Overflow Thrift Store seems like any other consignment shop.
T h e r e a r e r a c k s and aisles of gently used cloth-ing at low prices.
Some pieces of furniture are price-marked against the wall. There’s a used book room off to one side.
Unlike the other other con-signment shops, Overflow, lo-cated at 202 Duff Ave., donates
part of its proceeds to ministries.A large cork board on the
wall in the middle of the store has the logos of global ministries and pictures of children, villages and tents in developing nations.
Tami Hicks pointed to two headshots of children smiling at the camera.
“These are just two of the orphans that we sponsor here,” Hicks said.

Hundreds of companies are on campus this week to meet with students looking for employment at three professional career fairs.
The Engineering, Business, Human Sciences and Liberal Arts and Sciences colleges’ career fairs will be taking place this week.
The Engineering Career Fair is from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday in Hilton Coliseum and Scheman Building.
The Business, Industry and Technology Career Fair is from noon to 6 p.m. Wednesday in Hil-ton Coliseum.
The People to People Career Fair, which is for the colleges of Human Sciences and Liberal Arts and Sciences, is from 1 to 5 p.m. Wednesday in the Scheman Build-ing.
“The career fair is a great net-working opportunity for getting
exposed to hundreds of potential employers in one place,” said Brandon Scott, graduate student in business administration. “It’s time efficient and worth it.”
Here are the details for each career fair:
Engineering Career FairThe fair will be from noon to
6 p.m. Tuesday at the Hilton Coli-seum and the Scheman Building
The Engineering Career Fair is the largest fair of the university with 344 companies coming to campus, said Kellie Mullaney, program assistant with Engineer-ing Career Services.
This year, there are lounges provided for all students to allow them to take a break and relax.
Peter Taylor, senior in me-chanical engineering, has been to about five engineering career fairs and received an internship from Centro Incorporated. He has also received networking contacts from Rockwell Collins.
“Going to the career fairs
constantly helps work off nerves as well as building confidence,” Taylor said.
Business, Industry and Technology Career FairThe fair will be from noon to
6 p.m. Wednesday at the Hilton Coliseum
There are about 175 com-panies attending the Business, Industry and Technology Career Fair.
The fair will also be hosting a leadership breakfast on Wednes-day morning for guest speakers, company recruiters, business stu-dents, faculty and staff. Students will have a chance to network with company recruiters before the fair.
Courtney Dewell, senior in accounting, plans on attending the career fair.
“This year is my year,” Dewell said. “This year I have more experi-ence and confidence and so I have a better chance at getting a job.”
People to People Career FairThe fair will be from 1 to 3
p.m. Wednesday at the Scheman Building
There are about 100 employ-ers attending the People to People Career Fair.
The increase in numbers of
employers and student attendance sets excitement for the students, said Loni Pringnitz, director of Col-lege of Human Sciences’ Career

The Drepung Loseling Mon-astery is visiting campus to build
a sand mandala. Its members will be placing sand and sell-ing various Buddhist pieces of literature and Tibetan souvenirs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Thursday in the Main Lounge of the Memorial Union.
Geshe Loden, spokesman for the monks, has been traveling

Since February, the group has constructed 19 mandalas.
This is not the first time Ames has hosted Tibetan monks. Three years ago, monks came and built another sand mandala. Thanks to the Multicultural Awareness com-

Iowa State DailyMike Bankers, a member of NORML ISU, holds up the club’s T-shirt during a 2012 meeting with university administration. The club is currently battling Iowa State over the use trademarked logos on T-shirts.
A “resistance to de-fendants’ motion to dis-miss” document filed by NORML ISU attorneys Monday claimed ISU of-ficials denied benefits to and restricted the speech o f s t u d e n t s b e c a u s e they disagreed with the group’s message.
The document ac-cused administrators of “shielding illegitimate restrictions on politi-cal speech by invoking
trademark principles.”The resistance to
the motion also claims NORML ISU was discrim-inated against after it was featured in a Des Moines Register article. The story featured a prominent photo of a student wear-ing a NORML ISU T-shirt, which had a cannabis leaf and Cy the mascot on it.
NORML ISU filed the lawsuit after it was de-nied permission to use ISU-trademarked logos on T-shirts.

MU celebrates birthday, milestones
Take a look at the Dai-ly’s story in the paper about the Memorial Union’s 86th birthday bash. After, go on-line or on the app to find more information on the history on the Memorial Union. Readers can find a list of major milestones in the Memorial Union’s his-tory.
The Memorial Union honors those who have served while still serving students today.
The Memorial Union had its 86th birthday Mon-day, serving free chili, cake and drinks in the Great Hall.
Doors opened at 5:30 p.m. and many of the seats were filled shortly after, causing the food service to expand into the overflow room.
The Memorial Union is a staple on Iowa State’s campus, providing a place for students and communi-ty members to get together.
S e r v i c e t o t h e s t u-dent body is the Memorial Union’s top priority, as it has has been ever since it was built in the early 1900s, said Kristin Erdman, mar-keting coordinator for the Memorial Union.
“We’re here to serve the students,” Erdman said.
Though the Memo-rial Union serves ISU stu-dents, it was built in honor of those who had given the ultimate sacrifice.
I n t h e e a r l y 1 9 2 0 s , students on campus saw a need for a memorial to honor those ISU students who served in World War I.
Students sought sup-port through their peers and alumni by asking for pledges.
About $1 million was raised by 1925, allowing for construction to begin. Ground was broken on April 26, 1927.
The Memorial Union had its grand opening a year later on Sept. 23.
At the time of open-ing, it housed a cafeteria, one floor of hotel rooms, meeting and office rooms, a beauty shop, barber shop, lounge, the Great Hall and its main purpose — Gold Star Hall.
Gold Star Hall serves as the north entrance to the Memorial Union, through which many students filter on a daily basis.
Chiseled in the stone walls of Gold Star Hall are the names of fallen veter-ans who at one point at-tended Iowa State.
“I think that students often forget that that the [Memorial Union] is a me-morial,” Erdman said. “So as you pass through the Gold Star Hall, you’re usu-ally running from class to class or to grab something to eat and you don’t always think like you’re actually walking through a physical memorial that was built to really remember the sol-diers who have given their lives over the years.”
Not all students know the Memorial Union is a living dedication to fallen veterans.
“ T o b e h o n e s t , w e came for the free food,” said Limay Vong, sopho-more in industrial design, when asked why she at-tended the birthday bash.
Once informed of the Memorial Union’s original purpose, she shared her thoughts on the students who served in the nation’s various wars and conflicts.
“I think it’s pretty im-
portant because they sacri-ficed their life for the rights that we have,” Vong said.
Since its grand open-ing, the Memorial Union has undergone 11 addi-tions, including the ad-dition of the South Ball-room, the Browsing Library and Chapel, the University Book Store, the Sun Room and parking ramp.
E a c h a d d i t i o n w a s made to adapt to the needs of the changing Iowa State community.
Today, it serves as a dining location, gathering space, office space, hotel and more for the current campus community.
In addition to Gold Star Hall, another service the Memorial Union pro-vides is a Veteran’s Lounge, a place for current veterans to gather.
Joshua Dawkins, soph-omore in mechanical engi-neering and veteran, visits the lounge nearly every day.
“ A n o r m a l s t u d e n t has a completely different outlook than what we do,” Dawkins said. “It’s nice to sit with other veterans and have that camaraderie that we have.”
Like many places in the Memorial Union, it’s a place to relax, but this one is special to current veterans.
“It gives me a place to decompress from the stressors of the college col-lective,” said Chris John-son, senior in psychology and veteran who served in Afghanistan.
“We’re used to a com-pletely different pace of life.”

When you take a look at our military, you most likely envision
them fighting for our coun-try. They’re in uniform, may-be holding an M-16, fighting the enemy. Now try to imag-ine them trying to fight an epidemic.
This week, President Barack Obama decided that he would be sending 3,000 t r o o p s o v e r s e a s t o h e l p stop the spreading Ebola virus. Ebola is passed along through direct contact of the bodily fluids from sick patients, which makes doc-tors and nurses very sus-ceptible to this virus. So far, the outbreak has killed 2,200 people in five West African countries, according to Fox News Channel.
Maybe we should take a closer look at what helping out West Africa will really entail.
Samantha Power, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has called an emer-gency meeting this Thursday to discuss the virus that could “set the countries of West Af-rica back a generation.” The emergency meeting is with the Security Council, which is responsible for the inter-national peace and security.
The Department of De-fense has now asked Con-gress for $500 million to fund this endeavor. Keep in mind that this money could be used for other current issues the United States is facing such as trying to send troops home from Afghanistan. The Islamic State group is an-other problem that Obama seems to be putting off and not being forthright about how he wants to handle that matter. Also, America is still in debt from our ongoing war with Afghanistan, so do-nating that much money to someone else’s country may not even be feasible.
The $500 million is said
to help with building 17 health care facilities, each of which will contain 100 beds, train 500 health care workers per week and pro-vide at home health care kits to thousands of homes — 50,000 will be delivered to Liberia this week. Also in Liberia, a military command center will be set up.
Experts have noted that even 3,000 troops will not make a dent with all the help that they need. This means that this affair will be on-going and that we will con-tinue to send more troops over. The United Nations has stated that it will take about $1 billion to contain the Ebola outbreak. Con-cerns are also being raised that our military, which is already stretched thin, is be-ing pulled away from crucial counterterrorism operations.
“This is an epidemic that is not just a threat to region-al security, it’s a potential threat to global security if these countries break down;
if their economies break down and people panic,” Obama said, according to Fox News.
There’s no doubt that this Ebola outbreak is an emergency that should be taken care of and maybe even with our help. The confus-ing factor is why he is more concerned about another countries welfare more so than our own.
Obama has stated that he will not send troops into a combat mission on the ground to fight the Islamic State group in Iraq. He’s ig-nored other issues the past few years that most would consider needed immediate attention.
Perhaps, if interest were shown in the United States and its security then we would feel more prepared and willing to help another nation. With the costs, man-power and troop-vulnera-bility to this Ebola virus, the president should think of a new game plan.
During the weekend, the ISU volleyball team knocked off the University of Iowa for the 10th consecutive time, giving Iowa State a dominant 7-0 lead in the Cy-Hawk Series. With that feat, it was the first time since the series was started in 2004 that a school has won the opening three sports.
ISU soccer kicked off the Cy-Hawk season with a 2-1 victory against Iowa, in front of a record-breaking crowd on Sept. 5. Iowa State bounced back after being down 1-0 early and gave the Cyclones a 2-0 lead in the Cy-Hawk Series. It was their first win against the Hawk-eyes since 2005.
Then there was the trip to Iowa City for the football team. Underdogs going into the marquee event in the Cy-Hawk Series, the Cy-clones again overcame the deficit and defeated the Hawkeyes 20-17. Iowa State claimed three points, as per Cy-Hawk Series rules, and gained a 5-0 lead in the series.
After the volleyball’s victory, Iowa State swept Iowa and now sits ahead 7-0 in the Cy-Hawk showdown. But as we dive deeper into the season, we mustn’t forget the remaining 10 events where Iowa State will challenge its in-state rival.
As ISU students, we have to take pride in all sporting and academic events. On May 8, the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series will tally its final event: academics. When graduation rates are released in October, both schools have a chance to earn one point. The school can earn that point by having the graduation rate of student-athletes exceed the overall student body graduation rate.
There’s more to the matchup than just football and basketball, though. Obviously, soccer started off strong in front of 2,090 fans who spent part of their Friday night as part of a record-breaking crowd. A trip to Peoria, Ill., to watch the cross country teams Nov. 14 might be hard for some fans and students, but it may be worth the trip. The women’s cross country team is ranked No. 9 in the nation and the men are No. 26.
The women’s basketball team approaches record-breaking numbers in terms of atten-dance each year. The men’s basketball team is poised for a deep run into the NCAA tourna-ment and plays with some of the best teams in the nation. The swimming and diving teams are coming out of their first match and victory against Iowa last year and will be looking to continue their success.
All teams at Iowa State possess poten-tial conference and national championship athletes. These athletes are building national championship-caliber teams at the university. As members of Iowa State, we need to invest our interest, time and knowledge into all of the sports, not just football and basketball.
There is more of which to be proud at Iowa State than a week of football frenzy and then forgetting about the rest of the Cy-Hawk Series. Invest your time in those other sports and aca-demics — be a part of that pride.
In our country’s current economic state, it is im-possible to live on $7.25
an hour. But raising the mini-mum wage to what is being proposed — $10.10 an hour — isn’t the answer that will solve all the issues Americans face financially.
Raising the minimum wage has the capabilities of causing economic turmoil and things like inflation and higher unemployment rates will occur.
Businesses big and small cannot afford to pay their employees $15 per hour. The businesses would be forced to cut back on not only em-ployee’s hours but also how many people they have on staff. In extreme cases, ma-chines may be used to take the place of employees re-questing higher pay.
It al l comes down to supply and demand. It just isn’t logical to demand what can’t be supplied. Businesses struggle as it is to make a profit with the economy in the state that it’s in. To re-quire that they also increase wages for their employees would suffocate the possi-bility of making any profit whatsoever.
In a hearing on the mini-mum wage conducted by the Senate committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pen-sions, Sen. Tom Harkin, who is also the committee chair-man, stated that while the overall benefits of increasing the minimum wage outweigh
the costs, it is still a question for policymakers to decide.
“ T h e C o n g r e s s i o n a l Budget Office’s report did point out, however, that the benefits and costs would be different for different groups of people,” Harkin said. “Most low-wage work-ers would receive higher pay that would increase their family’s income, and some of those families would see their income rise above the federal poverty threshold.”
He went on to say that s o m e j o b s f o r l o w - w a g e workers would probably be eliminated.
“Other people would be affected differently,” Harkin said. “For example, a few higher-wage workers would owe their jobs and increased earnings to the heightened demand for goods and ser-vices that would result from a minimum wage increase. In addition, business owners would see reductions in real, inflation-adjusted income — as would consumers, who would face higher prices as a result of the minimum-wage increase.”
In an assessment done in February on the effects of a minimum wage increase on employment and family income, the Congressional Budget Office stated if the proposed $10.10 an hour minimum wage went into effect, we would see a 90 per-cent chance that there would be a large reduction of more than 500,000 workers in the second half of 2016, relative to what would happen under current law.
Specifically, the office
estimates, “Once fully imple-mented in the second half of 2016, the $10.10 option would reduce total employ-ment by about 500,000 work-ers, or 0.3 percent ... As with any such estimates, however, the actual losses could be smaller or larger.”
There is also a second option for a minimum wage increase, a lower option that has a much more reasonable effect on the economy.
A $9.00 hourly minimum wage would only reduce em-ployment by about 100,000 employees, or by less than 0.1 percent, the office proj-ects. This is substantially less than the potential 500,000 employees if the wage were raised to $10.10 an hour.
“There is about a two-thirds chance that the effect would be in the range be-tween a very slight increase in employment and a re-duction in employment of 200,000 workers,” the office said about the $9.00 option.
There are findings that increasing the minimum wage reduces employment in two ways.
According to conven-tional economic analysis, the first way is that higher wages increase the cost of produc-ing goods and services to employers.
Inflation occurs and the employers pass on some of their increased costs to con-sumers in the form of higher prices. Those higher prices lead the consumers to pur-chase fewer products.
This causes a ripple ef-fect and the employers con-sequently produce fewer
goods and services. Because of this they hire fewer work-ers.
The second way is that a minimum-wage increase raises the cost of low-wage workers relative to other in-puts that employers use to produce goods and services, such as machines, technol-ogy and more productive higher-wage workers, ac-cording to conventional eco-nomic analysis.
As a result, employers respond by reducing their use of low-wage workers, substituting them for those other options.
Employers might also respond to an increase in the minimum wage in ways other than boosting prices or substituting other options for employees.
“ F o r e x a m p l e , t h e y might partly offset a mini-mum-wage increase by re-ducing other costs, including workers’ fringe benefits, such as health insurance or pen-sions, and job perks, such as free meals.
As a result, a higher min-imum wage might increase total compensation, which includes benefits and perks, less than it increased cash wages alone,” the office’s as-sessment stated.
So it only makes sense that raising the minimum wage to $10.10 would not only be detrimental to our economy but to large and small businesses as well.
In a more perfect and reasonable world, the more applicable solution would be to lower the cost of living, but that is next to impossible.

IOWA STATE DAILY
SPORTS6 Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2014
The last time Iowa State scored 60 points in a game was on Sept. 20, 1986, a 64-9 win against Indiana State. None of the players taking the field against the Baylor Bears Saturday had been born yet.
N o . 7 B a y l o r ( 3 - 0 , 0-0 Big 12) has put up 60 points eight times in its last 16 games. Iowa State has scored 60 points only nine times in its 1,170-game his-tory.
How many points does head coach Paul Rhoads think his team needs to score to win?
“Oh, 72,” Rhoads said with a smile.
R h o a d s w a s j o k i n g about losing last season’s battle 71-7, but he wasn’t j o k i n g a b o u t s c o r i n g . Rhoads called Baylor quar-terback Bryce Petty his Heis-man front-runner and he leads the No. 1 offense in the nation with 59.3 points per game.
Though the old saying is “the best offense is a good defense,” defense won’t win the game against a team like Baylor. The offense hopes to flip the cliche.
“You want to try to get their offense off the field as long as you can,” said ISU quarterback Sam Richard-son. “Putting up points is the main thing.”
The Cyclones could not do either of those things in last season’s 71-7 thrashing in Waco, Texas. Keeping the Bears’ offense off the field seemed impossible as nine of the Cyclones’ 16 drives lasted less than two minutes. To make matters worse, the Cyclones turned only one drive into points.
“That’s kind of one of those that you burn the tape and move on from,” said center Tom Farniok. “We’ve got a new staff and pretty much a new team, so we are totally different [than last season].”
With a new staff comes a new offensive system, which has improved ev-
ery week after a rocky start. Since finding their stride against Kansas State, the Cyclones have engineered five drives of four minutes or longer, scoring on three of them.
But the Bears don’t just put up points because they need to outscore the other team — their defense is plenty impressive on its own. Baylor currently ranks No. 3 in the nation in scor-ing defense, only allowing 9.0 points per game.
“They play with con-fidence,” Richardson said. “It’s not difficult to do [with them] being up in the game so much.”
If the Cyclones can keep the Baylor offense off the field and strike first, maybe that confidence takes a hit. With a week to rest and a night game at Jack Trice Stadium that will be nationally televised on Fox, the Cyclones aren’t short on confidence themselves.
And who knows what ISU offensive coordina-tor Mark Mangino has up his sleeve? After showing more and more comfort with the playbook in the first three weeks of the season, it wouldn’t be surprising to see some new offensive plays after having two weeks to prepare for Baylor.
With the early betting lines for the game giving the Bears a 23.5-point edge, some Cyclones are remind-ed of another high-powered offense that visited Ames as 27-point favorites.
“It’s pretty much the exact same as Oklahoma State [in 2011]. It’s just the beginning of the year in-stead of the end,” Farniok said. “It’s a huge game, huge opportunity.”
During the 2011 upset win, the Cyclones won the time of possession battle with 35 minutes to the Cow-boy’s 25 minutes and forced two more turnovers than the Cowboys. They didn’t need to score 60 points to win because they controlled the game through the offense and held strong defensively.
While asking for history to repeat itself is asking for a lot, ISU players are con-fident.
“It’s a night game at Jack Trice Stadium against a top 10 opponent,” Rich-ardson said. “It doesn’t get any better.”
After starting out the season as a guard, commu-nity college transfer Wen-dell Taiese made the move to left tackle in the most recent depth chart released by the ISU football team.
Taiese, who trans-ferred to Iowa State in the offseason from Laney Col-lege in Oakland, Calif., has yet to play in a game this season. However, this move is one that coaches feel will benefit the offensive line.
“We had to move for depth reasons to give us two solid guards and tack-les,” said head coach Paul Rhoads. “Certainly when he came in, we tried figure out what was going to be his best spot. We settled on
guard, but he easily could have been a tackle from day one.”
Along with Taiese’s move, lineman Jacob Gan-non has rejoined the team and is listed as the second tackle behind redshirt freshman Jake Campos.
Gannon, who left the team nearly two weeks ago due to a personal health issue, rejoined the team last week. Rhoads would only say a few words to say about Gannon on Monday, however.
“Jacob Gannon will be ready to play, yes.” Rhoads said.
Whether that means Gannon will enter the game Saturday, fans will have to wait and see.
Campos, originally from Des Moines, got his first start against Kansas State in week two after Gan-non left the team. Campos stepped in and did every-thing that was asked of him, according to coaches.
“He really competed hard as a redshirt fresh-
man,” Rhoads said after the Kansas State game. “He was going against one of the best in the Big 12 and he never backed down from that challenge. He improved from the begin-ning of the game to the end and never stopped com-peting through the whole process.”
Campos’ play even im-pressed fellow player Allen Lazard, who also got his first career start against Kansas State.
“I think Campos did a phenomenal job too,” Laz-ard said following the game. “He worked his butt off all game. From what I heard and from watching down the field, he did a great job out there.”
First year offensive line coach Brandon Blaney has made it his focus to get the line to work together this year. Center Tom Farniok said players on the offensive line have seemed to start to grasp that concept, too.
Farniok noted that he first saw the line really play-
ing together during the sec-ond half of the Iowa game two weeks ago, something that he thinks was a big part of the win.
“No one was like, ‘I’m playing good. I don’t need to change anything,’” Far-niok said. “At the Iowa game, we just knew what we needed to do and that’s what we did. I think it was definitely shown there what we can do as a line.”
And when they take on Baylor on Saturday, one of the biggest challenges will come from the Baylor defensive line, one of the best in the Big 12. ISU quar-terback Sam Richardson knows that the line has a big challenge ahead of it but feels confident that it can get the job done.
“There are definitely some big guys up front,” Richardson said of the Bay-lor defensive line. “It will be a great opportunity for our line to kind of prove them-selves. It’s a very confident defense, and one that will give us a test on Saturday.”
A f t e r n a m i n g M i k e Dopko the captain for the 2014-15 season, Cyclone Hockey announced Sept.
15 that seniors Nate Percy, Trevor Lloyd and Antti Hel-anto will be joining Dopko as the assistant captains for the season. They were voted assistant captains by their fellow teammates.
While the main role for the assistant captains will be to carry messages from the coaches to the players, each captain has their own unique role on the team.
“I’m glad that the play-ers and coaches look at me to be a leader and vote me to be here,” Helanto said. “It’s an honor but it comes with responsibility.”
Helanto played in all 50 games for the Cyclones last year. He tallied 22 points — six goals, 16 assists — and picked up a +23 plus/minus goal rating, good for fourth on the team.
Helanto said that his role is not only to lead by example on the ice but also model how players should conduct themselves off the ice.
Percy will serve as the vocal leader of the three assistant captains, known around the team as the guy who can fire everyone up.
“I want to be the vocal leader on the bench during games and in between each period.” Percy said. “I want to lead the younger guys for the future years and keep the winning ways going.”
Percy comes off a ju-nior season with 12 goals and 19 assists. He picked up some accolades last week when he was named Cy-clone Hockey’s player of the week. He scored two goals and tacked on an assist in
the North Iowa Bulls series on Sept. 12 and 13.
Percy will try to take what he learned last year under the wing of 2013-14 captain Mark Huber and as-sistant captains Matt Ben-nett, Chris Cucullu and Jon Feavel.
“It is a tremendous h o n o r , ” P e r c y s a i d . “ I learned a lot from [the] cap-tains last year; they were good leaders for us and paved the way for this year’s captains. We have a great group of players to lead.”
Trevor Lloyd comes in after having worked his way onto the first few lines. In his freshman year of Cy-clone Hockey, Lloyd played in 26 of the 42 games played that year.
H e i m p r e s s e d t h e coaches in those 26 games as his playing time jumped to 42 of 46 games in 2012-13.
L a s t s e a s o n L l o y d scored 13 goals, third best on the team, to go along with 16 assists.
Having worked his way into the starting lineup over his four years at Iowa State, his work ethic is something he wants to pass down with his newfound role.
“I want the players to take my example and work hard at every practice and every shift on the ice,” Lloyd said. “I have the experience that I can try to pass down to the younger guys.”
The Cyclones will take on HC Harbin from China on Saturday and Sunday at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena. Both games start at 7:30 p.m.

“Project Runway” is a well-known TV show that is famous for it’s compet-ing designers who create a garment within a restricted amount of time.
Iowa State’s Student Union Board hosted its own 10th annual “Project Run-way” fashion show compe-tition Sunday.
This year was the sev-enth year with a celebrity guest judge. This year’s judge was Katelyn Pankoke, a contestant seen on sea-sons 11 and 12 of “Project Runway.”
Deanna Le, junior in event management and public relations, is the cur-rent special events director of SUB, the event host.
Le said that this would be her first time managing an event like this. She said there were many challenges to planning and executing the competition.
“Planning is definitely hard and there’s a lot that comes with it, like having to be ready for things that go wrong and meeting with different types of people,” Le said. “They have the fashion show in the spring, but we thought it would be fun to have something in the fall.”
Le said she hoped to gain a lot of experience from the event, and so far believes that she has gained a lot of valuable skills.
“I just really wanted to know what it’s like to work in a different type of event,” Le said. “I usually work with performers and instead this time it’s actual students and they’re participating and competing.”
Kiana Roppe, senior in journalism and mass com-
munication and apparel, merchandising and design, competed for her fourth year. She shared some of her first experiences with the annual competition.
“When I was a fresh-man, my roommate and I heard about it,” Roppe said. “We decided to put up a group and decided last minute.”
Alana Barnett, senior in apparel, merchandising and design, competed for her third year and said she started because of Roppe’s recommendation of the competition.
“It was different [than the first year] because, in-stead of making something from scratch, we had to deconstruct something, then reconstruct it,” Bar-nett said. “But it was a lot of fun and I kept wanting to go.”
Le shared how this year’s competition is for-matted differently than past competitions.
“In the past, they did it all in one day. The work day and the fashion show, so that was a little crazy,” Le said. “We thought that if we broke it up in two days, now we have the work day on Sunday and fashion show Friday, then it must be a little better.”
Roppe explained how the design process works when students are in teams instead of working indi-vidually, which is the au-thentic “Project Runway” experience.
“Somehow it real ly works out when you’re in the moment. The night be-fore we pick the one thing that we want go with,” Roppe said. “So then we all go in and just whoever is the strongest at something, they tend to take over.”
Barnett said group
members who have dif-ferent styles can mix well during the competition to create a well-designed product.
“We see different per-spectives,” Barnett said. “We get a garment that’s a mix of different styles in-stead of it being just like all flirty and girly or all stream-line and masculine.”
Roppe said that the process of design is planned out the night before. Each team member has a couple of hours to think of ideas. When the group members come together, each would pitch his or her ideas and the best idea would be ex-ecuted.
The day of the compe-tition is a rush of adrena-line, and Roppe said that competitors are expected to work long hours, starting at 8 a.m. The competition starts off by competitors running for fabric.
“Everyone is in a frenzy grabbing pieces,” Roppe said. “You bring them back to your table and then you have to sort through them.”
B a r n e t t s a i d e a c h member would get assigned tasks based on his or her strengths. She said every-one would multitask by sewing different materials at the same time. When the creations were complete and time was up, each piece would be judged.
“They’re literally there counting down. ‘You have five seconds left,’ and we have to sprint and get ev-erything done,” Roppe said. “Have the model dressed, makeup, hair, shoes and then the judges would make them stand around the room, talking to each of us and then there would be the show.”
Barnett explained how the event was run differ-
ently in the past.“They would have a
mini-runway show, then they would judge that way,” Barnett said. “Then they walk around and talk to us.”
Roppe said after the judging period, they would then have the larger fash-ion show where the winner would be revealed.
This year, both Barnett
and Roppe are expecting to win through hard work and determination. They shared advice to students who would want to com-pete in future competitions.
“Definitely be open to changing because you don’t know the fabrics that they’re going to have there — you don’t know what colors, what style — so you
have to be flexible in that respect and be able to grab whatever you think might work and go with it,” Roppe said. “And just to have fun with your team.”
T h e f a s h i o n s h o w , which will showcase every design created Sunday, will be at 9 p.m. Friday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

co-owners and founders of Overflow. They hope to donate at least 50 percent of each month’s revenue to three separate minis-tries, but Twito said “after expenses are met, it will all go.”
One of the three min-istries that will receive do-nations is Children’s Hope Chest, a ministry active in many countries, where donations will be focused on aiding an orphanage in Uganda.
Another ministry, Life to Life Africa, provides edu-cation, food and clothing for Ugandan people.
O v e r f l o w w i l l a l s o support United Christian International, which will be aiding a community in Haiti.
Twito said that the three “were walking in step and met,” brought together by “divine intervention.”
Twito, whose husband is the pastor at Ascension Lutheran Church in Ames, was introduced to Sulc and Hicks after traveling to Haiti with her youngest daughter and returning with a vision of giving back to the world.
Hicks had operated a store located in Nevada, Iowa, that sold unwanted items left behind when ten-ants moved out of houses or apartments. She was connected with Sulc and Twito by mutual friends and found that they had similar philanthropic am-bitions.
“After having been overseas, after seeing the lack of stuff, and the sim-plicity of their lifestyles, it’s just heartbreaking to see that we have so much stuff that we can’t even take it all with us,” Twito said. “We can’t even manage it.”
Sulc, who works full-time for Life to Life Africa, which supports villages in Africa through clothing and food supplies, was search-ing for a way to give sup-port to struggling people without the hassle of phys-ically shipping donated clothing.
The store front pro-vides a means to give fi-nancial assistance directly
to villages in need.Twito predicted that
it would take six months to a full year to be profit-able enough to accomplish some of Overflow’s goals, which include a tuition scholarship for a student at a university in Haiti for about $1,200.
However, after the first month of business, Over-flow has surpassed break-ing even and will be able to donate right away.
The three owners were happy to be able to start off by giving a presence in their three ministries. Twito said, “the keys to our success is going to be the volunteer situation.”
Overflow has one full-time employee and one part time employee but is mainly maintained and run by volunteers.
Allee Wengert is a re-cent graduate of Iowa State who is seeking her master’s degree. She plans on volun-teering 10 to 20 hours per week at the store.
“The cause really is just so great,” Wengert said, “This kind of mission makes working here bigger than basic volunteer work,” Wengert said.
O v e r f l o w T h r i f t Store can be contacted to schedule volunteering on its website, http://over-flowthriftstore.com, or through its Facebook page. One can also fill out a vol-unteer interest form in the store itself.
Aside from the glob-al ministries, the owners of Overflow also plan to support local missions, including a halfway house for women leaving prison, a safe house for women leaving the sex trafficking industry in Iowa, and sup-porting Iowans who plan to adopt or foster orphans from the state or around the world.
Twito had tears in her eyes as she explained her passion for Overflow’s mis-sion.
“ W e h a v e s o m u c h here. And yet for them, their lives aren’t centered around stuff, so there is a wealth that they have that I want to learn from too,” Twito said about those who benefit from the ministries.

A sand mandala is a spiritual object in Buddhist cultures. It is a geometric shape that represents the universe. When completed, Buddhists believe it be-comes a sacred portal for deities and other universal forces.
Think of it as a large, colorful painting made en-tirely of sand. Each vivid grain of sand is carefully placed by a metal straw-like instrument and then gently moved with a stick. Together, the tools are re-ferred to as chakpur.
Each mandala is a one-of-a-kind creation. There are many different types of mandalas; each symbolic and meant to serve a spe-cific purpose.
The one being built for Iowa State is known as a Green Tara Mandala and will require four days to build. The green symbol-izes wisdom.
Once it is finished on the fourth day, it is released into an open body of water so it may free the energy from the Tara and allow it
to flow.The mandala for Iowa
State will be released into College Creek at 12:45 p.m. Thursday.
Ellen Williams, sopho-more in public relations, has previously seen a man-dala built in Minneapolis.
“I think it is important for students to know about culture because they go to a school with 30,000 stu-dents,” Williams said. “It would be a mistake not to recognize diversity.”
The mandala is divided up into four quadrants and a monk must paint and memorize every minute detail of his quadrant. The images on the mandala are based off of Scriptural texts.
Geshe Loden has some words of wisdom for stu-dents.
“We need tolerance and patience and wisdom a s w e l l t o a c h i e v e o u r goals,” Geshe Loden said.
