Council discusses Breckenridge, jobs Members postpone meeting, forum By Christie.Smith @iowastatedaily.com Rezoning of the Breckenridge property on South Wilmoth Avenue and Lincoln Way was postponed at an Ames City Council meeting Tuesday night. The Breckenridge property has been the topic of several previous council meetings. The proposed plan for the property would include an apartment complex with more than 400 beds and at least 15,000 square feet of commercial space included. This mixed-use space would create housing and retail options similar to the new developments in Campustown. The next step for the property is the rezoning of the land for usage as high-density residential and commercial. The Planning and Zoning

Commission was scheduled to present a rezoning plan to the council at Tuesday’s meeting, but it requested that the council postpone its testimony until the Nov. 24 meeting. The motion to continue the hearing until Nov. 24 was carried unanimously. Councilman Tim Gartin, who represents Ward 2, also announced an entrepreneurship workshop for ISU students that is scheduled to take place in the South Ballroom of the Memorial Union at 6 p.m. Tuesday. The workshop will focus on creating an “entrepreneurship ecosystem,” a term borrowed from the guest speaker for the event, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. Gartin said the workshop will be the first of many steps to create an environment in Ames that’s conducive for start-up businesses. He said it’s also an

The ISU Police Department is investigating the death of a male ISU student that occurred Monday night. The student’s body was discovered by railroad officials on Union Pacific Railroad property between Brookside Park and Haber Road. According to the Iowa State News Service, no foul play is suspected based on a preliminary investigation. The identity of the student and more information about his death is being withheld by police pending the notification of family members. This is a developing story. The Daily will continue to update it as more information becomes available.

opcorn is all about the process — well, at least it is for Garrett Ley, junior in agricultural business. “Business, talking to people, always trying to make money,” said Ethan Ley, freshman in agriculture biochemistry and Garrett’s younger brother, when asked to describe his older sibling. Since childhood, Garrett Ley has been interested in business, specifically in creating his own. “Growing up, he always had a handful of businesses he wanted to start,” Ethan Ley said. That love of business and independence has led to a variety of start-ups, from lawnmowing to vegetable stands to donuts. Now, it’s led to something new: gourmet popcorn.

Ames PD identifies suspect in recent student burglaries By Shannon.McCarty @iowastatedaily.com

FOOD NIGHT KICKS OFF INTERNATIONAL WEEK Farah Rahim prepares the table for the Association of Malaysian Students at Iowa State. International Food Night took place from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Tuesday at St. Thomas Aquinas Church. International Week will continue until Nov. 19. Other events include International Dance Night, International Bazaar Night and International Game Night.

The Ames Police Department has a suspect in a slew of burglaries that took place during the weekend. Burglars walked into unlocked apartments and stole possessions, including cellphones and gaming consoles, during five different burglaries. “It’s a crime of opportunity,” said Jason Tuttle, investigations commander for the Ames Police Department. Tuttle said it is not uncommon to see students be the victims of burglary because many students do not always lock their doors and commonly have laptops and game consoles out in the open. “I think some of our criminals know our students are easy targets,” Tuttle said. Victims of the burglary that occurred on Marigold Drive told police three men entered the apartment.

They said one was a black male adult and they don’t think he spoke English. Tuttle said another victim, who lives on Todd Drive, told police that there were five suspects who left the apartment in a white van. With the help of a tip from the suspect’s friend, Ames Police was able to recover some property from the suspect’s residence, Tuttle said. The department hopes to have enough evidence to file an arrest later this week. Students can remove the burglary target by locking doors, closing curtains and keeping valuables out of sight. If items are stolen, Tuttle said it is helpful when owners know the serial number of their devices because that knowledge allows the police to easily identify stolen electronics. Tuttle said since holiday breaks will be arriving in the coming weeks, Ames Police anticipates more burglaries because students will be leaving their apartments. If a burglar has entered your house, call 911 and try to get a good visual description of the burglar. “We prefer there not to be a confrontation,” Tuttle said.

Free speech on campus Lawyer, author talks censorship during lecture By Zach.Clemens @iowastatedaily.com David French had strong words against censorship on college campuses in his guest lecture at the Memorial Union on Tuesday night. French is a constitutional lawyer who graduated from Harvard Law School and is a staff writer for the National Review. He is a veteran who served in Iraq in 2007, where he was awarded the Bronze Star, and has co-authored a number of books, including most recently “Rise of ISIS: A Threat We Can’t Ignore.” His lecture, “Censorship and the New Puritans on Campus,” started with his story of growing up in a small Kentucky town and being the first from his university to be accepted into Harvard Law School.

ISU appears on Maps StuGov University buildings get street addresses By Alia.Mortenson @iowastatedaily.com

Max Goldberg/Iowa State Daily

Buildings on campus have begun to receive street addresses, which will benefit delivery services. All buildings will have addresses next semester.

Iowa State will receive the street addresses that staff, students, faculty and even delivery services desire. Cathy Brown, program manager of Facilities Planning and Management at Iowa State, said many departments across campus are involved in this plan to implement the new addresses. Some of the departments included are the Department of Residence, landscape design, parcel and postal, computer support, Department of Public Safety and campus services. Brown said even some

parking lots and recreational fields are going to have addresses for emergency response purposes. All buildings will officially have a campus address implemented at the beginning of the 2016 spring semester. John Hoffman, systems analyst, will be in charge of implementing this new project in the Google Maps format. Hoffman is the Google Maps regional representative for this specific area and will use a program called “Map Maker” to ensure the university is well represented in Google Maps as well as by the U.S. Postal Service. Hoffman is currently in the process of putting Iowa State’s campus accurately into Google Maps, which includes drawing in buildings, sidewalks and streets.

changes are approved, the election commissioner will now assume the duties to investigate all claims of election fraud, which is currently the responsibility of the vice commissioner. The vice commissioner would then be responsible for the advertisement and promotion of all Student Government elections, and this would include working with the public relations committee as well as figuring out budgets for that promotion.

Faculty discusses job descriptions Senate favors revisions to statements By Josh.Newell @iowastatedaily.com During its meeting Tuesday, the Faculty Senate approved changes and clarifications to how personal responsibility statements for faculty are dealt with. Personal responsibility statements are documents that lay out the specific job descriptions for members of the faculty at Iowa State. “The [statements are] one of the things the faculty and their chairs should be talking about,” said Veronica Dark, professor of psychology. Dark also led the task force responsible for the changes to the statements. According to the report on the current state of the statements published February of this year by the Task Force to Review the Faculty Position Responsibility Statement, the task force found a wide variation in formats as well as general information covered from a survey of 100 Personal

Responsibility Statements from many different departments at Iowa State. Based on the report, when the idea of a personal responsibility statement was conceived 15 years ago, the plan was to have a document that “would serve the individual, unit, college and university by defining an individual’s role at the university.” In the 15 years since the the statements’ inception at Iowa State, a couple of problems have become apparent. Currently the biggest problem, according to the report, is that not all members of the faculty actually have one of these statements. The report calls on the provost, as well as heads of departments, to remedy this problem. The senate approved a motion that clarifies language in the faculty handbook regarding who needs a personal responsibility statement. The language specifies that all faculty, including administrators, should have a statement on file in their departments. During the meeting, the senate approved a motion that would mandate a

Today’s Birthday (11/11/15)

Creativity abounds this year, quite profitably. Write, record and document your expressions. This autumn and next spring prove especially fertile, with late next summer a perfect launch. Partnership grows and gets romantic. Career communications peaks with new opportunities around November 25. Work may include travel. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries - 9

(March 21-April 19) You’re on top of the world in a variety of ways. There are some interferences in romance. Invent something new in your relationship. Your self-confidence helps, but don’t get arrogant.

Taurus - 8

(April 20-May 20) For the next seven months with Neptune direct, work and career flow forward. Decisions seem easier. Take care, but don’t get stopped by old fears. Consider what you want.

Gemini - 7

(May 21-June 20) This week spins some good party days. Avoid excesses that could cloud your thinking, as tempers run a bit short now. Relaxing is a priority. Plan a vacation, even just by scheduling time to do nothing.

Cancer - 9

(June 21-July 22) Consider new opportunities; however, don’t take a job you don’t understand. Listen to your heart before saying yes. Until about the middle of next year, it’s easier to save money.

Leo - 8

(July 23-Aug. 22) Travel is appealing, although it could be challenging. Expand your boundaries. Team actions move toward goals you set some time in the past.

Virgo - 8

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Focus on what you love, and the money will come. Tailor your passion to the market. Track your finances to increase the bottom line. Reaching an agreement could seem like a balancing act.

Libra - 9

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Everything works better together with a reliable partner now. Supporting each other, you both get farther. Your romantic fantasies seem more achievable. But there’s still room for misunderstanding.

Scorpio - 7

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Do like the bees, and get busy collecting nectar. There’s plenty of work to be done around the hive. Use safe cleaning supplies. It’s not necessarily the best time for romance. Make long-term plans.

Sagittarius - 9

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21) There’s room for conflict and disagreement but also for love and pampering. Things are falling into place. For the next few months, it’s easier to understand abstract thoughts.

Capricorn - 8

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Home is where the heart is. The next two days are good for domestic projects. And your income seems to rise naturally, now that Neptune’s direct. Trust your own good judgment.

Aquarius - 7

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18) TAn unexpected bonus arises. It’s easier to achieve your goals. You’re getting smarter by the minute, but don’t get cocky. There’s a lesson here. Postpone romance until you get it. Write your musings.

Pisces - 9

(Feb. 19-March 20) Focus on making honest money. Your dreams are more achievable, now and for the next seven months. Complete one project, and then dream up new ones. Remain obsessed with details.

FREE SPEECH p3

speech codes decades ago to rein in free speech, he said. “Universities will twist themselves into intellectual knots to justify limiting free speech,” French said. He cited a case he took to court about a university that had a policy that stated that acts of intolerance would not be tolerated. He argued in court that an act of intolerance is undefinable. “The truth is speech that is offensive has no value, but what is offensive speech?” he said. “Offensive speech tends to be defined by those who run the uni-

it was there that he realized “not everyone was so in love with free speech.” College campuses should be a place where students should be able to sharpen their critical thinking skills and correct errors in their judgment or strengthen that judgment, French said. The problem today is that free speech is a means to an end as an instrument of the powerful and not a tool of free-thinking students. Universities enacted

versity.” French highlighted the events at the University of Missouri, where there had been racial incidents, including a swastika written on a dorm wall with feces. Protesters, including members of the football team, called for the president to step down. Once the protesters got their demands, they told reporters that they could not be on campus, French said. “They immediately tried to limit the free speech of others,” he said. “It was ‘free speech for me, but not

for thee.’” He said the alternative is to start treating students like adults. To be a productive adult, people have to be able to have an open discussion and be able to hear things that might upset them, but they have to become better through that. “The absence of liberty is not the triumph of a certain mindset; it is the loss of unity and will ultimately lead to division. Free speech is a fundamental value that preserves the Union, and we need to remember that,” French said.

ulty set down by their statements. According to the findings presented in the report, most personal responsibility statements at Iowa State do not follow a standard format nor do they set forth standardized, and even in some cases, clear and understandable expectations. New language for the

faculty handbook, approved by the senate at the meeting, would set down guidelines for what sort of information should be included in a faculty member’s statement. “People can be creative,” Dark said. “They can do whatever they think is necessary in the creation of their [statement].” As well as the changes

to the personal responsibility statement policies, the faculty senate also approved a motion to discontinue the botany major for graduate students, which has not been utilized since 2003. The Faculty Senate’s next meeting will take place at 3:30 p.m. Dec. 8 in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

of Ali Cakes, has been decorating cakes for more than a decade and worked in Des Moines before moving to Ames. “Finding something as lively as Des Moines, I didn’t think I’d be able to, but Ames really rivals it. There’s people walking by constantly,” Kanealy said.

Starting a cake decorating business and calling it “Ali Cakes” had been a dream of Kanealy’s since she was 6 years old. “Not many people can say what they wanted to do when they were little is what they get to be, but I‘m one of the lucky ones,” Kanealy said.

supplies run out in order to save on paper and ink costs. The biggest change Iowa State will face with the new addresses is in residence halls. Lisa Ludovico, assistant director of the Department of Residence, said the project will be beneficial for residents by way of shipping through UPS and Fedex, but will be hard to implement by the beginning of the spring semester. Ludovico said students are currently following a four- or three-line address program now and will be converting to solely a fourline program.

The lines will be: name, hall/floor/room, street address and city/ state/ZIP code. This program will benefit delivery service and food delivery because most postal services or delivery service require a street address. “During this semester alone a mother in Miami called because she was trying to send a package to her son, and UPS would not send the package without a street address,” Ludovico said. “The project will probably take a full year to implement in order to get the university use to the changes.” Ludovico said ISU stu-

dents will receive notification of the address changes in their emails and mailboxes when they return for the spring semester. The address information will also be posted on posters throughout buildings, and stickers with the new addresses of the residence halls will be placed on the emergency phones in each of those residence halls at Iowa State. Ludovico said the Department of Residence will probably renumber the residence halls to accommodate or follow the city of Ames format. This program would start in the fall to make implementation easier.

Columnist Beiwel argues that age gaps in movies promote a misrepresentation of real-life relationships. Movies tend to portray women who are older than the men they are in a relationship with in a negative light, but the same does not happen for men who have relationships with much younger women.

Loving the age gap Relationships in movies reflect real world stigma By Maddy.Beiwel @iowastatedaily.com “People asked if I was his daughter. They ask all the time. Hoping, accusing. We never say yes, and we never say no,” writes Kirsten Reed in her book “The Ice Age.” Think of 10 movies that feature an adult romance between a younger man and an older woman — not just adolescent infatuations over a hypersexualized ideal of an older woman. Think of an actual relationship with reciprocated feelings of love. It’s not easy. A Google search resulted in few movies depicting such a relationship. The ones that popped up included “Adore,” “How Stella Got Her Groove Back” and “Being Julia.” And I bet you haven’t even heard of most of them. Now think of 10 movies that feature a romance between an older man and younger woman. The list goes on and on — “American Beauty,” “Bram Stoker’s Dracula,” “My First Lady,” “Never Say Never Again,” “As Good As It Gets,” “Memoirs of a Geisha.” More movies not only fall into this category, but they are also much more popular. This representation of this stereotype is growing, and a greater emphasis has been placed on the representation of strong and capable women in recent films. But as of late women have generally played the role of supporter or the unattainable

object that the charismatic male lead chases. She has no agency. She exists to be sought after, desirable for her charm or “manic pixie dream girl” status. More female leads were featured in the top 100 domestic grossing movies in 2002 than in 2014. This imbalance of power is only amplified when a significant age gap is added. I have no problem with age gaps. In fact, I find it kind of romantic when two people from two different stages of life can come together and find a kindred spirit in each other and move forward despite the stigma. What’s not so sweet is when youth, particularly females, are fetishized to the point that a beautiful 37-year-old woman is told she is “too old” to play the love interest of a 55-year-old man. Emma Thompson, 56, was chided that she was too old to play the wife of Hugh Grant, 55, in “Sense and Sensibility” despite being only a year older than him. “Irrational Man” came out earlier this year and features Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone, who have a 14-year age gap, as a professor and student who eventually form a relationship. This exists in characters and actors. In a study conducted by Indiewire of romantic comedies from 1984-2014, the average age of the female leads was never older than the average age of the male leads in any of those years. Men were usually older even in films directed by women. While “ageism” in Hollywood is finally on the decline, which is evident in the narrowing age gap in some newer films, many highgrossing films still feature a leading man who is significantly older than

the leading woman — Mark Ruffalo is 17 years older than Scarlett Johansson in “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” and Michael Keaton is 30 years older than Andrea Riseborough in “Birdman.” I also noticed a disturbing trend in movies when the woman is older than the man. Almost inevitably, a point is made about how strange or even inappropriate it is for a woman to be dating someone a few years younger than her. Many movies that include a woman older than a man feature the man as underaged to highlight the contrived inappropriateness. “The Boy Next Door” is about a married woman, played by Jennifer Lopez, who falls for her young neighbor who turns out to be her student. I believe this exemplifies the social norm that while romance between an older man and younger woman is natural, romance between a younger man and older woman is dirty, strange and socially unacceptable. The trend to cast young actresses as the love interests of men old enough to be their fathers speaks to the insane commodification of youth that runs rampant in Hollywood. It expects a woman to be physically flawless, pretty and full of youth while simultaneously expecting her to be eager to take on the rigors of a relationship with an older man, who, arguably, can mold her into who he wants the young woman to be. It’s improbable and prevents capable actresses from portraying real relationships with people their own age. This underrepresentation of actual relationship dynamics is damaging not only to actresses’ careers past their mid-20s, but it also damages the idea of relationships as a whole.

Daydreaming impairs success By Sophia.Smarandescu @iowastatedaily.com If you’re like me, then you’re a dreamer, day or night. And if you’re even more like me, you have a go-to fantasy. Here’s mine: I’m walking in downtown Los Angeles with Danny DeVito on my arm. He asks me if I’m cold, I say yes, he offers me his jacket. A woman passing by attacks me, Danny remains calm. He holds out his hand, signaling her to stop. She becomes tearful. “Here, have my Dominos gift card,” the girl says as she drops the gift card to the pavement. The paparazzi flocks to the gift card. Luckily, I am very agile in my dreams, and I retrieve the gift card. I am victorious. “You have five minutes left on the exam.” I snap back into consciousness. I am greeted by the stark reality of my world. I have only answered the first three questions on my exam and still have 20 questions left — all because of DeVito. Daydreaming is my favorite recreational activity, and, if I could pursue it professionally, I would. But I, like many others, typically daydream when I am performing a routine task such as taking an exam. Although it’s

entertaining, daydreaming has a lasting negative impact. We spend 50 percent of our waking lives daydreaming, according to a study by Daniel Gilbert and Matthew Killingsworth. The majority of people spend as much time daydreaming as they spend thinking about the task at hand, according to the study. The researchers also found that daydreamers, on average, are unhappier than nondaydreamers. When the research participants were daydreaming, only 56 percent of the participants reported feeling happy. But 66 percent of participants who

were focused on the task at hand reported feeling happy. Daydreaming has its benefits: It can boost your creativity, solidify your values and help build empathy. However, as you have probably heard many times, there can be too much of a good thing. Daydreaming is a pleasant escape, especially when you’re performing an effortless task or if you’re in bad company. But it’s easy to forget how it can impact our daily lives. While daydreaming is the most exciting part of an uneventful life, the amount of time

you allow yourself to daydream should be limited, especially when the amount of time spent in reality pales in comparison. Instead of daydreaming, make your own life exciting. Maybe instead of daydreaming about walking arm-in-arm with a certain celebrity, you search for his fan mail address and write to him, go see a movie he stars in, read his autobiography or watch a documentary about him. Focus can curb daydreaming, but building focus skills takes practice. Focusing is especially difficult when we are surrounded by buzzing electronics, all commanding our attention. David Rock, author of “Your Brain at Work,” said, “[the] brain’s reward circuit lights up when you multitask.” College students have hectic schedules and are prone to multitasking, especially when pressed with school and work. Rock recommends that “20 minutes a day of deep focus could be transformative.” This means deep focus on one task. I wouldn’t know what being focused most of the time feels like — I’ve never done it before. Here it goes. You can practice focusing by doing yoga, playing brain training games and meditation. At the risk of sounding like a rip-off Dale Carnegie, “Stop worrying, and start living.”

Protesters misstep by blocking coverage The University of Missouri’s flagship campus has been under media fire for its president and chancellor’s resignation due to pressure from students, faculty and athletes. Naturally, news coverage has exploded. Now, the very news coverage that helped Mizzou accomplish its goals, is also the same news coverage it’s trying to block. A video released Tuesday shows a perimeter of protesters blocking media from entering a tent city students had set up on the central quad of the campus. In the video, student photojournalist Tim Tai attempts to photograph the event. Protesters can be seen blocking his way, telling him to leave and even physically pushing him back. Melissa Click, assistant professor of communication at Missouri, is shown pushing a camera and asking for “some muscle” to help remove the journalist from the area. These events during the last few weeks have no doubt been important to the discussion of how racism is dealt with on college campuses and how such actions reflect the racism in this country overall. However, this should not be used as an opportunity to wage a war against the media. News organizations are responsible for documenting history and are expected to share the true accounts of events and stories of the people involved. Current students may not be thinking about this, but future students, who may at some point need to fight a similar battle, will look back on all of the reporting done on this event for reference. The resignations the groups wanted to see was in part accomplished because of the mass pressure garnered by the media. “I am documenting this for a national news organization,” Tai told protesters, also saying, “the First Amendment protects your right to be here and mine.” Tai was well within his rights to be at the protest. He should be applauded for the way he handled the advancing protesters. And what he was trying to do — document the events — was mimicked by several around him, who were taking videos with smartphones and sharing on social media. It is completely understandable why students and others involved wanted privacy. They’ve been fighting for their rights for years. However, if they wished to have such privacy, they should not be stationed in a public space after weeks of national media attention has put a spotlight on their campus. Campuses around the nation are watching Mizzou. They are watching how those tied to the university respond to the situation. This is not an isolated event. People will be looking back on this in history books as part of this country’s shift in attitudes toward people of different cultures. But no one would know about it without the media’s presence.

Wrestling shakes up 141 slot Cyclones decide to lift redshirt of Dante Rodriguez

Dante Rodriguez Illness Dante Rodriguez was scheduled to wrestle at Grand View last weekend but came down with a sickness. The Cyclones don’t want Rodriguez to overdo his season debut Thursday night. “He’s just getting over it now, and it’s had a little bit of an effect on his weight,” said ISU coach Kevin Jackson.

By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com ISU wrestling’s Dante Rodriguez will be trading in his redshirt for a red ISU singlet. ISU coach Kevin Jackson plans on lifting Rodriguez’s redshirt for the double-header Thursday against Midland and Boise State. The team was planning to save a year of Rodriguez’s eligibility by taking him out of competitions in his sophomore season. The decision comes after John Meeks lost at No. 6 Virginia Tech on Saturday in overtime, 3-1, at the 141-pound weight class. Pulling Rodriguez’s redshirt doesn’t mean Meeks has lost his starting spot, but, with back-to-back meets coming up on Thursday, it allows Rodriguez to show what he can do. He is ready for the chance. “[Jackson] asked if I was ready to get my [redshirt] taken off,” said Rodriguez, who will compete in the 141-pound weight class. “I told him I was ready whenever the opportunity came.” The decision to pull Rodriguez’s redshirt comes

early in the season because the Cyclones didn’t want to be forced to pull the redshirt down the road and miss chances for him to compete and make an impact. Iowa State will have a chance to redshirt Rodriguez next season, if it desires. Getting the team’s 10 best guys out on the mat is the most important thing, Jackson said. Rodriguez beat Meeks in the wrestle-off and, based off what

Meeks has done, Rodriguez might be the best option going forward. But don’t expect Meeks to roll over and give Rodriguez the spot. “[Rodriguez] might be the best guy, but [Meeks’ going to have something to say about it,” Jackson said. “It’s still in [Meeks’] hands where we go with him.” Jackson doesn’t know who will wrestle against Midland State or Boise State come Thursday, but Boise

State brings with it the No. 9 wrestler in the nation at 141 pounds: Geordan Martinez. He beat both Meeks and Rodriguez last year, but Meeks wrestled him much closer than Rodriguez, Jackson said. If Meeks gets the opportunity to wrestle Rodriguez this season, he has his game plan all figured out. “I just have to go out there and win,” Meeks said. “Just makes it that easy.” A win for Meeks against

the No. 9 wrestler at 141 pounds could solidify that spot for the Cyclones going forward. Rodriguez is recovering from an illness, so Meeks could get that opportunity when Thursday rolls around. No matter which opponent he wrestles, Rodriguez will be proud to don the cardinal and gold as he makes his season debut. “It’s always a great opportunity to put on a Cyclone wrestling singlet,”

Rodriguez said. “To go out there with the ‘I State’ on the front of your chest, be a face to the Ames community, the alumni of Iowa State — it’s a great opportunity.” Jackson is unsure which wrestler will be the starter going forward, but he does know whichever guy has the best opportunity to qualify for the NCAA tournament will be the one to wrestle at 141 pounds. “We are still in the challenge situation, but that will be determined within the next couple of days,” Jackson said. “It’s something that we have to seriously consider because you’re dealing with a couple athletes that really, really want to compete. It’s really sensitive. “They’ll both have opportunities, but we are looking for the guy who’s going to step up and wrestle the way we need them to.”

Volleyball watchful of potential upset Iowa State won’t overlook West Virginia

Goliath vs. David The Cyclones have been a juggernaut against lesser-ranked teams in the conference this year. They enter this match currently ranked third in the Big 12 with an 8-3 record in conference. One reason they have this record is because of their ability to put away teams early in matches. The Cyclones have only lost three total sets in their eight victories in the Big 12, and they have earned five of those wins in straight sets.

By Ryan.Leon @iowastatedaily.com A trap game is built around the idea that a team will look past a lesser opponent while focusing on a game or match that is two or three days away. This mentality has been producing upsets for years and is something of which the ISU volleyball team is aware. Iowa State (15-7, 8-3 Big 12) is preparing for a midweek matchup with West Virginia (5-18, 0-10 Big 12) that has all the makings of a trap game. Iowa State is coming off a big win at Texas Christian and sits third in the Big 12. “West Virginia is a tough team, and we’re playing down in their place,” said ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “They are easy to overlook with Texas coming later in the week, but we are going to play one match at a time.” The Cyclones swept

TCU and had their offense firing on all cylinders behind stellar performances from Samara West and Morgan Kuhrt. Both Kuhrt and West finished with 12 kills and hit more than .500 for the match. “We just wanted to be

competitive and kill any ball that came our way,” West said. “They do a great job of blocking, so we stayed hitting high to get over the top.” Iowa State could be in store for another offensive showcase against an WVU

defense that has been lacking all season. The Mountaineers rank dead last in the Big 12 in opponent hitting percentage and digs, which should provide openings for the Cyclones, who rank fourth in the conference in kills.

The Cyclones have also been serving the ball with precision recently, landing a high number of aces. Against TCU, Iowa State landed four straight aces to save its sweep in the second set, and that is just a small sample size. The Cyclones are leading the Big 12 in aces with 105 total at 1.46 per set. Their serves could prove lethal once again against a WVU defense that has allowed the most aces in the conference. “We’ve gone into games knowing we have a much better chance to win if we can keep them away from the net,” said Caitlin Nolan, who was responsible for back-to-back aces against TCU. “We just want to try and keep teams away from executing their game

plans.” One major issue the Cyclones will have to deal with is the hometown crowd of the Mountaineers. West Virginia has always boasted a quality homecourt advantage, even when its team isn’t at the top of the standings. The Cyclones got a taste of playing in a small, hostile environment last week against the Horned Frogs, so they will try to put the crowd away early again as they did in Fort Worth, Texas. “It’s always tough to go into Morgantown, it’s a big arena that they fill pretty well, but we are going to go in focused,” Nolan said. “We aren’t thinking about Texas right now. Our only goal is beating West Virginia.”

ISU defense needs to play complete game Consistency, tackling key for success By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Just by looking at the score of last weekend’s 52-16 loss at Oklahoma, it’s pretty clear that the ISU defense didn’t live up to expectations. But linebacker Jordan Harris disagrees. “It probably doesn’t look like it from the scoreboard, but we played pretty good defense at times,” Harris said. “Besides the trick play in the first half, they never drove the

field and scored on us. “For the most part we played pretty good defense.” Harris is right about one thing — the Sooners didn’t drive down the field to score. Their three first-quarter touchdowns came on just seven plays lasting a total of 90 seconds. The Cyclones allowed 279 yards on the ground and 405 through the air, combining for a total 684 yards. The Sooners completed 75 percent of their passes, averaging 16.2 yards per completion. Defensive coordinator Wally Burnham blamed, among other things, missed assignments and tackles. “We had a very

poor technique tackling,” Burnham said. “We had tackles at the line of scrimmage that they broke, and that’s inexcusable. We can’t have that. No team can have that.” The Cyclones have placed an added focus on tackling and coming up with stops in practice this week, but Harris said it’s not too much more than usual. “Were doing the same thing that we do, just having more emphasis on it,” Harris said. “We get coached on how to tackle the correct form every week, we just got to put more emphasis on it as a whole defense.” But on the bright side, the second quarter Saturday was easily the

best for the Cyclones defensively. They held the Sooners scoreless and forced two punts. The Cyclones also forced a fumble, which eventually led to a field goal. Harris said the main reason the defense found so much success in the second quarter was simply because everybody did their part. “Everybody was just doing their job, that’s all it is,” Harris said. “When everybody does their job, the defense will work real well. When everybody is not doing their job, teams will score on us quick.” The Cyclones couldn’t keep the strong defensive hold up much longer, though. On every drive but one in the

second half, Oklahoma found a way to put points up on the board, adding four touchdowns and a field goal before the end of the game. Without a stop in the second half, the strong defensive stand the Cyclones had in the second quarter essentially didn’t matter. Harris said the defense can’t let up like that again and that they are working to put together a stronger defensive game. “In order to be a good defense, you can’t just be good one or two drives,” Harris said. “You have to be consistent the whole game. That’s something we have to work toward as a whole.”

Photo Illustration: Iowa State Daily A recent report by the World Health Organization classified processed meat as a Group 1 carcinogen and red meat as Group 2A, a probable carcinogen for humans. However, experts say that these meats are fine in moderation.

Experts debate if meat causes cancer By Jenna.Hrdlicka @iowastatedaily.com The World Health Organization released a report last week on the possible cancer-causing properties of processed meat and red meat. The report classified processed meat as Group 1, carcinogenic to humans, and red meat as Group 2A, probably carcinogenic to humans. Processed meat, the most dangerous form, according to the report, is defined by the WHO as, “meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking or other processes to enhance flavor or improve preservation.” This includes hot dogs, sausage, beef jerky and canned

meat. Red meat refers to animal meat such as beef, pork and lamb. After the report was released, many people struggled to understand just how much this information would impact their current eating habits. Should people stop eating processed and red meat completely? “No,” said Ruth MacDonald, professor and chairwoman of the food science and human nutrition department. “People should not stop eating meat. This is not a new study; it’s a review of current literature in this area to try to understand the relationship between meat and cancer.” MacDonald explained that others have looked at

the same studies that this report was based on and have concluded that the correlations are not that strong. The findings of the study do not rise to the level of concern of the need to completely avoid meat. Meats do have some carcinogenic properties. However, processed meat has the highest amount of potential cancer-causing properties, especially meat that is smoked, according to the report. MacDonald recommended that smoked meat only be eaten once in a while in moderation, like all foods high in salt should. The way the meat is cooked may also have an effect on the level of carcinogenic properties, but the correlation has not been fully proven, according to

the WHO. In the grand scheme of things, the relative risk caused by the carcinogenic properties is small. MacDonald explained that almost everything we encounter in life exposes us to potentially dangerous elements. Planes, cars, cosmetics, food and even water all have the potential of exposing us to possible carcinogens. Everything is potentially dangerous, and there are better ways to help protect yourself against cancer than avoiding all possible risks. How should people react to this information? The most important reaction to have to this report, MacDonald said, is to know that moderation is key. She recommends balance. Eating

huge slabs of meat or bacon every day is not needed — indulging in foods like this is not a healthy, day-to-day diet. Eating a plant-based diet, with a variety of fruits and vegetables and some lean meat, is what people should focus on. Maintaining a healthy diet and being physically active is a better way to reduce your risk of cancer than cutting out everything with possible carcinogenic properties. Living a sedentary lifestyle and being overweight are far more likely to give you cancer than meat. By maintaining balance and a healthy lifestyle, people can still enjoy a few slices of bacon a couple times a month or the occasional steak without the worry of obtaining cancer.

New smoothie trend Smoothies get easy, healthy, photogenic By Katlyn.Campbell @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State Daily

It’s no shock that people love to snap pictures of their food to showcase on Instagram. There’s a new food trend that’s popping up on health-conscience Instagram accounts: the smoothie bowl. Known for its photogenic nature and easyto-make recipes, the base of this new fad is frozen bananas for a thick consistency followed by a choice of favorite frozen fruits and topped with a combination of superfoods for added visual appeal. It may look like a regular smoothie, but, rather than in a cup, it’s in a bowl. Likewise, the frozen bananas make the smoothie so thick it’s even referred to as ice cream in some Instagram captions. These smoothies are also eaten with a spoon rather than a straw. For more experienced smoothie connoisseurs, acai berries can be used as the base of the smoothie, and protein powders such as maca powder can be added. In order to get a pale yellow smoothie bowl, blend together pineapple, banana, coconut water and honey. For a green smoothie

Instead of ordering a pizza or cooking a frozen pizza, opt for homemade pizza. Use whole-wheat dough or a cauliflower crust to replace this popular dining option with a healthy alternative.

bowl, combine kale leaves, banana, avocado, almond milk and ice. A pink smoothie can be achieved by adding together raspberries, banana, soy milk, ice, almond butter and honey. An orange smoothie can be made by blending banana, carrot juice, dates and ice. Once the smoothie is made, next comes the toppings for decoration. These superfood toppings are known for being super dense in terms of nutrients. That means you get more nutrients per calorie. Chia seeds, full of fiber, antioxidants and omega-3s, are examples of these superfoods. They help control hunger, manage blood sugar levels and prevent heart disease. Another superfood is bee pollen. It contains about 40 percent protein; vitamins B, C, E, A, K; amino acids; antioxidants; essential fatty

Now that the temperatures have dropped, and it’s finally warmer inside than it is outside, people are reaching for warm and cozy comfort foods. When people are chilled and just wanting to warm up, the last thing one wants is a cold, fresh salad or chilled fruit and vegetables. People want something that’s going to warm them up from the inside, something hot, filling and satisfying. The meals are fine every once in awhile, but if excessively eaten, they can get a little less than healthy. Never fear, there are healthy comfort foods out there. Pizza Pizza is an easy and greasy comfort food. Favored by many, it’s unfortunately not the healthiest of choices. To combat this without completely giving it up, there are several things that are adjustable. Instead of ordering it or pulling a frozen one out of the freez-

acids; and a plethora of minerals. The bright yellow color of bee pollen is especially good for decorating smoothie bowls. For a red decoration in your bowls, Goji berries are essential. They taste like a mix between a raisin and cranberry, and they’re high in minerals, vitamins and phytochemicals, which help prevent diseases and amino acids. Another superfood is pumpkin seeds. They’re rich in carotenoids; zinc; sulfur; vitamins A, E, C, K, B; magnesium; and copper. They also help lower blood pressure and make it easier for the heart to pump blood. Smoothie bowls are here to better people’s health and brighten up their Instagram feeds. Some Instagram accounts to follow for inspiration are @wholeandhealthy, @ nutritionstripped and @ smoothiebowls.

er, opt for homemade. The doughy crust can become much healthier just by using whole wheat dough or even a cauliflower crust. Avoid the high-calorie and fattymeat toppings and instead use veggies. To go the extra mile, make the tomato sauce and sprinkle the pizza with a low-fat mozzarella. Burgers Although burgers are a summer barbecue staple, they are still eaten regularly in the cold winter months. Burgers are so diverse and unique these days. Some have peanut butter as a topping, while some even have grilled cheese sandwiches as the buns. There are also ways to enjoy a delicious burger without all the greasy guilt. Whole-wheat buns will be lower in calories and higher in nutrients. Turkey burgers or veggie burgers can replace the hamburger patty. Or simply pile the burger with favorite vegetable toppings and it’s good to go. Lasagna Lasagna is an amaz-

ing comfort food because of its warm gooeyness and carb overload. One big piece could land a person on the couch and contently napping for an hour. To cut down on the carbs, use strips of zucchini as the noodles. Toss in a few vegetables with homemade tomato sauce to make a much healthier version of the amazing Italian pasta dish. Now, it’ll take at least three big pieces to send someone couch bound. The cold months can be a threat to a healthy and fit lifestyle in terms of food, but there are so many healthy alternatives to the endless amount of comfort foods out there. Experiment by replacing the ingredients that can make certain foods unhealthy with other vegetables or nutritious options. Steamed vegetables such as broccoli or green beans are great warm side dishes too. A healthy diet is possible in the fall and winter when temptation calls, but mom’s best casserole can’t hurt every once in awhile.

Hindu students celebrate annual festival ISU organization observes Naraka Chaturdasi at MU By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com The Fountain of the Four Seasons, which rests in front of the Memorial Union, was lit with candles as ISU students celebrated a major Hindu holiday Tuesday night.

Naraka Chaturdasi is the second day of Diwali, a five-day long Hindu festival that is popular throughout India. Ruchir Goswami, president of Hindu YUVA and graduate student in mechanical engineering, said Diwali is celebrated by Hindus all over the world.However, it is a major holiday in India. “If you want to picture how it’s celebrated in India, consider Fourth of July and Christmas on the same day,” Goswami said.

Goswami said it is a time of reflection for those celebrating the festival, and lighting the diyas has a deeper meaning than some may know about. “It’s also a time when we try to remember that all of these virtues and darkness reside inside us,” he said. “So when we are lighting the diyas, it is a reminder that we have to bring light within.”

classes and the agricultural business group, Passe said swing dancing is one of her favorite memories with Garrett. “He’s very professional,” Passe said. “He can have fun, and he’s also really professional through his business as well.” Garrett also stays close with his family; in fact, he cites them as a major source of support and physical aid. While big orders often require his parents and brother to pitch in to complete, Garrett said his biggest fan and supporter is his grandfather. “He’s kind of instilled those values of hard work and dedication [in me],” Garrett said. A former county extension director, Garrett’s grandfather grew up on a farm and helped teach him about hard work through his garden. He also provided more tangible aid in the form of loans, Ethan Ley explained. “My grandpa, he helped Garrett kind of start up,” Ethan Ley said. “Right

Garrett Ley started G Pop’s Gourmet Popcorn in May 2014, and it has grown rapidly in the past year and a half. “He’s working on going corporate with it, which is exciting,” said Andrea Passe, senior in agricultural business and friend of Garrett’s. As he looks to expand his business, Garrett Ley has also had to refigure his priorities. He intends to graduate a year early and dedicate himself more fully to G Pop’s. Because of the advancement of his timetable, he’s not only increased his workload with the business but also with his courses. “I have a really heavy course load now on top of this business,” Garrett Ley said. “While I’m here, I want to get it done.” Among his friends, Garrett Ley is known for his professionalism but also for his ability to cut loose and have a good time.

While he is only legally permitted to manufacture his popcorn in the revamped barn, Ley is perfectly happy with that. He said he is more interested in manufacturing and selling to retailers than in selling directly to customers. “I want to pop, and I want to distribute, and I want to sell retail,” he said. Until then, G Pop’s goal remains customeroriented: Each package is flavored according to the customer, and each label is custom designed. “He wants to listen to what you want,” said Jeanne Rogert, customer and friend of Garrett’s. “He wants it to be right.” Rogert said she thinks that this attention to detail will help Ley become successful, but, the end result isn’t as important as the journey for Ley himself. “I want to see what I can do,” Ley said. “The way I think of it is, ‘Is it bad going from broke to broke? So what if this doesn’t work out? What do I have to lose?’”

As an international student from India, Goswami said he has very fond memories of celebrating the festival back home. “As children, it was an excuse for us to stay out all night,” he said. “We used to say, ‘Oh no, the light went out. We have to go back and make sure it is lit.’” There will be another event hosted for Diwali night, which will take place at 6:45 p.m. Wednesday in the Schilletter and University Village Community Center. The public is welcome to attend.

spite his father’s work as an engineer and his mother’s as a nurse. Living only five miles away, Garrett’s grandfather provided ample opportunity for him to become exposed to and interested in agriculture and entrepreneurship. He also encouraged Garrett to help neighbors on their farms and to learn more about working on one. On-campus, Garret said his biggest resource is the Agricultural Entrepreneur Group, a club of 12 to 15 students who are interested in establishing their own businesses. He also works at an agrotourism farm. This farm, which offers seasonal events such as a pumpkin patch, provided a location for G Pop’s after it outgrew Garrett’s family house. “Whoever knew the milkhouse on a dairy farm would be a popcorn production facility 30 years later,” Garrett Ley said. “You’ve got to start somewhere.”

regent prince whose wife was kidnapped by a demon king. The prince, who represents virtue, gathered an army of people to rescue his wife from the demon king, who represents darkness. According to the tale, there was an epic battle fought, and the side of evil was defeated. “That is why, even to this day, we go around lighting diyas,” Goswami said. “Just to remind us this is the day that virtue won over darkness. Or knowledge triumphed over ignorance.”
