Even 70 years later, the siblings share fond memories of their childhood spent on campus. The Manhattan Project In 1939, just before the start of WWII, scientists in Germany discovered a way to split the atom using neutrons. Kathy Svec, copresident of the Ames Historical Society said, when the atom split apart in the material uranium, they got a fizz. That fizz was energy releasing from the atom. Shortly after, German forces invaded Poland and began the Second World War in Europe within 50 years. Svec said many scientists in

The Faculty Senate met Tuesday for the first time this semester and focused on discussions surrounding the new University of Iowa president, as well as hearing a presentation related to Information Technology security on campus. Before the minutes from the last meeting were voted on, the senate voted to suspend its rules and talk about a special motion. The motion would send a letter detailing its thoughts to the Iowa Board of Regents about the UI Faculty Senate’s “no confidence” vote. The Senate voted unanimously to approve the letter. “The intent is to allow the faculty at University of Iowa to know that we value the same principals that they do,” said Rob Wallace, president of Faculty Senate and associate professor of ecology, evolution and organismal biology. “This is a statement of collegiality with our colleagues at the University of Iowa.” Wallace said he will email the letter to Board of Regents President Bruce Rastetter and Iowa’s Faculty Senate President Christina Bohannan, as well as send a copy to President Steven Leath. “We wholeheartedly reaffirm our commitment to openness and transparency,” the letter said. The one-page letter goes on to talk about the foundations that unite the three universities in Iowa and that the ISU Faculty Senate supports what is happening between the Board of Regents and the Faculty Senate at Iowa. “We support the ongoing dialogue between the University of Iowa Faculty Senate and the Board of Regents to reestablish trust and confidence that faculty input is important and respected,” the letter said. Annemarie Butler, secretary for the senate and associate professor of philosophy and religious studies, said a nice feature of this is it doesn’t play the blame game. The letter was co-authored by Butler and Steven Freeman, university professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering, but will be signed by Wallace on behalf of the ISU Faculty Senate. “Our hope is to move forward and focus on shared governance,”

Changing history’s course ISU family recalls father’s role in the Manhattan Project By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com

hen Lorna Wilhelm Livingston sat down with her father for breakfast one day, she asked him in all seriousness, “Dad, what do you really do?” Normally, this question would not be an issue for a father to answer his daughter. However, for Harley Wilhelm, it was. All of his children, including Lorna, understood that their father was working on a project at Iowa State, but it was something they were told not to talk about. But on that day while Lorna was in college, Harley Wilhelm said he would give his daughter

three ideas. “Say a ship is going across the ocean and it disappears,” he told her. “Or, let’s say New York City is there today, but it’s not there tomorrow.” “You’re making a bomb,” Lorna said. “I must have been right,” she said, 70 years later. “He never gave me the third option.” Wilhelm was in fact building a bomb. In the midst of World War II, safe from the conflict in Ames, he led the research taking place at Iowa State that changed the world. U.S. military bombers dropped the world’s first atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima in Japan on Aug. 6, 1945 during the last year of World War II. Three days later, another bomb engulfed Nagasaki. Wilhelm called his wife, who had no idea what Harley was doing at his job. “Turn on the radio,” he said, disclosing his big secret. “This

is what we’ve been working on.” Wilhelm kept the secret of his work at the university for about three years. But as the city of Hiroshima was engulfed in an atomic blast, and the news raced across the world, he was released from keeping that secret. Until that moment, however, Wilhelm could not reveal the facts of his job, let alone the existence of the Manhattan Project, even to his family. The Wilhelm Children Wilhelm began his career at ISU when he earned his Ph.D. from Iowa State in 1931 and became an assistant professor in 1940. He married Orpha Lutton in 1923, and together they had four children. Lorna, who was born in 1926, is followed by Max, who was born in 1928. The younger sisters Myrna and Gretchen were born in 1929 and 1938, respectively. As children, the Wilhelm siblings often spent time at their father’s office in the Chemistry

Administrators react to protests at ISU By Adam.Sodders @iowastatedaily.com Representatives from two ISU administration offices have given their thoughts on Saturday’s silent demonstration, as well as various presidential candidates visits to the Cy-Hawk tailgate. Tensions still run high as community members look towards administration during the aftermath of the protest during the Cy-Hawk tailgate last weekend. The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs hosted a discussion Monday night in the aftermath of the protest. Protesters shared their experience, which many said included being jeered at and harassed by supporters of presidential candidates. Among the most talked about concerns at the discussion were the photos taken of Republican presidential candidate and billionaire businessman Donald Trump with ISU President Steven Leath prior to Saturday’s game. “Some have interpreted [the photos] as President Leath supporting or endorsing Trump, and that is not the case at all,” said Miles Lackey, associate vice president and chief of staff for the Office of the President. Lackey said Leath takes advantage of any opportunity to engage current and potential political office holders, no matter what party or affiliation they claim. Both Lackey and a statement given Tuesday afternoon by Leath deny any political affiliation or endorse-

ment of any candidate. “As president I do not and will not endorse any candidate, but I will accept any opportunity to discuss higher education policy,” Leath said in the statement. Lackey said the government plays a key role in funding regent universities. “The federal government is a major supporter of Iowa State,” Lackey said. “It would be shortsighted not to engage these presidential candidates.” Leath said he was not attempting to support any candidate in any way. Some students said they did not like that Leath was seen with Trump in photos taken of the two, such as Jovani Rubio, senior in mechanical engineering. “What [Leath] did was wrong,” Rubio said. Denise Williams-Klotz, assistant director of the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (MSA), was present at the post-protest discussion. She said the role of MSA was to give students a chance to have productive conversation. “I think some of the students were offended,” she said. She said political leanings and feelings toward Trump’s comments on immigration and Latinos probably influenced many students’ and protesters’ opinions. Williams-Klotz said it was not the job of her office to agree with all students but to facilitate conversation that would move the university forward. Lackey said it is unclear exactly when Leath learned about

the treatment of the protesters. He said Leath has been out of the state since Sunday. “Harassment evidence has been trickling in,” Lackey said. He added the position of the president is that the actions of harassment against the peaceful protesters were deplorable. One part of the Leath’s statement refers to protester harassment. Part of the statement is in response to a video showing Shelby Mueller, 20, of West Des Moines ripping a sign held by Rubio. Muel-

ler is not an ISU student. “These [derogatory] actions are deplorable and not consistent with the type of atmosphere the university seeks to maintain,” Leath’s statement said. “[Mueller’s] actions and the disrespectful actions of others have no place on our campus.” Mueller also issued an apology Monday, saying it was a mistake to rip Rubio’s poster. “I wasn’t thinking. I don’t have anything against him at all. I respect his belief and that

we may have different beliefs on some things,” Mueller said. “This is something that got taken out of context and I never meant for anyone to get so upset about it.” Lackey also said he was in opposition to the actions of other people at the political events Saturday. “It is unacceptable, when folks are having a peaceful protest, to say derogatory remarks or destroy their personal property,” Lackey said. “It’s absolutely ridiculous that people would behave like that.”

Club allows students opportunity to fly By Lindsay.Greifzu @iowastatedaily.com It’s hard to get much of anything of value for $30, but an ISU club gets its members off to a flying start toward their pilot’s license with just that. The Flying Cyclones is a club for aviation enthusiasts of all kinds. Members, after paying yearly dues of only $30, have the chance to go on flights with the club’s pilots, attend fly-ins and go on trips. The club currently has about 350 members, but it is expecting more growth during the school year. A majority of members do not have their pilot’s license, and the Flying Cyclones is a club for anyone interested in flying. “I’ve loved aviation ever since I was a kid, and I get to hang out with people who have the same interests as me,” said Andrew Advani, junior in aerospace engineering and president of the Flying Cyclones. The Flying Cyclones likes to keep members occupied with events during the school year. All flights are done with Hap’s Air Service in Ames. Members can take part in recreational flights around Ames and the local area by using an online scheduler called CyFly. Most of the flights are local to in-state aviation museums, air shows and fly-ins. Fly-ins are where several pilots fly into one airport, eat lunch, share stories and

build relationships within the aviation community. The club does these in the fall and in the spring, and it encourages new members to attend fly-ins and meet new people. Nathan Eick, senior in mechanical engineering and treasurer of Flying Cyclones, has his pilot’s license and has been flying for two and a half years. He started in high school and continued at Iowa State once he found the club. “The community of pilots is really broad,” Eick said. “There are a lot of us. We’re not commercial pilots, just general aviation pilots with a really cool community.” In addition to recreational flights and fun events, the club offers classes for aspiring pilots. Acquiring a pilot’s license can be a lengthy process and is composed of a written and practical exam. Flying Cyclones can help students acquire a license by teaching the ground school program, which meets twice a week for about 10 weeks during the fall semester. “The club has a certified flying instructor that teaches ground school to help prepare for the written test,” Advani said. “It teaches about how the plane works, technical textbook knowledge of aviation.” If a member wants to continue on to receive a license, he or she must pay for the rest of the train-

ing, which is usually about $5,000-$10,000. This includes both of the exams and 40 hours of flight time. It takes an average of about six months to acquire a pilot’s license and can be done through Hap’s Air Service or any other air service around the country. Eick compares flying a one-engine plane to driving a car. “It’s a practical means of transportation,” he said. “Aviation is something that will touch us all in the future.”

Francis aims to aid planet

Council meeting addresses land use

By Danni.Toughill @iowastatedaily.com

Anne Clifford’s lecture Tuesday night concerning Pope Francis’ encyclical letter on ecology took an in-depth approach in attempting to further explain his main idea. “What kind of world do we want to leave to those who come after us, to children who are now growing up?” Pope Francis asked. In the Sun Room of the Memorial Union, Clifford, who is the current Monsignor James A. Supple Chair of Catholic Studies at Iowa State, focused on examining Pope Francis’s idea and encyclical letter in anticipation of his visit to the United States. An encyclical is a letter from the pope to promote worldwide knowledge on a major issue. Francis’ encyclical ecology was released in June and focuses entirely on the environment. The official title of Pope Francis’ encyclical is “Laudato Si’,” which trans-

lates to “Praise be,” and has many unique features that other encyclicals have not had. The pope cites Eastern Orthodox Christian, Protestant and Muslim authors and also admitted, without being prompted, that he was not the only primary author. Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana also assisted in writing the encyclical. Both the pope and the cardinal are from the global south and “less-developed” economic regions. Another unique feature of the encyclical is that Francis calls for dialogue 30 times. And while other popes have addressed environmental problems, only Francis has devoted his entire encyclical to the environment. Encyclicals encourage people around the world to take action in the matter at hand. Pope Francis will arrive at Joint Base Andrews at 4 p.m. Sept. 22 and will be greeted by President Obama. It is Francis’ first trip to

the United States, and he is visiting Washington, New York and Philadelphia. Francis will address the United Nations on Sept. 25. Other popes have chosen to follow up their encyclicals with action such as installing solar panels in the Vatican City. Francis has chosen to begin his encyclical followup by addressing the United Nations and proposing sustainable development goals. Clifford demonstrated in her lecture that we can work together to take care of the environment and care for our common home if each person chooses to take steps in the right direction. The pope asked, “What kind of world do we want to leave to those who come after us, to children who are now growing up?” A response awaits.

At a special meeting of Ames City Council on Tuesday night, council members discussed the Land Use Policy Plan update they had last visited during meeting June 23. The council asked city staff in June to develop a strategy to address immediate needs for housing in Ames within the next five to 10 years and to work toward a rewrite of the plan by 2020. Staff determined there is “readily serviceable land,” or land within the city of Ames that is owned by a developer who is likely to develop it. The land available could accommodate up to 1,370 single-family homes without any changes to the current plan. With record growth at Iowa State, staff estimated that the city’s plan for multi-family housing and apartments will be sufficient for another four to eight years.

The city of Ames also has more than 350 acres of land that is available for commercial and industrial growth. If developed, these 350 acres of land could potentially provide 8,000 new jobs in Ames. Councilwoman Gloria Betcher expressed concern that there would not be sufficient space in Ames for up to 8,000 new employees. Kelly Diekmann, planning and housing director for Ames, agreed the city of Ames itself would not be prepared to support that amount of growth at this time. Overall, staff found that the current plan is sufficient to meet commercial and housing needs in Ames but presented six tasks for the city to address in the next two years as part of a first phase to update the plan. The six tasks that were presented during the meeting included focuses on transportation infrastructure, high-density policies for multi-family housing and utility service plans for

expected growth in southwest Ames. Phase two of the plan update will be a rewrite of the policy, which staff suggests should begin in two years and take two to three years to complete. “Do you have a sense of the current demand on multi-family housing? Specifically, was there enough capacity to buffer the growth of 1,200 students over the past year?” said Sam Schulte, ex-officio council member from Iowa State. Diekmann said the city is about a year behind in market demand for housing for ISU growth, but the city’s report does not include additional housing provided by the university itself. “These are good problems to have,” said Councilman Tim Gartin, speaking of the struggle in Ames to accommodate rapid population growth. The council voted unanimously in favor of staff’s two-phase recommendation to update the Land Use Policy Plan.

Kevin Amidon, associate professor of world languages and cultures, said he supported the letter. “We all share an interest in a functioning, collaborative culture,” Amidon said. “They feel as if the candidate was imposed on the campus without any consultation.” The recent “no confidence” vote sent shockwaves throughout the state, with the Iowa’s Student Senate and Graduate and Professional Student Senate also joining in the vote voicing their displeasure

Kurtenbach talked about how the number of malicious attacks against the university was reaching new levels. In 60 days, the university saw nearly 1,500 attacks on its infrastructure, said

Threats don’t contribute to constructive discussion

Korrie BystedIowa State Daily

U.S Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., speaks about his campaign platform at Torrent Brewing Company in Ames on May 30. Sanders, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, has labeled himself as a socialist. However, people need to look past this label to understand his policies that would benefit the country.

Look past socialist label Focus on Sanders’ policies, possibility for bipartisanship By Michael.Heckle @iowastatedaily.com

s the 2016 presidential elections creep closer every day, Iowa is becoming its usual coliseum for presidential candidates. While most eyes, even those of some of my peers, are unfortunately focused on Donald Trump, many are ignoring the policies and beliefs of a man who I personally believe will become the Democratic presidential nominee: Bernie Sanders. Sanders’ progressive policies and grassroots connection with many voters have resulted in a spike of support, especially during the past few weeks. But no other candidate is as misrepresented as Sanders. Sanders has painted a target on his back by calling himself a socialist. People must first make the distinction between Marxist socialism and democratic socialism, which is what Sanders considers himself to be, when discussing the policies of Bernie Sanders. Socialism is a dangerous word here in the United States, as it is often incorrectly synonymous with communism. With the climate of the “Red Scare” a mere 60 years in the past, it is incredible that a person who aligns himself with such a taboo term could even be considered for president. But here we are. Americans tend to align socialism with governments such as the

Soviet Union, Vietnam and North Korea. But most Americans don’t realize that socialist practices are alive and well here in the United States and benefit many people on a daily basis. Social welfare such as food stamps and social security owes its creation to socialism. Sanders compares his policies to the democratic socialism used in Scandinavian countries in northern Europe such as Sweden and Norway. These countries are considered to be some of the happiest countries in the world. The main difference between a prosperous socialist country and a totalitarian regime is how the economy interacts with the government. Democratic socialism requires, as the name states, a democracy. As Sanders said earlier this month, Democratic socialists desire “a government which reflects the interest of ordinary people.” They do not wish to rid the country of big business but rather encourage the billionaire class to pay its fair share. Sanders believes education and health care are rights of the people and therefore should be provided by the government. Sanders argues that capitalism can still thrive and can even be enhanced by some of these policies. Another advantage to Sanders is his vigorous attacks against campaigns funded by billionaire corporations. To me, this shows some integrity of what Sanders says. He doesn’t support taxing big business and then receiving millions of dollars in campaign funding like some of his peers. The majority of his funds come from ordinary people. This gives the hope that the American people

can have a candidate who actually listens to them instead of one who mindlessly shakes hands and kisses babies. Sanders is considered to be an independent. He is just running for the Democratic Party’s nomination. Because of this, it’s possible that we may see more bipartisanship, which is something this country desperately needs. Sanders is also committed to running a more positive campaign ads instead of attacking other candidates. This is a nice breath of fresh air, especially since ad season is creeping up. As someone who opposed the Affordable Care Act and grew up on a strong anti-socialist identity, I have been skeptical of Sanders’ claims. My biggest concern with socialism has always been the abuse of welfare systems and the incentive to work, which Sanders has not fully addressed. But compared to other presidential hopefuls, I have trouble counting him out. The American people appear to be stuck with some very poor choices for the next president. On the right, we have a bigoted, rude, self-aggrandized billionaire with seemingly no regard for the hard-working minorities in this country, along with a handful of theocrats. On the left, we have a seemingly habitual liar and a vice president who makes a fool of himself every time he has a camera on him. Whether you agree with Sanders’ policies, he has shown a lot of promise. He is a candidate who deserves more attention and consideration by the American people.

Many freshmen live on campus in dorms. Columnist Brase advocates livng in off-campus apartments, which offer students flexibility when it comes to cost since rent and groceries are usually cheaper. Living in an apartment also teaches a person about how to live life as an adult after graduation.

Living in apartments benefits students Explore benefits from off campus By Haley.Brase @iowastatedaily.com Housing is a huge battle college students face, and with growing enrollment numbers, it’s having to be fought earlier and earlier. It’s especially important for freshmen looking ahead to their sophomore year in college because the question of whether to reside in the dorms has pros and cons. When looking at the numbers, living in an apartment is the smartest move. In most cases, it is better for freshmen to live in the dorms. Sharing a cramped dorm room with someone tests patience. It is also comforting to enter freshman year with a built-in

buddy. Having buffet access via a meal plan, meeting new people in your building and living 10 minutes from any of your classes has its perks. That is until you realize how much those meal bundles and tiny dorms actually cost. After living in a dorm room for a year and eating the dining center food, trust me, it will get old. Apartment living is a luxury. A student spends about $8,000 for room and board per academic year, according to the Office of Student Financial Aid. A student could instead find an apartment off campus that could be as cheap as $4,000 to rent for an academic year. Location and amenities offered by the apartment complex will of course be linked to how much rent and utilities cost. I can safely say as a student that it is cheaper in the long run to live in an apartment than on

campus. Students who eat at the campus dining centers spend around $4,000 on their meals per year, according to ISU Dining. To break that down, student’s who have the cardinal plan will be playing $518.36 a month for food. That’s way more money than you’d spend on grocries per month. Making your own meals and buying groceries as an apartment resident will teach you how to budget, make food that is healthier and tastier than dining center options, and ultimately demonstrate how to start living as an adult. It is cheaper than $4,000. I liked living on campus because of the cliché reason — making new friends — but I also liked living close to different social activities I took part in on campus. Living off campus means

either taking CyRide or driving your car to the commuter lot by Jack Trice Stadium, which can be a bit annoying. CyRide has 93 buses, driving about 6,619,182 people per year, according to CyRide’s website. It’s easy to find CyRide bus routes using the MyState app, to help with the commute. College is supposed to prepare students for the real world, and living in a dorm is living in a fantasy land. Starting to live as an adult as early as possible will make you better prepared for finding a place to live, commuting to a job, cooking your own meals and budgeting your money. Sorry to break it to you, but the dining centers will not prepare food for you and CyRide will not cater to your need of transportation once you graduate, unless you choose to live in Ames. Do not act like an adult. Be an adult.

#shelbymueller. The trending social media label has garnered national attention after the Iowa vs. Iowa State football tailgate Saturday, when Shelby Mueller, 20, ripped a Donald Trump protester’s sign that said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.” Mueller, who does not attend Iowa State or the University of Iowa, was caught on video and different social media platforms have become a breeding ground for expression of opinion on her actions. Reactions that ensued after the original story broke could have only been mildly predicted. Information and visuals about what happened Saturday would of course spark debate - as it should especially considering the national attention on Trump’s comments and undocumented immigrants. This event is a perfect example of what the millennial generation uses as fuel to a social fire. It’s a perfect example for this generation to use to continue a constructive discussion about racism in America and what we, as a generation, can do to work toward

Many people have threathened Shelby Mueller after she ripped a protester’s sign Saturday. These threats aren’t constructive or helpful.

a more inclusive country. Some opinions and comments have been constructive. But some have just been absolutely useless to a productive, reasonable conversation. What Mueller did was disrespectful. We’re not saying what she did was OK, but she, too, was expressing her own opinion, albeit a bit ill-mannered. We’re not defending her actions. There is absolutely no need for anyone on the internet to disclose her address and encourage others to threaten her to “teach her a lesson.” Unnecessary aggressive comments on Mueller’s appearance, family and background are not constructive to a discussion that could possibly change how we, in America view racism, immigration and inclusion. The conversation has moved away from bringing us positively forward in society, to childlike attacks on a woman who made a public mistake. Calling her offensive gender-specific names does not make the situation any better. How do death threats change this moment into a movement in any way? What does calling this 20-year-old woman a “dumb white bitch” or a “stupid whore” do to improve our views on policies and methods that could improve the immigration processes for this country? What does telling her “I better not see you in the streets” have to do with creating a culture where we accept people of different races, nationalities and backgrounds? She apologized. Though that does not erase her actions, it is a step in her recognizing what she did was wrong. Social media presents an opportunity to say what you want with little consequence from the protection provided by a screen. Just because it’s easy to type, doesn’t mean it’s good to say. It’s time to move on from personally attacking this woman. It’s time to take what she did, learn from it and use it as a lesson to move us forward. It’s time to have a civil discussion on the issues we face.

Volleyball preps for stingy defense

AN EMERGING PATTERN During the last two meetings between Iowa State and Northern Iowa, a pattern has emerged.. In each of the two matchups — both of which were in Cedar Falls, Iowa — Iowa State won the first two sets fairly easily, Northern Iowa rebounded to take the next two and Iowa State rallied to claim the fifth set and the match. Here are the stats from those last two matches: Sept. 4, 2013 Set 1: 25-13 (Iowa State) Set 2: 25-20 (Iowa State) Set 3: 21-25 (Northern Iowa) Set 4: 21-25 (Northern Iowa) Set 5: 15-9 (Iowa State) Sept. 24, 2014 Set 1: 25-21 (Iowa State) Set 2: 28-26 (Iowa State) Set 3: 19-25 (Northern Iowa) Set 4: 16-25 (Northern Iowa) Set 5: 15-10 (Iowa State)

Cyclones ready for tough matchup against Panthers By Kevin.Horner @iowastatedaily.com

Historically, a win against Northern Iowa has rarely come easy for the ISU volleyball team. Since 1977, the in-state competitors have matched up 52 times and have split the series down the middle, each team winning 26 games. It’s been just as competitive recently, with the past two games decided in the fifth set. Iowa State will have the opportunity to take the series lead on Sept. 16 as the Cyclones square off against the Panthers at Hilton Coliseum. Although Iowa State has won the last three matches against UNI, the Cyclones are not going to overlook their familiar opponent. “[Northern Iowa] battles,” said redshirt junior Morgan Kuhrt. “They are such a battling team. Their defense is crazy; they get everything up.” In both 2013 and 2014, it took a couple of battles to defeat the Panthers. In both instances, Iowa State jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, claiming the opening two sets with little trouble. However, UNI rallied to claim the next two sets in both of those games — at times with similar or less difficulty than the Cyclones had in the first two. Nevertheless, the Cyclones found a way to rally and claim both of the final sets.

Outside hitter Morgan Kuhrt, left, and middle blocker Alexis Conaway miss a block from an Iowa hitter Friday. The team plays UNI on Wednes-

“They come back in the third and fourth games because they don’t let any ball hit the ground,” said senior Caitlin Nolan. “They’re always a really good defensive team.” Northern Iowa’s tough defense of past seasons continues to be a major defining factor for the team this season. Through 37 sets, UNI has recorded 665 digs. Although that number places the Panthers at just No. 16 in total digs among Division I teams, in terms of efficiency — or, digs per set — UNI ranks fourth. The Panthers have averaged 17.97 digs per set through nine matches this season. Compared to Iowa State’s nine previous opponents in 2015, UNI holds a 4.26-point advantage.

So how will the Cyclones compensate for those extra digs that UNI will put up? “Calling out smart shots and being resilient,” Nolan said. “You might not get the first kill always. It might be the fourth or fifth kill.” In the Cy-Hawk match on Sept. 11, the Cyclones saw a similarly stingy defense from Iowa. When Iowa State was beginning to mount a comeback in the fourth set after dropping the previous two, it was the Hawkeyes who stepped up defensively. As ISU volleyball coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said after the loss to Iowa, it was the ability of the Hawkeyes to, “Make some spectacular plays to keep the ball alive” that led to their eventual defeat of the Cyclones.

Johnson-Lynch did not just attribute the defensive effort to Iowa’s defense alone, but also to the extra push of the Cy-Hawk rivalry. Although the UNI-Iowa State rivalry is not as publicized as the CyHawk, the in-state matchup may still provide that extra boost needed for a final push — potentially in the fifth set — as both teams have become accustomed to when playing each other. “It’s fun to play another team from Iowa,” said sophomore Alexis Conaway. “The crowd is bigger, and there’s a lot of excitement going on. We really just to want to take it to them, compete hard and have a fun game.” The Cyclones and Panthers will square off at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Hilton Coliseum.

ISU defensive end Dale Pierson is sacking up Lineman leads nation in sacks By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com Dale Pierson slunk out of Jack Trice Stadium in August of 2014, his shoulders stooped under the disappointment of his first game as a Cyclone. Iowa State was beaten soundly by North Dakota State, 34-14, and the thenjunior defensive end knew the difference he could have made had he merely been afforded the opportunity. “I was real discouraged,” Pierson said. “Only getting three snaps, not really feeling like I had a real chance.” Fast forward a year later, and Pierson stands atop the NCAA with five sacks after only two games. And now, Pierson’s reputation is expanding with each passing week. But anytime anyone poses the question ‘How many sacks you going to get the next game?’ Pierson doesn’t respond with numbers or predictions; only with two words — “God willing.” “I try not to make a big deal out of it,” Pierson said. “Social media has been blowing up big time. I mean I care about it of course. That’s a big achievement. I just think of it as — I just got to keep going.” And it was that attitude, that drive, which guided Pierson through a discouraging initial season in cardinal and gold. Throughout the 2014 campaign, Pierson would appear in every game and actually started the final two contests — finishing the season with 29 tackles including 4.5 for loss and two sacks. But he struggled to reconcile his limited role for much of the year with the expectations he held for himself. For help, Pierson leaned on his family. “I was talking to [defensive coordinator Wally Burnham] and [defensive line coach Stan Eggen], and they were telling me that they used to look out the window and see me talking on the phone all the time, and I didn’t know that they were watching me do that,” Pierson laughed. “I was always calling my family back home and just talking to them about

the hard time I was having, and what I needed to do. And they were telling me ‘Just stick it out.’ ” Pierson’s 1-year-old daughter Jazlynn joined him in Ames in January and helped put things into perspective. After a disappointing 2-10 season for the team, but one in which Pierson came on during the final four games, he has returned his focus to what he does best. Putting in work. “Dale, it’s not even a question, he works the hardest,” said linebacker Jarnor Jones. “Just watching him motivates us.” And Pierson, understanding that in his final collegiate season he would receive the chance to accomplish all the things he’d hoped for when he transferred from Pasadena Community College in 2014, made his goals clear early and often. “I looked up the record [for sacks at Iowa State],” Pierson said. “And I told some of you guys that I wanted to be the best defensive end that ever came out of here. And back then, I don’t think too many people really took it heavily. “It’s a little different now.” Pierson’s numbers speak for themselves, but there remains reason to be

baffled by his early success. Standing at 6 foot 2 and only 250 pounds, Pierson’s size falls significantly short of the prototypical defensive end. Linebacker Jordan Harris said regardless of his physical stature, Pierson is pound for pound one of the best linemen in the country, adding that his ability starts with unique athleticism and ends with tenacity.

“He’s athletic. He’s fast too. And that’s hard for offensive linemen to block. It’s hard for anyone to block on this level, and he’s real good with his hands,” Harris said. “He’s got that engine, he’s not going to stop. I saw on film Dale running some plays down from behind. You don’t have defensive ends running plays down from behind.”

It doesn’t hurt that Pierson believes many offensive linemen paint a picture of him from only what they see on paper, a significant mistake. “I think I make it work for me. I think that other offensive linemen, I’m not sure, but I kind of think that they see [my size and think,] ‘He’s not going to be as strong, or he’s not going be able to get my hands off him,’” Pierson said. Defensive coordinator Wally Burnham’s transition to the 3-4 scheme was predicated on getting more athletes on the field, and the resurgent pass rush — which has amassed a total of nine sacks through two games after totaling only 15 sacks in 12 games last season — was the result the ISU coaching staff envisioned when contemplating the change. Pierson is the embodiment of that vision. “He’s just a tremendous, hard-working, overachieving kid,” Burnham said. “ He’s got a lot of good traits for this defense.” The defense’s sack total of nine through two games is tied for fifth in the nation, and Pierson’s five sacks already slate him better than halfway to his goal of the ISU record — set in 2006 by Shawn Moorehead, who tallied 8.5 sacks that season. While the defense still

A FEVERISH PACE ISU defensive end Dale Pierson is leading the nation in sacks with five after two games. On pace to smash the ISU single-season record of 8.5, if Pierson keeps up his current clip of dropping opposing quarterbacks, he’ll finish the season with a whopping 30 sacks. While unlikely, it’s fun to consider. “If he can get two and a half [per] game the rest of the way, we’ll be happy,” Wally Burnham joked. has a lot to work on, it’s safe to say that the pass rush is back in Ames in a big way. And around the ISU campus and the nation, people are beginning to take notice. “How ‘bout that?” asked ISU coach Paul Rhoads. “An Iowa State Cyclone is leading the nation in sacks. That’s something to take note of.”

Muscle loss may be mitigated for older adults Dietary supplements, exercise keep muscles strong longer By Mariah.Griffith @iowastatedaily.com Every muscle in your body expands and contracts to make daily movements, from a blink to a leap, possible. An ISU professor is studying the effects of dietary supplements and exercise on keeping these muscles working better for longer. He started early. When he was still in school, Rick Sharp, professor of kinesiology, remembers having a conversation with his grandmother about his interest in muscle function. “She said, ‘I don’t know what it is you’re going to do, Rick, but as long as you can help me figure out how to open a mayonnaise jar when I’m in my 80s, I’ll be happy,’” Sharp said. Sharp is studying the combined effects of exercise, vitamin D and a natural bodybuilding compound called b-hydroxy-bmethylbutyrate, or HMB, on fighting muscle loss in older adults. This aging-associated muscle loss is called sarcopenia, and Sharp said the condition poses significant problems with physical ability and quality of life for many older Americans. John Rathmacher, assistant professor of animal science, said that previous studies have shown a peak muscle mass in average adults between 40 and 50 years old. After that, he said, muscle tissue breaks down faster than the body synthesizes proteins for new muscle, and the result is a loss in muscle mass and strength. “It’s tougher for older adults to put that muscle mass back on, especially if they suf-

Rick Sharp, professor of kinesiology, is studying the combined effects of exercise, vitamin D and a natural body-building compound on fighting muscle loss in older adults.

fer from chronic diseases, injuries or pain,” Rathmacher said. “If a person who has already lost muscle falls and breaks a hip, it becomes even harder for them to do the exercises to prevent further loss.” Sharp and Rathmacher said studies have shown positive effects on bone density and muscle mass from exercise or supplements of HMB alone, but this study is the first to add vitamin D. Matthew Rowling, associate professor of food science and human nutrition, has studied established functions of vitamin D extensively. Vitamin D is naturally synthesized by our bodies with exposure to sunlight and it has long been known to regulate the amount of calcium in blood and bones. “Most people get vitamin D from the sun or dietary supplements because it’s not really prevalent in food,” Rowling said.

“There are receptors for it all over our muscles, but we’re still learning a lot about vitamin D and how it relates to other things.” Sharp said research is showing new uses for vitamin D in nearly every body system. “We’re learning more all the time,” Sharp said. “In the old days we just thought it was useful for bone health. Now we’re seeing all types of potential applications.” In his research, Sharp records information on all his study participants’ activity levels, medications, diets, past injuries and responses to experimental HMB/vitamin D supplements and controlled fitness regimens. Sharp said variations in the participants’ lifestyles may also affect his data, but he hopes to record this additional information in a way that inspires further research.

“Nothing’s ever lock solid proof of anything else,” Sharp said. “We’ll probably never get to a point where we can have a 100 percent watertight recommendation for anybody … but you do these studies, try to control the things you can and measure some of the things that you can’t so that you can use them as explanatory factors.” Sharp said there’s already enough evidence to know it’s a good idea to exercise and eat a balanced diet throughout life, but he hopes this study will lead to more concrete recommendations. “When your research can end up being available to the public, and provide them with something that’s potentially effective and helping them to live their lives, then that’s a gratifying thing,” Sharp said. “It’s one thing to live to be 90. It’s another thing to live well and be 90, and that’s what we all want to do, isn’t it?” Even professional athletes can suffer from sarcopenia as they age. Dancer and choreographer Valerie Williams has nearly 50 years of anecdotal experience and has watched many of her colleagues stop dancing long before she did. Now at the age of 60, Williams stopped dancing full time two years ago. She said she has noticed some changes in her body despite leading a local dance troupe, teaching at Iowa State and dancing on a regular basis. “I’m carrying 20 pounds more than when I was dancing full time, and that I can feel,” Williams said. “Getting off the floor while carrying 20 more pounds than I’m used to is work.” Still, the slender, red-haired woman said people frequently underestimate her age by 20 years, and she said she plans to keep dancing as long as possible. “If you move like you’re 20 when you’re 20 and keep doing that, you’ll always move like you’re 20,” Williams said with a smile. “But you can’t start moving like you’re 20 when you’re 50.”

An agenda and sticky notes are a couple of items that can help students stay organized this semester.

Organize your semester By Brittany.Moon @iowastatedaily.com Beginning a fresh semester can seem daunting. This is especially apparent in new students, and those who haven’t set a rhythm of organization and time management. There are, however, a few tricks that can help any student, whether a freshman or returning student, stay on track for a successful semester. First, buy a well laid out planner. This is a crucial step in organization. It can be the difference between a stellar semester of straight A’s and getting poor grades. Find a planner or agenda that works for you, whether it be small or big, bright or neutral. The next step in complete organization is to curate a spreadsheet of due dates and other commitments for the upcoming semester. This spreadsheet

can include due dates for quizzes, exams and meeting times. Ultimately, the spreadsheet will save a lot of stress and prevent late assignments. After completing the spreadsheet of assignments and due dates, filling in these dates in a planner will create another reminder. Sticky notes are another trick many students use from day to day to maintain an organized schedule. Having a brightly colored sticky note placed atop the day of a big presentation or exam can be an obvious reminder to prepare ahead. While sticky notes work wonders for reminding many of deadlines, another colored coded concept is using a different colored pen for different things happening in daily life. One color for each class or even one for school work, one for each club the student is involved in, and one for working a part-time job.

President Leath welcomes your suggestions for naming this newest structure on campus.

Knowing these colors and what life event they correlate to can be tremendously helpful. The final tip to keep organized this semester is to keep a clean desk and workspace. Whether work is done at a desk, drawing table, or coffee table, having a clean space can help keep distractions minimal. Having clutter and unnecessary items right in front of ones eyes can be distracting and produce unproductivity. One way to rectify this issue is to keep a few items lining ones desk, such as a paper stand, small cup of pens and pencils, a stack of sticky notes, and even a relaxing scented candle [if permitted]. Keeping these concepts in mind with the start of a new semester can help maintain a steady flow of organization with classes and clubs.

Distance, lack of time and intimidation are all reasons students have for skipping the gym. Luckily, skipping the gym does not have to mean skipping a good workout. At-home workouts have come a long way since their VHS predecessors, featuring instructors wearing spandex and sweatbands. Many fitness companies and trainers are using the Internet to reach a larger audience while staying personal. Online workouts tend to be shorter than full-gym visits, but still pack the same punch. Discovering a favor-

ATOMIC p4 fessor at Iowa State, to produce large amounts of the purified uranium. The work began at Iowa State in 1942, Svec said. Scientists at the university managed to discover a way to purify mass quantities of uranium at a very low cost, which greatly sped the progress of the project. Svec said scientists produced more than 2 million pounds of the purest uranium that had ever been produced in the world. “Time was of the essence,” Svec said. “Every second counted because they didn’t know what the Nazis were doing and they needed to beat them.” The researchers The head researcher on the scene at Iowa State was Wilhelm, who oversaw the day-to-day research. During the time of the project, Wilhelm was recruited as the associate director of the Metallurgical Laboratory to conduct research on uranium needed for the atomic bomb to be successful. Svec’s father, Harry, joined the project later in 1944. Harry Svec had been initially deferred from the draft in the early 1940s because he was teaching and doing critical research in rubber at the university. As the U.S. military was preparing for D-Day in 1944, Harry Svec was ordered to report for duty. He was never sent overseas, however, because he was ordered to report to Frank Spedding at Iowa State. From there, he began to

work on the project. Secrecy It wasn’t until Aug. 6, 1945, that Harley, Harry and hundreds of other people across the country were released from their shared secret about the Manhattan Project. But before that moment, it was of the gravest importance that no hint of their work reached the enemy overseas. Svec said men who knew about the project’s endgame were threatened to keep the secret, or else they would be sent to the front lines of the conflict. Svec’s father was among those under orders and could not even talk about his work with his wife, Edna. “My mother used to talk about people who would say, ‘Why isn’t Harry in the Army?’” Svec said. “He was a young, draft-age guy who wasn’t going anywhere. A lot of these young guys were considered unpatriotic.” The Wilhelm children were aware their father was working on something major, but Myrna said they knew better than to ask about it. Lorna said they just knew it was secret. “When I was in high school, everyone knew there was secret stuff going on out there,” she said. The end result The scientists at Iowa State finally saw the result of their nearly three-year labor in August 1945, the official end of World War II. Although the nuclear bomb was dropped 70 years ago in August, its effects are still felt today. The U.S. was launched

into a decades-long Cold War with Russia. Recently, President Obama signed a deal with Iran in order for the country to end its pursuit of nuclear weaponry. At the time, however, it’s unclear if the leadership of the U.S. government and its military knew their success would affect international politics nearly 100 years in the future. Lorna said her father told her he could foresee the future of atomic energy in agriculture, medicine, defense and in energy. “Unfortunately, it had to, by necessity, be introduced in a negative fash-

ion,” she said. At the time, as the whole epic of the war was unfolding, the only thing that was clear in the minds of the people of the world was the need for the end of the conflict. “The toll, the expense and the human cost of the war was so unbelievable,” Svec said. “People at that time, they were desperate for any way to make it end.” Max said there was nothing but joy at the time because the war was over. Even though the Germans surrendered before the bomb was ready, the culture of the Japanese

would not allow them to give up, Svec said. “They were going to fight to the last man,” she said. “In 1945, the U.S. military was poised to invade Japan. They were estimating that it would be over a million casualties in the process of invading Japan.” Myrna said so many of her friends’ older brothers were in the service who were killed. “When you see all of your friends’ brothers dying, you wanted the war to end,” Myrna said. “You’re glad that it’s over.” When considering the lives lost, it was slaughter

for both sides, Myrna said. “I think war is useless,” she said. Gretchen said it saved so many more lives than it took. “It saved a lot of Japanese [people’s] lives as well as our own,” she said. “The bomb was terrible, but war is terrible.” Lorna said her father’s work is a source of great pride for their family, and they hope to keep his memory and his accomplishments alive. “The future of atomic energy was wonderful for the world; it still is to this day,” Lorna said.
