Thriving crops A conversation: Ag Secretary Bill Northey By Mikaela.Simpson @iowastatedaily.com
Tyler Coffey/Iowa State Daily
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks in Des Moines on Thursday. Clinton spoke on early voting, which began this week in the state.
Agriculture is a booming business these days. In his 10 years in office, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey has seen evidence of this. In an interview with Northey on Thursday, he spoke to the Daily about the impact technology has had on the field of agriculture and what that means for the industry moving forward.
Clinton looks for early voters
INDUSTRY GROWTH “T he scale of agriculture in Iowa, my understanding of it anyway, has grown dramatically,” Northey said. Five years ago, farmers were looking for better technologies so they could figure out how to get the most out of their crop. Today, their success has surpassed what they thought they could achieve in five years. This scale has led to Iowa’s surplus of produce by drawing business to small-town farms. The main worry is no longer about coming out with the latest and greatest technology, but more focussed on company consolidation and competitor crops. With this change in production and mindset comes a change in demand. Crops are thriving, but that is changing demand within Iowa’s normal trading conglomerates. China is usually a big importer of Iowa corn, but its demand for the crop has been going down, while Iowa’s production rates continue to skyrocket.

FUEL PRICES AND ECONOMIC IMPACT
By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com
Many people have noticed the lower gas prices within the last year. A major concern for some Iowans is how this is going to affect the economy in the long run. Northey said that because everything has come full circle, this is not, in fact, hurting us. Gasoline prices went down from
DES MOINES — Hundreds of Hillary Clinton supporters gathered outside at Cowles Commons in Des Moines in anticipation of the Democratic candidate campaigning for Iowa voters to “get out and vote.” Thursday marks the first day of early Iowa voting, a 40-day period in which Iowans can vote in person and at satellite voting locations for who they’d like to see take office come January. Several Iowa politicians spoke before Clinton, including Congressional candidate Jim Mowrer and U.S. Senate candidate

Northey: We’re having ‘serious’ conversations on run for governor By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com As Terry Branstad serves out his recordsetting reign as governor, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey said Thursday that he is having “serious” conversations about a run for the position. Northey made his comments Thursday during a sit-down interview with the Iowa State Daily. “We are having conversations...[it’s] not something that needs to be decided yet,” Northey said “There was a time [where] I would have just said...I was not interested. It was not something I felt that I was ready for or that I could contribute to. “It’s something we’re in serious conversations with folks now,” he said. Northey, a Republican, has been secretary of agriculture in Iowa since 2006. He won a narrow race when first elected in 2006, but has easily been reelected in 2010 and 2014. “When I came to this job, I just wanted to be secretary of agriculture, which was a pretty big deal and seemed like it was more than enough,” he said Thursday. “As you get around it, there are lots of ways to make a postive difference. You’re able to kind of understand what it takes and the kind of people that you need to have around you to be able take something like that on.” Northey said conversations are ongoing, but a final decision has yet to be made. “There’s a lot to putting a campaign together, to understanding what you bring and how to articulate that,” he said. “We’re doing the kinds of things that give us the option of potentially doing it without making that decision about doing it or not.”

Former student avoids jail in sexual assault By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com A former Iowa State student accused in a 2014 sexual assault pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and was sentenced to two years probation in Story County Court on Thursday. Patrick Whetstone, 21, the defendant in the 2014 sexual assault that occurred on campus, pleaded guilty on charges of assault with intent to commit sexual assault, an aggravated misdemeanor. Judge James McGlynn said he believed the sentence was an appropriate resolution that would
protect the community and allow Whetstone to be rehabilitated, according to the Associated Press. Whetstone’s victim, Melissa Maher, 21, who is also a former Iowa State student and has filed a lawsuit against the university for what she says was the mishandling of her sexual assault, issued a statement to her attacker during the sentencing. “It’s been 914 days since you shattered my college career, put it on hold and touched my soul in a way that haunts me in my sleep,” Maher told Whetstone, reading from a two-page typed statement, according to the AP. “My life has been completely changed because
you wanted to have your fifteen minutes of fun.” While it is typically against the Daily’s policy to not identify the victims of sexual assault, Maher’s attorney Andrew Zbaracki said that Maher has consented to the use of her name. “Don’t you ever mess with another woman. Don’t you ever touch another girl. No means no,” Maher told Whetstone. The assault against Maher took place in March 2014 at a Frederiksen Court apartment on the Iowa State campus. She reported the incident to ISU Police the day after, however, Whetstone was not charged for the crime until Janu-
ary 2015. According to court documents, Whetstone “should have known she was too intoxicated to consent.” Whetstone was orginially charged for third degree sexual abuse, a class C felony punishable up to 10 years in prison. The documents further state that Whetstone was “sound of mind” at the time he committed the crime and did an act “intended to cause pain or injury” that could result in physical contact that is insulting or offensive to his victim, along with placing his victim in

Officers add to discussion over racial unrest By Danielle.Gehr @iowastatedaily.com The United States has a growing climate of mistrust when it comes to police. This stigma leaves many at a loss when it comes to finding a solution. The ISU Police Department is trying to get closer to solving these issues by starting a conversation. This was put into action Thursday night at Lebaron Hall in an open forum with the ISU Police multicultural liaison officers. “I think what we’re doing is going to serve a purpose to you and also the ISU and Ames community,” said officer Dwight Hinson. Last fall, after a rally for presidential candidate Donald Trump that caused racial unrest on the Iowa State campus, ISU Police put together an initiative in order
to bridge the gap between police and Iowa State students. The initiative is made up of three officers — Natasha Greene, Nick Grossman and Dwight Hinson. Each one of them made sure to create a safe, open environment where students and staff who attended could speak their mind. The CSOs made a decision to wear their uniforms instead of the more casual option, polos, because students often see them in uniform. Before starting the unstructured, unscripted conversation, the officers listed the ground rules. This included being conscious of body language when speaking and being considerate of others’ differing opinions, stating that the goal is not to agree. “Don’t hold anything against us and don’t hold anything back,” Hinson said.
After a moment of silence for those who have died this year and an opportunity for the room to discuss among themselves their views on police cruelty, Hinson started by posing the question, “What are your feelings when you hear the word police?” This was one of the only questions that the police posed, and the rest of the discussion was mainly dictated by those who attended. Some attendees who spoke posed questions while others brought up personal experiences. It was a discussion that became tearful on the attendees’ side, often involved criticism for the officers, but was never met with anger; students and staff voiced their opinions freely. ISU Police have made steps to become more aware of implicit bias such as taking part in IS-
CORE, which was an event held at Iowa State in order to make it a more inclusive environment. Despite this, many students were still concerned that the ISU Police do not have ongoing training on specifically dealing with these issues. “At the academy, honestly, [implicit bias] wasn’t talked about,” Greene said. “I’m a little bit of a loud mouth so I might of brought it up a few times and we had some conversations, but that’s not at our state level yet.” Interim Assistant Vice President and Chief of Police Aaron Delashmutt also was there to offer his input into the discussion. “We appreciate your feedback, that’s exactly what we need,” he said. “There are bad people in every facet of life and we’re just trying to show — and I know that we need to prove we’re trying to show — that not all police were

bad.” Over the course of the twohour forum, attendees brought up several different issues that were discussed in depth, including racial profiling, diversity within the department and police training. Gun use was a major topic that was brought up numerous times throughout the night. The main purpose of the forum was to start the conversation, and over time, earn the trust of the student body and avoid the racial unrest prevalent at schools like Missouri. The multicultural liaison team plans to hold more forums similar to the one held Thursday night. Questions that students may have for the officers can be asked through their email, Community@ iastate.edu. They are open to any questions and want to keep the conversation going.

The ribbon for the Marston Hall Rededication is cut Thursday. Marston Hall had been closed since the summer of 2014 for interior renovations.

Marston Hall returns to service By Danielle.Gehr @iowastatedaily.com With the task of maintaining its historical integrity while supplying modern innovations, one of Iowa State’s oldest buildings has finished renovations and is ready to serve several more generations of students. Marston Hall, home to Iowa State’s College of Engineering for the past century, was officially reopened at a rededication ceremony held Thursday evening. The ceremony was held just outside Marston Hall, and Sarah Rajala, dean of the College of Engineering, started the event with her opening remarks. “With this majestic limestone facade and grand rotundum, Marston Hall has long symbolized the distinguished reputation of our world-class college,” Rajala said. “This iconic building reflects our proud history and the role in educating future generations of engineers.” The renovations started the summer of 2014 and the outcome left the exterior looking very much the same. The interior, on the other hand, was given a modern touch in order to better serve current and future students. Those working on the project did this to make sure they were honoring the original vision of the first dean of engineering at Iowa State, Anson Marston, whom the building eventually was named after. “He established Iowa State’s

foundation for high academic quality and pioneering discovery in the field of engineering,” said President Steven Leath, who followed Rajala’s opening remarks. Marston not only worked on the hall, originally named Engineering Hall, but also designed the Marston Water Tower and supervised the building of the Campanile. He also was behind the development of Iowa State’s sewage disposal system. Key speakers at the event were the donors who made the renovation possible, Jan Jessen and John Hayes. Both came from families that had multiple generations of Iowa State graduates and both expressed their admiration for the school and the newly improved Marston Hall. “We are thrilled with the final
result, which we saw for the first time just in the past few minutes,” Hayes said. “Thrilled, but not surprised because we’ve come to expect this level of excellence in everything that Iowa State does.” Nolan Dickson, senior in chemical engineering, also was asked to speak. “Now after 100 years of making students come to Marston Hall as the center for the College of Engineering, students are again making Marston their home,” Dickson said of the many resources that the building offers. The building provides classroom space, engineering career services and the dean’s administrative offices. There are also resources for future engineering students at the Harpole Welcome Center. The Harpole Welcome Center
is crucial in bringing in new students to the College of Engineering. In this building, students will first be introduced to the school as high school juniors and seniors during college visits. The significant aspect of this project is it is the first in Iowa State history to have the project architect, project engineer and project manager all be women. They also worked under Rajala, who is the first female dean of engineering. Another part of the project was the renovation of the Muses. The four Muses of Marston Hall stand at 8 feet tall in order to represent the departments the college had when it was built — civil engineering, mechanical engineering and physics and mining engineering. The project took on the challenge of staying true to the building historical charm while adding modern advances and necessities in order to better serve current and future students. Rojala said in her remarks that she believes they succeeded. Leath, when thanking those who worked on this project, said, “They worked tirelessly to ensure the historical integrity of this building is maintained while transforming into a 21st century learning environment.” The official opening of the building was on July 25. The rededication also served as an open house for the building, giving anyone interested a chance to see the building postrenovation.
immediate physical contact that could be “painful, injurious, insulting or offensive to her.” According to AP, Maher, who is now a community college student in her native state of Texas and recently engaged, said the plea agreement was “the best thing for me to go on with my life.” “Let’s count the number of times I’ve woken up in the middle of the night and found myself yelling, crying, kicking and screaming or swearing from the nightmares of you and your sad existence,” she said, according to the AP. “Or perhaps we could count the number of times you’ve ruined a date for me and my fiance because I have these awesome relapses of where I can’t stop reliving a memory from you.” Maher withdrew from classes for the remainder of spring 2014 following the assault and returned to her home in Texas. When she returned in fall 2014, Iowa State placed her in a Frederiksen Court apartment, one building away from the assailant, according to court documents. On top of Whetstone’s probation, he will be required to register as a sex offender, and face a special sentence that will commit him into the custody of the director of the Iowa Department of Corrections for 10 years with eligibility for parole. The case between Whetstone and Maher also led to Iowa State being investigated by the Department of Education following a complaint from Maher’s family. In regard to the lawsuit against Iowa State filed by Maher in early September, the university has yet to be served. She claims the school took an “unreasonable” amount of time to investigate and “actively” discouraged her from formally reporting the assault. Iowa State officials have yet to comment on the case or file a response. Whetstone is also currently involved in a lawsuit against Iowa State, the Board of Regents and the State of Iowa over his expulsion. The case is ongoing, but Whetstone claims Iowa State had no jurisdiction to expel him and bar him from re-entering because he was not a student when the action was taken.

Collier calls for action on refugee crisis By Emily.Hammer @iowastatedaily.com As an expert on developing markets, economist Paul Collier focuses his research on the economy in Africa. Much of it is dedicated to the causes and consequences of civil war, one of those consequences being the refugee crisis. On Thursday night in the Memorial Union, he spoke on the severity of this ongoing crisis. Beginning his lecture with the important difference between migrants and refugees, he drove home that migrants move for hope of what’s next, whereas refugees flee the disparity of what they’re leaving behind. “Refugees are not refugees by choice,” Collier said. “They’re
CLINTON p1 Patty Judge, along with Iowa Democratic Party Chair Andy McGuire. “Early voting is our key to victory in November,” McGuire said. Speaking for roughly 30 minutes, Clinton took to her regular stump speech to discuss her plans for infrastructure, family rights, the economy and her plans for college affordability. “We are starting to vote in Iowa today … we have what, 40 days? 39 days left?” Clinton said. “Each and every one of you have the chance [to guarantee] that we keep this country on the right
responding to a situation in which there’s mass disorder, violence or famine.” Collier said they just want to return to a semblance of a normal life and to eventually return home. Benjamin Wherry, senior in biochemistry, found the lecture to be enlightening on the large scope of the refugee crisis. “I felt a true passion in his voice, filled with illuminating statistics and factual evidence of the true problem at hand: 60 million displaced human beings trying to find a home,” Wherry said. Collier said countries are no longer welcoming refugees as much as they used to. Instead, they’re paying other countries to take their refugees. Ever since this method of dealing with the crisis came about, the feelings toward refugees has shifted negatively.
path.” Clinton supporter Zack Filzer, of Ankeny, said he will vote later Thursday evening, adding that this was his third time seeing Clinton. “I’m just glad that she’s here [in Iowa] and glad that she’s supporting us,” Filzer said. Filzer said he supports Clinton because she’s “helping young people like [him] with tuition and with trying to lower the cost of college.” This was Filzer’s third time seeing Clinton, and the independent feels that Clinton’s platform best agrees with his own.

He pointed out that if people walk past the pond, they should help the child, no matter if it’s inconvenient to them. “Like the child, these refugees are not demanding rights, they just want help,” Collier said. Collier also noted a possible solution to the crisis of homeless refugees called the Jordanian model. “The Jordanian government has offered 200,000 work permits to Syrian refugees as long as jobs come in,” Collier said. He explained further that the lack of international firms currently doing business in Jordan is slowing down the process. Even though the Jordanian model is being piloted in Ethiopia and Kenya as well, it is taking time because
and cities, and a broader focus on advanced manufacturing. “This is good, honorable work, and boy do we have a lot of it. ... We are living off of the investments of our parents, grandparents ...,” Clinton said. Clinton’s visit to Iowa follows the first presidential debate on Monday night, when Clinton and her opponent Donald Trump went head-to-head for the first time. Trump was in Council Bluffs on Wednesday, and both candidates are back on the trail gearing up for their next debate, which will be a town-hall style event on
lawyers are still arguing about policies. “We have a chance to change the global refugee system,” Collier said. “But the policy on refugees needs to get out of the courtrooms and into the boardrooms.” Olivia Skwerski, freshman in civil engineering, agrees that the refugee crisis is an important issue that should be discussed. “He made it really clear that it’s not a short term problem, but something that’s going to continue to grow,” Skwerski said. Collier concluded his lecture on the refugee crisis with a call to action. “What we now need is for politicians around the world to shift out of this mode of short-term populism,” Collier said. “We need a mass political move that young people know how to ignite.”
Sunday, Oct. 9. The first debate left many concerned about the candidates, however, based on how they presented themselves and debated their stances. “Trump, it’s insulting that he didn’t prepare and it showed,” Filzer said. “So, if he thinks he’s just going to wing it in terms of being the president, then we’re all in for a lot of trouble.” In regard to debating, Judge, who helped introduce Clinton, said she has asked her opponent, current U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, for a debate, but he has said no to her request. She joked that she even
said they could hold it at the Dairy Queen, his “home turf,” a hit at one of Grassley’s most famous stops that he often shares on social media. “He is no longer standing up for Iowa values,” Judge said. “We will prove we are stronger together … we will prove that love trumps hate,” Clinton said to wrap up her speech. She ended the event by encouraging her supporters to go out and vote early immediately after the event at the satellite voting locations. “We can be on the path to victory here in Iowa,” she said.

This year’s Common Threads exhibition will contain a series of mixed media drawings and an interactive sculpture. The exhibition will run from Oct. 1 to the end of the month at the Iowa State University Design on Main gallery, 203 Main St., Ames. “The Design on Main gallery is hosting the exhibition because part of the gallery’s mission is to serve artists in the community, in addition to student artists,” said Kyle Renell, artist-in-residence and director of Design on Main Gallery. The exhibition will be the third in a series hosted every fall semester by the ISU Design on Main gallery. The series is meant to encourage interaction among the ISU faculty, students and the community through local artists. “Common Threads III” is a collaborative exhibition by local fiber artist and ISU alumna Catherine Reinhart and Minnesota printmaker and fiber artist Allison Wegren Metzger. Shared interests in the community and the domestic and societal roles of women brought the two artists to Grant Wood’s murals, “When Tillage Begins, Oth-
be encouraged to wrap, arrange and manipulate the installation. Reinhart said the physical artwork for the exhibit was created in three months, however, the planning and fundraising for the exhibit took more than a year. It included a three-day artmaking intensive the two artists had in the summer, where they began 20 drawings, researched the murals and the history behind them and “ate good food and laughed a lot.” During the exhibit, Design on Main will have free weekly events from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursdays to promote community involvement and connect local and regional artists with the Ames and Iowa State communities. The first event will feature Nancy Gebhart, visual literacy and learning educator with ISU University Museums, who will present a gallery talk on the Grant Wood murals from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday. The show also will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 9, during the Ames Area Studio Tour. The exhibition was funded by a crowdfunding campaign that raised $2,058 by 44 contributors and by an 2016 Iowa Arts Council Project Grant for $2,024.

er Arts Follow,” which can be found on walls in Parks Library. The artist’s belief that the scenes depicted in Wood’s murals intersect well with their interest led them to create contemporary work in response. “Our goal is to honor the rich history of the art and artists of Iowa and to cultivate relationships between ISU students and the local community, while simultaneously challenging ourselves with a new experience of working collaboratively,” Reinhart said. Reinhart was asked to participate in this years “Common Threads III” by Jennifer Drinkwater, assistant professor of art and visual culture. Reinhart and
Metzger have been close friends since attending graduate school together at the University of Kansas, but the two have never done a project together. The artists worked on the paper artwork by mailing them back and forth while Metzger was still in Minnesota. The paper artwork was created by drawing, printing, stitching, collage and dyeing processes with color palettes drawn from the murals. The sculptural, which references figures and forms in the murals, was constructed as simple wooden structures as armatures and will invite the public to help create the installation.

NORTHEY p1 about $100 a barrel to about $30 a barrel in the last year. This leads many people to believe that ethanol companies should be hurting, yet somehow Iowa’s 43 ethanol plants are still going strong. “In spite of the decrease in the cost of oil, ethanol has not lost any market share at all,” Northey said. The gasoline that is blended with ethanol is actually cheaper than pure gasoline because ethanol is cheaper to produce than gasoline. This is due to the amount of corn Iowa is producing, leading to cheaper corn prices. Because corn is cheap, it makes producing ethanol that much cheaper. At this point, it puts ethanol fuel on even ground with gasoline and oil companies.
WATER CONSERVATION EFFORTS

During his time in office, Northey has also made tremendous efforts to help with water conservation in Iowa. He spends about half of his time working on initiatives to help with the water purity levels in local Iowa rivers. His efforts have helped lead to the decline in nitrates and phosphors that Iowa rivers contain, according to a report done by the Cedar Rapids Gazette. These are some of his main goals in water conservation programs. He has raised a considerable

amount of money dedicated to these programs and has worked with several watershed demonstration projects. As a fourth-generation farmer, Northey understands the importance of these conservation tactics and implements them in his own life. According to iowaagriculture.gov, he uses reduced tillage, GPS and grid soil sampling on his own farm and is dedicated to water conservation in most aspects of his life.
I M P O R TA N C E O F I O WA’S AGRICULTURAL STORY What it boils down to for Northey is understanding the basics of Iowa and the state’s culture. That’s why
Iowa’s agricultural story matters. The importance of all citizens knowing how much of an impact that Iowa has on the agriculture of the world is essential. “U.S., China and Brazil are the only three countries in the world that produce more corn than the state of Iowa,” Northey said. Not only does Iowa have an impact on the agriculture of the world, but agriculture has one of the biggest influences on Iowa’s economy. Being such an integral mechanism in the grand scheme of agriculture results in a semblance of pride for most Iowans. Most Iowans are somehow tied to agriculture — whether they own a farm, know a farmer or work for a farmer — they are all linked together in a crucial way. These relationships seem to be slowly dying out, and it is part of Northey’s mission to “bring nonagriculture people to agricultural people.”
ADVICE TO CURRENT AGRICULTURE STUDENTS
When asked the question, “What advice do you have for Iowa State students currently enrolled in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences?” Northey responded with great remarks on the college.

COMING
BACK A LEGEND Davis in Ames to be honored for Hall of Fame induction By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Troy Davis received a call from a reporter earlier this year. “Troy, you know that you’ve been inducted into the Hall of Fame?” The reporter asked him. “Oh, when do the ballots come out?” Davis asked him, confused. “No, Troy. You’re in there,” the reporter clarified. It was at that point Troy understood. He dropped the phone and looked up to the sky. “Thank God,” he said. “I finally made it.” Troy is one of 14 former players and two coaches who were inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame this year, and his induction is well deserved. Troy attended Iowa State from 1993-1996. He set numerous records there and was a two-time consensus All-American in 1995 and 1996. He was even the runner-up in the Heisman Trophy ballot in 1996. He also is the only Division I player in NCAA history to run for more than 2,000 yards in back-to-back seasons. “A hundred years go by and nobody ever did what Troy did,” said former Iowa State coach Dan McCarney, who was back in Ames for his own induction into the Iowa State Athletics Hall of Fame. “Now another 20 years go by and nobody’s ever done it, 2,000 yards two years in a row.” Troy is back in Ames over the past two weeks. He and his brother Darren, who also was an Iowa State running back, arrived ahead of

Iowa State’s legendary running back Troy Davis is still the only player in Division I college football history to put up back-toback 2,000-yard seasons. He also finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1996, his second 2,000-yard year.
COMMENTARY
This weekend could be a defining game for Campbell Don’t count Iowa State out this weekend. Yes, Baylor is a 16.5-point favorite going into the weekend. Yes, Baylor is 4-0 and probably the best bet the Big 12 has at the College Football Playoff this season. And yes, I don’t even LUKE MANDERFELD have the Cyclones pulling off a victory in my pick. But Iowa State, which has been mired in disappointing season after disappointing season, has been in similar situations before.
How could any Iowa State fan forget beating Oklahoma State in 2011 or Nebraska in 1992? Those coaches, Paul Rhoads and Jim Walden, respectively, are remembered for those monumental wins, even though both didn’t pan out in the end. This weekend could be a similarly monumental weekend under new coach Matt Campbell. Although it is unlikely, there is a chance. No. 13 Baylor is entering a lull in its schedule. This week it takes on Iowa State at 11 a.m. Saturday in Ames. Next weekend, the Bears go back to Waco, Texas, to take on the Big 12 bottom-feeders Kansas
Jayhawks. Could the Cyclones and Jayhawks be over looked? We’ll have to see. But the Bears, who are still entangled in a sexual assault debacle, could be peering a few weeks down the line. Iowa State is in a good position going into the week and in a prime position to upset. Coming off the 44-10 victory against San Jose State on Saturday, when the Cyclones finally saw some semblance of what Campbell can do, Iowa State finally has some confidence under its belt. While it was a win against San Jose State, a team that is 1-3 and was
without its starting quarterback, there’s no doubt that it helps going forward. “We’re excited, man,” quarterback Jacob Park said after the game. “It’s the start of a new beginning now. We’re about to keep this thing rolling.” It also helps that Iowa State is moving into arguably the hardest part of this season’s schedule. The next three matchups bring Baylor, Oklahoma State and Texas. There’s not doubt the Cyclones aren’t in a position to be overlooking anybody, but it helps when you play three of the toughest teams in the conference back-to-back-to-back. The key for Iowa State
will be to slow down Baylor’s fast-paced offense and defense. The Bears run a unique system in which they don’t substitute on offense. It keeps the defense on its toes. And on defense, the Bears don’t slow down. They’ll keep pounding and pounding and that’ll be tough on a thin offensive line. But the line has been trending up in the past few weeks. “I think even last week was better than the week before,” Iowa State offensive coordinator Tom Manning said this week. “So I think we’re trending in the right direction there.” It’ll take quarterbacks

Jacob Park and Joel Lanning’s best effort in the two-quarterback system. In addition, a stellar performance by Iowa State’s defense will be needed, as well as quite a bit of luck. If the Cyclones can pull this one off, it could be a defining moment for Campbell and his staff. A moment that Campbell could show off for future recruits and donors. “I do think you look at Baylor and they have a bunch of good football players. That hasn’t changed,” Campbell said. “They know how to win. That hasn’t changed. They expect to win. That hasn’t changed.”

KEYS TO THE GAME ISU
The dual-quarterback system needs to work just as well as last week against San Jose State. Quarterbacks Joel Lanning and Jacob Park totaled 301 passing yards and five passing touchdowns. Lanning and Park need to use the variety of Iowa State wide receivers. If Baylor’s defense double teams Allen Lazard, those receivers need to step up. The Iowa State defense needs to stop Baylor’s quarterback Seth Russell in both the running and passing game. If the defense can stop him, it’ll help slow down the fast Baylor offense.
BAYLOR
Baylor has a dual-running back system with Terence Williams and JaMycal Hasty, which have totaled 550 rushing yards and six touchdowns. If Baylor can use the running backs effectively, it’ll make it hard to stop two important players. Keep a fast tempo on the offensive side. If Russell can get a rhythm early in the game, it’ll make it hard for the Iowa State defense. The Baylor defense is one of the fastest in the Big 12 and it needs to use that to its advantage.
A Little Brit Different
By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com
By Sean.Sears @iowastatedaily.com
If this game was at a neutral site, or at Baylor, this “Good Cop” column would be worthless. Baylor is one of two undefeated teams in the Big 12, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. Luckily, this is a home game for the Cyclones, and I believe that’ll make all of the difference. If you found a nice rock, or cave to live in over the entire summer and beginning part of the school year, I’ve got some news for you. Baylor has had some off-the-field issues. Well, a lot. Baylor’s president, athletic director and football coach, among other members of the football staff, were all fired after a sexual assault scandal involving members of the football team. On top of that, early in the school year, Baylor receiver Ish Zamora was filmed beating his dog with a belt. He was suspended for three games by new coach Jim Grobe. Baylor should be boo’d unmercifully by the student section and the Cyclone faithful in Jack Trice. Iowa State fans already have a reputation for booing a lot — especially in basketball — but I don’t think it’ll compare to Saturday. Baylor has only played one game away from McLane Stadium so far in the young season — a game in Houston, Texas, against Rice. They haven’t seen anything like they’ll see at Jack Trice on Saturday. It’ll be more than unrelenting boos. When Baylor is on offense, the boos should drown out any and all noise like vuvuzelas did at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Assuming the student section does its job, there will be chants, and there will be signs — personally I’m most excited for the signs. If Iowa State has any shot at winning this game, the crowd needs to get in Baylor’s collective head. Baylor is still the more talented team, but with the crowd in its side, I believe Iowa State can pull this one off late in the game sending Jack Trice into a frenzy.
Baylor is good at football and Iowa State is not. And that’s all you really need to know this weekend, but for the sake of a story, let’s take a closer look at what makes Baylor one of the best schools in the Big 12. Offensively, the Bears are averaging 42.0 points per game, while only allowing their opponents to score a measly 13.5 per game. Baylor is getting it done through the pass and on the ground, with over 1,200 passing yards and just over 1,000 rushing yards that includes three separate rushers over 200 yards on the season. The offense is led by senior quarterback Seth Russell, who has 13 passing touchdowns and a single rushing score, but the signal caller is surrounded by talented skill position players. Junior receiver KD Cannon, along with running backs Terence Williams and JaMycal Hasty, are some of the best playmakers in the Big 12 and are even better at inducing Iowa State fan tears. The one shining glimmer of hope Iowa State has is that, while Baylor has scored at least 35 or more points in all four of its games this season, its toughest game so far has been against Oklahoma State in a 35-24 win last Saturday. Iowa State can try and take advantage of Baylor while the Bears are coming off their hardest game of the season. While Oklahoma State might be a more talented team than Iowa State is currently, if Baylor were to struggle in Ames this Saturday, it would be surprising but not impossible to fathom. That being said, Iowa State is going to struggle to contain Baylor’s high-octane offense, meaning this game could get ugly quick. Defensively, Baylor’s numbers are suspect due to its weaker non-conference schedule, but as a school that still recruits well, it has playmakers in most positions. Expect a repeat of last year’s game, and for the game to essentially be over by halftime.

Baylor 52, Iowa State 10 Ok, so I was wrong last week. I’ll admit it and move on. But I won’t be wrong twice in a row. Baylor is going to win this weekend in Ames, which will position themselves atop the Big 12 and the most likely in the conference to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff. Sure, Baylor is dealing with numerous off the field issues. But Iowa State doesn’t have the talent to slow Baylor. This one won’t be pretty in Ames. Baylor 49, Iowa State 24 Clearly from my 1-3 record, I’d suggest not following my picks, but I’ll choose Baylor this weekend. Baylor looks too fast and strong for Iowa State both offensively and defensively. The last two years, Baylor has scored in the 40’s against Iowa State, as the Cyclones have scored in the 20’s each year. I think that tradition will continue this season.

Baylor 38, Iowa State 0 Baylor is going to win because Iowa State usually doesn’t. In all seriousness though, while Baylor is looking at a thin roster and new coach, its speed and strength ultimately outweigh anything Iowa State could bring to the field. Also, watch out for those yellow flags, Iowa State.

Iowa State focuses on speedy Baylor team Bears boast threats on both sides of ball By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com Fast. That’s the one word every Iowa State (1-3, 0-1 Big 12) player uses to describe Baylor on both sides of the ball. And these players aren’t lying. No. 13 Baylor (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) is ranked eighth in the country for total offense with 2,195 total yards, 21 offensive touchdowns and an average of 548.8 yards per game. That attack is led by quarterback Seth Russell, who can pass and run when needed. He also ranks 16th in the nation in total passing yards, amassing 1,148. “Baylor is probably one of the fastest teams we will face this season,” said wide receiver Allen Lazard. “[Baylor] puts points on the board and we just need to be ready for a shootout on Saturday.” The Baylor offense has outscored its first four opponents 168-54, and it all comes down to how fast the team’s tempo is compared to most schools in the country. The Bears play an offense where they tend to not substitute players in and out — they just keep pushing. T h e I o w a S t a t e d efense will have a challenge this upcoming weekend, but many of the veterans are prepared and know the characteristics of Baylor. “I know our defense is strict on affecting the quarterback and I think we need to start there first,” said defensive back Jomal Wiltz. “I think it’ll be a big impact if we can disrupt [Seth Russell] in the passing and running game.” Along with the fast of-

fense, Baylor continues that fast pace on the defensive side as it is ranked No. 21 for total defense in the country. They’ve allowed 1,240 total yards, six touchdowns and 310 yards per game. This dominance to start the season has vaulted Baylor to the top of the Big 12. After the early-season struggles from Oklahoma, the Bears could be atop the discussion as the Big 12’s favorite to make the College Football Playoff. The Bears are coming off a 35-24 victory against Oklahoma State, which served as their toughest game of the season. The defense has allowed an average of 13.5 points per game in the first
four games because of its explosion off of the ball and constant speed. Iowa State quarterback Joel Lanning and running back Mike Warren have personally pointed out Baylor linebacker Taylor Young as a leader on the Bears’ defense. Young had 80 total tackles and four sacks in the 2015 season. “The linebackers flow well, safeties, corners, defensive line, they all are fast and have motors,” Warren said. “The Baylor defense is sound, they rarely mess up, so we need to utilize everyone for this game.” The Iowa State offense needs to use all of its weapons with the dual-quarterback system in Jacob Park and Lanning, an effective

running game with Warren and multiple targets down the field with their five main wide receivers. Lanning said he knows the Baylor defense will be double team Lazard most of the game, which means receivers Dondre Daley, Hakeem Butler, Trever Ryen and Deshaunte Jones need to step up. Last weekend against San Jose State, the five wide receivers had a total of 13 receptions for 204 yards and all five of the receiving touchdowns. “We’ll have to have a strong game plan coming into this game,” said coach Matt Campbell. “Baylor will be one of the toughest teams we face this season.”

DAVIS p5 the Cyclones’ game against San Jose State. “It’s beautiful,” Troy said. “Dan McCarney deserved every award he’s getting. And for him to be inducted into the hall of fame, that’s something he’s [deserved] ever since he got here in 1995 until he left in 2006, so he deserved every moment of it.” And his appearance back in Ames didn’t go unnoticed. While attending the San Jose State game, both Troy and Darren had quite the crowd surrounding them when walking through the tailgate lots. “Everybody recognized me,” Troy said. “Once me and Darren started signing autographs and taking pictures, it seemed like the whole stadium came toward us to take pictures and sign autographs.” Both Troy and Darren stuck around for this week’s game against Baylor, where Troy will be honored for his induction into the College Football Hall of Fame. And during the brothers’ time in Ames, Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said their impact on the current team has been tremendous.

“When you talk about a great football program and trying to build a program that stands for the right thing, it’s great to have former players, especially somebody like those two, that are back [around] the program,” Campbell said. “Here’s a guy that’s going in the College Football Hall of Fame and for a collegiate studentathlete, [that’s] as big an honor as you possibly can get.
Baylor Passing: Seth Russell, 80-for-133 for 1,148 yards, 13 touchdowns Rushing: Terence Williams, 55 rushes for 284 yards, 4 touchdowns Receiving: KD Cannon, 27 receptions for 370 yards, 4 touchdowns Defense: Aiavion Edwards, 33 total tackles with 1.5 sacks
“It’s been great to have them around and to have them around our players and our facilities. I just hope they keep coming around, because it’s great to have them around our team.” Troy hasn’t been able to keep up with much Iowa State football this season. Living in Miami, the Cyclones aren’t on television much in his area. However, getting to watch the Cyclones and running back Mike Warren — who ran for 103 yards and a touchdown against the Spartans — he was impressed with what he saw. “It was my first time seeing him in action, and the way that he played Saturday, he deserves hands up right now,” Troy said. Troy deserves “hands up” too. While he narrowly missed winning the Heisman Trophy back in 1996 — something he said was sure was coming back with him to Ames — it doesn’t matter. His legacy now lives on in the highest place possible for a college football player. “I’m glad I made the Hall of Fame now,” Davis said. “It’s a blessing. It’s one of my goals and one of my dreams to get in to the Hall of Fame, and I did it.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Madden clarifies plane incident involving Leath

By Warren Madden, Senior Vice President Emeritus Over the past week several articles and opinion letters have misconstrued statements attributed to me about President Leath’s use of Iowa State University Flight Service. I feel it necessary to set the record straight. In the context of a long discussion, with a reporter about the history of the ISU Flight Service Department, I stated that according to ISU policy, university aircraft should not be used for purely personal purposes. While this is true, nothing I have known or have read about President Leath’s use of Flight Service or university aircraft is in violation of ISU policy. When ISU employees travel for university business, the university pays for the transportation expenses related to the travel. This is true even if the employee conducts personal activities while on the trip. For example, an employee may need to be in Chicago for a Monday meeting but choose to go on Friday afternoon and spend the weekend visiting family or spend some vacation time after the meeting, extending their time in Chicago. Because the Monday meeting is university business, the transportation costs associated with traveling to and from Chicago would be covered by the university, regardless of the personal activities of the employee. I am not aware of any time that the university paid the transportation costs for President Leath when he was traveling for purely personal reasons. To suggest that I believe that the travel described in the various news articles violated policy or state law is simply wrong. I have no such belief. In fact, my understanding is directly opposite to this conclusion. It has also been reported that I said that President Leath would not be allowed to fly university planes by himself under policy or university insurance requirements. This is also not true. I am not sure if I misspoke or if the reporter misunderstood me, but the fact is, after being certified I am certain that President Leath is authorized to fly the smaller of the two planes and is recognized on the university’s insurance policy as an authorized pilot. To my knowledge, there is no requirement in the insurance policy or university policy that the smaller of the two planes be flown with more than one pilot. I understand that President Leath is not FAA certified to fly the larger of the university’s aircraft and has not done so. It is also being suggested that President Leath’s use of university aircraft and the fact that he was piloting university aircraft was not known by me or other university leaders or by the general public. This is not the case. The fact that President Leath is a pilot was widely reported when he was hired nearly five years ago. In 2013, the Des Moines Register did extensive reporting about President Leath’s travel including the fact that he would pilot university aircraft and fly himself on university business. I certainly was aware of this and it seems like the newspaper that published this article and its readers were as well. As the article notes, this fact has had a positive impact on university fundraising efforts and in spreading the mission of Iowa State University. Finally, I don’t remember hearing about the hard landing incident at the time it occurred. But I know that University Flight Service was notified because the repairs were arranged by them. The fact that I did not know about this incident is not alarming to me. While I was ultimately responsible for Flight Service, it was not unusual for expenses at this level to have been approved without my knowledge or supervision. University Flight Service has been an important tool of the university for decades. With the increasing demands on the University President, I presume it will continue to be an important form of transportation. Despite what has been reported, I have no reason to believe that President Leath has ever misused university aircraft or acted deceptively.

9 EDITORIAL
Focus on message of protests, not the kneeling “If somebody is telling you they don’t feel like they’re free, why wouldn’t you listen to them?” Miami Dolphins running back Arian Foster asked this question after he and three of his teammates took a knee during the national anthem before their NFL game Sept. 11. Foster added that he and his teammates want to start a conversation about systemic racial inequality. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s initial national anthem protest on Aug. 26 sparked a movement that has spread throughout the sports world, from middle schools to a wider range of professional sports teams. But to some, the message from Kaepernick and his allies is not one of displeasure that their freedoms are not recognized. Rather, some feel the action of kneeling during the national anthem is un-American at its very height. While sports media highlight each successive protest in turn, the question on their minds seems to be one not of how to best spread the athletes’ core message but of the action itself — thereby lending credence to the athletes’ critics. This might be why U.S. women’s soccer player Carli Lloyd, when asked about teammate Megan Rapinoe kneeling for the anthem at two recent national team games in solidarity with Kaepernick, called Rapinoe’s protest “distracting.” Lloyd added, “People are only talking about the kneeling aspect of it.” In fact, the majority of the Fox Sports 1 pregame show prior to the team’s Sept. 18 game was devoted to Rapinoe’s action — the “will she, won’t she” do it again — and not the game in which Rapinoe would not even start. Clearly our collective attention is in the wrong place, and this is a misstep easily explained by the core of the very issues that these dozens of athletes are protesting. While some vocal Americans take issue with their method of protest, citing their right to free speech as an excuse for what is too often thinly-veiled bigotry, they ignore that Kaepernick, Rapinoe and Foster have the same right to protest. When it comes to taking just a moment to listen to the voices of minoritized people we are either so content in our own beliefs that we choose to ignore them entirely, or we make unreasonable demands for free labor that is apparently required to move along the conversation. It is almost as if the athletes themselves must hold weekly meetings to discuss the issues at hand in order for the conversation on systemic inequalities to begin or their actions are somehow worth the derision they have received. The next time you see an athlete take a knee during the national anthem, take it upon yourself to consider why they might be choosing to take such conspicuous action. Think about the freedoms they have been denied as Americans, the freedoms they are being denied as people rise up to complain about their “distracting” form of protest, the freedoms much of the rest of the country enjoy and exercise without interruption. “If somebody is telling you they don’t feel like they’re free, why wouldn’t you listen to them?” Neither Kaepernick nor the athletes who have joined his protest are the villains in our history. These icons are really the courageous voices we must amplify if we ever want to fully exemplify those final words of our national anthem. “Home of the brave”? Undoubtedly. “Land of the free”? Thanks to them, we’re getting there.

ISU soccer opens up homestand By Rich.Stevens @iowastatedaily.com
Chris Jorgensen/Iowa State Daily
Iowa State freshman Jaiden Johnson fouls off a pitch during a bunt attempt against Iowa Central on Tuesday. The Cyclones won the game 16-0 but will face the toughest part of their fall schedule this weekend when they take on Northern Iowa and Drake on Saturday and Iowa on Sunday.
Softball schedule toughens By Aaron.Marner @iowastatedaily.com After three straight wins over local community colleges to start the fall season, Iowa State softball will face its toughest task of the fall this weekend when it travels to Cedar Falls, Iowa, for the All Iowa Classic. The All Iowa Classic features games between Iowa State, Iowa, Drake and Northern Iowa. The Cyclones will start the weekend with games against UNI and Drake on Saturday, followed by a matchup with Iowa on Sunday morning. In the three games so far this fall, Iowa State has outscored its opponents by a combined score of 42-8. The Cyclones’ most recent game against Iowa Central on Tuesday featured a nineinning combined no-hitter from Savannah Sanders
and Emma Hylen. The coaches and players have a sense of confidence heading into the weekend. “We’re going in to win this tournament,” said coach Jamie Trachsel, “But we’re going to be tested heavily. Those are three really good teams.” Northern Iowa posted a 38-19 record last spring, and Drake was just as good. Drake and UNI finished second and third in the Missouri Valley Conference, respectively. Iowa finished the 2016 season with a 13-39 record, going 3-20 in Big Ten play. Similar to Iowa State, Iowa has a lot of young players on its roster. “We’re playing Division I, we’re playing teams that we play during the regular season,” Sanders said. “You’re not going to be the same in the fall [as you are in the spring] but it’s good to see where you’re at compared
to teams around you.” Last season, the Cyclones went 2-2 against the other in-state schools. They split a pair of games with Drake, beat Iowa and lost to UNI. “I think it will be a test,” Sanders said. “It will be really competitive. We’re playing in-state schools too, so that puts a little extra edge on it.” Even with the tougher competition, the Cyclones still want to focus on themselves rather than the opponent. “I really want to gain a sense of our whole team coming together,” Hylen said. “We’re still working some things out. When we play against better teams I think some things are really going to come together and I think we’re going to have some really bright moments.” Trachsel said the Cyclones need to challenge themselves to get better —

The All Iowa Classic will get underway for the Iowa State softball team at 11 a.m. Saturday when it plays at UNI.
The last time Iowa State soccer won a Big 12 matchup at home was Oct. 31, 2014. That was the team’s only conference win that season. With only two Big 12 games under its belt this season, the team already has matched its total in wins from the last two years of conference play combined, beating Oklahoma State 1-0 on Sept. 23. The Cyclones have built themselves a cohesive back line and are looking to change their fortunes in the coming weeks. Iowa State (7-3, 1-1 Big 12) is coming off of a 3-0 loss against Texas Tech on Sunday. Coach Tony Minatta focused his players’ attention on the upcoming matchup against No. 23 Oklahoma (9-2-1, 2-0 Big 12) by focusing on one-onone drills. “Over the weekend, we lost a lot of individual battles,” Minatta said. “We’re working on breaking it down for the whole team. Then, we’ll work on defensive shaping and getting back into the attack.” Iowa State’s defense has proved to be stout for most of the season. It has had to play hard for the entirety of games, just to give the team a chance to win. Against Texas Tech, Iowa State allowed two goals to Red Raider standout Jade King. Against Oklahoma, it’ll have to deal with the similarly talented Liz Keester. “Being aware of her and tracking her is going to be very important,” said senior forward Koree Willer. “Everyone is going to have

She’s the type of dynamic player that the Cyclones will need to keep an eye on while she’s on the field. “You always pay mind to the feature player of the other team,” Minatta said. “You never player-mark them. “It takes you out of your own system and throws you off more than if you were just playing your own game.” With the team focusing heavily on one-on-one and two-on-two, Willer emphasized the need to improve on the little things. “We just got the competitiveness back up,” Willer said. “Lots of defending and getting our principles down for defending and attacking.”
Iowa State volleyball focuses on intense defensive strategies By Sean.Sears @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State volleyball team is winless in the Big 12 this season after losing to Kansas State and TCU. While both teams the Cyclones faced so far in the conference are talented, Iowa State will head into Morgantown, West Virginia, to compete against West Virginia, which is one of the weaker opponents in the Big 12. And while on paper it looks as if the Cyclones should return to Ames with their first win in conference, the team is not going to assume anything. “[West Virginia] took a set from Texas, so they are not a team we can look past,” said junior middle blocker Alexis Conaway. While being on the road is always more of a challenge than being in Ames for home
matches, the Mountaineers present one of the more unusual crowd environments — or lack thereof. “Honestly, there’s not much of a crowd, which sometimes is almost harder,” Conaway said. “There’s really not much excitement going on, it’s really quiet in the gym, so we have to make sure we are bringing our own energy.” The Cyclones energy will be key in not only this weekend’s match at the quiet arena in Morgantown, but throughout the regular season. Both Johnson-Lynch and sophomore libero Abby Phillips brought up the team’s lack of intensity after the loss to TCU. Phillips, who has always been one of the team’s more vocal leaders, has taken an even bigger role since becoming the team’s starting libero. Her presence on the
floor should give the Cyclones a bigger vocal leader who can rally her teammates during times when the game may start to slip out of reach. “In the Big 12 there is a lot of pressure to win and to be successful,” Phillips said. “I feel like the more we put pressure on ourselves in practice, the easier things will come when it’s game time.” Phillips’ desire for more intensity was more focused on the defensive side of things, where Iowa State has struggled to find consistent success. Their block has shown signs of life in a few games this season, but in other matches, the Cyclones have been completely annihilated on the block. But Johnson-Lynch has felt her team needs to do a better job of not letting games slip out of its hands, and that comes with playing better defense.

“A few times this year it seems like we’ve been squeaking by in that first set,” said Johnson-Lynch, criticizing her squad’s effort. “We’ve got to finish games by doing a better job of blocking and make plays defensively.” Johnson-Lynch expanded
on that by saying her team needed to handle difficult balls better to allow the setter a greater chance of finding her hitter with a great ball. Right now, the Cyclones do not seem to do that well, but with the addition of Phillips and the

NORTHEY p4 His words of praise came from the college’s ability to keep its students connected to relevant issues and policy issues, and help them figure out how to best respond to those issues. “[Iowa State is] good at staying very connected to the latest issues within agriculture and keeping relevant,” he said. He believes Iowa State gives students the foundation to be leaders when solving problems they may face. He said there is nothing more important than maintaining relationships with people in the industry and stressed the importance of staying connected with both science and the work force. As with most industries, networking can do a lot. Finding strong relationships and learning from those will help advance one’s career. He said staying con-
nected with science and the workforce is the best way to stay relevant. After the interview, Brian Meyer, program director in agriculture communications, shared specific efforts being made by the College of Agriculture and Life Science (CALS) to stay connected and discussed what spurs the high student interest in the college. He said students are researching information, such as how to manage soil nutrients, and finding innovative ways to conserve oil. CALS is in its fifth straight year of record enrollment. There are 28 different majors in the college, leaving students with a lot of opportunities and a 97 percent job placement rate. With those types of statistics and such naturepreserving motives, one can see why the college is looked upon so fondly by prospective students, current students and alumni, such as Northey.
