Remembering Celia a year later

BY JAKE.WEBSTER AND NOAH.ROHLFING @iowastatedaily.com The killing of Celia Barquín Arozamena on Sept. 17, 2018 made international news for its judicial and sporting perspectives and led the Iowa State and Ames community to seek justice and answers.

AMES’ RESPONSE Barquín Arozamena, 22 at the time she was killed, was a successful player for Iowa State’s women’s golf team. She had been scheduled to receive the Iowa State Female Athlete of the Year award less than a week after she was killed, and won the 2018 European Ladies Amateur Championship tournament July 28, 2018.

Barquín Arozamena was a native of Puente San Miguel, Spain, and came to Iowa State a month into classes in her CELIA

IOWA STATE DAILY Before the football game against the University of Akron on Sept. 22, a video tribute honoring Celia Barquín Arozamena was shown. Members of the audience participated in a moment of silence to remember the Cyclone gold athlete at Jack Trice Stadium. The crowd was filled with yellow, as that was Barquín Arozamena’s favorite color.

Latinx students connect

BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com In celebration of the start of Latinx Heritage Month, students gathered Monday to connect as a community.

The Office of the V ice President for Diversity and Inclusion hosted a Latinx student reception in the Gold Room of the Memorial Union to connect students and offer resources.

M o re t h a n 3 0 s t u d e n t s packed into the Gold Room, where food and drinks were provided. While there, Diana Sloan, program director for Hispanic and Latino Affairs, introduced herself and helped lead discussions and introductions.

“We decided to hold this event at the beginning of the Latino Heritage Month because we wanted them to know that we are here for them, not just during this month but throughout the year,” Sloan said.

The majority of the event was informal and conversation-based as a way to connect students in the Latinx community. There were introductions between students, as well as Sloan herself, who also gave out information for different resources on campus.

Sloan said the event was for students to know they are welcome at Iowa State and that she can provide a space not only for them to share ideas and engage with the community, but also to voice concerns when they arise.

“This event was very successful,” Sloan said. “I am happy students brought up issues and shared about their background not only at Iowa State but all over the United States. We talked about our shared experiences, families, our connections to each other and what it means to be a Latino.”

The attendees discussed ways to keep the conversation going

after the event to keep the topic of the Latinx community at the forefront, saying “nothing about us, without us.”

Sloan said the idea for the event came early on in her time at Iowa State when she was hired during the summer of 2019.

“When I joined the Diversity and Inclusion office in the summer, part of my listening tour was finding a way to best connect to students,” Sloan said. “We wanted to create an environment that was friendly, approachable and everybody would be comfortable bringing up topics we should know about as faculty and staff at Iowa State.”

Sloan said that after discussions with the Multicultural Liaison Officers, she decided upon having an informal gathering in order to meet students.

She said this event was the right platform to start conversations at Iowa State.

Former Cyclone shares mental health journey at Iowa State

GARRETT HEYD/ IOWA STATE DAILY Jake Sullivan talks to students about how he dealt with mental illness growing up, in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union on Sept. 16. Sullivan was a former Iowa State basketball player from 2000 to 2004.

BY ELI.HARRIS @iowastatedaily.com Former Cyclone basketball player Jake Sullivan came to Iowa State late Monday to talk about his personal battles with mental illness and spread awareness of the issue.

His mental health issues began when he was in eighth grade and started to develop signs of obsessive compulsive disorder. It was then he began to devote himself to basketball, where he excelled, but he was anxious about doing poorly.

“I became deathly afraid of losing what

I had worked so hard to achieve,” Sullivan said.

Iowa State was supposed to be the turning point — a place where he could meet new people and create a new life. For the first few weeks, he enjoyed his time at the university, but his old problems came back

Lecturer to discuss phobia

BY MADISON.MASON @iowastatedaily.com In the United States education system, the status of immigrant students is prevalent all across the nation. Cati de los Rios of the School of Education at the University of California, Davis, is giving a lecture titled, “Literacy as Action in Enduring Climates of Xenophobia” at 7 p.m. Sept. 17 in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

Xenophobia is defined as a dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries, according to Dictionary.com. In American society, xenophobia is apparent especially within classrooms where there is a lack of initiative to make those who are immigrants feel safe in American classrooms all across the nation.

De los Rios’ lecture is a response to Leigh Patel’s call to action to make literacy and schools sanctuaries for immigrant communities, in order to not only provide a concrete network for these communities, but also to stand in solidarity with them.

De los Rios will talk about a high school’s ethnic studies program and how it affected immigrant families’ literacies in the community, describe the relationship between a university researcher and the ethnic studies program and talk about different theories of cultural weaving.

“This talk asks A: What do literacies look like in an ethnic studies course that designed learning

to haunt him.

Eventually, he joined the Salt Company, a Christian ministry organization on campus.

He also began doing exposure therapy after watching “A Beautiful Mind.” It was then that he started to improve.

“Exposure therapy gave me healing, but it was my faith and the foundation of the Bible that helped me get through it,” Sullivan said.

Sullivan said he is now heavily involved with ministr y and helping others with mental health issues of their own.

Sullivan said he believes there are plenty of students and Division I athletes who struggle with mental health. Due to these factors, he said he thinks they turn to isolation and drugs for help. To combat this, his advice to friends and family is to endure through the pain of their loved one’s suffering and help them by giving them communities in which to improve. Another important way to help: celebrate in their small victories.

“There are nights that are long but every morning I know it’s a new day,” Sullivan said.

He said he believes the battle is a life-long process people will have to deal with, but he said he has chosen to see his affliction as a gift. Sullivan’s energy is transferred into to helping his family and his son, who also has some of the difficulties he experienced, as well as his ministry work for others.

“The greatest gift I have ever been given outside of my faith is my mental illness,” Sullivan said.

Biden airs first Iowa campaign advertisment

BY JAKE.WEBSTER @iowastatedaily.com

COURTESY OF CATI DE LOS RIOS Cati de los Rios will present a lecture titled, “Literacy as Action in Enduring Climates of Xenophobia,” which will focus on xenophobia in classrooms, Tuesday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

around local community knowledge and sanctuary? B: How do students respond to such curricular designing?” de los Rios said.

This lecture is not only supposed to present attendees with this information, but also provides a chance for them to analyze this idea of literacy refuge that de los Rios offers as a solution. She will cover how this classroom approach can affect the future of migrant communities that live in this sociopolitical climate and offer them a discussion in order to better classroom practice and extend research on the topic.

De los Rios said she is speaking

about this topic to extend ethnographic understanding in school based participatory projects and also to show intergenerational growth, sociopolitical awareness and to magnify social movements that are specifically for those that are a part of the Latinx community and immigrant families.

“Literacy as Action in Enduring Climates of Xenophobia” is a part of the 2019 Helen LeBaron Hilton Chair lecture series and is sponsored by the School of Education, the Committee on Lectures and the Helen LeBaron Hilton Chair lecture series.

Iowans have seen political commercials during big football games in past years, and Saturday’s Cy-Hawk game featured more of the same.

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign bought a 60-second ad spot during the football game featuring his “Bones” commercial, the first television ad the campaign ran in the state. The ad opens with a narrator saying “[w]e know in our bones this election is different — the stakes are higher, the threat more serious,” as a video clip of white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia plays.

A 60-second ad buy is a serious campaign investment — most political ads run on television for 30 seconds.

Biden for President Iowa State director Jake Braun said like ESPN’s College GameDay, “all eyes” will be on Iowa’s caucuses — with students in the state holding the “keys” to the country’s future.

“That’s why we’re encouraging everyone to get involved, get engaged in Student for Biden groups we’ve launched [in] Iowa, and help change the course of this country for the better,” Braun said.

The Biden campaign’s ad buy came in the wake of a debate performance Thursday that caused little movement in Biden’s already high favorable ratings, according to an Ipsos tracking poll. The candidate

remains the frontrunner in most national public opinion polls of likely Democratic primary voters.

Former Rep. John Delaney, D-Md., who did not qualify for Thursday’s debate, went up with an ad in Iowa television markets in 2018 during that year’s Super Bowl.

The candidate remains mired in the low-single digits in Iowa and nationwide, despite spending millions of dollars from his own fortune on advertising and other campaign efforts.

The degree to which political commercials move voters to support a given candidate depends on the style of the ad, research has found.

Ted Brader, political science professor at the University of Michigan, published a study that found campaign ads that produce fear in people, such as ones with “discordant music” and “pictures of violence and drug use,” cause people to seek more information after viewing, while more upbeat ads reduce viewer interest and result in the audience tuning out.

“These results suggest campaigns achieve their goals in part by appealing to emotions and emotional appeals can promote democratically desirable behavior,” Brader said in the study.

With 142 days left until caucus night, Iowans can expect ads from candidates with increasing frequency, on football game days and otherwise.

Professor to talk free speech and freedom at Iowa State

BY JAKE.WEBSTER @iowastatedaily.com College campuses have become a battleground of words for columnists and activists in the free speech war in the United States.

H a n k R e i c h m a n , p ro f e s s o r emeritus of history at California State University, East Bay, will discuss free speech and academic freedom at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union.

Reichman released a new book this year on the subject titled, “The Future of Academic Freedom,” which will be for sale at his lecture Tuesday.

He formerly chaired the American Association of University Professors Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure, which has defended academic freedom and free speech for more than a century.

White nationalist Nick Fuentes visited Iowa State in March, generating discourse on how far free speech should go on Iowa State campus.

Fuentes said at the time he was invited to Iowa State by Turning Point USA, which does not have an official student organization on campus.

Then a candidate for the position, and now-Student Government President Austin Graber said at the time he believes allowing the Student Government executive

branch to decide which organizations can exist on campus would “create a very bad precedent.”

New York Times columnist Bret Stephens ‘cc-ed’ the provost of George Washington University on an email to Dave Karpf, an associate professor of media and public affairs at George Washington who

had referred to Stephens as a metaphor for “bedbugs” in a tweet earlier that day, Aug. 26.

Following extensive news coverage of the bedbug incident, Reichman made a blog post defending ac ademic freedom, saying “[i]n conclusion, I think journalist Julia Ioffe gets it about

right,” and embedded Ioffe’s tweet that said “If I had a dollar for every free-speech-on-campus, liberal-snowflake-safe-space-mocking crusader who melted on contact with an opinion contrary to their own, I would have so so many dollars.”

A study released in 2018 found

56 percent of American college studen ts s aid protecting free speech and 52 percent said promoting a diverse and inclusive society are both extremely important to democracy; however, by a 53 to 46 percent margin they said diversity and inclusion was more important than free speech.

Parks celebrates Latinx heritage

BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com Latinx Heritage Month has just begun and events are popping up all across campus to celebrate Latinx culture. One event that may not be on many students’ radars is the Latinx book exhibit in Parks Library.

From Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 the library will have displays of books on Latinx culture and

by Latinx authors. These displays are in two areas on the main floor of the library, one area being a rolling bookshelf near the entrance and the other being the Fireplace Reading Room, where books are displayed in four small alcoves.

The books in the exhibit are available to check out and the library staff will replace them in the exhibit when returned.

“This is an opportunity to promote our collections here,” said Susan Vega García, assistant dean for inclusion and

equity for Parks Library. “We have deep collections in race and ethnic studies and other diversity and inclusion areas, but they tend to be a bit hard for people to find because [the books] are not in one spot. Many of the books are interdisciplinary and are all over the library.”

Due to the nature of the books being interdisciplinary, they are shelved all around the library, meaning there is no current Latino Studies section.

To find a Latino Studies history book a student must go to the history section, and to find a Latino Studies sociology book a student has to go to the sociology section. Vega García said unless someone knows the exact name of a book they can sometimes be hard to find.

Vega García said there are usually close to 100 books in the exhibit at any given time, but as more people check out the books and library staff replaces them with new ones,

the exhibit can grow in size. “ What we do in the Fireplace Reading Room is typically choose four individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the overall theme of the exhibit,” Vega García said. “This time I chose the loose theme of ‘Then and Now,’ kind of aligning with the 25th anniversary of the Latino Studies program at Iowa State. I was thinking back to where Latino Studies used to be nationally 25 years ago and pulled those materials and then pulled more current materials.”

Ve g a G a r c í a s a i d Multicultural Student Affairs loosely partners with Parks Library for this event as a way to get the library involved with the various heritage months throughout the year.

The book exhibits Parks Library puts on through the year are the work of the library’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee.

LOGAN METZGER/ IOWA STATE DAILY Parks Library curated Latinx book exhibits to celebrate Latinx Heritage Month. The displays can be found near the library entrance and in the Fireplace Reading Room.

Before you take the job Important questions we’re not asking

Nominate someone of good character

BY STEWART B. EPSTEIN phenom@mail.com

BY PARTH.SHIRALKAR @iowastatedaily.com It’s the day before the first career fair comes to campus. Like my batchmates, I look forward to the career fair, trying to prep as much as I can in advance. This idea of prep may differ for everyone; mine is drinking a lot of water and practicing my smiles. Career fairs are supposed to be intense and fun — you play your cards right, you land a nice gig, you go home happy.

“The companies are here to hire you,” everyone says. “You just need to find a company that’s the right fit.” And therein lies the rub.

Would you — in all consciousness — seek employment from a corporation whose ethics and principles do not gel completely with yours? As a student who will obviously be seeking employment sooner or later, it is a tad unnerving for me to accept that I shall inevitably be faced with such a dilemma.

I will not be naming names in this piece; rather, I shall attempt to argue why it is important for us — as the youth — to dare and peek beyond the paychecks, to ask questions, to examine our own choices. But to do that, it is important to take a brief look at an incident from the not-so-distant past.

In 2012, an executive at Goldman Sachs resigned for similar reasons, but not before he wrote a scathing op-ed in The New York Times. To paraphrase him, the company was not keen on helping their clients make better decisions in light of making more money for the company itself. Indeed, the company was more interested in redefining the concept of leadership, where it would be defined not by your actions, but your fiscal contributions to the company. And thus people who brought in clients with deeper pockets got promoted and those who stuck to company values and

KIRSTIE MARTIN/ IOWA STATE DAILY Columnist Parth Shiralkar believes students should ask questions regarding morals before considering their first job. Shiralkar references Goldman Sachs and Amazon controversies to support his point.

principles were, well, stuck. This — among other reasons — is a jarring outlook far different than what many of us think is in store for a full-time job opportunity.

Examining a more recent incident, almost 900 Amazon employees have threatened to walk out from the Seattle headquarters, starting at 11:30 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on Sept.

20. The reason for this is Amazon’s absolute silence on climate change. Walkouts of this scale have been growing in frequency recently.

Such acts bring with them a glimmer of hope, but notice that all these walkouts have huge numbers of employees acting in unison. As a singular employee, you might think, what good will one person do?

Again, as the youth, we carry — in part — the burden of choice. Should I choose to overlook

the shortcomings of the corporations or do I speak up against what I feel is wrong? Individual actions do contribute to the big picture, but the first step is always acting. You will find other, like-minded people around you. If you don’t, it’s time to hand in your two weeks’ notice.

At what point do you draw the line? Do you allow little lapses in judgement pass or do you act like it’s okay to sacrifice the well-being of a client for a nice dinner and some expensive wine? Do you turn a blind eye to the actions and choose to stare wide-eyed instead at the paycheck? These are just a few of the questions that need to be asked.

It is but normal that these things are not given consideration when you desperately need a job, but if we don’t ask these questions now, when will we?

It is my expectation that President Trump is going to do all of us a big favor and decide some time in early-to-mid 2020 not to run for re-election partly because of a slow-down in the NIKKI economy.

HALEY When that happens, I hope that the Republicans will nominate someone of good character, such as Nikki Haley or Carly Fiorina.

Personally, I don’t know what I find CARLY to be more despicaFIORINA ble about the guy — the way that he makes fun of and insults people’s physical appearance, or the way that he views women as sex objects.

He has so badly insulted so many groups of people for so long that I fear that we might not ever be able to repair the damage that this man has done to our country. He has been abusive.

The single experience that led me to write a strong letter like this one was when I watched on television a respected African-American political figure be asked “Would you be willing to vote for any Democratic Party nominee over Donald Trump?” She responded, with tears in her eyes, and said, “I would vote for a mop over him.”

That is the exact moment when I knew that I had to write this kind of a letter. This hate-talk of his has gone on for too long.

Don’t wait for tragedy to prioritize our safety

BY ISD EDITORIAL BOARD It has been one year since the tragic death of Iowa State engineering student and Spanish golfer Celia Barquín Arozamena.

Arozamena’s death not only shook Iowa State, but also the athletic community around the country and her home country of Spain.

It’s been a year since students hosted a vigil for Arozamena on campus in her honor. Arozamena was memorialized with Iowa State’s Female Athlete of the Year award during the football game she was supposed to be recognized at. The stands were filled with yellow in her honor.

Pictures of her were put up throughout

engineering buildings on campus. You could feel the community aching together, and to this day we are still recovering.

Part of the reason Arozamena’s death was so shocking was the fact that it happened in broad daylight on a golf course close to campus. This sparked the discussion of safety on Iowa State’s campus and within the Ames community.

In the past year, there have been developments and attempts to try and answer this question. The Iowa State Police Department launched the “Guardian” app, which allows a virtual guardian to walk you home and give others updates on your location. SafeRide, an Iowa State resource that gives students rides around campus, extended its operating hours from 9:30

p.m. to 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. because of increased demand.

As time goes on, it is important to not let the conversation of public safety stop. There does not need to be another tragic event to raise the importance of safety.

We need to be thinking preemptively about issues like this.

Arozamena’s killer, Collin Daniel Richards, was sentenced to life in prison without parole in August. Although he is locked away, that doesn’t mean on campus we forget what happened.

Today, you can see Celia’s initials, CBA, throughout Campustown. We still remember, and we will make sure that no matter how much time has passed, we will always be thinking of her.

It’s all in the details for ISU Cyclones so close, yet so far from next step

BY NOAH.ROHLFING @iowastatedaily.com What could have been a watershed moment for Iowa State was instead a reminder.

Is it a touch dramatic? Well, you’re not writing the column, are you?

Iowa State had plenty of chances to win the game against Iowa on Saturday. There were a few reasons why they didn’t but the most important one was execution under pressure.

Like coach Matt Campbell said after the marathon-of-a-game Saturday night, it was mistakes made at the wrong times that led to another missed opportunity.

The Cyclones had more yards on offense and carved up an Iowa secondary which, while missing multiple starters, is still strong. The Hawkeyes left plenty of openings in their secondary for Purdy and offensive coordinator Tom Manning to scheme to.

But far too often the Cyclones stalled when they had a chance to step on Iowa’s throats. It was the little things: a false start on a fourth-and-three from redshirt freshman Trevor Downing, who was making his first career start at left guard; a holding call on right tackle Bryce Meeker — although video footage of the play revealed the referee’s call may have been a tad harsh — negated what would

have been an automatic first down.

And let’s just not mention the turnover that ended the game.

The worst part of the loss for Iowa State was the familiarity of it all.

This is not to bring back bad memories for Cyclone fans. But the Cyclones — as improved as they are under Matt Campbell, eons above the dark days at the end of the Paul Rhoads era — are clearly missing something that’s keeping them from taking the next step in their rise up the college football ladder.

A lot of it simply comes down to execution.

“It’s our detail and it’s our discipline,” Campbell said postgame. “For us, going back to the drawing board and doing the little things, the main thing is we’re not far off.

“We’ve gotta do a better job, and it’ll start with me,” Campbell said.

His comments on execution ring true, as the reason Iowa continues to see success against the Cyclones is its success in key moments. It’s been four years since Iowa has committed a turnover in the Cy-Hawk game, while the Cyclones have committed five. This stat alone speaks to the lack of execution the Cyclones have suffered from, even under the rise of Campbell.

Obviously this is not me bashing Campbell. He’s a great coach and already one of the best in Iowa State’s history. But getting over the Iowa hump sooner than later will help if he wants to keep growing the Cyclones’ stature.

Big 12 success can help, of course, and this loss doesn’t hinder Iowa State’s championship aspirations in conference play either. But the Iowa game is something which — while some Iowa State fans may deny it — is holding the Cyclones back. Not by

playing the game, but by not winning the game.

The Cyclones have come so far in four years, moving from a laughingstock program to a fringe Top-25 team with legitimate reason to think they can make the conference championship.

But it’s really difficult for programs like Iowa State to break through and make the leap from contenders to championship winners and stay there.

Oklahoma State did it once, but the Cowboys have regressed since and have gone back to being a 6-10 win team on a regular basis — not conference title contenders, but a solid program nonetheless under Mike Gundy.

West Virginia has tried and tried

and tried, but the Mountaineers never reached the Big 12 mountaintop and they now sit in the middle of what could be a long rebuild under new coach Neal Brown.

Kansas State had sustained success in the late 90s and 2000s (bar a blip under Ron Prince) but hasn’t been a Big 12 contender since 2012/2013 — and it led to the retirement of Bill Snyder and a new project in former North Dakota State coach Chris Klieman.

Kansas tasted Orange Bowl glory in 2007 and then fell off of a cliff, only to be still in that cliff today. At least they’re in the helpful hands of young up-and-comer Les Miles, right?

TCU has nearly made the

playoff, won New Year’s Six bowls and they’ve still had difficulty keeping up with Oklahoma.

We’re not going to talk about Baylor.

There have been plenty of Iowa State’s Big 12 cohorts who made the leap only to regress and draw the frustrations of fans. The Cyclones will hope their leap comes soon, because they are close — so close that it will make each small step back hurt even more.

But when or if the leap comes, Iowa State and its fans can’t go chasing ghosts if the Cyclones plateau at 8-9 wins a year.

Just ask Nebraska how its last 20 years have gone.

Defense shines as Iowa State splits weekend

BY NICK.FLORES @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State returned to Ames 1-1 after facing Saint Louis University and Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, bringing its record to 3-5.

DEFENSE STANDS OUT YET AGAIN Iowa State put together another solid defensive performance in its outing at Saint Louis despite the game slipping from them in overtime. The Cyclones defense was very busy on Friday evening, allowing 19 shots with six on goal.

The Cyclones were able to see out all 90 minutes of regulation time without conceding a goal in what was one of their best games defensively. The defensive presence of the Cyclones has been felt by their opposition as they have conceded three goals in their last four games.

In their match against SIU Edwardsville, the Cyclones were able to hold off the Cougars from scoring until the 89th minute when the Cougars scored from a corner kick. Iowa State has had its fair share of games where the opposition has scored within the last 10 minutes, which leaves some questions to be answered about the

Cyclones composure in the closing minutes of matches.

Despite this, the Cyclones still managed to get the win thanks to freshman Mira Emma sealing the game in overtime.

The Cyclones have been on and off on the attacking end of the pitch, but their defense has continued to play at a consistently high level. If the Cyclones can find their feet on the offensive end and stay consistent, they have the tools to pose a challenges for the Big 12’s upper echelon.

ANOTHER LATE GOAL CONCEDED Iowa State has been on the wrong end of a few last minute goals this season. The Cyclones have conceded three goals in the last 10 minutes of matches so far this campaign.

The first occasion came in the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk series when in the 83rd minute Hawkeye senior midfielder Natalie Winters beat junior Cyc lone goalkeeper Dayja Schwictenberg from distance.

The Cyclones have also been exposed late against Creighton University and SIU Edwardsville in the 87th minute and 89th minute respectively.

Two of those three games ended in defeat for Iowa State apart from the match against

SIU Edwardsville, thanks to an overtime winner from Emma. In all three of those games the Cyclones were composed at the back for most of the 90 minutes, which makes one question the reasons for conceding in the dying minutes of the match.

The Cyclones may not be able to put their finger on the exact reasoning for these late goals, but if Iowa State continues down this path of giving up goals late in the game, it will continue to hurt the team’s record. The Cyclones have generally been a solid defensive side and coach Tony Minatta will have to figure out what is happening within the last 10 minutes of matches.

EMMA SCORES AGAIN Emma netted her second regular season goal against SIU Edwardsville as the freshman grows. Emma has had some surprising performances for the Cyclones this season and has earned a spot in the starting 11 in multiple games this season.

Emma scored her first regular season goal against the University of Omaha, giving the Cyclones a 1-0 win.

Emma also decided the match against SIU Edwardsville in overtime to give the Cyclones the momentum they needed heading into next week after conceding to the

CAITLIN YAMADA/ IOWA STATE DAILY Iowa State sophomore defender Taylor Bee kicks the ball in a 1-0 win against Omaha on Sept. 8.

Cougars in the 89th minute.

Emma has showed signs of what she could become for Iowa State, and the team and staff have faith in her to fulfill her potential.

She is a player who is calm on the ball and able to create space for herself and her teammates throughout the 90 minutes.

So far this season, Emma has been a crucial part in the Cyclones’ attack finding their feet, and if she continues to improve and take advantage of her chances, the Cyclones could see an uptick in goals.

COURTESY ALEXANDRA GERLING Alexandra Gerling used to support the Hawkeyes with her family of Iowa fans. Now, Gerling is a freshman at Iowa State and sports Cyclone gear alongside her Hawkeye parents.

The lone Cyclone fans Students shed past Hawkeye identities

BY ISABEL.GEBERS @iowastatedaily.com A University of Iowa onesie.

Tailgates, watch parties, the colors black and gold ever ywhere you look. From an early age, parents teach their children to cheer for and be fans of certain teams. What happens when you were raised as a Hawkeye fan, but 18 years later, choose the opposition and attend Iowa State University?

Two freshmen shed some light on growing up as a Hawkeye and later becoming a Cyclone.

Alexandra Gerling is a freshman majoring in pre-business.

She’s also a Cyclone originating from a family of Hawkeyes.

For Gerling, the realization that she wanted to be a Cyclone came at age 13. Growing up, when her family gathered to watch the Hawkeyes, she felt an internal conflict.

“It ’s pretty much my entire family sitting and watching the game on TV. And my dad yelling for the Hawkeyes. And me sitting there going, ‘When do I tell him that I want to go to Iowa State?’” Gerling said.

The members of Gerling’s family are all “die-hard Hawkeye fans.” So, when it came time for Gerling to tell her family she wanted to go to Iowa State, she was nervous, but she knew they would be supportive.

“My mom and my brother were very excited,” Gerling said.

“My mom had known since I brought it up to her, and she brought me on college visits.

And she was like ‘alright you gotta tell your dad.’ So, I called my dad and was like ‘I got accepted into Iowa State.’ And

he goes, ‘I’m never putting on a Cyclone shirt.’”

However, her dad didn’t hold true to his word. At Christmas, she decided to get each of her family members Cyclone gear.

Her dad wore the shirt the next day, claiming he would never wear it anywhere else. Gerling said that this rivalry will now always be there, but the communal experience of enjoying a football game won’t change.

This past weekend, Gerling’s family and friends came up to tailgate and watch the game.

Gerling was decked out in her Cyclone gear, proudly claiming that she is a Cyclone at heart. She plans to support the Cyclones after college, too, but realizes that the Hawkeyes will always be a part of her family traditions.

Kaila Loew is another lone Cyclone amongst Hawkeyes.

For Loew, Iowa State was the school for her major — apparel, merchandising and design — and since coming here was the best choice for her, her family was supportive in their own way.

Loew said her dad was very upfront with his love for the Hawkeyes. For instance, during Loew’s orientation visit to Iowa State, her dad wore a t-shirt that read, “Partnership to a Cyclone free America” the entire day.

“He was supportive that I’m

here, but he says he’ll never wear red or yellow,” Loew said.

Loew was used to no Cyclone gear being allowed while growing up, as her family always w a t c h e d H a w k e ye f o o t b a l l games and tailgated for their team. She even happened to live in a house near Kinnick Stadium, the University of Iowa’s football stadium, so naturally tailgating was a major part of her family’s traditions; however, for this year’s Cy-Hawk football game, Loew was on the opposite side and enjoyed the festivities of the game with her friends.

Loew described the transition from being a Hawkeye to a Cyclone.

“It’s weird because I was growing up as a Hawkeye, right. I was always taught to hate the Cyclones,” Loew said. “But now, I’ve been wearing Iowa State stuff and I feel a little weird about it, but I’m not a huge football fan. I’m not too into it.”

Although Loew still feels a little strange being different from her family, she enjoys bothering her dad about the rivalry.

“I’m excited to buy house divided stuff and then start slowly putting it up around the house,” Loew said.

W hile L oew loves being a Cyclone, she feels that at heart she’s a Hawkeye, but that her heart might change with time.

COURTESY TREY HEMMINGSEN Cyclone fans who live in Denver gather each weekend to watch football, have fun and cheer on Iowa State.

Cyclones cheer on Iowa State from across the country

BY SIERRA.HOEGER @iowastatedaily.com This past weekend, thousands of fans gathered to watch the long awaited Cy-Hawk game unfold. With the presence of College Gameday in Ames, excitement increased. Chances are, if you live in the state of Iowa, you were either in Ames this weekend yourself, or could count the number on two hands of how many people you knew who were.

However, there are many fans who aren’t able to travel to Ames each weekend. Instead, they gather each game day to watch the Cyclones take on their opponents from the TV screen.

These fans attend game day watch parties and take over the space where they’re watching, filling it with Cyclones left and right.

Located all across the United States, The Alumni Association helps organizers from big cities and small towns alike host watch parties and create a “home away from home” for those who travel post-graduation.

“We have around 7,000 alums in the area,” said Trey Hemmingsen, a watch party host in Denver. “There’s clubs all over the place. They’re awesome for those people who are just moving to the area and want to make some connections.”

Large cities that Cyclones congregate to after graduating have multiple regions where they can meet up and watch the game. In Colorado, there’s four different watch locations across the state.

In Denver, hosts ensure that each and every fan can watch at a spot that’s suitable for them.

“We now have two game watch locations, one that’s more family focused and one that’s the downtown raging bar scene,” Hemmingsen said. “We have both bars at capacity. Last year for this game we saw around 300-350 Iowa Staters at our bars.”

Additionally, hosts do their best to create a community of Cyclones in these metropolitan areas and establish friendships as well as connections.

“We want to greet everyone when they come to the door, we want to let them know ‘Hey, this is your home away from Iowa, you can hang with us anytime,’” Hemmingsen said.

Similar to football games, watch parties bring out a wide range of individuals, whether it be big families or newly graduated 20-something-year-olds looking

to feel the same energy as they did in Jack Trice Stadium.

“We have people who bring their infant children to game watches and then there are people in their 90’s that show up, so we have a huge age range of people — it’s a lot of fun,” said Hemmingsen. “I’m really glad that I became involved.”

Based off of alumni and community interest, game watches can occur in any city, state or region. With 51 national and six international locations, locating one won’t be a problem.

Not only do they gather to watch games together, but they do their best to try and branch out with activities that are unique to their state or region. In Denver? Skiing or attending a cheese-making class could potentially take place on a week that Iowa State isn’t playing or any time you just want to hang out with your fellow Cyclones.

“Our main focus is engagement,” said Alumni Officer Brenden Welch.

“Making sure that these alumni and friends feel like they have a home away from home, where they can connect with other Iowa Staters.”

With the theme of ‘home away from home’ ringing true with those involved, there’s plenty of locations a Cyclone can travel to and still experience that game day feeling.

“It’s not the same as being here,” Welch said. “But I think it’s the best alternative because you’re around a bunch of Iowa State people who just want Iowa State to do well. And more importantly, watch the Hawkeyes lose.’’

While the outcome wasn’t what any Iowa State fan wanted, the feeling and atmosphere surrounding game day can’t be beat.

“There’s something special about the Iowa versus Iowa State game,” Welch said. “Over 80 percent of our clubs are having a game watch for this game, and that’s almost 10 more game watches than last year. The Iowa game is always the biggest game for our clubs to host game watches.”

With a sold-out Jack Trice and thousands of fans for both teams in Ames, there’s no confusion as to why this was the biggest and most anticipated game of the year.

When looking toward the future, have no fear in where you’re going to end up, because there’ll be plenty of other Cyclones there to ensure the feeling of Cyclone Nation never goes away.

CELIA

PG1

first semester, arriving late to the school year having been playing golf.

A civil engineering student in her last year at Iowa State, Barquín Arozamena had Jim Alleman, professor of civil, construction and environmental engineering, as an instructor for several classes in the department. After Barquín Arozamena was killed, Alleman said she had a memorable personality.

“She was incredibly outgoing,” Alleman said at the time. “She had a smile that when she beamed it at you, she just lit up.”

Police arrested Collin Daniel Richards and charged him with murder in the first degree in the killing of Barquín Arozamena.

Richards moved to change his plea from not guilty to guilty in March, writing a letter to the presiding judge saying, “I would like to take care of my case. I would like to do [whatever] it is to move forward ending the case, [plea] of guilty if it takes that [...] Thank you & sorry I do plead guilty.”

Richards plead guilty to the charges in June and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He was ordered to pay $150,000 in victim restitution to Barquín Arozamena’s family in August.

Story County Attorney Jessica Reynolds released a quote from a statement the Barquín Arozamena family gave after the sentencing of Richards. “[A] person is still alive as long as her memory is,” her family said. “During her life, Celia was an example of important values such as effort and constancy in her goals, friendship and love for those around her and a smile and positive attitude when facing daily problems.We cannot think of a better way to pay tribute to her memory than to have those values present in our daily lives in our hearts.”

Reynolds released a message in both English and Spanish that said, “[t]o Celia’s mother, father and brother, my heart breaks for your loss.”

Barquín Arozamena’s killing caused the wheels of government to turn as the public sought answers and the government sought to prevent a repeat of the tragedy. Richards was homeless at the time of Barquín Arozamena’s killing, and an acquaintance of his told police Richards had told him he had “an urge to rape and kill a woman,” police said on Sept.

18, 2018.

Richards was living in a homeless encampment near the Coldwater Golf Links in Ames, where Barquín Arozamena was killed.

The City of Ames created a committee on city safety in the wake of the killing of

IOWA STATE DAILY Coldwater Golf Links created a memorial to honor the late Iowa State student and women’s golfer, Celia Barquín Arozamena. The memorial is located just outside of the 9th hole.

Barquín Arozamena, releasing a report on Public and Employee Safety on City Property in May. Po l i c e C h i e f o f t h e A m e s Po l i c e Department Charles Cychosz noted in the report — released in May —there was a need to continue outreach to those experiencing homelessness.

“Another important area of action for us is a more coordinated effort to reach out to the homeless in our community,” Cychosz said at the time. “We are grateful for our partnership with the Emergency Residence Project … together we have a regular program of outreach in some of the areas where we suspect people may have a camp.”

The City of Ames tweeted late Monday to honor Barquín Arozamena, saying they are lighting U.S. 30 in yellow, her favorite color.

A LEGACY IN ATHLETICS Sept. 17, 2018, is a day that won’t be forgotten for the foreseeable future in Iowa State history, both athletically and legally.

The murder of Celia Barquín Arozamena threw Iowa State into a state of shock, one so strong that the following Saturday felt much more like a celebration of the stricken golfer than a football game.

The marching band played a touching tribute and a video made by John Walters and Cyclones.tv honored the former Cyclone golfer, who was chasing her dream of playing on the LPGA Tour while finishing her degree. At the time of her death she was 22-years-old, and while she had exhausted her playing eligibility, she was ever-present with the Iowa State women’s golf team, practicing with them constantly and serving a mentor role with her fellow “Cyclonitas,” as she liked to call them.

Jamie Pollard helped organize the tributes to Barquín Arozamena on the Akron game day, having been at the front of the situation since the beginning, when he gave a tearful press conference at Hilton Coliseum detailing what happened the day of her death. He said he wanted the celebrations of Barquín Arozamena during the Akron game to be the first step in healing for the Iowa State community.

“This situation, it cuts at the very core of our community, of this institution and of this athletics program,” Pollard said at the presser.

“I know there are many questions, and far few answers. Her legacy is yet to be still defined.”

In the year since then, the Iowa State athletic department has made steps to ensure Barquín Arozamena will not be forgotten at any time.

The most notable honor came in May, when Pollard and the athletic department announced that the university ’s Female Athlete of the Year award would be named in honor of Barquín Arozamena from this year forward.

“We felt this gesture was a significant way to honor forever the amazing legacies — as students and athletes — of two of the brightest stars in Iowa State history,” Pollard said in a press release announcing the award name changes. “Our staff felt it was appropriate and timely to recognize one of our favorite

ISU has also asked the board to consider adding a business analytics major and athletic training masters program to the list of study areas Iowa State offers.

The Council of Provosts and Board office support the approval of both programs, as stated in the agenda.

Implementing athletic training programs will cost $41,500 in the first year and $50,000 the third year, totaling $91,500 altogether, as stated in the request. Business analytics programs will cost nothing within the first seven years to run.

Additionally, ISU has requested to raze the

sons and one of our favorite daughters in the Cyclone family.”

Barquín Arozamena was set to be the recipient of the award in 2018, but her death occurred a few days before she was scheduled to be formally honored during the Akron football game on Sept. 22.

“It is a wonderful tribute to one of the most beautiful persons and best representatives this school has ever had,” said women’s golf coach Christie Martens in the May press release.

“Iowa State was such a special place to Celia and her family was extremely appreciative of this way to celebrate her amazing legacy.”

Her legacy was felt by more than just the women’s golf team — Iowa State legend Gary Thompson said when the names for the awards were announced that “to have my name mentioned with Celia is really special.”

The tributes for Barquín Arozamena were widespread in the sporting community for her impact on the world of golf.

Her golfing hero as a child, 2017 Masters champion Sergio Garcia, said before the 2018 Ryder Cup the European team would be playing for Celia.

Both teams wore yellow ribbons in honor of Barquín Arozamena, with Garcia telling reporters in France at the time that, “I guess the only thing we can do is pay a great tribute to her and make sure her family feels proud of us.”The European team then won the Cup by a score of 17.5 to 10.5, and Garcia set the all-time individual points record with 25.5.

The tributes have continued throughout this year — one of the most decorated athletes in Iowa State history, Bridget Carleton, was named the 2019 recipient of the award bearing Barquín Arozamena’s name in June, a fitting tribute to an athlete the Cyclones will never forget.
