ARTWORK
BRINGS NEW YORK CITY TO AMES Work of native Ames resident on display
Improving safety in the community
By Michael.Heckle @iowastatedaily.com Among the photographs that hang on their respective sides of Design on Main in downtown Ames, it’s easy to see the connection that journalist and photographer Michael Corones shares with New York City. Titled “Gotham,” the haunting black and white and the vibrant colors paint a picture of New York City through Corones’ own experiences. The gallery opened Friday night with a reception at the College of Design’s satellite facility. Design on Main will feature Corones’ work until Jan. 28. “It’s mostly shots that I stumbled into while wandering around New York City, where I moved four years ago or so,” Corones said. “I always walk around with at least my cell phone or camera.” Corones said that while his more recent images were taken with a proper Sony camera, he captured much of his older work with his cell phone. It wasn’t until he began receiving positive feedback from the people around him that he began taking photography seriously. “I think I’ve learned pretty quickly [during] the last four or so years since I’ve moved to New York,” Corones said. “But I didn’t really have any interest in or knowledge of any ability until that happened, so I kind of stumbled into it.” One of Corones’ photographs featured in the “Gotham” exhibit depicts an old, decaying piano resting on the shore of the East River. “It was actually on TV locally,” Corones said. “I walked by it a couple of times and it fell further and further into disrepair because, I think, as the tide came in picking at the piano more and more. That shot’s from a couple of years ago and it was kind of a local legend.” Other images feature Times Square, the Manhattan Bridge, the East River and Central Park Hotel. While his fine art illustrates his adoration of New York City, Corones’ connection with a much smaller town, Ames, might be harder to notice. Corones grew up in Ames, graduating from Ames High School.

Michael Corones grew up in Ames and graduated from Ames High School. Some of his art features Times Square, the Manhattan Bridge, the East River and the Central Park Hotel.
“ ... [Photography] sort of scratches the itch that the writing and editing and technical part of journalism doesn’t.” MICHAEL CORONES Journalist and photographer
Corones’ brother Matthew, who is also a photographer, graduated from Iowa State with a master’s in fine arts in 2012, according to the College of Design website. When he returned to Ames last year to visit his family, he found that his brother had an exhibit on display at Design on Main.
“I got to know some of the gallery folks and they invited me back to have a show,” Corones said. “I’m kind of sheepish about it because I feel like there are people [that] their life goal is to have a show, and I’ve stumbled into one.” Along with his talent behind the camera, Corones has worked as a journalist for nearly 15
years. His writing has been featured on Reuters.com, along with the Washington Post, the Denver Post and the San Jose Mercury News, according to the College of Design website. “[Journalism is] my day job, which I still really enjoy,” Corones said. “So that’s where some of the writing comes in, but [photography] sort of scratches the itch that the writing and editing and technical part of journalism doesn’t.” Corones said that while he doesn’t have any set plans for the future, he intends to continue exploring New York City, taking a camera with him wherever he goes.
The Ames Police Department is looking to expand upon its public safety initiative, “Bike, Walk, Drive Smart,” about a year after the campaign was implemented. “Bike, Walk, Drive Smart,” which is a campaign to practice safety through respect, was created after the death of Emmalee Jacobs, who was an Iowa State freshman when she was fatally hit by a CyRide on the first day of finals in December 2015. Now with a year under its belt, the Ames Police Department is looking to keep moving forward with its initiative. “We really pride ourselves on trying to be a proactive, problemsolving police department, and I think that’s why we were looking at this safety campaign last year because we want to be proactive, we want to get the words out, we want to educate our citizens who use our streets and use our sidewalks,” Ames Police Patrol Cmdr. Jason Tuttle said. Tuttle said the education aspect was a focus point of the group when first putting the program together. The department did this by handing out flyers in the street and distributing them across town and on campus. The Ames Police Department also worked with the Iowa State Police Department to make sure that students were safely crossing the street when on campus, as well as being cautious of pedestrians when riding a bike or driving a car. Several pages on the city of Ames website are dedicated to the “Bike, Walk, Drive Smart” campaign. Here, people are able to find instructional videos as well as flyers and tips for pedestrians, drivers and bike riders. The department created three videos, one for each mode of transportation — walking, biking and driving. Community Out-

Regents name new state relations officer to Iowa State By Danielle.Gehr @iowastatedaily.com Legislative bills, university funding and lobbying: Kristin Failor was named by the Board of Regents to take on these responsibilities for Iowa State. Failor started her new position Tuesday after spending roughly six years serving as state policy director for the National Federation of
Independent Business. She will now have the responsibility of maintaining communication between KRISTIN Iowa State FAILOR and the state government, a job previously held by Joe Murphy. “I look forward to representing the students,
faculty and wide range of departments and colleges at our state capitol,” Failor said. “I know I have large shoes to fill as Joe Murphy was well respected in this position, but I hope to further the great work he had done and continue to tout ISU as the premier university that it is.” On top of acknowledging the honor that comes with having been chosen, Failor said she was impressed
with the campus facilities, people and the “energy that exists on campus.” “Kristin is well-known and respected at the capitol, and we’re fortunate she’ll apply her talent and experience to assist us,” President Steven Leath said in an Iowa State news release. The state relations officer position opened when Murphy was selected as senior vice president for govern-
ment relations and public policy at the Greater Des Moines Partnership. Failor is a University of Iowa alumna and received a law degree from Drake University. She is currently pursuing a master’s of health care administration from Des Moines University. “Kristin brings valuable experience in government relations, policy development and law,” said Robert Donley, executive director
of the board, according to the Iowa State news release. Failor is invested in numerous boards and committees. Included in this list are the Iowa Small Business Development Center’s advisory board, the Iowa Association of Business and Industry economic growth and tax subcommittees, the Iowa Waste Reduction advisory committee and the Iowa Workers Compensation appeals board.
Future dean of students prioritizes excellence at ISU By Emily.Hammer @iowastatedaily.com From four candidates, Vernon Hurte was named the dean of students and associate vice president of student affairs in an early January statement. Hurte will assume his position in early July and work primarily in the dean of students office. He will still report to the office of the senior vice president
of student affairs. At his current position of assistant to the vice president, senior assoVERNON ciate dean of HURTE students and director of the Center for Student Diversity at the College of William & Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia, Hurte said he does many of the same things he will do at
Iowa State. When deciding whether to apply for the position, Hurte was impressed with the sense of community and diversity that already existed. “The institution already has a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion,” Hurte said. “As I look at Iowa State’s commitment to inclusion, my hope is to bring leadership [to] help us take our efforts even farther.” Before his interview,
Hurte had never even stepped on campus. But in his eyes, Iowa State’s office of student affairs is one of the best in the country, which was enough to apply without visiting first. When he flew out, Hurte was pleasantly surprised to find that he enjoyed the environment and the people on campus. “I was impressed with the students and the staff, the campus,” he said. “People took the time to speak and
chat it up a little bit and that felt really familiar.” The first item of business for Hurte is to get to know people, especially students. What originally drove him to student affairs was his love for engaging and working with students to find their passions and talents. His work with students at Iowa State will be no different. “I want to spend time with students and find out how they feel about the campus,”
he said. “I want all students from all backgrounds to feel that sense of belonging.” Ultimately, Hurte wants his legacy to be remembered as a student-centered dean who was committed to helping students excel. “I hope people will get to know me and feel the energy and passion I have for the campus and work,” he said. “I’m excited to be a Cyclone, and my family is excited to make the transition to Iowa State.”

Iowa secretary of state announces proposal for enhanced voter ID legislation By Danielle.Gehr @iowastatedaily.com Newly proposed legislation that will attempt to improve the accuracy of Iowa elections was unveiled by Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate at a news conference Thursday. The proposed legislation includes new implementations such as instituting electronic poll books at every Iowa precinct, along with requiring an identification number for voting via absentee ballot, according to a press release. The bill would also require post-election audits in order to ensure an ac-
curate election. “As I have stated many times, protecting the integrity of our elections is my top priority and this legislation will help us do that,” Pate said in a statement. “This bill streamlines the system to make checking in easier and quicker. It will reduce waiting times at the polls, ensure every eligible Iowan is able to cast a ballot, and ensures their ballot will count.” The bill would also work to create more uniform training for election staff and poll workers that would be continually refreshed. Any election misconduct would be required to be reported to the secretary
of state. The bill has received negative responses from some, including Iowa State Sen. Jeff Danielson of Cedar Falls. Those who oppose the bill have fears that the proposed legislation could affect voter turnout. In a statement released in response to Pate’s proposal, Danielson said, “Less than two months after praising the integrity of elections in Iowa, Secretary of State Paul Pate has released a partisan proposal that will suppress voter turnout across Iowa. Voter ID and other changes outlined today will disenfranchise older Iowans, younger Iowans and people
of color.” The purpose of the proposal is to help further ensure fair elections, the press release stated. “We are one of the top states in the nation for voter registration and voter participation,” Pate said. “This legislation will not have any negative impact on either of those. Instead, it will help instill confidence in our voting system and let every Iowan know that their vote counts.” In Story County, the total voter turnout for the 2016 general election averaged 74 percent. This is just 2 percent above the 72 percent Iowa average, according to Pate’s website.
Iowa State lecturer’s feminist message aired on C-SPAN By Danielle.Gehr @iowastatedaily.com There may always be more room for progress, but the newsroom would look vastly different if it weren’t for the women who empowered themselves to be journalists during a time when journalism was strictly a man’s world. These women who went to the extreme to break down gender barriers and make their way into the newsroom were the theme of Iowa State assistant professor TRACY Tracy Lucht’s LUCHT lecture that appeared Saturday on CSPAN’s “Lectures in American History.” “Most of my research is about women in journalism, and that comes from my experience in newsrooms,” Lucht said. “Having worked in newsrooms right out of college and through graduate school, I found it really interesting that in our classes we have almost two-thirds female students and when you get into the newsrooms, the newsrooms don’t look like that.” During her lecture, Lucht mentioned two different names that were given to the female reporters who were trying to find new genres and bring in new audiences. These were “stunt reporters” and “sob sisters.” “Those two terms, stunt reporters and sob sisters, were actually used pejoratively to describe the kinds of content that women created,” Lucht said. “But they were able to use that content to get a foothold in the field and to draw attention to themselves and to issues that otherwise wouldn’t have gotten a lot of attention.”

I wasn’t prepared for and I don’t think it was necessarily the fault of any of my professors,” Lucht said. “I didn’t really have the vocabulary for understanding those experiences at the time.” Lucht recalled being hit on by sources and not knowing how to react. She said people advised her to encourage the source in order to get a better story, which felt completely unethical to her. “I learned a lot about the ideals of journalism and the ethics of journalism and sometimes I didn’t always see those carried out in the real world, and that was surprising to me,” Lucht said. Despite her own experience, Lucht said that after talking with women who were a part of the journalism industry during the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, she truly realized how far the world has come when it comes to gender equality. “There’s always progress to be made, but when you hear these women’s stories about things that happened to them, questions they were asked during their job interviews,” Lucht said. These women were asked if they were on birth control and if they planned to get pregnant and start a family, questions that would have implication if asked in an interview today. Going into the airing of her lecture, Lucht was unsure whether she would watch it out of a hatred of her voice that is common among many. “I’ll probably have to do it with a glass of wine in my hand,” Lucht said. “I thought about proposing a drinking game for every time I say, ‘you know’ or ‘um.’” As for now, she is glad that the stories of these women have been heard by many more than those in her classes, and that her message has gone far outside the city limits of Ames.

Overcrowding in U.S. prisons can lead to recidivism, or relapsing into criminal behavior.
Patch path from prison to outside world By Maddy.Beiwel @iowastatedaily.com
Max Goldberg/Iowa State Daily
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR By Emily.Barske @iowastatedaily.com Welcome back to campus! I’m sure that many of you have set goals for the new year and I want to share with you some of the Daily’s goals. As a news organization existing at Iowa State for 126 years, we hope you find us to be at the pulse of relevant topics in our community. But though we’ve existed for 126 years, how we deliver our content is changing dramatically. You’ll fi nd that we provide a print product, a website, an app, social media and various projects or campaigns. It’s our goal to continue to find new, better and different ways to get you information. Through our news coverage, we provide factual information that community members want and need to be educated about key issues facing Iowa State. Through the opinion section, we hope to be spark public discourse as a forum for community members to provide fact-based stances about topics important to them. Finally, through our larger projects and campaigns, we hope to facilitate conversations most pertinent to our community. In 2016, we were named the best student newspaper in the country by the Society of Professional Journalists and we will work to maintain our quality during 2017. There are many areas we hope to improve on and we hope you’ll help us do that. Let us know how you’d like to see our coverage improve, ask us about how we do our jobs, write a letter to the editor and maybe even come work for us. From everyone at the Daily, we wish you a successful spring semester and hope you’ll make us a part of it.
It’s a fresh year, and spring is in the air Yes, the temperatures are still well below freezing, and yes, summer may seem nothing more than an impossible dream. But, in the coming days, as you scurry from one side of campus to the other wrapped from head to toe in winter wools and turning your face from the snows and winds that batter you, remember: There’s a reason it’s called spring semester. Classes will be returning to session, and, in a few short months— which’ll pass quicker than you might think—the fragrant smells of new growth, the chirpings of song-birds and the melting of drifts will betray a hint of spring in the air. This may seem ridiculous talk now, as temperatures continue to dip and the sidewalks and streets don their perennial slush-coats, but the start of second semester does in no small part bring a grain of hope to these often cloudy times. And this is why we all love Ames so much, right? We are treated to the full experience of four distinct seasons. Summer, fall, winter and then spring each take their turn, and neither is given a smaller or larger slice of the pie than any other. It can be difficult to remember this in the depths of a cold, long February, but such is simply the realities of spring semester. So it might be difficult to get excited for your new classes, but go ahead and do your best. It’s important to get started on the right foot, as the weather will be turning just as finals come around—making for an uneven motivation to study— and oftentimes the first part of the
semester is exactly when you most need to build a relationship with your fellow classmates and professors, to ensure success is the latter half. And yes, there will be expensive textbooks to buy, there will be hours of listening to professors dwell upon syllabus minutiae, there will be freezing walks in between classes, there will be wet boots and coats, there will be biting winds and there will be classrooms located in the basement of this or that building that are impossible to locate. But with every new semester there are new possibilities. New friends to meet, new passions to find and new successes to make. And—after all—that’s what the new year is all about. Because although 2016 was for some not a year to remember, but a year to forget—2017 is still fair game.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Some thoughts on the political ‘-isms’ By Carlos G. Toledo-Parada, Graduate student in English I’ve heard people complaining about how sports shows should be only about sports. Reporters/presenters shouldn’t step outside the confines of sports by talking about, or making passing comments concerning politics or the larger cultural context. That sounds reasonable to me. You want to have a place where you can take a break from the pressures of the world, from judging or being judged and just unwind. Granted, the “real world” is not like that. In the “real world” we really can’t be protected from the tumult of the many tensions and divisions that seem to dominate discourse. In the “real world” there
is no warning before a topic, much less so a word, that may make anybody feel “triggered.” But you want to have a place, or, to put it differently, a space, where you can take a break from that tension. Let’s qualify that space as a somewhere one can feel, if even for a little while, safe, from the less forgiving and allowing nature of the “real world” outside that space. Yeah, that sounds about right. A safe space where there is no fear of possible tension or unpleasant confrontation—just the tacit understanding that we’re there to talk about sports and we’re not going to have to have the conversations that the “real world” compels us to have. The larger point I can extrapolate from this is that, similarly, let people talk about their feelings in their emotional “safe
spaces.” Let people talk about their beliefs, and how they feel oppressed, and how they feel marginalized, and how they feel triggered, in their safe spaces. I don’t think allowing the expression of emotionality—some may say whininess—in these areas that people agree are a “safe space” within the “real world,” threatens anybody’s rationality or suppresses free speech. On the same vein, I propose an idea that some may deem preposterous: how about people who uphold unpopular beliefs—some may say bigoted— have “safe spaces” of their own to talk freely with the same underlying premise of not being judged? Because I truly believe if you don’t agree with that which someone says, trying to shame them into changing their views accomplishes the exact
opposite result. The cancellation of Milo Yiannopoulos’s performance — because the guy makes an effort to be outrageous, epitome of a provocateur performance — at Iowa State University on the grounds of inappropriate venue security seem to me unfair… or sad, if you consider that terrorist attacks have been threatened on other places where Milo was supposed to perform. As a reader can infer from reading this, I wouldn’t neatly identify my opinions on either extreme of the lib/con spectrum. In fact, I think such polarity simply doesn’t cut it for me. Like Krishnamurti said, “Identification puts an end to discovery; it is another form of laziness. Identification is vicarious experience, and hence utterly false.”
America’s prisons are crowded. A press release from the Bureau of Justice Statistics reported that at year-end 2015, more than 2 million people were either “under the jurisdiction of state or federal prisons or in the custody of local jails in the United States.” This number greatly affects taxpayers, who have to pay up to $31,000 for each incarcerated inmate. Overcrowding is also damaging to the inmates. Studies have suggested that overcrowding can lead to increased prisoner misconduct and may cause lifelong psychological harm to those in prison or jail even after their release. Perhaps the most frightening fact, however, is that overcrowding can lead to recidivism, which is re-offending often after a criminal has been punished or sanctioned for their previous act. While this cannot be definitively stated without entering into “correlation equals causation” territory, it stands to reason that if more people are incarcerated, facilities will have trouble tending to all of their needs in an effective and meaningful way. “In severely overcrowded facilities, you no longer have the ability to protect inmates from sexual assault and physical abuse, and you’re depriving people of basic services like medical care,” Michael Ruderman, a medical and public health student at Touro University, said. “All these things make the most marginalized, most vulnerable people in society that much more vulnerable.” I understand that it is perhaps hard for people to feel sympathetic for prison inmates, especially for individuals who have committed the most heinous of crimes. But if the people in prison have their mental or physical issues ignored, these issues will follow them into the outside world if and when they are released. Even if people are incapable of feeling sympathetic for them, that does not mean that they do not deserve to have a chance. One group that is highly controversial is sex offenders. I understand that it can be hard to care about people who have committed this kind of crime, and that seeing them in a sympathetic light is too much for some. I understand it’s hard to want the best for these people, but I maintain that programs must be put in place in order to assist them in their transition from prison to the outside world, both to help them and to prevent them from creating more victims in the future. The rehabilitation of sex offenders has long been a contentious topic. Some studies have found treatment results to be somewhat indecisive, and this can be disheartening. But evidence suggests that treatment can work for moderate- to high-risk offenders, and that treatment can impact recidivism in a short time period. This may not be as groundbreaking as it could be, but with time, new programs can be developed that are more effective. And even the results now can be considered a success if they prevent any more victims from being created. While individual attention may be best for prisoners, it cannot be accomplished overnight. We can’t expect a complete overhaul of the prison system in a week, so all we can do is ask that certain programs be implemented that allow people to be as content as possible where they are. If they are treated like people in the prison system, it will be much easier for them to integrate back into daily life. There are programs in place that allow people to learn real-life skills inside of prison. These include cosmetology, cooking and metal working. They help people move on from their time incarcerated. But more should be done to make sure that people become healthy after their time in jail.

3 takeaways from Iowa State’s win By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State (10-4, 2-1 Big 12) beat Texas (7-8, 1-2 Big 12) 79-70 on Saturday night at Hilton Coliseum, bouncing back from a two-point road loss to No. 2 Baylor last Wednesday. Here are three takeaways from the game:
DEFENSIVE SUCCESS Iowa State coach Steve Prohm put a focus on defense this season. He said that from his first interview back at the team’s media day earlier this fall, and he’s said it nearly every week this season. The Cyclones’ defensive success showed against Texas. They held the Longhorns to just 70 points and had a season-high 12 steals on the night. And after Iowa State’s win against Texas, Prohm said he’s happy with how their defense has changed throughout the season. Had fans watched their closed scrimmage against Nebraska before the season started, he said, they would have seen a very different defense. “We’re getting there,” Prohm said. “I know that makes people nervous being good defensively. But I just think you need to be to win big games, to win on the road, to put yourself in a position to sustain it night in night out, you have to be good defensively.” After Saturday’s win, KenPom.com ranked Iowa State as the 16th best defense in the country. And now that his defense is close to where he wants it to be, Prohm’s focus is starting to shift to another problem. “I think they understand now. They’re playing hard and they’re defending,” Prohm said. “Now in close games, collectively, from me down to the last guy, we have to do a better job finishing games.”

Deonte Burton drives to the hoop against Texas on Saturday at Hilton Coliseum. Burton had 27 points on 12-of-17 from the field and 3-of-4 from behind the arc in the Cyclones’ 79-70 win.
CAMERON LARD ARRIVES
After months of speculation, Iowa State 4-star recruit Cameron Lard is finally in Ames. The forward from Pro Vision Academy in Houston, Texas, arrived in Ames on Saturday before the Cyclones’ game against Texas and got some shots in before the game. Lard, however, did not meet with the media Saturday, citing a coach’s decision. Prohm said he plans to meet with Lard on Sunday and then slowly start to integrate him into the team’s workouts and practices. He is immediately eligible to play for the Cyclones, but Prohm said he isn’t likely
to see any playing time this season. However, he didn’t rule it out. “That’s something that we’ve got to look at,” Prohm said last week. “If he’s seriously going to make a difference, then that’s something that we’ve got to seriously look at. That’s a long way off, but it’s something that we would look at.”
PROHM TWEAKING LINEUP Iowa State center Merrill Holden, who began this season as a starter, didn’t see the court at all on Saturday. Holden was replaced in the starting lineup five games ago by fellow senior Darrell Bowie and has only
averaged 3.5 points and 2.2 rebounds per game so far this year. Bowie played just 19 minutes, and Solomon Young — who has replaced Holden in the post at times this season — only played six minutes. Prohm said the decision to sit Holden was simply a basketball decision and not a disciplinary one. “You just have to play who you feel,” Prohm said. “That’s what I’m doing now. We’re getting into the meat of our schedule but we’re playing as good as we have all year right now I think on both ends of the floor.” Prohm also had high praise for guard Donovan Jackson, who finished with
four points and two rebounds in his 22 minutes on the court Saturday. While that statline might not impress many on paper, it’s what Jackson is doing on the court that stands out to Prohm. “He can defend the way I really envision us as a team collectively defending,” Prohm said. “He does a great job on the ball. He did a great job, he got beat one time on [Baylor’s Manu] Lecomte the other night, but he’s done a great job ... I love his defense. That’s probably the best thing he’s doing for us right now. And then making good offensive plays and not forcing things offensively.”

Cyclone Hockey busts rust in two-game split By Connor.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com Between its Dec. 10 game against Colorado and Friday’s matchup with Central Oklahoma, Cyclone Hockey had 26 days to take a break and get relaxed from the long first half of the season. Although after a long break like that, it can be hard to become accustomed to playing two or three games a weekend again. The rusty style of play was prevalent from the beginning of the series, but the No. 6 Cyclones pulled out a series split against No. 7 Central Oklahoma in Oklahoma City. “I think both teams were a little lost or were trying to get back into the normal rhythm this weekend,” senior Eero Helanto said. “But I think we played well considering we had the break.” On Friday, the Cyclones found themselves down 2-1 heading into the third period but scored four
goals in the final frame to earn a win. “We definitely dug deep in the third on Friday,” senior captain Chase Rey said. “We put pucks on net and good things happened. “Once we got a few, I think we played our game more and more. The four goals were a testament to how well we stuck to our game.” The Cyclones were downed by Central Oklahoma on Saturday in a 3-2 thriller. “Saturday was a close game all the way to the final buzzer,” Rey said. “I thought we played hard. A few breakdowns for us is all it took.” The team surrendered the game-winning goal to the Bronchos when they were on a penalty kill. “We need to be sharp for 60 minutes against good teams like UCO,” Rey said. The Cyclones have gotten used to playing good teams like Central Oklahoma, which will aid them in their upcoming eight straight games against
American Collegiate Hockey Association top15 teams. “[Playing against top teams is] fun,” Helanto said. “I think those are the games that we want to play. There is always a challenge, which makes it more interesting.” Rey said splitting the series with Central Oklahoma after the long winter break was a step in the right direction for the Cyclones, who hope to return to the ACHA National Championship game in 2017 after falling in it in 2016. “We need to continue to stay positive in the upcoming weeks and we’ll be right where we need to be when nationals rolls around,” Rey said.

Cyclones dominate in first Big 12 victory By Tyler.Julson @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State women’s basketball team notched its first win in conference play with a big 87-58 win over Kansas on Sunday at Hilton Coliseum. Both the Cyclones (9-5, 0-3 Big 12) and the Jayhawks (6-8, 0-3 Big 12) came into the matchup looking for their first conference win. But from the very beginning, this one was dominated by the Cyclones. In the first quarter alone, the Cyclones forced 10 turnovers and limited the Jayhawks to just four points on just one field goal. By the end of the game, five Cyclones scored in double figures, including two players off the bench — junior Emily Durr and senior Heather Bowe. One of the game’s big performances came from Bowe, who finished the game with a career-high 16 points and 10 rebounds. Bowe came off the bench Sunday after starting two straight games due to what Fennelly described as a matchup issue. “I tried to focus on the little things and let the game come to me,” Bowe said. “I didn’t try to force things and really focused
on rebounding first and everything else fell into place. Honestly, I don’t mind [coming off the bench]. I think TeeTee [Starks] does a great job in there, whatever is best for the team.” Bowe also marked a career best in 3-pointers (3-3) and blocks (three). Iowa State was led in scoring by sophomore Bridget Carleton, who finished with 21 points. Carleton got off to a rocky start in conference play but turned the corner and regained some confidence. “I felt much better this game. Coach has been on me about shooting, he wants me to keep shooting,” Carleton said. “[Coach] has confidence in me and he tells me that every day. He’s been really helpful. I’ve been in the gym shooting every day and it was nice to see it pay off in a game.” The Cyclones shot 47 percent from the floor (27-for-57) and 48 percent from beyond the 3-point line (10-for-21). While the team was able to force 19 turnovers, the Cyclones committed 23 turnovers, one of the only low points in the game. Before the game, Fennelly emphasized that the team needed to be aggressive and work on getting to the free-throw line. Iowa State got to the charity

stripe 29 times, converting on 23 of them. “That was the No. 1 thing for us,” Fennelly said. “Kansas plays a very physical style, they always do. We just told them, you got to drive to the basket, be aggressive, don’t settle.
We did that from the very beginning.” The first conference win was a big one for the Cyclones, as a fourth straight loss would have been draining on the confidence of the team. Iowa State has been
competitive in all of its conference matchups but couldn’t complete the games before Sunday. “I think we needed that one really bad; no one wants to hear you were close,” Fennelly said. “Even though as a coach
you talk about competing and effort, but at the end of the day, no one really cares about effort unless you’re winning. Tonight was a game where we got off to a good start and just kept playing and that’s a credit to them.”
BEAUTY ANDWrestling THE stays BEAST positive despite frustrating loss By Curran.McLaughlin @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa State gymnasts cheer on teammate Haylee Young during her beam routine Friday at Hilton Coliseum. Young placed first in the all-around in the team’s win against Arizona State.
‘Underdog’ mentality thrives as gymnasts start season on top By Austin.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com The returners from last season’s Iowa State women’s gymnastics team had a bad taste in their mouths at the end of the 2016 season. The team sent one gymnast, Meaghan Sievers, to the NCAA championship but a loss to Kentucky ended the regular season. A lastplace finish in the Big 12 Championship ended the team’s entire season. Then the gymnasts went to work. “Honestly, as a whole team, we worked the hardest we’ve ever worked before in the preseason,” said junior Haylee Young, who finished with the best all-around score in the Cyclones’ victory over Arizona State on Friday. “I thought my freshman year and sophomore year were hard, but this year was a whole new ball game.” The gymnasts were doing
more numbers than they had ever done before, and the conditioning and reps were increased throughout the offseason. Young said the preparation got to the point where it was “mentally draining” for her, but this was also the most prepared she had felt for a meet. The Cyclones took the lead early after the first transition and never looked back despite distractions. The annual simultaneous wrestling and gymnastics meet “Beauty and the Beast” actually helped focus his team, coach Jay Ronayne said. The meet began with a hype video, a new experience for the gymnasts. Multi-colored smoke fazed over the entrance while a gymnast was hooked to the right and left arm of every starting wrestler as the athletes were introduced. “It’s very loud, but for me, that fuels me and it gives me a lot of adrenaline so I love it,” Sievers said.
It was a big event well suited for a big win for a team that feels it has something to prove. “It was a really crappy ending to [last] season,” Ronayne said. “They trained really, really, really hard in the summer time and last semester. They’re hungry for success.” At the awards ceremony after the meet, Young’s name was called for her first-place finish in the uneven bars, and she stood up and accepted flowers from the kid captain of the meet. Then she did it again for her first-place floor finish. And again for her first place for the balance beam. And again, for a final time, for the highest scorer allaround on a Cyclone team that received the 40th most points in the preseason NCAA poll. “She’ll be stepping up to the winner’s podium often,” Ronayne said. “That’s her expectation, but that’s mine too.”

Cyclone fans at Hilton Coliseum had to move their eyes back and forth across the arena floor Friday night, but not for a basketball game. Friday night featured Iowa State wrestling’s Beauty and the Beast dual against No. 20 Arizona State. With gymnasts covered in chalk and spandex competing in the distance, No. 9 Lelund Weatherspoon looked to redeem himself against No. 4 Zahid Valencia. Weatherspoon had lost to Valencia twice this season, most recently in the Midlands finals, where he lost by major decision to the undefeated Sun Devil. Weatherspoon wrestled a better match this time around but still couldn’t conquer the 174-pounder, losing by decision, 5-2. Despite the loss, there was much more to be taken away from the match for coach Kevin Jackson. “I think he’s closed the gap,” Jackson said. “If you can say Valencia is in the hunt to be a national champion, if Lelund changes a couple of things, he’s in the hunt to be a national champion.” Jackson had a handful of positives to take away from the 25-19 loss to the Sun Devils but didn’t hide his displeasure in the performance from his wrestlers. “We just didn’t wrestle hard enough,” Jackson said. “I think the guys know they’re better than that.” Jackson felt that his team could have jumped out to a four-win advantage with the

dual starting at 125. With No. 16 Markus Simmons coming back into the lineup, followed by No. 10 Earl Hall, Jackson expected John Meeks and Chase Straw to win their swing matches. Simmons and Hall didn’t disappoint, as Simmons scored a fall in 1:30 and Hall got a 14-4 major-decision. Straw was beaten by tech fall and Meeks sluggishly lost 3-2. Arizona State would go on to win the next three weight classes and put the dual away with Austyn Harris beating Marcus Harrington by a 3-2 decision at 197. Jackson expressed how the team was tired of getting disappointed but he will continue to try and keep positive. Hall, who said he’s always looking to put on a show, also knows he has to focus on doing the best to get bonus points for the team. “[I have to] go out there and dominate,” Hall said. “[I have] to lock down the situation.” Hall proved that by recording five takedowns in
his match, which echoes a goal that is always in the back of his head. “That’s not enough,” Hall said. “I always want to try and 30-15 somebody, that’s my goal.” 184-pounder Pat Downey shared a similar sentiment that night, beating Conner Small 19-7 in his first match back since breaking his rib at the Cyclone Open in November. “Legs were a little heavy, felt a little congested,” Downey said. “But I felt good ’cause I didn’t feel my rib at all. That was my main concern.” Downey hadn’t had much time back on the mat before the meet, only getting a chance to wrestle Wednesday and Thursday. Downey said he mostly ran the last couple of weeks. Having Downey back will be a boost for the Cyclones moving forward. “It just shows his competitive nature,” Jackson said. “[This] shows that he’s a true competitor, no matter how he feels, he’s going to go out there and try to wrestle and try to win.”

Marching band wins national award Sudler Trophy awarded to varsity band By Emily.Barske @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State University Cyclone Football “Varsity” Marching Band was awarded the 2017-2019 Sudler Trophy from the John Philip Sousa Foundation, recognizing it as one of the nation’s top marching bands. The award is presented biannually to a marching band that shows the highest musical standards and innovative marching routines, in addition to advancing performance standards over a period of years, according to an Iowa State press release. “We are both humbled and excited to be awarded the Sudler Trophy,” said Steven Smyth, associate director of
bands since 2011. “On behalf of all of our members, it’s a thrill to see the band recognized at this level. This is as close to a national championship as it gets for college marching bands, and we’ll be celebrating for the next two years.” The band will display the trophy in both Jacobsen Building and Music Hall on campus. The “traveling trophy,” which weighs 80 pounds, was designed by the same artist who made the Heisman Trophy, according to the Iowa State News Service. The band, which was established in 1881, now has 362 members including musicians, a feature twirler and color guard who perform at all home football games and other special events at the university.
What makes us different By Emily.Hammer @iowastatedaily.com A year and a half ago, Jennifer Krienert received news that changed the lives of herself and her family: her son was diagnosed with two different eye disorders. Jennifer’s son, Rory, who was only 1-year-old at the time, had a combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium as well as strabismus. Because of these disorders, Rory has decreased visual acuity and his eyes don’t always look in the same direction. He will have to wear an eye patch until he is 9. But Jennifer and Rory didn’t let this get them down, and instead they put a positive spin on the recent diagnosis. Jennifer started a company called Rock Your Different instead of creating a GoFundMe or YouCaring. Rock Your Different is a clothing company that works to celebrate “what makes us different.” Jennifer, an Iowa State alumna of 2000, said that at the beginning, it was tough to understand her son’s diagnoses. Her family was told Rory wouldn’t be able to play sports or be a police officer, among other things. But as they did their research, they found there were plenty of professional sports players who also suffered from strabismus. This gave them hope and “inspired us to say he could do anything.” “It was nice seeing big athletes that have eye issues and clearly do just fine,” Jennifer said. Now, at 2-and-a-half years old, Rory is still doing well and is used to his eye

patch. He will soon have to go through another surgery, which is Jennifer’s top worry right now. But as she says, it’s a day-to-day process. Despite the concerns, Jennifer is devoting herself to helping her son. Rock Your Different even helps with offsetting the price of Rory’s hospital bills. More than just a way to raise money, Jennifer said that Rock Your Different wants to celebrate people’s differences and empower people who feel different. Ten percent of the profits of Rock Your Different go to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, where Rory has had both of his procedures. “He’s supposed to wear a hat or sunglasses anytime he’s in the sun because the sun affects his eyes,” Jenni-

fer said, responding to what motivated her to start Rock Your Different. Getting Rory to wear a hat that is personalized to him and his disorder is much easier than any old hat, Jennifer explained, and creating the hat escalated into a business. In the two months Jennifer has had Rock Your Different open, she has sold more than 200 shirts and has been able to donate about $250 to the hospital. Many of the designs on the products include an eyepatch as a nod to Rory and his disorders, but there are also several designs that instead involve hearts. Jennifer said these designs are the most popular, but her favorite product is the razorback tank.

POLICE p3 reach Officer Eric Snyder of the Ames Police Department hosts each video. While they all contain different information, Snyder finishes with the same line, “No meeting, class or appointment is worth hurting yourself or someone else. Remember, to give respect, you must earn respect. If we all do our part to travel smart, we can make a difference.” On top of laying out the law, the website includes maps showing which paths are shared use. When the law is discussed, it is sectioned off, labeling what each section applicable to walking, biking or driving is about. Now, the team wants
to do more, and it found inspiration from the University of Colorado at Boulder’s public safety initiative. Its strategy is to get the whole city involved, rather than letting all responsibility fall on the police department. Tuttle said this can be accomplished by reaching out to the Department of Transportation and getting it involved as well. Another key player is parks and recreation, because the police department saw the necessity of these safety practices at the city’s parks. “Our grand idea would be that we would involve public works, CyRide, our local bicycle coalition, and we’d talked to them about
these sorts of things in the past,” Tuttle said. “We would maybe have the department of transportation have some time of involvement with the campaign.” Tuttle also mentioned creating some sort of “close call” reporting mechanism that would likely come in the form of an app. While the department is currently able to evaluate accidents that happen and are reported, it will be able to assess the accidents that almost happen to improve prevention. Tuttle said as the “Bike, Walk, Drive Smart” team looks to move forward, it is reaching out to other cities’ departments as well as looking for feedback with in the Ames community.

HOW IT
HAPPENED Students of Iowa State University can now download Iowa State emojis for the first time. The app, “Iowa State Emojis,” is available for fans in both the iTunes and Google Play stores. The app includes emojis such as Cy, Iowa Statethemed faces with expressions such as heart eyes and winks, and gifs such as the Campanile with floating hearts. The Iowa State Daily, which produced the app in partnership with Fareway Food Stores, said emoji use is a recognizable business trend in social communication. “We work hard every day to expose our student team members to new and exciting business trends,” said Lawrence Cunningham, general manager of the Iowa State Daily Media Group. “The messaging space is an increasingly relevant medium for our audience and the development of these emojis was a great opportunity to extend learning beyond the scope of our traditional platforms. Plus, it was an incredibly fun project for our students to work on, so it was a win-win for our business.” Senior Lauren Anderson, art director at the Iowa State Daily, said the experience of working on the project in the
months before launch was an experience she’d like to replicate in her professional career. “It was cool to work on a project that was kind of like a secret,” Anderson said. “Especially because Iowa State has never done something like this before.” Jeff Stearns, VP of Marketing for Fareway, said the project was a perfect fit for the company, which has a track record of success working with ISU students. Earlier this year, Fareway worked with students at the Iowa State University College of Design to design the brand of its new wholesale business, Midwest Quality Wholesale. The project was just the first of more to come between Fareway and Iowa State. “The emojis were a great opportunity for us to continue expanding our support of experiential learning opportunities for students at Iowa State,” Stearns said. “With the launch of our new website, we’re increasing engagement with our customers in the digital space and it’s exciting to see forward thinking ideas like this come from students.”
