Update your Cyclone style by dealing into Homecoming Heritage
The 100 years of celebration and tradition comes to a culmination with this year’s Cytennial Homecoming. Samuel Beyer, an ISU professor in 1912, brought the first Homecoming to Iowa State as a celebration of alumni. The celebration would be the same week as the football game against rival University of Iowa. The football team lost to Iowa 20-7 in this first game and did not win a homecoming game until 1917 against Kansas State. With more than 150 alumni returning that first year, the event was labeled a success and the tradition continued.

As online exams increase, Carver reaches capacity Fewer students utilize Gilman’s testing center By Rachel.Sinn @iowastatedaily.com Despite having the same resources and technology, the online testing center location in Gilman has been largely underutilized, said Doug Bull, testing center coordinator. While the Carver Hall online testing center has always brought lines of students to take their proctored exams, a second location in Gilman has so far received little attention this year. “I think there are going to continue to be changes, one thing I’m certain about is there will be more usage of these types of [online testing] facilities,” Bull said. “I suspect that eventually there will have to be an additional location beyond the two that we have, maybe even a fourth
