Players react to new ISU football coach By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com I t w a s a b i t t e r s w e e t a nnouncement for the ISU football team Sunday, as the players found out that former-Toledo coach Matt Campbell will be the next head coach at Iowa State. Just a week ago, the team was informed by ISU Athletic Director Jamie Pollard that Paul Rhoads would coach his final game for the Cyclones on Saturday. Now, a day removed from that 30-6

loss to West Virginia, the players are seeing a major change in the program. “That’s the first coaching change we’ve been though,” said captain Levi Peters. “I was heartbroken, I was sad, I was upset. But just like anything, it’s a quick turnaround. We just played the game yesterday, and we have a new head coach today. You just got to stay positive and get ready for the next challenge.” Pollard and Associate Athletic Director David Harris held a team meeting Sunday afternoon to

inform the team of the new hire. Campbell was not in the meeting, but he is expected to be in Ames later in the day and will officially be introduced as the head coach Monday at a press conference. The overall consensus from the players was bittersweet, as one might expect after a change at head coach. But the players say they know that it’s time to move on with Campbell at the helm of the program. “It’s been tough,” Peters said. “It’s been different. We have a re-

ally good relationship with coach Rhoads and his staff. It’s a tough week for us, but it’s time to move on. As a player and a coach, you know that. These tough times, they’re not going to last. You need to keep going, you need to keep rolling.” Campbell will address his players Monday when he is officially introduced. The players said they want to hear some of the same sentiments that Rhoads often shared. “I want to know how much he cares about us and this pro-

Coach off the court Adviser helps student-athletes find passions By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com Jeff Cesler has been coaching players through their academic careers longer than most of today’s student-athletes have been alive. Ces, as his advisees call him, has worked at the Office of StudentAthlete Development since 1994. He is now an associate director and academic coordinator for women’s basketball, swimming, soccer and volleyball. His job — cultivating a passion for learning in each student-athlete and across majors — is difficult for someone who is neither a coach teaching players a sport they love nor a professor trying to inspire in the classroom. From his office in the HixsonLied Student Success Center, Cesler is a model of efficiency, sporting a long-sleeved, white Under Armour shirt and khaki pants, shifting through an array of colored papers littered across his desk. He’s in the middle of a weekly meeting with one of his first-

year students, a soft-spoken swimmer from Israel. It’s registration time, and her academic adviser recommended she take a certain class. Cesler disagreed, saying he knew of a similar class that would move at a better pace for her. When she mentioned the professor for another class, Cesler made a humming noise. “I know which ones I can roll my eyes at,” he said. He asked her about an asCESLER p8 signment he knew she was

Last dining candidate leads forum The final candidate interviewing for the ISU Dining director position led the last open forum at 11 a.m. in the Cardinal room of the Memorial Union on Friday. Currently the general manager and director of operations for dining services at Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania, John Gaughan began his presentation on “Three National Trends in Campus Dining and how they can impact Iowa State University.” “I’m here to interview you as you interview me for the candidacy of director,” Gaughan said. Speaking to a room of about 15 people, Gaughan opened with a quick overview of his résumé involving his experience with the food industry. Gaughan noted that his experience with traveling around and opening up several schools is a fundamental aspect to his

career and knowledge of the industry. “Trends are funny,” Gaughan said. The three trends in campus dining that Gaughan recognized during his presentation were an awareness of environmental issues, sustainability and community service, a push on physical and food safety and current food trends such as abnormal eating habits of students. Gaughan talked about how more universities have been building to enhance power savings and long-term sustainability through waste management. Gaughan outlined several points of handling waste at Iowa State. He hopes to implement the Food Recovery Network, which is a national organization that collects unused portions from the dining centers and donates them to local church and organizations to feed people in need. Another push that Gaughan made was to encourage better student and food safety.

gram,” said wide receiver Allen Lazard. “Other than just the wins and losses, [I want to hear] that he cares about the program so he can bring us to the next level.” Running back Mike Warren is one player who was particularly happy. He was heavily recruited out of high school by Campbell and his staff, and nearly committed to play for Campbell at Toledo. Current ISU running back coach Louis Ayeni was one of the coaches under Campbell at that time.

“With 1,700 student workers putting in five to 20 hours per week, is it possible to give them enough training to keep themselves and our guest safe?” Gaughan said. Recalling a story of a young girl who got injured while working a machine at his current job, Gaughan hopes to improve the safety at Iowa State by training and regularly discussing safety to integrate it into the ISU Dining culture. Gaughan also discussed food safety, recalling the latest food mishap with Chipotle. The last trend that Gaughan recognized is the correlation between Generation Z and healthy or organic foods. “The current generation of students are born ‘foodies,’” Gaughan said. “Expectations of world cuisines and massive amounts of information from a variety of sources create a knowledge base far superior to previous generations.” Gaughan hopes to adapt to Generation Z by buying locally-

sourced meats and produce, minimizing processed foods, adding authentic cuisine and condiments to meals, changing operation hours to meet schedules and adding more “in-house” items. Overall, Gaughan hopes to create a healthier way of eating for students. The last point Gaughan touched on was using technology to aid the students in ordering and connecting with dining centers. “[Technology] will continue to grow in our lives, creating opportunities we haven’t even dreamed of yet,” Gaughan said. He stated that this can be done by remote retail ordering, creating specials online and posting food items onto Instagram. “We need to communicate via technology to get their attention,” Gaughan said. The forum allotted time for a quick question and answer session after Gaughan’s presentation.

In a letter to the ISU community on Friday, President Steven Leath said he acknowledges that acts of racism and discrimination occur at Iowa State and said that ending discrimination is one of his priorities. Leath said the incident during which student Jovani Rubio’s poster was ripped during a protest during the Cy-Hawk game and the following open forum in September partly organized by Students Against Bigotry, now known as Latinos United For Change, proved that “racism, bigotry, discrimination, and marginalization are happening on the Iowa State campus.” “The forum provided me an opportunity to listen, learn, and feel – to truly understand what some of our minority students, faculty, and staff have endured; and it underscored the importance of empathy and action,” Leath said in the letter sent out in an email. Since the Sept. 30 open forum, Leath said he and administrators have addressed issues by (excerpt from the letter): 1. Immediately following the Discussion on Racism, Diversity, and Inclusion, I charged my senior staff to compile recommendations from the university community. The email addresspresident@iastate.edu was provided at the forum to submit concerns or recommendations. 2. Oct. 5, we launched the process to develop the university’s new Strategic Plan. I named the Strategic Plan Steering Committee and charged them to develop a plan that features four overarching goals, including one specifically focused on ensuring a welcoming, safe and inclusive campus environment. 3. Oct. 6, Latinos United for Change (LUCHA) provided a list of grievances and needs and solutions to improve the campus environment pertaining to ISU Police, recruitment and retention of Latino students, financial assistance for Latino students and other minorities, ensuring

Hacking stereotypes Lumberjacks, lumberjills challenge traditional image By Mariah.Griffith @iowastatedaily.com The modern advertiser’s image of a lumberjack is a burly middle-aged man with a bushy beard and a flannel shirt. However, 11 colleges and universities around the Midwest, including Iowa State, are challenging that stereotype with collegiate timbersports teams. For competitions, these teams compete in approximately 15 racingbased events. Individuals, pairs or relay teams win by hacking and sawing their way through specified types and lengths of wood faster and with more finesse than their competitors while using specified techniques. For newcomers, the events can appear to be a dangerous frenzy. Wood chips and chunks fly from the competition stage as razor-sharp racing tools eat through the soft wood. One competition tests accuracy by challenging participants to light a match or chop it in half with a single swing. In an-

other, called the underhand chop, competitors balance on a short pine log and cut it in half by swinging an axe between their own feet. But the sport isn’t all breakneck hubbub. “The first time I competed in the underhand chop, I think I’d only chopped through two logs in my whole life,” said Olivia Rauen, sophomore in animal ecology. “You accept you’re going to look a little goofy and everyone is really supportive, trying to help and yelling encouragement.” Rauen is the youngest of four women currently on the ISU team. “I think some girls get intimidated by the strength aspect of it,” she said. “I’m smaller, and there are a lot of really big, strong guys at competitions, but there’s a lot more technique to it than people realize.” Team members said about 75 percent of the current ISU competitors are men, and according to the Office of the Registrar, more than 80 percent of this semester’s enrolled forestry majors are male.

Various members said expanding the timber sports team as a whole, and adding more women, would be beneficial. Then individual competitors wouldn’t have to fill as many event slots in the same competition, which would prevent them from getting tired. In addition to events, competitions commonly include professional workshops, which provide students with individual feedback and tips from professional foresters and timbersports record holders. The biggest regional competition of the year, called conclave, happens in the spring. Here, competitors compete against one another, but also compete to earn spots competing in the national Stihl Timbersports Series. The entire series is televised, and the professional division includes even more events and more complex skill requirements. Iowa State will host the 65th annual Midwestern Foresters’ Conclave in spring 2017. “Right now we don’t

get much publicity, but we will try to publicize a lot next year because conclave is a big deal and it should be a great chance for other students to see what we do,” said Abraham Harms, senior in forestry, Forestry Club president and timbersports competitor. The ISU team is open to lumberjacks and lumberjills of any major and skill level so long as they participate in the Forestry Club, which sponsors the competition team. “It’s great exercise,

gives you experience with regular axes and saws as well as some chainsaw experience … and it’s a way for students to network with their peers and professional organizations,” Harms said. By participating in the Forestry Club, students also have opportunities to volunteer with conservation teams around the county and the state. Past projects have included invasive species removal, trail building and prescribed burning, among

others. The Forestry Club will also host its annual holiday tree fundraiser as the holidays approach. “I’d say to join with a friend,” said Julia Schwager, senior in forestry, club vice president and timbersports competitor. “The club and timbersports team are great ways to get to know people, particularly upperclassmen, but it’s nice to come in already knowing someone because that makes it easier to laugh at yourself and get better.”

A recent poll from Iowa State University and WHO-HD showed Hillary Clinton as the front-runner among Democratic presidential candidates and Ben Carson as the frontrunner among Republican presidential candidates.

Carson, Clinton lead in new poll ISU, WHO-HD release leaders in presidential race By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Ben Carson and Hillary Clinton both lead in the race for president in Iowa, according to a new poll from Iowa State University and WHO-HD that was released Wednesday. In the crowded Republican race for president, Carson has support from 27.2 percent of likely caucusgoers. Marco Rubio is second with 16.7 percent; undecided voters are third, making up 16.2 percent; and Donald Trump is fourth with 14.7 percent. On the Democratic side, Clinton has support from 49.5 percent, while Bernie Sanders has the support of 27.8 percent of likely caucusgoers. Of the remaining Democrats who are planning to caucus, 13.7 percent are undecided and 6.3 percent said they would vote for “other.” The poll also showed that Iowans are paying close attention to the race, with 81 percent of those polled saying they are following the race in Iowa either “very closely” or

“somewhat closely.” About half of those polled also said they “definitely” have decided or are “leaning” toward supporting a specific candidate in the race. As for the most admirable traits, “honest and trustworthy” was first at 38 percent, while “takes strong stands” came in second at 20.8 percent. “Economy in general” was cited by 22.2 percent as the most important issue in the race. The polling was conducted by phone with 1,074 registered voters between Nov. 2 and 15. The margin of error is approximately 3 percent. Another wave of polling from Iowa State and WHO-HD will be conducted between Jan. 2 and 15. Faculty in the political science department, the statistics department and the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication worked on the poll. The ISU Office of the Vice President for Research, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics, as well as WHO-HD and the departments above are funding the research. The Iowa Caucus is scheduled for Feb. 1.

For many students at Iowa State, classes are no laughing matter. However, for the students in Iowa State’s Comedy College seminar, laughter is the final. In the seminar, taught by professional entertainer Gavin Jerome, students learn to create and deliver stand-up comedy material in a classroom environment. Jerome has worked in the entertainment industry for over 20 years, according to his website, moralemechanic.com. He’s also had the opportunity to work with entertainers such as Jerry Seinfeld and Steve Harvey. For the past 10 years, Jerome has been working as a public speaker and has spoken to numerous companies. He’s made appearances at 3M, The Principal Financial Group, Target and IBM. After developing their skills during the course of the class, students deliver their final eight- to 10-minute routine in the Maintenance Shop of the Memorial Union. The seminar is sponsored by the Iowa State University Honors Program. Peter Orazem, university professor of economics, loves comedy and has helped Jerome teach the class. “If you write a joke, and you’re on stage, and it kills, it just feels great,” Orazem said. “You get a real adrenaline rush when you work on a bit, you practice it in the shower, you wonder if something like this is gonna fly and it does.” When Orazem isn’t teaching or working on comedy he serves on the Ames City Council as the representative from Ward 3. Ward 3 extends from south of Mortensen road over to the western region of Ames. Orazem was elected to an atlarge position on the council in 2010, and won the Ward 3 seat in the 2013 elections.

served in the position since 2014. Orazem said the skills taught in comedy class can be carried over to students’ academic and professional careers. He said editing is key, as when a comedian is trying to move from the setup to the punchline as fast as possible, less can often be more. “You don’t need adjectives in comedy,” Orazem said. He said his experience with comedy has transferred over to his teaching, as there are many parallels to giving an effective lecture and an effective performance, especially in regards to keeping the audience engaged. Teaching students how to deal with the fears and uncertainties of performance is also a key part of the class. “Gavin gives them on the first day the ‘no suck’ guarantee, which is, ‘if you are willing to put in the time, we will make sure you have a good experience,’” Orazem said. Orazem said no students have ever frozen up on stage. Nicholas Seymour, senior in mechanical engineering and president of the comedy club, said Comedy College heavily im-

proved his communication skills. “I used to hate speech, but after taking comedy class, I enjoy it a lot more,” Seymour said. Seymour said that before taking Comedy College, he would never land interviews after career fairs, but now he’s gotten many offers after improving his confidence. “I really think it improved my personability,” Seymour said. After taking Comedy College, Seymour helped start the comedy club to give students a place to work on jokes and practice delivery. Seymour said the students in comedy club can carry these skills with them for the rest of their lives. “If you can deliver eight minutes of stand-up, you can do anything,” Orazem said. Iowa State’s comedy club website says that if students join they will not be forced to go onstage until they feel that they have a solid act planned out. For those interested in joining the Iowa State’s comedy club, a weekly meeting takes place at 6:10 p.m. every Tuesday in Carver 0032.

Student Curated Exhibition: In cooperation with the Multicultural Student Center, students will be invited to curate a biannual exhibition for the Reiman Gallery of the Christian Peterson Art Museum on central campus. Multicultural Art Exhibition: University Museums will present an exhibition by a multicultural artist who uses art to present issues of diversity. The exhibition will also include public programs and will be incorporated into curriculum across campus. These steps are in addition to the university’s extensive ongoing diversity and inclusion efforts.

Another change to be implemented includes an evaluation of student orientation programs to include “culturally dynamic opportunities for students to engage with one another.” Leath also asked that student clubs and organizations be conscious of creating an inclusive atmosphere. “Acts of racism, bigotry, discrimination, and marginalization have no place on college campuses or in society, but we cannot ignore the fact that they are happening and Iowa State is not immune,” Leath said in the letter. “The reality is there are students, faculty, and staff on college campuses across the country, including here at Iowa State, who do not feel completely accepted, welcome, or safe.” “We must acknowledge this openly and candidly.

Columnist Lawson believes there is no single solution to ending homelessness, but we have to try to improve the issue by making housing more affordable in areas that have high rates of homelessness and by remembering the people who have become homeless.

Homeless need our help

We must try to end societal epidemic plaguing our country By Angelica.Lawson @iowastatedaily.com

e have an undeniably evergrowing homeless population in this country. By that, I mean there are too many men, women and children who do not have a place to call home. It’s time we make changes to our policies and public services so we can decrease the homeless population in the Unites States. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, in January 2014, 578,424 people experienced homelessness on any given night in the United States. Of those people, 216,197 were in families, and 362,163 were individuals. About 15 percent of the homeless population — 84,291 — are considered “chronically homeless” individuals, and approximately 9 percent of homeless people — 49,933 — are veterans. Thankfully, individuals are attempting to make changes to these overwhelming issues. Lava Mae from San Francisco, Calif., started a mobile shower non-profit. Mae converts old buses into portable showers for the homeless

community in San Francisco in hopes of improving their quality of life. Mae calls the service “radical hospitality.”They get to know the people who use the resource, they listen to their stories, and that is enough to make a person feel like a person again. Collide, a non-profit shelter in New York City, serves the homeless and their pets. Many pet owners consider their pets as family and consider providing for their pets as a priority, which holds true in the homeless community, as well. Many homeless shelters have a strict “no animal” policy, but hopefully, more organizations such as Collide will recognize the value pets have in people’s lives and realize that they also need care. Collide provides the animal and its owner with important lifesustaining services. Vaccination, licensing and spay and neuter services are available for pets. Food is also provided for the pet and its owner. Homelessness has touched our own community as well. An annual fundraiser in Des Moines called Reggie’s Sleepout was created to help youth who age out of the foster care system during their transition into adulthood. Reggie Kelsey, the inspiration for the sleepout, aged out of the foster care system, and with no resources to turn to, was found three months later in the Des Moines river. Drake Stadium hosts youth from across Des Moines one night every

fall. The participants sleep outside and are only allowed to bring a box, pop-up tent or sleeping bag to experience what so many others experience on a nightly basis. The event raises awareness and money to help transitioning youth. One life that is lost to homelessness is one too many. There is no reason that this should be a reality in today’s society. What is the solution? There is no single way to end this societal epidemic, but we can try. We first need to get more affordable housing projects approved and built in areas that have higher homeless rates. We also need to remember the people who have fallen into poverty and homelessness. Remembering kids who have aged out of the system and veterans who make up almost 9 percent of the homeless population will give us something to work against. We need to create more public service outlets for these individuals and lobby for more funding for organizations that support this mission. The men, women and children who are homeless in our country and community need a helping hand. We can be this helping hand by building affordable housing, creating job training or employer-incentive programs to hire a homeless people and changing the criteria of food assistance programs. There are many ways to provide a step up in life without just giving a handout.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Protecting environment will protect people By Joe Heegaard field organizer Climate Reality Project In a state that is renowned for its supreme agriculture, I was shocked to learn that Iowa’s poverty rate is 12.4 percent. All of the land around us is used to grow food, yet we still have people going hungry. When I saw a sign that read, “End Climate Change, End Extreme Poverty,” I wondered how that correlated with environmental advocacy. I learned that despite the exper-

tise of our farmers, it is likely that crop yields will continue to diminish because of climate change. Protecting people cannot be accomplished without protecting the environment, and vice versa. We also cannot fix the environmental problems we face when 12.4 percent of our workforce is going hungry. It is time that we stop isolating these issues and accept them as mutually perpetuating conditions. Let’s embrace a safe, sustainable and responsible future, and let’s do it together.

Free-speech zones diminish students’ rights By Robert Dunn senior in accounting Student Government senator I am writing this as the primary author of the bill that would expand the free-speech zone. I am also the person who moved to table the bill indefinitely. I regret my decision and apologize to the student body for being cowardly and throwing in the towel. As a passionate advocate for the Bill of Rights, I became shocked that a public university restricted the right to peacefully assemble to a tiny free-speech zone on campus. After careful research at other universities that have either voluntarily changed their free-speech policies or have had to by court order, I formulated my own ideas with the help of the University Affairs Committee, which I sit on; Student Legal Services; outside constitutional attorneys such as David French, who spoke to students a few weeks ago about free speech; and Warren Madden, senior vice president for business and finance.

The resolution that was presented and debated on was the fruit of this labor. Yes, the bill is not perfect. Unfortunately, we have a culture of hyper sensitivity and political correctness on college campuses that makes it extremely difficult, if not downright impossible, to have an intelligent discussion about the First Amendment. Until we say enough to safe spaces, trigger warnings and microaggression culture, among other forms of censorship of speech on our campuses, compromises like these are in order. Unfortunately, many of my Student Government colleagues are willfully and arrogantly dismissive of students who express desires to be treated like adults and have the same rights they take for granted off campus. Fortunately, one of my other colleagues is going to resubmit the bill, and we will have it debated on during the last Senate meeting on Wednesday. I will fight this time instead of throwing in the towel. Students of Iowa State University, flood your senators who represent you in either your College or Residential Constituency

In a release to the ISU community Nov. 20, President Steven Leath addressed the progress the ISU administration has made in its attempts to make Iowa State a safer, more inclusive and welcoming campus. Included in the statement was a time line of events and decisions since the Sept. 30 open forum, such as: changes in ISU Police; adjustments in the recruitment and retention of Latino students; financial assistance for minority students; ensuring a diverse faculty and staff; creating six subcommittees to dissect the university’s strategic plan; adding another multicultural officer; and incorporating more diverse art around campus. These concerns should have undoubtedly been addressed earlier than 2015, but the issues are now being vehemently talked about, and that’s where we start. The university’s development of such subcommittees and public announcement of a multiplestep process to continue to grow in its attempt to be more inclusive are commendable. Action is obviously needed, and is, according to Leath’s letter, in a position to take place. Looking at Iowa State’s processes and problems gives the university a chance to broaden how it currently thinks. This could be a chance to collaborate with the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa to see how they discuss diversity on their respective campuses. While Iowa State is taking positive steps to improve the quality of an educational experience for minority students, sometimes, a third-party view can be beneficial in finding holes the university may not see. The three public universities in the last three years have undergone a school-wide efficiency review, in which a consulting firm looked into each university’s academics, finances and human resources. The Iowa Board of Regents paid a consulting firm about $2.45 million for just phase one of the efficiency review, the savings results of which aren’t expected to be seen for years and are even expected to be lower than originally projected. So why can’t the regents provide a third-party view — be it be from the regents themselves or from a consulting firm — to look at each university’s inclusivity processes and programs? Shouldn’t this governing body want to be involved in the transformation of making its universities more inclusive and welcoming to the students it serves? Iowa State should most certainly not continue to address its unique difficulties, as doing so will prove to students the dedication of administration and provide more tailored suggestions; however, consulting with the other universities could provide a more diverse conversation and longterm results. While the argument could be made that a third-party consultant would not be knowledgeable to the specific climate of a particular campus, said consultant, or the board itself, could coordinate a collaboration among the state universities and use the opportunity to dive in and learn as much as possible about how each university operates. Another argument could be the cost of doing such; however, if this is an issue that directly involves the student experience, shouldn’t it be on the top of spending priority lists? If racial tension is happening on the ISU campus, it’s happening on the University of Iowa campus and it’s happening on the University of Northern Iowa campus. The purpose of a shared governance should be to keep a watchful eye on university administration and to ensure the high quality of education and student life.

Cyclones drop rivalry dual No. 2 Iowa beats No. 15 Iowa State 33-6 on Sunday By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com The beginning of the Cy-Hawk dual started at 133-pounds. Both teams’ top wrestlers took the mat — No. 4 Earl Hall vs. No. 2 Cory Clark. Hall got a quick takedown 33 seconds into the match. Clark, last year’s NCAA tournament runnerup at 133-pounds, didn’t get a single takedown the entire match. Clark beat Hall 9-2. After the quick first takedown, Hall never looked to get another one. He chose the bottom to begin the third period, which was tied 2-2. Hall was trying to get the escape and win the match. Instead, Clark got a 4-point nearfall and a 2-point nearfall in the third. This trend of Cyclone wrestlers failing to get their offense going continued throughout the day against No. 2 Iowa. The Cyclones lost the dual 33-6. Dante Rodriguez at 141-pounds was one of two Cyclones to win Sunday afternoon. Iowa’s hand fighting definitely slowed down the Cyclones. “I believe that we are always aggressive, they just brought the hand fight to

That shows in Campbell’s recruiting numbers, as he ranks at the top of the Mid-America Conference in recruiting classes and was named a top recruiter by Rivals.com. “[Campbell] actually cares about you,” Warren said. “Really laid back guy. I think he has every piece of the puzzle. He has a lot of fire in him.” There have been some rumblings from players about transferring since Rhoads left, but even with the quick appointment of Campbell, the rumblings seem to have quieted. “We plan on keeping everybody,” Peters said. “I told everybody to have an open mind about this and be ready to do what this

new staff wants and do what they ask.” The players haven’t met Campbell yet, and some of them haven’t done much research on him. All some of them heard was what Pollard told them in the meeting. When asked if he was OK with Campbell as the next head coach, Lazard answered half-jokingly. “We kind of have to be,” he said. But on a more serious note, Lazard was still reeling because of the loss of Rhoads, who was a huge part of Lazard’s decision to come to Ames.

the Cyclones didn’t look overly impressive. Rodriguez is a wrestler known for pinning his opponent and being very aggressive. He had a scoreless first period and only two takedowns in his 6-2 victory.

No. 11 Weatherman beat an unranked Patrick Rhoads 10-9, a match he should have won by more. “We didn’t bring our best match, we didn’t bring our best effort, and that’s very, very disappointing based on all the time, energy and effort that we put in to preparing for these guys,” said ISU wrestling coach Kevin Jackson. Dane Pestano actually got disqualified for stalling in his dual at 184-pounds. Pestano received five stall warnings in his match, which earned him the disqualification. He wasn’t the only Cyclone wrestler to get called for stalling. In total, the Cyclones received eight stall warnings and seven stalls that resulted in Iowa points. The Cyclones knew that Iowa would bring some tough fighting positions and the hand fight, Jackson said. But the Cyclones didn’t match the effort. “The stallings were bad. They were really bad,” Jackson said. “I think it comes from effort. I think it comes from hand fight. I think it comes from effort on the bottom.” It wasn’t all on the wrestlers, though. Jackson was more than willing to place the blame on his shoulders as well. “I take responsibility. It’s my fault, they’re my team,” Jackson said. “Obviously I’m disappointed in myself. I’m disappointed in the performance for sure.”

ISU teams take opposite directions Men claim Emerald Coast Classic title

Women struggle in Cancun tournament

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com

By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa State went into the Emerald Coast Classic hoping to get a second chance against AlabamaBirmingham, who knocked the Cyclones out of the NCAA tournament one year ago. While they didn’t get their shot at revenge, they did leave Niceville, Fla., victorious. After beating Virginia Tech in the first round on Friday, No. 4 Iowa State (5-0, 0-0 Big 12) defeated Illinois (3-4, 0-0 Big 10) 84-73 in the tournament championship Saturday. “I thought it was a heck of a game for 30 to 32 minutes,” Illinois coach John Groce told the Des Moines Register. “[It was] like an NCAA Tournament game in March that’s played in a great environment. I felt like it was a heavyweight boxing match, but the last eight to nine minutes, they imposed their will, and that was the difference in the game.” The Cyclones once again started out slow, shooting just 2-for-8 from the field early. They recovered quickly, though, thanks to a perfect 3-for-3 shooting from Matt Thomas in the first half and his addition of five straight points to give the Cyclones the lead. Illinois found a lapse in the ISU defense in the closing minutes of the first half, however, ending the opening period on a 10-3 run. Iowa State headed into the locker room up just one, 40-39. “We just couldn’t guard them,” said ISU coach Steve Prohm. “They were really playing four guards, basically five guards. We were going bucket for bucket, and we were big. We needed to get to where we were small, and see if we could do a better job guarding them.” Illinois kept things close with the Cyclones coming out of the break, still going shot for shot with Iowa State. But an 18-4 run spanning nearly eight minutes boosted the Cyclones’ lead to 13 with less than four minutes left in the game. The run came with one of the smallest lineups the

The ISU women’s basketball team had a chance to regain momentum in its season with a clean sweep in the Cancun Challenge on Thursday through Saturday, playing Texas State, No. 15 Duke and Idaho on consecutive days. But the warm weather and clear skies didn’t turn out to be all good for the Cyclones, as they dropped two of those three games against Duke and Idaho, and fell to 2-3 on the season — the program’s first losing record since midway through the 2005-06 season. After a loss to Drake on Nov. 15, Iowa State hasn’t been able to get back on its feet. ISU coach Bill Fennelly puts the brunt of the blame on himself. “This team is poorly coached right now, and it’s my fault,” Fennelly said on the Cyclone Network radio show. “I have to do a better job of figuring out ways to make it better. We will, but right now, it’s hard. First time in a long time people won’t speak too highly of us.” Iowa State didn’t have much trouble in its first game, rolling over Texas State in an 83-61 victory, and looked primed for a fight against No. 15 Duke in the second game of the tournament. Early on in that game, it looked like a fight was brewing as the Cyclones took an early lead. But Duke proved to be too much. They jumped ahead and never looked back, coasting to an 86-48 win. “That was the most physical team we have ever played, and we didn’t handle it at all,” Fennelly said. “We just couldn’t get anything going at all.” Fennelly mentioned the possibility of a few players battling illnesses in the game

INDIVIDUAL STAT LEADERS Georges Niang | 23 points, 8 rebounds Monté Morris | 20 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists Abdel Nader | 18 points, 5 rebounds Matt Thomas | 10 points, 3 rebounds

Cyclones have used all season, with 6-foot-9 center Jameel McKay on the bench. “I’m not even sure if it was the lineup,” Georges Niang told the Ames Tribune. “Monté was doing a great job of getting in the lane, making plays and guys were feeding off that ... I think everybody was just feeding off how Monté was playing. He was making big time plays, and that’s what big-time players do.” From there, the Cyclones rode out the run, giving them the 84-73 win and the tournament championship. Niang led the Cyclones with 23 points and eight rebounds Saturday, and Abdel Nader finished with 18 points and five rebounds. It was Monté Morris, though, who perhaps had the biggest impact on the game, finishing with 20 points, nine rebounds and

six assists. Morris, who was named the tournament’s MVP, didn’t commit a single turnover in his 37 minutes of play. “Point guards come from heaven” Prohm said. “I think [former NBA coach] Flip Saunders [said that]. Monté was awesome tonight.” While it’s not the most common lineup, Prohm said that the smaller lineup was the key to eventually outplaying the Illini Saturday night. And as he goes forward leading the Cyclones, Prohm knows that situations like this will arise again — and it’s his job to maneuver the team through them. “You just got to figure it out as you go,” Prohm said. “I’m learning this team as I go both offensively and defensively.

Seanna Johnson attempts a shot against Drake on Nov. 15 in Des Moines. The Cyclones recently lost two of three games in the Cancun Challenge.

BYRANNA FERNSTROM FINDS HER STROKE ISU forward Bryanna Fernstrom found her stroke in the Cancun Challenge this week, averaging 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. She also tallied a double-double in the tournament opener against Texas State. Fernstrom was one of the few bright spots in the ISU lineup along with Seanna Johnson and Jadda Buckley — all of whom had big tournaments. It didn’t help the team win, though, as the Cyclones finished 1-2 in the three games. against Duke, and said it was going to be difficult to find players to go against Idaho. That included the loss of Bridget Carleton, who took a shot to the mouth against Duke and didn’t return. The losses piled up, and it showed on the scoreboard against Idaho. The Cyclones dropped their final game of the Cancun Challenge, 97-65, finishing the tournament 1-2. ISU guard Seanna Johnson wasn’t part of the Cyclones’ struggles. She continued her strong start to the season, averaging 18.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and

3.7 assists per game in the tournament. Johnson also was named to the All-Tournament team. Aside from Johnson, the only other bright spots were guard Jadda Buckley and forward Bryanna Fernstrom, who dropped 25 points in the tournament opener. The Cyclones will take on instate rival Northern Iowa Wednesday and Iowa on Dec. 11, but there is still a lot to do for Fennelly and his squad. “It’s been a really disappointing start to the season,” Fennelly said. “We have a lot of work to do.”

CESLER p1 signment he knew she was working on for a business class. When Cesler sensed she didn’t understand the requirements, he told her to bring it in so they could work on the task together. “I’ve seen that thing so many times,” he said. Pictures of his family and inspirational quotes typed in artistic fonts are scattered on Cesler’s desk and dot the stark walls of his second-floor office. One in loopy font says, “If you don’t have time … make time.” Another shows Cesler’s grandfather and three other young men holding dead animals with “Don’t shoot skinny rabbits” overlaid in white text. “Don’t sweat the small stuff,” he explained. A Helping Hand Cesler graduated from Iowa State in the mid-1980s, then taught math to middleschoolers for eight years, which helped him learn about the diverse needs of students, he said. He learned that motivation is a character trait he cannot teach, only help to inspire. And he rarely has to dig deep to motivate student-athletes, he said, because the competitiveness and passion that make a successful student are also what make a successful athlete. After seven years of teaching, Cesler said, he wanted to return to Iowa State to work in higher education, but he had no idea that student-athlete development was a field he could pursue. He had been a high school athlete and had coached junior high and high school girls basketball, football, golf, softball, track and volleyball. His desire to be a part of a team and to help others led him to walk into the women’s basketball coach’s office in 1994. “I just went in and said, ‘Here I am. I’ve taught and coached for a long time. I’ve never done anything for myself. My life has always revolved around helping other people. Is there anything I can do to help?’” He asked whether he could stuff envelopes. “My life can’t revolve around what I’m doing because that’s not going to work for me. I said, ‘I don’t even care if I get paid or not.’ Her jaw dropped,” Cesler said. “She told me, ‘Let me talk to my staff because I’ve never had an offer like this before.’” A week later, Cesler began to oversee the study table in a student-athlete development office that was much smaller than Iowa State’s current arrangement. He was hired full-time in 1997. Student-athletes often stop by Cesler’s office outside of their typical meeting times to chat. His eagerness inspired one group of 2002 graduates to write a poem that is now framed in Cesler’s office, thanking him for the enthusiasm and stimulus he provided during a difficult time. “You’ve helped shape who we are, for that we are grateful for every drop of water shapes the stone, and thanks to you we’re successful,” the poem reads. “So we leave here today

trying not to cry, for this is the end, but definitely not goodbye.” One of Cesler’s first advisees, basketball player Stacy Frese, struggled with giving speeches, so Cesler demanded that she rehearse in front of Cesler each time. She has not forgotten. As part of her induction into Iowa State’s Hall of Fame this year, she was supposed to give a speech at a dinner before the ceremony. Frese called Cesler and asked whether she could read him her speech. “I said, ‘I guess you can. Don’t worry about it. Just get up there and people are going to love you,’” Cesler said. “The day of the speech, she found out her speech only needed to be three minutes. Then she was nervous because she didn’t know what she needed to cut out. I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, Stace, relax. Relax.’” For first-year student Riley Behan, a soccer player and engineering student, Cesler provides a chance to talk about any academic issues, team troubles or struggles that may arise. “He’s reassured me that it’s just a wall,” Behan said about one conversation. “Just him telling me the rest of the semester will be OK helped me push over that wall.” Cesler’s helpfulness extended beyond his students. “He has a huge heart, but he doesn’t advertise it,” said Tommy Powell, who was head of the StudentAthlete Development Department before current director Patrice Feulner. Cesler has let most of his colleagues borrow his truck, he’s driven to Powell’s home during severe weather to make sure his family knew what to do during a tornado warning and he throws a barbecue for the department each year. He also volunteers in the neonatal intensive care unit, where his twins stayed as newborns. If Cesler’s office is a blank canvas defined by students’ paperwork and inspirational quotes, Feulner’s office is the opposite: tidy and cozy, decorated as if it were a coffee shop. The most prominent inspirational phrase in her office hangs above her desk on a chalkboard. It says, “What’s your why?” This is Feulner’s motto, which she asks her staff and student-athletes to consider. Student-athlete development has shifted in the last decade to focus less on eligibility to compete and more on holistic success and cultivating passions off the court or field. “I ask student-athletes, ‘Why do you want to play basketball? Is it for your family? Is it for your former coach?’ And then I apply that to academics,” Feulner said. “The why behind why you play the sport you love has to be the why behind why you get that degree.” The majority — 79 percent — of student-athletes at Iowa State graduate with degrees in four years, according to 2013-2014 records provided by the Office of Student-Athlete Development. The average GPA for ISU student-athletes is 2.94. Both Feulner and Cesler

Jeff Cesler, known as Ces to his advisees, has worked at the Office of Student Athlete Development since 1994. Cesler graduated from Iowa State in the mid 1980s and has advised student-athletes since the 90s.

Patrice Feulner, assistant athletic director for academic services, asks her staff and student-athletes to find what motivates them in their jobs, in their sports and in the classroom.

said they work hard to help student-athletes develop their own passions. Even student-athletes who play in significant contests that draw national attention might need to go home from those and study for tests or write papers. “I would struggle if I was playing in front of 14,000 fans every day that go crazy for you; it’s incredible,” Feulner said. “When they’re up here, it truly amazes me that they’re able to separate that, and they’re just normal college students that need a little pep talk or some cheerleading from us.” Cesler and Feulner said it’s crucial that students can define their own success. For some students, that means graduation. Others want to graduate with honors and pursue advanced degrees. “I work to get my people to their destination safely, making sure they can compete all four years,” Cesler said. Differentiating the pep talks for each student-athlete is important, he said. “The kind of help that my 3.9 [GPA], wants-to-goto-med-school senior needs is totally different than my freshman from Israel who doesn’t speak English very well,” Cesler said. “Not only are they both student-athletes, they’re on the same team. The only thing you can categorize them the same is they all are honored a letter jacket after their

freshmen year.” Celser and Feulner help the student-athletes realize that their ability to play could evaporate in an instant, which is why they emphasize acadmic degrees. “I don’t necessarily like the fact that they identify themselves so tightly with their sports, but they’ve been doing that since they were young,” Cesler said. “When they come in my office, I do my absolute best not to talk about their sport.” And the student-athletes understand. Kidd Blaskowsky, a senior in communications who plays basketball, said Cesler helped her during her sophomore year when she was struggling with ADHD. Now, Kidd said, she will be the first of nine kids in her blended family to graduate from college, and she wants to use her major in communications to join the military. “When basketball’s over, what’s next? You’re entering the real world,” Blaskowsky said. “At any point, at any time, this could be over. You can’t limit yourself to only one thing that motivates you. You could get the best grades in the world, and then you’re at the Big 12 tournament and your name’s on the list of honor roll. That’s a big deal.” Cesler said he accomplishes his “why” by helping “one kid at a time make it through the next crisis.” 220 Main For all students, Feulner

said, crises are numerous, but being a student-athlete exacerbates the moments of frustration, disappointment and stress. “You’re always moving on. Whether you won or lost, you’ve got to deal with it,” he tells his student-athletes. The door to Cesler’s office is almost always open. It closes when it’s time for hard love, he said. “Whenever I do, it’s definitely going to be one of those conversations,” he said. “I say, ‘I don’t think you understand what’s going on here.’ I grab a box of Kleenex because I know my people are going to need the Kleenex. I’m pretty straightforward and blunt.” Ed Banach, who works in the Athletic Department’s compliance division, said Cesler knows how to coach students in a way that is not harsh but helps them “to see the fallacy of their thinking.” “They don’t care how much we know until they know how much we care,” Banach said. “He was a big

brother to some. (Cesler) would listen to their problems and say, ‘I think you’ve got a valid concern there’ or ‘I think you’re full of crap.’ It would help them mature.” Blaskowsky said it would be hard for any of Cesler’s student-athletes to slip through even half a semester with subpar grades. It’s also difficult to trick an energetic, wily man with access to students’ Blackboard accounts and a firm grasp on most of the classes his students take on. One first-year studentathlete was not wise to Cesler’s tenacity did not include one of her test grades in her weekly report to him. Cesler coaxed the score out during a weekly meeting. A photograph of men holding skinny rabbits is in his office for moments like these. “It’s just like playing basketball and you throw it straight out of bounds,” he said. “A thousand people saw you. Turn around and go play defense. Let’s get this figured out.”
