Melon Mania participants smash fruit for fundraiser By Kenzi.Mongar @iowastatedaily.com Smashed melons littered Central Campus on Thursday after students drop-kicked melons in the name of charity. Establish & Grow, a philanthropy organized by ISU students and staff, created Melon Mania to raise money for children in Uganda. The event took place from 4 to 9 p.m. on Central Campus and provided an estimated 2,000 melons to be used for carnival games. A single melon could be purchased for $2 or three melons for $5. Game-winners received tickets that could be used in raffles to win items such as university apparel, gift cards, coupons and board games. As for the melons, they didn’t go to waste. “All of these melons are grown at Iowa State by students and staff,” said Cole Staudt, sophomore in political science and the public relations director for Establish & Grow. “Since research is done to the melons, they can’t be eaten and most will go to waste anyway so we decided to have fun with them and raise some money before they go to compost.” Activities included melon bowling, melon sculp-

Robert Nichols, senior in mechanical engineering, smashes a melon with his unicycle during Melon Mania on Thursday on Central Campus in effort to raise money for children in Uganda.

While most seniors order their drinks on the weekends, senior Taylor Sondrol is busy making them. Sondrol, a fifth year senior in event management, helps run The Bar on Wheeler Street with her mother, Cheryl. “Typically, bartenders and owners are male,” Cheryl said. “I don’t know of very many women who run bars. I think it’s a good position for women to be in.” Taylor is The Bar’s manager. She said she is able to apply what she is learning in her classes to the position she holds at The Bar. “How can I use this in my current job now? How can I use this technique? How can I make better customer service?” Taylor said of the questions she asks herself during class. Taylor spends her time at the bar making schedules and leading her team from what she learned in class. She has had two prime examples in her life: her parents, Danny and Cheryl Sondrol. “They are great role models,” Taylor said of her parents. “They’ve owned businesses their whole adult lives.” The bar business is nothing

foreign to the Sondrols. Cheryl and Danny were both born in Ames, Iowa. Cheryl’s mother, Mary Maitland, owned a number of bars in both Ames and New York, where they lived for a number of years. They moved back to Ames after Cheryl’s mother and stepfather divorced. Upon their return to Ames, Cheryl and her mother decided to open New York West, a local night club. “When I walked in, I didn’t even know how to pour a beer,” Cheryl said about running New York West with her mother. As New York West developed from a discotec to a strip club, Maitland began visiting other local bars in the area. Checking out the competition is a crucial part of the bar business, Cheryl said. This is when Maitland came across an Ames icon: Tip Top Lounge. That is where Maitland met Danny Sondrol. Danny purchased Tip Top Lounge in 1982 after being discharged from the Navy. At the time, he was 22 years old and was trying to run a bar that had already been established for several years. “The first years were tough

Professor develops ‘world’s purest’ vodka By Erin.Malloy @iowastatedaily.com A new vodka developed by an Iowa State professor guarantees to leave consumers with less of a hangover the next morning compared to any other brand. Johannes van Leeuwen, a professor in the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering, has succeeded in developing the purest vodka in the world. Van Leeuwen said the vodka is fully produced in Iowa with Iowa corn and by Iowa entrepreneurs. IngeniOz—a combina-

tion of “ingenious” and “ozone”—has established an unmatched standard for vodka. Van Leeuwen, originally born in Gouda, Netherlands, lived in South Africa and Australia before moving to the United States in 2000. He developed an interest in distillation from his brother, who made Moonshine with a distillation kit when they lived in South Africa [where making Moonshine is legal]. Using ozonation, a process utilizing ultraviolet light for water purification is something van Leeuwen has been doing all of his professional life. The idea to

apply it to alcohol occurred to him 10 years ago. “The idea just hit me— maybe it can also work in alcohol?” said van Leeuwen. “Nobody’s ever tried that, and bingo—it works!” The distillation of alcohol was discovered about 1,200 years ago by an Arab alchemist, van Leeuwen said, and it has improved somewhat since then. It is still the same concept. “This is the first additional technology to distillation in 1,200 years to improve alcohol products,” van Leeuwen said, an achievement that awarded him the title of Innovator of the Year in 2009 by R&D Magazine. Van Leeuwen and his team began researching the ozone purification process of alcohol in 2006. Jacek Koziel, associate professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering, made an important contribution to the research by using sensitive analytical equipment to determine the presence of impurities in vodka. Koziel’s equipment combined advanced separation techniques along with the trained human nose, which enabled the development of the purification process. Van Leeuwen and his researchers won the Grand Prize for University Research for their process in 2007 from the American Academy of Environmental Engineers. “Since then, we’ve still been working on it and refining it [to be] better,” van Leeuwen said. The purification process is a way of removing impurities by adding oxygen to the impurity molecule, and then the oxygenadded product can be removed by activated carbon and nano-gold filtration,

Professor Johannes van Leeuwen is the creator of IngeniOz, an impurity-free vodka that supposedly reduces hangovers for drinkers. The process uses ultraviolet light used for water purification to distill the alcohol.

van Leeuwen said. Ozone alone does not oxidize the impurities in alcohol away—it just changes them in a way they can then be removed more easily, said van Leeuwen. Through ozone oxidation, activated carbon adsorption, and nano-noble-metal filtration, van Leeuwen achieved the point where there were no impurities left. Impurities, or congeners, are the toxic chemicals formed during fermentation. According to research, the amount of congeners consumed contributes to the negative physical effects resulting from excessive drinking. The fewer the congeners, the less of a hangover consumers experience. While alcohol remains the main cause of hangover effects, removing all impurities can help, van Leeuwen said. “At the same time, nobody should ever drink to the point where they get a

hangover, and you won’t have that problem anyway,” van Leeuwen said. “Alcohol should always be used in moderation.” Based on tests conducted on other vodkas for van Leeuwen’s research, Titos was found to have the highest number of impurities with 49, Ciroc with 39 and Absolut with 16. A list of the impurities in 14 top vodka brands is attached to each bottle of IngeniOz. Van Leeuwen said that the significance of this new purification process extends beyond supplying the “prudent vodka drinker” with as pure of vodka as possible. Along with the scientific reasons for decreasing hangover effects, IngeniOz also creates another opportunity for an additional byproduct of the corn in Iowa. “Iowa is the largest producer of corn in the world, but Iowa is not particularly known for making more byproducts out of the corn,”

van Leeuwen said. “Having this additional product coming out of Iowa, rather than importers from all over the world, keeps the buck in Iowa and also creates job opportunities.” Launched by Oz Spirits, LLC, IngeniOz is purified and bottled out of Iowa Distilling Co. in Cumming, Iowa. Currently it is only being sold in Iowa. A 750 ml bottle sells for about $24. In order to best appreciate the quality and smoothness of the vodka, van Leeuwen recommends drinking IngeniOz neat (undiluted) or by diluting it 1:1 with water. Evan Chiappinelli, senior in design, was eager to try IngeniOz neat after van Leeuwen recommended it. After taking his first sip, his reaction was as clear as the vodka itself. “Oh my god. It’s super smooth, super sweet. It tastes exactly how vodka should taste,” said Chiappinelli.

They help guide me, so they’re a powerful group.” Students can also speak with their IRHA representatives with any concerns or suggestions.

Monica Diaz talks to members of the Atheist and Agnostic Society on Thursday at its weekly booth in the free-speech zone in front of the library.

Ask an Atheist Secular club welcomes all By Emily.Eppens @iowastatedaily.com At the free-speech zone near Parks Library and the Hub, members of the Atheist and Agnostic Society stood at their booth answering questions and giving information to students passing by. Every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the club sets up its booth, “Ask an Athe-

ist.” On the booth, there are multiple pamphlets, resources and a sign-up sheet so students can receive emails about speakers and events the club hosts throughout the year. Atheism is the lack of belief in gods, according to atheists.org. An agnostic is a person who does not have a definite belief in God and believes there is no way to prove a God exists, according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Alexandra Mielke, junior in psychology and the president of the club, says that the group’s goal is to

speak out for the atheists, agnostics and people who are still discovering what they believe. “There [are] actually not as many [atheists] on campus as people think,” Mielke said. “Christians make up a majority of the American population, a fact I don’t think a lot of people know.” There are about 24 groups on campus registered as Christian or the belief in one God while the Atheist and Agnostic Society is the only registered secular group. Christjahn Beck, se-

nior in political science and club vice president, said he hopes that the group will be encouraging to others who struggle with their belief systems. “People think we’re strange sometimes because they don’t understand how you can have a club about not believing in anything,” Beck said. “We get a lot of questions asking us what we believe.” The group meets in the Memorial Union on Monday nights and acts as a support and discussion group for students who are atheist or agnostic.

Throughout the school year, the group has various speakers, including Dan Barker, president of the Freedom of Religion organization. The group discusses how to tell its families about its beliefs, and how to interact with people of different religion. “I joined a couple weeks ago at Clubfest,” said Dallas “Tex” Nicholson, freshman in computer science. “I really wanted to find a secular group that I could connect with. So far, it’s been really cool.” The group has participated in events with some

of the Christian organizations on campus, one of the favorites being “dunk the atheist” outside the Salt Company’s kickoff event in August. The dunk event was a way for the group to raise money for speakers and other club events. “We encourage debate,” Mielke said. “We want to stand out on campus as a group that isn’t harsh or demeaning.” For more information on the Atheist and Agnostic Society and other student groups, visit the ISU student clubs and organizations page.

NextGen brings climate change issue to campuses By Kassi.Manternach @iowastatedaily.com Though Iowa is having record low temperatures, many environmentalists are still concerned about global warming, including Tom Steyer, founder of the NextGen climate organization. NextGen is a nonprofit organization working to bring climate change to the forefront of American politics. It wants to make our country more aware of climate change and encourage climate change to be a leading issue on politicians’ platforms. It has already established campaigns in seven states: Iowa, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Maine, Florida and New Hampshire. Steyer said he understands that climate change is a local issue as well as a global issue. He said he understands that Iowans are

more likely to care about flooding in our communities than a drought in California. Even if we do not particularly care about climate on a global scale, we need to be aware of it on our local level, he said. Wicitra Mahotama, president and founder of Iowa State Environmental Science Club and senior in environmental science, noted that we also need to address the issue on a local level. “Stakeholders show interest to prioritize the environment. Iowa, being an agricultural state, the stake holders are the farmers,” Mahotama said. “So when Iowan farmers are interested in climate change and advocate for environmental law and policy to protect the environment, then political parties will have an influence.” NextGen has recruited 450 volunteers throughout the state of Iowa. “It’s not just under-

standing the problem, it is thinking it is important,” Steyer said. Many people do not realize how much of a pressing issue climate change is in our world today, Steyer said. It is easy for older generations to say it is not their problem and overlook the issue, he said. This is part of the reason NextGen is targeting Iowa State and other college campuses. “For people under 30, this is the biggest issue,” Steyer said. NextGen established a club at Iowa State and it was officially sanctioned Sept 3. They have 50 volunteers on campus and 30 students came to Day of Action on Thursday. NextGen has also signed up 1,000 students as climate voters. NextGen hopes to register a lot of people and carry out conversations between club members and students.

passionate about climate change, driving them to vote on the issue. In the future, NextGen plans to continue building the organization and to actively push the issue of climate change. Steyer said he feels as if this campus and state can have shocking significance to the country. “This is going to be the issue that shapes their

success as a generation,” Steyer said of students. It is important for each person to do their part, and students can make a few simple changes to have a significant impact on climate change. One way to learn, according to Mahotama, is to educate oneself. But students can help change the environment in simple ways, too. An easy

step is to buy a refillable water bottle. Iowa State does a great job with providing stations to refill water bottles, he said. Mahotama said it is important for students to be aware of and vote on climate change issues. Climate change is an issue with which our generation will always be faced. “Love of learning will change climate change.”

Represent ISU with class Don’t ruin reputation in Iowa City

By Katie.Titus @iowastatedaily.com

his weekend marks what could easily be voted the most important football game of the entire year. Statewide fans are choosing sides for Saturday’s big game. Some have been lifelong fans, or if you’re like me, you may have switched sides when you chose your university. Regardless of which team you’re cheering for this weekend, there will more than likely be some back-and-forth banter

with someone on the opposing side. What is important for both sides to remember is to keep that banter friendly. As Iowans, the CyHawk game is a time that all of us can come together to celebrate a common interest: football. In previous years, Iowa and ISU fans have gotten steadily more aggressive toward one another. Fights have broken out at tailgates and even in the stands at the game. Though it is wonderful to have pride in your school, it is not worth physically hurting someone else. Beating up a fan on the sideline is not going to make your team play better on the field. This is a call to action for the students to be safe while traveling to Iowa City this weekend. We have already said in editorials earlier this year that going to the game and getting drunk is not worth spending the night in jail. If you go to jail, that is your own mistake — just be

ready for that to follow you around for the rest of your life. I am suggesting that you be careful by making sure to not misrepresent our university and our values. University of Iowa, however, is known for giving the visiting team a hard time. In fact, it has been recognized for its hostility toward the opposing fans. Last year, a full beer can was thrown at an ISU cheerleader’s head, simply because she had “ISU” on her shirt, according to an article by Iowa Watch. W h e n h e a d i n g ov er t o Iowa City, students should not only try to be safe but also remember to not stoop down to the Iowa fans’ level. We should hold ourselves to a higher standard and create an encouraging and enjoyable environment for football games rather than make fans nervous to come. It is not suggested that we let Iowa bully us from coming to the game — in

fact, I suggest the complete opposite. We should go to the game and represent our school in a classy way. Let’s show Iowa City that we will not be bullied away from coming to watch our football team play. As far as sportsmanship goes, however, we should not go on the road in attempts to cause Hawkeye fans any physical pain. If we expect Iowa fans to show any respect toward us, we must in turn show respect to them. Being disrespectful to the opponents makes us no better than them. We should hold ourselves with class and dignity while visiting other universities. We are all here to celebrate football in the state of Iowa. Having some smack talk back and forth can be fun, but there is a line that should not be crossed and when people are getting hurt or have to worry about their safety, then people are stepping over that line.

Domestic violence calls for airtime By Stephen.Snyder @iowastatedaily.com

omestic violence has been receiving a healthy share of media coverage this week due to a video surfacing that shows former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice striking his fiance – now his wife — in an elevator. I am glad that the nation is now collectively focusing on domestic violence for these brief moments, but I know that all too soon our focus will be shifted in another direction. Such is the side effect of our society’s attention deficit disorder when it comes to social issues. Do you know when it is too late to talk about domestic violence? Right after it happens. In this country, a woman is assaulted by her partner every fifteen seconds. That statistic is horrible enough

on its own, but it does not even factor in the thousands of cases in which a man is assaulted by his partner. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 30 percent of women and 10 percent of men will be physically abused by their intimate partner. Many of those victims will not get local news coverage let alone national attention. This is not an issue that we can write off as someone else’s problem or a distant problem, as the coalition reports that college-aged women are the age group that is most likely to experience domestic violence. This truly says more about college-aged men than it does about women. The worst part of the crime is that many victims never come forward to expose their assaulters or ask for help. Can we blame them? Criminals like Rice walk the streets as free men. Yes, I know that he was not sentenced, but he knows exactly what he is and everyone else does too. A ban from the NFL should be the least of his worries. He should be watching the Ravens play from a prison

cell.

Disregard all the private instances. Disregard all the abuse that we cannot see. The fact is that we watched a man beat his partner in a public place and then we let him walk away from it. Rice may be the new face of domestic violence, but he gets to show that face in public. If our legal system does not convict a man who so blatantly broke the law, how can we convince any other victims that we can protect them? I have no words to express the distance by which we as a nation have missed the mark on this issue. The time to face social issues like domestic violence is before they occur. We cannot just boil it down to thirty seconds of banter on a news network after a famous figure commits the crime. There needs to be constant and persistent learning taking place. There are countless organizations that attempt to educate the public on the dangers of domestic violence and how to prevent it. One such organization in Ames is the Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support, which was

formed by the city of Ames in conjunction with Iowa State in the 1970s. This may be a little early, but I will make sure everyone knows now so there will be no excuse to forget: October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. ISU organizations will be hosting several events to highlight the importance of this issue and raise public awareness. We may think that the solution to this problem is obvious, but we still have not figured it out. I have attended these events in the past and they are almost exclusively attended by women, against whom more than 80 percent of domestic violence crimes are committed. Therefore, I believe it is time for the gender that is predominately responsible for committing these crimes to start showing up. I call on college-aged men: Get yourself out to those events and get yourself educated. How many more of our friends, sisters and mothers will become victims before we step up to end this epidemic? I hope the answer is zero, but sadly, I know all too well that it is not.

President Barack Obama made his official decision Wednesday to send troops into Iraq. Obama announced that 475 ground soldiers would be sent into Iraq and that there are more air strikes planned to hit Iraq and Syria. The reason that the United States has decided to re-involve American troops in Iraq is because of the problems the Middle East is facing with the Islamic State terrorist group. The Islamic State group, as the president pointed out, is neither Islamic nor a state. The group is made of mostly Muslims and is known for its brutality in the Middle East. It not only tortures, rapes and murders, but it also has tried to execute an entire religion via genocide as well as behead two American journalists while issuing threats about executing an additional British journalist. The problem that the Islamic State group is causing in the Middle East needs to be put to an end. If that means the United States is the one who has to put an end to it, then so be it. We have tried stopping the Islamic State group’s attacks through air strikes. The United States has had 150 successful air strikes on Iraq and Syria. This has potential to be a wise move for the United States. It has proven time and time again that there is a government struggle in Iraq. There were problems for the Iraqi people under the rule of Saddam Hussein; it was a struggle when the United States pushed them to form a democracy and there is a religious problem between the Sunni, Shia and Kurds that dates farther back than the existence of the United States. It is safe to say that there has not been peace in the Middle East for a very long time. The corruption of the government in Iraq and the involvement of terrorist groups is spreading from Iraq into other areas of the Middle East. The Islamic State group, which for now is primarily in Iraq and Syria, is beginning to branch out into other countries while continuing to murder innocent people in the most barbaric of ways. If the United States was to not intervene, there is a strong possibility that the Islamic State group could take over most of the Middle East. “We are trying to provide humanitarian support,” Obama said in his announcement on Wednesday. “But we will use force against anyone who threatens us.” The cruel beheadings of two American journalists by the Islamic State group showed America, as well as the rest of the world, that it was putting a target on America’s back. Since the murder of the journalists, Obama and many others in this nation are taking it as a direct threat. The Islamic State group needs to be stopped. The problems in the Middle East are continuing to worsen, and the Islamic State group is going to have a target on its back as long as it threatens the Middle East and the United States. It is time that America steps up and does something to protect the rest of the Middle East as well as itself.

Who will it be? ISU looks for big performer against Iowa

Iowa State vs. Iowa

By Beau.Berkley @iowastatedaily.com

Last five meetings

Where: Iowa City, Iowa When: 2:30 p.m. Venue: Kinnick Stadium TV: ESPN

2013: Iowa 27, Iowa State 21

As Paul Rhoads prepares for his sixth Cy-Hawk game as the head coach of Iowa State, he thinks back to some of the more memorable performances in the series. He thinks back to a few years ago in 2012, when linebacker Jake Knott came down with the game-clinching interception in Iowa City. James White, the running back who scored the game winning touchdown in triple overtime in 2011, also sticks out. Rhoads certainly remembers the performance by quarterback Steele Jantz, who completed 25-of-37 passes for 279 yards and four touchdowns in that same triple overtime victory. And if Rhoads thinks back a little further, back to his days as an assistant coach for Iowa State in the late 1990s, he remembers when Darren Davis ran all over the Hawkeyes in Iowa City, piling up a whopping 244 rushing yards and ending the Hawkeyes’ 15-game winning streak against the Cyclones. Now, in 2014, as Iowa State is set to travel to Iowa City on Saturday and meet Iowa for the 62nd time, there is one question: After dropping two straight games, one to North Dakota State and the other to Kansas State in the waning minutes of the game, who will step up for the Cyclones in their biggest regular season game? How about quarterback Sam Richardson? In his last two games, Richardson has thrown for a total of 336 yards and one touchdown as well as a team-high 123 rushing yards. Richardson also has some Cy-Hawk experience under his belt, throwing for 260 yards and three touchdowns in last year’s 27-21 loss in Ames. “It’s a huge game obviously,” Richardson said. “You’re remembered for your time at Iowa State obviously

2012: Iowa State 9, Iowa 6 2011: Iowa State 44, Iowa 41 (3 OT) 2010: Iowa 35, Iowa State 7 2009: Iowa 35, Iowa State 3

in large part by how you play against Iowa.” Receiver Jarvis West might be the easy choice for many. West is coming off a career game after throwing for a touchdown, receiving a touchdown and returning a punt for a touchdown against Kansas State. Can West put in that kind of effort again? It will be tough. “It’s a team that has a really physical, aggressive defensive line ... they’re experienced guys,” said offensive coordinator Mark Mangino. “Their secondary is athletic, they have a good system that they use there, that they believe in and they operate it pretty well.” To lead the team on defense, it could be defensive end and team captain Cory Morrissey. Whether or not he will line up against Iowa’s star left tackle Brandon Scherff has yet to be determined. Maybe linebacker Jevohn Miller, who racked up 11 total tackles last week, will lead the defense. Maybe it will end up being a team effort. That sounds like something Rhoads wouldn’t mind. “I don’t think careers here are defined by how they play in this game, but it’s certainly one that people in the state can tell you about and remember,” Rhoads said.

Iowa State adjusts to new defensive strategy By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com

The Hat Trick Three things to watch for during Iowa State’s two game Colorado road trip:

Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily

Freshman forward Maribell Morales makes a corner kick during the exhibition game against Omaha on Aug. 15. The Cyclones fell to the Mavericks 2-1. Morales suffered a shoulder injury in the second game of the season.

The ISU defense faced a flurry of attacks in the final 10 minutes of its game against Iowa last weekend and successfully turned the attack away time and time again. They have been rock solid all year, only allowing one opponent to score multiple goals against them. “The defense has been great,” said senior goalkeeper Andrea Swanson. “They’re just all working really hard together, staying organized and playing really solid.” Swanson has also been solid, recording the first shut out of the season against North Dakota State on Sunday. The defense has been one of the team’s main point of emphasis this season. Coming into the season, coach Tony Minatta said the back line of defenders was the backbone of the team. Now, the rest of the squad is pitching in on the defensive end of the field. “We talk about defense a lot,” Minatta said. “Its not just the defenders, it’s the entire team playing defense whenever we don’t have the ball.” The Cyclones will rely on that defense once again this weekend as they head to Colorado for a two-game road trip. First up will be the University of Northern Colorado on Friday followed up by a matchup

1. Maribell Morales — The freshman forward will be making her first appearance in four games after suffering a shoulder injury in the second game of the season. Coach Tony Minatta had said he expects Morales to be a major goal scorer for the Cyclones this season. 2. The Colorado Connection — Watch for the six Colorado players on the ISU roster to step up in their homecoming. Madi Ott, Koree Willer, Kourtney Camy, and head coach Tony Minatta all hail from the state of Colorado, just to name a few. 3. The ISU defense — Iowa State’s defense has only allowed one opponent to score multiple goals against them this season. The defense is playing especially well in recent weeks, allowing only one goal to rival Iowa and recording its first shut out of the season against North Dakota State.

with Denver University on Sunday. Minatta said that Denver is a perennial top-25 team and Northern Colorado is typically a top team in the Big Sky Conference. “We just need to come out hard, play at a high level and play the full 90 minutes,” said junior Haley Albert of the upcoming games. The Cyclones will get a big boost as freshman forward Maribell Morales is healthy again and expected to return to the pitch. Morales, who Minatta expected to be a major goal scorer for the Cyclones this season, suffered a shoulder injury in the second game of the season. Morales’ return comes with an unfortunate trade off as sophomore forward Adalie Schmidt will be out with a dislocated elbow. Schmidt had scored three

goals and one assist while replacing Morales. While the injury news was disappointing to Minatta, he remains confident in the players he will have on the field this weekend. “Each game, it always seems to be a different player stepping up … the way we can play, it can come from anybody at anytime,” Minatta said. The Cyclones are coming off three straight wins, a trend they hope to continue through the weekend. In order to do that, Albert said they will need to move on from the past matches and focus solely on the next match. “Its great that we got those wins, but now we need to forget about them and move on,” Albert said. “We need to stay focused on the next opponent and keep raising our level of play each game.”

Volleyball prepares for first road matches By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa State has encountered the challenges of youth, chemistry and fatigue early in the 2014 season but is set to meet an all too familiar adversary for the first time this season in Minneapolis. That adversary is the road. The ISU volleyball team (3-2, 0-0 Big 12) is headed north to participate in the Diet Coke Classic at the University of Minnesota. The Cyclones will take on Milwaukee first followed by Tulsa and will wrap up their weekend with a showdown against No. 19 Minnesota. ISU head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said that if her team hopes to repeat its recent successes in Hilton Coliseum — where

it claimed the Iowa State Challenge on the strength of three victories in three days — it will require an increased effort in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. “This past weekend we did not necessarily have to play our very best because we were probably more physical than the other teams,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I don’t know if that will be true this weekend.” Johnson-Lynch said that specific aspects of her team’s play must improve, such as its passing that she described as “just average.” She added that the Cyclones must also come through physically in the same ways that helped them win their last three matches. “Our blocking was great. We have to keep that up,” Johnson-Lynch said. “[They are] just some fundamentals but to do them three matches in a row will

“We actually talk about attack errors every single day,” said sophomore Ciara Capezio. “I think we are playing with great intensity.” Johnson-Lynch said maintaining that intensity throughout the weekend will also be key to amassing more victories than defeats during Iowa State’s first weekend away from home. “They are all going to be good teams [and] well coached. They have all had a lot of success,” JohnsonLynch said. “We will have to play very well … two days in a row to win all those matches. I think that will be the challenge.” Iowa State plays its first match at 4:30 p.m. Friday against Milwaukee. Its second and third matches against Tulsa and host team Minnesota are slated for 12:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Saturday, respectively.

be a big challenge.” Iowa State’s athletic frontline averaged 9.5 blocks per match over its last two contests, a vast improvement from the first three matches of the year in which the Cyclones mustered only three blocks per outing. The sudden uptick in what Johnson-Lynch said is one of the statistical areas most crucial to her team’s success did not occur by accident. “[Blocking] is definitely one of our biggest focuses, especially this year,” said junior Mackenzie Bigbee. “I think we’ve worked on it at least every day in practice.” Iowa State’s daily pursuit of mastering the fundamentals has extended well beyond the block. For weeks the team has focused on reducing attack errors along with being defensively sound at the net.

Barquin brings experience Bulls push Cyclones to grow By Mike.Randleman @iowastatedaily.com

By Luke.Manderfield @iowastatedaily.com

In Christie Martens’ 10 seasons at the helm of the ISU women’s golf team, her players have littered the record books and helped revive a program that once languished at the bottom of the Big 12. Many of her players continue to have professional careers but despite the talent that has come through Ames, she thinks her best player may be on the way in the form of Celia Barquin. Barquin, currently the fourth-ranked Spanish amateur, has been featured in the top 20 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings and boasts an international resume that exceeds her years. “She’s probably one of the most accomplished freshmen we’ve had come to our program,” Martens said of the No. 57 ranked amateur. “She has a lot of international experience, representing her country in the Youth Olympics and has played well [at] several different events around the world.” While at Iowa State, Martens has made her mark developing players, many of whome did not hit their full stride until their college years. Barquin, 18, has developed into a talent that can be a key contributor immediately. “I was really impressed with her demeanor on the course when I saw her play in France,” Martens said. “She hits the ball so straight and is a great putter, she’s got that down.” Due to a busy summer in which Barquin competed in six international events — many of which received “Elite,” “A” or “B” grades on the WAGR website — she

and senior Scott Fernandez — who have been able to smooth her transition to a new country and language. “Scott is good because he’s a senior so if I have a problem he can help me,” Barquín said. “Jorge is one of my best friends, we went to the same school, so it’s really, really nice.” All three Spaniards hail from Blume Residence High School in Madrid, a school that claims eight-time PGA Tour winner Sergio Garcia as an alumnus. “Celia went to a great school that combines academics and athletics. Not all players get that experience,” Martens said. Despite Barquin’s limited time on campus to practice with the team, Martens has no doubt in her mind that Barquin will be in the starting lineup in Iowa State’s first tournament next week, the Dick McGuire Invitational. “They haven’t been my best golf days ever, but I think my game is coming,” Barquin said of her first week. “If I keep practicing, things will go the right away. I think I’m ready.”

has only been in Ames for a week. Nonetheless, she has already won over her teammates. “She’s done great, she’s so positive and really fits in. I think she’ll be great for the team,” said teammate Cajsa Persson. “She has experience that others on the team don’t have. She played in the Olympics and a lot of European team championships. Even though she’s a freshman, I think everyone can learn from her.” The tight-knit atmosphere that the Cyclones embody was one of the factors that affected Barquin’s decision to commit to Iowa State when she could have chosen almost any school. “The facilities are really great. I came here because I felt really good when I made the visit. The team is so close and the coaches are really nice,” Barquin said. “It’s my sixth day here, I arrived pretty late, but all the girls on the team are so close.” Another factor that aided Iowa State’s cause during the recruitment process was the two Spanish members on the men’s golf team — freshman Jorge Utrilla

THURSDAY OLE’!

For the last tune-up game before the Big 12 opener against Oklahoma Sept. 19, Iowa State faces a tough task against the North Iowa Bulls. North Iowa plays in the North American Tier III Hockey League, a junior hockey league that mostly consists of players just graduated from high school. The Bulls have been a force to be reckoned with in the NA3HL in recent years, winning back-to-back league championships. “[North Iowa] has been one of the best teams in juniors over the last few years,” said hockey coach Jason Fairman. “They lost a lot of key guys to college, which is the case with any junior team, so I’m not exactly sure what to expect. The team has always played at a fast pace so we have to be ready for whatever they throw at us.” The Cyclones are still trying to figure out some roster spots before the conference opener. With most of the team selected after the Sept. 5 and 6 tryout series against the Huntsville Havoc, there are still a few spots left for players that Fairman wants to evaluate further this weekend. Iowa State will now have a week of practice

on paper, so last year we weren’t going to lose again. We have more experience but it’s important not overlook them, especially with Oklahoma next weekend.” Iowa State’s roster consists of former junior hockey league players. Junior forward Jake Bruhn thinks that the experience will help. “We can never overlook a team,” Bruhn said. “They have a very different team from last year, but they will have speed and size. We are older and more experienced so we will have to make sure that we use that to our advantage.” The Cyclones face off against the North Iowa Bulls at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 12 and 13 at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.

under their belt, which wasn’t the case for its last series. “Everyone now knows the systems, which should give us some more chemistry on the ice,” said senior defenseman and captain Mike Dopko. “We are still building confidence, not everyone is 100 percent with the system yet. These games will be good to test out our team against a competitive opponent.” In recent meetings, the Cyclones have gotten the better of The Bulls. Last year, Iowa State swept North Iowa in two games 4-2 and 7-4. But two years ago, the Cyclones were upset when the Bulls won 5-2. “They surprised us and beat us, we weren’t ready for them,” Dopko said. “We were a lot better team than [North Iowa]

The two led similar lifestyles. They were both in the industry and both had late hours. “He would come in to New York West to see what was going on, what our plans were for New York West,” Cheryl said about Danny’s visits to the club. Danny decided to sell Tip Top Lounge in 1991 after a nine-year run. Danny then used his time to work at New York West alongside Cheryl and her mother. As Danny and Cheryl’s relationship progressed, they decided to marry. Cheryl became pregnant with their daughter, Taylor, shortly after they married. Once Cheryl discovered that she was pregnant, she sold her share of New York West. In 1998, after a few years off, Danny and Cheryl decided to take on a new business endeavor together: The Meeting House. “It took some convincing,” Danny said of Cheryl’s hesitation to open another bar.

She was cancer free. “It’s a newly found life for anybody,” Danny said. After celebrating the news that Cheryl was cancer-free, the owner of The Meeting House decided to walk away. Cheryl had to once again step back into the bar scene and run the business. Once Cher yl began r unning The Meeting House again, she decided

to change the name to The Bar. The Bar got its name due to the fact that whenever somebody would ask where they were going, their response was always “to the bar,” Cheryl said. The Bar is now run and operated by Cheryl and Taylor. The pair works together to provide excellent customer service, Cheryl said. “We just have meeting after meeting after meeting about customer service,” Cheryl said. Taylor takes pride in the team that she leads and is confident that its meetings are paying off. “I can say that my bar has the best customer ser-

Cheryl said that she puts in more than 40 hours a week while Taylor said she puts in 15 to 20 hours per week. “My only real day off is Sundays because we are not open on Sundays,” Cheryl said of her time commitment to The Bar. It is evident that the mother-daughter duo is confident that the time they are investing into The Bar is worth it. “We have it all,” Cheryl said. “It’s a neighborhood bar.

The program also educates women on how to feed themselves and their children. “For every $4.72 we raise, we feed a child in school for an entire year,” Staudt. said. “You buy three melons and you’ve fed that child healthy lunches for a year.” Ugandan public school students typically get a meal of corn porridge that contains about 50 calories. The schools involved with Establish & Grow receive a lunch called Nyoyo that contains 850 calories and combines corn, beans, veg-

etables, iodized salt and oil. This replacement lunch gives kids the nutrition they need. “Close to 300 mothers and children suffer from malnutrition and 62 percent of the clients are children ranging from 6 months to 4 years old,” said Dorothy Masinde, ISU lecturer of horticulture and coordinator of education centers in Uganda. Melon Mania strives to reduce food waste used in research and creates more compost for Iowa State to use aside from supporting Establish & Grow. “At home in Uganda, a

lot of kids go to school and won’t even know if they’ll have lunch on that day,” said Rosemary Bulyaba, graduate student at Iowa State and previous student at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda. Anna Wilcox, junior in nutritional science, and Hannah Darr, senior in global resource systems, attended Melon Mania.

Pop-top canned goods, socks, toiletries and stocking caps are popular donation items. After the game ball run, the cadets will be spending the remainder of the weekend at their Fall Field Training Exercise at Camp Dodge in Johnston. “[The training] allows the cadets to incorporate everything they’ve learned up to this point in class,” Smith said. Smith said a total of 165 cadets will participate in the training this weekend. “It basically seeks to target the cadets developmental instate of the current training that they have so far in the classroom, and

it provides them some confidence in their ability to

conduct operations in any environment,” Smith said.
