ISU student present for Paris attacks By Makayla.Tendall, @iowastatedaily.com ISU student Emily Wright was in Stade de France for the Parisian soccer match against Germany on Friday when a bomb went off outside the stadium during the first half of the game, the start of a terrorist attack against France’s capital city. “We heard a really loud ‘boom’ noise,” Wright said. “I thought it was fireworks or cannons or something related to the game. It wasn’t until sometime in the second half that one of my friends messaged me and said there was a shooting in a restaurant. And that’s when we pieced together that those really loud noises were bombs.”
Wright, who is studying abroad this semester in the ESSEC Business School in Cergy, France — about a 40-minute train ride from the heart of Paris — was in the middle of a terrorist attack, later to be discovered as brought on by members of ISIS, President Francois Hollande said. Hollande was in the stadium at the time of the attacks, too, The New York Times reported. After the suicide bomb detonated outside of the stadium at about 9:20 p.m. in France on Friday, American rock band Eagles of Death Metal were playing in one of this city’s popular music venues, the Bataclan, for about an hour when four men with AK-47 assault rifles entered the concert. Some shouted “Allahu akbar” before they
opened fire for about 20 minutes, The New York Times reported. Those who were not killed in open-fire were held hostage for two hours before police advanced, killing one gunman after the three others blew themselves up, according to French television stations. In total, three suicide bombs were detonated outside of the stadium, shootings occurred at four different restaurants and 89 were killed in the concert shooting. The death toll for victims at the concert totaled 129 people as of Sunday afternoon, according to The New York Times, with more than 350 people wounded and 99 of them in critical condition. It wasn’t until after the game when Wright and her friends began to leave the stadium that she found
out the loud noises they heard were bombs. Wright said she was walking toward the stadium exits when people started rushing back into the stadium. “I didn’t know what they were running from, and that just kind of freaked everyone else out,” Wright, senior in accounting, said. “My friends and I just took off running away from the exit. I don’t even have words to describe. It was the scariest moment of my life because I didn’t know who they were running from or what they were running from, but we stayed in the stadium for a little bit longer.” She said they were able to leave the stadium through certain exits, but the streets were filled with Parisians consumed with panic and fear.

DEMOCRATS BATTLE THROUGH
ROUND TWO DEBATE Clinton, Sanders, O’Malley lay out differences on Wall Street, guns, education
By Michaela.Ramm and Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com DES MOINES, Iowa — Democratic candidates for president came out swinging Saturday night, with Sen. Bernie Sanders and Gov. Martin O’Malley launching attacks on front-runner Hillary Clinton’s ties to Wall Street her and foreign policy against international terrorism. The second Democratic debate took place on the campus of Drake University, with CBS
News’ “Face The Nation” anchor John Dickerson moderating. CBS News reporter Nancy Cordes, KCCI-TV anchor Kevin Cooney and Des Moines Register political columnist Kathie Obradovich also questioned the candidates on a wide range of issues. The debate stage was smaller this time around, with Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee missing after dropping out from the race. Clinton was center stage, with Sanders and O’Malley on each side. Foreign policy opened the debate in light of the terrorist attacks in Paris that killed more
than 120 and injured hundreds just 24 hours before the debate. Clinton opened the discussion on ISIS, saying the United States does not need to undertake the bulk of effort against the terrorist group. Instead, she said the United States should arm and train its allies, particularly in the Middle East, where the group is most prominent. This is not an American fight, she said, but American leadership is essential.

Democratic candidates flock to Ames after debate By Alex.Hanson and Michaela. Ramm @iowastatedaily.com Less than 24 hours after Saturday’s Democratic debate in Des Moines, Hillary Clinton and Martin O’Malley were in Ames Sunday to fire up central Iowa Democrats at a fall barbeque event. Around 560 activists and supporters of the candidates gathered at the Hansen Agriculture Student Learning Center on the Iowa State University campus. The event was sponsored by the Boone, Hamilton, Hardin and Story County Democrats and the ISU College Dems. Presidential hopefuls Clinton and O’Malley made the stop in Ames the day after the Democratic Debate that took place at Drake University in Des Moines, which raked in 8.5 million viewers on the CBS television network. Former President Bill Clinton made a surprise appearance at the event, thanking Clinton supporters and saying it was “great” to be back in Ames. He also said “he would probably vote for Hillary” after being back on the campaign trail. Hillary Clinton, the first can-

didate to speak, started out similar to Saturday night’s debate — on international terrorism and the threat of ISIS, in light of the recent attacks on Paris that killed over 130 and injured hundreds. “The attack in Paris, the city of light, reminds us that there is no middle ground in going after these terrorists,” she said. Clinton stood by her stance from the debate, saying it was key for the United States to lead the fight, but to pull American allies from the Middle East into the fray.
“As I said, I know America has to lead it but we cannot and should not do it alone,” Clinton said. At the debate, O’Malley and the third Democratic candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders, went after what they said was an overly aggressive foreign policy, specifically citing her vote in favor of the Iraq war. Clinton pivoted to domestic policy, and she repeatedly praised President Obama’s administration

In Daily interview, candidate discusses strategy, education By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Don’t count out Bobby Jindal. The Louisiana governor said recent polls showing him neckand-neck with top-tier candidates such as Jeb Bush is a result of his ground game in Iowa — visiting all 99 counties before February’s Iowa Caucus. In a phone interview Friday
afternoon with the Iowa State Daily, Jindal said his campaign deliberately made Iowa a focus, thus many events with caucus-goers is resulting in growing support statewide. “One of the things that sets our events apart is that we wait until the last person gets to ask the last question, often times as long as three hours,” Jindal said. “We are seeing an increase in the polls; we’re now in the top five.” Jindal — the former two-term congressman turned two-term governor — was once seen as a rising star in the GOP, even delivering the response to President Obama’s

The MacKay Hall sign that was stolen earlier this fall has been returned, the ISU Police Department said. The sign was reported missing to ISU Police earlier this month after being stolen sometime between Aug. 25 and Oct. 23, said Carrie Jacobs, deputy chief
with ISU Police. ISU Police quickly turned to social media to assist in tracking down the sign. Jacobs said they were able to get the sign returned by two individuals who were not believed to be responsible for taking the sign. Jacobs also said social media played a big role in getting the sign back. “I think it was a big role. I think that was a very big role. We greatly ap-
preciate it,” Jacobs said. “From our Facebook page to the media pushing it out, I don’t think we would have gotten the sign back without [social media].” Jacobs said the investigation into who took the sign to begin with is still ongoing. If you have any information on who may have taken the sign you can contact ISU Police at their 24-hour dispatch number, 515-294-4428.

Stabalizing a relationship
Students design structure of species’ habitats By Ashley.Green @iowastatedaily.com
Architecture students recently took on a project that challenged them to engage sight and nature in a meaningful way. The third-year architecture studio, taught by Leslie Forehand, lecturer in architecture, observed four different species that can be found locally at McFarland Park. After engaging with an employee of the park, 16 students individually designed spaces that would realign the human connection with North American river otters, smoky winged beetle bandit wasps, sedge wrens and Indiana bats. Each of the species has what could be seen as an unstable relationship with humans. “Wasps are typically perceived as bad, but there has been this ongoing Iowa surveillance utilizing these specific wasps because they kill a beetle that kills all of the ash trees,” Forehand said. The bats, sedge wrens and otters face habitat destruction by humans. Students designed their spaces during the sevenweek project with inspiration from both their species and other architects. “[Students] looked at the species’ architecture, then found architecture building methodologies that aligned with that sort of building aesthetic,” Forehand said. Brett Adams, senior in architecture, created his structure based on the

wasps. The building mimicked the way wasps burrow in the ground to catch and store beetles. “A lot of people incorporated the actual sanctuary in their building, very specifically, I did not do that,” Adams said. The structures could be a haven for the species or simply be designed to represent the species’ building methods. Each student took the project in a different direction.
Joe Hiestand, junior in architecture, focused on the way the otters build their habitats when designing his structure. “I kind of got inspired by the playfulness of the otter, the digging out that the otter does,” Hiestand said of his design. The structure was designed to be near a lake similar to how an otter’s nest would be by water. Students displayed their proposals in a “Structure of Species” exhibition at McFarland Park on Friday.

Dining forums proceed
Student named FFA officer

A candidate for the vacant director of ISU Dining position visited campus Friday for interviews and an open forum with students. The forum was the second of four for the director position and featured candidate Gayle Hanson. Hanson, senior food service director for Aramark, a food service supplier for Bradley University, Hamline University and Lock Haven University, emphasized college students’ desire for exotic and bold flavors in their dining options. She said she plans to incorporate these new themes through the use of mobile food trucks serving various cuisines. Campus food trucks have become a popular trend across the nation, and universities such as Brown and Columbia enjoy Belgian waffle and vegan ice cream options. “Food trucks are a popular option among students today; they can add mobility and flexibility to campus dining options,” Hanson said. Hanson also mentioned the importance of having more options that
would add convenience to a busy student’s life. This includes enhanced mobile and online ordering, centrally-located food kiosks from which students could place orders for a dining center and menu-friendly website integration. “The question is can we provide a better customer service experience and get the food to customers through giving more payment power to them?” Hanson said. Hanson said nut and gluten allergies, along with health-based food choices such as veganism, have the tendency to make students feel alienated and limited. She plans to fix this common issue by providing opportunities for students of all religions and limitations. “We need to provide peace of mind for those who have needs, so they can walk away and think how great it was that we took care of them,” Hanson said. “Food is a way to bring communities together, it’s part of our daily lives, and inclusion of all people leads to a strong program.” Issues brought forward during the Q&A included dealing with labor unions, strategic planning for machine repair and collabora-
tion between ISU Dining workers and the campus community. Speaking on behalf of the ISU meal plan system, something Hanson believes can never be perfect and needs to be under constant monitoring, she compared student value shopping at Aldi and Wal-Mart with the need for a meal plan value. Hanson suggested implementing a way for staff to be able to talk with students and create transparency about dining operations as well as meal plan value, so students can stretch their dollar as much as possible. Hanson also talked about the recent struggles of the ISU Dining program as a whole and the financial responsibilities that come with a large university. “When compared with my competition, I don’t have as much experience with large budgets, but you just have to break it all down,” Hanson said. “Managing a $1 million in a checkbook is really no different that dealing with say $1,000 in my checkbook, it’s just on a bigger scale.” Dining director open forums will resume with Mohamed Ali, who will speak at 11 a.m. Thursday at the Memorial Union.
It’s not every day a student becomes a national officer for a leading agricultural organization. Each year, six individuals are selected to serve as a national officer for the National Future Farmers of America Organization, and this year one of those individuals is a student in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Iowa State. Abrah Meyer, sophomore in agricultural business, was chosen to be the central region vice president at this year’s National FFA Convention in Louisville, Ky. Meyers said her entire FFA career had helped her prepare and get ready for the interview process and this role. Meyers became inspired to become a national officer when she was a district FFA officer in northeastern Iowa and had the opportunity to hang out with a national officer. “[The national officer] had such a big heart that she used to connect with people and inspire
them to become more,” Meyer said. Meyer said she never thought that becoming a national officer would become a reality, but she said she has been working toward it for her entire life. “I have the foundation of support from everyone, including my parents who taught me to achieve but stay grounded as a person, so that I can serve FFA members all across the nation with a full heart,” she said. The application and interview process to become a national FFA officer is both long and tedious. The process begins with an application with basic information, past FFA involvement and two essays. The next step of the process includes seven rounds of interviews at the National FFA Convention. Throughout the interview process, applicants were quizzed about agricultural issues, leadership education and were asked a number of personal questions. Meyer summed up the interview process with two questions — “Who is
Abrah Meyer?” and “Why should she serve as a national officer?” “People really invested in me and now I get to invest into other people,” Meyer said. She wants to serve as an officer to carry out FFA’s mission, which is to make a positive difference in the lives of students. “I want to help members find their purpose,” Meyer said. “There are so many positive people in my life, it’s my time to be that positive person in someone else’s life.” Meyer had the opportunity to hear former Olympic figure skater Scott Hamilton speak at a previous National FFA Convention. Meyer said one of her many favorite leadership quotes came from Hamilton’s speech. “The only disability in life is a bad attitude,” Hamilton said during the event. Meyers said everyone is capable of serving and making someone better off in their life than they were before. Meyers also said everyone should take on a new challenge.
Five students become ‘voices of farmers’ By Casey.Campbell @iowastatedaily.com For most people, corn is just a vegetable. For some students on campus, corn has many potentials and is capable of leading them to a successful career. The Iowa Corn Growers Association and the Iowa Corn Promotion Board are grassroots organizations that promote corn, all of its uses, and influence policy for the farmers in Iowa. The Iowa Corn Growers As-
sociation picks college students every year from every agricultural college in the state to serve on an advisory team. This year, 18 students from Iowa were picked to serve on the Iowa Corn Collegiate Advisory Team. Among those 18, five were from Iowa State — Trent Taglauer, sophomore in agricultural business; Warren Bailey, senior in agronomy; Michael Barr, sophomore in agricultural business; Mikayla Edwards, junior in animal ecology; and Kaitlin Ihns, a junior in agricultural studies.
Students serve as ambassadors for the Iowa Corn Production Board and the Iowa Corn Growers Association. Haley Banwart, senior in agricultural and life sciences education and a member of the 2014-15 team, said the students are a “voice for farmers” to discuss important issues in the agriculture industry. Some of those issues could include membership in Iowa Corn, checkoff dollars, research on corn and the industry and cellulosic ethanol, the biofuel produced from plants.
Banwart said the most important aspect of being a member on the 2014-15 team was networking. She said she had the chance to meet staff members from Iowa Corn and people all across the industry. “[The program] focused on Iowa Corn but is much more than that,” Banwart said. “By being on the team I got to learn more about the industry and agriculture in Iowa.” The new members for this upcoming year will have the opportunity to attend events such
as the Iowa Corn 300, State FFA Convention and the Commodity Classic. Attending the different events and recruiting members are important aspects of being on the team. Barr said the team will also have the chance to make a commercial to impact the industry in a positive way. “Being on the team is a good chance to advocate for agriculture in Iowa — to impact farmers and be the voice they need for policy, and to promote corn for the industry.”

and going after former President George W. Bush. She praised the Affordable Care Act, while calling for more reforms to help the middle class “get ahead.” She also said she was the only candidate on debate stage that “committed” to raising middle class wages, and not taxes, a thinlyveiled shot at Sanders, who some has said would have to raise taxes on the middle class to pay for programs. Clinton focussed on students directly, saying they should not “have to borrow a dime” when going to college. Clinton got a standing ovation when she said she would “stand up” for Planned Parenthood funding, protect abortion rights, defend marriage equality and non-discrimination laws and protect voting rights. She also pledged to overturn “Citizens United,” a Supreme Court decision that allows corporations to give large sums of money to political campaigns. Sanders has made campaign finance reform a centerpiece

2009 State of the Union. But since launching his 2016 campaign in July, the first Indian-American to run for the nation’s highest office has struggled to break 1 or 2 percent in national polls. He has been stuck in the lower-tier debates, but the policy wonk side of Jindal had made him stand out. In last Tuesday’s FOX Business Republican debate, Jindal went after fellow Republican Chris Christie for his economic record as governor of New Jersey. Christie instead opted to attack Hillary Clinton. “I want it to be an actual debate,” Jindal said. “You can give one liners about Hillary Clinton — and I think we all agree we don’t want her to be president — but the reality is, I think it’s important that we elect a Republican to cut the size of government.” Jindal said he “doesn’t blame” Christie for not defending his record, and that he is the only candidate running who has actually cut the size of government. “If they haven’t done it in their states, why should we expect them to do it in D.C. when we send them there?” Jindal asked. “It only gets tougher, not easier.” The GOP hopeful also talked about his stance on higher education, why younger voters who are
plank of his campaign. To the delight of those in attendance, Clinton also put an Iowa spin on her speech, calling out Republican Gov. Terry Branstad for his plan to privatize the state’s Medicare system. O’Malley was second to speak, kicking off by saying the U.S. should strengthen social security and pass immigration reform. O’Malley was critical of his Democratic opponents during the speech, going after Clinton once again on her ties to Wall Street. Clinton took some heat for her
answer during the debate, invoking the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in 2001 as one of the reasons she was close to Wall Street. He said her answer was a way to “sadly mask” her ties to Wall Street, adding as president, she would follow the advice of economists who have advocated economic policies favorable to big business. Bill Clinton called attacks on Hillary’s 9/11 answer “a stretch.” He also went after Sanders for his record on gun control, and opponents
have went after him repeatedly for past votes while in Congress. However, O’Malley did praise President Obama for his actions during the economic recession, saying he will build on the accomplishments of the Obama administration. O’Malley’s plan to improve upon the U.S. economy includes raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, as well as guaranteed equal pay. Both O’Malley and Clinton also praised Iowa’s effort to move toward clean energy, with the increasing prominence of wind energy and other alternative sources of electricity. O’Malley also spoke on climate change, a topic that has been a common theme among the Democratic candidates during this campaign election. He called climate change “the greatest business opportunity in the United States” and said he will move to have a clean energy gridlock in the U.S. by 2050. Cornel West, a civil rights activist, spoke on behalf of Sanders at the event.
often more accepting on social issues should consider a socially conservative candidate and his elevator pitch on why he’s best for students. Education Jindal has been an outspoken opponent of Common Core — standards established for K-12 schools nationwide — but has been relatively quiet on higher education policy. Jindal said the student debt problem translates into a problem for the economy — as those crippled with debt after college are discouraged from starting a family or buying their first home. He said government should first end their “monopoly” on student loans and said if students are able to get loans from places such as banks or credit unions, competition in the private market will allow students to get loans at lower interest rates. He said he would also “break up the accreditation monopoly.” “I don’t think there is enough competition, in part because the Department of Education has limited competition,” Jindal said. “I think more competition [would help].” For example, Jindal said students should be able to earn credit for things such as military service, and mentioned being able to earn more credits online or easily transfer credits between
institutions. He also said stagnant wages contributes to the problem, and with a high unemployment rate among teens, comes a big problem as tuition continues to rise. While Jindal said he would like to see the federal government play a smaller role in education, he did mention state-level programs, including one in Louisiana that allows the state to pay for tuition if students achieve a certain GPA and ACT score. As for free tuition, which is being proposed by Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, Jindal said it sounds “pleasing,” but in reality, “nothing is free.” Social issues “I’m proud to be in a party that’s both socially and fiscally conservative,” Jindal said. “The issue is going to be how do we treat people we disagree with? I’ve argued that I’m for treating people with respect whether we agree with them or not. I’m not for discrimination against anybody. But I think in the presidential debate, you’ve got to find a candidate you agree with on most issues and who you think will do the best job moving our county forward.” Jindal said it is likely the next Republican candidate will be both pro-life and for traditional marriage, and that it is unlikely voters will find a candidate they agree with on 100 percent of the issues.
“I hope students, whether they agree with me 100 percent of the time or not, will look at my record and hear my ideas,” Jindal said. “I think you’ve got to look for someone, even though you don’t agree with them on everything, that treats everyone with respect and with compassion.” Elevator pitch for students “This is the most important election of our lifetime,” Jindal said. “I think I’m the most qualified to be the next president for two reasons. One, I’ve got the proven results; I’m the only one who has cut government spending and grown the economy. “Second, I’m one who will go to D.C. and fight for all of us. I’m going to fight the establishment in both the Democratic and Republican parties to make sure our best days are still ahead of us,” he said. Jindal continued, adding that current students have a real stake in the 2016 election. “Our students have the most at stake in this election, and whoever they vote for, I hope they will participate and get involved,” Jindal added. “I’ve asked them to support us because I want them to believe in America again.” Jindal will be in Ames on Thursday for a town hall meeting at 11:30 a.m. in the Campanile Room of the Memorial Union.

Columnist Heckle believes that creationism has no place in science because it relies on the principle that evolution is untrue without scientific fact.
Baseless beliefs
Creationists’ claims offer no evidence to disprove evolution Editors Note: This column is part two in a series of columns about how creationism has negatively affected the scientific world and the United States. By Michael.Heckle @iowastatedaily.com
T
he basis of the creationism argument either stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of evolution and science, or a literal interpretation of Holy Scripture. Arguments made by creationists contain misrepresentation of evidence, blatant lies and unfalsifiable claims — not able to be tested — which would exclude them from the category of scientific evidence. Creationism itself relies on the principle that evolution is untrue. Instead of providing evidence for the claims they are making that God created the world in six days around 6,000 years ago, creationists spend most of their time attempting to disprove evolution. One of the most common objections made against evolution is that it doesn’t explain the origin of life, and that is absolutely true. Evolution does not claim to explain the origin of life or the origin of the universe. That particular field of research is called abiogenesis. Evolution attempts to explain the diversity of the life on the planet. This is why Darwin’s first book on evolution is called the “Origin of Species,” and not the “Origin of Life.” This kind of fundamental misunderstanding of
what evolution describes only goes to show that most creationists don’t even bother to look at theories that conflict with their preconceived religious notion. Whatever guise this blatant refusal of knowledge is hidden behind is in no way scientific. Furthermore, creationists then use this misconception to perpetuate their baseless claims. Since evolution cannot explain the origin of life, this means creationism is a better explanation even though creationists don’t provide any real evidence. In this case, the difference between science and creationism seems to be that science isn’t afraid to say, “We don’t know.” What’s even more ridiculous than the misunderstanding of the principles of evolution is the assumption that Charles Darwin is some sort of God-like, ultimate authority on evolution, which has created rumors that Darwin recanted his theory of evolution on his death bed. Although these rumors have no basis in fact, even if they were true, they would do nothing to the theory of evolution. Darwin helped fuel the theory of evolution through natural selection, but thankfully science has advanced in the last 150 years. This includes one of the most compelling pieces of evidence for evolution: DNA. “In the last 30 years, we have become so good at being able to obtain DNA sequence level data,” said Jim Colbert, associate professor of ecology, evolution and organismal biology. “We can get the genome of humans and other species and compare them. We have the computational resources to do those types of comparisons. Evolution is written in the genes. Organisms that are closely related have closely related DNA sequences and those that aren’t closely related don’t
— it’s amazing. “It’s particularly amazing to think that Darwin, and others who were trying to work on this question, at the time they came up with this theory DNA wasn’t known about. It’s a completely independent line of evidence that the early folks, who were saying here’s how diversity arises, knew nothing about and yet, today, when we can actually make those kinds of measurements and those kinds of comparisons, they support evolution remarkably.” Creationists not only lack an understanding of evolution but also other scientific principles. Creationists often use the Second Law of Thermodynamics in an attempt to disprove evolution. This law claims that entropy, or disorder, increases in a closed system. Creationists then claim that because disorder increases over time the order required for evolution would be unobtainable. Creationists seem to forget that the Earth is not a closed system. Our planet receives constant energy input from the sun, making it an open system. This means the Second Law of Thermodynamics does not apply. These arguments represent only a portion of the misunderstandings of creationists. Supporters of this world view don’t seem to realize that attempting to prove another position wrong does nothing to make theirs truer. Creationists have the idea that if evolution is untrue, the automatic position must be “God did it.” This is not only an enormous leap — as nothing about our natural world suggests anything about a god — but also a complete failure. The reliance on a misunderstanding of evolution is evidence enough that creationism has no place in science.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Paris attacks could lead to greater threat By Sarah Ashby, Sophomore in pre-liberal studies In the wake of this most recent tragedy in Paris, I cannot help but worry about the fate of the upcoming United Nations
Climate Summit that will take place in Paris in just a few short weeks in which world leaders will be meeting “to create a global agreement to cut the greenhouse gas emissions that are driving climate change. This is such an important meeting not only for this nation
but also for the future of our planet. My worry is that the Summit will be cancelled for obvious safety and security reasons, and I’m afraid that discussing climate change will take backseat to yet another war. While I fully understand the importance of standing behind France at this
time and protecting our country from such immediate and ruthless danger, I am more than terrified that we will now become so preoccupied with this war on terrorism that we will fail to make the changes necessary to protect humanity from an even greater threat: ourselves.
Pipelines essential to dynamic economy By Brittany Gaura, Junior in political science With two high-profile crude oil pipelines currently making headlines, I believe it’s an important topic to discuss. The president’s rational for his recent rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline, after seven years of review, has not quite convinced me he’s made the correct decision. The U.S. State Department even concluded in its extensive reviews that the greenhouse gas effect from constructing Keystone XL would be negligible,
and that modern pipelines are a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to transporting energy than by rail. As soon as oil prices begin to rise again, the Canadian oil will be shipped one way or the other, and production will increase again. Why not transport it in the most efficient method possible? These arguments hold true for the Dakota Access Pipeline that would cross Iowa. Projects like Keystone and the Dakota Access Pipeline provide jobs up and down the supply chain through construction, maintenance and increased tax rev-
enue. Let’s face it, if you can go 10 minutes in your day without relying on a petroleum-based product, that’s impressive — from the hairdryer you used this morning to your pen in class to clothes you’re wearing right now likely made out of synthetic fibers. We need to look at these projects holistically. These projects help keep the prices competitive for these products, which is good for everyone. From a geopolitical standpoint, the more energy we can produce here at home, the less we need to import from unfriendly nations abroad.
The hearing for the Dakota Access Pipeline is this week near Ames in Boone, and I fully support its construction. Our economy needs energy, all types. We need this critical infrastructure to get it to our vehicles and businesses as efficiently and safe as possible. Viewing the Keystone XL and Dakota Access projects objectively, I see a strong argument for both. Energy is the lifeblood of our economy. Having a reliable source of North American energy is essential to keeping the U.S. economy the most dynamic in the world.
After nearly 10 years of functioning without a director, ISU Dining has finally dug in to seriously look for someone to fill the vital position. The top four finalists, Mohamed Ali, John Gaughan, Gayle Hanson and Amanda Steiner, were selected by an eight-person committee that included two students. While it’s a positive move to include students on the selection board, there are still holes in the process and huge potential for candidates to bite off more than they can chew. As we have seen in the selecting of the new director for the Thielen Student Health Center, voluntary student participation in the discussion has been rather dismal. While candidates for the Thielen position were presenting their ideas to students, the attendance to any forum was in the single digits. The lack of student interest is another issue, but for now, the concern lies with providing ideas that are attainable and sensible to alleviate the current issues ISU Dining is facing, mainly overcrowding. Steiner, the first candidate to visit campus, has been one of two to present at an open forum. Some of her plans included changing the current dining structure such as a stronger focus around vegetarianism, veganism and other health trends, as well as a food delivery option. Understanding the number of students who actually do follow a vegan or vegetarian diet would be a huge part of putting that suggestion into action. Hanson, the second to visit campus, suggested more flexible menu and food availability options, including food trucks and mobile and online dining services. The idea of a delivery service sounds great on paper, but in terms of execution, could be a bit overwhelming for a new director right away. Students would more than likely get on board, for convenience reasons. It could have the potential to alleviate the congestion students experience in dining locations, and students could have lunch or dinner delivered to their residence. But where would that money come from? Who would fill those jobs as delivery people? Dining already has a pretty hefty turnaround in student workers. Brittney Rutherford, program coordinator for ISU Dining, reports a 37 percent turnover rate in student dining jobs, which means there might be a struggle to fill delivery positions. As student’s ourselves, the first issue the ISD Editorial board feels that the new director should try to tackle would be the overcrowding in the dining centers, but through reasonable channels, such as food trucks or more carryout options, such as Clyde’s. The idea of wanting to make big advancements when it comes to dining is a noble one, but the changes need to address immediate issues.

ISU spoiler attempt falls short Warren, Pierson reach milestones in Saturday’s loss By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com It brought an excitement to Jack Trice Stadium that many hadn’t seen in a long time. For a majority of Saturday’s game, Iowa State (3-7, 2-5 Big 12) led No. 5 Oklahoma State (10-0, 7-0 Big 12). The Cyclones were going to pull it off. It seemed they were going to knock down the fifth-ranked team in the country — one that is poised to earn a bid to the College Football Playoff. But Oklahoma State drove the length of the field late in the fourth quarter, scoring a go-ahead touchdown to win the game 3531. It was over. The Cyclones had lost. “It stings a little bit for me because it’s my last home game, the last time I’ll ever play in Jack Trice,” said senior defensive end Dale Pierson. “I know that we all went out there and gave it our all. It’s just how the outcome of the game went.” Only two games remain on the schedule for the Cyclones this season. Yet with only three wins so far on the year, Iowa State is no longer eligible for postseason play. And while it may seem that there isn’t a whole lot to play for, Rhoads said that isn’t the case — that these next two games mean a lot more than just a win or a loss. “The next two weeks, in a large part, will shape a great deal of [the players’

lives] about how they respond,” Rhoads said. “Because how they’ll respond in the next two weeks is how they’ll respond for a lifetime in tough, hard situations.” Even though it was a difficult circumstance at Jack Trice Stadium, at least two meaningful accomplishments came out of Saturday’s loss to the Cowboys. Entering the game, running back Mike Warren
sat at 997 rushing yards on the season, just three short of the milestone he has been chasing all year. And on the first drive of the game, as expected, Warren eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards on the season, becoming the first Cyclone to do so since Alexander Robinson in 2009. “It means as much to me as it means to the Oline,” Warren said. “Working this whole season season, this whole grind for
Team closer than ever Cross-country earns bid to national meet
The second milestone Saturday came from Pierson. Pierson, or the Sack Mamba as he is sometimes known, recorded a sack that brought his season total to 8.5 — tying the ISU single-season school record. “I tied it though, so my name is up there,” Pierson said. “But I want to pass it.” Pierson will have two games to break the ISU record, something he be-
lieves he can accomplish. But even though the Cyclones lost this weekend, Pierson said it isn’t as bad when looking at the bigger picture. He’s finding the positives — as that’s all one can do in a situation like this. “We lost the game, but knowing that [Oklahoma State] went out and beat an opponent like TCU, that definitely lets us know that we’re better than our record shows,” Pierson said.
ISU volleyball trend continues with second loss against Texas By Kevin.Horner @iowastatedaily.com
By Kyle.Heim @iowastatedaily.com The spotlight on the ISU women’s cross-country team at the NCAA Championship on Saturday won’t shine as bright as it did a year ago, when the team finished second at the meet. Iowa State earned its bid to nationals after finishing second at the NCAA Midwest Regional on Friday. But, unlike last year when the Cyclones entered the meet ranked No. 5, this year’s team will fly into nationals much lower on the radar. A top-five group led by Perez Rotich, Erin Hooker, Andrea Toppin, Abby Caldwell and Evelyne Guay helped Iowa State punch its seventh ticket to the NCAA Championship in as many years. Each of those runners, along with Kate DeSimone and Evelyne Guay — who finished as Iowa State’s sixth and seventh runners — have taken on much larger roles than originally expected before the season started in September. Rotich and Hooker have become the No. 1 and No. 2 runners on the team, roles that belonged last year to Crystal Nelson and Katy Moen, who both finished in the top 10 at the 2014 NCAA Championship. “I think this team just has a very good energy in that we are in it for the team,” Hooker said. “And last year’s was that reason [too], although there was a little more individual glory just naturally with the more talented girls like [Nelson] and [Moen]. “We weren’t going to hold them back, and Perez and I certainly aren’t held back this year. It’s just dif-
that one mark, it’s all worth it. And I thank those guys a lot for helping me get there.” Warren, who has continuously praised the offensive line all season for his success, now said that he will treat the linemen to dinner as a thank you for their part in his recordbreaking performance. Where, though, he isn’t quite sure. “We’ll have to discuss it tomorrow,” Warren said.

ferent in that we are closer in time and in places to our third, fourth, fifth, sixth girls.” Toppin, Caldwell and Guay have had to fill in as the team’s three, four and five runners this year. Neither Caldwell nor Guay had ever competed in a meet for the Cyclones before this season, and Toppin hadn’t ran in a meet since the 2013 NCAA Championship. The remaining roles have been filled largely by walk-ons and freshmen who had little to no experience competing in collegiate cross-country meets entering the season. “I think we’re all just really comfortable now,” said ISU women’s cross-country coach Andrea Grove-McDonough. “I think last year we knew how good we were. And this might sound funny, but that was stressful. “We really were like, ‘God, let’s just not screw it up.’ Whereas this year, we’ve really had to motivate each other and really kind of come together as a squad because we weren’t really going to have any big superstars, at least at first. [Hooker] and [Rotich] are becoming those kind of athletes.” The Cyclones are currently ranked No. 16 in the U.S. Track and Field and
Cross Country Coaches Association poll and will enter the NCAA Championship as an underdog. It’s a role Grove-McDonough-led teams have thrived in. In her first year as coach in 2013, the ISU women’s cross-country team was ranked No. 26 in the preseason poll and finished 13th at nationals. Last year, the Cyclones entered the season ranked No. 9 and finished runner-up at nationals. This year, the coaches poll opted not to overlook Iowa State in the preseason rankings, placing the team No. 1. After having to redshirt their best runner from a season ago and waiting to decide whether to redshirt 2013 All-American Bethanie Brown, the Cyclones have witnessed a steady decline in the rankings throughout the season. But Grove-McDonough believes the injuries and setbacks have made this team tighter than it’s ever been. “The blessing in all of these unfortunate circumstances and redshirting all these girls for better or for worse, has been that it’s forced the team to come together,” Grove-McDonough said. “They’re running more for each other, more for Iowa State than for anything individual.”
Two Big 12 teams have beaten the ISU volleyball team this season. Unfortunately for the Cyclones, those two opponents are both top-10 teams and have accounted for all four of Iowa State’s conference losses. In a rematch of the Oct. 3 matchup in Austin, Tex., Iowa State (16-8, 9-4 Big 12) fell to No. 5 Texas (22-2, 12-1 Big 12) for the second time this season on Saturday in three sets (2519, 25-18, 25-21). The loss marked the Cyclones’ fifth defeat to a top-10 team this season in five tries. “We knew we’d have to be really good tonight to win or to have a chance,” said head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “And we were just average. We were just kind of ‘OK.’” Iowa State currently sits third in the Big 12 standings — trailing just Texas and Kansas. The Cyclones have won every game against opponents below them in the standings. The winning and losing trends seem to support Johnson-Lynch’s “average” assessment of her team’s play Saturday. Iowa State has won the games it has been favored to win and lost when deemed the “underdog.” The Cyclones have met, but not exceeded, expectations in terms of wins and losses. Against Texas, in particular, redshirt junior Morgan Kuhrt attributed the loss to a lack of drive. “I think we just lacked a little bit of fire on our side and that sense of urgency,” Kuhrt said. “It wasn’t really there. It was at times, but not enough.” The Cyclones recorded their second-lowest hitting percentage on Sat-

urday, .083, against a Longhorns’ defense ranked first in the Big 12 in opponent hitting percentage and second in blocks per set. Redshirt sophomore Samara West — entering the match at No. 3 in the Big 12 in hitting percentage, .388 — did not record a single kill on the night. Iowa State expected Texas to be stingy at the net, and the Cyclones tipped around the blocks several times, but ultimately, the Longhorns showed the upper hand. Texas’ 10 blocks on the night marked its seventh match with a double-figure block total. “We certainly had trouble getting kills,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We knew that could be a problem against a team like Texas, and we just weren’t able to get many kills for many players.” Iowa State also expected Texas to be tough in-system coming into the match. During her press conference on Nov. 9, Johnson-Lynch emphasized the importance of serving tough to the Longhorns — getting them out of rhythm and system to snatch easy points. However, the Cyclones could not keep the Longhorns out-of-system.
Texas recorded a .407 hitting percentage in the opening set, preventing the Cyclones from mounting any momentum early. And although their percentage decreased as the match continued, the Longhorns remained efficient enough to stall the Cyclones. “I think something that we need to work on is serving,” said senior Caitlin Nolan. “We just let them be in-system too many times. With a team like Texas, who has so many weapons, you can’t really do that.” As postseason play approaches, the Cyclones must turn their efforts toward overcoming those expectations — both internal and external — in order to beat the top-10 caliber opponents that will inevitably stand in their way. There’s only one solution for Johnson-Lynch and the Cyclones, and it involves equal contribution from every player on the roster. “Not every part of our game has to be better, but each player has one or two things that they have to be really good at,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We get everybody playing [their] role really well, we’ve got a great shot.”

Cyclones shoot to fix issues ISU players believe they can perform better By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com

Offense sputters Cyclones miss 52 shots in loss against Drake
By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com DES MOINES, Iowa — It was only the second game of the season for the ISU women’s basketball team, but it has already found adversity. Iowa State’s offense met its opposition Sunday in a 74-70 loss to Drake at the Knapp Center in Des Moines. In a battle of two highpaced, all-out offenses, the Bulldogs attempted to slow down the Cyclones’ uptempo attack with a zone defense that focused on shutting down the perimeter shooting game. It worked. Iowa State’s offense looked out of whack throughout the game, giving up 11 turnovers. The turnovers have been a problem for the Cyclones early in the season, and they came to the forefront in this game. Whenever Iowa State tried to mount a comeback, it gave the ball away. “We just have to capitalize on that momentum,”
said guard Jadda Buckley, who had six turnovers. “We can’t let their defense turn into their own offense. If we’re going to get steals and get turnovers on the defensive end, we have capitalize on that on the other end and knock down shots.” The Cyclones tried to implement an offense around the middle of the court. TeeTee Starks and Seanna Johnson camped at the top of the paint and tried to get the stagnant ISU offense kickstarted. But successes were few and far between for the ISU offense, as it started to resort to throwing up 3-pointers and perimeter shots. Normally that would work for a Cyclone attack that revolves around the perimeter, but on Sunday, those shots just weren’t falling. “We said before the game that we’re going to have to make a lot of threes in this kind of game and we didn’t,” said ISU coach Bill Fennelly. “That’s basketball.” The Cylcones put up 33 3-pointers but only made eight. But it wasn’t as if those shots were coming at bad times, the team just wasn’t sinking them when there were open looks. “The game is not that hard,” Fennelly said. “When you miss 52 shots
and get zero out of your post game, you’re not going to win. When you get the ball on the wing, you’ve got to make that shot.” Whatever success Iowa State didn’t have on offense, Drake did. The Bulldogs couldn’t be tamed from outside the arc as they hit 11 3-pointers in the game. Even though their efficiency was below average — they shot 11-for-35 from long range — the makes came at big times in the game, which helped them pull ahead and keep Iowa State at arm’s length. “We didn’t hesitate on taking any shot. Tonight we took the shot,” said Drake coach Jennie Baranczyk. “It’s a game changer. That’s another thing Iowa State does extremely well.” The Cyclones will have a week off before their next game next Sunday. Although this loss is deflating for the team, the week will give it a chance to improve. The focus in that weeklong practice: knocking down open shots. “It’s just missed shots. We just need to get into the gym more — that goes for all of us,” said Kidd Blaskowsky, who went 4-for-13 from behind the arc. “This game is over, so we’ve got to focus on the next one.”
It’s going to be a quick turnaround for the ISU men’s basketball team — but maybe that’s a good thing. Iowa State (1-0, 0-0 Big 12) will take on Chicago State (1-0, 0-0 WAC) on Monday in the Cyclones’ home opener, just three days after their season opener against Colorado. Yes, Iowa State did walk away with a 68-62 victory over Colorado — starting off the season and the Steve Prohm era with a win. But it wasn’t perfect. They got off to a slow start, the offense struggled early, and the defense had trouble holding off Colorado throughout the game. “Man, that was ugly,” said Georges Niang. “But a wise man always told me, ‘Don’t ever feel sorry for winning,’ and that wise man happens to be the coach of the Bulls.” The Cyclones went just 2-for-10 behind the arc against the Buffaloes, and had 12 turnovers. They also shot only 44.6 percent from the field as a team. Four different Cyclones scored in double figures, though, with Niang’s 17 points leading the way. They also had strong stretches of offense — ending the first half on an 8-0 run, and then opening the second half on a 10-2 run. And even though they had a good stretches, it wasn’t enough to satisfy the team. “I think we can do better,” said Abdel Nader. “I was disappointed we didn’t get 80 or 90 [points].” A big part of the Cyclones’ second half run came from Nader, whose 14 points all came in the latter 20 minutes. And while they did let the Buffaloes back

Jameel McKay, who finished the game with eight points and 10 rebounds, said they are still just getting used to the new system. “It’s the first game, new coach, new everything,” McKay said. “We’re still getting adjusted, but everything went good.” But the celebration didn’t last long after the win in Sioux Falls, S.D., on Friday. There wasn’t time for it. “It’s a long year, and that’s why there wasn’t a super celebration in there,”

DEBATE p1 “That is why we have troops in Iraq that are helping to train and build back up the Iraqi military, why we have special operators in Syria working with the Kurds and Arabs, so that we can be supportive,� Clinton said. Sanders and O’Malley both disagreed with Clinton’s stance on terrorism. O’Malley said this issue is America’s fight, but, “it cannot solely be America’s fight.� O’Malley’s solution was not only collaborating with allies but also an improvement in human intelligence on the ground. O’Malley said it was not an issue of toppling dictatorships or regimes, but the arc of instability that follows these events. “We are not so very good at anticipating threats and appreciating just how difficult it is to build up stable democracies, to make the investments and sustainable development that
PARIS p1 there were so many children there. They don’t know what’s going on, and it just breaks my heart. You hear about this on the news, it’s just something I never thought I would be in the middle of.� Wright said she and her friends did not want to take a train or go deeper into the city because they had heard
we must as a nation if we are to attack the root causes of these sorts of instability,� O’Malley said. Moderators asked Sanders if he stands by his past statements that climate change is the biggest issue facing the United States. He said that he “ab-
solutely� stands by it, and that it is directly related to the growth of terrorism. “And if we do not get our act together and listen to what the scientists say, you’re going to see countries all over the world — this is what the CIA says — they’re going to be strug-
gling over limited amounts of water, limited amounts of land to grow their crops and you’re going to see all kinds of international conflict,� Sanders said. Sanders and O’Malley also went after Clinton for her role in the invasion of Iraq, a measure she voted
in favor for in 2002 while the senator for New York. When questioned about financial issues and Wall Street, Sanders and O’Malley said Clinton is the candidate most beholden to interests on Wall Street. “Why over her political career has Wall Street been a major campaign contributor to Hillary Clinton?� Sanders asked. Sanders said he supports reinstating a modernday form of Glass-Steagall, which were financial regulations passed by Congress in the 1930s but later repealed in the late 1990s, and would “break up� big banks if elected. Clinton came back with a fiery response, saying Sanders “impugned� her integrity, and said her plan on Wall Street is “tougher� and would go after all sectors, not just big banks. There were also smaller disagreements on other issues, including education. Clinton said she disagreed with Sanders’ idea of free college tuition for all.
of the multiple attacks. She and her friends checked in with friends and family to tell them they were OK. They tried to get a room at a nearby hotel, which did not accept them. Instead, the group waited for two hours to find a taxi, eventually getting an Uber that was able to maneuver through the many closed streets of Paris. When she got back to her apartment in Cergy,
Wright said she broke down. “It was the scariest night of my life,� she said. “I didn’t think I would ever have to experience something like that in my whole life. I didn’t even see any of the casualties, but just the thought that where I was was a target for a terrorist attack ... it’s sickening.� On Friday, Hollande blamed ISIS for the attacks, and the Islamic State de-
clared they were responsible for the terrorist attacks through their messaging platform Telegram. They called the attacks “the first of the storm� and mocked France as a “capital of prostitution and obscenity,� The New York Times reported. The message was then distributed on Twitter by the terrorist group’s supporters across the world. ISIS, the Islamic State of
Iraq and Syria, is also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. A self-proclaimed Islamic State, ISIS controls areas in Iraq and Syria inhabited by about 10 million people. ISIS calls itself a caliphate, an Islamic form of government controlled by someone considered to be a successor of the prophet Muhammad. President Obama pledged allegiance to Paris.

Wright said she is concerned there will be more attacks, but doesn’t think the French borders being closed will affect her return home at the end of December. “I definitely agree that we should be supporting those in Paris,� Wright said. “It’s just a traumatic event. So many families are broken and lives are lost. They need as much support as they can get.�

“I disagree with free college for everybody,� Clinton said. “I don’t think taxpayers should be paying to send Donald Trump’s kids to college.� On immigration, O’Malley called Republican front-runner Donald Trump an “immigrant-bashing carnival barker� after being asked if he would compromise on border security before other reforms were made to the immigration system. “Our symbol is the Statue of Liberty. It is not a barbed wire fence,� O’Malley said, adding the U.S. has mostly been focussed on border security. Sanders and O’Malley also agreed on raising the minimum wage, saying it should be raised at the federal level to $15 per hour, but Clinton only called for raising it to $12 per hour. Sanders was asked about Clinton’s emails and once again said he is “sick and tired� of hearing about them, and wants to talk about real issues.
