CAMPUSTOWN REVISION Kingland Systems plans changes to Ames neighborhood

By Katelynn.McCollough @iowastatedaily.com A portion of the face of Campustown is headed for change.

Kingland Systems, a software and services company, bought nine buildings in Campustown in December 2012 and is looking to demolish buildings from Charlie Yoke’s up to Cranford Apartments.

Jeff’s Pizza is not included in the demolition plans.

The 7 p.m. City Council meeting on Tuesday will decide on modifying a stepback requirement on the new building design, as well as a possible tax incentive for the project.

Jason Crimmins, owner of Charlie Yoke’s with Mike Roberts, said that they have not yet been given a concrete date of when they will need to leave their current location.

While a new location for Charlie Yoke’s has yet to be finalized, Crimmins said the restaurant and bar wants to stay in the Campustown area.

“We have been aggressively pursuing other properties” Crimmins said.

The most recent plans for Kingland’s

redevelopment project show a three-story, 75,000 square foot building.

Campustown Action Association and Iowa State are showing support for the project.

Kimberly Hanna, director of Campustown Action Association, said in an email that Campustown has been noted as an area for redevelopment.

“Like all business districts, Campustown has to evolve and change as customer demands evolve and change,” Hanna said. “Campustown is the home of many small and independent business owners and independent franchise owners, and we want to maintain that, while [also] being aware of what the needs of the community are and will be five or 10 years from now.”

We’ve indicated an interest in potentially leasing the top floor of the project as they are currently planning it,” said Warren Madden, who is hoping to use the space for university offices.

At the same time, Spencer Hughes, president of GSB, sent a letter to the Ames City Council on Sunday requesting that the council delay action on the agenda items dealing with the Kingland project in order to give students more time to

voice their opinions on the changes.

Alexandria Harvey, student liaison to the City Council, agreed: “I’m against students not having the chance to voice their opinion. ... That area is where students go.”

Harvey explained that students could offer their opinion by attending the council meeting, by talking with council members at WelcomeFest on Wednesday, or by emailing a council member.

Kingland Systems plans to use the second floor for its own office space, with the street level fronts being used as retail spaces available for rent.

Todd Rognes, president of Kingland Systems, said he could not confirm the types of retail firms they are looking to fill in the first floor spaces. Rognes did say the company had “had discussions with large retail firms.”

Rognes said Kingland Systems is open to explaining the vision for the new project with students.

A Facebook page called “Save Campustown” popped up on Sunday, Aug. 25.

College of Agriculture sees record student enrollment Registration sets record for second year in a row

Thomas Hill, senior vice president of Student Affairs, hands out apples to welcome new students to campus in front of Parks Library.

Goals reviewed by Leath

By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com With the new academic year underway, goals set by ISU President Steven Leath in 2012 are being checked for progress.

An objective to raise $100 million for the university overall between July 2012 and July 2013 was exceeded with $112 million to $113 million raised last year.

“I promised to raise $150 million for student scholarships,” Leath said. “We

promised to do that in the next five years.”

To meet that goal, the university would need to raise $30 million each year.

“I was pleased in the first year we raised about $55 million. We’re way ahead of our schedule,” Leath said. “That doesn’t mean that if we reach $150 million we’re going to quit.”

A January 2014 deadline of adding 200 faculty members within two years to keep the student ratio from “going wacko,” as Leath put it, is close with 140 hired.

GOALS p 3 >>

Expectations are high in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences this year, with the college anticipating approximately 4,000 undergraduate students for the fall of 2013.

The past two years have trumped the last undergraduate enrollment record set back in the fall of 1977, which had 3,623.

The fall of 2012 set the current official record with 3,900 undergraduates.

The number of graduate students is expected to rise, too. This fall, nearly 700 graduates are expected to enroll, compared to 655 graduate students in 2012.

With enrollment falling between 1977 and 2012, the most prominent cause was the farm crisis in the 1980s that put a financial crunch on the Midwest. Since most students in the College of Agriculture are Iowans, the decline in enrollment parallels the farm crisis.

However, enrollment soon picked up again, leading a slow and steady incline

and producing the numbers seen in 2012.

“Enrollment started to climb in the late 1980s and into the 1990s,” said Wendy Wintersteen, dean of the College of Agriculture, in an email. “Our undergraduate enrollment has increased nearly 60 percent from 2005 to 2012.

The college also has made efforts to increase enrollment by advertising its benefits more extensively to potential students and their families. During the recruitment process, potential students can more readily determine their majors with the information provided before enrollment.

The college also has used social media to provide information for a large base of students, faculty, alumni and potential students.

The college currently offers 25 majors, allowing more career opportunities after attaining a degree by combining traditional programs into newer ones.

“I think we’ve been able to maintain our brand and maybe do some re-branding,” said Joe Colletti, senior associate dean of the college. “[Students] don’t have to just go back to the farm.”

The college is also instilling its stu-

Equality Day celebrates women’s right to vote Day commemorates anniversary of 19th Amendment

By Michelle.Schoening @iowastatedaily.com More than 35 students went to the Plaza of Heroines at Catt Hall on Monday to celebrate Women’s Equality Day and were able to register to vote.

The day celebrates the 1920 passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which granted women the right to vote.

The celebration — established in 1971 by Congress at the hands of Rep. Bella Abzug — also calls attention to women’s continuous efforts toward equality.

Leaders from the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics, League of Women Voters of Ames and the Margaret Sloss Women’s Center joined forces to bring awareness of Women’s Equality Day and registering students, both women and men, to vote.

“We want them to register to vote and understand the importance of voting and then the events that are coming up,” said Linda Murken, president of the League of Women Voters of Ames. “The LWV started with a goal of educating voters.”

“People have marched, been jailed and have died to get everybody the right to vote. … It is very easy to take for granted.”

Kristine Keil, public relations and student programs coordinator for the Center for Women and Politics, led the organization of the event.

“We want students to know it is important to vote,” Keil said. “It hasn’t always been that way.”

Voting rights constantly are being changed.

“Section 5 of the Voter’s Right Act passed in 1964 — the Supreme Court just struck that down, and

Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily

Emily Maharry, a junior in family and consumer science, registers to vote in Story County with the help of Bev Kruempel and Linda Murken, the current president of the League of Women Voters of Ames. More than 35 students registered to vote.

Congress needs to act to update that so it can pass constitutional musters so we have protection,” Murken said.

Women’s Equality Day is not only a day for the celebration of equality but also the celebration of voting rights.

After Section 5 of the Voter’s Right Act was struck down, some states tried to pass voter ID laws that were in violation of the law before the Supreme Court decision was made.

“The newly passed ID laws make it more difficult for disabled and older people to register to vote,” Murken said. “Not everybody has a driver’s license and some places you have to drive hours to go get records, which you have to pay for, that you need to get a voter ID.” General Election Day is Nov. 5.

Carver internship brings diverse class to Ames

By Ryan.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com Students from all over the country came to Iowa State during the summer to gain hands-on experience through the George Washington Carver internship program.

“The George Washington Carver internship has a ‘science with practice’ motto,” said Theressa Cooper, assistant professor for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

“We bring in interns from all across the US to experience research with faculty members in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.”

This eight-week program for non-ISU undergraduate students is designed to teach students in a hands-on environment.

“We want to expose students to the opportunities we have here at Iowa State,” Cooper said.

According to the diversity and multicultural programs at Iowa State, the purpose of the program is to promote an environment where students gain valuable research experience that assists them in making future education and career

decisions.

The program requires the interns to work 40 hours per week, write a research paper, attend all research activities, submit a professional portfolio and maintain a daily journal of activities that are specific to his or her field of choice.

“Since the first day we have been doing projects on our own,” said Ellen Tisdale, an intern from Austin, Texas. “We are almost completely self-sufficient in the lab.”

Academic areas include, but are not limited to: environmental issues, genetics, journalism projects, cancer genes, honeybees, soil work, and other agricultural and life science activities.

“I’m actually out there getting experience, getting training from great professors who are at the top of their field who are very, very humble about what they do,” said Jamilah Page, an intern from Birmingham, Ala. In order to spread the word of the internship program, ISU representatives travel to college fairs and conferences to inform about this educational program, which has brought a diverse group

of students to participate and grow in science.

This year was the largest internship class with 34 students — 23 of them being female.

“Its an opportunity for us to bring diverse populations of people here. Its not a black and white issue; it’s a gender issue,” Cooper said.

“The majority of the students here were female.”

Cooper said they were very proud of the female presence they brought this summer.

The internship program inspires students to do what Carver did; research and experiment to learn.

According to his biography, George Washington Carver was a scientist and inventor.

He was most known for using the peanut, creating more than 100 peanut products.

in the restrooms, radiant floor heating, and the recycling of original building materials have given Curtiss Hall an edge on efficiency.

The materials used in the renovations are at least 97 percent recycled.

Planning for the $14.4 million Phase One project began in 2006, and construction began in early 2011. The project was planned to take four to five years to complete, but, if its current schedule holds, the building will have taken less than three years to complete.

Funding for Phase One came from a variety of places.

Approximately $9 million was privately gifted by more than 100 donors. The other $5.4 million came from a balance of college and university funds.

An old campus landmark is about to be reopened after a long renovation project.

The construction in Curtiss Hall is scheduled to be finished in early September, with a target date of Tuesday, Sept. 3.

Referenced as Curtiss Hall: Phase One, the construction project includes five parts: development of a student services wing, window replacements in the main part of the building, installation of a sprinkler system, miscellaneous remodeling and the Harl Commons. Both the miscellaneous remodel and Harl Commons are still under construction.

“The college had this desire to create a commons area for the students within the college to enjoy,” said Kerry Dixon, a facilities project manager for Facilities Planning and Management. “It’ll really be a unique space when it gets done and ready to open.”

Adding a comfortable touch to Curtiss Hall is the $5 million Harl Commons in the basement, which will now have an entrance from the back of the building. It will have a small, grab-and-go eatery called the Global Cafe,

now to next.

computer stations, a lounge area, earth tones on the walls and a conference room for students.

Overlooking the commons are several office suites.

The Harl Commons also will offer a space for campus events such as award ceremonies and the college convocation on Monday, Sept. 10. It will also provide space for informal discussions and professional societal meetings.

“Students in our college will have a place they can call ‘home’ on campus,” said David Acker, associate dean for academic and global programs in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

“We are excited that the renovation will help us better serve students, enrich their education and make their experience on campus one they’ll remember their whole lives.”

The dedication of the Harl Commons will be at 3 p.m.

Tuesday, Oct. 1.

“The original hope was that the Harl Commons would be open by [the start of classes],” said Joe Colletti, senior associate dean for the College of Agriculture. “We firmly believe that we’d rather err on the side of quality and have safety first for students.”

Included in the miscellaneous remodel of Curtiss Hall are basic renovations such as fresh paint, additional restrooms throughout the building, replacement of elevators and stairwell

Iowa State Daily

‘Educational’ television fails to educate

By Ian.Timberlake @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State Daily

GSB senators listen to questions and concerns on March 13 in the Memorial Union.

GSB shoots for transparency with deficit The much anticipated start of a new school year rarely begins as fluidly as desired.

Such was the case for Iowa State’s Government of the Student Body. Current GSB President Spencer Hughes — just days before the beginning of the fall semester — discovered a $102,000 deficit in one of GSB’s most important accounts, the capital projects fund.

How could such an account fall so far into the red without even the president of GSB knowing?

An inaccurate enrollment count was used for GSB’s 2013 fiscal year, resulting in the organization collecting less money from each student. The difference in money collected per person was insignificant, but amounted to the $102,000 deficit when all students were included.

GSB has a plan for taking care of this enormous deficit by using the funds from one of the less frequently used accounts — formally called an investment account but in actuality a “rainy day” fund — which contains approximately $105,000.

The debt can’t be covered yet, as the decision to move the funds requires a two-thirds vote from the GSB Senate. However, Hughes said he feels confident GSB will have no problem settling this affair.

The capital projects fund normally is used for physical items open for all students to use.

Though GSB had no specific plan for the account this year, it is a major loss. The account, which reclaims money not spent during its intended year, brought in $88,000 and $100,000 the last two years respectively.

The $105,000 currently in the rainy day fund is a result of the sale of GSB vehicles.

Previously, GSB had needed its own fleet of vehicles, but once the university adopted the policy of letting student organizations borrow cars, those vehicles were sold. Since then, the account has remained relatively untouched with the exception of some expenditure toward Cyclone Cinema and various projects with the Student Union Board.

Regardless of what the money from the rainy day account could have been spent on, it is now gone. Possibly the worst outcome of the mistake is that the reserve account is now empty. Even without a proposed project on which to spend that money, its absence might endanger GSB financially should another problem arise.

Though being informed of the deficit so late was difficult for GSB leaders, Hughes was quick to notify the Daily of the issue so that all students could be informed.

It’s a move that shows Hughes’s dedication to transparency.

Hughes has expressed his desire for the actions of the GSB to become fully transparent to students and campus organizations.

“They’re not GSB dollars; they’re students’ dollars, so it’s important that people know about it,” Hughes said.

The vast majority of money GSB collects goes toward funding student organizations on campus. Additionally, GSB uses some money on helpful things such as the bike pump stations that can now be found around campus.

No matter what organization or project student fees go toward, all of GSB’s actions need to be apparent to students in order for them to make informed decisions.

The Government of the Student Body has an obligation of transparency and so, too, do students have an obligation to be aware of what’s happening with their hard-earned dollars. Taking steps toward transparency and openness will only improve the relationship between students and their government, leading to a more efficient use of student fees.

Not many people know that TLC was created in 1972 by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare along with NASA and was distributed for free via NASA satellites. Several years after its founding, in 1980, the channel was privatized but continued its devotion to educational documentaries. In the late 1990s, TLC took a turn for the worse, and now there isn’t a single educational program running. Discovery Channel and History Channel have a few programs that could be considered educational, but they are few and far between.

In June 2011, I put my TV on the top shelf of my closet, and it stayed there until about three weeks ago when I moved into a new apartment. In all likelihood it will go back up into my closet. There isn’t anything of value on TV anymore outside of a handful of entertaining fictional

shows that can all be found online. News programs are becoming ever more biased, and sports networks are more or less irrelevant unless you’re catching a high stakes game.

Discovery and TLC are owned by Discovery Communications which owns smaller channels like Animal Planet, Science and Military History. These networks are not nearly as commonplace, but they contain highly educational material. The unique thing about these three channels is they were born out of moving them from Discovery, TLC and The History Channel (which is owned

by Disney) to make room for the “reality” television shows that fill the current time slots.

Out of simple protest, I’m not giving these networks my time or money until they start living up to their supposed directives. I suggest you remove yourself from mindless television shows populating these major channels. You can count on me mailing this to the owners of these major networks — it’s just one more thing making our society and our daily lives more dramatic and less intelligent.

Columnist Kristen Daily encourages students to avoid misconceptions when approaching debates dealing with small-scale, organic farming and large-scale meat industry farming and the ironic intersection with agricultural practices developed by Iowa State.

Keep mind open in ag debates Iowa State’s roots are founded in agriculture. In the 1850s, the university began as the State Agricultural College and Model Farm, from which many agricultural discoveries and practices have evolved. Today the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has 15 different departments dedicated to the many aspects of agriculture. What makes Iowa State so interesting is the growth and evolution of agricultural studies here mirrors changes in the agricultural industry of the United States.

In the history of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences it is noted that: “The college is founded on the ideals that higher education should be accessible to all and should teach liberal and practical subjects, ideals that are integral to all landgrant universities.”

While Iowa State has accomplished these goals, we are a uni-

By Kristen.Daily @iowastatedaily.com versity who offers a wide variety of “liberal and practical subjects,” I have found that we have also made barriers in our divisions created by majors and studies.

As I previously said, agricultural studies and practices developed at Iowa State have often mirrored industrial agricultural practices in the country. For example, many pesticides and genetically modified crops were created and introduced into the industry by people at Iowa State. In today’s practices divisions have arisen between those who believe in largescale farming and those who support a return to small-scale, local and organic agriculture.

In my experiences speaking to students in agriculture, these dichoto-

mies are evident. On the one hand, there are agricultural studies that promote a large-scale meat industry, GMOs, the development of pesticides and a monoculture model for agricultural practices in the United States.

On the other hand, there are also studies devoted to sustainable agriculture, organic and small-scale practices, and stewardship of the environment. I am not here to argue about which agricultural practices are correct, though I most certainly support small-scale, local and organic agriculture.

What I do want to emphasize is the necessity for communication between these groups that hold opposing beliefs about agriculture. As students at Iowa State, we are in the heartland of farm country. We see the products of our industrial innovations

Misunderstandings surround foster care Parents perceive the system as insult to child-rearing capabilities

By Claire.Yetley @iowastatedaily.com This summer, my internship allowed me to work with families that have a Child In Need of Assistance case or a delinquency case. I learned a lot this summer, but the generally negative attitude toward foster care really irritated me. People use foster care as a scapegoat for the traumatic times their families goes through.

I knew about this general dislike before starting this internship, but that was because most people I interact with have not been through the foster care system and are unaware of what foster care is really like.

Recently, in court, a woman with grandchildren in foster care said to me, “God forbid they go to foster care.”

This might have been acceptable if a family member were a safe placement for the child, but that was not the case.

The state always looks to place the child with family first, mainly because family is more familiar to the child and less traumatic. It is also generally easier for the children because the family has more background knowledge of the child.

Foster care is not bad. It’s like a time-out for families.

Think of it as an extended babysitter for the children.

Many parents qualify their dislike of foster care by making their concern about their children: “Oh, my child will never be in foster care.” What this statement really says is this parent believes they are a good parent and only children with bad parents go to foster care.

Any child could go to foster care; any parent can make a mistake, this doesn’t make someone a bad parent.

There’s this strange myth that seems to float around that parenting is completely instinctual, and if someone is a bad parent, he or she is somehow a bad person. That’s completely not true, anyone can mess up. The hard part is fixing whatever mistake the parent made. Foster care gives the parent the opportunity to fix his or her mistake — and holds them accountable to not make it again.

There’s this other lovely myth that foster parents are only in the “business” to collect a check each month.

Foster parents are compensated each month, but the

>>AGRICULTURE p4 in the fields, slaughter houses and feed lots that surround us. We cannot ignore that we are a part of the agricultural industry whether we study it or not, we are all consumers of the industry.

In a column I published last year, “What responsibilities do writers have in food politics?” one reader told me that I had no right to be writing about issues related to the food industry simply because I was not studying animal science or agriculture. Apparently, this meant I had no authority on the subject.

I understand that I do not have the same understanding or perspective on the inner-workings of a farm or raising crops and livestock, but I do have access to

amount of money they receive is nowhere close to covering the expense that it takes to care for a child. The check is more or less like a small thank-you gift to these parents for covering all other expenses.

Depending on how long the children are with the foster parents, they might have to cover the cost of new clothes, school supplies and after-school activities — not to mention the bare minimum of feeding the children and driving them to and from visitations and appointments. Many foster parents are also parents themselves, so one would hope that the family would include the foster child family vacations or taking the family out for dinner.

Not only is it a fiscal burden to be a foster parent, it’s a strange relationship to foster. There is a child living in the home of a foster parent, being treated and cared for like any other of their biological children, but the foster parents have to ask Department of Human Services if they can drive out of the county. The foster parents have to contact the Human Services to ask the biological parents if they can take the foster child to the doctor, something any other parent would just be able to call and make an appointment for. There are so many more steps that foster parents have to make in order to provide for their foster child.

Most foster parents work, just like other parents.

There was a woman I worked with who was just shocked her children had to go to daycare while they were in foster care. She was a stay-at-home mom and was appalled her children were in foster care, but there is nothing wrong with daycare if someone needs to work to support their family.

Foster care gets a bad reputation, but it’s a much better solution than orphanages or holding children in jail cells while their parents figure things out. It’s similar to most volunteer work; there are boring jobs, dirty jobs or really annoying jobs, but the good it provides for the community outweighs whatever nuisance someone is putting up with to get the job done.

It is somewhat understandable if parents are complaining about foster care; they are projecting their problems onto someone else. This still is not acceptable and unfortunately fairly common. When a person who has no involvement with the foster care system hears the complaints of these parents, the misunderstanding perpetuates foster care’s bad reputation.

books and other means of education — all students do.

We have to remember that issues in agriculture, like any other issue, involve educated arguments and are made complex by moral consequences of some industrial practices.

When I was told I had no authority on the subject by this particular student, he did not drop the conversation there, which I was initially thankful for. We had the chance to share our backgrounds and beliefs on the subject, though unfortunately, we did not get to meet and discuss some the issues that were raised. I believe open discussions like this are necessary for improvement.

It is vital that we do not close our minds to each others’ beliefs about the farm and food industry in the United States. We all have a lot to learn from each other,

While many people bemoan foster care, living with family, whether biological or foster, is better for a child’s emotional well-being than any other viable alternative.

whether we are animal science students or majors in the humanities. We all play a role in the industry as consumers, so it is important we be educated ones. Perhaps this means that we have open discussions in the classroom about food issues; it may also mean talking to your friends around the dinner table.

However we decide to engage ourselves in these discussions, we must do so with respect and trust. This type of open dialogue provides real hope for the future of the agricultural industry in our country. And yes, it may be ironic that we have such opposition in a place where we are surrounded by the industry, but this makes Iowa State all the more interesting and necessary to open the door to ever-changing perspectives about agriculture and the food industry.

NEW LEADERS RACE TO AMES

Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily

Martin Smith is beginning his first year as Iowa State’s director of men’s and women’s track and cross-country, replacing Corey Ihmels. Smith previously coached at University of Oklahoma.

Two coaches bring new expertise to cross-country, track and field

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com

W

hen the men’s and women’s cross-country teams hit the course this fall, they will be doing so under new leadership.

This season marks the first at Iowa State for Martin Smith, now the director of track and field and crosscountry. It is also the first season at Iowa State for Andrea Grove-McDonough, who is the new head coach of the women’s cross-country team.

The changes come after previous coach Corey Ihmels left in June to coach track and field and crosscountry at Boise State.

“It just kind of felt right,” Smith said of his move to Iowa State. “It seemed like the right thing for me to do at this point in my career, so I just did it.”

Smith was the head coach for track and field and cross-country at Oklahoma. He joined the Sooners’ staff in 2005 and was named Big 12 Coach of the Year twice.

“I think it speaks volumes to where Iowa State is as an athletics program that we could attract a five-time national championship coach. We don’t hire any coaches like that around here — we haven’t historically,” said ISU Athletic Director Jamie Pollard. “The fact that we were able to hire someone with his credentials was a big coup for us, but I think it speaks volumes about where Iowa State is both as an institution and also where our track programs are.”

When Pollard learned of Ihmels’ departure, he wasted no time looking for a new coach. Within about 30 minutes, Pollard had convinced Smith to meet with him about the job.

“I interviewed for the job on a Friday, and I accepted the job the next day. I have yet to even go back to

Oklahoma,” Smith said. “It was a very different, very fast process, but it was a natural fit for me.”

Once Smith had settled into his new position, he turned to the women’s program and hired GroveMcDonough as its head coach.

Grove-McDonough came to Ames from the University of Connecticut, where she was the head coach for five seasons. By the time she left, she had transformed UConn — a team that was once in the bottom half of the Big East Conference — into a nationally ranked and respected program.

“I had been well aware of her work for a while now and because of her work at UConn, her profile has been sort of amplified,” Smith said. “She basically made something out of almost nothing. That shows a lot of skill, and it was a strong indicator that she was a very special coach.”

Grove-McDonough took several factors into account after applying for the job, but knew very quickly after visiting that Iowa State was a good fit for her.

“I wasn’t looking to leave UConn by any means,” Grove-McDonough said. “But I came to visit with my husband, and within 24 hours, we had fallen in love with the town. It’s such a great community and a great place for us to raise a family and put down roots. That’s what really brought us here.”

Both the men and women’s teams kick off their seasons on Friday at the Bulldog 4K Classic in Des Moines.

While this meet isn’t a top meet for either team, it still brings a lot of excitement.

“It’s kind of my first chance to really represent Iowa State for the first time,” Grove-McDonough said. “I get to kind of shed the image of UConn. It’s more symbolic to me than anything, and that’s pretty cool.”

Rogers’ size and ability threatens opposing teams

By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com Charlie Rogers doesn’t feel cautious when going for a tackle, despite recently implemented targeting rules.

“If you play with a cautious mindset, I don’t think you’ll get everything you can get,” Rogers said.

But what if a receiver lowers his head?

“I’ll just get lower,” Rogers said with a laugh.

The redshirt freshman defensive back from Iowa City, Iowa, is No. 1 on the depth chart at left side cornerback heading into Iowa State’s season-opener Saturday against the University of Northern Iowa at Jack Trice Stadium.

Rogers, at 6’1”, is one of the two tallest starters in the ISU secondary, which is something that has allowed to him to play more physically. Perhaps the biggest lesson for Rogers throughout fall camp has been “to play under the pads.”

“That’s what we’ve got to keep emphasizing with Charlie,” said secondary coach Troy Douglas. “When you get a tall corner like that, the tendency is to play high. He’s got to play with a low pad level, but other than that, he’s been doing fine.”

In addition to playing cornerback, Rogers has been taking reps at the nickel back position. Douglas feels that Rogers’ versatility in the secondary will make him more “multi-dimensional.”

Rogers, who played quarterback at Iowa City West, said the mindset he approaches each position with doesn’t change. The physical nature he brings to the secondary doesn’t change no matter where he is, but Rogers thinks he can be even more hard-nosed.

“If I’m at nickel, I know what the corner is doing because I play that position,” Rogers said. “When I’m at corner, I know what the nickel is doing and which zone I’m supposed to be in or when the nickel is coming to help

out.”

Coach Paul Rhoads has taken notice of Rogers’ improvement, too. Rhoads said Rogers was able to maintain his position atop the depth chart by improving his game overall and his knowledge among the secondary by taking reps at two positions.

“With that long frame, he’s adapted to the different coverages that he has to excel at: deep, man, underneath,” Rhoads said of Rogers. “He’s a more physical player, and I

think he’s improved his tackling ability, so he’s continued to grow much as we anticipated.”

Playing next to Rogers in the secondary at strong safety is redshirt senior Deon Broomfield, who is No. 1 on the depth chart. Broomfield has noticed most Rogers’ consistency as a nickel back and cornerback.

“What he has is size and can come up and hit you,” Broomfield said. “Day in and day out, he’s consistent and likes to learn. He’s coachable, which makes it a lot easier.”

Team stays hopeful after last place vote

By Beau.Berkley @iowastatedaily.com Being picked to finish last in the Big 12 is not ideal, but ISU coach Wendy Dillinger and her players are not paying attention to that.

After a 10-10 season in 2012 that ended with threestraight losses, the soccer team was voted last in the Big 12 preseason polls this season and didn’t have any players voted to the preseason All-Big 12 team. However, the team is keeping its ears closed and focusing on what is in front of it.

“We haven’t really talked much about it this year,” Dillinger said. “We’re more focused on what we’re doing and we know that with what we’re doing right now and the way we’re training, we’re not really concerned about what other people are saying. We are out here every day and are certainly aware of what we’re capable of, so we’re focused more on our capabilities.”

Last season, the soccer team dropped six games by just one goal, four of which came against top-20 opponents.

Dillinger said this year’s team has the ability to be on the other end of games that finish with a 2-1 score.

“I think with those one goal swings, we’re good for an-

other two, three goals with this group,” Dillinger said. “I also think our defensive group is going to be that much stronger and more solid and stable this year. We’re not going to be giving up as many looks, so we’re not going to be giving many quality chances to opponents and giving them opportunities to score” Commanding the defensive group is senior goalie Maddie Jobe. A three-year starter, Jobe recorded 74 saves last season and, in 2011, made school history as she finished with a .79 goal-against average.

Jobe said the team’s success this year will be dependent on its attention to detail, and if that happens, the team’s true potential will break through.

“I honestly think that we are one of the best teams,” Jobe said. “It may not show recordwise and in the end that is ultimately the end product, but we definitely have room for improvement, and I think if we can just put small things together we can beat the teams that we’d lose to 2-1 or 1-0.”

The soccer team will also have to work with a tight home schedule. The team plays seven home games this year, two less than last season.

The first home game of the season begins 8 p.m.

Tuesday against Western Illinois University.

Cyclone volleyball team takes shape as opener approaches

By Dan.Cole @iowastatedaily.com

In terms of solidified spots, the Cyclones’ leaders have shown they’re ready for the season to start.

“Victoria Hurtt I think made a pretty good statement [on Saturday],” Johnson-Lynch said. “She’s going to be one of our go-tos. She hit really well on the night and I thought got better as the night went on.

“Tenisha Matlock has had a terrific preseason and she showed that I think in the scrimmage, as well.”

Hurtt and Matlock are two of the team’s four upperclassmen, along with junior setter Taylor Goetz and two-time defending Big 12 Libero of the Year, Kristen Hahn. Both Hahn and Hurtt are returning All-Americans and both got the chance to participate in USA Volleyball programs during the summer.

“I feel like I’m a lot better starting out this year than I was last year,” Hurtt said. “Going to USA [Volleyball] was one of the main things, and just working all the way through the summer, not just toward the end. That really benefited me.”

The Cyclone volleyball season begins this weekend with three matches at the UND Classic.

With just a few days remaining until its first official competition of the season, the No. 15 ISU volleyball team is entering its final week of preseason training.

The young Cyclone squad, currently including just four upperclassmen, gave a glimpse of how things would go this season during the annual Cardinal and Gold Scrimmage on Saturday.

ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch is pleased with how her team performed but knows things need to improve heading into this weekend, especially in the areas of distribution, attacking decisions and reducing errors — which can be tough with such a young team.

“Once you go back and watch film you think, ‘Maybe I’m not quite so happy with how things went,’” Johnson-Lynch said in a news conference Monday. “Young players, it takes them a while to learn how to attack versus a big block. What to do in certain situations.”

At this stage of the year, the primary rotation of players is typically set, but the Cyclones likely will do some experimenting in the early season to see what works best given their young, inexperienced players.

Among the spots that are still up Leaps, Turns, Tricks & Stunts for grabs is the second outside hitter spot behind junior Victoria Hurtt. That competition now is between Morgan Tap Kuhrt and Ciara Capezio, both of Ballet whom are freshmen eager to make a Ages 3 and up • State-of-the-art dance floor difference this season.

Nail wraps add spirited touch to game-day fashion

By Katelynn.McCollough @iowastatedaily.com Students looking to take the next step in showing off their Cyclone pride can now add specialty Iowa State-themed nail wrap designs to their game-day accessories list.

University Nail Pax selected Iowa State to be among the first universities to carry the nail wrap designs, which launched in March, displaying Iowa State’s logo.

“It’s a new entry into the nail genre and industry,” said Erik Paxman, managing partner of PAX Designs.

Paxman said there was a lack of such styled adhesive products targeted for college fans but feels there is a large number of students who would be interested in the product.

Mary Kate Knabel, a campus representative for University Nail Pax, explained that she tried the nail wraps over the summer and quickly fell in love with them.

A package of the adhesive nail wraps includes large logo and smaller polka dot logo designs, as well as a nail file in order to shape them to each person’s unique nail.

There is only one design to choose from, but Paxman is hoping to add an-

other style by the end of the year and, at some point, to have a new style released every three to four months.

Knabel said she would like to see more ISU designs in the future, including ones that possibly included Cy. She would also like to see more colors, glitter or rhinestones added as style designs to choose from.

However, one design does not mean limited options.

The design strips can easily be cut in order to change the shape or style of the design you want on your nail. For example, you could paint your nail and then put cut out lines of the nail wraps on top of your paint color of choice.

“It’s very easy, applicable, do-it-yourself,” Paxman said, who said it should take about five to 10 minutes to apply the nail wraps for each hand and should last two to three days.

The University Nail Pax are being sold at the Memorial Union, as well as on the University Nail Pax website for $12.

Students ordering online can use a “fall13” discount code for a reduced price.

Knabel will be at the first game handing out coupons and showing off the nail wraps while fans tailgate.

Avoid dressing like a freshman

By Tedi.Mathis @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa State Daily

Elizabeth Kraidich Kaitlin Herzog and Meghan Moratz wait for the results of their sorority during the 2012 formal recruitment. Attire for various greek events may be specific, and looking the part is an essential part of sorority and fraternity life.

Tips on how to dress for greek events

By Saige.Heyer @iowastatedaily.com Dressing fashionably for greek events can be a challenge for new members — many events, both formal and informal, may call for specific attire.

Whether a student belongs to a sorority or fraternity, the chapter pins and greek letters are encouraged. Alec DiLorenzo, from Sigma Alpha Epsilon, said some chapters give letter shirts to their new members, as a pledge class shirt.

“Their letters are definitely encouraged, not to segregate by any means — just meant to show the greek pride in general,” said Josh Hill, president of FarmHouse.

To the more social events such as WatermelonFest, Homecoming and Greek Week, members wear either their pairing shirts or letter shirts. Pairing shirts have the letters of the sorority, big fraternity and little fraternity.

Formal attire for fraternities typically consists of khakis, buttondown shirts, ties, blazers or suits.

Sorority members often wear dresses, such as cocktail or sundresses, to their formal events. Claire Sincox, of Pi Beta Phi, described the spring formal events for sororities as being more like high school homecoming rather than prom.

Sorority chapters will give guidelines for certain events in which the members have to dress

alike, but they don’t have the exact same outfits. “Each chapter has a different dress code for each day of formal recruitment,” said Caitlin Higgins, of Delta Zeta.

Greek members can shop just almost anywhere for apparel. Kohl’s and JCPenney are popular places in Ames to go for dresses and blazers.

Lyla’s Boutique and Ayden Lee in Ames are locally popular places for sorority members to shop. Greek letter apparel can be purchased online or through the chapter itself.

If new members are unsure about what to wear, they can ask their mentors or any upperclassman in the house. House managers can help new members find what they need.

Stressing the first day of college is typical for freshman. It’s hard to know what to expect out of classes, what to bring, where to go and, especially, what to wear.

Here are some tips from upperclassman to keep you from sticking out as a freshman.

1. You don’t need to get all dolled up: This isn’t elementary school where your mom would dress you in your finest clothes. College classes are laid back — no need to wear your high heels or nice dress shirts. “It seems like a lot of freshman get ready and dress up,” said sophomore Katie Kassel. “Look chill, like you’ve done it before.” This doesn’t mean you can’t look nice, but leave the prom dresses and suits in the closet.

2. Avoid your Destination Iowa State gear: the event is a one-of-a-kind experience here at Iowa State, and one that tops most schools across the nation. You get a lot of free stuff, but you don’t need to wear it all to class. “Don’t wear the red bag they gave you at DIS—or the lanyard,” said seniors Mariah Williams and Tosha Wilburn. “Those are a dead giveaway.” Save the bag for the gym and throw the lanyard in your backpack; you can still use them both, avoid broadcasting them.

3. Avoid ISU gear: Hey, we all have school pride.

We’re all happy to be Cyclones — especially because that means we’re not Hawkeyes. There’s no shame in throwing on your favorite Cyclone shirt, but no need to be decked out head-to-toe in cardinal and gold.

4. No high school clothing: Want people to know you’re fresh out of high school? Then throw on your letter jacket. You might notice, however, you are the only one donning your old mascot and high school colors.

“Avoid high school clothes, like team apparel from high school sports,” said senior Erin Ott. There is no easier way to spot a freshman than to see a high school T-shirt.

5. Leave the map at home: There is no need to pull out a map of Iowa State as you navigate across campus — that is the magic of smartphones. Pull up the map on the MyState application on your phone and fool people who will assume you’re sending a text as you cross campus like everyone else. Don’t have a smartphone? There is nothing wrong with studying the map the night before classes or practicing your walk to class ahead of time.

>>ENROLLMENT p 1 dents with all the skills necessary to build successful careers. These skills come from a highly reputed faculty. In the last six years, seven faculty members earned national excellence in teaching honors.

“Our college has an international reputation for excellent, high-quality educational programs that prepare extraordinary future leaders,” Wintersteen said.

“Our students learn from the best — many of our faculty are internationally known for their science and service. Our faculty [includes] terrific advisers, mentors and great teachers.”

For the past 15 years, the employment rate of agriculture and life sciences graduates has been at or near 98 percent, acting as a driving force behind the record numbers in enrollment. The college hosts the largest agricultural career fair in the nation each fall, attracting upward of 200 employers. They hold the second largest in the spring.

Another way the college encourages students to enroll includes financial support and involvement within students clubs and organizations. Each year, the college offers more than $2 million in scholarships and works to increase the number of scholarship offers.
