StuGov elects Cody Smith as new PR chair

By David.Perrin @iowastatedaily.com Student Government met Wednesday and elected Sen. Cody Smith to the position of Public Relations chair, previously held by former Sen. Peter Myers.

The bill was introduced during special orders, and Vice Speaker Conner Tillo nominated Smith for the open chair position.

“I think Smith is very well qualified for the position,” Tillo said.

Before being voted in, Smith took the podium to say a few words about his plans for the PR position and how he could benefit the Student Government while serving it.

“I’m not sure how [the position] was run in the past, but I can see from my experience, at this time, that it does need to run more effectively, and I think I’m the person to do that,” Smith said.

The most prominent of Smith’s ideas to improve the way the chair position is handled is simple: He believes the PR Senate positions first need filled, and then he thinks the Student Government needs to be more involved with PR issues as a whole.

“As far as I’m concerned with what the Public Relations Committee does, the more people, the better; however, there is a line at which if people aren’t dedicated, then they shouldn’t be on the committee,” Smith said.

The committee is currently short Senate positions and is looking to fill them as soon as possible.

Smith wants the future candidates to be suitable and dedicated to the roles that they will eventually fill within the Student Government.

“I think that it’s important to be strategic in the fact that we represent this body,” Smith said. “And we might not agree with everything that happens in this body, but we always need

A LEGEND IN LECTURES Kennedy DeRaedt/Iowa State Daily

Pat Miller is director of the Iowa State Lectures Program, pictured above in the Great Hall. She is responsible for over 130 speakers per year who speak on campus.

By AustinAnderson @iowastatedaily.com Pat Miller ate insects with Jay Leno, kept the ashes of Gloria Steinem’s final cigarette, and after 35 years, produced one of the country’s most successful lecture series ... all on only five hours of sleep a night.

Nineteen hours after a lecture on polar bears and 18 hours after a lecture on the Arab Spring, Miller slowly leans in and squints at the computer in front of her.

She could be examining a number of different things. Potentially finalizing details of one of the over 120 speakers she helps bring into the lecture series each school year as director of the Lectures Program.

Or she may be making sure the cookies she ordered for the first livestream of the first presidential debate will be in the Great Hall on time.

“People have no idea how much goes into these lectures,” Miller said.

It’s 2 p.m. on a Friday. There are no lectures for the next 77 hours, a rare break for the lecture series but far from a break for herself.

Miller sits in her office at her desk across the hall from the post office in the Memorial Union.

Her office isn’t big or elegant by any

means, but the character it displays is obvious. A far cry from the English faculty office she started out in over 35 years ago.

When Miller took over the lecture program within a year of graduating from Iowa State, 38 lectures filled the calendar.

Three and half decades later, that number has more than tripled.

The history of those decades fill the shelves.

Miller gets up from her seat and moves to the back of the office to examine some pictures. She stumbles across a picture from 1984 of herself and Gloria Steinem, the feminist icon, social activist, writer, editor and champion of women’s rights.

“I forgot I had that,” Miller said while examining the picture. “We were both much younger then.”

The ‘80s are represented in Miller’s office by a glass bottle holding the cigarette ashes of Steinem. Steinem was trying to quit smoking when she spoke at Iowa State in October of 1984. Miller gave Steinem a ride back to her hotel when Steinem knocked off the ashes of her cigarette into the ashtray in Miller’s van.

Miller said those ashes were part of the last cigarette Steinem ever smoked. Thirtytwo years later, the ashes are preserved on Miller’s shelf and might be seen by Steinem when she returns to Iowa State

on Oct. 11.

The ‘90s are represented in Miller’s office by a Willie Nelson poster, from when he performed at the football stadium, hiding behind a bookshelf.

“What’s the date say on the poster?”

Miller asks, having returned to her chair.

April 24, 1993.

‘He’s great,” Miller responds before going into specific detail about her encounter with the country singer more than 23 years earlier.

The 2000s are highlighted by getting Bill Nye the Science Guy to venture to campus.

The five years of phone calls, handwritten invitations and emails to get Nye to easily fill Stephens Auditorium to maximum capacity were worth it, but not the longest amount of time Miller has spent recruiting talented speakers.

Steinem most recently came to Iowa State in 1997. It took 19 years of persistence to get her back for her lecture “My Life on the Road” this October.

It took 25 years to get Margaret Atwood to finally come in November.

A replica of Miller’s thumb is on a shelf next to Leonardo Dicaprio’s “pee bottle” from the movie “The Aviator.”

Lilly Ledbetter addresses an audience during her “Equal Pay for Equal Work” event in the Oak Room of the Memorial Union on Wednesday.

Despite losing voice, activist spreads message of equality at Iowa State

By Brandon.Ghazali @iowastatedaily.com By the time Lilly Ledbetter had arrived at Iowa State on Wednesday morning, she had all but lost her ability to speak. But that didn’t stop the women’s equality activist from making her voice heard on campus Wednesday afternoon in support of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

“I’m miserable in this situation because I’ve gotta talk,” Ledbetter said regarding her voice.

Ledbetter first gained recognition as an advocate for equal pay with her lawsuit against her former employer, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, which she filed after learning from an anonymous tip that she was getting paid thousands less than the men in her position at the company where she’d been working for 19 years.

She initially won the case, then subsequently lost after an appeal to

the Supreme Court resulted in a 5-4 decision in Goodyear’s favor. The Roberts-led court had ruled that Ledbetter “should have filed suit within 180 days of her first unequal paycheck” despite the fact that she had no way of knowing that she was being paid unfairly before she received the tip, according to her official website.

The decision prompted Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who dissented the court’s decision, to urge Ledbetter to continue to fight back.

Finally, on Jan. 29, 2009, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act became the first bill that President Barack Obama would sign into law. It stated that the 180-day period for filing pay discrimination suits resets with each paycheck affected by discrimination, rather than just the first instance.

Due to her difficulty speaking, Ledbetter’s travel partner, Sue Dvorsky, acted as an intermediary between Ledbetter and the audience. Together, they advocated

By Thomas.Nelson @iowastatedaily.com

for the need of political activism from students and the importance of the election, all while telling the story of Ledbetter’s own nine-year fight against discrimination. They also fielded questions from those in attendance, even allowing them to tell their own stories of facing discrimination.

Dvorsky — who serves as the director of women’s outreach for the Clinton campaign in Iowa — told the Daily how lucky she felt to have such a “great gig” traveling with Ledbetter. Dvorsky said that after leaving Iowa State they would immediately head to the other events scheduled Wednesday in Fort Dodge, Waterloo and Davenport, noting that they also had an event in Marion, but it was cancelled due to flooding in the area.

“It’s 10 events in two days for her, and that’s the schedule she wanted,” Dvorsky said.

After nine years of record ridership, CyRide is looking for a change.

CyRide has gone from 4 million rides a year to almost 7 million rides a year, said Sheri Kyras, director of transit at CyRide.

“We have the same basic route structure that we had when we were at 4 million rides,” Kyras said. “Each year we continue to grow.”

Enrollment and the population of Ames have both increased, although the city of Ames has not increased as fast as the student population, Kyras said.

“There’s been more pressure within the community and within CyRide as well,” Kyras said.

CyRide’s routes haven’t been looked at seriously since 2006.

“Roughly 93 percent of the riders are students,” said Warren Madden, emeritus senior vice president for business and finance. “The basic routes probably haven’t been reviewed for 15 to 20 years I would guess.”

The change is being pushed by the City of Ames Transit Agency Board of Trustees, of which Madden is a member. The board acts as a representative group of students, the city and the public all coming together, Kyras said.

Forums, rider surveys and public meetings are being planned to ensure student input.

“Those who don’t ride can also provide input, because there’s a large sector of the student population that don’t ride CyRide and we want know what they think,” said Kate Gregory, senior vice president for university services and member of the transit board.

Questions are being explored by a consulting firm to determine the future of CyRide.

The consulting firm chosen was Nelson NyGaard, out of Seattle, Washington.

“Should the route systems be expanded, and if so, where,” Madden said. “The bulk of the ridership is around where student occupancy is, or the Iowa State Center.”

In 2014, there was a satellite location on the Iowa State campus.

These locations will allow people to vote early at places other than the county auditor’s office.

All ballots must be completed at the county auditor’s office or the satellite voting location and are not allowed to be taken home.

Food science graduate student Nathan Davis dumps liquid nitrogen into an ice-cream mixer Wednesday in MacKay Hall.

Tyler Coffey/Iowa State Daily

Liquid nitrogen turns to ice cream

By Emily.Schroer @iowastatedaily.com Imagine making ice cream from liquid nitrogen and getting a tasty treat afterward.

The Food Science Club held a demo Wednesday on how to make ice cream with liquid nitrogen. The demo also included a history of the process and a sample tasting for all of those who attended.

Colby Abrams, club member, gave a presentation on the history of the commercialization process of liquid nitrogen ice cream. He first talked about Will Schroder and T.J. Paskach, two graduate students who created a flash freeze ice cream machine for a campus festival in 1999. The two students took their machine to the fair and then eventually opened the Blue Sky Creamery in 2002.

Abrams then continued talking about a few facts about their process.

“Americans eat about 1.5 million bathtubs full of ice cream a year,” Abrams said.

He said that liquid nitrogen boils at -320 degrees Fahrenheit, which is great for making ice cream. Liquid helium boils at -452 degrees Fahrenheit and is even better for making ice cream but is more

expensive, so it’s harder to use.

Abrams explained the process they used to create the ice cream.

“The process is really easy,” Abrams said. “You take your ice-cream mixture, which they made a mixture of heavy cream, milk, sugar and flavoring like vanilla. Then you take your liquid nitrogen, you pour it in and then you mix it,” Abrams said.

He finished by explaining how air, liquid and solid are all coexisting in one product: ice cream.

“You have the air from the mixing, you have the milk/dairy base, which is liquid, and then you have the ice crystals,” Abrams said. “Which is formed by cooling it down really fast.

“The ice crystals are actually a major benefit to the liquid nitrogen, because the faster you cool something the smaller the ice crystals are, the more smooth the ice cream feels and tastes. Also liquid nitrogen gives you a lower melting point so the ice cream won’t melt as fast and you can savor it longer.”

A lot of good things were being said about the ice cream.

“It was delicious,” said Joe Swilley, sophomore in pre-business.

“This is like legitimate ice cream, like the

softest ice cream ever,” said Nathan Davis, a graduate student club member.

Davis is also a food science major and he talked a little about why food science is so important.

“We want to feed as many people the highest quality of food possible, but in order to do that you have to have some sort of frame work,” Davis said. “That’s what food science is. It’s microbiology, chemistry, physics and applied math. It’s all of these hard disciplines and sciences and mathematics and engineering coalescing together as one applied system.”

Becca Furbeck, junior in food science and club member, said the fee for the entire year is $10 and includes dinner at every meeting.

“Food is such an ethereal part of culture and part of everything you do and you don’t realize how much work goes into your piece of meat on your sandwich,” Furbeck said.

Davis said food is something people deal with every day.

“Food is such an intimate part of our lives and to understand how it works, like the science and how things are made and the fact that you can manipulate science to get a higher quality or safer product that really all about food science,” he said.

Trump plans to end ‘Clinton corruption’

By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com Donald Trump was back in Iowa for the first time following the presidential debate, where he focused more on his opponent Hillary Clinton than his policies in an unscripted speech in Council Bluffs.

During his rally, the GOP candidate said he was going to take on special interests groups, lobbyists and the “corrupt corporate media,” specifically referring to the news traffic Trump has received following the Monday night debate.

“This is a movement. We have a movement going on I think they’ve never seen before ...,” Trump said. “The big thing is, you have to go out and vote Nov. 8.”

Trump told the crowd that he also intends to create a new government that serves the people, will work to lower taxes, has less regulation and more affordable child care. Appealing to many of the Iowans present, he said he wants to also help support thriving family farms. His policies partially root from problems Trump sees in America, many problems he directed as Clinton’s fault on Monday.

“We’re going to end the Clinton corruption ... total corruption,” Trump said.

Trump is currently trailing roughly three points behind Clinton, according to RealClearPolitics.

Focusing in on Clinton’s email scandal, which Clinton brushed off during the debate in a practiced apology, Trump said during his rally that she “deleted and bleached” over 30,000 emails.

“I’m [so] disappointed with the people in Washington for allowing her to get away with this, both sides by the way, so

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks on Sep. 13 in Clive. Trump spoke Wednesday in Council Bluffs.

disappointed. She gets rid of 13 phones ...,” Trump said.

Supporters also were encouraged to get out and vote early in Iowa, which begins Thursday.

“We can’t let that happen, early voting in Iowa starts tomorrow. Get out, don’t take a chance. Do not take a chance,” Trump said.

Clinton is also encouraging Iowa voters to take to the polls early, and she will be in Des Moines on Thursday in efforts to rally support and raise awareness.

“This will be the year the American people say enough is enough,” Trump said.

Circling back to the debate, Trump also said that he was misrepresented by the

media, who said that Clinton won, when according to Trump, the polls showed otherwise.

“Every single online poll had me winning, and then you go on television ... and I’m winning by massive margins ... and then I have to sit back and hear that these polls don’t mean anything,” Trump said.

Wrapping up his speech, which gained much support from attendees, who often chanted “Lock her up” in reference to Clinton, Trump said he’s going to put America first, clarifying what his end goal is.

“I’m not running to be president of the world, I’m running to be president of the United States,” he said.

Human Sciences holds social for new dean

By Keenan.Kent @iowastatedaily.com Laura Dunn Jolly, the new dean of the College of Human Sciences, held a social Wednesday for members of the college to meet her.

The event, planned by the Human Sciences Council as an extension of the Human Sciences Week program, featured refreshments and a social atmosphere in which attendees were free to interact among themselves and with Jolly.

Tolu Awokoya, sophomore in nutritional science and Human Sciences week chair for the the Human Sciences Council, was involved in the planning of the event.

An active member of the college, Awokoya explained his participation, saying his major is in the College of Human Sciences and the College of Agriculture, but he chose the College of Human Sciences because he really likes the college.

“What I want to accomplish this semester is to listen and learn,” Jolly said.

Having started in June, she said she’s still settling into the role and learning about the college she now oversees.

During the interview process, she said, “You see the front door and you see how people present themselves,” but you do not learn about all of the details of the organization or the job.

In an effort to learn more, Jolly said she plans to engage in other socials and meetings with members of the college.

This one, a particularly large and well-attended meet-and-greet, was intentionally planned around Human Sciences Week.

She said it made sense to have the event this week when the college has particular visibility and engagement.

As dean, Jolly said she has plans for the future of the college.

“I’m really interested in how the college can build partnerships ... across departments,” she said.

In her estimation, providers of grants are seeking teams working across departments on interdisciplinary research, and she said that members of the College of Human Sciences are already engaging in collaboration around the campus, but she would like to facilitate more.

She also discussed outreach programs, mentioning the Iowa State’s commitment to the people of Iowa and saying that she wanted to take researchers’ expertise and “share that across the state.”

As part of this, she mentioned the example of nutrition workshops conducted in May titled “The Adventure Comes to You” and led by members of the college’s health and nutrition faculty, and she affirmed a commitment to creating and expanding similar programs.

Jolly started in her position in July, and was previously a professor of textiles, merchandising and interiors at the University of Georgia.

Jolly succeeds Pam White, a faculty member in food science and human nutrition for more than 40 years and the dean of the college since 2009.

Aleppo has been at the heart of the Syrian refugee crisis, as hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee the city in recent years.

What is Aleppo?

“What’s Aleppo?” Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson asked with a look of confusion in his eyes, when he was asked what he would do as president regarding the refugee crisis on “Morning Joe” on MSNBC. The simply-worded questions brought to light a serious, and often silent, issue in the presidential race.

The question came as a surprise and reflected Johnson’s lack of knowledge about the foreign policy.

For the last five years, Aleppo has been in the spotlight whenever the Syrian refugee crisis is mentioned.

The city is the second largest and most populated city in Syria, with more than 2 million inhabitants as of 2013. For the last five years, both the Syrian regime and extremist groups have launched numerous attacks on the city, leading to thousands of casualties and forcing hundreds of thousands to flee the besieged city.

The battle to control the city is ongoing, with the numbers of dead and injured rising in recent months. With all of the political attempts and the negotiations to end the crisis in Syria, the issue of Aleppo is the main item to discuss.

“Aleppo has long been a focal point of the Syrian conflict,” the New York Times said in a recent report on Johnson’s blunder. “In recent weeks, a new offensive has put the city at the forefront of U.S. foreign policy discussions.”

Despite the significance of the Syrian city, some people, including a presidential nominee who is running to govern the United States of America, are unaware of the problems facing the city.

The question, “What is Aleppo?” quickly started trending on Twitter, and Johnson received a fair share of criticism. Alan Rappeport of the New York Times even argued that “Johnson had disqualified himself from the presidency.” Even CNN stated that “it wasn’t the best look for a presidential candidate.”

Johnson went into defense mode shortly after the interview. He claimed in a statement to Politico, “I blanked.

It happens, and it will happen again during the course of this campaign.”

However, he acknowledged that he should have identified Aleppo.

The issue of knowledge is not just limited to Johnson as an individual.

The incident highlighted just how out of touch Americans are with such a pervasive and serious issue.

With the first presidential debate behind us, this is an issue that needs to be discussed moving forward. Having a presidential candidate, even a minor one, who is so uninformed about foreign policy as it relates to one of the biggest refugee crisis that the United States has even seen is unacceptable and shows just how much Americans don’t see when it comes to the world around them.

Ten percent of college football players in the United States sustain brain injuries at one point in their athletic career, and an average of more than 20,000 college football injuries occur each year. Columnist Coleman believes that due to the health and safety risks of playing the game, college football players should be paid.

College athletes deserve pay College football players owed more than scholarships

By Jordan.Coleman @iowastatedaily.com

F

ootball is back. Every weekend, hundreds of thousands of fans sit in stadiums and living rooms hoping their team triumphs.

Professional or college, football is something that holds Americans together.

A key difference, however, when watching college football instead of the NFL is how athletes are paid.

One of the most well-known conversations about college football is the lack of payment to the athletes.

But should they be compensated?

Upon asking my roommate, a definite football fan, about his opinion on the subject, he brought my attention to how football players risk potentially life and limb for not only the game, but their entire community.

Ten percent of college football players sustain brain injuries at some point in their athletic career. In total, an average of more than 20,000 college football injuries occur each year.

Clearly the direct safety risks are the other players on the field, ending the player’s football career should a serious enough injury be inflicted.

But they also are risking their health not just for the glory of the game, but to help bring in revenue for the city.

Considering the stadium revenue, beer purchased before tailgating and merchandising, college football brings in plenty of money to a town, meaning football players are crucial to the whole process.

So why aren’t many players compensated? Well, they actually are.

Rather than receiving payment for the games in form of cash, the colleges hand out scholarships if they play. Personally, if I had someone paying for my college debts — which eliminates interest rates too — I wouldn’t argue. For others, it’s not enough.

I was also approached with a matter of the NFL making plenty of money since it helps bring in so much income. I have a couple of issues with this.

NFL teams do unquestionable amounts of charities and community service, but I feel they easily could do more.

If you provide soup once or twice a day to the local homeless but then pay multiple players millions of dollars, are you really doing all you can for your community?

Proposing that question, I was met with the rebuttal of “if the players weren’t paid enough, they wouldn’t play.”

I call bologna. Football is their life.

Football is what they love. If they could make $100,000 a year, which

is still way higher than the average household, they would be able to live comfortably and still have their dream job.

Still, I have my own previous statement I must clarify. The factor of health risk.

If players are not receiving an income for playing in college, the health risk shouldn’t impact their payment in the NFL. Part of taking a job in the career world is understanding the health risks of the job.

Think of it this way, you wouldn’t receive an increase in payment because of the risk of layoffs that may occur. If you are choosing to take on a career with understood risks, that is your choice.

It’s not logical to say players get paid as much as they do for health risks when soldiers risk their lives daily and receive a fraction of the payment. The major difference is you can’t defy the contract and walk away without being tried for treason.

It’s the entertainment industry.

There will always be someone else willing to take the job for free in exchange for fame.

The fact that many entertainers are paid just as much as they are shows how the free enterprise has lost its potency in that industry and is controlled by specific investors looking for a return.

If the ethics of business were truly reflective of the potential granted to them by their community, they would give back way more.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Trump is the clear choice for presidency

By Douglas Peyton Class of 1973 Iowa State Sen. Herman Quirmbach, D-Ames, wrote a letter to the editor bashing Sen. Chuck Grassley for supporting presidential candidate Donald Trump for his name calling. Well, senator, I am a long-time Grassley supporter and more recently a Donald Trump convert and supporter. So senator, which Hillary basket do I belong: racist, sexist, homophobe, zenophobe, Islamaphobe or a “you name it” (sic)?

While I am not a fan of name calling, Donald Trump has proven himself to be a very quick study when it comes to politics

and becoming a credible presidential candidate. He met with the president of Mexico, he laid out a very detailed plan to rebuild the military, including specifying the number of ships, aircraft and weapon systems. He met with black clergy and community leaders to seek suggestions on how to help the black community and ask for their support and votes — something very rare for a Republican candidate.

When the state of Louisiana flooded, he promptly visited the area, bringing with him some financial aid, moral support, but most importantly, he brought the plight of those small communities to the attention of the entire nation.

And illegal immigration and

terrorism are both issues we had better take very seriously, both of which have been early cornerstones of the Trump campaign. And senator, I am sure you are aware that these issues affect your constituents directly.

Hundreds of U.S. companies employ foreign “guest workers,” who overstay their H1B visa and ultimately become illegal immigrants.

It is those illegal immigrants who we rarely talk about, but directly compete for the jobs of Iowa State graduates in the fields of architecture, engineering, mathematics, science and medicine.

Rather than be deported, those highly educated illegal immigrants will most likely be will-

ing to work for less money and benefits, plus they don’t have student loan debt.

Most people agree that a strong workforce and family values are core components to make America great again. Consequently, Donald Trump laid out a plan for child care and maternity leave. His goal was to do that without growing government nor creating strangling regulation and bureaucracy. His proposal not only holds the potential to strengthen the family, reduce future crime and make for a much productive workforce, but it proves his longtime commitment to supporting women who chose to be in the workforce and have a family. He calls it “just good business.”

Religious Iowa State students are silenced

By William Yates Daily Reader What a shame that Iowa State believes segregation is the answer to promote social justice. In conducting a preemptive strike, Sen. Abhijit Patwa’s resolution advocates diversity through religious bigotry. For students of reli-

gious faith, we are once again encouraged to be silent with the loud warning that a group who has unique practices of faith, when they disagree with the views of the majority, may be practiced but will not be allowed to participate in public life.

This is not the viewpoint of integrationists, and those who advocate such positions from

places of power should not use such heroes of integration like Jack Trice. In a world in which Iowa State’s newspaper is calling for students to be civically engaged, exclusion for those whose groups hold different standards of morality to see that they should be excluded and shut out is the wrong message to send.

The Constitution’s own Bill

of Rights gives first billing to “Freedom of Religion,” and it is that respect for religious diversity not absence of religious diversity that has strengthened our country even though it has constantly been attacked by people advocating the supremacy of their own religious belief from places of power as Sen. Patwa and the Iowa State Student Government has done.

Jones emerges among wide receivers

By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com Wide receiver Deshaunte Jones watched the ball come over his shoulder before landing in his hands.

He looked up and saw no defenders in front of him and an end zone in his sights.

Jones coasted into the end zone and waited for his teammates to celebrate his first touchdown not only as a Cyclone, but also as a college football player.

But the process to get Jones into that position as a Cyclone was not as easy. “(I) had a really good relationship with him, his mother, and tried to keep that going and I think it really helped us when we got here,” said coach Matt Campbell. “We recruited the heck out of [Jones].”

Jones is from Cincinnati and was a four-star recruit.

Campbell, who was coaching at Toledo at the time, had to compete against schools like Ohio State, Michigan and Cincinnati.

The main thing Campbell had over the other schools was his relationship with the family, and once he took the Iowa State job, he continued keeping close communication with the Jones family. The other thing Campbell had going

for him was his friendship with running back David Montgomery.

Montgomery already signed with Iowa State and was attempting to make

Jones a Cyclone too. When Jones finally decided to come to Iowa State, Campbell was excited to have him on the team and knew he would contribute early

on.

“I’ve seen this [ability] from Deshuante [Jones] since he got here,” said quarterback Jacob Park.

“I think you guys are just

seeing it for the first time.

I have just as much trust in Deshuante as I do in Allen [Lazard] and Trever [Ryen].”

Jones hit the ground

running when the regular season started. His first reception as a Cyclone was an 8-yard catch on Sept. 3.

And he’s grown ever since.

In his first look at Big 12 football on Sept. 17 at TCU, Jones made two receptions for 44 yards. One of those receptions was a 41-yard gain that showed off his speed.

Last weekend against San Jose State, Jones caught his first touchdown from quarterback Joel Lanning to start the scoring for Iowa State in the second half of the game. He also caught a second touchdown in the fourth quarter from Park.

“I try to coach him each and every day,” said wide receiver Allen Lazard. “I’ve been trying to get to know him on a personal level and challenge him each day.”

Jones has been learning how to become a wide receiver because, in high school, he was a quarterback.

Even though he’s a wide receiver now, Park said he’s seen Jones throw at practice and his arm is strong.

Now the new direction is wide receiver and solidifying his skills with his new position.

“He’s a very quiet kid, but he goes out there and works hard every day,” Lazard said. “He shows up on Saturdays.”

Soccer looks for more scoring out of forwards

By Curran.McLaughlin @iowastatedaily.com The last time a forward scored for Iowa State soccer was on Sept. 4.

The Cyclones are hoping to break that nearly monthlong streak Friday when they continue Big 12 play.

Iowa State is built on a sturdy defense, only allowing 1.1 goals per game this season. The offense, however, has been struggling with 1.3 goals per game despite a speedy and talented cast of players.

The Cyclones, who average 13.2 shots per game, have had their fair share of scoring chances. But Iowa State has had trouble turning shots into goals, especially in games against tougher opponents where the shot count can be lower than 10.

Coach Tony Minatta said he challenged all of his forwards to play better in the upcoming game against No. 23 Oklahoma on Friday in Ames.

“We need forwards who are going to step up and not just create opportunities but take advantage of those opportunities,” Minatta said.

Minatta said the focus of the team isn’t necessarily on scoring but rather creating

quality opportunities.

With the forwards underperforming this season, it puts more pressure on the midfield players to step up, which can create turnovers on the offensive side of the field. “[We need to get] that connection with the forwards and midfielders to move forward and create those opportunities to score and put ourselves in a better position to score,” Minatta said. “Some of our opportunities we’re creating [are] not the easiest chances.”

Scoring from outside of the penalty box is a common way of scoring for Iowa State. Big 12 Freshman of the Week Hannah Cade scored a 20-yard goal against Oklahoma State last Friday.

The midfielder said before the game that to improve the offense, the team needed to play with more confidence and take chances rather than playing it safe and shooting from outside of the penalty box.

“I know that I’ve had some shots and opportunities to go at the net more and I didn’t because I wanted to get the shot off,” Cade said. “[We just need] to be calm and composed when we are around finishing [chances].”

Team captain Koree Willer adds an element of that composure and confidence to the team. But, being fresh off of an ankle injury, Willer has been quiet in her first two games back on the field.

Minatta and Willer expect production to pick up with her return from injury, but there’s still issues to sort out throughout the team.

“We need more production from the forwards, that’s for sure,” Willer said.

“I think it’s going to be important to possess that first ball up at our feet, so that we can move up the field as a unit and as a team.”

For Minatta, he expressed frustration with the lack of possession and performance on the opponent’s side of the field. He said that what fans see on the field isn’t the same as what he sees in practices.

Minatta held a meeting with his forwards earlier in the week to discuss what his expectations are moving forward.

“We talked to [the forwards] about [playing better], we’re going to work on it [leading up to the game],” Minatta said. “I believe that we have the leadership and the players to be able to step up and do it, so we’ll see what they can bring on Friday.”

Cyclone Hockey forward Chase Rey prepares to shoot the puck against Illinois State on Oct. 16, 2015. Cyclone Hockey was ranked No. 1 in this week’s American Collegiate Hockey Association rankings.

Cylcone Hockey No. 1 for first time since 1999

By Connor.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com The American Collegiate Hockey Association releases its rankings once a week, every Wednesday.

When this week’s top 25 came out Wednesday night, Cyclone Hockey saw something it hasn’t seen since 1999.

It was ranked No. 1.

“Coaches say rankings don’t mean anything, you’ve got to earn it, which I agree [with],” said coach Jason Fairman. “[But] I’d be lying if I told you it didn’t have some meaning to us and to our team.”

It took the team just three years to reach this spot. Fairman arrived in fall 2013.

“With that comes a target on your back now and everyone wants to knock off the No. 1 team,” Fairman said. “But that’s a challenge I think is good for us early in the season.”

Fairman said it will be brought up at practice this

week.

“It will probably be mentioned once,” Fairman said.

“I’ll say something along the lines of, ‘People will be gunning for you now, everyone wants to knock off the No. 1.’ We certainly do when we’re playing teams that are No. 1.

“When we knocked off Minot State, it was frontpage news here.”

The No. 1 Cyclones will take that target into Bensenville, Illinois, this weekend when they take on Central States Collegiate Hockey League opponent Robert Morris, which is ranked No. 11.

“We definitely have to come ready to play, especially against Robert Morris this weekend,” said cocaptain Chase Rey. “It’s always a good set of games against them. It puts a little pressure on us.”

Out of the five CSCHL teams, not only was Robert Morris ranked, but Illinois, Ohio and Lindenwood were ranked behind the Cyclones.

“It makes it really exciting because we know every game that were playing league-wise is going to be a tough game and it’s going to be a battle until the end,” Rey said. “It definitely makes it a lot of fun and very interesting coming down to the wire.”

After Lindenwood, which was previously ranked as the top team in the nation, was knocked off by No. 9 Oklahoma on Saturday, the door opened for the Cyclones.

Cyclone Hockey lost to Lindenwood in the ACHA championship a season ago.

“A lot of teams are trying to figure it out right now,” said co-captain Kody Reuter. “But obviously it’s good to be in the No. 1 spot.

“We just need to keep working and try to get better every week.”

The Cyclones will try to avoid what Lindenwood did last weekend and win this weekend against Robert Morris to hold onto the No. 1 ranking.

The 70 photographs on display are only a small portion of the more than 200,000 negatives that exist, yet this collection clearly demonstrates the talent of the unknown photographer.

Similar to the wellknown Humans of New York photography project, Maier’s photographs capture people encountered on the streets of New York and Chicago. However, the photographs offer a glimpse into history but with a lack of background stories of the people documented.

With no description of the subjects in the photographs,

viewers have the freedom to imagine the stories of the people documented.

Main Street fills up with attendees of the Octagon Arts Festival on Sunday. The festival is an annual event where artists from all over the country gather to display and sell their work.

46th Octagon Art Festival

By Matthew.Carlson @iowastatedaily.com If you happened to be in downtown Ames from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, chances are you ran into the annual Octagon Art Festival.

This was the 46th year the Octagon has sponsored the event, with nearly a hundred artists and thousands of visitors in attendance. Activities and booths were available for all sorts of ages, ranging from face paint for young children to expensive home art.

Booths at the festival housed a spectrum of kinds of art, including metalwork, painting, photography and jewelry.

Melissa Stenstrom is a local artist who works with jewelry. Stenstrom prepared 15 new pieces in

preparation for this year’s art festival, which included rings, necklaces and earrings. Stenstrom also fills custom orders as well as repair jobs using gold, silver, diamonds, gemstones and pearls.

“I like to try new things that are different than what I usually work with,” Stenstrom said.

Stenstrom enjoys the community vibe that comes with the Octagon Art Festival, which is one reason why she continues to come back every year.

In addition to running an art shop downtown, Stenstrom also teaches art part time at Des Moines Area Community College. Stenstrom’s shop can be found at 507 Main Street, Suite 1.

In addition to artwork, many local restaurants had food trucks set up to serve visitors. Places like The Mucky Duck, Burgie’s,

Gary Winkler is an artist from Fort Dodge, Iowa, who works on forging metal into art.

“I got started in high school taking classes working with metal and did it through college,” Winkler said. “Now I spend a little bit of time almost every day in the shop I built on the back of my house.”

Prior to retirement, Winkler taught industrial tech at Fort Dodge for 39 years.

Winkler has already participated in six different art shows this summer, including one in Ames. He plans to enter one more in Algona at the end of October.

For Winkler, the best part about the Octagon Festival was that he could count on selling a good amount of inventory, which is not always the case at other locations.

The exhibition of Maier’s photographs continues to be a controversy in the art world, since many believe Maier, now deceased, never intended for her collection to be seen.

“It’s an interesting question for art historians, curators and anyone in the art world: How do you walk that line of being respectful to the artist?” said Laura Burkhalter, curator at the Des Moines Art Center.

Because of the controversy, the Art Center decided to bring up the conversation while displaying the works.

The center is showing the documentary, “Finding Vivian Maier,” which traces the life of the late Vivian Maier and describes the discovery of the photographs. The documentary is also available on Netflix.

COMING TO NETFLIX THIS FRIDAY

By Alexander.Gray @iowastatedaily.com “Luke Cage” is Marvel’s latest television series, starring Mike Colter and Mahershala Ali. Colter stars as the titular character, Luke Cage, in Marvel’s third Netflix show, and as the first leading black character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“Luke Cage” will arrive on Netflix on Sept. 30, with all 13 episodes available for instant streaming.

Following in the footsteps of the previous two Netflix exclusive shows, “Daredevil” and “Jessica Jones,” “Luke Cage” will have a much darker tone than the Marvel films and will feature a more down to earth plot.

The majority of the shows take place in Manhattan, New York.

Colter also was a recurring guest star in “Jessica Jones,” playing her love interest, and fellow “Hero for Hire.”

Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Daredevil and Iron Fist from the upcoming Netflix series of the same name will join together in an Avengersstyle team in the miniseries

“The Defenders.”

“Luke Cage” starts up a few months after the events of “Jessica Jones” and follows Cage as he tries to rebuild his life in Harlem while fighting crime and protecting its citizens from the gangster Cornell Strokes, aka Cottonmouth, as portrayed by Mahershala Ali. While not the most obscure character or series Marvel has used in its cinematic universe, Luke Cage is relatively unknown to the casual audience.

The character’s first appearance was in 1972 in “Luke Cage, Hero for Hire #1” and was Marvel Comics’ attempt at the blaxploitation genre.

Luke Cage fought in a more realistic New York than Marvel’s other heroes, using his super strength and bulletproof skin under his alter ego, Power Man. Later in the comic series’ life, Cage would lose his tiara, wrist cuffs and catchphrase, “Sweet Christmas!,” as Marvel tried to distance itself from blaxploitation.

“Luke Cage” won’t be just another superhero show. The director, Cheo Hodari Coker, decided to

have a completely original soundtrack for the show.

Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge helped compose the music.

As put by Younge in a behind-the-scenes video for Netflix, “13 episodes, 13 albums.”

The music is inspired from Muhammad’s time in A Tribe Called Quest and other artists such as the WuTang Clan and Ennio Morricone.

“We all came together to make something great, not just for black people or minorities,” Younge said.

“Just something great, that just happens to be based on our culture.”

The director and composers worked closely over the course of production and created a music video-like product; each punch and kick from Luke is accompanied by a hit in the music.

Like Netflix’s previous Marvel shows, “Luke Cage” is not just catered to superhero fans, but promises to be compelling and entertaining enough for anyone to enjoy.

Luke Cage also is currently starring in the ongoing comic series, “Power Man and Iron Fist.”

Technology revolutionizes relationships

By Tyler.Mardis @iowastatedaily.com The world is full of rapidly evolving technology, and with the changes to technology have come changes to how people connect and interact with one another.

Even though the rapidly changing world is observable, it can be difficult to see how technology affects relationships.

When people hear technology, an image of breakneck communication can be conjured in their head. Instant messages, phone calls and social media have eliminated the sluggish communication that relied on men on horses to run a letter across a country or a wire connection to send a message.

Kelly Winfrey, assistant professor in the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication, said today’s rapidly evolving technology is “on demand” and it is always there for use and

can be accessed with the press of a finger. By living in a time with constant technology, relationships can seem nonstop.

Although technology allows for constant communication, Evan Howard, senior in microbiology, said text messages can take the pressure off responding. Without exigency to respond due to always available technology, there is no pressure to constantly be in connection.

Without having to be in constant contact, but with the potential to be in contact, relationships can flourish by allowing those involved to communicate at their own discretion. With the ability to communicate whenever, and wherever,

friendships that would not have been possible 10 years ago, are now easy to start and maintain.

Ten years ago, internet access and cell phones were not viewed as the necessities they are today.

On top of the lesser importance placed on technology, social media was not as prevalent as it is today.

With more people owning devices that can be used to instantly communicate, as well as social media bringing people together, relationships are able to take place through the internet, no longer needing to leave one’s own home to connect to others.

With advances in technology, geography is not as major of a variable as it used to be. Young Moon, sophomore in sociology, said technology allows for people to stay in contact with one another even overseas.

Having the ability to bypass geographical factors, relationships are not confined to location.

The internet allows

for relationships to be easily maintained and formed. Howard mentioned that the internet allows for relationships to be formed that otherwise would not be possible. Even though longdistance friendships are not a new concept, the internet has allowed for long-distance friendships to be viable relationships.

How people communicate and how relationships will form and function will change in the future. Winfrey said technology changes quickly and frequently. With technology changing quickly and frequently, the future for how relationships will function can not be known for certain. However, it can be assumed that technology will continue to influence relationships.

The real meaning behind the friend zone

By Jessy.Helm @iowastatedaily.com The word “friend zone” gets thrown around by college students quite frequently. Many people think the friend zone is defined as when one person wants to move forward in a relationship and the other does not.

How does the friend zone start, and how does one learn to get out of it?

While many people know what the friend zone is, it is important to know why people do it in the first place.

“Men and women have a lot going on, including activities, and they do not have time for relationships,” said Susan Stewart, professor of sociology.

Relationships take a lot of time and work, and many think that staying “just friends” will keep them focused on their goals.

“Trends suggest that women meet their own goals before committing to a partner,” Stewart said.

This could be why men feel rejection when a girl just wants to be friends. Women want to focus on their studies and reach their goals before they get into a serious relationship; however, this is not the only reason why the friend zone exists.

The friend zone can be a direct result from a person’s past or associated with their family history, such as divorce.

About 40 to 50 percent of married couples in the United States divorce, according to the American Psychological Association. The divorce rate for subsequent marriages is even higher.

Family pasts can affect relationships immensely because they might show how parents’ relationships crumbled. Trust is-

sues rise and make it harder for someone to go past the point of friends.

Time and distance are also huge factors.

Alex Mortimer, junior in software engineering, has been in a situation where distance became an issue in a relationship.

“I did not want long distance if I am not going to be with my significant other, and I do not have time to be on the phone with her all day,” he said.

On top of distance, Mortimer said he needed to focus on his studies and didn’t have time to contact her every day.

People have a lot going on in their lives and sometimes a relationship is not a priority.

Even though rejection exists, it can affect someone long term.

Rejection can be hard to deal with by both men and women. Many are afraid to put themselves out there because of a past experience.

“It is tough to be rejected,” Stewart said.

“Men are expected to put themselves out there, and that is why they have the fear of being rejected.”.

From the moment a person feels like

www.amessilversmithing.com

they do not want to be in a relationship, they should tell the other person, especially if they are good friends. Knowing someone’s honest feelings helps the friendship in the long run.

“There is a very fine line between having a one night stand versus going on a date with someone and then going on a second, making it a regular thing,” Mortimer said.

“As soon as you make that step from seeing someone once to seeing them on a regular basis, clarify what you are looking for and what you want, and make sure you know what they want.”

Thursday, September 29, 2016 LEDBETTER p1 Bauer was among those in attendance Wednesday afternoon. When asked about the importance of having women like Ledbetter speak on college campuses, Bauer said that it is “hugely important, especially for young women” to be aware of the things that women like Ledbetter and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton have done to give women and minorities equal opportunities in the United States.

Bauer said she “couldn’t be more thrilled that [Ledbetter] is here in Story County and that she’s here on campus,” because it sends a message to women at Iowa State to get involved. “[Ledbetter] didn’t have to go up there and say a word, and to me that was

more telling, her willingness to be here on behalf of Hillary Clinton,” Bauer said.

Ledbetter said students and young people have to be involved in this year’s election and must do their own research on the election because their vote is a “precious, precious commodity.”

“We have to vote because what I’ve learned in my journey is that it’s not so much what’s happened to us but what we do about it in the end,” Ledbetter said, also stressing that young people need to vote because “that’s their future.”

Ledbetter will fly home to Alabama after attending an early voting event for Clinton on Thursday in Davenport.

Miller said everyone in the audience ate one.

Tony Bennett was a guest on the show that night. He turned down Miller’s offer.

“Now why would I want to have any job other than this one,” Miller said, laughing to herself about “The Tonight Show” experience.

Within the first five minutes of the interview leading to this story, Miller’s computer alerted her of a new email three separate times.

After an hour of telling stories, Miller said the interview should wrap up soon. She had to write two invitations to potential speakers, and by this point, at least 15 emails to read.

After all, getting eight presidential candidates to speak at Iowa State didn’t just happen by itself. It takes effort. Like averaging five hours of sleep for the past 35 years, kind of effort.

Miller doesn’t set an alarm in the morning but consistently wakes up between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. to begin her day.

She has to constantly recruit new speakers to come to Iowa State in the same day she’s making sure the lecturers who are speaking that night are completely taken care of.

“It’s like a Rubik’s Cube,” Miller said.

She usually ends her day by doing what she calls “the lecturers happy dance” discretely by the door after everything wraps up with a lecture, often after 10 p.m.

“People don’t appreciate how good she is at her job,” said Greer Brown, a senior on the Committee on Lectures as well as national and world affairs. “She’s always thinking about what’s best for the students.”

Miller is good enough at her job to have what she believes to be one of the best lecture series in the entire country.

Brown spent the first year and a half in college enrolled at Iowa, where she said she saw one lecturer and was standing during it.

Most colleges have between six to eight lectures a year.

“We always say [those colleges are] wusses,” Miller said.

The lectures series at Iowa State has topped out at 177 lecturers in a year.

Those hundreds of lecturers a year translate to hundreds of stories from people who have made their mark on this world. In 35 years, Miller has heard thousands of impactful stories and met thousands of impactful people.

“I have to write a book,” Miller said.

“Maybe I’ll do it in my spare time. Between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m.”

The question that keeps popping up in the community is whether there is a better way to provide a high level of service to the community, Kyras said.

“So that’s a question we’re trying to get answered with the study,” Kyras said. “We started the process in mid-July and [the consultant] came in at the end of August.”

The university has asked that CyRide look at what it would be like if buses didn’t travel through the heart of campus, specifically Osborn Drive, Kyras said.

Osborn Drive has seen several changes recently to accommodate for the student growth, Madden said.

Parking was eliminated on Osborn because of the conflicts between all of the vehicles and movement, particularly during class change periods, Madden said.

“There were people that had concerns about the safety of students crossing the street with all of the traffic and buses,” Madden said.

A model being considered would have places on the campus where buses drop people off, though it might not continue the route that goes through Osborn.

“But you could have a drop-off point, for example, at the Memorial Union. One of the discussions has been at the end of

STUGOV p1 to represent the views of everything that does happen.”

Smith indicated to the Senate that he was more concerned with the quality of the decided candidates more than he was the quantity; however, he is still dedicating his time and efforts to filling the open chair positions. “[PR] is an important part of this body, and I know that we play an important role with how Student Government looks across the rest of campus,” Smith said.

At this point, the floor was opened up for a vote to decide if Smith was suitable for the position, which resulted in an unanimously positive poll.

With this, Smith was sworn in as Public Relations chair and remained at the podium to briefly describe his plans as to running the senate position.

Osborn, have a turn around,” Madden said.

CyRide also wants consultants to look at what they don’t know or haven’t looked at yet in an effort to improve CyRide, Kyras said.

“They’re very familiar with a lot of our peers,” Kyras said.

The growth of the student population was the catalyst to the call for change in CyRide routes.

“With the growth and demand, the questions is, are their more efficient or effective ways to operate,” Madden said.

With Iowa State having consistent record-breaking years in the student population, student fees allow them to be able to use CyRide for free.

“Nobody’s coming to any particular conclusions at this point,” Madden said.

The data collection should be done by the middle of November and have the consultants go through with ideas for initial proposals by January for public input, Kyras said.

Students, faculty and staff should provide input by following CyRide’s website, Kyras said.

The transit board for the City of Ames will meet at 7:30 a.m. Thursday for its monthly meeting at the CyRide office off University Boulevard.

Also introduced during Wednesday’s meeting was the purchase plan for Student Government polos.

The bill passed, and the 17 polos were scheduled to be ordered for those in Student Government who didn’t already own one.

The shirts were to be paid directly from the Special Projects Account — an amount that totaled $350.

The bill, “Student Government Collaborative Efforts for Gorilla Conservation,” was indefinitely postponed by a unanimous vote.

George Micalone, director of the Student Activities Center, introduced during the meeting the new concept of Co-Curricular Transcripts (CCTs), which can be found and filled out at www.cct.iastate.edu.

CCTs are online, student-directed forms of university transcripts.

The transcripts — after being filled out, created and designed by students individually — are then

Along with Ames, she campaigned in Des Moines, Fort Dodge and attended a phone bank in Waterloo.

The Clinton campaign is also dispatching other surogates in the state this week, including actor Sean Astin.

The event Wednesday was a part of the Campaign 2016 Series, which, according to the lectures program website, provides the university and community with opportunities to question candidates or their surrogates before the November election.

The series is sponsored by the College Democrats, College Republicans, Student Government and the Committee on Lectures.

verified by various staff members in order to provide the students with an official Iowa State University recommendation.

“We have created a couple of help pages on the Student Activities Center website for department users and for student users to navigate the system,” Micalone said.

Some of the bills introduced during new business — those that are to be discussed next Wednesday in the Campanile Room of the Memorial Union at 7 p.m.

— involved a Student Government Polo Program, which will allow the Student Government members to be provided with polos when they are needed rather than having to propose a new bill, the future Men’s Volleyball Club debt contract, and several funding bills including, but not limited to, the Ladies in Fitness Training and the Puerto Rican Student Association.
