Protest targets UI lecturer, citing harassment warning On Thursday, a group rallied against UI business Lecturer Jeffrey Nock, who was accused of harassment in the spring. He is still employed by the UI.

Previously deregistered student groups return After being deregistered this summer for not adhering to the UI human-rights policy, some of the 38 recently reinstated student organizations attended Thursday’s Student Organization Fair at the IMU. This comes amid pending lawsuits against the UI filed by Business Leaders in Christ and InterVarsity.

KID CAPTAIN

Rural pharmacies close, leaving customers flat

Ten-year-old Gwen White likes sports, Kirk Ferentz, and Herky. Despite being diagnosed with juvenile dermatomyositis, she is all smiles. Today, she is in full remission.

More than 16 percent of independent pharmacies shut down between March 2003 and March 2018 in the United States.

As Kirk and Company return to Kinnick Stadium on Saturday, the Kid Captain program takes to the field once again as well for the start of the program’s 10th-anniversary year.

Kid Captain is a partnership program between the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital and the Hawkeye Athletics Department that helps share pediatric patients’ stories.

The program started in 2009.

The first Kid Captain of the season is 10-year-old Gwen White of West Burlington, Iowa. Gwen was diagnosed with juvenile dermatomyositis, a disease affecting 3 out of 1 million children every year.

Oddly enough, Gwen is one of three children in her town who have the disease.

Research conducted by Center for Rural Health Policy Analysis at the University of Iowa suggests more than 16 percent of independent pharmacies shut down permanently between March 2003 and March 2018 in the U.S. The Rural Health Center is a part of the Rural Policy Research Institute in the College of Public Health.

“We acquire data on a regular basis that tell us where all the retail pharmacies are in the country and whether they are a chain pharmacy like Walgreens or an independent pharmacy and have one outlet,” said Professor Keith Mueller, the senior author of the study.

Every year, a document is released that updates the number of pharmacies that have closed, he said.

Mueller said a big reason for the decline in rural independent pharmacies is the implementation of Medicare Part D in 2006.

Previously, patients paid pharmacies directly for their medication. With the introduction of Part D, however, he said, private insurance companies could negotiate prices of medication with pharmacies.

harassment this past spring.

Law-enforcement officials and witnesses at the Campus Recreation & Wellness Center reported that Nock was taking photographs of women while they exercised; he was subsequently issued criminal trespassing and harassment warnings in April.

A harassment warning does not carry a legal consequence until it is violated, which can lead to harassment or other criminal charges.

Nock began teaching at the UI as an adjunct lecturer in 2012, and he was named a lecturer in 2014. Nock was also president and CEO of Goodwill of the Heartland from 2008-2012 but resigned because of a personnel issue.

PHARMACIES CONTINUED FROM FRONT the finance dynamics for pharmacies,” Mueller said.

“The end result of that was a contributing factor to a sharp decline in local rural pharmacies and the implementation of the program.”

The decline has continued since then; however, the pace has slowed, Mueller said. The issues pharmacies have also evolved.

“If you’re a large chain pharmacy, you might be able to absorb that, and, particularly if you’re a Walgreens, that’s keeping your business profitable and keeping your business in store,” he said.

There was an initial shock because of the change in revenue and business operations that came with dealing with insurance firms and their price structure, Mueller said.

“Our focus was on the closure of the only pharmacy in the area,” he said. “This isn’t a matter of a Walgreens or a CVS coming out and the local independent closing.”

That has occurred in Iowa, too, Mueller said. “[However], because of

our geography, it would not have the same effect as it would in North or South Dakota, where communities are smaller and farther apart,” he said.

No pharmacy in an area means people don’t have service for quite some distance, he said.

Coauthor Fred Ullrich said people living in rural areas can still get their pharmaceuticals on the internet; however, other services cannot be found.

“So, you don’t get things like blood-glucose monitoring, immunization, [and] counseling,” he said. “It’s an important [part], because if you are relying on mail-order pharmaceuticals, the people on the other side are really not paying attention to whether they all should be prescribed or used at the same time …”

Tess de Jesus-Roetlin, who owns Pharmacy on 8th, an independent pharmacy in Wellman, Iowa, said the establishment has seen a decline in sales because of Medicare Part D around 2007.

tions with him at the Rec Center and after hearing a multitude of stories from friends and students on campus.

While Nock is banned from recreation facilities until October, his contract to continue teaching at the UI was renewed two weeks after charges were filed against him. Nock was allowed to teach summer courses and lead a program helping students to launch their own businesses.

After seeking comment from Tippie Dean Sarah Gardial, the Office of Strategic Communications said in an email to The Daily Iowan: “Jeff Nock is still employed by the university but is not teaching this fall. We have nothing further to share.”

“I think it’s just really ridiculous that not only is the university not firing perpetrators, which is inherently abhorrent, but on top of that, students are going to be distracted from their education because there are perpetrators teaching,” said UI student Elena Greene, an advocate against sexual violence.

Reimer began to protest Nock’s employment during the summer, making sure to be visible during Orientation and campus tours. She first went outside Pappajohn, but the tours were “immediately rerouted,” she said.

“I really wanted parents and students to see my sign and question whether or not they wanted their son or daughter to attend a school that would employ a serial sexual harasser,” she said.

Reimer then moved to the

IMU, where she was told by a building manager that if she entered the facility, the UI would consider it trespassing.

The main goal of the protests, Reimer said, is to focus more attention on the case.

She believes the UI would have ignored the case if the media and students had not been informed, she said. She also wants to know why Nock has been allowed to continue lecturing at the UI, and she would like some answers from the university, she said.

When asked to point to a specific UI policy that allows Nock to remain a UI employee, the Office of Strategic Communications did not comment on Nock’s status but referred generally to Chapers 4 and 14 in the UI Operations Manual regarding sexual harassment and anti-harassment.

Those involved with the protests, both current and future, hope to get answers about the ongoing legal proceedings, as well as to increase engagement with the case on campus.

The DI previously reported that the police investigation into Nock’s conduct was not active but could become active again should he violate the harassment warning.

“I can’t feel good about sitting in class when I know that [Nock] is still employed with the university and that the people in my community feel unsafe,” Greene said. “I’m going to stand with them, and I’ll choose that over class every time. I wish the university wouldn’t force me to have that choice to make.”

Student orgs return after deregistration After the UI deregistered 38 student organizations this summer for not complying with the school’s human-rights policy, some of them were in attendance at Thursday’s Student Organization Fair after being reinstated.

BY ELIANNA NOVITCH

elianna-novitch@uiowa.edu After the Univresity of Iowa deregistered 38 organizations this summer for their failure to adhere to the university’s human-rights policy while the university is in the middle of a pending lawsuit, some of the recently reinstated student organizations were in attendance at Thursday’s Student Organization Fair.

Some of the groups that were in attendance at the organization fair included Chinese Student Christian Fellowship, InterVarsity Graduate Christian Fellowship, Business Leaders in Christ, and College Young Life.

“We’re glad to be back. It means a lot to us to be a student organization,” Director of College Young Life James Tutson said. “College Young Life is for all students, and

we’re glad to be for all students and have an organization where every student is welcome.”

Tutson said the organization was deregistered because of conflict between different parts of the Young Life organization when it came to beliefs. Conversations with the organization’s main department allowed them to work out what it means to be on a college campus and how to be

inclusive of all students.

Earlier this summer, the UI contacted all registered student organizations asking them to submit documentation to ensure they were abiding by the human-rights policy. Specifically, the UI asked groups to remove language from their constitutions that required its leaders to share the group’s beliefs.

Of the more than 500 student organizations on cam-

KID CAPTAIN CONTINUED FROM FRONT But getting officially diagnosed with the disease was more complicated than Gwen and her family had hope for, Gwen’s mother, Kerstin Quattromini said.

Gwen’s journey started in 2016 when she started to become increasingly immobile.

“She was super tired and weak,” Quattromini said.

“She had a rash on her hands and elbows, and we kept going back to the pediatrician.”

Gwen then went through numerous creams to try to cure what doctors thought was eczema, but her condition kept worsening. Her gym teacher told Quattromini that Gwen wasn’t participating in class because she was too tired.

Then, one day, Gwen jumped down some stairs in her home and hurt her ankle. After some X-rays, doctors said she had a small fracture, and she was put in a boot for eight weeks.

Quattromini said Gwen’s rash persisted after the boot came off, and she didn’t quite bounce back.

“We noticed little things — she couldn’t get out of bed or lift herself up,” she said. “We were like, ‘Well, maybe something else is going on.’ ” After a couple visits to a dermatologist about the rash in March 2017, the dermatologist decided to do a skin biopsy. Quattromini said it was painful, but Gwen wanted to know what was wrong, so she endured it.

Once the results came back from the Mayo Clinic, Quattromini said, she received a call telling her to immediately go to the UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital.

“Getting the news was hard,” she said. “I went to the school, and scooped up Gwen, and explained to her what was going on and that she would have to start aggressive treatment, but in my head, I didn’t really

know what that meant.”

UI pediatrics Assistant Professor Scott Lieberman, Gwen’s physician, said the 10-year-old is an amazing young person who has dealt with a lot at the Children’s Hospital but maintains a positive attitude.

“She always has a smile on at her visits,” he said.

“She always comes prepared with thoughtful questions about symptoms or medications. I am impressed by how much she takes charge of her overall health and medical experience. I am very happy she has the honor of being a Kid Captain.”

After Gwen’s initial treatment, which included a lot of physical therapy beause of the weakened muscles, Quattromini said Gwen’s treatment now consists of monthly infusions and 13 pills a day.

“At first, it was super scary, and I was really nervous, but after a while, I settled down, and then it got easier,” Gwen said.

Quattromini said the doctors and nurses were all amazing, and right now, Gwen said, she feels great and is in medical remission — so her disease is not currently active.

Now, Gwen enjoys playing sports in her backyard and has taken an interest in band at school.

“One of my favorite sports is soccer, and I was thinking about getting into volleyball pretty soon here,” she said. “I was thinking about doing saxophone at school but decided to do the clarinet instead.”

pus that were contacted, 38 failed to comply. Among the 38 were a variety of religious groups of different faith backgrounds, including InterVarsity Graduate Christian Fellowship.

InterVarsity filed a lawsuit against the university after being deregistered, arguing that its constitutional rights had been violated and that it should be allowed to participate on campus as an active student organization.

“When InterVarsity filed its lawsuit, it wasn’t just [that group] that was deregistered,” Becket Fund for Religious Liberty attorney Daniel Blomberg said. “It was the Sikh Awareness Club, the Imam Mahdi Muslim group, the Latter Day Saints group, the Chinese Christian Club — there were a bunch of different groups that had these same core religious commitments from different faith backgrounds that were also deregistered.”

Becket Fund is representing both InterVarsity and Business Leaders in Christ, another UI student organization, in their lawsuits against the UI. “When InterVarsity filed its lawsuit, it ended up negotiating an agreement with the university that not only got InterVarsity back on campus but allowed all of the religious groups who had been deregistered to be able to participate on campus again,” Blomberg said.

InterVarsity declined to comment on its participation in the Student Organization Fair and its lawsuit against the UI. The UI sent an email to student organizations on Aug. 13 alerting them of their reinstatement.

“Any student organization

having indicated ‘Spiritual & Religious’ as a First, Second, or Third Category will be considered a Registered Student Organization until the litigation against the UI involving student organizations is resolved,” Vice President for Student Life Melissa Shivers said in the email. “If your student organization has been deregistered or your student organization’s status is pending, your student organization is considered a Registered Student Organization.”

The UI’s enforcement of its human-rights policy comes after a federal judge ruled that it was unequally enforcing its policy when it deregistered Business Leaders in Christ. The university found merit in a complaint made against the organization by then-UI sophomore Marcus Miller. He said the group revoked a leadership position from him upon finding out he was gay.

The group filed a lawsuit against the UI, arguing that the school was singling out the organization. A judge later sided with the student group and ordered the university to reinstate the organization until the lawsuit is resolved.

Blomberg said that until the lawsuits are settled, the student organizations will be able to be active on campus, and they have to be treated equally. Business Leaders in Christs and InterVarsity’s lawyers will submit evidence to the federal judge and hope to have a ruling in the spring or early summer of 2019.

“That evidence, we think, is going to be pretty overwhelming and show that the university still isn’t treating religious groups equally,” Blomberg said.

Quattromini said Gwen is excited about the Hawkeye game, and while they were visiting the hospital earlier this week for an infusion, Gwen wanted to take a picture next to a Kid Captain sign with her picture on it.

Gwen, who is a fan of head football coach Kirk Ferentz and Herky the Hawk, said she looks forward to being

on the field Saturday.

“I think it will be really fun to do The Wave on the field,” she said.

When asked if she knows what she wants to be when she grows up, she had a quick and confident answer.

“I want to be a [physician’s assistant],” she said.

“I want to go to the University of Iowa.”

Pressing problem of street harassment Street harassment against women exists in often unnoticed, yet entirely fear-ridden ways in almost every environment.

Tossing frozen meals into our cart, we moved from aisle to aisle. It was the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday, and we were grocery shopping. And again, like a shadow, he shifted a few feet behind us throughout every section, every aisle, never losing sight of us, never falling out of step with us.

When my back was turned, he brushed past my roommate, hurling vulgar comments in our direction. Unfiltered. In the broad light of day. And still, entirely unseen by the people wedged in the crowded grocery store.

It was easy to feel fear then, just as it has been countless times before. Stopping at gas stations where

Eyeing a frozen pizza, turning it over in his hands, feigning interest, putting it back, and flitting eyes over at us again. Moving when we moved.

the man at the register restarts the transaction three times, just so he can keep me standing there listening to his crude and sexist remarks a moment longer. Or navigating my way through a campus that feels calm and easy during the day, yet cold and unfamiliar at night.

On the edge of harassment toward women, somewhere between friendly and entirely unfair, is the common, everyday occurances of street harassment. It exists on street corners, dwells in coffee shops, and finds itself in between classes.

And before the devastating problem of assault is addressed with Title IX complaints or lawsuits, there

lies the low blows of casual attacks against women that push an entire gender population into crippling fear and anxiety.

Stop Street Harassment, a nonprofit organization committed to documenting and ending gender-based harassment, identifies these blows as leering, honking and whistling, sexually explicit and sexist comments, vulgar gestures, kissing noises, following, blocking paths, sexual touching or grabbing, and more.

A recent NPR survey found that 81 percent of women have been sexually or street harassed in public places, including verbal and physical harassment.

These aggressions find their way onto campus, into grocery stores, at gas stations, crosswalks, and in every corner of day and night, and they move in making women feel isolated, inferior, uncomfortable, and afraid.

Moving back to Iowa City late this summer brought with it an unfamiliar fear that led me to talking with my roommates, my friends, and other members of my community to find out whether these experiences are shared. And with every woman I talked with — they are. Even more so, an alarming number of them claimed to carry pepper spray or Tasers with them at all times for self-defense.

The problem of street harassment isn’t grounded in what women wear, what aisle of the grocery store they’ve made their way down, or how late at night they’re pumping gas. The problem is that some men seem to flex dominance in devastatingly deprecating ways toward women by following them, tossing inappropriate and aggressive comments at them, and using their position to push women into a place of utter fear.

And perhaps, in order to put a permanent stop to street harassment, we have to start by paying more attention and recognizing the beginnings of harassment before it ends in assault.

Iowa police, Legislature must address profiling A viral video of a traffic stop in Des Moines has drawn attention to racial profiling in Iowa. Addressing it is necessary to protect all Iowans. man. That’s it.”

Footage of this stop and search, captured on squadcar and body-camera video, has been viewed more than 10 million times since being posted online earlier this month. Thies told the driver, 23-year-old Montray Little, to step out of the car or go to jail. Little was handcuffed and questioned by Thies, while 21-year-old passenger Jared Clinton was questioned by Officer Natalie Heinemann. Despite Thies’ claiming he saw “shake” (marijuana) in the car, the search found nothing, and the two men were let go.

Now, Little and Clinton, who are black, have filed a lawsuit alleging racial profiling.

ISABELLA ROSARIO

isabella-rosario@uiowa.edu “Your buddy’s giving me the idea that maybe he’s got a gun,” said Des Moines police Officer Kyle Thies.

“That’s what I think.”

“How?” one of the men asked.

“I don’t know,” the officer said. “Just the way, I mean, just the way you’re holding yourself, man.

That’s why we’re nervous,

Sgt. Paul Parizek has said Thies made 253 arrests in 2017, and 50 percent of those arrested were black. Only 11 percent of the Des Moines population is black, according to census data.

It’s worth waiting to see the results of the incident’s lawsuit and ongoing investigation. But that racial profiling is a problem in Iowa is nothing new.

In 2015, Iowa City minority drivers were around twice as likely to be arrested during a traffic stop as white and Asian drivers, according to St. Ambrose University researchers. According to a brief by the Iowa-Nebraska Conference of the NAACP, in Linn County, black drivers are 25 percent more

likely than white drivers to be cited rather than warned when stopped for a traffic violation. In Scott County, black drivers are 37 percent more likely to be stopped for traffic violations than white drivers and almost twice as likely to be arrested after a stop.

In addition to traffic-stop disparities, Iowa also disproportionately imprisons minorities. In 2016, Iowa had the fourth-highest incarceration rate for blacks, according to the Sentencing Project. At the time, blacks were imprisoned at 11 times the rate of whites.

And despite research showing blacks and whites use marijuana at similar rates, blacks in Iowa are 8.3 times

more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana possession, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.

The NAACP and the ACLU of Iowa are pushing a bill introduced this year in the Iowa Senate that would prohibit racial-profiling. Iowa is one of 20 states that doesn’t have such a law. Civil-rights organizations have also asked Gov. Kim Reynolds to establish a racial profiling study committee. A spokeswoman for Reynolds said the committee is under consideration.

Efforts at the city and community level are important. The Iowa City police training on implicit bias has helped greatly decrease

disproportionate minority contact. And the University of Iowa Department of Public Safety recently opened a similar program to the public.

But racial profiling must be addressed at the state level to protect all Iowans.

Passing a law banning racial profiling and creating a committee to study the issue would be good first steps.

Conversations about race and policing often generate hostility. But it’s not anti-police to say that law enforcement officials are human beings, and therefore susceptible to the same biases as the rest of us. Ending systemic racial profiling will be a challenge. It’s time that our state at least tries.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

Thoughts on Asian on-screen representation Recently, there have been numerous highly anticipated movies and television shows featuring Asian cast members in authentic roles. After showing members of the UI community trailers for “Surina and Mel,” To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, and Crazy Rich Asians, they were asked if representation on-screen would affect how Asians are viewed in society. This is how they answered.

NIDHI PATEL

“In many cases, with Asian representation, the extremes of the surface level are considered the same for everyone, but there are so many different dialects and cultures in Asia. I think this is a good start and will keep people informed on the basis of Asian cultures. I also think it may become dangerous, that Asian people will be considered by one story, while there are thousands of us — not everyone will feel correctly represented.”

“Since I was young, there were lots of stereotypes that Asians tended to be perfect students and involved in music or debate while not being socially popular.

Movies featuring Asians increases the dimensions of what consists within an Asian’s life. Especially in the Midwest, the amount of diversity is relatively lower than on the coasts, so representation in movies does change how Asians are perceived.”

“I watched To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, and I really liked how they had an Asian woman as the lead. [Representation] would be really inspiring to young people from numerous backgrounds, because they don’t get to see people who look like them represented as a normal American teenager. This shows we face the same thing everyone else does.”

“There are two stereotypes associated with them, especially with East Asian women, one being that they are ultra-sexualized Dragon Ladies or they are seen as submissive and small. I think that the diversity with character types in Crazy Rich Asians and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before doesn’t tokenize women, and makes them relatable, and shows that we aren’t all the same.”

“This will have an impact on society. It is good that there are more movies and shows with Asian cast members, because it is diversifying [the movie industry].”

was one of President Donald Trump’s campaign promises, noting numerous times that it was a “bad deal” for the U.S. However, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig said he believes that NAFTA was a successful trade deal for agriculture.

“From an Iowa standpoint and from an agricultural standpoint, NAFTA is critically important,” Naig said. “We’re very much urging the administration to conclude these negotiations and get to a NAFTA 2.0 as quickly as possible.”

Trump announced Monday a trade deal has been reached with Mexico in a move to renegotiate NAFTA. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue said negotiations with Canada have been in the works during a Thursday round-

table discussion with Gov. Kim Reynolds and Naig.

“This is one of the largest trade deals ever made,” Trump said during remarks with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto. “Maybe the largest trade deal ever made. And it’s really something very special that two countries were able to come together and get it done.”

Naig said continuing to have zero tariffs is the most important part of a trade deal for Iowa, but he noted he still supports addressing and modernizing NAFTA. Without tariffs among the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, the organization of the trade agreement created a situation in which Canada and Mexico have become large trading partners of the state, Naig said.

Iowa exported $13.21 trillion in commodities last year. Exports to Canada and Mexico composed 47.52 percent of Iowa’s total, with 30.58 percent of those products going to Canada, according to a report from Iowa Economic Development.

Machinery and processed foods were the top two goods exported by the state in 2017; each category brought in approximately $3 billion from all countries.

Agricultural products were the fourth-largest export for the state at $1.5 billion, according to a report from the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Canada was also the No. 1 source of imports to the state, growing 6.2 percent from 2016 to 2017, the state library reports.

Naig said he hopes negotiations with Mexico and Canada will build momentum for negotiations with other countries, including China.

Reynolds said on Monday in a press release that she believes the agreement with Mexico is a step further in the pursuit of a trade agreement with Canada, which, she noted, would benefit farmers.

“Iowa farmers want free trade and open markets,” Reynolds said in the release.

“As trade negotiations proceed, Iowa farmers will continue to do what they do best — produce.”

Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, released a statement noting many of the agriculture products produced in the state have been affected by trade negotiations with other countries.

“Saddled with low commodity prices and escalating trade disputes, today’s announcement that the United States and Mexico have reached a two-way deal on trade is huge news for Iowa’s farmers and ranchers,” she said in the release Monday. “[It] is a monumental step to help restore both market certainty and confidence across rural America.”

Vaccination numbers are on the rise As the school year begins, health officials stress the importance of students getting immunized to protect against harmful illnesses.

BY KELSEY HARRELL

kelsey-harrell@uiowa.edu Rising vaccination numbers and predictions for more of the same can mean nothing but positive news for Iowa City schools and the University of Iowa.

Another school year has begun, and as fall approaches, so does the need for vaccinations.

School districts have mandated that children get vaccinated against certain communicable diseases, such as measles, mumps, polio, chicken pox, and rubella, in order for students to attend school.

Jody R. Murph, an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital, said the immunization rate for children born in 2013 was 77 percent.

The rate was 69 percent for children born in 2010. These rates are based on whether children had completed a

series of seven vaccines.

When looking at the K-12 school health audit for 2017-2018 in Iowa, Murph said, 98.82 percent of students had met the requirements for vaccinations, which is 94 percent.

For some diseases, such as measles, mumps, and rubella, 94 percent of the population needs to be immunized to protect nonimmunized people from contracting the illnesses, she said. If there is a high enough vaccination rate in one area, it’s less likely for a communicable disease to spread. This is called herd immunity.

“It’s important for everyone to be immunized to protect themselves, as well as protect the people who can’t get the vaccinations,” said Jennifer Miller, a disease-prevention specialist in the Johnson County Public Health Department.

Some students don’t receive the vaccinations because of medical or re-

ligious exemptions, Miller said. Students could have medical exemptions if they are allergic to a certain component of the vaccines or if they have some other health conditions for which the vaccines would have an adverse effect.

If students do not have exemptions, they are required to receive the vaccinations, because students can contract illnesses easier, given the proximity with one another, Miller said.

“New parents may decline to get their children vaccinated because they worry about possible adverse effects,” she said.

“The new parents haven’t seen the severity of the diseases because the vaccines are so successful. The health community should reach out and educate people about the benefits of vaccinations.”

Susie Poulton, the student-health coordinator for the Iowa City School Dis-

trict, said the school health audit for this year hasn’t been released yet. However, she predicts the immunization rate will be the same or better based on rates from past years. This year’s audit

will come out in October.

“The rise has to do with new vaccination laws being put in place in recent years,” Poulton said. “For seventh- and 12th-graders, there is a vaccine that is re-

quired they receive in order to attend school. The rates lowered because people didn’t know about the law.

Now that people are educated about it, immunization rates should rise.”

FOOTBALL CONTINUED FROM 8 “He’s a very disruptive player,” Ferentz said. “If you’re going to game plan, you’d better start right there and have an understanding of what challenges he presents and then, hopefully, have some answers for it.”

Unfortunately for the Hawkeyes, some of those answers are going to have to come in the form of backup linemen.

Starters Tristen Wirfs and Alaric Jackson are suspended for the game, which means Mark Kallenberger and Dalton Ferguson will protect Nate Stanley in their place.

Although the Huskie defensive line will be a formidable challenge, Kallenberger and Ferguson have had their share of challenges on the practice field.

“I told our guys, you’ve been practicing against some pretty good guys, too,” Ferentz said. “With [Parker] Hesse and [Anthony] Nelson.

At least they’re going against good guys in practice on a daily basis.”

On the other side of the ball, Iowa will have to work to shut down Huskie soph-

omore quarterback Marcus Childers.

He racked up an impressive freshman campaign in which he threw for 1,674 yards, 16 touchdowns, and only 5 picks, while also rushing for 473 yards and 5 touchdowns. He will certainly be a tough challenge for the Hawkeye defense, but the plan to stop him is pretty simple.

“We can’t beat ourselves,” cornerback Matt Hankins said. “We have to make him beat us. We have got to contain him when he drops back to throw, and in the passing game, we have got to have him covered.”

Along with the game and the possible record-breaking win for Ferentz, the contest will also be the first time for fans to see the construction in the north end zone.

Ferentz seems more excited at the prospect of fans seeing the new north end zone than he does about the possibility of breaking Fry’s record.

“Oh, I think it’s awesome.”

Ferentz said. “Seeing it on video was like wow, that looks really — it’s imposing.

I can’t wait to see fans in it … Hopefully, we’re going to make the fans be loud and not sit on their hands.”

the following weekend. Rival Iowa State will be the first to experience the duo’s attacks on Sept. 7.

But until then, the backline and Graves must remain solid. Graves, only a junior, is one shutout away from advancing to third in Iowa’s record books for most career clean sheets. She boasts 14 but has bigger plans than the personal accolade.

“Knowing that the goalkeepers who do hold those records are the ones who led their teams to NCAA Tournament and beyond is good,” Graves said. “Sure, the record’s great, but someone’s going to beat it eventually.”

Both Central Michigan and VCU have offensive potential. A threat comes from Chippewa Lexi Pelafas, who has notched 3 goals this sea-

son. She led the MAC in scoring in 2017 with 13 goals.

VCU, on the other hand, plays a high-pressure game that forces defenses to remain poised.

“Central Michigan has a forward who led the country in goals two years ago — a really athletic player,” DiIanni said. “She can stretch the game behind you. They’re also very disciplined defen-

sively. VCU is the opposite, where they will throw numbers at you, and pressure you, and give you space behind if you can break the pressure.

“Totally different styles of play. One will have the ball a lot, and we will have to pass the ball and break them down, and the other one, we will have to find the spaces to play behind, and it will be a very up-tempo game.”

Central Michigan’s and VCU’s contrasting game plans offer DiIanni a chance to strengthen his squad before starting Big Ten play on Sept. 14 against Maryland.

“Both are very different opponents — very different styles of play,” DiIanni said.

“For us, it’s about what we do and what we need to do better and be more consistent with.”

“We have so many new faces who have the potential to affect the lineup,” he said.

“We’re still a few weeks away from knowing really what they’re capable of.”

On the men’s side, the strong finish of 2016 included Michael Melchert break-

ing into No. 2 on Iowa’s Top 10 All-Time list for the men’s 6,000 with a time of 18:12.

Melchert claimed that mark during his junior year, but he had to sit out last season because of an injury.

Melchert held Iowa’s No. 2 6K spot until Ian Eklin

took it over with a time of 18:10 during the 2017 Hawkeye Invitational. Similar to Melchert, Eklin ran the time in his junior year.

Following Eklin, Nathan Mylenek grabbed the sixth spot in Iowa’s top 6K performances during the 2017

Hawkeye Invitational with a time of 18:26. This year, the junior from Clarkston, Michigan, views the invitational as a warm-up to the season.

“It’s our first 6K, so it’s kind of a rust-buster,” Mylenek said. “We’re just look-

ing for a good race right now and good way to start the season.”

Following the Hawkeye Invitational, Iowa will have a two-week break before heading to Lincoln, Nebraska, for the Woody Greeno Invitational on Sept. 16.

Volleyball heads west for Pac-12 showdown The Iowa volleyball squad will travel for the Pac-12/Big Ten Challenge to face No. 13 Washington and No. 21 Colorado.

BY LAUREN JIMMERSON

lauren-jimmerson@uiowa.edu The Hawkeye volleyball team will travel west for a weekend full of sets (not setbacks, they hope) to compete in the Big Ten/Pac-12 Challenge in Seattle.

Iowa will begin the weekend against No. 13 Washington at 10 p.m. today (CDT) and conclude the weekend against No. 21 Colorado at 5 p.m. Saturday.

Focusing on one team at a time, the squad has been studying the ins and out of Washington.

“This past week, we have just been studying a little bit of film, watching the rotations, and really studying the scouting reports,” senior Taylor Louis said. “We’re [focusing on] their rotations so by the time we get on the court to play them, we know them very well.”

The only previous meeting between Iowa and Washington favored the Huskies in 1991 (the Huskies also beat the Hawkeyes in the Rose Bowl that year).

Washington finished its 2017 season with only eight losses and an NCAA Tournament appearance. Washington started this season with notable 3-1 and 3-0 wins over then-No. 14 San Diego, and it ranks eighth in the nation in blocks.

With an entire week to prepare, the Iowa front row has focused heavily on offensive strategies.

“We’ve definitely been making accommodations to work around their taller block,” Louis said.

Defensively, good block setups and closes should bolster the team’s competitiveness against Washington.

The Buffaloes will be another strong opponent for the Hawkeyes. Colorado finished its first weekend, 2-1, with wins over Oral Roberts and North Florida and a loss to Wyoming. Iowa trails 0-1 in its all-time series with Colorado.

Justine Spann leads the Buffaloes offensively with 41 kills and a .333 attack percentage. The junior averaged 3.42 kills and 1.83 digs per set in the first weekend, ranking second on the team.

Sophomore setter Brynna DeLuzio has supported the team offensively, chalking up 96 assists, an average of 8 per set.

Close to that for Iowa is setter Brie Orr, averaging 8.92 assists per set and supporting a .251 hitting efficiency.

“I know that if I get my hitters a good ball, they are able to have way more options, so then they are able to get kills,” she said.

The sophomore wants to contribute more than assists to Iowa’s offense.

“I’m focusing really hard on being offensive so it keeps the middle on the other side kind of waiting a second before they [transition]

Iowa’s Brie Orr (7) celebrates a point against Penn State in Carver-Hawkeye on Nov. 8, 2017. in case I attack the ball,” she said.

Knowing defense is just as important to the team’s success, Orr has also worked to contribute touches off the net.

Louis and Orr both believe the freshmen have begun to play key roles, and they would like the newbies to be

more involved on the court.

Freshman middle hitter Hannah Clayton racked up 18 blocks last weekend, 35th in the nation and third in the Big Ten. Following the leadership of senior Reghan Coyle, Clayton has found a way to support the 24th-ranked defense in the NCAA.

“Reghan has done a really good job with leading our middles,” Louis said. “She did a really good job with the incoming freshmen and teaching them our techniques and our blocks.”

As a team, Iowa volleyball tries to never lose its focus, which will carry into the weekend.

“It’s more about staying on the team mission, ‘True Mental Toughness,’ taking it day-by-day and point-bypoint,” Louis said. “Again, focusing on things we can control and slowing up the pace of the game when it gets chaotic. Our No. 1 thing, day in and day out, is staying on the team mission.”

HAWKEYE UPDATES Vandervelde to serve as honorary captain

Former Iowa offensive lineman Julian Vandervelde will serve as an honorary captain in the Hawkeyes’ opener against Northern Illinois on Saturday.

Vandervelde started 37 games for Iowa from 2007-2010 and earned second-team Big Ten honors his senior season.

Vandervelde and the Hawkeyes won three bowl games during his career, including the 2010 Orange Bowl over Georgia Tech.

A fifth-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2011 NFL Draft, Vandervelde played for the Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers during a five-year NFL career, before suiting up for the Quad City Steamwheelers of Champions Indoor Football.

Along with being a part of the coin toss, he will be with the Hawkeyes in the locker room before and after the game.

That may mean a lot to Hawkeye fans, but inside the locker room, it’s tough to tell that any-

Iowa has outscored its three opponents this season, 3-0, resulting in two wins and one draw. Finishing chances has plagued Hawkeye forwards thus far.

Kicking of the 2018 season, Iowa cross-country will remain home today to compete in the Hawkeye Invitational on the Ashton Cross-Country Course.

Five teams will join the Hawkeye men and women on the course: Illinois State, Iowa State, Iowa Central, Drake, and UNI. The women’s 4,000 meters will begin at 5 p.m. and the men’s 6,000 will follow.

During the 2016 Hawkeye Invitational, Iowa finished strong overall with six harriers for the men and five for the women placing in the top 20. The 2017 results were different, however, Shine with only three runners for the men and only four for the women finishing in the top 20.

Despite the low numbers, Iowa’s Andrea Shine established herself in the seventh spot in Iowa’s Top 10 All-Time in the women’s 4,000 with a time of 13:58.

The senior from Crystal Lake, Illinois, embraces her role as a leader for the underclassmen who dominate the roster. Today will be her first opportunity to do exactly that.

“I want to lead the team and the girls into performances that show how hard we’ve worked up to this point in the season and all throughout the summer,” Shine said.

With 19 underclassmen and only eight upperclassmen, Shine’s leadership will play a significant role this season. Head coach Randy

Iowa soccer will take on Central Michigan and VCU this weekend after a strong start to the season under its belt. But the Hawkeyes still lack in one category.

Two-thirds of Iowa’s soccer team has had a strong, albeit short, season. Morgan Kemerling has led a disciplined defense, and Claire Graves has been a rock in goal. The midfield is creating opportunities for attacks.

But a piece of the puzzle has been missing.

Iowa’s top third has been unable to find the back of the of the net in key moments, despite
