University collaborates with app to give students ability to pay for on-campus meters, avoid fines By Michaela Ramm @iowastatedaily.com Parking on campus can be a hassle for ISU students, faculty and staff, especially if their day is unpredictable. With classes that run long or the coffee line that’s taking too much time students don’t always have the time to go back to their car to pay the meter. ISU students can avoid those dreaded parking tickets with the help of new meters installed on campus that enable commuters to pay for parking through their smartphone. Commuters can add more time to their meters through an app called Parkmobile. Approximately 500 of these meters, which were installed during the summer by the ISU Parking Division, are located at three pre-pay lots around campus: Lot 21 by the Armory, Lot 100 by Lied Recreation Athletic

Nominate women who impact ISU
SNAPSHOT
By Kyndal Reimer @iowastatedaily.com Female ISU students, staff and faculty members who have significantly impacted the community are seen around campus, but now some can receive recognition for their outstanding qualities. Nominations are being accepted for these women to appear in the 2016 Women Impacting ISU calendar until Sept. 30. Put together by the Catt Associates student leadership organization, the first calendar premiered in 2007 and has been put out every year since. This year celebrates the 10th edition. “Women do a lot of great things on campus, and it’s important to be recognized for making [Iowa State] such a great place.” said Kristine Perkins, public relations and student programs coordinator at the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women in Politics. The calendar served as an appreciation of current students, faculty and staff who are individual figures in the ISU community. The target was to feature the importance of women and the variety of roles they play here. Jean Anderson, director of the dietetics internship program and adjunct instructor and senior clinician of dietetics, was an honoree last year. “It was both a surprise and an honor to be recognized last year,” Anderson said. “Being willing to take risks, having courage and being fearless is really all it takes.” Each of these poster-sized calendars features 12 women, their photographs and small bios about them and what they’ve done to be nominated.

A construction crew works on the renovations of the 110-year-old Marston Hall building on June 4, 2015. The goal of the project is to keep the building alive for 100 more years.
Korrie Bysted/Iowa State Daily
Renovations add life to Marston Hall $27 million upgrade awaits 2016 fall finish By Carolina.Colon @iowastatedaily.com Lockers, no central air conditioner and an old structure with lead painting were Marston Hall’s worst aspects. The building first unlocked its doors in 1903. Since then, it has never had a complete renovation — that changed last summer
when it was closed for a $27 million renovation that will be completed in fall 2016. The name Marston comes from the first dean of the College of Engineering, then called Division of Engineering, Anson Marston. But the building’s original name was Engineering Hall. Kerry Anne Dixon, facilities project manager and coordinator for sustainable design and construction for ISU Facilities Planning and Manage ment, explained what new features the building will have. “The renovation will
be a great place for students, having a variety of tables and rooms for group studying,” Dixon said. “As you move up, it’s more of a function focus, having different conference rooms for interviews after career week.” Dixon said the project will provide students with space outside of the classroom to study and interact. “It’s going to be really exciting when it opens,” Dixon said. “There are a couple of things people will remember. People will be amazed how the building is changed being respectful on how it started.”
The goal of this project is to give the building another 100 years of life. About 75 workers are employed at the site, and more will be hired in November. Being involved with Marston Hall for more than 35 years, Mufit Akinc, professor of material science and engineering, explained some old features of the hall. “The building had a really depressing look,” Akinc said. “At least one-third of the building was not in effective use.” Akinc said he is excited for students to see the building because it is going
to be redesigned for the students. The first floor will include different study areas with erasable walls, along with advisers, the student services center and engineering honor’s program. The second floor will have classrooms, and the third floor will be dedicated to conference rooms and study groups. “[The first floor] is going to be an opportunity of service for the students [and a] gateway for the prospective families of future engineers,” said Joel Johnson, director of Engineering Student Services.
Johnson said the College of Engineering has been giving a real effort of keeping the history of the building alive. For example, the muses at the top of the building are also being redone, but the structure will be the same. Dixon said this is the first female-dominated project she has seen in her 20 years of working at Iowa State. “The College of Engineering is a male-dominant major,” Dixon said. “Our project architect is a female, changing the face of where engineering is going to be in the future.”
Regents to meet on spring tuition increase By Mitch Anderson @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa Board of Regents will meet Wednesday in Cedar Falls, Iowa, where it will discuss the spring tuition increase, the establishment of ISU Global Corporation and a $30 million dorm bond award for Buchanan Hall. The Board is considering a 3 percent increase in undergraduate in-state tuition for the spring 2016 semester. This increase would add about $100 to a full-time undergraduate resident student’s fee for the spring semester at all three state schools. For part-
time in-state undergraduate students, it would be distributed based on credit hours. Regents say the tuition revenues would be “committed to sustaining a quality teaching and learning environment” at the universities in Iowa, after the Iowa legislature appropriated $6.5 million of the requested $21.7 million. Another item on the board’s agenda is to authorize Iowa State and the ISU Foundation to establish ISU Global Corporation. ISU Global Corporation would lease, develop or own real estate and facilities that would operate in foreign countries. The corporation would

be a nonprofit to support Iowa State’s international programs, specifically the ongoing program in the Kamuli District of Uganda that has been running for more than 10 years. “They would like to build a campus, if you will, that would include some residential living space, dining area, meeting rooms, classroom areas and a food service facility for the students that are over there,” said Warren Madden, senior vice president for business and finance. A third topic of discussion concerning Iowa State is a resolution providing for the sale and authorizing the payment of $30 million in
dormitory revenue bonds for the purpose of paying for the new Buchanan Residence building, as well as many other projects like the Friley dining renovation. “The timing of this is around the construction of the Buchanan site, and when the sale happens tomorrow we will find out what the interest rate of the bonds is, and that will determine the financial budget for the financing of the residence hall project,” Madden said. The bond is the second of two bonds sold to finance the several projects. The bonds will be repaid until 2035 in which debt-service payments will reach about $2 million.
City Council approves new developments Shannon McCarty @iowastatedaily.com The City Council debated numerous improvements relating to Iowa State’s Research Park on Tuesday night as well approving more developments in the city. Ames Municipal Airport At the July 14 meeting the City Council learned the Ames Municipal Airport project was projected to be $750,000 more than budgeted for the 6,985-squarefoot terminal. Iowa State gave the city an additional $250,000, and the council voted for a onetime withdrawal of $250,000 out of the hotel and motel fund. The city’s consulting firm presented a plan Aug. 25 of a reduced terminal of
5,358 square feet, which was estimated to cost $250,000 less than the previously proposed terminal. The Ames Economic Development Commission came forward wanting to raise the additional $250,000, which would allow the larger terminal to be built. The commission only raised $150,000, leaving an additional $100,000. The university has offered to loan $100,000 to the commission if it cannot fund the remaining balance by the time of the bid. The council decided to accept the offer from the commission with the belief it will raise all the funds needed. “I’m confident that [the commission] will come up with the $250,000,” said City Manager Steve Schainker. With a 5-1 vote on the
resolution, the city’s design engineers can begin construction documents on the larger private terminal with the intention that the terminal project would be bid for by next spring or summer. The council also accepted an Iowa Department of Transportation aviation grant that secures funding of the terminal project for this fiscal year. The acceptance of the grant also allows for the site work to be done this year and construction of the private hangar will begin this fall. A grant from the DOT Office of Aviation for $150,000 was also approved to help fund the rehabilitation of the Ames airport taxiway. The estimated total of the project is $220,000. The city will fund the remaining $72,000 from the airport construction fund.
The council approved a professional services agreement with Bolton & Menk, Inc. of Ames for the taxiway improvements. The project has a not-to-exceed cost of $26,000. ISU Research Park The council approved changes to the ISU Research Park by a unanimous vote on the first reading of the ordinance rezoning of land in the park from planned industrial to research park innovation district. The rezoning also included the first passage on a resolution designating three types of areas within the 187.93 acres of land including the hub activity area, public space and research industrial areas. The public space will accommodate open-space areas, environmentally sensitive areas and storm water management.
“It’s very exciting to see this moving forward,” said Councilman Tim Gartin. The hub activity area will host commercial space to support the ISU Research Park, and the research industrial area is meant for research and development facilities. 2400 North Loop Dr., which is part of the research park, was also approved on the ordinance’s first reading to be rezoned from planned industrial to highway-oriented commercial. The lot is about four acres and sits on the northwest corner of Airport Road. The hope is for the fouracre parcel to provide services for the north half of the research park. Campustown The City Council also voted on a proposal to encourage a minimum of 30 percent commercial spaces
be rented to smaller businesses. Lincoln Way Chuck Winkleblack, broker with real-estate company Hunziker & Associates, and Turnkey Investments, LLC are requesting an ordinance about properties at 3505 and 3515 Lincoln Way to rezone from highwayoriented commercial and residential low density to high-oriented commercial with the Lincoln Way mixeduse overlay. The contemporarystyled spaces would consist of two, three-story buildings with 10,912 square feet of commercial space and 18 dwelling units with a parking space in between the buildings. The council did approve the first passage of the ordinance, but it asked the staff to take all measures to reduce noise and traffic.

Colbert steps into new role By Dalton Gackle @iowastatedaily.com The late-night talk shows are now led by a new guard. It is no longer the era of the stand-up. Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers hail from the improv world, both being “Saturday Night Live” alumni. Jimmy Kimmel arose as a radio and television personality. James Corden was and is an actor and writer, mostly in his native Great Britain. Conan O’Brien was a writer for “The Simpsons” and “Saturday Night Live.” Now, Stephen Colbert is replacing David Letterman at “The Late Show.” Colbert also comes from an improv background, dating back to his time with the Second City comedy troupe. “Letterman and [Jay] Leno, they were the focus of their shows,” said Peter Orazem, comedian and professor of economics. “With improv theatre, the focus bounces from the audience to the actor. Obviously, Colbert is a smart comedian.” Letterman and Leno were both strong comedians. They had to be, coming from the stand-up world. Stand-up comics have to take hold of their audience, whereas the new entertainers play off of their audience more. “To be trained in improvisation is one of the best comedic tools to have,” said Gavin Jerome, veteran comedian and Comedy College instructor. “But now can [Colbert] be himself? Can he do some straight stand-up?” Colbert has become famous for his conservative caricature and personality from “The Colbert Report,” a political satire talk show.

Stephen Colbert’s first show serving as host for “The Late Show” was Tuesday night.
“He did it honestly, which is why it was popular,” Orazem said. Now, we have to wait and see whether Colbert will continue that personality or if he will be himself. “I think he’s the best in the business with satiric comedy,” Jerome said. “The question is can you watch that satire for a whole 60 minutes, five days a week?” Colbert will have to make himself stand out, since he will be competing for the same audience with the popular Fallon and Kimmel. “Colbert is a really intelligent comedian, coming from Northwestern [University]. He is going to attract the college-educated audience,” Orazem said. “CBS is going to have the smarter, cutting-edge comedy, opposed to NBC having more of an entertainment orientation.”
With Colbert moving on to primetime television, his old network might struggle to replace him. “Comedy Central is going to take a hit,” Orazem said. “They already lost Jon Stewart and replaced him with a non-American comedian. We’ll see what their new business plan is to replace Colbert.” CBS is taking a new step by hiring Colbert, moving away from the stand-up. Yet they are following in the footsteps of NBC, putting an improv man in the limelight. CBS had the opportunity to make a bigger splash in the late-night community. For instance, CBS could have brought in a host that is part of an underrepresented demographic. “There are no women on late night. Why not?” Orazem asked. “I’m surprised they didn’t have Ellen [DeGeneres] step in.” Hiring DeGeneres would have been unprecedented and perhaps overdue in today’s world. DeGeneres is both a woman and openly gay, two demographics which aren’t represented on late-night television, despite there being plenty of female and gay talent in stand-up and in television and film. Regardless, it is Colbert’s time to prove he is worthy of the prime-time spotlight. “I know a lot of comedians who couldn’t do the talk-show thing. It’s a whole different medium,” Jerome said. Colbert’s first show premiered at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday on CBS. Neither Colbert nor “The Late Show” could be reached for a comment.
Finalists for health center director to visit campus By Alex Hanson @iowastatedaily.com The first of two final candidates to lead the Thielen Student Health Center will be visiting the ISU campus this Thursday and Friday. Shelley O’Connell, who has served as director of the Student Health Center at the University of Northern Iowa since 2008, will be available to meet
with students and answer questions in the Gallery of the Memorial Union at 4:10 p.m Thursday. She will also take part in a onehour public forum in the Gold Room of Memorial Union at 9 a.m Friday. The forum will include a presentation on the role of student health in the education of a student and an opportunity to ask O’Connell questions. O’Connell graduated from Up-
per Iowa University in 2003 with a degree in psychology and also earned a master’s degree in post-secondary education from the University of Northern Iowa. A second finalist for the position will be announced next Tuesday. The search for a new director comes after a review found widespread problems with the center over the past few years.

The Thielan Health Center received a review earlier this year that detailed wide-spread problems. The university is looking at two finalists to be the new director. Shelley O’Connell, the director of the student health center at the University of Northern Iowa, will visit campus Thursday and Friday.

We need to address on-campus sexual misconduct

Many are criticizing body shaming, which makes men and women feel ashamed of their appearance, but some are praising curvy body types at the expense of thinner people. Recent songs like “All About That Bass” and “Anaconda” mocked thinner women and are detrimental to eliminating body shaming altogether.
It’s not all about that bass Criticizing people based on body type harms everyone By Beth Woodruff @iowastatedaily.com
I
n recent months there has been an explosion over “body shaming.” Women everywhere have been condemning the idea of body-based ridicule and have said they are proud to be in their own skin. To that I say, “You go girls. Be proud.” But don’t shame other women in the process of praising yourself. When most people think of the term body shaming they usually associate it with curvy women, but that isn’t always the case. I am a size 00 in jeans, I wear size small T-shirts and they still sag off my thin frame. I don’t tell you this to brag, I tell you this to prove a point that I too deal with figure-based ridicule. While many women are fighting back against body shaming and loving their own build, they are typically doing it at the expense of other women, whether they consciously know they are doing it or not. Pictures have sprung up across the Internet with harsh slogans such as “Real men like curves. Only dogs go for bones” or “No, I don’t wear a size 0. But that’s only because I have the body of a woman, not the body of a 12-year-old.” In what definition of the term is this not body shaming? While one body type is being glorified, the other is being relentlessly attacked. Saying
thin girls are not “women” is utterly offensive and completely contradicts the fight to eradicate body shaming — it simply shames a different group of women. Another bone I’d like to pick is with the media. So many popular songs and artists today mock skinny women. Meghan Trainor’s “All About that Bass” and Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” are examples. Both songs refer to thin women as “skinny bitches” and praise voluptuous body types. But if Minaj’s song were about reversed body types and toted lyrics like “f--the fat bitches,” it would be deemed socially unacceptable. So why is it OK to say that about thin women? What many people don’t know is that they are often mocking thin women without knowing it. I cannot even begin to count the times I have been insulted by my friends without them even knowing their comment was snide. For example, winter had just ended, and a group of us were out for our first run of the season. My pace was about the equivalent of a gimpy turtle, and by the end of the first mile I was puffing my inhaler like it was my job. I uttered the words, “I’m so out of shape.” I instantly regretted my decision. “Oh my gosh, shut up” and “Come on, Beth, look at yourself” spewed out of my friends’ mouths. While this might not seem offensive, after the hundredth time of hearing it, it gets annoying, and I am fed up. You see, I am a normal girl. I love Christmas cookies and candy canes, and I get out of shape over winter just like everyone else. I have a right to be concerned with my physical wellbeing and appearance, and I don’t
need to be reprimanded when I state that concern. Another problem I constantly run into is at the lunch table. Eating with friends is fantastic, and after we all indulge in 12 pounds of ice cream it’s even better, until I say, “Gosh, I feel so fat after all that.” Cue the “What does that make me then?” or “You look like you don’t eat anything at all” comments. I believe everyone’s body feels bloated and sick after eating too much junk food, including mine. I do not say things like this to fish for compliments or make others feel bad about themselves. I say it because for me, my body feels bloated and unhealthy compared to normal. These things are often seen as compliments. Many people don’t realize when they say these things thin women are actually insulted. Being told you look sick because you are so thin is not a compliment no matter how cheerfully you say it and how much you mean it to be nice. Ridiculing me because I feel out of shape despite the number that appears on the scale is wrong. Telling me I practically look anorexic is wrong. I am thin, naturally. Some women are bigger, naturally. And some are smack dab in the middle. No one chose to be born the way they are. Therefore, no one should be shamed because of how they are built. A body is a body, no matter the shape. Tall, short, muscular, thin, wide or weak, we are all human, we all have emotions and figures that need to be respected and loved. All forms of body shaming need to stop now. We shouldn’t be humiliating other body types to validate our own.
Trump center of reckless 2016 campaigns By JoEllen Keenan @iowastatedaily.com “He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.” “The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.” “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems ... they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” I consider myself a fairly humorous person. I tell jokes sometimes. I enjoy laughter. I’ve seen “Trainwreck.” And some other things exist out there that I find completely hilarious. Much like the sham that has been made of the entire 2016 presidential election. Sometimes when I think about the current campaigns, I immediately tell myself to stop thinking about it. The idea of this election sends me into a constant, reoccurring thought of, “What is happening to us as Americans?” Because what is happening to us? If we really take a step back
and look at the big picture, it seems that we have lost so much faith in the American process that we have turned to a pompous reality star-turned politician to put things back together for us. The man cannot even maintain a hairstyle, so why on earth are we looking to him to solve our long-standing problems? How is it that Donald Trump, the man who said those same things quoted above — I mean he really, seriously said those actual things out loud — is the Republican front-runner? And how is it that an independent candidate from Iowa who calls himself Deez Nuts polled at 9 percent in North Carolina? How is it that Kanye West thinks that announcing his plan to run for presidency in 2020 while giving a speech at the MTV Video Music Awards was a good move? How? Even though the “West for President” thing wouldn’t be for another several years, the fact that he felt comfortable enough to share that nugget of information on such a national platform as the VMAs reflects the current status of the democratic process. I’m not sure when it became OK to nonchalantly say you’re running for president, but based on the caliber of a handful of the candidates this
election cycle, I’m assuming they are the ones giving off that message. I mean, come on people. Sure, I find all this funny. I find it funny in the “If I broke my arm and while my mom was taking me to the hospital the GPS started telling us to drive into a lake” kind of funny. But after a while you have to tell the GPS to get it together. We will not drive into the lake. This is not the right way. Take me to the hospital. My arm hurts. That’s what we need to do as a society. We need to say, “Our arm hurts!” We need to stick up for ourselves because Trump becoming president is a terrifying thought. Regardless if you agree with his political views, Trump is racist, sexist and bigoted. He has said terrible things about both Democratic and Republican candidates. He is openly rude to every single person he talks to, and yet somehow we are encouraging him to the point of real-life presidency. Trump has a huge following behind him, despite his constant actions that appear to leave almost everybody with their jaw on the floor. Based on a phone survey taken at the end of August, Trump is leading the race for the Republican candidacy in
Iowa with 32 percent and is followed by Ben Carson, who has 16 percent. On the Democratic side of things, Hillary Clinton is at 45 percent with Bernie Sanders at 17 percent. Meanwhile, all the poll percentages must have given West the idea to run for presidency because on Aug. 30, West announced his future plans for America. Just wait until the 2020 election, and the polls are going to read something along the lines of Kanye West at 35 percent with a pair of socks trailing behind at a steady 12 percent. Don’t worry because once the next presidential election rolls around we will all end up giving the presidency to a rock we found outside the Memorial Union. 2016 is the year of the monkey, according to the Chinese Zodiac, and 2016 is also the year that will give us ample opportunity to make a monkey out of this country. Despite the fact that some may say it was written in the stars, it’s our time to take steps to prevent a colossal screwup in this country of ours. We have to act now or we’ll end up hearing things like this during the State of the Union address: “I do not wear a rug. My hair is 100 percent mine.” — Guess who?
University leaders and campus representatives from all of Iowa’s public universities gathered at Iowa State last week to discuss campus safety policies and services at the first-ever Board of Regents Safety and Security Subcommittee meeting. While the conversation was open to all subjects related to campus security and the services the universities offered, much of the meeting focused on sexual misconduct. More specifically, administrators and public safety officials spoke of being pulled in two different directions — helping the survivor or adhering to state and federal laws. It is deeply concerning that administrators and safety officials at our universities feel as though they cannot fully dedicate themselves to helping survivors of sexual misconduct because their hands are bound by red tape. Why are the governments that are meant to serve us just making it more difficult for those students in need to get help from administrators? These officials specifically struggle with abiding by both the Clery Act and Title IX, and they say the laws can at times feel contradictory or at least do not work to benefit students. The Clery Act requires public colleges and universities to report crime statistics for its campus each year. Title IX prohibits discrimination based on sex in colleges and universities that receive federal funding. While these both sound like positives meant to help survivors of sexual misconduct, Title IX requires universities to immediately take steps to end harassment and prevent it from happening again. Georgina Dodge, chief diversity officer and Title IX coordinator for the University of Iowa, said in the meeting that this may require schools to investigate a sexual misconduct incident without the consent of a survivor. Title IX also requires universities to inform a student if they are the subject of a sexual assault or sexual harassment investigation, called a complainant. This can often lead to retaliation by the complainant and pose a risk to survivors who decide to report the incident. In addition to the mixed messages sent by these two laws, officials also voiced concerns that the reporting process for sexual misconduct survivors is complicated, and university students may not understand it. We often talk about the culture on college campuses that allows for sexual assaults and harassment in relation to irresponsible drinking or partying. Whether we intend it to or not, this kind of conversation can often lead to victim blaming. So let’s flip the conversation. Let’s start talking about what can be done to improve the lives of sexual assault and harassment survivors or how to make the reporting process easier just like these officials were doing at the subcommittee meeting. The editorial board is making a committment to discuss the problems and solutions that surround sexual misconduct on college campuses and to keep the subject at the forefront of our coverage. We hope this will be an ongoing conversation throughout the year, not only among the ISD Editorial Board but among the students as well. The editorial board wants the public discourse on this important issue to go beyond the opinion page of the Iowa State Daily. If you have ideas, comments or questions, write us, email us, tweet at us or write on our Facebook page. Let’s talk about it.

Iowa State Daily Jake Campos was inserted into the ISU lineup for the first time against Kansas State on Sept. 6, 2014. He started the remaining 10 games and has been called a perfectionist by his coach.
By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Fans in the stands at Jack Trice Stadium will have plenty to keep an eye on this weekend — they always do with a rivalry game. But when Iowa State and Iowa play at 3:45 p.m. Saturday, no matchup exists that ISU coach Paul Rhoads finds especially captivating. “I think you’ve got to look at the trenches,” Rhoads said. “Especially in this game, Iowa has always
been so strong on the offensive and defensive line, and they are again this year … So I think I’m keeping my eyes close to the line of scrimmage.” And more specifically, the battle will be most intense between ISU left tackle Jake Campos and Iowa right defensive end Drew Ott. Ott, a 6-foot-4-inch senior, earned honorable mention all-Big Ten honors last season and is an impact player for the Hawkeyes’ defense.
Ott finished with two sacks and combined with defensive end Nate Meier for five tackles for loss during Iowa’s 31-14 win against Illinois State last Saturday. Ott also forced a fumble in the game. “He’ll be a really good player this year,” Campos said. “It’s going to be a real fun challenge for me because he’s a lot of the things that I kind of struggle in. Doing that and playing against him will make me a better player.” Campos, a redshirt

sophomore from West Des Moines, got his first real playing experience last season. He was thrown into the lineup for the first time against Kansas State and then started the final 10 games of the season. Rhoads called Campos a perfectionist, something the left tackle has been working to ease up on this fall. While it may have given him a bit of a technical advantage, Campos doesn’t like to be that hard on himself anymore. “Last year is when it

what we thought were two touchdowns to [Allen Lazard] that he missed; a couple balls off to the side that we’d like to see him complete consistently.” Richardson was also part of a stalled running game that was one of the few negatives from the season opener. His three rushes — a small number of attempts considering Richardson was Iowa State’s leading rusher in 2014 — went for only eight yards, not including sacks. “We think he needs to do a better job with his run fakes,” Rhoads said. “[Richardson] is a guy who is going to run the football, he’s a good runner … He’s gotta make [the defense] aware that he’s a potential ball carrier every time he comes out of [the fake].” Another aspect of the game not shown on paper is the mental component. Richardson’s preparation
was on point, and he was able to understand what the UNI defense was doing, so he could keep it on its toes. “From the mental aspect of the game, he was really good and sharp,” said ISU offensive coordinator Mark Magino. “He knew what they were doing. He got us in the right place.” The Cyclones will take on a Hawkeye defense led in the secondary by safety Jordan Lomax and cornerback Desmond King. Most of Iowa’s defensive backfield played in last season’s Cy-Hawk matchup, giving Richardson and the rest of the offense an idea of what they’ll see Saturday. “I think we knew the guys pretty well,” Richardson said. “We played most of them last year. We’ll see some new faces at linebacker, but I think it’ll be the same defense we’ve seen the last five years.”
really happened,” Campos said. “I really tried getting my form down to make up for my lack of size. This year, it’s kind of showing up where I got into a little bit of a slump during camp. I had a couple days where I feel a bit off. I was pretty hard on myself, but I get right out of it and feel a lot better.” Rhoads said he knows it will take a team effort from the offensive line to win the battle on the front lines, but that the CamposOtt battle will be the true highlight.
“I think that’s a good matchup,” Rhoads said. “Jake certainly has to be motivated because Ott is one of the best in the country — absolute best in the country — and Jake is going to have his hands full.” Campos knows what lies ahead but he said he isn’t concerned. He just wants to enjoy the game. “He’s going to bring it,” Campos said. “He’s going to bring it real hard coming from the Big Ten. “It’ll be fun.”
Youth of ISU tennis team preps for upcoming season By Ryan.Leon @iowastatedaily.com
By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com Entering his final season as a Cyclone, quarterback Sam Richardson has had no shortage of goals and expectations heaped onto his shoulders by both the team and the media. ISU head coach Paul Rhoads named him as potentially one of the best quarterbacks in the Big 12 before the 2015 season. Richardson was also called the team’s “most indispensable player” by ESPN.com this summer. Now, with one game under his belt — albeit a 31-7 rout against Football Championship Subdivision opponent Northern Iowa — Richardson has embarked on the journey to prove those statements correct. He looked good in the season opener, at least on paper. He completed 21of-29 passes, while throwing for 233 yards and two touchdowns. He went 6 for 6 and threw both touchdown passes in the third quarter. Looking away from the stat line, coaches and Richardson have identified some aspects they’d like him to improve. “There were some simple throws that he missed that we’d like to see him hit,” Rhoads said. “He had

Drew Ott finished with two sacks and combined with defensive Nate Meier for five tackles for loss during Iowa’s season opener victory against Illinois State on Saturday.
On a sweltering first day of September, the Forker Tennis Courts are filled with the sounds of pounding feet and the heavy breathing of exhausted players. The ISU tennis team has recently begun preliminary practices for its upcoming 2015-16 season. The Cyclones started a few weeks ago and have tried to make significant progress despite NCAA regulations concerning offseason practice times. “It’s really hard to see anyone emerge when we’re only allowed two hours to practice,” said ISU coach Armando Espinosa. According to new NCAA regulations on practice time, athletes are allowed eight hours of conditioning time. This may seem like plenty, but the rules also state that, “no more than two hours of the permissible eight can consist of individualized skill instruction.” These new rules aren’t being used as an excuse by the Cyclones, who are happy to be back on the court. “The team has really had great intensity throughout all of our prac-
tices,” Espinosa said. “Everybody’s bringing it and is really focused, but the quality is still not where we want it to be.” The Cyclones will have plenty of time to improve their quality ahead of their first match at the Gopher Invitational on Minnesota’s campus Sept. 25. One problem befalling the team this season is trying to replace some key seniors, namely former singles No. 1 Ksenia Pronina. Pronina graduated last year as Iowa State’s all-time leader in singles wins. These seem like big shoes to fill, but the Cyclones believe they have the players necessary to make up for Pronina’s missing wins. The clear prospect would be senior Ana Gasparovic. Gasparovic managed a winning singles record of 8-6 while battling a hand injury for most of the spring season in 2015. “We always talk about getting better and getting more wins in the conference,” Gasparovic said. “I think the expectations will continue growing, and we will do everything we can to meet those expectations.” While they believe they can make up the wins in the singles competition, the doubles matches are an entirely different animal for the Cyclones. Because
of graduating seniors, the team is not returning any doubles pair from last season. “It is hard to start from scratch,” Espinosa said. “It will be very challenging since doubles points are such an important piece to winning.” The Cyclones have plenty of open spots in the lineup and could be forced to implement some of their incoming freshmen. The team added four true freshmen as well as one redshirt freshman. This new depth could be the difference between success and failure for the upcoming season. “It’s really different to come in and be a part of a team like this,” said incoming freshman Maria Regina Espindola. “Everyone here really cares about one another, not only as players but as people. Whether you’re a freshman, [a] senior or [a] coach, we all work to make each other better.” Even though it is the very beginning of the season, the general outlook is positive. The team is confident in its returning and new talent, as well as its coaching staff. Iowa State will fill those holes and start to take shape in the coming weeks ahead of its first major test in Minnesota.

Exercising can be quick and efficient By Kelsey Palmros, @iowastatedaily.com
tion. Use your arms to stabilize yourself by swinging them as you jump. If a jump squat is too challenging, start with a squat and add a heel raise after you extend your legs back up to standing position. Vertical toe touches Lying on the ground with your legs raised vertically in the air, raise your shoulders and head to touch your fingertips to your toes. Plank Start in a pushup extended position then drop to your forearms. Hold this position for 30-60 seconds. Remember to keep your body in a straight line and to not drop your chest or raise your butt in the air. Doing either of these things lessens the intensity of the exercise and thus the impact on your body. . Triceps dip Find a chair or similar object that has a sturdy edge to grip. Face your body away from the object, with your arms bent at a 90-degree angle. Extend your legs in front of your body while balancing on your heels and begin to slowly straighten your arms.
With school back in session, time is limited for many students. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be done with these five, quick exercises. Note that each exercise should be repeated in three sets of 20 repetitions and that 20 reps could be too challenging or too easy. These are realistic guidelines for a starting point. If you want an added challenge, try 10 minutes of cardio such as running or jogging before beginning these exercises. Military pushups While keeping your arms tucked in toward your side and your body in a straight plank position, bend at the elbow, letting your chest just barely touch the ground and then push back up, straightening you arms. If a plank position is too difficult, drop to your knees. Jump squats Start in a squat position. As you begin to stand up add a jump before returning to the starting posi-

METER p1 Center and the east campus parking deck. How it works Parkmobile is an app that enables uses to pay for 503 meters at various locations on campus with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express or PayPal. Users can also sign up for Parkmobile Wallet through the app. With this, they can load up to $75 onto the app to make payments on meters. Director of ISU Parking Division Mark Miller said there is a transaction fee of 35 or 15 cents per use. Miller said those who use Parkmobile Wallet will have a 15-cent fee, while those who use other payments will pay a 35-cent transaction fee. The 75 cents per hour to park will still go to the Parking Division, but the transaction fee users pay will go toward the app company. To use the app, users must also plug in the correct zone number for the lot they park in. Each lot has its own number; Lot 21 is 2710, Lot 100 is 2711 and the east parking deck is 2712. Sessions cannot be stopped and a refund will
not be granted once a user has selected the time and payment method. However, additional time can be added, up to the maximum the meter allows. Miller said users can sign up for an alert that will notify the user when their time is running down. “It will send you a text message that will say, ‘your meter will be expiring in 10 minutes. Would you like to extend the time?’” Miller said. “You can say yes, and that’s still considered the first transaction.” Users can register for the app by downloading it for free onto their smartphone or online. The app is compatible with Apple, Android, Windows and Blackberry phones. How it all started Dan Breitbarth, Student Government president, said Miller identified the need for a better option for students to park on campus. “This is a technologically savvy way of going about parking,” Breitbarth said. “It gives students a convenient way of parking and it didn’t require that much initial capital to invest in this.” Miller said a lot of the
515.294.4123
idea came from the students, in particular, their comments on being unable to pay the meter before receiving a ticket. “In general, they’re doing something and don’t get back to the pre-pay lots,” Miller said. Miller said they selected Parkmobile because of its good background with other universities in the country. “The goal was to give [students] another option not only to extend time if their running late, but to purchase with the convenience of their phones,” Miller said. Iowa State signed a three-year contract with the company, with an option to renew. Miller said one of the main reasons Parkmobile was chosen because of its relatively low transaction fees. “Students are our customers and we want to keep that transaction fee as low as possible,” Miller said. Breitbarth said he and Megan Sweere, Student Government vice president, gave Miller their full support on the project. So far, so good? Miller said the meters have been used successfully

so far without any major issues. He also said almost all of the meters are used at some point during the day. Breitbarth said he has received nothing but positive feedback. “A lot of students are ecstatic,” Breitbarth said. “A lot of students were anxious and even had to leave classes early. There’s an academic benefit to that, don’t have to leave classes early or show up late because they’re worried about paying for parking.” Glenda Storms, 1991 ISU alumna, is a local vendor who visits campus to see clients and parks at these lots. “I think it looks awesome,” Storms said. “It would be nice not to have to pull out my cup of coins every day. I can just plug it into my phone, and I don’t have to stand here in the hot sun or the driving rain or the cold.” Miller said they are always looking for more options and that comes from the feedback the parking division gets from faculty and students. “We always like student feedback, good or bad, but we want constructive feedback.

like to complain.” Breitbarth said he and Sweere will continue to push for more of these meters on campus. Miller said there are no official plans yet, but Parking Division hopes to enable all meters on campus to use this app. Other Parking Division initiatives Along with the Parkmobile app, Parking Division has also completed other initiatives during the last few years to improve people’s parking experience at ISU. In 2013, Miller said they added the Smart Card. The Smart Card is a pre-paid card that works with any of the 767 meters on campus. Miller said they also worked with the city of Ames, so students can use that Smartcard at any yellow meter in the city. Smart Cards can be purchased at room 27 in the Armory for a $5 fee and can be uploaded with up to $300 in funds. The city of Ames, however, allows only up to $50. Push-button meters have also been installed in all free 30 minute parking spaces on campus. Drivers will push the button, and the
meter will track 30 minutes on the space. Miller said by installing these, there has been more turnover with drivers in the space. He also said it’s easier to enforce because ticket riders definitively know when a car has been parked in the space for longer than 30 minutes. Public parking inside the gates on northern campus is now illegal, Miller said, since all vendor, departmental and medical parking has been removed from Osborn Drive. Every meter also has a five-minute grace period for each use. Now, students will have five extra minutes on their time before they can receive a ticket. Parking Division has also given upgrades to ticket writers, who can now take better photos at night. Additionally, tickets are uploaded to the system automatically. Miller said the goal of these changes is to make people park legally on campus. “Our revenue goes down as our fines go up, which is a good thing because people are more compliant,” Miller said. “That’s what we want.”
