Mangino is out, Sturdy is in By Ryan.Young and Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com ISU coach Paul Rhoads announced Monday that Mark Mangino is out as offensive coordinator. Rhoads broke the news in his weekly Monday press conference, but did not specify whether Mangino resigned or was let go by Rhoads. He did say, though, that Mangino did not like the
changes that were being made with the offense. “I had to make a change at offensive coordinator this morning,” Rhoads said. “Mark and I couldn’t get on the same page on a few important items. We tried to talk that through again this morning in an effort to get us moving in a different direction. In the end, Mark was not interested in that. I wish that wasn’t the case.” Quarterback coach Todd Sturdy will take over as offensive
coordinator for the rest of the season, according to tweets from the press conference. Tommy Mangino, Mark’s son, will remain on staff as the wide receivers coach. Athletic Director Jamie Pollard went on the radio on the Murph and Andy Show on 1460 KXNO Des Moines Monday to talk about his involvement with Mangino’s departure and what he believes went into Rhoads’

YELL LIKE HELL

Students perform their annual Yell Like Hell skits on Central Campus Sunday afternoon. The skits that were performed ranged in themes from the Wild West to Cinderella to Jurassic Park.
Greek students perform skits, bring Homecoming spirit to Iowa State By Sydney.McLaughlin @iowastatedaily.com

rowds of greek community members approach the parking lots of Hilton Coliseum at 8 p.m. on a Tuesday for two hours of stomping, hanging out with friends and a whole lot of yelling. The 14 pairings waste no time getting started, knowing there is very little resting time available if they want to win the friendly competition. This is hard work and losing their voices may prove inevitable. Nineteen practices later, adrenaline rushing, the groups come face to face with the stage on Central Campus for first
cuts with sweaty palms and one common goal in mind: win Yell Like Hell. Established in 1963, Yell Like Hell started as a way for residence halls to get involved with Homecoming by coming up with a yell that would be judged on originality and charisma. Now, Yell Like Hell is well known around campus as a greek tradition, but is not limited to the greek community. Homecoming co-chairs are contemplating a way to break down the barrier between greeks and non-greeks, but it might be a long process because some students have the idea that Homecoming festivities are restricted to greeks. Lisa Friesth and Kensie Noble, Homecoming
2015 general co-chairs, have high hopes for eliminating the divide. “That’s the one thing about Homecoming we really want to try to make an impact on,” Friesth said. “Homecoming is for everyone at the university, not just the greek community.” Each sorority and fraternity is required to participate in Yell Like Hell and is assigned two co-chairs per chapter. The co-chairs are given a rulebook of time limits and safety precautions they must take into consideration when coming up with their skits. Pairings consist of three or four different chapters, usually a large fraternity and sorority, and either one or two smaller chapters.
This year’s Homecoming theme is Making a STATEment, which encourages students to become more involved in Homecoming and their time at Iowa State. This theme will be incorporated into each skit by the co-chairs during the planning process. Cochairs also come up with their own theme to integrate into their script. “Every pairing chooses a theme as well,” Friesth said. “For example, they have previously incorporated themes like ‘Finding Nemo’ and ‘Tangled.’ Once the skit has been approved by Friesth and Noble, it’s up to the individual Yell Like Hell co-chairs to lead their

Alpha Gamma Rho happy to host Carson By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com

Members of Alpha Gamma Rho gather for a photo with Ben Carson, 2016 Republican presidential candidate, during his visit to the fraternity Saturday.
The members of Alpha Gamma Rho had a unique opportunity this past Saturday: host a breakfast event for Ben Carson, the new Republican frontrunner in Iowa. When the Carson campaign couldn’t get a room in the Memorial Union for a Saturday morning event, it reached out to Alpha Gamma Rho early last week asking to host an event, said Alpha Gamma Rho President Matt Kerns, graduate in business administration, and Mitchell Hora, junior in agricultural systems technology. The event was only publicized
for a few days after being finalized Tuesday. Between 250 and 300 people, mostly students, turned out for the 8:30 a.m. event Saturday morning. Hora said the campaign took care of most of the planning and setup, like paying for the Casey’s Pizza that was provided, setting up the sound and stage at the event and chalking around campus to publicize the event. Carson also taped an appearance on NBC’s Sunday morning program “Meet The Press” inside the fraternity home before the event, and NBC wanted access to the house for setup at 5 a.m. Saturday.

The Graduate and Professional Student Senate passed a graduate clubs funding bill at 96 percent, with 4 percent abstaining, Monday night regarding its regular financial allocations. The bill allocates $8,863.35 to 16 graduate clubs for funding. The remaining $8,136.65 of the budget will be rolled into the spring semester. Sen. Ashton Archer opened the floor to discussion about graduate and professional student rights. She and other senators have developed a draft of a graduate student bill of rights. “This arose after a lot of different issues came up in our department,” Archer said. “After looking around Iowa State’s website and the grad college [website], we realized there wasn’t a bill of rights.” Archer said she wanted to gather input on the draft before “throwing a bill into the meeting.” Graduate and professional student rights should include clearly-communicated requirements; an understanding of the required time to earn a degree and the ability to freely ask questions about that right; the right to change faculty advisers and the right to know about changes to funding regarding research. The students should also be held responsible for dedicating a reasonable amount of effort toward completing a degree, upholding high equitable standards of research and regularly communicating with an adviser. “The goal is to address [student rights and responsibilities] in the graduate student handbook,” said Zachary Zenko, GPSS president. The most important issue this bill of rights could help combat is that graduate students and employees should not be expected to work if they are not legally eligible because of visas or contracts expiring. “‘You need to be in the lab or else’ is the type of situation we are trying to avoid,” Archer said. “The department was moving extremely slowly to remedy the issue, so we wanted to fix it ourselves.” Sen. Anna Prisacari, Sen. Nathan Davis and Sen. Michael Belding plan to draft a resolution to address the concerns over the increase in international student tuition and the proposal that went to the Board of Regents. The resolution will be introduced in November and will discuss the Senate’s concerns about the lack of major public discussion the Regents committees had about the increase. The regents will vote on the proposal in December.
