The barracks at the Iowa State University Carl F. Vondra Field Station where ISU students stay were once used to house interned Japanese Americans during World War II. The station is located west of the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming and is home to diverse rocks and geological foundations.

Old internment camps house students Wyoming station offers geology course By Thomas.Nelson @iowastatedaily.com

piece of history has not only served as a reminder to the past as a place of learning for some ISU students. The Iowa State University Carl F. Vondra Geology Field Station is west of the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming and houses a diverse selection of rocks and geological formations. Here, geology students take part in an intensive six-week course to gain hands-on experience. However, there is more to the story behind the station among the field of outcropping rocks. The barracks where ISU students stay while studying in Wyoming once were used to house interned Japanese Americans during World War II, by order of thenPresident Franklin D. Roosevelt in February 1942. Today, the Japanese internment is widely considered a stain on American history. After this order, about 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast were evacuated and incarcerated in camps around the United States, according to PBS.org. Most of these people “were U.S. citizens or legal permanent resident aliens,” PBS.org stated. There were 10 internment camps scattered throughout the western United States, including Heart Mountain, the current location of the field station. The internment camp, according to PBS.org, was opened in August 1942 and closed in November 1945. At its

peak, the camp housed more than 10,000 individuals. The executive order signed by Roosevelt was deemed a “military necessity to protect against domestic espionage and sabotage,” the site stated. The building used to house the Japanese fell into the possession of various county, state and town officials after the war. “We leased them from the city of Greybull, [Wyo.] for $1 a year,” said Carl Vondra, emeritus professor of geology and distinguished professor in liberal arts and sciences, and the namesake of the geology field station. The houses were simply barracks built and shipped from the West Coast to Wyoming. There were some 10,000 Japanese Americans that were housed in the internment camp, Vondra said. The government ended up giving a lot of the facilities away, Vondra said. “Many of them were given to returning veterans and they used them as outhouses on their farms,” he said. Mark Mathison, teaching lab coordinator for the department of geology, said there were about 750 buildings, which were sold off for $1 a piece. The city of Greybull ended up buying three of them prior to the field camp. The flood plains of Shell Creek near Shell, Wyo., were offered to the university at a below value price in 1957, said Aaron Wood, director of the Carl F. Vondra Field Station and lecturer in geology. This became the home of the geology field camp. The buildings, all located near Heart Mountain, were in bad physical condition, Vondra said. They had bad insulation and were more

Leath announces Veishea alternatives Events include cherry pies sale

By Ashley.Green @iowastatedaily.com

The city of Ames will spend the coming three-day weekend honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s achievements and life in various events and celebrations across the community. Monday, Jan. 18, will mark the third Monday of the month, as well as the annual celebration of King’s birthday. The holiday, recognized by all 50 states starting in 2000 but petitioned for shortly after King’s death in 1968, celebrates more than just King and his achievements. The holiday is also known as the MLK Day of Service. Many workplaces as well as schools and places of higher education are closed in observance of the holiday, and citizens are encouraged to spend their day off volunteering in their communities. Several free-to-the-public events will be offered throughout

As a new semester begins, questions over the recent international student tuition increase continue to swirl among students. During the Dec. 2 meeting of the Iowa Board of Regents, tuition rates as well as fees were proposed and finalized. Amid the topics approved was an increase to international students’ annual tuitions. Incoming and returning students in 2016–17 will pay an extra $500 per year until the 2018-19 academic year, creating a total increase of $1,500 over three years. For David Holger, associate provost for Academic Programs and dean of the ISU Graduate College, the increase represents a small change that is seen on an almost yearly basis. “Fundamentally nothing has changed when the board approved the tuition rate,” Holger said. “The proposal cost was based on the fact that there are additional costs in parts of the university that are associated with educating international students.” He noted the dramatic increase of international students at Iowa State, citing an 18 percent increase since 2011. Holger added that 11 percent of the total student population are currently international students. “We recognize that there are additional services or capacity that we should be serving, so part of the rationale is there have been ongoing costs that we’ve just been eating from other sources in the past,” Holger said.” We also see that in order for international students to be successful there are issues that are different from domestic students, so we need to provide ways for them to have a quality experience.” When deciding on the rate of increase for international tuition universities, the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa were compared with Iowa State in order to find the most optimal balance among the three. At the current $29,960 estimate, the added $1,500 will essentially create a third tuition branch that will only be paid by those who are not domestic students. With the University of Northern Iowa’s out-of-state tuition totaling an estimated $28,781 and the University of Iowa at $37,618, the increase will put Iowa State at around a middle-ground tuition rate. An increase of any amount, however, is never good news for international students whose home currency often fluctuates.

Lego championship returns By Eric.Wirth @iowastatedaily.com One hundred and twenty teams of 9- to 14-year-olds will converge at Iowa State on Saturday with one thing on their minds: trash. The teams have been working for months on tackling problems related to the world’s trash epidemic. They have to think like engineers in order to solve problems, in part by

using a programmable Lego robot. Last year, 72 teams came to the state championship in Ames. This year, the event has been expanded to two days in an effort to welcome more teams to the competition. This weekend, 60 teams will compete Saturday and another 60 will compete Sunday. Winners have the chance to move forward in the competition, eventually having the opportunity to compete in international

competitions. Some of the tasks that competitors will have to program their robot to do are recycling materials and restoring an old car. The event will take place in Howe and Hoover Halls and is open and free to the public. For those who cannot attend, event organizers have set up a live webcam in order to view the competition remotely. Opening ceremonies will begin at 9 a.m Saturday in the Howe Hall atrium.

As part of January being National Human Trafficking Awareness Month, the Central Iowa Service Network Against Human Trafficking will host an event regarding the issue on campus next week. Luis CdeBaca, an ISU graduate who is now the leader of the Department of Justice Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering and Tracking, will speak at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union with the lecture titled “On the

Front Lines of of the U.S. Fight Against Child Abuse, Human Trafficking and Sexual Assault.” CdeBaca has been the Ambassador to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons in the State Department for five years and has served under three presidential administrations to help combat human trafficking. Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad called on the legislature during his Condition of the State to pass legislation protecting children and family members from human trafficking. Chief Justice Cady told the legislature on Wednesday, “We can no longer

view human trafficking as a problem for major cities in America. It exists as a dark underworld in many communities across Iowa and is associated with some of Iowa’s most iconic places and events. There is no justice when children are abused and exploited. A prompt, comprehensive and coordinated effort is needed to identify victims of human trafficking and provide the services and protection they need,” according to an email from George Belitsos, who is the co-chairman of the Central Iowa Service Network and former director of the Youth and Shelter Services of Ames.

candidates while tailgating in Ames that day, saying he appreciates the opportunity to meet with any candidate. He’ll also host events at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Central College in Pella and the University of Iowa in Iowa City in the days after his Ames event.

Trump is near the top, but behind U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in the latest Iowa poll from The Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics by just 3 points. Cruz has support from 25 percent of likely caucusgoers, while Trump sits at 22 percent.

Here’s a recap of the week’s biggest stories. Read the quick recap below, then test your knowledge with our online quiz. At least three winners in massive Powerball After several weeks of a growing Powerball jackpot, at least three winning tickets were sold this week as the grand prize hit $1.6 billion. Officials said winning tickets, those which matched the numbers on the five white balls and the number on the singular, red powerball, were sold in California, Florida and Tennessee. In Iowa, Bryon Stewart, a resident of Onawa, won a $2 million prize after buying a ticket at a local Casey’s General Store, KCCI reported. If you have not yet checked your tickets, the winning numbers for Wednesday’s drawing were: 08, 27, 34, 04, 19 and a Powerball of 10. City Council bans ecigs The Ames City Council voted 6-0 at its Tuesday meeting to ban e-cigarettes in the city. The ordinance bans ecigarettes in all public places where cigarette use is already prohibited under the Smokefree Air Act, although an exception is carved out for e-cigarette stores. Iowa State University banned e-cigarettes on campus earlier this month, including any use inside Department of Residence facilities. Hillary Clinton goes after Sanders at Iowa State Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton visited Iowa State on Tuesday, accepting an endorsement from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence as well as going after Bernie Sanders’ record on guns. “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. ” Clinton and her campaign have continued to attack Sanders for his past votes on guns while in the

who worked to achieve. “Few members of the battalion are recognized each semester for achieving the battalion goal of a GPA of 3.2 or higher,” said Matthew Burchill, adjunct instructor in naval science. He continued by saying their personal example in the area of academic achievement serves as an example to each member of the Cyclone Battalion to emulate. About 16 midshipmen received this award. Five midshipmen were next recognized for their academic achievement that soared above the goal of a

3.2 GPA by having a minimum 3.75 GPA. “A grade point average of 3.75 or higher is not achieved by chance,” Burchill said. “Many hours of strategic and purposeful studying are required. Your faithful efforts are paying huge dividend and are an excellent example for others.” The last award to be handed out was an award dedicated to “all-around” midshipmen. Brian Bavlsik, sophomore in interdisciplinary studies; Jaroslaw Jozwik, senior in aerospace engineering; and Adam Pollard, senior in interdisci-

plinary studies, were recognized for their success. The “all-around” award is designated for midshipmen who achieve success both physically and academically during the semester. “Your stellar performance reflects great credit upon yourself and serves as a sterling example for others,” Burchill told the midshipmen. Each midshipman awarded received a letter from the ISU NROTC commissioner’s office and a gift card. Depending on the award they one, midshipmen became authorized to

The Iowa State Dance team performs the dance to Justin Bieber’s song “Sorry.” The video was featured on Ellentube. The dancers spent hours practicing and watched Bieber’s original video multiple times for reference, which was choreographed by Parris Goebel, a professional choreographer.

Dance team performs Bieber ‘Sorry’ remake a hit on Internet By Tara.Larson @iowastatedaily.com With a little spare time, one ISU team created a parody of a popular music video that sent it into sudden Internet sensationalism. Members of the ISU dance team recreated Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” music video and reached over 50,000 Facebook views and almost 40,000 views on YouTube. Two members of the dance team, Toni Ugolini, junior in advertising, and Kate Britten, senior in elementary education, had the idea to recreate the video after their state dance competition Dec. 5 when their practices had ended for the season. The team members all met one day and began rehearsing. “We had some down-

time from practice and we all love Justin Bieber, so it looked like fun,” said Britten, one of the team’s captains. Not all of the team members could make it, but 14 were able to meet Dec. 12 to work on the video. The women then distributed characters to portray from the video and were told to find costumes. The team spent several hours at Beyer Hall in a racquetball room practicing and recording. Because of conflicting schedules among the members, the only choice was to record the entire video in one day. “It would have been ideal to have three days [to record],” said Hannah Greco, senior and team captain. Britten said she agreed that more time would have helped overall. “[The most challenging part] was trying to get it all done in one day,” Britten said. “It was a long five hours but all worth it.”

They watched Bieber’s original video multiple times, which was choreographed by Parris Goebel, a professional choreographer. Ugolini then put the girls in the formation that matched the original dance. The video features multiple quick shots of the ISU women dancing. They were dressed in colorful outfits that followed the 1990s fashion trend, just as the original video follows. The women danced in shots that included anywhere from just one member to all 14 in one shot. The dancing consisted mostly of quick, sharp movements. Some movements were in complete unison, while others were completely different than the ones around them. “It was fun watching everyone try to reenact the original,” Ugolini said. “We usually do sharp and consistent, and this video was a lot more loose.” After editing, the final

video was added to YouTube on Dec. 30 and shared on Facebook. People immediately began watching and sharing the link on social media. The video blew up in terms of views and shares in the two weeks since it was released. “I think it’s great,” Greco said. “I’m excited so many people enjoyed it.” Ugolini was also excited about the amount of views and recognition the video received. “I did not expect it to get that big,” Ugolini said. “We all talked it up a lot. I think it became so big because we filmed it to the exact [original] video.” The team has no current plans to create another remake of a video, but Britten, Greco and Ugolini all agree that they hope another one is made in the future. The video, titled “Sorry (Justin Bieber) - Iowa State Dance Team,” can be found on YouTube.

Senate. Sanders has said his position on guns is consistent with the Democratic Party, but also says his state is very rural and pro-gun, which may influence his position. Clinton also talked about the economy and education while at Iowa State. “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 White House,” Clinton said. ““My goal is to raise income on the middle class, not raise taxes on the middle class.” Fernstrom leaves basketball team Sophomore forward Bryanna Fernstrom is no longer a part of the ISU women’s basketball team after asking for a release earlier this week. “[I’m] definitely surprised,” said coach Bill Fennelly. “Second semester starts today, and we have about eight weeks left in the season. It’s a surprise, but there’s a lot of things that young people do today that don’t surprise me anymore.” Fernstrom texted Fennelly during the weekend, asking for a meeting Monday. She informed Fennelly about her request to be released during the meeting. Fernstrom averaged 20.7 minutes this season and 19.0 minutes in Big 12 play. Fernstrom is joining the Minnesota Gophers, the University of Minnesota announced later in the week. “We have to keep moving forward,” said Fernstrom’s now former teammate Jadda Buckley. “The Big 12 doesn’t stop.” Leath says Knoll plowed of snow first on campus, won’t choose Chipotle vs. Pancheros In a semi-annual interview with the Iowa State Daily on various topics relating to Iowa State on Monday, President Steven Leath revealed that The Knoll, the university president’s private residence on the south side of campus, is cleared of snow before other buildings and residences on campus. While the snow clearing may seem like a benefit of being president, Leath said First Lady Janet Leath has one problem: she’s not a morning person, so she does not like when university employees plow the driveway at 6:15 a.m. When asked about whether he prefers Chipotle or Pancheros, Leath declined to answer, but did say El Azteca on Stange Road is a favorite for Iowa State’s first family.

TUITION p1 Higher tuition rates can often be strenuous on wallets, especially for those who deal with exchange rates. “For the rest of the world, we see the U.S. dollar continue to rise, and it’s becoming harder and harder for us to come to America to study,” said Tzer Chin, senior in mechanical engineering and president of the International Student Ambassadors Club. “Back when I first came to ISU, about 50,000 Malaysian Ringgits paid for my semester, but now that cost is closer to 75,000 for the exact same amount of U.S dollars.” Though burdening as the cost may be, for students like Chin, outrage over the tuition increase began with communication problems between those who proposed the act and

people were reluctant to have events during that time in the spring because it was sort of already taken,” Leath said. “So there was a pent up supply of ideas of students wanting to do other things in the spring.” Along with the new, the committee also hoped to keep some of the old traditions of the event, such as cherry pies and a parade.

“We were told that they needed the money for programs such as teaching English as a second language, but I know for me I was taught English as my first language. I think that’s more an excuse as to them needing money,” Chin said. The overall effect of this change won’t be seen until this fall, and as Holger states, it wouldn’t be surprising to see tuition increases in the next few years. “The trade-off is that if we lose revenue in some areas, in order to maintain quality we need increased revenue,” Holger said. “Recently, that increase has been modest, if not frozen, for a number of years. It’s probably better for everybody to have small increases at a steady pace then to have nothing for a while and then one big increase. As costs go up we need more revenue.”

we have to monitor, like full-time enrollment for international students, in order for them to keep their visa status, and that’s something we don’t have to do for domestic students,” Holger said. “Various colleges, depending on their enrollment need things like writing help centers and supplemental instruction and other advising in order for students to be successful.” Adding to the university’s infrastructure by tactics such as hiring new professors in order to keep student-to-teacher ratios lower was also a strong argument for the additional funds. Though these programs are essential to some ISU students in order to be successful, students such as Chin believe that using funds in this manner isn’t effective for all international bodies.

Columnist Carstens agrees that Larycia Hawkins, associate professor at Wheaton College, deserved to face consequences for the Facebook post she made in which she said Muslims and Christians worship the same God, but Carstens believes the suspension the college handed down may have been too harsh.

Words eclipse intention Wheaton associate professor’s comments led to her suspension By Courntney.Carstens @iowastatedaily.com

heaton College in Illinois just recently suspended associate professor Larycia Hawkins for announcing that she was going to wear a hijab, a Muslim head covering, throughout Advent. Hawkins planned on wearing this traditional head covering throughout the entire season of Advent, which is a Christian season, to show solidarity with Muslims. This action came after she said Dec. 10 through Facebook that “I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book, and as Pope Francis stated last week, we worship the same God.” While many people believe there is an anti-Muslim reason behind Hawkins’ suspension, the college explained that its reason behind her suspension was not because of her choice to wear the hijab, but because of her inaccurate comments toward the Muslim and Christian religions. Many people, including the institution and students, berated her for stating that Muslims and Christians

worship the same God. What she did was a good thing; she tried to bring together people of two openly conflicting groups of religions, people who have been at odds for quite some time. However, Hawkins’ comments that were made hurt all of the good she was trying to accomplish. While many people like to believe that actions are more powerful than words, that was not the case in this instance. Her actions were meant to symbolize something good and kind but they instead hurt the college she worked for with just one comment. People and the institution are now offended. It does not matter how many times she says she did not mean to offend anyone, the comment was written, and the damage is done. Hawkins should have been more careful with her words because of the anti-Muslim agenda that seems to be popular with presidential candidates such as Donald Trump, who would like to, if he became president, require Muslims and Syrian refugees to register in the United States. After being asked on multiple occasions about how or if we should do something about the Syrian and Muslim problems, the Republican candidate finally gave his answer. These candidates don’t seem to be the only people against Muslims. According to a recent study, 23 percent of Democrats agreed with Trump’s earlier comments, while 54 percent of Republicans agreed with him. Hawkins should have been more

aware of potential implications of what she wrote and how that could impact her career going forward. People should not be so quick to assume the worst of an institution, but look at the actions of both parties. The comment Hawkins made was that Muslims and Christians worship the same God, and as a Christian college, Wheaton had every right to berate her because that comment goes against its belief. Although, I will admit that suspension seems a little too harsh, especially because this was a Facebook post, which brings up her right to free speech. Wheaton’s mission clearly explains that it is a Christian-centered institution: “Wheaton College serves Jesus Christ and advances His Kingdom through excellence in liberal arts and graduate programs that educate the whole person to build the church and benefit society worldwide.” The college must have felt that the Hawkins’ comments somehow went against this mission when the Wheaton provost said, “We are being asked to defend why we have faculty openly rejecting with (sic) the institution stands for.” Hawkins meant well by wearing the hijab, but the comments she made were what led to her suspension, not her choice to wear the traditional Muslim garment. While pictures can be worth a thousand words, one comment can ruin any good message that is trying to be conveyed. This appears to be the case with Hawkins and Wheaton College.

Gene modifying in humans crosses line By Beth.Woodruff @iowastatedaily.com Chinese scientists have experimented with non-viable embryos in recent months, using gene editing to potentially eradicate harmful traits in unborn humans. However, the potential risks and ethical concerns with this new technology might be too much to justify its use. China has used a technology known as CRISPR to essentially “cut, copy and paste” genes wherever it pleases, which would essentially result in a customized human being. CRISPR is a system that can target specific segments of DNA. The experiment was done on human embryos for the first time in an attempt to eliminate the possibility of an infant being born with a deadly blood disorder. Out of the 86 embryos the team started the experimentation with, only 71 survived through the entirety of the study, according to NOVA. Out of those 71 remaining embryos, only 28 had been modified successfully.

While many people may see this budding technology as the first step to construct a future lifeline to the human race, it raises two primary problems. The first problem is the future impact of such a technology, and the second is where to draw the line between ethical and unethical. There has been little experimentation conducted using CRISPR technology, as the first human embryo testing was just completed in April 2015. This means that there is little to no possibility of estimating the potential effects of gene editing in the future because the technology hasn’t been in action for a full year yet. Nature.com states that this experimental science has been successfully used on animals such as goats to increase their muscle mass and allot for more edible meat on the animal. However, these experiments on animals are recent, dating back to September 2015. While the meager age of less than a year may cause people to be skeptical of the technology, the argument

could be made that it is a promising development, and we will see that in the coming year. But there is also a viable argument that it is still very new, meaning the potential for kinks in the system is very real. As a whole, Americans tend to be weary of genetically modified (GM) foods, according to a Pew research study. Pew stated that 57 percent of adults in America find GM foods to be “generally unsafe” to eat, while 67 percent feel scientists “do not have a clear understanding” of the side effects of GM foods. So why would citizens be weary of genetically modified foods, but not bat an eye at genetically modified children? If the majority of people are hesitant to put GM foods into their bodies, because of their adverse side effects, it is hypocritical for them to advocate for an entirely GM-based human. Further concern arises with where the line on gene modification should be drawn. When the ability to modify human embryos becomes simple and routine, what will ensure its uses

are medicinal, and won’t result in “designer babies?” Gene modifications could lead to children’s looks and personality being altered before they are even born. This could lead to a larger gap between the rich and poor, making the affluent rise to a higher level of elite as they could afford contrived “perfection.” While the lure of gene modification is enticing to many scientists, not all of them see it as leading to a positive change in humanity. NBC quoted Francis Collins, the National Institutes of Health director, stating that gene modification “has been viewed almost universally as a line that should not be crossed.” Humans are a species constantly striving toward perfection, yearning to gain more knowledge and power. Unfortunately, some science should be left alone and unexplored because of the possible side effects it may produce. Gene editing is one of the sciences; it has the potential to restore or destroy a world, with which is a risk not worth meddling.

Ames is divided. It’s not divided in some figurative, thought-provoking way, but literally divided by Lincoln Way. The north side is home to Central Campus: the ultimate student destination. For those lucky enough to reside in one of the dorms or apartments on the north side of Lincoln Way, this divide is not much of a concern aside from the occasional trips to the south side. Three dorms, soon to be four once the new dorm next to Buchanan Hall is completed, along with many apartments and businesses, reside on this side of the street. No matter where you fall on the map, crossing Lincoln Way at some point during your ISU adventure is almost inevitable. This is where the divide becomes an issue. The ISU family lost one of its own to a hit-and-run accident on the corner of Lincoln Way and Ash Avenue on Dec. 14. Police are still investigating the accident, but something has to be done to ensure the safety of the mass amount of students who cross Lincoln Way on a daily basis. In a recent sit-down with Daily editors, ISU President Steven Leath touched on the tragedy and the plans to reduce risk on Lincoln Way. “We all knew it was possible, but no one expects it or anticipates it, so when it happened, it did cause us to think, ‘Have we done everything we can?’” Leath said. He also shared that they are doing some initial “shortterm things” to help lower the risk factor after the event. We applaud his initial jump-to-it attitude on the issue, but more needs to be done, and we believe success lies in little adjustments. One suggestion Leath made was a pedestrian bridge that would span across Lincoln Way, minimizing students’ direct contact with the busy street. However, we agree with Leath in wondering whether anybody would use it. Students want to get from point A to point B as fast as possible, and climbing a flight of stairs just to go down the other side a few feet later is not the simplest way. We feel the best way to step in the right direction would be to improve lighting. One concern that was raised from the loss of Emmalee Jacobs was the lack of lighting at that intersection, which could have caused the driver to not see her walking. Lincoln Way is well equipped with pedestrian crosswalk buttons to signal traffic to stop and allow people to cross safely, but not all of the crossings that run into other streets intersecting Lincoln Way are as pedestrian-friendly. More intersections should get more clear crosswalk signals and arrows for certain turns for traffic, such as the Lincoln Way and Beach Avenue intersection. These improvements will take time, but in the search to find a simple way for students to cross safely, these may be the simplest and most logical options.

ISU focuses on weaknesses By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com When a wild animal is backed into a corner, one of its first instincts is usually to fight and find its way out. The same could be said for both the ISU (12-4, 1-3 Big 12) and Kansas State (11-5, 1-3 Big 12) men’s basketball teams, which will meet up on Saturday with hopes of finding a way out of their respective slumps. Both have fallen to the bottom half of the Big 12 standings and are in desperate need of a win to get back on track before conference heavyweights such as Kansas, Oklahoma and West Virginia leave them behind. “They’re obviously trying to find their niche just like we are in this league,” said senior Georges Niang. “They’re hungry for a win,

The first and perhaps most obvious issues are Iowa State’s defensive struggles. The Cyclones gave up 94 points in the last two games, pointing

to significant problems on that side of the ball. One potential issue is Iowa State’s lack of depth. With only seven players in the regular rotation, it is feasible that the defensive woes could be contributed to fatigue. Niang doesn’t think depth is a problem at all. “I would say [it’s] sometimes more [of] a lack of focus,” Niang said. “If

we’re not focusing, our defense is really bad.” Five ISU starters are averaging at least 29 minutes per game, but Monté Morris also doesn’t think depth and fatigue are issues. Despite playing a team-high 36.5 minutes a game, Morris said he feels fine and hasn’t been to the trainer’s room in nearly two weeks. So if it’s not fatigue, then what is it? Well, ISU coach Steve Prohm said the Cyclones’ defensive woes might have more to do with offense than defense. How? “Everybody is talking about the defense right now,” Prohm said. “How much is it just against straight half-court defense that they’re scoring? Or are they scoring in transition? Are they scoring off bad offense that’s leading to transition? “Our half-court de-

fense, when it is set, is not bad. It’s not unbelievable, but that’s not what’s killing us.” Sometimes the best defense is a good offense. That old cliché may be true for Iowa State, too. Prohm said he wants his team to take fewer quick shots. Too often, Iowa State will take a shot just 10 seconds into the shot clock and miss, which leads to transition opportunities for opponents. “Go watch all the games and look what quick shots lead to,” Prohm said. The answer is transition buckets. Instead, Prohm offered a few simple adjustments like taking some time and getting further into the shot clock. “Let’s drive the ball,” Prohm said. “Let’s make the extra pass. We can get

ISU men’s basketball coach Steve Prohm said he has deleted his Facebook and Twitter profiles on Thursday to avoid waves of criticism after his team’s 1-3 start in conference play. Prohm’s Twitter profile is still online as of Thursday evening. He was likely referring to deleting the applications off of his phone. “I deleted Twitter and Facebook just because I don’t need them,” Prohm said. He said social media was a distraction, and he needs to focus on his players and his family. He added that “my focus doesn’t need to be anywhere else.” “It’s hard,” Prohm said. “I deleted it now so I don’t have to see it. But it’s hard. I care. I came here to do great job here and I love this place, I love this school and the fans. I don’t want to let anybody down. So yeah, it bothers you and it hurts you as a human.” Criticism on social media is nothing new for Prohm, who said he was also “beat up” by fans when he was at Murray State. Prohm isn’t the first to give up social media this season. ISU forward Jameel McKay briefly gave up Twitter earlier this season. Georges Niang hasn’t tweeted since Oct. 5, and Monte Morris hasn’t had a tweet since Dec. 20. “I haven’t been on Twitter,” Morris said. “I don’t even know what’s going on.” Morris is still active on Instagram and said he has heard some criticism of Iowa State’s recent play on that platform. “If they leave a negative comment, I might smile and say, ‘Appreciate it,’” Morris said. “[I] just take it all in. I’m not going to run away from social media.” Though he has avoided Twitter, he said social media isn’t the reason for Iowa State’s recent struggles. “I know what type of player I am and what type of team we have,” Morris said. “Social media isn’t the problem, you know. We’re losing.”

Cyclones head into Big 12 season coming off Virginia Duals title By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com

MATCH INFORMATION Who: No. 14 Iowa State vs. Arizona State What: Big 12 Wrestling When: 9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 15 Where: Tempe, Arizona

The ISU wrestling team is flipping the calendar to 2016 with a focus on the Big 12. First up on that list: Arizona State. No. 14 Iowa State (7-2, 1-0 Big 12) is coming off a weekend at the Virginia Duals, where it won the championship title against No. 12 Virginia Tech. The Cyclones also garnered some chemistry and confidence heading into the meat of Big 12 play. “The championship win has got to give our team some confidence, especially going into the Big 12 season,” said coach Kevin Jackson. “The guys were really excited to win the title.” Earlier in the year, Iowa

State wasn’t firing at all cylinders and lost some tough matches against teams it should’ve been giving a run for their money.

3s. We don’t have to take so many early [in the shot clock] 3s. We can get some late 3s.” This solution prompts another question, though. Iowa State has always played at a fast pace in recent years. Some of these guys don’t know how to play any other way. If you slow down too much, aren’t you taking away what makes the offense so potent? “That’s always been our style,” Morris said. “It’s hard to say. Here and there it is [bad] shot selection.” Morris said it’s about learning when to pick and choose your spots. “Every game is going to be different, he said. “We can talk shot selection, but at Kansas State we might have to play fast paced to win that game. I think it’s just the feel of the game.”

Fairman era. Now the Cyclones decided to continue that trend by having their first mid-week film session of the season Wednesday night. “It’s easier when you watch the game and see what [you’re] doing and what we need to adjust for the next game,” said defenseman Eero Helanto. Because the Cyclones have already gone toe-totoe with the Illini earlier in the season, the film they’re watching is especially important. The Cyclones traveled to Champaign, Ill., in November, ending both games in extra minutes and extra shots — one in a shootout win and the other with a shootout loss.

After years of use and renovation, the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation was given the award for the most historically accurate and preserved building. It can be seen in Cody, Wyo., and is a part of the permanent display. The most positive Mathison can take from the whole matter is that a large group of students were able to receive an education while living in the barracks, he said. They got a chance to see a piece of history first-

hand. The field station is used for a required six-credit class, geology 302, for students majoring in geology. The goal of the course, which takes place during a course of six weeks, is to provide geology students the chance to get real-field experience. The course can be considered intense by some; students work five and a half days a week. “You’re basically immersed in the rocks,” Mathison said. “It’s a perfect classroom.” Students are able to get hands-on experience with geological features around them. “You’re getting a real idea of what field geology is like,” Mathison said. “There are very tough concepts that you’re working with.” The field station is used by universities from surrounding states as well. The University of Nebraska works extensively at the field station, since the University of Nebraska at Lincoln is a partner university at the station. The class’s student-toteacher ratio usually falls at 10 or less students to one teacher.

A former ISU student lies in a bunk bed at the Iowa State University Carl F. Vondra Geology Field Station. “You’re getting a real idea of what field geology is like,”Mark Mathison, teaching lab coordinator for the department of geology, said about the geology course offered at the station.

The camp has changed throughout the years in many ways. One way in particular is the toliets; the station has only recently installed bathrooms with running water. “We had outdoor toliets until I stepped down from the camp,” Vondra said. “I didn’t see the value of having porta-potties.” Among the other amenities that have been added

to the camp over the years are air conditioning and heat. The students, however, have changed as well. “The thing I noticed over the 40 years I was out there was a great change in the students,” Vondra said. “The intelligence of the students haven’t changed, but what students are willing to do has changed.” Their attitudes and

work ethics in particular have changed for the worst, he said. Physical labor is simply where students seem to be lacking. “When you’re working in the field as a geologist you do a lot of hiking under very difficulty conditions,” Vondra said, since geologist often find themselves climbing and working in hot or extreme conditions. The field station prop-

erty is owned by the Iowa State University Foundation, and the Department of Geological Sciences runs the camp. The University of Nebraska of Lincoln’s geology department helps with a minor extent with the instruction. The geology field station will welcome 40 students and six instructors from Iowa State this year between May 22 and July 1.
