O’Malley wows observers at debate By QUENTIN MISIAG quentin-misiag@uiowa.edu
DES MOINES — Martin O’Malley finally delivered a “long-necessary breakout” performance Nov. 14 that was complete with rolling punches at Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton and a bold offensive strategy, Iowa political observers and Democratic organizers say. “Strategically, he had the best performance of the night,” said John Deeth, a Democratic activist and blogger from Iowa City. “He’s out of the asterisk zone.” Deeth keeps tabs on the movings and shakings of Iowa politics by penning johndeeth. com, a major source for Democratic activity in the state.

Auditorium provided O’Malley with fertile debating grounds, experts noted. Deeth and several others interviewed by The Daily Iowan said Nov. 14 was the first time where O’Malley was able to show Iowans and the nation that he is a “plausible candidate for far-left undecided Democrats.” “It seemed like every time it came back to O’Malley, he did what he needed to do to score points,” noted Tim Tracey, co-chairman of the Carroll County Democratic Party. Black Hawk County Democratic Party Chairwoman Pat Sass had just one word to describe O’Malley’s appearance: fantastic. Before all three candidates took the stage Nov. 14, O’Malley had struggled for months with low poll numbers both in Iowa and across the country.

In America, the land of opportunity and a country of privilege, mass amounts of food are thrown away every day while people struggle to find nourishment for their families. According to feedingamerica.org, 12.6 percent of Iowans are food insecure, and 18,760 people in need reside in Johnson County. Students at the University of Iowa discard an average of 3.5 ounces per meal after eating in the dining halls, according to an audit recorded two years ago at the UI. “We know the population is increasing and there’s going to be more need for food,” said Bob Andrlik, the director of Table to Table, a local food-rescue organization.

Judaism beyond gender-ism By MEGAN SANCHEZ megan-sanchez@uiowa.edu
Inclusiveness has always been a value of the Iowa Hillel House — a place for the small population of Jewish students at the University of Iowa to gather. Now, Jews are expressing this value on a more national scale. The Union for Reform Judaism passed a resolution last week granting more equal rights for transgender and gender-nonconforming people. Synagogues and Hillels across the nation are starting to re-sign their bathrooms — a step the Iowa Hillel made nearly ten years ago. “Our restroom here … we have a women’s room, but we also have a gender-neutral restroom,” said Iowa Hillel Executive Director Gerald Sorokin. “It’s not up to me to decide who goes
where. We want people to feel comfortable, so we have a gender-neutral restroom, and that’s an easy step.” Ab Weeks, a 19-year-old from Glen Ellyn, Illinois, has been out as gender-queer for a little over a year now. They prefer to use “they/ them” pronouns and do not identify as either male or female. They go to a church that is open and Sorokin a f f i r m i n g, executive director and they said feeling comfortable in their place of worship is extremely important. “The one person you can be truly honest with is God,” they said. “If you’re forced to be closeted in that place of worship, you’re not really being honest, and so
being able to do that is really important.” Today, there are three main types of Jewish practice: Conservative, Orthodox, and Reform. Each has a different approach to holiday observances and religious practices. The Iowa Hillel has members who identify with all three practices. Sorokin estimated that between 2 and 3 percent of the UI’s population is Jewish. UI senior Michelle Livitz, the vice president of Iowa Hillel, said she is thrilled to hear about the resolution. “I’m happy to hear it,” she said. “Every religion has a variety of different people who believe in that faith and I think that being inclusive with all of those people … and making someone feel welcome in their own faith is obviously important.”
Sorokin said the Iowa Hillel tries to be inclusive not just on gender issues but when it comes to political issues, and even religious beliefs. The center often holds events in which people from all different faiths are encouraged to attend. He said he feels the resolution, especially having been made on a national level, is a step in the right direction. “In the Jewish bible, it says very clearly that we’re created in the image of God,” he said. “Every human being has value, and every human being ought to be respected for who they are and given every opportunity to flourish, whether they’re men, they’re women, they identify as trans, those are completely appropriate categories, all of which ought to be respected and somehow celebrated.”
who would change it.” Tessler said she would still like to be involved at the North Liberty location. “It’s my brand and the company I started four years ago downtown in Iowa City,” she said. “I want to be involved, but I just can’t manage the day-to-day.” Tessler Tessler said owner she wasn’t in a hurry to sell her shop. “I’m not in any rush or desperate to sell it now,” she said. “I’m just putting it out there.” The sale of the North Liberty location will not affect the downtown
Iowa City shop. “We’re not going anywhere,” she said. “I plan to continue operating the Iowa City location. There’s no change then.” Tessler said Yotopia will continue to be the shop she created. “We source all of our yogurt from a dairy farm in Iowa,” she said. “It’s an Iowa brand, and nothing about that is going to change.” —By Gage Miskimen
The University of Iowa Student Government has released a statement concerning the incidents that occurred at the University of Missouri-Columbia last week. The university-system president,
Tim Wolfe, and Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin resigned Nov. 9 as protesters called for change in leadership because of the administration’s inaction to solve problems regarding racism. UISG President Liz Mills and Josh Schoenfeld, the UI Graduate and Professional Student Government president, composed a statement together saying they support Concerned Student 1950, Black Lives Matter, and other groups who aim to end racism at Missouri. The statement also notes that there is more to be done at the UI to combat racism. “As we strive to make the University of Iowa safer and more inclusive for everyone, we remain dedicated to advocating for all students, especially those who face systemic oppression in our community,” the statement reads. The statement encourages students to talk about diversity and inclusion at the UI.

Girl power collects in Iowa City BY SANDRA OMARI-BOATENG sandra-omari-boateng@uiowa.edu

Drag is beautiful, but a drag to get ready BY CINDY GARCIA cindy-garcia@uiowa.edu
A drag queen’s job is to perform. On the night of Nov. 14, the audience at Studio 13, 13 S. Linn St., waited for just that. Necks strained and murmurs filled the room expectantly for a chance to see a queen in action as music began to fill the smoky room. Myling Belle, a local drag queen and director of the show at Studio 13, was met with cheers and applause as she strutted to the stage in a red floor-length dress and seamless makeup. The ensuing four-minute performance may have seemed easy, but a look backstage tells a different story. “There’s an entire process, and it’s long and tedious. Nobody takes like five minutes,” Myling said backstage before the show began as she carefully contoured her face with a brush. Myling started doing drag at a Studio 13 charity fundraiser after a stint as a bartender. After that, she said it became an addiction. “When you’re not here performing, you’re thinking about your numbers, you’re learning your songs,
you're thinking about outfits, you’re sewing, you’re going out and buying makeup — it’s just very time-consuming,” she said. Besides the time spent outside, Myling said getting ready before a drag show takes roughly three hours. Makeup has to be applied evenly. Underneath every performance outfit are tights, hip pads, and a corset. Additionally, wigs have to be securely pinned in and nails glued on. However, Myling still finds the transformation enjoyable after four years of doing drag. “The best part [about doing drag] is the illusion, coming as a boy and doing this magic with the makeup,” she said. “You can make yourself into any person you want, any character you want. I think it’s crazy. Like you’re a blank canvas and you’re really an artist when you’re a drag queen.” Myling’s story is similar to Sasha Belle’s, another Studio 13 drag queen. Sasha was a server at Studio 13 before participating in an annual employee drag show. She gained nationwide recognition when she participated in the reality show “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” Sasha sat at a desk in the backstage room beside Myl-
ing’s on on Nov. 14, makeup jars covering its surface. “This is my home,” she said. “It’s kind of my chosen family. I love my real family very much but for a lot of gay kids coming out, it’s really hard and not everyone has the support that they need. This a safe haven. It was my safe haven when I came out.” Sasha has done drag for 10 years and echoed Myling’s beliefs on the physical discomfort of drag, from the heels to the heavy wigs. “But beauty is pain, you know,” she said. UI student Trevor Leeper has also performed at Studio 13 in the past. “Sometimes, I wish I could be like [Sasha Belle] where I could do drag as great as she does and do it as frequently and whatnot, but I also know, for me, there’s a lot of other things I have on my plate,” he said. Leeper said he considers drag a hobby but enjoys the chance to express himself. “I try to explain to people when I look in the mirror and I’m in drag, it's kind of like, ‘Oh, yeah. That’s me.’ ” he said. “It’s just me being another aspect of who I am.”

“Never again” is now Jace Brady jacebrady@gmail.com
This past weekend, we saw the devastation that ideological extremist can afflict on a nation and a people. The terrorism that occurred in Paris has extinguished the magic that can only be found in the City of Lights, but only temporarily. While the Eiffel Tower may have gone dark, this tragedy provides an opportunity to shed light on a potentially permanent crisis occurring in the Middle East. Created from the mayhem in Iraq and Syria, with leaders brewed to extremism in U.S. military prisons, ISIS has possibly become one of the most powerful terrorist organizations ever to exist. It has conquered large swaths of lands across the Middle East and has committed vast atrocities, including the attacks in Paris. These attacks are established in ideology and focused on certain groups of individuals considered heretics or enemies of ISIS. The Yazidis are a small sect in northern Iraq who are being systematically exterminated by ISIS. Men are killed and women and children either join their fate or are enslaved and given to ISIS fighters as rewards. The United States is currently considering joining the Holocaust museum and declaring the actions of ISIS genocide. The trivialities of whether ISIS can commit genocide without statehood are inconsequential and allow thousands more to die every month.
The Yazidis are not the only people being targeted by ISIS. Christians and homosexuals unfortunate enough to get caught in the crosshairs of the ISIS advance are being slaughtered without mercy. This deliberate killing of definitive groups of individuals must be declared genocide and managed accordingly. Before World War II, the world sat idly by while world leaders quietly appeased a tyrannical leader who was methodically killing anyone he felt may taint his master race. The blood of millions is on the hands of those leaders who failed to act and protect the defenseless. After the war, when the world saw the devastation that had been done to the Jewish people and others in Nazi Germany, we made a promise that no action like this would ever occur again. The world promised to remain vigilant to the threat of genocide, that no people would be targeted in mass based on nationality, ethnicity, or religion. The world has failed to preserve this promise, since World War II we have seen genocide in Rwanda, Bosnia, Cambodia, and Darfur. With each genocide, millions more have died and the responsibility to prevent the next mass extermination has grown. We now have a decision to make, because every day more people are killed — will we be the generation that stands up and stops hate in its tracks, or will we join the ranks of history who promise never again in hindsight and fail to prevent it when the occasion for responsibility occurs? I have no answers on what actions need to be taken, or how the situation in the Middle East should be handled, all I know is never again is now.

Terrorism and Europe’s refugee crisis
On the evening of Nov. 13, six different locations throughout Paris became the targets of a coordinated, simultaneous terror attack. At least 132 people have been killed, according to French officials, and more than 352 have been wounded, with 99 of those in very serious condition. French President François Hollande said the terrorist group ISIS had carried out the attack, and a statement from the group itself quickly confirmed this. Using AK-47s and suicide bombs, three teams of terrorists wreaked havoc across central Paris. The majority of the deaths were concert-goers at the Bataclan concert hall, where an American band, the Eagles of Death Metal, performed. At least 89 people were killed as the terrorists opened fire in the venue and took hostages. As for the perpetrators of the attacks, seven of the eight terrorists involved were killed by their own suicide bombs or from police gunfire. But a manhunt is on for the eighth suspected terrorist, French national Salah Abdeslam. The attack had several immediate consequences. Hollande declared a state of emergency and tightened security at France’s borders. He also called the terror attacks an “act of war,” and French military quickly responded in kind, launching air strikes against the de facto capital of ISIS’s operations in Syria, the city of Raqqah. But beyond the initial military response, it’s clear that France has been thrust into the center of a battle that can no longer be contained within the turmoil of Syria and Iraq. The attacks in Paris, combined with an attack in Beirut, Lebanon, that left 40 dead and the explosion of a Russian charter jet that killed more than 200 people, are emblematic of a shift in ISIS’ tactics that shows the terror group is not content with just establishing an Islamic caliphate in the Middle East.
What this tragedy shows us is that the War on Terror must become a global undertaking. The civil war in Syria and the subsequent mass exodus of both refugees and migrants seeking a better life created the conditions for the attack in Paris. An unnamed French senator who had been briefed by the French Interior Ministry told CNN that three of the suicide bombers had false passports, one from Syria and two from Turkey. These men were part of a “new professional squad of terrorists” who are mingling with refugees, adding another complication to the immigrant crisis that already has divided the European Union. An ISIS operative has claimed the group has smuggled 4,000 covert operatives among the refugees. With a rise in anti-immigrant sentiment across the continent, but particularly in such countries as Germany and France, the attack is sure to result in stronger opposition to letting these migrants in. Even though the proportion of potential terrorists among them is undoubtedly infinitesimally small, that fear is still legitimate. Eight terrorists carried out the Paris attack. Considering that 65 percent of the 820,000 refugees crossing the Mediterranean Sea in 2015 are men, attempting to develop screening methods to weed out terrorists seems like a hopeless task. Even with heightened security, how many ISIS operatives would still be able to slip through the cracks? The civil war in Syria, the rise of ISIS, and Europe’s immigrant crisis are related, and the attack on Paris has created a flash point for this web of factors to be honestly addressed. We can’t turn a blind eye to the possibility of terrorists among migrants. But we also shouldn’t turn our backs on hundreds of thousands of destitute people. Europe needs to address these dual concerns honestly when developing a plan.

I remember where I was when 9/11 happened. My mom was driving me to morning kindergarten when the news broke on the radio. My mother, who had been smiling as the latest P!nk song played, was now wearing an expression that could best be equated as pure, unadulterated terror. While I couldn’t fully understand what had happened at the time, I could tell that all the adults around me were drained, as if they knew life would never be the same. And, in all honesty, it never was.
Everyone in America remembers where he or she was when it happened. Sadly, France now shares that experience with us. On Nov. 13, Paris was attacked. It began around 9:17pm, when authorities report that three suicide bombers detonated themselves outside of the Stade de France. From that point on, everything fell into pandemonium. Six sites were targeted in the attack. Most of the perpetrators of this incident have been reported to be dead, and some suspects have been taken in, though not without a cost. It was not long after the events of Nov. 13 that the extremist group ISIS took credit for the attack. French President François Hollande commented that what ISIS did was “an act of war” and
that “even if France is wounded, she will rise.” The next couple of weeks and the next series of decisions are crucial. First and foremost, what we need to do as France’s ally is be there for French as they were for us. That part is already being done by not only the United States but by most of the democratic world. This is the easy part; France was the victim and therefore, by logic, should be protected and cared for. I am more worried, however, for what its government does. After 9/11, there was a wave of anti-Muslim sentiment that spread through America. Muslims were subjects of public bigotry and hate crimes. It turned a time that should have been highlighted by unity into a time period of social persecution that was one good step away from
the treatment of Japanese-American citizens during World War II. The biggest fear about all this though, is the threat of war. Right now, the French in a delicate position. They have the burden of proper response. If France goes into combat with too much force, it could create a bigger conflict that he world may not be prepared for. However, too little action could create a precedent to the terrorist organization, a precedent that states that ISIS’s actions will have insufficient consequence. Furthermore, now that the world’s focus is on France, its actions are ripe for scrutiny. What happens next will determine history, that much I am sure. However, whatever it decides to do, it must have the backing and support of its allies.
Mario, good for you.
players to exert the power necessary to remove Harreld from office by refusing to play for am illegitimate administration on Saturdays. So men, how about it? Are you here to play football for a university president who is a blatant “cheater,” whose own recruitment process could easily justify an NCAA investigation if only he had been a student-athlete? Or did you come here to work (at very low pay and great personal risk) for a university that honors fair play and the “rule of law?” I’m betting that some of you are socially conscious “smart jocks.” In the words of Spike Lee, “Do the right thing.”
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR RE: “Let’s talk” I deeply appreciate and can relate to the remarks contained in Mario Williams’ column in the Nov. 13 issue of The Daily Iowan. His observations and experiences mirror my own personal life experiences as an African American wherein I have borne witness to and participated in some great teachable and life-changing moments with regard to race relations. I, too, have never set one foot in a protest march, but I know that I have participated in actions, along with my father, the late Rev. Fred L. Penny, that have made a real difference in the lives of blacks and others who were hurting. Thank you very much and keep up the good work, Mario. — Dianna Penny We’d love to talk. It is saddening you feel this way, and if others are, too, it needs to be addressed. Many of your Facebook friends are presidents or have other leadership role in those
orgs you felt are not inclusive, talk to them, talk to me; it can be public or private. I hope you take this serious as we take this serious as well. We are your community despite how much you are around or leading in other arenas as well. Hope your family and friends at Mizzou are doing well. — Antonio Rodriguez You’re stereotyping the others in minority organizations as being exclusive and not fostering diversity. I think how you describe them is wrong and unfair. These groups do not exist to isolate minorities from the population, rather to provide a safe place for people that have a higher chance to face inequality. Portraying them as social pariahas who are refuse to engage with other races is presenting them as prejudice and borderline racists. That goes against the entire philosophy of the diversity organizations. I suggest you join one before making such broad assumptions. Or at least show evidence rather than painting with a broad brush. — Shahaed Hasan
While your fellow students push for inclusion by excluding others, promote free speech by shouting down dissent and work for a safer campus by intimidating others, you are actually moving us forward. — Henry Ascher
Smart jocks
Although athletes are stereotyped as “dumb jocks,” the University of Missouri football team recently forced Missouri-system business-man President Tim Wolfe’s resignation when his regime was exposed as “illegitimate.” Now, our coach Kirk Ferentz is a strong academic leader, but he’s not going to protest the legitimacy of our president’s hiring because the coach is doing the business of “college football.” (However, the astute Ferentz must secretly realize that Bruce Harreld is as fit to run UI as Athletics Director Gary Barta is to teach women’s studies.) Suddenly, in this strange postmodern world, it may fall on the steadfast shoulders of Hawkeye football

FOOD CONTINUED FROM FRONT “At the same time, 40 to 50 percent of it is wasted,” Andrlik said, citing data from the Food and Agricultural Organization. He said the amount of food thrown away comes as a surprise to many people, especially those statistics directly affecting Iowans, where agriculture is a major part of the economy. “It’s amazing that the alternative to donating the 744 tons of food would have it going to the landfill or a significant portion of it,” Andrlik said. While there is a system to recover unused food in Iowa City, Andrlik said there is always a need, and a dialogue is starting to take place for awareness. Maddie Cappel, a freshman who recently began working at the Hillcrest dining hall, said her employment changed her perspective, as strategies are being set to reduce

food and water waste. “I try to not take as much food,” she said. “I know how much hard work goes into prepping it and how much [the employees] care about what they do.” The move to become greener aligns with the UI’s stated goal to be 40 percent self-sustainable by 2020, said Von Stange, director of UI Housing. “When we’re serving 11,000 students a day, waste adds up pretty quick,” Fred Kurt, Hillcrest Marketplace manager, said of the 7,500 pounds of food produced weekly on campus. Stange said wasting less would lower food costs for students, though the message is difficult to get across when most customers only buy a meal plan for a year or two. In addition to trayless dining halls, a computer system has been put in place to better predict how much food needs to be cooked on a daily basis. Kurt said the system keeps track of how much food is consumed daily
and records overall patterns that occur in the dining halls. “We’re not saying students should eat less,” Kurt said. “Just take what you need to start.” Garbage disposals have also been eliminated from the dining halls, which Kurt said used 10 to 15 gallons of water per minute and ran con- Kurt stantly. manager Housing & Dining has been assisted by a grant from the Department of National Resources labeled the Solid Waste Alternative Program, which has given $80,000 over the past few

years to promote sustainability, Kurt said. A new dishwasher, valued at $120,000, and new $40,000 “pulpers” for the dining halls have been installed. Pulpers compost food by taking out the water. “Even if it’s not able to be reused to feed people, it’s at least not having a damaging effect on the infrastructure,” Andrlik said of composting. Water use has dropped with the new dishwasher from 400 gallons per hour to 50 gallons per hour, Kurt said. With the amount of resources being saved, the university should make the money back in four years, he said. Andrlik said food waste also breaks down and
produces 21 times more harmful gases than other items thrown away, which is confirmed on endfoodwaste.org. “Composting is a way to sequester that carbon and those greenhouse gases back into soil and be used to grow more food,” Andrlik said. “It’s another way of dealing with the waste in a productive manner.” He said most of the food from the university is donated during breaks from school, and fraternities and sororities also
give what would go bad over holiday breaks. “Donations are unpredictable,” Andrlik said. “That’s part of our puzzle – to match what the donor is giving us to the agency that’s able to handle that type of food, and the capacity, so we can make a home for that food while it’s still usable.” “Oftentimes it looks like the people who don’t need a meal are the ones who are only able to afford the food that’s really not good for them,” he said.

COMMENTARY
A perfect swarm in Kinnick Stadium
Nov. 14 was the best day Kinnick Stadium has seen and ever will see.
Danny Payne daniel-payne-1@uiowa.edu
During the third quarter of No. 5 Iowa’s 40-35 victory over Minnesota, the speakers at Kinnick Stadium began blaring Notorious B.I.G.’s “Hypnotize.” By the time the song’s refrain rolled around, seemingly all of the 70,585 packed inside the blacked-out venue with smart phones had turned on their flashlights, swaying back and forth with the song’s lyrics. It was sublime; it was unlike anything anyone has ever seen in that 86-year-old venue. It was part of history and one of the countless things that made Nov. 14 the best day Kinnick Stadium has ever seen. It was one that cannot be replicated anywhere, ever. … Around 10:30 a.m., roughly 20,000 people were scat-
tered throughout the south end of Kinnick Stadium for the Iowa wrestling team’s Grapple on the Gridiron match with Oklahoma State. As the clock ticked closer to the scheduled11 a.m. start, seats began to fill, and fill, and fill. By the time 125-pounder Thomas Gilman led the Hawkeyes to the mat through a column of pyrotechnics, there was still some room in the high corners of the stands, and the crowd hadn’t passed the 50-yard line. By the time Gilman won by major decision over Eddie Klimara and Cory Clark followed with a decision over Gary Wayne Harding, the crowd was a solid black mass that stretched past midfield under a clear, beautiful sky. After 174-pounder Alex Meyer nearly pulled an upset of Kyle Crutchmer, the place was rocking, and the NCAA-record crowd of 42,287 was ready to explode. Sammy Brooks had no trouble giving them reason to. The 184-pounder beat Jordan Rogers by technical fall in4:09. After Brooks gave his team a commanding lead it didn’t relinquish,
he flexed his biceps and later said he felt like they could have blown the roof off Kinnick. Of course, there is no roof, but if there had been, Brooks wouldn’t have been wrong. … Six hours after the Hawkeye wrestlers finished Oklahoma State with an 18-16 victory, the Iowa football team swarmed through the same tunnel Gilman led his squad thorough earlier in the day. AC/DC’s “Back in Black” bellowed throughout Kinnick, and the sold-out crowd shook Kinnick to its core. The audience was electric and with good reason. The game’s entertainment value was astronomical, with Iowa posting 40 points, and Minnesota never going away, scoring 35 of its own. After running back LeShun Daniels Jr. sealed the game — or so we thought at the time — with a 51-yard touchdown run with 2:01 remaining in the fourth quarter, the customary I-OW-A chant was audible from as far as two miles away.
Iowa's Cory Clark wrestles against Oklahoma State's Gary Wayne Harding in the 133-pound match in Kinnick Stadium on Nov. 14. Clark defeated Harding by decision, 8-2. The Hawkeyes defeated the Cowboys, 18-16. (The Daily Iowan/Joshua Housing) Again, give an assist to the unseasonable November weather. And then, the crowning jewel — Floyd. After the Gophers failed an onside kick, C.J. Beathard took the final knee in football’s best formation. Iowa lined up along its sideline and walked across the field to take the trophy
back from Minnesota. As the Hawkeyes walked back through that tunnel the final time, to one more deafening cheer and “In Heaven There Is No Beer,” it was impossible to beat that atmosphere; 112,862 people watched Iowa make history in Kinnick Stadium. Similar days will likely
happen down the road, perhaps again at Iowa, or at other institutions. But know this — Nov. 14 cannot be replicated anywhere, ever. Follow @dannyapayne on Twitter for Iowa football news, updates, and analysis.
Volleyball struggles against Wisconsin By KYLE MANN kyle-mann@uiowa.edu
Amid the commotion of everything happening in Iowa City this past weekend, the Iowa volleyball team hit the dusty trail to take on No. 11 Wisconsin in Madison on Nov. 14. The Hawkeyes were defeated in straight sets, dropping to 12-17 overall, 2-14 in the Big Ten. Wisconsin moves to 20-6 and 12-4. The match began with a closely contested first set, which saw the teams trade points back and
forth until about midway through the set. Wisconsin mounted a 3-0 run to gain separation and go up, 14-10, and Shymansky used it to head coach cruise the rest of the way to a 25-20 victory. Iowa has played top competition all season long, and despite a lessthan-stellar record to show for it, has played well against even its best opponents. On Nov.
14, however, that largely stopped after the first set. The Hawkeyes hit only .097 in the second set, and the Badgers hit .654 with 18 kills. Using a 6-0 run in the early going, Wisconsin dominated and coasted to a 25-11 victory. The Badger momentum carried into the third set, which saw Iowa plummet to a .000 hitting percentage. The Iowa offense was out of sorts all night and also had to deal with being out-blocked, 8-2. The Hawkeyes could nev-
Hawk runners finish 15th at regional By ADAM HENSLEY adam-hensley@uiowa.edu
The Iowa men’s cross-country team wrapped up the 2015 season by placing 15th at the Midwest Regional. Oklahoma State won the meet for the third year in a row, totaling only 59 points. Minnesota finished right behind at 95. Iowa scored 408 points. Coming off of an individual conference title, Tulsa sophomore Marc Scott won the meet with a time of 29:37.1. Ben Anderson led the Hawks, Anderson f i n i s h i n g head coach 48th with a time of 31:17.9. “I think I raced pretty well,” he said. “[I] had a bounce back from Big Tens.” Michael Melchert, who came in as one of the Hawkeyes’ top runners, did not finish the race. The sophomore dropped out after losing a shoe mid-race. “We put ourselves in a position to do well, but unfortunately, with the loss of Melchert, we didn’t finish as strongly the last six minutes of the race,” head coach Layne Anderson said in a release. “At about the 5K mark, [Melchert]
got stepped on, and his shoe came off. I think he tried to run a little after that, but the course had too difficult of footing.” Hawkeye Anthony Gregorio followed Ben Anderson, finishing 54th, and Kevin Docherty came in at 80th. Daniel Soto (114), Nate Ferree (126), and Ian Eklin (143) rounded out the rest of the pack. While the results may not have been what the runners desired, many gained knowledge that may turn out to be valuable. “For all our guys, whether it was our first or our third 10K, we all gained experience, and that is invaluable,” Ben Anderson said. Midwest Regional champion Oklahoma State’s mindset heading into the meet was to be patient. “We will probably run patiently through the first few thousand meters and watch to see which other teams want to push,” Oklahoma director of cross-country Dave Smith said prior to the meet. “After that, we will react and try to chase down any early leaders.” The Cowboys came into the meet ranked sixth in the nation, first in the region. Smith expressed his satisfaction with how his team has performed up to this point. Oklahoma State had some concerns with inconsistency — its
top seven runners had shuffled around throughout the season. This did not hinder the harriers. “I am really proud of this team and the way they have matured as a group over the course of the season,”Smith said. “As we rest up even more over the next couple of days, we will get better still.” All but one of Smith’s runners placed in the top 30, five in the top 17. While Tulsa’s Scott was crowed individual champion, he had a strong supporting cast. Junior Luke Traynor and sophomore Benjamin Preisner placed seventh and 11th for the Hurricanes, who placed fourth overall. Head coach Steve Gulley believed that going into the meet, his young team would be able to build on recent momentum from a conference title. “We have a very young squad coming off perhaps their best race of the season at conference,” he said. “So if our young runners can take a lot of confidence from that and build on that performance, we should be in a good spot to run well.” While Iowa’s cross-country season came to an end on Nov. 13, most runners will continue into track and field, whose season starts in the winter.
er string together anything of substance, and dropped the final set, 25-14. Jess Janota led the Hawkeyes with 8 kills on .462 attacking, but she was largely the only offensive weapon for head coach Bond Shymansky.
The team collectively hit a mere .106. It was another difficult night for the Hawkeyes, but the only option for the team is to keep trying. “Our girls have an outstanding amount of optimism right now,” Shy-
mansky said in a release. “I think they see and feel both the challenge and the reward of playing in the Big Ten. We are still proud of what we are giving, chasing and working toward.” Iowa will host Ohio State on Wednesday.

M BBALL CONTINUED FROM 12 ond half. The game was not without issue for the Hawkeyes. McCaffery laid into his team at the under-12 media timeout, taking issue with his team’s defensive performance during a small Coppin State run. “If you look at the numbers, defensively, we had a little problem in the second half trading baskets, and we got that corrected,” McCaffery said. The final score, however, 103-68, demonstrated how a strong outing the Hawkeyes had. Redshirt freshman Brady Ellingson had the biggest first half, going 3-3 from the field and 3-4 from the free-throw line for 10 points. Senior Mike Gesell logged 12 assists The second half played out in similar fashion, although the bench played significantly more. Ellingson, Uhl, and junior Dale Jones continued to light up the scoreboard, dropping 20, 18, and 16 respectively.

McCaffrey praised Ellingson’s movement without the ball. Ellingson credited his teammates for getting him the ball. “I think we’re just moving better without the ball,” he said. “My teammates were setting good screens, looking for me coming off of them.” Ellingson, known more as a shooter, had his 3-point shot overshadowed by the rest of the team. Uhl went 3-of-5 behind the arc, Uthoff was 1-of-3, Gesell was 1-of-2, and Dale Jones was 4-of-6. The team as a whole went 12-of-28 beyond the arc, good for a 42.9 percentage; 31 of the Hawkeyes 40 shots had an assist attached to them. The Hawkeyes played their best game of the season, both on the box score and according to the eye test. And while McCaffery said his rotation will depend mostly on the ingame situation, Gesell said the young players on the team are getting better. “Our freshmen don’t play like freshmen,” he said. “Our young guys have a lot of talent, and you have to

Brooks likes to think he is not one to get up and celebrate a win, but he flexed his muscles in the south end zone after his 17-2 win. “There was no stopping myself; it felt like a lightning bolt.

Defense hits late-season rut The Iowa defense has struggled recently, and the players are hungry for hunger. By JORDAN HANSEN | jordan-hansen@uiowa.edu With 6:08 to go in the fourth quarter of Iowa’s 40-35 win over Minnesota on Nov. 14, the Gophers got the ball back at their own 40 after a short Iowa punt. Three plays later, Minnesota wide receiver Drew Wolitarsky caught a pass from running back Shannon Brooks and ran untouched for 40 yards into the end zone. Iowa safety Miles Taylor had read run, sprinted in to help, and was completely out of position to make a play. It was not the only mistake from the Iowa secondary during an evening in which the Minnesota offense put up 434 yards — 301 through the air. In fact, Iowa’s defense has been a growing question mark over the last few weeks. “I think as a defense we’ve taken a little step back,” Taylor said. “I think we need to refocus, watch a little bit more film, correct our mistakes, and play with more passion.” Iowa has allowed four plays of longer than 30 yards over the last two games after only allowing eight during the previous eight games. Even more troubling for defensive coordinator Phil Parker’s unit is the number of yards and points they’ve given up. “[Minnesota] had a lot of big plays, a couple trick plays, and that’s where they got us,” cornerback Desmond King said. “That’s where we really messed up.” The Hawkeyes have now allowed 400-plus yards in back-to-back games and have given up 62 points combined in those contests. As a point of comparison, Iowa gave up 67 total points during the five games preceding the dates
The only piece left during the weekend puzzle for the Hawkeyes fell into place early Sunday evening with the men’s basketball team’s win over Coppin State. In what amounted to complete domination on all fronts, the Hawkeyes trounced the Eagles, 10368, to put a weekend sweep on every Hawkeye sporting event at home. Iowa jumped on the gas early, with sophomore Dom Uhl start- Uhl ing in place of an in- sophomore jured Peter Jok. There were no problems for the Jok-less Hawkeyes, however; they scored early and often in a 22-2 run to start the game. And it was the bench, all of the bench, that had the biggest role. “When you have young players, you’ve got to be able to let them get in the game, make a mistake, stay in the game,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said. “If every possession in the game was in the balance, it’s hard to do sometimes.” In continuing to tinker with his lineup, the coach played 11 men in the first half, nine of whom scored en route to the Hawkeyes’ 52-22 halftime lead.

The Grapple on the Gridiron was nothing short of a success for the Iowa wrestling team, which set an NCAA record for attendance at 42,287 spectators. Oh, and Iowa topped No. 4 ranked Oklahoma State, 18-16. The team jogged out of the tunnel in typical Hawkeye fashion to “Back in Black,” being greeted by cheers from the crowd and fire being blasted upward all around. “That fire was hot,” 184-pounder Sammy Brooks said, putting an extra emphasis on the last word. “I tried to soak it all in and stay relaxed and Iowa’s Cory Clark wrestles against Oklahoma State’s Gary Wayne Harding in the 133-pound match in Kinnick Stadium on Nov. 14.

The Iowa women’s basketball team pulls through in the Hawkeye Challenge. By ROD ENGBLOM roderick-engblom@uiowa.edu
The Hawkeye women’s basketball team finished the Hawkeye Challenge with a win over Tennessee-Martin, 62-56. While the Hawkeyes finished the game winning by 6, the team had to fight for the lead after overcoming a slow start. “I don’t like starting out in that hole, and we had two slow starts both nights,” head coach Lisa Bluder said. “We had two slow start, so we have to fix that. We have to be ready to go right off the bat.” Martin started the game with 10 unanswered points, and Iowa finished the first quarter down 12-10. Although Iowa didn’t shoot well to begin the game, the Bluder Hawks believe they head coach kept their cool. “I thought we had some good looks,” Bluder said. “The nice thing is I don’t think we panicked. Sometimes when you get that deficit, you can panic and start throwing up really bad shots, and we just didn’t do that.” The Hawkeyes battled through the second quarter, going back and fourth with Martin and were able to tie the game at 26 at halftime.
