Mary Hensley, the Health Center’s interim director, speaks to an audience.

Center reflects on goals

Lecturing, grading papers and planning keeps ISU professors busy with the wide range of tasks their job demands, but one professor’s job is quite different. Jim Cochran, professor of physics and astronomy, not only has the responsibilities of a professor but also helps oversee the Large Hadron Collider and the U.S. ATLAS experiment, two of the largest science experiments of all time in terms of scale. The Large Hadron Collider is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, and the largest single machine in the world. The ATLAS experiment is one of the particle detectors in the collider that measures the particle collisions created by the experiment. Since 2013, Cochran has been the deputy manager of the ATLAS Operations Program, helping oversee the United States’ contribution to ATLAS at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. As deputy manager, Cochran helps manage contributions from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy, which respectively give $25.6 million and $9 million dollars to ATLAS annually. “It’s a lot of bureaucracy, working with the different agencies,” Cochran said. Cochran’s work involves making sure the money flows, participating in general management and acting as a liaison between the European Organization for Nuclear Research management and the funding agencies. “It’s a lot of traveling, more than I actually care for,” said Cochran, who travels to Europe frequently for his job. In 2013, ATLAS and the Large Hadron Collider helped shed light on the mysterious Higgs boson particle, which gives mass

By ISD Staff Students who gathered in Beardshear Hall on Monday afternoon to state their support for the students of color at the University of Missouri used the opportunity to restate demands of the university to address racism on campus. A Sept. 30 open forum held in the Great Hall was called after a student protester’s poster was ripped at the CyHawk tailgate earlier that month. The forum kickstarted student demands of the university. The following is the list of events and steps taken after the protest provided to the Daily by University Relations. “In the time since the Sept. 30 forum, senior administration and President Steven Leath have taken a number of steps to begin to address diversity issues. This is in addition to further steps and action items that will begin with the Dec. 1 arrival of the new

ment, university infrastructure and university environment. Each subcommittee is made up of staff, faculty and students. Freeman said ISU President Steven Leath extended the current plan for one year in order to align the current process with the Board of Regents’ process. Four open forums will allow students, staff and faculty to provide input throughout the process of working on the strategic plan. The two forums in the fall will give the subcommittees information that will assist them in creating the first draft. The spring forums will then allow students, staff and faculty to critique the draft. “This is the opportunity for broad community input,” Freeman said. Freeman said the committees think they have a good idea of what the issues are but that can’t be guaranteed until the open forums take place. “We want [the forum] to be an open dialogue,” Freeman said. Freeman said he expects the growing pains from the higher enrollment to be students’ main concerns.

University works with students Administration moves forward with diversity initiatives

The Student Health Advisory Committee hosted an outreach program Tuesday in the Union Drive Community to explain the steps being taken at the Thielen Student Health Center, including policies and construction. “We want to do things that are sustainable. We want to do things that are critical,” said Martino Harmon, associate vice president for Student Affairs. Harmon started by acknowledging to the 16 people in attendance the negative stigma that follows student health centers but continued by explaining the purpose of the outreach is to inform the public and change the future of the health center. He pointed out the increase in enrollment challenged a lot of areas in the university, including the health center. He addressed the two-to-three-day visit that the Keeling Associates used to analyze and produce the 59-page report on the center’s services. “We accepted the document — may not [have] agreed with every point — but we accepted it, and we used it as a playbook to move forward,” Harmon said. He introduced Mary Hensley, the health center’s interim director, who began with the philosophy based off of her son’s crosscountry concept that she uses when considering the center: Plan your race, race your plan. Hensley was brought to the Health Center in mid July, along with Bridget Konz, quality improvement officer. However, a search for a quality improvement permanent director, or a leader who focuses on the improvement of the health center for the long term, was launched in early July. Sara Parris joined the health center in late September as the assistant director for administrative services. Dr. Cosette Scallon joined as associate director for clinical services. Scallon’s position allows her to be a physician with management authority while the center’s administration looks for a permanent director. Addressing quality management, Konz has been leading preparations for accreditation from the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care. The association would review and update policies and procedures that are currently in progress. The health center has eliminated use of paper charts, as well. Training for the staff, including training involving Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, commonly known as HIPAA, which is a medical confidentiality act set in place in 1996, started in September. There’s been recognition of services that the health center provides including Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act inspection, which was completed Aug. 27 with “flying colors,” Hensley said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Iowa Department of Public Health recognized the health center for its

vice president for diversity and inclusion. This position was created after seeking feedback from campus stakeholders in the diversity audit. Immediately following the “Discussion on Racism, Diversity and Inclusion,” President Leath charged senior staff with compiling recommendations from the university community. Oct. 6 — Latinos United for Change provided a list of needs and recommended solutions to improve the campus environment, particularly for Latinos and Latinas. Oct. 15 — Reginald Stewart was introduced as the new vice president for diversity and inclusion. Oct. 22— the Strategic Plan Steering Committee was announced. Oct. 22-30 — The Strategic Plan Steering Committee established six subcommittees, including one specifically focused on building initiatives into the strategic plan to ensure a welcoming, safe and inclusive campus environment.

Class uses ballroom dancing to help people with disease improve posture, balance By Audra.Kincart @iowastatedaily.com Up and down, up and down. This is one pair of motions that people with Parkinson’s disease accomplish with help from the music and movement outreach program run by the department of kinesiology. The program uses music therapy, stretching, exercise and ballroom dancing to help participants keep their bodies up to par despite the debilitating effects of Parkinson’s disease. “The goal is to provide those with Parkinson’s disease to move and exercise,” said Elizabeth Stegemoller, assistant professor of kinesiology. “The best thing we do is music because it’s specifically tailored.” Stegemoller plays the piano during the sessions and tailors the music to the participant’s preferences. The music also has simple lyrics and typically goes in rhythm with whatever exercise is taking place. A typical program includes six to eight participants with 18 student assistants. The program begins with stretching and moves onto seated exercises that force large movements. During the exercise portion, participants sing along with the music. Ballroom dancing is the another portion of the program, and participants are encouraged to talk with their student partner instead of singing. Ballroom dancing helps counteract several effects of Parkinson’s disease by improving participants’ posture and balance. “The interaction between students and the

Student volunteers from the kinesiology department’s music and movement outreach program lead participants in stretches during a class. Classes usually include six to eight participants with 18 student helpers. The class takes place from 4 to 5 p.m. every Tuesday at the First Baptist Church in Ames.

The music and movement outreach program, which aims to keep bodies active after being affected by Parkinson’s disease, uses music therapy, stretching, exercise and ballroom dancing.

people with Parkinson’s disease gets me a little teary-eyed,” Stegemoller said. “To just listen to them talk with each other and ask, ‘How’s your grand-

daughter?’ and ‘How did you do on that test last week?’ — showing support for each other is really a neat thing.” Stegemoller had al-

ready implemented a singing program for those with Parkinson’s disease when she started getting questions about a music program for those suffering

from the disease. Stegemoller then approached Ann Smiley-Oyen, associate professor of kinesiology, about starting a program in Ames with the help of one of Stegemoller’s students, Alison Brinkman, senior in kinesiology and health. Brinkman said she was doing research for Stegemoller a year and a half ago when Stegemoller asked what she was interested in. Brinkman was interested in dance, and Stegemoller thought it would be a great idea to include Brinkman in the program. Brinkman choreographs routines for the program and includes holiday specials. Around Halloween, Brinkman taught the participants the moves to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and is currently teaching participants the choreography for a holiday routine. The music and movement program is having a holiday extravaganza for the participants to show off to their friends and family everything they have learned through the program. Brinkman said that she gets joy from seeing participants succeed. “The biggest thing I get out of this program is helping others succeed. It really brings me joy seeing people with smiles on their faces and doing things they couldn’t do,” Brinkman said. People who want to participate in the music and movement program are encouraged to call Stegemoller for more information at 515-294-5966. Walk-ins are also welcome. The program takes place every Tuesday evening from 4 to 5 p.m. at the First Baptist Church in Ames.

Council discusses entrepreneurship Kauffman speakers provide ideas on starting, endorsing a new business By Elizabeth.Gray @iowastatedaily.com Ames City Council members gathered in the Memorial Union on Tuesday night to hear from the Kauffman Foundation about spreading entrepreneurship throughout the Ames and ISU community. The Kauffman Foundation is a private non-partisan company that focuses on helping people attain economic independence through education and entrepreneurship. A series of PowerPoint presentations from the foundation discussed how to go about starting a business and how it is important for local communities to fully endorse small businesses. It focused on ideas such as the importance of connectivity, density, fluidity and diversity. Members of the Kauffman Foundation stressed how important it is to encourage entrepreneurship to ISU students, as they say students are known to be creative, innovative and passionate towards their dreams and accomplishing their goals. City Councilman Tim Gartin asked about the national decline in entrepreneurship and what council members and Ames can do to further encourage entrepreneurship at Iowa State. “Go against the current,” said Jason Wiens, policy director in research and policy for the Kauffman Foundation. Wiens said he wants to

Members of the Ames City Council take notes on what the Kauffman Foundation speakers have to say about spreading entrepreneurship throughout the Ames and ISU community during the entrepreneurship workshop Tuesday night. The speakers provided tips about how to start a business.

inspire students by encouraging creation instead of relying on imitation. He said that a lot of younger generations need someone in their lives they can look up to as well as feel supported to inspire the growth of creativity and passion. Wiens also discussed how students generally move to places like Chicago, New York and Los Angeles to build new job experiences. Then they usually come back to their communities with understandings about the flaws of the business they previously worked for and then create new business ideas to fix those flaws and inefficiencies. Building and keeping

connections also better the chances of creating a successful business. “Connectivity is the most important thing,” said Evan Absher, program officer in research and policy for the Kauffman Foundation. However, unless the new business has a full understanding of creating business density and the potential functions of the business, it will not be successful. On policy terms, one of the suggestions for the council members was to welcome immigrants. “Immigrants are twice as likely to create a new business,” Wiens said. A major suggestion at the workshop was to wel-

come immigrants into the Ames community. Making these immigrants feel accepted and a part of the community is also important, particularly in reference to permits and licensing and tax incentives. “Entrepreneurs care very little about tax incentives ... tax incentives aren’t positively correlated to economic growth,” Absher said. A tip from the Kauffman Foundation for students seeking to create their own business some day is to create as many connections as possible, keep them close and make sure they’re diverse. Examples of good connections include successful business owners in

the community, elected officials and possible donors or endorsers. The second tip: Don’t be afraid to fail. It might take a few tries before you create a successful business, but don’t get discouraged. Just try again, and focus on the resources you have as well as the ones you lack. Being an entrepreneur is a lonely occupation, the Kauffman Foundation said. You might get frustrated or face several road blocks in your journey to create a successful business, but keep pushing. Siome people may judge your plans for the future, but that means they don’t dream the same. It doesn’t mean you will fail.

Mayor Ann Campbell and City Councilman Tim Gartin scoop up soup for an attendee at the Scoop A Soup event that took place Tuesday at City Hall.

Scoop A Soup Ames event helps fight hunger issue By Jaki.Cavins @iowastatedaily.com The city of Ames helped fight hunger and homelessness Tuesday with a “Scoop a Soup” event. “Just because you don’t see it visually in our community doesn’t mean we don’t have citizens who are affected by it,” said Vanessa Baker-Latimer, housing coordinator for the city of Ames. In larger, metropolitan cities, homelessness may be more visible. Individuals with no place to go can be seen on street corners asking for donations and attempting to make ends meet. In contrast, the poverty in Ames is not so clear to the naked eye. According to the United States Census, from 2009 to 2013, 28 percent of Ames was below the poverty line. Scoop a Soup raises awareness about the fact that the issues of hunger and homelessness are real, even in Ames. Baker-Latimer has worked with the Scoop a Soup event since its beginning in 2007. She says there are generally 50 to 100 people who attend, and the event changes fluctuates depending on the year. In the past, the city has done educational setups and lectures, but this year the city chose to return to a previous event, “Scoop a Soup.” Ames City Council members gathered on the west side of City Hall on Tuesday to serve to all who wanted it. They were joined by different volunteer agencies including the Salvation Army, Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support, Youth and Shelter Services, Emergency Residence Project and more. These agencies also answered questions and shared information about their organizations. Baker-Latimer credits these organizations for being the most important people in the process of making the event happen. “No matter what we do, we always highlight the agencies that provide the service,” Baker-Latimer said. Vic Moss, director of the Ames Emergency Residence Project, has been part of the event five years. The event hits close to home for the organization, which provides about 50 people a night with a place to stay. Moss credits the event for raising awareness to homelessness and hunger. “We really have to look at all different ways of helping the homeless problem,” Moss said.“Awareness doesn’t solve it unless we have policies or plans on what to do after. The two together are important.”

It is an extra service we have been able to participate in,” Hensley said. The Patient Satisfaction Survey conducted by the American Health Association revealed the center received an average score of 4.2 on a five-point scale, with the national average being 4.3. However, a new system for accepting feedback and thoughts about improvement has been implemented in order to enhance the health center. The quality of care was shown by the certified medical assistants, who are becoming the first point of contact for students. The center is hiring four of these assistants to replace clerks at

stressful; I try not to let it be,” Cochran said. Cochran said many safeguards are in place for him that help him keep his mind at peace. However, he frowns upon critics of the Large Hadron Collider who think the particle collider could create a black hole by mistake. “They don’t give it much thought. It’s just unfortunate,” Cochran said. Cochran said a benefit of huge experiments such as the collider is that the discoveries they create can lead to all kinds of new technological innovations that can make a big impact on a person’s daily life. Chunhui Chen, associate professor of physics and astronomy, is also part of the ATLAS team, and he agrees with Cochran about the benefits of experiments such as ATLAS. Chen said that the reason why we have modern conveniences such as cell phones comes from highlevel physics experiments relating to things like electromagnetic waves, spatial relativity and other abstract

mechanics. “Physics is really the foundation, right?” Chen said. Chen said he finds physics interesting because it provides a foundation for the other sciences. “It’s more like when you build a fancy house,” Chen said. “If you don’t have the bricks, you have nothing, right?” Chen has many responsibilities with ATLAS, including maintaining the experiment, calibrating detectors and working with students and postdoctoral students to analyze data. Chen came to Iowa State in 2009 as an assistant professor and was looking for an exciting project in the field. For Chen, looking for the Higgs boson particle was the most interesting and highest priority project he could take. Chen enjoys the travel when he gets the opportunity. “The experiment is actually based in Europe in Geneva, so I have a chance to travel to Europe, and

that’s something very exciting,” Chen said. “You do enjoy the different country, the different atmosphere, and I think that’s some kind of fun.” Chen typically travels overseas for ATLAS during the summer because of his responsibilities as a full-time teacher. Chen said one of the biggest challenges of his work is communicating with his students and postdoctoral students overseas, as they aren’t able to communicate face to face. “I didn’t know we had a professor here who worked on stuff like that,” said Brian Sandahl, sophomore in biology. “I’ve heard of the Large Hadron Collider, but I don’t really understand it. I know it’s a big deal though.” Chen said that having ISU faculty working at the ATLAS experiment is great publicity for the university. “Iowa State is a large, research-oriented university,” Chen said. “Being in a big project like this is good because it gets our name out there.”

the clinic’s reception desk. The health center is in the process of moving mental health services to the second floor of the building. “In mental health appointments you don’t need an exam, it’s more of an interview, so these rooms can be used very quickly,” Hensley said. Hensley and Harmon were quick to correct the misconception that the mental health services offered by the health center are not the same thing as those offered by Student Counseling Services. “Counseling Services is a separate operation than the Student Health Center,” Harmon said. “They do connect, work together and collaborate.” As it adds providers, the center’s goal is that it reaches a ratio so that there are more nurse practitioners than physicians. The center aims for a 2-to-1 ratio as sug-

gested by the Keeling report. The center’s Prevention Services department is trying to expand with talk of a new ISU wellness initiative in order to provide more inclusive health incentives to make students all-around healthy. Mary Raman, nurse practitioner, is writing a proposal for the new, long-term, concept strategy of a women’s health service. As for the physical aspect of the health center, vinyl flooring for exam rooms will be included in new constructions, as well as chairs for the exam rooms and waiting room that can be easily sanitized. A $10 health fee increase for each student per semester has been approved by different levels of administration, including President Steven Leath, and is expected go into effect fall 2016. The health center is analyzing the possibility of inserting a third-party bill-

ing for office visits before addressing policy issues that may come next. The health center is focused on building a budget. Managers were asked to create a budget based on what they needed and then reported the end amount. The budget was implemented for the 2015-16 school year. However, the health center is ready to address long-term challenges, including the continuous enrollment increase, modification to university recruitment methods to recruit more physicians, change in provider retirements and the need for staff as the need for services grows. “How do we meet the needs and still be thoughtful,” said Kipp Van Dyke, assistant dean of students. “I think it’s phenomenal looking at those dates [of plans being implemented]. I think they’ve spark-plugged and got it going.”

If students feel strongly about something, Freeman said he expects them to express their feelings during the forum and provide suggestions for a solution.

The chairman of the committee said there will be no radical change, but the committee will make goals more detailed and measurable and continue to build

on Iowa State’s success. “The message I want to send to the students and faculty is this is part of a continuous improvement process,” Freeman said.

A campaign called Ban the Box attempts to eliminate bias employers have against people with criminal records, which would allow people to be on parole.

Box restricts candidates

Remove application question about criminal records By Angelica.Lawson @iowastatedaily.com

n equal opportunity employer takes on new meaning when you no longer have to identify if you have a criminal record. The goal of the Ban the Box campaign is to remove the box on the first phase of job applications that ask people to state if they have a criminal record. The removal gives people a fair chance at employment after their release. Ban the Box is a campaign that was started by formerly incarcerated men, women and their families to level the playing field and help eliminate bias based on charges they already served time for. Several applications include a line that asks if the applicant has ever been convicted of a crime. When you are a person who has to check this box, flags are raised, and opinions are formed right from the get-go without any background information. Through the adoption of Banning the Box, people are no longer being penalized for their past and being judged in their present. There are now 45 cities and counties that have adopted this anti-discrimination policy, which has been implemented in cities such as New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit and San Francisco. In total, it has reached seven states. President Obama announced Nov. 2 that his administration

would enact legislation to eliminate requirements for human resource departments asking applicants what their criminal history is until later on in the application process, according to a White House release. This will prevent applicants from being written off right away for having a record, thus giving them the opportunity to be considered for a job just as someone without a record would. The reason Ban the Box has become a nationwide movement is to help eliminate the cultural bias that has been adopted against men and women who have been incarcerated. It is no secret that Obama has made it one of his missions during his time as president to fight for criminal justice reform. This past July, he made history as the first sitting president to visit an American prison. Employers have openly discriminated against people with criminal pasts, and this is understandable to a certain level. Employers want to know who they could be potentially letting into their company, but this judgment has been premature. Applicants are being judged literally on paper, and if they do have a record, they will never have the opportunity to show what they could bring to a company in spite of their criminal history. These men and women often have a difficult time finding work after they have been released from incarceration. According to a study done by the National Institute of Justice, 60-75 percent of people who are released from incarceration are jobless for up to one year after being released. In a study conducted in New York City, it was also found that if an applicant checked yes to having a

criminal record, that individual was 50 percent less likely to get called back in for a second interview or meeting in the application process. Through the adoption of Ban the Box, people who have paid their debt to society will rightfully be afforded better opportunities, ultimately helping society by adding to our workforce. There are many people who are opposed to this campaign because they do not understand why it is “our” job to help the criminals. To that I say, isn’t the whole point of sending someone to jail or prison not only to punish this person for making poor choices but also to give him or her the tools and motivation to be a productive member of society? I am not sure how we can expect people to move beyond their pasts if we do not give them the opportunity to do better outside of jail or prison. We have to eliminate the bias against men and women with criminal records so we can lower the amount of people who return to a incarcerated life because they could not find a job or do not have a place to live and turned back to criminal actives. Additionally, it is a requirement for anyone on parole to have a job and somewhere to live. By writing off applicants right away because they have a record, it undermines the efforts they made in prison to be granted parole. The current structure almost ensures a return to prison for parolees: Get out on parole, can’t find a job to meet requirements, go back to jail. If we cannot aid in the elimination of this bias, we are engaging in a vicious cycle of imprisonment by giving people a disadvantage to turn their life around.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

I don’t feel safe attending Iowa State Jovani Rubio shares struggles as multicultural student By Jovani Rubio Senior in mechanical engineering Coming to Iowa State, I thought I was going to be accepted. Iowa State gave me a scholarship to come here, however, that same scholarship also marked me as different. One of the things I got a lot was, “You only received that scholarship because you are a minority Mexican.” Those same people didn’t know that I was a Junior ROTC raider and a member of the wrestling team. I graduated high school with a 3.2 GPA — even after working 40-hour weeks. But through it all, I came to Iowa State with a smile on my face and determination that would help me prosper and face any obstacle. But, when I got here, I was told from my academic adviser during freshman orientation, “Well, you come from a bad high school, and your ACT scores are very low, so your chances of being able to succeed in engineering are very low. So what we will do is put you in easy classes this semester, or else you will probably fail out after the first semester.”

Although this moment began my adventure at Iowa State, it did not finish it. I went ahead and ignored my adviser’s great advice, placed myself in higher-level classes and finished my first semester with almost a 3.0. Weeks after this incident, I befriended a group of international students from China, and, after a filling meal at the Union Drive Community Center, we decided it would be a good idea to walk back to Wallace and Wilson towers. Halfway back to the Towers, people in cars and on the street shouted racist slurs, some of which included the F-word. To me, this was something that was totally new. When we got back to the Towers, I asked my friends if this was something that they were OK with, because they kept their composure. They replied that those type of things happen to them all the time. Although this occurred my freshmen year, it did not end there. Weeks into my senior year, a professor in the math department spoke about an issue that I was very familiar with. The professor, who previously worked at the Department

of Transportation, described an instance the department decided against not to provide licenses for undocumented immigrants. As he spoke, he used the term “illegal” very loosely when referring to the undocumented immigrants. The use of the term “illegal” describing a person is offensive. The action of coming to this country without documentation is illegal. After this, the professor said, “Although I filed to dismiss the case and was successful, I truly don’t understand how they would have defended themselves if they were illegal had this case gone to trial. I could have just called [U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services] and had them all deported.” It was at this point that the entire classroom burst into laughter, and I was left in complete shock. These issues are the reasons why we, as multicultural students, do not feel safe on Iowa State’s campus. I don’t feel safe at Iowa State. I participated in the protest against Donald Trump and have since been targeted as the poster child of the event. The community has reached out to me for statements on how I was

able to hold my composure that day and why I didn’t react negatively when the woman ripped my poster. My reply to them is simple: If I would have responded how she wanted me to, then I only would have been confirming their negative stereotypes. This is the Martin Luther King, Jr. quote that I silently stood with at the Cy-Hawk protest: “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.” Simón Bolívar, a Venezuelan military and political leader, once said, “En la unión está la fuerza.” Translation: “In unity there is strength.” You can no longer silence our voices because now we stand united.

Ever since the Sept. 12 ripping of a poster at the CyHawk tailgate, the conversations regarding how students of color are treated on campus have been continuous and louder than ever. While what these students have been experiencing has gone on for a far longer period of time than this semester, the events of the tailgate have brought the conversation to the forefront of the university’s consideration. These students want change — it’s evident from this semester’s mounting tension. Meanwhile, the university is scrambling to properly respond and take action. On one side, we have students demanding action and sharing feelings of fear and incidents of racism on campus. On the other, we have the university saying it’s all ears and willing to make changes but that students need to be specific in sharing experiences and demands. The flare-up on social media is just one avenue that backs up the fact racism is present on this campus. Anyone who monitored Yik Yak on Monday night during and after the rally that took place in Beardshear Hall in support of students of color at the University of Missouri witnessed the differing opinions about the presence of racism on the campus and how the issue is, and should be, dealt with. These major changes students are asking of the university require thought and deliberated detail considered by numerous voices on campus, which takes time. For example, one of the suggestions was a center for Latino students, which is an excellent suggestion, but that’s something that probably can’t be created in two months’ time. All sides of this situation deserve to be heard. Both also deserve to be actually listened to and learned from. Universities, especially public, land-granted universities, are spaces for people to learn about other viewpoints and understand more about the world. Brian Eslinger, lecturer of philosophy and religious studies and minister at Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Ames, often speaks about how to live with others different than ourselves. He referenced the theory of the “color line” spoken about by Frederick Douglas and Martin Luther King, Jr. and others, saying the color line is not just about being black or white. “It’s very difficult to be empathetic to an experience that is not yours,” Eslinger said regarding the differing sides of the campus conversation. “It requires work. It requires a real desire to see ourselves as accountable for each other. That changes our frame of reference. It’s not about being right. It’s about the responsibilities of all of us as a community to care for everyone in that community. To take all of their experiences seriously.” So the Iowa State Daily wants to hear about your experiences. If you have experienced racism, other forms of discrimination or feelings of insecurity on campus, and you feel comfortable sharing your story, please feel free to reach out to the editorial borad at editor@iowastatedaily.com.

Tucker’s transformation Defensive tackle improves fitness to enhance his game on the field By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com When ISU nose guard Demond Tucker arrived in Ames over the summer, he had a lofty goal — he wanted to be the best. Before the season even began, Tucker set his sights on the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year award. He wanted to take his game from good to elite. While those feelings haven’t faded over the four months since, Tucker has now improved enough this season to where it’s a real possibility. Maybe not for 2015, but for 2016. “I just want to be an outstanding player,” Tucker said. “I want to dominate every play. I want to be that person that can go every drive without coming off the field.” Recently, Tucker has reached that higher level. He earned his first recognition in the conference Monday, taking home Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors with eight tackles and two sacks against Oklahoma State. It was something that the team saw coming, but also something that Tucker had to work hard for. “When he turns it up, he can play,” said ISU defensive coordinator Wally Burnham. “He can really play.”

Demond Tucker prays after Iowa State’s game against Texas on Oct. 31

Tucker, a Hazelhurst, Miss., native, transferred to Iowa State from Copiah Lincoln Community College before this season. His speed and explosiveness were almost at elite levels. His size, however, was not. Tucker entered at a generous listing of 6 feet, which led to him being passed over by some big schools around the nation. The Cyclones weren’t one of them. The coaching staff saw his raw talent, which is a hard find for any team. “The reasons we have Demond is because he is 6 foot, or whatever he would tell you,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads. “The big boys — they didn’t want a guy

that size — but we saw the explosiveness and we saw the ability. We’re lucky to have him.” Tucker entered fall camp like many junior college transfers: Not in tiptop shape but boasting raw strength. The problem was that Tucker had the tools to become great, but he wasn’t molded as a Division I football player — yet. “He was a junior college kid that came in and had some natural strength, but he didn’t have football strength in his hands and things like that,” Burnham said. “He’s gotten better in a lot of areas.” Over the season, Tucker has slowly improved his fitness while showing the

raw talent that had been there since day one. On one occasion, safety Kamari Cotton-Moya was in awe over Tucker running across the field to break up a play. “You see him sprinting — 100 mph — going and trying to take the ball,” Cotton-Moya said. “And I’m like, ‘How did he just get there? How did he beat everybody to the ball?’ He’s a nose guard. That dude’s athletic and probably one of the fastest D-linemen I’ve ever seen.” But Tucker’s potential impact wasn’t fully realized because he was limited to three or four consecutive plays before he had to run to the sideline for a breather. Tucker has now gotten closer to that player the coaches foresaw — one that had better fitness and improved strength. While fitness is still an aspect on which the coaching staff wants Tucker to improve, the final thing he needs to achieve is consistency. “He believes in himself and his ability,” Burnham said. “He’s done it in junior college, and he’s had some plays here, so the more [plays] he makes, the more he’s going to get.” Now that Tucker is gaining conference-wide recognition, he can become one of the best in the Big 12 — a goal from which he never wavered. “I just feel like I can do more — I know I can do more,” Tucker said. “I just have to get myself in better condition and get stronger and faster. I feel like I can get to the point I want to be.”

Senior Caitlin Nolan dives to keep the ball alive during Iowa State’s volleyball match against Nebraska on Sept. 19 at Hilton Coliseum.

ISU volleyball prepares for another defensive battle at Kansas State By Kevin.Horner @iowastatedaily.com After a loss to No. 5 Texas on Saturday, a shot at a Big 12 title this season is all but out of reach for ISU volleyball. That realization is not taking away any focus from ISU volleyball coach Christy Johnson-Lynch and the Cyclones, but it instead may be enhancing it. Although a conference title is likely no longer in the picture, the NCAA Tournament remains a focal point for the Cyclones moving forward. Four matches remain on Iowa State’s schedule before the postseason, and JohnsonLynch is emphasizing the importance of four wellplayed contests. “I think we know how important [these matches] are,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I think we’ll be focused on getting better, playing well on the road and putting ourselves in the best position for NCAAs.” The final stretch of the regular season will begin in Manhattan, Kan., on the road against Kansas State. Iowa State (16-8, 9-4 Big 12) will square off in a rematch against Kansas State (16-8, 8-4 Big 12) on Wednesday — the first of Iowa State’s final three conferences matches. The

Cyclones claimed the first matchup between the two teams, sweeping the Wildcats in three sets at Hilton Coliseum. Defense was the theme in the match in Ames, and defense is expected to rule the rematch as well. Kansas State leads the Big 12 in digs per set at 16.84 with Iowa State following closely behind at 16.48. Both teams are below average in offensive efficiency, hitting under .240 on the season. “I think defense will be huge,” said redshirt junior Morgan Kuhrt. “[Kansas State] is a good defensive team. They’re pretty scrappy, so I think we have to have a relentless pursuit and go after every ball.” Johnson-Lynch is focusing on sharpening the Cyclones’ offense to gain an advantage, as strong defense is a commonality between the two opponents. Iowa State struggled offensively with tempo and range against Texas, so the Cyclones will focus on throwing a variety of offensive attacks at Kansas State’s stingy defense. And as Johnson-Lynch has reiterated all season, good offense begins with good passing. Passing will be especially key at Kansas State’s home stadium, Ahearn Field House. The Cyclones have struggled with passing at Ahearn in

Senior Caitlin Nolan, however, had a different explanation. “I think it’s hard to play [at Ahearn Field House] because the balls float really well,” Nolan said. “So I think we need to come in really focused on our serve and pass.” If anyone knows the importance and difficulty of getting a win at Kansas State, it’s Nolan. In her four years at Iowa State, Nolan has yet to taste victory on the road against the Wildcats, and breaking that streak Wednesday isn’t likely to come easy. Kansas State is not only just a half game behind Iowa State in the Big 12 standings but also will enter Wednesday’s match on a five-game winning streak. The Wildcats have lost just one Big 12 match at home all season, a loss to Texas on Oct. 21.

It can get pretty loud, but I think it’s a good opportunity for us and a good way for us to prepare.”

Junior guard Matt Thomas stepped in as sixth man during the Cyclones’ season opener against Colorado on Friday in South Dakota.

Cyclones define roles, work out kinks By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com There was a lot of good that came out of the ISU men’s basketball team’s home opener Monday. Not only did No. 7 Iowa State (2-0, 0-0 Big 12) leave the arena with a convincing 106-64 win against Chicago State (1-1, 0-0 WAC), but its offense looked much improved from its first outing against Colorado on Friday. Six different Cyclones finished with double-figures, led by Jameel McKay’s career-high 25 points. They went 41-for-69 from the field and shot nearly 70 percent in the second half. Yet the team still wasn’t content with how it played. “It wasn’t a good performance in the first half,” said guard Naz MitrouLong. “It was way better in the second half, so I’m glad we came out of here with that type of win.” Head coach Steve Prohm said what he has seen so far hasn’t been bad, but it needs perfecting — and he thinks this next week is the perfect time for that. The Cyclones won’t take the court again until Monday, giving Prohm a full week to tweak some things. “We’ve just relied a lot right now on talent, [and] just playing and playing free,” Prohm said. “Now, we have to refine some things and put a little more stuff in, to fine tune some things so everybody knows it in and out as we get going [in the season].” Thomas fitting into sixth-man role Matt Thomas didn’t start the first two games of the season, but his impact on the team may be just as valuable as that of a starter. Thomas was the first Cyclone to come off of the bench in the first two games of the season and is starting to solidify his role as Iowa State’s sixth man. “I thought [Thomas] — that’s a role he can play for us,” Prohm said. “I think he’s accepted his role right now kind of as our sixth man, and [he’s] making shots and [bringing] some toughness.” Thomas scored nine points in his 23 minutes against Chicago State on Monday. He shot 50 percent from behind the arc and added four assists. But it wasn’t his offense that impressed Prohm the most — it was his rebounding. Thomas finished the game with 11 rebounds, tied for the most on the team. Prohm, who has been stressing defensive improvements from the

first day of practice, said this is exactly the kind of play that he wants to see out of his guards. “That’s the biggest thing I think we’ve stressed,” Prohm said. “For us to be a complete defensive team, we have to have our guards rebound. [Thomas has] got the size … to rebound down, but we need all of those guys to get in there and help us.” No redshirt for Ernst Freshman forward Brady Ernst will not be redshirted this season. Ernst played eight minutes Monday against Chicago State, essentially eliminating the possibility. Prohm defended his decision, saying Ernst could prove vital in the near future. “We thought about it, and we’re looking down the road to [conference play] to where you’re going to need some bodies,” Prohm said. And although he saw the court for the first time against Chicago State on Monday, Prohm cited last Friday’s season opener against Colorado as a perfect example of a situation where Iowa State could use Ernst. “Right away in the first game, we played a physical team in Colorado, and [with just] 10 minutes left in the first half, we’re in foul trouble,” Prohm said. “Yeah, we went zone, but we may have to use that body, because he’s our next true physical presence around the basket.” Ernst, a 6-foot-9-inch freshman from Clinton, Iowa, averaged 16.7 points and 12 rebounds per game as a high school senior. In February of his senior season, though, Ernst tore his ACL and was sidelined for the rest of the year. Only time will tell what impact he will have on this year’s team, but Prohm said Ernst is willing to do whatever he can to contribute. “We’re all in, and he’s all in,” Prohm said. “And now, we’re moving forward.”

Alternative desks offer health benefits By Jenna.Hrdlicka @iowastatedaily.com Kinesiology professors are practicing what they preach by using alternative desks in their offices. Alternative desks, specifically standing and treadmill desks, provide a variety of health benefits by decreasing the amount of time people spend sitting while working or studying. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, studies have proven a correlation between sitting for long periods of time — more than one hour at a time — and an increased risk for various health complications such as obesity, cardiovascular disease and even death. Gregory Welk, professor of kinesiology, and Duck-Chul Lee, assistant professor of kinesiology, both use alternative desks and recommend students do the same. Lee started using a standing desk during his postdoctoral research. Sitting and looking at the computer monitor for extended periods of time had been giving him neck and back problems, so he de-

cided to try a standing desk. After switching, he said he felt great and noticed his pain had decreased. Most college students are advised to spend two to three hours studying for each hour that they spend in class. If that time is primarily spent sitting, the health risks could be dire. Even if students exercise regularly, the time spent sitting will still have negative effects, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians. Lee alternates between standing and sitting throughout the day, which reduces the risks of sitting but also helps avoid the risks of standing too much. The risks of standing too much include an increased chance of varicose veins and spinal chord compression. Treadmill desks, the other popular type of alternative desks, are even more beneficial than standing desks in improving certain physiological health outcomes. Lowering cholesterol is an example of one outcome, according to a study published by Preventive Medicine. Treadmill desks are beneficial because they not only reduce sedentary time

but also allow individuals to perform low-level intensity exercise while completing their work. This does pose risks, however, such as the risk of falling while walking and working. Two treadmill desks, also known as TrekDesks, are available for students to use on campus. The desks are located in the Forker undergraduate lounge and in the underground of the Memorial Union. Welk and Lee both said they hope to add more alternative desks on campus in the future. A meeting recently took place within the kinesiology department that included a discussion about incorporating standing desks in classrooms and conference rooms. Using alternative desks is a growing trend, and both professors agree that Iowa State would benefit by joining the movement and providing more of these desks to students and faculty. Welk has had students experiment with standing in class while discussing/ working. He also has had students brainstorm creative ways to incorporate standing in the classroom setting. The student feedback of the integration of

life to experience the benefits. “You are not constrained to one spot [when you use one],” Welk said.

“You can move your feet, shift your balance — it feels liberating once you try it. Flip your routine, make standing your norm.”

November beards assist more than charities By Alexa.Weber @iowastatedaily.com Oh, November. The month of facial hair. Some people may think that No-Shave November is a chance for men to prove how much of a beard they can grow in a month when in reality it is for a very good cause. No-Shave November is a campaign that raises awareness and funds for cancer prevention and research. Multiple organizations use the month as a fundraiser to donate to groups such as the American Cancer Society, Prevent Cancer Foundation, Fight Colorectal Cancer and St.

Potential health benefits of growing a beard include reducing allergic reactions, keeping facial and neck skin moisturized and battling colds.

Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. For example, the Movember Foundation has raised $600 million to fund research in men’s health since its founding in 2003. Growing out a beard

may also offer men many health benefits including reducing allergic reactions, keeping skin moisturized, battling colds, limiting the risk of infections. Beards can also become a natural sunblock.

Rodney Petry, sophomore in mechanical engineering, said that he is really curious about the health benefits of No-Shave November because he only did it “to see how long I could get my beard to grow and to raise awareness for cancer research.” Growing a beard can reduce allergic reactions by trapping them in the facial hair, according to YorkTest. Men won’t inhale the allergens, unless they let their beard get scraggly and out of control. If they let this happen, their beard can actually act as a store for allergens. Beards can also help men keep naturally moisturized faces, keeping the nasty Iowa winds and cold

off of their face. There are glands on the face that secrete natural oils that act as a lubricant. Having a beard can also be a barrier to the common cold, a hair specialist found. A hair specialist at the Birmingham Trichology Centre said having a beard helps raise the temperature of the neck in order to keep the skin warmer and less prone to the common cold. By not shaving, men also avoid skin irritation, razor burn and other skin infections. “I am hesitant to believe that there are actually benefits, I don’t think there would be,” said Joey Greco, sophomore in mechanical engineering. “It’s just

hair, it doesn’t seem like it would do anything for you besides keeping you warm … even that I am hesitant to believe.” There have been at least 220,800 new cases of prostate cancer in the U.S. in 2015, according to the American Cancer Society. There have been about 27,540 deaths from prostate cancer, which is the most common type of cancer found in American men. People can donate to the campaign at no-shave. org even if they’re not growing out their hair. “Even though I’m not participating in No-Shave November, I would still donate because it is a really great cause,” Greco said.

Body positivity allows people to live happier lives By Megan.Dale @iowastatedaily.com College can be a time that includes a constant struggle for college-age students to figure out who they are and how they feel about themselves. Stress, overeating and neglecting personal health can all happen easily when students are consumed with school work that keeps them up late at night and wakes them up early in the morning. Acknowledging these

struggles and focusing on correcting them is very important, but the mental side of being body positive is just as important, if not more important, than the physical side of having a healthy body. Positivity is a state of mind, and even though adding the word “body” to the front of it makes it seem more like it’s a physical goal, this is not necessarily the case. Being body positive means more than being fit and feeling good about your physical shape.

Don’t let back or neck pain get you down!

Practicing body positivity is part of being an overall healthy person, according to thebodypositive. org. It means loving the person who lives within that body and loving the shape you take no matter what size it is. Body positivity is a term that has been referenced fairly frequently in 2015 and one that will surely be used in the future. However, getting to the point of self-acceptance is easier said than done for some.

A negative body image could lead to a poor quality of life, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, self-harming behaviors, substance abuse, weight cycling and relationship violence, according to thebodypositive.org. Even if it’s not exactly what you think it should look like or what society says it should look like, that doesn’t mean it is worth any less. Your body is unique to you, and there will never be another one just like it, so just as you consider

your mind and personality unique qualities, consider your body one as well. Your body does so much for you. Whether it looks the way you want it to, it deserves all of the love and respect in the world because of the work it does for you. Treat it well, no matter what. Young adults struggle greatly with physical appearance, and dealing with this can negatively affect your mental health. When you accept your body and love it for what

it is, the mental aspects of being upset about it will no longer plague you, and you will be an all-around healthier and happier person. These things are definitely easier said than done, and getting to a place of self-satisfaction is difficult, but getting there will bring so much joy and confidence to your life. Your mind and body work hand in hand, and loving yourself physically as much as you love yourself mentally is what truly defines body positivity.
