Thoughts on GSB denying Iowa State’s bike share program OPINION, page 5

NORML

Iowa State asks for dismissal of lawsuit By Maddy.Arnold @iowastatedaily.com

Above is the preferred concept of the GSB bike share committee. The bike share bill was voted down by the Government of the Student Body Senate on Sept. 3, but it might be revisited in the spring.

GSB raises concerns, recommends plans for future of bike share By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com The future of the bike share program is undetermined after the Government of the Student Body Senate voted not to fund this semester’s leg of the project at Sept. 3’s GSB meeting. The GSB-initiated bike share program would provide around 300 bikes at docking stations around campus. Students could use their ISUCards to check out bikes and return them at other docking stations. The idea of a bike share program inspired an industrial design class that would be devoted to creating model bikes and docking stations as well as determining whether or not the university’s infrastructure could handle the program. In spring 2014, the Senate had funded the class. Toward the end of the semester, the Senate voted to table a bill that would fund the fall semester of the class until fall GSB meetings. At Sept. 3’s meeting, the Senate voted not to approve the bill requesting an additional $7,477.39 to the almost $5,500 already spent funding the class.

Applying the brakes “One of the biggest misconceptions was that for us to fund this research, it’s not funding a bunch of bike prototypes that are going to be on campus,” said Hillary Kletscher, GSB president. “It’s not saying we’re going to commit to a bike share program.” Mark Kargol, the teaching assistant for the industrial design class, said that the 20 students in the class last semester created three designs for bikes and docking stations. This semester’s goal centered on designing and manufacturing two bikes, each of a different design, which would be funded by GSB. Those bikes would be used as prototypes and weighed against each other as the best model to manufacture. The community and regional planning students would also devote the semester to analyzing the university’s infrastructure to determine whether or not the university could support 300 more bikes on campus. The bike share program was the brainchild of Kletscher and former GSB president Spencer Hughes in fall 2012. Hughes had gotten the idea at a Big 12 student government conference. “At the time, we definitely had

an increased student population, but it wasn’t at the size that it is now,” Kletscher said about the project. “That’s why I think we had fewer reservations about it. At that point, we felt like the infrastructure could handle it.” Kletscher, a student like many others who brought their bikes from home to campus, said the program appealed to both her and Hughes because it was a project that could benefit all students on campus, not just the organizations that requested funds that would only benefit their members. “We have over $2 million every year,” Kletscher said about student fees. “From my perspective, spending $7,000 on something that could potentially benefit our entire campus, why wouldn’t we do that?” Hughes and Kletscher began to research bike share companies and their programs and create a plan on how to implement a program at Iowa State. They presented their idea to the Graduate and Professional Student Senate where an industrial design student brought a new perspective to the project.

Branstad, Reynolds share ideas on tuition

Council approves requests to rezone land, close streets By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com

By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com In the midst of a busy campaign season, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds announced proposals aimed at making college education more affordable. Two specific policies were announced Tuesday in an event at the Memorial Union, both of which will affect current and future students at Iowa State. Branstad and Reynolds also highlighted economic and educational achievements since taking office in 2011. “We doubted whether we could freeze tuition at our state universities, but we did it because we reformed the state budget and got it in order,” said Reynolds. “We were able to, for the first time in 30 years, freeze tuition for Iowa students attending our state

Iowa State University submitted a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed against employees by two students who said their rights to free speech and due process were violated. Paul G erlich and Er in Furleigh, the president and vice president of ISU NORML — an organization that advocates for the reform of marijuana laws — filed a lawsuit against President Steven Leath and vice presidents Warren Madden and Tom Hill and Leesha Zimmerman, a program coordinator in the trademark office, earlier this summer. Furleigh and Gerlich said their First Amendment rights were violated when Iowa State did not allow them to use the mascot Cy on some T-shirt designs. According to the motion to dismiss, the two students said Iowa State created “overbroad and vague” trademark guidelines and then “arbitrarily” used them to reject some of NORML’s T-shirts. The 13-page motion to dismiss from Iowa State, that was filed on Sept. 4, requested that the lawsuit against the four university employees be dropped for a number of reasons. According to the document, both Furleigh and Gerlich failed to provide facts that showed their First Amendment right to free speech was violated. The motion to dismiss also said Furleigh and Gerlich failed to claim use of the logo on their organizations shirts as fair use in the lawsuit. According to the document, fair use allows others to use a trademark if it is used as something other than a trademark, in a descriptive nature or in good faith. According to the document, the lawsuit should be dismissed because Furleigh and Gerlich did not “allege sufficient facts to establish any constitutional right in the use of ISU’s marks, that they lacked adequate alternative avenues for communicating their message without ISU’s marks, that their proposed uses of the marks were fair uses, or that their proposed uses did not cause confusion.” Look for more coverage of this story on iowastatedaily.com.

universities. Not only did we do that in 2013, but we did it for two years in a row.” Branstad began by highlighting economic and educational reform achievements already enacted. “One thing we always hear from students and from their parents is the high cost of higher education,” Branstad said. “I’m proud to say we’ve gone to work on that. For the first time in 35 years, there has been no rise in tuition for our students two years in a row.” He then laid out two specific policy proposals aimed at making

college more affordable for Iowa students. One proposal was for Fixed-Priced Value Degrees. He proposed that each of the regent institutions develop a series of bachelor’s degrees that Iowa residents or students can obtain for no more than $10,000 in tuition fees. The governor wants the universities to develop degrees in four of their most popular degree tracks. He also wants them to focus additionally in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math.

Ames City Council met Tuesday to discuss Dinkey Day, the Ames Public Library reopening and residential developments. The major discussion that took place in the City Council chambers was the rezoning of 79 acres of land north of Ada Hayden Heritage Park owned by Quarry Estates, LLC. The company proposed to the council the development of a residential subdivision, which would be called Quarry Estates. The approval required the permission of a conservation subdivision for the land use and the protection of watershed in Ada Hayden Lake. One particular concern that was brought forth was the effect this project may have on the water supply in that parcel of land. “We rely on that water supply,” said councilman Tim Gartin. “Is there anything we should be doing to protect that water supply?” Several members of the community came forth to discuss this matter with the council,

arguing in favor for this resolution. One person was Kurt Friedrich, who has a part in the development of the land. “A large area will be set aside for conservation and for the enjoyment for the residents and the community,” Friedrich said. The council approved the request, allowing for the development of Quarry Estates. Another major discussion that took place during the council meeting concerned the zoning of floodplains in the city of Ames. The City Council hopes to adopt new flood maps for College Creek and Worle Creek, and a rezoning of floodplains in Ames. The city of Ames participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, which allows property owners to purchase insurance to protect homes and businesses from damages. Due to Federal Emergency Management Agency regulations that came to be known in 2010, funding would be awarded to high-performing states, from which the city of Ames could

Overcrowding leads to more ISU accidents By Lauren.Vigar @iowastatedaily.com As the enrollment on campus increases, the amount of bike, foot and motor traffic is also on the rise. ISU Police Department said there have recently been a number of accidents on campus involving bicyclists and vehicles, including a student on a bicycle being seriously injured when struck by a vehicle on Fourth Street near Jack Trice Stadium on Aug. 29. “With enrollment increasing on campus, we have more pedestrians, we have more bicyclists, we have more vehicles all the time,” said Anthony Greiter, community outreach officer for the ISU Police. Greiter said there are many contributing factors to these accidents. One is more prevalent than the others, however. “There are rules that need to be followed that aren’t being followed on both parts, vehicle operators and bicyclists,” said Greiter. According to ISU Police, part of the problem is that many people do not know the rules. For optimum safety, bicyclists need to know their rules and vehicle operators need to know the rules for bicyclists

as well. “Accidents are an inherent risk of cycling,” said Kelsey Regan, a coordinator of the Cycling Club. More accidents are happening on and around campus than are reported, ISU Police said. People also do not report the amount of “missing” accidents, where an accident could have occurred if one party had not swerved out of the way. Regan said that while accidents cannot be completely prevented, following proper safety procedures could reduce accidents. “If cyclists want to be safe, then they need to have more safety gear than the law requires,” Regan said. Bicycle headlights are the only required safety equipment in Ames. While the law in Ames does not require helmets, they are vital safety devices, according to Regan. Bikers should be using mirrors on the helmet, reflective gear and extra headlights. “Do as much as you can do to be visible to drivers,” Regan said. It is not only bicyclists that need to understand and follow traffic safety rules. Grieter said motorists need to understand bicycle safety rules as well. “Drivers get frustrated that bicyclists don’t ride at or above the speed limit,” said Grieter.

Faculty Senate assemble, talk NCAA ruling, recruitment By Matthew.Rezab @iowastatedaily.com The ISU Faculty Senate met for the first time in the 2014-15 academic year Tuesday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. The Faculty Senate has legislative responsibilities for educational policies and procedures, including curriculum. The single academic proposal to add a minor in leadership studies was announced and will be voted on at the next full Senate meeting Oct. 14. The remainder of the meeting was aimed at updating the Senate with information pertinent to the its advisory function. The Faculty Senate advises the university administration and Board of Regents on matters of general welfare to the institution and faculty. Tim Day, professor of biomedical sciences and ISU faculty athletics representative, presented new information about the academic performance of ISU athletes and changes in the NCAA rules governing college scholarships. “These are pretty dynamic times at the NCAA,” Day said. “There have been some major changes brewing. One of the big ones is legislative autonomy.” According to Day, there are presently around 340 schools under the NCAA umbrella. Those schools

have athletic department budgets ranging from $3 million to $150 million, but had equal influence in the legislative process, creating conflicts. On Aug. 7, the NCAA restructured the legislature to allow all 65 “power conference” schools in the Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC and PAC-12 greater autonomy in legislating themselves. Day said the issue of “full cost of attendance” is being weighed against the traditional scholarship allocation of tuition, books, room and board. Previous to the NCAA ruling, smaller schools resisted the option to offer “full cost of attendance” scholarships. “The difference between ‘cost of attendance’ and ‘[books], room, board and tuition’ at Iowa State is $2,340,” Day said. “Under the old rules, smaller schools were resistant to raising the scholarship limit to the ‘full cost of attendance’ because it would be very difficult for them to afford.” Sen. Jonathan Sturm, professor of music and theatre, voiced concern about the fairness of scholarship athletes being given an extra stipend on top of their traditional scholarship. “Is this leading us toward a fine-tuned multiclass system?” Sturm asked. “Athletes do extra things, but so do students in the chemistry lab. Is there a class that then gets prefer-

Although cyclists are not able to travel at the same speeds as cars, they are allowed to ride on most Ames roads. North Grand Avenue, Highway 30 and Interstate 35 are the only roads that restrict bicycle traffic. Bicyclists are required to follow the same rules as cars when on the road. For example, they must stop at stop signs and red lights, and they must use hand signals to display their turning directions. Those who wish to advocate safe biking in Ames can join a new group called the Ames Bicycle Coalition. Greiter is part of a new campaign, “Take Care, Be Aware.” The campaign aims to inform the community about how to be safe sharing campus with bicyclists and vehicles. “Take care of yourself while you are riding, know the rules that apply to your bicycle or vehicle,” Greiter said. “It is important to know the rules of the opposite party, as well as practice being aware of what is going on in the area.” Regan made it clear that riding a bicycle on campus can never be riskfree. “Even people who are being extremely safe are still subjected to accidents,” Regan said. “They can never completely be prevented.”

Every day, hundreds of cyclists compete for road space with drivers and pedestrians. Bicyclists are given the same rights and responsibilities as any other driver according to the Ames Municipal Code.

mainder of the proposed five year state-funded capital plan budget and Iowa State’s funding on track for fiscal year 2016. The recommendation to the board was to push the other two regent universities’ funding back one year to fiscal year 2017. Iowa presented the Seashore Hall area renovation for the department of psychology for a total project cost of $67.5 million. Northern Iowa sought to remodel two existing buildings on campus. Requested funding is $40 million. T h e re c o m m e n d e d budget for next fiscal year will be reduced from $71 million to about $58 million. Regent Larry McKibben said he agreed with the idea to pause the projects and said that Iowa State’s innovation center is the most in line with the efficiency review’s goals. “We’re going to call time out on a lot of things in buildings simply because a major component of the transformation efficiency study is in fact utilization of facilities,” McKibben said. The proposed $80 million student innovation center would be a hands-on and co-curricular activity building for the colleges of engineering and design. Students studying other disciplines would also be able to use the 175,000-squarefoot facility. “It’s an exciting interdisciplinary project that really goes to the heart of Iowa State’s brand as a hands-on practical institution,” said Jonathan Wickert, ISU provost. “It’s a very

student-focused facility. It’s centered around making, building [and] designing things by students.” Building a new facility would replace maintenance on two older engineering buildings on campus: Sweeney Hall and the nuclear engineering lab. The center would provide more working space for the increased number of students enrolling in the science, technology, engineering and math fields, Wickert said. “Physical space for these programs has not kept up with the 35 percent or so enrollment growth that we’ve seen in these disciplines,” Wickert said. “This facility is a key aspect to maintaining our position and building our brand in a field that is really core to the university.” The full board will vote on the budget at Wednesday’s meeting in the Sun Ro o m o f t h e Me m o r i a l Union. Deloitte Consulting will present on the Transparent, Inclusive, Efficiency Review study business cases at 1 p.m. in the Sun Room.

BIKE SHARE

BENEFITS Alternative transportion solves future ISU congestion It is no secret that there is a serious congestion issue on campus as far as the number of students during the passing hour goes. There are bikes, buses, skateboards and people speeding in every direction. This can be quite discouraging when trying to get to class on time. CyRide is often too full to catch the bus on your first attempt, or you are stuck walking behind those people on campus that stroll around like they have no place to be. This is why implementing a bike share program on Iowa State’s campus would have been a progressive measure. Unfortunately, the bike share bill was voted down, although the vote was close. Approximately $5,500 has already been spent to have industrial design and electrical and mechanical engineering students work on prototypes of these bicycles, while also getting hands on training. A bill was brought to the table to ask for another $7,477.39 to continue working on finding the bike prototypes wanted. Money is always a concern for students, but with the bike share program, it is possible that the first half hour of use would more than likely be free. After that, the longer the bike is kept, the more the student will be charged. This is a simple plan, considering the cost of keeping the bike would hopefully help eliminate bike theft. Also, it should take much less than half an hour on a bike to get anywhere on campus. If you are taking a bike from one building on campus to another and you make it in less than 30 minutes, the bike ride is free. One of the concerns is how our campus would handle more traffic. With the rate at which new students have been coming and the amount of people hurrying from class to class, it is possible that CyRide will no longer be able to travel on Morrill and Osborne roads in the near future. That being the case, the next fastest way to get across campus

would be by bike. If it comes to be that CyRide is no longer able to go down these congested roads, the routes could be used for bike lanes which would hopefully lead to fewer bikes on the sidewalks. Many larger cities such as Chicago and Minnesota have been using a bike share system and the programs have been successful, so the proposed system is already tailored to work on a campus with this level of congestion. So many students have been involved with the process of getting bike share on its feet and should not have to see their work go unrewarded. GSB President Hillary Kletscher — whose guest column is below — has been working on the bike share program for more than a year and the engineers working on prototypes should not have their hard work wasted. Adding a bike share program is not an added congestion threat but instead a quick and economical way to get from class to class. If students have any comments or concerns about the bike share program at Iowa State, contact Nick Terhall, director of student affairs. Bike share has the chance to move our campus in a progressive direction, but that is not going to happen if the students do not stand up for what they want and express their desire to establish the program.

GUEST COLUMN

Bike sharing would solve overcrowding By Hillary Kletscher, president of the Government of the Student Body The ISU bike share program idea began in fall 2012 from multiple sources, including students and other Big 12 student governments. Spencer Hughes, former president of the Government of the Student Body, and I campaigned on bringing bike share to Iowa State in spring 2013. Collaborative exploration of the initiative by the GSB legislative and executive branches began a little more than a year ago, but we really gained ground and tangible action when the industrial design department had a studio

course focused on designing a custom bike share program for Iowa State. By May 2014, industrial design students had collaborated to design three unique bicycle prototypes, each with a different look and feel. This fall, the focus is on producing two completely workable prototypes that have the ability to be scaled up if Iowa State decides to implement the program. Other major work will include an overall assessment of feasibility, including bicycle checkout locations, bicycle safety, the user experience and integration into campus infrastructure. Students from multiple disciplines — industrial design, mechanical engineering and

community and regional planning — are collaborating to take bike share program research to the next level. This collaborative research and innovative approach couldn’t come at a better time. As students, we are feeling the pressures of increased enrollment. We can see the students who watch as CyRide buses drive by because they are already full. We can see the full tables and long lines in the Memorial Union during lunch. We can see the full sidewalks, full computer labs and full library. Two weeks into classes, a noticeable buzz of conversation about enrollment and the problems it is creating — especially in in-

frastructure — is grabbing my attention, the Government of the Student Body’s attention and administration’s attention. It’s time for a new approach. It’s time for an innovative solution. I believe the research being done now can determine if a bike share program is that solution. I think research and a full feasibility study is an integral part of determining if this student-led initiative will be the answer for Iowa State. I also think that a bike share program has strong potential to be a part of the solution to oncampus congestion. Sixty percent of the traffic on campus is CyRide buses, and they often fol-

low one after another. Pedestrians often walk in front of the buses as bicycles zoom by. We have the same infrastructure to get students to and around campus as we had 10,000 students ago. We need bike lanes. We need bicyclists to not ride on the sidewalk. We need to limit vehicle traffic on campus to ensure everyone stays safe. We need to reduce the number of students bringing bicycles to campus. We need to ensure CyRide is meeting the needs of students. Over time, a bike share program would reduce the number of bicycles students would bring to campus. It would create another student choice

for public transportation beyond CyRide. If CyRide routes on campus need to change, a bike share program could fill the need for transportation from one corner to the other. A program would invest student fees into a project that has the potential to benefit thousands of students rather than a select few. A bike share program would provide another opportunity for us to engage in wellness because it would be easy to grab a bike and go for a ride with friends. A bike share program can be an innovative student-led, student-designed solution. A solution for the students and by the students has my support, and I hope it has yours, too.

Height, athleticism helps Cyclones By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com Strategy, experience and execution all play important roles on a successful volleyball team, but as is the case in most sports, athleticism is the great equalizer. Early in the season, as ISU head coach Christy J o h n s o n - L y n c h e x p e r iments with different lineups and attack strategies in search of her squad’s optimal identity, the ISU volleyball team (3-2, 0-0 Big 12) has relied on the athleticism of its front line to intimidate opponents and fill up the stat sheet. “We have some really nice athletes and we have really good size at every position,” Johnson-Lynch said. The ISU front line boasts 6-footers across the board. Former All-American Honorable Mention selections junior Mackenzie Bigbee and senior Victoria Hurtt stand 6-foot-1-inch and 6-foot-2-inch, respectively, and both have dynamic leaping ability at the hitter position. They are complimented by 6-foot-3-inch sophomore hitter Ciara Capezio, who has come on strong early in the season after battling back from surgery in February to remove a pinched nerve in her foot. “It was a tough first season for [Capezio] and we asked a lot of her,” JohnsonLynch said. “I think she is just that much more prepared this year.” Capezio tallied 38 kills for the Cyclones in the course of three ISU victories in the Iowa State Challenge, including 17 kills against

attack, which Capezio said is more complicated than simply sprinting to the net and hammering the volleyball down onto the other side of the court. Attacks come in various forms, including the go, the four and the gap, all of which are designed to

Northern Illinois in the final match of the weekend. “She was kind of in the zone Saturday,” JohnsonLynch said of Capezio. “We have really asked her to be low error, so we focus on that every day in practice.” Minimizing errors is a key aspect to the art of the

exploit a particular area of the opposing defense. “I’ve learned that there is so much more to the game. It is not just your side. It is reading the other side,” said freshman middle-blocker Alexis Conaway, who has stepped into a prominent role on the front line early in

her career. “I’ve been working on being smarter and learning when you should take those swings.” The 6-foot Conaway has already built up a reputation for flying around the court making acrobatic plays. She said it is hard to discern how much of the splitsecond decision making process, which happens in mid-air, relies on conscious thought and how much of it relies on pure instinct. “The more you play, the more your thoughts just become instinct in the game,” Conaway said. “My goal is to be available all the time and be aggressive. Once you are, those other shots will open up.” Johnson-Lynch said that as important as practice and guidance are to Conaway and her frontcourt counterparts, much of what they exhibit during matches is rooted in inherent skill. “A lot of what [Conaway] does is just natural instinct and not necessarily coached,” JohnsonLynch said. “Her athletic ability allows her to do some pretty special things and we have several athletes like that on the court now.” Capezio said the mentality and production of the entire front-line adds a dimension of intimidation to the Cyclones’ arsenal, as opponents get a first-hand preview of what they must overcome during warm-ups. “It is a great quality that we have,” Capezio said. “Many teams kind of just play and they do not have that bond to push each other. We push each other just as hard in practice as we get pushed in games.”

ISU offense improves in face of adversity, adjusts to coaches By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com

Achilles tendon against the Wildcats. Two games into the season, the team has yet to find the win column and players appear to be dropping like flies. However, after taking No. 20 Kansas State down to the wire, the team isn’t shying away from the challenge. “It’s athletics, there’s going to be adversity,” said coach Paul Rhoads. “From week one to week two, I’m pleased with how we faced adversity.” With receiver Quenton Bundrage out, senior Jarvis West stepped up in a big way for the Cyclones. He grabbed a receiving touchdown and returned a punt return for a touchdown before throwing a touchdown. The group adapted quickly with five receivers catching balls against Kansas State and four of them hauling in at least three passes each. Much of offense’s success can be attrib-

With six new coaches on the ISU football staff, there was bound to be some hiccups in the first few games of the 2014 season. Just four plays into the 2014 season, the Cyclones were forced to adapt as the team’s leading wide receiver, Quenton Bundrage, went down with a seasonending injury. Only 10 minutes later in the game, the team’s unquestioned leader and four-year starting lineman, Tom Farniok, went down with an injury that kept him out the rest of the game. Farniok’s former backup, Ben Loth, didn’t see the field after suffering a season-ending injury in fall camp. Then left tackle Jacob Gannon left the team for personal reasons two days before ISU football tokk on Kansas State and linebacker Levi Peters tore his

uted to quarterback Sam Richardson’s improvements from last season. After dealing with adversity across the offensive line all of last season, Richardson has responded better this year to injuries. “I feel like it happens quite a lot,” Richardson said of facing adversity. “Obviously this year we’ve lost quite a few guys, especially on the O-line. It’s something you have to deal with.” For Richardson, who has completed 67.2 percent of his passes this season, adversity is the last thing on his mind. Even after Farniok went out with an injury against North Dakota State, Richardson did all he could. “There’s too much stuff to think about on the football field and obviously that can’t be one of them,” Richardson said. As the Cyclones prepare to head to Iowa City to take on their in-state rivals, the Hawkeyes are facing some of their own obstacles

Redshirt sophomore linebacker Levi Peters was helped off the field during the Kansas State game Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium. The Cyclones led for much of the game but couldn’t maintain their lead in the second half.

this week. After injuring his knee against Ball State las Saturday, All-American lineman Brandon Scherff is listed as day-to-day and defensive end Drew Ott was involved in a motorized scooter accident Monday that sent him to the hospital, although he is expected to play in the game on Saturday. Scherff is widely considered a top-10 pick by NFL draft experts and is the anchor along the stout Iowa offensive line. Although he is listed as day-to-day, he is not expected to play against Iowa State. For the Cyclones, it’s all about improvement, and Rhoads has seen that on both sides of the ball. After facing their fair share of adversity in the first two weeks, the Cyclones are ready to take on another one. “We did improve,” Rhoads said. “With that improvement, even in a loss, you’ll go into the next week with more confidence as players and more credibility as coaches.”

Jevohn Miller’s growing role After three years of playing Will, or weakside linebacker, Rhoads moved Jevohn Miller to Mike, or middle linebacker, against Kansas State. Known as the “quarterback of the defense,” Mike linebackers are often the leaders of the defense, a quality Miller lacked in previous years. “I don’t think I would have ever seen Jevohn as a leader, and that’s not a knock on him,” Rhoads said. “Right now without question, he and Cory Morrissey are the leaders of our defense.” After years of playing with leaders like Jake Knott, A.J. Klein and Jeremiah George, Miller finally stepped into a leadership role on defense. He organized a players’ meeting before taking on Kansas State

and played a good game in his first appearance as Mike linebacker. “We were a lot better defensive team against KState and I think that just comes with experience and working together,” Miller said. “We communicated a lot better. We dramatically improved in that aspect.” Rhoads said there is no question Miller will be back at the position against Iowa.

Building a good relationship with your roommate is an important component to mental stability and emotional health. Following the below tips can help you avoid serious conflicts.

DEALING WITH ROOMATES Prepare for problems ahead of time, avoid serious arguments By Rachel.Geronimo @iowastatedaily.com

We are all familiar with the feeling of meeting new people, but living with a stranger is a different scenario. Building relationships is an important component to mental stability and emotional health. Here is a guide on healthy ways to build a relationship with your new roommate. COMMUNICATE One of the keys to getting to know your roommate is communication. Do some activities where you’re able to interact with each other. Whether that’s participating in outdoor activities, playing video games or going to an event, it’s good to understand the person with whom you’re living. “If they’re new or if you don’t have a relationship with them, go out with

them,” said Thomas Berry, senior in civil engineering. Theresa Gruetzmacher, senior in interior design and architecture, suggests that readers should avoid activities that don’t involve interaction. “Movies won’t be a good one because you’re not communicating. Go out to dinner, or maybe a walk around the park.” SETTING BOUNDARIES

Before moving in with a roommate, it’s important to lay the lines of what is right and wrong. “The most important thing is just to try, try to have those first conversations,” said Sally Deter, coordinator of residence life at the Department of Residence. “It may not be the best conversation but they will count in the future.” Deter recommended establishing any important rules of which roommates should know. If you are a cleanly person, remind him or her that you like having a clean environment. KNOW THE PROBLEM There will be times where the boat

USING “I” INSTEAD OF “YOU”

will rock and when that happens, you want to take action immediately. Deter stressed that individuals should identify the problem once it happens, what the issue is and how they want the behavior to change. “Whatever the issue is, the sooner to the actual incident, the better feedback they’ll get,” Deter said. She also believes that the person who has a problem should be able to offer alternatives or suggestions on making the situation better instead of escalating it and taking anger out on each other.

Sometimes there are more positive ways to approach people with whom you have a problem. Deters advised approaching a conflict with “I” statements. “You are so messy, you never pick up anything, you never clean the room.” Instead of using accusations, alternatives could be “I like my environment to be more orderly because when I’m studying, if I see that there’s a mess, I feel the need to clean up the mess instead of studying.”

ENDING THE CONFLICT

THIS WON’T BE THE LAST TIME

It’s hard to understand a conflict once it begins, but working together to find a common solution is a positive and healthy way to dispose of a conflict. Berry reaches out by suggesting that an individual should be calm and cohesive when addressing a problem. “Make your point through your words and articulate, don’t raise your voice or be intimidating,” Berry said. Berry suggests that readers should reach out to the problem in a mature way, and use the Golden Rule, treat others the way you want to be treated.

It’s difficult knowing that this problem can really affect a person, but know that difficult situations will only make a person better. “This isn’t going to be the [last] time that you’re going to be living with somebody, and it’s not going to be the [last] time that you’ll have a conflict with somebody,” said Brittney Rutherford, in charge of marketing communications at the Department of Residence. “If you learn those skills now, it’s only going to help you as you go in your professional and personal life.”

ISU graduate loses weight in healthy way, shares advice By Jasmine.Scillenger @iowastatedaily.com What would it be like to face rejection from a social situation because of your weight? This is exactly what Nathan Irmiter, ISU graduate in geology, experienced before his inspiring weight loss transformation. Irmiter started his journey to lose weight after learning from his doctor that he had a high content of sugar going through his body that wasn’t being properly filtered out. After completing further tests, the doctor told him if he didn’t start changing his eating and diet habits that he was going to have serious problems with it in the future. “About a month before the end of my senior year, I had cleaned up my diet and started doing a vigorous amount of forkdowns and spoon-outs [portion control],” Irmiter said. Irmiter made the conscious decision to fully commit to this lifechanging decision after getting back from the Teton Mountain Range in Wyoming the summer before starting college. “I remember having a moment of clarity sweating my ass off in a path called the Garnet Canyon,” Irmiter said. “Something along the lines of ... this is

too beautiful to miss out on for cheesecake.” He started running. Everyday, he ran. What first was just a mile at night became four miles and what became four miles became a life-changing journey he vowed never to return from. “I didn’t have a routine whatsoever,” Irmiter said. “I should have, but I didn’t really understand enough about exercise at the time to know I needed one.” But the only routine Irmiter needed was motivation. With portion control and exercise, he was shedding the pounds. At his heaviest, he weighed roughly 240 pounds and within four or five months, he had lost a grand total of 70 pounds. Today, Irmiter is keeping up with his healthy habits. He has picked up a new yoga hobby, and even competed in half-marathons this past year. This journey has been not only physically life changing but also mentally and socially as well. Irmiter suffers from clinical depression and moderate to severe social anxiety. Although he’s had these conditions most of his life, he noticed how much more present the symptoms were before his weight loss. “I spent a lot of time being irrationally pissed off or not know how to talk

to people, not making an attempt just because I assumed they wouldn’t give me the time of day,” he said. Irmiter admitted there are the occasional ‘I want pizza and beer in my mouth now’ kind of nights and pointed out that portion control is key. He advised people who are trying to lose weight to set reasonable goals for themselves, ones they know they can accomplish. “Find something that inspires you and keep it on your mind as you go,” Irmiter said. “It doesn’t matter what it is — your family, friends, significant other — as long as it’s important to you.” For those of you who might be scared to start your own journey because of what others will think, Irmiter had a piece of advice for you, too. “Nobody looks pretty working out. Not even the people who color coordinate their workout outfits,” Irmiter said. “So if others care that you might be bigger and trying to improve yourself, forget them. “What’s beyond your front door is one of the scariest concepts when you’re deeply depressed. Working through [that] is the first step to really becoming the man or woman that you want to see in the mirror versus the one you

are.” Running is what helped strengthen Irmiter mentally. He found that having that alone time each day was invaluable for his mental health. “It goes farther than knowing that you’re capable of improving yourself on a purely physical level,” Irmiter said. “There’s a solemn personal strength you gain from kicking your ass up and down the block a few hundred times purely for your own benefit.” He explained how strange it feels to now know both sides of the two-sided coin. The journey is one he would like to share with others , but at the same time, let them know that this journey is so much deeper than the physical. Irmiter’s story is not one that suggests losing weight provides value, it is losing fear. “Being unhealthy doesn’t mean someone is a bad person, just like being healthy doesn’t make someone a good person,” Irmiter said. “Everyone has intrinsic value, period.”

for each bike. Another major concern and reason senators voted not to fund the bike share program this semester was because they were unsure whether or not the university’s infrastructure could handle the buses, increased students and bikes already on campus without adding 300 more bikes and bike racks. Many senators wanted a feasibility study done before they decided to fund the project, asking the committee and the class members to create a new proposal for the spring semester. Both Kargol and Kletscher stressed that since the program is being implemented and designed by students already in the class, CRP students could handle a feasibility study instead of bringing in a separate company and paying up to $30,000 for a study. “I i n s t r u c t e d t h e m anything goes, not to sit and think that because it’s been that way for the last 40 years that it has to stay that way,” Kargol said. “Then they look for solutions that could be either added to the system or rerouting things or changing usage of roads or pathways, adding pathways.” Kletscher said that there would be discussion about adding bike lanes down main roads. When senators brought up the topic of bike safety, Kletscher said adding those bike lanes and paths across

campus would cut down on bikes on sidewalks. Since it is illegal for bikes to be on sidewalks on campus — a little known fact — bicyclists would travel the paths and not have to weave through students, risking running into a student on foot. Not only would the program benefit those getting hands-on learning experience and those using the program, Kletscher said other universities are taking notice of the program. “In terms of our university, it’s putting Iowa State on the map for the College of Design, adding more value to our degrees,” Kletscher said. “We’ve had a lot of other universities contact us and say, ‘You’re designing your own bike share program? Can we buy that from you?’” Kargol said that the class came to GSB for funding because it was a GSB initiative. However, he said it is now looking at other funding from private donors, the university and grants. Plans will carry on, Kargol said. “The campus is very crowded, and it’s causing a lot of issues. From what I’ve seen, there have been no suggestions put out there for fixing the problem,” Kargol said. “I feel like bike share is a program that students can bring to the university that will help mitigate some of the crowding. “I don’t want to say that students should have to answer the question, but why not?”

“The new fixed pricing will help with student debt on the front end, but we need to deal with the excessive debt that can be accumulated through an academic career,” Branstad said. “We plan to work with the legislature to create a student debt reorganization tax credit.” The governor proposed that a tax credit be created and awarded to Iowa student taxpayers who make voluntary cash contributions to student debt reduction organizations that buy down debt for those who participate in community service volunteer activities. Dozens of ISU students filled the Gallery Room to see the governor. Some agreed that regardless of party affiliation, anything that affects student tuition is important. “Obviously tuition af-

fects everyone, whether you’re interested in politics or not,” said Mallory Earll, sophomore in political science. “Everyone has to deal with college debt; all students have to face that. Even if you’re not interested in politics, everyone thinks it’s important to know where your money is going and how it’s being spent.” In response to Branstad’s two policy proposals, Earll said she was excited to see what else the governor has planned if he is re-elected this November. After implementing policies like the tuition freeze, she said she has trust in him to follow through with his promises related to education. Other students came because they felt it was important to be informed. “I think people stay

away from anything political just because they don’t like politics,” said Kaylie Reicks, sophomore in agricultural business. “They don’t want to get involved and they don’t think it affects their lives. It actually does. I think it’s really important to be informed about what the government is doing. I hope they actually can be informed and not just vote based on party.” Gov. Branstad is expected to speak in Ames again Wednesday. Branstad and ISU President Steven Leath are expected to make remarks at the groundbreaking ceremony for a new Economic Development Core Facility at the ISU research park. The ceremony is from 4 to 6 p.m. with a short program for speakers at 5 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

closure of Welch Avenue between Hunt and Chamberlain streets on Sept. 26. Dinkey Day will take place from 5 to 9 p.m. Sept. 26. The event celebrates the Dinkey, Ames’ historic passenger train that transported students and professors to campus from the city of Ames in the early 1900s. The event is conjoined with the Ames Sesquicentennial Celebration, which recognizes Ames’ 150 years as a city. Some ISU student groups will be able to sell items at the celebration to recover lost revenue that would have been made during Veishea. An events coordinator

representative informed the council that a large crowd is expected and that the event will be a success. The motion was carried and the request for the closure of Welch Avenue was approved. The council moved on to discuss the closure of Douglas Avenue between Fifth and Sixth streets between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. for the grand reopening of the public library Sunday. Gartin brought forth a concern for the businesses that may be affected and that they may be contacted prior to the event. The council voted and the resolution for the special event passed. The first item of business was a proclamation

for Addiction Recover y Month, which takes place in September and is dedicated to the awareness and improvement of those who suffer from addictions. It was also brought to the attention of the council that the carbon footprint has been increasing in the city of Ames because of the increased use of CyRide. With a greater enrollment n u m b e r, r i d e r s h i p o n CyRide is also drastically increasing. Because of this, the buses are decreasing in efficiency and increasing carbon usage. Although the council took no action on this matter at this time, it has made it known that it is aware of it and will work on that problem in the near future.

Bike share then became a program for the students to use for transportation and to use for hands-on learning experiences. Ka rg o l h a d w a n t e d his design students to do a project for an international bike competition for the last spring semester. “I felt like it would be something the students could do to contribute to campus,” Kargol said. “It was also an opportunity that really had never been done before by students. There are bike share programs on campuses across the country, but there’s no system that students designed in its entirety.” About 20 industrial design students made up the class last semester. By this semester, the students from mechanical and electrical engineering had picked up the class along with five students from community and regional planning. During Sept. 3’s Senate meeting, many senators voiced their concern that while the program may be a good idea, the reality was that students just would not use the bikes over other transportation, such as CyRide buses. However, Kletscher said the CyRide system will have to change because of the increased population on campus, regardless of whether or not there is a bike share program. “We’re going to talk about the longterm future

of CyRide,” Kletscher said. “Currently, if you go out on campus, about 60 percent of our traffic on campus is buses. The infrastructure of how we handle buses on campus hasn’t changed in 15 years, but we’ve added like 10,000 students.” Kletscher said that she and members of administration discussed the fact that there may be so many students walking across Morrill Road and Osborn Drive that CyRide could no longer travel through them. Then the buses would have to travel on the outer roads of campus, Kletscher said. “At that point, everyone’s going to want a bicycle,” Kletscher said. “It’s going to be something that’s more desired. Having that other option of public transportation, to me, is important.” Kletscher said the program can also encourage health and wellness, so students can easily check out a bike, run errands around town or bike with friends and return it. As for whether or not the bikes would gather at one docking station, Nick Terhall, head of the GSB bike share committee, discussed the option of having an app that students could download. When bikes built up at one rack, they would get a notification to ferry bikes to a different docking station. The volunteers would be credited 10 or 20 cents to their CyCash via their ISUCards at the docking station

BRANSTAD p1 “We know that some degrees require a longer time frame and more significant on-campus workload. So for those degrees, maybe it can’t be done with $10,000. But we want create a discount, maybe 50 percent of what tuition might otherwise be,” Branstad said. “I already talked to Bruce Rastetter, president of the Board of Regents. We recognized this as something that would have to be approved by the board.” A second policy proposal from the governor aims to tackle student debt. The governor said the average student is now leaving college with 63 percent more student debt than graduates a decade ago. He then announced the Student Debt Reduction Organization tax credit.

CITY COUNCIL p1 greatly benefit. By adopting new flood maps, the city would be able to develop on existing floodplains. However, some members of the community did not approve of the request. One member of the local community voiced a concern on building on floodplains, expressing fear that the city would be unable to protect the citizens from suffering from flood damage in 100 and 500 year floods. Despite the concern, City Council approved the motion and the action was passed. The council also discussed Dinkey Day. Celebrations will require the
