Lori Reesor, vice president for Student Affairs at the University of North Dakota, spoke at an open forum for the search of the new vice president for Student Affairs at Iowa State. The forum took place Monday morning in the Pioneer Room of the Memorial Union. Reesor is one of three candidates for the administrative position to replace retiring Tom Hill, senior vice president for Student Affairs. She is the first to address campus. Reesor graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in business management before earning her master’s in higher education at Iowa State. Reesor also has a doctorate in leadership and educational policy from the University of Kansas. Reesor said she is excited to be selected as one of three finalists for this position because it “feels like coming home.” “It’s a way to come home, but it’s really about the reputation of the institution,” she said. “This organization has a great reputation nationally … so to have that privilege to continue that and to take it to the next level would be fabulous.” Reesor’s plans to take Iowa State to the next level include student retention and success, diversity and inclusion and learning how to prioritize certain needs. “The goal is to have students fall in love with Iowa State, to be proud alumni of Iowa State and to want to continue to give back,” Reesor said. She plans on accomplishing these goals by creating an inclusive environment through having what she calls “difficult discussions.” Iowa State has reached a record in enrollment for the 2015-16 year, which means resources aren’t as available and abundant. Reesor said the best way to combat this issue is by building relationships with the staff and finding what is most important. “We can’t keep doing more with less. That means we have to prioritize,” she said. “That goes back to the difficult conversations

By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com The three Democratic candidates for president were able to pitch their ideas to Iowa voters watching from home one last time during a forum broadcast on CNN. Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley talked about a wide range of issues while they took questions from members of the audience that gathered at Drake University in Des Moines. Here are five takeaways from the event — just one week out from the Iowa Caucus on Feb. 1. 1) It’s still Bernie vs. Hillary on health care
The Democratic race has turned nasty during the past week as Sanders and Clinton have gone after each other over their proposals on health care. Clinton has touted a plan to continue tweaking the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, while Sanders has said he wants to get rid of the private insurance system and transition to a “Medicare-for-all,” or a single payer system. Clinton has argued that Sanders’ plan would scrap any successes made by Obamacare. Sanders has refuted the claim, saying it would only add to Obamacare by insuring more. Sanders was asked two questions on his plan at the forum: Would it raise taxes and why he would implement a new plan instead of keeping Obamacare. Sanders once again took issue with the premise, saying his plan would strengthen gains that have been made with Obam-
acare. He added that he thought Obamacare has done well and he appreciates the gains it has made — especially since he helped write it as a member of the U.S. Senate. But, “I believe as a principle, everyone should be entitled to [universal health care],” Sanders said. “Will we raise taxes? Yes we will,” Sanders said, but he argued the overall tax increase won’t matter because Americans will not be paying a private insurance premium, which will end up costing them less overall. 2) ISU student asks O’Malley question Joi Latson, ISU sophomore in global resource systems, was able to ask O’Malley a question. She asked specifically how O’Malley would implement policies to address racial inequality in the country. O’Malley pointed to his tenure as governor of Maryland. Some critics, though, have said
his tough-on-crime policies have contributed to problems in the state. “I never stopped searching for the things that work,” O’Malley said. He pointed to policies that broke up gang violence, decriminalized some drug use and reforms that “police the police” in the state — which has made use following high profile police shootings of minorities that ended up being unarmed. 3) Sanders embraces ‘socialist’ label When asked about his own embrace of the term “socialist,” Sanders had no problem defending the label and sticking up for the political ideology that has made him stand out in the Democratic race. Sanders went on to say he defines “democratic socialism” in the United States as the idea that everyone is enabled to cer-

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders touted his plan for tuition-free college, ending income inequality, as well as responding to Hillary Clinton’s criticism during a rally at Iowa State on Monday. Sanders, who is the independent senator from Vermont, spoke at Stephens Auditorium as part of the Presidential Caucus Series. With Sanders only 2 percentage points behind Clinton in the latest Bloomberg Politics and Des Moines Register poll, Clinton has increased her criticism of Sanders. Clinton recently said Sand-

ers’s health care plan would cause the country to “start over”
and destroy all of the hard work it took to get the Affordable Care
“The Affordable Care Act has done a number of many positive and important things,” Sanders said. Sanders listed those positives, which included making those with pre-existing conditions insurable, allowing people to be on their parent’s insurance untill the age of 26 and insuring an additional 17 million Americans. “We have yet a long way to go,” Sanders said. “There is so much more to be done.” Sanders supports universal health care, allowing for all U.S. citizens to be insured through the government. “I believe health care should be a right for all people,” Sanders said.
Sanders said Republicans wanted to cut off insurance to 27 million people covered by Medicaid or the Affordable Care Act in the last congressional budget plan. “What the Republicans did in their budget is essentially go to war against the elderly, the children, the sick, the poor and working people,” Sanders said. Republicans were not the only ones the Vermont senator called out. Sanders also criticized the Walton family of Wal-Mart during the rally. “The middle class of this country is subsidizing the Walton family because they are not paying their workers a living wage,”

GPSS hosts orientation for students Senate welcomes new members By Rakiah.Bonjour @iowastatedaily.com The Graduate and Professional Student Senate hosted a Graduate Orientation for graduate and professional students new to their master and doctorate programs Monday evening. Approximately 40 students were in attendance in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union. Craig Ogilvie, assistant dean to the graduate college, emphasized how important it is to be committed to new opportunities instead of getting stuck in a rut of detailed knowledge that many graduate students attain while studying in their specific programs. “We want to encourage students and find enough space to get involved in multiple, viable projects outside of the coursework and thesis they have,” Ogilvie said. “At the graduate level, we emphasize coursework, coursework, coursework. See if you can carve some time out that applies to your knowledge and … applies to real world projects.” Ogilvie introduced the Individual Development Plan, which a graduate student can use to fill out interests, skills and career goals to develop concrete plans for workshops and projects. Ogilvie said it is a tangible artifact to use as a guide while in a program. Ogilvie has tips to help
graduate and professional students survive their time at Iowa State. “Do not work more than 40 to 60 hours a week, I look for quality not quantity,” he said. “Find a mentor apart from your adviser, get to know the graduate secretary in your program, ask questions and act as a community because you’re not going through this alone.” Karin Lawton-Dunn, from the graduate college career services, discussed different tools and resources to use that will help bulk up a graduate student’s résumé. “What we try to do is connect, discover and grow,” Lawton-Dunn said. “We look at where you are going to go when you get done with your degree.” Lawton-Dunn discussed LinkedIn as a helpful tool and ISU resources such as spring career fairs, student services and the graduate college career services for students to use to assist them in getting a job after graduation. Susan Vega-Garcia, from research and instruction services of Parks Library, introduced tips every graduate student should know about the library. The Internet database, interlibrary loan, general research database and find your subject librarian are all pertinent library tools for ISU students. “Each one of you has your own librarian,” VegaGarcia said. “That person is the subject expert in your area at the library.” GPSS President Zachary Zenko offered his support as well as the senate

ISU alumnus creates new adventure at MIT Alex Tinguely continues academic career By Alia.Mortenson @iowastatedaily.com One ISU graduate enjoyed his adventure in Ames, but has since moved on to even bigger adventures on the eastern seaboard. Alex Tinguely, an alumnus with an undergraduate degree in physics, created a prestigious academic career for himself with internships at Princeton University and as a current doctoral candidate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). “Alex is very positive, infectious and very humble,” said Jordan Baumgardner, residence hall director at Martin Hall. Tinguely said he was a very self-motivated student, who started his career in physics as a high school student. Tinguely’s high school did not offer physics
classes, so Tinguely took it upon himself to take an independent study in physics and teach himself. Tinguely was vice president of the ISU Physics and Astronomy Club for two years at Iowa State, as well as a community adviser at Linden Hall with Baumgardner, who was his hall director at the time. Baumgardner said he didn’t know how Tinguely managed all of his responsibilities. “If I knew, there would be a lot more successful people in the world,” he said. Tinguely said he decided during his undergraduate degree he wanted to take on an independent study thesis. For his thesis, Tinguely did research about plasmas to learn more about them. “Not plasma as in blood, but plasma as in hot gases like those of the sun,” he said. Plasma is the fourth state of matter, according to NASA’s website. Solid is considered the first, liquid is the second and gas is the third.
“As we heat up the gas, atoms break apart into charged particles, turning the gas into plasma,” NASA’s website states. “This is not the same type of plasma that is found in your blood: same name, different stuff.” Essentially, the sun is a giant ball of plasma, and plasma can only form with a lot of heat, according to NASA. “Therefore, it is an incredibly hot environment working with plasmas that change from liquid to gas form,” Tinguely said. Tinguely spent multiple summers and some semesters taking on extra research opportunities, he said. His most recent summer was spent at Princeton, studying dusty plasmas and seeing how the contamination of the particles affect the process of creating energy of plasma. Although it has yet to happen, Tinguely and other researchers hope to soon create energy from plasmas. Tinguely is currently working on obtaining his

A format design change was one of the big items on the GPSS agenda as well as the 2016-17 budget. The Graduate and Professional Student Senate, GPSS, met and discussed Thielen Student Health Center, the 2016-17 fiscal year budget and the re-design of diplomas Monday night. Martino Harmon, associate vice president for Student Affairs, and Erin Baldwin, director of Thielen Student Health Center, were hosts to an open forum regarding the changes and future of the health center. “It’s really important for you to understand that we have a really comprehensive Student Health Center,” Harmon said. Harmon had previously served as interim director of the Student Health Center after Michelle Hendricks, previous director of the Student Health Center, retired in September 2014. Touching on the interim roles, including Mary Hensley, who took charge of the health center after Harmon and before Baldwin, Harmon said “to be able to meet the growing demand has been a real challenge.” The Keeling & Associates report, which was released in March 2015, was also mentioned, as it was a key factor in the health center management revamp. The report concentrated on a larger issue, which was the “serious, chronic and corrosive lack of leadership.” This prompted leadership, along with access, to be some of the main prob-

lems Baldwin and Harmon aimed to work on as they move forward in improving the health center. Baldwin said the reorganization of the leadership structure is 75 percent complete. The health center aims to improve the leadership by adding an assistant director of administrative services, quality improvement officer and interim associate director of clinical services. They also hope to improve access by sending out reminders of appointments, improving patient experience by introducing more surveys and improving resources, by increasing student fees beginning the 2016-17 school year. Questions introduced by the GPSS included the framework in which patients are cared for, how students are routed through the health center, how to help international students who may be confused about the system and helping students understand costs. Harmon and Baldwin also suggested the possibility of a new building that will allow for expansion.
A fiscal draft for 2017 that noted a 2.5-3 percent growth in graduate student enrollment was recognized after the forum. The projected total income for the fiscal year was $190,000, including a surplus from the previous two years. The motion to re-design the diploma was also brought to the floor during the meeting. The new diploma design will take effect beginning fall semester of next year, and meetings to go over the design will begin within the next few months. The meetings are meant to go over expectations for the diploma, looking at proposals made my marketing teams as well as approving the final outcome. The new diploma design could include anything from fonts to sizes to the way the diploma is delivered to students as they walk across the stage on graduation. Cory Kleinheksel, graduate in electrical and computer engineering, said that graduate students graduat-

SANDERS p1 Sanders said. “I say to the Walton Family, ‘Get off of welfare. Pay workers a living wage.’” Sanders said the family owns more wealth than the bottom 40 percent, and that this type of inequality is immoral. Sanders is in support of raising the minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 an hour. The government’s money is being invested in the wrong areas when it comes to the youth in United States, Sanders said. “In my view, we should be investing in education and jobs for our young people not jails and incarceration,” Sanders said. Sanders promised that by the end of his term as president the country will no longer have more people incarcerated than any other country, and it will be on its way to having the best educated population on Earth. “We have a broken criminal system,” Sanders said. One of his first ways of fixing that system would be to provide model police practices training to officers

Today’s Birthday (1/26/16)
It’s important to speak out and contribute this year, and also to get silent and lost in mindless diversion. Balance this to great success. Follow your highest ideals while having fun. Financial gain comes from following your heart. One door closes and another opens around romance after the June 10 eclipse. Care for family and yourself with love. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries - 6
(March 21 -- April 19) Proceed with caution over the next two days. You may have to make an abrupt decision to save the day. Imagine the problem already solved, and then take the natural steps to arrive there. Keep a secret.
Taurus - 6
(April 20 -- May 20) Go farther than ever over the next two days. Unexpected bills arrive. Reach for something you might normally avoid. Try using the opposite hand that you normally use. Explore culture, philosophy and history.
Gemini - 6
(May 21 -- June 20) Figure the costs in advance. The more careful you are with the details, the better you look. You agree to disagree. Express differences respectfully and admit when you’re wrong. That’s appreciated.
Cancer - 6
(June 21 -- July 22) Maintain conscious awareness of your environment. Discover romance, today and tomorrow. You’re likely to be busy, so spend cuddly time with family at every opportunity.
Leo - 7
(July 23 -- Aug. 22) Soak in the love and enjoy the moment. Things are about to get busy soon. You’re going to need all your stamina. Profit from meticulous service. Make investments later.
Virgo - 6
(Aug. 23 -- Sept. 22) Prepare for confrontation and consider all possibilities. Your routine could get disrupted, but there’s more time to relax, today and tomorrow. Handle chores. Pamper yourself.
Libra - 6
(Sept. 23 -- Oct. 22) Reconsider assumptions and judgments. The next two days are good for making changes at home. Be careful applying new skills. Temporary confusion could slow the action.
Scorpio - 6
(Oct. 23 -- Nov. 21) Today and tomorrow your concentration’s especially sharp. Study the angles. An unexpected bonus arrives from articulating the project. Go with your feelings. Don’t spend to fix the problem.
Sagittarius - 7
(Nov. 22 -- Dec. 21) Figure finances today and tomorrow. Household matters demands attention. Estimate how much money you’ll need. Engage with the budget. You can make changes soon.
Capricorn - 6
(Dec. 22 -- Jan. 19) You’re strong and getting stronger. Don’t offer to pay all the bills, though. Get lost in two days of intense activity and study. You’re extra confident. Play conservative with your finances, nonetheless.
Aquarius - 6

Reesor said difficult conversations are also needed to identify and solve issues with diversity and inclusion on campus. “We have to be able to talk about hard issues,” Reesor said. “These issues are so complex, they’re historical, they’re societal and to say we can solve this would be really, really hard but

DEMOCRATS p1 tain economic rights and economic security. “There is something wrong when the rich get richer and the poor get poorer,” Sanders said. Clinton and O’Malley have yet to launch full on attacks at Sanders for openly calling himself a socialist, but they have acknowledged that Sanders’ progressive ideology may inhibit the ability for him to get things done as president. Either way, Sanders continues to run on the label and explained to the crowd in Des Moines why they should not fear the socialist label. “We cannot continue to have a government dominated by the billionaire class and a Congress that continues to work for those at the top,” Sanders said. “I want to create a government that works for everyone, not just those at
as well as holding officers accountable if they do break the law. “We have got to end the militarization of local police departments,” Sanders said. Another important component to fighting mass incarceration is the epidemic of drug addiction in the United States, Sanders said. “What we must under-
stand is that addiction and substance abuse is a health issue, not a criminal issue,” Sanders said. Sanders said the Federal Controlled Substance Act treating marijuana the same as heroin is senseless. He added it is a racial issue as well with four times more African Americans being arrested for marijuana use than whites, even
though they smoke it at the same rate. “So what I believe and what I have introduced legislation to do is to take marijuana out of the Federal Control Substance Act,” Sanders said. Sanders urged young voters to get out and caucus Feb. 1. “Democracy is not a spectator sport,” Sanders said. “Don’t complain unless you’re prepared to fight back.” Melissa Flood, junior in electrical engineering, said she plans to caucus for Sanders. “I like the fact that he has all his donations from just the average American,” Flood said. “And I like how he wants equal opportunities for everyone.” German Barcenas, senior in mechanical engineering, is unable to caucus for Sanders because he is not an Iowa resident, but hopes to be able to vote Sanders into the White House. “I honestly do believe in his political revolution of political participation, and social and economic equality,” Barcenas said.
we have to work on this. So this means we need to have really hard conversations, which means we need to have openness and the creation of trust.” Pulling from a web seminar she had with Penny Rue, Wake Forest’s vice president of campus life, Reesor said the university must listen, feel and act to solve some of these problems. “That doesn’t need to just be in crisis mode, that needs to be all the time,” Reesor said. Reesor talked about her history and experience with dealing with campus issues involving diversity. When the University of North Dakota’s mascot was known as the Fighting Sioux two years ago, off-campus students designed “absolutely horrific T-shirts of Native Americans drinking.” Reesor said the T-shirts affected the university and the students on campus, leading to national news coverage and a campus-wide protest.
“It was easy to say, ‘Oh, well it happened off campus, there was no official university organization supporting it’ … but because they were students it was the university’s challenge,” she said. “We said, ‘You know we don’t agree with this either and we will look into it from a disciplinary aspect to see if any violations have occurred, but were going to protest with you.’ A lot of times when you protest, you need it to be somebody’s fault, and it was easy for it to be the administration’s fault, but we didn’t support this either,” Reesor continued. “It changed the tone for the president and all of us to be walking with the students and to say, ‘We are united with you.’” Reesor also hopes to get students’ parents more involved with the university because their emotional support is helpful for student success and are key tools for fundraising. Reesor’s ultimate goal
is to provide an environment that will garner student success and positive experiences. “The reason our students are here is to be academically successful, and we have to figure out what that means and how to support that,” she said. “It’s really about supporting that students are successful in the classroom and outside the classroom and that they graduate from this institution. Everything we do in Student Affairs has to support that students are very successful, and that means partnership, that means developing relationships, that means being an advocate for students and to make sure every student has a positive experience here.” Reesor said she needs help to accomplish these goals, not only from other staff members, but with a little bit of magic, too. “It’s broader than Hilton Magic, it’s about Iowa State magic,” Reesor said.
Tinguely worked with many professors while doing his research at Iowa State. Adam Kaminski, professor of physics and astronomy, had Tinguely in class and assisted him in his thesis. “Mr. Kaminski was always there when I needed him,” Tinguely said. Kaminski said he remembered Tinguely as a star student. “Alex was very moti-
vated, very smart and was always on time,” Kaminski said. Tinguely has had many opportunities to work not only in the lab but with people in the community in PAC. Tinguely said the club would host events at Iowa State, as well as in local elementary schools, and would teach kids about physics in hopes of peaking their interest. PAC also participated in campus ac-
tivities such as Veishea in the past. Tinguely said that even though he is enjoying his time at MIT, he still misses Iowa State. “I miss the feel of Iowa State, the hominess it had with the lawns, the campanile and the friendships I made there,” Tinguely said. Tinguely plans on returning to Iowa State this spring for his sister’s graduation, and he said he is looking forward to his visit.

the top.” 4) O’Malley confident even with low poll numbers Despite not moving much in polling throughout his entire campaign, O’Malley was still confident at the forum. O’Malley said he was “excited” just one week out from the caucus and that polls do not matter at this point because Iowans are actually starting to make up their minds. O’Malley also pointed to campaigning “the Iowa Caucus way,” which has included more than 120 events in the state. O’Malley will continue his campaign in Ames on Wednesday at Torrent Brewing Company, and he is planning to take part in the Presidential Caucus Series at Iowa State on caucus day. An average of polls in Iowa from Real Clear Politics shows O’Malley with just 4.4 percent of supporters in the state. Clinton has
a slight lead at 46 percent, while Sanders is at 45.6 percent. O’Malley was also asked about The Des Moines Register’s endorsement of Clinton, which also said O’Malley may be best positioned for a cabinet position in her administration. “I’m in this to win this,” O’Malley said, blowing off the idea that he is just in the race for a vice president spot or a cabinet position. In a question that drew some laughs, moderator Chris Cuomo asked O’Malley who he would tell his supporters to switch allegiances to if he does not meet the 15 percent threshold as caucus sites. “Hold strong at your caucuses,” O’Malley said. The Iowa Caucus is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday. Sanders hosted a campaign event at Iowa State on Monday. Clinton will campaign at Iowa State on Saturday morning, and O’Malley is planning two
events — one Wednesday and another on caucus day. 5) Clinton weighs in on President Obama comments Clinton was asked off the top about comments made by President Obama in an interview released Monday by POLITICO. Obama said while voters probably like the fresh face of Sanders in the race, he thinks Clinton’s experience in the race makes her qualified. He also said she has received some unfair scrutiny by Republicans in the race. Clinton said she “appreciates” the comments made by Obama, who defeated her in the 2008 race for president. “I understand you get pummeled when you get in the area [and run for president],” Clinton said. “I wouldn’t be doing it if I didn’t want to build on the progress made by President Obama. We need to build on it and go further.”

Columnist Lawson believes changing college admission standards is needed to relieve the stress of high school students who don’t have time to be included in all of the activities necessary to be viewed by employers as the perfect candidate.
Revamp college acceptance Admission reform allows students to show true potential By Angelica.Lawson @iowastatedaily.com
I
will never forget my senior year of high school and the stress that came from obsessing over how I was going to get into college. I took the ACT three times. I couln’t stop thinking about how well I needed to do and how I needed to be involved in multiple school activities while getting good grades. I wanted to be the total package to be a more attractive candidate to universities. However, I don’t recall the stress as ever being too much because it seemed like the norm for me and my friends. That is not to say that it wasn’t something that plagued my everyday life. It consumed so much of my time and I can’t even begin to relive the hours upon hours of conversations with my parents and teachers about what I needed to do to be the perfect applicant. It’s a daunting task that should have been addressed long ago. Harvard University is among the 80 universities that are banning together to change how students are approached during college admission. These schools believe students are becoming overwhelmed with the things they need to have accomplished by the time they graduate high school in order to even be considered for admission in college. In suppot of this motion a re-
port titled “Turning The Tide” has surfaced and its contents are astounding. The report is said to focus on what’s “wrong” with college admissions. The report contains three key points that include recommendations made by the contributors for universities and colleges to consider. The first point is about “community engagement and service,” which means the student must have actively taken on community challenges, contributed to the community, had experiences with diversity and developed a sense of responsibility. The second point is an ability to assess “ethical engagement and contributions to others across race, culture and class,” which means having contributed to the student’s family and others. Lastly, the student must have experience in “reducing undue achievement pressure, redefining achievement and leveling the playing field for economically diverse students.” This requires the applicants to have qualitative — not quantitative — experience with activities, awareness of the detriment that comes from overloading AP/IB courses and discourage ‘overcoaching.’ I believe these are great recommendations being suggested to help create an equal opportunity for students of all backgrounds and to eliminate résumé stacking. A big issue with the current application standard is that, for some students, it is nearly impossible to be part of all of the activities necessary to be seen as the perfect candidates, as well as hold down a part-time job and see to family responsibilities. I understand the need to address these issues as the students change, but the standards upon
which they are judged need to also change. The need to focus on more than standardized test scores is not a new tune being hummed. Yet, there is still a huge emphasis on having high SAT and ACT scores. There are more ways to show your level of intelligence that do not include tests that boast so much pressure. With this report surfacing and the plans and recommendations following it, reform is just around the corner. I hope the thought that it will now be ”easy” to get in school does not result from this. Suggesting a reform on how people are accepted does not mean people no longer have to try. People can now be judged based on the quality of their work instead of the length of their résumés, and that’s how it should be. Changing the application process is one of the recommendations that would allow students to put their best foot forward. Adding essay questions, interviews, portfolios and other forms of showcasing what the student has to offer will widen the depth of the school’s student body. I look forward to seeing how this education reform will better serve the future generations of high school graduates and how it will improve the population of college campuses. So many people have so many different roles they play in their lives that could have an impact on the number of activities they participate in, which could limit their chances. These suggested standards would give everyone who wants to receive a higher education the same level of opportunity regardless of their background.
Third party necessary in presidential race By Maddy.Beiwel @iowastatedaily.com So far, the United States has had 44 presidents, though Grover Cleveland served two terms nonconsecutively and is counted twice. During that time, there have been multiple political parties to pass through the halls of the White House: Democrats, Republicans, Democratic-Republicans, Whigs and one unaffiliated commander in chief. While the two major parties have dominated the presidency for years, their stranglehold on the election has, at least a few times, been interspersed with candidates of different beliefs who choose to reject the conventional titles. Though, I concede, these were mostly in the formative years of the United States when the parties were establishing themselves and stood for highly different principles, at odds with the ones we hold today. However, it was never a given that the president had to be a Republican or Democrat. Third parties not only existed but were also viable. This is hardly true today — the last elected candidate from any other party was elected in 1850. While there was a president — Andrew Johnson — from another party who held office dur-
ing that time, he merely stepped in after Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. The party was, for the most part, just the Republican party under a different name. This is not to say there have not been third-party candidates throughout the ages. A Democratic Socialist from Indiana named Eugene V. Debs, along with other union leaders and political activists, established the Socialist Party of America in 1904. They bonded together and rallied for higher minimum wage, maximum hours, women’s suffrage, etc. While Debs ran for president in 1912 and gained 901,200 votes, he was of course not the victor. He was again unable to secure the presidency when he ran in 1920, this time from prison. Debs did, however, secure the largest amount of votes for president ever received by a Democratic Socialist during his second run. While it can be argued that Debs had no real chance to win, winning was never really his end goal. He simply wanted to call attention to issues that he believed deserved attention from the American people. Because of Debs and the Socialist Party, major child labor was abolished, minimum wage increase and social secu-

rity have gained more popularity, along with a slew of other improvements. That is what lies at the heart of why third-party candidates are necessary and beneficial pieces of the American political system. They seek to keep the other candidates honest and open about their practices while providing a dissenting voice to the masses. They allow for more open thought and discussion by rejecting the premise that you either think one way or the other. An issue does not always have only two sides, and one
of the greatest lies of those in power is that there are limited ways to look at things and a limited number of solutions. If you are forced to consider only those two sides of an issue, then you are allowing yourself to look through the tiny lens of an outdated system. I’m not saying you should completely disregard the main political parties. I’m just saying there are other viewpoints out there, on both the right and the left, that need to be considered. There have been multiple third-party candidates in recent years, including Ron Paul, who secured 0.03 percent of the vote under the Libertarian Party; Ralph Nader, a Green Party candidate in 2000 who won 2.74 percent of the popular vote; and Ross Perot, who garnered 18.6 percent. Third-party candidates can clearly have their voices heard. Bernie Sanders, a Democratic Socialist running for president in the 2016 election, has gained a large following, particularly by the millennial population, despite his uncommon political label. This could mean that the American people feel more ready to veer away from the traditional system and embrace a new one, where more ideas and pools of thought are considered without bending to the way tradition dictates politics must be done.
Students in the Iowa State chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, not only triumphed Friday when they won their court case against Iowa State in the use of Cy on the organization’s T-shirts, but they also represented the importance of upholding the right of free speech among university students. NORML ISU, a student organization founded in spring 2012 that supports the legalization of marijuana, initially ran into roadblocks in November 2012 when a T-shirt design featured Cy and a marijuana leaf, a design originally approved by the university, was featured in an article in The Des Moines Register. The university received negative feedback and responded by telling the organization it could no longer produce the shirts. On Feb. 12, 2013, the university approved a different T-shirt design that read “NORML ISU” across the front and “We are NORML” across the back. The university approved another design April 15, 2013, which read “NORML ISU Student Chapter” on the front. The Trademark Licensing Office rejected a design in June 2013 that stated “NORML ISU Supports Marijuana Legalization” in all capital letters across the front with a picture of a cannabis leaf. On the back, the design read “National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws” with a smaller cannabis leaf. According to the Trademark Licensing Office website, art for items or clothing ordered by student organizations should: “Include the group name as registered with Campus Organizations and language to indicate the group is a club or student chapter if not evident from the name...represent the university in a positive manner.” NORML ISU’s use of Cy followed these guidelines. We recognize the university could see Cy leaning on the name “NORML ISU” on the shirt as an issue of “representing the university in a positive manner,” but putting Cy on a shirt doesn’t mean the university as a whole supports legalizing marijuana. According to the Guidelines for University Trademark Use by Student and Campus Organizations, “the University’s name and Marks may not be used in a manner which falsely portrays the University’s mission, services, initiatives and positions.” The same section of this portion of the guidelines also states: “The University’s name and marks may not be used to imply support or endorsement of a particular position on matters of public concern, unless the University or one of its units has indeed adopted a position and authorized the use.” The student chapter of NORML was established at Iowa State as an official student organization. The students in that organization should be able to have the same shot at using the trademark as any other student organization on campus. “Today’s U.S. District Court opinion in the NORML case is disappointing. Iowa State University will consult with the Iowa Attorney General’s Office to determine if the order will be appealed,” University Relations Executive Director John McCarroll said in an email statement Friday afternoon. Josh Montgomery, an ISU alumnus who founded NORML ISU in 2012, said he was disappointed in the university’s statement on the verdict. “It’s unfortunate that [McCarroll] would still stand in the face of students’ right to advocate for what they believe in, especially if it is in a civilized manner and within students’ rights for free speech,” Montgomery said. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

McKay’s ISU future uncertain after win Forward leaves game because of knee injury By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com
Max Goldberg/Iowa State Daily
ISU forward Jammel McKay dunks the ball against Kansas on Monday night at Hilton Coliseum. McKay had to leave the game because of a knee injury.
Monday’s 85-72 win against No. 4 Kansas at Hilton Coliseum showcased a lot of good for the ISU men’s basketball team. It marked the Cyclones’ fourth win in a row, and their second against an AP topfive team in the past seven days. And as an added bonus, Iowa State is now the only team in the Big 12 to go 4-1 against a Bill Self-led Kansas team during a fivegame stretch. But something much more daunting hides beneath the 13-point victory. Against Oklahoma last Monday, forward Jameel McKay left briefly because of a leg injury — something later determined to be inflammation. He returned shortly after against the Sooners and seemed to be fine. He was fine against TCU on Saturday, racking up eight points and 10 rebounds in his 32 minutes on the court. But against the Jayhawks on Monday, McKay was forced to the sidelines. His knee, once again, caused him trouble. “It’s just a little irrita-
tion,” McKay said after the game. “It is what it is. It’s something I have to get over.” McKay went out with less than five minutes to go in the game and was seen walking gingerly to the locker room. He returned to the bench shortly after but would not make it back. While he was out, ESPN’s Holly Rowe reported that McKay was once again dealing with inflammation in his knee. However, after the game, ISU coach Steve Prohm said he didn’t know the status of McKay. “I’m not sure,” Prohm said. “I don’t really know until I talk to [the medical staff].” Prohm said he hoped to have a better idea of what the injury is and how to move forward with it Tuesday. McKay, though, went into more detail on the injury itself. “It’s not really a pain, it’s just like an irritation,” McKay said. “It’s something that just makes my knee buckle. I could just tell when I’m playing.” McKay seemed uncertain on his future after the game, too. “I have to start thinking of myself personally, so I don’t know how far — how much more I’ve got in me,” McKay said. “It’s a struggle right now. My knee ain’t right.
“I’m going to keep going. We’ll just see how far it goes.” The Cyclones will travel to College Station, Texas, on Saturday to take on Texas A&M in the Big 12/SEC Challenge. McKay said he was unsure of his status in that game, telling reporters he couldn’t definitively say he would be playing. But whether he hits the hardwood on Saturday or not, McKay said he is confident that the rest of the team could get the job done. “It’s no doubt that this is a good team, with or without me,” McKay said. “I expected them to win. They even took the lead once I got out. So good for them. Hopefully, they’ll keep the momentum up.”

ISU Table Tennis Club experiences growth By Jack.MacDonald @iowastatedaily.com Thanks to a 10th grade teacher at Ankeny High School, Sierra Lucht and Brandon Beecham have been able to transform the ISU Table Tennis Club into something bigger than anyone could have hoped for. The two Ankeny natives formed their strong bond with the sport by taking from Warren Lofgren, their 10th grade teacher. He influenced the two to start a club at Ankeny, but because of the growing population, Ankeny High School was split into two separate schools. With Lucht at Ankeny Centennial and Beecham at Ankeny, the two continued to spread their love of the game through both schools. But with college approaching, both were unsure of their future with the sport. “I stumbled upon the table tennis club at Iowa State and at the first meet-
ing there were three other people,” Beecham said. “They made me president, and then I got [Lucht] involved too.” Since the two sophomores have taken over as co-presidents, the club has had a dramatic rise in the number of members and brought back the competitive team after being absent for nearly seven years. The club has about 16 active members who attend the three weekly meetings at State Gym. Among those members, a select few play on the competitive team. The competitive team is a member of the National Collegiate Table Tennis Association and resides in the Minnesota division. The Minnesota division is one of 30 divisions in the NCTTA. “We mainly play against other Iowa and Midwest schools,” Lucht said. “Being new to the competitive side of table tennis, our team has a good shot at qualifying some people for nationals.”

To qualify for nationals, the club must place in the top two of any division. There is the coed team division, women’s division, singles and doubles. Jikang Qu sports a perfect record with five wins and is arguably the Minnesota division’s best singles player. Qu is at first singles, while Rui Zou isn’t far behind at second singles. Zou, like most other members, came from a foreign country. Zou started playing in China, her native country, at a young age and even picked up a coach to help her climb the ranks. “Everyone plays in China,” Zou said. “That’s why the first thing I did when I arrived here was join the table tennis club.” Zou, like many other members, plays table tennis because it was a part of her culture back in her native country and wants to grow the sport at Iowa State. Currently, the sole space the club receives

the club, the extra space is needed. “Our main goal right now is to receive more tables and practice space,”
Lucht said. “Our members want a place to play on the west side of campus and right now we can’t provide them with that.”

Des Moines mall adds Anthropologie By Molly.Hawks @iowastatedaily.com Jordan Creek Mall has welcomed a new addition to its shopping center: Anthropologie. Anthropologie is a higher end women’s apparel shop that is widely popular, not just for the clothing, but for its window and store displays. Anthropologie car ries a wide range of merchandise beyond clothing. Its store includes unique home decor, kitchen supplies, bedding and of course clothing. It has a selection of trend casual, semiformal and workout wear. Its merchandise includes beautiful colors and one-of-a-kind intricate patterns.

erything is hand-painted, hand-stamped and handcrafted. Anthropologie employs artists just to craft the abundance of intricate
decor. The back wall of the store included a watercolor backdrop lined with handcrafted, old-fashioned paint brushes.
Every detail was considered in the creation of this store. Paint cans were splattered with paint to perfectly match the colors of surrounding merchan-
dise in the store. The store was arranged so each corner had a different theme and all of the merchandise matched the art.
The opening of Anthropologie is a game changer for Iowa. It marks the first URBN Inc. store to come to Iowa and is hopefully here to stay. The closest URBN stores are located in Kansas City, and for most Iowans, it is a treat to shop at these stores during a weekend getaway. Iowans will no longer have to keep a wish list for their next trip out of town; they can simply head to Jordan Creek. Anthropologie is located on the first floor where Victoria’s Secret used to be. No worries though, Victoria’s Secret has not left the mall. It simply moved to a new and bigger location. If you’re not in the mood to shop, go to Anthropologie to get inspired. The art and fun merchandise in the store is sure to spark some inspiration or maybe sway you into the mood for some shopping splurges.

Ariana Grande’s partnership with MAC has been released online and in stores.

Singer partners with MAC By Selina.Hilts @iowastatedaily.com With the start of the new year, Ariana Grande’s awaited partnership with MAC has been released online and in stores. Her statement pieces consist of a statement dark purple matte lipstick as well as a light pink lipgloss called Lipglass. The different shades of the collection offer something for a more subtle look as well as a more outgoing and daring look. The light pink Lipglass can be perfectly used as a topcoat or for a simple shimmery appearance by itself on a more natural day. The lipstick on the other hand is bold and should be paired with a lip liner for it to appear more flawless on the lips. Another way to wear these
two lip products is layered together. Applying the Lipglass over the deep purple lipstick will add shimmer to the bold color. This look is quite a change compared to Grande’s usual style consisting of a half-up ponytail and cat eye. With the release of her single “Focus,” she has become more daring with her look, which is evident in her platinum blonde wig in the music video. The MAC Viva Glam lines have also been previously represented by Miley Cyrus with bright orange and red tints as well as Nicki Minaj’s lavender and bright pink shades. These past partnerships triggered the change of the products being universally flattering to stepping outside of the average customer’s comfort zone. Another aspect of this new cosmetics line is that
all of the proceeds from Grande’s products will benefit the MAC charity. The charitable organization created by MAC raises funds for people living with HIV. It serves people of all ages, sexes and races who are affected. Because of this alliance, Grande now has the opportunity to be a spokeswoman for such an amazing cause through her partnership and promote her co-created products. Since the products are now available online and in stores, the next planned cosmetics haul should consist of MAC’s new amazing products, even if it simply benefits the MAC AIDS fund. Whether the intention is to create a bolder everyday look or keep it simple with the lipgloss, this new collaboration has enabled both.
“The Fashionable Side of STEM” exhibition was inaugurated at the Textiles and Clothing Museum at Mary Alice Gallery in 1015 Morrill Hall at 3:30 p.m. Thursday. The exhibition features various examples from the Textiles and Clothing Museum Collection and contributions from apparel, merchandising and design program faculty and graduate students. The event began with a welcoming and short introductions by co-curators Sara Marcketti, associate director of apparel, events and hospitality management, and Janet Fitzpatrick, senior lecturer in apparel, events and hospitality management. This fashion exhibition demonstrates how Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) are used in the creation of dress; there are examples from 1890 and other pieces from the 21st century.

nology has been part of the production of this apparel. As technology ad vances, fashion is becoming more elaborate and interesting, and wearable technology is becoming popular in the fashion industry. Wearable technology is not only used on accessories but also in fabrics that upgrade the performance in outerwear or sportswear. Science has always played a part in the creation of textiles. As either a natural fiber or synthetic fiber, science will always be used to create fabrics used in apparel.
Mathematics is integral in the apparel industry, as the Golden Ratio has been known as the universal constant of design. Engineering is known as the work of designing and creating structures by using scientific methods. Pattern making and the creation of new structures for fitting in the apparel industry is indispensable. Programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator and Opti-Tex are used to create patterns, examine fit and create samples. The exhibition will be open from Jan. 21 through March 11 at The Textiles and Clothing Museum.

ISU storms past Kansas By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com Some ISU fans braved the winter weather for an entire week ahead of ESPN’s Big Monday matchup between Iowa State and Kansas on Monday night. But Cyclone fans would have to wait just a little longer in Iowa State’s 85-72 victory to see what they came for. No. 4 Kansas (16-4, 5-3 Big 12) took control of the game in the first half, while No. 14 Iowa State (16-3, 5-3 Big 12) struggled on both sides of the ball, giving the Jayhawks a seven-point halftime lead and ISU fans plenty of frustration. The Cyclones struggled to make a run at the the Jayhawks, as they crept back into the game and pulled within two points with 15 minutes to go. The run Iowa State was waiting for didn’t arrive until the nine-minute mark, but it was well worth it. The Cyclones stormed past the
Jayhawks with an 11-0 run, taking their first lead of the game, and never looked back. “Under the 16 (minute media) timeout, they dominated the second half,” said Kansas coach Bill Self. Iowa State outscored Kansas, 49-29, in the final frame and shot 64.3 percent from the field in the half to blow past a top-five team for the second consecutive Monday. In the post-game press conference, ISU players couldn’t seem to agree on who provided the spark for the Cyclones’ huge run. “We go how he goes,” said foward Georges Niang of guard Monté Morris, who scored 21 points and dished out nine assists. “That guy has carried us this whole season.” Self agreed with Niang’s assessment, saying Morris “dominated.” Morris, however, was quick to give credit right back to Niang, who scored 19 points, 15 of which came in the second half after he
struggled in the first. “We needed to get our best player going, which is Georges,” Morris said. “He’s our best offensive player and when he’s got it going, we’re hard to guard.” Niang and Morris are pivotal pieces for an ISU team that has now beaten three top-five teams, according to this week’s AP poll: No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 3 Iowa and No. 4 Kansas. But they had plenty of help Monday night. “Huge defensive plays,” Niang said of forward Abdel Nader, who Niang called the team’s spark. “That’s Abdel’s MO. He just wants to be the guy to guard the other team’s best guy and really get out there and disrupt things.” Nader poured in 17 points, including several huge buckets down the stretch for Iowa State in addition to his stout defensive effort. Matt Thomas hit three 3-pointers that killed Kansas’ momentum. Self also praised for-

way, huh?” Prohm joked after the game. In all seriousness, Prohm said that’s just the nature of the Big 12 this year. There have already been highs and lows, and his team is only halfway through the conference slate. “Can’t get too high and too low,” Prohm said. “We’re only eight games into the conference and now we got to go play a topfive team in the country on Saturday night.” That top-five team is No. 5 Texas A&M, which Iowa State will play in the annual Big 12/SEC chal-
lenge. Niang said the Big 12’s brutal schedule has only made Iowa State a stronger team, and he echoed Prohm’s warning about the season still having a long way to go. Hardly 15 minutes after beating a fierce conference rival and the No. 4 team in the country, the Cyclones were already looking ahead to the next game. “That’s the Big 12,” Niang said. “We’ve had a pretty good stretch of good teams down the line, and it doesn’t get any easier with this SEC challenge, so we’re going to have to prep for that.”

ward Deonte Burton for coming off the bench and making it difficult for his team. Despite all the individual praise, it was actually the collective defensive effort in the second half that sealed the deal for the Cyclones. “We weren’t good enough defensively to win the game in the first half, and they changed their mindset in the second half,” Prohm said. Iowa State is on a roll now, winning its fourth straight game and its second against a top-five team in that time span. “I could do this all year,” Prohm said of ESPN’s Big Monday games. The string of wins is even more impressive given Iowa State’s rough 1-3 start to Big 12 play. Iowa State has rebounded from that start and has put itself in good position by beating Oklahoma and Kansas — two prime Big 12 title contenders. “We’ve come along
