Engineering department celebrates 100th year By Lauren.Vigar @iowastatedaily.com The chemical and biological engineering program at Iowa State turned 100 last week. The department celebrated this occasion with two days of festivities on campus. “It only happens once,” said Andrew Hillier, chairman of the department and Wilkinson Professor of Interdisciplinary Engineering. “The department has had a really long, successful history, and it’s a good chance to reflect on what we’ve done.” Hillier said the department started with only one class of chemical engineering, and graduated two students its first year. Now, the program has more than 4,000 undergraduates. The department presented new, renovated spaces to the alumni at this celebration. “Almost a dozen alumni have [donated funds for] recently renovated spaces or are about to in Sweeney Hall,” said Chris Neary, communication specialist for civil, construction and environmental engineering. The alumni are helping fund students currently in the program. “They come back and want to invest their time, energy and resources in helping us to maintain and grow and continue to produce high quality graduates,” Hillier said. One of the accomplishments of the department is the Engineering Research Center for Biorenewable Chemicals, which is the only research center at Iowa State funded by the National Science Foundation. “We’re at record levels of enrollment,” Hillier said, adding it as another accomplishment he says is significant. Hillier said he has some goals of his own for the next 100 years of this department. “I feel very strongly that a strong department is one that is strong across the board,” Hillier said. “We need to grow the graduate student

Music ages through the

By Cole.Komma @iowastatedaily.com

When the music stops, the stages clear out and the sweat gets mopped up, all that is left are the marks of a weekend of passionate musicians and adoring music lovers. The Maximum Ames Music Festival 2013 run by Maximum Ames Records comes to a close for this third consecutive year. Every year the festival has increased in popularity and has featured more prominent acts. “This has definitely been the best Max Ames fest that we have ever had,” said Nate Logsdon, co-creator of the festival. “Musically as well as the organization of it, the flow of the festival, the vibe. ... This has

been a beautiful, beautiful year.” Last year, Ames Auditorium housed the music of Jeff Mangum and Wanda Jackson both whom are regarded as legends to fans of the alternative and rockabilly genres, respectively. This year on the third day of the festival, Ames Auditorium went back to the 1960s with the Zombies who are most known for their 1968 album “Odessey” and “Oracle,” which featured the song “Time Of The Season.” “Day three of [the festival] 2013 was one of the best days of music we’ve had in Max Ames history so far,” Logsdon said “[The Zombies] delivered last night, that was one of the most spectacular performances, not only in the history of Max Ames, but in the history of

Ames. That will go down in history.” Jordan Mayland, member of local bands the Wheelers and Jordan Mayland and the Thermal Detonators, opened for the Zombies and said the festival’s increase in popularity is well deserved. “I think it’s a long time coming, honestly,” Mayland said. “I think it’s great. Ames, especially the music community, deserves it. There’s a lot of interesting and talented musicians constantly coming through and creating, and new bands and record labels and recording studios. ... Bi Fi and all these record labels popping

Marathon does, why the participants do what they do, and to answer any questions and help people get registered if they so choose. “The main part is just getting the Dance Marathon name out there,” said Derek Lacina, recruitment officer for Dance Marathon. “Our goal is to take over the entire campus and reach all 33,000-plus students in one week.” Each dancer has the opportu-

done in order for the organization to meet the goals they have for the event. This week is what Dance Marathon calls Miracle Week. Miracle Week is a week full of different activities, games, events and sales on campus, all dedicated to making students aware of what Dance Marathon is.

With lights beaming down and music blaring, models strut with confidence down the runway, transforming the Great Hall into a fashionable stage showcasing this year’s Project Runway event. Based off the hit television show, Iowa State’s Project Runway embodies the creative spirit of students in Ames. For the ninth consecutive year, the Student Union Board has hosted Project Runway. The event was open to students of any major, and teams were composed of up to six ISU students. Enrolled teams had eight hours to construct an ensemble based on this year’s theme, which was “Survival.” Students’ mornings were spent creating and sewing; designs were later critiqued by judges and finally sent down the runway at the event’s fashion show.

To some, constructing apparel pieces in eight hours seems unrealistic, but the seven teams of students defeated the stigma and created fresh, fashionable garments within their time constraint. Fueled with caffeine, excitement and anticipation, students gathered at 8 a.m. Sunday to begin the whirlwind day. Aryana Gathings, junior in apparel, merchandising and design, absorbed the atmosphere around her during the day. “It was really hectic,” Gathings said. “We had quite a few setbacks with one of our sewing machines breaking down but we persevered and made sure everything got finished.” After showcasing the seven creations on the runway, judges Joshua McKinley, from season

By Logan.Kahler @iowastatedaily.com In late April, Cassidy Williams, senior in computer science, received the news that she would be included in a team of 100 of the brightest individuals in the United States to be on an 11-hour, British Airways flight from San Francisco to London. On the plane ride, Williams and her group had to come up with a concept that they wanted to pitch, something that would cause social change. Williams’ group formulated a pitch: a community where women in science, technology, energy and mathematics could get advice and learn more about STEM. Williams’ group was victorious. Later that week, they presented their concept at the DNA Summit, and the next day, Williams was back in Ames. Just this past weekend, Williams was invited to the United Nations in New York, where she and two of her teammates from the trip will present their concept about women in STEM. “I didn’t think it would change me as much as it did,” Williams said. “It was empowering. It feels like I can make more of an impact than I thought I could.” Due to Williams’ involvement with the National Center for Women and Information Technology, she was invited on the flight to London.

Participants needed to be considered innovators to be eligible people with ideas or the network for social change. “The focus was on the impact of STEM and women in STEM and STEM education; it just screamed for [Williams] to be there,” said Kelly Hoey, director of Women Innovate Mobile and a participant on the British Airways trip. The group of 100 people were divided into four categories, but were all aiming for the same goal: To bridge the gap in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). The four groups were competing for a chance to present their pitch at the Decide Now Act Summit in London. Some of the participants on this trip included, Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist and the vice president of GitHub. While brainstorming on the flight, Williams suggested mentorship and because of her fresh perspective as a student, the only one on the flight, her team agreed. The group’s concept emphasized mentorship, sponsorship and scholarship. The winners of the competition would present its winning pitch at a few different conferences including the DNA Summit. “The trip was very meaningful; my thoughts about women in STEM have changed a lot,” Williams said.

Klassic raises $3,400 to prevent child abuse By Brian.Keck @iowastatedaily.com Kappa Delta sorority hosted its KD Klassic, a golf tournament to raise money for its philanthropy. All the proceeds raised in the tournament will go toward preventing child abuse. Roughly 80 percent will go to Prevent Child Abuse Iowa, with the remaining 20 percent going to Prevent Child Abuse America. On Saturday, ISU students and members of the Ames community met at Veenker Memorial Golf Course for the Klassic. The event cost $65 for adults, $55 for students or $50 for students who signed up as a group of four. This price included 18 holes of golf, a cart, snack bag, prizes and a meal at the end of the event. Kappa Delta raised $3,400 from the event. Prevent Child Abuse Iowa gives parents resources to be more involved with their children and offers them helpful workshops, said Ashley Beers, junior in speech communication and member of Kappa Delta. Prevent Child Abuse Iowa helps fund programs in the state like providing youth shelters and other different programs across the state, said Molly McCarthy, vice president of community service of Kappa Delta. Despite the rain, 37 participants teed off at 1 p.m. The adult winners received two free night stays at the Hyatt Place in Des Moines, while the student winners received a home

cooked meal by the members of Kappa Delta. Other prizes given were from stores such as Raygun, The Café, Black Market Pizza, Casey’s General Store, Vera Bradley and more. Kappa Delta plans on continuing this event in future years, McCarthy said. “I feel like it’s something different going on, not typical run of the mill philanthropy event,” McCarthy said. Students and adults were able to play golf while also benefiting their community. “It’s a good cause and makes people feel better,” said Pauline Zielinski, freshman in event management and member of Kappa Delta. “[It] shows what kind of people you are”. Many sororities and fraternities like Kappa Delta organize similar philanthropies to give back to

the Ames community. “It’s a great way to give back,” said Christina Pfohl, sophomore in marketing and member of Kappa Delta. “Preventing the problem is the most important step in raising awareness and making sure abuse never happens in the first place.” Children develop their habits and learn who they are at an early age, that is why it is so important to prevent child abuse, Pfohl said. Philanthropy events are ways for students to give back and become more involved in their community. It is especially important at a young age to know that there are a lot of people who are not as fortunate as you are, said Ruth Boehmer, a participant in the Klassic. Kappa Delta hopes to make its KD Klassic an annual philanthropic event.

For Brown and Ramsey alone the crowds of the festival reminds all that Maximum Ames Festival is not just for students but for the community of Ames in general.

Every penny raised by every dancer goes directly toward the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital by way of the Children’s Miracle Network. This year, Dance Marathon has set a goal of raising $465,000. “Our theme this year is ‘Together We Stand,’ so we tried to kind of embrace that branding,” said Jessica Pearce, co-director of the organization. “Everyone is welcome to participate in Dance Marathon, and everyone is welcome to get involved further with Dance Marathon,” After a student’s first year of dancing, there are many opportunities to stay involved with Dance Marathon.

Dance Marathon isn’t necessarily a dance, or a marathon, but a celebration of life.” Jessica Pearce, co-director of ISU Dance Marathon

highlighted up-and-coming artists such Dylan Boyle, of Burlington, Iowa, and the Pines. A blues player, Boyle had an emotional howl that resonated to a shocked crowd earlier in the evening Friday night at the London Underground. “[Blues] is very emotional music; there’s a lot of soul and emotion in it,” Boyle said. “I think it’s really cool that they’re playing because it is a great sound. It’s a historic sound that was really developed in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s in Iowa. And it’s still going, there are artists, especially in eastern Iowa, that are still doing that.” From the wail of guitars to the deep thump of a drum machine, electronic music has started once again to resurface in pop music. Bands/artists such as the Hood Internet, the Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt and local band Trouble Lights came to enchant the crowd with catchy dance beats.

Adrien Daller, lead singer of Trouble Lights who opened for the Hood Internet, showed an enthusiasm for the community of Ames and the growing popularity of the Maximum Ames Festival. “Having bigger bands come here to places [has] some importance on the community,” Daller said. “It reminds them that awesome things are happening in their hometown, that plenty of important people that they consider famous are coming to this town, you can make anything happen you want to in this town, and Maximum Ames is a perfect example of that.” As far as the future of the festival? The plan, said Logsdon and Chris Ford of Christopher the Conquered, is to stay the course and keep increasing the attendance of the festival. “With the festival, I think just staying on the path and building the brand and getting more people here, that’s the main

thing,” Ford said. After Sunday’s six band barrage at Deano’s and after some much needed rest, the plans for next year’s to begin to be formed, and Maximum Ames Music Festival will be here again with more music, more people and more sweat.

There’s a lot of interesting and talented musicians constantly coming through and creating.” Jordan Mayland, member of the Wheelers

Register for Dance Marathon To register for Dance Marathon, students can go to the following link: www.helpmakemiracles.org/index.

The organization has almost 200 committees that second-year members can apply for. Committees range from community to development to public relations and everything in between. Over the years, ISU Dance Marathon has raised more than $1.5 million for the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital. Along with that, the money goes to help over 80 families throughout the state of Iowa. “It’s a really neat experience as a college student to give back to an organization that means so much to other people, and that you can visibly see how much of an impact it has,” Pearce said. Even though the event in January is meant to be fun, Dance Marathon members said they want students to remember what the main reason for the event is: the kids. “Dance Marathon isn’t necessarily a dance, or a marathon, but a celebration of life,” Pearce said.

Editorial

Disconnect to appreciate our campus With the trees just beginning to change color and the wide green lawn of Central Campus abuzz with students and scampering squirrels, the walk from Curtiss Hall toward the old stone columns of Beardshear is breathtaking. The turrets of Catt Hall stand tall above the trees, and the sun casts a long shadow under the historic Campanile. But it is only breathtaking for those who actually allow themselves to experience it. Hundreds of students walk this stretch of sidewalk every passing period, jamming along to their iPods, sending text messages and talking on the phone. Out of almost 50 students observed on one bright, September morning, we observed fewer than 10 students walking to class unhindered by technology and noise. We regularly get lost in our own virtual conversations, checking our Facebook updates for the latest photo to “like,” texting friends to tell them our lecture stories, and making sure we aren’t missing something hilarious on Reddit. We listen to our headphones on our way to class and on our way home, shutting out the people around us with our music and podcasts, and we call friends from building to building, bored by the 12 minute walk between Howe and Hamilton halls. We are all pros at shutting out the world and our surroundings. But what we should really be doing is appreciating our award-winning ISU campus. Iowa State was listed as one of three American Society of Landscape Architects “medallion” sites. And our 20-acre Central Campus was recognized as one of the top 25 most beautiful campuses in the nation, in the book “The Campus as a Work of Art.” We have several buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, countless pieces by artists such as Christian Peterson and, of course, a couple of beautiful swans to make our campus awesome. Iowa State is nationally recognized for its beautiful campanile, home to the Stanton Memorial Carillon. The bells of the Campanile have been ringing since 1898, and continue to play famous tunes every lunch hour, from the classic 1812 Overture to the theme from the popular television show “Game of Thrones.” We can’t truly appreciate the old bell tower’s version of Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl” when we’re tuned out, lost in our own music and phone conversations. Our campus is 490 acres of trees, well-groomed gardens, unique buildings and wildlife. Another important reason to remain aware of our surroundings on campus is simple: to stay safe. When our fingers are busy tapping away, with our eyes focused on the screen in front of us, rather than the street we’re crossing, we become a hazard to traffic. When we’re silently jamming out to Daft Punk, we can’t hear the biker coming up from behind or the CyRide bus motoring up the road to our right. And during those late night walks back to our dorm room, if we’re too deep in a phone conversation or scrolling mindlessly through our Facebook newsfeed, we won’t notice the family of raccoons watching quietly from the side of the road. Before the invention of earbuds and cellphones, people talked to each other on their way to class; they walked with friends and classmates. Or, they listened to the world around them, taking in others’ conversations, and using those few precious moments between lectures to clear their heads and think. Spending a few extra minutes each day to appreciate the beauty of our landgrant university or simply taking the time to mentally prepare for the rest of the day would be beneficial for all of us. We are seizing every opportunity we can to distance ourselves from the magnificence of Iowa State’s campus, from its historic buildings and immense acreage to the campanile’s resounding song. To really value our time at Iowa State, we need to start shutting the noise out — and letting the world in.

Why I

write

By Michael.Glawe @iowastatedaily.com

A sobering fact about writing for a college newspaper is only a small portion of the student population will actually care enough to read your piece. Even more disheartening is the likelihood that many of those who commit to reading will only survive halfway through the column before moving onto something “more exciting.” The futility of the whole matter gives way to endless scoff and scorn. In response, I say, “Good.” As a warrior of the opinion section, my conditions for victory demand very little. If what I write affects the perception of one measly individual, just one, I will be supremely happy. Although it can be quite difficult to gauge the size of my audience (I presume it to be meager) or the potency of my voice, there are much greater reasons to apply pen to paper. As the character V from the movie “V for Vendetta” declares: “Words offer the means to meaning and, for those who will listen, the annunciation of truth.” Writing gives us more than an instrument by which we communicate thoughts and ideas. It also provides the avenue by which our words create perspective, and in doing so, we make an incomprehensible world comprehensible. Shortly, as Robert McKee put it, “making sense out of the chaos.” In a way, writing is our very being. Veterans of the trade, only in different

forms, tell young writers: “You must find your voice.” No writer would find this to be idle talk. Personally, I don’t think I could function properly if I were to lose my capacity to write. But this dependency is not by my choosing. As my favorite writer Christopher Hitchens once said: “If you’re going to write, it must not be that you want to do it, or would like to do it, it must be a thing you have to do — it must be the thing that without which you cannot live.” There is no opting out of it — writing is apart of me as much as breathing. Oddly, I feel liberated. Some will cut to the quick and say: “Well, why don’t you keep your writing to yourself then?” Well, I could certainly keep my mouth shut and write in a diary all day or, dare I say, start a blog, but what is the point in a “perspective” if it cannot be shared? As a columnist, I like telling a story under a fresher context, while fortifying the underlying argument. I enjoy even more the nights I spend hacking to pieces the popular narrative only to rebuild it into something not of redundancy or plagiarism, but a beast entirely of its own. That is worthwhile to me. It must be admitted, though, that I have a not so subtle obsession with argument (as probably indicated in my last column about Socrates). However, my wish to cull the minds of the readers is not always satisfied. Upon submitting my piece to the editor, the die is cast — my credibility then rests

upon the fair-minded. The reception is never fully anticipated, even with my best columns, but it is the contribution to the conversation that is important. I have been driven to insanity wondering if anyone is actually listening to what I have to say. What impact can a mere college student have on national discussions anyway? While I have a nasty tendency to, as they say, “punch above my weight,” it is my hope both to inform and to persuade my fellow students with the smidgen of experience I do have. Last week, I was sitting outside of the library, drinking my vanilla latte and listening to more of the charlatan drivel I deeply loathe. Earlier that week I had submitted a column decrying these religious hucksters ruining the free-speech zone. My intent was to inspire students to argue like Socrates. To my delight, students stopped to argue with the man, wielding the Socratic method as their weapon of choice. One of these students was a colleague of mine, who, after dancing the man into a logical trap, told me he had done so in the spirit of my column. When asked what impact my writing could possibly have and if it is even worth it, I am reminded of the ending scene to the movie “Cloud Atlas.” The stern Haskell Moore mutters: “And for what? For what? No matter what you do, it will never amount to anything more than a single drop in a limitless ocean.” To which Adam Ewing responds: “What is any ocean but a multitude of drops?”

Beginning on Sept. 30, the yearly campuswide game of humans vs. zombies begins its eerie dominion over the university.

Impending ISU zombie apocalypse highlights our love of the undead By Emily.Krueger @iowastatedaily.com I might be dying to go to Hobby Lobby to buy a bandana this year — literally. Beginning on Sept. 30, the yearly campuswide game of Humans vs. Zombies begins its eerie dominion over the university. The game is simple: Red bandana equals human; green bandana equals zombie. Obviously, the zombies chase humans. If you are “eaten” you become a zombie. “Humans” can even make sock weapons to defend themselves against the hungry flesh-eaters, “stunning” them for a few seconds to make a quick escape. Hence, beginning in only a few short days, the ISU zombie apocalypse comes to a head — and a brain — as students with red bandanas wrapped around their arms strategically dash towards the safety of their classes. The university buildings become

more widely known as “safe zones,” with a horde of green-clad sleepwalkers trailing behind students as they take refuge. In the past century, we have been introduced to a world where the zombie fan base is at its peak. The past five years have brought America movies such as “Warm Bodies” and “World War Z,” and TV shows like “The Walking Dead” that have plagued television and newspapers across the nation. Zombie survival guides, zombie marathons and even zombie energy drinks have trudged their way into people’s hearts and homes in a most peculiar way. A normal response to this phenomenon is simply to overlook the underlying factors and enjoy popcorn and a movie. But something awakens the inner investigative journalist in me. Something about the possibility of the undead awakens a curiosity and a course of anticipation through viewers’ minds. It is that lingering ques-

tion, the “What if?” of the story. What if there were a pandemic that wiped out almost the whole world population? What if I were one of the few who survived? What if a worldwide zombie apocalypse actually happened? Then again, maybe the answer is not left in the “What if this happened?” but rather the knowledge that it could happen — that someday the end of the world will happen. The curiosity regarding the Armageddon or a worldwide apocalypse leads to an even bigger query. What makes people dwell on the topic so devoutly? Movies such as “2012,” “I Am Legend,” “After Earth” and countless other titles are obsessed with the thought of the end, even venturing to question what would happen after it is all over. Does a new beginning arise from the ashes? I find it interesting that many of these movies always end with mankind’s heroic persevering exis-

tence. Never is humanity completely wiped out. We, humans, have made ourselves play God. Could it be that the apocalypse strikes a nerve within our melodramatic pride, cutting back to the reason for our existence? In the light of the world ending, could humankind be tracing back to what really matters — the reality of faith in something? Whether that is belief in a god, the God or some deity within yourself, everyone reaches back to that one thing that gives them security in a world of uncertainty; it is a truth I believe is planted deep inside every human being. On Sept. 30, the campus will be swarming with undead entertainment. During the chaos of it all, I hope that my words give students the enticement to search out answers to their persistent questions — and to really take some time to ponder our existence. Because you never know. Tomorrow could be too late.

Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily Senior Tenisha Matlock goes for a kill with an assist from sophomore Jenelle Hudson. The Cyclones defeated the Baylor Bears 3-0 on Saturday at Hilton Coliseum for first conference win.

ISU improves with Big 12 opener vs. Baylor Cyclones sweep Bears with solid defense from Hahn By Maddy.Arnold @iowastatedaily.com One month into the season, Iowa State finally got its first win at home. After losing four out of five matches while in nonconference play, the ISU volleyball team has bounced back with wins against Iowa and then Baylor on Saturday. Iowa State has shown signs of improvement as it entered Big 12 play. Iowa State (7-4) beat Baylor (8-9) in straight sets in its first conference match. The Cyclones got their fourth sweep of the season when they defeated the Bears (25-14, 25-19, 25-17). “We were solid throughout the whole match. I thought our defense was huge,” said sopho-

more middle blocker Tory Knuth. “Jenelle [Hudson] did a great job throwing up balls for our hitters, and I thought it was all around good play.” ISU coach Christy JohnsonLynch said she saw improvement from a few different players during the game against Baylor including sophomore right side hitter Mackenzie Bigbee, junior outside hitter Victoria Hurtt and senior libero Kristen Hahn. Bigbee led Iowa State offensively against Baylor. She had 11 digs during the match with a .385 hit percentage, well above her season average of .267 before Saturday. “We’ve been asking more of [Bigbee], expanding her role, letting her go back and serve, attack out of the back row,” JohnsonLynch said. “She’s still not real comfortable, but we’re going to move closer and closer to her having a lot of confidence.” Hurtt was not far behind with 10 kills and a .375 hit per-

centage on the afternoon. Before the match, she averaged only 2.61 kills per set this season. Hahn leads the Big 12 in digs per set with 5.44. During the match with Baylor she averaged 7 digs per set and had 21 total in the match. “I thought Victoria Hurtt had a really nice match, just really made nice decisions on attack,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I thought Hahn was actually pretty spectacular back there. She averaged seven digs a game. That’s pretty remarkable.” In addition to individual players, Johnson-Lynch said she has seen improvement from the team as a whole against Baylor. The Cyclones hit .300 against Baylor, something they have only done three other times this season. Before the Saturday’s match, Iowa State led the Big 12 in services aces with 66 on season and averaged 1.69 per set. The Cyclones added another eight to their total after the win against the Bears.

“I thought we were able to get in a rhythm right away, and our focus is definitely shifting in a positive direction towards a Big 12 championship,” Hahn said. I think this is just a good start.” This season, Iowa State has struggled with its passing skills and its out-of-system play, when someone besides the setter has to set the ball. Johnson-Lynch said both have improved so far this season. Even though Iowa State has shown plenty of improvement in the first month of its season, the Cyclones still struggle with blocking. During the Baylor game, Iowa State did not have a single block, and it currently is last in the Big 12 in that category. “It was a pretty low blocking game from both sides. … We don’t necessarily care if we block the ball or we dig it in transition for a kill. Can we keep our opponents to a low hitting percentage?” Johnson-Lynch said. “It continues to be a work in progress for us.”

First conference game nets 2-1 loss to Texas Tech Side judge’s ruling gives Raiders 6th-straight win By Beau.Berkley @iowastatedaily.com As Iowa State gets underway in the Big 12, the soccer team will do so with a loss. The Cyclones (6-5, 0-1 Big 12) dropped a close 2-1 match to No. 15 Texas Tech on Friday in front of a record crowd of 1,574. For the Red Raiders (10-1, 1-0 Big 12), it was their sixth win in a row since losing to Long Beach State by a score of 3-2. After ceding two early goals, Iowa State managed to rally back late in the second half off of a Haley Albert header. Iowa State continued to push the Red Raider defense back and keep them on their heels, but time ran out before the score could be leveled. “We talked this week about who we are and what defines us: team unity, chemistry and never giving up, and I think we saw that tonight,” said ISU coach Wendy Dillinger. “We’re going to continue to move forward and push forward, but you can’t ask for a lot more than the effort and fight that they put up tonight.” The Red Raiders came at the Cyclones early, connecting on strings of give and gos and finding open lanes in the deep third. Within the first minute of the game, Texas Tech was able to get off two shots-on-goal. Texas Tech finally hit pay dirt in the 23rd minute after capitalizing on a free kick. The ball was volleyed off a Red Raider player’s head in between the penalty spot and the 18 then arched over the arms of ISU goalkeeper Maddie Jobe as she came off of her line. The Red Raiders would go on to score again, but not after a bit of con-

Weekend record: 0-2

The ISU women’s soccer team gave up three second half goals and dropped its second conference game to Texas 3-1 in Austin, Texas, after losing to Texas Tech 2-1 on Friday in Ames. The Cyclones (6-6, 0-2 Big 12) went into the half in a scoreless game before allowing a Texas goal only five minutes into the second half. Texas struck again in the 62nd minute to increase its lead to 2-0. The Cyclones finally got on the board in the 83rd minute with a goal off the foot of senior defender Jessica Reyes assisted by freshman forward Koree Willer. It was the second-straight game that Iowa State scored in the 83rd minute while trailing 2-0. The Longhorns sealed the game on a goal off of a corner kick to prevent a late rally by the Cyclones. The goal off the corner kick is the sixth goal coming from a set piece this season. Goalkeeper Maddie Jobe recorded seven saves on Texas’ 15 shots. The Cyclones took 10 shots, recording five on goal. The Cyclones will host Kansas on Friday in their third conference game of the season. The game will kickoff at 7 p.m. at the Cyclone Sports Complex. — Alex Gookin, Daily staff writer

troversy. As Jobe leaped up to make a save, the side judge ruled that as she caught the ball, the ball crossed over the goal line, resulting in a point for the Red Raiders. “It was really hard when they called that second goal, but we came back really well as a team to show that something like that didn’t destroy us,” said senior midfielder Emily Goldstein. “We out-shot them, so I think it’s really good for us moving forward into the next games.” The second half started and the two

teams were in a stalemate until Jennifer Dominguez lined up for a corner kick in the 82nd minute. As the ball came down just in front of the penalty mark, sophomore Haley Albert took to the air and headed the ball in the back of the net. At 6 feet 1 inch, Albert is the tallest player for the Cyclones and said her size helped her get up to the ball before the defense.

“I just knew that there was a girl in front of me, so obviously with my height advantage I knew I could get in front of her and get above her,” Albert said. “It gave us some energy, kind of like a second wind. The bench got into it and it helps a lot when the fans are in it, too.” Iowa State’s next matchup will come against Kansas on Friday at the Cyclone Sports Complex.

Wind, rain fail to dampen team’s spirit at Roy Griak Runners step up to fill shoes in captain’s absence By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Amid the rain and the wind, the ISU women’s cross-country team came ready to compete on Saturday and took fifth place at the 28th annual Roy Griak Invitational this weekend. This meet marks the first major competition for the Cyclones, and their first 6K meet of the season. “We tried not to make this meet too big of a deal, because we want to keep improving. We don’t want to reach our peak now,” said ISU coach Andrea GroveMcDonough. “This is really the opener, and it was a solid day.” Crystal Nelson, the first Cyclone to finish the race, came in third overall with a time of 20:50. The Winchester, Va., native was competing in her first meet of the season. Nelson was leading the pack for a large portion of the race and was only 14 seconds off the leader. “I think I got a little excited when I pulled ahead to lead for a while,” Nelson said. “But I felt pretty good out there. We were really supportive of each other today.” This meet also marks the first for freshman Bethanie Brown, who finished 21st. While Brown’s performance might surprise some, it did not shock GroveMcDonough much. “Actually, that’s kind of what I expected from her,” Grove-McDonough said. “She’s a good runner, who can go out there and score us points. That’s what she did, and that’s hopefully what she will do for us in the future.”

Iowa State Daily

ISU cross-country runner Crystal Nelson makes her way down a slope during the 6K run during the NCAA Cross-Country National Championships last November. At this weekend’s Roy Griak Invitational, Nelson placed third overall and was the first Cyclone to finish the race.

But as for Brown, she had no idea what to expect for her first collegiate race. “I didn’t know what to really expect for my first time out there,” Brown said. “I just tried to stay calm and climb my way up. It was really cool to race with such good, fast competition.” Sophomore Perez Rotich finished 17th on Saturday, and co-captain Katy Moen took 28th. Ejiro Okoro was the next Cyclone to finish, coming in at 50th. The Cyclones were without senior co-

captain Samantha Bluske, who suffered a foot injury last week in practice. Bluske still traveled with the team and received support from her teammates on Twitter. “Sam is such a great leader on this team,” said co-captain Maggie Gannon. “Not having her is a huge loss to the team. But this is a chance for some new girls to step up and fill her shoes.” Iowa State finished ahead of three higher-ranked opponents this weekend, beating No. 20 Vanderbilt, No. 21 North

Carolina and No. 23 San Francisco. It was also one of five teams to have four runners finish among the top 30 individuals. While Grove-McDonough is proud of the team’s efforts, she noted that Iowa State’s work is not yet complete. “We need to keep building and really get after it between now and our next meet,” Grove-McDonough said. “We need to want to be better, and ultimately keep moving forward so we can be where we need to be come November.”

Women’s golf keeps high expectations for Windy City Classic Thammaraks pushes for 1st after last year’s 2nd-place finish By Trey.Alessio @iowastatedaily.com Old memories bring high expectations for one senior as the ISU women’s golf team prepares to travel to Evanston, Ill., for the Windy City Classic. Senior Prima Thammaraks recalled finishing in second place while playing as a freshman at the Windy City Classic. That lasting memory is what’s pushing Thammaraks toward her goal for the tournament this year. “Personally, [the Windy City Classic] is one of my favorite tournaments. I really love the course,” Thammaraks said. “This one could be special if I could win.” Thammaraks plans to have an aggressive attitude but have fun at the same time. Along with her ultimate goal of winning the tournament, Thammaraks also hopes to make fewer mistakes this week. Thammaraks finished in

10th place with a total score of 219 in last week’s Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational. The Cyclones have had a week of preparation after a third place finish at the Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational, and most of the players believed they could have finished better and in Albuquerque, N.M. Iowa State believes it will be going into the Windy City Classic with a chip on its shoulder. “We started good but could’ve finished better last week. Now we’re pumped to play good and go all the way,” said sophomore Cajsa Persson, who led the Cyclones last week with a total score of 218 and tied for seventh place. The Windy City Classic’s short course in Evanston is similar to the course the team played on in Albuquerque, which allows for more birdie opportunities as a team. During their week of practice, the Cyclones have been working on their short game and wedge shots. They have also been practicing on playing under pressure due to the big roughs on the upcoming course in the Windy City. Senior Sasikarn On-iam

has also had experience playing in this tournament after she played alongside Thammaraks as a freshman in the Windy City Classic. “We have a good feeling going into this tournament. We’ve

been working hard,” On-iam said. On-iam came in 11th place with a total score of 220 last week. She hopes to “finish strong” this week. Iowa State will be one of 18 teams participating in the Windy

City Classic on Monday and Tuesday. “The potential is endless,” Thammaraks said. “If we make fewer bogies and make fewer mistakes, we should be in a good position to win.”

Cyclones’ offense explodes in sweep of national champs, North Iowa By Jared.Stansbury @iowastatedaily.com One week ago against the Huntsville Havoc, Cyclone Hockey fell behind early and was forced to make a comeback.

This week against the defending Tier III junior A national champion North Iowa Bulls that was not the case. Iowa State scored six combined goals in the first periods of the two-game

series with the Bulls, on its way to a sweep by the scores of 4-2 and 7-4. “We exploded in the first period offensively,” said coach Al Murdoch. “We also shut them out. Matt Cooper played

extremely well in the first.” On Friday night, all four of Iowa State’s goals were scored by veteran players, but Saturday was a different story. Five of the seven ISU goals came off of the sticks of players new to the team. For Murdoch, it will be tough to keep the young guys off the ice as they move toward conference play. “If they keep showing up on the stat sheet like this, it would be crazy not to play them,” Murdoch said. “They are playing with a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of heart because they know there is somebody waiting in the wings to take their spot.” Junior forward Trevor Lloyd was a big part of the offense during the series with North Iowa. Lloyd picked up a goal and an assist on Friday night before scoring two more goals on Saturday night. “I felt like I had a pretty decent series,” Lloyd said. “I have to give a lot of credit to my line mates, Mark Huber and Mike Leskun. We have been clicking together, and it has worked out.” For Lloyd, one of the keys of the series was that Iowa State finished off the

chances they were given. “We were able to bury the puck when we got the chance,” Lloyd said. “Also I really liked how physical we were.” In the net for the Cyclones during the series was Cooper, junior goaltender. Cooper picked up the wins in both games of the series. “I wanted to take a shot at playing Matt in back to back games for a full 60 minutes,” Murdoch said. “I think we let him down a little late but it was great showing from him.”

ISU junior defenseman Antti Helanto felt that the scores were not a good representation of how the series really went. “They had a really good team,” Helanto said. “Their goalie was very good, but I think the score was a little flattering toward us. They are the defending national champs they are obviously very good.” Iowa State’s next series will officially begin Central States Collegiate Hockey League play for the Cyclones. Iowa State will hit the road to take on Illinois on Friday and Saturday.

McKinley spoke kindly of each team’s designs at the event.

Ultimately, Ackerman and McKinley chose the design from team MAK2 as the winning garment—a design inspired by surviving a radioactive explosion that came to life on the runway. The silhouette and fabric choice complimented the futuristic and high fashion aesthetic. MAK2 was a creative powerhouse made up of five team members: Mahagony Stanton, sophomore in apparel, merchandising and design; Andrea Tejada, junior in apparel, merchandising and design; Kaozong Lee, senior in apparel, merchandising and design; Erica Becker, senior in apparel, merchandising and design; and Kessehu James, senior finance.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Today is a 9 -- Share your dreams. Devise a plan, possibly including some delicious wandering. Stick within your budget. Avoid getting burned by too good of a deal. An older individual offers information. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 9 -- Play by the rules to win big. Find a treasure in your own stuff. Work out financial details. If concerned or frightened, study and learn. Darkness evaporates under inspection with light. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 6 -- There are lots of good ideas floating around. Don’t rush into anything. You have a lot going on. Count your blessings. Heed a friend’s warning to be frugal. Provide information. Handle practical matters early.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is an 8 -- Don’t offer to pay for everyone. Someone else contributes, much to your amazement. Your partner has practical input. Fix something (or replace it) at home. Consider all possibilities, and save funds for a rainy day.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is an 8 -- Take care of business. There’s a disagreement about priorities. Work out a better budget that includes something it was missing. Trust your imagination. Offer advice only if asked. Test your psychic impressions. Notice what’s blocking your path.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7 -- Don’t overextend. Home is the best place. Avoid a cold or flu by resting and eating well. Investigate new options in your game. Friends offer good advice. Chaos could swirl.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 9 -- Postpone a date or purchase. Consider lots of points of view. Don’t spend on games. Follow your intuition. Recent innovations work out well, with positive developments. Don’t brag about your good fortune.

Sudoku

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7 -- Consider all possibilities, including consequences, before you accept a challenge. If emotions get low, just acknowledge that. A work trip can incorporate pleasure, even if it’s challenging. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7 -- Take advantage of difficult circumstances. Distance yourself from emotions in order to choose freely. Don’t interfere with another’s plan. Listen to all their considerations. Consider the ramifications.
