Increased enrollment and decreased revenue have con-spired to force CyRide to look to the city of Ames, Iowa State and the Government of the Student Body for budget solutions.
The shortfall is due to a change in federal law declaring how money for public transporta-tion is allocated.
“The earmarks are now gone,” said Sheri Kyras, transit di-rector for city of Ames. “We have a new transportation bill that does not have any discretionary money for us.”
CyRide received around $4 million in federal operating as-sistance between the 2013 and 2014 fiscal years, Kyras said. The funding was governed by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Transportation Equity Act.
The act was signed into law in 2005 and provided funds for pub-lic ground transportation until Congress replaced the law in 2012.
The current law, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act, has essentially phased out CyRide’s federal funding.
Although MAP-21 expires at the end of December, Kyras does not see funding procedures changing anytime soon. The pre-vious legislation was extended by Congress 10 times before it was replaced.
“I’m assuming there will be another extention of MAP-21 [in December],” Kyras said.
In 2013, CyRide received $3.49 million from GSB and $1.45 from a tax levy on the city of Ames. Kyras said the Ames Transit Board reviews the CyRide budget each fall.
“We give them the current level of service [cost] at next year’s prices,” Kyras said. “We give them options to make the system bet-ter, then they decide which sce-nario they want to fund.”
The Ames Transit Board also met with representatives from Iowa State and the GSB on Aug. 4 to discuss the problem.
“We’re working with those representatives to discuss creative solutions,” said Hillary Kletscher, president of GSB. “There is some conversation about bus routes, the number of buses and about
future expansion.”Official proposals have not
yet been made by Iowa State, GSB or the transit board, but Kletscher is recommending a student fee increase to keep up with demand.
“Not by a substantial amount, but really more for an inflationary amount,” she said.
The swelling concern is also attributed to the growing demand for CyRide services due to a larger student body. Iowa State is ex-pected to announce enrollment has climbed to over 34,000 stu-dents when the official numbers are released next week.
“At a time when federal dol-lars are being cut back, our rid-ership had grown dramatically,” Kyras said. “We saw a 12.3 percent increase last year alone.”
The 12 percent increase rep-resents 725,000 more rides pro-vided in 2013 than the previous year. Kyras expects an increase of 250,00 to 300,000 more rides in 2014.
CyRide has made efforts this year to deal with the demand and to combat overcrowded or delayed service. Ten used buses were purchased this year from the St. Paul, Minn., transit system

Freshman Alexis Conaway jogged onto the volleyball court in Hilton Coliseum on Friday evening, taking the last few steps of a journey to Iowa State that was two years in the making.
“I decided to come here two years ago and from then on I’ve just been waiting and watching,” Conaway said. “I’ve waited so long and now I’m here.”
ISU head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch and her staff took notice of Conaway and be-gan recruiting her early in her high school career at MOC-Floyd Valley in Orange City, Iowa.
Conaway was one of the best female athletes in Iowa through-out her high school career, win-ning state titles in volleyball and track as well as first-team all-state honors in volleyball and basket-ball among other accolades.
Conaway said that after her recruitment began, she became an avid ISU volleyball fan, travel-ing roughly three hours each way on numerous occasions to spec-tate and to dream.
“I had been in the stands the last couple of years watching and hoping and dreaming and wait-ing,” Conaway said. “When that moment finally came, it was so cool. I loved it.”
Conaway said one of the best parts about the experience was interacting with the crowd, which numbered more than 2,700 people.
“It was a bit of a mental over-load,” Conaway said. “There are
so many things going on but ulti-mately when you get on the court everything kind of melts away and you zone in on the game.”
Focusing through the in-tensity and enormity of such an important moment in her life was crucial for Conaway as she has been asked to contribute immediately and expectations for her are high among fans and coaches.
“Conaway is a fantastic ath-lete who is still figuring some things out,” Johnson-Lynch said. “But she can do some things physically that few people can do.”
Conaway was not the only freshman contributor making her debut in the team’s home opener against the then No. 3 Stanford, which is currently list-ed as No. 2 in the country.
Monique Harris also saw ac-tion in her first ever regular sea-son match as a Cyclone and talk-ed about the day leading up to it.
“That day going to school I was really nervous,” Harris said. “It was the most nervous I’ve ever been for anything before in my life.”
Harris said that the routine of the locker room and interact-ing with her teammates helped to calm her down, but the emo-tion came flooding back as soon as she hit the court for warm ups.
“I felt a rush seeing all the people standing up and cheering as [I] ran out,” Harris said. “The support you get and the excite-ment they have to see you is re-ally cool.”
Like Conaway, Harris said that once the match began she
was not really thinking anything except about how to contribute as effectively and efficiently as she could.
The young ISU team strug-gled in its first contest without former libero and leader Kristen Hahn but had moments of bril-liance, the most evident of which came in a multi-point run in
the second set after Stanford trounced Iowa State through the first half of the match.
The Cyclones dug out their most productive showing in the third and final set of the night but still came up short, losing 25-19.
Ultimately, Iowa State fell 3-0 to one of the best teams in the country, but Harris said the
experience was memorable and meaningful all the same.
“It might not be the outcome we wanted, but it was nice getting that game out of the way,” Harris said. “It was great ... playing in front of people who really care about you and doing what you love to do in a great atmosphere with a bunch of great fans.”
Conaway and Harris make hopes a reality

GSB denies bike share prototype programBy [email protected]
CYRIDE
Whether or not hundreds of bikes would be added to the traffic on campus as part of the GSB bike share program was the main topic of Wednesday’s Government of the Student Body meeting.
The Senate debated a bill that would provide additional money to fund the bike share prototype program that would allow the development of bike prototypes.
The Senate considered fund-ing an additional $7,477.39 to the almost $5,500 already spent funding the project. As it stands, a class devoted to developing prototypes of the bike share pro-gram allows industrial, mechani-cal and electrical engineering students to have hands-on train-ing on developing prototypes.
Community and regional planning students also work in the class to determine whether or not the university and the city can support the program.
Senators’ main concerns centered on the idea that the funding for the program has been rushed. Many called for more research on whether or not stu-dents would use the program and if the university, with its existing mass of students, could support the extra traffic.
GSB President Hillary Kletscher assured senators that university administrators and Ames city officials will be doing their own studies on whether or not the university and city can sustain a bike project.
“Don’t let that hold you back from funding a project that a lot of students are invested in,” said Kletscher about the infrastruc-ture. “Don’t let that hold you back from funding a project that would be very unique for the uni-versity. Why not try it?”
Despite Kletscher’s appeal to the Senate, the bill failed to pass and might be discussed again next semester.

NEWS 3Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014
Students host and at-tend parties every week-end, but there are a few things to keep in mind when hosting a party, po-lice say.
In 2011, the Ames Police Department formed the Safe Neighborhoods Team in order to handle any problems that arise at the neighborhood level.
One goal of the team was to educate students, businesses and Ames resi-dents about the proper way to go about throwing a party.
“We’re problem-ori-ented, so if there’s a prob-lem in a neighborhood, we’re the ones that go deal with it,” said Mike Arkovich, Safe Neighborhoods Team sergeant. “We also do a lot of alcohol enforce-ment in the bars and in Campustown.”
Ames Police spends a lot of time in the fall and spring hosting events to educate the general pub-lic about what can and can’t be done when host-ing a party with alcohol involved. Members of the police department also talk with bar owners and staff to teach them the proper way to check IDs and spot fakes.
The main purpose of events like these is not to scare people away from hosting a party but more to make sure they’re do-
ing it without upsetting the people around them. The Safe Neighborhoods Team often gets involved with the party scene when noise complaints or anony-mous phone calls are re-ceived from disgruntled neighbors.
“It’s okay to have a good time, just don’t piss off your neighbors,” Arkovich said. “A lot of times, [the neighbors] don’t want to deal with confrontation, so they’ll turn in a party through an anonymous phone call.”
Arkovich says that hosting a party can be harmless if done right, but things can easily get out of hand. Officers frequently patrol busy areas on week-ends but won’t intervene unless a party appears to be out of hand.
“If there are a lot of people spilling out into the sidewalk, if the music is over the sound ordinance or if there’s a lot of litter on the ground, that kind of stuff will make us go and talk to whoever lives there,” Arkovich said. “If you’re hosting, you’re responsible for the people you have over and for controlling those people.”
If you are hosting a party, keep in mind that your guests are your re-sponsibility and anything they do can be partially blamed on you, Arkovich said. It’s easier to control your guests if you control how many people you let
in.“Don’t have an open
party,” said Anthony Greiter, officer in the ISU Police Department. “Allow entrance by invite only so the party size remains rea-sonable and manageable.”
Greiter said that if your party gets out of hand, you can always call the police to break up the party and get guests out of your house.
It’s also a good idea to stay sober if you’re host-ing so that you’re aware of what’s going on and can co-operate with police if need be.
“If you take the initia-tive to call the police and say your party got out of hand, we’re happy to go and break up those parties,” Arkovich said. “Sometimes we won’t write a citation;
sometimes we will. If we find major violations and a lot of them, even if they call their own party in, we may write them a ticket.”
Both Greiter and Arkovich said that if the po-lice have to break up a party, the main thing they’re look-ing for is cooperation from the host. Taking responsi-bility for guests and main-taining as much control as
possible will make things go a lot more smoothly for everyone.
When it comes to host-ing a party, just use com-mon sense. Keep the guests under control and make sure to handle any prob-lems in the best way pos-sible. Be smart and under-stand that what happens at your party is your responsi-bility, they said.
How to throw a safe partyBy [email protected]
Meredith Kestel/Iowa State DailyAmes and ISU police have some heplful tips on how to go about having a safe party. They suggest that the host stays sober so he or she can be aware of what is going on at all times. They also advise not having an open party. This helps to limit the number of guests so it doesn’t get out of hand.
this year, but only eight will be added to the fleet. The other two are being “can-nibalized for parts,” Kyras said. Four of the buses are currently operational with a fifth scheduled to come on-line next week.
According to CyrRide’s website, the current fleet consists of 93 buses, 4 ad-ministration vehicles and two trucks.
“Our plan is to pur-chase five to ten used buses every year to expand and to replace vehicles as we have to,” she said.
CyRide is also continu-ing to look for qualified op-
erators even though 35 new drivers were hired over the summer.
“Our drivers are having to put in a lot of overtime right now just to keep the system going,” Kyras said.
Ten service-hours per week have also been added and more buses have been allocated to the busiest routes, but students have noticed buses are still crowded.
Matt Mason, junior in kinesiology and health, said he rides the buses to and from school everyday.
“They’re pretty full,” Mason said. “If the prices go up drastically, then I’d be pretty upset.”
Kletscher echoed Mason’s sentiment about overcrowding on the buses.
“I think [the over-crowding] is something that any student could attest to simply by walking around campus,” Kletscher said.
All parties said they must work together to pro-vide the best service, but it may be a long process.
“We are having those conversations together,” Kletcher said. “But the progress is sometimes slow because the investment that needs to be made is so large. Coming to a consen-sus and finding a solution is a process that takes some time.”
CYRIDE p1
Blake Lanser/Iowa State DailyCyRide has had increases in its ridership and is having issues accommodating the number of students that are boarding its busses. CyRide is working to adapt to the increasing student population with a limited budget.
A night out in Campustown could end up costing a student $10,000.
ISU police officers Zach Deutmeyer and Julian Loera shared this statistic and more with Maple Hall residents Wednesday night at “Doughnuts with the Cops.”
Several boxes of doughnuts and coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts emptied as roughly 30 students gathered in the Maple Hall lounge for an op-portunity to interact with Department of Residence liaison officers and learn more about alcohol awareness.
Deutmeyer, who has been a police officer for three years, said this was one of several outreach programs they have at each dorm.
“When people see us on the streets, they usually have a negative interaction with us,” Deutmeyer said. “We want to come out and do these types of programs to educate people and to let them ask us questions and have a positive in-teraction with us. We can joke around with them, answer some questions that they have and dispel some myths in a controlled environment.”
Deutmeyer discussed common alcohol-related offenses, including charges for possession of alcohol under the legal age, public intoxication and operating while intoxicated as well as the repercussions associ-ated with each.
With public intoxica-
tion, Deutmeyer said that he and the other officers look at people as being a danger to themselves, to others and to property. He said that for each person, the level of tolerance can be different and that offi-cers assess each situation on a case-by-case basis.
“We try to be reason-able in everything that we do,” Deutmeyer said. “We don’t necessarily want to arrest anyone … There’s a lot of paperwork that goes into making an arrest. I’d rather send you guys home.”
Deutmeyer also shared the officers’ responsibility to reduce the liability of the police department and the university.
“We don’t want some-one going and dying be-cause we decided we’re go-ing to try and let them walk home,” Deutmeyer said. “I would much rather arrest you for the night and you be mad at me than have you go and die.”
Deutmeyer has dealt with such situations.
“I’ve had to deal with dead bodies,” he said. “It’s not the fun part of my job. The fun part is to come here and try to educate you guys.”
Andrea Kastorff, se-nior in kinesiology and health, has been a commu-nity adviser for three years and said she sees the im-mense value in educational programs.
“It’s a great chance for residents to get to see the police in a positive light and for them to know that the police are here to look out for them,” Kastorff said. “A lot of the residents haven’t been around alco-
hol in this capacity before ... So if we can educate them on safe practices for alcohol, then they’re more likely to succeed here and that’s what we want.”
Sophomores Jason Wingert and Chance Gustafson said they were most surprised to learn that cops won’t necessarily ar-rest each person they stop on the street for drinking.
“I was surprised that they said that if you were in control, they would let you go on your way,” said Wingert.
Gustafson agreed.“After learning more
about all of the facts they shared, I’ll probably be more careful when I go out,” Gustafson said.
Deutmeyer also told the students the impor-tance of going out with a good group of friends.
“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve came up to somebody and they’re passed out on an elevator, in a creek, in the middle of the hallway, where their friends just left them,” Deutmeyer said. “Go out, have fun, but be smart. Have friends that will be brave enough to say you’ve had enough.”
Melissa Hulme, Maple Hall director, said they like to bring in these types of educational programs to help students make more informed decisions.
“We think it’s impor-tant because our students are at a point where they’re experimenting,” Hulme said. “We know that they’re going to make choices about alcohol and we want to give them information to help them make informed decisions.”

IOWA STATE DAILY
OPINION Thursday, Sept. 4, 20144
Close your eyes, take a deep breath and count to five.
Alright. Let’s move on.This is exactly what the occupants
of Iowa State need to do. As we’ve the second week of school, campus is in a flurry. Pedestrians are running, bicy-clists are biking and the administration are scheduling meeting after meeting.
To take a line from the 1994 film “Shawshank Redemption,” “The world went and got itself in a big, damn hur-ry.” Now that school is in full swing, it’s important to take a moment for ourselves.
We need to breathe or we’re go-ing to burn ourselves out by the end of September. This isn’t a call to halt the rising enrollment and this isn’t a call to be safe on campus. It’s a call to relax and take in what’s around you.
StudentsWhen heading to class or across
campus, no matter what your mode of transportation is, give yourself some extra time. Get off your phones and be aware. You don’t have to hone in on your destination and be as alert as a Navy SEAL, but it will make your and others’ commutes a lot easier. Take time to smell the flowers on campus. You’re at one of the most beautiful uni-versities in the country, so appreciate it.
It’s not always possible to saunter between classes when traveling from Carver Hall to Lagomarcino Hall. That’s understandable. But if you take time to breathe in the smells of Iowa State, you’ll find yourself in a calmer place.
Professors, lecturers and educatorsWhen you walk into that lecture
hall everyday, packed with 300 or more students, remember why you’re here. Contrary to what some students may think, you’re here to make a difference and impact the learners in your class-room. Whether that’s 18 students or 180, you’re making a difference.
Be patient with those hustling from the other side of campus to your classroom. While it isn’t always the case, most students are doing their very best to get to class on time. You’ve seen the sidewalks and made some of the same commutes as us, so you know what it’s like.
AdministrationWhile you may not be taking the
same tests as us or grading the same papers as the educators you hire, you are doing some intense work to im-prove the ISU student experience. While some may not see it in your eyes, continue to work toward the goals you have set.
In five, 10 or 20 years, it won’t be about the money you made but the ex-ample you set. Help the students follow in the right footsteps by making deci-sions based upon your knowledge of the community.
This isn’t a call for reform or an expression of outrage. It’s a call to stop being so consumed in the every-day goals and items and take a small moment for yourself. We all have a long year ahead of us and if we get too wound up now, the energy will be all gone before Thanksgiving.
This is a call to you, Iowa State. Take a breath, count to five and let’s get to work.

Intervention is humanitarian
Last week, I happened upon a conversation between two individuals of millennial stock regarding the ongoing crisis in Iraq. Both agreed that it was high time we call our in-volvement in that country a fail-ure, and any further attempts to keep our “nation building” efforts alive were futile. They displayed much of the idle pro-test of the past decade when our armed forces were guaranteeing the welfare of the Iraqi people after the fall of Saddam Hussein. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat as this conversation pro-gressed from bad to worse.
With Amnesty International accusing the Islamic State group of ethnic cleansing and with hundreds of Shiites and Yazidis killed every day, how could someone possibly take up the position that the United States should not intervene?
It is here that I am remind-ed of one of my favorite essays regarding the topic of humani-tarian intervention — written, unsurprisingly, by my favorite writer, Christopher Hitchens. The essay is titled “The Case for Humanitarian Intervention,” and I’d urge those of the isola-tionist breed to peruse it.
Hitchens reminds us of a time when the United States was the “recipient, not the do-nor, of humanitarian solidarity.” Indeed, there are many instanc-es when — in her fledgling state — the Land of the Free required the aid of foreigners. Even in weakness, the United States still pondered intervention in places such as Greece to guar-antee the same freedoms upon which it was founded. Though it is common among isolationists to quote John Quincy Adams — “She goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy” — Adams said this in a time when the United States could not af-ford to aid other countries in its
fight for liberty.Nowadays, we do have the
resources to guarantee such rights. It is a shame that many people, especially those of my own party, think that the United States should never utilize these resources. Yes, empire building is wrong and the United States has been guilty of this crime before. However, there is a dif-ference between those surrep-titious intentions and genuine efforts to help people, which oftentimes require military ac-tion. It saddens me to see people of my party failing to recognize this distinction.
Those who think the United States couldn’t possibly be a moral arbiter — as it is collo-quially phrased, “policing the world” — are, to be blunt, dead wrong. After all, if the U.S. did not have the authority and the moral obligation to intervene in the Rwandan genocide, then when and where would such an action be permitted? The fact that the Clinton administration simply shrugged off the mur-der of hundreds of thousands of Tutsis is not only reprehen-sible but also shameful. It yields the impression of the United States as callous, capricious and careless.
The same goes to all of you who, in the midst of mass mur-der, think, “Not our problem,” while basking in the pride of our heroism in rescuing Europe from that genocidal megaloma-niac Adolf Hitler.
For the moment, let’s fo-cus on the Kurds, who are now fighting for their lives against the forces of the Islamic State group. People of my generation who view our efforts to assist the Kurds as futile have failed to re-call the horrible atrocities com-mitted against those people.
In 1989, for instance, Saddam Hussein’s Ba’athist gov-ernment conducted a genocidal campaign against the Kurdish people. We are quickly re-minded of the attack at Halabja, which bears recognition as the
largest chemical weapons attack against a civilian population in history. Wasn’t the overthrow of Saddam Hussein’s regime, then, a deliverance? Disregarding the “weapons of mass destruction” argument, Saddam Hussein committed crimes against hu-manity and it was right of the United States to take him down.
The United States, there-fore, has the duty to act in con-cert with other nations to purge the world of monsters such as Slobodan Milosevic, the Hutu extremists, and Bashar al-Assad. Or are we to let some practitio-ners of genocide a free pass and others not?
The Islamic State brigades are no different. They actively engage in the mass killings of Iraqi civilians — as it has now been reported, “ethnic cleans-ing.” I have heard some of my friends on the left call for mili-tary action against the Islamic State group while condemning the Iraq War. But its all the same to me — guaranteeing the safety and freedom of the Kurdish and Iraqi people. Unfortunately, this requires military action.
For the accusers of war-mongering, though, I yield to Hitchens, who recognized in his essay that “war and con-flict are absolutely needful en-gines for progress and that ar-guments about human rights, humanitarian intervention and the evolution of international laws and standards are all, in the last resort, part of a clash over what constitutes civilization, if not invariably a clash between civilizations.”
Still, faced with the evi-dence, you isolationists will remain covering your ears and closing your eyes, hoping the killing will be over soon and you won’t have to listen to the cries for help. Fine. Those of us who favor humanitarian interven-tion will pick up the standard you laid down and we won’t think twice whether or not we should purge the world of geno-cidal maniacs.
As an ISU alumna and Ames community member, I am very, very sad about the decision to cancel Veishea.
I’m sad that our youngest son, an ISU freshman, will not experience the positive oppor-tunities the true Veishea events provided over the decades.
I’m sad that potential stu-dents will no longer be inspired by the beauty of the campus in the spring and the accomplish-ments of the students and the university faculty and staff.
I’m sad that thousands of volunteer hours and fundrais-ing for needed scholarships will
no longer be shared or given.Nearly a century of tradi-
tion has just been thrown away. Something that connected all ISU graduates since the 1920s is now broken. It amazes me that a university and community so accomplished in so many dif-ferent areas really believed they did not have the capacity to hold students to a higher standard of behavior — a very sad commen-tary on so many different levels.
Veishea, at least in its origi-nal and intended form, made Iowa State unique and different in the spring. I guess it is OK to be just like every other school and only have spring break and finals to look forward to during the second semester.
My guess is the spring off-campus parties will still hap-
pen, but the positive activities like the parade, cherry pies, milking cows, teaching city kids what farmers do, racing cock-roaches, homemade ice cream, chemistry and physics shows, the Groove concerts, Stars over Veishea and department open houses — among many others — will be gone forever.
Maybe today’s students just aren’t ready for the responsibil-ity of hosting such a large event. I think they will miss the op-portunity to prove themselves ready.
I have been informed by President Steven Leath that my feelings about Veishea put me in a “small minority.” If that is true, then letting go of trea-sured ISU traditions is only just beginning.

The ISU volleyball team stumbled twice dur-ing its opening weekend but is focusing on keeping the losses in perspective as it looks toward the rest of the 2014 campaign.
The Cyclones pro-duced disappointing re-sults during the AVCA Showcase, falling 3-0 to both No. 3 Stanford and No. 13 Florida State, which this week are rated second and eighth in the nation, respectively.
“I asked the team not to be disheartened, even though it didn’t feel very good over the week-end,” said ISU head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “I know we’re talented and we’re going to get bet-ter. It’s important where we are in November and
December — not so much this time of year.”
The Cyclones face a different test this weekend
as they host the Iowa State Challenge, which will take place in Hilton Coliseum from Thursday through
Saturday.The competition is not
elite — Omaha, Northern Illinois and Tennessee
were all passed over for top-25 votes this week.
Iowa State will take to the court for its matches against its three opponents on three consecutive days.
Sophomore Ciara Capezio said that because of the tournament-style setting, fatigue will be an opponent as much as any of the teams the Cyclones are set to play.
“You’re going to be tired,” Capezio said. “Physically, you’re going to be exhausted and men-tally you’re going to be exhausted. But if you can mentally prepare yourself to be strong, that is all you need.”
Junior Mackenzie Bigbee took an optimistic view as she explained the flip side to the rigors of a condensed schedule and its utility in getting over a disheartening weekend.
“It’s definitely good,”
Bigbee said. “We should remember to hold on to the stuff we learned, but it will also be nice to have some-thing to focus on so we’re not just dwelling on [the losses].”
Johnson-Lynch said the team is still under con-struction in some ways as she experiments with dif-ferent strategic styles and lineups, trying to put the right players in the right places to optimize talent.
The Iowa State Challenge should be help-ful in that regard.
“We won’t be so con-cerned with what they’re doing,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I think if we execute well on our side, no mat-ter what they’re doing over there, I think we’ll be in good shape.”
The Cyclones will meet Omaha at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Hilton Coliseum.

SPORTS6 Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014
Colorado to Ames has not typically been thought of as a recruiting pipe-line for ISU athletics. Tony Minatta has changed that for the ISU soccer team.
Before signing on as an assistant coach three years ago, Minatta was the director of coaching for the Fort Collins Soccer Club. One of Minatta’s specialties was his ability to help his
athletes find college soccer opportunities.
When he became an assistant coach at Iowa State, he began recruit-ing his former players and other players from the area who he was familiar with, a recruiting tactic he plans to continue.
“I have a lot of relation-ships in Colorado with club coaches... and still have relationships with a lot of players I’ve coached at the younger levels that are still coming up,” Minatta said.
Minatta was so en-trenched in the Fort Collins Soccer Club program that the complex where they play is actually named after the Minatta family. Minatta’s father, who is a member of the Colorado
Youth Soccer Hall of Fame, also has ample experience at the youth level.
Minatta’s Colorado connections have paid off for the Cyclones, as six players on the 2014-15 roster are Colorado na-tives, including the team’s top returning goal scorer Koree Willer, and one of the team’s defensive anchors, Madi Ott.
Lindsey Hendon, Kourtney Camy, Haley Murphy, and Lauren Roeling also all hail from Colorado.
The player-coach rela-tionship between Minatta and the players he has coached since they were little kids is a unique one.
“For a lot of them, I’ve coached them since
they were 13, but I’ve also watched them play since they were 10 years old,” Minatta said. “So to see the progression and how they’ve developed has been fun to watch.”
The players also enjoy having him as their coach again. Comfortability is a big factor in recruiting, and having that prior relation-ship was a major reason some of the players decid-ed to come to Iowa State, Minatta said.
“Athletes want to go where they are comfortable and where they know they are going to get treated right and get developed as a player, and knowing me [from their youth career], they know thats going to happen here,” Minatta
said.Because Minatta has
such an extensive his-tory with some players, he knows their tendencies, what motivates them, and how to get the best out of the athletes.
“I think he knows us really well,” Roeling said. “He knows the potential we can play at. He’s tough on us, but its a good relation-ship because he does know us so well.”
Madi Ott, a sopho-more defender on the team, has become a defen-sive staple for the Cyclones the past two seasons. She said that without Minatta’s encouragement, she might not even be playing college soccer.
“I had Tony as a coach
when I was younger and he was always really influen-tial,” Ott said. “He was ac-tually probably the single person that encouraged me to play college soccer the most, so when I got the opportunity to come out [to Iowa State] and visit I was really interested.”
Colorado is becoming a big time recruiting area thanks to Minatta, which is something Minatta said could pay dividends for the program down the line.
“Its great opportu-nity because a lot of really quality players are going to look this way that really didn’t have an eye out here before, and we can get na-tional level type players to take a look at us,” Minatta said.
Before his days at Iowa State, Aaron Wimberly ran with a different starting quarterback. His name was Jake Waters.
On Saturday, both Waters and Wimberly will take the field together again. But instead of being on the same team, Waters will be leading No. 20 Kansas State.
Waters, who is now Kansas State’s starting quarterback, started his
college football career at Iowa Western Community College, as did Wimberly. The two became friends quickly, and the rest was history.
“We started click-ing as soon as we got in for training camp at Iowa Western, and from there it just took off,” Wimberly said. “We’re real close. His parents are like my second parents. I would go over to his house all the time, and his dad used to cook steaks for us.”
The former room-mates found success early
at the junior college level. In 2012, they helped lead Iowa Western to a national junior college title.
“Jake is a great quar-terback,” Wimberly said. “I think some schools over-looked him, but he’s really turned into a great player.”
During his final sea-son at Iowa Western, Waters threw for more than 3,500 yards and had 39 touchdowns. His play earned him a spot, not only as the starting quar-terback at Kansas State but in the national spotlight as well.
“He’s clearly the man and he showed that last Saturday,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads. “He’s a com-petitor and a playmaker. He’s also a very intelligent player, and you can tell that by talking to his for-mer teammates that are on our roster.”
Waters had a solid first season at Kansas State. Even though he shared the starting quarterback job, he threw for 18 touch-downs and nearly 2,500 yards.
So how do you stop a quarterback as talent-
ed as Waters? According to Cory Morrissey, who was also a member of the Iowa Western National Championship team with Waters and Wimberly, the key is to keep him contained.
“You have to keep him in between the tack-les. He’s a very fast guy,” Morrissey said. “He obvi-ously is one of the best quarterbacks in the Big 12, and the whole NCAA. He knows how to win. He’s won at the high school lev-el, at the junior college lev-el and he’s taking Kansas
State places now.”When the time comes
to take the field Saturday, both Wimberly and Morrissey are very excited to face their old teammate again and hope to show him what they’ve learned since their time together at Iowa Western.
“It’s going to be good,” Wimberly said. “He’s like one of my brothers, and it’s going to be good to showcase what I’ve got against him. I’ll probably send him a text before the game, give him a good luck.”

Paint Bash 2014, the first paint concert in Ames, will be happening Friday at 200 Stanton Ave. Paint Bash has the same concept as a color run, but instead of running, attendees will be blasted with paint dur-ing the concert.
Paint is shot off the stage while listening to a live deejay. The show starts at 8 p.m. and will end around midnight.
Seek Entertainment, a newly founded company made up of seven ISU stu-dents, is hosting the event. Its goal is to promote the Ames music scene as much as other college towns such as Iowa City.
“Our main goal is to promote the music cul-ture in Ames,” said Matt McDonald, senior in aerospace engineering and co-founder of Seek
Entertainment.Seattle native Instant
Party will deejay the show. He has been producing music for four years and even had one of his mixes played at Tomorrowland, an electronic dance music festival in Belgium.
“This guy is going places,” McDonald said. “There’s a lot of creativity that goes into deejaying.”
Many companies are sponsoring the event, in-cluding Rockstar Energy Drink, who will be sup-plying the show with 1,500 free cans of Rockstar.
Seek Entertainment has been working closely with City Hall and the Ames Police Department to make sure everything goes smoothly.
“The event will be well-staffed with secu-rity,” McDonald said. No alcohol will be allowed at the show.
Tickets are still avail-
able for the show, but more than 80 percent have been sold. Tickets are $20 ahead of time or $25 at the show if any are avail-able. VIP tickets are available for $50 and include a free shirt, the abil-ity to skip to the head of the line in the VIP fast lane and the chance to get onstage and shoot paint all over the crowd.
“Buy tickets soon-er rather than later,” McDonald said. “I would also recommend buying some cheap clothes.”
Seek Entertainment will very likely have at least one more event dur-ing this school year. If this paint bash goes well, there may be another event this spring.
It’s always hard to judge a show based on the pilot alone.
In some cases, a pi-lot can be pretty indica-tive of what the show will become.
The first episode of Fox’s “Dads” was one of the most insulting things I have seen on television in my life, and the rest of the episodes weren’t that different.
In the same vein, “Breaking Bad” had a phe-nomenal pilot and it con-tinued that success into its final season when it won five Emmys.
“A to Z,” NBC’s new rom-com/sitcom, does not fall into either camp.
Starring Ben Feldman of “Mad Men” and Cristin Milioti “How I Met Your Mother,” “A to Z” fol-lows the story of Andrew and Zelda during their eight month, three week, five day and one hour relationship.
Presumably, each epi-sode will be based around a different episode of the alphabet, the pilot being “A is for Acquaintances.” In addition to supporting players Henry Zebrowski and Lenora Crichlow, the series is narrated by Katey
Sagal.It makes sense that
this is the first television role Milioti took on after “How I Met Your Mother” because there are times in which Andrew feels like a poor man’s Ted Mosby.
After a predictable meet-cute in Andrew’s of-fice, Andrew spends most of the rest of the episode trying to convince Zelda that the two actually saw each other for the first time years ago at a con-cert and it’s destiny that they’re finally meeting. He actually even asks some of his co-workers, “Do you believe in the one?” which is directly lifted from Ted’s dialogue.
More “How I Met Your Mother” compari-sons abound due to the fact that the show itself is a gimmick.
As viewers, we know the relationship between Andrew and Zelda will only last eight months, three weeks, five days and one hour, but we don’t know what will happen at the end of that time. Will they break up? Will they get married? Will the writers be able to craft a satisfying answer for the audience?
That said, being com-pared to “How I Met Your Mother” is not a bad thing. In fact, Zelda also feels like
an extension of Milioti’s character from “How I Met Your Mother.” She’s quirky, she likes themed costume parties and she’s a lawyer who appreciates good puns.
In one memorable cutaway, she tells the jury that her clients — a trio of nuns — are innocent, say-ing the evidence is in black and white. Feldman’s great and all, but I believe it’ll be Milioti who is bring-ing in the audience.
Overall, I think this is a solid effort by NBC. The characters are likable enough for a first episode and that will only improve as the actors continue to grow more comfortable with each other.
The use of cutaways and Sagal’s voiceovers are currently working for the show and will contin-ue to do so if they aren’t overused.
I do hope the writ-ers tone down the sugary sweetness of the pilot, un-less they want the viewers to end up with cavities by the end of the episode run.
Bottom Line: If you liked “How I Met Your Mother,” give “A to Z” a chance.
“A to Z” premieres on NBC at 8:30 p.m. Oct. 2. The pilot is currently available on NBC’s web-site ahead of the premiere.
Since Stephens Auditorium announced its line up last spring for the 2014-15 school year, five new events have been added to the Performing Art Series.
Hermes String Quartet: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 2
Based out of Paris, the Hermes Quartet has been the winner of the 2012 Young Concert Artist Auditions in New York and has been complimented by the Washington Post as one of the “world-class quartets of our time.” This quartet plays classical mu-sic from famous compos-ers such as Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms.
Merle Haggard: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 6
Long-time country star Merle Haggard is known for his hits “Lonesome Fugitive,” “Hungry Eyes,” “Okie From Muskogee” and many others. Haggard is also a Grammy Award winner and is a Kennedy Center honoree. On this tour, Haggard is traveling with The Strangers, a road band who has won the Touring Band of the Year
Award from the Academy of Country Music count-less times.
Ryan Adams: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18
S i n g e r - s o n g w r i t e r Ryan Adams self-produced his latest album “1984” in his Pax-Am 7 series for this tour. This follows his previous Pax-Am 7 se-ries “Gimme Something Good.”
Ani DiFranco: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 21
Having produced more than 20 albums in 20 years, this self-proclaimed folksinger has covered more genres than her title suggests. Her music fea-tures soul, funk, jazz, elec-tronic music and spoken word. Her next album, “Allergic to Water,” will de-but this October.
Widespread Panic: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 29
Created at the University of Georgia in frontman John Bell’s dorm room, this band is a com-bination of blues, southern rock and funk. After its brief hiatus, its tour is back with singer-songwriter Gregg Allman and Dr. John.
Angela Ossian, direc-
tor of marketing at the Iowa State Center, said the newly added shows provide entertainment to those looking for some-thing in a setting other than a large arena.
“The new concerts that have recently been booked for October, such as Ryan Adams and Ani DeFranco, offer such great alternatives to the big are-na shows,” Ossian said.
Patti Cotter, devel-opment and sponsorship manager at the Iowa State Center, is more excited for the multi-day residen-cy performance Hermes String Quartet.
“I am especially pleased that we are host-ing Hermes String Quartet ... Oct. 2 as part of a multi-day residency,” Cotter said. “This young string quartet will play in multiple ven-ues in our community and we love to see the interac-tion of young musicians with audiences of all ages around the community in schools and other gather-ing places.”
Tickets for these shows or any other show at Stephens Auditorium can be bought online at ticketmaster or at the north entrance of Stephens Auditorium.

Horoscopes by Linda Black
Aries - 8(March 21-April 19) Talk is cheap. Take a long shot.
Communications could get difficult. You’ve already made the plan. Achieve a lofty goal and advance to the next level by taking direct action.
Taurus - 8(April 20-May 20)Completion fosters creativity. A new
journey beckons. Choose the direction that looks the most fun. Don’t get stuck trying to please everyone. Launch your adventure without fanfare.
Gemini - 7(May 21-June 20) Better leave some things unsaid. Have
important conversations another day, and avoid gossip altogether. Veto power could get exercised. Do your home bookkeeping, and handle pesky details.
Cancer - 8(June 21-July 22)Choose your battles carefully. Work out a
long-term issue with a partner through action rather than words. Postpone travel and new projects. Incorporate music or a fountain’s murmur into the background.
Leo - 9(July 23-Aug. 22) Find the sweet spot at work. Not everything
you try works. Provide excellent service for good pay. It could get intense... keep on your game. Gossip causes ruffled feathers, so avoid it.
Virgo - 7(Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Snooze a bit longer. Your credit is in good
shape. Don’t travel, or talk much about what’s going on. You already have most of what you need. Clean house, relax and play like a child.
Libra - 7(Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Listen, rather than talking. Handle
household chores. Study leads to discovery. Wait to see what develops before signing on. Don’t fall for a sob story. Achieve your goal with quiet action.
Scorpio - 7(Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Postpone travel. Unexpected loss could
change plans. Dip into savings as necessary. Do what you can to help. You can afford what’s needed. Share peaceful time with friends.
Sagittarius - 9(Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Don’t waste energy. A moment of
transformation could catch you by surprise. A career or status rise becomes suddenly available. Take action and avoid communication breakdown.
Capricorn - 9(Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Consider travel demands. Get rid of
excess baggage. Can you do your research from home? Imagination takes over. Don’t buy luxuries yet. Action persuades more than talk. Good news comes from far away.
Aquarius - 7(Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Postpone big meetings. Handle a
job you’ve been putting off. Quiet productivity gets farther than expected. Go around roadblocks. Make a key discovery. Work interferes with travel.
Pisces - 7(Feb. 19-March 20) It’s not a good time to travel. You never know
what you may catch. Friends have tons of ideas. Don’t do everything suggested, but take note. Bark if you must (or keep quiet). Love gives you strength.
