University ID numbers released Department of Residence inadvertently sends out info to 2,300 By Alex.Hanson and Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com Anyone living in Iowa State housing had their university ID number exposed in an email attachment sent to about 2,300 students by The Department of Residence this week. The email, sent by The Department of Residence on Tuesday, was to inform students about new university policy banning electronic cigarettes on campus. The mass email, which DOR sends in batches, included an attachment with a roster of everyone living in university housing. Peter Englin, director of residence, said the list was not intended to have been attached to
the email. He said as of Thursday afternoon, seven students contacted Englin with concerns about the released IDs. Englin sent an email to ISU students Friday evening to make them aware of the situation. “The risk to students as a result of this breach is extremely low,” the email stated. “Iowa State has received no reports, nor do we have any evidence, that any harm has occurred, and no student financial information was contained on the student list.” The attached spreadsheet included students’ university ID numbers, their ISU email addresses and where they live on campus. Unless a student suppresses their info on AccessPlus, all of the info released is available through
the ISU online directory, except university ID numbers. The email reached about 2,300 students on campus before the roster was noticed by the employee sending out the email. Englin explained that the department’s system sends emails in batches of about 500 and said the employee noticed the mistake after sending five batches. The DOR did send a “recall” message to students who were sent the attachment, but the attachment was still available to anyone who received it. Englin said DOR met with IT Security Committee the next day to discuss options for the situation. Andrew Weisskopf, information security officer at IT Services, said university ID numbers are

only used internally at Iowa State, so students will not be at risk for any large-scale theft that might occur when a Social Security number is stolen. However, he said there could possibly be issues of ID numbers being used on campus. “The ability to social engineer staff on campus is one that always
exists,” Weisskopf said. “This could add to it, but we’re going to use it as a messaging opportunity to university staff to be more vigilant in how they vet people who are not in front of them.” John McCarroll, director of

The Iowa Legislature will meet Monday to discuss funding for state schools. Despite legislative efforts to prevent a tuition raise, all three state universities will experience a raise in 2016. State Sen. Herman Quirmbach, D-Ames, said compromise this session might be tougher because of Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad’s veto to cut out one-time funding for schools.
Funding put to the test D
espite party leaders saying they hope for a quick deal on education funding, the Iowa Legislature may be heading for another bitter battle over funding of schools in the state when they convene Monday. Last year’s funding The divided legislature went back and forth over how much to fund K-12 schools and higher education throughout the entire session in 2015. Democrats were pushing for a 4 percent increase, while Republicans stood their ground on 1.25 percent. In the end, both chambers passed a bill increasing funding by 1.25 percent, but it also included $55.7 million in “onetime” funds, meaning the schools will only receive that amount this coming year. Along with the K-12 funding, and a certain amount of money for each state university, the legislature also passed a bill giving money to universities in hope for a tuition freeze in the spring 2016 semester. Branstad ended up using his lineitem veto power, which allows him to strip out specific funds from appropriation bills without vetoing the entire bill. The veto cut out the one-time funding for schools, which included $2,254,079 for Iowa State
University. He called one-time funding of schools in the state “unsustainable.” Compromise and negotiations this session will be ‘tougher’ State Sen. Herman Quirmbach, DAmes, who is chairman of the Senate Education Committee and a professor of economics at Iowa State, said negotiations on a wide range of issues might be tougher with the governor’s veto still fresh in Democrats’ minds. “[The veto] is definitely going to make deal-making harder, not just on education, but across the board,” Quirmbach said, adding the governors office told legislators they could not see Branstad vetoing the agreement. “Well, low and behold, he vetoed it,” Quirmbach added. “The governor undercut the compromise.” Two Republicans — Reps. Bobby Kaufmann, R-Wilton, and Quentin Stanerson, R-Center Point — joined every Democrat in the legislature in requesting a special session of the legislature to convene and override the vetoes. State Rep. Ron Jorgensen, R-Sioux City, who chairs the Education Committee in the House, said he hopes lawmakers will put the veto in the past and come together on any compromise this year. “Let’s put that in the past and move forward,” Jorgensen said. “Let’s come

together like I think we can and should, and work out a deal as best as we can. It’s certainly not going to affect me on my willingness to negotiate and get the quickest and best deal.” State Rep. Tedd Gassman, R-Scarville, who is vice chairman of the House Education Committee, said while the veto may have been unexpected, he does not think it will have an effect, at least on the House side. “I don’t think the [veto] will have a long-lasting effect on the House side because it’s controlled by Republicans, but I guess it was a surprise that [Branstad] would do that,” Gassman, who voted in favor of the education funding compromise, said. “I can’t blame him for what he did with that because he ended up probably being right, we are running shorter and shorter on money all the time, and we’ve got to take care of our budget,” Gassman said. He also said based on conversations he had with individuals in the education field such as teachers and administrators he liked the idea of one-time funds that could be used on items such as textbooks and computers, but he does not see the legislature doing it again this year. While a large chunk of Republicans
Students will have to leave behind their vaporizers as they return to campus for spring semester due to a new policy put in place on the first day of the year. Because of a resolution to encourage a Smoke-Free Campus, Iowa State University officially banned electronic cigarettes on all campus property, which went into effect Jan. 1. The policy was passed by Iowa State’s Faculty Senate in December 2015, and is in compliance to the campus’ current rules on tobacco smoking. The policy aligns with the state of Iowa’s Smokefree Air Act passed in 2008 by state legislators that “protects employees and the general public” by banning smoking in nearly all public spaces and in places of employment. Iowa State’s Smoke-Free Campus states “smoking is prohibited in ‘public buildings and vehicles owned, leased, or operated by or under the control of’ the university as well as on the entire ‘grounds of the university.’” Therefore, a person may not smoke any kind of cigarette — whether electronic or traditional — in any building on and off campus, or any outdoor space owned by the university, including Veenker Golf Course and ISU Farms. The only exception to the rule

Iowa State names new director of dining By Rakiah.Bonjour @iowastatedaily.com After a year without a director of dining, Iowa State has named Mohamed Ali to the position. Ali was formerly the director of auxiliary operations at Ohio State University before coming to Iowa State. He has 24 years of experience between different food industry management positions, but he said his passion is people. “I am a people person,” Ali said. “I love engaging with people

and engaging with students.” Some of the changes Ali plans on incorporating into the
dining centers are product development training, collaborative partnerships, using more organic and plant-based foods and improving relationships with local farmers. However, before he starts implementing new changes he wants to build a relationship with ISU faculty and students to understand their needs. “I want to get to know the people, the student leadership and find out what the needs are before I start listing goals,” Ali said. “That is more important to me than changes.” Ali also plans on addressing
the overcrowding problem many students face when eating at the dining centers on campus. “I plan on addressing [students feeling overcrowded], absolutely, but that’s something to address once I am there,” he said. “It won’t be immediate but I have to see the problem first. I’m a person that spends time with challenges, not sitting in an office.” Ali plans on maximizing food knowledge among his staff, chefs, companies and farmers he works with. He said the greatest change he is looking forward to from Ohio to Iowa is the opportunity
to work with local farmers. “There are more resources available, not just produce but with meats, chicken. It’s amazing,” he said. “And the ability to build relationships with local farmers, there is just more opportunity [in Iowa].” Ali said the “key to understanding this position” is to provide for those who have dietary restrictions such as food allergies, religious beliefs and vegetarianism or veganism. He also plans on offering nutritional information when incorporating his new menus.

This action, which does not need Congress or House approval, makes current laws more clear in order to help them be bet-
ter enforced. These changes will attempt to increase efficiency of background checks and to tighten the “gun show” loophole. Branstad’s water initiative Water quality has been a big topic around Iowa after Gov. Terry Branstad said he is planning to ask legislators to extend the current 1 percent sales tax, which a portion of would support water quality initiatives. Oregon standoff An armed militia in Oregon seized control of a federal wildlife reserve Jan. 2 in protest of government tyranny, and has been there ever since. The group is led

#CyDecides2016
By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com History says January can change everything during the Iowa Caucus — just ask Barack Obama from 2008 and Rick Santorum from 2012, who both took the lead in the final month and won after months and months of being behind. While Santorum did not end up being the GOP nominee in 2012, Obama, of course, went on to become president as a first-term senator by beating Hillary Clinton and John Edwards in the state. But this year, political pundits and history have been wrong over and over, with political outsider Donald Trump leading almost every poll since he announced his candidacy this past summer. While some may call Trump’s proposals and rhetoric outlandish, his appeal to the working class and those fed up with “politics as usual” continues to put him atop the Republican race for the White House. In Iowa, expect a closer race, said Mack Shelley, uni-

Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has tapped into Iowa’s large evangelical base with a few weeks left before Iowa votes. “Cruz seems to be leading in Iowa in polls, about 4 percent in an average from Real Clear Politics,” Hagle said this week while discussing the state of the race. “Its not like Cruz has a huge lead, but the difference is that
Cruz has a stronger ground game … and that kind of stuff is important because there are a lot of people who [are confused] about the caucus [process].” Hagle mentioned a huge number of volunteers in the state helping to elect Cruz.

Ernst stops in Ames Iowa senator continues 99-county tour By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, RIowa, made her sixth stop on her 99-county tour of Iowa in Ames on Friday to meet with community members and to discuss topics such as national security and her first year in the Senate. Nearly 50 people gathered for a luncheon with the senator in the Ames Chamber of Commerce on Main Street to hear her speak about her first year in office, as well as her work on various national policies. This was the sixth stop of Ernst’s 99-county tour and, in jest, she added that she hoped to beat Sen. Chuck Grassley on his tour of Iowa. “I think the 99-county tour is very important,” Ernst said. “We want to make sure we’re connecting with those people … and that we’re talking with those people, finding out what their challenges are and ways that we can do in the federal government. I wouldn’t get that if I weren’t traveling the roads and meeting with these folks.”

U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, speaks to Iowa media Friday at the Ames Chamber of Commerce after an event in which she met with community members to discuss national security and her first year in the Senate.
Ernst called her first year in office “tremendous” and outlined her accomplishments as a freshmen on the floor. This included her response to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address. She also spoke on the bipartisan collaboration she has seen in the Senate, which is something she said the public doesn’t know about. To emphasize this, Ernst shared her experiences forming a partnership with California’s Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer to sponsor a bill to provide weapons to Kurds to fight ISIS. It’s easy to work across the aisle on issues they agree on, Ernst said, but on issues they don’t agree on, the senator said she plans
to keep the dialogue open. “We’ll continue to keep the same dialogue because there won’t always be opportunities where we agree 100 percent,” Ernst said. “But if we can find other members that agree maybe 75 or 80 percent, it is much easier when you get to know that senator and can sit down and have discussions on where we can meet in the middle.” Ernst also discussed matters of national security, including ISIS and North Korea’s alleged hydrogen bomb that was set off Tuesday evening. Ernst called it a dangerous situation and stated the government was “unstable.” She also called for an

U.S. News and World Report reported Friday. “Iowa is all about organization,” Shelley said. “Cruz is definitely involved in the organizational side of things and he seems to have gotten the memo on that is how you win in Iowa — it’s kind of the way Huckabee won in 2008 and Santorum won in 2012.” As for Trump, his campaign events in the state, which included stops in Ottumwa and Clear Lake on Saturday, still draw hun-
E-CIG p1 allows smoking in enclosed areas if it is relevant to medical or scientific research. However, this policy does not include Campustown, said Pete Englin, director of the Department of Residence. “But it includes properties that we lease in Campustown, like Legacy Tower,” Englin said. Englin said although the science surrounding these devices are relatively new and conclusions vary, DOR is supportive of having the ban in place. For some, this new restriction is a cause for celebration, including Denise Denton, senior lecturer in kinesiology. Denton said ISU students had been active in getting the conversation started at the university, particularly in the Health Promotion Club, a student organization for which Denton advises. The Health Promotion Club brought the issue forward to Student Government, which supported the restriction of electronic cigarettes in a recommendation to university administration passed on Feb. 4, 2015. After concerns from students, DOR also became involved with the issue. Englin said the department had been involved with the ongoing discussion and provided feedback on the issue. “At the beginning of the academic year, we had a couple of instances where smoke alarms were set off in people’s rooms due to an
dreds, if not thousands, of supporters, but the important ground game operation may be lagging. “[The ground game] is where the Trump campaign has a weakness,” Hagle said. “They may be trying to increase their ground game, but they seem to be significantly lagging behind and they’ve got newer voters, people who are not registered, and if they haven’t caucused before, they’re less likely to caucus now.” Trump is also planning a rally in Cedar Falls on Tuesday at The University of Northern Iowa. “Trump doesn’t seem to have much [ground game] invested in Iowa so far,” Shelley said. “He really hasn’t been playing the game that way, instead he’s been relying on free broadcast media to get his name and ideas across, plus he’s been known for decades.” Behind Cruz and Trump? The Real Clear Politics average has Cruz at 30.8 percent and Trump at 26.8 – the closest behind being Marco Rubio, R-Fla. at 12 percent, Ben Carson at 9 percent and Jeb Bush at 5.2 percent. At this point, it’s clear that Trump and Cruz will probably be in the top two spots in Iowa, Shelley said, but past Iowa, there are oth-
er names to watch. “[Chris] Christie is doing much better in New Hampshire — although still way behind Trump — than he is in Iowa,” Shelley said. “But he could do reasonably well in Iowa. He and Rubio might be duking it out farther down the road for the semi-official anointment of the establishment.” Other establishment candidates who may have done well in other cycles continue to struggle such as Bush and Kasich. Shelley also mentioned U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., whose Dad, former Texas Rep. Ron Paul, came in third in Iowa. He has been reaching out to students and libertarians, but his appeal does not seem to be catching on. While Iowa may be first and will jumpstart the conversation as the first votes are cast, it will be important to watch the early states. New Hampshire will host its primary Feb. 9, with Democrats caucusing in Nevada, and Republicans voting in South Carolina on Feb. 20. Republicans will caucus in Nevada on Feb. 23, while Democrats will vote in South Carolina on Feb. 27. Then watch for Super Tuesday, when more than a dozen states will vote March 1, and the nominee on each side may be clear.
e-cigarette or vape,” Englin said. “So it was more of a nuisance than anything else, but that does empty the building.” Doris Hodgson is the owner of Vape On, a local Ames business that sells electronic cigarette paraphernalia and other products. She said she was not supportive of the university’s new policy because she believes an e-cigarette is a positive alternative to a tobacco cigarette. “It’s a better alternative,” she said. “Cigarettes have about 400 chemicals in them and you’re getting rid of all that when you vape.” A past smoker herself, Hodgson said after making the switch, she found that her lungs are clearer and there was a decrease in her coughing and the smell. Hodgson said she has a small number of ISU student customers, and does not believe this new policy will affect her business. However, for those like Denton, they support the resolution because of a rising number of studies that state that e-cigarettes, even without nicotine, are harmful to an individual’s health. According to a statement released by the American Lung Association, the organization “is concerned about the potential health consequences of electronic cigarettes, as well as the unproven claims that they can be used to help smokers quit.” Before the ban reached campus, however, legislation passed by the Story County Board of Supervisors in July that barred elec-
tronic cigarette usage on all county property, except public parks. Denton said the Health Promotion Club conducted a survey in 2014 of nearly 600 Ames community members to study public opinion and usage of electronic cigarettes. The results presented to the Board of Supervisors stated an overall majority had an unfavorable impression of e-cigarettes or vaping devices. Now, Denton said the Health Promotion Club is working on its next goal: ban usage in all public spaces in Ames. Denton said passing this restriction is important public health for the students because it helps stop this behavior. “No law guarantees someone does or does not do something, but it sets a bar in an operation,” Denton said. “It’s expectations with teeth.” Denton also argued that making a practice equal means there is a cultural approval associated with the issue. For example, she said, since marijuana is legalized in some states there has been an increase in usage across the board. Hodgson, who plans to be a part of the conversation to prevent banning e-cigarettes and vapors in Ames, said it should be up to local business owners. “I feel that it should be the business owner’s decision,” Hodgson said. “I do think that the business owners should have a say on whether they can vape in their establishment.”

A 2013 Child Maltreatment report revealed that 39 percent of referrals concerning suspected abuse are never investigated. Of those that are investigated, 63 percent are not removed from their homes, including 85 percent of sexual abuse cases. A majority of abused children are left with their families, including the abusive parent.
Protecting or neglecting Human services agencies put child safety second By Beth.Woodruff @iowastatedaily.com
T
housands of people from around the nation are reported for suspected child abuse each year, and too many of these reports, approximately 40 percent, are overlooked without any investigation. The Department of Human Services and Child Protective Services boast about protecting the majority of abused children, but what happens to all of the kids to whom they turn a blind eye and leave in the hands of a possible abuser? And more importantly, how is an oversight of this magnitude leaving the reputation of these organizations unscathed? DHS and CPS are often thought to be a front line of defense for getting children out of abusive or unacceptable living conditions. However, the most recent Child Maltreatment report, released in 2013, sheds a different light on how they handle child neglect and abuse referrals. The report states there were 3.5 million referrals of suspected child abuse in 2013, 62 percent of which were reported by professionals such as teachers and daycare workers. Given that these individuals are mandatory reporters of child abuse because of their frequent contact with children, the reason for these reports is not something to be taken lightly. After the initial report, each
of these referrals goes through a screening process in which they are either “screened in” or “screened out.” The American Humane Association outlines the screening process, stating that in order to be screened in, the referral must meet very specific state criteria. Unfortunately, this means that the 39 percent of referrals made in 2013 screened out by the CPS will never be given a second look or investigated. This could be leaving countless children in potentially dangerous environments, simply because their situation did not fall into specific CPS set parameters. The report also stated 61 percent of referrals are screened in and become official reports. These reports led to 3.2 million children receiving investigation in their home life in 2013. Of those 3.2 million children, 679,000 were found to be true victims of abuse, maltreatment or neglect. Unfortunately, a meager 58 percent of the proven victims received postresponse services to aid in improving the child’s living conditions. What is even more alarming than the lack of help for these mistreated children is the way the help was implemented. The report states that 88.6 percent of abuse happens from a child’s biological parent, yet the majority of said abused children — 251,000 of the 396,000 — were given only in-home services. This means CPS chose to leave the child in a situation that was identified as unhealthy and unsafe. Children who are physically neglected or abused, as well as kids suffering from sexual abuse, are left in homes. Of the nearly 18,000 children sexually abused in 2013, only
2,752 of them were taken away from their abusive homes. This leaves a large percentage of the abused children alone and afraid of one or both parents. The 2013 CPS report includes information about the deaths of abused children. Many states, including Iowa, had no published information on the CPS list, making the national data set less accurate. Of the states that did report, an alarming 3.1 percent of the children removed from foster care and reunited with their original families died from further abuse. The Violence Research Foundation states that at least 60 percent of domestic abusers ultimately relapse back into their abusive ways after their children are returned to them from foster care. This is just one reason why children taken from their abusive homes should remain in a safe foster care environment despite claims by parents of “change.” The 3.1 percent of child deaths in a reunited family environment still leaves a larger percentage of fatalities made up by children who were never removed from their abusive family. These were deaths that could have been prevented by a thorough inspection of the child’s home followed by immediate action. While DHS and CPS work under the guise of protecting children, they seem to have an objective of keeping families together, rather than keeping children safe. Child abuse, neglect and maltreatment need to be taken more seriously; every referral has been made for a reason and needs to be investigated. Children are losing their lives because of a broken system in which their safety is put second and their abusers are put first.
Heavy metal is not the cause of juvenile behavior By Maddy.Beiwel @iowastatedaily.com When I was younger, I was a serious music snob. While the other girls were listening to Ke$ha, I reveled in my individuality by enjoying bands such as Slipknot, Black Sabbath and Static-X. While my tastes in music haven’t changed too much over the years, I have added onto them. Alongside the teenage emo music resides some of the classics — Guns N’ Roses, Skid Row and even some pop. However, my loyalty will always remain with heavy metal. I used to go to see heavy metal bands at the tiniest and most cramped venues and would eventually make my way out onto the patio to sit on the railing and listen to the alcoholic chatter of college students who had more of a right to be there than I did. These music choices or desired hangouts are not typical of a preteen female, but the difference in music preference says nothing of who I am as a person. People have had problems with the heavy metal genre for about as long as it’s been around, usually for its glorification of violence and perceived satanic imagery. Moral guardians crusaded to censor the
genre, leading to the creation of the Parents Music Resource Center, which sought to place parental labels on music with explicit content. After its introduction in 1985, it was heavily combated by heavy hitters in the music industry such as Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider and Frank Zappa. They argued that parents should regulate what their children see and experience on their own terms by instilling the values they want in them. The argument stood that what is scary to one person is not to another, and one group of people does not have the moral authority to brand an entire genre as damaging, while another group has an entirely different view. Despite the protests of musicians, Parental Advisory stickers were placed on albums with supposedly objectionable content, and people who believed it was other people’s jobs to dictate their children’s morals slept a little better at night. They no longer had to live in fear of having actual conversations with their children about their beliefs. A sticker was slapped onto albums, making them taboo and undesirable, forcing the same effect on the listener by association. This furor toward the censorship of music was at least
partially stimulated by the Oct. 26, 1984, suicide of 19-year-old John Daniel McCollum. McCollum shot himself while listening to Ozzy Osbourne’s album “Blizzard of Ozz,” and his parents pinned the sole blame on the song “Suicide Solution,” which, while perhaps misleadingly named, is about alcohol and what it can do to someone’s life. McCollum’s parents claimed McCollum was a perfectly normal child who only turned to suicide after hearing Osbourne’s music. While he later expressed sympathy with the young man and with his parents, Ozzy stated that McCollum “must have been pretty messed up before he ever heard an Ozzy record.” While the death was certainly tragic, suicide is rarely, if ever, the result of one sole influence. Making the jump to blaming the music for the tragedy is a stretch at best. For example, when the Columbine shooting occurred, much of the public was more than ready to accept that the two teenagers responsible were avid, even obsessed fans of Marilyn Manson. He shouldered the blame for the deaths of the students through accusations that his music was immoral and dangerous. This continued on, even after it was shown that

neither of the boys were fans of Manson’s music. This is a prime example of scapegoating and shows that people need to consider things that are perhaps strange or different to them as something other than bad or damaging. In these cases of music being “blamed” for violence, other factors should have been taken into consideration. Rather than parents claiming music corrupted their child, perhaps some further reflection on the parents’ relationship with their child and how much they actually knew about their son or daughter would reveal the true motivation. While I certainly don’t blame Columbine on the parents of the two boys, the answer cannot be found in music.
We must get back to work
A new year and a new semester provide the ideal opportunity to start fresh. This could mean setting objectives from short, personal goals to long-term team ones, or rekindling goals created in the fall. The fall 2015 semester was full of ferment. The university hired a new football coach and health center director and said goodbye to multiple senior administrators, including Senior Vice President for Student Affairs Tom Hill. Dean of Students Pamela Anthony announced she, too, was leaving Iowa State. Students of color persistently demanded change to campus culture with multiple demonstrations and meetings with administration. Iowa State’s very first vice president for diversity and inclusion, Reginald Stewart, is starting the semester with a plateful of inclusion initiatives, including ISU PD creating a multicultural liaison position for three officers, University Museums developing a plan to relocate multicultural artwork to more visible areas on campus and additional training for police and ISU faculty. The new Thielen Student Health Center director, Erin Baldwin, was hired in the fall and is set to implement the new initiatives to improve the student health center, after a report released in early summer 2015 revealed the center wasn’t up to standard in care. All of this in addition to the regular stresses of classes, jobs, homework and extracurricular activities. These changes, and more, make for a lot of adjustments thrown at the campus community in a short amount of time. Break was a chance to reset and recharge, but now, it’s time to get to work. The initiatives intended to improve campus culture will mean nothing if the student body doesn’t hold the administration accountable for actually implementing them. This first semester after all of the changes and decisions is key. Spring 2016 will set the tone for the changes to come, and the student body is crucial to manage that mentality. The student body succeeded in its mission in the fall semester, to make sure voices and concerns were heard. The administration should be commended for its response of being open and welcoming to student opinion and input. Both parties were excellent in learning to and adapting to working with each other. If we learn how to do this now, this mentality will be passed down, and it will be a tone for which campus will be known. Students and faculty are charged with holding administration accountable for the promises it makes to the campus community. We must continue this trend to ensure change is enacted on this campus.

Cyclone Hockey hands No. 1 Minot State its first loss By Austin.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com
his team to eliminate the pressure. “I told the guys we had nothing to lose [Saturday],” Fairman said. “We weren’t where we should be as a team because we weren’t taking care of the small details. That was something we were going to have to work through if they couldn’t do it tonight. “I told them, ‘You have nothing to lose tonight. If we have to figure it out next week or the week after that we will. We will figure it out before nationals.’” The pressure that was lifted off of the players’ shoulders led to an increased attention to details, contributing to a victory that put smiles and laughter in the locker room. Kramer said the difference came down to effort, and Aaron Azevedo said the puck just started bouncing the team’s way. No matter the conflicting reasons as to why, the result was still the first victory against a No. 1 ranked team in Fairman’s or any of the players’ Cyclone Hockey careers. “It’s a big statement to everyone,” said Azevedo, who had three Saturday assists and a goal. “We have a shot to do it this year.” Azevedo was talking about a national championship, something that people in the Cyclone Hockey organization haven’t shied away from this season. After making a statement by beating a team that no one had all season, the Cyclones have started to gain momentum. “We’re a team to be reckoned with,” Kramer said. The confidence stems
Cyclone Hockey forward Colton Kramer answered questions outside the locker room Saturday night in front of the largest group of reporters he had dealt with all season. His game-winning goal to hand the No. 1 team in the American Collegiate Hockey Association, Minot State, its first regulation loss of the season certainly warranted the crowd. The only thing that was surprising about the audience for Kramer’s postgame interview was that nearly all of the people holding their phones up to record his comments were his teammates. Just 24 hours before, there were no Cyclone Hockey players doubling as reporters. The team was feeling the pressure after starting the new year with a 7-3 loss to Minot State. The difference between the two games was made at some point between when the team left the arena around 10 p.m. Friday night and when the puck dropped again at 7:30 p.m. the next day. Cyclone Hockey coach Jason Fairman held a long film session before the Cyclones’ Saturday night victory, which might have made the difference. “It was different from what we’ve done,” Fairman said. “I don’t know if that helped or not, but I think it refocused us.” The film session might have done the trick, or it might have been the simple speech Fairman gave to

from the top of the Cyclone Hockey organization. Back in December, before Winter Break started, Fairman sat in the igloo room at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena. His team still faced the final series of 2015 against Dakota-Bottineau, but Fairman already had an eye on the Beavers of Minot State. “Hopefully some students will be back because that will be fun, when we knock off the undefeated No. 1 team in the nation,” Fairman said in December. Exactly one month later, Fairman’s confident prediction came true. Now it will be seen if the same
GAME PUCK Cyclone Hockey coach Jason Fairman took a souvenir away from Saturday night’s game in the form of a game puck to honor his first win over a No. 1 ranked team as a member of the Cyclones. “I’ve gotten other pucks for my first win and things like that, so I keep them all together,” Fairman said. “They’re in my office. I don’t make a big deal out of them. It’s kind of fun to look at them every now and then to remind you of a game like this. That’s a special game for them to beat a team that’s undefeated, No. 1, hasn’t lost and has been taking it to teams.” can be said for Fairman’s next statement. “We know what we’re capable of,” Fairman said.
“The energy and things of that nature that I saw on the bench, I ask, ‘Why can’t we do that the rest of the
season?’ “I feel like if we do that we can be national champions.”
Iowa State not panicking after Baylor loss By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com After Iowa State’s 9489 loss at home to Baylor on Saturday, the Cyclones seem to already be a step behind the rest of the league. Iowa State has two conference losses in the first three games, and has lost a game on its home court. With the Big 12 as strong as it is this season, and six teams either ranked in the top-25 or receiving votes, ESPN’s Fran Fraschilla said defending the home court is the key to winning the conference title. And with the Cyclones seemingly in an early hole, ISU coach Steve Prohm made one thing clear after the game Saturday night. “You don’t panic,” Prohm said. “You stay the course. We’ll figure it out, and hopefully starting Tuesday at Texas.” Now, a home loss doesn’t ruin Iowa State’s chances at a regular season conference title. Not even close. But still, it won’t be easy. The Cyclones still have games with top-ranked Kansas, No. 17 West Virginia and Texas. No. 2 Oklahoma will come to Ames once more, and the Cyclones will head to Waco, Texas, before the season ends to take on Baylor once more. Even with such a daunting schedule ahead of them, Prohm believes they still have a chance at a

championship. “I’ve studied it all,” Prohm said. “I know it all. [Iowa State] still had a chance to win the league last year and this happened. You don’t have any nights off in this league.” Junior guard Matt Thomas, who finished Saturday’s game with eight
points and seven rebounds, said the Cyclones need to bounce back, and that starts with getting back-to-back road wins this week — something he thinks they can do. The Cyclones will head to Austin to take on Texas on Tuesday, and then to Manhattan, Kan., to play

Kansas State on Saturday. And while fans may weigh these games heavier than others, Thomas certainly isn’t. “Maybe fans and you guys think it’s added pressure, but you can’t look at it that way,” Thomas said. “We’ve just got to play.” Center Jameel McKay
agrees with Thomas, saying he knows how important these next few games will be. He’s not overcomplicating it, though. Instead, he’s recalling the Oklahoma game from a week ago. The Cyclones fell to the Sooners by four points, but were in the game until the very end. If they can play
like they did in Norman, Okla., he said, they will be fine. “[We need to] come with the same focus we did when we went to Oklahoma,” McKay said. “I think if we come with that focus against a lot of teams in the country, we’ll put ourselves in a great position to win.”

Cyclones pull out win despite ‘disinterested’ playing By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com The ISU women’s basketball team left Saturday night’s game against Kansas with a 65-49 victory, but the team, or at least ISU coach Bill Fennelly, didn’t leave Hilton Coliseum with pleasant feelings. Despite the doubledigit margin of victory, Fennelly wasn’t happy with his team’s performance. After a rough 21-point loss to Texas on Wednesday, Fennelly expected his team to come out with some extra fire against Kansas. “The biggest message is you can’t just decide what night you want to show up,” Fennelly said. “I don’t know that they weren’t happy with the way they played.

It came down to Iowa State’s effort throughout the 40 minutes. “We were disinterested for a lot of the time — nothing against Kansas,” Fennelly said. “We’ve got to be more engaged from start to finish.

EDUCATION p1 voted for the agreement originally, the required twothirds of the legislature did not sign on to call a special session. “[The veto] does break a level of trust,” said state Rep. Lisa Heddens, D-Ames. “It is going to put a strain on negotiations. I do think for our [Democratic] leaders, there will be a little more cause for concern. They’ll probably want to make sure they have something more in writing from the governors office on what they agree to and don’t agree to.” In the veto, Branstad also knocked down an agreement by the legislature to reopen mental health facilities in Clarinda and Mt. Pleasant. “I’ll put it this way — you sit down with someone, you negotiate, you come to an agreement, nobody gets everything they want but you get some of what you want, you shake hands and you sign off,” Quirmbach said. “A deal has got to be a deal, and if you can’t trust that a deal is a deal, then negotiations are going to be tougher.” House and Senate leaders told reporters at

Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad vetoed one-time funding for schools in Iowa last year. The funding would have included $2,254,079 to Iowa State, but Branstad said it was unsustainable.
the statehouse Tuesday that they were hopeful for a quick resolution, including passing funding for schools early on in the session. Education priorities this cycle As for specifics on education funding this year, Quirmbach wouldn’t speculate on an exact percentage of an increase Democrats in the Senate would push for, but he said he has “no interest” at all in passing “onetime” funds for schools this session because of the veto. Gassman made similar comments, saying he cannot name a specific
percentage increase because the estimates on state revenue continue to differ as they come in. Leaders disagreed on estimates at a news conference at the capitol on Monday. Jorgensen said on the House side, he hopes his committee will move faster and have a level of funding established in a more “timely” manner so that schools will have more time to plan. At the K-12 level, Jorgensen said another priority is address funding inequities between school districts in the state. At their September
actually impacting the students,” Heddens said. Gassman said the House will have to continue looking at state revenue for a tuition freeze, but said he is personally focused on community colleges, places where you can “spend money wisely” on job training programs. “We do as much as we can to help the regents out to keep tuition rates as low as possible,” Jorgensen said. “I think we’ve been doing a good job over the past few years, and we’ll certainly look at doing that again.” “I think we’re going to do as well as we can for education,” Quirmbach said. “My priority is funding education because I think it’s the principle investment we make in our future.” The 86th Iowa General Assembly will convene Monday, with April 19 as the target date for adjournment. Last year’s session went over schedule by several weeks as legislators negotiated on items. Branstad will deliver his annual “Condition of the State” address, where he will lay out budget and policy priorities, to a joint session of the legislature Tuesday.

meeting, the regents approved a request for a 4 percent increase in general university support. Board President Bruce Rastetter said they would revisit tuition if the legislature fails to approve the funding support. Gassman said he has had a discussion with members of the House GOP caucus and they have signaled they want to pass state funding within the first few weeks, “but if the Senate is going to battle it out again, it could be a drawn-out process.” “We’re going to come
up with what we think we need to do and go from there in the House,” Gassman said. “These [state revenue] numbers move around, so you can’t really put them in the bag so stringently.” Ben Hammes, a spokesperson for Branstad, provided an email statement to the The Daily about working toward a deal on K-12 and higher education funding. “The governor’s state goal is to hopefully reach 2.45 percent for supplemental state aid,” he said. “We look forward to working with legislators on both sides of the aisle and hope they can send the governor a school funding bill early in the session.” As for a tuition freeze, Heddens said she has spoken with students and they have said they are dealing with higher costs in areas outside of tuition. In regards to how much money the state “invests” in education versus how much a family contributes, Heddens said she would like to see the two “balance out” with more state support. “You have to look at the whole picture of what sounds like a good political soundbite and how it’s
