Obama pushes for affordable education By Shannon.McCarty @iowastatedaily.com President Barack Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan met in Des Moines at North High School on Monday to ask questions about education access and affordability. The stop is part of President Obama’s continuous efforts to make college more affordable. The Obama administration has doubled investments in scholarships and made student loans affordable by cutting interest rates. Students are now also able to cap student loan payments at 10 percent of their income.
“I think that our colleges should be focusing on affordability and serving students,” Obama said. Obama and his administration have made efforts to “simplify” the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, commonly known as the FAFSA. The online form received alterations allowing applicants to skip questions that are not relevant to them. Part of Obama’s education initiative that was introduced Monday will allow students to apply for the FAFSA as early as Oct. 1, as opposed to Jan. 1. Student applicants will also be able to electronically receive
tax information filed for an earlier year. “All these steps ... should help hundred of thousands more students pay for college,” Obama said. The change aims to allow students to apply for funding without having to wait until tax season. It is the president’s hope that if students know their aid eligibility sooner, it will allow students and families to better calculate the true cost of college. “No young person should be priced out of college,” Obama said. The College Scorecard website is also part of the initiative.
S t u dents and families can search different schools’ graduation rates, debt and student loan payback rates on the website. “Right now families don’t have all the information to Courtesy of the White House c h o o s e t h e President Obama’s initiative to expand opportunities for higher right school,” education starts with making the FAFSA easier for students.

36,001 students creates new burdens for campus By Mitch.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com

ecord enrollment means a record amount of strain not only on human resources, but also on Iowa State’s facilities. The 36,001 students on campus this fall is more than Iowa State has ever seen at the beginning of a semester. It’s the seventh straight year of record-breaking enrollment, and the ninth straight year the university has seen an increase from the previous year. With such a dramatic increase in the number of students on campus, students and faculty are seeing changes in a number of ways. Challenges are facility maintenance, classroom availability and scheduling. “The growth in enrollment has certainly presented some challenges as we accommodate more people on campus, and we’ve been making changes to deal with that,” said Warren Madden, senior vice president of business and finance at Iowa State. One change the university has had to make is increased custodial support in many buildings. Madden said that since so many students are going in and out of buildings for classes, restrooms can’t make it a full day without being serviced. “As a university, we’re consuming 30 percent more toilet paper than we were before,” Madden said. “I think that’s a combination of two things — one being more people, and also we’re finding that people are spending more of their day on campus. Things like that aren’t really a problem, it’s just a practical cost increase that comes with accommodating more people.” The university is trying to deal with the flow of students outside of the buildings as well. “We made some changes that we think are helping traffic patterns,” Madden said. “We’ve eliminated parking on Osborne Drive and that seems to have really improved the flow of people, bicycles, skateboards, et cetera. We’re trying it as a pilot project, but it appears to me that it’s successful.” Katie Baumgarn, coordinator for instructional facilities, added that a main cause for students to stay on campus longer could be that the university’s peak hours are beginning
to spread. “What we call ‘primetime’ hours on campus are classes that begin at 9 a.m. and classes that end at 3 p.m. and all classes in between,” Baumgarn said. “We are now starting to notice that more classes are being scheduled at 8 a.m. and after 3 p.m. as well.” A total of 214 general university classrooms exist at Iowa State, which only make up 4 percent of the total space on campus. Buildings like Snedecor Hall, Catt Hall and Beardshear Hall don’t have any classrooms, and many buildings have only a few classrooms or rooms that are used for classes unique to certain departments. “There have been conversations about adding classrooms with the Student Innovation Center when it is built,” Baumgarn said.
“The biosciences project and the addition to Bessey Hall will also create classrooms.” Another project coming next summer is the renovation of classrooms on the second floor of Pearson Hall, Baumgarn said, so those will be unavailable from the summer of 2016 to the fall of 2017. Baumgarn said with the frequent and extended use of classrooms, it’s important that they remain organized to make the transition to the next class as easy as possible. She laid out a few things students and instructors can do to keep the rooms organized: Keep the rooms the way they are and leave the furniture arranged the way it was before class.

Emotions ran high in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union on Monday during a meeting of protesters who demonstrated against Republican presidential candidates during Saturday’s Cy-Hawk tailgate. The demonstration took place in the parking lot outside of Jack Trice Stadium early Saturday afternoon. It was aimed at U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio and Rand Paul, as well as Gov. Scott Walker and especially Donald Trump for remarks made about immigration issues. “The best way for us to show our presence was in a peaceful way,” said Maria Alcivar, ISU graduate student in human development and family studies. She was pivotal in planning the protest. “After I heard Trump was coming to the game … I decided to reach out and start a demonstration,” Alcivar said. The protesters held signs and stood in a group several feet away from where the presidential candidates were to make their visits, she said. The protest was completely silent, except for some commands for onlookers to not touch protesters or their signs. “It was hostile as soon as we arrived,” Alcivar said. “A woman physically grabbed my face.” Kenyatta Shamburger, director of Multicultural Student Affairs and assistant dean of students, claims his pride for the protestors. “I want to commend those persons that were [at the protest], and stood their ground,” Shamberger said. The Sun Room was almost full throughout the meeting, even though participants came and went throughout the discussion. The meeting had two main formats — a small-group discussion among the crowd members and a larger discussion among individual speakers and the room at large. “I was a victim of a defacing of my poster,” said Jovani Rubio, senior in mechanical engineering and a co-leader of the demonstration. The defacing was caught on a phone video. “I knew this video had gone viral,” Rubio said. “I honestly didn’t feel safe walking to class

Health center candidate visits campus
By Audra.Kincart @iowastatedaily.com
The Thielen Student Health Center is searching for a new director, and students and faculty had the opportunity to hear from one of the two candidates Friday. Shelley O’Connell, spoke at an open forum Friday morning in the Gold Room of the Memorial Union. Nine people were in attendance, none of whom were students. O’Connell started at the University of Northern Iowa health clinic in 2001 and became director in 2008. The open forum began with the role of the health center. O’Connell said the health center should provide quality care and collaborate with other health and wellness units. “Isn’t that why we’re here, to help students succeed?” O’Connell asked. One unit is through mental health services. O’Connell said it was much easier at UNI to walk a student upstairs to their counseling appointment compared to Iowa State, where students are sent away as the provider hopes the student makes it to the counseling appointment.
The health center’s role also includes other medical services including physical therapy, orthopedics and keeping students on top of their immunizations. O’Connell views student health as a campuswide initiative. Employees should connect with students and know the resources on campus for the students. O’Connell has multiple goals for the Thielen Student Health Center. These goals include showing the years of experience employees have as well as making sure that Thielen maintains accreditation standards through the Accreditation Association of Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). After accreditation, O’Connell believes that accomplishment should be displayed in Thielen. O’Connell said she would also like to add an educational aspect to student services. O’Connell suggested that Career Services could include information on health insurance because it is an important part about choosing a job. O’Connell said her skills are what would bridge the gap.
Iowa State Daily
Thielen Student Health Center was said to have had a “prolonged lack of skilled and effective leadership” in a review by Keeling & Associates.
O’Connell views herself as a collaborative leader who consults others before a decision is made and maintains an open-door policy for employees. O ’ C o n n e l l a l s o a ddressed the differences she made while she was at UNI. She said she increased student use of the health center
from below 50 percent to 63 percent during her time at the university. She owes this increase to a renovation of the health center, meeting national standards and marketing the health center to change the stigma from “student death” back to student health. “The past is some-
thing we can learn from, but ultimately it is the past,” O’Connell said. “What’s important is the future.” Erin Baldwin, the second candidate, who has served as chief operating officer for the Mahaska Health Partnership in Oskaloosa, Iowa, since 2012, will be available to meet with
Award-winning journalist offers students a look into world issues By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nicholas Kristof spoke to students at Stephen’s Auditorium on Monday about his latest topic, “Why we should care about the world and want to change it?” Kristof came to speak as part of the university’s World Affair’s Series: Redefining Global Security. Part one of Kristof’s documentary, “A Path Appears,” was available for students to view and purchase at the Memorial Union on Sept. 8. which Kristof produced the documentary in partnership with his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, on how to become a positive influence in others’ lives. A short discussion was provided after the episode, which covered sex trafficking in America. About Kristof Kristof, a columnist for The New York Times, writes op-ed columns that appear in the Times about twice a week. Born in Chicago, but raised on a sheep and cherry farm near Yamhill, Ore., Kristof graduated from Harvard University and received his graduate from
Oxford University. Kristof has been to more than 150 countries, all of the 50 states, every Chinese province and every Japanese Island. Following his graduation with honors from Oxford, Kristof backpacked around Africa and Asia and wrote articles, according to his website. Kristof and WuDunn recently co-wrote “Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide,” which acts as a call to arms against the human rights violation that oppresses women and girls within the developing world. Kristof and WuDunn walk readers through a journey of a Cambodian teenager sold into sex slavery, and an Ethiopian woman who suffered immense injuries during childbirth. Kristof and WuDunn have written about how economic progress can be unleashed by the potential of women. They have written about people who have already helped expand the progress of women and make it clear about how individuals can help progress women in the world. “Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women World-
wide” is also a four-hour series that was shot in 10 countries. The film is about women and girls who live in some of the most unimaginable circumstances, but are still fighting for their rights. Kristof has also written about issues surrounding economic empowerment, education, forced prostitution, gender-based violence, maternal morality, sex trafficking. His other book, “A Path Appears: Transforming Lives, Creating Opportunity,” along with “Half the Sky,” are both part of the Global Women and Girls Lead Initiative to promote women’s empowerment at an international level. The Lecture Opening with a joke saying that he feels like he is the only visitor in Iowa who is not running as a presidential candidate, Kristof began speaking about what he and WuDunn do and why. “I think the reason Sheryl and I got engaged in these issues is we want to find an elevated greater purpose, we wanted to find issues we care about,” Kristof said. Kristof then talked about human trafficking and sex slavery and how they could possibly be go-
Iowa State created a Campus Master Plan in 1991 that would act as an outline to help organize the construction during the course of the next 25 to 30 years. This plan, which was developed during the course of a nine-month period, was a skeletal estimate of the work that would eventually need to be constructed or expanded. The plan, which was presented to the Iowa Board of Regents and prepared by Sasaki Associates, Inc. is updated approximately every five years. The last formal Campus Master Plan was
undertaken in 1968. “The need for the Master Plan is driven by the projected addition of approximately 2.9 million gross square feet of new building space over the next two to three decades,” the Master Plan summary stated. “The projected growth represents an increase of approximately 40 percent over existing non residential building space.” The Campus Master Plan states several general objectives that encompasses what the university is setting out to do, such as creating an environment that supports the mission of Iowa State and its programs, establishing an appropriate image for an institution that expands to regional, national
and global importance and accommodating to the projected growth here at Iowa State. Iowa State grew in student enrollment by 23 percent between 2009 and 2014. This record enrollment is part of the reason for new dorms such as Buchanan Hall #2. More specific objectives include enhancing pedestrian pathways, expanding and clarifying the campus bicycle system around Ames and the campus, establishing a clear entry of arrival on campus and limiting the land that is devoted to parking on the core of campus to keep the campus pedestrian-friendly.

included a list of construction projects to be completed by 2015. Projects Additions to Kildee Hall and the Meats Laboratory for Intensive Livestock Research A new center for innovative teaching and research for the College of Engineering A new Agriculture Engineering building A new Mathematical and Computer Science building An addition to the College of Design building A new Undergraduate Learning Facility Facilities for library and general university storage. The 1995 supplemental
progress report stated that there were at least eight new constructions within the five years and at least eight reconstructions. The updated plan included a five-year capital plan for 1995-2000 that was focused on four project categories, including fire and environmental safety, deferred maintenance, new construction and remodeling/renovation. The plan was then updated again in 2000 and brought hopes to construct or remodel at least 15 buildings. Current projects and the Campus Master Plan can be located at the Facilities Planning and Management website.
The Ames and ISU Police Departments had a combined 55 charges during the weekend of the CyHawk rivalry, down from last year. Ames Police arrested and charged 34 people. The charges included 11 public intoxications, five disorderly conducts, five illegal possessions of alcohol and three assaults. ISU Police had 21 charges. Of those 21 charges, 15 were public intoxications and alcohol violations. Jason Tuttle, investigations commander for the Ames Police Department, said they were busier than they are during a regular weekend. “On the UNI game we had 215 calls for service from Friday evening to Sunday morning, and this weekend we had 369,” Tuttle said. Tuttle said Campustown was their busiest area, with a lot of activity on Welch Avenue. “From Ash over to Sheldon Ave. is kind of our university impacted area,” Tuttle said. “That area is where we spent most of our time.” While crime rate was up from most weekends, Some positives resulted from the weekend. Tuttle said while some people were kicked out of the stadium this weekend, none were arrested at Jack Trice. This is a decrease from the eight arrests during last week’s UNI game, despite the fact they had one of their largest crowds ever. The crime rate was also down from the CyHawk game two years ago in Ames, Tuttle said of this weekend. Ames Police charged 50 people two years ago, compared to the 34 charges this year. The biggest drop was in public intoxications with 15 fewer than two years ago. Tuttle said they are expecting crime to go down at the Kansas game Oct. 3.

She advised not to take chairs or desks from other classes. This causes violations to fire code and can be a danger to students in an emergency if the classroom is over capacity. No food or beverages, as it causes extra wear and tear on facilities that are already highly utilized. If students want to regularly use a classroom, they must be recognized by student organizations and they must register with the Student Activity Center in order to reserve an online classroom. Rob Wallace, president of Iowa State’s Faculty Senate, said when classroom
untaxed income and exclusions from income that are not reported to the International Revenue Service8. “It’s got some good bipartisan support,” Obama said. The simplifying of the application would eliminate 30 questions in total, helping shorten the time it takes to fill out the application. When Obama was asked which presidential candidate is the best on education issues, he said as of now he couldn’t say who
to vote for. “I can tell you who to vote against, and that is someone who decides that teachers don’t deserve the respect and high pay that they deserve,” Obama said. He also commented on the immigration issues in the news while answering a question on immigrants and free two-year community college. “This whole anti-immigrant sentiment that is out there is contrary to who we are,” Obama said. Obama said that the
people who come here illegally should have to pay a fine and take necessary steps to become right with the law. “A legitimate debate can be had about an immigration system that is fair, that is orderly and that is lawful,” Obama said. Obama said he didn’t understand the disrespect to new immigrants of the United States. “Unless you are Native American, your family came from somewhere else,” Obama said.
space gets to be a hot commodity, it isn’t just the students who are affected. “I can tell you that faculty in general are very dedicated to this institution and want to do the best job possible, but when the constraints are placed that you can’t get into an appropriate lecture hall or the technology is inadequate for that level of teaching, finding an alternative place to teach with appropriate technology is difficult because there is simply so much volume of classes being delivered,” Wallace said. Even though 1,000 more students are on campus this year compared to 2014, the increase in revenue doesn’t necessarily
make more money available for new faculty and facilities. This partly because of the the lag time of planning and completing projects as well as the time it takes to go through the hiring process for new quality faculty. “Currently the monetary resources [for more faculty] are not there at the level they need to be,” Wallace said. “We’ve had some problems getting funding from the legislature, so funds that were requested and earmarked to make our faculty-to-student ratio as low as possible, that has not come in nearly to the level that we actually need to maintain a good ratio.” Wallace and Madden
said the student-to-faculty ratio is still hovering around the 19:1 mark. They also said they would rather deal with the challenges of growth of student population than the challenges that stem from declining enrollment and shrinking programs. Wallace said there is also plenty to be learned from the challenges that are being presented. “Maybe the word needs to get out to legislators that we have this intense demand and they really need to get it in terms of how stressed we are here,” Wallace said. “Maybe that needs to be a broader impact that would come out of being able to understand this growth and enrollment.”

Diversity position addresses need at ISU

Columnist Lawson believes there should be a set formula to determine how much compensation a family should receive from a wrongful death suit. Freddie Gray’s family is set to receive $6.4 million for his death.
Justification needed in settlement Wrongful death suit compensation amounts need consistency By Angelica.Lawson @iowastatedaily.com
W
hen a life ends too soon because an unjust act of violence, no restitution for the surviving members of that family exists. But they do have the opportunity to claim the societal loss of their loved one in a wrongful death suit. Wrongful death suits are filed when a life has been lost because of an act of negligence. In the case of Freddie Gray, his family was recently awarded a $6.4 million settlement from the city of Baltimore. Gray died April 19, 2015 after he incurred a severe spinal injury while he was in police custody. There has been an outcry by some that the settlement number was ‘obscene’ for being so high. Settlements vary person to person and it depends on the circumstances surrounding the death. The general “formula” for a settlement is an estimated value of your earning and potential and what was lost when the life was ended. This raises the question of what is the value of your life, and can you really put a price tag on someone’s existence? What factors do courts have to take
into consideration when deciding on a final amount? The courts are having to make an estimate on the value that society has lost from the wrongful death of an individual. There is no formula for this and no right or wrong answer. There is no governing body evaluation or any set guidelines. The laws based on what can be considered, and in what situations the life in question was ended, vary state to state, so there are inconsistencies when it comes to judgments and settlements that have been awarded. The city of Baltimore has paid $5.7 million from 2011 to 2014 in wrongful death suits. During a three-year time period, Baltimore has paid less to several families than it is paying to the Gray family, which is set to receive $6.4 million. This causes elevated concern. The question is not “what is the value of a life?” but “how do you, as governing body, say that one life is worth $6.4 million, and several people were worth a collective $5.7 million?” The main difference that I can see is that one of these cases received media attention, while several others went unaddressed. The public may never know why or how the Gray settlement was reached because it was decided outside of court, so the exact breakdown of the award may not be available. The media attention that Gray’s death received on a national level created a bias within the courts and the city. One settlement outnumbered the amount of settlement issued during a three-year time span. Baltimore has been under fire since Gray’s death and it is believed that
the judgment was influenced because of the media attention. If judgments are suppose to be based on the deceased person’s per-death pain and suffering, the medical costs that the deceased victim incurred as a result of the injury prior to death — funeral and burial costs, loss of the deceased person’s expected income, loss of any inheritance as a result of the death, value of the services that the deceased would have provided, loss of care, guidance and nurturing that the deceased would have provided, loss of love and companionship and loss of consortium — I do not see how one person’s value is $6.4 million and there are three years of settlements that do not equal close to that amount. The media played a role in this judgment, and bias was created with this case. When no limits and no secure laws to guard over cases like Freddie Gray’s exist, it becomes a different act of injustice. No one knows the background of the other cases that were filed and those lives were never publicized. Those families were put at a lower priority on the pay scale. But there is a solution to this injustice. There has to be concrete laws for these types of cases. What can be claimed and what can be awarded has to be concrete and adopted by every state to ensure that the settlements fit the crime they are being awarded to. This task is a huge undertaking, but it is needed to reach equality. No grey area as to what monetary assistance is acceptable should exist when a life is lost.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Stop silencing multicultural students By Maria Arevalo senior in chemical engineering Dear Daily Staff and ISU Community, I think you may know why this Colombian, Latina immigrant is writing to you. On Saturday, several students and members of the ISU community started a peaceful protest at the Republican tailgate. They held signs and demonstrated against the repeatedly racist, sexist, antiimmigrant views of presidential candidate Donald Trump. They were not yelling. They were not violent. They held their signs. “Educated Latinos against racism.” “Not numbers, Neighbors.” “Dreamers against Racism.” “No human being is illegal.” “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” Some ISU community members, people participating in the tailgate and others started harassing protesters. Throwing can tabs at the students, making scribbles on signs, hitting signs and expressing their loud and uneducated opinions. They, once again, showed that attending a university does not guarantee you are fully aware and educated about the things that really matter. “Excuse me, immigrants, do you not know how to speak? You can only write signs.” “Send all these Mexicans back to Mexico, Mr. Trump.” “Ugh. They’re getting so close to us.” “Do you pay taxes to the US government? You are just uninformed.” Students and protesters feared for their safety and well-being, yet they stood in their position and continued their protest. A woman, wearing an Iowa State shirt, ripped my friend’s sign from top to bottom, supported by the ignorant laughter
and yelling of the community members in the surroundings. The video, made public online and shared on media platforms by several students, did not surprise anyone who comes from a multicultural background or is aware of issues on immigration/racism. “It’s embarrassing that this happened in Iowa State! Students were doing a peaceful protest against racism and this ‘human being’ decided to show the world how ignorant some people are.” “Now you all can see what happens here at Iowa State.” “This disrespect needs to stop.” “Indecency takes many forms. You may see a woman ripping up a poster. I see voices being snuffed and tyrannical views oppressing the non-violent opposition.” I believe in freedom of speech. The students were protesting, once again I cannot stress this enough, PEACEFULLY. We can all have different opinions, but disrespecting other ISU members is just unacceptable. Just as it is letting a presidential candidate come to an event where people are drinking, come to an institution where students immigrating from all around the world are constantly enrolled and where international researchers and staff members are welcomed every year. Iowa State, as with the last school year’s sexual harassment issue, has failed again at providing a safe environment for community members showing their point of view. ISU has put members at risk by letting all this disrespect happen, by welcoming a presidential candidate that clearly has no business in a multicultural university located in Ames, not in Boone (as Mr. Trump thought). “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter,” read the sign that was torn apart. Multicultural students should not be silenced. This incident should spark
conversation and future actions toward racism/sexism in the community. We all should feel we have an executive board that is firm in its views and defends ISU students no matter what their cultural background, or immigrant status is. President Leath, I am talking to you in this instance. When a person in a position of power is absent in a national, and now really local immigration/racism controversy, and welcomes Mr. Trump to ISU, especially Jack Trice Stadium, we, 23.24 percent of the student body, multicultural/international students, feel left behind. Do you stand with us? Does ISU stand with us?
President Steven Leath announced the chief diversity officer position in 2013 after The Jackson Consulting Firm conducted a comprehensive study of Iowa State’s diversity programs and initiatives. One of the firm’s recommendations was creating the position. Now, roughly one year later, four finalists have been selected by the committee for the position. The finalists are making the rounds to introduce themselves to students. William Lewis, one of the candidates for the position, discussed his views on inclusion at a public forum in the Pioneer Hall of the Memorial Union. Lewis is the former vice president of diversity and inclusion at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. There was a great need for this position based on the wide variety of backgrounds within our student population at Iowa State in 2013. This need has grown exponentially this year, especially in light of the standoff between a Cy-Hawk tailgate attendee and a student protester. Senior Jovani Rubio protested Donald Trump’s comments about undocumented immigrants during Saturday’s festivities at Jack Trice Stadium, which Trump attended. A West Des Moines woman walked up to Rubio during his peaceful protest and ripped his poster after muttering something about white supremacy. This event is one of the multiple examples on or near our campus that shows the need for someone to aid diversity integration. Diversity is obvious everywhere on campus. But ensuring all backgrounds are mixed in our melting pot of a campus is not so obvious to students. Students often stay within their own comfort zone, which usually includes those who share similar backgrounds. Multicultural students are often seen with other multicultural students, and the same goes for international and domestic students. The fact that students outside of these groups expect that multicultural or international students will adjust to them is where the new vice president of diversity will play a huge role. The Daily had the opportunity to sit down with Vice President for Student Affairs Tom Hill and his cabinet and meet with representatives of many areas on campus before classes started. Ali Soltanshahi, the program coordinator for International Students and Scholars, works with international students on their experiences at Iowa State. Soltanshahi talked in the meeting about how international students seem to be expected to adjust to culture in the U.S., but it’s a two-way street. Students outside of these groups should also take steps to include and interact with multicultural and international students. Whoever is selected to fill said position has his or her work cut out for them to not only meet the expectations of university bigwigs, but students as well. Candidates have and will share their goals as the vice president of diversity and inclusion. For example, Lewis has planned a listening tour to really get a feel for changes that need to be made on campus. and we look forward to hearing what other candidates view as key target areas of improvement. But announcing a platform during the election process is a lot different than following through after they’ve been elected. We, as students, have a responsibility to hold the selected candidate accountable for the goals they have set for themselves, now. After all, this is our campus and we are the ones that make up our diverse population. Only we can really see what improvements need to be made by the individual selected for the position.

Iowa State tackles defensive problems
ISU individual tackle statistics Total tackles: 1.) Jarnor Jones: 17 tackles, tied for third in Big 12 2.) Kamari Cotton-Moya: 17 tackles, third in Big 12 3.) Jordan Harris: 16 tackles, tied for fourth in Big 12 4.) Qujuan Floyd: 13 tackles 5.) Dale Pierson: 12 tackles
Sacks: 1.) Dale Pierson: five, leads NCAA Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard breaks a tackle during the second quarter of the game against Iowa State on Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium.
By Luke.Manderfeld, @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State struggled in many facets of its 31-17 loss to Iowa on Saturday but on defense, the Cyclones’ troubles boiled down to one of the most fundamental football skills — tackling. Tackling was one of the key reasons why Iowa State’s defense allowed 21 unanswered points and 232 yards, 159 of them coming through the air, in the second half. “We tackled poor on Saturday,” said ISU head coach Paul Rhoads. “I think I talked about the arm tackling after the game. We were reaching a lot and not finishing all the way to the ball carrier with our hips and feet like you’ve got to. “It was the number one thing that stood out to me poorly about the defense.” The team’s inability to tackle also hindered the ISU defense in its effort to stop the Hawkeyes from breaking explosive plays. Iowa racked up three plays for
45-plus yards, which accounted for about a third of its offense Saturday. Although the team racked up 77 tackles in the game, including seven for a loss with three sacks, it couldn’t consistently tackle when it counted the most — in the open field. Mistakes will be multiplied against a strong Toledo team Saturday, a squad that beat No. 18 Arkansas during the weekend with only 318 yards of total offense. The Rockets’ offense will add more danger to its arsenal with the return of running back Kareem Hunt, who was suspended for the first two games of the season because he violated team policies. Toledo’s first game was cancelled, but Hunt is still slated to be on the field Saturday. Hunt is averaging 7.9 yards per carry in his career after a 1,360-yard season in 2014, a total he amassed despite missing three games with an ankle injury. “The kid’s a very talented, gifted, gifted back,” Rhoads said. “You don’t try to plan to tackle
him with one guy. You try to get a number of people around him, and doing that with a football team that likes to move the ball around.” Hunt and the rest of the Toledo offense will make tackling for the ISU defense paramount Saturday. Rhoads said in order to improve the tackling it will be important for the Cyclones to work on group tackling or “swarm tackling,” along with implementing the proper tackling form. “It’s the team emphasis,” Rhoads said. “Just not allowing the reaching of the arms and not [accepting a lack of hustle] to a play.” Limiting the amount of times the Cyclones have to bring down Rockets in space will also contribute to a more successful defensive effort. Rhoads is running 7-on-7 drills during practice this week to force his players to make group tackles, hoping to encourage surrounding a play rather than chasing it down. But linebacker Jarnor Jones isn’t completely focused on

group tackling. He feels like the team needs to work more on one-on-one tackles in the open field. “That will be one of the big, key concerns going into this week,” Jones said. “I think we will definitely focus in on tackling and open-field tackling and individual tackling; not so much of a group tackle … but more of a one-on-one tackle.” Linebacker Jordan Harris, who has been dubbed the biggest hitter on the ISU squad, hasn’t had a problem tackling so far. He is second on the team with 16 tackles, good for fourth in the Big 12. In practice this week, he also wants the team to improve in the tackling department. That won’t be accomplished with words, but instead Harris will give his teammates examples of what proper tackling looks like. “I try to show them,” Harris said. “If they see me hit somebody, then they’ll know ... we have to do it like that. If they come and ask me, I’ll show them how we do.”

Vondrak works from walk-on to full ride By Garrett.Kroeger @iowastatedaily.com
Iowa State Daily Natalie Vondrak has played in 21 sets this year as a redshirt junior. She’s had a .268 hitting percentage while averaging 1.86 kills per set this year.
Hard work certainly does pay off. Redshirt junior Natalie Vondrak had an accomplished high school volleyball career at Bishop Heelan Catholic in Sioux City, Iowa, where she was a three-time all-state selection and was named to the 2011 state-tournament team during her senior season. Vondrak also averaged 4.22 kills and 3.54 digs per set during her senior year, helping lead Bishop Heelan to a Catholic Youth Organization volleyball championship in 2011. “It was a high-level program,” Vondrak said. “Playing there helped ease the transition to Iowa State.” Although Vondrak had an outstanding high school career, her volleyball merits only attracted top Division II programs like Wayne State and Au-
gustana. Despite having great visits to these Division II programs, Vondrak said she felt there was something missing. “I came to an Iowa State camp during my sophomore year of high school and right after it was over, I knew it was my dream to play here,” Vondrak said. Vondrak decided to pass on her other offers and pursue her dream to play at Iowa State. Vondrak walked on in 2012, redshirting during her freshman year. She did not see a single minute of action that season, but she did earn a partial scholarship the next spring. In her redshirt freshman season, Vondrak saw the court in 37 sets throughout 17 matches. She even made four starts for the Cyclones, as thenstarter Tori Knuth was healing an injured ankle. That season, Vondrak finished with 52 kills, giving
her an average of 1.41 per set and a .291 hitting percentage. She also posted eight kills against Northern Iowa and Texas A&M, career-high marks at the time. Vondrak earned another partial scholarship the following spring with her performance during her redshirt freshman year. “Earning those [partial scholarships] just shows how much hard work I put in,” Vondrak said. After earning two partial scholarships in each of her spring semesters, Vondrak received even better news right before the 2014 season, her third with the team. Head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch brought Vondrak into her office for a meeting. At the end, JohnsonLynch presented her with a full scholarship. “I just froze when she offered me that scholarship ” Vondrak said. “It meant a lot to me.” In her first full sea-
son as a full-ride athlete, Vondrak played in 28 sets throughout 14 matches. She posted 1.39 kills per set and a .240 hitting percentage during 2014. Before the full scholarship, Vondrak had doubts if she made the right decision passing up the full-ride offers she received in high school. “You know, every walk-on has those ‘What if?’ thoughts on did I make the right decision walking on here,” Vondrak said. Despite the doubts, she continued to pursue her dream of playing for the Cyclones, and it paid off. “It feels good knowing that your school is being paid for,” Vondrak said. Vondrak has played in 21 sets in 2015 and has been hitting .268 while averaging 1.86 kills per set. She has also made two starts in nine ISU matches thus far. “Iowa State has molded me into what I wanted to be as a volleyball player,” Vondrak said.
ISU tennis embraces adversity in midst of doubles crisis By Ryan.Leon @iowastatedaily.com “Next man up” is a philosophy constantly preached by coaches at every level in every sport. This idea that any one team can overcome losing a player just by inserting fresh legs will be a focal point for the Cyclones this season. The ISU tennis team is facing a crisis with its doubles teams. The Cyclones are not returning a single duo that competed last year and they know just how crucial winning
the doubles points are for their team. “It’s going to be very important for us to continue to win doubles,” said ISU head coach Armando Espinosa. “Last year, whenever we won the doubles point, we would win the match. And when we lost the point, we usually dropped the match.” The Cyclones aren’t completely lost when it comes to doubles pairs. They have two returning major players, one of which, Samantha Budai, was a member of their most successful tandem last year, where she finished 8-10.
But Budai will have a different partner than she is used to this season. “It’s going to be challenging to adapt to a new partner,” Budai said. “I was with [Ksenia Pronina] my whole time here, but I think we have a team that really loves doubles and can make it work.” Since only parts of the doubles units are returning, it will be up to Espinosa to put the pieces back together to form a working set of teams. Luckily, many of the returning players are upperclassmen who have significant experience.
That, coupled with talented youth, could give the team the parts it needs to succeed. Another positive aspect of the doubles openings is the opportunity to give younger players a chance to get some much needed exposure. Almost every spot is up for grabs, and this competition is the kind of thing that could cultivate some of the young potential. One of the younger players looking to benefit is Liza Buss, an incoming freshman from Togliatti, Russia. Buss was a topranked doubles player in
Russia and accumulated many accolades, including 15 state championships and a runner-up finish in the Russian 18U National Doubles Championship. “I’m very excited because I’ve always loved playing doubles,” Buss said. “We have a lot of players here who also love it, so I can see coach having a difficult time deciding who to play.” Espinosa has taken a fundamental approach to the situation to make sure whoever he plays will be comfortable in the doubles format. He has constantly stressed the fundamentals
of the game to everyone to make the adjustment that much easier for the new potential teams. “We want to make sure they all know what to expect in terms of shot selection and trust with their partners,” Espinosa said. “If you are doing the right things and your partner is setting you up, anyone can shine as a doubles player.” The Cyclones have plenty of time before their first match at the Gopher Invitational on Sept. 25, but it will be a tough hill to climb putting together a doubles roster from scratch.

Fashion Week trends on a budget By Anna.Chandler @iowastatedaily.com Coachella-like festival wear is not only appropriate at set venues and times, but is becoming ever prevalent in daily style. New York Fashion Week sets the stage for what the upcoming season’s clothing is going to look like each September and February. Fringe has been present the past couple seasons, but Spring 2016 turns the notch up a few more levels and is a boho overload. The 70s trend is set from the bucket hats at BCBGMAXAZRIA to flowy prints at Diane Von Furstenberg and elegant fringe just about everywhere. Though these designers’ prices exceed many college students’ average budgets, more reasonably-priced fashion retailers will be quick to follow. Retailers like Forever 21, H&M, Zara, TopShop and Urban Outfitters have more than likely already begun designing look-alike pieces.The quality typically does not compare to the handmade garments seen in fashion shows, but they’re great resources for students on a budget who like to be trendy. Shopping at the retailers listed above can be a

beneficial way to incorporate New York Fashion Week trends into campus-appropriate outfits. For example, take bucket hats, like the ones seen in BCBGMAXAZRIA. They can
be paired with a tapered skinny jean and structured oxford style top. On a warmer day, a flowy printed dress, similar to Diane Von Furstenberg’s, pairs well with a neutral
Importing new styles By Janae.Verhelst @iowastatedaily.com It is not a surprise to most that the style overseas is significantly different than it is in the Midwest. Returning from overseas programs and study abroad adventures and then deciding which trends to bring back to the United States can be difficult, but also exciting. Shoes are huge in Italy. Europeans live in shoeboxsize apartments, but still manage to have an amazing collection of great shoes. After seeing women walk the cobblestone streets of Florence in high heels, it’s obvious that they have several years of experience. But we should definitely not try this one on Iowa State’s campus. A comfortable solution to high heels on campus is platform shoes. Platform shoes were very noteworthy throughout Italy, Denmark, England and France. Sandals with platforms and sneakers were prominent and seen frequently. The Midwest has yet to catch onto this trend, but it is definitely one to invest in. Not only can you bring European clothing styles back to the Midwest, you can also bring home various hairstyles and accessories. Effortless hair - Long hair is everywhere and it looks perfect on just about everyone. European women have an amazing ability to have great looking hair that looks effortlessly natural. The less kept, the better. Since it is so hot and humid in Italy and many other European countries, it can be hard to keep your hair under control in the first place. Arm Cuffs - One trend that is already very prevalent in the United States is the arm cuff. Every Italian vendor was selling cuffs and hundreds of silver rings and watches. Cool sunglasses - Thick 70s style glasses were everywhere, along with RayBan reflectors and designer frames. Each face shape can
outfit when paired properly with simple pieces and compatible colors. It works on a crossbody bag, a button-up relaxed shirt or on a pair of suede boots.

When shopping to fit the latest trend, consider your options. These extravagant trends will evolve and change over time, and nobody wants to be left behind. It is clever to invest in classic pieces like blazers and pair them with less expensive, trendy items to stay keen on fashion trends. Investing in pieces that will not go out of style is a better idea than investing in a trendy piece that may only be around for a season or two. In regard to beauty trends, NYFW has been frequently showcasing bold makeup and dramatic, voluminous hairstyles. A brick-red bold lip, paired with simplified eye makeup, draws attention to the bold color. A dark manicure, whether black, burgundy or plum, can be bold and daring for the chilly autumn months. Hair trends keep getting bigger. Curls can be dramatized with a teasing comb and hair spray, or a modernized bouffant can be worn with a plethora of outfits. So bring on the colors. Layer random pieces, mix textures, heighten your beauty routine with bold lips and big hair and add a little fringe to your style for the new season.

Whether you have studied abroad, keeping up on the latest fashion trends is a must, as they are everchanging and can be hard to find in the Midwest. Fashion trends and fads will always exist, but the key to any outfit is adding your own style.
The fifth annual Duct Tape Fashion Show that was scheduled to showcase designs Thursday at the University Book Store has been cancelled because of minimal interest. Coordinator Amy DeLashmutt seeks eight to 10 designers each year who are interested in competing to create wearable, duct tape garments. Participants are welcome in teams of one or two, and students of any major can join. The University Book Store provides complimentary duct tape rolls to participants, but any additional rolls needed must be purchased by the students. Additionally, strict guidelines are laid out that participants must follow. While the garments must be made entirely of duct tape, fasteners and closures can be added for extra support. Velcro and zippers are among the closures that are approved for usage. Other simple garments, like T-shirts, may be used to help construct the garment, but they must be covered entirely by duct

tape before submission. The garments are judged on creativity, use of duct tape, workmanship and originality. Best in show awards are given to first, second and third place winners. People’s choice is also awarded. “The duct tape fashion show is about fun and showcasing student talent,” DeLashmutt said. “The first year we had the show we were so amazed at the fashions students had created. It’s just a fun way to interact with the store on a whole different level and not just through purchasing.” Previous participants
found the competition to be a fun learning experience, where both time management and originality were tested. After receiving duct tape from the University Book Store, designers in the past have had a week to complete the fashions before submitting. Once they’re submitted, little alterations can be made before the day of the fashion show. Although the show has been cancelled this semester, DeLashmutt hopes to try again in the spring. A date has not been scheduled.

Multicultural p1 this morning because people knew it was me in the video.” Alcivar and Rubio are not strangers to public protests, but many of the protesters did not know what to expect when they went to the tailgate.
Jasmin Cabrera, junior in psychology, did not expect the reactions she got from the crowd Saturday. “Honestly, I had never been in an environment like that before,” she said. “I was scared, it was overwhelming.” Cabrera said the crowd around the protesters
Kristof p3 began to consume the majority of his writings. “We don’t have the right to tell other countries what to do with problems going on here,” Kristof said. Following his notes on human trafficking and sex slavery, Kristof further went into problems surrounding America. He talked about the correlation between American teen pregnancy and European teenage pregnancy and said that 30 percent of American girls will

right language?’” Alcivar said. The EcuadorianAmerican pointed out that many protesters were not from Mexico. Rubio expressed disappointment in ISU President Stephen Leath. Rubio was not happy with the president for posing, smiling and giving a

He then talked about how everyday medicine that Americans take for granted, such as deworming medication, could impact girls in developing countries who are most effected by the disease. “When you have intestinal parasites, the food you eat isn’t going to you, it’s going to the worms,” Kristof said. “You’re tired, you’re listless, you’re missing school and this is something that is easily remedied by one pill, once a year
and the cost of administering is incredibly cheap.” Following deworming, Kristof talked about the importance of intervening with at-risk children early on, so they can have a better life. “Talent is universal, but opportunity is not,” Kristof said. Speaking of the empathy gap in America, Kristof explained why bridging this gap between the rich and the poor, the middleclass and impoverished is so important. Kristof promoted challenging this empathy gap
though education. Jane Kersch, member of the lecture committee, read Kristof’s book “Half the Sky,” and was relived to hear both new and old stories throughout his lecture. “I think this topic is really important to hear the personal stories of the people that are affected by the issue to humanize it,” Kersch said. Kristof talked about three people who influenced his writing and were an inspirational to society. These people included a young girl who raised money for water for devel-
oping countries, a young black man who grew up to be influential within racial issues surrounding black men and women, and his own father. Abhijit Patwa, senior in mechanical engineering, has been an avid follower of Kristof’s op-ed column in the New York Times. Patwa enjoyed the lecture and most importantly the discussion on the empathy gap. He described it as an eye-opener and appreciated the connection Kristof made by telling real-life stories.
