IOWA STATE DAILY Iowa State’s Zoran Talley Jr. looks for a teammate during the Cyclones’ 70-52 win over No. 8 Texas Tech. Talley had 11 points in 23 minutes. Defense, efforts key for returns BY AARON MARNER @iowastatedaily.com
When Cameron Lard and Zoran Talley Jr. returned to the rotation Monday against North Dakota State, their roles were di erent from last year. Lard, a redshirt sophomore, and Talley Jr., a redshirt senior, combined for 27 starts a season ago (Lard had 16 and Talley Jr. started 11). Lard was the third-leading scorer on the roster and the leading rebounder, while Talley Jr. averaged 7.5 points per game as a secondary scoring option. On Monday, the two combined for 26 minutes. Unlike last year however, Iowa State doesn’t need Lard or Talley Jr. in order for the team to be successful. e 6-1 start Bye, Bye Bulls to the season is evidence of that. As a result, Lard and Talley Jr. will need to adapt to the rest of the team, not the other way around, in order to get playing time. “I like our chemistry,” said coach Steve Prohm. “I think that IOWA STATE DAILY they understand what they need to play for, and that’s for Iowa Fred Hoiberg speaks at his last Iowa State press conference in Hilton Coliseum on Friday, June 5, 2015.

DINING pg1 highest of the four. With no reported cases in Iowa, ISU Dining did not take the risk and acted immediately. After two weeks of a romaine substi- tute, ISU Dining will go back to serving romaine Wednesday. Jennifer Beem, food safety/quality assurance manager at ISU Dining, said that after receiving an email from the director concerning the romaine advisory, she immediately responded. “I went with safer than sorry,” Beem said. “I saw what the [Center for Disease and Control] CDC was saying, and I said, ‘nope, let’s dispose of all of it.’” Luckily for students and ISU Dining, that all happened during fall break on Nov. 20 and 21 with only two food stores being open at the time. When student assistant managers returned from break, romaine was no longer an option to order. As the rest of students returned from break, an arcadian blend, which contains no iceberg or romaine, was a substitute in sandwiches, salads and other recipes from the commissary kitchen. Although more expensive, Beem wanted to keep options open for all students. Beem and Brittney Rutherford, marketing communications coordina- tor at ISU Dining, understand the importance of keeping students safe. Rutherford recalled a time during a listeria outbreak while she was preg- nant a few years ago. “Cantaloupe got recalled and I ate it that day from one of our facilities,” Rutherford said. “I came down and talked to the produce manager and they told me exactly where it came from and that it was not affected. You want to stay safe and knowing our staff knows that is reassuring that they are doing everything to keep people safe.” Beem said the CDC announced it was safe to distribute romaine, bring- ing it back to Iowa State’s menus across campus. On Wednesday students should expect to see Caesar salads and sandwiches containing romaine back on shelves. Beem assured that romaine will be safe for consumption based on the steps it takes to receive the lettuce. Since manufacturers are receiving per- mission to produce romaine again, then heading off to distributors, con- sumers at Iowa State can feel confident about their food. “Now that it’s been released, we’re farther down the chain in the safety net,” Beem said. Rutherford and Beem said food already made with the arcadian blend will not be tossed once romaine hits the shelves again. KATLYN CAMPBELL/ IOWA STATE DAILY “We’re not going to discard products just to discard it just because the Luckily for students and ISU Dining, the outbreak happened during fall break on Nov. 20-21 with only two food stores being open at the time. menu doesn’t say romaine on it, we’ll work through that,” Rutherford said.
ENGINEERING pg3 candidates. They asked the audience to explore their professional networks to identify candidates. Mirka and Rico-Gutierrez asked the audience what characteristics and what challenges they feel the college is facing, emphasizing on the next dean skill set. “We need leaders with different skill sets as time goes on,” Rico-Gutierrez said. Some of the topics the audience discussed was bettering the dean’s collaboration with the college and maintaining the surge in engineering students. A concern was improving the COMING retention of staff because of the great turn over in some positions. The audience felt the col- lege needs a dean with a clear sense of the future and the mission of where they are going. “They need to have good communications with people outside of the university such as legislators alumni industry and governments and to also be able to have super effective communication within the college of engineering and try to continue to retain the highest quality staff and students,” Mirka said. Audience members also mentioned looking to attract candidates who appreciate and have the ability to be involved with graduate students. The next step will be tomorrow to review the comments through the forums, advisory council and campaign committee. The “Every department has had an opportunity to interact,” Mirka said. “It’s been encourag- ing to see all of the high quality nominations. Hopefully during the month of December we will start to see more of those nominations rolling in and give us something to look at in January.” IOWA Audience members discussed why they felt Iowa State was a good college for a dean to want to apply to, discussing their love for Iowa State and their feelings on the college being “student focused.” “The more we hear from people the more those opinions can be heard,” Rico-Gutierrez STATE said.
