The switch from red to teal was done to honor Saturday’s Dance Marathon, the largest student-run philanthrophic organization.

Students like Brady Caviness, bottom left, senior in industrial engineering, help with banners and decorations in preparation. Last year’s event, on Jan. 21, 2012, raised a record-holding $380,742.15. The actual event starts with highlights from previous years, and each hour has a different theme.

If ever Iowa State and University of Iowa students can come together for any sort of cause, it’s proven to be possible every winter when students from both schools dance — for the kids, that is. Dance Marathon, a nationwide movement that involves both college and high school kids, involves more than 150 schools around the United States. Students at these schools work together to raise money for a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital within their community. Iowa State and the University of Iowa both work to raise money for the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital in Iowa City every year.
Chad Knight, co-director of recruitment and morale, has been involved with ISU Dance Marathon for five years. He originally joined Dance Marathon when he was in high school. “It was something I did in high school, and then I found it here, and I loved it,” Knight said. “I found a different way to be involved every year. So, when I was a freshman, I was a dancer, and then, the next year I was on a committee. And then, the year after that, I was on the committee that I am now in charge of. My fourth year I was

By Daniel.Bush @iowastatedaily.com The ISU community filled the Sun Room of the Memorial Union to honor and take action for Martin Luther King Jr on Thursday. His message and desire has motivated the community to make a change. Pamela Anthony, dean of students, spoke of Martin Luther King Jr. “[He was] a man whose unrelenting pursuit of equality for all individuals literally changed the landscape of race relations in America,” said Anthony. As a community, students should all strive for the same goal of equality, said Anthony. “As Dr. King tells it, ‘Our ultimate aim is to live with all men as brothers and sisters,’” said Monic Behnken, assistant professor of psychology. King experienced two things that helped him give

Police Blotter:
Ames, ISU Police Departments
The information in the log comes from the ISU and City of Ames police departments’ records. All those accused of violating the law are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Jan. 19 Shengjie Zhuang, 21, 158C University Village, was arrested and charged with driving under suspension at Bruner Drive and Long Road (reported at 1:22 a.m.). Ginger Faulkner, 33, of Glendale, Ariz., was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance at Howard Avenue and Lincoln Way (reported at 2:42 a.m.). Nicholas Merfeld, 20, 4709 Steinbeck St., Apt. 13, was arrested and charged with public intoxication and underage possession of alcohol at Franklin Ave. and Lincoln Way (reported at 2:54 a.m.). Scott Cicciarelli Jr., 18, 6334 Larch Hall, was arrested and charged with public intoxication at Willow Hall (reported at 4:35 a.m.). A staff member reported vandalism in a kitchen area at Frederiksen Court (reported at 11:13 a.m.). An individual reported the theft of a wallet at State Gym (reported at 6:55 p.m.). Nolan Eich, 18, of Boone, was cited for underage possession
of alcohol at the 200 block of Welch Road (reported at 9:08 p.m.). Ryan Wengert, 18, 1002 Oklahoma Drive, was cited for underage possession of alcohol at Maple Hall (reported at 10:46 p.m.). Otto Oathout, 18, 5202 Willow Hall, was cited for underage possession of alcohol at the 2900 block of Wood Street (reported at 11:48 p.m.).

Joshua Blake, 22, of Vinton, was arrested and charged with operating while intoxicated at Lot 112D (reported at 12:36 a.m.).
>>KING.p1 back to his community. “He had firsthand experience with racism, segregation, discriminatory practices and discriminatory hiring practices,” said keynote speaker Arnold Woods III. “The second thing … is that he recognized that the educated could also be immoral.” Education is important, and King developed it into a high priority. “Dr. King sees education as a responsibility,” Woods said. “So what he’s saying here is that we have to broaden our goals when we come to a university. Our focus when we come here can’t just be to get a degree and to get a highpaying job.” The committee decided to change the name of the event to the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Legacy Convocation. A convocation is a community gathering for the same goal, said Chrishelda Green, freshman in human sciences and member of the Legacy Convocation Planning
Committee. Green challenged the community to act for equality in all forms: race, gender, ethnicity, etc. “It’s not enough to talk about Dr. King, you have to be about the King’s vision,” said Green. “I invite you to act. Find something you can do to advance the causes of equality.” The community was encouraged to attend more multicultural events. “I thought it was very educational for a lot of people who didn’t know a lot of this information, because a lot of this is not given out,” said Jordan O’Brien, sophomore in kinesiology and health. Erin Pederson, a psychologist at student counseling services, agreed. “I often feel like I’m not in a community that’s talking about that inspiration and so it’s great to have these events every once in a while where the energy accumulates in the room,” said Pederson. “Care about your education. Education can lead to equity,” Woods said.
CYCLONE HOCKEY Player of the Week #3 Antti Helanto
Down a goal with less than three minutes in Friday night’s game against Illinois, Antti Helanto took the team on his back, skated the puck from the defensive zone and into the offensive zone, made a pass, followed the play, then took a loose puck as a trailer and scored to send the game to overtime. Although the Iowa State lost 3-2 in a shootout, and 5-0 on Saturday, the sophomore defenseman performed well both nights. The Cyclones play a home-and-home series this weekend against the Iowa Hawkeyes, including a home game at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena Friday at 7:30 p.m.

>>ELECTIONS.p1 “We had 3,000 students vote last year, and we want to see that number rise to 4,600 students this year,” Guenther said. “Hopefully, we can reach that number and maybe even surpass it.” Following the kickoff, the two GSB executive tickets spoke about their platforms and plans for their campaigns. The two executive pairs running are Spencer Hughes, a junior in speech communication, for president with Hillary Kletscher, a junior in biological systems engineering, as his vice president. The other pair of students running in the election is Daniel Rediske, a senior in computer science, for president and Zachary Bauer, a sophomore in political science, as his vice president. Hughes and Kletscher spoke about their slogan, “It’s all about U,” and how they are running a student-first campaign. The duo believes ISU students are not united with GSB and that this is an issue that needs to be fixed. Hughes pointed to the executive scholarships that the GSB president, vice president and finance director receive as part of the problem.
“This is wrong. If we are going to be united as a student body, this is something we have to change,” Hughes said. Candidate for vice president Kletscher spoke about why she and Hughes would make a good president and vice president, stating the two are on the same page and that they feel they have the right message for students at Iowa State. Rediske and Bauer are looking to better communicate with ISU students and to educate the students more about what GSB can do for them. “We can empower students more by making ourselves more transparent,” Rediske said. The two alluded to student input as a keystone in bettering GSB as well as noting how it has been lacking input. Rediske also said they want to spend student fees better than they have been spent in the past. Bauer called to attention some areas he and Rediske worked on while being part of GSB. “Each of us deals with different aspects of GSB,” Bauer said. “Dan works with finance, and I work with public relations. So, that gives us a good balance and understanding.”

Editorial:
ISU students need to learn about GSB With Thursday night’s kick-off event, the annual senatorial and presidential-vice presidential elections for the Government of the Student Body have begun. If all goes well, campus will host all kinds of opportunities for students to learn about those running for GSB through campaign flyers, events, signature collections, reminders to vote, debates, letters to the editor, and the obligatory editorials from us weighing the merits and demerits of the candidates. Key members of GSB, such as the members of the election commission and the members of the Senate’s public relations committee, probably will uphold tradition and precedent by presenting election season as an opportunity for students to learn more about GSB and to get involved. Certainly, that is true. And with dismal turnouts that hover at approximately 10 percent, students need to get their minds right and put themselves in an attitude where they can, and will, learn more about the process and substance of GSB. But election season also is a time in which students can learn much about themselves. Students interact constantly. Starting a conversation with a neighbor before class, at lunch, before some athletic event or lecture series rarely takes more effort than leaning over and saying hello. Unlike politicos running for the sexy offices of president, senator, and representative (at the United States level, that is), candidates for GSB are the same age as us, live in the same residence halls as us, eat at the same dining centers as us, pay the same tuition and fees as us, and go to the same football games as us. Couple that ease of communication with that similarity, and mix it in with the knowledge of an opportunity to make student government work a little better for students. Why wouldn’t we become a hive of conversation? We suppose that apathy is part of it. When the politics we all hear about in Washington, D.C. are so repulsive, it becomes easy to bury our heads in our iPods, smartphones, Twitter feeds and Facebook posts. Ignoring the world “out there” and concentrating on Pint Night and the length of the line at the Super Dog stand means it’s only a matter of time when nothing can get done because the people who are supposed to work together are content only to beat their chests and sling mud at one another. Such negativity obscures the fact that such “politics as usual” isn’t usual. It’s not even politics. Playing off one party against another, pandering to a base of voters who won’t get a chance to vote for another two years, charging that the opposition are guilty of delay and scare tactics, focusing on scandal and intrigue, and offering posts to hangers-on — these are corruption, not politics, which is selfless. “Politics” is not a dirty word. GSB is a political agency. In keeping with others, GSB can seem petty or trifling, and a waste of students’ time and money — two preciously limited commodities. However, as a local organization, GSB and GSB elections are a necessary opportunity for today’s students and the leaders and ordinary citizens of tomorrow to practice putting the interests of the community ahead of the self-serving negativity that has come to define the term “politics.”

elcome to four more years (take that how you wish). On Monday Barack Obama was sworn in as our nation’s 44th president. Spectators from all over the world gathered in Washington D.C. to watch the ceremony. This ceremony fulfills a constitutional requirement that demands we celebrate how wonderful our country is. Political agendas are not supposed to be the main focus of the inauguration ceremony. Celebrating our nation’s history and our political freedoms are the main focuses. During his speech Obama called for greater equality and selfless citizenship. He said many of the issues we face as he begins his second term are the same problems we were facing when he was sworn in for the first time, with the economy topping the list. This shows how big our problems are and that we still have tough times ahead. For example, Congress is voting to raise the debt limit this Wednesday, which is sure to have Congress pointing fingers at one another yet again. Another point the president made was a demand for greater equality: in pay for women, treatment of people regardless of sexual orientation and in his refusal of “the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future.” Civil rights have come a long way, but as the president said, “We have always understood that when times change, so must we.” We can move forward, and we need to be open to those opportunities. I thought the most important point was when he discussed the need for us to work together to better our society by saying “We are made for this moment, and we will seize it — so long as we seize it together.” Our generation should take this seriously. Our nation is in a rough time, and it can be our generation
By Hannah.Dankbar @iowastatedaily.com that changes things, if we want it to be. Take some time to consider whether you are being an active American citizen. We need to remember that the people who make this nation so great are the people in it. We have great freedoms and people do enjoy them. As citizens, we should show our gratitude by using our freedoms — such as free speech — to help our country. Our ability to work together is going to determine the future of our nation. Look at Congress’ track record from the past couple years and you will find that not being able to compromise will accomplish nothing. Unfortunately, I can see this being a challenge for our nation. People have their beliefs and are taught to stick to those beliefs. According to an article on CNN in 2009, nearly 60 percent of Americans saw the inauguration of Obama as a celebration of democracy, while in 2013 the same percent saw it as a political celebration of the winning party. To support my concern, a poll from CNN showed that 54 percent of Americans believe Obama will be an outstanding or above average president in his second term, and 43 percent said he’d be poor or below average. Overall, 70 percent of Americans hope the president’s policies succeed. Only 40 percent of Republicans feel that way, and 52 percent
hope Obama will fail. Why anybody would hope our President would fail is beyond me. CNN polling director Keating Holland said, “The thrill is gone, along with the hope that the start of a new presidential term of office will bring a divided nation together.” To me, that means Americans aren’t excited about politics right now. In a time when our nation is facing huge challenges, our citizens are not excited. I see this as a huge problem. So, go listen to Obama’s speech, enjoy all the enthusiastic people in the crowds and get excited to be American. Find an issue that you are passionate about and do something about it.

Columnist Dankbar argues that patriotism is not as high as it could be, which needs to change to ensure a successful future for the nation.
Television
Political satire replaces cable news H ow do you like political satire on television? If you think these shows are just dumbed down “news” sprinkled with gross humor, think again. They can be entertaining and informing at the same time. The two most popular satirists on cable television are Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” is a mix of commentary and a liberal view on the day’s events and the media, politics or anything interesting. The latter part of the show serves as a guest talk show. Colbert in “The Colbert Report” relies on sarcasm by acting as a conservative political pundit. I stumbled upon an interesting study that said viewers of “The Daily Show” are better informed about international current events than those who watch cable news. Interestingly, these “news” shows attract a lot of young viewers. Forty-three percent of Colbert’s audience is younger than 30, while the figure stands at 39 percent for Stewart. So what makes fake news shows interesting? Talented “news anchors” and writers do most of it. Of course, there are gross jokes and beeped words. Also, not every joke is always a General information: The Iowa State Daily is an independent student newspaper established in 1890 and written, edited, and sold by students

gem of knowledge. But, by and large, the show is funny, witty and popular. Could it be a coincidence that viewers of “The Daily Show” are “better informed” than viewers of cable news? I don’t think so. This is because Stewart and Colbert do a lot of things, intentionally or unintentionally, expected from a serious journalist. “The Daily Show” covers everyday events in a humorous way and provides some food for thought. Stewart asks serious questions after the funny stuff. Other forms of serious work by them include digging through old news clips to find an astounding contradiction from a politician or even a news anchor. In contrast, cable news is now home to partisan talking heads, lapdog journalism, gossip and less real news. The fact that this show makes fun of news channels does not mean it stays aloof in taking a stance. A satirist is not just someone making mindless jokes, but someone providing serious thought and consideration to each show. Political satire has gone beyond taking pinches at the news media and politicians

and can indeed bring real change. In 2010, Jon Stewart presented a segment on the 9/11 Responder Bill, which was largely ignored by the news media. It did not pass in the Senate for fear that it might be another entitlement spending. In another “news” segment, Stewart criticized the House as it was unable to pass the two-thirds majority required. The conventional news followed this issue until a bill was eventually passed (still excluding cancer care as part of the compromise). The resonating popularity of these shows has brought the influence of satirists outside their studios. Stewart’s stature enables him to be frank and critical of other shows. In 2004, he was invited on the CNN program “Crossfire,” a talk show featuring liberal and conservative pundits. The interview took an interesting turn when Stewart started questioning and criticizing the hosts. Jon Stewart said to the anchors, “It’s not so much that it’s bad, as it’s hurting America ... Stop, stop, stop, stop hurting America.” Shortly after this, the show was discontinued. I would say the “news anchor” had enough influence to help shut down a real talk show. Colbert also seems to be mak-

ing the most of his popularity as he sought a place on the democratic ballot to run for president in 2008 and formed a Super PAC in the 2012 presidential election, which began as a joke against the Supreme Court decision to allow unlimited corporate funding for political purposes. In 2010, Stewart and Colbert held a rally in Washington, D.C. “to restore sanity and/or fear” for “militant moderates.” The rally mostly focused on finding the middle path to solve highly divisive and partisan issues. This was meant to bring out the anger and frustration of everyday people in a politically divided atmosphere. It was well-received with an audience of about 200,000 people. So what should an average viewer take away from these shows? Laughter and a bit of serious thought, if these satirists are making serious discussions funny or if they are just making sense of a funny situation. A sign at the above-mentioned rally summed it up well: “It’s a sad day when our politicians are comical, and I have to take our comedians seriously.”

By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com After falling in a trap game early in the week, Iowa State has work to do on its resume. The Cyclones (13-5, 3-2 Big 12) lost on the road Wednesday to one of the league’s bottom-dwellers in Texas Tech. Come tournament time, the loss will stick out to the NCAA tournament committee as Iowa State aims for a second bid in as many seasons. The schedule, meanwhile, isn’t going to get any easier. “We’ve got a really tough stretch coming up,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg in his news conference Monday. “Our guys are excited about that; they’re excited about the challenge.” That challenge is much bigger now and it begins with No. 11 Kansas State (15-3, 4-1) on Saturday in Ames. In the loss to Texas Tech on Wednesday, the Cyclones went just 6-of-23 on 3-pointers and the team was out-rebounded 38-29. Despite an 8-0 run out of halftime, Iowa State was never able to take control of the game, and a sluggish ISU offense scored a season-low 51 points in the loss. Against Kansas State, the Cyclones will need to start faster than they have in the last two games. Iowa State started slow against TCU last Saturday and trailed at halftime Wednesday. The Cyclones are now 1-3 this season when trailing at halftime. Kansas State lost by four points against No. 3 Kansas on Tuesday. The team is led by Rodney McGruder, who is averaging 15.4 points in nearly 32 minutes per game for the Wildcats so far this season. A win might begin to put the Cyclones back on track. “You try to put your resume together and try to get enough quality wins to where you’re in the NCAA tournament discussion,” Hoiberg said. No matter what happens Saturday, the upcoming schedule won’t be much easier. The Cyclones will return to the road to take on Oklahoma State next Wednesday before playing two home games against Baylor and Oklahoma — the other two 4-1 teams ahead of the Cyclones in the Big 12 — after that. The stretch begins against the Wildcats at Hilton Coliseum on Saturday. Tipoff is scheduled for 12:45 p.m.
For the first time since Dec. 10, 2010, the No. 13 ISU hockey team will renew their rivalry with Iowa. The Cyclones (15-14-1-2) will play one game against the Hawkeyes (1316-0-1) in Ames this Friday and then another game in Cedar Rapids on Sunday. ISU coach Al Murdoch said he wants to try to use all of his players in this weekend’s games. Brandon Clark, Alex Stephens, David Kurbatsky and Scott Ismond are all nursing injuries and might be

rested this weekend. Iowa is led in scoring by forward Matan Nadler, who has 37 points (15 goals, 22 assists) this season in 26 games played. Last Sunday and Monday, he had nine points (one goal, eight assists) in two games against Eastern Illinois, which they split with a 9-4 win on Sunday and a 7-6 loss on Monday. The Hawkeyes’ goaltenders have been weak so far this season. Their top goaltender, Mitchell Levinson, has a .881 save percentage and a 4.65 goalsagainst average with a 6-6 record. Landon Weber, who played for the ISU DIII hockey team last season, is
their second-leading goaltender with a .852 save percentage and a 5.05 goals-against average. He has a 2-6 record. ISU forward J.P. Kascsak, the Cyclones’ second-leading scorer with 28 points (12 goals, 16 assists) in 31 games this season, is preparing to take advantage of the Hawkeyes’ weak goaltenders. “We practice lots of rebound shots, shooting for rebounds so the guy going to the net can hit the rebound in,” Kascsak said. “And then when you shoot for rebounds it opens up holes in the net where you can slam the puck through.”

Murdoch said with the way the tickets for Friday night’s game are selling, he thinks “the house is gonna be packed.” He said the cheer squad and the pep band will be at Friday’s game as well. “I tell the pep band and the cheer squad — and I’m not kidding about it — they give us a one-goal advantage,” Murdoch said. “Other schools envy us for having a pep band and a cheer squad.” The Cyclones take on the Hawkeyes at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, and again at the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena at 1:15 p.m. on Sunday.

Iowa’s Dance Marathon program. This year will be his fourth year of involvement with the event. “I became involved through Phi Kappa Psi,” Bordeaux said. “I remember there was a big showing, and a guy I knew was on the leadership team. I joined and just fell in love with it.” Dance Marathon was started at the University of Iowa in 1994. Over the past 18 years, it has raised more approximately $11.2 million. Nic Rusher, executive director of the University of Iowa’s Dance Marathon program, said the University of Iowa does not have a set monetary goal for their program. “This year, we did not set a monetary goal because we believe the focus of our organization should be on the emotional support that we provide for our kids and families,” Rusher said. “That being said, we are always looking to be bigger and better than last year. So, we have tried extremely hard to focus on our participants’ experience, making sure that it is the best it can be while they are part of UI Dance Marathon.” Dance Marathon was started at Iowa State in 1998 and since then has continued to grow in its own right. Last year, ISU Dance Marathon raised approximately $380,742. Szuyin Leow, senior in mechanical engineering, has been involved with ISU Dance Marathon for four years. She is also the codirector of recruitment and morale. “I am in charge of all the morale captains who are in charge of the routines of dancers,” Leow said. She became involved through her sorority, Pi Beta Phi. “I signed up on the team, not really knowing what it was,” Leow said. “It’s obviously made a huge impact on me, on my college career, and changed my life. It’s been a good thing.” Leow is now the chapter president of her sorority. She said working with her fellow students for such a cause really made an impact on her life. “There’s a really empowering feeling getting to see all these student leaders work-

ing together for a great cause like Children’s Miracle Network, and it’s so cool that a bunch of college students come together and raise thousands of dollars. So, that’s a huge deal,” Leow said. Iowa State will be hosting its Dance Marathon on Saturday. Dancers can begin arriving at the Memorial Union between 7 and 8 a.m. They will stay on their feet for 15 hours, listening to music, playing games, hanging out with the miracle children and dancing, with the celebration ending around midnight. Rusher said some UI Dance Marathon members would also be making an appearance at ISU Dance Marathon’s big event to offer support.
