THE GOOD, THE BAD and THE UGLY

Student athletes face challenges managing social media profiles By Kenzi.Mongar @iowastatedaily.com

Kelby Wingert//Iowa State Daily

ISU men’s basketball forward Georges Niang has more than 26,000 followers on Twitter. Although there is no overall ISU Athletics policy for student athletes on social media, they must be careful of what they post because of how it can be interpreted.

magine trying to express your thoughts to more than 25,000 people on Twitter, nearly ten thousand more people than the capacity of Hilton Coliseum. For ISU basketball star Georges Niang, that’s just a normal day on his Twitter. Everything he says is monitored and can be interpreted differently. His actions and opinions are constantly watched by thousands of eyes. “Obviously, sometimes it’s a little much to take, but I think going into the situation you realize what you’re getting yourself into,” said Niang. College athletes on campus are sometimes treated like student celebrities, being easily recognized and expected to behave their best at all times. However, social media can make the fine line between right and wrong hazy for athletes.

“There’s a level of conduct we expect our student athletes to demonstrate,” said Steve Malchow, a senior associate director in the athletic department. Athletes at Iowa State attend an annual compliance meeting before school starts, which briefly touches on the subject of social media. The coaches are responsible for setting the majority of rules and one specific policy is not used for all sports. “I think the bigger part of the education occurs with the coaches and their teams,” Malchow said. Coaches are responsible for setting expectations of what’s appropriate concerning social media. The guidelines may vary depending on the sport. Athletes in more high profile sports such as football and basketball may have more restrictions than sports that do not have as many people following them. SOCIAL MEDIA p4

Obama delivers State of the Union ClubFest By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com In front of a joint session of Congress, executive branch officials, Supreme Court justices and dozens of guests, President Obama laid out his priorities for the upcoming year in his State of the Union Address. President Obama’s biggest proposal is a plan to hike taxes on the wealthiest to pay for middle class tax cuts. “Will we accept an economy where only a few of us do spectacularly well? Or will we commit ourselves to an economy that generates rising incomes and chances for everyone who makes the effort?” Obama said. The plan would close the so-called “Trust Fund Loophole,” which would bring in hundreds of billions of dollars on previously untaxed assets that are inherited. Obama’s plan also raises the top capital gains and dividends tax rate about 5 percent to 28 percent. Obama also wants to propose a fee on the biggest banks in the country, which would make it more costly for them to borrow money. Those three proposals would bring in an extra $320 billion in revenue. Obama wants to provide tax cuts to middle class families, proposing a $500 tax credit to families who have both spouses working. Another proposal would expand the Child

Care Tax Credit, giving up to a $3,000 credit per child under five years old. The extra revenue would also pay for Obama’s proposal to provide two free years of community college, a plan he unveiled in one of his preview speeches to the State of the Union. “The verdict is clear. Middleclass economics works. Expanding opportunity works,” Obama said. Obama said these policies will continue to work, but only if politics does not get in the way. “I don’t think the Democrats have any realistic chance that they are going to get anything like this passed,” said Mack Shelley, professor of political science at Iowa State. “But, raising taxes on the wealthy is not something that most of the public opposes. That resonates pretty well.” Iowa’s newly elected U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst was chosen to give the official Republican response. “There’s a lot we can achieve if we work together. Let’s sell more of what we make and grow in America over there so we can boost manufacturing, wages and jobs. Let’s iron out loopholes to lower rates and create jobs, not pay for more government spending,” Ernst said. “The president has already expressed some support for these kinds of ideas. We’re calling on him now to cooperate to pass them.” Obama also spent time talking about cyber security issues, a

topic that has garnered massive news coverage following the “hack-attack” on Sony Pictures. “No foreign nation, no hacker, should be able to shut down our networks, steal our trade secrets, or invade the privacy of American families. We are making sure our government integrates intelligence to combat cyber threats, just as we have done to combat terrorism,” Obama said. “Tonight, I urge this Congress to finally pass the legislation we need to better meet the evolving threat of cyber-attacks, combat identity theft and protect our children’s information.” Obama also discussed his plan to expand broadband access across the U.S., which he gave a speech previewing in Cedar Falls last week. “I intend to protect a free and open Internet, extend its reach to every classroom, and every community and help folks build the fastest networks, so that the next generation of digital innovators and entrepreneurs have the platform to keep reshaping our world,” Obama said. Obama also spent time talking about foreign policy, including the ongoing battle against ISIL, sometimes referred to as ISIS, and supporting opposition forces in Syria. “In Iraq and Syria, American leadership — including our military power — is stopping ISIL’s advance. Instead of getting dragged into another ground war

in the Middle East, we are leading a broad coalition, including Arab nations, to degrade and ultimately destroy this terrorist group,” Obama said. Obama called on Congress to specifically pass a resolution that would authorize the use of force against ISIL. Throughout his speech, Obama touted a growing economy and also discussed infrastructure, America being less dependent on foreign oil, equal pay and raising the minimum wage, winding down combat in Afghanistan, American troops fighting Ebola and climate change. Obama also called on Congress to end the embargo with Cuba. “Our shift in Cuba policy has the potential to end a legacy of mistrust in our hemisphere, removes a phony excuse for restrictions in Cuba, stands up for democratic values and extends the hand of friendship to the Cuban people,” Obama said. “This year, Congress should begin the work of ending the embargo.” Obama also stressed he would continue to persue his goal of closing the detention center at Guantanamo Bay. In her response, Ernst said the newly elected Republican Congress is ready to make Washington focus on American’s concerns again. “Americans have been

Iowa Voter Registration Commission authorizes online enrollment system By Eric.Wirth @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa Voter Registration Commission approved a rule allowing Iowa citizens with a state-issued driver’s license or photo identification to register to vote online, the Associated Press reported Jan. 20. The Associated Press reported that the current registration system requires voters to fill out a paper form to register to vote. While the IVRC’s decision does not require legislative approval, the

system will not be ready until early in 2016. The new system will allow eligible voters to input their Iowa driver’s license or ID number onto a webpage and from there the system would import the necessary voter information from the Department of Transportation’s files into the voter registration form. The completed registration form would then be automatically transferred to the Iowa voter database. The decision has sparked opposition from voter rights groups who

Members of the College of Human Sciences took a Human Development and Family Studies trip to South Korea last year. This May, students in the college will have the opportunity to visit South Africa and Chile.

Human Sciences extends opportunities By Vanessa.Franklin @iowastatedaily.com Studying abroad is a staple on many students’ college bucket list. This May, students in the College of Human Sciences will have the opportunity to check that box on their list as they travel to South Africa and Chile. These two international programs are new for the college. A trip to South Africa was offered last year, but due to lack of interest the trip had to be cancelled. “Our college has been focusing on, in this day and age, trying to get students to go to a place we are much less familiar with,” said Andrew Hong, director of international programs. “We were really focusing on diversifying the program. Luckily, we had some connections in South Africa and Chile, so it fits nicely with our goal to diversify the study abroad programs.” International Programs have found that students tend to travel to European countries more than anywhere else, with the top three destinations

being Britain, Spain and Italy. “Culturally, students feel more comfortable [in European countries],” Hong said. “The people look similar, the cultures are similar and so there is a comfort level there. We need to focus more on the world that we don’t quite know as well so that we can truly be globalized.” The trip to South Africa, open selectively for apparel, merchandising, and design, will last 18 days and focus on service learning. Students will work with people in the Limpopo Province, teaching them sewing techniques, basic mending of clothes and help them to create marketable products to provide an income for their families. For the second half of the trip, AMD students will meet with students majoring in apparel and hospitality at the University of Pretoria. Before the trip, AMD students will meet the Pretoria students via Skype. AMD students will also go on an African safari, as well as touring cultural sites in Pretoria. “The students will get to learn about [South Af-

rica’s] culture differences and how some things are very similar and some things are very different to what we do,” said Christina Denekas, director of the South Africa trip. “They will have an understanding of why some people do the things the way they do and I hope that they will be humbled.” The study abroad program in Chile, sponsored by the Department of Human Development and Family Studies, will include visiting social service agencies as well as the Catholic University of Chile. The trip, which spans 14 days, will allow students to analyze Chile’s education and human services systems. Each trip requires a minimum of nine students, but can only take a maximum of 12 participants. It will cost each student around $4,000 but the price goes down the more students participate. “You can’t put a price on immersing yourself in another culture,” Denekas said. Students interested in the trips must fill out an application on the ISUAbroad website. The deadline to

apply for the trip has been extended to Wednesday. Funding for the trips is also available. Both programs qualify students for the College of Human Sciences Tuition Award, as well as many other scholarships to help aid in the cost of the trip. Of the many reasons students have to study abroad, impressing future employers is definitely one that the international

programs want students to think about. “For any employer that students are going to work for, there will be international colleagues or international partners that you’re going to work with,” said Catie Funk, international programs administrative specialist. “On top of having that perspective, just having one trip when you were young lets you learn a world of things you

Board of Regents president invites two dozen presidential hopefuls to Agriculture Summit By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Bruce Rastetter, president of the Board of Regents and Iowa entrepreneur, has invited two dozen potential presidential candidates to a March forum in Des Moines to discuss agriculture, according to a press release. The first-ever Iowa Agriculture Summit is scheduled for Saturday, March 7 in Des Moines at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. “Every four years, Iowa becomes an epicenter of American politics, often shaping and almost always reflecting national policy movements. Unfortunately, until now, there has not been a forum solely dedicated to matters that directly affect Iowa farmers who feed and fuel not just the country, but the world,”

Rastetter said. Rastetter said the Summit will “highlight and promote agriculture,” but also bring together leaders from both Republican and Democratic political parties. “Most importantly, the bipartisan event will allow elected officials and public policy leaders to have a public discussion on issues that are vital to the Iowa and American economy,” Rastetter said. Rastetter has invited a combination of Republicans and Democrats who may run for president. Invited speakers on the Republican side: -Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush -Dr. Ben Carson -New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie -Texas Sen. Ted Cruz -Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina

-South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham -Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee -Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal -Ohio Gov. John Kasich -Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin -Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul -Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry -Former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney -Florida Sen. Marco Rubio -Former Penn. Sen. Rick Santorum -New York businessman Donald Trump -Wis. Gov.

drew Cuomo -Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley -U.S. Agriculture Secretary and former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack -Mass. Sen. Elizabeth Warren -Former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb Speakers will discuss agriculture issues including modern agriculture, renewable fuels, biosciences, genetically modified organisms, grain and livestock markets, land conservation and federal subsidies, according to a press release. “This format will create an environment for a serious discussion of the issues that matter most to Iowans and Americans: how do we feed the world and ensure that we have the strongest economy in an ever-more competitive global marketplace?” Rastetter said.

In any field, if you’re not exposed to this global or national scene, than in some ways you are actually behind.”

Faculty Senate declines program name change, advises less work By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com Don’t work quite as much, Faculty Senate President-Elect Robert Wallace told senate members. Wallace said most faculty members work an average of 55-60 hours a week for a 40-hour-a-week job, which leads to stress and burnt-out faculty. “The statistics keep piling up that we work more and more and more. Eventually, there’s going to be some stress created,” Wallace said. “Do you allocate enough time for you to do what you need to do outside your job?” Wallace said he knows many faculty members who work a full day, go home to work a few more hours at 9 or 10 p.m., go to bed and wake up and go to work again. “It’s the nature of the beast. With more and more commitments to service and to teaching, all that’s got to be covered in your job responsiblities, you cannot shirk those responsibilities,” Wallace said. Wallace recommended faculty read an article by Colleen Flaherty called “So Much To Do, So Little Time.” Wallace said the article will help faculty learn ways to optimize their time to spend less time working but still be as efficient and hard-working as they need

SOCIAL MEDIA p1 “To have something black and white is very difficult in something like this because something somebody may post on social media may be really offensive to someone but isn’t to someone else,” Malchow said. Fans and followers who don’t know athletes personally can find it easy to criticize or misunderstand athletes’ posts. Niang said they don’t need to set a specific policy. “The university does a good job of letting the coaches handle their players,” Niang said. Mistakes happen and athletes sometimes run into trouble, whether it’s social media or not. The common problem is not that the athletes are trying to look bad or offend anyone, it’s that some athletes have better judgment of what may look bad or offensive on social media in general. It’s often just having the knowledge of how to word your opinion or statements. “You can express your feeling in a better way just by the choice of words you use,” said P.J. Harris, an ISU football player. It’s questionable whether athletes need more training with how to communicate and better express themselves to a large audience. Many schools prohibit their athletes from having social media accounts at all. The banning of social media is not something that has been strongly considered for Iowa State, said Calli Sanders, a senior associate director of athletics. Iowa State chooses to take the learning approach instead of restricting athletes because it will help them in the future, Malchow said. The athletic department doesn’t believe changes in managing the

ADDRESS p1 hurting, but when we demanded solutions, too often Washington responded with the same stale mindset that led to failed policies like Obamacare. It’s a mindset that gave us political talking points, not serious solutions,” Ernst said. Ernst said that Americans “will see a lot of serious work” done in the new Congress. “But history has shown there’s nothing our

to be. “Use the control you can muster to change those allocations on how you’re working for the university versus time you’re saving to decompress and pursue other interests,” Wallace said. “If you’re working all the time, that’s a psychological issue, that’s a health issue, that’s a wellness issue.” Wallace said if faculty can manage to accomplish their professional goals and tasks during work time, they will be happier and be able to work more efficiently, which will benefit the university in the long run. The Faculty Senate also voted not to pass a renaming of a program currently labeled as Operations Research to Operations Analytics. The program of Operations Research is a master’s program that involves using mathematical simulation models to solve problems involving operational systems and the name is “somewhat antiquated,” according to the proposal. Janis Terpenny, professor in industrial and manufacturing systems engineering and sponsor of the proposal, said calling the program “Operations Analytics” would show that the program is an “effective use of modern computing and high-

volume data.” “We thought with the university and the nation’s priority in the area of data and analytics, that this was actually a strategic advantage that the courses and the faculty and the students at Iowa State could rise to the occasion at that table,” Terpenny said. All of the courses and faculty for the program already exist, so the program is really a no-brainer because it would use the resources the university already has, Terpenny said. Though students have not been enrolled in this program for several years, Terpenny said senators in favor of changing the program name to “Operations Analytics” talked to constituents in the field who said they would hire students who graduated from the program. However, some senators such as Veronica Dark, professor of psychology, said she believes the proposal is actually a new master’s degree proposal. “If you actually take a look at it, it’s not really a name change. It’s the establishment of a new master’s,” Dark said. “When it came to the Senate floor last month, a question was asked about the program. The response was there were no students in this program. There have not been students in this program for quite a long

time.” Sen. Steven Freeman, professor in agricultural and biosystems engineering, said he agrees that the program would be an “easy sell” because the classes already exist and it would benefit students, but the proposal needs to come as a new master’s degree, not a name change. Freeman said he doesn’t believe the current degree is still a degree since it is not listed on the course catalog and has not had students enrolled in 20 years. Freeman said he is now wondering what other programs have slipped through unnoticed that the Senate should have eliminated. Sen. Sarah Ryan, professor in industrial and manufacturing systems engineering and sponsor of the bill, provided a statement saying the Senate did not eliminate the program because the process would need to be approved by the Board of Regents and the Senate “would be in the position for the proposal to discontinue one program and simultaneously initiate a new program that is merely an update in a sideby-side comparison.” The Senate did not pass the proposal. The Senate also elected Jonathan Sturm, who ran unopposed as next year’s President-Elect.

athletes’ usage are necessary at this time. Harris said his coaches are mature about it but the team should get more guidance with expressing themselves to a large audience. “Outside our sport, we feel like we have to represent our sport in a certain way but we are students and we are on social media sites. Whatever we say on sites we might think is the norm,” Harris said. When it comes to personal opinion or thoughts, it’s hard to say what’s normal and what is not. Some people are better at judging their content than others. When it comes to social media, athletes have to be extra cautious, which can be difficult when being instigated or criticized for how they perform. It can be overwhelming during their season. Athletes must decide if they’re crossing the line when they choose to acknowledge fans who use inappropriate language or take ISU athletics too seriously. “Nobody is trying to purposely mess up or have a bad game, it’s stuff that just naturally happens,” Niang said. The fine line falls on athletes who choose to acknowledge fans who use inappropriate language and take it too seriously. Niang said he knows how to “play along with it.” He’s replied to tweets using humor. A few examples include a photo of his Big 12 championship ring or a photo of him scoring against an Iowa basketball player during the traditional rivalry football game between Iowa and Iowa State. The tweet got 831 retweets and 1,578 favorites. “I probably shouldn’t have sent that out,” Niang said. “I was just happy for the football team and figured I’d go along with the Hawkeye fans coming at me.” And when it’s the op-

posite, such as thousands of fans praising him after games on Twitter, Niang knows how to stay humble. “Everyone loves you when you’re doing well but you can always improve,” Niang said. ISU quarterback Sam B. Richardson chose to acknowledge negative tweets directed at him instead of responding to them after a game. He reposted them for others to see. “People need to know the fine line of what’s okay and not okay,” Niang said. “There are kids that follow us.” Iowa basketball coach Fran McCaffrey forced his players to shut down their Twitter accounts last year after senior Zach McCabe lashed out at his critics after a game. If athletes refrain from posting controversial material and giving into twitter attacks, they still face the risk of association. They can’t be around anything inappropriate or with anyone who could look bad, such as alcohol or bad language. Even if what they are doing is what they are supposed to, if something looks bad, then they may be seen as guilty. They must learn to be conscious of how they may be seen at all times. “I have to put my sport first and I have to always be thinking about my team when I go out,” Harris said. “I’m always thinking about my team, like ‘will this look bad? What will my coach think? What will my coach do to me if I get in trouble?’” The paranoia and restrictions is something they have learned to make habit. The ISU gymnastics coaches require their gymnasts to follow them on all social media sites to monitor what they are posting. “Everyone’s idea of socially acceptable pictures or comments is different, it’s definitely a learning curve for kids and some

it’s not a problem,” said Kristin Maloney, an ISU assistant gymnastics coach. Female athletes also have to take more caution in what they are wearing in pictures in order to avoid criticism from the public. With some sports being watched more extensively than others, rules differentiate between high profile and low profile. Gymnastics has a smaller audience but many young gymnasts follow the girls on the team and seek them out after their gymnastic meets. Kristen Decosta, an ISU gymnast, said it’s hard to see negative criticism toward any ISU athlete when practicing so many hours a week plus having student responsibilities. “A lot of people forget how much time and effort we put into it and are so quick to bad-mouth us,” Decosta said. “Just because we have Iowa State on our back at all times, that should not make us invincible.” Bad-mouthing does not only happen with nonathlete students. An incident last year involved an ISU football player tweeting about the ISU basketball team while they were losing. He ended up getting suspended for a short time. The gray area of today’s social media will probably never be defined. If athletes were given more guidance on how to deal with public exposure, it might prevent problems they face with social media. As of right now, Iowa State does not have a program for athletes; they understand they have to watch their content. “I don’t think anyone would go out and disrespect their family. Our sport is like your last name. Everyone in your family has the same last name and you want to represent your family,” Harris said. The top ten athletes on Twitter.

nation, and our people, can’t accomplish,” Ernst said in a hint that Republicans may work together with the White House in the coming year. Shelley said Ernst did a good job at delivering her response, unlike some Republicans in the past. “She’s kind of been anointed as a rising star in the party. We’ll see if she continues to skyrocket to fame or fortune, or if something else happens,” Shelley said.

Shelley also took notice on the GOP response not mentioning many specific ideas. “There wasn’t really a whole lot of factuallybased, or substantive initiatives. I think that was kind of the whole point of the presentation, avoid specifics and try to project a broad welcoming image for the new Republican majority,” Shelley said. In the end, Obama also called on America to work “together” for a

“brighter future.” “My fellow Ameri cans, we too are a strong, tight-knit family. We, too, have made it through some hard times. Fifteen years into this new century, we have picked ourselves up, dusted ourselves off, and begun again the work of remaking America. We’ve laid a new foundation. A brighter future is ours to write,” Obama said. “Let’s begin this new chapter — together — and let’s start the work right now.”

Cooperation still essential for progress in nation Iowa State Daily

Columnist Woods has lived in Iowa her entire life and knows most other students have also, but those who have and haven’t must make adjustments to the weather.

Weather presents challenges Students must adapt to poor conditions By Zoe.Woods @iowastatedaily.com

he weather, an awesome yet unpredictable force, should not be reckoned with. It has shown its power through all of human history with sand storms, tsunamis, tornados and hurricanes. Humans suffer the torrid heat and bitter cold on a daily basis. The human species has shown great resilience to the drastic changes in weather. Adaptation has been key to the survival against this great force and as time and technology surge on, humans have been increasingly able to cope with the weather’s overwhelming presence. For the most part, humans have been able to live with the hushed ubiquity of weather. But even with our technology, the weather is still dangerous. Because it has an uncontrollable and intense nature, humans have no choice but to adapt. As Yann Martel said, “all living things contain a measure of madness that moves them in strange, sometimes inexplicable ways. This madness can be saving, it is part and parcel of the ability to adapt. Without it, no species would survive.” How do humans adapt? In lucid terms, thorough preparation. You can expect a certain weather pattern, due to the faithfulness of a given climate. In the South, one could reasonably predict warmer temperatures,

with consideration for the occasional heat wave. As for the North, seasonal changes bring freezing conditions. When you live in a certain area of the world like Iowa, you will experience a wide range of weather from sweltering heat to numbing cold. These unstable conditions are a humbling experience for all people. In the winter, Iowa often experiences intense temperatures. As northerners, we have come to expect this. It’s our job as inhabitants of this state to equip ourselves with the necessary tools. You can’t change the weather, and life continues. Businesses don’t close as a result of extremely cold temperatures and employees are required to work. Likewise, colleges should be held to a similar standard and it would appear they have been. Colleges, especially Iowa State, are not known for closing down because of uncomfortable circumstances. I applaud this effort. Of course, there are safety conditions that must be considered, but we humans, who have survived the worst plights, can certainly endure a day in the freezing cold. You cannot blame the college if you are ill prepared to walk outside in a combination of frostbite and snow. It is you who must take responsibility, humble yourself and adapt. Through adaptation, we can survive and conquer the icy temperatures. To summon the words of Robert

A. Heinlein, “the instinct to survive is human nature itself and every aspect of our personalities derives from it.” The university cannot make an absolute decision based on only a few people. The resolution to not close dissipates from being a desire to becoming a commitment. The college is committed to its students to remain functioning. From the obvious reasoning of money, to the obligatory reasoning of duty, it is only under the most extreme of conditions that hands are forced, with those conditions not being a frigid atmosphere. Whether by toasty afternoons or frosty mornings, of late, the college must continue to operate. It then is not a matter of hiding from the weather, it’s a matter of preparedness. To be obvious, wear mittens and a hat, leave the flip-flops at home and don’t wear shorts for the sake of manliness. Don’t be afraid of the cold, but instead relish it. In some ways, it heightens the awareness of being human. We must confront the elements and boost our tolerance to the cold. This includes experiencing the biting wind in your face and the crisp air that ices your lungs. You can’t change it, so adapt to it. In its infinite diversity, weather becomes not an enemy to the human race but a harsh friend that we can learn to cope with. Humans will forever change in response to the weather, as surely we must.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Kletscher represents students not self By Robert Dunn, senior in pre-business In Tuesday’s issue of the Iowa State Daily, former GSB Election Commissioner Adam Guenther wrote a letter attacking the current Student Body President Hillary Kletscher and Vice President Mike Hoefer. The accusation was that they both engaged in bribery, “buying votes,” and other unethical behaviors. I first met GSB President Kletscher while she was cam-

paigning and she came across as genuinely concerned about students. I had no clue about GSB untill I met her. I admit that I did vote for her due to the fact that she and Mike took the time to reach out to me as a new student. During the VEISHEA task force meetings, I observed her making a tough but necessary decision to support retiring VEISHEA. While we have a lot that we disagree on, she has always shown me courtesy and respect. The notion that President

Kletscher is “in this for herself” is ludicrous. The only people on GSB who appear to be “in it for themselves” are the few senators who have spent the entirety of the fall semester nitpicking and plotting to bring President Kletscher down because of the fact that they are sore losers. Again, while I may not agree with her on everything, I have the utmost respect for her. For instance, she encouraged me to get involved with GSB. Even after I encountered

opposition and became frustrated with the process and pettiness of some senators, President Kletscher listened to me and provided constructive criticism to my approach. I never received this from the Senate. The problem with GSB is not President Kletscher, but a senate that spends too much time trying to pick a fight with her rather than work for the students who elected them. Thank you President Kletscher for all you have done for ISU students.

Upon arriving for their new session, the U.S. Congress, now Republicancontrolled, made it abundantly clear that their priority is to continue the divisive nature of national politics, which has always plagued this nation but has been especially noteworthy over the past six years. One of the first actions that Congress took was to defund President Obama’s immigration reform program. Should this effort fail, Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) of Virginia and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, believes that Congress’ next step should be to take Obama to court. Regardless of the opposing feelings of Congress, to set the tone for the session as one of destructive rather than constructive policy reform offers little to no hope for progress, no matter your political affiliation. If the prerogative of this new Congress is to denounce and destruct the actions of Obama, then let them. However, if there is any hope for progress in the next two years, then Congress must propose reforms of their own. The problem is not that they are fighting policy, that is their Constitutional right and indeed their responsibility. The problem lies in the possibility that Congress will revoke important policy changes in order to maintain the status quo, adding no new laws of their own to fill the new void left in their wake. If, as Republicans suggest, the overwhelming number of election victories for the Grand Old Party is indicative of Americans growing weary of Democratic policy — and more specifically Obama — then it must also be obvious that Americans did not vote for the same unbearable political gridlock that has characterized Obama’s time in the White House. The GOP will not bend because they feel that the voting Americans have provided them some sort of “divine right” to wipe the slate clean of government policy. President Obama will not bend because he is a seventh-year president with nothing left to lose. Interestingly enough, this “renegade” version of Obama is seeing his highest approval ratings in recent memory after announcing plans to reform immigration, as well as education and relations with Cuba. Judging by the mass-election of Republicans and Obama’s rising approval numbers, it would seem that the most productive path lies somewhere in between extremes on either side of the aisle, which is exactly where the two parties must aim. Bipartisanship is still the only way forward for the United States.

CALMING THE CATS McKay, Nader come up big in win against Kansas State By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com Few things are guaranteed in Big 12 play this season, but close games are about as constant as anything. So it was no surprise when first-place Kansas State battled with No. 9 Iowa State for 40 minutes in a back-and-forth game. However, when the ball was tipped, Kansas State (11-8, 4-2 Big 12) had its five most important players on the court, all of whom would combine for 91.5 percent of the Wildcats’ points on the night. For Iowa State (14-3, 4-1 Big 12), its most potent weapons didn’t even make an appearance until about five minutes into the game. Cue the entrance music for Jameel McKay and Abdel Nader. In just 49 combined minutes of game action, the duo scored 26 points, pulled down 13 rebounds and blocked four shots at critical points in the game, none more important than Nader’s hustle play in transition to block a KSU layup with the game tied. “That was the play of the game,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg. “Not only did he block it, he kept it in bounds and that allowed us to go down and get an offensive possession.” The offensive possession led to points, and McKay and Nader combined for three more rebounds in the final minutes

to seal the game. That’s all without mentioning the defensive effort inside that forced Kansas State into outside shots. Unfortunately for Iowa State, those shots fell early and often for the Wildcats, leading KSU guard Nino Williams to a career-high 22 points with fellow guard Marcus Foster chipping in 16 of his own. But when the KSU shooters started cooling off, McKay and Nader turned up the heat. “With four minutes left and it’s a tie game, it’s door-die,” McKay said. “We didn’t want to drop one after a big win last week over Kansas. We just knew it was gut-check time and we had to get stops.” But as the Cyclones have shown time and time again, the distribution of statistics is nearly even across the board as a team, showing that Iowa State can’t be beat by shutting down one or two players. Five Cyclones ended in double figures and five pulled down at least five rebounds. With 15 assists on 27 baskets, unselfish play continues to be the top priority under coach Hoiberg. It’s what has led the Cyclones to three-straight NCAA tournaments and has been key in the team’s 4-1 start in conference play — the best conference start since 2000. But against a Kansas State team that could prove to be a tough test for many in the Big 12, it was the big

men off the bench that proved to be the difference. But after a night of guarding KSU big-man Thomas Gipson, one of the biggest centers in the conference, McKay, and the Cyclones for that matter, may just be happy the game is over with. “Have you ever wrestled a grizzly bear? That’s what he’s like,” said Georges Niang of Gipson. “Running into those forearms,

I’m sure Jameel’s chest will be hurting him tomorrow.” With Big 12 play heating up, McKay and the Cyclones will get a bit of a break after back-to-back dogfights with the Kansas schools. Iowa State is off until Saturday, when they travel to Lubbock, Texas to take on a struggling Texas Tech team that is winless in the Big 12. But just as the Cyclones treated the Kansas

State game after a potential hangover from the circus that was ESPN’s College GameDay against Kansas three days prior, Iowa State isn’t looking past anyone as they hope to maintain their lead in the conference standings. “With this schedule the way it is, the Big 12 ... nine teams have been ranked in the top 25, so we’ve got to focus on the old cliché ‘one game at a time,’” Hoiberg

said. “Our focus tomorrow, the guys will get a good day off from practice, but they’ll get treatment and I’m sure a lot of them will come in to get shots and then we’ll get back to work on Thursday.” But for now, McKay, Nader and the Cyclones can celebrate a Big 12 win that may serve as a good indicator of what the team can accomplish heading into the heart of the conference schedule.

‘Press break’ key in Cyclones rematch against Horned Frogs By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com As much as the players wish they could forget what happened earlier this season when they first squared off against TCU, ISU coach Bill Fennelly will not let that happen. Players were greeted at Monday’s practice at Hilton Coliseum with the scoreboard reading TCU 86, Iowa State 84 — a constant reminder of the Cyclones’ second half col-

lapse and TCU’s upset victory against the Cyclones two weeks ago. “When we were warming up [Fennelly] said, ‘If you ever don’t feel motivated, look at the scoreboard,’ and its true,” said guard Nicole “Kidd” Blaskowsky. “When you get in a game like that, having the lead that we had and we end up getting upset … it’s not happening here. We have business that we need to take care of.” In the two teams’ first matchup this season, the

Cyclones built up a 44-21 halftime lead and appeared to be cruising towards a dominating victory. The Horned Frogs had a different idea as they stormed all the way back from the 23-point deficit and won on layup with 1.6 seconds remaining. “They’re a team that has picked a style that’s a little unique in our league and it’s press like crazy and see what happens,” Fennelly said. The Cyclones were plagued by both injury and foul trouble with their key ball handlers, which opened the door for TCU’s press to wreak havoc. Point guard Jadda Buckley was struggling with a foot injury and guard Nikki Moody only played 15 minutes due to foul trouble. TCU’s press forced a few turnovers, turned those into a few baskets and relinquished momentum. Once the ball got rolling

for TCU, there was no stopping it. “Everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong,” Fennelly said.

Moody was forced to watch much of the game from the bench due to her foul trouble. Without her on the court, the Cyclones struggled to break the press and were never able to get back to their first-half form. “It was a struggle,” Moody said. “Especially knowing that I can’t go out and help my teammates.” For the rematch, Moody hopes to remain on the court as much as possible with Buckley being out for the foreseeable future due to her lingering injury. If Moody cannot avoid foul trouble, the Cyclones will be relying on true freshman Nakiah Bell, who only averages 12 minutes a game, to break TCU’s press alongside Blaskowsky, who is more of a shooter than a

ball-handler. “I just think we panicked,” Blaskowsky said of their press break struggles against TCU. That makes for an easy solution for the Cyclones when they see TCU’s press this time around. “We just have to relax more, you know, stop making bad turnovers and just play the way we know how to play, don’t play to their level,” Blaskowsky said. “We have to be in control of the game offensively and when they start pressing us we can’t panic, we just need to relax and move the ball up the floor like we know how to.” That, of course, is easier said than done. The Cyclones will take on the Horned Frogs at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Hilton Coliseum.

Iowa State ranks inside list of fittest universities By Jasmine.Schillinger @iowastatedaily.com The time is 5 p.m. at State Gym and the odds of a squat rack opening up are slim to none, although the perfect work-out atmosphere is in the air from the humidity of sweat to weights hitting the floor. “Living a healthy lifestyle impacts a lot of aspects in your life,” said Jake Petrzelka, senior in genetics who has worked for ISU Recreation Services for the past four years. “Exercise and eating healthy is a part of achieving that lifestyle.” Iowa State recently placed 17th on the list of top-25 fittest colleges in the nation by Men’s Fitness magazine and third nationally in providing students with opportunities to stay fit by Muscle and Fitness magazine. Iowa State has proved to be a strong contender in the world of college fitness. Nora Hudson, assistant director of fitness and wellness, explains how our university manages to compete with some of the best in the country. “[One thing] these articles look at is if our classes are up in the higher end of the programmatic and equipment facilities as the trends,” Hudson said. “A lot of our classes are in line with what’s trending in the fitness industry today.” Men’s Fitness considers a number of different areas when ranking colleges, such as how many facilities there are, types of equipment offered, food offered at dining centers and other opportunities offered within the school to stay active. The number of students who actually take advantage of the opportunities offered on campus are also taken into consideration. “Studies have shown that 98 percent of our students, at some point, have came into our facilities,” Hudson said. Many people think the majority of this healthy movement comes from the university, but the city of Ames plays a big role in supporting this lifestyle as well. “The city definitely impacts these results,” Hudson said. “The fact that we have CyRide, we have numerous bicycle routes, a variety of dining services offered ... there are so

many things that go into saying our students are healthy.” Hudson admits that making the top-25 fittest colleges in the country is a nice recognition but it’s not an important end goal they strive to achieve. “Our first priority is to ask ourselves how are we matching the needs and interests of the students at Iowa State,” Hudson said. “We look more in achieving goals in higher education associations.” Iowa State continues to provide their students with state of the art facilities like the newly renovated State Gym that opened on Jan. 8, 2012 and active opportunities that students are taking advantage of. “I haven’t seen any other schools have the commitment to so many activities and clubs that we do here,” Hudson said. “We’re going to do our best to give the students the facilities, the space and the experiences — from there it’s how they choose to use them.” T h e r e a r e a p p r o x imately 160 group fitness opportunities between both recreation centers, with 250 student staff working in both facilities. 100 of the students are fitness instructors and 60 are lifeguards. “Once classes get out, it starts picking up and it will get busier progressively throughout the night,” said Petrzelka.” [During peak hours], I’ve made friends here I wouldn’t of made if I never stepped foot into the gym, and exercise is definitely a good getaway from school and distraction from everything.” ISU Recreation had an average of 3,640 visitors per week last year and a turnout of 37,853 total visits just last week. The ISU recreation centers have become a getaway from the hectic lifestyle of college students, offering a variety of services including free group fitness classes, one-on-one personal training and the Rec Miler club designed to encourage healthy habits and help students stay interested and involved in a regular exercise program. Smart Start Orientation is available for any student who would like help understanding the rec facilities and how to use basic equipment. Check out www.recservices.iastate.edu for more details.

out of being a member,” Crist said. Crystal Jones-Sotomayor, senior in genetics and president of iResearch, explained her second experience with ClubFest. “ClubFest has helped my club to get more members,” Jones-Sotomayor said. “We started with only the cabinet members, and thanks to ClubFest, students got encouraged with the benefits of our organization.” iResearch is a club that attempts to create an environment for professional networking, build career availability awareness and development for undergraduate students in STEM fields. The club also encourages students to network with faculty about graduate school, internships and other

research opportunities. Kaitlyn Romitti, senior in dietetics and president of the Collegiate 4-H club, talked about how many students are encouraged by ClubFest. “We usually get a few from the first Clubfest in the fall,” Romitti said. ”And fewer from the one in the spring.” Romitti gave advice to other clubs that want to get involved in the showcase. “Be friendly and have fun,” Romitti said. “We may join extracurricular activities for professional development, to give back, or to learn new things, but the most important reason people will stay is because it is welcoming and a place for belonging, which is very important when you are in a new and constantly changing environment at college.”
