Oktoberfest of the Midwest By Audra.Kincart @iowastatedaily.com

The third year of Ames’ Oktoberfest brought good music, good culture, good food and good beer to Main Street. It also brought double the attendance, something that Main Street Cultural District hopes to carry on to next year. Oktoberfest took place on Main Street with headline acts including Vertical Horizon and The Nadas. There were also five different brewers and German-themed food. Oktoberfest, a German festival, provided an atmosphere similar to the Iowa State Fair that attracted many Ames residents and ISU college students. Oktoberfest, usually during September in Germany, stems from the first Oktoberfest in 1810 in honor of Crown Prince Ludwig’s marriage to Princess Therese von SachsenHildburghausen. The event started Oct. 12 and lasted five days. Oktoberfest was later moved to

September because of the better weather. Most of the beer served at Oktoberfest came from London Underground, which is owned by Jess Clyde. Brands of beer included Shiner, Coors Light and Peace Tree. They also brought in Deschutes Brewery, which added to the diversity of styles at Oktoberfest. “We brought in five different brewers with seven different varieties and a wine pavilion,” said Bill Malone, event chairman of Oktoberfest, when asked what was unique to Oktoberfest this year. Another important aspect of Ames’ Oktoberfest was the German-themed food, including a cheddar wurst with a pretzel bun and sauerkraut as well as three different varieties of German bratwurst. All of this food was provided by Strudl Haus, a Des Moines-based German restaurant owned and operated by an Austrian native.

Air Force ROTC runs to honor POW and MIA

By Lauren.Wilcox @iowastatedaily.com Bringing focus to prisoners of war and personnel missing in action was the goal of the 35.8 mile run from the Iowa Capitol in Des Moines to the Memorial Union on Friday. The ISU Air Force ROTC had its annual run on the third Friday of September to honor veterans who are still classified as a POW or MIA. The run fittingly finishes in Gold Star Hall, where the names of fallen soldiers who attended Iowa State are memorialized. “It started with an official proclamation from the governor saying [the] third Friday of every September will be POW/ MIA [Recognition] Day,” said Ryan Peltier, senior in industrial technology. “It has expanded into cadets getting a whole group together and splitting [it] in half and getting the flags all the way.” Another tradition is carrying the American flag and the POW/ MIA flag the whole way from Des Moines to Ames. The ISU Air

Force ROTC men and women rotate through their running lines so everyone has a chance to carry the flags. When they first get down to the capitol on Friday morning, they present the POW/MIA proclamation and the governor signs it. “We can meet with him, have him sign it and then we all get a picture with him and run up from there,” said Derick Mauser, senior in architecture. Each county or city along the route provides police escorts from the capitol building to the Memorial Union. “Some people try doing the whole thing,” said Colton Kennelly, senior in mechanical engineering. “There are two shifts — one runs in the morning and one runs in the afternoon — so we switch out.” Along with the run, the Air Force ROTC also honors POWs and MIAs by having a cadet stand as an honor guard at a table in the Gold Star Hall. The honor guard stands present in its full-service

Safety departments give tips on being prepared, safe on campus By Dakota.Carpenter @iowastatedaily.com Three public safety departments are focusing on safety and emergency awareness and practices as part of September’s Emergency Preparedness Month. The Environmental Health and Safety Department at Iowa State works with the ISU Police Department and the Emergency Management Agency of Story County to keep the city of Ames updated on preparedness techniques and information. Steve Simpson is the director of the environmental health and safety department on campus. Simpson’s department recently released a video to show students how to act during any type of campus emergency. Simpson said he believes that campus is fully prepared for emergency situations. “We have a lot of resources at hand, and people are trained well at responding,” Simpson said. In addition to working with the local fire department and emergency responders, another resource that Simpson’s department works with is ISU Police. The on-campus police department, which employs 35 state-

certified police officers, assigns liaison officers such as Anthony Greiter to each residence hall on campus. The department prides itself on making sure that students know that these liaison officers are approachable and that they can report incidents to them. “We’re not robots,” Greiter said. “We’re normal people, we’re nice people, we go home to families at the end of the day. You can

Be prepared for campus emergency situations 1. Make an emergency kit that has water, nonperishable foods, identification, backup money, keys to a vehicle and other last minute items. 2. Make a plan. Know your residence area’s evacuation plan and where all exits are located and create an individual emergency plan. 3. Be aware. Anthony Greiter, liaison officer for ISU Police, said students should stay aware when walking to and from places by not looking at cell phones and listening to surroundings. Safety Escort Program phone number: 294-4444

talk to us.” Keith Morgan, emergency management coordinator for Story County, said Iowa State is the second largest jurisdiction that he oversees. Morgan’s job is to prepare his jurisdictions for potential emergency situations. “We look across the entire county and look across the environment for both natural and manmade threats that are out there,” Morgan said. ISU Police and environmental health and safety department offer Violent Incident Response Training, which is an interactive training program that shows students, faculty and staff how to act during any type of violent incident. Being prepared as an individual is just as important as being prepared as a campus, Greiter said. “A lot of people say that you rise to the occasion, but we know that’s not true,” Greiter said. “You fall to the level of your training.” The training can accommodate groups from five to 150 people and ISU Police constantly has requests from students to host training sessions. “People that go through [the training] start to realize that they can control their environment,” Morgan said. Iowa State offers other safety

services for students, faculty and staff. There are 17 emergency phones throughout campus for students to use if they ever feel unsafe. Pushing the red button notifies police and officers are sent to that location. ISU Alert is a communication system that notifies students, faculty and staff of an emergency that may be dangerous to the community through a phone call, text or email. The Safety Escort Program can be called between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. if students feel unsafe walking by themselves across campus. A student employee will escort the caller anywhere on campus or within the greek community. To be prepared for a range of emergencies, students are encouraged to follow a three-step process: make a kit, have a plan and be aware. By following these three steps, students can be more prepared in case of an emergency. A few recommended items to have in a kit would be food and water, a wallet, identification, keys to a vehicle and any last minute items that could be grabbed. Simpson said that although these things are important, they are not the only things that could

benefit students in an emergency situation. “Being prepared is more than just the kit. It’s knowing what would you do, where would you go if you needed to be out of your apartment,” Simpson said. The second step is to have a plan. Most residence halls on campus will have a set evacuation plan, but it isn’t a bad choice to make an individual plan. Grieter recommends knowing where all exits are at all times. In a dangerous situation, he said to view windows as exits. The last step is awareness. With students walking to and from classes with heads down and focusing on their cellphones or listening to music, they are not as aware of their surroundings, Greiter said. “How are you supposed to be aware of what is happening around you if you can’t hear it?” he asked. Even though September is when we draw attention to emergency preparedness, the emergency preparedness departments on campus said students should to strive to be prepared every day of every month for all types of situations. “If we work together, we can save lives,” Simpson said.

Professor creates nonexplosive trash can to prevent terrorism By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com William Prindle, professor of industrial design, is working on an invention that may provide protection for the public in an unusual way. His latest creation is a trash receptacle that is resistant to explosives. Because of security concerns in the United States rising to greater levels in the last 15 years, finding solutions to terrorist and domestic threats has become a priority. Prindle said he believes his latest project may be a solution. “The idea is to protect the public,” Prindle said. The idea for an ex plosive-resistant trash can came to Prindle after the bombing of Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta during the 1996 Summer Olympics. Prindle proposed the idea to his company, Forms plus Surfaces in California, where he was then the vice president of design and development. But the idea was shelved. With a new opportunity for success, Prindle is hopeful that his nonexplosive trash can could do good things for Iowa State as well as save lives.

The trash can would protect the public from lateral damage from both the blast and the shrapnel of an explosive. It can withstand the equivalent 2.2 pounds of TNT and last for 20 years. The design is meant for “soft target” areas, which include shopping malls, movie theaters and other public spaces. Not only would the trash cans be permanent fixtures in their locations, but Prindle hopes to tailor the concept to work at events such as Ragbrai and the Iowa State Fair. Prindle said his design is still in its early stages of development. Currently, he is testing his design digitally by running calculations on a computer program. This will give him insight about the specifics of his design before building a prototype, he said. “We’re in the digital planning stages, gathering information and research,” Prindle said. “We will run computer models of the explosions so we can get an idea of the calculations of the responses.” Other variables are being considered, such as the maintenance and the initial cost of building new trash cans or refitting current ones. Prindle said that terrorism is not just about the

direct threat but the perceived threat as well. He hopes his design will not be obvious in its purpose. “Most of this is about offering protection to people but also as a reassurance,” Prindle said. “I don’t want to use this as a way to provoke fear and the threat.” He hopes that his students will be able to participate in expanding the design possibilities of his trash can. His goal is to have several different designs for his trash cans so they blend into various environments. “These cans have to fit into their environment,” Prindle said. “There’s a certain amount of secrecy here, as to not show our hand completely.” Once the trash receptacle is introduced in Iowa, Prindle plans to expand both nationally and internationally. “I want it to originate with Iowa State, but I want it to eventually be branched out.” Prindle plans to move his process forward by the spring. He has been having talks with groups who are interested in his invention, but he does not wish to disclose names. “So far, everyone we have approached has been really enthusiastic about

it,” he said. “My goal is to do my research and put together a professional package before I put this out there.” Prindle hopes his design will be a collaboration of many colleges at Iowa State. “I would like this to be a multi-discipline project,” he said. “I want to involve mechanical engineering, landscape architecture and other departments.” He is currently working on earning grants to fund his project in order to make prototypes. Colton Lindemann, senior in mechanical engineering, has worked with Prindle by helping him with his research and development. He said he has found the work rewarding. “Any project that may save lives is something worth investing in,” Lindemann said. ”Even if just one life is saved, all the work that went into the project is worth it. Lindemann is confident that this project is a great opportunity for Iowa State. “The potential of this project could very easily result in a product that may be used all over the United States, as well as internationally,” Lindemann said.

in biology, said she feels very safe at Iowa State and has no fear for any threats on campus. However, she believes this design would be beneficial.

“I don’t think it’s necessary, but I think it’s a good idea,” Zimmer said. “It would be nice to know we have that sort of security.”

ISU students collaborate with national rally, show support for UN action on climate change More than 40 people stood on the corner of Lincoln Way and Welch Avenue on Sunday, holding signs in support of action on climate change. Participants worked in solidarity with a rally in New York City and rallies all around the world for the People’s Climate March. The rallies were meant to show the United Nations that there is support for action on climate change. The rally came ahead of Tuesday’s United Nations summit on climate change. According to MSNBC, hundreds of thousands of people attended the march in New York City. “Until you get people in the streets, until you have massive rallies across the country, including maybe over 100,000 people in New York, a decent turnout here and all sorts of cities across the country, you aren’t going to get the needed policy changes,” said Stephen Biggs, assistant professor of philosophy and religious studies and a leader of the Ames chapter of the Citizens Climate Lobby. The People’s Climate

March had more than 1,000 organizations participating, including 350.org, a website dedicated to connecting climate change campaigns. The website partnered with ActivUS, an ISU club that chooses an activist campaign in which to participate each semester. Rivka Fidel, graduate student in agronomy and president of ActivUS, said the current campaign for ActivUS is Fossil Free. It is pushing for the university to stop using fossil fuels. “When other people start organizing for something like this, it’s really empowering to know that there’s other people who believe in the same thing as I do,” Fidel said. “And then when they actually show up in person, it’s even greater.” Fidel said she created a Facebook page and placed the event on the People’s Climate Change website to let students know about the event. She said she was happy to see that some of the participants were not involved in ActivUS or the Ames chapter of the Citizens Climate Lobby. Biggs said he thinks people have a terrible misconception that when

important things need to happen, political leaders will take care of it. He said people need to put pressure on their elected leaders and politicians need to have a large number of people telling them that they won’t get votes if they don’t take action. The Citizens Climate Lobby is pushing for a carbon pollution tax that would be paid for by fossil fuel companies. The proposed legislation would also give all of the collected tax money back to the public, according to its web-

site. The tax would increase from year to year in an effort to discourage fossil fuel production. “The basic science is very clear that we are increasing greenhouse gasses and we are changing our climate,” said William Gutowski, professor of geological and atmospheric sciences. “All it takes is college freshman level physics and a little bit of algebra. It’s not rocket science.” ActivUS has meetings at 6 p.m. every first and third Thursday at Sloss House.

OKTOBERFEST p1 Volunteers wore fitted, traditional German outfits that added to the conventional German culture of Oktoberfest. Although there is many people with German heritage in Iowa, targeting them was not the goal of the event, said Emily Miller, events coordinator for Main Street Cultural District. Rather, the coordinators viewed Oktoberfest as one of the only community-oriented events hosted in the fall. Oktoberfest did however include some of the same traditional events. Polka dancing was performed Saturday by a polka dancing club that also of-

fered polka dancing lessons to those interested. There were also wine and beer tasting cards available for $10 that enabled customers to try 10 different wines and beers. Oktoberfest was a completely volunteer-run event. Vendors and workers mostly included Main Street business owners and operators. This enabled the owners to gain and promote their business and they definitely saw the benefits of being a vendor of Oktoberfest, said Bethany DeVries, owner of Della Viti located on Main Street. Although one had to be 21 or older to attend Oktoberfest, Miller said the Ames City Council is looking into changing policy

to make this and similar events open to minors in the future. When asked what the future of Oktoberfest holds, Miller said, “Who knows? The people on the board have huge imaginations and can throw [Oktoberfest] in any direction that they want. We want it to be the Oktoberfest of the Midwest.” Miller believes this can be accomplished by hosting a longer event in a larger area with more vendors, something the coordinators plan to do for next year’s Oktoberfest. Students Kyle Martin, Kenton Betz and Alex Rover all agreed about what drew them to Oktoberfest: good music, good culture, good food and good beer.

Ames hosted its third annual Oktoberfest festival Saturday with authentic German food, games, European wine, craft beer, polka music and dancing lessons. The festival took place on Main Street and was run entirely by volunteers, most of whom were Main Street business owners and operators.

crisp and cleaner,” Mlcoch said. Mlcoch said the day means a lot to him because he has family members in the military that have experienced those situations. “The names on the walls in there, I do it for them and we all do it for them,” Mlcoch said. “These are former Iowa State students that no longer are able to come home. It means a lot being able to do this to represent the students of our school that weren’t able to come home.” Cadets stand at attention the entire time they are guarding the table and rotate in shifts throughout

the day. For Kristen Skadeland, junior in mathematics, the run gives her a bigger meaning to the military’s sacrifices. “Running it just kind of helps me think about those who have sacrificed their lives and made the ultimate sacrifice before me,” Skadeland said. Isaac Kinrade, senior in interdisciplinary studies, said remembering the POWs and MIAs was the most important thing. “The people that we do this for, they’re not free,” Kinrade said. “It’s just a huge relief for us to be able to do this, knowing they are not able to.”

Get mad about student debt levels

5 EDITORIAL

By Michael.Glawe @iowastatedaily.com

he issue of student debt has been taken up by the Occupy movement in recent years — actually, it’s been assumed by a branch of that group named Rolling Jubilee. Along with advocating for legislative easement of student loans, Rolling Jubilee also buys student debt and erases it. In response to these calls for action against student debt, some writers and commentators from older generations are crying for an end to the “sob stories” of student debt. I am writing this column because this sort of snobbery makes me mad. I’m mad, just like Howard Beale proclaims in the movie “Network”: “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.” I call on my fellow students to get angry. We should be angry. I don’t know what to do about the student debt crisis, but I know, just as Beale professes, that first you’ve got to get mad — “You’ve got to say, ‘I’m a human being and goddamn it my life has value.’” This year, student loan debt exceeded $1.2 trillion nationally. As a right of passage to the promised land of employment, we must assume this great burden. Many of us will carry this burden for the rest of our lives and we can’t even discharge the debt in bankruptcy. Our future job prospects depend on education. Regardless of whether we get our dream job or not, we will always have that haunting debt following us. Oh and good luck if you end up in a low-income bracket. We hear the horror stories and witness students slowly losing their grasp on the American dream — whatever that means anymore — and in response we see many legislators simply shrugging their shoulders saying, “Not my problem.” It’s your problem if you want to keep speaking about the prosperous future of our country. We millennials are searching for employment now and what do we see? A decimated job market left in shambles because many of those in the generations before us couldn’t get their act together. It’s no surprise that millennials feel as if they

Baylor University’s Student Senate passed on a bill that would allow concealed weapons on campus. Currently in Iowa, weapons are not allowed on campus and if they were, they would only create problems for police.

Many students come out of college with a degree, no job and a lot of debt. Student debt exceeds $1.2 trillion and lawmakers are doing little to help students and say that it’s not their problem, which should make students angry.

got the short end of the stick. The Economic Policy Institute reports that, at least for the classes of 2013 and 2014, roughly 8.5 percent of college graduates between the ages of 21 and 24 were unemployed. The report also shows that 16.8 percent of new graduates are underemployed, meaning they’re working less than full time or they’re overqualified for their position. So we’re told to get an education because it’s a requirement nowadays and saddle ourselves with massive debt, but then we’re warned, “Good luck finding a job.” This should anger us. What should make us even more angry is that Republicans blocked attempts to allow students to refinance their loans to lower interest rates. Let’s put this in perspective. After graduation, we assume a plethora of costs and debts on top of our student loans. But then our university calls us, asking us alumni for more money. I had one such call this past summer asking me to contribute to a senior scholarship. The girl on the other end of the line kept haggling me — “Could you contribute $200? No? OK, how about $150? No? How about $100?” I haven’t even graduated

yet and I’m being asked to donate? I don’t have money, so leave me alone. Tuition is just the tip of the iceberg. How about price gouging for textbooks? I’m sure I’m not the only one who gets pissed off when I have to buy a textbook for hundreds of dollars, only to have it gather dust on my bookshelf. The rental costs for textbooks are outrageous, too. I can understand attempts to hedge against wear and tear, but how many times have we rented a textbook in horrible condition for the same ridiculous price? No thanks, I’ll go to the library instead and check it out. Oh, it’s already checked out and the student who has it gets to keep it until the end of the semester? No matter, I’ll check it out on course reserve. But I only get to use it for two hours at a time — that’ll be useful when finals rear their ugly heads. Textbooks aren’t the only overpriced items. What about paying to take a required class that ends up being completely useless? How about our meals? It’s so much more cost effective to cook your own meal, but good luck cooking your own meals if you’re an underclassman living in the dorms. When you’ve finally escaped the dorms, you then have to deal with your landlords. Now I have a pretty

convenient setup at my own living space, but many of my fellow students have it bad. On many occasions, my fellow students shovel out a good chunk of their money to live in a shabby, incomplete living space where the appliances work at random times and the maintenance man or woman doesn’t arrive for a week after you’ve requested their assistance. Even then, whatever you asked to be fixed isn’t fixed. Moving out? Did you make sure the apartment or dorm is spotless? Did you clean the vents? You didn’t clean the vents? That’s a $50 fine. But hey, that’s business. As 1st Lt. Aldo Raine proudly claimed in the movie “Inglourious Basterds,” “Business is a-boomin’.” Now we students can certainly do our part. We can stop spending money on so much alcohol for starters. We can be careful with our money and spend it on necessities only. But the few pennies we pinch here and there amount to little in the broad spectrum of our loan repayment period. It comes as no surprise that students choose to spend so much money on alcohol. You might as well have a good time now before the debtors come knocking. So tell me: Are you mad yet?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

ISU bike share continues to develop By Nick Terhall, GSB director of student affairs and bike share project lead There has been quite a bit of discussion surrounding the bike share program lately, so, as the overall lead on the project, I would like to give students an update on where the program currently stands, the plan for moving forward and why I strongly feel that this program stands to potentially be a huge benefit to Iowa State. Since the industrial design studio in spring 2014 completed work on three conceptual bike designs, quite a bit of work has been done to advance the program. Over the summer, I formed the Bike Share Committee, half of whom are students with the other half being faculty and staff. This committee has representation from Recreation Services; Facilities, Planning and Management; Office of Sustainability; Government of the Student Body, the industrial design program and several students groups, such as the ISU Cycling Club. This committee is responsible for overseeing the project and making decisions regarding how the program moves forward as well as providing a longterm knowledge base about the program. This semester, more than 40 students from industrial

design, software engineering, mechanical engineering, computer engineering, computer science and community and regional planning are directly involved in working on the project. Outcomes from this semester’s work will be two fully-functioning rideable prototype bicycles, a working docking station prototype, development of software and a phone app and an implementation plan. But most importantly, the community and regional planning class will deliver a study on overall transportation on campus, including CyRide, vehicle traffic, pedestrians and bicycle, along with proposed changes and a feasibility study on how a bike share program might fit into all of that. This is something that the university is very interested in as well. There was a meeting of major parties involved in the bike share program Wednesday, which included Tom Hill, senior vice president for student affairs, GSB President Hillary Kletscher, GSB Speaker of the Senate Gabe Walsh, the industrial design department and myself. At that meeting, we discussed the future of the program, what the program would accomplish and how it would be funded. Both Hill and the industrial design department reaffirmed their commitment to the effort and

their financial support. The College of Design will also potentially support the program financially, along with private donors in the future. Despite the recent failure of the bike share funding bill in the GSB Senate, after talks with Senate leadership, I will also be returning to the Senate with a reduced request in the near future. Moving forward, there will be additional classes working on the project in the spring semester, which will focus on additional software development and program logistics. We are currently in the second semester of what will likely be a four semester research and development effort. We are currently developing a more detailed longterm plan, but the actual implementation would likely occur two to four years from now, depending on a variety of factors and if the developed program is right for Iowa State. I want to stress that we are currently working on the development and applied research of a bike share program for Iowa State and not fully committing ourselves to actually putting a system on campus. This program is a huge educational benefit to the students involved as they get to apply their skills to a realworld project. Even if this project is an eventual failure, I would argue

that failure is an excellent learning opportunity and a huge component of eventual success. This project has also already begun to spark quite a bit of interest both in Iowa and across the nation, even absent of promotional effort by those involved in the project. We’re the first university to even attempt in-house development of a bike share program from the ground up. With us being the first, there are no precedents to follow or examples from which to draw. While that might make some nervous, I find it absolutely exhilarating that we’re literally setting the precedent for the future of college bike share programs and bike share programs in general. This project also shows the university that students are actively invested in solving the transportation issues currently facing campus through a student initiative that was started by students, is run by students, is being worked on by students and is for students. I have the upmost confidence in the unbelievable talent we have here at this university and hope you will join me in supporting them and this incredible project too. Any students with questions or comments about the program are encouraged to get in touch with me at nterhall@iastate.edu.

Gun control is one of the most controversial and polarizing societal issues facing the American public. Baylor University may soon become a miniature forum for that very debate to take place. Baylor’s Student Senate voted on a bill allowing individuals with concealed carry licenses to bring concealed handguns on campus. The Senate believes that having more legal handguns on campus will decrease the likelihood of a gun crime being committed at the university — or at least cut down on the dangers posed to students, faculty and guests if a gun crime is committed. The bill must now be approved by the student body president. Even if the bill is met with approval at that stage, the final go ahead must be given by the school’s Board of Regents. The university is opposed to the concealed carry bill, according to the Waco Tribune. The idea that more guns being carried by private citizens can stop gun crimes is faulty logic. There are already safety measures taken on every campus to respond to active shooter situations, including campus police departments, though they are not the only precaution. We should trust those measures and organizations to do their jobs protecting campuses and leave the matter the hands of professionals. In most situations, the presence of more guns, even when aimed at someone who is a threat, typically only causes further confusion and panic. For example, say police are responding to an on-campus gun threat. They arrive at the scene and, instead of seeing only one person with a gun and being able to immediately identify the threat, they see two armed individuals. They can’t determine the threat from the civilian. The risk of harm to innocent private citizens is unnecessarily increased. The bill came about as the result of a student petition that gained 600 signatures — at a school of nearly 15,000 — with nearly 200 of them being university faculty and staff. Given the ratio of signatures gained to total students and staff, it is not even clear whether or not the proposal has majority approval from the population. As the law stands now in the state of Iowa, carrying a firearm or any other “dangerous weapons” on the school grounds of the three public universities is a violation of the law and the person who committed the crime is subject to criminal punishment. Not even visitors to the university are permitted to carry weapons on campus. The point is that a bill such as the one being proposed at Baylor is not an immediate or even likely possibility at Iowa State. However, as shown by evidence from all across the nation and various social debates, once an idea takes hold in one place, it can quickly spread to another, for better or worse. For that reason, it is important that students, student government and university staff preempt these types of discussions by establishing a university consensus on gun control. That way, if similar debates arise on our campus, there will already be a solid ground for arguments to be made. The idea of students and faculty being allowed to carry handguns on campus is more than disconcerting. The presence of legal guns will never cut down the presence or use of illegal firearms. There is no doubt that the vast majority of licensed gun owners who also possess a concealed carry permit exercise their right responsibly and perhaps even to the benefit of those around them, but if even one person makes use of his or her weapon to cause harm to innocent civilians, the result would be disastrous. An increased gun total may only increase the risk of such an event taking place.

Ciara Capezio celebrates with her teammates after scoring a point against Iowa on Saturday. The Cyclones swept the Hawkeyes 3-0, giving Iowa State a 7-0 lead in the Cy-Hawk Series.

Cyclones dominate in Cy-Hawk Series By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com It has been 17 years since Iowa State last fell to Iowa on the volleyball court, but on Saturday, the Cyclones’ 10th consecutive win against their in-state rival proved one of the most difficult to capture. “I think [Iowa is] a good team and probably the best I have seen them,” said ISU head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “It is always such an interesting match because you feel like they play 10 times better than what you saw in film because of the rivalry.” The ISU volleyball team (6-3, 0-0 Big 12) defeated Iowa (8-3, 0-0 Big 10) in straight sets 25-23, 2522, 25-15. Yet, Iowa State’s

triumph appeared more in doubt during the match than what the stat sheet might indicate. Johnson-Lynch said that the victory boiled down to just a few points at the end of the first and second sets. “We call critical points the points when you’re 23all or at match point,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Those are always big points and [the question is] can you make a good, aggressive decision in that moment? Every time you do that, you learn a little bit. You do gain confidence.” The Cyclones found themselves in need of a few critical points when they were tied with the Hawkeyes 23-23 at the end of the first set. As has been a theme

for Iowa State all season, it was young talent that rose up to respond to the challenge. Middle blocker and redshirt freshman Samara West jumped and stuffed an Iowa attack to claim a 24-23 lead for the Cyclones. On the next point, West snuffed out the Hawkeyes’ hopes with a spike that found home on the Iowa side of the court, earning the Cyclones its first set and sending the largest crowd of the season into a frenzy. “That changed our momentum tremendously,” said sophomore outside hitter Ciara Capezio. “When you have big blocks and kills like that, it gets everyone pumped up and ready to just get that last point.”

Freshman middle blocker Alexis Conaway said the excitement in Hilton Coliseum at the height of the competition inspired Iowa State and made her first Cy-Hawk experience a memorable one. “It is exciting,” Conaway said. “Everyone is excited to be there. Just to be surrounded by everyone who loves volleyball and everyone cheering us on, it is a fun experience.” Conaway made her mark in every aspect of the match, tallying 10 kills, six digs and five block assists while leading Iowa State with a hitting percentage of .438. She said that aside from West’s clutch performance on back-to-back points, the keys to Iowa State’s victories in the first

two sets were the volleyball team’s calmness and consistency. “As [the match] gets closer, you know the score, but for us the big thing was just to stay consistent and stay steady,” Conaway said. “Forcing them to play the ball and forcing them to make the mistakes is what makes a difference.” After another close contest in the second set, Iowa State was able to pull away in set number three as the ISU talent coupled with the atmosphere inside Hilton proved simply too much for the Hawkeyes to overcome. Senior setter and defensive specialist Taylor Goetz said that the narrow triumph was a satisfying way to cap her career in the Cy-Hawk Series.

“Every year it is fun to get the win against the Hawkeyes,” Goetz said. “I am from Iowa, so I have always had that rivalry in me. It is always a fun game to play.” Johnson-Lynch said that the win is of the utmost importance for the Cyclones, as they have only one match remaining — Northern Iowa — before heading into Big 12 play and the toughest opponents of their schedule. “We know how much this means to the series,” Johnson-Lynch said. “It is important that we contribute to the Cy-Hawk Series and that we beat good teams. We want to see it at the end of the year. We want to be ranked ... and this type of match helps us get there.”

Men’s golf prepares for first fall tournaments By Mike.Randleman @iowastatedaily.com It’s been a long wait for the ISU men’s golf team. At this point last season, the Cyclones were preparing for their third of five tournaments. This year’s schedule differs: Their first three tournaments are stacked in a fifteen-day stretch, beginning with the Virginia Commonwealth University Shootout on Monday and Tuesday. “It’s definitely felt strange with the slower start. We’re going to have four full weeks of class before we’re competing,” said head coach Andrew Tank. “I think we’re a little bit anxious to get going, but I think also if we use our time right this week, we can be really prepared for the three events.” The Cyclones will be the only team in the field to make their debut this week, but senior Scott Fernandez insisted it should not be a problem for the team. “I think it plays to our advantage since we’re really ready for the first one,” Fernandez said. “Most of us have played tournaments throughout the summer, so it’s not like in the winter where you’re starting again. We’ve all been playing and

practicing for three months. We’re hungry for golf.” Another reason Fernandez might not have concerns for the late start is his past success at the host course at Hermitage Country Club. The VCU Shootout was the site of his first medalist honors in 2011. Since then, Fernandez has also finished tied for nineteenth and tied for second place. His strong scores have led the team to finishes on the upper-half of the leaderboard in the past three seasons, including a runner-up finish last season. “It’s a great event. We really like the golf course,” Tank said. “Nate McCoy was a past champion. Scott’s won. Collin Foster was leading after 36 holes last year. The team finished second. It’s a good place to start the season.” Using the final rankings from the 2013-14 season, No. 42 Iowa State is the second-highest ranked team in the field behind No. 21 Virginia Tech, who beat the Cyclones by 22 strokes at last year’s event. In a relatively weak field that features only four top-100 teams, the Cyclones may have one of their best chances to break through for a victory after knocking on the door last season with five runner-up

finishes. “It’s going to be interesting to see how we go against those teams,” said senior Sam Daley, who finished in 29th place at the 2013 VCU Shootout. “Virginia Tech was consistently ahead of us last season. With all five returning and continuing to get better, hopefully we can top Virginia Tech and some of those other schools and hopefully we can win a tournament this year.”

Chip shots The ISU men’s golf team is making its season debut at the VCU Shootout on Monday and Tuesday at Hermitage Country Club in Manakin-Sabot, Va. At this point last season, the Cyclones had already played in two events. The VCU Shootout will kick off a 15-day stretch that includes Iowa State’s three fall tournaments. Iowa State will use the same starting lineup that competed at the 2013 VCU Shootout: sophomores Ruben Sondjaja and Nick Voke, redshirt junior Collin Foster and seniors Sam Daley and Scott Fernandez. Sophomore Jack Carter will also compete individually.

Goalie Matt Cooper was integral to the Cyclone Hockey victory against Oklahoma on Saturday. Cooper only allowed one goal in the 2-1 victory, which tied the series between the teams at 1-1.

Cyclone Hockey splits Oklahoma series By Wally.Gamon @iowastatedaily.com Cyclone Hockey (11-0 ACHA), ranked No. 5, regained its confidence by evening the series against the No. 4 ranked Oklahoma Sooners (1-1-0 ACHA). The Cyclones suffered a disappointing 3-1 loss to the Sooners on Friday by blowing scoring chances and power plays. On Saturday, however, they looked like a completely different team and edged out a 2-1 victory. Now they feel confident moving forward. “We needed this win,” said head coach Jason Fairman. “If we would have been swept this weekend at home, I don’t know how long it would take for us to regain our confidence so this is a big win for the team.” The Cyclones’ defense seemed to have a big im-

provement from one game to the next. The Cyclones gave up three goals during the first game and only one during the second. Cyclone goalie Matt Cooper made 36 saves on 39 shots Friday and 37 saves on 38 shots for the game Saturday. “I think our team played well. We can definitely stack up against one of the top teams in the country,” Cooper said. “We put a really good effort forward today and it was a good team bonding experience.” Oklahoma took a 1-0 lead in the first game on a power play goal with just less than two minutes left in the first period. Oklahoma extended its lead to 2-0 in the second period after Darrell Boldon scored with just under three minutes remaining. The Cyclones ended up getting a goal back, only to give up another

one shortly after. Cyclone Hockey fell 3-1 in its American Collegiate Hockey association opening series. Game two of the series went to the Cyclones because of their constant pressure and great goalie play. The team allowed only 20 shots to be taken in the first two periods but allowed 18 in the third period alone. The teams were tied 0-0 heading into the first intermission. The Cyclones out-shot the Sooners 11 to six. Senior forward Alec Wilhelmi gave the Cyclones a 1-0 lead early in the second with a shot from 40 feet out. They managed to hold onto the lead heading into the third period where Oklahoma came out shooting. Cooper responded with 17 saves on 18 shots. Trevor Lloyd gave the

Going to career fairs is an essential step to finding a job after college. This year, the Engineering Career Fair is on Tuesday. The Business, Industry and Technology and the People to People career fairs are on Wednesday. The fairs are at Hilton Coliseum, Scheman Building or both.

Approach employers with ease By Lauren.Vigar @iowastatedaily.com Attending the career fair can be a nerve-wracking experience. You are suddenly submerged into a room full of employers, and it can be overwhelming. The career fair can be a vital tool in helping secure internships and jobs in the future. One of the most important tools needed in order to thrive at the career fair is knowing how to approach employers. First impressions are important because that is all the employer knows about you. In order to be successful in approaching these employers, you must prepare beforehand. Taren Crow, director of Career Services in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, advises students to do their research. Crow explained that all employers that will be present at the career fair have information on students’ CyHire accounts. “Get as much information about them as you can,” Crow said. Conducting research on the employer helps show that you are interested and helps you stand out. Part of doing research includes coming up with questions to ask the employers. You should have questions but also show that you did your research in the

way that you present these questions. The next important step in being prepared is knowing how to present yourself. Make sure that you bring multiple copies of your resume to hand out and keep them stored in a professional pad folio. “Students should be prepared that an employer may not take their resume, but it is good to have copies with them,” said Loni Pringnitz, director of Career Services in the College of Human Sciences. Pringnitz also said that if at all possible, do not bring your backpack into the career fair with you. Making the approach is one of the scariest parts, but it is also vital to execute it correctly. “Being comfortable and confident is a big part,” Pringnitz said. Each college hosts its own career fair prep nights. Pringnitz advises that students attend these to practice scenarios. The more practice, the easier confidence will come off when meeting employers. Your first approach to an employer is a chance to make yourself stand out. A firm handshake, eye contact and a proper introduction will do the trick. Pringnitz said that you want to figure out what your 30-second selling point is. Employers will pay at-

tention to the way you are dressed. “Wear something conservative and professional, something that is not flashy and won’t take away from what you have to say,” Crow said. Wearing professional clothes helps you stand out

and it helps convey that you are taking the career fair seriously. Preparing yourself for the career fair is one of the best ways to stand out amongst peers. Making sure you have done research and knowing the right actions are extremely important.
