DAKOTA ACCESS
Farmers appeal to Iowa Supreme Court BY ZACH.STREUBER @iowastatedaily.com About two miles outside of Ames sits the Dakota Access Pipeline – the subject of an Iowa Supreme Court case. A group of farmers and the Sierra Club environmental interest group argued in the Iowa Supreme Court that Dakota Access’ use of eminent domain for an interstate pipeline violated Iowa’s and the United States’ constitutions on Wednesday. The Dakota Access Pipeline is buried nearly two miles outside of Ames. The pipeline stretches
diagonally across the state of Iowa, covering some 343 miles of the total 1,172 miles between the Bakken and Three Forks production area in North Dakota and the refinery located in Patoka, Illinois. According to Dakota Access, Story County houses the only oil pump station in Iowa. Lawyer William E. Hanigan spoke on behalf of the landowners, arguing the decision of the Iowa Utilities Board to grant Dakota Access eminent domain in Iowa was unconstitutional. According to the Iowa Code, the

Campus convo: ‘Big or small, do you call?’ BY MIKE.BROWN @iowastatedaily.com A university presentation urged people to think whether they are reporting suspicious behavior based off a person’s actions or their physical features. Thursday’s campus conversation, held at 3:30 p.m. at Parks Library, focused on the recent climate surrounding police reporting and call responses. “Big or Small — Do You Call?” featured presentations from Iowa State Police Department (ISUPD) Ofc. Anthony Greiter and Lt. Josh Hale,
as well as Donielle McGruder, vice president of the NAACP student chapter and sophomore in psychology. Hale introduced what they call “bias-based improper reporting.” “We’ll define it as calling the police on somebody based on their characteristics instead of their actions,” Hale said. “Ultimately if a person with different characteristics were doing the same action, would the police still be called?” Hale gave examples of good and bad reporting from citizens.
Regarding improper reporting, they referred to the incident in a Starbucks in Philadelphia where police forced two business partners, who were both black men, to leave the building after management had called them. They compared this to an incident in Clackamas, Oregon, where someone called the police on Rep. Janelle Bynum, who was in the process of completing a door-to-door campaign. When police responded, they were able to

The Iowa Board of Regents approved their 2020 fiscal year funding request Thursday, which asks the state legislature to increase funding to regent universities by more than $20 million. Two other major funding requests passed including funding for library modernization and deferred maintenance and the $75 million Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (VDL) were approved by the regents. The $7 million funding increase is part of the $628.4 million funding request for the 2020 fiscal year between the three regent universities. Between the universities, the overall increase would be approximately $20 million, which the board requests from the state legislature each year. If approved by the legislature, it would represent a 3.3 percent increase over previous years. The last two funding requests, which were smaller increases than this, were denied. Iowa State’s request for permission to build the new VDL was approved by the board. The $75 million project, funded by state appropriations, private givings and university funds, will update and modernize Iowa State’s current VDL. The VDL at Iowa State is the only one of its kind in the state and hasn’t been updated for more than 42 years. The plans for the VDL originally set the cost estimation for the project at $125 million, $100 million of which was supposed to come from state appropriations. When the legislature instead opted to provide $63.5 million, Interim Senior Vice President of the Division of Finance Pam Cain said the university had no choice but to lower the plans goals. The plan for the VDL would have consisted of a building with more than 150,000 square feet of space, but the new plan puts that number at 83,000 to 88,000 square feet. As part of the FY2020 request, the board asked for additional funds to aid the operations of the VDL to keep up with Iowa State’s VDL caseload doubling in size since 2010. This request would increase funding to the VDL by $410,000 per year. The legislature currently supplies funding to the VDL at $4.1 million, but the VDL still funds 75 to 80 percent of its budget through fees for its services. The request claims this is “among the highest in the United States.”

Ames named No. 2 college town Iowa State students share their thoughts on recent rating BY ANNELISE.WELLS @iowastatedaily.com Ames has been ranked as the second best college town in America for 2018 by livability. com. According to their website, the results were calculated by first identifying all U.S cities with 20,000 to 350,000 people that have at least one college campus. In total, 203 cities fit the criteria. From there, the top 10 scores were calculated with the following criteria: 30 percent of the score comes from from the ratio of the city’s median salary from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to its July 2018 median one bedroom rent from ABODO listings, 30 percent from the percentage of the population being age 20 to 29, 20 percent from the number of jobs in the education sector per 1,000 jobs in the city and 20 percent from the ratio of the median salary in the city to the nation for jobs in education, according to their website. The ranking highlighted popular spots in Ames, such as the Great Plains Sauce & Dough Co., Welch Ave. Station and Main Street.

Earthquake research could help high-risk areas BY JESSICA.KINDSCHI @iowastatedaily.com
Although tornadoes are more common than earthquakes in Iowa, one professor’s earthquake research was done entirely without leaving the state. Igor Beresnev, professor of geological and atmospheric sciences, spent four years researching ground shaking limits and differences betweens magnitudes in earthquakes. His goal was to answer two questions: “ W hat is the limit of ground shaking during an earthquake?”
“Why is there no difference in ground shaking between two earthquakes with different magnitudes?” In order to answer these questions, he analyzed existing and historical data. Beresnev was motivated to answer these questions by thinking about building structures in areas prone to earthquakes. “Engineers need to design buildings that can withstand earthquake motion [and] ground shaking,” Beresnev said. In order to build these structures, engineers must know how strong these ground shakings can be. Ground shaking is “how fast the fault slips,” Beresnev said.
Through analyzing the data, he found the maximum force of ground shaking is three gravities (Gs). One gravity, or one G, is a unit of acceleration. Based on extensive computation from Beresnev, the maximum ground shaking of three Gs was measured recently in a earthquake in Japan. “We’ve seen the worst,” Beresnev said. To answer his second question, Beresnev found the magnitude of an earthquake does not matter because the intensity of ground shaking comes not from size, but from how fast the fault is accelerating. Beresnev said his findings can be used for engineers to build better structures in high-risk areas.

PREVIEW
Cyclones prepare for tough test vs. OU BY NOAH.ROHLFING @iowastatedaily.com Oct. 7, 2017. A date, for many Iowa State football fans, that will not be forgotten anytime soon. The day when Iowa State beat Oklahoma for the sixth time in the program’s history. The date when, around the country, people began to see the vision coach Matt Campbell was putting together for the Cyclones. It was also a day when Oklahoma looked lackadaisical and not fully focused on the task at hand. The Sooners fumbled into the end zone, struggled to get going on the offensive end and were clueless at times on defense. That was last year. Campbell said in his press conference on Tuesday the win wasn’t as important as what came after. “To me, I think that win last year is a little bit irrelevant,” Campbell said. “What I thought was relevant was our response to that win, and that’s where I thought our culture really started to change.” Never mind that, though. This Saturday, No. 5 Oklahoma rolls into Ames seeking revenge. The Sooners have ample ammunition, led by an electrifying offense manned by quarterback Kyler Murray. The former Texas A&M quarterback and soon-to-be Oakland Athletics outfielder has accounted for seven touchdowns without playing a full 60-minute game yet this season. There’s a reason for that. The Sooners have been putting teams away early. In the season opener, against a much-hyped Florida Atlantic team led by the mercurial Lane Kiffin, the Owls had no chance. Oklahoma built a 42-0 lead by halftime and the offensive starters didn’t see the field again. In week two, Chip Kelly and his UCLA Bruins — very much a work-in-progress at this point — visited Norman, Oklahoma, and all they got was a 49-21 defeat that was once again over by the half. Defensive coordinator Jon Heacock knows the Cyclones have a lot riding on their defense this Saturday, and it all starts with containing Murray. “Incredible offense,” Heacock said. “The scheme, the athletes, the mindset, the quarterback. He’s incredible, there’s not a throw he can’t make. “We’ve gotta be QB option sound, we’ve gotta be scramble sound.” One adjustment the Cyclones will have to make on Saturday will be playing in space, something the pro-style offense Iowa ran in week two did not force them to do. Redshirt sophomore safety, Greg Eisworth, said the main difference would be pass coverage versus creeping up in the box. “The good thing is that our offense is more of a spacious team,

so we’ve seen that all spring and fall,” Eisworth said. The work for Iowa State’s defense isn’t just in the coverage game, either. Oklahoma may have a dynamic quarterback, but as Heacock said, the Sooners have a stable of capable game-changers at the running back position, not counting injured star Rodney Anderson. Trey Sermon, the projected starter against Iowa State, ran for 744 yards (8.7 yards per attempt) in 2017—when splitting time with Anderson— and had a breakout performance on the road against Ohio State in the Sooners’ 31-16 win. He will be the lead back Saturday, but there are others to keep an eye on as well, such as T.J. Pledger and Marcelias Sutton. There’s a reason the Sooners are averaging 567.5 yards per game. Meanwhile, Iowa State still doesn’t know who is going to be starting at quarterback on Saturday, although wide-receivers coach Bryan Gasser said Wednesday Kempt practiced lightly.
No matter who starts for the Cyclones, the offense will need to wake up against the Sooners. Gasser preached the importance of bouncing back. “The biggest thing is rediscovering ourselves and saying ‘what do we do well, what do we hang our hats on,’” Gasser said. One area the Cyclones might be able to attack is in the flats, with redshirt freshman Tarique Milton and junior Deshaunte Jones making headway in the slot against the Hawkeyes. The Cyclones will need a better performance from the offensive line as well on Saturday. Oklahoma is near the bottom of the conference in defensive stats, but the Sooners have yet to play their starting defense for a full game, similar to the offense. The stats may not truly suggest how improved the Sooners’ often-porous defense is compared to the 2017 team. The Cyclones have beaten the Big 12’s standard-bearer once in the Campbell era. The Cyclones know they will have to play a near-perfect game on Saturday to rack up a second.

PLAYERS 2 WATCH Brian Peavy
Trey Sermon
Outside of giving up late points, the Iowa State defense earned an ‘A+’ from the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk game. With a much more explosive offense entering Jack Trice Stadium, the Iowa State defense must do that again. That starts with redshirt senior cornerback Brian Peavy. Iowa State — a double-digit underdog — will likely need to win the turnover margin. Iowa State consistently plays a clean game on offense. The Cyclones managed to fend off any turnovers until desperation time, but the defense failed to force any turnovers. If Peavy can snare an interception off Kyler Murray, the Cyclones could eke out a second-straight win over Oklahoma.
Oklahoma announced this week that running back Rodney Anderson will sit out the rest of the season due to injury. As a result, sophomore Trey Sermon will anchor the Sooner back field. Sermon shined during his opportunities as a freshman. The Georgia native rushed for 744 yards and five touchdowns, averaging 6.1 yards a carry. In the passing game, Sermon snagged 16 receptions for 139 yards and two touchdowns. Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray provides a spark to the Oklahoma offense, but the Sooners can’t be one-dimensional. The Cyclone defense revealed a strength for Iowa State, meaning Oklahoma needs to find the cracks.

GOOD COP BAD COP BY SPENCER.SUCKOW @iowastatedaily.com
Against Iowa, Iowa State’s offense looked dreadful. Redshirt senior quarterback Kyle Kempt was unable to pass the ball downfield, and the team’s offensive line failed to hold up in pass protection and was unable to open running lanes against the stingy Iowa defense. Against Oklahoma, Iowa State will not be facing a unit of that caliber. For the preseason All-Big 12 team, Oklahoma had zero players named to the team. In addition, Iowa State will finally have a game under their belt to work out the kinks in their offense and fine-tune the offensive line. Iowa State should be able to exploit a weaker Oklahoma defense both in the air and on the ground. On defense, Iowa State looked sharp and physical against Iowa especially against the run. Oklahoma brings a strong run game to the table that was anchored by star running back Rodney Anderson, who was declared out for the rest of the season. That doesn’t mean Oklahoma doesn’t have a contingency plan. Behind Anderson, Oklahoma has two strong backups in T.J. Pledger and Trey Sermon, who have recorded 83 yards on 14 carries and 82 yards on 16 carries, respectively. If Iowa State wants to pull away from Oklahoma, playing dominate and assignment sound in the box is a must. Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray feeds off of the Sooners’ run game. A lot of his big plays in the passing game have come off of play action, or were a result of defenses bringing secondary players into the box to stop the run. If Iowa State stops the run, Oklahoma’s passing game should stall as Murray has a poor deep ball and relies on the run to open up the passing game for him. The biggest X factor of the entire game is if whether Kempt or backup Zeb Noland gets the start. If Kempt gets the start, Iowa State should be able to cruise to its second straight win against Oklahoma.
The circumstances going into this year’s game against Oklahoma are eerily similar to last year’s. For the second year in a row, Iowa State is going into a matchup against a heavily-favored Sooners team ranked in the top five. Like last year, the Cyclones are going into the game off an ugly, low-scoring loss, facing uncertainty in regards to who will start at quarterback. We all know what happened last year. Iowa State pulled off the biggest upset in school history en route to one of the best seasons in recent memory. Surely if lightning can strike once, it can strike again, right? It can, but it won’t. Oklahoma is going to come into this game mad. No matter how good Iowa State actually was last year, there’s still a negative stigma to losing to the Cyclones. Iowa State and Kansas are supposed to be a Big 12 team’s two guaranteed conference wins per year, and Oklahoma couldn’t finish the job after getting off to a hot start last year. The team was embarrassed. The fans were embarrassed. The horses that pull the Sooner Schooner were probably embarrassed. Going into this year, though, Oklahoma is every bit as talented as last year, even without last year’s Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield. New starting quarterback Kyler Murray has been stellar thus far, the offense is stacked with weapons even without starting running back Rodney Anderson and the defensive problems that plagued the Sooners last year have been nonexistent so far in 2018. Oh, and you can bet they won’t be caught off guard by the Cyclones. Iowa State’s defense was good last week, but they’ll have to be perfect to stop an Oklahoma offense that’s averaging over 50 points a game. Even then, it might not be enough. Cyclone fans can certainly hope for the best, but it looks likely this game will get ugly quick. At this point, you just have to hope Oklahoma avoids the face during the beatdown.

Oklahoma 27, Iowa State 20
Oklahoma is a better football team than Iowa State. It’s pretty simple. Kyler Murray is a really good quarterback. The Sooners have good receivers. Even with running back Rodney Anderson out for the season, Oklahoma’s offense will still throw points on the board. Oklahoma’s defense isn’t anything incredible, but when you have one of the five best offenses in college football, you don’t need the 1985 Bears’ defense to win games. It wouldn’t surprise me if Iowa State jumped out to an early lead and kept it close. If Zeb Noland is starting at quarterback, the Sooners could get burned by his arm once or twice. But after both teams settle in, I think Oklahoma will take over. Iowa State’s defense will keep it fairly close but in the end I don’t think the offense keeps up with Kyler Murray.
No. 5 Oklahoma 31, Iowa State 14
Iowa State’s offense was a shambles in the week two loss to Iowa. After the first drive, no-one was able to get the offense moving. I don’t have super high hopes for the Cyclones this week, either. Oklahoma’s defense may not be otherworldly, but in the first two games of the season the Sooners have improved schematically from their lackluster start to the 2017 campaign. I expect the Cyclones to break through on a couple of drives, but not when it matters most. On the defensive end, the Cyclones will need the game of their lives. Even without star running back Rodney Anderson, Oklahoma has another All-American caliber talent in Trey Sermon and a very strong offensive line, not to mention dazzling receivers in Hollywood Brown and CeeDee Lamb. Iowa State’s inexperienced safeties will have to be flawless to not get beat deep by Kyler “The Five Million Dollar Man” Murray.
Iowa State 34, No. 5 Oklahoma 32
I’m doing it. I’m picking the upset in Ames. The last time Iowa State knocked off the Sooners in Ames, the game took place at Clyde Williams field, and “Save the Last Dance for Me” by The Drifters was the top song on the Billboard Hot 100. Needless to say, it’s been awhile. While Iowa State’s home drought against Oklahoma still persists, the Cyclones hold a one-game win streak against the Sooners. Everyone knows the story of Kyle Kempt filling in at quarterback, tossing three touchdowns with 343 yards and leading Iowa State to its first win over Oklahoma since 1990. However, Noland is missing traits Kempt possess, but he brings skills Kempt doesn’t have. Noland takes more chances than Kempt in the limited time he’s played, but he has the arm to back it up.
Iowa State 17, No. 5 Oklahoma 42
I’m not doing it. I’m not picking the upset in Ames. Iowa State looked rather incompetent on the offensive side of the ball last week. Mediocre quarterback play and poor play calling left an effective defense in the cold in Iowa City. I’m not convinced we’ll see anything different in Ames against a much, much better team. Perhaps I’m a pessimist; I laughed when Cyclone fans said “we want ‘Bama,’” after beating Oklahoma and TCU. I felt vindicated when they promptly lost three of their next four games to the likes of West Virginia, Oklahoma State and Kansas State. With Tom Manning having departed for the Indianapolis Colts, I wasn’t sure Campbell and company would have the offensive prowess to handle in-game adjustments and game plan to their strengths and their opponent’s weaknesses. After watching them play Iowa last week, I’m becoming more certain of the inverse.

BROTHERLY LOVE
Deshaunte and Keontae Jones leave their mark BY AARON.MARNER @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State played four minutes and five seconds in its canceled season opener against South Dakota State. There wasn’t a lot that happened — South Dakota State had a short possession, punted it to Iowa State, and the Cyclones moved the ball down the field. The only big play was a 55-yard catch and run into the end zone by junior wide receiver Deshaunte Jones. Jones caught the screen, ducked under a defender and scampered along the sideline into the endzone for the first score of the 2018 season. Not a single Jackrabbit defender was fast enough to catch him. If you ask Deshaunte’s younger brother, Keontae, sophomore defensive back for the Cyclones, he knows someone who’s faster than Deshaunte. “Me,” Keontae said. Deshaunte doesn’t agree. That’s part of the friendly rivalry the two have shared since childhood, and it’s something that pushes each of them to be better. Growing up in Cincinnati
Everyone around him knew Deshaunte Jones was going to be a special athlete. “I knew the first time I saw him,” said Tom Bolden, who coaches football at Colerain High School in Cincinnati, where the Jones brothers went to school. “Deshaunte has always been Deshaunte ever since I’ve known him.” He was the quintessential star athlete, even from a young age. Deshaunte ran point guard for the basketball team in middle school and played quarterback and running back in football. When he got to Colerain, Deshaunte led the triple-option attack as a quarterback. He ran for 1,860 yards and 29 touchdowns while throwing for another 785 yards and adding nine more touchdowns through the air as a senior. “We’re a triple-option football team and Deshaunte’s arguably the best [quarterback] we’ve ever had,” Bolden said. “He was just so dynamic — in space and how he ran it, and the things he could do athletically.” Colerain went 12-2 in Deshaunte’s senior year — which was also Keontae’s junior season. Even though big brother got a lot of attention as the starting quarterback, Keontae was no slouch, either. “Everything he did was 100 miles per hour,” Bolden said. Both brothers loved the game of football from a young age. They played other sports, such as basketball and track, but football was
always the favorite. Keontae played safety and some wide receiver, but he was really a jack of all trades. In his high school career, Keontae scored via reception, punt return, kickoff return, interception return and fumble return. If it involved being athletic and having a knack for football, Keontae was probably good at it. “Deshaunte gave Keontae no slack,” Bolden said. “It was one of those things where [Deshaunte] was gonna be hard on [Keontae], but it was also one of those things where nobody else was gonna pick on him. He had great expectations for his brother.” Keontae said he thinks he was the better player. Before he could even finish his sentence, Deshaunte interrupted to say he was better. “He just played offense,” Keontae said with a laugh. “I played both, he didn’t play defense.” The brothers had a few opportunities to work together, however. Deshaunte fired a pass to a streaking Keontae in a high school game for a touchdown. Keontae didn’t want to give any credit to his brother for the pass. “I was wide open!” he said. While they like teasing each other about football, Deshaunte and Keontae have an immense pride for each other, Colerain and their hometown of Cincinnati. Cincinnati is also the hometown of junior running back David Montgomery, and Ohio is the home of coach Matt Campbell. “GOATs come from Cincinnati,” Keontae said, referencing the acronym for Greatest Of All Time. That love for Colerain and for Cincinnati always gave the brothers something to talk about. No matter what was going on in life, they had football and each other. Facing tragedy
Each game, the Jones brothers write the same date on their wrist tape before taking the field. Sept. 4, 2012. That’s the day their father, Marvin Jones, died. “They’ve always been quiet kids,” Bolden said. “They’re outgoing, great personalities, but they’re not the loudmouth kids, they’ve always been a little bit more reserved. “I think at first they kept a lot of that bottled up. They used their athletics to kind of get away from those terrible thoughts and feelings and have a release.” Football was that release. It was also a sport their father encouraged them to play. Every year on Feb. 7, Deshaunte tweets about his father, wishing
him a happy birthday. It’s a yearly reminder of what they’ve been through, who they are and where they came from. “I think it’s made us closer, just losing that big aspect of your life,” Deshaunte said. “As a family, it made us all closer. Just being together, it was a hard time for us. “Our relationship is still growing, still getting better.” Becoming Cyclones
The Jones brothers didn’t plan on going to the same college. “It just so happened to work out,” Deshaunte said. Deshaunte was being recruited as a quarterback by a few schools, thanks to his work in Bolden’s triple-option offense at Colerain. His 5-foot-10 frame looked more like that of a wide receiver however, and that’s where he ended up in college. Deshaunte, being a year older than Keontae, was a bit ahead of his brother in the recruiting process. He was the first one to visit Iowa State and he fell in love with the school and the football program. Now, in Deshaunte’s third year and Keontae’s second year in Ames, the brothers are hitting their stride. One game into his junior year, Deshaunte has racked up 840 career receiving yards and six touchdowns. He’s arguably the most experienced receiver Iowa State has on its roster in 2018. Keontae was one of only four true freshmen to play last season for the Cyclones, so he has adapted to the college game quickly, too. With Deshaunte lining up in the slot and Keontae playing defensive back, the brothers have had the chance to line up opposite each other a few times. They both agreed they’ve each won a battle against each other, saying it’s a tie so far. That sibling rivalry has been there all along. “We’re still like that now,” Deshaunte said. “Even with video games or whatever we do, we’re always trying to be the winner of something.” Even when they go bowling, it’s always a battle. Deshaunte recalled a time when they bowled six or seven games in a row. Keontae said he won when he bowled a 199 in the final game. Deshaunte figures to be a key part of Iowa State’s air attack in 2018. Only redshirt junior Hakeem Butler had more receiving yards than him last year among returning wide receivers. Keontae could have a bigger role this season after playing in two games a year ago, especially if Iowa State experiments with five defensive backs more often. Regardless of who plays more on a given Saturday, they’ll be by each other’s side.

COMING TO AMERICA Editor’s note: This story is fictional and is meant to bring to light the author’s immigration concerns.
BY WALTER SUZA wphils2005@hotmail.com They had never been on a ship before. The transatlantic voyage was both exciting and scary as each day the ocean seemed to be getting rougher, the waves rising higher and higher and the water splashing onto the forecastle. There were hundreds of other passengers on board a large, old ship heading for the land of freedom. Jack had barely managed to secure a third-class cabin for him and his wife, where the newlywed couple would spend weeks together, away from oppression, poverty and despair. Finally, they arrived in America, the land of opportunity that other settlers from various parts of the world considered their last hope. Jack and Rose had just a couple of suitcases containing all their life savings. They were 18 years old. Their parents back in the old world had blessed and supported their decision to pursue the unknown and treacherous journey to the new world. That was 100 years ago. Ultimately, Jack and Rose succeeded in acquiring land and started a farming business. Today, Jack and Rose’s descendants own one of the most successful corn production companies in America. Recently, I sat down and spoke with a member of their corn for the world company. The 100-year-old enterprise continues to do well despite a more competitive business environment. Leonardo, one of Jack and Rose’s great-grandchildren and head of the company, described how proud he was of his great-grandparents, who had nothing to start with but succeeded against all odds. Leonardo emphasized their success was only possible in America. He was grateful for being an American, and he was grateful for the protection he enjoyed from the U.S. Constitution. As my conversation with Leonardo continued, his wife, Louise, walked in and told Leonardo that he should turn on the TV to hear an important announcement from the government. Apparently, the government had decided to investigate thousands of naturalized American citizens for suspected untruths in their immigration applications. The head government lawyer emphatically shouted in the microphone, “We should prosecute all perpetrators! And punishment will be harsh, including taking away their citizenship and deporting them back to their nowhere countries.” Louise and Leonardo appeared disturbed by the message, their faces faded, and I could see tears in Louise’s eyes. She said to her husband, “Imagine your great-grandfather being treated this way. Where would you and I be?” My fellow citizens, we all agree we must abide and respect our immigration laws. However, let us imagine Jack and Rose coming to America without passports or immigration papers. Imagine Jack and Rose dreaming of a better life and starting their own family. Imagine Jack and Rose struggling to overcome countless hurdles. Imagine Jack and Rose finding their first home, having their first child, harvesting their first corn crop. That was only possible because America gave Jack and

Rose a chance. America has always been a loving country. That makes America a special country, a country of hope for those seeking a second chance in life. However, America is also a global giant, and with global leadership comes great responsibility. With global leadership comes a need for compassion. America is always special when treading as a compassionate giant. This is why many in America utter prayers such as “God Bless America.” This is why many affirm “In God We Trust.”
Immigrant families come to America so they can earn a living to support a better life. I guess this prompted the inscription “In God We Trust” on our nation’s bills. As we navigate heated debates with those on the opposite sides of our political worlds, let us pause and take a moment to envision our ancestors arriving in America. How would we want America to treat our great-grandparents? Would we be more at peace with each other by embracing the idea that “In God we Trust” might mean that we would treat others, as we ourselves, would wish to be treated?
EDITORIAL
Fall in rank attributed to lack of funds Earlier this week, U.S. News and World Report released a set of rankings that, at face value, lowered Iowa State’s prestige as one of the top public institutions in the nation. Previously, Iowa State tied for 53rd among national public universities. Now, it stands at 56th. Regarding specific programs, Iowa State ranks third overall for best undergraduate program in biological/agricultural engineering. The issue? Last year Iowa State ranked No. 1. From a public relations perspective, what implications does a lower ranking have on student enrollment, retention and growth? Iowa State dropping in ranking doesn’t look, nor feel, good. And what if the state legislature feels that Iowa State isn’t worth investing in if its ranking at a national level
is decreasing rather than increasing? That’s exactly the point. Both Iowa State President Wendy Wintersteen, as well as the University of Iowa President Bruce Herreld whose university also fell in ranking, are turning the narrative to the public toward the legislature’s lagging investment at their respective institutions. And it’s smart. “Adequate financial support is vital as we work to fulfill our responsibility to provide an outstanding educational experience for our students and to help meet the needs of Iowans,” Wintersteen said in a statement provided to the Daily. “Rankings reflect the decreased investment in public higher education in Iowa.” While years of lagging state appropriations and tuition increases are not unfamiliar to Iowa State, it shouldn’t become
commonplace. In October 1999, state appropriations made up nearly twice as much of the revenue going toward the university to what tuition and fees were contributing. Today, those figures are flipped: Tuition up, state appropriations down. And it’s important that Iowa State is honest about the issues it is facing. While it may serve as a deterrence for future students looking to attend the university, the long-game may be the best play. The university is in dire need of support, and the financial burden should not be placed solely on the shoulders of the students. By being transparent about its shortcoming and punting the fault to that of the lagging legislature funding, Iowa State can hopefully begin to change the higher education narrative.

STRESS RELIEF: COLORING GOOD FOR HEALTH BY WILLA.COLVILLE @iowastatedaily.com
Coloring is not just for kids. The childhood pastime can be a useful tool for adults dealing with stress and anxiety. Coloring allows one to switch off their thoughts and focus on the moment.This has been proven to help deal with stress and even bring comfort to cancer patients. Adult cancer patients who participated in just one hour of art therapy each day expressed “overwhelming comfort” and wished to continue that form of therapy, according a study at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.Art therapy is also helpful among those dealing with conditions such as anxiety, depression, dementia and post-traumatic stress disorder. However, people who are just dealing with stress can benefit from coloring as well. Jeffrey Nelson, clinical therapist for Student Counseling Services, believes coloring is a great coping mechanism for students dealing with stress or anxiety. “It’s kind of this mindful activity,” Nelson said. “You’re in the moment and engaged in an activity that’s enjoyable.” Nelson said coloring is just one of many ways to relieve stress. Other stress relievers he suggested are meditating or taking long walks while focusing on the sounds and sights. Nelson said people with stress should “practice being more mindful,” and coloring is a great way to do it. “Here at the Student Counseling Center we provide services for students with anxiety or stress including individual therapy, group therapy and other workshops,” Nelson said. “These workshops help students work on managing emotions and anxiety.” Student Counseling Services, which is located on the third floor of the Student Services Building, is free of charge to students, and students can go in during their walk-in hours Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a consultation.

Midwest emo takes on ISU
Sponsored by University Book Store
BY TREVOR.BABCOCK @iowastatedaily.com Mom Jeans is bringing their bittersweet brand of emo rock to The M-Shop Friday, Sept. 14. Despite hailing from Berkeley, California the band is described as Midwest emo, a sound that is sure to capture the hearts of many Iowa State music lovers. The Midwest emo community is tightly knit and Mom Jeans is expected to have a very strong showing at The M-Shop. The show will be energetic and lively as Midwest audience members come to release their emotions in pure Midwest emo, a genre that started with them. Midwest emo blends post-hardcore, indie-rock and everything in between to produce a melodramatic cocktail known for its twinkly guitars and honest confessional lyrics through strained vocals. But what makes Mom Jeans stands out from the scene is their unmatched personality and bond. From drinking games, vaping, binge-watching “The Office,” relationship struggles, future uncertainty and the monotony of life, college-driven themes and references pack the
Mom Jeans catalog. The band frequently features pictures of the bandmates together happy and smiling on their cover art showing that despite the emotional themes of the albums themselves, they’re four friends having fun. The band has a self-aware and playful energy embedded in their emo style that’s refreshing in a sometimes self-indulgent genre. Some would even call their take on the genre “party emo.” The band inserts their self-deprecating and unique sense of humor in their song titles. Examples include “near death fail comp (must watch til end),” “Vape Nation,” and “Scott Pilgrim V. My Gpa.” The band even released an EP in 2017 called “NOW That’s What I Call Music Vol. 420.” Among a plethora of EPs, Mom Jeans released their latest album “Puppy Love” in July of this year, two years after their first full-length album “Best Buds.” Mom Jeans will be supported by intriguing emo-jazz fusion outfit Just Friends and solo-artist Shortly. Tickets are $10 for ISU students and $15 for the public and can be purchased at the M-Shop box office or online via midwestix.com.

Cy-Hawk trophy on the line BY JACK.SHOVER @iowastatedaily.com With the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Trophy on the line, Iowa State will host the rival Hawkeyes with bragging rights up for grabs. Iowa and Iowa State will square off on Friday at 6:30 p.m. in Hilton Coliseum. So far this year, the Iowa State women’s soccer team beat Iowa 2-0 and the Iowa football team beat Iowa State 13-3. Last season, Iowa State was able to come away with a 3-1 victory at Iowa. “Everyone in the state of Iowa knows the Iowa-Iowa State rivalry,” said Jess Schaben, senior outside hitter. “You know they’re going to bring it obviously because they don’t want to lose and we obviously are not wanting to lose.” Despite the 3-1 score, Iowa kept the game close in every set. In the first set, Iowa State won 25-19, but Iowa took the second 25-23. In the last two sets, Iowa pushed Iowa State into extra points with scores of 26-24 and 30-28, as Iowa State took both sets. Of Iowa State’s returning players, now-seniors Schaben and Grace Lazard recorded 17 and 11 kills, respectively. Sophomore setter Piper Mauck also had 14 assists in limited action. On defense, Lazard recorded five blocks, and redshirt junior libero Hali Hillegas chipped in 18 digs while Schaben had nine. “You try to approach [the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk game] like another match; we prep the same way, but it will feel like more than that with all of the hype that goes with that,” Johnson-Lynch said. This season, Iowa sits at a 5-3 record with losses to Lipscomb 3-2, Washington 3-1 and Colorado 3-1. Washington is currently ranked No. 13 in

Last season, Louis was an Honorable Mention All-Big 10 selection while Schaben was named an AVCA Honorable Mention All-American for the second time. Both teams setters are performing at similar levels, as Iowa is averaging 13 assists per set as a team and Iowa State is averaging 12.9 as a team. Mauck has been averaging 10.3 assists a set while Iowa setter Brie Orr is averaging 9.9 assists a set. W ith that being said, coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said she hasn’t decided on a starting setter while freshman Jenna Brandt has been challenging Mauck for the position. Brandt has averaged 6.5 assists a set. Johnson-Lynch said that she might experiment playing both setters in games.

the first set. In addition, Iowa State’s offense was able to open up in the first set to the tune of 12 total kills with a .250 hitting percentage. Johnson-Lynch said she noticed them passing tighter to the net which allowed the Cyclones’ hitters to “run points.” “Just getting the ball much higher and tighter at the net has been great to set up our hitters, and Grace [Lazard] especially really drew the block tonight, and it allowed our outsides and our pins to really take advantage of that,” said Piper Mauck, a sophomore setter. Despite the block keying on her, Lazard finished the game with seven kills and .278 hitting percentage. Mauck, who was one of two setters who played Thursday, totaled five assists in the first set and 30 in the entirety of the game as she rotated with Brandt, Iowa State’s other setter. Brandt had two assists in the first set and five total. The Cyclones’ libero, Hillegas, said the team also did a better job attacking out of their offensive system, which led to opportunistic points. Hillegas finished the game with 20 digs after ending the first set with seven total. Johnson-Lynch said after the game that Hillegas is looking more comfortable during games than she has in past games this season, which should only elevate her play. Earlier this season, Hillegas recorded two games with at least 30 digs en route to winning two separate Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week awards. Hillegas said the defense and her play has tightened up as a result of her improving communication between herself and the blockers. With her and the blockers on the same page, it has allowed the defense to better receive balls and set up the Cyclone attack. This season, Iowa State’s Achilles’ heel has been finishing out sets, but the Cyclones did a solid job in all three sets Thursday. Mauck said Iowa State’s stronger finishes in sets can be attributed to a better consensus amongst the team to “squeeze out energy” to put the sets away. At 6:30 p.m. Friday, Iowa State will face Iowa with the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Trophy on the line.

Iowa Utilities Board has the power to allow a pipeline company such as Dakota Access to acquire land without the owner’s permission, as long as there is adequate payment and the pipeline is used for a public purpose, public use or public improvement. Hanigan argued the pipeline was not at all in the public’s interest. “Iowans have no direct use” Hanigan said, pointing to Iowans’ alleged inability to profit from the pipeline directly. Hanigan said since the pipeline flowed directly through the state without any refineries or other major oil infrastructure in place, it did not directly profit Iowans. Bret A. Dublinkse, a lawyer for Dakota Access, argued the accusations brought up by the landowners and the interest groups were already null. “The bill is now an established fact…and now a moot point,” Dublinske said. Dublinske also said the Sierra Club had no standing because its arguments were based on anticipatory arguments and a lot of “if ” statements. Dublinske also said throughout the argument the high-profile nature of the case shouldn’t affect the justices’ decision. “Just because it has a higher presence does not change what the law is,” Dublinske said. According to Dakota Access, the pipeline cost more than $3.8 billion and can transport more than 500,000 barrels of oil per day. The pipeline is nestled in a 150-foot rightof-way beneath the ground that Dakota Access has bought from the farmers. The middle 50 feet houses the pipeline, while the adjacent 50 foot segments were used to hold the excess dirt and equipment during construction. Farmers and appellant LaVerne Johnson said it is within those 150 feet that trouble begins. Dakota Access used eminent domain to route a pipeline diagonally across six acres of Johnson’s land, and in the process, destroyed the productive capacity of the soil, Johnson said. Instead of corn or soybeans, Johnson planted sunn hemp on his right-of-way to break up some of the compaction caused by the construction of the pipeline, which has cost him a lot of money and yielded no income, Johnson said. Johnson said he thinks his land won’t be productive for many years and may never get back to the productive capacity it once had. “It has taken us a long time to get our chance to get our day of justice,” Johnson said. “It’s been thwarted many times by Dakota Access and to be honest with you this thing should have been nipped in the bud.” Steve Hickenbottom, a farmer and petitioner on the Supreme Court case, has had similar experiences with the pipeline. Hickenbottom said the pipeline runs across eight acres of his land and has caused severe soil compaction and drainage issues. “It’s been hell,” Hickenbottom said. “It’s just – you don’t sleep at night.” Landowner and former lawyer Keith Puntenney said he believes those sleepless nights aren’t going away anytime soon. “I expect this to take several months before there is any kind of a final result because of the volume of information that they and their clerks and everyone else is going to have to digest,”
Puntenney said. Puntenney also thinks the case might take longer, not only because of its complexity, but due to its importance and precedence as a case. “It’s an extremely important case in Iowa, because as they clearly pointed out, there is no precedent in Iowa for a [Iowa Code] 479B pipeline that is 30 [inches] that is a hazardous liquid pipeline,” Puntenney said. “And that in itself makes it totally different from all the other case laws that’s out there that deals with gas, which is another code section in its entirety.” Even if the case is ruled in the farmer’s favor, they still have to deal with the land that has already been damaged by the pipeline, Puntenney said. “I’m hopeful, but realistic,” Puntenney said. “This is not the end of the journey, this is frankly the begin of a downhill journey for those of us who are landowners and still have to deal with remediation issues.” Puntenney, Johnson and Hickenbottom said they were happy with the arguments made by their lawyers and pointed out the Supreme Court Justices asked lots of good questions. “I think that their knowledge of cases was good,” Hickenbottom said. “I think that maybe we might lack a little of the judge’s knowledge of the feeling of what its like to lose control of your property….so I hope that they can consider this…they’ve got a big call to make. “If they call this in [our] favor, this case could change the way pipelines do business in the United States from here on out,” Hickenbottom said. “And it’s time it does get changed.” Keith Puntenney, Laverne I. Johnson, Richard R. Lamb and Marian D. Johnson are all listed as appellants under the court filing. The Northwest Iowa Landowners Association, Iowa Farmland Owners Association, Inc. and the Sierra Club Iowa Chapter are also cited as appellants in the case. The appellees listed are the Iowa Utilities Board, Dakota Access LLC and the Office of Consumer Advocate and the Main Coalition. The Iowa Office of Consumer Advocate was created to represent Iowa consumers and public interest before the Iowa Utilities Board. The office largely worked to present environmental guidelines for the pipeline, which the Iowa Utilities Board generally adopted, said Mark R. Schuling, an attorney for the office. Schuling says that if the Supreme Court rules in favor of the Iowa Utility Board, everything would remain the same. However, Schuling isn’t sure about what might happen if the Supreme Court decides in favor of the landowners. “If they don’t uphold the board’s decision...
