An Iowa State student has been charged with sexual assault and burglary by the Ames Police Tuesday. David Giera, 20, a junior in mechanical engineering, was charged with first degree burglary and third degree sexual

abuse, both felonies, after an incident that occurred about 2 a.m. Tuesday in the 3000 block of Tripp Street. A 23-year-old woman told police that her neighbor entered her apartment through an unlocked door. She said she was then sexually assaulted, according to the press release. During the assault, the victim told police

she was able to fight the man off and push him out of the apartment. Giera was arrested in his apartment after the incident. The victim and her roommate did not know Giera well, but they were acquaintances, Ames Police Sgt. Mark Watson said. Reporter Shannon McCarty contributed to this story.

Second, how can we use technology to work for us, not against us, on things such as climate change? Third, how does America stay safe without becoming the world’s police? Finally, how do you make American politics reflect what’s best in us, and not

Obama’s last address By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com President Obama veered from the usual State of the Union address that he and many presidents have delivered over the years, instead focusing on a vi-

sion rather than a series of policy proposals. Obama’s address called for a “fix” to American politics in the midst of a busy campaign season that includes more attacks every day. The White House billed the speech, which was supposed to be Obama’s vision of what America should be, as a “non-traditional” address. Here are five takeaways from Obama’s address.

1. Speech on vision, not policy Obama spent most of his time reflecting back on the last seven years in office, and what he hopes the next president will push. He went down a long list of accomplishments: America having “the strongest, most durable economy “ in the world; being in the middle of the longest streak of private-sector job growth; 14 million new jobs; unemployment cut in half; 900,000 new manufacturing jobs; and cutting the deficit by

By Christie.Smith @iowastatedaily.com Council members discussed the demolition of a greek house and an e-cigarette ban at an Ames City Council meeting Tuesday night. The council voted 6-0 on the first passage of an ordinance pertaining to electronic cigarette and nicotine delivery systems use in Ames. The council first discussed a potential e-cigarette ban at its meeting Dec. 8, 2015. Several residents, including many students from Iowa State, attended the meeting to voice their support for such a ban. In December, the Council directed the city attorney to draft an ordinance prohibiting e-cigarette use in public places. The ordinance, which council members voted on Tuesday, will ban e-cigarettes in all public places where cigarette use is already prohibited under the Smokefree Air Act, with an exception for ecigarette stores. Iowa State University enacted an e-cigarette ban on campus this month. Many students attended Tuesday’s meeting to support the ban and ask that the city enact a ban consistent with the university’s ban. The council also voted 5-1 to pass a resolution approving a demolition request for the Acacia fraternity house. The Acacia house, built in 1920, is currently home to 29 of the 45 fraternity members. The Corporate Board of the Acacians requested permission to demolish the house with the hopes to build a new house that could accommodate up to 42 members. In order to approve the demolition of a greek home, the council had to find that the house could not be used for the original intended purpose and/or that no reasonable alternative use can be identified. Sam Schulte, ex-officio representative, said that the Acacia house’s inability to accommodate each of the 45 members clearly meets the criteria for demolition. The Acacia house is located in the greek neighborhood south of campus, which is in an area of the city designated as the East University Impacted Area Overlay District created to preserve the historic and diverse architecture. The council also voted 6-0 to pass a resolution to approve a contract with Houseal Lavigne Associates from Chicago to begin plans for the Lincoln Way corridor. The Lincoln Way corridor will include housing and commercial properties. The city of Ames sent requests to 29 consulting firms requesting

Clinton talks guns, attacks Sanders at ISU By Rakiah.Bonjour @iowastatedaily.com Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton touted her stance on gun control and challenged Bernie Sanders on his stance, while also talking about the economy, health care and education during her visit to the ISU campus Tuesday morning. While making her case on why she is the best Democrat for the job, she went after Sanders’ history on guns, setting up a contrast with him just weeks from the Iowa

Caucus. Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign, introduced Clinton and offered his and the organization’s support to her campaign. The Brady Campaign, named after former White House Press Secretary James Brady, who was shot along with President Ronald Reagan, works to reduce gun deaths and gun injuries through legislation. “There probably isn’t any corporate lobby stronger or more influential in picking politicians to be elected, and intimidating them once they are, than the gun lobby,”

Clinton said. “Anybody who cares about real reform in our political system, who cares about making a difference that will — literally in this case — save lives has to stand with us against the gun lobby. That is an absolute must.” Clinton has gone after Sanders and said she would be better to stand up against the gun lobby as president. Clinton offered support to President Obama for his recent executive actions on guns while chastising fellow presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, R-Texas. “We’ve got one of the leading

candidates running for the Republican nomination, Ted Cruz, bragging that he stopped the bipartisan legislation,” she said. “Shame on you, Ted Cruz, for trying to politicize this horrible mass murder instead of working to find solutions.” Clinton shifted from gun control to speak out about involvement in bipartisan politics. “I want to make the case to you, that as high as the stakes are, given what the Republicans stand for, given what they are advocating — what they will do — should they be the winners?” Clinton asked. “We have to take this election more

seriously than any other in recent history, I really believe this is a turning point election.” Clinton also talked about her history against “trickle-down” economics, saying she “fought for the people” and voted against tax breaks for the rich while she served as a New York senator. “I say this all the time, and I hope you’ll share it with your friends — the Republicans get annoyed with me but that’s nothing new — the economy does better when we have a Democrat in the

Branstad calls for quick action By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Gov. Terry Branstad told the Iowa Legislature on Tuesday he hopes for quick action on education funding in the state this session even though budget projections are low, and hopes to pass criminal justice reform after meetings with NAACP leaders. Branstad delivered his annual Condition of the State address to a joint session of the Iowa Legislature on Tuesday morning — his first since officially becoming the nation’s longest serving governor in history. Education funding Echoing what state legislators have been saying recently, Branstad said Iowa’s revenue projections are low because of events such as the avian influenza outbreak, which Branstad called “devastating.” Lower commodity price and what he called “an increasingly competitive world” also are contributing to lower projections, the governor said. Branstad did say he is ready to increase K-12 funding in the state by more than $145 million, bringing the total cost statewide to more than $3.2 billion this year. “To make this level of funding possible, we have made tough decisions in other budget areas,” Branstad said. “It is my sincere hope the General Assembly will move quickly to approve

supplemental state aid early this session.” He did not, however, talk about funding of higher education, including the state’s three regent institutions that will all see tuition freeze either this current semester or this coming fall. He did call for a “collective” effort between state schools and community colleges to close the “skills gap” students face. Even without much talk on university funding, Board of Regents President Bruce Rastetter said in a statement after the address that he appreciates the governor’s support of public universities. “We will continue to be good stewards with the money that is appropriated to us. We will also continue to strive to find ways to be more efficient and effective with our funds,” Rastetter said. “The board is committed to working with the governor and General Assembly in the 2016 legislative session to secure the level of funding that will ensure the highest quality education for our students.” Criminal justice reform Branstad also called on the legislature to pass criminal justice reform items, saying a meeting with NAACP leaders in the state proved how important the issue was. “Ensuring the fundamental fairness of our system is a worthy goal,” Branstad said. “But a fairer

and more equitable criminal justice system also aligns with the long-term interests of taxpayers who fund our criminal justice system.” Branstad called on the legislature to pass legislation protecting children and family members from human trafficking; to combat domestic violence; to examine the funding model for Drug and Mental Health Court; and to address the confidentiality of juvenile delinquency records. Other items Branstad touched on his water quality proposal, which would extend the one-cent school tax until 2049. The plan would still send funds to schools for infrastructure projects but would also divert some funds away toward water quality initiatives Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, the former Democratic governor of Iowa, has endorsed the plan. He also discussed Iowa’s plan to shift Medicaid to private-managed care, saying the plan is necessary because of the growing cost of the program that provides health care to the poor. “If the state fails to implement managed care, the growth of Medicaid spending will consume virtually all of our revenue growth,” Branstad said. Branstad also called for continuing toward renewable, reliable and low-cost clean energy, saying they “meet our needs” in the

state. “Iowa could be the first state in the nation to meet 40 percent of our energy needs from wind power by 2020; far ahead of any other state,” Branstad said. “The extension of the Federal Wind Energy Tax Credit will also help us grow wind investments and jobs in Iowa.” Branstad’s overall budget, which can be viewed here, is again balanced and stable, the governor’s office said, and fits within five-year budget projections. Democratic response Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, told Iowa Public Television after the event that while he did not want to talk about it much, he was surprised Branstad would take credit for the wind energy program, which Gronstal said was only possible because of legislative action. He said the legislature got word of the push for criminal justice reform Monday, but he was somewhat surprised at the governor’s willingness to endorse those types of reforms. Gronstal also said he was disappointed that the governor did not talk about higher education funding more in his speech, saying Democrats are focused on growing the middle class, which includes controlling the cost of tuition. House Minority Leader Mark Smith, D-Marshalltown, said in a statement that he agrees with the push for closing the “skills gap”

Dean celebrates last ISU days By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com Pamela Anthony, outgoing dean of students, is known by many as someone who is adventurous, always there for others and a woman with style. To her closest friends, family and fellow staff, however, she is much more. At her reception ceremony Tuesday afternoon in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union, Anthony, adorned in a bright green jacket and a big smile, sat in front of the podium as the people she has met at Iowa State these past four years got to say their final goodbye. Anthony will move on to become the vice president for Student Affairs at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. President Steven Leath began the reception with a few words describing his reaction to Anthony announcing her departure. “When Pamela told me she was leaving, I gave her kind of the best compli-

ment I could and I told her how disappointed her boss was that she was leaving,” Leath said. “I told her she should think about that, because when your boss is sad that you’re going, that’s a good thing.” Leath went on to say that he believes that Anthony’s ceiling is higher and that her future is bright. Dawn Bratsch-Prince, associate provost of world languages and cultures, then went on to discuss her first meeting with Anthony. “It was seven o’clock in the morning and you [Anthony] were bright eyed and fashionable,” BratschPrince said. Bratsch-Prince also touched on some of Anthony’s accomplishments while dean such as charting a refocused mission of the women’s center, training academic leaders and department chairs and enhancing student safety.

Student Government will vote to confirm a number of new senators and a new public relations chairperson, as well as a first reading of a funding bill for CySwap at its first meeting of the spring semester Wednesday night. Student Government will vote to seat Zach Murrell, senior in mechanical engineering, and Khayree Fitten, junior in political science, to the United Residents of Off Campus committee. The university affairs committee has two open seats that need to be filled. Nominees will be discussed by Student Government on Wednesday.

OBAMA p1 what’s worst? After laying out certain policy, he also called for systematic change in American politics, and to work together, regardless of party. “So, my fellow Americans, whatever you may believe, whether you prefer one party or no party, our collective future depends on your willingness to uphold your obligations as a citizen,” Obama said. “To vote. To speak out. To stand up for others, especially the weak, especially the vulnerable, knowing that each of us is only here because somebody, somewhere, stood up for us. To stay active in our public life so it reflects the goodness and decency and optimism that I see in the American people every single day.” 2. Obama: Change our politics Obama said opportunity and security, a rising standard of living, and a sustainable, peaceful planet for kids is “all within our reach,” but only if we change our politics in the country. “A better politics doesn’t mean we have to agree on everything,” he said. “This is a big country, with different regions and attitudes and interests. That’s one of our strengths, too.” Changing the president, our senators and representatives, is not enough, he said. It will take a change in the system. “We have to end the practice of drawing our congressional districts so that politicians can pick their voters, and not the other way around,” Obama said. “We have to reduce the influence of money in our politics, so that a handful of families and hidden interests can’t bankroll our elections — and if our exist-

CELEBRATION p3 fairs, then spoke about Anthony’s dedication and commitment to her work. “Whenever you take a job, you’re supposed to leave it better than you find it,” Hill said, referring to what Anthony has done during the past four years. “Student Affairs is a 24/7 and 365-day commitment,

ing approach to campaign finance can’t pass muster in the courts, we need to work together to find a real solution. We’ve got to make voting easier, not harder, and modernize it for the way we live now.” He said change would only happen, though, if the American people demand it. 3. Foreign policy in time of fear Obama dismissed fears from recent terror attacks and the rise of terrorist groups, such as ISIS, are a major threat to the United States, instead calling terror concerns “rhetoric” that have no basis. “I told you earlier all the talk of America’s economic decline is political hot air,” Obama said. “Well, so is all the rhetoric you hear about our enemies getting stronger and America getting weaker. The United States of America is the most powerful nation on Earth. Period. It’s not even close.” Sticking with his vision theme, Obama said, “Leadership means a wise application of military power, and rallying the world behind causes that are right.” He also called on Congress to take a vote on officially declaring war on ISIS, but said it’s not a war against the entire religion of Islam, “but killers and fanatics who have to be rooted out, hunted down and destroyed.” “We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. This isn’t a matter of political correctness. It’s a matter of understanding what makes us strong,” Obama said. “When politicians insult Muslims, when a mosque is vandalized, or a kid bullied, that doesn’t make us safer. That’s not telling it like it is. It’s just wrong. It diminishes us in

the eyes of the world. It makes it harder to achieve our goals. And it betrays who we are as a country.” 4. Republican response from rising GOP star South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, a Republican who has been floated as a possible nominee for vice president, delivered the official response — although the Republicans called it another “address to the nation” instead of a usual response. “The president’s record has often fallen far short of his soaring words. As he enters his final year in office, many Americans are still feeling the squeeze of an economy too weak to raise income levels,” Haley said. “Soon, the Obama presidency will end, and America will have the chance to turn in a new direction. That direction is what I want to talk about tonight.” Obama called out Republicans for their “rhetoric” on foreign policy threats, but Haley said the United States is facing the most serious terror threat since 9/11, and the “president appears either unwilling or unable to deal with it.” In the midst of campaigning not only in Iowa, but her state of South Carolina, which votes shortly after Iowa, Haley said a Republican elected to the White House would take America toward a different vision, such as lower tax for “working families,” a stop to “runaway spending and debt,” changes to how international agreements are made and strengthening the military. “We have big decisions to make. Our country is being tested,” Haley said. “But we’ve been tested in the past, and our people have always risen to the challenge. We have all the guid-

ance we need to be safe and successful. Our forefathers paved the way for us. Let’s take their values, and their strengths, and rededicate ourselves to doing whatever it takes to keep America the greatest country in the history of man.” 5. Iowa’s take U.S. Rep. Steve King, RIowa, who represents Ames and Iowa State, decided to skip attending the address, instead announcing early Tuesday that he would be “praying for God to raise up a leader whom he will use to restore the Soul of America.” He also left an open seat in the House chamber; similar to what Obama opted to do to commemorate victims of gun violence. King’s open seat, he said in a press release, was “to commemorate the lives of more than 55 million

aborted babies” U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, RIowa, said in an interview with The Daily on Tuesday morning that she was hoping the president would “take the interests of the American people to heart,” but “she wasn’t sure that would happen.” U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said in a statement that Obama downplaying the terrorist threat has been “alarming,” his economic policy offers “little in terms of real solutions,” and his “rhetoric on economic growth is at cross purposes with the regulations coming out of the executive branch.” “The Republican-led Congress will continue to fight for the economic growth that made America the envy of the world and will work to keep our

country strong in the face of increasing dangers from those who want to destroy our way of life,” Grassley said. U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack, the only Democrat in Iowa’s Congressional Delegation, said he appreciates the president’s ideas, agrees with him on his call to expand education and job training, and also applauded his ideas on clean energy, which he said Iowa has been a “longtime champion” of. “I especially appreciate the president’s call to set aside politics and work together,” Loebsack said. “None of our priorities will be possible if Congress can’t put aside the partisan gridlock and ideological divisions that have threatened our economy time and again.

and no one understands better than those of you in the Dean of Students Office.” Hill ended by saying that Southern Methodist was very lucky to have Anthony because of her charisma, dedication and passion. Hillary Kletscher, former Student Government president, and Chrishelda

Green, senior in child, adult and family services, then touched on the impact Anthony left on them. Speaking about Anthony’s availability, Kletscher focused on the moment that defined their relationship and impact. “She was my person I could call at anytime and she would be there to offer me advice,” Kletscher

said. “Those moments mattered and those moments changed people’s lives.” Green described Anthony as the aunt who hugs her just tight enough to squeeze out her fears. She also said that because of Anthony, she also aspires to be an eventual dean of students. “Whoever it is has some big, pretty extensive

and fashionable heels to fill,” Green said, referring to the next dean of students. Anthony ended the reception with a few words. Mentioning that her job would sometimes be lonely, she said, “You do it because you believe that’s what you’ve been called to do.” After speaking about her initial reaction to cam-

pus, of which she remembers commenting on all of the students lying on the grass on Central Campus, Anthony said, “To be honest, I didn’t know what I was getting into.” Anthony then said thank you to everyone she met on campus. “I will always, always, cherish my time here,” Anthony said.

Syrian and Iraq refugees travel to Greece. One Iowa State student argues that the U.S. and Iowa, specifically, should welcome refugees.

Wikimedia Commons

Syrians deserve more By Alexander Doser Senior in mathematics Anti-Jewish sentiment reached a boiling point in Russia in 1881 after the assassination of the tsar was inaccurately pinned on Jews. A wave of pogroms (Russian for massacres) swept the countryside like an un-contained rage, wiping out homes as well as the lives of many Jewish men, women, and children. Survivors awoke to a new order of discriminatory policies, forcing many into extreme poverty, while the constant hostility of neighbors made Russia nearly unlivable. Naturally many fled — more than 2 million Jews escaped their oppressive homeland over a 40-year period. Many sought refuge in a land that boasted a strong record of welcoming the tired, the poor and the downtrodden. The United States became an ideal refuge, and a stream of Russian Jews began their relocation process. Among that stream were Louis and Gertrude Garland, who found home in Iowa, laying down roots that would last for generations. The Garlands’ story is an important one to note given recent events, as Louis and Gertrude are the grandparents of our very own Gov. Terry Branstad. The story here is hardly unique. Many of us, whether known or unknown, are descendants of immigrants who escaped harsh, unthinkable conditions to rebuild themselves in the land of the American Dream.

It is therefore so disheartening to see Gov. Branstad announce his decision to block Syrian refugees from entering our state. The governor had first hinted he may in fact allow their settlement in Iowa but quickly backtracked after a contingency of Republican governors offered a unified refusal to take any refugees in their own states. Branstad’s decision reeks of orchestration by a party elite, and it’s disappointing to see a state which once offered sanctuary for our governor’s own ancestors not offer that same hand today. It’s easy to whitewash our own histories, to think of ourselves as uniquely American-blooded, to stare directly at the great humanitarian crisis of the new millennium and feel vacant. Many of us have been granted a remarkable opportunity, one we have done nothing to earn ourselves. We have been placed in the most prosperous nation in the world thanks to the sacrifice of our immigrant ancestors; thanks to a lax immigration system that, until only somewhat recently, allowed ostensibly anyone to come here relatively easily; and thanks to a national commitment to this American Dream that allowed those individuals to thrive. But the collective ignorance of our own histories, of our own former foreignness in this land, has unfortunately meant we have no problem pulling away the ladder from those trying to earn what we’ve already been handed. Branstad has cited security concerns, claiming a lack of transparency

in the background checks done by intelligence officers. This deflection is quite weak. As The Economist wrote: “If a potential terrorist is determined to enter America to do harm, there are easier and faster ways to get there than by going through the complex refugee resettlement process.” The magazine also cited that, since 9/11, 750,000 refugees have resettled in America, and there is not even a single case of any one of those refugees planning an attack on American soil. Looking back to the story of Branstad’s ancestors, there seems to me an obvious parallel. Security concerns around the Jewish population were not unusual in the America of that time, as the Civil War just a couple decades earlier saw both the North and South accusing the Jews of abetting the enemy. During the time of this mass resettlement of Russian Jews, major figures such as Henry Adams warned publicly of a concerted effort by the Jews to take over the country. It is hard to shake the sense of repeated history, of cultural exclusion, of unjustified fears, that could lead to such simple callousness in the face of complete devastation. I urge my fellow ISU students to write to the governor’s office and let him know that you stand against his efforts. It is in the backbone of this country to be that glimmering city on a hill, and we must never let bitter partisanship get in the way of our most primal humanity. The people of Syria deserve better.

Kasich best qualified for president By Brian Voss Senior in history Throughout the last calendar year we have seen a lot of promises made by presidential candidates. Issues have become the center of campaigns across the country, as voters everywhere try to find the candidates who they agree with most. While I tend to look at the issues, I also consider the experience necessary to be the next commander in chief of the United States, and John Kasich is the candidate who has that experience. Governor Kasich’s resume is unmatched by any candidate in either party. He represented Ohio in the House of Representatives for eighteen years, serving on the Armed Services Commit-

tee throughout that time. He also chaired the House Budget Committee in 1997 and was a chief architect of the deal that balanced the federal budget for the first time since 1969. Serving as Governor of Ohio since 2010, he has helped turn around a state in a recession, creating well over 300,000 private sector jobs, and closing an eight million dollar budget shortfall without raising taxes. Governor Kasich won re-election in Ohio in 2014 winning 64 percent of the vote. Ohioans have continued to be pleased with him as an October poll showed he has a 62 percent job approval rating. Shouldn’t we elect a president who is well liked in his own state? Anyone can discuss the issues, but only one candidate in either party has both the ex-

Recently, I’ve been seeing a fair amount about climate change in the media, and I feel compelled to voice my opinion. For the past 18 years and 9 months, the global temperature trend has been 0.0K per decade. This may surprise some, but one of our best and most consistent ways of measuring global temperature — the Remote Sensing Systems satellite — shows this

to be true. Even taking into account all data since 1980, the trend is a mild 1.2K per century on a temperature sensor that isn’t situated at an airport or in a parking lot next to an air conditioner exhaust, both of which are real sensors used to generate temperature data for the United States Historical Climatology Network. I would like to draw attention to not only the questionable science used but also the huge economic damage that has already been done by and will

Support clean fuel in Iowa By Emily Putze Junior in Agronomy As an Iowa State University student in an agriculture-focused major, I am passionate about subjects that benefit agriculture, Iowans and Americans in general. One very pertinent subject is the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The goal of the RFS is to produce clean energy products, which not only benefits Iowans but people worldwide. The RFS makes a large impact while supporting Iowa’s farmers, the future careers of my fellow students, myself and more than 73,000 pre-existing jobs. The RFS develops cleaner and cheaper fuel that lessens our dependence on foreign oil. We as Iowans know how important it is to be good stewards of our resources, to promote sustainability as consumers, and to select others who follow those same goals. With the upcoming elections, I urge you to support a candidate who will in turn support the RFS. Working to enhance and better America is something that we should all be proud of.

Become informed on climate change By Maxwell Metcalf-Putnam Senior in physics

Iowa takes part in multiple forms of renewable clean energy, including windmills.

happen because of our response to this illusory danger. Take for example the energy sector, where the effects are easily calculable. Most renewable energy exists almost solely on the government’s back. Over the past five years, subsidies given to wind and solar industries total about $160 billion, almost half of all energy subsidies given. If that money were put to good use, it would build 40, 1-gigawatt nuclear reactors powering 29 million homes at a rate of 2.1 cents/kWhr.

Wind and solar would both cost nearly $400 billion to install the same amount of energy generation — real not capacity — at about twice and 10 times the rate respectively. I’m not asking readers of this to take my word; I would simply like to ask if you’ve ever actually sought out dissenting views on this or other issues. If not, I would suggest looking at climatecurious.com and think of the economic ramifications that some policies would have on our society.

Question: What bipartisan, commonsense law enacted in 2005 under President Bush is directly responsible for creating more than 73,000 Iowa jobs, providing more than $5 billion in wages to Iowa workers, decreasing United States dependence on foreign oil, and increasing choices at the pump for American consumers? Answer: The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). As far as “commonsense” goes, the RFS seems like the dictionary definition. Renewable fuels like ethanol and biodiesel are cleaner for the environment than typical motor oil, are homegrown and locally processed, and loosen the grip Big Oil has on the motor fuel industry. What could be more American? Despite sounding like a nobrainer, the RFS is under threat from Big Oil special interests. They would rather monopolize the industry than give Americans an alternative choice at the pump. It’s time Iowans spoke up. Iowa’s position as the firstin-the-nation caucus gives us a special opportunity to influence visiting presidential candidates. Plenty of candidates on both sides of the aisle see the importance of protecting the RFS, but there is still time to influence the others. Protect your choice at the pump, protect Iowa jobs and wages, and make sure your candidate supports a strong and enduring RFS.

Legislature must make education funding a priority

Charlie Coffey/Iowa State Daily

Wearing a condom is one of multiple types of birth control available for men and are available at residence hall desks across campus on certain days of the week. Columnist Lawson believes men should be held just as accountable as women when it comes to birth control.

Hold men accountable Male contraceptives level birth control responsibilities By Angelica.Lawson @iowastatedaily.com

et’s play a quick game of ‘Would You Rather?’; would you rather wear a bulletproof vest or be shot by a gun with an empty chamber? Women have been tasked with the responsibility of birth control even though they cannot get pregnant without the sperm of men. Doesn’t it make sense to dismantle the sperm instead of making the uterus “impenetrable?” While that game of ‘Would You Rather?’ seems completely unrelated, it actually reflects the way that birth control has worked for both genders and why the addition of male birth control actually makes a lot of sense. It should be noted that male birth control does not imply that men should have to take a little pill at the same time every day, which women have so long had to do. Birth control, quite literally, means controlling the time at which a man and woman choose to conceive a child. Since both parties should be involved in making that choice, both genders should be charged with putting up strong barriers for the times that conceiving a child is unwanted. Many options are available for men to prevent pregnancy, including vasectomies. While this is the most drastic option, it is a semi-permanent solution because it can, in some cases, be reversed. This type of birth control is not the right fit for every man, however. Other options include condomsand abstinence, but when you think about the options for men, that’s really all

that is available. For women, the birth control options are vast: the classic pill, the patch, IUDs, implants, the sponge, vaginal rings, the shot and many more. Why is this such a one-sided conversation when “it takes two to tango?” Men should have more options to prevent pregnancy and be active in their family planning. Different forms of male birth control exist, but they are not yet on the U.S. market. There is Vasalgel, a gel substance that is injected into the sperm distributing tube outside of each testicle and blocks the sperm from reaching its final destination, similar to a filter. Vasalgel can last up to 10 years, and if the male decides that he wants to have children before 10 years are up, he can flush out the Vasalgel. Vasalgel is unavailable for men on the U.S. market and is in a clinical trial for animals and awaiting human trials. MENT is an implant for men that is similar to Nexplanon. It is embedded under the skin and releases a synthetic testosterone to decrease sperm cell production. It is a longterm and minimal solution. MENT is not available in the U.S. market but is currently in phase two of its clinical trial. Nestorone gel is a gel contraceptive that is applied to the arm or abdomen that essentially shuts off the sperm-producing hormones in men. This form of birth control is not permanent and is short-term. Two pills, Gendarussa and Eppin, are now available to men and are making their way around the world. Gendarussa is a plant-based contraceptive that makes sperm unable to penetrate the egg that inhibits fertilization. Eppin is essentially an anti-eppin drug. It is a protein that covers the surface of sperm. The protein is bound to the sperm until an enzyme removes semenogelin, a protein in seminal fluid that allows the sperm

to swim to the egg. The Eppin contraceptive binds to the eppin protein, making the sperm unable to swim because it resembles the semenogelin binding before ejaculation. I have named five new alternatives to the currently available male contraceptives that are all good solutions and put the responsibility of family planning in the hands of the male party. The alternatives are not approved in our country yet, but other countries are conducting clinical trials and getting them ready to make their market appearance. So why not us? I don’t have one single reason because there are so many, including money. Pharmaceutical companies stand to lose money by putting these on the market because male contraceptives have a longer life than female contraceptives, so they do not need to be purchased as frequently. Another possibility is that funding for the drug trials is hard to come by. If there was a larger outcry for more male contraceptives, there would need to be an increase in funding for these medications. To be blunt, there is no plain answer as to why there are not more male contraceptives on the market. We have the technology and the means, so why are they not being approved by the FDA for market sale when they have been successful in other drug trials? Male contraceptives would provide relief to women and level out the responsibility of both parties. Female contraceptives are effective because they manipulate the hormones and have different varying side effects. Male contraceptives would essentially do the same but take it a step further. They would eliminate the necessary “ingredients” to make a child. Male contraceptives are better alternatives and give men the opportunity to be in charge of their fertility.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Invest in safer Lincoln Way for pedestrians By Jared Morford, master’s student in community and regional planning focusing on bicyclcle and pedestrian transportation To Iowa State University, the city of Ames and residents, I’d like to express my deepest condolences to the friends and family of Emmalee Jacobs for their loss. I lost a best friend to a hit-and-run cycling accident this summer in Des Moines. Not a day goes by I do not think about him. Unfortunately, the death of Emmalee shines a tragic light on the glaring fact that if you are a pedestrian on Lincoln Way near Iowa State University you are in harms way. Lincoln Way was primarily designed with cars in mind and pedestrians secondary. The area around Lincoln Way and campus has the highest density of people living in Ames and will continue to grow as more high-rise housing and student dormitories are built. Both the city of Ames and Iowa State University need to recon-

sider how they view this area, putting a priority on pedestrian safety. Regardless of the intersection the fatality occurred in part because the city of Ames and Iowa State University fail to work together in locations where ISU property and city property intersect, this institutional lack of courage by both organizations to communicate produces spaces that are neglected in both a policy and planning perspective. The result

is places that are not safe for Ames residents or ISU students. It is completely unacceptable to expect anyone who is attempting to walk to campus should have to engage in the real life version of the old arcade game Frogger, dodging traffic and running to the middle boulevard for safety from oncoming traffic. Especially, when Iowa State University claims to be a walking campus. Making Lincoln Way safe for pedestrians will require Iowa

State University officials, city of Ames Officials and residents to be leaders and make decisions for the safety of everyone and not the convenience of driving. You get what you plan. If you plan for cars, you get all the issues surrounding automobiles. If you plan for people you make a place where people feel safe and want to be. People want to live Ames and easily access Iowa State University by foot. To the engineers, planners and officials, high-visibility signage does not make anywhere more accessible or safer for pedestrians. If you need a metric by which to measure the safety of Lincoln Way consider whether or not you would let your own children cross the street by themselves near campus. Every parent who sends their child to Ames and Iowa State University is entrusting you with the responsibility of their young adults. Ames and ISU’s greatest asset is its residents, students, staff and faculty. Invest in them by keeping them safe.

Just as a new school year at Iowa State began Monday, so did the new Iowa legislative session. And since it entered the new year hand-in-hand with some of the state’s higher education institutions, the legislature should spend time this session making university funding a priority, which is something that didn’t happen previously. Recently, Iowa’s state government has failed its state’s universities and the students who attend them. Last year, while the legislature passed a bill to provide funding for the schools in hopes of avoiding a tuition increase in the spring of 2016, Governor Branstad used a line-item veto to strike out specific funds, more than $2 million for Iowa State, calling them “unsustainable.” After the governor’s veto, the Iowa Board of Regents voted to raise tuition 3 percent for undergraduate in-state students at Northern Iowa and Iowa State for the spring 2016 semester and 3 percent for Iowa during the fall 2016 semester. The tuition increase, coupled with Iowa’s higher-than-average student debt, shows that our state needs to take action and help our students. Undergraduate students in the state of Iowa graduate with more than $29,000 in debt, according to the Institute for College Access and Success. This number ranks Iowa eighth in the country for most average student debt of graduates. Additionally, 68 percent of Iowa’s students graduate with debt from a four-year institution. Unfortunately, these statistics on student debt are far too high for a state that should pride itself on education. With that much debt, is it reasonable to expect that Iowa students can be as successful after graduation? With the pressure of making loan payments as well as making ends meet on a starting career salary, starting life in true, adulthood is stressful to say the least. In an interview with The Daily, President Steven Leath said this upcoming year will be a “tough budget year” and the university will be asking for more than $8 million in overall funding. He went on to say that because Iowa State educates many Iowans, about 21,000, which is more than the other major state schools, he is hopeful the school will get the needed resources to maintain university quality for students. “The legislature needs to know if they give us money, we will use it wisely. We won’t waste it. They need to know there is a lot of Iowa kids here so it makes sense for Iowa tax money to come here. And they need to know we care about the state,” Leath said. During its upcoming session, the Iowa legislature must place a focus on higher education and the amount of debt students currently compile, because, as college students ourselves, we see the value of not only education but also what young successful professionals can contribute to our state. Education of young adults is vital to our state’s future, meaning Iowa legislatures cannot afford to inflict so much debt on its college students. Not only would the current rate damage graduate success but it could ultimately cause damage to the state in entirety.

Former ISU trainer reaches NHL By Austin.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com

What does Joe Huff love about his job?

Joe Huff found himself at the 49th annual National Athletic Trainers Association convention in Baltimore, Md., in June of 1998. Just a month before, Huff had graduated from Iowa State with a bachelor’s degree in exercise and sports science. On that June day, he scanned the job posting board at the convention and was forced to make a choice. He could apply for a job to be an athletic trainer in Georgia with the Macon Whoopee of the Central Hockey League, or head back to college for one more year and earn a master’s degree. He applied for the job. He got it. “I got my master’s in the school of hard knocks, traveling in bus leagues,” Huff said. He started at one of the lower rungs of the hockey ladder, but just 15 years later, Huff climbed to the top as the head athletic trainer of the Anaheim Ducks of the NHL. His first paid opportunity came in Macon, but his start in athletic training came at Iowa State. He began with the football and wrestling teams, but his passion jump-started when he joined Cyclone Hockey as an athletic trainer in 1996. He became the head

Joe Huff looks onto the ice as the head athletic trainer for the Anaheim Ducks. Huff received the position when it became vacant in 2013. Huff was the former head trainer for Cyclone Hockey from 1997-98.

trainer for Cyclone Hockey the next year. “He was every bit a part of the team as anyone else on the team,” said former Cyclone Hockey defenseman Bob Dressel, who was on the team during Huff’s tenure. “We all practiced Monday through Thursday

for two hours, we all traveled together and he was there every day with us from the first day of classes to the end of the season.” Huff never suited up for the Cyclones, but he remembers many of the moments from the two seasons he was with the team. One

“I think the best part of my job would be the same thing that would be the best part for any athletic trainer,” Huff said. “And that’s seeing an injury all the way through the full cycle. From when they go down on the field and they’re disappointed and upset, obviously they’re in pain. “You help get them evaluated, then you start the ball rolling to getting them treatments, to rehab, to any doctor appointments necessary and then getting them back on the field. Then to see them get back to the level they were before or even better than before if you can do that. “That’s the ultimate goal and the reason any athletic trainer would get into the profession.” of his fondest memories is Cyclone Hockey hosting the national championship tournament in 1998 at Hilton Coliseum. They finished third. “It was a lot of work, but it was a lot of fun,” Huff said. Huff’s statement still applies today as he works

with professional hockey players within the Ducks’ organization. On many days, he puts in well over 12 hours, coming in at 7 a.m. and not leaving until after the game has finished. The grind of his athletic training career has been taxing not only on himself but also on his family, which consists of his wife, who is from his same hometown of Marshalltown, Iowa, and two daughters, who are 13 and 10. After Huff got his professional start in Macon, he moved back to his home state of Iowa to work as the head athletic trainer of the Des Moines Buccaneers. Huff moved his family back to Georgia six seasons later to work with the Augusta Lynx. His move to the Lynx, Anaheim’s East Coast Hockey League affiliate, started his connection with the Ducks. He then moved to Anaheim’s American Hockey League Affiliate, the Iowa Chops. Huff’s return to his home state didn’t last long, as the Ducks’ affiliation moved to Syracuse, N.Y., two years later. It moved again after another two years to Norfolk, Va., in 2012. The head athletic trainer position opened with the Ducks in 2013. Since Huff had worked with all three levels of the organization, he was the ideal fit for Anaheim’s NHL team.

“I think when you graduate, you have the idea that [working in the NHL] would be great,” Huff said. “Working with professional hockey was what I thought would be really fun, but I don’t know if I ever consciously set that as the goal.” Huff has averaged moving his family nearly every two years, living in seven different cities as an athletic trainer during the last 15 years. Nevertheless, Huff has found himself working in the NHL, but it hasn’t always been easy on him or his family. “It’s a long and windy road,” Huff said. “It’s definitely not for the faint of heart and it takes an understanding, very supportive family. “I am lucky in that aspect to say the least.” Huff has been making sacrifices since he was a student living in Ames. Instead of being a part of the more glamourous sports such as football and basketball, he chose to be a part of Cyclone Hockey. That has helped him get to where he is today, doing something what most young athletic trainers only dream of: being the head athletic trainer of a professional sports team. “[Cyclone Hockey] is not a varsity program. It’s not something where people go from there to the next level,” Dressel said. “And Joe did it.”

ISU freshman forward ready to ‘step up’ By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com When ISU coach Bill Fennelly’s 11:30 a.m. Monday press conference rolled around, he had already moved on. Just a couple hours earlier, Fennelly’s starting forward, Bryanna Fernstrom, had walked into his office and requested her release from Iowa State. Fern strom’s request did come as a surprise, but Fennelly’s focus had already shifted to “the kids who want to be here.” Now with Fernstrom out of the Cyclone lineup for good, Fennelly has two true forwards to work with for the rest of the season, Meredith Burkhall and Claire Ricketts. But he and his coaching staff have been dealing with lack of depth all season, so that doesn’t bother him so much. “It doesn’t change anything for me,” Fennelly said.

“We have kids in the program that love playing at Iowa State and love playing hard. We’ll have to get more creative. For me, it’s always been the same.”

Ryan Young/Iowa State Daily

Freshman Meredith Burkhall makes a move to the basket against Concordia St. Paul on Nov. 8, 2015.

Fennelly has been creative with his lineup ever since the injury to TeeTee Starks in December. He has

primarily gone with a fourguard, one-forward lineup, but he occasionally has gone with a three-guard, two-forward approach. This time around, it’s going to be on Burkhall’s freshman shoulders to take over the loss of minutes. Burkhall averages 17.3 minutes per game on the season, just under three minutes less than Fernstrom. But in Big 12 play — the last four games — Burkhall has averaged a minute more than Fernstrom. Burkhall drew her fourth start of the season against Kansas on Saturday — and her first in Big 12 play — because of her recent success, Fennelly said. “[Burkhall] earned [the start],” Fennelly said after the game Saturday. “She’s played the best out of all the forwards recently. We thought the pace of the game would air on the side of someone who has scored the ball a little bit. [Burkhall] has done that. Obvi-

ously, we have struggled in the post recently.” But even with a bigger uptick in minutes and more starts, Burkhall is ready to go. “I’m going to have step up,” Burkhall said. “Just like all the other posts on the team. We’re going to have to work together as a team. With our actions, we’re going to have to build and change some things.” This isn’t the first big loss that Fennelly has dealt with this season. Starks underwent knee surgery that likely ended her season in

December. Her position, point guard, was a thin position for the Cyclones, but Fennelly has still managed to make it work. In that case, backup guard Emily Durr saw an increase in minutes, and Jadda Buckley took on a larger role as the only true point guard on the team. Seanna Johnson also shared some time taking the ball up the court. Although Burkhall and Ricketts will see the majority of lost playing time, Fennelly said there is no set plan for the team go-

ing forward in terms of the starting lineup. It’s going to come down to a game-bygame basis. “We’re going to play the players that match up with the opponent,” Fennelly said. “I think everything is game-to-game. We’ve predominately been a four-guard, one-post team 85 percent of the time, so I don’t think that will change. Some of the opportunity to go bigger will be affected, but that’s what the coaches have to come up with, and hopefully the players will adapt to that.”

SELF Spring into the new semester 8

Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2016

By Rebecca.Haars @iowastatedaily.com Escaping the bingewatching, countless naps and endless snacks routine can be rough for many students returning to college after winter break. One of the first things any student should do before he or she starts a new semester is to review the previous one. Look at which classes were weak areas that might need some extra focus this upcoming semester. Also look at classes that were strong points and can be completed in a breeze. Set goals for this semester that are achievable based on last semester’s grades to encourage raising the bar a little higher. Remembering where and when to be somewhere is a struggle for the chaotic life of a student. Investing in a daily planner is always

a good idea. Being able to write down when something needs to be done — appointments, tests, work, etc. — makes life easier when it comes to planning other events. Start an organized day the right way by eating breakfast. Breakfast is essential when preparing for morning classes. While it may be hard to find time some mornings, make it a priority to go grocery shopping to buy some simple, easy breakfast foods. Some options can include a box of granola bars and bundle of bananas. Make sure to not forget anything along the way by using sticky notes. Say goodbye to the hectic and forgetful student college life and hello to this helpful reminder of a friend. Jot down little notes for anything from laundry (on your dresser or closet) to your professor’s office hours (in

your planner or binder), so important info will be right at your fingertips. While planners and sticky notes may come in handy for keeping a schedule straight, students do not always remember what was taught in class. Finding a study buddy is a very important part to the beginning of this semester. However, remember to take studying one day at a time. Doing a little bit of studying each day will make the night before the test a lot less stressful. While getting back into the habit of class is important, don’t forget about relaxing and free time. Everyone needs a break every once in awhile. Thankfully, many activities are available on campus that do not require homework. Students can go to State Gym, Cyclone Cinema, Work Space or even join a new club or intramural sport.

Iowa State Daily

One option students can use to get ready for the new semester is to keep an organized planner. Planners allow students to jot down appointments, test dates and work schedules.

Set realistic resolutions for new year By Megan.Dale @iowastatedaily.com At the beginning of each new year, it is extremely easy to feel ambitious in making changes in your life. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But it’s not exactly good, either, as setting your sights too high can lead to feeling defeated and let down before January even ends. It’s a good idea this year to set some realistic New Year’s Resolutions that can be more easily achieved. 1. Have fruits and veggies on your plate every day. This one seems simple, and it should. It’s always easier to add things to your diet than to take things

away, so telling yourself to add fruits and veggies to your plate will leave you feeling like you’re getting more, not like you’re depriving yourself and getting less. It’s also easier to maintain good habits when you take it day by day. It’s not about the choices you’re making a week from now, it’s about the ones you make in the present, and if the choices you make day after day are healthy ones, then your overall health will improve. 2. Try meditating twice a week. We fail to notice the fact that our brain is constantly working. It’s always thinking and never gets time to relax — until we close our eyes to sleep

at night. Luckily, though, meditation is a way to slow down your brain, and to get it to relax, even if it is only for five minutes. Meditation comes in many different forms, and finding one that works for you can be beneficial to your health. Whether it’s something as simple as taking the time to focus on your breathing, or something as intricate as your favorite yoga poses, there’s something for everyone. Making a promise to yourself to try meditation at least two times a week is a great resolution that will leave you feeling more positive and more in control of your life. 3. Walk to class more than you ride the bus. At Iowa State, we are

COMPARE TEXTBOOK PRICES BEFORE YOU BUY!

spoiled with an amazing bus system. There’s a route for wherever it is you need to go. The convenience of the app on our phones to tell us when and where our bus will arrive just contributes more to our laziness. And although it’s not as realistic in these frigid first months of the year, walking to class as much as possible is still something to keep in mind. Put on an extra layer and brave the cold. The walking will warm you up before you know it, and the extra movement will help keep you healthy. These resolutions aren’t groundbreaking or major, and that’s OK.

CITY COUNCIL p1 for the project. Seven of the 29 firms responded to the request. The Planning and Zoning Commission ranked the seven responding firms based on their qualifications and experience in certain areas including urban design, architecture and multi-modal transportation. The top three firms were invited to Ames to present their proposals to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The three firms were then evaluated again. Houseal Lavigne Associates was chosen by the

commission as most qualified for the project, despite the fact that its fee proposal was the highest at $86,140. The lowest fee proposal out of the group was $78,500. Council members discussed continuing lease agreements for several parks in Ames. Five parks, or portions of parks, have been leased from Iowa State for more than 40 years. These leases expired March 1, 2015, but were amended to extend to Jan. 31, 2016. The city has met with ISU representatives to renew the leases on many of the city parks.

The parks in question indlude: Brookside, Franklin, McDonald Woods, Stuart Smith and Zumwalt Trail Railroad. The new lease agreement includes several changes, including a change in rent fees from $1 annually to free of charge based on the city’s commitment to maintain the parks. The new lease agreement would extend to Jan. 1, 2066. The council then voted 6-0 to pass a resolution to approve the lease agreement. The Board of Regents will take action on the leases during its February meeting.

CLINTON p1 White House,” Clinton said. “My goal is to raise income on the middle class, not raise taxes on the middle class.” Clinton offered her respect and admiration for fellow Democratic candidates, Sanders, and Gov. Martin O’Malley, saying she is “proud to stand on stage with them” but she did not treat the other Republicans candidates as lightly. “There’s a difference between us,” Clinton said. “I want to defend the Affordable Care Act, I think it was a single, historic accomplishment that our country finally reached. No, I don’t think it’s perfect, but do I think it’s a

great foundation? Yes.” Her campaign has also been going after Sanders, especially in the midst of the Brady Campaign endorsement, for his history of votes against gun control. The campaign has singled in on a vote he made in the Senate that would not shield gun manufacturers from liability in deaths. Clinton discussed education and that community college should be free and four-year universities should be debt-free. “We can transform how young people get education,” she said. Maddie Rastall, senior in public service and administration in agriculture, has seen Clinton speak publicly

three times. “ I ’ m a H i l l a r y s u pporter,” Rastall said. “[She] would be more successful pushing legislation through and compromising with the Republicans.” Ames resident Phillip Zarring is undecided for the Caucus, but doesn’t want to discredit the process. “Caucusing is very important, so important to these candidates,” Zarring said. “It’s always good to be involved.” Newton resident Jerry Jones committed to Clinton. “She fights for the working class. She listens. She’s approachable,” Jones said.
