Students provide feedback

“For example, if you’re walking around, instead of seeing maybe a lot of traditional monitors and towers on people’s desktops, you’ll see the thin client type devices that are very effective, cheaper to use,” said President Steven Leath.

Along with these computers, there are likely to be new phones and purchasing technology available in offices and campus stores.

These changes are intended to improve campus while reducing cost.

Team members from the Higher Learning Commission met with students during an open interview session Tuesday to talk about any problems or issues they had with the university as part of Iowa State’s accreditation process.

Every 10 years, a team made of faculty and administrators from peer institutions across the country visits Iowa State to ensure the university is adhering to the standards put forth in the university’s mission statement.

“If you say you do that, do you really do it?” said Ralph Katerberg, head of the management department at the University of Cincinnati and member of the accreditation team.

During the accreditation process, the university puts together a report that covers everything the university offers to its students and faculty. It is the job of the accrediting team to judge whether the institution is meeting the standards that it has set for itself.

While normal departmental level accreditations usually are detail-oriented and involve ground-level information, the process at the institutional level has a much wider scope.

“We’re the 30,000-foot view,” said Lynne Olson, professor emeritus of veterinary biosciences at Ohio State University.

Just like ISU writing classes, the university had a word limit for its report to the commission. Using 35,000 words, the university had to prove to the commission that it did meet the five criteria on which it would be judged.

These five criteria are: the institution’s mission is clear and articulated publicly; the institution acts with integrity; the institution provides high-quality education; the institution demonstrates responsibility for the quality of its educational programs; and the institution’s resources, structures and processes are sufficient to fulfill its mission.

Katerberg said the report the university puts together is a way for the institution to prove that it can do what it promises.

“It’s a way to assure that the resources are there to carry out the mission,” Katerberg said. “Do you have the resources to do what you do?”

Even though the accreditation committee is mostly concerned with the wide view, it still met with students to listen to their input and concerns.

Three students met with Katerberg and Olson on Tuesday to voice their concerns about how some minority students and

Voting booths are set up in Maple Hall for the 2015 Ames City Council election Tuesday afternoon. Tim Gartin won unopposed for Ward 2, Chris Nelson won Ward 4 and Bronwyn Beatty-Hansen won the at-large seat. Ward 4 consists of the ISU campus and Campustown, but there was low voter turnout among ISU students at the polls.

A

mes City Council incumbents Chris Nelson and Tim Gartin and newcomer Bronwyn Beatty-Hansen won local elections Tuesday night.

Incumbent Chris Nelson won

the seat to represent Ward 4, the ward that contains most of Iowa State’s campus. Nelson received 555 votes; Nelson’s opponent Dan DeGeest received 381 votes.

Nelson, vice president of Nelson Electric Company, ran for re-election after a two-year term.

In an interview with the Daily on Oct. 1, Nelson said the two-year term was not long enough to accomplish everything he wanted for Ames.

Nelson said throughout his campaign and during a studentled forum Oct. 24 that he prides himself on his willingness to listen

to everyone involved in an issue and to make fair, balanced decisions.

Nelson waited for the results of the election with his supporters at Brick City Grill in Ames. Nelson said the news of his re-election was a relief. “[The campaign] was a lot of hard work,” Nelson said.

He said he hopes his re-election is a reflection of his interest in listening to all sides of an issue in the community.

Nelson also praised his opponent’s campaign and hard work.

ISU efficiency review wraps up University looks for ways to improve campus, technology

By Ellie.Conrad @iowastatedaily.com The Transparent, Inclusive Efficiency Review, known as TIER, presented its final business cases in October, but full implementation is still years away.

“Implementation on that will be postponed until we get a new

enterprising resource planning system,” said Miles Lackey, associate vice president and chief of staff to the president.

Enterprising resource planning systems are types of business-management software used to store and decipher data about aspects of a business, such as payroll, service delivery and other business resources all to promote efficiency. Iowa State is currently in the process of updating its own but that may take a couple of years to complete, Lackey said.

The efficiency review has been in progress since early 2014, and it is nearing the final stages

of approval and implementation.

The Board of Regents will determine whether it agrees with the findings in the latest academic business cases and from there decide the next step.

As far as implementation on campus, what students and faculty will see change isn’t entirely certain yet. While some steps have begun, many still have to go through the annual budget process, Lackey said. These will start once the academic business cases have been evaluated.

For now, students can expect to see changes in campus technology.

Campustown lacks accessibility Businesses fail to accommodate disabled citizens

Judging by the amount of stairs leading off sidewalks and into businesses, Welch Avenue might not be welcoming to everyone.

Businesses are required to follow Title III of the American with Disabilities Act of 1990.

Title III reads that businesses must accommodate to the needs of the disabled within the constraints of the business’s finances.

However, there is limited handicap accessibility in the Campustown district.

“It requires accessibility be improved without taking out excessive expenses that could harm the business,” said Tricia Crain, executive director of the Arc of Story County, a non-profit that helps people with disabilities.

Minimum requirements for handicap accessibility include having at least 60 percent of a business’ entrances grade level and accessible, 60-by-60-inch handicap accessible restroom stalls, 36-inch counter heights, the ability to have five pounds of pressure exerted to open doors and a 1-inch rise for every 12-inch run on ramps.

On a typical walk through Campustown, businesses can be found with door thresholds

higher than three-quarters of an inch and thinner than 32 inches wide.

Those who are wheelchairridden are often greeted with a flight of stairs, such as in the case of the Arc of Story County’s offices.

“We’re the advocacy group with people with disabilities, and I can’t even have them in my office,” Crain said.

Businesses are not always aware of their limited accessibility until a complaint is filed, which can be done in a variety of different ways.

In Ames, complaints can be filed through the Ames Human Rights commission, and those complaints are then investigated by volunteers.

Senate will discuss changes to governing bylaws

By Zach.Clemens @iowastatedaily.com Student Government will vote to amend the bylaws that govern elections on campus Wednesday.

Student Government plans to change rules to make them work more efficiently, and these proposed changes will be to make the elections in the spring semester to run more smoothly.

The election commission is proposing a change in the number of members.

The change will be from

the current number of 10 members to no less than eight but no more than 12.

If the changes are approved, the election commissioner would now be responsible for all investigations into violations of election laws as well as gathering evidence and presenting a case.

The vice election commissioner previously had that responsibility, but that position, if the changes are approved, would now have the duty of all marketing and promotion of the campus elections.

This would go beyond

just working with the public relations committee and would include compiling budgets for all expenses as well.

Student Government will also read a resolution to make the Campustown constituency into an offcampus sub-constituency.

This would allow a student interested in Student Government, and who lives in Campustown, to still serve. But the student would be part of the United Residents of Off-Campus when there is no vacancies with Campustown representatives.

Gas leak is false alarm

By Shannon.McCarty @iowastatedaily.com Two students smelled natural gas in Martin and Helser halls late Monday night, but it turned turned out to be a false alarm.

“There was never any cause found,” said Brittney Rutherford, marketing coordinator for Campus Dining Services. “There wasn’t a gas leak.”

Alliant Energy, ISU Campus Police, the Ames Fire Department and the Department of Residence’s mechanical and facility

staff all helped observe the building.

Students were evacuated and able to go to the Union Drive Community Center.

Alliant Energy went through the buildings with gas meters.

Rutherford said every possible area that would have a natural gas leak was tested by Alliant and determined to be safe.

“We don’t know what the smell was,” Rutherford said.

She said both dorm halls were back open in about a half hour.

“Internally, we have quite a few people on call for any situation that might happen across our residences,” Rutherford said.

Rutherford said she would rather have someone call in and have it be nothing than to ignore something and risk safety.

“We’re here to keep people safe,” Rutherford said.

If you think you smell gas, it is best to not touch anything that could cause a spark, according to Alliant Energy’s website. Leave the building and call your energy company.

Officer helps LGBT

By Ellen.Bombela @iowastatedaily.com

Charlie Coffey/Iowa State Daily

A man offers to answer questions about the Bible to pedestrians on campus at the free-speech zone south of Parks Library on Oct. 9. The free-speech zone hosts an assortment of public speakers and campaigners nearly every day, but the university officially classifies these zones as public forum areas since the areas do not require people to pre-register or meet certain criteria.

CLASHING VIEWS ISU, faculty differ on areas that allow freedom of expression for all

By Ellie.Conrad @iowastatedaily.com For some students, free speech on campus is full of more questions and myths than facts.

“If it’s causing big problems, can they be taken out?” said Laura Pesquera, freshman in biology.

Most students have heard of free-speech zones and the problems that have arisen this year in regards to those at Iowa State, specifically with religious preachers outside Parks

Library.

The facts and regulations surrounding free speech though often aren’t clear.

Part of this is because of terminology; not everyone agrees on what exactly a free-speech zone is.

According to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, free-speech zones have three basic characteristics: pre-registration, limited use and limited space.

“At Iowa State University, our policies do not create a free-speech zone,” said Keith Bystrom, associate counsel for the university.

Instead, Bystrom said the university has public forum areas, which are considered far less restrictive than free-speech zones.

According to Iowa State’s policy on facility and grounds use, public forum areas may be used on a first-come, first-serve basis as long as the area is not already reserved and the activity meets certain criteria.

This falls under what is commonly referred to as a time, place and manner restriction, which is legal in the United States.

These restrictions include a limit of no more than 50 participants, all displays will be attended at all times and there cannot be any electronic or amplification equipment used beside handheld megaphones.

Others on campus believe these restrictions are too much.

“I’ve always called them censorship zones,”

said Michael Bugeja, director of the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication.

Bugeja said that as a journalist he has concerns regarding the restrictions on campus.

“Journalists embrace free speech because we take our roles very seriously,” he said. “Our roles are to foster debate to make intelligent choices in the voting booth.”

He believes the university’s restrictions can limit public expression and discussion.

This leads to an uninformed or misinformed public, Bugeja said, which then affects the community through elections.

Bystrom argued otherwise, saying that the existing policy serves to prevent disruption of the learning

environment rather than prohibit free speech.

“Our campus is pretty open,” Bystrom said.

While there are some regulations, Bystrom said they exist not to prohibit free speech but to ensure a successful outcome for events and students.

Despite the disagreement among faculty and staff, many students appreciate the public area forums.

Chaise Zahrt, freshman in world languages and cultures, said she liked watching the presenters as they debate and argue among one other, and others appreciated the forums as a source of information.

“I think it’s nice to have it there, to have a selected place where everybody can go and get informed,” Pesquera said.

Find craft beer in Ames

By Paige.Korver @iowastatedaily.com After celebrating its second award from The Des Moines Register as one of the “Top 6 Quirkiest Places to get a Craft Beer in Central Iowa,” Alluvial Brewing may become the newest hot spot in Ames for craft beer and taking in the Iowa scenery.

The brewery stands apart from the rest because of its unique setting — it is located right outside of town in Franklin Township in a building that looks like an old farmhouse situated on 80 acres of organic farmland.

Elliot Thompson,

The Des Moines Register recently named the Alluvial Brewing company as a quirky place to get craft beer. The brewery is located just north of Ames.

owner of Alluvial Brewing, said he used reclaimed wood from barns to give the house a rustic look. He

also said he’s working on restoring the wetland on the property, as well.

The interior is also

unique.

“I wanted to have the atmosphere feel more like a coffee shop,” Thompson said. “We have bar seating for seven, and the rest of the seating is communal.”

Thompson’s goal was to make the area “an interactive area to get and enjoy beer.”

A day in the life of Thompson involves a lot of book work. A lot of record keeping and beer reporting is required. Thompson also works in the tap room during brewery hours.

As well as the atmosphere, Alluvial Brewing has as many as 10 craft beers on tap at a time.

Thompson said he had 28 different brews on tap in

the span of seven months, which is quite the feat since it usually takes two to three weeks for a brew to ferment before it is ready for consumption.

“I would be interested in going,” said Adam Gerling, senior in agricultural systems technology. “I’ve never been to a place like that before. It sounds like a cool place to go with friends and have a good time.”

For advice on beginning home brewing, Thompson said creativity is key.

“Start off having fun, experimenting and enjoying brewing,” Thompson said. “It’s a fun hobby to be involved in.”

It can be easy for various groups around campus to at times feel isolated or unsafe on a campus full of people who aren’t similar to them.

Thanks to Lt. Joshua Hale of the ISU Police Department, people who are part of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender community have someone from the police department who will be there for them if they ever need somebody.

Hale, who has worked for ISU Police since 2003, has been the liaison for LGBTSS for about three years.

“Really what we are trying to do is create positive relationships,” Hale said.

“I’m someone that they can come and talk to if they aren’t comfortable talking to any other officer. Also we are trying to encourage the reporting of crimes and personal safety training and awareness.”

Most liaisons on campus for the police department are for residence halls and on-campus apartments.

But Hale had a special interest in the LGBT community and decided to reach out to the group.

“I brought it up to them,” Hale said. “It really wasn’t something they had thought about. It was kind of a win-win; I got the experience of working with different students that I kind of identify with, and they’re getting the benefit of the outreach that I am providing. The feedback that I’ve gotten so far is that it’s positive.”

Brad Freihoefer, LGBTSS director, said the organization was happy with Hale’s decision to be the liaison.

“We thought that for the LGBT community it might actually be a helpful tool and a pretty awesome opportunity with Hale’s interests to help make a difference on campus,” Freihoefer said.

Freihoefer said Hale is there for students who might have any questions or concerns about safety or law enforcement processes on campus or if students need anybody to talk to or ask questions about sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.

“I think we are very fortunate here at Iowa State University to have Lt. Hale as someone who is so dedicated to making sure that students know the different services and resources that are available to them, to have someone as kind and supportive as him and give students someone to talk to and also to teach students a little bit about safety in general,” Freihoefer said.

Speaker merges bodies, electronics Professor uses 3-D printing to fabricate ear

By Felipe.Cabrera @iowastatedaily.com Imagine being able get an organic ear implant with hearing better than the average human or an eye with lenses that can zoom, and possibly take pictures. All this can be possible with 3-D printing technology.

A seminar titled “3-D printed Bionic Nanomaterials” took place Tuesday in Howe Hall with speaker Michael C. McAlpine.

McAlpine is the Ben-

jamin Mayhugh Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota.

McAlpine went over his research using a custombuilt 3-D printer to create cells, tissues, 3-D electronics, chemical control and biomedical devices.

“Usually when we talk about bionics, we’re talking about making robots more like humans,” McAlpine said. “We’re trying to focus on something a little bit different. We’re trying to make humans more like robots.”

McAlpine said he and his team focused on using printers to seamlessly integrate electronic and mechanical devices with the body by installing these devices onto the body in a 2-D

fashion.

“It’s so intrusive to have part of your skull removed and have this [device] mounted in the place your skull was to have something interwoven in your ear,” McAlpine said.

McAlpine was able to print a bionic ear where the electronics grew in with the organ. This was achieved by using cells and a hydrogel, which is a gel with a water component made from a polymer.

The bionic ear can do more than regenerate a lost sense. McAlpine said this opens the doors to more applications, and potentially creating a human-machine interface.

So imagine having a bionic sixth sense that can

pick up electronic stimulus.

You could plug in a phone directly to your ear and communicate with your smartphone directly through your brain.

McAlpine and his team also used 3-D printing for nerve regeneration to restore motor function or feeling in the body.

Peripheral nerve injuries impact 200,000 people annually, McAlpine said, and costs large sums of money in healthcare. A new nerve to bridge the gap can be created with the help of a 3-D scanner to scan a similar nerve and feed data to a printer to create the replacement.

“The idea of creating new bionic body parts with advanced capabilities is an

Complaints can also be filed through the state.

The Iowa Civil Rights Act, which was enacted 50 years ago, deals with housing, employment, education, credit and public accommodation issues for people with disabilities.

It uses investigation and settlement phases, following the same complaint process of local govern-

child development centers, where students provide care for children ranging from newborns to 5-yearolds.

Contracting with U.S. military installations in Europe, Asia and the United States, Camp Adventure can send students to places such as China, Germany, Italy and Japan.

“With the program, it really taught me a lot, especially with leadership skills, communication skills, and [it] gave me the opportunity to work with kids all around the world,” said Sara Claman, ISU Camp Adventure trainer.

Claman participated in the program for five summers before eventually becoming a trainer.

The program, which recommends that students have experience working with children, offers benefits unlike most abroad programs.

The benefits that Camp Adventure provides include paid airfare and housing, 12 transferable UNI credit hours and a living stipend of approximately $175 a week to cover summer expenses such as food.

The entire trip costs about $1,200, Claman said.

The trip can be offered at this price because it is run by Northern Iowa.

The program then

contracts with military installations.

“Most of the bases do already have workers in place, we’re just there to either assist or replace their staff because a lot of those installations are shortstaffed due to the highturnover because people are always moving with the military,” Claman said.

Tiffany Allen, senior in child, adult and family services and president of the ISU chapter of Camp Adventure Youth Services, became involved with the program because she knew she wanted to go abroad and enjoyed working with children.

She hoped her involvement with the program would help her get out of her comfort zone.

Allen has participated in two summer programs in Japan, one in Yokosuka another in Okinawa, with two winter break programs in Bamberg, Germany, and Vicenza, Italy.

The summer programs typically last about 10 weeks.

“My favorite experience thus far is when I spent 10 weeks in Okinawa, Japan, at the Air Force Base teaching swimming lessons,” Allen said.

Completely different from her first experience, where she was on a staff of 12, her experience in

Okinawa only consisted of a staff of three.

“It was a completely different experience being with such a small number of co-workers, and we all taught our own level of swim lessons,” Allen said.

“My Camp Adventure staff got along really well, and it was great to form very close relationships with the children and their parents, who I still keep in touch with today.”

Allen also said she loved experiencing Japanese culture while living on the island, where she was even able to get open water scuba certified.

“I think having a program like this is so important because it really challenges you as a person,” Allen said. “Camp Adventure is not for the weak. You are working with children who could be going through many different things at home — a parent could be deployed, or they could have just moved for the third time in their life.”

Students who are hoping to apply for the program must have spent 200 to 400 hours working with children in groups.

Students must also have a minimum 2.5 GPA. The program will also have an information session at 6 p.m. Nov. 18 in room 3219 of the Memorial Union.

Although this act is considered state-wide, it is up to local jurisdictions to adopt the regulations.

The Americans with Disabilities Act is the allencompassing, national act that dictates requirements for businesses in regards to helping people with disabilities.

Filing a complaint can be done online, via mail or by fax.

The act provides protections for people with disabilities concerning: mobility, sight, speech, cognitive ability, learning ability, mental faculties, hearing, seizures, AIDS or diabetes.

Arvid E. Osterberg, university professor of architecture and co-author of the book “Access for Everyone: A Guide to Accessibility With References to ADASAD,” provides recom-

mendations that go beyond the requirements of the act with what he describes as “inclusive design.”

Inclusive design is an architectural concept that includes thinking about everybody with any sort of disability, whether it be hearing, cognitive, mobility or others. “[The goal is to] build environments that are easier for everybody,” Osterberg said.

After these adjustments are made, people without a disability rarely notice the change. Some changes Osterberg advises include entrances without stairs, restrooms without entrance doors and an automatic door with a light on the door opener.

“It takes a lot of thought to determine if it’s worth fixing, but if you wait, it can be devastating,” Osterberg said. “Especially

when it comes to safety, a lot of it is avoidable.”

Osterberg said he still faces ongoing issues with existing community businesses, saying the problem stems partly through management overcrowding businesses for marketing purposes.

He hopes that in 10 years the conversation about accessibility will not be a part of people’s dialogue, but he doesn’t see that happening soon.

Tom Oftedal, former assistant university architect with Facilities Planning and Management, summed up the architectural side of accessibility.

“We have to think beyond the code,” Oftedal said. “You can think about the nuts and bolts, but we have to be smarter than that. We have to get this done, and we have to get it right the first time.”

The United States is the only country in the world with regular mass shootings, but our politicians refuse to do anything about gun control. Legislation to improve background checks is a logical measure that would protect many people, and it is something that has proven successful when implemented on a state-wide level.

US gun policies need update Background checks will help ensure the safety of US citizens

By Michael.Heckle @iowastatedaily.com

T

he tragic shooting in Roseburg, Ore., is the 265th of its kind in the last year alone. No other country has this problem and that is a terrifying reality. President Barack Obama said so himself.

No matter what one’s political stance is, it is hard to disagree that America has a problem. But what do we do to solve it? After years of watching innocent people die, our government is still gridlocked, and there is fault on both sides. What is interesting is the opposition to reasonable legislation that keeps guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them and has little effect on an average person’s second amendment rights.

The term “gun control” is a dirty word in right-wing politics, yet control over who can obtain guns may be the only real solution. Maybe it’s time for those on both sides to redefine the issue. However, Second Amendment rights are important.

More than one-third of Americans own a firearm, with ownership averages varying from state to state.

Pew Research estimates there are 310 million guns in the United States.

For some, there is a real concern about self-defense and conservation of rights.

The most extreme left view seems to be that of a universal gun ban. However, with 310 million guns in the U.S. and a constitutional right

that defends individual gun ownership, that doesn’t seem to be anywhere near possible. Not to mention the arguments made toward the ineffectiveness of a gun ban, commonly compared to the war on drugs.

Furthermore, logic seems to portray that law-abiding gun owners, for the most part, would be left unarmed while criminals would be in possession of the remaining weapons. Though it’s hard to find solid evidence to back this claim, it is a real concern for many Americans.

Yet both gun owners and nongun owners should be able to recognize that there are certain people in this world who should not have access to firearms — period. In the same vein, Republicans tend to blame mass shootings and other forms of gun violence on our failing mental health system, even going so far as to revive a Mental Health Bill that would make seeking treatment easier. However, this appears to be disingenuous.

It seems that Republicans turn the table toward mental health so they don’t have to talk about real gun legislation. Though mental health is absolutely crucial to the stability of the country, Republicans aren’t addressing the issue of non-mental health related violence, which makes up the majority of gun violence in the country.

The most applicable solution seems to be the use of background checks. Though some proponents of the right argue against the effectiveness of background checks, their arguments seem to be unfounded.

Gun deaths dropped by over 40 percent in Connecticut when a 1994 law requiring a background check and gun safety courses was ratified. More than 2.4 million felons and mentally ill individuals have been blocked from receiving a firearm from 1994-2012

nationally. On the other side of the spectrum, when Missouri repealed its permit-to-purchase hand gun law in 2007, murder rates increased by 14 percent and firearm-related homicides increased by 25 percent.

No such increase was found in neighboring states.

Given the rate of gun violence in the U.S., this obviously isn’t enough.

Both Dylann Roof and John Russell Houser would have been unable to purchase a fire arm if the background check system we currently have would have worked as intended.

Two years ago, Republicans defeated a bill that would have expanded background checks to gun shows and internet sales, which would have been the first successful piece of legislation on gun ownership in two decades. It is hard to fathom why anyone would oppose the advancement of polices that are proven to reduce violence.

But Republicans seem to be changing their tune, at least slightly.

In August 2015, Republican Sen. John Cornyn, backed by the National Rifle Association, proposed a bill that would reward states for sending information about mentally ill residents to the federal background check system.

This is a step in the right direction, but it’s not enough.

Instead of focusing on the minority of gun violence in America — those caused by mental illness — our leaders need to implement new laws to better regulate private sales, gun shows and internet transfers.

Though background checks may not be the only piece of legislation needed, because an honest conversation about what kinds of firearms individuals should own needs to happen, it is completely ridiculous that anyone can oppose legislation that has been proven effective in reducing violence.

Oklahoma driver deserves life in prison

By Ben.Moran @iowastatedaily.com With Iowa State’s Homecoming this past week, we saw all different types of events and activities around campus. Games on Central Campus and fireworks are just a few of the activities the ISU Alumni Association planned for students to enjoy, and they went off without a hitch.

But as we saw at Oklahoma State University, it could have gone much worse.

On Oct. 24, Adacia Chambers plowed through a crowd of spectators during OSU’s homecoming parade. Four were killed and more than 40 others were injured. Chambers, 25, is suspected of driving under the influence, but as of now the investigation is being treated as a homicide.

If convicted, she could face up to life in prison. Chambers’ next hearing is set for Nov. 13.

So now the question is what should be done with Chambers?

Finding her innocent should be out of the question in any scenario. That being said, many wonder if life in prison is justified. In my opinion, it is.

To start, let’s assume Chambers was driving under the influ-

ence.

Thirty people die in motor vehicle crashes every day due to an alcohol-impaired driver, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

If alcohol was in fact involved, Chambers added to this deadly statistic.

Chamber’s driving record hadn’t had a DUI prior to this event, and first-time offenses are treated with five days to a year in jail and $1,000 in fines, according to Oklahoma’s state law.

Unfortunately for Chambers, four died due to her actions and the law for second-degree murder is no less than a 10-year sentence and up to life in prison.

If alcohol wasn’t involved, the punishment should be different.

Mental illness is another potential reason why Chambers would drive through a crowd of people, and Chambers is being required by law to have a psychological evaluation.

Jesse Gaylord, Chamber’s boyfriend, told The Oklahoman that she has attempted to “slash her wrists” twice. Chambers does have a history of suicide attempts, which brings up the discussion of Chambers being mentally unstable.

Nathan Oglesby, a witness of the tragedy, spoke with Stillwater Police regarding the motivation behind Chamber’s actions, as reported by KJRH in Tulsa. Oglesby stated that Chambers said she was “trying to kill herself.”

On top of this account, Gaylord reported that Chambers suffers from insomnia and hadn’t slept for three days prior to the incident.

Friends and family have come to Chamber’s side to defend her. Her father, Floyd Chambers, stated, “I just want people to know that Adacia is a kind, loving, caring person, and she wouldn’t have done this purposely. I just don’t believe that in my heart,” according to CNN. So there are a number of reasons as to why Chambers would have driven into a crowd of people, but the bottom line is that Adacia Chambers killed four people and injured a dozen more.

No matter whether she was intoxicated or mentally unstable, Chambers took at least four lives. Those families will never be able to see their loved ones again. If you were in their shoes, what would you want for Adacia Chambers?

I know people make mis-

takes, but every action we make affects those around us for the rest of their lives, whether that be in a minor or major way.

If Chambers was under the influence, then her choice to drink and drive resulted in the tragic events that took place at OSU’s homecoming parade.

Adacia Chambers deserves life in prison without parole if she was intoxicated.

If Chambers was mentally unstable, then this can be handled slightly differently, but she has still killed four people and deserves to be incarcerated.

If she does suffer from insomnia or some other physical ailment, then she deserves life in prison. She chose her actions and, even though she may not have anticipated these events, her choices caused the deaths and injuries of far too many.

No matter the reason behind this event, Chambers was the cause of it, and every outcome points to her being found guilty.

Families lost loved ones, and many were left scarred in this traumatic event, it is her fault.

There is no middle ground in this situation. Chambers was the cause of this disaster, and she deserves to be found guilty of the crimes she committed.

Just like attending games at Hilton Coliseum or walking around the Zodiac in the Memorial Union, spending time in Campustown seems to be essential to the ISU student experience. Whether it is finishing a project at Copyworks, grabbing some Jimmy John’s after class or going out to the bars during the weekends, plenty of opportunities are available for students to hang out in the area.

But what would it feel like if you, as an ISU student, could not enter many of the businesses just because you had a physical disability? This is the challenge some ISU students with disabilities face every time they want to travel down Welch Avenue or go into some of the businesses in Campustown. In addition to this lack of accessibility, no information about handicap accessible businesses or others areas in Campustown is available online.

In Campustown many of the doors are too far off the ground, don’t have mechanized door buttons, are not wide enough for many wheelchairs or have stairs leading into the building.

According to the American Disabilities Act of 1990, businesses are required to accommodate the needs of people with disabilities within the constraints of businesses’ finances.

Because the information is not public there is no way of knowing just how many students with physical disabilities attend Iowa State — however, making accommodations for those students who do need them is necessary.

Should these students’ access to this popular spot be limited and, as a result, their student experience at Iowa State be diminished because of their disabilities?

In addition to making better accommodations for students with disabilities in Campustown, shouldn’t buildings with particularly good or bad accessibility provide that information online? The Campustown Action Association, a collection of businesses in the Campustown area, does not have any information on its website about handicap accessibility.

While it is obvious why a collection of businesses would not want to publish a fault — like areas where people with physical disabilities may not be able to get into their business because of accommodation flaws — why wouldn’t the association want to publicize areas that are the most accessible? At the very least, the city of Ames should have the information online. But it currently does not.

Adding this information to the city’s website or the action association’s website seems like an easy fix to dramatically improve the lives of ISU students with disabilities. Brand new students arrive each year who have to go through this learning process of where they can and cannot go, and posting this information would be continuously beneficial.

We must ask ourselves if the way we treat students with physical disabilities is fair, especially when it comes to accessibility in and information about Campustown.

Wally Burnham, defense bask in win ISU football enjoying crucial Texas shutout

VIDEO J.D. Waggoner impersonates Wally Burnham Check out this story online, and look for the related content to find a video of defensive end J.D. Waggoner impersonating ISU defensive coordinator Wally Burnham.

By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com ISU defense coordinator Wally Burnham grabbed his television remote and took a seat next to his wife on Monday night.

Burnham flipped on the TV. He watched the broadcast from Saturday’s shutout against Texas — something he had never done in his ISU coaching career.

“I just wanted to see how [people] were seeing our kids,” Burnham said.

“Let’s say you sit in the film room, and you watch it with no sound and you’re talking, but you’ve got a little bit of emotion [from the TV]. You get to see the emotions of the kids and the fans, I just wanted to get a feel of it for the first time.”

And, of course, it was a lot easier for Burnham to watch it on TV rather than on the sidelines. “[My wife and I] didn’t sweat a call,” Burnham said.

In that game, the Cyclones shut out the Longhorns 24-0 in one of the best games in Burnham’s seven-year career at Iowa State.

Afterward, ISU coach Paul Rhoads presented Burnham with the game ball — something he has

Charlie Coffey/Iowa State Daily

ISU defensive coordinator Wally Burnham calls a play during Iowa State’s spring game at Jack Trice Stadium on April 11. Burnham and his 3-4 defense silenced critics with a shutout performance against Texas on Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium. The shutout was Burnham’s third at Iowa State.

done for all three of Burnham’s shutouts at Iowa State. Burnham added the ball to his collection on a shelf in his home.

But Burnham didn’t feel like the ball belonged to him. Just like he has done before, Burnham deflected the praise to his assistant coaches and players.

He said they all deserved it after a big win on the heels of three straight losses against the top-three offenses in the nation.

“My thoughts were that I need to start chipping this ball away and dividing it up between all of the defense,” Burnham said. “I’ve told them that, they know that. There was some great moments by our players to do that. I felt so proud for them. They preserved it, and they came out and did a good job.”

But Rhoads felt otherwise.

In today’s football, not many teams can pull off the shutout.

Against a perennial powerhouse team in the Longhorns, Burnham was the one leading the defense.

“Today’s age of football to shut out anybody … that’s a feat now,” Rhoads said. “He’s the one that’s leading it.”

Rhoads said Burnham has a natural tendency to create relationships with the players off the field.

His special relationships showed in his players’ reactions from Burnham’s

post-game gift.

Even though Burnham and his 3-4 defense have received criticism in the past weeks, this shutout against Texas showed what Burnham is capable of.

“I totally believe in [Burnham],” said defensive end J.D. Waggoner, who is listed as a starting defensive end for this weekend.

“I think [the game ball] was well deserved. He’s a great mind. I think that every call that he made, made sense.

He’s an aggressive play

caller. He wants us to go out there and make plays on the line of scrimmage.”

That shutout feat won’t come as easy against Iowa State’s next opponent Saturday.

Oklahoma boasts the eighth best offense in the nation, amassing 532.5 yards per game. The Sooners’ offense is similar to others in the Big 12 like Baylor, Texas Christian and Texas Tech in the style of high-paced, high-energy football.

Whatever the case, the ISU defense is ready for the challenge coming off its best performance of the season and in recent memory.

“In my opinion, [the shutout of Texas] was the turning point of our team as a whole,” said linebacker Jordan Harris. “I think everybody has the confidence that is sky-high right now. We’re going to play with some confidence and swagger on Saturday.”

Soccer keeps high hopes for next season

By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com It was a promising season for the ISU soccer team, which scored the biggest win in program history with an upset at No. 10 Pepperdine on Aug. 30. But the season quickly deteriorated into a sub-par year as the Cyclones finished with a 6-12 record, 0-8 in Big 12 play.

The Cyclones missed out on the Big 12 tournament and now have their sights set on next season, which they hope will yield a different result than 2015.

After two consecutive years of missing out on the Big 12 tournament, ISU coach Tony Minatta believes his returning players are dedicated to turning around the program.

“I think they finally realize what it actually takes and that they haven’t been putting that full amount of effort into it these past couple of years,” Minatta said.

Next year, the Cyclones will return leading goal-scorer Koree Willer, defensive stalwarts Madi Ott and Kourtney Camy and multiple contributors who gained experience during the past few seasons.

Minatta is especially excited to see his seniors respond. Next year’s seniors were freshmen

Koree Willer claims Big 12 honors ISU soccer had a rough season, but Koree Willer was a bright spot for the team.

Willer was recognized for her contributions when she was named to the All-Big 12 first team Monday.

Willer led the Cyclones with six goals, three assists and 15 points this season. She was tied for fifth in the conference in goals and eighth in total points.

Only a junior, Willer will return next season and again lead the Cyclones’ offensive attack. For her career, Willer ranks in the top 10 in ISU history with 51 career points, 20 career goals and seven game-winning goals.

Willer was the lone Cyclone to receive recognition on any All Big-12 team.

Brian Mozey/Iowa State Daily

Koree Willer dribbles the the ball around a UNI defender on Oct. 13. The Cyclones missed out on the Big 12 tournament for the second consecutive year this season, but they have optimism that next season will yield better results.

when Iowa State last qualified for the Big 12 tournament. After missing out on the tournament the last two years, Minatta is counting on his seniors to take the team back.

“I’m just excited to see them, because they’ve finally come to the realization they only get one more shot at it and to know that they’re going to put in everything that they have,” Minatta said.

Aside from his returning players, Minatta is excited about his incoming recruiting class. The

team will have more depth than in the past years.

The added depth will allow for more competitive practices and give Minatta the ability to fluctuate his lineup from time to time.

“It helps because if a player in the starting role knows that there is someone behind them that could take their spot,” Minatta said. “It definitely helps them not overlook an opponent because they know if they slip in their performance then some-

body else is going to step right in.”

Minatta said his players overlooked teams at times in the nonconference season, which brought the team into the conference schedule with little momentum.

After beating No. 10 Pepperdine, the team went into a small decline that turned into a sharp decline. It never truly recovered from the decline.

“When you lose that momentum that you had, it’s really tough

to regain, especially in the middle of the season,” Minatta said.

With this season in the rearview mirror, Minatta is looking ahead to next year’s team. He said next year’s seniors remind him of the 2013 seniors, who led the team to the Big 12 tournament for the first time since 2007.

Now, they’ll be the ones trying to lead it back.

“Nobody wants to end it like we did this year, especially when it’s their last year of play,” Minatta said.

ISU team captain excels Swimmer juggles school work with swimming responsibilities

By Cassidy.Miller @iowastatedaily.com Savanna Townsend is a leader — just ask any of her swimming teammates or coaches.

Her teammates even voted her a captain as a junior, something rarely done on the ISU swimming and diving team.

With the responsibilities of a marketing major and the demands of an athlete, Townsend is also on the executive board of the Student Activities Committee. On the board, Townsend and the other members organize events such as Soles for Souls and the upcoming ISU After Dark on Friday.

The captain recently helped the ISU swim team clinch last week’s victory against Omaha in the 100yard butterfly, the 100-yard freestyle and on the 200yard freestyle relay team.

With so much going on, Townsend said she still finds time to do it all.

“It kind of forces you to be successful in and out of the pool,” Townsend said.

“You have to balance your academics as well as your athletics and keep a healthy lifestyle.”

Townsend has been on the team for two years and has racked up quite a few honors.

She was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team in the 200-freestyle relay in 2014 and 2015 and Cyclone

Relay Swimmer of the Year two years in a row.

Townsend’s hard work has not gone unnoticed by her coaches and teammates.

“She’ll go the extra little bit, she’ll finish to the wall really hard on every race or anything we’re doing in practice,” said sophomore Laura Miksch, who described Townsend as a big sister to her. “She’ll run all the way to the end when some people take little short cuts. She’s a really good captain.”

Townsend’s swimming career didn’t originate at Iowa State.

Townsend, a Sturgeon Bay, Wisc., native first started swimming when she was 5-years-old and fell in love

immediately.

But it wasn’t her love for the pool that got Townsend into the sport — it was her sister.

“I started swimming because my sister was shy when she was younger, and Iowa State Daily so my parents thought it’d be a good idea to put her in ISU swimmer Savanna Townsend, center, walks on deck with teamduring the alumni meet Oct. 2 at Beyer Hall.

Gain upper hand on adulthood Use these tips to master life after college

By Taylor.Borde @iowastatedaily.com The 10 years people spend in their 20s help transition teenagers into adults.

These years can be spent wasted on shallow ambitions or used to establish a successful future.

Success has different meanings. Depending on who is asked, success could be a corner office, full passport or everlasting love.

True success blooms from personal contentment

and peace.

Here are the stepping stones to achieve a fulfilling and prosperous life: Don’t apologize for who you are As an adult, you should learn to own your assets and flaws. These are what make you unlike anyone else. Being comfortable in your skin exudes confidence, which attracts people.

Be accountable for your life choices In addition to being confident, you must own up to your mistakes and decisions.

Don’t blame misfortunes on the past. Employers value people who own up to their mistakes, fix what didn’t work and move forward.

tive

Gain a global perspec-

Travel. Learn about new cultures and people of different backgrounds.

Exposure to a different way of life could change the way you see the world.

Explore your interests Take a new class, watch a documentary or try a new food. Find out what drives your inner passion. Whether it’s cooking or photography, give it a couple weeks to test the waters.

Surround yourself with a loyal tribe Sort out the true friends from the acquaintances.

True friends should offer an endless support system and should always be honest with you. They should encourage you to be yourself.

Be conscious of your finances While those new shoes, T-shirt or dress are tempting, take a step back and think about the consequences. Are the impulse buys really worth a low credit score in the long run? Budget early so you are ready for the time when mom and dad no longer help with payments. This will also help with financing big purchase in the future.

Read Pick up a newspaper, magazine or novel and spend a half hour before bed reading. Catch up on what’s happening in the world. Or indulge in a fictional world. Either way, reading stimulates the brain and leads to better memo-

ry and stronger analytical thinking skills.

Drink more water The difference water makes in the skin, hair, body and mood is reason enough to drink water. It will reduce wrinkles and protects joints.

Wear sunscreen Unless you want to look like a leather bag, slather on some sunscreen. Once the rays have done their damage, there’s no going back.

Save time for working out To be your best, you have to feel your best. Working out helps release stress and positive endorphins that will improve your mood and increase energy levels. Life will only get busier once you start working, so develop the habit now

while you’re still in college.

Learn to cook Test out a new recipe every week. Microwavable meals will get old if you eat them every day, and you won’t be able to make it too long without an oldfashioned, home-cooked meal. Flip through mom’s cookbooks and ask family and friends for tips on how to cook on a budget.

Keep in touch with old mentors and co-workers Send an old boss an appreciation email or grab coffee with a close co-worker.

This will keep the network alive for future inquiries.

Adding all, a few or even one of these tips to your routine will benefit your career, health and well-being.

Don’t spend it all; how to save your money Easy ways to keep your cash in your pocket

By Emily.Schroer @iowastatedaily.com It’s no secret: most students experience money problems in college. With a lot of newfound freedom, students tend to spend money like it’s going out of style.

Are you looking for a way to keep money from magically disappearing every week?

Here are a few tips to help get you through college without going completely broke by the time graduation arrives:

Make a budget Sit down and decide how much money you can spend each week. This will be helpful to keep week after week.

When you first create a budget, only account for necessities, and then slowly add splurges and self-indulgences. Remember to categorize expenses and keep in mind that no cost is too small to include.

Categorizing food, rent, toiletries etc., will keep you organized and make delegating money easier.

Ride the bus Opportunities are available for students who don’t have the time to create a budget, such as riding a bus instead of driving, which is already paid for by student fees and will save money.

Take advantage of dis-

counts Other opportunities available are student discounts that the university and local businesses offer.

Look for coupons and discounts before purchasing anything. Modern options that counteract the physical cutting of coupons are available as well, such as price matching and coupon apps like Target Cartwheel.

Shop for groceries on a full stomach Never shop for groceries on an empty stomach.

Who knows what you will come home with after a hungry shopping trip?

Cook instead of eating out Another trick for saving money is to pull out the good old cooking recipes and start cooking instead of eating out. Eating out can

make money disappear very quickly. Investing in groceries once every few weeks will help save in the long run.

Brew coffee at home Buying coffee at the grocery store and brewing it at home will help eliminate coffee cart trips in the morning.

This will help save money and time.

Save money on campus Many small and random opportunities of saving money exist on campus. You can rent books, live with friends, check for fees at ATMs and get a job. Having a job will allow you to splurge every once in a while.

Remember to save money, so by the time graduation arrives, you will have a head start on professional life.

Instead of having an empty wallet, like the one pictured above, make a budget, take advantage of discounts and cook meals to save money.

hopes this is a statement of approval by his constituents.

Gartin said he hopes to focus on community service and affordable housing during his second term.

“With a town our size and our heart we should be more involved,” Gartin said Oct. 1.

Throughout his campaign, Gartin expressed concern that Ames is losing residents to nearby communities with better housing options, such as Ankeny.

On election night, Gartin said he was proud of the Ames community and the other candidates’ campaigns for their hard work and civility. He said that regardless of the outcome of the election, everyone involved “made the world a better place.”

Now that he’s been reelected, Gartin said the new council’s first big focus will be the city’s budget.

The Ames City Council election was one of many elections throughout Story County, which drew 7,104 voters to 37 polling locations. According to the county, the official turnout rate for the county was 13.11 percent.

Council members-elect will be sworn in Jan. 2, 2016 for the next term.

to stay involved with the things that really interest him,” Nelson said.

Two of the cornerstones of Nelson’s campaign have been affordable housing for low- and moderate-income families and transportation in and around Ames.

Now that he’s been elected, Nelson said he plans to continue work on land use policies in Ames.

“We’ve taken steps forward on several of those fronts,” Nelson said, “but it’s something that takes a little bit of time, and I’m really happy to be able to have the next four years to finish some of the things [the council has] started.”

Bronwyn Beatty-Hansen won the at-large seat, a position that represents all of Ames. Beatty-Hansen received 2499 votes, while her opponent Matt Converse received 2191 votes.

Beatty-Hansen, an operations manager at Wheatsfield Cooperative, received a master’s in political science from Iowa State, where she studied the effects of local government. She said in a student-led forum Oct. 24 that her interest in local government has only grown since her graduate school

research.

Transportation and affordable housing were two focuses of Beatty-Hansen’s campaign, although she told the Daily that the city is already on the right path.

“I don’t have a huge agenda of change,” BeattyHansen said. “I think the community has done really well.”

Beatty-Hansen awaited election results surrounded by friends and family at Torrent Brewing Company in downtown Ames. She received the news of her victory via text message and announced the results to a room of guests with a speech thanking everyone for their support.

Now that she’s elected, Beatty-Hansen said she will continue meeting with city and community leaders to stay current on important issues. Beatty-Hansen said she plans to “hit the ground running” when her term begins.

Tim Gartin, an incumbent councilman, won the Ward 2 seat unopposed.

Gartin is an attorney and temporary instructor at Iowa State. After serving two years on the council, Gartin was unopposed for re-election.
