REACHING UNDERSTANDING

BY THOMAS.HUGO @iowastatedaily.com

PETER LEMKEN/ IOWA STATE DAILY Many international students have a very differnt view of police officers before coming to Iowa State. Ames Police officer Dilok Phanchantraurai teaches international students about American trafic laws and police work, as well as other tips to adjust.

According to the Iowa State University Office of the Registrar, international students make up 11 percent of the student population. Out of the 36,321 students that attend Iowa State, 4,115 are from outside of the U.S.

She believes police are more approachable than she expected.

“When I came here, I realized that I really like police in Ames, especially ISU Police,” Azlan said. “They are really cool-I follow their Twitter account.”

Azlan said she likes how involved Iowa State and Ames Police officers are with the community.

“They do a lot of things in front of the library,” Azlan said.

“They are involved with a lot of people here.”

Roshan Kulkarni, graduate assistant in genetics and genomics, is an international student from India who also serves on ISC. He said that his biggest misconception about American police before moving to the United States was their supposed love for donuts, a notion exaggerated in the movies.

Kulkarni said he believes the main difference between American police and Indian police is their structure and technological capabilities.

Aiman Zulkefli, sophomore in electrical engineering, is a Malaysian international student who serves on ISC. He said that in Malaysia, the news portrays American police in a negative light.

“Mostly what I have seen is kind of on the bad side,” Zulkefli said.

Zulkefli said the most noticeable difference between American and Malaysian police is their response time.

“When you call [Malaysian police], you are calling a hotline-so it’s not immediately that the police will come to your house or respond to an incident. I’m kind of impressed by police here because they are really committed in helping other people,” Zulkefli said.

International students are now required to take University Studies 110 (U ST 110), International First-Year Experience Seminar.

Part of this course is a seminar taught by officer Phanchantraurai that teaches international students about American traffic laws and police work, as well as other tips about adjusting to American life.

What does this mean for police officers? How do international students perceive America’s law enforcement officers?

Ames Police officer Dilok Phanchantraurai was the first international officer to join the Ames Police Department. A former international student himself, Phanchantraurai decided to begin his career in law enforcement after receiving his doctorate and working as an international student adviser at Iowa State for seven years.

Before coming to Ames, Phanchantraurai said he had a very different view of police officers.

“From overseas, the perception[s] towards the police mostly are negative, and I’m speaking from my own experience in Thailand,” Pahnchantraurai said. “Coming from developing countries, the police are paid little to nothing in terms of their income, so corruption was a norm.” “[Citizens of other countries] don’t have trust in law enforcement,” Phanchantraurai said. “That is completely opposite from my own experience here. I’ve been in the U.S. about 21 years, it has been totally opposite, very positive. We here [in Ames], believe in community, we are a part of the community. When the community is safe, [police officers] are safer, too.

Some Iowa State international students also found a difference in their experiences with police between their home countries and the U.S. Amal Azlan, senior in geology, is a Malaysian international student serving on the Iowa State International Student Council (ISC).

Azlan said that her view of American police changed after moving to Ames.

“From the news and movies, mostly what I see is the violence.” Azlan said. “But that’s different with police in Ames.”

“When I first became a police officer, I noticed that some of our international students didn’t really know the proper way to interact with the police, especially during traffic stops,” Phanchantraurai said. “So I’ve been teaching classes to new international students coming to ISU for the past year and a half.”

Phanchantraurai said that international students may make mistakes such as getting out of the car and approaching the police vehicle, which can be perceived as threatening.

His class aims to provide students with clear information about what to do if they are pulled over or have an interaction with police.

“Some students get out of the car when they are pulled over, because that’s how they’ve been taught. They have to get out and go talk to the authority to show respect,” Phanchantraurai said. “But then from the U.S. [police officer’s] standpoint, you get out of the car, we don’t know if you come out with weapons.

Those are the things I have been teaching students. I believe that slowly, we are getting better, I am having fewer and fewer traffic stops where students don’t know what to do when they get pulled over.”

Phanchantraurai said that Ames Police officers receive training about working with minorities and people from different cultural backgrounds.

While the Iowa State Police Department hired a Mandarin-speaking officer, who is still undergoing officer training, language barriers can become an issue when dealing with international students, especially during something as timely as a medical emergency.

Phanchantraurai said that technologies such as Google Translate can help make simple exchanges much more efficient.

“We also have a resource where we can call a 1-800 number where trained staff can speak different languages, which we can rely upon,” Phanchantraurai said.

Phanchantraurai said international students are treated equally by the police in Ames, and aren’t more or less likely to get tickets or warnings due to their international status.

ALUMNI

Father, son engineers reflect

BY WILLA.COLVILLE @iowastatedaily.com

In 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak tested the first Apple computer, the Apple I. Less than a year later, an Iowa State alumni joined their engineering team.

Wendell Sander grew up on a farm in northeast Iowa but felt that farming was not his forte.

“I think that farming just wasn’t quite for me,” Wendell Sander said. “Even as a youngster I was interested in experimenting with things and building stuff. I really had different interests.”

Wendell Sander earned his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering at Iowa State in 1956, his master’s degree in 1962 and his doctorate in 1963. After graduating, Wendell Sander worked for Fairchild R&D, a semiconductor company in Silicon Valley, California. The last project Sander worked on there was creating a new kind of memory chip.

“I was looking of some way to test [the memory chip] in the real thing and I saw the Apple I computer. So I bought an Apple I computer and at that time there was just Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak,” Wendell Sander said. “If I needed to get software or if I had to have it fixed I would call their [customer service] number, which got you ahold of Jobs. So I got to know Steve Jobs through that.”

Wendell Sander met Jobs in 1976 when he demonstrated a Star Trek game he had designed for the Apple I. Less than a year later, Sander became the 16th employee for Apple Inc. About three months into working for Apple, the company wanted to build their engineering department. Wendell Sander became acquainted with Thomas Whitney while in graduate school at Iowa State, and recommended him to Jobs.

“When I was in graduate school, [my family and I] lived in Hawthorn Court which is married student housing,” Wendell Sander stated. “Tom Whitney and his wife were in the same housing group and of course we were both in electrical engineering at the same time. So I knew Tom pretty well.”

Wendell Sander stayed in contact with Whitney when he moved to California. He recruited Whitney to work for Apple in 1977, later becoming the vice president of engineering.

Whitney and Wendell Sander worked closely on the Apple II and other Apple projects. Wendell Sander also helped design the Apple III during his time at the company.

Wendell Sander’s son, Brian Sander, was born when Wendell Sander was in graduate school. Despite growing up in California, Iowa State was the only school that Brian Sander applied to. Brian Sander graduated from Iowa State in 1985 with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.

“Iowa State was an awesome place to go to school,” Brian Sander said. “I think [Iowa State] grounded me heavily in the fundamentals, which was really important.”

After graduating, Brian Sander worked for a small start up doing mainly lab work. He then joined his father’s startup and began to enhance his engineering skills.

While working for his father’s start-up, Brian Sander did contract work for Apple Inc. and became an employee in 1989. However, the time he spent working there was met with difficulty.

“Apple was still financially stable but was starting to show the cracks of what eventually became a pretty precipitous downfall.”

Brian Sander later took a hiatus from Apple, but returned in 2003 to work on the iPod. Wendell Sander returned to Apple during the time Brian Sander worked there. Together they worked on projects regarding the volume controls on Apple earbuds. These earbuds are still sold with all Apple computers.

PHOTO COURTESY OF WENDELL SANDER Iowa State alumni Wendell Sander and his son, Brian Sander both worked for Apple Inc. The father-son duo both studied engineering at Iowa State, crediting much of their successes to the university.

Both Brian and Wendell Sander credit Iowa State for their success. Tom Whitney passed away at age 47 in 1986, but his wife has since established a scholarship in his name at Iowa State and remains an active member of the Alumni Association.

“In a lot of cases [students] shouldn’t worry about what exactly they will be doing because it is more important who you are working with and who your mentors are going to be,” Brian Sander said. “I think that’s the key to getting a career jumpstarted– finding the right group of mentors to help and people to learn from.”

HOUSING

Rental Association push for enforcement

BY ALEX.CONNOR @iowastatedaily.com

ALEX CONNOR/ IOWA STATE DAILY Tony McFarland with the Ames Rental Association addresses Student Government with Sen. Ian Steenhoek (left) and Senior Director of Governmental Affairs Kody Olson (right) Nov. 1.

Earlier this year, the Iowa Legislature passed a law pitting Ames residents against each other.

On one side were landlords and property managers, breathing a sigh of relief that Ames can no longer restrict occupancy based on familial status. On the other side were neighborhood associations, fearful that without the ordinance, their neighborhoods and houses would become largely renter-occupied.

Caught in the middle? Students — unaware of the large impact their temporary presence has on Iowa’s laws and Ames’ ordinances on housing.

Working under a deadline of Jan. 1, 2018, the city has discussed limiting low-density residential housing based on student status, number of bedrooms and even parking spaces. Other issues have been raised, too, such as: Is the city taking a proactive or reactive approach to rental enforcement? Which is the better option?

As a way to better understand the issue of housing in Ames — specifically relating to rentals in single-family residential homes and neighborhoods — and its impact on students, the Iowa State Daily has created a series of articles looking at the issue that affects our city, our residents, our landlords and our students. This is the fifth article in that series.

Below are interviews with city, student and university officials and stakeholders on how rental housing directly, and indirectly, impacts them.

Should the city adopt an ordinance restricting occupancy in rental properties in Ames based on parking status, Tony McFarland fears it is unnecessary and goes against Iowa State’s claim as a walking campus.

McFarland, who works with the Ames Rental Association — a corporation comprised of people who own residential real estate within the city — said additional concerns include property rights of landlords.

Overall, McFarland feels the city should instead take a more proactive approach to rental enforcement instead of implementing more restrictions.

Occupancy concerns regarding rental properties have been a concern for many housing stakeholders this year, specifically after the state legislature passed

a law stating Iowa cities cannot limit occupancy based on familial status.

“The ordinance has existed in Ames for a long time, but it pits us against a few different requirements that landlords have,” McFarland said. “Such as, landlords are not allowed to ask familial status. But the city of Ames requires us to ask familial status to determine if somebody would be allowed to rent in a specific home.”

For years, he said, they have tried to implement a change within the city to get rid of the familial status requirement. In the spring, the state legislature overturned Ames’ ordinance with the legislation introduced by Rep. Chip Baltimore, R-Boone.

Sen. Herman Quirmbach, D-Ames, argued against the bill in its entirety, citing the occupancy ordinance was something Ames needed.

“I’ve been listening to people on occupancy and density issues for quite a long time,” Quirmbach said.

“The community does need to have some way to limit over occupancy.”

Quirmbach also opposed the legislation because he feels students will “lose long term” because of the deteriorating housing stock regarding over-occupancy, and that students would not save money by having more people in a house as landlords could just raise rents.

Quirmbach was also concerned that should the legislation pass — which it did — the city would not have enough time to prepare research for an alternative to the current ordinance.

Almost immediately, the city began to weigh its next step.

“I think the challenge for City Council now is to come up with some other way to regulate over-occupancy,” Quirmbach said.

In a four-hour workshop held mid-August, city officials invited Ames landlords, property managers and neighborhood associations to gauge what should be done next.

As to whether or not the city should regulate occupancy at all, the majority of landlords said no.

However, the neighborhood representatives said yes.

Should occupancy be enforced — the city officials found — the landlords were in preference of limiting occupancy by bedroom whereas the neighborhood associations preferred restriction by the number of people.

“We were expecting some [reaction from the city] but we were hoping they would just take it slow and just figure out: Do we need another ordinance here or not?” McFarland said. “So, we were hoping for nothing and let’s enforce the law — that’s part of the problem, enforcement in the city.”

Proactive enforcement, McFarland said, would be the most optimal for his association and the landlords it represents.

But as the conversation between city officials and stakeholders continued, a more hyper-focused regulatory idea began to form: restrict occupancy based on students.

At the Oct. 24 City Council meeting, the council moved away from the possibility of rental occupancy based on student status and instead toward an ordinance based off the number of bedrooms.

“We’re very happy with the shift from student regulation to just number of bedrooms, plus one,” McFarland said.

However, McFarland said they are displeased with the parking tie to occupancy.

“It creates a significant problem because this is a community that stresses our green initiatives,” McFarland said. “And then we want to tie someone’s ability to rent a property to their ownership of a vehicle?

That’s a big concern to us.”

While the city is still weighing its options on what is best — the Jan. 1, 2018 deadline of when Ames will have to abide by the state law looms closer. To buy more time, the council passed a six-month moratorium that restricts the ability for new rental units to be created in specific neighborhoods.

Then neighborhoods impacted include South Campus Neighborhood, West Side, Oakwood Forest, Old Edwards, College Creek, Oak Riverside and Colonial Village.

“We want neighborhoods to be in good shape. We want rental homes to be well taken care of,” McFarland said. “But… I think it is important to convey that we are not necessarily opposed to all regulation in general. There may be some occupancy regulations that make sense — according to square foot, for instance.

“There are ideas that we are open to discussing for occupancy, but like I said, our stance is first let’s do some proactive enforcement and let’s see if we even need another occupancy regulation.”

10 Signs You're The Parent’ Friend When Going Out

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Your purse is prepared for worse-case scenario and then some. Whether it be tissues, snacks, medical supplies or a different shade of lipstick - you are always prepared for a friend in need.

When it’s time for bar close you are running around like a hen counting her chicks.

One friend….Two friends….Three friends…Where’s Jen?!

You spend more weekends as the designated driver than you do getting lit. Seeing your friends around safely on a Saturday night is more fun than worrying about them.

You double check to make sure everyone has completed this weekend’s homework.

Because who really wants a mental breakdown at Sips on Friday night?

You’re the one who actually makes sure every friend makes it home safely without getting lost and/or arrested. Just because your friend says he’s going home doesn’t mean he actually is.

When attending a house party, you’re the one seeking out the house owner’s pets instead of socializing with all the cool people. Animals are nicer than people anyways.

Reminding your friends they don’t need that extra shot even though you know they are not going to listen to you. “Remember that eight-hour shift you have to work tomorrow morning, Monica?”

When your buddy picks a fight with a random stranger, you’ll passive-aggressively argue on their behalf until that friend slowly realizes they’re wrong. Or until they forget what they were arguing about, whichever comes first.

There have been a few times where you’ve had to help carry out a friend who just partied a little too hard. Although leaving them to fend for themselves sounds entertaining, you just don’t have the heart to do it.

Your friends know they can count on your parental instincts to guide them in the right direction. Like the next bar.

LETTER

Investing in our state’s future

BY CONGRESSMAN DAVE LOEBSACK When I was a child, my single-parent mother struggled with mental illness and wasn’t able to hold down a steady job. My family often struggled to get by, but when I was young I decided I was going to make something of myself.

And that is why I keep fighting.

PHOTO COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA COMMONS Congressman Dave Loebsack wants to ensure anyone who is willing to work hard as access to the same opportunities he had in order to succeed in today’s economy.

I have made it my mission to fight for the middle class and those struggling to get into the middle class. I want to ensure anyone who is willing to work hard has access to the same opportunities I had in order to succeed in today’s economy.

One of the most important factors in my success was having the opportunity to attend Iowa’s high-quality schools.

Access to a quality, affordable education is one of the greatest equalizers we have.

As a former teacher, I take the education of our future generation of leaders very seriously, and believe that a strong educational foundation for all students is vital for our country’s future competitiveness.

Various initiatives including loans, grants and tax credits have helped many Iowa students, including myself, to be able to afford a quality college education. It is a sad fact that for many, the

burden of loan debt can force college graduates to put their dreams on hold.

Unfortunately, the proposed Republican tax plan does nothing to make access to college easier. In fact, the Republican’s tax plan strips away longstanding initiatives that were created to help lower and middle-class students afford a college education.

For example, the tax plan calls for eliminating the Student Loan Interest Deduction. This would lead to 12 million student loan borrowers, including 178,020 students in Iowa, from no longer being able to deduct the interest they paid on their student loans from their taxes. In Iowa, the average borrower deducts $1,078 from their taxes each year.

Over the course of 10 years, the elimination of this deduction would increase the cost of college to borrowers by nearly $24 billion. I believe that Congress, instead of debating tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations, should be discussing how to make quality education more affordable.

Additionally, many graduate level students would face higher costs if the proposed legislation is passed into law.

The bill would repeal the qualified tuition

reduction, which subjects thousands of graduate students to a tax increase or tuition increase.

Congress should not proceed with an overhaul of our nation’s tax laws that slashes taxes for millionaires, billionaires and corporations at the expense of our students. The goal should be to increase access to college and support students when they are just beginning to look for a job. Cutting these deductions hurts everyday Iowans and tells our nation’s young people that their education and their future is not as important as making sure the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share in taxes.

In order to ensure our students are prepared for the future, I believe any tax plan should support and promote continuing education, whether it is at a four year school, community college, or at the graduate level. As this proposal moves through Congress, please be assured that I will fight to keep college as affordable as possible and ensure students are not punished for investing in their future.

Congressman Dave Loebsack represents Iowa’s Second Congressional District and resides in Iowa City.

EDITORIAL

Increase enforcement of FARA The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) is a pro-transparency law that requires the disclosure of information from individuals acting on behalf of a foreign government or party. Although this law has been in effect since the FDR administration, it has recently and repeatedly been in the news. The ISD Editorial Board believes that violations of this act is a growing threat to our democracy.

Paul Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign manager and Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser both reported their involvements in foreign campaigns to the Department of Justice only after it was discovered that they left it off their disclosure forms.

Trump’s business partner Richard Gates and Manafort have since been charged with violating the act. Now it’s an Iowa couple that is feeling the heat for not disclosing their financial relation with Saudi Arabia.

These revelations highlight what seems to be a growing issue of alleged foreign intervention in our policy making. A pro-Russian Ukrainian political party, Turkey and Saudi Arabia are all known to have paid U.S. citizens to lobby on their behalf. Prior to this year, the DOJ has only sought criminal charges for violations against the act seven times in the past 50 years.

Foreign influence in our democracy is unlikely to end in the near future if violators of FARA are repeatedly let off

the hook. Gov. Reynolds and President Trump should both act immediately to ensure that those found in violation of the act are removed from their positions.

In Reynolds’ case, the decision should be easy as the violators of the act are alleged to have misled veterans by not disclosing their funding source, which was Saudi Arabia.

These extraordinary allegations deserve answers. The public’s confidence in our democracy is faltering because of looming questions around foreign involvement at the highest levels of our government. Our elected officials and the DOJ must work together to restore the trust in our democracy and ensure that our country is free from undisclosed foreign intervention.

BASKETBALL

First road game tough test for Fennelly

Iowa State junior Bridget Carleton drives to the basket during the second half of the Cyclones’ exhibition game against Wisconsin-La Crosse on Nov. 5.

BY JACK.MACDONALD @iowastatedaily.com When the Iowa State women’s basketball team travels to Northern Iowa for a Tuesday night game, it’s a chance for a Fennelly family reunion. On the Cyclones’ side there is coach Bill Fennelly and his eldest son and assistant coach Billy Fennelly, then there is his other son, Steven Fennelly, an assistant coach for the Panthers.

It’s not the first time the three have been on opposite sides, but it is the first time that they face each other as in-state rivals. Even though there is a basketball game to be played, Bill Fennelly knows it will be hard to put the family affair on the back burner for 40 minutes.

“This game is never any fun and now it’s miserable to be honest with you,” Bill Fennelly said of facing UNI and Steven Fennelly. “It’s a weird deal to have one son with me and Steven at UNI now.”

Although the family reunion offers a new flare to the Cyclones’ early season schedule, one thing that has always been in Ames for their early portion of the schedule is complete dominance in their first five games of every season since 2012.

Since 2012, Iowa State has gone a combined 21-4 in its first five games of those seasons, but Tuesday’s game may not see the dominant Iowa State team that has been there in the past.

They are coming off a game where they squeaked out a win in their season opener against a South Dakota team that went 23-9 a season ago. And it doesn’t get any easier against UNI. Just like the Coyotes last season, the Panthers were a nineloss team en route to 24-9 record and a NCAA Tournament berth.

And if Iowa State’s 76-68 win against UNI last season is any indication to what Tuesday’s tilt is going to bring, it certainly sets up for a game that could be won by either team.

The only down side for the Cyclones is that they are without departed seniors Jadda Buckley and Seanna Johnson who led the team in scoring that game with 25 and 15 points, respectively. Instead, they have newcomers Bride Kennedy-Hopoate, Kristin Scott, Madison Wise and Rae Johnson, all of which played a meaningful role in the win over South Dakota.

“I wasn’t [expecting to play significant time against South Dakota],” Johnson said. “I enjoyed it. It was tough, but we pulled through.”

The size that overwhelmed South Dakota at times is certainly a threat against the Panthers as well, but it will need to be more consistent than last Friday’s game. The Panthers’ four tallest players stand at 6-foot-1, while Kennedy-Hopoate stands at 6-foot-4 and Scott at 6-foot-3, along with Meredith Burkhall.

“It needs to play a bigger factor than it’s been playing,” Fennelly said. “Our inside game has not been very good. We’ve gotta coach it better, we’ve gotta play it better and it’s only an advantage if you play hard, angles are good and our post players can’t turn the ball over 12 times.”

Despite the size advantage, Bill Fennelly pointed out that it’s harder to play as a post player when the opposing player is significantly smaller.

Post play will certainly be a key factor when the Cyclones take the court without senior guard Emily Durr for the first time. Durr, who was injured in the season opener after she hyperextended knee, will be forced to sit out for at least this game.

“The one that is a senior and sort of knows our systems is going to be an assistant coach,” Bill Fennelly said. “We’ve just got to limit the decisions that Rae [ Johnson] has to make, that Nia [Washington] has to make.”

With or without their senior leader, the nine other players know that it’s a must win game against a talented Northern Iowa team.

“Obviously losing Emily [Durr] is huge,” said junior guard Bridget Carleton. “Her leadership and just her experience and her calmness on the court we’ll miss a lot, but I think Rae [ Johnson] and Nia [Washington] are ready to step in and get playing time.”

ReACT Gallery uses art to talk about water

MELANIE VAN HORN/ IOWA STATE DAILY Water is the subject of the ReACT gallery’s latest exhibition at Morrill Hall. Visitors are encouraged to respond and act based on their experience at the exhibit.

BY MELANIE.VANHORN @iowastatedaily.com Water is a powerful, unpredictable element.

While it’s essential to life, it also possesses the power to destroy, as seen with the violent floods that hit Iowa in 1993 and 2008, or the recent devastation of hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. University Museums’ latest ReACT gallery exhibition is a way for Iowa State students and Ames community members to recognize the role of water through art and respond through action.

“We want it to be an open space to talk about how art and water and Iowa State go together,” said Savanna Falter, intern with University Museums.

“Water” is the second of four themes planned for the ReACT gallery this year. The theme was selected in advance, but the exhibit evolved as different water-related events and disasters occurred.

One event that inspired this theme for the exhibit was the 40 year anniversary of a conference held at Iowa State. In 1977, a Saudi Arabian prince proposed that Antarctic icebergs be used to supply water to his country.

He brought an Alaskan iceberg to Ames as part of an iceberg utilization conference, and the event drew national and international media attention.

Although the proposal was declined, the

use of icebergs as a water source is again being proposed.

“Saudi Arabia is proposing it again, and their reasoning is that the ice is already melting, which is horrible,” Falter said.

An in-depth lecture on this topic will be held on 7 p.m. Nov. 15 at in Morrill Hall.

Other topics in the exhibit include Standing Rock, the fame of Ames tap water, the historic 1993 floods and the effect of Hurricane Maria.

Most of the captions to the works of art were written by faculty and students at the university.

“We really wanted people to react to the pieces while using their own research,” Falter said.

According to Falter, many guests are drawn to Josh Simpson’s piece “Megaplanet.” Made from over 50 pounds of blown glass, the work depicts multiple layers of sky, earth and water.

“It’s pretty intense,” Falter said. “This piece is especially aquatic, with all the different layers of the ocean.”

What makes the ReACT gallery different from other University Museum spaces is that the exhibit offers specific ways for visitors to respond to the artwork. On one wall, there are resources for Ames community members to investigate their water usage and conserve water in daily life. The exhibit also contains an anonymous coloring wall where people can express their opinions about climate change.

The exhibition runs until Nov. 17.

WE’RE the editors of Our Iowa magazine, and we could use some help.

We have over a thousand leftover copies of our hard-cover book (at left). It’s filled with full-color pictures and warm stories shared by Iowans. It’s a great “coffee-table book”.

We’re getting ready to do a second edition of this book. But…what should we do with all these leftovers of the first edition?

We decided people in Iowa retirement facilities would love paging through this book! $20.00 Gift Card So we’re going to give all these copies free to retirement facilities across Iowa.

But…How Do We Get Them There? We are asking you and other ISU students to help us. Instead of paying to ship the books, we’ll pay you to take 25 copies to your Iowa community.

We’ll give you a $20.00 Casey’s gift card…if during your next trip home you and/or your parents will drop off copies of these books at several senior centers in your home area. The card can be used for gas, pizza or snacks at any Casey’s store. (See $100.00 bonus offer below.)

For Details: Stop at the Reiman Gardens headquarters any time between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Mon.-Sat. this week, Oct. 30-Nov. 4.

We’ll briefly explain what’s expected of you, then give you a box of 25 books and the $20.00 Casey’s gift card. $100.00 BONUS! After this program is complete on Dec. 1, we will draw three names from all those who participated…and those three students will receive a $100.00 Casey’s gift card!
