Greek Homecoming winners announced

By Sydney.McLaughlin @iowastatedaily.com

Emily Blobaum/Iowa State Daily Members of the greek community perform during Friday night’s final round of Yell like Hell, a Homecoming tradition where Greek members shout and perform a skit for a panel of judges. This year’s Yell like Hell winners were Delta Tau Delta, Alpha Delta Pi and Acacia.

Lawn display competitions took place after Yell Like Hell on Friday night.

Yell Like Hell 2015 concluded with glitter flying and plenty of Cyclone spirit this weekend.

Three final pairings painted their bodies in cardinal and gold and performed during the Pep Rally in front of the Alumni Center starting at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

Fourteen pairings originally performed their skits Oct. 25 in front of seven judges, who chose eight pairings to be painted for second cuts Wednesday.

The first pairing to take the stage during the final performance was Cyclone Bootcamp, which was made up of Sigma Pi, Kappa Alpha Theta and Triangle.

The winning pairing of Yell Like Hell 2015, Delta Tau Delta, Alpha Delta Pi and Acacia, took the stage next with their original skit, Graduation CYremony.

“We just knew we wanted to win, and we really worked on the judges’ critiques from the last two performances,” said Abby Bergquist, sophomore in management information systems and member of Alpha Delta Pi. The last group to perform was made up of Chi Omega, Alpha Gamma Rho and Pi Kappa Phi with a skit titled CYrassic Park.

During the final performances, pairings no longer had a time limit to consider.

With the conclusion of Yell Like Hell, came the start of Lawn Displays.

around since Iowa State’s first Homecoming in 1912, is a competition between the greek houses to create the best display on their houses’ yards This year, the display shows began at 8 p.m. Friday and ended at 10 p.m.

Every house had the chance to show off its creation to students and the public.

Each pairing built a lawn display based on creativity to present to the audience after the Pep Rally.

Some of the themes of the night included Halloweentown, Disney and Amesbridge.

The winning group consisted of Theta Delta Chi, Tau Kappa Epsilon and Alpha Phi with their “Peter Pan” themed display.

Chandler Bane, junior in agricultural systems technology and a member of Alpha Gamma Rho, said it took members a little over a month to build the entirety of the set for their lawn display.

“It’s a time commitment and it takes a lot of will-power,” Bane said.

This was Bane’s third year helping with the building process of his pairing’s lawn display.

At 11:15 p.m. Friday, the winners in the greek community of the various Homecoming events were announced on Central Campus before mass campaniling and fireworks began at midnight.

The winning pairing of Homecoming 2015 was Chi Omega, Alpha Gamma Rho and Pi Kappa Phi. As this year’s Homecoming festivities come to a close, the greek community prepares for Varieties starting Nov. 8 and Greek Week in the spring.

Sixth Street closes Monday

By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com Beginning Monday, Sixth Street will be closed for the next nine months.

Work will be completed on that area in order to replace the existing bridge with a concrete beam bridge. The new bridge “will provide a physical barrier between vehicles and pedestrians, as well as include an on-street bike lane on the bridge deck,” according to a city of Ames release.

Construction will also take place on the approach pavement leading up to the bridge from the east and west, which will extend approximately 300 feet.

Vehicle traffic will be rerouted from Sixth Street to Lincoln Way for the duration of the project, according to the news release.

Pedestrian and bicycle detours are also planned through Brookside Park across the pedestrian bridge and following asphalt paths.

Brookside Park will still be accessible for public

ISU welcomes 103rd Homecoming

By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com As the chill of the night set in, ISU students and alumni gathered together outside of the ISU Alumni Center on Friday to get ready for the upcoming Iowa State vs. Texas Homecoming game.

Celebrating its 103rd year at Iowa State, ISU Homecoming’s typical traditions included a pep rally and mass campaniling the night before the big game.

Other activities throughout the night included Yell Like Hell and the greek lawn displays.

The festivities began with a performance by Shy of a Dozen, an a capella ensemble-for-hire that is affiliated with Iowa State, who performed songs such as “Radioactive” and “Barbara Ann.” The marching band, the ISU Dance Team and Cy performed next. They pumped up the crowd by performing the “Fight Song” and other ISU original songs.

Jeff Johnson, president of the ISU Alumni Association, then welcomed the crowd with a warm, “What’s up Cyclone Nation!”

He further introduced President Steven Leath, the women’s basketball team, the men’s basketball team, the volleyball team and the football team. After each team was introduced, Steve Prohm, head coach of the men’s basketball team, attempted to do a rendition of “Sweet Caroline,” which prompted a few laughs from the crowd.

For some, the pep rally was a chance to get back to Iowa State roots.

Dan Drum, ISU alumnus from the class of 1959, said he came back for Homecoming because he “kind of liked it here.”

Drum’s three children are also ISU alumni. He said that one of the biggest

questions he finds himself asking when he visits is, “what’s that building?” because of the significant changes to Iowa State’s campus.

The night concluded with the crowning of the 2015 Cardinal Court.

Austin Javellana was

announced as the king, and Zoe Hildreth was announced as the queen.

“I think that [the Homecoming traditions] sets the foundation of what Iowa State is. An institution, and in my opinion, one of the most historical institutions in the state,” said Dan

Breitbarth, Student Government president. “We really have stayed true to our missions since the very beginning and provide an opportunity for anyone in the state of Iowa to come and get a high quality education.”

Breitbarth said one of

his personal favorite parts of Homecoming is when everyone congregates on campus for mass campaniling, a tradition where ISU students truly become an Iowa Stater as they kiss their significant other under the Campanile at the stroke of midnight.

Biden’s announcement benefits other Democrats

By Rakiah.Bonjour @iowastatedaily.com Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Martin O’Malley and Bernie Sanders all shared a proverbial sigh of relief recently after the combination of Vice President Joe Biden announcing his decision not to run for president and the conclusion of the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Des Moines.

However, the bumps in the road to riches are still forming. Republicans continue to gain numbers in polls, and many voters are still left undecided.

The 2007 JeffersonJackson Dinner set thenSen. Barack Obama apart from his opponents and pushed him on to win Iowa’s caucus. However, this time around, no one candidate stood out from the other.

“The [JeffersonJackson] dinner showed the candidates had a lot of good things to choose from,” said state Sen. Herman Quirmbach, D-Ames. “[Clinton] is a very formidable candidate, Sanders says what needs to be said and O’Malley is showing a lot of enthusiasm.”

The reason the candidates aren’t standing out from each other much at this stage in the game is what Quirmbach refers to merely as respect.

“Democrats are showing support for each other,” Quirmbach said. “I spoke with a student after the [Democratic] debate who really nailed it, and she said ‘the adults showed up.’”

Unlike the Republicans who squabble in Twitter fights and call each other out to reporters, Democrats are standing united, Quirmbach said.

Republican candidates Donald Trump and Jeb Bush had a Twitter back-andforth last week that caught the attention of many.

“How pathetic for [Trump] to criticize the president for 9/11. We were attacked and my brother kept us safe,” Bush tweeted Oct. 16, starting a fued that went on for two days over the social network.

Not willing to offer the last word, Trump weighed in on Twitter.

“No [Bush], you’re pathetic [...],” Trump said.

“Like it or not, our country needs more energy and

Joe Biden announced recently he would not be running in the 2016 election, which led to many Biden supporters becoming undecided voters.

spirit than you can provide!”

With a few more responses from each candidate, Trump finally had the last word, saying that Bush needed to focus on how to fix his own problems instead of defending his brother, George.

Clinton weighed in after the Republican debate, where Bush and Trump both shared the stage, saying, “It’s reality TV — with a cast of characters who don’t care much about reality.”

And Clinton’s comments could have some truth behind them.

Some political analysts agree that the Republicans have yet to show any camaraderie toward one another, unlike the Democratic candidates.

“They [Democrats] show respect for each other in a serious, adult-like fashion,” Quirmbach said.

But Clinton, Sanders and O’Malley will need more than just camaraderie to garner those undecided votes.

Once Biden denounced his opportunity to run, many political analysts thought his decision would push those who were holding their support out for him exclusively to other candidates, but it’s not so simple.

Alex Doser, senior in mathematics and president of the ISU College Democrats, said there wasn’t even a huge Biden contingency on campus to pick and

choose from.

Voters are still undecided because they want to be, not because their favorite candidate dropped from the race.

“Everybody has issues that affect them personally,” Doser said. “It could be college debt, it could be climate change, but [the candidates] have to find those issues that resonate with [the undecided voters.]”

Doser and Quirmbach both agree that the best way for the candidates to lock in those undecided voters is to just wait it out until caucus season.

“Iowans take their duty as first in the nation very seriously,” Quirmbach said.

“They take their time to make up their minds.”

Doser said given the “good three months we are away” from the caucus, candidates can still hammer out their important issues to the voters.

“People recognize they still have a lot of time,” he said.

The best way for the undecided voters to decide is to get involved during political season by registering to vote and going to the caucus, Quirmbach said.

“I strongly encourage all students to get involved,” Quirmbach said. “For many, it’s the first time they can get involved with the voting process, it’s a large responsibility.”

Rubio rides debate momentum to Iowa

By Travis.Charlson @iowastatedaily.com MASON CITY, Iowa — 2016 Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio hit the road this past weekend, making five stops in Iowa to talk with potential caucusgoers and to spread his campaign’s message.

The stops included Council Bluffs, Sioux City, Mason City, Orange City and Des Moines.

After a strong performance in the Republican debate last week, the senator from Florida has stuck with his campaign’s central theme — attempting to appeal to conservatives with emphasis on his personal story.

“If you’re looking for a good conservative, look to Marco Rubio,” said state Sen. Jack Whitver, R-Knoxville, Rubio’s Iowa campaign chairman, said during the Mason City stop.

Rubio is often pegged as voters’ second or third choice, but after solid performances in the Republican debates, he has started to draw more interest.

“He moved up a peg for me,” said Jeanie Haas, a Mason City resident who attended Rubio’s event.

“There wasn’t one thing that he said that I really disagreed with.”

His personal story of being raised by hard-work-

ing, immigrant parents is something Rubio often alludes to in his campaign speeches. He says he is grateful for the successful opportunities he has had — opportunities he says are only possible here in America.

“He so loves America,” said Karen Campbell, a Mason City resident. “He really portrays that and what it did for his family and the opportunities it provided him.”

Speaking in Mason City, Rubio answered questions on a broad range of topics, covering ISIS, health care, education reform, taxes, the budget and immigration.

Rubio spent a good amount of time answering questions about how he would handle immigration reform and detailed a plan involving a better tracking system for visas and beefing up border security in certain areas.

“I wanted to hear what he had to say about immigration,” Haas said. “I had heard his stance might hurt him, but I thought that he did an excellent job and answered the questions exactly how I wanted him to.”

Rubio emphasized that the United States needs to be tougher when it comes to foreign policy, saying that our adversaries don’t respect us and our

allies don’t trust us.

“I liked when he talked about ISIS and the Middle East and how he would take care of it,” Steve Pirkl said at the Mason City event. “I really like his stance on foreign policy.”

John Lee, a social studies teacher from Mason City High School, also thought foreign policy is one of Rubio’s strong points.

“I don’t like the direction we’ve been going,” Lee said. “ISIS is something that’s scary to me. Being firm and kind of putting us back on the map that way I thought was his biggest point.”

Although Rubio’s campaign appears to be gathering momentum and support, his opposition often points to his shortcomings — most notably his voting record in the Senate.

Another issue people often have with establishment Republicans is the idea that they tend to look after big business more than they do the working class.

“I think [Rubio] gave a message that Republicans all the time miss on,” Lee said.

“They should be the party of hardworking Americans, and [Rubio] has a message of entrepreneurship. I hope he can deliver that more and more, and I think needs to.”

Tuition hike raises concern International students foresee effects of spike

By Jake.Dalbey @iowastatedaily.com Tuition is high, and it may be getting higher for those in the international community.

The recent Iowa Board of Regents meeting has caused questioning among Iowa State’s international community in regards to a proposed annual tuition increase that could affect current and incoming students from outside the United States.

Concluding its two-day meeting Oct. 17, the board brought to attention the request for tuition of all international, non-immigrant students to be increased by $500 annually.

This proposal would bring the annual cost of attending Iowa State from around $29,960, including room and board, to more than $34,000 across four years for the undergraduate program, according to the Office of Admissions.

According to the university, these additional funds will be used to further educate and keep up with

the growing international population. The current enrollment number for international students is 3,980, an increase of nearly 200 students from the 3,797 enrolled last fall.

Though the proposal was created to help fund future functions inside the international program, not all students are on board with the university’s plan for using the extra funds.

“I would not oppose the increase, as much as I would make sure that each $500 increase would be going toward the international students’ benefit,” said Vivek Lawana, a graduate student in biomedical sciences.

As an executive member of the Graduate and Professional Student Senate, Lawana has not seen a clear path regarding where the money will be spent, a problem he sees moving forward into the Board of Regents’ vote in December.

“None of us [GPSS Board], to be very frank, has a really clear idea of what it is,” Lawana said. “It came to our notice about a month ago and we thought that it was something new and the administration would talk more about it. Then all of the sudden we noticed that it’s at the Board of Regents.”

Lawana not only sees the issue as a point of confusion for himself but also for

other international students.

“When you ask a student to pay five more dollars their first question will probably be, ‘Why?,’ even if only for $5,” Lawana said. “This is $500 we are talking about, so you have to ask, Why? If you then ask why and don’t get a clear answer, say 25 percent is going here and 15 percent here, then it creates a lack of confidence.”

Zain Amin, sophomore in finance and historian for the Association of Malaysian Students, said he doesn’t believe the tuition increase will affect him positively.

“When I first knew about this, I was quite surprised and feel that an increase in tuition fees will kind of burden me,” Amin said. “This is mainly because right now my country’s currency is pretty low. Maybe $500 doesn’t seem like a lot, but if you change it into our currency it really does make a difference.

As part of moving to a new country, foreign students often come to the United States packing very little, making the first semester a costly venture and the proposed tuition increase a possible obstacle.

“As an international student during the first semester we have to buy everything,” Lawana said. “We don’t have domestic parents or friends to help us out so

we have to get everything from Walmart, along with clothes and phone services.

It’s a lot of pressure for us and our parents. So if you just waive the fee for the first semester of the school year it would help reduce the weight of coming here.”

Though a graduate student himself, Lawana would like to see the funds create programs to help international students become more accustomed to life in in the United States, in order to avoid issues he had as a freshman.

“When I first came to America I didn’t know how to get to Ames from Des Moines, so I spent almost $50 getting here because I was scared to ask,” Lawana said. “So I suggest they use that money to provide a bus service for all international students coming to ISU from the airport before the movein week and possibly provide a night’s stay in the empty dorms.”

Whether the current tuition plan will be initiated is unknown, and it remains to be voted on at the next Board of Regents meeting in December.

“I don’t think that we need to increase the tuition fee in order to help the international program,” Amin said. “The program right now works just fine for me,” Amin said.

Courtesy of Ames City Council Five Ames community members running for City Council are from left to right: Bronwyn Beatty-Hansen, Dan DeGeest, Tim Gartin, Chris Nelson and Matthew Converse. Each candidate has goals for the city such as Converse’s ideas to modernize parks and increase retail; Nelson’s concern for housing and affordable rent; DeGeest’s support for more “multimodal” transportation; Gartin’s focus for volunteer opportunities within the city and Beatty-Hansen’s promise to bring a fresh perspective to the council. The elections will take place from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday in multiple areas across town.

CITY COUNCIL p1 Converse, owner of Converse Conditioned Air, said he would like to see more local internship opportunities for ISU students so they don’t have to uproot themselves for a summer or semester.

Efficient transportation is another issue Converse said he would plan to address if elected to the council.

Some of those changes, he said, need to be making CyRide available for everyone, traffic flow adjustments to Duff Ave. and throughout the city as well as the extension of Grand Ave. to 16th Street.

Converse said these changes need to happen with the future in mind.

“Iowa State isn’t going to stop at 36,000 students,” Converse said.

Converse also said he wants to see an increase in the quality of life by modernizing the city’s parks and provide an increase in retail.

“There’s no reason why a regional community like Ames should have people driving to Des Moines to shop,” Converse said.

Ward 4 Chris Nelson is running for re-election of the seat for Ward 4 against Dan DeGeest.

Nelson was elected to a two-year term on the council, due to redistricting, and is the vice president of Nelson Electric Company.

Nelson’s biggest concern lies in housing and rent affordability as well as affordable housing for low to moderate income families.

Nelson said this affects everyone, including students. He said high housing rates don’t help retain students in Ames and he would like to see students take jobs here.

“We have jobs,” Nelson

said. “We want people to stay here. We want them to be a vibrant part of the community.”

Transportation, infrastructure and quality of life are more focuses of Nelson’s. Nelson said he’d like to see less business being lost to Des Moines, and to continue activities and events in Campustown and downtown Ames.

DeGeest is a software developer at Workia in Iowa State Research Park, and keeps students in mind on his focus for City Council as he challenges Nelson for the fourth ward seat.

DeGeest said student input is valued and encourages them to vote. He also said students needed to be integrated into the community.

DeGeest said he hopes integrating students will encourage them to stay in Ames after graduation to further enrich the Ames community.

“The students plus ISU is what makes Ames have all the great things it has,” DeGeest said.

Transportation is a another issue of DeGeest’s focus, and has been active on working with the city and the Ames Bicycle Coalition to make Ames transportation more multi-modal and efficient.

He said having residents out walking in the community makes people feel more at home and as if they are a part of something.

“I want to work on things that promote that,” DeGeest said.

DeGeest said he would also love to see Campustown to be continued to be revitalized, and to work on reducing the housing challenges for students and for people under the moderate income level.

Ward 2 Tim Gartin is the only candidate running for re-

election for the seat in the 2nd ward.

He has served a twoyear term on the council and is also an attorney in Ames.

Gartin’s biggest passion lies in his goal to get more volunteering within outreach programs in the city, such as Youth and Shelter Services and the Boys and Girls Club.

He also said he believes there is a lack of foster homes within Ames, an issue that needs to be addressed. Gartin also wants to continue to work on creating more affordable housing in the city for Ames workers who want to live within the city of Ames.

He said there is a reoccurring problem in the city of residents who work in Ames, but can’t afford to live in the community.

“We lose people every day to Ankeny and surrounding communities,” Gartin said.

Caitlyn Jenner is undoubtedly a woman, and the positive impact she’s had on transgender youth by visiting hospitals, LGBT youth centers and acting as an advocate for people who can’t advocate for themselves made her deserving of the Woman of the Year award she received from Glamour, Beiwel said.

Award reflects progress Jenner’s influence on transgender youth deserves recognition

By Maddy.Beiwel @iowastatedaily.com Caitlyn Jenner is a woman.

This is simply the truth.

Caitlyn (nee Bruce) Jenner was born with male genitalia that did not agree with who she knew she was, and has since transitioned into life as a woman.

It sounds simple, but oh, the hell this has raised.

It is understandably quite difficult to estimate the number of transgender people in America because the U.S. Census does not ask participants their gender identity, nor do many other official documents.

Also, many people have ambigious gender representation or presentation and do not fit squarely into a box.

Delving even further into the issue, what makes a transgender person transgender? Is it someone who does not consider themselves comfortable with their given sex but identifies with the other transgender people, or must one begin their transition to “earn” the title?

I ask this not because I know the answer and am planning on revealing it to the greater public in a grand gesture showing superior knowledge but because I have no idea and I don’t think there is some single, allinclusive answer.

I do know, however, that saying that “Glamour couldn’t find an actual woman” in reference to Jenner being named one of Glamour magazine’s Women of the Year was one of the most flat out disrespectful

things I’ve ever read.

It implies that Jenner is not a real woman, with the childish logic that has been repeated over and over again that basically amounts to “She is not a woman because I say so.”

This, along with the instances of incorrect pronouns led me to believe that, as odd as it is to write something directly and vehemently disagreeing with my colleague, I had to share the other side of this and show that what columnist Ben Moran wrote was wrong.

While he was well within his rights to say it, and this column is not here to say he shouldn’t have said it, I unequivocally disagree with his statement that someone who was biologically male does not deserve to be seen as a woman.

One person does not get to definitively decide what makes a woman a woman or a man a man. As difficult as it can be to realize that what you believe about a certain topic is irrelevant, your opinion about what someone’s gender is couldn’t matter less.

The world is changing. I’m not here to push my own beliefs on you, but I’m afraid that sooner or later we’re going to have to change with it, at least a little, or risk becoming relics of an outdated time.

As for the Noah Galloway being a runner-up for the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPYs, as deserving a candidate as he is, he was never even officially considered.

While I feel that this situation was mishandled, most people didn’t even know about the ESPY Awards and suddenly, at the mere notion of a transgender woman receiving some sort of accolade, rushed to their keyboards to protest that she didn’t deserve it.

And as for Jenner being more deserving of a Man of the Year award is absurd because she isn’t a man. To

say that she became a woman is to imply that she woke up one morning and thought to herself, “You know what would be cool? If I decided to completely reject who I was before, transition and upset a lot of people in the process, just for the hell of it.”

No, she didn’t ask to be called Caitlyn on Jan. 1 to publicly live as a woman for a full year, but her transition had started long before the media caught on. She officially transitioned in March, and using the logic demonstrated in the column, March is not halfway through the year.

She has been, officially, a woman for more months out of this year than not, and therefore it makes no sense for her to get the Man of the Year award.

Her work, as Caitlyn, with transgender youth has been monumental, so to say she hasn’t done enough to deserve it holds no truth. She acts as a figurehead for transgender youth to look up to, of which there are a scant few in the mainstream media.

Jenner goes to hospitals, LGBT youth centers and acts as an advocate for those who are unable to advocate for themselves.

I am sick of people saying that the work she does is unimportant.

I’m sick of it because it’s not generally transgender people saying this, and yes, if she’s not advocating for you then maybe it doesn’t feel like she’s helping.

But she’s out there and helping a marginalized and underrepresented group of people. She’s important, and prejudices against who she is and how she presents herself don’t change that.

Do I believe Jenner deserves the Woman of the Year award? As was pointed out in Moran’s column, there are many, many women deserving of the title, and Jenner is unquestionably one of them.

Obesity benefits deter from living healthy

By Beth.Woodruff @iowastatedaily.com Obesity numbers have been on the rise during the last few years. With an average of 1 in 3 adults considered obese, and 2 in 3 classified as overweight, you could easily call these skyrocketing numbers an epidemic.

Since the spike in numbers, obesity has been labeled as a disease, and has even been established as worthy of disability benefits through Social Security.

This overly sympathetic attitude has gone too far.

Obesity is primarily determined by an individual’s body mass index. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, a BMI between 25.0 and 29.9 is overweight, while a BMI of 30.0 or higher is classified as obese.

A person’s BMI in the overweight or obese category may not mean they are unhealthy, as the BMI does not differentiate between weight from muscle and weight from fat. Generally speaking, however, a person’s BMI is a strong indicator of what his or her healthy weight range is.

Although some instances of obesity deserve empathy, such as clinically diagnosed medical conditions, which cause the obesity. One specific example of an obesity triggering condition is an underactive thyroid, which causes slowed metabolism and fatigue. Other obesity-causing conditions may include Cush-

ing’s syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome.

Mayo Clinic, however, states that these obesity-causing conditions are extremely rare and cites inactivity and unhealthy eating habits as the principle causes of obesity in America, which speaks volumes about why obesity should not be considered a disease.

The American Medical Association officially ruled in 2013 that obesity is a disease. A Gallup Poll found that only 21 percent of Americans agree with this decision.

While I agree in some instances that obesity is a medical problem out of the control of an individual and should be referred to as a disease, specific boundaries need to be established so not everyone with obesity is benefiting from medical aid.

A lack of physical exercise and improper diet are among the leading causes for obesity, so I don’t see how something that is self-inflicted can be classified as a disease. Rather, obesity is an individual’s lifestyle choice and does not warrant the same privileges as the other uncontrollable causes for obesity.

Regrettably, our politically correct society is endorsing this unhealthy way of living by providing monetary benefits and positive reinforcements to obese people who are responsible for being obese.

The U.S. Social Security Administration released a clause defining how obese and over-

Columnist Woodruff argues that obesity is often a lifestyle choice rather than a disease.

weight individuals can acquire disability benefits. While it’s difficult for a person to receive benefits on his or her obesity alone, as the person’s physical and/or mental abilities must be considered significantly impaired, it creates easier ways to qualify for disability.

The Social Security Help website explains that individuals who do not get accepted for benefits because of their obesity alone can still get accepted as long as their weight problem is causing other health issues that hinder their working abilities. The health problems can include high blood pressure, poor circulation, respiratory functions, et cetera.

Unfortunately, this precedent makes receiving benefits too easy for individuals who are obese by lifestyle choices and not by medical conditions.

The Oxford Journal published that at least two-thirds of the prevalence of high blood pressure can be directly attributed to obesity. This makes the attainability of disability benefits far too accessible for obese individuals.

While I believe some individuals suffering from obesity deserve disability benefits, it’s a lot less people than are currently getting benefits. In order to receive benefits, and to be called a disease, obesity should be medically evaluated and associated with a bodily malfunction.

The true leading causes for obesity don’t warrant awards and positive reinforcement.

While almost all obese people suffer from some other health problems, if the obesity did not originally stem from a bodily malfunction, why does it deserve to be reimbursed?

Voters should be informed, not guided “The deck is stacked and there’s a problem with that,” or “you’ll have the great pleasure of voting for the man that will easily go down as the greatest president of the United States.”

Although these campaign ads used very different tactics in an attempt to grab the attention of Americans everywhere, they do have one very important thing in common — they aren’t giving you a choice in what to believe.

In the first case, we hear Hillary Clinton giving her take on where economic power lies in America — with men, she says — while in the second we hear Donald Trump tell voters what an honor it will be to vote for him because he feels he will be the greatest president there has ever been.

In both of these cases, viewers are being force-fed opinions and stances on certain issues, like those demonstrated in these campaign ads, formed by various politicians - not limited to Clinton and Trump. Too often voters take these exaggerated statements at face value.

But when taking into account where the power lies in this country, in the hands of those who vote, is it right to simply take what they are handing out on a silver platter? Is it responsibility using the American right to vote by passively accepting the information politicians want voters to receive?

No, it’s not responsible or logical.

What needs to take place during this time of campaign ads and polling dates is a formation of one’s own opinion taking into account what candidates are saying, but not just leaving it at that.

Interested voters should be researching candidates and their histories with certain topics, especially the main points of the campaign this year, including immigration, funding Planned Parenthood, America’s high indebtedness, foreign relations and more.

And this goes for any instance of voting in this country.

Whether it be for Ames City Council on Tuesday or for the next president of our country, it is crucial not to vote based on just the information about candidates being put out there, but on how you as a voter use that information to construct your own view of how things should be.

That’s the thing when it comes to the dozens of campaign ads that occupy air time on most any channel these days: they tell viewers what to believe but stop there. It’s after that point that the real work for voters begins.

If you are mostly concerned about education, look into how each candidate plans to help college students dig out of debt or how they plan to help youth education grow and adapt.

It’s looking past personal disdain of various candidates based simply on their party or even on who they are as a person, and seeing what they want to do if elected for their position. It’s understanding the ramifications of both sides, voting for them or against them, that matters the most.

ISU quarterback Joel Lanning dodges a tackle against Texas on Saturday. The game marked Lanning’s first career ISU start under center, and the redshirt sophomore completed 19-of-37 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown. He added another 64 yards on 13 carries. Redshirt freshman running back Mike Warren added to Lanning’s strong offensive performances with 157 rushing yards on 32 carries.

HOMECOMING VICTORY ISU defense dominates in 24-0 shutout

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com The Cyclones had a lot to prove when they ran onto the field at Jack Trice Stadium Saturday night.

After putting together only two wins in seven games, ushering in a new offensive coordinator and naming a new starting quarterback, the Longhorns presented Iowa State with a test as to whether it could turn its season around.

But Iowa State (3-5, 2-3 Big 12) beat Texas (3-5, 2-3 Big 12) 24-0 in dominating fashion — marking the Longhorns’ first shutout loss to an unranked opponent since 1961.

“We shouldn’t [have] beat Texas, probably,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads.

“Every kid that they recruit, if I go recruit them I’m not going to get them. But we did [beat them], and we have twice, because the program is moving in the right direction. I’ve got great coaches and I’ve got unbelievable players that care and play for passion in the cardinal and gold jerseys that they wear.”

The win Saturday marked just the second time in program history that the Cyclones have defeated the Longhorns. The first came in 2010, also under Rhoads, when Iowa State beat Texas in Austin, 28-21.

But not only did the Cyclones top a program that is historically one of the best in the country, they held them scoreless.

“It’s a defense’s dream,” said linebacker Levi Peters. “That’s good football. You play good football, you shut a team out. That’s going to give us confidence the rest of the year.”

And for a defense that has been questioned and doubted nearly every week this season, Rhoads said the win means a whole lot more.

“[It means] that the 3-4 is an OK defense, that Wally [Burnham] is a pretty sharp coach, that the rest of the staff knows what they’re doing and that we’ve got kids that play with an unbelievable work ethic and passion,” Rhoads said.

“Tonight, they made more plays. They tackled better, they pursued, they put more pressure on the quarterback and they got what’s been coming to them — a shutout. They played really good football.”

Texas was held to 204 total offensive yards Saturday and had just 11 first downs in the entire game.

85 yards. As a team, Texas completed only 12 passes on the night and threw one interception.

And when the ISU defense stopped the run on first and second down, the Longhorns struggled to find success through the air — something Iowa State took advantage of.

“They were a one dimensional team coming into this game, so they were going to try to run the ball down our throat,” said safety Qujuan Floyd. “Once we stopped [the run], they didn’t know what to do.

They tried to pass, but it didn’t work. We just had to

ISU defensive back Brian Peavy wraps up Texas wide receiver Daje Johnson Saturday night at Jack Trice Stadium.

The ISU defense forced seven three-and-outs, and the Texas offense crossed midfield just three times all night.

Throughout the season, Texas has averaged more than 206 rushing yards per game.

Texas quarterback Jerrod Heard, who is averaging nearly 70 rushing yards per contest and has ran for more than 100 yards twice this season, was held to just 13 rushing yards against the Cyclones.

“We needed to win first down, that was important,” Peters said. “[And we needed to] get them throwing the ball. They didn’t like to throw the ball.”

Peters was right.

The Longhorns didn’t like to throw. Texas threw just 22 times Saturday for

shut that down and finish the game through.”

Iowa State will face both Oklahoma and Oklahoma State the next two weeks, which have combined for just one loss. Both programs average more than 270 passing yards per game, and about 169 and 128 rushing yards per game, respectively.

And while the challenge will be different than what they were faced with this week, the Cyclones hope to ride into Norman, Okla., next week with the same level of success.

“Going into the next game, we have a lot of momentum,” Floyd said.

“So basically, we’ve got to start fast next game just like we did this game, and we’ll maybe get the same result. You never know.”

Lanning, Warren lead offensive attack in win

By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com The ISU offense dominated almost every statistic that could be found Saturday night in Iowa State’s 24-0 victory against Texas.

It doubled Texas in yards, had over 15 minutes more than Texas in time of possession and had as many run plays as the Longhorns ran total plays.

The dominating performance was certainly helped by the defense shutting out Texas, which overshadowed the offense’s 24 points to assist in the Cyclones’ second win against Texas in school history — both of which occurred under coach Paul Rhoads.

And all of this is coming on the heels of a new offensive coordinator, a new starting quarterback and three straight losses.

“It’s been a stressful week for myself and [offensive coordinator Todd Sturdy] and pretty much the whole offense,” said quarterback Joel Lanning.

“We just kept together as a brotherhood and just kept fighting. It’s great to get a ‘W,’” Rhoads announced last Monday that Lanning would be taking over as the starting quarterback, replacing fifth-year senior Sam Richardson. Rhoads’ first take of his new starting quarterback: Not exceeding expectations, but not disappointing as well.

“I would say that it was very accurate to what I expected to some degree,” Rhoads said. “What happened to Joel in his first start, when he had the whole team this week and all the preparation to go through, against a team that brings a lot of pressure? It was about what we expected.”

Lanning impressed with his feet, rushing for 64 yards on 13 carries and

had more than a few 3rd down scrambles that kept multiple ISU drives alive.

What Lanning did the best on the night, though, was show his ability to handle pressure in the backfield. On multiple plays, he could be seen dancing and jumping away from defenders and throwing the ball while being away from the pocket.

“I think he handled the pressure extremely well,” said wide receiver Allen Lazard. “He was able to escape and make big plays with his feet and with his arm. I was very impressed with him. I’m not saying I’m shocked or anything.

I’ve been watching him do that since high school.”

Lanning, an Ankeny, Iowa, native, took a lot of hits while attempting to evade pressure. But every time he would jump right off the slippery gridiron and right back into the huddle.

Rhoads called it “Ankeny tough.”

“He is a competitive, competitive kid,” Rhoads said. “He stayed in there, under pressure, and made some throws. He’s tough.

He ran for productive yardage, whether that was by design or scrambles. He took some hits on some scrambles and got up. The team knew who the leader was and who’s in charge.”

It wasn’t all good for Lanning, who barely reached a 50-percent completion rate on the night.

He threw the ball short of receivers on multiple occasions, some of them being open with room to run.

Lanning attributed his throwing woes to throwing off of his back foot, something he will address in practice this week.

He had one stellar throw, though — an overthe-top pass to receiver Dondre Daley in the end zone. It was Lanning’s best throw of the night and his only touchdown pass on his way to 188 passing yards.

Almost lost in all of Iowa State’s personnel changes this week, redshirt freshman running back Mike Warren put up anoth-

er impressive performance and didn’t disappoint the more than 54,000 fans in attendance at Jack Trice Stadium.

Warren rushed for 157 yards on 32 carries — his fifth game of 100 or more rushing yards in his last six games.

Warren is now 46 yards away from 1,000 total rushing yards this season, a mark that hasn’t been reached by an ISU player since 2009, when Alexander Robinson ran for 1,195 yards.

The mark is still etched in Warren’s mind. Earlier in the week, Warren said he would take the linemen out to dinner when he crossed the 1,000-yard threshold.

“It means a lot to the O-line,” Warren said. “I’ll probably be going broke in the next week, but, you know, it’s all worth it.”

But in a game of so much success for Iowa State, there were concerns for the offensive line. Guard Daniel Burton went down with an injury during the first half and didn’t return to the game.

Rhoads said after the game it didn’t look good.

“Not good,” Rhoads said. “Probably not seasonending, but not good heading into Oklahoma.”

The line also lost Jaypee Philbert Jr. late in the game. His status is still uncertain.

There won’t be any moping around practice this week, though, as Rhoads and the rest of the team made a statement against one of the perennial powerhouses in college football.

Now having the third win of the season under its belt, the rest of the team can hang its hat on a victory against Texas, a bright spot that critics haven’t been able to point to in the past couple of seasons.

“People are always going to have an opinion,” Rhoads said. “And I appreciate that. Sometimes I wish it was a realistic opinion. But they’re going to be critical, and they’ll be happy tonight. Those people will be silent tonight.”

Cyclones unleash shootout Hockey sweeps Augustana with 11-0, 18-2 wins

By Austin.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com Cyclone Hockey coach Jason Fairman said after sweeping Lindenwood last weekend that he expected his team to be the topranked team in the American Collegiate Hockey Association rankings.

The Cyclones came in at No. 5 in the rankings, and Augustana was the team that felt the wrath this weekend.

Cyclone Hockey combined for 29 goals over the weekend, by far the best all season, en route to a series sweep.

Augustana is a Division II ACHA team that entered the weekend with a 0-12 record on the season.

“We worry about ourselves, so it doesn’t matter if they’re 12-0 or 0-12,” Fairman said. “If we play our game then we have a good chance of success.”

Augustana wasn’t the first non-Division I team to visit Ames this season with the potential to be overlooked.

On the Tuesday before last weekend’s sweep of Lindenwood, Williston State, a junior college team, came in and handed the Cyclones their second regulation loss of the season.

Cyclone Hockey rested its top six forwards, three of its top five defensemen and played a team mostly made up of Division III players.

Fairman wasn’t going to overlook the Vikings this weekend and came out with his regular starting lineup.

Senior forward Alex Stephens and freshman forward Jon Severson control the puck in Friday night’s game against Augustana. The Cyclones defeated the Vikings 11-0 and 18-2 in two games this weekend. Although the Vikings were 0-12 before facing the Cyclones, Cyclone Hockey coach Jason Fairman didn’t overlook the team, and defenseman Kody Reuter agreed to “not take anyone lightly.” The Cyclones were playing with some added motivation after falling in the rankings from No. 3 to No. 5, despite sweeping the No. 2 team in the country.

BONUS STAT The 18 goals scored Saturday night were the most scored all season in a single game as well as the most goals scored under head coach Jason Fairman.

Hockey Friday night. “No matter who you’re playing you have to show up and bring the effort, otherwise you’re going to find yourself running into trouble like we

did last Tuesday.”

Reuter, a sophomore, doesn’t have many opportunities to score as a stay-athome defenseman, which made his goal a little sweeter than the other 11 that were scored Friday night.

“It felt pretty good,” Reuter said. “It’s been overdue, so it was good to get a goal tonight.”

The Cyclones were on the consistent attack over the weekend. The Cyclones controlled the puck for the entirety of the series, leading to just six shots on goal against goaltender Derek

Moser and a shutout Friday night.

Moser battled an injury at the start of the year and was a step behind in the goaltender competition.

He said it was important to go out and show everyone what he’s got. “[You] definitely always have to take advantage of any opportunities you get,” Moser said.

Augustana only dressed 11 players for the weekend, and it wasn’t the first time the Vikings had taken a beating this season.

Successful attack results in dejá vú for Iowa State

By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com Practice makes perfect.

Sophomores Monique Harris and Alexis Conaway have been working on the slide attack throughout the last month. This practice led to a successful attack against Oklahoma on Saturday.

A slide attack is when the middle blocker runs around the setter as she is setting the ball behind her.

The set is supposed to be in line with the blocker to create a solid kill and point for the team.

Harris had 54 assists against Oklahoma, and Conaway had a matchleading 17 kills. Oklahoma witnessed this success from Conaway and Harris in the previous matchup Sept. 30.

Iowa State traveled to Oklahoma for that matchup, and Conaway had 17 kills and Harris had 58 assists.

Similar statistics and similar results. “[Alexis] Conaway had probably one of her best days today,” said ISU volleyball coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “She couldn’t miss any shot. I think that slide attack is working well between the two of them.”

Challenges, galore The experimental chal-

lenge replay system was in full effect Saturday when Iowa State and Oklahoma played against each other. The match consisted of eight challenges, which caused play to slow down.

In the Big 12 experimental challenges rules, each team gets three challenges per match. If the team gets the call correct, it gets the challenge back to reuse, but an upheld challenge results in a loss of one of the team’s challenges.

Oklahoma and Iowa State used four challenges each. Out of those eight challenges, two were reversed. Harris said it’s not the referee’s fault, but rather the close match between the two teams.

There were 23 ties and eight lead changes during the match, which resulted in the coaches deliberating between every close call.

“It was a tight match,” Johnson-Lynch said. “If it’s a critical point in the set then you’ll see more challenges than if it’s a wideopen match.”

Tory Knuth shows impact Senior middle blocker Tory Knuth had significantly more playing time Saturday against Oklahoma.

block assists, but her presence on the court was impactful. Johnson-Lynch said she has seen her improve throughout the season and believed she deserved more playing time. “[Tory Knuth] is a great blocker, an elite blocker,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Last year at this same time, she started to come on and had more pop in her arm.”

The team will need her blocking ability and presence on the court throughout the next few weeks. Iowa State will play Texas Christian, Kansas State and Texas before Thanksgiving break, and Knuth will need to show her blocking dominance.

at the college level.”

The multitude of Cyclone Hockey goals was a result of the Cyclones being much more skilled than the Vikings, but also unleashing the anger the team built up from falling in the ACHA rankings.

After sweeping the No. 2 team in the country, Cyclone Hockey fell from No. 3 to No. 5.

“It was a little bit of a slap in the face after we swept the No. 2 team in the nation,” Reuter said. “It gave us a little bit of extra motivation this weekend.”

attempting to move up to the Division I ranks in the ACHA, so it scheduled a difficult schedule of multiple Division I teams. The Cyclones were the most talented opponent for the Vikings all season, and it showed in the 11-0 and 18-2 Cyclone victories over the weekend.

“This is more about a program that wants to go DI,” Fairman said. “It’s not easy building a program so I want to try to help if I can. You have to do what you have to do to help the growth of hockey, especially

Once either Perez Rotich or Erin Hooker has been spotted on the crosscountry course, it’s not difficult to find the other.

The two runners finished back to back Saturday at the Big 12 Championship in Stillwater, Okla., for the third time in seven meets they’ve competed together, with Rotich finishing first and Hooker second.

But the two performances weren’t enough to add a fifth consecutive Big 12 Championship for Iowa State.

“In defeat there is still victory,” ISU women’s cross-country coach Andrea Grove-McDonough tweeted in reference to the two runners’ performances.

The Cyclones finished second in the meet behind Oklahoma State with 52 points, and despite losing her first conference championship in three years as the coach, GroveMcDonough still provided a positive message: “I’m proud of this entire team. We did everything we could do [and] we took some risks. In the end just too many hurdles

to overcome this season.

But fight we did. We’ll be back. Champions never quit. ... They just regroup.”

Injuries and setbacks to three of the ISU women’s cross-country team’s top runners have pushed Rotich and Hooker into lead roles in 2015, and both have performed well under the pressure.

Crystal Nelson was redshirted earlier this year because of a heart condition, Bethanie Brown has yet to compete for Iowa State this season as she continues to battle back from injury, and freshman Becky Straw was unable to compete Saturday after suffering an injury two weeks ago.

But there’s still room for optimism.

Hooker and Rotich have displayed great amounts of improvement this year for Iowa State, and that was no more evident than during Saturday’s Big 12 Championship.

Rotich finished 79th at last year’s Wisconsin adidas Invitational and 13th at the 2014 Big 12 Championship. She finished 23rd and first in those two meets this year, respectively.

Hooker, on the other hand, placed 103rd at last year’s Wisconsin adidas

Invitational and 14th at the 2014 Big 12 Championship. She finished 24th and second at those two meets this year, respectively.

“I tend to hunch up and get really tense during races,” Hooker said after last year’s performance at the Wisconsin adidas Invitational.

This year, the redshirt sophomore is running much more loose and with more confidence.

“I think there was some added pressure going into this season, but now that we’ve started I think we know where we can finish and where we can place,” Hooker said.

“We don’t know, but we have an idea.

“We’re not feeling the pressure. We’re just having fun and seeing where we can end up at nationals.”

The next meet for the Cyclones is the NCAA Midwest Regional, which will take place Nov. 13 in Lawrence, Kan. Rotich and Hooker finished 13th and 14th, respectively, at last year’s NCAA Midwest Regional, helping Iowa State win its fifth consecutive regional championship.

The duo will be relied on heavily again this year to make it six straight.

DRAG p1

Charlie Coffey/Iowa State Daily

Shadya Severe accepts money from the audience at the 2015 Lesbian Bisexual Gay Transgender Ally Alliance Drag Show on Saturday night in the Great Hall. The 2015 Drag Show hosted 11 performers who accepted dollar bill donations to support the LBGTAA annual trip to the Midwest LGBTAA Conference in 2016.

allow ISU students to either participate in the show or experience something different from their daily routines.

Starting preparation for the fall show immediately after the spring show and vice versa, the drag shows typically involve a lot of time and effort to make sure everything runs as smooth as possible.

This involves getting the rooms reserved quickly to avoid possible mishaps.

“We want it to be in the [Memorial Union] and we want people to be able to go,” said Kathryn Smith, senior in public relations and LGBTA Alliance president.

“We don’t want it to end up being off campus or anything, which can happen if you wait till the last minute.”

The Drag Show, which has been going on for as long as Smith can remember, has not always been strictly rooted with ISU students.

In the past, the committee in charge of the show would bring in drag queens from Des Moines, but it noticed after a while that the students participating grabbed more of the attention.

“The people that ended up getting the most money were the people that went to school here because their friends were here to support them and their friends

were the ones holding up the dollar bills, tipping and making them feel good [...],” Smith said.

Smith wondered why the Drag Show wouldn’t be exclusive to ISU students because it is an ISU sponsored event at the university and hosted by an ISU organization. So the first ISU exclusive show took place last year.

This allowed students who really enjoyed drag, or just wanted to try something new, to be able to go through the experience with the support of the alliance, their friends and not have to worry about anything but having fun.

The process Registration for the show took place in early October, when participants came prepared with a 30-second part of their act, themselves dressed in drag or a picture of them in drag, along with their performance shoes.

The only limitations following that is that all the songs are limited to about four minutes, nothing to obscene and no nudity.

“The motto last year was, ‘If you would not sing the song in front of your elder, you probably shouldn’t be doing it,’” Smith said.

Torres performed “Take Me To Church” by Hozier.

Shadya Severe then followed with “Right Now” by Britney Spears, and Heidi N. Dix performed “Fire N Gold”

After the intermission, the LGBTA Alliance cabinet was introduced to the audience.

Smith also introduced the people who were beneficial in organizing the performance.

“We do have a lot of organizations who helped put this on,” Smith said. “Our souls have been sold.”

Mentions of thanks were sent to the Queer Graduate Student Association, which helped judge the costumes, KURE 88.5 and the Graphic Design Social Club.

After a dance-off by the costume contestants, Sugar B. Waters came out alive to the song “(Drop Dead) Beautiful” by Britney Spears.

Robyn Davis then shocked the audience with

a mash-up between multiple songs, including “Thriller”

Onyxxx Gemz then performed once again with “How Many Licks” by Lil Kim, which received many donations of dollar bills from the audience.

Bringing all the performers onto the stage, the night was concluded with one last performance — a duet by Joocee Gemz and Onyxxx Gemz.

“It’s just people who enjoy dressing up in the opposite gender’s clothing and putting on makeup and just entertaining,” Wilson said.

“At the end of the day, that’s what we are, we’re entertainers. So, anything we can do to give the fantasy or fulfill a fantasy of the audience of wanting a diva or guys that come out and just rock your socks off, that’s what we try to emulate on stage.”

The contestants were then narrowed down to six people.

Some of the costumes included a flapper, a gang of pirates and a “bloody priest.”

History of drag Drag has been a part of Western culture for centuries, dating back to past Shakespearian times, when men dressed and acted out women’s roles in plays. Drag has also been found in both ancient Roman literature and classical Chinese theater.

This is all deep rooted through the general idea the drag is used as a form of entertainment, where usually a man will impersonate a woman by wearing makeup, styling their hair and wearing the other gender’s clothing.

This is not to say that women cannot participate in drag as well.

Originally used as a derogatory term to describe a gay man, the term ‘queen’ has been around since as early as the 18th century.

Initially beginning in the 1950s and 1960s, the drag queen scene didn’t fully take effect until the 1980s and 1990s, which is around the time when gay culture started to properly develop and flourish.

Drag is not to be confused with being transgender, as noted by Blake Wilson, sophomore in communication studies.

“There’s this giant notion that doing drag is the same thing as being trans, or that this is a way to explore a different part of you that maybe identifies as being trans, but that’s completely not what it is at all, at least from my personal experience that’s not what it is,” Wilson said.
