Cyclones fall short to Cincinnati

ALDI opens new Ames location

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com It wasn’t unfamiliar territory for the Cyclones. Last Sunday in the AdvoCare Invitational championship game, coach Steve Prohm and the Cyclones went right down to the wire with No. 8 Gonzaga, eventually falling to the Bulldogs 73-71. On Thursday, it was a very similar outing. No. 19 Iowa State (5-2, 0-0 Big 12) went down to the wire with a physical Cincinnati (6-1, 0-0 American), and fell 55-54 in overtime at Hilton Coliseum on Thursday night.

By Emily.Hammer @iowastatedaily.com ALDI, a popular discount supermarket chain, hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony and official grand opening Thursday morning for its new Ames store on South 5th Street, replacing its previous location on Buckeye Avenue. In celebration of the new location, the first 100 customers in line were given a golden ticket, each with ALDI gift certificates of varying values. Participants also received a free ALDI eco-friendly bag until supplies ran out. Customers were then able to tour the store and had the choice to enter a sweepstakes to win free ALDI produce for a year. “We wanted to offer our loyal Ames customers a fresh experience at the new location,”Miranda Coello, assistant account director, said. “We are excited to share the unique ALDI shopping experience with customers in Ames.” The new Ames location focuses on giving customers a revamped experience, with a larger square footage, higher ceilings and more natural lighting. The store also increased the size of its cooler section and added healthy tips in the produce area to help consumers make smart choices. The location for the store was chosen based on population density, proximity to competition, cost of the property and traffic patterns. ALDI’s goal is to be conveniently located for its shoppers. ALDI also used environmentally-friendly building materials to further emphasize its commitment to reducing its environmental impact. These include energy-saving refrigeration and LED lighting. ALDI, a grocery chain that originated in Germany, believes its brand of products has the highest quality and offers healthy choices and well-balanced foods. Shoppers of ALDI brands are also purported to save massive amounts of money compared to shoppers at other chain grocery stores. “ALDI-exclusive brands can save [smart shoppers] up to 50 percent on their grocery bills,” Coello said. Her information comes from a price comparison of comparable products sold at leading national grocery stores. For students and Ames citizens on a limited budget, having access to a grocery store with much lower costs than normal could provide much needed help with savings. Coello described ALDI shoppers as smart shoppers, and that students are included in that. Along with the new location comes an even larger range of groceries to choose from, including organic produce and glutenfree products. Its meats are also free from animal by-products, antibiotics, added hormones and steroids, Coello said. “Great-quality groceries and everyday low prices make for a combination that shoppers love,” Coello said.

P&S Council talks new building By Morgan.Miller @iowastatedaily.com The professional and scientific council met Thursday night to cover the agenda for the remaining half of the year. Some of the goals discussed at the meeting consisted of new designs for buildings on campus, making transitions for new students easier, and the fight against hate crimes. Provost Dr. Jonathan Wickert presented a new building that will be popping up behind Marston hall right next to the water tower and it will provide all majors with classes. The goal of the building is to create a more collaborative environment for students from different majors to share ideas on projects. The building will be all glass to give it a very modern look and the hallways will consist of whiteboards that students can write on. There are a lot of energy saving features to this building and it will consist of a lot of natural light. “This building will be built for collaboration among students of different majors” said Wickert. Another topic that was brought up by Wickert was the rough transition that new students go through when entering Iowa State. The first year that students are here

they receive an average of 400 emails about information on Iowa State and activities on the campus. Iowa State Student Affairs will start developing tactics for different types of new students to have a more comfortable transition into Iowa state. Dr. Jonathan Strum, the Faculty Senate President, brought up a no tolerance program being brought to Iowa State that stands against racism and sexism on cam-

pus. This program will hold the University to a new standard of equality. He also addressed the new tuition difference for upperclassman and underclassman and brought up that the student government still needs to discuss it more. Iowa State Police Officer Nick Grossman presented the council with the new Multicultural Liason Officer program that they have adopted. This program will work to provide a safe environment and open communication with the police and student body. The MLO officers are given training for any acts of implicit bias on campus and will get involved with different multicultural organizations at Iowa State. Some of the projects that will take part involve community building events and classes on hate crimes to inform students about what is a hate crime and what isn’t. The goal is to develop a larger program for Multicultural Liason Officers on the force. “Other schools police forces have been using this program and it seems to be working”, Said Grossman. The meeting brought up many goals for the next semester and hopes the future of Iowa State. With a fast developing campus, Iowa State continues to come up with more ideas to make life more comfortable for the students and faculty.

ISU accused of thwarting pro-Trump event By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com ISU Students 4 Trump, an unofficial student organization supporting President-elect Donald Trump, is accusing Iowa State of trying to cancel a pro-Trump event and is asking supporters to push back at the university for charging $2,000 in security fees. The group, in an email release to those planning to attend an event with Milo Yiannopoulos on Friday, asked that they “tweet, message, share, and email” Iowa State and the Iowa State Police Department, “criticizing them for their actions.” ISU Students 4 Trump said it wants as much backlash as possible. The controversy comes after the university told organizers that security measures are required by Iowa State, which could cost the Trump group almost $1,944. In an article on the Yiannopoulos event by Breitbart titled “Iowa State University Attempts To Censor MILO Event With Security Fee Hike,” the “student organizer” for the event told the right-wing news source that he “had paid in full

Sept. 7 an amount of $1,070 out of my own pocket, which including the rental space, lighting, AV, tech, and the whole shabang.” The student organizer, who was left unnamed in the Breitbart article, said that “just yesterday, the event manager at ISU said ISU PD is requiring six officers to

secure the rental space which will cost additional but did not say the amount. Today, the event manager sent out an email saying it will require an additional $1944.” “As far as I can tell, no liberal events even required additional security let alone any at all,” the organizer told Breitbart. “There is rarely

any conservatives events that are held so its pretty obvious they are trying to cancel this event.” In response to this, ISU 4 Trump set up a GoFundMe page to help raise an additional $500 for the event. The GoFundMe page, which met its $500 goal, has since been removed. Seth Dohrn, an event coordinator at the Memorial Union, told the Iowa State Daily on Wednesday that since the group is not an officially recognized student organization, it must adhere to rules set up for outside groups. He also said a “rider” attached to an agreement to bring Yiannopoulos to campus includes specific security requirements, and a threat assessment from Iowa State also adds to the security requirement. The policies and guidelines for the Memorial Union, where the event is intended to take place, states that non-university groups, which includes ISU Students 4 Trump, are charged the full room rental. The guidelines also state that “the group scheduling MU facilities will be financially responsible for any charges or fees resulting from

the meeting, event or activity.” The MU general guidelines also state that: The Memorial Union reserves the right to cancel or suspend any event, when it is determined that an unreasonable risk to the security and/or safety of the facility and/or its patrons exists. Organizations sponsoring events are responsible for adequate supervision of their activities, and for the conduct of all individuals associated with the event in and around their events/ activities. The Memorial Union reserves the right to refuse space to any group or individual. MU Event Management reserves the right to assign and, if necessary, re-assign facilities to assure the maximum and most appropriate utilization of MU space. The Memorial Union reserves the right to change policies without notice and grant exceptions upon appeal. A statement posted online from Iowa State on Thursday morning said the university does not support or condone Yiannopoulos’ message or tactics, but the Memorial Union has long been a venue
