GSB faces deficit Enrollment error leads to negative balance reading

By Lissandra.Villa @iowastatedaily.com The Government of the Student Body’s capital projects account has a negative balance $102,286.50 because of what is believed to be an error related to an incorrect enrollment count.

“The enrollment count that we were using was higher than the actual enrollment, which then correlated to the fees that we collected being lower than we anticipated.

Hughes And that’s what resulted in the over-allocation,” said Spencer Hughes, president of GSB. GSB’s investment account, known as the reserve account, contains $105,764.52.

GSB acquired this money when it sold a fleet of vehicles that were used by students; when the university began allowing students to rent vehicles, GSB sold theirs.

In an email dated Tuesday, Aug. 20, GSB Financial Director Dan Rediske recommended to the GSB Senate that the entirety of the reserve account’s balance be transferred to the capital projects account at the first meeting of the year, scheduled for Wednesday. The transfer requires a two-thirds vote by the Senate.

“Obviously, it took me just about by surprise as anyone else,” Rediske said. “Getting an email that tells me that one of my accounts is negative, basically out of the blue, because, I guess I had assumed the situation had been resolved. Because we knew

A NEW LEGACY

Brian Achenbach and Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily

Because of increased enrollment demands for campus housing, the Department of Residence has leased spaces in Maricopa and Legacy Towers apartments. Out of the estimated 11,200 students living in campus housing, about 500 have elected to live in the newly leased off-campus apartments.

University leases space in Campustown to combat high demand for housing

By Lissandra.Villa @iowastatedaily.com When the Department of Residence finished re-contracting with ISU students for the 2013-14 academic year, it realized a problem.

The department would be approximately 1,200 bed-spaces short of meeting the high demand for campus housing.

Last year, 10,426 students lived on campus. DOR anticipates more than 11,200 residents this academic year. The return rate between the two years increased by 7.2 percent.

To make up for the lack of accommodations available, DOR was forced to come up with fast solutions to continue honoring its tradition of providing on-campus housing for all students who request it. These solu-

Out-of-state students find tuition increase in new year

By Zoë.Woods @iowastatedaily.com Sean Lundy is a senior from Minnesota studying global resource systems and nutrition and wellness.

During his academic career, he has been awarded many scholarships and grants.

Because of that, he was able to more easily afford the college experience. His friends, however, were not as fortunate.

“I had a lot of friends from Minnesota that haven’t been lucky with scholarships and grants, that are walking away from Iowa State with astronomical amounts of debt,” Lundy said.

University President Steven Leath said the 2.35 percent increase in out-of-state students’ tuition for the 2013-14 school year is going toward uncompleted projects on campus.

“We took the tuition revenues we got from having more students, as well as increases in nonresident [tuition] and rolled that into a pool to do a number of things,” Leath said.

Some of these projects include the increase of money allocated to refurbish classrooms and to compensate faculty and staff at the university.

An additional $1 million a year

tions include adding 720 beds at Frederiksen Court, of which only 240 will be available in August. Additionally, 424 students have been placed in residence hall dens and community spaces, with another 503 students placed in off-campus space leased by DOR. That last course of action, one the university had never undertaken before, entailed the university leasing 299 bed spaces in Legacy Towers apartments on Stanton Avenue.

Some ISU students have recently accepted a cash incentive from the Department of Residence to move from the residence halls into on-campus apartments.

Ninety-six upperclassmen students have accepted a $1,000 incentive to move into university operated apartments: Frederiksen Court, Schilleter and University Village, Legacy Towers, and Maricopa. This incentive was offered after Department of Residence members saw they were 100 beds short for the Fall 2013 semester in the residence halls.

“Originally to some people, it looked like we

were paying students to leave but this is not true,” said Peter Englin, director of the Department of Residence. “We are just relocating them; people were reacting to the headlines, not the facts.”

The department at the end of May sent out an email to the 1,800 returnees to the residence halls asking if they would like to move to an on-campus apartment; there was no response to the email.

Another similar email was sent out to the same students with the same result.

The DOR then offered a $500 incentive to these 1,800 students which yielded 31 takers.

On the fourth try, the DOR offered students a $1,000 incentive; 65 more students accepted the incentive after the offer was increased.

For the original 31 takers, their incentive was raised from $500 to $1,000 following the DOR’s increase.

Tim Little, owner of Finley’s Curbside Beastro, cooks hot dogs as part of his stand’s food selection. The Beastro is one of four food trucks that will be open on campus this semester. The others are Smokin’ G’s BBQ, Battle’s Barbeque and Indian Delights.

Food truck fleet expands on campus

By Bailey.McGrath @iowastatedaily.com Students and faculty will notice new additions to the ISU campus during the lunch hours as the new school year kicks off.

Three new vendors — Smokin G’s BBQ, Battle’s Barbeque, and Indian Delights — will join Finley’s Curbside Beastro with food stands or trucks between the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on weekdays Finley’s Curbside Beastro was set up in May 2013 during Dead Week and has continued its business on campus throughout the summer. After seeing its success, Iowa State decided to expand the vendor options.

“That’s why we decided to add three more locations that kind of surround different portions of campus that either have large auditoriums or are busy enough to support a vendor to see if we could get a better test,” said Cory Harms, associate director of purchasing.

The increase in enrollment was one of the main deciding factors of these additions. Existing venues for food are already busy, and there was no time to create new ones, Harms said.

“There was a lot of interest from

students and faculty and staff to have food options on campus for lunch,” Harms said. “We wanted to add something that would be convenient and hopefully affordable.”

ISU staff went out and explored local farmers markets and asked different vendors if they would have any interest in adding a stand to Iowa State’s campus.

“It really took the first three to respond and come up and visit, and that would give us a test group through June of next year,” Harms said. “[These four vendors’ experience will help decide] whether we want to expand it, do away with it or leave it the same.”

Harms believes the new vendors will not affect the business at ISU Dining locations, especially since a majority of people on campus are not on a dining plan.

“It’s nice for those folks to have an option to eat too, especially in a place where there isn’t a dining place available,” Harms said.

Vendors stationed out of Ames are hoping this will help them reach more of the ISU community.

“We want to have more visibility in the local community … and have a little more business,” said Dipak Biswas, owner of Indian Delights.

Indian Delights sees a lot of stu-

dents and faculty at their sit down restaurant already, but Biswas said they are excited to see everyone on campus.

Battle’s Barbeque also is looking forward to this exposure as well.

“A big thing for us is, even though we are pretty close to campus, we don’t have lot of exposure to students,” said Chad Watkins, general manager of Battle’s Barbeque. “This is a good opportunity to reach students.”

All of the vendors will be open as long as the weather permits.

“I know that a couple of the units are enclosed, and they might try to serve in the winter if there’s still traffic,” Harms said.

Iowa State might expand its food stand options someday, but for right now, Harms said, the university just wants to offer a few more options for people without them leaving campus.

Regents freeze tuition, emphasize transparency

By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com A tuition freeze for undergraduate resident students and new transparency practices for Iowa’s public universities and specialty schools are among the Board of Regents accomplishments of summer 2013.

The Board of Regents, a group of nine citizen volunteers appointed by the governor, worked with Iowa Legislature and Gov. Terry Branstad to approve a tuition freeze for undergraduate resident students, which begins this fall, for the first time in 30 years.

“I think that’s a reflection of the success of the last two years of stopping the funding losses of the legislature and the governor,” said Bruce Rastetter, president of the Board of Regents.

In addition to the tuition freeze, the board was given recommendations from the Transparency Task Force to increase transparency between Iowa’s public universities: Iowa State, University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa, Two specialty schools, Iowa School for the Deaf and the Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School, also were included in the recommendations.

The Transparency Task Force had four public hearings for comments and concerns between April 17 and May 2, and

three meetings between April 5 and June 19. The public hearings were designed to hear comments from concerned Rastetter Iowans to help formulate recommendations for the schools to be more transparent with the public.

“We spent a lot of hours and got a lot of input from interested Iowans all over the state,” said Jack Lashier, director of the Iowa Hall of Pride and public member of the Transparency Task Force. “[We digested] all of the comments and input we received and put together those recommendations in the best possible way.”

At the final meeting, the force created recommendations to pass along to the Board of Regents for approval. The recommendations were unanimously approved at the Board of Regents meeting on Aug. 5.

The force recommended that each university and specialty school have a compliance officer to coordinate an open public meeting prior to each Board of Regents meeting for community members to comment on the board’s docket.

Each compliance officer will be in charge of public requests.

Rastetter said he was unsure if the universities and specialty

It also includes the appropriations the university receives from the state.

Every year the university brings in a total amount that reaches over $500 million per year through those two primary sources. Because of this rise in tuition, however, students might see changes in enrollment.

The raise in tuition could makes changes the areas from which the university receives its out-of-state students. Some places where students are coming from are better funded than others, said Laura Doering, registrar in the Records & Registration department.

“The diversity of our student population is critical to the student experience here at Iowa State [and] maintaining the richness it currently has,” Doering said.

David Biedenbach, assistant vice president for financial planning and budgets, said he believes the moderate increase in out-of-state tuition will not affect the enrollment of out-of-state or international students.

schools would be ready before the next Board of Regents meeting on Sept. 11, which will be at Northern Iowa.

As for the next academic year, Rastetter said he looks forward to working with the three new committees within the Board of Regents.

The Regent Appropriations Committee will look at how the three universities’ funds have been distributed in the past. This committee also will be charged with working on performance funding based on four-year graduation rates.

“We think that’s an important priority,” Rastetter said. “We think we should attach dollars to that to incentivize to make sure that the better number of those dollars will follow to the up four year graduation rate.”

Larry McKibben, a board member from Marshalltown, Iowa, is pegged to head the Efficiency Committee that will look at various ways the universities can save money by working with the provosts’ offices to see what academic programs are initiated and what programs are terminated.

Milt Dakovich, a board member from Waterloo, Iowa, who is also new to the board, is said to lead the third committee, the Strategic Building and Planning Committee. The committee is designed to give the

board a better understanding of why campus buildings cost as much as they do.

“These three committees in particular will make a major impact long term,” Rastetter said.

Although the committees show signs of positivity for the board, Rastetter said there will be challenges to face with the Legislature.

“We would like to think about if there is a way we can freeze tuition again next year,” Rastetter said. “That obviously depends on funding.”

Rastetter talked of the growing enrollment, especially at Iowa State and Iowa.

“The record enrollment is exciting, yet challenging, because the campuses are full, and we need to make sure the quality of education stays there,” Rastetter said.

The variety of newly planned committees and securing funding are key priorities.

“I think students should know that we’re focused on the cost of college education. We think it’s critical that it be both affordable … and [give] the ability to graduate in four years,” Rastetter said.

The board’s top priority is continuing the mission of the universities.

“The reality of it is: The reason the universities exist is because of the students and [their]

Fast facts The Board of Regents is a group of nine citizen volunteers who govern Iowa’s three public universities, Iowa State, University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa, and two specialty schools, Iowa School for the Deaf and Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School.

The board’s governs through policy-making and oversees on matters such as faculty salary, academic programs, budget approval, tuition and fees, and hiring and evaluating university presidents and specialty school superintendents.

Nearly all of the board’s funding for the two specialty schools comes from the state of Iowa.

Roughly 36 percent of the board’s three universities’ funds comes from the state with approximately 58 percent from tuition revenues.

The board meets once a month in different locations.

The next meeting is scheduled to take place on Sept. 11 at Northern Iowa.

ability to obtain higher education,” Rastetter said. “We want to make sure it’s affordable and the student debt issue is long term, at best.”

about providing the same tuition freeze benefits to outof-state students.

“We want to continue to attract students from outside of the state of Iowa, just because we think that there’s opportunities for those students to come and learn and do great things at Iowa State.”

“I don’t think that the tuition increasing is going to hinder that [diversity]. I think the reason why students come to Iowa State is for the programs and experience,” Biedenbach said.

Leath said he has focused a lot of attention on keeping the in-state tuition from rising. He said he intends to present the same kind of proposal to the governor and the Iowa Legislature this year as what was presented last year.

His proposal to the state’s government last year said that if the university were to receive more money from the state, residents’ tuition would be frozen for the 2013-14 academic year.

“I think that our Legislature has worked very well with the Board [of Regents] and different schools, and I think they really understand the economic impacts their schools have on the state of Iowa,” said Hannah Walsh, student representative on the Board of Regents.

The revenue numbers that are coming into the university show that there is a possibility of future tuition freezes, Leath said.

“It all depends on the market,” Biedenbach said

Enrollment grows for 7th consecutive year 32,000 make for largest class in school history

By Charles.O’Brien @iowastatedaily.com For the seventh consecutive year, the enrollment at Iowa State has increased, this year breaking the enrollment record set only last fall.

With the enrollment projected to be approximately 32,000 students (official enrollment count will be taken on the tenth day of classes), Iowa State will surpass the record number of students set at 31,040 during the fall 2012 semester.

“The value of education here, the fantastic student experience, the economic value and the type of majors offered here are just a number of factors that support our increase,” said Tom Hill, senior vice president for Student Affairs. “It’s a great situation to have a demand for your product and the admission staff has done a great job of hitting the target population.”

University President Steven Leath believes student interest is up in the university and that things like the 90 percent job placement average, increased sports exposure and the land-grant tradition are part of it.

With the record number of enrollment increasing so rapidly and consistently, a few items are being monitored by the university administration. One area Leath is keeping an eye on is the student experience.

“We created the Student Experience Enhancement Council a little while ago and they are looking at all aspects related to the experience: classrooms, seats on the CyRide buses, etc.,” Leath said.

“They are also working on a survey of students to see whether the experience has increased since we’ve grown. We’re thinking ahead so we don’t run into problems in

hope will help accommodate the high enrollment. In the new master plan, priorities and funding would be shifted to the areas most demanded to alleviate the stress put on them by the enrollment increases; one example of this is building new lecture halls.

Spencer Hughes, president of the Government of the Student Body, believes that preserving the ISU experience for students is of the utmost importance.

Hughes also thinks the university has taken the best steps possible to prepare for the increased enrollment, but they still need to be prepared for the possibility of continued growth.

“The student experience could take a hit if we don’t do something to accommodate this growth,” said Hughes. “This issue needs to be constantly on our administration’s mind.”

The idea of capping the enrollment at Iowa State is something Leath said he would be reluctant to do. He said that doing so would cease the Iowa State tradition of accepting all qualifying students, espe-

“I would rather squeeze a little bit and deal with the growing pains than close the door on students,” Leath said.

Along with the increased enrollment in the past couple of years, Iowa State has seen its funding increased to them from the state of Iowa and, during Leath’s tenure, 140 new faculty members have been hired.

“Our enrollment is sending out a good, positive message, and we are showing the state of Iowa that we are being true to our land grant message and are doing what we promised to do,” Hill said.

New major brings new options for students

By Bailey McGrath @iowastatedaily.com As of the 2013-14 school year, a new public relations major has been added to the curriculum at Iowa State in the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication.

This area of study is expected to be in high demand in the work force in the next several years.

“Public relations is one of the fastest growing fields in the country,” said Michael Bugeja, director of the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication. “It’s not only the fastest growing in communication, but fields in general. It is expected to expand 23 percent between 2012 and 2020.”

The addition of this new major has been brewing for years now. Suman Lee, associate professor of journalism and communication, was chairman of the committee that proposed the separate major for public relations.

“I have been a chair of the public relations ad hoc committee which was formed almost two years ago,” Lee said.

“We formed a committee with the consent of the faculty and the leaders and administrators, and then … we submitted the proposal almost a year ago, starting the approval process.”

Iowa State’s addition of this new major is behind the national trend, Lee said. The stand-alone program was needed.

“What I see is that the public relations program has grown here at the Greenlee School for many decades,” Lee said. “So this new PR degree is giving the school the right fit for the growing body.”

The Greenlee School was well prepared for the new major, said Beate Schmittmann, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

“The Greenlee School faculty and the director came to me and proposed to develop a stand alone degree, since we already had most of the courses and internships in place that didn’t require any additional resources but would serve the

Bugeja said public relations as a stand-alone program was needed to meet the high demands of the job of a public relations practitioner.

“They organize a whole company’s brand and work with advertisers and marketers,” he said. “They have to have all the journalism skills. They have to know how to communicate through every single platform.

Students in the Greenlee School have already been taking numerous internships in public relations, so the new program will put them even farther ahead, said Kim McDonough, program and internship coordinator for the Greenlee School.

“Some will decide to go to public relation firms, like Weber Shandwick or Edleman corporations,” McDonough said.

Over the last couple of years, the reserve account has been used to supplement projects such as Cyclone Cinema.

Hughes said GSB will look at placing safeguards to ensure that a similar situation does not occur again. GSB proposed a student activity fee increase for the 2014-15 academic year of $1.76 per semester, a 4.9 percent increase. Part of that money would be used to relieve GSB’s current financial situation as well as to help rebuild a reserve account.

“Having looked at all of the facts and reviewed the history of the accounts, I think we’ll be able to present that information to all of the senators, show them what happened, make sure that they understand it,” said Hillary Kletscher, vice president of GSB. “And once they understand it, I think they’ll see this is an easy choice to make to move the money from the investment account to the capital projects … account.”

Other students and faculty have expressed excitement about the addition of the public relations major.

Schmittmann speaks for the college of liberal arts as a whole.

Enrollment brings new opportunity The mass migration of freshmen, transfer and returning students to the ISU campus in some ways resembles an ant farm upended onto the floor. With students scurrying to figure out textbooks, classes and new residency, both the campus and general Ames area are in chaos.

This scene is repeated at the start of each fall semester, but this year brings even more commotion. With recordbreaking enrollment for the third year in a row and a larger-than-ever swarm of freshmen, campus seems to be overflowing.

Returning students have voiced complaints of the cramped campus, but even incoming freshmen who have yet to step foot in their first college classes can feel the effects of increased enrollment.

Of 15 random freshmen spoken to about enrollment issues, eight expressed concerns over an inability to get into the right classes. Obviously, not all students are going to be able to have the perfect schedule, but the larger the student body, the scarcer the seats in the most desirable of classes.

Additionally, six out of the same 15 complained about the extremely long lines outside of dining centers such as the Union Drive Marketplace. Those who were here last year remember the noontime dining center rush that made eating on campus inconvenient; this problem is only worsened by the student enlargement.

Overcrowded cafeterias and classrooms may seem like bad news, but fortunately those aren’t the only elements of increasing enrollment. To expand and improve as a university, students have to suffer through the “growing pains.”

Some of the same students who voiced their unhappiness with the issue also spoke of the positive aspects of increased enrollment.

“You can tell it’s a good college to go to, that’s why enrollment is growing,” said Jordan Vorwald, freshman in computer engineering.

Others think similarly, reasoning that increased enrollment will only serve to benefit the reputation of the university. It is more noteworthy if a student’s degree is from a school that has been experiencing severe growth.

In addition to building the “Iowa State brand,” some freshmen felt that a larger number of students would provide better competition, leading to a more academically motivated student body.

It is that attitude that serves best for students at Iowa State. Individuals might not be able to do anything about the sheer number of students on campus, but they can certainly work to improve their standing among the masses.

In a sea of ever-changing faces, one person has to work harder to be recognized. Maybe the university’s rapid growth is not ideal for everyone, but there is a way to make the best of it. As Iowa State’s enrollment and reputation continue to grow, students will thrive and leave Ames with a degree worth bragging about.

New students and upperclassmen team leaders crowd the sidewalk and steps outside of Hilton Coliseum on Thursday as they await the Destination Iowa State Kickoff. The annual event acts as a weekend welcome to incoming freshmen and transfer students.

Return of the red backpacks Advice for succeeding as part of Iowa State’s ‘ever-awesome culture’ Freshman, listen. I’m going to tell you things you might not have heard from your Destination Iowa State leaders. Returning students, please give this to any incoming students who may not know about the Daily.

First of all, if you want to be a part of the ever-awesome campus culture of Iowa State, ditch your red shoestring backpack and use it only for going to the gym. Returning students use “the red backpack” as a freshman designator.

Yes, this includes the lanyards.

While there is nothing wrong with being a freshman — we’ve all been there — you don’t want to unknowingly ostracize yourself from the broader community. My column will give you a few words of wisdom I’ve accumulated during the past five years that I wish someone would have told me before I stepped foot out of my dorm… where you’re told you have the right of way at the crosswalk (which is true) and think that warrants blind entry into the roadway. Vehicles will still kill you.

Dorm life is an experience everyone should go through at least once, but it’s definitely something you might be glad to move on from a year or two down the road. It’s almost a rite of passage.

The people you live with either will be people you stay friends with for many years to come or people you make every effort to exclude yourself from.

By Ian.Timberlake @iowastatedaily.com I suggest you make an effort to at least get to know your floormates and participate in activities with them at least once. At the very minimum: steal someone’s towel, write “gullible” on the ceiling, and get your water fountain signed by Shawn Johnson (true story).

Move out of the dorms after no more than two years. For me, I should have moved out after the first year.

Hindsight is 20/20. Off-campus living is less expensive, and you have far better amenities, such as more space and independence, not to mention you don’t have to pay out the butt for meal plans.

Trust me, it’s far too much money per meal. With that said, just because your meals are buffet-style doesn’t mean you should consume yourself to death.

Another thing: Don’t drink yourself to death. Drink smart. We all know that you come to college with parties on your mind. There’s nothing wrong with going out and having fun; on my second night at Iowa State, the police stopped me for swimming in the Memorial Union fountain. Remember why you’re here and how much money you/ someone is paying for your education.

Alcohol is a quick road to disaster if you don’t keep yourself in friendly company.

Also, don’t drink bad alcohol and don’t get sloshed more often than you call your grandmother.

Rape is a real thing in college towns and alcohol makes it too easy. All of you, especially the ladies, should program

There are plenty of people on campus willing to help you, including your advisers. But take their advice with a grain of salt. Your advisers will often be some of your favorite people to talk to, and a lot of them are great at their jobs, but (with rarity) what they say can be all hat and no cattle, so always doublecheck what your advisers tell you so you never have to retake a class or drop a class when you don’t actually need to.

Lastly, respect your roommates.

It’s not OK to use their stuff without permission. It’s not OK to blast music without their permission. It’s not OK to lock them out while you have sex. It’s not OK to have sex with someone while they are currently in the room. It’s not OK to not shower for days without their permission. It’s not OK to be passiveaggressive, ever. Nobody wants that.

Enjoy your time at Iowa State.

There’s a reason your parents say college was the best time of their life. You’ll change in ways you never thought possible. You will learn things you never dreamed of. You will experience things you’ll take to your deathbed. If you take anything from this, know your professors don’t teach you what to learn, they teach you how to learn. It’s all on you.

Change your ways, change your life Take time to assess your personal responsibilities, improve life’s hardships If you are having little to no success in improving your lot in life, maybe it might be time for a personal responsibility assessment.

Justice debatable in ‘stop and frisk’ laws On Aug. 12 of this year, New York District Judge Shira A. Scheindlin ruled on the case Floyd v. City of New York; the issue was a policy known as “stop and frisk,” a New York Police Department’s policy that made it acceptable to stop and frisk a person if they felt there was “reasonable suspicion.”

From January 2004 to June 2012, the NYPD made 4.4 million stops. Of these stops, 52 percent were followed by a protective frisk for a weapon, which was found in 1 percent of frisks. Of the people stopped, 52 percent were black and 31 percent were Hispanic. At the time, New York City’s population was 23 percent black, 29 percent Hispanic and 33 percent white.

The legality of “stop and frisk” already had been determined in a historic Supreme Court case named Terry v. Ohio in 1968. The issue was whether or not an individual’s Fourth Amendment right to be secure in “their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures” was violated.

In Terry v. Ohio, a “stop” was considered similar to a “search” and a “frisk” was considered similar to a “seizure,” but a “stop and frisk” needed a “reasonable suspicion” where as a “search and seizure” needed a “probable cause.” The reasoning was that police have a duty to stop a crime if possible, and for their own protection, they have a right to make sure no weapons are a possible threat.

The issue in Floyd v. City of New York was whether the police had a “reasonable suspicion” and whether that

By Claire.Yetley @iowastatedaily.com “reasonable suspicion” was determined by race. This is a reasonable question, considering the percentage of nonwhite people who have been subject to “stop and frisk” is very disproportionate to the racial makeup of the city.

By the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment individuals are protected against intentional discrimination based on race. So, if a police officer determined a person “reasonably suspicious” mainly based on his or her race, that would be a violation of the Equal Protection Clause.

The statistics are not sufficient to prove the officers were taking race into consideration when determining “reasonable suspicion,” since they could be considered just circumstantial.

The NYPD argues there has been a dramatic decrease in crime since 2004, when this policy was put in place. But Scheindlin made the point: “I emphasize at the outset, as I have throughout the litigation, that this case is not about the effectiveness of stop and frisk in deterring or combating crime. This Court’s mandate is solely to judge the constitutionality of police behavior, not its effectiveness as a law enforcement tool.”

The court then mandated that, in an effort to fix this problem, the NYPD is required to wear cameras on their person.

So what does this mean for modern day civil rights?

It’s a step in the right direction, but it doesn’t solve the problem. There is no way for the court or the United States to regulate racial stereotypes in an individual’s mind. And unfortunately, there is no way to prove the officers were acting on racist notions. But maybe this prominent of a court case will make the NYPD and other police departments reflect upon the way they are handling the public, and question themselves.

Police departments across the nation could reflect upon the Floyd v. City of New York and its eventual outcomes by questioning the way they are handling the public and what truthfully constitutes “reasonable suspicion.”

>>CHANGE p6 quality of life.

In doing an honest personal responsibility assessment, you need to accept that changing your circumstances is under your control if you do the things that need to be done.

Don’t rest on excuses, and don’t feel sorry for yourself. When something happens beyond your control, don’t dwell on why it happened.

Instead focus on what you can do to better the situation. How can you change or adjust to improve your situation? If you and your spouse are drifting apart, then invest more time in experiencing each other’s interests.

Spend less time discussing the “problem” and more time on both your interests.

If the economy is bad, find out what jobs are still out there and learn that skill. Try part-time or volunteer work. Network with others on a daily basis. Keep innovating. Keep trying and always be responsible. Always be neat, on time and enthusiastic. Stay positive. Even in the worst economy someone is always working. Find out what is needed out there, and get those skill sets. Sell yourself to everyone you meet. Keep improving; something will happen.

If you are not doing well in school and want to change that situation, then stop blaming the professors or the subject matter. Focus instead on what you personally can do to improve your situation. Many new students try to find an easier way to study, or they just try to scrape by. The end result is usually an academic disaster.

I was one of those students until a light bulb turned on in my head. It wasn’t whether I had a good professor or bad professor who determined my success. It wasn’t the complexity of the subject matter that was hold-

ing me back. It was me who held me back. It was how I responded to my circumstances that determined my success. I studied harder. I no longer hesitated to visit the professor as soon as I had a question, I asked other students to explain a problem, and I hit the Internet for clearer explanations of the subject matter. You can learn almost anything from online resources if you try. There is so much you can do to improve your situation.

In my case, I was able to change my attitude. Now if I don’t succeed, it’s for lack of effort, not because of a poor

teacher or tough subject. I stopped giving up on learning the tough subjects or making excuses. In a nutshell, I tried harder until I got it. I took personal responsibility for my life and circumstances. It was always within my control to change my situation. All it took was accepting personal responsibility for my situation and doing what I needed to do in order to succeed. The transformation for me has been great.

If your life is in a rut, try a personal responsibility assessment. It just might change your life for the better.

CYCLONES

Violations remain unresolved

By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com Jamie Pollard’s laughter showed how frustrated the ISU athletic director is that the NCAA has not resolved Iowa State’s violations case.

The NCAA has given the athletic department multiple indications of end dates in the almost two-year-old case, the most recent being July 31.

“Of what year?” Pollard said. “I thought it was going to be resolved a year ago.”

The athletic department self-reported violations to the NCAA in November 2011 after an investigation revealed it made 1,484 impermissible phone calls to recruits between 2008-11 across all 18 varsity sports. The investigation showed 1,405 of the calls were because of a failure to log previously missed calls but determined 79 were clearcut violations made outside of an allowed period of time.

The investigation, which began in April 2011 after men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg notified Pollard of a potential violation made by former student assistant Keith Moore, reviewed more than 750,000 calls during the three-year period by all 69 coaches.

Since then, it has been a waiting game.

“I’m numb,” Pollard said.

“It’s been so long; it’s mindboggling. I’ve stopped even thinking about it. I’m not losing sleep over it because I’m pretty confident in the outcome.”

The department placed itself on probation for two years starting in November 2011 and said it has invested or will invest more than $82,000 during the next three years on compliance software. It already imposed a temporary call ban on various involved coaches.

The NCAA is likely to add its own sanctions. But the governing body doesn’t always follow precedent, making it unclear what might result from the case.

“It’s hard to say what’s going to happen,” said NCAA compliance expert B. David Ridpath of Ohio University.

“You might see some recruiting restrictions and some other sanctions like they have

Attendance increases at athletic events, drives TV coverage

By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com

T

here was a time when ISU Athletic Director Jamie Pollard could look out his office window overlooking Jack Trice Stadium and see an abundance of empty seats on game day.

When Saturday rolls around and the lights flicker on for the season opener against Northern Iowa, fans will pour into a sold out stadium. The Cyclones enter the season with 13 consecutive games attended by more than 50,000 fans.

“We’ve kind of grown it organically, because we haven’t had, ‘Wow, we just won the Big 12, so now everybody wants to be a part of it,’” Pollard said. “We’ve grown it by, ‘OK, we’re improving, come get involved.’”

The average attendance per game for ISU football has risen more than 16 percent since Pollard arrived in 2005. Season tickets then sat around 22,000, compared to more than 43,000 that the program passed this month. The growth doesn’t rest solely in football. Iowa State has also seen substantial growth in attendance in men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball.

“We’ve created a culture within this athletic department that mirrors what Iowans expect,” Pollard said. “Think about it: agriculture, farms, families. It isn’t just about, ‘Well Johnny is my best son.’ It’s our whole family.”

Iowa State will launch Cyclones.tv on cable television across the state this week, and the program’s visibility is higher than ever. That doesn’t mean Iowa State has made it. Pollard remembers those darker days, and he knows there is room for improvement.

to think we’d have more athletic success.”

“We’ve spent the last seven years coming out of being basically, athletically, the worst program in the Big 12, because we were.”

There is a feeling from Pollard that the Cyclones have moved up a few notches. The focus now has turned to how the program will take the next step.

QB Richardson sets example for Rohach

By Dylan.Montz @ iowastatedaily.com One thing is certainly clear in the minds of quarterbacks Sam Richardson and Grant Rohach: Richardson will take the snaps as starter this season for the Cyclones with Rohach as his backup.

The decision by coach Paul Rhoads, made prior to the start of fall camp, has led to Richardson feeling more poised to begin the season.

“Last year, growing into a starter at the end of the season, it’s something that I had to quickly catch up with and now it’s something I’m pretty used to and conscious of,” Richardson said of his poise and calm demeanor on the field.

“It’s something that I’ve really worked on with myself and my game.”

Now in the starting role, Richardson, a redshirt sophomore, has taken on a role of being the most experienced ISU quarterback and has been a resource Rohach has used throughout fall camp.

“We sit next to each other in meeting rooms and I follow him with every rep,” Rohach said. “I’m watching him and taking mental reps when he’s going. Coming off the field if I have a question, I know I can go to Sam or [offensive coordinator

Courtney Messingham].”

“We stay in touch and make sure all the quarterbacks are communicating.”

Perhaps the most important lesson Rohach has been able to learn from Richardson is that it is necessary to stay ‘locked in’ despite being in a role where he may not see the field very many times this season.

Rohach only has to look at Richard­ son’s performance against Kansas last season where he was suddenly put in the game to lead the offense. Richardson completed 23 of 27 passes for 250 yards and four touchdowns.

“Sam went in and he had a phenomenal game,” Rohach said. “It’s kind of like thinking about the future like ‘Oh, what if that ever happened to me?’ It’s one of those things where people say, ‘It’s going to happen, it’s going to happen,’ but you never think.

“It happened for Sam, so I’ve got to stay in that same mindset.”

Rohach feels the game has been slowing down for him this fall and he has been able to see defensive schemes unfold more quickly than in the past.

He also has gained the confidence from Rhoads to be the No. 2 quarterback. “[Rohach has done] some things well

and has the confidence of our players as we move along,” Rhoads said at the ISU media day. “If something happened to Sam — his helmet came off and he had to

miss a snap — and Grant went in there, there wouldn’t be any reservation or hesitation by our kids to keep moving along with our offense.”

Coach shows confidence in season’s young setters

By Clint.Cole @iowastatedaily.com Filling the shoes of an All-American setter is no easy task for any college volleyball team, but that’s what the Cyclones must do now that they are without Alison Landwehr.

Sophomore Jenelle Hudson will get her chance this season.

Head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch announced after the intrasquad scrimmage Saturday that Hudson will be the starting setter when the season begins Friday, Aug. 30.

That doesn’t mean she wasn’t given some competition for the position from junior Taylor Goetz.

“She’s so athletic; she can get to just about anything; she’s just a fun player to watch,” Johnson-Lynch said of Hudson. “I feel like her sets to the outsides are very, very consistent.”

At the intrasquad scrimmage Saturday, Aug. 24, Hudson had 37 assists to go along with six digs and an ace.

Last season, Landwehr finished 21st in the nation in assists per set with 11.32 and was a third-team All-American. “[Landwehr’s] a great mentor and

>> STATE p8 Extending the footprint with TV Early on in his tenure as Iowa State’s president, a fan in Northeast Iowa reminded Steven Leath that, just a few years ago, a Cyclones game was hard to come by in many parts of the state.

The Big 12’s TV contract has pushed Iowa State onto various Fox networks along with ESPN. Last year Iowa State made $22 million from TV revenue, and that number is expected to jump to $30 million and beyond in coming years.

The Cyclones also own their rights to one football game per season, multiple men’s basketball games and all other sports.

“The Big Ten Network was an awesome idea,” Pollard said.

“I was there at Wisconsin when it happened, it was a new frontier and they made a lot of money. But how they did it was they gave up all their rights.”

Iowa State has taken advantage of owning its right with Cyclones.tv, an online pay-towatch channel. The site will culminate Saturday when the Northern Iowa game officially launches Cyclones.tv onto Mediacom.

The new channel will extend Iowa State’s footprint into 500,000

great leader to follow behind,” Hudson said. “I’ve had lots of talks with her. She’s told me her experiences and she’s just a great person to follow.”

Although Goetz won’t be the starting setter this season, Johnson-Lynch liked what she saw out of her in the preseason.

“She played a pretty limited role the first two years,” Johnson-Lynch said. “She actually quit the team last spring and decided to rejoin us, and she’s surprised me.

She’s really doing a nice job.”

Goetz said she and Hudson have been very supportive of each other since they started practice.

“We’re just working with each other day in and day out, just figuring out how we can make each other better,” Goetz said. “I think competition is always a positive thing for teams.”

Since Goetz came back, JohnsonLynch said they have talked about the leadership opportunities that have been presented for her.

“This team, because it’s a little bit younger, needs a couple of veteran players to really shine and show some leadership,” Johnson-Lynch said. “No matter what happens, whether she’s starting, or a role player or whatever, I was really excited about

homes across the state.

The channel will be available on Mediacom channel 165 in standard definition and 798 in high definition.

“It gives us a platform that others don’t have,” Pollard said.

Big 12 content with 10 When Missouri and Texas A&M announced their departures from the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference in 2011, the conference appeared to be in danger of collapsing.

Rumors spread of other Big 12 institutions bolting, and many wondered where Iowa State might end up.

“You think about the cliff we were looking at three years ago, and going, ‘Are we going to get pushed off this cliff?’” Pollard said.

“It’s pretty neat to think this is how it turned out.”

The Big 12 added West Virginia and Texas Christian to return to 10 institutions. That is a number the conference is happy with.

“We’re in pretty good shape right now in terms of morale, direction, and vision,” Leath said of the conference. “I’m not saying we’ll never expand, but right now there’s not a great motivation.”

her chance to show some leadership.”

Johnson-Lynch is also more than comfortable with Goetz on the floor when Hudson is out.

“I feel really good about that fact that if we should need her to come in and play, she will do a great job,” Johnson-Lynch said.

The next upgrade that lingers is what Pollard refers to as the Gateway Project. He laughs as he looks out to the south endzone, which fans have clamored to see bowled in.

“If we could afford it, yeah, we could do seating,” Pollard said. “But if we do that, we may be stuck. We put in more seating, we have to address where all those people are going to park, what are we doing to Reiman Gardens, what are we doing with the entrance to campus?”

Pollard would love to see the project move forward, but he knows it is about more than bowling in an end zone. Leath said he thinks the project will eventually happen, mentioning the current low interest rates.

“If you’re going to do a project like that, you’d rather do it when you can get the money cheaply,” Leath said. “So we are looking very seriously as what the plans would be over the next couple of years.”

As has been learned with the growth of the entire athletic department, things take time. The common goal is to get it right the first time.

“We don’t want to do this twice,” Leath said. “It’s going to be a very big, expensive project. You want to get it right.”

been on a Big 12 meeting agenda in the last year.

While some conferences have gotten bigger, such as the Big Ten with 14 teams, Pollard likes that Iowa State is able to play every team in the conference.

“To me it’s mind-boggling that Iowa is going to play a football schedule (next) year and they’re not playing Penn State, Ohio State or Michigan,” Pollard said. “That just doesn’t seem right.”

“What I do know in our league is, whoever is representing us in the [Bowl Championship Series] will have played everybody. And our fans will get to see everybody.”

Facilities highlight rise, Gateway Project lingers There is a drawer in Pollard’s desk where he keeps all of the new facility presentations from his tenure.

In the last eight years, Iowa State has spent more than $100 million on facilities such as the Bergstrom Football and Sukup Basketball Complexes. Last year the Cyclones Sports Complex opened and includes new track, soccer and softball facilities.

“We’ve come a long ways,” Pollard said. “When I try to remember them all, I usually end up forgetting some.”

>>NCAA p8 to attend some regional compliance seminars and training. I don’t know if suspensions will happen; it wouldn’t surprise me.

“There’s really no rhyme or reason.”

Ridpath said he can’t be certain but would be very surprised if the punishment results in the loss of athletic scholarships.

He also said the athletic department’s proactive approach might help its cause when a penalty is handed down.

Iowa State appears to have knowledge of its punishment but is still waiting for a final decision from the NCAA Committee on Infractions.

“We have a very clear idea of what the penalties are, we’ve basically agreed to them,” said ISU President Steven Leath.

“We’re cautiously optimistic they won’t change.”

Leath said it is impossible to know if that committee will agree with the penalties Iowa State feels might come.

>>LEGACY p 1 “I know a lot of [residents] like the fact that they have the apartment-style living that you would get in [Frederiksen Court] without living that far away from campus,” said Adam Kaas, senior in electrical engineering and one of 12 community advisers at Legacy.

Legacy residence is offered at the Frederiksen Court rates for private occupancy, which ranges from $5,257 per year for a four-bedroom apartment to $6,424 per year for a two-bedroom apartment.

This housing option offers a higher than average resident to CA ratio, approximately 1 to 25, in addition to other unique aspects.

The space previously known as the Legend’s restaurant has been remodeled into one of two major community spaces for students.

In addition to remodeling that area, more than 3,000 new pieces of furniture were added throughout the building. Residents also have access to the Resort, which includes workout facilities, pool and hot tub.

Iowa State has signed a one-year lease for space in Legacy, including office space on the second floor and the entire fourth through seventh floors.

“There are a few private tenants that are in the building. … There’s three different kind of business ventures that are in there apart from us,” said Peter Englin, director of DOR. The leasing contract Iowa State signed runs from Aug. 1 to July 31.

The building historically has been operated mainly as a student living environment, Englin said.

“It was not a situation where the department of residence asked anyone to leave. We were looking for leasing opportunities and the Campustown properties folks were able to work with us and [were] able to offer us the space, and then ... they worked with those students to relocate them,” said Carolyn Duven, residence hall coordinator of Legacy, referring to students already living in the building.

The building is owned by American Campus Communities and is occupied mostly by returning students, Duven said.

“We did not assign any ... direct-from-high-school, 18-year-old freshmen to Maricopa or Legacy,” Englin said.

Maricopa is where Iowa State leased the rest of its offcampus living spaces, Englin said.

The units, which include 204 beds, are located in West Ames.

“There isn’t the kind of community space available there,” Englin said. “It really is just apartments.”

The DOR is looking into building a residence hall in order to accommodate the growing student population.

“Our goal is certainly to serve every student who wants to live on campus,” Englin said. “But if we were to do a residence hall kind of build, you’re minimally looking at a two-year process to do that. It’s a much more expensive process; it takes longer to build; it’s a long-term commitment in order to operate it.

“And so what you’re also trying to gauge is: How long will the demand for on-campus housing exist?”

Englin said, he expects a decision on whether or not to build additional residence hall space to be made within the next year.

“The planning that we’re currently looking at is: Should we add residence hall space, and if we did, what would it look like? And then, how do you best pay for it so

>>HOUSING p 1 “It’s a good news, bad news story,” said Tom Hill, senior vice president for Student Affairs. “There’s respect, concern and care for our students in our oncampus living. We don’t want to kick students to the curb.”

Currently, the DOR has reported they have 11,300 contracts, a record number, and are at capacity but over the permanent facility capacity. The DOR has 7,459 students living in the residence halls and 3,850 living in campus apartments. The university has leased room for 503 beds from Legacy Towers and Maricopa apartments to help support the growing number.

“We were surprised at how we had an increase [of 7.2 percent] in returners from last year; more people want to stay here,” Englin said. “This is a huge compliment to us: Students are choosing to stay on campus in larger numbers.”

Englin pointed out that part of the DOR’s incentive was to make sure there was room for the incoming freshman class in the residence halls.

He also said having the freshman in the residence halls is crucial to their experience at Iowa State and that living in them is more beneficial to the students than living in apartments their first year.

The idea of building new facilities on campus has been thrown around as a possible solution for the growing number of students living in on-campus housing, but the future, some say, is not predictable yet at this point.

“We would have to perform a balancing act,” Hill said. “What if we had a drop in enrollment? We do not want those excess buildings sitting empty.

Housing facts

“I know a lot of [residents] like the fact that they have the apartment-style living that you would get in [Frederiksen Court] without living that far away from campus.

Adam Kaas, senior in electrical engineering

it’s still of good value to students?” Englin said. “So that’s what we’re in the process of now is looking at potentially adding some residence hall spaces.”

The Inter-Residence Hall Association will be based on some of the student input the DOR receives on the matter.

“We want to get their thinking on some of this too,” Englin said. “Our desire is always to things with students, not to them.”

Students living in Legacy are mostly returning students, but among them are also approximately 30 transfer students and five 19 year old freshmen.

President Steven Leath will be meeting with Legacy residents on Aug. 26 at 3 p.m.

DOR has added a total of 720 beds at Frederiksen Court, only 240 of which are available this semester. The rest will be available in January.

Englin stated that in the past Legacy has had a reputation of being a place to party. “It shouldn’t have that reputation under our leadership,” Englin said.

12 community advisers were hired for Legacy, as well as eight for Maricopa.

Our decisions aren’t meant for the immediate time, we have to look more long term.”

Englin said the university is looking into the possibility of building new beds in the future but have to question whether they will cash flow.

Englin sees an increase in off-campus apartments as a much needed option to help support the student growth.

“We may not have the solution today, but we will find a way to help students succeed,” Englin said.

“Everybody is working on this from all angles.”
