A strike to the final season
HANNAH OLSON/ IOWA STATE DAILY The Iowa State baseball program heard halfway through its 2001 season that the sport would be cut from the athletic department. Ever since 2001, there’s been a club baseball team and a hope that baseball will come back as a Division I sport.
BY GARRETT.KROEGER @iowastatedaily.com BRIAN.MOZEY@iowastatedaily.com Head coach Lyle Smith was relaxing at home after the Iowa State baseball team just claimed a crucial series win over the Oklahoma State.
Smith was watching the Sunday night news, until his phone started going off. Ring. Ring. Ring. He got off his chair and walked over to his landline to pick it up. The news he received from that call would, at first, be confusing but at the same time, change Smith’s life on a dime. “I got a call from a columnist from the Ames Tribune,” Smith said. “He started with the line of questioning of ‘How do you feel about (Iowa State) dropping the (baseball) program?’” Smith really had nothing to say to the Ames Tribune columnist. He was scratching his head wondering why the writer was asking about Iowa State dropping the baseball program. That is, until
he received another call a few minutes after he finished up with the reporter. “I received a call from the athletic director that he wanted a meeting with me the next morning to talk about the budget,” Smith said. “He didn’t say anything at that moment. But you can put two and two together and this is not going to be good. So really, I learned of the situation from a sports columnist.” On April 2, 2001, then-Iowa State athletic director Bruce Van De Velde announced that the university would no longer have a baseball program after the 2001 season. The announcement from Van De Velde came a day before the Cyclones were set to take on in-state rival Iowa at home at the midway point of the season. The Iowa State baseball program began in 1892, and it produced major league players like Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Mike Busch and Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Don Wengert. In 109 years, the program held a record of 1,346 wins, 1,412 loses and 17 ties. No other program at
the time who made the Big 12 tournament that year had played more seasons. The decision to cut baseball was a shock to everyone on the team. During that season, players heard rumblings that Iowa State may cut men’s swimming and diving – which it did – but they never thought the university would get rid of America’s pastime. “It was a blow,” said then-senior infielder Rob Conway. “We were blindsided.” Don Green, who played in 1988 and 1989, remembers reading an article in the Des Moines Register about the program getting cut. He dropped the paper and picked it up to read it again. He couldn’t believe what he was reading. Afterwards, there were countless emails sent back and forth between teammates. The next focus was on how to get the program back for the future. “We all supported the 2001 baseball team and we’re shocked by the news,” Green said. “It’s

CLUBS
It’s more than just good earth
ZACH STREUBER/ IOWA STATE DAILY A group of work-for-share Community Supported Agriculture members harvest greens. Most of the 50 CSA members pay for their shares.
ZACH STREUBER/ IOWA STATE DAILY Founded in 1997, the club was originally established with the name Heenah Mahyah, meaning “Mother Earth” in the Ioway Native American dialect.
ZACH STREUBER/ IOWA STATE DAILY The student farm is considered organic, but not offically “certified organic” due to conditions required by federal guidelines.
Hunched along rows of produce, 11 people moved fast to pluck the ripe vegetables nestled within the green leaves. They wiped the sweat from their brows and continued forward under the increasingly hot sun.
The fact that this was a Sunday morning did not faze them. Weekend or not, produce would have to be harvested. The small plot is maintained by Iowa State students and staff, who grow over 28 kinds of vegetables that are produced on the two-acre field given the season, with many varieties of each kind. Despite being located at the Horticulture Research Station, which is home to over 90 research projects, the small farm is not a research project itself. It is the only student organization on the research station, and is set up as a Community Supported Agriculture program (CSA). Founded in 1997, the club was originally established with the name Heenah Mahyah — a term that means “Mother Earth” in the Ioway Native American dialect. Since then, the club has changed its name to the Good Earth Student Farm. As a CSA, the club can sell their produce to individuals who want the benefit of eating fresh, organic food. People can either work for a certain share, or pay a fee for the produce that is delivered weekly. Fifty members are involved in the farm, most of them opting to utilize the pay-for-share program. Six students act as officers within the club, managing the land and everything relating to the business side of the CSA. Due to special advantages that the Horticulture Research Station provides, the CSA is open only to Iowa State University staff, students and spouses of staff members. “We mostly operate as a business right now,” said Rachel Tan, the club’s farm manager. The small number of members of the CSA creates certain challenges for those within the club. Less people means that it is harder to share the workload, which are considered full time positions by many standards. Tan is the only member who works full time, but she can only work full time in the summer. “It’s really difficult to have that many people and time invested in [students] when no one else is getting paid, it’s all just volunteer,” she said. The organization itself is strictly not-forprofit, only taking enough money to pay for
the costs of the farm. “It’s a lot of work, people don’t really realize how much work it really is,” Tan said. The Good Earth club is advised by two faculty members, Mary Wiedenhoeft and Ajay Nair, but they mainly let the students run the farm themselves. “It’s more than just gardening in your backyard, it’s you have to have a product, you have to have customer relations, you have to be able to explain what you did so there’s a lot more of management of the system,” said Wiedenhoeft. “It’s a balancing of how much produce you need, how much the resources of labor are and then what does the soil or the land need.” Their hard work has been paying off. The CSA has always had enough members to do the work and it almost always breaks even. “It’s rewarding. I think that everyone really enjoys the produce, and I enjoy giving it to them,” Tan said. While the student farm is considered organic, it is not officially “certified organic” due to the conditions required by federal guidelines. “We would definitely be interested in doing it,” Tan said. “It’s just that logistically, it’s a lot of paperwork and when you are a student run organization whose members change on a yearly basis, it’s really difficult to maintain that type of paperwork.” Even so, the student farm still attempts to be as organic as possible. “We definitely spray only when we absolutely have to and we would only pick certified organic pesticides and herbicides,” Tan said. “From an outside perspective we think why can’t everybody just go organic, or why can’t we just not spray. People think it’s not that hard, but it is. Logistically, you only have so much labor, and you want to produce the best and sometimes your produce doesn’t come out very pretty.” The sheer variety of natural resources that are available to the student farm allows for them to utilize it to do the work for them. Research projects being conducted on the Horticulture Research Station can help out with pest control on the farm, such as the wasp hives that would eliminate the farm’s caterpillar problems or the tree swallows that would help keep the rest of the bug population down. The whole environment motivates the students to be more creative in their solutions. “It just takes a different management style,” Tan said. “You just have to be smart. Smarter than the bugs.”

Town hall September 27 • 3-6:30 pm revamped, signing day focused theme event
218 Welch Avenue 515.203.2008 UnionOnLincolnWay.com
Join us and build your own Es Tas Taco while you sign a lease! JILL ALT/ IOWA STATE DAILY Chairs sit empty at a student government town hall event. Attendance at town halls has been very low to start the year.
BY ALEX.CONNOR @iowastatedaily.com In an attempt to successfully fulfill a campaign promise made by President Cody West and Vice President Cody Smith, Student Government will be revamping its town-hall style in an effort to get more students involved.
Instead of two hours of just open forum, the town halls will now involve the discussion of an overarching topic relevant to campus and students through a panel with Student Government officials. “It’s been brought to our attention pretty clearly that the town hall program as it exists now, doesn’t necessarily work,” Smith said. While Student Government has only held one town hall this academic year, its turnout only yielded about two students. The first and only town hall held by West and Smith last spring, resulted in a turnout of just about 10 students. Hence, Smith began looking for a solution to the lagging student engagement in the town halls. One of the issues, he discovered, was the way in which the town hall was set up. “I think that it’s not necessarily that students don’t want to be engaged, I think that our town halls are set up in a way like ‘come to us now and tell us what we can do for you,’” Smith said. “Well, students don’t necessarily know what we do and it’s our job to let them know what we do.” So, Smith and his team took a step back and looked to outside resources to see what should be changed about the town hall and what should remain the same.
“When I was looking at how it’s worked and how it hasn’t worked... once we can get students in the room and talking to us, then we’re able to provide actual solutions,” Smith said. The Student Government town halls originated under then-President Cole Staudt, who instead of holding his annual address, held a question-and-answer session for students. The overarching message is the same, however, to be an opportunity for students to voice what they feel campus can be improved on or other issues they may be facing. The theme for the upcoming town hall, which will take place tonight from 5:10 to 7 p.m. in Marston 2155, is “Let’s Talk about Campus Climate.” The panel will consist of Student Government directors and will be moderated by West and Smith. Topics to be discussed include mental health and sexual assault prevention. “Moving forward from this one... October will be about tuition and affordability as a whole,” Smith said. “Because that’s when we’ll find out about the university’s plan... to the regents.” As for whether or not the upcoming town hall will be successful, Smith said he is hoping for more turnout and will continue to push for civic engagement. “I’m not going to give up,” Smith said. “I’m going to keep moving things around until we get something that’s useful.”

‘Persevere and stand by our principles’ A statement on the white supremacist posters MARTINO HARMON Senior vice president of student affairs
With the recent placement of white supremacists themed posters and stickers, I felt it was important for me to issue a statement to Iowa State students and the general campus community. First, I want to state clearly that I am aware that these posters represent hate speech and hate speech is protected by the U.S. Constitution. The cowardly manner in which these items were placed—in the dark of night—violates policy. Based on statements made by the Iowa State and Ames police departments, the methods used by these vandals could result in charges of criminal mischief.
As a member of the Iowa State community, I want to use my freedom to express my thoughts about this form of hate speech. The posters and stickers are promoting websites with information not consistent with what we stand for as an institution. These racists intend to evoke fear, separatism and hatred. We will not succumb to their fear mongering. We know that hatefilled messages have no place here. If we persevere and stand by our principles, they will retreat knowing their cowardice and tactics had no impact on this university. Please contact the Iowa State police if you feel unsafe, see racist propaganda and vandalism on campus, or if you have information about individuals vandalizing university property. You can also report any incidents to the Campus Climate website: campusclimate.iastate.edu. I encourage members of our community to stay focused on making Iowa State a better community for all. Do not let these hate-mongers affect you. They win if they disrupt our daily lives and how we treat each other. We must focus on promoting the Iowa State Principles of Community. We will not be distracted or deterred by this small hate-filled group.
COURTESY OF KATHLEEN HARRISON Martino Harmon, senior vice president of student affairs, expresses how the hate filled messages of the white supremacist posters have no place at Iowa State and are not consistent with what our institution stands for.
EDITORIAL
First Amendment under attack on college campuses Public universities hold the roots of movements and discourse across the nation. Yet, throughout the years and especially today, there are significant attacks on the First Amendment on our campuses. Recently, the University of Ohio enacted a policy banning demonstrations, sit-ins and speeches inside buildings on its campus, according to the student newspaper, The Post. We wholeheartedly agree with The Post Editorial Board that this is a limitation of free speech. It is one thing to define rules of expression more clearly, such as keeping volumes at a reasonable level so as not to disrupt classes, but it is entirely different when a complete ban is placed on expression. Many demonstrations on both Ohio University’s and Iowa State’s campuses have been a significant way that students have expressed their opinions — including a march to Beardshear after the 2016 presidential election. Whether or not we agree with the purpose or style of a demonstration, it should be no barrier to the rights we are granted in the First Amendment to peacefully protest. It is important that campus administrators recognize the importance of maintaining the First Amendment in its entirety, even when views expressed do not reflect the campus at large. In December, the editorial board wrote that while we strongly disagree with the rhetoric of Milo Yiannopoulos, we felt Iowa State may have been using security fees to limit speech. “While it is the opinion of this editorial board that Yiannopoulos’ poisonous rhetoric and hate-filled views dilutes public discourse to the point of deterioration, it is his right to say it,” the editorial board wrote. “That said, just because one has the right to say something does not give it value when it comes to civil discussion.” “If it was the intent of the university to cancel Yiannopoulos’ event through unreasonable security hikes, then that constitutes a direct violation of First Amendment rights. Any alternative,
however, seems more like bureaucratic error or a legitimate security concern.” At the time, there was little discussion about this from the campus at large. Some could speculate this is because Iowa State’s campus is majority liberal-leaning and did not want to fight for a far-right speaker. Imagine the uproar if a far-left speaker hadn’t been allowed to speak on campus. Either way, a public discussion about when and in which ways the university can restrict speech is due. There seems to be a misconception that you can’t protect radical speech while still trying to create an inclusive campus. Free expression and a welcoming environment don’t have to be mutually exclusive. The solution, while by no means easy, can be simplified to attacking ideas rather than people. If we were able to disagree with each other while still being able to listen to where opposing views come from, it would be much easier to have civil discourse. The beauty of the First Amendment is that you can both allow controversial rhetoric and speak up against it. If one person says something hateful, one hundred people can say they disagree and add something empowering. It’s not a limitation of free expression for university officials to speak up against divisiveness when they are not placing any restrictions on such expression. We applaud Senior VP for Student Affairs Martino Harmon for speaking up against white nationalist posters while recognizing that free speech protects the expression of the views in the posters (though defacing property is against policy). There are those that argue that such hateful speech should be restricted, but that’s actually quite dangerous. If you give the government and its entities the authority to restrict some speech — no matter how much we blatantly disagree with it — where do we draw the line? The government would then be allowed to restrict speech of marginalized groups that are
speaking up to voice their concerns. All of us, no matter where our beliefs fall, have a need for the First Amendment and should fight for it. Often conversations needed for progress are not comfortable ones and if the government had the opportunity to limit some of those discussions, history tells us that they would.

SAILING
BY DYLAN.COON @iowastatedaily.com Besides the sea of corn fields, Iowa isn’t known for it’s nautical significance. That’s why it may come as a surprise that the Iowa State Sailing Club won the 2017 Big 12 Championship on Sept. 17.
The sailing club was on the verge of being discontinued just a year ago with diminishing numbers and a lack of adequate funding for the club, but now the sailing club is at its peak in Cyclone history. A dynamic duo of experienced sailor Gus Nagro, and ROTC member Thomas Peterson are leading the way for Iowa State’s sailing club. The two come from the same high school just outside of Chicago. When they joined, only nine members were in the sailing club. Now the number is reaching the 40s. The club itself is both competitive and recreational. The regattas are the competitive aspect, but the club often has day trips of recreational sailing at Saylorville, Ada Hayden and Big Creek. Experience is not a requirement upon joining the club, but will be quickly obtained through the teaching of the more practiced sailors. Iowa State’s sailing club is currently without a coach, something that more established sailing programs have. However, that hasn’t hindered Iowa State’s recent success. Nagro, the commodore of the club, regularly will ask other clubs for guidance. Going into the Big 12 Championship, Iowa State came in confident coming off of successful regattas. This was their first time meeting a lot of the conference schools, especially the ones in the south. The very first race, Nagro and Peterson’s boat got off to a fast start, and won the first race by a sizable margin, setting the tone for the next 21 races in the regatta.

Sailing Club sinks the opposition
Nagro and Peterson’s boat would go on to place first in 18 of the 22 races, and placing in the top-three every race. The two gave credit to each other, and stressed how important teamwork was for their success. The regattas feel both like a competition and a mini vacation for the club members. The atmosphere at the regattas is very enjoyable, often having live music, or other forms of entertainment, and of course conversing with other sailing clubs. “At the end of the day, we’re all there for a love of sailing,” Nagro said. “And that makes it a lot of fun for everyone there.” Iowa State isn’t as well established as a lot of the other regional sailing clubs like the University of Iowa, Northwestern and Wisconsin. Iowa State’s sailing club isn’t funded like the other schools listed. Vice Commodore Peterson, talked about the well established programs. “If you look at Madison [Wisconsin], they have brand new sailboats and a dedicated coaching staff,” Peterson said. The club itself is growing at a phenomenal rate, and is the most successful that the club has ever been. The rise to prominence is thanks mostly to a handful of experienced sailors, like Nagro and Peterson, that have been recruiting more students to join the club. They hope that the increase in numbers will then translate into an increase in funding. Usually the first question that comes to mind when thinking about a sailing club at Iowa State is: where do they practice? The only bodies of water on campus are College Creek and Lake LaVerne. “If you come out at a full moon on midnight,” Nagro said. “And only then will you be able to cut through the fog and see us practicing out there with the swans.” On a serious note, the ‘Lake LaVerne Yacht Club’, hopes to continue their upstart success at the Davis Cup hosted by their rival club, the University of Iowa, on Oct. 13.

September is National Apple Month, and with 2,500 varieties of apples grown in the United States alone and 11 varieties grown and sold commercially, it’s time to learn about what sets one apple apart from another, or what makes one stand out from all the rest.
1 Best for baking
Golden Delicious — according to the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs pamphlet “Apple Varieties Grown in Iowa, 1800-1970," Golden Delicious apples are firm apples that are sweet enough or baking and best for adding into apple pies. Sweet not your thing? According to the Farmer’s Almanac, Granny Smith apples are also good for pies, but are more on the tart side.
2 Choice for cider Winesap — the winelike, sweet and sour flavor of Winesap apples make them one of the almanac’s top choices for apple ciders. Winesap apples are crisp and incredibly juicy apples, and get their name from their spiced winelike flavor. Winesap apples are also firm and hold their shape when baked, which also makes them good candidates for apple dumplings.

3 Best for applesauce Braeburn — firm to the touch and red/orange in color, Braeburn apples were the first of bi-colored apple varieties, and are some of the better apples for making applesauce. Braeburns are on the market from October through April, so these are good for making homemade applesauce on a cool fall night.
4 Strictly for snacking Fuji — Fuji apples are on the sweeter, juicier end of the spectrum, and are also a little crunchier. Gala, Red Delicious and Ambrosia apples also fall under the sweet variety for snacking. Again, if sweet apples aren’t your favorite, Granny Smith and Gravenstein apples are good for snacking, as Gravenstein apples do not hold as well, and do better to be eaten immediately.

What you missed from last week in music BY PARKER.REED @iowastatedaily.com
WHAT’S NEW? Albums “Wonderful Wonderful” - The Killers
Brandon Flowers comes out swinging right away on The Killers’ fifth LP. “I know the score like the back of my hand. Them other boys, I don’t give a damn,” Flowers sings during swagger-induced lead-single “The Man.” In a way, “The Man” is somewhat misleading as a lead single, as it suggests a more modern Killers. Yet, the rest of “Wonderful Wonderful” is widely varied, with a continuing influence from U2 and their vast soundscapes. Sophomore single “Run For Cover” would act as a better representation of the album as a whole, but this just proves that there are a lot of fun moments on the newest effort from The Killers. “Gemini” - Macklemore
So yeah, this came out apparently. Fun fact: this is
Macklemore’s first truly solo LP since 2005, as 2012’s “The Heist” and 2016’s “This Unruly Mess I’ve Made” were both collaborative efforts with Ryan Lewis. But don’t be mistaken, Lewis can still be heard all over “Gemini,” but as can a variety of other influences. However, no singles are as instantly satisfying as “Can’t Hold Us” or “Thrift Shop,” and the instrumentals here aren’t significantly more varied. The verdict: it’s alright. If you already like Macklemore, you’ll enjoy this. Singles “One Foot” - Walk the Moon
The best way to describe this new Walk the Moon single is to recall the career path of Maroon 5. Once a pop-alternative act that actually incorporated all elements of a full band, once they got enough exposure to the mainstream with multiple hit-singles, they went further and further into the pure-pop realm, with less-and-less organic elements.
After Walk the Moon’s gargantuan single “Shut Up and Dance,” it’s clear that they will be moving in a similar direction. “One Foot” features elements of EDM with programmed beats and a similar “drop” moment. It’s very catchy and will get played on the radio a lot, but I can’t help but feel like this is the beginning of a band losing their identity. “Never Steady” - John June Year
After releasing a slightly bland lead-single “Back Me Up,” Iowa’s own John June Year returns with a satisfyingly brief, yet expansive followup single. “Never Steady” is much more relaxed, and much less try-hard than the preceding single, and it works in it’s favor. While the track is barely over two minutes, it doesn’t feel compromised in any way and actually features a very tight, focused track that is heavy on vibes.

not just a hurdle, it’s a mountain [to get the program back].” Unfortunately, due to a $1.4 million budget shortfall, being the northernmost school in predominantly southern baseball conference and a lack of competitiveness in the Big 12, there was no choice but to cut the program. Looking back on the program, there are certainly mixed feelings on what could have been done to prevent it from ending. Brad Kaufman, a pitcher for Iowa State from 1991-93, had heard about the cut from different family members and previous players. The thing that shocked him the most was there were no opportunities to raise the money and continue the program. Kaufman recalls the baseball program being put on the chopping block, but the players took time to ask for donations and hold fundraisers to keep the program. About five years later, the same situation happened and they raised enough money again. In 2001, there was no chance to raise money. It was gone. “[Coach] Bob Randall saved this program twice,” Kaufman said. “If any player said they weren’t sad or shocked from the decision to cut the baseball program, they’d be lying. It was a sad day for everyone.” “This kind of bugged some of the guys on the team,” Conway said. “[The athletics department] flew the band out to the bowl game which we were told cost as much as our one year budget. So that kind of rubbed some guys on the team raw. But that was the first time (the football team) had been to bowl in a long time. But it was the Insight.com Bowl. It was not a major bowl.” Knowing that the program was to be cut, players used that as motivation to make it the best season possible. That showed as the year went on. Iowa State then claimed a series win over then-No. 1 Nebraska. Thanks to that series win, the Cyclones qualified for the Big 12 Tournament. And their first tournament game on Thursday, May 12, 2001, is the perfect example of them persevering to continue playing the game they loved. It was the bottom of the ninth, Iowa State had runners on second and third base, and Baylor was up 5-4. Conway was up to bat. Thousands of fans were on their feet screaming and stomping for Iowa State to win this game. If the Cyclones won, that meant the program continued for one more day. Conway hit a sharp ball to Baylor’s second baseman and the ball skipped off his glove and into right field. Pinch runner Beau Hampton was waved home. His head first slide would beat the throw, and the Cyclones won 6-5. Fans erupted in elation that Iowa State was able to prolong its season. That was the last time the baseball program would hear the sound of winning cheers. “They thumped us pretty good,” Smith
said. “Teams like Oklahoma State want to get you back. They want to beat you the next time around. It wasn’t as competitive as you would’ve liked for the last game to be.” The Cyclones took on the Cowboys in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament. The end result was Oklahoma State manhandling Iowa State, 17-4. Kaufman remembered the last game not because of the loss, but because of the character surrounding this baseball team. The majority of former Iowa State players came back with their families to witness the last game. After the game, there were many tears shed, but a lot of smiles on faces. Tears were shed due to the significance of the game, but smiles were formed because of the actions after the game. “All of the players, after the game, came onto the field and stayed on the field for quite a bit of time,” Kaufman said. “I remember playing catch with my oldest son and that memory will always be ingrained in my head.” The main thing that Kaufman hates about the program being cut is that future generations can’t continue to follow the same footsteps. “I have a 17-year old son that’s a pitcher and enjoys the game of baseball,” Kaufman said. “You always think that it would be amazing to have your son follow your footsteps and play baseball collegiately. Now, he won’t be able to play at Iowa State and will have to play at a different school.” After walking off the field, there was a sense of ‘wow, it is really over’ in the minds of the players and coaches. “It was really somber. It felt like a funeral,” Conway said. “Afterward, it was pretty bad. Most guys, especially their senior year, probably get emotional when they play their last college game because they are not going to play afterwards. But it was bigger than that. From freshman to seniors, it was the end of it. That was it.” “That is probably the last time I had a really good cry outside of losing my dog a couple years ago. I have four kids and I’m married, but there was no shame in the emotional release that almost everyone had. We just hung out in the dugout for quite a long time to let our emotions out.” On Monday, April 2, 2001, Smith met with Van De Velde at 8:30 a.m. sharp. The entire meeting was Smith listening to Van De Velde explain why there would be no more Division I Iowa State Cyclones baseball. After the meeting with Van De Velde, Smith had to wait a couple hours before he saw his team at 1:30 p.m. for their regulatory meeting. He waited outside of the meeting room. He waited for every player and other coaches to be seated. He pondered on how he would deliver the news. After giving himself 5-10 minutes to gather his thoughts, he took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in. Smith presented the information and the room went silent.
HANNAH OLSON/ IOWA STATE DAILY At the end of the 2001 season, the entire coaching staff signed the last Division I Iowa State Cyclones baseball. Baseball is now only played at Iowa State on a club team.
