For the second time in three years, Iowa State is playing host to Tibetan monks. A group from Atlanta is currently building a sand mandala for the Memorial Union.

Monks construct spiritual mandala to bring wisdom

By Emi.Soupene @iowastatedaily.com The Memorial Union was filled with the sounds of blasting cymbals, a beating drum, blaring horns and chanting Tibetan monks.

The Drepung Loseling Monastery is visiting campus to build

a sand mandala. Its members will be placing sand and selling various Buddhist pieces of literature and Tibetan souvenirs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Thursday in the Main Lounge of the Memorial Union.

Geshe Loden, spokesman for the monks, has been traveling

across the United States with this particular group from Atlanta.

Since February, the group has constructed 19 mandalas.

This is not the first time Ames has hosted Tibetan monks. Three years ago, monks came and built another sand mandala. Thanks to the Multicultural Awareness com-

Minimum wage laws can have consequences

NORML ISU continues lawsuit

By Matthew.Rezab @iowastatedaily.com A “resistance to defendants’ motion to dismiss” document filed by NORML ISU attorneys Monday claimed ISU officials denied benefits to and restricted the speech of students because they disagreed with the group’s message.

The document accused administrators of “shielding illegitimate restrictions on political speech by invoking

trademark principles.”

The resistance to the motion also claims NORML ISU was discriminated against after it was featured in a Des Moines Register article. The story featured a prominent photo of a student wearing a NORML ISU T-shirt, which had a cannabis leaf and Cy the mascot on it.

NORML ISU filed the lawsuit after it was denied permission to use ISU-trademarked logos on T-shirts.

The Memorial Union celebrated its 86th birthday on Monday. The top photo is from 1956 and the bottom from 2014. The Memorial Union was built as a memorial to honor fallen veterans who were also ISU students.

Part time, weekend

jobs $11.00 Per HoUr

The Memorial Union honors those who have served while still serving students today.

The Memorial Union had its 86th birthday Monday, serving free chili, cake and drinks in the Great Hall.

Doors opened at 5:30 p.m. and many of the seats were filled shortly after, causing the food service to expand into the overflow room.

The Memorial Union is a staple on Iowa State’s campus, providing a place for students and community members to get together.

Service to the student body is the Memorial Union’s top priority, as it has has been ever since it was built in the early 1900s, said Kristin Erdman, marketing coordinator for the Memorial Union.

“We’re here to serve the students,” Erdman said.

Though the Memorial Union serves ISU students, it was built in honor of those who had given the ultimate sacrifice.

In the early 1920s, students on campus saw a need for a memorial to honor those ISU students who served in World War I. Students sought support through their peers and alumni by asking for pledges.

About $1 million was raised by 1925, allowing for construction to begin.

Ground was broken on April 26, 1927.

The Memorial Union had its grand opening a year later on Sept. 23.

At the time of opening, it housed a cafeteria, one floor of hotel rooms, meeting and office rooms, a beauty shop, barber shop, lounge, the Great Hall and its main purpose — Gold Star Hall.

Gold Star Hall serves as the north entrance to the Memorial Union, through which many students filter on a daily basis.

Chiseled in the stone walls of Gold Star Hall are the names of fallen veterans who at one point attended Iowa State.

“I think that students often forget that that the [Memorial Union] is a memorial,” Erdman said. “So as you pass through the Gold Star Hall, you’re usually running from class to class or to grab something to eat and you don’t always think like you’re actually walking through a physical memorial that was built to really remember the soldiers who have given their lives over the years.”

Not all students know the Memorial Union is a living dedication to fallen veterans.

“To be honest, we came for the free food,” said Limay Vong, sophomore in industrial design, when asked why she attended the birthday bash.

Once informed of the Memorial Union’s original purpose, she shared her thoughts on the students who served in the nation’s various wars and conflicts.

“I think it’s pretty im-

portant because they sacrificed their life for the rights that we have,” Vong said.

Since its grand opening, the Memorial Union has undergone 11 additions, including the addition of the South Ballroom, the Browsing Library and Chapel, the University Book Store, the Sun Room and parking ramp.

Each addition was made to adapt to the needs of the changing Iowa State community.

Today, it serves as a dining location, gathering space, office space, hotel and more for the current campus community.

In addition to Gold Star Hall, another service the Memorial Union provides is a Veteran’s Lounge, a place for current veterans to gather.

Joshua Dawkins, sophomore in mechanical engineering and veteran, visits the lounge nearly every day.

“A normal student has a completely different outlook than what we do,” Dawkins said. “It’s nice to sit with other veterans and have that camaraderie that we have.”

Like many places in the Memorial Union, it’s a place to relax, but this one is special to current veterans.

“It gives me a place to decompress from the stressors of the college collective,” said Chris Johnson, senior in psychology and veteran who served in Afghanistan.

“We’re used to a completely different pace of life.”

Sen. Tom Harkin is a proponent of increasing the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10. This would wreak havoc on the economy and for businesses.

High hourly wage imperils economy

By Zöe.Woods @iowastatedaily.com

I

n our country’s current economic state, it is impossible to live on $7.25 an hour. But raising the minimum wage to what is being proposed — $10.10 an hour — isn’t the answer that will solve all the issues Americans face financially.

Raising the minimum wage has the capabilities of causing economic turmoil and things like inflation and higher unemployment rates will occur.

Businesses big and small cannot afford to pay their employees $15 per hour. The businesses would be forced to cut back on not only employee’s hours but also how many people they have on staff. In extreme cases, machines may be used to take the place of employees requesting higher pay.

It all comes down to supply and demand. It just isn’t logical to demand what can’t be supplied. Businesses struggle as it is to make a profit with the economy in the state that it’s in. To require that they also increase wages for their employees would suffocate the possibility of making any profit whatsoever.

In a hearing on the minimum wage conducted by the Senate committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, Sen. Tom Harkin, who is also the committee chairman, stated that while the overall benefits of increasing the minimum wage outweigh

the costs, it is still a question for policymakers to decide.

“The Congressional Budget Office’s report did point out, however, that the benefits and costs would be different for different groups of people,” Harkin said. “Most low-wage workers would receive higher pay that would increase their family’s income, and some of those families would see their income rise above the federal poverty threshold.”

He went on to say that some jobs for low-wage workers would probably be eliminated.

“Other people would be affected differently,” Harkin said. “For example, a few higher-wage workers would owe their jobs and increased earnings to the heightened demand for goods and services that would result from a minimum wage increase.

In addition, business owners would see reductions in real, inflation-adjusted income — as would consumers, who would face higher prices as a result of the minimum-wage increase.”

In an assessment done in February on the effects of a minimum wage increase on employment and family income, the Congressional Budget Office stated if the proposed $10.10 an hour minimum wage went into effect, we would see a 90 percent chance that there would be a large reduction of more than 500,000 workers in the second half of 2016, relative to what would happen under current law.

Specifically, the office

estimates, “Once fully implemented in the second half of 2016, the $10.10 option would reduce total employment by about 500,000 workers, or 0.3 percent ... As with any such estimates, however, the actual losses could be smaller or larger.”

There is also a second option for a minimum wage increase, a lower option that has a much more reasonable effect on the economy.

A $9.00 hourly minimum wage would only reduce employment by about 100,000 employees, or by less than 0.1 percent, the office projects. This is substantially less than the potential 500,000 employees if the wage were raised to $10.10 an hour.

“There is about a twothirds chance that the effect would be in the range between a very slight increase in employment and a reduction in employment of 200,000 workers,” the office said about the $9.00 option.

There are findings that increasing the minimum wage reduces employment in two ways.

According to conventional economic analysis, the first way is that higher wages increase the cost of producing goods and services to employers.

Inflation occurs and the employers pass on some of their increased costs to consumers in the form of higher prices. Those higher prices lead the consumers to purchase fewer products.

This causes a ripple effect and the employers consequently produce fewer

goods and services. Because of this they hire fewer workers.

The second way is that a minimum-wage increase raises the cost of low-wage workers relative to other inputs that employers use to produce goods and services, such as machines, technology and more productive higher-wage workers, according to conventional economic analysis.

As a result, employers respond by reducing their use of low-wage workers, substituting them for those other options.

Employers might also respond to an increase in the minimum wage in ways other than boosting prices or substituting other options for employees.

“For example, they might partly offset a minimum-wage increase by reducing other costs, including workers’ fringe benefits, such as health insurance or pensions, and job perks, such as free meals.

As a result, a higher minimum wage might increase total compensation, which includes benefits and perks, less than it increased cash wages alone,” the office’s assessment stated.

So it only makes sense that raising the minimum wage to $10.10 would not only be detrimental to our economy but to large and small businesses as well.

In a more perfect and reasonable world, the more applicable solution would be to lower the cost of living, but that is next to impossible.

Obama needs to reassess military priorities

By Jade.Elsberry @iowastatedaily.com

W

hen you take a look at our military, you most likely envision them fighting for our country. They’re in uniform, maybe holding an M-16, fighting the enemy. Now try to imagine them trying to fight an epidemic.

This week, President Barack Obama decided that he would be sending 3,000 troops overseas to help stop the spreading Ebola virus. Ebola is passed along through direct contact of the bodily fluids from sick patients, which makes doctors and nurses very susceptible to this virus. So far, the outbreak has killed 2,200 people in five West African countries, according to Fox News Channel.

Maybe we should take a closer look at what helping out West Africa will really entail.

Samantha Power, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has called an emergency meeting this Thursday to discuss the virus that could “set the countries of West Africa back a generation.” The emergency meeting is with the Security Council, which is responsible for the international peace and security.

The Department of Defense has now asked Congress for $500 million to fund this endeavor. Keep in mind that this money could be used for other current issues the United States is facing such as trying to send troops home from Afghanistan. The Islamic State group is another problem that Obama seems to be putting off and not being forthright about how he wants to handle that matter. Also, America is still in debt from our ongoing war with Afghanistan, so donating that much money to someone else’s country may not even be feasible.

The $500 million is said

to help with building 17 health care facilities, each of which will contain 100 beds, train 500 health care workers per week and provide at home health care kits to thousands of homes — 50,000 will be delivered to Liberia this week. Also in Liberia, a military command center will be set up.

Experts have noted that even 3,000 troops will not make a dent with all the help that they need. This means that this affair will be ongoing and that we will continue to send more troops over. The United Nations has stated that it will take about $1 billion to contain the Ebola outbreak. Concerns are also being raised that our military, which is already stretched thin, is being pulled away from crucial counterterrorism operations.

“This is an epidemic that is not just a threat to regional security, it’s a potential threat to global security if these countries break down;

if their economies break down and people panic,” Obama said, according to Fox News.

There’s no doubt that this Ebola outbreak is an emergency that should be taken care of and maybe even with our help. The confusing factor is why he is more concerned about another countries welfare more so than our own.

Obama has stated that he will not send troops into a combat mission on the ground to fight the Islamic State group in Iraq. He’s ignored other issues the past few years that most would consider needed immediate attention.

Perhaps, if interest were shown in the United States and its security then we would feel more prepared and willing to help another nation. With the costs, manpower and troop-vulnerability to this Ebola virus, the president should think of a new game plan.

Support, be proud of every event in Cy-Hawk Series During the weekend, the ISU volleyball team knocked off the University of Iowa for the 10th consecutive time, giving Iowa State a dominant 7-0 lead in the Cy-Hawk Series. With that feat, it was the first time since the series was started in 2004 that a school has won the opening three sports.

ISU soccer kicked off the Cy-Hawk season with a 2-1 victory against Iowa, in front of a record-breaking crowd on Sept. 5. Iowa State bounced back after being down 1-0 early and gave the Cyclones a 2-0 lead in the Cy-Hawk Series. It was their first win against the Hawkeyes since 2005.

Then there was the trip to Iowa City for the football team. Underdogs going into the marquee event in the Cy-Hawk Series, the Cyclones again overcame the deficit and defeated the Hawkeyes 20-17. Iowa State claimed three points, as per Cy-Hawk Series rules, and gained a 5-0 lead in the series.

After the volleyball’s victory, Iowa State swept Iowa and now sits ahead 7-0 in the CyHawk showdown. But as we dive deeper into the season, we mustn’t forget the remaining 10 events where Iowa State will challenge its in-state rival.

As ISU students, we have to take pride in all sporting and academic events. On May 8, the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series will tally its final event: academics. When graduation rates are released in October, both schools have a chance to earn one point. The school can earn that point by having the graduation rate of student-athletes exceed the overall student body graduation rate.

There’s more to the matchup than just football and basketball, though. Obviously, soccer started off strong in front of 2,090 fans who spent part of their Friday night as part of a record-breaking crowd. A trip to Peoria, Ill., to watch the cross country teams Nov. 14 might be hard for some fans and students, but it may be worth the trip. The women’s cross country team is ranked No. 9 in the nation and the men are No. 26.

The women’s basketball team approaches record-breaking numbers in terms of attendance each year. The men’s basketball team is poised for a deep run into the NCAA tournament and plays with some of the best teams in the nation. The swimming and diving teams are coming out of their first match and victory against Iowa last year and will be looking to continue their success.

All teams at Iowa State possess potential conference and national championship athletes. These athletes are building national championship-caliber teams at the university.

As members of Iowa State, we need to invest our interest, time and knowledge into all of the sports, not just football and basketball.

There is more of which to be proud at Iowa State than a week of football frenzy and then forgetting about the rest of the Cy-Hawk Series.

Invest your time in those other sports and academics — be a part of that pride.

Team braces for high-scoring Baylor offense

By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com

Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily

Redshirt junior quarterback Sam Richardson passes the ball during the Kansas State game on Sept. 6 at Jack Trice Stadium. Even though the Cyclones led for much of the game, the Wildcats won 32-28. This Saturday, Iowa State will face Baylor, a team known for scoring more than 60 points per game.

Iowa State readies for Baylor Offensive line shifts, preps for Baylor defense

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com After starting out the season as a guard, community college transfer Wendell Taiese made the move to left tackle in the most recent depth chart released by the ISU football team.

Taiese, who transferred to Iowa State in the offseason from Laney College in Oakland, Calif., has yet to play in a game this season. However, this move is one that coaches feel will benefit the offensive line.

“We had to move for depth reasons to give us two solid guards and tackles,” said head coach Paul Rhoads. “Certainly when he came in, we tried figure out what was going to be his best spot. We settled on

guard, but he easily could have been a tackle from day one.”

Along with Taiese’s move, lineman Jacob Gannon has rejoined the team and is listed as the second tackle behind redshirt freshman Jake Campos.

Gannon, who left the team nearly two weeks ago due to a personal health issue, rejoined the team last week. Rhoads would only say a few words to say about Gannon on Monday, however.

“Jacob Gannon will be ready to play, yes.” Rhoads said.

Whether that means Gannon will enter the game Saturday, fans will have to wait and see.

Campos, originally from Des Moines, got his first start against Kansas State in week two after Gannon left the team. Campos stepped in and did everything that was asked of him, according to coaches.

“He really competed hard as a redshirt fresh-

man,” Rhoads said after the Kansas State game. “He was going against one of the best in the Big 12 and he never backed down from that challenge. He improved from the beginning of the game to the end and never stopped competing through the whole process.”

Campos’ play even impressed fellow player Allen Lazard, who also got his first career start against Kansas State.

“I think Campos did a phenomenal job too,” Lazard said following the game.

“He worked his butt off all game. From what I heard and from watching down the field, he did a great job out there.”

First year offensive line coach Brandon Blaney has made it his focus to get the line to work together this year. Center Tom Farniok said players on the offensive line have seemed to start to grasp that concept, too.

Farniok noted that he first saw the line really play-

ing together during the second half of the Iowa game two weeks ago, something that he thinks was a big part of the win.

“No one was like, ‘I’m playing good. I don’t need to change anything,’” Farniok said. “At the Iowa game, we just knew what we needed to do and that’s what we did. I think it was definitely shown there what we can do as a line.”

And when they take on Baylor on Saturday, one of the biggest challenges will come from the Baylor defensive line, one of the best in the Big 12. ISU quarterback Sam Richardson knows that the line has a big challenge ahead of it but feels confident that it can get the job done.

“There are definitely some big guys up front,” Richardson said of the Baylor defensive line. “It will be a great opportunity for our line to kind of prove themselves. It’s a very confident defense, and one that will give us a test on Saturday.”

The last time Iowa State scored 60 points in a game was on Sept. 20, 1986, a 64-9 win against Indiana State.

None of the players taking the field against the Baylor Bears Saturday had been born yet.

No. 7 Baylor (3-0, 0-0 Big 12) has put up 60 points eight times in its last 16 games. Iowa State has scored 60 points only nine times in its 1,170-game history.

How many points does head coach Paul Rhoads think his team needs to score to win?

“Oh, 72,” Rhoads said with a smile.

Rhoads was joking about losing last season’s battle 71-7, but he wasn’t joking about scoring.

Rhoads called Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty his Heisman front-runner and he leads the No. 1 offense in the nation with 59.3 points per game.

Though the old saying is “the best offense is a good defense,” defense won’t win the game against a team like Baylor. The offense hopes to flip the cliche.

“You want to try to get their offense off the field as long as you can,” said ISU quarterback Sam Richardson. “Putting up points is the main thing.”

The Cyclones could not do either of those things in last season’s 71-7 thrashing in Waco, Texas. Keeping the Bears’ offense off the field seemed impossible as nine of the Cyclones’ 16 drives lasted less than two minutes. To make matters worse, the Cyclones turned only one drive into points.

“That’s kind of one of those that you burn the tape and move on from,” said center Tom Farniok. “We’ve got a new staff and pretty much a new team, so we are totally different [than last season].”

With a new staff comes a new offensive system, which has improved ev-

ery week after a rocky start.

Since finding their stride against Kansas State, the Cyclones have engineered five drives of four minutes or longer, scoring on three of them.

But the Bears don’t just put up points because they need to outscore the other team — their defense is plenty impressive on its own. Baylor currently ranks No. 3 in the nation in scoring defense, only allowing 9.0 points per game.

“They play with confidence,” Richardson said.

“It’s not difficult to do [with them] being up in the game so much.”

If the Cyclones can keep the Baylor offense off the field and strike first, maybe that confidence takes a hit. With a week to rest and a night game at Jack Trice Stadium that will be nationally televised on Fox, the Cyclones aren’t short on confidence themselves.

And who knows what ISU offensive coordinator Mark Mangino has up his sleeve? After showing more and more comfort with the playbook in the first three weeks of the season, it wouldn’t be surprising to see some new offensive plays after having two weeks to prepare for Baylor.

With the early betting lines for the game giving the Bears a 23.5-point edge, some Cyclones are reminded of another high-powered offense that visited Ames as 27-point favorites.

“It’s pretty much the exact same as Oklahoma State [in 2011]. It’s just the beginning of the year instead of the end,” Farniok said. “It’s a huge game, huge opportunity.”

During the 2011 upset win, the Cyclones won the time of possession battle with 35 minutes to the Cowboy’s 25 minutes and forced two more turnovers than the Cowboys. They didn’t need to score 60 points to win because they controlled the game through the offense and held strong defensively.

While asking for history to repeat itself is asking for a lot, ISU players are confident.

“It’s a night game at Jack Trice Stadium against a top 10 opponent,” Richardson said. “It doesn’t get any better.”

Cyclone Hockey members vote in assistant captians Leaders’ unique roles benefit coaches, team

15 that seniors Nate Percy, Trevor Lloyd and Antti Helanto will be joining Dopko as the assistant captains for the season. They were voted assistant captains by their fellow teammates.

While the main role for the assistant captains will be to carry messages from the coaches to the players, each captain has their own unique role on the team.

“I’m glad that the players and coaches look at me to be a leader and vote me to be here,” Helanto said.

“It’s an honor but it comes with responsibility.”

Helanto played in all 50 games for the Cyclones last year. He tallied 22 points — six goals, 16 assists — and picked up a +23 plus/minus goal rating, good for fourth on the team.

Helanto said that his role is not only to lead by example on the ice but also model how players should conduct themselves off the ice.

Percy will serve as the vocal leader of the three assistant captains, known around the team as the guy who can fire everyone up.

“I want to be the vocal leader on the bench during games and in between each period.” Percy said. “I want to lead the younger guys for the future years and keep the winning ways going.”

Percy comes off a junior season with 12 goals and 19 assists. He picked up some accolades last week when he was named Cyclone Hockey’s player of the week. He scored two goals and tacked on an assist in

the North Iowa Bulls series on Sept. 12 and 13.

Percy will try to take what he learned last year under the wing of 2013-14 captain Mark Huber and assistant captains Matt Bennett, Chris Cucullu and Jon Feavel.

“It is a tremendous honor,” Percy said. “I learned a lot from [the] captains last year; they were good leaders for us and paved the way for this year’s captains. We have a great group of players to lead.”

Trevor Lloyd comes in after having worked his way onto the first few lines.

In his freshman year of Cyclone Hockey, Lloyd played in 26 of the 42 games played that year.

He impressed the coaches in those 26 games as his playing time jumped to 42 of 46 games in 201213.

Last season Lloyd scored 13 goals, third best on the team, to go along with 16 assists.

Having worked his way into the starting lineup over his four years at Iowa State, his work ethic is something he wants to pass down with his newfound role.

“I want the players to take my example and work hard at every practice and every shift on the ice,” Lloyd said. “I have the experience that I can try to pass down to the younger guys.”

The Cyclones will take on HC Harbin from China on Saturday and Sunday at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.

Both games start at 7:30 p.m.

The Student Union Board’s annual “Project Runway” competition took place Sunday in the Memorial Union. In a break from tradition, this year’s competition was split up into two days. Sunday was the build portion of the competition when the designers created their garments that will be showcased in a fashion show Friday. This year’s celebrity judge is Katelyn Pankoke, a designer who appeared on two seasons of “Project Runway.”

ISU’s ‘Project Runway’ attracts student designers

By Miranda.Pollitt @iowastatedaily.com “Project Runway” is a well-known TV show that is famous for it’s competing designers who create a garment within a restricted amount of time.

Iowa State’s Student Union Board hosted its own 10th annual “Project Runway” fashion show competition Sunday.

This year was the seventh year with a celebrity guest judge. This year’s judge was Katelyn Pankoke, a contestant seen on seasons 11 and 12 of “Project Runway.”

Deanna Le, junior in event management and public relations, is the current special events director of SUB, the event host.

Le said that this would be her first time managing an event like this. She said there were many challenges to planning and executing the competition.

“Planning is definitely hard and there’s a lot that comes with it, like having to be ready for things that go wrong and meeting with different types of people,” Le said. “They have the fashion show in the spring, but we thought it would be fun to have something in the fall.”

Le said she hoped to gain a lot of experience from the event, and so far believes that she has gained a lot of valuable skills.

“I just really wanted to know what it’s like to work in a different type of event,” Le said. “I usually work with performers and instead this time it’s actual students and they’re participating and competing.”

Kiana Roppe, senior in journalism and mass com-

munication and apparel, merchandising and design, competed for her fourth year. She shared some of her first experiences with the annual competition.

“When I was a freshman, my roommate and I heard about it,” Roppe said. “We decided to put up a group and decided last minute.”

Alana Barnett, senior in apparel, merchandising and design, competed for her third year and said she started because of Roppe’s recommendation of the competition.

“It was different [than the first year] because, instead of making something from scratch, we had to deconstruct something, then reconstruct it,” Barnett said. “But it was a lot of fun and I kept wanting to go.”

Le shared how this year’s competition is formatted differently than past competitions.

“In the past, they did it all in one day. The work day and the fashion show, so that was a little crazy,” Le said. “We thought that if we broke it up in two days, now we have the work day on Sunday and fashion show Friday, then it must be a little better.”

Roppe explained how the design process works when students are in teams instead of working individually, which is the authentic “Project Runway” experience.

“Somehow it really works out when you’re in the moment. The night before we pick the one thing that we want go with,” Roppe said. “So then we all go in and just whoever is the strongest at something, they tend to take over.”

Barnett said group

members who have different styles can mix well during the competition to create a well-designed product.

“We see different perspectives,” Barnett said.

“We get a garment that’s a mix of different styles instead of it being just like all flirty and girly or all streamline and masculine.”

Roppe said that the process of design is planned out the night before. Each team member has a couple of hours to think of ideas.

When the group members come together, each would pitch his or her ideas and the best idea would be executed.

The day of the competition is a rush of adrenaline, and Roppe said that competitors are expected to work long hours, starting at 8 a.m. The competition starts off by competitors running for fabric.

“Everyone is in a frenzy grabbing pieces,” Roppe said. “You bring them back to your table and then you have to sort through them.”

Barnett said each member would get assigned tasks based on his or her strengths. She said everyone would multitask by sewing different materials at the same time. When the creations were complete and time was up, each piece would be judged.

“They’re literally there counting down. ‘You have five seconds left,’ and we have to sprint and get everything done,” Roppe said.

“Have the model dressed, makeup, hair, shoes and then the judges would make them stand around the room, talking to each of us and then there would be the show.”

Barnett explained how the event was run differ-

“They would have a mini-runway show, then they would judge that way,” Barnett said. “Then they walk around and talk to us.”

Roppe said after the judging period, they would then have the larger fashion show where the winner would be revealed.

This year, both Barnett

and Roppe are expecting to win through hard work and determination. They shared advice to students who would want to compete in future competitions.

“Definitely be open to changing because you don’t know the fabrics that they’re going to have there — you don’t know what colors, what style — so you

have to be flexible in that respect and be able to grab whatever you think might work and go with it,” Roppe said. “And just to have fun with your team.”

The fashion show, which will showcase every design created Sunday, will be at 9 p.m. Friday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

Overflow Thrift Store is a consignment shop that is planning on donating 50 percent of its profits to different local missions like a halfway house, a safe house for sex trafficking victims and Iowans looking to adopt.

A sand mandala is a spiritual object in Buddhist cultures. It is a geometric shape that represents the universe. When completed, Buddhists believe it becomes a sacred portal for deities and other universal forces.

Think of it as a large, colorful painting made entirely of sand. Each vivid grain of sand is carefully placed by a metal strawlike instrument and then gently moved with a stick.

Together, the tools are referred to as chakpur.

Each mandala is a oneof-a-kind creation. There are many different types of mandalas; each symbolic and meant to serve a specific purpose.

The one being built for Iowa State is known as a Green Tara Mandala and will require four days to build. The green symbolizes wisdom.

Once it is finished on the fourth day, it is released into an open body of water so it may free the energy from the Tara and allow it

CAREER FAIRS p1 Services.

“Getting my name out there and just experiencing the career fair is what I’m looking forward to,” said Mollie Shultz, freshman in English.

Each college has a career services department that can help students prepare for job searching or

co-owners and founders of Overflow. They hope to donate at least 50 percent of each month’s revenue to three separate ministries, but Twito said “after expenses are met, it will all go.”

One of the three ministries that will receive donations is Children’s Hope Chest, a ministry active in many countries, where donations will be focused on aiding an orphanage in Uganda.

Another ministry, Life to Life Africa, provides education, food and clothing for Ugandan people.

Overflow will also support United Christian International, which will be aiding a community in Haiti.

Twito said that the three “were walking in step and met,” brought together by “divine intervention.”

Twito, whose husband is the pastor at Ascension Lutheran Church in Ames, was introduced to Sulc and Hicks after traveling to Haiti with her youngest daughter and returning with a vision of giving back to the world.

Hicks had operated a store located in Nevada, Iowa, that sold unwanted items left behind when tenants moved out of houses or apartments. She was connected with Sulc and Twito by mutual friends and found that they had similar philanthropic ambitions.

“After having been overseas, after seeing the lack of stuff, and the simplicity of their lifestyles, it’s just heartbreaking to see that we have so much stuff that we can’t even take it all with us,” Twito said. “We can’t even manage it.”

Sulc, who works fulltime for Life to Life Africa, which supports villages in Africa through clothing and food supplies, was searching for a way to give support to struggling people without the hassle of physically shipping donated clothing.

The store front provides a means to give financial assistance directly

to villages in need.

Twito predicted that it would take six months to a full year to be profitable enough to accomplish some of Overflow’s goals, which include a tuition scholarship for a student at a university in Haiti for about $1,200.

However, after the first month of business, Overflow has surpassed breaking even and will be able to donate right away.

The three owners were happy to be able to start off by giving a presence in their three ministries.

Twito said, “the keys to our success is going to be the volunteer situation.”

Overflow has one fulltime employee and one part time employee but is mainly maintained and run by volunteers.

Allee Wengert is a recent graduate of Iowa State who is seeking her master’s degree. She plans on volunteering 10 to 20 hours per week at the store.

“The cause really is just so great,” Wengert said, “This kind of mission makes working here bigger than basic volunteer work,” Wengert said.

Overflow Thrift Store can be contacted to schedule volunteering on its website, http://overflowthriftstore.com, or through its Facebook page.

One can also fill out a volunteer interest form in the store itself.

Aside from the global ministries, the owners of Overflow also plan to support local missions, including a halfway house for women leaving prison, a safe house for women leaving the sex trafficking industry in Iowa, and supporting Iowans who plan to adopt or foster orphans from the state or around the world.

Twito had tears in her eyes as she explained her passion for Overflow’s mission.

“We have so much here. And yet for them, their lives aren’t centered around stuff, so there is a wealth that they have that I want to learn from too,” Twito said about those who benefit from the ministries.

to flow.

The mandala for Iowa State will be released into College Creek at 12:45 p.m.

Thursday.

Ellen Williams, sophomore in public relations, has previously seen a mandala built in Minneapolis.

“I think it is important for students to know about culture because they go to a school with 30,000 students,” Williams said. “It would be a mistake not to recognize diversity.”

The mandala is divided up into four quadrants and a monk must paint and memorize every minute detail of his quadrant. The images on the mandala are based off of Scriptural texts.

Geshe Loden has some words of wisdom for students.

“We need tolerance and patience and wisdom as well to achieve our goals,” Geshe Loden said.

There will also be mandala-themed events Monday through Thursday in the Memorial Union. this includes a creative workshop where one can build his or her own stone mandala for $2 and a mandala drawing class for $5.

Members of the Drepung Loseling Monastery are creating a sand mandala in the Memorial Union. The creation of the mandala is a painstaking, process. The one in the Memorial Union will take four days to complete.
