Social-media movements honor Mollie Tibbetts BY CHRISTOPHER BORRO
The DI’s Pregame returns this Friday
DAILY-IOWAN.COM
Following the death of University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts, a variety of campaigns continue to carry on her legacy. One of these is the Mollie Movement, which encourages random acts of kindness in Tibbetts’ memory. A pair of Iowa women, Sara Jo Harvey of Waterloo and Claire Burch of Des Moines, started the movement. Burch is one of Tibbetts’ cousins. Harvey and Burch’s campaign has been featured
on news networks from San Francisco to Philadelphia as more and more people join the movement. “We were both overwhelmed with emotion,” Harvey said in an email to The Daily Iowan. “This movement has grown into something we could have never imagined. What started as a few Iowans quickly grew into [hundreds], now thousands of people across the world.” The pair’s community Facebook Tibbetts page, @TheMollieMovement, had
5,494 likes and 5,575 follows at the time of publication. Harvey said the group’s posts have reached more than 50,000 people worldwide. Many of those participating in the Mollie Movement leave small pieces of paper at the site of their good deeds, called kindness cards. “Kindness cards are little slips of paper you print out that encourage others to pay it forward,” Harvey said. “Whether it be with a small candy bar, or paying for the next person’s bill, or even tipping more SEE TIBBETTS, 2A

Hawkeye’s O-Line needs to step up into role With the absence of starting offensive tackles because of suspensions, Iowa football freshman Mark Kallenberger and senior Dalton Ferguson will have to step up into their respective roles against a tough Northern Illinois defense. With help coming from the other side of the ball, the tackles making their first career starts are expected to be ready for game time.

julia-digiacomo@uiowa.edu Concern has sparked over the University of Iowa’s proposed closing of the Labor Center, the only organization of its kind among the three public universities governed by the state Board of Regents. The Labor Center serves as an educational hub for
workers’ rights issues. Labor Center Director Jennifer Sherer said the center’s continuing education programs reach an average of 2,500 workers from more than 70 Iowa counties each year. The organization also conducts research, hosts events, and serves students as a career resource. On July 10, the UI announced it will cut funds to seven organizations on campus, including the Labor

Helping not just friends, but strangers alike. That’s the lesson Cindy Axne, the Democratic candidate for the 3rd Congressional District seat, said her parents taught her, and that has motivated her to run against Republican incumbent David Young for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Des Moines native graduated from the University of Iowa and has worked for approximately 20 state-governmental agencies in her decade as a public servant, but it was the 2016 election that ultimately spurred her to run for an elective office. “I felt the need to step up, use the lessons, the values my parents taught me and use the skills that I had that I thought could help make the lives better for the people here in this district,” Axne said. While working in state government, she helped bring Iowa’s wind-energy industry to scale in the state when she oversaw the Governor’s Agenda on Clean Energy and the Environment. If elected, Axne said, she will keep Iowans in mind and visit her constituents when she can. Legislatively, she hopes to address health care,

Finding Mollie Tibbetts, @molliesmovement on Facebook, which currently has 16,915 likes and 20,956 follows. Ever since Tibbetts’ body was found, the tagline for Mollie’s Movement changed to Finding Others and now focuses on providing resources that raise awareness for other missing individuals. VanLandschoot has made new “#TheMollieMovement” T-shirts with proceeds going toward a scholarship fund at BGM High School in Brooklyn;
the move has raised more than $15,000. Another Mollie-inspired movement is the #MilesforMollie campaign, spread largely via social media. Sarah Chicchelly, a UI graduate student in the Epidemiology Department, is an avid runner who has ran in six marathons and is training for a seventh. “I pretty much exclusively run by myself these days,” Chicchelly said. Chicchelly said she learned about the Miles for Mollie
Movement primarily through social media. “I personally dedicate my miles to Mollie … by just continuing to do what I do and not let fear dictate where I run …” she said. “Women should be able to run whenever, wherever they want and not feel unsafe.” VanLandschoot said she had never met Tibbetts, but through
learning about her, she fell in love with her and her family. She said she was proud to have grown up in Brooklyn and that the community members will strive to be like Tibbetts in their daily lives. “Her light can never fade in our hearts and will continue to shine through in the actions of others,” she said.
in this position because these centers and employees provide valuable outreach and service to Iowans,” Harreld said in the statement. “But we can no longer ask our students to support activities previously supported by the state just a generation ago.” In response to the university’s announcement, there has been a wave of action. Sherer said she has seen a huge response from students, faculty, continuing-education students, and workers around the state.
“One of the things people were very upset about when this announcement came out was that nobody had been consulted,” she said. “Nobody who was directly involved with the center or who had been through the center’s education program had been asked to give any input or even give information on the impact.” A series of public hearings supporting the Labor Center have been hosted across the state, and Sherer said hundreds of people have called or emailed
the UI to speak out. “It’s a period of time where we know that we have vastly increasing inequality in our economy and workers’ rights are eroding in many ways,” Sherer said. “I think people feel like this kind of information and education is more important than ever.” Tracy Leone, a cofounder and volunteer for the Save Our Labor Center Coalition, said the Labor Center has been essential to her years of labor-related work. Because of the center, she
said, she has witnessed labor unions come together to learn about health and safety laws, rights on the job, worker-compensation laws, the Family and Medical Leave Act, among other items. “There’s no other entity in the entire state of Iowa that provides this for working people,” Leone said. “The closure of the labor center is a real threat to an educated workforce.” A student meeting was held Wednesday at the IMU. Various speakers voiced dissent against
the funding cuts, including students, faculty, a union leader, Sen. Bob Dvorsky, D-Coralville, and Center for Worker Justice cofounder and Iowa City City Councilor Mazahir Salih. Salih said the Center for Worker Justice would not exist without the early help and education from the Labor Center. She noted that the Labor Center courses informed her of her rights. “Where I am right now has a lot to do with the Labor Center,” she said.
there will be additional signs for parking lots on game days. Most, if not all, other construction in the area will continue in the spring. Furthermore, it will be done at night to minimize traffic delays. “The length of a project depends on its size and more importantly, its funding,” Clark said. “Sometimes it can be done in a pretty condensed time
period, other times it cannot.” The transportation team at UI Facilities Management is preparing for football season and the traffic that comes with it, said strategic communication manager April Wells. “Football game days are like orchestras,” she said. “There are all these moving parts, and everything has to move at certain times. Our part is
to be a supporting structure. The Athletics Department tells us what it needs, and we help accommodate that.” The latter includes setting up parking lots the Friday before games and reserving space for tailgating, Wells said. In heavily pedestrian areas, streets close approximately two hours before the game and two hours after. “There’s a road closure at Melrose that does make getting to the hospital complex by Kinnick a little bit challenging,” she said. “We advise people to come from the north on Hawkins Drive.” There will be two northbound lanes for exiting the game, she said, because of safety concerns about the Gateway Project and consequent narrow lanes along Dubuque Street. Gateway, focusing on reconstruction to minimize damage in reaction to the 2008 flood, has been responsible for revamping Dubuque Street since May 2016. The highly anticipated Park Road Bridge is expected to open Friday evening, Wells said. The Cambus routes have been adjusted on a day-to-day basis to adapt to such con-
struction. Wells said a new route was added in order to maintain the numbers of buses per stop. Some routes also have been redirected, she said. Dubuque Street lanes will, hopefully, reopen in the near future, said special projects administrator Melissa Clow. “We will continue to have head-to-head traffic on Dubuque Street, so everyone needs to expect delays,” she said. “I would estimate four to six weeks before all lanes are open.” Further construction includes the Pedestrian Mall Streetscape Plan, Clark said, which is estimated to be finished in 2019 and will involve utility work, brick surfacing, ADA accessibility upgrades, among other items. As construction continues, engineers ask that students and citizens adhere to sidewalk and street closings, following the detour signs provided. “People will come jogging through a construction site,” Clow said. “A girl recently ran across the freshly laid concrete and tracked it over the bridge.”

sue here for the people in this state,” Axne said. “I want to get out there and make sure everyone has access to affordable, effective care.” A July poll by Anzalone Liszt Grove Research had Axne up by 4 points against Young with a 19-point lead among women and a 32-point lead with Des Moines residents. However, data from the poll may not be the most representative of the district. The 500 likely voters surveyed accounts for 0.1 percent of active voters in the district when the poll was taken. Axne is one of many women making a bid for Congress in the 2018 midterm
elections. Approximately 20 percent of members of the U.S. House are women. Axne believes it is important for the makeup of Congress to be more reflective of the U.S. population. “If your government reflects the people it serves, you’re going to make better decisions,” she said. Axne is one of two women running for a seat in the House in Iowa. Democratic candidate Abby Finkenauer is running against Republican incumbent Rep. Rod Blum in Iowa’s 1st District. “[The voters] want to see people who know how to solve problems and have experience
in doing that,” Axne said. Axne and Finkenauer are both endorsed by Emily’s List, a national organization that aims to elect women from the Democratic Party to offices at the state and federal level. While on the campaign trail, Axne’s focus has been to meet the voters in the district, noting she has held approximately 100 meetand-greets with residents of the district as a way to get to know voters and hear their concerns. “When government functions well, it serves a really great purpose andcan raise up the lives of the people who live here,” Axne said.

BIG TEN CONTINUED FROM 6A Sorley will keep the strong Nittany Lion offense alive with a solid receiving corps, and Miles Sanders should be a serviceable replacement for Barkley when called upon.
4) Michigan State (10-3) If Brian Lewerke puts together more consistent performances, Michigan State will be in good hands. Lewerke threw for 400 yards in back-to-back games last season, but he also threw for fewer than 200 yards in six games. If the Spartan defense steps up, look out, Big Ten.
TENNIS CONTINUED FROM 6A Schmid is optimistic about their ability to compete. “We have a great group of new kids,” she said. “I think the tennis is strong and that we will be a lot deeper than we have been in years past. You can see they are hungry and are ready to compete hard for the Hawkeyes and each other.” Although this roster is a younger than last year’s team, Schmid isn’t that concerned with how much veteran leadership was lost to graduation. “It’s always tough to lose great seniors,” she said. “We had a great senior class last year, so that’s what we are trying to develop now with this team. We only have one senior this year, so leadership is going to have to come from a lot of different classes this season.” That leadership starts with Iowa’s sole senior, Huckleby. Last season as a junior, she had an up-anddown season, finishing 8-12. Now, being the lone senior, she is ready to take her game to the next lev-
FOOTBALL CONTINUED FROM 6A at offensive tackle for Saturday and will probably rotate, Ferentz said. Junior Sutton Smith, a Northern Illinois defensive end, means a lot of trouble for most offensive lines. He’s quick, and with the inexperience in the Hawkeye offensive tackles, he could be a big threat. Last season, he led the nation in three categories: sacks (14), tackles for loss (29.5), and quarterback pressures (73). “We’re going to respect our opponents,” Paulsen said. “We’ve got guys on our defensive line with the 1s and 2s who are fast, too, so if we just take it day by day, and look at our guys, and not compare them to Northern Illinois guys but just carry over our fundamentals and our technique, I think, going forward, we’ll have a really good chance.” With some new Hawkeyes being thrown into the mix with little to no experience, a strength in practice has been having good defenses

5) Iowa (8-5)
With a more experienced quarterback in Nate Stanley — who Colin Cowherd said could be one of the best in the country — the Hawkeyes should be set on at least one side of the ball. The inexperienced linebacker corps, however, is another story. But at the end of the day, Kirk Ferentz should get his record-setting win this week.
6) Michigan (8-5) Good ol’ Jim Harbaugh needs to beat the Buckeyes if he wants to keep coaching the Wolverines. He’s 0-3, and if you’re not beating Ohio State as the Michigan coach, what are you there for, anyway? Shea Patterson is Harbaugh’s best quarterback since Jake Rudock, el while also helping the younger players learn the Iowa way of tennis. “We have a lot of new girls,” she said. “So I’m excited to see how the team dynamic changes as we move along. I’m looking to be a good senior to these girls by being happy, positive, and leading by example. I want to show them what Iowa tennis is all about.” Besides a new start, another thing Iowa has going for it is its health. Last season, the Hawkeyes had numerous injuries causing them to fall to a 10-14 record. Right now, Iowa is fully healthy for the first time in a long time, leaving room for plenty of success. Schmid sees a lot of strengths in the squad, but the one that she feels most strongly about is the depth. “I think our overall depth is the strongest part of our team,” she said. “Other things that I like about our team is our overall chemistry as well as our competitive spirit. I think we are also going to fight and compete really hard. These are the things that I think are going to be in our favor the rest of the way.” to go up against. Senior Parker Hesse and junior Anthony Nelson, both defensive ends, have been providing a challenge for the offensive tackles during practice, which, Ferentz said, has helped a little in the preparations. “The bottom line is [Kallenberger and Ferguson] haven’t played a lot, and their guys are veteran, the guys from Northern Illinois are,” Ferentz said. “It’ll be interesting to watch, but I think they’ll be prepared.” Another problem to look for with the offensive line in general is the role inexperience among the tackles and the other positions plays a role. However, the team has known for weeks that it would be without its go-to offensive tackles, so there has been time to adjust and work closely to find continuity. “Obviously, we knew a while back that we were going to have this problem,
so there’s a chance Michigan goes to the conference championship.
the quarterback rotation.
7) Northwestern (10-3)
If the Gophers could score touchdowns at the rate that head coach P.J. Fleck talks, they would probably end up being national champions. However, that’s not the case. Once a team that posed a threat in every game, Minnesota has fallen off the Big Ten map a little bit.
I wish I had the view that Wildcat players get when looking out of their practice facility every day. However, the beautiful beach doesn’t help a team win football games. With a tough battle against Purdue early, we should see how real this Northwestern team is.

10) Nebraska (4-8)
12) Maryland (4-8)
Scott Frost might as well start planning for a statue after how hyped the Husker fans are for his first year as head coach. If he has anything remotely close to what he ran at Central Florida, Nebraska will be in great shape. Until then, he’s work-
The Terrapins need a lot of help, so maybe having a healthy quarterback is a step in the right direction. However, Maryland needs more help than that. Given how tough the East Division is, don’t expect the Terrapins to go bowling any time soon.
SPORTS 3A 13) Rutgers (4-8)
Sound the alarms. Rutgers is no longer the team in the Big Ten cellar. After winning three conference games last year, Chris Ash and the Scarlet Knights have made moves. Don’t get too carried away, though. Rutgers is still Rutgers, so saying the Knights are on the rise might be a little premature.
14) Illinois (2-10) Lovie Smith is on the hot seat, but really, any Illinois coach in the past 10 years has been, too. The Illini have won 5 games in two season under Smith, and if that trend continues, don’t be surprised if Illinois starts making coaching calls sooner rather than later.

Heed John McCain’s words: ‘Let’s trust each other’ Sen. McCain offered advice on the Senate floor, saying that the country needs to work together. It’s high time we heeded his advice.
COLLEN MAHONEY
collen-mahoney@uiowa.edu As reported by news agencies across the United States, as well as the world, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., died on Aug. 25. His death sent shocks through the political system, and it has sparked the questions: What is his legacy, and what does it mean for us? McCain spent an immense amount of time serving the United States as a member of the Navy, a surviving POW, former representative from Arizona, and six-term senator from Arizona. He also ran for president twice, once in 2000 and once in 2008. McCain ran as a Republican both times. In an age in which being a
Republican can be somewhat difficult, McCain was able to survive because of his ability to reach across party lines when he thought it was necessary. Did he have his own views that he kept close and would rarely budge on? Absolutely quite a few of his policy beliefs proved that. However, he was also an outward sign of what Republicans, and all politicians for that matter, should be: unafraid to reach across the aisle and speak the truth. There are a few events that remain in recent memory that I can think of in which McCain reached across the aisle: the immigration bill that was put together by the so-called “Gang of Eight” a few years ago, in which McCain worked with four Democrats and three other Republicans to try to come up with a plan on comprehensive immigration reform. The bill ultimately failed in the House, but this work was an example during a changing political scene that people from opposing parties could still work together. The second, and most recent
event, that I could think of was during the health-care vote. I remember (I was watching C-SPAN at the time, like every college student does, right?) … McCain arrived as one of the last senators to vote, at around 2 in the morning D.C. time, walked up to the clerk, and extended his arm. He then stood for a moment and gave a thumbs down. He looked over at the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, turned around, and walked to his seat. Democrats in the Senate couldn’t contain themselves. What they thought was going to be a party-line vote was disrupted by a few senators, including McCain, reaching across the aisle, saying that work ALONGSIDE the Democrats needed to be done. This was something he noted in a speech on the Senate floor just before a key health-care vote: “Let’s trust each other. Let’s return to regular order. We have been spinning our wheels on too many important issues because we keep trying to find a way to win without help from

across the aisle … We are getting nothing done, my friends. We are getting nothing done.” This speech was made after he was diagnosed with brain cancer. It was at this time that McCain must have realized the importance of trying to get things done right for the American people, not trying to get things done right by his party,
and that was advice he wanted to share with others before it was too late. Did McCain sometimes vote, and speak, in a partisan manner? Certainly. All politicians have. But when it came down to it, McCain knew what was important: working together, listening to one another … trusting one another. This
is advice that we MUST follow, especially now. Our country is bitterly divided, and McCain knew it. The country he loved was being split apart. He didn’t get to see the country begin working together while he was alive, but perhaps in his death, we will heed his words and begin to see our system work like it’s supposed to.

JUUL use is foolish, considering health concerns JUUL use has become a nationwide trend for young adults and teenagers. However, the subtle consequences of taking a couple hits is distressing, and use should be limited to avoid severe nicotine addiction and potential lung disease.
NICHOLE SHAW
nichole-shaw@uiowa.edu It’s no secret that JUUL has become the single most successful e-cigarette on the market; its popularity has skyrocketed since its release in 2015. We even see JUULs being used right here on our campus, despite the UI’s zero-tolerance policy of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes. According to a UI Student Health & Wellness 2018
report, e-cigarette use increased by a substantial 25 percent since 2016 while all other forms of tobacco use decreased. This is because the perceived risk of e-cigarettes was low and not on the radar of most students. This spike in use led to the recent creation of an e-cigarette advisory group by Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller. Truth Initiative reports that 63 percent of consumers don’t know that JUULs contain nicotine. That is alarming. That more than half of JUUL consumers don’t know what they are putting into their bodies shows a lack of understanding about the true impact and consequences that JUULs can have. They contain nicotine salt from leaf tobacco in every
fun-flavored pod, and the e-cigarette is based on an IT design aimed to resemble a similar experience to smoking a real cigarette. The absorbed nicotine level after each hit is significantly higher than with a regular cigarette, according to studies done by Jeffrey Willett, the vice president of Schroeder Institute. Willett found “the amount of nicotine in one JUUL cartridge is roughly equal to a pack of cigarettes.” It is my impression from social media and personal contacts that most believe JUULs are not significantly harmful to a person’s health or wellness because the e-cigarette doesn’t contain any carcinogenic substances. However, use is harmful. JUUL’s accessibility enables
an easy slip into serious nicotine addiction, especially for those under 25 whose brains are still developing. “For a brain to get that much nicotine at once is scary,” said Stephanie Beecher, UI Student Health & Wellness senior behavioral health consultant. Nicotine addiction changes the brain chemically and hinders development while it slows a lot of processes down, Beecher said. “When you add in all the potential unknowns, that’s scary,” she said about the unknown long-term effects of JUUL use. The amount of ignorance and naïveté surrounding JUUL use is concerning. If you don’t know what you’re putting into your body, you shouldn’t consume it. Beecher, who oversees the
outreach and consultation for tobacco cessation, said the use of e-cigarettes to try to quit smoking is ineffective and not a recognized method. This is in part because e-cigarettes allow high nicotine intake, lack of regulation, and easy accessibility. Marketing has shown e-cigarettes and the tobacco industry specifically target a younger consumer audience.“Adding flavoring [diacetyl] to e-cigarettes appeals to younger kids,” Beecher said. “Some of those flavors, when you heat them, are actually dangerous and can cause lung issues [because when you heat an element, you’re changing the chemical structure].” Beecher also made it clear that the so-called “juice” in a JUUL pod is not water vapor
but actually aerosol, a common misconception when vaping. There are a number of different reasons that people choose to use e-cigarettes. It could be peer pressure starting in high school and carried on through college. It could also be some sort of an escape from the high stress of taxing academics. I reached out to numerous students for comment. All declined. We were supposed to be the generation to end smoking and nicotine addiction. Now, we’ll be known as the generation that sparked even more serious nicotine addiction and potential lung diseases. Is the flavor of a JUUL pod and how the smoke looked in our camera lens on Snapchat really worth it?

A little kindness can go a long way In light of tragic events, we should come together as a community to be more conscious of the people around us.
ZOHAR NADLER
zohar-nadler@uiowa.edu In lieu of the three local tragic deaths this past week, we must turn the adversity the UI community experience into empowerment. We must prioritize being kind people who are more mindful of those around us and recognize the
sacredness of life that each individual has. As competitive college students in a tech-driven era, it is extremely easy to get caught up in our own worlds — work, class, homework, student organizations, you name it. Despite our busy lives, we must remind ourselves to spread kindness and compassion to others. We should be cognizant of our words and the deep meaning they hold when shared with someone else. Spreading goodwill to the person next to you in class, or the person checking you out at the IMU, or someone you haven’t talked to much in your
student organization isn’t that hard. Spread altruism and understanding, because as Hawkeyes, we must look out for one another. A small act of service holds deep significance. This can be anything from helping someone who dropped something, giving classmates next to you a pencil because they forgot theirs, or even showing appreciation for a professor whose lecture you enjoyed. After all, you never know what challenges the person beside you faces. An act of kindness by a stranger could lift people up when they need it most.

‘There seems to be a misconception that if you are “too kind” to others that you are weak, a pushover...

I invite Hawkeyes to challenge this misconception. According to the National Alliance of Mental Health, practicing Loving-Kindness, a mindfulness exercise that
an attitude of unconditional friendliness toward others. The alliance has research that indicates the more Loving-Kindness we spread to others, the more we realize the inherent connection we have. After all, what matters most in our lives is the quality relation-
ships we hold with others. More so, science-based benefits show that practicing Loving-Kindness reduces stress and self-criticism. It also decreases bias toward others, increases empathy, and improves social connectedness. To those reading this, I ask that you do a small act of kindness today and every day for someone in honor of the adversity our campus has faced. Humanity relies on kindness for its prosperity and success. We must always remember the positive impact our words and actions can make. Let’s spread Loving-Kindness like we spread Hawkeye pride.

y@uiowa.edu rd u c c m le a h ic CCURDY | m u BY MICHAEL M tortz@uiowa.ed -s h ra a s | Z T R SARAH STO Five music acts will offer their own personal genres and sounds in their attempts to take home the gold at Battle of the Bands tonight. With this being SCOPE’s second iteration of the Battle of the Bands, talent buyer Savannah Lane wants to build on last year’s success by including more diversity among the participants on stage and in the genres of music echoing throughout the amphitheatere. “We definitely wanted it to be more diverse this year, and after looking at the lineup, I’m proud to say we accomplished that with genres of music ranging from ska, metal, folk, and hip-hop,” Lane said. “It’ll be an environment in which I think any students in attendance will able to find something they like.” Here are the five acts performing at the Battle of the Bands.
Nongrata
Searching on Craigslist, Joe Gephart, lead singer for Nongrata, wanted to find a new musical niche after moving to Iowa City. Once he came upon an ad looking for a metal singer, he took the chance to meet with the band members, then reported that he immediately felt right at home. “I grew up in a family where all kinds of music [was] appreciated. I constantly had influences from country to rap to rock,” Gephart said. “One thing that drew me to rock ’n’ roll and metal is that whenever you have something in your life that you’re struggling with, whether that be family issues or friend issues, the messages the songs have are very supportive.” Taking influence from bands such as Metallica and Slipknot, Gephart said the band doesn’t necessarily try to emulate those sounds but more so the groups’ attitude and

effect. Gephart said he hopes his band will appeal to those unfamiliar with metal music. “We’re unique in the way in that we’re trying to take some of the heavier music that’s kind of popular and make it a little more attainable,” Gephart said. “We want those people to try to branch out and explore some more musical boundaries.”
Scamper
Toward the end of his sophomore year, Braden Goyke, the bass player for Scamper, was approached by his friend, Peter Dressel, to start a band. After gathering some of their friends from Waukee High School, the band has remained together for two years. The group specializes in playing punk and alternative music, which Goyke has long been drawn by. “It’s sad and lyrically driven, but something about it, I always had a lot of fun listening to,” he said. “Peter and I bonded a lot over it.” The band members were familiar with SCOPE and its Battle of the Bands. Throughout the summer, Goyke said, the members considered applying but felt hesitant thinking they wouldn’t be accepted. With only a few minutes to spare, they sent in an application on the last day, with Goyke calling it “a stroke of luck.” For this year, he said, the audience members will have a large selection of music they’ll enjoy listening to. “At the very least, if you don’t want to see us or our style of music, the other bands playing are going to be really awesome,” he said. “There’s something for everyone there, so take a chance on it.”

The Miseducation of Cameron Post is based on the novel by Emily M. Danforth. Cameron Post (Chloë Grace Moretz) is sent to God’s Promise, a center for “gay-conversion-therapy,” after being caught in a same-sex relationship with her girlfriend (Quinn Shephard). The center is led by Dr. Lydia Marsh (Jennifer Ehle) and her conniving “disciples,” who suggest the patients can be “cured” of their gender identities and expressions. Cameron and the patients must band together to endure the discrimination and mistreatment while forging an escape from the center. The Miseducation of Cameron Post won the U.S. Grand Jury Prize: Dramatic at the Sundance Film Festival. It will open at FilmScene on Friday.

ONSTRUCK
The Mowglis, known for its hits “I’m Good” and “San Francisco,” released the EP I Was Starting to Wonder on Aug. 17, featuring four songs with the band’s classic summer vibe. While the album was released at the end of summer, so it has a more reminiscent tone, the theme of the collection is hope. As in, thinking positively and running with the belief that life is OK, despite any obstacles. The song “Kansas City” is an ode to either Kansas or Missouri and a longing to be there. However, the band is originally from Calabasas, California. The track is the only one of the EP with more melancholy lyrics as ittells the story of moving away from Kansas City to escape the problemsthe writer experienced while living there, only to discover that hisissues cannot solved that easily. Despite the honest lyrics, it ismasked with a buoyant melody. The other songs on the EP, “I Feel Good About This,”“Best of Us,” and“Real Good Life,” are each love songs to living life and sailing on the current. Song pick: “I Feel Good About This” — Natalie Betz

BATTLE CONTINUED FROM 1B Mystic Cats
Sharing an admiration for several musical figures, a few friends from the Hawkeye Marching Band came together to make a horn band that specializes in covers. The Mystic Cats originally began as a ska ensemble when the members formed it three years ago. Teagan Kiel, a vocalist and guitarist for Mystic Cats, said the band covers a wide range of artists, such as the Beatles, Kanye West, and Outkast. “There are so many influential people who make music in this world,” Kiel said. “It’s really inspiring to see all of these people be creative and make all these kinds of music … we like to give every part of that and show everyone that there’s so many beautiful things happening from art and from music from so many different genres.”
One of his band members sent him a link to apply for the Battle of the Bands, seeing it as a good opportunity for the group to have a public appearance. The band previously had a few gigs, with its first being at Gabe’s at the beginning of June. “That one was really special for me because it was the first time I had gotten on stage and performed in that setting,” Kiel said. “I’m sure that was very special for the rest of the band members as well.”
Average
The story behind Average originates in the hallways of Currier, as two freshmen, Jude Abogye and Rhedt Roelandt, bonded over their similar tastes in music and their drive to do something with it. Most of thei duo’s written material so far is a product of Abogye and his songwriting, and listeners can expect Roelandt to belt out those lyrics on lead vocals. “It was just me starting out writing rap lyrics, and from there, it’s grown into more of a natural process to a point where we don’t have to force anything,” Abogye said. “In the early days, I figured the more I write down, the better. I feel like as a writer,
that’s something you got to figure out yourself.” The performance is rather important to Abogye and Roelandt, because it will be their first time playing in front of an audience. The two do not seem too nervous, rather, they appear to be excited to showcase their talent with other student acts in a fun and welcoming environment. “There’s already a lot of talent and culture in Iowa City, it’s just about exploring it and finding where it’s at,” Roelandt said. “I think the Battle of the Bands is a great example of showing that college students are getting an education, but we also have more to bring to the table.”
Dandelion Seminary
The UI’s Clara Reynen is Dandelion Seminary. As a “one-woman band,” she will take the Hubbard Park stage alone, ready to showcase her lifelong passion for music. For Reynen, performing on a stage is nothing new; she spends much of her time acting in the UI’s Theater Department while also spreading laughter throughout Iowa City in open mics as a standup comedian. With that being said, the
stage, especially this one, is still nerve-racking. “If I’m in a play and people do not like the show, it’s not entirely on me; I can point them to the direction of the bad script,” Reynen joked. “But with music, it’s all on me; the stakes are a lot higher.” Around the age of 4, Reynen got started by taking piano lessons, learning mostly the classics. She still plays piano, though she has grown fonder of guitar. She said her lack of guitar experience allows her to break the rules and be more creative when she makes music. Reynen tends to call her songs children’s music for grownups, with stories about little, everyday things that one can take and turn into something special. She is also grateful for SCOPE and its effort to helplocalbandsattempttogetontothemusicscene. “This is my first live show as an established act, which I think is really great, because I don’t know how to get into the music scene in Iowa City, and I feel like SCOPE provides a launching point where I can début myself to give me the confidence to seek other venues,” Reynen said.
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Using film as form of protest, exploration UI student Tristen Ives investigates complex topics, inlcuding issues of sexism, through experimentation with film. BY MADISON LOTENSCHTEIN
madison-lotenschtein @uiowa.edu Hands, a human system of manipulating our environment, are the most associated physical trait when art comes out to play. Painting, drawing, writing, and ceramics are located at the top of the list of “what art is” for the general population. However, for the artistically inclined Tristen Ives, art thrives on the screen.
FAST FACTS Hometown: Marion, IA Year in School: Senior Age: 22 Top artist she listens to: St. Vincent, Mitski, and Michete Dream Dream place to live: Seattle Dream place to work: For myself as an independent experimental filmmaker Favorite place for a late-night bite: John’s Grocery Favorite movie: Rushmore Last song stuck in her head: “PRIDE” (Kendrick Lamar) Instagram: thoughts_from_a_bathroom_stall
The University of Iowa senior considers her films to be experimental. Some of her films are meant to form a silent protest against inward phenomena. Her film “Jelly,” touches on the word “childhood,” and uses appetite as a way to communicate childhood trauma. Moreover, Ives communicates how trauma crafts itself into what others consider to be detrimental for an adolescent. “Jelly” also exhibits memories that lack foundation. “Childhood is not something you actively live in,” Ives said in her film. “Childhood is a memory.” Her other film, “Gaze,” touches on the oppression and expressions of women in the film industry. “It’s about the do’s, and don’ts, and be carefuls of Hollywood,” Ives said. “Women are still facing sexism by filmmakers, and sexist films continue to be praised by many.” Before she switched her gaze to the screen, Ives leapt into the university with an expectation of spotlights and ballet slippers. When dance lost its appeal, she switched to an art major for a year. After taking a film class, she fell for the artistic platform. Given her new academic pursuits, Ives serves on the Bijou Film Board as the executive finance director and a projectionist at FilmScene. As a senior, Ives plans to move to Seattle and work at an independent art house or theater and to keep experimenting with her unique film style. “I have held this student identity for so long; I can’t imagine life without assignments,“ Ives said. “But I can feel change happening and feel that it’s a pivotal moment to put myself out there. When you’re out of school, you can’t use the excuse of, ‘Well, my art isn’t as good today because I had homework last night.’ ” Upon graduation, she won’t have the excuse of school to fall back on anymore. Ives will have an adequate amount of time and resources to pursue her artistry to its fullest extent.

HAWKEYE UPDATES Big 10 announces football schedules for 2022-25
The Iowa football schedule for 2022-25 has been released by the Big Ten, and it most notably includes the return of day-after-Thanksgiving games against Nebraska. In 2020 and 2021, Iowa’s schedule has changed so the season ends with matchups against Wisconsin. Nebraska will return to Kinnick for the Hy-Vee Heroes game in 2022, with Iowa heading to Lincoln the next season. In addition to Nebraska, in 2022 the Hawkeyes will play host to Michigan, Northwestern, and Wisconsin. The next season Purdue, Rutgers, Michigan State, Minnesota, and Illinois will make appearances in Kinnick. Nonconference opponents that have been agreed on to this point for 2022-25 are South Dakota State, Illinois State, and Northern Illinois. The contract between Iowa and Iowa State is still to be agreed upon.

KINNICK TURF BEING CLEARED AFTER FLOODING Portions of the playing surface at Kinnick Stadium were filled with water following the storm that hit Iowa City on Tuesday night. The Iowa Athletics Department and the stadium’s field-management team will clean the turf over the next two days to get the field ready for Saturday’s 2:40 p.m. kickoff. The storm was responsible for the water, mud, and gravel that ended up on the playing surface, and the debris was unrelated to the ongoing construction in the north end zone.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“I think you were
going to ask about the headsets. We got a memo two days ago on that. So whatever it is, it’s Aug. 26. Can you imagine us getting a memo on headsets on Aug. 26? Is that the dumbest thing in the world? Not to bring that up, but I just did intentionally. How ridiculous is that?”

anna-kayser@uiowa.edu The Iowa offensive line could have a tough time holding back the Northern Illinois defense on Saturday without its two prominent tackles. Tristan Wirfs and Alaric Jackson were suspended this summer following events that broke team rules.
Jackson, who redshirted in 2016, started at left tackle for every game of the 2017 regular season. Five games into 2017, Wirfs came in as his counterpart at right tackle and rode the starting spot out through the end of the season. In place of the familiar starting duo, the Hawkeyes have slated redshirt freshman Mark Kallenberger and senior Dalton Ferguson for the first starts of their careers.

Young women’s tennis team eyes fresh start BY CODY SMITH

The Big Ten is a competitive conference from top to bottom. Pregame Editor Adam Hensley and Sports Editor Pete Ruden unveil their power rankings heading into Week 1 of the college-football season.
Dwayne Haskins is a Heisman sleeper. The man could easily tear up the Big Ten and make Buckeye fans quickly forget J.T. Barrett. Ohio State could vie for a national title this season. Anything short of a Big Ten Championship appearance is a disappointment for Ohio State.

2018 is the Year of the Dog, according to the Chinese New Year. But in Big Ten football, it’s the year of the Badger. Revenge will be on their minds as the trek to the College Football Playoffs begins.
Approximately zero Big Ten games have been played, and I already miss watching Saquon Barkley highlights. Still, Trace Mc-
The return of students to campus also marks the time in which Iowa women’s tennis gets back into the swing of things for its upcoming season. The Hawkeyes will bring back just four players from the 201718 roster, including lone senior Adorabol Huckleby. The others are sophomore Danielle Burich, sophomore Danielle Bauers, and junior Elise van HuevelSchmid en Treadwell. Four incoming freshmen and one sophomore transfer student will fill out the revamped roster. “We are definitely excited to get the season underway,” head coach Sasha Schmid said. “We are still getting used to each other since this is a new team, but we are building our chemistry and learning about each other each and every day.” The Hawkeye chemistry will need some time to rebuild before Iowa’s first match at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Central Regionals on Oct. 12 in Iowa City. The opening tournament will provide a great chance for some of the younger athletes to gain experience for the spring season. New additions Michelle Bacalla, Sophie Clark, Samantha Mannix, Cloe Ruette, and transfer Ashleigh Jacobs will get a chance find out what Hawkeye tennis is all about. When speaking about her freshman class,

– Iowa football head coach Kirk Ferentz on getting a memo about headsets during Week 1 of the season
Five out of nine athletes on the Iowa women’s tennis roster are new to the team this season. Four athletes on the team are freshmen, with one newcomer transferring as a sophomore.
“Anytime you go in shorthanded at any position, it’s a concern,” head coach Kirk Ferentz said. “To have two guys out at one position is not ideal. The good news is right now we have three guys that I think have practiced well.” Ferguson, Kallenberger, and junior Levi Paulsen are being considered for playing time
