BY SYDNEY BLEIL [email protected]

The Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement met Thursday night to discuss new sustainability practices on a city and state level. The Des Moines-based statewide organization, which is committed to nu- merous causes, including fighting against the Dakota Access Pipeline, leads a call for 100 percent clean energy in Iowa City and across the state. The event coordinator, Matt Ohloff, hoped the meeting would create a space for people to discuss what they wanted from sustainability initiatives and how to best transition to clean energy. “Climate change is an urgent issue,” he said. “We need everybody to be involved …to help support the Ashley Morris/The Daily Iowan push to clean energy.” City Council candidate Ryan Hall participates in a climate-action meeting at the Iowa City Public Library on Thursday.

Although there is a need to play into this market, said Bill Rue, who graduated from the program in 2014, a full-time M.B.A. program is a “flagship for any good business school,” showing the strength of its reputation in rankings and re- flecting in the overall value of the program. “If we have a highly esteemed undergraduate program, if we have these highly esteemed part-time programs, without a full-time M.B.A. program, you don’t have that crown jewel,” he said. Students choose a Big Ten university for an M.B.A. program expecting it will last and they can continue to tell people about the program from which they received a degree, said Tyler Kieler, a 2013 graduate of the program. Kieler said that it drives brand value even if it does not drive revenue. “… Now we’ll just have to sort of sheepishly or even em- barrassingly say, ‘Yeah, the full-time program that I went to at the University of Iowa is now closed,’ so I think it’s going to hurt rankings,” he said. “I think it’s going to hurt the long-term value of the degree that we all got.” Rue and Kieler also expressed concerns the program’s closure would weaken the Tippie alumni network and part-time students would miss out on the networking experience that comes with enrollment in the full-time program. On the UI’s end, Kieler said, it might mean donations from alumni will no longer flow as freely.

HAWKEYE UPDATES

Double header for USA After falling 11-5 to Ex-Hawk wrestler Japan on Aug. 23, the USA baseball team picks up play at the World University takes on the World Games today Hoeg at 5:30 a.m. CDT. Three-time All-American Thomas Gilman will represent the U.S. National Team in Paris today. Team USA, represented by the Iowa baseball squad, faces off against the Czech Republic for its first match of the day in Taipei, Taiwan. Following its contest, USA will play again today, this time against South Korea at 9:45 p.m. CDT. USA jumped out to a 3-0 lead on Japan through two innings before giving up 9 runs over the next three. Third baseman Lorenzo Elion led the Americans with a pair of hits, and first baseman Matt Hoeg finished with a team-high 3 RBIs. In the pitching department, Jack Dreyer received his first start as a Hawkeye. The freshman from Johnston pitched four innings, allowing only a single hit and run while striking out a pair of batters. Once he left the mound, the rest of Iowa’s pitching strug- gled. Kyle Shimp and Kole Kampen combined to pitch for 1.2 innings, giving up 8 runs on 5 hits. Neither struck out a single batter. Shimp earned the loss.
