uried in the student office space in the Memorial Union is a small room where Student Body President Cole Staudt and Vice President Cody West share a desk, a computer and have two placards with their names engraved on them. Their office, only a little bigger than a medium-sized bathroom stall, is decorated in ideas, ISU decor and scattered paperwork. About Staudt Staudt grew up in Floyd, Iowa. Population: 335. He attended school in Rockford, Iowa. Population: 860. And he graduated high school with 36 other people. But now, Staudt, senior in political science, is president of a student body 1,000 times his high school class size. Iowa State’s estimated population: 36,000. “It was an interesting change for me, coming from a place where everyone knew everything about everyone, to a place where you know nothing about most people,” Staudt said. Staudt and West, senior in biology, hope to, as Staudt described it, lay the groundwork for future students and governments in helping to build a better, healthier university. On special task forces Since formally accepting their positions in April, Staudt and West have been building on the goals they set during their campaign, which included medical amnesty, a Dead Week policy, diversity and sexual assault. On Aug. 3, Staudt established three task forces — sexual assault, civic engagement and mental health — in which committees are designed to focus on research, resources and prevention. The task forces are then designed to present their findings to Staudt on Oct. 31, where they will give an assessment on the issue at hand, identify goals for the community and create two to four recommendations to be pursued. On the tuition increase Over the summer, the Iowa Board of Regents approved a tuition increase for all three regent universities. For most students at Iowa State, the tuition increased about $100 to $200. The regents officially approved the increase in July, but at the June meeting, student leaders at the universities, including Staudt, provided input on how they felt students would feel the weight of the increase. “Three hundred dollars may not seem

like a lot, but to college students and to me it is,” Staudt said at the meeting. “Three hundred dollars is what I will spend on food this entire summer.” In issuing his statement at the meeting, Staudt said he had asked for student input, where he got approximately 600 responses. While many read, “No, don’t raise my tuition,” Staudt said he looked for responses that said how it affected individual students. Staudt said he had pulled together an executive council before attending the regents meeting, as he also had wanted direct input from some sort of advisory group. They all agreed that the increase was the direction they needed to go.

“Reflective in my statement [was], basically we reluctantly support the increase,” Staudt said. “No one wants a tuition increase, but we recognize why we need one.” On medical amnesty Medical amnesty, which is a law or act enacted to protect individuals from liability when seeking medical attention as a result of illegal actions, is something Staudt and West have been pushing since their campaign. “That’s the policy where if students call for help, if they’re underage and they’ve been drinking and they call for

An individual committed suicide near Hilton Coliseum on Tuesday night, according to Ames Police. At about 8:30 p.m., Iowa State police responded to a call from an individual who had called Ames Police stating that he was wanting to kill himself, Interim ISU Police Chief Aaron DeLashmutt said late Tuesday. The individual said he had a rifle, according to scanner traffic. DeLashmutt said police arrived at the scene and found the individual dead in his vehicle. Police blocked off Center Drive between Beach and University. Police said there is no reason to believe the community is at risk or unsafe, and that the incident is currently an ongoing investigation into the death. Police would not confirm as of Tuesday night if the individual was an ISU student. John McCarroll, executive director of University Relations, said he could not comment further on the situation and had not spoken to police as of 11 p.m. Iowa State has not issued a timely warning about the situation as of midnight. Police plan to issue a statement about the incident, but could not confirm when that statement would be released. Police were in the process of making notifications to family and friends of the individual, DeLashmutt said. “The loss of a life is always a tragedy no matter the cause,” Student Government President Cole Staudt said at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday. “If a student did know this individual, they can call the Dean of Students office or Student Counseling Center to talk to a professional.”

New resource planning system? By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com In 2011, Maury Hope, former associate chief information officer in Information Technology Services, wrote a blog post regarding the enterprise resource planning, ERP, system that outlined the role of the administra tive system Kuali, PRESIDENT w h i c h STEVEN LEATH Iowa State uses. Hope wrote that Iowa State had embarked on a journey in 2006 to review and evolve the system to meet the challenges of the 21st century. “The administrative systems, often referred to as enterprise resource planning systems, needed more flexibility due to changing regulations and competitive pressures, and they needed to operate in concert with the ever-changing technology needs of faculty, staff and students,” Hope said. After the 2006 review, a longrange strategy was developed, according to the post. And for the fiscal year of 2012, the final stages of the Kuali Financial System, along with the first phase

of the Kuali Coeus research administrative systems, were set to be assembled for the start of the fiscal year 2013 in July 2012. The Kuali Financial System, which is used at universities across the country and “is a comprehensive and fully auditable product uniquely suited to higher education,” and Kuali Coeus “allows institutions to maximize funding and make more informed decisions.” However, negotiations are underway for a new ERP and student information system, SIS, that will replace Iowa State’s financial, human resources and current SIS, according to an Inside Iowa State article. “It’s a legacy system, and then different universities write pieces to go around it to fix certain areas where the main program didn’t cover. So what we’ve had is a system that was developed over 30 years that obviously works,” said ISU President Steven Leath. Chief Financial Officer Miles Lackey told Inside Iowa State that the new ERP and SIS cloudbased software will eventually run the university’s financial, human resources and student information systems. During the interview with the Daily, Leath cited the new computer system as part of a big advantage to students, faculty and staff during the restructuring of many university offices, because

The scholarship is part of the Monsanto Graduate Student Scholarship program, a three-year program that was started last year by

Monsanto, a sustainable agriculture company. The program was created to bring awareness of opportunities in agriculture to students who are majoring in STEM, said Daphne Dorsey, corporate media relations manager at Monsanto. “We award these scholarships to high-achieving minority students who are either pursuing a master’s degree or Ph.D. degree, and are either studying STEM related courses or pursuing a career in

agriculture,” Dorsey said. The scholarship program awarded $250,000 in scholarships to 10 master’s students this fall, and $200,000 in scholarships to four doctoral candidates, according to a press release from Monsanto. “At Monsanto, we are looking to create an innovative workforce.

Council approves fireworks Jack Trice adds new feature By Jake. Dalbey @iowastatedaily.com

David Mena, senior in dietetics, greets students before a Connect Four club meeting on Tuesday in LeBaron Hall. The club’s mission is to give students of color in the College of Human Sciences opportunities to interact with other students and campus resources.

Connect Four mentors freshmen Multicultural group helps first-years become acquainted with ISU community By Emily.Clement @iowastatedaily.com Looking to make friends and get acquainted with campus? Connect Four, a multicultural group on campus, has students covered, kicking off its first meeting in LeBaron Hall on Tuesday. Connect Four is meant for first-year students who want to meet new people and be a part of a community that is welcoming and willing to help them be-

come familiar with campus. “[Connect Four] is a multicultural group, [but] it does not limit itself to Hispanics, blacks or Asians, and we want to encourage everyone to join,” said Crissy Lewis, junior and mentor for Connect Four. Mentors are upperclass students who have been a part of the group in the past and want to help freshmen become acquainted with campus. “The purpose is to evolve the freshmen to get a better grasp on how to be a really

well-established student,” Lewis said. Lewis added that the group also offers academic support. “We all come together and really primarily focus on academics and devote ourselves to evolve into better students,” Lewis said. Participants of Connect Four tend to have a higher GPA than students who are not a participant of the club, according to Connect Four’s page on the Iowa State website. Freshmen had the

chance to get acquainted with the group and meet new people during the kickoff event. “[I think the purpose of this group is] to find a small community within the large community at Iowa State,” said Rachel Velazquez, freshman in food science. “It’s nice to be in a group that is really welcoming.” Velazquez, along with other freshmen, participated in “get to know you” activities with the mentors of Connect Four during the event. More than 20 fresh-

men attended the event. “It’s really fun,” said Miguel Limon, junior and mentor of Connect Four. “It’s nice to see the new incoming freshmen and other mentors.” Mentors attended the event to help the freshmen get to know one another and to welcome them to the group. Connect Four meets at least twice a month, when they continue to get to know one another, enjoy snacks and particpate in different activities.

The Ames City Council met Tuesday to discuss and approve the use of upgraded pyrotechnics and fireworks to be used inside Jack Trice Stadium. Planned as an accompaniment to player entrances during home football games, the newly designed fireworks will feature pillars of fire as well as an extended fireworks show. “The specific is first to use flames for all [of] our home team entrances that would reach heights of up to 12 feet,” said Mary Pink, associate ISU athletics director of marketing. ”We’ve done tests with environment health and safety as well as the fire marshal.” Along with the flames, Pink also wished to include a fireworks show to be specifically created for the Nov. 3 football game against Oklahoma State. “We would shoot fireworks off the Jacobson Building right as the team walks out for one to two minutes,” Pink said. ”This is special due to the game being at night as well as being broadcast live nationally.” First Ward Council Member Gloria Betcher expressed several concerns

Duo shares affinity for posters, wildlife at ISU By Austin.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com Albert Einstein rests on a table, his bald head and hair reflective of his crazy scientist perception. Bob Marley hangs out in the corner with a blunt perched between his lips. Even Jesus Christ lies on the ground. He sits in the water with animals all around. There are pyramids in the foreground and a rainbow overhead. The most important man in a room full of icons, however, stands barefoot with his curly hair tied back in a ponytail near the entryway of the poster sale. Frank Nebenburgh, along with his assistant Audrey Bonk, are the two responsible for bringing Einstein, Marley and Jesus posters

to Iowa State for the annual poster sale. Nebenburgh and Bonk are charged with keeping the Campanile Room stocked with 1,500 posters from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. Ron Swanson and Chance The Rapper have been two of the best sellers this year, but the posters of cities and travel are what Nebenburgh and Bonk relate to the most. Both of their professions are related to helping wildlife and have taken them individually all over the country and even the world. “My M.O. through all of it, especially in my 20s, was I wanted to travel the world and get paid for it,” Nebenburgh said. Nebenburgh has done exactly that for the last 12 or 13 years. However, with wildlife work being only available during certain seasons, he

went without working and traveling for some time during each of his first three years on the job. Then a friend of a friend was looking for an assistant to help out with selling posters on college campuses. 10 years later, Nebenburgh hasn’t turned back. He has favorites and he’s proud of the fine art prints, the new and old. “It’s not like they’re my baby but I have an affinity toward certain posters and things that we have,” Nebenburgh said. Iowa State marks his first stop on a six-week tour in Iowa, Minnesota and Michigan, selling posters on college campuses. He’ll be at Iowa State for a week and a half before he moves on to colleges in Minnesota, including a two-week stop at the University of Minnesota.

Students can purchase posters at the Memorial Union poster sale from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Friday. Most posters cost between $8 and $12.

Before the tour started, Nebenburgh and Bonk finished working in New Jersey with Piping Plovers, birds that nest on the beach, making them endangered. That is where the duo initially connected before teaming up on their second project that brought Bonk back to Iowa State, where she recently graduated with a degree in natural resource management.

“With this poster sale, even though this room is kush, you can be in strenuous situations,” Nebenburgh said. “Seeing Audrey work in the field, I knew she could hack whatever the poster sale would throw at her.” Since graduation from Iowa State, Bonk has traveled from her home in Minnesota to South Africa doing wildlife work . Yet, she still

remembers the poster sale when she was in school. She still has a poster from her freshman year that she still has tucked away at home, a poster that reads, “le chat noir,” which translates from French as “the black cat.” “It’s cool to see it from the other side,” Bonk said. “When you hear someone gasp, when they find their favorite thing, it’s cool. It’s really cool.”

RESOURCE p1 they are working toward a “much higher level of transparency,” particularly in regard to what money comes in and where it goes and who has it. “And I think in a public organization we need to be about as open with that as we can be,” Leath said. “Part of that effort will be a new computer system. So it will be relatively easy for anyone to get any budget they want to see and what’s being spent and where’s the money going.” According to an Iowa Board of Regents document submitted by Jim Kurtenbach, who at the time had just accepted the role as

FIREWORKS p3 for the propositions, however, and how it involves the Ames community. “I’m trying to highlight how often south campus community has to listen to fireworks these days. We have many requests,”

interim chief information officer for IT, created a TIER Implementation Plan for Iowa State in IT services, where he cited that the two aforementioned Kuali systems launched in 2013 will result in a 10-year total cost savings of an estimated $7 million to $10 million. “Although most Kuali development has recently transitioned to a private corporation, Iowa State University will evaluate a unique opportunity to influence the Student Systems product development, ensuring the best technology-enabled tools are delivered and adapted to meet ISU’s requirements,” Kurtenbach wrote in the document. “This cloud-

based technology could provide cost offsets that will transform how information technology is utilized by staff and staff support systems over the next decade.” Leath said they are also looking at academic analytics to predict success, and with the current system, they don’t have good ways to track budgets and instantly produce fiscal supports. “And more importantly, there’s going to be a lack of support for the [current] system we’re on as we go forward,” Leath said. According to the Inside Iowa State article, the negotiations for the system will begin once a contract for the ERP SIS has been

finalized. “This program we’re gonna buy will be very expensive,” Leath said. “It will be painful for the staff because even if you implement it perfectly, everybody’s gotta learn all the new software, and you know, one day you’re going to turn the switch and you’re going to hope everybody gets paid, because your payroll will be on it.” This will be one of the bigger, more challenging, behind-the-scenes projects Iowa State has done, Leath said, but they want to make sure that in pursuing a new ERP SIS, they get the right system, the right implementation team, and that all goes well.

Betcher said. ”However, this one happens to be earlier in the evening so most residents are not going to be asleep yet or be woken.” As a final note, Betcher also mentioned the effect explosions have on returning war veterans at Iowa State and the surrounding area.

“Increasingly we have a lot of vets returning to school at Iowa State, and pyrotechnics can be a problem for those who return with PTSD,” Betcher said. ”When we approve these requests, considerations like these have to be in our minds, whereas vets may be

expecting 4th of July fireworks there may be other times where a triggering could take place.” Despite these possible issues, the motion was carried with no opposition, and will be integrated into the fall football game schedule.

THE DEA’S

BEEF AGAINST

MEDICAL

MARIJUANA

DEA’s refusal to declassify pot is one of ignorance By Michael.Heckle @iowastatedaily.com

he federal government has, once again, shown its unwillingness to ease its draconian stance on the issue of marijuana. On Aug. 12, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), in conjunction with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), unsurprisingly declined to loosen its stance on the highly debated substance. While marijuana is and will, for the time being, stay a Schedule 1 drug — meaning it has no recognized medical properties — two recent petitions would have moved the drug into a lower classification to coincide with more recent medical and political attitudes. Basing the decision evaluations made by the FDA, the DEA concluded that there was not enough long-term research to reclassify marijuana into a classification more appropriate for its medicinal qualities. However, the news isn’t all bad for cannabis advocates. After years of non-science friendly regulations, the DEA announced that the organization would make marijuana research opportunities more available for scientists. However, the DEA’s unscientific policies toward marijuana already have held back research for decades. It’s somewhat ironic that the DEA would refuse the reclassification of marijuana based solely on lack of medical research when the organization itself has, for years, made it next to impossible for

scientists to study the drug for anything more than potential harm. From 2008 to 2014, the National Institute of Health spent an an estimated $1.4 billion on marijuana research, according to News21, a Carnegie-Knight national student reporting program based out of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University. Of that $1.4 billion, only $297 million was spent on researching marijuana’s effects on the brain and its potential medicinal value, less than a fourth of what is spent studying the same factors in chemically addictive opioids and benzodiazepines. At the same time, an incredible $1.1 billion went to studying addiction and abuse of a substance that, some researchers suggest, is less addictive than caffeine. At the same time, the federal grants required to conduct accurate and complete research often have been difficult to obtain for researchers who focus on cannabis. The approval process for such research has been historically lengthy, with approval from the DEA, FDA and National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) needed. And with all the red tape, it can take researchers years to get approval. Furthermore, less that 1,000 of approved studies will last for more than seven years, making conducting long-term research nearly impossible. In short, the DEA and FDA did not have enough long-term research to reclassify marijuana into a more appropriate and scientifically accurate classification because they have repeatedly made such research impossible to conduct. Although the DEA has claimed it will make research on marijuana more readily available, comments made by the organization’s chief last year create serious doubt about the integrity of such a claim.

Calling smokeable medical marijuana a “joke,” DEA Chief Chuck Rosenberg urged for an “intellectually honest debate” while belittling the roughly 1.2 million people who use medical marijuana in states where it is legal. However, the United States isn’t the only country that is rethinking its outlook on marijuana. If the DEA really wants an idea of the long-term effects of marijuana use, it would have to look no further than one of our allies in the Middle East: Israel. Since the discovery of THC, the main chemical component in marijuana, by Israeli researcher Raphael Mechoulam, Israel has paved the way for medical marijuana research. Because Israeli government makes marijuana easily accessible for scientists to research, almost every research institution in the country studies the drug. And while marijuana for recreational use is still illegal in the country, Israel is considered one of the most forward-thinking nations in terms of its attitude toward medical marijuana. In fact, the country has approved the use of cannabis as medicine since 1992. And even as 25 states and the District of Columbia legalized cannabis for medical use, the DEA, up until this latest statement, has been reluctant to change its outdated stance on the drug. While it’s good that the slow movers at the DEA are now finally open to allowing more research, they are so far behind the curve that the discrepancies between state and federal governments may take decades to resolve themselves. During that time, more people will continue to be prosecuted at a federal level for possessing a substance that is either nominally legal or completely legal in half of the country.

FAFSA punishes financial responsibility By Beth.Woodruff @iowastatedaily.com Each year, thousands of students file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, FAFSA, in hopes they will receive some financial aid to help them pay for their college experience. I am one of those students, and every year I receive the same award amount, zero dollars. I don’t even qualify for a subsidized loan. At this point, people are probably thinking I come from a rich family and dad foots my whole U-Bill with his pocket change. Unfortunately, this is not the case. My family has an income that is considered below average for the United States, my mother is a special education teacher and my father is a self-employed artist. However, FAFSA punishes my family each year for their fiscal responsibility. For those who may not know, FAFSA is a form that families with college students file every year to see what governmental assistance they may qualify for. According to the Federal Student Aid’s official website, a family’s eligibility is calculated by taking the student’s cost of attendance, COA, minus the estimated family contribution, EFC. The COA of a student is simply how much their university charges per year. For example, the COA of Iowa State this year is

$17,570. The EFC is determined by an extremely overwhelming and complicated formula that can be found on the student aid website. Long story short, the EFC primarily comes down to parents’ and students’ taxable incomes and assets, and this is where financial responsibility becomes a burden. My family always has emphasized the importance of saving and investing, therefore my whole family has a wide variety of assets ranging from savings accounts to stock holdings. Unfortunately, because the way FAFSA is set up, these assets are taken into consideration when determining my family’s EFC. While initially this may seem fair to most people, I’m here to argue that FAFSA should look strictly at income of a family. The assets my family, and presumably many others across the country, are set aside for things other than college. Many of the assets my parents have are intended for their retirement, not paying my tuition, yet FAFSA looks at these accounts and expects my family to dissolve them to pay for my education. In total this year, my EFC was over 60 percent of my parents’ annual income, simply because they had the foresight to invest and save. However, according to an aid calculator sponsored by The College Board, an online

Columnist Woodruff argues that FAFSA should only consider the income of students and families since assets are set aside for things other than tution.

reference for nearly everything about college, if FAFSA were to solely look at the income of a family, my EFC would drop to 12 percent of my family’s income, a much more manageable amount. With the way FAFSA formulas are currently set up, they strongly discourage the parent and child from saving or investing, as they will receive less aid. If the system were to simply look at income alone, many families like my own would receive the financial aid they truly need. With FAFSA putting up these daunting roadblocks for savings, many students are reverting to finding loopholes in the system. Websites such as finaid.org give

college students tips to beat the system. The advice includes putting savings accounts in the younger siblings names, or making any major purchases necessary right before filing FAFSA so the family’s assets are greatly diminished. It is time the financial aid system must be reconfigured to focus only on family income. FAFSA needs to stop focusing on assets and assuming all savings accounts are meant for the child’s education. Saving and investing should be rewarded, but students are currently punished for their family’s forward thinking and left in desperate need of aid that is ultimately out of reach.

While BYU would make a strong athletic contribution, the university’s pro-discriminatory Honor Code makes it a bad fit for the Big 12.

Big 12 expansion should leave BYU behind The Big 12 Conference may soon hold true to its name and consist of 12 universities. The conference, currently made up of 10 teams, has been exploring the possibility of expanding to 12 or 14 teams by the end of the 2016 year. BYU, a private, religious institution operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has formally requested to join the Big 12 Conference, which presents an ethical dilemma for the conference. Athletically, BYU would make a strong addition to the conference. However, its bid falls through with a simple glance at BYU’s pro-discriminatory Honor Code that all students and staff must follow. The Honor Code states, in part, “Homosexual behavior is inappropriate and violates the Honor Code. Homosexual behavior includes not only sexual relations between members of the same sex, but all forms of physical intimacy that give expression to homosexual feelings.” Whether BYU actively enforces the rule on its staff and students, as it has in the past, is not the issue. The issue lies with the fact that the right to discriminate against someone because of who they love is enshrined in the school’s Honor Code. The Big 12 Conference already has two universities that hold religious affiliations. Baylor, a Baptist institution, has eliminated anti-LGBT wording from its list of conduct that could lead to disciplinary action. However, it still does not recognize same-sex marriage. TCU is affiliated with the Disciples of Christ and recently updated its Student Handbook to include a non-discrimination statement that forbids discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity and expression. Logistically, other issues and questions are raised when considering BYU. Due to religious convictions, sporting events cannot take place on Sundays. While this may not be an issue for the football team, it does cause a logistical nightmare for other Big 12 sports that frequently play on Sundays. Other contenders in the pack to join the Big 12 include the University of Cincinnati, the University of Houston, the University of Connecticut and Colorado State, to name a few. Each of these teams could benefit the conference while still keeping the integrity and inclusiveness of the Big 12 intact. If the Big 12 needs a little help with its decision, it should look toward the NBA, which pulled its All-Star Game from North Carolina due to a discriminatory bathroom law. Inclusion must occur at all levels, from the playing fields and courts to the classrooms.

Redshirt senior forward/defender Mia McAleer pursues control of the soccer ball against South Dakota State on Sunday at the Cyclones Sports Complex. McAleer is one of seven seniors who will be relied upon this season to help lead the team.

ISU soccer seniors lead by example By Rich.Stevens @iowastatedaily.com Three South Dakota State players stood just five yards in front of redshirt sophomore midfielder Brooke Tasker. Tasker found the ball on her foot via a deflection and had enough to fire a shot from 35 yards out. The ball sailed over the leaping goalie and found the back of the net. The ISU soccer team wouldn’t need another goal in order to win a

1-0 contest Sunday at its home opener. While the game appeared close in score, there was little doubt that the game was well within the hands of ISU coach Tony Minatta’s squad. Led by seven seniors, the team is capable of winning big games. After a tough loss in the season opener at Florida last Friday, the players were happy to be back home to play in front of their fans. “The home opener is always an important

game for us and our fans,” Tasker said. “It’s nice to be able to bounce back from playing the No. 7 team in the nation and get a win.” The Cyclones outshot the Jackrabbits 14-1. Several shots ricocheted off the posts before the Jackrabbit defense moved the ball out of box. “We had 19 players [Sunday],” Minatta said. “Everyone can play. We probably could have even gone deeper than that if we needed to.”

Having so many capable players has been one thing that Minatta had been stressing before the season started. It’s creating internal competition and bringing out the best in each member of the team. The deep bench, combined with the senior leadership, has given the younger players a lot of confidence moving forward. “The seniors are awesome,” Tasker said. “They’re keeping everyone focused and are

advocates for what to do on and off the field for everyone from the freshmen all the way up to themselves.” Tasker was one of three transfers who joined the team last spring. Along with eight freshmen, the seniors have had opportunities to set the tone. Tasker, Klasey Medelberg and freshman midfielder Hannah Cade have all echoed sentiments about the welcoming nature of the seniors. The seniors are often described as up-

front and willing to tell everyone what needs to be done and when. “It’s time for them to carry their experience forward,” Minatta said. “They need to show these younger players the kind of consistent effort that it takes each and every game.” So far, everyone seems open to the teachings and experience that the seniors are showing. “They’re very direct with us,” Medelberg said. “They hold us all accountable.”

Liberos in competition Teammates push each other for starting spot By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com

ISU linebacker Kane Seeley celebrates with Willie Harvey after recovering a fumble against Iowa on Sept. 12, 2015, at Jack Trice Stadium. Seeley will be the starting middle linebacker for the Cyclones this season.

Kane Seeley taking starting ISU linebacker role in stride By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com Like any other college football coach, Matt Campbell wanted to take his time and evaluate his players before making any final decisions on starting spots. Many players knew the starters wouldn’t be solidified until fall camp. But there was an exception: Linebacker Kane Seeley. After seeing his work level and grading him at scrimmages in the spring, Campbell made the official decision to name Seeley as the starting middle linebacker. “It means a lot, but at the same time, I still have to prove myself,” Seeley said at ISU media day last week. “It’s an honor right now to be in that role but I need to keep pushing my foot on the

gas and help my teammates out.” Seeley spent four seasons as a utility linebacker and never earned the starting spot at the beginning of a football season. Now a redshirt senior, he has played in all 36 games, starting in just six. Defensive coordinator Jon Heacock kept it simple on the decision. He said Seeley had the best grades in spring camp. Seeley consistently received As and Bs. “You’re dealing with a veteran there. Kane [Seeley] has been around this deal a long time,” Heacock said. “He’s been through a lot of different defenses and a lot of different defensive coaches, but an older guy handles that a little better. He continues to work and learn every day and he’s got people behind him that are

trying to take his job.” Seeley said he’s gained knowledge and maturity throughout his time at Iowa State. He’s ready to be a leader for not only the linebacker position, but for the defense as a whole. Seeley is slated to be the only starting upperclassman linebacker. Two of the linebackers would be redshirt sophomores and the other would be a redshirt freshman. Campbell has the utmost respect and confidence in Seeley for this upcoming season. He knows Seeley will get the job done and create the tough atmosphere needed for the ISU defense. “Kane [Seeley] brings a lot of intangibles to the table in terms of linebacker play,” Campbell said. “Kane [Seeley] won the linebacker position based on work ethic and we know he can do the job.”

After Branen Berta’s freshman season, ISU volleyball coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said the young libero needed to get better at serving if she wanted a chance to carve out a spot in the Cyclones’ rotation. Berta took it to heart and worked on her serve with assistant coaches Joe Lynch and Dawn Sullivan. They worked on her toss, how she needed to hit the ball and how her hand needed to pop. That extra work paid dividends. As a sophomore, Berta was fifth in the Big 12 in aces. Now, that extra work could land her the starting libero spot at Iowa State, a school with a rich history of liberos. “I think her biggest strength is serving,” Johnson-Lynch said. “She runs points when she’s back there. Her passing and ball handling is very, very good, but I think she serves as good as any libero we’ve had.” The libero competition is still ongoing for the Cyclones. The leaders in the clubhouse are Berta and sophomore Abby Phillips. Johnson-Lynch said the biggest thing the team looks for in its liberos is passing, but it could come down to other statistics and details. After [passing] it’s serving and defense and those are all — not totally objective — but rather objective. “But there is an intangible part to libero. Can you be vocal? Can you control the floor? Can you be a calming presence?”

Emily Blobaum/Iowa State Daily

Junior libero Branen Berta serves the ball during a match against North Dakota State University on April 9.

While Berta’s strength is her serving, Phillips’ strength is her defense. She has a knack for reading the ball. “I’m very solid in my serve receive,” Phillips said. “I’m also defensively fast.” Johnson-Lynch said Phillips also covers her hitters well — meaning if a teammate hits the ball hard into the opposing teams’ block and the ball comes back onto her side, she has quick reactions to pick that ball up and keep the point alive. In practice, the two liberos are almost statistically identical. The competition will come down to the details. But the two liberos also are helping each other out during practice — giving each other tips on ways they could get better. “It’s been a really friendly

competition,” Berta said. “I’ll watch her dig and she’ll watch me pass and we get tips from each other and encourage each other. It hasn’t been feisty, it’s been super friendly competition and I absolutely love it because I just think if you don’t have any competition, then you really don’t work as hard. “We’re really pushing each other to fight for that spot.” Teammate Alexis Conaway, a middle blocker, is comfortable with either one as the team’s defensive specialist. “They work their butts off every day,” Conaway said. “And it’s just fun to play with them – you know that the ball isn’t going to hit the ground. No matter who plays, it’s going to be great, and I’m excited for it.”

Ex-Cyclone goalie takes over D-III team By Connor.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com Scott Ismond spent five seasons in front of the net for Cyclone Hockey, but now he will stand behind the bench for the 2016-17 season. Ismond graduated from Iowa State and finished his playing career with Cyclone Hockey in 2015. He took a summer internship in Calgary and returned to be an assistant coach for the team that fall. Ismond’s hometown of Calgary was suffering from a poor economy, he said, so he decided to come back to Iowa State to work on his master’s degree and help coach the Cyclone Hockey team. Ismond became an assistant coach and started working toward his master’s degree in spring 2016. After a year behind the Division III team’s bench as an assistant, he assumed a new position as the head coach. “It’s always a challenge when a player moves from the role of a player in an organization immediately to a coach in that same organization,” Division I coach Jason Fairman said in a press release. “[But] I think Scott was able to make that transition over the course of last year. “So with that, I think he’s ready to make the transition to be the head coach of the [Division III team] and I looked forward to the upcoming [season].” After former Division III coach Shom Datta accepted a position with the Indian National Hockey Team, the spot to head the Division III team opened up. Fairman helped Ismond coach the Division III team whenever the Division I team played at home. When the top team went on the road, Ismond spent time behind the bench by himself, but he wasn’t officially the head coach. “[The promotion] was something that [the staff and I] kind of talked about over the summer,” Ismond said. “I officially knew [of the news] when it was announced on our website. With having personal ties with the program, it’s obviously very exciting.” Ismond played for the Division I team in 2010 and moved to the Division III team in 2011, when he was the starting goalie. “Being back with that

STYLE IT’S ALL IN THE

By Maggie.Curry @iowastatedaily.com This summer was busy in the fashion world, with new trends popping up in stores almost weekly. School may be in session, but style is holding on to summer and its trends — most of which lie in the details of a garment. We’ve outlined a few of those details that will still be wearable into the fall. LAYERED IN LACE Lace comes with centuries of fashion connotations — on collars, ruffled sleeves or your grandmother’s curtains. Many of us think of lace as trim that comes on a spool at the back of the fabric store, by the ribbons. Lace is now so much more — it made a comeback last spring as part of a romantic, floral trend influenced by the boho-chic of the ‘70s. Back then, cotton lacing acted as embellishment, but today, lace is the pattern on a garment, usually in a contrasting, solid lace overlay, or even the garment itself. Lace can be feminine and romantic in a layered lace skirt. If that isn’t your style, try a modern take on solid black lace tops for a tougher, sophisticated edge. To add in just a little bit of the trend without going overboard, layer a lace bralette under an open-backed tank top or a draped shirt for a touch of the feminine. LACING IT ALL UP Lacing is now a trend in almost any article of clothing or accessory. The first spotting of the trend was with the return of gladiator sandals, which evolved into lacing details on tops, dresses, pants and sleeves. Laced fronts, backs and sides are common on current tops and dresses and add a fun, peek-a-boo effect. Keep it classy by avoiding large gaps and too-tight material. Keep the lacing to under 6 inches to avoid a corset look. This trend evolved out of the ‘70s fashion wave that also brought us bell-bottoms, overalls and tie-dye, so beware of oversize sleeves. Paired with lacing, you’ll end up with the “pirate” look. Keep it current by looking for simple dresses and shirts with lacing the only additional detail. TASSELS AREN’T JUST FOR CORN It started with pom poms hanging off the hem of loose, bohemian festival shorts. The pom-poms have since been replaced by tassels, and now they’re on dresses, tops, even jewelry. Tassels have a long history with garments, evolving out of the knots used to prevent weaving from unraveling. Tassels accompanied fringe in this year’s ‘70s fashion revival.

This is the perfect trend for do-it-yourself projects, since tassels are just loosely hanging thread, cord or other material knotted at one end. You can even find sandals, purses and bracelets with tassels, or create your own. Adding a tassel accessory is the perfect way to bring an outfit on trend. You can even add one to your backpack. WARM WEATHER, COLD SHOULDERS The cold-shoulder top is a flattering style on most everyone, thanks to the illusion the lines of the garment gives to the width of a wearer’s shoulders. Cold-shoulder tops have an opening around the upper arm that separates the shoulder and sleeve seams. This opening is what gives the tops their name.

Cold-shoulders can be found in tops and dresses. The style has a sexy feel, because only a little skin is revealed in an unexpected area. The ‘80s went for the same sexy feeling with off-the-shoulder tops, which had a resurgence in the ‘90s and 2000s. The modern cold-shoulder is a better option, since it can hide bra straps and limits the potential for looking like you should be working next to Julia Roberts in “Pretty Woman.”

Fall weather must-haves These items will have you prepared By Maggie.Curry @iowastatedaily.com The first week of school is an adjustment in many areas — learning the bus system, finding your classes — and realizing that the weather is going to change six times throughout the day. Here’s a few fashion items you should have in your closet to deal with Iowa’s continuously changing fall weather.

A CHAMBRAY SHIRT For students walking around campus, the summer heat and humidity is a constant battle. As soon as you step into a building, however, the air conditioning reminds you that Iowa will once again have winter. How can you stay cool and not freeze when you’re stepping in and out of airconditioned buildings? Skip the sweatshirt, which can be hot and bulky,

and pull out your chambray shirt instead. Denim is ontrend right now, so a chambray shirt is the perfect way to check both style boxes. Pair it with a skirt and tank top for warmer days, or pull it over a dress. The chambray can be tied around your waist when walking across campus. For windy days, throw your chambray over a Tshirt and leggings to keep the chill away.

A RAINPROOF JACKET AND BOOTS Nothing is worse than stepping out of your 10 a.m. class and realizing that the sunny morning has turned into a cold, rainy midmorning. Don’t get caught in the drizzle unprepared. Rainproof jackets come in zip-up and poncho styles. Look for a fabric that rolls easily and can sit in your bag, just in case. Rain boots are a necessary staple for walking across campus. During

SUNGLASSES The sun can be blinding in the mid-afternoon, reflecting off the concrete. A near miss with a bus is all it takes to convince you to keep sunglasses in your bag. Look for sturdy frames that won’t get injured in your backpack.

STUGOV p1 help, they’re not going to get in trouble for drinking underage,” Staudt said. This is something Staudt has personal experience with, particularly as a freshman, and he recalled a time when a friend he was with should have gone to the hospital. However, out of fear, they didn’t make the call. “We don’t want that [fear] to happen where it gets to a point where a student doesn’t go to the hospital because their friends are afraid of getting in trouble or getting them in trouble, and then they die,” Staudt said. “That’s what we’re trying to prevent.” Staudt said the bottom line of the medical amnesty policy boils down to student safety, an in other states where the policy exists, it’s been proven to be successful.

SCHOLARSHIP p1 ing a career in agriculture, Dorsey said. “By providing these scholarships, we are basically letting students know that if you are someone who is majoring in stem, that there is a place for you

The University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa student body presidents are also on board with the amnesty policy, and Staudt said they all plan to go to legislature and lobby together to get policy enacted. On Cyclone 101 Staudt is seeking feedback on an idea that could change the way students are introduced to five stables of adult life and general living. While every student is required to take Library 160, a course designed to teach information literacy, Staudt hopes to increase that required knowledge by laying the groundwork for a course currently called Cyclone 101. Cyclone 101 would be a 16-week orientation course designed with five interchangeable modules. The five modules Staudt is currently looking into include:

sexual assault and bystander intervention training, civic engagement and diversity and inclusion, financial literacy, information literacy and university resources. New students would be required to take the course their first semester, and Staudt estimates that the class will take at least two years to get up and running. “This idea, when I started talking about it,” Staudt said, “[was] a very idealistic type of thing. I didn’t think I was going to get anywhere with this. “There’s just this grand vision, like, if we could do anything and had no limitations, this is what we would do.” While not all of the ideas are threaded out, Staudt hopes the Cyclone 101 course will help students learn essential skills and knowledge that will benefit them and change or create a

better culture surrounding sexual assault and diversity that they aren’t getting now. On the Agora Another project Staudt and West have spearheaded is the renaming of the areas typically referred to as the “free-speech zones” on campus. Staudt, along with Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion Reginald Stewart, the University Counsel’s office, Facilities Planning and Management, made slight adjustments to the policy and created new guideline documents that are easy for students, staff and guests to understand, according to an executive update by Staudt. There will be signs put in both locations of the “freespeech zones” outlining what an Agora is. This will be implemented within the next few weeks. On accessibility On what Staudt and West

want their constituents to know about them, Staudt said he wants students to know that he is available to students through any means possible. “We’re always accessible,” Staudt said. Staudt offered that students can tweet at him, come into the office and even text him at 1 a.m., if need be. “I leave my phone number out there so they can do that,” Staudt said, mentioning that he will be available for a student can talk to him about anything. And for West, he jokingly said, “Besides the fact that I’ve been a Cyclone my entire life?” He said he hopes students know that going to Student Government about a problem, concern, issue or anything else shouldn’t be an intimidating experience. “It should be an experi-

ence where you have the freedom to openly express your ideas and know that people at Student Government aren’t going to bash those, they aren’t going disrespect those,” West said. “Any idea that comes to us, we’re going to come out with an open mind.” “We care about the student experience, we care about their success,” Staudt said. On the future Once their time in office is complete, Staudt said he hopes to leave a roadmap and establish a path for future leaders to not only follow and expand upon, but to look back at. “Every president’s going to have their own goals, but at the end of the day,” Staudt said, “everyone’s goals are going to be to create a more inclusive campus, a safer campus, a smarter campus.”

within agriculture.” Brendel learned about the scholarship in an email from the agricultural and biosystems engineering program that he is currently pursuing his master’s degree in. While pursuing his master’s, Brendel is also teaching

ABE 160 at Iowa State, and is involved in a variety of extracurricular activities. He has been an officer for the Cycling Club for six years and has been a part of the Sailing & Windsports Club and Engineers for a Sustainable World. He was

president of all of these clubs at one point and said that his involvement with the Cycling Club has been his favorite so far. He also enjoys his job as a Special Olympics coach. After obtaining his master’s degree, Brendel plans on pursuing his Ph.D. and hopes to then go into a career in teaching. He discovered his passion for agricultural and biosystems engineering through an honors research program that he participated in during freshman year at Iowa State. He began the program researching with Michelle Soupir, associate professor of agricultural and biosys-

tems engineering, who is now his major professor. He has been working in the lab ever since and is currently doing water quality research. His master’s thesis project, which he is currently working on, is on the water quality of Blackhawk Lake near Carol, Iowa. Specifically, he is researching the problems that the lake has with algae and turbidity, caused by nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous coming into the water. “For my project, I’m looking at phosphorus leaving the soil and the environment and then going into the water and lake,” Brendel said. “Specifically, I’m looking

at phosphorus through tile drainage.” When he’s not researching or working, Brendel enjoys activities such as mountain biking, snowboarding and skiing. His advice to students who are pursuing a degree in a similar field? “Spend time on classwork, but try to get involved with other stuff too,” he said. He also stressed the importance of time management and attributes that skill as a key factor in his success. Brendel said being awarded this scholarship will help him pay tuition so he has more time for teaching and research rather than stressing about money for school.
