is and make campus a better place for everyone. For me, I plan to do this as editor in chief of the Iowa State Daily. This year, you’ll see a lot of big things happening at the Daily. We are working on rebranding our print edition, launching a depth reporting team to take a closer look at some issues facing Iowa State, putting a renewed focus on engaging the community and expanding the digital tools you can consume our content on. All of these efforts are to help provide you with better content to educate you, expose you to new perspectives and give you a voice. We hope that the Daily is an important part of your time at Iowa State — and if it isn’t, tell us what we can do better. You are always welcome to email me personally (emily.barske@ iowastatedaily.com) or stop by 2420 Lincoln Way, Suite 205, and I’ll show you around. As you work to leave a legacy at Iowa State, make the Daily a part of it. The power of being informed should not be underestimated. Now go out and make a difference with the time you have left at Iowa State. Sincerely, Emily Barske Editor in Chief
CHRIS JORGENSEN/IOWA STATE DAILY
Welcome back to the land of the Campanile, late nights — some productive and some not — Clone Cones and endless opportunities to “choose your adventure.” For many of you, like it is for me, this year is different. This time around is my last year to soak up everything that comes with being an undergraduate student. And perhaps more importantly, it’s my last year to leave a legacy at Iowa State. Whether this is your last year or not, you have an opportunity to leave behind something that makes life better for those in the Iowa State community and all future Cyclones, while also taking the first steps to being able to have this kind of impact on the state, nation and world. It’s so easy to get caught up in our own endeavors — whether it’s studying for a test, forming or maintaining quality relationships, reaching a new fitness goal or just doing a hobby we enjoy — and all of those things are great for personal development. But my challenge for you, as I will challenge myself, is think beyond yourself and work to benefit the community at large. The legacy you leave will look entirely different from your classmates, friends or strangers on campus, but find whatever it
Emily Barske, senior in journalism and mass communications, was the editor in chief of the Iowa State Daily for 2016-17 and was reappointed to editor in chief for 2017-18.
It’s about that time. Time to kick off another year in Ames. My name is Cody West and I am the Student Body President at Iowa State University. It is an exciting time at Iowa State. Student activities and organizations are lively, while the classroom experience and research being done here are changing the world. Walking across the stage at graduation may seem like forever away, but it will be here before you know it. During your time here, I hope you realize that Student Government is a resource for you. It is our duty to advocate for and empower students to make our university a better place for all. We need students just like you to get involved in the process and make your voice heard. It is your responsibility to play an active role in bettering the community around you. I challenge you to get to know your representatives and communicate with them regularly. Become a part of campuswide conversations. Check out stugov.iastate.edu to stay up to date on what we are doing and swing by our offices in the Memorial Union when you can. If I can give you any advice, it would be
to put yourself out there. Pour your heart and soul into your time at Iowa State, and I promise you will not be disappointed. Try it all, at least once. Whether that be experiencing Hilton Magic, a day at Jack Trice, listening to a world-renowned lecturer or eating pancakes on Central Campus just before mass campaniling, don’t walk away from this place knowing you missed an opportunity. For all the late nights, midterm cramming sessions and stressful group projects, I can assure you it will be worth it. Change your major, try something new, but more importantly find yourself and become comfortable with who you truly are. Surround yourself with those who support and encourage you, and make memories that will last far beyond your time here. Let’s make it a great year, Cyclones. Welcome back. Best wishes, Cody West Student Body President

Gov. Terry Branstad used his veto power to cancel the closure of the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, but redirected the funding to the Iowa Nutrient Resource Center. The Center is in its 30th year and previously distributed grants to all fields of agricultural research. “What the Leopold Center was for 30 years is done,” center director Mark Rasmussen said. “The 10 percent of our budget we have left won’t cover much ... The foundation earnings are a little over $200,000 a year.”

Ames Council keeps ban on fireworks in city The Ames City Council kept ordinances prohibiting using fireworks in Ames, although the Iowa Legislature made it legal in the state to sell fireworks. The Council decided to wait until fireworks had been legal a year in Iowa to consider making them legal within city limits.
“Selling, purchasing and possessing fireworks will be legal in the city … just not setting them off,” council member Bronwyn Beatty-Hansen said.
Black Cultural Center renamed for former administrator Jackson Dr. George A. Jackson came to Iowa State University in 1978. He renamed the existing Minority Student Office to the Office of Minority Student Affairs, and from there created a legacy. He developed programs to help minority students acclimate to the predominantly white university and created the Multicultural Liaison Officer program, where each college has someone devoted to retention and acclimation of minority students. Administrators and students of the past and present had a reunion in the Black Cultural Center to rename it in honor of Jackson.

“I want to spend time with students and find out how they feel about the campus,” he said. “I want all students from all backgrounds to feel that sense of belonging.” The associate vice president position did not exist before Hurte, and was part of the restructuring done by Martino Harmon. The new structure of Student Affairs is a five-person administration, featuring two associate vice presidents and two assistant vice presidents under Harmon. Previously the dean of students position was held by Pamela Anthony, who died in January 2016.

By Maggie.Curry@ iowastatedaily.com After Iowa State President Steven Leath announced in March that he was moving to Auburn to become its new president, a search committee was formed to find Iowa State’s next president. The committee is co-chaired by Luis Rico-Gutierrez, dean of the College of Design, and includes eight faculty members, two students, one staff member and representatives from the alumni association, ISU Foundation and Ames community. Student Government President Cody West and Graduate and Professional Student Senate President Vivek Lawana are the two students on the committee. Aided by search firm AGB Search, eight to 10 semifinalists will be chosen for interviews, and between three and five candidates then come for campus visits. An advertisement was built out of community input gathered in June, and was distributed over the summer. It addressed:

For many staff, faculty and community members at the forums, working with both the public and private sector was important. Applicant attributes included “fiscal management of organizations of equal complexity, including strategic diversification of revenue sources, and creative resource generation and allocation... Firsthand understanding of the fundraising process and successful record of leadership and partnership in capital campaign efforts.”
Growth of enrollment and resulting consequences
The question of the optimal size of the university also came up at June forums, with concern for upkeep, equipment, infrastructure and renovation after rapid enrollment growth. “It really is about having enough resources. Space is the number one resource we’re lacking,” Colletti said. “To use an [agriculture] term, the bin is busted.” Colletti said another concern was people resources, particularly in

teaching faculty, and infrastructure and equipment quality and upkeep. “At the whole university level there’s a backlog on major renovation and upgrade and some very, very old buildings,” Colletti said. Nothing directly addressed university enrollment, growth and service needs in the advertisement.
All the different groups on campus
The president has to balance many needs, from diversity and marginalization to balancing a student-first mission to faculty development, to relationships with industry and legislative leaders and alumni. The ad list of attributes includes a “demonstrable record of success leading and implementing diversity and inclusion initiatives,” followed further
“I think that students want a face that they’ll recognize,” Student Government Vice President Cody Smith said. “Students want a person to emulate what Iowa State is and how welcoming we are to people of all backgrounds.”

down by “direct experience in collaborations with diverse constituencies, including the state legislature, businesses, foundations, agriculture leaders, and residents from all parts of the state” and “capacity to nurture an active, contributing alumni base.” Faculty also makes the list, from “inspiring team player” to “understanding of the tenure process and the role of academic freedom” and “profound appreciation for the contributions of staff and administrators ... and explicit commitment to support their professional development.”

Students at input sessions in June emphasized the need for a president who does not give “cookie cutter responses” to issues that arise on campus. They stressed the importance of not only admitting mistakes, but also providing a plan for how to remedy them, or just plain honesty if something cannot be fixed at all. “I think that students want a face that they’ll recognize,” Student Government Vice President Cody Smith said. “Students want a person to emulate what Iowa State is and how welcoming we are to people of all backgrounds.” The list of attributes in the ad included “capacity to engender trust with excellent communication skills and a transparent, open-door, open-mind leadership style.”

Colletti said Iowa State, being student centered, is a university that really values teaching, along with collaboration in research and sharing the learning from the research, whether that be a state associate, a high school or a farm. The first line of the expectations for the next president is that “the new president must maintain the highest standards in all aspects of the land-grant mission and celebrate Iowa State’s disciplinary breadth.” That’s broken down into support for research, “balanced with a commitment to a unique, rich student experience characterized by unlimited social and academic opportunities in a friendly and supportive campus environment.”

Once you get settled into your new Cyclone Home and you’ve already spent your first year looking at all the cool spots on campus, you might be wondering what else is out there. Luckily, Ames is filled with photogenic places all over town. Some are right next to campus and some are a little ways out. Check out these cool spots around town when you get some time. There are places that suit everyone’s interests.

Ada Hayden Heritage Park: Located on the north end of Ames, Ada Hayden boasts trails, grills and a beautiful pond for fishing. There are four miles of trails, both paved and gravel. Boats are also allowed on the pond as long as they are not gasoline powered. Fishing is allowed pursuant to the State of Iowa Fishing Regulations. The park is open from 6:30 a.m. until 10:30 p.m.
Reiman Gardens: Located on the southeast edge of campus, Reiman Gardens makes for a fun time while still being close to campus. “Reiman Gardens is a living garden … always changing, adapting, evolving with the seasons and with its annual theme,” according to the Reiman Garden’s website. The Reiman Gardens have trails for walking, tons of beautiful foliage, art pieces and even a sculpture modeled after the Campanile.
Ledges State Park: Quite possibly the most well-known park in the area. Founded in 1924, Ledges has a history of providing outdoor recreation for generations. According to the Department of Natural Resources, archaeological evidence dating back 4,000 years ago has been found at the park. There are hiking and biking trails, the Des Moines river for boating or fishing, shelters for eating and, of course, campsites for camping.

Ames Parks: The Ames Park system has 37 different parks throughout the city. Each park is unique and fun to visit. These parks may have trails, shelters, playgrounds, grills and more.
Squaw Creek: This creek flows into Ames from the northwest and flows southeast to feed into the South Skunk River. There are plenty of cool photo opportunities all along the creek. Take a look at it while visiting some of the Ames Parks.
Georgie Tsushima Memorial Skate Park: Shred the gnarr and catch some views. The skatepark is located near Jack Trice Stadium on fourth street, across from Brookside Park. With various ramps, rails and stairs, the skatepark is sure to add a cool aesthetic to your photos.

Main Street Ames: Just off of Lincoln Way, the Main Street Cultural District is packed with history, cool shops and fun. Still very accessible without a car, you can go take some cool pictures, grab a bite to eat from a local restaurant and then buy some cool souvenirs all without leaving Main Street.
Peterson Park: An old mining area north of Ames is now host to three gravel pits which are great for fishing and swimming. The trails offer scenic photo opportunities, while the swimming beach is a great place for a picnic or a sunset campfire.
Munn Woods: A 40-acre forest with hiking trails throughout. With tons of trees, these woods are a beautiful sight to see in the fall. Just don’t get lost! Located due west of campus.

Make new friends
Tired of hanging with the same people all the time? Tired of your routine of Netflix, hitting up a dining hall, and then more Netflix? Make some new friends – ones outside of your major or who do different things than you. Trying new things can break the monotony of college life. Who knows, they could turn out to be your new bestie.
Take a fun class
By Ian.Steenhoek@ iowastatedaily.com When your freshman year is over and you have returned to campus after your first summer break, you might fall into what’s called the “sophomore slump.” It is a period of time when there is an overall lack of motivation for returning students to do anything, whether it be attend classes, do homework, participate in student organizations, or even study. Some may underperform when compared to the previous year. Some say it is because after your return, the campus is no longer new. It may have lost some of its mystery and grandeur it had the previous year. All the while, freshmen and seniors are getting nearly all of the attention. It is easy to simply feel like a number. Many people may not realize they are in a “sophomore slump.” Some may not even know it even exists at all. Fortunately, all it takes to beat the sophomore slump is a little proactivity. Here are some methods that can increase productivity and help you stay motivated.
Get involved
This is something you’ve probably heard since middle school. That’s because getting involved is one of the best ways to meet people similar to you. These people can become friends and you’ll be able to hang out with
30
them. Getting involved can also help you learn tons of new things, or simply eat up some free time you may have. There are more than 850 clubs at Iowa State, ranging from academic and religious organizations to just for fun.
Do something
This is very similar to getting involved. This could be doing an internship or a study abroad, or it could getting a job or going to church. This could be learning an instrument or going on a hike. Something you can feel satisfied with completing. Minimizing stress is a key to beating the slump, and being happy is a great way to do so.
Talk with your adviser
Sometimes it’s easy to feel that your classes are pointless and you’re not learning anything relevant to your major. This is when your adviser comes in. He or she are a valuable resource and can help you to understand why certain courses are important to your education. It can also motivate you to focus on doing well in classes. Having a
IOWA STATE DAILY WELCOME BACK | SUMMER 2017
While studying things relevant to your major is important if you want to get out in four years, sometimes it’s fun to take a random class. It could be a ballet class, or an astronomy class, or agronomy or psychology. It’s something you can look forward to and can help introduce you to new people. It also helps break the monotony of classes if they’re all related to your major.
Be proactive
Hopefully your freshman year taught you how to organize and manage your time. If it hasn’t, it isn’t too late to start. Grab a planner if you haven’t yet, and plan time for classes, socializing, a job and, of course, schoolwork. The hardest part of beating the sophomore slump is staying motivated. Sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone to stay caught up will be necessary. However, it will help instill a good work ethic for the future, which is important for a career in the future. Now that you have some ideas on how to stay ahead, have fun your sophomore year.

By Iowa State Daily Staff Do you want to become an official Iowa Stater? Here’s how.
Campaniling
Before homecoming rolls around, make sure you have a special someone to smooch under the campanile. It is said that you become a true Iowa State student if you kiss someone at midnight. On homecoming you can see hundreds of couples gathered to take part in this special tradition while fireworks go off and the band plays.
Three times around the Lake
There is a longstanding tradition at Iowa State that if you walk around Lake Laverne three times without saying anything with your significant other, you are meant to be together. While you are on this traditional walk, be sure to look out for Lancelot and Elaine, the beautiful swans that reside on Lake Laverne.
Avoid the Zodiac
Although this is something you should not do, it is an Iowa State tradition. Stepping on the Zodiac inside the front door of the Memorial Union is said to result in failing the next test you take. Make it your goal at Iowa State to never step on the infamous Zodiac.
Attend a sporting event
Iowa State is popular for its school spirit. People even think it’s magical. When it comes to football and basketball, Ames is covered
32
with cardinal and gold. Basketball fans call the wonderful spirit in Hilton Coliseum Hilton Magic. Stop by any meet or game in your Cyclone gear and get your picture taken with Cy to show your support for Iowa State.
Take a picture in front of the Campanile
Get a clone cone
Only available at basketball games, the Clone Cone is a tower of swirled red and gold ice cream.
Your parents are standing by the Fountain of Four Seasons and have you stand by the Iowa State University sign. Chances are, you’ve probably already done this. If not, don’t forget to get at least one. Try standing right outside of the Gold Star Hall at the top of the steps, and you’ll be able to get the fountain, sign and Campanile all in the frame!
Curtiss to Beardshear
Take a picture with Cy
Although the Iowa State Daily does not condone any illegal behavior, it is a longstanding tradition to streak between the buildings Curtiss and Beardshear at midnight. It is said that doing this will make you an official Iowa State student.
Join a club or organization.
There are more than 850 officially recognized clubs to join at Iowa State. There are clubs based on major, religion, politics, sports, outdoor recreation, games and much more. There are groups such as the Cyclone Flyers, who fly planes, to the Live-Action-Roleplay club to Student Government. You’ll meet tons of new people, learn new things and have tons of fun.
Ride every Cyride route
Since Cyride is free for all students, why not use it? Ride every route all the way through and discover some parts of Ames you never knew existed. Or perhaps find a new fast way to your first class Monday morning.
IOWA STATE DAILY WELCOME BACK | SUMMER 2016
Following the last item, get a picture with Cy! Bonus points if it’s front of the Campanile.
Pics with unofficial animal mascots
We all love Cy, but Iowa State boasts a few unofficial campus mascots as well. Keep an eye out for the albino squirrel, who will bring you good fortune, or stop by Lake Laverne to see Lancelot and Elaine, the swans who live there. Bonus points if you get a photo – triple points for selfies.
Eat a Superdog
Superdog parks its food cart across from the Kum & Go on Welch Ave. and is popular among Welch’s late night visitors. The ingredients are odd – including pineapple and a layer of potato chips – but the experience is considered necessary before graduation by many students.
Order Insomnia after midnight
Take advantage of the late hours of this delicious cookie place. Seriously.

By Jill.O’Brien@ iowastatedaily.com Iowa State Theatre has scheduled six productions for the 2017-18 school year, and auditions for the shows come up quickly. Preparing for theater auditions may seem like a lot of work, but with these tips, you’ll be ready for whatever the production team may throw your way leading up to the day of the audition.
Over prepare
Being underprepared in an audition room can be daunting and potentially embarrassing for any actor. “Rehearse and rehearse your material. Ask friends or mentors to watch and give you feedback,” said Vivian Cook, member of the Theatre Department recruitment committee and co-founder/producer of the One Act Play days. “Keep experimenting so that once you’ve decided on how you are going to present your piece, you know you can be flexible.”
Know your abilities — and hone them
Directors want to know not only who you are as an actor, but also as
Tyler Hupp (John Worthing) and Erin Stein (Gwendolen Fairfax) embrace during rehearsals for The Importance of Being Earnest on Feb. 20 at the Fisher Theatre.
a person. That said, you as the actor need to know yourself as well, and how willing you are to do something outside your comfort zone. “They may ask you to try something different or new, but you are in control of yourself and your body, voice, etc.,” Cook said. “You always have a choice.” If you feel comfortable taking the risks presented to you, then take them. If not, it’s not the end of the world.
Mind your manners in the audition room
“The audition starts long before you actually get in front of the director,” Cook said. This means that audition panels can see if you are the kind of person who can collaborate and work well with a creative team and other actors. With this in mind, be courteous to those helping out with auditions, as well as those in the room itself.
You’re giving a gift — Remember that
Auditions and performances seem so different from one another in so
many ways, but if you give an audition the same amount of passion and confidence you would give a performance, the more successful you will be. “Don’t focus on yourself. If you have prepared your pieces, your instrument (yourself), and your attitude, you will be ready to perform,” Cook said. “Whether you make it into the show or not, you’ll know you’ve performed generously and given what you have to give.”
“They may ask you to try something different or new, but you are in control of yourself and your body, voice, etc. You always have a choice.”

Rachel and Destin Pfaff starred on the T.V. show “Millionaire Matchmakers.”
By Olivia.Hanson@ iowastatedaily.com College relationships are tough - but the same advice given to millionaires can apply to you. According to Destin and Rachel Pfaff, former stars of Bravo’s “Millionaire Matchmaker,” it isn’t necessary to put too much weight on college relationships, because college is a time that is not only pivotal but has lots of pressure coming from many different areas already. The Pfaffs want to help all kinds of people. Whether it’s struggling college students getting over an ex, an entrepreneur finding love or a millionaire, there are basic rules for a good relationship. An unhealthy relationship can distract you from your work, your friends, and skew your judgement when making important decisions for your future, the Pfaffs warn. “Your relationships are going to affect friendships, it’s going to affect your relationships, it’s going to affect how you are with your parents, it’s going to affect how much money you’re going to make, its going to affect all of those things,” Destin said. “If you look at it with the kind of attitude, like ‘it’s all good. I’m
with this guy or I’m with with girl for now and it turns to be something fantastic, with kids down the line, wonderful!’ But for now, just try to enjoy the now and take one step at a time and one foot in front on the other and focus on all of the other stuff also because that’s going to make life spectacular.” One service that they offer after a hard break ups, is ‘ex-cleansing.’ This service “can help people get rid of the old relationship’s ghosts.” What this means is that people either dealing with an ex they can’t get over, or viceversa, dealing with an ex that can’t get over them, can get counseling and advice to move to a place where they or the other person can move on. Destin says that this day in age, it can be much harder to get over an ex when there is constant reminders of them everywhere, as well as quicker access to the memories you shared with them.

“Should I adopt a pet?”
Also, remember, animals aren’t cheap. If you can’t afford to feed yourself your first couple years of college, you definitely can’t afford to feed another being.
This is a thought that crosses a lot of college students’ minds — but it’s important to really think this through before you adopt any little creature. Here are a few questions to ask yourself before you hit the animal shelter or pet store.
How much time do I have to commit to this animal?
How much room do I have/can I afford an animal?
If you’re living in the dorms, you don’t have enough room for a dog. Plain and simple. Even if you live in the den, the answer is still no. Even if you’re planning on getting a puppy or a smaller breed of dog, it’s still a no. Puppies will get bigger and any breed of dog that barks (all of them) will annoy you, your roommates and anyone that lives in your hallway when they’re trying to study or sleep. You also need to think about what kind of space your animal will need. Will your dog or cat honestly be happy in a tiny dorm where they only have a small square to explore and one window to look out of? Probably not. Because most animals (besides emotional support animals) are not allowed in the dorms anyways, the only animal that is honestly fit for a dorm is a fish.
44
So, you’re out of the dorms and think you have the space for a pet to live comfortably, but do you have the time? College is hard. There are a lot of things that you have to worry about - classes, a job, rent, a social life, etc. Will you have enough time between all of this to train your animal? To take them to the bathroom? To love them? Imagine you want to go out to the bars one weekend and no one is around to let your dog out. Are you willing to possibly pay for an Uber to bring you home so you can bring your dog to the bathroom? Are you willing to miss out on weekend trips because no one can watch your pet? Are you willing to be home every morning and night to feed your animal? Even if you’re willing to miss out on fun times with your friends in order to have a pet, you also need to think about the other things that you would need to do in order to spend proper amount of time with your animal. You’d need to come home every so often throughout the day in order to feed/walk/bring it outside. That means that if you don’t live
IOWA STATE DAILY WELCOME BACK | SUMMER 2017
super close to campus, you’ll need to work your class schedule around so that you have enough time to go home during the day. Not to mention your work schedule. It may be easy to rearrange your class schedule or skip a class every once in awhile to go home, but your work schedule might not be as easy. “I can come home to feed him/her between classes for lunch and then in between class and work for dinner!” OK, that got the feeding and probably bathroom breaks out of the way, but what are they going to do in between that time? Sit and stare out the window waiting for you to come back? That’s no life for an animal. If you are too busy, you can’t have an animal.
Will you have enough time between all of this to train your animal? To take them to the bathroom? To love them?
| LIVING HERE |
Does the place that I’m living even allow animals?
This is a very important question to ask before you adopt. Yes, great! You and your animal are best friends — you have enough space and time to care for them, but you need somewhere for the two of you to live and if the building that you signed with doesn’t allow animals, you have a problem. Always make sure your animal is allowed to live with you before adopting. Although all residential buildings have the right to bar their residents from keeping pets in
their units, they cannot bar their residents from owning emotional support animals under the Fair Housing Act.
Do I qualify for an emotional support animal?
Emotional support animals are defined by Iowa State as animals that provide well-being or comfort that eases one or more identified symptoms or effects of a disability. In order to register an animal as an emotional support animal, you will need to discuss your need with your doctor or counselor and receive a letter of recommendation/need.
What are my plans after graduation?
Animals aren’t temporary. Although college may only last four — or five, no judgement — years, doesn’t mean that your animal will. If you aren’t willing to bring your animal with you after college — don’t get one. Simple. As much as you think you need an animal in your life, you need to think about how much it will affect you to care for an animal on your own and the quality of life that animal will have before you adopt.

Dried fruit
It’s healthy, mess-free and saves space compared to the nondried versions. Eating an apple in class is messy, with juice and apple cores to deal with — not to mention chomping noises. Dried apple slices eliminate those problems, and the same can be said for other dried fruits. Dried banana slices can usually be found in campus c-stores or cafés in a pinch.
Finger sandwiches By Maggie.Curry@ iowastatedaily.com You’re looking at your schedule, and you realize that you need something quick and quiet to eat in class — something that won’t make a mess and won’t have your classmates thinking of you as “noisy chip girl” all semester (you’re not going through that again). There are many ways to bother your classmates — smell, noise, even allergies are all things to consider. Here are some snacks to keep your brain going and your neighbors happy.

Kid’s trail mix
All right, so we’re all adults here. That doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy goldfish, raisins, M&Ms, Teddy Grahams and pretzel sticks mixed together in a bag. While some of the snacks are a little crunchy, smaller mouthfuls won’t bother your neighbors if they’re nut-free.
Cheese sticks or Yogurt
Cheese sticks open quietly, can be bitten or torn into strips, and can be picked up in cafés or food courts around campus. Yogurt requires a spoon but is still quiet, relatively mess-free, and granola can be added for more substance. Both snacks are filling and healthy.
S’more snack mix
For something very sweet, try a s’more-inspired snack mix. Teddy Grahams, mini marshmallows and chocolate chips are the standard mix, but various flavors of all three allow for personal experimentation.

By Jenna.Hrdlicka@ iowastatedaily.com You’re 21. You know binging is bad for you, but you like alcohol, and you’re not so familiar with casual drinking yet. Welcome to brunch. Brunch is the weekend meal where the drinks play almost as important of a role as the food, and is the perfect place to try your hand at basic bartending. Plus, you get to sleep in. Follow this guide to master the basics on brunch classics.
Bloody Mary
The bloody mary has been a staple brunch addition ever since its supposed invention in 1921, according to Esquire. This drink typically begins with a classic tomato juice and vodka base, but is often customized according to personal preference. Classic bloody mary base *Recipe from Eater. Ingredients: 4 oz. tomato juice 2 oz. vodka 3-5 dashes Worcestershire sauce 1 oz. lemon juice 1 tsp. celery salt Tabasco sauce and horseradish to taste
Directions:
Spice it up
Adding extra hot sauce or different seasonings can up the heat of the drink or add more depth to the flavor profile. Try a dash of: ºº Sriracha sauce ºº Old Bay seasoning ºº Dried dill ºº Cayenne pepper
Mix it in
Adding mix-ins can help add complexity to the drink. Try adding: ºº Olive or pickle brine ºº A splash of Guinness or another stout beer ºº Clam juice
Top it off
While most bloody marys are garnished with a pickle, a few green olives and a celery stick, some bartenders choose to go above and beyond when topping off their drinks. Try: ºº Bacon ºº Shrimp ºº Cheese cubes ºº Pepperchinis ºº A small triangle of grilled cheese ºº A mini cheeseburger
Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake to mix. Pour over ice, garnish and serve.

Mimosa
Another brunch favorite, the mimosa, is most commonly prepared with orange juice, champagne or sparkling wine and sometimes a splash of Grand Marnier or Triple Sec. This simple drink is a classic brunch addition and can be modified in a variety of ways. Classic mimosa ºº Ingredients: ºº Orange juice ºº Champaign or a dry, sparkling wine ºº Grand Marnier or Triple Sec (optional) Directions: Combine equal parts orange juice and champagne in a flute glass. Top with a splash of Grand Marnier or Triple Sec if desired.
Get fruity with it
Substituting other fruit juices or purees is one of the most common mimosa variations. Try: ºº Pomegranate juice ºº Pineapple juice ºº Cranberry juice ºº Grapefruit juice ºº Mango puree ºº Raspberry lemonade ºº Limeade
Chill it
Freeze small pieces of fruit and add to the finished drink. The frozen fruit will help keep the drink cold, as well as make the drink more visually appealing.

Irish Coffee Substitute it
While mimosas are most commonly prepared with champagne or sparkling wine, other alcoholic beverages can be substituted to make mimosa variations. Try: Beer and orange juice for a “beermosa” Tequila, orange juice, and a splash of grenadine for a “tequila sunrise”
Coffee
For many, coffee is a staple for any breakfast or brunch. Adding in a boozy addition can jazz up your brunch caffeine boost. Irish coffee is one of the most popular alcoholic coffee drinks, but other additions can be used as well.
IOWA STATE DAILY WELCOME BACK | SUMMER 2016
*Recipe from Food Network Ingredients: 1 cup hot coffee 1 tbs brown sugar 3 tbs Irish whiskey Heavy cream to taste Directions: Add the brown sugar to the hot coffee and stir until dissolved. Stir in the Irish Whiskey. Slightly whip the cream and top off the drink by slowly pouring the cream in over the back of a spoon.
Other additions
Other liquor additions that pair well with coffee include amaretto, hazelnut liquor, Baileys and rum.

By Megan.Salo@ iowastatedaily.com If you didn’t stay this summer, you missed out. You should stay at least one summer during your time at Iowa State, and here’s why: Ames in the summer is a completely different atmosphere than when all 36,000 students are hanging around. You can experience the town and campus you live in in a whole new way. Not surprisingly, Ames is a lot quieter in the summer due to the decrease in student population. You may think this is a bad thing, but when you can get to Target from campus in less than 10 minutes, you won’t miss the busy days. Also, fewer people means more space in the gyms, cafes and buses, shorter lines for food and coffee and more access to amenities such as counseling services and the health centers. Summer classes are formatted easier and although they are scheduled for five days a week, they only last for half of the summer and you’re more likely to get personal help from your professors when the class sizes are smaller. After your classes are over, you’ll have plenty of free time to check out Ames as a city and not just a campus. Summer is the perfect time to take advantage of the warm weather and
explore Reiman Gardens and Ada Hayden or to visit the cute little shops, cafes and restaurants in North Ames and downtown. During the summer there are also many fun activities that you won’t want to miss. There are two different farmer’s markets, one on Main Street and one by the North Grand Mall that sell fruits, vegetables, flowers, homemade gifts and more. Living in Ames also puts you in a great location to travel to Des Moines for their weekly farmer market, which ranked second of the 101 Best Farmers Markets in America by The Daily Meal. Although there are plenty of ways to relax and unwind in Ames during the summer, you’ll also get a few lessons on “adulting” if you stay. Because most of the dorms and greek houses are closed during these months, many students get their first taste of apartment life during the summer. Figuring out rent, utilities, buying your own food and cooking for yourself, living with roommates, etc. may seem terrifying, but what better way to ease
into it when you don’t have a million other things going on? Plus, the students that are leaving for the summer may be subleasing their apartments so you might even get a deal on rent. Another thing to ease into during the summer – a job. During the school year, you may be too busy for a part — time job — or at least that’s what you tell your parents so they’ll keep sending you money. All of the businesses that are losing their student employees for the summer need to replace them and the best time to get adjusted to a job is when it’s slower. By the time campus is flooded with 36,000 broke students looking for a job, you’ll already have one and be ready for the crowds. So, make sure to allot a summer in Ames into your four – or five, no judgment – years at Iowa State. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

First year on campus
Welcome to Iowa State! This year will be filled with many new experiences and a lot of firsts. Your first Iowa State lecture, your first Iowa State roommate, your first Iowa State party, your first Iowa State final exam and maybe your first time living on your own, cooking your own meals and doing your own laundry. All these firsts can be overwhelming and maybe even terrifying, so this year you should focus on getting adjusted to life at Iowa State– figuring out where things are on campus, how to live on your own and how to study. Your first year sets the tone for how the rest of your college career will go. The longer it takes you to get used to college life, the harder it will be. Focus on meeting new people, finding extracurricular activities you enjoy and getting good grades. Your first year is probably going to be filled with the easiest classes you will take here, so make sure you don’t ignore your studies while you’re getting adjusted.
Second year
By your second year, you’re used to where most things are on campus and you’ve probably established your close group of friends. The
56
second year is the hardest year for a lot of students – you’ve figured out how to pass your 100 level classes so you might think you have your school work figured out. Don’t get too comfortable. Your first year, you could probably get away with skipping class regularly and not doing the readings, but classes will get harder this year, so make sure you stay on top of your studies and go to class every once in a while. Just like your first year, you should continue to explore extracurricular activities and trying new things – take a class or two because you’re interested in the subject, not because it’s a required class. Who knows? You might love it so much you decide to change your major.
Third year
You’re now an upperclassman! For many of you, your third year is junior year – and the year that you turn 21, so for many of you this can turn into your party year. You’re finally able to hit the Welch bars on the weekends and Wednesday dollars and Thursday mug nights. Enjoy it! You’re only 21 once and there’s only about a month that you’re able to get free drinks by telling strangers that “it’s my birthday!” and get away with it. But between that partying, make sure you’re
IOWA STATE DAILY WELCOME BACK | SUMMER 2016
also studying. I know, I sound like your parents, but it’s important. For some majors, internships are required to graduate and you don’t want to be the person sending out their less-than-impressive resumes three months after everyone else because you were too hung-over to volunteer or join campus organizations.
Fourth (Last?) year
You’re about nine months away from the “real world” so it’s time to start learning how to “adult.” I know that’s terrifying but it’s not that bad as long as you know exactly what you want to do with your life, have a job lined up and know how you’ll be supporting yourself in less than a year. No? Well, good luck. Kidding. Kinda. As much as you’re freaking out about how you need to have your life together in nine months, also remember that you only have nine months of college life left. In nine months, it won’t be nearly as acceptable to spend your weekends tailgating, partying and only eating take out. So live it up! But make sure you do enough schoolwork to make it to graduation – or don’t — there’s nothing wrong with a victory lap!

HANNAH OLSON /IOWA STATE DAILY
| OPINION |
By I owa State Daily columnists Maybe it’s a stereotype, but no one is surprised when students become involved in college parties and drinking, even when first starting college. The idea that students just looking for fun look for it in the form of drinking is an example of an alcohol culture. Different cultures address alcohol differently, but for college students, it’s usually considered a way to have fun. For some, it’s the only way to have fun. The college alcohol culture has always been persistent in many forms throughout the years. But there is a dark side to the “just for fun” alcohol culture. Many students, instead of casual drinking, usually engage in binge drinking, especially when they find themselves in a party environment. Casual drinking is also known as social drinking, and is usually considered to mean alcohol is being consumed, but without the intention of getting drunk. Binge drinking is the excessive consumption of alcohol in a relatively short period of time, usually with the intention of getting drunk. Did you know? According to a national survey reported by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, almost 60 percent of college students ages 18–22 drank alcohol in the past month, and almost two out three of these students engaged in binge drinking during that same timeframe. Along with the party environment peer pressure can also be a factor that leads students to engage in binge drinking. This peer pressure can be influential, especially for college
58
freshmen who are trying to fit in. But just because you aren’t a freshmen doesn’t mean that pressure goes away. As peers age, friend groups will often go through a new round of pressure when reaching the legal consumption age. “The first six weeks [of the school year] are a vulnerable time for heavy drinking and alcohol-related consequences because of student expectations and social pressures at the start of the academic year,” said the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Many don’t consider the consequences of binge drinking, especially as young students. It can lead to a higher chance of driving under the influence, health problems and academic problems. “Never feel you need to drink at a party,” fellow Iowa State student, Nayelie Valenzuela, said. “If you don’t want to drink, it’s OK. If they don’t respect that then that party is not worth it. But also don’t brag about how you can still party without getting drunk. It’s a buzzkill.” Luckily, Iowa State offers helpful resources for students who have questions about alcohol culture or just need someone to talk to. The Wellness Center in Friley Hall is one of those places.
IOWA STATE DAILY WELCOME BACK | SUMMER 2016
Incoming freshmen are required to complete the AlcoholEdu program before classes start so students are aware of not only the consequences of alcohol abuse, but also how to safely drink. Alcohol is a drug, and intentionally consuming too much can lead to alcohol poisoning – think of it like an overdose. Understanding portions and how they change depending on the type of alcohol is important for safe drinking.
Casual drinking is also known as social drinking, and is usually considered to mean alcohol is being consumed, but without the intention of getting drunk. Binge drinking is the excessive consumption of alcohol in a relatively short period of time, usually with the intention of getting drunk.

By Aaron.Marner@ iowastatedaily.com For the last four years, Iowa State basketball fans were blessed to watch the most successful stretch in school history. Monte Morris and Matt Thomas left Iowa State as the winningest duo in school history, winning a total of 98 games together. At least one of those two have started all but four games since 2013-14, along with starting 62 games together over the past two years. Now that Morris, Thomas, and Naz Mitrou-Long are gone, it’s time for Iowa State to find new faces for the program.
The Prized Recruit
Following in the footsteps of former Cyclones Naz MitrouLong and Melvin Ejim, incoming guard Lindell Wigginton hails from Canada. Wigginton, who played prep ball at Oak Hill in Virginia, was one of the highest-rated prospects in the 2017 class. A 5-star recruit, according to Rivals, and one of the top 50 prospects by virtually every recruiting service, Wigginton is the highest-rated Iowa State signee since Craig Brackins. Recruiting services can’t agree on his position. At 6-foot-1 and
| SPORTS |
175 pounds, Wigginton has a point guard’s body. But something — probably his athleticism and scoring ability — has people thinking Wigginton should play shooting guard. Wigginton will likely have an opportunity to start on day one for Iowa State. Only 20 Iowa State freshmen have ever been in the starting lineup for their first college game. The last two Cyclones to start on day one? Matt Thomas in 2013 and Melvin Ejim in 2010. If Wigginton’s career goes anything like the careers of Thomas and Ejim, Iowa State is in good shape.
The Hidden Gem
Terrence Lewis, the No. 59 recruit according to ESPN in the class of 2017, has also signed to play at Iowa State.
Normally such a highly rated player would be the star of the recruiting class. But thanks to Wigginton, Lewis may stay in the shadows a bit more to start his college career, and that may not be a bad thing. Lewis is listed at 6-foot-6 and 195 pounds, but has said in the past he would like to weigh in around 210 by the time his college career starts. Fans of the Wayne Morgan era at Iowa State may watch Lewis and have flashbacks to Rahshon Clark, who played from 2004-08. Clark built his college career around his length, athleticism and versatility; Lewis happens to share those same traits.
The Veterans
Iowa State picked up a few transfers as well. Graduate transfers Jeff Beverly of
Texas-San Antonio and Princeton’s Hans Brase both announced their intentions to sign with Iowa State. Beverly, who stands 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds, will provide immediate size and experience for a depleted Cyclone frontcourt. He started every game for UTSA last year and led the team with 15.8 points per game.
Now that Morris, Thomas, and Naz Mitrou-Long are gone, it’s time for Iowa State to find new faces for the program.

Thu, Sept. 28 vs TEXAS
By Aaron.Marner@ iowastatedaily.com
Iowa State’s 2017 football schedule features 12 games. Six will be played at home in Jack Trice Stadium, with six being played on the road.
Sat, Sept. 2 vs UNI The first two games of the year, just like 2016, will be against in-state rivals Northern Iowa and Iowa. The Cyclones lost both games to in-state foes last year. The season opener with UNI will kick off at 7 p.m. September 2. If Iowa State hopes to make a bowl game, it can’t lose to UNI like it did last season.
Sat, Sept. 9 vs IOWA The Cyclones haven’t beaten Iowa since 2014, when they won at Iowa, 20-17. The CyHawk series is tied at 10 wins apiece over the last 20 games, so this year’s game is sure to be a good one. Iowa’s starting quarterback for the last two seasons, C.J. Beathard, graduated after last season and the Hawkeyes don’t have anyone with experience at the quarterback position.
Sat, Sept. 16 @ Akron After that, Iowa State will travel to Akron, Ohio, to take on the Akron Zips. This will be an important game for Iowa State’s recruiting. Matt Campbell and several other members of the Cyclone coaching staff are from Ohio and they have made an effort to recruit the area in recent years. Players such as Deshaunte Jones and David Montgomery have made their mark at Iowa State after playing high school ball in Ohio.

Big 12 play begins with Iowa State’s game against Texas on September 28. Texas is led by first-year head coach Tom Herman, who spent three seasons in the Paul Rhoads era as the Iowa State offensive coordinator.
Sat, Oct. 7 @ Oklahoma The toughest game of the year is when Iowa State travels to Norman, Oklahoma, to take on the Oklahoma Sooners. Oklahoma has won 74 of the 81 total meetings between the two schools. Last year’s game in Ames remained fairly close, but ultimately the Sooners prevailed with a 34-24 victory.
Sat, Nov. 4 @ West Virginia Three of Iowa State’s final four games are on the road, including tough matchups at West Virginia, Baylor and Kansas State. The Cyclones lost to all three of those teams a year ago.
Sat, Nov. 11 vs OKLAHOMA STATE Everyone remembers the 2011 Oklahoma State game, which also happened to be in November in Ames. While this year’s matchup might not be as good as the 2011 upset, the pieces are in place for another big game.
Sat, Oct. 14 vs KANSAS
Sat, Nov. 18 @ Baylor
Iowa State won last year’s matchup at Kansas thanks to a strong showing from Jacob Park and 10 catches from Allen Lazard. Kansas, who finished dead last during the 2016 Big 12 season, will be a must-win opponent for Iowa State if they hope to make a bowl game.
Last year’s matchup with Baylor was a tough one. Iowa State scored on its first six possessions before faltering down the stretch. Baylor scored the final 17 points of the game to win on a last-second field goal, 45-42. Baylor is on its third head coach in the last three years after Art Briles was fired before the 2016 season.
Sat, Oct. 21 @ Texas Tech Later in the month, Iowa State will play at Texas Tech. The Red Raiders will surely be looking for revenge after Iowa State won last year’s game 66-10. Iowa State has found a lot of success in the run game against Texas Tech in recent years. Mike Warren ran for over 200 yards against the Red Raiders as a freshman and Joel Lanning found the endzone five times in last year’s win.
Sat, Oct. 28 vs. TCU Last year’s game against TCU didn’t go so well for Iowa State. The Cyclones still hadn’t gotten over their early season issues and TCU was able to win by three touchdowns. But with this year’s game in Ames, Iowa State could steal a win and put themselves higher in the Big 12 race with a win.
IOWA STATE DAILY WELCOME BACK | SUMMER 2017
Sat, Nov. 25 @ Kansas State Iowa State hasn’t knocked off Kansas State in a decade. This will be the first time Iowa State has played in Manhattan since the 2015 game at Kansas State, which led to the firing of Paul Rhoads. The Cyclones fumbled the ball twice in the closing minutes and blew a sure win. For Iowa State to make a bowl game, it will have to win some games it isn’t supposed to win, but anything can happen in college football.

By I owa State Daily Sports Staff The 2017-18 sports seasons have a lot of intrigue and mystery. Lots of familiar faces are gone, such as men’s basketball stars Monte Morris and Naz Mitrou-Long. A new generation of Cyclone athletes are taking the reins.
ISU wide receiver Allen Lazard catches the ball in the endzone for a touchdown during the game against Kansas State. The Wildcats would go on to defeat the Cyclones 38-35.
Football:
Matt Campbell’s first year as head coach didn’t go quite as planned. The 3-9 record wasn’t the end of the world; Paul Rhoads wasn’t let go until he went 3-9, 2-10 and 3-9 in three consecutive years, and everyone knew Campbell would have an uphill battle to face with recruiting. But losing to Northern Iowa in the season opener? That’s as bad a start as Campbell could have imagined. Luckily, the Cyclones gained some momentum before the season ended. Iowa State won two of its final three games, including a 66-10 beatdown of the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Jacob Park threw for more than 350 yards in the season finale against West Virginia, but the Cyclones came up short. After a great recruiting class, the Cyclones are looking toward a better future in 2017. A bowl game could be on the horizon if things fall into place.
Barring a catastrophe, Allen Lazard will break numerous records next season at wide receiver, including records for career receptions and career receiving yards. The record for career receiving touchdowns might be out of reach, since Lazard needs 15 more trips to the endzone to match Todd Blythe’s school record of 31. With offensive firepower that includes Jacob Park, Lazard, David Montgomery, Mike Warren and Deshaunte Jones, points and yards won’t be hard to come by. The problem could be the defense, which replaces a number of key performers — such as Jhaustin Thomas and Demond Tucker on the defensive line. If the defense can get off the field, Iowa State fans could find themselves on a beach in California or Florida in late December.

Men’s basketball:
Wrestling:
The Iowa State men’s basketball team made its sixth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2016-17. Led by a solid group of seniors — including second round NBA Draft pick Monte Morris — the Cyclones went on a tear to end the season. Iowa State won nine of its final 10 games before the NCAA Tournament, which included a win at No. 2 Kansas and a Big 12 Tournament Championship title. After the season, six Cyclones graduated and another — sophomore Simeon Carter — announced he would transfer. But not all was lost. Donovan Jackson, the hero in the win at Kansas, is back for his senior campaign. Nick Weiler-Babb earned some minutes off the bench last season and will be expected to step into a bigger role next year. And you can’t forget Lindell Wigginton.
68
Wigginton, a 5-star prospect according to Rivals.com, is seen as one of the best incoming freshmen in the nation. He led the Canadian U19 team to its first gold medal at the FIBA World Cup in July, thanks to an 11-point, three-rebound and three-assist performance in the championship game. Wigginton isn’t alone. Terrence Lewis is a 4-star prospect, according to 247Sports, and he was the top-rated player in the state of Wisconsin. The duo of Wigginton and Lewis could be one of the most talented freshmen pairs in the nation. Cyclone fans will get a chance to see the new team square off against a hyped up Missouri squad in the season opener on November 10 in Columbia, Missouri.

Iowa State wrestling had a below-average year, finishing 1-12. The lone win came against Northern Colorado. At the end of the season, Kevin Jackson stepped down as head coach. The Cyclones hired Virginia Tech coach and Humboldt, Iowa, native Kevin Dresser. The Cyclones face multiple roster holes, after graduating 11 seniors. Iowa State rebounded with the #15 ranked recruiting class, according to intermatwrestling.com. Iowa State brought in four recruits: Marcus Coleman, Austin Gomez, Ryan Leisure and Mac Southard. Gomez has shown promise already, coming up one point shy of qualifying for the Junior World Team. With a new coach and a couple of new faces, Iowa State wrestling might make some noise after a rough 2016–2017.
Then-junior Nick Voke practices his chipping on Oct 7, 2015 at the ISU golf facility.

Men’s Golf:
Men & Women’s Track+Field/XC:
Andrew Tank’s team graduated three seniors, including All-American Nick Voke. The senior core helped secure a team bid in the 2017 NCAA Championship tournament. Iowa State finished tied for 18th. The Cyclones lost a large part of the team, but they still have quality golfers. After strong freshman campaigns, Tripp Kinney and Sam Vincent are expected to be groomed as the next crop of leaders.
Iowa State had a number of great performers during the 2016-17 school year, including some Big 12 champions and All-Americans. The most prominent was women’s long jumper Jhoanmy Luque. Luque, a native of Venezuela, was named Iowa State Female Athlete of the Year following her record-setting year. Luque set a Venezuelan national record in the long jump with a leap of 21-7 ¼, which also set a school record. The 2017-18 men’s and women’s seasons kick off September 1 in Iowa City, Iowa, at the Hawkeye Invitational. ISU will also compete at the Roy Griak Invitational in Minnesota and the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational before taking part in the Big 12 postseason. Iowa State will also host the 2017 NCAA Midwest Regional on November 10.

Women’s Golf:
Iowa State’s women’s golf team finished second in the Big 12 Tournament, the Cyclones best finish ever. Iowa State was only seven strokes behind first-place Texas. At the NCAA Lubbock Regional, Iowa State finished 10th. Celia Barquin narrowly missed a chance at an individual berth to the NCAA Championship. The NCAA Championship picks the three best scores, but Barquin finished fourth among players from the six qualifying teams. The Cyclones are in a prime position to have one of the top Big 12 teams again in 2017. Iowa State returns all five players.

Sophomore Jess Schaben tries to hit the ball over a net during a volleyball game against the Creighton Bluejays Aug. 28 in Hilton Coliseum. Though the Cyclones won the first set, they would eventually lose 3-1.
Volleyball:
Iowa State’s volleyball squad finished the 2016 season 18-11, including a win over #5 Texas. The Cyclones had a hot stretch during the end of October through the beginning of November, rattling off six straight conference wins. Coach Christy Johnson-Lynch managed to snag the No. 17 ranked recruiting class, according to PrepVolleyball.com. The incoming class features three top-100 players: setter Piper Mauck (No. 24), middle blocker Meegan Hart (No. 86) and middle blocker Avery Rhodes (No. 91). Iowa State graduated three seniors, but it retains valuable pieces to the team. Jess Schaben, the team leader in kills, is only a sophomore this season. Along with Schaben, Monique Harris returns. Harris led the team in assists last season.
Emma Hylen throws a pitch in a 17-0 Cyclone loss to the Baylor Lady Bears on April 3, 2016.
Softball:
Jamie Trachsel’s Iowa State team finished 23-35 in her first season as head coach. The Cyclones secured the highest finish in the Big 12 Tournament, finishing fifth. Sami Williams and Kelsey McFarland were named to the NFCA Midwest Region First Team. Taylor Nearad, Andrea Gonzalez, Julie Lewis and Bryn Hanrahan all committed to the Iowa State program in the offseason. Nearad is a two-time Schutt Sports/NFCA National Junior College National Player of the Year. The Cyclones graduated four seniors, but Iowa State used its young talent a lot in 2016. Sophomore pitcher Emma Hylen pitched the most innings this season, while freshman Sami Williams was the Cyclones’ top hitter.

Tennis:
The Iowa State tennis team is coming off its best season this century after finishing 15-11. Although the Cyclones failed to advance past their first-round matchup at the Big 12 Championships, the team finished over .500 for the second time since 2000, and second season in a row. The end of the season marked the end of the career for Sami Budai, who will graduate with the most doubles wins in school history at 76. Budai also ranks second all-time in Iowa State history with 141 career wins. Even though Iowa State will lose such a dominant player, the future seems bright for the Cyclones. This year’s team will not feature a single senior, giving the Cyclones a young core to use. The team will start play in September.

In the final heat of the 1650 freestyle at the Big 12 championships, Keely Soellner set an Iowa State record in the mile with a time of 16:26.59. Soellner was named first-team AllBig 12 after the season. Divers Julie Dickinson and Becky Stochl competed at the NCAA Zone D Diving Championship. Diving coach Jeff Warrick was also named diving coach of the meet at the Big 12 championships, thanks to a strong performance from Dickinson. The 2017-18 season will get under way in October.

The Iowa State women’s soccer team finished with a 10-8-1 record in 2016, the only above-.500 record since 2011. Iowa State lost a close game against Oklahoma in the Big 12 tournament that ended its season. The 2017 season features an exciting slate of games, headlined by a rematch against Florida. Florida was in the top 10 last season and will have a good team again this season. That matchup with Florida falls on September 17 in Ames. The annual CyHawk game is scheduled for August 25 in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes won last season’s matchup thanks to a pair of second-half goals.

Gymnastics:
Thanks to Haylee Young, Iowa State managed to put up some solid performances in 2016-17. Young qualified for the NCAA Gymnastics Championships after a strong junior campaign. Against Alabama, Young had one of the best individual meets in recent school history. Young posted an all-around score of 39.525, the best all-around score of any Cyclone since 2007. This year, Young’s senior campaign as a Cyclone should be intriguing. After her strong performance in 2016-17 Young should be in prime position to qualify for the NCAA Championships once more.

Women’s basketball:
The Iowa State women’s basketball team had an up-and-down season in 2016-17, but ultimately, it ended with a trip to the NCAA Tournament. Iowa State lost a pair of early-season games to Iowa and eventual national runner-up Mississippi State, but the Cyclones were in good shape early in the season. After a poor start to Big 12 play, the Cyclones reeled off five straight wins to end the regular season, including a 70-66 win at No. 6 Texas. Thanks to the strong finish, Iowa State ended in fifth place in the Big 12 and was able to make the NCAA Tournament as a nine-seed.

Iowa State’s season — and the illustrious careers of Jadda Buckley and Seanna Johnson — came to an end with a 85-65 loss to Syracuse in the first round. Next season is promising for the Cyclones. The star of the show will be junior Bridget Carleton, who was a unanimous selection for first-team All-Big 12 as a sophomore. Carleton averaged 15 points and 5.7 rebounds per game and led Iowa State with 63 made 3-pointers. Carleton, Meredith Burkhall and Emily Durr are the only returnees with considerable experience at Iowa State, which means incoming freshmen — such as highly touted Madison Wise — will be crucial to Iowa State’s success.
