“Hi, are you registered to vote in Ames?” Students who have crossed Lincoln Way at the intersection with Lynn Avenue in the past week are probably familiar with this question now. Presidential campaigns began campaigning in Iowa in earnest in January and though caucus night is still months away , canvassers have been covering the Iowa State campus to register students to vote every day since at least Aug. 19. To reel in students, organizers have set up tables offering an array of campaign swag, including buttons, stickers and bumper stickers, among other things. e campaign of Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand had a unique oering for passersby Monday — organizers oered free tie dye to students. e campaigns of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Cory Booker, Sen. Kamala Harris, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Gillibrand and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke — all seeking the Democratic presidential nomination — have been active on the Iowa State campus in August. All of those campaigns set up tables near the Memorial Union to register voters and try to convince potential caucusgoers to “commit to caucus” for their candidate. Tyler Mardis, senior in public relations, started volunteering for the Warren cam - paign in May, and served as a fellow in her MIA WANG/ IOWA STATE DAILY Presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand did a meet and greet April 19 at Stomping Grounds Cafe, where she delivered remarks and conversed CAMPAIGN PG8 with event attendees.

BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com

Classes have started, campus is packed and the annual Sexual Assault Prevention Training has started at Iowa State. This required student training explains the purpose and implications of Title IX in depth, as well as signs of sexual assault and abuse and strategies to prevent it. Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal law that states: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the bene£ts of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal £nancial assistance.” “is training is part of what it means to be a part of the Iowa State community,” said Margo Foreman, assistant vice president for the Oce of Diversity, Inclusion and Equal Opportunity. “Part of that is to understand this is a place where folks want to be treated with respect, be free from discrimination and harassment in general but especially sexual misconduct because it is so traumatic.” Every year, all students at Iowa State, no matter their year in school, must complete the Sexual Assault Prevention Training, which CAITLIN YAMADA/ IOWA STATE DAILY is listed as a course on Canvas. Students Iowa State’s Sexual Assault Prevention Training is a required course for all students that provides education on all topics related to sexual assault who have taken the course in previous years as well as resources for students.

Tuesday, August 27, 2019 Iowa State Daily OPINION 05 Respect our gun rights BY JOHN.ROCHFORD @iowastatedaily.com

Since 2016, leftists and Democrats have been frustrated to such a degree that there is no longer a veil over their intended policy positions, and none more unveiled than positions on the Second Amendment. e old rebuttal of “nobody is trying to take your guns” has lost steam. Let us look at a few proposed policies, and examine if the 2020 Democratic candidates do want to “take guns.” First there is Joe Biden. Biden has promised to reinstate the assault weapons ban of 1994 if he was to win the election, and also promises to install a mandatory buyback of “assault weapons” in possession of citizens. Beto O’Rourke has promised to do the same, and declared he will work with Congress to ban the sale and possession of “military-style” assault rifles along with a mandatory buy - back for the ries and a voluntary buyback for handguns. Cory Booker wants to make rearm ownership dependent upon a fee, a ve-year license, an interview, an established database to track guns (rearm owners) and an assault weapons ban. Bernie Sanders wants to ban ries. Back in April, Kamala Harris declared she would issue executive orders within the first 100 days to achieve these aforementioned goals. Do these politicians want to take draconian measures for rearm conscation? e answer is explicitly yes. COURTESY OF NICK YOUNGSON It is not surprising that these Democratic Columnist John Rochford belives Democrat politicians are taking gun con scation to an extreme level. He discusses his belief that said politions candidates wish to simply bypass the disregard the Second Amendment and the rights of minorities to possess rearms.

CAMPAIGN PG1

campaign the “entire summer.” He said they want everyone to register to vote, regardless of whether they support Warren. “Even if they don’t like Warren, we want them to be politically active, and hopefully they’ll see what we see and really be on board with her,” Mardis said. “Lots of people have been really supportive and open to Warren.” Booker’s campaign said they interacted with hundreds of people in their organizing eorts around Iowa State, and the campaigns still active have plans to not only continue, but also ramp up their work to increase their margins among student voters as caucus night comes ever closer. Mack Shelley, Iowa State professor and chair of the political science department, said candidates come to campus in part because student voter turnout is already so low — it’s even lower if they don’t know the candidates. “People have to know who the candidates are in order to know who to vote for. Without the boots on the ground presence from the campaigns … turnout is even lower,” Shelley said. Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign resulted in a near tie with former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton in the Iowa caucuses, in part IOWA STATE DAILY because of the massive margins he received Sen.

In 2016, Sanders won a 60-40 victory over Clinton in Story County, receiving the votes of 86% of caucusgoers aged 17-24. However, Shelley said the younger people are, the less likely they are to turn out to vote. “You wind up with a really unfortunate situation in which older generations have a built-in advantage,” Shelley said. Madeline Sinovic, junior in political science, said she started volunteering in May, and got hired as an intern for the Warren campaign in June. Sinovic said people have been very receptive to volunteers greeting them at the street corner, adding she has talked to “hundreds of people” already. “It’s so exciting to see the support already growing, and it’s only August, and so I just can’t even imagine where it’s gonna go throughout the school year,” Sinovic said. Students with experience in party politics are getting involved in the campaign pro - cess too, and throwing their weight behind candidates. Claire Carstens, sophomore in event management and the founder and former chair of the Youth Polk County Democrats, announced her endorsement of Gillibrand Monday in a guest post for Iowa Starting Line. “Today, I will be at Iowa State University, IOWA STATE DAILY where I am starting my sophomore year, and Iowa State students hold signs in support of Sen.
