FOR THE KIDS Dance Marathon raises money for Children’s Miracle Network By Wendy.Cardwell @iowastatedaily.com

op music consumed the Great Hall of the Memorial Union as Dance Marathon held its 18th annual fundraiser to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The event began at midnight Saturday and concluded at midnight Sunday. Dance Marathon is a student organization that provides year-round support to youth cancer victims and their families. Students, volunteers and families participate in several forms of entertainment while standing on their feet and dancing for hours at a time. Students who fundraise and dance at the event spend the year learning leadership skills while interacting with a miracle child and their family. Several activities were hosted to keep the families, volunteers and children busy. A few of these activities included beanbag toss, talent show, a hypnotist, laser tag, four square, a fashion show and of course dancing. The primary goal of these activities was to raise additional money for children with cancer and to educate and raise awareness in the community. Participants wore different colored T-shirts to represent their role at the event. Blue was for the dancers, yellow for families, red for the families committee, black for operations, light blue for alumni, mint-green for recruitment and dancer relations, purple for business relations

and white for executives. This year, Dance Marathon hosted a Disney-themed event. Student dancers volunteer for Dance Marathon to connect with the kids and stay on their feet throughout the entire time. Several families attended the event to support each other and connect with other families that are going through similar situations. Dance Marathon was highlighted by speeches from parents of children with cancer and cancer survivors. Laura Stauffer, a mother of two, attended the event with her family. She thinks of her son Caiden as a happy 6-yearold boy who loves soccer, reading, science and rough housing with other little boys. However, that is not the only thing that consumes her mind. Her son has been diagnosed with numerous issues throughout the years, including anxiety disorder, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, developmental delays, sensory chronic migraines and more than 45 environmental and food allergies. “One of the things that drew me to Dance Marathon was the fact that they supported, respected and appreciated children with special needs, and made them feel special for who they were and were able to help celebrate their unique qualities,” Stauffer said. Dance Marathon has provided families with support and love they need to connect with other families at the event each year.

Iowa group sets goals at human trafficking meeting By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com

A Boy Scout asks his ROTC instructor a question while learning about how to treat hypothermia in a winter survival situation. Scouts attended sessions on land navigation, signaling, first aid and personal hygiene in the Armory on Jan. 24.

Boy Scouts learn winter survival skills from cadets By Kelly.McGowan @iowastatedaily.com An Eagle Scout and ROTC cadet led nearly 300 Boy Scouts in the Scout Oath on the Armory bleachers Jan. 24. “On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country,” said Benjamin Brixius, junior in kinesiology and health. He recited the oath to start the 28th annual Boy Scout Winter Survival Training hosted by ROTC cadets at Iowa State. Teams of cadets volunteered to teach courses, as 12 to 17-yearold scouts rotated through. Classes in the Armory covered land navigation, signaling, first aid and personal hygiene. Outdoor classes in Pammel Woods covered fire and shelter building and water and food procurement. Sparse snow and a 48-degree high made for a different training than previous years.

Todd Eipperle, a first sergeant of military intelligence in the National Guard and field director for the Mid Iowa Council for the Boy Scouts of America, saw the benefits that scouting provided during his deployment to Iraq in 2003 and works to share those benefits with young scouts. Seeing Brixius lead the event showed the scouts an example of what they could do in the future, Eipperle said. Boy Scouts follows a military structure and many ROTC cadets are former scouts. Around 11 ISU cadets reached the rank of Eagle Scout. Cadet Matthew Kelly, sophomore in chemistry, is one of them. He joined at age 15. This is later than most scouts, but he saw that being an Eagle Scout would help with an ROTC scholarship and joined. Kelly got the scout rank on his first day and reached Eagle Scout in one year and seven

months. This designation requires involvement and service in a scouting unit for six months, demonstrated adherence to the Scout Oath and Scout Law, 21 merit badges, a service project, a unit leader’s conference and completion of the Eagle Scout board of review. “When we come out and introduce ourselves as Eagle Scouts, you can see their eyes get real big,” Kelly said. “Wearing this uniform, they look up to us as role models and as leaders and I think that’s just something incredible.” He taught scouts about finding food in the wilderness. “You never know when you’re going to get stuck in a survival situation,” Kelly said Joshua Smith, leader of Troop 346 in Jasper County, came to this training at Iowa State when he was a Boy Scout

A central Iowa group dedicated to stopping human trafficking is calling upon the state’s youth to help raise awareness. Human trafficking is the illegal movement of people, forcing them to work in the sex trade or perform any kind of labor by using forms of coercion, abduction, fraud or deception. Passing new trafficking-sensitive legislation, training law enforcement to detect human trafficking situations and brainstorming ideas on how to raise awareness on trafficked minorities in Iowa were some of the main goals at The Central Iowa Service Network Against Human Trafficking meeting on Jan.23. Runaway or homeless children are most susceptible to being trafficked, said Teresa DowningMatibag, co-chairwoman of the network. “The longer a youth remains homeless or runaway ... the higher the chance they’re going to be brought into the sex trade,” she said. Downing-Matibag, also an ISU sociology lecturer, said she wants to bring focus to trafficking in minority children, especially those whom identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer. “Up to 40 percent of street youth are LGBT youth,” she said. About 26 percent of the LGBT youth on the streets were kicked out of the house, Downing-Matibag said. “Once trafficked, these children face beatings, mutilations, brandings, rapes and a host of other crimes no child should ever live through,” Downing-Matibag read from a US trafficking in persons report. Some representatives spoke with the Iowa Community College Association to initiate adult community training in order to educate people to recognize the signs of human trafficking in their

areas. The curriculum includes how to recognize the signs of a trafficking victim and to learn the risk factors of those who are most likely to be trafficked. “Look for the absence of normal. If something does not look right, call,” said Terry Hernandez, executive director for the Chrysalis Foundation, a women’s foundation in Des Moines. “What we hear from law enforcement is, ‘we would much rather you be wrong, than have us miss a case.’” One of the hurdles in training law enforcement isn’t the training itself, Downing-Matibag said, but the number of officers available to train. In states with similar populations to Iowa, the average ratio of officers to civilians is about 1-to481. Iowa’s officer to civilian ratio is 1-to-589, according to the latest FBI full time law enforcement employees report in 2011. Kelly Butcher, president of Iowa State’s chapter of the Network Against Human Trafficking, was there to update the network on her chapter’s progress and goals, which includes raising awareness on labor trafficking in addition to the sex trade. “You hear about sex trafficking and it’s devastating, but you think, OK what can I do? I’m not buying sex. I’m not watching porn, so I’m just going to keep doing my life,” said Butcher, a senior in psychology. “With labor trafficking, we’re all contributing to that with the products that we buy. If we make them more aware of those things, that would be huge.” Butcher said the issue of human trafficking is important for college and high school aged students to be aware of because they are part of the generation to catch. “If you get to the just out of college and beyond population, it’s almost too late,” she said. “Whereas if you hit the high schoolers and college kids who are going to be the ones whom then buy or watch porn, and they know about it ahead of time, then they are less likely to do it.”

Sexual assault reported at Larch Hall By Danielle.Ferguson@iowastatedaily.com A student reported being sexually assaulted by an acquaintance Friday. The incident happened Jan. 19 in Larch Hall, a timely warning released by Iowa State stated. The timely warning was released around 4 p.m. Friday. This is the second sexual assault-related timely warning released within the last week, with the first notification released Jan. 22, about an assault at Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

Sexual assault reported at Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity By Danielle.Ferguson, Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com A student reported being sexually assaulted by an individual Jan. 16, 2015, according to a timely warning sent out by ISU Police on Jan. 22. The assault occurred at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house at 140 Lynn Ave. Ames Police Department Public Information Officer Jason Tuttle said the victim reported the sexual assault at about 11 a.m. the following day. The night the victim reported the assault, the

Story County Sexual Assault Response Team, SART, visited Mary Greeley hospital. Tuttle said the victim said a member of the fraternity was responsible for the assault. Ames PD issued a search warrant Jan. 17 for the fraternity house. Maxwell Johnson, a member of the fraternity, was arrested on charges of interfering with official acts during the search. “He first refused to let officers enter the building and then while they were trying to search, he tried to move in the way to prevent the

officers from going further in the house,” Tuttle said. “He began screaming at the officers.” The officers tried to escort Johnson away from the search. “He started trying to flail and kick as the officer tried to remove him from the room,” Tuttle said. The incident is an active investigation being investigated by the Ames Police Department. University Judicial is also holding its own investigation. Christian Dahl, president of SAE, said Friday that he would not comment.

IOWA FREEDOM SUMMIT GOP hopefuls give speeches in Des Moines By Alex.Hanson, Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com Republicans eyeing the White House in 2016 gathered in Des Moines on Saturday for what can be described as the unofficial kickoff to the 2016 presidential race in Iowa. The nine-hour marathon of speeches featured up-and-coming stars within the GOP and several familiar names for Iowans. Speeches took aim at President

Obama, Hillary Clinton, Obamacare, illegal immigration and foreign policy. “It’s good to be back in Iowa!” was a common line among speakers who ran for President in 2008 and 2012 and those who campaigned heavily in the 2014 midterm elections for Iowa candidates. The event, billed as the “Iowa Freedom Summit,” took place in front of a soldout crowd of over 1,200 at the Hoyt Sherman Place in Des Moines. Citizens United and U.S. Rep. Steve

King, R-Iowa, sponsored the event along with several conservative news outlets joining in as co-sponsors. Those who may run include Dr. Ben Carson, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. Several other prominent speakers attended the event, focusing on different themes. Former U.N. Am-

MIKE HUCKABEE Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Hucakbee focused his speech on foreign policy and the American military. Huckabee called out President Obama for not being more aggressive in the recent acts of terrorism across the nation and for wanting to end the War on Terrorism. “We don’t call 911 out of fear, but rather to come and tell them to pick up the body,” Huckabee said. “These are not people who want a piece of land; these are not the people who want to rise in the pecking order. These are people who fundamentally believe you should never breathe

won’t.” Like Cruz, Huckabee also said he wants to do away with the IRS so as not to stifle the growth of business with unreasonable taxes. “We will never be able to build a strong economy when we punish hard workers,” Huckabee said. Huckabee, who won the Iowa Caucus in 2008 and ended his FOX show

several weeks ago to contemplate a run, was the final speaker. He spent his speech criticizing President Obama and Democrats. “Why aren’t we talking about how to get people to, not to a new minimum wage, but to a maximum wage?” Huckabee said in response to what he said was a misguided campaign to raise the minimum wage. Huckabee also met with the crowd afterward, signing copies of his book “God, Guns, Grits and Gravy.” Huckabee also signed books in Ames, earlier on Saturday.

Perry said. H e a l s o called on Congress, “who has become this debating society unable to act, only talk.” He said Congress needs to send the message that it is not going to listen to President Obama’s immigration reform, and it will secure the border. Perry also said he is the perfect candidate to foster economic growth through the growth of small businesses and low tax burdens. Perry, similar

to Walker, touted his work as governor, saying a third of jobs created in the last 14 years have come from Texas because of the low tax burden on small businesses in the state. America also needs to become an arsenal of energy, which the Keystone pipeline will assist with, if approved by the president. Americans do not want a slow recovery program like they have gotten, Perry said. Voters in 2016 will vote for “a pro-growth agenda that returns jobs [and] increases wages, [which] will turn our country around quickly,” Perry said.

t o r u m echoed o t h e r speakers by saying education should be under local control, and that “we need less common core and more common sense,” Santorum criticized “the breakdown of the family,” saying it is the biggest reason for income inequality in America. Santorum said government should not be a barrier and obstacle, instead America needs to focus on the family structure.

Santorum also said welfare needs to be criticized, including corporate welfare. Santorum talked immigration, saying the border should be secure, similar to what other speakers have said. “We need to stand for an immigration policy that puts Americans and American workers first,” Santorum said. Santorum also spent time discussing his role on the Senate Armed Services committee, clashing with President Bush over issues. Santorum said it proves that he can differ with his party on issues.

portunities and an environment that fosters the growth of small businesses. To do that, Cruz said we need tax reform. “We need to abolish the IRS,” Cruz said. “American’s should be able to fill out taxes on a postcard.” Instead, Cruz said take the 110,000 IRS workers and use them as border security to discourage illegal immigration. The second key to improving America is to

support all of our constitutional rights, Cruz said. Part of that means defending America from terrorists attacks. “You cannot fight and win the war on radical Islamic terrorism if you are unwilling to utter the words radical Islamic terrorism,” Cruz said. Cruz said he supports legislation that says Americans will forfeit their citizenship “if they take up arms with ISIS.” Cruz finished by asking voters to keep candidates accountable for their actions by saying “don’t talk, show me where you stood up and fought for it.”

Dr. Ben Carson, neurosurgeon and potential presidential candidate, was the first to speak around 11:20 a.m. Carson spoke for 20 minutes on several topics, starting with education. “Anyone who gets an education can write their own ticket,” Carson said. “It doesn’t matter what their ethnicity or background is,” Carson said as he told the story of a “terrible student” who grew into one of worlds most famous neurosurgeons. Carson spoke extensively on illegal immigration, calling for the next president, who he said

w o u l d likely be speaking today, to secure the border within a year. Carson also called for a guest worker program, pointing to the system Canada has in place. Carson said he wants those in the U.S. illegally to be able to “come out of the shadows,” although his plan would only allow immigrants to apply from outside the U.S. Carson also said businesses that employ illegal immigrants should face criminal charg-

es.

erything a b o u t it was a “filthy lie.” Doctors are closing private practices because Obamacare has made it so they cannot afford to keep doors open, he said. He also said Obama’s promise that Americans could keep their healthcare plans if they wanted was a lie, and having extreme health care issues is the only way Americans can utilize the health care coverage now. Trump also said we need

to completely seal the borders. “We have to build a fence. Who can build better than Trump? I build,” he said. Trump also said, as a businessman, he sees a large portion of our job market being given to China. “I’ve made so much money fighting against the Chinese and they respect me for it,” Trump said. “They say ‘we can’t believe what [you] get away with. We can’t believe how stupid your leaders are.’” Trump also talked about revamping our subpar roadways and airports.

said. “Being honest isn’t a political liability.” Christie said being a conservative isn’t a liability, as well. “If our conservatism is really going to succeed, it must be able to defend itself in every part of this country,” Christie said. Christie, who is seen as apart of the Republican “establishment” and a “moderate,” said that voters won’t agree with a candidate 100 percent of

the time. Christie told the crowd in attendance to go home and look in the mirror, saying, “you’re the only candidate you’ll agree with 100 percent of the time,” but also said voters would know where he stands 100 percent of the time. “The pursuit of happiness is a goal we need to work everyday to attain,” Christie said near the end of his speech. Christie also quoted John Adams, saying he would fight for liberty, because he did not want to “repent in heaven” for working to “preserve” it.

ancing the budget. “We took power away from big government special interests and put it in the hands of hard working taxpayers,” Walker said. “That’s what we need more of in this country.” Walker also said taxes are lower in the state than they were four years ago. “We’re going to continue to lower taxes,” Walker said. “We understand it’s the peoples money, not the governments money.”

Walker spoke of education reform and said the key to creating a strong system of education is to hire teachers based on performance and pay based on merit. “We can put the best and brightest in our classrooms,” Walker said. “No more seniority or tenure. You can’t hire or fire whoever you want, you can fire based on performance,” Walker said on new reforms that focus on teaching and not who has worked longest. In the end, Walker said America needs a president who is focused on restoring opportunity.

However, Carson said a guest-worker program for illegal immigrants could be implemented. Carson also spoke out against government intervention into healthcare, called for massive reduction in the size of the federal government, criticized politicians for increasing the national debt, called for using America’s natural resources and made his “pro-life” stance known. Toward the end of his speech, Carson called for the U.S. to use more of its natural resources, saying it would help “put Putin back in his box.”

Conservative politician, businessman and entrepreneur Donald Trump distanced himself from other Republicans. Trump said President Obama has been “grossly incompetent,” but he blames Republican leaders for the less than satisfactory state of the country as well. “I’m very disappointed by our Republican politicians because they let the president get away with absolute murder,” Trump said. He began with the popular Republican promise that he would repeal Obamacare because ev-

CHRIS CHRISTIE

TED CRUZ Sen. Ted Cruz’s speech, peppered with calls to action and religious references, garnered as excited of a reaction from the crowd as Gov. Scott Walker’s. “This country was built on an extraordinary miracle. Our rights, they don’t come from government” Cruz said. “They come from God Almighty.” Cruz reminded attendees that America is a place where humble beginnings lead to the American Dream. Now, Cruz said, he is afraid for the America his children will inherit. To improve America, we need to create job op-

have Bush. The last thing we need is another Bush,” said businessman and entrepreneur Donald Trump, the only direct mention of the two during the event. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal; Ohio Gov. John Kasich; U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.; Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., also were not in attendance. Even with all the attention on Des Moines, the 2016 Iowa Caucus is still scheduled more than a year from now.

DONALD TRUMP

RICK SANTORUM Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who won the 2012 Iowa caucus, took the stage around 2:55 p.m., first grabbing the crowd’s ear. Santorum said the Republican party needs to continue to stand for lower taxes and spending, and less regulation. “We need to be progrowth, but we also need to be pro-worker,” Santorum said. “We need to be on the side of the American worker,” Santorum spent time criticizing President Obama on “middle-class economics.” On education, San-

ly used when President Obama first campaigned for office. Other speakers included Gov. Terry Branstad, Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and U.S. Rep. Rod Blum, RIowa, and Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C. Notably absent were former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. “You can’t have Romney. He choked. You can’t

RICK PERRY The end of former Gov. Rick Perry’s speech was met with some booing from members of the crowd who held up signs that said “deportable?” after Perry mentioned his record of securing the Texas-Mexico border. Perry said as governor of Texas, he knew the Mexican drug cartels allowed no one to pass the border into Texas, unless they were approved, so Perry called the Texas National Guard to move south to secure the border. “If Washington refuses to secure the border, Texas will. This problem has dragged on long enough,”

bassador John Bolton and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich focused extensively on foreign policy. Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who mentioned she is considering a 2016 bid, spoke at length on being pro-life and “liberal hypocrisy.” Sarah Palin gave a 35-minute speech, at one point mocking the “Ready for Hillary” campaign. “Can anyone stop Hillary? Let’s borrow a phrase, ‘Yes we can,’” Palin said, also using a line frequent-

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie spoke next, taking the stage just after 5:20 p.m. Christie spoke of a “culture of distrust” in government today. “We want a government that works the way civics books say its supposed to work,” Christie said. Much like Perry, Christie touted work he has done as governor in a blue state, putting emphasis on being “prolife.” “I can assure you, being pro-life isn’t a political liability anywhere in America,” Christie

SCOTT WALKER Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker stood out by pacing the stage without a jacket and rolled up sleaves. During his 20-minute speech, Walker spent time thanking supporters for his recall election effort and spent extensive time talking about reforms made in Wisconsin. Walker said he inherited a state filled with more unemployment, billions in debt, double-digit tax increases and government controlled by special interests. Walker then spent time discussing accomplishments, including cutting spending and bal-

training helps them see what Boy Scouts could help them achieve, he said. Kyle Simpson, senior in history, has volunteered for the event for three years and sees the scouts look up to cadets. “They see a uniform and they don’t know the difference between a regu-

lar soldier and a cadet,” Simpson said. “They see us as the same guys that are overseas fighting wars and doing all sorts of things like that. To them, a lot of us are heroes.” He said this spurs questions like whether the military is like Call of Duty. “When they grow up,”

he said, “they’ll understand a lot better it’s not all about shooting guns.” Fletcher Hopkins, junior in kinesiology and health, said he hoped the scouts left with a more realistic vision of the military. “It looks absolutely nothing like it does in the movies,” Hopkins said.

He said they learn winter skills that are important to have in Iowa’s climate. “The Boy Scouts teach a lot of important things they won’t learn in school,” he said. “It covers more than campfires and tents.” His son, a 12-year-old also named Joshua Smith, said he would feel more confident if he were to get lost on a campout after this training. He is interested in ROTC and Iowa State, and appreciated getting to know the cadets, he said. “They’re really nice and I really like them and hopefully someday I might become one of them,” 12-year-old Joshua Smith said. “I think it would be really cool that maybe one day I’ll be the one teaching to help all the other scouts” Lt.

“My son has special food and medication he takes about five times a day. Thankfully, he has now graduated to doctors appointments every couple of months, instead of multiple times a week, which is so great,” Stauffer said. Dance Marathon has been a significant part of numerous families’ lives. It has provided families with a support system like none other.

interests and I am still able to work with Caiden,” said Shannon Ure, senior in animal science who is one of the family directors. There are over 250 colleges and high schools nation wide that participate in Dance Marathon of some sort to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network. “When I found out my son was diagnosed, I felt overwhelmed and lost, but also hopeful. Overwhelmed because many of his issues will be lifelong adaptations, but also hopeful because the medical providers at [the] University of Iowa are extremely knowledgeable,” Stauffer said. Each family has a different story as to why they participate in Dance Marathon. “This is our seventh year involved in Dance Marathon. I have a little eight-year-old girl with

Down syndrome and heart issues. However, she looks forward to this event every year. After Christmas is over, she counts the days until Dance Marathon. It is very special and near and dear to her heart,” said Tessa Philips, mother who had traveled from Davenport, Iowa to attend the event with her family. Each hour there is a morale dance that signifies the start of each hour. The dance lasts about fourand-a-half minutes to get the children pumped up. “I think my absolute favorite part of this event would be the last hour of the night. We call it power hour. When the clock strikes [10 p.m.], everyone is gathered in the same area dancing for the entire last hour, it’s so great to see everyone wrapping up another great year of Dance Marathon,” said Abby Farniok, sophomore in business.

OPINION

Time for change has arrived in Saudi Arabia By Stephen.Snyder @iowastatedaily.com

ith the death of King Abdullah, Saudi Arabia finds itself in the midst of a critical transition. That change will be felt here in the United States as well because a key issue for the new ruler, King Salman, is an oil policy that will be aimed at putting pressure on oil producers here at home. Saudi Arabia has always been a somewhat problematic relationship for the United States to maintain. Think of it this way, Saudi Arabia is that kid you grew up with that would burn ants with a magnifying glass and only wanted to play the games that he came up with and didn’t care what you said, but he always had the best toys and at his birthday party, the gift bags came with full size candy bars. So you just kind of tuned out the negatives and acted like there was nothing weird about him. However, rather than having toys, Saudi Arabia has Ghawar. Christopher Helman of Forbes described the potential of the Ghawar “megafield.” “… Ghawar, in Saudi Arabia … is thought to have had more than 100 billion barrels of recoverable oil in place. At 160 miles long and 16 miles wide it confounds even the most experienced geologists. With something on the order of 60 billion produced over the past 60 years ...” Needless to say, the black gold to be found in Saudi Arabia makes for a great gift bag. As the world’s number one oil producer, Saudi Arabia has most often been able to play whatever game they want by whatever rules they want. Saudi Arabia, though it is one of the United States’ strongest allies in the region, is also a nation that enforces the ever demonized Sharia law. According to the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia’s description, “its constitution is Almighty God’s Book, The Holy Qur’an, and the Sunna (Traditions) of the Prophet.” This is a country that still performs state sanctioned beheadings, but arrests you if you dare to record it happening. When a Saudi blogger “criti-

SALMAN

cized Islam,” he was arrested and made to suffer public beatings, but now the scheduled beatings have been postponed as dissent from the nation’s Western allies has been made known. The excuses we make for our friends are rapidly losing their validity. The United States holds itself opposed to extremist religious actions in all of its various forms. However, the strict adherence to Sharia law, crackdowns on freedom of speech or speech against Islam, and the state sanctioned bigotry that prohibits the public practice of any religion other than that which the government deems acceptable are extremist sentiments. We align ourselves with Saudi Arabia, but stand against nations with similar ideals like Iran. As the U.S. continues to stand on its principles, we are consistently given less and less ground to stand on because our principles are often applied hypocritically. In the 1980s, our principle was to stop the advance of communism across the globe. This principle led to President Reagan secretly selling weapons to Iran in order to obtain funding for anti-communist forces in Nicaragua. Reagan thought that supplying Iran with arms in its war with Iraq would strengthen the relationship between Iran, Lebanon and the United States. In addition to being a treasonous undertaking, the act also failed to secure a lasting relationship with Iran. The lesson is as follows — friends and enemies to the United States often depend on time, place, and most importantly, what we stand to gain. This practice has failed again and again. Supporting a government that holds itself in opposition to the very principles of the United States bastardizes our credibility and leaves us little room to protest against similar governments that we hold as enemies. We say that we oppose groups that are not tolerant of the ideals of others, but the very laws of Saudi Arabia state that “consolidation of the national unity is a duty. The State shall forbid all activities that may lead to division, disorder and partition.” To publicly disagree with the regime is a criminal offense. What could be more intolerant? When thousands were murdered in Nigeria by Boko Haram, intolerance was a key issue. When cartoonists were killed in France by Muslim extremists, intolerance was a key issue. When peaceful protestors and dissenters are jailed and beaten in Saudi Arabia, intolerance is a key issue. And finally, the key difference between these actions? The ones taken in Saudi Arabia were legal. The idea of a high ruler,

ABDULLAH

unquestionable in nature, that bases authority and governance in the idea that Islam is the only true and acceptable path are the same ideals that gives rise to extremist sentiment across the world. While the less informed may believe that this is just the expected practice for an officially Muslim nation, nothing could be further from the truth. For details, look no further than the wisdom of Iranian-American intellectual Reza Aslan’s interview on CNN. “You’re talking about a religion of 1.5 billion people and it certainly becomes very easy to simply paint them all with a single brush by saying ‘well in Saudi Arabia, they (women) can’t drive and so therefore that’s somehow representative of Islam. It’s representative of Saudi Arabia … Saudi Arabia is one of the most, if not the most, extremist Muslim countries in the world,” Aslan said. There is no reason for the United States to allow the intolerant regime of Saudi Arabia to continue its single minded ways. Especially since Saudi Arabia may no longer have “better toys” than the United States. The United States took over the top spot on the list of oil producing nations in 2014, so there is no better time to exert the necessary pressure to bring about changes in Saudi Arabian social policy. That is not to say that I wish to make Saudi Arabia or any other nation exactly like the United States — we are greatly flawed in our own ways as well — but I do want our government to stop providing an intolerant regime the tacit approval to continue its reign of terror by not making it clear that we are categorically opposed to its stranglehold on the social sphere. The coming of a new Saudi King offers the United States an opportunity to establish a new set of expectations when it comes to the human rights of Saudi Arabian citizens. This opportunity has not been available for twenty years and King Salman has already expressed his wishes to maintain the policies of his predecessor, so if we don’t act now, we may be waiting another 20 years to have this chance again.

Megan Kalb/Iowa State Daily

Universities should not be responsible for handling sexual assault cases. That is a responsibility for the criminal justice system.

Sexual assault should always be a criminal matter In a recent column in the Washington Post, Joe Cohn, legislative and policy director for the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, discusses the differences in handling sexual assault cases involving students at university judicial offices or committees, law enforcement and the criminal justice system. When a student is sexually assaulted, he or she has the option of reporting the crime to either law enforcement officials to file criminal charges or to a university judicial office for most likely violating the student code of conduct, or both. A crime being heard by both institutions is not considered double jeopardy, according to the ISU Judicial Affairs webpage, because “If you’ve already been to court for the alleged incident, then you have fulfilled your obligation to any violation of Iowa Law. You have not, however, met your obligation for Iowa State University policy.” In his column, Cohn argues that “the solution is to assign universities and law enforcement professionals complementary, rather than overlapping, responsibilities” because this will ensure that criminal cases are handled by those who have the power to convict and punish criminals rather than faculty and administrators, who do not have the same power or experience. At Iowa State, a student will receive a letter from the Office of Judicial Affairs if a case is brought against him or her. Then, the student must schedule a meeting with a staff representative of the office, where he or she can explain what happened and declare if he or she is responsible. In a major case at Iowa State — the classification that would include sexual assault — a student can request an administrative hearing or receive the default All University Judicial hearing in the first meeting. If a student is responsible in the case, then an Agreed Resolution must be signed by the representative, Dean of Students and the responsible student, according to the webpage. Cohn explained the root of the problem lies in Title IX and universities need to respond to sexual discrimination and stop it from happening. Cohn said sexual violence is an “extreme form” of sexual discrimination. He went on to explain many universities interpreted this requirement as deciding if someone committed sexual assault and punishing the person if he

or she did it. However, Cohn outlines a plan that will help universities meet those Title IX requirements without using a judicial office, including preventative education, counseling for victims and providing academic and housing help. The argument for having both systems in place is clear. The university and the criminal justice system have different goals with hearing these cases. The first is ensuring educational opportunities and ending discrimination and the second is prosecuting a criminal. While it may seem like a good idea to have a sexual assault case go through both the university judicial system and the criminal justice system, there are many flaws to this concept. The column states that some university officials have pressures to “sweep” sexual assault cases under the rug. If not that extreme, university judicial officials at least do not have the same experience and powers in investigations like oaths and subpoenas as those in the court system. One of the most prominent failings of a university judicial system is the case of Emma Sulkowicz at Columbia University. Sulkowicz carried her dorm room mattress, where she was sexually assaulted, around campus while her attacker still remained at school. Sulkowicz’s parents wrote an open letter in the Columbia Spectator last October, which outlined Columbia’s failings while handling her case, including issues with impartiality and fairness. So is it really the best option for universities to handle cases of sexual assault? While at most universities, judicial officials probably do all they can to help sexual assault victims and remain fair during the process, are they really equipped to handle these cases? Universities cannot send a sexual assault perpetrator to jail or take them off the streets. While they can remove them from the school itself, is that really the safest option for communities? Universities should be able to focus their attentions on what they do best, providing for students. Universities can be the strongest at providing aid like counseling and academic accommodations, rather than handling the cases on their own ... that power is best left to law enforcement.

Cyclones defeat No.8 Longhorns By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Pulling off an upset win over a top-10 opponent is tough. But to then go and do it again just a few weeks later? Not very likely. Yet that’s exactly what Iowa State did Sunday, when they went to take on the No. 8 Texas Longhorns in Austin, Texas. The Cyclones were able to walk away with a 58-57 win, their second win this season over the Longhorns. The Longhorns took charge of the game right away and held the lead for the majority of the game. It wasn’t until the second half when the Cyclones were able to fight their way back into the game. The two teams traded the lead back and forth for the final nine minutes of play. Senior guard Nikki Moody hit two free throws with less than 18 seconds remaining in the game to give the Cyclones the win and the season sweep. Moody led the Cyclones with 14 points Sunday, yet only shot 3-of-11 from the field. Seanna Johnson and Brynn Williamson finished with 13 and 11 points, respectively. The Cyclones will take the court again at 7 p.m. Wednesday, when they host the Kansas Jayhawks. Kansas is 11-9 on the season with two straight wins coming against Texas Tech and West Virginia.

THIRD TIME’S ISU vs. TEXAS THE CHARM Tonight’s game

8p.m. @ Hilton Coliseum

On ESPN and the WatchESPN App

Iowa State looks for first win against a Texas team By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com Despite the warning spelled out clearly in the state motto, Iowa State is about to mess with Texas for the second time in three days. A shell-shocked ISU team (14-4, 4-2 Big 12) returns to Hilton to battle Texas (14-5, 3-3 Big 12) in what is now a pivotal game for Iowa State. The Red Raiders dealt a dizzying blow to the Cyclones, transforming their good vibrations into shock waves that shook the foundation of Iowa State’s Big 12 season by way of an unexpected upset. The defeat uprooted Iowa State’s conference lead, and with Texas coming to town, potentially changed the tone of the Cyclones’ Big 12 campaign from one of hopefulness to one of impending doom. “[That loss] definitely magnifies this [game],” said junior Georges Niang. “It just makes our uphill battle a lot more uphill.” While ISU fans must wait until 8 p.m. Monday to measure the Cyclones’ on-the-court response to their most recent bout of adversity, the team’s reaction in the immediate aftermath of its disappointing defeat to Texas Tech was an

encouraging one. The ISU players took it upon themselves to hold one another accountable and to clear the air in a players-only meeting that convened Saturday. “It was good,” Niang said. “A lot of people got to say what was on their mind and got some stuff off their chest, so I think it helped for the better.” The Cyclones’ selfreliance did not end there, however. Absent both the directive and the presence of ISU coach Fred Hoiberg, the majority of the team met at the Sukup practice facility in west Ames after the Texas Tech defeat to watch film and gear up for Texas. Senior Dustin Hogue said that the meeting stretched through the night and into the early morning hours. “Right after the game, a couple guys came in … just about everybody,” Hogue said. “A lot of guys are dedicated. A lot of guys felt that loss and nobody [wants] to feel that again.” Iowa State must draw on its steely resolve to overcome Texas’ prodigious front-line, which boasts five players listed at 6 feet 8 inches or taller. The Longhorns’ height, combined with the team’s true 10-man rotation, adds up to make Texas one of the strongest

and longest squads in Division 1. Texas is ranked No. 10 in the nation in total rebounding and is holding opponents to a shade under 35 percent shooting from the floor for the entire season — the third best mark in the country. “Obviously, they are one of the top defensive teams in the nation,” Hoiberg said. “They are great at protecting the rim. It’s going to be important for us hopefully to knock down some shots to loosen things up.” The Cyclones have struggled to score against length and concentrated defense this season. Maryland held Iowa State to 63 points on less than 30 percent shooting and Baylor snatched 19 offensive rebounds against the Cyclones on its way to a onepoint victory. Hogue said the answer to the Texas riddle is a simple one that can be summed up in two key words — physicality and desire. “Guys are going to have to hit somebody. They’re big dudes,” Hogue said. “It’s a matter of who wants it more.” Rebounding from the guard position will likely be a key element for Iowa State if it hopes to keep Texas’ immense front-line in check. Shooting guard Bryce

Senior forward Dustin Hogue dunks against Kansas on Jan. 17. The Cyclones defeated the Jayhawks 86-81. Iowa State will look for a rebounding win against Texas on Monday after the team lost to Texas Tech.

Dejean-Jones actually leads the team in rebounding at 5.9 per contest. He will be one of only a few ISU players who will possess a size advantage against Texas, which is something Iowa State must capitalize on. There is also potential for forward Jameel McKay to earn his first start of the season. His 6 foot 9 inch presence would allow Hogue to play at the small forward position, the same spot he started at most of

last season when he nearly led the Big 12 in rebounding. Hogue also said it is possible for the Cyclones to turn the Longhorns’ size advantage against them. “I think their strength is going to be their weakness. Their guys are going to have to be able to come out and guard us too,” Hogue said. “[If] we are just able to make them uncomfortable, then I think we’ll have a good time dealing with the size.”

Cyclones outmatched by Cowboys offense By Beau.Berkley @iowastatedaily.com The opportunities were there for the taking, but it wasn’t the Cyclones grabbing them. In a five point dual that came down to the final match of the day, Iowa State (6-2, 0-1 Big 12) could not outlast Big 12 rival Oklahoma State, who walked out of Hilton with a 20-15 win. The win didn’t come easy for No. 8 Oklahoma State (6-3, 2-0 Big 12), as several matches came down to the wire. Kyle Larson held a 6-1 lead in the third period against No. 10 Eddie Klimara before Klimara came back with two takedowns

and two escapes to win the match 8-7. Lost opportunity presented itself again at 174 pounds. Tanner Weatherman was down 5-4 with 15 seconds left before Kyle Crutchmer scored a takedown with five seconds left, winning the match 7-4 and not allowing Weatherman a single takedown. And even in the final match of the day, Quean Smith’s match against No. 5 Austin Marsden, the opportunity was there, but just out of Smith’s reach in a 4-3 loss. ISU wrestling coach Kevin Jackson said that the Cyclones’ lack of attacks is what it all came down to. “Great opportunity to win in your home gym

against a pretty good team and we let a couple matches slip away from us,” Jackson said. “I don’t know why we’re not attacking, but it’s up and down the lineup for the most part.” The Cyclones were able to get wins from Earl Hall, Gabe Moreno, Lelund Weatherspoon and Kyven Gadson, but Jackson said he still expected more attacks in a few of those wins. This is the eighth time in a row Iowa State has lost to Oklahoma State, but it was by far in a way the closest dual of the series since Iowa State’s last win in 2010. After the intermission, the Cowboys’ captain Alex Dieringer, ranked No. 1 at 165, won by major decision against No. 4 Mi-

chael Moreno, the second of three straight wins for Oklahoma State. Weatherspoon broke the chain at 184 pounds with a 5-1 victory, followed by a dominating performance by All-American Kyven Gadson, who scored a pin in the second period and brought the dual score to 17-15 heading into the heavyweight match. “ I saw an opportunity and I knew we needed bo-

nus points to put ourselves in a position a win ... so I seized it,” Gadson said. In the end, Smith would struggle to get off a single shot or takedown attempt in the final seconds of a 4-3 decision. Jackson said that despite Smith narrowly losing in a match he was favored against, he thought the heavyweight represented himself well. But when it came down to it, Jackson said Smith’s,

the final match of the day, resembled Larson’s match that got the dual started. “They just wanted to win a lot more than us at those weight classes and I think that’s what’s most disappointing,” Jackson said. Iowa State will take on its second of three Big 12 opponents next week, when the Cyclones take on Oklahoma at 7 p.m. Saturday in Norman, Okla.

Men’s golf prepares to begin spring season in Tucson By Mike.Randleman @iowastatedaily.com A total of 113 days separate the ISU men’s golf team’s final fall tournament from the advent of the spring season, though the Cyclones will aim to continue their success from a three-tournament fall slate that resulted in two individual medalist honors. Iowa State is ranked No.43/44 (Golfweek/Golfstat) and the team’s long layoff will come to an end at the Sewailo Golf Club on Monday in Tucson, Ariz. at the Arizona Intercollegiate, which serves as the beginning of an eight-tournament spring slate. ISU coach Andrew Tank sees the team’s first event in over three months as more of a fresh start instead of a direct continuation of the fall season that saw sophomore Nick Voke and senior Scott Fernandez net medalist honors. The team also notched two runner-up finishes, albeit against a schedule currently ranked No. 93, according to Golfweek.

Despite the fresh start approach, Tank does expect to see continuation from the progress he saw his players make in the offseason, particularly from international players who had the opportunity to compete in their native countries, which featured an alternative to the cold winter winds of Ames. “Three guys played tournaments over break: Sam [Daley], Ruben [Sondjaja] and Scott [Fernandez]. And Nick [Voke] did quite a bit of practicing when he was home in New Zealand,” Tank said. “We’re trying to kind of build off of that and make this [The Arizona Intercollegiate] a continuation and it’ll just be nice to see where we’re at.” During Winter Break, Daley and Sondjaja placed in a tie for 16th and a tie for 29th, respectively, at the Australian Master of the Amateurs on Jan. 9, an event that featured notables Guan Tianlang, Bryson Dechambeau and Corey Connors, among others. Fernandez finished in fourth place at the Copa Andalucía on Jan. 11, one of

Spain’s top amateur events. For the Cyclones to have success in Tucson, a site the team has yet to see under Tank’s tenure at Iowa State, they will rely on the aforementioned Voke, Daley, Sondjaja and Fernandez to lead the way. Those four have each led the team in a given tournament on several occasions, but success has been fleeting at the fifth starting spot, which has been in flux dating back to the beginning of the 2013-14 season. Though only four of five scores are counted per round for team scoring, the lack of production from the fifth spot places a stronger emphasis on Iowa State’s nucleus to come through each and every round. This week, sophomore Jack Carter will man the fifth starting spot after earning the nod during the team’s three-day qualifying tournament in Tempe, Ariz., the previous weekend. Carter, who owns a 77.2 scoring average with six rounds as an individual under his belt this season, beat out redshirt junior Collin Foster, who owns a 77.3

scoring average and started all three fall events. According to the Golfstat rankings, Iowa State is the fifth-highest ranked team in a field of 15 teams, none of which Iowa State has competed against this season. Perennial NCAA finals contender, California, is the field’s highest-ranked team at No. 22. The Bears are one of three top-25 teams, along with No. 24 New Mexico

and No. 25 Arizona State. The Tucson Intercollegiate will mark the fifth time out of eight that Iowa State will travel to Arizona, dating back to last season. Though the Sewailo Golf Club will be a new site for the Cyclones, playing in the Copper State provides a level of comfort for the team. “We’re definitely comfortable with the climate change and the altitude

change that sort of alters how I hit the ball,” said Ruben Sondjaja, who tied the school record for low round — 64 — at the ASU Thunderbird Invitational in Tempe, Ariz., in March 2014. “We do gain a bit of distance down there and we’re used to that by now, so there are no surprises there. We’re sort of all familiar with the golf we need down there and how to play well.”
