Two people were injured in an early morning shooting on Sept. 29 that warranted a Hawk Alert sent to students, officials said in a press release. The Iowa City police responded to a report of shots being fired near
Gilbert and Court Streets around 1:55 a.m., the release said. Police found a male with a gunshot wound and another male with a gunshot wound around a block away. The two were treated at the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics for non-life-threatening injuries. The Hawk Alert was sent out
around 2 a.m. on Sept. 29 by the UI Public Safety Department, said the suspect is a black female with dreads wearing blue. Sgt. Jerry Blomgren said the Iowa City police are still investigating the nature of the crime. Blomgren said individuals at the scene, along with those who were shot, were not cooperative. He said
authorities do not know the identity of the shooter and why the event occurred. Surveillance footage will be used to gain a clearer understanding of the incident, Blomgren said. The press release said those with any information should contact CrimeStoppers at 319-358-8477.

International flags flew high over muddy ground as Iowa City became an international cycling hub for a weekend. Ninety-two cyclists and hundreds of spectators from around the globe converged on the Johnson County Fairgrounds from Sept. 28 to Sunday for the Jingle Cross and Telenet Union Cycliste Internationale Cyclocross World Cup. Cyclocross is a form of off-road bike racing in which participants ride through and over obstacles such as hills or creeks to reach the finish line. Races at Jingle Cross included categories for riders of all ages, genders, and experience levels. They ranged from children’s beginner races to races for experienced riders over 60. The professional cyclists came from 11 countries and three continents, including America, Europe, and Oceania. Jingle Cross volunteer Wendy Walker, who hosted three female professional bikers from Belgium, the Netherlands, and England for the weekend, said she appreciates the camaraderie that the cycling community provides.

Luckily, the DOT’s launch of the 380 Express may provide some relief to travelers. The bus service will begin its route today,
New tools geared toward assisting University of Iowa students in long-term academic planning launched on MyUI earlier this fall. The new tools — Sample Plans and MyPlan — work together to help students with developing multiyear plans for their paths to graduation. The new tools come a year after Schedule Builder launched on MyUI. Schedule Builder is a tool that helps students build conflict-free schedules based on their preferences, and it provides one-click registration. “We really wanted to be able to equip students with tools to build successful plans in order to maximize their time here at Iowa,” said Jill Trumm, the associate director of Trumm the Academic Advising Center. The Registrar’s Office worked to develop Sample Plans, which are example plans of study that outline recommended coursework and sequence of coursework for different undergraduate programs. Currently, Sample Plans are offered for most majors, and officials hope to soon offer them for minors, certificates, and graduate programs. “The goal is that students can look through [Sample Plans] and be able to have conversations with their advisers with more information than

BUS CONTINUED FROM FRONT with the first of four buses leaving Cedar Rapids at 5:20 a.m. and last bus returning at 8:40 p.m. The service will run every 30 minutes Monday through Friday. The service is a result of an Iowa Commuter Transportation Study conducted in 2014 used to identify and evaluate alternative transportation
options for commuters in the I-380 corridor, the DOT website said. The study “identified the existing and future commuter needs in the corridor and determined the viability of various commuter transportation alternatives to address those needs,” according to the website. Transit administrator Brock Grenis said the service will run from downtown Cedar Rapids to the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics,
with stops along the way at Kirkwood Community College and Coralville. Though not much can be done to ease the traffic flow (or nonflow) at the interchange, he said, he sees the new bus as an opportunity to provide some relief. “It won’t take away all congestion,” he said. “It’s mostly just an alternative for the commuting public to use to make it easier to commute the corridor.” The buses are operated by Windstar Lines, a char-
ter-bus company selected by the DOT in April based on its new deluxe buses and affordability. “The fact that we’re starting off with brand-new motor coaches that are very highly equipped makes it a pretty attractive ride for the commuter to be able to get back and forth to work,” Windstar President Jeff Greteman said. “The coaches are equipped with power outlets at each seat and have Wi-Fi as well. The seats are very

Sample Plans is publicly available so prospective students can also use the tool. Trumm said Sample Plans works well as a starting point for MyPlan, which allows students the ability to create a customized plan of study that integrates their degree requirements along with other items, such as internships or study abroad, to create a comprehensive view

JINGLE CROSS CONTINUED FROM FRONT “It’s been great fun,” Walker said. “Lots of mud. It’s been fun to watch people slip and slide. It’s a friendly group.” While it was a rainy weekend, she said that from her perspective, attendance was similar to previous years. She plans to volunteer again next year, just as she has for the last several years. People dealt with the precipitation the best they could. Attendees wore rain boots as they trekked across the course, trying to get the best view of the action. In between races, bikers cleaned the caked mud off of their bikes at special wash stations around the fairgrounds. After the races on Sept. 29, competitors and spectators alike took part in the free Jingle Cross Music Festival on the fairgrounds. Revelers of all backgrounds made their way to Mount Krumpit, a hill on the course.

UCI recently named Iowa City the best Cyclocross World Cup of the 2017-18 season among the nine cities across
the United States and Europe in which the cup takes place. Robertson said the cycling community is fairly closely knit, and he appreciates Jingle Cross because it allows him to catch up with friends. “I can come out here and see dozens of people I don’t usually see,” he said as his dog, Shadow, sat by his feet. Like many attendees, Robertson has attended Jingle Cross for years and has made
friends through the festival. Ed and Jennifer Veak, who own Beaverdale Bicycles, a bike shop in Des Moines, have participated in Jingle Cross several times before. However, this is their first time attending the World Cup, Ed Veak said. “It’s fun to watch, and I think it’s good for Iowa City, for the community, and cycling in the state,” Jennifer Veak said.

The DOT’s Paulson said the passes can be purchased through the Token Transit app Routes for smartphones.
Arrival times and buses can also be followed in real time via Google Transit. “We’re very excited about this service,” Greteman said. “It’s a neat things for our company to be a part of.

Evanson and Tjelmeland managed the development of the applications. “The power of Sample Plans, MyPlan, and Schedule Builder is using the three tools together. We knew Schedule Builder would have a big impact on how students register for classes in that it … simplifies the registration process,” Evanson and Tjelmeland said in the email. “MyPlan together with Sample Plans are geared toward long-term planning … We think there are a lot of benefits to students to be able to easily and visually map out the courses they need to take throughout their academic career.” The three planning tools were developed as a strategic initiative budget opportunity that addresses the UI’s initiative to create
technological tools and cohesive four-year success messages that empower students to chart their course, as specified in the UI’s Strategic Plan for 2016-21. “I definitely see this as enhancing the work that academic advisers do with our students,” Trumm said. “… The technology allows us to streamline some of the processes that may have taken up a lot of our appointment time and opens up more space for a qualitative conversation between the student and the adviser.”

Big Ten schools join to fight cancer A recent trial conducted through the Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium studies new approaches to treating locally advanced bladder cancer, which could provide a safe alternative for patients unable to undergo chemotherapy or surgery. BY JOSIE FISCHELS
josie-fischels@uiowa.edu While the University of Iowa and other Big Ten schools might be opponents on the field, they work hand-inhand when it comes to fighting cancer. UI Clinical Assistant Professor Yousef Zakharia is one of several researchers at many Big Ten universities taking part in a clinical trial involving a new approach to treating locally advanced bladder cancer. The trial is just one example of the studies conducted through the Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium, an association that allows cancer research centers at Big Ten universities to collaborate on ideas and knowledge and to conduct clinical trials as a single unit. “The goal is to conduct research together that none of us could do on our own,” said George Weiner, the director of the UI Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center. “Very often, there aren’t enough patients at any one cancer center who are interested or eligible to participate [in a clinical trial] to let one cancer center do the trial on its own. So the idea is we’re all going to work together, and that way, more patients will have access to the studies, and we’ll get answers more quickly.” Several Big Ten University professors work closely with Zakharia on this particular trial, including Hamid Emamekhoo of the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center.

Herky the Hawk and Bucky the Badger wave to the patients at the UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital during Iowa’s game against Wisconsin at Kinnick Stadium on Sept. 22. Together, the two work to find new ways bladder cancer can be treated in patients who are not candidates for the standard treatment of localized bladder cancer, which involves chemotherapy followed by surgery. For this trial, the answer may lie in the use of immunotherapy. “Immunotherapy is a new modality in the cancer field. The idea of it is to boost your own immune system to attack the tumor,” Zakh-
aria said. “We are pairing immunotherapy with radiation therapy to control the [cancer] in place. Our theory is that immunotherapy will boost the effect of the radiation therapy. This trial is still early in the process, the combination seems to be safe, preliminary results seem to be promising.” Emamekhoo said positive results in the trial will allow the effort against cancer to treat an even larger population of patients. Radiation
and immunotherapy may have a future as a healthy alternative for bladder-cancer patients ineligible for or unwilling to undergo chemotherapy or surgical treatment. While the trial may only involve a handful of patients who fall into this category, Emamekhoo and others don’t believe the number makes the advancement any less significant. “Although [the population] is small, we don’t want
to ignore that group of patients, or not pay enough attention to that group, so we are working to have a better option for any patient with bladder cancer,” Emamekhoo said. Weiner noted that the Big Ten Cancer Consortium unites universities to make studies such as this possible by allowing researchers to conduct studies they couldn’t vw have done on their own. New advancements, discoveries, and ideas are easily
and quickly communicated among universities thanks to the consortium. “It’s an incredibly exciting time in the field of cancer research,” Weiner said. “A lot of the investments we’ve made in basic science research over the past couple decades are starting to pay off now. We still have a lot to learn, but we’re able to help patients now that we couldn’t have helped just a few years ago with some new approaches.”
IC, UI police continue party control Iowa City police team with UI police to conduct party patrols, which, officials say, aim to ensure quality of life for all students and Iowa City residents. BY KATIE ANN MCCARVER katie-mccarver@uiowa.edu
The Iowa City police will continue their annual party patrols this fall, cruising for apartment and house parties that officers deem disruptive to neighbors, in an effort to decrease likelihood of physical harm stemming from outof-control partying or alcohol consumption. Because of the proximity of the efforts to the UI campus and its residents, the Iowa City police team with the UI police to conduct the patrols. “Working in partnership with university police will enhance continuity,” Iowa City Police Chief Jody Matherly said in an email to UI students. “It sends the message that along with enjoying social events is the responsibility to respect neighbors and comply with laws relating to noise and litter.” Responsibilities of the party patrol include responding to reports of excessive noise to litter in the street, as well as diffusing tension in strained relationships among roommates or neighbors. “Sometimes, it’s just
friends who have had enough of each other, and other times, it’s people who met on Craigslist and have real problems,” police Officer Rob Cash said. “We talk to students and discuss self-awareness more than anything.” The primary goal of the party patrols is to educate students and other Iowa City residents about the law and potential infractions their partying could cause before any major issues arise. “It’s more about education than enforcement,” Cash said. “First, we warn these kids and show them what will happen if they are reported again, such as they could be fined or a letter sent to their landlord.” Cash said the police are not trying to send a message to members of the community that they cannot have get-togethers, just that they must maintain a controlled environment to avoid conflict among attendees or with neighbors. “When it comes down to it, we’re looking at safety and medical issues,” Cash said. “We don’t want constant tension among neighbors, and people living in apartments
need to understand the concept of shared walls.” The city established the patrols in the fall of 2010, and Iowa City officers primarily staff them, with some assistance from the UI force. “[UI police] partner with [Iowa City police],” UI Public Safety media-relations manager Hayley Bruce said. “But we only participate as staffing allows.” Bruce said all Johnson County law-enforcement agencies have a mutual-aid agreement, which provides that different departments can combine to serve one another’s interests. “We have a mutual interest in student activities as they pertain to alcohol- and drug-related infractions,” Bruce said. “We have seen success with party patrols in the past and view them as another layer of our community-policing strategy.” Because the number of Iowa City police officers is based on city population, not including UI students, their numbers are disproportionate to the increase in city occupancy at the beginning of every semester.

only team with the UI police for party patrols, they often work closely with the off-campus advisory board, alcohol safety, and more. The Iowa City police prioritize quality of life among all
residents, and they contend that no neighbor or roommate should have to adjust their standard of living for others. “If you’re a resident here, you should be able to live your
way without interruption,” Cash said. “Any disturbances should be reported through our website or mobile app, particularly if you’re feeling frustrated and affected by others’ life choices.”

Tuesday marks the special election to fill the vacant seat on the Iowa City City Council. The candidates on the ballot are Ann Freerks and Bruce Teague. The Daily Iowan had the pleasure of speaking to both candidates. When asked what their top issues were, Freerks and Teague agree that affordable housing and transportation are major problems that the city will continue to face. Because Freerks has served on the Iowa City Planning & Zoning Commission and various other local boards, her credentials make Freerks seem like the obvious choice. However, Teague’s experience and dedication to diversity make him the better candidate for the job. There are more issues facing Iowa City outside of transportation and affordable housing, of course. To address those needs, Teague wants to make Iowa City a human-rights city. This means the city would place a higher priority on such necessities as water, shelter, and food and a lower level of priority on desires. No one is more equipped to understand which members of community are in need than Teague. Having lived in Iowa City since he was 17, he has said, “this city has raised me.” Since then, Teague has endeavored to serve the community and its members. At age 19, he worked at Iowa City Hospice, which allowed him to work directly with families and members of the Iowa City community. After attending Kirkwood and the UI, Teague founded Caring

Hands and More LLC, a business that provides services for seniors and people with disabilities. Through his business, Teague has worked with countless members of our community, which gives him the knowledge to understand where needs exist. Different groups of people in Iowa City face unique issues; this includes students. When asked how he planned to keep students engaged, Teague said he has no problem reaching out to people to start conversations. He noted that he believes city councilors should take the first step to include students in decisions that affect them. Teague believes he is uniquely
qualified to reach out to all members of the community because he knows what it feels like to have his voice silenced or marginalized. “I’m really diverse. I don’t know if you know this, but I’m black,” Teague joked. “So I do have this minority experience. I am also a gay man, so I know what it is to live in groups where your voice is silenced.” Other people and city councilors may be able to go out and ask what it is like to be a minority in Iowa City, he said. And although they may have the best intentions, they will not always consider what it is like to be a minority when making decisions for the community as a whole.
Teague used the following anecdote to illustrate his point. If a person’s good friend’s child died, most people would feel a great sense of distress for the friend and the loss. Over time, most people, however, would begin to forget about the child’s death. But the parent of the child will never go a day without thinking about the loss. Teague said this is what it is like to be a minority. “My lived experience really will remain with me when I am sitting there, making decisions for Iowa City.” Iowa City needs a candidate who will take the first step to include every member of the community. Teague is that person.

Support your passion through philanthropy John Culshaw encourages all to donate to areas of the UI they are passionate about. As a college student in the mid-1980s, I spent a lot of time in my university’s library. Like many librarians, my career started as a student worker in my undergraduate library, where I experienced the technological transformation in libraries firsthand. My library experience was very different back then. There were card catalogues to maintain, piles of books waiting to be reshelved, barcode stickers to apply to all books in advance of a new online checkout system, and a new Macintosh computer with its signature startup chime. Little did I know, especially as a first-generation college student, how all of these things would shape my future.
The library was the first academic community that I knew. My supervisors became my role models and mentors. Were it not for these experiences and these people, I wouldn’t be in the position I am today. That’s why I give. Looking for a direct way to support our student employees, the UI Libraries launched the Libraries’ Student Employee Scholarship in 2015. Over the last century, more than 14,000 University of Iowa alumni have worked as students in the UI Libraries. These workers followed a countless number of career paths as Iowa alumni — and many became librarians. I give to the Libraries’ Student
Employee Scholarship Program because I deeply value the many contributions student workers make to the UI Libraries. I believe in the importance of helping them succeed in academics, in work, and in life. Through our scholarship program, every UI Libraries staff member has the opportunity to support our student employees. I’m so proud of how our staff has embraced the program. I’m grateful to the families of former UI Libraries employees who have given significantly to ensure this program affects generations of students to come. Philanthropy is critical to other work we do in the UI Libraries. Gifts made by the
Friends of the Libraries support leadership-development opportunities for our staff. These gifts also help us innovate and improve access to information for our students, faculty, and community. External support also allows us to share our collections through educational exhibits and events in our libraries and around the state. I give to the Friends of the UI Libraries because all of these things keep libraries vital in the 21st century. I encourage you to join me in supporting whatever part of the UI inspires your passion. — John Culshaw, UI Librarian

UIHC holds two Magnet-recognized nursing practices UIHC’s alcohol-abuse screenings and shared governance structure helps to receive Magnet designation. BY KINSEY PHIPPS
kinsey-phipps@uiowa.edu Two nursing initiatives at University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics have been deemed exemplary by Magnet because of their competency and diversity. Magnet is a program through the American Nurses Credentialing Center that sets standards for nursing programs across the country. The UIHC programs that the center recognized are competency in alcohol-abuse screenings for psychiatric patients and shared governance model. Alcohol-abuse screening is part of the admissions assessment when new psychiatric patients are admitted. Hospitals are required to complete these screenings because in many cases there is a direct correlation between alcohol abuse and psychiatric disorders, Director of Behavioral Health Services John Wagner said. Nursing staff at UIHC were 100 percent competent in completing alcohol-abuse screenings for two years, said Dana Cook, nursing practice leader for Behav-
ioral Health Services, said. While nearly all hospitals exercise this measure, Magnet specifically recognized UIHC’s nursing efficiency. “We made it part of the nursing workflow,” Cook said. “Nurses don’t even need to think about it, it’s just part of their routine admissions assessment. I was surprised that Magnet indicated this was exemplar because it’s just what we do. We were very happy they recognized our work.” The other Magnet-recognized program is the shared governance model at UIHC. Nursing staff serves on various committees and councils to have a say in how their practice can improve, said Lou Ann Montgomery, the director of nursing professional development and advanced practice. “It really puts the decision-making in the hands of the people who are closest to the patients,” she said. “They know the work that needs to be done, they know what patients need, they can rely on other leadership to help them. It’s the frontline staff driving decisions of care.” What started off in 1975
with a few committees blossomed into 1,800 members serving 29 committees and councils in nursing, including diversity, patient education, professional nursing practice, staff education, and more, she said. Based on their position, nurses and other hospital staff may be appointed to serve on a council, she said. Committees, however, are interest-based groups. At the start of each calendar year, staff may sign up to serve on a committee they are particularly passionate about. Nurses are not the only hospital vocation serving on committees and councils. Many of the groups are interdisciplinary with other UIHC departments and staff. While many hospitals have a shared-governance model, UIHC’s program was recognized for its wide variety of committees and councils and the way they work together to serve a common goal: giving the best patient care possible, Montgomery said. “That’s one really robust example of our commitment to nursing excellence just

[because] it’s the right thing to do, but it also helps us maintain our Magnet status,” said Sara Caven, the director of centralized functions and the UIHC Magnet Program. Other hospitals will get the opportunity to learn
from UIHC’s exemplary programs next fall at the Nurses Center National Magnet Conference when UIHC submits its exemplars as presentations. UIHC will submit both exemplars — alcohol-abuse
screenings and shared-governance model — as presentations for next year’s National Magnet Conference, Caven said. Hospitals from around the country are able to learn from other exemplary practices in nursing.

Book fest celebrates the City of Literature City of Literature organization puts on the weeklong Iowa City Book Festival, bringing in esteemed authors and artists. BY ADRIAN ENZASTIGA
adrian-enzastiga@uiowa.edu Writing can be a powerful tool. It has been the “weapon” for countless great authors, poets, and other artists of current time. Writing can be used to change fate, sway the masses, and create significant change. Today marks the start of the Iowa City Book Festival, a weeklong event in which re-
goals of the book festival, Kenyon said. “We want these writers to come away from having presented here with a new audience, and we want people who come here as readers to come away with a stack of books and maybe some new authors that they decide that they want to follow,” Kenyon said. “It’s about making those connections.” Iowa City has a strong liter-
in town,” Barker said. Another goal of the festival is to focus on the political aspect of literature, Kenyon said. “There are a lot of authors that will present about topics that we have been talking about in our community,” he said. “Our hope is that this new information, these new perspectives that these authors bring will help to push those conversations forward.” The Book Festival connects
‘I’m just thrilled that we are a UNESCO City of Literature and I’m thrilled that we have so many literary innovations in town.’ — Anna Barker, organizer nowned authors, both international and local, will travel to Iowa City to receive awards, give readings, and hold workshops or other events. The festival was started in 2009 by local libraries to celebrate Iowa City as a UNESCO City of Literature. UNESCO designates cities for different disciplines around the world. Iowa City was the third City of Literature and the first one in the United States. This is the 10th anniversary of the festival. John Kenyon, the director of the local City of Literature organization, said he hopes to top all the years before in celebration of the special milestone. “We’re just trying to put together a lineup that’s going to appeal to as many people as possible,” he said. This year is possibly the festival’s most impressive lineup yet, as Common, a renowned hip-hop artist and actor, will speak at Hancher on Saturday. Another big festival event is the public reading of the novel Frankenstein, organized by Anna Barker, in honor of its 200th year since being published. There will be screenings at FilmScene and an all-day reading of the book starting at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, at the Old Capitol. Barker, who has a Ph.D. in comparative literature and has put together public readings since 2010, said every year the piece of literature selected is celebrating some kind of anniversary. “All the books that we’ve covered during the readings have huge significance in our culture,” she said. “We take pride on the publication itself.” There are a few general
ary foundation, and the Iowa City Book Festival pays homage to that. “The most wonderful thing about the book festival is it sort of provides an umbrella organization for all of the various literature-related programs to perform the events and collaborate on various projects,” Barker said. Being a City of Literature is something to take pride in, and Barker embraces that. “I’m just thrilled that we are a UNESCO City of Literature, and I’m thrilled that we have so many literary innovations
readers and writers, engages political programming, and celebrates Iowa City as a powerful community in literature. “We wanted to have one big festival each year that gives people the opportunity to come out and experience a lot of what we have to offer through bringing in nationally prominent authors and giving a platform to local writers,” Kenyon said. “It’s really an opportunity for us as a community to shine a light on what’s going on in the literary world.”

Hawkeyes end losing skid, beat Wildcats in 5 sets Volleyball met No. 7 Illinois and Northwestern on the road this past weekend, getting swept by Illinois amd beating Northwestern. BY PETE MILLS
peter-mills@uiowa.edu Iowa volleyball ended a two-match skid on Sunday with a win against Northwestern in Evanston. The Iowa squad was hungry for a victory after losing soundly to a strong Illinois team earlier in the weekend. It happened in a tightly contested, five-set match with Taylor Louis, Brie Orr, and Molly Kelly coming up big for the Hawkeyes. Louis knocked out the Wildcats with a game-winning kill in front of her friends and family. Her performance was especially important, given the Hawkeyes’ struggles against Illinois on Sept. 28. The first set set the tone for the match with scoring runs coming from each team.
The Wildcats started out hot, hopping out to a 4-1 lead in the first moments of play. Northwestern standout Nia Robinson demonstrated why she’s considered one of the top hitters in the conference early, posting 9 kills in the first set. However, mid-set runs by the Hawkeyes, largely led by Louis’ 5 kills in the set, tied the set at 22. This was not enough; Robinson regained fire and posted 3-straight kills to close out the victory for the Wildcats. The second set had much of the same flavor as the first. The roles were reversed this time, however, and the Hawkeyes led for much of the set. This was largely thanks to a 6-point run in the middle of the set from the Hawkeyes.
Contributions came from all over the floor, with kills from Louis, Courtney Buzzerio, and Cali Hoye. Despite a streak from the Wildcats, the Iowa defense won the set with strong blocks from Orr and Sarah Wing. The third was different for the Hawkeyes. Thanks to a 14-4 run in the middle of the set, the Hawkeyes easily closed it, 25-11. The momentum carried into the fourth, but Northwestern eventually gained its footing and went on a 5-point run to put it up, 1210. The squads traded blows, but a kill by Robinson and a late-set block tied the match at two sets. Iowa and Northwestern traded blows in the fifth set, but Louis was hungry. She threw down the match-win-
ning kill on an assist from Hoye. The win came at a great time for the Hawkeyes after losing its two most recent matches. The loss against No. 7 Illinois was particularly tough, coming via sweep. The Hawkeyes couldn’t get much going in the match against the Illini, with none of their leaders able to score more than 10 kills individually. The match against the
Wildcats struck a very different tone, and Louis and Coyle posted 38 of the team’s kills. “We talked about how our team keeps developing and how we took set two in a come-from-behind victory,” head coach Bond Shymansky said in a release. “We then really took it to them in the third set, but then we were in the battle for the fourth and fifth set. It was a great team effort, and it was scrap-
py game all the way until the end.” Defensively, the Hawkeyes were hot. Iowa came up with 23 blocks in the match, a season high, with Coyle posting a team-high of 9. The Hawkeyes’ ability to fight through losing skids will prove valuable as Big Ten play continues, and the flashes of strength from the team’s leaders in its match against Northwestern will be healthy for morale.

TOURNAMENT GOLF CONTINUED FROM8 CONTINUED FROM 8 outstanding.” The tournament was a shotgun best-shot with two foursomes to a hole. This made play a little slow, but the “Voice of the Hawkeyes” and friend of Corson, Gary Dolphin, said it didn’t matter. “We were I think 5-under, which is pretty good given the group I’m with,” Dolphin said. “We [weren’t] very good as a group, collectively, but you know, everyone makes a putt here and a great shot there, and everybody contributed. It [took] us a little longer to play, but when you think of the bottom line of what it’s all for, it’s well worth it.” Despite this being his one weekend off work on the Iowa football schedule, the cause was worth being away from home. “I was only too happy to come out and help out any way I can,” Dolphin said. “We [raised] a lot of money even though it [was] a little chilly and windy, but golfers are some of the toughest human beings on Earth, they can play through anything. It [was] a great day; it really [was].” All of the money from the event, including an entrance fee for golf, a provided dinner, and both a silent and live auction, went toward the Children’s Hospital. Something that Corson wanted to do from the beginning was make a video of all of the golfers waving to send to the kids in Iowa City. He accomplished that goal twice. Four hundred students from Waverly Shell-Rock Middle School made “Get Well” banners to send to the hospital. They then went outside, played Pat Green’s song “Wave on Wave,” and made a drone video. The golfers did the same thing at the tournament. Corson’s goal was to have an effect on the children he knows are struggling more than he ever has, and by turning a tough time into a positive thing, he has achieved that.
three. She tallied a career-low 18-hole score of 69 (3-under) with 3 birdies in the last nine holes to lift her to the title. “It is really exciting, I have not been home for a home tournament, so it was nice to show it off,” Rennegarbe said. “It was a good day, and we won as a team. I tried to stay patient, and good things came.” Along with Rennegarbe, the Hawkeyes had three players finish in the top 10 and earn career-best finishes: senior Kristin Glesne and freshmen Manuela Lizarazu and Dana Lerner. Lizarazu shot 6 birdies through the first two rounds to lead her to a third-place finish and a three-round career-high of 223. “I felt really good; I think as a team we accomplished something we were hoping to accomplish,” Lizarazu said. “It was super important for all of us, and we did a really good job. I wanted to stay positive and give the best that I could.” Glesne followed in fourth place with an overall score of 226. Lerner made her home
X-C CONTINUED FROM 8 had so far this season,” senior Andrea Shine said. “I think just knowing that we’re able to compete with some of the best teams out there and not holding ourselves back by thinking that these teams are better or more competitive than us allowed the girls to really get in position to be strong competitors, and then as a result, we had one of our best team finishes of the season, given the level of competition.”

Sophomore Brett Permann made her Hawkeye début on Sunday tying for 13th place with a 234. Iowa stood out and had four more Hawkeyes get their name on the leaderboard. Stephanie Herzog tied for 10th overall as an individual
with a 233. Sophomore Rachel Fujitani and junior Sophie Liu tied for 32nd with a 54-hole total of 238, and sophomore Annalee Dannegger tied for 48th. “We had some great individual battles out there today, and I think we gained a lot of confidence moving forward,
and I am very proud of them,” Menzel said. “Just really proud to be here at Finkbine and get a win in front of a home crowd.” Iowa was one of nine teams to participate in the tournament algong with North Dakota State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, Drake,
Western Michigan, Omaha, Ball State, and Illinois-Chicago. With this win under their belt, the Hawkeyes can focus on the next challenge. The team will travel to Sammamish, Washington, on Oct. 9-10 to compete in the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational.
This underdog finish was led yet again by Shine. The senior placed 15th in the 5,000 meters, breaking a personal-best by six seconds with a time of 17:20.29. Following Shine from Iowa was Megan Schott at 30th, Anna Hostetler at 41st, Grace McCabe at 76th, and Jessica McKee at 91st. The first five Iowa women finished within a minute of each other and will continue to work toward shrinking that time. “I think the team performed great this weekend,” Shine said. “I’m left feeling pretty content where we are,
not as a team, but where we are in the season. At Notre Dame, everybody made some great improvements trying to slowly close the gap from our 1 to 5 runner.” Shine wasn’t the only senior to lead the team and break a personal best. Daniel Soto was the first finisher for the Iowa men in the five-mile race, placing 14th in 24:16.19 — a 30-second difference from his previous personal-best. Following Soto was Nathan Mylenek at 36th, Brandon Cooley at 53rd, Karson Sommer at 67th with a personal best of 25:10.3, and Noah
Healy at 76th with a personal best of 25:25.8. The lengthy five-miler presents the opportunity for the harriers to put their racing strategy and endurance to the test. “The way that Notre Dame is set up, the first mile tends to be really, really fast,” Soto said. “A lot of guys will make the mistake going out the first mile really, really hard, and then in the last mile, they pay for it.” The Hawkeye men finished behind regionally ranked BYU (No. 2, Mountain) in first, Wyoming (No. 9, Mountain), Notre Dame (No. 5, Great Lakes),
Furman (No. 3, Southeast), Weber State (No. 10, Mountain), Dayton (No. 9, Great Lakes), Florida State (No. 4, South), and Illinois State (No. 8, Midwest). “It’s exciting to get a chance to compete with the best,” Soto said. “It was fun to throw my hat in the ring with them, and see how long I could hang out, and if I could beat some of the other guys.” The Iowa harriers will have two weeks off before the women travel to Illinois for the Bradley Invitational on Oct. 12 and the men to Wisconsin for the Pre-Nationals meet on Oct. 13.

HAWKEYE UPDATES Beathard, Kittle shine for 49ers
Former Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard started his first game under center for the San Francisco 49ers this season on Sunday, and even though his squad lost, 29-27, to the Los Angeles Chargers, he found a familiar target. San Francisco tight end George Kittle — a favorite target of Beathard’s while at Iowa — emerged as Beathard a serious playmaking threat, catching 6 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown, including an 82-yard catch-and-run score. Starting in place of Jimmy Garoppolo, who went down last week with a torn ACL, Beathard completed 23-of-37 passes for 298 yards and 2 touchdowns, along with 2 interceptions. With Garoppolo out, the 49ers could sign a veteran quarterback to start for the remainder of the season, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that San Francisco believes Beathard will be productive, and it is not interested in trading for a high-profile quarterback.

anna-kayser@uiowa.edu WAVERLY, Iowa — Despite a chilly wind and a high of 54 degrees, 148 golfers, along with an entire community, bundled up to raise more than $135,000 for the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital. On Sept. 28, the town of Waverly, Iowa, came together for Dukie’s One Eye Open, a golf tournament in honor of a man who does so much to help the community on a daily basis. Steve Corson, known as “Duke” to everyone who knows him, suffered a spontaneous retina and macula detachment that ultimately caused him to lose sight in his right eye. During his time at the UIHC, he began to realize that the children in the next building over needed more support than he did. “We want them to get better, and this
is our way of supporting,” Corson said. “Plus, if we can possibly send a little love their way with $100,000, that’ll help.” Corson’s eye patch and his experience in helping people through their most difficult times as the president of a local funeral home helped in his journey of healing. The golf tournament, originally thought of by Duke and the staff at Prairie Links Golf and Event Center to be a small gathering with friends, turned into a community-wide effort. “This kind of started out as a joke to be honest, and then [we] got together and said, ‘No, let’s really make this happen,’ ” said Morgan Pierce, the general manager of Prairie Links Golf Course and Events Center. “It’s been wonderful. The amount of support that’s come Anna Kayser/The Daily Iowan in through the community has been TOP: A banner made for the kids at the UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital waves in the wind at Dukie’s One Eye Open in Waverly, Iowa, on Sept. 28.
