Some Iowa state students have chosen to take their adventures around the world this semester through various study abroad programs. This fall, there are 226 students participating in study abroad programs. Many students take the opportunity to travel and study every year — last year, over the course of both semesters, about 1,500 students went abroad. Where are these students studying? All over the world. “The opportunities are limitless,” said Trevor Nelson, study abroad center program manager. “ISU offers program on every continent, including Antarctica.” This semester, students are participating in 61 programs at 50 different locations in 22 countries. These countries include: Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda, Australia, New Zealand, Bhutan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Austria, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, Ecuador, Peru and Panama.

Aspiring writers, seasoned poets, bird lovers and curious people alike are invited to take part in an online crowdsourced poetry project titled “Iowa Bird of Mouth.” Jennifer Knox, lecturer in the Iowa State English department, who was inspired by “La Familia,” a crowdsourced poem done by Juan Felipe Herrera, is heading the project. Knox received the 2017 Iowa Arts Councipoetryl Fellowship and will use the support provided by the organization to embark upon her project, which honors Iowa birds. The project will run from September 2016 to August 2017. A different bird will be the inspiration for crowdsourced poetry each month, and anyone can submit to the poems. The Iowa Bird of Mouth’s website, where contributors can go to submit their lines for the poem, has high filters for profanity because Knox wants students and classrooms to use the project. Poetry for September’s bird, the goldfinch, is open for submission until Sept. 30, and will be followed up by the pheasant in October. Tyler Harms, who leads the Iowa Young Birders, came up with and determined the order for each of the 12 birds. Knox said she wants to get people to write who have always wanted to create a poem, but have been frightened to. “This is a great place to share your words and be a part of the community,” Knox said. The project also has a theme song titled “The Elephant and the Tiger (Birds of a Feather).” Local Ames artists Quervo and Strong Like Bear collaborated to create the theme song. Knox said she isn’t sure yet what she’ll do when the project is over, but some ideas include turning IBOM into a book, or collaborating with Iowa visual artists. “I could see this continuing to be a cool, collaborative project that encourages environmental consciousness,” Knox said.

Award funds research Students reflect on Arab Spring offers insight about water quality Trio into uprisings By Paige.Anson @iowastatedaily.com A better economical understanding of the value of water is in progress at Iowa State University after an $800,000 award was given to researchers at The Center for Agricultural and Rural Development by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA.) “The reason that the EPA is interested in this kind of analysis is that they are tasked by the government to do a Cost Benefit Analysis to come up with rules and regulations,” said Cathy Kling, director of the Center of Agricultural and Rural Development (CARDS), and the leading investigator on the project. “If we were going to improve the water quality from what it is now, it’s going to cost something,” Kling said. “If you impose some costs on people, you have to have a good idea on how those costs will benefit the people.” The findings of the project will better define what people value their water quality at, giving federal

government and state agencies a basis on which they can make decisions on how and where to spend public dollars concerning water-related issues. The project’s first step is to begin with small focus groups that will be presented with pictures of rivers and streams with differing levels of water quality. The researchers at CARD will discuss with the focus groups what ecological indicators are important to them, and will then determine what varying levels of water quality look like to them. “Do they care what the water looks like? What community of animals live there?” Kling said. “When they see pictures of what looks like a healthy characteristic to an ecologist, we want to know how they would perceive that characteristic of that water system.” Surveys will also be developed where different levels of water quality will be depicted to groups, and their responses to these pictures will provide more basis in defining how they value water. Following the focus groups and

For three Iowa State students, living through the overthrow of a government was an up close and personal endeavor experienced during the Arab Spring uprisings and riots in the Middle East during the fall and winter of 2011. Speaking in the Memorial Union on Thursday night, the three students provided context toward the Arab revolution in a lecture titled “In the Heart of the Arab Spring.” Taking place between 2010 and 2012, the Arab Spring was the formation of several Middle Eastern political revolutions. Karim Abdelhamid, senior in biosystems engineering, was a teenager in Egypt during the beginning of the Arab Spring and recalled his reactions to the injustice seen within his city. “Starting as a junior in high

Two diversity hires announced By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com

SPORTS

Iowa State announced Thursday that Nicci Port and Liz Mendez-Shannon have been hired as new project directors for diversity and inclusion in LGBTQA+ affairs and Hispanic/Latino affairs, respectively. Port and Mendez-Shannon will start their positions beginning Oct. 3, and will work with Reginald Stewart, the vice president for diversity and inclusion. Stewart said in a release that he feels that with the two new positions and other recent hires, it signifies an earnest effort to improve the university climate. Port, according to Iowa State, will focus on issues important to the LGBTQA+ community, along with support the universities efforts to develop a more inclusive environment. Mendez-Shannon will work to provide outreach and support to students, faculty and staff with an emphasis on Hispanic, Latino, Latinx and other underrepresented

populations, Port is currently an administrative specialist in the College of Human Sciences and Mendez-Shannon previously served as an associate professor in social work at Metropolitan State. “I believe diversity and inclusion offices should employ a team-based approach because no one person has all of the lenses and filters needed to do this work,” Stewart said.

Bake sale to benefit United Way By Jenna.Hrdlicka @iowastatedaily.com Craving a cookie? Stop by a bake sale being held by the College of LAS for some baked goods and an opportunity to support the United Way of Story County. The bake sale will be held in the Carver Hall first floor commons from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. “The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is a big supporter of United Way because we believe in the or-

ganization’s mission, which is to improve lives,” said Jess Guess, communication specialist for the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences. The sale will be run by faculty and staff in the college who have volunteered to bake goods for the sale or donate their time. The food items being sold will vary from cookies to bars to caramel apples, and most will be priced under $3. “The college is planning a few other fundraising events to reach its goal for the 2016

United Way campaign. A silent auction will run October 3-11 and will include items such as autographed basketballs and a football from ISU head coaches, handmade artwork, unique décor from worldly travels and more. Faculty and staff have also volunteered for special projects around the community throughout September, such as reading to children at Gilbert Elementary School and working with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) to organize supplies.”

Maintenance to affect internet Sunday By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State will be installing new internet routers on campus Sunday from 4 a.m. to 4 p.m., which may kick some users offline. “Individuals using Iowa State’s network and websites may experience intermittent periods (up to 30 minutes) of little or no connectivity, most likely in early morning when work starts,” Inside Iowa State

stated. For those on campus, they will be able to reach other on-campus resources, such as Blackboard and AccessPlus. Emergency services, such as 911 or fire alarms, will also be maintained. “The IT networking and communications teams have been preparing for this upgrade since 2015,” said chief information officer Jim Kurtenbach to Inside Iowa State. “The technology teams and our service

partners look forward to providing ISU with a new and improved level of connectivity and appreciate everyone’s patience during this installation. This is an important upgrade, providing our campus network with greater speeds and more reliability.” Those trying to access university sites will not be able to from off-campus. On-campus users may also not be able to connect to off-campus websites like CyBox and CyMail.

Andrew Derocher, professor of biology at the University of Alberta, lectures Thursday about polar bears in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

Climate change breaks ice Lecturer discusses human’s impact on polar bear population

By Brandon.Ghazali @iowastatedaily.com Andrew Derocher, professor of biology at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, shared his personal stories and extensive knowledge about polar bears with Iowa State students and others in attendance during a lecture Thursday. “If there’s no ice, there’s no ice bear,” Derocher said to the hundreds seated in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. The theme of his lecture was the effects of climate change and pollution on polar bears. Derocher’s field work involves observing polar bears in the Canadian Arctic, Hudson Bay and Svalbard, Norway, where he worked with the Norwegian Polar Institute. More recently, Derocher has focused his research on the effects of climate change and toxic chemicals on polar bears. In his lecture, Derocher cited many consequences of “climate warming” in relation to polar bears, the obvious one being less ice, which is the polar bears’ natural habitat. Since ice is also home to their prey, the ringed and bearded seals, he said that when it melts polar bears are forced to fast more and feed less. “We’re affecting their access to their food,” he said. A lack of food also increases polar bear activity, as they need to travel more in search for their next meal. This results in bears with low body conditions who are unfit to reproduce or rear their cubs, causing overall

population decline. Because polar bears have small litters of only one to two cubs and a long lifespan of 24 to 28 years, Derocher said it takes longer for polar bears to recover following a decline in population. The major factors affecting the polar bears’ habitat include arctic shipping, oil and gas development and endocrine disrupting pollutants, Derocher said. He also said that human interaction has become more of an issue. Since their natural habitats are shrinking, the bears are moving closer to towns in the northern parts of Canada and Europe. They are hunted regularly as trophy animals. Derocher said their furs often fetch about $7,000. Despite these threats, Derocher said polar bears still number up to 25,000 in the wild and that “polar bears should persist to the end of the century.” Derocher said he doesn’t want to “save the bears” and that he is strictly an advocate for the science of polar bears. He also stressed that he is not a climate scientist, but that “the only conservation solution is reducing greenhouse gas production.” A large amount of data exists on polar bears thanks to cooperation between scientists around the world, Derocher said. He also acknowledged how easy it is to study them due to their “curious” nature. “We know what’s going on with these animals,” he said. “We can really monitor these bears right when they leave the den.”

Derocher showed the audience a video of him and his colleagues following a polar bear via chopper, eventually firing a tranquilizer dart at it. Attendees were also able to view pictures of Derocher with polar bear cubs and half-eaten seals. Derocher’s lecture was a part of an annual lecture program that honors Paul L. Errington, who was a professor of wildlife biology at Iowa State. There was a significant number of students in attendance. “I think it’s interesting that polar bears consume mostly fat from prey and can survive off it for so long due to certain hormones and that pollutants can disrupt the functionality of these hormones,” said Erika DeSmidt, sophomore in animal ecology. DeSmidt also attended a seminar led by Derocher earlier Thursday. Haley Carr, junior in animal ecology, appreciated that Derocher didn’t identify as a polar bear advocate, but rather as a polar bear scientist who offered “scientific options for solving the issues.” Derocher’s research on polar bears spans two decades and has focused on the limiting and regulating factors of polar bear populations including habitat use, harvest effects and predator-prey relationships, according to Polar Bears International, where Derocher serves as a scientific adviser. Derocher will participate in another seminar sponsored by the NREM GSO Seminar Committee in room E164 of Lagomarcino Hall at 3:10 p.m. Friday.

Recognizing Native American culture By Tate.Trimble @iowastatedaily.com People celebrate crazy holidays from National Donut Day to National Fossil Day, however, only two U.S. states celebrate Native American Day. Every fourth Friday of September, California and South Dakota honor the culture, past and contributions of Native Americans. This year, Native American Day falls on Friday, Sept. 23. Although some people argue this is a day that should be celebrated in all 50 states, only California and South Dakota acknowledge its importance. But surprisingly, more and more states are beginning to arrange a day dedicated to Native American and other indigenous peoples in replacement of Columbus Day. Jen Coppoc, an American Indian Studies professor, said schools need to start teaching kids the hard truth of America’s past regarding Native Americans. “I’d like to see an overhaul in the K through 12 curriculum. Minnesota and Montana are examples of some states that are starting to include more accurate history of Native peoples. We need to start including

Native American history as American history. Life went on before Europeans arrived in the Americas and we need to start incorporating that in our schools’ curriculum,” Coppoc said. Most people often think of Native Americans as people of the past, but they are very much a part of today’s society. “There are around 566 federally recognized tribes in the U.S. [as of today],” said Haley Strass, a member of the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma. The Miami Tribe can be found in Miami, Oklahoma and the Indiana/Ohio area. Strass didn’t feel fully con-

nected with people of her tribe until she attended a summer camp when she was young. “My whole life I have known that I am myaamia, but really didn’t connect with myaamia people on a deeper level until fifth grade when I attended our first Eewansaapita [sunrise] summer camp where I was able to meet many more people,” Strass said. “Being myaamia is integrated into who I am as a person and is sort of the lens through which I see the world.” Strass then went on to attend Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, which is named after the Miami

Tribe. “I was able to connect with other tribal students, do research on behalf of the myaamia project, now myaamia center, and to learn more about my culture/ heritage,” Strass said. Today, as a proud member of her tribe, Strass can be seen celebrating traditions of the Miami people. “We have pow wows that are held both in Indiana and Oklahoma as a gathering and reunion of our people,” Strass said. “We also have a Winter Gathering, which includes storytelling, winter games, singing and a Stomp Dance. Other than that, we have some more informal fall/spring gatherings, we do language seminars where people can learn the language, we have game days, we do storytelling events, movie nights and much more.” Overall, Strass is happy to educate people about her heritage and hopes to see the transition from Columbus Day to Native American Day. “As far as I know, what many people call Columbus Day is being reclaimed by Native groups to raise awareness of Native culture and fight back against the misconstrued legacy of Columbus,” Strass said.

true country that I’d be willing to die for.” Mohamed Abufalgha, senior in aerospace engineering, and Mohamed Elfourtia, senior in mechanical engineering, both arrived in the United States from Libya, where each interacted with protest and violence. In March of 2011, Muam-

mar Gaddafi, the former leader of Libya, began to seize control of Libya with his army where he instructed soldiers to kill on site, Elfourita said. “People were able to push him back, but eventually his soldiers came back with order to kill,” Elfourita said. ”Eventually 40 more people

were killed in the following days, but in the next months Gaddafi retracted troops from Western Libya and was killed in October.” When asked how life in America compared to the Middle East and if they felt accepted in their communities, the trio responded with positivity.

through Iowa State range from one week to an academic year, and are not limited to traditional study abroad structures. Students can use study abroad programs to intern, participate in service learning opportunities or engage in research projects. “Regardless of a student’s major, students can find programs that will work for them,” Nelson said. L e a h B l a n k espoor, senior in event management; Peter Miller, junior in sociology; and Samantha Rosenthal, senior in supply chain management, are among the students currently abroad. Blankespoor is studying at the University of Exeter in Exeter, England, which is the university that J.K. Rowling attended and where various elements of the Harry Potter series are based off of, she said. Although she had some difficulty with layovers, lost luggage, language barriers and a lost iPhone on her journey to Exeter, she has had many great, new experiences and learning opportunities since she arrived. What does she like most about being abroad? The variety of new opportunities, including meeting new people, trying new food and seeing new sights. “My friends and I will be like, want to go see ‘Wicked’ in London in two days?’ and we will book our train right there and then,” Blankespoor said. Although she loves experiencing new things while abroad, there are certain aspects from back home she misses. “What I miss the most about home are definitely the people and my dog,” she said. Miller, who is studying in Salzburg, Austria, helped relieve this hardship by choosing to study in Salzburg, where he has a piece of home nearby. All of his relatives on his mother’s side of the family live close by, in and around Rosenheim, Germany, and he visits them often. “It’s exciting to be on my own in a new country, but it’s also nice having family I don’t see very often nearby,” Miller said. Studying abroad and being immersed in a new culture can bring surprises and unique experiences for students. “The first weekend I was in Salzburg the group of [us] American study abroad students went hiking on the Postalm Plateau,” Miller said. “During our hike we came to a chapel where a mass was being held. The chapel was so small that the service was happening outside. “There were about 150 people there, and we stopped to listen. We didn’t get to stay until the end of the mass, but it was still an amazing experience.” Later, Miller discovered that the chapel only cel-

ebrates mass once a year, and it happened to be the day they were there. Experiences like this can sometimes highlight the differences between cultures. “The Catholic church has a lot of influence on daily life in Austria — 60 percent of Austrians are Roman Catholic,” Miller said. “There are almost no stores open on Sundays, and on weekdays stores rarely stay open past 7 p.m.” One of Rosenthal’s experiences emphasized the importance of food in the French culture. She said that in France, food is a much bigger deal to people. “[French people]go grocery shopping several times a week and spend a lot more time over meals,” she said. During a class discussion in her international marketing class, they were discussing the difference in marketing strategies used by different countries when her professor used Nutella as an example. “Everyone was shocked that not everyone in the U.S. eats Nutella, and that there are even people who don’t know what [it] is,” Rosenthal said. Other cultural differences that have stood out to her include the difference in meal times and the increased number of people who smoke. Many social activities are based around drinking and smoking, she said. There is even a bar located in her school that students frequent. The difference in the drinking culture abroad is also something that Blankespoor has noticed in England as well. “The University of Exeter sells alcohol on campus, [and they] also have a pub on campus,” she said. “They view drinking very differently than Americans. “To them it is a relaxing and social activity in comparison to the raging parties in the U.S.” Another main culture difference that Miller has experienced in Austria is the importance of being environmentally friendly. “A quarter of the Salzburg city population ride bicycles to work or school, and there’s an extensive recycling system,” Miller said. “The U.S. is definitely becoming more environmentally friendly, but it seems to be a more urgent issue in Austria.” Students are able to continue their education through the study abroad programs and do not have to delay their graduation “There are a number of misconceptions about study abroad,” Nelson said. Experiencing different cultures is not the only benefit of studying abroad, however. There are well documented cognitive and affective benefits that students obtain from it as well, along with demonstrated career benefits that include increased hireability, higher starting salaries and higher acceptance into graduate schools, Nelson said.

“I was shocked when I came here, as I witnessed an open culture,” Abufalgha said. “Besides a few instances of possible discrimination I’ve had a positive experience.” Elfourita see’s a welcoming environment as the best way to assimilate a new Middle Eastern immigrant

into American life. “I feel accepted, but people coming from the Middle East are going to be going through a change,” Elfourtia said.”They are used to gunfire and being chased so give them time as they may be shy. But just say hi and you’ll see they’re great people.”

WATER p1 surveys, the team also plans on preparing a scale on which water quality can be measured. Higher levels on the scale will indicate a more natural, pristine ecological system of water quality, and lower levels will relay poor water quality. The methods they plan to use to determine such a scale are still under development. Finally, the project will reach the core of the investigation’s research; a large population survey, conducted most likely through the internet and mail services, asking people about their knowledge of water quality, and attempting to elicit how much they would be willing to pay to have quality water. “In addition we would be hoping to do some transactions in buying and selling water quality improvements,” Kling said. “The hard thing is water quality is not bought or sold in markets. That is why we are doing this research.” Although this project, “Valuing Water Quality Improvements in Midwestern Ecosystems: Spatial Variability, Validity, and Extent of the Market for Total Value,” has no direct impact on water quality, it is expected to make the process for improving water quality easier by quantifying the variables on which water-related decisions involving the economy are made. The project is set to begin on April 1, 2016, according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s website. Researchers on staff for the project include David Keiser at CARD, Jacques Finlay of the University of Minnesota, Daniel Phaneuf at the University of WisconsinMadison, Christian Vossler at the University of Tennessee and Jinhua Zhao at Michigan State University. “When this call for proposals came out and indicated that the EPA was going to be funding, I really wanted to win that award so we could do this work,” Kling said. “It is very exciting on a professional basis and on the possibility that it can really matter and be used on state and federal levels.”

Air Force ROTC members take part in the annual run from the State Capitol in Des Moines to Ames in honor of prisoners of war, POWs, and missing in action, MIA, soldiers.

ROTC runs to remember U.S. POW/MIA soldiers By Tristan.Wade @iowastatedaily.com When the United States goes to war, many American lives are lost, and those lives include the men and women fighting for our country who never came home. Air Force ROTC remembers the lost lives by running 33 miles each year from the State Capitol in Des Moines to Ames, honoring prisoners of war, POWs, and missing in action, MIA, soldiers. Cadet Dalton Doom, deputy of special projects for Detachment 250, was in charge of organizing this year’s POW/MIA run, which took place Sept. 16. This was the first year the junior cadet was able to participate in and plan the run. “If someone is killed in action, they get a memorial to remember them,” Doom said. “But if someone is a prisoner of war or missing in action, they never come home, so it’s important to remember them.” The POW/MIA run is important to raise awareness for the soldiers who still haven’t come home, which Doom believes is one of the biggest goals of the event. The cadets began the day of the run by traveling to

“It was awesome to see all the management skills I learned through ROTC in action.” DALTON DOOM Deputy of Special Projects for Detachment 250

the capitol building early in the morning before hearing a speech from Gov. Terry Branstad about the run and the remembrance of the POWs and MIAs. Once the speech wrapped up, the cadets took off. They ran 33 miles along Highway 69, carrying flags alongside police escorts and a van full of water and snacks. A few semitrucks driving by blared their horns for the runners. Doom said at one point, a passerby even gave the cadets some aid. “One lady saw us running, went to the store, and brought us some water bottles along the road,” Doom said. All of the cadets are physically fit, but the run was longer than they are used to. The cadets ran in two shifts, switching at about the halfway point, but a few ran the full length. Doom ran about 22 miles, saying it was the longest continuous run he had ever completed. One way the cadets

stayed distracted from the long and exhausting run was by singing jodies, which are chants that are sang while marching or running to remain in step and keep their mind busy. Doom said singing the jodies was one reason why he was able to finish his run. The POW/MIA run ended on the Iowa State campus. Doom said the entire experience, from planning it to participating in it, was great for him. “It was awesome to see all the management skills I learned through ROTC in action,” Doom said. At the end of the day, the POW/MIA run is an event organized by the Air Force ROTC that allows the cadets to get involved with veterans and the military community. “Having undergone that physical challenge, knowing I did it for a good cause and that I succeeded through it, was a great sense of accomplishment,” Doom said.

Iowa State defensive back Evrett Edwards makes a tackle against Iowa on Sept. 10 at Kinnick Stadium. In three games this season, Edwards has seven total tackles, with four of them being solo tackles.

A FOOTBALL

LOVE DEFERRED

Edwards’ passion lands him at Iowa State By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com Defensive back Evrett Edward’s father played college football. His uncle did, too. So it was only fitting that Edwards followed in their footsteps and played college football. The philosophy changed with Edwards because his parents strived for him to have a high education and a successful career. Even with that philosophy, it didn’t stop Edwards from finding his true love and passion: football. During his sophomore year at Woodbridge High School in Woodbridge, Virginia, he first joined the football team. His size and speed made the coach interested in Edwards as a kick returner. When he joined the team that

year, though, he didn’t tell his mother or father. When the night of his first game rolled around, Edwards was on the sidelines. His coach sent him out for the kick return. Edwards’ parents, who always showed up to watch the high school football games, were in the stands. Edwards caught the kickoff and returned it to the 50-yard line to start the game. As he was running back to the sidelines, Edwards’ cover was blown. “On the kickoff return, Evrett Edwards,” the PA announcer bellowed. Up until that point, his parents had no idea that he was even on the team. After the game, Edwards sat in the backseat of his parents’ car and was ready for a discussion about joining the football team.

Instead, the car was silent until his father turned around, looked at Edwards and said, “Good job tonight, son.” That’s when Edwards and his parents knew that the football tradition would continue in the family. “After that moment in the car, my parents were fully supportive of me playing football,” Edwards said. “They would come to every game and cheer me on and it was great to receive that love and support from the most important people in my life.” A love realized Before football became a passion or even an idea, Edwards was focused on education while traveling around the United States and abroad.

KEYS TO THE GAME ISU

SJS

Running back Mike Warren started improving his numbers last weekend against TCU. That needs to continue against San Jose State, and Warren needs to score his first touchdown of the season.

The San Jose State offense needs to take advantage of the Iowa State defense because it’s been struggling the past couple of weekends. It needs to take advantage of the big-play opportunities.

The Iowa State defense needs to stop the big plays that translate to touchdowns. The defense needs to allow the offense to stay in the game.

San Jose State needs to use the two-quarterback system to try and switch it up on the Iowa State defense.

The Iowa State offense needs to have wide receivers Allen Lazard, Hakeem Butler and Dondre Daley healthy and in for most of the snaps. Otherwise, Lazard will be double teamed for the majority of the game.

The defense needs to be aware of Iowa State’s two main players in Mike Warren and Allen Lazard. If the defense can stop them, the team has a strong possibility to win this game.

Any closer and you’d be in class.

Before the season began there were three Iowa State football games that most fans picked as locks to win — Northern Iowa, San Jose State and Kansas. The Cyclones already managed to lose the UNI game, but this weekend Iowa State will have the opportunity to play San Jose State. The Spartans come into the game 1-2. Iowa State will win this game on the back of running back Mike Warren. After a slow start to the season, and getting called out by his coach Matt Campbell after losing to Iowa, Warren finally showed signs of life at TCU last weekend. Warren rushed for 95 yards against the Horned Frogs on 23 attempts. The Spartans allow an average of 236 rushing yards. The combination of Joel Lanning and Mike Warren will prove to be too much for San Jose State’s front seven, even with Iowa State’s struggling offensive line. Warren will break 100 yards rushing for the first time this year, and the sophomore will score his first rushing touchdown of the season. Iowa State’s other star offensive weapon, Allen Lazard, is dealing with a foot injury, so his impact will be limited. But I expect him to catch a few deep, play action passes. He won’t be the weapon he usually is, but his impact will be felt. The Cyclones will need Dondre Daily, Trevor Ryen and Hakeem Butler to step up in the passing game. On the other side of the ball, San Jose State’s offensive line allows the most sacks in the FBS. Through three games, the Spartans have allowed 16 sacks. Demond Tucker and the Iowa State defensive line will have to put pressure on the San Jose State quarterback if the Cyclones expect to get a win Saturday at Jack Trice. The Iowa State cornerbacks will have to key in on wide receiver Tre Hartley, who is averaging 20.7 yards per reception on 10 catches. They’ll likely need help over the top from safety Karmari Cotton-Moya, who’s leading the Cyclones with 16 solo tackles.

San Jose State is a 1-2 team that hasn’t truly found its way yet. Having yet to start conference play in the Mountain West, the Spartans are a team that has been involved in three straight shootouts, winning only one of those games. However, they did not commit a turnover in their single win against Portland State, crushing them 66-33. So when San Jose State protects the ball, its offense can put up some points. Quarterback Kenny Potter is a serious mobile threat, as he’s second on the team in rushing with 147 yards and two touchdowns, but does not have the arm strength to drive the ball. However, he’s still extremely efficient with his passes, completing over 60 percent of his throws with five touchdowns and only two interceptions. Due to Potter’s weak arm, the Spartans need a running game for Potter to have any success throwing the ball. Luckily, they have three running backs with over 100 yards rushing on the season. A majority of those yards came in their lone blowout win against Portland State. San Jose State’s backfield rushed for 464 yards in the win. But blowout or not, gaining over 460 yards on the ground is always impressive. Defensively, the Spartans have a few standouts, including linebacker Frank Ginda. The sophomore leads the team in tackles, tackles for loss, sacks and has a fumble recovery. Outside of Ginda, cornerback Andre Chachere has two interceptions and four pass breakups. The junior also has 63 interception return yards, so Chachere knows what to do when the ball gets in his hands. In all seriousness, both of these teams are not good. They are both programs searching for their identity, and while San Jose State’s coach Roger Caragher is in year three of his campaign, his team is probably the best chance Matt Campbell has at getting his first win as a Cyclone head coach. But to do that, Iowa State will have to stop San Jose State’s rushing attack and force Potter to beat them with his arm, and I don’t think there is enough talent on that side of the ball for Campbell’s group to make that happen.

San Jose State 24, Iowa State 21 Now, normally I like to pick against my two colleagues — especially in close games. And, over the past three seasons, my strategy usually works. But this time, they’re right. There are still too many questions in my mind that surround this Iowa State team. The offensive line has struggled immensely thus far in the season. The defense has let up 83 points in the past two games. So until those problems are resolved, it’s going to be a tough time in Ames. San Jose State 21, Iowa State 17 Even though Iowa State is favored in this game, especially being at Jack Trice Stadium, I think the close game will favor San Jose State. After the last two games against TCU and Iowa, it’s hard for me to grasp the idea of Iowa State winning this weekend. Its defense needs to show it can shut down an offense before I’m convinced in choosing Iowa State as a winner in any game. It’ll be a good, close game, but San Jose State will take the lead and hold on to it for the win. Iowa State 24, San Jose State 17 Iowa State is coming into the game still looking for its first win, but its record is not a testament to the “storm that’s brewing.” Coming off three tough losses, the Cyclones will come back strong at home. The dualquarterback offense will be essential to Iowa State’s success in mixing it up on the offensive end and stopping the run game will be key for the defense. Expect the Cyclones to be bright-eyed and bushy tailed for the 11 a.m. kickoff.

San Jose State 28, Iowa State 23 I just want to preface this prediction to say that it rides on San Jose State’s quarterback Kenny Potter, who suffered a bruised leg last weekend, being healthy to play this weekend. He’s going to be key to the Spartans’ success. Iowa State has had trouble with the two speedy quarterbacks it has faced this season — Aaron Bailey and C.J. Beathard. Potter is another speedy quarterback. Although the Cyclones enter this weekend as a seven-point favorite, there are no guarantees when you’re 0-3.

MANDERFELD p5 ard some space. Rinse and repeat. Obviously, it’s not that easy. The offensive line’s woes and the quarterback instability make it tough, but it’s a basic concept for success. Last weekend, the offense tried to get younger receivers involved because there’s really no where else to go. “It’s hard [when Lazard is covered well], but that’s when you need those young guys to step up,” Lanning said. But the problem is that the young receivers haven’t really stepped up. Redshirt freshman Hakeem Butler has been banged up, and true freshman DeShaunte Jones hasn’t made much of an impact outside of garbage time. Sophomore Carson Epps has a similar story, as he hasn’t had a big impact in games yet. The only other true receiving threat, redshirt senior Dondre Daley, also has dealt with his fair share of injury issues. That makes Lazard’s impact all the more important. And to get Lazard out of double coverage and into some open space, Warren has to get the ball and make something happen. Without that, the Iowa State offense will continue to be mired in its poor offensive outputs.

two pass breakups and one quarterback hurry. In his final season in 2015, he played in all 13 games with only six total tackles. Edwards shortly realized that he wasn’t going to be used in the program as much as he hoped. After graduating in just three years from Duke, he decided that he wanted to go somewhere else. Edwards found Iowa State and Maryland to be his top two choices for a graduate program. He wanted the decision to truly be his this time, so he didn’t discuss things with anyone. Not even his parents. Finally, Edwards was driving back to Duke to take one of his last finals in his final semester. On his way home, he was sitting in traffic and decided to get off the highway and go to a gas station. He parked his car at the gas station and looked through his notes on Maryland and Iowa State. “I looked through my notes at the gas station and slept on my decision that night,” Edwards said. “Then in the morning I reviewed my notes again and called coach [Matt] Campbell to tell him I wanted to be a Cyclone.” Campbell said he was overjoyed to hear about Edwards’ commit to the school and knew he would be an essential player to Iowa State’s defense. Edwards felt the same way to the situation and couldn’t wait to build a highly rated team in Ames. After telling Campbell about his decision to come to Ames, Edwards felt a sigh of relief and went straight to the ice cream shop. He’s a simple guy and ordered

a large vanilla sundae with rainbow sprinkles and caramel. Throughout the first three games this season, Edwards has played in all of them. He’s had a total of seven tackles with four of them being solo tackles. “[Evrett] Edwards hasn’t even been here for a season yet, but he’s already shown leadership skills both on and off the field,” Campbell said. “I look forward to having him on our team for the next two years.” The highest point so far for Edwards as a Cyclone was running onto the field for the home opener against Northern Iowa. Running through the marching band and smoke and seeing the 60,000-plus fans in the stands reaffirmed Edwards’ decision to come to Iowa State. Edwards’ individual goal this season is to W.I.N., an acronym that Edwards and his uncle have used throughout his college career. It stands for “What’s Important Now.” This started in high school when Edwards received a champions poster with an autograph from hall of fame coach Lou Holtz and his uncle and only one word, W.I.N. During Edwards’ college career, he hasn’t had the poster in his room, but his uncle sends him a text every morning with those three letters to remind him of his daily goal. “Going to Iowa State has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life,” Edwards said. “This team is a family, which inspires me every day. “I’m beyond excited to be a Cyclone for the next couple years.”

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com As news broke late last week that Iowa State offensive lineman Jaypee Philbert Jr. was suspended for the Cyclones’ game against TCU, speculation took over as to who would replace him on an already thin offensive line. As it turned out, that man was walk-on Brian Seda. “I found out late in the week,” Seda said. “I was just trying to prepare myself and to help the team in anyway possible.” Seda, though, wasn’t a name that many Cyclone fans were familiar with. The 6-foot-6, 295-pound redshirt senior who hails from Traer, Iowa, was a member of the 2010 North Tama High School undefeated state championship team. After high school, however, Seda didn’t have any college offers. He contemplated playing baseball and football at Buena Vista, a Division III school in Storm Lake, Iowa, but decided against it. In-

Iowa State offensive lineman Brian Seda was thrown into the starting lineup after starter Jaypee Philbert Jr. was suspended the week before the Cyclones’ road game against TCU last weekend.

stead, he walked on at Iowa State, a school he has been a fan of his entire life. While he knew playing time was going to be limited throughout his career, it didn’t matter. Seda was all in. “I love Iowa State, I guess,” he said. “Regardless of what happened, I was going to be here until my eligibility was up.” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell noticed his love for the Cyclones almost instantly. “I don’t know if anybody loves Iowa State more than

Brian Seda,” Campbell said. “We did the Cyclone Tailgate Tour [this summer], and I think he signed up for every single one of them as a player to go. He bleeds this place.” Even though he wasn’t expecting to hear his name called to start this fall, Seda said he wasn’t surprised when it finally happened. “I wasn’t too shocked, no,” Seda said. “I’ve been around for a while, I kind of know how it works. I was just ready for my opportunity when it came.” Campbell’s decision to

EDWARDS p5 ton, Texas, and soon after moved to Las Vegas, where he stayed for seven years. Then, his family moved to the Washington, D.C., area. After a few years there, his family decided to move to Louisiana. Unfortunately, Hurricane Katrina came through and wiped out his home. Fortunately, none of Edwards’ family was down there when the hurricane came through. Edwards and his family were supposed to be down there during the time of the hurricane, but due to a late truck coming to pick up their furniture in Virginia, the family experienced Hurricane Katrina on the television instead of in person. “It was a blessing in disguise,” Edwards said. Edwards and his family never lived in Louisiana because of the hurricane and instead resided in Virginia. Edwards lived in Virginia until the end of his eighth grade year. Then, he was surprised to hear where he was going next in his traveling career. On the first day of his freshman year, Edwards’ father came into his room and told him he could skip school. That was a first for Edwards because his family always put education first. Edwards went back to sleep and spent the day at home. The morning of his second day of school started at 4 a.m., when his father woke Edwards and told him to get dressed. Edwards was confused because it was so early, so he asked why he had to get ready so early. His father answered the question firmly and told Edwards that his clothes

start Seda last Saturday wasn’t just out of necessity. Seda’s work ethic allowed him to stand out. “He goes 100 miles an hour every single day and he really worked hard, continued to get bigger and stronger in the offseason and then came in fall camp and I think we were all like, ‘Gosh, this guy’s got a chance to help us somewhere down the line,’” Campbell said. And while Campbell has been impressed with him so far, Seda wouldn’t tell you that he’s the best offensive lineman on the team. Not

even close. That’s not his focus. “For me, it’s just 100 percent effort on every play,” Seda said. “I’m not the most talented guy out there, I can be the first one to tell you that. But no one is going to play harder than me out there. “That’s my mission, on every play, to just give it everything I’ve got.” Seda likely will start again Saturday when Iowa State takes on San Jose State (1-2, 0-0 Mountain West) at 11 a.m. at Jack Trice Stadium. And while the Cyclones are favored to win the game, it’s still going to be an uphill battle. Iowa State has yet to win a game this season and has struggled offensively. The run game has yet to develop and the offensive line has struggled to give both the ground and aerial attacks time to develop. Seda just wants to put the Cyclones in the best opportunity he can to win. “We’re just every day in practice focusing on improvement,” Seda said. “As much as were focusing on SJSU, we’re focusing on ourselves at the same time and getting the things that we need fixed so we can have an opportunity to win the game and compete and play the best we can.”

Iowa State defensive back Evrett Edwards tackles the Northern Iowa running back in the team’s 25-20 loss Sept. 3 at Jack Trice Stadium. Edwards joined the Cyclones this season as a graduate transfer from Duke.

and items were packed and he was on his way to Spain. Edwards had no idea this was coming and thought it was a joke until he saw his luggage and his father going to the garage to turn the car on. His father and Edwards flew to Paris and then to Madrid. From Madrid, the two took a bus to Salamanca, Spain, which is on the border of Portugal. In Spain, Edwards went to language school for two years to advance his education and give him an opportunity to learn with collegelevel students. In his time at school, Edwards learned five different languages: English, Portuguese, Italian, French and Spanish. After his two years in Spain, he came back to Virginia for his sophomore year of high school. Once he returned to Woodbridge High School, his focus became school and football. He re-

alized his play was being noticed when he received phone calls and offers from the top schools in the country. After his sophomore year, Edwards hit the camp circuit, which allowed top schools to see him at a higher level. His first offer was from North Carolina, but with more work, he had offers from Alabama, Clemson, Duke and other top schools. “I sat down with my parents and they explained to me that football wasn’t going to last forever,” Edwards said. “They wanted me to go to a school that had a high education program like Duke.” Edwards decided to play for Duke after high school because it had a highly rated education program and it was close to home. Edwards’ mother has had rheumatoid arthritis since an early age and traveling is difficult for

her, so that became another reason why he chose Duke. Changing paths Edwards was one of the highest recruits in his class at Duke, which raised the expectation upon his arrival. He was supposed to be the starting defensive back, but to his surprise, he was redshirted his freshman year. “No freshman wants to be redshirted, but coaches have a plan for every player,” Edwards said. “I’d been running with the 1s all camp, so I was shocked.” During his redshirt freshman year, Edwards had a great summer of football, but didn’t get a starting spot in the fall. Some of the freshmen who arrived at Duke with Edwards didn’t get redshirted and became the starters. After his redshirt year in 2013, Edwards had his best season in 2014, playing in 12 games and totaling 20 tackles, one interception,

OPINION

9 EDITORIAL

Tyler Coffey/Iowa State Daily

CyRide announced that it doesn’t run routes during the weekends because it doesn’t have the necessary funding to do so.

Richard Martinez and Jen Hao Wong/Iowa State Daily

The purpose of the Iowa State Daily is to fairly and accurately cover the entire Iowa State community. The column by Angelica Lawson published Sept. 6 and letter to the editor published Sept. 16 represent the opinions of the columnist and person who wrote the letter, not of the entire news organization.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Maintaining open dialogue Opinion section exists as forum for community discourse By Emily.Barske @iowastatedaily.com Public discourse is happening and that’s one of the fundamental goals of our news organization. However, the change.org petition “CALS students should be exempt from paying fees that fund the Iowa State Daily” has changed the conversation from the discourse that was desired to another conversation altogether — that of whether students should pay for a portion of their student newspaper. This letter serves as a clarification of the situation. This issue stems from Iowa State senior Katlyn Kahler’s response to a column published Sept. 6 written by Angelica Lawson and a letter from PETA published Sept. 16. Both were featured in the opinion section of our print newspaper in the past few weeks regarding what the columnist and PETA believe to be inhumane treatment of animals through euthanasia. Kahler reached out to the Daily with a contradictory view by posting on our Facebook wall, tweeting at us and emailing accounts listed on the “Contact Us” link of our website rather than submitting her letter via our letter submission form, which is specified on our website as well as in print on the opinion page. Due to a faulty email system and thousands of notifications we receive on a weekly basis on social media, Daily staffers did not see Kahler’s communications until the petition was brought to our attention, and we’ve apologized to Kahler for these mistakes on our part in terms of communication. While we understand Kahler’s interpretation that we were limiting

her response because of having an opposing view to a Daily columnist, this is simply not true and in direct conflict with the purpose of our opinion page. Rest assured that her viewpoints, and those of any readers, are respected and invited. Once we understood how Kahler’s letter was not received, we immediately made changes to resolve the problem, got the letter online and set up a meeting to talk with her about her concerns in person. But that still doesn’t rationalize the major problem with the petition, which is a misunderstanding of the purpose of a newspaper. The opinion section is a forum for Daily opinion writers and community members to formulate a factbased stance on an issue. The goal of the opinion section is to spark public discourse by opening the dialogue about an issue. The section is not unbiased and we never claimed that it is. Because of the goal to spark public discourse, we invite people to write us letters to the editor in response to what is published in the opinion section, and we welcome all reactions that further the civil discussion. The opinion page specifically states that opinions are that of the columnist and not the entire news organization. Exposing people to new ideas and different perspectives is an essential part of freedom of speech, higher education and our democracy. As proof that we fundamentally believe this, you can see that we have published many letters contradictory to our staff’s opinion pieces, including one contradicting the very column Kahler disagreed with. The other reason newspapers exist is to provide information so community members can know what’s going on in their community. In our news coverage, we strive to be fair, complete and accurate — thus, unbiased — to give the community information they want and need to make educated decisions. Kahler stated in the petition, “we demand that the Iowa State Daily starts publishing articles

on agriculture that are factual-based and unbiased,” without referring to the fact that the Daily has published more than 20 fact-based news stories relating to CALS in this year alone. Last, and most importantly, I ask that anyone in agreement with this petition think more fully about what you are asking. Student Government’s funding of the Daily partially offsets the cost to ensure that our content on all our platforms is available for students, faculty, staff and other members of the ISU community. Eliminating this funding would mean less access to our content. While the petition signers may see this as a good thing because they are limiting people’s views to opinions contrary to their own, they fail to see the other content that they are limiting the ISU community from: coverage of entities that affect all students, such as Student Government, Board of Regents or City Council; coverage of what’s going on around campus, in the sports world, entertainment organizations and each of the colleges, including CALS; coverage of campus crime and coverage of underrepresented groups that otherwise may not have an avenue for their voice to be heard. The Daily is not perfect, and I would never claim that we are. What I will tell you is that our staff members work countless hours each week, on top of going to school and working other jobs to make ends meet, all to ensure that we are covering the ISU community to the best of our ability. My team is proud to serve the community each day and we welcome any feedback on how we can do a better job. The best way to reach us is to email me directly at emily.barske@iowastatedaily.com or stop by our newsroom at 2420 Lincoln Way, Suite 205. I implore you to understand the importance we serve in the community and continue to hold us accountable for that role. Sincerely, Emily Barske, editor-in-chief

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

How animals are really treated before harvest By Katlyn Kahler, Senior in animal science with an emphasis on swine I am deeply disappointed that a group of individuals who are associated with a land grant university with a well-respected animal science program are very misinformed about modern livestock practices. The recent columns by Angelica Lawson and Kenneth Montville targeting swine production specifically were particularly worrisome as Iowa is the top pork producing state in the country and houses some of the most notable swine researchers worldwide. I understand not everyone has an animal science background and education like I do, so I am writing to help make my fellow students more informed consumers.

The column starts by saying the pigs tattooed by Wim Doyle have a “greater purpose than being my (your) dinner.” I want to say that all of the pigs I raise and that my neighbors raise have a greater purpose, even if they aren’t art models. The pigs raised in Iowa feed the world. 33 million hogs are marketed in Iowa each year, however, the population of Iowa is only around 3 million. We have more pork than we can eat. There’s no doubt pigs raised in the United States serve a greater purpose than providing food for my plate; their greater purpose is to provide food for the plates of people who cannot raise their own pork globally. There are many other countries that cannot support their own people’s pork demands. They turn to the United States for exports because they trust that the pork our farmers raise is

safe, wholesome and raised with the upmost care. Which leads me to my second concern from the column. The term “humane meat” is used loosely in the column, however, the definition of what that means is vague. I want to say that all pig farmers have an obligation to raise their animals humanely. The size, location or type of farm does not change that obligation. There are also strict legal penalties for those who decide to not follow that obligation. Many also don’t know that pig farmers follow six key “We Care Principles” that map out how they want to run their operation to ensure their practices promote animal welfare, food safety, worker safety, environmental sustainability, protect public health and contribute to the quality of life within their communities. I encourage you

to read more about the “We Care Principles” and how pigs are actually raised in a commercial setting at www.porkcares.org. ISU students are surrounded by many experts in the swine industry and people who raise pigs back home (including myself) on campus every day. I encourage everyone to reach out to their peers with an open mind so they can become educated and informed consumers. I understand that it’s easy to make assumptions about something you are unfamiliar with. However, at Iowa State we have the resources around us to get the truth. Take advantage of it. I would bet at least one fellow student would be more than willing to open their family’s barn doors to show what goes on inside. Please feel free to reach out to me with any more questions you may have.

Students left without ride from CyRide on weekends By ISD Editorial Board CyRide celebrated its 40th anniversary two weeks ago. When it started, CyRide had only two buses, but now it has about 100 buses in service. Almost all of the members of the Iowa State family have used the CyRide buses at some point in their college career. The service has transported thousands of people around the city. Having CyRide as either a free or costefficient means of transportation has certainly eased the lives of thousands of Iowa State students. With all of the ongoing improvements, CyRide is becoming more convenient and efficient. As a result of the growing Iowa State population and limits on on-campus housing, more students are moving off campus to different areas around Ames. The transition required CyRide to make more investments to cover the rising demand, which meant adding more than 30 buses during the past 10 years. Despite the addition, some areas are still left without coverage during certain times of the week, and the significance is apparent on weekends in the southeast portion of the city. Students who live in Copper Beech and the Grove often complain about not having a bus on Saturdays and Sundays. In fact, a lot of them struggle to come to campus on the weekend, an essential period of time for students to work on homework and projects. Some of the students who live in the area have to walk for 20 minutes, crossing the golf course and Squaw Creek Park to catch the 3 Blue South bus near East Ames Hy-Vee. Others have no option but to walk to Jack Trice Stadium to catch the 23 Orange bus and do the same on the way back home. The process is frustrating, and students feel discouraged to come to campus to work on schoolwork during their free time on Saturdays and Sundays. Juana Castelli, junior in aerospace engineering and resident of Copper Beech, expressed her frustration to the Daily. “On weekends, students who don’t have cars have to figure out a way to go to campus, and it’s even worse in the winter as we can’t bike” Castelli said. “It limits my ability to move around on the weekends, and I have to spend a lot of money on Uber and such services.” CyRide, however, explained that it does not run routes on weekends because of financial difficulties. “9 Plum is a new route, and we don’t run on weekends due to finance, as we are stretching our budget to fully cover the weekdays demand,” said Sheri Kyras, director of transit at CyRide. It’s hard to blame CyRide for taking steps to stretch its budget to cover the demands of students during the busiest time of the week. Perhaps a conversation among CyRide, the students who live in the Grove and Copper Beech and Student Government needs to occur to address the concerns.

IOWA STATE ENTERS AS FAVORITES AGAINST SAN JOSE STATE

Iowa State head football coach Matt Campbell watches a replay during the team’s game against Northern Iowa on Sept. 3 at Jack Trice Stadium. The Cyclones will enter Saturday’s showdown against San Jose State as a seven-point favorite, according to Bovada on Thursday night.

By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State coach Matt Campbell’s tenure at Iowa State has gotten off to a rough start, but this weekend provides an intriguing matchup for his team to get back on track. The Cyclones are going into Saturday’s 11 a.m. showdown with San Jose State (1-2, 0-0 Mountain West) at Jack Trice Stadium as a seven-point favorite, according to Bovada on Thursday night. It entered the week as a six-point favorite. The Cyclones are not letting that get to their head. Even though this could be one of the few games where Iowa State is favored, the team maintained that when it sits winless, nothing is guaranteed. “I don’t think San Jose State is an unknown team,” Campbell said. “We have to earn the right to win football games and we have to earn the right to learn what success feels like. ... When you’re 0-3, I don’t know if you’re supposed to win anything.” It is a good thing that the Cyclones are trending upward heading into this week’s matchup. Although Campbell does not put any weight into moral victories, there were improvements that he saw during the TCU game last Saturday that included the offensive line. “We made some baby steps and it was good for us,” said quarterback Joel Lan-

ning. “I think [the offensive line] is improving. In the first week, we didn’t run the ball really at all. ... We’re growing and we’re going to get there.” San Jose State is not a slouch, however, and although the betting line does not show it, the Spartans have a potential to pull out a win. Their dual-threat quarterback Kenny Potter, who exited last weekend with a bruised leg, is expected to return this weekend.

“WE’RE GROWING AND WE’RE GOING TO GET THERE.” Potter has put up 532 yards through the air and has completed 60.6 percent, 40-for66, of his passes, which ranks in the middle among FBS quarterbacks. Iowa State has faced two dual-threat quarterbacks already this season — Iowa’s

C.J. Beathard and Northern Iowa’s Aaron Bailey — and it didn’t go over well, as Iowa State struggled to contain both offenses. Potter will provide another quarterback challenge before Iowa State heads into the meat of Big 12 play. “We don’t want him to stand back there because he’s a dangerous guy,” said defensive coordinator Jon Heacock. San Jose State allowed 10 sacks last weekend against Utah and has been sacked 16 times through the first three games of the season, which leads all of the FBS. However, the team is not going to overload the San Jose State offensive line and try to force the pressure because that will put the team at risk for the big play. “It’s a mixed bag,” Heacock said. “There’s some feast and famine there. If you get there, it’s great, but if you don’t, [Potter] is running all over the place.” Even if the weekend doesn’t go Iowa State’s way, the team is still taking steps in the right direction. Much of the hype around the team entering the season has dwindled, but Campbell said he is seeing the team making the improvements he wants. “It’s a great opportunity for growth in our program to take some of the positives from last weekend ... and apply it to be consistent,” Campbell said. “That’s something we’re missing right now is some consistency.”

Throughout soccer coach Tony Minatta’s career at Iowa State, his teams have struggled in Big 12 play. The Cyclones have compiled one win in his two years at the helm. This season, Minatta is relying on his now-healthy captains to lead the way to change the team’s recent fortunes. Koree Willer, who missed four games because of an ankle injury, is expected to make her return to the lineup Friday, when Iowa State (6-2, 0-0 Big 12) kicks off conference play against Oklahoma State (5-3-2, 0-0 Big 12) at 7 p.m. in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Madi Ott, who was held out one game for a precautionary ankle issue, also will rejoin the team Friday. Willer has been Iowa State’s leading scorer in each of the past two seasons and is atop the scoring list this season. Her contributions will improve an anemic Cyclone offense that is averaging 1.5 goals per game. Ott’s defensive prowess and technical play style will once again bolster an already impressive defense that is conceding one goal per game. Iowa State will travel farther south to Lubbock, Texas, on Sunday for a matchup against Texas Tech (7-1-2, 0-0 Big 12) at 1 p.m. “[This season] is very similar to fall 2013,” Minatta said. “We had very good senior leadership. They moved on to the next game. That’s the mentality this year. They’ve shown that through the first part of the season.” Minatta has continued to emphasize a back-to-front approach to games — a good defensive game will help improve the offense — and it has paid dividends so far. Iowa State already has matched its win total from last season. Other players are looking up to the seniors for leadership in the approaching season. The Big 12 often has teams crack the AP Top 25 list. This season is no different, with No. 1 West Virginia leading the way early on. “We just have to keep our heads up,” said freshman midfielder Hannah Cade. “We play our game, whether our opponent is No. 1 or in last.” Cade emphasized that the senior’s familiarity with the play style of the Big 12 teams adds a boost of confidence. The conference has a different style of play than the SEC, but the Cyclones have proven that they can win against a Power Five school. “We’ve beaten some ranked teams and we’ve gone winless in conference,” said redshirt freshman Kasey Opfer. “We’ve been through a lot, especially the captains. They know what it takes to be successful. They’ve done a good job of keeping us focused this season.” Minatta and the captains have been taking each game one at a time. With each player buying into the concept, the team appears more poised than ever to make a splash in conference. “You can win with talent,” Minatta said. “But when you get good leadership on the team, that’s when you really start to take off.”

5 things to watch for in Cyclone Hockey’s match By Mary.Rominger @iowastatedaily.com The rivalry that brewed last season between Cyclone Hockey and Missouri State Ice Bears will return Friday at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena. Here is what’s in store:

Previous meetings with Missouri State Around this time last year, Iowa State handily swept Missouri State in a pair of meetings that included a physical and rough style of play from both benches. “It was very chippy [last season],” said defenseman Jake Uglem, “But I don’t know what to expect for Friday.” Although the Cyclones defeated the Ice Bears 7-3 and 8-0 last season, this year’s matchup will look a lot different as the Ice Bears climbed the rankings

throughout last season and will bring a different level of adversity to their lineup. Regardless of what the Ice Bears throw at them, the heated rivalry will not bait the Cyclones into losing focus on the task at hand. “We really don’t want that,” Uglem said. “It throws us off our game and we want keep level headed.”

Differences in preparation With Iowa State holding tryouts for this year’s roster just last week, the team has barely started acclimating to the new additions on the team with just one exhibition and a few practices under its belt. At the other end of the ice arena, Missouri State has already participated in five games this season. “They’ve had four weeks of preparation,” said coach Jason Fairman. “ And we’ve had four practices, so we

have a lot to cover up to Friday.” The significant differences in what both teams have done prior to Friday will not deter the Cyclones, who are fundamentally sound and thriving with confidence. “We have a lot of veterans here and the guys know the level that we have to play every night to be good on the ice,” said senior Eero Helanto. “I wouldn’t be worried about it, obviously they have an advantage on practices, but I don’t see it as a big problem.”

Team objectives going into regular season The Cyclones have an exceptionally tough schedule this season, one that Fairman would describe as the most difficult since he has been with Cyclone Hockey — two and a half seasons. “There isn’t really a night we can take off,” Fairman said. “We play the top teams

in the country and if we get swept over the course of a weekend or sometimes even a split, it can have an impact on our national rankings.” As rankings go to the computer in October and the quest of obtaining the national championship begins, it is crucial for the Cyclones to start the season with a sweep over the Ice Bears. “Our goal as a team is to be ranked top four,” Fairman said. “Because for the national tournament, the top-four teams get a bye.”

Expectations for this season Although the title of American Collegiate Hockey Association runner-up shows why the Cyclones are on the map, it is not where the team hopes to end its success. This season, the Cyclones have high hopes and po-

tential to obtain the national championship title that slipped through their fingertips last season. Cyclone Hockey’s foundation and depth is among the best in the ACHA. “People that know our program well would say that we play a high-percentage game,” Fairman said. “We are defensively responsible and we play a very detailoriented game.”

Roster soon to be finalized The main headline of last week’s preseason exhibition against the Huntsville Havoc was rooted around tryouts. Coaches evaluated how players naturally reacted in certain game-time situations. The process of finalizing the roster will continue into this week until the coaches are comfortable with the Division I roster.

“There is no set deadline when the roster will be done,” Fairman said. “There might be a few guys that are still on the bubble that we want to get a better look at and there are some guys that might get moved up and might get moved down.”

Volleyball prepares for TCU’s 6-2 offensive system Cyclones return to Hilton after 4-match road trip

GAME INFO Game info What:

Iowa State vs. TCU

By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State volleyball will return to the friendly confines of Hilton Coliseum after a four-match road trip in which the Cyclones went 1-3. After opening Big 12 play with a four-set loss at Kansas State, Iowa State (7-5, 0-1 Big 12) will host TCU (8-3, 1-0 Big 12) on Sunday. TCU runs a unique offensive system: a 6-2. The 6-2 allows a team to always have three hitters in the front row and the setter in the back row. The Cyclones have some experience against the 6-2 this season. They beat Missouri State, which also runs a 6-2, for their only win in the four-game road trip. “You don’t see a lot of 6-2s in Division I, so I think it’s kind of nice that we saw a little of it with Missouri State,” said libero Abby Phillips. “[TCU] just has a little more variety with hitters, so being able to see that and adjust will help us a lot.” Iowa State likes to camp out on specific hitters on defense so it is easier to block, but it will not be able to do that Sunday. The Horned Frogs have four hitters with more than

Iowa State sophomore Jess Schaben spikes the ball over the outstretched arms of the defenders in the second set against Iowa on Sept. 9 at Hilton Coliseum. Iowa State won the match 3-0. The Cyclones are preparing to face their second 6-2 offensive system against TCU on Sunday.

80 kills and five hitters who are averaging more than two kills per set. “I just think it’s really important for us to stay balanced so we can read and react quick,” said middle blocker Alexis Conaway. “We’ll see if we do situational things, but if they have great hitters spread across, it just makes it really important for us to wait and just go explosively, so we can close

everywhere.” One situation the Cyclones could benefit from is to lean more toward a hitter later in the game if that player is hitting well. The problem the TCU 6-2 formation presents is the players are hard to keep track of. Coach Christy JohnsonLynch said the Horned Frogs run their 6-2 a little bit different than other teams. “They mix it up and have

their players appear in different spots,” JohnsonLynch said. “Some of their best attackers might be on the left side, then in one or two rotations, they’ll be on the right side. We will have to keep track of who is where — they’ve got a lot of offensive weapons. They don’t just rely on one or two people.” TCU is more than its potent 6-2 system. It has 16

players who are over 6-feet tall, making for a potent block. The Horned Frogs are out-blocking their opponents 93 to 54 this season. “It’s really hard against those big teams to get a clean kill,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Can we go attack that block, let the ball hit the block and go out of bounds or go off their hands and out? I think that’ll be our

challenge in asking our players to do — letting them have the green light and attack that block and see what happens.” A key part of the offensive attack for the Cyclones will be Conaway. They’ll need her to keep her hot streak going against TCU to balance the offense. Conaway had 30 kills and hit 0.403 over a three-match stretch against Marquette, Missouri State and Kansas State. If Iowa State’s middle blocker performs well offensively and hits good slide attacks, the physical TCU team won’t be able to camp out on the outside hitters. “I think she’s starting to hit her stride — she didn’t seem quite in her grove yet [at the beginning of the season], and I think she’s starting to hit that stride,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We absolutely need her on the slide moving forward.”

ISU cross-country holds back for late-season run By Kyle.Heim @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State women’s cross-country coach Andrea Grove-McDonough embraces when the team has a target on its back. She likes it when the Cyclones “have a little swag” and know they’re good and don’t shy away from it. “That drives me crazy when coaches and athletes [try to downplay how good they are],” she said. The fourth-year Iowa State coach reverts back to the team’s runner-up finish at the 2014 NCAA Championship as an example of the team not buckling under pressure, knowing how good it was and performing up to expectations. “I think we owned it in 2014 when we thought we could win,” Grove-McDonough said. “We’re like, hey, we’re capable of winning, and we knew it, and we weren’t afraid to say it.” That’s a testament

to Grove-McDonough’s coaching. Senior Maryn Lowry, who has been with GroveMcDonough all four years at Iowa State, said her coach brings a high amount of energy to the team during every practice and meet. “When I feel like I’m kind of tired [in practice], and she shows up all like, ‘I’m so pumped up for this workout,” Lowry said. “She’s really good at kind of turning my mood around in that sense. “She’s also really good at, I guess for me personally, calming me down when I get a little worked up over something. She’s good at talking me down. I’d say that’s the same for every other girl on the team, I think they’d say the same thing.” This year, however, there appears to be more questions than answers for Iowa State. Will the team’s top two runners from a season ago,

senior Perez Rotich and redshirt junior Erin Hooker, improve upon their 42-place and 151st-place performances, respectively, at the 2015 NCAA Championships? Will freshman Branna MacDougall’s high school success translate to success at the collegiate level? And how good will Bethanie Brown be after not competing in a crosscountry meet since the 2014 NCAA Championship? Grove-McDonough isn’t wondering what if everything goes wrong, which appeared to be the case last season when the team lost several of its top runners to health issues and injuries and finished 24th at nationals. “We don’t like being in the 20s, that’s not anything any of us want to get comfortable with,” she said. “I just want to move on.” The team will have a chance to do that Saturday at the Roy Griak Invitation-

al in Minneapolis. GroveMcDonough plans to race Rotich and Hooker, but will wait to send out some of her other top runners until later in the season. The Cyclones are ranked No. 17 in the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association poll that was released Tuesday, but Grove-McDonough expects the team to descend in the rankings after the meet since it will compete without MacDougall, Brown and sophomore

Anne Frisbie. “I’m trying to do what’s best for each of these women as individuals, even though it will hurt us, no question as a team, may hurt our ranking significantly when we come out of there,” Grove-McDonough said. “But those women will be ready to go, they will toe the line in November, they will toe the line at the conference meet, they will be there. We will for the first time show our full squad at Wisconsin

[on Oct. 14].” When the time finally does come to show what the team is capable of, Grove-McDonough won’t hold back. “I think we’re in good shape,” she said. “We’ve been really patient with this group, and we have a lot of training time in front of us, taking September largely as a big opportunity just to train, and in many ways, we’re really just going to be a late-October team.”

Women’s golf team keys in on par-5s, wedge play By Tyler.Julson @iowastatedaily.com In its last tournament, the Iowa State women’s golf team put together a good run at the end of the first day of competition until play was delayed for the rest of the day. The Cyclones faltered on the second day of play as the delay stopped their momentum. The team finished in a disappointing 11th place, 13-over-par, and 33 strokes from first place. “I think overall we disappointed, just with the completion of the second round,” said coach Christie Martens. “We finished with too many bogeys and that led to a bad start to our third round. “We did eventually bring it around in our third round and finished well. So we did come away with positives as well some negatives.” The team finished in a tie for 12th place in par-5 scoring average, which has had the Cyclones focusing

on their par-5 play the past two weeks in preparation for the Schooner Fall Classic in Norman, Oklahoma, on Friday. The Cyclones have especially been working on their short-wedge game and putting to help improve their par-5 average. Freshman Amelia Grohn said practice has been shifted around since the last tournament. “We’ve definitely been working a lot on our wedges,” Grohn said. “Like coach said, our par-5 scoring average isn’t that great, and I think if we can keep working at getting our wedges closer, we can definitely start taking advantage of the par-5s.” Iowa State’s scoring average is about a half stroke higher than it wants it to be, so the team’s goal for the Schooner Classic is to finish with a par-5 average under par. In terms of goal setting for each tournament, the team rarely sets specific goals other than to go out and be better than it was

the day before. As an individual, however, Chayanit Wangmahaporn sets and achieves many of her goals each tournament. “I don’t make any specific goals for myself right away,” Wangmahaporn said. “I just go there and set a goal for every shot. If I make it or get close to making it, I will be happy

and the end result will be good.” Another big change from the last tournament to the Schooner Fall Classic is the strength of the field of teams. The Cyclones competed against seven teams ranked higher than them at the Dick McGuire Invitational. The Schooner Classic will feature only three

teams ranked ahead of the Cyclones. The overall rank of the other teams, however, will have little to no effect on how Iowa State will play. “I believe that whether you’re going up against a lesser team or a better team, our mindset will be the same,” Grohn said. “We just have to go out, play our game, and do the best
