Sophomore Jared Ingram and senior Kendra White are members of the ISU track and field team and were raised in and near Ferguson, where Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer Aug. 9. Ingram and White joined and contributed to the protests that occurred in Ferguson and downtown St. Louis.

Inside Ferguson Two ISU students return to college, leave home in violent turmoil By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com Kendra White, a senior in chemistry and a member of the ISU track and field team, left Florissant, a St. Louis suburb, and headed back to college just like thousands of students do each and every year. As White was leaving, her little brother cried and asked if he could go to college with his sister. What makes her story different from many other students’ situations is that White’s 13-year old brother wanted to go to college with his big sister to escape the area that in recent weeks had resembled a war zone: Ferguson. “It worries me,” White said of leaving Florissant to move back to Ames. “When I left my brother crying, he was holding on to me and wouldn’t let me out of the door and was like, ‘Can I move where you’re going?’ ... he was saying ‘I’ll pack

my stuff.’ “I worry about it because my brother could be walking down West Florissant [Street] with his friends to get snacks or whatever and something could pop off again and he’s stuck right there in the middle of it alone. That’s a dangerous situation.” The towns of Ferguson and Florissant, which share a school district, meet on West Florissant Street, a name which may be more familiar after the past few weeks of news coverage. The previously anonymous St. Louis suburb of Ferguson became a national news story Aug. 9 amid the controversy that followed Michael Brown’s death. Brown, an unarmed African-American man, was shot and killed by a Ferguson police officer on West Florissant Street. Worrying about her brother wasn’t the first time White had been worried in the aftermath of Brown’s death. She worried for Brown’s family, though she didn’t know them personally. She worried about her own family, knowing that Brown’s fate could have easily been her own fate. “It hit home when I realized [where Brown was

shot is] literally five minutes down the street,” White said. “It hurt for me to see Mike Brown’s mother. That really hits home because that could be my mother. “I live in FergusonFlorissant. This is literally my community. To just see his mom crying — that made me cry. That could be my mom, or my aunt crying about my cousin. It hurts me just because it is so close to home.” Brown was shot and killed by a police officer after the officer confronted Brown in the street and Brown allegedly reached into the officer’s vehicle and tried to grab his gun. Brown then ran from the officer, who got out of his car and told Brown to stop. Brown then allegedly turned around and charged at the officer before being shot. Community members, however, claim that Brown was complying with the officer, had his hands up and was surrendering to the officer. In the days following the shooting, details of the incident were not released, causing outrage among Ferguson citizens. The tension built up and protests turned violent on a nightly basis from Aug. 10 to 13. Once again, White had

reason to worry. Her community was looted and vandalized. The local Kwik Trip was burned to the ground. Protesters were shot with rubber bullets and arrested. “Two of my cousins both work at the Wal-Mart that was broken into and he sent me a Snapchat of a video and it was just people rushing in,” White said. “So I called him and he said they were both getting out of there because he was like ‘I’m not staying for this because there is going to be shootings and stuff like that.’ “As soon as they got out of Wal-Mart, that’s when the shooting[s] started happening.” The violence in the days following Brown’s death was largely attributed to the lack of information the police department released, White said. “When the police weren’t giving any answers, I knew something was going to happen,” White said. “The people were already angry and then you’re not giving them answers? You just knew something was going to happen. I knew it would be hell on West Florissant [Street].” Jared Ingram, a sopho-

I was an incoming freshman three years ago and I know you’ve already had a plethora of information thrown at you, ranging from class schedules and CyRide routes to Destination Iowa State and the all-you-can-eat buffet at Union Drive Marketplace. I know the lecture rooms filled to the brim with students in LeBaron or Kildee halls might make you feel like you’re just another lost body among a hundred others. I know about the anxiety of bicyclists flying past you as you listen to your Pandora stations on your way to class. But, as you find your way around campus, finding shortcuts to your classes or realizing when the right and wrong time to go to the Memorial Union for lunch is, life will become a little easier. Your freshman year will be an unforgettable one. It will provide you with memories and relationships you’ll carry with you for the rest of your life. At Iowa State, there is always something going on. From that exciting first week of school to dreaded finals week in May, there’s going to be a lot to take in. Maybe you’ll find yourself at midfield of Jack Trice Stadium after an upset win. Or maybe you’ll find yourself among a band of your housemates, clinching your teeth as you watch another thrilling ISU basketball game. Maybe you’ll find yourself at North Grand Mall, realizing you got on the Blue North bus instead of the Red West. Or perhaps you’ll have that euphoric feeling of relief as you hand in your final paper of the semester. Soon, you’ll find yourself where you belong, whether that’s with the marching band, the Government of the Student Body or working on the solar car in the garage of Sweeney Hall. Without a doubt, you’re in one of the most beautiful places in the nation. This university will teach you more than you can ever imagine, in and out of the classroom. Enjoy your adventure, class of 2018, and welcome to Iowa State University.

VEISHEA

A changing tradition Ames residents feel effects of lost event, plan ‘new’ Veishea By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com The students who witnessed and participated in the riot during Veishea 2014 are now filling the bars and restaurants on Welch and Stanton avenues, where the riot occurred. Many freshmen, who only read about and saw images of the destruction, are being invited to unofficial Veishea events on Facebook for the second week of April in 2015 to replace the 92year tradition. Students, administrators and alumni are asking what happens when the tradition dies but unofficial traditions live on. Tom Hill, senior vice presi-

dent for student affairs, headed the Veishea Task Force and found that the recommendations by both the 1992 and 2004 task forces mirrored the concerns of the 2014 task force. “Both said if it happens again, they should discontinue,” Hill said of the 1992 report. “Well, it happened again. We didn’t discontinue it.” The Veishea Task Force made its recommendation to discontinue the event to President Steven Leath, who announced Aug. 7 his decision to discontinue the event and retire the name. The countless implications of canceling the event — the end of traditional activities with which thousands of alumni identified, the celebration of the university, the loss of scholarships on which some students relied and the end of hands-on professional training for students through the organization

On Aug. 7, President Leath announced that the Veishea name would be retired and Veishea itself discontinued. Ames residents and ISU students both keenly feel the loss of the weeklong event, which has been a mainstay on campus and in Ames for 92 years.

Beloved actor’s legacy contains unknown facets By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com No one expected it from someone who was once voted “funniest man alive.” No one expected Robin Williams, a shy, chubby child turned top comedic actor, to take his own life Aug. 11. Williams was more than an actor. He was also a husband, father, former athlete and a fluent French speaker. Williams’ suicide was a buzz topic to end the summer, creating discussions revolving around mental health, suicide and remembrance of the actor. Here are a few more things you may not have known about the man who was the voice behind the beloved blue genie. 1. Least likely to succeed Williams, born in 1951, graduated from Redwood High School, which is north of San Francisco. He joined the drama club, was involved in theater and ran track. He was also voted “least likely to succeed” by his classmates. In 1973, he was one of 20 freshmen selected to study at The Juilliard School. He also won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in “Good Will Hunting” and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor three times. He received two Emmy Awards, four Golden Globe Awards, five Grammy Awards and two Screen Actors Guild Awards. Before attending The Juilliard School, he played soccer at Claremont Men’s College. 2. Big break His big break came in 1978 when he was cast as an alien on “Happy Days” and later cast as Mork on “Mork & Mindy.” He played

out Mork in three different series: “Happy Days,” “Mork & Mindy” and “Out of the Blue.” Many remember Williams wearing a dress and toting a white wig as Mrs. Doubtfire in 1993, which won the Academy Award for Best Makeup. Williams coproduced the movie, which landed a spot in the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 funniest movies in the 20th century. While working on “Mork & Mindy,” Williams developed a drug and alcohol problem. He faced this for about 20 years. 3. Genie ad-lib Williams ad-libbed 16 hours worth of material for his gig as the Genie in “Aladdin.” He ad-libbed so many of his lines that, according to IMDb, the script was turned down for a Best Adapted Screenplay Academy Award nomination. Williams was also turned down for a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award nomination because he was only the voice of the Genie. About two weeks after his death, the Genie’s songs grew in popularity on the billboard charts. Two of Williams’ songs as the Genie, “Prince Ali” and “Friend Like Me,” re-entered to the top five songs on the kid digital songs chart. 4. Athlete Rewind about 30 years from winning Best Supporting Actor in “Good Will Hunting,” and Williams was a high school track and cross country athlete at Redwood High School in Larkspur, Calif. His time for the 4-x-440 was still the last known record as of 2000, according to highshoolsports. nola.com. Williams is still ranked number seven in the 880-yard run. 5. A family man

Robin Williams, famous actor and stand-up comedian, committed suicide Aug. 11. His death resonated with many people and helped foster a national discussion about suicide, depression and addiction.

Williams was a husband and a father. He, with his first ex-wife Valerie Velardi, welcomed his first child, Zachary Pym Williams, on April 11, 1983, when Williams was 31. Zelda Rae Williams, his second child with second ex-wife Marsha Garces Williams, arrived on July 31, 1989. Cody Alan Williams, born Nov. 25, 1991, was also with Marsha Garces Williams. Williams didn’t have children with his third wife, Susan Schneider. 6. Animal admirer Animals costarred alongside Williams in a number of movies, including “The Crazy Ones,” where he worked with a baby duck, and “Night at the Museum,” where he worked with a capuchin monkey. In addition to working with animals on set, Williams had two dogs, a Boston terrier named Verna Pearl, and Leonard, a pug adopted from a New York animal rescue shelter. Williams also took his love for animals to his diet when he turned vegan and didn’t wear animal products, according to Global Animal. 7. Personal struggles Williams dealt with

addictions to alcohol and drugs starting in the 1980s. He quit using cocaine in 1982 when his first wife was pregnant with their first son. After about 20 years of sobriety, Williams checked himself into rehab to be treated for alcoholism and left rehab in 2006, according to AlcoholismRehab. org. Williams’ representative, Mara Buxbaum, confirmed his death Aug. 11 and said, “[Williams] has been battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.” After the news of Williams’ death, Schneider released a statement saying, “This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken … As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin’s death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions.” For students dealing with depression or thoughts of suicide, contact Student Counseling Services at 294-5056.

order to negotiate more favorable prices for all three regent universities, could save $16 to $40 million in the next 18 to 24 months, according to Deloitte. In June, Deloitte and the board narrowed the 175 money-saving proposals delivered in phase one down to 17 “opportunities” to estimate the impact and effort required to implement the proposals. “What phase two will provide is the opportunity to take a closer look at those areas that were identified in phase one,” said Miles Lackey, Iowa State’s representative to the review committee. Rick Ferraro, the project director for Deloitte Consulting, believes the $1.45 billion fiscal 2015 budget of the regent institutions gives them leverage in negotiating contracts. “Because these three institutions spend so much money, there is a big opportunity to just refine this in the next increment of standardization and cooperation across the system,” Ferraro said. There is some concern about job losses among faculty and staff at the universities as a result of the review. When asked about potential job losses at a public forum in June, Ferraro said that those details had not yet been worked out, but it was unrealistic to expect no adjustment in jobs. “There’s always a possibility of that, to be perfectly honest,” Ferraro said. Phase three of the review is going to include the designing, testing and launching of all of the improvements the board approves. Phase three was scheduled to be completed in December but is now subject to delay because of KH Consulting’s scheduling conflict. The Board of Regents is scheduled to meet again Sept. 10 at Iowa State.

Iowa Board of Regents officials announced last week that the academic review portion of its Transparent, Inclusive Efficiency Review will be slowed down to give the board more time to collect feedback from faculty and staff. Deloitte Consulting was hired by the board in February to perform a comprehensive review of institutional resources, costs and efficiencies at the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa, Iowa’s three regent institutions. Due to the delay, a scheduling conflict has occurred with KH Consulting, the firm contracted by Deloitte to review academic efficiency. This portion of the review was scheduled to be completed in December, but that date may now change. “It’s our understanding this [review] will be delayed temporarily,” said Janeane Beck, a spokeswoman for the board. According to Beck, Deloitte is currently searching for another firm to conduct the academic portion of the review. The review could save the regent universities between $30 and $80 million annually once the new measures are fully implemented, according to Deloitte. The Board of Regents originally hired Deloitte for $2.45 million but agreed to pay an additional $867,955 in June to supplement the study. The efficiency review, currently in phase two of three, is implementing “business cases” to determine the longterm viability of some of Deloitte’s proposals.

ISU Dining replaces punch cards with daily drink deals By Dalton.Bergan @iowastatedaily.com Coffee drinkers on campus should look for a new rewards system from the campus cafes. As of Aug. 10, all of the on-campus cafes feature a new beverage rewards program that offers special deals on Mondays and Fridays of every week. The previous program was a beverage club cards system. Before the card program ended, students with beverage club cards could get a punch on their cards for every drink they purchased and would get a free drink after getting nine punches. “Any student could participate as long as they had their card,” said Selena Woodson, student manager of the Memorial Union Market & Cafe. “Any card would work at any

store, so you could use it anywhere you wanted.” As of the switch on Aug. 10, all cards and unredeemed punches are void, meaning they can no longer be used when purchasing beverages. “We still have a lot of customers that come in and bring their red cards thinking that it’s still going on and then get really upset,” Woodson said. “Then we have conversations back and forth with customers about the negatives and positives of [the new program].” Instead of using cards and punches to reward students, the new program just offers special deals every Monday and Friday to anyone interested. “You can get a 16-ounce coffee for $1 on Mondays and then a dollar off specialty drinks on Fridays,” said Brittney Rutherford of Dining Services.

The beverage club card program required customers to have their card on them in order to get rewarded, which often caused problems when customers forgot or couldn’t find their cards when checking out at the register. “It would slow down lines because sometimes people wouldn’t know where their card was. They would check their bag and then check their wallet and sometimes realize they don’t have it,” Woodson said. “It just created a lot of hassle, so I can see why they switched.” With the new deals on Monday and Friday, customers are no longer required to carry anything on them to get rewarded. Anyone buying a qualifying beverage will be automatically given the discount upon checkout. “I feel like right now it’s still in its trial phase,”

Tiffany Herring/Iowa State Daily

Hawthorne Cafe is one of the nine cafes on campus that changed its coffee rewards program Aug. 10. ISU Dining is switching from “buy nine, get one free” punch cards to daily drink specials on Mondays and Fridays.

Woodson said. “I see the negatives and positives of both, so I try to explain that to the customers. I think because it’s just starting, they’re not really used to it.” A total of nine locations will be participating in the drink deals program, including all eight on-campus cafes as well as the Starbucks

in the Frederiksen Court Community Center. Caribou Coffee is not taking part in the program, so students should note that these deals won’t be available in the Hub. “I think the biggest thing for us this fall is going to be awareness,” Rutherford said. “We’ll see — once that awareness is built — if people actually

like it or if customers liked the old way or have new suggestions.” Student feedback is encouraged and any students with suggestions can contact ISU Dining via Twitter, phone or email. “It will be interesting to see what students think of it this fall,” Rutherford said. “For us, it was time to try something different.”

Swanson, Veishea’s official mascot, rides in a car during the Veishea parade April 20, 2013. On Aug. 7, 2014, President Steven Leath announced that he was discontinuing Veishea. His decision was in response to student riots that occurred in April.

We killed

Veishea Let’s go back to 1922. It is May and the first Veishea is in full swing. There is a weekend full of events and activities to celebrate Iowa State’s colleges and their accomplishments. Fast forward to 1988, where the mentality of students on campus became more focused on drinking and less focused on what Veishea was supposed to be — so much so that during the Veishea of ‘88, riots broke out. The riots of 1988 may have been the first, but they were definitely not the last. Riots followed in 1992, 1994 and 2004. In 2005, Veishea was canceled but sprang to life again in 2006. After being generally problem-free for 10 years, we came back in full force, rioting again during the 2014 Veishea. What many students weren’t thinking about was the fact that this would be the last Veishea to ever happen at Iowa State. We murdered a 92year tradition. Many people are upset about President Steven Leath’s final decision to end Veishea, but we really have no one to blame but ourselves when looking at the whole picture. The traditions of Veishea when they first began did not

revolve around drinking, but somewhere through the years drinking became more important to students than what Veishea actually represented: A celebration of education. Drinking and drug use is common among college students, but when did it become our first priority? In recent years, the number of college students who participate in binge drinking has spiked significantly. Binge drinking could lead to violence, including sexual assaults, alcohol overdoses and poor academic performance. Looking back on the 2014 Veishea celebration, it is easy to see how drinking was a big factor in causing the riots. Four out of five students drink in college, half of which are binge drinkers, according to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Alcoholism and binge drinking is responsible for 150,000 annual health problems in college students and 1,825 deaths of 18- to 24-yearolds per year. Students at school are under plenty of stress from professors, friends and family to perform at their full potential. In many cases, students get overloaded

with busy schedules and decide to use alcohol as a way of relaxing on the weekends. It seems clear that the social stigma of drinking in college makes you “cool” when in reality it could be causing more problems in our lives than actually helping. We aren’t preaching to you to tell you to stop drinking. After all, this is college and it is not unreasonable to want to have a drink with some friends after a long day of classes. What we are saying is we should act like the adults we are supposed to be when we do drink. Students were the bloodline of Veishea; students created the event and when students got drunk and rioted, we poisoned it with alcohol and killed it. Drinking is not going anywhere — people have been drinking for years. What needs to change is the way people act when they are drinking. Drinking responsibly is part of what is expected of us as adults. Therefore, when Veishea is taken away because students could not behave themselves under the effects of alcohol, we have to take the consequences. Last year, the major consequence of irresponsible

drinking was the loss of Veishea. A reflection on our attitudes of that night and how it felt the next day while walking on campus knowing that our prized tradition was going to be under fire is necessary. We have already laid one tradition to rest this year — we should do our best to keep from drinking any more of Iowa State’s traditions to death.

Find ways to raise ALS awareness as college students By Kasey.Mueller @iowastatedaily.com

he Internet has recently found a new sensation — the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The challenge has not only created a significant increase in donations but has also helped raise awareness of ALS. ALS stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. ALS is a lethal neurodegenerative disease that causes motor neurons to die, which leads to loss of control of muscle movement. There is currently no cure for ALS, nor is there any treatment available to reverse the effects of the disease. According to the ALS Association website, however, there is one Food and Drug Administrationapproved drug available that helps slow the progression of the disease. So where did the connection between the challenge and ALS fundraising happen? ESPN reports that Pete Frates of Boston is “credited with creating the challenge along with friend and fellow ALS patient Pat Quinn.” In spring 2012, Frates, a former Boston College baseball player, was diagnosed with ALS and decided to take action. In summer 2014, Frates took to Facebook, nominating friends to take a video of themselves pouring a bucket of ice water on their

heads and post it on social media as a means to raise awareness. The rules of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge are as follows: upon nomination, people have 24 hours to douse themselves with a bucket of ice water. If they fail to complete the challenge, they donate $100 to an ALS charity. The videos soon caught the attention of athletes all over the Boston area. Eventually, athletes all over the nation began participating in the challenge. The challenge initially was a gesture to raise awareness and quickly became a fundraiser. The movement did not end with athletes, however. It seemed as if countless actors, actresses, writers, musicians, politicians, billionaires and everyday folk alike were posting videos for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge overnight. With the vast increase of popularity among the videos, it was clear that people were dumping the water on their heads. But a dumped bucket was the way to opt out on donations. Because of that, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge started to gain a lot of disapproval as well. It is however a misconception that people continue participating without donating. Frates did not start the challenge with the donation clause attached. The donation aspect was added on somewhere down the line and that rule stuck. Celebrities like Zachary

Quinto, Taylor Swift, Carey Hart and Troian Bellisario have spoken out about the necessity to donate as well. Swift completed the challenge while also donating $100 on her behalf as well as $100 each for all the people participating in her video. Hart commented on his Instagram that he took the donation route, saving the water. Since California is in the middle of a drought, Bellisario not only participated but also had a tip for future participants — share your water. She went on to nominate three others, including Quinto. Quinto went one step further than Bellisario by donating instead of participating. He wrote on his Instagram, “in light of the staggering drought in California and the desperate need for clean drinking water in developing countries, I opt for donating directly to project ALS in lieu of an ice bucket challenge.” New trends regarding the challenge are forming daily. However, the donations are coming in as well. The New York Times wrote that the ALS Association “had received $41.8 million in donations from July 29 until Aug. 21.” The Times further stated that with the 739,000 new donors, contributions from July and August alone are “more than double the $19.4 million in total contributions the association received during the year that ended Jan. 31, 2013.” Personally, I have seen

my peers start the challenge within the past couple of days. It is discouraging but understanding to hear people so happily pour the bucket instead of donating the $100. Being college students, we are not always fiscally able to donate $100 when that money is needed for books, groceries or rent. However, I urge my fellow peers to take action another way. The challenge has been evolving, so why not have a different option for college students? I propose that we not only participate but also fully educate ourselves on the cause. Learn about the disease, donate that $5 sitting on your dresser, go door-todoor canning for donations. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge began with hopes of widespread awareness and that’s the least we can do. Whether you donate more or less than the $100, drench yourself in freezing water or donate and participate, there is a lot you can do for very little. The key is to get moving.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Guenther fuels ‘hate’ hypocrisy Robert Dunn, senior in pre-business As someone who attended this year’s Family Leadership Summit at Stephens Auditorium, I must inform Daily readers that Adam Guenther in his letter is propagating lies about the event. First, the event was not paid for by Iowa State or tax payer dollars. People who wanted to attend paid money out of their own pockets. There was no “hate” being preached. While the speakers and people who attended may disagree with redefining marriage by judicial

fiat, “hate” was nowhere to be seen. The only hate being spewed is from the radical LGBT activists such as Guenther. As someone who is a conservative Christian and has a gay relative, I don’t harbor any hate toward those who are LGBT. I believe and support the LGBT community’s right to exist and speak its mind. It is sad that the other side of the marriage debate wants to silence and criminalize those who have a different view. No one was forced to attend or pay for the event. On the other hand, our tuition and fee money goes to fund the

Office of LGBT Student Services and no student has a choice to opt out if paying for this office violates their conscience or convictions. I am tired of the hypocrisy. Conservative and Christian groups on campus don’t go around demanding that other views be silenced on campus that they disagree with. We are not the ones bullying or intimidating anyone. It is only the radical leftists on campus that are acting like censorious Nazis. I encourage the ISU community to hold the ideals of what an institution of higher learning is supposed to be.

Freshman outside hitter/middle blocker Alexis Conaway goes for a kill during the Cardinal and Gold Scrimmage on Saturday. She had 14 kills and a .667 hitting percentage for the scrimmage.

Cyclones show strong offense Volleyball newcomers hit it big at scrimmage By Harrison.March @iowastatedaily.com S a t u r d a y s ’s Cardinal and Gold Volleyball Scrimmage was loaded with impressive performances from a variety of Cyclones, both old and new. Familiar ISU faces like former American Volleyball Coaches Association All-American Honorable Mention

selections Mackenzie Bigbee and Victoria Hurtt along with sophomore Ciara Capezio combined for 50 of the match’s 116 kills. While the offensive prowess was certainly on display, the Cardinal and Gold teams also tallied 10 blocks, something on which the Cyclones have recently placed emphasis. “We played at a really high level,” Capezio said. “We’ve been working on our blocking these last two weeks and I think it showed a lot. I still need to work on it, but I think as a team it’s gotten so much better and we can

still take it to the next level.” Sophomore transfer Suzanne Horner, who had a promising start to her ISU career in the spring exhibition season, racked up 15 digs and a match-high 48 assists. “I started off with a couple of nerves, but once those settled it was a lot of fun getting to know what the atmosphere is going to be like in [Hilton Coliseum],” Horner said. “It was more of a real match setting, so it was good.” Freshman Alexis Conaway also turned heads, totaling 14 kills and a .667 hitting percentage. Conaway,

like most players on the team, rotated with both the Cardinal and Gold squads in the scrimmage. In her time spent on the Cardinal side of the net, she converted nine kills on nine attempts. Though the Orange City, Iowa, native has yet to see collegiate competition, head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch is happy with how Conaway is playing in the preseason. “She had a couple ‘wow’ moments,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I didn’t know how she would do her first time out, but I thought she stepped it up.”

As for which newly-enlisted player made the biggest splash, JohnsonLynch gave the nod to the freshman hitter/ blocker. “Alexis Conaway would be the one that stands out,” JohnsonLynch said. “You don’t even really have to know our team to be impressed with her athleticism. You can just watch her and be pretty impressed with some of the things she does. I think she made a pretty good case for herself today.” Though questions on how to replace last year’s seniors loomed in the offseason, JohnsonLynch and the ISU

volleyball team seem to have found a groove heading into the regular season. “I thought it was a pretty high level of play on both sides,” Johnson-Lynch said. “It was just good volleyball. Some years you come in here and it’s not very good volleyball that first match of the year, so I enjoyed seeing that.” The ISU volleyball team begins its regular season Friday when it plays host to No. 3 Stanford. The Cyclones will then have a Sunday showdown with No. 13 Florida State at Hilton Coliseum as part of the AVCA Showcase.

Volleyball focuses on communication By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com One thing ISU volleyball and head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch want to avoid this upcoming season is a failure to communicate. “Volleyball is one of the few sports where the ball never stops moving. You only get to stop it when you go to serve, otherwise the ball is moving, so communication is key,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I think communication before and after the play is just as important as communication during the play.” The Cyclones often use short hand to describe what they are seeing across the net, be it the opposing hitters tendencies or reading the court and deciding which blocking scheme to implement. As a setter, a heavy portion of the communicative burden falls on the shoulders of sophomore transfer Suzanne Horner. Horner talked about its multiple facets on the court, including sending clear messages to her teammates while at the same time sending mixed messages to the other side of the net. “As a setter, I commu-

nicate with my hitters on what I want them to hit,” Horner said. “There are so many different sets in volleyball and my job is to tell each hitter what they are going to hit so we can kind of psyche out the other team, so they are not sure quite where we are going.” Not all of the interaction is verbal, however, as Horner said sign language is also an important aspect of implementing strategy mid-set. “We have hand signals for all of our sets,” Horner said. “Whenever we send signals we try to make sure [our opponents] do not see it. We send a lot of signals behind our backs.” Horner added that occasionally, covert precautions must be foregone and complete clarity allowed to prevail. “Sometimes, you just [have] to say it so everybody knows,” Horner said. “The other team is doing the same thing, so you can pick little things up but you try to give away as little as possible.” During the preseason, as freshman arrive and new players find themselves in the rotation, communication plays a key role in teammates familiarizing themselves with one another while defining their roles.

Ryan Young/Iowa State Daily

Sophomore outside hitter Ciara Capezio attacks the ball during the Cardinal and Gold Scrimmage on Saturday. Capezio, along with her teammates Mackenzie Bigbee and Victoria Hurtt, had 50 kills. Head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said that she was happy with the level of play from her team.

“It is very easy to be timid…when you are a freshman and you do not know anyone. That is not a good excuse but it is a reality,” said sophomore Ciara Capezio, who dealt with the pressure of being a newcomer in 2013. “But if you come in and talk, it

does not really matter what you say. It just helps everyone else know that you know what is going on and makes it easier for everyone else.” Johnson-Lynch said that good examples of vocal leaders on the team are senior Victoria Hurtt,

junior Caitlin Nolan and sophomore Natalie Vondrak, who derive their verbal nature from a deepseeded competitiveness. Throughout the year, that competitive and chatty nature may spread to some of those Cyclones who are less verbally inclined.

“It is hard to be a really quiet team, and we have some players who are pretty quiet,” JohnsonLynch said. “But we have enough that are vocal to offset that balance. I think, overall, it is a pretty good team in terms of the way we communicate.”

ISU football readies for season opener By Beau.Berkley @iowastatedaily.com With the end of fall camp and the regular season now underway, the ISU football team has set its sights on its first nonconference game. And it won’t exactly be a “gimme.” North Dakota State is the first team on Iowa State’s schedule and the Football Championship Subdivision powerhouse will look to continue its current winning streak against bigger programs. The Bison have defeated four straight Football Bowl Subdivision opponents since 2010, most notably defeating Kansas State in Manhattan to kick off the 2013 season. However, the Bison have lost 24 seniors to graduation and coach Craig Bohl left for the head

coaching gig at Wyoming, opening the door for Chris Klieman, who had served under Bohl as the defensive coordinator. “They cover the whole field, they play run support as well as anybody, they’re a good, well-coached unit,” said Mark Mangino, the Iowa State offensive coordinator. Mangino said that in the course of fall camp and now in preparation for North Dakota State, his offense has picked up on some of the nuances of his system that they didn’t grasp in the spring — even if it was just improving its general knowledge of the system and fundamentals. “I like the progress of our offense as a whole,” Mangino said. “There’s not a part of our team that isn’t lightyears ahead of where we were at the end of spring. We’ve made improvement in every area — there’s no question about that — but we understand we still have a lot of work to do.” While Mangino will be polishing the offense this week before the season opener, Wally Burnham, Iowa State’s defensive coordinator, will be looking to shore up a few things in the defensive secondary. Burnham said most of the mistakes made in the secondary during fall camp come from lack of experience and reps, like problems reading the offense and changing coverage prior to the snap as well as communicating down to the linebackers. “Understanding and the knowledge and having enough reps to see back there and making the right checks in the coverage and letting the linebackers know that they’re changing coverage,” Burnham said of the mistakes. Burnham also said that Brandon Jensen and Devlyn Cousin would be occupying the tackle positions up front. Iowa State plays North Dakota State at 11 a.m. Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium.

more in kinesiology and health and fellow ISU track and field member, spent the first 18 years of his life in Ferguson before moving to Ames for college. Ingram was in Ferguson when the rioting took place. Both Ingram and White repeatedly stressed that the rioting, looting and vandalizing were done by the minority. The vast majority of protesters were peaceful, they said. “Some people weren’t really protesting. Some people took advantage of the situation and looted and stuff … but those weren’t necessarily protesters,” Ingram said. “As soon as the looting started and the media started reporting on it, other people watching at home saw that and started to try to take advantage of the situation and steal stuff because the police weren’t really able to do anything at that point.” Ferguson police responded to the violence with force. On a nightly basis, Ferguson police were spotted with armored vehicles and automatic weapons throughout Ferguson. Video coverage of the protesting that circulated throughout social media proved that, at least on occasion, peaceful protesters were shot with rubber bullets and had tear gas canisters thrown at them. “The protesting was very peaceful. Obviously it was disruptive because that’s what protesting is supposed to be. It’s supposed to get attention and make our voices be heard,” Ingram said. “The police were like militarized, like a SWAT team. They had automatic weapons pointed at civilians and that really made people angry. There’s no reason for an automatic weapon to be in the face of a peaceful protester.” Ingram and White both feel that the police presence amped up the

VEISHEA p1 committees — are not lost on the president or the university. The problem, Hill continued to say, was that the focus of Veishea had shifted from celebrating the university to entertaining students. “On the one hand, you have the official Veishea, which is the activity that people love and revere. It’s all good,” Hill said. “Then you have the unofficial Veishea that does virtually everything that’s not good. You can’t separate them. That’s what those reports underscored to me.” However, Hill said he realizes that the unofficial events centered on beer bongs, house parties and binge drinking will not fall by the wayside. “It’s common in higher education all over the country today,” Hill said about party culture. “That leads to violence, increased incidents of sexual assault, a number of things. That’s one of the top concerns on college campuses today.” Katie Allen, junior in mathematics, reinforced Hill’s point that the focus of Veishea had become less about the university and more about a culture of partying and entertainment.

tension and believe that was a major reason for why violence broke out. “I think the night[s] of the violent protests, people were scared. People had guns pointed at them and rubber bullets were being shot,” Ingram said. “People were scared and felt like our rights were being taken away.” The Ferguson police claimed the use of force was warranted, because of the fact that some protests had been violent. White and Ingram said that even when protests were peaceful, the protests were dispersed by unwarranted force. “People were peacefully protesting and [the police] have riot gear and guns pointed at them,” White said. “Police are supposed to protect and serve and at this point they’re not protecting us. It’s hard to trust the police to protect you when you have an unarmed man being killed.” The violence that occurred in Ferguson became major news across the country. Issues of racism, police brutality and prejudice were debated by political pundits across the country. The happenings in Ferguson dominated the news cycle. “I really agree with the ‘no justice, no peace’ saying because something had to be done,” White said. “And although I don’t agree with the violence, I feel like if that wouldn’t have happened, then [Brown’s death] wouldn’t be getting the attention that it has gotten.” On Aug. 14, five days after Brown was killed, both Ingram and White joined protests in downtown St. Louis by the Gateway Arch and later that night on West Florissant Street, where some of the rioting had occurred. White was in a group text message with friends asking if anybody would be interested in joining the protests with her. White also texted Ingram

and invited him to join. “I wanted to go and protest because our voices have to be heard,” White said. “I just can’t sit by and let it happen. If I just sit by and let something happen, it’s like I don’t care. And I care a lot, so we got a group to meet up and we went to protest.” Though violence had broken out the previous four nights between the police and protesters, Ingram and White still wanted to be a part of the protest. They knew it could potentially be dangerous, but they decided it was worth the risk. Fortunately, for the first time in four nights, violence did not break out between the police and civilians. “Everybody was so close and we were able to come together for a good cause and try to make a difference,” Ingram said. “People were very much still mad and upset about what happened, but we were happy that we were able to come together and weren’t denied our right to peacefully protest. It was important to me, since it was so close to home, to go out and support [Brown’s] family and be a part of the community effort.” Both Ingram and White have now returned to Ames in preparation for the fall semester, but both are still searching for answers. The main question on their minds is why more information has not been released about Brown’s death. “To us, the evidence is there ... especially, when he was shot at least six times,” White said. “That’s not something that should happen to an unarmed man.” Ingram was also clear on his stance on Brown’s death. “What that officer did, in my mind, is a crime,” Ingram said. “It was force that did not need to be used. He murdered somebody’s child.” While both Ingram and White took issue with

the police’s procedure following Brown’s death as well as with the rioting procedure, they also both took offense to their hometown area’s portrayal in the media. In their view, they felt like Ferguson was being portrayed as a violent neighborhood. They felt the media gave people the wrong impression of what Ferguson is normally like. “It was weird coming [back to Ames] because a lot of people either don’t know what’s going on [in Ferguson] or jumped to conclusions. I’ve heard things that are completely false testimonies based on what they thought they heard on the news, and that’s really frustrating just because it reflects poorly on where I grew up,” Ingram said. “That’s my home.” Both White and Ingram repeatedly stated that Ferguson is not a violent area. Being from the St. Louis area, they both admitted that crime is present, but they said that Ferguson has never been a violent neighborhood. “This is the town where I’ve grown up in. I’ve lived here all 18 years of my life before college. I’ve never been assaulted. I’ve never had a gun pointed at me. I’ve never been robbed. I’ve never gotten in a fight,” Ingram said. “Ferguson has always been a safe place to live.” But in the days since Brown’s death, Ferguson has not been a safe place to live. The protesting continues, and Ingram said he thinks protesting will continue until the situation is resolved. whenever “Usually something like this happens, it’s big for awhile and then you won’t hear about the trial until a year later, and by that time people are just kind of tired by it,” Ingram said. “I think people got fed up with that, so [the people of Ferguson] refuse to stop until we get answers and we get justice.”

“My parents went here and it wasn’t a big deal because they were all legal to drink. I think alcohol’s always been a factor because it’s illegal now,” Allen said. “It was almost 100 years old. What’s the problem now? My parents went here in the ‘70s. It was a drinking problem then, it’s a drinking problem now.” Following the 2004 riot, then President Gregory Geoffroy canceled the 2005 events, putting Veishea on a somewhat probationary period. In 2014, the 10-year anniversary of the 2004 riot, festivities got out of hand as early as Tuesday night without the usual out-oftown celebrators. “I know there’s been riots before, but obviously we’re not going to be that crazy next year if it continues,” Allen said. “We made it 10 more years, and we made it 10 years without anything happening.” Allen said instead of canceling the tradition, the university should have focused on teaching students how to recognize when a situation gets out of hand and the warning signs of a riot. Students should also realize that simply being in the crowd amplifies the situation. Sydney Weis, freshman in animal science,

said she had the opportunity to participate in Veishea activities before but had still looked forward to enjoying it as a student. “I’m upset because it’s a school tradition and I’m never going to be able to experience it [as a student],” Weis said. “I think it kind of just got blown out of proportion. It was something I was looking forward to.” The unofficial traditions already thrive on social media with students and companies planning activities — some centered on alcohol and parties, some traditional. “It’s unfortunate, but you have to expect that,” Hill said. “You’ve got something that’s been eliminated that a segment of the population really enjoyed. There’s nothing at this point in time that’s been designated to replace it, so there’s that vacuum.” “I’ll definitely participate, but I don’t think it’s going to be a problem,” Allen said of the events. Despite Allen’s prediction, Hill said the collaboration between administrators and Ames city officials will still be strong throughout the year. “Something’s going to happen, either planned

or unplanned … or both,” Hill said. “I’d like to think we will get involved in having something that will be planned and sanctioned by the university during that time.” After his Aug. 7 decision, President Leath said any events planned by the university will have a clear focus, not a weeklong celebration that leads to a lot of hype. “I think our major focus would be on students and activities that they can engage in without having that risky behavior associated with it,” Hill said. “Whether or not we do something that would try to appeal to alumni and others at the same time is yet to be determined. When you start trying to pull all those big entities together, that’s when you lose focus and get these big events. That draws the folks you want to draw and the folks you don’t want to draw.” The important thing, Hill said, is to not rush planning of events for this year. Any event planned may lose focus and create an opportunity for other risky behaviors. As for students planning to put on events like the Veishea parade again this spring, Hill said plan away, as long as it does not focus on risky behaviors.
