Eric Adjetey Anang is a Ghanaian carpenter and coffin artist who will be with the College of Design until Friday to work with integrated studio arts students. Together they will be creating a coffin shaped like an ear of corn. Students are working on the coffin and the paint designs.

‘Going out in style’ Ghanaian artist brings expressive coffin art to College of Design By Sarah.Muller @iowastatedaily.com

itting around a shop in the basement of the College of Design, Eric Adjetey Anang and Chris Martin, associate professor of integrated studio arts, joke about which kind of coffin Anang will be buried in. While the subject might seem morbid to many, it is a daily topic for Anang as he is a Ghanaian fantasy coffin artist. Kicking off his visit, Anang gave his presentation, “Going Out in Style” at the Memorial Union where he spoke on the history and purpose of his art. Throughout the week, he will be working on constructing a coffin in the shape of an ear of corn, which will be auctioned off at an event for ISU Engineers Without Borders project. The project is creating a water retention system for a village in northern Ghana. Students can view Anang working on the coffin from 8 to 11 a.m. Wednesdays and Fridays and 9:30 to 11 a.m. Thursdays on the lower level patio behind the College of Design. “I feel [the culture] should be shared all over the world because this is so special,” Anang said. “This is a way to celebrate the deceased.” Starting in the early 1950s, Anang’s grandfather, Seth Kane Kwei, created a unique figurative palanquin — the platform that carries a coffin — after the death of a Ghanaian tribal chief. Not long after, Kwei’s grandmother — a woman who dreamed of one day flying in an airplane but never did — died. To mimic her curiosity, Kwei created a coffin modeled after an airplane. The coffins began representing the deceased’s profession or something her or she valued in life. Kwei’s creations became something at which to marvel, admirers said. Because of his grandfather’s talents, Anang’s interest in creating coffins started at a young age. While he was only 8 years old when Kwei

GSB Senators encourage early voting among students By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com ISU students — both those heavily involved in political processes and those who are unfamiliar with elections — will have a chance to register early. In an effort to engage students in voting processes, members of Government of the Student Body and the Ames League of Women Voters will be registering students 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. outside of Parks Library. Another event Tuesday will allow students to register early. “The lines on election day get kind of long because of same-day registration,” said Justin Bahr, director of governmental relations for GSB. “I guess a couple

of people had to wait a couple of hours last year to vote, which can kind of disincentive you to vote. That’s too bad if you don’t have time to vote ... [when] you can’t always do that in the rest of the world.” Bahr said the purpose of Wednesday’s event is to keep voting lines short in November and to encourage students to take part in the voting process. Bahr said the early registration event is a bipartisan effort, and brochures with backgrounds on candidates for the gubernatorial and senate races will be available. The brochures will not feature information on where each candidate stands on particular issues so as not to influ-

Students are being targeted to register early to vote in the elections in November. Because the voting lines can get long, it can discourage students from casting their votes. GSB Senators and the Ames League of Women Voters stress the importance of college votes.

The National Science Foundation awarded more than $2.38 million to Iowa State in a grant renewal to help combat cybersecurity attacks. The university plans to direct the funds toward educating its students in the Scholarship for Service graduate program, commonly called CyberCorps, said Jan Wiersema, senior lecturer of natural resource ecology and management and co-principal investigator for the grant. As a leadership development and interdisciplinary graduate program, CyberCorps couples a leadership curriculum with cybersecurity courses to focus on addressing the shortage of cybersecurity professionals in the government. Wiersema works with Barbara Licklider, university professor of education and another co-principal investigator on the grant, on the two-year interdisciplinary graduate program that began back in 2000. She expressed the need for students to challenge themselves and their peers in the CyberCorps program to be leaders here at Iowa State and later in their careers in governmental cybersecurity. “Students in the CyberCorps program challenge and encourage each other to step outside their comfort zones,” Wiersema said. In offering these unique leadership skills to students, the program not only gives ISU CyberCorps alumni a distinct advantage in the job market but also allows them to best serve and help the public. A second-year graduate student in the program, Christopher Farrington expressed how the leadership component of the program opened up opportunities for him in the cybersecurity field. “This program put me out of my comfort zone and has made me a better leader and productive member of the field,” Farrington said. Iowa State has been offering courses in cybersecurity since 1995 and the rise of the Internet as we know it and now has one of the largest programs in the country. The program sees its students graduate to work with governmental agencies at the local, state and federal levels. Also a second-year graduate student, Eric Rodine had the opportunity to intern with the FBI this past summer. He said that his internship got his foot in the door in the government and prepared him for the work to come when he graduates in the spring. Iowa State was actually the first university to offer such a program that provided students with the leadership skills when it began and has since led the initiative for cybersecurity and online safety. Doug Jacobson, university professor of electrical and computer engineering and co-principal investigator of the grant, further emphasized the need for these students to lead the field. He also said that everybody needs to be educated on online safety — professionals, students and the public alike — which is the ultimate goal of the program. “Individuals need to take ownership and be literate [about cybersecurity],” Jacobson said.

‘Ready for Hillary’ super PAC bus comes to ISU By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com The “Ready for Hillary” political action committee’s nationwide movement to support Hillary Clinton to run for president, stopped in Ames on Tuesday. Members from the group are touring the country in a charter bus to visit college and university campuses in key political states

such as Iowa, said Seth Bringman, communications director for the group. The goal is to inform students of the “Ready for Hillary” movement and give them a chance to sign up for the group. Students who sign up receive a free poster and button, Bringman said. The group has visited six colleges and universities in Iowa. Pierce Fieldsend, sophomore in political

science, is a member of the Ames group. He got involved last semester as a way to support Hillary Clinton and gain experience for future jobs or internships, he said. The bus was set up from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday on the west side of the Memorial Union. It was going to Drake University after its stop in Ames. Hillary Clinton visited Iowa for the Harkin Steak Fry on Sunday.

Students ‘Go Commando’ for cash App creates ways to earn money quickly By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com College students know the struggle too well: Between classes, extra curricular activities and the constant need for job experience and money, students are fighting to make ends meet. One app just may have the solution to that. By using this app, students can get paid by “going commando.” The Go Commando app was created by Campus Commandos, which has been in business since 2010 and have been working for more than a year on their newest product. “We’re realizing that more and more students are engaging with everything through their mobile device,” said Adam Grant, CEO and founder of Campus Commandos, “You can get a text message a lot faster than an email. Through research and development, we’ve seen that shift, so now we’re putting it on a mobile app.” However, the term “going commando” is different for students using this app. No one is actually underwear-free. “Go Commando allows for companies to immediately connect with college students for simple oncampus marketing tasks,” Grant said. “Our job is not only to help the brand, but

also make sure students are getting a benefit out of it as well.” College Commandos works with brands to connect its products to college students. This latest creation of the company does just that. How it works is simple. A student using the app is sent a task to complete. The tasks can be hanging up flyers in the Memorial Union, writing a blog post or scheduling meetings with student organizations. Students can chose to accept or reject a task at any point so it does not interfere with classwork. “We call our students ‘commandos.’ It just kind of stuck together that you ‘Go Commando,’” said Mickey Catz, director of operations at Campus Commandos. “After we said it out loud, we laughed a little bit, but we realized it has a couple of meanings. Because it peaks interest, it works perfect for us.” Companies, such as Hewlett Packard, DSW Inc. and L’Oreal have already signed on with Campus Commandos. Grant expects more companies to join after the app is launched. “It’s really up to the brand on what tasks they want to post,” Grant said. “We just let them know they have to be short and simple, similar to a Twitter post.” For each task that he or she complete, a student must document the task by snapping a picture or taking a video and sending it to the company. Once the company accepts the task as complete, the student is paid by direct deposit into

his or her bank account. Grant says that the company encourages a minimum of $10 an hour, “Which help with the unfortunate issue of student debt.” Not only do students get paid, but they also gain job experience for resumes. “A feature that I really like is one where we ask the brand ‘Would you work with this student again?’” Grant said. “And if they say yes, that student is issued a brand badge. So you go around with this specific brand badge on your profile, which is something that interviewers would be interested in.” Grant and his team came up with the idea through plenty of research and some personal experience as well. “When you’re in college, you’re independent for the first time,” Grant said. “In college, you’re identifying your brand preferences and buying habits. College is the time when brands need to reach out for students.” David Erickson, junior in chemical engineering, is uncertain about Go Commando. “I feel like this app sounds like you can’t spend a day working,” Erickson said. “I feel like it would be one hour of work a day or a week, so it’s not very much money. It’s committing random hours of work for no money.” Rey Junco, associate professor in the School of Education and social media expert, is also uncertain that this app is a good investment for students. To him, it seems more like a

marketing ploy. “Its cheap labor, and on a campus where they may not have that in yet,” Junco said. “I imagine it’s for companies that doesn’t have a presence on college campuses.” Junco is unsure whether or not students will be attracted to the app. “I don’t know how students will react,” Junco said. “Personally, I wouldn’t want [companies] in my space that way.” Junco agrees that with higher education costing more each year, students may look for alternative ways to pay for college. “For $10, that’s a steal. I suspect it’ll be popular because they may not be aware of the value of what they’re doing,” Junco said. “It impedes on the freedoms of students.” Junco said that there is a large market out there for apps that connect people and offer compensation but don’t have the product advertising aspect. One app he listed was Task Rabbit, which connects local people to help complete tasks like cleaning, repairs and other forms of assistance around the home. Junco also listed several other apps that have become popular in the United States that connect people for services. These apps include car services, such as Uber, or people looking to rent out a spare bedroom, such as Couchsurfing. With such a broad expanse for choices, Junco believes that Go Commando is nothing new. “It doesn’t really seem like something people will really go wild for.”

ISU students developed an app that allows other students to be rewarded for working with participating companies. There is controversy regarding students’ ability to get enough compensation.

For those students and professors who are hesitant jumping on board, Grant said that anything that makes a person stand out could be beneficial. “It’s tough enough to stand out in college with just getting good grades,” Grant said. “So what we do

is add every thing else.” By signing up at gocommandoapp.com, students can be notified via email when Go Commando is officially launched. The app can be downloaded at the end of September through both Apple and Android stores.

CHAMBERLIN LECTURE

Register publisher talks future of newspapers, quality journalism By Oscar.Alvarez @iowastatedaily.com Rick Green, publisher of the Des Moines Register, emphasized Iowa’s dependence on news and the need for quality news in his speech for the Chamberlin Lecture on Tuesday in the Memorial Union. The motto of the Des Moines Register — “We deliver the news Iowa depends upon” — was one of the many points Green drove home as he spoke to a room full of both experienced and aspiring journalists. Green spoke about the future of journalism, what others outside of journalism think newspapers’ future is and what he believes will be the bright future of journalism. “It’s easy to use the word ‘victims’ whenever you start talking a little bit about where journalism is,

newspapers in particular,” Green said. Even with the reality of the moment in mind, Green said he still fights for his belief that journalism has a bright future by stating five important trends that are seen in news organizations. Green’s first reason was that journalists are not reluctant to embrace change. “Publishers have had to make changes in their game. New roles were needed, and now we’re talking in a different language in our advertising and our marketing staffs.” Next, Green said embracing the ability to tell stories in new ways via social media and other online platforms is another important step. “I can tell you that video is just this new, powerful storytelling media and we’ve got to deliver it,” Green said.

The third trend was creating new partnerships and relationships, sometimes with competitors. He mentioned the Des Moines Register will partner with KCCI broadcast station and bring together Bruce Braley and Joni Ernst, both U.S Senate candidates, to debate. Reason four was that there is a newfound passion for innovation. Green feels confident in the fourth step because the Des Moines Register is doing a five-day series next week focusing on a farm family in Iowa dealing with aging and climate change. The fifth and final trend that makes Green believe papers will not only survive but also thrive was that newspapers remain relevant to people’s lives. “Relevance is the part of what it is that we do,” Green said. “In a time when news consumption

progress we’re always making with technology.” To finish his speech, Green told a story about how when he was driving home listening to NPR and he tuned in to an interview with David Greenway. In his interview, Greenway was talking about the newspaper industry, “the glory days” and what journalism used to be. Green admitted that Greenway’s points were depressing him because he has to tell everybody that the future of journalism is indeed bright but also has to reflect that it simply is

not what it used to be. Green’s mood changed when the host of the NPR broadcast told the audience that the conversation can continue to be followed online, via Facebook and other types of social media. “The conversation is going to continue, but just in a different platform,” Green said. “There is still a place, and there will be a longstanding place for the print edition.” “I refuse to believe and lament the demise of this great industry,” Green said, despite the mentioned changes in the industry.

Many of the questions revolved around the importance of ethics in the newsroom. Green said ethics is non-negotiable and must always be in the newsroom.

I was disappointed to hear that $2 billion is spent every year on excessive alcohol consumption in Iowa. I would wager that much of that amount comes from the college nightlife as America’s youth indulges in the pleasures of adulthood. I am not so much unsettled by the staggering amount of coin shoveled out as a toll for a good time — the principle of the matter is really frivolous anyway. Just as well, alcohol consumption is a perfectly fine activity. Drinking lightens the mood, enhances the conversation and unites people under a common banner. It is also true that many great writers and thinkers, such as Kingsley Amis, could punch out brilliant pieces of work while holding in an amount of liquor that would destroy weaker stomachs. What is unsettling is the point at which alcohol becomes the master rather than the servant. When the

booze governs our critical faculties and becomes the sole determinant of our enjoyment, we have lost a friend and gained an enemy. Unfortunately, this very condition has infected, or rather assumed, the identity of the college scene. Personally, I don’t drink because I can’t drink. Various medical conditions present an impasse to my social obligations. Thus, I have the dubious privilege of being the permanent designated driver. Perhaps I am biased, then, when I report my observations of the drunk. Having made this confession, I think it is high time we change the drinking culture here at Iowa State. I am now in my fifth year of college, and I’ve become increasingly frustrated and more annoyed by the obsession with drinking in these past few years. Don’t get me wrong, drinking is fine, but binge drinking — which is much more frequent among college students — is not. I am reminded of an old joke my friends and I have for those who graduate and still binge drink: “You’re not a student anymore, so you’re an alcoholic.” That very statement exemplifies the attitude of students toward drinking: Drinking an

excessive amount of alcohol is acceptable because we are students. Therefore, we have an immunity to criticism. Under no circumstance is drinking to the point of blacking out acceptable. Drinking oneself into a state of belligerence is irresponsible, stupid and immature. Most of all, binge drinking presents horrible prospects for one’s health. I can remember various instances when I was truly worried that I would lose a friend from overconsumption. I don’t wish to impose my lifestyle on anybody and I certainly don’t mean to be a sycophant for the elitist, high society types. Everyone is free to make his or her own choices — of course, you don’t require my permission for that. Answers as to whether those choices are right or wrong are often subjective, anyway. However, there must be a certain level of decency to which we students can hold true. It wouldn’t be an imposition to hold each other to this standard, either. There are acceptable limits to alcohol consumption, but if our friends and colleagues fail to abide by that social contract it is our right — our duty — to express intolerance. Maybe then we can restore our credibility as

responsible young adults. Many students are afraid to swim against the current and refuse invitations to “get hammered.” For those who feel they may cave to peer pressure, I can find no better anecdote than that of Dumbledore’s speech at the end of the first Harry Potter book: “It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but just as much to stand up to your friends.” Much more respect must be given to these abstaining students. Part of the art of responsible drinking is not only making sure those drinking are safe and have a good time but also those who are not drinking. We don’t have to shun people for going to the coffee shop on a Saturday night rather than going to the bars. How can we reduce binge drinking? We can encourage our fellow drinkers to be responsible. But that only goes so far, and nobody wants to look like a parental figure. There’s nothing wrong with being stern, though. I urge you readers to call out your friends and family when they overindulge. Let them know that their actions are unacceptable. You’ll be doing them and the rest of us Cyclones a favor when you do.

Get professionals’ help with anxiety By Stephen.Koenigsfeld @iowastatedaily.com

week after the riot during Veishea, I entered the Iowa State Daily newsroom like I had every day for the past three years. I came in, sat down at my desk and plugged in a USB flash drive into the back of my computer. Then it felt like something snapped in my chest and my heart was going 160 beats per minute. I was overwhelmed with a feeling of doom. What the hell was happening to me? I immediately called for the editor to drive me to the hospital, thinking I was having a heart attack. Chest pains, sweaty hands, hyperventilation and dizziness all followed. As I made my way into the emergency room, my heart rate had slowed, my sweaty palms began to cool and I was starting to be able to breathe again. Little did I know I just experienced my first panic attack and was on the road for a troubling bout with general anxiety disorder.

ISU football player Jacob Gannon recently came out with his story of his panic attack, which caused him to question his love of football and to leave team for a short time. On Monday, it was announced that Gannon was back with the football team and had said he made a mistake by leaving in the first place. Gannon told members of the media in a news conference Monday that “after going to counseling, [he] realized football wasn’t the problem. The problem was this anxiety.” I, too, had the same feeling toward the Daily. Was my job as a managing editor and dealing with all of the breaking news we had causing me to be mentally unstable? The answer was no. While the requirement to perform on the football field or in the newsroom may add some stress, that wasn’t the sole reason for why we had our panic attacks. I’m often asked “what does a panic attack feel like.” For me, it’s been a little different every time. But as I read the description given by Dr. Marc Shulman, physician for the ISU athletic department and one of the primary doctors for Gannon, I felt goosebumps on my arms because I was able to finally grasp the words. It is a perfect description of what is going on in a person’s mind

when they’re having an attack: “Picture yourself in a room with no air and a window at the far end and you will do anything you can to break through that window to get to the air. You kind of shut everything else out.” Unlike Gannon, I refused for nearly 6 months to get help, telling myself I was fine and that it was a one-time occurrence. Since that panic attack in April, I’ve had seven more anxiety attacks, a few about which I told my friends and family, and others which weren’t too severe and I never bothered mentioning. It wasn’t until an episode Friday when I began to question how stable I really was and realized what I was doing to myself wasn’t right. It was that moment when I realized there are hundreds — if not thousands — out there who are trying to bottle up the stress like I was and not getting the help they need and deserve. The ripple effect of that Friday panic attack was unforeseeable. I missed the Daily’s weekly staff meeting — affecting my ability to do my job as the editor-in-chief — missed class and snapped at a few of my closest friends over a little dispute at the end of the day. I’m normally a guy who wears his emotions on his arm, but I knew something was really wrong after Friday.

Sometimes it’s not even an issue of pride. I simply thought I was doing a fine job of managing the stress of working 60-hour weeks, going to class and trying to balance a social life somewhere in between. But I’ve now become more aware of just how brutal anxiety disorders can be. Jacob Gannon is an ISU football player and he has anxiety. He’s getting help for it and is feeling better than he has in a while on the football field. I have anxiety and I’m getting help for it so I can start feeling better and helping those around me in my everyday life. To the hundreds and thousands out there who are diagnosed or undiagnosed with any type of anxiety, you can do it, too. It may sound cliche, but it’s true. Don’t wait for the one panic attack to push you over the edge. I won’t sit here and tell you everything is going to be 100 percent normal and you’ll never have another panic attack in your life. I won’t say your anxiety will be cured in just one day or week. But there are professionals out there who are available to help you cope with your anxiety in the future. If sharing your stories of panic attacks or general anxiety helps you cope, feel free to share them on our Facebook page under this column.

The worst Ebola outbreak since the disease was identified in 1976 is spreading like wildfire through West Africa. This outbreak is responsible for the deaths of 2,500 people and has potential to move to other continents if it continues to spread. That is why President Barack Obama has decided to send 3,000 troops, including medical personnel and engineers, to West Africa. The troops will be leading training for health workers as well as helping build health clinics in order to control the deadly virus. The most severely affected African nation has been Liberia, where many of the troops are going to be sent. The Ebola virus is a disease that was originally transferred from animals to humans. The original host animal was the fruit bat. Now that humans have contracted the virus, it can easily spread from human to human. The virus shows itself at first with nausea and headache and then progresses to bleeding from the eyes and other orifices of the body as death approaches. Nearly 90 percent of people who contract the Ebola virus will die from it. Many people are too poor to afford proper health care in the region of Africa that has been affected by the Ebola virus. Not only is there no way for patients to afford health care, there is not enough funding for the areas to afford medical facilities. Therefore, the lack of medical care is keeping people in the African villages sick for longer periods of time and causing more people to die from sickness. If the virus continues to burn through these villages like wildfire without people being cured, it is very possible that entire small villages in West Africa could be wiped out. This epidemic can even be spread from one village to the next by people who have contracted the virus without their knowledge and try to flee from the infected areas. Without proper care, most of the infected people will die. It is very important that as many people as possible in West Africa are cured so that the virus can be contained. Sending Americans over to places where the virus is so prevalent is certainly a dangerous proposition, and every conceivable measure of caution should be taken, but this is a mission that needs to be undertaken. That being said, our troops need to be safe. It is wonderful that the president is concerned with the deadly outbreak in Africa — humanitarian efforts such as this one are vital to global relationships. However, if the health of the troops is not prioritized and maintained, there is a risk that the disease could potentially come back to the United States. There needs to be a direct plan in order to outline what will happen if an American falls ill with Ebola and what will happen if that person returns to the United States. Such a plan is necessary because this time the numbers of returning infected individuals could be much higher than just a few medical workers. Obama’s response to this concern is that the troops will be helping train healthcare providers and build the clinics but will not be working directly with anyone who has the disease. So hopefully the plan to return infected Americans will only be used as a failsafe. Borders and nationalities aside, the people of these villages need help. The United States is fulfilling the ethical duty of all human beings to assist one another when they are in need. Perhaps someday, when the United States needs similar assistance, another country will be there for it because of actions like this one.

Volleyball revels in relaxation, recovery By Harrison.March @iowastatedaily.com

Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily

Sophomore forward Koree Willer runs the ball down the field during the Cy-Hawk Series game against Iowa on Sept. 5. The Cyclones defeated the Hawkeyes 2-1. Willer has had seven goals so far this season.

Koree Willer’s success leads to team confidence By Trey.Alessio @iowastatedaily.com ISU soccer coach Tony Minatta said a key takeaway from the past weekend was playing well when setting goals. Iowa State beat Northern Colorado 3-0 on Friday and lost to Denver 2-1 on Sunday. “It was a good weekend,” Minatta said. “We started off really strong in the UNC game ... [Denver], we started off not very good. We probably should’ve been down, but we came back. In the second half, we were really good.” Iowa State is a young soccer team, and with that, a lot of the Cyclones’ success has spawned from sophomore Koree Willer. She has seven goals so far this season, including a goal in each of the last three games. “Koree is scoring in a lot of different ways, and she is really strong right now getting the ball to her feet,” Minatta said. “To say that she’s our go-to forward. I mean, she has scored seven goals and teams are double- [and] triple-teaming her. They know who she is, but she’s really good at holding the ball up and still involving the rest of her teammates.” Willer may be the leader in goals for Iowa State, but she attributes a lot of her personal success to her teammates. “Huge credit would have to go to my team — the balls they give me

and the support I have, I think that’s huge,” Willer said. “A lot of the goals I’m scoring I wouldn’t score without a lot of things that they’re doing.” Minatta said Willer is starting to feel confident and the team is feeding off of that confidence. She is only a sophomore but leads by example on the field. Willer said she’s not necessarily the most vocal leader, but she does what’s expected of her day in and day out. “When you’re scoring seven goals, you can demand from your teammates that they rise up,” Minatta said. “The fact that she impacts what everybody else does through her play definitely shows leadership.” In order for the team to rise up, it must follow “the process” that Minatta has been preaching the whole season. He said the players need to avoid the mental lapses and the inconsistencies in order to have more success moving into conference play. “The first 25-30 minutes of the UNC game — that was some of the best soccer we’ve played,” Minatta said. “The second 30-35 minutes of the Denver game in the second half—that was some of the best soccer we’ve played. We want to meet that level.” The Cyclones will try to find that level when they play the Drake Bulldogs at 7 p.m. Friday at the Cyclone Sports Complex.

After falling to the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Saturday, the ISU volleyball team can take a nice, deep breath. First it was the prestigious AVCA Showcase on Aug. 29 and Aug. 31, in which Iowa State lost two matches in three days. The following weekend, the Cyclones swept three teams in three days to go undefeated in the Iowa State Challenge. This past weekend, Iowa State traveled north to Minneapolis to play in the Diet Coke Classic. The team played three matches in two days, dropping only the final match of the event to host Minnesota. The Cyclones were just 16 days into the season and had played eight matches across three different events — a grind the starters certainly felt. “You have to make sure you’re getting sleep, getting water, staying healthy and just being mentally prepared all the time,” said middle blocker Alexis Conaway. “I approach every game the same, but going into those I know it’s going to be physically demanding so you just always have to

be ready.” Iowa State has participated in at least two of these early-season poolplay invitationals each of the last five years. Somewhat to head coach Christy JohnsonLynch’s enjoyment, that part of the season is over. “It’s kind of nice, though you tend to obsess about the team and everything they do,” JohnsonLynch said of having a week to prepare for the team’s next match. “We were starting to break down a bit. It’s nice for recovery purposes and just mentally to have a little bit of a break before we go again.” Moving forward, Iowa State will start to have two or three days off between every match. Senior setter and defensive specialist Taylor Goetz said having that extra time during preparation feels almost like a luxury. “We’re really embracing that time and taking care of our bodies,” Goetz said. “It helps us with focusing on some things that we need to work on and improve on in practice.” Just as the players are beginning to really hit their stride as a single unit on the court, JohnsonLynch said that this is

historically the time her coaching staff sees a spike in production from the team. “Coaches tend to see jumps in performance once [the players] have had a little break because we’ve been going hard now for six weeks,” Johnson-Lynch said. Time to relax, recover, watch film and prepare – it’s a head coach’s perfect recipe for success.

So with a Saturday matchup against the rival Iowa Hawkeyes looming, perhaps the end of weekend invitationals is coming at the perfect time. “We can just focus now on getting back to the basics, getting lots of reps in and take care of ourselves,” Conaway said. “If we do that, by the time we get to [the match against] Iowa, we’re at full strength.”

Sophomore setter Suzanne Horner jumps up to set the ball across the court to her teammate during a set against Northern Illinois in the Iowa State Challenge on Sept. 6. Iowa State won in three straight sets.

Top Competition

No. 1 Stanford def. Iowa State 3-0 (25-16, 25-18, 25-19) No. 6 Florida State def. Iowa State 3-0 (25-21, 25-16, 25-11) No. 17 Minnesota def. Iowa State 3-1 (25-16, 25-20, 20-25, 25-23) *Stanford was No. 3, Florida State was No. 6 and Minnesota was No. 19 when each team defeated Iowa State.

Before the 2014 season began, junior hitter Mackenzie Bigbee stated the team’s goals were a Big 12 Championship and a deep run in the NCAA tournament. The ISU volleyball team (5-3, 0-0 Big 12) is off to a winning start, but if the Cyclones want to achieve their goals they must become more adept at toppling premiere competition. “We have started to develop more of a team identity,” said sophomore setter Suzanne Horner. “Even though we [have struggled] against some good teams, it is exciting to play in those competitive atmospheres.” Iowa State’s three losses in 2014 have all come at the hands of ranked opponents. The Cyclones opened the season by falling in the AVCA Showcase to Stanford and Florida State, which were both ranked in the top 13 at the time and are currently occupying the No. 1 and No. 6 slots respectively. The most recent loss came Saturday at the hands of Minnesota, which jumped up from No. 19 to No. 17 in this week’s rankings. The Golden Gophers doused a hot ISU team, ending an impressive two-week run by Iowa State in which it reeled off five victories in a row and posted a set record of 15-1. While the end result was not what the Cyclones were hoping for, the match against Minnesota did reveal evidence of progress. “I think we are getting better,” said ISU volleyball coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “Just about every area of our game looked better this weekend than [previous-

ly] and that is all you can ask for.” The Cyclones had only six blocks in the two matches against Stanford and Florida State in their first tournament but upped that tally to 10 blocks in Minneapolis. The Cyclones’ average hitting percentage against Stanford and Florida State was an abysmal .086. Iowa State hit at a clip of .226 against Minnesota. Perhaps most importantly, the Cyclones were not only competitive against the country’s then-No. 19 team, they actually took a set and almost took two. After falling down 0-2, the Cyclones rallied to win set number three against the Golden Gophers 25-20. The fourth and final set was decided by the thinnest of margins, 25-23. The outcome was much closer than it was for Iowa State’s first two opportunities to knock off a ranked opponent, which saw the Cyclones get swept in six consecutive sets and amass 20plus points in a set only once. The improved ISU effort came at the tail end of the the team’s first road trip of the season and was the third match it had played in a span of roughly 27 hours. “I’m really excited about what we are going to be,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We do have some young players out there who I think more than anyone are going to have the potential to make huge jumps over the next month or two.” The Big 12 should provide numerous chances for Iowa State to prove itself against the nation’s top competition. The next barometer for the Cyclones will come Oct. 1 when they square off on the road against No. 2 Texas.

fitness myths and tips

Use healthy practices to get, stay fit

By Rachel.Geronmino @iowastatedaily.com Social media has thrown at us a multitude of “get fit quick” myths and products that will never actually benefit the general public as promised. Weight loss pills “Weight loss pills are dietary supplements. Dietary supplements are meant to support your diet, not to be depended on,” said Brandon Ly, men’s physique competitor and representative for Asian Fitness and Motivation said. Ly pointed out that the natural way is a better route to go when trying to reach personal weight goals. “Truthfully, people who rely on weight loss pills end up forgetting about their diet and when you forget about your diet, there’s nothing for your dietary supplement to support,” Ly said. “As long as you eat right, you eat clean, you eat smart, your body will respond better than without it.” Starving is not an option It is important to track if you are consuming all the essential nutrients your body requires to function properly. Ly explained that the body is constantly growing and it feeds on proper nutrition to grow physically and mentally. “People try to take away food, thinking that it will brush their calorie intake and because of that, your body will not get enough nutrition,” Ly said. “As long as you know what to eat, you don’t need to worry about your calorie efficiency.” Ly said that starvation will lead to a lack of muscle growth and bone structure — it will cause more damage to the body than progression. “When your body starts to starve, its basically saying that it needs to burn off energy. This is where nutrition comes to play,” Ly said. “Without it, your body is storing more fat to always find energy to feed off of.” Switching it up Running can be misunderstood as the only effective cardio technique to burn calories. Though running is an effective choice, it is also important to mix up your workout routines frequently to avoid a plateau. It is also important to know that there are other forms of cardio besides steady-state running. “We go off the client’s goals, every person that I meet with, they have a set goal to reach,” said Joseph Reeve, junior in supply chain management and ISU personal trainer. “If someone is trying to loose weight, we’re not just going to have them run the whole time. They’re going to use muscle that they didn’t even know that they had.” Incorporating weightlifting is also an effective technique to adopt. “In order to perform your best talent, you have to be able perform physi-

People tend to forget what a diet is. Professionals stress that a diet should be an organized eating plan that involves nutrients that the body needs. Instead, some of the general public believe that diet pills or waist clinchers can get rid of the extra weight without healthy eating or working out.

cally at your best as well, and weightlifting is a wonderful activity,” Ly said. Good eating Should you eat a doughnut after a hard workout? Probably not. Eating unhealthy foods after a workout is actually not the best solution to regain energy. “You body requires glycogen because after you workout, you’re depleting your body of nutrients that you burn off.” Ly explained how the body requires healthy nutrition to depend on when replenishing after working out. “Junk foods have little nutrients but a lot of glycogen which will replenish,” Ly said. “But due to that, you have to understand that you’re putting into your body things like unnecessary fats that will lead to no benefit after a workout.” Instead, try enjoying a protein shake immediately after lifting for recovery and eating protein dense main courses sided with vegetables and fruit to incorporate those essential nutrients. Fats make you fat Not all fats will make you gain weight. There is a difference between “good” fats — polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats — and fats that you should try to either avoid or limit —saturated and trans fats. Good fats can actually help you burn body fat. So, eat moderate amounts of healthy fats from foods like salmon, olive oil, nuts and seeds and limit intake of saturated

and animal fats. Carbs are bad There is a difference between complex carbohydrates and simple carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are foods such as white rice, sugar and white bread that raise insulin levels and give temporary energy as opposed to complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes, whole grains, and vegetables give long-lasting energy. Although carbs are a great source of energy, neither type are an ideal late night snack because carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy. Because the body will not use all of that energy — fat is stored energy and calories are measurements of energy — it will automatically store the carbohydrates as fat. Waist clinchers Waist clinchers are great to wear under clothing but claiming that it will actually shape your body is untrue. Waist clinchers are supplied to modify the body shape, not to actually remove unwanted fat. The only way to truly burn fat is to eat right and work out. “Lose 10 pounds in 10 days” Companies will do anything to make a profit, even if their products have little to no benefit for its consumer. Skip the program and find healthier ways to create a personal diet that will benefit your body for life. Programs that tend to “work” are only short-term fixes. “Typically, you can use some pro-

grams as a jump-starter, but once you start eating regular foods again and heading back to your regular diet, you will probably put the weight right back on,” said Tyanez Jones, lecturer of kinesiology. “In the long run, you just have to change your eating habits and keep that consistent.” For a person to consistently keep weight off, one must commit to practicing a healthy lifestyle rather than participating in short-term dieting programs. The body is an art Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither can are bodies be. Building an “ideal” body will take time and patience. “We like to set short term goals that are realistic,” Reeves said. “Just constant refers to ‘Look at where you were a month ago, and look at where you are now. With time, everything will come.’” Ly also believes that both time and patience are everything. “You’re body is an art — everything in life is an art. But for art, everything takes time. Just like how practice makes perfect,” Ly said. “You can’t build a beautiful sculpture in one day. This is your body, this is your life. If you expect results in a day, then basically it’s like expecting the worst. You’re never going to get the best of what you want.” Keeping an awareness of these fitness ideals can help create a healthier lifestyle. Stick with goals that are realistic and remember that confidence and motivation is key to consistency.

Exercise outside to take advantage of fall weather By Hannah Marsh, contributor of the Daily Before the sidewalks become layered in ice and CyRide lines become longer, make sure to get outside and enjoy the warm weather while it lasts. One way this can be done is with a quick outdoor workout to soak up that vitamin D. “I like the fresh air, so it helps me think less about the actual workout and gets me to push myself more,” said Steven Carlson, junior in kinesiology and member of ISU Weight Club. Here are a few ideas to get a great workout without having to go any farther than your neighborhood park: 1. Bench jumps Start by squaring up your shoulders to the bench and slightly bending your knees. With both legs, jump up onto the bench and try to land in the same position from which you started. Jump back down to the starting position. That’s one rep. Try to do three sets of 10 jumps to get started.

Put your right foot onto the bench. As you come to the top, drive your left knee into your chest before stepping back down. Do 10 reps on each leg for three rounds.

There are many outdoor workouts one can do simply using a bench on campus or at a local park. Before the weather turns too cold, take advantage of getting some sun while working out, but be careful of injuries.

2. Incline push-ups Place your hands shoulder-width apart on the edge of the bench, and put your feet back into a plank position. As you do a push-up, make sure to keep your back and neck in line with each other to prevent any strain on your neck. Try for four sets of eight. 3. Bulgarian split squats Start by facing away from the bench. Move your left foot back and lift it up onto the

bench with your right foot still underneath you. Slowly bend your right leg into a 90-degree angle. “Avoid bringing your knee over your toe and turning your hips,” said Kensie Noble, senior in kinesiology and president of Alliance for Health and Fitness Professionals Club. Come back up to your starting position. That’s one rep. Try to finish two sets of 10 on each leg. 4. Step-ups Face the bench with your feet shoulder-width apart.

5. Side Step-ups Stand parallel to the bench Using your inside leg, step up onto the bench and drive the opposite knee upward. Do 10 step-ups on each leg for three rounds. 6. Tricep Dips Sit on the bench and position your hands shoulder-width apart on the edge of the seat. With your legs extended out in front of you, scoot your butt off the seat so that your hands are the only thing touching the bench. While keeping your back straight and close to the bench, use your arms to slowly lower yourself until your elbows are around a 90-degree angle. Press down into the bench to raise yourself back to the starting position. That’s one rep. Try to complete two sets of 15.

With all of these exercises, make sure that you are using good form to prevent injuries. Put some

headphones in or grab a friend, and go enjoy these last few weeks of the summer sun.

died, he recalledays spent in his grandfather’s carpentry shop. “All I remember is sometimes, when they were working, we would go around the shop just to follow him,” Anang said. “We even slept on [the coffins]. Your dad, or someone is carrying you when you fall asleep, they just put you on one of the coffins.” Anang’s father took over the Kane Kwei Carpentry Workshop. When requesting to work for his father, Anang was denied. His father wished for him to receive a degree in something different than carpentry. However, Anang did not want to follow the crowd. “I said to myself, ‘why don’t I also create something for myself,’ and by doing so, I knew this job was there, that I could get into it and gain a whole lot of support,” Anang said. Anang spent three years working for his father for no pay, going into the shop after classes, but his classes weren’t required for the job. “Most of the carpenters we have basically happen to be people who are not fully educated, so they cannot come out and fully express whatever they are doing,” Anang said. Anang’s fresh ideas for the shop created tension with his father and uncle’s poor management techniques, he said. Only using nails, glue and soft wood — which decays more quickly — Anang constructs the coffins to be painted. The coffins’ shape reflects what the deceased valued while the paint, which is done by an artist, emphasizes the coffin. Attempting to find new ways to display his art, doors opened for Anang when a commercial shown in Europe featured his fantasy coffins. Within the last few years, Anang has been given the opportunity to show his work in various parts of the world, including Russia, South Korea, Italy and the United States. During the time Anang is touring in America, the family shop is in a trial period without his guidance. “When I’m back home, I basically do almost 60 percent of the job, and the other 40 percent is being done by apprentices,” Anang said. “While I’m away for this period of time, all the time I keep having to be telling them and giving them directions on where they could get such things, from whom

VOTING p1 ence students’ votes and to encourage them to do their own research. Students who wish to register for local elections will need to register with their Ames address. Bahr also said resources and absentee ballots will be made available for students who wish to vote in their home state’s elections. Bahr said it is important to him and the Ames League of Women Voters — which was started by Carrie Chapman Catt, an ISU graduate who became influential in the women’s suffrage movement — to vote because college students are often a target for political parties because they are both very passionate about issues and impressionable. “They mentioned how important it is from their point of view to get in-

Eric Adjetey Anang and integrated studio arts students will work together this week to create a coffin shaped like an ear of corn. Anang’s interest in coffins and woodworking stems from his grandfather’s carpentry shop.

and how.” However, the artistic coffins are not well accepted in Ghana as forms of art. “I tried a couple of times to exhibit the coffins in Ghana,” Anang said. “Usually it was very tough because the mentality was all the time [that] it’s a coffin, so you can’t display it among places where people are.” Martin had already seen Anang’s work in 1990, but he was able to experience it again when he visited Ghana as a part of his work in the Peace Corps for 27 months starting in 2008. Since 2011, Martin and other ISU faculty have actively been trying to get Anang to

visit Iowa State in hopes of giving the design students a global perspective on art. “If I can present them with as large of breadth of skills and concepts and ideas as possible, that’s kind of what I want to do,” Martin said. Students in a beginning level color theory class taught by Cindy Gould, associate professor of integrated studio arts, will be assisting Anang in painting the coffin being constructed outside of the College of Design. “I’m seeing the coffin as it’s being produced and it’s going to be a stylized shape,” Gould said. “It will still be recognizable as an

ear of corn and I think to help emphasize what it is, we will stay within the more traditional range of colors.” Students will submit their own templates for an ear of corn and one will be selected, but only after doing research about Anang, coffin art, and attending his presentation. Many students, including Yuma Izumi, sophomore in integrated studio arts, found Anang’s family’s work inspiring. “I thought it was kind of inspiring that in Ghana his grandfather made death as more of, not a mourning, but a thing to celebrate,” Izumi said. “[It is] something that is more of life.”

volved because at one point they didn’t have the opportunity to vote,” Bahr said of the Ames League of Women Voters. “Sometimes to get students to vote, they’ll ask them, ‘What if you couldn’t vote?’ It would change your mind a little bit.” Kathryn Leidahl, sophomore in pre-business, is also working to get students to understand the importance of voting. Leidahl created SparkVote as part of the Campus Election Engagement Project. “The lowest demo graphic for voters are the people that are between the ages of 18 and 24 — that’s prime college age. I thought to myself, ‘Why aren’t these kids voting?’ There has to be something, maybe politics is going over their head or they think it’s too complex,” Leidahl said about why she championed the voting cause.

SparkVote will be based on the interface of SparkNotes that Leidahl said would be familiar and easy to use for students. The website will feature the who, what, where and when for the upcoming midterm election candidates and races, as well as future races. “What some people don’t realize is that the 18 to 25 demographic we’re trying to capture with this program is actually bigger than our baby boomer generation that everybody seems to be very concerned about,” Leidahl said. “Getting them to be politically active at a young age will help carry them through a very political lifestyle. Hopefully they will pass it down to their children.” The website will be launched in October and an informational pamphlet will be handed out at the early registration event

Wednesday. Leidahl said other public and private universities have been introduced to SparkVote. Leidahl also said she believes college students need to be informed and take part in elections because they represent the future voters and taxpayers. “I just think it’s important for college students to know what kind of impact voting will have on their future, on their career path,” Leidahl said. “I think it’s important for college students to realize that have an impact on policies and their communities by voting for these representatives.” As for students who don’t think their vote will make a difference, Bahr said that is simply untrue. “If we all think that, we’re not going to do very good,” Bahr said. “Not all Americans vote, but if they did they would make a difference.”
