In the midst of a busy cam-paign season, Iowa Gov. Ter-ry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds announced proposals aimed at making college educa-tion more affordable.
Two specific policies were announced Tuesday in an event at the Memorial Union, both of which will affect current and future students at Iowa State. Branstad and Reynolds also high-lighted economic and educa-tional achievements since taking office in 2011.
“We doubted whether we could freeze tuition at our state universities, but we did it because we reformed the state budget and got it in order,” said Reynolds. “We were able to, for the first time in 30 years, freeze tuition for Iowa students attending our state
universities. Not only did we do that in 2013, but we did it for two years in a row.”
Branstad began by highlight-ing economic and educational reform achievements already enacted.
“One thing we always hear from students and from their parents is the high cost of higher education,” Branstad said. “I’m proud to say we’ve gone to work on that. For the first time in 35 years, there has been no rise in tuition for our students two years in a row.”
He then laid out two specific policy proposals aimed at making
college more affordable for Iowa students. One proposal was for Fixed-Priced Value Degrees. He proposed that each of the regent institutions develop a series of bachelor’s degrees that Iowa resi-dents or students can obtain for no more than $10,000 in tuition fees.
The governor wants the uni-versities to develop degrees in four of their most popular degree tracks. He also wants them to focus additionally in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math.
Branstad, Reynolds share ideas on tuition
Thoughts on GSB denying Iowa State’s bike share program
OPINION, page 5
The future of the bike share program is undetermined after the Government of the Student Body Senate voted not to fund this semester’s leg of the project at Sept. 3’s GSB meeting.
The GSB-initiated bike share program would provide around 300 bikes at docking stations around campus. Students could use their ISUCards to check out bikes and return them at other docking stations. The idea of a bike share program inspired an industrial design class that would be devoted to creating model bikes and docking stations as well as determining whether or not the university’s infrastructure could handle the program.
In spring 2014, the Senate had funded the class. Toward the end of the semester, the Senate voted to table a bill that would fund the fall semester of the class until fall GSB meetings. At Sept. 3’s meeting, the Senate voted not to approve the bill requesting an additional $7,477.39 to the almost $5,500 already spent funding the class.
“One of the biggest miscon-ceptions was that for us to fund this research, it’s not funding a bunch of bike prototypes that are going to be on campus,” said Hill-ary Kletscher, GSB president. “It’s not saying we’re going to commit to a bike share program.”
Mark Kargol, the teaching assistant for the industrial design class, said that the 20 students in the class last semester created three designs for bikes and dock-ing stations.
This semester’s goal centered on designing and manufacturing two bikes, each of a different de-sign, which would be funded by GSB. Those bikes would be used as prototypes and weighed against each other as the best model to manufacture. The community and regional planning students would also devote the semester to analyzing the university’s infra-structure to determine whether or not the university could support 300 more bikes on campus.
The bike share program was the brainchild of Kletscher and former GSB president Spencer Hughes in fall 2012. Hughes had gotten the idea at a Big 12 student government conference.
“At the time, we definitely had
an increased student population, but it wasn’t at the size that it is now,” Kletscher said about the project. “That’s why I think we had fewer reservations about it. At that point, we felt like the infrastruc-ture could handle it.”
Kletscher, a student like many others who brought their bikes from home to campus, said the program appealed to both her and Hughes because it was a project that could benefit all students on campus, not just the organizations that requested funds that would only benefit their members.
“We have over $2 million ev-ery year,” Kletscher said about stu-dent fees. “From my perspective, spending $7,000 on something that could potentially benefit our entire campus, why wouldn’t we do that?”
Hughes and Kletscher began to research bike share companies and their programs and create a plan on how to implement a program at Iowa State. They pre-sented their idea to the Graduate and Professional Student Senate where an industrial design stu-dent brought a new perspective to the project.
Applying the brakes
Iowa State asks for dismissal of lawsuitBy [email protected]
Iowa State University sub-mitted a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed against employees by two students who said their rights to free speech and due process were violated.
P a u l G e r l i c h a n d E r i n Furleigh, the president and vice president of ISU NORML — an organization that advocates for the reform of marijuana laws — filed a lawsuit against President Steven Leath and vice presidents Warren Madden and Tom Hill and Leesha Zimmerman, a program coordinator in the trademark of-fice, earlier this summer.
Furleigh and Gerlich said their First Amendment rights were violated when Iowa State did not allow them to use the mascot Cy on some T-shirt designs.
According to the motion to dismiss, the two students said Iowa State created “overbroad and vague” trademark guide-lines and then “arbitrarily” used them to reject some of NORML’s T-shirts.
The 13-page motion to dis-miss from Iowa State, that was filed on Sept. 4, requested that the lawsuit against the four uni-versity employees be dropped for a number of reasons.
According to the document, both Furleigh and Gerlich failed to provide facts that showed their First Amendment right to free speech was violated.
The motion to dismiss also said Furleigh and Gerlich failed to claim use of the logo on their organizations shirts as fair use in the lawsuit.
According to the document, fair use allows others to use a trademark if it is used as some-thing other than a trademark, in a descriptive nature or in good faith.
According to the document, the lawsuit should be dismissed because Furleigh and Gerlich did not “allege sufficient facts to establish any constitutional right in the use of ISU’s marks, that they lacked adequate alternative avenues for communicating their message without ISU’s marks, that their proposed uses of the marks were fair uses, or that their proposed uses did not cause confusion.”

Ames City Council met Tues-day to discuss Dinkey Day, the Ames Public Library reopening and residential developments.
The major discussion that took place in the City Council chambers was the rezoning of 79 acres of land north of Ada Hayden Heritage Park owned by Quarry Estates, LLC. The com-pany proposed to the council the development of a residential subdivision, which would be called Quarry Estates.
The approval required the permission of a conservation subdivision for the land use and the protection of watershed in Ada Hayden Lake. One particular concern that was brought forth was the effect this project may have on the water supply in that parcel of land.
“We rely on that water sup-ply,” said councilman Tim Gar-tin. “Is there anything we should be doing to protect that water supply?”
Several members of the community came forth to dis-cuss this matter with the council,
arguing in favor for this reso-lution. One person was Kurt Friedrich, who has a part in the development of the land.
“A large area will be set aside for conservation and for the enjoyment for the residents and the community,” Friedrich said.
The council approved the request, allowing for the devel-opment of Quarry Estates.
Another major discussion that took place during the coun-cil meeting concerned the zon-ing of floodplains in the city of Ames.
The City Council hopes to adopt new flood maps for Col-lege Creek and Worle Creek, and a rezoning of floodplains in Ames.
The city of Ames partici-pates in the National Flood In-surance Program, which allows property owners to purchase insurance to protect homes and businesses from damages.
Due to Federal Emergency Management Agency regulations that came to be known in 2010, funding would be awarded to high-performing states, from which the city of Ames could

A s t h e e n r o l l m e n t on campus increases, the amount of bike, foot and motor traffic is also on the rise.
ISU Police Department said there have recently been a number of accidents on campus involving bicy-clists and vehicles, includ-ing a student on a bicycle being seriously injured when struck by a vehicle on Fourth Street near Jack Trice Stadium on Aug. 29.
“With enrollment in-creasing on campus, we have more pedestrians, we have more bicyclists, we have more vehicles all the time,” said Anthony Greiter, community outreach officer for the ISU Police.
Greiter said there are many contributing factors to these accidents. One is more prevalent than the others, however.
“There are rules that need to be followed that aren’t being followed on both parts, vehicle opera-tors and bicyclists,” said Greiter.
According to ISU Po-lice, part of the problem is that many people do not know the rules. For opti-mum safety, bicyclists need to know their rules and vehicle operators need to know the rules for bicyclists
as well.“Accidents are an in-
herent risk of cycling,” said Kelsey Regan, a coordinator of the Cycling Club.
More accidents are happening on and around campus than are reported, ISU Police said. People also do not report the amount of “missing” accidents, where an accident could have oc-curred if one party had not swerved out of the way.
Regan said that while accidents cannot be com-pletely prevented, following proper safety procedures could reduce accidents.
“If cyclists want to be safe, then they need to have more safety gear than the law requires,” Regan said.
Bicycle headlights are the only required safety equipment in Ames.
While the law in Ames does not require helmets, they are vital safety devices, according to Regan. Bikers should be using mirrors on the helmet, reflective gear and extra headlights.
“Do as much as you can do to be visible to drivers,” Regan said.
It is not only bicyclists that need to understand and follow traffic safety rules. Grieter said motorists need to understand bicycle safety rules as well.
“Drivers get frustrated that bicyclists don’t ride at or above the speed limit,” said Grieter.
Although cyclists are not able to travel at the same speeds as cars, they are allowed to ride on most Ames roads. North Grand Avenue, Highway 30 and Interstate 35 are the only roads that restrict bicycle traffic.
Bicyclists are required to follow the same rules as cars when on the road. For example, they must stop at stop signs and red lights, and they must use hand sig-nals to display their turning directions.
Those who wish to ad-vocate safe biking in Ames can join a new group called the Ames Bicycle Coalition.
Greiter is part of a new campaign, “Take Care, Be Aware.” The campaign aims to inform the community about how to be safe shar-ing campus with bicyclists and vehicles.
“Take care of yourself while you are riding, know the rules that apply to your bicycle or vehicle,” Gre-iter said. “It is important to know the rules of the oppo-site party, as well as practice being aware of what is going on in the area.”
Regan made it clear that riding a bicycle on campus can never be risk-free.
“Even people who are being extremely safe are still subjected to accidents,” Regan said. “They can never completely be prevented.”
Overcrowding leads to more ISU accidents By [email protected]
The ISU Faculty Sen-ate met for the first time in the 2014-15 academic year Tuesday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.
The Faculty Senate has legislative responsibilities for educational policies and procedures, includ-ing curriculum. The single academic proposal to add a minor in leadership stud-ies was announced and will be voted on at the next full Senate meeting Oct. 14.
The remainder of the meeting was aimed at up-dating the Senate with in-formation pertinent to the its advisory function. The Faculty Senate advises the university administration and Board of Regents on matters of general welfare to the institution and fac-ulty.
Tim Day, professor of biomedical sciences and ISU faculty athletics repre-sentative, presented new information about the aca-demic performance of ISU athletes and changes in the NCAA rules governing col-lege scholarships.
“These are pretty dy-namic times at the NCAA,” Day said. “There have been some major changes brew-ing. One of the big ones is legislative autonomy.”
According to Day, there are presently around 340 schools under the NCAA umbrella. Those schools
have athletic department budgets ranging from $3 million to $150 million, but had equal influence in the legislative process, creating conflicts.
On Aug. 7, the NCAA restructured the legislature to allow all 65 “power con-ference” schools in the Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC and PAC-12 greater autonomy in legislating themselves.
Day said the issue of “full cost of attendance” is being weighed against the traditional scholarship al-location of tuition, books, room and board. Previous to the NCAA ruling, smaller schools resisted the option to offer “full cost of atten-dance” scholarships.
“The difference be-tween ‘cost of attendance’ and ‘[books], room, board and tuition’ at Iowa State is $2,340,” Day said. “Un-der the old rules, smaller schools were resistant to raising the scholarship limit to the ‘full cost of atten-dance’ because it would be very difficult for them to afford.”
Sen. Jonathan Sturm, professor of music and the-atre, voiced concern about the fairness of scholarship athletes being given an ex-tra stipend on top of their traditional scholarship.
“Is this leading us to-ward a fine-tuned multi-class system?” Sturm asked. “Athletes do extra things, but so do students in the chemistry lab. Is there a class that then gets prefer-
ential treatment? It’s a slip-pery slope.”
Currently, the ISU ath-letic department has not made an announcement or decision as to “full cost of attendance” scholarships.
Jonathan Wickert, se-nior vice president and pro-vost, updated the Senate on President Leath’s High
Impact Hires Initiative.“We successfully com-
pleted what turned out to be a record year for faculty hiring,” Wickert said. “One hundred five tenured or tenured-eligible faculty were recruited in last year’s cycle.”
Wickert said $1.5 to $2 million will be invested
again and he expects a simi-lar number of new faculty hires this year. Wickert also reported that the Biosci-ences Building Project ap-proved by the Board of Re-gents last year is on track to choose an architect. The project will include a new biosciences building and an addition to Bessey Hall.
The standards for fac-ulty performance and post tenure review are also up for discussion in future meet-ings. Both are designed to help evaluate and guide tenured faculty.
Faculty Senate will re-convene from 4 to 6 p.m. Oct. 14 in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

Iowa State’s proposed student innovation cen-ter was the only of three state university projects the Board of Regents property and facilities committee recommended Tuesday for funding approval next year.
Regent Milt Dakovich suggested state funding for the University of Iowa’s and University of Northern Iowa’s capital projects be put on “pause” until the
Transparent, Inclusive Ef-ficiency Review is done.
“Very serious consid-eration needs to be given to space utilization and how that space utilization needs to get integrated with what your education de-livery model is,” Dakovich said. “If you’re just going to upgrade what you have because it’s broken and old, there’s a very small chance that that’s going to be the right answer down the road.”
The committee voted Tuesday to keep the re-
mainder of the proposed five year state-funded capi-tal plan budget and Iowa State’s funding on track for fiscal year 2016. The rec-ommendation to the board was to push the other two regent universities’ fund-ing back one year to fiscal year 2017.
Iowa presented the Seashore Hall area renova-tion for the department of psychology for a total proj-ect cost of $67.5 million. Northern Iowa sought to remodel two existing build-ings on campus. Requested funding is $40 million.
T h e re c o m m e n d e d budget for next fiscal year will be reduced from $71 million to about $58 mil-lion.
Regent Larry McKib-ben said he agreed with the idea to pause the projects and said that Iowa State’s innovation center is the most in line with the effi-ciency review’s goals.
“We’re going to call time out on a lot of things in buildings simply because a major component of the transformation efficiency study is in fact utilization of facilities,” McKibben said.
The proposed $80 mil-lion student innovation center would be a hands-on and co-curricular activity building for the colleges of engineering and design. Students studying other dis-ciplines would also be able to use the 175,000-square-foot facility.
“It’s an exciting inter-disciplinary project that really goes to the heart of Iowa State’s brand as a hands-on practical institu-tion,” said Jonathan Wick-ert, ISU provost. “It’s a very
student-focused facility. It’s centered around making, building [and] designing things by students.”
Building a new facility would replace maintenance on two older engineering buildings on campus: Swee-ney Hall and the nuclear engineering lab. The center would provide more work-ing space for the increased number of students enroll-ing in the science, technol-ogy, engineering and math fields, Wickert said.
“Physical space for these programs has not kept up with the 35 percent or so enrollment growth that we’ve seen in these disciplines,” Wickert said. “This facility is a key aspect to maintaining our position and building our brand in a field that is really core to the university.”
The full board will vote on the budget at Wednes-day’s meeting in the Sun Room of the Memor ial Union.
Deloitte Consulting will present on the Trans-parent, Inclusive, Efficien-cy Review study business cases at 1 p.m. in the Sun Room.

Collaborative exploration of the initiative by the GSB legislative and executive branches began a little more than a year ago, but we really gained ground and tangible action when the industrial design department had a studio
course focused on design-ing a custom bike share program for Iowa State.
By May 2014, industri-al design students had col-laborated to design three unique bicycle prototypes, each with a different look and feel. This fall, the fo-cus is on producing two completely workable pro-totypes that have the abil-ity to be scaled up if Iowa State decides to implement the program. Other major work will include an overall assessment of feasibility, including bicycle checkout locations, bicycle safety, the user experience and integration into campus infrastructure. Students from multiple disciplines — industrial design, me-chanical engineering and
community and regional planning — are collabo-rating to take bike share program research to the next level.
This collaborative re-search and innovative ap-proach couldn’t come at a better time. As students, we are feeling the pressures of increased enrollment. We can see the students who watch as CyRide buses drive by because they are already full. We can see the full tables and long lines in the Memorial Union during lunch. We can see the full sidewalks, full computer labs and full library.
Two weeks into class-es, a noticeable buzz of conversation about enroll-ment and the problems it is creating — especially in in-
frastructure — is grabbing my attention, the Govern-ment of the Student Body’s attention and administra-tion’s attention. It’s time for a new approach. It’s time for an innovative so-lution.
I believe the research being done now can de-termine if a bike share program is that solution. I think research and a full feasibility study is an inte-gral part of determining if this student-led initiative will be the answer for Iowa State. I also think that a bike share program has strong potential to be a part of the solution to on-campus congestion.
Sixty percent of the traffic on campus is CyRide buses, and they often fol-
low one after another . Pedestrians often walk in front of the buses as bi-cycles zoom by. We have the same infrastructure to get students to and around campus as we had 10,000 students ago.
We need bike lanes. We need bicyclists to not ride on the sidewalk. We need to limit vehicle traffic on campus to ensure ev-eryone stays safe. We need to reduce the number of students bringing bicycles to campus. We need to en-sure CyRide is meeting the needs of students.
Over time, a bike share program would reduce the number of bicycles students would bring to campus. It would create another student choice
for public transportation beyond CyRide. If CyRide routes on campus need to change, a bike share pro-gram could fill the need for transportation from one corner to the other. A program would invest stu-dent fees into a project that has the potential to ben-efit thousands of students rather than a select few. A bike share program would provide another oppor-tunity for us to engage in wellness because it would be easy to grab a bike and go for a ride with friends. A bike share program can be an innovative student-led, student-designed solution. A solution for the students and by the students has my support, and I hope it has yours, too.
It is no secret that there is a serious congestion is-sue on campus as far as the number of students during the passing hour goes. There are bikes, buses, skate-boards and people speed-ing in every direction. This can be quite discouraging when trying to get to class on time. CyRide is often too full to catch the bus on your first attempt, or you are stuck walking behind those people on campus that stroll around like they have no place to be. This is why implementing a bike share program on Iowa State’s campus would have been a progressive measure.
Unfortunately, the bike share bill was voted down, although the vote was close. Approximately $5,500 has already been spent to have industrial design and elec-trical and mechanical en-gineering students work on prototypes of these bicycles, while also getting hands on training. A bill was brought to the table to ask for an-other $7,477.39 to continue working on finding the bike prototypes wanted.
Money is always a con-cern for students, but with the bike share program, it is possible that the first half hour of use would more than likely be free. After that, the longer the bike is kept, the more the student will be charged. This is a simple plan, considering the cost of keeping the bike would hopefully help eliminate bike theft. Also, it should take much less than half an hour on a bike to get any-where on campus. If you are taking a bike from one building on campus to an-other and you make it in less than 30 minutes, the bike ride is free.
One of the concerns is how our campus would handle more traffic. With the rate at which new students have been coming and the amount of people hurry-ing from class to class, it is possible that CyRide will no longer be able to travel on Morrill and Osborne roads in the near future. That be-ing the case, the next fastest way to get across campus
would be by bike.If it comes to be that
CyRide is no longer able to go down these congested roads, the routes could be used for bike lanes which would hopefully lead to few-er bikes on the sidewalks. Many larger cities such as Chicago and Minnesota have been using a bike share system and the programs have been successful, so the proposed system is al-ready tailored to work on a campus with this level of congestion.
So many students have been involved with the pro-cess of getting bike share on its feet and should not have to see their work go unrewarded. GSB President Hillary Kletscher — whose guest column is below — has been working on the bike share program for more than a year and the engi-neers working on prototypes should not have their hard work wasted.
Adding a bike share program is not an added congestion threat but in-stead a quick and economi-cal way to get from class to class.
If students have any comments or concerns about the bike share pro-gram at Iowa State, con-tact Nick Terhall, director of student affairs. Bike share has the chance to move our campus in a progressive direction, but that is not going to happen if the stu-dents do not stand up for what they want and express their desire to establish the program.

SPORTS6 Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2014
Strategy, experience and execution all play im-portant roles on a successful volleyball team, but as is the case in most sports, athleti-cism is the great equalizer.
Early in the season, as ISU head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch experi-ments with different line-ups and attack strategies in search of her squad’s op-timal identity, the ISU vol-leyball team (3-2, 0-0 Big 12) has relied on the athleticism of its front line to intimidate opponents and fill up the stat sheet.
“We have some really nice athletes and we have really good size at every po-sition,” Johnson-Lynch said.
T h e I S U f r o n t l i n e boasts 6-footers across the board.
Former All-American Honorable Mention selec-tions junior Mackenzie Bigbee and senior Victoria Hurtt stand 6-foot-1-inch and 6-foot-2-inch, respec-tively, and both have dy-namic leaping ability at the hitter position.
They are complimented by 6-foot-3-inch sopho-more hitter Ciara Capezio, who has come on strong early in the season after battling back from surgery in February to remove a pinched nerve in her foot.
“It was a tough first sea-son for [Capezio] and we asked a lot of her,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I think she is just that much more pre-pared this year.”
Capezio tallied 38 kills for the Cyclones in the course of three ISU victories in the Iowa State Challenge, including 17 kills against
Northern Illinois in the final match of the weekend.
“She was kind of in the zone Saturday,” Johnson-Lynch said of Capezio. “We have really asked her to be low error, so we focus on that every day in practice.”
Minimizing errors is a key aspect to the art of the
attack, which Capezio said is more complicated than simply sprinting to the net and hammering the vol-leyball down onto the other side of the court.
Attacks come in vari-ous forms, including the go, the four and the gap, all of which are designed to
exploit a particular area of the opposing defense.
“I’ve learned that there is so much more to the game. It is not just your side. It is reading the other side,” said freshman middle-blocker Alexis Conaway, who has stepped into a prominent role on the front line early in
her career. “I’ve been work-ing on being smarter and learning when you should take those swings.”
The 6-foot Conaway has already built up a rep-utation for flying around the court making acrobatic plays.
She said it is hard to dis-cern how much of the split-second decision making process, which happens in mid-air, relies on conscious thought and how much of it relies on pure instinct.
“The more you play, the more your thoughts just be-come instinct in the game,” Conaway said. “My goal is to be available all the time and be aggressive. Once you are, those other shots will open up.”
Johnson-Lynch said that as important as prac-tice and guidance are to Conaway and her front-court counterparts, much of what they exhibit during matches is rooted in inher-ent skill.
“ A l o t o f w h a t [Conaway] does is just natu-ral instinct and not neces-sarily coached,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Her athletic ability allows her to do some pretty special things and we have several athletes like that on the court now.”
Capezio said the men-tality and production of the entire front-line adds a di-mension of intimidation to the Cyclones’ arsenal, as opponents get a first-hand preview of what they must overcome during warm-ups.
“It is a great quality that we have,” Capezio said. “Many teams kind of just play and they do not have that bond to push each oth-er. We push each other just as hard in practice as we get pushed in games.”
Sam Greene/Iowa State DailySophomore outside hitter Ciara Capezio prepares to spike the ball toward the waiting Huskies during a set against Northern Illinois in the Iowa State Challenge on Saturday. Capezio is a strong part of the ISU front line.
Kelby Wingert/Iowa State DailyRedshirt sophomore linebacker Levi Peters was helped off the field during the Kansas State game Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium. The Cyclones led for much of the game but couldn’t maintain their lead in the second half.
With six new coaches on the ISU football staff, there was bound to be some hiccups in the first f e w g a m e s o f t h e 2 0 1 4 season.
Just four plays into the 2014 season, the Cyclones were forced to adapt as the team’s leading wide re-ceiver, Quenton Bundrage, went down with a season-ending injury.
Only 10 minutes later in the game, the team’s unquestioned leader and four-year starting line-man, Tom Farniok, went down with an injury that kept him out the rest of the game. Farniok’s former backup, Ben Loth, didn’t see the field after suffering a season-ending injury in fall camp.
Then left tackle Jacob Gannon left the team for personal reasons two days before ISU football tokk on Kansas State and line-backer Levi Peters tore his
Achilles tendon against the Wildcats.
Two games into the season, the team has yet to find the win column and players appear to be drop-ping like flies.
However, after tak-ing No. 20 Kansas State down to the wire, the team isn’t shying away from the challenge.
“It’s athletics, there’s going to be adversity,” said coach Paul Rhoads. “From week one to week two, I’m pleased with how we faced adversity.”
With receiver Quenton Bundrage out, senior Jarvis West stepped up in a big way for the Cyclones.
He grabbed a receiving touchdown and returned a punt return for a touch-down before throwing a touchdown.
The group adapted quickly with five receiv-ers catching balls against Kansas State and four of them hauling in at least three passes each.
M u c h o f o f f e n s e ’ s s u c c e s s c a n b e a t t r i b -
uted to quarterback Sam Richardson’s improve-ments from last season. After dealing with adversity across the offensive line all of last season, Richardson has responded better this year to injuries.
“I feel like it happens quite a lot,” Richardson said of facing adversity. “Obviously this year we’ve lost quite a few guys, es-pecially on the O-line. It’s something you have to deal with.”
For Richardson, who has completed 67.2 per-cent of his passes this sea-son, adversity is the last thing on his mind. Even after Farniok went out with an injury against North Dakota State, Richardson did all he could.
“ T h e r e ’ s t o o m u c h stuff to think about on the football field and obviously that can’t be one of them,” Richardson said.
As the Cyclones pre-pare to head to Iowa City to take on their in-state rivals, the Hawkeyes are facing some of their own obstacles
this week. A f t e r i n j u r i n g h i s
knee against Ball State las Saturday, All-American lineman Brandon Scherff is listed as day-to-day and defensive end Drew Ott was involved in a motorized scooter accident Monday that sent him to the hos-pital, although he is ex-pected to play in the game on Saturday.
Scherff is widely con-sidered a top-10 pick by NFL draft experts and is the anchor along the stout Iowa offensive line.
Although he is listed as day-to-day, he is not expected to play against Iowa State.
For the Cyclones, it’s all about improvement, and Rhoads has seen that on both sides of the ball. After facing their fair share of adversity in the first two weeks, the Cyclones are ready to take on another one.
“ W e d i d i m p r o v e , ” Rhoads said. “With that improvement, even in a loss, you’ll go into the next week with more confidence as players and more cred-ibility as coaches.”

Jevohn Miller’s growing role
Miller
After three years of playing Will, or weak-side linebacker, Rhoads moved Jevohn Miller to Mike, or middle lineback-er, against Kansas State. Known as the “quarter-back of the defense,” Mike linebackers are often the leaders of the defense, a quality Miller lacked in previous years.
“I don’t think I would have ever seen Jevohn as a leader, and that’s not a knock on him,” Rhoads said. “Right now without question, he and Cory Morrissey are the leaders of our defense.”
After years of play-ing with leaders like Jake Knott, A.J. Klein and Jeremiah George, Miller finally stepped into a leadership role on defense. He organized a players’ meeting before taking on Kansas State
and played a good game in his first appearance as Mike linebacker.
“We were a lot better defensive team against K-State and I think that just comes with experience and working together,” Miller said. “We commu-nicated a lot better. We dramatically improved in that aspect.”
Rhoads said there is no question Miller will be back at the position against Iowa.

SELF 7Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2014
What would it be like to face rejection from a social situation because of your weight?
This is exactly what Nathan Irmiter, ISU gradu-ate in geology, experienced before his inspiring weight loss transformation.
Irmiter started his journey to lose weight af-ter learning from his doc-tor that he had a high con-tent of sugar going through his body that wasn’t being properly filtered out.
After completing further tests, the doctor told him if he didn’t start changing his eating and diet habits that he was go-ing to have serious prob-lems with it in the future.
“About a month be-fore the end of my senior year, I had cleaned up my diet and started doing a vigorous amount of fork-downs and spoon-outs [portion control],” Irmiter said.
Irmiter made the conscious decision to fully commit to this life-changing decision after getting back from the Teton Mountain Range in Wyoming the summer be-fore starting college.
“I remember having a moment of clarity sweat-ing my ass off in a path called the Garnet Canyon,” Irmiter said. “Something along the lines of ... this is
too beautiful to miss out on for cheesecake.”
He started running. Everyday, he ran. What first was just a mile at night became four miles and what became four miles became a life-changing journey he vowed never to return from.
“I didn’t have a rou-tine whatsoever,” Irmiter said. “I should have, but I didn’t really understand enough about exercise at the time to know I needed one.”
But the only routine Irmiter needed was moti-vation. With portion con-trol and exercise, he was shedding the pounds. At his heaviest, he weighed roughly 240 pounds and within four or five months, he had lost a grand total of 70 pounds.
Today, Irmiter is keep-ing up with his healthy habits. He has picked up a new yoga hobby, and even competed in half-mara-thons this past year.
This journey has been not only physically life changing but also mental-ly and socially as well.
Irmiter suffers from clinical depression and moderate to severe social anxiety. Although he’s had these conditions most of his life, he noticed how much more present the symptoms were before his weight loss.
“I spent a lot of time being irrationally pissed off or not know how to talk
to people, not making an attempt just because I as-sumed they wouldn’t give me the time of day,” he said.
Irmiter admitted there are the occasional ‘I want pizza and beer in my mouth now’ kind of nights and pointed out that por-tion control is key.
He advised people who are trying to lose weight to set reason-able goals for themselves, ones they know they can accomplish.
“Find something that inspires you and keep it on your mind as you go,” Irmiter said. “It doesn’t matter what it is — your family, friends, significant other — as long as it’s im-portant to you.”
For those of you who might be scared to start your own journey because of what others will think, Irmiter had a piece of ad-vice for you, too.
“Nobody looks pretty working out. Not even the people who color coordi-nate their workout out-fits,” Irmiter said. “So if others care that you might be bigger and trying to improve yourself, forget them.
“What’s beyond your front door is one of the scariest concepts when you’re deeply depressed. Working through [that] is the first step to really be-coming the man or woman that you want to see in the mirror versus the one you
are.”Running is what
helped strengthen Irmiter mentally. He found that having that alone time each day was invaluable for his mental health.
“It goes farther than knowing that you’re capa-ble of improving yourself on a purely physical level,” Irmiter said. “There’s a solemn personal strength you gain from kicking your ass up and down the block a few hundred times pure-ly for your own benefit.”
He explained how strange it feels to now know both sides of the two-sided coin. The jour-ney is one he would like to share with others , but at the same time, let them know that this journey is so much deeper than the physical. Irmiter’s story is not one that suggests los-ing weight provides value, it is losing fear.
“Being unhealthy doesn’t mean someone is a bad person, just like be-ing healthy doesn’t make someone a good person,” Irmiter said. “Everyone has intrinsic value, period.”
We are all familiar with the feeling of meeting new people, but living with a stranger is a different scenario. Building relationships is an important compo-nent to mental stability and emotional health. Here is a guide on healthy ways to build a relationship with your new roommate.
COMMUNICATE
One of the keys to getting to know your roommate is communication. Do some activities where you’re able to interact with each other. Whether that’s participating in outdoor activi-ties, playing video games or going to an event, it’s good to understand the per-son with whom you’re living.
“If they’re new or if you don’t have a relationship with them, go out with
them,” said Thomas Berry, senior in civil engineering.
Theresa Gruetzmacher, senior in interior design and architecture, sug-gests that readers should avoid activi-ties that don’t involve interaction.
“Movies won’t be a good one be-cause you’re not communicating. Go out to dinner, or maybe a walk around the park.”
SETTING BOUNDARIES
Before moving in with a room-mate, it’s important to lay the lines of what is right and wrong.
“The most important thing is just to try, try to have those first conversa-tions,” said Sally Deter, coordinator of residence life at the Department of Residence. “It may not be the best conversation but they will count in the future.”
Deter recommended establishing any important rules of which room-mates should know. If you are a cleanly person, remind him or her that you like having a clean environment.
KNOW THE PROBLEM
There will be times where the boat
will rock and when that happens, you want to take action immediately. Deter stressed that individuals should iden-tify the problem once it happens, what the issue is and how they want the be-havior to change.
“Whatever the issue is, the sooner to the actual incident, the better feed-back they’ll get,” Deter said.
She also believes that the person who has a problem should be able to offer alternatives or suggestions on making the situation better instead of escalating it and taking anger out on each other.
ENDING THE CONFLICT
It’s hard to understand a conflict once it begins, but working together to find a common solution is a positive and healthy way to dispose of a conflict.
Berry reaches out by suggesting that an individual should be calm and cohesive when addressing a problem.
“Make your point through your words and articulate, don’t raise your voice or be intimidating,” Berry said.
Berry suggests that readers should reach out to the problem in a mature way, and use the Golden Rule, treat others the way you want to be treated.
USING “I” INSTEAD OF “YOU”
Sometimes there are more posi-tive ways to approach people with whom you have a problem. Deters ad-vised approaching a conflict with “I” statements.
“You are so messy, you never pick up anything, you never clean the room.” Instead of using accusations, al-ternatives could be “I like my environ-ment to be more orderly because when I’m studying, if I see that there’s a mess, I feel the need to clean up the mess in-stead of studying.”
THIS WON’T BE THE LAST TIME
It’s difficult knowing that this problem can really affect a person, but know that difficult situations will only make a person better.
“This isn’t going to be the [last] time that you’re going to be living with somebody, and it’s not going to be the [last] time that you’ll have a conflict with somebody,” said Brittney Rutherford, in charge of marketing communica-tions at the Department of Residence. “If you learn those skills now, it’s only going to help you as you go in your pro-fessional and personal life.”

Bike share then became a program for the students to use for transportation and to use for hands-on learning experiences.
Kargol had wanted his design students to do a project for an international bike competition for the last spring semester.
“I felt like it would be something the students could do to contribute to campus,” Kargol said. “It was also an opportunity that really had never been done before by students. There are bike share pro-grams on campuses across the country, but there’s no system that students de-signed in its entirety.”
About 20 industrial de-sign students made up the class last semester. By this semester, the students from mechanical and electrical engineering had picked up the class along with five students from community and regional planning.
During Sept. 3’s Senate meeting, many senators voiced their concern that while the program may be a good idea, the reality was that students just would not use the bikes over oth-er transportation, such as CyRide buses.
However, Kletscher said the CyRide system will have to change because of the increased population on campus, regardless of whether or not there is a bike share program.
“We’re going to talk about the longterm future
of CyRide,” Kletscher said. “Currently, if you go out on campus, about 60 percent of our traffic on campus is buses. The infrastructure of how we handle buses on campus hasn’t changed in 15 years, but we’ve added like 10,000 students.”
Kletscher said that she and members of adminis-tration discussed the fact that there may be so many students walking across Morrill Road and Osborn Drive that CyRide could no longer travel through them. Then the buses would have to travel on the outer roads of campus, Kletscher said.
“At that point, every-one’s going to want a bi-cycle,” Kletscher said. “It’s going to be something that’s more desired. Having that other option of public trans-portation, to me, is impor-tant.”
Kletscher said the pro-gram can also encourage health and wellness, so stu-dents can easily check out a bike, run errands around town or bike with friends and return it.
As for whether or not the bikes would gather at one docking station, Nick Terhall, head of the GSB bike share committee, dis-cussed the option of having an app that students could download.
When bikes built up at one rack, they would get a notification to ferry bikes to a different docking station. The volunteers would be credited 10 or 20 cents to their CyCash via their ISU-Cards at the docking station
for each bike.Another major concern
and reason senators voted not to fund the bike share program this semester was because they were unsure whether or not the univer-sity’s infrastructure could handle the buses, increased students and bikes already on campus without adding 300 more bikes and bike racks.
Many senators wanted a feasibility study done be-fore they decided to fund the project, asking the committee and the class members to create a new proposal for the spring se-mester.
B o t h K a r g o l a n d Kletscher stressed that since the program is being implemented and designed by students already in the class, CRP students could handle a feasibility study instead of bringing in a sep-arate company and paying up to $30,000 for a study.
“I i n s t r u c t e d t h e m anything goes, not to sit and think that because it’s been that way for the last 40 years that it has to stay that way,” Kargol said. “Then they look for solutions that could be either added to the system or rerouting things or changing usage of roads or pathways, adding path-ways.”
Kletscher said that there would be discussion about adding bike lanes down main roads.
When senators brought up the topic of bike safety, Kletscher said adding those bike lanes and paths across
campus would cut down on bikes on sidewalks. Since it is illegal for bikes to be on sidewalks on campus — a little known fact — bi-cyclists would travel the paths and not have to weave through students, risking running into a student on foot.
Not only would the program benefit those get-ting hands-on learning ex-perience and those using the program, Kletscher said other universities are taking notice of the program.
“In terms of our uni-versity, it’s putting Iowa State on the map for the College of Design, adding more value to our degrees,” Kletscher said. “We’ve had a lot of other universities contact us and say, ‘You’re designing your own bike share program? Can we buy that from you?’”
Kargol said that the class came to GSB for fund-ing because it was a GSB ini-tiative. However, he said it is now looking at other fund-ing from private donors, the university and grants. Plans will carry on, Kargol said.
“The campus is very crowded, and it’s causing a lot of issues. From what I’ve seen, there have been no suggestions put out there for fixing the problem,” Kargol said. “I feel like bike share is a program that stu-dents can bring to the uni-versity that will help miti-gate some of the crowding.
“I don’t want to say that students should have to answer the question, but why not?”
greatly benefit. By adopting new flood maps, the city would be able to develop on existing floodplains.
However, some mem-bers of the community did not approve of the request.
One member of the local community voiced a concern on building on floodplains, expressing fear that the city would be un-able to protect the citizens from suffering from flood damage in 100 and 500 year floods.
Despite the concern, City Council approved the motion and the action was passed.
The council also dis-cussed Dinkey Day. Cel-ebrations will require the
closure of Welch Avenue between Hunt and Cham-berlain streets on Sept. 26.
Dinkey Day will take place from 5 to 9 p.m. Sept. 26.
The event celebrates the Dinkey, Ames’ historic passenger train that trans-ported students and pro-fessors to campus from the city of Ames in the early 1900s.
The event is conjoined with the Ames Sesquicen-tennial Celebration, which recognizes Ames’ 150 years as a city.
S o m e I S U s t u d e n t groups will be able to sell items at the celebration to recover lost revenue that would have been made during Veishea.
An events coordinator
representative informed the council that a large crowd is expected and that the event will be a success.
The motion was car-ried and the request for the closure of Welch Avenue was approved.
The council moved on to discuss the closure of Douglas Avenue between Fifth and Sixth streets be-tween 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. for the grand reopening of the public library Sunday.
Gartin brought forth a concern for the businesses that may be affected and that they may be contact-ed prior to the event. The council voted and the reso-lution for the special event passed.
The first item of busi-ness was a proclamation
for Addiction Recovery Month, which takes place in September and is dedi-cated to the awareness and improvement of those who suffer from addictions.
It was also brought to the attention of the council that the carbon footprint has been increasing in the city of Ames because of the increased use of CyRide. With a greater enrollment n u m b e r, r i d e r s h i p o n CyRide is also drastically increasing. Because of this, the buses are decreasing in efficiency and increasing carbon usage.
Although the council took no action on this mat-ter at this time, it has made it known that it is aware of it and will work on that problem in the near future.

“We know that some degrees require a longer time frame and more sig-nificant on-campus work-load. So for those degrees, maybe it can’t be done with $10,000. But we want create a discount, maybe 50 per-cent of what tuition might otherwise be,” Branstad said. “I already talked to Bruce Rastetter, president of the Board of Regents. We recognized this as some-thing that would have to be approved by the board.”
A second policy pro-posal from the governor aims to tackle student debt. The governor said the aver-age student is now leav-ing college with 63 percent more student debt than graduates a decade ago. He then announced the Student Debt Reduction Organization tax credit.
“The new fixed pric-ing will help with student debt on the front end, but we need to deal with the excessive debt that can be accumulated through an academic career,” Branstad said. “We plan to work with the legislature to create a student debt reorganiza-tion tax credit.”
The governor proposed that a tax credit be created and awarded to Iowa stu-dent taxpayers who make voluntary cash contribu-tions to student debt reduc-tion organizations that buy down debt for those who participate in community service volunteer activities.
Dozens of ISU students filled the Gallery Room to see the governor. Some agreed that regardless of party affiliation, anything that affects student tuition is important.
“Obviously tuition af-
fects everyone, whether you’re interested in poli-tics or not,” said Mallory Earll, sophomore in politi-cal science. “Everyone has to deal with college debt; all students have to face that. Even if you’re not in-terested in politics, every-one thinks it’s important to know where your money is going and how it’s being spent.”
In response to Brans-tad’s two policy proposals, Earll said she was excited to see what else the gov-ernor has planned if he is re-elected this November. After implementing policies like the tuition freeze, she said she has trust in him to follow through with his promises related to educa-tion.
Other students came because they felt it was im-portant to be informed.
“I think people stay
away from anything politi-cal just because they don’t like politics,” said Kaylie Reicks, sophomore in ag-ricultural business. “They don’t want to get involved and they don’t think it af-fects their lives. It actu-ally does. I think it’s really important to be informed about what the government is doing. I hope they actual-ly can be informed and not just vote based on party.”
Gov. Branstad is ex-pected to speak in Ames again Wednesday. Branstad and ISU President Steven Leath are expected to make remarks at the ground-breaking ceremony for a new Economic Develop-ment Core Facility at the ISU research park.
The ceremony is from 4 to 6 p.m. with a short pro-gram for speakers at 5 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
