‘THE WOMEN’S WAVE IS COMING’

BY KAITLYN.HOOD @iowastatedaily.com A new president will be announced at the first Faculty Senate meeting of the year on Tuesday, following a December 2018 vote. The Senate will also discuss unfinished business, which includes a proposed master of science in event management, changes to the Action Plan Mediation and Consistency of Student Learning Outcomes sections of the faculty handbook and a proposed resolution against bullying and intimidation on campus. The need for a master of science in event management is being proposed in response to an ever-growing industry calling for more qualified professionals. The program will allow students to master the skills needed to become a fully capable professional while working with their own schedule. “The flexibility of [the] program will fit the needs and wants of students and professionals who are currently balancing employment, family, and other needs,” according to the Faculty Senate agenda. The changes to the faculty handbook will even out inconsistencies and create a more precise description of policies already in the handbook. The proposed changes will give faculty a greater understanding of the Action Plan Mediation and Consistency of Student Learning Outcomes so they are better able to help students when their situations fall under one of these policies, according to the agenda. The Faculty Senate will also discuss a resolution against bullying and intimidation on campus. A c c o r d i n g t o I o w a S t a t e ’s Discrimination and Harassment policy, “The University values and promotes an environment that enables all members of the community to pursue work and study free from discrimination and harassment. At the same time, the university is committed to preserving academic freedom and an environment of free debate and discussion. As employees, faculty are responsible for abiding by the University’s Discrimination and Harassment Policy.” This resolution will help the Faculty Senate take steps to ensure that bullying is taken in a serious manner at Iowa State. The Faculty Senate meeting will be held at 3:30 p.m. in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union.

KENNEDY DERAEDT/ IOWA STATE DAILY “Women of Iowa you fought to make sure that we could flip the House of Representatives by sending the first two Democratic women to Congress,” said Kirsten Gillibrand.

Third march brings hundreds out to rally BY MADELYN.OSTENDORF AND LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com The cold weather didn’t stop the hundreds of Iowans who congregated inside the Iowa Capitol Building in Des Moines on Saturday from joining the thousands of people all across the United States rallying in their state capitols for the 2019 Women’s March. 2019 marks the third Women’s March. The first march was perceived to be a direct response to the election of President Donald Trump and has since evolved to be a meeting place for those who share the belief that “women’s rights are human rights and human rights are women’s rights,” according to the organization’s official website. “The Women’s March is a time for not just women, but for anyone who supports women’s rights,” said Alissa Stoehr, professor of sociology at Iowa State. “What we have seen in our society and in our government since 2016, it really has led

disenfranchised groups such as women to be like, ‘enough’s enough. We need healthcare, adequate reproductive healthcare, we need more funding for healthcare, we need the Violence against Women Act to pass,’ all of these things. It is a way for people to stand up and be counted.” The march’s agenda consists of 10 major principles that the 70 leaders and organizers hope to see politicians pay more attention to: disability rights, civil rights and liberties, reproductive rights and health, economic justice, immigrant rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, racial justice, environmental justice, ending violence against women and ending state violence. This year’s theme of “#Women’sWave” is a response to the unprecedented number of women running for office as well as winning and flipping seats in the 2018 midterm elections. This midterm election, roughly 43 percent of women who appeared on the ballots won their elections.

ISU leader recognized at event honoring MLK BY TALON.DELANEY @iowastatedaily.com More than 400 parents, teachers and school children gathered Monday night in the Ames Middle School auditorium where students performed in honor of the late Martin Luther King Jr. The renowned civil rights leader would have turned 90 this month. The celebration featured performances from Meeker Elementary School students and the Ames High Step Team, an award ceremony and a speech from Des Moines Council Rep. Renee Hardman. Iowa State Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion Reginald Stewart received the Ames Humanitarian Award for his “extraordinary quality of commitment to the goals of inclusivity and equity,” said Joel Hochstein, the chair of the Ames Human Relations Commission. Stewart founded the Ames Community Commission, which engages citizens of all demographics and promotes diversity of opinion. “ We do this work because we believe in change,” Stewart said. “More people than me

should get this award, lots of people do good work, but it doesn’t get public focus. It’s very humbling to receive this award.” Hardman shared her experiences watching King’s dream manifest in her lifetime and discussed areas where progress is still needed greatly.

“My life is what it is today because of his dream, his life and his legacy,” Hardman said. “I still sometimes reflect and ask myself, ‘Has his life been in vain? Did his dream ever come true?’” She said she remembered asking herself that question when she joined the crowds in Washington D.C. to witness Barack Obama being sworn in as America’s first black president. “I remember walking alongside my friend and saying, ‘I can’t believe I’m here!’” Hardman said. “I stood next to strangers with tears rolling down their faces. I remember being locked arm and arm with a man I had never met. I was almost overcome by the magnitude of what had just happened ... and that was the moment I wondered if [King’s] dream had been fulfilled ... and I naively thought it had.” Hardman said it was easy to feel, in that moment, that King’s dream of a world where people are judged solely by their character, and not by their race, gender, religion or sexual orientation, had been realized. However, she went on to describe areas where she believes progress is still needed.

ISU Dining adds to meal flexibility with Hub reopening BY MEG GRICE @iowastatedaily.com

IOWA STATE DAILY Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds discusses a recent statistic that Iowa is the No. 1 state in the nation, a position she committed to maintaining, during a speech in Ames in March 2018.

A look at the Iowa Legislature Education and abortion among top priorities for 2019 BY ELI.HARRIS @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa Legislature convened for its 2019 session on Jan. 14 with new issues to address, such as education and abortion. 2018 was a significant year for the state due to the passing of several major pieces of legislation. Both the House and the Senate passed Senate File 512, which allocated more than $280 million to water quality efforts in the upcoming years. A controversial abortion bill was passed, which bans abortions after the detection of a heartbeat. Other pieces of legislation, including bills about healthcare and education, received strong opposition, but passed. As 2019 begins, the Legislature must decide on what bills to pass and what will be prioritized. Because Republicans control both chambers of the Legislature as well as the governor’s position, they will have an easier path to advance their goals. Although there is no guaranteed outcome, several categories of interest are likely to take center stage:

TAXES Last year, Gov. Kim Reynolds signed the largest tax cut in the state’s history. The bill cuts the state’s revenue by $2.1 billion through reducing taxes on individuals and businesses. Democrats opposed the bill and said that it gave more benefits to corporations and wealthier families. The bill was heavily contested and could see some amendments in the upcoming year.

additional $18 million in funding of which Reynolds recommended to be funded in full in her recently released budget report.

HEALTH CARE AND MENTAL HEALTH

The fetal heartbeat bill was narrowly passed through the Legislature in May. The House approved it 51-46 and the Senate decided 29-17 in favor. Iowa is now one of only a few states with bans on abortions after a heartbeat can be detected. The ACLU and Planned Parenthood sued to block the bill. A court is still deciding on what actions to take.

Republicans and Democrats have critiqued Iowa’s healthcare system and mental health facilities. Former Gov. Terry Branstad changed the system from publicly run to privately run. Both parties now agree that changes need to be made. Reynolds has said that one of her goals is to improve mental health services in Iowa. House File 2456 was signed into law last March and devoted more resources to mental health services, including six additional facilities statewide where patients can receive treatment. In addition, Senate File 2113 was approved, ordering school districts to adopt suicide prevention protocols and practices.

EDUCATION

JOBS

Legislators have promised to make an investment in K-12 and higher education a priority. Last year, House File 2230 was signed, increasing the budget for aid to public schools by 1 percent. Senate File 455 also passed, helping schools with costs of students and transportation. Universities may also be seeing a slight budget increase. In the fall, the Regents requested an

Another of Reynolds’ goals is to institute her workforce development plan, “Future Ready Iowa.” The aim of the initiative is to have 70 percent of all workers in the state receive training and education beyond a high school level. House File 2458, which outlined the plan, was signed into law with the support of some members of both parties.

City council to search for parking solutions BY TALON.DELANEY @iowastatedaily.com The Ames City Council will meet Tuesday to continue discussing parking litigation for the downtown area, including parking meter rates and a hang-tag system for employees and business owners. The council raised the parking meter rates, which had gone unchanged for 20 years, in July 2018. Rates increased from 20 cents per hour to $1 per hour, and many business owners were unhappy with the changes. They said the higher rates deterred customers from shopping at their stores and employees received parking tickets in the four-hour parking spots

With the start of spring semester, Iowa State dining has developed new parameters regarding Flex Meal dining locations. Previously, Flex Meals were only usable at Cl yde’s, Hawthorn, the Memorial Union Food Court, Lance and Ellie’s, Whirlybird’s and East Side, West Side and South Side Markets. Now, this “to-go” option has opened up to all dining locations, including cafés on campus and Dinkey’s food truck. Karen Rodekamp, a manager with ISU Dining, said the change came about partially because of the renovations to the Hub and the introduction of Dinkey ’s. Bookends had already become busier due to the temporary closing of the Hub, Rodekamp said, and ISU Dining was still unsure of Dinkey’s capacity to allow for Flex Meal usage. “Now with the Hub opening up this spring semester, knowing what Dinkey ’s volume was like this fall, we felt like we could expand those F lex Meals to al l of c ampus and make it more affordable for students,” Rodekamp said. “We never want to give something and then take it away. We’d rather make an addition. Just making sure our locations could handle the volume is why we waited.” To make this change possible, communication and education were key players. Rodekamp explained how cashiers had to adjust to an extra swipe during a transaction, a task not always done in café locations across campus. John Greving, ISU Dining’s marketing coordinator, said how clearly marking the credentials for this category adds to marketability for each location. ISU Dining has been monitoring social media for feedback and has seen nothing but praise from students. “You know, if you’re a College of Design student, and you’re in that building for so many hours ... so they were asking for it,” Rodekamp said. “That was a definite consideration, knowing students find value in it.” Rodekamp also added that many students spend a large majority of their time at the design building, and introducing this dining option to this specific area opens up accessibility, no matter the location. Chad Bauman, ISU Dining communications specialist, also reminded how Flex Meals are what they say they are: flexible. Additionally, these meals can be used for guests in dining centers, similar to the standard meals allocated for dining center use only. “It makes communication with parents and students even easier. We can say ‘everywhere,’ and there [are] no asterisks,” Greving said. Chris Greussing, a sophomore in journalism, said he thinks the change is nice. Though he doesn’t use Flex Meals a consistent amount, he said he sees himself possibly using them at Bookends in Parks Library rather than Dining Dollars.

State of the Community

Ames leaders lay out challenges, city emphasis for year BY TALON.DELANEY @iowastatedaily.com

Community leaders focused on diversity and growth in Ames, talked about the challenges their institutions face and fielded questions about the partial Federal Government shutdown Friday at the Ames School District Board Room. Iowa State Senior Vice President and Provost Jonathan Wickert joined Mayor John Haila, Mary Greeley Medical Center President Brian Dieter, Story County Board of Supervisors Chair Lauris Olson, Ames School Board of Directors President Alisa Frandsen and DMACC President Rob Denson for a panel discussion on the state of the community. Representatives spoke about how their organizations are being affected by the partial federal government shutdown and what they are doing to combat those effects. “For students, there is a slow down in applying for [FAFSA loans],” Wickert said. “And graduate students who are supported on federal assistantships [are affected]. We’re gonna do our best to take care of those students and make sure they are helped.” Furloughed federal employees will have difficulty paying medical bills, so Dieter detailed initiatives at Mary Greeley Medical Center to help those employees and others who are ill afford their payments. “The hospital can offer financially assisted care, which could mean as much as a 100 percent write off of healthcare costs,” Dieter said. “We also offer catastrophic medical assistance, where, if someone’s bills exceed 25 percent of their annual income, we never expect them to pay more than that. Our emergency department always stands ready to serve anyone regardless of ability to pay.” He also said that the hospital provides millions of dollars worth of discounted or free medical care every year. Representatives also discussed how their institutions were striving to create more inclusive environments. “Having a welcome campus environment is one of the points of the university’s strategic plan,” Wickert said. “We’ve struck up four work groups on campus: One directed at the workplace needs of faculty, one for staff, one for graduate students and postdocs and the fourth group is for undergraduate students.

CHRIS JORGENSEN/ IOWA STATE DAILY The city of Ames organized a state of the community address where public leaders spoke about issues facing Ames on Friday.

We’re now developing specific actions in response to our campus climate survey.” Haila is responsible for appointing people to boards and commissions and plans to use that responsibility to increase minority representation, starting with the Human Relations Commission. “My goal is to add Hispanic, Chinese, African American and LGBTQ+ representation to get that cross section because they’re working on very important things,” Haila said. “Then the next step is to spread that across all boards and commissions to try and clarity across our community.” Representatives talked about the goals and achievements of their institutions, as well as the challenges they seek to overcome moving forward. “This year I’m proud to say we have our most diverse incoming freshman class the school has ever had,” Wickert said. “The enrollment of multicultural students is up 9 percent from last year. One out of four students on our campus is either multi-cultural or an international student.” Wickert detailed Iowa State’s performance among students relative to other regent universities. “If we look at things like student persistence, which is how many freshmen are coming back for a sophomore year, we’re 13

percent better than the national average,” Wickert said. “We outperform the average college by 20 percentage points when it comes to graduation rates.” Wickert then explained how, among those graduates, there is an employment rate of 95 percent within the first three years after graduating. “Those aren’t people working at Starbucks or McDonalds, which are honorable trades,” Wickert said. “These graduates are being hired in the same fields they researched while they were students here.” He also talked about the growth of Iowa State’s Research Park. “We added 12 new companies to the Research Park… which employs 2,100 people plus 450 Iowa State students,” Wickert said. “We bring in over $245 million each year in externally funded research. These are dollars that come from companies and the Federal Government to fund salaries and programs at the university.” The University isn’t the only school showing expansion into 2019. Enrollment at Ames Community Schools is increasing, and Frandsen updated the community to the status of the new

A look at 3 years of LGBTQIA+ advocacy BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com

KATLYN CAMPBELL/ IOWA STATE DAILY Assistant director for the Center for LGBTQIA+ Student Success Clare Lemke will be moving to the University of Utah.

This week, Iowa State and the Center for LGBTQIA+ Student Success will say farewell to Clare Lemke, the assistant director for The Center. Lemke, a Milwaukee, Wisconsin, native, received her bachelor’s degree in English and women’s studies at the University of Iowa before coming to Iowa State in June of 2015 to be the assistant director of the Center for LGBTQIA+ Student Success. “Clare is extremely talented,” said Brad Freihoefer, director of the Center for LGBTQIA+ Student Success. “I think she has brought our team to a new level when it comes to not only executing programs with excellence from beginning to end but doing so by working on a deep level with students.” Freihoefer praised Lemke’s adaptability to change, her social justice viewpoint and her focus on student advocacy. Lemke said trans inclusion and gender equity became a big focus of The Center early on in her career at Iowa State. One of her first projects in her position was working with 13 different offices across Iowa State to create the Trans at ISU guide. “When I look back at the last three and half years, I am pleasantly surprised at how much

we were able to accomplish. I feel very good about the work we have done,” Lemke said. Other projects Lemke worked on during her first year include scheduling Angelica Ross, CEO of TransTech, to speak during Pride Week. She also worked on community building for transgender and nonconforming students, asexual and aromantic identifying students, and queer and trans students of color. “Supervising all the student workers, graduate practicum students and volunteers who have served the office over the past several years has been one of the most rewarding parts of this job,” Lemke said. “I feel honored to have had the opportunity to work with such a talented and passionate group of students who have contributed to the success of our office over the years.” Lemke said that working with students involved in the Thrive program and the Speakers Bureau program, two of the LGBTQIA+ leadership programs offered at Iowa State, were some of the most memorable and meaningful points in her career at Iowa State. “Anytime I had the chance to get to know students, to work with them, to lead with them has been my favorite and most memorable moment,” Lemke said. Freihoefer said that changing the

Lavender Graduation and the LGBTQIA+ Community Welcome, planning events for the Out and About program and working on the Trans at ISU guide have been some of biggest impacts Lemke had on the LGBTQIA+ community at Iowa State. Working closely together for three and a half years, Freihoefer and Lemke have created a strong bond. “I am going to certainly miss having a friend, a colleague, right next door to my office,” Freihoefer said. Freihoefer also said that Lemke has been a great support for her fellow staff members and others as well as a great example of leadership. When asked about their favorite memory of working with Lemke, Freihoefer said that some of the best memories were when the two of them sat down together and mulled over ideas and then watched them become a reality. Some of these ideas included changes to Lavender Graduation and the new Center space. “Iowa State is a better place because of Clare,” Freihoefer said. A farewell reception for Lemke will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. Tuesday in the Gallery Room of the Memorial Union. The official ceremony will take place at 3:30 p.m. with refreshments to follow. Lemke’s last day at Iowa State is Friday.

EDITORIAL

IOWA STATE DAILY The Iowa Legislature needs to prioritize funding for public universities. The ISD Editorial Board urges students to reach out to their legislators to why affordable education is important.

Legislature, it’s your turn to invest Last week, college students in Iowa should have been happy to learn that in a budget report by Gov. Kim Reynolds, she recommended full funding to all three Regent institutions. Sadly, this is the first time in a while that this has happened. For years, Iowa State, the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa have been sidelined by both the Legislature and the governor. And it still could happen again, but this time there’s hope. While Reynolds is sending a message to the Legislature by advocating for the Regents, it is still just a recommendation. The Legislature could decide to prioritize other initiatives or state necessities. It could choose to ignore the requested $18 million increase in funding from last year, $7 million of which is dedicated to Iowa State. We hope they do not. In fact, the Legislature should be funding more than the Regents requested. For 20 years, state appropriations to higher education have been in the decline. Tuition has been raised to try and absolve this, yet more students means more resources and more money from both parties. The ISD Editorial Board commends Reynolds for

advocating for higher education, yet more needs to be done to keep Iowa’s institutions affordable, accessible and of value to in-state, out-of-state and international students. No matter the appropriations from the Legislature, the Regents decided in a 5-year tuition plan released in November that undergraduate resident students will be facing a 3 percent increase in tuition the upcoming year. If the Board is not funded, it could be an upward of 5 percent. None of this is new. In August 2017, the Regents released a plan that sent a shockwave through the higher education space. The idea was a 7 percent tuition increase annually for five years, which by the fall 2022 semester would have bumped tuition from $7,486 to $10,537. Iowa, it is time to take action and fund not just the minimum required to sustain higher education in the state. Students, call your legislators and have your voice be heard. Tell them what it means to be a student and to take out loans and fear graduating with a mountain of debt that will haunt you far into your professional life. Tell them how much your degree matters to you. Tell them how much Iowa State does. Hopefully, they’ll really start to listen.

Make Hilton magic, not mediocrity BY AARON BUCHWALD aaron.buchwald.3g@gmail.com Hilton Magic should never be taken for granted. Hilton Coliseum is a unique venue with a loyal and knowledgable fan-base. Love of Iowa State basketball and the collective passion of over 14,000 random screaming fans coalesces into a cacophony that empowers the Cyclones and unnerves visitors. True Cyclone fans have contributed to making Hilton one of the world’s best basketball arenas and one of the toughest places to play in the nation. Not anymore. Not since the student section began thwarting spontaneous roars in favor of childish orchestrated chants. V isiting teams were once

intimidated by the crowd at Hilton. Their prayer was to get a lead and play in such a way to take the crowd out of the game. Now their prayers are answered: the ignorant ISU student section does this for them — hushing the crowd to make way for an idiotic drone as the visitors possess the ball. Gone are the impromptu roars that rallies the defense. Gone is the enthusiasm and spontaneity of a crowd reacting instinctively to the game. I first heard this kinder-moan 30 years ago at UCLA. Now it’s copied all over the country in arenas with the most obnoxious fans. What better way to make visiting teams comfortable in Ames than to eliminate the uniqueness of Hilton by silencing real fans and copying something that’s heard

everywhere else. The Oklahoma State game on Saturday was a disgrace to the Hilton Legacy. Throughout the game, when the crowd was on the verge of reacting, the choreographed whine artificially kept the noise level to a minimum. The students section needs to take responsibility for their part in eroding Hilton Magic, leading, in part, to the K-State loss. Stop copying basketball-illiterates at other schools and return to the unique experience that is Hilton Magic. It’s real, but it won’t endure without the passion that created it. Don’t be the generation of students that ruins it and takes away an enormous home court advantage, turning it into Hilton Mediocrity.

First period woes reemerge

Despite strong season, Austin Gomez struggles early BY TREVOR.HOLBROOK @iowastatedaily.com Redshirt freshman Austin Gomez entered this season with expectations of solidifying Iowa State’s 133-pound spot. The Carol Stream, Illinois, native has accomplished that so far, building a 6-1 dual record, but he’s also garnered a leadership role early on in his college career. “It’s just work ethic,” said redshirt sophomore 149-pounder Jarrett Degen. “You’ve got a bunch of these young kids; they’ve got that high, high work ethic that we struggled to see a little while ago. “They bring it. They work really hard, especially [Marcus] Coleman, Austin Gomez, Ryan Leisure. They all bring it.” On top of leading the team and compiling a solid record, Gomez saw plenty of challenges in the first half of the season. Gomez faced five ranked opponents, according to InterMat, going 4-1 with the lone loss coming from No. 2 Daton Fix of Oklahoma State. Despite the stellar start, Gomez — like every athlete — still has some flaws. One of the most notable negatives during Gomez’s time at Iowa State has been slow starts and poor first periods. Over the summer, Gomez spent time competing for a place on the United State Junior World Team at 61 kilograms. To reserve his spot, Gomez needed to win two of three matches against now-Cornell University freshman Vitali Arujau. Arujau built an 8-0 lead in the first match, but Gomez rattled off 11-straight points, winning 11-8. He finished the series with a 15-4 win, securing a position on the junior world team (he later withdrew due to a knee injury). About 11 months earlier, Arujau and Gomez squared off at The Challenge Tournament — part of the Junior World Team Trials process. Gomez fell behind 7-2 before exploding for a 14-7 win. The slow starts carried over to this season at points, as well. Gomez started his first periods strong near the beginning of the season, earning a first-period technical fall against Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Against Iowa, Gomez and No. 8 Austin DeSanto completed the first period knotted at three before Gomez picked up the win, and against Ohio, Gomez delivered a 2-0 lead after one period. When the Southern Scuffle rolled around, a slow start appeared. No. 13 Roman Bravo-Young of Penn State tallied

an 8-3 lead, but Gomez bailed himself out with a second-period pin. “Get to my offense right away,” Gomez said about improving early in matches after returning from the tournament. “Don’t wait and relax, just go, go, go. Make the guy feel me right away.” The first period improved in the first two Big 12 duals. Gomez started 4-1 over North Dakota State’s No. 16 Cameron Sykora in an 8-6 win. Against Fresno State, Gomez stringed together a 10-1 lead after one period. On Iowa State’s latest road trip to Rider and West Virginia, Gomez reverted back to falling behind early. At Rider, Anthony Cefolo upset Gomez, earning a pin in 2:56 right before the buzzer sounded. Gomez bounced back against West Virginia’s No. 15 Matthew Schmitt with a

decision, but Gomez trailed 2-1 after the first period. “That’s been a point of focus with him because obviously you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that he’s had some tough first periods this year,” said coach Kevin Dresser before the road trip. “Being ready to go is really important for him because I think he has the biggest gas tank in the nation at 133 and maybe everywhere. “But if you put yourself in a big enough hole against a tough enough guy, you can’t dig out. Really, really being stingy, I think that’s [sic] the secret for Austin Gomez to have a great finish this year is the first period.” Gomez showcases enough talent to recover against most opponents, but come March, he’ll be playing with fire if he trails anyone in the loaded 133-pound weight.

of the last four games.

The No. 5 Cyclones were back at home Friday and Saturday as they faced the No. 18 Robert Morris Eagles. The series saw a split with an overtime 4-3 win Friday for the Eagles and a 1-0 shutout Saturday for the Cyclones. After the weekend split with the Eagles, the Cyclones move their record to 15-5 and their conference record to 3-5.

SPECIAL TEAMS PLAY

KRAMER’S HOT STREAK CONTINUES Senior forward Colton Kramer returned to Cyclone Hockey at the start of the second half of the season, but the senior has wasted no time getting involved. His return last week against Missouri State saw him score four goals in the first game and tally another goal in the second game. Kramer got involved once again in both games against the Eagles. After a scoreless first period in Friday’s game and despite the Eagles going on a power play during the second period, Kramer capitalized on a scoring opportunity and managed to score a shorthanded goal, which was the first goal of that game and provided

the Cyclones with the first lead. After another scoreless first period in Saturday’s game, Kramer came in big for the Cyclones in the second period and scored the crucial first goal. Cyclones ultimately held on to the 1-0 lead for the remainder of the game, shutting out the Eagles.

“I’ve definitely been a beneficiary of some luck and some good passes, so it’s not all me,” Kramer said. “We’re just working good as a line again, so it’s picking up where we left off. So, it’s been good.” After his weekend performance against the Eagles, Kramer has recorded eight points, with seven goals and one assist, in the span

The special teams played a big role in the games against the Eagles on both sides of the puck. The Cyclones committed four total penalties all weekend, with two penalties in both games, but the Cyclones managed to shut down the Eagles’ power play all four times, going for a perfect 4-for-4 on the penalty kill. “If you want to be a championship team, you have to be composed and not take bad penalties,” said Jason Fairman, head coach and general manager. Offensively, the Cyclones capitalized on a power play during the penalty kill on Friday. Kramer managed the shorthanded goal in the second period and senior forward Tony Uglem followed by capitalizing on a power-play goal during the third period of Friday’s game. “A lot of those close games come down to a power play or a penalty kill, one breakdown and one goal pops in and that’s the game right there,” Kramer said. “So it’s one of the more important parts of the game in those close ones.”

How to find fashionable winter wear on a college budget BY SIERRA.HOEGER @iowastatedaily.com Maintaining a sense of style in the wintertime can be a challenge. A common goal of those looking to enhance their winter style is to be both fashionable and warm at the same time. “I would suggest keeping it basic and adding a lot of layers,” said Sarah Wright, senior in apparel, merchandising and design and co-editor in chief of Trend Magazine. “A big trend that I’ve seen take off this year would be layering pieces over turtlenecks.” Finding clothes that match one’s style on a college budget can be a challenge as well. Thrifting is also a trend that has become increasingly popular within the last few years, and a smart way to not only help your wallet, but also the environment. Goodwill, Stuff, Etc. and The Salvation Army are all popular places to find a pair of “mom” jeans, quirky graphic tees and more. “I am a big thrift store shopper, especially for winter clothes because I like to keep such basic pieces,” Wright said. “It’s a logical place to shop while I’m trying to afford tuition.” As for the latest trends this winter, Carhartt has proven itself to be both a functional and fashionable

brand to stay warm. “Carhartt is a typical workwear brand that has taken off within the millennial closet,” Wright said. “The brand was founded in 1889 for a market of blue-collar workers, so it’s interesting to see it take on such a new and different demographic.” While the snow may come and go, winter trends typically stay the same each year. One prime example is turtlenecks. If you can thrift one with a cute design, bonus points. Another cozy classic is cabin socks — fuzzy on the inside, cute on the outside. However you decide to keep up with the trends this winter, being both warm and affordable are two of the biggest factors one has to keep in mind.

Tips for getting back into an academic routine BY SIERRA.HOEGER @iowastatedaily.com Mind still on vacation mode? Find it hard to get back into a set routine with a new schedule? Here are some tips and tricks on how to get back into the groove of school and make your second semester even better than the first. Your body might still be used to the routine of sleeping in until noon, eating sweets and doing absolutely nothing until it was time to return to your beloved bed. If you’re still feeling sluggish, what your body might need is some exercise. Exercise can help improve your mental state, and can make you feel more energized than before. Implementing exercise into your daily routine can also encourage you to drink more water, which is always a plus. Water can help beat the sluggishness

you’ve been feeling over break. While setting a scheduled time to go to bed seems nearly impossible, do it when you can control it. This will help instill that you’re sticking to a routine even if it is just one night a week. Creating a bedtime routine that includes showering, washing your face and brushing your teeth seems like something one naturally does. However, organizing your school bag, laying out your clothes and ensuring that you’re ready for the next day can also be great additions to any routine. This will also help to make you feel more prepared and make your morning routine unravel with ease. Using your time wisely and not leaving homework until the last minute may be a hard habit to stick with, especially as the semester goes on. Using a planner to ensure that you’re not forgetting any assignments or vital to-do’s on your list helps to maintain a sense of control in a chaotic life.

Ames High School. “We’re currently in the design and development phase with our architects and construction managers working,” Frandsen said. “They will bring [their final plans] to the board for approval at the end of February.” Frandsen said the new school will help the board focus on its goal of providing as many students as possible with an adequate learning space. “It’s such an exciting time for us to see all of these conversations we’ve had over the years to come to fruition and to see what this school is going to look like,” Frandsen said. Haila said the city faced challenges with communication, increasing its workforce, providing the best possible housing and inclusivity. “These aren’t the only challenges in Ames,” Haila said. “These are just some of the ones that pop out.”

Haila also discussed upcoming developments in the city, including construction on Welch Avenue, the Healthy Life Center and Sunsmart Ames. “The Healthy Life Center is one unique opportunity for our community to help intergenerationally meet the needs for healthy lifestyles,” Haila said. He also discussed how the city is increasing its efforts to communicate with the citizenry. “We can’t knock on everybody’s door whenever there’s a new development and ask them what they think about it,” he said. Haila talked about how staff had been reaching out to different business, institutional and neighborhood leaders to gather input on different projects and urged people to give their input on the upcoming Comprehensive Plan. “Feb. 5 will be our first public forum,” Haila said. “Please make it a priority to come to that. We want to hear from everyone in the community and get their input.”

“While there’s been progress, the dream had not yet been filled,” Hardman said. “When we live in a society where less than 3 percent of Fortune 500 companies are run by minorities ... where women are still paid considerably less than men for the same work, the dream has not been fulfilled.” She also described her hardships running for public office in Des Moines, where she became the first African American woman to be elected onto the city council. “I encountered a man that looked at me when I opened the door and said, ‘You’re a colored woman, and West Des Moines doesn’t elect colored women to office,’” Hardman said. “I decided to thank him for his time and walk away from those steps, because I didn’t think my message would resonate.” The altercation left her downtrodden, and

she reached out to her mother for advice. “I picked up my phone and called my mother, who raised three girls as a single mother in inner-city Chicago,” Hardman said. “I told her what happened, and my mom said, ‘Did he spit on you? Did he hose you down? Did he pour coffee on your face? That’s what happened to your ancestors. He only spoke words. Ancestors dealt with so much more.’” Hardman said that conversation reminded her she stood on the shoulders of people who fought to end injustice, and people like King had given the people a chance to continue the fight for a more equitable world. “He has taught us that darkness cannot drown out darkness, only light can,” Hardman said. “That hate cannot drive out hate, only love can. I hope we can all use Dr. King’s message, so that we might work miracles in the lives of those that choose to hate.”

“It is kind of playing on the fact that 2018 was such a big year for women in terms of their representation and their being elected to office,” said Tessa DiTonto, Iowa State professor of political science. “It’s sort of a wave, and it also speaks to the metaphor of the ‘waves’ of the feminist movement. First wave referred to suffrage, second wave was the women’s movement of the ‘60s and ‘70s, so there is speculation about ‘Are we in another wave of feminist activism?” I think it is kind of referring to that as well.” Women of power from all over came to speak about the importance of women and their role in the government. Iowa District 3 Representative Cindy Axne spoke about the importance of unity. “My mom taught us to always stand up for what is right, to fight back against injustice, to make sure that we protect the people in our community, no matter if we knew them or not, because we are absolutely all in this together,” Axne said. Axne was joined by Kylä Patterson, J a c q u e l i n n e H a l l e r, B o n n i e B r o w n , Christine Nobiss and Deidre DeJear, all of

whom spoke to the importance of inclusivity, respect and the involvement of women not only in the national government but in the local government. Keynote speaker Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand talked about the issue of equal representation in the government, women’s empowerment and the government shutdown. “Women still do not represent 51 percent of the elected leaders in this country,” Gillibrand said. “Imagine, for just a moment, what America would look like if it did.” This year’s #WomensWave encourages young women, and anyone else who feels strongly about the rights of women and other disenfranchised groups, to stand up and be heard. “Women want to be involved in the political process,” Stoehr said. “They want to be involved in their futures. A lot of women are sick and tired of people telling them how they can live their lives. It’s important to be able to be the leaders of their own destinies, having their voices heard and being able to stand up for themselves with privilege and power.”
