Carving a career through pumpkins ISU student Ray Schmidt starts ‘Patches O Pumpkins’

orange vegetable, cutting off its top, emptying it of its seeds and flesh and giving it a face that will be illuminated on the front lawn with a candle.

This experience of making jack-o’-lanterns for Halloween is something that many can connect with and is something that Ray Schmidt saw as a way he could make a profit in 2013 when he was just a sophomore at Iowa State.

“I guess deep down, pumpkins remind me of the nostalgia of childhood, of fall weather, the changing colors on the leaves, just the whole experience kind of embodied into one pumpkin,” Schmidt said.

Schmidt started a business called Patches O Pumkins, a name that he believes captures the light-hearted, fun spirit of his business.

“We’re a fun company,” Schmidt said.

“It’s a start-up, so we take a lot of risks. There’s a lot of fun, lively aspect to it. The name itself, Patches O Pumpkins, you can’t hardly not smile when you say that.”

Multiple Homecoming banners were vandalized on Central Campus last week.

Vandals damage greek banners No direct info reported to police

By Ellen.Bombela and Jean.Linde @iowastatedaily.com At least five of the banners created by chapters within the greek community had been vandalized as of Friday afternoon. The banners were created by sorority and fraternity pairings as a part of Homecoming week.

As of right now, there is no information on who is responsible for the vandalism.

Deputy Chief Carrie Jacobs, who leads investigations with the ISU Police Department, said there has been no direct information reported to ISU PD on the incident.

Jacobs said that if the vandalism would have happened on the property of the sorority or fraternity, then there would have been a report filed, but because it wasn’t, there was no report filed.

Some of the vandalism that was written on the banners included statements about Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE), which is a fraternity that was suspended

Cheerleaders perform a skit while the Iowa State University Cyclone Marching Band kicks off the Friday night pep rally at the Student Alumni Center. The event hyped up Cyclone fans for the football game against Kansas State on Saturday.

Pep rally spreads school spirit Ames, ISU communities rally behind Homecoming Week festivities

By Emily.Hammer and Sarah.Rich @iowastatedaily.com The parking lot behind the Student Alumni Center was soon full of students, alumni and community members showing their Homecoming spirit on Friday evening.

The music booming loud, the pep rally started off calm enough.

A walking taco bar was available to those with Homecoming buttons and several bouncy houses were set up for students to let loose in.

Samantha McCurdy, a senior in design, enjoyed seeing the bouncy

houses set up.

“I like how there’s a lot of stuff both for us and younger children.

It gets a lot of families involved,” McCurdy said.

A huge Cy greeted attendees just before they walked into the center, where an arch of cardinal and gold balloons stood over the stairs. People were able to bid on items in a silent auction as well as shop through clothing and other items available.

Allison Pitz, a senior in marketing, is excited to see the event come together after weeks of coordinating performing groups and their times.

“I’m excited for students, alum-

ni and community members to come out and have fun and see Iowa State traditions,” Pitz said.

Shy of a Dozen, a men’s a capella group, started the night off with their renditions of songs such as “Jessie’s Girl” and “Stacy’s Mom.” Then, the Dance Marathon committee got on stage and danced to a remix of songs before the Iowa State Sparkles Squad cheered for the first time at Iowa State.

As the Sparkles exited the stage, the Iowa State Cheer Squad hyped up the crowd with cheers. After a few cheers, the marching band and color guard joined the squad

After a long and frustrating day, all Nick Herrig wanted to do was go home and have a cold beer.

The realization that he had none in his fridge could have led to despair, but instead led to the creation of the Midwest Beer Club with friend and business partner Mason Cook.

Cook, senior in management, and Herrig, senior in industrial engineering, created a business that will allow people to order personalized boxes of beer to be delivered to their door.

The business, similar to a craft beer-of-the-month club, uses an algorithm the duo created that takes their customers’ unique preferences and matches them to craft beer that the business has on hand from partnerships with local breweries. “[You receive] a unique box of craft beer catered to your preferences,” Cook said.

Cook and Herrig began planning the business about 10 months ago, and have taken advantage of entrepreneurship resources at Iowa State throughout the process.

They have worked with the ISU Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship, have been involved with clubs on campus and have utilized the knowledge and guidance of various ISU professors.

Using these resources has proved beneficial in a variety of

ways, and is something that Cook recommends for other students interested in pursuing entrepreneurship as well.

“If a student is passionate and truly wants to start something, I think they need to take advantage of these programs and resources,” said Diana Wright, marketing and programs director for the ISU Pappajohn Center. “A lot of times, when you’re in the real world it’s a lot harder to navigate.”

ISU PAPPAJOHN CENTER FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP The ISU Pappajohn Center offers academic opportunities such as the Entrepreneurship Scholarship Program, the ISU Entrepreneur Club and a learning community, as well as opportunities to gain work experience in the entrepreneurship field and to participate in programs.

One of these programs, the CYstarters Summer Accelerator, proved especially beneficial for the Midwest Beer Club, Cook said.

The CYstarters program gives students up to $12,000 to fund the creation of their business, as well as provides mentorship and a workspace.

The CEO National Pitch Competition is another opportunity that has been beneficial for the duo. After placing in the top six at the national competition in Tampa, Florida, last weekend, they are the first ISU students to be finalists in the competition.

Actress meets with local Democrats to give outlook

By Robert.Roberson @iowastatedaily.com “Scandal” actress Bellamy Young visited Ames on Saturday to visit with Story County Democrats and outline why she feels Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should be the next president.

Young, who plays a Republican candidate aspiring to become the first woman president, also played First Lady in the ABC drama series.

The actress was introduced by several fellowship workers, and

followed by Iowa State student Emily Tosoni, and Kim Weaver, who is currently running against incumbent Rep. Steve King for Iowa’s 4th District.

“I am here … just to tell you why I’m for [Clinton] and to thank you for what you’re doing,” Young said.

Young shared her feelings on Clinton, starting with her work while First Lady. Young noted her resiliency and ability to love even with the hard work she’s had to do.

Young also wanted to make sure people get out and vote on Elec-

tion Day, claiming that Democrats may show up for the early vote, but Republicans show up for Election Day. Tosoni, who followed Young in speaking, stressed the importance of volunteering.

“I only started volunteering because a class forced me to, but then I got here, I realized … how much I can do,” Tosoni said.

Tosoni joked that people weren’t going to leave without signing up for a volunteer shift.

“When Democrats vote, Democrats win,” Tosoni said.

Members of the Iowa National Heritage Foundation work in natural Iowa prairies to spread seeds and work toward returning the prairies to their original quality throughout the state.

Nonprofit works to return Iowa’s prairies to original stature

By Paige.Anson @iowastatedaily.com As many Iowans are heading indoors to escape the creeping chill of winter this fall, members of the Iowa National Heritage Foundation have been venturing outdoors to harvest seeds from Iowa’s struggling prairie ecosystems.

The Iowa National Heritage Foundation is a nonprofit, statewide organization that has been working to protect native, Iowan prairies because of their unique benefits to a variety of environmental and cultural factors since 1979.

Melanie Louis, a Land Stewardship associate at the organization, has been working this fall with co-workers, landowners and volunteers to harvest prairie seeds in order to help maintain natural prairie landscapes in Iowa.

“Originally, Iowa had about 85 percent native prairie grasses, 30 of Iowa’s 36 million acres of land having been covered by prairie,” Louis said. “Today, Iowa has only .1 percent of the prairie land that it used to.”

Because of this exponential decline in Iowan prairie land, Iowa’s prairies are in dire need of conservation and preservation, Louis said.

“When you look at a prairie, you aren’t just seeing one species or plant,” Louis said. “… We would lose a diversity of species if we didn’t have these ecosystems and landscapes. A variety of insects, animals, birds and specifically butterflies would not exist without them.

A lot of [organisms] are dependent on these prairies, and they are not

National Heritage Foundation “[When brush] has gotten too big, takes place from August until mid- and fire won’t control it anymore, November. Primarily using hand we go in and cut them down,” Louis

said.

In 2015, the Iowa National Heritage Foundation, in partnership with its members, donors, landowners and conservation agencies, protected 49 additional sites and 5,300 acres of land, according to its website.

“We have thousands of projects, a majority of which are now public land that have public access,” Louis said. “Since ‘79 we have permanently protected about 150,000 acres.”

Louis began her journey with the organization after attending its Summer Steward Internship that a professor had recommended. Louis spent about 12 weeks across Iowa helping restore and preserve Iowa land, water and wildlife systems.

“After the internship, it was kind of like a switch in my mind, and it was clear to me,” Louis said. “I knew that restoration was what I wanted to do.”

Since applying for a Land Stewardship Assistant position at the Iowa National Heritage Foundation, a year after graduating college at Central College in Pella, Louis has been working with the organization for about three years.

“Now my title is Land Stewardship Associate,” Louis said. “Basically, me and another partner are doing land restoration on our properties and other [properties].”

Louis said the best way for a person to get involved or to make a difference in the world around them — including prairie preservation — would be for them to get involved in things that interest them,= and work hard toward bettering those things.

“Find something you’re passionate about, go after that,” Louis said. “... Some people don’t discover it until they’re 60. You will make a difference as long as you have the passion behind it.”

“We’ve been developing a lot of new curriculum for students in entrepreneurship,” said Patrick Kreiser, associate professor of management.

Currently the college offers an entrepreneurship minor, which is accessible to students in every college.

“There’s a lot of flexibility in terms of the courses that students can take to tailor it back to their specific area,” he said.

An undergraduate major in entrepreneurship has been implemented this year too, as well as a Ph.D. Program— making ISU one of only eight universities in the country to offer it, Kreiser said.

“I think the vast majority of our students are going to go out and have entrepreneurial careers, so I think that’s going to help prepare them for that,” he said.

Pursuing careers in entrepreneurship has gained a lot of traction recently, he said.

“Students love controlling their own destiny — they love innovation and creativity,” Kreiser said. “Students get really excited about the ability to kind of do their own thing, to be their own person and be their own boss.”

Having a clear vision of what they’re trying to accomplish and having adequate resources are two main obstacles students, as well as any entrepreneur, may face when first starting a business, he said.

Getting involved and taking advantage of the resources will help overcome these, as the Midwest Beer Club has done.

Other Resources There are also various other resources available to entrepreneurs outside of the academic realm.

Cook hopes that raising awareness about them will help others as much as he has been helped.

“I want to make sure that everyone understands that there are all of these opportunities to get involved — through the Pappajohn Center, Small Business Development Center, entrepreneurship club, and even post graduation there’s Startup Factory, Square One ...,” Cook said. “They want to help, and people just don’t know it sometimes.”

Breaking away from the two-party system

By Keegan.Kearney @iowastatedaily.com In an presidential election composed of two of the most controversial candidates in U.S. history, many Americans feel backed into a corner.

Some voters are turning their attention to thirdparty candidates such as Jill Stein of the Green Party, and Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party, hoping to escape the uncomfortable situation of choosing between what they see as a “rock” and what they see as “a hard place.”

Others are still afraid to vote for a third-party candidate in a country that has never seen a thirdparty victory, simply because they don’t want to

Right, Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson.

waste their vote on a losing candidate.

But history shows that voting third party can still make a significant impact on the country.

In the 20th Century, the Socialist party became the most successful third party platform, drawing a large number of votes away from the Democratic

party.

In response, the Democratic party adopted several major tenets of the Socialist party, including women’s suffrage, minimum wage laws and age limits that prevented young children from working in hard labor positions — all of which are ideas that we take for granted today as a part of our moral fabric.

Although third parties may not win major elections, support for these parties can lead to significant social changes.

Aside from the benefits that can arise from public support of alternative par-

ties, some argue that U.S. citizens have a moral obligation to vote for the candidate they believe in, not the candidate they think will win.

By voting for one candidate only out of fear for another, people aren’t telling the government which direction they really think the country should go — which is in essence, the entire point of voting.

According to freepress. org, voters have the power to change the direction of the country if they don’t like the current state of things, and by voting for a candidate who doesn’t support their beliefs, they are giving up that power.

“By voting for a third party, a voter let’s it be known that they are willing to participate, but

didn’t like their options this year,” said David Andersen, assistant professor of political science. “If that is what someone wants to do as a voter, I support it. There is value in doing that.”

But Andersen said that realistically, it is not possible for a third-party candidate to win in our current system.

Andersen said anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t understand how the system works. Given the way that the election system works, the country will either elect Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump in this coming election.

“Elections have real, serious consequences, and I personally feel that votes should be cast with care,” Andersen said.

‘Buddhism for Peace’ searches for internal happiness

By Keegan.Kearney @iowastatedaily.com “Just as the great ocean has one taste, the taste of salt, so also this teaching and discipline has one taste, the taste of liberation.”

These are the words of Siddhartha Gautama, the prince of an ancient kingdom in a region now known as Nepal.

Today, he is known to more than 488 million people worldwide as the Buddha — the “Enlightened One.” Buddhism, an Eastern belief system commonly as-

sociated with bald-headed monks and jolly, heavyset statues, is commonly misunderstood in the West.

Buddhism for Peace is an Iowa State club and an extension of Soka Gakkai International, a worldwide network for practitioners of Nichiren Buddhism and the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, a culmination of Buddha’s writings.

Yu Hui Lui and Gabriel Hicks, founders of Buddhism for Peace, are helping Iowa State students understand what Buddhism really is.

Lui was born into a Buddhist family but was never

truly engaged in the organization of Buddhist religion.

It wasn’t until he experienced Buddhist teachings at a university club that he found that the ideas found in Buddha’s teachings had a profound impact on his life.

Once shy and quiet, Lui is now a teaching assistant for a computer engineering class and the president of Buddhism For Peace, something he might not have done without the renewed sense of confidence he found in himself through Buddhism.

Hicks, born and raised in Des Moines, was never into

the sort of rigid, dogmatically structured faith that most churches in his area offered.

As a teenager, he struggled with many difficult personal obstacles, ultimately falling into drug and alcohol addiction. After an unintentional overdose his first semester at Iowa State, he decided that he had to make some serious changes to the way he was living. It was during this dark time that he was invited to learn about Buddhism from a friend.

After experiencing the teachings of Buddhism, Hicks’ perspective on life

changed drastically. Today, he is completely sober and is working to help others transform their own lives through Buddhism for Peace.

Lui and Hicks founded Buddhism for Peace in the fall of 2015 to help Iowa State students overcome their own obstacles and find their inner potential.This is what the organization refers to as the “Human Revolution” — for people to change the way they view the world in order to bring about true happiness and peace in the world.

Although often considered a religion, those who study

Buddhism say it’s not quite like other faiths.

While most people seek to improve their lives by looking for things outside of themselves like money, material things and acceptance from others, the Buddha taught that the only way to truly be content is to look inward — to let go of those other goals and become happy with oneself.

“This Buddhism is not about praying for something else to happen in your life,” Lui said. “It’s actually trying to transform yourself, within you.”

“As a first-generation college student, I didn’t really know what to do,” Murguia said in reference to applying and getting into college. “TRiO was able to tell me what college was, how it worked, how to apply for FAFSA … all that good stuff.”

Murguia also spoke about her own academic struggles and how TRiO helped her to get out of them.

“At one point I was even on academic probation,” she said. “But I was able to meet with my mentor, and she helped me keep my grades up so I could stay at Iowa State.”

Murguia is now on track to graduate in the spring with a bachelor’s degree in sociology.

Murguia agrees with fellow TRiO participant, Christine-Khai Nguyen, junior in elementary education, that their favorite parts of the program are the free services and supplies.

The TRiO center at Iowa State offers free printing, scanners and a computer lab, which Murguia said she uses the most.

Students at Iowa State have found academic success through TRiO, a program designed to help lowincome and first-generation college students reach graduation.

TRiO is a federally funded program that started in the 1960s as a means to address economic and cultural barriers within higher education. Eligible students across the country, through colleges and universities such as Iowa State, are able to receive services such as tutoring, mentoring and free school supplies.

“People will look at the program and think that it’s a minority program, but it’s actually based upon income,” said Japannah Kellogg, program coordinator for TRiO at Iowa State.

For students to be admitted into the program, they need to be a first-generation student or come from a low-income household.

Students can also receive TRiO services if they have a documented disability.

Students also need to be in good academic standing with their college but do not need to have a certain GPA to be accepted.

The TRiO program at Iowa State strives to help its students mostly through its peer mentoring and liaisons, which are similar to an academic adviser. Students in the program have to meet with their liaison at least twice a semester to address any potential setbacks or obstacles they may face.

“We like our students and program to be proactive rather than reactive,” Kellogg said. “This way we can address problems before they begin and get students the resources they need.”

This has proven to be effective for students such as Griselda Murguia, senior in sociology and current member of TRiO. Murguia is a first-generation college student who started working with TRiO her junior year of high school through the Educational Talent Search program, which aims to help middle and high school students get a college degree.

With the crowd agitated and ready for the pep rally to begin, Matt Campbell and four members of the football team stepped on stage to thank everyone for the support during the season. They asked everyone to come out to their Homecoming game and cheer them on as they battled Kansas State.

Throughout the rest of the pep rally, several sports teams came out to talk to the crowd and ask for support in their homecoming games. The wrestling team earned a lot of cheers from the crowd as they back handspringed and back flipped before pulling a young girl on stage to lead them in a dance.

Cardinal Court was also displayed on stage and Homecoming King, David Moore, and Homecoming Queen, Caitlin Theros, were announced to the crowd.

The final three performances exhibited school spirit by concentrating on the main theme “Leave Your Legacy.” The finalists included the performances “Cyclone Power”, “Our Adventure is UP There” and “I Spy With My Little Cy.” All three focused on the power that school spirit can bring to Iowa State, whether it be from current students, alumni or a combination of the two.

Legacies and traditions are built only with the help of alumni, as all three performances pointed out.

fused, but it was like a controlled chaos. I kind of liked that,” said Niffen.

“This year’s performances were truly filled with school spirit,” said Janice Taylor, mother of one of the students on stage. Taylor said that while she had seen other performances in years past, she thought this year’s competition was one of the best exhibitions of Cyclone spirit. She said that she truly enjoyed this year’s like none other.

“All of them were fantastic, but I may be a bit biased towards one of them,” said Taylor with a smile. “Every year I see the crowd just get bigger and bigger, and I can see why.”

The final performance of the night, “I Spy With My Little Cy” left the audience on the note, “Enjoy your adventure. It’s one you’ll never forget,” reminding students of the impact that partaking in school spirit can have. Each of the performances left a mark on the audience, a legacy, for this year; it will be a tough one to beat in the future.

The skits this year are over, but as an annual competition, the tradition will continue for years to come, giving many students an opportunity to sincerely leave their legacy.

Chris Jorgensen/Iowa State Daily

Columnist Lawson argues that people who write in Bernie Sanders or third-party candidates are wasting their votes and are making a Donald Trump candidacy more likely. Not voting for Hillary Clinton splits the vote for the Democratic Party, while Republicans rally behind a single candidate in Trump.

WRITING IN SANDERS IS VOTING FOR TRUMP Don’t waste vote on an unrealistic election outcome

By Angelica.Lawson @iowastatedaily.com

O

n Nov. 8, our great nation will cast votes for the next president of the United States.

It has come down to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, Republican nominee Donald Trump and third-party candidates. But, to many, Bernie Sanders is still the only choice.

Sanders did not win the nomination from the party, but that has not stopped his truly loyal supporters from banding together to form the “write him in” campaign.

Voting Sanders is voting Trump; not voting is voting Trump. Sanders’ camp was proactive and applied to have him recognized as a valid write-in choice. So on Nov. 8, those who make the ill-advised choice to vote Sanders will be counted, and the Democratic party will once again be divided.

In every election, the stakes are high, and this election is no different.

The question in this presidential race is do we want lackluster Trump, who

has no political experience, running this country or Clinton, who has political experience but has yet to fully win over the people?

Sanders is not a viable candidate anymore. Writing him in is a waste of your vote. He cannot win the majority, and progressives would truly be devastated if Trump won solely because the Democratic party could not come together in the end.

Not voting isn’t an option either. I understand that many may not like either candidate, but not voting is a waste of a person’s right to vote.

There are so many people who cannot vote, as well as countries that do not give their citizens a say in who is in charge. This is a privilege, and you should not waste an opportunity to have your voice heard.

A total of 10 states do not require registration for write-in candidates, and the people behind the various write-in Sanders campaigns are hoping for a Hail Mary that Sanders will receive enough electoral votes to stop Clinton and Trump from receiving enough votes needed to be declared president. If this happens, the 12th Amendment will be invoked, and the House of Representatives will be forced to decide.

This is a best-case scenario for Sanders supporters. Sanders himself has endorsed Clinton and has asked his supporters to do the same. Instead

of spearheading these long-shot campaigns, supporters should be focusing their efforts on campaigning for the candidate on the ballot, the candidate who won the nomination and the candidate who has been endorsed

by Sanders.

This election has undoubtedly been one full of surprises and shock.

This is the future of our country, and we have to come together and support our party. The nominated candidate for the Democratic party is Hillary Clinton. Clinton is who we should be focusing on, and at the very least, we can boil it down to choosing the lesser of two evils.

If you are not a Trump supporter, then Clinton is the only viable option.

There is a message of hope out there for the hard-headed Sanders supporters, but what if there are not enough write-ins to get those electoral votes?

You’ve split the party and have only furthered the Trump agenda. That is not an option. We have to focus efforts on the greater good or, again, the lesser of two evils.

Voting Sanders is voting Trump.

Even with these Hail Mary write-in attempts, it is a very large gamble to hope that Sanders being written in will have enough of an effect to cause the 12th Amendment to be invoked.

Vote for the endorsed candidate and keep our nation out of the hands of Trump.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Show empathy toward fellow ISU students

By Brian Louis Garrido, Senior in Philosophy/Economics I have had a unique relationship with race.

My name is Brian Garrido, and I am a second-generation immigrant. I was born in Orange County, California, to parents originally hailing from the Philippines. Growing up in California shielded me from any explicit notion of racial divides. My classmates, friends and teachers all represented a kaleidoscope of ethnic backgrounds, religious denominations and cultural identities. I never perceived myself as being different simply because everyone else was too.

It would not be until I began my college career 1,800 miles away from home that I would be forced to confront a glaringly obvious part of my identity: I’m not white. As trivial as that may seem, I had never found myself in such an ethnically and culturally homogenous environment

as Iowa State.

Upon arrival, I couldn’t tell you what Hy-Vee was, I hadn’t seen a cornfield in my life and I certainly couldn’t see another student who looked like me in my classes. In fact, at the end of my freshman year, my residence hall floor handed out an award for “token minority” in wry observation of the fact that only three of the 50 students on our floor came from a multicultural background.

Despite the convergence of all these factors, and the shock that came with moving so far away from home for the first time, I adjusted well. I grew to love this university, the faculty, the staff and my fellow students. In the time I’ve been here, I’ve done my best to immerse myself in the Iowa State experience.

I waited hours to see the Cyclones take on Kansas in Hilton, I’ve cheered on the football team through thick and thin (although mostly thin). I love Super Dogs after a night out, and I

never let anyone back home in California confuse us with that other school in Iowa City.

In short: to me, Iowa State University has overwhelmingly been a welcoming institution that I feel proud to be an impending graduate of. However, the signs posted around campus Thursday, along with a few other incidents, have sparked a degree of racial tension that causes me great distress.

I write this not to denounce the misguided actions of a few, but to appeal for thoughtful action on the part of the many.

I hope to ask you to pursue a policy of empathy with your fellow students. Although we are all very different in various ways, we are more similar than appearances suggest. We all aspire to similar things: fulfilling and rewarding work, a chance to pursue our interests, and the opportunity to express ourselves freely and with conviction.

The people who took it upon

themselves to put those signs up seek to fracture our community, and to appeal to the lowest form of tribalism that connotes a world long gone. I ask that you don’t fear an unknown culture, unfamiliar food or even a language barrier. Instead, I challenge you to embrace them, to learn about them and engage with them. You may not always understand or perhaps even like what you find, but I can promise you that you will be bettered for at least having endeavored to try it.

In closing on a personal note, I would like to say that a lot of the people I love are white. I cherish my relationships with everyone and celebrate the unique perspectives that they bring into my life. Life is rife with opportunities to pass judgments on people simply on the basis of stereotypes. However, we can all make a deliberate choice as to whether or not we allow those biases to inform our thoughts and actions.

After the Daily published an article about white “heritage” posters being taken down around campus due to violations of the facilities and ground use policy, we were subject to a barrage of tweets that were misguided about the serious problem with these posters: their implications of white supremacy.

“What’s the crime? Pretty sure advocating for your people is not a crime.”

“Why would that be a police matter?

White ethnocentrism is illegal? Up is down.”

“Why? Are the police saying there’s something wrong with white heritage? #Racists” These tweets seem to be misguided about the real implications and effects that these signs can have. This is not simply “advocating for your people” or “white ethnocentrism” — it is far worse — and thus poses a very real threat.

One does not have to look far to interpret these posters as white supremacy.

One poster read, “In 1950 America was 90 percent white, it is now only 60 percent white. Will you become a minority in your own country?” The United States is not owned by white people. If the author of these posters truly believed that minoritized people – people of color – are treated fairly, as seems to be the rhetoric of those promoting white heritage and white supremacy, then why would it be such a bad thing for white people to become the minority group?

While the posters did not directly call for hatred or violence toward minority groups, their inferences of white supremacy certainly present a threat. White supremacists have carried out countless acts of violence and hatred. If a poster that implies white supremacy, racial tension and erasure of ethnic and racial backgrounds doesn’t deserve a police investigation, then what does?

White people shouldn’t have to feel guilty about being white. Yet to ignore the blatant injustices placed upon people of color, is to ignore the world we live in. Discussions about white privilege are not meant to make white people feel ashamed of their race, but are essential to the dialogue about how we as a society can treat all people fairly, regardless of the color of their skin — something anyone should want.

People of all cultures have every right to be a part of society. Diversity should be celebrated, not shunned.

This campus is home to people of various races and ethnic backgrounds, and we are better because of that.

What’s truly sad about these posters is that the author is missing out on the benefits of diversity. Instead of having an effective dialogue about how all races, white people included, can feel welcome at Iowa State, the author chose to perpetuate divisive rhetoric that furthers tension and hate rather than conversation.

There is nothing intrinsically negative about being a person of color.

What’s ironic is that the author recognizes that minoritized people in the United States are treated differently because of the color of their skin, yet instead of wanting to change this, they chose to further the inequality.

Women’s XC reclaims top spot in Big 12

By Kyle.Heim @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State women’s cross-country team’s breakthrough was only a matter of when, not if.

For the fourth time this season, the Cyclones used a new lineup, a new leader and a new storyline en route to their fifth Big 12 Championship in six years.

Redshirt freshman Grace Gibbons’ second-place performance at the Hawkeye Invitational led the team in its season opener. Senior Perez Rotich was Iowa State’s low scorer at the Roy Griak Invitational on Sept.

24. And redshirt junior Erin Hooker carried the team at the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational on Oct. 14 with

a 14th-place finish.

Saturday, it was sophomore Anne Frisbie’s turn to lead the charge for the Cyclones at the Big 12 Championship in Lubbock, Texas.

A fourth-place finish from Frisbie, combined with a complete team effort in which four Iowa State runners earned AllBig 12 honors, proved to be another step in Iowa State coach Andrea GroveMcDonough’s mission to prove that the team’s 24thplace finish at last season’s NCAA Championship was just a bump in the road.

The Big 12 title was Grove-McDonough’s third in four years at Iowa State, but Saturday’s meant a little more to her than the others.

“When I first got here, many of those athletes were left over from the former coach [Corey Ihmels], the athletes he had recruited,” she said. “So that was challenging to come in, and you kind of feel maybe a little bit less ownership of it than you would have, say, four years down the road.

“Coming off last year and to lose the trophy after that long run we had and to be beaten really soundly last year was just tough to swallow. So to come back and say, ‘Hey, we’re back.’ Iowa State maybe was down, but not out.”

The Iowa State runners are just beginning to peak at the right time.

Grove-McDonough said since the beginning of the season that Frisbie would be one of the team’s top five runners and would be a “huge part of our success in November.”

That’s a lot of pressure for a second-year runner who had only competed in three collegiate cross-country meets entering this season,

The Iowa State women’s cross-country team won its fifth Big 12 Championship in six years Saturday in Lubbock, Texas. Sophomore Anne Frisbie led the way for the Cyclones, finishing fourth overall. The team will next compete at the NCAA Midwest Regional on Nov. 11 in Iowa City.

but Frisbie proved Saturday that the added expectations don’t faze her.

Her fourth-place finish was a 32-spot improvement from last year’s Big 12 meet.

“I feel like I do well with pressure,” Frisbie said earlier this season. “Instead of letting it hurt me, it makes me more motivated.”

Grove-McDonough said in many ways, Frisbie’s performance was the highlight of the day for the Cyclones, and it proved that the team has at least four runners who can lead the team on any given day.

“We had been seeing that in [Frisbie] from the spring,” Grove-McDonough said.

“And so we knew that, and she had a terrific summer, really, really put the miles in and the work in. She came in early season and was really, really fit. “[She] had a little setback, got a little sick, had some iron issues and fatigue issues, so I felt like she responded so well and so maturely to that. We just backed her off and let her get her legs back under her and really felt like we saved the season for her.”

In addition to Frisbie finishing fourth, senior Perez Rotich placed eighth, redshirt junior Bethanie Brown placed ninth and redshirt junior Erin Hooker finished

11th.

“I know that Erin Hooker didn’t have a day that was her best, but she showed us her character and sort of matured,” Grove-McDonough said. “She grinded the whole race, knew she still needed to score, knew we were having a good team race. … And Perez, if she keeps doing better, we all know what [she] is capable of.”

The list goes on. Sophomore Kelly Naumann was the fifth scorer for Iowa State, finishing 24th overall, and Brown quickly rebounded from an 87thplace season debut at the Nuttycombe Wisconsin

Invitational.

But Grove-McDonough still thinks her team has more to give.

Now that the Cyclones have reclaimed the top position in the Big 12, all that’s left is to prove how good they are on a national scale.

“In the past, I’ve wanted to kind of speculate or have a feel for [our potential at nationals], but I really don’t know,” Grove-McDonough said. “And I don’t want to try to figure it out because I think all that will do is limit them. I want to go out there and for us to say, ‘Hey, we have so much upside, who know’s what’s possible on the right day?’”

Iowa State soccer shutout against Kansas in final game of season

By Curran.Mclaughlin @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State soccer (10-7-1, 3-5-1 Big 12) was unable to find the strong finish to the regular season it was looking for when it took on No. 25 Kansas (10-4-4, 5-1-2 Big 12) in Lawrence, Kansas, on Friday.

Iowa State held on until the last five minutes of the game before giving up a goal. Going against the strong Kansas attack proved to be too much for the Cyclones as they fell to the Jayhawks, 1-0.

The Jayhawks out-

matched the Cyclones offensively, taking 28 shots compared to Iowa State’s 10.

Kansas, however, did not make the most of the attack, only forcing goalkeeper Lindsey Hendon to make six saves on the night.

The Cyclone defense played strong for the majority of the game. It made good clears on the ball and forced the Jayhawks to take shots off target.

The Jayhawks scored the game-winning goal after 85 minutes of scoreless play.

Eva Eliasdottir secured the ball in the left corner in front of the net. She made a

hard pass to Katie McClure, who was in front of the goal and covered by an Iowa State defender. McClure put her foot out to deflect the ball straight into the top netting of the goal.

Hendon made an attempt to get her hand on the ball, but being caught off guard and the angle of the shot, the ball couldn’t be saved.

Iowa State will head to the Big 12 Conference Championship tournament Wednesday in Kansas City, Missouri.

The Cyclones will be face the Oklahoma Sooners in the first round after securing the No. 5 seed.

The Iowa State men’s cross-country team forms a pack at the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational on Oct. 14 in Madison, Wisconsin. The Cyclones finished second at the Big 12 Championship on Saturday.

By Mike.Burvee @iowastatedaily.com The men’s cross-country team took to Lubbock, Texas, this weekend, attempting to continue its seasonlong strategy: consistency.

And it worked. The Cyclones took second place at the Big 12 Championships on Saturday morning, coming only behind Oklahoma State.

One thing that made this meet different than any other was the beginning of the race. It began slow and didn’t truly begin until the second half of the race, assistant coach Jeremy Sudbury said.

Combining a narrow track with a slow start resulted in a lot of jostling between runners. What started out as a physical race turned to a tactical one around the 5-kilometer mark.

“Overall, we were pleased with how our guys ran,” Sudbury said. “They each had to run smart and make choices to protect

themselves early on.”

The strategy remained the same: maximize potential and give themselves a chance to finish well down the stretch.

Oklahoma State was the favorite, having won multiple Big 12 Championships in recent years, but beating the Cowboys wasn’t part of the thought process for the Cyclones. The goal coming in was to finish inside the top two to get more points to put toward the national meet.

One other positive for the men was the ability to have an eighth guy get to compete. In most meets this season, only seven were able to run, but for the championships, Iowa State got to add one more.

That eighth guy was Dan Curts.

“We decided to give Curts a chance,” Sudbury said. “Coach [Martin] Smith and I saw that he had gained his strength and endurance and decided to reward him.”

This was Curts’ first official start of the season.

Thomas Pollard was the first Cyclone to cross the finish line, also finishing fourth best among the field.

Two other guys had great races, Josef Andrews and Andrew Jordan.

“Jordan ran really well and finished ninth overall as a true freshman,” Sudbury said. “He was out of it early but he didn’t give up and kept fighting forward.”

The second through sixth positions for the men finished about 20 seconds apart. That type of running and finishing together will benefit the team most in the regional and national meets, Sudbury said.

Prior to the men’s meet, the Iowa State women had their chance to compete as well.

“Coach Smith and I were very impressed with how they ran, cheering them on to victory,” Sudbury said. “They ran tough and came in unafraid. It was awesome to watch.

“Hopefully both the men and women can win a title someday.”

4 takeaways from Iowa State’s 31-26 loss

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State fell to Kansas State at home on Saturday, dropping its Homecoming game 31-26.

Here are the biggest takeaways from the game: 4th Quarter Surprises Iowa State entered the fourth quarter down 31-10.

Many fans expected the game to be over, with some leaving the stadium, and Iowa State handed another disappointing loss.

But, it was far from that.

The Cyclones rallied in the final period of the game, putting up 16 unanswered points and giving the Wildcats a scare.

Iowa State opened up the quarter on a quick twominute touchdown drive and followed it up with a safety several minutes later.

From there, the Cyclones seemed to stall out until quarterback Jacob Park connected with wide receiver Deshaunte Jones for a touchdown with just 51 seconds left in the game.

Iowa State then failed to convert the onside kick, and Kansas State kneeled the ball to end the game.

Kansas State coach Bill Snyder wasn’t happy with how his team finished out the game and said he needs it to learn to play a full game.

“I’m going to have to watch the tape to give an honest answer,” Snyder said on what specifically went wrong in the second half.

“It’s easy to say execution,

but I don’t know if that’s totally the case. I think there were some communication issues, and we didn’t distinctly play well.”

Both Iowa State coach Matt Campbell and wide receiver Allen Lazard were happy with how they were able to compete in the fourth quarter. Their issue, though, was how they started the game.

“We just have to be able to come out and compete all four quarters. We started off very slow in the first half, especially the first quarter,” said Lazard, who finished with eight receptions for 134 yards. “I think we had only one possession the whole quarter. A team like that is very disciplined and very sound in the way they play and possess the ball.

You have to be able to take the lead on them to have the advantage.”

Unusual running game Iowa State knew that the Wildcats boasted one of the best run defenses in the entire league.

But that didn’t matter.

They couldn’t find a way to get past them.

The Cyclones ran for just 154 yards, the majority of

which came in the fourth quarter of the game. Quarterback Joel Lanning led the Cyclones on the ground, carrying the ball 10 times for 74 yards and a touchdown.

Running backs David Montgomery and Mike Warren struggled on the ground all day. Montgomery carried the ball nine times for 39 yards, and Warren six times for 34 yards.

Campbell was asked about Warren’s usage in Saturday’s game, as many fans would expect his number of carries to be significantly higher. Campbell, though, had a very quick response.

“We had a chance to win the football game,” he said.

“Next question.”

Quarterbacks Campbell generally boasts a two-quarterback system that alternates every two drives, more or less. On Saturday, though, his approach was different.

Lanning started out the game and was replaced

by Park a few drives later, as they normally would.

But Park remained in the game for the majority of the second quarter and all of the third quarter. Then

Campbell started intermixing both Park and Lanning, depending on the situation.

Sometimes they would alternate drives. Sometimes they would alternate plays.

“We kind of kept Jacob in because of his efficiency throwing the football,” Campbell said. “Then we started using those guys together, and I think that gave us a little bit of momentum in the second half of the game.”

Park finished the day going 19-of-35 for 301 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw for one interception, which came in the second quarter.

In contrast, Lanning went

just 4-of-7 for 28 yards on the day.

And while it may be confusing not having a set starting quarterback or a set rotation to some, Park said it’s simple.

“We alternate, alternate and then if somebody catches fire, like in the Baylor game Joel stayed in,” Park said. “Tonight, I was throwing the ball good so I stayed in. It’s really just what coach Campbell is feeling like that day.”

On to Oklahoma Iowa State will have to take the field again two days sooner than normal.

The Cyclones will host No. 16 Oklahoma on Thursday

night on an ESPN primetime game.

The short break between games will shift around the Cyclones weekly schedule.

And, coming off of another tough loss, Lazard and Park said they must forget about Saturday’s game and shift their focus almost immediately.

“We don’t get a day off now. Usually we have a day off just to rest our bodies. Now we have a quick turnaround,” Lazard said.

“We have to be able to look through the film that we have from today, and prepare at the same time. Tomorrow should be a fun, chaotic day.”

4 takeaways from ISU intrasquad match

By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State wrestling fans were able to get their first glimpse of the 2016-17 Cyclones on Friday.

Here are the four takeaways from Iowa State’s intrasquad meet.

The freshmen impressed FloWrestling ranked Iowa State’s 2016 recruiting class No. 3 in the nation. At media day on Oct. 18, coach Kevin Jackson said that it should’ve been No. 1 or 2 given how the team performed at Fargo Nationals.

The freshmen didn’t disappoint when they got in front of Iowa State fans for the first time at Lied Recreation Athletic Center.

The first two freshmen to hit the mat were Danny Vega at 125 pounds and Ian Parker at 133 in exhibition matches. Vega wrestled fellow freshman Brenden Baker, and Parker wrestled redshirt freshman Anthony Wesley.

Vega won by technical fall 19-2, while Parker pinned Wesley in the first period.

“I’m really impressed by — from a work ethic sense — Ian Parker and Kanen Storr,” said redshirt senior Gabe Moreno. “They get after it. They don’t need to be yelled at, or a lot of times they’re trying to take a leadership role, even as freshmen. And it’s impressive to see.”

In the Cardinal and Gold matches, Storr wrestled redshirt senior John Meeks in the 141-pound matchup.

Meeks secured the 6-2 win over Storr with a takedown late in the match.

While it wasn’t high scoring, there was a lot of action from both wrestlers. “[Storr brings that high energy] every day,” said assistant coach Angel Escobedo. “The kid never takes the day off. He’s always 100 percent and working the hardest [he can] and bringing up that tempo for the guys.”

The other freshmen to compete were Zemua Baptista at 149 pounds and Samuel Colbray at 197 pounds. Baptista lost to Renaldo Rodriguez-Spencer 7-5, and Colbray pinned No. 19 Marcus Harrington.

Harrington suffered a stinger early in the match, which slowed him down considerably.

Gabe Moreno’s shoulder looked good No. 14 Gabe Moreno wrestled in front of fans for the first time since his season-ending shoulder surgery. He wrestled freshman Briar Cochran in an exhibition match, but fans were still able to see the progress Moreno made.

Moreno beat Cochran by technical fall 15-0.

“It was exciting,” Moreno said. “I felt good being out there in front of some of the fans and showing that I’ve made progress back feels good.”

Moreno began the match with a throw and didn’t stop scoring until the referee blew the whistle.

“Gabe, when he’s on, he can be on,” said Pat

Downey. “He’s got some nasty stuff. He can hit you with quite a few things.”

Moreno said he’ll be a game-time decision when the team travels to South Dakota State on Friday.

“I’ll definitely travel with the team, and we’ll see how it feels, and if they need me.” Moreno said.

“We have some pretty good 141-pounders that’ll do a decent job.”

Pat Downey got to legs No. 6 Pat Downey is known for throwing guys.

On Friday, he showed he could get to legs.

Downey beat redshirt freshman Dale Hilleman

by technical fall 24-9.

“I’ve worked so much on my leg attacks, it’d be a shame to go out there and try to throw the dude the whole time,” Downey said.

“I wouldn’t say [getting to legs] was my goal that match, but I want to incorporate my leg attacks all year. That’s going to make everything easier for me.”

Iowa State has plenty of depth Two out of Iowa State’s three All-Americans had to grind out their wins.

No. 5 Earl Hall won in sudden victory over Nate Boston at 133 pounds, while No. 7 Lelund Weatherspoon

won 2-0 over Carson Powell.

“Two All-Americans grinding to win — that means we’re deep,” Downey said. “If [Leleund Weatherspoon] goes down, we have a good guy in Carson [Powell]. Earl, he’s out the first two matches, I don’t think we’re going to skip a beat with having [Nate] Boston in there at 133 pounds.”

Escobedo, the 2008 National Champion at 125 pounds, works mainly with the lower weights. He’s excited about Boston pushing Hall.

At the same time, Iowa State brought in a 125-pound transfer from

Purdue, John Marmolejo.

He competed against NCAA qualifier Kyle Larson. “[The depth at the lower weights is] amazing,” Escobedo said. “It makes my job a lot easier. They’re just pushing themselves every single day, competing at a high level. When you have that every single day, you’re only going to get better.

“They know that they have a guy behind them that’s looking for his spot, so they’re going to keep pushing really hard to keep that spot. If we can keep that up all year, we’ll have big things coming out of them.”

VANDALISM p1

PUMPKINS p1

from Iowa State in 2015.

“First the posters, now this. So glad all classy people are coming out this week #LeaveYourLegaCY,” Emily Tosoni, junior in political science tweeted.

Delta Gamma’s banner, which it worked on with Delta Zeta, Delta Tau Delta and Lambda Chi Alpha, was among the signs that were vandalized.

“Ours got vandalized twice this week, and we think it was Monday night and Thursday night that the vandalism happened,” said Sarah Martin, sophomore in chemical engineering and one of Delta Gamma’s Homecoming co-chairs.

Martin said it took the group about 20 hours to complete the project and expressed that she was irritated after the first vandalism, where someone wrote ‘Trash Team’ on their banner.

“We know how much time we put into it, so it was really frustrating to see that hard work ruined super easily by someone,” Martin said.

After the first vandalism happened, the group painted over the words.

The second vandalism to the sign read “Still Trash Team” didn’t get as much of a negative response, but instead the group made the best of the situation.

“We turned it into a hashtag, which is #stillltrashteambestteam, so it was kind of a joke,” Martin said. “It wasn’t as frustrating because we made it kind of funny and it’s the end of Homecoming and we’re just kind of over it.”

Martin said Homecoming Central decided that all of the banners that were vandalized would just be put down on the ground so that nobody could see them and that the groups can pick up its banners on Sunday.

The judging for the banner competition is over, and the top three banners will be taken to Jack Trice to show off to the public.

None of the top three banners were vandalized.

finish two more degrees in management and marketing by the end of next semester. With his own business, Schmidt is getting hands-on experience with all three areas of interest.

Patches O Pumpkins also embodies an interest that Schmidt had while growing up on a farm. His father started his own farm, and his entrepreneurial spirit inspired Schmidt to want to create something of his own.

“I really like it because it combines all three areas of interest and talent,” Schmidt said.

Despite enjoying the agricultural and graphic design sides of the business, Schmidt said that the business side is what really intrigues him nowadays.

Schmidt has found it to be satisfying learning by doing.

“It’s an appealing thing, being your own boss and making decisions that affect the whole company,” Schmidt said.

Schmidt had to overcome many challenges when he first started the business. For starters, he found out that he couldn’t grow enough to meet demand and needed to also find ways to build his brand and image in order to gain name recognition.

As seen on the the website, Schmidt used his skills from his graphic design major to create a memorable brand. The business started out in a Friley dorm room in 2013 with the slightly more risqué name of Sexy 7 Pumpkins. The business started by selling predominantly to those living in dorms.

At this time, realizing that the living spaces were smaller, Schmidt made sure to make his product much smaller. As he started to sell to larger student organizations such as Student Council and sororities and fraternities, he began to grow larger pumpkins to meet their needs. The company now produces pumpkins of all sizes.

The business has grown considerably over the past years, going from three employees with one patch in

Pumpkins begin growing in pots before they are transferred to pumpkin patches, where they grow to their mature state. Patches O Pumkins sells all different sizes of pumpkins depending on the customers’ needs.

Iowa to 15 employees, the bulk of which are sale staff, and four patches in Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Patches O Pumpkins now has merchandise such as hats, T-shirts and stickers.

The business partnered with a professional photography studio outside of Ankeny, Iowa, Get Photoed, and hosted a casting call for Iowa State students who wanted to pursue model-

ing.

The selected women posed for photos with pumpkins and in return got free head shots, while Patches O Pumpkins got pictures to promote their business and Get Photoed got potential new business.

The small business also hosts company dinners, where it announces any progress that was made and gives out awards for

employees of the year. This happens during the winter months when all of the labor and the selling is done.

Planting starts in early May, and once Halloween is over, sales for the business drastically drop off. This leaves a large off season for the business. Schmidt uses the time to re-evaluate possible improvements, research different varieties of pumpkins that could

be used in the future and prepare for the next season.

Howard Vanauken, professor in the college of business, said there are four aspects when starting a successful business.

“The entrepreneur must identify an opportunity; the entrepreneur must have the appropriate skill set and willingness to devote the [time needed]. The market must be large enough to support the business. The entrepreneur must be able to access needed resources, such as financing, suppliers, location, etc.,” Vanauken said.

The employees he trusts to manage the patches in other states started out as friends he met as a student at Iowa State. Ryun Hobbs, who manages the patch in Wisconsin and Minnesota, met Schmidt during their freshman year while living in Friley.

Hobbs originally had no agricultural experience and had to learn about production practices and other aspects of agriculture from Schmidt. He now manages two patches on his own during the summer months.

Michael Tupper manages the northern Iowan patch, and before being in business together, he met Schmidt when they were both FFA officers.

Whether he stays with the company and watches it continue to grow for many years to come or if he decides to move on to something different, Schmidt has developed the necessary skills to be successful in business. Schmidt described the experience as having created his own internship and creating an internship for others as well.

For now, Schmidt does not know what the future holds, but he does know that he would like to continue with Patches O Pumpkins by expanding into other specialty crops.

A core value of the company is being involved in the Ames community. The company has done community service and outreach and prides itself on being the main provider of pumpkins to many organizations at Iowa State University and throughout Ames.
