HONEST TEA Drink company goes undercover to calculate ISU’s honesty

By Cody.Timm @iowastatedaily.com ISU students’ honesty was tested when a company set up an experiment to see just how honest they are. Honest Tea, founded in 1998, is a company based on honesty between customers and the company itself, according to it’s website. Honest Tea uses all natural ingredients to create its organic teas in order to make them less sweet, but more flavorful. The company is in its third year of an experiment developed to test the honesty of their customers. Katelyn Jones, representatives from Honest Tea who watched over the stand at Iowa State, said the company wants to see if their customers are as honest as Honest Tea. Jones explained that Honest Tea sets up an unmanned tea stand

What is Honest Tea?

According to it’s website, Honest Tea is a company based on honesty between customers and the company itself. Honest Tea uses all natural ingredients to create its organic teas in order to make them less sweet, but more flavorful.

and advertises its teas for $1 a bottle. Customers can either put $1 in a box, or they can simply take the tea and go about their business. An Honest Tea representative watches the stand to see who pays and who doesn’t, and at the end of the day they calculate the number of teas gone and the amount of money collected to determine how honest the customers were, Jones said. In 2013, the company took the experiment nationwide. From July 8 to 18, they conducted the experiment at 61 locations all across the United States. All the money collected from the experiment will be donated to FoodCorps, which “connects kids to real food and helps them grow up healthy,” according to its website. The company since has taken the experiment to college campuses all over the nation as well, such as Iowa State, known as the “HONEST Campus” tour. On Oct. 15, Honest Tea set up a stand near the Union Drive Community Center. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., representatives from Honest Tea sat inside UDCC and observed.

At the end of the experiment, they counted the money and amount of teas taken and reported the results to Iowa State. Out of the 78 bottles of tea gone after the experiment, 76 had been paid for. This means that 97.4 percent of the students who took a bottle also paid for it, said Brittney Rutherford, program coordinator of ISU Dining. In comparison, during the experiment in cities all over the United States, Honest Tea found that 98 percent of customers in Iowa were honest. The results from the national study in cities all over the United States found that 92 percent of their customers were honest. All 50 states and Washington, D.C., were tested, and 47 of the 50 states had a large enough sample size to determine a value. Iowa State’s value ranks ninth out of 48 sites, with the highest values coming from Alabama and Hawaii, who had values of 100 percent. Texas, West Virginia and Washington D.C. were the least honest places in the United States, with values of 87 percent, 85 percent and 80 percent, respectively. Rutherford said that Honest Tea came to Iowa State through the beverage contract the university has with Coca-Cola. “[Coca-Cola] presents us with different things that they can bring to campus from time to time,” Rutherford said. “It just kind of comes up sporadically, and this Honest Tea thing hap-

Open forum to connect students with legislators, Board of Regents By Brian.Voss @iowastatedaily.com ISU students will have the opportunity to have their opinions heard by several Iowa politicians. ISU Ambassadors, a group on campus that seeks to bridge the gap between students and political representatives, is holding an open forum for all students to attend on Friday. Beth Wessell-Kroeschell, state representative; Herman Quirmbach, state senator; and Robert Donley, executive director of the Board of Regents, will be in attendance. The event will take place from noon to 2 p.m. and will be in the Gold Room of the Memorial Union. Free lunch will be provided. The first hour will consist of a panel of the legislative and Board of Regents members in attendance. The second hour will be an open house where students will have the opportunity to mingle with legislative and Board of Regents members. Spencer Hughes, president of the Government of the Student Body, said it will be a great time to

ask questions about issues both education and noneducation related. “Really what it’s meant to do is help facilitate those conversations,” Hughes said. “If students have questions about what the board is, what the board does, or what are the priorities in the Legislature in terms of tuition and in terms of anything else education related or anything else not education related.” Shannon Goes, executive director of the ISU Ambassadors and junior in chemistry, said the purpose of the open forum is to open a dialogue between students and their Legislature as well as the Board of Regents. Goes said students whom she has talked to seem excited about the event. “I think it’s always great when you get to talk to your representation directly,” Goes said. Goes said the event will be a great opportunity for students to voice their opinions about the tuition freeze. “Some students might be interested to voice their opinions about the tuition freeze applying to out of state students, because right now as

the bill is written it would only apply to in-state students,” Goes said. Goes also said it is a chance to thank members of the panel for putting together a tuition freeze last year. The tuition freeze was the first in 30 years. Hughes said he believes the biggest issue that students will want to address at Friday’s open forum is, in fact, tuition. “When students go and ask the regents why they only pushed for a resident undergraduate tuition freeze … they can ask legislators if they plan to support the proposed 4 percent appropriations increase and how they plan to get that accomplished,” Hughes said. The Legislature and Board of Regents are the two bodies that control tuition. Goes said panel members might address issues dealing with Iowa State’s expansion, which is currently she said has put strains on dining and housing. Last year GSB hosted an open forum with ISU administration. Hughes said the open forum was popular and that students seemed to appreciate it.

LOUD NOISES: Yelling like hell with Homecoming spirit

Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Gamma Rho and Kappa Sigma compete in the second cuts for Yell Like Hell. Homecoming Week kicked off with the first cuts on Sunday where the faternities and sororities performed unique, spirit-filled exhibitions. See more photos on page 7.

Students with bicycles will soon have an on-campus option for maintenance and advice besides taking their bikes to mechanics in Ames. Outdoor Recreational Services will be offering minor bicycle repairs and tune-ups from 3 to 6 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays at State Gym, starting soon. “We’re still getting the infrastructure set up,” said Chris Hendricks, coordinator for the Outdoor Recreational Program. “Hopefully, [the service] will be available sometime next week.” The services offered will include free safety inspections, which include seat and handle adjustments, along with minor repairs and tune-ups. Flat tire replacements will be offered for $10, bike and gear adjustments for $7 and

individual appointments with student mechanics will be available for $14 per hour. “The idea is providing minor repairs to students on campus,” Hendricks said. “We offer free brake maintenance on Sustainability Day. … We saw the need for on-campus repairs. If [students] need help, they have to find a car or load their bikes onto the CyRide to get to a repair shop. [With this service] minor repairs can be done, and if more extensive work is needed, they can ride to another repair shop.” Safety inspections, tire replacements and brake and gear adjustments will be offered to walk-ins during service hours. Complimentary chain lube and tire inflation will also be offered with adjustments, according to the Outdoor Recreation Services’ website. If more time is needed with a mechanic, an appointment can be made depending on the schedules of both the student needing service and the mechanic. “It’s a great service,” said Merry Rankin,

Colten McDermott, left, and Branden Pentico discuss some of the pitfalls, unpredictability and rewarding moments of working on their first large project and job. The students relished the opportunity to work with professionals.

Students create landscape for inmates By Mackensie.Moore @iowastatedaily.com Some people don’t think of landscape architecture as a form of rehabilitation, but ISU students are showing just how therapeutic landscape architecture can be. In 2010, Iowa State’s department of landscape architecture was approached by the Iowa Correctional Institution for Women to design and build a therapeutic landscape environment for its campus in Mitchellville, Iowa. Iowa State’s landscape architecture program is the only one in Iowa, and the Department of Corrections then asked Julie Stevens, associate professor of landscape architecture, if she could have students help design and create an environment that would

the classes will help some of the women earn a high school diploma. “They have to serve their time, this is no vacation for them,” Stevens said. “But while they’re there, we want to eliminate as many conflicts as possible,” This past summer was the beginning of the construction process. Installing walls and pathways, five students from Iowa State traveled to Mitchellville daily to work on the biggest landscape project many of them had ever been part of. “The scale of this project is bigger than most of us have ever touched. Although we’ve designed bigger sites, we’ve never actually constructed a project like this before,” said Branden Pentico, senior in landscape architecture. This opportunity has allowed students to develop skills that will help translate into their future careers. Colten McDermott, senior in landscape architecture, said they not only learned to work with other

aid in rehabilitation of inmates. “Research shows that even a few minutes outside can be therapeutic,” Stevens said. The institution offers classes, vocational training and victim counseling for the inmates. For this project, Stevens brought together students from the landscape architecture program. Beginning with a research seminar to understand what exactly the correctional facility would need, students in later semesters constructed the designs. The Department of Corrections wanted a therapeutic environment but one that wouldn’t get in the way of surveillance. With the use of stonewalls, pathways, shaded seating areas and low hedges, the group achieved this objective. The 1 acre space will be used for classes for the facility residents. From spaces that can contain about 150 women to small areas for one-onone counseling sessions,

business professionals such as engineers, project managers and electricians, they also learned how to work with offenders. “None of us were sure how working with the offenders would be but it was great to get to know them and see how their attitudes changed throughout the process,” McDermott said. While this project is beneficial for the students it will also help the offenders. The classes and the natural therapy of this environment will help them learn valuable skills that will help them to readjust and start their lives back over. “The fact that the project is using landscape architecture as a service is something that’s unknown amongst others,” said Meredith Ver Steeg, senior in landscape architecture and research assistant for Stevens. “It shows that we can do more.” The project is not over yet, next summer the students will return to plant trees and other vegetation to complete the therapeutic environment.

Dining manager acts as ally for students with allergies By Brian.Keck @iowastatedaily.com Since coming to Iowa State, the manager of Seasons has developed many food intolerances that limit her work. Bethany Landon started as the manager at Seasons when it opened in 2009. Landon is in charge of more than 300 student employees along with 32 full time staff members. “I started developing intolerance and reactions to different foods and chemicals,” Landon said. Over the past few years, Landon said she has developed multiple food intolerances including: gluten, soy, nut, tree nut, cane sugar, grape, corn and dairy. These intolerances have limited the foods Landon can eat and the foods she can be around. Whenever the chefs are cooking with flour, they have to alert Landon so she doesn’t get in contact with the allergens, Landon said. “[It’s hard] sending someone else in the place when I should do it but cannot because of my health,” Landon said.

With all of Landon’s different food allergies she said she still finds hope and searches for the positive parts of her intolerances. “I am limited enough and have learned a lot more about different components of food and how to handle my own diet as well as anyone else’s,” Landon said. “It’s fun for me to be able to let people know that it’s OK and that you’re not a problem” Landon is able to better understand students with food allergies and give them safe and healthy food choices, she said. “I want to help other people like me,” Landon said. “Teach them what they can and cannot eat.” Landon is currently working on her dietetics degree at Iowa State. This will be her third degree in addition to hospitality and business degrees. Landon said she hopes to work with dietetics and be able to support other people like her. “I would love being a support for a group for individuals that are struggling with their food intolerances,” Landon said. “It’s Ok to have issues. Everyone has them and

shouldn’t be ashamed of them.” With people being more aware on what they are eating, it is important to meet their special diet needs, said Lisa Nolting, ISU Dining dietitian. Seasons offers a call in service for students with food allergies so they can have a safe meal. In addition to Seasons, Union Drive Marketplace also offers students a specialdiets kitchen. “It’s important to us that the students know they have a place where they can go to get food that is safe for them,” Nolting said.

A debate has surfaced about genetically modified crops and technologies after World Food Prize winners were awarded this year for improving the quality, quantity or availability of food.

Food Prize attracts protests for awarding GMO research By Varad.Diwate @iowastatedaily.com The World Food Prize was in controversy this year as a small group of protesters demonstrated outside the Capitol during the award ceremony in October in Des Moines. The protests brought forth the debate over genetically-modified seeds and crops. GM crops and plants have had their DNA artificially modified for a particular outcome, such as resistance to pests. The few dozen people gathered protested against the World Food Prize and genetically-modified crops as the three laureates this year are associated with biotechnology companies. The protest was attended by 50 people including peasants from Haiti and Brazil, said Frank Cordaro, an organizer of the protest labelled Occupy World Food Prize. Two protesters were arrested by state police officers. According to the World Food Prize website: “The World Food Prize is an international award recognizing ... the achievements of individuals who have advanced human development by improving the quality, quantity or availability of food in the world.” The prize was established by Nobel Prize laureate Norman Borlaug. “The problem is the prize and not the recipients,” Cordaro said. “This year, the people in corporate agriculture named three GMO architects to be their recipients which exposed the lie that it is a World Food Prize. ... In recent history, it has been the corporate world food prize “The prize is a branding tool to win the hearts and minds of people in the Third World to buy into this model.” The World Food Prize said it has given space to critics and invited people on both sides of the issue. “We understand there are strongly held views about biotechnology, but believe protests directed at World Food Prize are misdirected,” said a spokeswoman from World Food Prize organization via email. She said the prize has been awarded to a “wide array of people ... including people who have worked on biocontrol and agro-ecology” and that the conference “includes stage farmers from around the globe” and “grassroots leaders.” Cordaro said the prize recipients have

worked for or have been dependent on corporate agriculture. The prize has been tied to the corporate system and in Iowa that means agriculture. He said GMOs can exist only in a corporate system and are responsible for degradation of the environment. “We are facing a lot of challenges in agriculture,” said Patrick Schnable, distinguished professor of agronomy at Iowa State. “Weather is becoming variable with global climate change. Crops aren’t designed to handle this instability.” Schnable said his research areas include genetics, molecular biology and plant breeding. Proponents of biotechnology also argue for increasing food production through technology to feed the growing world population. “We need these technologies to build the crops of the future to have stable and relatively abundant food production,” Schnable added. Schnable said GMOs are not different in the sense that seeds and plants have always been modified. However, GMOs have a “precision” which was previously not found. In the past, native crops were crosspollinated with cultivated crops to build up resistance in successive crops, he said. This procedure brought a lot of genes which were not useful in the cultivated crop. Genetically-modified seeds have a particular strand of the DNA that is manipulated to make a crop resistant to bugs, pests, drought and other natural causes. However, GMOs cannot help with the arms race between pests on crops and human efforts to conquer them, Schnable said. “Pests will develop resistance to natural genes or GM technology genes. This will go on forever. We are not going to eliminate that,” Schnable said. “This is why we need corporations to invest in R&D. If we quit the race, the pathogens will win.” Other concerns include patented seeds which means farmers would have to buy new seeds for every plantation cycle. “The question of how this [agricultural model] gets implemented is different from the technology. We should debate as a society how intellectual property rights are enforced, but that is a different debate,” Schnable said. “We shouldn’t be afraid of technological advancements, per se. ”

Students need to balance their academics and extracurricular activities, especially during Homecoming week with many activities going on and classwork remaining normal.

Staff advise creating balance between class, Homecoming By Natalie.Whitis @iowastatedaily.com During busy weeks like Homecoming, keeping up with the academic side of college is all about balance. Homecoming is a busy time for many Iowa State students. With an abundance of extracurricular activities throughout the week, many students find it hard to keep up with classes and academic responsibilities. Karen Zunkel, the director of undergraduate programs and academic quality at Iowa State, says that it’s important for students to balance their academic lives with extracurricular activities. “College is a very exciting time, especially Homecoming,” Zunkel said. “It’s important for students to have fun with activities but balance it out with the reason that they’re really here – to graduate with a degree.” Zunkel offered several tips to students to help manage their busy social and academic lives. She said that the most important skills are organization, avoiding procrastination and communicating with professors. For the last skill, it is important to be proactive. “A lot of times faculty will be more receptive to working with a student if they have had ample time to plan. If you plan,

it shows that you are taking your coursework seriously,” Zunkel said. The faculty handbook for Iowa State professors states that students must give professors notice of absences for non-curricular reasons ten days in advance. However, instructors must excuse absences due to university sponsored events where the student is representing Iowa State. These can include academic conferences, artistic performances and intercollegiate competitions. In either case, it is important for students to plan ahead and take responsibility for making up missed coursework and class time. Students should also be aware of how many activities they can feasibly be involved in. Zunkel advises students to not take on too many activities too quickly. “Pick one, maybe two activities that you want to be involved in. It’s important to do something besides your coursework if you can,” Zunkel said. She also advised students to plan out their semester ahead of time. “At the beginning of the semester you can look at and know when your test weeks are, you know when your projects are due,” Zunkel said. “Take advantage of being on top of things early in the semester.”

Balancing academics, activities ■■ Plan ahead ■■ Don’t procrastinate ■■ Communicate with professors ■■ Keep extracurriculars at a manageable level

She believes that time-management is one of the most important things students learn in college. “It’s one of those skills that students learn throughout their careers at Iowa State. The first year, you kind of figure out what’s reasonable for you, then the next year you add another one on and see how it all fits,” Zunkel said. Adrian Jenkins, a lecturer in the mathematics department, is not too concerned about class attendance during homecoming. “As far as I’ve seen, in this class [Math 165] it isn’t a problem,” Jenkins said. Unfortunately, it is difficult to take attendance in large lecture halls. Many professors use clickers or other electronic methods, but these aren’t foolproof. “There could be some kid out there with twenty clickers,” Jenkins said. He added, however, that he seriously doubted that was the case.

Editorial

Disagreeing with an idea won’t excuse banning it There’s something to be said about Robin Thicke’s song, “Blurred Lines.” In fact, there is a lot that is being said. The track was initially released on March 26 and was Thicke’s first song to hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Yet nearly eight months later, the song, which has caused controversy over its questionable lyrics, is still making waves. As of Nov. 6, 20 universities within the United Kingdom have banned the song from being played, stating the lyrics are sexist and encourage rape culture. The “Blurred Lines” lyrics certainly give a listener pause, and for many past victims of sexual assault the lyrics might act as an emotional trigger, but does it justify banning an art form, in this case music, simply because you might not agree with it? Music, paintings, books and speeches are all forms of an individual expressing themselves. In nearly every situation, there are going to be people who find something that is placed in the world that they don’t feel is appropriate. However, that shouldn’t mean the content is banned for all other consumers. Each year across the country people attempt to ban books, often citing the fact that books “promote” something that an individual finds immoral or against their personal or community values. Just as “Blurred Lines” is being cited for “promoting rape culture.” Mark Twain’s “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” is one of the most contested books as many say it perpetuates racism. “The Autobiography of Malcolm X” has come under scrutiny for promoting crime, especially violent crime and violent activism. Similarly, “The Catcher in the Rye” is accused of being obscene, and “The Scarlet Letter” has even been called pornographic by those objecting to the piece of literature. “Blurred Lines” is also not the only song that has found itself banned. Pussy Riot as a group was jailed over their music in Russia; this is impugnation to the point of ruining lives. In historic America, groups have found offense with all kinds of music from blues to rock ‘n’ roll. Despite all this — the vulgarity, inappropriateness or offensiveness of language — we should not want to ban these forms of media. As citizens of the United States, something that we can take pride in is our free and protected ability to express ourselves. The First Amendment to our Constitution guarantees these rights and freedoms of speech, and we should not be so quick to turn our backs to them. Because the amendment protects speech from government regulation, such a ban is impossible to attain through legislation. Of course, a private institution such as a college might be able to initiate a campuswide ban, but why would we desire it? Everyone has something that they don’t like, whether it is a book, a movie or a song, due to seemingly offensive content. However, glancing at the bigger picture shows that trying to ban any of these media is an outright offense against our freedoms. A person may dislike the offensive language in Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” but the lyricist has as much right to write those lyrics as the listener has to express distaste. Before you cry for the control of offensive forms of media, think about what those seemingly distasteful items illustrate: our outright U.S. freedom to say what we please without government interference.

It can also link to health benefits such as eating less and eating healthier than people generally do when they are eating alone or eating quickly when they have spare time.

Take a moment to connect with family during meals By Jamie.Wandschneider @iowastatedaily.com

n a few short weeks, many of us will be flocking home to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family and closest friends. It is a time to enjoy each other’s company and be thankful for all that we have. Unfortunately, the holidays are also one of the few times that families are actually able to sit down and enjoy a meal together. Sit-down family dinners are becoming a habit that is slowly going extinct among families. It is very easy to get caught up in life’s hectic schedule, so when we are with our families, we don’t actually sit down and eat together. As we get older, our schedules become much busier and dinnertime is whenever we are able to take a break, no matter what time it is. By having an actual sit-down meal with our family, when possible, we are provided with many benefits. An obvious advantage to family meals is that it helps build effective communication between the members of our family. During the meal, you aren’t just eating; you are also having a conversation with the people at the table. Topics can be as simple as telling how your day was to asking advice. It is time to have fun, so topics should remain light-hearted and not lectures. It is also an excellent way for the members of the family to bond with each other. It gives us a sense of belonging and

identity among our family. By building this bond at the dinner table, it allows communication between the members of the family much easier. Eating together provides many educational situations. Young children learn the importance of good manners. The importance of “please” and “thank you” are stressed at a young age when eating together. Manners are a skill that carries on throughout the rest of one’s life. It is also teaches people how to prepare and serve meals. From a young age, children are taught how to set a table, pour drinks and even serve the food, when they become old enough. By spending time in the kitchen with our family, we are able to learn some of the basic skills required to be living on our own. Most of our values come from our parents passing them down to us. Sharing a meal is an excellent time to establish these values and beliefs. There are also nutritional advantages when we take the time to eat with our families. Most of family meals are home cooked which is a health advantage in itself. Often, these meals have a much lower fat content than going out to dinner or making a frozen food item. Because parents want their children to eat healthy, the meals are prepared with a healthy balance of fruits and vegetables. According to an article by North Dakota State, by developing these habits early on, children are more unlikely to be obese than those who did not have regular family meals. By taking the time out of busy

schedules to have a relaxed meal allows us to not overeat. When we actually take the time to eat and enjoy our food, we are able to recognize when we are truly full. When we scarf down our lunch in 10 minutes to make it to class, we tend to overeat. Our bodies don’t have the time to let us know that we are full. When we eat slowly, like at a sit down meal, we are able to recognize our body telling us to stop eating. It might seem difficult to be able to sit down every time that we eat with our families, due to everyone’s different schedules. All of these benefits can happen even if families only sit down together twice a week. By building the tradition of eating together, we are put into that habit when we have our own families in the future. By sitting down together for a family meal, we get to have a chance to take a break from the distractions of everyday life. It is one of the few times that we are able to completely focus on conversation without the interference of cellphones and television. As college students, we are away from our families, and we don’t go home every night to sit down with our families for dinner. But when we are home, it is important to have a sit down meal with our families, even if it is only for a short amount of time. As we travel home for the holidays, take into account what real benefits you are receiving when dining with your family. That, in itself, is something to truly be thankful for.

Should police have shot at Comstock? By Katie.Titus @iowastatedaily.com

ear filled the eyes of students on Central Campus on Monday, Nov. 4, after Tyler Comstock, of Boone, ripped through in a stolen pickup truck. Grass was slung from the tires as a brigade of police cars followed Comstock, who ran into a patch of trees on the north side of campus, and Officer Adam McPherson fired off six shot rounds after Comstock refused to comply with verbal commands. Comstock was later pronounced dead at Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames. Many students are relieved that measures were taken to stop Comstock from hitting anyone with the truck, while others remain skeptical of whether or not shots should have been taken with other students around. Were innocent passersby in danger from more than just reckless driving? “The cops were smart to take the shot. It saved campus from further destruction,” said Sara Alesandrini, junior in interior design. “The law enforcement is trying to protect us.” With McPherson taking shots at the truck, many more student lives could have been put in danger and more casualties could have come from Monday’s event. Police took care of the situation efficiently by getting passing students out of the area quickly and getting everything roped off. It did not take long for officials to have Comstock on the

way to the hospital and have campus feeling safe again. Other students, such as Paige Ruggle, junior in chemical engineering, suggested: “Maybe there was a better way to handle it. Chasing the truck onto campus means that many vehicles are speeding through the grass and putting students in danger rather than just one.” On campus, student safety is a large priority and when a high-speed chase cuts through campus, that safety is compromised. If there had been a way to block Comstock from cutting through Central Campus or getting onto that area of campus at all, the chase might not have been so risky. Students had also claimed that it was dangerous to take shots at a vehicle while other students were in the surrounding area. Although it was claimed that not many students were in the area of the shooting, if something would have gone wrong, someone else could have been hurt. Many of the students did

not even seem to be concerned with the chase. Posts on social media suggested that students were more upset that the lunch on Central Campus was going to be half an hour late. Students also seemed to be upset over the banners that had been torn down on campus. Students had even made comments on Twitter about Parking Division not allowing parking on the grass. Safety did not seem to be a strong concern for the campus students. What students did notice was that the campus alert system sent out phone calls and text messages nearly half an hour after the chase had occurred and police had responded to the scene. Operations in ISU Alert were probably not aware of the issue at the time of the chase, but could such a late response compromise safety? Luckily, the incident did not occur during a passing period for students, or the outcome could have been much worse. For the few students that were on Central

Campus during the time of the chase, everyone managed to get out of harm’s way and nobody was hurt. The same, however, cannot be said for one of the Homecoming banners on the Central Campus lawn. It was destroyed by the truck as it careened onto campus. McPherson was put on paid administrative leave after Monday’s events. It is safe to say that students on campus are grateful for his bravery and that the issue was quickly under control so that nobody was hurt and no more property was damaged. We students are happy to live on a campus where the emergency response is so quick and professional. Word of mouth traveled quickly throughout campus and students knew what had happened before ISU Alert had time to send out notifications. Good job, Iowa State, at keeping each other out of harm’s way. But the questions that will remain unanswered for many is, should shots have been fired to stop Comstock?

ISU soccer enters new era

By Beau.Berkley @iowastatedaily.com KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It’s hard to imagine that anyone saw this coming. After a losing season in 2012 that saw the ISU soccer team go 1-7 in conference play and fail to make the Big 12 tournament for the fifth-straight year, there didn’t seem like much reason for optimism. Yet the 2013 team was lead by a senior class that had spent four years in the program and was injected with a shot of youthful exuberance by a freshman class that put four starters on the field. These were the ingredients that propelled the Cyclones to their first Big 12 tournament appearance since 2007 and a No. 4 final ranking, the highest since 2005. The Cyclones comeback season came to an abrupt end Wednesday with a 1-0 loss to Baylor in Kansas City. It was near poetic justice for the Bears

after falling to the Cyclones in a 1-0 overtime matchup on Oct. 18, despite the fact they outshot the Cyclones 21-7. Even with the loss, freshman Koree Willer can still focus on the team’s accomplishments. “Breaking out from being a joke and the last team in the conference to being a prominent team that can win games and can make a difference, making that transition [is] huge,” Willer said. ISU interim head coach Tony Minatta cites the cohesiveness of talent and a will to win as a factor in the team’s ability to reach new milestones. “The seniors finally came into a point of maturity and a group of freshman came in that brought a mix of talent and a winning attitude,” Minatta said. “When you put that talent with that mentality, good things happen.” Minatta filled the role as head coach after former coach Wendy Dillinger,

who guided the Cyclones for the past seven years, did not have her contract renewed and was not given the option to coach the team in the tournament. Dillinger’s departure It was announced Sunday, just three days before the start of the tournament, that Dillinger would no longer be coaching the team. With the tournament fast approaching, would the team be affected by the loss of their head coach? “Absolutely not,” said senior goalkeeper Maddie Jobe. “We were so focused on [Baylor], so a lot of people were in good shape.” Willer said that the team’s will to play for each other is what led them to keep focused on the tournament. “The whole season, we’ve been taking the approach that we play for each other no matter what,” Willer said. “The emotion is there and either way we are playing for each

other.” Leaving a legacy The 2013 senior class spent the last three years trying to get to the tournament and remove the stigma that the program was carrying. Now that they have led the team to heights not seen since before Dillinger’s tenure, what is their legacy? Minatta doesn’t think it will be found in a record book. “The legacy of this senior class is not that they made it back to the tournament for the first time in six years, but what they instilled in the freshman to want to play and keep the tradition of getting back here,” Minatta said. “The reality is that the record book will show that they got to the tournament, but those freshman will be what takes it to another level.” Willer will be one of the returning players to carry the torch passed down by the senior class and she plans on returning

Wrestling opens season with Drexel, Grand View By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com As the ISU wrestling team slowly trickled into the wrestling room for practice Wednesday, something was different. The No. 8 Cyclones will return to Hilton Coliseum on Thursday night, Nov. 7, to kick off their season, and every wrestler knows it is time to compete. “It’s going to be really exciting to be in front of the fans in Hilton again,” said Michael Moreno. “It’s the experience that no one should take for granted. The best of the best have gone through Hilton. The most exciting part just has to be wrestling in front of those fans.” Iowa State will host

Drexel at 5:30 p.m. and Grand View 7:30 p.m. in a double-dual meet Thursday night. And while this might not mean much to some of the wrestlers on the team, they know that they have to stay focused. “Its going to be a good test for us to see where we are. This meet is like the Super Bowl to these teams,” Moreno said. “It will be a good chance to get our feet wet. We’re a much different team than we were last year.” Iowa State will not be competing at full strength, however. Senior Boaz Beard suffered an elbow injury last week in practice. And although Beard is starting to practice again, the coaching staff didn’t

want to risk a re-injury. Instead, Lelund Weatherspoon, 174-pound redshirt freshmen from Jackson, Mich., will take his place. “I think he will perform at a high level, I really do,” said ISU coach Kevin Jackson of Weatherspoon. “His only disadvantage is that he is a 174 pounder. We are asking him to perform at about seven pounds above what he usually wrestles at. But we do expect him to perform at a high level for us.” Last season, Weatherspoon was a FILA Junior National Champion, as well as the Kaye Young Open champion. Even though he is stepping into the lineup at the last minute, Weatherspoon

is still just focused on improving. “I just want to gain experience and focus on my mistakes,” Weatherspoon said. “It’s my first time wrestling at Hilton, so it’ll be good to get this one un-

der my belt.” And while Jackson noted he’s looking for two wins Thursday, he also made clear he wants more. “I want to see us wrestle the way that we have been training, and to make

sure that we are winning and competing at must win positions,” Jackson said. “We have the talent, but we need to add that toughness factor. If we can do that, then we will have something special.”

Persson’s passion, positive attitude fuels career success By Trey.Alessio @iowastatedaily.com

From the childhood memories of growing up next to a golf course in Jonkoping, Sweden, to the legacy being created on the ISU women’s golf team, Cajsa Persson’s passion, enthusiasm and positivity are the things that contribute to her success. A sophomore at Iowa State, Persson grew up in a small town of about 130 people in Sweden. The house she and her family lived in was about 10 minutes away from a golf course. She got into the sport because of her father, Peter Persson. “[My father] was a very good golfer,” Cajsa said. “Having him and living close to a course, it was natural to get into the sport.” The first time Cajsa picked up a club, she was 8 years old. She got serious about the sport when she was around 12 years old. As Cajsa’s golf game progressed at Sandagymnasiet High School, she began searching for

colleges to attend. After her older sister Lisa Persson decided to move to the United States and go to Sacramento State to play golf, Cajsa decided to look into coming to America as well. Cajsa found Iowa State in the searching process. ISU coach Christie Martens talked to Persson’s coach in Sweden after hearing how athletic she was. Martens and Persson began exchanging phone calls and emails, and eventually set up a visit to Ames. “I took my visit [to Iowa State] and it was great,” Persson said. “The golf team was good; [coach Martens] seemed very positive, and it all clicked.” After a year with the Cyclones, Persson started her sophomore year with top-10 finishes in the first three tournaments of the fall season this year. At the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invitational, Persson tied a record for a low 54-hole score and carded back-to-back sub-70 rounds to finish the tournament.

She is the only player in ISU history to do so. “She played really solid, putted really well and had a lot of confidence,” Martens said. Along with Persson’s play on the golf course, comes her positive personality. Despite all of the accolades she has obtained so far throughout her time at Iowa State, she would like to be remembered as just a positive person and a positive golfer. “Her passion is what makes her special. She is someone who does something she loves everyday,” Martens said. “She loves life, and she makes everyone at practice better. Cajsa has taken a positive role in wanting to change, and she’s excited to improve.” Persson’s goal when she’s done at Iowa State is to be ready for the LPGA. “Coming here, I just want to grow as a person and as a golfer,” Persson said. “Getting a bachelor’s degree is good, but golf is what I’m here for. I’m here to become an adult as well.”

Big 12 names Grove-McDonough Coach of the Year for cross-country By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com First-year ISU women’s cross-country coach Andrea GroveMcDonough was honored for her work this season Wednesday, Nov. 6, when she was named the 2013 Big 12 Women’s Coach of the Year. Grove - Mc D o n o u g h

led the Cyclones to their third-consecutive Big 12 Championship this season, as well as fifthplace finishes at the Roy Griak Invitational and the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational. Grove - Mc D o n o u g h led her team in a climb up the national polls as well. After starting out the season ranked No. 26 in

the country and No. 3 in the region, Iowa State is now the seventh ranked in the country. The Cyclones are also the top-ranked team in the Midwest region. Iowa State will attempt to win its fourth consecutive Midwest Region title when the squad hosts the NCAA Midwest Regional Championship on Nov. 15.

Ragbirds to land New Baby at M-Shop By Michael.Zanten @iowastatedaily.com Touring as new parents, world music/folk rock band The Ragbirds will perform Friday in the Maintenance Shop on with pop singer MaryBeth Doran. Formed eight years ago, The Ragbirds offers a unique blend between folk rock and world music elements including Celtic, African and Middle Eastern sounds. “We call it infectious global groove,” said front-woman Erin Zindle. “That’s our catchphrase for it. It’s essentially folk rock with a lot of world music influence. It’s very highenergy, fanciful.” Zindle plays violin and is backed up by folk string instruments and world percussion, with two of the members, including her spouse and brother. “I play violin, mandolin, accordion, percussion and electric kalimba,” Zindle said. “My husband, Randall Moore, plays percussion. We have a drum set player named Loren Kranz. Our new bass player’s name is Brennan Andes. My brother T.J. Zindle plays electric and acoustic guitar, and he sings.” The band hails from Ann Arbor, Mich. Their influences include Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Rusted Root, as well as musical styles from all over the world. “I started the band in 2005 with my husband Randall Moore,” Zindle said. “He and I started recording, and we gathered together some band mates to join us and to also flesh out the songs to do for a few shows.” The Ragbirds have released four albums since they began and have played up to 200 shows a year while touring. “I think our shows are very uplifting,” Erin Zindle said. “They’re very positive energy, very danceable; I think people leave feeling good. It’s not just mindless feel good music. I like to make people think, too. I feel like it’s a wellrounded experience.” The new parents quickly returned to performing around the country with their New Baby Tour which started in September after Zindle and percussionist Moore had a child together in late August. “[Touring with a baby] has been great,” Zindle said. “I’m so glad to be back on stage, I love what I do. It’s challenging in its own way too, but the baby has taken to traveling really well, and just loves meeting people. It’s better than going back to a 9 to 5 job where I have to leave her for a long period of time. It’s nice that she can come to work with

me and be with me most of the day still.” The Ragbirds have been known for touring in their van that runs on recycled vegetable oil, which was retired this year. A recent Kickstarter campaign funded a replacement to keep the Ragbirds on the road and eco-friendly. “We’re so grateful, we were able to raise a little over $25,000 to get a vehicle that we can tour in,” Zindle said. “We can travel in a way that’s environmentally responsible and that also saves us on fuel cost.” While it will not be their first time in Ames, Friday’s

show will mark The Ragbirds’ first appearance in The Maintenance Shop. “Expect to have a really fun time, and experience something you haven’t heard before,” Zindle said. “It’s a fresh sound, and it’s an entertaining show. Come out with high hopes, and have a great time with us.” You can buy tickets for the show in person at the M-Shop box office or online at MidwestTix for $5 for students, or $10 otherwise, with a $2 upcharge the day of the performance. The show starts at 9 p.m. Friday.

Band Extravaganza to echo with ISU spirit By Devin.Wilmott @iowastatedaily.com

The ISU marching band performs before the ISU football team takes the field. The marching band will be joined by the Wind Ensemble and Jazz ensemble I at the annual Band Extravaganza.

Hellogoodbye says hello to blend of old, new styles By Amanda.Meyer @iowastatedaily.com Hellogoodbye is back again with a new album and a new sound, kind of. The band released their third studio album on Oct. 29, titled “Everything is Debatable.” We last heard from Hellogoodbye in 2010 when they revamped their sound and took a different direction with “Would it Kill You?” That album strayed away from the band’s original synth-pop sound and moved toward an indie sound. The album received a large amount of praise for more instrumentals and less autotune, which had been a big key in the composition of Hellogoodbye’s first album “Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!” The band’s newest release can best be described as a fusion of the previous albums. “Everything is Debatable” features a lot more synth sounds like those from the first album, and a lot of raw vocals and instruments that came from the second album. The result is a refreshing and fun sound that fans of both previous albums are sure to enjoy. The opening song, “And Everything Becomes a Blur,” starts off the album with a big dose of arcadelike synth sounds as the song evolves fun and happy indie rock song. It kicks off the album perfectly, reflecting Hellogoodbye’s previous sounds while

acknowledging they have moved on. The best track on the album is “The Magic Hour is Now,” an upbeat feel-good love song with a quick tempo and a wonderful combination of synth and instruments. Another great song from the album is “Just Don’t Let Go Just Don’t.” The track is happy and upbeat, and sounds like something you might hear in an iPod commercial. This track could probably have even gone on Hellogoodbye’s first album because of its similar sound to the tracks on “Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!” The closing song on the album, “A Near Death Experience,” is the perfect track to end with. It begins slow and laid back, and builds up a great amount as the song progresses. By the end, it resolves quickly and effortlessly. The only drawback of the album is that many of the songs sound a little too similar, so during the first listen, listeners might become bored with the content of the album. However, after a few more listens of the album, you learn to enjoy each song for its composition and lyrical quality. Hellogoodbye is currently touring with Paramore and Metric.

The ISU Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble I and ISU Cyclone Football “Varsity” Marching Band will perform at Iowa State’s annual Band Extravaganza on Nov. 16 at Stephens Auditorium. With more than 700 current band members at Iowa State and more than 40 years of tradition, the extravaganza brings more than 2,000 people to the 2,700 seat auditorium each year. Middle school and high school students from all across Iowa are drawn to the event along with many ISU alumni and students. Each group will present various works along with a number of staging techniques that add to the atmosphere of the performance. The

music will range from the classics of jazz to the spirit filled sounds of the marching band. “If you have Cyclone spirit, this is an event you don’t want to miss,” said Michael Golemo, professor and chairman of Iowa State’s music department. Golemo has been a part of the department for 15 years and also directs the 60-member Wind Ensemble, Iowa State’s select concert band. The extravaganza is not a typical formal concert. The audience is encouraged to be a part of the action and share its Cyclone pride with the performers. The pep rally-like event will bring the football field to the auditorium. The audience will be able to sing along with the fight song and take a moment of silence for the alma mater.

“The Extravaganza is really exciting and quite a show. Once you attend it, you go back every year,” Golemo said. “Playing at Stephens is kind of a unique venue; it’s not the place where you would do something very quiet and chamber like. … You do things that are big.” Stephens was declared Iowa’s building of the century in 2004 by the American Institute of Architects. Located at Iowa State Center, Stephens hosts many concerts put on by Iowa State’s music department every year. “Every group goes in knowing this is going to be a big audience and you really have to sell it,” Golemo said. The extravaganza will be at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and can be purchased at the door.

Arcade Fire’s new indie album not fit for the average listeners By Winthrop.Isaacs @iowastatedaily.com Canadian indie rock band, Arcade Fire, dropped their latest effort, “Reflektor,” along with most of the musical characteristics that made them as acclaimed as they are today. Arcade Fire has been revered as one of the most innovative bands in indie rock. With their albums “Funeral,” “Neon Bible” and “The Suburbs,” Arcade Fire is known for ambitious arrangements of musical instruments that create seas of sound so that front man, Win Butler, may soar over with emotional vocals and poetic lyrics. However, with this new effort came a new direction. We find the Montreal indie rock titans engaging in some indie electronica and that is totally understandable given that the talented James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem is credited as a main producer for this album. Apart from the direct influence from Murphy, Arcade Fire displays some Talking Heads worship as can be easily found in the lead single and title track, “Reflektor.” Reflektor starts with an insatiable groove, which is a reoccurring theme throughout this album, and evolves into an alternative dance frenzy with chorus tinged vocals and one liners like “if this is heaven then I need something more.” Definitely a standout track amidst the bunch. The second track, “We Exist,” is also one of my favorites, dealing with the con-

templation of life and purpose. It opens with some eerie vocals among reversing phrases of music. Lyrically this track stands out, hinting toward topics pertaining to pluralism but musically it does get a bit monotonous after a few listens which unfortunately, seems to be the cancerous symptoms of a handful of these tracks. It feels as though, I either feel totally enamored by a track such as “Porno” and “Normal Person” or I’m bored ad nauseum by tracks such as “Flashbulb Eyes.” Given that this album is a double LP, another notch of ambition for Arcade Fire, I delved into this piece of work and felt strongly about it, however, towards the backside of this LP, it begins to meander and become a bit self indulgent. I am not about to extol the band due to their flawless track record (literally) nor be daunted by saying that I was not fully in love with this album. Butler did come through with some spectacular lyrics like always but this album fell short musically. Unless you are a die hard Arcade Fire fan, I would not recommend this album to you nor to listeners trying to get into Arcade Fire or indie rock in general. Instead, I detour you to their earlier work as listed above and if you want to delve deeper into the genre, listen to “Doolittle” by The Pixies or Pavement’s “Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain.”
