Thielen Student Health Center accidentally leaks patient names, appointment dates

BY KAITLYN.HOOD @iowastatedaily.com Thielen Student Health Center (TSHC) experienced a data leak where inadvertently disclosed student information could be seen.

Erin Baldwin, director of Thielen Student Health Center, said on Nov. 5 the TSHC experienced a breach in their system when a coding error occurred as they put student information into a system to be sent out as patient satisfaction survey.

Over the past three years, more than 100,000 patient satisfaction surveys have been sent out, and this is the first major error that has occurred.

“Six-hundred out of 100,000 is a small number, but we would rather it be zero,” Baldwin said The error enabled some 600 patients to see “the name of another patient, the date of their appointment, and the provider they would have seen,” Baldwin said. All of the information was kept internal, no sources outside of the patients or the university could see any patient information.

The breach was seen within an hour and Baldwin said TSHC “shut down the patient satisfaction survey and [they] were able to recall a large number of the satisfaction surveys so that information was not shared.” She also emphasized that no social security numbers, student ID numbers, diagnoses, medications or clinical information was shared.

As a part of their commitment to their patient privacy policy, the health center sent out individual notices to each of the students explaining the error and what happened.

“We never want this kind of error to occur,” Baldwin said.

To prevent a situation like this from happening again, TSHC is going to change the survey process so there will be a different sorting process for patient data.

“When it is put into the survey software... [they] will take off personally identifiable information,” Baldwin said.

CYCLONES PREPPING FOR HEATED SHOWDOWN IN IOWA CITY

BY NOAH.ROHLFING @iowastatedaily.com Indelible moments are everywhere in the Iowa-Iowa State rivalry, particularly on the Iowa State side of things since Fred Hoiberg arrived in 2010.

From Georges Niang blowing a kiss to the home Iowa crowd in the 2014 contest — drawing the ire of the Carver-Hawkeye fans and cementing his place in Iowa State history — to the 20-point comeback for the Cyclones in 2015 and a loss at Iowa in 2016.

This rivalry has had its share of back-and-forth during games, on Twitter and otherwise.

Senior point guard Nick Weiler-Babb wasn’t about to tamp down the discourse, either.

“I don’t like Iowa,” Weiler-Babb said Tuesday. “I don’t think any of us like Iowa.”

With Iowa State’s roster being vastly different than it was in 2017-18, there will be a lot of new faces making

Graduate students struggle to find accessible child care

BY MATTHEW.TIBESAR @iowastatedaily.com Many graduate students at Iowa State face challenges when it comes to getting child care on campus, chief among them include accessibility and affordability.

The president of the Graduate and Professional Student Senate, Norin Yasin Chaudhry, is working closely with university administrators to try and find a long-term solution.

One of those administrators is Julie Graden, the program manager for the Iowa State Child Care and Family Resource Services.

“What we hear and heard from the ISU campus climate study was that people have trouble with accessibility and affordability,” Graden said.

She also said that it was not a new problem, rather a multigenerational one. She said both students and faculty have trouble finding child care, especially for infants and toddlers.

Child care is not a problem unique to Iowa State’s campus either, rather it is an issue facing the Ames community as a whole.

“Th e city of Ames has grown so fast, and you can fi nd plenty of places to eat and live, but not so much for child care,” Graden said.

Funding is limited for every department at Iowa State and child care is no exception. Graden said giving more money to child care services would certainly help resolve the issues of accessibility and affordability but does not think the solution is that simple.

“We all have to be good stewards of our money,” Graden said. “The money comes from the state, it comes from tuition, and so I think the balancing of all budgets is tricky.

COURTESY OF AIRMAN 1ST CLASS AUBREY ROBINSON One obstacle facing the university when it comes to solving the child care problem is finding accurate statistics.

So, the simple answer is to throw more money at it, but the realistic is, ‘Where would it come from?’ How much would we really need to make a difference?’”

Graduate students are often on a limited income, and their child care is partially subsidized by the university. Some

graduate students are also eligible for scholarship programs that reduce child care costs.

Graden works to try and leverage these benefits to those most in need. However, even with these subsidies, many graduate students still have a hard time finding child care.

The typical graduate seeking child care for children under three years old is put on a waitlist for 18 months to three years, and the age of the child is probably the biggest factor in determining whether or not they are admitted, Graden said.The time of year can also be a big factor.

One obstacle facing the university when it comes to solving the child care problem is trouble finding accurate statistics. Graden said there is no hard number of graduate students who need child care services.

One reason why child care statistics are difficult to determine is due to the sizeable international population of graduate students.

Graduate students are given surveys in order to try and find out how many have children and may need child care services, but these methods are not perfect. Th e numbers surrounding graduate student child care needs are estimates as a result.

One thing Chaudhry is working on compiling information and statistics on graduate student child care.

“Let’s get everybody who is contributing towards child care in a room, look over all the information we have, and compile it together,” Chaudhry said. “They (the university) are working on that right now.”

Chaudhry and the university hope to have the information they need by January. A group will then be assembled

by Iowa State President Wendy Wintersteen to meet and discuss more specific child care solutions.

‘The base of College Women in Business’ From clubs to cupcakes: Iowa State junior Brooklyn Treinen finds success in all her endeavors

BY KIRSTIE.MARTIN @iowastatedaily.com For Brooklyn Treinen, the Collegiate Women in Business changed her college career completely.

Not only did it allow for Treinen, a junior at Iowa State, to expand her network, but now she gets to lead the organization as president.

“It has opened me up to new opportunities within the College of Business and Iowa State,” Treinen said. “I have met so many people through it.”

Treinen previously held two positions before this year as the young women in business volunteer coordinator and the public relations chair.

T h e o f fi c i a l j o b d e s c r i p t i on o f t h e Collegiate Women in Business’ president is to be the liaison between the Ivy College of Business and the club.

“I also lead all the meetings and I’m in charge of recruitment, as well,” Treinen said.

“I have also been running some of social media. It’s a variety of everything, but I am mostly the base of CWIB.” Treinen was elected to be president this year by the other club members.

“I didn’t even consider running for president until someone brought it up to me,” Treinen said. “Previously, I was OK with just

getting a leadership position. This one kind of fell in my lap.”

Kayla Sanders, co-adviser of the Collegiate Women in Business, said Treinen caught her attention when she was the public relations chair on the executive team.

“She had a lot of really creative ideas no one had ever had before,” Sanders said. “She was a blast of creativity and excitement for the group.”

Treinen is originally from Marcus, a small town in northwest Iowa. She is currently pursuing a double major in supply chain management and marketing. However, Treinen didn’t even know she wanted to come to Iowa State until a campus visit.

“I was really confused off the bat, I had no idea what I wanted in a school,” Treinen said.

“When I came to Iowa State everyone was so open and welcoming, it was an environment I wanted to become a part of. I think I truly came here for the people and the atmosphere that they provide.”

Treinen is the oldest of three daughters and her father is an Iowa State alumni.

Treinen said her mother, a marketing major and University of Northern Iowa graduate, was where she got the idea of majoring in marketing.

“I ended up pairing marketing with supply

Ames Public Library hosts Black Lives Matter discussion

BY MIKE.BROWN @iowastatedaily.com The Ames Public Library is giving Ames residents and Iowa State students a place to learn more about the Black Lives Matter movement.

The exhibit, titled “Black Lives Matter: Fashion, Liberation and the Fight for Freedom,” will be on display in the library until Dec. 12 and is free to view.

Each section of the exhibit is based on a study done by one of five students working with their faculty adviser, Kelly Reddy-Best. Each study talks about a different aspect of Black Lives Matter.

A reception was hosted Tuesday followed by presentations from each of the students on their research topics.

One of the first posters presented in the exhibit showed a list of unarmed black people killed by police from 2012 to now. Those who were under the age of 25 had their names bolded.

Attendees were provided a brief history of Black Lives Matter, its origins and its ideology in a presentation from Daryle Sivels, senior in event management. In his presentation, Sivels showed the first ever post to use “#blacklivesmatter” in response to the killing of Trayvon Martin, as well as other early events which furthered the growth of the organization.

Crystal Davenport, sophomore in apparel, merchandising and design, spoke about her study in which she interviewed black women who wear

their natural hair. She said her participants reported feelings of self-love and acceptance when wearing their natural hair, as well as resistance to societal pressures to straighten or use other harmful products in their hair.

Ames resident Nikkia Koelling said she most related to the discussion of black women wearing their natural hair as she has chosen to since 2013.

“I don’t feel like I need to straighten my hair or tie it back,” Koelling said. “I know what it does, it makes me seem less approachable, and I try to wear it big and approach people and challenge the stereotype, redefine it.”

Brandon Spencer, a sophomore in apparel, merchandising and design, reported on his study in which he analyzed different cases where black men who were killed by police as well as the role the media played in reporting on these killings.

Spencer focused on three different cases, each with a different age range from child, to a teenager, to an adult, and said in all three cases these men were assumed to be immediately dangerous and threatening, but were not. Spencer said these instances reflect society’s perception of black men as a whole.

“I am both black and male, yet being so should not make me a threat,” Spencer said. “I am not a threat.”

Celebrities and their activism and showing of support to the black community and Black Lives Matter was also discussed. Dyese Matthews, a graduate student in apparel, events and hospitality management, focused on three different ways prominent individuals in the black community carry out their activism: clothing, historical references and body positioning.

DISCUSSION pg8

John Park is graduating from Iowa State this semester, but had a variety of adversities to overcome in order to find himself a job after graduation.

Park is an international student from South Korea and came to the United States about five years ago when he decided to come to Iowa State and major in computer science. When he came, he didn’t know much English, and it was hard for him to understand his classes to succeed.

“I had to go through IEOP, Intensive English and Orientation Program,” Park said. “It’s kind of an English second language program provided by Iowa State.”

Park wants to be a software engineer, but hasn’t quite found the job yet, although he has had five interviews and is waiting to hear back. He said he has been getting lots of help from the career center within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

“I get a lot of help for revising my resume and am able to ask the questions that I have that relate to the hiring process,” Park said. “They tell me what else I should do to prepare for when I apply for jobs.”

The biggest problem that Park said he runs into when he is interviewing for jobs is his technical skills. It’s common for computer science majors to have a coding interview, where they are asked to write code to solve problems.

Sometimes, it can be harder for international students to find jobs than it may be for others, and Park said he has ran into this problem as well.

“I want to get a job as an information security analyst, and a lot of companies [with those kind of jobs] has data that relates to the government, and that requires citizenship,” Park said. “With international students, there is a lot of regulations and restrictions, and we are expected to have a sponsorship at some point and not many companies want

CITY COUNCIL

Housing for low-income populations viewed as priority

BY TALON.DELANEY @iowastatedaily.com Ames is set to receive another round of federal funding for community housing developments, and residents came to the Ames City Council chambers Tuesday night to discuss how they believe that funding should be spent.

Nearly 30 residents participated in the meeting, which was made up of different group workshops overseen by a council member. The council then convened to compare what their groups discussed. Providing housing to homeless, mentally ill and low-income populations was a top concern.

BUSINESS

The grant money for these developments comes from two different programs: The Community Development Block Program (CDBG) and the Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME).

Ames began receiving CDBG funds in 2004, but this is the first year that the city is eligible for HOME spending.

Tuesday’s public forum was only the first in a continuing process to develop a five-year consolidation plan. Money from these funds can be used to create renter affordability programs, provide transportation assistance, buy land and convert it to home owning infrastructure and help low-to-middle income

chain because I love the sales aspect of marketing,” Treinen said.

This summer, Treinen will be a corporate negotiations intern at Principal Financial Group in Des Moines where she will help negotiate contracts for the company.

“For example, if a certain department is looking for a new system, we go out and search for several different types,” Treinen said. “We then will look at prices and see what is the best option for Principal.”

While Treinen is excited and a bit nervous for her internship this summer, she said it is another great opportunity to help her fi gure out what she wants to do after graduation.

“I have no idea what I want to do after I graduate, it changes all the time,” Treinen said. “I see myself going to Des Moines.

I want to be at a company where I see an opportunity to move up within the company.

I don’t want to have the same job for the rest of my life and have that be the best I can do.

I want to see the potential to keep growing.”

Besides being president of the Collegiate Women in Business, Treinen is also a business ambassador and peer mentor.

D u r i n g t h e s u m m e r, Tr e i n e n w a s a Cyclone Aide. Through this position, Treinen lived in Ames and assisted with orientation every day from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

“It was a really overwhelming summer, but I met some of the most amazing people,” Treinen said.

Treinen got the opportunity to help ease students into the transition of becoming a Cyclone.

“It’s really neat to meet all those people to see the diversity,” Treinen said. “Th at’s

people and families (LMI) make down payments on homes.

“I think it went really well,” said Vanessa Baker-Latimer, the city planning housing coordinator. “We really appreciate the turnout. This really was the goal of the public forum.”

Representatives from a variety of organizations made an appearance, including the Story County Community Housing Corporation (SCCHC), Youth Social Services, Story County Housing Trust Fund (SCHTF) and AMOS (A Mid-Iowa Organizing Strategy).

“It was really good to get here and see there was an opportunity to dialogue,” said Brenda Dryer, an Scott

still to this day my favorite thing about ISU, the people.”

Caroline Quinn, vice president of the Collegiate Women in Business, has known Treinen since they were Cyclone Aides together. Quinn said Treinen is one of her favorite people to work with.

“When we were Cyclone Aides we would go to Caribou Coffee to start the day,” Quinn said. “We would take turns getting each other coffee. While one got the coffee, the other would go to our shift.”

Although she stays busy with activities, Treinen said she still tries to make time for her favorite hobby, baking.

“I love to bake, but it’s a lot more expensive when you have to buy your own groceries,” Treinen said. “I started in high school and I actually had people end up ordering things from me. Cupcakes are my favorite thing to bake, but oddly enough I don’t actually like them.”

S anders said she is still amaz ed at Treinen’s ability to have positive interaction and communication with others throughout all situations.

“She shines when it comes to getting people’s buy-in and excitement,” Sanders said.

“CWIB is a very active organization, the members have to believe they are getting something out of it, and that’s where she shines. She’s also just an overall fun person to be around.”

Treinen said the most important part of college is about the connections you make along the way.

“College is about meeting the people and making connections, and building yourself for the life you have always wanted to live.

That really comes back to all the connections you make here at Iowa State,” Treinen said.

PUBLIC NOTICE OF STORM WATER DISCHARGE Iowa State University plans to submit a Notice of Intent to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to be covered under the NPDES General Permit No. 2 “Storm Water Discharge Associated with Industrial Activity for Construction Activities”.

The storm water discharge will be from the ISU –North Coal Pile Restoration Project. Near the Iowa State University Central Campus, Ames, Iowa, 50011, located in NE ¼ Section 4, T83N, R24W, Story County.

Storm water will be discharged from two point sources and will discharge to the following streams: Squaw Creek to the Skunk River.

to go through that process.”

There are certain rules that international students must follow. When they get a job, it must relate to the major that they studied in college and they have to have an approved work permit for a period of time, and after that they need a working visa or permanent residency within the country.

Park said that during job interviews, he hasn’t gotten the feeling of any bias during the hiring process of being an international student.

“There’s a lot of foreigners and international students in computer science, so I think

it’s our job to make sure the public can be active about how this funding is being used.”

The workshops discussed the goals of different five-year consolidation plans since 2004 and voted on the ones that were most important to them.The groups overwhelmingly supported plans to improve the quantity and quality of affordable rental housing, as well as housing developments for homeless and special needs peoples.

“Our group talked a lot about increased housing for homeless people with mental health needs,” said Ward Four Rep. Chris Nelson. “We also discussed programs to help LMI peoples avoid eviction.”

it’s less common to have bias when they are looking for people to work for the IT industry because of the number of international people,” Park said.

Park has had one internship while at Iowa State, and it began in May and just ended Wednesday. He worked for MidAmerican Energy company on their IT infrastructure team.

“I dealt with the Window computers and deployed software updates or new softwares so there was not a security vulnerability,” Park said.

Park is currently here on a student visa, but is planning to apply for American citizenship at some point in the future.

(since 1982)

OF 107 MASS SHOOTINGS

MORE THAN

56 PERCENT HAVE BEEN PERPETRATED

BY WHITE MEN America is failing Muslims by allowing stereotypes and hate to become so commonplace in our culture

BY PEYTON.SPANBAUER @iowastatedaily.com I am more afraid of being the victim of an act of terrorism committed by a white man than I am a Muslim and I have a valid reason for it.

It’s officially been a little over a year since Trump’s Muslim immigration ban was deemed constitutional by the Supreme Court and religious freedom in America was validated for everyone except those of the Islamic faith. The effects of this ban are still being felt in aftershocks across the globe as students cannot return to the United States for schooling, loved ones cannot visit their families and legal Muslims are trapped within our borders, afraid to leave and afraid to stay.

While it says something of our country as a whole that we would deny people access to our country on the basis of religion, it also speaks to the effect of our privilege as U.S. citizens that we don’t see them as fit to live amongst us.

Without recognition for the hardships faced in their countries of origin, nor appreciation for the incredible decision to leave their homelands behind, America is failing Muslims.

This gatekeeping of the Islamic community essentially scapegoats an entire demographic that shares peaceful beliefs at its core. The word “Islam” itself signifies peace and commitment to Allah. Similarly to Christianity, Islam does have its extremists who give the community a bad reputation.

However, while it’s easy to blame the Islamic religion and its followers for the terrorism that has become commonplace in our culture, it is important to highlight the number of racially driven acts of terrorism committed by white men

that are continually labeled as simply “acts of violence.”

Nothing new to our destigmatized minds, violence is prevalent everyday in the news as it seems a different public location has been shot up. These stories, seemingly different yet essentially the same, share a huge commonality is that they are most often committed by white men.

Think of the Sandy Hooks shooting; the Las Vegas shooting; Parkland, Florida, or the Sutherland Springs, Texas church shooting. Even more recently, think of the Thousand Oaks, California shooting; the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting; the Capital Gazette shooting and many more. All of these heinous acts were committed by white men. White men are killing us with guns and it is still terrorism. In fact, we’re more likely to be murdered by far-right extremists today than we are Islamists.

With almost half the world’s Muslim population living in the United States, this scapegoating is incredibly dangerous.

New data shows that for the third consecutive year that the percentage of hate crimes in our country has risen. While this is obviously a negative growth, it is worthy to note that hate crimes are still nowhere near as prevalent as they were following 9/11 and all the anti-Muslim propaganda bolsted during that time.

As Trump continues to incite violence and spew garbage facts about the dangers he perceives Muslims pose against our country, take notice that he is the one putting us in danger with such messages that fuel terror and hate.

Remember that all beliefs can become radicalized, not just those of religions and demographics deemed undesirable in our country.

Data for the illustrated headline was compiled from Mother Jones, a non-profit journalism website.

Digital tools necessary for student success

BY MICHAEL NORDEEN nordeen@iastate.edu To have a successful educational career, the need for digital tools is a necessity. There is tons of research that shows that schools are lacking the tools necessary for students to get the high-quality education they need to succeed in their future.

Is it the classes we have the students taking?

Could it be the start/stop times of the school day?

Are classes to long or to short? There are so many questions when it comes to the education of the future leaders of our country.

Looking at digital equity as an issue, you can see by the statistics provided by the Alliance of Excellent Education that high-poverty lack the digital tools. Three percent of teachers in these areas say they had the digital tools necessary to complete homework, compared to 52 percent in more affluent schools. That is a large gap that needs to be looked at.

Other schools like AltSchool provides schooling near New York and San Francisco. At these schools, children are recorded like data, using technology to find the best way to teach students at their own pace. By using digital tools instead of multiple teachers in classrooms, the classrooms use the teachers as mentors, leaders or guides. AltSchool uses content like Facebook or Netflix, to provide the student with the best style of learning, to help them progress and succeed. If a school wants to use AltSchool’s system in would cost $150-$500 annually per student, which is a cost most schools can not afford.

From these few statistics that I have provided, it should raise everyone’s awareness to the digital gap that there is in our schools. Many groups and individuals are trying to provide an answer to this question, and with the continued advancement in technology, it could be a debate that will last for a while. I propose looking at the classes we have children take. Yes, the general education classes are important, but once students get to middle school/high school, why not start sending children into a desired field. From art, technology, education, and many other options, start preparing students for their future careers.

EDITORIAL

Tackling the issue of child care must be prioritized The Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS) has made it a priority this semester to advocate for affordable child care, a necessity among many of Iowa State’s graduate students.

In previous meetings, GPSS president Norin Yasin Chaudhry has emphasized the necessity of finding solutions to this issue, regarding Iowa as a “child care drought area.”

Behind the scenes, however, Chaudhry is leading the discussions on child care for graduate students that is both affordable and accessible with campus administrators.

A barrier? The reality of child care at Iowa State and Ames for graduate students (and faculty members) lags statistics. This makes it difficult to find a solution when the complexity and reach of the problem is not yet known.

Currently, graduate students are given surveys in order to try and find out how

many children may need child care services.

However, these methods are not perfect and often result in general estimates rather than results.

It is commendable of GPSS to be undertaking the issue of child care services for graduate students this semester.

It is an issue that many, unless directly impacted by it, are likely unaware of. It is also an issue that is not being talked about enough, including by the Iowa State Daily.

Julie Graden, the program manager for the Iowa State Child Care and Family Resource Services, told the Iowa State Daily that child care for graduate students (and faculty members) is not a new problem but rather multi-generational.

Even though President Wendy Wintersteen will be taking action to hopefully assemble a group of people to meet and talk about solutions to child care, the general public is more than likely blind to

these issues. Child care, when unavailable, can impact that family greatly. The public has a right to know about the issues or solutions being discussed when it comes to the care of their children.

Along with that, without proper child care, many families will have to choose between education, their jobs and their children. Often times, this can pause undergraduates and graduates goals for graduation or put them in a tough spot financially.

With an undergraduate population of approximately 36,000, it should be pertinent for all students to see child care as an issue impacting this university as the issue has a wide reach. If graduate students and faculty members do not have accessible and affordable child care, it makes it more difficult for them to be at their best in the classroom and on campus — especially if worried about the safety of their family.

Rivalry game marks biggest challenge for young Cyclones

BY AARON.MARNER @iowastatedaily.com

KENNEDY DERAEDT/IOWA STATE DAILY Iowa State fell to Iowa by three points after Iowa’s Tania Davis made a 3-pointer with less than three seconds left in the game.

Despite comeback effort, ISU falls short

BY SPENCER.SUCKOW @iowastatedaily.com It’s been more than a decade since Bill Fennelly and Iowa State last won at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, and both will have to wait two more years for another attempt.

In a thrilling, back-and-forth affair, No. 16 Iowa defeated Iowa State by a score of 73-70. Though the matchup was headlined by two All-Americans, Bridget Carleton of Iowa State and Megan Gustafson of Iowa, it was actually the Hawkeyes’ Tania Davis who proved to be the difference with a game-winning 3-point shot with only 2.6 seconds remaining.

Carleton passed up the last shot in favor of Iowa City’s own Ashley Joens, who missed the game-tying 3-point attempt.

“Coach just drew up a play. I was going to get (the ball) in the high post and see who’s open,” Carleton said. “Two people came to me and I passed to Ash who was wide open in the corner. She’ll hit that shot. That’s a shot she can take and a shot she’ll hit.”

That miss was the punctuation on what was an all-around rough homecoming for

Joens. With several friends and family members in attendance, the freshman struggled all night by scoring only two points on 1-of-10 shooting in 31 minutes. Normally one of the team’s better 3-point shooters, Joens was also 0-for-6 from beyond the arc.

“Obviously it was a big moment for her, but she’ll learn from it,” Carleton said.

“She’ll get better. She loves basketball.

She’ll be in the gym tomorrow I’m sure, hitting that shot.”

To the Cyclones’ credit as a team, it took quite a bit of effort to even get into that final shot in the first place. Through the first quarter of the game, things appeared to be heading into blowout territory as Iowa State was down by as many as 13 points early on.

However, Alexa Middleton, fresh off her best performance of the season against Arkansas on Sunday, turned the tide with a buzzer-beating shot down 21-8 to end the quarter. From there, in a statistical oddity, the Cyclones woke up and responded with a 21-8 run of their own, ultimately ending the half down only four points. Middleton ultimately ended the night with 20 points, and though it didn’t pay off in the second half, she said that

being assertive with the ball was instrumental in her success on the night.

“I think the key was just to be aggressive, to look for my shot and at the same time look for others who were open,” Middleton said after the game. “Obviously in the second half, I think I took too many shots that weren’t that great.”

What ultimately sank the Cyclones, however, was the team’s struggles at the free throw line compared to the Hawkeyes.

Whereas Iowa was perfect on the night, Iowa State barely shot over 50 percent.

This fact wasn’t lost on Fennelly, who said the free throw disparity was the primary reason that Iowa extended its winning streak in the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk series to three games.

“If you go 9-for-17 from the free throw line and the other guy goes 15-for-15, you’re going to lose on the road,” Fennelly said.

However, Fennelly also expressed his pride in the team for how they battled back against a ranked opponent on the road.

“I couldn’t be more proud of this team,” Fennelly said. “I love the way they play, I love the way they compete. I couldn’t be more proud of the effort that we put in.”

Thursday night’s Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk game in Iowa City will be an entirely new challenge for the Cyclones.

Iowa State is yet to play a true road game, and the Hawkeyes are the first ranked opponent for coach Steve Prohm’s squad this year.

The Maui Invitational contained a loaded field this year, featuring three top-10 teams and multiple national powerhouses.

Finishing 2-1 in Maui like Iowa State did this year would seem to be an accomplishment, but the Cyclones avoided all three top-10 teams. Keep in mind, there was a strong contingent of Cyclone fans in Maui, making games an even split or even pro-Iowa State.

That makes the game with Iowa even more important. The Hawkeyes are 6-2 and are currently the highest-ranked team, by the Associated Press poll and KenPom, the Cyclones will face until their second Big 12 game when Kansas comes to Hilton Coliseum on Jan. 5. With such a young team — six of Iowa State’s top eight players this year had never appeared in a game for Iowa State before this season — the rivalry game is bigger than it normally would be.

“They [the freshmen] have been thrown into the fire, and I think baptism by fire can be one of the best things for freshmen,” said redshirt junior forward Michael Jacobson. “They had to be ready, it’s not like ‘hey, we can wait around for you.’”

Iowa State’s freshmen can’t have freshmen moments on Thursday. “[They] just need to keep a straight head,” said redshirt senior Nick Weiler-Babb, who has played twice against Iowa.

“The fans out there are crazy. Iowa City in general is just a crazy place.”

Weiler-Babb scored 15 points against Iowa last season and added 10 assists and six rebounds.

The last time Iowa State won its first true road game was the 2015-16 season, when the Cyclones won at Cincinnati, 81-79.

The Cyclones were 0-10 in true road games last year and haven’t won on another team’s home floor since Feb. 20, 2017 against Texas Tech. That’s 11 straight road losses.

Freshman Talen Horton-Tucker said he expects the Cyclones can “quiet them down,” in Iowa City. Over the last 10 games in Iowa City, the Cyclones have won three times.

Quieting them down isn’t an easy task, especially when Iowa comes into the game with a 6-2 record and a top 25 ranking.

My guess? I think Iowa State starts hot, just like they have every recent game.

But keeping up that energy in a hostile environment will be the challenge. When adversity hits at Hilton Coliseum, all it takes is a basket to get the crowd back into the game.

Thursday will be the first chance for Iowa State to prove the remains of last year’s 13-18 record are truly gone.

Delta Rae to wrap up M-Shop for semester

BY ANGELA.RIVAS @iowastatedaily.com Delta Rae will wrap up the Maintenance Shop’s semester Saturday with soulful folk-country.

The six-piece group was originally formed in 2009 by the Hölljes siblings, Ian, Eric and Brittany, with friend Liz Hopkins. They had their first gig at Duke University later that year, the alma matter of Eric and Ian Hölljes.

The group later added Mike McKee and Grant Emerson and have been playing together for almost 10 years without any changes to membership.

“It’s going to be a great last show,” said Angela Chamberlain, co-director of the Maintenance Shop. “[Delta Rae] usually sell out bigger arenas so it’s going to be awesome to have them in such a smaller place.”

The name Delta Rae comes from a Greek goddess created by the Hölljes’ mother in a mythical story. The story revolves around a young girl who calls on Delta Rae for help. Using this story and motivation, the primary writers, Ian and Eric, focus their lyric writing on stories of family and life.

Between the four vocalists, Ian, Eric, Liz and Brittany cover all four vocal parts; tenor, baritone, alto and soprano, creating a harmonic melody with a wide range.

Delta Rae is currently wrapping up their 16-week show in Nashville. The Delta Rae Revival has taken place every Wednesday since September in The Basement in Nashville.

Each week the group is joined on stage with two other artists and an opener. Past artists have

included Carolina Story and Cheap Trick.

“It’s something we’ve always dreamed of doing and finally we are giving it a try,” Hopkins said.

She hopes to do something similar in the future, but would want a bigger budget to work with.

Delta Rae stands out easily from other artists by creating a unique sound. They’ve been

labeled as everything from folk and country to Americana and gospel.

“At the end of the day, we just want to play the music that is in our hearts,” Hopkins said. “Label doesn’t matter.”

The group released their first album, “Carry the Fire,” in 2012, and their second, “After It All,” in 2015. They are now starting the pre-production

process for their third studio album. They have dropped singles including “Hands Dirty” and “Do You Ever Dream” this year, providing a little taste of what to expect from their next project.

“There will be storytelling with big theatrical southern gothic soundscapes that we love to create,” Hopkins said. “We have not lost sight of that, and we are making sure to reconnect with that for our fans who have been there since the jump.”

The group has been huge advocates for teacher appreciation as well. Each show, Delta Rae takes nominations for qualified teachers who have made an impact in someone’s life. Three members of Delta Rae were teachers before pursuing a career music.

“Teachers are a hardworking group of people who don’t get the gratitude and thanks that they deserve,” Hopkins said, a former math teacher. “[Delta Rae] wouldn’t be a band without those teachers who encouraged us to go into the arts.”

Two teachers in the Ames area have been selected and gifted tickets by Delta Rae. One of their songs, “A Long and Happy Life,” released in 2017 on their “A Long and Happy Life” EP was inspired by Ian’s former English professor. Delta Rae is still looking for teachers to be recommended. Nominations can be submitted on their website.

“I’ve never witnessed a bad concert in the M-Shop,” said Matthew Schroeder, co-director of the M-Shop. “I’m excited to see what this show will be like.”

The show begins at 8 p.m. Saturday, doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the Maintenance Shop box office or online.

their first full college road game debut Thursday.

One of those new faces is redshirt junior forward Michael Jacobson, a Waukee, Iowa, native who grew up in the middle of the in-state rivalry.

“I had a lot of friends and family that were Iowa State and a lot of friends who were Iowa,” Jacobson said. “Definitely saw both sides of it. My kindergarten teacher was at the game [Monday], and she said she’s a Cyclone fan now.”

Both the Cyclones and Hawkeyes have had strong starts to the season, with Iowa State at 7-1 and Iowa 6-2 and ranked 20th in the latest AP poll. The Hawkeyes have dropped their last two games, both against ranked teams: a 72-66 home loss to No. 18 Wisconsin and a 90-68 loss against No. 10 Michigan State, compounded by star freshman

DISCUSSION

Joe Wieskamp turning his ankle in the second half and not returning to the contest.

Prohm said the Hawkeyes play differently with Wieskamp.

“He can really stretch the defense,” Prohm said. “He’s a All-Freshman type Big Ten player.”

The Cyclones are coming off an 81-59 win over North Dakota State on Monday in which Cam Lard and Zoran Talley returned from suspensions that sidelined them for the entirety of November.

Prohm has indicated that he’ll bring them along slowly and won’t make drastic changes to the lineup Thursday.

He did say, though, that the Cyclones have to get points in the paint to win on Thursday. “ We’ve gotta do it with paint touches and dribble penetration,” Prohm said. “I think it starts with us, with good spacing.”

Matthews used examples including Colin Kaepernick kneeling in protest of police brutality, LeBron James wearing a shirt which read “I can’t breathe” in reference to the strangling of Eric Garner by a police officer in New York City and Beyoncé’s Super Bowl performance in which she made references to Malcolm X and the Black Panther Party, among others.

shown cracks in a defense that started the season off strong with wins over teams such as Oregon, Connecticut and Pitt.

In the loss to Michigan State, Iowa allowed 48 points in the paint to Nick Ward and company. Iowa State plays smaller than the Spartans, but there are areas where the Hawkeyes can be beat defensively.

As for Iowa State, Prohm said he would like to see the Cyclones tighten up on the defensive side of the ball at times, despite the Cyclones ranking 19th in the country in field-goal percentage defense.

Thursday’s game is not just another edition of a heated in-state rivalry between two teams on the rise: It’s a chance for the Cyclone freshmen and newcomers to pass their first true road test with the team in one of Iowa State’s biggest games of the season, and possibly etch their names in the storied rivalry’s history.

SARAH HENRY/ IOWA STATE DAILY Junior Michael Jacobson readies himself to take a shot from the free throw line during Iowa State’s season opening game vs. Alabama State on Nov. 6 at Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones won 79-53.

Tre Moore, an Iowa State alumnus who graduated with a degree in journalism in fall 2018, said he most admired the leadership shown by all the presenters, even outside of their research for their presentations. Moore referenced Spencer and Davenport’s leadership positions within Sir Magazine.

“Students of color have to balance a lot, on top of still fighting and still wanting to do the work that it takes to have this information out there,” Moore said.
