healthy new student enrollment it allows us to serve custom- ers better, to serve our students better and to provide a better experience for them through the process.” is year, the incoming freshman class contains 6,047 stu- dents. Of those students, 1,449 are rst generation college stu- dents. is freshman class also has the highest-ever average high school GPA for an incoming Iowa State class of 3.64, according to the press release. “We’re really excited about the new direct from high school [students] and the fact that we’re up over 6,000,” Harmon said. “We had not been over 6,000 in a couple years and we’re 103 students more than last fall, so that’s really really exciting.” From last year’s class of freshmen, Johnson Suski said they achieved their rst year retention goal of a 87.5 percent rate. In-state residents make up more than half of Iowa State’s enrollment. 3,362 Iowans are in the freshman class and 19,022 Iowans attend the university overall. For undergraduates, 59.2 percent are in-state students. “Especially as a land grant institution, that’s really our mis- sion, to support students and support our young people staying here in Iowa getting their education and getting employed in Iowa,” Johnson Suski said. Within total enrollment, all 99 Iowa counties and all 50 U.S states, in addition to Washington D.C, Puerto Rico, e Virgin Islands and Mariana Islands, are represented. Additionally, there are students from 126 countries, according to the press release. U.S. Multicultural Student (African American, Latinx, Native American and Paci c Islander) enrollment broke records this year with an increase in undergraduate and freshman students. Harmon credits this raise with new multicultural recruitment programs and scholarships. “Last year I believe was the rst year that we had a change in our visit programs where we had a program that was called multicultural student visit day,” Harmon said. “We always had a program for multicultural students who received scholarships and it was sort of feeding into our large visit day, Experience Iowa State, but this past year we had a speci c program on a certain day that was geared at multicultural students.” These days are called Multicultural Student Experience days, which are full open houses for multicultural students that involve the whole campus. e growth in multicultural students this year is “due to res- ident growth in resident multicultural students speci cally,” Johnson Suski said. The growth this year in multicultural students was solely in Iowa Residents, Johnson Suski said. She said this can be attributed to the multicultural outreach the team has done, such as the Multicultural Student Experience days. “ e fact that it’s all Iowans, is where the growth is, is just really unique this year and really exciting,” Johnson Suski said. Of the total enrollment, 29,621 are undergraduate students, which is “the largest number of undergraduates enrolled at any Iowa college or university,” according to the press release. Over the last decade, total undergraduate enrollment has steadily increased. However, the trend was broken with under- graduates decreasing from a total enrollment of 30,406 last year. For the first time in 12 years, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences dropped slightly, going from 5,333 last fall to an enrollment of 5,083 this year. Similarly, the College of Engineering, which is the largest college on campus, went from an enrollment of 9,669 in 2017 to a total of 9,530 this year. e College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is the second largest college with 8,035 students this year. ere are 4,931 students enrolled in the College of Business, 4,385 in The College of Human Sciences, and 1,928 in the College of Design. According to the press release, this year’s enrollment follows national trends such as “a decline in international enrollment, record graduation rates, and smaller incoming classes replacing large graduating classes.” roughout the country, international student enrollment is declining, which Harmon believes has to do with the “national political landscape.” “International students may be concerned about whether or not immigration policy might change, so we knew international [student enrollment] would be down. We have done some new initiatives to maximize opportunities for international students,” Harmon said. Despite the overall slight decline in enrollment, Harmon is looking forward to continuing recruitment initiatives. “There [are] certain things in the environment and the landscape we anticipated so our enrollment was just where we thought it would be,” Harmon said. “We’ve got a lot to celebrate.” Friday, September 7, 2018 Iowa State Daily OPINION 05

BY TREVOR.HOLBROOK @iowastatedaily.com
In the 2017 Cy-Hawk thriller, Iowa’s Nate Stanley and then-Iowa State quarterback Jacob Park aired out nine com- bined touchdowns. On the ground, then-Iowa running back Akrum Wadley and Iowa State’s David Montgomery chipped in a rushing touchdown each. Even with the explosive offensive production, the in-state rivals remained neck and neck. At the end of regulation knotted up at 38, Iowa and Iowa State headed to overtime. On the first Cyclone drive, then-redshirt senior Garrett Owens knocked in a 30-yard field goal. On Iowa’s possession, a 5-yard Stanley touchdown pass to Ihmir Smith-Marsette sealed Iowa State’s fate. The Cy-Hawk game tends to be tight with every point count- ing, and this year appears to be no different. Rewind to Iowa State’s opening overtime possession in 2017. Matt Campbell and his staff benefited last season from Owens and his experience, but the Cyclones hit reset in the kicking game this year. Iowa State penciled in redshirt sophomore Connor Assalley to fill the kicking void on Saturday. Assalley received one crack at a live play, converting a point after attempt against South Dakota State before the game’s cancellation. Entering the Jacobson Building for his media availability debut on Wednesday, an Iowa State spokesperson steered Assalley in front of the media backdrop.

BY TANA.GAM-AD @iowastatedaily.com
Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band drew a full house, around 2,500 guests, to Stephens Auditorium on Wednesday. Although the latest variation of the All-Starr Band has been together for only a couple of months, their onstage chemistry makes it seem like they have all been together for many years. The band is very tight, and they seem to have a ton of fun performing together. They work well off each other and feed off each other’s energy. This made it more than just a fun night for the thousands of attendees. The band’s fourth stop on their North American tour started off with a bang when Gregg Bissonette (drums), Graham Gouldman from 10cc (bass guitar), Warren Ham from AD and Kansas (sax- ophone, harmonica, flute, percussion), Colin Hay from Men at Work (guitar), Steve Lukather from Toto (guitar) and Gregg Rolie from Santana and Journey (keyboards) took their places on stage before being joined by Ringo Starr who ran out on stage with his signature pose. Clad in black skinny jeans, a printed t-shirt and a blazer, he came out waving both hands in the air, both holding up peace signs and smiling widely at the audience. Making his entrance, Starr jumped into the first performance of the night, “Matchbox.” All band members did great work on their instruments and as backup vocalists. The song garnered the first of many standing ovations and an applause so loud it prompted Starr to make a few jokes about his hearing before singing “It Don’t Come Easy” to an adoring public. One of the more notable things about this song was Ham’s smooth performance on the saxophone. Starr’s next vocal performance was “What Goes On” before he handed vocals over to Gouldman of 10cc fame and moving to sit behind his drum kit. Gouldman jokingly introduced his next song, “Dreadlock Holiday,” as a “massive hit all over the world except in America.” The reggae track that once topped Billboard charts around the world, drew a good response from the crowd, who sang along to the music. Gouldman introduced the next song by calling Santana’s Rolie SARAH HENRY/ IOWA STATE DAILY “The John Wayne of Rock and Roll” prior to Rolie and the band’s Famed musician Ringo Starr performed with his band, the All Star Band, at Stephens Auditorium on Wednesday.
