A 23 Orange CyRide bus makes its way down Osborne Drive during a morning route.

Clague, 23 of Gilbert, Iowa, was arrested at his home Wednesday morning.

Police charge CyRide driver in connection with death of ISU student Emmalee Jacobs By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com The Ames Police Department has arrested a CyRide bus driver in the hit-and-run accident that killed an ISU student in December. Emmalee Jacobs, a freshman in business, was struck on the crosswalk of Ash Avenue and Lincoln Way on Dec. 14. Ames Police determined, with assistance from CyRide staff, that Jacobs was struck by a CyRide bus, according to a press release from the city of Ames. Benjamin D. Clague, age 23 of Gilbert, Iowa, was arrested and charged with leaving the scene of an accident resulting in a death, a class D felony and failure to obey a traffic control device, a simple misdemeanor. Cmdr. Jason Tuttle of the Ames Police Department said Clague was arrested at his home in Gilbert just before 10 a.m. Wednesday. “We’re very confident he was the driver of the vehicle that struck Emmalee,” Tuttle said. Jacobs was struck at 7:04 a.m. Dec. 14 as she was walking from Buchanan Hall to campus for her final, police said. An ISU police officer found the 18 year old lying in the road. She was taken to Mary Greeley Medical Center, where she later died. The bus numbered 976 was on the Gold Route, said Sheri Kyras, director of transit at CyRide. No one except the driver was on the bus at the time Jacobs was hit. At his next stop, Tuttle said the driver exited the bus and did a visual check; not seeing anything, he continued on his route. It wasn’t until his next time around the loop that he saw the officers on Lincoln Way. “Due to the rain, the glare of the lights, the weather conditions definitely played a role,” he said. “However, that doesn’t excuse the fact that he didn’t come forward.” Brad Jacobs, Emmalee’s father, said though the family is still emotional, they are were somewhat relieved when they received a call this morning from Ames Police that an arrest was made. “It’s a relief as far as knowing we won’t have to wonder exactly about what happened,” Brad Jacobs said. The Ames Tribune reported that Story County court records show text messages from Clague to his friends in which he voices his concern that he may have been the one who hit Jacobs. Brad Jacobs said he does not understand how a CyRide driver would

StuGov censures BOR student representative By Zach.Clemens @iowastatedaily.com Student Government showed no confidence in the Board of Regents’ student member at its meeting Wednesday night. The Senate debated a bill to censure Rachael Johnson, a UNI student, who is the student member of the Board of Regents. The vote was passed unanimously by the senators. The censure was because Johnson voted in favor of a tuition raise for international students. Student Government passed a resolution against the tuition increase late in the fall semester and sent the bill to Johnson to review. She only received the bill 24 hours before the vote, however. “She got 24 hours to look at this bill that [Student Government President Dan Breitbarth] said took 15 hours to write,” said Sen. Jeffery DeRocher, junior in accounting. “That time frame led

to the decision to vote against our wishes, but that is not a big enough reason to censure.” Speaker of the Senate Ben Crawford said the timing was an issue with Thanksgiving break and

the mail schedule, but there was possibly more at work. “I think administration was going to steamroll us anyways, and as far as I’m concerned they don’t care and we should do this

censure and do whatever else we need to,” Crawford said. Breitbarth said he did not have an opinion either way on the censure and it would not affect the Student Government relationship with the board. However, he said he was happy to see Student Government step up and do something that matters to students. “I want this body to strengthen how the university sees us, how students see us,” Breitbarth said. Sen. Matthew Teubert said he did not support this bill after new facts had been revealed. Several senators said Johnson recently sent out an email to explain the thinking behind her vote. Sen. Conner Tillo was strongly in favor of the censure, even at one point quoting Sarah Palin. “Everyone needs to step up and say no more to us being bullied,” Tillo said. The Senate read a bill that would allocate funding for improved lighting in the area between Carver and the library,

which the senators will vote on next week. The funding would add two new light poles, as well as replace all light bulbs between Carver and the library, and all light bulbs on Carver with LED bulbs. Student Government would allocate $8,500 with a total cost of $34,000. A bill that will be voted on next week was read to allocate $221.66 to the Iowa State Quiz Bowl club for registration and travel to an event in St. Paul, Minn. The ISU women’s basketball club requested $787.97 to be able to attend a tournament later this year. These funding bills will be decided at the next Senate meeting. Sen. Khayree Fitten introduced a bill that would create a committee in Student Government that would solely focus on student activities. The bill argues the Student Organization Recognition Board is insufficient to meet all of the student organizations’ needs.

Poll shows majority favors executive action By Shannon.McCarty, @iowastatedaily.com After President Obama’s speech on gun control, the conversation continues; should the executive brach take action? CNN has posted polls conducted by telephone by ORC international in which 1,027 Americans were interviewed Jan. 5 and 6. The poll had a plus or minus of a 3 percent margin of error. The poll found that 67 percent favor the executive orders Obama took to require background checks online and at gun shows, as well as making it easier for the FBI to complete background checks. “We regulate all other important aspects of life,” said Max McDaniel, junior in history and president of the ISU Hunting Club. “Why wouldn’t we do the same for firearms?” The poll also found that 54 percent oppose Obama using executive order to implement his policies. “I do not think it’s right to take executive action,” said Brittany Gaura, president of ISU College Republicans. “That’s not really how our country was set up for all these executive actions to happen.” The American Presidency Project shows Obama has taken 227 executive orders, George W. Busch took 291 and Bill Clinton took 364. Franklin Roosevelt took the most executive orders with 3,721. Gaura said she would have liked to have seen Obama meet with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and ask what can be done in terms of gun control. Mack Shelley, univer-

sity professor of political science, points out that extremely unfortunate decisions have been made in the past by presidents through executive order, citing the time during WWII when president Franklin Roosevelt took executive order to set up concentration camps for Japanese-Americans because he feared they may be loyal to Japan. As for Shelley’s opinion on Obama’s most recent executive order, he said it was the only option Obama had. “It’s not for a lack of trying,” Shelley said. “Right after Newtown there was a serious lobbying effort by the administration.” Many Republican presidential candidates have recently said the president’s executive order is

unconstitutional. “Executive orders aren’t against the Constitution in any way,” Shelley said. Shelley said Obama is simply reinforcing and doing a better job of enforcing existing legislation through these executive actions. The president’s orders could most likely be overturned by the Supreme Court, but Congress couldn’t directly overturn the orders. Congress does litigate the government’s budget, which could overturn an executive order, Shelley said. “Closing those trade show loopholes and making it more difficult for guns to get into the hands of irresponsible gun users, I think that’s common sense legislation,” McDaniel said.

The Jacobs family has plans to create a scholarship in Emmalee’s name for the high school she attended, Centerpoint-Urbana, and her dad said the family will also consider making donations to Iowa State to enhance safety.

check was in line with safety procedures CyRide teaches its drivers. These procedures state that if a driver hears a noise outside of the bus, he or she must step outside of the vehicle to conduct the check, Kyras said. In cases of accidents, Kyras said there is a standard operating procedure that requires drivers to stop the bus immediately, call dispatch and assist passenger or pedestrian. CyRide, which currently operates at 6.5 million miles with 93 buses, is operat-

she said. “It’s a substantial job because you are responsible for the safety of you passengers, as well as people outside of the bus.” Kyras also pointed out that there is often plenty of noise happening on a bus at any given time, and he did follow standard procedure by checking the exterior. During the investigation, Tuttle said they were scouring the area for video surveillance, and asked CyRide to pull their videos from the buses in that area. “Two weeks ago, on [Jan. 6], is really when we got a break in the case we were looking for,” he said. Tuttle said a CyRide supervisor was looking through video and found a concerning video in which she thought the bus struck Jacobs. Ames Police determined it was the driver of the CyRide bus who had struck the student by studying the video, as well by gathering forensic evidence. Tuttle said the investigators also focused on the audio of the recordings. “The difficult thing is that it’s not the video portion

that tells us, it’s the audio,” he said. “It’s not readily apparent. We really analyzed that and it was definitely apparent that he had struck [Jacobs].” Kyras said CyRide has been cooperating fully with Ames Police during its investigation by providing any information it’s needed, including driver logs and bus camera footage. “Any information the police have requested, we have given immediately,” Kyras said. “Anything we can do to aid in this investigation we are doing wholeheartedly.” Kyras was notified two weeks ago that it was possible one of the drivers was a suspect, she said. “We are heartbroken over this tragedy,” Kyras said. “I can’t imagine what the family must be going through. Our heart goes out to the family and friends of Emmalee.” Tuttle said for the investigators who have worked hard on this case, reaching an end is bittersweet. “We’re glad to have the opportunity to tell the parents, but in the end, it

doesn’t bring Emmalee back,” he said. “But hopefully we can hold [the driver] accountable.” ISU President Steven Leath released a statement saying the university “appreciates the diligent investigative work of the Ames Police Department in determining the circumstances of this tragic incident,” according to the Iowa State News Service. “Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Emmalee Jacobs during this very difficult time,” the statement read. “The university is working in cooperation with the city to evaluate potential safety improvements and promote both vehicle and pedestrian safety around campus and the community.” Also a Driver’s Ed teacher at Centerpoint-Urbana schools, Brad Jacobs had some advice for both drivers and pedestrians. “As a pedestrian, don’t take for granted that vehicles are looking in your direction. Make eye contact with vehicles,” he said. “No matter what vehicle you’re in always take that second look.”

But before they can become CyRide drivers, applicants must undergo 120-140 hours on average in training, which includes both in class and on the street. Kyras said CyRide drivers go through a five-step process, which begins with a background check of the applicants’ driving records. “If you look at our program, we’re probably one of the most robust training in the state and the country,”

“In Texas, if you have a gun permit that you can produce, that’s enough for voter registration,” Shelley said. But a student ID will not work for voter registration in Texas, Shelley said. After the shooting in Newtown, Conn., in which 26 people, including 20 children, were killed in 2013, the Connecticut state legislature made major reform to its state gun laws. The assault weapons ban and restrictions against domestic abusers were strengthened, and large capacity ammunition magazines were banned. Connecticut buyers also must have a permit to purchase any type of firearm. Connecticut residents are also required to report any missing or stolen firearms to local police within

He never came forward at all. I definitely have less respect for the person. He had to have known he was probably responsible. He should have come forward that he drove his bus in that area.” Brad Jacobs said he does not have the desire to contact or speak with the person responsible for Emmalee’s death, and he does not have a desire to speak to Clague “unless he was totally honest with what happened, but it was going on five and a half weeks and he had not come forward.” Since the bus was turning at the time, Kyras said she was unsure of how fast the driver would have been going. However, Kyras said the driver getting out of the vehicle to conduct a visual

Gaura said she isn’t completely against gun control, but she doesn’t want it to be any more difficult for law abiding citizens to own guns. “A felon should not be able to go to a gun show and buy a weapon,” Gaura said. Shelley said it would be easier and more efficient to have federal laws across the board than allowing each state to regulate firearms themselves, but it would depend on what one could get through Congress. “It’s hard to think of a more important issue right now, or one that is more divisive,” Shelley said. Every state as of now regulates how its residents go about purchasing and handling firearms, allowing states to be as strict or lenient as they want.

72 hours, or face a fine of $90,000 for a first offense and a class D felony for any consecutive offense. Louisiana, which lies on the opposite end of the spectrum, is known to have some of the most lenient gun laws even after the movie theater shooting in Lafayette this past summer. Louisiana does not allow local government to regulate firearms and recognizes open carry. The only permit required is to purchase a handgun. Iowa is a “shall issue” state, which means law enforcement must issue a concealed weapons permit to an Iowa resident who has applied as long as he or she meets all of the criteria. “It takes very little effort to get a concealed to carry permit,” Shelley said. McDaniel said easy access to receiving a concealed to carry permit is concerning, especially with the option of online training. “If you have the access and the ability to go purchase a high powered weapon you should have sufficient training,” McDaniel said. The National Journal released a chart in August 2015 that showed states with stricter gun laws witnessed fewer gun-related deaths. Republicans argue mental health should be reformed first because of the majority of gun-related deaths being suicides. “People need to stop looking at what is is causing these crimes as the issue and be looking at the person themselves,” Gaura said. “Mental illness is something we should look at when someone is purchasing a weapon.”

Sarah Palin is endorsing presidential candidate Donald Trump, but her support doesn’t mean a sure win for Trump at the Iowa Caucuses.

Palin isn’t guarantee for Trump Courtesy of iStock

Columnist Heckle believes the real tragedy of President Obama’s executive orders on gun control is that Congress failed to work with the president on the issue.

Reality of Obama’s orders Gun control should have never reached executive order By Michael.Heckle @iowastatedaily.com

resident Obama recently pulled the trigger on his executive order to reduce gun violence in America, and a tidal wave of misinformation has spread across the nation as the right and the left take their usual sides on this issue. With slogans from Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz proudly fear-mongering the loss of the Second Amendment, they seem to have no understanding of the legal actions taken by the president. The left is not free from blame either. With Clinton, Sanders and O’Malley all supporting the actions taken by the president, they seem to pass over the greatest threat to the Constitution — executive order. In order to understand this issue clearly, one must be aware of the actual changes made by Obama’s new order. First, it will require any business that participates in the sale of fire arms to obtain a federal license and conduct background checks. This specific excerpt of the order attempts to end the so-called “gun show loophole” as it considers any person involved in sell-

ing firearms, no matter how frequently, a business. In the same vein, the order will require the FBI to conduct a restructuring of the background check system in an attempt to increase efficiency by increasing staff by 50 percent and allowing background checks to be processed 24/7. The order will also help to encourage greater communication between different departments at a federal level and provides $500 million in investments toward mental health care. Nothing in the proposal itself screams tyrannical gun control, despite what Ted Cruz would like you to believe. In fact, a focus on mental health and improving the laws we already have has been a strategy proposed by many Republicans. The closest the proposal comes to any form of true gun control is a clause that requires background checks for more “dangerous” fire arms — though one can easily make the argument that no firearm is intrinsically more dangerous than another. The dangers of tyranny lie in executive action itself. By allowing the president to override the legislative branch, we lose the fundamental structure of government that this country is founded upon. But Obama is not the worst perpetrator of executive orders. Presidents such as Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt broke into the thousands of executive orders during their terms as president. Obama currently sits at

a measly 219 per a count conducted in 2015. His predecessor, George W. Bush, clocks in at 291, and Bill Clinton boasted 364. Executive actions are subject to criticism and revocation by the Supreme Court, allowing them some form of bastardized democracy. But when the president goes above the head of the American people, one can easily see a slippery slope developing, despite how fallacious such an argument is. However, the transparency of executive orders provides some sort of safeguard against tyranny, in whatever little form it may occur. The real tragedy in this situation is the failure of Congress to work with the president, especially on something as logically sound as background checks. I will refrain from entering the topic of the effectiveness of background checks, as I have already written a column on that topic, but it seems like a no-brainer to argue that certain people should not be allowed to own firearms. It’s a logical assumption to conclude that these people do not fall into the category of “well-armed militia,” which the Second Amendment describes. It’s mind-boggling that right would fight Obama on solutions that have been proposed in the past, including solutions to our failed mental health system. I still sympathize with the attitude of spite felt toward executive orders, however, if we choose to criticize one president on such a topic, it is only fair that we criticize the rest.

GUEST COLUMN

Iowa’s closed caucus process not warranted By Steve Corbin Professor of marketing, UNI Many political pundits seriously question whether Iowa deserves to have the first shot at selecting the next president. Iowa’s profile doesn’t even come close to being representative of the USA. Three examples being Iowa is 96 percent white, Iowa’s population rank is 30th (Puerto Rico is larger than Iowa), and visceral comments by U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, have made virtually all Americans cringe and embarrassed. Iowa’s past caucus voter participation rate has been touted by experts as pathetic. Let’s examine the Hawkeye state’s past caucus history: Only 19 percent of cardcarrying Republicans have participated in the past two Iowa caucuses; registered Democrats have averaged a 23 percent turnout. Worse yet, only 13 percent of Iowa’s largest group of registered voters and of No Party independents 36.3 percent participated. Iowa has a “closed caucus,” which means that only declared Republicans and Democrats can participate in a caucus. No Party independents can only participate if they declare Democrat or Republican prior to attending a caucus of that party. The No Party independents can redeclare their independent status on the day after the caucus. What a mess Iowa’s closed caucus has created. This may be the greatest form of hypocrisy in Iowa’s vot-

ing process. The results of Iowa’s caucus should be highly questioned by the American public for its validity and reliability of selecting the next president. To better understand why people shouldn’t pay much attention to Iowa’s caucus, let’s reflect on the 2008 and 2012 presidential races. Mike Huckabee won Iowa’s Republican caucus in 2008. The voter numbers reveal that he attracted the support of a mere 2 percent of Iowa adults. Huckabee won the Iowa Caucus because he was a Christian conservative and those Bible-thumping followers saw the caucus as similar to going to church. You know what happened to the rest of Rev. Mike’s 2008 campaign. Rick Santorum, another Christian conservative Republican, won the 2012 Iowa caucus. The Christians flocked to the Iowa Caucus like it was a Wednesday night revival. You also know the rest of the story of Santorum’s post-Iowa campaign. What are the current rankings of Huckabee and Santorum in the 2016 presidential Republican run-off? Huckabee is 10 and Santorum is 11 with only Jim Gilmore having a lower national ranking. Don’t be surprised if Christian conservative Ted Cruz wins Iowa’s Feb. 1 Republican caucus. While Iowa Christian conservatives may be the most dedicated Republicans to attend a caucus,

they do not represent the majority of Iowa Republicans nor Republicans in the remaining 49 states. Iowa’s first-in-the-nation closed caucus process is not warranted. If Iowa’s Feb. 1, 2016 Republican and Democratic caucus attendance record doesn’t improve, Iowa should no longer have the privilege of being the first-in-the-nation presidential selecting state. The Democratic & Republican National Committees (DNC & RNC) must make all future caucus/primaries open to all registered voters regardless of their political preference. DNC and RNC need to collaborate and agree that the state with the largest percentage of

registered voters participating in the 2016 caucus/primary presidential election will get the privilege of having the first-inthe-nation caucus/primary in 2020. The second most voter participating state in 2016 gets to host the second caucus/primary in 2020; and so on. And, the rate of caucus/primary voter participation per state in 2020 will determine the state-by-state order of the 2024 caucus/primary process. Sadly, the 2020 presidential caucus/primary dance card will start Jan. 21, 2017 one day after the 45th president is inaugurated. For future presidential selection validity and reliability purposes, calling on the DNC and RNC for significant caucus/ primary reform is mandatory.

News spread a week ago that Donald Trump would be making a return to Ames, and with the news came mixed feelings. Looking at the atrocious event that took place during the CyHawk tailgate the last time Trump was in town, hesitation stemming from the possibility of another incident was palpable. Thankfully, no posters were torn and no one was injured as a result of his reappearance, although in true Trump form he did draw groups of protesters, which were ejected from the building. What Trump brought with him this time was an entirely different issue, an issue of the Alaskan kind. Sarah Palin, politician turned reality TV “star” — using that term loosely given her TLC show “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” only lasted three months — and the GOP’s 2008 vice presidential nominee also appeared in the Hansen Agriculture Student Learning Center to endorse Trump. “Why would I jump into a primary and choose one over friends who are running? I am here because I know it is now or never. I am in it to win it,” Palin said. John McCain declared in his 2008 campaign for president that Palin, his running mate, was “the most popular governor in the nation.” However, that was only in her home state of Alaska, and things have since changed. Palin’s approval rating in Alaska dropped from 80 percent to below the 50 percent mark only two years after the McCain-Palin loss, which was about the same time she jumped ship as Alaska’s governor. Her national popularity has dwindled and her name is now more linked to the hilarious skits on Saturday Night Live in which Tiny Fey, who looks freakishly like Palin, puts a comedic twist on Palin’s actions inside and outside of government duties. Nicolle Wallace, who worked on the McCain-Palin campaign as a senior adviser, shared on “The Today Show” on Wednesday morning that Palin “still does have a following” in Iowa, but her wording clearly implies that she has little following elsewhere, and this is vital for Iowans to keep in mind. Palin has had a history that is less than stellar and is, if nothing else, a loose cannon and may not help the Trump campaign near as much as some believe she will. Yes, she is just as radical as Trump is and yes, she is just as outspoken as Trump, but one malignant entity will not serve another. Wallace also shared on Today that Palin may have an interest in taking over for Arnold Schwarzenegger on “The Apprentice” if he doesn’t “work out” as the host of the hit NBC reality series created by none other than The Donald himself. Did Palin hop on board as a way to regain footing in the reality TV world? Only time will tell, but in the meantime, Trump supporters shouldn’t rely on her to boost his campaign to a sure win come the Iowa Caucuses.

Kyven Gadson, former NCAA champion and a 197-pound former ISU wrestler from Waterloo, Iowa, attempts to flip his opponent during the 2015 Big 12 Championships. Gadson is currently pursuing an appearance in the Olympics.

Ready for Rio: Gadson’s Olympic dream Last season’s NCAA Championship leaves former ISU wrestler on quest for gold By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com

now 80 days away from facing the best wrestlers in the United States at the U.S. Wrestling Olympic Trials in Iowa City, Iowa. “It can be nerve-racking to think about for this amount of time, but I have a great support system,” Gadson said. “The love and support from my mom, older brother, coaching staff, Iowa State wrestlers and the communities of Ames and my hometown have been appreciated immensely.” Gadson was planning on working toward his master’s degree at Iowa State in higher education this school year, but his professor, Barb Licklider, wanted him to focus all of his attention on his dream. During his last year as an ISU wrestler, Gadson had three words written inside his headgear. Before every match he read those words, “Faith, family, focus,” to remind himself of the most important aspects of his life. To win the gold medal at the 2016 Olympic Games, Gadson has to stop eating the ice cream he asked for after his championship victory last season and start watching his diet a little more carefully. “I’m only 80 days away from the Olympic trials, which I call ‘gold mode,’” Gadson said. “That means that I can’t eat ice cream anymore until after the Olympic trials. Instead, I

Kyven Gadson was at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa, with his mother and ISU wrestling coach Kevin Jackson on July 3, 2015. The three of them were watching a firework display for the Fourth of July celebration. Gadson was looking up into the sky, which was completely lit up with color. The only thing he could think of was fireworks at the Olympics. Once home, Gadson told his mother that if he woke up and ran with the ISU wrestlers the next morning, he would begin training for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He woke up the next day and hit the road. The quest for Olympic gold became his focus. Many people know Gadson as the ISU wrestler who won the NCAA championship in the 197-pound class in 2015. Or they know him by the signature quote he gave ESPN after winning the NCAA championship. “I just want some ice cream,” he told ESPN before sprinting into the locker room yelling and cheering. Now, he hopes people will know him as an Olympic gold medalist. After starting training in July, Gadson is

need to eat foods with more carbs and watch what I put into my body.” Gadson is happy to have three wrestling coaches who have gone through the process of training for the Olympics. Assistant coaches Travis and Trent Paulson have wrestled in the Olympic trails and have won the world championship. Jackson won a gold medal in the 1992 Olympics and has helped Gadson with preparation by sharing his experiences as an Olympian. He also became the head freestyle coach for Team USA in the 2000s, but he brought his gold medal to practice, and Gadson knew he wanted one of his own.

“Coach Jackson wanted me to put [the gold medal] back in his office, so as I was heading over there I put it around my neck,” Gadson said. “I still want my own, so it’s great to have three wrestling coaches that have the experience and the wisdom.” Gadson has been learning about himself as a person and a coach along his preparation. He’s had to become a better coach for himself with the three wrestling coaches focused on the ISU wrestling season. His lifting schedule is different compared to his years as an ISU wrestler because he has more time to train since he doesn’t have an academic side. He also spends more time in the

training facility, so he can learn from the strength and conditioning coaches. “Kyven [Gadson] has done a great job at being more independent as a professional wrestler,” Jackson said. “If he continues his work ethic until the very end, I believe he could accomplish his dream of making the Olympic team.” Gadson will continue training, traveling to Colorado Springs, Colo., to practice in the Olympic training facility. He will also fly to Russia to wrestle a mix of foreign and American wrestlers before competing in the Olympic Trials. Gadson will compete at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City on April 10, 2016 for a spot on the Olympic wrestling team and a trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this summer. Gadson has family and other relatives who live in Iowa City, so he knows the arena will be filled with support and love. Gadson, who’s ranked fifth in the country, will have to face a familiar wrestler to get onto the team. Kyle Snyder is the top-ranked wrestler in the country for the 97-kilogram class and was pinned by Gadson in the NCAA championships. Gadson knows he’ll be coming to the trials looking for revenge. Gadson also knows this process and dream wouldn’t have been possible without

Russian ballet to enchant Ames Moscow Festival Ballet to perform ‘Sleeping Beauty’ By Maggie.Curry @iowastatedaily.com The Moscow Festival Ballet’s “Sleeping Beauty” will return to Ames at 7:30 p.m. Friday at C.Y. Stephens Auditorium, with the familiar tale of a beautiful princess, cursed at birth and rescued by true love’s kiss. Ticket prices for ISU students and youth tickets are available for $25 and $59. Adult tickets are available for $25, $35, $45, $50 and $59. Tickets can be purchased in the Iowa State Center Ticket Office in the north entrance of Stephens Auditorium from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday; at all Ticketmaster centers; by phone: 1-800745-3000 or online via Ticketmaster. The show will continue the 2015-2016 Performing Arts series for Stephens and is the first of the new year. The last time the Moscow Festival Ballet brought “Sleeping Beauty” to Ames, in 1999, the company performed to a full house. The Moscow Festival Ballet was created in 1989 by Sergei Radchenko to unite the great Bolshoi and Kirov Ballet companies in the highest level of classical ballet. Even 126 years after the first performance in Russia, “Sleeping Beauty” is still considered the finest achievement of classical ballet. “This is classical Russian ballet, and everything is very precise,” said Peter Dake, company manager

for the ballet’s American tour. “The women are en pointe a lot. You will see the control, especially in the principle dancers, that the ballerinas have that is absolutely amazing. You wonder, how can they stay up there that long?” For those like Dake who are wondering, there will be a short session before the performance that will offer insights into how the ballerinas manage to do such amazing things. Beth Clarke, owner and artistic director of Beth Clarke Studio of Dance in Ames, will present a short preview and insights into “Sleeping Beauty” at 7 p.m. in the Celebrity Café area of Stephens Auditorium. Clarke has presented previously before ballets performing at Stephens Auditorium. “I enjoy educating audiences on the various aspects of dance,” Clarke said. This time she will speak about the evolution of the pointe shoe, as well as on how a pointe shoe actually works. “[My presentation] includes how the shoe provides the necessary support for the dancer to transfer her weight in two critical places, under the arch and around the toes,” Clarke said in an email discussing her presentation. “I’ll also give some background information on the invention of the shoe; who wore it first, how it’s changed over the past hundred years and how the shape of a dancer’s foot influences the style of the pointe shoe.” It is easy to forget how difficult ballet is when the dancers make it look effortless. In terms of technique, “Sleeping Beauty” puts the

dancers to the test. Performing the role of Aurora is considered a rite of passage or initiation for ballerinas. In one piece, she remains en pointe, or on the tips of her toes, leg extended behind her, while her suitors spin her like a music box. This move is iconic to the ballet. “It’s incredible what they do,” Dake said. “The men are very strong, some have aerial leaps that go very high. “It’s all about technique, about being fluid and smooth throughout the movement, and yet conveying the story because they’re acting too.” “Sleeping Beauty” is often recognized as classical ballet’s finest achievement.

That reputation comes from the original choreographer, Marius Petipa, and composer Tchaikovsky. The ballet is often considered Petipa’s crowning glory, and the Moscow Festival Ballet honors Petipa by closely maintaining the original choreography. Those familiar with Tchaikovsky’s magnificent scores will find many similarities to both “The Nutcracker” and “Swan Lake.” Treated as a comingof-age story for the young princess and centered around the activities of her 16th birthday, the ballet features three Adagios for Aurora, celebrating her girlhood, falling in love and her marriage. The ballet is honored for its mime, pas

d’action and divertissements, but there’s something to appeal to even the youngest viewer. “Every little schoolgirl wants to be a ballerina,” Dake said. “This is something to bring that youngster to watch. They know the story of Sleeping Beauty. To see that in dance and be able to follow that in the ballet is incredible. “If you look at the ballet, it’s just a pure art form. There’s something in there for everybody. It’s more than the ballerinas in their tutus and the men in their tights. It’s a cultural experience.” For more information, visit the Iowa State Center website at www.center.iastate.edu.

American actress and comedian Annie Lederman will host SUB’s Comedy Night at 9 p.m. Thursday at the Maintenance Shop. Admission to the c o m e d y s h o w , s p o nsored by SUB, is free and open to the public. Doors will open at 8:30 p.m. “Lederman displays her humor by relating to real life events and how people actually think about them, but do not want to say out loud themselves,” according to Lederman’s press release. Lederman has received a great deal of exposure from making regular appearances on “Chelsea Lately” and being a cast member on MTV’s “Girl Code,” while backing it up with appearances on Comedy Central’s “@ MIDNIGHT” with Chris Hardwick, the first season of Adam Devine’s “House Party” and “Last Call with Carson Daly.” Lederman most recently began hosting E!’s pop-culture news show “We Have Issues” and also voiced the character of Cheryl Fawkes in the video game “Grand Theft Auto V,” which has shipped more than 54 million units.

Winter Jam to return Friday By Jacob.Beals @iowastatedaily.com Winter Jam will return to Wells Fargo Arena at 6 p.m. Friday. Tickets are $10 at the door, and early admission Jam Nation passes can be purchased at Winter Jam’s website for $49.99. As one of Christian Music’s biggest annual tours, Winter Jam draws crowds in cities around the country because of the charttopping artists who travel on the tour. Twelve musical artists are set to perform Friday night — all from different parts of the country and globe. Here are some facts to know about each artist before Friday night: For King and Country-Sydney, Australia: For King and Country consists of two brothers who come from a family of nine. Their family has

had a major impact in their career, with their sister (also a singer) and their father, who worked in the music industry. Matthew West--Franklin, Tenn.: West has been nominated for an Emmy and four Grammys. He has released his own hits, such as “Hello My Name is”, and has written songs for other popular artists like country music’s Rascal Flatts. Crowder--Texarkana, Texas: Crowder (also known as David Crowder) has a wide discography that includes six albums with his former group, David Crowder Band, and one album as a solo artist. Along with his songs, Crowder has also written a couple of books. Lauren Daigle--Lafayette, La.: When Daigle was 15 she became very sick. This would be something that

gave her inspiration early on in life as a singer and a songwriter. Her latest album “How Can it Be” is one of the nominees at the upcoming Grammy awards in the category of Best Contemporary Christian Music Album. RED--Nashville, Tenn.: RED is known for its lyrics that tackle some of the harder parts of life. One of the goals of the group is to produce music that helps people work through the daily struggles of life. “Darkest Part” is one of RED’s most recent releases. NewSong--Atlanta, Ga.: NewSong started Winter Jam almost 20 years ago. The band has hosted it ever since, all while retaining its goals to bring Christian music to new people and give new artists a beginning and has released 18 albums. Sidewalk Prophets-Nashville, Tenn.:

Sidewalk Prophets has released three albums, including the most recent, “Something Different”. This is its first release in three years and the tracks for the album were written in a cabin in the country by two of the band members. KB--Tampa, Fla.: Before becoming a hip hop artist KB played the trumpet and studied theology in college. Tedashii--Houston, Texas: One of Tedashii’s goals as an artist is to get people to think, according to his biography. His lyrics are inspired by things that have happened in his life. Like fellow artists KB and Trip Lee, he also records with Reach Records. Trip Lee--Houston, Texas: Rapping since age 12, Trip Lee is currently signed with fellow rapper Lecrae’s Reach Records. Lee is also a pastor.

Stars Go Dim--Tulsa, Okla.: Stars Go Dim is an upand-coming Christian band and recently released its first self-titled album. We Are Messengers-Nashville, Tenn.: We Are Messengers singer Darren Mulligan was an atheist in the early part of his career. After he became a Christian he completely changed his lifestyle and the message and tone of

his music. Pastor Tony Nolan-Acworth, Ga.: Nolan has preached in cities all around the country to many people at a multitude of live shows like Winter Jam, but he also writes books and preaches at a church in Georgia. He had a tough childhood coming from an abusive family and has used his past to help him speak in his ministry. For more info about Winter Jam, visit its website.

Chairman appointed to Department of State By Elizabeth.Gray @iowastatedaily.com One ISU professor is trading his desk at Iowa State for a desk in Washington, D.C. Iowa State’s David Jiles, Anson Mortensen Distinguished Professor and Palmer Endowed Chairman for electrical and computer engineering, has been appointed to be a Jefferson Science Fellow for the U.S. Department of State for the 2016-2017 year. The Jefferson Science Fellowship is an appointed position administered by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine and supported through a partnership with the U.S. academic community, professional scientific societies, the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development. As a Jefferson Science Fellow, Jiles will work closely with the Depart-

David C. Jiles, Palmer Endowed Chairman for electrical and computer engineering was selected as a Jefferson Science Fellow as a scientific adviser to the Department of State.

ment of State as a scientific adviser on foreign policy issues. The fellowship is offered every year to a selected group of university professors. “Their job as field experts is to study problems, conduct research and discuss solutions to help

form policies,” said Arun Somani, associate dean of the electrical and computer engineering department. The Jefferson Fellows assignments are based in part on current issues at hand and come complete with opportunities to travel to U.S. embassies and research missions overseas. “I was very happy to hear the news,” Jiles said. “I didn’t think I’d get it.” Jiles has served as Palmer Endowed Chairman for the electrical and computer engineering department since October 2010. Jiles not only serves as chairman but is also a distinguished professor. His specific expertise is in the field of electromagnetics, and he has written three books, 21 patents and more than 600 scientific papers. Jiles said he plans to step down as Palmer Endowed Chairman for the upcoming year. Jiles will serve as chairman until his appointment begins in Washington, D.C.

Once his appointment ends, he will return as a distinguished professor. He will still remain available to the U.S. Government as a consultant for smaller projects after he returns. The selection process is currently taking place for the new Palmer Endowed Chair position. It is not clear who will replace Jiles after he leaves

for D.C. “This is obviously very prestigious,” Somani said. “For us at Iowa State it is a matter of pride. We are very happy that Iowa State has professors of this caliber to teach with us.” Jiles is the second professor to have been appointed from Iowa State’s College of Engineering. James Alleman, professor

of civil, construction and environmental engineering served as a Jefferson Science Fellow through the 2014-15 year. Alleman was also an ex-department chairman for the College of Engineering. “I feel very honored to represent Iowa State University as a Jefferson Fellow,” Jiles said.
