Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity member, chapter suspended By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com A member of the ISU chapter of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity has been suspended after being named in a sexual assault case, according to the fraternity’s national headquarters statement. The ISU chapter suspended the member and the national headquarters is investigating the situation. “Suspended members have their membership privileges re-
moved temporarily for a period of time until the suspension has been lifted,” according to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon suspension form. The chapter was placed on an interim suspension Jan. 21, Annette Hacker, university news service director, said via email. The chapter had an interim suspension hearing with Dean of Students Pamela Anthony on Jan. 23, and on Thursday, the chapter was notified that the interim suspension is being upheld pending outcome of the judicial case, she said in
the email. The chapter’s president, Christian Dahl, could not give comment because of fraternity protocol and directed the Daily to Brandon Weghorst with the national headquarters, who shared a prepared statement. “Any form of assault or sexual misconduct by anyone is unacceptable, and we will not tolerate actions that are inconsistent with our values,” the statement said. “The individual behavior of any member that deviates from our beliefs does not and should not reflect on
other members, other chapters or other fraternity men. “We continue to work with our chapter at Iowa State University and its strong alumni advisory board to make sure that brothers meet or exceed our guidelines set forth at the national level.” There are different levels of suspension, Weghorst said. In the case of a sexual assault, a chapter may suspend a member because of the individual’s action, pending what occurs in the legal system, he said. “Sexual assault is an impor-

ADDRESSING PROFESSORS DOCTOR PROFESSOR FORMAL VS. INFORMAL
“MR.” DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “MS” AND “MRS.”
Courtesy of Thinkstock Instructors may ask students to refer to them by their professional titles. One option to find out how to address an instructor is by simply asking them.
Learning title of instructor shows respect By Matthew.Rezab @iowastatedaily.com
E
xcuse me, sir... I mean ma’am ... err?... Dr.?... Professor?... Jim?... Oh Captain my Cap-
tain? It can sometimes be confusing to know exactly how to address an instructor, especially during the first few weeks of class. While most instructors will indicate how they prefer to be known in the first class, there are times when the proper etiquette can be mired in ambiguity. There may be a difference depending on the setting. It might be acceptable to address an instructor by their first name while at a picnic in
the park, but not when asking a question during lecture. Brenda Lohman, who has a Ph.D. and is also an associate professor in human development and family studies, said she prefers to be addressed as Dr. Lohman in professional situations. However, she does give permission to some students to address her as Brenda during one-on-one mentoring situations. But not all students take her up on her offer. “Some students, for whatever the reason, don’t feel comfortable calling professors by their first name,” Lohman said. “And that’s okay.” The academic hierarchy at colleges and universities can be tough to navigate.
From endowed, distinguished and/or university professors down to adjunct or teaching assistants, the system can resemble military ranks to students unfamiliar with the distinctions. Lohman said confusion can occur even in real world situations. She described a colleague who used her title of doctor when purchasing a plane ticket. A medical emergency occurred during the flight, prompting airline staff to ask for her assistance. The problem was that she was not a medical doctor (M.D.), but rather a Ph.D. She has since ceased using her title when purchasing airline tickets. At some American high schools and foreign colleges and universities, any teacher
can or may expect to be addressed as “professor.” Most American universities use the term “professor” to describe a person of the highest academic rank. Kevin D. Hill, senior lecturer and adviser in the history department, who also holds a Ph.D., said addressing instructors in a professional manner regardless of position is important to maintain a student-teacher relationship and to prepare for the reality of using formal names in the professional world. “It makes the relationship more clear,” Hill said. “Sometimes, teachers have to deliver bad news and if

tant topic to us,” Weghorst said. “We believe in the legal system’s process of someone is innocent until proven guilty. It’s better to suspend the member and wait to see the outcome of what may happen as the situation pans.” Sigma Alpha Epsilon also has members participating in It’s on Us, the national initiative to fight sexual assault on campuses, according to the statement. The suspensions come after a sexual assault was reported to

ISU being investigated for sexual assault handlings By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State University is one of 90 colleges being investigated by the U.S. Department of Education on whether the university investigates sexual assaults appropriately. ISU President Steven Leath received a letter from the Department of Educations’ Office for Civil Rights on Oct. 15, 2014 after an ISU student filed a complaint with the OCR saying she felt discriminated against during her sexual assault case involving a male student. According to the letter, “the complaint raises whether the University fails to promptly and equitably respond to complaints, reports and/or incidents of sexual violence of which it had notice.” The complaint argues that failure to properly investigate sexual assaults creates “a sexually hostile environment” for students at Iowa State. The sexual assault in question occurred at the end of March 2014, according to the criminal complaint filed with ISU Police Department. According to the complaint, Patrick Whetstone, a 19-yearold freshman at Iowa State at the time the assault occured, was charged with third-degree sexual abuse. The criminal complaint stated that Whetstone assaulted a 19-year-old female ISU student in Frederiksen Court by penetrating her vagina with his finger and penis and forcing her to give him oral sex, all against her will. Whetstone and the victim were both consuming alcohol at a party in an apartment on campus the night before and the

April brings same-sex marriage concerns to US Supreme Court By Kelly.Schiro @iowastatedaily.com Same-sex couples will get their day in the Supreme Court in April. On Jan. 23, the court announced it would hear cases from Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee combined into one, according USA Today. “The court has been cautious in this area,” said Dirk Deam, senior lecturer in political science. “I think they will jump and issue a very dramatic change in the law.” Deam has been teaching courses in constitutional law for many years. According to the Huffington Post, justices likely agreed to hear the case because the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit upheld bans on same-sex marriage after other appellate courts had found similar bans unconstitutional. The court will decide whether same-sex couples have the right to marry and if they have
the right to have out-of-state marriages recognized. Deam said he thinks the court will decide if the bans against same-sex marriage violate the equal protection clause because marriage is a fundamental right. Deam also said the Supreme Court could decide to classify sexual preference as a suspect class, potentially affecting other laws that discriminate against sexual preference. “Some of the characteristics of homosexuality fit with the characteristics of traditional suspect classes,” Deam said. A suspect class has been shown to have endured a historical pattern of discrimination against the people in the group and the characteristics of the class can’t be changed ... they’re born with them. “It would go one of those two ways,” Deam said. “I suspect it will be the fundamental right because it would be the easier jump to make.” President of the LGBT Ally
Richard Martinez/Iowa State Daily
As of Jan. 5, 2015, a vast majority of the United States has passed or is in the progress of discussing legislation for the legalization of same-sex marriages. Missouri, however, only recognizes same-sex licenses in the city of St. Louis.
Alliance Adam Guenther said he is waiting for the plaintiff’s brief for the Supreme Court, which is due Feb. 27. During the brief, the plaintiff will argue that state bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional. “With what I know now about the court’s composition, I imagine it’s going to be really split, it’s going to be a 5-4 decision,” Guenther said. Both Deam and Guenther agree that justice Anthony Kennedy will be a deciding factor in
the court’s ruling. Deam said that Anthony Kennedy has written all major decisions relating to homosexuality since he’s been on the court. “Usually, Kennedy is the swing,” Guenther said. “He’s kind of a moderate.” As of today, same-sex marriage is legal in 36 different states. Oral arguments are expected to be heard by the court late April, with a final ruling sometime in June.

Get to know the Dean of Veterinary Medicine Sam Greene/Iowa State Daily
Lisa K. Nolan is the dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State. Following graduation at the University of Georgia, she took a job in Fargo, N.D. Nolan eventually found her way to Iowa State in 2003, accepting a position at the College of Veterinary Medicine.
By Erika.Clyma @iowastatedaily.com
B
undling up for the cold weather is something we are all getting used to again. But for Lisa K. Nolan, dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine, growing up in the South meant rarely ‘bundling up.’ “Every chance I get, I head to warm water somewhere and get in it,” Nolan said. Nolan escapes Iowa’s cold weather to be near the ocean at her vacation home in the Florida Keys. Nolan most recently vacationed at her beach home over Thanksgiving Break. “I have been going
down there for a long time,” Nolan said. “It is a special place — the only living reef in North America. And it was always the animal part a lot of times that was fascinating to me, whether it was snorkeling or diving.” Nolan attended the University of Georgia in Athens, Ga., where she obtained her doctorate of veterinary medicine in 1988. Nolan continued her education at the University of Georgia, where she gained a master of science degree in medical microbiology in 1989, and then her Ph.D. in medical microbiology in 1992. Following graduation, Nolan initially found it difficult to find a job. “I was so alarmed,” Nolan said. “I sent so many
C.V.’s [curriculum vitae] out.” Nolan was eventually offered an advising position at North Dakota State University in Fargo, N.D. “It was funny because neither my major professor nor I knew where Fargo was,” Nolan said. “We had to look it up. We were sitting in front of a map looking and my major professor says, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s in Canada.’” Nolan accepted the position, but being from the South, she was not prepared for the cold winter weather. “I had no clothes, no boots, no coat, no gloves and seriously no idea about how to drive,” Nolan said. “It was just pitiful, but such a great adventure.”
Nolan said that the people in Fargo were very polite and offered a lot of guidance about surviving the cold winters. While at North Dakota State, Nolan initially served as a pre-veterinary adviser, working with nearly 50 advisees each semester. She later became an instructor, teaching five courses in microbiology and infectious diseases. Along with a multidisciplinary group, Nolan helped develop a food safety program at North Dakota State that included curricula for a major, minor and a Ph.D. “We did great things, like set up a center,” Nolan said. “I was really proud of what we accomplished
there.” In 2003, Nolan accepted a position at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State. When she first arrived, Nolan served as the department chair for the Department of Veterinary Microbiology and Preventive Medicine. Catherine Logue, professor in veterinary microbiology and preventive medicine, had also worked with Nolan at North Dakota State. Logue said that Nolan is a caring person beyond just the veterinary medicine. “She is extremely personable, very easy to talk to and is always a good listener,” Logue said. “She brings a lot of passion to anything she does [like her leadership and work] and cares deeply for her faculty, staff, students and those around her.” Logue said that because of Nolan’s passion, she has been able to hold several roles within the College of Veterinary Medicine. Logue said that Nolan brings a lot to the table because of her past experiences and dedication to research. Nolan said that she particularly enjoys the wide variety of research available to her. “Research is like going in the lab, and see you don’t remember when people first walked on the moon,
Association holds events for retired ISU workers By Tong.Lin @iowastatedaily.com
Ryan Young/Iowa State Daily
More information about the ISU Retirees Association can be found in its office at the Alumni Center. All university faculty and staff are eligible for admission to the association upon retirement.
Retiring from Iowa State does not mean leaving the community. The ISU Retirees Association became a program of the ISU Alumni Association in 2006 and the office is located at the ISU Alumni Center. The association began as the Office of Retirement Services in September 1975 and Dr. Helen LeBaron Hilton was appointed as retirement counselor. In 1982, Iowa State University Retirees Committee became an official committee. The program receives annual financial support from the university. Everybody who works at and retires from Iowa State is automatically a member of the association. There are no fees. “Spouses are encouraged to join the activities,” said Jerilyn Logue, the ISU Retirees program manager. “If the retiree is single, they are invited to bring a friend. We have six programs each year from September to April, except for November
and December.” The association holds two social events each year. A fall lunch is held in November and a spring picnic is held in May. There is a minimal fee per person for these events and prices vary depending on the venue. “At this year’s spring picnic, there will be a magician-comedian,” Logue said. “We have different activities each year. In 2013, we started the ‘Rock on in Retirement Symposium’ and last November was our second one. The symposium is a half-day event and free to the public.” Logue said she enjoys her work with the ISU Retirees Association. “We did a group trivia for a holiday lunch a couple of years ago and a retiree came up after the activity and told me that she was glad that she had decided to come. That’s what I want to hear from people — that they had a great time.” Logue receives a list every month of new retirees. The current chair of the ISU Retirees Association will send them a letter to introduce the programs the association offers. “We have just started
but it’s like that,” Nolan said. “They didn’t know what [it was] going to be like. They could’ve stepped off into a pit of dust and never be seen again. You never know what you are going to find. That is how I feel every time I step into the lab.” Nolan also said that she enjoyed joining the group of bacteriologists at the College of Veterinary Medicine. Nolan said that the people she works with are “exceptionally neat, challenging and supportive.” “Research is highly valued and they have collected such a strong cohort of people.” Nolan said. “I got to interact with those people and that just changed everything for me. We were really able to kick our research capacity up a lot. That was and has been a blast.” Aside from all of her research, Nolan also enjoys bike riding and bird watching. Nolan tries to find every opportunity she can to ride her bike. “She is a mad biker,” Logue said. “One of the funniest memories was attending a professional meeting in Hawaii and she wanted to go biking on the day off we had. Needless to say, we biked down a mountain. It was a blast.” In 2009, Nolan became the associate dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine and then in 2011, Nolan was appointed juelsgaard dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine. Nolan said that she has and continues to enjoy her entire experience serving as the dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine. Logue said she has learned a lot from Nolan during the 15 years she has worked with her, but the most valuable thing Nolan ever taught Logue was never stop doing what you love. “Never give up on your passion,” Logue said. “Follow what drives you and most of all to have adventures. I have always followed this premise and have said the same thing to my graduate students — there is always an adventure waiting and it’s something to embrace.”
something new this fall,” Logue said. “We are offering all of the six programs online using Adobe Connect Pro, so that folks who live in Washington or Florida can watch live or request a link to a recording. We want all ISU retirees to be able to participate”. Another big event that the association arranges is the Memorial Day Ceremony. The last ceremony was coordinated on Memorial Day to remember the lives of retired employees and their spouses who have died. “For many of us who are long term employees, this association is our extended family,” said Michael Meetz, chairman of the ISU Retirees Association. “A number of us would like to keep those connections with Iowa State University.” Clyde K. Walter, the vice-chairman of the ISU Retirees Association, said the association is focused on issue important to retirees. “Retirees tend to be an older group of people,” Walter said. “They are concerned about health and health benefits. Things like health insurance and retirement saving plans. They are also concerned about independence and some social contact with the university.” Walter who chairs the program committee said, “The program is generally a speaker. The ones that I like are [saying] something about the university. We had a program about the of Iowa State Fair two weeks ago, that interested me and I go every year.” The ISU Retirees Association receives sponsorship support from Green Hill Retirement Community Life Choices at Bethany and Northcrest Retirement Community. The next program is other events and information about the ISU Retirees Association can be found at www.isualum.org/retirees.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your fame travels far and wide. Continue to work within the system respectfully. A confrontation could change things. Proceed with caution. More study is required. Don’t make assumptions.
The ISU community has the opportunity to provide input on the Board of Regents February meeting agenda, which includes a proposal to renovate the Forker building, a discussion on distance learning, a proposal on a change in the Regents Admission Index and an update on the efficiency review. The regents open forum is from noon to 1 p.m. on Thursday in the Oak Room of the Memorial Union, where anyone from the university community can comment on the regents agenda. The board will meet Wednesday and Thursday at the University of Northern Iowa Maucker Union in Cedar Falls. Those wishing to contribute at the open forum will be required to sign in and record a video message for the board members to view prior to the full board meeting. A few of the main topics on the agenda include: Forker renovation Iowa State is requesting permission to plan a 6,250-net-square-foot
renovation on the ground floor of the Forker Building for the College of Human Sciences Department of Kinesiology. A May 2012 university study found that the Department of Kinesiology has grown 81 percent since 2007, and the growth has created a shortage of functional and office space. The changes would add faculty offices, restrooms, replace the exterior window units and provide a fully automatic fire sprinkler system throughout the original 1940 portion of the building, according to the Board of Regents agenda item. The estimated project cost is $5 million and would be funded by the university. Regents Admissions Index As part of the comprehensive efficiency review of the three public Iowa universities, Deloitte, the consulting firm performing the study, suggested the universities create a new admissions index so that high schools without class rankings have equal index scores. The new method would standardize the way the universities calculate
the Regents Admission Index, commonly referred to as RAI. The RAI is calculated by adding an applicant’s ACT score, high school GPA, number of high school courses completed in each core subject and the high school class rank. High schools in Iowa are moving away from the class rank technique, said Phil Caffrey, Iowa State’s associate director of admissions, in a previous interview about the subject. Iowa State already uses a mathematical formula to estimate a class rank for applicants who attend a high school that doesn’t rank. The Admissions Study Team recommended the following alternative calculation of the RAI, which will only be used by Iowa high schools that do not provide a high school class rank: RAI = ACT composite x 3 + High School GPA x 30 + High School Core Courses x 5. If the regents approve the proposal, the board office will inform Iowa high schools that do not provide class rankings of the change in the alternative calculation of the RAI. The method would begin in fall
2016. Distance education The board will receive the education and student affairs committee report on distance education. Iowa State has found an increased need in online learning opportunities for the student body. “Online enrollments are becoming more popular for both on-campus and distance-based students,” according to the agenda item. “Online components in traditional courses are becoming more common and may be a key to stimulating more acceptance of distance-based educational models and collaboration between the Regent universities, as well as with community.” The number of ISU students taking distance education classes has increased from 6,324 in 2011 to 7,280 in 2014. The number of students taking a mix of traditional and distance-education classes increased from 5,302 in 2011 to 11,353 in 2014. Regent Larry McKibben and TIER Transformation Project Manager Mark Braun will give an update on the Transparent, Inclusive Efficiency Review.
Dance Society hopes to teach members Celtic steps By Carolina.Colon @iowastatedaily.com When one thinks of dancing, forming figure eights, casting off and drawing a square with your partner is not something that may come to mind. But that’s what the Celtic Dance Society hopes to teach its members — traditional Celtic dance steps. The club meets Mondays from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Memorial Union. The tradition behind this club is of Scottish, Irish and English dances. These traditional dances are known because of their social activeness and performances all around the globe. The objective of the club is to provide instruction in the dancing of Scottish Country, Irish Ceili and other dances of the British
Isles, and to promote the enjoyment and appreciation of Celtic dancing and music. Celtic dancing has various famous dance steps, including the circle, the square and also the figure eight. The music of this type of dance is primarily from famous Irish singers. The club has about 14 members who range from all years in school and majors. Benjamin Kwasa, graduate student in aerospace engineering, has been a member of the club for seven semesters. He explained why he enjoyed being in this club. “It provides a place for people to share very different backgrounds and also to learn other cultures,“ Kwasa said. “Also, [it] is a great mental and physical exercise. It is very different from anything else. Being an engineer, it is a very nice
break.” Being part of the Midwest Scottish Country dancers, the dance society has been invited to attend different balls all around the Midwest. The club has also been dancing at ISU After Dark events, providing brief lessons for students the night of the event. The president of the club, Amanda Green, senior in industrial technology, said she would like to see more new members join the club. “I will like to see more people getting involved in our club, spreading the Scottish dance all around,” Green said. “Don’t be afraid to try it because you can’t dance, you don’t have to be there the whole time.” Victoria Farwell, second-year veterinary student and also the instructor for the club, takes her study
breaks by dancing with her Celtic-appreciating friends. “Being my seventh year in the club, it is really relaxing and social,” Farwell said. “You get a workout and break at the same time. It’s wonderful.” The Celtic Dance Society has been invited this year to attend the Global Gala, a yearly event that promotes diversity here at Iowa State. The 2015 Global Gala is March 28, and the deadline to register performances is Feb. 11. To register, visit the Student Union Board website and visit multicultural awareness. Farwell said all who are interested are welcome to join the club. “No prior experience [is needed],” Farwell said, “[The club] is a great way to have fun and workout and also learn about other cultures while dancing.”

Iowa State Daily
Iowa State has reached record-setting enrollment for the spring semester with 32,794 students on campus. Fall enrollment was 34,732 students.
Richard Martinez/Iowa State Daily
Columnist Zoe Woods believes no religion or beliefs can be discredited or labeled as superior and that all humans have the right to live by their own morals.
Morality through religious eyes By Zoe.Woods @iowastatedaily.com
T
he basis by which we live has been founded on religious belief. Before man created law, man lived by law created by God. Laws against the actions of murder, lying, stealing, originated with God as His commandments to His people. They are the simple rules of life that humans grow up to learn and follow. Such concepts transcend into various other religions. For Hindus, there is the belief that all life is sacred, to be loved and revered, and so non-injury in thought word and action is to be practiced. In Buddhism, Sila is observed. Buddhists believe in the principle that all things are equal and practice the discipline of reciprocity or the Golden Rule. Even fundamentalist or extremist Muslims are expected to live by a law as according to Sharia, or “God’s Way,” stealing, lying, committing adultery, and gambling are prohibited. Some radicals elect not to adhere to those rules and do so with a multitude of reasonings, religious justification being one. The attack at Charlie Hebdo is one of many incidents in history that wield the banner of a God claiming to do its work. As a result of what our society has defined to be moral, we have deemed those actions purely wrong. Yet, who are we to confront and discredit the beliefs of others? How can we label our convictions superior above those around us? We can’t. What we can do, as humans, is believe whatever we want to and in whatever we want to. We can live by our own morals, motivated by a religious nature or whatever you will. As for me, I will believe that because of my religion, how I have learned and grown
in my own faith, the actions taken place in Paris were unjust. Through the understanding of the Bible, how mankind should behave is revealed. It then becomes possible to grasp the idea; there is no reason for violence. When God provided for the world the ultimate sacrifice, his only son for the sins of humanity, how we should live is explained in two resounding concepts: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 22:37-40) For those who choose to believe, who choose to have faith in God and his teachings can understand that through Jesus Christ our sins are forgiven. Through Jesus, humanity is under grace and no longer under a law created for a people without any hope of escaping sin. These commandments encapsulate the way mankind should live day to day. Through these commandments, I proclaim the actions in Paris morally and religiously unjust. As a Christian, I am urged to treat others as I would wish to be treated, or the Golden Rule. Anyone of any walk of faith, or lack there of, would be able to make sense of the notion that life is valuable; therefore life should be protected and not annihilated, harmed. And so, humanity should not be violent in any nature. Nor, if any form of violence is committed, should we take vengeance or religious righteousness upon that action done. We are to turn the other cheek. For those who disagree with this perception, ask yourself, do two wrongs make one right? To convene the words of Alexander Pope, “to err is human, to forgive, divine.”
Our counter to violence of any character is forgiveness. We are imperfect as humans; therefore fault is in our nature. It is to be above our human nature and forgive. Humanity must pardon wrongdoings instead of acting on them violently. Through forgiveness we may find peace. Humanity is called to forgive even when forgiveness is most distant from our thoughts. Thus, resolutions may present themselves and strong relationships may be made. “Then Peter came to Him and said, ‘Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.” (Matthew 18:21-22) Forgiveness is the cure to violence it is the yang to the yin, the right to the wrong, the moral to the immoral. The good shall always prevail against the evil. Evil being violence, it only requires forgiveness to be conquered. Violent events that occurred throughout history may have had a contrasting result if the idea of act and react had an actual benefit besides further violence. It could be easily imagined the possible road of today, if certain non-violent decisions were made. I believe humanity then would have the capacity to live in harmony. However, forgiveness is not an easy duty to perform. The evil within provokes us to act in a way exceedingly opposite to that of forgiveness. The actions taken place against Charlie Hebdo may be seen as unforgivable, and a reaction may be seen as unavoidable, yet the conception that two wrongs do not equate to one right again presents itself. And so, as arduous as it may be, we must think as Mark Twain does, “forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.”
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Know the risks of tanning By Scott Nichols, father and husband of ISU graduates For the past two years, I have been slowly dying of stage four melanoma skin cancer. I believe this makes me an expert on the value of getting a sun tan, as detailed in an Iowa State Daily story from Wednesday. When I was college age, I was a sun worshiper. I was proud of my great tans. Now, as a 59 year old man with a wife and
three wonderful sons, I am dying because of those tans. Let me share what it is like before you make your decision to go into the sun. Two years ago, while I was in the process of bicycling from Iowa to Washington, D.C., I got a call from my dermatologist telling me that I must come home as a small cyst I had removed was melanoma. Back in Iowa, scans showed I had tumors in my brain and lungs. I heard that I was going to die in six months or less, unless I had treatments. The very
best treatments available help only 20 percent of patients. So if I was in the lucky 20 percent, I might live a year or two. Imagine the tears you would have to shed telling your sons, daughters, wife, parents, grandparents and friends. Then come the treatments. We start with brain radiation, so there goes the hair and much of my brain is fried so I end up on Alzheimer drugs. Next is Yervoy, at the time the only drug that has success with some melanomas. It costs $50,000 per infusion and I had
it 11 times. Unfortunately, one of the side effects of Yervoy is diarrhea and I finally got it for 10 days and had to stop taking the drug that was slowing my death march. During much of this time, I was on steroids to reduce brain inflammation. It caused me to gain 30 pounds and I lost all my strength to the point that I was exhausted just going up stairs. A nice tan is not worth dying over, so please stay out of the sun and tanning parlors. You only live once.
Spring semester, enrollment provide opportunity The discussion and chatter of another record-breaking enrollment semester has fallen upon the university yet again. With 32,794 students on campus this spring, the headcount is once again the highest of any spring semester at Iowa State. And when the university welcomed 34,732 Cyclones in the fall semester, the question of “how much is too much” began to float about. It is not unusual for the spring enrollment numbers to drop as the snow begins to fall each year. Numbers have shown to decrease by about 1,500 bodies each spring semester. However, that won’t clear up much room on sidewalks if that’s what you’re hoping. In the fall semester, President Leath and his administration was tasked with finding solutions to the increased enrollment. One of the biggest successes coming from the provost’s offices was the collaboration between departments to answer the testing center waiting line problem. Students would wait for hours to take a 15 or 30-minute test. Well, with the help of the mathematics and engineering departments, GSB and the Provost Jonathan Wickert, the parties found a way to increase the testing centers and decrease waiting times. On Dec. 9, the Iowa State Daily let students know their voices had been heard when some spoke up at an open forum meeting in the fall semester. The increased enrollment in the fall semester seemed to some students as a slight step backward in the quality of life at Iowa State. Crowded sidewalks, packed lecture halls, unfathomable waiting lines and congested CyRide traffic were among some of the most important topics on students’ minds. We must continue moving forward. Although the number of students on campus decreased from 2014 to 2015, it’s still a record number of bodies at Iowa State for a spring semester. As the sun begins to come out, CyRide will become slightly less congested and the sidewalks will once again become clogged. The important thing to remember, however, is students can change that. The testing centers topic is the perfect example. The university and administration should hold at least one more open forum for students to express their spring concerns. Hear us out and continue to give us an opportunity to let you know what we’re dealing with out in the trenches of Central Campus, Kildee Hall, Howe Hall, Carver Hall and the Memorial Union. There were a lot of great accomplishments met in the fall semester. And it doesn’t go without noting that the ISU administration was devoted to listen to the concerns of students. But that can’t stop after just one semester. There has to be more opportunities for conversation between the students and leaders of Iowa State. And if those opportunities are granted, students have to grasp at any opportunity to express the changes that can better Iowa State University, now and for future students.

Iowa State prepares for TCU in tough Big 12 By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com
McKAY, NIANG FIND CONNECTION
In-state rivalries will abound in the Big 12 on Sunday, with Baylor vs. Texas, Kansas vs. Kansas State and Oklahoma State vs. Oklahoma likely helping shape where the conference pecking order stands just over one-third of the way through league play. Meanwhile, Iowa State (15-4, 5-2 Big 12) will host Texas Christian University (14-6, 1-6 Big 12) in what looks like a potential snoozer on paper. But don’t tell that to the Cyclones. Last place Texas Tech stunned a top-10 ISU team that was on the path to a Big 12 Championship and put those hopes in the hands of a Kansas team that has won 10 straight league titles. To make matters worse, that same Tech team was clobbered 8136 against Oklahoma four days later. The Cyclones went on to beat a top-25 Texas team just two days later, but the loss to the Red Raiders hasn’t escaped the minds of ISU fans or media. It hasn’t escaped the minds of the Cyclones either, but they probably wish it would. “I don’t think we’re going to have to say anything about that [loss] the rest of the year,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg. “If you don’t show up with your best game in this league, you’re going to get beat.” While it may just sound like a coaching cliché, the Big 12 has shown time and time again that there truly are “no games off.” While
Near the end of the first half against the Texas Longhorns, Georges Niang got the ball on the high post, pivoted around and lobbed it up toward the rim for Jameel McKay to finish the alley-oop. Less than two minutes later, Niang hit McKay to finish a nearly identical play. But the play isn’t new to ISU fans — in fact, it was Niang and Melvin Ejim who mastered the play last season. It was against TCU when Ejim dropped a Big 12 record 48 points that Niang found him for three alley-oops. Now, it appears McKay has taken over Ejim’s role as not only the ‘oop’ to Niang’s ‘alley,’ but as a low post presence. “I think Jameel McKay is doing a great job around the rim of altering shots and rebounding and really scoring for us,” Niang said. “Him and Dustin [Hogue] are a force to be reckoned with down there so I think if those two keep playing their game, we’re going to be alright.” TCU has been on the losing end of the majority of games, the Horned Frogs took No. 22 Baylor, No. 18 West Virginia and No. 9 Kansas down to the wire, taking both Baylor and West Virginia to overtime. The Cyclones are well aware of this, with teammates watching TCU take on Kansas just three days before their matchup with the Horned Frogs. What they saw was an aggressive team that pulled down 26 offensive rebounds, but missed 14 free throws in a three-point loss. The Horned Frogs are led by point guard Kyan Anderson, a senior who has dropped double-digit point totals against the Cyclones in 3-of-4 career meetings. He had 27 points and eight assists in last year’s game at Hilton, giving one of Iowa

Anderson’s performance was overshadowed by Melvin Ejim’s 48-point, 18-rebound game that pro-

pelled Iowa State for the win. With the chances of another record-breaking day fairly low against a TCU team that has a reloaded roster with new transfers this season, the Cyclones
still hope for a breakout game to help forget the stinging memory of the Texas Tech loss. “We’ve got a tendency not to stomp teams out like we should, but sooner
or later, one game in this league, we’ve got to do it,” Morris said. “I feel TCU, they’ve got a thing for trying to beat us and trying to prove a point, but we should be alright.”
Top-12 spot hangs in the balance for Cyclone Hockey By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com
THE GAME
Cyclone Hockey only has two American Collegiate Hockey Association opponents left before its league tournament, but those two weekends may be the toughest on the year. After sweeping their in-state rivals, the Iowa Hawkeyes, the No. 10 Cyclones (17-11-5) now take on the Central Oklahoma Bronchos, followed by the Robert Morris Eagles the following weekend. The Bronchos (24-4-1) are currently ranked No. 2 but were ranked No. 1 for over a month after knocking
WHO: Cyclones vs. Bronchos WHEN: 7:30 p.m., Friday WHERE: Ames/ISU Ice Arena off the top-ranked Arizona State Sun Devils in October. But there is more at stake than just a top-10 matchup. With the Cyclones currently on the fringe of a top12 spot in the ACHA rankings, they only have a few weekends to solidify that position and avoid a play-in
game that could be detrimental to their playoff run. “The play-in game cost us last year because Oklahoma was sitting there waiting for us after we had just played the night before,” said Cyclone Hockey head coach Jason Fairman, referring back to the 3-1 loss to Oklahoma in the ACHA National Tournament quarterfinals a season ago. “We aren’t going to get in the top-four no matter how we finish, but these next two weekends are very important.” The Bronchos are the highest-ranked team the Cyclones have faced this year, and for good reason. They have five players
with at least 30 points and 15 goals. The Cyclones have none. The Bronchos have seven players with over 15 assists. The Cyclones have one. Part of the reason for the overwhelming statistics is that Central Oklahoma enjoys playing a slow-paced game and boasts a knack for controlling puck possession. That was certainly evident when the team grabbed a low-scoring 1-0 win over the Cyclones in October. To turn the tables this time, the Cyclones have some alterations to make to their strategy. “We have to try and push the pace,” said for-
ward Scott Antonsen. “They play a slow-style game that lulls us to a sleep it feels like. If we impose our will and keep our feet moving to make them play our game, we will be successful.” Another thing that will be key is to make sure the high-powered Bronchos’ offense isn’t allowed to get pucks to the front of the net. “We just need to contain them, keep them to the outside,” said defenseman Cory Sellers. “If we can keep shots to the perimeter, we can keep the pressure off our goalie. We also need to get sticks and bodies in front to stop shots.” The Cyclones do have one advantage over the
Bronchos — goaltending. With Matt Cooper being sent off to the World University Games in Spain, the Cyclones will put Scott Ismond in net for the next three weekends. Not that it’s much of a downgrade, if at all. Ismond has been lights out over the season, owning a .958 save percentage and allowing .93 goals a game. The World University Games have also taken J.P. Kascsak from the Cyclones. His goal-scoring prowess will leave a hole in the lineup, but Fairman said he is confident that players who have been waiting for the chance to take a role will step up to the challenge.
ISU wrestlers focus on attacks against Oklahoma By Beau.Berkley @iowastatedaily.com After last week’s loss to Oklahoma State at Hilton Coliseum, ISU wrestling coach Kevin Jackson listed one problem that may have plagued his team: attacks. With several matches coming down to the wire in a 20-15 loss to the Cowboys, the Cyclones will try to right the ship against Oklahoma
on Saturday, with a bit of added emphasis on their offense. “Our attack rate wasn’t there [against Oklahoma State] in some key matches that we needed to win,” Jackson said. “It just wasn’t there. Our attack rate has to get higher, especially if you have the ability to score points.” Jackson also said he wanted more from a few weight classes that won
their matches, saying he thought some wrestlers had chances to score more points that would have added to Iowa State’s final total, but didn’t take the chances. Improvements with hand fighting, tentativeness and heightened match awareness were also among Jackson’s list of improvements. On paper, the casual observer might find the easiest way to get off more attacks is to just, well, attack

But it’s not as simple as it may be made out to be. “You have to basically train your body and it’s building confidence in yourself,” said 184-pound NCAA Qualifier Lelund Weatherspoon. “You know you need one more attack and need to score more points, so obviously you need to attack, but you can’t just go out there and attack, you need to be smart, get your set ups going and actually attack the guy.” Luckily for Weatherspoon and co., they won’t have to wait long for a shot at redemption against an Oklahoma team. The Sooners (6-5, 1-0 Big 12) are fresh off of a victory against No. 23 West Virginia, a dual in which

TOUGH ROAD COMPETITION Men’s track team leaves little room for error
By Trey.Alessio @iowastatedaily.com On the road again, the ISU men’s track team is preparing for the Razorback Team Invitational. Some like to travel; some would rather stay in Ames. Other than the runners, throwers and jumpers that went to Lincoln, Neb. for the Holiday Inn Invitational, this is the first road meet for Iowa State. There may be a road aspect this week, but the preparation hasn’t changed much. “Our focus at practice, as interesting enough, is to throw hammer outdoor,” said redshirt senior Henry Kelley. “So we’ve been throwing a lot of hammer with the nice weather, and even when it’s not so nice, above 30 degrees, we still go out and throw hammer. We probably touch the weight once a week, maximum, because training hammer helps you throw weight, but training weight does not help you throw hammer.” There is no hammer throw event at the indoor meets. Hammer throw is for outdoor meets and the weight throw is for indoor meets, which Kelley is preparing for. Kelley had a big day
Saturday, Jan. 24 at the Big 4 Duals. He finished first in the weight throw with a distance of 18.86 meters. He also etched his name into ISU track and field history, becoming the sixth-ranked thrower on Iowa State’s alltime list. For senior Mark Sitek, practice this week has been about getting back into the swing of things. “We’re just trying to get back our speed and endurance,” Sitek said. “We kind of have been taking it a little bit lighter the past couple weeks. Right now, we’re trying to get back into full speed.” Sitek specializes in the 200-meter race, which his personal record is 21.67 indoor. His goal for the Razorback Team Invitational is a low 21-minute mark. For a distance runner, practice has been about staying poised. “A lot of it is to build fitness right now because it’s early, but I think, at least in the workouts, it’s been to just stay poised within yourself and get ready for what it’s going to be like in the mile — not necessarily going out there and killing yourself in workouts,” said senior Brian Biekert. Biekert’s goal at the Invitational is to run a personal record. He said he’s

confident and in-shape, but he doesn’t know if a sub-4 minute mile is in his reach right now. Biekert’s personal record for the mile is 4:06.05. There are many different opinions within the ISU men’s track squad about the road aspect of meets. Sitek said there’s not really a road aspect and a race is a race no matter where the location. But Kelley begged to differ a little bit. “Preferably, we can just walk out of our homes and come to Lied and throw,” Kelley said. “That’s the ideal [situation], but the road aspect ... I don’t really think it takes much out of you as an athlete, but it does take a lot of mental planning with your classes and a lot of dietary planning and sleep planning and packing. But if you come prepared, it shouldn’t [hurt] your competition at all.” The team hopes to return to Arkansas for a more important event later in the season. “The Razorback Invitational is where they host the indoor nationals, so there’s a lot of high-powered teams there,” Kelley said. “It’s very different competitively. There’s going to be a lot of good people, and the atmosphere will be good too.”

Two of the most important events for the team at the Razorback Team Invitational include the distance medley relay and the 3000-meter run. ISU assistant coach Andrea Grove-McDonough has her goals set high for the runners competing in the event. “We’re going to take a run at the [distance medley relay],” Grove-McDonough said. “I was really on the fence about that.” Grove-McDonough believes the team’s distance medley relay is a lot better than last year’s, which lacked a strong first and last leg. She also believes it has a good chance of getting a qualifier to the NCAA Championships. Sophomore Perez Rotich will head this year’s distance medley relay and redshirt senior Katy Moencq will anchor. “[Last Year], we had a great middle couple of legs, we just didn’t have

I think she has shown at the NCAA cross meet she’s now capable of running under some pressure and expectations, so she’ll lead off. I expect [Moen] to be under 4:40 and I think that’s the reason we’ll have a shot to get that DMR into the NCAA championships; certainly we’ll break the school record I believe.” The 2014 distance medley relay for the team was one of the best in school history. The distance squad posted the three fastest times in program history with a fastest time of 11:11.93. On the second day of competition, the team hopes to qualify even more runners for the NCAA championships in open events. In the 3000-meter run, Grove-McDonough be-
lieves Moen, along with graduate student Margaret Connelly and Rotich have a good opportunity to earn qualifying spots in the big event. Another runner who will be competing in the event is sophomore Heidi Engelhardt. Engelhardt set a personal record in the mile at the Big 4 Duals on Saturday, Jan. 24 and hopes to set another in the 3000-meter at the invitational this Saturday “[My goal is] significantly breaking 10 minutes in the [3000-meter], which I’ve never done,” Engelhardt said. “My personal record in the 3K is like a 10:28, but I definitely think I’m capable of going under 10 minutes. I honestly don’t know by how much.” An event not so strong for Iowa State is the 800-meter run. The team will run freshman Evelyne Guay in the event. “[Guay’s] come a long way in a really short period of time, really dealt with some health issues,” GroveMcDonough said. “We didn’t give her first workout until she was home over Christmas Break, a real Mickey Mouse kind of workout. We’re hoping we can stretch a 2:08 out of her.”
ISU women’s golfers prepare for winter tournament By Mike.Randleman @iowastatedaily.com On the surface, a chance to square off against a top-10 opponent is an eye-catching matchup for the ISU women’s golf team. On Sunday, No. 32/32 Iowa State, ranked by Golfweek/Golfstat, will travel to West Palm Beach, Fla. for an exhibition match against No. 9/8 Northwestern. Despite the intriguing matchup that features two NCAA Championship teams from a year ago, the Cyclones insisted that the outcome of the match is of

Instead, a greater emphasis will be placed on gaining quality reps outdoors and adjusting to playing full rounds of golf.

is a welcome way to begin the season versus diving straight into tournament play. “I like this better because we don’t get to play on a course here because it’s cold and snowy,” Chayanun said. “So I think this is a good match to practice and warm up and get ready for the real tournament.” ISU coach Christie Martens, she sees the weekend as a way to begin the process of adjusting from a practice mindset to a tournament mindset. “We’re going to get our process goals and really be sure that we know what to focus on,” Martens said.
“That is the one thing of going from tournament mindset to practice mindset and in between those, so it’s going to be about sort of changing the focus from improvement to [playing for a] score and how we go about that.” The two days of practice in Florida will serve as the team’s only time to play a full round of golf before the season begins Feb. 8. Despite the limited outdoor practice, Martens said the winter months are when she sees the most improvement from her team. Whether it be at the team’s new practice facility or at short-game practice at the
turf field at the Bergstrom Football Complex, the Cyclones use some creativity to overcome the lack of outdoor practice. “It’s a fun time of the year for us because it’s so good for just overall game improvement,” Martens said. “[Assistant coach Pina Gentile] made these new, awesome targets at Bergstrom that are pretty awesome just for trajectory and distance control. We’ve been having a lot of fun with those and just different contests.” “There’s really no better time for them to develop their games than this time of the year.”

PROFESSORS p1 you don’t feel like buddies, it makes things earlier. Addressing [teachers] properly is an indication of respect for their academic accomplishments.” Michael Bugeja, director of the Greenlee School of Journalism, said there are some simple steps students can take to avoid any mishaps. “Always look up the name and title,” Bugeja said. “Don’t assume all pro-
SAE p1 have occurred at the fraternity house on Jan. 16. The assault was reported Jan. 17 and the university sent out a timely warning on Jan. 22. Because greek houses are in Ames Police jurisdiction, both Ames PD and the university are investigating the case. Ames Police has not made any charges on the case, said Jason Tuttle, Ames PD public information officer. A detective and officer are working on the case by following up with those in the fraternity and others involved, he said. When a member of a Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter is suspended, the member, according to the SAE suspension laws: • shall not display the certificate of membership during the period of suspension • shall not be permitted to 1) attend any chapter, alumni meeting or social affair given under the auspices of the fraternity
ASSAULT p1 woman became sick due to intoxication, according to the complaint. The complaint also said that the woman woke to Whetstone assaulting her in the early morning hours of March 30. The criminal complaint was filed by ISU Police on Jan. 12, 2015, eight months after the incident. There is a student disciplinary hearing scheduled in February. John McCarroll, director of University Relations, said the federal investigation did not impact the sexual assault investigation, the Associated Press reported.
fessors have their Ph.D. and don’t assume all lecturers do not.” Krista Klocke, senior in speech communication and communication studies, said she always looks instructors up before the class begins to be sure she doesn’t offend anyone. “If I’m not sure, my default is to call my teacher ‘doctor’ unless they tell me otherwise,” Klocke said. Learning to correspond formally with instructors via email will
not only help to receive quicker and more detailed responses, but emails can contain clues about how the instructor prefers to be addressed in person, Hill said. He advises students not to use openings like “hey” or “dear” in favor of “Mr.”, “Ms.” or “Dr.”. “It’s a matter of keeping a professional distance,” Hill said. “The way people sign their emails is probably the way they’re comfortable being addressed.”
• e n t e r t h e c h a p t e r house for any purpose To be reinstated from a suspension, a member may be reinstated by a two-thirds vote of the Chapter Collegiate that imposed the suspension. A suspended member can petition the suspension for reinstatement at any time, but it must be made by another member in good standing. A suspended member can also be reinstated by a two-thirds vote of members in good standing at a chapter meeting if a quorum is present, according to the fraternity laws. The sexual assault that was reported to have occurred at the house is the first in two reported sexual assaults on the ISU campus so far in 2015. Another sexual assault report was in a residence hall, where the victim reported being assaulted by an acquaintance. The incident was reported to have happened Jan. 19 in Larch Hall, a timely warning released by Iowa State stated. The timely warning
was released around 4 p.m. Friday. Anthony Greiter, outreach officer with ISU police, said victims’ friends play a big role in the reporting process. He advised victims’ friends to: • Believe the victim • Do not try to be the investigator - leave it to the police • Do not promise that the perpetrator will be punished Universities are re-
quired to issue timely warnings as part of the Clery Act, which requires universities to inform communities of an ongoing threat. Under Title IX, universities are required to have a sexual violence response coordinator and must have a response investigation procedure. Iowa State’s Safety and You publication reports seven sexual assaults in 2011, 12 in 2012 and 20 in 2013.
ISU Police Capt. Aaron DeLashmutt agreed. “Any sexual assault case, we pretty much give it everything we can,” DeLashmutt said. “The Department of Education investigation is completely different. We’re not a part of that process. It didn’t really affect our process. Obviously, we continued on and continued with our process.“ The investigation of Iowa State’s handling of sexual assaults also comes after two sexual assaults were reported in the last month, one at Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and one in Larch Residence Hall. Frank LoMonte, ex-
ecutive director at the Student Press Law Center, said sexual assaults on college campuses are much more than an investigative trend being undertaken by the Obama administration. “Victims on campuses started coming forward in a very public way,” LaMonte said. A 2012 column in The Amherst Student, the student newspaper at Amherst College in Massachusetts, sparked a conversation about how colleges and universities handle sexual assault. A sexual assault victim detailed her own account of being victimized by her own college after
she reported her sexual assault and the college “treated her like she was dangerous,” LaMonte said. After the dialogue on sexual assault and how the investigations are being performed, pressure was put on the education system on how it handles sexual assault cases. The other factor is that journalists focused on college deficiencies in reference to sexual assault cases. There was a “drumbeat of disclosures that have come forward that showed colleges weren’t taking the issue seriously,” LaMonte said. “It’s widely known

“Really, the issue is if they have a master’s degree,” said Eric Danielsen, a senior in English. “If it’s a TA, then it’s just their name.” Lohman believes some of the miscommunication may be because of a generational gap and said she has noticed older instructors often have less trouble with students addressing them incorrectly. “I’ve noticed a difference from now than when I started 13 years ago,” she
However, if a student is not sure how to address an instructor in an awkward situation the safe bet is to go with Mr. or Ms., Bugeja said. “In fact, at some elite universities they have handled this problem by having everyone call all their teachers Mr. or Ms.,” he said. Students don’t always show the same amount of respect to teaching assistants as they show to professors.
said. “I was raised in an environment where we called everyone Mr. and Ms.” In the end, erring on the side of caution is generally the best course of action. Just remember, professors are people too and their feelings can be hurt if they feel disrespected. “Calling a professor by their first name without permission is tantamount to calling your parents by their first name without their permission,” Bugeja said.
What not to do after a sexual assault
Sexual assault response resources
After being sexually assaulted, the Sexual Assault Response Team advises that victims do not: • Change anything at the location where the assault occurred • Eat or drink • Shower • Brush your teeth • Go to the bathroom • Change your clothes These activities could destroy physical evidence that may be helpful if you later decide to pursue legal action. SART also advises victims that a sexual assault is never their fault.
If you have experienced a sexual assault, there are a number of resources available to you. If you choose to report a sexual assault, here are services available to you and steps you may need to take. If you report a sexual assault to one of the Story County Sexual Assault Response Team, or SART, centers — Mary Greeley, Thielen Health Center or Story County Medical Center — a SART group will come to the site and provide information to you. These group members include: • A sexual assault nurse examiner who has special training in collecting sexual assault evidence, • A sexual assault advocate whom offers emotional support and victim rights education and • A law enforcement officer who takes a report of the investigation, depending on how involved the victim wishes to be. Once at the medical center, you may select any or all of the services SART offers to you, which include: • ACCESS (Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support) - 29-ALERT or (515) 292-5378 • Mary Greeley Medical Center (515) 239-2155 • Thielen Student Health Center (515) 294-5801 • Planned Parenthood (515) 292-1000 • Story County Medical Center (515) 382-2111 • ISU Police (515) 294-4428 • Ames Police (515) 239-5133 • Story County Sheriff’s Office (515) 382-6566 • ISU Dean of Students Office (515) 294-1020 • Office of Equal Opportunity (515) 294-7612

SEXUAL ASSAULTS REPORTED AT ISU Forcible sex offenses at Iowa State, according to the Safety and You statistics put out by the ISU Police Department • 2009- 20 offenses • 2010- 9 offenses • 2011- 7 offenses • 2012- 12 offenses • 2013- 20 offenses colleges under-report these crimes,” LaMonte said of higher-education institutions across the country. LaMonte said the White House is now listening to victims around the country, shown by initiatives like the “It’s
On Us” campaign, which encourages university student bodies to start a conversation about how to prevent sexual assaults. LaMonte said the most likely repercussion of a negative outcome in the investigation would be a fine for the university.
