How to tailgate at Iowa State

BY AMBER.MOHMAND @iowastatedaily.com As the first football game kicks off, many Iowa State fans are preparing for their first tailgate. During this time students hangout with friends old and new for various reasons. For those who are new to Iowa State and unfamiliar with tailgating, students have given their advice to getting started.

“I typically tailgate with either a group of my friends or with my family and we usually play games like bags or throw a football and eat some hamburgers and hotdogs while we wait for the game to start,” said Cole Rogers, a freshman in pre-business.

Students typically show up early to the tailgate to play games like “Cornhole,” where

Diversity and representation within a city the size of Ames is important to not only citizens but also its public servants, such as the Ames Police Department. The Ames Police Department LGBTQ Police Liaison is one such attempt at reaching out to and connecting with the marginalized communities in Ames.

Sgt. Chris Crippen is the LGBTQ Police Liaison for the Ames Police Department and has served in that role for the last two years.

According to the Ames Police Department website, the LGBTQ Police Liaison serves as an accessible and approachable liaison to Ames’ LGBTQIA+ community, promotes communication with community stakeholders and assists the department and community in being responsive to LGBTQIA+ related concerns.

“I am a point of contact for people,” Crippen said. “If you have issues pertaining to the community or maybe you are a member of the community and you are intimidated by speaking to the police I am your point of contact.”

Crippen said she has goals of making herself more accessible to the LGBTQIA+ community.

“I think that there has always been a divide between those in law enforcement and those that are in the LGBTQ community,” Crippen said.

“So one of my goals this year has been to been to bridge that gap.”

Crippen said she is looking to work with Ames Pride and other Ames LGBTQIA+ groups to work on engagement events where people can come and meet police officers in a safe and friendly environment.

For further information contact Sgt. Crippen at 515-239-5133 or ccrippen@cityofames.org.

“We should be able to work together and people shouldn’t feel like the police are the enemy,” Crippen said.

CAITLIN YAMADA/ IOWA STATE DAILY One fatality resulted from a two-car accident Wednesday on Highway 30 at State Avenue.

SAGE SMITH/ IOWA STATE DAILY Ames community members voiced their opinions and concerns about the proposed Healthy Life Center Thursday at the informational meeting.

Cause for conflict

Healthy Life Center concerns continue

BY AMBER.MOHMAND @iowastatedaily.com As the voting date to approve the bond referendum for the Healthy Life Center approaches, visitors express concerns for accessibility for all socio-economic status, environmental compatibility and overall costs.

Nancy Carroll, Heartland Senior Services executive director, and Keith Abraham, director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Ames, spoke at an informational meeting about the proposed Healthy Life Center project. The meeting was packed with Ames community members and took place at 4 p.m. Thursday.

Improving the health of Iowa’s population, creating a program accessible to all socio-economic statuses and building social connections for all ages were the key topics during this informational presentation. Another driver for the Healthy Life Center was a warm water recreational pool to accommodate children and older adults after the demolition of the Ames Municipal Pool in 2022.

Visitors have expressed concerns for the costs and reasons for the Healthy Life Center.

One visitor questioned the need to create the Healthy Life Center for a new pool rather

than adding a warm water pool to the Furman Aquatic Center.

Erve Klaas, a community member who attended the informational meeting, said he has concerns about the environmental impact the Healthy Life Center brings.

“Sooner or later this community has to face up to the fact that we have a climate crisis and we have to go to zero emissions within 10 years – starting now,” Klaas said. “I don’t see anything said about whether or not you are using renewable for this facility or whether or not if energy efficient materials are being used in construction. Those have to be considered now, not next year, not in 10 years.”

Abraham said the Healthy Life Center will follow the city regulations for environmental concerns. Visitors have also said they are concerned about the economic accessibility the Healthy Life Center will provide.

The admission cost for the Healthy Life Center is estimated for an annual pass of $275 for children under 17, $550 for adults between the 18 and 61, $350 for adults over 62 and $850 for a household of five. Abraham said there will also be a scholarship program that will be based on Mid-Iowa Community Action guidelines, which is still in the process

of figuring out how much it will offer.

“We will be [giving scholarships] based on how much we have or how much we can get so it could be anywhere from 25 percent – maybe there might even be some cases where we do 100 percent scholarships for individuals,” Abraham said.

Abraham said the exact amount for the scholarship will not be confirmed until the Bond Referendum has been passed.

“I think there are people in Ames or Story County that there is no way they could afford [the admission fee] and yet the information always says this is for all ages and for all incomes,” said Mary Desparol, an audience member of the informational meeting. “That can’t be true then, it can’t be for all incomes unless they get a 100 percent scholarship.”

Desparol said she knows some Ames community members who struggle financially.

“I just know that there are people who have trouble making it from paycheck-to-paycheck, so they can’t afford [the Healthy Life Center],” Desparol said.

The last informational meeting will be Sept.

4 at the Ames Public Library. Eight polls will be open for voting in the Bond Referendum on Sept. 10.

Fatal car crash kills woman

BY ISD STAFF

A fatal crash occurred late Wednesday on Highway 30 at State Avenue.

Ames police tweeted at 7:56 p.m. Wednesday they were working on a “serious vehicle crash” between University Boulevard and South Dakota Avenue, and encouraged people to stay out of the area and find alternative routes.

Iowa State Patrol said the individual who is deceased is affiliated with Iowa State University.

A press release went out early Thursday on the Iowa State Patrol webpage regarding the accident.

One person died in a two-vehicle accident at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday on Highway 30 just west of the State Avenue bridge.

Nancy Dean, 83, of Boone, Iowa, died after her vehicle was hit from behind by a vehicle driven by Taylor McIntire, 22, of Boone, according to the Department of Public Safety report. McIntire sustained minor injuries.

McIntire was unable to stop after Dean reduced speed to a near stop, the report said. The troopers did not know why Dean slowed her vehicle. Dean’s vehicle landed in the median of the highway and McIntire’s vehicle stopped in the north ditch. Both Dean and McIntire were wearing seatbelts.

The crash remains under investigation.

“What they’re looking into is just all the factors that played into the accident, said Iowa State Patrol Trooper Durk Pearston, Iowa State Patrol trooper.

“They’re still trying to figure it all out, what caused the accident.”

Submissions open for ISU calendar

BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State is impacted by many people daily, whether it be through education students, students helping friends or campus involvement. The Women Impacting ISU Calendar is just one way individuals at Iowa State can recognize women for their hard work.

Started in 2007 by the Catt Associates student leadership organization and funded by the Office of the Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion, the Women Impacting ISU calendar was developed as “a tribute to current students, faculty and staff who distinguished themselves through their accomplishments at Iowa State University,” according to

the Catt Center website.

Each year, 12 women from a wide variety of disciplines and diverse backgrounds are selected to appear on the calendar.

Any woman who is currently employed by Iowa State University or is a student at Iowa State University is eligible to be nominated. Faculty and staff nominees must be employed for the calendar year in which they would be honored. Seniors graduating in May of the calendar year in which they would be honored are also eligible.

The calendar is open to anyone who identifies as a woman, including women who are cisgender and transgender.

The calendar features pictures of the honorees along with a short description of their achievements.

According to Kristine Perkins, public relations and student programs coordinator for the Catt Center, 70 women were nominated for the 2019 Women Impacting ISU calendar.

“It felt like we had a lot more than 70 last year because multiple people were nominated multiple times,” said Grace Tuzik, public relations and event management intern for the Catt Center. “It was nice to see how many people were nominated, it was really heartwarming.”

A committee of representatives from Catt Center student programs, previous calendar honorees and members of the ISU community review the applicants and select the honorees.

Some of the things that the committee takes into consideration are contributions made in the

classroom, outstanding service to their unit, community relationships and contributions made among students and professionals at the institution.

S u b m i s s i o n s a re n o w o p e n for nominations for the 2020 Women Impacting ISU calendar.

To successfully submit, nominators will need to upload two letters of recommendation and an optional submission of a resume.

The deadline to submit a nomination is 11:59 p.m. Sept. 27. The nomination form can be found online.

One does not have to work at or be associated with Iowa State to nominate a woman currently employed at or attending Iowa State. According to the Catt Center website, self nominations will not be considered or reviewed.

“It is really important to recognize

all the good things women do here on campus,” Tuzik said. “I think it is important for the women themselves to be recognized because many of them need to feel the spotlight.”

An unveiling celebration is hosted each January to publicly honor the women selected to appear on the calendar. Free calendars are available at the celebration.

Calendars are also available at various campus locations, including the Catt Center (309 Catt Hall).

The women chosen for the 2019 calendar were Ihssan Ait Boucherbil, Tia Carter, Zoey Shipley, Connie Hargrave, Brenda Jones, Mayly Sanchez, Amy Slagell, Laura Bestler, Carmen Flagge, Linda Marticke, Michelle Roling and Denise Williams-Klotz.

Torn down for rebirth Acacia to receive a new house

BY CAITLIN.YAMADA @iowastatedaily.com For a little over 100 years, the Acacia Fraternity House stood at 138 Gray Ave. On July 30, the house, emptied of furniture and memorabilia, was torn down in just four hours.

Acacia Fraternity at Iowa State is undergoing a $5.2 million project to build a new, state-of-the-art house.

The project has been underway since 2013 and is expected to be finished Aug. 1, 2020. Currently, the construction schedule is running two weeks ahead of schedule.

The house had reached the end of its useful life, said Harold Zarr, the Acacians corporate board president.

The overall amenities they wanted to have were not possible with the old structure. Zarr said a lot of alums were sad about the teardown, but are getting excited about the project.

Ryan Whitener, the president of Acacia Fraternity, lived in the house for almost three years. Whitener said there were so many memories made in the house and he recalled walking into the big oak doors to smiling faces.

“It was just home,” Whitener said.

“It was a place where I could feel a sense of community. It felt good to have friends there supporting me.”

Whitener lived in Wilson his freshman year and said the dorms did not have the same sense of community or feeling of home as the house had. He moved around a lot as a child and believes he lived in the Acacia house longer than anywhere else.

Before the house was torn down, the members undertook the task of

COURTESY OF ACACIA FRATERNITY Acacia Fraternity House is in the process of being torn down so that a new and improved house can be built for the fraternity. The house is set to be completed in 2020, and will include space for 42 members, which is 13 more than what it could hold originally.

cleaning the house out. Dressers, beds and a variety of other items were moved into storage.

The most memorable experience for Whitener was taking apart the pool table. “ We knew the pool table was heavy because we would move it around if it was off balance, but when we unscrewed it and took the top off, it was just granite slabs,” Whitener said.

Bed frames were also a challenge when moving out.

“All of the bolts were rusted together,” Whitener said. “[I was] sitting there with a wrench trying to undo those bolts.”

At any given time there were around 20 people moving things out of the house, but the emotional reconciling was the hardest part.

Whitener watched the livestream of the house being torn down through his mom’s Facebook and received photos and videos from his friends there.

“It was kind of surreal, seeing

the big claw tearing it up chunk by chunk,” Whitener said.

The last place Whitener lived in the house was the president’s suite.

Whitener said it was poetic as it was one of the last pieces torn down.

“It’s such a huge time of change for the chapter,” Whitener said.

“Throughout history we’ve been rooted at that house, and all our alumni base has ties to that house.”

The Iowa State chapter of Acacia Fraternity was founded on March 20, 1909. After occupying four

different residencies, it settled at its current location on Aug 1, 1940, according to the Acacia Fraternity Iowa State Chapter website.

The house has helped bring the fraternity members together, and now that they are shifting away from it, they hope to focus more on what ties them together as an organization.

Whitener said it is a transition period that allows them to focus

One Iowa announces new director

BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com One Iowa, an organization advocating for LGBTQIA+ rights in Iowa, announced on Aug. 26 that after a national search it has named Dan Royer as its new executive director.

Royer began leading the organization Sunday.

“The board is delighted that Dan is taking the helm at One Iowa,” said Jenny Smith, the chair of the One Iowa Board of Directors.

“His extensive nonprofit and business leadership, managerial experience and deep knowledge of our state’s healthcare landscape are the right combination to take One Iowa to the next level in our mission to advance, empower and improve the lives of LGBTQ Iowans statewide.”

An Iowa native and Iowa State Alumni, Royer has more than 14 years of experience leading nonprofit organizations, most recently as executive director of the Iowa Alliance in Home Care. Prior to that, he held several leadership roles at the Iowa Hospital

Association. Royer has also served on the Capital City Pride Board and the One Iowa Action Board.

“One Iowa is an incredibly important organization to me personally and has made incredible progress for Iowa’s LGBTQ community,” Royer said. “There is more work to be done, and I’m looking forward to leading the organization and it’s dedicated team to further promote diversity, inclusion and empowerment across the state of Iowa.”

Smith said that close to 20 candidates applied for the position. The candidates were looked over by a hiring committee formed from members of the One Iowa board of directors. The committee narrowed down the search to six individuals with which they then performed phone interviews. From there they only did two in-person interviews with the last two candidates, one of which was Royer.

“Dan brings in a new level of experience with healthcare, he’s been in every hospital in Iowa,” Smith said. “He has experience with the legislature and has sat in on some

key non-profit boards across Iowa. He really envelopes everything we were looking for.”

One Iowa also announced that it is planning on expanding its leadership team with a new assistant executive director role.

Courtney Reyes, currently serving as interim executive director, will be promoted to this position.

“Courtney has the experience, passion and leadership skills to complement Dan’s strengths,” Smith said. “This leadership structure will help us expand our services and reach more LGBTQ Iowans. While we’ve made tremendous progress, the fight for full equality is far from over.”

Royer replaces Daniel Hoffman-Zinnel, who resigned Aug. 7 to pursue another career opportunity.

“This is really exciting for One Iowa, Daniel Hoffman-Zinnel really elevated the organization in a lot of ways but Dan and Courtney will be taking what HoffmanZinnel did and take it to the next level,” said Terri Hale, a member of the One Iowa Board of Directors.

COURTESY OF ONE IOWA One Iowa announced that it has named Dan Royer as its new executive director.

Royer will begin leading the organization Sept. 1.

OPPONENT INFO Northern Iowa Panthers (0-0, 0-0 MVC) Location: Cedar Falls, I.A. Conference: MVC Head Coach:Mark Fraley, 18th year (149-78) Quick Hits: • Northern Iowa has beaten Iowa

State twice in the 2010s, winning in 2013 and in 2016 in Matt Campbell’s first game as Iowa State head coach.

PREVIEW

First game on the horizon Iowa State eager to start season with Panthers BY noah.ROHlfing @iowastatedaily.com It’s been eight months since Iowa State football last got to play against somebody other than itself and eight months since college football was in the national spotlight. And eight months since the Cyclones tasted heartbreak at the hands of Washington State.

So it’s no wonder that the No. 21 Cyclones are pumped up for their season opener Saturday at 11 a.m. against Northern Iowa.

The Panthers have proven to be a tricky proposition for the Cyclones in past years as part of a ever-raging war between Iowa State football and week one. Iowa State has fallen victim to the Panthers more than once in this decade, with defeats in 2013 and 2016 and a 34-14 loss to FCS juggernaut North Dakota State in 2014 among the Cyclones’ many cringe-worthy performances.

This year seems different, though, with the Cyclones getting ranked in the preseason for the first time in 41 years and quickly becoming a trendy Big 12 Championship pick — most notably by ESPN’s Desmond Howard on College Gameday. With that comes expectations, obviously — and one expectation of Iowa State fans is that UNI and its starting quarterback Will McElvain won’t provide a big test.

But Cyclones coach Matt Campbell didn’t seem to buy it.

“I think he presents a great challenge for us,” Campbell said. “I love his leadership, I really love his demeanor.

“It doesn’t surprise me that he’s put himself in a position to help [UNI]. I think it’s a great challenge for our defense.”

McElvain is an interesting case for the

Redshirt Senior Kyle Kempt talks with the ref before the start of the Iowa State vs Baylor football game Nov. 10.

Cyclones defense. The untested redshirt freshman was once a preferred walk-on commitment for the Cyclones in 2017 before a scholarship offer from UNI came along, and he jumped at the chance to earn playing time.

After a redshirt year in 2018, McElvain gets that chance.

As untested as McElvain is, the Cyclones will be going in blind as to what he will do on the field; this will be his first collegiate action.

Junior safety and co-captain Greg Eisworth said playing a quarterback the Cyclones’ don’t have tape on presents an interesting challenge.

“Just gotta kinda know his playing style, just prepare the way we should and that’s about it,” Eisworth said. “It’s kinda tough not having any film.”

But Eisworth said the most important thing about this weekend — besides the win — was getting reps before the Iowa game.

Last season, the Cyclones got about eight

minutes of game action against South Dakota State before inclement weather led to the game’s cancelation. The Cy-Hawk game became the de-facto season opener, which redshirt sophomore tight end Charlie Kolar said led to plenty of unforced errors.

“We had a lot of first-game mistakes last year against Iowa,” Kolar said. “We had a false start on the one-yard line, we had holding calls, we had penalties, stuff that shouldn’t happen in a college football game.

“This year we gotta be more prepared and just come out ready to go.”

Rookie mistakes led to just 188 yards of total offense and a 13-3 loss to the Hawkeyes.

Avoiding those same mistakes is critical to opening the season on a positive note and gelling the offense, which is (as mentioned ad nauseum during the offseason) missing Hakeem Butler and David Montgomery.

Campbell and Manning are hoping that

IOWA STATE DAILY

the offense will adapt a “spread the wealth” strategy, which will attempt to mitigate those losses. And if that’s the case, what better opponent to start the season off than a defense built on presenting multiple looks to the offense?

“Our system allows us to really disperse the football across the field to who’s open and to what the defense is trying to allow us to take advantage of,” Campbell said.

A lineup that feels more settled than at any point during Campbell’s tenure to this point means the Cyclones have been more vocal about wanting to get the season started, with fewer distractions on and off the field.

Senior linebacker Marcel Spears Jr. was especially excited to get out and hit someone other than a teammate.

“I’m pumped, man,” Spears said. “I just wan’t wait to play [UNI] this Saturday.”

It’s been a long eight months, but the time is now for the Cyclones.

PLAYERS 2 WATCH Johnnie Lang

Will McElvain

Johnnie Lang has been mentioned a lot by Campbell leading up to the season, but the redshirt sophomore doesn’t fit the profile of a frontrunner for the job.

McElvain, you might remember committed to Iowa State in 2017 as a walk-on, but later committed to Northern Iowa.

Last season he rushed for less than 100 yards all season and the year before he was granted a medical redshirt. Whatever Lang has done in camp has caught the attention of the coaches, however, so look for him to split carries with any of the five running backs vying for the position, but most likely freshman Breece Hall and redshirt senior Sheldon Croney.

After redshirting his first season, he will play his first college game against none other than the team he was originally committed to.

McElvain is also talented enough to win the starting job at Northern Iowa as a freshman and he will have a chip on his shoulder as he goes up against Iowa State.

GOOD COP vs. BAD COP

BY SAM.STUVE @iowastatedaily.com

BY JACK.SHOVER @iowastatedaily.com

Good Cop — Sam Stuve There’s a lot of hype around this Iowa State football team, and for good reason. Iowa State returns the entire starting five from the offensive line from last season, sophomore quarterback Brock Purdy is back. The Cyclones have four defensive players that are on the All-Big 12 preseason team.

However, the Cyclones cannot afford to overlook Northern Iowa. The Panthers are arguably one of the best teams in the Missouri Valley Conference and are the 18th ranked team in the Football Championship Series.

The question mark for the Panthers is how well redshirt freshman Will McElvain can perform against the Cyclones.

For Iowa State, the biggest thing to watch for is how the skill players contribute on offense.

The Cyclones’ senior Deshaunte Jones and sophomore Tarique Milton from last season and Arkansas transfer La’Michael Pettway will be the other starting receiver.

With Purdy throwing the ball, Iowa State should be able to run away with the game in the second half.

Running back will be a position to watch as freshmen Breece Hall and Jirehl Brock, sophomore Johnnie Lang, junior Kene Nwangwu and senior Sheldon Croney Jr. all are quality starting running backs.

For the opening game, Croney Jr. is listed as the starter.

Northern Iowa will get a couple of scores but Iowa State should win this game handly.

Prediction: Iowa State 38, Northern Iowa 14

Bad Cop — Jack Shover In Matt Campbell’s tenure at Iowa State, the team is 1-1 against in-state opponent Northern Iowa after not playing the Panthers last season.

Despite a new quarterback and the Panthers having to replace their top running back, Iowa State also has a host of question marks on the offensive side of the ball.

Brock Purdy was good in his freshman year, but against Northern Iowa -expect Purdy to struggle as he learns to play without the safety nets that were Hakeem Butler and David M o n t g o m e r y. No r t h e r n Iowa could very well be the beginning of a sophomore s l u m p f o r P u rd y, w h i c h would severely handicap the Cyclone offense.

With five players in contention for the starting running back spot, lookout for any one of the players to take themselves out of contention with a costly fumble.

Overall, Iowa State will be sloppy over on the offensive side of the ball and will give the young Northern Iowa offense plenty of opportunities to score.

With so many opportunities to score the ball — and a wide open play book — the Panthers will throw the kitchen sink at the Iowa State defense and surely convert in the end zone, but despite a turnover bonanza

by Iowa State, the Cyclones will still win narrowly -albeit horribly.

Prediction: Iowa State 16, Northern Iowa 14

On paper, this should be simple. Iowa State is a good Big 12 team, and Northern Iowa is a decent-to-good FCS team. Obviously, college football is never that simple, and I would expect that early on in this game the Panthers will make Iowa State sweat a little bit.

Campbell’s charges have come a long, long way from the team that lost to the Panthers, and I don’t see them making the mistakes necessary to give UNI a lifeline in this one. The second half will consist of the Cyclone defense shutting down former Iowa State walk-on commit Will McElvain and Iowa State enters the incoming bye week without any disastrous outcomes.

Iowa State 24, UNI/Northern Iowa 13

This may seem like too close of a game, but Iowa State’s offense started off slow last season and 11 points is still a significant margin to end a football game. Simply speaking, Iowa State is a better football team than Northern Iowa and this game will show that. Look for a slow start for the Cyclones if they struggle to find consistency in the run game and fail to find a reliable option among the receivers, but their defense and overall talent should prevail. Special teams was a negative last season for Iowa State, so if that hasn’t been shored up then that might be the key to a Panthers upset.

I see it as a slow game with not much offense, but I don’t think the Cyclones make too big of a mistake to cost them the game against quarterback and old friend Will McElvain and the Panthers. Iowa State takes this one.

Iowa State 27, UNI/Northern Iowa 10

In terms of season openers, Northern Iowa is exactly who Iowa State needs to see to begin their season.

Matt Campbell has talked all preseason about wanting to put his players in high leverage situations against real competition to see what this team really has.

Northern Iowa fits that bill.

UNI is experienced on both sides of the ball, with the Panthers returning 16 starters from last year’s FCS Playoff team, eight from each side of the ball.

However, they lost their three year starter at quarterback in Eli Dunneand will put redshirt freshman Will McElvain in his first career start against Iowa State on Saturday.

What a tough way to begin your college career.

I think this is a pretty obvious pick. Iowa State has some strong players and though Northern Iowa will put up a solid fight, the preseason efforts of Iowa State will ultimately win out in the end. I’ve also never seen a panther win in a fight against a cyclone in the real world, so that’s something to chew on.

Cyclone’s career not over

Continued growth

Kempt steps back onto field after injury

Cyclone spirits high after preseason win

BY MATT.BELINSON @iowastatedaily.com Just over a year ago, when Iowa State officially kicked off their 2018 football season with a trip to take on in-state rival Iowa, Cyclone fans thought the opening game of the season would bring on a new beginning and a fresh start for the program.

But by the time the clock hit zero and Iowa State was handed its first loss of the season, it was already the end for one player’s strarting role for the Cyclones. That player was Kyle Kempt.

Kempt, a walk-on for Iowa State in 2016, came into the 2018 season looking to finish his final year of eligibility as the starting quarterback on the depth chart after having one of the most memorable seasons a Cyclone quarterback has had in 2017.

Kempt became a household name in Ames in 2017 after he led the Cyclones to two upset wins over No. 3 Oklahoma in his first career start and a win over No. 9 TCU three weeks later.

Kempt threw for 343 yards and three touchdowns for Iowa State against the Sooners and ended the 2017 season with 15 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.

So when Iowa State began their 2018 season at Iowa, Kempt entered the game as the starter moving forward.

However, Kempt suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter, resulting in Zeb Noland having to finish the game for Iowa State.

Once Noland took over as quarterback, Kempt would only attempt 10 more passes at Iowa State with younger quarterbacks Noland

and Brock Purdy starting the rest of the games for the 2018 season.

Kempt’s final season for the Cyclones was virtually over after one game. After a Cinderella 2017 season, Kempt was stuck in the backup role, leading from the the meeting room and the sidelines.

“Getting hurt and going through that situation, it opened another door for me,” Kempt said. “I am just thankful I was able to find something great out of that situation. I am passionate about this and really excited to help the team out.”

The opportunity Kempt is so passionate about was announced earlier this summer, when head coach Matt Campbell announced that Kempt and Joel Lanning would be returning to the program as quality control assistants.

Campbell announced Kempt would be returning to help the offense as a whole and mentor Brock Purdy as he transitions into being the full-time starter for the Cyclones at

quarterback in 2019.

“Obviously we all talk about Kyle and what happened with Oklahoma,” Campbell said. “I see Kyle’s greatest asset and moment as when he got hurt and then he turned on his natural ability to mentor and coach Brock and take a back seat and say ‘I’m going to help you wherever you want to go.’”

Campbell said that Kempt has been a leader and staple of the program since the first day he arrived. Kempt’s love for the game and natural ability to coach are things that are clear to see, he added. “[Kempt] has the right heart and mentality to coach,” Campbell said. “He has the right type of leadership that has allowed our team to grow immensely.”

When the announcement came in July, Campbell said that both Kempt and Lanning had expressed long term interest in coaching.

Campbell said at the time that returning to Ames will allow both of them to grow and

kick start their potential new paths as coaches in college football.

“This will be a great first step for them as they initiate their coaching careers and they will be a valuable asset to our coaching staff and players,” Campbell said.

Helping his teammates was on Kempt’s mind before he even came close to starting for the Cyclones, but after the knee injury cut his final season at Iowa State short, he realized that helping his teammates develop was something he would want to do.

Kempt’s desire to help his teammates paid off, as he took then-freshmen Purdy under his wing and played a huge role in his historic rookie season. With Kempt’s help, Purdy set an NCAA record in passing efficiency (169.9) for a first-year quarterback.

“When I wasn’t the starting quarterback I always found a way to help out the other guys in the quarterback room,” said Kempt. “When I got hurt in my final year, I got the opportunity to help coach in the QB room with Coach [ Joel] Gordon. That’s when I realized this was something I really wanted to do.”

Once the 2018 season came to and end, Kempt’s time with Iowa State football might have been over, but the NFL came calling.

Kempt was invited to attend New Orleans Saints rookie minicamp this summer but did not make the roster once cuts were made for rookies and undrafted invites.

While he did get a ‘no’ from the NFL, Kempt’s pursuit of sticking around the game only grew until he found his way back to the place that his football story reached its greatest impact — Iowa State.

Kempt is just happy to give back to a program that has provided him a chance to play college football at a high level and under leadership that has had a major impact on his life.

“With all of the events that have happened with coach Campbell helping me out, I now have the chance to give back to the program that gave me so many opportunities,” Kempt said. “To be able to work under a coach as great as coach Campbell, who is considered one of the best in the nation, is really special.”

Iowa State shifts focus to new season

BY jack.shover @iowastatedaily.com Coming off of the volleyball preseason, Iowa State’s young roster has plenty of reason to be excited entering the 2019 season after beating No. 18 Creighton in an exhibition game and showing continued growth.

The team will look to continue their hot start, which began before the season even started, when they travel to Mississippi to play the Central Florida (UCF) Knights on Friday and the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday at the Rebel Invitational in Oxford, Miss.

The teams played five consecutive sets despite the Cyclones taking the first three, which would have ended the game in a regulation match.

Redshirt sophomore Avery Rhodes’ biggest takeaway from the match was the Cyclones’ ability to hold their own with the Bluejays. Josie Herbst, the only senior on the roster, noted how the Cyclones didn’t let Creighton runs destroy Iowa State’s momentum — an issue which plagued Iowa State during the 2018 season — and the team continually battled for points.

Coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said that as a team the Cyclone defense and block looked solid, but the team’s passing needs to improve and the team needs to figure out how to find more quality looks on the attack with the hitters. Entering the regular season, Iowa State will use a large quantity of hitters to try to fill the void left by the team’s top two point scorers last year — Jess Schaben and Grace Lazard, both of whom graduated.

Of those players battling for swings and also for back row positions, seven will be freshmen, creating a youthful roster with plenty of

potential, but no go-to options.

Rhodes echoed advice for the younger players, who may not always see the court due to the amount of players vying for playing time.

“They just have to know if they don’t touch the court this time, they will just have to keep working hard, just being a team player, just smiling because when you have your time it’s going to feel amazing after doing all those little things,” Rhodes said.

One would expect the team’s freshmen to be leaps and bounds behind the other players, but despite occasional mistakes, the freshmen have been able to acclimate themselves quickly and have seen day-to-day growth, which has been noticed by Johnson-Lynch and experienced players like Rhodes and Herbst.

With the unique youthfulness of the team, Johnson-Lynch said she likes the current makeup of the roster, which will allow the team to improve throughout the season.

Digging into this century’s top three Cyclone openers Hello, friends. Welcome to my inaugural weekly column centered around football, baseball, basketball or whatever other sport I feel like talking about.

As this week comes to a close, the college football season takes center stage. There are few things greater than the start of football season, and this year is no exception.

Week one represents the beauty of college football. Sometimes a top team flexes its muscles and turns in a 70-10-type of beatdown, sometimes two ranked teams battle it out until the final buzzer and sometimes a struggling but storied program proves it’s back to national prominence (until Texas lost to a 2-10 Kansas, lest we forget).

While Iowa State’s 2019 schedule features an underwhelming matchup against Northern Iowa as its opener, the Cyclones have a history of nail-biting openers since 2000.

From a Cy-Hawk opener last season to FCS losses in week one, I

sifted through the last 18 openers and selected the top three games to kick off the season.

3. 2011: Iowa State over Northern Iowa, 20-19 A weird 2011 campaign began with a one-point win over the Panthers.

Some may scoff at a one-point win over an FCS team, but the Cyclones have struggled against small schools in recent history and the Panthers possessed their fair share of talent — primarily current Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson.

Iowa State played pretty poorly in the win, as they lost the turnover battle, had less time of possession and gained fewer yards and first downs.

Looking at the bigger picture, the Cyclones also built off the win by knocking off Iowa a week later in a crazy shootout led by Steele Jantz. In 2011, Iowa State needed every win it could get — including the upset over then-No. 2 Oklahoma State — to get bowl eligible, so every win, even a one-point win over Northern Iowa, was of major importance.

2. 2006: Iowa State over Toledo, 45-43

IOWA STATE DAILY Brock Purdy and Charlie Kolar celebrate after a touchdown Nov. 10.

Before Matt Campbell coached a game at Toledo or Iowa State, the Cyclones and Rockets collided for a helluva game to open 2006.

The game marked Dan McCarney’s last opener as an Iowa State coach, but McCarney got his money’s worth in the Thursday night game that lasted three overtimes on top of regulation.

Entering the fourth quarter with Iowa State leading 20-15, the game appeared to be setting up for a low-scoring final. Then Iowa State tacked on a field goal, the Rockets added a touchdown and a two-point conversion to knot the score at 23 and

send it to overtime.

In the overtime sessions, Atlantic, Iowa native Bret Meyer caught fire, scampering for a 10-yard score, linking up with Todd Blythe for a pair of touchdowns and rushing in the game-winning two-point conversion.

The season later fizzled out on the Cyclones, but the overtime flurry remains memorable 13 years later.

1. 2002: Florida State over Iowa State, 38-31 Having No. 3 Florida State on the ropes with a chance to tie or win the game with less than 15 seconds left and Seneca Wallace playing out of his

mind. What more could you ask for?

Well, I guess competent officiating or video replay, but Iowa State benefitted from neither one of those options in 2002.

While this is a sour memory in many Cyclone fans’ memories and one of the many instances of officiating errors Iowa State fans complain about, the game still had plenty of drama and greatness.

If Seneca is ruled in and Iowa State converts a two-point attempt or wins in overtime, this game goes down in the top 5 all-time games for Cyclone fans. Instead of “Seneca was in!” it’d be a highlight almost to the level of “The Run”, which occurred later in the season.

Despite the deflating loss to start the year, Iowa State still shined at points. The Cyclones rattled off six wins in a row, including wins over Iowa and Nebraska, and jumped up to No. 9. Iowa State’s season ended as it started, though: in disappointment. The Cyclones lost six of their last seven games, including the Humanitarian Bowl against Boise State.

before developing a de facto lineup, but the schedule will reveal any warts or bright spots.

To start off that tough non-conference schedule, Iowa State will square off against UCF and Ole Miss.

Iowa State beat Ole Miss, which went 14-18 last season, in straight sets last season, but didn’t face the Knight, a team which made the NCAA Tournament and finished with a record of 27-3.

Johnson-Lynch said UCF will be a challenge as the team returns virtually every player but their libero. She also said the Golden Knights operate ‘like a machine’ and looking at their record through three, four and five sets -- the Golden Knights seem to improve as the match goes longer. They have a record of 11-2 through three sets, 11-1 through four and a perfect record of 5-0 when the match goes five sets.

If Iowa State is able to compete with UCF and beat Ole Miss, it will bode well for the growth of the team with competitive matches — like Penn State and Louisiana State (LSU) — on the schedule before the Big 12 even starts.

Carleton signed by Minnesota Lnyx BY matt.belinson @iowastatedaily.com

Bridget Carleton is a free agent no more.

The Minnesota Lynx announced Thursday they were signing the former Iowa State women’s basketball star until the end of the season.

Carleton was released by the Connecticut Sun earlier this season after being selected 21st overall in the 2019 WNBA Draft on Apr. 10. The Lynx signed Carleton to a one-week contract on August 22.

Carleton was named the Big 12’s Player of the Year in the spring, following a season at Iowa State that saw her put up 21.7 points (on 46.8% shooting), 8.6 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 35 games.

She was also selected as the 2019 winner of the Cheryl Miller Award, honoring the nation’s best small forward and earning her a spot on the Naismith Starting Five.

She completed her career with the Cyclones ranking second on the school’s all-time scoring list (2142 points) and first in scoring average (17.3 ppg).

Iowa State fell short to the University of Iowa in a 2-1 defeat thanks to a goal from Hawkeye Natalie Winters in the dying minutes of the match.

This year ’s edition of the Cy-Hawk series match was exciting from start to finish, with both teams playing at a high intensity down to the final whistle.

The first half ended scoreless but the Hawkeyes were continuing to pressure the Cyclones’ defense and test junior goalkeeper Dayja Schwichtenberg, ending the half on 12 shots — with five shots on goal.

Meanwhile, the Cyclones found difficulty sparking any chances, finishing the half with two shots, with one on goal.

The Hawkeyes continued to create scoring opportunities in the second half, but were not able to find the back of the net while the Cyclones were still struggling to create any chances.

The goal ending the stalemate came in the 68th minute from Hawkeye sophomore Jenny Cape as she flicked a back-heel into the back of the net to put the Hawkeyes ahead.

The Iowa State Cyclones came out on top in their exhibition against the No. 18 Creighton Bluejays, but now their focus has shifted to the regular season at full strength.

Iowa State started last season with a 6-2 record but hit a rough patch in September and in the first couple of days of October, which saw them go 3-8 in that stretch.

The Cyclones finished the season with a 21-13 record (9-7 Big 12) and missed out the NCAA tournament, but they did win the 2018 National Invitational Volleyball Championship.

Looking back before moving forward Iowa State got off on the right foot by winning its exhibition game against the Bluejays 3-2 in Ames.

“We all played well together, we didn’t let any points get us down and we kept on fighting,” said senior outside hitter Josie Herbst.

“They are always a super tough team, so to take three out of five sets against them has left us with a really good feeling.”

In the exhibition game, the Cyclones won the first three sets (26-24, 25-19 and 25-21), which in the regular season would mean they would have won the match 3-0. But since it was an exhibition game, both teams agreed to play five sets no matter what.

“It was a really good first match; we saw some good things,” Iowa State head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said. “Our block and defense were really good.”

Oxford, Mississippi, is the first destination as the Cyclones will take on the Central Florida Knights at 3 p.m. on Friday and the Ole Miss Runnin’ Rebels on Saturday at 12:30 p.m.

Avery Rhodes back at full strength

IOWA STATE DAILY

The Cyclones responded in the 83rd minute with a goal from freshman Abbey Van Wyngarden from outside the box, bringing the Cyclones and Hawkeyes even.

The draw did not last long, as seven seconds later the Hawkeyes swiftly replied with their own outside of the box strike from senior midfielder Natalie Winters.The goal ultimately sealed the game for Iowa.

Although the Cyclones fell short they did manage to pick up the intensity in the second half and tested the Hawkeyes on numerous occasions.

The Cyclones now fall to 1-2 on the season while the Hawkeyes improve to 3-0. The Cyclones will look to bounce back f on Sunday afternoon as they’re set to face a 3-0 Purdue team at home.

Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m and TV coverage will be provided from Cyclones.TV.

Last season redshirt sophomore middle blocker Avery Rhodes played in the first nine matches of the season and played in 30 sets for the Cyclones.

However, Rhodes season was cut short after the third week of the season due to a recurring hip injury.

Rhodes, a Waco, Texas native, appears to be at full strength and is back in Iowa State’s starting rotation.

“She looks 100% right now, she’s jumping as well as, if not better than, she was as a freshman,” Johnson-Lynch said.

In her nine games played last season, Rhodes had 59 kills and scored 79.5 points for the Cyclones.

Despite not playing much due to injury, Johnson-Lynch said that Rhodes still learned a lot and is a vital part of the team.

Iowa State’s exhibition against Creighton was the first time that Rhodes has stepped on the court in a match for Iowa State in nearly a year.

“I’m feeling good and I feel like I did really well against a big team,” Rhodes said. “They were the team I debuted against my freshman year and playing against them is always really good for me.”

‘Me Too’ men resurface Women face consequences as a result BY emily.BERCH @iowastatedaily.com Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a leading Congressional voice on women’s rights, ended her bid for president Wednesday after failing to qualify for the third presidential debate.

Gillibrand was famously the first Democratic senator to call for Democratic then-Sen. Al Franken’s resignation after eight women accused him of sexual harassment and groping. While other Democratic senators quickly followed, several have since said they were too harsh on Franken and blamed Gillibrand for knocking a rising star in the Democratic Party out of congressional politics.

Throughout her eight-month candidacy, Gillibrand

repeatedly cited her position in Franken’s resignation as a reason many establishment donors ignored her, both in campaign memos and interviews.

Meanwhile, as Gillibrand bows out of the race, Franken is returning to public speaking.

Although his time in office is over, it will certainly serve as a point of interest in his speaking engagements — earning him a profit.

Franken isn’t the first man accused of sexual misconduct to resume careers in the public eye. Aziz Ansari released a new Netflix special in July. Louis C.K. also returned to comedy less than a year after allegations surfaced against him.

There have been others who have seen little, if any, repercussions. The past three years have proven that sexual assault allegations aren’t enough to stop a person from being elected president or earning a seat on the Supreme Court.

The deepest irony — at least for me — comes from one reason people often give into excusing the accused men: “she’s just accusing him for the fame.”

According to Business Insider, more than 20 women have accused President Donald Trump of sexual

misconduct. Can you name even half of them? I can’t.

One of the most famous accusers of the Me Too era, Christine Blasey Ford, certainly has not earned public popularity for her role. According to NPR, she continued to receive threats after her Senate hearing. She’s had to move multiple times and she has not been able to return to her job as a professor.

The point is: we can all name men who have made headlines throughout the Me Too movement — Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, Kevin Spacey. The accusers, however, fall to the bottom of the news stories and the backs of our minds. As a result, they face a particularly heinous set of repercussions for speaking out, whether as a victim or on behalf of one.

The news media has a responsibility to fairly and accurately cover these allegations, without the reporters making their own judgements on these situations.

However, they also have a duty to those whose stories they are telling — to value both the vulnerability and the bravery in speaking out against someone in a position of power.

And when speaking about these issues, we all have to value those stories over politics and celebrity.

Don’t let expectations ruin your reality BY annelise.wells @iowastatedaily.com As the first weekend of the school year approaches, it can be easy to get wrapped up in what you think you “should” be doing on a Friday night. Television shows and movies often portray weekends as one long non-stop party as soon as classes are out for the weekend.

As students, sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves to be doing what everyone else is doing. Especially for incoming students, you may feel like you need to be doing something stereotypically “college” with your weekend or else you are wasting your time.

But this is a reminder that during college you get to spend your time the way you want to spend it, and you shouldn’t spend it doing things just because you think you should be. You should spend your time focusing on yourself and what makes you happy, not what others are up to.

If going to parties and staying out late is your idea of a perfect weekend, then plan your weekend full of social activities. But if it isn’t, don’t feel guilty if all you want to do is have a date with your favorite Netflix show and your cat. Don’t feel pressured to change your lifestyle based on what you see others doing on Snapchat or Instagram.

For incoming students who have this set idea of what their college experience is going to be like, I encourage you to be flexible with yourself. Don’t say no to experiences just because they aren’t in your “plan” that you have in your head.

Especially if you are a freshman, you are not going to have everything figured out right away, and that’s part of the fun of the college experience.

It’s way more worth it in the long run to focus on what you want to be doing rather than what you think is “expected” of you. You truly aren’t “expected” to do anything. In other words, don’t let expectations ruin your reality.

Recipes COURTESY OF IOWA STATE EXTENSION AND OUTREACH JORDYN DUBOIS/ IOWA STATE DAILY For students new to renting and the culinary world, facing the kitchen may be overwhelming.

I have a kitchen, now what?

Student Wellness dietitian, students offer advice BY jordyn.dubois @iowastatedaily.com

Students are back and settling into their places, and for those new to apartment living, the question may arise: What do they do with their new kitchen?

Lisa Nolting, a registered dietitian and member of the Student Wellness office, said, “Spend Smart. Eat Smart.” is a good resource that she recommends to students.

Found on the Iowa State Extension and Outreach website, the “Spend Smart. Eat Smart.” blog is a helpful resource for students looking for easy and cost-efficient recipes. The blog offers many resources including meal planning, shopping tips, recipes and more.

For first time kitchen owners or renters, you can find how-to videos to guide you in the meal making process. There are also videos sharing tips and tricks for getting motivated.

“The recipes are low cost and can easily be made in an apartment,” Nolting said. “The meals and recipes are also balanced and contain multiple food groups.”

Meals on the website range from snacks and desserts to main dishes, as well as slow cooker

meals and meals that can easily be frozen.

For the upperclassmen that have had a kitchen to take advantage of over the years, many have learned a thing or two.

Aerielle Burnett, a senior in dietetics, said, “Cooking is learning how to nourish our bodies everyday. My advice for anyone who is just starting to learn how to cook in a college environment is that meal prepping is a life saver.”

For other students, the dive into the cooking and kitchen world on their own wasn’t quite as successful. Some have shared those disasters in the kitchen and offer advice to new cookers.

“Watch expiration dates!” said Sydney Kirschner, a sophomore in industr ial engineering.

Rachel Feikema, senior in public relations, said, “Make sure to double check that your plates are microwave safe. When I was a freshman I threw a delicious and nutritious hot pocket into the microwave on a plate. I took it out after that lovely *BING* and couldn’t even eat it because the plate melted to the hot pocket.

“How to cook when you’re poor … peanut butter and jelly, that’s all you need,” said Henry Pham, a senior in kinesiology and health.

No matter the level of skill or amount of time spent in the kitchen, either in an apartment or rented house, your first kitchen will surely be full of memories and adventures.

AFTERDARK

PG1

Dobrik is a YouTube personality and actor best known as the leader of “The Vlog Squad” on YouTube. Dobrik first became an internet personality on the social media platform Vine before creating a YouTube channel in late 2014.

Now with over 13 million subscribers, Dobrik is one of the most well-known “YouTubers” out there. His high-energy videos usually entail him and his friends from The Vlog Squad performing pranks on each other, capturing each other’s reactions, telling stories from their lives and buying each other gifts.

In 2017, Dobrik won the “Vlogger of the Year” award at the ninth Shorty Awards and “Breakout Creator” at the seventh Streamy Awards.

Dobrik has recently made his way onto the big screen with his voice acting role as Axel in “The Angry Birds Movie 2” as well as an appearance alongside the YouTube starstudded cast in “Airplane Mode.”

Steven Chounlamany, one of the Special Events co-directors of the Student Union Board (SUB) said that Dobrik is going to be giving a moderated Q&A. “We’re expecting a lot of people to come out for David,” said Linda Tong, co-director of Special Events at SUB. Preceding Dobrik will be actress and comedian Jackie Tohn. Tohn is best known for her work on the Netflix original show “GLOW,” where she portrays Melanie “Melrose” Rosen. “GLOW ” stands for “Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling” and is a fictional television show about the early days of women in professional wrestling that Melrose wrestles and performs in.

players take turns throwing small bean bags with the goal of getting it into a hole.

They also show up hours early to find a parking spot or find a group to tailgate with.

Griffin Meyer, a sophomore in culinary food science, said he joined the Culinary Science Club to eat and play games – typically he’s not there to drink.

“The ones I go to there’s a lot of food, there’s tents, there might be alcohol flying around that doesn’t end up in my hands – I even met President Wendy Wintersteen at the last [tailgate],” Meyer said.

For those who are 21, bringing alcoholic drinks can factor into the fun of the event, but drinks must be “appropriate to tailgating.” Attendees should avoid bringing glass bottles, as they have a tendency to break.

“It’s just a huge mass of people and they’re all barbecuing,” Meyer said. “Some of them spend the night there and some of them have come two days before [the football game] – I mean it’s kinda crazy people have TVs set up in their trailers.”

For those who are planning to host a tailgate there are designated areas and fees to pay before the game starts. The parking prices for cars are $20, motorcycles $5, RVs $40 and buses are $50. There is also general parking for home football games.

The City of Ames parking division released a notice about game day parking and the increased parking fines on illegal parking. Illegal game day parking in the neighborhoods near Jack Trice Stadium have created public safety concerns by congesting the residential streets and blocking driveways and intersections.

Due to the safety concern, parking fines have been increased from $20 to $40, 6 a.m. to midnight on home football game days. On game days, over 500 signs will be posted in the affected neighborhoods.

The designated parking lots for the general public can be found on the Iowa State Parking Division website.

Tohn has previously appeared in Seth Rogen’s web TV series, “The Boys,” and Michael Shur’s TV show, “The Good Place”. “ J ac k i e ’s a c om e d i a n a n d mu s i c i a n who incorporates music into her acts,” Chounlamany said.

When choosing acts to come for these events, Tong said they try to choose stars who will bring in the crowds.

“I get to be this powerful, warrior, wrestler version of myself that I didn’t even know was in me,” Tohn said in response to why GLOW is an important show in 2019. “But we also get to be emotional, deep, story-telling actresses.

It’s exceedingly rare.”

In addition to being an actress, Tohn also is a comedian.

“I don’t think there’s anything easy about performing stand-up,” Tohn said in response to maintaining a career in comedy. “The whole thing is kind of bizarre. It’s fabulous.”

A surprise guest performance by lovelytheband will be happening prior to Tohn’s performance. This is an AfterDarkexclusive show you will not find anywhere else. lovelytheband is an American indie pop band that originally formed in 2016. The band consists of lead vocalist Mitchy Collins, guitarist Jordan Greenwald and drummer Sam Price. Their song “Broken” charted on several US Billboard charts upon its release in 2017.

Collins’ band tends not to shy away from singing about topics that are commonly seen as taboo, such as mental illness and heartbreak. Their songs “Broken”, “alone time” and “Pity Party” all talk about anxiety and the stigma surrounding it in music.

“I f--- heavily with college shows,” Collins told the Daily last year when lovelytheband performed at the Great Hall. “I never went to

college so I live vicariously through everyone every time I go to one.” lovelytheband’s last outing at Iowa State drew an engaging crowd with heavy fan interaction. College students are among lovelytheband’s most frequent listeners, which is what Collins said makes the shows more enjoyable. The band eagerly interacted with the crowd to make the show a personal experience that fans clearly appreciated.

L ovelytheband is currently on their international tour “Finding It Hard to Smile.”

After visiting Iowa State they will be at The University of Texas at El Paso on Friday.

SUB puts on multiple free ISU AfterDark events per semester. In addition to the performers, AfterDark offers a variety of other free activities for students to enjoy.

booth, a mechanical bull, bingo, video games and a Workspace Craft featuring animal keychains to enjoy before, during and after the performances.

on their ideals and build a better relationship with the community through community service.

Many of the members currently live in the Madison apartments.

“We don’t have a home anymore so it’s making the community our home,” Whitener said.

Whitener said they are also focusing on the pillars they stand on as an organization, such as scholarship and communit y involvement.

Since the beginning, the members have been an integral part of the planning process. The undergraduate members drove the design and the board made sure it met other requirements. In 2013, the undergraduates laid out what they wanted and nine different architectural firms were interviewed.

The fraternity settled on SB & A Architects, located in Ames.

The firm went through three or four initial designs with the members before finalizing it.

“95 percent of the design today is what the undergraduate members envisioned at that time six years ago,” Zarr said.

The most heated topic of debate within the chapter for amenities was the milk machine committee.

“There are tough discussions, but I have never seen the active chapter so riled up as when we were talking about the milk machine,” Whitener said.

Whitener said people were up in arms over whether they needed a three spout machine, a two spout, whole milk or two percent, chocolate or strawberry milk. Whitener decided to create a committee that met four or five times.

The new house will have a

capacity of 42 men, which is 13 more than the old house. It will also feature a full kitchen along with kitchenettes on each floor, a state-of-the-art Wi-Fi system, a parking lot, video surveillance and a classroom.

When designing the house, the primary concern was academic success. Around 38 percent of the house is designated study and library space that includes whiteboards and TVs for collaboration.

The fraternity set a goal of $3.4 million in alumni donations, and are currently a little bit above $3.2 million. The rest of the funding will be borrowed from a bank.

The chapter currently has 19

active members. With the new building, Zarr said they anticipate having between 50 to 55 in house and out of house members.

Acacia Fraternity at Iowa State has the ultimate goal of raising $10 million to offer full ride scholarships to anyone who joins their fraternity.

“We believe amenity-wise and cost-wise, we’re going to be the equal, if not better, than virtually any other property, including some of the university properties that are available at Iowa State,” Zarr said.

Whitener said the atmosphere of the house is going to be one of the coolest parts.

When Whitener joined Acacia

Fraternity, he was invited to a Super Bowl party. While watching the game, Whitener met 15 or 16 different people and hit it off with all of them.

“I never felt so connected to people,” Whitener said. “I’m looking forward to the future members having spaces to facilitate that.”

Whitener said each person did not join because they had a cool house, but because of what the fraternity stands for.

“We’re kind of destroying the memories we had, but we’re tearing it down to ash to be reborn, as a new organization, as a new lease on life for our chapter,” Whitener said.
