Man charged with murder of Mollie Tibbetts BY ISD STAFF One suspect has been charged in connection with the death of University of Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts, who was reported missing in Brooklyn, Iowa on July, 18, 2018. Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, CRISTHIAN who resides in Poweshiek County, BAHENA was charged with first degree RIVERA murder. Remains believed to be that of Tibbetts were discovered in a cornfield south of Brooklyn on Tuesday, Assistant Director of DCI Field Operations Mitchell Mortvedt said at a press conference following the discovery.

BY TALON.DELANEY @iowastatedaily.com The Memorial Union Food Court is practically unrecognizable after changes to its floor plan, menu items and food suppliers were made over the summer break. These changes are part of a larger planned overhaul of all Iowa State dining centers, and long overdue, said Mohamed Ali, director of campus dining services. “I wanted to change [the Memorial Union Food Court] as soon as I saw it at my interview,” Ali said, speaking of his job interview with Iowa State two and a half years ago. Ali said the loud soda machines and clunky layout of the MU dining center was embarrassing and the available food options didn’t offer a sufficient variety of cuisine. “We want to make students comfortable and provide a variety of food,” Ali said. “We want you to feel at home whether you’re from Iowa, another state or another nation, entirely.” For the MU specifically, this means a more open layout and menus with halal, vegan and vegetarian options. Halal is a term used to designate food that is allowed by the Quran. Ali also worked with dining center staff on reducing reliance on corporate food suppliers. For example, Iowa State previously purchased large quantities of frozen pizzas from Godfather’s Pizza to serve at the MU. Now the school makes its own dough at the university’s bakery and dining staff prepares their own sauce. “The Food Court was given a much needed face lift,” said Nolan Green, the chef de cuisine at the MU dining center. “It really opened up different areas of creative freedom when we stopped depending so much on these corporate suppliers.” Green has been working for Iowa State dining services for five

years and was excited when Ali shared his ideas about bringing changes to the dining centers. He also took on more responsibility when Ali began turning away from corporate chains for menu options. Similar to Godfather’s Pizza, the MU used to rely on food from Chester’s Chicken and smoothies from the company Freshens. With these suppliers out of the picture, the dining center staff has had to work to maintain a diverse menu on their own. “When you have these brands around, you are in a box,” Ali explained. “In that box, you cannot be creative.” Even with these brands gone, Green and Ali made sure to keep popular menu items. “We still have basically the same menu items even though Chester’s is gone,” Green said. “There’s still curly fries and chicken strips, it’s just we’re doing it on our own.” These menu items are served at the new Iowa State original restaurant, the Rowdy Rooster restaurant. Now, the smoothie shop in the MU is called Whirlybird’s Smoothies, and Green designed the menu himself. “Now for the first time we have dairy free smoothies here and at State Gym, too,” Green said. “Since we’re doing it all ourselves, we can really listen to student wants more.” Ali and Green did more than just move away from brand-dependency. Many of the MU restaurants have new names and different menus. Yum Burger, formerly Cyburger, no longer uses frozen beef. Burrito Works is now called Poco Picante, and features a breakfast menu. “We were looking to add to the menu and keep things fresh,” Green said. “Yum Burger and Poco Picante have vegan and

LGBTQIA+ Community Welcome event brings students, faculty and community members together to meet and greet

BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com Students and community members came together in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union to socialize and meet their community during the LGBTQIA+ Community Welcome event Tuesday. The LGBTQIA+ Community Welcome is an annual event hosted by The Center for LGBTQIA+ Student Success and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion to allow new and returning students and community members to meet and socialize. “I feel like this is truly the one night of the year at Iowa State that everyone shows up to,” said Clare Lemke, assistant director of The Center for LGBTQIA+ Student Success. “Everyone connected to student [organizations], everyone who is not connected to a student [organization], faculty and staff, community members, [alumni]. It’s kind of a chance to all come together and connect.” At the beginning of the night, attendees were greeted by volunteers. They could pick up a name tag and a pronoun button from the front table, or receive a hug from one of the volunteers wearing a “Free Mom Hug” button, before heading into the main area. One of the greeters, Alissa Stoehr a lecturer in the sociology department, said this event is a great place for students to find their community. Brad Freihoefer, director of The Center for LGBTQIA+ Student Success, also spoke about the importance of the event. “I think it is very important for students to see other LGBTQIA+ students on campus, otherwise it can feel very isolating if you may not see others or know that the community is quite large,” Freihoefer said. Students could participate in a wide range of activities including human bingo, dancing, board games and a gallery walk. During the gallery walk, students could write and answer a variety of questions posted on one of the walls in the room.

JACKIE NORMAN/ IOWA STATE DAILY Clara Huber and Aryana Miller play Apples to Apples with new friends throughout the night on Aug. 21 in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union during the LGBTQIA+ Welcome event.

Some of the questions included, “What do you need to feel supported?,” “What’s your favorite way to connect with people?,” “Where are the LGBTQIA+ inclusive places/spaces on campus or in Ames?” and “Who are your LGBTQIA+ sheroes, heroes, idols, and faves?” The posters were full of answers before the night was over. Along with activities, several students said socializing with their peers and community was their favorite part of the night. “I’d say socializing is my favorite thing, I like to meet new people, meet new friends,” said Cameron Albus, freshman in biology. Lemke said this event took a lot of planning that included an abundance of volunteer help, such as greeting, planning and setting up the event. “We always say our goal is for you to come to this event but you don’t leave without meeting someone new,” Lemke said.

Learn something new at the Iowa State Fair BY ZACHARY.MASS @iowastatedaily.com

COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA COMMONS The 2018 Iowa State Fair was held from Aug. 9 to Aug. 20. The state fair offers a chance to learn about the food Iowa farmers produce.

The Iowa State Fair is famous for fried food, entertainment, the butter cow and sightings of politicians gearing up for close election races. While the fair is outstanding in all of these aspects, the state fair is ultimately much more than this. First and foremost, fairs provide a variety of opportunities for youth to hone their skills. In particular, the state fair is the pinnacle of the year for 4-H members. Every year 4-H members chooses a project area they want to learn more about. It can be anything from photography to home improvement to more traditional, agriculturally-focused projects like cattle, crops and horticulture. Throughout the year 4-H members learn more about these project areas. Their experience culminates with the creation of an exhibit detailing their new insights for a show at the county fair. At the fair, judges interview the contestants and award their exhibits ribbons based on their merits. If a 4-H member does well enough, their exhibit is sent on to the State Fair where it is in contention to receive more awards. In addition, 4-H offers opportunities for competition in public speaking, livestock and demonstrations at the state fair. All of these provide middle and high schoolers a chance to explore their interests and develop their skills in public speaking, citizenship and leadership.

Fairs also offer the public a chance to examine industries and professions they don’t otherwise have a chance to directly interact with. For many, this is the only time of year that they can see where their food comes from and directly talk to producers. As the number of farmers in our country continues to decline, it is vitally important that the average American is educated about how their food is produced — mainly through the work of farmers who grow crops and raise livestock. A good example of this is the grape stomp at the Iowa State Fair. Iowans can learn about the winemaking industry while stomping on grapes the old-fashioned way. Visitors to the state fair also have the opportunity to see baby animals and learn more about animal agriculture in the Animal Learning Center. Iowa State’s own dairy science club also gives fairgoers a chance to learn about and try milking cows through their “I Milked a Cow” program at the state fair. Ultimately, this is what the state fair is all about. More than just fried foods and concerts, the fair gives an opportunity for all Iowans to experience agriculture, learn about things they are interested in and encounter people from various backgrounds. This year’s fair is now over and gone, but take the chance to go and learn something new next summer.

Welcome to Voices: Meet your editor BY WHITNEY.MASON @iowastatedaily.com Not that long ago, something caught my eyes as I was looking through my news feed. It was the photos from Beyonce’s September Vogue cover. Now I typically do not spend a whole lot of time clicking through a campaign of photos, but the issue’s cover had one statement that lured me right in: “everyone’s WHITNEY voice counts.” MASON This statement was something I have aspired to live by since I was a young girl. Since I was young I remember people always pointing out my ability to strike up a conversation with anyone I come into contact with and there was something from those conversations I always managed to remember and take away. This is now what I call perspectives. Two fall semesters ago, I was like the many freshmen walking around Central Campus. I struggled with navigating which building to go to next and juggling the new responsibilities I had on my plate. College was exciting and seemed daring, but with all the

new perspectives, new responsibilities, everything being new, I quickly was consumed and didn’t know where I could go to take an escape from everything. It was not long before I found myself stumbling into the Iowa State Daily’s office, solidifying the beginning of my mark here at Iowa State. For my first two years, I proudly served as the multicultural reporter for the Daily, quickly dedicating just about all my time and energy to giving those who before did not feel they were given a platform an opportunity to share their voices. From discussing experiences and unforeseen futures with undocumented immigrants in our community to being allowed to see the life of a male collegiate cheerleader, one perspective after another allowed me to learn that our community is stronger when we allow each other to embrace our perspectives. People do not have to be identical for a community to thrive. This is easily seen if we reference history. We see two individuals who vehemently opposed one another, help establish the nation we all reside in. Now, if you don’t have any idea of the two individuals I am referring to, I’ll give you some hints: one wrote the Declaration of Independence and the other has his portrait on the $10 bill. The launching of Voices at the Daily not only garnered excitement through our newsroom but through our community

as well. It simply became our bread and butter, one of the many ways we can continue our mission to inform and educate our community. Voices became something that meant the most to me even when I was a reporter. During my last days as a reporter, Voices was something I knew could serve as my unofficial gift back to the community. It seems many people feel disconnected and pitted against one another. However, everyday I see an opportunity for people to embrace one another and grow from one another. My hope this upcoming year is that you too embrace Voices and let it challenge and enlighten you intellectually. Through live events such as storytelling events and written content, my main mission is that it will generate dialogue on diversity and inclusion here in our community. If there’s anything I would like for you to take away from this greeting, I hope this question will be it. “How will you start making sure everyone’s voices count?” While you ponder this, I will make sure to make myself present in the community. You can catch me relaxing on Central Campus or greeting everyone who walks by me in Hamilton Hall. You may or may not have class with me or walk beside me on campus, but when you’re ready to answer my proposed question,

Make or break Why the first half of Iowa State’s schedule will define the season BY AARON.MARNER @iowastatedaily.com Last year, Matt Campbell and company clinched a bowl berth on Oct. 28 after beating No. 4 TCU, 14-7. Even though Iowa State lost three of the final four regular season games, the end of the season was a success, due in large part to the rigorous schedule the Cyclones faced near the finish line and, of course, the victory in the Liberty Bowl to cap off the season. The Cyclones won’t have that luxury this year. They can’t afford to lose three games in November of 2018. And because of that, the first half will make or break Iowa State’s season. Getting off to a 6-2 start like they did in 2017 would virtually guarantee a Big 12 Championship bid for the Cyclones if they can repeat that in 2018. There are some big roster changes. Three of last year’s four leading receivers are gone, along with leading tackler Joel Lanning. As a result, Iowa State can’t afford to ease into the season. “We’re taking it one day at a time,” said redshirt senior linebacker Willie Harvey. “Like coach Campbell mentioned, nobody’s gonna be surprised by us anymore. We have to come out and play from the jump.” Texas Tech, Kansas and Baylor are the three teams who were picked to finish below Iowa State in the Big 12 preseason poll. The Cyclones get them back-to-back-to-back from Oct. 27 through Nov. 10 this year. But before that? It’s brutal. Other than the opener against South Dakota State and a home game with Akron in late September, the first seven games will be tough tests, even for a veteran group. At Iowa in week two. Reigning Big 12 champions Oklahoma

to start off conference play. Last year’s second-place finisher, TCU, on the road for the second game of the Big 12 slate. Then last year’s No. 3 team in the league, Oklahoma State, also on the road, for the third Big 12 game. Let’s tally that up. Iowa State’s first three Big 12 games are against last season’s best, second best and third best teams, in order — and two of them are on the road. And the cherry on top? Iowa State’s reward for navigating that stretch is a matchup with preseason No. 17 West Virginia. Brutal. “Probably last year [other teams] didn’t focus on us,” Harvey said. “Now they’re watching extra film. We’ve got to have a sense of urgency this year.” I don’t know what Iowa State’s record will be after they get through West Virginia in game No. 7, but it gets easier after that. Bill Connelly of SB Nation wrote in his season preview that Iowa State “plays four projected top-40 teams on the road, and while Oklahoma does have to come to Ames, let’s just say the odds are good that the Sooners don’t throw it in cruise this time.” Simply surviving that stretch may be enough for Iowa State to have another strong season. The final five games should be a breeze, relatively speaking. The game at Texas could be tough — and let’s not pretend Iowa State has had even slight success against Kansas State in the past decade — but overall, the last five games are very, very manageable for a team of Iowa State’s caliber. That’s what makes the first seven so important — those final five games should be about pushing for a conference title or solidifying a better bowl bid. That won’t be the case if the Cyclones get tripped up too many times before mid-October.

Iowa State announced Tuesday that wrestler Austin Gomez will not compete in the upcoming 2018 Junior World Team Championships. Gomez will forgo traveling to Slovakia, where the Championships are being held, in order to take time off to heal a minor knee injury. “Austin, his family and our staff have decided to pull him from the upcoming Junior World Championships in Slovakia,” said Iowa State coach Kevin Dresser in a press release. “He injured his knee earlier this summer and it continues to be a nuisance so we are going to get that cleaned up. We expect Austin back and ready to roll at the beginning of October.” This summer, Gomez qualified at 61 kg at the Junior World Team Trials in Rochester, Minnesota, when he bested Cornell’s Vitali Arujau in a best-of-three series. Gomez won the first match after he completed a comeback from down 8-0. Gomez, a redshirt freshman, figures to be the starter at 133 pounds this coming season. In his redshirt season wrestling unattached, Gomez finished 8-0. Last season’s initial starter at 133 pounds, Ian Parker, ended the season wrestling at 141 pounds after the transfer of Kanen Storr, which leaves 133 wide open for Gomez. Iowa State struggled at 133 last season. Markus Simmons, who is no longer with the program, went 4-7 in duals at 133 pounds. The second year of the Dresser era in Ames begins Nov. 3 with the Cyclone Open.

COURTESY OF STUDENT UNION BOARD

Lovelytheband returns to ISU BY KYLE.CRAVENS @iowastatedaily.com Hot off of the release of their sleek first full-length album “Finding It Hard to Smile,” Los Angeles indie pop group lovelytheband is coming to Iowa State to perform in the Memorial Union’s Great Hall Thursday, Aug. 23 at 8 p.m. The concert is one of the events planned by the Student Union Board to kickoff the new academic year. Lovelytheband is an indie pop band hailing from Los Angeles. A three-piece act, the band is comprised of former Oh Honey vocalist Mitchy Collins, guitarist Jordan Greenwald and drummer Sam Price. Before their breakout 2017 hit “Broken,” Collins and Greenwald only knew each other through mutual friends. They found purpose through music and decided

not to attend college. As they sonically collaborated, they sought a drummer who would come in the form of Sam Price. They found their rhythm section on Instagram and reeled him in through direct messaging. From the start, the band has utilized what makes indie pop as a genre so successful. Catchy hooks, synth heavy melodies and lush layering are all prominent in lovelytheband’s catalog. Let’s talk more about the song “Broken” that managed to sizzle all over the Billboard top charts months after the bands inception. The song was the centerpiece to their “Everything I Could Never Say” extended play, and it represents the crux of lovelytheband’s template. “Broken” would go on to become the longest running #1 track on Alternative Radio thus far in 2018 with six weeks at the top. In under a year, it earned 25 million total global streams. The three men attempt to translate feelings and

emotions into invigorating indie pop anthems. Startling as it may be to see an indie group crash into the mainstream shores so quickly, the three men almost saw it coming, by using a connection with listeners that holds nothing back. “I really believe the importance of songwriting is saying something when someone else doesn’t know how to,” affirms Collins. “In the songs, I’m talking about life, trials, tribulations, depression, anxiety, and s--- I deal with as well as the headaches that come along with the good and bad days. My problems don’t define me, but we should embrace every side of who we are.” Recently, lovelytheband has been spotted supporting Vance Joy and AWOLNATION on tour in the midst of working on their debut release “Finding It Hard to Smile,” which includes 16 tracks all produced by the same mind who crafted “Broken,” collaborator Christian Medice.

Jack Trice to implement clear bag policy BY KENDALL.SHARP @iowastatedaily.com A clear bag policy at Jack Trice Stadium and Hilton Coliseum will be enforced starting this football season by the Iowa State athletic department. The clear bags will permit security staff to search bags in a more effective way. The process of identifying prohibited items like outside food and drink, alcohol, weapons and noisemakers will be quicker. “ We are implementing the same clear bag policy that all South Eastern Conference, Big 10 and NFL programs have in place,” said Megan Rodenburg, staffing coordinator for Iowa State athletics department. “Several other schools in the Big 12

also follow a clear bag policy. Many Cyclone fans experienced the clear bag policy at the Liberty Bowl and will be well prepared when they make the trip to Iowa City for the CyHawk game in September. The clear bag policy speeds up entry and provides a safer experience for all fans.” If a person attending the game forgets to bring a clear bag there is a place to purchase them near the venue. Cy’s Locker Room, located on the north side of Jack Trice, will sell clear bags on game day. The athletics department will also be handing out gallon-size Ziploc bags in all parking lots and at the gates. Attendees may bring them in to the venue. Individuals can also purchase the clear bags at the University Book Store.

Bags that do not meet the security requirements must be returned to vehicles, dorms or apartments, or disposed of. There will also be an area outside of each gate where fans can leave their bags if they chose to not put them in other places. “This area will not be secured so it will be at the owner’s risk,” Rodenburg said. Any diaper bags and bags containing medical items are exceptions to the clear bag policy and are allowed in the venue. These will still be subject to search. The clear bag policy will not apply to tailgating events. Any questions, comments or concerns, regarding the clear bag policy can be directed to the Athletics Guest Services office at 515-294-1848.

MADDIE LEOPARDO/ IOWA STATE DAILY The clear bag policy will go into effect at the beginning of the football season on Sept. 1 at Jack Trice Stadium.

TIBBETTS

pg1

Officials said a break in the case came after reviewing a video collected from an area on the east side of Brooklyn that showed Tibbetts was running when she was pursued by someone in a dark-colored Chevy Malibu. The car was later connected to Rivera, who admitted making contact with a woman running in Brooklyn. Rivera told police he parked his vehicle, got out of his car and began running alongside Tibbetts. According to the affidavit, Rivera said Tibbetts grabbed her phone and told him, “I’m gonna call the police.” Rivera panicked and then “blocked out” from his memory and “doesn’t remember anything until he came to at an intersection.”

Officials said Rivera then told them he “made a u-turn, drove back to an entrance to a field and then drove into a driveway to a cornfield.” The incident in the footage between Rivera and Tibbetts happened outside of Brooklyn on 385th street, but her body was then found in a cornfield on 460th street. Officials at the press conference said her body was discovered covered in corn stalks. They were unable to say how long the body, believed to be Tibbetts, had been there or an exact timeline, but said there would be an autopsy conducted on Wednesday in Ankeny, Iowa. More results from the autopsy were said to take “awhile.” Officials said Rivera is an undocumented immigrant who had been in the community

“between four and seven years.” Mortvedt was unable to confirm he had any previous criminal history but said he kept to himself in the community. In reaction to the news Tuesday that Tibbetts’ body was believed to be found, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said in a statement that she is heartbroken. “Today, our state woke up to heart-wrenching news,” Reynolds said. “As a mother, I can’t imagine the sorrow felt by the Tibbetts family. We are all suffering over the death of Mollie, knowing that it could have been our own daughter, sister or friend.” More than 4,000 tips were received in relation to the Tibbetts investigation. “We thank the Tibbetts family for their

support to us, and we hope that they will continue to have the support of their community and the nation in the coming weeks and months,” said DCI Special Agent in Charge, Richard Rahn, in a press release. Reynolds ended the statement saying they would bring justice to Mollie’s killer. “As Iowans, we are heartbroken, and we are angry,” Reynolds said. “We are angry that a broken immigration system allowed a predator like this to live in our community, and we will do all we can to bring justice to Mollie’s killer.” Rivera’s trial will be handled by the Attorney General’s Office because of his immigration status.
