Iowa City Police find body in car linked to missing student By ISD staff A body was found in a car late Friday night connected to a missing ISU international student Tong Shao. Shao, 20-year-old junior in chemical engineering, was last heard from on Sept. 8 when she was in Iowa City visiting a friend before she was expected to travel

to Minnesota for the weekend. On Friday, Ames Police said Tong had access to a Toyota Camry that was still believed to be in the Iowa City area. Later that evening, the car was located in Iowa City parked near apartment complex 44 of Dolphin Lake Point Enclave after an odor was reported coming from the car. Upon searching the car, Iowa

City Police discovered a body in the trunk of the vehicle. Marcus Nashelsky, Johnson County medical examiner, began an autopsy early Saturday on the body. Official results will not be released for four to six weeks due to processing the information, said Medical Examiner Investigator Clayton Schuneman. In a press release, the Iowa

City Police Department said the death is being investigated as a homicide. The Iowa City Police Department said Shao’s boyfriend is now the main person of interest in the case. Geoff Huff, investigations commander for the Ames Police Department, confirmed a text message to Shao’s roommates in Ames was sent Sept. 8 from

Shao’s boyfriend’s phone. The message said that Shao was messaging from his phone in Iowa City and her phone was broken. That was the last contact anyone had with Shao. Iowa City Police said they have reason to believe Shao’s boyfriend is now in China, but they are working on making contact with him.

Silence A voiceless classroom demonstrates ASL, Deaf culture for ISU students By Dakota.Carpenter @iowastatedaily.com In a silent classroom, Michael Ballard communicates with his hands, facial expressions and exaggerated gestures. His students are sitting in a circle and they are able to hear but are asked not to speak. Ballard is completely deaf. He is immersing his class of hearing students in the Deaf culture by using American Sign Language. “I always say dream big or go home, and if I can’t dream big here then I’m not sure exactly what I’d be doing here,” Ballard said via translator. Ballard is beginning his first year at Iowa State and is the only deaf faculty member on campus. He transferred to Iowa State because he saw the potential for the program to grow. “There’s no growth in comfort, but there’s also no comfort in growth,” Ballard signed.

ASL will be an approved minor by the end of this academic year due to the help and persistence from faculty and students, Ballard said. Ballard, who is one of two ASL lecturers at Iowa State, said he believes that getting the minor declared would not have been possible without the help of the students. “This was very much a student-led development,” Ballard signed. “The students really have worked some magic. It’s what they wanted and what they will definitely be able to benefit from.” Julia Takemura, senior in integrated studio arts, is in Ballard’s introductory class. Julia said she thought that it was a great idea to have ASL certified as a minor. “I think that’s fantastic,” Takemura said. “More people should be exposed to [ASL].” Ballard said that there

Celebration for Dinkey Day brings crowds to Welch By Patrick.Budding @iowastatedaily.com Campustown’s Dinkey Day celebration drew hundreds of ISU students and Ames residents Friday. The event began at 5 p.m. with a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Ames Historical Society’s new educational trailer. Alex Fejfar, project coordinator for the Ames Historical Society, said that the Dinkey used to be the train that shuttled students the two mile distance between campus and the town of Ames from 1891 to 1907. Fejfar and the Ames Historical Society were excited to debut the trailer at this event. “It made sense,” Fejfar said. “Dinkey was the first mode of mass transit in Ames, so we’ll use this event to showcase the first mass transit of Ames’ history.” At 5:15 p.m. the first band began to play. Spectators stood at the front of the stage or sat in several groups of four or five chairs that had been placed out by the Campustown Action Association. The live music attracted more than 200 people to watch the three-band set. Jean-Pierre Taoutel, senior lecturer of French and resident of the Campustown area, said he attended the event specifically to see the Ames community turnout. “You see a different kind of crowd, not just students. It brings people of all ages,” Taoutel said. “It doesn’t happen so often in Campustown. They should do more of this.” The face painting station drew some of the most attention from the families with children. The inflatables and the mechanical bull were also popular

throughout the night. Anyone who took a free root beer from the soda fountain also got a free commemorative “Ames 150” neon-green cups. The crowds were beneficial for any of the student organizations that were present, students said. Jessica Taylor, junior in political science, is the fundraising chair for Hopeful Africa, an organization that raises money for seven different schools in Kenya. Taylor said that she was happy to be representing her organization at the Dinkey Day celebration because of access to a new market.

“It made sense. Dinkey was the first mode of mass transit in Ames, so we’ll use this event to showcase the first mass transit of Ames’ history.” -Alex Fejfar, project coordinator “There’s a lot of families here,” Taylor said, “and there are no families on campus.” The Campustown Action Association had goals of hosting an event that would bring students into Campustown while also gaining attention from the Ames community as a whole. Kim Hanna, director of the Ames Campustown Action Association, said she felt that many of the event goals were met. Even early in the night, Hanna felt that there was potential for a great turnout, she said. “We love seeing all the families and students,” Hanna said. “It’s really just a beautiful day for an outdoor event.”

NEWS Senate debate follows new polls 3

Monday, Sept. 29, 2014

By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Less than 24 hours after a new Des Moines Register poll showed Republicans picking up a six-point lead in Iowa’s U.S. Senate race, the candidates gathered just 36 days before the election to debate issues on their platforms. The debate was hosted by KCCI and the Des Moines Register and took place at Simpson College in Indianola. U.S. Rep Bruce Braley, a Democrat who is vacating his House seat in Iowa’s first congressional district, debated state Sen. Joni Ernst, a Republican from Red Oak. The Senate seat is being vacated Sen. Tom Harkin, who has decided to retire after five terms in Congress. The hour-long debate focused on a wide range of issues, starting with Social Security. Braley asked Ernst about her support for mak-

ing Social Security a private program. Ernst responded saying that the program needs reforms, but that she would “protect social security” in the future. On the issue of foreign policy and terrorism, both candidates agreed that ISIS is the greatest threat to America, and something should be done to combat the Islamic terrorists. One issue of the discussion that relates directly to college students was the importance of the Department of Education and how it pertains to pell grants and student loans. Both candidates take different positions; and a student at Simpson College was able to ask Ernst a question about her position. Ernst responded by offering ways to keep the programs without the Department of Education. “It doesn’t do anything to those who receive pell grants and student loans,” Ernst said. “Those are programs that are very necessary for our college stu-

dents, but they can easily be housed in the Department of Treasury.” Ernst added that employees at the Department of Education have been deemed “non-essential,” and she believes that education should have more control from states. Another issue that may affect college students is an increase in the minimum wage. Braley detailed his dislike for Ernst’s plan to eliminate the federal minimum wage. “I can say with absolute clarity that the most important job for Iowa’s next Senator is to fight for Iowa’s working class,” Braley said. “If 300,000 Iowan’s would get a pay raise by simply increasing the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour, that tells me that a lot of Iowan’s are missing out.” Other issues discussed in the debate included the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, changes to the tax code, immigration, abortion, tort reform, climate

change, deficit spending and regulations. Kelly Winfrey, lecturer for the Catt Center for Women and Politics, spoke about the candidates’ highs and lows during the debate, saying that at times Braley articulated his position more clearly while Ernst held a position that was more broad. On immigration, she said Braley clearly supported the bi-partisan Senate immigration bill passed last summer, while Ernst answered broadly, saying “I don’t support amnesty”,but didn’t lay out a specific policy proposals. Winfrey said Braley clearly had the edge on the topic of climate change. Ernst claimed that the Earth’s climate is changing, but would not admit that humans are directly the cause. One of the most heated moments of the debate came towards the end, she claimed. Braley aligned Ernst with the Koch Brothers, billionaires who are

supporting Republican candidates around the United States. Winfrey said Ernst did a good job turning to Braley and directly addressing that he is running against her. “Congressman Braley, you’re not running against these other people [the Koch Brothers], you’re running against me,” Ernst said. “I am a mother, I am a soldier and a I am an independent leader.” Ernst also said that Braley is being funded by Tom Steyer, a billionaire from California who is backing some Democrats this campaign cycle. The new Register poll shows Ernst leading Braley by six-points, 44-38. The poll also shows Braley trailing big time with rural voters. 15 percent of voters plan to support Braley while 58 percent plan to support Ernst. Though Ernst has the chance to be Iowa’s first female Senator, women are supporting Braley by 13

percent. Ernst leads male voters by 25 percent. Winfrey said over the next few weeks, Braley needs to spend more time campaigning with voters to make himself a more likeable candidate. She said that Ernst has come off more likeable than Braley over the past few months, and during the debate it was clear that Ernst is a better speaker. Winfrey also said the gender gap is based more on ideology. More women tend to support Democrats, while men tend to support Republicans. “I’m sure women would like to send their first female Senator to Congress,” Winfrey said. “Political ideology is more of a deciding factor when voting for someone.” Braley and Ernst are set to debate again on Oct. 16 in Sioux City. That debate will be broadcast in the Ames/Des Moines market on ABC5, WOI-DT. Election Day is Nov. 4.

Greek community participates in National Hazing Prevention Week By Sarah.Muller @iowastatedaily.com The Office of Greek Affairs handed out lemonade and encouraged students to sign a #SayNoToHazing banner to kick off National Hazing Prevention Week, which started Sept. 22. To raise awareness, case studies of hazing incidents were presented to greek community volunteers. The participants’ solutions and courses of action were then presented to judges. The winning team received prize money. “People want to see hazing addressed and they want to see things done, but it’s not something that wants to be brought up,” said Alex Riesberg, junior in business marketing and vice president of risk management for Interfraternity Council. “I think this week people are glad that we are doing stuff like this.” Participants were given

a case that had been tried many years ago, where chapter members took the wallets and cell phones of new members and brought them out to the woods. Then they blindfolded them and told them to recite the chapter’s creed until they had it memorized. They were left in the woods and later to be found by the police. “When I saw this particular case study, I felt that it was something that could realistically happen to a fraternity and a person in my position would have to handle on two different fronts,” said Benny Rohloff, junior in psychology. Rohloff is new member educator and vice president of judicial affairs for Phi Kappa Psi. Rohloff took a threepoint approach to handling the case study, which started with solving the situation within the chapter, handling it amongst the national fraternity and addressing it on the university’s judicial level.

“Hazing is illegal and it is something that removal of membership or some kind of judicial proceeding within the chapter might not be sufficient,” Rohloff said. The judges of the participants’ course of actions were Sara Kellogg, assistant director of judicial affairs, and Michael Davis, director for Buchanan Hall. Both judges commonly handle behavioral issues. “We’re looking for how completely they address the problem, what kind of solutions they come up with, how it might have a larger impact on the community and if they are thinking about the future and not just current situations,” Kellogg said. Hazing is not only recognized at the university level but nationally as well. “When you look at national greek organizations, they have really taken a stance of really wanting to be on the forefront of nonhazing and making sure that

all of their members have a good and positive experience,” Davis said. The goal of the week was to bring awareness to hazing, but Billy Boulden, director of greek affairs, believes other life lessons can be learned. “I think critical think-

ing is an important skill to learn,” Boulden said. “Whether that’s regarding hazing or in your life, to learn how to process a situation and to make decisions is an important life skill.” While bringing awareness to campus, the greek community is also trying

to fight against stereotypes. “I think the greek community is plagued with a stereotype [that isn’t] painting our community in the best light,” Rohloff said. “I think that our community in particular is taking a stance to actively fight against the stereotype.”

ISU greek system works to abolish hazing Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons

The popular clothing store Urban Outfitters recently released a vintage Kent State sweatshirt that appears to be covered in blood splatter. Many were outraged and offended because of the allusion to the Kent State massacre. However, people immediately began buying it, nonverbally condoning their offensive and thoughtless actions.

Puchasing the problem By Madison.Ward @iowastatedaily.com

ay 4, 1970, four students at Kent State University lost their lives. After President Nixon set the bar for 150,000 soldiers to be sent to fight in the Vietnam War, campuses across the country broke out in protest, including Kent State University. In fact the riots at Kent State were so violent that the governor of Ohio sent 900 National Guardsman to defuse the riot and bring peace back to the campus. This move completely backfired when the guardsmen opened fire on the crowd, wounding nine students and killing four others. This terrifying incident would go down in history as the Kent State Massacre. If you flip through any history textbook and come across an event involving the killing of human beings, it is never a positive story. A massacre is murder, whether it is police doing the shooting or citizens. Simply and succinctly is not moral. So who in their right mind would dream of promoting it? The answer is the over-priced and over-rated clothing store Urban Outfitters. Last week the extremely controversial teen clothing store released a vintage-inspired Kent

State sweatshirt — remember the massacre took place in 1970, so the vintage aspect is key — covered in a red paint that bares a horrifying resemblance to blood spatter. Oh yeah, and it costs $129.00 on Urban Outfitters’ website. Although this is not the first time the company has taken it upon themselves to plaster controversial topics on their clothing, the reaction to their newest addition has produced more public outcry than ever before, including from officials at Kent State. A statement released from the university on Sept. 15 said, “We take great offense to a company using our pain for their publicity and profit.” Just because this tragic event took place 44 years ago does not make it any less of a sensitive subject for those who were alive when the incident took place and especially for those who attended the university at the time. But what I would say the worst part of this whole ordeal is is the fact that only a week after the design’s release, the stock completely sold out, according to Forbes.com. Let that sink in — sold out. That means that people across the nation have made the conscious choice to spend the ungodly amount of $129 on a sweatshirt essen-

tially negating the tragedy of the Kent State Massacre. For the people of my generation, that would be the equivalent of walking around wearing a Columbine High School T-shirt with a bunch of bullet holes in it. The sentiment, or shall I say the lack there of, is the same except there just happens to be a roughly a 30-year time gap. As for as a response from the company about the controversy, an extended tweet was released explaining what went wrong with the sweatshirt and that the intent did not come from a morbid place. On Sept. 15 a representative for the Philadelphia-based company, via TwitLonger, which allows users to tweet beyond 140 characters, tweeted, “The oneof-a-kind item was purchased as part of our sun-faded vintage collection. There is no blood on this shirt nor has this item been altered in any way. The red stains are discoloration from the original shade of the shirt and the holes are from natural wear and fray. Again, we deeply regret that this item was perceived negatively.” So yes, they apologized. Good for them. But let’s be honest, this is not the first time this retailer has crossed moral lines. They have tiptoed the brink of impropriety in terms of politics,

religions and eating disorders. Some of the more memorable items were the tank top worn by a rail-thin model saying “Eat less” and a yellow shirt with a black Star of David printed on the front, referencing the Holocaust, and using a color combination on various clothing items called Obama/black. This despicable sweatshirt is not their first offense, so why should we believe that they are truly sorry? They don’t have to be 100 percent genuine in their apology because they know that they have teenage shoppers wrapped around their little finger. This franchise has been pushing their limits since the very beginning. Sales have not suffered because we keep buying their products, even though we are walking around saying that what they’re promoting is wrong. People who purchase their products are nonverbally condoning their actions, which is why Urban Outfitters is getting away with whatever they want once again. The only way they will learn and be truly sorry for offending most of the country is when we stop shelling out hundreds of dollars for their ignorant clothing. Urban Outfitters is producing the problem, but shoppers are just as much to blame because we are buying it. Literally.

Cliche clothing creates arrogant image of greeks By Gabriel.Rivera @iowastatedaily.com

n response to the article that was published by the Iowa State Daily regarding the recommended garb for those who wish to rush and potentially join a fraternity, I, as a member of the greek community, am disgusted by the stereotypes that we commit ourselves to. At the same time, I am very proud to be part of my house and the brothers I have gained are my brothers for life. I think I speak for at least some of the greek community when I say that we sometimes live double lives. Of course Sperrys and khakis are acceptable and they have their place within anyone’s wardrobe. I will also openly admit that I have never

owned a pair of Sperrys, but I do own a pair of non-slip leather shoes. In certain contexts, clothing styles can look outright pompous and gratuitous. Take a look at yourself and question everything about yourself for just a minute. What’s your reason to choose the clothes you wear everyday? It has never been my style to hop onto a bandwagon of any fashion trend. Partly because I hate looking like everyone else and partly because dressing like a stereotypical fraternity man in a Ralph Lauren polo, brand-name khaki shorts and Sperrys does not fit my personality. I hail from the San Francisco Bay Area where dressing casual for nearly every occasion, except a wedding, job interview or court case, is acceptable. If the greek community

Sterotypes about the greek community are often about clothing. Columnist Rivera argues that dressing like a typical greek member doesn’t excuse arrogant behavior.

would like to cultivate a culture of leadership it should look at itself in the mirror and try to determine if it’s creating a standard or a stereotype. Everyone dresses similarly because they think that it looks good and it is cool. The military uses the same uniform for everyone as a psychological tool to bring everyone together. How can fraternities prove that they are different from others if their style of dress shows exactly the opposite? If you’re going to dress in the stereotypical frat style, you better act like the most gentlemanly gentleman that have ever walked the earth. The frat uniform is not an excuse to be arrogant and ignorant. Rather it is an excuse to be friendly and formal.

I am inclined to call it the “frat-bag” look, a combination of fraternity and something else I can’t put in the paper. For example, one can derive the “fratbag” coefficient by taking the height of a fraternity member’s popped collar divided by the angle of their visor and raising that to the power of the number of times their fraternity’s letters appear on their person. Using Iowa State’s super computers, this value can be determined with exceeding accuracy. An accuracy deemed worthy for the inflated ego of an average frat-bag. I will receive a lot of flak for this opinion piece, but it’s my opinion. Don’t be afraid to buck trends and go against the grain.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

ISU alumnus glad he asked a Christian in 1966 By Steven Ritland, ISU alumnus On a recent visit to the campus, I noticed an article in your paper entitled “Ask an Atheist.” I am happy that when I was a student at Iowa State

in 1966, and had a question about life, I asked a Christian instead. I asked him why Jesus Christ had to die for us — why couldn’t God just accept us as we are? His answer led to a total transformation of my life for the better.

He explained that God is holy, righteous and just, and that all people are defiled by sin, which prevents us from entering God’s presence. God’s solution was to send his son Jesus to live a perfect life and die as a sacrifice for the whole world.

We could obtain forgiveness and salvation by receiving Jesus as our Lord and Savior, by faith in him. As a result of that explanation, I committed my life to the Lord Jesus. It was the best decision I ever made. I’m glad I asked a Christian.

Hazing is something that every school with a greek community worries about. When hazing happens on a campus, it not only looks bad on the fraternity or sorority that was hazing but also the entire greek community and university. Last week, Iowa State’s greek community celebrated antihazing week, showing the university and the public that they are living up to the standards and trying to abolish hazing. Starting on Sept. 22, greek community volunteers received a scenario where a student had been hazed. The fraternity or sorority then assessed the situation and discussed how they would handle it as a chapter. The members of the greek community got the opportunity to practice what would happen if there were to be hazing in the greek community, so they would know how to handle the issue if it ever arises. The participants then presented their plans of action and solutions to judges, and the winners received a prize. Hazing on college campuses can become very dangerous. Students from other universities have been humiliated, put in situations where they didn’t feel comfortable and have been forced to drink too much. Some have even died from hazing. Situations that have come about nationwide tend to put the greek community in the spotlight as the poster children for hazing. Movies such as “Neighbors” and “Animal House” show instances where hazing occurs in the greek community, such as forcing pledges to drink excessively or making them do ridiculous things to humiliate them for others’ enjoyment. Although life is not always like the movies, it is discouraging that these movies highlight hazing and makes it seem like it is a regular part of the greek community. In all reality, greek students care very much about the greek community and work very hard to make sure that hazing does not get their privileges taken away. The greek houses that took the hazing situations and assessed them were planning for how they would handle these situations if they were to happen in real life. These types of events should happen more often, to continue to show that the greek community is working to protect themselves from hazing. Greek houses are not the only people that take a part in hazing. Other clubs and organizations have been known for hazing around the country. Greeks are not only practicing for themselves but also to spread the word around campus and set an example for other organizations to not haze. Hazing can be incredibly dangerous and needs constant attention by students and school officials. It is encouraging to see that students at Iowa State are concerned with the issue and are ready to face it if the situation is ever to arise here. We as a university must stand up against hazing and the greek community is doing a great job in leading the efforts.

Bears outrun the Cyclones By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com Down 14-7 at the end of the first quarter, the ISU football team appeared to be gaining momentum heading into the second quarter with the ball and a pumped-up crowd. On the first play of the second quarter, quarterback Sam Richardson was flushed out of the pocket. He threw a left-handed pass to a nearby receiver, getting intercepted in the process. “I couldn’t help but laugh walking off the field. It was just dumb,” Richardson said. “It was a stupid play, obviously, and it’s something I’ll have to learn from.” Baylor (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) went on to outscore Iowa State (1-3, 0-2 Big 12) 21-0 in the second quarter, allowing the nation’s No. 7 team to cruise to a 49-28 victory. Although fans may not be laughing at the illadvised interception, they may be breathing a sigh of relief as the Cyclones’ schedule eases up after their matchup with ranked Oklahoma State on Oct. 4. There are only two more ranked teams in the final seven games of the season. But coach Paul Rhoads was happy with how his team played for three quarters of the game against a team poised to challenge for the Big 12 Championship. “This Baylor team, in my opinion, is better than the one a year ago,” Rhoads said. ”To do some of the things we did against them, I thought we improved, certainly.” Perhaps the most obvious improvement was forcing the nation’s No. 1

offense to go three-and-out five times, after they were forced into three-and-outs three times in the first three games combined. However, the Bears’ No. 1-ranked offense was often too quick for the Cyclones to stop. Led by quarterback Bryce Petty, Baylor was able to do what it needed to pull out the win and Rhoads was not shy about his feelings towards the quarterback. “I think he’s the best football player in college football and I told him so after the game,” Rhoads said. Petty threw for 336 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed for two more touchdowns in three quarters of play. With previously injured receivers Antwan Goodley and Corey Coleman both cleared to play, the duo combined for 268 receiving yards. The Bears also used power running back Shock Linwood to roll in for three touchdowns. Baylor quietly rushed for 244 yards on 47 attempts while keeping the ISU defense on their toes in the passing game. Averaging 654.3 yards through their first three games, Baylor’s 601-yard performance against Iowa State came as no surprise. More surprising was Iowa State burning two redshirts on the offensive side of the ball with wide receiver Jauan Wesley and running back Martinez Syria both seeing their first action of the season. “We’ve got three wide receivers in our two-deep that have been lost for the

season through three ball games,” Rhoads said. “We need receivers so we made a decision that Jauan was the next man ready to go and you will see him the rest of the season.” Wesley’s insertion was needed as the Cyclones struggle to keep receivers healthy, but Syria’s insertion at running back late in the first half came as a change of pace for a backfield struggling to get any-

thing going. “There is no running attack … it needs drastic improvement,” Rhoads said. “[Syria] will be part of a rotation in the backfield [going forward].” Iowa State takes on its third ranked-Big 12 team in Oklahoma State next week in what may be the toughest three-game Big 12 opener in the conference. Kick off is set for 11 a.m. on Oct. 4 in Stillwater, Okla.

ISU running back hardships continue New running back brings strength By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com One of the biggest issues facing the ISU football team is the run game. The Cyclones have struggled on the ground this season and that was evident Sept. 27 against Baylor. The No. 7 Bears (3-0, 1-0 Big 12) held the Cyclones (1-3, 0-2 Big 12) to 162 rushing yards, with only 35 yards in the first half. In fact, Iowa State’s running backs Aaron Wimberly and DeVondrick Nealy have less than 200 total combined yards through the first four games.

“We had great preparation going into it. The defense came out there physical, we came out there physical, but we just left it out there. It’s real close, everyone is going out there fighting there butts off.” -Aaron Wimberly, running back The run game has been something on the coaches’ radar since fall camp, and head coach Paul Rhoads knows that it is perhaps a bigger issue now more than ever. “It’s not the backfield,” Rhoads said. “It’s the whole combination of everything that it takes to establish a running game. It needs drastic improvement.”

Redshirt junior running back DeVondrick Nealy runs the ball against No. 7 Baylor on Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium. The Cyclones fell to the Bears 49-28.

Rhoads even decided to turn to Martinez SyriaCQ, removing the true freshman’s redshirt. Syria, who was a three-star recruit from Humble, Texas, carried the ball eight times for 15 yards. “It was a great experience,” Syria said. “It’s something I’ve been dreaming of since I was a kid, and I finally got the chance to do it and make that dream come true.” But will Syria be any more productive than the other running backs? Coaches and players both say that he brings a different style to the position

Total: 162 yards than they have now. They think that can be very beneficial. “He’s a bigger back and he’s more powerful,” Wimberly said. “He leans forward when he gets tack-

led, and that’s why he’s on the field. He’s a good back. He did great, and he’s going to learn more as the season goes on.” Yet it wasn’t any of the backs that led the team

in rushing against Baylor. Instead, it was quarterback Sam Richardson. Richardson ran the ball 14 different times and picked up 126 rushing yards, with his biggest carry being a 47-yard touchdown run to start the second half. Richardson, who leads the team in rushing through the first four games, became the first Cyclone to run for over 100 yards since the Texas game last October. “Sam’s a great leader, a great quarterback,” Wimberly said. “What he reads on the field, that’s how it’s going to be. I feel he read it

right, and the yards that he got he deserved.” It seems that there is still some work to do to get production out of the running backs. Rhoads, however, is determined to find the answer to their problems. “Yeah, we ran the ball in training camp,” Rhoads said. “Have we ran it in four games? No, not with any sustained success. We’ve obviously figured that out through five weeks and four games. I promise you, we’re searching for ways to have angles and leverage and have plays to improve on.”

ISU fares well in Minnesota, prepares for next invitational Team battles through heat, places second By Kyle.Heim @iowastatedaily.com Seven runners clocked times for the ISU women’s cross country team at the Roy Griak Invitational on Saturday, but the top time came as no surprise. After leading her team to victory in the final five events of the season last year, junior Crystal Nelson continued her streak with a third-place finish at the invitational. For the second straight season, Nelson placed third at the Roy Griak Invitational. Senior Katy Moen crossed the finish line two seconds later, clocking in at 20 minutes, 47 seconds and earning fourth place overall. The pair of runners helped Iowa State finish as the runner-up at the event behind No. 3 Michigan State. “It felt awesome to have Katy right there with me and the other girls also right behind us,” Nelson said. “I think we achieved our goal of staying together through the first 2k and 4k.” After originally ex pecting to sit out for the invitational, sophomore

Bethanie Brown finished third for the Cyclones and 16th overall. Graduate student Margaret Connelly and sophomore Perez Rotich followed Brown with 37th and 42nd place finishes, respectively. “I thought Bethanie Brown did a great job considering we’ve been unsure if we were going to run her or not,” said ISU coach Andrea Grove-McDonough. “She’s coming along and getting her health back together.” The team used the

same strategy it did earlier this season at the Bulldog Classic. The strategy consisted of starting the race easy and sticking close together for as long as possible. “I thought the race [was] pretty slow, which ended up helping because it was really hot out there,” Grove-McDonough said. “Maybe our four and five [runners] were a little farther back than they should’ve been, but it gives us a lot to build on. We have work to do.” After competing in temperatures in the mid’80s, the team will focus on recovering this week during practice. “Some of the girls were really affected by the heat,” Grove-McDonough said. “We certainly have some work to do between now

and NCAAs but we feel really good about this start to the season.” Nelson said she started feeling tired during the last 200 and 400 meters of the race and didn’t feel up to full speed. She said speed work will be a focus during practice in preparation for the end of the season. Rotich said adding endurance is also key to having a good performance in the team’s next competition. The team has three weeks to prepare for its next meet. On Oct. 17, the Cyclones will travel to Madison, Wis. to compete in the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational on Oct. 17. The invitational will be the last of the season before the Big 12 Championships begin in November.

By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com Cyclone Hockey’s offense flexed its muscles with back-to-back blowouts on Sept. 26 and 27 against HC Harbin from China at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena. The No. 5 ranked Cyclones (5-1, 1-1 ACHA) outshot its opponents 118 to 28 through two games and kept the HC Harbin defense off-balance the entire weekend on their way to 8-0 and 11-1 victories. In the first game, the Cyclones came out strong as they put 22 shots on net in the first period. Thanks to HC Harbin goaltender Liu Zhi Wei stopping 21 of those shots, HC Harbin only went down 1-0. The second period started out quite similarly to the first, but this time Wei couldn’t stop as many of the pucks from going in the net. The Cyclones put 22 more shots on net and three of them got by Wei. Iowa State would complete the lopsided shutout in the third period, tacking on four more goals. Scott Antonsen picked up a goal and an assist and Antti Helanto had two assists, while Zack Johnson also had a goal and an assist. Although the Cyclones picked up a big victory, head coach Jason Fairman would have liked to see some parts of the game go differently. “We scored eight goals, so that’s always good, but in that first period we had a lot of point-blank chances and didn’t score,” Fairman said. “That concerns me because it has been a problem ever since I became the head coach. We don’t score a lot of goals.” The second game started off the same for Iowa State, out shooting HC Harbin 19-5 and taking a 1-0 lead early in the first period. However, HC Harbin kept the game level after Ji Peng danced around the Cyclone defenders on his way to scoring the only goal for

Harbin on the weekend. In the second period, Iowa State exploded, putting four goals in the net and taking a 5-1 lead. The Cyclones didn’t let up in the third period, scoring six goals en route to another lopsided victory. Johnson had a hat trick and then some, scoring four goals on the night. Johnson had five goals and two assists in total over the two games against Harbin. “Having a night like this definitely doesn’t happen very often, if at all,” Johnson said. “It’s a luck thing for sure, being in the right place at the right time. I have to thank the other guys on the ice for sure for feeding me the puck.” Alex Grose also took advantage of the offensive showing while also picking up a hat trick in the game. “It was fun to have a night like that. We played our systems well and [I] owe it to the guys with me [Alex] Grupe and [Austin] Parle to help me put the puck in the net,” Grose said.

I don’t want to have to fix any bad habits the players might have picked up. It’s like anything in life we picked up some bad habits and now we have to fix them early.”

were several different steps in order to get the ASL minor established. He worked with department members and students to go through the Departmental Curriculum Committee, the college level Curriculum Committee and the Board of Regents. ASL is a visual language that has only been offered at Iowa State for two years. It uses hands, body gestures and facial expressions to emphasize what the person signing is saying and feeling. Ballard wanted to teach sign language to serve as a bridge in bringing the hearing world and the deaf world together. He said he wanted to teach others that it is okay to be different. In addition to teaching signing techniques, Ballard also educates his students about the Deaf culture. People who can hear sometimes think of deaf people as being impaired, he said. Haden Hall, freshman in engineering, was exposed to the Deaf community his sophomore year of high school. He said if someone is born deaf he views them as having a disability but not a mental disability. This is what people within the deaf community call lowercase “d” — the medical viewpoint when the ear simply does not work. People within the Deaf community view deafness as a culture. They recognize the value of being deaf and being themselves. They are fully capable of doing anything that they want to do. “I’m here teaching at a university,” Ballard signed. “My deafness doesn’t stop me.” Ballard’s attitude and devotion to the ASL program has inspired students within his ASL classes to view deafness in a different way, labeled as uppercase “D” deafness.

Michael Ballard is the only deaf Iowa State faculty member on campus. He instructs introductory courses on American Sign Language to students, most of whom are able to hear.

“Singing is not just some visual form of broken English. It’s not something that we just add onto the English language. ASL is a thing of its own. It’s a living, breathing language.” -Michael Ballard, lecturer People in the Deaf community or those who have exposed themselves to the culture tend to have the uppercase “D” viewpoint where deafness represents the Deaf community and culture. It recognizes the value of being deaf and allows those who are deaf to feel capable. “Our lives aren’t about whether we are deaf or not,”
