Hillary Rodham Clinton has never one been to cower in her long political career — making her a woman of many firsts.

Clinton has been working in public policy for over 30 years, ranging from being the first lady of Arkansas to the first lady of the United States and also Secretary of State. Clinton started her work at the Children’s Defense Fund, a nonprofit that advocates particularly for poor children and minority children and those with disabilities.

Many found Clinton to be an active first lady — unprecedented for the position — in that she helped create a children’s health care plan and through her infamous “Human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are human rights,” speech at the United Nations Fourth World Congress in Beijing. “[Clinton being so active] was

Donald J. Trump is a man of many trades. He’s a businessman, a celebrity, a public figure and, most recently, he’s a politician.

Background While Trump primarily built his career in the business realm, he has surfaced as a political outsider in the 2016 election, bringing to the table issues he feels will “Make America Great Again,” a slogan deeply embedded within Trump’s campaign. He received his bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968, and was given control of his father’s business, Elizabeth Trump and Son, in 1971.

Trump went on to rename his father’s business “The Trump Organization.” The Trump Organization owns golf courses, hotels, luxury real estate and corporate business buildings across America.

Since first speaking on his politi-

On Tuesday, many people believe they will simply be deciding between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump for president. But those two aren’t the only options.

While the Republican and Democratic parties dominate headlines and government alike, third parties are working behind the scenes to make their voices heard and get their candidates elected to the presidency.

One of these parties is the Libertarian Party. On its official website, the concept of libertarianism is described as “[believing] in the American heritage of liberty, enterprise and personal responsibility.”

The party is described to be for individuals who “… don’t want to push other people around and don’t want to be pushed around themselves.”

The Libertarian Party has nominated New Mexico Gov. Gary John-

In the heat of the presidential election, the United States has resorted to being simply a two-party political system.

But, Green Party nominee Jill Stein wants supporters to know she’s not backing down yet. Most recently, Stein was escorted off of the premises of Hofstra University — the site of the first presidential debate — after attempting to do a series of interviews before the debate.

In response, Stein took to Twitter to answer debate questions in order to avoid making a scene outside the university grounds. She also did a livestream of her responses, which currently have more than 1.2 million views on Facebook.

But, because she is a third-party nominee, her polling numbers are low, with the highest one being 4 percent, according to a recent McClatchy-Maris poll.

Where to vote on Election Day

By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com To find where you vote on Election Day, you need to look up your voting precinct.

You can look up your voting location through the Iowa Secretary of State’s website.

Note that these locations are different from Iowa Caucus locations you may have visited in February.

Here are the most common voting locations for students living in Ames: • If you live in Maple-Willow-Larch or any Richardson Court dorms, you vote at Maple Hall (precinct 4-2).

• If you live in any dorms on the west side of campus, including Friley and Helser, you vote at the Union Drive Community Center (precinct 4-3).

• If you live in Frederiksen Court, you vote at the Fire Service Training Bureau on the ISU campus, 1015 Haber Rd. (precinct 2-1).

• If you live in SUV/University Village, you vote at Bethesda Lutheran Church, 1517 Northwestern Ave. (precinct 2-2).

• If you live in University West, you will likely vote at Ames Middle School in room B111A, 3915 Mortensen Rd. (precinct 3-2). However, some in University West apartments, including some buildings leased by Iowa State, vote at Holiday Inn, Charolais Room, 2609 University Blvd. (precinct 3-1). Check for your specific

voting location with the Secretary of State.

• If you live in Buchanan Hall or in Campustown north of Knapp Street, including Cyclone Tower, University Tower and Iowa State-leased Legacy Tower, you vote at Buchanan Hall, 2160 Lincoln Way. Anyone south of Knapp Street to Mortensen Road in Campustown votes at University Baptist Church, 2400 Mortensen Parkway (precinct 1-2).

Greek Houses north of Greely Street also vote in precinct 4-1 (Buchanan Hall); any houses south of Sunset Drive at the Greek Triangle vote in precinct 1-2 (University Baptist Church, 2400 Mortensen Parkway).

• If you live in apartments and homes directly west of campus, including on Sheldon Avenue, Hyland Avenue, Campus Avenue and Howard Avenue, you vote at Collegiate Presbyterian Church, 159 Sheldon Ave. (precinct 4-4).

For others living in apartments and homes around the city of Ames away from campus, you will probably have a different voting location, which can be found by entering your address at the Secretary of State’s website.

To register, print out a voter registration form on the Story County Auditor’s website or the Iowa Secretary of State’s website and mail it to the Story County Auditor, 900 6th St., Nevada, Iowa, 50201.

the election, you should find the voting location of where you currently reside. To find your voting precinct and location, visit the Iowa Secretary of State’s website.

To prove you are who you say you are, you need to bring photo identification. Several forms of ID will satisfy this requirement, including a driver’s license, a non-driver ID card, a U.S. passport, a U.S. military ID, an ID card issued by employer or a student ID issued by an Iowa high school or college. An ISU ID you use on campus will satisfy this requirement.

You also need to prove you reside and are able to vote in the precinct you are registering in. To prove your address, bring a document with your current address listed, such as a residential lease, utility bill, bank statement, paycheck or

government check/document.

If you live in university housing or work on campus, your on-campus housing contract or pay stub available through AccessPlus will satisfy the proof of residence requirement.

If you cannot bring the documents listed above, a registered voter from your precinct may attest for you.

Both you and the attester will be required to sign an oath swearing your identification and address provided are true.

Iowa allows college students living away from home to register to vote at your residence for college. If your driver’s license lists your home address outside of Ames or Iowa, you can still register to vote where you reside to attend school.

You can view sample ballots through the Story County Auditor webpage.

Iowa State President Steven Leath sent a video to the Iowa State community with a statement about the 2016 election and a reaction to posters found on campus a couple weeks ago.

Leath discussed the atmosphere in the United States and on Iowa State’s campus this election season.

“The 2016 presidential election has been arguably one of the most contentious, emotional and intense elections in history,” Leath said. “It’s ripped open deep societal wounds and ignited fierce debate in our country.”

He said in this election the First Amendment “has been both exercised to its fullest extent and challenged to its core.” Then he went on to discuss how the discussion of Freedom of Speech applies to the white heritage posters found on campus a couple weeks ago.

“The posters found on our campus two weeks ago may be factually described as “white heritage” posters rather than “white supremacy” posters because they do not legally violate the First Amendment,” Leath said. “However, as human beings we recognize those posters as hateful, racist and bigoted.”

Leath then discouraged students from hatefilled speech.

“Please hear me when I say this — anyone who feels their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion or political views makes them superior to others is encouraged to find another institution that aligns with their values.

Iowa State is not the place for you.”

He said the posters “evoked feelings of anger and disgust,” and he understands that some also feel scared for their safety and well-being.

Leath ended the video by asking people to “honestly and respectfully express your ideas” and go vote.

Questions to expect from your family over the holidays

By ISD Special Sections The holidays are the time when your entire family gets to sit at the same dinner table and catch up on lost time.

Even though this can be the happiest time of year, it can get awkward when that one distant relative asks you these dreaded questions.

We compiled a list of the questions you should expect so you can have time to answer with ease.

DO YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND/ GIRLFRIEND? Ah, the age-old question. Depending on your relationship status, this question can be a great way to chat about your life or a reason to want to crawl under a rock. If

the answer is no, the best reaction is to smile and shake your head.

HOW ARE CLASSES GOING? Maybe you aced the final or maybe you never want to think about the class again. Either way, keeping the conversation positive is the best way to go.

DO YOU HAVE A JOB/ INTERNSHIP YET? This question can be discouraging if the offers aren’t rolling in like you want them to, but talking to people who have been through the process can help. Ask your relatives questions about interviews or their personal experiences in the search for jobs/internships.

WHAT ARE YOU STUDYING? If you are a freshman,

you probably had this conversation a million times with your peers, so you should have this down. For everyone else, it can be frustrating when your family can’t remember this fact, but this is also an easy way to talk about something you are interested in!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AFTER GRADUATION? This is almost as nerveracking as the question about having a job or internship, but talking about your future plans can help you discover other career options that you hadn’t thought of on your own.

Political experts weigh in ByJake.Dalbey @iowastatedaily.com

Lyn Keren/Iowa State Daily

A portrait of Galen Dean Grethen was set in the Gold Star Hall on Monday. The Gold Star Hall ceremony honored Iowa State Servicemen from World War II and the Vietnam War. Veterans Morris Rusch Marks, Galen Dean Grethen, Wayne William Gross and Donald Gary Lammers were honored during the ceremony. The ceremony included speakers Steven Leath, student veteran Brandon Lay and LTC Ethan Dial.

Vets receive Golden honor ByTristan.Wade @iowastatedaily.com Taps rang out as the only s o u n d a m o n g t h e a u d ience in the Great Hall on Monday in remembrance of the men and women who have given their life for their country.

Four veterans, who were alumni of Iowa State, were honored Monday in the Gold Star Hall ceremony.

Morris Marks, Galen Grethen, Wayne Gross and Donald Lammers each served in the U.S. military after attending Iowa StatenUniversity for their education, and each lost their life while defending the country.

“Today is a celebration,” said Diane Rasmussen, sister of Lammers.

Rasmussen said the ceremony helped to heal and

allowed them to “feel the honor.”

Gold Star Hall is the place in the Memorial Union to remember Iowa State students who have served in the military, and Monday’s ceremony was to further remember the lives of four men.

Each of the four veterans’ accomplishments were highlighted on Monday during the event.

Morris Rusch Marks Morris Marks enrolled at Iowa State in 1934 to study veterinary medicine and later studied business.

Marks was a member of the ROTC at Iowa State.

He enlisted in the military in 1942 and began training as a pilot.

He later became part of a bomber crew that was sent to Europe to fly missions over France and Germany.

During a mission in 1944,

the crew came under fire, and the lieutenant died as his plane crashed in the Netherlands.

Galen Dean Grethen Galen Grethen was a student in physics and a member of the ROTC program at Iowa State from 1961 to 1963.

Grethen enlisted in the army, becoming a combat medic and a paratrooper.

He served in Vietnam in the winter of 1965, and the letters sent home often discussed the brutal nature of the war.

Grethen was killed in action after sustaining fatal wounds while trying to provide medical care to a fellow soldier.

Grethen was awarded both the Purple Heart and Bronze Star medals.

Wayne William Gross Wayne Gross was an accomplished scholar dur-

ing his time as a student, attending Notre Dame, St. Louis University and Iowa State, where he earned a Ph.D. in economics.

He was called into action as a Marine in 1968 and was killed in action only one month after arriving in Vietnam, when he was fatally wounded during a firefight.

Gross was awarded with Silver Star and Purple Heart medals.

Donald Gary Lammers Donald Lammers attended Iowa State to study English and graduated in 1966.

He served as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam in 1968.

During a resupply mission, Lammers’ helicopter was shot and crashed down, resulting in the soldier’s death.

Lammers was awarded the Purple Heart after his

Speaking on the current election climate, the nature of the 2016 debates, and voter demographics Iowa State political science experts joined the Daily Lounge to speak on the upcoming election.

Mack Shelley, Iowa State professor and chair of political science, Ben Crosby, associate professor of English and speech communication, and Dianne Bystrom, director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women & Politics spoke during a live question and answer session integrating audience participation towards the discussion.

When asked about their expectations for candidates before the initial debates, Bystrom saw little deviation from what was predicted early into the campaign season.

“This is the first time in a long time historically that Hillary was judged based on scientific to win every single debate,” Bystrom said.”Typically in the cycle one of the other candidates wins in a debate, for example in 2012 Mitt Romney did very well in the first debate and then Obama picked up steam.”

Due to controversy surrounding Trump’s campaign, the panel agreed that expectations for each candidate were vastly different.

“You could argue that Trump exceeded expectations because they were so dismal, so Hillary definitely cleaned up in terms of public opinion results,”Shelley said.”However, I don’t know if they [debates] made that much of a difference.”

By appealing to his voter base, Crosby saw Trump as causing very little harm to himself over the course of the presidential debates.

“Trump did do well in these debates despite the low expectations, and I think he shored up his support with the base and didn’t pick off any independents or left leaning voters.” Crosby said. ”The polls didn’t hit him hard after the debates, I think this is because he played to his own strengths. The debates devolved to circus like chaos often and that plays to his strengths as a candidate.”

Crosby stated that debates often are not handled as debates, but political theater where the candidate who can deliver “the best zingers and one liners” is going to gain the win.

Racial issues highlight panel discussion Students voice concerns over injustices

By Mika.Brust @iowastatedaily.com

By Danielle.Gehr @iowastatedaily.com Monday night, the Memorial Union housed a heated discussion of racial unrest, stigma toward the police, and an election that has left fear in multicultural communities in an attempt to ease tensions on campus.

A Conversation on Safety, Justice, and Students of Color was put on by Black Student Alliance and Student Government in order to give students a platform to voice their concerns over how student counseling services and the local police are handling issues of race on campus.

Malik Burton, president of Black Student Alliance, spoke in his opening remarks, “The issues of police killings of unarmed people of color is rooted in the problem of racism and issues connected to it. There are seeds of prejudices, racism, and police officers in the same vicinity.”

Panelists of the event included Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion Reginald Stewart and Student Counseling Services psychologist Raghav Suri as well as Monic Behnken, assistant professor of sociology, who acted as moderator, along with members of the police force for ISU and Ames PD.

“Tonight I want to clarify one thing, that I am going to be speaking to you from the lenses of an educated black man in the United States of America. I am doing that because one of the disadvantages of being an administrator is that often we don’t get to render your personal opinion,” Stewart said.

Interim Police Chief of Iowa State Police Department Aaron Delashmutt, first spoke of his appreciation for the opportunity to speak to the issues and expressed that as a department they are trying to improve on their communication.

“It needs to be unified across the country as a place to go for for help and I think that’s why I want to open up today,” Delashmutt said. “I can’t promise that I know exactly what it feels to be in those situations, but I promise that we’re here to listen.”

Commander Jason Tuttle was also present on behalf of the Ames Police Department. He began by speaking of two aspects that his station prides itself on –– building relations and problem solving.

Tuttle brought up the fact that he was not in uniform during this presentation and spoke to the fear that comes with the uniform, not only for citizens who are fearful of cops, but also for the officers themselves bringing up the recent murders of two Des Moines officers.

The first question started off with Ebony Williams, a human development and family studies graduate assistant, regarding the election and the danger that

Panel members listen as a student asks a question during the Conversation on Safety, Justice and Students of Color on Monday. Students raised concerns over law enforcement’s preparedness in the case of violence after Tuesday’s election results are announced.

students of color feel that this campaign has put them in and asked what plans the university has to keep their students safe, both physically and mentally.

“We’ve been talking about this [safety after the election] for quite a while in our department. We are concerned that obviously this is a different election than what we have seen in a long time,” said Delashmutt in response. “It’s hard to say without knowing exactly what’s going to happen what were going to do, but we’re prepared for just about anything.”

Delashmutt brought up the recent incident of the white heritage posters found on campus, describing it as not a criminal act leaving

them limited to what can be done as a police department, but still will be there to find resources for students who felt angered and hurt by these posters.

After the responses of the panelists, Graduate Assistant in Education Justin Roberson, before asking his own question, expressed that he felt that the question had not been fully answered and that he wanted to hear an actual plan. Williams agreed and the panelists went on to try to better respond to her question.

“What strategies have you planned to institute when 1950s America resurfaces for race rights at Iowa State University and in the Ames community?” Roberson asked at the end of his impassioned

statement.

During Delashmutt’s final thoughts, he was interrupted by voices to the left side of the Sun Room calling out for a plan from the police to fix these issues and also wanting these discussions to be implemented into the educational system.

Roberson was one of those speaking out and brought up a response from both Tuttle and Delashmutt after a woman asked if she would be arrested if she punched someone who called her a racial slur.

Both Delashmutt and Tuttle responded that the situation would have to be evaluated giving the woman no assurance that she would not face criminal charges in that situation. Roberson

described this as “protecting whiteness” and further spoke of his disagreement with their response.

The controversial discussion touched on how to fight back for yourself in the wake of devastation, especially around the recent grueling election.

“I look at people who had threats against their lives and stood up so that I could be here and do my job and I draw my strength from there. And I feel like I can’t be scared even though I feel it,” Stewart said.

He believes that a prevalent issue with these racial issues is due to excuses made in order to somehow make up for what has been wrongly committed.

“We have this history of rationalizing violent crimes against black people and we refrain them under these ideologies of wrong place, wrong time, misbehavior, etc. Those are excuses and excuses are tools of the incompetent,” Stewart said.

Katherine Seifert, a graduate student in the department of the School of Education, questioned what Iowa State was going to do to teach white students about racism and privilege.

“I have a sneaking suspicion that many white people are not aware of these terms. They think that racism and that bigotry is something that happens to some people,” Seifert said.

The event ended with final words from Malik Burton and was followed by time for people to further discuss matters if they chose.

Confusion and complaints seem to be the only feedback coming from students regarding the proposed meal plan for fall 2017. Students of all backgrounds share similar concerns about practicality and price. What will the new meal plan have to offer?

Why does the price need to increase?

“Many students feel the new meal plan is unnecessary,” said Francis Jayoma, floor secretary in Linden Hall. “It makes sense for the university to profit, but it is not practical for students.”

Jayoma believes the guaranteed food quality increase is a plus for the plan. A lack

of information being released as to how the quality of the food will be improved, however, has left him on the fence in regard to the proposed plan.

To add to the confusion, a fingerprint scanner would allow access into the dining centers instead of an ISU card, and the unlimited meal plan includes a limited amount of guest passes. This means that students would not be able to swipe in their friends.

Meal packs, which are currently offered to off-campus residents as a way to provide some meal swipes, wouldn’t be included in the new plan.

Yash Lekhwani, IRHA representative from Linden Hall and floor president, addressed students’ frustra-

tions with the price increase.

“There will be an increase in housing next year, five majors will be increasing their tuition and now there will be a meal plan price increase,” Lekhwani said. “It all adds up. It doesn’t look like the budget I came in with.”

Students with the bronze and silver plans would have to pay more and have more meals under the lowest new meal plan. Lekhwani said a lot of the residents on his floor can’t afford a meal plan higher than bronze.

Under the proposed plan, students would be able to stay on their meal plan for a semester as a transition into a new meal plan the following semester.

“A lot of the problems with the new meal plan lies in the

communication between the students and the university,” Jayoma said.

He proposed that the university send out an email, at the least, to make it clear to students what is going to affect them directly next year.

Director of ISU Dining Mohammed Ali said during an Inter-Residence Hall Association meeting a few weeks ago, however, that many universities in the United States already have a plan similiar to the one that Iowa State hopes to implement.

“It’s to make the dining centers a lot more friendlier,” Ali said at one of the meetings.

Ali said that IRHA’s feedback is something that they are taking very seriously.

GOLDSTAR p3 death.

“They felt the desire to do more for the people around them, their friends and their families,” Lt. Col. Ethan Dial said as he talked about the “selfless service” the veterans expressed.

A current Iowa State student, Brandon Lay, senior in psychology, spoke at the ceremony about what Gold Star Hall means to him, sharing the story of his best friend who lost his life during military service.

“The Hall represents something dear to servicemen and women ... a commitment to never forget,” Lay said, emphasizing the importance of always remembering and honoring those who served in the military.

Every year, millions of people walk through the Gold Star Hall, and they often might not think about what is on the walls.

Visitors can take a moment to look at the names all around and wonder what those people sacrificed for the country.

Sagittarius - 7

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Something at work requires your attention. Postpone travel. Things aren’t going according to plan.

Achieving the goal may take longer than expected. Don’t venture far. Stresses will ease soon.

Capricorn - 7

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’re wise to finish what you’ve started before launching anew.

Keep enough cash on hand for unexpected difficulties. Confront authority, if that’s what it takes to break through.

Aquarius - 6

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A home project takes an unexpected turn. Obstacles arise. Keep your promises. Leave your savings intact. A change in direction alters options. Be respectful. Be prepared for slow payment.

Pisces - 7

(Feb. 19-March 20) Communications could seem garbled or jumbled, lost in translation.

Postpone an excursion. Curtail extravagance. Strong differences of opinion block the action. Do a lot of listening.

Katy Klopfenstein/Iowa State Daily

Appreciate the democracy in the United States and get out to the election booths and vote on Tuesday.

GO VOTE Katy Klopfenstein/Iowa State Daily

Columnist Karayof argues that in 2016, it was more common for supporters on both sides of the political aisle to spew outrageous hyperbole and delegitimize their opponent than participate in an open discussion on how to improve the current state of the country.

Love Trumps Hate Informed populace is vital to developing a healthy and functioning democracy in the United States

By David.Karayof @iowastatedaily.com As the presidential election comes to a close, I’ve found myself unable to share in the sentiments of relief that have been embraced by voters on both sides of the aisle.

Many are eager to put this election behind us, to go back to a time when our morality was defined by more than the presidential candidate we supported, to forget about how Americans allowed themselves to be manipulated into political tribalism.

In 2016, it seems that it was more important for supporters to espouse outrageous hyperbole and delegitimize the opposition than it was to have open discussion for the mutual benefit of our country.

Throughout the primaries, the media and the Democratic party insinuated that “Bernie Bros” were sexists, misogynists, racist, uninformed basement dwellers driven by naïve idealism and a “penchant for violence.” The media perpetuated that sentiment, widely misrepresenting both Sanders and his supporter’s positions while outright dismissing accusations of impropriety and election rigging in regard to Clinton.

Instead of questioning our representatives, we’ve allowed falsehoods and exaggerations to largely dictate our vote. My fellow Democrats are no longer emphasizing their vision for America and instead relying on cog-

nitive dissonance and voter shaming to win this election.

An informed populace is essential to a healthy and functioning democracy, yet the sinister truth is that dozens of journalists spanning all of the mainstream media outlets have been implicated by WikiLeaks for colluding with the DNC to obfuscate the truth and damage the Republican party.

Filtering the news through a political campaign is a dangerous precedent to set, yet it is a discussion that nobody seems to be willing to have. Of equal concern is the heavy hand that the media played in covering Trump during the primaries, giving him an unfair advantage and promoting the fanaticism that they now condemn.

Donald Trump has been painted as a fascist whose popularity signals the rise of the Third Reich in the United States of America, and all of his supporters have been withstanding character attacks from the media for months. Though there is no denying a racist presence in his campaign, I take issue with the ever present media bias, liberal bias, openly insulting the Republican voters.

They’ve characterized the entirety of Trump’s support base as racists, whose sole interest is to hold on to their white privilege; a group of deplorables whose right to vote is merely an inconvenience to the progress that can be made under Hillary Clinton. A recent study conducted by the Media Research Center found that “nearly all of [Trump’s] coverage

(91 percent) has been hostile” and that, while the media was critical of Clinton, “network reporters always maintained a respectful tone. … This was not the case with Trump.”

By normalizing hatred for Trump supporters, they’ve masterfully driven the wedge deeper between the left and right while the elite class remains firmly in power.

The political landscape has become so polarized that the vast majority of those who support Trump have reserved to do so in silence, or expose themselves to violence. The right has mocked the “tolerant left” for years, implying that our inclusive rhetoric has no merit when put to the test, a notion that, unfortunately rings true.

While I do not support racism, the fact of the matter is that there is much more to Donald Trump, and his supporters, than their thoughts on race relations. Considering Trump and Sanders supporters have nearly identical complaints about the integrity of our media and the election itself, it’s pertinent that we address these issues and find common grounds.

We, the Democrats, could have been the party that unified the nation, but our own hubris and hatred caused us to become that which we lament; in the words of Friedrich Nietzsche, “Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Your vote in this election will count

By Paul Pate Iowa Secretary of State

Our most fundamental rights as Americans come from the ability to choose our representative form of government.

It is up to us, we the people, to defend and maintain these rights. The easiest way to do that is to vote.

Thousands of our fellow Iowans fought and died to protect those freedoms. As the state’s Commissioner of Elections, I urge every Iowan to honor our veterans by casting a vote on or before Election Day. “Freedom is never more than one generation away from ex-

tinction,” Ronald Reagan once said. Those words still ring true today.

There has been a lot of talk in the past few months about cybersecurity and the integrity of our elections system. My pledge to every Iowan is that you will be able to cast your vote on Election Day and your vote will count.

I take the integrity of our elections very seriously. In fact, it is my No. 1 priority.

My office is working with all 99 county auditors to do everything we can to protect the integrity of elections.

Let me clear up a few misconceptions: Our voting systems are not accessible through the internet. They are also not con-

nected to each other. Therefore, a system-wide intrusion into the system is all but impossible.

Also, Iowans vote on paper ballots, not machines.

As for the voter registration database, we have full-time staff dedicated to preventing the Iowa voting records from being compromised.

We have multiple levels of programs and protocols in place to automatically detect any attempted intrusions.

We also rely on the 10,000 serving on the frontline of our elections. Our neighbors are our poll workers and poll watchers.

The system is bipartisan to ensure the integrity. You have my assurance that the Iowa Secre-

tary of State’s Office is dedicated to keeping Iowa’s elections clean and fair.

I also want every eligible Iowan to register to vote and to participate in our elections.

Please, make your voice heard.

There is much more than the presidential race on the ballot.

Offices in the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Iowa Legislature and in your county are being contested.

These elections impact you, your family and your community. Be a voter.

If you need any help finding your polling place or any more information related to casting your ballot, visit sos.iowa.gov and click on the “General Election Information” icon.

Vote Sondra Childs-Smith for District 45

By Robert Dunn Senior in Accounting Cyclone Nation, we have an opportunity to have a voice representing Ames and the Iowa State University community in the Iowa House District 45 this Tuesday. I strongly urge my fellow students, staff, faculty and administrators to consider the Republican candidate, Sondra Childs-Smith.

Ms. Childs-Smith is a graduate of Iowa State University from the class of 1980. She served on the women’s track team. As an alumna of this great university, she cares about issues related to students. She is in support of lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18. If one is old enough to fight and die for his/her own country, then that person should be legally allowed to enjoy a beer before they are sent off to war.

In regard to student debt and rising tuition, she will fight for ISU’s fair funding from the State Legislature and the Board of Regents. As well, she will fight to allow students to only take courses that are necessary for one’s major, thereby decreasing the amount of time and money it takes to complete a degree at Iowa State University.

She is a big proponent of students’ Constitutional rights.

Although many college admin-

istrators think they are the exception to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, Ms. ChildsSmith knows better. A state university must obey the law and protect its students’ First, Second, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights with no exceptions! She will fight to end viewpoint discrimination in our regent universities. Please join me Tuesday in voting for Ms. Sondra Childs-Smith for Iowa House District 45!

Once every four years, the American people get the chance to elect a president to serve in the most powerful office in the world. For decades, the U.S. president has been a symbol of freedom and has served as the leader of the free world.

It is safe to say that the power of the president is greater than the power of any other person in the world today.

Their influence goes much further than the borders of this country. The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) said it best, “Who is chosen as the next president of the United States isn’t just a matter of national importance but will make a big difference to the rest of the world.”

For the last few months, the entire world has been watching the U.S. presidential race and the campaigns. The presidential elections in the United States may have been the center of the discussion in the U.N. headquarters, just as much as it is in a small cafe in a Colombian village.

Millions of people around the world are watching and following the news today. Most of them do so with hope that the American people will elect a president who will bring peace and fight for the well-being of this nation and global humanity. Judy Woodruff, a news anchor, pointed out in an interview with PBS that “many eyes overseas are keeping close tabs on the race for the White House.”

The world is not just paying attention to the elections. It also tells us to appreciate the democracy we have in this country. Some of us take this privilege for granted.

In Syria, for example, people are dying every day just because they demanded the rule of law and democracy. Venezuela and many other countries are perfect examples of how a democracy can save the people.

Going out to vote is a right, and it also is a sign of appreciation. Many people around the world lack such chance to elect their leaders.

One of our Editorial Board members, Mohamed Abufalgha, said “Coming from Libya, I have never had a chance to participate in elections at high level as presidency, nor did my father, nor did my grandfather. Libya, as so many other countries around the world, has never been democracy, and the people there strive every day for that. It is so sad to see people not appreciating the democracy in which they live and giving it up by not casting their votes in elections.”

Furthermore, this year’s election is historical by any measure. With Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump as the major-party candidates, the next president will be, at the very least, unique. We are only hours away from having either our first female president or Trump.

Throughout the history of the United States, only few candidates have been this unique and different as they are today. Do not miss the chance to play a role in writing a chapter of this nation’s history.

Billions of people, both in the United States and abroad, are watching and waiting for the results, but they can’t vote. Those of you who can, should.

Your vote will not only affect you and your family but also the entire world.

Not everyone can vote, it’s a privilege.

Take advantage of it.

Ryan Young/Iowa State Daily Freshman running back Kene Nwangwu returns a kick on September 10, 2016 at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. Nwangwu is joined by Mike Warren and David Montgomery as one of three running backs listed as a starter on Iowa State’s depth chart this week.

Cyclones uncertain of starting backfield

By Brain.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State fans had an opportunity to see new starters in two major offensive positions when the Cyclones took on No. 9 Oklahoma last Thursday, when Jacob Park started at quarterback and David Montgomery started at running back.

These new faces and the opportunity to see them play has made Iowa State coach Matt Campbell think more about who will start for the last three games this season.

Campbell has to choose between Joel Lanning and Park for quarterback and Mike Warren, Kene Nwangwu and Montgomery for the running back position before the Cyclones take on Kansas this Saturday.

“I look at this situation as a positive because it shows our depth at each of these positions,” Campbell said. “We’ll determine a starter through their health status

and how they do in practice during the week.”

For the first time this season, Warren is not listed as the starter on the team’s depth chart. Warren, Montgomery and Nwangwu are all listed as possible starters.

Campbell expects all three running backs to be healthy for the game against Kansas this upcoming weekend. He also expects to see all three of them on the field because they all have skills that benefit the team in different ways.

“Mike [Warren] has the skills to be a starting running back,” Lanning said. “With that said, it’s also nice having more depth at the running back position like David [Montgomery], who’s a younger Mike Warren, and Kene [Nwangwu], who is the fastest player on this team.”

Campbell said Montgomery is the overall package who has the hands to catch the ball and knows how to find openings.

Lanning and Lazard both agreed that Nwangwu is one of

the fastest players they’ve seen in a long time.

“If [Kene Nwangwu] gets to the outside and finds an opening, the only thing you’ll see is the back of his jersey,” Lazard said.

Campbell said Nwangwu needs to work on finding those openings and he’ll be a dominant running back for Iowa State and its future.

He also wanted to put Mitchell Harger into the discussion with the running backs because he executed a big block during the Oklahoma game.

Campbell is also looking at the future of the quarterback position for the Cyclones, with Lanning and Park returning next season.

Park got the starting nod against Oklahoma and was the primary quarterback, while Lanning came in to run the ball a few times.

“The starting quarterback will mostly be determined by the team we play and the game plan we make up,” Campbell said. “Both of them have skills that we want to utilize in football games each

week.”

Lanning has the experience as a starting quarterback after taking over the spot in the last part of the previous season. He also has a higher ability to run and gain some yards with his legs.

Park hadn’t been a starter since high school until he started the Oklahoma game. Campbell said he has the accuracy and the ability to use his arm to put points on the board for Iowa State.

Campbell will continue using each of the quarterbacks in each of the last three games this season, but he hasn’t spoken much about the future for next season. Both Park and Lanning have said they don’t care about snaps or who’s starting as long as the team is winning.

“My focus is on this week against Kansas and the next two games after that,” Lanning said.

“Next season is too far away to think about, because I want to end this season on a positive note with a few wins.”

UP NEXT Iowa State (1-8, 0-6 Big 12) at Kansas (1-8, 0-6 Big 12) When: Saturday at 11 a.m.

Iowa State runners on brink of 8th straight nationals Kyle Heim/Iowa State Daily

By Kyle.Heim @iowastatedaily.com

Redshirt junior Bethanie Brown competes in the 2014 NCAA Cross-Country Championship on Nov. 22, 2014, in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Understanding the NCAA cross-country qualifying system is as simple as counting to two and as difficult as figuring out which friends not to invite to a birthday party based on a limited number of invitations.

In order to earn an automatic bid to nationals, teams must finish inside the top two at one of the nine regional cross-country meets that will take place Friday.

If a team does not earn one of the 18 automatic bids, it can still earn one of the 13 at-large bids.

But instead of deciding who to invite based on who will bring the most presents, the selection committee chooses teams based on their performances throughout the season against the 18 automatic bids.

The selection committee begins the at-large process by analyzing the total wins of the third- and fourth-place finishers in each region. When a team is selected from a region as an at-large team, the committee moves the next team in that region into consideration.

So a team that finished fourth in its region meet can still earn an at-large bid if it has a high number of head-to-head wins against the 18 automatic bids in meets throughout the season.

The twist is that the team that finished third in that region would automatically get invited as well through what the NCAA calls the

“push process.”

At all times throughout the selection process, the committee reviews no fewer than two teams from each region — with a total of 18 teams being reviewed for an at-large bid until 13 are selected — in order to identify any “push” situations.

Once teams get selected, other teams that haven’t been selected can add those teams to their win totals if they finished higher than them in a meet since the Sept.

9-11 weekend.

“I’ve been one of those people who has advocated for some change, particularly qualifying for the regional meet,” said Iowa State women’s cross-country coach Grove-McDonough. “I just think it would make sense, it’s the NCAA first round, I think you should have to qualify. And I think it’s a nice stepping stone for teams that are a ways off from qualifying for the NCAAs. “But at least then they get to say, ‘Hey, maybe we didn’t make it, maybe we’re not good enough to make it but now we are,’ and that’s a step, rather than we’re there and we all show up.”

The current system allows teams to schedule meets that include more top-ranked competitors in an effort to catch some of those top teams on off days or early in the season when they may choose not to race some of their best runners.

“People get used to the system,

the way it is and learn how to manage it effectively, learn how to take advantage of its maybe perceived weaknesses or loopholes or just play the system,” GroveMcDonough said. “Go to bunch of big meets, chase some points and try to get into the NCAA meet [through] the backdoor.”

Despite the team still needing to qualify, the No. 12-ranked Iowa State women’s cross-country team remains focused on competing in its eighth straight national championship meet.

“Regionals is obviously very important, but we actually had a pretty tough workout on Friday, so coach is telling us we might not feel super fresh for Friday’s race,” said sophomore Anne Frisbie, who is coming off a fourth-place finish at the Big 12 Championship. “But she said the bigger picture is nationals. That’s the race she cares the most about.”

Grove-McDonough said she is considering sitting one of her top five runners for Friday’s Midwest Regional in Iowa City, but no decision has been finalized.

The goal for the team is to finish inside the top two and earn an automatic bid, but GroveMcDonough is confident that even if the team doesn’t, it will still have enough wins to earn an at-large bid.

“If we sit one of those girls, with the full focus being on the NCAA meet, I think we’re in good shape,” Grove-McDonough said.

Iowa State coach Matt Campbell defended Alex Golesh on Monday amid Golesh’s name being mentioned in reports of a lawsuit by the Chicago Sun-Times.

Campbell says Iowa State vetted Golesh before hiring

By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State coach Matt Campbell defended Iowa State tight ends coach Alex Golesh Monday in light of a player mistreatment lawsuit at the University of Illinois that named Golesh as one of the coaches that committed wrongdoing.

As the tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Illinois, Golesh, among other coaches, is accused of forcing doctors to clear former Illini player Anthony Durkin to play while dealing with a shoulder surgery, which caused further damage, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Durkin also claims Golesh told him to sign a release from his scholarship, which absolved the university of any charges with a shoulder surgery and Durkin’s scholarship, the Sun-Times said.

Campbell said Iowa State looked into the matter before

hiring Golesh in late 2015.

“Any of that information is not new information to my knowledge,” Campbell said.

“All I mean by that is when we hired coach Golesh, all of those situations had been vetted the University of Illinois — the entire staff, all the team doctors, everybody had been vetted in a thorough investigation.

“We had detailed everything before we hired coach Golesh to make sure we were doing the right thing there. Our information back from the University of Illinois is they never would’ve kept him on staff and he would not have been retain had he been involved with any investigation or any issues there.”

Golesh coached with Campbell at Toledo from 2009-11 before leaving for Illinois in 2012 to become the tight ends and special teams coach and recruiting coordinator. Golesh remained at Illinois until he was hired

by Iowa State on Dec. 1, 2015, shortly after Campbell was hired.

The five senses of fall: Sight

Emily Blobaum/Iowa State Daily

As a freshman, this is my first fall on campus. When autumn came around and the leaves started changing, I was in awe of the beauty around me.

Walking around campus for the past month, I have watched leaves turn from red to orange to yellow.

The ground is filled with color, and the campus is gleaming with happy faces.

The falling leaves whistle in the wind and circle the air, descending to sweep the ground.

Since the beginning of autumn, I’ve

seen the lines at Starbucks, Caribou and the Memorial Union grow for everyone’s favorite seasonal drinks. Students leave holding warm cups, huddling over the hot liquid inside.

As the temperatures slowly lower, students bundle up in big scarves and warm boots for the colder season ahead.

Noses and fingertips are turn pink as the cold air hits skin.

I loved spotting the pumpkins and holiday spirit around campus on the ground, around buildings, classrooms, dorms and dining centers.

Enjoy the sight of fall and check out this gallery of amazing pictures of our campus.

Student fitness class instructors attend an Insanity training class to prepare for the class being added to Iowa State’s fitness class list in the spring.

New HIIT fitness class to start spring semester

By Rebecca.Haars @iowastatedaily.com Looking for a new way to spice up your exercise routine? The Iowa State University Recreation Services will add Insanity to its fitness class list this spring. “[Insanity] is cardio conditioning and total body strength workout,” said Ashley Artist, fitness class coordinator. “It’s fun and exciting. You can do all different fitness levels. The instructors are trained on how to progress and regress all of the exercises so it can meet all fitness levels.”

The High Intensity Interval Training (HIT) style class is a big fitness trend right now, Artist said. Doing a HIT workout for only 30 minutes will give someone the same benefits as a moderate-intensity workout for an hour.

“Insanity classes seem pretty intense, but they would be something cool to try,” said Emma Bottolfson, sophomore in mathematics. “I love high energy workouts, so I’m glad there’s another option being offered.”

The workouts are high-intensity because of the structure of the class.

“The workouts are all made the same way. You start with a warm-up, then there are four blocks. You do [plyometrics] and speed, strength and stability, agility and coordination and the last one is abs and core,” Artist said.

These workouts can last 55, 45 or 30 minutes, said Paige Wardell, senior in kinesiology. Wardell is one of the five instructors who took the training class to become a certified Insanity instructor.

“With my schedule it’s hard to find time to go to the gym and get a quality workout in,” said Kaitlin Einertson, sophomore in

genetics. “The 30-minute Insanity class would definitely be something I would go to.”

Insanity requires no equipment, making it easier for Artist to find areas to place this class. She plans to offer it in the Functional Training Room, State Gym and Lied. Artist hopes to be able to have the rooms hold 20 to 30 people for each class.

“It’s good [to add Insanity] because it gets those students who are in a rut of fitness classes out of them. Now they have Insanity, which is completely different,” Wardell said.

For students who haven’t previously taken a class, this is the right time to give it a chance.

“Personally I’ve never been to one of those [Insanity classes] before but it sounds like a fun way to challenge and push your body in ways that is probably hasn’t been before,” said Tyler Sanborn, sophomore in pre-business.

Artist is planning to have a launch party for the class during the first week of the spring semester. They will hold a large Insanity class in one of the gyms and open it up to anybody.

“I think it’s good that there is a new class being added. It gives a new variety to the classes offered,” said Marissa Hasselbusch, junior in apparel, merchandising and design. “It also offers more of a challenge for people wanting it.”

For those questioning whether to try Insanity or not, Wardell said, “When in doubt, just try it.”

“I kind of like the idea of the class,” said Michael Petron, sophomore in mechanical engineering. “They are trying to improve student health, and that really appeals to me.”

It’s Election Day, and what better way could you prepare to fill in your ballot than by getting in a workout - maybe while waiting in line.

STRETCH

Plant your feet shoulder-width apart and point your hands to the sky, interlacing your fingers. Pull your arms to one side over your head, pushing your hips in the opposite direction to stretch out your core. Repeat this by moving your arms to the other side, keeping them high in the air, and pushing your hips in the opposite direction. Most prefer the right side over the left side, or vice versa.

If you do not necessarily like either side, just move your arms back in forth, hinging at the hips to move the torso forwards and backward.

WARM UP

Now it is time to really warm up by running in place for one minute as if you are running to fill out your ballot. Keep your chest up and knees high while breathing steadily, and get ready to vote.

SHOULDER TOUCHES

Then we will do some shoulder touches, because sometimes deleting your emails isn’t enough; you just need to rip them into shreds. To do this efficiently, place your arms out in front of you so they are parallel to the floor. Touch the right hand to the right shoulder and alternate with the left side. Do this for 20 reps or until you decide that is not worth your time anymore.

OPPOSITE ARM-LEG EXTENSION

We will now perform an opposite armleg extension. Get into position by getting on your hands and knees, making sure to keep your core tight. Stretch out your right arm as if it was an elephant trunk and extend your left leg. Next, bring those extend limbs in towards to core to a crunch. Do 10 reps of this, then repeat with the left arm and right leg.

SQUAT HOLD

Now it is time to do a squat hold. Start with you feet shoulder-width apart. Bend down in to a seated position, keeping your hips stacked over your knees, and

make sure your knees do not pass over your ankles. Hold the seated position for three seconds and really think about who you want sitting in the White House.

Return to the standing position. Repeat for 20 reps.

RAISE THE ROOF

For another arm workout, place your arms on either side of your head, bending the elbows at a 90-degree angle. Do a “raise the roof” motion, for 20 reps, with your arms because national debt isn’t the only thing that’s rising.

DONKEY KICKS

Moving back to the core, we will do some donkey kicks. Start by getting on your hands and knees, making sure your hands are shoulder-width apart and your knees are directly under your hips. While keeping your core tight and knee bent, lift your right leg up behind you until it is in line with your body and your foot is parallel to the ceiling. Lower your leg back down to the starting position and repeat with the other leg. Do 20 reps.

FORWARD LUNGES

For the last leg workout, we will perform 20 forward lunges, not backward, to move America ahead. Begin by keeping the upper body straight, with your shoulders back, keeping your core engaged. Step forward with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are at a 90-degree angle.

Come back up to the standing position, and lunge forward with the other leg.

WALL SIT

Finally,we will do a 30-second wall sit, because who doesn’t love a good wall?

Place your back against a wall while holding your feet about two feet about from the wall, about shoulder length apart.

Bend your knees and slide your back down the wall until your knees have formed a 90-degree angle.

You must engage all parts of your body in this workout or nothing good with come out of it. Exercise your body and your right to vote.

As always, make sure to stretch after doing this workout, because the ensuing pain could be as bad as politics: you find trouble, potentially misdiagnose the aforementioned problem and misapply the wrong remedies. So let’s make smart choices and make our bodies great again.

not very well received by some people,” said Kelly Winfrey, assistant professor in the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication and researcher of political communications and gender.

“While first ladies can be active, they tend to be active in some non-controversial issue like obesity or reading.”

A second chance Today, the tides have turned for Clinton. Despite the discovery of her misuse of an email server and at times an unbelievably close race against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Clinton won the Democratic presidential nomination.

“In 2008, she didn’t really talk about her gender much,” Winfrey said. “I think that she’s done a little better this time talking about her gender in ways that it’s relevant to the issues.”

The other difference in the 2016 primary, according to Winfrey, was that the Sanders campaign was unable to mobilize minority voters like the Obama campaign did. Clinton has had a stronger record with minority voters than Sanders. Winfrey said this is what made for the difference in the primary this time for Clinton.

The other variable Winfrey believes is part of Clinton’s success is her Republican opponent, businessman Donald Trump.

“As qualified as Hillary Clinton is I don’t know if it would be this close if the candidate was someone other than Donald Trump,” Winfrey said.

Winfrey said Clinton is arguably one of the most qualified people to ever run for president, but her gender is a factor that could affect her success.

“It’s hard to separate Hillary Clinton from being a woman because we’ve never had a woman in this position before,” Winfrey said.

On the issues Throughout her 2016 campaign, Clinton has continued to tout issues she has been passionate about since the beginning of her political career, including affordable education at all ages, guaranteed paid family and medical leave, expanding health care and implementing an economy that works better for the middle class.

“She says the words, and the words are important, but she also has the plans,” said Taylor Blair, freshman in pre-industrial design. “I appreciate that in a politician.”

In numerous policy plans, she has specifically targeted college students, planning to limit certain tax expenditures for high-income taxpayers in order to fund debt-free college.

Clinton has also created policies to end campus sexual assault and make mental health services more accessible on college campuses.

Clinton has also created plans for the federal government to invest in rebuilding infrastructure, expanding the Affordable Care Act while decreasing copays and deductibles and investing in clean energy.

cal views in 1987, Trump has politically identified as a Republican, a Democrat and an independent. As of today, he labels himself as a Republican.

The presidential race With the campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” Trump began his run for the White House in a fashion that only he could run in.

Announcing his run on June 16, 2015, Trump became the Republican Party’s official nominee a year later on July 19, 2016. Trump announced on July 16 that Indiana Gov. Mike Pence would be his running mate.

Trump made immediate waves in his campaign announcement speech, saying that “[Mexico is] sending people that have lots of problems … they’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

This statement, and his insistence in the necessity of building a wall on the border of the United States and Mexico, upset and offended many individuals and caused Trump to lose many corporate sponsorships. But many are in support of a wall between the United States and Mexico, with those who attend his rallies often chanting, “Build a wall, build a wall.”

Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad endorsed Trump this past May. Both of Iowa’s senators — Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley — endorsed Trump, as well, along with Iowa’s Fourth District House Rep. Steve King.

On the policies When it comes to education, on his website, Trump says he plans to “add an additional federal investment of $20 billion toward school choice.” This would “give states the option to allow these funds to follow the student to the public or private school they attend.”

College education will be reformed with the help of congress to make “a good faith effort to reduce the cost of college and student debt.”

Trump also said college will be “easier to access, pay for and finish.”

On health care, Trump plans to repeal and replace Obamacare, or the Affordable Health Care Act, with the health savings account.

The health savings account would “allow people to purchase insurance across state lines” and “create a patientcentered health care system that promotes choice, quality and affordability.”

On the issue of abortion and women’s right to choose, Trump said that “I am opposed to abortion except for rape, incest and life of the mother. I oppose the use of government funds to pay for abortions.”

Trump said same-sex marriage should be decided on by the states, not by the government.

Immigration has been a controversial topic during Trump’s campaign. Trump aims to begin building “a … physical wall on the southern border, on day one.” He insists that Mexico will pay for the wall.

son for president. Johnson, who has been the governor of New Mexico for two terms, won over voters in his home state as a Republican in 1995 before leaving office in 2003.

Before his run for governor, Johnson had no prior political experience.

After first running for president in 2012 as a member of the Republican party, he found himself being pushed off to the side in place for candidates with more radical views.

With the campaign slogan, “We need to make America sane again,” Johnson and his running mate, Gov. Bill Weld, have actively shown their distaste with Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Both men believe that this election is “consumed by divisive partisan rhetoric” and avidly say that they offer a “breath of fresh air” to the election.

On the issues, Johnson can be found on both ends of the political spectrum.

On abortion, Johnson said that “individuals should be allowed to make their own choices in their personal lives,” saying abortion is a “deeply personal choice.” On education, he said “nothing is more important … than educating our next generations.”

Johnson, and the Libertarian party as a whole, believe in localizing education.

Johnson’s goals regarding education include eliminating the federal Department of Education and, along with that elimination, getting rid of Common Core.

When it comes to environmental issues, Johnson said the environment is a “precious gift” and “must be protected.”

He does, however, disagree with the debates going on in Washington about the environment.

He said the climate is “probably” changing and that man is “probably” contributing to that change.

He believe politicians need to shift their focus from essentially arguing over whether or not climate change is real, and instead find ways to “protect our resources for future generations.”

Many young voters, particularly ones from Republican backgrounds, are throwing their support behind Johnson this election.

While their reasons may be different, there is one particular issue that youth and Johnson agree on like marijuana.

While Johnson can be found to be knowledgeable on certain topics, such as criminal justice reform, he struggles with the concept of foreign policy.

In the beginning of September, during an interview with MSNBC, Johnson was asked a question that dealt with Aleppo, a city that is currently at the center of the Syrian refugee crisis. Johnson responded, asking, “What is Aleppo?”

When it comes to Johnson’s specific plans for foreign policy, his campaign website says he will “move quickly and decisively to cut off the funding on which violent extremist armies depend.”

But in an attempt to gain more votes, Stein continues to target her campaign toward younger voters.

Liam McDermott, freshman in physics, certainly feels that she best represents from what he and his age group would benefit.

“She’s the only candidate that would be able to properly address the issues that I care about most: climate change, gay rights and education,” McDermott said.

“She would bring them to Congress and actually make a difference for me and the people that I care about.”

The issues listed by McDermott have been a large part of Stein’s campaign thus far. In her Power to the People Plan, Stein highlighted that she wants to create deep system change and put people, the planet and peace over profit.

Stein’s environmental goals remain to be a key point in the Green Party. One example of her goals includes creating millions of jobs by converting energy to 100 percent clean and renewable by 2030. She also wants to lead a global treaty to end climate change.

Socially, Stein sums up her beliefs as protecting freedom and equality.

She wants to protect and expand the rights of minorities, as well as make citizenship more welcoming for immigrants. She also plans to address substance abuse as an issue of public health, rather than of criminality.

Another goal that Stein represents would be to establish jobs, health care and education as a right. Her plan is to create living wage jobs for all Americans in need of work, establish an improved “Medicare For All” program and guarantee tuition-free education from before Kindergarten all the way until post-college.

She also plans to abolish student debt to release millions of Americans from college debt as well as to establish a $15/hour federal minimum wage.

Stein has ultimately called for systematic police reform. Her three main points were that cops need to learn de-escalation skills, be carefully evaluated and that they should not be given military-grade weapons.

“The average African-American has a lifespan seven years shorter than the average white American. This is shameful,” Stein said.

But her left-leaning political stance is not for everybody. Peircen Lorenz, senior in technical communication and the communication director for ISU Students for Trump, doesn’t find Stein’s belief appealing.

He began with a sarcastic, “Who is Jill Stein?” before continuing.

“Jill Stein is irrelevant in the race for the White House,” Lorenz said.

“However, I admire her for combating Hillary Clinton.”
