANNAH OLSON/IOWA STATE DAILY
“The interim is not a passive type of position... It didn’t take too long to realize you have no option. You have to keep making decisions.” He said his wife noticed a change in his voice after taking on the position. Allen said the student leaders have always been a great help to him, speaking of both his time at University of Northern Iowa and his transition back into Iowa State. He said the advice from the student leaders was consistently better than anyone else. “The student leaders are pretty frank about what they believe and they give good advice,” Allen said. “I still stay in contact with many of the student body presidents from UNI because you do work closely with them.” Allen said the hardest part of his job as interim president is making choices on what he should make decisions on and what he should leave to the next president. Allen said he wants to take certain decisions off the next president’s hands, so they aren’t burdened with too many, but there are certain decisions he cannot make for the president. “My charge here was to position the university
best I could so that the next president would be successful.” Some key decisions awaiting the new president is appointing the dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine, a vice president of extension and outreach and a vice president of human resources. Since Wendy Wintersteen was selected as president, she will have to appoint a new dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, which she currently holds. When Miles Lackey leaves at the end of the year, a new chief financial officer and chief of staff will be needed as well. Allen said he will likely be gone before Lackey’s last day, though it depends on how the transition goes. After he leaves Iowa State, Allen will head back to St. Louis to be with his daughter and her children. “I have enjoyed [my time back here] tremendously. My wife has enjoyed it,” Allen said. “We got to come back to a place where we spent 27 plus years and get reacquainted with old friends.”

A look at the past 15 presidents BY ISAAC.CARSON AND MAGGIE.CURRY @iowastatedaily.com

ADONIJAH WELCH
WILLIAM CHAMBERLAIN
RAYMOND PEARSON
Adonijah Welch was president of Iowa State from 1868 to 1883. Welch was serving as a U.S. senator in Florida when he accepted the position of president in 1868. His most lasting legacy may be the design of Iowa State’s early campus. Welch helped develop Iowa State’s first courses in agriculture and mechanical arts and supported the right of women to receive a college education. The first class was comprised of 173 students, including 136 men and 37 women, thus making Iowa State the first land-grant college to be co-educational from the start. Welch was often asked to address farmer’s gatherings, horticultural meetings and breeder’s conventions. His wife, Mary Welch, established the first courses in the domestic sciences, which would later become the College of Family and Consumer Sciences, according to the university website. He was removed by the governing board in 1883. Welch residence hall and Welch Avenue are both named after him. More information on each of the presidents can be found at University Archives or in “A Sesquincentennial History of Iowa State University, Tradition and Transformation.”
William Chamberlain was president of Iowa State from 1886 to 1890. During Chamberlain’s presidency, he regularly defended the college’s curriculum which was often criticized by local citizens for not focusing enough on agriculture. On campus, many students opposed fraternities due to their secretive and exclusionary nature. Thus, his backing of student fraternities would eventually cost him the support of most of the students, according to the university website. Both Chamberlain Place and Chamberlain Street in Ames are named after him.
Raymond Pearson was president of Iowa State from 1912 to 1926. Campus construction during his administration surpassed that of any other era prior to the post-World War II boom; 14 academic buildings in service during the 1970s were constructed during Pearson’s term, according to the university website. Pearson was leading Iowa State during the time of the first World War, and took a leave from campus in 1917-18 to be an assistant secretary of agriculture in Washington, D.C. He would return to lead the campus through the post-war period. Following the war there was a surge of enrollment, and therefore a surge in needed construction. Pearson completed the divisional organization of undergraduate programs, strongly promoted the graduate program, which was given divisional status in 1915, broadened extension service and gave wholehearted support to “big-time” goals in athletics. Pearson Hall is named after him.
02.
SEAMAN KNAPP
Seaman Knapp was president of Iowa State from 1883 to 1884, after the college’s governing board removed President Adonijah Welch in 1883. Knapp resigned after only one year. While at Iowa State, Knapp was the first Chair of Agriculture. He was responsible for developing the agricultural curriculum and conducting early experiments in animal husbandry, dairy industry and farm crops. Knapp also helped draft the 1883 Experiment Station Bill that was presented to the U.S. House of Representatives, according to the university website. Knapp-Storms Dining Complex and Knapp Street are named after him.
03.
LEIGH HUNT
Leigh Hunt was president of Iowa State from 1885 to 1886. The summer before joining Iowa State he married an alumna, Jessie Noble, who was part of Des Moines society, according to student publications at the time. His lack of experience and aggressive style of leadership led to conflicts with the students and faculty. One thing the heavily-agricultural student body did not like was the carriage he kept for transport. His expulsion of two seniors led to a strike of the junior and senior classes. Although Hunt won the strike and the majority of the students returned, his unpopularity caused him to resign after only one year, according to “A Sesquincentennial History of Iowa State University, Tradition and Transformation.” Hunt Street in Ames is named after him.
05.
WILLIAM BEARDSHEAR
William Beardshear was president of Iowa State from 1891 to 1902. A former minister, Beardshear developed new agricultural programs and was instrumental in hiring premier faculty members such Anson Marston, Louis B. Spinney, J.B. Weems, Perry G. Holden and Maria Roberts. Beardshear brought more awareness across the state to the college. He began to publicize the college by taking the college to the people and bringing the people to the college. The president traveled the state, delivering commencement addresses and speaking at teacher’s institutes and farmer’s clubs. He convinced the state’s railroads to put on excursion trains at low rates, making it possible for thousands of Iowans to visit the school. He also increased funding from the legislature to double the number of buildings on campus. Beardshear spearheaded the formation of an athletic association, and banned fraternities on campus, though they would return. The Campanile was built in 1899 during his time as president, according to the university website. He is the only president to die while serving. Beardshear Hall is named after him.
06.
ALBERT STORMS
Albert Storms was president of Iowa State from 1903 to 1910. During his tenure, Iowa State began the Agricultural Extension Service, acquired hundreds of acres of land, developed a plan for campus landscaping and modernization of utilities, and erected 18 new buildings. Iowa State also organized academic departments under the direction of deans, increasing the number and type of courses and degrees offered. In addition, the college lifted the ban on fraternities and sororities as well as loosened other policies regarding the students’ social activities, according to the university website. Storm Street in Ames and Knapp-Storms Dining Complex are named after him.
08.
RAYMOND HUGHES
Raymond Hughes was president of Iowa State from 1927 to 1936. During his time at Iowa State, Dr. Hughes guided the college through the difficult Depression years. A program was developed called “cooperative dormitories,” where students could work and clean for room and board. Early forms of federal work-study programs helped some students. Students were also able to rent, instead of purchase, their textbooks. The college used up accounts for loaning to students. He brought Iowa State into a more harmonious relationship with sister institutions in the state system, promoted the enrichment of technical curricula, broadened research to focus on problems involving interdivisional efforts, established several research and service supporting agencies, most notably the Statistical Laboratory and instituted the development of placement and student counseling services, according to the university website. Hughes Street in Ames is named after him.
09.
CHARLES FRILEY
Charles Friley was president of Iowa State from 1936 to 1953. His 17-year term was the longest of Iowa State’s first 11 presidents, and spanned higher education’s most turbulent era, from the closing phase of the Depression through World War II and into the post-war “educational revolution.” It was an administration characterized by emergency efforts, the most notable among them Iowa State’s participation in the Manhattan (atomic research) project. Friley was directly responsible for Iowa State’s establishment of the nation’s first educationally-owned and operated television station, according to the university website. Friley Road and Friley residence hall are named after him.

A LITTLE ‘BRIT’ DIFFERENT HANNAH OLSON/IOWA STATE DAILY London Underground has been coined “a pub of brilliant characters,” and their goal is to create a community using events such as beer tastings and workshops.
Shaken, not stirred at London Underground
BY SAVANNA.PARDEKOOPER @iowastatedaily.com London Underground, located on Main Street in the historic downtown Ames is known for their selection of spirits, imported beer and interesting characters.
“We opened 10 years ago with the goal of offering something different. A place where you could build relationships and engage with the local community,” said Jess Clyde, owner of London Underground.
“We have coined the term ‘a pub of brilliant characters,’” Clyde said. With an interesting selection of beers from around the world, a well-curated list of wines, a plethora of vintage cocktails, and over 70 American, Irish and Scotch whiskeys, London Underground knows how to help bar-goers find exactly what they’re looking for. “When we opened, we had a goal to create a comfortable space for good drinks, great conversation and a way to engage with the community. We have been able to do that by hosting a lot of different events and weekly specials,” Clyde
said. Some of the events include monthly liquor, beer tastings and workshops. Each month features a style of beer, spirits or cocktail techniques. Another event offered is Bartop Burlesque. Taking place on the last Monday of every month, live music and dancers produced by the Renegade Arts Collective perform on London Underground’s bar.

DARING PAIRINGS Why does this pairing work so well? Guinness is described as a perfect balance of bitter and sweet with malt and roast characters, this beer would pair well with the smokiness of the bacon and creaminess of the melted cheese. Stouts are well received when drank along with smoked and salty foods. Ideally you want the beer to be sweeter than the meal.
Four Stout Styles: Irish, Oyster, Oatmeal, American Irish:
Oatmeal Stouts:
Usually Irish stouts are a little more dry with light body, making them an easier drink. Many Irish stouts are served on a nitro system for that creamy, masking effect. The bitterness in this type of beer is coming from roasted barley and a large amount of hops. The average alcohol content for Irish stouts ranges from 4 to 7 percent. (Examples: Guinness, Murphy’s, Beamish)
Oatmeal stouts are smooth to drink due to the addition of oats. The oats not only add smoothness but also sweetness to the flavor. There’s an average alcohol content of four to 7 percent. (Examples: Samuel Smith, Young’s)
What does a nitro system entail? Craftbeer.com defines nitro beers as the following, “When people talk of nitro, it’s a reference to the type of gas used in the carbonation process. A typical nitrogenized beer contains about 70 percent nitrogen and 30 percent carbon dioxide.”
American stouts were inspired from the English and Irish stouts. American brewers add coffee or chocolate to complement the roasted flavors that are associated with the stout style of beer. As well, breweries age their beer in bourbon or whiskey barrels to create a richer flavor. The average alcohol content of American stouts ranges from 4 to 7 percent. (Examples: Bell’s Kalamazoo, Rogue Shakespeare)
Russian Imperial Stouts:
Local Stouts to Check Out:
Russian Imperial stouts contain a moderate amount of carbonation with chocolate and burnt malt flavors. These stouts are often quite dry and there’s an average alcohol content of 8 to 12 percent. (Examples: Founder’s Imperial Stout, Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout)
Rover Truck, Oatmeal Stout from Toppling Goliath (5.7% ABV, 35 IBUs) Assassin, Barrel Aged Imperial Stout from Toppling Goliath (12% ABV, Hidden IBUs) Sir-Moch-A-Lot Milk Stout from Exile Brewing (7.1% ABV, 30 IBUs) Russian Imperial Stout from Big Grove Brewery (10.5% ABV)

Whiskey Education
Scotch whisky is a liquor type that’s evolved from a Scottish drink called uisge beatha, translating to “water of life”. This term was later mainstreamed to usky, and finally to what we’re familiar with today as whiskey. When referencing scotch, it’s important to realize there are two different types of whiskey, scotch and whisky. Scotch is whisky made in Scotland, whereas Bourbon is a type of whiskey originating from the United States. Scotch whisky is whiskey made mostly from malted barley that has been distilled and matured in Scotland. It’s typically known for its rubber, almost wood-like taste and powerful bite in the throat. Next time you find yourself at London Underground make sure to try a signature drink from their extensive Scotch menu, you certainly won’t regret it.

Malting
Malting, the first step of making whiskey, is when barley is steeped in water, spread across a large area to allow germination and is routinely rotated to prevent the buildup of heat. This allows enzymes to become activated. After about a week of germination the barley, now termed ‘green malt’, goes to the kiln for drying.
Mashing Mashing occurs when the freshly dried malt is ground into flour and mixed with hot water. The water is added in three stages, with each stage getting increasingly hetter. The mash is stirred to ensure the conversion of starch to sugar; the liquid product of the mashing and stirring is known as wort.
Fermentation
Fermentation starts when the wort is cooled and pumped into washbacks; this is where living yeast is added and the fermentation begins. The live yeast feed on the sugar from the barley which produces alcohol and other small quantities of compounds knowns as congeners; these help with supplying flavor to the Scotch.
Boiling The still is heated just below the boiling point of alcohol. The evaporated alcohol is then forced through a condensing coil where it cools and is collected as liquid alcohol. Afterward the unfinished Scotch is placed in oak barrels marking the start of the maturation process.
Maturation The whiskey adopts a much smoother and more flavorful taste while also absorbing the golden color of the barrels they’re held in.
Now, get ready to drink the whiskey. A popular drink mixed with Scotch is a whiskey sour, typically made with whiskey, sour mix or lemon juice, soda water and a little sugar. Irish coffees are also common, these are made with whiskey and a cup a coffee. Some people prefer Scotch all by itself, but there’s a specific technique when sipping Scotch solo. First, select the proper whiskey glass to pour a small amount of whiskey into. Swirl the whiskey around slow and gentle, to smell and enjoy the scent; after taking in the aroma continue by sipping a tiny bit of the Scotch. Continue, repeating the steps.

A LETTER TO
THE NEXT
PRESIDENT
You are the 16th president of this great university and the Editorial Board would like to congratulate you on your success. We have a feeling that you are excited and want to get right down to business by constantly making Iowa State a better university. Here are our suggestions on how you can get started.
Iowa State is currently conducting a Campus Climate Survey that ends on Oct. 31. This survey will give you a better idea about the challenges our university and the Cyclone community is facing. However, even before the results are released, the Editorial Board thinks that the major issues requiring your leadership include (but not necessarily limited to): diversity and inclusion, sexual assault prevention, the costs of attending Iowa State and a strong vision for Iowa State. Diversity and inclusion is an issue that communities should always be striving for. Just last month, white nationalist recruiting posters were found in several places around campus. However, this issue isn’t just about organized hate groups in our community. Evidence of systematic problems with diversity and inclusion is apparent in a variety of situations across our campus. Luckily, a lot of students, faculty and community members are working to celebrate diversity and make a more inclusive environment. What we need from you, our next president, is to listen to us about the real issues members of our community face. Listen — then develop a plan and enact it with passion. As we have witnessed with the recent #MeToo campaign, survivors of sexual assault are speaking out and our communities are (or should be) demanding more action to reduce the number of sexual assaults. Iowa State has recently engaged in several programs such as Green Dot and ISU Police Department’s “Start By Believing” campaign. More education about what it means to obtain consent is essential. We’ve taken some steps to make our community safer. But, what more can we do? The Editorial Board would like you to help us answer that question. This is an issue facing universities across our country. Collaborate and listen so that we can end sexual violence in all forms. The Iowa State Legislature has failed to adequately fund our state uni-
versities. Subsequently, a tuition increase has been proposed to the Board of Regents Tuition Task Force. This tuition hike along with differential increases in certain majors means the cost of attending Iowa State may become a prohibitive hurdle for future students. It is now your job to advocate for affordable higher education to our elected officials who hold the purse strings to our state funding. The Editorial Board thinks that you should take time to talk with students who will be severely impacted by these tuition increases. Then, fearlessly act on our behalf and communicate our stories with the Board of Regents, the state legislature and the governor.
What we need from you, our next president, it to listen to us about the real issues members of the community face. We’ve outlined several issues we find important. There are a plethora of other issues and new ones that we have yet to identify. We also think that we as a community will be able to tackle these problems with bold leadership. That is what we are asking of you. Iowa State needs a strong vision to push us into the future so that we may become the leading institution we all know we can be. We have high expectations from you, just as you should have high expectations for our university. We are excited you’re taking on the role and wish you the best of luck!

FACULTY
Jamie Pollard eager for new president Wintersteen to take charge BY JACK.MACDONALD @iowastatedaily.com
For Iowa State Athletic Director Jamie Pollard, a change in presidency is nothing new. It was roughly five years earlier that Pollard welcomed Steven Leath into the to Ames community. And once again, a new president will take charge while Pollard remains the boss of Cyclone Athletics.
This time, Wendy Wintersteen will be the new president of Iowa State. Wintersteen was previously the Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Iowa State. LANI TONS/ IOWA STATE DAILY Prior to Wintersteen, Leath worked closely with Pollard and Athletic director Jamie Pollard is looking forward to working with Wendy Wintersteen. Iowa State Athletics. In Leath’s tenure as president, the most notable additions to the athletics department in his time were the hiring of men’s basketball coach Steve Prohm and football coach Matt Campbell. In Prohm’s two seasons at Iowa State, he has guided the Cyclones to a 47-23 record and two NCCA Tournament appearances. Campbell, who is in the midst of his second season, guided the Cyclones a 3-9 record in his first season. This season, he has the Cyclones on the brink of becoming bowl eligible. On top of that, the Cyclones upset then-No. 3 Oklahoma and were handed their first ranking in the AP Top 25 since 2005 when they defeated Texas Tech last weekend. “For me, it was just a personal friendship and relationship that we had,” Pollard said. “I really just respected his decision making and he was an aggressive leader, bold leader and he wasn’t afraid to make decisions.” Pollard said that he was able to give ideas to Leath and Leath, in turn, would take those ideas and run with them. For example, Leath was instrumental in the decision-making process when Jack Trice Stadium was renovated in recent years. The additions to the stadium were the biggest renovations that Jack Trice has LANI TONS/ IOWA STATE DAILY undergone since 1975. Former presidents Steven Leath and Gregory Geoffroy attend a football game on Oct. 22, 2011. “[Steven Leath] allowed me to go do the interviews [on Matt Campbell],” Pollard said. “That’s a great sign of a leader that entrusts his direct reports to go do their jobs, but you also earn that respect – he held people accountable.” The clear advantage for Pollard and Iowa State Athletics is that they are welcoming a current member of the Cyclone family, rather than starting from scratch like they did with Leath. “Truthfully, in my 12 years I haven’t had a lot of interaction with [Wintersteen],” Pollard said. “Athletics and Ag, our worlds just don’t cross that much, but where we do intersect is several donors, who are either friends of mine or people that I’ve interacted with through athletics, that are Ag donors and they think the world of her.” In her 11 years as dean, Wintersteen has helped bring in $247 million in donor contributions for students, faculty and staff. Although Wintersteen has not previously had a heavy impact within the athletic department, she has still supported the team and is not a stranger to the Cyclones and Pollard. “Prior to her candidacy, she came over and met with me and wanted to know more about athletics,” Pollard said. “So, it takes a really humbled leader to admit what they’re either not as comfortable with, or familiar with and then be able to act on that by asking questions and trying to learn.” Whether or not Wintersteen has an immediate impact on Iowa State Athletics, Pollard has no worries about what they will accomplish together and is excited to see what the future holds for the athletic department. “My take on Wendy is that this is really going to be a great fit for Iowa State,” Pollard said.

James Hilton was president of Iowa State from 1953 to 1965. “During his administration, Iowa State experienced the greatest growth in its history. Enrollment soared from 7,800 to more than 12,400. The ‘book value’ of the physical plant increased from $38 million to $471 million. The volume of research rose to $20 million annually. Course offerings and public service programs were greatly broadened,” according to the university’s website. Hilton Coliseum is named after him. Although he was mainly associated with the development of the Iowa State University Center, comprising Hilton Coliseum (named in his honor), Stephens Auditorium (voted “Building of the Century” by the Iowa chapter of the American Institute of Architects) and Fisher Theater, Hilton once remarked that he received greater satisfaction from his efforts in “getting from the legislature the necessary funds needed to improve salaries, insurance programs, and retirement programs.” He also organized the Iowa State University Foundation to raise private funds.

GREGORY GEOFFROY
Gregory Geoffroy was president of Iowa State from 2001 to 2012. He led the university through the aftermaths of the terror attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. Following the attacks, the university was hit with deep budget cuts. Similar cuts would come again in 2008 with the recession. In 2004, Iowa State’s annual Veishea celebration erupted in riots in Campustown involving approximately 2,000 people and leading to dozens of arrests. Geoffroy suspended Veishea for the following year and commissioned a task force to study the causes and potential changes. Veishea resumed in 2006, but most activities were moved from Welch Avenue to Central Campus. “During his administration Iowa State surpassed several milestones, including the completion of Campaign Iowa State, an $800 million fundraising effort,” according to the university website. Geoffroy is still a faculty member in Iowa State’s Chemistry Department. Geoffroy is also credited with saving Morrill Hall, one of the original buildings on campus. The newly constructed Geoffroy residence hall is named after him.
