magine a device that could help reduce food waste while improving nutrition across the globe. A tool that is efficient, portable and easily accessible to citizens living in some of the world’s poorest countries. Five ISU students imagined such a tool and their creation has earned them a trip to Portugal and a chance to win $10,000 in the 2015 Thought for Food Challenge. Founded in 2011 by Christine Gould, senior public policy manager at Syngenta, the Thought for Food Challenge is an annual competition for teams of university students across the globe to “uproot the status quo” by presenting innovative solutions for feeding Earth’s growing population. In September 2014, Mikayla Sullivan, a thensophomore in global resource systems, organized a team with her fellow global resource systems students called the Gung-ho Globies. Students in global adjective wholeheartedly enthusiastic and loyal; eager; zealous resource systems who volunteered for the team include seniors Clayton Mooney and Elise Kendall, sophomore Ella Gehrke, and Alexandria Wilson, freshman in animal science. Together, the five created KinoSol, a personal food dehydrator with unique capabilities. And out of 336 entries from 51 different countries, the Gungho Globies team was one of 10 chosen to attend the challenge. Courtesy of Gung-ho Globies “The main point of the project is to come up with KinoSol, engineered by five ISU students, is a food dehydrator that

Parking illegally includes consequences By Jace.Dostal @iowastatedaily.com Parking on campus can present some issues to students if they do not know the Department of Public Safety parking division’s policies. Some violations are warrant to receiving a ticket, while others can result in having your car get towed. According to the DPS parking division manual, penalties include: - The Department of Public Safety may remove any vehicle considered to be abandoned, left unattained on a street or a traffic hazard in a parking lot. - Any vehicle with an accumulation of three unpaid violations may be subject to impoundment and held until payment is made. The violations must be more than 15 business days old, and not under appeal. - Impounded vehicles are the responsibility of the vehicle’s registered owner, according to DPS Parking Division records. - Impounded bicycles may be claimed within a three month period after impoundment upon proper identification, penalty payment and a $5 impoundment fee. - Impounded bicycles not claimed after three months will be sold at an auction. Proceeds will go to ISU Surplus. Most violations are not intentional according to Mark Miller, parking manager with the Department of Public Safety. “We try to contact people before we tow the car. A lot of times people will say ‘thank you’ because they didn’t realize they were parked illegally and they will move the car right away,” Miller said. Miller said that cars are usually towed because they have a counterfeit permit, or they are in a fire lane or blocking a road. The day before a football game is always the busiest day for towing on campus. Miller said when cars are still

parked in the lot the day before a game, they send out two emails. Then if there is no response, the vehicle is towed. To some ISU students, the parking problem can be easily fixed. When asked about parking on campus, Mark Serovy, freshman in industrial technology, responded with a satirical “good luck.” “I wish they had more parking closer to campus, like parking ramps,” Serovy said.

time officers and 15 to 20 student officers, depending on people’s schedules. These officers can be seen patrolling the campus and issuing citations when needed. If a student receives a parking ticket, they can pay it in six different ways, according to the ISU parking division website: - Mail citation via campus mail to DPS parking, Room 27 Armory. - Mail citation through U.S. mail at DPS parking, Room 27, Ames, IA 50011. - Drop citations in the drop
box at the customer service counter of the parking office at room 27, Armory Building. - Bring payment to the parking office, Room 27, Armory Building during regular business hours. - Pay through Accounts Receivable (U-Bill). - Mail a check to the Treasurer’s Office, 1220 Beardshear Hall, Ames, IA 50011. According to the ISU parking division, if your car has been towed, it can be found at Elmquist Deckers.
By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com At Wednesday’s meeting, the Government of the Student Body created a new committee to focus on solving problems with campus transportation, specifically how it relates to the bike share program. After members of GSB recognized problems with traffic and transportation around campus and especially on Osborn Drive, the Transportation Committee was created and will meet biweekly for eight weeks. Members will gather information and opinions from faculty, administration and students to see if they would like to see GSB reconsider supporting a bike share program that could alleviate traffic around campus. The committee will also look to see how to solve issues created with traffic and CyRide routes if a bike share program was implemented. Mechanical engineering, industrial design and community and regional planning students took up the bike share program in a 300-level industrial design class after GSB decided not to fund it last fall. Since then, a 70page feasibility study report was completed. One of the reasons GSB decided not to fund the program last semester was because a feasibility study had not been completed. Transportation Committee members will be able to see the report soon and determine whether or not to support the program. At the end of the eight weeks, the committee will provide a report of their findings to the Senate for review. Senators Abbie Lang and Austin Thielmann, along with Vice Speaker of the Senate Dan Breitbarth, were seated on the committee. President Hillary Kletscher also delivered her State of the Student Body address, outlining the upcoming goals she wishes to accomplish for the next semester and updating the Senate on the improvements made last semester. “When reflecting on the academic year so far, I thought of the Government of the Student Body’s Mission Statement: ‘to serve students and improve the student experience through advocacy and empowerment,’” Kletscher said. “What have we done? What are we planning to do? And where else can we serve the student body?” At the end of last semester, GSB created a list of three things they asked the administration to try to improve immediately to ease the strains of enrollment growth. On that list was expanding hours of operation and increasing staff at Thielen Student Health Center and Student Counseling Service, alleviate the long lines at testing centers and addressing the need for more parking and less traffic on campus. Finance Director Abhijit Patwa and Sen. Evan Abramsky met with the administration and a consulting firm to determine how to expand the Student

If plans are approved, an oil pipeline will cross 343 miles of Iowa land and 14 of the those would stretch through Story County. Approximately 570,000 barrels of oil would flow through Iowa each day.
Professor, student discuss oil pipeline By Jace.Dostal @iowastatedaily.com A new oil pipeline may be crossing Iowa. The Dakota Access Pipeline is planned to cross 1,134 miles from North Dakota to Illinois. A total of 343 miles will run across Iowa, over 14 miles of which are planned to go through Story County. The pipeline is planned to run from western North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois, where it will connect with other pipelines heading to the Gulf Coast, according to Energy Transfer, the company contracted to install the pipeline. The pipeline comes in the wake of the Bakken Oil Boom, which began in 2006. The boom has sparked renewed debates about the fracking of oil and the hazards that it can cause. In 2013 Taylor Brorby, graduate student in English, was traveling through the Bakken formation in western North Dakota, on a grant to help teach creative writing classes with English Professor Debra Marquart. Brorby is originally
from the Bakken area, but left just before the boom happened. While he was traveling, Brorby saw for the first time what the boom was doing to the land he loved. “Seeing it, in particular at night, the best analogy I can tell people is if people are religious and they know the Lake of Fire and the Book of Revelation, that looks like a pleasant summer cruise to me,” Brorby said. “When you drive through there, you’re used to the night sky and it being dark, but then you see flares flickering all around you. And eventually the scary thing is, you kind of get used to it.” The trip inspired Brorby to begin writing about what he saw in the Bakkan. “I felt some sort of responsibility to share at least what I’m seeing and also what I knew before the boom,” Brorby said. Along with his writing, Brorby has been traveling around the country, giving lectures about the dangers of fracking. “The only place I
haven’t been able to get an invitation to is North Dakota,” Brorby said. Brorby sees these lectures as not only a time to teach, but also a time to have conversations — a time to ask questions and really think about the issue. Brorby said that he thinks people have a mindset of “if you work on an issue, you must have an answer,” but he doesn’t think that is the case. “I don’t fully know what [the answer] is because now that since the boom is going, when it stops we will have a new host of issues,” Brorby said. “I can tell you some of the negative sides to the boom, but the negatives of what we will see are, to my mind, going to be much worse over the long term.” Brorby said the negative effects could include air pollution, water pollution, crop destruction and earthquakes. Proponents of the pipeline look to the LacMégantic rail disaster of 2013 for confirmation that the pipeline is a good thing. On July 6, 2013, a rail car
carrying crude oil from the Bakken derailed and exploded, killing 42 people. The pipeline will negate the uses of trains, and, the proponents argue, make it safer to move the oil. Also, without the oil taking up rail space, there will be more room for livestock to be transported by rail. “I’d much rather have that crude running through a pipeline than filling up rail cars,” Charles Hoffman, rancher and former Republican legislator, told the Argus Leader. In June 2014, Energy Transfer officials began talking with Iowa officials to set up a plan for installing the pipeline. In the plan, they assured officials the pipeline will be safe and agreed to pay a percentage of any damages that occur due to the pipeline — a promise that Brorby does not believe is possible to fulfill. “The company that’s proposing to build this pipeline has only set aside $250,000 worth of insurance. That gives you a few acres to clean up, that’s not a lot of insurance that way,”
Brorby said. Along with their promise, Energy Transfer said that the pipeline would help stimulate Iowa’s economy and provide many jobs to Iowans. David Swenson, associate scientist in economics, said that is not entirely true. “The numbers they used at first were very, very wrong,” Swenson said. Out of the 7,600 jobs Energy Transfer says they will provide in a year, Swenson claims that only 3,800 will be provided. The pipes that they say will be manufactured in Iowa will really come from other states, Swenson said, because Iowa does not have any manufacturers who make the specialized pipes needed. Swenson believes many construction jobs will come from out of state as well because he says Iowa workers do not have recent enough experience to work on a project of this size. Energy Transfer could not be reached for comments. If the plans for the pipeline are approved, con-
struction is scheduled to begin later this year — a time that Brorby believes Iowa is not prepared for. “[The pipeline] will cross eight major watersheds, both the Missouri and the Mississippi [Rivers] will be crossed,” Brorby said. “It will come right through Story County if this thing gets built.” Brorby understands that not everyone is going to agree with what he says and he said that it is a good thing. He says that people can’t solely base their opinions on what they read in the news. “Usually in my talks I say that there is a lot of grey area and implicate myself. Our food, our clothing, all of it comes from oil, so my hands are not clean,” Brorby said. All final decisions about the pipeline will be made by the Iowa Utilities Board. If the pipeline is built, approximately 570,000 barrels of oil will be flowing through Iowa each day. The pipeline is scheduled to be finished by late 2016.

The Color Run recently added a new tour to its 2015 schedule. The name is “The Shine Tour” and features a new glitter element to the runs. The tour is scheduled to visit Des Moines on July 11.
The Color Run announces new tour will add glitter feature By Kenzi.Mongar @iowastatedaily.com The unique 5K paint event that has splashed color all around the world just added yet another twist to race running. The Color Run has just announced their newest tour for 2015, “The Shine Tour,” brightening fitness with some glitter. “The paint thing was so big and fun and different,” said Paige Marcia Carlson, junior in apparel, merchandising and design and public relations. “The glitter might attract a younger age range but I don’t think you can to-
tally go away from the color.” Throughout the race, each paint color is divided with distance, so the goal is to obtain as much color as possible while wearing white clothing. “I don’t know if it would be quite the same experience because the whole point is to cover your white shirt in paint,” said Elin Tegels, senior in apparel, merchandising and design. The Color Run website does still show color being used within the race along with the newly added glitter in their sneak peak video. Shine Tour participants will get a kit including a custom race tee, gold finishers
medal, tricolor headband, special edition glitter pack, classic color pack, new gold tattoos and more! “Make sure I get some good shampoo to get glitter out of my hair,” Carlson said. Since 2012, over four million participants have crossed the event’s finish line. This year, more runners will come together to celebrate happiness, health, and individuality. VIP sign-up is available online at www.thecolorrun. com/shine-tour. VIP tickets will go on sale Feb. 1 and regular tickets are available online Feb. 5. The Shine Tour is planned to visit Des Moines on July 11.
While official numbers won’t be released until Tuesday, Iowa State is amidst another semester of enrollment boom, even with a loss of students returning for the second semester. “We will have record enrollment this spring,” said Laura Doering, the university registrar, referring to spring semesters only. While spring enrollment may be record breaking, the number of students physically on campus is suspected to be lower than this previous fall, which is nothing new. In 2013, there were 33,241 students enrolled during the fall, while only 31,296 were enrolled in the spring of 2014. Doering speculates that the spring enrollment decline is due to many different factors. Between graduations, transfers and students who choose not to return along with a lower number of new students enrolling in the spring as compared to the fall, the net loss of students is not surprising. Iowa State has many programs aimed at student retention, all of which aim to combat the section of students who leave the univer-
sity for reasons other than graduation. Between the Student Success Council, the new Student Loan Education Office and numerous other programs, Iowa State is consistently trying to get students to stay and complete their degrees. Fall to spring enrollment decline isn’t completely negative. The decline in enrollment means an alleviation of the stress put on the university’s housing system. Peter Englin, the director of the department of residence, said that the decline in demand for housing in the spring semester usually allows for 700 to 1,100 newly open beds on campus. “[It] makes it nicer in the spring semester,” Englin said. Should the numbers this year be anything like the previous academic year, Iowa State could see nearly 2,000 fewer students on campus. While this number is not extremely large, it will make a difference. “It’s not dramatic, but it is significant,” said Englin. The small decrease in student population probably won’t last though. Katharine Suski, the director of admissions, said the number of applications for the fall of
2015 currently seen by the admissions office is already higher than the number seen for fall of 2014 at the same time last year. “15,851 freshman applications have been received,” Suski said. “These numbers represent an increase of 2.9 percent in applications over this time in the Fall 2014 cycle.” Should numbers like this hold, Iowa State may be looking at record-breaking enrollment not only this spring, but also next fall. Past years’ enrollment 2009-2010 • Fall 27,945 - Spring 26,283; difference: 1,662 2010-2011 • Fall 28,682 - Spring 26,782; difference: 1,900 2011-2012 • Fall 29,887 - Spring 28,080; difference: 1,807 2012-2013 • Fall 31,040 - Spring 29,414; difference: 1,626 2013-2014 • Fall 33,241 - Spring 31,296; difference: 1,945

Health Center. The Student Health Center has already expanded hours and hired additional staff. To decrease the time spent waiting in lines at testing centers, there are restrictions on classes that can use testing centers during the spring semester. There is also a testing schedule matrix to make sure too many classes don’t offer tests at the centers at the same time. Davidson Hall along Osborn Drive will also be demolished and there are plans to have it serve as a parking area. Kletscher said she has also “been advocating for the hiring of a consultant to address the conundrums that Osborn Drive presents and I believe we will see that happen this spring.” “What we achieve the rest of the semester is up to us. We determine our outlooks, attitudes and action. I am choosing collaboration and I hope you will all join me,” Kletscher told the Senate.

Open option students explore potential majors By Brianna.Levandowski @iowastatedaily.com As an open option student at Iowa State, some students may feel lost and limited in their choices, but they don’t have to, said senior Kalsa Parker. According to the Iowa State webpage, about 20 percent of ISU students enter school without declaring a major. Proudly stating “undecided is our most popular major,” should make those students who haven’t chosen a career path a little less nervous. They aren’t alone. Parker, a former open option student and current environmental science major, is slated to graduate on time in 2017, even with a full year of not knowing which classes she should take for her future. “I know people who just let their advisers pick classes for them based on gen-eds,” Parker said. “But they could be so much more informed if they chose classes that interested them and really explored the different fields Iowa State has to offer.” Eva Kuntz, a first-year student in open option, can agree with the challenges of choosing classes. “Honestly, it’s really difficult to pick third semester — or even second semester — classes when you don’t know your major,” Kuntz said. As an Honors Pro gram student, she was required to set up a fouryear plan. Kuntz said it was difficult to sit down and look through all the majors and classes Iowa State offers and come up with a semester-by-semester game plan. Thomas Woodruff, a sophomore in communication studies, said he had a more positive look on starting his ISU adventure undecided. “By coming in open option, I was able to take classes in art history, computer science [and] kinesiology,” Woodruff said. Kuntz is doing what she can to get on track,
but even as an honors student, she has fears for the future. “I worry that if I don’t choose a major soon, I will have to tack on more semesters of schooling, which is more money and time spent in school [rather] than out looking for a job,” Kuntz said. Nerves on this subject are common, Parker said. Before declaring her major, she admitted to having fears for the future. “And I still do,” she said. “It’s hard to be entirely sure where you want to go or what you want to do. I’m confident in the decisions I’ve made regarding my major, but I still don’t know everything about what I want to do in the future.” Even after deciding on a major, those nerves seem to pop back up, said Mariam Remus-Marante, freshman in political science and international studies, who was also an open option student. She took a big chance leaving her home in Puerto Rico to come to school in the United States, especially not knowing what she would be studying once she came here. “Universities in the United States have the benefit of entering open option, which meant that it was ‘okay’ not to know what I wanted to study,” Remus-Marante said. “So I told my mom, ‘don’t worry, it is true that I don’t know right now what I want to study, but at least I know I am going to study and get a degree.’” Remus-Marante found classes she enjoyed early on and felt that she might have chosen her potential career path. “I went to Career Exploration Services before I was going to declare my major because I wanted to make sure that I was actually choosing the right major for me,” she said. Remus-Marante said the staff could tell she was passionate about political science and questioned why she wasn’t ready to declare. “I said to him that the thought of knowing from that point on I was
working on becoming a professional scared me,” Remus-Marante said. The staff member told her that it was normal for those in her place to have those fears. He comforted her enough that she went to her advisor and declared her major the same day. Woodruff had always known he wanted to make the lives of others better and wanted to use communication everyday. He knew that is what would make him happy. “Once I returned home, I did research on the potential majors that related to the closest career I could find,” he said. “Either student affairs, personal coach or adviser.” He found a major at another institution called “Organized Behavioral Studies” and found that Iowa State’s own communication studies major followed the same basic principles. He is still unsure of his plans after graduation but he knows he wants to help people live happier, healthier lives. “Nothing is set in stone,” Woodruff said. “But I can see myself in the future as a motivational speaker, chapter adviser, or some position that is related to leadership and/ or personal development.” Woodruff is not alone in his half-certain plans for the future. Although some students know what their major is, they’re still undecided about their career paths. “I remember I never truly knew what I wanted to study. Adults always ask that even if you’re 15 and you are just starting to figure out who you are,” Remus-Marante said. Now that she knows what she is studying, she still isn’t sure about what she wants of her future. “But one thing has stayed the same — I knew [then] and I know [now] I want to help people, be an impact in people’s lives and I want to do something that I am truly passionate about,” she said. Without a career path, she has other personal

objectives and an “open mind of what I can do in the future. I am setting myself big goals that I am not sure if one day I will get to accomplish, but if you never try, you will never know.” Just because a student might think they know what they want to study when they enter college, they don’t have to stick with it. “I though I wanted to do biological and premedical illustration when I got here,” said senior Kalsa Parker. “Taking DSN 131 was very helpful in that decision. The class was great and I learned a lot, but I also learned I didn’t want to deal with the stress of getting graded on my artwork.” But there are also students who have always known what they want to work with, but just might not know exactly how. “I’ve always been a ‘math and science’ type of girl,” Eva Kuntz said. After excelling in both areas throughout her primary education, she knows she’d like some kind of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) degree once she does graduate. “I think I really like STEM because it seems to be the future of our world,” she said. “Plus, I really like the satisfaction of solving a tough math problem or finishing a chemistry lab.” Kuntz still has some fear. “To be completely honest, I am terrified — not knowing my major is what keeps me up at night,” she said. “I worry that I am not taking the right classes and that I am wasting time and money on classes that won’t help me down my path.” These concerns are valid. As ISU students, the four-year standard is generally adhered to, perhaps with an extra semester for an internship or completion of a second major. The advice from students who have been there before is to explore all your options. Parker said to talk to an adviser and do personal research. “It’s important to look at what [classes] you will have to take before deciding on a major that might sound cool because you may not be interested in the specifics that you will have to learn about,” she said. She also advised getting involved on campus with extra-curricular activities. Remus-Marante said Career Exploration Services was a big part of her decision-making process. “I was able to choose a major for which I am passionate about,” she said. “And for that I will be forever grateful.”

Climate change should not follow partisan lines By Michael.Glawe @iowastatedaily.com
S
enators Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and James Inhofe are all climate change deniers. The remains of a landslide Senate victory for the Republican Party has uncovered new leadership opportunities for these Congressmen. Now, one could reasonably assume, or at least hope, that these men wouldn’t be irresponsibly assigned to positions where their unfortunate disbelief would harm society. The nightmare seems to have come true. That is, at least when it comes to positions that influence research on climate change. As pointed out by Slate writer Phil Plait, Senator Cruz is now the Chair of the Subcommittee on Space, Science, and Competitiveness, which oversees NASA, an agency that serves a pivotal role in observing the effects of climate change (such as monitoring CO2 levels). Senator Marco Rubio has been assigned to chair the Subcommittee on Oceans, Atmosphere, Fisheries, and Coast Guard, an institution that oversees the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Senator James Inhofe, a vociferous opponent to anything science related, was appointed to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. After his state was struck by the largest tornado ever recorded (a 2.6 mile wide behemoth), Inhofe opportunistically responded to the com-
ments of climatologists by saying, “We were being hit by tornadoes long before anyone talked about climate change, and even before it was called ‘global cooling,’ before it became ‘global warming,’ and then ‘climate change.” Ignoring the fact that a tornado’s girth is generally determined by more heat energy in the atmosphere, if the same tract of land is struck by increasingly violent storms over a period of fifteen years, perhaps there is an underlying trend that Sen. Inhofe has overlooked – or ignored. Sen. Inhofe’s incompetence (not toned as an insult) or willful disbelief, and that of many others, will lead to the demise of his state, and ours too. How could this wicked strain of sadism come to power? The first inclination is to blame money. All three of the aforementioned congressmen are supported by “big energy”, and “big energy” knows how to buy people – just say the right words, like “climate change is a hoax” and your reelection hopes shall be fulfilled. But individual citizens hold the power of the vote. We are the affected – the ones who will suffer the horrible consequences of global warming, while high-seated Senators hide behind closed and secured doors on the Hill. Then the natural question is, “What’s wrong with us?” How do we combat a pestilence of ignorance, and break free of this sado-masochistic relationship? The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has
become increasingly certain that climate change is manmade (they’re now 95 percent confident that the main cause of global warming is humans). The problem is public perception is lagging lazily behind. According to the Pew Research Center, only 67 percent of Americans say there is “solid evidence that the earth is warming up.” I say “only” because this number should be much higher. The science is in on global warming, and its as sure as gravity. There is a subset of people who agree that the earth is warming, but think the warming is not manmade (about 18 percent in the same Pew Research Center poll). Sadly, and shamefully, these are the people who are too scared to go one step further with the evidence. As a surety, crazies will always flippantly believe global warming is a big lie fabricated by the scientific elite so they can retain their jobs. The real problem is the cowardly act of observing the evidence with one eye closed. These persons are engaged in the splicing of scientific discovery with political allegiances, and their true character is pitiful. The embattled scientists “have heard the chimes at midnight,” and now is the time for action. The revelation of climate change is forcing us to make great sacrifices. We will have to make many, many more. This is our reality: we cannot afford our fellow citizens to exacerbate the problem unfettered by the most important scientific principles.
Who will convince a nearsighted public of this longterm threat? Bill Nye? And what if they don’t believe? Even more daunting, what will it take for them to believe? There is an inherent problem with the rise of “political” scientists. Science dignifies partisanship, and if science allies itself with one party, we surrender objectivity to the unruliness of subjectivity. The line dividing the scientific community, with all its scrutinizing might, and the rabble of opinion and spin, conceivably dissolves. There are opinions within the scientific community, between scientists of their respective fields, and the opinions between the scientific community and the public at large. The former should be treated with great care and respect, the latter with patience. Ultimately, it comes down to educating our youth and instilling within them the critical faculties necessary to understand science and question everything – yes, even the scientific evidence. We need to remeasure the weight of scientific consensus, or go back to an earlier measure, without the partisan flare to it. I certainly don’t want everyone to believe everything science tells us – that, in fact, runs counter to our scientific principles – but there is a standard of acceptance we can all agree on. We must adapt our minds to prevent our negative habits. We can vote for responsible representatives, and maybe ensure a better prospect for tomorrow, both for ourselves and for our posterity.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Accept all people, those they love By Seth Selken, junior in mathematics 2014 was a landmark year for the gay rights movement with same-sex marriage now legal in 35 states, plus the District of Columbia. Now, 2015 is poised to be an even more pivotal year than the last, as the Supreme Court will decide on same-sex marriage rights across the nation. It would seem that we, as a nation, are heading in a positive direction, but one only has to browse through the comments of a recently posted Youtube video to see that we have a long way to go. The Rhodes Bros are twins from Ohio who are currently living in California and have their own YouTube channel. Early this year, they posted a video in which they came out to both their father and the world. Many tears were shed during this emotional and nervewracking experience, but their father’s response, ”It’s the way things are, you know? You’re
grown people. I just don’t really know what to say — you know I love you both and that’ll never change. You’ve gotta live your lives. You’ve gotta do what you gotta do,” is one of acceptance and understanding. If you have yet to see this heart-warming, emotionally raw glimpse into the human experience, I’d recommend it. But, while the comments left are often positive, supportive, and generally uplifting, it doesn’t take long before you find comments like “stupid gays,” “What a disease,” and even the utterly repugnant, distasteful and obnoxious, “Sad. I bet your dad wanted to be a grandfather. Too bad you two narcissistic pricks chose to be selfish f---. If you are so comfortable, why come out of the closet and embarrass your father publicly? When you are old gross q-----, I hope you both take your own lives via shooting each other in the head. Hope the 12 million views satisfied your need to be in the limelight. It cost your souls.” This leads me to the
strangely common idea that homosexuality is a “disease” that needs to be cured or a choice that one makes. It seems to me that there is a mindset that people in the LGBT community choose their sexual identity instead of it being bestowed upon them at birth. Many people, especially those who leave comments on Youtube videos, seem to think that people choose to be gay as a desperate stunt for attention. You know what, you’re probably right. I’m sure those people in Uganda, where homosexuality is still illegal and can land you in prison for life, come out as gay so that people will pay more attention to them. I bet they love the attention they get when they walk down the street and have to worry about being verbally and/or physically assaulted. I’m sure they bask in the glory of having their names, addresses, pictures and more published along with a call for their deaths. These atrocious behaviors aren’t limited to third-world countries halfway
across the globe. Even in the United States, it’s far too common to hear of a teen or young adult who’s had the courage to express to their family, friends, and/or community who they really are, and, in turn, they are thrown out onto the street. For some, their entire network of support vanishes in an instant. Their friends? Gone. Their family? They won’t acknowledge their existence. In that moment, their life is radically altered by simply stating, “I’m gay.” Still think that being gay is a choice and/or a desperate attempt for attention? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Being different is never easy and staying true to yourself despite what others say can often be harder. The kind of courage and bravery that it takes to be who you truly are in the face of possible rejection and ridicule is something that everyone should applaud, for these kinds of people — the strong-willed, courageous and different — are the people that truly make this world a better place to live.
Iowa politics positive for state President Obama’s State of the Union address promised a return to “middle class economics” and a continuation of the economic upswing that the last two years of the administration has fostered. Obama also assured the American people that “the shadow of crisis has passed” and the United States can finally begin moving forward. For Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), that passing shadow of crisis takes the form of Obama’s relatively imminent departure from the White House. Ernst delivered the official rebuttal of the Republican party, saying that “Republicans heard the message [voters] sent in November,” and that Republicans are working “to change the direction Washington has been taking our country.” Whether or not you agree with Ernst’s statements, the fact that a freshman senator was selected to give the official State of the Union address rebuttal just weeks after being inaugurated is a great accomplishment. Add that to the fact that Ernst is the first-ever woman in Iowa to be elected to Congress, it seems as though she is well on her way to success in the Senate. Ernst’s accomplishments and popularity reflect positively on the state of Iowa. No matter which side of the political spectrum you fall on, is having a strong and popular female leader for our state so bad? Ernst’s role in the State of the Union address is only the latest in a long line of recent accomplishments and notoriety for the state of Iowa. It seems as though our state is currently in the spotlight and for numerous positive reasons. Iowa is certainly a state we can take pride in being a part of, especially right now. This weekend, Des Moines will host the Iowa Freedom Summit, an event with more than 20 confirmed speakers on the agenda. The speakers include multiple possible presidential hopefuls, such as Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee. Other big names include Donald Trump and Sarah Palin. But the Iowa Freedom Summit is also not the only upcoming political event in our state. This week, Iowa Board of Regents President Bruce Rastetter announced that he invited two dozen politicians to speak at the first-ever Iowa Agriculture Summit on March 7. While no speakers for the Iowa Agriculture Summit have been confirmed as of Tuesday, numerous people who may be looking to run for president in 2016, both Democratic and Republican, were invited to speak. Those who were invited include Bobby Jindal, Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Andrew Cuomo and Elizabeth Warren. The attention being given to Iowa this month will pale in comparison to the coming inundation of our state with presidential hopefuls from both sides of the aisle. As politicians give up the “will they, won’t they” game and officially announce their candidacy, Iowa will once more become the political hot bed of the United States. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has already made an appearance at Gov. Branstad’s inauguration and will doubtlessly be making stops along his precampaign trail following the Iowa Freedom Summit and it is not any stretch of the imagination to believe that other Republican candidates may follow suit. While our state may be all too often confused for others or forgotten in terms of national relevance, the growing political prominence that is quickly building in addition to the caucuses will be a driving force in solidifying Iowa as a key state in the union.

Brynn Williamson shoots the ball over TCU’s senior guard Natalie Ventress on Wednesday night. The Cyclones beat the Horned Frogs 80-62.
Fernstrom, Moody push Cyclones past TCU By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com When the PA announcer started to rattle off the starters for the Cyclones on Wednesday night, a usual suspect failed to make the lineups. Senior Fallon Ellis got the nod against Texas Christian, replacing usual starter Bryanna Fernstrom. That’s sort of a strange move for ISU coach Bill Fennelly, considering Fernstrom is a full 6 inches taller than any TCU starter. Yet, missing her first start of the season didn’t shake Fernstrom’s confidence. By the end of the game, she led the team with 18 total points, 10 of which came in the second half. “The matchup we had tonight didn’t really fit her, so we didn’t start her,” Fennelly said. “But she was re-
ally good. She got us some points around the basket. She clogged up the middle defensively in our zone. I thought she was really good … She was a big part of our team win tonight.” Fernstrom’s performance was enough to give Iowa State (13-4, 4-2 Big 12) an 80-62 win over TCU (11-6, 3-3 Big 12). However, Fernstrom’s big night may not have been the top story coming out of the game. Senior guard Nikki Moody, who suffered a sprained ankle in the first half, finished out the game with 15 points, 12 of which came from behind the arc. “It hurts,” Moody said. “I was just trying to push through it and be there for my teammates. I had to play.” Shortly after the injury, Fennelly says he asked Moody repeatedly if she was OK to play in the game. For
Moody, though, only one answer came to mind. “I was planning on coming back in,” Moody said. “They just kept asking me how I felt and I just kept telling them that at the end of the day, I can play.” This was the second meeting between the two teams this season, following a close 86-84 loss just two weeks prior. In that bout, the Horned Frogs rallied back from a 24-point deficit, forcing 21 ISU turnovers in the process. “We really didn’t need extra motivation for this game,” Moody said. “Down there, it was a tough loss for us. We should have won. So today, we were just trying to get that win.” Five different Cyclones finished the night in doubledigit figures Wednesday, a noticeable difference from the first matchup between the schools. Along with Fern-
strom and Moody, Seanna Johnson also finished with 15 points, and Brynn Williamson and Nicole “Kidd” Blaskowsky finished with 12 and 11 points, respectively. With one of their top players suffering through an injury, having other options to score was really what allowed Iowa State to pull ahead in the second half. “I think Iowa State has a lot more to their team than just Nikki Moody,” TCU coach Raegan Pebley said. “I think there’s a lot of capable scorers on the floor. I think Kidd is playing really well and they have a nice inside presence as well.” The Cyclones will have a few days off before traveling to Texas this weekend, giving Moody some time to recover. “It can’t keep me out,” Moody said. “I’m still going to play regardless. If it hurts, it hurts.”
ISU swimming coaches impressed with development of third-year talent By Alex.Crowl @iowastatedaily.com It’s not typical for a coach to find unforeseen talent. It’s also not typical for that talent to contribute to success at the highest level. ISU coaches Duane Sorenson and Kelly Nordell found just that in Alex Flatness. “When Alex came in, we knew she was going to be a project because she was fairly successful in high school, but she had a long ways to go to swim at the Division I level,” Sorenson said. “We saw the potential in her and she had a good feel for the water.” It hasn’t been a short journey to success for Flatness as it took her some time to figure out her abilities at the collegiate level. “I think freshman year was just about learning and then sophomore
year was about building my strength,” Flatness said. “This year, I know what’s going on and everything, so it has been pretty easy to just focus on my technique.” Flatness is a graphic design major at Iowa State, which makes her schedule difficult to balance with swimming. Not only is it a balancing act, but it also leads to some unique training circumstances. “This fall on Tuesdays and Thursdays she had to come in and swim late after everybody else had left,” Sorenson said. “She really pushed herself at that time and really made some nice breakthroughs in her training and practice. She really started believing in herself.” F l a t n e s s a l s o m e ntioned how she dealt with her unique scheduling and the support she had from her coaches. “Working with Duane has been great,” Flatness said. “[He] and Kelly are

really lenient about design and how everything fits with my schedule. It’s been an experience too because I’ve had a lot of practices that I’ve had to do by myself or with just one other swimmer. That’s been a challenge.” Flatness’ personality and work ethic certainly helped her chances at success at Iowa State. “I think what makes us excited about her swimming so well is her youthfulness,” Nordell said. “She is so energetic and so excited herself when she does well. She’s the one that has a huge smile and she’s an extremely hard worker.” Nordell also mentioned that Flatness has not only become a great competitor for her team, but that she is a bit of a comedian. “I have to say too, she can be quite funny,” Nordell said. “She always has pretty good one-liners to put into practice. It’s been exciting
for us as coaches to watch her, especially being a local kid, progress into being a potential scorer.” Flatness has used all her attributes to achieve her greatest success at Iowa State, obtaining personal bests and fulfilling a dream. “It was kind of a surprise, but after the first relay I knew it was going to be a good meet and everything,” Flatness said. “Being on the A relay is something I’ve always wanted to be on and that was like a little dream come true, so that was great.” Continuing to improve as a swimmer and sharing her personality with others will be Flatness’ goals as she continues her career at Iowa State. “She’s just done exceedingly well this year,” Nordell said. “She’s progressed each year, and obviously she’s going to continue to have a stellar year this year.”

High jumper returns from injury, prepares for first competition of season at Big 4s By Trey.Alessio @iowastatedaily.com It was a Tuesday at the Lied Recreation Athletic Center and the ISU men’s track team was doing its normal routine — sprints, sled runs, acceleration development — when redshirt senior Cam Ostrowski tweaked his ankle. The injury would become a nagging reoccurrence. Ostrowski competed twice last year as a high jumper in the indoor meets and twice outdoor. He said every time he jumped his ankle would swell up and he just tried resting a lot to get it healthy enough for Big 12’s and nationals. At the NCAA indoor meet, Ostrowski jumped his way onto the second team All-American list. He cleared a height of 7 feet 3.75 inches, which made him the second person in Iowa State history to clear that mark. But Ostrowski had higher expectations. “It’s nice to have the label: second team All-American, but going into that meet last year, my expectations were a little higher,” Ostrowski said. “Obviously I want to get top 8 and be a first team All-American. I don’t think I performed that well at that meet. My ankle wasn’t 100 percent. It was a little upsetting, but at the end of the day, second team All-American isn’t a thing a lot of people can say they have achieved. In that aspect, I’m still happy.” At the end of last year’s season, Ostrowski didn’t think his ankle was where he wanted it to be, so he sat out of regionals to get healthy over the summer for this year. “Over the summer, I wore a boot for four weeks — pretty much just rested it all summer,” Ostrowski said. “I didn’t
really do any sprinting or training — just weight lifting.” Then preseason came along. Ostrowski was fired up and ready to go with a solid ankle. But all of a sudden during practice, he tweaked his ankle again. There was a point when ISU assistant coach Fletcher Brooks and Ostrowski had a discussion about whether he should even come back out for track due to his injury. “It was the same way it was feeling last year, so I’ve just kind of been sitting out,” Ostrowski said. “I’ve been going in the training room and working out with the trainers about three times a week. I’ll ice after practice.” Brooks didn’t give up on him. Ostrowski has been limited in practice. He said he hasn’t participated in a full practice with the other guys. He also sat out of the Holiday Inn Invitational in Lincoln, Neb., but Ostrowski said his ankle is good enough to compete. With a second team All-American coming off a frustrating injury, there is a lot to motivate him this season. “I think I have a lot to prove still especially after last year,” Ostrowski said. “Some of the other guys around division I track and field and within the sport, they kind of see the numbers I put up last year and they probably don’t think anything of me right now, but I feel like I still have a lot left in the tank.” Ostrowski’s goal and expectation this year is to go back to the NCAA meet and finish in the top 8 and be named a first team AllAmerican. He will be competing in the high jump Saturday at the Lied Recreational Center, and will be excited for a strong season ahead when the Cyclones participate in the Big 4 Dual meet.

‘ANYTHING GOES’ SETS SAIL FOR STEPHENS By Melissa.Garrett @iowastatedaily.com In the newest Broadway revival of Cole Porter’s classic musical theatre masterpiece, “Anything Goes” sails into Ames at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, with its premiere performance at Stephens Auditorium. Since 1934, the awardwinning musical comedy about lovers, liars and clowns on a transatlantic cruise has had more than a dozen revivals and won the 2011 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical, with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. Originally from Northeastern Pennsylvania, actor Brian Krinsky began his career playing one of the other reindeer in a preschool production of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Krinsky, who was recently the Beast/Gaston cover in the national tour of Beauty and the Beast, saw the Cole Porter production of “Anything Goes”
at 20 years old for the first time and never imagined he would be playing Billy only a few years later. “At the time, I just remember enjoying the show and remember watching the guy who played Billy [and] thinking I would really enjoy this role,” Krinsky said. “It never crossed my mind that I would end up playing this role in this production.” Krinsky said he has a lot in common with his character, whose love for Hope Harcourt is one of the driving plots in the musical. “[Billy] is a smooth talker — sort of a charming individual with kind of a funny sense of humor. I think I mirror that in a lot of ways in my day-to-day life as well,” Krinsky said. Being in “Anything Goes” is like a shot-gun experience that college could not have prepared him for, Krinsky said, and there is a lot of dancing and moving around on stage. “It was kind of difficult to fully embody that sort of
suave character,” Krinsky said. “Everything is choreographed [and] you have to sort of find this sort of way that the character moves. It’s sort of that Mad Men sort of feel, where these guys are wearing threepiece suits and wooing the ladies.” In the show, Krinsky said his character caters to his boss’s every need on Wall Street until he finds love in Hope Harcourt. “[Billy] has these passions,” Krinsky said. “He’s driven and he’s in love and [it] sort of transfers over to his love Hope Harcourt, which is the love interest in the show and he kind of pursues her to the bitter end on this ship across the Atlantic. Under direction of Sean McKnight and Jennifer Savelli, Kathleen Marshall’s original direction and choreography, which earned the 2011 Tony Award for Best Choreography, have been recreated in Anything Goes’ new revival. “Anything Goes” is a
big show for identity, misidentifying people and identity mix-ups,” said Sara Compton, outreach coordinator for the Iowa State Center. “It’s a feelgood, boy-meets-girl hilarity [and] it’s going to be a lot of fun.” With high levels of energy and a number of dance routines and songs, Krinsky said the show is like a marathon for him, since he is constantly on the move and has to give 110 percent effort the entire time. “When you’re doing eight shows a week you really have to learn to pace yourself,” Krinsky said. “For me, I imagine I have this battery with my week full of energy, and if I get to the end of my battery too soon, I might run out of steam.” With two main couples — Billy Crocker and Hope Harcourt, as well as Reno Sweeney and Lord Evelyn Oakleigh — the musical seeks to entertain its audience with explosive dancing and a roundup of Cole Porter’s nostalgic hits, in-

Cyclone Cinema makes return for spring semester By Emily.Benda @ iowastatedaily.com The spring semester of Cyclone Cinema kicked off this past weekend with the drama film, “Gone Girl.” “The beginning of the year tends to have higher numbers [of people]. We had full capacity or close to capacity every night for ‘Gone Girl,’” said Hannah Nation, co-director of Cyclone Cinema. Cyclone Cinema shows movies in Carver 101 every Thursday-Sunday night. The auditorium seats 202 people and aisle lights have been put in to accommodate for the growing interest among students. The Student Union Board chooses movies based on box office numbers and award nominations. Most of the movies shown have just recently been taken out of the the-
aters. “We look at what’s coming out of theaters and then go off of that. At the general meetings, we show trailers and vote on the ones that we’re not so sure about,” Nation said. This semester’s lineup includes movies that have been nominated for Oscars or Golden Globe awards, such as “American Sniper” or “Into the Woods.” Also among the list is “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1” and “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies,” which Nation thinks will be popular because they are part of a series. The list of movies include: Jan. 22 to 25: Nightcrawler Jan. 29 to Feb. 2: Big Hero 6 Feb. 5 to 8: Birdman Feb. 12 to 15: The Best of Me Feb. 19 to 22: Interstel-

it’s going to be more culturally accepted.” KinoSol users are able to place excess produce in the device’s built-in drying trays. A few hours later, the dehydrated produce can then be stored in an attached compartment lined with Mylar, which prevents pests, moisture and light from entering. Farmers and families will use KinoSol to “increase their produce haul,” Mooney said. This will provide them with more food and eventually, a way to make money. So far, the Gung-ho Globies have constructed two prototypes of KinoSol, and they recently recruited students in agricultural engineering to help build a third. “It’s been really nice just seeing how supportive the whole College of Ag has been,” Sullivan said. “Even professors we don’t know said, ‘Yes, we’ll help with anything you need.’” They have also solicited the help of professors and students in business and marketing to learn how to “pitch” their product for the judges. KinoSol’s slogan? “No waste, more space, easily brought from
an idea and make it innovative and new,” Gehrke said. “We thought, ‘it needs to be mobile and sustainable, so we need to make it solar. We can’t use electricity and we need to have storage capabilities.’” The team designed KinoSol to be completely solar powered and easily attachable to a bicycle, one of the most common forms of transportation in the developing world. This “multi-functional, triple threat” device, Gehrke said, is meant to connect farmers, while reducing postharvest loss. “One-third of all the food in the world goes to waste,” Gehrke said. “In the developed world, it’s on the plate, while in the developing world, it’s rotting on the vine.” Some teams in the competition are presenting products involving complex technology, but the Gung-ho Globies wanted their product to be easily accessible to farmers, especially women, in the developing world. “It doesn’t look like a sparkling new machine,” Wilson said. “So we think
place to place.” The Gung-ho Globies will present KinoSol at the Thought for Food Challenge in Lisbon, Portugal on Feb. 13 and 14. If they win, they will receive $10,000 in start-up funds to develop a business plan and begin manufacturing KinoSol. “This is showing a new side of agriculture,” Wilson said. “This competition is showing [that] agriculture is a lot more than the traditional farmer. It’s networking, engineering, innovation.” But for the Gung-ho Globies, the end goal isn’t a cash prize. “Once we see the impact we can make, we’re not going to stop,” Gehrke said. Win or lose, the group plans to begin field testing KinoSol and collecting data. They hope to take the dehydrator to rural Uganda, through the Center for Sustainable Rural Livelihoods at Iowa State. “Thought for Food’s slogan is ‘uprooting the status quo,’” Gehrke said. “We have these problems, and, unless we uproot the status quo, we’re not going to see any change.”

The annual Thought for Food Challenge was founded in 2011 by Christine Gould, senior public policy manager at Syngenta. Students competing in the challenge are encouraged to “uproot the status quo.”
