Career in fear Actors from Haunted Forest reveal their behind-the-scenes tactics

By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com Screams pierced the night, and figures in masks roamed the forest, seeking innocent wanderers as their next prey. No one is actually in danger — unless it’s the danger of wetting themselves. For nearly 15 years, the Haunted Forest in Ames has been a popular attraction for all ages. It has also been a popular activity for those behind the mask. “You get paid to scare people. What’s better than that?” said Megan Beck, junior in industrial engineering and an actor at the Haunted Forest. Lynn and Lee Ballard are brothers who founded the Haunted Forest 15 years ago with their father, Orville Ballard. Since then it has been a family-run business. “It’s an outdoor haunted attraction. It’s about a 20 minute walk through the forest, with a few mazes and rooms,” Lynn said. “Our customers enter the forest, and they are on their own.” Lynn said the Haunted Forest has been a success for many years. “We always draw a big crowd, even after all these years,” Lynn said. “We have people come from a hundred mile radius.” Lynn said the attraction is based on the people who do the scaring. “It’s family-run, but we employ around 40 actors who range from hired personnel to Iowa State students,” Lynn said. Lee Ballard said the attraction would not be the success it is without the actors. “Without them, it would be nothing,” Lee Ballard said. For actors at haunted houses, scaring is an experience that is very different than being scared. Not only do the actors have to scare as many people as possible, but they are required to make sure participants make it through the forest safely. Lee said the actors have creative freedom to use whatever scare tactics they want in the Haunted Forest.

The Haunted Forest in Ames is open this weekend for people to come and experience the thrill of wandering through a haunted forest. Many of the actors who scare people visiting the forest are ISU students, who love dressing up and scaring people.

“When we hire them, we tell them that they can do whatever they’d like, and we’ll help them make it happen,” he said. “They bring in all these ideas for costumes and scenes and so on. It’s just amazing how they come to

together. They find a spot in the forest, and they do great things.” The actors find the best features of the job is the creative freedom.

Iowa State celebrates 100 years of education By Chrissy.Dittmer @iowastatedaily.com The state of Iowa and Iowa State have a history of being first. The Iowa legislature was the first state to accept the terms of the Morrill Act in 1862, making practical education available in the state through its land-grant university. Iowa Agricultural College, the university’s original name, started when farmers from Sioux County approached Professor P.G. Holden to help them with their seed corn germination rate, initiating Iowa State’s connection to the Iowa community with Extension and Outreach. The Smith-Lever Act, passed 100 years ago, was legislation that created federal, formalized cooperative extension programs. “[Iowa State] kind of did a number of things first,” said Cathann Kress, vice president for Extension and Outreach. The department was the third portion of the land-grant school system along with teaching and research. The extension leg became a part of Iowa Agricultural College in 1903 and is now the second largest program at Iowa State, behind the Col-

lege of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Kress said. The mission of Extension and Outreach is simply to pass on knowledge from the land-grant college to people of the state who could utilize its breakthroughs. Kress described early Extension and Outreach as being an expert-driven model. With no Internet to look up answers to agriculture, family sciences and health questions, people turned to the department for answers. “We kind of were the Google,” Kress said. Lyn Brodersen, assistant vice president for Extension and Outreach, said that those founding subjects have now grown to include every college at Iowa State. “We have broadened significantly, and that’s unusual nationwide,” Brodersen said. Kress echoed this by saying Iowa State’s name for the department shows its broad portfolio. The original term, Cooperative Extension, related to agriculture, home economics and 4-H programs. By using the term Extension and Outreach, Iowa State reflects the influence of other disciplines, including design and engineering. “Even 4-H reflects this shift,” Kress said, pointing out programs

in robotics and nanotechnology for Iowa’s youth. In the next 100 years, Extension and Outreach may look more toward three main points that likely were not considered in 1914. “That’s one we’ve been asking ourselves a lot,” Kress said about looking 100 years down the road. The points of interest are demographic trends leading to older, urban and multicultural communities; technology including smartphones, biorenewables and manufacturing; and globalization as it relates to local economies. By having a broad scope in Iowa, nearly one million people directly benefit from the department’s educational programs,

according to the department’s annual report in 2013. Brodersen said students can get involved with Extension and Outreach by applying for internships with the organization and by participating in any programming available. She added that the department can help with a number of questions about landscaping, job opportunities and virtually anything state-wide. “That’s the beauty of what we do,” Kress said. “We can tailor things very specifically to what you need.” Kress also pointed out the possibilities that lay with Extension and Outreach. “I think in Extension and Outreach there are such great opportunities. Everybody can participate and innovate,” Kress said.

The new system of awarding Professional Advancement Grants was clarified for Graduate and Professional Student Senate senators at the monthly meeting Monday. PAGs are grants awarded by GPSS to help offset the cost of attending professional conventions, whether students are traveling to present research or only to attend the convention. The system has been a point of contention and sometimes confusion throughout the semester. The changes to the amount of funds distributed for each award, how awards are distributed and how the application process is conducted have all been met with resistance at one point or another this year. Under the new process, set to go into effect Jan. 15, all awarded applicants will be reimbursed for up to $200 of their travel expenses. The old system awarded research presenters $200, but non-presenters were only reimbursed $120. The number of grants awarded for 2015 is estimated to be 47, or nine percent fewer than 2014 under the new rules. The system has also changed from awarding grants on a firstcome, first-serve basis to a lottery system. They are now awarded on a monthly basis instead of a semester basis, and applications must now be received by the 15th day of the month prior to the month that travel occurs. Cory Kleinheksel, chair for Professional Advancement Grants, said fairness was a major factor in deciding to amend the system. “Before we had applications for August competing against applications for December on a firstcome, first-serve basis,” Kleinheksel said. If an applicant has never received a grant before, they are considered high priority and given first preference when grants are awarded. The senate may consider amending the grant process again at its November meeting based on Senate and constituent feedback. Senate Bill F14-09, allocating more than $9,000 to 14 clubs and organizations, was passed with 89 percent of the vote. No individual club or organization was given more than $800. In other senate business, Michael Crum, vice president for economic development and industry relations, spoke to the Senate about Iowa State’s commitment to help students apply their research to entrepreneurship. The Office of Economic Development and Industry Relations is new this year and works to help external stakeholders connect with and work with the university. Crum said 200 more acres have been annexed for the expansion of the ISU Research Park. “We are currently at about 1,500 employees out there,” Crum said. “We think in 10 to 12 years, a very conservative estimate by a consulting firm we hired, is that we could be at 6,500 to 7,000 employees out there.” Lisa Lorenzen, director of the Office of Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer, said the organization’s mission is to commercialize technologies for the public good and encourage graduate students to think about the application of their research. “If you’re going to be an entrepreneur you better think [your research] is great,” Lorenzen said. “If you don’t think it’s great then who else will.” For the full story on the meeting, check the news tab of the Daily’s website.

Trick or treat

Blake Lanser/Iowa State Daily

Ivan Robak, 1, and Tallis Garcia, 3, pick ducks to win candy during the 2013 Greek Trick or Treat event. Members of the greek community volunteered for two hours to hand out candy to members of the Ames community at Howe Hall. The event is designed to give greek community members the chance to give back to Ames and surrounding communities. This year’s event will be held today in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union from 6 to 8 p.m.

Event provides children chance to interact with greek community By Wendy.Cardwell @iowastatedaily.com Goblins, ghosts and ghouls, among other costumes, will be haunting the Memorial Union from 6-8 p.m. Oct. 28 for the greek community’s annual trickor-treat event. Greek Trick or Treat, which will be held in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union, is an event open to children in Ames and surrounding communities, as well as children of faculty and staff. There is no cost to attend. The event was created several years ago as a way for greek students to give back to the community and interact with local families. “I enjoy being involved because it provides a fun environment filled with many activities and treats for local families to participate and interact with greek students,” said David Nguyen, coordinator for Greek Trick or Treat and senior in chemical engineering. Nguyen, along with Erika Gebard, senior in architecture, and Amina Frazier, sophomore in industrial engineering, are in charge of planning the event. Greek members dress up in Halloween costumes that will promote a safe and fun atmosphere for the children and their families. The members are involved in running stations, handing out candy to all of the sweet-toothed children and participating in activities with the kids. Chapters that were interested in participating in this event created different proposals. All four councils of the greek community are represented and nearly 20 greek chapters are involved in the event this year. “[Gebard], [Frazier]

and I reviewed proposals and selected activities for each group to provide an array of activities,” Nguyen said. “Chapters are bringing the supplies for the activities, and we are supplying the treats.” There are a variety of activities taking place at the event. Some activities include face painting, pin the face on the pumpkin, a rubber duck pond and more. Children are able to participate in games like Spooky Simon Says and witch hat ring toss to earn more treats to take home. The greek community marketed the event by reaching out to the university, local newspapers and the Ames and Boone Community School Districts. Nearly a 100 children participated last year. The event has taken place outside in the past, with the families and children walking up to each decorated greek house. The trick-or-treat route would go past fraternities and sororities on Ash Avenue and wind around sorority circle. For the past few years, the event was held in a building in order to prevent problems with the weather and to create a safe environment for the children. The location has changed this year to the Memorial Union because it is well known in the community and has many parking spaces. The Sun Room provided the capacity to host the different activities during this event. “Greek Trick or Treat provides us the opportunity to outreach to the Ames community,” said Katy Cran, director of Greek Affairs. “It gives the opportunity for kids and families to have a safe, indoor opportunity for on-campus interaction with students.”

Multicultural student numbers continue to rise By Dakota.Carpenter @iowastatedaily.com Multicultural student enrollment has steadily been increasing over the past several years. Kenyatta Shamburger, director of Multicultural Student Affairs, attributes that to the ISU admissions team’s recruitment efforts. “Iowa State has a good name and a good brand and a good reputation,” Shamburger said. “When things are going well people want to be a part of that.” Iowa State has seen a steady rise in African American or black students since 2010, increasing from 572 to 693, according to the ISU Fact Book. There has been a rise in Hispanic or Latino students and Native Hawai-

ian or students from other Pacific islands. In 2009, there were 770 Hispanic or Latino students and 1,334 the 2013-2014 school year. There were seven Native Hawaiian and students from other Pacific islands in 2009, while there were 29 in 2013-2014. The total number of minority students in 2009 was 2,532. This year there are nearly 4,000. “As students come, they find that there is support for them here,” Shamburger said. There are a number of resources for multicultural students, such as clubs and organizations and the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs. Multicultural students are defined as domestic individuals who were born and raised in the United

States. They choose Iowa State for a number of reasons. Jerrel Ellis, junior in criminal justice, is originally from Texas. Ellis said he chose Iowa State because he was chosen as a recipient of the George Washington Carver Scholarship. This scholarship is a tuition-based scholarship offered by the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs. Ellis said it was easy to get connected at Iowa State and that students care about each other. He described the ISU community as a family. Ellis said he thinks diversity is important to have on campus and began getting involved when he arrived. He is now the president of the Men of Color Collective.

t e k c i t n e d vip Gol

The Men of Color Collective’s goal is to create a safe environment for students of color to discuss their problems within a group. “[Diversity] opens people to different perspectives and views,” Ellis said. “Everyone isn’t from the same place.” Delysea Watson, freshman in agricultural business, said it is important for multicultural students to be involved in clubs and organizations. “It’s not only good to put on a resume,” Watson said. “It expands your horizons. It opens your network to many different people.” Multicultural students can also participate in mentoring programs and greek life. “Being involved on campus gives opportunity

for leadership, growth and development,” Shamburger said. “It also allows you to interact with people that are different than yourself.” Despite the numerous opportunities for involvement for multicultural students, they can still face challenges. One challenge that Watson still believes exists is discrimination. She knows there are some students on campus who may have never been exposed to multicultural students prior to coming to Iowa State. Shamburger said it can be difficult for students walking across campus and not seeing someone who looks like them. Students who have not had that interaction with multicultural students may have preconceived stereo-

types they have created. “There are students who may have never interacted with students of color,” Shamburger said. “There may be things that they say or do that’s offensive.” Watson said she would prefer to answer questions rather than have people make assumptions. Multicultural students bring a variety of interests to campus. Shamburger said these students not only bring diversity but they bring diverse perspectives, intellectual judgment, scholarship and curiosity. “As we think about global citizenship, as we think beyond ourselves anywhere we go, we are going to cross paths with someone that is different than us,” Shamburger said.

ISU Dining leftovers help those in need By Kassi.Manternach @iowastatedaily.com

Kevin Larson/Iowa State Daily

Karen Otto, head cook at Hawthorn Market and Cafe, stands in front of a display that contains food that ISU Dining donates to Food At First, which serves 25,000 meals a year and helps feed 40,000 people through its pantry.

Iowa State has partnered with Food At First in Ames to donate the dining centers’ leftover food. Iowa State has four dining centers, 11 cafes, three convenience stores and a catering service. They serve thousands of students each day and always have leftover food at the end of the day. Food At First is a free meal program and food pantry that serves the community seven days a week. There are no requirements and no questions asked for those who use the services. Most meals served are evening meals, and all are served at First United Methodist Church in downtown Ames. They serve 25,000 meals a year and feed another 40,000 people through the food pantry. The leftovers from Iowa State may be used in their pantry or later that day in their meal program. The program was started by a group of honors students in 2010 said

Nancy Keller, director of Campus Dining Services. The students were the ones who did the research and got connected with Food At First. “By partnering with student organizations it helps us find places to partner with, and students do the research that we might not otherwise have time to do,” said Kent Davis, communications specialist for ISU Dining. Through leftovers from the dining centers, Iowa State donates hundreds of meals each month. A crew of volunteers from Food At First come to the c-stores to pick up food each day and leftovers from ISU Catering twice a week. They also receive the leftovers from home football games and the produce and perishable food items from ISU Dining at the end of semesters. “I don’t know if we’d be able to accomplish what we do without the help of student volunteers,” said Chris Martin, director of Food At First. The ISU Dining is continuing research on how they can do the same type

of partnership with Iowa State’s catering program. They have done some trial runs that have been successful in providing the leftover food from the catering service to Food At First. “We’re looking at baby steps,” Davis said. There are many different organizations across campus that participate in helping Food At First including: ISU Mortar Board, ISU Pre-Med Club, ISU Dairy Science Club, ISU ROTC, CyServe, the Freshman Honors Program, the biochemistry learning community and many others. Iowa State makes huge contributions to Food At First and the people they serve, Martin said. Not only do the leftovers go to Food At First, but there are campus events year-round that benefit the organization as well. “It’s perfectly good food and we’re glad people can use it,” Davis said. “It’s great to have students like this on campus who want to make the world a better place.”

City Council to discuss new Mortensen Road buildings By Molly.Willson @iowastatedaily.com The Ames City Council will be discussing new apartment buildings, street vendors and transportation at its meeting today. The council will be holding a hearing for the approval of three new apartment buildings at 4710 Mortensen Road. These three buildings will be built on the 1.7-acre parcel of land that was recently rezoned from community commercial/residential to floating suburban residential medium-density. The rezoning allows for one-family homes or apartments with up to 10 people to be built. The applicant, Westowne Apartments, is hoping to receive approv-

al for 35 units. These new buildings would hold 115 bedrooms for an average of 3.3 bedrooms per unit. A change in the municipal code for on-street vendors is being proposed due to complaints and issues with language in the ordinance. These changes would include limiting where vendors can set up to allow for a four-foot walkway, limiting the noise level of carts that play music, limiting illuminated signage and allowing for 24-hour-a-day operations. The code changes would include vending carts, vending persons, mobile vending vehicles and sidewalk sales. The current code does not work well for both the city and vendors, warranting the change in code to in-

clude more than definitions. The Heart of Iowa Regional Transit Agency is seeking $2,500 to pay for a facilitator to help meet the demands of the communities that the agency serves. The agency is a door-todoor transit service that runs in Boone, Dallas, Jasper, Madison, Marion, Story and Warren counties. The facilitator would help run conversations between human service agencies and transportation providers about how the agency is working and what can be improved. The two groups hope to make a plan to better accommodate riders. Local bars Score!, London Underground, Southgate Expresse and The Other Place are looking to renew their liquor licenses at the meeting as well.

Bryan Johnson, senior in architecture, carves pumpkins on Oct. 20, 2013 in Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s driveway. The tradition of carving pumpkins originated from an old legend involving a thief, angry townspeople and a deal struck with the devil, something Americans either don’t know or forgot.

Respect Halloween’s history By Madison.Ward @iowastatedaily.com

“O

n Halloween you must beware, for frightful things are everywhere!” All Hallows’ Eve has been around for centuries, but over the years traditional Halloween has become a shadow of its former self. The tradition of Halloween originated as a Celtic festival known as Samhain and was celebrated on Oct. 31 to signify the end of the harvest season in the Gaelic culture. This date was selected because it was believed that it was the day that the dead could mingle with the living. It was thought that people who had passed could come back and cause wide-spread illness and damage to the newly harvested crops before the winter months set in. In order to distract the souls, Celts would burn massive bonfires where they would provide offerings of food or animals and wear masks to keep the spirits at bay. This is also the reason bats are so heavily associated with this spooky holiday. The bonfires would attract large quantities of bugs and therefore cause bats to swarm to try and eat them. Bats are not the only symbol used in modern-day Halloween that is historically rooted. Jack-o’-lanterns were not originally used to decorate houses on

Beggars’ Night. In fact a jack-o’lantern wasn’t even supposed to be made out of a pumpkin. The most common associated legend is centered around a thief named Jack who was being chased by villagers. On his race through town he met the devil. Jack convinced him to turn into a coin so he could pay the villagers for what he had taken. After the devil transformed into the coin, Jack put him in his pocket where he also had a cross. That cross stripped stripped the devil of his powers until Jack agreed to set him free. After the devil promised to never drag his soul to hell, Jack freed him. When Jack died he could not go to heaven because of his poor life choices, and he could also not go to hell because the devil kept his word. The devil tossed Jack an ember from the fires of hell that Jack used it to light a lantern he had carved out of a turnip. He used this lantern to wander the earth for all eternity. Thus he became known as Jack of the Lantern, known today as jack-o’-lantern. Keep in mind this is a legend, but it does shed an entirely new light on the popular Halloween activity of pumpkin carving. This legend also brings to the table the fact that as a culture we have taken what was once considered a very important holiday in Eastern cultures and turned it into a costumewearing, candy-consuming free-for-all.

Scottish and Irish immigrants brought the idea of All Hallows’ Eve to North America during the potato famine. It did not take long for the people of this country to entirely abandon the original meaning. The first recorded reference to wearing costumes and going doorto-door begging for treats was in 1911, but this was never a practice of the original Halloween. The term trick-or-treat was widely known by the 1930s. However, it does slightly resemble the practice of “souling,” which was when the poor would go door-to-door on Hallowmas, Nov. 1 or All Saints’ Day, and pray for the souls of the dead. North Americans took this holistic practice and turned it into a self-serving act of pure gluttony; how very modernAmerica of them. As Americans, we have this uncanny gift for taking things that once meant a great deal to a certain religion or cultural group and glossing over its true meaning, and the same sentiment applies for Halloween. Although children get a thrill consuming pounds of candy, to the horror of their parents, and teenagers use the day as an excuse to dress like a slutty cat, perhaps we should remember what Halloween was originally meant for and why it is we are celebrating this day in the first place. “Hist and hark, draw close and tremble, tis this the night that ghosts assemble.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

People need to fight obesity epidemic By Kensie Noble, senior in kinesiology We need to ensure that our community is fighting against the childhood obesity epidemic and turning our community’s health around. More than 1 in 6 children are obese, and even more are overweight and on their way to obesity. This outrageous number has many negative health implications. From being at a higher risk for diabetes, car-

diovascular disease and cancer to having a higher chance of being an overweight or obese adult, this growing trend has to stop. We must address the problem before it is too late. I ask for community support as we must come together to tackle this issue and strive to make a beneficial change in our society. We need to address the problem presented to us, which is that we are too sedentary. We could greatly improve out eating habits to improve our health and weight.

This is not just a problem for a few. We need to come together as families and friends to become more physically active and promote healthier eating styles. Not only will this be beneficial to those with a higher weight, but it will positively impact everyone’s health. This is a condition that is completely preventable, and I feel it is unacceptable. The data reveals the implications of this problem. Please take the time to look at the data from the Weight Control

Information Network to fully comprehend the seriousness of the issue at hand. Working against childhood obesity will aid in restoring our nation’s health and quality of life. Please contact your local legislator and tell him or her to support policies fighting childhood obesity. If we can all make personal and community changes and encourage others to do the same, we can move mountains. If we are able to fight together, the impact could be monumental.

The annual documents for releasing apartments have started to flood regular and electronic mailboxes across Ames. Leasing companies are beginning to fight for new and old renters due to the increasing population size of the campus area and Ames in general. In a fury to grab the cheapest apartment with as many benefits as possible, it’s important to read the lease that you are signing from beginning to end. There are many problems that can arise during the length of your lease that can get renters into a lot of trouble. College students tend to be more concerned with who is going to be their roommates and how many beers fit in the refrigerator rather than whether or not their contract says they can have pets or how many cars are allowed to be parked in the driveway. Reading the lease is a simple fix for some of the largest questions people have. Getting a fine for having candles lit because you forgot to read your lease is ridiculous. The situation gets trickier when people are moving from one leasing company to another. The most popular time for students to sign their leases the for following year is in the fall, and many months pass between when you sign the lease and when you actually move into your new home. Reading and remembering your move-in dates is important because this ensures that you will not be spending the night, or a couple of nights, on a friend’s couch. Leasing agencies do not all have the same move-in dates. While some leasing agencies will let you move in as soon as your last contract ends not everyone will be so lucky. One of the biggest problems Ames renters have is the argument of when their lease ends. Some contracts within Ames start Aug. 26 and end Aug. 1. If you decide to renew your lease for another year with the same company, you’re able to stay in the same building and apartment without moving out. However, if you want to live in apartment A for one year and move to apartment B a year later, you may be “homeless” for nearly a month. Some renting companies will demand you be moved out by July 31, even if your apartment B contract doesn’t allow you to move in until Aug. 26. Many renters will complain to their leasing companies about the unfair terms. While some may view these clauses within the leases as unfair it is the renter’s responsibility to know what is in each lease, depending on where he or she wants to live. Do not skim through the lease or disregard the fine print because you are excited about living with your friends. It is important for students to know how to choose an apartment based on their needs. If you have a pet and move into a unit that does not allow pets, you have to be responsible enough to set up accommodations with someone to take your pet while you are living in your new place. The same goes for finding out the move-in and move-out dates. It is not your leasing company’s job to hold your hand and find you a place to live when you cannot live in your new place. Read the lease and plan accordingly. Don’t be left out in the summer heat because you got too excited.

Protection improves passing game Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily

Redshirt junior quarterback Sam Richardson rushes the ball during the Homecoming game against Toledo on Oct. 11 at Jack Trice Stadium. Because of increased protection from the offensive line, Richardson has been playing better.

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Sam Richardson is playing some of the best football he’s ever played, and the numbers back it up. Richardson has had back-to-back 300-yard passing games, only the third quarterback in school history to do so at Iowa State. Richardson is also completing over 60 percent of his passes, and he leads the team in rushing. The junior quarterback even broke a school re-

cord earlier this year for the most completions in a single game when he connected with his receivers 37 times against Toledo. “I think he’s grown up,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads. “I think he’s played at a high level, but there is still a ceiling to reach. With a year-and-a-half to go, I’m very excited to see the growth that is going to continue to take place.” A lot of different things have factored into Richardson’s recent success, but Rhoads says that one specific area has had a big impact: the offensive line. “One of the things that

Mark [Mangino] noticed right away about Sam a year ago when he came in was that he was spending more time looking at the defense rushing him than he was the progression of our receivers and the pass game downfield,” Rhoads said. “He’s not having to do that now.” Last season, Richardson sustained an ankle injury in the first week of play. He continued to struggle with injuries throughout the rest of the season and was unable to finish the season. Rhoads said the

growth of the offensive line during the off-season has given Richardson much more time to work through his progression, something he wasn’t fully able to do last year. “He got hit early, and he got hurt early,” Rhoads said. “He started feeling that and moving; more of a flight rather than fight. That was a byproduct of what wasn’t getting done up front.” The offensive line is led by redshirt senior center Tom Farniok. Farniok, along with senior tackle Jacob Gannon, has started at least one

game in the past four years. Farniok also has a team-high 42 starts, which is the third most in the Big 12 among active players. The experience that Farniok brings and that he has with the other linemen is something that he says has really impacted their play this season. “It makes it easier when you know the guy that you’re next to,” Farniok said. “Everyone has got little things that they do a little bit different. “You want that feel for each other, and when you have a consistent core of guys it’s easier to devel-

op that. That’s why we’ve been successful the past two weeks.” And with Oklahoma up next on the schedule Nov. 1, the line, as well as the rest of the team, is focused on confidence. “A big piece of that is confidence,” Rhoads said. “That’s something that we’ve highlighted in the past eight or nine days and will continue to highlight as we go forward. “One of the ways you eliminate any doubt is to have confidence, and we’ve talked about the various ways to gain that confidence as we take the field.”

Rugby club eyes nationals; pushes through injuries By Jack.MacDonald @iowastatedaily.com The ISU Rugby Club, led by a senior duo of captain Ben Sauer and Brandon Bay, is looking to translate last year’s success into this season and make a run at the National Championship tournament. Last year the team made it to the Division 1-AA Round of 16 before losing against Bowling Green University. Malcolm Robertson has been the head coach for more than a decade and has contributed to the team’s

success with his playersfirst mentality and the fact that he treats every player on his team the same way. “I base my goals off of what the players have to say, and I give them the tools and directions necessary to reach that goal,” Robertson said. “We want the whole team to be watched and not just one player because the game is about the 15 men on the field firing with the same mindset.” Until 2008, the team was a member of the Heart of America Conference Division II level and then moved up to the Division I-AA level. While at the

CYCLONE HOCKEY Player of the Week #3 Antti Helanto

Helanto was a major catalyst in Iowa State’s seven-goal first period Saturday night in its eventual 9-0 demolition of Michigan-Dearborn by setting up four goals with the primary assist in the opening frame and then picking up the second assist on a shorthanded goal by Trevlor Lloyd in the second period for an incredible five-point night. The senior defenseman is now fourth in team scoring with 12 points (2-10-12) in 14 games. The Cyclones are at home again this Friday and Saturday night to take on fifth-ranked Ohio in CSCHL regular season action. Both games against the arch-rival Bobcats start at 7:30 p.m.

Division II level, the team qualified for four national championships within a ten-year span. At the Division I level, the team made it to nationals in 2014 for the first time in team history. The team has also qualified for five Big 12 tournaments and made it to the championship match four times, coming away with one Big 12 title. Sauer, who is in his fourth year on the team, expects this year’s team to be much better due to the experience that they gained from last year’s run. He also credited the team’s work ethic, which is rubbing off on the young guys. “As the captain, I am here to tell them they have what it takes to be good and

keep a positive attitude on and off the field at all times,” Sauer said. “I’m here to lead by example and motivate them.” Bay, the team’s vicecaptain, also believes that the group has improved from last year because they know that they are good enough to go all the way with the core of last year’s team returning. Those goals will not be easily realized. The team has had a slump recently

after starting out the season with wins against the University of Iowa and Kansas University. With the team riding the momentum of the hot start, they hit a bump in the road and were defeated by Kansas State and the University of Missouri. In the loss against Kansas State, the team suffered several injuries that hampered its game plan. Similar issues arose in the Missouri game, leading to back-to-

back losses. Despite the injuries and losses, Bay said the team can overcome and still have a successful season. “We believe that the losses have just been [flukes], and they’re not a sign of what the future holds,” Bay said. “We need to get back to the basics, work as a unit and just grind out the little things.” The team’s next game is scheduled to be played in the spring.

Farniok brothers face off one last time By Beau.Berkley @iowastatedaily.com ISU center Tom Farniok hoped his younger brother Derek would come to Iowa State, but when Oklahoma came calling, Tom knew where Derek would be headed. Now a 6-foot-9-inch, 329-pound left tackle for the Sooners (5-2, 2-2 Big 12), Derek has played in all seven games this season as a redshirt junior. He will likely see the field Nov. 1 when Oklahoma plays Iowa State (25, 0-4 Big 12) at Jack Trice Stadium. The brothers Farniok have seen each other on opposing sidelines before, but, in what is Tom’s senior year, this game will be the

final time. “None of us realize how awesome it has been until it’s kind of starting to wind down,” Tom said. “You get to play against [Derek] and [Oklahoma is] as talented of a team as there is, so it’s a great personal challenge.” Tom and Derek, the two oldest of four Farniok brothers, grew up in a football family. Their father Brad played football at St. Cloud State, and an uncle played at South Dakota State. Tom said that of the four brothers, the best may be yet to come. Matt, the third oldest, is a four-star offenisive lineman in the class of 2016 and is already garnering attention from major programs. Iowa State, Iowa, Nebraska and

Minnesota have already set their sights on Matt, and more offers are likely to come. “He’s massive, and he’s unbelievably talented,” Tom said about Matt. “He’s more talented than he knows, but I’ll never tell him that.” Consistency Counts With a bye week following the Oct. 18 Texas game, the ISU defense had time to think about what improvements needed to be made. The consensus? Consistency. “At times we have potential to be a really good defense,” said defensive tackle Mitchell Meyers. “There’s a lot of drives where [Texas] scored quickly on us and then there are some where they’re just

three-and-outs.” Sticking out in the minds of most associated with ISU football will be Texas’ first and final drives. The first drive for the Longhorns took three plays and 55 seconds, and it culminated in a 28-yard touchdown pass. The final drive, which resulted in the game-winning field goal, took only 25 seconds as the Longhorns drove 68 yards. “We gave up far too many deep balls [and] big plays,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads. “We started the game with a miscommunication and didn’t get a gap fit, and we gave them a layup to start the game and allowed the quarterback to get get in a rhythm for how he’s playing, so we’d like to not do that again.”

A spooky procession Show features Halloween-themed designs By Caitlin.Farmer @iowastatedaily.com Models strutting down a candle-lit runway wearing fabulous clothing can only mean one thing - a fashion show. But when the runway is made of dirt, it’s not you’re average fashion show – it’s “The Resurrection”. The Resurrection fashion show took place on Oct. 25 from 8 to 9 p.m. at The Grove clubhouse. Doors opened at 7:30 p.m. and attendees were asked to done their best funeral attire. The show featured garments from Portobello Road and Ti’La Brand, hair by Leedz Salon and makeup by Kaitlyn Stotts, a junior in graphic design. Quentin Silvey directed the show and was assisted by Sam Sullivan, a senior in event management. Both Silvey and Sullivan are employees at The Grove. Silvey, senior in hospitality management, has been working at The Grove for two years and first was inspired to start directing fashion shows after The Grove hosted a show last year. “I fell in love with the crowd and the feel of it,” Silvey said. “It’s something in Ames that people can get excited about.” The Resurrection is the third fashion show this year Silvey has directed. The first one, Fashion Sense, was held in March with the theme inspiration coming from Radiant Orchid, the 2014 Pantone Color of the Year. The second show, Garden Party, was this past summer with a theme based off of plants and greenery. Working alongside Silvey was Talia Jensen, owner of Portobello Road. Silvey contacted Jensen back in March to see if she wanted to be a part of Fashion Sense.

Prior to Fashion Sense, Talia had never done any fashion shows. “I never had a desire to do fashion shows because I don’t design, so I wasn’t sure it was something people wanted to see,” Jensen said. “But Quentin had really cool ideas and he inspired me to start doing shows.” The positive feedback Silvey and Jensen received inspired them to continue putting on seasonal shows. The Resurrection was a Halloween-themed show, but Jensen said they didn’t want it to come off as corny. It had a very somber, dark and creepy tone. “The name of the show was chosen because it’s held close to Halloween, and we wanted to give a good aesthetic for that time of the year,” Jensen said. “But it was also chosen because we’re back again, it’s the resurrection of Portobello Road and The Grove.” The Resurrection fashion show was the first time Ti’La Brand joined Portobello Road on the runway. Tiny Laree Jackson, junior in apparel, merchandising and design, is the designer of Ti’La Brand. Jackson said she likes to incorporate print, color and texture in her designs. Almost all of Jackson’s garments were created specifically for the show. She said she wanted her clothing to be bold, while still keeping it fall colored. “I used a lot of neutral colors like black, white, taupe and camel, and I paired them with bold prints,” Jackson said. During the show, about 20 different looks were featured from Portobello Road and about 15 from Ti’La Brand. Portobello Road’s collection included clothing and accessories that will be featured in the store in the upcoming months.

Creative makeup adds to costume concepts

Scarecrow Materials:

Peach blush Black liquid eyeliner Black pencil eyeliner Fake eyelashes, optional

Lion Materials: By Erin.Dungan @iowastatedaily.com Deciding on a Halloween costume is anything but easy. Many college students find themselves researching costumes months in advance. They struggle to find something reasonably priced, only to find themselves with nothing to wear on the day before Halloween. Why spend money on an outfit you will wear once when you can wear your costume on your face? Below are tips to create a mermaid makeup look under $10. Be sure to check out the attached video for a tutorial showing how to create lion and scarecrow looks.

Mermaid Materials:

Fishnets Shimmer eye shadow Black pencil eyeliner Foundation Fake lashes, optional

Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily

For Halloween this year, try creating these three looks: A mermaid, above, a lion or a scarecrow. While the mermaid tutorial is printed below, be sure to check out the tutorial video for the others on the Daily’s website.

For those who don’t own foundation or eyeliner, local drugstores carry affordable brands. Many also carry eyeshadow, fake lashes and fishnets for under $5 each. Step 1 — Create an even skin tone using foundation. Step 2 — Take the waistband of the fishnets and place on the top of your head. Pull down the fishnets until the waistband reaches right under your nose. Step 3 — Pull the fishnets tight against the sides of your face and begin filling the gaps in the fishnets with the eye shadow to create the illusion of scales. Tip: To ensure the shadow will last throughout the night, consider filling the gaps of the fishnets with a light blue or green eyeliner first so the shadow has

a base to adhere to. Place dark shadows on the outside of your face and gradually add lighter colors. The scales should start around the hairline and move toward the eye area. Step 4 — Apply black eyeliner to the upper water line and fake lashes to the top lashes. Add a fun pink lipstick for contrast! Tip: Put a light coat of black mascara on your real lashes before applying fake lashes to help them blend with the false lashes. To complete the mermaid costume, consider curling your hair and putting on a skirt or dress that complements the colors you’ve applied! Listed below are a few materials and tips to go along with the lion and scarecrow tutorials. Be sure to check out the video!

Black liquid eyeliner Black pencil eyeliner Red lipstick Face highlight White matte eye shadow Liquid foundation in a dark color for contouring Fake eyelashes, optional Fake eyelashes, liquid eyeliner and face highlighter can all be found at local drugstores for under $5 each. Any red lipstick and matte neutral eye shadow will complete this look. Tip: Use a contouring foundation in a shade that is at least three shades darker than your skin tone. Don’t worry, it will get blended. Applying a translucent powder after finishing the makeup will guarantee that it lasts throughout the night. An old brown sweater paired with ears and a tail made out of fabric makes a perfect costume. The fabric can be found at craft stores like Michaels or Hobby Lobby. A quarter or even an eighth of a yard would be enough to make the accessories.

All materials can be found at local drugstores for under $5.

“It’s all about having fun with it,” said Kristin Livingston, junior at Des Moines Area Community College and a veteran actor. “We get the freedom to be creative with scaring people and with your costume.” Nicole Harrison, sophomore in architecture and first-year actor, said it can be difficult to be creative. “You never realize how creative you have to be,” Harrison said. “There are different kinds of scares. A jump scare can scare anyone, and it’s hard to just be creepy and follow people. It’s hard to judge what people are feeling, so I think about what scares me and try that.” Harrison said it often takes practice to perfect a good scare. “We didn’t really know what we were doing the first night,” Harrison said. “If we try something new, it takes a while for it to actually start working. Like tonight, I had to make something work, and it took me hours to figure it out. Once I did, it worked great.” The actors of the Haunted Forest see a completely different side of people who dare travel through the attraction. “It’s hilarious what people will say once they get scared of something,” said Jade Stufflebeam, sophomore in performing arts and first-year actor. “You hear a lot of the same things from people. Like, ‘Is that real? I don’t think that’s real. Oh, geez that’s real!’ Or, ‘That didn’t even scare me,’ right after they jump.” Timothy Bass, freshman in world languages and cultures, has stories as well. “I was working the bridge one night, and I scared a girl so badly that she went through the bars and fell off,” Bass said. “She was okay, but we couldn’t help but laugh.” Beck has also had interesting experiences with

people showing their true natures when they are frightened. “People just do things because their body reacts in a certain way,” Beck said. “There was a couple, and I scared them both, but the guy used his girlfriend as the shield. So scaring brings out something in people that you wouldn’t really know otherwise.” Harrison has also seen some unexpected reactions from people. “We scare people we don’t expect to scare, like the big, bulky fraternity guys,” Harrison said. “When you scare them, that’s really funny. It’s nice to have the easier scares, but when you get someone you weren’t expecting to, that’s really fun.” “We tend to get injured, but I think it’s because we’re more into it than most people,” Harrison said. Stufflebeam said she enjoys what she does at the Haunted Forest. “I’ve made a couple people pee their pants,” Stufflebean said. “It’s just the greatest thing to make people expel some kind of liquid. You know you’re doing a good job when that happens.” Most actors come to the Haunted Forest to work because of friends who had acted in previous years. Beck, Stufflebeam and Harrison are roommates who decided to work the attraction together. “[Beck] told us about it and she forwarded us the email from [Lee],” Harrison said. “We contacted him, and he scheduled us in immediately.” Beck said diversity among the actors is a great way to improve the experience for the participants. “It’s crazy because we all bring something different in,” Beck said. “Most actors here are Iowa State students but not everyone. So that age and background difference is really awesome. I’ve met people here I wouldn’t have met otherwise, so it’s nice to meet all

sorts of different people.” Beck said that although working for a haunted attraction is fun, it can also be dangerous. “There are the people who come in belligerently drunk, and they think that they’re being funny,” Beck said. “I’ve heard stories about [actors] being kicked or punched in the face by those people because they didn’t think it was real. I’ve almost been punched in the face once.” Beck said people react without thinking when they are frightened. “It’s a constant work hazard that some people might actually hurt you because they don’t realize you’re an actual person,” Beck said. “So you have to remind them that you are a person and that could be difficult.” Despite that, Beck said she would be willing to be an actor for the Haunted Forest’s 2015 season. “It’s a fun job, and I really think the more people know about working at a haunted house the better,” Beck said. To be an actor for the Haunted Forest, actors must be at least 18 and have a sense of people’s boundaries. “The main rule is that you can sneak up behind people and scare them, but you have to keep them moving forward into the maze,” Livingston said. It’s about having a good time as well. “It’s a fun time for everyone, even for the people getting scared,” Bass said. The actors at the Haunted Forest encourage anyone brave enough to join the attraction for next Halloween. “You do have to give up most of your weekends in October, but it’s worth it,” Beck said. Harrison said she has enjoyed working for the Ballards. “It’s a really fun experience, and working for the [Ballards] is really a treat,” Harrison said. If you wish to be an ac-

tor for the Haunted Forest for the 2015 season, contact Lee Ballard at 515-2490553. The Haunted Forest is open Thursday through Saturday. Tickets are $13 each. Another haunted house in Ames is right on the ISU campus: Helser’s annual Haunted Helser event is a student-run haunted house that is happening from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. Friday. It is free for anyone to attend. Haunted Helser is partnering with Friley Residence Hall’s Halloween event Frightful Friley. Frightful Friley is a dance that will be held at the residence hall from 10 p.m. until 1:30 a.m. Friday. The Collegiate United Methodist Church and the Wesley Student Center are also hosting a haunted event in honor of Halloween, but it’s unlike anything around. Dr. Fran Kenstyn’s Lab is a live, “escape-the-room” experience. “Your only hope for survival hinges on your group’s ability to solve a series of puzzles which hold the keys to release you,” said Jim Shirbroun, the associate director of Wesley Foundation and campus minister. “Succeed, and you’ll live another day to boast of your immense brain. Fail, and you won’t be needing your brain, if you know what we mean.” The attraction is a fundraiser for the Spring Break mission trip that is funded by the church every year. This year members of the mission trip will be traveling to the Heifer Project Ranch in Perryville, Ark. Tickets are $10 per person or $7 per person in a group of six or more. The maximum group size allowed is 12 people. The lab will be operating Friday and Saturday. However, it may go beyond the Halloween season if there is a demand. Contact Shirbroun via e-mail at jim@cwames.org to reserve tickets.
