GREEK

SANCTIONED MOST CONDUCT VIOLATIONS GO TO GREEKS BY SARAH.MULLER @iowastatedaily.com Of the 39 student organizations sanctioned by the Office of Student Conduct (OSC) since 2013, 35 have been chapters from the greek community, according to the OSC website.

OSC provides codes and regulations that all students must follow. Organizations who violate any of the codes or regulations are subject to sanctions or penalties, but only after a series of hearings are scheduled. “It’s unfortunate that rules get broken and no one is shying away from any accountability,” said Billy Boulden, director of Greek Affairs, during an interview with the Daily in December. “I don’t necessarily believe going through [the] student conduct process is a negative thing.” 35 out of 39

In the last four years, greek chapters have made up 35 of the student organizations sanctioned by OSC. Of the 35 greek chapters, Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Pi lead the way with four sanctions each since 2013. Pi Kappa Alpha has been sanctioned four times for “misuse of alcoholic beverages and controlled substances,” according to the OSC website. Two of those times were packaged together during September 2016 after two separate incidents were reported in a short period of time, resulting in a double sanction. One of the events included the violation of a local, state or federal law. “They were originally charged for the first violation and before they had settled that violation they had a second incident, so they had one hearing for all their violations,” Boulden said in December. All of Sigma Pi’s offenses in the past four years also include “misuse of alcoholic beverages and controlled substances.” One sanction against them in August 2016 also claimed “public disorder” and “endangerment.” Two events were sanctioned with the violation of a local state or federal law. The four non-greek organizations that have been sanctioned include the Women’s Hockey team, Men’s Volleyball team, ISU Ultimate Frisbee Club and Iowa State Running Club. All except for ISU Ultimate Frisbee Club were penalized for “misuse of alcoholic beverages and controlled substances.”

ISU Ultimate Frisbee Club was sanctioned for “harassment and discriminatory harassment,” “endangerment” and “violation of conditions of recognition.” 31 out of 35

All of the greek chapters sanctioned have “violations of conditions of recognition.” Conditions of recognition are the guidelines that allow them to be an organization at Iowa State. As a result, 31 out of 35 of the greek chapters were put on conduct probation. “[Conduct probation] is not as significant as deferred suspension because if they violate another regulation at that time, it might then immediately go to a hearing," said Sara Kellogg, director of OSC. The remaining four chapters either received disciplinary reprimand, defined length suspension or deferred suspension. “[Deferred suspension] is kind of like a settlement, so we agree to not suspend a chapter at this time, ” Kellogg said. “Should there be additional concerns that are reported to the office, the chapter then could face having that deferral revoked.” 28 out of 35

Of the 35 greek-related sanctions, 28 included “misuse of alcoholic beverages and controlled substances.” Some chapters that violated this also violated conduct codes, including “indecent exposure,” “disruption of rights,” “endangerment” or “theft or damage to a property or services.” As a result, some chapters had to review their risk management policy with Greek Affairs or OSC. “[It’s] taking a look at does this meet the needs," Kellogg said. "Does this ser ve the purpose of a risk management plan? [OSC] may have a different lens related to how might this be difficult for you to enforce. How might this not match with the student disciplinary regulations?” Some chapters were required to put in additional training for their members after the sanction.

Violations also included "indecent exposure," "disruption of rights," "endangerment" and "theft or damage to a property or services."

“[The training] is up to each individual chapter,” Kellogg said. “[OSC] does not have a template for organizations. Most of the time their headquarters or nationals might have some kind of [plan]. ” The consequences

“Typically we don’t comment on specific behavior pieces,” Boulden said in December. “We’re just here to help [chapters] do the right thing and be their cheerleaders. We let Student Conduct be the people who hold them accountable for their behavior and their actions.” However Greek Affairs is mentioned five times on the student organizational disciplinary page, between reviews, programs and meetings. In December, Boulden referred to the relationship between OSC and Greek Affairs as a partnership. If Greek Affairs received a report, it gave it to OSC to investigate. “I think a part of our experience is to learn and to grow and I think the ownership does go into our chapters to prove that they are learning and growing through the conduct process and that could be a positive for everyone,” Boulden said in December. Presidents and Vice Presidents of Sigma Pi, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Pi Kappa Alpha and Billy Boulden did not respond to requests to comment specifically on this story.

POLICE

PART OF THE COMMUNITY

MIKINNA KERNS/ IOWA STATE DAILY Iowa State Police Chief Michael Newton spent the summer preparing for the fall semester, specifically looking at being more inclusive with the community by rebranding multicultural officers.

BY ALEX.CONNOR @iowastatedaily.com

With a summer under his footing, Iowa State Police Chief Michael Newton is ready for the fall semester. At the forefront of his mind are building community and developing leadership.

Going into the summer — where Iowa State’s population dwindles from 36,000 students to roughly 12,000 — Newton aimed to recharge the department and asked: what are the things that we need to do to make this organization better before the students get back? One of the solutions for Newton was changing the name of the police department’s Multicultural Liaison Officers (MLOs) to Engagement and Inclusion Officers. “Engagement and Inclusion Officers is not just a name change — it’s a rebrand of what those officers are for,” Newton said. Newton said one of the common things he was hearing from students, faculty and staff before summer break was confusion on the role of the police department’s Multicultural Liaison Officers when that was already a program developed within the academic departments. “We really felt as we talked as a group and talked to faculty and staff and students that by having an Engagement and Inclusion Officer we were wrapping into the whole of the community,” Newton said. The intent of the Engagement and Inclusion Officers are to provide outreach and assistance to all members of the Iowa State community. The engagement aspect of the rebrand aims to establish a partnership with the community rather than just knowledge of the issues at hand. Newton said in an email part of that was “realizing bias does exist and showing a willingness to learn from each other through discussion and presence.” As for the inclusion portion of the rebrand, Newton and the police department want all students, faculty and staff to know they are there for them. “One of my visions is moving forward, building community,” Newton said. “And I can’t just build community with one segment of the population or pockets of the population. “So, we’re wrapping into the LGBTQ community, we’re wrapping into the cultural community. We’re wrapping into just the average student, staff or faculty member. We wanted to be inclusive of our community — while not forgetting that there are issues, concerns specific to [different] cultures and

culture climate.” The program is also being expanded, with more officers within the department filling the responsibilities that comes with the position, such as outreach, having a greater presence on campus and providing more opportunities to interact with students in non-police settings. “We want to engage the community differently,” Newton said. “And I also look at it as all of our officers need to be involved in engagement and inclusion — including the chief. “I’m going to be out there going to events and talking to people because that’s how we build community and that’s how we have a successful community is that we’re engaged into it.” Aside from the Engagement and Inclusion Officers, Newton also hired two new officers to the department. Currently, Newton said, there are 35 sworn officers and he hopes to eventually fill all 39 officer positions he’s authorized to have. One of the new officers, Newton said, is Mandarin-speaking. The department has also been working on new campaigns, such as a releasing a video on social media prior to the start of classes, letting sexual assault survivors know they care and asking them to report. As for future programs, the department is also in the works of a “type of Crime Watch program” and crime prevention campaigns. “Campus law enforcement needs to be more than enforcement,” Newton said. “It needs to be a part of the community.” Newton wants to keep in mind the history of the department, even though his past 18 years of policing has been with the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He’s worked to learn more about the community through efforts such as reviewing the past 20 years of department history during a ISU Police leadership retreat in August. “One thing that is important to me is that you can’t forget the past. And you can’t forget where you were in the past because the past is what builds your future,” Newton said. “And for me, I needed to understand and acknowledge the past if we’re going to grow as an organization and move forward.”

HEALTH

Student Health introduces a “portal” to online health care ALEC GILJOHANN/ IOWA STATE DAILY Thielen Student Health Center is located near State Gym and Beyer Hall on Union Drive. Patients will now have access to their health records and prescriptions without having to call the center.

BY SARAH.MULLER @iowastatedaily.com

Patients can sign up for a new online patient service available for Thielen Student Health Center.

“We really feel like it’s our mission to educate our students about their health care and their health in general,” said Erin Baldwin, director of Student Health. “This is a really nice tool where we can follow up after visits and just provide a lot of really good information.” The Patient Portal allows for “24-hour access to personal health information from anywhere with an internet connection,” according to the Student Health website. Patients will be able to view health information including recent provider visits, medications, vaccinations, allergies and lab results. They can also interact with providers using a secure email or download forms and educational materials. “The perks of [Patient Portal] is less phone calls,” said Charity Kreutz, clinical informaticist. “You have

that information right there. You can notify us a lot quicker and we can get back to you as opposed to phone tag since we don’t know when your classes are.” Approximately 400 patients have signed up for Patient Portal, but Baldwin’s goal is to add 1,000 new sign-ups this year. “The more patients sign up for it, the more we can use it better,” Kreutz said. For students, they can allow another person to have access such as a parent, guardian or spouse. “There’s another form they have to fill out to get access to that, like a proxy access form,” Kreutz said. “They can manage those rights on their own Patient Portal.” While patients cannot yet schedule appointments through Patient Portal, that is Student Health’s next goal with updating the server. “The scheduling appointments online will be our next big focus, but there’s a lot of moving parts

behind the scenes to make that successful,” Baldwin said. Currently the website is an addition of the paperless server that the providers already use in the Health Center, so there is no additional needed cost to fund Patient Portal. However, patients have to voluntarily enroll in Patient Portal and fill out some verifications in order to gain access to their medical records. Prospective users need to get an “enrollment token” in order to sign up. “Privacy is really important to us,” Baldwin said. “Since this is with peoples’ protected health information that’s why there is this two-step process to make sure we’re verifying we are giving access to the right person.” To read more about how to access Patient Portal, visit cyclonehealth.org.

Canvas is a change we needed BY ISAAC.SINCLAIR @iowastatedaily.com

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION: HANNAH OLSON/ IOWA STATE DAILY For Columnist Sinclair, Blackboard was OK, but not perfect. Sinclair argues that Canvas is better, from design to easy use.

If you’re an Iowa State student, you have undoubtedly used the learning management system Blackboard for almost all of your classes. Blackboard has everything we need as students: assignments, quizzes and most importantly, our grades. But it’s not perfect.

Blackboard is clunky and navigating the site initially can be difficult for incoming freshmen. Its style is outdated and often feels cluttered. There have been frustrating moments for me in the past where Blackboard hasn’t always been running smoothly when I needed it to be. That being said, many Iowa State students are now used to the program. I was fine with Blackboard until I heard Iowa State was looking into replacing Blackboard. By the end of the fall 2017 semester, Blackboard’s contract with Iowa State will end. And that left Iowa State with two options. They could either renew their contract with Blackboard or switch over to another learning management system. Canvas became Iowa State’s new learning management system June 8, replacing Blackboard. Canvas is extremely similar to Blackboard except for one tiny detail: it’s better. After using both of these learning management systems, I can whole-

heartedly declare that Canvas is better than Blackboard. The entire site has a cleaner look than Blackboard did and that alone makes it easier to find classes, assignments and grades. Its sleek design is modern and uncluttered, creating a more user-friendly platform. Switching over to Canvas also makes more sense going forward. Blackboard used to have almost a complete monopoly on learning management systems, but Canvas and similar companies have been slowly breaking its dominance apart. According to Edutechnica, “Canvas has definitively become the #2 LMS in US higher education” in 2017. Blackboard, on the other hand, has gone from holding 90% of the market share in 2006 down to 44% in 2015. Iowa State needs a learning management system that is on the rise, not the decline, to effectively support its enormous and active student population. Canvas has been able to draw in a multitude of other big name colleges, including the University of Maryland, the University of Washington and the Juilliard School of Music. Iowa State moving from Blackboard to Canvas isn’t groundbreaking and I’m sure we won’t be the last college to make this move. The transition from Blackboard to Canvas won’t be perfect. As a matter of fact, I expect it to be difficult. Professors and students rooted into using Blackboard will have a hard time relearning

a whole new system. But there are two factors working in our favor. The first is that Canvas is easy to use and navigate. Professors and students will also be able to take their ability to navigate Blackboard and transfer it over to Canvas, as they are similar systems with familiar structures and processes. The second factor is that 100 to 150 instructors are using a limited version of Canvas during this fall semester. This should help ease up the transition and troubleshoot some initial problems before Canvas is exposed to the entire university. If you fear the change that is coming or just prefer Blackboard, I encourage you to give Canvas an honest try. I know that change can be uncomfortable, but this is an improvement and the change is unavoidable. Canvas will make your life easier, not harder and I suggest embracing this new system as soon as you can rather than fighting it. As a university, we must shed off the old, musty skin of Blackboard and embrace the new, clean system of Canvas. Iowa State is making sure it’s taking the right steps to stay up to date with its learning management systems and give its students all the necessary tools they need to succeed. I am extremely pleased with the decision to make Canvas Iowa State’s learning management system and I believe it will positively improve everyone’s educational experience.

EDITORIAL

Sexual assault is on the assailant A sad reality of our world is the risk of sexual assault. Everyone is at risk for experiencing sexual assault - man, woman, living in a large city or a small town, any race, class, age, everyone. Including college students.

The National Sexual Violence Resource Center reported that one in five women and one in 16 men are sexually assaulted in college. To put this into perspective at Iowa State, in 2016, if these statistics are accurate that would mean 1,099 men and 2,618 women were sexually assaulted on campus last year. Sexual assault has been a known issue on campuses since at least 1957 when one of the first studies on college sexual assaults was published in American Sociological Review. If people have been

getting assaulted at college for at least 50 years, why have we not found a solution? Maybe it’s because we aren’t focusing on the assailants, who are truly at fault. It is not on the victim to protect themselves from getting assaulted. It doesn’t matter what they are wearing, where they are walking or what they are drinking. We need to stop focusing on teaching people ‘how to not get assaulted.’ While bystanders can in some cases stop a sexual assault, they also shouldn’t be the focus of prevention. Sexual assault can happen in a relationship or in a private setting. In these situations, a bystander may not realize that the interaction is unwanted or know it’s happening. Although it’s great for students to be educated on what they should do if they or someone they know has been sexually assaulted, the most important prevention

education we should be focusing on is keeping assailants from assaulting. A lack of knowledge on consent is a major issue on college campuses. The Washington Post conducted a poll of college students in 2015 regarding sexual assault. When asked if they believed that sexual activity without clear agreement between both parties was sexual assault or not, only 47 percent said that this qualified as sexual assault. Six percent believed that it wasn’t and the other 46 percent were unclear. This statistic is terrifying. If you don’t know the rules of consent, we ask that you please take the time to educate yourself, here. The issue of sexual assault on campus will not be an easy fix. But, if we are all educated on the issue we may be able to lower the number on our campus.

Friendships grow at football Victory Day

EMILY BLOBAUM/ IOWA STATE DAILY Will Munter runs through a drill as his buddy, Chase Allen, coaches him during Victory Day on Aug. 25 at Jack Trice Stadium. This is their second time being paired together for the event.

BY BRIAN.MOZEY @iowastatedaily.com

EXTRA CONTENT ONLINE

Will Munter and his family parked their car next to Jack Trice Stadium last Friday and Will was the first one out of the vehicle. As the family was walking up for Victory Day, Will was running, Will asked his parents, “when do I get to see my football player, Chase Allen?”

His parents reassured him that time would come soon, but in reality, they didn’t know if Allen was going to be their partner. Allen and Will were partners last year for the first Victory Day in Iowa State football history. Rewind to two weeks before the second annual Victory Day, coach Matt Campbell told his players there would be another year of Victory Day. “I knew I wanted to be paired with Will [Munter] from last year,” Allen said. “So, I asked the people in charge and they said it was a done deal.” Once Will and his family reached the Bergstorm Football Complex, Will and Allen made eye contact and raced in for a big hug. They hadn’t seen each other since last year’s Victory Day, but have been communicating all year long. The two have been communicating via Twitter and texting, Jeremy Munter, Will’s father, said. “It seemed like they started together right from where they left off last year,” Jeremy Munter said. “It was amazing to see the friendship build even stronger.” Victory Day is an idea that Campbell brought to Iowa State from Toledo to give children with disabilities the opportunity to play on Jack Trice Stadium for an evening. Will came last year and grew a connection with Allen instantly. Jeremy Munter has been sending Allen updates on how Will has been doing over the course of this past year. The best pictures came when Will would get new Iowa State clothes and show them off to Allen via texting. Allen looks forward to seeing Will grow from a fourth grader currently to a fifth and sixth grader in the future. “Will [Munter] has an unbelieveable spirit and personality, it brightens up any place he’s in,” Allen said. “Once he gets that football in his hands, his smile is infectious, which always makes me smile from ear to ear.” Will was diagnosed with Pervasive Development Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified, which in Kelly Munter’s, Will’s mother, terms is an autism spectrum disorder. His connection with Allen means more to him because he now has someone to root for in the bleachers. “Will [Munter] has made me work harder on the field, in

“That first touchdown I have will be for Will,” Allen said. “It’ll always be for Will.” the weight room and outside of sports,” Allen said. Will has made some tremendous progress throughout this past year, Kelly Munter said. He passed his deep end test for swimming, so he can swim with his older sister Megan Munter. The Munter family has become football season ticket holders for this upcoming season for the first time because of the relationship built with Allen. Will wanted to see Allen more often. Will is excited to see Iowa State football games and watch Allen play every Saturday. Allen is hoping to see and talk to the Munter family before or after each game to say hi and catch up on each other’s lives. “We can’t wait to see Chase [Allen] on the field each Saturday because he deserves it after the unfortunate year last season,” Kelly Munter said. Allen was redshirted last season after being hit by a car and having 103 stitches in his back and illness to begin fall camp. Allen feels the best he’s ever felt for the first week against Northern Iowa. He knows there’s a fan in the stands that will be wearing the No. 11 jersey and cheering for every Allen touchdown this season. That fan is Will. “That first touchdown I have will be for Will [Munter],” Allen said. “It’ll always be for Will.”

Last week in music New albums are on the way for some of music’s biggest artists. BY PARKER.REED @iowastatedaily.com

WHAT HAPPENED? Taylor Swift announced new album, released new single

T-Swift stopped the presses Wednesday morning when she finally announced her new album Reputation (due out Nov. 20) after teasing music fans everywhere for multiple days on her social media accounts. Thursday night saw the release of the album’s first single “Look What You Made Me Do” to mixed-opinions. Nigel Zeff, a graphic designer working with Ru Paul in Los Angeles, tweeted “The fact that Taylor Swift still thinks anyone is this invested in her stupid victim playing feuds with celebrities is so pathetic.” LCD Soundsytem broke up for money?

Everyone’s favorite disco-punk group originally disbanded back in 2011 after an epic final show which took place at Madison Square Garden. The almost four-hour-long show spawned a feature-length documentary, a vinyl-box-set which probably cost more than the ticket to the show, and brought closure to the band’s heralded career. But as we all know, James Murphy got the gang back together at the end of 2015 and headlined pretty much every festival in the world, and even has a fourth LP releasing next week. But speculation has risen as to if LCD Soundsystem potentially split primarily to sell tickets for their final show at MSG. “’My theory was, if I make it our last show, we’ll sell it out in two weeks,” said Murphy to The New York Times last week. Promoters of the show weren’t sure that the band themselves could sell out MSG on their own and began searching for a co-headliner. Murphy, in response, thought that making it their last show would lead to the show selling out in a matter of weeks. It later sold out in a matter of seconds. The band’s multi-instrumentalist Al Doyle came back a few days later to justify/abolish the rumor in a string of tweets, saying “Hoo-kay. Some commentators extrapolating from the @nytimes article that LCD broke up so we could ‘make more money off ticket sales.’ Oh boy.” No matter how you feel about LCD Soundsystem’s disbandment and eventual reunion, the group’s fourth full-length release is expected to release Sept. 1, with a lengthy tour to follow.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT... Foo Fighters befriend Rick Astley at Japanese Festival

Did anyone in the world wake up Monday morning expecting to be given the gift of a Foo Fighters/Rick Astley mashup? If so, unless those people happened to be at the Japanese Fest, their wish was granted in the form of a YouTube video featuring the mashup of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” Frontman Dave Grohl was originally the drummer in the 90’s grunge band, so the choice of song makes the mashup that much more of a truly monumental occasion. Is monumental an over-exaggeration? That’s up for you to decide after watching the video on repeat all week.

COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA COMMONS Taylor Swift was all over social media after the release of her new single, quickly followed by an album and tour announcement. Let’s just say there were mixed reviews.

WHAT’S NEW? Albums

“Villains” - Queens of the Stone Age The desert rockers’ seventh studio release is, in many ways, a perfect counterpart to their sixth LP, “...Like Clockwork.” While “Clockwork” featured many low-key, down-tempo, almost doomed-feeling tracks, “Villains” kicks up the beat of the record, which leads to a more dance-able collection of songs. This most-definitely was influenced by the record’s producer, Mark Ronson, the mind behind “Uptown Funk” (No it wasn’t Bruno Mars). It’s still very much a Queens record, so buckle up for a trip through the desert. “Good Nature” - Turnover Turnover’s third LP feels like the opposite side of the same coin as their second release, “Peripheral Vision.” While both records see the Virginia rockers bringing out their subtle melodic vibes, and both feature very breezy guitars soaked in reverb, the overall-tones are very much different. Where “PV” was very introspective, focused on the inner-issues we all have, “GN” is obsessed with enjoying and appreciating everything around us. Whether that be the great outdoors, or the company of others, Turnover wants to stress to us that there’s always something inviting, as long as we take a look around. Singles

“Look What You Made Me Do” - Taylor Swift The new track draws influences from a variety of artists including Lorde and Meghan Trainor, and seems to go in a darker direction, as compared to “1989’s” brighter, almost whimsical tone. The change in tone is drawing a fair amount of criticism, but also shows that Swift isn’t afraid of change, even as she continues into her purely-pop era. “The Sky is a Neighborhood” - Foo Fighters Foo Fighters have been kicking around for quite some time now, almost two decades, to be exact. The group already released the lead single to their upcoming ninth studio album “Concrete and Gold” (due out Sept. 15) in June, but “Sky” is a great continuation of the sounds that are hopefully fleshed out even more on the LP. The new track’s mid-tempo stomp compliments the bluesy chords/melody well, and the grittier production of the song’s verses effectively opens up to the epic, sprawling chorus. Spin this for sure.
