ISU suspends SAE for at least four years By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State revoked fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s status as a student organization and the chapter has been suspended by

the fraternity’s national council for at least four years, according to a letter from Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s national council members. The fraternity had been at Iowa State since 1905. Sara Kellogg, assistant dean of students, said an investigation

by the Office of Student Conduct found actions that had violated the Student Disciplinary Regulations. Kellogg said she could not discuss what actions led to the the violations. Peter Englin, director of the

Department of Residence, said the fraternity house is now operated by the Department of Residence and another fraternity that is being housed in Larch Hall is looking at moving into the fraternity house at 140 Lynn Ave. Blaine Ayers, executive di-

TUESDAY $2

By Sarah.Muller @iowastatedaily.com Kevin Hart, comedian, actor and producer, is visiting Hilton Coliseum in October, and students have the chance to see him for a reasonable price. Tickets for the Oct. 4 event go on sale at 9 a.m. Monday. Students can see Hart for $25, and the public can attend for $65. Tickets can be purchased on Ticketmaster and the ISU Athletics ticket office. Students can use their student ID number to grab one of the 4,000 available general admission student tickets. W i n s t o n Stalvey, senior in marketing and finance and national events director at Student Union Board, explained how Hart’s act is different. “We have great connections and relationships with a bunch of different agencies,” Stalvey said. “One of them Kevin Hart came up and said that they were talking about different ideas for Kevin Hart.” SUB emphasizes the importance of utilizing relationships with agencies. Years of forming connections with professionals has allowed SUB to bring in large acts based on the cost to host and ability to sell tickets. “We expect [sales] to go well,” said George Micalone, director of Student Activities. “There are only 4,000 student tickets available, which is substantial since you can’t buy a Kevin Hart ticket for less than $80 anyway, so to have any at $25 is unheard of.” Based on the capacity, SUB and the agency communicates on what the gross revenue potential is. Using that number, the two correlate on a student ticket amount. The general admission price has evolved to $65, while the student amount has stayed consistent. “Traditionally, artists have price points that they need to look at and offer,” Micalone said. “In this case, because of the nature of his act he knows he sells tickets. With Kevin Hart, we got in with the University of Iowa, and between our two schools, we presented the gross potential he could make on these ticket prices.” SUB has meetings for students to attend to be informed on the SUB leaders, ways to volunteer and upcoming events. “We usually book 80 to 90 percent of the acts before the semester starts,” Stalvey said. Most planning cannot be done until funding is secured. “There’s value in us having secured funding for long term, so we can work [in] advance on getting better deals,” Micalone said. Both Micalone and Stalvey stressed how inclusive SUB is and its influential role on campus. “We love people coming in and volunteering,” Stalvey said. “It’s a great time, especially for some of these national event shows to see what goes on in the background of these major concerts.” Last year, SUB put on more than 350 events for more than 55,000 participants and expects many more acts in the future. “I work at KURE and there are several [bands] that chart on the college radio lists that never come here,” said Ayla Hendrickson, sophomore in architecture. “It would be great if we could get the people who chart there to come here.” For students like David Daft, junior in elementary education, the cost of tickets is a concern when deciding whether to attend. “[The pricing] is pretty reasonable,” Daft said. “I’m kind of a cheap person and don’t like to spend a lot of money. One of my favorite comedians came last May and I didn’t go because it was too expensive.”

Top campus news of the summer Recent events spur change at Iowa State By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com Thielen Student Health Center receives harsh review A comprehensive review of Thielen Student Health Center released in March has identified a number of deficiencies at the facility, some potentially “catastrophic.” The 59-page Keeling and Associates review, commissioned by the Office of the Senior Vice President of Student Affairs and President Steven Leath in 2014, cited problems and offered solutions in 15 areas of concern, among which include the center’s organizational structure, access to services, staffing models and more. The report said the “consequences of a prolonged lack of skilled and effective leadership, diligent attention to staffing and the service model ... have seriously impaired TSHC’s organizational and operational effectiveness, endangered its accreditation, undermined the quality of care and service it provides to students, created significant risks for the University, and made student health care at Iowa State a source of increasing concern and serious complaints.” Martino Harmon, associate vice president of student affairs, took over as interim director after former Director Michelle Hendricks retired in September 2014. Mary Hensley, a retired administrator at the University of Minnesota, took over as interim director in July. Harmon said the university has been working

to address the issues since it received the report in March. Leath said what was most concerning to him was the fact the university didn’t catch the issues before the report. “Students complained and we finally heard it,” Leath said in an interview with Iowa State Daily staff. “We realized we had a lot to do.” Hensley said the revamp of student health services this year will include recruiting quality personnel, looking at fiscal practices and adjusting space to accommodate students. Boyfriend of Tong Shao arrested in China The boyfriend of Tong Shao, an ISU international student who was found

dead in Iowa City in September 2014, was arrested this summer. Xiangnan Li, 23, surrendered to police in China, his native country, according to an Iowa City Police Department news release. After an investigation with Iowa City Police, Li was arrested June 19 on charges of “intentional homicide,” according to the release. Shao, 20, was a junior at Iowa State during the Fall 2014 semester when she was reported missing to the Ames Police Department on Sept. 17. Li, a Chinese international student at the University of Iowa, was in a relationship with Shao and is accused of killing her. Shao’s body was found in her Toyota Camry nine days later in Iowa City.

Under Chinese criminal law, Chinese citizens are subject to prosecution for any crimes they commit abroad. Punishments for intentional homicide may include imprisonment over 10 years, life in prison or the death penalty. Construction accident in Campustown Two men working on construction of a new sixstory apartment building in Campustown died after they fell from a scaffolding June 19. Javier Hernandez, 35, of Des Moines, was pronounced dead at the scene. Alfredo Jarez, unknown age, of Des Moines, was treated at Mary Greeley Medical Center before his death June 22. The cause of the accident is still under investigation. A witness reported the workers were wearing safety harnesses, but they weren’t tied off to the safety ropes on the scaffolding. ISU student and Iowa National Guardsman drowns in Guam A 20-year-old ISU student and member of the Iowa National Guard drowned July 25 while swimming at Marbo Cave in Mangilao, Guam. Senior airman Drew Bellairs, who had just finished his first year at Iowa State, was a member of the Maintenance Group, 185th Air Refueling Wing, according to an Iowa National Guard news release. Bellairs, who had previously been deployed to Japan for a typhoon response, and a group of friends were swimming in the cave during leisure time when Bellairs swam into an air pocket of a cave and wasn’t able to get out. His friends left to get scuba equipment to help him out of the area, but when they returned, Bellairs was unresponsive.

Steve Prohm was called upon June 8 to replace Fred Hoiberg as Iowa State’s men’s basketball coach.

Uber arrives in Ames Uber rode into Ames over the summer, just in time for the flood of a record number of students coming to campus to try it out. Dan Breitbarth, Student Government president, was the first to ride. He said the ride service can help students find a more convenient ride, can be a job opportunity and provide a safe way to get home. Ames is the fourth metropolitan city in Iowa to feature Uber. Prohm selected as men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg, former ISU men’s basketball coach and the man known as “The Mayor” of Ames, moved on to the NBA this summer to coach in Chicago, opening up the slot to coach a top Big 12 school for another eager coach. The new coach students will welcome into Hilton Coliseum come basketball season is Steve Prohm, formerly men’s basketball coach of Murray State. Prohm led Murray State to a 104-29 overall record in his four years as head coach. ISU solar team races to historic victory Iowa State solar car Team PrISUm raced nearly 760 miles to a historic victory this summer at the

Formula Sun Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. The team built the entire car, named Phaeton after the Greek demigod of the sun, from scratch. Not only did the team win for the first time in ISU history by taking the most laps of all, but its 400-pound vehicle made the fastest lap, beating the second-place team by 20 seconds. Regents tuition hike The Iowa Board of Regents proposed a 3 percent, or $100, tuition increase for undergraduate resident students for the spring 2016 semester, but it won’t be voted on until the Sept. 9 meeting. The increase was proposed after Gov. Terry Branstad used his line-item veto power to cut funding allocated by the General Assembly to offset the costs of a tuition freeze for a third consecutive year. The board originally asked legislators for a 1.75 percent base increase in funding. After a drawn out battle at the State House, a 1.25 percent increase and just more than $6.2 million in one-time funding for all three universities. If approved, spring tuition at Iowa State would rise to $3,424 for resident undergraduates.

Students sing agriculture’s praises Interns teach about farm at Iowa State Fair By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com While Iowa State Fairgoers ingest greasy foods, gardeners show overgrown vegetables and children are strapped into rickety Midway rides, ISU students use their internships to teach Iowans the importance of agriculture. Josie McQuillen, senior in agricultural and life sciences, grew up on a farm in Cascade, Iowa, and she said her education at Iowa State and internship with the Iowa Pork Producers has helped her bridge the gap between agricultural producers and consumers.

During the fair, McQuillen represented the Iowa Pork Producers in the Agriculture Building and also at the Little Hands on the Farm and Animal Learning Center interactive displays, where she taught children about the swine industry. In the Animal Learning Center, six sows were shuffled in during the first few days of the fair where they gave birth, known as farrowing. McQuillen said the fair provides an opportunity for Iowans to remember their agricultural roots and learn about modern-day farming from those in the industry. “We want to share our story,” McQuillen said of the Iowa Pork Producers. “There are people out there who have a lot of questions if they’ve never even seen a pig before. Here, they can see it hands-on and ask questions from our Iowa Pork Produc-

es tas

ers. It helps them realize more that we’re not hiding anything.” McQuillen, who grew up on a farrowing farm and showed pigs in 4-H and Future Farmers of America during high school, said she wants to dismiss the perception that today’s farmers work in industrial plants and don’t care about their animals’ well-being. The 2012 Census of Agriculture reported that 97 percent of U.S. farms were family owned. Rebecca Haugland, senior in agricultural and life sciences education, interned with the state 4-H office and worked as a livestock specialist program assistant. Haugland coordinated the staff and volunteers at different livestock shows. Haugland did not grow up on a farm but said her previous nine years of 4-H involvement helped her

learn how the agriculture industry is important in Iowa, but the industry is still expanding. “Even though we have all the stuff at the state fair — the food on the stick — it still has that presence of agriculture. Farmers are still the ones that feed all of us and show everyone in Iowa that production agriculture is still here, and it’s a growing point for us,” Haugland said. She said her class and club experiences at Iowa State also prepared her to work in the industry and made her understand the influence Iowa State has in the agriculture industry. “If you’re at the fair, look around and see how many times you see [ISU] T-shirts. That connection between [Iowa State] Extension and Iowa State in the showrooms, the Varied Industries Building and 4-H is huge,” Haugland said.

What you missed during a summer full of politics By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com As the weather heated up this summer, so did caucus season in Iowa. A slew of candidates have been traveling across the state to pitch their message to voters ahead of February’s Iowa Caucus, while state officials have also made headlines. Here is a rundown of a few big stories, from Iowa and nationally, that made waves in politics this summer: Donald Trump By all calculations, Trump has defied the laws of politics while often raising eyebrows with the controversial statements he makes, but his poll numbers have skyrocketed in the months following his May announcement he would run. “He’s really tapped into the [conservative] version of populism,” said Mack Shelley, professor of political science. Trump has been somewhat vague on specific policy, but he did release a sixpage policy paper related to immigration — a topic that has caused controversy because of his comments on the subject. As for the populist appeal, Trump said he supports “free trade,” but has been skeptical on trade deals that could hurt American workers. He has repeatedly called U.S. officials “stupid” and “incompetent” for their handling of trade. Trump has also said, with his massive wealth, he can self-fund a campaign and will not be beholden to special interests. A poll conducted last week by CNN/ORC, which polled voters nationally, showed Trump at 22 percent support. Hillary vs. Bernie While Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton

Donald Trump gives a thumbs up to the crowd at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames on July 18.

still maintains a wide lead in most polling, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the independent, self-described “socialist,” has been gaining ground and drawing huge crowds at his events. Clinton continues to face questions about her use of a private email server as Secretary of State. Some Democrats worry the issue continues to paint Clinton as untrustworthy, and that may open the door for more candidates to jump in the Democratic side. In Iowa, a CNN/ORC poll of likely caucus voters earlier this month showed Clinton at 51 percent with Sanders at 31 percent. Iran nuclear deal Perhaps the biggest policy story of the summer came when news of

an agreement between Iran and five other powers had been reached regarding Iran’s capabilities when it comes to building a nuclear weapon. Congress has a say when it comes to lifting economic sanctions on Iran, but even if Congress votes down the removal, Obama will veto. It would take two-thirds support in each chamber for keeping sanctions for Congress to override the veto. All five Republicans in Iowa’s delegation are likely to oppose the deal. Some have said they are continuing to review it, while some have already announced opposition. U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack, the only Democrat in Iowa’s delegation, has yet to announce his support or

opposition. King gets a challenger, Loebsack likely safe U.S. Rep. Steve King of Iowa’s 4th District was able to beat his 2014 opponent by a huge 23.3 percent margin, but that has not stopped O’Brien County Democratic Party chair Kim Weaver from jumping in the race. At the Iowa Democrat’s annual “Wing Ding” dinner, Weaver announced she plans to challenge King. She offered a wide range of issues to those in attendance, taking a fairly liberal stance on every issue. In Iowa’s 2nd District, Loebsack still kept his seat by just more than 5 percent in the 2014 midterms that saw a Republican wave. Loebsack has yet to get any official challengers for 2016, but his seat leans Democratic and should be an easy save, Shelley said. 1st and 3rd Congressional District races will be close First-term U.S. Reps. Rod Blum and David Young both have several Democrats hoping to take over their seats, and both races are listed as “toss-up” seats by several news outlets that rate each district every election. In Iowa’s 1st District, Blum narrowly defeated former House Speaker Pat Murphy by just 2.3 percent. Murphy has jumped in the race again this cycle, while Cedar Rapids Councilwoman Monica Vernon and former Saturday Night Live star Gary Kroeger are seeking the Democratic nomination. In Iowa’s 3rd District, Young defeated former state Rep. Staci Appel by a wider margin — 10.5 percent — but a presidential election year will likely be closer. Iraq war vet and 2014 House candidate from Iowa’s 4th District, Jim Mowrer, has announced he will seek the seat.

The start of the school year brings thousands of new faces to campus, both students and staff, many of which will face problems setting up and connecting technology. This year, Iowa State’s Information Technology Department has created a new website that will enable new students and staff to quickly get set up to begin their new adventure. The website, located online at newtoisu.it.iastate. edu, is live for students and staff who need help configuring their devices. “The IT communications team created the ‘New to ISU’ site to welcome and orient new students, faculty

and staff to ISU and help them understand technology here,” said Dan Ryan, director of communications and marketing for IT. “It is an easy way to pull together all those things that people need to access when they arrive on campus.” The website has information for new students, faculty and staff on how to log in and set up email, where computer labs are located, where printing is available and how to set up benefits for staff members. “This site is one exam-

ple of how IT is a resource to ISU students. We want students to think of IT as a resource for security, technical help with software and hardware, computer repair and up-to-date technology information,” Ryan said. A lot of work has been put into learning what is most important to include. “A challenging thing was content,” said Elizabeth Krugler, a graduate student in journalism and mass communication who worked with Ryan and his team on developing the site.

The creators consulted the Solutions Center and received feedback from students, faculty and staff on what they often have the most problems with. This in turn provided ideas on what to include on the site. Jim Kurtenbach, chief information officer at Iowa State, said the website is part of his focus on the “continuous improvement of technology” at Iowa State. The ultimate goal of the website is to make the transition to Iowa State easier for everyone, and ITS wants feedback on the new site. “We are promoting the site extensively on campus and will soon be surveying students for their feedback on the site,” Ryan said. Students and faculty who have used the site can share feedback by emailing it@iastate.edu or submitting feedback through social media. IT’s Twitter is @isuits (twitter.com/isuits) and its Facebook page is available at www.facebook. com/isuits.

Challenge: Get involved, stay informed and share your voice

Photo Illustration: Beth Woodrow/Iowa State Daily

Columnist Beth Woodruff believes the new generation of youth is in a great position to carry the momentum of eliminating gender segregation, and praises Target’s move to eradicate labeling of boys’ and girls’ items.

America’s youth in position to end gender segregation By Beth.Woodruff @iowastatedaily.com

ender roles have been a major component in American society for decades, however a recent decision by a corporate giant may change this social norm forever. Controversy has erupted over the change Target plans to make to its toy sections. The mega retailer put out a press release Aug. 7, stating that over the next few months it will faze out gender separated items, namely toys. This movement will eliminate color segregation and there will no longer be any “girl” and “boy” toy sets. A mother’s Twitter comment showing a picture of the building sets and girls’ building sets aisle marker with the comment “don’t do this,” served as an unofficial catalyst toward the movement. The flip side of the argument can be seen from Rev. Franklin Graham in an interview with Fox News. Graham is the son of famous evangelist Billy Graham. Franklin is now the CEO of Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian relief program, and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Graham has also spoken out on other topics such as the legalization of gay marriage. In the interview, Graham said, “God made us male and female, that’s just a fact …” I am not going to deny that children were born either a boy or a girl. I am, however, refuting that they need to stay within the human set parameters of what is considered “for girls”

and what is “for boys.” As far as I am concerned it’s about damn time the gender neutrality movement came about. Growing up, I was the girl who loved the color blue, watched Ninja Turtles on Saturday mornings and chose a dinosaur over a Barbie any day. While my parents fostered this and encouraged me to choose my play toys based on my interests, I witnessed countless other parents tell their daughters “that’s for boys.” A specific example dates far back to my Girl Scout troop when we went to Build-A-Bear Workshop. While all the other girls in my troop toiled over which dress to put on their bears, I walked straight over to the Batman costume. When our group returned home one of the girls took a look at my bear and said, “that’s for boys.” Fast forward a few years to a local girl’s birthday party. I brought her a dinosaur model set, a play item I loved as a child. I watched as she opened my present, and to my bewilderment, a somewhat disgusted look crossed her mother’s face. The girl seemed excited until she saw how her parent had reacted. The dinosaur was quickly tossed into the plethora of pink plastic purses and lip gloss. The saddest part of all this is it’s a reality that so many children have grown up in. They were forced into gender roles immediately and took their parents’ and peers’ opinions as gospel. “Knowing” which activities and toys are for

girls and which are for boys. Healthychildren.org states that children as young as 3 differentiate between “girl” and “boy” toys. This horrific statistic demonstrates just how heavily the world has pushed children into gender roles. Not only have young kids been affected by these gender generalizations, they have come to live by them. Always brand pads and tampons released an advertisement series in which it individually asked both men, women, young girls and boys to perform actions “like a girl.” The results were astounding. While the older women, men and young boys did the actions in a derogatory manner, the younger girls and women performed the actions to the best of their abilities. This simple experiment displays how young women are attempting to break gender roles and barriers that have been placed on them since they were young. Young girls are trying to demonstrate how they can do or be anything they want, despite traditional attitudes. Target removing gender-based toys is a step toward eliminating these self-prophesying roles. I feel as though this new generation is a perfect jumping off point to eliminate gender segregation. These children will be growing up in a world where gay marriage has just been legalized, and the acceptance of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community is on the rise. Children deserve to be children, not slaves chained down by pink and blue.

GUEST COLUMN

Trump runs unorthodox campaign Editor’s note: One of The Daily’s focuses this semester is to engage students in conversations on politics and explain how political processes affect students’ lives. The Daily asked University Professor of Political Science Steffen Schmidt, who is a nationally known political commentator, to be a regular guest columnist. By Steffen Schmidt, university professor Donald Trump showed up in Mobile, Ala. this week. You’re a student. Should you care? Yes! What happens in Washington will deeply affect your personal life. His advanced team had secured venues and kept upping the size — a hotel; 10,000 convention center; until he ended up in a very large stadium — the Ladd-Peebles Stadium, home

field for the University of South Alabama Jaguars — with a significant crowd. His Boeing 757 flew over the stadium. Who else running for president has such a toy? Trump marched into the venue with white shoes, pants and red baseball cap to the tune of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama.” The crowd went nuts. Trump had no coherent speech. In fact, it was an incoherent zigzagging journey across … whatever — but when he said “illegal immigration” the cheers went up. “A woman in California: raped, sodomized and killed by an illegal immigrant,” Trump began his list. “A veteran.” “Anchor Baby.” There was no script. There was no mind map. It was an amazing free association journey of hot button words. “Stock market down. General Petraeus. The 14th Amend-

ment. I was right. You can do something fast. You have 300,000 babies. You have to take care of them. These are the children born to ‘illegals.’” Trumps list went on. “I decided to run. I got an amazing reception,” Trump said. Crowd cheers. “We have a great politician here … Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions,” Trump said. “Donald. Welcome to my hometown, Mobile, Ala.,” Sessions said. Wow! I was floored. Trump is getting endorsements. He’s drilling down to the grassroots to find a “local.” But was it an endorsement? Yes! Sessions is “an immigration hard-liner who has been counseling Trump and helped him develop his immigration policy paper,” according to the Washington Post. “We’re leading in every poll. Every state, including Alabama.

We’re leading in Florida.” The crowd goes nuts again. A woman has the book “The Art of the Deal.” “I love that book. Bring that here. Bring her here,” Trump said. He grabbed the book and signed it. “It’s my second favorite book.” “What’s my favorite book? The Bible!” At the end of his speech it seemed to me that everyone was bored. Trump was talking mostly about himself and Trump’s business deals, stuff that no one could understand or follow. As the event ended, I was wondering if this was his last big event. Or would angry voters, celebrity seekers, those who really hate illegal immigrants and the “silent majority” have Trump’s back no matter what? It’s impossible to analyze. Trump is not merely a candidate; he’s a phenomenon.

Cyclones, it’s time for a challenge. This might not be the first thing you want to hear after a summer of relaxing on a beach, drinking lemonade or weekend barbecues. The Iowa State Daily hopes you all had wonderful summers. But it’s time to get back to business. Every semester brings in both new and returning faces, personalities, hobbies and goals. With these new characteristics on campus, new challenges — and new issues — arise. During the spring 2015 semester, there were three timely warnings for sexual assaults sent out to the ISU community. Surely more than three students were sexually assaulted, but victims were too ashamed or scared to come forward. Also, the university only sends out timely warnings if anything poses an imminent threat to campus. We may never know how many students are actually sexually assaulted. The latest Student Government election had a turnout of only 12.8 percent, or slightly more than 4,000 students. Student population then was more than 34,000. Toward the end of the spring semester, we finally heard students speaking out against sexual assaults. Student groups held vigils and fundraisers. The number of opinion articles, editorials and letters to the editor on the issue increased. People seemed to know who the new Student Government leaders are, Dan Breitbarth and Megan Sweere, and seemed to actually kind of care about what Student Government will do to improve life on campus. This is a new academic year. New issues will surface and old issues will have added angles. And the Iowa State Daily has a challenge for you. It’s simple: Get involved, stay informed and share your voice. We want you to know what’s going on around campus. We want to share your stories. We want to know what makes each part of this campus tick. And we want to share that with all of you in the most efficient and innovative way possible. But in order to do that, you need to hold up your end of the bargain. You’re going to need to care. You’re going to need to care about what’s happening around you. You’re going to need to care enough to say something if you see something (stole that catchphrase from ISU Police; thanks, guys). Stay informed: This year is one of the influential ones that pops up every four years: the caucuses. Higher education is a big topic this election. You should, at the very least, know the names and parties of the presidential candidates. But you should demand more. You should demand to know more about your presidential candidates. You should especially demand to know their stance on higher education funding and student loans. Get involved: Join a club. Volunteer. Go to a campus-hosted weekend event. Attend a lecture. The ISU Lectures Program brings in numerous interesting and engaging speakers meant to get you thinking and questioning. By doing these things, you will become more invested in your community and more willing to learn and care about it. Share your voice: Write a letter to the editor. Put up a booth at the free speech zone. Contact your local representatives. This challenge does not discriminate. Not by age, gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, income, GPA or otherwise. Everyone has the responsibility and the opportunity to do these three simple things.

Cyclones emphasize ‘team’ in defense By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com Some defenses around the NCAA will be highlighted by All-American and AllConference players, but that won’t be the case with the ISU defense. During the course of fall camp and at the completion of it on Saturday, various coaches proclaimed the defense won’t be run by one star player but rather a team effort from all 11 players on the field. “We don’t have superstar on defense, we do not have a superstar,” said ISU defensive coordinator Wally Burnham. “It’s strictly a team defense. They’ve taken a lot of pride in that.” After the third scrimmage on Saturday, Burnham said the defense looks more prepared than in past years and has more motivation than at this time last season, which bodes well for a unit known for its struggles in stopping big plays against high-powered, Big 12 offenses. Iowa State ranked 120th in the NCAA in rushing yards allowed and 119th in passing yards allowed in 2014, falling well short of the bar the team envisioned at the beginning of last season. With another year of experience under some of the player’s belts, and the arrival of multiple junior college transfers, coaches have

ISU defensive coordinator Wally Burnham said the Cyclones have no single superstar on defense this season. He said it’s strictly a team defense, and players have taken pride in that.

mentioned those numbers should change this season. Senior cornerback Nigel Tribune even went as far to say that he believes the secondary could be the best in the Big 12. Burnham mentioned he has seen an uptick in the defense’s “pride.” He’s not sure if it will translate to results on the field but is hopeful that it will assist in the team winning more than

the two victories it picked up last season. “If we have a good practice, we all — coaches and players — stay on the field,” Burnham said. “That’s a pride thing. It’s our field, it’s our territory. They’ve taken pride in those sort of things. Does that mean wins? I don’t know.” Burnham said it will be a team effort on defense, but through the two-week

fall camp, he has seen some players that have impressed. Junior college nose guard Demond Tucker is one of those guys. Tucker, a 6-foot, 296-pound Florida native, hasn’t just impressed Burnham, but coaches on both sides of the ball, including ISU offensive coordinator Mark Mangino. “I see Demond Tucker, an outstanding nose

[guard],” Mangino said. ”He’s quick, he’s strong, he’s compact. He’s hard to block, he uses his hands really well.” Tucker’s ability on the field coupled with his loud vocals helps make him a favorite to emerge as a superstar later in the season. “[Tucker] is active both in mouth and in action,” Head Coach Paul Rhoads said. “That’s the spirit that

we need. He’s not afraid to be a ‘rah-rah’ guy. He’s not afraid to stand up and say, ‘Hey, we got to do this or we got to do that.’ That’s encouraging to see.” All three coaches also mentioned redshirt junior Jarnor Jones, a transfer from Georgia Military College, who is slated to start in the nickel position for the Cyclones — a hybrid of a linebacker and a safety. He spent two seasons at North Carolina State as a strong safety and Burnham said Jones is still acclimating to life closer to the line of scrimmage. He fits in nicely to Iowa State’s new defense, which is attempting to move toward 3-4 structure. “He’s what we like to recruit,” Rhoads said. “He’s a fun football player to watch. I love the length that he brings to our team on the perimeter.” The real question for the defense will be if it can take the step from being a boost to the team’s success rather than a liability. Burnham likes what he sees with two weeks left until the season opener against Northern Iowa. “They have no excuses. They’re a close-knit unit … I think we’re going to play really hard this year,” Burnham said. “What does that mean? I don’t know. I hope it means wins, but I know we’re going to get everything they got.”

ISU basketball returns home Team, Prohm bond during 10-day Spain trip By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com After a 10-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, the ISU men’s basketball team is back in Ames. The Cyclones traveled around Spain, where they played three games against different international opponents. They finished with a 2-1 record, and it was the team’s first real chance to play for head coach Steve Prohm, who was hired in June. “It was good to just get out there and coach those guys,” Prohm said. “[It] gave them a good feel for me and how we’ll play and how I’ll coach them. The guys were great.” But Prohm wasn’t focused entirely on improving on the court. Instead, he just wanted to get to know his team a little better, something both he and senior Georges Niang said they accomplished. “Our guys definitely became closer,” Niang said. “We did a lot of cool things, stuff that was set up and

stuff just that we did on our own with exploring the city. That was super cool, and Spain was a lot of fun.” The Cyclones played first against the Venezuelan National Team. Iowa State jumped out to a 20-point lead early, but then things started to go south. In the end, the Cyclones couldn’t hold on to the early lead, losing 82-77. Without a full roster, Prohm said it was just too hard to keep up a consistent level of play. While the loss stung initially, Niang said it ended up moving the team in the right direction. “Those guys are professionals, and they didn’t hesitate to let us know when you were out there, whether it was in Spanish or in English,” Niang said. “It was obviously tough. I hate losing. Everybody hates losing. But sometimes you have to fall to get up.” Iowa State turned around and won the next two games against both the Valencia All Stars and the Barcelona All Stars. The Cyclones were scheduled to play a fourth game, but had to cancel the contest because of a stomach bug that spread through the team. After just three games with Prohm at the reins, players said they already

feel comfortable with the new system. “He’s definitely going to hold us accountable,” Niang said. “He is a great fit for us. He really lets us get out and play and isn’t really micromanaging, but he is going to hold us accountable … that’s one thing I really like about him. I think he’s a good fit for us right now.” Now that the team is back in Ames, Prohm said the focus will remain the same. Prohm’s main goal is just to truly become a team — and he knows that only comes with time. “You’re not going to get a team the very first time you throw it up,” Prohm said. “You form a team by going through adversity, by going through tough situations. “So when we get going here in about a week or so, I want them in a bunch of tough situations to where I have to challenge them ... so we can get to the root of the issues, solve them and then get better from that.”

Sigma Alpha Epsilon has been suspended by the fraternityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national council for at least four years.

Ayers said in the letter to Iowa Gamma chapter members. All chapter members have been immediately

suspended and no longer have membership rights, and future membership statuses will be determined on a case-by-case basis, according to the letter. The four-year suspension comes after Iowa Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chapter was temporarily suspended and under investigation by Iowa Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Offi ce of Student Conduct and national chapter beginning Jan. 21 after a member was suspended for involvement in a sexual assault case.

40 members left the fraternity, leaving the fraternity to recruit incoming freshmen. Kellogg said she could not comment on why the fraternity was suspended but said the Office of Student Conduct was involved with the investigation along with the Office of Equal Opportunity, which investigates sexual assault cases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what would come out of that investigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The investigation helped support the charges, which we then charged the fraternity with,â&#x20AC;? Kellogg said. Kellogg said the chapter was not charged with sexual assault, but she said the investigation is not far enough along to say whether an individual was charged with sexual assault. Iowa Gamma alumni Lawrence Cunningham, former chapter adviser and CEO of the Iowa State Daily, and Jeff Taylor, House Corporation Board member, said in a letter to members

in good standing that they were disappointed with the suspension, but the decision will put the chapter on the easiest course to return to campus after four years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the help of the national fraternity, we are optimistic that the Iowa Gamma chapter will be reestablished with a group of men who exemplify our beliefs and who serve as leaders on campus and in the

community,â&#x20AC;? Cunningham and Taylor said in a letter. Alumni members of the chapter in good standing were asked to consider being involved in plans to re-establish the chapter in Fall 2019 in the letter and were reminded that they are not allowed to affiliate themselves or have underground activities associated with the fraternity and risk hurting the chapterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

chances of re-establishment if they do. Former Chapter President Christian Dahl declined to comment, saying he had transferred schools and no longer represented the fraternity. Kellogg said fraternity Beta Theta Pi is also pending investigation but would not say where the fraternity is in the investigation process.
