StuGov sends initiatives

By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com Senators in Student Government have approved a list of initiatives to be sent to administration at Iowa State to continue the conversation to improve the experience multicultural students have on campus.

The Student Government Senate voted unanimously to pass a bill to send recommendations to university administrators for initiatives regarding diversity on campus.

The bill was sent to the Senate

floor after concern for the safety and well-being of multicultural students, faculty and staff at Iowa State was brought forward on campus. Discussions have also taken place on campus, including an open forum Sept. 14 with university administration and multicultural students who lead Students Against Bigotry.

In the Senate bill, the list of the suggested initiatives for administration to make include: the creation of a multicultural Safe Zone Program for faculty, staff, graduate assistants and student leaders; addition of a multicultural liaison officer and sensitivity training for

ISU Police officers; the addition of a diversity awareness course for incoming students similar to that of the Title IX and AlcoholEDU training; the improvement of existing cultural centers and considering the needs for others based on student feedback; and the establishment of multicultural based, non-residential learning communities in each college and provide the sufficient resources for each community.

According to the Senate bill, this is not a finite set of solutions, but rather a starting point.

ISU offers financial class Paul completes college tour at Drake

By Jack.Garcia @iowastatedaily.com While most of the classes offered at Iowa State are specific to a chosen career path, one class has the potential to benefit all 36,001 students.

The half semester Human Development Family Studies 183 class is a one-credit, pass/fail class that focuses on many different aspects of money. This includes student debt, loans, making a budget and planning a will.

“This is education I can use,” said Jon Fox, director of the Financial Counseling Clinic at Iowa State.

Fox said this class could help every ISU student, because for a lot of students, it is the first time they learn about post-college financial life.

The class is taught in two manners. One section is taught in-class and in-person, while the other is an online gaming version of the same material.

“It has a leaderboard built into it, and when you do enough activities, you pass the course,” Fox said.

The goal is to not only pass the course but also truly learn and understand financial responsibility.

“We want to get students to do more than just the minimum,” said Jeanna Nation, lecturer in human development and family studies who is in charge of teaching the course. “With the game version, I think we can.”

Both Fox and Nation are interested in teaching students life skills and helping them retain that knowledge past the end of the

“That’s a recipe for disaster,” Paul said in regard to not negotiating.

He generalized the subject to the issue of war.

“War should be the last resort, not the first,” Paul said.

“When war comes, you’ll be the generation that fights it.”

Paul then moved on to the issue of Iran and even questioned if eliminating Saddam Hussein was the right thing to do.

“Are we better off because Saddam Hussein’s gone?” Paul asked.

Iran has gained more power after Iraq was invaded and Saddam Hussein was taken out of power, Paul said.

unrest in the Middle East, Paul said ISIS is using the United States’ weapons against us.

“When we’ve been involved in the Middle East it’s often backfired,” Paul said.“The Arab spring turned into the Arab winter, [and] in the Arab winter, we got chaos.”

Paul then moved on to talk about issues regarding Syria and the Christian Exodus.

“There are more Christians in Syria than other places in the Middle East, other than Egypt,” Paul said. We need to be more diplomatically engaged in the Middle East and work with leaders and send fewer American men and women there to fight.

Paul continued on the topic, expanding the issue to the Middle East as a whole, adding that it may be time for America to take a step

Schools get recognition

By Alex.Hanson, @iowastatedaily.com Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad will declare the month of October as College Application Month during an event at North High School in Des Moines on Friday.

The event will recognize efforts by the Iowa College Application Campaign to increase access to college for high school seniors, especially those in “underserved” populations,

according to a release from the group Wednesday.

“I commend all of the high schools participating in the 2015 Iowa College Application Campaign for taking dedicated action to encourage students to pursue postsecondary education,” Branstad said. “Our increasingly knowledgedriven economy means a college degree or other industry-recognized credential is now the ‘new minimum’ to succeed. With the support received at Iowa

College Application Campaign events, many more Iowa students will make it to college or training after graduation.”

The event will take place at 10:15 a.m. Friday at Des Moines North Schools auditorium.

80 Iowa High Schools are participating in the campaign throghout October to assist high school students in filling out college applications and completing the college admissions process.

The 2016 Dance Marathon at Iowa State will begin Jan. 22, 2016, and continue for 24 hours.

The Dance Marathon event raises money for the

University of Iowa Children’s Hospital, which helps children with lifethreatening illnesses.

This will be the 18th Dance Marathon at Iowa State. Last year’s fundraisers brought in $444,000 for the organization.

When a fundraiser achieves more than $250 in donations, it is invited to the dance party.

The fundraiser will then sign up for one of two 12-hour time slots, when they dance, play games and interact with the children they’re supporting.

The first Dance Marathon raised $20,000, and the organization has now raised, in total, more than $2.7 million for the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital.

Street soccer helps fund student literacy

By Anthony.Weiland @iowastatedaily.com Reading this sentence is impossible for 250 million children, according to the Pencils of Promise website. Pencils of Promise is working to decrease that number and has introduced an opportunity to Iowa State.

Pencils of Promise is an organization that was founded by then-college student Adam Braun that focuses on educating the underprivileged children of the world. Pencils of Promise builds schools, provides reading materials and teacher support and coaching. The organization has built more than 300 schools in Ghana, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Laos, impacting more than 33,000 students.

The organization held a 3-on-3 street soccer tournament that took place at the basketball courts east of Beyer Hall last weekend that was created by Pencils of Promise at ISU. The organization’s goal is to raise $2,000 toward building a school to educate underprivileged children in Ghana, Africa.

But it doesn’t just

build the school. Pencils of Promise makes a point to monitor and evaluate every school to ensure the schools are fully operational and operating daily.

Pencils of Promise is not only teaching children reading, writing and math skills but also knowledge about water, sanitation and hygiene. Knowing these basic skills can decrease the number of children affected by preventable illness.

ISU students took great pride and passion in being able to contribute to a cause that benefits others.

“I just want to thank Steven Way, [president and founder of Pencils of Promise at ISU], for all his hard work and dedication in coming up with all the ideas to raise money and the passion he exerts in planning and executing, especially the street soccer tournament,” said Dina Rocio Aviles, senior in industrial engineering and treasurer and co-founder of Pencils of Promise at ISU. The ISU organization had 12 teams sign up and participate in this year’s street soccer tournament, which took place Saturday and Sunday. Aviles said the event was a success. The organization’s members hope

to make this tournament an annual event, but bigger and better in the future.

Because of a generous donation of all of the supplies needed to build the street soccer enclosure from Central States Roofing, the organization put all of the event registration fees toward its $2,000 goal.

The organization was able to raise $800 from the

tournament. Soccer is just one of many ways it hopes to raise money to support the cause of education.

“We also want to do a black light zumba session,” Aviles said, adding that such an event would help the organization achieve its overall goal of $25,000 to build a school and make its club more known on campus.

It isn’t just the children who use the schools who benefit. Aviles said it’s rewarding for the members of the organization to know they are “making a change in the world” and able to provide an opportunity that she has been fortunate enough to have.

Because of a lack of signups, the street soccer sudden death tournament

has been cancelled. But if students want to rent out the street soccer structure they can contact popatisu@ iastate.edu. All proceeds will go toward building a school in Ghana.

More than 40 sponsors are covering the organization’s operational costs, and all online donations go toward building more schools.

Engineers confident rover will be ready to compete

By Felipe.Cabrera @iowastatedaily.com Interspace travel requires the right tools. A group of ISU engineers has been working on a special tool for a trip to Mars.

For the past three years, a group of engineers has been working on the Mars

Analog Vehicle for Robotic Inspection for the annual Mars Society University Rover Challenge, and it’s almost mission accomplished.

The Mars Society’s University Rover Challenge is an international three-day competition that tasks college students around the world with building a fully functional Mars rover. The objective is clear, but the

task isn’t simple.

The rover must complete four challenges in the arid Utah desert — terrain traversal, astronaut assistance, sample return and construction/repair.

“We have to design a rover to take on those kind of challenges,” said Daniel Mallek, junior in electrical engineering and team leader for the MAVRIC project.

The Mars Analog Vehicle for Robotic Inspection and Construction, known as MAVRIC, is a Mars rover built by ISU students. The rover was designed to compete in the annual Mars Society University Rover Challenge.

“They tell us what the environment is going to be like and what kind of obstacles we need to design our rover to overcome.”

The rover has six wheels controlled by different motors, two antennas for video communications and sending and receiving commands as well as an arm for astronaut assistances and collecting soil samples. All of this will be controlled by software the team wrote itself.

“There’s a lot of different ways to make a rover for this competition,” Mallek said. “We need to find the way that works for us, for our budget and what we’re able to make.”

The team is small, with just five people coming from electrical, software, mechanical and aerospace engineering — each pooling their skills to make the best rover with a $15,000 budget.

“It’s a lot easier to get things done with a smaller team,” Mallek said.

Mallek assigns projects to his team members that cross over each other. The team consists of three sub teams: mechanical, software and electrical.

The arm the rover uses to assist astronauts in the field is comprised of different components that no single engineer can create.

A mechanical engineer has to make sure the arm is designed to complete different tasks, while an electrical engineer is responsible for the electrical component that controls the arm.

Mallek said being on a small team gives people a greater sense of responsibility, which makes them feel dedicated, and inspires them to get more accomplished. But the MAVRIC project isn’t just about winning a competition.

“The primary purpose of [MAVRIC] is learning,” said Josh Delarm, teaching laboratory coordinator in mechanical engineering and former MAVRIC team leader.

Delarm said one of the biggest pit falls in studying engineering is that students don’t get enough hands-on course work in their curriculum. Working on club projects like MAVRIC allows students to gain hands-on experience.

“I’ve had seniors come in from electrical engineering that have no idea how to build a circuit board,” Delarm said. “The curriculum is not structured that way … there’s a big difference between theoretical class stuff and applying it to an actual project.”

Delarm said working on projects like MAVRIC

gives students the opportunity to try and fail and learn from those mistakes, adding that it’s also a good résumé booster. He said everyone has the same class experience, but having practical experience will set students apart.

Delarm said he feels confident the team can be competitive this year. He said he thinks Mallek is a strong leader and has a valuable background in electronics, which the project struggled with the most.

“I feel pretty confident we’ll be able to go to competition this year,” Mallek said. “I don’t see any reason we can’t accomplish our future goals.”

The MAVRIC team meets in Howe Hall 0620 from 10 a.m. to 3 pm. Saturdays.

Bush vs. Rubio: New tensions between old friends

By Travis.Charlson @iowastatedaily.com In the race for the GOP nomination, heated exchanges between certain candidates have been plentiful as each candidate tries to appeal to conservative voters.

Two particular candidates who are often called friends — Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio — have avoided attacking each other in the media. That is, until recently.

Bush recently called out Rubio on his voting record, as the Florida senator has skipped voting in the Senate to campaign for the presidency.

“We should cut the pay of elected officials that don’t show up to work,” Bush said last week at an event in Iowa.

“I don’t know about

you, but this idea that somehow voting isn’t important, I mean what are they supposed to do?” he asked. “They should go to the committee hearings, they should vote.”

These differentiating attacks become more vital as the the Iowa caucuses approach.

“They both try to paint themselves as conservative, but pragmatic,” said David Andersen, assistant professor of political science. “There’s not much of a difference between them.”

Bush and Rubio share many similarities — they both appeal to the Latino population and speak Spanish fluently.

They call Florida home and have worked together in the Florida state government.

Politically, they draw from the same donor base and many of their policies

are similar.

Both candidates were two of the main recipients of former Scott Walker supporters after Walker dropped out of the race late last month.

Experience is one area where Bush differs from Rubio.

Bush — who is 62 years old and the son of a former president and brother to another — often points to his success of implementing conservative policies during his tenure as Florida’s governor.

Rubio doesn’t have the same level of experience as Bush, but hopes his new, energetic and fresh-faced approach can appeal to conservative voters, which is an area where Bush lacks.

Donald Trump has often called Jeb’s campaign “low energy.”

“I’ve been [in Washington] four and a half years. I

haven’t been there 40. I’ve been there long enough to know it’s broken, not so long that I’ve fallen in love with it,” Rubio said at an event in New Hampshire earlier this month.

The similarities between the two, along with their friendship in the past, are set to have a significant impact on the GOP race.

“The longer they both stay in the race, the more it might become an issue,” Andersen said about the possibility of their campaigns affecting their relationship.

In an MSNBC interview earlier this month, Bush was asked if he believed Rubio had the necessary leadership skills to help fix problems in the country.

“Barack Obama didn’t end up having them and he won an election based on the belief that people had that he could, and he didn’t

Republican presidential candidates Marco Rubio, left, and Jeb Bush have recently started attacking each other after spending much of their campaigns resisting attacks because of their longstanding friendship.

even try,” Bush said.

Rubio and Bush have both had decent fundraising success, and as two establishment candidates, are likely to get the GOP nod, even after summer talk about outsider candid-

ate success.

Whether a friendshipturned-rivalry will get voters to believe in one candidate more than the other, tensions between Bush and Rubio appear to have only begun.

EDITORIAL

By Courtney.Carstens @iowastatedaily.com

Katy Klopfenstein/Iowa State Daily

The editorial board debates Iowa’s Hate Crime Law and who it is protecting. Iowa law does not match federal law, which protects gender identitiy and against harassment.

Hate crime law fails Iowans The state of Iowa has a history of being progressive with many of its social policies and laws.

So why, in a state that was one of the first to allow gay marriage and has some of the most inclusive civil rights laws, is our hate crime law so outdated and excluding so many?

The Iowa Legislature needs to improve our hate crime law so it can be more inclusive and protective of all of Iowa’s citizens.

Put simply, a hate crime in Iowa includes any assault, trespassing or criminal mischief incident committed against a person or person’s property because of the person’s race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, political affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, age or disability or because of association with a person of any of those categories.

While this law may seem inclusive to most people, it falls short in three major areas: harassment, gender identity and perception.

Some of these terms are included in the federal hate crime law, so the simple argument that the law has not caught up to the times is not valid. If our federal hate crime law can be so inclusive and protective, shouldn’t we demand better of our state law?

First, Iowa’s hate crime law fails to include harassment as one of the offenses that qualify as a hate crime.

Harassment is a continued unwanted act by a person or group toward another. Because of this, any person being harassed because of the person’s race, religion or any other category listed in the law, is not protected under the hate crime law.

This fails to protect Iowans because anyone who commits harassment against someone because of the person’s association with any of these identities will not be punished like other hate crime offenders.

Second, while the law does include sex, it is a much different category than gender identity.

Sex often refers to a person’s anatomy, while gender refers to a person’s social identity.

Therefore, if a person or a person’s property is attacked because of that person’s gender identity, the act is not a hate crime in Iowa.

The final major, and perhaps most glaring, omission in Iowa’s hate crime law is the phrase “or perceived.” This phrase is included in the federal hate crime law.

Because this phrase is not included in Iowa’s law, assault, trespassing

or criminal mischief against another because the offender perceives the victim as gay, christian, black or anything else under the protected categories when the victim actually is not, does not qualify as a hate crime.

This raises the question — how can victims prove they are of a certain race, sexual orientation or religion if need be when a hate crime is being prosecuted? What if a person is gay but not out to the community? Will it count as a hate crime if the offender perceives the victim as gay?

These are questions that should not have to be asked when it comes to hate crimes.

Students on campus, especially those with disabilities or some of those in the LGBTQA+ community, are particularly vulnerable because our state’s hate crime laws do not protect them.

But isn’t that exactly why we have a hate crime law in the first place?

Put simply, it’s time for our state’s legislature to update the hate crime law and be as inclusive and protective as other hate crime laws.

Our federal government has shown these adjustments can be made, so why isn’t Iowa’s Legislature updating laws to protect all Iowans? Many simply are not safe because of it.

Bicyles need to follow rules of the road

By Traci Stewart Concerned Citizen The subject today is bicycles.

I am glad that people are getting exercise and reducing pollution, but after the recent headline about the biker who lost his court case for a white truck passing too close and what happened recently, I just have to speak up.

Recently, while waiting at a red light, three bikers who were not traveling together rode up in between two lanes of stopped cars. If you are riding on the road, you must obey the rules of the road. Period. No bike lane exists in between the vehicle lanes on any road in Iowa. You represent all bikers, so you need to obey the laws.

Many drivers I have talked to are getting fed up with bicyclists who think they can do whatever they want. So many bikers will go from the street to sidewalk to avoid a stop sign or light. They don’t stop. They do whatever they want to avoid obeying the rules of the road. They want roads and shoul-

ders wider and special lanes just for them, yet they throw it back in drivers’ faces that we have to wait, to obey the law.

Below is what I found on the League of American Bicyclists’ website. The League’s five “Rules of the Road” are the core of the Smart Cycling program and will prepare you for a safe and fun bike commute no matter where you are riding.

Follow the law Your safety and image of bicyclists depend on you. You have the same rights and duties as drivers.

Obey traffic signals and stop signs.

Ride with traffic; use the rightmost lane headed in the direction you are going.

Be predictable Make your intentions clear to everyone on the road. Ride in a straight line and don’t swerve between parked cars. Signal turns, and check behind you well before turning or changing lanes.

Be conspicuous Ride where people can see you and wear bright clothing. Use a front white light, red rear light

and reflectors when visibility is poor. Make eye contact with others and don’t ride on sidewalks.

Think ahead Anticipate what drivers, pedestrians, and other people on bikes will do next. Watch for turning vehicles and ride outside the door zone of parked cars. Look out for debris, potholes, and other road hazards. Cross railroad tracks at right angles.

Ride ready Check that your tires have sufficient air, brakes are working, chain runs smoothly, and quick release levers are closed. Carry tools and supplies that are appropriate for your ride. Wear a helmet. *** A person riding a bicycle on the street or highway has all the rights applicable to the driver of a motor vehicle — and is required to know and obey all traffic laws and rules of the road. Bicyclists who violate traffic laws are subject to the same fines as motor vehicle drivers. According to the City of Ames’ website, “Under Iowa law, both bicyclists and motorists must

comply with the same rules of the road and be afforded the same rights.”

If you are riding on the road you must obey all traffic laws. You are not allowed to go from street/ road to sidewalk to avoid stopping.

If on a sidewalk at a red light, you must wait for green, just like pedestrians and vehicles.

It’s bikers like you who make it hard for those who obey the laws to share the world with drivers.

Everyone needs to obey the rules. Using common courtesy would also be a good idea. Vehicles need to pay more attention to pedestrians, to intersections and bikes. Bikes need to stop like the rest of us.

I would think safety would be a big deal with bikers. Can you really be safe plowing through an intersection with 14 lanes of traffic? Maybe you can because the vehicles are obeying the rules and have stopped. Riding on the road means following road rules, and riding on the sidewalk means following pedestrian rules. Please be safe. Quit riding dangerously.

Act against gun violence on college campuses

By Heaven Chamberlin Sophomore, Political Science On the night of Oct. 8, I held a candlelight vigil dedicated to the nine lives that were lost at Umpqua College when an active shooter entered a class room and slaughtered nine people like cattle.

The morning after the vigil, there were two school shootings, this time at Northern Arizona University and Texas Southern University. Two people were killed in these shootings and five are injured all together. Two people have had their lives cut short today.

Their hopes and dreams are no more.

We stand here today as a nation that does not have universal background checks at a federal level.

We have a Congress, that at the instruction of the gun lobby, refuses to fund research on how to prevent gun violence.

By doing this, our Congress is condoning this slaughter. We, as a nation, must do something as our

children, our friends, our families and strangers are being gunned down en masse.

We must demand common sense gun reform at a federal level.

We can do this if every single ISU student goes to the polls, and if they write to and call their Congress members. We, as a student body, can end this before we too, become a headline in the news.

Just this last month, Hillary Clinton, former first lady, former Secretary of State and now presidential candidate, was part of a skit on Saturday Night Live.

While Clinton is not the first politician to do something like this, it makes me wonder as a constituent whether politicians should play the celebrity card during their campaign.

I don’t believe a person who is supposed to be held in such high regard should be blurring the lines of what it means to be a politician compared with what it means to be an entertainer.

With Donald Trump running as a candidate, this presidential race already looks like a joke. When we add in the publicity stunt he will indulge on Nov. 7 when he hosts Saturday Night Live and what Hillary has already done on Saturday Night Live, our country and government officials appear ridiculous to the outside world. Celebrities shouldn’t run our nation.

One reason many people, mainly sponsors, endorse the idea of these government officials doing such lowly stunts is because the polls often rise for that particular candidate.

This is because some individuals believe politicians make themselves appear more likable or more like the average person, as opposed to a high and mighty authoritarian figure. It also taps into an entire new audience that may not pay as close attention to politics as they do more entertaining subjects.

Gerald Ford experienced a rise in popularity in the polls after making an appearance on Saturday Night Live. His comedic facade was clumsy, which is not something a former president should be remembered for.

Another individual who experienced a rise in popularity was Sarah Palin, former governor of Alaska. Her rise in popularity and 15 minutes of fame wasn’t through politics but as a celebrity on her TLC show called “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” This shows how the line between politics and entertainment has been blurred.

These actions make me question the intent of the American people when they vote for government officials.

Are we voting for our leaders based on their comedic persona and how they appear as a celebrity, or based on their ideas that are supposed to improve the country?

When these political leaders or candidates appear on latenight comedy shows, our national election turns into a high school election — a popularity contest at best.

When we were in high school, many of us voted for the most popular or fun person for class president. Or we voted for who our friends voted for.

We are now doing this in politics and it’s a joke.

The constituents are not voting for the person who has the best ideas for our nation moving forward but are instead voting for the person who presents him or herself as the more hip or cool candidate.

This was not the Founding Fathers’ idea of how the election process should work. Candidates performing as actors or musicians discredits our nation on the world stage.

Our nation has been viewed as the country that seems a little “cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs” since the days of our Founding Fathers because of our ideas on key topics like health care and gun control.

We are laughed at, and my guess is the laughter will only increase in volume as want-tobe celebrities attempt to become the next president of the United States.

When our presidential hopefuls attempt to be the citizen favorite by going on shows like Saturday Night Live, they not only make a fool out of themselves — intentional or not — but also make a fool out of the United States.

Politicians are constantly blurring the lines between what it means to be a highly regarded figure and an entertainer.

While walking this tightrope boosts poll ratings for government hopefuls, we as citizens must make it our primary goal to determine who is the best viable candidate for the the job at hand and not let his or her “act” cloud our judgment.

Burnham, Rhoads defend 3-4 defense

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com This season, the ISU defense put in a 3-4 scheme — something it hoped would slow the fast-paced offenses the Cyclones commonly face in the Big 12.

And while it has worked in stretches so far, criticism surfaced after the Cyclones’ 66-31 loss to Texas Tech on Saturday. Defensive coordinator Wally Burnham didn’t take lightly to the criticism and made that very clear when addressing reporters Tuesday evening.

“I don’t think it’s the 3-4 defense,” Burnham said.

“I think it’s the best thing we can be in and I know some of you guys are questioning it from what I hear on Sunday, but you guys need to come up and tell me something that’s better.

“You all know so much about football. Come and tell me something. Draw me up a game plan. I’ll take

you up to the office now and we’ll sit down and you can draw me up a game plan for TCU if you can come up with something better.”

But after watching the Cyclones’ last game, it’s easy to see where the criticism originated.

What isn’t completely clear is how the blame should be distributed between the scheme itself and the Cyclones’ execution of it.

Texas Tech produced a school-record 776 yards of total offense Saturday, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes passed for 428 yards and five touchdowns.

But to be fair, this was perhaps the first true test of the new scheme this season.

While it is easy to put blame on the defensive calls, Burnham offered a much simpler explanation.

“We didn’t play hard enough. It’s very simple why we got so much yardage and so much points scored on us,” Burnham said. “We

didn’t play hard enough or good enough. We didn’t tackle good enough, we didn’t defend the deep pass enough. It’s not a secret what happened.”

ISU coach Paul Rhoads agreed with Burnham, saying he believes that the pieces are in place for the scheme to do what it is designed to accomplish.

“We’re deployed fine to defend it,” Rhoads said.

“We’ve got to do a better job of executing and performing to what the scheme allows us to do.

“There were some things that Texas Tech did Saturday that every offense is going to do every different week.”

The ISU defense will get another chance against another true air raid offense this weekend when Iowa State takes on No. 3 Texas Christian.

The Horned Frogs average 51 points per game, the third highest in the country.

And when the Cyclones

take the field Saturday, ISU fans can expect Burnham will have his defense lined up in the 3-4 formation.

But they can also ex-

Experimental replay progresses in Big 12

By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com The crowd and players at the ISU home volleyball game against Kansas State on Oct. 7 sat in silence for three minutes while the referees looked at a challenge replay.

The time-consuming challenge characterizes the slow progression of the first year of experimental challenges in Big 12 volleyball.

The NCAA started incorporating challenge replays in the Big 12, Big 10 and Pac-10 conferences to see if was an effective tool.

The start of the experiments has been slow and difficult, but the future is bright, involving more conferences with a few changes in the offseason.

“I think we’re off to a good start, and replays are

Senior Caitlin Nolan prepares to return the volleyball against Kansas State on Oct. 7. The Big 12 is experimenting with replay this season.

getting faster,” said ISU volleyball coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “I think we do need to tweak it, but in the end, it’s supposed to get the call right and it’s a nice tool

to have for the matches.”

Iowa State has only played in six matches in which the challenge system was enacted. Throughout those six matches, Iowa

State has challenged only two calls, and both were upheld.

The experimental challenge replay was agreed upon by all of the Big 12 coaches, who thought it would be a great way to fix some of the close calls.

The Big 12 was one of three conferences chosen for the system because of its accessibility to the technology that is needed.

Basketball uses the same type of technology for its instant replays, so the Big 12 had a simple transition.

The hope for this challenge system is to make it effective in overturning calls, and most importantly, get the right call made.

“I think the system is effective, and it’s nice to be reassured on a close call that referees might not see,” said setter Monique Harris. “At other points in the match,

it tends to slow the game down, so that kind of sucks.”

Outside hitter Ciara Capezio, Harris and Johnson-Lynch agree that the challenge system does slow the game down. As of now, Johnson-Lynch thinks some coaches use a challenge like a timeout because of the lack of consequences.

Johnson-Lynch said there needs to be a punishment, like losing a timeout, if the team loses the challenge. Otherwise, the team has three timeouts and an additional three potential breaks in play from three challenges.

Another issue of the challenge system is the potential for technology and camera angle problems.

Johnson-Lynch noticed the problem with camera angles during two road matches against Oklahoma and Texas last week.

Iowa State challenged a play that a ball hit the antenna, but the gym didn’t have a camera angle to reverse the call. Johnson-Lynch said she has learned from her mistake and will use the challenges when she knows there will be an angle.

In the future, Big 12 volleyball coaches will meet with conference staff and re-evaluate the challenge system. At that time, they will make corrections for the 2016-17 volleyball season, so they can eliminate incorrect calls.

“The goal for this challenge replay system is to make it a universal tool for every college volleyball team in the country,” said Laura Rasmussen, the Big 12 conference communications contact for volleyball. “In the end, we want each call to be correct so the right team wins each match fairly.”

A majority of minorities: ISU tennis team capitalizes on international recruiting

By Ryan.Leon @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State is well known for its international student enrollment. This year, 4,091 international students enrolled, accounting for 11 percent of the student body.

The ISU tennis team is an anomaly when compared with this statistic.

The Cyclones are comprised of 60 percent international students after adding three this season. This has been a common trend for the team, which has been heavily recruiting international prospects under Espinosa’s tenure.

“It’s very difficult for us to recruit American players to Iowa State because we don’t have the traditions that other major programs have,” said ISU tennis coach Armando Espinosa.

This doesn’t mean Iowa State hasn’t tried to compete in the domestic recruiting market. The Cyclones signed their first pair of national players since 2010 with the additions of Liera Bender and Claudia Toledo for the 2014-15 season.

The Cyclones began searching internationally so they could locate the talent to compete with major Big 12 teams. Since opposing teams began gathering top classes littered with blue chips, Cyclones had to adopt a new strategy.

This meant that Espinosa had to start examining the vast pool of international talent. He believes it’s possible to find talent abroad to compete with the top tier of American players because of the increased depth.

Iowa State has a unique advantage because it can offer competition against top-tier opponents and a great education.

These two are generally mutually exclusive abroad, but players are able to pursue both in the United States.

“For most international players, you either go play professionally or you get an education because most universities don’t

have sports programs or scholarships,” said Ana Gasparovic, senior from Zagreb, Croatia.

Once the players decide on Iowa State, they bring a variety of playing styles and world views to the team. This infusion of different styles and ideas has a tremendous impact on the Cyclones, whether they are on or off the court.

“I love playing with all the different cultures,” said Natalie Phippen, the longest tenured domestic player on the team.

“Growing up in America, we all kind of think one way. I think it’s really fun to see how they grew up and how they came to play tennis.”

The international players all tend to bring a different style of play. Over time, Espinosa has noticed slight differences, such as the energy Central and South American players play with, or the aggressive precision of European prospects.

These differences help the Cyclones by providing a variety of challenges to opposing teams, but the styles don’t necessarily translate from player to player.

“We can’t have our smaller players try to play with the power of the taller ones because it won’t have the same effect in a match, so we want them to stick with what they do best and then improve from there,” Espinosa said.

Regardless of style, international players and ISU tennis share a symbiotic

relationship.

Iowa State gives international players multiple opportunities to learn and compete at a high level, which are almost nonexistent outside the United States. International players, in turn, have become the driving force behind ISU tennis.

Meet the international players The Cyclones entered the season with six international players, including three freshmen.

Golden Dragons return to ISU

By Emily.Benda @iowastatedaily.com Parasol balancing, people stacking and onehanded handstands are just a few of the highlights students can expect to see at the Golden Dragon Acrobats showcase at 7 p.m.

Friday at Stephens Auditorium.

The free show is one of Student Union Board’s multicultural events that takes place throughout the semester and is free to the public.

Marcus Cottrell, SUB graduate adviser, said the goal of bringing the Golden Dragon Acrobats to Iowa State was to give spectators a different perspective.

“It’s a community event,” Cottrell said. “It’s meant for Ames citizens as well as students.”

Contortionist Ya Ru Wang agreed that the Golden Dragon Acrobats’ show is not not only about the tricks but also showcases the performers’ Chinese heritage.

“This is a great opportunity for the audiences to learn about the Chinese history and part of our culture,” Wang said. “Audiences can see how much effort, practice and time we put into the show.”

Wang’s parents sent her to acrobatic school when she was a young girl, where she was hand-picked by the troupe’s director, Danny Chang. Wang has been a member of the Golden Dragon Acrobats since she was about 6 years old.

“At first, [I] was nervous but now I enjoy the opportunity to introduce Chinese culture to the audience,” Wang said.

The members of the current touring company tour internationally and have performed in all 48 states of the United States within the past four years.

Wang said the best part of being a part of the Golden Dragon Acrobats was traveling to different places around the world.

Wang said the troupe’s intense touring schedule brings the performers and management together.

Although most performers live far away from their families in China, they create their own support system within the company.

“All of the performers and staff in the company travel, eat [and] work together 24/7,” Wang said.

“We are just like family.”

acting. Palazzo never thought he would change his career from acting to focus on his musical talent.

“I always wanted to be a performer — [or become] a filmmaker [or] an actor,” Palazzo said. “I enjoy being a performer, so however I get to do that is wonderful.

Nothing comes close to the kind of opportunity to spread this music.”

As Palazzo became more aware that he wanted to pursue music, he followed up on a Craigslist posting for an open jazz concert.

This is where fate intervened. After playing together once, Elizabeth and Palazzo decided to continue but never dreamed of being so successful or performing all over the world. “[We are] a happy family traveling the road and playing music we love,” Palazzo said. “It’s the truth, [and] we love what we do.”

The goal of The Hot Sardines is to take music initially written at the turn of the 20th century and modernize it, while influencing today’s generation to appreciate the popular music of the past. “[The Hot Sardines spread] the music — which is 100 years old in some cases — to new generations, [but] we present it in a way that’s very [aware] that we are in 2015,” Palazzo said. “Even though we are playing this old music, you know, wearing a fedora or whatever, we aren’t trying to repeat the past but show that this music is joyous.”

BYSTANDER p1 “Heading for a sexual encounter” doesn’t necessarily mean a sexual assault is going to happen.

“Students are making their own judgment that people who go out and drink want to have sex,” said Michael Davis, assistant director of Student Services and Outreach. “The only natural consequence of going out and drinking is a hangover — not rape, not a sexual encounter. Nothing like that. Why do 20 percent fewer students intervene when alcohol is involved?

In my opinion, it’s partially because we’re on a college campus where many college students think drinking

STUGOV p1 The debate also centered on the addition of a diversity awareness course for all students, both undergraduate and graduate students.

When discussing the Sept. 30 open forum, Vice Speaker of the Senate Michael Snook said it was very

equates sex.”

Bobby Dennis, maleengagement specialist at ACCESS, said several stages exist to intervening as a bystander. First, the bystander needs to notice the event and interpret it as a problem.

“That’s one of the places where it becomes really unclear, especially in an atmosphere where alcohol is involved,” Dennis said. “There’s potential for those students in the bystander position to also be under the influence of alcohol, and they’re afraid of not knowing the whole situation or not knowing the relationship between the people involved. Those things really stop people

from intervening.”

Davis said feeling responsible for dealing with suspected sexual harassment can be an issue.

“It’s sort of diffusion of responsibility,” Davis said.

“People oftentimes see it as an uncomfortable situation and they turn around and think, ‘Well, nobody else is doing anything, so I’d be in the wrong by intervening.’

And the fear of retaliation and embarrassment might also be there.”

Once the student feels responsible for intervening, he or she can intervene in other ways than just “getting in someone’s face,” Dennis said. He and Allen recommended creating a diversion from the situation.

Both Davis and Allen also said not knowing what to do is a big factor in the reluctance to intervene.

Dennis said one of the proactive measures students can take is discussing potential situations before hosting social gatherings.

“Just like you’d tell someone not to spill on your carpet, you tell someone not to walk around sexually harassing women,” Dennis said. “It’s really that simple.”

The next question is how can a college campus begin to change its culture regarding sexual assault.

The consensus appears to involve campus peer leaders.

“People like me or [ISU Police] or other faculty can’t

be everywhere, so our focus needs to be aimed at taking peers and giving them the skills to have those conversations about sexual assault prevention,” Dennis said.

“Take somebody out of every peer group on campus and give them the skills to talk about sexual assault prevention, so they go back to their peer groups and they start a dialogue around this issue.”

One of the several organizations around campus that has taken aim at preventing sexual assaults is Sigma Phi Epsilon, which paired with Alpha Delta Pi to bring the Live Your Oath campaign to Iowa State.

“It’s been an initiative we’ve taken as a chapter,”

said Dylan Roth, Sigma Phi Epsilon president. “There’s a lot of stuff going on nationwide, so it’s something that we’ve been addressing this semester.”

Roth also alluded to avoiding the diffusion of responsibility mindset within his chapter, and that members of his chapter have reported having success in defusing potentially dangerous situations.

“We’ve pushed our members and encouraged them to not be that guy that says, ‘Oh, I’ll let someone else handle that,’” Roth said.

“We’ve had guys bring back stories where they’ve said, ‘I saw this going on, I went in and I did something to bring about a solution.’”

eye-opening for a lot of students.

“A diversity awareness course would help students be more conscious of their words and actions,” Snook said.

Sen. Robert Dunn proposed an amendment to the bill that would make the implementation of the course voluntary for students.

This amendment failed 37 to 4 after a vote from the Senate.

Sen. Meredith Cook said the training needed to be mandatory because students would not take it otherwise. Dunn argued that if senators are serious about having something about diversity they need to do something else other than a

mandatory course.

“That’s why we think it should be voluntary and that we should highly encourage students to learn,” he said. “If you want people to understand where you are coming from, you can’t force them to do it.”

Some senators argued that students would not pay attention to the online

course.

Sen. Conner Tillo said if the training gets through even to one person, then he feels like this will be a success.

An amendment was also proposed that changed the resolution, so it did not specify that the course was taken online. This passed unanimously from the Sen-

ate.

Several senators pointed out that Student Government was not making the decision on these solutions, but rather offering suggestions.

President Dan Breitbarth said the resolutions are not perfect solutions but 75004and will spur conversation positive change.
