Iowa State makes fourth quarter push to beat KSU BY aaron.marner @iowastatedaily.com For 55 minutes, Iowa State looked completely outmatched against Kansas State.

The Cyclones fell behind by as many as 17 points. There were sloppy turnovers, missed tackles and special teams miscues, helping fans

coin “Cardiac ‘Clones” for the stressful game. It looked nothing like the Iowa State team that won five games in a row earlier this season.

But football is a 60-minute game, and Iowa State made all 60 minutes count in its 42-38 win over Kansas State, ending a 10-year losing streak to the Wildcats.

“Today was a powerful day,” said coach Matt Campbell. “I challenged our football team last week [that] I really hope they got to tell their story.

“The chips were against them. It’s been really fun to coach ... this team has never disappointed me.”

The win was a microcosm of Iowa State’s (7-4, 6-3 Big 12) season up to this point.

Just like the team stumbled to a 1-3 start to

the season, the Cyclones fell behind 21-14 at halftime against Kansas State.

A touchdown was called back due to offensive pass interference. A 38-yard field goal sailed wide left. A Kansas State punt was fumbled and recovered by the Wildcats, leading to a last-minute touchdown drive before halftime.

Yet the Cyclones kept fighting. Led by freshman quarterback Brock Purdy, junior running back David Montgomery and redshirt junior receiver Hakeem Butler, the offense fired back in the second half with three big scores.

“We’ve had to grow,” Campbell said. “We’ve had to learn and fail. Nobody likes to fail, but that’s real. You have to learn from your

City to discuss flood management BY talon.delaney @iowastatedaily.com

SARAH HENRY/ IOWA STATE DAILY City Council will decide whether or not to authorize eminent domain to get land from two Ames property owners for the city’s flood water management.

Am e s C i t y C o u n c i l m ay authorize the use of eminent domain to procure land from two Ames property owners in order to comply with the city’s plans to improve flood water distribution during their meeting Tuesday evening.

The East Industrial Utility Extension Program (EIUEP) requires land from 12 different Ames property owners for the creation of a water main, force sewer and eventually a water tower.

A and R Land Services, Inc. reached out to the landowners earlier this month concerning

the project.

So far, four of those landowners have signed agreements with A and R, six are still in the deal making process and another two have flat out refused to comply.

However, the council may vote to allow the city to forcibly obtain the needed land, with compensation.

City of Ames staff “will continue to make good faith efforts to negotiate land and easement acquisitions with property owners, but requests that eminent domain be authorized at this time to prevent any future delays,” council documents

Raymond Arritt, professor of agronomy at Iowa State, died Nov. 14 after experiencing a stroke last week.

A visitation will be held Monday at Stevens Memorial Chapel from 5 to 7 p.m. A memorial service will be held Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. at Stevens Memorial Chapel. A reception will follow the memorial service at Northminster Presbyterian Church.

Arritt started as an associate professor at Iowa State in 1993 after serving as a research associate at Colorado State and as an assistant professor at the University of Kansas. Arritt was promoted to professor at Iowa State in 2000.

“Dr. Arritt was an integral part of our agricultural meteorology team for 25 years,” according to a press release from the department of agronomy. “He was a valued contributor to research, not only within our department but around the world.”

Arr itt also oper ated the Iowa Environmental Mesonet, which is a centralized data collection of weather and climate data.

Arritt taught a variety of courses at Iowa State, including Agronomy 206 and 406, in addition to a number of graduate courses.

Arritt was born and grew up in Virginia. He earned both his bachelors of science and master’s degree in environmental science from the University of Virginia.

He then earned his doctorate in atmospheric sciences from Colorado State in 1985.

“Dr. Arritt will be missed tremendously,” according to the release. “Our deepest sympathies to his family and many friends.”

BRINGING TIME & DEDICATION Members of the marching band give their all

BY Sierra.Hoeger @iowastatedaily.com Three hundred and forty three alarms go off at the crack of dawn to excite Iowa State Marching Band members on game day.

No two performances are the same. Some games, members dress in their typical band uniform and other games members may dress in an inflatable dinosaur costume.

“There is nothing that matches the feeling of being on the field after pregame [performance] when those sirens go off and the whole stadium just roars with excitement,” said Shelby Robinson, junior in Iowa State Marching Band.

The Iowa State Cyclone Varsity Marching Band practices and performs a pregame and halftime show for each home game. The members typically have two weeks to prepare and put

together a show.

“We rehearse every week, and this season was really challenging, because we had six weekends in a row of activities because we traveled to Iowa as well,” said Christian Carichner, marching band director. “So, it made it really hard, and there were some weeks where we had a one-week turnaround.”

The band is mostly made up of non-music majors. These students are encouraged to learn

time-management skills. Carichner said he is proud of how well the students manage their studies as well as marching band, even on those one week turn-arounds.

“This year is also really challenging with the weather,” Carichner said. “It really ruined our field for a few weeks, and made it difficult to practice outside, and we don’t have a place to practice indoors, so it was really a testament to the students who put on those shows this year.”

Planning shows for the upcoming academic year can begin as early as February. Carichner and a team of directors accept ideas from members of the band, and use their own intuition to decide what would make good shows throughout the course of the season. They then reveal the shows to the students around the same time as finals, during the spring semester.

Planned performances can change with the weather and tragedies. Iowa State Marching Band changed their planned performance, in September, after Celia Barquín Arozamena was killed.

“I think it came across in a really great way, it was humbling that they [athletics department]

asked us to be a part of that tribute and it showed how, in some ways, the marching band is a pretty big thread in the fabric of the university,” Carichner said.

Arozamena was honored at the Sept. 22 game as Female Athlete of the Year.

The band changed their traditional ISU formation during the pregame performance and instead, spelled out Arozamena’s initials, CBA. Some people might say members of the band are crazy for looking forward to game days, due to the early wake up calls. For an 11 p.m. kickoff, band members have to be at the stadium by 5:30 a.m.

“The cool part about our students and our band is that the second we see them, they are so amped right away,” Carichner said. “They come into the facility [where] we practice and they’re screaming ‘It’s game day!,’ and they’re super excited and super pumped. To have that kind of spirit sustained for that amount of time, that’s nine or ten hours of sustained Cyclone spirit.

Study shows weightlifting lowers risk of cardiovascular disease

BY Adolfo Espitia @iowastatedaily.com Carrying heavy groceries can potentially be beneficial to your heart.

Part of a funded project in the National Institute of Health (NIH), Iowa State followed over 12,000 middle aged men and women for 10 to 11 years, tracking the rate of death by heart attack or stroke. The studies found that around an hour of weightlifting per week was associated with 40-70 percent decrease risk of developing cardiovascular D.C. disease.

LEE D.C. (Duck-chul) Lee, an associate professor in the kinesiology department and researcher, said a surprising finding in the study indicated that weightlifting more than an hour at the gym provided no additional benefits.

“More than four times per week, for an hour or more per week was not associated with additional benefits, that was a little surprising,” Lee said.

For students that aren’t gym-goers, Lee said muscle strengthening activities could include: pushing a lawnmower,

body weight exercises and even carrying heavy groceries. Lee said that strength training is under-appreciated and that roughly 20 percent of Americans meet the muscle strength guidelines, critical for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

For beginner gym-goers, Lee recommended that for general muscle strength, students should perform 2-3 sets of 8-12

reps, picking a weight that allows to do only a maximum of 12 reps. Beginners should start showing benefits by 8-12 weeks of strength training.

Strength training is not only excluded to men, Lee said it is very important for women to include strength training in their exercise regime.

Lee said women should also strength train by gradually increasing in intensity of resistance exercise. By gradually increasing in repetition, women can prevent injury, especially for those who have never strength trained.

Lee also said students should continue exercise even if they don’t see immediate weight loss. Students can still get healthier if there is no physical change. Aside from cardiovascular benefits, strength training can also reduce anxiety and depression, which Lee said is important for students.

“Even though you do not lose weight, you still get cardiovascular benefits,” Lee said. “Many people believe ‘If I exercise I will lose weight and that’s why I get health benefits’, but that is not true. Don’t stop exercising if you don’t lose weight.”

What about the students who are concerned about looking like a bodybuilder?

Lee said it is very difficult to obtain that image. It would not be realistic, and it wouldn’t happen for most people.

COURTESY OF THE IOWA STATE COMPOST TEAM “The thing I love best about engineers for a sustainable world and our compost team is that we love ideas,” Moyna said. “That’s what really fuels our club is ideas.”

Club works to a sustainable future Compost team uses trial projects to reach an eco-friendly campus

BY Jordyn.DuBois @iowastatedaily.com The compost team on campus is one of six project teams under the Engineers for Sustainable Growth. Carissa Moyna is the president and founder of the compost team and works with her team to spread composting across campus.

The group was founded in fall of 2017 after Moyna found a passion for compost after researching the topic. Beginning with no attendees at their first meeting, the compost team is now up to five dedicated members who work on spreading awareness regarding composting.

Compost club meets every Thursday to go over new ideas and update the group on where projects are in the process. Each project takes around a year between planning, getting approval and getting it started.

“The thing I love best about engineers for a sustainable world and our compost team is that we love ideas,” Moyna said. “That’s what really fuels our club is ideas.”

Each new idea brought to the club from a member is discussed at meetings. If a member

is passionate about a project and has a good plan, the team supports the member and helps brainstorm ways to make the project successful.

The team is currently working on a trial project, which would include starting composting in the towers. In one of the towers each floor would have a compost bin taken care of by the recycle chair. The other tower would get a compost bin for every other floor and the club would see which option was more effective.

“A big part is you can put the compost bin there but students have to know how to use it,” Moyna said.

After a recent outreach event “Ted talk and tacos,” the compost team is looking at more outreach events for the fall semester to bring more awareness to the club and the importance of composting. A follow up survey from the event showed an interest in the club and learning more about composting.

If you are interested in joining the compost team or would like to learn more about the different groups in Engineers for Sustainable Growth you can contact Carissa Moyna at cmoyna@iastate.edu. The club is free to join and can be joined at any point in the semester.

Snow storm misses Ames, snow possible later in week BY devyn.leeson @iowastatedaily.com While the first winter storm of the year just missed Ames, other areas across the state received upwards of 14 inches of snow.

The snow storm was pushed more than 30 miles south and outside the range of Ames by “an underestimated southbound wind,” said Allan Curtis of the National Weather Service.

“A lot of these winter weather paths have a degree of uncertainty,” Curtis said. “One thing that we know and has come to fruition

is where the heavy snowfall has occurred. The part we didn’t know really was the northern edge of the storm — whether we would see snow in Ames or even Des Moines.”

The City of Ames was aware of the likelihood snow wasn’t going to fall but was preparing for the worst scenario where Ames could have gotten four inches of snow.

In this scenario, Ames students traveling home from Thanksgiving break could have had issues traveling safely through Ames.

The city also released a statement reminding people of the snow

ordinance that triggers when two or more inches of snow falls and makes residents move their cars out of streets that are designated snow routes.

“We are preparing for the worst though,” said Justin Clausen, operations manager for the Department of Public Works. “Students coming back from Thanksgiving break heightens the need to get this information out as soon as possible — that there is a storm coming and that the snow ordinance could be in effect.”

While Ames received no snow and the ordinance never went into

effect, Ames could be receiving enough snow later in the week to potentially trigger the ordinance.

“When we look into the week, maybe next Friday or Saturday, we could see more snow in Ames,” Curtis said. “But our models are, for the lack of a better term, all over the place. When we are looking at one model it is saying something different than other models that we use.”

If a significant amount of snow falls, it is important to know the details of the Ames snow ordinance.

The ordinance requires people with vehicles parked along designated snow routes, which are

labeled by red and white signs, to move their vehicles to routes not used by the plows.

Vehicles can return to being parked on the street after snow stops falling and the street has been plowed “curb to curb.”

While it isn’t required to remove cars from areas and streets that aren’t designated snow routes, the City of Ames recommends all Ames residents move their vehicles out of residential streets so people can travel as safely as possible.

Vehicles in violation of the ordinance can be ticketed and in some cases towed.

LETTER

‘I look forward to CyRide 3.0’

BY JIE.LI @iowastatedaily.com Dear CyRide Director, I am writing to voice my concern on CyRide 2.0. In my opinion, CyRide mapped out this big change without properly consulting all stakeholders, especially ISU students and employees, who constitute the majority of CyRide users. As a result, riders suffer from long waiting time, drastically reduced service in break time, and no or minimal service in strategic locations, such as Ames High School.

Moreover, Ames is known for its inclement weather. We used to be able to take shelter from the buildings along Osborn Drive. Now in front of the Student Services building, we are exposed to the elements. It is no fun to shiver in the bone-chilling wind or perspire under the scorching sun to wait for a bus to arrive. Also, I have no flattering comments on CyRide’s choice of Beyer Hall as the point of departure for added red and cherry buses. Isn’t it strange that we’re all ferried to the Student Services Building to see our buses leave without us from the next stop down the road?

There are bus drivers who leave when the minute arrives no matter what, but this mechanical policy and mentality seem to treat people as machines and run the risk of alienating riders. Drivers are not machines. They should be allowed the opportunity to make a judgment call. A minute has ample wiggle room for them to handle situations. Riders as well are not machines. They deserve to be treated humanely.

Incidences like the above prompt one to doubt whether CyRide 2.0 has the best interest of its riders in mind. In fact, this “no guaranteed transfer” policy is just a hallmark of CyRide shifting from a rider-friendly service to a management-centered company. Another one is its decision to practically stop servicing the high school. Riders are notified of its decision. That’s it. But why? Shouldn’t public transportation cover strategic locations of the city?

I have a teenager at home. Now driving him to and from high school events has consumed a good part of my spare time. Even worse, for unplanned pickups, I have to ride a bus home, take the car, and drive to the high school to get him, because there is literally no way for him to travel from the high school to home by bus, and I unfortunately do not drive to work regularly.

Ames High students taking courses from ISU are complaining loudly, too. They used to be able

IOWA STATE DAILY Reader Jie Li does not believe that CyRide 2.0 is best for the city of Ames and believes that CyRide should prioritize its riders rather than following a “management-centered” company.

to take public transportation to the university.

Now, with CyRide’s absence, even if they can drive, they have to get someone to drive them both ways because it is not easy to park at ISU. Imagine what pain CyRide 2.0 has inflicted upon parents and students who have to make difficult driving arrangements that they didn’t have to make before. What is more, imagine people in Schilletter/University Villages and many other residents of Ames who suffer from CyRide’s reduced and scrapped services in their locality. Why do we have to be in this lose-lose situation?

During this Thanksgiving break, it is so hard to travel from west town to Central Campus by bus that I have to drive to work.

The Thanksgiving break is just three work days, but there will be a winter break, spring break, and a long summer break. The future prospects are bleak. In the good old days prior to CyRide 2.0, I could count on easily going to work and returning home in a timely fashion even when

ISU was off session, because only the greyed slots on the bus schedule would stop and everything else was run as usual. Now without 11, 12, 25, and with no ready transfers between red and green, riding CyRide is just not worth the while for people living in west town. One cannot help shaking the head when considering the vast number of apartments built in West Ames. It is an error for CyRide to discontinue 1A. It will be most efficient for a bus to run directly from Central Campus to address the needs of riders lodging in the West. Why can’t there be a new lilac that runs from Kildee Hall to Steinbeck Street that offers the same level of services in break days as the old 1A? CyRide 2.0 has run for three months. It is reckoning time. One has good reason to suspect that CyRide 2.0 may be the decision of a person or a group of people who do not live in Ames and/or do not ride the buses to and from work. Without leaving the comfort of the office, one cannot really step into the shoes of

those having to wait outside for a bus no matter whether the temperature is subzero or in the 90s. CyRide customers appreciate short waiting time, convenient transfers, friendly drivers, and a reliable public transportation service that can take them to important places of Ames.

Granted, not all experiments are successful, the wise learn from mistakes. CyRide should put priority on eliminating waste and effectively collecting and using data. Going back to the age old CyRide schedule is not bad. After all, it had a proven track record of satisfying riders and was a major reason for Ames to be ranked among the best places to live. Even better, we can garner important lessons from the disappointing CyRide 2.0, make small tweaks to the original CyRide, call it CyRide 3.0, and move on. CyRide should go back to being the transportation that made Ames proud. I look forward to CyRide 3.0.

Is all the holiday shopping worth it?

Thanksgiving often gives Americans a week-long break to see friends, family and students the chance to catch up on possible homework and projects. However, after Thanksgiving comes a mass of consumer-centered holidays celebrated by a good percentage of America — Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and, of course, Cyber Monday.

Most Americans spend the third Thursday of November with family and friends. If anything, many students celebrate the week-long break from school responsibilities.

However, in the days following, many Americans wake up the next day and potentially harm others (or their bank account) to get an item for a discounted price.

Even though Black Friday does provide discounts to families that might need a financial break or to purchase items they might have wanted or needed for quite some time, Black Friday is taken advantage of by others who might use this holiday as an excuse to buy things they might not need.

Small Business Saturday, which follows Black Friday,

was first celebrated in 2010 and encourages shoppers to invest in their community by supporting area businesses.

And on Cyber Monday, which has origins dating back to 2005, is expected to bring in $7.8 billion in sales this year.

While some of the holiday weekend is spent from the comfort of home while online shopping or supporting small businesses, Black Friday often results in injury and even death.

Since 2006, according to a website called Black Friday Death Count, there have been 12 deaths and 117 injuries.

The question begs, is it worth it?

Americans are growing increasingly materialistic. With online shopping, quick shipping, websites that sell items at a much lower cost than found in stores and the unspoken acceptance of having more than one would ever use, it is easier than ever to fall into a shopping craze.

So on this Cyber Monday, leverage the deals you might score with your actual need for that item especially if you went out for both Black Friday and Small Business Saturday.

Seniors impact Cyclone Hockey

Cyclones crack ACHA rankings

BY STEPHEN.MCDANIEL @iowastatedaily.com

Over the course of its history, Iowa State has remained a big name when it comes to hockey in the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) — an alternative governing body for collegiate hockey to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

Cyclone Hockey has one ACHA Division I Championship, which it won in the 199192 season. The Cyclones have been the runner-up multiple times — most recently in the 2015-16 season.

Cyclone Hockey plays in the Central States Collegiate Hockey League (CSCHL), one division apart of the ACHA. The league has seen success, with a combined 10 ACHA Men’s Division I championships and 14 runner-ups since being founded in 1970.

Outside of tough conference play every year, Cyclone Hockey’s schedule finds itself playing even more top 25 teams, giving it one of the toughest strength of schedules in the ACHA. Cyclone Hockey has been able to keep its name in the discussion of top teams and the 2018-19 season is no different, where the Cyclones have cracked the top 5.

The 2018-19 roster has no shortage by far when it comes to senior experience and leadership. The Cyclones have seven seniors on the team, all of which were on the 2015-16 roster that saw the Cyclones falling short of a national championship.

“Any team is going to need good senior leadership to be successful,” said coach and general manager Jason Fairman.

Tony Uglem, Trevor Sabo, Adam Alcott and Aaron Azevedo make up the senior forwards. Nick Sandy and Kurt Halbach are the senior defensemen and Matt Goedeke is the senior at goaltender.

DAVID BOSCHWITZ/ IOWA STATE DAILY Cyclone Hockey’s Tony Uglem takes a shot on goal during the game against Alabama Hockey on Oct. 5 at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.

Coming to into a hockey program that has remained a big name in the ACHA and playing in a tough league like the CSCHL, there is a noticeable jump from playing in things like junior hockey to collegiate hockey.

“Junior’s a little bit of a different animal in that you don’t have school on the go,” Sandy said. “You wake up everyday and your only responsibility is toward the team, you have no other distractions going on. So it’s a little bit more focused like that in a routine. The style of play is definitely more physical.”

In 2015-16, the seven of them posted a total of 132 points throughout the season.

Uglem led the then-freshmen with 24 goals and 22 assists for a total of 46 points.

Azevedo was right behind him with 10 goals and 30 assists for a total of 40 points.

Uglem and Azevedo were in the top 3 on the team for points that season as freshmen.

Uglem led the Cyclones in points for the following two seasons, with Azevedo right behind him both seasons.

Sabo and Alcott also proved to be reliable on the offensive end and have progressively gotten better and better each year.

Goedeke found playing time in every season that he’s been at Iowa State. In the

2015-16 season, he had a save percentage of .917 in 25 games with a record of 14-4. The following year his save percentage was .901 in 13 games with a record of 5-6. Last year his save percentage was .912 in 17 games with a record of 7-5.

They adapted well in their freshmen year, even when they had to play other top teams in the nation.

“Playing tough teams that brings out either the best or worst in players,” Uglem said. “As an upperclassman, you try to bring out the best in everyone because against those tough teams every shift is a battle.”

Being able to go out on the ice and play their role on the team is only part of their job. Being the upperclassmen on the team, every senior knows that they have a responsibility to provide leadership for the others on the team.

Hockey assigns captain and alternate captain patches to leaders on the team that can be seen on their jerseys.

The captains jersey is marked with a “C” on the front and the alternate captains have an “A” marked on their jerseys. Sandy wears the captain patch while Uglem, Sabo and Alcott all have an alternate captains patch.

Uglem mentions that it’s not the patch on

the jersey that defines who the leaders are and that every senior on the team knows that being a leader is apart of their responsibility.

While there’s a dependence on the veterans of the team to play well, the freshmen on the team also have to produce.

“They need to lead by example,” Fairman said, “That includes off the ice as well. Being very welcoming to the new players, bringing them into the family so to speak, that’s usually part of the formula for any successful team.”

Several Cyclone freshmen have seen significant time on the ice in the first half of the 2018-19 season.

The freshmen for wards include Nick Rogers, C.J. Banser and Robbie McLean.

Fr e s h m e n d e f e n s e m e n i n c l u d e J o e y Marcuccilli and Jake Joyaux. There are also plenty of other freshmen on the team who haven’t seen much time on the ice so far.

Much like when the seniors first came to Cyclone Hockey, the current freshmen have seen a similar jump to collegiate hockey, especially playing in the CSCHL. “It’s been a lot more intense, a lot more fast paced and physical,” Marcuccilli said, “It’s been a little bit difficult of an adjustment, but I think help from a lot of the guys in the locker room it’s been a lot easier.”

Marcuccilli and Banser credit the seniors for being a help on the ice with motivating the team and helping bring them closer together, as well as big help off the ice with the life transition to college.

Banser cites Azevedo and Halbach as two of the seniors who have always been there for him.

The Cyclones are currently closing out on a successful first half of the 2018-19 season that’s seen them win 12 games and drop four games with a league record of 2-4.

Everyone on Cyclone Hockey is focused on coming back for a strong performance over the second half of its season.

“This program itself is super, super storied, and we’re proud to even look up at the banners that we’ve been able to put up — the CSCHL title,” Sandy said, “But we want the big one and for 50 years of a program to only have one national championship, we would love for that legacy, not only ourselves, to add a second one to that.”

Cyclone defense shines late against KSU

BY TREVOR HOLBROOK @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State fans filed out of Jack Trice Stadium while chanting “Cyclone! Power!.” The fans had just witnessed Iowa State knock off Kansas State, 42-38, snapping a 10-game losing streak against the Wildcats.

The win came in large part because of Iowa State’s strong defensive performance in the first and fourth quarter, but it wasn’t always pretty in between.

“We were all over the place [on defense], and I don’t know why it’s felt that way for the last two games,” said coach Matt Campbell. “Whether we’ve worn down — obviously, we’ve battled by some injury — but what was so fun to watch was when we needed it the most, the guys that really have led the way the entire time stepped up and made huge plays.”

In the fourth quarter, the Cyclones sacrificed a 4-yard passing touchdown from Skylar Thompson to Isaiah Zuber to cap off a 9-play, 52-yard drive.

From then on, Iowa State’s defense flashed, assisting the offense to a comeback win.

After the Zuber touchdown, redshirt senior linebacker Willie Harvey blitzed off the edge and drilled Thompson, allowing freshman linebacker Mike Rose to return the ball for a touchdown. The Cyclones cut Kansas State’s lead to 38-35.

“It was big,” said junior running back David Montgomery, who

tallied 149 yards rushing and three scores. “Mike Rose, again. The whole defense just being able to continue to turn when things weren’t looking up, so Mike comes up big.

“He prepares — it’s crazy we have so many freshmen that are playing right now that prepare so well.”

While Harvey executed his job of forcing a turnover, the veteran linebacker kept a simple mindset on the game-changing play.

“I just hit him as hard as I could,” Harvey said.

Down three points, the Cyclones needed to churn out another stop to grant the offense another opportunity.

The Wildcat offense stalled, going three and out with five yards on the drive. Iowa State answered with a 6-play, 69-yard drive that ended with one of Montgomery’s touchdowns.

As Kansas State has done so many times to Iowa State, it looked like a perfect time for a methodical touchdown drive, defeating the Cyclones late in the game.

The Iowa State defense ran onto the field, looking for one more stop. The Cyclones stood tall on a third-and-1 when junior lineman Ray Lima stuffed Alex Barnes.

Barnes bounced back on fourth-and-1, ripping off a 20-yard run and pushing the line of scrimmage to midfield.

Kansas State tacked on three yards, but the Wildcats faced a fourth-and-7 from Iowa State’s 47-yard line.

Bill Snyder couldn’t find any late-game magic, and Thompson tossed an incompletion to turn the ball over on downs. The Cyclones iced the win.

KATLYN CAMPBELL/ IOWA STATE DAILY Linebacker, Mike Rose (left), and defensive back, D’Andre Payne (right) tackle a member of the Iowa football team Sept. 8.

The defense finished the game in a clutch manner, but it also helped dig Iowa State’s deficit.

After a shutout first quarter, the usually-quiet Wildcat offense exploded for 21 points in the second quarter and 10 more in the third quarter.

“We knew we needed a spark,” Harvey said about being down 17 in the fourth quarter. “Many of the fans thought it was over probably, but we knew — we believed in ourselves, and I’m glad to be the one to spark the plug and finish it off the right way.”

Marlon Wayans to perform at Great Hall

BY TANA GAM-AD @iowastatedaily.com Well renowned actor, comedian, screenwriter and film producer Marlon Wayans of cult classics “White Chicks” and “Scary Movie” fame will be visiting the Great Hall in the Memorial Union Thursday night.

Wayans is also known for his non-comedic performances in “Requiem for a Dream” and “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.” His most recent work is as the titular title of the sitcom “Marlon,” loosely based on his own life.

Wayans will be making a stop in Ames as part of his tour, supporting his Netflix stand up comedy special “Woke-ish” released in February. The special draws on controversial material and contains an overarching narrative about him trying to become a more aware, “woke” person. His tour started only a few days earlier and will extend into the coming year.

Wayans originally hails from New York City and is the youngest of 10 siblings, all of whom are involved with show business in one way or another.

There are many instances in which the Wayans family have worked together on projects. A prominent example are the many movies in which Marlon and his older brother, Shawn Wayans, have co-starred in. Their collaborations include the “Scary Movie” franchise, “Little Man” and of course,

“White Chicks.”

Wayans explained that growing up in a family like his was a great learning experience and talked about how they build each other up.

“For me, it was great,” Wayans said.

“I love them, they love me, and we make each other better. They challenge me often and what’s funny is that we all have our different personalities and we all accept each other for who we are. I guess I’m just the crazy one though.”

With the celebration of Thanksgiving, Wayans said what he was grateful for this season, mentioning how he and his family have worked hard and come up in the world.

“I am always thankful for my family and I’m thankful that we’ve got money nowadays to actually have Thanksgiving because when we were younger, we didn’t,” Wayans said. “So, I’m very happy about that.”

His rise to the top started in 1988 with a role in the action parody film “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka” and continued with appearances on the comedy sketch series “In Living Color,” created by his older brother, Keenan Ivory Wayans. He soon began to star in more movies and series, primarily comedies like ones mentioned earlier. Others include “Marmaduke”, “The Heat”, “Naked” and “A Haunted House” and its sequel, “The Lady Killers”.

Wayans very recently wrapped the filming of his newest Netflix movie “Sextuplets” where he plays six different characters. “[The project] has been impossible,” Wayans said. “I don’t know how I did it. Doing six characters really was hard.

It was six hours I make up every day, for three to four days a week. But we got it done and I’m telling you right now that it’s going to be special. This one is going to be really, really funny.”

According to him, the movie is set to come out sometime in December 2019.

Wayans described his style of comedy as silly, funny, stupid and just fun.

“I like to make people laugh as hard as I could and as long as I can,” Wayans said. “Sometimes that’s good, but sometimes it’s not as good. So for me, I just want to make people laugh and have a good time but at the same time, I want to keep what my thoughts are and how I want to execute commentary.”

An experienced comedian, Wayans has been performing stand up for a long time.

However, this visit to Ames will be a first for him. He expressed his expectations for his upcoming show at Iowa State and said what he loves about performing in smaller cities.

“I think I have been in Iowa [once] before. I played a coffee shop in Iowa before, good people,” Wayans said. “I

like going places where people like to laugh, and I find that the smaller the place, the more they like to laugh.

I can’t wait to go have a good time.

I want to see people’s face laughing that’s all. I want to leave my mark on that stage and make sure everybody in there has a great time, has a load

of drinks, gets home safely and that they don’t do damage to each other.”

Tickets are $29 for the public and $15 for Iowa State students and are available online at Midwestix. com. The show, co-sponsored by WinterFest 2018, will start at 8 p.m. and doors will open at 7 p.m.

Rein in the creatives Talented writers still need creative help sometimes

BY ALEXANDER GRAY @iowastatedaily.com Even the greatest minds behind two of the world’s most-beloved franchises need a little help to find success.

The latest installment in J.K. Rowling’s “Wizarding World,” “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald,” was released to negative critical reactions. Even some of the most hardcore Harry Potter fans had a difficult time loving the new film, many confused by it’s left-field, ALEXANDER GRAY nonsensical cliffhanger ending.

Rowling is the sole credited writer behind “The Crimes of Grindelwald.” For an accomplished writer such as herself, that should be no issue, but the response to the movie shows that may have not been the best decision.

George Lucas, most well known as the creative visionary behind “Star Wars,” was given primary control as director of the prequel movie trilogy.

Where the original trilogy from the 70s and 80s received worldwide critical acclaim, the following prequel trilogy was lambasted for its poorly written scripts and shallow characters.

It could be argued that the first “Star Wars” was successful in spite of Lucas’ efforts. The first film, “A New Hope,” went by many names in earlier drafts, Lucas’ final draft named “The Adventures of Luke Starkiller as taken from the

Journal of the Whills,” a name that doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue.

Lucas’ wife at the time, Marcia Lucas, edited a large portion of the film into what fans know and love today. The sequels brought other writers and directors on board, George Lucas only dictating broader story beats.

George Lucas was given free-reign and surrounded by “yes-men” as director and writer for “The Phantom Menace,” no one daring to say ‘no’ to any of his ideas. The devout “Star Wars” fanbase heel-turned on Lucas after its release, their love turned to vitriol by Jar Jar Binks.

It’s not difficult to draw parallels between Lucas and Rowling with each of their prequel series. It’s likely production staff on “Fantastic Beasts” are too scared to be anything other than “yes-men” to Rowling.

Fortunately for Rowling, the original “Harry Potter” series has generated the author enough goodwill with her fans that one flop won’t tarnish her reputation. “The Crimes of Grindelwald” is only the second of five films in the “Fantastic Beasts” series, allowing her a chance for course correction. However, if Rowling chooses to continue writing alone, it also allows a chance for that goodwill to completely wither away.

mistakes.”

Iowa State fell behind even more in the second half. Kansas State took a 38-21 lead with 12:27 to play. On top of all the mistakes in the first half, freshman quarterback Brock Purdy had thrown two interceptions in the third quarter.

While Campbell said postgame one of the interceptions was a ball the receiver should have caught, it was still a trying time for Iowa State, given the score and time remaining.

Purdy finished 20-for-27 with 337 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Even with his two turnovers, his teammates and coaches still had faith.

“That wasn’t that big to me because I knew [Purdy] would respond the way he responded,” said Montgomery, who finished with 149 rushing yards and three touchdowns. “That kid’s crazy. But you need a little crazy to do what he does.”

Purdy and Montgomery both came up big in the fourth quarter.

Purdy calmed the offense down, taking Iowa State on a

At Tuesday’s meeting, the council will decide if authorizing eminent domain is the right choice, or if completion of the project can be pursued without forcibly appropriating private property.

Ames has multiple projects in the works to control the quality and quantity of excess water flows from storms, rivers and streams. The past spring and summer seasons showcased how flood-prone the city can be. The EIUPE is just one of these efforts and focuses on the area between Interstate 35 and Potter Avenue in east Ames.

“The use of eminent domain is a power that the city only uses as a last resort to ensure that its ability

six-play, 77-yard touchdown drive to bring the Cyclones within 10 points. After a fumble was recovered by Iowa State and taken in for a touchdown to bring the deficit to three, the Cyclones’ offense knew it had one last chance to win the game.

“David took over the game,” Butler said. “David’s the best player in the country to me, and I tell him that every day. He proved it today.”

Montgomery had seven carries for 74 yards in the second half, including two touchdowns. His final touchdown run was from 18 yards out to give Iowa State its first lead since the score was 14-7 in the second quarter.

On Kansas State’s final chance, the defense held strong and forced a turnover-on-downs. Two more Montgomery rushes for 20 yards sealed the game.

As the clock winded down, Campbell sent in redshirt senior Kyle Kempt to take the final knee. The sideline burst into cheers, and nobody looked happier than Purdy as he walked off the field to let his mentor end the game.

The council will also seek a resolution to river flood risks along Duff Avenue. They hope to reach a final solution which will offer permanent flooding easement in the areas between 1016 S. Duff Ave and 1008 S. Duff Ave. The council will also discuss whether or not $17,003 should be refunded to Hunziker Property Management in the aftermath of a project the City of Ames contracted them for earlier this year.

The City contracted Hunziker and Walmart Real Estate Business Trust for the construction of a median traffic stop along South Duff Avenue.

After certain costs were mitigated and other expenses were raised, Hunziker requested an amount of money be refunded.

However, a net savings of more than $81,000 was recorded on the project.

“Staff is surprised that Hunziker is taking their position regarding the construction management fee, since the extra cost here resulted in overall savings to the partners and previous discussions emphasized the parties sharing equally in the net costs of the project,” according to council documents.

For their refund, Hunziker is focusing on an expense fee which increased from $30,000 to $81,010 during construction. Apparently, that fee was an estimate, but the City did not make that clear in negotiations.

on a good show for them, and again, it’s a testament to how awesome the students are.”

Band members are known for having an unbeatable amount of energy, despite when they woke up, or the performance that day.

“The atmosphere is always so positive,” said Alyssa Lantz, Iowa State Marching Band senior. “The band is always excited and pumped to start pre-game or do a high school exhibition. We all do this because we love the activity, so we are all excited for any performance even if if we had a call time of 6 a.m.”

As with any organization or club at a university, the bonds you create within make it all the more worthwhile. And with over 300 members in the marching band, it’s quite easy to make new friends.

“It’s really easy to make friends in the marching band, first of all everyone is really friendly, and second of all we’re around each other so much that you might as well talk to people and meet them, so altogether it is a great way to meet people and make friends,” said freshman Carter Klanderud.

Just because football season is almost over, that doesn’t mean the band is. The pep band performs at basketball games, wrestling meets and other events where they’re requested.

Pep band differs from marching band because they’re in one spot throughout the event, rather than having a drill formation to follow on a field.

“It’s interesting because some of our students are really passionate about football, some are passionate about basketball, and some are really passionate about band,” Carichner said. “And you get a mix of all of that in all of those groups.”

The pep band typically performs faster music, due to the fact that they’re not moving around on their feet and the music doesn’t need to be memorized by the members.

“We have a ton of game day traditions in the band that make the whole experience unlike game day from any other perspective,” Robinson said.

Marching band enhances Cyclone spirit on campus and brings energy to wherever they’re performing, whether it be at Jack Trice, Hilton, a high school exhibition or at a parade or community event.

“They have gotten me through the ups and downs of college and we have all suffered together through the cold and marching on the band practice swamp,” Lantz said. “With all the time we spend together, they really are my second family that I don’t know what I will do without after I graduate.”
