Physical Therapy Month Students recognize benefits of health field

BY JULIA.BENDA @iowastatedaily.com MATTHEW ECLATT/ ISD Ames City Council discussed the vacation lodging ordinance and Brookside Park restroom renovations Oct. 8.

The month of October is National Physical Therapy Month to raise awareness about physical therapy and its benefits.

Students at Iowa State take part in exploring the field of physical therapy throughout the month of October and beyond.

Student organizations such as Kinesiology and Health Club and Pre-Physical Therapy Club share an interest in discovering more about aspects of physical therapy. These clubs connect with resources to learn more about physical therapy school, the different areas of physical therapy and the profession as a whole.

DESIGN BY MARIA ALBERS Taking place in October, National Physical Therapy Month aims to bring attention to the field of physical therapy. The Kinesiology and Health Club and Pre-Physical Therapy Club are two student organizations at Iowa State that extend their knowledge on the field during this month and onward.

Ames City Council discussed plans to provide affordable housing to the community at Tuesday evening’s meeting.

In the meeting, it discussed the vacation lodging ordinance, funding for the Brookside Park Restroom Project and a preliminar y plan to transfer areas that have rental housing to homeownership.

The Planning Division for the city of Ames provided incentives toward a conversion of single-family homes from rental properties to homeownership.

The project is designed to advance affordable housing goals, while others prioritize improvements in housing stock regardless of income levels.

Financial incentives vary greatly in the amount and funding source.

“We’ve had the affordable housing goal for six years that we’ve been on Council and I don’t know if we’ve really done anything substantive to address this,” said Amber Corrieri, at-large representative for the Council.

The Council discussed the preliminar y goals for the conversion and

Iowa State alumnus lectures on open access

BY LAUREN.RATLIFF @iowastatedaily.com Tom Schenk, former data chief officer for the city of Chicago, addressed a crowd late Thursday as part of “Open Access Week” at Iowa State.

The University Library is putting on multiple lectures and events throughout the week to celebrate “Open Access Week,” a week dedicated to showing students campus services that are accessible to help make their work open access.

Shenk began his discussion by discussing

the idea of open access.

“It’s a concept of being able to access published results,” Shenk said. “That means you can go read a journal report without having to pay for it.”

Shenk discussed the importance of having access to these files in science-related fields.

In many cases, science research is funded by the government and therefore by taxpayer dollars, and having access to those files can be important to the public.

“People need to be able to access those results to understand how to make their world better,” Shenk said, “When those files

are behind paywalls, it limits the abilities that researchers, such as myself, are able to see those results so that we are able to use them.”

As the former chief data officer for Chicago, Shenk touched on some of his past projects during his lecture. He discussed projects ranging anywhere from food poisoning rates in Chicago to E. coli levels in beaches in the Chicago area.

A lot of the research that went into the E. coli project was not done by paid employees of the city of Chicago, Shenk said.

Weed control advances Researcher speaks on weed seed technology

BY MOLLY.MILDER @iowastatedaily.com Michael Walsh, director of weed research at the University of Sydney, Australia, spoke about weed seed control and the advancement of machinery at his lecture Tuesday. Walsh was introduced by Prashant Jha, associate agronomy professor, at 4:10 p.m. in Horticulture Hall.

“From working with growers and seeing what they were doing, I became interested and enthusiastic to see just how enthusiastic growers were — it was contagious,” Walsh said.

Walsh said he began working with growers in Western Australia to target weed seeds during harvest by developing harvest weed seed control systems.

The systems include chaff cart, narrow windrow burning, bale direct, chaff lining, chaff tramlining and impact mills.

“Targeting weed seeds at harvest is all about stopping inputs into the seed banks,” Walsh said. “Any weeds are relying on a seed bank to be a problem in subsequent crops, so if you can stop the seeds from going to the seed bank, we can decline the seed bank, and therefore your weed problem has declined.”

After system trials, Walsh said many growers were not trusting of these new systems coming from researchers. Walsh set up 30 workshops in 2010 through 2015 where growers presented research findings and communicated with other growers. Walsh said during 2014, 43 percent of Australian growers were using harvest weed seed control systems.

Madeline Frischmeyer, sophomore in agronomy, attended the lecture and asked Walsh about the impact harvest weed seed control systems will have on chemical companies in Australia since herbicide usage is decreasing.

“I thought there would be a lot more resistance from chemical companies,”

GRANT TETMEYER/ IOWA STATE DAILY Presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar answers questions at the 2020 Presidential Candidate Forum on July 15 at the Olmsted Center at Drake University.

MOLLY MILDER/ IOWA STATE DAILY Audience members listened to weed seed researcher Michael Walsh present on the advancements in harvest weed seed control at his lecture Tuesday in Horticulture Hall.

Frischmeyer said. “So, hearing [Walsh’s] opinions on how they are actually going to or should adopt and kind of move into weed management companies, instead of chemical management companies — I thought that was really interesting.”

Based on his research, Walsh said 80 percent of growers in Australia are expected to be using a harvest weed seed control system by the year 2020. Walsh spoke about what will be needed to continue the improvement of harvest weed seed control.

Walsh said his two main improvement goals are to develop site specific weed control technologies and to directly treat the weeds.

As an agronomy major, Frischmeyer said she attended the lecture to get more information on what the next steps are for harvest weed seed control.

“I just think weed management in general is up and coming and it’s what I’m going to go into eventually,” Frischmeyer said. “I thought this would be a good

opportunity to learn a little bit more.”

Walsh also offered advice to the audience for students who are interested in working with harvest weed seed control.

“Get to know growers who are innovators and are willing to have a go at these things,” Walsh said. “For some students, it’s going to be tough because there is very little knowledge about weed seed control here in the [United] States, particularly amongst growers. They need to work with the growers to get the systems in place.”

There are several reasons why people may care about harvest weed seed control and the chemical herbicides used on crops.

“If you like to eat, we need to make sure we are producing crops in an effective manner,” Frischmeyer said. “Also, I believe this new way of controlling weeds is important because people are always concerned about the environment and water quality. We adapt these new tactics, we are using less chemicals so we are being more environmentally stable.”

Food on Campus to raise money

BY EMERSON.LATHAM @iowastatedaily.com Buttons reading “Cy’s the Limit” can be spotted all over campus this week, not only to commemorate Homecoming Week but to give students, staff and Iowa State’s community the opportunity to snag a free meal on Central Campus.

With the five dollar purchase of an official Homecoming button, participants are able to visit the Food on Campus tent on the lawn outside of Curtiss Hall throughout Homecoming Week.

The event started Saturday with a tater tot bar. Monday, Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwiches were served. Fuzzy’s Tacos provided tacos, chips and salsa Tuesday.

Hy-Vee wings will be served Wednesday.

Thursday, Fazoli’s pasta and breadsticks will be served. Two meals will be served on Friday, with Iowa Pork Producers pork burgers for lunch and Pizza Ranch pizza for dinner at the Homecoming Pep Rally.

Shane Dierickx, senior in agricultural business, has been a part of the Homecoming Central committee for two years now and said the Food on Campus event is sponsored by the Student Alumni Leadership Council and the ISU Alumni Center. “ We [also] get help from Student Government, and that’s where a lot of our money comes from,” Dierickx said.

“And then we also have a couple different sponsors in the community.”

Jamie Schechinger, senior in agricultural studies, said she heard about the event through social media and an informational email that was sent out.

“It had a good price for a good meal on campus,” Schechinger said. “I’m able to come all five days, so it was worth the money.”

Francesca Giugno, senior in communication studies, said she was most looking forward to Fazoli’s on Wednesday.

Giugno was not the only one most

excited for the pasta meal.

Cecelia Hammel, health information technician at the Student Health Center, and Christine Matteo, a clerk at the Student Health Center, said they were very excited for Fazoli’s as well.

Matteo said she has been attending the Homecoming Food on Campus event for the past 10 years.

Jennifer Fisher, senior in elementary education, said anyone can buy a button from the front entrance of the tent on Central Campus, and buttons will still be available for purchase after the Food on Campus event is over.

The money raised from selling the buttons will be used to support ongoing and future Homecoming events and programs.

Candidates continue to clash on health care

BY JAKE.WEBSTER @iowastatedaily.com Health care is the single most important issue to American voters.

A YouGov poll released Wednesday found health care in first place when Americans were asked what the most important issue is to them, with 20 percent of Americans saying it is their most important issue. “The economy” followed as the second most important issue at 14 percent.

Only 6 percent of respondents said it is “not very important” or an “unimportant” issue.

Health care has been one of the most discussed issues in the 2020 Democratic primary, taking up time in every debate this cycle. Among Democratic primary voters, health care is a “very important” or “somewhat important” issue for 97 percent of them.

During her latest swing through Iowa on Sunday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren addressed some of the criticism she received from fellow presidential candidates Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar during the Oct. 15 presidential debate.

Speaking in Indianola, Iowa on Sunday, Warren said she has been working for months on a means to pay for her health care plan, adding “it’s got just a little more work until it’s finished.”

Warren is a supporter of “Medicare for All,” a health care plan that would result in the abolition of private insurance companies and the establishment of a government-run single-payer health care system.

In the past when asked about her health care plan, Warren has said she was “with Bernie [Sanders]” on the issue of health care. Sanders originally proposed the Medicare for All plan, and Warren is a co-sponsor of Sanders’ legislation in the Senate establishing a Medicare for All program.

In the Democratic presidential debates Warren has been repeatedly asked whether she would “raise taxes on the middle class” in order to pay for her health care plan, and each time she has declined to give a yes or no answer when prompted to do so.

During the Oct. 15 debate Warren said, “[C]osts will go up for the wealthy. They will go up for big corporations. And for middle-class families, they will go down.”

Klobuchar said Warren was not being honest with voters about the potential for taxes to increase with her plan.

“At least [Sanders is] being honest here,” Klobuchar said in the debate. “I’m sorry, Elizabeth, but you haven’t done that yet.”

Sen. Michael Bennet, a presidential candidate who did not qualify for the last debate, said in an interview with CNN that ideas like Warren’s come with a $31 trillion price tag and they “circle the Earth on Twitter really quickly.”

“But by the time they land, they don’t make any sense to living breathing humans in America,” Bennet said.

Voluntary disability insurance now available

BY CINTHIA.NARANJO @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State and Principal F inancial Group worked together to allow Iowa State employees to voluntarily enroll in long-term individual disability income insurance.

The new changes will be introduced this academic school year. The current standard long-term disability coverage policy covers a part of pre-disability salary and taxes. Those taxes reduce the payment for those who are enrolled. It is paid monthly and pays 63 percent of the budgeted salary of an employee. The maximum is $10,000 per month.

Iowa State employees have the opportunity to apply for the long term disability insurance during their first year of employment during the benefits enrollment period or during the open change period.

“Long-term disability has been offered for many years; what we have recently offered is a voluntary individual disability insurance option,” said Edward Holland, University Human Resources director.

Holland said the insurance is not focused on the type of disability, but on the determination of whether the employee can work due to their disabling injury or illness.

The new disability income coverage allows recipients to increase on monthly

payments and increases the amount of the recipients’ prior salary.

The coverage is not subsidized by Iowa State, meaning the premiums cannot be paid with automatic payments through Iowa State payroll deductions for coverage.

Personalized premiums vary depending on the recipients’ salary, coverage and other factors.

Personalized premiums allow negotiable discount for employees. The payments must be paid to Principal Financial Group.

The University Human Resources website stated premium policies can be paid in full

by Iowa State after one full year of continuous and active employment.

The policy may continue even if the employee is no longer employed at Iowa State. Employees can make adjustments or cancel their policy at any time; however, insurability validation will be required.

Benefit payments can be arranged with

primary and dependents’ social security and workers’ compensation benefits.

Principal Financial Group also offers several other plans, such as long-term disability and life insurance, to Iowa State employees.

“Long-term disability insurance coverage helps [employees] replace more of their income if they can’t work due to a disabling illness or injury,” Holland said. “Plus, they are able to take the individual policy with them wherever their career takes them.”

Principal Financial Group representatives will be holding an informational session soon on campus for employees who are interested in applying. There is currently no set date for the event.

Potential lost to pandering TV shows have poor content due to politics

BY CONNOR.BAHR @iowastatedaily.com Popular movies and TV shows today are incredibly divided when it comes to what is hailed as a masterpiece versus what is seen as terrible.

For example, the newest show to come to the Arrowverse, “Batwoman,” has a 71 percent critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, yet only a 12 percent audience score.

I t h i n k t h e re a s o n f o r t h i s divide can be found in the reviews themselves: “The best part of the new series is that unfussy, effortless w a y o f g e t t i n g K a t e ’s s e x u a l orientation out of the way,” “What can be as satisfying as a superhero in step with the times?” It can also be found in the critic consensus: “Though it needs more time to develop its own identity to truly soar, Batwoman’s fun and stylish first season is a step in the right direction for representation and superhero shows alike.”

You can see that almost every review doesn’t focus on writing, acting or plot to explain why they think it is good. Despite the fact that the show has almost no depth, seems to have been made with the weekly allowance of a ten-year-old and has a plot that could not have taken longer than a day to write for the whole season, critics laud “Batwoman” because the show is ultimately not about telling a good story or introducing a character into the Arrowverse, but about representation and politics.

COURTESY WIKIMEDIA COMMONS Columnist Connor Bahr argues popular CW shows are giving up chances to develop “real themes” for the sake of appealing to a political agenda in their scripts.

A similar case is shown in Batwoman’s sister show, “Supergirl,” whose first season was rated 92 percent by critics, but only 54 percent by the audience. The problem with these shows is that they care more about pushing an agenda than actually making content that people want to watch.

While “Supergirl” is a good watch during the action and plot scenes (despite the difficulty of making

any of the “Supers” interesting), the unnecessary, one-line quips that are clearly politically motivated remind me that the writers don’t care about the show except to use it as a political medium.

On top of that, it takes away from real themes that the show could deal with. “Arrow,” the founder show of the Arrowverse, has themes of guilt and struggling with inner demons.

“The Flash” is constantly getting

stabbed in the back by people he saw the best in and trusted too easily. “The Legends Of Tomorrow” characters struggle with having a sense of self and restraining themselves for the greater good when they have the ability to change their tragic pasts. These are all real, thought-provoking themes, while the shallow themes of “Batwoman” and “Supergirl” are focused on pandering to identity politics.

C l e a r l y, a s s e e n i n b o t h “S upergir l” and “Batwoman’s” ratings, audiences, including myself, are simply getting annoyed. I have no problems with shows that have strong female leads or have themes of women’s plight through life if done well. What I have a problem with are these elements being sloppily thrown into content that has potential simply for the sake of pandering.

I support Beto O’Rourke for his American vision

BY JACOB LUDWIG jcludwig@iastate.edu Over the past summer, I participated in a handful of political events, talked with voters from both parties and did some soul searching.

In these discussions, I discovered a shared disillusionment with the moment we are living in. Questions about the kind of country we should be are on the minds of many of our fellow citizens.

Through those conversations, I also found a yearning for a leader that reflects the best of American values.

A leader who has a new vision for American prosperity. A leader who will take up the effort to expand our founding creed to include all citizens and those who seek to join our ranks.

I found that leader in Beto O’Rourke.

To g e t t h e b e s t i d e a o f B e t o’s character, I needed to see him in person. Late this last summer, I had a chance to hear him speak at Grand

View University. Beto defined a vision of America’s promise through the eyes of someone who grew up in a border community.

He spoke about why immigrants come to America, saying that “They were inspired by America, by the idea of America — what Langston Hughes called the land that never has been yet, and yet must be. This more perfect union that we have never formed. This ideal that we are all created equal, that we never really fulfilled, and yet, to which each of us, I hope, still aspire.

That’s what brings the people of the planet to our shores. That’s what made us the greatest country on the face of the planet.”

Beto’s progressive vision is informed by these values that have, for so long, defined what it means to be American.

They inform his approach to the climate crisis, mass shootings, health care and racial inequality. Starting from those principles, and looking at those issues, Beto has sought to renew the

A challenging trio Iowa State to rely on defense against Oklahoma State

yards and a touchdown.

Over a year later, Purdy gets to face the same team that he played a hand in beating in 2018.

“I just wanted to keep things simple and play football,”Purdy said.

“I was just like ‘hey, this is almost just like high school’ but obviously everyone is faster and stronger.”

Purdy took the starting quarterback job from Zeb Noland and never gave it up, as he led the Cyclones to an Alamo Bowl appearance and an 8-5 season (7-2 with Purdy at the helm).

Iowa State is 5-2 this season and the Cyclones have leaned on their second-year quarterback for most of the offensive production, but the last couple of games have shown someone else get into the mix.

Iowa State has hit its groove in the month of October, and this week the Cyclones will play one of the better offenses in the Big 12 led by key players at important positions. Iowa State and Oklahoma State square off Saturday for the Cyclones’ Homecoming game.

STOPPING THE ATTACK Oklahoma State has an explosive offense that can cause problems for any defense in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). At the forefront are three key weapons: quarterback Spencer Sanders, wide receiver Tylan Wallace and running back Chuba Hubbard.

Sanders is a redshirt freshman who leads the dynamic attack, and Wallace commands a ton of respect on the outside as he has hauled in the second-most receptions per game of anyone in the conference and is pacing the same field when it comes to yards per game. These two weapons would be enough to worry any defensive coordinator, but it’s Hubbard who is the most impressive.

Hubbard is averaging 180.7 rushing yards per game, which is way above anyone else in the conference — Kansas’ Pooka Williams is second at 105.8 yards per game.

Hubbard has also found pay dirt 15 times on the ground, which is five more times than second place in the conference — Oklahoma’s Jalen Hurts — and nine more times than Iowa State’s quarterback Brock Purdy, whose six rushing scores have him at a tie for fourth in the conference.

The Cyclones defeated the Red Raiders 34-24.

Hubbard’s 1,265 yards and 15 touchdowns both lead the FBS as well.

“We’ve been fortunate in my time to be able to coach a really good running back,” said coach Matt Campbell. “He’s got all the qualities of what great running backs have the ability to do.”

Campbel l mentioned his pass-catching ability as well, but Oklahoma State gives Hubbard the ball more than anyone in college football. On the season, Hubbard

has already rushed the ball 194 times — good for just under 28 times per game.

PURDY BACK IN SPOTLIGHT I o w a S t a t e ’s s o p h o m o r e quarterback was put into action last season against Oklahoma State, and he brought an immediate offensive explosion with him.

Purdy threw for 318 yards and four touchdowns in his first-ever collegiate experience while also rushing the ball 19 times for 93

(H)ALL RISE Freshman running back Breece Hall put forth his best effort Saturday against Texas Tech, eclipsing his career-high in yards from the previous week against West Virginia with a monstrous — or if you’re Chuba Hubbard, pedestrian — 187 yards and two-touchdown performance on the ground.

Hall added a long reception on a swing pass catch-and-run for 61-yards and two more receptions that brought his receiving total to 73 yards on the day.

“With Breece, he can bounce off a tackle and get two or three extra yards,” said wide receiver Deshaunte Jones.

Jones said that was a similarity he sees in Hall to last year’s starter David Montgomery, who is now a member of the Chicago Bears backfield.

Iowa State plays Oklahoma State at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Ames.

Iowa State sees change in ranking

BY ADARSH.TAMMA @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State cross country teams saw some shifts in the most recent national rankings.

The latest national poll, conducted by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches’ Association (USTFCCCA), saw significant changes on both the men’s and women’s rankings across the board.

This was after practically every ranked squad participated in either the Wisconsin Nuttycombe Invitational or Under Armour Pre-National Invitational.

O n Fr i d a y, t h e I o w a S t a t e m e n’s and women’s teams both competed at Nuttycombe, an event with the opportunity to gain some key big-race notes before the post season-filled month of November.

The Cyclone women saw an exit from the national top-30 for the first time this season.

Iowa State lost its No. 29 ranking from last week after finishing 27th out of 34 teams at Nuttycombe.

The Cyclones were led by defending Big 12 and NCAA Midwest Regional individual

champion Cailie Logue in their efforts. The junior from Erie, Kansas, placed 25th among a field of some of the nation’s best runners as the Cylcones amassed 656 total points with some strong finishes down the stretch.

Iowa State also fell in the Midwest Regional rankings, dropping four spots to seventh as conference opponent Oklahoma State rose up to the No. 2 spot behind Illinois.

Over on the men’s side, it was a bit of a push upwards as the Cyclones moved back up into the top-five of the national rankings behind No. 1 Northern Arizona.

The Cyclones retained their No. 1 Midwest Regional ranking as well.

The Cyclones finished fourth in the overall team standings in Madison, Wisconsin, on Friday in a field that included 20 of the top-30 squads from all over the country.

Iowa State was led in that race by senior All-American Edwin Kurgat, who is slowly making his case as the favorite at a run for the individual crown at the NCAA National Championships on Nov. 23.

Kurgat, who was just named USTFCCCA Men’s National Athlete of the Week,

finished first in a stacked field — crossing the line nearly ten seconds clear of second place finisher Oliver Hoare of Wisconsin.

Behind Kurgat, the rest of the Cyclones had a confident showing as well, as all of Iowa State’s runners finished within the top-100 to amass 180 total points. The Cyclones finished behind top-five squads such as Northern Arizona and Stanford and surprise-package Tulsa, who shot up 22 spots to No. 6 in the nation after their performance.

Both the Iowa State men’s and women’s teams have a little over a week off. The Cyclones will travel to Baylor University on Nov. 2 as they look to defend their Big 12 conference championships.

Cyclones place top 20 in InterMat rankings

BY STEPHEN.MCDANIEL @iowastatedaily.com Wrestling season for Iowa State is right around the corner, and things are starting to kick off as InterMat Wrestling released their NCAA Division I rankings on Tuesday morning.

Iowa State is primed for a big season and the early rankings are helping to build the hype as eight Cyclones find themselves listed in the top 20 for their respective weight classes, which leads the Big 12 for most wrestlers ranked. Wyoming and Utah Valley are just trailing the Cyclones with six wrestlers each ranked.

Weight class: 125 pounds Wrestler: Alex Mackall (R-Jr.) InterMat Ranking: No. 13 Weight class: 133 pounds Wrestler: Austin Gomez (R-So.) InterMat Ranking: No. 5 Weight class: 141 pounds Wrestler: Ian Parker (R-Jr.) InterMat Ranking: No. 13 Weight class: 149 pounds Wrestler: Jarrett Degen (R-Jr.) InterMat Ranking: No. 3 Weight class: 157 pounds Wrestler: David Carr (R-Fr.) InterMat Ranking: No. 13 Weight class: 165 pounds Wrestler: Chase Straw (R-Sr.) InterMat Ranking: No. 20 Weight class: 184 pounds Wrestler: Sam Colbray (R-Jr.) InterMat Ranking: No. 6 Weight class: Heavyweight Wrestler: Gannon Gremmel (R-Jr.) InterMat Ranking: No. 18 Alongside the individual rankings, Iowa State landed itself in the top-10 for tournament teams and dual meet teams. It is one of two Big 12 teams that cracked into the top-10 rankings, with the other team being Oklahoma State.

The Cyclones were placed at No. 10 for tournament teams and placed at No. 8 for dual-meet teams. Oklahoma State reversed the order, getting placed at No. 8 for tournament teams and No. 10 for dual meet teams.

Some dates for wrestling fans to look out for are Oct. 29, Iowa State Wrestling’s Media Day, and Nov. 10, when Iowa State opens its season with the Harold Nichols Cyclone Open 9 a.m. at Hilton Coliseum.

COURTESY OF GETTY IMAGES Womxn of Colour Network is an Iowa State organization that was created to be a safe space for underrepresented women to be themselves and share their unique backgrounds with others.

Making space for diversity

Womxn of Colour Network connects minoritized groups

BY EMILY.URBAN @iowastatedaily.com From Sept. 27 to 28, the Womxn of Colour Network hosted its annual Womxn of Colour Network Retreat. Around 40 students showed up for the overnight trip to eat s’mores, socialize and learn from an admirable group of faculty and staff from Iowa State.

T h e Wo m x n o f C o l o u r N e t w o r k meets twice a week to give a voice to underrepresented and minority groups of women at Iowa State. According to faculty adviser Ashley Garrin, the organization

provides a place for women of color to share their experiences, authentic selves and ideas with one another.

“I think it is awesome that students — women of color students — have this space on our campus,” Garrin said. “There is not a ton of women of color right here at Iowa State.”

The program started through a grant for diversity in 2011. The current organization organizes events, retreats and the Womentorship mentorship program at Iowa State. Social events planned outside of the bi-weekly meetings help the students get to know one another and socialize.

“It started as that initial kind of temporary

grant, but it has been sustained through various university partners throughout all this time,” Garrin said.

The organization recently added new members to the executive board, and the change has been reflected in their plans for the future. The organization plans to host an exhibit called “Interrupt the Space” to represent their goals through visuals and art.

According to Garrin, Womxn of Colour Network events are not exclusive to one ethnicity or any certain type of person. “ This is like a variety of people from various backgrounds […] it is just an interesting collection of people,” Garrin said. “Obviously, you can create this type of community in other organizations or other things that you do, but to have one that is dedicated to it I think is really cool.”

Garrin said she did not have an organization like Womxn of Colour when she attended Iowa State for her undergraduate and graduate degrees.

“I think just having a space to build community and shared spaces is important,” Garrin said. “Also so that they can reflect on their experiences to make sure that they are not dreaming about what is happening to them.”

Garrin commented on how she keeps motivation for this network and where she finds her greatest inspiration: the students.

“I am just continually encouraged by the work that the students do, the things that they think of,” Garrin said. “This spring they are going to do an exhibit in the Multicultural Center, and it is called ‘Interrupt the Space.’

It is all about how women of color show up in spaces and various ways to interrupt

the space, but [portrayed] through art and visuals. I think it is going to be completely awesome. I am so here for whatever, however they want to carry this out. They are super inspiring.”

The opportunity to be faculty adviser was not something Garrin sought out, but something that was offered to her. She’s grateful the opportunity found her.

“At first, when they asked me to be the faculty advisor, I was just like, ‘Can I? Do I have the credentials to do that? What does this mean?,’ Garrin said. “I am so thankful that they did ask me because it is just awesome. Even though I work with undergrad students all day every day, it is a different way to work with students.”

There are many things that make the Womxn of Colour Network special. Garrin commented on a select few.

“I think again because of the unique perspectives that women of color have,” Garrin said. “Obviously, even though this group is made up of a variety of ethnicities and races, there is still this common thread about navigating spaces like Iowa State.”

The network acts as a place of reassurance, shared experiences and motivation for each other to thrive, despite their hardships. For Garrin, getting to see these and other things happen before her own eyes is uplifting and makes her job worthwhile. “ I t i s re a l l y c o o l t o s e e o r t o h a v e conversations with the students about different things, connect them to different resources when I can […] and having that really strong relationship with the Women in Gender Equity Center on campus or with Sloss,” Garrin said.

the president of Iowa State’s Pre-Physical Therapy Club and said she is also a personal trainer on campus. Henning said this has opened her eyes to another aspect of health and all that is available in the health field.

Henning also said the club brings in multiple physical therapy programs from within a three hour radius of Iowa State.

The Pre-Physical Therapy Club has guest speakers attend each meeting. The clubs also give students the chance to talk with one another about why they are interested in physical therapy and what they would like to do in their career.

“I actually had my own physical therapy after a surgery that I had way back in high school,” Henning said. “And that kind of sparked my interest in the field and all the physical therapists there noticed how interested I was and everything, so they offered me a part-time job as a rehabilitation aid.”

Nicholas Dilley, freshman in kinesiology and health, said his goal is to learn about the physical therapy field as a whole. Dilley said he spent a lot of time with a physical therapist and liked the idea of helping someone get better and back to action.

“That whole [physical therapy] field is really interesting to me,” Dilley said. “I recently started a health and wellness committee in my fraternity and [we are] trying to focus on every aspect of health and wellness.”

Dilley said he had the chance to work with emergency medicine prior to arriving at Iowa State. He had the opportunity to work side by side with health professionals

lived by a golf course, so of course golf balls would get in the cornfield. They would let us keep the golf balls as long as we got them out of the field. So we would go around the neighborhod selling them and that would give us enough money to start a lemonade stand. Then we would have the lemonade stand and use that to buy things to buy friendship bracelets. Then it was ductape to make ductape pens. So I guess I was always starting businesses when I was young, but I never saw myself really doing it.”

“For me, growing up I saw myself as the employee but not the employer,” Mutunda said. “The thing that really helped me was my first purse. I was at school and someone was like, ‘I like your bag’ and I said, ‘I could make one for you.’ She brought me a pair of her jeans and I made it for free, but she wanted to pay me and then brought me five more people who wanted purses.”

“How do you guys identify what a problem was and provide value?”

“We went around the backyard,” Bias said. “We started with the property and we saw it as a venue, as a place to go and get away and go hiking and do all these other things. So we went back and tried to find a problem that we were providing a solution for.”

“Growing up I was from a small town,” Jones said. “I think just watching them lose their grocery store that I remember loving as a child. I went there all the time. Then watching the devastation that took over the community when they lost the grocery store — people not being able to get groceries — I think that is what started it.”

“What is your favorite place to create?”

“I like Bergie’s Coffee,” Bias said. “That’s where I like to create.”

“I like to be outside,” Gifford said.

“Unfortunately, living in Iowa you get about three months of outside time.

Usually by the library during the summer is where you will find me.”

“I like the browsing library in MU,” Jones said. “It’s across from Panda Express.”

in emergency situations.

“I got to do a lot of anatomy and kind of spur of the moment anatomy,” Dilley said. “I had a guy that was in a motorcycle accident and I could [put] my hands on his hips and feel his shattered pelvis shifting around and just [get] to work with doctors and even physical therapists in the hospital that would come into the room and you could talk to them.”

Some students discover their passion for the physical therapy profession through family members who are health professionals.

Emily Samman, sophomore in kinesiology and health, said she wanted to be a nurse when she was in high school. Samman obtained her Certified Nursing Assistant license but said she wasn’t sure if it was what she really wanted to do, although she still thought she was interested in a health profession.

“My cousin is a physical therapist, so I shadowed him last year over winter break and fell in love with [physical therapy] there,” Samman said. “I was like, ‘Okay this is exactly what I want to do,’ especially with the people interaction [...]. I really enjoy interacting with people and I really think the human body is really fascinating.”

Tim Vander Wilt, physical therapist at the Ames Kinetic Edge Physical Therapy clinic and Ames clinic manager, attended a Kinesiology and Health Club meeting to share his experience and advice with the students.

Vander Wilt obtained a degree in exercise science from Central College and then earned his master of science degree in physical therapy from Des Moines University.

“Get a variety of experience so that you guys “Mine is my living room,” Mutunda said.

“It’s where I have my sewing machine, I have my sketchbooks, I have all my fabrics and everything there.” “ W h o h a s p l a ye d a r o l e i n yo u r business?”

“For me, I would say the entrepreneurial community at Iowa State has had a big role,” Bias said. “I was at a community college before I transferred to Iowa State, so there was really no community at that campus. When I was able to transfer here I was in the CyStarters program and that really created a community for me and I met a lot of people who provided guidance to me.”

“I am very close with my grandmother and I remember one time as a kid when she tossed a magazine at me,” Jones said.

“It was Time magazine and it was the top 100 most influential people of the year.

She said, ‘I want you to be on this list some day.’ That is a lot of pressure for a 12-yearold, and if there is anything important I learned from her it is that if you live your life serving people, then you do not need a magazine to tell you the impact.”

“What words do you identify with if not entrepreneur?”

“I feel like my major encompasses all of my different interests, so I’d say I identify with the idea of event manager,” Bias said.

“I still identify with entrepreneur as well.”

“I still definitely identify with it,” Gifford said. “I think selfishly I like to think of myself as an artist, not separate from my business, but I value both the components of being an artist and being a business owner.”

“I think [...] I identify with the word entrepreneur, but a lot of the times [when] I think about what I am doing and I describe what I am doing I think more of words like ‘giving back to those who raised you’ or ‘being servant-hearted,’” Jones said.

“I just say fashion designer and small business owner just to be more serious,” Mutunda said.

This panel leads up to the “Women Who Create Conference” on Thursday.

are prepared,” Vander Wilt said. “When they go and they interview you for [physical therapy] school they want to see that you’ve had different experiences and different settings.”

Vander Wilt also talked about the work he does at the Kinetic Edge Physical Therapy clinic in Ames. He discussed the variety of issues treated at the clinic.

“What we generally see in our clinic is everything,” Vander Wilt said. “Low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, ankle pain — whatever you can think of.”

Vander Wilt also discussed physical therapy school and provided his personal insight as to what students can expect in the future of the physical therapy field and the professions that are part of it.

“Most people get jobs once you get out of school,” Vander Wilt said. “There’s a pretty high demand for [physical therapists] and I think it’s only going to get better in the future.

Everything health care wise is going towards preventative and exercise-based stuff, so we probably have pretty good job security.”

Samman said she likes to hear about the various focuses people in the physical therapy profession have.

“There’s a lot of different areas of physical therapy,” Samman said. “So, hearing from the different areas is really important to get a wellrounded view of what [physical therapy] is.”

Dilley said he liked the idea of working with sports medicine and helping athletes when recovering from an injury to get them back to full health.

Henning said she plans to work with orthopedic sports medicine as she has the most exposure to it and enjoys the work. She

divided it into four issues.

The Council first moved to provide reimbursement for rehabilitation work, up to an established incentive limit, which the Council said is intended to provide an incentive to the property owners to convert.

It also addressed if the funding would be provided through grants or loans. The Council chose not to take any actions on the second issue, leaving this option to city of Ames Planning and Housing Director Kelly Diekmann to decide.

The third issue provided primary options for financial incentives pertaining to rental conversions, which the Council also took no action on, leaving the option to Diekmann.

The fourth issue included household eligibility and determined if the primary purpose would be for rehabilitation or acquisition. The Council said they are interested in both and will look into what can be done.

“I’ve got areas in my neighborhood that are 56 percent to 70 percent rental; there are pockets where the imbalance [between rental and homeowners’ properties] is tremendous,” said Gloria Betcher, Ward 1 representative. “Some of the reasons for that are that the homes are being purchased as homes for students at Iowa State, parents purchasing homes or people buying homes for vacation rental.”

The Council then moved to discuss an ordinance pertaining to vacation lodging in Ames.

The current vacation lodging of the residential units, such as Airbnbs, “has the potential

We would see the same patients everyday and you could see the progression week to week.”

Henning is currently in the process of applying to physical therapy school and said she’ll see where it takes her. “[With physical therapy,] there’s always opportunities and a ton of different settings that you can be in,” Henning said. “So, just because you don’t think you want to work in a hospital, there is a lot of other settings that you can choose to work in.”

Vander Wilt said after students complete physical therapy school and are searching for a job, it is important for students to find a clinic that fits their personality.

According to Iowa State’s Thielen Student Health Center, Iowa State offers physical therapy for students and faculty that need rehabilitation for injuries or illness. The department of physical therapy and sports medicine is located on the second floor of the Thielen Student Health Center.

The Council voted to move for the second passage for Chapter 13, 29 and 13 to establish definitions, standards and enforcement procedures for licensing of guest lodging in specified zoning districts.

Additionally, the Council moved to award the Brookside Restroom Project to Henkel Construction for $295,000.

The restrooms were damaged by a fire in 2018, and the current renovation plans will include four gender-neutral bathrooms compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Due to the differences in estimates between the architect and the bidding contractors, the Council moved for an alternative one on Oct. 8, which accepted the report of the bids but did not award a contract for the time being.

Keith Abraham, director of parks and recreation, said he spoke with the architect about the bid difference. “[The architect] felt that the bids were reasonable with some of the items that were tied with the costs and so on,” Abraham said.

The Council then moved to approve the use of $6,525 in savings from the completed Brookside Park Path Lighting Project, $6,882 in savings from the completed Maintenance Building Electrical Update and up to $81,805 from the Park Development for the Brookside Park Restroom Project.

The Council will also have its joint meeting with Iowa State Student Government 6 p.m.
