IN LINE Tyrese Haliburton learns from veteran Cyclone guards BY AARON.MARNER @iowastatedaily.com

DAVID BOSCHWITZ/ IOWA STATE DAILY Freshman point guard Tyrese Haliburton poses at the 2018 men’s basketball media day.

Iowa State has had a strong tradition of great point guards over the last two decades. Ranging from Jamaal Tinsley to Monte Morris, four Cyclone point guards since 2000 have played in the NBA. Lindell Wigginton could be the fifth. But what happens after Wigginton and redshirt senior Nick Weiler-Babb leave? The next point guard in line could be a lanky, 6-foot-5 freshman who is running the second team in practices this season. Even though he has only been on campus for a few months, Tyrese Haliburton is already making an impression on coaches and teammates. “I really like Tyrese,” Wigginton said. “He’s a really good shot-maker ... he makes smart decisions and I’m really impressed with him.” Haliburton has no problem taking a backseat this year behind Weiler-Babb and Wigginton. He said last year he wants to learn from WeilerBabb, who emerged as the Cyclones’ leading passer a season ago. “He does everything the right way,” Haliburton said. “He sees the floor real well, and I think that could be really big for me as freshman, getting to play under Nick.” The key for Haliburton is taking those lessons and applying them in practice this season. That’s easier said than done, however. Haliburton has been dealing with the mono virus this fall. “It’s something I’ve had before,” he said. “A lot of people don’t know you can get it twice. I didn’t know that.” When he’s been healthy, he’s had the chance to run Iowa State’s second unit in practice. Starting around the sixth day of practice, he’s been able to

Ivy College of Business to add actuarial science as new major BY JARED.COADY @iowastatedaily.com Next fall, there will be a new undergraduate program in actuarial science. Rahul Amba Parsa, senior lecturer in supply chain & information systems, will be the director of the new program. “An actuary is a person who is an expert in managing risk,” Parsa said. “They generally work

in insurance companies. One of the typical jobs they do is pricing of insurance products, whether it be life insurance, car insurance, health insurance,or any kind.” Working as an actuary was ranked among the top 20 jobs of 2017 by CNN Money, citing its high pay and strong job security as top reasons why it is a great field to work in.

Solidarity Walk with Womxn to be held BY MIA.WANG @iowastatedaily.com The Solidarity Walk with Womxn will be held on Wednesday to provide an opportunity for students to process recent murders of young women in the state of Iowa. Participants will gather in front of Parks library on 11:30 a.m. and start the walk on 11:55 a.m. The route will pass Beardshear Hall and end in front of the Sloss House. The walk is organized by a group of students from a variety of majors to offer an outlet for students, staff and community members needing a way to process the deaths of Mollie Tibbetts, Celia Barquin Arozamena and Sadie Alvarado from Muscatine, Iowa. Greta Stuhlsatz, research assistant in human development and family studies and one of the organizers, said it’s painful to see these horrifying murders but the narrative after their deaths are also frustrating. “The murders were covered very differently in the media,” Stuhlsatz said. “For Mollie’s murder, politicians focused more on immigration policies. Celia’s murder they focused a lot on how women should keep themselves safe, like don’t wear revealing clothing, make sure to have something you can use to defend yourself and don’t go alone at night.” Martino Harmon, senior vice president, and Jazzmine Brooks, Green Dot coordinator will deliver speeches before the walk. People are encouraged to wear yellow clothing to continue honor Celia as it was her favorite color. Participants can use the hashtags #StoptheV iolence #BelieveWomenISU on their social media platforms to support this event.

Nebraska senator to speak on political divisiveness in America BY ELI.HARRIS @iowastatedaily.com Ben Sasse, a Republican senator from Nebraska, will be speaking Thursday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. Sasse is a first-term senator and has become a rising star in the conservative movement. Sasse will continue an ongoing discussion in America on the political divide in his lecture titled. “If Not Us, Who? Human Dignity in the 21st Century.” Sasse will also discuss healing the increasing divide among American citizens.

This was recently demonstrated during the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. During a process where many senators brought up political points, he used his speaking time to warn the Senate that the confirmation process was being mishandled. “We have a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of the Supreme Court in American life now,” Sasse said. Sasse called out both parties for politicizing the process too much and said that if they were as concerned as they appeared to be, they should all recognize that the role of the court is not to be a political battleground.

A recent focus of his is the increasing incivility of political discussion in the country. His new book, “Them: Why We Hate Each Other — and How to Heal,” discusses the polarization that has been occurring in the U.S. In it, Sasse encourages Americans to see how prosperous the country is and that both sides should not see one another as evil. “America wants you to be happy, but more urgently, America needs you to love your neighbor and connect with your community,” Sasse said. Sasse was born in Plainview, Nebraska, and attended Harvard and later Yale, where he

earned a Ph.D. in American History. He went on to work in the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security before running for Senate in 2014. The 2014 elections saw a landslide victory of historic magnitude. All 93 counties voted in favor of Sasse, helping him win with the second largest margin for a new senator in Nebraska history. His campaign was built on several core tenants of conservatism: limited government, adherence to the Constitution and civility in political discourse. He has lived up to these principles in many conservatives’ eyes, causing him to become a popular figure nationwide.

Hubbell talks policy, stumps on campus Energy, tax giveaways and job policy main focus by gubernatorial Democratic candidate Fred Hubbell BY TALON.DELANEY @iowastatedaily.com Democratic challenger for Iowa Governor Fred Hubbell attacked Gov. Kim Reynolds for her “fiscal irresponsibilities” before a crowd of more than 45 students in front of Parks Library Tuesday afternoon. These irresponsibilities included cuts to education funds, an unpredictable budget, ineffective healthcare reform and corporate tax breaks, Hubbell said. “We need to stop wasteful tax giveaways and put that money into education,” Hubbell said. “[K-12] classes are getting bigger and different programs are getting squeezed. We need to invest in K-12 again.” In the debates, Reynolds criticized Hubbell’s potential policies and said his tax hikes would hurt Iowans. “We won’t need to raise taxes much if we stop these wasteful giveaways,” Hubbell said. “And if we do giveaways, it’s going to be for the Iowa middle class.” Hubbell also spoke about focusing more on Iowa’s renewable energy infrastructure. He said encouraging growth in green energy and focusing funding on education will help create thousands of jobs for Iowans. “In 2009 there were around 1,500 jobs in wind energy,” Hubbell said. “Now there’s more than 9,000 jobs. We currently have around 1,200 jobs in solar and I think we can get that number around 3,000 or 4,000.” Hubbell said actions under Gov. Reynolds took away incentives for Iowa companies to invest in cleaner forms of energy.

No, your boss isn’t a psychopath, CEO study finds Iowa State assistant professor debunks myth that 1 in 5 bosses are psychopaths BY MEGAN.TESKE @iowastatedaily.com A study involving an Iowa State assistant professor has discovered that the claims saying one in five CEOs are psychopaths are false. Marcus Credé, Iowa State assistant professor of psychology, along with Peter Harms and Karen Landay from the University of Alabama, recently conducted a study to find out if the myth that 20 percent of CEOs are actually psychopaths is true. “There’s a psychopath, and then there are psychopathic tendencies,” Credé said. “We were interested in people who score a little bit higher on some characteristics [of psychopathy].” Credé said psychopathic tendencies are characteristics such as a lack of empathy,

impulsiveness and fearless dominance, which means they do not really experience fear as much as regular people do, especially in social situations. Psychopaths are comfortable with telling people what to do and taking over leadership positions. The study was conducted by doing a meta-analysis, which includes reading all previous information and studies regarding the topic and using the findings to get a new viewpoint. Credé and his colleagues used what he called the ‘puzzle pieces’ from past studies and put them together to reach their conclusion. After looking at 92 different studies and tens of thousands of people in leadership positions, they found that the relationship between having psychopathic tendencies and becoming a leader, or being effective at it, was a pretty

weak relationship. “There was a little bit of a pattern,” Credé said. “If you have higher levels of psychopathic tendencies, it makes it a little more likely that you become a leader, and makes it a little less likely that you are judged to be good at being a leader.” Credé and his colleagues also found men are getting away with these tendencies more than women are, and women tend to get punished more for their lack of empathy. The reason for this is because society still expects women to be more empathetic, and when they’re not, it seems abnormal, whereas there is not an expectation for men to be empathetic. The study also showed people tend to be reluctant to come forward about their bad bosses and their behavior. The study found that there is a history of people getting punished for

coming forward and losing their jobs, so people think they should just deal with it rather than speak up. Credé found this kind of behavior is not good for the employees working for them, and it can have toxic effects like an increase in stress, burn out and psychological downfalls. “[Stopping this behavior] has to happen at the hiring stage,” Credé said, “looking out for those behaviors and be aware of those behavior patterns and say we’re not going to hire these people or if we do hire them not promote them to a level of management.” Overall, Credé said the outcome of the study came slightly as a surprise to the team. “We expected [the relationship] to be stronger,” Credé said. “But we were also pleased that it didn’t turn out that way.”

StGov to vote on funding requests for Latinx celebration BY MADELYN.OSTENDORF @iowastatedaily.com The Student Government will vote on funding the Latinx Student Initiative’s “Love Never Dies” event, aimed at celebrating Dia de los Muertos, at their Wednesday meeting. The Latinx Student Initiative is asking for $917 in funding to help put on their Dia de los Muertos: Love Never Dies Celebration. The event is held in conjunction with Impacto Latino, the Lambda Theta Alpha sorority and the Lambda Theta Phi fraternity. It will be held on Nov. 3 to bring cultural awareness to the

Latinx community at Iowa State and in the Ames community. The funds would be used to decrease the cost of the traditional Latino food being served and the cost of advertising the event. The Senate also plans to seat Lucy Dougherty, Micheal Ellis, Micheal Hiraldo-Santana and Mandar-Uday Mahajan as at-large members to the Finance Committee; confirm Mathew Keyes, Lake Labodny and Ross Opie to the Election Commission; fix a contradictory finance bylaw and vote on a bill allowing the Civic Engagement Vice Chair to succeed the Chair. For new business on the agenda there are two new funding requests from the Rodeo Club and Project Jamaica.

The Rodeo Club is requesting $600.49 to assist in covering the costs of renting university vehicles for a rescheduled event in South Dakota on Nov. 1 and Nov. 2. Project Jamaica, a student organization that chooses 22 non-members to attend a service trip to Jamaica during spring break, is asking for $3,300 to assist in funding the trip. The funds would go towards airfare, lodging, food and supplies during spring break. For more information, or to contact your senator, visit stugov. iastate.edu. The senate meetings are open to the public on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the Campanile Room of the Memorial Union.

“Earlier this year the Governor signed a bill that takes away incentives to invest in renewable energy,” said Hubbell referring to Senate File 2311. “The more solar power we use means less coal and natural gas being burned.” Members of Iowa State College Democrats handed out Hubbell-Hart campaign signs to the crowd, and College Democrats President Taylor Blair encouraged students to vote before the candidate took the floor. “We had over one hundred students vote in the Memorial Union yesterday,” Blair said. “There’s only two weeks left and so many great candidates to vote for.” S tudent Body V ice President Juan Bibiloni was among those in attendance. He said he was walking to the library and noticed some friends waiting to meet Hubbell.

“I’m interested in meeting the candidates,” Bibiloni said. “I’m here in a completely non-partisan fashion. Julian [Neely] was fortunate to meet Kim Reynolds when she visited the campus over the summer. I couldn’t be here for that, but I can meet Hubbell today.” Candidates for local government also attended Hubbell’s visit. Linda Murken is running for Story County Supervisor, and she said she supports Hubbell because of his promises to return more power to local governments. “Local governments were investing in a variety of things that are helpful for people,” Murken said. “Six counties raised their minimum wage, and Dubuque initiated regulations on plastic bags. Governor Reynolds signed a pre-emptive bill that eliminated those actions in our counties. Hubbell wants local government to be able to lead the people in their districts.”

play more point guard rather than being forced to fit in on the wing. “Tyrese has been great,” Prohm said. “We’ve thrown him in there with some of the older guys to kind of help his progression. “He hasn’t had a lot of point guard reps with Nick and Lindell at point guard ... but he’s got a great IQ, and the guys like him — he’s got a great personality.” Prohm has also commended Haliburton’s attitude, saying he’s “about the team” and he has bought in. On the court, the challenge for Haliburton will be finding playing time as a freshman. The Cyclones had a lot of turnover from last year’s team to this season, but the returning production mostly comes from Wigginton and Weiler-Babb in the backcourt. “It means a lot, coming from a guy like Lindell who is one of our better players,” Haliburton said of Wigginton’s praise. “I didn’t know what to expect coming in when I committed last year.” The duo of Wigginton and Weiler-Babb ranked first and fourth on the team in scoring, first and second in assists and first and second in steals. Taking minutes from either of them will be a tough task, especially with other guards like Marial Shayok and Talen Horton-Tucker added to the mix. Haliburton is already learning from Weiler-Babb. “Just a lot of stuff like leading my team in practice and talking guys through stuff,” Haliburton said. “As point guards we gotta be the communicator on the floor.” Haliburton might remind Cyclone fans of a former Iowa State guard who had a similar background. Diante Garrett, who played from 2007-11, spent two years in the NBA for the Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz. Just like Haliburton, Garrett was a Wisconsin product who came in as a tall, skinny guard. Prohm has made the comparison between the two, dating back to Haliburton’s signing day last November. If Haliburton can replicate the success Garrett had, the Cyclones will be happy with that return. Garrett was second-team All-Big 12 as a senior after averaging 17.3 points and 6.1 assists per game. Garrett and Haliburton are both listed at 6-foot-4 or taller, giving them a size advantage over most point guards. That also means, in Iowa State’s free-flowing system that often throws players into positions they’re not used to, Haliburton could be forced to guard taller players. “I’m most comfortable on probably the one and the two right now,” Haliburton said with a laugh. “Hopefully by next year I’ll be able to guard the three but I don’t know if my body’s ready to be guarding bigger dudes like that.” While Haliburton won’t be expected to start every game this year, he is the frontrunner to take the torch as the next floor general at Iowa State.

U.S. News and World Report also ranked the job high, citing it as the No. 2 best business job based on a variety of factors, such as salary, stress level, flexibility and opportunity for advancement. The use of statistics and math are key points within the actuarial science field. “Students have to be very good in mathematics to succeed in this program,” Parsa said. “They have to be very focused, disciplined and organized. Students who join this program usually have good ACT/SAT scores in math.” But there is more to becoming an actuary than getting a degree and looking for a job. In order to become an actuary, students must take a series of five exams. “Iowa State does not make you an actuary, and no school can,” Parsa said. “ We teach material that is in the five preliminary exams given by the Society of Actuaries and

Casualty Actuarial Society. Students will have to take those exams and pass them to become an actuary.” Iowa State is the last of the three regent schools to offer an actuarial science program. H o w e v e r, u n l i k e t h e U n i v e r s i t y o f Northern Iowa and the University of Iowa, Iowa State’s program will be the only one housed in the college of business. “By having this major housed in the college of business and having these students take our core set of business courses in addition to the courses required for actuarial science major, we think we are going to put out the better rounded graduates that insurance companies are really looking for,” said Dean of the Ivy College of Business David Spalding. The Ivy College of Business is also in the process of adding a business analytics major, but is still awaiting approval from the Board of Regents.

Print books make a comeback ‘As an avid reader, I love being part of the journey’ BY MELANIE.DEANDA @iowastatedaily.com Ever since the invention of e-books, physical copies have been greatly affected. With the electronic version of a book, many people saw this as a way to save money since the cost was conveniently cheaper compared to a printed copy. As you can probably guess, this lead to the fall in sales in printed books. As a lover of books myself, who wouldn’t want to get books for the lowest price possible? It is not cheap to have a love for books accumulating on your bookshelves. But nothing beats having a physical copy in your hands. It’s just not the same. At the end of the day it might just be me who feels that way about books, but all I know is that I will never stop buying printed versions, no matter how popular the electronic ones get. For a couple years now I have been hearing about how physical copies are in the risk of becoming a thing of the past. Well, I think not. Although printed versions of books did happen to suffer through a phase of continuous downfall from the years of 2009 through 2012, starting 2013 the sales began to rise a little more each year, according to Statista. On top of that, as printed books rose in sales, electronic versions began to fall. If that’s not printed books making a comeback, I don’t know what is. Not only are printed versions better due to the connections readers make toward them, but there are actual studies on why printed versions are better, like the study conducted by researchers from Harvard Medical School

MEGAN PETZOLD/ IOWA STATE DAILY Columnist Melanie DeAnda believes that while e-books offer accessibility and are more affordable, nothing beats the physical copy that printed books have to offer.

for starters. Their study shows that reading an electronic book before bed can affect your health in a negative way. Anne-Marie Chang states: “Participants reading an LE-eBook took longer to fall asleep and had reduced evening sleepiness, reduced melatonin secretion, later timing of their circadian clock and reduced next-morning alertness than when reading a printed book.” These researchers took 12 participants and conducted a two-week study where the participants read electronic versions of books for four hours before bed every night, for a total of five days. Next, the same process was repeated with printed versions. Some participants began by reading the printed version first, other began

with the electronic version. At the end, the results showed that those who read the electronic version had a harder time falling asleep, among other negative impacts. In addition to that, this study made me think of all the times I struggled to fall asleep in the past. Every time I struggled to fall asleep, I would pick up whatever I was currently reading and somehow managed to sleep peacefully after reading a chapter or two, depending on length. This makes me believe that this study is in fact, correct. Others would probably resolve to picking up their devices and checking their notifications and such which could further disrupt your ability to fall asleep. Furthermore, when you have an electronic

version of a book, you can’t truly focus on it completely. You might get distracted with the notifications you receive while reading which will lead you to jump in and out of the book. Then, at the end of the night, you won’t get any reading done because you were too focused on opening up each notification you received. To make matters worse, you probably won’t even be able to recall what it is you had just read. Personally speaking, whenever I read a book, I like to fully dive into it with no distractions. As an avid reader, I love being part of the journey that the books story tells. No matter how popular the electronic versions get, they will never have the same impact on me that printed books do.

Violence against womxn must end For many, these past few months have been heart wrenching and painful. In July, University of Iowa student and Brooklyn, Iowa native Mollie Tibbetts was reported missing. In early August, the body of Muscatine native Sadie Alvarado was found along a gravel road. In late August, Tibbetts’ body was also found by authorities, hidden in a corn field not far from the route she was last seen running. In September, former Iowa State women’s golfer Celia Barquín Arozamena was found dead at the Coldwater Golf Links in Ames, Iowa. She had been killed while practicing a sport that she loved. Yet these three women were mourned by not just their friends and family, but a nation trying to come to terms with a system of violence that targets women throughout all aspects of their life; whether it be going out with friends, running alone or hanging out with a significant other. Global estimates indicate about 35 percent of women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime, according to the World Health Organization. It is also estimated that as many as “38 percent of murders of women are committed by a male intimate partner.” This violence disproportionately impacts young, low income and minority women. According to the National Organization for Women, “women aged 20 to 24 are at the greatest risk of nonfatal domestic violence and women aged 24 and under suffer

from the highest rates of rape.” This is toxic and must end, both for the sake of the women whose lives are at stake, but also the implications this violence has on our society. Yet, like many things in the fast-paced environment that is today’s news cycle, the deaths of Tibbetts, Alvarado and Arozamena have all but escaped the public eye. It is important to remember these women, and all the victims of violence that have come both before and after them, so that we can begin to fully address the invasiveness of this issue in our culture. This is why, as October recognizes Domestic Violence Awareness Month, it is worth applauding campus organizations such as Green Dot, the Margaret Sloss Women’s Center, the Office of the Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion and the Latin@ Graduate Student Association for organizing the “Solidarity Walk with Womxn” on Wednesday. With attendees encouraged to gather in front of Parks Library at 11:30 a.m., the walk will begin at 11:55 a.m. and will end in front of the Sloss House. Marchers are encouraged to wear yellow and “join us as we stride against violence.” Violence manifests itself in many different ways, whether it be everyday microaggressions or emotional, sexual or physical abuse. Show your support for womxn and walk in solidarity on Wednesday. It is important to not just mourn in reaction to violence against women but to serve as someone who actively supports and advocates for their empowerment and protection.

NOTEBOOK

Cyclone defense sizes up Tech BY NOAH.ROHLFING @iowastatedaily.com The bye week is over, and the Cyclones have another tough test ahead of them with the Texas Tech Red Raiders coming to town. From Kyle Kempt’s status (and potential future) to preparing for the Red Raiders, coach Matt Campbell addressed it all in his weekly press conference. Kyle Kempt and coaching Kyle Kempt has been missing from the field for Iowa State since the season opener against Iowa with a knee injury which went from “day-to-day” to “week-to-week,” and his absence has in turn precipitated the rise of true freshman Brock Purdy. Kempt is on the Iowa State depth chart for the first time since the injury, listed in a battle for the backup job with Zeb Noland behind Purdy. His impact has still been felt despite not suiting up, Campbell said. “I think Kyle, we’ll probably know more about where he’s at this week,” Campbell said. “I don’t know if anybody’s more fit to coach than what Kyle is. “He’s put all his time into helping everyone else around him become better.” Campbell mentioned Monday night that Kempt could potentially have a role on the Cyclones’ sideline as a coach if he wants it — an intriguing proposition given the impact his teammates say he has had on the sideline. Deshaunte Jones and David Montgomery were quick to point out Kempt’s presence as helpful to all the position groups during the Cyclones’ two-game win streak. “He brings all the quarterbacks and receivers together,” Jones said. “We just make adjustments to what we see on the field and what he sees on the field.” “[Kyle] puts everyone before himself and he still prepares like he’s the starter,” Montgomery said. Kempt’s on-field role is still up in the air, as is his status for this weekend’s game. Kempt is on the practice field but it is unclear whether he’ll play another down for the Cyclones at this point. Sizing up Tech The Red Raiders enter this week having dropped out of the AP Top 25 recently, but their quality is something the

Cyclones will have to reckon with. Texas Tech is 5-2 and 3-1 in conference play, with its only loss coming at the hands of West Virginia. On offense, the Red Raiders are led by Alan Bowman, a true freshman quarterback in the vein of Purdy who has produced well in the five-and-a-half games he’s been healthy this year. After missing the second half of the West Virginia loss, and all of the TCU game due to a partially collapsed lung, Bowman returned with a 408-yard performance. Campbell is acutely aware of what Texas Tech brings to the table. “No matter who’s been in at quarterback, they’ve given those receivers a real opportunity to catch and make big plays,” Campbell said. The Red Raiders have also seen large improvements on the defensive side of the ball under second-year defensive coordinator David Gibbs (though it is still a nationally subpar unit, ranking 88th in the country in yards-per-play allowed). Cornerback depth Dealing with a strong group of Texas Tech receivers will

fall on the Iowa State secondary, a group which has gained considerable depth over the season, buoyed by the growth of freshmen Anthony Johnson and Datrone Young. Both have seen snaps in relief of D’Andre Payne and Brian Peavy. Campbell has been impressed with the two freshmen and how they worked their way into the rotation. “[Datrone] had a great fall camp, and really earned the right to play early on,” Campbell said. “[Anthony] was a guy that really jumped out to us in the summer. “I do see both of them continuing to play for us.” The Cyclones have needed the versatility with Payne having to take snaps in the star position against West Virginia due to the ankle injury of starting safety Lawrence White. Redshirt sophomore safety Greg Eisworth said not only are the youngsters helpful, but their ability to play multiple positions lessens the burden on the rest of the defensive backfield heading towards the stretch run of the season. He credits Campbell with their maturity and team mentality. “A lot of it goes back to Campbell and who he recruits,” Eisworth said. “That was one thing he preached to me about.”

Cyclones seek revenge against No. 8 Texas Longhorns BY JACK.SHOVER @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s winning streak may be on the line against conference opponent Texas, who is ranked No. 8 in the nation in the AVCA Top 25 Poll, during their matchup at 8 p.m. on Wednesday. Iowa State’s game against Texas will be the two teams’ second matchup of the season after Iowa State traveled to Austin, Texas, on Oct. 6. At the time, Texas was ranked No. 4 in the nation. In the game, Texas won three sets to zero. With that being said, Iowa State had a higher hitting percentage, .302 to .286, and had more blocks, six to four. Despite the loss, Jess Schaben, a senior outside hitter, said it was the first game where the team left the court proud of the performance they put forth. Iowa State lost the sets 25-21, 25-22 and 25-21. “We’ll try to find a couple more points in each set,” coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said. “That’s really what it was [in the loss].” To win against Texas, Johnson-Lynch said the team needs to hit as well as they did in the first game, but believes better defense and serving can leverage more points in favor of the Cyclones. Entering the game, Texas is 12-4 overall and

7-1 in the Big 12, while Iowa State is 11-10 overall and 4-4 in Big 12 play. So far this season, Texas’ only loss in the Big 12 is to Kansas, who beat the Longhorns 3-1 in Lawrence, Kansas. Iowa State is currently riding a three-game win streak after downing Kansas State, TCU and then-No. 22 Kansas. Schaben said the win against Kansas State helped propel the team into more victories. “I think anytime you can win on the road, and especially K-State ‘cause in past years its a hard place to play, and so anytime you can win there it just builds your confidence a little

more,” Schaben said. Against Kansas, the Cyclones won in straight sets against the Jayhawks in Lawrence. In the game, Iowa State recorded 10 team blocks and hit a .253 hitting percentage while holding Kansas to a .075 hitting percentage through three sets. For seniors Schaben and Grace Lazard, the win in Lawrence was the first of their careers against Kansas on the road. When asked on what has changed for the team over the last couple games, setter Piper Mauck said she believes it has nothing to do with the team’s skill.

“I don’t think it’s anything to do with our skill, I think it’s just all mental,” Mauck said. “Our confidence, our communication, just trusting one another.” Through Iowa State’s last five games, the team has been limiting opponents to a .170 hitting percentage. The Cyclones have been averaging three blocks a set during that span. The team which recorded the highest hitting percentage against Iowa State during the fivegame span was Texas. On the attack, Texas is anchored by Preseason Big 12 Player of the Year Micaya White. White has averaged 15.6 kills per game the last five games with a .320 hitting percentage. Her lowest kill total came against Iowa State, where she had nine kills with a .292 hitting percentage. To counter Texas’ elite attack, Mauck said the Cyclones have been making adjustments to their block and emphasized putting pressure on Texas with serves because Texas is a “weaker” passing team. During the Kansas game, Johnson-Lynch said the team did well by putting pressure on Kansas with serves and by serving well it forced Kansas to play out of system for the entirety of the match. If Iowa State is able to replicate the success they had against Kansas, the Cyclones will be able to take Texas out of their comfort zone and put the Longhorns on upset alert.

“It was restrictive, and you couldn’t be on the streets. I thought it was a decision that was going to last a few days and then everything would become normal again.” - Christian Bertolotto

Life under a dictatorship

Parents of Iowa State student reflect on childhood in Chile BY ADOLFO.ESPITIA @iowastatedaily.com Looking over her daughter’s homework, Lucy Camacho was shocked when the teacher asked for her daughter’s opinion. Not saying anything, Camacho wasn’t prepared for a middle schooler to express herself. Even 40 years later, Camacho is still affected from growing up under a dictatorship. Camacho and Christian Berolotto Bertolotto shared their life under Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship during the ‘80s and ‘90s, following the military coup he used to take power. A turbulent era for Chile, they recounted what it was like to have limited expression and voice. For daughter Valeria Berolotto Bertolotto, a junior in global resource systems, it was the first time she heard her parents speak out. “When this happened, I was probably six or seven years old,” Camacho said. “My house was kind of close to the government house, I remember when the military plane flew up from my house and everyone was wondering what was going on. “Since then, everything changed dramatically. They started to place the curfew, and you couldn’t be out of your house at night. The first one I think was at 7 p.m. then, 9 p.m. and then 10 p.m. and it continued for several years.” At first, Bertolotto’s family supported the military coup as his family did not have enough food and other basic items. “I was raised in a family that was against the socialist, communist party that was developing,” Christian Berolotto said. “Chile was becoming socialist, like Cuba, before the military coup, and they suffered because at that time, like Venezuela today. They didn’t have enough food, they couldn’t find milk and basic things. They were

in favor of the military interrupting democracy because they were in a difficult situation. After the coup, however, life in Chile changed for all citizens. The political climate disintegrated and Pinochet took control of Chile. With no political diversity, anyone against the government could be persecuted. Citizens were split between being in favor of Pinochet or against him. Christian Berolotto recalled a frightening moment during college. “In college, there were riots every day. People would throw stones and fight because it was very divided. One day we had class and a big fight started among the students,” he said. “The police are outside trying to come into the building. The building got shut down, then you can hear glass breaking, stones flying over, and rubber bullets. Police started shooting towards the building, people inside the building were fighting, it was chaos. “I remember just hiding in one of the desks and I couldn’t breathe, I was in there for eight hours. I was worried people would get injured. I came in at 9 a.m. and left at 10 p.m., both my parents were desperate.” For Camacho, it wasn’t unusual for the power to go out for a few days. It also wasn’t unusual to hear shootings at night. Even going to bed at night was a risk, Camacho couldn’t walk too close to a window or else she would risk being shot by a random bullet. It wasn’t until both came to the United States that they realized

the profound effect of the dictatorship had on their lives. Camacho recalled the moment she stepped foot into a library. “I came here and went to the University of Minnesota to learn English. I came into the library and I was shocked — everything was available. To me, it was and experience I didn’t have. At that time, I wasn’t a student anymore, so I didn’t have that experience as a student. It was so hard to realize that some information was restricted, I didn’t do anything to reach it,” Camacho said. Raised in the United States, Valeria Berolotto had access to basic freedoms like books, internet and expression. After listening to her parents’ experience, it changed her perspective. “I feel surprised, I feel informed because there is a lot of information I had no idea about. It hanged my perspective on a lot of things, Valeria Berolotto said. “They always say to not take things for granted, but now I look at it differently, they say it because they didn’t get the privilege that I had. They were my age when they were in college, which is what I’m doing, they didn’t have all the resources and all the books. Now I understand why they insisted upon it.”

Student uses social media to advocate for mental health awareness BY NELL.KNUTSON @iowastatedaily.com Bethany Darr calls her Instagram usage a “shout into the void,” as a means to de-stigmatize mental illness and recognize that it is OK to seek help. Darr, senior in psychology, advocates for mental illness awareness on her Instagram page. Darr lives with generalized anxiety, depression and is recovering from an eating disorder.

She shares on her Instagram page once or twice a day photos that exemplify positivity, growth and encouragement. However, she didn’t always have such a healthy relationship with the social media platform. “I post for myself, but I think it makes other people feel better,” said Darr. W hen first coming to Iowa State, Darr, like many freshmen, wanted to make the most of her four years in college. To do so,

she spent the summer beforehand seeking help for her own struggles with mental illness. Yet, recovery for Darr is constant. “Recovery is hard work and part of recovery is taking it as it comes,” Darr said. Darr’s recovery specifically deals with utilizing healthy coping mechanisms to suppress her anxiety. However, for a long time her coping mechanism was also an eating disorder. “My coping mechanism to my

anxiety is dieting to control the anxiety,” Darr said. The difficulty Darr had with social media is the reason why she began posting her advocacy on mental illness. “The thing that started the dieting habits was wanting to lose weight and following many fitness accounts, but then those people had come out admitting their own eating disorders,” Darr said. In addition to her social media activism, Darr also wears a

lime-green bandana tied around her backpack as a flag for people who may be struggling that she is “a safe individual to approach with mental health-related issues, that they know where resources are, and that they hold a few resource cards,” according to the Bandana Project through the National Alliance on Mental Illness, NAMI. “Mental illness runs rampant and its important to speak up when you or someone you know is struggling,” Darr said.
