A former ISU profes-sor has come back from retirement for the second time to teach again.

“I flunked retire-ment twice,” said Howard Shapiro, lecturer of me-chanical engineering.

In 2004, Shapiro asked himself if he wanted to finish out his career at Iowa State. At that point, he retired as the vice pro-vost from the university.

But in 2005, he got a job at Wayne State in Detroit. He said it was an incredible experience get-ting back in to the admin-istrative side of things at Wayne State.

When Shapiro’s wife passed away in 2011, he decided to come back to Iowa, where he had long-time relationships with friends and where he had family. It was at this time that he retired for the second time from Wayne State.

After his move back

to Iowa, he came out of retirement again to take a position as a profes-sor in the engineering department.

“I’m not satisfied just to teach,” Shapiro said. “I’m satisfied to use my students’ learning as a measure of my teaching and make it a continuous work in progress.”

Shapiro went to col-lege at Ohio State, where he majored in mathemat-ics. During his junior year there, he decided that he needed to pick some-thing to pursue in gradu-ate school that would be practical.

“I didn’t even know anything about engineer-ing,” Shapiro said about when he first made his decision to pursue engi-neering. He said that upon realizing that he wanted to solve real world problems, he pursued mechanical engineering.

Shapiro got his mas-ter’s degree and his Ph.D.

The Government of Student Body Senate approved a bill to eliminate executive mem-bers’ compensation by a vote of 30-2-3.

The bill eliminated the com-bined $31,165 stipend for the fall

and spring used to assist the GSB president, vice president and fi-nance director regarding room and board.

Now the $31,165 will be able to be allocated to student clubs and organizations by GSB.

The amount of money al-located for 100 percent tuition for each executive position still

remains.President Spencer Hughes

said he originally wanted to take away all executive com-pensation, but he understood some form of compromise was necessary.

“This was a big issue I want-ed to address this year about what was the right route to take

how to move forward,” Hughes said. “Some wanted to eliminate the scholarship and keep the sti-pend. Some wanted to do it the other way.”

Hughes explained why he believed it makes sense in this case to allow the stipend for the summer months to remain.

“A student coming into this position over the summer is not necessarily anticipating that position,” Hughes said. “The distinction is if a student is run-ning for this office they are cer-tainly anticipating being a stu-dent in the fall and spring and

Lucullan’s Italian Grill located on Main Street has been serving the people of Ames for 34 years. This year it is undergoing some major changes.

One of the changes is new ownership.

Jonathan Reed, cur-rent owner of Stomping Grounds, took on the res-taurant and made it his

own.Lucullan’s officially

became Reed’s posses-sion May 30 of this year. It opened under his owner-ship in late June.

A new menu, a change of decor and renovations are some of the many changes go-ing on in Lucullan’s, said Melinda Kam, manag-er of Lucullan’s Italian Grill.

Dani Berger/Iowa State DailyHoward Shapiro, lecturer of mechanical engineering, has returned from retirement to teach at Iowa State for the sec-ond time, something he views as “the best of both worlds.”

Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a festival across the world that celebrates the lives of loved ones and families.

The Mexican-American Young Achievers Society has had an event in honor of the holiday for the past four years.

MAYAS is in charge of sev-eral other events throughout Latino Heritage Month and does several fundraisers through-out the year along with Noche Mexicana in the spring.

”We hope to spread the Mexican culture and inform the students of Iowa State about this

celebration,” said Kevin Alvarez, freshman in construction en-gineering and vice president of MAYAS.

Alvarez said the celebration dates back more than 500 years and is still celebrated today.

“The main belief of this cel-ebration is that life is a cycle and that there is not an end between life and death but just a contin-uation,” Alvarez said. “There is also a belief that we are only in state of sleep during life but are awakened at death.”

The beliefs were explained in further detail by speakers at the event, and a traditional altar was displayed. Among the tradi-tional displays were marigolds, candies, candles, fruits and oth-er favorites of the person that was represented.

There was also an opportu-nity to paint sugar skulls which was something that Celize

Christy, junior in animal sci-ence, was most excited about.

“They are one of the most fun things to decorate because they are the most recognized,” Christy said. “I think it is nice to decorate the sugar skull with different colors and just the way you want it.”

Christy heard about this event through friends in MAYAS. She came to support those friends and also get a better cul-tural understanding of the day.

“Halloween is just one of those days that is really Americanized, but there are other countries that celebrate this day in different ways and for different reasons,” Christy said.

The Ames Police Department is finding more and more cases of scams aimed at tricking Ames citi-zens into providing personal infor-mation to an anonymous source.

Home and business owners around Ames have recently been re-ceiving notices posted on their doors that claim to be from a package de-livery company. According to Ames Police, the cards appear to notify the owner or tenant that they had missed a package delivery and to call a num-ber provided in order to receive it.

The notices reportedly resemble those commonly used by companies such as UPS Inc. or FedEx, but there is no indication of a specific compa-ny on the sheet. In fact, the provided phone number leads the caller to a generic sales pitch and no package.

“This is a company basically go-ing door to door trying to give you their pitch,” said Cmdr. Geoff Huff, of Ames Police.

When the number is called, the operator typically asks for informa-tion you would not normally pro-vide in order to get a package, such as whether or not you own the home or office to which the package was addressed.

At this point most people have simply hung up, Huff said.

“It does not appear that they were trying to steal your identity in any way,” Huff said. “But, we’d still consider that a scam and unethical.”

There has not been any report of this scam being successful. However, the actions by this company are con-sidered a crime.

“Technically, if they want to go door-to-door to do sales in Ames they need to get a permit from the city, which this company has not,” Huff said.

“If we catch any of those posting these false notices, they will receive a municipal fine for doing so without a license and their pamphlets will be seized,” said Sgt. Chris Crippin, of Ames Police.

The fine is applied by the city of Ames for advertising to Ames citizens without a permit and is of a minimal amount, Crippin said.

Huff said this company’s actions are “more immoral than unlawful.”

“There are a lot more scams out there,” Crippin said. “This one’s more

false-advertising.”Ames Police urges any business-

es or citizens that may find one of these falsified notices not to respond.

If a legitimate delivery company leaves notices on front doors, that company or business title should be printed clearly on the paper.

CorrectionIn Wednesday’s paper the article titled “City election to open polls for students on campus,” it incorrectly said Parks Library was a voting location for the Nov. 5 city elections. It is not.

The Daily regrets the error.

Courtesy of Ames Police DepartmentNotices left on doors closely resemble notices that would be left by UPS Inc. or FedEx. Persons who receive notices are instructed to contact the number listed. After calling, an operator asks questions that are typically unusual to obtain a package.

More informationHere are a few tips from Cmdr. Geoff Huff, of Ames Police, about avoiding fraud.

■ When an unsolicited caller asks for personal or financial information, do not provide them with credit card, debit card or bank information, or your Social Security number.

■ Do not wire money.

■ If the call seems suspicious, involves a high-pressure sales pitch, or the person seeks personal information, hang up.

When in doubt, don’t give it out.

■ Callers can “spoof” caller ID, which means they can mask their true number and location.

■ Beware of “free” offers — they may tie you in to future charges for goods or services.

■ If you are not sure whether the call is legitimate, ask for the company’s contact information, including a physical address and phone number. Request written information. A legitimate company won’t refuse this request.

Drag queens and kings performed in a risque show Halloween night.

The annual fall drag show hosted by the LGBT Ally Alliance raised funds to send students to the Midwest Bisexual Lesbian Gay Transgender Ally Collegiate Conference in Kansas City, Mo., the largest of its kind in the country.

“I really enjoy the drag show, I think it’s fun and it’s a really relatable way that a lot of people can experience the cul-ture of drag,” said Melanie Pope, LGBTAA vice president and coor-dinator of the show.

Pope, who was the emcee, dressed as Ursula from “The Little Mermaid” and performed “Poor Unfortunate Souls” with Trixie Firecracker.

A catwalk jutted out of the main stage and a rainbow flag hung overhead in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

The majority of the crowd stood right next to the stage for the full performance. They clapped along with the music, cheered and screamed many times per song.

The audience was encour-aged to come in costumes to cel-

ebrate Halloween.Audience members went up

to the stage during performances and gave the dancers tips.

Sahid Taha said it was one of the Alliance’s better shows and that he had seen improvement from last year’s performance. Taha’s favorite performer was Madame Cunterina, who per-formed a Bollywood number and most of the Middle Eastern songs.

Cunterina said she per-formed the Middle Eastern music because she is Arabic and it is her heritage. She got into drag last year and performed in the spring drag show as well. She said the crowd reaction was amazing.

“When the crowd screams, I just freeze,” Cunterina said. She has always danced, she said, but it is much harder in the 4-inch heels she was wearing. Many of the performances were done in high heels, and almost all of the queens’ outfits were skin-tight leotards.

“It’s really important if they can fundraise and get folks to attend that they can lower the cost to getting students the ac-cess and opportunity to go,” said Brad Freihoefer, LGBT Student Services coordinator.

All of the performers were ISU students and performed

one of the more musically di-verse shows the LGBTAA has had, Freihoefer said. There were four foreign language songs, includ-ing a Bollywood piece.

One performer, Rawan, said she gets her inspiration from pop culture. Whenever she listens to a song, she imagines a video for

it, she said.“It’s a creative outlet and

I’m not from here. We don’t have anything like this,” Rawan said. She said she makes all her outfits by hand.

“It’s about gender perfor-mance and gender expression and talking about how we per-

form gender or expectations, and we kind of call it a gender-bend-er,” Freihoefer said.

The Drag Show raised $2,022 after the first count, said Blake Miller, president of the LGBTAA. Based on the money raised, about 250 people attended the event, Freihoefer said.

Helser Hall will be hosting its annual Haunted Helser haunted house Friday for the Ames community.

Haunted Helser is free and will take place from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. and is open to anyone 18 and older. Visitors will be re-quired to sign a waver before going into the haunted house.

This year’s theme for haunted Helser Hall will be “Monster Zoo,” which will in-clude many famous scenes from popular horror movies.

“We are recreating the scenes of fa-mes horror movies,” said Eric Mach, president of Helser Hall and junior in me-chanical engineering. “Some of the rooms with feature scenes from ‘Friday the 13th,’ ‘Nightmare on Elm Street,’ Leatherface, ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre,’ a room dedi-cated to Jack the Ripper.”

Those living in Helser Hall hope to increase the number of people attending this year’s event, said Adrianna Reis, social chairwoman for Helser Hall and sopho-more in animal science.

“I’m hoping to hit 300 this year,” Reis said. “We want to bring everybody on campus together through something fun and free.”

Helser Hall plans on setting up for the event day of and has purchased many costumes and decorations with the help of the Inter Residence Hall Association.

IRHA gave Helser Hall $500 to support the event, and Helser Hall also put in $200 of its own.

“Big thanks to IRHA for making stu-dent events possible,” Mach said. “It is important to organize events like Haunted Helser to give back to both the students and community.”

The haunted house will begin at the door closest to Union Drive Community Center.

From there, students will be led through the basement, into the main hall-way, out to the courtyard, to an old garage attached to the building, back into the building and will finally finish back out the door.

“[We want to] create an ethereal at-mosphere that would be in a building and transfer you to somewhere else,” Mach said.

Many Helser Hall residents are volun-teering to try and make the best haunted house, Reis said.

“[Our goal is to] make people want to do it again next year,” Reis said. “[It is important] to bring everybody on campus together through something fun and free.”

Mach said he believes the event is a true Helser Hall tradition. He wanted to foster the experience and give it back to Helser Hall and the rest of Iowa State the best he can.

“[It is] a theatrical experience,” Mach said. “[The purpose is] to have fun cel-ebrating Halloween and give back to the community.”

Helser plans to advertise for their event by creating posters, flyers and write on campus with chalk for the event.

The events organizers hope for a great turnout, and they encourage people look-ing for a scare to come to Haunted Helser, Reis said.

They hope to make this years show better than it has ever been.

Haunted HelserHaunted Helser takes place from 7 p.m. to midnight Friday.


Haunted Helser provides free scare for students older than 18

On a dark evening this Halloween, students as-sembled in Morrill Hall to discuss the paranormal of Iowa State.

Each person came with their own ghostly tales about buildings on campus.

In charge of the sto-ry-telling session was Amanda Hall, former employee of University Museums. With a fascina-tion for spooky stories, she returns to tell stories about the Iowa State haunting.

The Farm House Museum on campus has had an eerie past. Employees of the Farm House have reported ob-jects being moved and lights being turned on when the employees had turned them off.

On an autumn day in 1892, Ester Willbur, resi-dent of the Farm House, left for no apparent rea-son. She was found dead in the College Creek.

“I saw a shadow pass, like someone was walk-ing across in front of me,” Hall said. “I had been used to people walking in front of me, but this was not a

person.”Freeman Hall is home

to many students and also has a a story or two about being haunted. One student reported lights flickering, scratches on doors and walls, and even screams.

But Zach Bristow, se-nior in finance, said: “I lived in Freeman. I don’t remember ever hear-ing about those things happening.”

The Memorial Union also has a paranormal past. Gold Star Hall has been subject to many odd noises.

Engineers have not been able to locate the noises.

A third-shift work-er was walking around the Memorial Union’s

hotel one night, check-ing to make sure there weren’t people where they shouldn’t be.

When looking around, the employee saw a shad-ow through the small space under the door in the laundry room.

No one was sup-posed to be in the laundry room after midnight. After opening the door, no one was there.

Some past students in Friley Hall have reported sightings of a small child in a suit running in the halls.

There had been a wedding one summer where a little boy had been the ring bearer. Before the wedding, the little boy was struck by a bus and killed.

There are other tales

about Friley popular among students. Another story tells of a strange tall figure hanging out the sec-ond floor window.

The witness reported the strange figure opening up a window and jump-ing down two floors. Later, after the reported sight-ing, the room that the fig-ure had jumped into was searched.

The corpse of a man who had been missing for two weeks was found hanging from the ceiling.

“My intentions are not to build up fear in the Iowa State students. I am just trying to spread the his-tory,” Hall said.

Hall said she encour-ages students interested in the haunting of Iowa State to explore its history.


ISU shares haunting stories of its past

Ellen Williams/Iowa State DailyAmanda Hall shared her ISU ghost stories in Morrill Hall on Thursday. Hall shared personal stories and many other tales and urban legends from the university’s history.

Lifting weights is cru-cial to staying in shape, but diet is No. 1, said Ryan Wagner, certified nutri-tionist and manager of Complete Nutrition. Most nutritionists say diet makes up 70 percent of your body image and overall health.

“You can’t ever outwork a bad diet; you can have the craziest workouts in the world; you could have the best genetics in the world, but if you eat crap all day long; you’re never going to get to your true potential,” Wagner said.

Wagner said obe-sity is becoming a prob-lem at younger ages, and rates are increasing every year. He said 75 percent of Americans are overweight. Proper diet combined with physical activity can pre-vent this.

“We had a saying back when I was working with the football team; it was pri-or proper preparation pre-vents poor performance,” Wagner said.

“Work ethic and moti-vation are key components to anyone’s workout. If you look at Adrian Peterson, for example, he blew out his knee and came back right away simply because he doesn’t accept it. Everyone can incorporate this type of mindset,” Wagner said.

“I work out because I like to. It’s a stress reliever for me, especially when I was still in school, with tests and things like that,” Wagner said. “Sometimes, go clear your head for a while, hit the gym.”

Although a lot of peo-ple prefer the gym, some people do see success with programs like P90X and Insanity, Wagner said. The only issue with these pro-grams is that the individuals are reporting to themselves and holding themselves ac-countable for completing a workout.

“The exercises Insanity has you go through are ex-tremely tough,” said Mike Hollander, senior in mar-keting. “I could barely keep posture in some of them because it was having me

work areas I have never used before.”

When people follow an at-home workout the way it is meant to be, often times they will see great results, and it can be all done in the comfort of their own house-hold, Wagner said.

Wagner said people are cheating themselves when they pause the videos to take long breaks.

“It’s about believing in yourself,” Wagner said. “Our minds control so much, if you tell yourself, well I’ll never have a six pack, of course you won’t. You just told yourself you won’t.”

On the other hand, when someone tells them-selves they will give it their all, they have a much higher chance of meeting their goals, Wagner said.

There’s something out there for everyone. No mat-ter who they are they can stay in shape some way. People underestimate how many calories they can burn while enjoying fun activities.

If you’re playing some-thing you love like basket-

ball, you’re probably go-ing to be in decent cardio shape, Wagner said.

“For instance, Nelly, he’s always in his music vid-eos — he’s always shirtless; he’s always in great shape — and they always ask him,

‘What do you do to stay fit?’” Wagner said. “He goes, ‘I lift occasionally; I just play a lot of basketball.’”

Maintaining goals and developing a routine are important parts of working out. Students should try to

set aside specific time for their workouts so it doesn’t get in the way of their daily rituals, Wagner said.

“It doesn’t have to be a crazy goal,” Wagner said. “It just has to be a goal that means something to you.”

in mechanical engineering at Ohio State as well.

Shapiro came straight to Iowa State from Ohio State in 1975 as an assis-tant professor of mechani-cal engineering.

“I really loved being here,” Shapiro said.

Shapiro taught in the department for 30 years. In the late 1980s, he was elected to the Ames School Board, where he served for nine years.

Shapiro said this was a life changing part of his career.

“I realized there was a whole discipline of teach-ing and learning research,” Shapiro said. “It really got me excited as a faculty

member.”Shapiro said he is al-

ways looking for ways to improve in the classroom.

“Every day after class, he would ask our TAs’ view points of what he could do to make the class better and ask what the class was struggling with in home-work assignments or tests. He was dedicated to help-ing students in any way he could,” said Josh Lehs, student teaching assistant for Shapiro last winter and current graduate student in mechanical engineering.

Shapiro is also the co-author of a textbook, which is just going into its eighth edition, now with two more co-authors.

Shapiro said he isn’t planning to stop teaching

any time soon.“I’ll teach as long as I

feel like I’m able to do it ef-fectively,” Shapiro said.

Since he is technically retired, Shapiro said he has “the best of both worlds.” He gets to teach and spend time with his family and friends, and that is what he says he loves to do.

Shapiro is leaving a lasting legacy on students here, even those he never personally taught accord-ing to Lehs.

“His enjoyment of thermodynamics has, in part, inspired me to con-tinue on with my gradu-ate studies more focused in thermodynamic-related subject areas such as com-bustion and heat transfer,” Lehs said.

“We repainted everything, painted the chairs and everything, changed table cloths,” Kam said. “We took out the salad bar and changed the whole menu. The menu was very large before. We cut that down to a smaller menu that will change seasonally.”

With the addition of a lunch hour, an all-Italian wine list and fresh pasta, a new menu might not be all that’s in store for this old restaurant with a new feel.

“The downstairs will be the bar and casual dining area of Lucullan’s,” Reed said. “We’ll focus on classic cocktails with simple fresh ingredients, a great se-lection of unique wine and beer as well as excellent espresso.”

As of now, business is steady. Without the use of major advertis-ing, word of mouth is the main way Lucullan’s is getting its name out there, Kam said.

“Business has been steadily in-creasing since re-opening,” Reed said. “The pace has been, for the most part, just right. I didn’t want to get too busy too quickly to make sure bal-ancing the two places would go as planned.”

Lucullan’s Italian Grill should be up and running 100 percent within the next few weeks.

Customers can enjoy the best of both worlds with a fancy Italian din-ner upstairs and a casual Italian bistro downstairs, Kam said.

are able to cover those expenses accordingly.”

Hughes said that while the Executive Branch of GSB dedi-cates a lot of time to their posi-tion, other campus leaders who do not receive any compensa-tion do the same.

“I see the Veishea co-chairs, the Dance Marathon co-chairs, they’re in their office just as much as we are,” Hughes said. “Taking their time to work on im-proving the student experience, on improving their organiza-tions. They’re getting nothing. In fact, what they’re doing is they’re paying more so that we can get that money because it’s their student activity fee dollars.”

Several students, all for the bill, expressed their opinions at Wednesday’s GSB meeting.

One of them was Austin Dorenkamp, senior in computer engineering and co-president of the Engineering Student Council.

“Compared to maybe a mil-lion dollars it’s not a ton, but de-pending on how you use it you can impact a significant number of clubs,” Dorenkamp said.

Dan Rediske, current fi-nance director, talked about how his life has changed as finance director.

“There is a little bit more

scrutiny in my day to day life because if I make a mistake, it usually gets written in the Daily,” Rediske said. “That is not so much true in every other position.”

Rediske also said he spends up to 50 hours a week on fi-nance director business and has skipped class and lost points in class to attend meetings related to his position.

Sen. Barry Snell said mem-bers of GSB should be students first and GSB members second.

“If anybody can stand here and say that they need the sti-pend because they miss class or school’s so hard ... with all due respect, I’m just gonna lay it out on the line: Tough s---,” Snell said.

Numbers distributed by Hughes, and originally col-lected by a legislative aide for the University of Texas at Austin Student Government, showed Iowa State is the only Big 12 school to offer both full cost of tuition and a stipend for service in student government executive positions.

Kansas, Texas Christian, and Texas Tech did not provide full information regarding executive compensation.

Sen. Khayree Fitten said he did not believe Iowa State’s situation could be compared to other institutions in the Big 12

Conference.Fitten also expressed a con-

cern, brought to him by a con-stituent, that eliminating the executive stipend would prevent those who were not as well off fi-nancially from running for GSB executive positions.

Hughes asked why financial situations are concerns of mem-bers of the executive branch, but not any other areas of GSB.

He also said by federal law students are entitled to student loans up to the cost of atten-dance, including living expenses and tuition.

Sen. Gage Kensler talked about the number of students outside of GSB who participated in debate and stayed until the vote on the bill.

“I’ve been on GSB for five years. I’ve never seen students stay for this long other than if they had a bill for their [particu-lar] club and we just hadn’t got-ten to it yet,” Kensler said.

Hughes said that while the bill may not be perfect, it would make a positive impact.

“I don’t think a number of people in here think that this is the ideal solution, but there’s nothing preventing anyone in this room from taking this after it’s passed and saying we should adjust this and do something a little bit different,” Hughes said.

Jen Hao Wong /Iowa State DailySpencer Hughes, president of GSB, said he originally wanted to take away all executive compensation, but he understood some form of compromise was necessary. Now, that money can go to other clubs and organizations.

friends in MAYAS and to help out with face painting.

“There is a lot of creativity that comes with face painting,” Maciel-Hernandez said. “There is no design, so no face is the same.”

Maciel-Hernandez said she hopes that this event will bring awareness to

this celebration, clear up any misconcep-tions that come along with this holiday and also give a better understanding that this is a family event.

“It’s a day of remembrance for fam-ily members who have past, through the foods that they ate or music that they liked to listen to. Instead of a celebration of death, it’s a celebration of their life,” Maciel-Hernandez said.

Candles — Candles are lit to welcome the spirits back to their altars.

Marigolds — These yellow-orange flowers, also called cempasuchitl, symbolize death. Their strong fragrance also help lead the dead back to their altars. Marigold petals may also be sprinkled on the floor in front of the altar, or even sprinkled along a path from the altar to the front door, so that the spirit may find her way inside.

Incense — Most commonly, copal incense, which is the dried aromatic resin from a tree native to Mexico. The scent is also said to guide the spirits back to their altars

Salt — represents the continuance of life.

Photo of the deceased — A framed photo of the dead person to whom the altar is dedicated, usually positioned in a prime spot on the altar.

Pan de muerto — Also known as “bread of the dead”, pan de muerto is a symbol of the departed.

Sugar skulls — As symbols of death and the afterlife, sugar skulls are not only given as gifts to the living during Day of the Dead, they are also placed as offerings on the altar.

Fresh fruit — whatever is in season — oranges, bananas, etc.

Other foods — Traditional Day of the Dead foods that you would find on altars include atole, mole, tamales, and tortillas. Altars also usually include the dead person’s favorite foods, including modern foods like Rice Krispies or potato chips.

Diet, work ethic play vital part in workout, healthy livingBy William.Byal

As technology advances, we ask ourselves questions that would have seemed ridiculous scant

decades ago. One of these questions looms directly ahead: Should auto-mated — self-driving — cars be legal, and under what conditions?

In days of the past, this query might have seemed ridiculous, like asking how to tax land ownership on Jupiter. However, it is now a very real possibility — one that companies, lawmakers and individuals all have to face.

For starters, where does blame lay in the case of an accident? Can a driver be ticketed for losing attention while his car drove itself? Can a driver sue the company that created and installed the automated technology when it fails? Can intoxicated people use their self-driving cars to safely get home, or would that still be consid-ered driving under the influence?

These are just a few of the inex-haustible questions that arise with this oncoming innovation.

Additionally, there will have to be strict regulation of the self-driving technology to ensure that it is de-pendable and professionally made.

As Time writer Adam Cohen puts it: “Just because your neighbor Jeb is able to jerry-rig his car to drive itself using an old PC and some fishing tackle, that does not mean he should be allowed to.”

At the end of the day, most of these questions boil down to safety. In simple terms, self-driven cars are by definition “safer.” Driving while eating, applying makeup, texting or drunk — these and other operator errors create most annual traffic ac-cidents. The hope is that automated cars could cut out these issues and prevent deaths. And so far, it’s true: They result in fewer accidents and deaths than do cars driven by people. As we are often reminded, humans are imperfect.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 2012 had 34,080 traffic fatalities in the United States. That number comprises countless friends and family members that needlessly died. A study done

by the Eno Center for Transportation released Oct. 24 has made some reas-suring claims, however. According to the study, 1,100 lives could be saved each year if just 10 percent of the driving population used self-driving vehicles. On its own, that number is amazing; imagine the number of lives saved if 50, 60 or even 100 percent of cars were semi or fully automated.

To all appearances, this is fantas-tic news. In the next couple decades when we perfect the automated car, we could save hundreds of thousands of lives. There can’t possibly be an is-sue with these new statistics.

Unfortunately, there kind of is.The problem is that in the saving

of lives, we will be basically trading a set of lives that would have been lost for an entirely different set. For example, maybe there is a person whose bad or inattentive driving skills cost them and their passengers their lives one tragic day. Proportionately replicated over the population of the U.S., that’s a lot of deaths. Self-driving cars will do away with that danger so that poor drivers will be saved.

However, the few who do die in automated accidents will be entirely different people. A person in an auto-mated car might be an excellent and responsible driver, but an unfortunate

technical or mechanical error in the car could lead to their demise.

You might ask: “So what? We would still be helping countless people.”

It may seem like a simple answer, but what we will really be deciding is the worth of a human life. Can we trade one life for another? How about 100 lives for just one other? An inconsolable mother who has just lost a son in an accident may very well say her son’s life was worth 1,000 others. It is impossible to make these choices using broad generalities. It may seem to have an easy answer, but it is a far-reaching and deeply consequential moral question.

Overall, the invention of auto-mated cars hints at a brighter future, one in which fewer people are injured or killed needlessly on the road. The widely-stretched establishment of our cities, towns and suburbs makes driv-ing a necessity for most Americans. The innovation of self-driven cars might be just what we need to knock down the death toll. Regardless, the implementation of automated vehi-cles is not without moral implications.

It is our social responsibility to consider all of these ethical dilemmas and ask ourselves, what is the value of a human life?

Abraham Lincoln is widely regarded as one of the foremost

presidents in U.S. history. His place on our iconic Mount Rushmore would be evidence enough of that even without the imposing monument upon which he sits in our nation’s capitol.

On top of his legend-ary oratory skills and his commitment to our country despite personal tragedy, Lincoln is credited with preserving our nation throughout its toughest trial: our Civil War. Even after the war, Lincoln led the charge to welcome our Southern brothers back with open arms, disagree-ing with the pervading idea that the South should be punished extensively for its transgressions.

It is a terrible indict-ment on our country that even today there are those who show complete and utter disrespect toward Lincoln, the Union he helped mend and the foun-dations upon which our nation stands. But just who are these perpetrators?

Anyone ignorant enough to fly the flag of the Confederate States of America.

While the Dixie Flag most of us know was nei-ther the official flag of the Confederacy nor widely popular during the Civil War, it is today universally associated with the seces-sion of the southern states.

Granted, some may not fly or adorn their property and bodies with the rebel flag to show support for actual secession or for the principles upon which that secession was based. Some individuals may think of the flag as representing “south-ern pride,” “states’ rights” or a host of other — perhaps more sinister — meanings.

Unfortunately for those oblivious enough to think that they can impart upon

a flag their own personal meanings, this is just not the case. Flags stand in a relatively small class of idols which transcend per-sonal affiliation. They are flown on high for the exact reason that they do not mean something different to everyone. They represent a single idea, for which there may be many names but is not deviated from in principle.

Having said that, it is equally important to note that the Confederate flag of today is not a beacon of slavery, racism or any other particular interpersonal ideology. The Confederacy was not built upon the no-tion that people should be able to own other people, and it did not stand upon the idea that any particular race was superior to others.

Yes, those notions absolutely pervaded the Southern states and their citizenry at the time of the Civil War, but the underly-ing idea that led to seces-sion was that states are in-dependent political bodies, who cannot be coerced by a Union they feel has grown

too powerful.Beliefs about human

ownership were certainly at the forefront of discussions as to where the line should be drawn for the Union’s power, but even without that particular disagree-ment (horrible though it is to even hold such a disagreement) the states were still divided as to what the limits of federal power should be.

It can be understand-able that many have romanticized the feelings of rebellion that underscored the Civil War. However, what distinguishes the American Rebel from others is that the United States was not being oppressive to those who rebelled. Unlike the French Resistance in World War II or the Native American battles for free-dom, those who rebelled in the Civil War already had a legitimate voice in the government they warred against.

When that voice, which others have killed and died to gain, did not get them what they wanted, instead of accepting the inevitable

consequence of living in union with others, they cut themselves from said union and turned that very knife against those who before had embraced them as equals.

Make no mistake, fly-ing the Confederate flag, whether it is on an actual flagpole, a bumper sticker or a T-shirt, advertises to anyone familiar with American history that you do not support our na-tion as it is now guided by the Constitution. For it is unequivocally a character-istic of the United States of America that our federal government should be both powerful and supreme to the governments of the various states, despite what those who seceded may have said or thought.

If you disagree, you are certainly able to show such feelings by flying the flag of the Confederate States of America, but realize that when you do so, you fly it in the face of our great nation.

You will know that face by the twisted look of disgusted disappointment it shall hold.

Self-driving cars pose questions of safety, morality with new techDon’t make

classes easier; students need challenges

Confederate flag dishonors America

Editorial

It is at this time of year when students dust off their course catalogs, visit their adviser that they have not seen in many months, and then hope for a schedule that does not require to rise out of bed before the sun.

This is also when one question is passed from student to student: Does anyone know if this course easy, or does it require work?

It is a question that has resided on college campuses for eons and as students who are paying for their education, it is certainly their choice if they wish to short themselves on their own education and future ability to compete in the global market.

However, teachers should work hard to not find themselves in the “this class is a breeze” category.

A common occurrence that is mak-ing its way into Iowa State’s classrooms is teachers who drop the difficulty of their class after the first test. If a large number of students do not pull in a good grade on their first test or project, some professors will alter their course work to make it easi-er, and more passable, for their students.

This is not the point of a college education. Students should be challenged, the classes should be difficult, and it is the student who should rise to meet the dif-ficulty of the class.

This is the only way that we as a soci-ety can continue to produce professionals that will be more than competent, but excel in their future careers.

Students who are challenged in their classrooms will know how to meet greater challenges in the future because a job will certainly not lower its expectations if an employee is struggling, they will simply let that employee go.

That is not to say there are not chal-lenging dropout classes offered to students across campus, nor does that mean that professors should make all of their classes so difficult they operate as a dropout course. It simply means that professors should not lower their expectations of a class before giving the students the chance to prove themselves.

Many students might do poorly on a first exam, but that does not mean that they will not rise to the occasion on the next one.

Dropping the difficulty of a course is also severely unfair to the students who did do well at the start of the class and is paying large amounts of money to have the best education possible.

Cheating these students out of what they have paid for because they either took the time to study, or in some cases just naturally do well with the subject, is one of the most unjust things a professor can do.

If students want an easier course, they will find one; professors don’t need to change their work to meet the students needs.

Students also always have the capabil-ity to dedicate more time to studying, find-ing a tutor or even dropping the course if they truly are struggling. However, the student that does want to be challenged does not have a way to make the course more difficult.

Future employers have high expec-tations for what they want to see out of graduates from Iowa State.

If courses at Iowa State are continu-ally becoming easier, the graduates that are produced from the university will be less and less prepared for their future jobs, making ISU graduates less appealing to job offers.

Unfortunately, the world rarely adapts itself to a single person or group, it is the person that must learn to adapt them-selves to the world.

This lesson can be reinforced every day in the classroom by teaching students who are struggling new ways to study or better time management skills so they can continue to excel.

And sometimes, it might even come down to the fact that a person was just not meant for that subject.

A college education is a choice and professors need to work to not cheating their students looking for a challenge.

When the final buzzer blares and senior Emily Goldstein walks off her home field for the final time, the feelings she anticipates having will be a far cry from her feelings as a freshman.

“I was scared all the time, and I played very scared,” Goldstein said. “The team wasn’t as close when I got here and I think that’s been a big thing the past four years is unifying the team.”

Goldstein is one of nine se-niors that will say goodbye to the Cyclone Sports Complex after the ISU soccer team’s final, regular season game Friday night against Oklahoma State.

For ISU coach Wendy Dillinger, this senior class has meant a great deal to her. They were Dillinger’s first recruiting class, and many started as fresh-man, with only one player from

that original class transferring.“I’m super excited for them,

and they’ve been tremendous along the way,” Dillinger said. “The biggest thing this group has done is redefining the culture of the program in terms of com-mitment, excellence, work rate, dedication and drive. They have never stopped working to move forward.”

A big step in redefining ISU soccer is the guaranteed spot at the Big 12 tournament for the first time since 2007. The Cyclones are also in the running to finish in fourth place, the highest since a third-place finish in 2005.

In order for the Cyclones to finish fourth in the standings and earn the fourth seed in the tour-nament, they will need to beat the Cowgirls and see if Baylor will beat Texas Christian.

With different scenarios sur-rounding Iowa State’s tourna-ment destiny, Dillinger is focused on what she and her team can

control, but that does not mean she isn’t paying attention to what seed the team could land.

“We could potentially land in fourth place, which would be ideal, but again doing that doesn’t necessarily put us in the matchup we want,” Dillinger

said. “We’ve seen everybody, and the teams that we’ll likely end up seeing are teams we’ve faced in the last two weeks.”

Iowa State will kick off against Oklahoma State at the Cyclone Sports Complex at 7 p.m. Friday.

With the fall season coming to a close, the ISU cross-country teams will head to Waco, Texas, this weekend for the Big 12 Conference Championships on Saturday.

A win for the women’s squad would mark the Cyclones’ third-consecutive conference championship.

“There are no words to de-scribe it. I came to [Iowa State] to be a part of a team that was great and was able to accom-plish these things,” said ISU captain Samantha Bluske. “Not many people can say that they won one champion-ship, let alone three. It would be incredible.”

Bluske was sidelined earlier in the season due to a stress frac-ture in her foot, which caused her to be in a boot for about four weeks.

She was cleared by of-ficials to start workouts again last weekend and slowly has been getting back into a routine.

Whether she will run or not this weekend is still up in the air.

“I’m treating it like I’m racing on Saturday, but really, it will be a game-time decision,” Bluske said. “But whether I race or not, it doesn’t change our goal as a team: to win a third conference championship.”

The men’s team moved up in the rankings last week. The Cyclones are ranked No. 4 in the Midwest region, after being out-side of the top 10 earlier in the year.

Although they haven’t raced in competition in close to a month, the runners feel they are well prepared for the confer-ence meet.

“The last three weeks have gone extremely well in our training,” said ISU coach Martin Smith. “If we can transfer the improvements we have made in practice into the competition environment, I’m confident that the team will maximize our finish.

“The hope is that a success-ful performance at the Big 12 Championships will be a posi-tive catalyst for regionals.”

After the ISU women fin-ished fifth at the Wisconsin Adidas Invite two weeks ago, the team jumped 20 spots in the national rankings and are now No. 8. It was ISU coach Andrea Grove-McDonough’s job to make sure that the new ranking didn’t go to the runner’s heads.

“Obviously the ranking was very exciting and a nice compli-ment,” Grove-McDonough said. “But I tried to bring the girls back down to Earth, too. I’m not sure we are the eighth best team out there yet. We can be eighth as long as we remain sol-id as we go forward. Anything is possible.”

The men will start their 8-kilometer race at 10 a.m., and the women will start their 6-ki-lometer race at 11 a.m.

The meet will be at Cottonwood Creek Golf Course in Waco.

And along with the high expectations from the women’s squad, Grove-McDonough has some pretty high expectations, too.

“I’m excited to see how they preform in a championship set-ting and see how they handle pressure that goes along with that,” Grove-McDonough said. “I’m expecting to go in and kick some butt. And honestly, I’m ex-pecting a win.”

Dual quarterback threat

Ejim suffers bone bruise, faces 4-6 weeks of no playBy [email protected]

The last five seasons have brought five losses against Kansas State, and each one has come a little bit

different.In one instance, it was a blocked

extra point. Others have come on slight-ly missed big plays. Last season it was Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein rushing for three touchdowns on the ground.

When Iowa State (1-6, 0-4 Big 12) searches this Saturday, Nov. 2, for its first win against Kansas State (3-4, 1-3 Big 12) since the 2007-08 season, the latest chal-lenge will be figuring out the Wildcats’ du-al-quarterbacks in Jake Waters and Daniel Sams.

“I know one can run a little bit more than the other, but at the end of the day, they both can do the same thing,” said ISU linebacker Jeremiah George. “Our focus won’t be stopping one for passing, stopping one for running — it’ll be trying to contain both of them at what they both do well.”

Sams and Waters have both ap-peared in all seven games for Kansas State this season and will split time against the

Cyclones in Manhattan, Kan., where Iowa State hasn’t won since 2004.

The two have both established differ-ent identities early on.

Waters has established himself as the passer among the two with 135 passing attempts and seven touchdowns through the air compared to Sams’ 40 passing at-tempts. Sams has carried the ball a team-high 100 times this season for 538 yards, while Waters has 63 rushing attempts.

That difference in tendencies, said ISU coach Paul Rhoads, won’t change the Cyclones’ game plan.

“I don’t think they’re drastically dif-ferent, because they’re both running the ball and both throwing it,” Rhoads said.

“It’s not like we’ve got a two-sided game plan with Sams and Waters when they’re in there that you switch to the other.”

ISU defensive coordinator Wally Burnham compared Sams to Klein.

“He’s not quite as patient, but he does the same things,” Burnham said. “It’s the same offense as they ran last year.”

In addition to his three touchdowns last season, Klein also rushed for 116 yards against the Cyclones and passed for 187 yards.

Sams brings that same style for the Cyclones to prepare for, and Waters adds a second element. Each quarterback also brings a different set of personnel, which is where Burnham said his defense will adjust.

“It’s kind of like a chess game,” Burnham said. “Who is No. 4 in there with at running back? Who is No. 15 in there with at running back? We’ve got to do a good job with those kind of things.”

Iowa State has two quarterbacks of its own to worry about, too. Rhoads said the Cyclones’ starter — Sam Richardson or Grant Rohach — will be a game time deci-sion on Saturday.

The Cyclones’ five consecutive losses to the Wildcats have come by an average of 5.8 points per game. ISU running back Jeff Woody, who has been a part of four of those losses, knows that defeat all too well.

“Every single time it’s just one thing that sinks your heart at the end of the game,” Woody said.

The ISU athletic depart-ment announced Thursday that senior forward Melvin Ejim hyper-extended his

left knee and suffered a bone bruise in practice on Wednesday and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks.

Ejim was a preseason All-Big 12 selection and was nominated for the senior

CLASS Award this week as well. He averaged 10.3 points per game and led the Big 12 in rebounding per game with 9.3 and in double-doubles with 15 last season on the way to the Cyclones’ second

consecutive NCAA tourna-ment appearance.

Iowa State starts the season Sunday against Augustana (S.D.) here in Ames. Tip off is scheduled for 5 p.m.

The ISU tennis team will be in Houston this weekend to finish up the fall season at the Cougar Classic.

Ana Gasparovic, Samantha Budai, Ksenia Pronina and Emma Waites will be competing at the tournament with each play-er participating in singles and doubles matches.

The double pairings for this tournament will be Gasparovic and Budai as a duo and Pronina and Waites as the other pair. This last tournament of the fall will be used to help the play-ers determine what they have improved and what still needs to be worked on to get them ready for the spring competition.

“It is going to be impor-tant since we will see Texas Tech, Kansas and Baylor, which are three teams that are in our conference,” said ISU coach Armando Espinosa. “So it will be nice to see how we are stacking against them.”

This week, the team has been concentrating on the shot tolerance since it is practicing indoors now. The ball comes a lot faster inside, but the team will be playing outside in Houston this weekend, making the points feel longer.

Being outdoors re-quires more thought about

different weather elements when playing the point, so the Cyclones have also been working on condi-tioning and running so that the players are prepared for those longer rounds.

“We have to make sure we don’t get as impatient as we have in the past,” Espinosa said in reference to the slower ball move-ment from the wind.

In comparison to Regionals, this tournament might not be as demanding. However, the team is still expecting tough competi-tion. The top bracket may be more difficult than the lower ones, but Espinosa recognizes all of the teams going to the event are quality teams with tough competitors.

Sophomore Gaspa- rovic worked throughout the summer to improve, and this weekend, she hopes will help her put ev-erything from the summer and the fall season out on the court. It will then be time to focus on what can improve even more before the spring season.

The chance to end the fall season on a big stage is an opportunity Gasparovic feels she is ready for.

“I’ve never been to Houston, so I am excited to see the city and play in the tournament,” Gasparovic said.

The tournament will go from Friday until Sunday.

According to Cyclone Hockey, scoring early plus depth equals mo-mentum, which will lead to wins this weekend against Indiana.

For the past three seasons, the No. 7 Cyclones (11-2-1, 3-1-0 CSCHL) have had trouble putting away the unranked Hoosiers (4-4-0, 0-4-0 CSCHL), as they have split six games against each other in that time span.

This weekend, the Cyclones will travel to Indiana to take on their Central States Collegiate Hockey League conference rival once again in a two-game series. This time, how-ever, the Cyclones want to score ear-ly to gain momentum so they don’t play catch up with the Hoosiers.

“We don’t have to get the first goal every time, but we do need to make sure we get at least two or three goals in the first period in every game,” said ISU coach Al Murdoch. “We have the strength and the ver-satility to be able to do that. To have to crawl from behind 1-0 or trying to come from behind throughout the whole game ends up tiring are play-ers physical and mentally.”

The Cyclones’ ability to score hasn’t been a problem this year, as they have five players on the roster with ten or more total points.

But after their 1-0 loss to Ohio last Friday, Murdoch saw that the Cyclones had issue with keeping their energy up on the ice. Murdoch said that to correct this, the Cyclones need to come out strong against the Hoosiers.

Murdoch’s emphasis on the need for the Cyclones to capture the momentum in the first period is because the Hoosiers have already almost upset Robert Morris and Lindenwood — two of top teams in the Central States Collegiate Hockey League — this season.

Cyclone goalie Matt Cooper shares his coach’s concerns. He said that even though the Hoosiers aren’t the most skilled team, they are still capable of piecing together a win against the Cyclones.

“[The Hoosiers] are a hard work-ing team,” Cooper said. “They can beat us by getting a couple of goals here and there.”

To forward Jon Feavel, making sure that the team’s energy is high when they face the Hoosiers is the most important thing the team needs to attend to this week in practice.

“We need to be mentally prepar-ing and focusing on our energy on

the ice,” Feavel said. “We can worry about other stuff, like systems, dur-ing the game.”

The Cyclones’ roster depth will also be a key element in making sure that the Cyclones are able to keep up the tempo against the Hoosiers, Murdoch said.

“We have a couple of guys nurs-ing some sore spots,” Murdoch said. “It is good to have an option and the depth to put other players in the lineup to give other players a rest.”

For Murdoch, this series against the Hoosiers is a must-win. He sees this series as an indicator on where the Cyclones will be in the confer-ence this year.

“If we split the series, then all of [a] sudden it is not a race for who is going to come in first in the league, but it is a race for who’s not going to come in last in the league, and we don’t want to be in that kind of race,” Murdoch said.

After a week of rest, the ISU swimming and diving team will hit the pool again for competi-tion this weekend. The Cyclones (2-0-1, 0-0 Big 12) will travel to Nebraska to face off against Nebraska-Omaha (2-5).

Nebraska-Omaha is the third-straight Summit League op-ponent for the Cyclones, after fac-ing South Dakota State and South Dakota two weeks ago.

In years past, Iowa State has dominated Nebraska-Omaha, as the Cyclones are 11-0 against the Mavericks all-time in dual meetings.

With the undefeated all-time record and a Big 12 duel against Texas Christian looming the week after, the Cyclones are focused on taking care of business and not overlooking their opponent.

“Whoever you’re going against, you’re going to go out and race against them,” said ISU coach Duane Sorenson. “It’s not so much

a matter of getting psyched up and fired up or having a letdown.”

The Cyclones will use the meet to help solidify their lineups as conference opponents are right around the corner.

After experimenting with dif-ferent swimmers competing in various events in previous match-es, Sorenson hopes that he can begin to set his lineups with his swimmers all competing in their best events.

The road trip will be a little different for ISU swimmer Kristy Kunkel and diver Elyse Brouillette, who are both from Omaha.

“I swam at that pool all of high school, so it’s nice to get back in a pool I’m really comfort-able with,” Kunkel said. She also noted that having more family and friends in attendance is an added bonus.

The Cyclones’ undefeated start through three meets is their best start since the 2006-07 sea-son, and the team attributes that to a number of different reasons.

“The chemistry on the team

is really good compared to past years,” Kunkel said. “We all get along really well.”

Sorenson noted that the team does team building activities ev-ery Wednesday at its weekly meet-ings, which has contributed to the closeness of the team.

Another reason for the strong start has been major con-tributions from underclassmen. Freshmen Karyl Clarete, Brooke Evensen, Savanna Townsend and Julie Dickinson have all shown the ability to score points for the team.

“The freshmen coming in have really stepped up and pushed all of us,” said Emily Wiltsie, senior captain.

The match against Nebraska-Omaha will feature different for-mat than that of other meets.

The meet is a sprint meet and will consist of a 100-meter race of each stroke, a 50 free-style and a 200 individual med-ley. Additionally, the swimmers are allowed to enter every event, with three swimmers designated

to have their times count towards the team score.

“It’s kind of a training meet,” Sorenson said. “We’re going to get a lot of times out of swimmers in events they never get to swim.”

The format will allow the coach to evaluate his team and helps solidify the lineup for when conference duels roll around.

The duel will begin at 6 p.m. Friday night in Omaha, Neb.

ISU looks toward Baylor, leaves Texas Tech behind

Brian Achenbach/Iowa State DailySenior libero Kristen Hahn bumps the ball to set her teammates during Iowa State’s 3-2 victory against Texas Tech on Wednesday at Hilton Coli-seum. Hahn said the Cyclones need to bring their best on Saturday.

A previous 3-0 victory was the result of the last meeting be-tween the Iowa State and Baylor volleyball teams, but Iowa State will likely have the more recent memory of a five-set match against conference cellar dwell-ers Texas Tech as they travel to Waco, Texas, for a Big 12 match against Baylor.

The Cyclones (13-6, 7-2 Big 12) will play the Bears (11-14, 3-6 Big 12) after having swept them in their previous meeting at Hilton Coliseum back on Sept. 4 in the Big 12 opener.

With the previous sweep in mind, senior Tenisha Matlock said they won’t be able to take anything for granted after coming off of a narrow win against Texas Tech at home on Wednesday.

“Even if we know in our minds that we have the capabil-ity to win against every opponent not to just take it lightly,” Matlock

said.The second half of the Big

12 slate is underway and senior Kristen Hahn emphasized that Baylor and other teams in the conference are going to look dif-ferent than they did the first time they played each other.

“Every team’s going to face us with their best game and with a new team too,” Hahn said. “Just expecting them to come and give us a game every time.”

ISU coach Christy Johnson-

Lynch said that the best thing they can do while getting ready for their match with Baylor on Saturday is to forget about the match against Texas Tech on Wednesday.

“I think the best thing we can do is forget about it and get ready for the next match and just say it was a hiccup,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Big deal. Let’s move on.”

Johnson-Lynch said that her players looked “gassed” during the match against Texas Tech and that that will change how they practice leading into Saturday’s match against the Bears.

“We’ve really been work-ing a lot with our outside hitters and right side hitters about hit-ting that ball that comes from the middle of the court, and when you do that over and over and over, it wears on your body and your jump, and it’s probably the hardest thing on your body to do is to go and get a bad set and hit it aggressively,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Maybe we’ve been doing that too much, maybe we need to back off of that a little bit and just back off our jumps in general.”

Iowa State takes on Baylor at the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas, at 7 p.m. on Saturday.
