he beige-wall classroom comes alive with noise as students arrive and form small groups, scattering throughout the room at long wooden tables to work on presentations. One group puts the finishing touches on a poster as another group runs through a presentation. Books, papers, and markers are strewn across the wooden tables that line the carpeted classroom, which contains a single computer and projector. The classroom has filled up quickly on this cool October evening with around 30 people gathered to hear the presentations. Many are college students, wearing jeans and sweaters. Others seated throughout the classroom are older men wearing the same standard gray T-shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers assigned to inmates at the Iowa Medical and Classification Center, also known as Oakdale, in Coralville. An unusual mix of people, to be sure. But this class — which brings inmates and University of Iowa students together once a week — is unusual. In fact, not many other communities, or even states, have anything similar. The seven-week course, One Community, One Book, is a one-credit-hour course offered at Oakdale this semester as a part of the UI college in prison program Liberal Arts Beyond Bars. The program is the first college in prison program at a public university in the state and the largest college in prison program serving the most students at a public Research 1 flagship university in the country. Program director and course instructor Kathrina Litchfield begins to take the roll, and the boisterous group of students quiets down. “Kaitlyn, Matt, Daniel, Callie, Wyatt, Zach, Michael …” “Here,” Michael Blackwell replies as his name is called during roll call. The 49-year-old is seated at the back of the classroom. He is serving a life sentence and has been in prison since 1991. He’s served time at the Iowa State Penitentiary in Fort Madison and the Anamosa State Penitentiary and arrived at Oakdale a little over a year ago. He is one of 13 inmates, or “inside students,” enrolled in the course. The class is the first co-learning opportunity of its kind in which 12 undergraduate students, called “outside students,” from the UI campus go into the prison for class. Together, the students have been doing a close reading of the 2018 One Community, One Book selection Reading with Patrick: A Teacher, a Student, and a Life-Changing Friendship, by Michelle Kuo. The reading program is a partnership between the UI campus and the community that aims to promote human-rights education through literature. Through the reading, the class has focused on the theme “Redesigning the American Dream,” the theme for the UI spring 2019 semester. With this theme in mind, the students work in small groups to analyze and create presentations over four main readings: The Fire Next Time, by James Baldwin; The Other Wes Moore, by Wes Moore; Our America, by LeAlan Jones and Lloyd Newman; and Writing My Wrongs, by Shaka Senghor.

Researchers at the University of Iowa and Iowa State University have teamed up to develop a new influenza vaccine that, if it is efficient in combating the disease, could protect users for up to a decade. UI pathology Professor Thomas Waldschmidt said the new vaccine has proven effective in preventing sickness in laboratory populations of mice and ferrets. He also said a future phase of testing will involve introducing the vaccine and testing its effectiveness in macaques at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Primate Research Center. The trials are necessary, he said, to Waldschmidt ensure the vaccine’s safety before it is eventually introduced to humans. Waldschmidt said the research team hopes it will prove effective at fighting various forms of the flu so that the virus will need years to evolve to a stage at which a new vaccine needs to be developed. He is part of the group working on the new vaccine,

Wyatt Dlouhy/The Daily Iowan Michael Blackwell laughs while author Michelle Kuo signs his copy of Reading with Patrick: A Teacher, a Student, and a Life-Changing Friendship during a One Community, One Book class at the Oakdale prison on Oct. 25.
BARS CONTINUED FROM FRONT Blackwell’s group read Baldwin’s book, and each student selected a quote to discuss in the presentation, focusing on amplifying Baldwin’s marginalized voice and perspective. “This class has taught me how to stretch myself, how to listen to other people’s viewpoints and know that they’re valid, and not just think that my own way is the right way,” Blackwell said. “It’s opened me up on a deeper level than just class. It’s opened me up as a human being.” Being a part of the class has not only changed his perspective, it has also changed the outside students’ perspectives of incarcerated individuals. “It’s been enlightening to meet these guys and for them to treat us like humans and not like mistakes,” Blackwell said. “We’re students right along with them.
That kind of restored my faith in humanity.” UI junior Zach Lively said he had no idea what to expect initially — the class has challenged him and been a welcoming environment. “This is an educational experience that most peo-
own. “It’s been a very humanizing experience for people who are incarcerated,” Lively said. “They’ve helped broaden my perspective, and the takeaway overall would be that everyone has experiences and stories that are vital

Most people aren’t thinking about what happens in prisons, and I think it’s an important perspective that people should take a look at.” Lively, an English and education major enrolled in the course, said he’s enjoyed hearing the perspectives of the inside students on the material they have been reading because they are so different from his
and important to the larger narrative of the American Dream.” UI sophomore Callie Hauerwas, an English major with a secondary education focus, said that like Lively, she was unsure of what to expect from taking a class in a prison. But being a part of it, she said, has been one of the best experiences she’s had at the UI. “On our first day, we talked about our American Dreams and what our individual

dreams are,” Hauerwas said. “While most people would talk about property, money, or making it big, these guys’ answers were about the want to find friendship, and to find community, and to see their sons graduate. It was just the most raw, human connection.” Hauerwas said the bonds she has been able to form with the inside students have really affected her and challenged the stereotypes she had when she started the class. “I pride myself on being pretty open-minded, but [this class] gave me even more of a chance to step in the shoes of people that I typically wouldn’t have,” she said. Engaging in class discussions, completing homework assignments, and putting together group presentations has been a shift for the inside students participating in the program after having been away from education for years. “It’s difficult after all this time,” said inside student Daniel Hicks, who previously earned a journeyman license in electricity before he was incarcerated. “To come back and do these types of classes was a little bit of a shock.” The 42-year-old is new to the program — he started taking classes this past summer. “I think the biggest thing is to feel human again,” Hicks said. “And the acknowledgment that we can do something with our time while we’re here in prison other than just do time.” The program is just a year old. It piloted in the fall of 2017 with a noncredit speaker series in which nine UI professors volunteered to teach introductory courses to 33 students. This past spring, the program offered numerous classes for credit, including two speaker series, a yoga

course, and participation in the Oakdale community choir. “There are tons of opportunities as soon as we recognize that this is a legitimate learning space,” the program director “Study after study after study tells us above treatment programs, above lengthening sentences, above seclusion, the most effective approach to reducing recidivism is education.” As Litchfield looks ahead to the future of Liberal Arts Beyond Bars, her top priorities are building up the program to be financially stable and providing a path to bachelor’s degrees for the incarcerated students. Currently the inside students’ tuition is being covered by University College, which is one of the UI’s 12 colleges and is home to numerous programs. Associate Dean of University College Andrew Beckett said the college has funded the program with limited gift monies and is not using tuition or state aid. When it comes to instructors of the program, most have volunteered and have not been compensated. The program was awarded a two-year $150,000 grant through the Institute for Higher Education Policy, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization committed to promoting access to and success in higher education for all students, with a special focus on underserved populations such as incarcerated students. With the grant money, program leaders are working on developing a budget and initially plan to use the funding to create two, twoyear staff positions to help oversee the program and raise funds.

Book course was a way to generate tuition revenue from the classes being offered through the program. Litchfield said she would like to teach the course again and continue to use the co-learning model in other courses. Along with applying for grants to help fund the program, Litchfield is also looking into partnering with Iowa Central Community College, which is involved in a three-year pilot program that opens up the opportunity for those who are currently incarcerated to apply for federal Pell Grants, a form of financial aid awarded to students with high financial need. “This would be a huge win for us because our role would be to support the students but not incur the cost of instruction,” Beckett said in an email to The Daily Iowan. Iowa Central Community College has developed degree programs online at the North Central Correctional Facilities in Rockwell City, Iowa, where incarcerated students can work toward associate degrees. Litchfield hopes to enroll her students in the online associate-degree programs through Iowa Central Community College and then transfer those credits to the UI so that the incarcerated students can work toward earning bachelor’s degrees. “The University of Iowa does not offer associate degrees, but it is a really practical milestone for those who have spotty access to education and would like to pursue a bachelor’s,” Litchfield said. “It’s a huge step for us … because it means we can really streamline the program. We can work with students toward finishing degrees, which I think makes this program all that more valuable.”

City employees address construction concerns Despite increased concerns and complaints about construction, engineers assure that the results will be worth the delays. BY KATIE ANN MCCARVER katie-mccarver@uiowa.edu
With the installation of traffic lights, the expansion of streets, and other additions, there has been a great deal of construction throughout Iowa City. As changes continue, many people have expressed concern about safety and efficiency. UI law student Agnieszka Gaertner regularly uses a route along Myrtle Avenue and South Riverside Drive to get to her classes, which, she said, is the fastest option but not always the safest. “When you have to go below the bridge, this is the part where there’s no path walk,” Gaertner said. “It’s very narrow, and cars pass by really, really close — inches away.” The construction itself is not her obstacle, she said, but rather the pathway alongside it. Among other safety concerns, she said, the pathway is filled with small rocks that make it easy to slip, particularly after or during rain. “Right now, it’s really dangerous,” Gaertner said. “And I think this is something they could easily and with low cost clean up.” Gaertner said her other option would be to backtrack when leaving her apartment, cross the street, and taking the next bridge, which may
be safer but would extend her trip to classes by nearly 10 minutes. City engineer Jason Havel said the construction at the intersection of Myrtle Avenue and Riverside Drive has very little effect on the pathway people feel unsafe crossing. “That is an issue that’s been there long before this project,” he said. “We always try to take it into consideration, that people have lives outside of construction, and we need to accommodate their ability to get through the area.” Havel said the construction in that area began this fall and will wrap up soon for the winter, with a likely couple months of work left in the spring. Goals include improving the intersection at Riverside Drive, with additional traffic signals, crosswalks, and turn lanes. “With all these projects, there are certain requirements we have to meet,” Havel said. “I certainly understand [the] frustration of pedestrians, but once these improvements are done, I think it’s going to be a lot better situation.” He said that with the increased construction throughout the city this year, many people are likely to be more aware of it. However, while construction on Riverside Drive con-
Shivansh Ahuja/The Daily Iowan Construction continues at the intersection of Myrtle Avenue and Riverside Drive on Sunday. tinues, other projects are wrapping up, such as the Gateway Project along North Dubuque Street. “I just appreciate everyone that travels on Dubuque Street for being patient,” special-project administrator Melissa Clow said. “We’ve
been able to keep moving forward.” Despite setbacks because of excessive rain, Clow said, all travel lanes on Dubuque are open, and the remaining work consists of street-light installation, seeding and landscaping, and a traffic bar-
rier rail. Construction on the new Park Road Bridge at the intersection with Dubuque Street and elevating Dubuque were consequence of the 2008 flood. Clow said the Gateway Project proved itself this fall when flooding did not sig-
nificantly affect traffic or the nearby Mayflower Hall. “If Dubuque hadn’t been elevated, we would have been looking at closing the road,” Clow said. “So it’s performing really well, traffic’s been maintained, and students are still at Mayflower.”
Independent businesses decline nationally Small local businesses are feeling the heat of big corporations disruping their markets, forcing some to close up shop. BY AADIT TAMBE
aadit-tambe@uiowa.edu Small businesses are on the decline across the country, recent research shows, as they face difficulties in getting started that their larger competitors don’t face. According to data from U.S. Small Business Administration, small businesses account for 48 percent of employment in the U.S. A report published by Forbes states eight out of 10 small businesses that start up fail in the first 18 months. “Small businesses in the country have always faced challenges,” University of Iowa economics Professor Anne Villamil said. Research conducted by Villamil illustrated that small businesses had risky returns. Because independent firms have owners who invest substantial personal funds, the risk gets compounded, she said. “The funds are not diversified, which is the first rule of finances,” she said. “If you’re putting all your money in your own business, that means you don’t have a diversified portfolio.” Close to 90 percent of owners work at their firms, she said. People in the family also work there. “This also increases risk, because if the firm goes un-
der, you’ve lost your job, and you’ve also lost your family’s jobs,” Villamil said. Small businesses also have difficulty getting financial backing, such as loans, she said. “Recently, all firms in the U.S., but especially small firms, are facing a tight labor markets and increased health-care costs,” Villamil said. Small businesses, however, will always be an important part of the dynamic U.S. economy, she said. “Many firms start in garages and kitchens, and some grow to become Facebook or Martha Stewart Living,” she said. “Most do not grow to this size, measured in number of employees or assets, but people also value other aspects of entrepreneurship, such as participating in a family firm.” The trends in small businesses closing have been seen before, Villamil said. The tight labor market and increasing health-care costs are relatively new. “The labor market fluctuates over the business cycle, and health-care costs are a concerning trend, because most working-age people receive health insurance through their jobs,” she said. Villamil said that although small businesses are largely declining nationally, private-
ly owned bookstores are on the rise. Competition from online behemoths such as Amazon have been difficult for Prairie Lights, founder Jim Harris said. “This is documented nationally, because even large bookstores are going out of business,” he said. “It is very difficult to do business.” Prairie Lights has found opportunities such as author appearances and readings to attract people, he said. “Independent businesses are centerpieces of community,” he said. “They add an element of emotion for the people living in the commu-
nity.” Iowa Book, unlike Prairie Lights, aggressively markets itself and sells Hawkeye gear to increase revenue, he said. Artifacts, which has been in Iowa City for 23 years, is one of the few stores of its ilk
in the area. Steve Squires, who manages the establishment, said the store has been lucky to be in a good location, and it has great people who bring in unique antiques on consignment.
“With any business, there is always a bad possibility,” he said. “We don’t perceive that, but I think we would we would try to anticipate any changes and steer around. We are in a decent enough position right now.”

I was born and raised in Davenport by two immigrant parents. Especially since starting college, I have realized how much I truly love this state. I love taking in Iowa’s natural beauty — the prairies and the rolling hills and the bluffs. I love the normalcy of chatting with a stranger in the grocery-store checkout. I loved growing up with a feeling of community, even living in the state’s third largest city. And yet, as an Asian American, I also know what it’s like to be told I don’t belong in the home that I love. While I’ve encountered many kind strangers in grocery-store checkout lines, I’ve also been glared at and harassed. “Go back to your country,” strangers sometimes yell but usually mutter so nobody else can hear. This is a reality I have known — loving a place that does not always embrace me — since I was in elementary school, when I was called a “chink” by a girl even smaller than me. But I never felt that those who represent me in government were passive to that racist, anti-immigrant sentiment. Until now. To be honest, I didn’t pay much attention to state politics until I turned 18 more than two years ago. I hadn’t heard of Rep. Steve King and his controversial comments until then. I won’t talk about his supporters in this article, whom I wrote about last

I think too much time is spent chastising them instead of trying to understand them. At the end of the day, they do not represent me. But Gov. Kim Reynolds, who maintained King as her campaign chair — a man who has said “diversity is not our strength” and retweeted Neo-Nazis — does. “I can’t be held responsible for everyone’s comments. I can be held responsible for myself,” Reynolds said last month after King defended a far-right Austrian party founded by a former SS Nazi officer. And two days before the election, Sen. Chuck Grassley gave King an enthusiastic video endorsement. He cited King’s support of the farm bill, wind energy, and tax cuts for small businesses. “All these things are important to Iowans, and Iowans need him because his first concern is representing Iowans,” Grassley said. Overall, the Iowa GOP has endorsed King or remained silent about his remarks. Numerous corporations and the National Republican Congressional Committee have withdrawn their financial support, however. Grassley says King’s first concern is representing Io-
wans. But King’s belief that “we can’t restore our civilization with someone else’s babies” makes me question how faithfully he will represent the growing population of immigrants in his district and their babies. They are Iowans, too. Being anti-immigrant is not an inherently Republican platform, despite being one that Iowa has now passively embraced. In the past, “Iowa Nice” has extended to welcoming outsiders. This is most clearly seen in the legacy of former Republican Gov. Bob Ray, who died in July at age 89. Ray famously opened the state’s borders to around 10,000 Southeast Asian refugees in the 1970s and 1980s. He was the only U.S. governor to respond to letters from the Tai Dam, a minority ethnic group, who later settled in Iowa. As I said, I love this state. But as those in power hold fast to their ties with Iowa’s most hateful politician, I can’t help but think it is straying from its values. I won’t argue for why immigrants and their families deserve to be here, because we just do. Iowa Republicans have ashamedly stood by a politician who has all but said that we don’t.
testers went on their normal hate rant, suddenly a young student stood up next to the protesters and yelled a speech about love and acceptance. The young man soon grew an even bigger crowd; even a donations pot formed for a local LGBTQ-support charity that ended up raising more than $200 before I left for class. This showed me something: The best way to beat toxic hate is to use it as a platform to do good by promoting diversity and acceptance.

incidences of hate crimes occurred during the course of the year. In Psychology Today, Saul Levine wrote an article about describing traumatic events bringing people together. “Natural human impulses of empathy and communality are aroused and intensified. People of different ethnic groups, races, ages, and socioeconomic levels feel just as we do, and we sense an implicit kinship. Even as mere spectators, we feel almost as if we are ‘there’ sharing the pain of those most intimately affected.” It is always important to report acts of violence, discrimination and all other crimes that may happen.

There can never be a way to ban or stifle hate speech without violating the First Amendment of the Constitution. The ACLU said something quite inspiring in response: “Instead of symbolic gestures to silence ugly viewpoints, colleges and universities have to step up their efforts to recruit diverse faculty, students, and administrators; increase resources for student counseling; and raise awareness about bigotry and its history.” It has been a little more than a year after the white nationalist march in Charlottesville, Virginia, and there has been a rise in hate speech and hate crimes on college cam-
“Fifteen meals from a $5 rotisserie chicken” read a Pinterest article that intrigued me. I was searching for recipes that wouldn’t break the bank on a college budget. “This will do” I thought as a sad reality hit me. My younger brother, who worked at a deli his last year of high school, was the first to inform me about the luxuries of hot food that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients are denied. He told me that because prepared food was not covered by food stamps, most people could not afford to purchase hot food unless it was on sale. In researching the reasoning behind this, I found that food stamps pay for the food being purchased, not food being prepared for others. This logic is understandable, but something about demonizing hot food in-
to the same category such as beer and liquor seems like quite a punishment for customers of lower economic status. Strict guidelines surrounding SNAP may demonstrate that moral decisions cannot come from the hands of the government. SNAP benefits have recently made national headlines as the Trump administration proposed new work requirements, requiring recipients to work 20 hours a week or part-time. The administration does not address the guidelines to what food stamps can and cannot buy. For those whose needs go beyond what food stamps can provide, Crisis Centers and food pantries in local communities may be a better fit. Described as “a volunteer-driven organization that provides immediate and nonjudgmental support for individuals facing emotional, food, or financial crisis,” the Johnson County Crisis Center aims to provide relief for those in need. Its Food Bank supplies nonperishable items, produce, bakery, deli, dairy, and health and hygiene when they are donated by others in the community. It provides weekly assistance with no limit to the number of weeks, per year, one can visit. The Crisis Center also provides a monthly mobile food pantry to
residents of rural areas of Johnson County. This allows recipients to receive perishable and nonperishable food, baby, and household items. The only limitation is on the number of items per household size. The center prioritizes the needs of recipients rather than placing conditions on goods given to them. Volunteer-based groups such as the Crisis Center rely on donations and assistance through businesses, private donors, philanthropic organizations, and the religious community. It does not reach the scope of residents that the federal government can, so it is important that communities reach out to programs such as these to ensure that the center can meet the needs of recipients in a way that does not look down on them and can specialize programs to the needs of the community. It is remarkable to see the lives touched by crisis centers that do not dehumanize recipients. It is also important to note crisis centers, like that of Johnson County, can make the difference in a holiday meal that SNAP benefits cannot manage. $25 can provide a holiday meal for a family sharing the same community as you. Consider doing your part when higher levels of government cannot do theirs.

VACCINE CONTINUED FROM FRONT which he said has been in development for around five years. The reason seasonal vaccines are currently used is because the influenza virus is extremely adaptable. “Because of the immune system’s response to the virus, it [mutates], so antibodies will have difficulty recognizing and blocking it next year,” Waldschmidt said. The universal vaccine is designed to be inhaled as opposed to taken via injection to better fight the flu from the moment it enters the body. “We would like to drive a response that’s poised at the site of the infection: the lungs and nasal passages,” UI pathology Professor Kevin Legge said. In order to accomplish this, Legge and Waldschmidt collaborated with ISU Professor Balaji Narasimhan, whose expertise is in chemical and biological engineering. Narasimhan is involved with nanotechnology research and developed a biodegradable nanoparticle backbone that, when combined with an influenza virus protein payload, induces the immune system to attack cells infected with the influenza virus. It
WORKERS CONTINUED FROM FRONT space issues that restricted interaction with the community. “The benefit is not for the center,” he said. “It’s for the community.” Iowa City City Councilor Mazahir Salih, a community organizer for the center, said having a new space brings new energy. “We always need a bigger space, because we have such a diverse community,” she said. In the previous space, parents could bring their children to a makeshift play area, but in the new space, children have their own room with toys and books. Salih said it benefited low-income families who needed a place for their children while using the center’s resources. On Nov. 3, the center celebrated the opening of the new space with a potluck lunch. Morataya said the packed house had
also targets the surface of the virus and neutralizes it. “It’s 100 percent safe,” Narasimhan said about the nanoparticles. “[They provide] the antigen to the immune system for the appropriate amount of time [and] to the appropriate immune cells.” The new vaccine’s ability to protect against both old and new influenza virus strains gives it universal status, Legge said. The vaccine protects against H3 strains of the influenza A virus even when the vaccine is formulated to target the disparate H1 virus strains with the vaccination. Legge said the new vaccine also uses hunter-killer T-cells in addition to normal antibodies, something current seasonal vaccinations do not contain. “To solve some of the newer challenges associated with pathogens that are emerging and re-emerging, you can’t use yesterday’s tools,” Narasimhan said. The vaccine can be stored at room temperature for up to a year, he said, whereas current vaccines must be frozen in order to work effectively. “That’s a game changer in respect to how these newer technologies can more efficiently make the vaccines of tomorrow,” he said. they’ll hold to a $10.10 minimum wage despite not being required to by law.

Women’s basketball faces early test on road No. 13 Iowa hits the road for its first away game of the year. Western Kentucky was an NCAA Tournament team last season, so it will be an important game to assess the state of head coach Lisa Bluder’s team. BY PETE MILLS
peter-mills@uiowa.edu In the first away game for Iowa women’s basketball this season, the Hawkeyes are ready for a quality team in Western Kentucky. This is an important test for head coach Lisa Bluder’s team. Because Western Kentucky earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament last season, the matchup will be a good gauge about where this Iowa team stands early on. That has not eluded Bluder and the Hawkeyes. “[The players] have something to prove,” the coach said. There are some key differences between the squads that will be fun for fans to watch. The Lady Toppers have a new head coach in Greg Collins, a longtime assistant in the program. Of course, Bluder is a long-tenured head coach for the Hawkeyes, now in her 19th season. So, the game could prove to be a difficult test for Iowa. Western Kentucky has faced a top-10 squad already this season in Louisville. While it ended in a loss, several different playmakers proved they could cause issues for highly ranked opponents. Western Kentucky is, in part, led by junior Dee Givens, who put up 18 points against Louisville. Through two games this season, Giv-
ens has shot 54 percent from 3-point land. This could cause issues for the Hawkeyes, who struggled defending the 3-ball in their first game. Iowa was successful in a lot of ways in the first test, but against Oral Roberts, there were a lot of ways in which the team could improve. One of these, Bluder noted, was contesting 3-pointers more closely. The Hawkeyes dominated the boards for the majority of the game but were largely unable to stop the 3-point game of Oral Roberts in the second half. That allowed Oral Roberts to outscore the Hawkeyes, 54-41, in the second half, after facing a 26-point deficit after the first. This was with much of Iowa’s starting rotation in for the majority of the matchup. “Some of [the allowed 3-pointers] were miscommunication errors, and I do think those can be corrected,” Bluder said in a release. Iowa must contest these types of shots if it is to separate itself as a top team in the country. But what it lacks on perimeter defense, it certainly makes up in other facets. In the matchup against the Golden Eagles, the Hawkeyes out-rebounded them, 49-29. This is a massive margin, and it allowed Iowa to take the second-chance opportunities away from Oral Roberts ear-

No surprise, this was largely because of Megan Gustafson’s dominance; she grabbed a game-leading 17 rebounds. The offense is firing on all cylinders as well, even with the absence of injured
guard Kathleen Doyle. The Hawkeyes still shot 54 percent on 3-pointers with the help of Tania Davis, who was 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. As has been the case under Bluder, the players know their roles well. This helps
create open shots and allows players to be effective in different situations. An example of that is commonly seen when teams attempt to double-team Gustafson, freeing up other producers on the court. “[Gustafson] knows those

FOOTBALL CONTINUED FROM 8 ley’s almost two-year career as a starter, the Hawkeyes have managed to rush for 3.8 yards per carry. The last time Iowa averaged under 4 yards per carry before Stanley was in the 2012-13 season, when it managed only 3.5 yards a carry.
HOCKEY CONTINUED FROM 8 nents. In their 21 games, they played some noteworthy matches. In the second match of the season, Iowa took No. 1 North Carolina into overtime.

BASKETBALL CONTINUED FROM 8 “I feel like if I buckle down defensively, and focus on defense individually, and lead my team defensively, I’ll bring guys along.” Defense served as Iowa’s biggest weakness in 201718. Now, just one season later, Dailey and his squad have some lofty goals on that end of the floor. “I feel like we can be a top-25 team defensively,” Dailey said. “We have goals set every single game on the board to meet those top25 defensive goals in the country, and we’re working there.” Coming off the bench, Dailey brings energy to the

That season ended 4-8. It’s true that at times, Stanley has proven himself to be good enough to not need the help from the running game, as he did against Minnesota this season. But Stanley would still greatly benefit from a better running game. That has been especially apparent these past three games, in which the Hawkeyes have had major
struggles on the ground. During the first seven games of the season, Iowa averaged around 4.0 yards per carry, slightly lower than its pre-Stanley numbers, but it was obviously good enough to win games. Yet, since the game against Maryland, Iowa has found it almost impossible to rush the football, averaging just 3.2 yards per carry during the three-game losing streak.
The Hawkeyes’ rushing woes were glaringly apparent in the game against Northwestern, in which they managed a pitiful 64 yards on the ground for an average of just 2.9 yards a carry. Throughout the threegame slump, it has predictably been the Hawkeye running backs that have hurt the running game. The first seen games of
the season, Iowa’s running-back trio of Mekhi Sargent, Toren Young, and Ivory Kelly-Martin averaged 4.5 yards per carry. Since the Penn State game, that average has dipped to just 4 yards per carry for the group. Kelly-Martin has struggled the most over Iowa’s three game skid, rushing for just 62 yards on 18 attempts, which is bad enough for 3.4
yards per carry. Whether it’s been that defenses have figured out how Iowa wants to run the ball or if the Hawkeye offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz is being too predictable, something has gone awry in the Hawkeye running game. If Iowa hopes to get back on track this season, it will need to figure out a way to get more yards out of the running backs.
won this one in the final minutes of play, and sophomore Maddy Murphy recorded her first-career hat trick, leading Iowa to a 3-2 victory. It’s significant if a team upsets an opponent once, but Iowa turned around two weeks later to defeat the Nittany Lions again, this time in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament. Junior Sophie Sunderland and sophomore Ellie Holley notched the first 2 Hawkeye goals, both assisted by freshmen Anthe Nijziel. After
her 2 assists, Nijziel scored the game-winning overtime goal for the Hawkeyes, sending them to the semifinals of the tournament. In the semifinals, Iowa registered yet another upset, beating No. 7 Michigan, 2-1, with the Hawkeye goals courtesy of senior Makenna Grewe and junior Katie Birch. The Hawkeyes became the first-ever No. 6 seed in the Big Ten Tournament to play in the championship game. Despite losing to Maryland in the finals, 2-1, Iowa
earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, the Hawkeyes’ first appearance since 2012. It was also their first tourney under head coach Lisa Cellucci. Next season, the Hawkeyes will return nine of their 11 starters, graduating only Grewe, Isabella Brown, and Riley Kniptash. Of the nine returning starters, there are a handful of players who could shine brightly. Nijziel had an outstanding freshman season, starting every game for the
Hawkeyes. She recorded 5 goals and 4 assists while playing a key role in Iowa’s tough defense. In the highlight of her season, she recorded 2 assists and the game-winning goal in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament. Sophomores Holley and Murphy played important roles this season. Holley battled through mono at the beginning of the season but tallied 4 goals and 3 assists for the Hawkeyes. Cellucci called her the “X-factor” of the Hawkeyes’ quarterfinal
win over Penn State. Murphy registered a team-high 13 goals and 7 assists and earned first-team All-Big Ten honors. Captains Sunderland and Birch also garnered Big Ten honors. The two essential midfielders combined for 15 goals and 15 assists, and both put up hat tricks. The young field-hockey team shows a lot of promise, and people should not overlook the squad next season; it will come back experienced and hungry for revenge.
floor, much like Ahmad Wagner did last season and Nicholas Baer continues to do. McCaffery said he believes Dailey has the tools to be a key defensive leader, and now that he’s older, it will only help him. “When he’s really flying around it’s a big impact, because his activity level, his lateral quickness, his length, his leaping ability is impressive,” McCaffery said. “Toughest thing is to sustain that over long periods of time, and that comes with experience and strength, maturity. And he’s a junior now and physically, probably in the best place he’s ever been, so he can certainly be that guy.” The Hawkeyes have seen some improvement defen-
sively. It didn’t show up as much against Green Bay, as Iowa gave up 82 points to the Phoenix, although they are a team that likes to fill the bucket up. In the season-opener against Missouri-Kansas City, Iowa held the Kangaroos to just 36 percent shooting from the field — a sign of improvement despite its only being one game. “What I’m really proud of is, we talked about it all fall, all spring, all summer, and we came out and our defense is what held us in the game,” forward Ryan Kriener said. “We played pretty good defense. I think we held them to [36] percent shooting, and that’s pretty good stuff. I was really proud of that.”

Defensive Player of the Week – Robert Windsor, defensive tackle (Penn State)
Windsor recorded 6 tackles with a career-high 2 sacks in the Nittany Lions’ 22-10 win over Wisconsin. Penn State recorded 5 sacks as a team, and Windsor played a key role in the menacing pass rush.
Special Teams Player of the Week – Logan Justus, kicker (Indiana) Justus hit a 42-yard field goal with 2:32 let to give the Hoosiers a 34-32 victory over Maryland in Bloomington. Justus added a 23-yarder and made all of his PATs to score 10 of the Hoosiers’ points. He has now drilled six field goals in a row and is 13-of-15 for the season.

jordan-zuniga@uiowa.edu Three weeks ago, the Hawkeyes were sitting at 6-1 with thoughts of winning the West and, if the stars aligned just right, a chance at their very first playoff appearance. Now, three losses later, Iowa is just trying to remember how to win a game. Painful losses to Purdue, Northwestern, and
Penn State have ended any chances at the West and any hope that Iowa might get into a New Year’s Six Bowl. There is still something to play for — Iowa will appear in a bowl game, but which one is yet to be determined. Right now, SB Nation has Iowa playing in the Holiday Bowl against Washington, which, if it wins out, would be the logical bowl for the Hawkeyes.
After an impressive year, Iowa will return the majority of its starters for the 2019 season.

Maishe Dailey isn’t Tyler Cook. The Hawkeyes do not rely on him for consistent scoring, and the offense doesn’t run through him. He’s not Jordan Bohannon. While he does play some point guard, he’s not expected to make every 3 or distribute the way Bohannon does. Dailey’s role is clear to him, though: defensive stopper. “I think since high school, I’ve always had the ability to defend 1 through 4,” he said. “No matter the speed or size, I feel like I can be that versatile defensive stopper and defend and lock down the other team’s best player no matter what position it is.” Dailey knows production on defense can turn into offense, and it showed in Iowa’s 77-63 season-opening win over Dailey Missouri-Kansas City on Nov. 8. He said head coach Fran McCaffery gives his players the freedom to shoot and drive with the ball whenever they feel comfortable, allowing him to drop 11 points and 2 assists coming off the bench. Last season, Iowa finished with the third-best offense in the Big Ten, putting up 79.7 points per, so scoring wasn’t an issue. Defensively, though, the team closed the season with the worst opponents’ points per game mark, giving up 78.7. “I feel like if we focus on defense, and I focus on defense, our offense will take care of itself, because we had one of the [top-45] offenses in the country last year and then 200-plus defense,” Dailey said.
