UI gives all vets state tuition
ELECTION 2016
Starting to feel the ‘Bern’
By ANDERS FRIEBERG anders-frieberg@uiowa.edu
Out of state tuition isn’t mandatory for all nonresidents. The University of Iowa recently changed its policy to allow veterans, currently enlisted military members, and their dependents to receive instate tuition no matter what state they are from. The change is due to the mandate in the federal Veterans Access, Choice & Accountability Branstad Act of 2014. While not governor exclusively required, public colleges must provide this to maintain GI Bill payment eligibility. The federal government has delayed enforcing this until January 2016. Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad signed a similar state bill into law last year, the Home Base Iowa Initiative. The law requires community colleges to provide instate tuition to military personnel and veterans, as well as their dependents. It followed the federal government’s act, which affected the regent universities. The UI has begun preparing for the influx of veterans. “This will help bring more students who are active with the military to campus and expand the demographics of whom we bring to campus,” said Sarah Billeter, the project director at the Center for Diversity & Enrichment. Billeter said some of the new students might bring a different culture to campus. “Those who have been active in the military or are still in the National Guard bring a sense of maturity, because they are not necessarily 18 or 19

Sorority raises hackles
County passes wage hike

The University of Iowa chapter of the Alpha Phi sorority, which was founded in 1878, is feeling the heat after a video of one of its recruitment songs went viral. The video shows a group of Alpha Phi members who identify themselves as sophomores singing about binge drinking, blacking out, and making degrading comments about other sororities and fraternities at the UI. The video appeared to be recorded outdoors on the front steps of the sorority’s house, 906 E. College St. It was later
“Raise the wage,” said a sign held by a resident on Thursday demanded in a packed Johnson County Board of Supervisors’ meeting. Shortly after, the supervisors, in a third and final vote, unanimously approved an ordinance that will do just that. The ordinance to raise the county’s minimum wage will go into effect in three stages. On Nov. 1, the wage will change from $7.25 to $8.25. In May 2016, it will increase to $9.15. The final jump to a $10.10 wage would take place on Jan. 1, 2017.

Supervisor Mike Carberry said the supervisors would have an ongoing committee to monitor the ordinance’s progress. Additionally, Rettig warned that the county ordinance would go into effect only if a city does not pass its own minimum wage. If a city does, it can be lower, higher, or the same as the county’s. “The fight moves from here now to the city counSEE SUPS, 3

Vineyards sprout up in Iowa By ALEX KRAMER alexandria-kramer@uiowa.edu
In the Hawkeye State, corn isn’t the only crop worth noticing. With vineyards sprouting up from Council Bluffs to the Mississippi River, wine is becoming a state favorite, one glass at a time. Since 2005, the Iowa wine industry has grown to include 97 wineries and more than 300 commercial vineyards, said Michael White, a viticulture specialist at Iowa State University who has been in the industry for years. “It’s leveled off into a mature industry,” White said. “There have been around 100 wineries for the past five years now.” Nicole Eilers, the marketing director of the Iowa Wine Growers Association, a nonprofit organization formed to promote the industry, said the growth is due to consumer demand. “People are wanting to try different types of wine,” Eilers said. “With the increase of product, people are more interested in the local wine and local flavors of their area.” Though Iowa is not traditionally known for
it, wine from the state is gaining increased recognition by the state’s consumers. Most people do not have to travel far to try a local Iowa wine, Eilers said. “A lot of people in the past were so used to California or international wines,” Eilers said. “They didn’t realize that there are really great wines being made from Iowa grapes.” Many grapes used for wine in Iowa were specially developed, said Jamie Siefken, the general manager of Cedar Ridge Winery & Distillery near Swisher. “The boom of the industry can be credited to the fact that many French-American hybrid grapes were developed to grow in this region,” Siefken said. “They’re still working on hybrid grapes today, because it’s a never-ending industry.” Eilers said the industry continues to grow. “We do tend to see a continued upward trend,” she said. “I think that the industry will continue to expand, but the best will rise to the top.” The success of the industry in Iowa cannot
Vines are seen at Cedar Ridge Winery and Distillery near Swisher on Thursday. Cedar Ridge was the first licensed distillery in the state of Iowa after Prohibition. (The Daily Iowan/Jordan Gale) be attributed only to the wine. Siefken said Cedar Ridge has maintained its status as one of the largest wineries throughout the growth of the industry. Cedar Ridge is the only winery and distillery in Iowa, and it has produced wine and spirits since 2005. The idea was to differentiate the business from the ever-growing population of wineries in Iowa, Siefken said. “We have four revenue sources: wine, spirits, food, and events,” he said. “Without all four of those, we don’t think we’d be as successful as we are today.” Siefken also said wine
is more of a local industry rather than a big export, and not a lot of wine is sold outside of the state, though their wine will continue to grow and develop. “Wineries are big businesses now,” White said. “They’ve expanded themselves into restaurants, distilleries, breweries, event and meeting centers, and popular wedding locations.” White added that every county in Iowa should have at least one winery for this reason precisely. “That’s one of the biggest aspects of the winery; it’s a place for people to get together,” he said.
Digging into the Bibles By CLAIRE DIETZ claire-dietz@uiowa.edu
“In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth,” Aviya Kushner begins, as the audience members sit rapt as she speaks. To describe Kushner’s reading at Prairie Lights, 15 S. Dubuque St., on Thursday night as anything other than a full house would be an understatement. Members of her synagogue and the University of Iowa Nonfiction Writing Program flocked to hear Kushner read from the book that was only published Tuesday. Kushner’s book, The Grammar of God, explores how reading the Bible in English differs from reading the Bible, or Tanakh, in Hebrew. Raised Jewish, Kushner did not read the English translation of the Bible until college. “It was shocking because it was so different,” she said. When introduced, she was described as someone
who became fascinated by the differences in language in which a simple vowel change may be reduced to a typo, but to Kushner, meant everything. “[She] has always been deeply attuned to the power of sound,” said Spenser Mestel, Aviya Kushner a graduate Author student in the Nonfiction Writing Program who introduced Kushner. As Kushner stepped up to the podium, any nervousness she had indicated earlier seemed to fall away as she began to read from the pages that had taken her 10 years to write. One summer, Kushner analyzed only two verses: Genesis 1 and 2 and accumulated closets full of drafts, notebooks, and flashcards all pertaining to an obsession that obsti-
nately stuck around. “The English edition was, in the words of another translator, like kissing through a handkerchief,” Mestel said. “Instead of focusing on the kiss, Kushner began focusing on the handkerchief … Even after graduating, the obsession remained.” The Grammar of God is not an easy text to read; even hearing it through the author’s voice, the subject is just as dense as one would expect any discussion on the finer points of grammar would be. Yet, below the surface, there is something that tugs on the edges that makes the reader want to keep going. The work references many points of contention between translations of the Bible, of which Kushner’s mother once said, “It is impossible to read a word without its neighbors.” And these single words, such as changing taskmaster to tax master, or to slave master, can change the outcome of
the entire sentence and how the reader interprets it. Some translators and casual readers of these texts would say there was no reason for these translations, there’s no reason to look beyond the written text. Kushner argues differently. Some translations, she said, even have an effect on American society. “The translations into English are often so different from Hebrew,” Kushner said. “I encourage everyone in the room to look at different Biblical interpretations of slavery and to think about how that has affected the United States.” While the book may be cerebral and seemingly too complex for the ordinary reader, it promises to change the way people look at their divine texts. Kushner gave an incredibly enriching and thought-provoking reading and talk about the importance of questioning what we know.
UI drops in new national ranking According to the 2016 U.S. News & World Report rankings, Iowa slipped 11 places, from No. 71 to No. 82. Iowa has also lost its spot among the top-30 public universities in the nation, falling from No. 27 to No. 34. Iowa is also no longer a top-10 school for veterans,
falling from No. 10 all the way to No. 67. Iowa State also lost position among national college rankings, from No. 106 to No. 108. ISU did improve its ranking among public universities, going from No. 50 to No. 47. ISU was not ranked last year for veterans, and this year was ranked No. 89.

SANDERS
CONTINUED FROM FRONT the University of Northern Iowa, said this is probably a pleasant surprise for Sanders — who, Holmes said, might have thought he was a long-shot candidate early on. “For Clinton, on the other hand, this is a worst-case scenario,” Holmes said. In a Quinnipiac University Poll released Thursday, 41 percent of likely Democratic caucus-goers said Sanders would be their choice; 40 percent said Clinton would be their first choice. With 832 Democratic likely caucus-goers surveyed between Aug. 27-Sept. 8, there is a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points. “We’ve said from the beginning this would be a competitive caucus, and that’s why we have 78 organizers working across the state talking with Iowans about why Hillary Clinton is the candidate who will fight to make sure that cost isn’t a barrier to a college education and that debt won’t hold you back when you graduate,” Hillary for Iowa spokesman Patrick Burgwinkle said. Clinton, who is the frontrunner, has been the presumptive Democratic nominee before — in 2008, when current President Obama
won the nomination. This cycle, Clinton expected to coast the nomination, Holmes said, especially with Sanders at first seeming like a long shot. Sanders, an independent seeking the Democratic nomination and a self-declared democratic socialist, was going up against one of the most well-known politicians in America, the former first lady and former secretary of State. Sanders, however, could soon top Clinton. “The more people in Iowa get to know about Bernie, the more they like him and what he stands for,” Stephanie Schwinn, Bremer County Democratic Chair, said in a statement. “His ideas for rebuilding the American middle class and taking on the billionaire class are resonating here in Iowa and across the country.” In New Hampshire, whose primaries are just eight days after Iowa’s Feb. 1 caucus, Sanders is also ahead of Clinton, according to a NBC/ Marist Poll released this week. Forty-nine percent of Democratic potential voters said Sanders would be their choice candidate. Clinton received only 38 percent. There is a margin of error of plus or minus 5.2 percentage points. Travis Halm, who attended a Cedar Rapids’ labor union picnic that Clinton attended, said he believes
Clinton is the obvious frontrunner. At the picnic, he said, there were far more people with stickers and posters supporting Clinton, even with a Sanders table set up at the same event. Halm said he still doesn’t know whom he supports, and the election is pretty unpredictable. “I’m going to vote for the Democrat no matter what,” he said. Holmes said Clinton’s drop in the polls could make her seem like a vulnerable candidate, which could draw someone new in to the race, such as Vice President Joe Biden, former Vice President Al Gore, or even Secretary of State John Kerry. But Holmes said he does not know if momentum will continue for Sanders. He said Clinton may seem like a safe candidate, with a lot of voters saying they like Sanders but do not know if he could be elected. On the other hand, Holmes said, in polls that match Sanders against Republican candidates such as Donald Trump or Ben Carson, Sanders does just as well as Clinton. “This is generally good news for Sanders, and on a lot of fronts, this is bad news for Clinton,” Holmes said. “It looks a little more realistic now, that could be pretty hard to overcome for [Clinton] in some ways.”

Just like the cost of living is rising, we want the minimum wage to rise in equilibrium with it.” Hurtado said the center would continue its efforts with the goal of reaching a $15 minimum wage. “We’ll keep fighting,” she said. “I think we haven’t finished. It’s a victory, it’s a step, but it’s not the end.”

Years of civil war have yielded millions of refugees from Syria, desperately searching for food, water, shelter, and a better life. The rise of ISIS has seen a rise of Iraqi refugees as well, fleeing the organization’s brutality and their own country’s inadequacies. What has developed is one of the largest migrations of the modern era. More than 4 million Syrians and 3 million Iraqis have fled their countries. Many survive in horrible living conditions in massive “camps.” The European Union is finally opening its borders and beginning refugee programs aimed to both bring in refugees and minimize the numbers who die on their way to Europe. The West’s prolonged support and continued tolerance of the Assad regime is enough to cement a sense of responsibility. Unfortunately, the sensibility largely exists in Europe and has yet to find its way across the Atlantic. Germany and Sweden are at the forefront of the refugee effort, urging EU countries to start setting generous quotas to ease the tensions growing in the Middle East from so many displaced people. Italy and Hungary are also offering asylum to a relatively high number of refugees. Countries such as France and the UK offer asylum to 14,000 refugees between them, compared with Germany and Sweden’s nearly 200,000 between them. The numbers are pitiful but are far better than in one of the largest, and arguably most responsible nations in the world — the United States. The United States is set to give asylum to 1,600 refugees as of 2015, an
abysmal number when compared to the 2 million in Turkey and half million in Libya and Egypt. With the EU’s growing compassion, the pressure is on to accept more refugees, and the U.S. State Department has announced plans to take in “meaningfully increased numbers” of refugees in 2016. Perhaps the greatest international compassion has been displayed by a tiny island nation in the North Atlantic. Iceland has had a remarkable response to the call for resettling refugees. Iceland’s government announced it would take in just 50 refugees. For a country with a population a tenth the size of Iowa, 50 certainly isn’t nothing. But the Icelandic citizens believed the number was far too small. Icelandic children’s book author Bryndis Bjorgvinsdottir created a Facebook page as an open letter to the Icelandic government, requesting she be allowed to accept a small family, offering to pay their airfare, find them shelter, and get them food and water. The page caught on quickly, and thousands of Icelandic people have come to the Facebook page offering their money, their homes, and their skills to refugees. The overwhelming support for refugees has led the Icelandic government to rethink its position, and it’s reconstructing the laws around admitting asylum seekers as a result. The outpouring of compassion and support is both admirable and inspiring, and the trend might be contagious. The United States, with a population more than 1,000 times that of Iceland, has the means and resources to do far more than we do now, and President Obama on Thursday directed the State Department to take in 10,000 refugees in 2016. As the president reaches the twilight hours of his presidency, it’s good to see him fighting for something that is just until the very end.

Speak up, greek community T
his week, a video of sophomore members in the University of Iowa Alpha Phi sorority chapter was uploaded and quickly went viral. It features a large group of women chanting lyrics ranging from drinking to degrading members of other sororities. Without going into all of the crude specifics, one lyric directs members of another sorority on campus to “shove their flower skirts” somewhere unsavory, blacking out after “chugging,” and other references to sex acts and partying. Additionally, one lyric mentions going to the bars with their “babies,” freshman members of the sorority. The reaction to the video on various social-media outlets has overshadowed the video itself, with buzz and rumors about what the potential consequences for Alpha Phi will be, from a simple reprimand to the chapter getting kicked off campus. However, The Daily Iowan has so far been largely unable to shed more light on what these consequences will be. Every relevant organization has stonewalled us. First, there’s obviously Alpha Phi itself. Calls to the chapter were not returned as of Thursday evening. But other greek bodies have also been silent. The Panhellenic Council, the governing body for traditionally housed sororities, and the UI Center For Student Involvement and Leadership have also not returned our requests for
comment. The only statement we’ve been able to get is from Jeneane Beck, the senior director for news-media relations in the UI Office of Strategic Communication. This is a typical pattern in recent years. It seems the first reaction when these sorts of controversies emerge is to figure out a damage-control strategy before any comment is made or to try to ride out the outrage. If those involved in greek life bemoan their treatment in the media, perhaps they should give the media their side of the story. The Alpha Phi video is distasteful and crude. But in all honesty, seeing these sorts of videos is no longer surprising. Earlier this year, members of the University of Oklahoma’s Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter landed themselves in hot water after a video emerged of a racist chant they yelled on a bus. But it was later revealed that these members learned the lyrics at a national fraternity leadership cruise four years earlier. Evidently, it was passed down through the ranks. A typical criticism of greek life is the “walled-garden” sort of structure that fraternities and sororities are stereotyped as. Until events such as the Alpha Phi video bring the underbelly to the spotlight, those who aren’t involved are left to wonder if this is an example of a group of women that participated in a tasteless chant or indicative of a wider culture in fraternities and sororities. And until more people speak up, we may never know.

An open letter to Bruce Harreld Joe Lane joseph-lane@uiowa.edu
Dear Mr. Harreld, I want to apologize. I want to apologize for the behavior of the select few individuals at your Question and Answer session that treated you with such hostility. Regardless of one’s opinion of your credentials, you deserved more respect than you received in that room. At the University of Iowa, the ideals of open-mindedness and respect are viewed with great regard. The UI you saw in the IMU Second-Floor Ballroom is not the university I know and love. And it is not the university you will know and love. Of course, not every individual in the room treated you with disrespect, and I commend those who came to the microphone with an open mind and, at the very least, outward respect. All that said, you must
understand our collective skepticism about your application and appointment. I am a student in the Tippie College of Business — now ranked the 22nd best public undergraduate business program by U.S. News & World Report. In Tippie, we are taught the overwhelming importance of résumés. In my two semesters since joining the business program, I have already taken three courses requiring the submission of a résumé. The thought of a mistake on my résumé is so unfathomable at this point that the presence of one on yours is terrifying and hard to believe. But this isn’t the only point about which we are cynical. For example, the citation of Wikipedia, you will learn, is not acceptable. But let me be clear; I don’t want to dwell on the little things. The biggest issue associated with your appointment isn’t even your fault. It has to do with the state Board of Regents. The regents claim to have made the process of your hiring open and transparent. Let me ask you, Mr. Harreld, is it a
very open and transparent process if fewer than 2 percent of the nearly 400 responding faculty members found you to be qualified and the regents went ahead and hired you anyway? When looking for a new president, the opinions of the faculty, staff, and students ought to be taken into account. But, of course, this is not your fault, and it may be counterproductive to the purpose of this letter. Most of all, I want you to know that I will be awaiting your presidency with an open mind. I implore all the members of the UI community to do the same. There is, after all, little doubt whether your background will provide unique insight to the workings of our institution. If the community — including faculty, staff, and students — chooses to oppose you from Day 1, the impenetrable gridlock that will ensue will undoubtedly be counterproductive. So while this letter may be addressed to you, I want all who read it to understand your position is a thankless one. If this university were to become
the No. 1 institution on the planet under your administration, do not expect an olive branch from those who doubted you. I will leave you with this clarification of an apparent point of contention. The UI exists to educate. While economic and research impact are crucial to its success, this is first and foremost, an institution of higher education. When you take office, your commitment will certainly be to the faculty, staff, and greater community; but your first commitment is to the students. Last, you mentioned in your Q&A that the customers (in this case the students) do not vote on the products the company makes. From the perspective of a business student, I wholeheartedly and unwaveringly disagree, Mr. Harreld. The customers’ vote is the only one that matters. In business, they vote with their dollars, and in education they vote with their minds. I look forward to your presidency, Mr. Harreld, as I hope the rest of the community will eventually as well.
shout back, “Give the guy a chance. Pull up your britches, refocus your energies, put your pitchforks back in the garage, and let’s get to work to make the university great again.” Signed, the faculty and staff at the UI who want to give J. Bruce Harreld a chance to once again prove that he can turn something good into something great.
that rich people will pay. Their argument fundamentally relies on Marx’s ideal: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.” But what is a “need?” Do college students need to go to an out-of-state, four-year institution? Do they need to attend college right after high school? Neither of these are needs. Students can go to community colleges, learn online, and gain on-the-job experience. When students aren’t held responsible for their decisions, they will act irresponsibly. This is a tragedy of the commons, plain and simple. While I disagree with Marxist theory, I find greater fault in people who use the government to force their personal responsibility onto others. Those who relinquish their responsibility have a nebulous concept of the “other taxpayers” who pay — an inhuman abstraction that doesn’t have hopes, dreams, or a tight budget. No society — capitalist or communist — can survive if citizens don’t take responsibility for their own actions and ideals. Proponents of government-supported tuition can cooperate to privately raise money for scholarships, innovate cheaper alternatives to college, or change our current “culture of credentialism” that makes everyone believe a bachelor’s degree is necessary.

LETTERS TO EDITOR A ‘vote of confidence’ for incoming President J. Bruce Harreld A group of independent university business professionals would like to officially welcome President J. Bruce Harreld to the University of Iowa with an official “Vote of Confidence” in his selection. We understand the financial pressures put on the university as well as prior failures and inefficiencies that have resulted in numerous expensive fixes that may or may not have made any difference in future success. We also understand that some of the world’s greatest leaders may not have been born experts in their field or have CVs that are 150 pages long. Some transformers were simply guides putting together teams that achieved greatness on their own. Many faculty and staff are ready for a dramatic change. We’re ready for a different direction, one that perhaps is bold and innovative. A direction that may result in faculty and staff once again striving to be their best and create a new energy that translates into a greater institution. Bringing success that will trickle down to the very core students and patients that define our very existence. We understand that the overall faculty and student groups have condemned the process and hiring of Harreld. Well to that, we stand up and

Personal responsibilities Actions have consequences. While college students understand that poor-quality essays earn failing grades, many fail to grasp that borrowing money requires repayment. On Sept. 2, an article arguing for government-supported tuition — titled “The ‘deals’ in American education” — ends with the author’s question: “Should I have to pay for these decisions [taking out student loans] 20 years down the line?” My answer is, emphatically, Yes. Proponents of government-supported tuition, such as Bernie Sanders, argue
University as a business In its response to the Faculty Senate’s vote of no confidence, the state Board of Regents accused them of “resisting change” and maintaining “the status quo.”What exactly they mean by “status quo,” they don’t say. But I do: the unsustainable status quo right now is that: a) the undergrads pay way too much in tuition, and b) the grad students who do two-thirds of the teaching are paid way too little. Is this the status quo the regents intend to change? Their recent tuition hikes at ISU and UNI indicate no to a), while their stubborn fight against COGS last year indicates no to b). So let’s be clear here: The regents are not seeking to change the status quo but only new ways to maintain it. It is actually the faculty who are fighting fiercely for change. Look, do you want to run this university like a business? Fine, then let’s put this in the starkest business terms possible: The customers are being overcharged and underserved. If the regents believe that this is the most sustainable model, then we have far larger problems than Bruce Harreld. Jacob Bender

“We made a lot of improvements from our past weekends,” Norlander said. “I thought we were physically better than them today. We proved
A confidence,” senior offensive lineman Julian Vandervelde said. “It’s not cockiness. It’s not, ‘Oh, I’m better than everybody else.’ It’s he knows he’s good enough to do his job as well
as anybody else. So he goes out and does it.” Senior quarterback Ricky Stanzi — who calls No. 9 “Sashcalade” for the white Escalade he drives — describes it as a “swag factor.”
But when trying to digest such plays as Sash’s interception and impromptu lateral that led to a Hyde touchdown in Iowa’s 37-6 win over Michigan State, maybe there’s a simpler
explanation. Maybe it all goes back to his point-guard mentality, his “athletics awareness,” as [Oskaloosa high-school head football coach Darrell] Schumacher called it.
Right place, right time? Think again. “That’s hard — you don’t coach that,” Stanzi said. “… Things like that, they build up, and that’s how you become a playmaker.”
with losses coming at home to an on-the-brinkof-being-ranked Marquette squad and a five-set defeat at Virginia’s tournament last weekend. Coming off a loss, the Cyclones will need to be ready, because the Hawkeyes sure are. “I’m super excited to play inside Carver in front of all the Hawk fans,” junior Lauren Brobst said. “I can’t wait to get out there.” For Brobst in particular, the Iowa-Iowa State rival-
ry has long been central to her life and among her family. “I was raised a huge Hawkeye fan,” Brobst said. “Even though my parents graduated from Iowa State, they were still

Hawkeye fans, and we just grew up hating Iowa State. So we’re really excited to get that win.” A victory over the Cy-
year is perhaps the most talented that Iowa has had since that time, so it’s not out of the question. With an offense led by Brobst
and sophomore Jess Janota and senior blocker Mikaela Gunderson playing well early in the season, the Hawkeyes may just have the weapons to pull off a victory. Gunderson had a car e e r- h i g h 14 kills in last weekend’s victory over American, and though she’s only been a part of the Iowa program for two seasons, she is just as eager to pull off the upset as her Iowa-native teammates.
“It means a lot to me; I was just talking to a senior teammate earlier saying, ‘We have to beat State, this is our last year,” Gunderson said. “It’s our only opportunity to beat them, so we have to get a W.” Iowa will try to avoid a hangover following a potentially huge win, because the Aggies come in at 4-1, with their only loss coming against No. 2 Stanford. If Iowa can beat the Cyclones and follow with another win, let’s just say it would be a monumental weekend for the program.
City, went in Iowa’s favor — as well as the six games that preceded it. B e i n g back at home rather than on the road will allow Iowa extra Kentgen rest and freshman preparation before taking on the Cyclones, Ar-
mand said. One thing the team has continually worked on throughout the season is keeping up the intensity during the whole game, not just the first half. Through watching film of their recent loss, the Hawkeyes have seen what issues they need to work on. “We need to come out stronger in the second half,” redshirt freshman
Jenna Kentgen said. “I feel like we play really, really strong the first half, then the second half the intensity drops a little bit. We just have to be more consistent.” Another thing the team needs to ensure of is controlling Iowa State’s offense, because Hawkeye head coach Dave DiIanni does not believe his team scores well enough to compete
in a game in which the opponent scores more than a few goals. In order to get better and compete in those situations, the second-year head coach has encouraged the Hawkeyes to learn from their mistakes. “Right now, our learning curve just needs to get better and higher,” DiIanni said. “Sometimes, it’s a little two
steps forward, one step back, but we need three steps forward and one back if we’re going to do that.” Iowa will also face Illinois-Chicago this weekend. The game will take place Sept. 13 at the Iowa Soccer Complex.
that we can play with the top five, and we’re ready to take on anyone.” The team will host Kent State on Saturday and St. Louis on Sept. 13. Cellucci wants to focus primarily on executing on penalty corners and continuing to play with toughness the Hawkeyes
did Thursday. “I told the girls it’s going to sting, and they can let it sting tonight, but
as soon as we wake up tomorrow, we have to be thinking Kent State and St. Louis,” Cellucci said.
“We have to move on and learn from it.”

Friday, September 11, 2015 by Eugenia Last
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get together with the people who are able to contribute to your goals. Put your best foot forward, and show off your skills. The impressions you leave will lead to positive changes in the way others treat you. Love is in the stars. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your goal should be to finish what you start. Don’t let a personal matter interfere with your responsibilities. Organization and preparation along with keeping things as simple as possible will help you excel and send a message to anyone who doubts your abilities. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Stick close to home. As soon as you venture out, you will have a tendency to overspend, overdo, or overreact. Cut your losses by focusing on what you can do within the confines of your own space. Romance is a favorable option. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The more you do for yourself and the less you rely on others, the better. Accept the inevitable, and don’t get mixed up in other people’s melodramas. Engage in projects that make good use of your time and bring you satisfaction. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let instability cause you to falter. Believe in your abilities, and trust that everything will turn in your favor. The way you execute your plans will win over even your most difficult skeptic. Personal improvements will boost your confidence. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): An unusual relationship will develop with someone you meet at an event or while socializing. Before you share too much information, consider any ulterior motives that may be behind this person’s interest. Get background information before you proceed. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Participate in events that make you feel useful and bring you satisfaction. A change in position or status due to the contributions you make will pose some questions from friends or family members. Be honest as well as true to your desires. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take precautions when engaging in physical activity. It’s important not to overdo it or to let anger take over if someone competes with you. A positive change at home will come about through an unusual set of circumstances. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will face opposition if you are too bold or self-indulgent. Make personal changes that will add to your appeal or enhance your living situation. Physical exercise will be a good way to blow off steam. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take time to observe what is going on around you. If you take what someone says as fact, you are likely to be disappointed. Stay in control, and do what you do best; you will come out a winner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make changes to your livelihood and to the relationships that you want to nurture. Working from home or finding a way to work alongside someone you love will bring high returns. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Consider what you enjoy doing, and look for a way to turn that passion into an income. Taking pleasure in what you do will ensure that you do a stellar job. Opportunities are within your reach if you consider taking on a partner.

Soccer set for Cyclones Coming off a loss, the Hawkeyes will face the Cyclones today and IllinoisChicago on Sept. 13. By COURTNEY BAUMANN courtney-baumann@uiowa.edu

The Sash Factor By JORDAN GARRETSON The following is taken from former DI Pregame Editor Jordan Garretson’s Nov. 12, 2010, cover story on Tyler Sash. It has been edited to fit this space; you can find the complete story online. Sash, 27, died earlier this week in Oskaloosa, Iowa. During Saturday’s Iowa-Iowa State game, the Hawkeyes will wear a special helmet bearing Sash’s No.9 in place of one of the Tigerhawks. Tyler Sash reels off the names of some of his favorite NFL safeties. Former Hawkeyes Bob Sanders and Sean Considine are among those who come up, along with Pro Bowlers Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed. It’s difficult to narrow the list down to just one. “There are so many different types of safeties.” What type is he? “I don’t know,” he answers. “I’m just trying to fit in. I’m just trying to play the best football I can.” He goes on with a grin: “That’s for [the media] to decide what I am.” But what Sash won’t say, his teammates will. “He’s a playmaker,” sophomore cornerback Micah Hyde said. “He’s Tyler Sash. Everybody knows about Tyler Sash.” The junior safety’s 13 career interceptions rank fifth alltime in Iowa history, and his 392 career interception-return yards is the fourth-highest total in Big Ten history. This season, Sash has recorded 2 interceptions and 54 tackles [Sash finished that year with 79], and he is one of 10 semifinalists for the Jim Thorpe award, which is given annually to the nation’s top defensive back.
The Oskaloosa native has started 30-consecutive games [he finished with 34] at strong safety, but he put his uncanny athletic instincts to use long before becoming a Hawkeye.
Right place, right time Sash always seems to be around the football. It has happened so frequently — see his 3-interception performance at Iowa State in 2009 as an example. And it has happened in strange fashion — see his pinball-esque game-changing interception last season against Indiana — that many people have simply labeled him as “lucky.” Teammates sometimes give him a hard time, but they there’s a reason Sash is usually in the right place at the right time. “When it comes down to it, he’s making those plays. He’s there. He’s in the position. And that comes from watching film,” Hyde said. “He’s a smart football player.” Sash credits that work ethic to his upbringing. He long tagged along to play sports with older brother Josh and older sister Megan. Their way of “bullying” little brother was to compete with him and push him to become better in everything he did, he said. “My dad instilled that in me,” Sash said. “You’re not going to get anything unless you work hard for it. Nothing’s ever going to be handed to you. You have to earn everything you do.” But other Hawkeyes say Sash’s best quality may be someSEE SASH, 5

Field hockey loses in last second The Hawkeyes fall to No. 5 Stanford in a heartbreaker. By MARIO WILLIAMS mario-williams@uiowa.edu
There was no time left on the clock at Grant Field on Thursday, and all eyes were on the Stanford field-hockey team as it was about to attempt its fifth penalty corner of the game. The crowd was silent, the ball went into the circle, and Stanford sophomore Marissa Cicione fired a shot into the goal for the victory, 3-2. A few of the Hawkeyes threw their hands in the air, and the athletes from the Cardinal bench stormed the field. “It was just disappointing the way the game ended,” head coach Lisa Cellucci said. “We have to find a way in the end when we dominate the statistics to finish the game and to manage the game in the final seconds. “It’s frustrating when you dominate the statistics.” As Cellucci said, the Hawkeyes did dominate the stat sheet, but missed opportunities on penalty corners were the name of the game. “Penalty corners are a necessary part of the game,” Cellucci said. “Their flier was very fast, and we played into it too many times. We needed to speed up the trap and the hit. That would’ve really helped us.” The Hawkeyes took 17 shots and earned 11 penalty
The Hawkeye football players will not be the only ones trying to Beat State this weekend. The Iowa soccer team will also take on Iowa State in the Cy-Hawk Series tonight at the Iowa Soccer Complex. Coming off of their first loss of the season Sept. 4 to Montana, the Hawkeyes look forward to the instate rivalry. The loss is not something that sits well with the team. Junior transfer Rachele Armand said losing was “devastating” because the Hawkeyes believe the match should have Armand gone in their favor. junior Over the years, Iowa State has become regular competition for the Hawkeyes. The teams have faced one another 17 times; Iowa leads the series 9-6-2, but the Cyclones won the last time the two squared off, in 2014. With that, the competition is bound to be fierce. “It’s going to be a battle,” Armand said. “They’ve been doing really well in their season, so it will definitely test us and see where we are right now.” Iowa State holds a 4-2 record so far this season. The Cyclones’ first loss was to Long Beach State, now ranked No. 23 in the coaches’ poll. Their other loss came in overtime to Colorado. They do, however, have an impressive 1-0 win over Pepperdine, SEE SOCCER, 5

Junior Chandler Ackers contributed with the assist. However, it wasn’t such a rough go for the No. 15 ranked Hawkeyes, as they kept up with an offensive powerhouse. The Hawks held the fifthranked program in the country to just 9 shots and allowed the team 5 penalty corners. They implemented their plans of using outlet passes and
making wise decisions. “The changes that we made, it was great to see,” Cellucci said. “We were listening, and we were attempting to make changes.” The Hawks’ second goal of the afternoon came from junior Stephanie Norlander. The native of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, fired it in the goal when Ackers found her down the field. “It was awesome,” Ackers said. “I looked up, saw her cutting, she put her back hand
out, and I was like, ‘Oh, I got to hit her that ball.’ She put it in, and I was so glad she did.” The loss against Stanford should be a confidence-booster for the Hawkeyes heading into the remainder of the season. Their 17 shot attempts were the highest the team has made in a game so far. And to put those numbers up against the Cardinal is a plus. SEE FIELD HOCKEY, 5
