Mayor Ann Campbell speaks at the Ames City Council meeting Monday. Topics discussed included the rezoning of land on State Avenue. The rezoning allows lowdensity residential houses to be built.

Through his eyes Veteran student reflects on life as U.S. Air Force member By Stephen.Koenigsfeld @iowastatedaily.com This is the first of a three-part series featuring Shawn Ennis, a non-traditional, veteran student at Iowa State.

hawn Ennis is sitting at his computer with a Photoshop file open, doing his best to master the pen tool. His professor walks by him, and she gives him a glance, asking, “Did you get everything figured out alright?” Without hesitation, he says, “Yes, ma’am.” The response, however, isn’t in a typical cadence. It’s softer than a normal yell found in the military. But it’s not a nonchalant reply either. It’s midway between the two — a rehabilitated but

Student advocates encourage others to sign up for cancer awareness relay By Morgan.Kelly @iowastatedaily.com The Colleges Against Cancer student organization is hosting a “blitz week” this week to encourage people to sign up for the Relay for Life free of charge. The usual sign-up fee is $10, so Hannah Eckerman, junior in elementary education and executive chairwoman of the organization at Iowa State, said she encourages students to sign up online now. “The goal is to get as many people as possible signed up this week as we can,” Eckerman said. The theme for this year’s Relay for Life is Superheroes. “We are trying to get a big push for people to sign up before Winter Break because once we get back, Relay is pretty soon,”

said Erin Richardson, senior in child, adult and family services and communication studies. Richardson is the co-entertainment chairman for Colleges Against Cancer. The team has been spreading the information through emails, display cases, booths, chalking the sidewalks and sign boards in preparation for this week and for Relay for Life, which will take place in March. Although this is Eckerman’s second year with the organization, it’s her first year being an executive chairwoman. She has experience planning Relay for Life before because she did it for many years in her hometown. She said events like this are important for Iowa State because “it makes students aware that cancer does affect everyone whether you know one person or

10. I don’t think a lot of people understand that one person can make a difference.” This is the first year there will be a talent show at Relay for Life. To help spread the word about recruiting talents, the group has used word of mouth, and members have encouraged their friends, family and other committee members to tell their friends and family about it, Richardson said. Additional entertainment will be showcased along with the talent show. “We will have a hypnotist, we bring in Cy and the cheerleaders, hopefully the basketball or football team will come show support and do something, organizations like Dub H perform, and little activities to get the relayers involved go on all night,” Richardson said.

Kyle Miller, junior in materials engineering, is the non-greek recruitment chairman for the Colleges Against Cancer. He said that he goes to residence halls and student organizations to spread the word about blitz week and Relay for Life. He said Relay for Life is like one big 12-hour party, so show up and have a good time. “It doesn’t cost to go, and you don’t have to commit. So, if you’re just leaning on the edge, then come. You can leave early, we won’t judge you,” Miller said. Blitz week ends Saturday. To sign up for Relay for Life, visit www.relayforlife.org/iowastate. The group is also holding a Pizza Hut fundraiser event Nov. 13 at the Ames Pizza Hut locations at 620 Lincoln Way and 436 South Duff Ave. for dine-in, delivery and carry out.

The Ames City Council unanimously voted to change 601 State Ave. from village-suburban residential to low-density residential. This parcel of land was split between being village-suburban residential and the other half being low-density residential. This vote makes the entire parcel lowdensity residential. The Breckenridge Group LLC currently owns the land and had originally requested that the area be zoned for village-suburban residential in order to build more units on the 29 acres. This change in zoning is a specific change to the city’s Land Use Policy Plan. This change in the plan satisfies the concerns of neighborhood residents who have spoken up in past meetings. The Land Use Policy Plan describes low-density residential zoning as being used for singlefamily residential dwellings and is compatible with the existing neighborhood. The RL designation means that the maximum density of the land could be 7.26 dwelling units per acre. FS-RL zoning is meant for new development. This zoning is to be used as the village concept or the suburban residential concept. This means that zoning in this area can be higher than the 7.26 dwellings in RL zoning. Some concerns that arose in the past included traffic concerns and a congested neighborhood. Ames resident Joanne Pfeiffer thanked the Council for their action in favor of the neighborhood residents and for ensuring the safety of the neighborhood. The Council also voted to adopt the Iowa State Research Park Urban Renewal Plan and create a Tax Increment Financing District. The plan would be to use future gains in taxes to support current improvements in order to make the research park an economic powerhouse. This adoption of the plan comes after the council moved to approve phase three of the research park at the Oct. 15 meeting. The portion of land within the research park includes the area around the Hub, which will move many offices on campus to one central location. Matthew Goodman, at-large representative for the Council, stated concerns over the length of the district. “It’s not the worst TIF I’ve ever seen,” Goodman said. In order to continue with planning, the Council approved the plan on its second and third reading at the meeting as well. Due to bus traffic, certain roads in Ames are in need of repair to allow smooth traffic on city roads. The Council also passed a motion to move ahead with CyRide route improvements on Garden Road, Garnet Drive and Viola Mae Avenue. The Main Street Cultural District also asked for approval of a sign for Snow Magic to be placed on public property. Snow Magic is an event held by the Main Street Cultural District every year. The event will kickoff on Friday with a tree-lighting ceremony, open houses and horse and carriage rides. The event continues through Jan. 3 with shops open for holiday shoppers. The Council decided to deny the sign due to concerns of adver-

Phone scam details By Makayla.Tendall@iowastatedaily.com Ames residents and ISU students are the target of a phone scam. Callers, who claim to be from ISU Police, state police, Interpol, the IRS or Ames Police, tell the victims that they owe a tax and will be arrested if they do not pay. The victim is then transferred to another caller who says they are an attorney and asks for payment from a prepaid credit card or wired money, according to a press release from the Ames Police Department. Many of the calls have been directed toward ISU students, and the caller ID number shows up as the Ames Police Department’s non-emergency number at 515-239-5133. Ames Police urged students and residents to never give out personal or financial information such as Social Security Number, credit card, debit card or bank information, when dealing with unsolicited callers. Other tips Ames Police gave include: • Do not wire money. • If the call seems suspicious, involves a high-pressure sales pitch, or the person seeks personal information, hang up. • Callers can “spoof” caller ID, which means they can mask their true number and location.

By Waylon.Sternhagen @iowastatedaily.com Evan Wecksell will perform at 7:00 p.m. today in the Maintenance Shop for a performance benefiting the United Service Organizations. The Veteran’s Day event, organized by the ISU chapter of the Theta Chi fraternity, will raise funds to further the USO’s mission of bringing live entertainment to troops and their families. Admission will be free of charge, though attendees are encouraged to make a donation of $5-$10. Michael Tallon, ju-

nior in architecture and member of Theta Chi, said that the fraternity has a long-standing relationship with the organization. “Our motto is ‘The Helping Hand,’” Tallon said. “[Theta Chi] saw the USO as an organization that extends a helping hand to families and veterans and military men and women all over the world and thought it would be great to work with them.” Wecksell’s act blends musical and improv comedy and encourages audience participation. According to Wecksell, audiences can expect a performance simi-

lar to those put on by the likes of Stephen Lynch or Jimmy Fallon but should not expect any prop comedy. “If you hate Carrot Top, good news: I’m not Carrot Top,” Wecksell said. Tallon said that while Wecksell’s comedy is sure to connect with his college-aged audience, the event is ultimately about connecting to the men and women of the armed forces. “We’re also having a letter-writing drive to write letters to troops and families overseas to thank them for their service on Veteran’s Day,” Tallon said.

Gunnels could face up to a year in jail with a maximum fine of $1,875. “We take reports at face value, and we follow up on any case that comes in very seriously,” Van Ryswyk said. “We’re not sure what he’s going through, but we’re trying to get him some help.

Nuturing the future

School gives real-world experience to ISU students By Abby.Wadeson @iowastatedaily.com Have you ever seen children being led across c amp us a nd w on de re d where they came from and where they’re going? They’re from the Child Development Laboratory School, and they’re on their way to their physical education class. The school, located on campus in the Palmer Building, is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, and it’s the only school of its kind in the area. It isn’t a regular childcare facility because there are two licensed teachers along with ISU students in each of the four rooms. The vision of the lab school is teacher training, said Karen Colbert, a program coordinator for human development and family studies. “[The lab school teachers are] coaching our students to be better teachers at the same time as they’re taking care of children,” Colbert said. The facility has observation booths that encourage other majors to utilize the facility. Jen Van Ryswyk, an administrator for the lab, explained that students from the College of Design could use the observation booths if they were doing a project about children’s environments. “We like to pull in dif-

ferent aspects of the university,” Van Ryswyk said. About 16 languages are spoken at the school. Some of the children are learning English for the first time and speak another language at home. The students working in the lab school are taught how to communicate with children using nonverbal methods, including gestures. “Our [ISU] students are taught how to interact with and teach dual-language learners,” Colbert said. The school has a waiting list because of the quality of care children receive, Colbert said. The lab school has been given a five-outof-five-stars rating by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The school welcomes children of faculty, staff, and students of the university along with children of the greater Ames area. Children from birth to age 5 are enrolled in the program and are split up into four rooms based on their age. Kaitlyn Baker, senior in early childhood education, currently works in Room One with the infants but has experience in all the rooms. She explained that practicum students in the program start off learning the routines of the children and over the next couple months they take the role of the lead teacher on their day in the lab. In the future, Baker

sees herself working in early intervention. Early intervention involves working with special-needs children under age 3 and their families. Lauren Perila, senior in early childhood education, spends her time in Room Four with the 3 to 5 year olds. She said that they deal with more behavior guidance and teaching the children using situational methods. Perila wants to work somewhere in an urban population after graduation. She said the variety and diversity in the lab school has helped prepare her for different situations she’s going to face in her career. Baker and Perila said the experience they’ve received through the lab school has helped them along their career paths. “The hands-on aspect of it has been great,” Perila said. “To hear things in the classroom and to think about it in theory and then

apply it here, personally that really helps me learn what I’m doing.” Perila said that they are pushed to reflect and evaluate how they’re performing. Baker and Perila said the lab school is rewarding because they get to make bonds with the children. Baker explained that the children make bonds with them even though they in-

teract with many different college students. “It melts your heart,” Perila said. “What I’m doing is making a difference in their life, even if they won’t remember me next semester.” Baker said the lab school teachers also find a way to connect and make personal bonds even though they work with many differ-

ent practicum students. “I have no doubt that if I ever needed anything from any one of them, I had a question or if I wanted a letter of recommendation, they would definitely try to help me any way they could,” Baker said. The school is a place where children and practicum students can learn and grow together.

Supreme Court likely to see gay marriage By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com After a string of victories for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community over the past several months, four states reversed course after a U.S. Court of Appeals ruling upheld same-sex marriage bans in the those states. The 6th circuit U.S. Court of Appeals issued a 2-1 decision last week, reversing an earlier decision from lower courts and upholding a ban on gay marriage in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee. The decision makes it the first court to uphold a ban on same-sex marriage since the Supreme Court struck down part of the Defense of Marriage Act last year. “I wasn’t necessarily surprised that it happened. I was hoping it wouldn’t, but the 6th circuit has mostly been appointed by conservative presidents,” said Adam Guenther, president of the LGBTA Alliance at Iowa State. “It was just a random allotment of the three judges that got put on it. The majority of them are conservatives, generally those nominees aren’t the most open to same-sex marriage or LGBT issues.”

The 42-page ruling was issued Nov. 6, and Judge Jeffrey Sutton argues that courts should not decide the definition of marriage. “Who decides?” Sutton wrote in the opinion. “Is this a matter that the national Constitution commits to resolution by the federal courts or leaves to the less expedient, but usually reliable, work of the state democratic processes?” To sum it up, Sutton argues that those advocating in favor of gay marriage should convince citizens in their states to support it instead of relying on court rulings. “When the courts do not let the people resolve new social issues like this one, they perpetuate the idea that the heroes in these change events are judges and lawyers,” Sutton wrote. “Better in this instance, we think, to allow change through the customary political processes.” Dirk Deam, professor of political science, says Sutton’s argument is legitimate but is not consistent with past court decisions. “Rights are not a function of majority rule. Rights are something that are given by virtue of citizenship,” Deam said. “States can’t

take away rights by majority vote.” Last month, the Supreme Court opened its term by declining to hear appeals following lower court rulings allowing gay marriage. The court said it would not insert itself into the debate unless there were differing opinions in lower courts. “The likelihood [of going to the Supreme Court] is very high because of the conflicts of laws that are developing,” Deam said. “The [Supreme] Court is the last resort and has to resolve those conflicts. If there are problems, they’ll likely take these cases.” Guenther said he was not certain the Supreme Court would even take the case based on past rulings. If they did, he was not sure they would rule in favor same-sex marriage. “They were very careful on how they ruled in the [Defense of Marriage Act] case, it just depends on when they take the case,” Guenther said. Deam said it is hard to make a prediction on how the Supreme Court would rule if they did take up the case, but he laid out what the court would be reviewing. “The legal concepts that are involved here are

the fundamental rights that are associated with marriage and the notion that sexual preference is a protected class,” Deam said. “If either one of those is true, homosexuality is a protected class, or if there is a fundamental right to marriage, then the court has a

different standard of review that is tough to beat.” So far, Deam said, the court has not ruled that way, but a case in front of the Supreme Court would decide those two concepts. “That’s what the court is going to have to do, one of those two things. It’s go-

ing to have to either say marriage is a fundamental right that can be enjoyed by all citizens and can’t be restricted by the government, or they’ll have to say sexual preference is a protected class, and you can’t discriminate against that class.”

GPSS finalizes grant protocols, discusses housing By Emily.Stearney @iowastatedaily.com Amendments to the Professional Advancement Grant bill, plans for a new residence hall and updates

on a new dining center were all discussed at the Graduate and Professional Student Senate meeting Nov. 10. Three amendments to the grant bill were passed after being discussed by

the Senate for months. The amendments finalized the grant procedures until the bill goes into effect Jan. 15, 2015. The grants provide $180 to applicants for academic conference expenses.

The Senate voted to award grants based on the student’s travel month, award high-priority applicants on a first-come basis and fund the same number of students as in the 2014 fiscal year. Cory Kleinheksel, chairman for the grant bill, said students will be able to apply for spring semester grants at the end of this week. Peter Englin, director of the Department of Residence, spoke with the Senate about graduate housing needs. Increases in enrollment have led to a need for both undergraduate and graduate housing, and Englin asked the Senate for their requests regarding graduate housing. “The hard part for me is understanding the demand,” Englin said, referring to which style of housing they want to see implemented. He explained the difficultly of knowing whether graduate students want an apartment experience or a more dormoriented housing arrangement. Plans for a new residence hall will be approved or denied by the Board of Regents at the December meeting, but Englin said housing will remain an issue to be discussed with

the graduate students who would rather live in an apartment. A program students can use to search for roommates, Rent Smart Ames, was described to the Senate. Englin compared this program to eHarmony for housing, where students can search for roommates using different criteria. Rent Smart Ames can be found through the City of Ames’ website. Since 2008, there has been an enrollment increase of over 6,700 students. As enrollment continues to grow, the Department of Residence and the university will be working together to ensure students are receiving the same services. Nancy Keller, director of ISU Dining, discussed improvements to be added to dining services. ISU Dining operations currently support food stores, vending, a commissary kitchen, bakery, Linden support services and administrative operations. “This is where the most growth is going to happen,” Keller said. “This is a central focus for us right now.” Simple Plate will be a new addition to the Union Drive Marketplace in January. Simple Plate is based on an allergen-free concept and stresses correct portion

size, which can be difficult for students to keep track of, Keller said. “All of us are trying to consider what people find healthy,” Keller said. Friley Windows, a new dining center to be built on the grass in front of Friley Hall, is also being planned. Included in the plans are 300 seats to accommodate the amount of students in the dining halls during the lunch rush, as well as a coffee bar and space to be leased to other food retailers like Panda Express in the Memorial Union. Hillary Kletscher, president of the Government of the Student Body, announced updates on current campus issues. Changing and adding testing centers due to a high volume of students during midterms and finals is being discussed. The model for CyRide’s funding is also set to be voted on in December. CyRide is currently partly funded by student fees, the City of Ames and Iowa State. According to Kletscher, although 90 percent of students use CyRide, their fees only account for 63 percent of the CyRide budget. Kletscher said she opposed an increase in student fees to account for this imbalance. GPSS will reconvene in January.

Oregon, Vermont and Washington are the only states in the U.S. that allow assisted suicide without legal ramifications. A person must be a citizen of one of the states in order to qualify for the assisted suicide.

A widely-held belief in America and around the world is that technology is ruining the human experience. Columnist Titus believes that where technology has its uses, people can get lost in the digital world if they are not mindful of the life going on around them and the people in that life.

Use technology moderately By Katie.Titus @iowastatedaily.com

e live in a world where everything is going digital. We read our books online, take our classes online and chances are, if you are reading this article, you are probably doing it on a smartphone or tablet. Moving into a digital realm does not mean that we are doomed and that technology is a bad thing. Technology can be a very good thing when used properly, but we could be moving into a time where we depend too much on technology and not enough on our solid resources. Last year, my grandmother asked for a set of books for Christmas. Growing up, I remember she always had books by her bedside. Now, however, when I go over to visit she has a tablet sitting next to

her bed, where she can browse the web or read any book her heart desires. It does seem handy to have technology that allows her to read multiple books on one device, but what will happen to all of the books themselves? When I have children, I do not want to read them goodnight stories from my iPad. I want to know that there will still be paper fairy tales to read to them with pictures and words written on the paper. As we become more dependent on getting these items digitally, it looks as though I may not ever have the chance. In 2011, the number of e-books sold in the United States made up 20 percent of all book trade sales, and in 2012 the number increased by nearly five percent. The same situation is happening when it comes to online classes. Online classes can be beneficial for nontraditional students

that have to work full-time jobs or that have to go home and be with their families, but it also comes at a cost. Students that are taking classes online will not get the same experiences and relationships with other students and professors that they would get if they were in the actual classroom. The Internet is not as dependable as we would like it to be. Too many times I have been taking a test or a quiz and the Internet has stopped working, or I have had a technical difficulty. We cannot live our lives wondering when the Internet is going to stop working. We have to find a balance between the real world and the digital world. I will be the first person to tell you that I would never give up using my cell phone or my laptop, but we cannot let technology consume our lives. If we give up the real-world things that

we have, we could just as well lose them. We cannot afford to stop reading paper books or to transition into solely using online classes. Technology is a wonderful tool, but that is exactly how it should be treated: as a tool. Learning to live with technology will be important for learning how to prosper in our future careers. There is no mistake that we have to keep up with the changing times, but we cannot let technology consume us. We should keep hold of the things we find important in life, such as handwritten letters. Hopefully spending time with people face-to-face will never become a thing of the past. In a world that is becoming more digital than ever before, we cannot become robots driven by technology. We are humans, and we rely on person-to-person relationships not a cold piece of plastic filling the void.

Racism proves prevalent in South Korea By SeungWon.Kim @iowastatedaily.com

frican-Americans are discriminated against in South Korea. Two months ago, several Korean students at Iowa State were talking about a particular church which has many African-American members. I was shocked hearing that one student told everyone to not go to the church because there are so many black people. Unlike the United States, people express racial thoughts more often in South Korea. There was an article in the The Korea Herald, an South Korean English newspaper, about how black people are often not hired as English teachers compared to Caucasians. In a video, I noticed an African-American male who was asked by strangers in Itaewon Station in Seoul, South Korea if he was from Africa or America. Many Koreans were using racial terms in front of him. In the United States, many critics claim that media and films, which often consider blacks as dangerous cause prejudice. I agree that this is one of the reasons blacks are having difficulties when applying for jobs in Korea, but there is another important reason. Korea has five thousand years of history as a homogeneous nation; Koreans do not take racial issues sensitively

unlike people in multicultural nations, such as America and Canada. A lot of Koreans are expressing racism against African-Americans just because of their dark skin. There are many American students applying as English instructors in Korea in order to pay for their student loans or just to earn benefits. However, 80 percent of private English institutions prefer Caucasian instructors to African-American instructors, so the percentage of black instructors is much lower than the percentage of Caucasian instructors. According to YTN News, many English institutions in Korea are looking for Caucasians by posting the advertisements which include the phrase “White People Only.” Although there are some black instructors, many of them need to prove that they are not Africans whenever people ask ridiculous questions such as, “You have dark skin. Are you from Africa?” Moreover parents usually try not to send their kids to English institutions where blacks are teaching their children. They do not even consider their educational backgrounds and professional skills. It is not unusual to observe Korean parents asking a principal at an English institution to not make a black person be their children’s instructor. If this happened in America, they would get into a trouble. When it comes to racism, Korea is quite similar to Ameri-

Because of South Korea’s history of being a homogenous nation without different races or ethnicities, people often express racial thoughts. Many parents specifically ask for their children’s teachers to be caucasion instead of black.

ca before the civil rights movement. Although South Korea is considered a developed country economically, I think they are still underdeveloped when it comes to racial issues. This is a large issue because any type of discrimination is prohibited in a technically democratic country. Unless the Korean government tries to improve treatments toward African-Americans in Korea, they should be condemned by international society. According to the constitution of the Republic of Korea, regardless of ethnicity and race, everyone should be treated equally. However, because

of their homogenous culture, many Koreans are still not familiar with this statement even though this is part of their law. The Korean government and Korean people need to keep in mind that as society becomes more diverse and international it is required to embrace people from outside of its comfort zone. Just as the United States changed harsh conditions for black people by changing laws and its conservative culture, Korea should also think of black peoples’ equal rights and stop racially discriminating against them.

Brittany Maynard was 29 when she decided to take her own life. Maynard found out that she had a brain tumor and that she was only going to live for about another six months. She was only in her first year of her marriage and had just started a new chapter in her life, but when she discovered the brain tumor she decided it was not something that she wanted to live with. The tumor growing in Maynard’s brain was so large that she would have to go through full brain radiation, which would remove her hair and leave her with first-degree burns on her scalp. If radiation did not get rid of the tumor, which Maynard was told would be likely, then she would literally begin to lose her mind and spend months of her life in the hospital. Maynard decided she was not going to put herself or her family through that kind of pain. She would rather “die with dignity.” Maynard died before her tumor could change her life. In Maynard’s home state of California it is not legal to die with dignity, so Maynard and her family uprooted to Oregon, one of the only three states where assisted suicide is legal. Maynard and her husband had to become citizens of Oregon and change their entire lives to live in the state. Only then Maynard could get the medication prescribed by a doctor to help her take her life. “I’ve had the medication for weeks. I am not suicidal. If I were, I would have consumed that medication long ago. I do not want to die. But I am dying. And I want to die on my own terms,” Maynard said in an interview with CNN. The decision to take her own life was one that nobody could make besides Brittany Maynard. Nobody else knew what she was going through personally and how she was dealing with living with terminal cancer. Maynard died peacefully in her bed with her husband and family by her side. In Maynard’s home state, if her family were in attendance when she died, it would have been considered illegal. In the states of Oregon, Washington and Vermont, a doctor can prescribe dying people an aid to take their lives at their own wills. The choice to make these decisions would more than likely be the toughest decision anyone has to make, but it is a choice that people deserve to make. We are allowed to make the decision to abort a fetus and to put down a pet, but when it comes to taking one’s own life, the people that help someone seek the peace that comes from death would be punished by the law. While it can be understood that not everyone who is dying would want to take his or her own life, people deserve to be able to make the decision. If they choose to have their families with them, they should not have to worry about being punished.

Standout freshman reveals skill, modesty By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com

Caitlin Ellingson/Iowa State Daily

Freshman middle blocker Alexis Conaway spikes the ball against Kansas State on Nov. 5 in Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones, with the help of Conaway who has a .300 hitting percentage on the season, won in three sets. Conaway also has six solo blocks so far this season.

The cliche goes something like, “Big things come in small packages.” While 6-foot freshman Alexis Conaway is not exactly a small package, she has certainly come to Iowa State bearing outsized rewards on the court. Conaway was recruited as a hitter out of high school, but soon after her arrival on campus it became evident to ISU coach Christy-Johnson Lynch that she had found more than just an offensive threat. What had fallen into her lap was a middle blocker capable of solidifying a vulnerable ISU front line that had been searching to reinvigorate its defense at the net. “If you look at [Conaway], and then you look across the net … pretty much any night, middles on the other side are taller,” Johnson-Lynch said. “It is hard to be successful in this conference as a small middle. That is hard to do. She has embraced everything we have given her.” What makes Conaway a formidable force in the middle is her athletic ability. She glides across the floor with strides so smooth and graceful that her feet appear almost to hover above the court rather than step on it. In juxtaposition to the smoothness and ease with Conaway moves is her devastating leaping ability. She launches herself into the air like a rocket propelled by an explosion, the height of her bounds being matched only by how quickly she rises off the floor. “She can just jump so incredibly high,” said junior hitter Mackenzie Bigbee. “She has done a great job to bring that blocking to our team.” Through 22 matches this season, Conaway has contributed six solo blocks and 73 block assists, helping Iowa State’s cause of defending against the lethal attacks of hyper-athletic teams like Texas. Conaway’s physical gifts also make her the most efficient offensive player in an ISU uniform, as she has hit at a percentage of more than .300 in a time-span that includes 319 attack attempts. Johnson-Lynch has noticed the trends and has bent the offense more in Conaway’s direction as she has developed as a player in her inaugural year.

The strangest part about all of it for Conaway is how quickly she has been thrown into the mix. When she arrived on campus, she was not even sure she would win a starting job. “It is all about aggression and confidence,” Conaway said. “There is a lot going on, and in the beginning, things would kind of go over my head. But every practice and every game I learn something new and become more confident.” Conaway is humble and soft-spoken by nature and is quick to give her team credit when she is personally complimented. Johnson-Lynch said that Conaway’s demeanor can lead to misconceptions about who she actually is and from where her confidence is derived. “She is not loud, she does not yell, she is not real demonstrative in her competitiveness,” JohnsonLynch explained. “But look at her history in her high school. What she did for her basketball teams over the years was incredible. She put that team on her back and won championships for them. She is a tremendous competitor.” Conaway also claimed four state championships in the high jump as well as state titles in volleyball to match her basketball success at MOC-Floyd Valley High School. Despite her wide array of talents, volleyball is her true passion. “I have not missed other sports yet,” Conaway said. “The season honestly is flying by, which is great. It means I made the right decision, and I am loving it.” She said she plans to savor every minute of what has been a rewarding and touching experience for her to this point. “The greatest thing about it all is just how many people I have met and been involved with and been able to touch whether I know it or not,” Conaway said. “On the team we have all these trainers, we have coaches, we have media people and all these other people investing in us. It’s just awesome to have all these people helping me and cheering me on while playing this game that I love.”

This is the first of a three-part series featuring the freshmen on the ISU volleyball team. Look for the next two parts in Wednesday’s and Thursday’s paper.

Cyclones strive to beat slow starts with preparation CYCLONE HOCKEY Player of the Week #16 Seth Serhienko

Serhienko, a native of Bottineau, North Dakota, helped lead Iowa State’s nearcomeback charge in the third period of Saturday’s 3-2 loss to Minot State with a goal and an assist and then the senior transfer from Dakota College-Bottineau added an assist in Sunday’s matinee matchup against his former Lumberjacks team and on the ice sheet he grew up skating on as a kid. With three points on the weekend, Serhienko tied for the team lead in scoring during the threegame swing in North Dakota. Iowa State hits the road again this weekend to take on Central States Collegiate Hockey League rival Illinois Friday and Saturday.

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Where does the ISU football team go from here? It’s the question that ISU football fans are asking after watching the team fall to Kansas last weekend, 3414. But it’s not just the loss that has fans and players alike frustrated; it’s how they lost. The Jayhawks jumped out to an early lead Saturday, scoring 24 unanswered points in the first half. “Your assignments, you’ve got to do them right mentally, you’ve got to do them right physically, and we weren’t doing hardly any of that to start the game,” ISU coach Paul Rhoads said. “We had good practices that we didn’t carry over to game day. The first quarter was an onslaught.” A slow start seems like nothing new for this team. It’s an issue that Rhoads says goes much deeper than preparing on game day. “It’s not just game day, it’s leading up to the game,” Rhoads said. “As I went

through that whole litany of things that it takes, you’ve got to be doing them from Sunday through Saturday … It’s the mental and physical preparation leading to what carries over on the field and having the mental toughness to handle that when you come in.” Another reason for a slow start against the Jayhawks was uncertainty at quarterback throughout the week. Rhoads said that they only knew two days before the game that Sam Richardson, who suffered a minor shoulder injury in the game against Oklahoma, wouldn’t be able to play, and that caused some problems. It showed on the field. Sophomore quarterback Grant Rohach completed only 50 percent of his passes Nov. 8 and struggled to get the offense into a rhythm. “I played poorly,” Rohach said. “As a quarterback, you expect to win the game. We started out slow, when you get down by that much you’d like to come back, but when you start that poorly and miss easy

throws continually early on you can’t expect to win. I put a lot of blame on me, and it’s just rough.” With only two wins so far this season and just three games left on the schedule, it is now impossible for the Cyclones to make a bowl game. “We’ve just got to play better as a whole,” Rohach said. “I hate to say that this late in the season, but it’s safe to say we need to improve in all areas. I think our

chances at a bowl game are gone now. We have to play for pride now.” And even though the morale in the locker room is perhaps the lowest it’s been all season, all hope isn’t lost. Running back Aaron Wimberly says it’s still possible for this team to regroup. “There’s never too big a hole,” Wimberly said. “We just have to gave great preparation and compete every week. We just need to focus more.”

Laura Campbell, freshman in pre-business, uses a powder bronzer to add color to her fair winter skin. This, along with other makeup techniques, can help fight dry skin and fading pigments during the winter season.

Winter rescue

Makeup techniques help combat dry, pale skin during long colder months By Nicki.Devilbiss @iowastatedaily.com A campus blanketed in sparkling snow and brisk, refreshing walks to class are characteristics of an Iowan winter. However, skin devoid of moisture and undereye areas in deep burgundy are characteristics of the upcoming season as well. As temperatures fall, skin becomes dehydrated. Karissa Welch, a makeup artist at The Salon in Ames, recommended applying moisturizer to hydrate skin. “Have a good moisturizer to apply at night before bed, or even having a moisturizer primer before you apply your makeup will make a difference on the appearance of your skin,” Welch said. Dianna Morden, a makeup and retail expert at Serenity Couture in Ames, recommended exfoliating to maintain skin care in winter. Exfoliation removes dry skin that causes skin to

appear dull. Morden said to moisturize skin following exfoliation. A heavier, creamier moisturizer is preferable for night application. To minimize dryness, Emma Lubben, junior in apparel, merchandising and design, uses cream or liquid versions of her normal powder, summer makeup to retain moisture. “I change my blush, bronzer and sometimes even eye shadow to cream or liquid in order to keep the moisture in my skin,” Lubben said. Laura Campbell, freshman in pre-business, prefers thicker moisturizer for winter. She said she uses a nighttime moisturizer that hydrates skin and gives a healthy appearance. Along with moisturizing, she drinks water to keep her skin hydrated. Morden recommended drinking lots of water and getting enough sleep to combat dark, under-eye circles. She said finding an

effective eye cream is key to eliminating dark circles. Welch said short winter days decrease motivation to wake up in the morning. Students become tired and dark circles form as a result. She recommended undereye primer and concealer to brighten eyes. “Having an under-eye primer with a firming agent and a great coverage concealer will give the eyes a brighter, more awake appearance,” Welch said. Lubben uses a concealer containing yelloworange tones to eliminate dark circles. She said those tones counteract the blue and purple colors of the dark circles since orange and yellow are across from blue and purple on the color wheel. Lubben said she has difficulty finding an affordable concealer containing yellow-orange tones so she makes her own concealer as an alternative. “I do this by mixing a normal beige concealer from the drugstore with

orange lipstick,” Lubben said. “Both have a creamy texture, so they mix well.” To add color to winter skin, Lubben applies a sunless spray tanner to her face to avoid dull and pale skin in winter. “Many people are afraid to spray this right on their face. However, I have found that this is actually the quickest and easiest way to get even color on my face,” Lubben said. While bronzers can add color to fair winter skin, moderation is key. “I would recommend not using anything overly bronze to avoid looking orange,” Campbell said. Finding the right beauty products for winter goes beyond combatting dry skin, eliminating dark circles and adding color. Products can impact selfesteem. “Makeup can do a lot for a person’s self-esteem,” Welch said. “So finding the correct products will make a difference in confidence.”

Students use a variety of makeups to maintain a fresh look during winter. Some of these makeups, which are used to moistureize dry skin, tend to be different than those used during warm seasons like summer.

As temperatures fall in the winter, skin becomes dehydrated. To battle dry skin, apply moisturizer at night before bed along with drinking water. Other seasonal makeup techniques can battle dry skin and tired eyes.

Thanksgiving attire for every type of gathering By Miranda.Pollitt @iowastatedaily.com With Fall Break quickly approaching, students are beginning to plan festive looks. Because Thanksgiving is celebrated in a variety of ways, a variety of looks is a must. From lounging on the couch watching football to a formal dinner with family and friends, there is a look that will fit any occasion. For a casual look, stick with jeans and an oversized sweater. A more relaxed family gathering calls for something comfortable to sit around and eat in. When dressing, pick out a pair of either denim or fall-colored pants like oxblood red or a deep purple. Keep things simple on top by wearing an oversized knit sweater. One can also

change the look by layering a favorite flannel or buttondown shirt with an open knit cardigan. This will create a warm and cozy outfit with added interest. One can simply don their favorite pair of riding boots or a fun pair of ankle booties. To accessorize, add a printed scarf or headband to complete the look. For an in-between casual and formal look, pair a skirt with thick tights along with a favorite top. Pair a fun skirt with a denim buttondown for a casual but dressy look. If one is feeling dressier than usual, pair a skirt with a sequin or sheer top to add interest and sparkle. To finish off the look, don a pair of ballet flats. If you want to add extra sparkle to the look, sport a bold statement necklace and balance it with a simple pair

of stud earrings. The last outfit suits a formal Thanksgiving affair. Whether going out to a nice restaurant or gathering inside a home, dressing up is part of the festive fun. Wear a simple dress with a pair of patterned tights. Whether they are colored, fishnet or sweater tights, the addition makes wearing a dress more playful. They also keep legs warm throughout the evening. Throwing on a pair of simple heels adds a flirty vibe to the ensemble. If one prefers comfort over height, wear any pair of ballet flats that compliment the dress. For a touch of sparkle, add statement earrings to complete the look. By keeping accessories close to the face, one won’t take away the attention from the festive tights.

For a more formal Thanksgiving gathering, wear a simple dress with a pair of patterned tights. This combination makes the appearance more elegant while keeping darker colors for the fall season.

Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily

For a fusion of formal and casual wear, pair thick tights or leggings with a sweater dress or a skirt and a favorite top to Thanksgiving dinner. A scarf over a casual top adds to the overall formal look.

Shawn Ennis spent seven years in the Air Force. During his last few months, Ennis realized he has a passion for radio and felt that would be more fun for him.

VETERAN p1 courteous response. Ennis, 30, is a non-traditional, veteran student at Iowa State. After serving seven years in the U.S. Air Force, Shawn is back in Iowa pursuing a journalism and mass communication degree and serving full-time as a husband and a father. Coming back to Iowa after his near-decade long tour around the world with the military never crossed his mind when he was a younger man. He bounced around the country quite a bit as a kid. Ennis took a couple breaks from his work to talk with me about his military experience. After hearing about all of the work he had to do overseas, I’ll admit I had a double take when I heard a “Yes, ma’am” come from him. Did the fact that I knew he was in the military change how I viewed his formal response? The whole two-second interaction caused me to question how I looked at non-traditional students in all my classes. Originally born in Oregon, Ennis moved to Texas when he was 5. The move was foreign but didn’t affect him too much because he was so young, he said. It was the move back to Oregon with his dad when he was 18 that was the harder transition. “I went back there because, well, who really claims they’re from Oregon?” Ennis said with a shrug. Not giving it a second thought, Ennis earned his high school diploma and immediately enlisted in the Air Force. For the next seven years, his military experience shaped and molded his life in unimaginable ways. For the first three-anda-half years, Ennis guarded

nuclear missiles in Utah. “It’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Nothing ever happened,” Ennis said. When I heard his response, I was immediately intrigued. But he laughed when I let out a small gasp and said, “Whoa, that had to have been interesting.” Ennis’ military past helps him excel in the college environment by giving him guidance on what he wants to do with his life. Ennis is just a semester away from completing his goal of being a radio personality. As a member of the Air Force, Ennis spent the last seven months of his deployment in Portugal working for the Armed Forces Network as a disk jokey, playing songs and giving input to the genre of music he was playing. He’d play just about anything to keep troops interested. “My brother and dad both did radio, and I became really close with some of my dad’s friends when I was a kid,” Ennis said. Ennis bounced back and forth in our conversation between his military years and how he took his experience as a military DJ and applies it to KURE, the on-campus radio station. Ennis turns his attention back to Photoshop and looks over the work he’s done. He glances back at me and reminisces about a time when he thought, “How cool it was to see what they were doing on the radio.” Being at Iowa State has let Ennis come full circle. From the earliest memories of being on the radio, to actually DJing in the Air Force, to taking classes that will help him achieve his dream, the path hasn’t gone unhindered. “For me, the transition back into civilian life was the hardest; it was the readjusting,” Ennis said.
