ISU athletic director Jamie Pollard said he was surprised by the Review Board’s decision, but is glad it did not add more confusion to an “already confused marketplace.”

No unions for college athletes

NLRB buries unionization at Northwestern, decides not to assert jurisdiction By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com Per a decision by the National Labor Relations (NLRB) Review Board, Northwestern will not serve as the formative grounds for unionization in college sports, and it appears that the issue has been essentially laid to rest. Last year, the College Athletes Players Association (CAPA), in conjunction with Northwestern football players, delivered the first blow to the NCAA and its member universities in what had potential to evolve into a multi-year power struggle — one that could have reshaped college athletics forever. The NLRB regional director on May 26, 2014, deemed Wildcat football players as employees of the private university who had the right to unionize, an unprecedented decision. But on Aug. 17, 2015, the NLRB Review Board, which handled Northwestern’s appeal of the director’s ruling, chose not to assert jurisdiction. The fivemember panel’s unanimous decision amounted to anything but, as it declined to support or overturn the ruling, instead opting to do nothing at all. The consequences? That the paradigm and power structure of the NCAA will remain the same as they have always been for student athletes at universities public or private. “In the decision, the Board held that asserting jurisdiction

would not promote labor stability due to the nature and structure of NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS),” the NLRB wrote in its decision. “By statute the Board does not have jurisdiction over state-run colleges and universities, which constitute 108 of the roughly 125 FBS teams. The Board held that asserting jurisdiction over a single team would not promote stability in labor relations across the league.” The Board touched several times on the idea of “labor stability.” A cornerstone element of that notion is competitive balance — creating a fair and competitive atmosphere to promote fan interest. “Competitive equality doesn’t exist right now, and we have data to support that,” Ramogi Human, CAPA president and a former linebacker at UCLA, told ESPN’s Outside the Lines. “To use a hollow argument to deny players equal protection under the law is disappointing.” Revenue generated from athletics ranges sharply from one university to the next. Per a USA Today financial report, Texas generated nearly $93 million more in revenue than Iowa State last year. “I think you have to define competitive balance. Life is not perfect and life will never be equal. You hope life is fair,” said ISU athletic director Jamie Pollard. “I’m not ready to say (unionization) would have been an advantage because it would

have been a mess trying to figure it out.” Ramifications Had the Board upheld its director’s initial ruling, the argument would likely have made its way into the legal system and from there, the ruling would have been appealed up the chain. Had the decision held through that legal process, the end game — allowing student athletes at private universities a vote on whether or not to unionize — would have become reality. The Board did add that its decision not to assert jurisdiction on the matter does not preclude its revisiting of the issue in the future. Even if the Board had ruled in support of the director, the result would not necessarily have manifested in changes for players at public universities like Iowa State. State institutions are subject to the labor legislation enacted by their home state, vastly complicating the issue of the unionization of college athletes and making it an unlikely proposition. But that doesn’t mean athletic directors of state schools weren’t keenly interested parties to a debate that has in large part defined a generation of college sport in social and political contexts. “I don’t know if anything is ever put to rest. It’s an area right now that just has a lot of tentacles for people to get in under the hood and cause problems,” Pollard said.

“The decision surprised me, but I’m glad they did it, because I think (unionization) would have just caused more confusion in an already confused marketplace.” State of the student-athlete Pollard said he hasn’t sensed “a growing angst” among student athletes that they’re being taken advantage of, even despite being denied any financial gain beyond a scholarship from the multi-billion dollar business constructed atop the foundation of their athletic prowess. A recent ISU football transfer agreed. “I think Division I players today get a little beside themselves and don’t realize what we really got that other people don’t have,” said linebacker Jordan Harris, who arrived at Iowa State in advance of last season by way of Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Mississippi. An argument can be made that players like Harris may fear speaking out on the topic, stigmatizing themselves with coaches and administrators as ungrateful or petulant. To do so could theoretically damage their prospects on the only platform that exists for them to showcase their talent to professional leagues. But Pollard doesn’t believe fear plays as a motivator whatsoever in the relative silence he’s observed on the topic. “We have anonymous evaluations,” Pollard said. “There are some wild things that get said in

Student Government approved a bill that funded more than $100,000 to Iowa State University’s Student Loan Education Office during Wednesday’s Senate meeting. With a vote of 32 to 0, the Senate passed a bill that funded $116,821.87 to the Student Loan Education Office. The bill, which was waved through readings and immediately into a discussion and vote, provided funding for the Student Loan Education Office on campus. The office provides information and services on all things loan related for students at ISU, due to the increasing student debt in the country. Speaker of the Senate Ben Crawford said the office was funded last year and previous administration was to create a three-year contract. However, President Dan Breitbarth said the order to fund the office was missed sometime in the transition period from last year to this year. “[The] university put us between a rock and a hard place because their lack of efficiency fell until the middle of the summer,” Breitbarth said. Breitbarth said he had been notified of the situation on June 30. Despite the setback, the office was operational and will continue to operate as the semester begins. The funding for the education office also included funding employee salaries. Breitbarth said the bill was urgent because people were relying on that legislation for their livelihood. “Over the next month and a half, we’ll be working diligently to figure out long-term plans,” Breitbarth said. “We’re student senators discussing this. As students, should we really fund people’s livelihoods?” Sen. Danielle Nygard expressed concern as to why the bill hadn’t gone through Finance Committee. “I would love to have Finance Committee to have an official recommendation on this,” Nygard said. Vice Speaker Michael Snook said this had been discussed by Finance Committee previously. “My understanding, we did account for this amount of money in the recurring obligations account,” Snook said. “There’s no need to go through Finance Committee.” The Senate also made an amendment to the constitution, which states “the president of

Cyclones for O’Malley rally in Ames By Shannon.McCarty @iowastatedaily.com Cyclones for Martin O’Malley gathered at Stomping Grounds to encourage students to caucus for the former Maryland governor, and to come back on Saturday to attend a meet and greet with the presidential candidate. O’Malley announced his candidacy back in May, and is one of five 2016 presidential candidates for the Democratic party. Former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, has been the frontrunner for Democrats in various polls with Vermont Senator, Bernie Sanders, in second. The event was one of thirty statewide house parties in support of O’Malley. The focus of the meetings was the candidate’s 15 goals to rebuild the American

dream. Although O’Malley was not present, he called into the 30 parties to encourage supporters to attend the caucus, and to thank them for helping his campaign. “Together we can pursue the rebuilding of the American Dream,” O’Malley said. Some of O’Malley’s goals to help rebuild the American dream include: reform the criminal justice system, ensure college students can graduate debt free within five years, and cut youth unemployment by 50 percent in three years. Evan Abramsky, junior in political science, hosted the event. Abramsky is the president of Cyclones for Martin O’Malley. Abramsky said he was originally a Sanders supporter, but after working for his campaign for about two weeks he changed

his mind. “He was making a lot of promises,” Abramsky said. Abramsky said Sanders’s didn’t have any plans to fulfill his promises, and his plans were unrealistic. “Students need to really think about who they’re voting for,” Abramsky said. He said O’Malley’s goals on education are much more feasible than Sanders’s free college proposal. Abramsky is confident once the caucus and election get closer students will become more and more involved. “We got six months till the caucus, and more than a year till the election,” Abramsky said. College students have been known to not show up at voting booths. According to The

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton told attendees at a speech in Ankeny that for prosperity to be real and lasting, it has to take place in small towns and rural areas across the country.

Clinton: Invest in rural communities By Mitchel.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton formally announced her plan for rural policy in America on Wednesday during her third visit to Des Moines Area Community College in Ankeny. “I believe America depends on small rural communities,” Clinton said,

shortly after taking the stage. “For prosperity to be real and lasting, it has to take root right here in Iowa and in small towns and rural areas across the country.” Clinton’s “plan for a vibrant rural America” lays out four key areas she wants to focus on, including investments in the rural economy, raising profitability for family farms, promoting clean energy

leadership, and expanding overall opportunity in rural America. For investing in rural economy, Clinton’s plan includes increasing the number of Rural Business Investment Companies and increasing tax credits for low-income communities. She said the cause was one she had championed in the past. “More than 25 percent

of children in rural America are growing up in poverty,” Clinton said.”In many places, you might have to drive for hours to find a quality, affordable health care provider.” A 2004 report by the University of New Hampshire Scholars’ Repository reaffirms Clinton’s assertion that 25 percent of rural children are poor. Clinton also cast support for Obama’s proposal

to make community college tuition-free. “This community college is a model for the kind of excellent education that should be available to everyone,” Clinton said, who added her plan to offer refinance to all the student debt already affecting students. Tom Vilsack, former Iowa governor and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture who endorsed Clinton on

Tuesday, introduced her. “I like the idea that I have a presidential candidate that I support that listens and comes up with a plan to extend services to people in need,” Vilsack said. “This is a person who is rooted in the middle class. “She’s never left the middle class in terms of her values and concerns.” Clinton made two more stops Wednesday.

Transportation plan focuses on efficiency By Mitchel.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com A plan aimed at facilitating more efficient transportation for Ames residents was presented before the Ames City Council at its biweekly meeting Tuesday night. Dubbed “Ames Mobility 2040,” the new transportation plan is a project that was spearheaded by The Ames Area Metropolitan Planning Organization. According to the plan’s executive summary, Ames Mobility 2040 is a 25-year plan aimed at developing an “integrated intermodal transportation system that facilitates the efficient movement of people and goods.” Ames Mobility 2040 is to be a collection of policies, programs and projects that are reasonably spread out over the next several years. “There’s a lot of projects we went through. We looked through almost 100 projects,” said Jason Carbee,

transportation planner for the city of Ames. The first planning stage of Ames Mobility 2040 included community vision, environmental screening, travel demand studies and cost estimates that all included some sort of vision and data collecting. Planners used several sets of data in this stage, including mobile phone location data. Damion Pregitzer, a city traffic engineer, said the data analysis company AirSage provided high-level analysis from anonymous cell phone time stamp data to use along with actual traffic counts in the Ames area. This data helped the city analyze when people were commuting, where they were commuting and how long their commute times were. Pregitzer also said the time stamp data must be taken into consideration carefully since the established “home” area is often directly on campus for ISU students.

Ames Mobility 2040 was presented to the City Council on Tuesday. The transportation plan is aimed at developing an “integrated intermodal transportation system that facilitates the efficient movement of people and goods.”

The second phase of the plan included community input and technical analysis. The population within the planning group area is expected to grow by 35 percent during the next 25 years, and the area employment is expected to grow by 39

percent. Growth forecasts such as these were used to shape the extent of the plan. The third phase, which was called the alternative assessment stage, included discussing the other options for each project, policy or program that may exist. The

‘T’ in LGBT finally gets what it deserves

Matthew Rezab/Iowa State Daily

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is an example of personality getting in the way of issues. Columnist Khayree Fitten asks students not to focus on candidates or a particular party but to focus on platforms.

Pay attention to the

POLITICS, not just the party Issues candidates stand for trump their popularity By Khayree.Fitten @iowastatedaily.com

ccording to the Huffington Post’s Bill Schneider, “Voters don’t support a party simply because they like its policies. They support a party because of who they [the politicians] are.” This is a natural possibility that those watching the 2016 campaign have been concerned about; what with personalities and controversies coming from candidates who have made a real effort to showcase personas ahead of their policies. This sentiment was well articulated by David Plouffe, the 2008 Obama for America campaign manager, “If you run a campaign trying to appeal to 60-70 percent of the electorate, you’re not going to run a very compelling campaign for the voters you need.” Therefore, it is not surprising that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker are partisan equivalents who have decided to run campaigns grounded in appealing to their base constituencies instead of appealing to solutions palpable to most Americans. For Clinton, this has largely been

an appeal to Democratic women who want to see a female president. As for Walker, the rhetoric and tone of a fighter who is unscripted and uncensored has been the central theme of his campaign. Instead of chasing the shiny objects, we should concern ourselves with the policy stances of each candidate, especially due to the fact that these stances will impact ISU students. In 2014, CyRide provided more than 6 million rides. Orange Circulator, Red to Ames Middle School, and Blue to South Duff are incredibly vital to the very fabric of life at Iowa State. It is in your best interest to hear what all 20-some presidential candidates have to say on the issue of public transportation, and not just the candidates who happen to be in the party you customarily support. To date, young people have failed to accomplish this. Walker has expressed that his vision for public transportation is for every citizen to own a car. I struggle to imagine how our predominantly pedestrian campus would handle a yearly influx of however many cars this change would produce. Additionally, this vision would be misguided not only for our university but any urban or suburban population in the country. For her part, Clinton has not expressed a specific vision on transportation policy and that must be a function, at least in part, to the fact that she has not found it necessary. No one raised the subject to Clinton when

she visited the Alumni Center earlier this summer. In its place, countless selfies with the candidate graced social media accounts belonging to those in attendance. It will take a good faith effort and an investment of time to ensure that the candidates are acting in our interest on this issue. The research and critical thought to understand and effectively advocate for specific policies is no small task, but a significant responsibility none the less. A great caveat of this responsibility is that the resources necessary for informed political action are bountiful. Thousands of interests and political advocacy groups work daily on these issues and do their best to spotlight policy differences among the candidates. So instead of reading daily tip sheets concerned with insider knowledge, the Urban League, the Iowa Ag Summit, Americans for Peace Prosperity and Security and others are doing the consequential work of holding candidates accountable in a mostly transparent way that will also help you discern which candidate actually fits your needs. We need to reverse the steady erosion of the hypothesis that “at least some [voters] are sensible persons who vote in a manner calculated to nudge public affairs in the direction they judge desirable.” Campaigns centered on identity politics rather than relevant issues won’t get us any steps closer to really effecting change.

Don’t buy into free tuition promises By Beth.Woodruff @iowastatedaily.com As college students, we all know how dreadful it is to pay bills, especially our tuition. Most of us are young, broke and want to spend our money on other items and events. During the current presidential campaign, the topic of a free college education has sprung up countless times. While the premise is enticing, and I envy the countries that have free college for students, it is not the right decision. Inflation and rising college tuition rates are extreme concerns of many college students. Whitehouse.gov illustrates how Pell grants have been designed to increase with inflation to ensure the same value, or nearly the same value, over time. The maximum award on Pell grants is also on track to increase to $5,975 by the year 2017. While tuition rates are increasing, so are the resources students can use to pay for their education.

The increase in Pell grant funding is positive, but the government simply cannot produce the funds to foot the entire bill of every student’s education. The debt of the nation is more than $18 trillion. There are no government funds left to pay for the United States’ 20.2 million college students. This unfortunately means it is financially impractical for the government to cover the cost of all college students’ tuition as it would have to if tuition were to become free. But students should remember that the government is paying as much as possible. While many of us students may be in debt by the end of our college career , it will be far less than the $18 trillion in debt our government currently has to shoulder. Not only does the government lack funding to pay for all college tuition, but it may not be as beneficial for students as we hoped. An academic paper written by sociology professor Laura Hamilton from the University of California suggests a correlation

between students’ GPA and the amount of funding they receive from their parents. The study suggested that the more parental funding students received the worse their GPA was. This implies that students feel less inclined to prepare for classes when they are not in charge of paying their own tuition. Failing a class is an academic punishment and not a financial one. This study can easily be connected to government funding as well. The more tuition costs our government pays for, the less students will care about their studies. Students who pay for their own education are forced to work hard and put their money to good use. Surprisingly, there are a few reasons to be thankful for student loans, despite how horrific they seem. Loans can help build good credit history and a good credit score. While most of us in college aren’t concerned with credit

scores, they are very important after school. Credit history can help determine insurance rates and the ability to get a car or apartment. These will all be important after college, when money is tight, and students need to get the lowest rates possible to stay financially sound. Loans can also help teach college students essential budgeting skills that will be required after the four years (or less for some) that students live on a college campus. After graduation, USA Today states that more than half of college graduates remain unemployed six months after they graduate. Budgeting becomes critical for graduates during this time, and having experience paying off loans will help create successful budgets. While college is an expensive adventure, it is an investment that will last a lifetime. Government funding is important and is implemented in many ways to help students, however it is impossible for full funding to come from the U.S. government.

The world we live in is constantly changing, and for the most part, the world’s inhabitants are either able to or willing to change along with it. We try to keep up with the latest fashion trends, our various feeds are constantly updating, so we’re always in the know and it seems almost every day that some new improvement is being made to our already impressive arsenal of technology. Given the fact that Iowa State’s campus is, in essence, its own functioning world, these ideas are applicable in most every way. Students are very aware of the goings on when it comes to campus life and are, in turn, always evolving. But humans, as a rule, have a much easier time changing than perhaps the physical environment around them, which is understandable. For example, The Hub, Morrill Hall and the Campanile have resided on campus since 1898 and are obviously still huge parts of campus lifestyle. These structures are hugely important to the history of this beautiful university, which will be the home of approximately 36,000 students this year, but no one is suggesting to alter or take away these landmarks. There are, however, some smaller details that are nestled away in other halls that are in dire need of an update to keep up with the ever-changing culture. The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community has a huge presence on campus and does great things by helping any student who is struggling with issues pertaining to their sexuality. The organization has several events scheduled to reach out to new students, including the ice cream social at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Student Services Building and game night Tuesday. Students who face the challenges openly are growing in numbers across the board, but recently, in the media especially, the world has started to be just as accepting toward someone who is transgender as it has been toward someone who is gay or lesbian. This past July the world met Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Bruce Jenner, and watched as she bravely and honestly let the world see what living a life you don’t feel was meant for you, was like. The response has been tremendously positive and was ultimately the first domino that has sparked necessary conversations about the “T” in LGBT, which had previously flown under the radar. One of these conversations needs to occur on campus in regard to accommodations for transgender students. One of the things discussed on TV shows like “I am Cait” or “Becoming Us,” which cover the topic of transitioning, is the dilemma of which restroom to use. In March, students and professionals involved in the Iowa State LGBT community set out to map all the gender-neutral restrooms on campus in order to ensure the safety and comfort of any transgender, non-binary and non-gender specific students and to hopefully make adjustments to current restrooms. This is great, but there is no easy way to know where these restrooms are located. Adding online or adding a section to the MyState App that shows the location of these single-stall, familystyle restrooms on campus would help make these students feel more comfortable.

SENATE p1 Iowa State University shall have the power to confirm Supreme Court nominees.” Currently, the president of Student Government appoints a member of the Supreme Court and the Senate approves the nomination. The president of the university also has the power to approve the appointing of a justice. However, if passed by senators, the bill will remove the president’s power to do so. Sen. Cole Button said this amendment would keep this action to ensure only the Senate can confirm nominees, something he does not think is a good idea. “It’s never been used before, and I feel like there’s a lot more negatives than positives for this,” Button

said. For the first Senate meeting of the 2015 fall semester, Student Government confirmed a member of the executive cabinet for the coming year. Logan Halverson was nominated by Breitbarth and Vice President Megan Sweere as the chief of staff of the executive cabinet. “We think he’ll run our cabinet really well,” Breitbarth said. “Megan and I have the utmost confidence in him.” The Senate approved adding senators to new seats. Taylor Finn was also approved by the Senate as an at-large member of the finance committee. Finance Director Hamad Abbas said they need four-at-large seats in the Finance Committee and Finn was a great candidate for the position.

New end zone a spectacular spectacle By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com It took 25 years, a total of $60 million and the largest cash gift in the history of Iowa State, but at long last, the south end zone at Jack Trice Stadium has been enclosed by a spectacularly imposing addition. “I feel honored that I happen to be the [athletic director] that’s here when it’s happening, but this is far greater than any one person and any one set of individuals,” said ISU athletic director Jamie Pollard. “This is a dream and a vision that people have had for a long time about this place, and it’s just really cool to be part of it happening.” The stands — individual seats as opposed to bleachers — line the gradual rise to the addition’s balcony with cardinal red. The new videoboard looms above the two-story addition, facing its counterpart above the Jacobsen building on the field’s north end. Inside the end zone club, walls decorated with murals depicting Cyclone glory create an ambiance for club members who can lounge at multiple bars lined with flat-screen televisions. Concession alcoves

are cut into the sides of the lobby. Up two flights of stairs, light from walls of windows illuminate a similar floor plan, with one major difference: A bird’s eye view of Jack Trice and its now 61,500-seat capacity — the third largest venue in the Big 12 — as the edge of the ISU campus stretches off in the northern distance. “It’s just another major step in a continuum of success,” said ISU athletic director Jamie Pollard. “You don’t change the history of a program overnight. We’ve talked about that. We all want to win and we all want to win today, but it’s generational, and especially in the sport of football.” That continuum began when Pollard took the reins a decade ago. Since then, Iowa State has spent $160 million in funds and donations to add to and upgrade its athletic facilities. The south end zone project represents well over a third of that investment. Former ISU grad Ben Bunge of the Weitz Company oversaw the mammoth project, one that took 13 months to complete and required an “army” of workers. “I would tell you that we peaked at 220 guys on site,” Bunge said. “Over 17 other different contractors

and probably had 50-75 subcontractors. So you are probably looking at 1,000 different people approximately on site.” But the construction’s genesis dates back further than that. It all began with an email in December 2014. Pollard was set to pitch the addition to Roy and Bobbi Reiman — the project’s benefactors — after the final game of the 2014 season at Texas Christian.

TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte and Pollard joked Wednesday about the timing of the pitch — coming on the heels of a 2-10 season that ended with a 55-3 drubbing at the hands of the Horned Frogs. But seven days later, Pollard got the word. And that word was GO. “The actual yes came by an email from Roy Reiman a week later,” Pollard recalled. “When he sent

me an email on that Friday morning that said, ‘Jamie are you sitting down? If not, please sit down. We’re going to do it.’” Fans can catch their first glimpse from inside Jack Trice at 7 p.m. Sept. 5, when the Cyclones open up the season under the lights against Northern Iowa. While Pollard said he was excited for that first game, the next home contest against Iowa has an

even larger claim on his attention and enthusiasm. “I love it. I think that it’s really neat how it worked out and I think it’s even better how it will open during a night game,” Pollard said. “I think it will really feel so much more electric because of that …. When our friends from the east (Iowa) come over on Sept. 12, (they’ll) know, ‘little brother’ is growing up.”

Freshmen to play key roles on, off field for ISU soccer team By Trey.Alessio @iowastatedaily.com ISU head soccer coach Tony Minatta has called this year’s team one of the deepest classes he has been a part of, and a big reason for that stems from the freshmen on the team. The Cyclones have eight freshmen on this year’s soccer team, and each one of them has been pushing the envelope at practice. “These are players that come in and they want to play. They want to win. That energy is infectious for the rest of the team,” Minatta said. Of the eight freshmen, a few have been early season standouts for Iowa State. In the game against South Dakota State, freshman Taylor Wagner placed a corner kick to senior captain Haley Albert, who snuck it past the South Dakota State goalkeeper for the only point of the game. “Taylor [Wagner] especially has come in and just been a really composed player who really just understands the game,” Minatta said. “Technically, she’s one of the best on the team — creative on the dribble. And that’s something that we really didn’t have last year — somebody who had her soccer IQ and

her ability to attack on the dribble.” Another freshman that has wowed Minatta and the rest of the coaching staff is Emily Steil. She earned a starting spot when redshirt junior Mia McAleer and junior Danielle Moore went down with injuries. “[Emily] is another heady, technical player who stays engaged the whole time,” Minatta said. Klasey Medelberg is another freshman that has uplifted Iowa State. Minatta said she resurrected the team during the South Dakota game and gave the Cyclones a lot of energy. He said as soon as they put Klasey on the field, her energy and commitment to pressuring the back line made everybody else step up and play a lot harder. “Those three, right now, are really effecting

what we’re seeing in games, but all the freshmen are contributing with what they bring to practice,” Minatta said. “You can’t take a break at any point and time if you’re an upperclassmen because they want to get on the field.” Another way the freshmen have contributed to the team is through a new implementation called the leadership council that started last spring. The ISU women’s soccer team’s leadership council has representatives from every class to help each grade level on and off the field. Wagner and Steil were the freshmen selected by their teammates to be a part of this leadership council. “You’re pretty much the captains for your grade,” Steil said. “Each week we get a handout or something, and you just learn and grow

“She’ll shoot from outside and she’s just a pure soccer player. I think there are things she sees on the field that the rest of the team isn’t seeing yet, but she knows where to go with the space.” - Coach Minatta on Taylor Wagner as a leader — on and off the field. If there’s an issue in your class, people will go to you and you’ll try to solve the problem. “It’s really just about growing as a person and a leader.” Minatta said the eight players on the leadership council are all impactful on the field, and he believes that will translate and help push the rest of the players to their common goals. With the leadership council helping on and off the field, the freshmen continue to push the upperclassmen on the field. “Practices are extremely intense. We definitely like to battle for that starting position because it’s important to everyone. Everyone feeds off that energy,” Wagner said. Minatta said the that

played South Dakota looks completely different from the team that played Iowa last season. A big portion of that is attributed to the consistent effort and energy the freshmen have brought to practice and the games. “Collectively, they’re really excited because now

we’re as deep as we’ve ever been, and they’re excited for what that could potentially do for us heading into the season,” Minatta said. The Cyclones will head to California Friday, Aug. 28, to take on Long Beach State and Pepperdine on Sunday, Aug. 30.

Guests at weddings traditionally congratulate the couple by giving a gift. The couple’s registry will provide ideas on what to get for the couple.

Wedding guest etiquette 101 By Amber.Misek @iowastatedaily.com It’s finally the couple’s big day. Months of planning and preparation have led up to this, and the last thing anyone wants is for a guest to make a mess of things. Save yourself from embarrassment by following these simple wedding etiquette guidelines. When the invitation comes in the mail, don’t disregard the RSVP. Gener-

ally the invite will have a date by which you should respond. If there is no date, it’s in your best interest to send it back ASAP. Don’t put it off. According to theknot. com, a multiplatform wedding resource, it’s best to return the RSVP at least three weeks before the wedding. The event coordinators tailor everything around the number of guests. By not sending in your reservations there is

a chance that both you and your plus one will be without a seat and without a dinner plate. Do not take that chance. Katie Gieseke, event management office manager at the Memorial Union, said that in order for the reception to go smoothly, the wedding planners need a final headcount at least 10 days in advance. Not notifying the couple of your attendance “puts a lot of stress on the

couple,” she said. Arriving on time is very important. It is polite for guests to find their way to their seats about 10 minutes before the ceremony starts. “If the wedding starts at 3 [p.m.], be in your seat before then,” Gieseke said. “We’re not going to let you walk down the aisle with the wedding party.” It is crucial to note that no matter how much you love the couple, you should only give a toast if it is asked

of you. “It’s best to know in advance who is going to say something and in what order; anyone not on the list should check with the couple before making an impromptu speech at the reception,” according to insideweddings.com. Traditionally, it is the guests’ role to congratulate the couple by providing a gift. The window of time for this gift giving is generally within a year of the event.

“Chances are if you don’t send something within two months of the wedding date, you’ll forget,” according to theknot.com. If you are unsure what to get for the happy couple, check their registry and choose something within your budget. If you aren’t able to spend a lot, at least leave a card. This shows you care about the newlyweds and are grateful to be a part of their special day.

Do’s and don’ts for guests Don’t bring guest(s) that weren’t included on the RSVP Just as it’s important to send in your RSVP, it’s also important that the only guests who attend the wedding are listed on the invitation (unless you were given a ‘+1’ to bring someone with you). The couple may not have planned for additional guests or specifically chose not to invite someone. Don’t wear white There are many fashion fopas that you could make at a wedding, but the worst of them all is to wear the color white. Use your best judgment on what to

wear—you don’t want to go too over the top—but the bride should be the only one in all white. Don’t ruin the moment During weddings and wedding receptions, there are a lot of special moments from the bridal party walking down the aisle, to cutting to the cake, to the first dance. Pay attention to what is going on because you don’t want to ruin any special moments or create an awkward photo bomb. Don’t hit on the bridesmaids and groomsmen Yes the bridesmaids and groomsmen all look

dashing in their formal wear, but they’re off limits for the ‘single mingle.’ The wedding party has multiple responsibilities throughout the day and night—in addition, they should be spending time with the couple on their special night. Don’t get a little too tipsy Many times drinking is an option at a wedding, but that doesn’t mean you need to get drunk. A wedding is a special occasion and you don’t want to end up embarrassing the couple or yourself. Know your limit and have a game plan going in.

UNIONS p1 there, but never something related to this issue.” Better end of the deal? Iowa State has never been an NFL factory line mass producing professional talent. In the Paul Rhoads era, only 20 players have donned an NFL uniform in any capacity. Only nine of those have made a 53-man roster at the game’s highest level. It is mainly the marquee players who leave school early to play professionally that are potentially taken advantage of in the current system. They accumulate their initial fortunes on athletic talent alone, not the educational compensation they receive in college — which they frequently choose not to even finish. While the number of top-level players being denied a large percentage of their market value at the NCAA level is minimal, the money surrounding that denial is enormous. The NCAA generated $989 million in revenues in the 2014 fiscal year, per its

own financial statement. Oregon, Texas, Michigan and Alabama all generated revenues of more than $150 million in 2014, according to USA Today. Pollard pointed out that whatever perceived inequities might exist now, they would multiply and evolve if players were classified as employees and began getting paid. “You think there’s inequities today? Think of the inequities if I start deciding that the quarterback is worth more than the backup punter and scout team player,” Pollard said. Then there’s the notion of the employee/employer relationship. If a player failed to perform under that set of rules, he could be released. “You’re fired, and I’ll fire you in the middle of the season,” Pollard said bluntly. “We aren’t prepared to deal with that, and neither are the student athletes.” A solution would be to allow for a free market wherein players can pursue professional careers absent any limitations. But the NBA

restricts high school players from entering the draft for at least a year, while the NFL requires three years of collegiate experience before a player is eligible to move on to the pros. “The issue is the NBA doesn’t want them yet. The NBA (and the NFL) have got a great thing going because they have a minor league system that they’re not funding,” Pollard said. Coaches and general managers lose their jobs when they make bad draft decisions. The evaluators’ temporary obstruction of the American dream for high school players by blocking their path to the pros allows for more game data with which to make informed decisions. Because there is no minor-league alternative for college-aged players aspiring to the pros, they are left with few choices other than to pursue college sports. But it’s worth pointing out that college brands also help elevate star athletes to a level of marketability they can capitalize on at the next

level. “Monte Morris, no one had heard of. Michigan State didn’t recruit him. We gave him a pretty good platform to have an internship to get him to this spot,” Pollard said of the ISU point guard, widely considered now as a potential NBA prospect. “Johnny Manziel almost came on a recruiting visit to Iowa State. Nobody knew who he was (before Texas A&M).” The autonomy decision The NCAA’s autonomy decision gave Power-5 conference member schools, as well as Notre Dame, the ability to implement policies to enhance the studentathlete experience. Attempts at enhancement had formerly been shot down by the smaller schools, which couldn’t afford to make such improvements and outnumber the Power-5 contingent in voting matters. The NCAA referenced these changes in its response to the NLRB’s ruling.

“The National Labor Relations Board’s decision to reject jurisdiction and dismiss the union petition in this case is appropriate,” NCAA chief legal officer Donald Remy wrote. “In recent years, we have provided college athletes with multi-year scholarships, free education for former college athletes and unlimited meals.” As soon as autonomy was enacted, the cost of attendance amendment was passed with speed. “The autonomy thing allowed us to address those issues real quick, some of which were outlined in the union case.” Pollard explained. The Big 12 membership schools now provide all scholarship athletes with full cost of attendance, an increase of $2,430 annually at Iowa State. The school also provides a $500 stipend to non-contiguous students — those who are from a state that is neither Iowa nor shares a geographical border with Iowa. “I think it’s great because that will definitely

help with gas money and extra food like groceries outside of football,” said ISU kicker Cole Netten. Iowa State was already providing scholarships for former athletes who desired a return to school as well as an extended meal plan for scholarship players and walk-ons alike. Next up on the autonomy agenda is to provide free flights for parents on official visits for football players. Men’s and women’s basketball players are already beneficiaries of that perk at Iowa State. So while the notion of unionization has been all but buried by the NLRB Review Board’s choice not to assert jurisdiction, the movement was not a failure. “Me and Ramogi and a bunch of other people saw (the decision) going differently, but this isn’t the end,” Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter told Outside the Lines. “If (college athlete rights are) not going to happen this way, 75004 we’ll get it another way.”
