More than 125 climate-change activists marched on the streets of Iowa City Sunday, demanding that local leaders take action to fight the perceived effects of climate change. The march was in support of the much larger People’s Climate March in New York City, which also took place on Sunday and had tens of thousands of people in attendance, according to the Associated Press. The People’s Climate March happened a few days before the U.N. Climate Summit, which will be held on Tuesday.

Thump, thump, thump. The beat of a mellifluous melody dances its way around the Old Capitol area. The smell of freshly cooked food of several varieties sifts through the air, drawing in wanderers from around downtown. The ambiance throughout is sweet and smooth,
invoking an infectious feeling of soulful bliss to all in attendance. This was the scene around the Pentacrest on Sept. 19 and 20 during the second Iowa Soul Festival. A celebration of African and African-American music, dance, art, and food, the festival was a collaboration between Iowa City’s Summer of the Arts and Cedar Rapid’s Diversity Focus.

The board of directors for the event also consisted of UI medical students. “[We are] hoping and expecting to have raised over $60,000 in our first year,” Beckert said. “We’re pretty excited about it.” The organizers also hosted a tailgate in Kinnick’s parking lot with live music, free food, and vendor tents. The racers, their families, and friends congregated in the parking lot to eat and watch the Iowa/Pitt football game. “We had a free post-race tailgate [of] hot dogs and bananas,” Beckert said.

CORRECTION In the Sept. 19 article “Environmentally safe housing project discussed at meeting,” The Daily Iowan incorrectly reported the amount of land the Iowa City Cohousing Project is asking for. If the proposal passes through the Planning and Zoning Commission, the project will have less land than before because of a land trade. The DI regrets the error.

Universities and communities throughout the Midwest are working toward harnessing the energy and creativity in university towns, and a conference hosted by the University of Iowa discussed methods to do so. The UI invited community and business leaders from Iowa City as well as East Lansing, Michigan, and Lincoln, Nebraska — two other Midwest college towns — to attend the Midwest Creative College Town Conference on Sept. 20. The conference was hosted by the UI School of Urban and Regional Planning to commemorate its 50th anniversary. “We wanted to do something to celebrate our anniversary that just wasn’t about bringing alumni back and talking about the good old days,” said Charles Connerly, the director of the school and organizer of the event. “We wanted to do something that told the public the importance of planning, the importance of place making.” Connerly said with university and community support, the initial steps of planning the conference were easy, but the biggest hurdle was cold-calling people from all over the Mid-
west and persuading them to take time out of their 40-hour-plus workweek to attend. The conference was held as a series of panel discussions with leaders and entrepreneurs from the three Midwest college towns discussing how organizations in their communities were helping to harness the spirit and energy of their communities, foster entrepreneurship and innovation, as well as boost economic growth. “A lot of job and business growth comes from the entrepreneurial community, and it’s really important to be able to support that for wealth [and] job creation,” said Christina Bartels, director of innovation and entrepreneurship for the Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development in Nebraska. Bartels said she works to connect start-ups and existing businesses in the form of meet-ups, conferences, business accelerators or co-working spaces so they can create new products and partnerships. However, she said, she sees her role as more of a supporter and not a leader. “It’s difficult for the government, the city, or the chamber to lead these efforts, because the entrepreneurs themselves are the ones that need to be on
the forefront to make it happen for reasons of trust, or because they’re the ones out there building and doing,” she said. Eric Hanson, communications director of the Iowa City Area Development Group, said he believes one of the issues halting entrepreneurial development in communities is the unknown element that comes along with something new. “I think one of the roadblocks is that there’s not a model for it,” he said. “So companies or organizations like a state and community could just be afraid of the ‘Well, if we do this untested, we don’t know the risk and reward’ versus ‘We’ve done this pattern many times, and we at least know it works.’ ” Andy Stoll, co-founder of Seed Here Studio, an Iowa City company dedicated to cultivating a community in which start-ups can thrive, said cities and governments are not the only ones to have difficulty with entrepreneurship. “The best help for an entrepreneur is another entrepreneur,” he said. “They often think they have to go into their basement and plug away, when what they actually need to do is connect with other entrepreneurs and the other resources in their community.”

Ho-hum in London Matthew Byrd matthew-e-byrd@uiowa.edu
Byrd is studying abroad at the University of Westminster in London. For the capital of a political entity on the verge of potential amputation, London was quite calm on the evening of Sept. 18. Not calm in the way Iowa City is at around 3 in the morning as Sunday turns to Monday, when the last buses from Chicago and Omaha roll in, unleashing bleary-eyed student travelers returning to their dorms through dead streets. But more akin to Iowa City on a Saturday night, with all the debauchery, packed-like-sardines Cambuses, excessive cologne and perfume, and vomit that entails. Yet, naïvely in hindsight, I was expecting something a bit less than “calm,” considering that on this night the people of Scotland, which occupies a third of the island of Great Britain and is one of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom (along with England, Wales, and Northern Ireland) would vote, in record turnout, on a referendum deciding whether they should remain in union with their three neighbors or break away and become the world’s 197th sovereign state. Needless to say, the possibility of a 306-year-old marriage being annulled overnight seemed like something that would shake up any place involved, especially London, the demographic and cultural heart of the UK. So, I was planning on visiting Rob Roy, a pub that Yelp had informed me was a go-to spot for Scottish soccer matches, where I assumed some London Scots would assemble to watch the election results trickle in. Thought I’d probe some of them about their feelings towards the possibility of having to enter a second country the next time they stepped foot in their hometown, perhaps even enjoy a McEwan or two. Afterwards, I planned on heading to Trafalgar Square, the main public square in Central London that had played host to an anti-independence rally a few days before, see if I could
catch any action, perhaps an unplanned gathering related to the referendum in some way, shape, or form. What I was expecting, I’m still not really sure. When I got there, the supposed front door of the Rob Roy had been boarded up with a flat piece of wood that, considering the age of the wood, seemed to have been placed there since before there was even a United Kingdom to break up. The windows were similarly blocked and the sign above the door seemed to have suffered more neglect than most of us would wish on our worst enemies. So I decided to just head to Trafalgar Square. The first thing that hit me, and I suspect hits most newcomers, when I exited the tube was the sheer size of Nelson’s Column, the 169-foot pillar that stands at the forefront of the Square, at the top of which rests a heroic-looking statue of Admiral Horation Nelson, the British admiral who died beating back Napoleon’s fleet at Cape Trafalgar, Spain. My eyes came down from the triumphant sandstone Nelson to the rest of the square, which was filled with: nothing. A couple of college students sitting at the base of the column, smoking e-cigs, some tourists taking pictures near the square’s fountains, and a whole lot of pigeons looking for scraps left by London’s litter-happy population. Looking at the square, you couldn’t have deciphered whether it was the night the union Nelson had died for was at stake or whether it was just some Thursday in god-knows-what year because who-the-hell cares. Disappointed I flipped some of my (now useless) American dimes in the fountain for good luck on future endeavors, went home, cooked some popcorn, and went to bed. In the morning, I awoke to the news that Scotland, 55 percent to 44 percent with an 84 percent turnout, voted to remain in the United Kingdom. I went back down to Trafalgar Square, passing newsstands with headlines that couldn’t get enough of referendum analysis, and found the same sight as I had the night before except with fewer e-cig smoking peers and more pigeons. Maybe things’ll be more exciting when Northern Ireland inevitably gets to decide its future in the UK. It certainly couldn’t be any more boring than Scotland’s turn.

Who won gubernatorial debate? The candidates for governor of Iowa faced off on Sept. 20 in Burlington, and the tone of the debate quickly turned confrontational. Who made their case better? The Daily Iowan staff weighs in. Branstad held his ground
“You stop lying about me, and I’ll stop telling the truth about you,” said Sen. Jack Hatch, D-Des Moines, as he quoted former President Ronald Reagan in the gubernatorial debate against incumbent Gov. Terry Branstad. Through claps and cheers, Hatch no doubt felt satisfied as he used the line he seemed to have waiting in his back pocket, along with other one-liners, since long before the debate began. Hatch, however, spent a large portion of the night attacking Branstad on his actions as governor and less time arguing in favor of his own policies. While Branstad did his fair share of finger-pointing, it seemed that with the distinction of “Iowa’s longest serving governor” on his résumé, Branstad was free to all but dismiss Hatch’s accusations and point to the success he has had as governor thus far and to programs he plans to implement and continue in the future. Hatch made sure to use buzzwords and phrases such as “an explosion of economic opportunity” and “[building] the economy from the community up, not the top down” in an apparent attempt to get Iowa citizens, as opposed to corporations, excited about his campaign. The only thing missing from some of Hatch’s statements, it seemed, was a Twitter hashtag. But outside of pointing to Branstad’s shortcomings and making these blanket statements, Hatch did little to express what he specifically planned to do as governor. Branstad, on the other hand, pointed to his goals of increasing not just jobs in Iowa but “good jobs,” with a focus on improving both economic stability and workforce development. Moreover, he maintained his focus on improving education and keeping the cost of in-state tuition low. When Hatch challenged Branstad, saying that many of the jobs created by the Iowa Fertilization Plant went to out-of-town workers, he reinforced Branstad’s position. This challenge set the governor up brilliantly to explain that the reason some of the jobs did not belong to Iowans was because there was a lack of a skilled workforce, which Branstad tied to his desire to increase workforce development and improve education. Furthermore, Branstad pointed to the economic development that the jobs provided for Iowa regardless of to whom they went. Although Hatch made some good points throughout the debate, many revolved around the alleged missteps of the Branstad administration and did not point to solutions. While Branstad focused on the future and improving the programs he had already created, Hatch primarily focused on Branstad’s past.
— Joe Lane
Branstad took a beating
The second governor’s debate had the Republican incumbent Terry Branstad squaring off with the Democratic challenger, Sen. Jack Hatch. The topics of this debate were the economy, jobs, and infrastructure, with both candidates reinforcing the priorities of their plan. As indicated by recent Quinnipiac University polls, Branstad has a solid lead in the race, making Hatch’s primary goal to shift public opinion on the current governor. From the very beginning of the debate the tone quickly shifted to a pugilistic, “he said, she said” banter between the two, with Hatch very clearly out for blood. Branstad did his best to counter the onslaught of accusations and criticisms from Hatch but ultimately could do little more than hide behind his reputation and shaky statistics. Given that he was a bit of an underdog going into this debate, it was clear that Hatch needed to make voters distrustful of Branstad as a person and a politician. Throughout the debate, Hatch focused on painting the incumbent governor as a morally questionable politician who cared more about corporations than he did people. Hatch’s offensive was relentless and ranged from listing the various lawsuits being brought up against Branstad to dismembering any and all statistics or figures used by the governor to describe his progress. Branstad made an effort to rely on his policies and plans alone, but playing solely defense may have harmed his credibility overall. Branstad rarely offered any impressive rebuttals and instead used any opportunity he could to remind people he was in fact born and raised in Iowa or that he was not nearly as bad as the governors of Illinois. At one point when discussing the veracity of claims made in his campaign ads Hatch told Branstad to “stop lying about me, and I’ll stop telling the truth about you” quoting former President Reagan. The use of this quote sums up Hatch’s strategy in the debate, which consisted more of branding Branstad’s supposed dishonesty into the minds of the voters instead of relying solely on the strength of his own platform. While it did come off as overbearing at times, Hatch did a great job of positioning himself as a man of the people, and it is hard to blame him for playing to win when the odds are against him. Branstad may be able to stand on the strength of his past merits in this election, but pound for pound, he certainly took a beating from Hatch in this debate.

GUEST COLUMN
EPB situation harms learning I am writing in response to the recent article published in The Daily Iowan about the mold in the English-Philosophy Building. As one of the evicted persons, I have some clarifying points I would like to very respectfully express to the university at large — especially to those in charge of Facilities Management and to those in positions of administrative power. The EPB situation has resulted in the displacement of university-employed graduate students, compromised learning for both graduate students and undergraduate students, and continues to pose health concerns to all who pass through the EPB. Approximately 55 graduate students, all of whom are instructors and employees of the university, have been displaced. Many graduate instructors were given fewer than 48 hours to evacuate
their offices, which housed confidential student records, learning resources, computers, and printers. Our department heads, administrative staff, and professors have been tremendously helpful and supportive. They have offered to share offices with us and have even helped us move. Despite the support we have received, the move has been very difficult. The move has also occurred very close to the English Department’s Qualification Exam, which graduate students have been preparing for. The move, in itself, has compromised the health and learning environment of graduate students. Graduate instructors have been granted a space in Seashore Hall. Seashore is not a safe building, either. As cited in a Sept. 10 article in the Press-Citizen, “Rod Lehnertz, UI director of planning and construction, said ma-
ny of the original spaces are now vacant and unusable for various reasons including safety regulations.” In addition to safety concerns, the move to Seashore Hall has compromised undergraduate student learning. Our undergraduate students, who have classes in EPB, are now reluctant to attend office hours because of the distance. Seashore is more than a half a mile from the EPB. In order to allow for more accessibility to office hours, many graduate instructors are holding office hours in more convenient locations for their student—such as the Library Commons. However, spaces such as these can be noisy and prohibit instructors from speaking privately with students about learning concerns. Graduate instructors are invested in their pedagogy and perform their job duties with integrity. This move has prohibited graduate
instructors from doing their jobs in ways that best facilitate positive student outcomes. This has been troubling, as student outcomes are a main priority. Finally, there are questions about the safety of the EPB for university employees and students who remain there. It appears that the right to a safe environment that facilitates a positive learning experience is not included in the university’s Bill of Student Rights. It seems that a positive and healthy student learning environment should be a key priority for the university. The university should also take measures to ensure that employee workplaces are safe, healthy, and conductive to scholarship.

Local courthouse-annex plans take shape By RACHEL GREEN rachel-green@uiowa.edu
With the final courthouse annex designs configured, the Johnson County Board of Supervisors held public forums to discuss the changes from the original plan. During their third meeting, which was held in Iowa City on Sept 20, the members discussed the new plan to build the annex underground. The original Johnson County Courthouse was built in 1901, and Supervisor Janelle Rettig said it was time for a change with the building. “Our courthouse was built for a different time,” she said. As the population of the county grows, more court cases occur, and space is needed for more attorneys to work. Additional space
SOUL FEST CONTINUED FROM FRONT such as the FunkDaddies, Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, and Lalah Hathaway. Grammy-Award-winning performer and University of Iowa alumnus Al Jarreau headlined the night of Sept. 20. Jarreau, 74, has been performing jazz, pop, soul, and funk music since the

CLIMATE CONTINUED FROM FRONT Social Responsibility, organized and participated in the local event. Maureen McCue, a coordinator from Physicians for Social Responsibility in Iowa City, said the protesters marching in New York were doing so to tell “world leaders it’s time to step and take real action.” “And what we know [is] that while it’s important that world leaders, national leaders create the environment and the policies that will help to halt climate change, it can be done also at very local levels,” she said. “Cities can do things, universities can do things, counties can do things, states can do things, we can all do things at all levels.” On Tuesday, the U.N. Climate Summit will be held at the U.N. headquarters, with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon hosting. “… We’re taking action, and we expect them to as well,” said Whit Jones, campaign director for the Energy and Action Coalition, a non profit group composed of more than 30 youth-oriented environmental groups across the nation. The organizers of the People’s Climate March wanted the event to catch the attention of the world leaders attending the Climate Summit. Jones said the main march in New York City was a collaboration of more than 1,500 endorsing organizations, from environmental groups to labor unions. “The People’s Climate March is going to demonstrate that hundreds of thousands of people care about this issue of climate change and that we’re not waiting to take action,”
is also needed for meeting rooms, jury deliberation rooms, and interview rooms. “We currently have two attorneys in a small closet,” County Attorney Janet Lyness said. “We tried to hire another attorney but had no space for him. We tried to put him into another closet, but that was maintenances-only closet.” The original solution was for a courthouse annex to be built along Harrison Street, disconnected from the original courthouse. The two buildings would have been connected by a walkway. Now, a proposal to add a 69,167-square-foot annex to the current courthouse will appear on the Johnson County ballot on Nov. 14. It will focus instead on a partially underground addition, located immediately west of the courthouse, with an entrance
on the south side of the original building. According to the bond referendum, the cost of the annex will be $33.4 million or less. For the proposal to go through and move on from the conceptual stage, a supermajority vote of at least 60 percent is needed on Nov. 4. The underground annex will contain three floors. The bottom floor, not accessible to the public, would be used to bring inmates in for their hearings through two ports in the side of the building. While there are temporary inmate holding areas on each floor, there is no official jail located on the premises. There will also be storage and mechanical areas on the bottom floor. The second and third floors would contain courtrooms, offices, jury deliberation rooms, conference
rooms, a law library, media rooms, restrooms, and mechanical areas. An atrium would be included in the proposed annex and would incorporate a view of the old courthouse through a glass portion of the roof. The roof would also provide natural light. Lyness said because the courthouse kept most of its original architecture, putting in newer security technology is almost impossible to install. Security measures that will be added include separate hallways for moving inmates, metal detection equipment at the entrance, and a fire-suppression system. Rettig said that if necessary in the future, there is the option to build onto the annex on the county-owned corner of Capitol and Harrison streets. Supervisor John Ether-
edge said many residents of the county support the proposal but still have some concerns. “People in this area are conscientious of their taxes,” he said. “They agree that we need it, but wonder why it has to cost $33.4 million.” Lyness said she has heard complaints that those who work in the
courthouse should try other solutions before adding on to the building. “A misconception is that we should just have evening and night hours, but the county does not have jurisdiction over that,” she said. “Even if we could, a huge part of the judicial budget is staff, and night hours would increase that price.”
1960s, and his Soul Fest performance proved the Wisconsin-born musician doesn’t plan to slow down soon. “In a world where having a career and a life in this industry depends so much on being under 25 and cute and getting the girl to be successful, it means a lot,” Jarreau said about being invited to perform at Soul Fest. “I’m not retired, and I’m not gonna retire.”
Jarreau and his band banged out tune after tune, including old favorites such as “Boogie Down” and “My Old Friend,” a song off his new album and a tribute to his late friend George Duke. A vocal solo by Jarreau’s bassist Mark Simmons generated some of the loudest applause of the festival. UI freshman Abigail Morrow said Jarreau’s performance was her favorite part of the event.
“I really did enjoy the Soul Festival,” she said. “The music was fantastic, with everyone really getting into it and even dancing in the street. The food smelled good, and it seemed like most of Iowa City turned out for my first concert on the Pentacrest.” Barnes gave a similar review of the headlining show. “I thoroughly enjoyed Al Jarreau,” she said. “It was
an amazing opportunity to have Hancher bring him back to Iowa City.” The patrons lining up for food on Clinton Street, shopping at the African Marketplace, and listening to music on the Pentacrest Main Stage were diverse, representing a range of ages and ethnic backgrounds. The Gospel Brunch events at the Sheraton Iowa City Hotel Sunday attracted yet more crowds and added
another musical genre to an already eclectic festival repertoire. “I talked to a number of people who came in for the festival and the Gospel Brunch who had a wonderful time,” Barnes said. “I already have people asking about next year and what the plans are.”
ships and hosts a summer football camp for Iowa youths. “Health goes across a lot of different spectrums,” said Dwight, a former Hawkeye and NFL football player from Iowa City. “Not just trying to fix some kid that’s sick.”
With 75 percent of the money from his foundation going to research, the remaining 25 percent goes to benefit patients’ experiences. “We’re trying to bring value to the kids who are in the hospital for weeks, days, or months,” Dwight said.
Dwight said the proceeds from his foundation also go toward studies related to brain-stem cancer. Dwight ran alongside people of all ages, including former Hawkeye Nick Holmes. Holmes, an employee at Running Wild, one of the event’s sponsors, won the
race in a time of 15:01. Holmes ran track and cross-country for the university from 2008 to 2012. “This is a spectacular event,” he said. “[It has] a lot of people [and is] a good cause. It’s definitely a thing you have to do. Plus you get the chance
to finish on Kinnick.” As the race concluded, the field was energized by all of the runners. “It’s a great opportunity for fundraising,” race announcer Mike Pettis said. “They’re two great organizations that do a lot of great work here in the Iowa City area.”
Jones said. In Iowa City, marchers met on the Pedestrian Mall, in front of the office of Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa. Some people marching were carrying signs with phrases on them that read, “There is no planet B” or “Fund solutions, not pollution.” Another person was handing out slips of paper with lyrics written on them.
When the lyrics were all passed out, a guitar player led the marchers in song, singing of how “we need to build a better future, and we need to start right now.” Afterwards, one of the organizers stood on a bench on the Ped Mall with a megaphone, to call on Loebsack, D-Iowa, to continue his commitment to the climate and the en-
vironment. A marcher then hammered a sign into the ground in front of Loebsack’s office, with a list of demands for him. “This is not something that he can put down at the bottom of his list, but has to be way at the top of his list and at the top of everybody’s list right now,” said Barbara Schlachter, a
member of the leadership team of the Iowa City Climate Advocates. The group marched to the Johnson County Administration Offices and Jessup Hall, where University of Iowa President Sally Mason’s office is located. They continued to City Hall, then headed back to the Pedestrian Mall. As they crossed from
street to street, people held up signs in front of the cars at the stoplights that read “This corporate capitalism is killing our planet,” while others held up flags with a picture of the planet Earth on it. “We may not be in New York, but we’re going to count,” Schlacter said.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your ability to embrace change and turn
whatever is going on to your advantage will lead to a new beginning. Offers made may cause uncertainty at first, but once you weigh the pros and cons, you will know exactly how to react. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t count on others to do things for you. Let your past performance speak for you. Make changes based on experience, fair play, and an opportunity to move in a direction that promises prosperity and satisfaction. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Stand tall, and refuse to let what others say or do bother you. Anger never solves anything, but working toward your goals does. Prepare to make the changes that will make you feel more at ease personally and professionally. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make positive changes to your environment and do what you can to cut your overhead. Not everyone will like or approve of the changes you implement, but you have to do whatever works for you and eases your stress. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Jumping from one thing to another will make those around you nervous. The ease at which you carry out your plans will help you gain respect. Be wary of someone who might be secretly trying to take advantage of your stamina. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will face opposition and are best to deal with it in a positive, patient and practical manner. Getting angry will not solve anything and will probably lead to lies, deception, and disillusionment. Work on self-improvement, not trying to change others. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Legal, financial, or medical matters should be dealt with personally. Do not let anyone handle matters that can have an effect on your future. Do what you can to protect your home and your family’s interests. Get your facts straight. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take a position, follow through with your belief, and you will achieve great satisfaction from lending a helping hand. Keep a close watch on authoritative institutions, agencies, or people to ensure you aren’t being cheated or manipulated. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Follow through with your plans, but don’t feel the need to take on someone else’s chores or demands. Emotional blackmail is apparent and must be kept in perspective to avoid being taken for granted. Use your head and do what’s best for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Avoid being impulsive when engaging in chatter with friends, relatives, or peers. You are best to focus on personal and financial self-improvements that will lead to a better lifestyle or environment. Protect your assets, possessions, and your reputation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A financial change is heading your way. You can make career moves that will improve your status quo and lead to greater opportunities down the road. Open up to business or personal partners and you will get the go-ahead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep life simple, and avoid engaging in disagreements or risky emotional, physical, or financial situations. Listen carefully to what others say and offer. There will be underlying motives that you are best to address before you make a decision.

Lewis leads harriers
Kevin Lewis was the Iowa men’s cross-country team’s top finisher at the Big Ten Preview.
Hawkeye harriers vow to bounce back Iowa’s women’s cross-country team didn’t capitalize on pack running at the Big Ten Preview.
By MARIO WILLIAMS mario-williams@uiowa.edu
The Iowa’s men’s cross-country squad had yet another strong showing at the Big Ten Preview with four runners finishing in the top 15. As a team, the Hawkeyes finished second, led by Kevin Lewis. This is the second time the senior has led his team to a strong finish. Lewis finished with a time of 24:44 to earn third place. The senior believes he ran well but wanted his outcome to be better. “I felt pretty good until 1,000 meters to go, but then I fizzled out a little bit," Lewis said in a release. "My goal was to win, which didn’t happen. Hopefully, I can get them next time." Sophomores Ben Anderson, Anthony Gregorio, and senior Ben Witt earned places in the top 15. Anderson finished in eighth place with a time of 25:17.52, Gregorio finished in 12th place at 25:21, and Witt finished in 11th place at 25:17.81. Iowa head coach Layne Anderson thought his runners performed well and was pleased with their efforts. However, he found the Ashton Cross-Country Course to be a bit challenging, citing the early start time and high humidity level. “We did a good job of packing up,” Anderson said. “The course and weather today was a little bit more challenging than last week.” Anderson also believes the Big Ten Preview prepped his team well for the Big Ten championship in November,

Sophomore Ben Anderson thought the Big Ten Preview was enjoyable, along with being in the top 15. Although he said it was a tough week of practice, he believed he ran better than he expected at 8,000 meters. “Being top 15 is cool,” he said. “I guess summer work just keeps showing itself, and hopefully, the workouts we’ve been doing keep progressing. “I enjoyed the race, and it’s always fun to get out there. It’s a tough week, and I ran a lot better than I thought I would at a higher mileage.” The sophomore believes the preview has prepared him for the Big Ten championships as well. “It got me used to the course and to set a time standard to run better at the Big Ten champion-

Although the sophomore felt a bit disappointed with his personal effort, he thought overall his teammates ran well together. “Yesterday was personally disappointing,” he said. “I was much farther back from our main pack than I should have been, though as a whole, our team performed very well.” The Naperville, Illinois, native also believed the preview was a good prep for the Big Ten championships. “The meet was a good sense of the course and how it will run come November,” he said.

10 SPORTS Field hockey tops Rutgers The Iowa field-hockey team opened its Big Ten slate with a win Sunday, topping conference newcomer Rutgers, 3-0, in Piscataway, New Jersey. The win moves the Black and Gold to 5-2 on the season, as well as 1-0 in the Big Ten. Junior Natalie Cafone continued scoring at will, adding 2 more tallies to bring to her season total to 11. The Hawkeyes got up on the Scarlet Knights early, with Cafone giving the Hawks a 1-0 advantage just three and a half minutes into the game. Rutgers fought back, however, playing the Black and Gold tight throughout the final 30 minutes of the first period. The Hawks went into halftime up 1-0. Cafone extended the Hawks’ lead to 2 goals midway through the second period after credit for the goal was changed from Jessy Silfer to her. Senior Sara Watro added the final nail in the coffin for Rutgers, icing the game with 13 minutes left. The goal was Watro’s second of the season. The game was also Iowa goaltender Alex Pecora’s first shutout of the season as well as her fifth win.

ticing and mysterious. His ceiling remains unknown, which is perhaps why the fans clamor for him. His arm strength and quick release are skills you can’t teach, which meant it was a matter of learning to control them. He said after the game he’s been working on better decision making rather than just “chucking it in the air and seeing what will happen.” That maturity manifested on the field against Pittsburgh. The only glaring setback came when Beathard used two time-outs in a little over 30 seconds in the fourth quarter because he appeared confused either about the play or because of what the defense was showing. But learning to adjust at the line of scrimmage comes with experience. Beathard got his first real taste of live action this past weekend and proved he might have a bigger upside than previously thought. The only way Ferentz will truly know what he has in Beathard is if he plays him more, and a good place to begin is in West Lafayette on Saturday, where Beathard

What you and I saw from Beathard against the Panthers was both refreshing and, to a degree, surprising. On his first pass, a third-and-3 from Iowa’s 13-yard line, Beathard stood in the pocket amid pressure and delivered a great pass to Kevonte Martin-Manley for a first down — and took a pretty good hit afterwards, too. And then there was the 62-yard bomb to Damond Powell, the one that made the top 10 on “SportsCenter” and caused Twitter to explode. Powell cracked the highlights with his one-handed catch, but Beathard put the pass right on the money. Look, starting quarterback Jake Rudock hasn’t done anything to lose his job. He won eight games last year and was largely the reason Iowa won its first two games this season. But after seeing Rudock play 16 and ½ games in an Iowa uniform, it’s hard to say he offers a skill set that’s better than Beathard’s. Beathard’s talents have always been en-

COMMENTARY
The Hawkeye defense overcame an atrocious first half and performed extremely well in the second half in a 24-20 win over Pittsburgh.
Backup quarterback C.J. Beathard played really well against Pittsburgh — and he should start Iowa’s next game against Purdue.
By CODY GOODWIN cody-goodwin@uiowa.edu
PITTSBURGH — Greg Mabin called his mother to help calm his nerves ahead of his first career start at Iowa. Arlette Mabin told her son that getting the start against Northern Iowa was a dream come true, of sorts. He flourished the next day and sealed the win with a fourth-quarter interception. On Sept. 20, when Iowa came back to beat Pittsburgh, 24-20, Mabin again remembered what his parents previously told him. This time, though, it was his father’s words that came to mind. “He always told me, ‘Big-time players make big plays in big situations,’ ” Mabin said. “And I was fortunate enough to make that play.”
Mabin said “play” as though it were just one. The sophomore cornerback actually broke up two crucial passes — on back-to-back plays — in the fourth quarter to help secure an Iowa victory at Heinz Field. Those pass breakups were the exclamation points on a second half that saw Iowa’s defense stymie Pittsburgh’s offense. It appeared as though Pitt would trample Iowa early in the game. The Panthers’ offense racked up 262 yards in the first half against the Hawkeyes and did so with a balanced attack: 132 rushing yards and another 130 passing. Pittsburgh led 17-7 at halftime. The Panther’s star running back, James Conner, did most of his damage in the first half. He rushed for 100 yards on just 17
carries. His lone score punctuated an 18-play, 75-yard march that chewed up 9 minutes and 42 seconds of game time. Then, as if it flipped a switch, Iowa’s defense stepped up in the second half. “We were getting worked that first half, and our staff had to make adjustments,” Hawkeye head coach Kirk Ferentz said. “Our players were a lot more aggressive in the second half and were just playing better fooball.” The Panthers managed just 173 yards and a field goal in the game’s final 30 minutes. Conner rushed for only 55 more yards in the second half. Pittsburgh only reached the red zone once more after getting inside Iowa’s SEE FEATURE, 10

PITTSBURGH — Let’s hold off on the coronation for a moment. Let’s take a step back, take a deep breath, and figure out what we’re really dealing with here. Brash decisions aren’t always smart in college football, so let’s talk this one out. Backup quarterback C.J. Beathard played the entire second half of Iowa’s 24-20 victory over Pittsburgh in Heinz Field on Sept. 20. He played well, completing 7-of-8 passes for 98 yards. He engineered
three-consecutive scoring drives, and provided a spark to an otherwise stale Hawkeye offense. “C.J. came out and played an unbelievable game,” running back Mark Weisman said. “He made some huge plays for us.” Beathard was not the sole reason Iowa came back to beat Pittsburgh, of course. The Hawkeyes stepped up defensively and contained James Conner, the Panther’s lethal running back, in the second half. Weisman ran hard and likely established himself as Iowa’s featured back for the rest of the season. But Beathard, just a sophomore, played a huge role in the victory. He was poised. He made good, smart passes, delivering the ball with a certain zip at times. He
commanded the huddle as if he’d been calling the shots all season. And for his performance, he should be named Iowa’s starter for Saturday’s game against Purdue. “I have no idea,” he said when asked if he should start. “You’ll have to ask Coach about that.” This is not to say Beathard is the new hero of the Black and Gold kingdom. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz shouldn’t just hand him the keys to the offense after one solid half of football. Instead, Ferentz should let Beathard test drive it. Let him take it for a spin. A solid half of football is nice, but most of us — coaches included, I’m sure — are really interested in seeing what Beathard can do as the guy for a full game. SEE COMMENTARY, 10
