Fall Monday Monologues end with poetry BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com

DESIGN BY TALIA TORPY Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy proves himself to be one of the football program’s best players in his first full year as a starter.

The rhyme and flow of poetry echoed through the Grant Wood Foyer in Parks Library on Monday. This week’s Monday Monologue performance went from 12:15 to 12:45 p.m. and was the last performance of the semester. “When I reached out to Deb Marquart about doing something at Monday Monologues again this semester, she was excited to let me know she is teaching a poetry class this semester,” said Susan Jasper, program coordinator for Parks Library. “It is an opportunity for new budding poets to share their works.” After Jasper’s introduction, Debra Marquart, a distinguished professor of English and the Iowa Poet Laureate, explained the plan for this Monday Monologue. “I volunteered this class to do a reading before class started,” Marquart said. “I appreciate that some brave souls agreed to go along with this experiment. We have about 11 readers with one poem each.” The Marquart started with a poem of her own, titled “Kablooey is the Sound You’ll Hear.” The poem described the time Marquart’s sister fired a shotgun into the ceiling of her brother’s room. “Kablooey is the sound you’ll hear, then plaster falling and the billow of gypsum, after your sister blows a hole in the ceiling of your brother’s bedroom with the shotgun, he left loaded and resting on his dresser,” Marquart said. Next was Ellen Sattler, senior in horticulture, who read a poem titled “Heavy Handed Grace.” “Sometimes my words flow out faster than I can manage,” Sattler said. “Muscles wove my face into a million emotions as I narrate a bold attempt, a hilarious misunderstanding, an eventful day.” Next was Pauline Miller, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute selection committee member, who read a poem connecting to Native American Heritage Month.

Textbook return nears with Finals Week BY SAGE.SMITH @iowastatedaily.com The deadline for students to return their rental textbooks is the Wednesday after Finals Week. Carl Arbuckle, Bookstore specialist, is a course materials buyer at the Iowa State University Bookstore. Arbuckle focuses on the print textbooks, rental program, buyback program and student choice e-book. The Bookstore offers buyback almost every day it is open. Students can return their rental books any day during business hours as long as they take the rentals to the Bookstore. Students can also sell back textbooks and return their rentals in one transaction. “As far as buyback goes, we recommend if you can wait until finals week when we set up the

big buyback,” Arbuckle said. “That’s when we’re paying highest prices, so if it’s a week until Finals Week or Dead Week and you want to sell a book back, I would wait a few extra days because you could get a lot more money back.” The big buyback will begin the Thursday of Dead Week, Dec. 12. The buyback can be found in the Bookstore. “We’re typically less busy earlier in the week,” Arbuckle said. “If they wait until Tuesday, Wednesday,Thursday of Finals Week, they might have to wait in a line, although the wait in line really is never as long as it looks like. If it looks like there’s a big line, chances are it’s only about 10 minutes. The lines have been pretty short the last few semesters.” Arbuckle said another thing the Bookstore wants to educate students on is they will take

books as long as they are books they currently need. It doesn’t matter where the books were purchased from, such as from Amazon or fellow students. In addition to the big buyback the Bookstore has at the end of the semester, they do offer several off-site locations for students to return their rented textbooks. Some of these locations include Frederiksen Court, Union Drive Community Center and Maple-Willow-Larch Commons. “One thing we did change this year is we used to do a set up out at the Towers, but we had so little traffic the last couple years, so we discontinued that,” Arbuckle said. “So we won’t be at the Towers this year; that’s a change. But we’ll be at all our other normal off-site locations.” Students have the chance to return their books at these locations beginning the Thursday of

Dead Week, and they will be available until the middle of the Friday of Finals Week. A common problem the Bookstore and students can experience is the situation of a damaged rental textbook. If a student damages a book with drinks, food or other substances, they will not be able to return the book. Arbuckle said if the Bookstore rejects a book for damage, he recommends students get it taken care of the same day while at the store. “We do have a policy where if you take care of it in the store that day, we’ll let you pay just the difference between your rental fee and the purchase price,” Arbuckle said. “So you’re really only paying the same as if you would have bought it in the first place.”

Concern for rainforest grows BY MORRGAN.ZMOLEK @iowastatedaily.com Brazilian evangelicals display environmental concern under their newly elected president. On Nov. 6, Amy Smith, associate professor of political science and liberal arts and sciences dean’s professor, published an article on a website called The Conversation discussing how Brazilian evangelicals will react in regard to the fires spreading through the Amazon rainforest. Smith, who does various research studies in relation to religion and politics, was conducting a project in Brazil in 2014 about churches and politics and how religious ideas fit into the way people understood the drought that was happening from 2014 to 2017. This project sparked her interest in the relation between climate change and various religions around the world. Evangelicalism, a denomination within the bounds of Christianity, is a movement that believes salvation only comes through an individual’s faith in Jesus’ forgiveness, according to the National Association of Evangelicals website. As such, according to a poll citation in Smith’s article, this religious group in the United States is typically one of the least likely groups to believe in the existence of climate change or that it is, subsequently, a human-produced issue. Many who do acknowledge the existence of climate change are of the mind that it is a symbol of God’s wrath upon the human population for abusing the environment given to them by God.

COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA COMMONS The view of the Amazon Basin forest north of Manaus, Brazil, from the top of a 50 meter tower for meteorological observations (the top of vegetation canopy is typically 35 meters).

According to Smith, there are two denominations within evangelicalism: Pentecostal and non-Pentecostal evangelicals. Non-Pentecostal evangelicals, also known as traditional evangelicals, have a strong belief in the action of the Holy Spirit. They believe that the Holy Spirit causes miracles and rewards people for faith. Pentecostal evangelicals tend to be more conservative and more focused on the supernatural as it pertains to daily lives. In Brazil and around the world, however, evangelicals take an opposing stance to the beliefs of those in the United States, according to Smith’s article. This difference has a direct correlation with the election of new president Jair Bolsonaro, a climate skeptic, in 2018. During the election, Bolsonaro greatly

appealed to groups such as the evangelicals because he, like them, holds extremely conservative beliefs about topics like gay marriage, gender, sexuality and religious roles in society. Now is a different story. Bolsonaro completely removed restrictions concerning the utilization of fires for tree-clearing in the Amazon. According to another article, “Strict Amazon Protections Made Brazilian Farmers More Productive, New Research Shows,” which Smith linked in her own article, Bolsonaro believes that conservation zones and steep fines for removing trees are halting Brazil’s economic growth. Among plans such as cutting down on fines for those who clear Amazon land illegally, Bolsonaro also plans to dismantle Brazil’s Ministry of the Environment, which is in charge of enforcing

“ W hat you heard is true,” Miller said. “I am the woman who was arrested. You know Mount Rushmore, those stone-faced dudes carved up there to honor wealthy white males. The ones who have ruled this world long enough.” Jobe Fee, junior in performing arts, read a poem about starting projects at the last minute. “A man wakes up, only to find he is hurtling through space at 122 miles per hour,” Fee said. “And the expanse of it all really provides perspective, I am infinite but yet my time grows short. My problems are all I have but they mean nothing when you are hurtling through space at 122 miles per hour.” Then it was Terianne Marsh, senior in psychology, who read the poem “No Means.” The poem described a violent interaction where a man tries to sexually assault a woman. “‘No.’ A soft voice left my lips, I didn’t need to think, just answer, it’s not what I wanted,” Marsh said. “‘Oh c’mon, don’t be like that.’ A light laugh left pursed lips, suggesting I am just being coy.” M a d r i n a D e c k e r, s e n i o r i n English, read a poem she said connects to recent events on campus. The poem is titled “Down and Up.” “I was talked down to, so much that I became down, but down can always get back up,” Decker said. “Down is only temporary. Some might kick you while you’re there, others might offer a hand. Either way, you are down on your own.” Jordyn D ubois, senior in

laws like the one Bolsonaro is getting rid of. E v a n g e l i c a l a p p r o v a l o f Pr e s i d e n t Bolsonaro went from 68 percent during his election campaign to 37 percent now, according to Smith’s article. Intense push-back from not only the evangelical population and the citizens of Brazil as a whole, but also the entire world has forced the president to issue a ban for 60 days on all burning in the area. This has led to the fewest forest fires in the Amazon in the month of October since 1998. New environmental alliances between scientists and the evangelist population are already being created to help save the Amazon from sustaining further damage. For this coalition to be successful, however, Smith said there has to be an emphasis on the language used between the two groups. “Evangelical groups are interested in the environment,” Smith said. “But they need people to frame it as being urgent. They see economy and religion as more urgent. They need public spokespeople to talk about [environmental issues] as an urgent issue in public sphere.” Smith said the protection of the environment is critical for everyone, which is why her research is important, and she wants to display how different issues such as climate change are increasingly polarized and politicized in their dialogue. She said she believes her work provides examples of how people can work together toward a positive change. “The goal is a different way of talking about religion and religious theology and to bring new political coalitions for environmental sustainability,” Smith said.

Practice swing, air whisks by, now its time for me. Smacked behind, tee stands still, soaring through the air.” Then was Brooke Chesmore, senior in English, who read a poem titled “Mean Woman.” “Look left, look right, hold thumb close,” Chesmore said. “Right, left, right, walking cadence. Bushes at the end of the street, stay close to the streetlight. Be mindful, look confident, don’t look feminine. Don’t look female, walking alone in the dark.” Leah Silver, senior in animal ecology, read a poem titled “X-Men Origins.” This poem included many

statements and numbers that flowed together to make a story. Next was Mara Olsen, sophomore in English, who read a poem titled “Chore.” “Let’s open the shade so light can show off her long legs, if you wash my back I’ll wash yours,” Olsen said. “Dump the basket on the mattress and I’ll jump in. Hair dripping, antique scented polka-dots.” The final reader, Emily Headley, senior in English, read a poem titled “Forever.” “S weet aroma fil ls the air, ” Headley said. “Chittering laughter runs from child to adult. Softly music embarks. Arm glides through arm, a kiss brushes the back of her hand.” Marquart thanked all the attendees for coming as well as all of her students for reading.

A former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence will deliver a lecture on “Seeking Security in an Unstable World” at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. The lecturer, Frank Figliuzzi, will talk about security in the current world where conflict often surrounds terrorists and other nonstate actors without having wellthought out rules of engagement, said Karen Kedrowski, director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics. “[T]hen you add to that an unconventional president who has very specific views on foreign policy and takes a different view towards our responsibilities to our allies through NATO or other agreements and has a more casual approach with actors, you know, state leaders and so forth,” Kedrowski said. “So that does lead to a certain amount of uncertainty.” Kedrowski said Figliuzzi is also expected to comment on the Ukrainian situation in current news but that it is not related to the impeachment inquiry. “I think [Figliuzzi will] talk about what normal foreign policy

looks like and how the exchange between President Trump and President Zelensky that’s at the center of all of this is not conventional foreign policymaking and whether or not that’s helpful, harmful, neither [...] those kinds of things,” Kedrowski said. This lecture is the annual Manatt-Phelps Lecture in Political Science, which began in 2002 with Charles T. Manatt delivering the first lecture. Manatt was a former U.S. ambassador to the Dominican Republic and a Democratic National Committee chairman. “It ’s a great opportunity to have high profile leaders come in and speak with our students because they can hear from people who have a breadth of expertise and experiences that they would not otherwise be exposed to,” Kedrowski said. Figliuzzi will also conduct a student question and answer session at 4 p.m. Tuesday in Catt 302 to discuss careers in the FBI. This session is open to anyone interested. “The FBI takes people from [a] wide range of backgrounds,” Kedrowski said. “They need people who can do research, they need forensic chemists, they need engineers who can help work crime scenes, they need criminal justice students, they need attorneys. [...] I think that there could be folks from any number of fields, [...] as well as broadly across the liberal arts, that might be interested in hearing about this and learning about what a career in the FBI is like.”

Penalty opposition increases Trump admin revives capital punishment amid pushback

BY JACOB.SMITH @iowastatedaily.com

BY MALLORY.TOPE @iowastatedaily.com Capital punishment has long been a highly debated topic in the United States, and opposition to it is increasing in recent years. A 2018 Pew survey found 39 percent of Americans are opposed to the death penalty for people convicted of murder, which is up from 18 percent in 1996. The federal death penalty is a legal punishment under United States code. It can be imposed for treason, large-scale drug trafficking and murder, among other offenses. Despite the number of offenses eligible, the federal government has not executed a death row inmate since 2003. There are currently 61 prisoners on the federal death row, compared to around 2,500 on death rows in states, according to the nonprofit Death Penalty Information Center. In recent months, President Donald Trump’s administration has moved to revive the federal death penalty. The Trump administration plans on executing five inmates in December and January, according to a release from the Department of Justice. Democratic frontrunner and former Vice President Joe Biden proposed terminating the federal

death penalty. Biden’s view on the federal death penalty has changed over the years. As a senator in 1994, Biden voted for a bill allowing 60 crimes to be eligible for the death penalty. Biden is not the only Democratic candidate that has openly opposed the federal death penalty. A majority of the Democratic presidential candidates have said they are opposed to capital punishment and would abolish the federal death penalty. Montana Gov. Steve Bullock is the only Democratic candidate that supports the federal death penalty; however, Bullock supports it in “limited circumstances.” “I wouldn’t take it off the table from the most extreme circumstances, like terrorism,” Bullock said in an interview with the New York Times.

The death penalty has been a political issue in the past, but in the 2020 election it may not be the biggest topic, said Dirk Deam, associate teaching professor of political science. Opposing the death penalty used to be an unpopular position in politics, having less than 20 percent support among Americans, according to the Pew survey, but in recent years the Democratic Party has come to a near-consensus of opposing it. In 2016, the party adopted a platform calling for the abolition of capital punishment. The party’s platform called capital punishment “a cruel and unusual form of punishment” that “has no place” in the nation. Hillary Clinton, the Democrats’ nominee in 2016, supported the death penalty in certain circumstances. The Democratic Party created

their 2016 platform due to the “abuse” of the death penalty and “inhumane” act of it. “Since 1973, over 160 individuals in this country have been sentenced to death and were later exonerated,” Biden said in a tweet responding to the Trump administration restarting federal executions. “Because we can’t ensure that we get these cases right every time, we must eliminate the death penalty.” Trump has advocated for the imposition of the death penalty in various cases over past decades. In 1990, during the Central Park Five case, Trump paid for a full page ad in the New York Times calling for the state to reinstate its death penalty. The five people in the case were convicted but later exonerated with the city and state of New York paying them millions of dollars in settlement for wrongful convictions.

The annual residency fair Tuesday will allow Iowa State students to ask landlords questions about rental options in Ames. Hosted by Student Government, the annual fair will be from 3 to 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union. It will provide students an opportunity to explore off-campus living opportunities, ask landlords questions and learn how to read leases. Student Government’s Director of Residency Marte Broadnax helped plan and arrange all of the groups coming. “There are about 30 properties from all over Ames who will be there for students to come and learn more about their housing options in Ames in one location,” Broadnax said. Along with land lords who maintain off-campus living locations, the Campus and Community Commission will be attending the fair. “The Campus and Community Commission provides a public forum to facilitate discussion of common interest to the City of Ames, Iowa State University and Iowa State University Student Government,” according to the city of Ames website. “The members offer recommendations to the Council regarding issues that have been brought forward as common interests. Upon City Council approval, this commission will investigate those issues.” Broadnax currently sits on the commission as the Iowa State Student Government appointee.

Candidates show diverse backgrounds 2020 campaign includes mix of politicians and non-politicians BY LAUREN.RATLIFF @iowastatedaily.com Donald Trump did not have a background in politics before winning the presidency. In the 2020 election, candidates have differing levels of experience within politics and government. Pete Buttigeig is in a unique situation compared to other candidates. His experience as the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is diff erent from Joe Biden’s position as a former two-term vice president, for example. Having smaller-scale political experience can also make Buttigeig stand out as a candidate, said Mack S helley, Iowa S tate professor and chair of the political science department. “It makes a difference in the level of government that you’re involved

in,” Shelley said. “He’s closer to the people; I think it makes it easier for him to have an outsider and insider approach.” A candidate with no experience in elected office seeking the presidency is Andrew Yang, a former tech executive running on a policy of a universal basic income he calls a “freedom dividend.” Yang’s universal basic income would provide all Americans over the age of majority with $1,000 monthly. “ I ’m literall y tr y ing to give everybody money,” Yang said in a tweet Friday. Not having a background in politics can help candidates appear fresh and new to the scene. As a candidate with experience, Biden has to face his past votes from when he was a senator. “[Biden] has to back away from votes he took as a senator,” Shelley said. “He voted in favor of crime-control legislation that now is regarded as racist by [some] Democrats.” A recent addition to the political scene is Elizabeth Warren. Warren began her c areer as a school teacher, then became a law

professor at Harvard University before fi nally entering the world of politics late in her career. Her late appearance into politics could play in her favor, Shelley said. “[ Warren] didn’t start out as a politician,” Shelley said. “She segued into politics much later in life and has much less of a track record because of that.” A large portion of Bernie Sanders’ and Warren’s supporters are younger voters, according to a YouGov poll of Democratic primary voters. However, with Biden’s past in politics, he is struggling to gain younger supporters compared to Sanders and Warren, Shelley said. “The reason Warren and Sanders appeal to young people is because they talk their language,” Shelley said. “Biden is just not able to do that. You become beholden to the people that got you there, and young generations just didn’t get him there.” Tom Steyer, another presidential candidate without elected experience, focuses his campaign in part on addressing environmental issues, the most important issue for

younger voters. Steyer has been involved in politics for decades, although never in a way this notable. Steyer was an avid fundraiser for Barack Obama’s campaign. Leah Haberman, Steyer’s Iowa communications director, said Steyer provides the outsider perspective necessar y for today ’s government. “ Having someone from the

outside saying our government is broken is extremely powerful,” Haberman said. Haberman said Steyer has accomplished many things beyond and within politics. He started a business that tur ned into a multi-national business, and his work with Need to Impeach is notable. “People trust that he’s able to get something done,” Haberman said.

CAITLIN YAMADA/ IOWA STATE DAILY Buttigieg answered questions surrounding wars, the possible make up of his presidential cabinet and more Oct. 16 in Ames. COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA COMMONS Columnist Grayson Goss argues transcranial magnetic stimulation and deep brain stimulation are the future of neurological therapies, and can do more than pharmaceutical therapy is able.

The future of neuroscience BY GRAYSON.GOSS @iowastatedaily.com

If you or someone you know has struggled with a neurological disease, then you may also know someone who has been unresponsive to the traditional treatments of that neurological illness. Pharmaceutical therapy, along with physical and psychological therapy, can only go so far, as there is a portion of the population that cannot respond to traditional therapies for that illness. Some may not respond to pharmaceutical treatment that they are given, or if they do respond, it is at a minimum degree. While this is a seemingly harrowing fact to behold, there are new therapies in development right now that show great promise in treating these mental illnesses that afflict patients who cannot respond to traditional therapies. One such therapy is called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). It consists of one to two magnetic coils that are placed near the head in such a way that they stimulate specific neural clusters of the brain. It has been shown to be an effective therapy

for treatment resistant depression, Parkinson’s disease, as well as anxiety and epilepsy. This therapy does not rely on pharmaceuticals or any external physical or psychological therapy. There are some drawbacks to this type of therapy, however, as it can only activate the surface levels of the brain, which means only certain diseases can be treated. New developments in TMS like the ones happening at Iowa State’s Magnetics Research Group are working on more focal coils that can penetrate deeper into the brain, while activating less surrounding tissues, allowing for better brain stimulation with a noninvasive approach. Another noninvasive approach that is gaining some traction in neuroscience circles is called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). This method of stimulation involves placing 2 electrodes on various areas of the brain to excite specific pathways. This is an electrical analogue to TMS, where TMS delivers stimulation magnetically, tDCS delivers stimulations electrically. This stimulation method has been shown to be useful in

treating several mental illnesses like depression and anxiety. However, tDCS shares the same drawback as TMS in that both therapies can only treat specific diseases since only the surface portions of the brain can be excited. While there are research developments right now that are working to perfect these non-invasive techniques, there exists another therapy that can stimulate deeper structures of the brain that has been around since the late nineties. This is aptly called deep brain stimulation (DBS). It involves brain surgery to implant a pair of electrodes deep inside the brain that can stimulate areas that are unreachable by traditional TMS or tDCS methods. This stimulation method has been shown to be useful in treating Parkinson’s symptoms as well as treatment resistant depression and anxiety. With these new developments, the medical community can now treat patients that once thought were untreatable. They can now alleviate symptoms and increase the quality of life for patients in a way once thought improbable with normal therapies.

Pr e s i d e n t i a l c a n d i d a t e Pe t e Buttigieg has recently received acclaim and criticism for the latest characterization of his campaign. There have been many of those in the media who have characterized his move on healthcare to being for a public option rather than in support for medicare for all that Warren and Sanders have been all in for. There has been a lot of pushback from supporters from those campaigns over this issue and others. But let’s be clear, even though Pete is not in favor of policies that are as left as positions taken by Senator Sanders (VT) and Senator Warren (MA), it is hard for me to stomach that Pete is a moderate. He has simply taken positions that are more moderate than Sanders and Warren. Being in favor of a public option is not a moderate stance. It is most certainly a center left view but this is not moderate when considering where the median voter in the party is. If we look at one of the more contentious issues that the party has been litigating in this primary process, healthcare, we can see this most clearly. While “Medicare for All” as a policy is moderately popular with democrats, the policy, en masse, is not as popular. Even amongst democrats, establishing a stronger public option has polled slightly better with democrats and far better with independents and republicans.

Vote Rachel Junck for City Council BY MARY.RICHARDS maryrich@isunet.net On Dec. 3, the residents of Ames Ward 4 will be choosing their City Council person to serve for the next four years. Their choice will be between challenger Rachel Junck, who won the most votes in the initial election on Nov. 5, and incumbent Chris Nelson. There are many contrasts between these two, but I want to highlight the issue I find most compelling now and for the future of our community and our world: the approach our city should take in addressing climate change.

But this, however, doesn’t make mayor Pete a moderate. This is the same guy who is advocating for the elimination of the electoral college, restructuring the supreme court, and is in favor of both voluntary buybacks for assault rifles and the establishment of a gun license. These views are all held by those who are as far left as it gets in this race. While we have yet to see what pitting a candidate like Warren or Bernie against a republican in a general is like yet, it is safe to say that the tag of being a “socialist” whether it is true or not, could potentially have significant harm to the general election candidate. This makes the decision to nominate a candidate who has a higher chance of being perceived that way difficult. This is why I think the Buttigieg campaign is leaning into this persona that the media has given him despite his policy. Sure for those wanting radical change, Pete attempting to appeal to more middle left policies may seem less appealing. But the idea that he is a moderate and will, therefore, not enact change if given the chance is a false pretense to perceive his campaign from. He is out for the liberal values that Democrats are vying for, but just from a path of gradual change rather than abrupt change. Whether this is a good plan from a governing standpoint is yet to be seen; but as for electorally, I think it is good for his presidential bid.

Should Ames be reactive, responding to climate change effects as they happen; or proactive, immediately declaring a climate emergency and placing this issue as a primary consideration in all city policy decisions? Chris Nelson represents the reactive position: he’s stated he’s “not there yet” in declaring that a climate emergency exists. Rachel Junck, on the other hand, has made attention to the climate crisis a central issue in her campaign. I urge Ward 4 voters to put her proactive presence to work for them and all of us on the Ames City Council.

Hooking ‘Horns proves growth Cyclone win demonstrates progress with Campbell BY NOAH.ROHLFING @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State can’t help but play every big game down to the wire. It seems like it’s in the Cyclones’ DNA to make things as tight as possible. Now, as an unbiased reporter, I love it — it makes covering the games fun when you have no real idea what’s going to happen. Although, it does make it difficult to know when you can start writing. I understand how Iowa State fans can see it differently, but rest assured; it’s a big positive for the Cyclones to be involved in so many close games. Among other things, it’s a big sign that the Cyclones aren’t so far off of the Big 12’s elite anymore. You can see it in Saturday ’s walk-off win over Texas — Matt Campbell’s first win over one of the Big 12’s standard-bearers, not just because it was a win over Texas, but because of the manner in which Iowa State came away with the win — one week after fighting back from 21 points down to nearly defeat the ruler of the Big 12, Oklahoma, on the road.

GARRETT HEYD/ IOWA STATE DAILY The Iowa State football team takes the field against University of Texas on Nov. 16. Iowa State won 23-21.

Iowa State has played six games decided by seven points or less this year alone — going 2-4 in those contests and coming so, so close to having a much better record than its current 6-4 mark. “They’ve continued to fight when I think everybody’s written us off at times,” Campbell said after the game. “Our kids just keep playing.” U n t i l S a t u rd ay ’s g a m e, t h e Cyclones had lost to each ranked team they had come up against, but in each game, they had the ball and a chance to tie or win with less

than a minute to play. Talk about play ing with no margin for error. Unfortunately, at programs like Iowa State that’s how it’s always going to be. The Cyclones will never be able to recruit the consistent blue-chip players Oklahoma and Texas bring in — it’s just a fact of circumstance. The Cyclones have never had and won’t have the history, location and NFL readiness aspect many fivestar recruits are looking for. That’s not going to change. But it doesn’t mean the Cyclones have to sit and

search through the metaphorical scrap heap for players — otherwise, they wouldn’t have players like Brock Purdy, Charlie Kolar and Breece Hall. Purdy was recruited by Alabama for much of the process, and Hall was widely regarded as a four-star prospect. This season they’ve grown into Iowa State’s most consistently productive backfield in ages. Purdy is second in school history in single-season passing yards with two games to play, and Hall has run for 100-plus yards now in four of the

last five games. Finding game-breakers isn’t easy for Iowa State, which means recruiting wins such as Hall, Purdy and even redshirt freshman Jirehl Brock are so important to building a roster that can go toe-to-toe with the conference’s best. Campbell has done a great job of building a competitive roster — one that was able to beat a Texas team many thought would have a chance of ending the year as a top-10 team. Texas has been disappointing, but that’s not close to the point — this win wouldn’t have been shocking if Texas were 8-1. Iowa State played alright, but it was far from their best performance of the year. The second half of the Oklahoma game and the dominant TCU performance struck me as better than Saturday’s game. The Cyclones out-gained Texas 466-327, but the Cyclones gave up 136 yards and 14 points in the fourth quarter, blowing a 13-point lead in the process. That itself is huge. The ability to beat a ranked team while not having a perfect game on either side of the ball was not there for Iowa State under previous coaches. Now, Campbell won’t stay at Iowa State forever (at least, not in my opinion). But he’s laying a foundation the Cyclones can attempt to maintain if he ever leaves — and despite four losses this season, it’s clear this team is maintaining its upward trajectory. In fact, they’re probably closer to the top than ever before.

Win over Bucknell shows ups and downs BY STEPHEN.MCDANIEL @iowastatedaily.com Sunday marked the first dual of the season for Iowa State as they hosted the Bucknell Bison. The Cyclones prevailed over the Bison 24-15.

CARR’S STELLAR DEBUT David Carr was one of the hottest topics heading into the 2019-20 wrestling season, and for good reason, too. Carr won the 2019 Junior World Championship at 74 kg and is the son of Iowa State wrestling legend Nate Carr. Carr would have made his highly anticipated debut during the Harold Nichols Cyclone Open, but Coach Kevin Dresser and company decided it was best to rest Carr for the Bucknell dual due to a minor nagging injury. One week after the Cyclone Open, Carr made his highly anticipated debut for the Cyclones at 157 pounds, and he did not disappoint the team or the fans in the slightest. “Just being able to have a chance to wrestle in Hilton, a lot of great wrestlers have wrestled in Hilton and strapped up the Iowa State singlet, so it was an honor just to go out there and wrestle,” Carr said. At 157, Carr matched up with Bucknell’s Jaden Fisher, and from the get-go, the match was all Carr. By the end of the first period, Carr led over Fisher 8-0 after recording two near falls. In

the following periods, Carr tacked on four takedowns and almost five minutes of riding time, posting a 18-3 tech fall over Fisher.

STRAW PICKS UP AN EARLY LOSS The matchup at 165 between Iowa State’s Chase Straw and Bucknell’s Zach Hartman was one fans had to look out for. Straw was coming off a successful Cyclone Open after winning the open 165 title, but he got another nice early season test in Hartman, who was one of two returning NCAA qualifiers for the Bison. The matchup paired two guys that made the switch to 165 after previously having a successful season wrestling at 157. The match looked to be going in Straw’s favor in the beginning when he picked up an early 3-0 lead over Hartman. However, Hartman closed the gap after getting an escape and a technical violation call against Straw for locking hands, cutting the lead 3-2. With nine seconds left, Hartman got a late takedown on Straw, giving him a 4-3 lead to close out the matchup. The win over Straw marked Hartman’s first career win over a ranked opponent at 165. “Chase Straw obviously let that one get away,” Dresser said. “That’s on Chase not understanding you got to have that sense of urgency at the end, and maybe he got a little bit tired.” GREMMEL TESTS THE RULES On paper, Gannon Gremmel looked to have an easier matchup to start the dual

season after Bucknell’s usual heavyweight Garrett Hoffman didn’t make the trip to Ames. So it would be a shock to Iowa State fans to hear that No. 16 Gremmel lost the match in the first period. Gremmel didn’t lose to allowing points; he was disqualified after receiving two unsportsmanlike conduct calls. The first unsportsmanlike conduct call came after frustration set in from Gremmel following an incorrect stall call signal. The second unsportsmanlike conduct call came

when Gremmel wrestled Bucknell’s Nathan Feyrer to the hardwood floor. The second call did not sit well with Iowa State, its main argument being the referee failed to blow his whistle to stop the match. The disqualification for Gremmel has no impact on his availability for the Nov. 24 dual against Iowa. “I’m going to hold my tongue right now because I have to think about it,” Dresser said. “I think it was a situation that we have to learn from.”

From plate waste to plant food ISU Dining goes green with leftovers BY WHITNEY.SPENCER @iowastatedaily.com ISU Dining is hard at work in reducing waste in their facilities. ISU Dining centers feed thousands of students and faculty each day, leaving many to question truly how sustainable they strive to be. The centers practice a variety of methods to achieve a more sustainable outcome. Hunter Penton, junior studying accounting, is currently employed at Union Drive Marketplace. He stated that the dining halls work hard to be sustainable, offering several recycling bins and compost bins for excess scraps. “Excess food, waste, trash, recyclables, all have their own respective dumpster or bin or something outside, behind the dining hall,” Penton said. “I am not sure as to how much food gets tossed, but I know a ton of food gets composted; at least two to three large garbage

cans get filled with food or napkins that are sent to the compost bin while I work in the dish room, and it’s a four hour shift. So that leaves around 8-10 hours of food I don’t know about.” The dining centers also wash and reuse all plates, cups and utensils. Karen Rodekamp, assistant director of engagement, discussed a few ways that the dining centers deal with food waste. “In the dining centers, depending on the part of preparation, we can serve the product the next day,” Rodekamp said. “We batch cook. That is a form of food waste reduction. In our retail locations, volunteers from the Food Recovery Network, a student run organization on campus, pick up food product that we can’t sell past sell date and deliver it to Food at First.” Batch cooking is the process of preparing or cooking large portions of food that can be used for multiple meals throughout the week. Food at First is a local, non-profit food bank here in Ames. The organization is dedicated to feeding those in need. The dining centers also practice trayless dining. This deters students from taking a lot of food at once, which ultimately reduces waste. “Pre and post consumer food

waste is collected and composted. We only make what we need, and we save food scraps,” Rodekamp said about food waste. The dining centers frequently contribute to the compost facility outside of campus. The facility was originally built in 2008 as part of the new ISU Dairy Farm, but has greatly expanded over the years, accepting waste from many other departments on campus. It is part of the green initiative to reduce waste going to the landfill. Steve Jonas, manager of the compost facility, has been running the

facility since 2009. He stated that it receives all its waste from the Iowa State campus, with dining waste being only one contributor. “ U s u a l l y i t ’ s a M o n d a y, Wednesday, Friday, thing, but we receive two to three tons every visit,” Jonas said about the dining contribution. “Usually 9-15 tons every week depending on how often they bring it out.” The process of composting takes four to six months from start to finish. It then goes through a screening process where Jonas removes any unwanted trash, such

as plates, forks, rocks, etc. It is then mixed with topsoil and sold back to campus for a variety of uses. “There are some organic researchers over at the agronomy farm that uses some of it for fertilizer, but most of it goes out as amended soil,” Jonas said. “[…] so new construction and landscaping.” ISU Dining’s next project is looking at transferring to compostable products such as containers and straws, according to Rodekamp. These products are manufactured in a greener method than other plastic products.

Coats make staying warm ‘snow’ problem BY EMERSON.LATHAM @iowastatedaily.com Winter in Iowa can be harsh, so finding the perfect coat is a necessity. Whether one is looking for something trendy or something to just get the job done, these students share how to stay warm this season while avoiding looking like Randy from “A Christmas Story.”

THE MIDWEST NATIVE Addison Angel, freshman in pre-business, is from Chicago, Illinois, so he said he knew what Iowa winter would be like. Angel is wearing a Tommy Hilfiger coat for Iowa State’s winter. “I got [my coat] from Macy’s because there was a $200 sale,” Angel said. “Works like a charm. I don’t feel cold because of this thing.” Besides the deal Angel got on the coat, he said it also caught his eye because of the stylish fur on the hood. Stylish and functional are two aspects people may take into consideration and can make or break a winter coat.

THE COLD WEATHER FOREIGNER There are plenty of students attending Iowa State who haven’t experienced snowfall before, let alone Iowa’s extreme cold winter weather. This is the case for Karli Fritz, freshman in genetics. Fritz is from Winter Park, Florida. While the name of her hometown sounds more like a colder season, its current temperatures say otherwise. “[The weather in Winter Park right now is] 80 degrees and sunny,” Fritz said. “Shorts and t-shirt weather.” The town near Orlando gets around 35 degrees on the coldest days so Fritz said she was in for a treat when the first snowfall occurred on campus and temperatures began to drop below freezing. “It’s cold but when I dress correctly, it’s

completely comfortable,” Fritz said. Fritz said she advises others to choose a coat that is thick and long to keep warm throughout winter. Fritz said she searched for quality at a good price. When choosing a coat, Fritz said she was debating between The North Face, Eddie Bauer and Patagonia. She finally settled on a winter coat from Eddie Bauer because it was on sale. The brands Fritz was deciding between are all known for providing quality outdoor gear that’s expensive, but worth it. Most products sold by these brands are built to last, making a one-time purchase an investment. “It’s been really nice,” Fritz said. “I wear ski layers underneath but the jacket, with it being longer, really helps.”

THE CHIC SOUL As students walk around campus, they may notice the common trend of long black parkas. While this item of dress is a classic, it can also be fun to spice things up and stick out in the crowd with a nice dress coat. Meredith Wood, freshman in event management, said she got her stylish dress coat from a boutique. Wood said she had decided to purchase her coat because of the cute pattern and to have as an addition to nicer outfits. Wood said her coat keeps her very warm, sometimes even hot, due to the fabric of the coat. “I usually wear it with dressier outfits that if you wore a bigger coat with or a puffy coat, it would kind of ruin the outfit,” Wood said. “I always wear it with plain things since it has a pattern on it.” While the winter season can seem to last forever, finding the perfect winter coat helps. If it’s a stylish dress coat you’re looking for or a toasty warm parka, you’ll be ready to take on winter, however long Mother Nature decides it’ll be this year.

led his team to a last-minute victory against No. 22 Texas. Purdy played a key role in a comeback victory Saturday for an Iowa State team that recently started to find its identity. Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban made a push at Brock Purdy, but ultimately the four-star quarterback chose Ames as his new home two years ago, leaving Alabama without a tested insurance option behind Tagovailoa. Iowa State is reaping the rewards of Purdy’s decision, and on Saturday it paid off in a big way. “[Doesn’t] that, like, exemplify Brock Purdy?” said Iowa State Coach Matt Campbell about the touchdown that Iowa State scored to start the second half. “I’d love to tell you we dialed it up that way and that’s how it was gonna be. It’s total Brock Purdy.” Campbell helped turn Iowa State’s program around, but without Purdy under center, the Cyclones may never have gotten this far. At 6-4 in Purdy’s first full year as a starter, the Cyclones are bowl eligible for the third year in a row and looking to secure eight wins for a third straight season as well. The record might not fully support how good the Cyclones have been

TEXTBOOK

this season — with all their losses coming by single digits and three of those by two points or less — but competitive years for the Cyclones have been few and far between in the 2010s. At the center of all the success stands Purdy. The Gilbert, Arizona, native has been a vocal leader off the field, but on the field, he has been asked to carry the weight left behind from two program-altering players who departed for the NFL just one season ago — David Montgomery and Hakeem Butler. Purdy has faired well with this task, putting up some of the best numbers in Iowa State’s program history. Purdy is already fourth in Iowa State history in passing yards and fifth in touchdowns. His 2019 season has already set the Cyclone mark for most passing touchdowns in a season, and against Kansas, he will need only 43 yards to break Seneca Wallace’s single-season record of 3,245 passing yards. Purdy is breaking records for a program that has had only a few good quarterbacks in its history. However, with that there still exists the need to win, and this season the Cyclones are cutting it close. Against Oklahoma, Purdy turned

in possibly his most spectacular performance when he exploded for five touchdowns through the air and one more on the ground. With a 42-21 lead going into the fourth quarter, Oklahoma had a commanding hold on the game. Purdy willed Iowa State back into the game with a little help from his defense and set up the Cyclones with a chance at a two-point conversion to win the game against a perennial powerhouse on the road, but they fell short in the end. For Cyclone fans, the game — which resulted in a loss — was a disappointment, but for those around the league, it was a stunning spectacle. “Offensively in the fourth quarter, we started clicking really well,” Purdy said. “If we could just take that and keep it rolling the rest of the season, honestly, that would be really key. That fourth quarter was huge for us moving forward.” This was Iowa State’s third straight competitive game against Oklahoma — a team with the last two Heisman Award winners — and its third different starting quarterback in that brief period. When Purdy took over the starting job in 2018, the Cyclones were playing a solid Oklahoma State team. Zeb Noland started the game, but after

one drive, Purdy took over and broke out in front of the Oklahoma State crowd in Stillwater, Oklahoma, as he threw for 318 yards and four touchdowns on 18-23 passing. Purdy racks up statistics, but when asked, he keeps his focus on the team aspect of each game and not any individual accolades. Teammates recognize this about Purdy and will talk about their trust in him as the team’s most important player. “The kid, the way he works and the way he leads this offense is something I’m at a loss for. It’s amazing,” said an emotional Charlie Kolar after the loss against Oklahoma. “The character that kid has, it’s honestly like nothing I’ve ever seen before in my life, and I’ve played with some fantastic athletes […] I would go to war with that kid any day of the week.” Throughout the season, Purdy has affected the Cyclones’ success in a major way, and it started in the first game against Northern Iowa. After going to overtime with the Panthers, Iowa State relied heavily on Purdy and running back Sheldon Croney. The latter almost ended up costing them the game when he fumbled in overtime near the goal line. Purdy saw what happened and dove on the ball before anyone else

like that. I mean, sometimes, there’s some very minor damage that I could say, ‘Yeah, that might have slipped through,’ but I know we check them two to three times before we shelve them.” With the current school semester ending soon,

could get there, allowing Croney to punch it in on the next play. It was the first game of the season, and already the Cyclones were benefiting from their starting quarterback. The accolades and big plays haven’t stopped, and that was finally reflected on Saturday. No longer were the Cyclones just that close. “It was awesome man, [Campbell] really rallied us before the game and halftime,” Purdy said. “To hug him at the end of it, knowing that we finished the game the right way. He just told me he loved me and I told him I loved him.” The win against Texas is a full swing in the other direction. Iowa State had not beaten the Longhorns in Matt Campbell’s tenure, and now that the Cyclones have, Campbell and Purdy have fully thrust the team into perennial contention. Purdy will be back. Campbell has given every indication he’ll be back, and they’ll be leading a team full of youth and ability. Campbell said that when coaching young players in college, you’re asking 18-22-year-olds to be present in the moment. Whether it’s diving on a fumble, staging a late comeback or leading a game-winning drive, Purdy has been present for those moments.

the next semester is right around the corner. The Bookstore has textbooks available for Iowa State students to rent or buy textbooks for the spring 2021 semester. Students can rent books in the Bookstore or through its website.
