HARVEST SEASON
Students help on family farms BY ANNELISE.WELLS @iowastatedaily.com As Grant Heineman drives down the gravel roads of rural Ogden, Iowa, he points out a house on the right side of his truck.
“And that’s where my brother lives,” he says as the sun starts to set behind the wind turbines on the horizon. Heineman is able to recognize and tell stories about almost all of his neighbors near his farm. Whether it’s giving a friendly wave to his cousin driving the opposite direction or pointing out one of

DOR addresses dorm harassment Threatening messages on white boards in unnamed residence halls are being investigated and called to attention by the Department of Residence.

After threatening statements were found on whiteboards in residence halls, the Department of Residence continues to search for those responsible and said this kind of behavior will not be tolerated at Iowa State.
“These were race-based comments, and they were threatening,” said Peter Englin, director of housing at Iowa State. “These comments are serious enough to be punished by expulsion and suspension.” The search started back in September when the initial comments were found written at an unnamed residence hall. “Three weekends ago, I think it was noticed on a late Saturday night or early Sunday morning,” Englin said. “We found two notes that day and then two days later on a different floor in a different place it was written.” Englin could not give the specifics of who exactly was targeted or where these statements were made, but said this kind of behavior is unacceptable at Iowa State. “We want to create a home for people to feel safe and loved in,” Englin said. “We take responsibility in helping these students when they have problems.” Englin encountered similar situations back in the 1990s when he first started working at Iowa State. “Back in the early 1990s, there might be a full-frontal nude of a female outside of a door ... a poster in front where we had MLK or Malcolm X that was spit on,” Englin said. These kinds of situations were solved through communication between the students and surrounding community. “I would say that the severity is about the same, but the frequency is down,” Englin said. “I’m glad to see the students’ response saying that this is not OK.” Englin said he has an idea of why this kind

of harassment happens at colleges worldwide. “People come from all different backgrounds with their own ideals,” Englin said. “That’s where it would be great to have a conversation with the individuals responsible, so we know why exactly they did it. We want to have different views, but when it targets individuals or groups and says that they are not welcome, then that’s when we step in.” This harassment has affected both students and community members, those of which, as said prior, could not be stated, but Englin said “our priority is to focus on the victims, then look at the bigger picture. We want to navigate and provide the support they need.” The Department of Residence has and will contact the ISU Police Department if something similar in nature happens again here at Iowa State. “We have and always will take it seriously. We notify ISU Police to help document and when we do we’re looking at violation, not a crime,” Englin said. No perpetrator has come forward or been caught as of yet, but the investigations still continue. However, Englin is proud of the Iowa State community for its response to this kind of harassment. “This generation of students gets it,” Englin said. “I’m very optimistic that we’re on a much better path, but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt as much as it did now.” Englin assured everything is being done to try and find out who wrote the messages and this kind of behavior will not be tolerated at Iowa State. “Our job is to educate and teach around, to create accountability around us,” Englin said. “If you look at the support and chair of student body that this kind of harassment is not what it means to be a Cyclone. If you’re going to start harassing individuals, don’t live here.”

CELEBRATING 105 YEARS OF ADVENTURE

MEGAN MOJEIKO/ IOWA STATE DAILY
MASS CAMPANILING, 2016 Mass campaniling has been a homecoming tradition at Iowa State for many years. Students gather around the Campanile on Friday at midnight to kiss their lover.
ALPHA KAPPA LAMBDA AND DELTA SIGMA PHI WIN YELL LIKE HELL, 1987 Yell Like Hell was established in 1963 after residence halls were asked to write their own original “yells” about Iowa State that were judged on student enthusiasm and originality. The competition’s five finalists would go on to compete at the Homecoming Pep Rally. By the 1980s, contestants were judged on the additional criteria of school spirit and the incorporation of school colors, leading to the tradition of painting one’s body from head to toe in cardinal and gold. By 2002, residence halls no longer participated in the event. Alpha Kappa Lambda and Delta Sigma Phi won the competition in 1987.
HOMECOMING CENTRAL COMMITTEE, 1977 The Homecoming Central Committee works to plan each event for the homecoming week and recruits members to help them plan and execute each event. The committee in 1977 had 15 members- the 2017 committee has 28. MARCHING BAND AND COLOR GUARD, 1977 The Iowa State Cyclone Varsity Marching Band performs with the color guard at every football game, a tradition that stands to this day, to every game.

Keep the air clear of smoke Smoking doesn’t look cool BY MEGAN.PETZOLD @iowastatedaily.com
My whole life, my family has warned me about the dangers of choosing to smoke. From before I could remember to when I was in high school, everyone around me was telling me not to smoke because it would kill my lungs. Those hundreds of people must have had the same exact idea for a reason, maybe they were right.
Along with the hundreds of people who told me about the dangers of smoking, the staff at Iowa State also does not condone smoking on campus. In fact, Iowa passed a law called the Smokefree Air Act, which says that smoking is prohibited within closed spaces, in places of business and some outdoor areas. This is not a restriction of rights, this is just a law protecting everyone from death by lack of oxygen due to the fact that cigarettes kill lungs. Yes, we are all adults and able to buy cigarettes after 18 years of not being able to. But being 18 doesn’t mean you are immune to what comes out of cigarettes. For some, smoking may feel like it makes them seem more like an adult, cooler, more rebellious and less dependent on their parents. Iowa State thinks that looking cool and like a rebel doesn’t make it OK to damage other people’s lungs, much less your own. Still, students disregard the signs and warnings set up on campus and decide to light up anyway. This is extremely disrespectful not only toward the people who have advised you against smoking but also to those around you who have chosen not to smoke. Smoking is the number one preventable cause of death in the United States according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 480,000 people die each year from the side effects of smoking. Some of those side effects include cardiovascular disease, blood clots and chronic obstructive
BRIAN MOZEY/ IOWA STATE DAILY Columnist Megan Petzold argues that one should not ignore the health risks of smoking as it affects not only the smoker but everyone around them.
pulmonary disease (COPD) including emphysema and chronic bronchitis. People who smoke have an increased risk of heart disease, strokes and lung cancer. Somehow, people weigh the risks versus the benefits and, knowing everything I’ve listed above, still decide to smoke. Smokers disregard their health and the health of others through second hand smoke. I’ve come to enjoy clean, fresh air. Why ruin it with the smell of burning tobacco and tar? Not smoking provides so many benefits. And if you do decide to smoke, respect those around you and don’t smoke on campus.
EDITORIAL
Trump needs to show empathy for those in distress Last Wednesday, President Trump made news again after his condolence call to the widow of a slain soldier who was killed along with three other servicemen in an ambush in Niger earlier this month. President Trump said the soldier “knew what he signed up for,” which hurt the already heartbroken widow. The soldier’s mourning mother, in turn, accused the president of disrespecting her family.
However, President Trump refuted the allegations by saying that he “didn’t say it at all and had a very nice conversation with the slain sergeant’s wife, who sounded like a lovely woman.” President Trump seems to be someone who may not mean to come off as incredibly rude or offensive, but it just happens. Although embarrassing others sometimes seems to be a key part of Trump’s character, as is seen from his bullying tweets, immature behavior on such painful occasions is entirely unsympathetic and irresponsible. These comments show no understanding or empathy of what people go through after losing important
ones in their life. President Trump lacks empathy and respect and is hardly concerned about it. “He has spent his life in a bubble, surrounded by hired yes men and women who have never told his inner child to grow up,” Stuart Stevens, Republican consultant, told CNN of Trump. For him, being president has always been about competing with others and reasserting America’s position at the top. But, as president, he must have some sense of empathy with the people whom he governs, especially the families of those who are killed while protecting our country. This is not the first time that President Trump has disrespected a grieving military family. He has demonstrated this apathetic behavior repeatedly even before becoming president. Last year, he attacked the family of Humayun Khan, an army lieutenant who died in Iraq in 2004. More recently, his equivocating reaction to Charlottesville violence, insulting behavior while visiting disaster areas impacted by hurricanes Harvey, Irma
and Maria and use of abusive language for kneeling NFL players all demonstrate his inability to feel the pain of troubled people. Effective leaders who posses empathy can listen, understand, feel, recognize, analyze and share other’s emotions and build trusting relationships. Wars and natural catastrophes pose special challenges to governments and especially their political leaders. In both cases, political leaders can do little more by means of motivating and showing empathy. Their words enriched with consolation and inspiration can warm the nation’s blood to stand strong and united in any havoc and bounce back no matter how bad the situation is. Grieving families need a shoulder to cry on and helping hands to stay strong during the moments of great sadness rather than being reminded of what they’ve lost. However, Trump hasn’t been gifted with the virtue of empathy, but while being president he must show some to share the pain of grieving families and to reassure them that better days will come.

Lewis continues Milwaukee legacy BY AARON.MARNER @iowastatedaily.com Lindell Wigginton’s commitment last year made waves for Iowa State basketball, and for good reason. HANNAH OLSON/ IOWA STATE DAILY Freshman guard Terrence Lewis, decided to stay at iowa State after his primary recruiter T.J. Otzelberger left for South Dakota State.
Terrence Lewis From: Milwaukee, Wis. DOB: 10/30/1998 Position: Guard Stats: Four-star recruit, finished with 1,856 career points, made 120 three-pointers in junior and senior season.
HANNAH OLSON/ IOWA STATE DAILY
He was highly-rated. He’s been a winner. He has legitimate NBA aspirations. But Wigginton isn’t the only big-name freshman who will be expected to contribute at Iowa State this year. Four-star forward Terrence Lewis might not be as well-known as Wigginton, but he’s looking to provide a different role and make an impact where he can. What can he bring to the team as an unproven true freshman? “I just expect him to not get too high, not get too low,” said senior point guard Donovan Jackson. “I think he just has to understand the system and stuff like that but I think he’s gonna be real good for us.” At 6-foot-6, Lewis can play guard or forward. His shooting ability, as coach Steve Prohm and others have noted, will help him get on the floor right away. At the high school level in Milwaukee, Lewis hit 55.8 percent of his 3-point attempts over his final two years and totaled 120 made threes. During the Capital City League in Des Moines this summer, Lewis and teammate Solomon Young routinely combined for 50 points or more, and the duo became the most consistent team in the league. As far as this year goes? Lewis will be in a position he’s never been in before. He may not be a starter when the season rolls around. “I’ve always been a starter at every level,” Lewis said. “If I have to come off the bench as a sixth man I’ll give it everything I’ve got.” So while his role on the team may not be overwhelming, Lewis’ path to Ames has been unusual. T.J. Otzelberger, who started as the primary recruiter for Lewis to Iowa State when Otzelberger was an assistant coach for the Cyclones, is now the head coach at South Dakota State. Lots of players decommit or transfer when their lead recruiter bolts for another program. But not Lewis, even though he said he still stays in contact with Otzelberger. “I still contact him, he still contacts me,” Lewis said of his relationship with Otzel-
berger. “I’m still working as hard as I can right now to get some of his advice and bring it to this program.” Lewis said he never really felt any doubt about Iowa State after Otzelberger left, even after other schools such as UNLV, Marquette and Illinois had offered him scholarships, too. One of the reasons for that is assistant coach Daniyal Robinson, who helped fill in for Otzelberger when he left for South Dakota State. Robinson’s commitment to Lewis and Iowa State’s success with Milwaukee players made an impact on the decision, Lewis said. Robinson and Lewis’ relationship was a big selling point as well. “We kind of gang recruit,” Robinson said. “So when [Otzelberger] left, coach Prohm definitely was a huge part in it every day and I just recruited him like I would any other player… I’ve had a relationship with his dad, so I kinda already had an idea what the situation was.” Lewis is also a part of the Milwaukee pipeline that has been so successful for Iowa State in recent years. The most recent one, and the only other Milwaukee native on this year’s roster, is Donovan Jackson. “He’s been a good leader this year, just trying to help me get around the ropes,” Lewis said. “Donovan’s a good player, a good person.” Jackson got to play alongside Deonte Burton last year, another Milwaukee native. Before that, Jameel McKay represented Milwaukee as a Cyclone. That recent Milwaukee pipeline extends back from Diante Garrett through Terrence Lewis, and it’s become something of a recruiting hotbed for Iowa State. “I think it all started with T.J. Otzelberger,” Jackson said. “I think it just keeps on forming. Everybody from Milwaukee kind of wants to come to Iowa State and play.” For Lewis, being the next in line among the Milwaukee Cyclones was appealing, and considering how many of them have gone on to play in the NBA after Iowa State, it’s not hard to see why. “I guess coach [Prohm] likes a lot of great, aggressive guys from Milwaukee,” Lewis said with a smile. “I’m glad he chose me to be a part of his program and I’m glad he chose Donovan Jackson.”

Iowa State Daily Wednesday, October 25, 2017
lation of 1,996 people. It is about half an hour outside of Ames. Their farm was built in 1889. Some of Heineman’s family still lives in the original house that was built 128 years ago. On the farm, they primarily harvest corn and soybeans. They have a rotation of three trucks that are constantly transporting and moving the crops. Additionally, they have large corn driers that help get moisture out of their corn. Heineman is also a member of Alpha Gamma Rho, a social and professional fraternity that focuses on careers in agriculture. The fraternity allows agriculture majors to not only connect socially with peers, but have better connections when they head out into the workforce. “Once you graduate you have so many connections, which is great,” Heineman said. Heineman also said farming is a lot like gambling. This is because the length of the harvest season is dependent on the weather. Usually harvest season lasts from around late August to mid November. However, with the larger amount of rain Iowa has had over the past weeks, some places might be harvesting up until Thanksgiving. Additionally, Heineman said his dad has allowed him to live his life at college and he doesn’t have to come home if he doesn’t want to. However, as he has gotten older, he said he looks forward to heading home to help out during harvest more and more. “I can’t really picture myself doing anything else,” Heineman said.
Another senior who helps out back home is Andrew McEvoy. McEvoy is majoring in agricultural studies and minoring in agronomy. Growing up with an agricultural background, he also started working in the family business when he was young. “You start out with Grandma and Grandpa teaching you the ropes a little bit, letting you drive the tractor once a while, driving vehicles in fields when you are young so you can’t hit anything,” McEvoy said. McEvoy helps out with their corn and soybean crops along with their cow-calf operations. He’s had an interest in livestock since he was in fifth grade. Similarly to Heineman, McEvoy has the challenge of both working at home and trying to enjoy college life. “I try to find a balance,” McEvoy said. “I don’t go home every weekend, but definitely when Dad needs help. “You learn a lot in the real world that you don’t learn in the classroom.” McEvoy has been involved with many agriculture organizations on campus over his four years. He has served on the CALS Council, been involved with the CALS ambassador program and been a part of the Agricultural Marketing and Management Organization. Although he has many career goals and interests for his immediate future, McEvoy has one constant underlying goal looking forward. “Ultimately, just to be able to farm and keep it in the family for another generation,” McEvoy said.
