Chinese students feel burden By Jake.Dalbey @iowastatedaily.com After the wake of a recent exchange rate increase, the Chinese yuan has become devalued in the United States, causing a stir of questioning among international Chinese students at Iowa State. The exchange rate from the yuan to the dollar was approxi-
mately 6.2 in late July, meaning ¥6.2 is equal to one U.S. dollar. The rate has now increased to about ¥6.37, creating a difference of ¥.17. This number may seem inconsequential, but to some international students from China, this amount is cause for alarm. “In early August, everyone on my Chinese version of Facebook [was] talking about the
exchange rate,” said Hanxiao Hu, president of the Chinese Students and Scholars Association. ”I was panicking a little bit, as well as people I knew and my parents, because we didn’t know if we should transfer our money to the bank before school [in August] or wait until the exchange rate went down.”

Consent is everything Today’s society blurs clear concept
consent

t’s as simple as asking someone if they would like a cup of tea. If they say no, then you don’t pursue it, you don’t coerce them into drinking the tea. If they say yes, then you give them the tea. They consented to the activity. They are not obligated to finish the tea, and they do not have to drink the tea if they change their mind. You
wouldn’t force someone to drink tea. This is the example that Blue Seat Studios posted on YouTube to define consent. It explained that consent is as simple as tea, and that if people can understand when someone does or does not want tea, then they should also be able to understand when someone does or does not want to participate in sexual activities. Blue Seat Studios ended the video with the statement, “Consent is everything.” The video, which aims to simplify and educate others on sexual assault and consent, walks the viewer through different scenarios in which consent must always be understood.

LGBTQ shines light on its community Iowa State hosts Coming Out Week on campus
By Christine.Hopkins @iowastatedaily.com This week commemorates all of the people who have decided to come out or identify with the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer community. “This is really the week to be proud, and for some folks, this is where they finally come out of the closet,” Queer* Graduate Student Association chair and LGBT Student Services Center graduate volunteer Dan Carney said. Coming Out Week at Iowa State leads to National Coming Out Day, which has been celebrated Oct. 11 for nearly 30 years. Nearly 600,000 people on that date in 1987 joined the March on Washington for lesbian and gay rights. The march made themselves visible to not only those in Washington, but to the world. Brad Freihoefer, director of the LGBT Student Services Center, said the center’s staff also works to ensure that people who identify outside the LGBT spectrum are included in the Coming Out Week events. “There are certain nuances in the coming out process for trans

students that we want to keep in mind,” Freihoefer said. “Our staff [is] aware when we talk with students about those things, and [we include] those in the planning process.” Several LGBTQ groups on campus will host events open to the ISU community during the week. The LGBT Faculty and Staff Association (LGBT FSA) will host brown-bag talks, or bring your own lunch, from 12 to 1 p.m. Monday and Wednesday in 1737 Lagomarcino Hall. Nicci Port, chair of LGBT FSA, said these meetings are a
great opportunity for faculty and staff to get involved with the organization. “The whole membership of the FSA is invited to come to the lunch and hear about the things that we’ve done in the last year,” Port said. “We [also] want to talk to them about open leadership positions that we have. So we’re kind of using it as, come out, and then become a leader … don’t just become a member.” Pride Summit, the collection of all of the LGBTQ student groups, LGBT FSA and the LGBT Student Services Center will host a Coming Out Week kickoff event
from 4:30 to 6:15 p.m. Tuesday in room 185 of State Gym. The first part of the event, from 4:15 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., allows students to speak with representatives from the different LGBT groups on campus and learn about their unique missions. Members of a panel will tell their coming out stories and then take questions from 5 to 6:15 p.m. Carney said students with less “politically correct” questions can take this opportunity to ask any question they want without offending the panelists. Three additional organizations on campus will host Coming Out Week events Wednesday. The LGBT Student Services Center will facilitate its regular Safe Zone 101 training from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., which is open to faculty, staff and graduate students. The training will consist of education about LGBT issues and scenario-based examples for participants to work through. Registration is open until Tuesday through the LGBT Student Services Center’s website. Gamma Rho Lambda will host an informational session, “The Rest of the Alphabet: Genderqueer” from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in 232 Carver. This event continues its “Rest of the Alphabet” series about gender and sexual identities. The LGBTA Alliance will have its annual Coming Out Weekthemed meeting from 7:30 to 9
p.m. in 268 Carver, where participants can share their coming out stories in a safe and confidential environment. “There’s something special about being in a room with other LGBTIAQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual, Intersex, Asexual and Queer) folks because that’s sometimes an opportunity you don’t always have,” Carney said. “You might feel as though you’re the only person who identifies that [way] in your lecture hall of 400 people, and to find out that you’re not alone is, I think, the best feeling for students.” The Workspace at the Memorial Union will facilitate a rainbow necklace craft activity from Monday to Sunday. The ISU community can walk in during the Workspace’s open hours during the week to participate. Freihoefer said the goal of the week, highlighted by the kickoff, is to increase awareness about what coming out is and why some people might feel more comfortable coming out than others. “ W e h o p e t ha t th e w e e k brings awareness to [the coming out] journey, which is why we’re doing some of the events like the panel, to give some real-deal experiences,” Freihoefer said.

Walker’s early peak leads to dropout Lack of support forces governor out of campaign By Kaleb.Snyder @iowastatedaily.com It has been two weeks since Scott Walker — the once-frontrunner in Iowa — unexpectedly dropped out of the Republican presidential contest. Many were surprised at his early exit, and some wonder how the Wisconsin governor’s support faded so fast. “Today, I believe that I am being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race so that a positive conservative message can rise to the top of the field,” Walker said during his campaign suspension announcement Sept. 21. “With this in mind, I will suspend my campaign immediately,” he added. “I encourage other Republican presidential candidates to consider doing the same, so that the voters can focus on a limited number of candidates who can offer a positive conservative alternative to the current front-runner.” These are a few of the final words of Scott Walker’s speech from Madison, Wis. Walker was seen as a sure bet throughout most of his campaign to compete to the end for the Republican nomination. Since Feb. 25, Walker never wavered below the top three candidates in the national polls until Aug. 18 when Ben Carson took
over his third-place position, according to an average of polls from Real Clear Politics. It was a steep fall from there for Walker, who was informing the nation that he was suspending his campaign a little more than a month after being fixated in the top three of the race with only .5 percent of support in national polls. Walker’s support in Iowa skyrocketed after he gave a speech in Des Moines in January. He had double-digit poll numbers for months, and at one point, a Quinnipiac poll from mid-February showed him with support from a quarter of likely caucus goers. Walker also spent a large amount of time in the state early on. His first stop after announcing his campaign in Wisconsin was a rally in Davenport. The plan was to visit all 99 counties while traveling in a Winnebago campaign bus. He was in the state the day before he announced he would drop out, and also appeared at the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition on Sept. 19. Walker was also one of four candidates to appear at the Cy-Hawk football game, tailgating in the parking lot and watching the game with a general admission ticket. So did Walker peak in the polls too early? Steffen Schmidt, professor of political science, seems to think so. “He did peak too early,” Schmidt said. “He spoke to a group of people real early on who were perfect for him in terms of po-

sitions and stuff. It was kind of misleading because the group was really enthusiastic and he shot right up in the polls, but there were still other Republican candidates who had different messages that connected better with a broader base of Republicans.” Walker’s national poll points dropped from 9.5 percent to just under 4 percent between the first Republican debate, which took place Aug. 6, and the second debate, which took place Sept. 16. This realization made
the second debate located at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California especially critical for Walker to regain grips on a slipping campaign. Mack Shelley, professor of political science, said he did not believe Walker took advantage of his crucial second debate. “He seemed almost lost,” Shelley said. “He wasn’t asked very much directly and he tried to wedge his way in the conversation occasionally but it sounded like he was trying a little bit
too hard to make a splash. And in the end, he literally looked like a little guy up against a big boy.” The big boy was Donald Trump, Shelley said. Walker finished last in air time by nearly a full minute with 8:29, whereas Trump finished with 18:47 of TV time. But is the emergence of Donald Trump on the national scene solely responsible for Walker’s unusual plummet in the polls? Schmidt thinks that presumption is “silly.” “If Walker was doing
really well and Trump came in, then Walker should have dropped from first place to second or third or fourth,” Schmidt said. “But he went from first place in the polls to almost zero to the end. So the question is why would he drop that far? And it was mostly for other reasons other than Trump.” Walker was not the first candidate to drop out, though. Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry dropped out a few weeks earlier. Even with Walker’s exit, the Republican field remains large with 15 candidates in the race.
Biden his time for 2016 bid By Lissandra.Villa @iowastatedaily.com
Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons Current Vice President Joe Biden has yet to announce whether he will enter the 2016 Presidential race, but super PACs in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina have already offered their support for him.
With or without him, the groundwork for Vice President Joe Biden to make a bid for the Democratic nomination is set. In Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina, the Draft Biden movement, a super PAC urging him to join the race, is setting up infrastructure to catch Biden, should he leap into the race, said Kevin McCarthy, former Iowa House Minority Leader and an Iowa co-chair for Draft Biden. “In this case, we don’t have a candidate, which is somewhat unusual,” McCarthy said. McCarthy said the organization is not ready to disclose its number of volunteers, but when it does, it would surprise people. He also said the organization was looking to add more paid staff. Some of Biden’s supporters are long-time supporters, including state
Rep. Lisa Heddens, DAmes, who supported him when he ran for president in 2008. She has been in touch with him since. “I’m holding off on endorsing anyone else,” Heddens said, adding that she is leaving room for Biden to come to the decision to run on his own. “There is support for him to take that step.” A September interview with Stephen Colbert showed Biden suggesting he may not be ready to run for president. “My own feeling was that, up until just recently, that I was going to hold back and wait until the vice president made a decision,” State Sen. Herman Quirmbach, D-Ames, and a Draft Biden supporter said. “I felt all along that if he got in that I would be supporting him.” Quirmbach said the reason he chose to go public with his support before Biden made a decision came after watching the Colbert appearance. “I just think he is a fab-
ulously talented person,” Quirmbach said. “[He is] just a very genuine, warm decent human being.” Beyond personal support, Quirmbach said others feel that adding another couple of voices on the Democratic side would enrich the debate surrounding the presidential election. Before his role as vice president, Biden, 72, served as a U.S. senator from Delaware. He was elected to serve in the Senate at age 29 and graduated from the University of Delaware and Syracuse Law School, according to the White House website. Biden’s personal life has been plagued with tragedy. His first wife and daughter died in a car accident and his son died from brain cancer in May. In an election cycle where the electorate is longing for candidates who are authentic and genuine, McCarthy said Biden has the potential of standing out.
“He matches Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders in authenticity,” McCarthy said, but he added that he thinks Biden surpasses them in electability. McCarthy said “there is no firm date” by when Biden has to decide whether he will actually run for president, beyond the deadlines to get on individual states’ ballots. He added that getting on ballots is “a very time-consuming, people-consuming process. “The people close to the vice president are looking at the deadlines,” McCarthy said. “They are very aware of them.” McCarthy said if the vice president chooses to run, the ISU community would play a key role in supporting him in Iowa. “We have a lot of undergraduate students, at least, who are for the first time able to vote for the president,” Quirmbach said. “[The election is] an exciting opportunity for our students to get involved in politics.”
Council candidates host public forum
Participants introduce goals for new term By Christie.Smith @iowastatedaily.com
Ames City Council hopefuls participated in a public forum Friday presented by the Ames Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development at the City Church of Ames-Des Moines. The forum allowed the five City Council contenders to outline their platforms and answer questions raised by the public. The forum was hosted by and broadcasted on local radio station KASI. The five participants were Matt Converse and
Bronwyn Beatty-Hansen, at-large candidates; Tim Gartin, an incumbent running unopposed for the 2nd Ward; and Dan DeGeest and incumbent Chris Nelson, 4th Ward candidates. Each of the participants were given two minutes to introduce themselves and their goals for the city of Ames before answering a series of questions prepared by KASI’s Trent Rice and submitted by audience members. Many of the questions focused on growing and expanding business and housing opportunities in the Ames community. “I think [the forum] is an opportunity for people who have specific interests, in this case economic development … to channel questions in a more focused way,” 1st Ward
Councilwoman Gloria Betcher said. Betcher attended the Chamber of Commerce’s forum along with at-large Representative Amber Corrieri and 3rd Ward Councilman Peter Orazem. Corrieri said public forums are a good way to reach out to voters who may not closely follow local politics or do not know some of the candidates. “We would love it if the students were interested in these elections,” said Betcher, who is also an adjunct associate professor at Iowa State. “The Ward 4 and the at-large representatives will have a big impact on what’s happening at the university.” The next open forum is 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8 at the Ames City Hall Council Chambers.

More than horses, racing or competition, the Cyclone Stampede is about one thing: family. “The great thing about these rodeo, kids, is it’s not just a team, it’s a family,” the announcer said at Sunday’s Cyclone Stampede. This year’s Cyclone Stampede is Iowa State’s 53rd annual rodeo and was put on by the ISU Rodeo and Cyclone Stampede clubs. It’s also the last in the nation that is entirely student-run. “We do a lot of promotional stuff for them, but the Stampede — they coordinate that on their own,” said Jennifer Elliott, senior in agricultural and life sciences education and CALS student council president. Along with being in charge of funding and coordinating, the club members are responsible for the physical set-up and teardown of the rodeo. Club members worked from 8 a.m. to late afternoon Friday, setting up gates and fences for the event. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s worth it,” said Ethan
CURRENCY p1 The change these students are referring to most directly affects the tuition cost for them to attend Iowa State. Current out-of-state students can expect to pay upward of $32,390 annually, including room and board, according to the Iowa State Office of Student Financial Aid. This cost is added to travel accommodations and other expenses associated with moving to a new country, often totaling between $5,000 and $10,000. This comes out to about ¥238,174 when converting from the dollar compared with about ¥231,818 in July before the conversion spike. That difference amounts to a little less than $1,000 more per year that international Chinese students are expected to pay in tuition. But tuition isn’t the only expenditure affected by this shift. “I have a credit card that links to my account in China, but it uses the current exchange rate,” Hu said. “So I no longer use [the credit card] because it’s going to end up costing me more money.” For example, a new dorm futon may cost as much as $200, but when

Iowa Central Community College bareback rider Jayston Wright prepares to get on his bronco at the Cyclone Stampede on Saturday. The event hosted colleges from across the Midwest, including a team from Iowa State.
Lantz, junior in agricultural business and Rodeo Club chairman. A second-year member of the club, Lantz was pulled into it by his friends — a story that many members of both the club and audience share. Rachel Pietsch, senior in communication studies, and her friend, Austin Elm, were members of the audience Sunday, cheering on their former classmates from Iowa Central. While Elm referred to himself as a “frequent flyer” at rodeos, Pietsch said she wasn’t really there for the show.
“Seeing Iowa Central is the exciting part,” Pietsch said. More than 50 spectators showed up for Sunday’s show, the third and final this weekend, and they treated each contestant with friendliness and support. Whether a contestant was thrown off in the first few steps or earned the highest score of the weekend, they walked out of the ring to the sound of cheers and applause. Contestants came from colleges from across the Midwest, including a team from Iowa State for
the first time in recent years. “The last few years we haven’t had the interest or funds to do anything,” Lantz said. “This year, we’ve had a lot of interest.” That increase in interest is largely because of the increase in size that occurred this year as well. The club had eight to 10 active members last year, but is now up to 30 this year. “We’re gonna’ have some trouble making sure that we get to know everybody’s name just right and everything,” Lantz said. “By the end of the rodeo, we’ll have it down pretty good.”
taking the yuan exchange rate into account, the price will increase by $5. While this added expense equates to a cup of coffee for some students, Hu said these purchases add up during the school year. ”For a time, the exchange rate was up to almost ¥6.4,” Hu said. “It doesn’t seem like much for a dollar, but when you pay $10,000 to come here, it adds up a lot. “Luckily, I was fortunate enough to have money transferred before the spike, which meant less was taken from the exchange.” John Beghin, ISU professor of economics, said the relative steadiness of the U.S. exchange rate for yuan — about .15 to .16 — puts the U.S. at a slight risk of losing international students to other countries in the near future. Beghin said international students are starting to view countries like Australia and Canada as more appealing locations to study where yuan is worth more. This is in reference to Australia and Canada providing almost .21 to .225 dollars per yuan, a 40 percent increase compared with a U.S. education, which is considered a global export that is worth
almost $8 billion in fees and tuition to the United States, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The number of Chinese students in the United States is expected to reach more than 350,000 in the next three years. “China is not in a recession,” Beghin said. ”[It] just [isn’t] experiencing growth as rapidly [it has been] in the past. If you look at the exchange rate from the past year, it hasn’t moved much at all. “It’s only really changed slightly in the past few months.” China’s current economic wealth allows it to devalue its own currency in order to make eastern
exports seem cheaper and more appealing to western markets, which it believes will help spur growth. ”It’s a political move,” Beghin said. Recent spikes in the yuan exchange are not a new phenomenon. In 2011, the rate was as high as 6.7 but slowly tinkered its way down to a recent low of 6.0 in 2014. Hu said the fluctuating yuan rates are somewhat normal, and it’s how the issue is dealt with and how long the rate lasts that affects students living overseas. “I’d say it will make me more cautious when spending money in the future,” Hu said.

Contraceptives and medication are not sinful. They are safe and effective ways to promote health, safety and general well-being.
New HIV pill not a fix-all Education should promote sensible sexual health By Maddy.Beiwel @iowastatedaily.com
I
n school, we were shown the perfunctory pictures of grossly deformed, rotting, warty, diseased genitalia with the implication that this was what happened if you had sex. Have sex again, and get another more debilitating STD that could ultimately lead to death. This was my sex-ed experience, and the sex education many generations experienced before me, so why hasn’t the way we are taught about sexual health changed with it? Abstinence-only education hinges upon one key point: In order to prevent teen pregnancy and STDs, all that needs to be done is to dissuade youth from having sex or to “Just Say No.” Refuse drugs and sex, not because we’ve given you any valid reasons to, but because we say it’s bad for you. How is that going to resonate with anyone? Teens are going to have sex and they need protection. Removing condoms and education about safer practices isn’t going to stop them, it’s just going to make them start doing it protection-free. Take for example pre-exposure prophylaxis (prEP), an HIV prevention drug to be taken every day by “highrisk individuals.” Truvada, a prEP medicine, has been touted as a wonder drug — take this, have sex and you’ll be fine. Supporters compare it to birth control, in that you have to take it every day and, if you come into contact with HIV-1, you have about a 1 to 9 percent chance of contracting the virus. It is intended only to be a supplement to existing practices to prevent against HIV-1 (condoms and frequent testing) but is instead being used by some as an alternative to condoms. One study found that some high-risk individuals have sex without condoms
regardless of whether or not they have access to prEP. But we can’t just take prEP away because people aren’t being as safe as they should be. The problem exists regardless of people’s reluctance to acknowledge it. Sexual education was first promoted in America in 1892 by the National Education Association as a necessary part of the education of youth. The debate about whether sexual education should be mandatory has lasted more than 100 hundred years with spirited supporters and protesters on both sides. Some of the more vocal opponents have been the supporters of abstinence-only education, which states that sex should never occur before marriage. Supporters claim that early onset sexual activity can lead to numerous ill effects, such as an increase in the likelihood of STDs, pregnancies and “emotional and physical injuries.” This is watering down the issue to the point of infancy. Many of these programs, such as “Operation Keepsake,” which was founded in 1988, are directed at teens and preteens who are unable to make informed decisions for themselves and therefore swallow rhetoric that will either have no impact on them later in life or negatively affect them by making them feel ashamed of their later choices. Abstinence-only education has proven to be ineffective, and possibly damaging. Some studies suggest a correlation between teen pregnancies and abstinence-only sex education. I know that I, at 19, am no where near ready for the responsibilities of a child. Pills, patches, shots, Nuvaring: Dozens of ways are available for women to protect themselves against an unwanted pregnancy, with typically about 90 to 99 percent effectiveness. Birth control in some form or another has been around for thousands of years — some ancient civilizations used lemons and cotton while some women were even advised to drink mercury to prevent pregnancy. Birth control in and of itself has also been a very controversial topic. Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was jailed on obscenity charges in 1916 for open-
ing the first birth control clinic in the country and distributing diaphragms and information on family planning. The front-runner in the “war” on birth control has always been the church, more specifically, the Catholic Church, which still largely contends that birth control is inherently sinful as it disturbs the “natural law.” But studies suggest that 99 percent of women between 15 and 44 years old have used some form of birth control in their lives. Sixty-eight percent of Catholics use a “highly effective” method of birth control, such as the pill or an intrauterine device. I’m not here to bash religion, but some people have been taking this to another degree. Some states have laws explicitly requiring pharmacists to fill any prescription from a doctor despite their own beliefs, while others have laws saying the opposite. In six states, pharmacists can decide whether or not another person can receive an over-the-counter medication. This has led to abortions, discrimination against rape victims and general humiliation for the people who try to make these purchases but are refused. PrEP is by no means a free pass. It’s not a vaccine, so the body does not learn to fight off an infection the same way as it is taught with a vaccine. The pill must be taken every day, or the efficacy decreases. Since it was introduced, a common and disturbing point was raised that PrEP is an alternative to condoms. This opinion was condemned by AIDS Healthcare Foundation President Michael Weinstein when he called Truvada a “party drug” and doesn’t consider it a viable alternative to condoms. While Truvada is highly effective against HIV-1, the user still has to practice safe sex and get tested regularly. Additionally, HIV-1 is far from the only STD in existence and Truvada only protects against initial infection. It can not eradicate it once one it is infected and it is not a replacement for safer sex practices. I don’t care what you do, just be safe and smart about it. You’re worth taking care of.
Texas violates citizens’ law-given rights By Courtney.Carstens @iowastatedaily.com Children are seen as the future of our nation by most people. The future cannot be full of people who are denied access to health care and who are uneducated. That may as well be our nation’s future if we allow Texas to continue denying access for birth certificates to undocumented immigrants’ children who were born on American soil, thus considered American citizens. While I in no way endorse the idea of anchor babies and illegal immigration, which has caused many concerns within our society, I do endorse the idea of upholding the amendments that were supplemented into the U.S. Constitution our founding fathers created more than 200 years ago. Two large civil rights groups, the Texas Civil Rights Project and Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid, sued Texas in May
because it has been denying undocumented immigrants access to the birth certificates of their children, who are legal citizens, according to CNN Senior Latin American Affairs Editor Rafael Romo.The case is still being discussed. The case was re-discussed in August and the groups are now aiding additional plaintiffs. Esther Yu-Hsi Lee, an immigration reporter for Thinkprogress, said the idea of not accepting matrícula consular, an identification card issued by Mexican officials, was raised in 2008 but wasn’t enforced until five years later. Texas counties, including Dallas County — Texas’ second largest county — has been denying undocumented immigrants access to the birth certificates of their children since 2013 on the grounds that the parents didn’t have the proper identification in order to obtain their child’s federal documents. Those particular counties are denying citizens the access to medical care and education. Education and access to
medical care are considered basic rights in our country. Without education, we cannot expect the citizens of the United States to be productive members of society. Without access to medical care, how can we expect our citizens to take an active role in our society? It seems quite odd to me that a good portion of the banking system in the United States will accept the Matrícula Consular card but Texas will not. Not only is this act that Texas is committing wrong and completely unethical, it goes against the 14th Amendment, which states that “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein the reside.” The children of these undocumented immigrants are citizens, and Texas is violating the 14th Amendment by denying the birth certificates to our youngest citizens. The 14th Amendment originated around the beginning of
the Civil War era with the Dred Scott Decision that tried to state that African-Americans were not citizens of our country. It was later added to the amendment that any naturalborn citizen, despite his or her state of servitude, was considered a citizen. The Supreme Court established in 1898 that a child born in the United States to parents who were not citizens was considered a U.S. citizen under jurisdiction of the 14th Amendment. Why would there even be a question of citizenship when it comes to undocumented immigrants’ children? Texas should not have it’s own interpretation of an amedment. It’s not above any other state. Texas is in violation of the 14th Amendment with the fact that these children, who are not receiving their birth certificates, are U.S. citizens under the amendment. If this unconstitutional act is not discontinued, the education and health care of our future may be in ruins.
Candidates should talk student loan debt About $1.2 trillion in outstanding loans, 40 million borrowers all balancing out to roughly $29,000 per person, the numbers say it all: student debt in this country is through the roof, leaving borrowers wondering how those vying for the White House will handle these staggering numbers. But it’s really anyone’s guess because the topic of student debt has yet to be prominently displayed or repeatedly addressed on any of the candidate’s platforms. Data collected in regard to the 2012 election showed that 60 percent of young voters — ages 18 to 29 — either were or had previously been enrolled in college. And of that 60 percent, 71 percent actually attended college classes. This means that students in college are representing more of the youth of America than non-college educated youth. It’s perplexing why candidates working toward 2016 are not putting the issue of college debt among the top issues in America, accompanied by realistic ways to flatline the slippery slope of student debt. Students at Iowa universities are climbing the uphill battle, and presidential candidates need to take note of this. The three major universities are sending their students off into the world with varying amounts of debt, according to the most recent Iowa Board of Regents Annual Financial Aid report. ISU students will leave with an average of $28,880, with the University of Iowa and UNI trailing with only about $25,000 in debt. These numbers are stratospherically high while universities are having to deal with decreased funding on a federal level. Work study awards as well as Pell Grants are dwindling, leaving the universities to impose additional tuition charges on their students. In the end, this is causing students to seek out external loans and only widening the spectrum of student debt. In a nation that implores its young people to seek higher education to emerge with the ability to actively contribute to society, why wouldn’t 2016 presidential candidates actively and realistically address the issue of skyrocketing student debt? This campaign has been highlighted with cheap shots and social media fire, and quite frankly, unnecessarily so. The race for president is one that should be marked by active discussion about real issues facing real Americans, including college students. Leaving the friendly world of university only to be faced with thousands of dollars in debt could lead to a vicious cycle in the job market — trying to find a job fast rather than a job that fits the degree for which you just paid.

Linebacker Willy Harvey takes down a ball carrier with the help from some other teammates. Harvey had his first two sacks of his career in Iowa States 38-13 victory against Kansas.
ISU defense rummages Kansas backfield By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com Linebacker Willie Harvey stood behind the line of scrimmage, waiting for his chance — his chance to strike. He made a quick first move to the middle of the pack, but with the same acceleration he used to start, Harvey jumped to the outside and quickly reached his top speed. His patience earned him a wide-open run at the quarterback, without one offender laying a hand on him before he locked onto Montell Cozart. Harvey draped himself on the quarterback’s shoulders, swinging him around and eventually bringing him to the ground in a heap. “When the time came, I just didn’t move the way they thought I did, and that confused them,” Harvey said. “They didn’t touch me at all.” Harvey’s first sack of his ISU career was just one out of five sacks Iowa State’s defense racked up against Kansas on Saturday. And while the ISU offense, specifically running back Mike Warren, stole the show in Iowa State’s victory, the defense was
almost as impressive. The defense allowed six points in the game, the fewest points the Cyclones have given up since shutting out Kansas in 2013. But Iowa State did all this without forcing a turnover the entire game, pressing Kansas to punt eight times. In the game’s opening drive, the Jayhawks started hot, moving the ball 41 yards to Iowa State’s 25-

yard line. The drive ended in a missed field goal by Kansas, but it looked early like Iowa State was on its heels defensively. “Everybody was rowdy, everybody was trying to do everybody else’s job,” said defensive end Demond Tucker, who had a half sack in the game. “Once the coaches told us to do our assignment, the defense started to come together.” The stop must have sparked something for the ISU defense. After the Jayhawks failed to score, the Cyclones forced them to punt seven times in a row, not including the drive that ended the first half. “We were just lucky they didn’t score,” Tucker said. Although Kansas has one of the worst offenses in college football, it still provided a test for Iowa State. The Cyclones’ newly implemented 3-4 defense lived up to expectations to some extent, allowing 250 yards through the air while nailing down the run, conceding a measly 38 yards. “It allows other to play freely and more free — I like it,” Harvey said. “It allows us to play fast. I do think that it helped a lot because of more movement confusing the linemen.”
The defense didn’t just get sacks in the backfield, it was able to create off-balanced throws and pressure situations by making Cozart move out of his comfort zone. The Cyclones had two official quarterback hurries, but Cozart appeared under pressure for much of the game. ISU head coach Paul Rhoads attributed the influx of defenders in the backfield to the coverage team doing its job. “Pressure on the quarterback is important,” Rhoads said. “Sacking the quarterback is fantastic. Making a quarterback move, shuffle his feet, the end result of that is most likely an errant pass, and you’re going to get incompletions, and you’re going to get yourself off the field. “But our coverage goes along with that pressure. We’re getting sacks because they’re holding the ball a bit longer in the process.” Redshirt junior defensive end Jhaustin Thomas was one of the defenders who consistently made his way to the quarterback, and it paid off for him in the third quarter. Thomas went through the line untouched and earned his first career sack for Iowa State. The sack was just one
Jhaustin Thomas’s first sack
Defensive end Jhaustin Thomas had his first sack Saturday against Kansas, getting to the quarterback untouched. It looked like a far cry from the player that played in limited snaps in early September. “There’s a real difference,” Thomas said. “I remember when I first got here, it was like three plays and I’m tired. Now, I’m I can run all day long.” His first sack seemed to be a big weight lifted offf Thomas’ shoulders. “It felt real good,” Thomas said. “It felt so good. I hadn’t hit the quarterback in a minute.” After his sack, Thomas didn’t have boisterous celebration, but that’s something that he wants to work on. The fan outcry for the “jousting” celebration because of the similarities to his name, is making Thomas consider it despite not knowing what jousting is until Saturday. “What is that?” Thomas said. “I’ll have to look that one up, for real.”
of the many large strides Thomas has made through four games this season. “I think he’s [getting better] earlier,” Rhoads said. “This is just game four, so we’re only a third of the way through the regular season, and I would argue that he’s showed up more in the past two games. … He’s showing up earlier than later.” But what the exceptional defensive performance does for the team on paper and assisting in a win, it does the same for the team’s mentality, specifically a boost in confidence heading into the
meat of Big 12 play. “The confidence it is up no matter who you play in the Big 12, so it’s big for us,” Harvey said. “We needed that win.” At the same time, the defense knows it can improve before it takes on powerhouses like Texas Christian and Baylor. “I look at it like this — we, as a unit as defense, still have a lot of work to do,” Tucker said. “But the work that we have shown so far is all good. “We need to work hard, so the sacks and stuff are going to come because we get the pressure.”
ISU soccer making changes after poor start By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com Changes are likely coming for the ISU soccer team after a disappointing start to Big 12 play. The Cyclones are 0-4 in the conference and have been outscored 13-0. After a promising 1-0 loss to Baylor in which ISU coach Tony Minatta thought his team played well, the Cyclones took a step back by falling to Kansas 4-0 at home. “It’s disappointing,” Minatta said. “I thought we hard-turned the corner on Friday [against Baylor]. We played really well and played a great game, and then today we didn’t.” The Cyclones allowed two goals in the first half and two more in the second half, while the ISU offense was unable to getting anything going. Minatta said changes are on the horizon after the disappointing performance.
“ B a c k t o t h e d r a wing board,” Minatta said.”When we go into Tuesday practice, it will be open competition for starting spots again. And we’ll put the players out there that can give us the best chance.” Bright spots have been few and far between for the Cyclones in the last four games, which featured losses of 5-0, 3-0, 1-0 and 4-0. Minatta, however, sees promise in some of his younger players. He said he will look to them to help get the team back on track going forward. “We got a lot of play out of our younger players, and we’re going to move forward with them,” Minatta said. “They’re definitely showing a lot of competitiveness on the field, a lot of drive and a lot of heart, so we’re going to move forward with those players.” It is likely that some younger players will get an opportunity with Minatta reevaluating starting positions this week.

Big 12 struggles
The Cyclones are now 0-4 in Big 12 play, but their struggles have been even worse than their record shows. Iowa State has only had one competitive game out of those four conferences. The Cyclones lost 5-0 and 3-0 last week, before suffering a close 1-0 loss
needs consistent effort across the board, something it hasn’t had in recent weeks. “We didn’t get consistent effort or performance out of every player,” Minatta said. Minatta isn’t alone in that sentiment. Sophomore defender Sasha Stinson said inconsistent effort on the team seems to be an issue. “I think people just aren’t on the same page and that holds us back a lot,” Stinson said. “Not everybody is working as hard as others, and it really brings us down, and it shows on the field.” As the final minutes ticked away, and the Cyclones were down by four goals, the ISU fans roared in appreciation of Stinson’s continued effort whenever she would touch the ball. Stinson’s effort never waivered, despite her playing all 90 minutes of the game, but her energy was not equaled by all her teammates in the final min-

against Baylor. ISU coach Tony Minatta said that was the best game they played so far in conference play and hoped his team would continue that trend moving forward. That would not be the case, however, as the Cyclones suffered a disappointing 4-0 loss to Kansas.
Minatta was in agreement on that thought and will be looking to shake up the starting lineup this week in hopes of finding some sort of spark. “As a coaching staff,
we need to make sure we’re putting the starting 11 on the field that’s going to start strong and want to be out there and work hard and give us the best chance,” Minatta said.
Struggling in Big 12 play is nothing new for the Cyclones, as they finished up 1-7 in conference play last year. They have yet to score a goal in conference play this season, also struggled offensively last year as they went five straight games in conference play before scoring a goal last year.

DIBLE OVERTIME
ISU win sets up season-defining matchup
By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com When the Cyclones fell to 1-2 in Toledo, Ohio, two weeks ago, it felt as though the season’s trajectory shifted course. Every year brings with it a few pivotal games; an unexpected win, a loss that should have been avoided. Against Toledo, Iowa State pivoted the wrong way. The win over Kansas on Saturday wasn’t enough to right what went wrong in the Glass Bowl, but it was enough to infuse some much needed relief into the Iowa State ranks. “It was absolutely necessary after starting 1-2 in non-conference,” ISU quarterback Sam Richardson said of the victory. “We really have no choice but to start getting a little momentum here and winning some games.” Richardson wasn’t the only player to refer to the matchup against Kansas — in which Iowa State ended up a 20-point favorite before kickoff — as a “must win.” But that would have been true even if Iowa State had defeated Toledo. The goal is a bowl game. It’s a race to six wins. And man, the season looks a lot different at a hypothetical 3-1 than it does right now at 2-2 — especially considering that the Big 12 is shaping up to be a little
better than evaluators expected in the preseason. Texas Christian and Baylor remain undefeated, top-three squads in the AP Poll, while Oklahoma has climbed it’s way into the top 10. And in the only conference in which every team plays every other team, those powerhouses are just the beginning of Iowa State’s troubles. “Every game is tough in this conference. You watch KU as the season goes along, and you watch them give people challenges,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads. “As of today, five [Big 12] teams were in the top 25. The other five can beat folks.” It’s actually four Big 12 teams in the top 25, but close enough. Rhoads is probably being a little too generous in his outlook on Kansas, which had less than a 10 percent statistical probability of defeating Iowa State — and those were the Jayhawks’ rosiest prospects of avoiding an 0-12 year, according to the numbers. But for the rest of the Big 12, Rhoads’ comments hold relatively true. The perfect example is Iowa State’s next test, a road game at Texas Tech — a team that fell only three points shy in the final seconds of knocking off Texas Christian at home nine days ago. The rowdy, Red Raider offense — which handled Arkansas, kept pace with TCU, has averaged 50 points per game through five outings and has an offensive basement thus far of 35 points in a contest — represents the Cyclones’ second pivotal matchup of the season. The difference here is that there’s no Kansas

left on the schedule to help Iowa State rebound if the team falls flat. If the Cyclones go down in Lubbock, Texas, they’ll stay down. But a win that takes the Cyclones to 3-2 will allow hope to persist. Texas on homecoming week is a game Iowa State should be favored to win, especially after the Longhorns were throttled by the Horned Frogs Saturday, 50-7, dropping them to 1-4 on the season. Matchups with No. 21 Oklahoma State at home and Kansas State on the road will likely see Iowa State enter as the underdog, but they are winnable games in which the Cyclones should stringently compete. The key will be what the ISU 3-4 scheme and its athletic components can muster in defense of the end zone against a barreling Red Raider attack. Iowa State tallied five sacks
against Kansas, bringing their season total to 14. Any pressure they can apply to TTU quarterback Patrick Mahomes in terms of sacks, hurried throws or turnovers will prove paramount to the day ending in an ISU win. Momentum would help the cause as well. There might be some to harness after the Kansas game, but it would have been amplified significantly by a 3-1 start. Where Iowa State could scrape some momentum together would be in the proverbial monkeys on the team, and some of its individual players, shed from their shoulders Saturday. The drubbing of Kansas was Richardson’s first Big 12 victory in 16 tries, a surprising statistic for a man who will challenge for the second most passing yards in school history and will likely wrap up his career with more passing
touchdowns than any ISU quarterback to stand under center before him. “Yeah, it’s cool,” Richardson said of his first successful conference venture, audibly sighing beforehand to indicate his disinterest in the question. “Personally, we’re just 1-0 in the Big 12. That’s all I care about.” But however Richardson frames it, the win unquestionably eliminates a layer of pressure from the eight conference games that remain in his collegiate career. Iowa State, which went winless in the Big 12 last season, had to wait only 60 minutes to notch its first conference victory of 2015, and there remains almost no danger of the Cyclones finishing in the Big 12 basement this season with the hapless Jayhawks lying defeated in their rear view mirror. Never under Rhoads — and not for 13 years for that
matter — has Iowa State kicked off its conference slate 1-0. These are all accomplishments to build on, even if they did come against essentially the worst competition the entirety of the Football Bowl Subdivision has to offer. “All focus needs to be on Texas Tech now,” Richardson said. The quarterback was referring to himself and his team, but he may as well have been speaking for all of Cyclone Nation. Upsets occur in college football all the time, but following next Saturday, Iowa State will play the No. 2 and No. 3 teams in the nation in back-to-back weeks. It’s hard to fashion anything but two losses there. A 2-5 start will slam the door on the Cyclones’ bowl aspirations, so as Richardson said, all focus must turn to Texas Tech. The entire season rests in the balance.

Cyclone Hockey sweeps defending champions By Austin.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com There had been 244 days between games, but few days, if any, passed without the thoughts of the next matchup against Central Oklahoma on the minds of Cyclone Hockey players. Cyclone Hockey watched a Central Oklahoma empty-net goal crush its hopes and seal the end of the Cyclones’ season in the quarterfinals of the American Collegiate Hockey Association national tournament in March. Half of a year has passed since last season ended, but from that day until tryouts this season, Central Oklahoma could be heard muttered often throughout the halls and locker rooms of the Ames/ ISU Ice Arena.
The Cyclones played six preseason games and dominated, but weren’t tested. The first real test of the year was on the horizon — Central Oklahoma. The Cyclones traveled to the Arctic Edge Ice Arena in Oklahoma City, Okla., to seek revenge against the Bronchos, the preseason No. 1 team in the country. And that’s exactly what they got, sweeping Central Oklahoma and outscoring the Bronchos 9-5 during the weekend. “I’m extremely proud of the team,” co-captain Cory Sellers said. “[The Artic Edge Ice Arena] is a very tough place to play. They’re a good team, and we battled well.” The Cyclones had their first taste of that revenge after Friday night’s 4-1 win and did what the team wanted to do: beat the defending national champions in their

own arena. But some work still needed to be completed in the second game if Cyclone Hockey wanted to put a cap on the weekend. Freshman Tony Uglem put the first shot through the net for the opening goal in the second game, and Cyclone Hockey was ahead 1-0 after the first period. Jake Uglem, Jake Bruhn and Zack Johnson each added a goal in the second period, and the Cyclones once again took control of the game. “We capitalized on our chances,” Sellers said. “We played five-on-five and got in their zone and scored on those opportunities.” The Cyclones led 4-1 at the start of the third period, and Fairman said he was confident the Cyclones would finish it out like they had the night before. Two Central Oklahoma goals later, and the Bronchos had the momentum with five minutes left in the game, down by just one goal. “[Letting Central Oklahoma back in the game] falls squarely on my shoulders,” Fairman said. “They had extra attackers. We tried cram-
ming things into practice and barely spent time on that. We thought we could get away with it. That’s on me.” In the end, the Bronchos added another goal with seven seconds left in the game, but it arrived after an empty-netter by Tony, and Cyclone Hockey finished the weekend with a sweep of the defending national champions. “It’s awesome beating the team that knocked us out and won it all,” Sellers said. “It’s revenge for the returning guys.” Cyclone Hockey continues to be strong offensively, out-scoring its opponents 44-9 through six games this season. Despite the high level of early season success, Sellers isn’t getting ahead of himself after the first three season series. “We are a good team that is obviously capable of winning any night, but it is early,” Sellers said. “We’re not going to win the national championship right now. We still have a long way to go.” Cyclone Hockey is currently in the midst of arguably the toughest back-to-

back stretch of opponents all season. After beating Central Oklahoma to stay undefeated and improve to 6-0, the Cyclones will face off against undefeated No. 2 Ohio next weekend at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.
“Guys are pleased. We made a statement and we did that nationally. Central Oklahoma is a good team that will be there in the end,” Fairman said. “Next weekend will be just as tough. Ohio will be a great test.”

Iowa State ready to act in case of crisis By Hannah.Postlethwait @iowastatedaily.com Events happen, such as accidents, severe weather, health issues, car accidents and so much more. No one comes to the university expecting to find themselves in crisis; it’s not what they put in the brochure. The associate dean of students said that’s the very nature of crisis. Rather than pretending that’s not true, the university works behind the scenes to make sure students are cared for. An important tool to keep ISU students, faculty and visitors safe is the Student Affairs Crisis Response Manual. The manual goes through a comprehensive revision process every five years, and was due to be updated this summer. The manual is currently in the final stages of editing and will be finalized in the coming weeks. Keith Robinder, associate dean of students, has been in charge of guiding the revision process. “We need a crisis response manual because it provides structure to the university, so that we’re not making things up during the midst of a crisis,” he said. Robinder said the manual is a tool to help staff — throughout the division of Student Affairs — understand their roles and responsibilities when crises occur. It is also a helpful training tool to ensure all staff are ready to respond to crisis. In the manual, a crisis is defined as “a difficult or dangerous situation that has the potential to escalate and requires immediate attention to minimize risk and/ or prevent negative impact on others.” Crises include situations like medical emergencies, mental health issues, civil disturbances, public health emergencies, natural disasters, deceased students and other things of that nature.
CONSENT p1 Lo ri A lle n, ca mp us prevention and outreach advocate for Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support, gave her own definition of consent. “In my definition, consent would be a clear, verbal and continued affirmation or ‘yes’ to the activity that’s taking place right then and now,” Allen said. That definition appears to be hard to understand for Iowa State. A recent campus climate survey revealed that almost 20 percent of ISU female undergraduates have experienced a form of sexual misconduct. This statistic falls in line with the national statistic that 1 in 5 women on college campuses have been sexually assaulted. At Iowa State, 9.7 percent of all students have experienced a form of sexual assault. Sexual misconduct can range from unwanted sexual touching, forcing a victim to perform sexual acts, such as oral sex, penetrating the perpetrator’s body or an attempted or completed rape. Less than 5 percent of completed or attempted rapes against college wom-

Keith Robinder, associate dean of students, said Iowa State needs a crisis response manual because it provides structure to the university, so people do not have to make up things on the go during a crisis. Robinson has been in charge of revising Iowa State’s crisis manual.
“If you think of any significant incident that would really impact students and their ability to succeed at the university, we’ve tried to outline what our plans are,” Robinder said. The updated procedures are less detailed than before. Robinder said keeping it simple is the best way to ensure each response can be individualized. “It’s important to have a plan that you’re ready to act on and provides you guidance to be effective, but isn’t so constraining that you feel like you can’t be responsive to what that particular situation demands,” Robinder said. The principles embedded in the plan are being responsive, being individualized in those responses, putting people’s safety first and working collaboratively to best serve the campus. The manual will now be stored on CyBox. This way, if any changes are made, people still have access to the most current version. CyBox is a place where students and staff can store
and share files for their own use, or share them with others at Iowa State, according to Iowa State’s Information Technology page. Robinder said practices shifted because, overtime, the nature of life has become more complex with things like social media. He said there’s more of an emergent sense to things, so it’s important to be equipped to act faster. “More than anything, best practices evolve,” he said. “What was the best practice three to five years ago is not necessarily what we are doing now. There’s a constant sense of that.” Social media now plays a key role when instructing students in a time of crisis. Robinder said Twitter is currently its most effective channel of communication because it’s able to keep up with the immediacy of crises. The ISU text alert system is also an important tool, but Twitter has proved to be more effective because of its timeliness. Robinder said the text alert system can
take 10 to 15 minutes to get alerts out to students and staff, whereas a tweet can be received instantaneously to the moment it’s posted. But in a time of crisis, both communication strategies would be implemented. Robinder also said Twitter may not always be the most effective channel of communication to the ISU community. “We are still feeling like Twitter is where students are going to for instant updates around crisis and we’re always monitoring to make sure that’s true,” he said, adding that today Student Affairs would use ISU Police and the university’s social media and Twitter accounts to provide information accordingly. Student Affairs has a social media working group that meets monthly, regardless of crises. Robinder said the group is ready to coordinate as needed to produce the best possible response on the best possible communication channel, whether it be Twitter, Instagram or something new.
Sometimes crisis exceeds what Student Affairs can do. Robinder said when something requires immediate action, the plan says to call the police. The ISU Police Department works in unison with Student Affairs to keep Iowa State’s campus safe. In that instance, the police can manage the situation while the division of Student Affairs responds to the people involved. Chief of Police Jerry Stewart said the ISU Police Department keeps a copy of the manual. Student Affairs helps the police, too. The police can call the emergency dean on duty to help deal with family affairs that arise in their work. The emergency dean system is an on-call rotation within a small group of about 10 people from the Dean of Student’s Office. In a moments notice, it’s their responsibility to respond to a police call or drive to the hospital at 3 a.m., whatever it takes to be there for a student. The most frequently
en were reported to law enforcement, according to a national statistic. “I think that the media’s portrayal of campus life and of women, that there is what we call a ‘rape myth culture’ where even though women say no, they really mean yes, or all women sort of fantasize about sort of being violated or taken, and that to them it’s a sexy fantasy. Or that men need sex or at a certain point they can’t stop from the act they’re engaging in,” Allen said. “Those things, I think, all get in the way of consent.” This ‘culture’ becomes promoted through media, such as television commercials, movies and other mainstream tactics. Allen cited a Domino’s Pizza advertisement from 2012 that featured the phrase, “No is The New Yes.” “When we see this thing day in and day out, without even consciously thinking about it, we’re a bit like a sponge and we soak up that information. And so, if we’re a little impaired in our judgment or if we’re maybe trying to justify an impulse or an action, we’re going to say, ‘well, she was dressed like she wanted to have sex’ or ‘he was acting
like he was wanting to have sex,’” Allen said. Allen said consent must always be understood between two partners no matter how long they have been with each other, what they’ve done before or what they are doing. “So, I think that can be confusing that consent is only for this time and this space and even though you may have been together for years and years, you still understand how you’re giving consent to one another,” Allen said. Consent that is blurred through alcohol consumption or assumption creates a greater push for education about consent. YouTube star Laci Green, a sex-education activist, covered consent in her video, “WANNA HAVE SEX CONSENT 101.” Green discussed how ‘hot’ and mandatory consent is. She discussed sexual coercion, “the act of using pressure, alcohol, drugs or force to have sexual contact with someone against his or her will,” and its role in sexual assault and consent. Green further edu cated her viewers on how to ask for consent without making the situation weird or awkward.
Some examples include, “Are you enjoying yourself?” “How does that feel?” and “You look uncomfortable, are you OK?” Green defined consent as “basically just checking in” — paying attention to someone’s body language, how they are doing and keeping the communication open. Green then offered viewers a look into what coercion sounded like, such as, “Come on, I thought you liked me,” or “Just do it for me.” Green also provided three situations in which consent can never happen, even with a verbal yes. These situations included when someone is drunk, when they are underage and when someone holds authority over another. Allen referred to this authority as a contextual concept of privilege. “There are certain areas of privilege where people are more able to get away with behaviors like rape and sexual assault. Those areas tend to be people who have power and control,” Allen said. To summarize, consent is something that must always be asked for and always be given to prevent
sexual assault and misconduct. A website about dating, sex and fostering heathy relationships called

used section in the manual details the administrative procedures for how the university responds when a student is deceased. An average of eight students die per year. Whether the death is accidental, suicidal or because of crime or illness, the university has an immediate crisis response to deal with things like shock, trauma and the sense of “how do I get through this?” The plan provides a high level of operational detail, so the grieving family of a student doesn’t have to navigate the bureaucracy of the university. “We are absolutely concerned about your loss and concerned about how this must be impacting your family, but as it relates to Iowa State University, you don’t have anything to worry about.” Meeso Kim, sophomore in animal science, had a friend at Iowa State die last year. She said the situation was handled quietly, with respect to the student and others. “Because of what I’ve experienced, I know the crisis response manual is important. Things were quiet, and no one panicked. There was obvious structure, and our only concern was supporting each other,” she said. Robinder said all of the key members involved in the manual’s revision process took every opportunity to ask themselves what the best way to respond to crises is and made sure that was reflected in the plan. He hopes students have confidence that the university cares for them. He said Iowa State takes its responsibility of keeping campus safe very seriously. “Care for the individuals involved, teamwork, communication, partnering with external agencies and sensitivity to needs and wishes of those affected are cornerstones to our campus crisis response,” the crisis response manual reads. “I just think everyone is better served with consent,” Allen said. “It makes the experience something that both parties get to fully take part in and enjoy in the way that they want to.” Courtney ClippertTreadwell, outreach coordinator for Student Counseling Services (SCS), outlined resources available to ISU students. “At Student Counseling Services, we provide free and confidential services to our students,” ClippertTreadwell said. “If someone has been sexually assaulted, and aren’t already a client here, we have walk-in hours from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. “We also have crisis services available Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. An on-call counselor will meet with the student that day and will help them get connected with the best resource for their struggles.” She said Student Counseling Services offers short-term individual or group therapy depending on what is the best fit for each individual it helps. It also helps students get in touch with long-term therapists and offers trauma recovery groups.
