A changing tradition
Two ISU students return to college, leave home in violent turmoil
Tiffany Herring/Iowa State DailySophomore Jared Ingram and senior Kendra White are members of the ISU track and field team and were raised in and near Ferguson, where Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer Aug. 9. Ingram and White joined and contributed to the protests that occurred in Ferguson and downtown St. Louis.
Kendra White, a senior in chemistry and a member of the ISU track and field team, left Florissant, a St. Louis suburb, and headed back to college just like thousands of students do each and every year.
As White was leaving, her little brother cried and asked if he could go to col-lege with his sister.
What makes her story different from many other students’ situations is that White’s 13-year old brother wanted to go to college with his big sister to escape the area that in recent weeks had resembled a war zone: Ferguson.
“It worries me,” White said of leaving Florissant to move back to Ames. “When I left my brother crying, he was holding on to me and wouldn’t let me out of the door and was like, ‘Can I move where you’re going?’ ... he was saying ‘I’ll pack
my stuff.’“I worry about it be-
cause my brother could be walking down West Florissant [Street] with his friends to get snacks or whatever and something could pop off again and he’s stuck right there in the middle of it alone. That’s a dangerous situation.”
The towns of Ferguson and Florissant, which share a school district, meet on West Florissant Street, a name which may be more familiar after the past few weeks of news coverage.
The previously anony-mous St. Louis suburb of Ferguson became a na-tional news story Aug. 9 amid the controversy that followed Michael Brown’s death. Brown, an unarmed African-American man, was shot and killed by a Ferguson police officer on West Florissant Street.
Worrying about her brother wasn’t the first time White had been worried in the aftermath of Brown’s death.
She worried for Brown’s family, though she didn’t know them personally. She worried about her own fam-ily, knowing that Brown’s fate could have easily been her own fate.
“It hit home when I re-alized [where Brown was
shot is] literally five min-utes down the street,” White said. “It hurt for me to see Mike Brown’s mother. That really hits home because that could be my mother.
“I live in Ferguson-Florissant. This is literally my community. To just see his mom crying — that made me cry. That could be my mom, or my aunt crying about my cousin. It hurts me just because it is so close to home.”
Brown was shot and killed by a police officer af-ter the officer confronted Brown in the street and Brown allegedly reached into the officer’s vehicle and tried to grab his gun.

No one expected it from someone who was once voted “funniest man alive.” No one expected Robin Williams, a shy, chubby child turned top comedic actor, to take his own life Aug. 11.
Williams was more than an actor. He was also a husband, father, former athlete and a fluent French speaker. Williams’ suicide was a buzz topic to end the summer, creating dis-cussions revolving around mental health, suicide and remembrance of the actor. Here are a few more things you may not have known about the man who was the voice behind the be-loved blue genie.
1. Least likely to succeed
Williams, born in 1951, graduated from Redwood High School, which is north of San Francisco. He joined the drama club, was involved in theater and ran track. He was also voted “least likely to succeed” by his classmates. In 1973, he was one of 20 freshmen selected to study at The Juilliard School.
He also won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in “Good Will Hunting” and was nomi-nated for an Academy Award for Best Actor three times. He received two Emmy Awards, four Golden Globe Awards, five Grammy Awards and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Before attending The Juilliard School, he played soccer at Claremont Men’s College.
2. Big breakHis big break came in
1978 when he was cast as an alien on “Happy Days” and later cast as Mork on “Mork & Mindy.” He played
out Mork in three differ-ent series: “Happy Days,” “Mork & Mindy” and “Out of the Blue.”
Many remember Williams wearing a dress and toting a white wig as Mrs. Doubtfire in 1993, which won the Academy Award for Best Makeup. Williams coproduced the movie, which landed a spot in the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 funniest movies in the 20th century.
While working on “Mork & Mindy,” Williams developed a drug and alco-hol problem. He faced this for about 20 years.
3. Genie ad-libWilliams ad-libbed 16
hours worth of material for his gig as the Genie in “Aladdin.” He ad-libbed so many of his lines that, according to IMDb, the script was turned down for a Best Adapted Screenplay Academy Award nomina-tion. Williams was also turned down for a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award nomination be-cause he was only the voice of the Genie.
About two weeks af-ter his death, the Genie’s songs grew in popular-ity on the billboard charts. Two of Williams’ songs as the Genie, “Prince Ali” and “Friend Like Me,” re-en-tered to the top five songs on the kid digital songs chart.
4. AthleteRewind about 30
years from winning Best Supporting Actor in “Good Will Hunting,” and Williams was a high school track and cross country athlete at Redwood High School in Larkspur, Calif. His time for the 4-x-440 was still the last known record as of 2000, accord-ing to highshoolsports.nola.com. Williams is still ranked number seven in the 880-yard run.
5. A family man
Williams was a hus-band and a father. He, with his first ex-wife Valerie Velardi, welcomed his first child, Zachary Pym Williams, on April 11, 1983, when Williams was 31. Zelda Rae Williams, his second child with second ex-wife Marsha Garces Williams, arrived on July 31, 1989. Cody Alan Williams, born Nov. 25, 1991, was also with Marsha Garces Williams. Williams didn’t have children with his third wife, Susan Schneider.
6. Animal admirerAnimals costarred
alongside Williams in a number of movies, in-cluding “The Crazy Ones,” where he worked with a baby duck, and “Night at the Museum,” where he worked with a capuchin monkey.
In addition to work-ing with animals on set, Williams had two dogs, a Boston terrier named Verna Pearl, and Leonard, a pug adopted from a New York animal rescue shelter.
Williams also took his love for animals to his diet when he turned vegan and didn’t wear animal prod-ucts, according to Global Animal.
7. Personal strugglesWilliams dealt with
addictions to alcohol and drugs starting in the 1980s. He quit using cocaine in 1982 when his first wife was pregnant with their first son. After about 20 years of sobriety, Williams checked himself into rehab to be treated for alcoholism and left rehab in 2006, accord-ing to AlcoholismRehab.org.
Williams’ representa-tive, Mara Buxbaum, con-firmed his death Aug. 11 and said, “[Williams] has been battling severe de-pression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.”
After the news of Williams’ death, Schneider released a statement say-ing, “This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved art-ists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heart-broken … As he is remem-bered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin’s death, but on the countless moments of joy and laugh-ter he gave to millions.”

Iowa Board of Regents officials announced last week that the academ-ic review portion of its Transparent, Inclusive Efficiency Review will be slowed down to give the board more time to collect feedback from faculty and staff.
Deloitte Consulting was hired by the board in February to perform a comprehensive review of institutional resources, costs and efficiencies at the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa, Iowa’s three regent institutions.
Due to the delay, a scheduling conflict has occurred with KH Consulting, the firm con-tracted by Deloitte to re-view academic efficiency.
This portion of the re-view was scheduled to be completed in December, but that date may now change.
“It’s our understand-ing this [review] will be delayed temporarily,” said Janeane Beck, a spokes-woman for the board.
According to Beck, Deloitte is currently searching for another firm to conduct the academic portion of the review.
The review could save the regent universi-ties between $30 and $80 million annually once the new measures are fully implemented, according to Deloitte.
The Board of Regents originally hired Deloitte for $2.45 million but agreed to pay an additional $867,955 in June to supplement the study.
The efficiency review, currently in phase two of three, is implementing “business cases” to de-termine the longterm vi-ability of some of Deloitte’s proposals.
One proposal, the consolidation of building and supply contracts in
order to negotiate more fa-vorable prices for all three regent universities, could save $16 to $40 million in the next 18 to 24 months, according to Deloitte.
In June, Deloitte and the board narrowed the 175 money-saving propos-als delivered in phase one down to 17 “opportunities” to estimate the impact and effort required to imple-ment the proposals.
“What phase two will provide is the opportu-nity to take a closer look at those areas that were iden-tified in phase one,” said Miles Lackey, Iowa State’s representative to the re-view committee.
Rick Ferraro, the proj-ect director for Deloitte Consulting, believes the $1.45 billion fiscal 2015 budget of the regent insti-tutions gives them leverage in negotiating contracts.
“Because these three institutions spend so much money, there is a big opportunity to just refine this in the next increment of standardization and co-operation across the sys-tem,” Ferraro said.
There is some concern about job losses among faculty and staff at the uni-versities as a result of the review.
When asked about po-tential job losses at a pub-lic forum in June, Ferraro said that those details had not yet been worked out, but it was unrealistic to expect no adjustment in jobs.
“There’s always a pos-sibility of that, to be per-fectly honest,” Ferraro said.
Phase three of the re-view is going to include the designing, testing and launching of all of the improvements the board approves.
Phase three was scheduled to be complet-ed in December but is now subject to delay because of KH Consulting’s schedul-ing conflict.
The Board of Regents is scheduled to meet again Sept. 10 at Iowa State.

Coffee drinkers on campus should look for a new rewards system from the campus cafes.
As of Aug. 10, all of the on-campus cafes fea-ture a new beverage re-wards program that offers special deals on Mondays and Fridays of every week. The previous program was a beverage club cards system.
Before the card pro-gram ended, students with beverage club cards could get a punch on their cards for every drink they purchased and would get a free drink after getting nine punches.
“Any student could participate as long as they had their card,” said Selena Woodson, student manager of the Memorial Union Market & Cafe. “Any card would work at any
store, so you could use it anywhere you wanted.”
As of the switch on Aug. 10, all cards and unre-deemed punches are void, meaning they can no lon-ger be used when purchas-ing beverages.
“We still have a lot of customers that come in and bring their red cards thinking that it’s still go-ing on and then get re-ally upset,” Woodson said. “Then we have conversa-tions back and forth with customers about the nega-tives and positives of [the new program].”
Instead of using cards and punches to reward students, the new program just offers special deals ev-ery Monday and Friday to anyone interested.
“You can get a 16-ounce coffee for $1 on Mondays and then a dol-lar off specialty drinks on Fridays,” said Brittney Rutherford of Dining Services.
The beverage club card program required customers to have their card on them in order to get rewarded, which often caused problems when customers forgot or couldn’t find their cards when checking out at the register.
“It would slow down lines because sometimes people wouldn’t know where their card was. They would check their bag and then check their wallet and sometimes realize they don’t have it,” Woodson said. “It just created a lot of hassle, so I can see why they switched.”
With the new deals on Monday and Friday, customers are no longer required to carry anything on them to get rewarded. Anyone buying a qualify-ing beverage will be au-tomatically given the dis-count upon checkout.
“I feel like right now it’s still in its trial phase,”
Woodson said. “I see the negatives and positives of both, so I try to explain that to the customers. I think because it’s just starting, they’re not really used to it.”
A total of nine loca-tions will be participat-ing in the drink deals program, including all eight on-campus cafes as well as the Starbucks
in the Frederiksen Court Community Center. Caribou Coffee is not tak-ing part in the program, so students should note that these deals won’t be avail-able in the Hub.
“I think the biggest thing for us this fall is go-ing to be awareness,” Rutherford said. “We’ll see — once that awareness is built — if people actually
like it or if customers liked the old way or have new suggestions.”
Student feedback is encouraged and any stu-dents with suggestions can contact ISU Dining via Twitter, phone or email.
“It will be interesting to see what students think of it this fall,” Rutherford said. “For us, it was time to try something different.”

Let’s go back to 1922. It is May and the first Veishea is in full swing. There is a weekend full of events and activities to celebrate Iowa State’s colleges and their accomplishments. Fast forward to 1988, where the mentality of students on campus became more fo-cused on drinking and less focused on what Veishea was supposed to be — so much so that during the Veishea of ‘88, riots broke out.
The riots of 1988 may have been the first, but they were definitely not the last. Riots followed in 1992, 1994 and 2004. In 2005, Veishea was canceled but sprang to life again in 2006. After being generally problem-free for 10 years, we came back in full force, rioting again during the 2014 Veishea. What many students weren’t thinking about was the fact that this would be the last Veishea to ever happen at Iowa State.
We murdered a 92-year tradition.
Many people are up-set about President Steven Leath’s final decision to end Veishea, but we really have no one to blame but ourselves when looking at the whole picture. The traditions of Veishea when they first began did not
revolve around drinking, but somewhere through the years drinking became more important to stu-dents than what Veishea actually represented: A cel-ebration of education.
Drinking and drug use is common among college students, but when did it become our first priority? In recent years, the num-ber of college students who participate in binge drink-ing has spiked significantly. Binge drinking could lead to violence, including sex-ual assaults, alcohol over-doses and poor academic performance. Looking back on the 2014 Veishea celebration, it is easy to see how drinking was a big fac-tor in causing the riots.
Four out of five stu-dents drink in college, half of which are binge drinkers, according to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Alcoholism and binge drinking is re-sponsible for 150,000 an-nual health problems in college students and 1,825 deaths of 18- to 24-year-olds per year.
Students at school are under plenty of stress from professors, friends and family to perform at their full potential. In many cas-es, students get overloaded
with busy schedules and decide to use alcohol as a way of relaxing on the weekends. It seems clear that the social stigma of drinking in college makes you “cool” when in reality it could be causing more problems in our lives than actually helping.
We aren’t preaching to you to tell you to stop drinking. After all, this is college and it is not unrea-sonable to want to have a drink with some friends after a long day of classes. What we are saying is we should act like the adults we are supposed to be when we do drink.
Students were the bloodline of Veishea; stu-dents created the event and when students got drunk and rioted, we poisoned it with alcohol and killed it.
Drinking is not going anywhere — people have been drinking for years. What needs to change is the way people act when they are drinking. Drinking responsibly is part of what is expected of us as adults. Therefore, when Veishea is taken away because stu-dents could not behave themselves under the ef-fects of alcohol, we have to take the consequences. Last year, the major con-sequence of irresponsible
drinking was the loss of Veishea.
A reflection on our at-titudes of that night and how it felt the next day while walking on campus knowing that our prized tradition was going to be under fire is necessary. We have already laid one tradi-tion to rest this year — we should do our best to keep from drinking any more of Iowa State’s traditions to death.

OPINION Monday, Aug. 25, 2014 7
The Internet has re-cently found a new sensation — the ALS
Ice Bucket Challenge. The challenge has not only cre-ated a significant increase in donations but has also helped raise awareness of ALS.
ALS stands for amyo-trophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. ALS is a lethal neurodegenerative disease that causes motor neurons to die, which leads to loss of control of muscle movement.
There is currently no cure for ALS, nor is there any treatment available to reverse the effects of the disease. According to the ALS Association website, however, there is one Food and Drug Administration-approved drug available that helps slow the progres-sion of the disease.
So where did the con-nection between the chal-lenge and ALS fundraising happen? ESPN reports that Pete Frates of Boston is “credited with creating the challenge along with friend and fellow ALS patient Pat Quinn.”
In spring 2012, Frates, a former Boston College baseball player, was diag-nosed with ALS and de-cided to take action. In summer 2014, Frates took to Facebook, nominat-ing friends to take a video of themselves pouring a bucket of ice water on their
heads and post it on social media as a means to raise awareness.
The rules of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge are as follows: upon nomina-tion, people have 24 hours to douse themselves with a bucket of ice water. If they fail to complete the chal-lenge, they donate $100 to an ALS charity.
The videos soon caught the attention of athletes all over the Boston area. Eventually, athletes all over the nation began par-ticipating in the challenge. The challenge initially was a gesture to raise aware-ness and quickly became a fundraiser.
The movement did not end with athletes, however. It seemed as if countless ac-tors, actresses, writers, mu-sicians, politicians, billion-aires and everyday folk alike were posting videos for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge overnight.
With the vast increase of popularity among the videos, it was clear that people were dumping the water on their heads. But a dumped bucket was the way to opt out on dona-tions. Because of that, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge started to gain a lot of dis-approval as well.
It is however a miscon-ception that people con-tinue participating without donating. Frates did not start the challenge with the donation clause attached. The donation aspect was added on somewhere down the line and that rule stuck.
Celebrities like Zachary
Quinto, Taylor Swift, Carey Hart and Troian Bellisario have spoken out about the necessity to donate as well. Swift completed the chal-lenge while also donating $100 on her behalf as well as $100 each for all the people participating in her video. Hart commented on his Instagram that he took the donation route, saving the water.
Since California is in the middle of a drought, Bellisario not only partici-pated but also had a tip for future participants — share your water. She went on to nominate three others, in-cluding Quinto.
Quinto went one step further than Bellisario by donating instead of par-ticipating. He wrote on his Instagram, “in light of the staggering drought in California and the desper-ate need for clean drinking water in developing coun-tries, I opt for donating di-rectly to project ALS in lieu of an ice bucket challenge.”
New trends regarding the challenge are forming daily. However, the dona-tions are coming in as well. The New York Times wrote that the ALS Association “had received $41.8 million in donations from July 29 until Aug. 21.”
The Times further stated that with the 739,000 new donors, contributions from July and August alone are “more than double the $19.4 million in total contri-butions the association re-ceived during the year that ended Jan. 31, 2013.”
Personally, I have seen
my peers start the challenge within the past couple of days. It is discouraging but understanding to hear people so happily pour the bucket instead of donat-ing the $100. Being college students, we are not always fiscally able to donate $100 when that money is needed for books, groceries or rent.
However, I urge my fellow peers to take action another way. The challenge has been evolving, so why not have a different op-tion for college students? I propose that we not only participate but also fully educate ourselves on the cause. Learn about the dis-ease, donate that $5 sitting on your dresser, go door-to-door canning for donations.
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge began with hopes of widespread aware-ness and that’s the least we can do. Whether you donate more or less than the $100, drench yourself in freezing water or donate and partic-ipate, there is a lot you can do for very little. The key is to get moving.
As someone who at-tended this year’s Family Leadership Summit at Stephens Auditorium, I must inform Daily readers that Adam Guenther in his letter is propagating lies about the event.
First, the event was not paid for by Iowa State or tax payer dollars. People who wanted to attend paid mon-ey out of their own pockets. There was no “hate” being preached. While the speak-ers and people who attend-ed may disagree with rede-fining marriage by judicial
fiat, “hate” was nowhere to be seen.
The only hate being spewed is from the radi-cal LGBT activists such as Guenther. As someone who is a conservative Christian and has a gay relative, I don’t harbor any hate to-ward those who are LGBT. I believe and support the LGBT community’s right to exist and speak its mind.
It is sad that the other side of the marriage debate wants to silence and crimi-nalize those who have a different view. No one was forced to attend or pay for the event. On the other hand, our tuition and fee money goes to fund the
Office of LGBT Student Services and no student has a choice to opt out if paying for this office violates their conscience or convictions.
I am tired of the hy-pocrisy. Conservative and Christian groups on cam-pus don’t go around de-manding that other views be silenced on campus that they disagree with. We are not the ones bullying or intimidating anyone. It is only the radical leftists on campus that are acting like censorious Nazis.
I encourage the ISU community to hold the ide-als of what an institution of higher learning is supposed to be.

S a t u r d a y s ’ s Cardinal and Gold Volleyball Scrimmage was loaded with im-pressive performanc-es from a variety of Cyclones, both old and new.
Familiar ISU faces like former American Volleyball Coaches Association A l l - A m e r i c a n Honorable Mention
selections Mackenzie Bigbee and Victoria Hurtt along with sophomore Ciara Capezio combined for 50 of the match’s 116 kills.
While the of-fensive prowess was certainly on display, the Cardinal and Gold teams also tallied 10 blocks, something on which the Cyclones have recently placed emphasis.
“We played at a really high level,” Capezio said. “We’ve been working on our blocking these last two weeks and I think it showed a lot. I still need to work on it, but I think as a team it’s gotten so much better and we can
still take it to the next level.”
S o p h o m o r e transfer Suzanne Horner, who had a promising start to her ISU career in the spring exhibition sea-son, racked up 15 digs and a match-high 48 assists.
“I started off with a couple of nerves, but once those settled it was a lot of fun get-ting to know what the atmosphere is going to be like in [Hilton Coliseum],” Horner said. “It was more of a real match setting, so it was good.”
Freshman Alexis Conaway also turned heads, totaling 14 kills and a .667 hitting percentage. Conaway,
like most players on the team, rotated with both the Cardinal and Gold squads in the scrimmage. In her time spent on the Cardinal side of the net, she converted nine kills on nine attempts.
Though the Orange City, Iowa, na-tive has yet to see col-legiate competition, head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch is happy with how Conaway is playing in the preseason.
“She had a cou-ple ‘wow’ moments,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I didn’t know how she would do her first time out, but I thought she stepped it up.”
As for which newly-enlisted play-er made the biggest splash, Johnson-Lynch gave the nod to the freshman hitter/blocker.
“Alexis Conaway would be the one that stands out,” Johnson-Lynch said. “You don’t even really have to know our team to be impressed with her athleticism. You can just watch her and be pretty impressed with some of the things she does. I think she made a pretty good case for herself today.”
Though ques-tions on how to re-place last year’s se-niors loomed in the offseason, Johnson-Lynch and the ISU
volleyball team seem to have found a groove heading into the regular season.
“I thought it was a pretty high level of play on both sides,” Johnson-Lynch said. “It was just good vol-leyball. Some years you come in here and it’s not very good volleyball that first match of the year, so I enjoyed seeing that.”
The ISU volley-ball team begins its regular season Friday when it plays host to No. 3 Stanford.
The Cyclones will then have a Sunday showdown with No. 13 Florida State at Hilton Coliseum as part of the AVCA Showcase.
One thing ISU vol-leyball and head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch want to avoid this upcom-ing season is a failure to communicate.
“Volleyball is one of the few sports where the ball never stops mov-ing. You only get to stop it when you go to serve, otherwise the ball is mov-ing, so communication is key,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I think communication before and after the play is just as important as com-munication during the play.”
The Cyclones often use short hand to describe what they are seeing across the net, be it the opposing hitters tendencies or read-ing the court and deciding which blocking scheme to implement.
As a setter, a heavy portion of the communi-cative burden falls on the shoulders of sophomore transfer Suzanne Horner. Horner talked about its multiple facets on the court, including send-ing clear messages to her teammates while at the same time sending mixed messages to the other side of the net.
“As a setter, I commu-
nicate with my hitters on what I want them to hit,” Horner said. “There are so many different sets in vol-leyball and my job is to tell each hitter what they are going to hit so we can kind of psyche out the other team, so they are not sure quite where we are going.”
Not all of the interac-tion is verbal, however, as Horner said sign language is also an important aspect of implementing strategy mid-set.
“We have hand signals for all of our sets,” Horner said. “Whenever we send signals we try to make sure [our opponents] do not see it. We send a lot of signals behind our backs.”
Horner added that oc-casionally, covert precau-tions must be foregone and complete clarity allowed to prevail.
“Sometimes, you just [have] to say it so every-body knows,” Horner said. “The other team is doing the same thing, so you can pick little things up but you try to give away as little as possible.”
During the preseason, as freshman arrive and new players find them-selves in the rotation, com-munication plays a key role in teammates familiarizing themselves with one an-other while defining their roles.
“It is very easy to be timid…when you are a freshman and you do not know anyone. That is not a good excuse but it is a reality,” said sophomore Ciara Capezio, who dealt with the pressure of being a newcomer in 2013. “But if you come in and talk, it
does not really matter what you say. It just helps ev-eryone else know that you know what is going on and makes it easier for every-one else.”
Johnson-Lynch said that good examples of vo-cal leaders on the team are senior Victoria Hurtt,
junior Caitlin Nolan and sophomore Natalie Vondrak, who derive their verbal nature from a deep-seeded competitiveness.
Throughout the year, that competitive and chatty nature may spread to some of those Cyclones who are less verbally inclined.
“It is hard to be a re-ally quiet team, and we have some players who are pretty quiet,” Johnson-Lynch said. “But we have enough that are vocal to offset that balance. I think, overall, it is a pretty good team in terms of the way we communicate.”

With the end of fall camp and the regular sea-son now underway, the ISU football team has set its sights on its first noncon-ference game.
And it won’t exactly be a “gimme.”
North Dakota State is the first team on Iowa State’s schedule and the Football Championship Subdivision powerhouse will look to continue its cur-rent winning streak against bigger programs. The Bison have defeated four straight Football Bowl Subdivision opponents since 2010, most notably defeating Kansas State in Manhattan to kick off the 2013 season.
However, the Bison have lost 24 seniors to graduation and coach Craig Bohl left for the head
coaching gig at Wyoming, opening the door for Chris Klieman, who had served under Bohl as the defensive coordinator.
“They cover the whole field, they play run support as well as anybody, they’re a good, well-coached unit,” said Mark Mangino, the Iowa State offensive coordinator.
Mangino said that in the course of fall camp and now in preparation for North Dakota State, his offense has picked up on some of the nuances of his system that they didn’t grasp in the spring — even if it was just improving its general knowledge of the system and fundamentals.
“I like the progress of our offense as a whole,” Mangino said. “There’s not a part of our team that isn’t lightyears ahead of where we were at the end of spring. We’ve made im-provement in every area — there’s no question about that — but we understand we still have a lot of work to do.”
While Mangino will be polishing the offense this week before the season opener, Wally Burnham, Iowa State’s defensive co-ordinator, will be looking to shore up a few things in the defensive secondary.
Burnham said most of the mistakes made in the secondary during fall camp come from lack of experience and reps, like problems reading the of-fense and changing cover-age prior to the snap as well as communicating down to the linebackers.
“Understanding and the knowledge and having enough reps to see back there and making the right checks in the coverage and letting the linebackers know that they’re changing coverage,” Burnham said of the mistakes.
Burnham also said that Brandon Jensen and Devlyn Cousin would be occupying the tackle posi-tions up front.
Iowa State plays North Dakota State at 11 a.m. Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium.

committees — are not lost on the president or the university.
The problem, Hill continued to say, was that the focus of Veishea had shifted from celebrating the university to enter-taining students.
“On the one hand, you have the official Veishea, which is the activity that people love and revere. It’s all good,” Hill said. “Then you have the unofficial Veishea that does virtually everything that’s not good. You can’t separate them. That’s what those reports underscored to me.”
However, Hill said he realizes that the unofficial events centered on beer bongs, house parties and binge drinking will not fall by the wayside.
“It’s common in higher education all over the country today,” Hill said about party culture. “That leads to violence, increased incidents of sexual assault, a number of things. That’s one of the top concerns on college campuses today.”
Katie Allen, junior in mathematics, reinforced Hill’s point that the focus of Veishea had become less about the univer-sity and more about a culture of partying and entertainment.
“My parents went here and it wasn’t a big deal because they were all legal to drink. I think alco-hol’s always been a factor because it’s illegal now,” Allen said. “It was almost 100 years old. What’s the problem now? My parents went here in the ‘70s. It was a drinking problem then, it’s a drinking prob-lem now.”
Following the 2004 riot, then President Gregory Geoffroy can-celed the 2005 events, put-ting Veishea on a some-what probationary period. In 2014, the 10-year an-niversary of the 2004 riot, festivities got out of hand as early as Tuesday night without the usual out-of-town celebrators.
“I know there’s been riots before, but obviously we’re not going to be that crazy next year if it contin-ues,” Allen said. “We made it 10 more years, and we made it 10 years without anything happening.”
Allen said instead of canceling the tradition, the university should have focused on teaching stu-dents how to recognize when a situation gets out of hand and the warning signs of a riot. Students should also realize that simply being in the crowd amplifies the situation.
Sydney Weis, fresh-man in animal science,
said she had the oppor-tunity to participate in Veishea activities before but had still looked for-ward to enjoying it as a student.
“I’m upset because it’s a school tradition and I’m never going to be able to experience it [as a stu-dent],” Weis said. “I think it kind of just got blown out of proportion. It was something I was looking forward to.”
The unofficial tradi-tions already thrive on so-cial media with students and companies planning activities — some cen-tered on alcohol and par-ties, some traditional.
“It’s unfortunate, but you have to expect that,” Hill said. “You’ve got something that’s been eliminated that a segment of the population really enjoyed. There’s noth-ing at this point in time that’s been designated to replace it, so there’s that vacuum.”
“I’ll definitely partici-pate, but I don’t think it’s going to be a problem,” Allen said of the events.
Despite Allen’s pre-diction, Hill said the col-laboration between ad-ministrators and Ames city officials will still be strong throughout the year.
“Something’s going to happen, either planned
or unplanned … or both,” Hill said. “I’d like to think we will get involved in having something that will be planned and sanc-tioned by the university during that time.”
After his Aug. 7 deci-sion, President Leath said any events planned by the university will have a clear focus, not a weeklong cel-ebration that leads to a lot of hype.
“I think our major focus would be on stu-dents and activities that they can engage in with-out having that risky be-havior associated with it,” Hill said. “Whether or not we do something that would try to appeal to alumni and others at the same time is yet to be de-termined. When you start trying to pull all those big entities together, that’s when you lose focus and get these big events. That draws the folks you want to draw and the folks you don’t want to draw.”
The important thing, Hill said, is to not rush planning of events for this year. Any event planned may lose focus and create an opportunity for other risky behaviors.
As for students plan-ning to put on events like the Veishea parade again this spring, Hill said plan away, as long as it does not focus on risky behaviors.
more in kinesiology and health and fellow ISU track and field member, spent the first 18 years of his life in Ferguson be-fore moving to Ames for college. Ingram was in Ferguson when the rioting took place.
Both Ingram and White repeatedly stressed that the rioting, loot-ing and vandalizing were done by the minority. The vast majority of protesters were peaceful, they said.
“Some people weren’t really protesting. Some people took advantage of the situation and looted and stuff … but those weren’t necessarily pro-testers,” Ingram said. “As soon as the looting started and the media started re-porting on it, other people watching at home saw that and started to try to take advantage of the situ-ation and steal stuff be-cause the police weren’t really able to do anything at that point.”
Ferguson police re-sponded to the violence with force. On a nightly basis, Ferguson police were spotted with ar-mored vehicles and auto-matic weapons through-out Ferguson.
Video coverage of the protesting that circulated throughout social media proved that, at least on oc-casion, peaceful protest-ers were shot with rubber bullets and had tear gas canisters thrown at them.
“The protesting was very peaceful. Obviously it was disruptive because that’s what protesting is supposed to be. It’s sup-posed to get attention and make our voices be heard,” Ingram said. “The police were like milita-rized, like a SWAT team. They had automatic weapons pointed at civil-ians and that really made people angry. There’s no reason for an automatic weapon to be in the face of a peaceful protester.”
Ingram and White both feel that the police presence amped up the
tension and believe that was a major reason for why violence broke out.
“I think the night[s] of the violent protests, peo-ple were scared. People had guns pointed at them and rubber bullets were being shot,” Ingram said. “People were scared and felt like our rights were being taken away.”
The Ferguson police claimed the use of force was warranted, because of the fact that some protests had been violent.
White and Ingram said that even when pro-tests were peaceful, the protests were dispersed by unwarranted force.
“People were peace-fully protesting and [the police] have riot gear and guns pointed at them,” White said. “Police are supposed to protect and serve and at this point they’re not protecting us. It’s hard to trust the police to protect you when you have an unarmed man be-ing killed.”
The violence that oc-curred in Ferguson be-came major news across the country. Issues of rac-ism, police brutality and prejudice were debated by political pundits across the country. The happen-ings in Ferguson dominat-ed the news cycle.
“I really agree with the ‘no justice, no peace’ saying because something had to be done,” White said. “And although I don’t agree with the violence, I feel like if that wouldn’t have happened, then [Brown’s death] wouldn’t be getting the attention that it has gotten.”
On Aug. 14, five days after Brown was killed, both Ingram and White joined protests in downtown St. Louis by the Gateway Arch and later that night on West Florissant Street, where some of the rioting had occurred.
White was in a group text message with friends asking if anybody would be interested in join-ing the protests with her. White also texted Ingram
and invited him to join.“I wanted to go and
protest because our voices have to be heard,” White said. “I just can’t sit by and let it happen. If I just sit by and let something hap-pen, it’s like I don’t care. And I care a lot, so we got a group to meet up and we went to protest.”
Though violence had broken out the previous four nights between the police and protesters, Ingram and White still wanted to be a part of the protest. They knew it could potentially be dan-gerous, but they decided it was worth the risk.
Fortunately, for the first time in four nights, violence did not break out between the police and civilians.
“Everybody was so close and we were able to come together for a good cause and try to make a difference,” Ingram said. “People were very much still mad and upset about what happened, but we were happy that we were able to come together and weren’t denied our right to peacefully protest. It was important to me, since it was so close to home, to go out and support [Brown’s] family and be a part of the community effort.”
Both Ingram and White have now returned to Ames in preparation for the fall semester, but both are still searching for answers. The main ques-tion on their minds is why more information has not been released about Brown’s death.
“To us, the evidence is there ... especially, when he was shot at least six times,” White said. “That’s not something that should happen to an unarmed man.”
Ingram was also clear on his stance on Brown’s death.
“What that officer did, in my mind, is a crime,” Ingram said. “It was force that did not need to be used. He murdered some-body’s child.”
While both Ingram and White took issue with
the police’s procedure following Brown’s death as well as with the riot-ing procedure, they also both took offense to their hometown area’s portray-al in the media.
In their view, they felt like Ferguson was be-ing portrayed as a violent neighborhood. They felt the media gave people the wrong impression of what Ferguson is normally like.
“It was weird coming [back to Ames] because a lot of people either don’t know what’s going on [in Ferguson] or jumped to conclusions. I’ve heard things that are completely false testimonies based on what they thought they heard on the news, and that’s really frustrat-ing just because it reflects poorly on where I grew up,” Ingram said. “That’s my home.”
Both White and Ingram repeatedly stated that Ferguson is not a vio-lent area. Being from the St. Louis area, they both admitted that crime is present, but they said that Ferguson has never been a violent neighborhood.
“This is the town where I’ve grown up in. I’ve lived here all 18 years of my life before college. I’ve never been assault-ed. I’ve never had a gun pointed at me. I’ve never been robbed. I’ve never gotten in a fight,” Ingram said. “Ferguson has al-ways been a safe place to live.”
But in the days since Brown’s death, Ferguson has not been a safe place to live. The protesting continues, and Ingram said he thinks protesting will continue until the sit-uation is resolved.
“Usually whenever something like this hap-pens, it’s big for awhile and then you won’t hear about the trial until a year later, and by that time people are just kind of tired by it,” Ingram said. “I think people got fed up with that, so [the people of Ferguson] refuse to stop until we get answers and we get justice.”
