BACK UNDER THE LIGHTS Iowa State to take on No. 12 Oklahoma in Thursday’s primetime matchup on ESPN
GAME INFO No. 12 Oklahoma (6-2, 5-0 Big 12) at Iowa State (1-7, 0-5 Big 12) Jack Trice Stadium | 6:30 p.m. Watch: ESPN
By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com On Nov. 19, 2011, a weekday night, Iowa State hosted then-No. 2 Oklahoma State in an ESPN primetime game. The Cyclones were down 17 points, and it seemed that the Cowboys were going to cruise to an easy win, keeping their chance for a spot in the BCS Championship Game a very real possibility. It wasn’t that simple. Iowa State, which was a 27-point underdog that night, rallied back to force the game into double overtime. Then, running back Jeff Woody found his way into the end zone on a 4-yard run, giving the Cyclones the major upset victory. To this day, that game remains a landmark win for the Iowa State football program, one most fans will not forget anytime soon. And on Thursday, the Cyclones will get a familiar opportunity. Iowa State (1-7, 0-5 Big 12) will host No. 12 Oklahoma (6-2, 5-0 Big 12) at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, and will attempt to upset the Sooners in similar fashion.

Student Government meets Sept. 6 in the Memorial Union. The American Sign Language Club and the Mental Health Awareness Task Force gave presentations at Wednesday’s meeting.
StuGov hears from mental health task force By Linda.Brown @iowastatedaily.com Student Government heard presentations from the American Sign Language Club and the Mental Health Awareness Task Force during its weekly meeting Wednesday evening. Following the opening presentations, the Student Government Mental Health Task Force discussed its recent efforts. The purpose of the task force is to gauge the levels of mental health on campus and introduce proposals for changes involving mental health on campus. The first proposal was to get more training applied to the various student leaders across campus. The task force said that because most student leaders don’t get any training in regard to mental health, it proposed having a standardized test to ensure student leaders are trained and prepared for any situation. The task force said it believes all of the help found in that one building would help lower stress for the students in need. After the first recommendation, the second point of the task force was to create an online resource for students to use whenever needed. Next, a concept for a new building specifically for mental health services available for students was introduced. “Stress doesn’t just go away at a certain time of the day,” the task force said. The final recommendation included having community advisers be more regularly trained, which
the task force believes would be more helpful toward the process. “We are going to look at what programs or initiatives we need to launch in order to see the stigma for mental health to change,” Cole Staudt, Student Government president, said when asked what was next in the effort. The American Sign Language Club also gave a presentation, in which it began by signing to the Senate instead of speaking out loud. When asked about the experience, Senate members described feeling confused and left out. “This is how we as deaf people feel every day,” said Scott Johnson, a member of the American Sign Language Club. As they continued their presentation, the members discussed one of the problems the deaf community at Iowa State faces in their day-to-day lives. “For example, in a classroom if a teacher is just lecturing normally, they may or may not be interacted with,” Johnson said. When Speaker Danielle Nygard inquired what could be told about the deaf culture to understand it more, the members responded, saying it starts with being approached. “In general, if I could pick one thing, if you approach a deaf person — don’t be afraid. Deaf culture has a lot of resources for us to understand each other,” Johnson said. A moment of silence also took place during the Senate meeting for the fallen officers involved in the Des Moines shooting on Wednesday morning.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton have both been accused by voters for not being as transparent as they should be during this presidential race.
Analysis: Trump, Clinton show lack of transparency By Emily.Barske @iowastatedaily.com Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com and Ali Melgard, contributor to the Daily A presidential candidate’s character matters, said Kelly Winfrey, assistant professor in the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication as well as an advocate for women in politics. The person who gets elected matters, and the election should be discussed because voters want someone they can trust to handle themselves appropriately with foreign leaders who’s going to best represent the public, she said. “We have two very unliked people, and that’s never happened before, and because they are so unliked, the best strategic way to attack each other is on their character,” Winfrey said. One element of character that’s been examined closely this election is each candidate’s openness with the public. Here’s a look at each candidate’s transparency record during their campaigns.
Clinton’s transparency Throughout the campaign, Clinton has been called into question by the federal government and voters for her use of a private server for emails about classified information. The investigation into her emails began shortly after she declared her run for presidency and has continued as late as this week. Here’s a timeline of events important to know about Clinton’s emails: January 2009 - Clinton becomes Secretary of State and creates an email address based out of a private server. Sept. 11, 2011 - A U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, is attacked, leaving four Americans dead. February 2013 - Clinton leaves the office. June 2013 - State Department staff start reviewing the Benghazi attacks. They find a connection between her private email and government accounts of her staff. May 2014 - A committee is formed to investigate Clinton’s involvement in the Benghazi attack and begins contacting Clinton’s representatives to obtain

the emails. December 2014 - Clinton provides more than 33,000 emails. April 2015 - Clinton announces she is running for president. July 2015 - The FBI opens an investigation after finding classified information in Clinton’s emails. May 2016 - The State Department’s inspector general says Clinton broke department policies by not giving them her emails before her time as Secretary of State was over. July 2016 - The Justice Department dismisses the case. October 2016 - The FBI discovers new emails related to the previously closed investigation. “I’ve said repeatedly, I’ve made a mistake, I’m not making any excuses,” Clinton said at a rally in late October. “But I will tell you this, if [the FBI wants] to look at some more emails of one of my staffers, by all means go ahead, look at them. I know they will reach the same conclusion they reached when they looked at my emails last year.” Ellen Williams, senior in public
