Leath on plane use: ‘I regret all of this’ By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State President Steven Leath said Wednesday he “regrets” his use of university-owned aircraft for both personal and business use because of the negative image he says it has brought to the school. Leath’s comments come after two weeks of revelations that he used two university-owned planes for the mixed use, and in one incident, caused $12,000 in damage after a hard landing at an Illinois airport in July 2015. “I regret all of this,” Leath said

Wednesday during an interview with the Iowa State Daily in his office. “I don’t like to bring any negative image to the university. The fact that there has been all kinds of articles written about this makes me sad.” The use of the school planes has raised questions on if Leath potentially violated Iowa State policy or state law barring the use of university property for personal use. Leath’s plane use was revealed following an Associated Press report on Sept. 23. “There was no attempt to hide this,” Leath said. “If you tell the [flight] tower, the FAA and your boss ... I didn’t think [the incident] was worthy of a press release, but

probably, in hindsight, I should have told more people. But it wasn’t any attempt to hide it, because I did tell a fair number of people.” Leath ultimately reimbursed the school for the use of the plane in accordance to rates set by the ISU Flight Service, he said, but his trips always included a business component. As for the hard landing that caused about $12,000 in damage, Leath said the incident and damage “wasn’t a huge deal” — comparing it to damaging a university-owned car by hitting a deer. “It wasn’t like it was a big complicated fix, and I think that got lost

in all this other stuff,” Leath said. “I told flight services, they processed it just like they would any other minor damage on the plane. I told the FAA, I told the tower, I told [Iowa Board of Regents President] Bruce [Rastetter].” Leath also said the plane sat at the Bloomington, Ill., airport for several weeks because the part that needed to be replaced was backordered. He said that specific trip included a meeting with a “critically important” potential donor, but it fell during the July 4 holiday. He said it was the longest vacation he’s taken since becoming president in 2012, but it still included a big chunk of

work time. “Our policy allows for you to go on business trip and take personal time, but the university pays for the travel portion, not hotels or meals when you’re on personal time,” Leath said. Since the trip included personal time while he flew the school’s plane, he decided to reimburse for the entire trip, Leath said. The AP reported that the rate for reimbursement may have been well under what is typically charged, but Leath said the rate he paid was set by the ISU Flight Service. The AP reported Tuesday that

Regents will review travel, equipment By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com

Emily Blobaum/Iowa State Daily

The Iowa Board of Regents will conduct a review of policies regarding use of equipment and travel at Iowa’s public universities, the board announced Wednesday — almost two weeks after news of Iowa State President Steven Leath’s use of university-owned aircraft. Board of Regents Executive Director Robert Donley said they “will review the policies to ensure they are clear and consistent, and that policies and state law were followed.” The review will “also will certify that existing internal controls are adequate and appropriate,” the statement said. Once the review is complete, findings will be shared with the board. An update of the review will be shared at the Oct. 19-20 meeting. The news of a review comes after questions about Leath’s use of two university-owned, which he used to mix both personal business with official university business. Board of Regents spokesperson Josh Lehman said that Donley thought a review was the right course of action following reports and inquiries received. Regents Chief Audit Executive Todd Stewart and his staff will lead the review.

StuGov passes resolution seeking inquiry By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com and Emily.Barske @iowastatedaily.com Student Government passed a resolution Wednesday night that asks the Iowa Board of Regents to formally look into President Steven Leath’s past and current use of the university aircraft. The resolution follows inquiries surrounding Leath’s use of universityowned aircraft for both personal and business use. Leath apologized to senators on Wednesday, saying he wants to move on from the negativity. The Iowa Board of Regents also announced Wednesday afternoon that it plans to make sure policies are “clear and consistent” and that state law was followed. Sens. Abhijit Patwa, Cody Woodruff, Maria Archevald and Jane Kersch introduced the resolution, which would also urge that the Office of University Counsel release a statement clarifying whether state laws and university polices were violated and that the Division of University Services clarify university policy on the use of the Iowa State’s airplanes. “If President Leath has nothing to hide ... I’m sure he will welcome this

Students share disabilities but are far from disabled By Emily.Blobaum @iowastatedaily.com Paige Maystadt and Lauren Berglund don’t like to dwell on the things they aren’t able to do. “Society and TV and books tell people who are ablebodied to feel sorry for people with disabilities, that those people need to be pitied upon and they have horrible lives,” said Berglund, sophomore in child, adult and family services. “I don’t see myself as broken. This is the way that I am.” Maystadt, junior in animal science, added that she has a disability but is not disabled. “I can still do things,” she said. “I can do most of what other people can do, I just have to do them a different way.” Both Maystadt and Berglund have a lot in common. They’re both from small-town Iowa. They live in Emily Blobaum/Iowa State Daily the same apartment. Paige Maystadt rides a Quarter Horse named Oliver. Maystadt has They each have their been around horses since she was 4 years old. own dogs. And they’re both blind. “[People] expect that blind people can’t do things,” Berglund said. “They don’t realize we can do just about anything we want to.”

HORSE HIGH

Maystadt walks down a dark, dusty horse barn, her guide dog, Charley, by her side and her friend, Brienna Ross, also a junior in animal science, close behind. She takes a deep breath and inhales the scent of hay, manure and leather. “I love the smell of horses. I wish they could make it a perfume,” she said. She turns a corner and approaches Ross’s buckskin Quarter Horse named Oliver. A smile immediately spreads across her face. “I get a horse high every time I’m around them,” Maystadt said. “I get all excited and I’ll start talking really fast and I’ll have a good feeling inside me.” Emily Blobaum/Iowa State Daily Ross hands Maystadt Paige Maystadt kisses Oliver, a Quarter Horse owned by her a brush and she begins friend Brienna Ross.

Maystadt is eager to ride again. She hasn’t been on a horse since mid-August. Maystadt mounts Oliver and they begin to walk in a circle. She smiles again, and it doesn’t leave until she dismounts half an hour later. “It’s a whole different world with horses — they just get you,” she said. “When you get on a horse everything else just melts away.” After she returns home, she puts her hands up to her face and breathes in. “I can sniff my hands five hours later, and they still smell Emily Blobaum/Iowa State Daily like horses.”

SANDERS’ PLEA Chris Jorgensen/Iowa State Daily

Senator encourages voters to look at policy over personality By Chris.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com DES MOINES — S e n . Bernie Sanders urged voters to consider candidates policies over their personalities when choosing the next president during his rally in Iowa Wednesday. The event was held at the Bell Center at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa at 10:30 a.m. Sanders, an independent senator from the state of Vermont, previously ran in the 2016 Democratic primary for presidential nominee, losing to the current nominee Hillary

Clinton. Sanders also took the event as an opportunity to compare and contrast positions he holds to those of Trump and Clinton. Many students from Drake University and the surrounding area were excited to attend the event regardless of if they agreed with Sanders or not. One of these students, Madeline Dwelle, a Drake law, politics and society major, is a Trump supporter but said, “I’m not really necessarily looking to vote for Hillary, but I just wanted to come out and see what Bernie has to say. One thing I did not like

was that he talked about free college, I believe that nothing is free.” College tuition was a central issue to Sanders’ primary campaign. The Vermont senator supported free tuition at all community colleges and public universities, paid for by imposing a tax on Wall Street speculation. After dropping out of the race and endorsing Clinton late this summer, Sanders worked with Clinton to draft plans for progressive college legislation to add to Clinton’s platform. The new plan on Clinton’s website outlines the plan which offers free tu-

ition to all public schools, but for families under an income threshold of $125,000 per year. Sanders addressed college tuition during his speech. Sanders stressed the importance of making higher education affordable, saying that he and Clinton agree that the economy thrives when America has a better educated workforce. “We used to several decades ago have the highest percentage of our people graduating college than any other country on earth. Today that is no longer

CALS Hunger Fight By Andrea.Dahl @iowastatedaily.com Students gathered Wednesday to participate in the third annual CALS Hunger Fight, in an attempt to feed starving people around the globe. The 2016 Hunger Fight, held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Kildee Farm Bureau Pavilion, inspired students in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences to give their time and service to help package meals. The event, organized by Block and Bridle, first partnered with Meals from

the Heartland in 2014, and packaged 64,000 meals with 400 volunteers. Each meal costs 20 cents to make, so the club had to raise about $20,000 to package its goal of 100,000 meals. “I believe the Block and Bridle Hunger Fight is an extremely important event because it allows us to be a part of a greater system,” said Logan Lafrenz, Block and Bridle president. “As students in agriculture, we look to make our careers in an industry who is responsible for feeding the world. “This process helps to build a connection between our careers and the greater

cause that they serve.” The Fight had many sponsors, including Meals from the Heartland, Seaboard Foods, Phil Dornbier Trucking, Kruger Seeds, Derrer Farms and Christensen Farms. With over 500 student volunteers this year, the group managed to package 83,500 meals to be distributed within Iowa and across the world. “It’s always eye-opening to know how many people, even within our own neighborhood, who don’t know where their next meal is

Community addresses concerns with Trans Pacific Partnership By Robert.Roberson @iowastatedaily.com A conversation was started Wednesday about the Trans-Pacific Partnership during an event at Torrent Brewing Company in Ames. The event featured Larry Cohen as the main speaker and was sponsored by CCI Action, Our Revolution and CWA Iowa State Council. Cohen is the chair of the board for Our Revolution, a group formed by Sen. Bernie Sanders to empower the next generation of progressive leaders. Cohen talked about how he and many others are fed up with multinational corporations. He claims that the TPP would make companies send their production where there is little to no environmental regulations, making it cheaper. While Cohen is not a fan of Donald Trump, he agrees with him on the claim that TPP is similar to NAFTA. Although this is true, he believes Hillary Clinton is saying some of the same things. During the question and answer he was asked about why family farmers

shouldn’t like this. “Just like we need to grow things, we need to make things as well,” Cohen said, furthering his claim that this would send jobs away and reduce made-in-America products. Deborah Bunka, member of CCI and Iowa Farmers Union membership coordinator, introduced Cohen to the small crowd of about 20 people. Bunka made the argument that it’s the right of citizens versus the right of corporations. Kim Weaver, Democratic candidate for Iowa’s 4th Congressional District who is running against Republi-

can incumbent Steve King for his seat in the House, doesn’t support TPP. “If our laws go against their profits, they can sue us,” Weaver said. Weaver also claimed that there has been very little transparency and said the results could be catastrophic to the U.S. economy. Aaron O’Neill, senior in journalism and mass commuication, is against it because he wants to keep as many jobs in the United States as possible and thinks people against TPP should use social media. He also said national and local media could be more focused on the issue.

Jim Collins, executive vice president at DuPont, gives this year’s CALS Leadership lecture Wednesday.

DuPontVP shares ideas By Mikaela.Simpson @iowastatedaily.com

Most college students strive to stand out from the crowd to make themselves more employable. At Wednesday night’s lecture, Jim Collins, executive vice president of DuPont, shared some of his experiences and ideas that could help them get ahead of the game. He talked about a concept that many people often dismiss as a cliche: rising to the occasion. Leadership opportunities present

themselves constantly, but the only way someone will amount to any type of leader is through personal initiative. People have to figure out what kind of leader they want to be. Collins drew on personal experience to explain that those opportunities don’t usually give people a lot of time to think about how they are going to lead. It is often a decision people have to make in a split second, and making a decision to focus on the good things in a bad situation can lead to becoming

a stronger leader. Collins stressed the importance of preparing future leaders in agriculture and how college students can do this. “You will learn more from tough assignments than the easy ones,” Collins said. People who prove good leadership skills during times when companies need help will make them want to reward people with simpler tasks in the end. Being passionate about what a person does often leads to them working harder.

Avid readers connect in new club By Lindsey.Davis @iowastatedaily.com Book enthusiasts, rejoice. A Novel Idea, Iowa State’s on-campus, social book club, offers avid readers a chance to connect with others who are just as passionate about reading. The group meets the first Wednesday of every month from 6 to 7 p.m. in Ross Hall and is open to all majors.

Caitlin Billek, senior in kinesiology, created the club last March after she found out that Iowa State didn’t yet have a student book club. “The book club’s purpose is to bring together people who have a love for reading [and to give them] a way to express that love,” Billek said. Dues are $10 per member each semester, as stated in the book club’s constitution, and go toward the purchasing of

novels. The social book club received funding from Student Government last month, and the money also will be used to buy books. During meetings, the group discusses the book it read during the previous month and raises questions from the reading. “[We read] all kinds of books. I want to accommodate everyone’s interests,” Billek said.

In the event Donald Trump becomes president, he believes the Federal Reserve will purposefully raise interest rates quickly, causing economic downturn.

WRONG

ABOUT FEDERAL RESERVE Fed’s reasonings for raising interest rates aren’t political By Nolan.Wright @iowastatedaily.com

he Federal Reserve of the United States is not meant for the spotlight. Compared to it, other departments seem highly personal, theatrical even. Donald Trump wants to change that. For the last few weeks, he’s been alleging that the Fed is more than impersonal, that it is biased and isn’t acting in America’s best interests. In the first presidential debate, Trump reaffirmed this, claiming that the Fed, specifically its chair, Janet Yellen, is creating an investment bubble, keeping rates on government loans low, motivating banks to borrow more, a pattern Trump claims can’t be maintained. Eventually, he argues, the Fed will be forced to raise rates, causing investments to plummet, leading to a spike in unemployment and rampant deflation. He suspects it’s doing this for political reasons, to make Democratic policies look more effective, thus securing Hillary Clinton for the presidency. In the event that he wins the presidency, Trump said the Fed will purposefully raise interest rates quickly, causing massive economic downturn. Looking at past interest rates, it may seem like Trump is right. Rates were

last raised in December, by a quarter of a percent. Before then, rates hadn’t been raised since 2006. Going an entire year without changing rates is unprecedented. Going 10 years without raising is inconceivable. Rates have also been half of a percent for nearly a year now. Before 2000, they never went below 3 percent and were well into the double digits for much of the ‘80s. But this approach is the same throughout Europe and Asia. It’s the necessary response to a slow, stable economy. Right now, inflation is just under 2 percent, the Fed’s target. In the ‘80s, inflation hit 14 percent and was volatile. Trump has another distorted case of accuracy. The Fed promised this summer that we could expect two rate hikes by the end of the year. That’s not likely anymore. This is because the Federal Reserve rarely changes rates during an election. It has a firm, unofficial policy of not impacting the economy to favor either candidate. This policy long precedes accusations of bias. In 1992, during the election between George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, the Fed changed its rate three times. Like 2016, it occurred during a slow recovery that the government was struggling to accelerate. At that point, the Fed’s chair was Alan Greenspan, a Republican. Clinton was attributing the slow recovery to Bush, a tactic largely credited with helping his victory. In early 1992, inflation hung around 2 percent. Although a healthy number today, the economy wasn’t ready for such rates, and unemployment

rose through the first half of 1992, not reversing until June, at nearly 8 percent. In 1991, it lowered the rate nine times and showed no signs of stopping. From August to November, when the Fed lowered rates monthly, unemployment slowed and seemed like it was about to turn around. As the election loomed nearer, however, the Fed grew timid. Greenspan started repeating that the Federal Open Market Committee was putting bias toward neutrality over policy. Although unemployment accelerated, the Fed held off lowering rates for four months. In June, it significantly lowered rates, with immediate results. The relevance of 1992 is this. It shows that the Federal Reserve has always leaned toward inaction during elections. If it’s influenced elections at all, then it has both ways. The views of the Fed’s chair don’t affect policies, thanks to a diverse, rotating committee. But this highlights a need for reform. The kind of fear of political involvement that Trump encourages needs to be minimized. It’s doubtful that 1992 would have been completely different if the Fed had felt no bias toward neutrality, and Yellen is certainly not going to let an unelected official influence policy. But pressure on the Fed, however small, is problematic. The Federal Reserve can’t restrain itself. It must be truly apolitical, but trying to separate from the public eye is the wrong way to go. The Fed, and maybe more so the voting public, need to recognize that it must make choices regardless of how public opinion will change.

Men face social injustice on a daily basis By Jazz.Niehaus @iowastatedaily.com Social media has been an outlet for change a lot within the last seven years. Whether it be The Facebook Revolution, #BlackLivesMatter or #SayHerName, social movements have been making leaps and bounds through the internet. A common buzzword recently, especially within the world of Twitter and Tumblr, is feminism. With that being said, a new group of people have emerged through Twitter known as meninists. Although much of the account can be acknowledged as satire, there are enough men taking it serious and enough feminists feeling offended to drive a person batty. Much of the account makes fun of what it calls “feminazis,” a derogatory term for extreme feminists. Much of the account focuses on sexist jokes such as “I saw my waitress had a black eye, so I ordered really slow, because she obviously doesn’t listen” and “The only time I miss my ex is when I swing and she ducks.” Undoubtedly, this just adds

fuel to the fire when it comes to feminism in the media. In the heat of a millennial uprising, would it be crazy for me, a feminist, to claim that there just may be a societal need for meninists? Would you call me crazy if I told that I could support a meninist movement? As a woman living in American society, I can easily get stuck on the facts of my own injustice. I will face a wage gap. I have a 1 in 6 chance of being raped at some point in my life. Only 17 percent of seats in congress are held by women. But whether society wants to accept it, men too face social injustice every day. A woman is more likely to win in a child custody case. Men are shamed and persecuted for showing their feelings. Men often feel illegitimized when reporting sexual assault cases against them. Safehouses are tailored to women and children. Many homeless shelters do not allow men to stay overnight — These are extraordinary reasons for a rise in meninism. As an entirety, men are often thought to be the most privileged group of people. That

Feedback on proposed MU renovations is necessary Editor’s Note: On Sept. 26, the editorial board heard a presentation about proposed recommendations to enhance the Memorial Union from the Memorial Union’s interim director, Corey Williamson, and student board of directors member, Michael Snook. This is the editorial board’s recommendations based on their presentation. Iowa State’s Memorial Union is a place for the entire ISU community. It honors fallen veterans and has dining options, event venues, multiple office spaces, multicultural and international student resources, housing and many other services. The Memorial Union is part of students’ experience from their first campus visit, through their entire time at Iowa State and graduation breakfast. After celebrating its 88th birthday this year, it’s time we think about how we can improve the Memorial Union to suit our current and future needs. The first recorded mention of a union was in an editorial by the Iowa State Student (now the Iowa State Daily) in 1914, according to a book documenting the history of the Memorial Union by its first director, Colonel Harold Pride. Now coming full circle, we as the current ISD Editorial Board encourage members of the Iowa State community to offer feedback on proposed changes to upgrade the Memorial Union. In their presentation on the Memorial Union Feasibility Study Update to the editorial board, Corey Williamson and Michael Snook mentioned the following recommendations, among others, to improve the Memorial Union: • Offer more dining seating options • Improve and expand student organization and activity spaces • Reorganize offices to make certain ones, such as ISSO, more accessible to students based on their location in the building • Enhance the multicultural student space and resources • Expand space for Veteran’s Center • Discontinue the hotel operations • Discontinue the bowling operations Part of their recommendations include renovations, as well as a 24,000-square-foot four-level addition on the North East side of the building, which at the time of the feasibility study would cost $55.5 million. While no plans have been made, the costs will likely be covered by fundraising and student fees. The editorial board believes that all of these changes are important, well reasoned and will enhance the ISU community experience on campus by providing services from the basics of a place to eat to creating a more welcoming environment on campus. That being said, we encourage all students to think about these proposed changes and offer their feedback. Williamson, Snook and the rest of the Memorial Union board of directors hope to use the feedback to make the best decisions for improving this community space.

isn’t to say that even the most privileged man won’t face a social injustice. A middle class white man may more than likely feel pressured to make more than his wife. That same man make be looked down upon if he isn’t the bread winner of the home. If meninism stands for that man, I could stand for meninism. At the thought of men rising together to eliminate the masculine stereotypes they are held to, my liberal heart races. Although current-day feminism includes justice for men, to deny

them of that voice would only be counter productive. As feminists teach us every day, the First Amendment is for all of us to exercise. When you get down to the nuts and bolts of it, whether we like it or not, whether it be feminists, feminazis or meninists as I imagine them, or meninists as we know them, all voices want to be heard. When we take a moment to listen to more than just the voices relaying the messages we already believe, we can find empathy where we least expect it.

Johnson named to preseason All-Big 12 team By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State women’s basketball senior guard Seanna Johnson was named to the preseason All-Big 12 team by the Big

12 coaches Wednesday. Last season, Johnson was selected to the AllBig 12 First Team after averaging 17 points and 9.4 rebounds per game. She ranked second in the Big 12 in both of those categories.

The last Iowa State player to be named to the preseason All-Big 12 team was Hallie Christofferson in the 2013-14 season. Johnson has the opportunity during her senior year to break Iowa State records in points,

rebounds and doubledoubles. Last season, Johnson and the team felt like she was snubbed from the preseason All-Big 12 team. Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly had some choice words before the season

started. “I have great respect for the coaches in our league, but they must have all been sleeping,” Fennelly said during the 205 media day. “I mean, are you kidding me? It’s ridiculous.” The Cyclones won’t

have to worry about that this season. The rest of the preseason All-Big 12 team consisted of Nina Davis and Alexis Jones from Baylor, Breanna Lewis from Kansas State and Brooke McCarty from Texas.

Iowa State fizzles out against No. 6 Kansas By Sean.Sears @iowastatedaily.com For one set, Iowa State looked like a team that could upset No. 6 Kansas. Iowa State shut down the Jayhawks’ top hitter in Kelsie Payne while also using the Cyclones’ taller middle blockers in Grace Lazard and Samara West to win their first set 25-23. But after that first set, Iowa State morphed back to the team that struggles to block consistently, and Payne started to pound the backline of Iowa State further back. It was downhill from there. No. 6 Kansas took the next three sets (23-25, 2521, 25-22, 25-19) to beat Iowa State 3-1. Both teams played sloppy, scrappy volleyball through all four sets, and while Iowa State’s defense played well during certain stretches of Wednesday night’s loss, its offense was absent for most of the match. That was in large part because of the Cyclones’ serving, which has been the only aspect of their game more inconsistent than their block. “We’ve got our little list of things to work on, but for me serving is No. 1,” said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “We’re not the

serving team we were last year and we got to get back to that.” It seemed like the Cyclones were constantly giving the ball right back after getting a kill on the serve, effectively crushing any momentum the team had built. Along with that, the outside pin hitters had a rough night trying to fight against a smaller Kansas block. Johnson-Lynch alluded her team having issues hitting high into the block instead of down, but she needed to watch the game tape before assuming that was the issue. Regardless, for as bad as Iowa State played at times Wednesday night, Kansas was not much better. The Cyclones kept the Jayhawks’ hitting percentage under .200 for the night (.176 for the entire game). Kansas was hitting in the negatives early on in the first set. The main difference between the two teams, however, was that Kansas had Payne, and Iowa State couldn’t find much offense on the outside. “On transition balls, as long as they were setting high, I was able to get the ball down,” said middle blocker Grace Lazard, who ended the night with 13 kills and three blocks. Behind Lazard and Iowa

Outside hitter Ciara Capezio spikes the ball in the third set against No. 6 Kansas on Wednesday at Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones fell in four sets.

State’s lone go-to hitter Jess Schaben, nobody could seem to find their stride offensively, while Kansas’s Payne started to pick apart a solid defensive team in Iowa State. Payne hit .318 with 18 kills, but her biggest impact on the game was her game-high eight blocks, as

she took away whichever hitter was opposite of her on the court. “Well, Kelsie Payne is really good,” Johnson-Lynch said with a chuckle. “We slowed her down some at the beginning, but she started to adjust and hit over our block.” Johnson-Lynch felt that

her team was doing a solid job on her for most of the night, but when a talent like Payne is on the court, they find ways to score points regardless of the defense. On the flip side of this, Payne was hitting the ball so hard it was almost impossible for Iowa State to

dig a clean ball and set their offense. “Our hitters were trying to keep the ball high and on our side of the court,” said Hali Hillegas, who got her second start of the season at libero. “And when they hit ball that hard, it’s hard to control the ball the way we want to.”

Seniors on tennis team adapt to added pressures By Tyler.Julson @iowastatedaily.com In most cases, being a senior on a team not only requires athletes to be a leader for their younger teammates but also has the added pressure of cementing a legacy and leaving a lasting impression on a program. This year is no different for the two seniors on the Iowa State tennis team. As the only two seniors, Samantha Budai and Natalie Phippen are excited about their final season and to leave their marks on the program. “[Phippen] brings a lot of energy to the team and she does a great job,” Espinosa said. “Her work ethic is unbelievable, she is very athletic and that helps her a lot on the court. … When it comes to Budai, she’s got the big game … I think she’s very excited about this season, and we’re excited to see what she can do.” Budai and Phippen also

know that being a senior comes with many more responsibilities. Both must become the leaders of the team, guiding and setting the example for the underclassmen, as well as trying to finish their collegiate careers on the right path. Budai, originally from London, Ontario, entered the season ranked No. 9 on Iowa State’s all-time wins list. She started the season with 110 victories and has already recorded a handful more this season. Budai talked about leaving an impact for the future of the program and how it feels to be a leader on the team. “It’s weird, I mean, I’m used to being the newbie,” Budai said. “But now, especially with a lot of new girls coming in, it’s really important that Natalie and I step up and be good role models for the lower classmen, especially for the future, so they can eventually take on the leadership role.” Phippen, originally from

Tennis cancels Florida tourney By Tyler.Julson @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State tennis team was scheduled to head to Fort Myers, Florida, this weekend to compete in the Florida Gulf Coast Fall Invite. But due to concerns regarding Hurricane Matthew, the team has decided to forgo the tournament. Hurricane Matthew was about 70 miles south of Long Island, Bahamas, and 400 miles from West Palm Beach, Florida, as of Wednesday afternoon, according to a report on CNN. It is currently producing winds of about 120 mph and is expected to impact Florida on Thursday night

or Friday morning as a Category 3 hurricane. The Cyclones now have just over a week to prepare for the Intercollegiate Tennis Association regionals tournament in Minneapolis, which will start next Thursday. The team has competed in one tournament this fall, when senior Samantha Budai finished in second place and sophomore Annabella Bonadonna finished in third. The team has been focused on finding doubles pairings in the early part of the season. After mixed doubles results at the Gopher Invite, that trend is likely to continue with only three tournaments remaining on the fall schedule.

Lakeland, Minnesota, started playing on the team her sophomore year. She was on the track team before deciding to join the tennis team in the spring of her freshman year. Despite not playing her freshman year and being sidelined with a wrist injury her junior year, Phippen undoubtedly still has many things to teach the underclassmen. She echoed her fellow senior about the importance of being a leader and paving the way for the future of the team. Phippen is coming off an injury last season and talked about easing back into things and preparing for conference play in the spring. “The goals that I have set are really just to stay healthy, get my strokes back and kind of get back playing,” Phippen said. “For the spring, I definitely want to beat a couple Big 12 teams and just improve in both the individual and team aspects.” Budai was also focused on Big 12 competition and also

added some individual goals to her list. “For the team I would love to at least advance one round in the Big 12, if not win it,” Budai said. “For myself, I want to make Iowa State school

history with the top wins in program history and make it to the NCAA’s individually.” The Cyclones have competed in two tournaments this fall and have four remaining before winter break. If Budai

and Phippen keep the team on path and achieve some of their goals throughout the rest of the fall and spring seasons, they will both leave a lasting impact on the team for many years to come.

Iowa State seeks sixth year for offensive lineman Scoggins By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State football team is looking into getting offensive lineman Patrick Scoggins back for another season with the possibility of applying for a sixth year of eligibility. Coach Matt Campbell confirmed Wednesday that Iowa State will apply for a waiver to the NCAA to give offensive lineman Patrick Scoggins another year in 2017. Campbell spoke about it during the

coaches Cyclone callin show Monday, but the idea for a medical redshirt came from Scoggins himself. “He’s kind of the guy that brought it to our attention, which was refreshing No. 1,” Campbell said. “No. 2, I think we were all like, ‘This is news to us and we’re kind of excited about it.’” Scoggins started his college football career in 2012 at Sacramento State, where he redshirted due to an injury. Then, he transferred to Long Beach Community College and

played two full seasons in 2013 and 2014. After those two seasons, he transferred to Iowa State. He missed the 2015 season after tearing his patellar tendon and rupturing his quad early in fall camp. He’s started the first five games this season, but Campbell believes there’s enough evidence to give Scoggins that medical redshirt. “Now, are we counting on [the medical redshirt]? No,” Campbell said. “I think there’s enough, both during his redshirt year when

he was injured and the other year he didn’t play due to injury, that will give us at least a fighting chance.” Iowa State will need to provide conclusive evidence that Scoggins was injured during the year he redshirted at Sacramento State. If NCAA finds enough documents and proves that he was injured during his redshirt season at Sacramento State, it could give Scoggins the medical redshirt. This will allow him to play his final year during the 2017 season.

Kickstart the Sun to release first album

‘SPACE HEROES’ By Jacob.Beals @iowastatedaily.com Ask each member of Kickstart the Sun what the local group’s goals are, and their answers will echo each other. One of the common hopes they have — release a debut album — is now just on the horizon. “Space Heroes” will be Kickstart the Sun’s first full-length album and is set to release digitally Wednesday. It will be available on iTunes and Spotify. A release show at DG’s Tap House is also scheduled for 9 p.m. Thursday. Limited special edition copies of the album will be available for purchase at the event. Nolan Adair, the band’s bassist and sound mixer, said the album has been an endeavor Kickstart has been working on since before he joined the group. “Kickstart was a band one year before I joined,” Adair said. “During that year they wanted to make original songs and they went to Des Moines and they recorded four or five songs with someone.” But those early recordings didn’t pan out the way the band had hoped. “We didn’t quite capture the sound that we wanted,” said lead singer Justin Kunkel. “We were all pretty particular of how we wanted it to turn out and we just didn’t quite get there.”

When Adair became a member of the band, he brought a background in recording music and a home sound studio along with him. After the group recorded some tracks with him, Kunkel said the group knew it was time to start working on what would eventually become “Space Heroes.” The recording process has been met with challenges though, as Kunkel said each member of the band wants the album to be the best it can be. Drummer Justin Booth said keeping their instruments together and in sync with timing for each track was difficult. “In general, it was tough to get our live feel on the album,” Booth said. “We have a lot of fun when we hop up on stage and the thing about recording is you want it to be perfect.” Guitarist Rudy Miller had similar feelings about the perfectionism that goes into making a record. Miller also said he would sit down with early versions of the tracks and take time to experiment with solos. “I would listen to the track and get a certain emotion in my solo and I’d take what I liked and I’d take out things I didn’t like,” Miller said. Another challenge, and something the band has put a lot of time into, is the promotion of the album. Adair said one way the band separates itself from other artists is by making a diverse album for fans of many different

types of music. “Reaching people is probably our biggest challenge, and I honestly do think that anyone who is a fan of any specific kind of music would like at least one song on the record,” Adair said. The band also has been hard at work advertising for the album. The members have done numerous campaigns ranging from making logos, writing posts on social media and drawing chalk art on the sidewalks at Iowa State. Aside from the challenges, there are many benefits to making an album. The excitement from the band seems to send a message that even though there may be risks associated with making a record, the effects afterward are rewarding. “You put all this time into the piece of work, and then to finally see it finished, it’s an indescribable feeling,” Miller said. The album has helped the band members grow not only with their talents but also their dreams. “[‘Space Heroes’ is] a huge step for us as a band,” Kunkel said. “This being a full-length album, it makes us feel more professional. It makes it feel as though we are closer to our end goal of playing a big show or going on tour for a little while. It’s a milestone, if you will.” Being in the band has helped each

one of the members learn and become better musicians as time goes on, but Booth expressed what he believes may be the greatest thing he has learned from his time with Kickstart. “It’s definitely made me a more personable person,” Booth said. “It’s the people we’ve met that has made this whole thing fun, and it’s pretty important to be good to your audience.” This won’t be the last big step for Kickstart the Sun either. All of the members want to travel and have the opportunity to share their music with a wider audience. “We want to go on our first tour, whether it be regional, or the whole country would be sick,” Miller said. “Even in the state of Iowa or just a Midwest tour would be so cool.” Adair said the band will work hard to promote its music at radio stations with hopes of hearing music from the new record on air sometime soon. He also has big goals for the performance of the album. “I want to sell 500 copies of ‘Space Heroes’ either physically or digitally within the next six months,” Adair said. “I think that it’s a high number but I think it’s attainable if we just keep pushing.” To find out more about “Space Heroes” and Kickstart the Sun, visit the band’s website.

Korean pianist Ji to play Thursday By Rachel.Pollastrini @iowastatedaily.com Kennedy DeRaedt/Iowa State Daily

At age 5, Ji-Yong Kim discovered the piano. At age 10, he became the youngest pianist to win the New York Philharmonic’s Young Artists Competition. Now, at age 25, the world-renowned pianist and former prodigy will set foot in Ames to share his brilliance. He will perform at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Martha Ellen-Tye Recital Hall. Ji is a professional pianist from Korea and has made great accomplishments in his performance career. For Korea’s first outdoor classical concert, Ji was a soloist with the BBC Symphony. He has also collaborated with a variety of artists including Korean pop-star Tae Jung Kim and Japanese electronic music singer Freetempo. “I came [to America] so I could have a better teacher, a better education,” Ji shared in an interview with John Hopkins. “But things worked out, and funny enough, I began my performing career at 11 years old.” Since then, he has performed in more than 12 Symphony Orchestra Festivals nation-wide.

Thousands of cities in the United States are affected by the National Historic Preservation Act, a law that created an inventory to preserve archaeological and historical sites, yet only very few people know the importance of the act. The enacted law is the most extensive preservation legislation in U.S. history. In order to educate landowners and the Ames community about the National Historic Preservation Act, Ted Grevstad-Nordbrock, assistant professor of community and regional planning, hosted a lecture from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday in Morrill Hall. Throughout the lecture, Grevstad-Nordbrock incorporated many examples of cities that were affected by the NHPA, including Chicago, New York City, Ames and more. As many as eight buildings on campus are recorded in

the National Register of Historic Places, including Catt and Morrill halls. Iowa State also is home to iconic and protected pieces that aren’t buildings, but are still significant to the campus, such as the Campanile or the Marston Water Tower. “People are fascinated by the water tower. It’s not a functioning water tower anymore; it’s like a piece of sculpture,” Grevstad-Nordbrock said. “People wonder why it’s there and it catches their attention by Marston Hall. It almost seems out of place.” Grevstad-Nordbrock hopes to create a certificate program for preservation by the fall 2017 semester. The program would involve taking three core classes and two electives in the student’s major in order to receive a certificate. “This is something that I feel would benefit Iowa State and its students tremendously, Grevstad-Nordbrock said. “We have a lot of support from the Iowa Economic Development Authority as well as historians, archaeologists and anthropologists from all across the state.” Grevstad-Nordbrock hopes

to see the certificate program grow into a master’s program down the road. “One of the first things I’ve noticed about this university is how phenomenal the student body is,” he said. “I have had so many intelligent, driven students in my classes that are so dedicated to their majors and I believe this certificate program would be a big hit amongst them and others.” Many of those who attended the lecture gathered an endless amount of information and learned plenty to use for the future. Olivia Wallerich, freshman in pre-architecture was one of those people. “Going into this lecture, I had no idea what the National Historic Preservation Act was,” Wallerich said. “But [GrevstadNordbrock] did a great job of explaining the significance throughout the U.S. as well as its role at ISU.” Wallerich encourages others to become more educated about the act. “This is definitely something people should be more knowledgeable about.”

And clicks again. “I think that one’s probably blurry,” she said. She readjusts, shoots several more frames and moves on to the next location. “I’d say if one person shot something twice, I’d do it probably six times just to make sure I got something. I kind of just go out and hope for the best,” she said. “I can see the objects but I can’t always tell if they’re in focus, or even just knowing how much I have in the frame sometimes gets a little hard.” Berglund continues to walk around campus for another hour, capturing a total of 222 photos.

Sanders also praised other countries who do have tuition free college. “Those countries have reached a common sense understanding that to invest in those young people is to invest in the future of their countries,” Sanders said. Sanders touched on many other issues including raising the minimum

Lauren Berglund describes her vision as seeing a lack of detail. She can see the colors and shape of the flowers, but isn’t able to see the yellow center or the individual petals.

She quickly turns on her computer and imports her files. This is her favorite step in taking photos. Unlike a sighted photographer, Berglund can’t immediately check the back of her camera to see the photos she’s taken. Instead, she has to wait to magnify them on her computer. She deletes five photos that she took of the Campanile right off the bat. “Blurry, of course.” She continues to leaf through the photos, paus-

Berglund describes her vision as a lack of detail. She can identify an object in front of her and can distinguish the color and shape of it, but can’t see anything specific. “I can see a tree, but I can’t see individual leaves or branches,” she said. “A lot of people hear the word ‘blind’ and they just assume [that we see] nothing, but actually the vast majority [of people who are blind] see something,” Berglund said.

STUGOV p1 investigation by the Board of Regents,” said Sen. Eric Schultz. Leath said he welcomes the resolution and is excited by the process. Some senators questioned whether it would be worth it to pass and what the resolution would accomplish. Student Government President Cole Staudt spoke to clarify confusion, saying that the board’s statement on Wednesday did not include looking into anything that has happened in the past, but that it is going to make the policies more clear. “I think this resolution could have an impact,” Staudt said. “I would support it if I was a senator.” Sen. Cody Smith said he doesn’t see the point of the resolution, particularly because he feels that it has turned into “a witch hunt” after university counsel felt that Leath acted lawfully and Board of Regents President Bruce Rastetter expressed approval of Leath’s plane use. At the time, Rastetter said he applauded Leath’s role in working with the city of Ames and was also aware of his use of the plane. Some senators were concerned with what they felt was the other senators’ lack

Lauren Berglund’s vision is affected by fatigue and light. “In a perfect world at 8 a.m. when I just saw my eye doctor and the lighting is the way I like it, [my vision is] 20/350,” she said.

Both Maystadt and Berglund know they’re blind. They live with it every day. They don’t need help crossing the street. They don’t need people to speak loudly toward them. And they don’t want you to feel sympathetic toward them. “No one accomplishes anything when they feel sorry for someone,” Berglund said. “I’m blind but I’m not disfigured. I am not broken and I don’t need fixed.” Aside from driving a car or riding a bike, Maystadt and Berglund are able to do everything a sighted person can. “Blindness is not a death sentence, it’s not the end of my life,” Berglund said. Maystadt agreed. “I wish for people to see me as a person and not as a disability.”

CALS p3 coming from,” said Heidi Fichter, freshman in agricultural and life sciences education. The volunteers worked a one-hour shift but were allowed to volunteer as much time as they wanted. Jacee Hogue, freshman in agricultural and life sciences

education, said she came with friends but ended up working with people she had never met. “I like working with people I’ve never met before and work together toward the same goal,” she said. Packaging these meals not only helped the people who will receive them but also challenged and brought an

The latter part of Sanders’ speech was spent talking about the difference in message and rhetoric between the campaign of Trump and the one he spoke in support of. “I would have hoped that in the year 2016 the candidate of a major political party does not make the cornerstone of his campaign bigotry,” Sanders said. Sanders said there is a perceived bigotry and racism in the Trump campaign. He criticized Trump for his role in the birther movement calling it a “racist effort to undermine the legitimacy of the first African American president.”

Sanders then went on to reiterate Clinton’s campaign message of “Stronger Together” by encouraging diversity in America. “Our strength is our diversity,” Sanders said. “And in this room, we have people who come from every corner of the world. That is something we should be very, very proud of.” The speech delivered by Sanders proved effective on young voters in Iowa. Students who supported Sanders during the caucus found his support of Clinton encouraging. “If Bernie trusts her to be president, I trust her to be president,” said Marco Nichols, a high school student from Des Moines and supporter of Sanders during the primary.

of care for student input. “A lot of students don’t trust the president,” Archevald said, adding that passing the resolution could show improved transparency. Leath said that in passing the resolution, it will utilize a lot resources by university counsel to shape its response, and asked the Senate to take that into consideration. Patwa said the resolution is about transparency. “If you want to call that a witch hunt, then by all means, that’s OK,” he said. The resolution passed 234-1. At the start of the meeting, Leath took questions on his use of the university-owned plane, which was intended to help provide the Senate and students with a broader scope of the matter, apart from what they have read in the news. The senators asked questions relating to his North Carolina home, his relationship with donors, the details of his hard landing and his ties to Rastetter. Senators mostly stuck to the specifics of the plane usage, where Leath “offered his side of the situation,” in which he described the media reported as one-sided. “I am here to answer questions or concerns, offer two

sides every story … also tell you that I am sorry and I apologize for any negative publicity that has brought to Iowa State,” Leath said. Smith asked him what good the university gets out of hosting donors in North Carolina. Leath said he went there to meet the the donors, a couple, who were the ones to suggest that they meet at Leath’s private cabin. In an interview with the Iowa State Daily on Wednesday morning, Leath said he hosts donors at his cabin because the cabin makes them feel better, it offers a special experience and you’re able to bond with them. Patwa asked several questions about Leath’s pilot’s license, his contract renewal and reimbursements to the university on his personal business trips. David Babayev, graduate student in political science, attended the meeting because he had been reading about the story. He said he wished more questions were asked about the correlation between Leath’s contract renewal in 2015 and the time that the story came out. Babayev said he thought it “played a major role if impropriety took place.” “It matters even more that this is just now coming to light,” Babayev said.

Kim Dornbier, junior in agricultural business and Hunger Fight co-chair, expressed her passion for serving the community. “I’m up for service and giving my time, serving others before myself ... it’s a good way to give back,” she said.

“Hunger Fight is feeding the world, one meal at a time.” Ashley Smeby, senior in agronomy, also shared her passion for serving and said she feels proud to live in such an agriculturally rich state as Iowa. “It’s amazing, knowing the food we’re growing is going to help people everywhere,” she said.

LEATH p1 Leath had taken several other trips with both personal and business components, including picking up relatives on his way to a men’s basketball game in New York. Leath said the universitypilots told him they would need to refuel before entering New York City airspace, and the stop in Horseheads, New York, was about 30 minutes away from relatives, who then joined for the ride. The plane also made a stop to refuel on the return trip two days later, Leath said, and the relatives were dropped off. “In hindsight, I wish they would have never gotten on the plane,” Leath said. The AP said documents posted on the Iowa State website shows the use of a second plane, flown by university pilots, cost the school tens of thousands of dollars. The documents also included destinations and who flew on the planes. The documents were later removed, but Leath said this was because they included sensitive donor information that shouldn’t have been public. Following reporting of the plane incident, Leath cut a $15,000 check to the Iowa State Foundation for the costs of the damage. “Nobody likes to have mean, distortions put in the press,” Leath said. “I did it for the university.” After saying he would not fly any state-owned aircraft last week, he said Wednesday the incident and revelations may cause him to stop flying totally. He also said he would “probably not” buy his own personal plane. “This could make me give up flying, which I think is sad,” Leath said.
