A demand for change

Audience members raise their hands in response to knowledge of a black community center on campus at the Students Against Bigotry discussion Wednesday evening.

ISU administrators admit they misunderstood multicultural struggles By Adam.Sodders @iowastatedaily.com Unsafe. Discriminated. Unwelcome. These are the words used to describe how multiple multicultural students feel on the ISU campus every day. And at the “Discussion on Racism, Diversity, and Inclusion at Iowa State,” a public forum hosted by the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs and Student Government on Wednesday night, they shared just how unwelcome they feel. About 550 ISU students, faculty and staff attended the event, which featured two panels: one of administration and one of multicultural students involved with the group Students Against Bigotry. The administrative panel included President Steven Leath, Senior Vice President for Student Affairs Thomas Hill and Dean of Students Pamela Anthony. The main areas of improvement Students Against Bigotry wished to focus on were safety, academic and empowerment for multicultural students, faculty and staff on campus. “As a community, we need to make an environment where people feel safe enough to report hate crimes,” said Maria Alcivar, graduate student in human development and family studies, who was a member of the Students Against

Bigotry panel. Alcivar discussed ISU Police and its response to the protests and poster-ripping during the Cy-Hawk tailgate Sept. 12. Alcivar tearfully described when a woman at the protest shoved a hand into her face and was told “you don’t belong here,” and little was done in response. “I know they have a difficult job,” Alcivar said. “Every cop does.” But she went on to say that ISU Police failed her that day. Leath said he knew police had checked the protest scene after calls about disparaging remarks, but said no calls were made to the department regarding problems at the demonstration as the day went on. Students Against Bigotry panel members expressed their desire for more diversity within the ISU Police Department. The hiring of more women, ethnic minorities and LBGT officers was one of their suggestions. “We recently expanded the (ISU) police force,” Leath said, adding that 18 percent of the force is made up of ethnic minorities and LBGT community members. Another 21 percent, he said, were women. Students on the panel also gave anecdotes from their time at Iowa State when they faced racism, sexism and other intolerant acts.

“I have to admit, my freshman year [at Iowa State] was hell,” said Jazmin Murguia, senior in journalism and mass communication. She said her first roommate made her halloween costume a “Mexican costume,” and used multiple negative stereotypes, such as a mustache. “I didn’t know how to respond to that,” Murguia said, and that she felt uncomfortable in the situation. Nautalia Black of Advance Services, spoke about her experience as an African American in the LGBTQA+ community. “You see the color of my skin, but you don’t know what it’s like to be black and lesbian,” said Nautalia Black of Advance Services. She presented her grievances in spoken-word poetry. “Freshman year, [I] found the words ‘n----- d---’ written on my door,” Black said. “Why can’t [people] see that racism is so much more than Confederate flags and white hoods?” Leath, Hill and Anthony listened to the experiences of the panel members and gave their responses to the students’ concerns. “I’m here for you, Tom’s here for you and Pamela’s here for you,” Leath said to the students. “We need to really look at our campus culture.”

Pollard, Hoiberg refute Ames Tribune By Max.Dible and Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Travis Hines, a reporter for the Ames Tribune, made waves Wednesday when he published a story detailing what he described as an “at-times troubled relationship” between the ISU basketball team and the ISU Athletic Department during Fred Hoiberg’s fiveyear tenure as head coach. Hoiberg left the program in June for a head coaching job with the NBA’s Chicago Bulls, signing a five-year deal worth $25 million to captain a team for which he once played professionally. The lucrative nature of the position, combined with its rarity, appeared the primary factors for Hoiberg’s leap to the next level. But the recent article from The Ames Tribune suggests that a rocky relationship with the ISU Athletic Department, namely ISU Athletic Director Jamie Pollard, at the very least helped push Hoiberg out of Ames. The article suggests that the men’s basketball team was “nickel and dimed” by Pollard and the athletic department repeatedly. In a radio interview conducted Wednesday afternoon, Hoiberg took exception to the insinuations.

“I have absolutely zero issues with how [Pollard] ran our basketball program. I have a great relationship with Jamie,” Hoiberg said on KXNO-AM. “For somebody to try to paint one of the reasons I left Iowa State [as being] because of how our basketball program was handled is absolutely false.” The story also describes an incident in December 2013 after the team won the championship at the Diamond Head Classic tournament in Hawaii. One anonymous source claims that the team went without hotel rooms in order to save the athletic department from paying an extra night’s rate while it waited to return home. Hoiberg disputed the incident, however, saying that it wasn’t an issue and was misrepresented in the story. “We had to find five hours of stuff to do in Hawaii, big deal,” Hoiberg said on KXNO-AM. “My twins were going out and swimming in the pools with the players. It was a really fun thing to watch them interact with our players. It’s not a big deal.” Questions have been raised by Pollard as well as other skeptics about the reporting that went into the Tribune’s story, which cited “near double-digit sources” depicting the rift between Pollard

and Hoiberg, all of whom were quoted anonymously. While the nature of the information is highly sensitive — potentially lending itself to a necessity of anonymity for those who provided it — Pollard’s primary question is simple. Why quote nearly 10 sources anonymously and then choose not to include Hoiberg when he was willing to go on record refuting what those sources claimed? Hines said he reached out to Hoiberg on several occasions and received no reply. But Pollard said he first learned about the article during the week of the Iowa State and Iowa football game after Hoiberg informed ISU athletic department spokesperson Mike Green that Hines had contacted him. Pollard then referenced a conversation he had with Hoiberg at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, the day before the article ran in the Tribune, saying that Hoiberg called him from his car as he drove to his first practice with the Bulls. During that conversation, Pollard said Hoiberg directly refuted Hines’ claims in the story that Hoiberg was “unavailable” for comment. The following quotes attrib-

U.S. Congress avoids second shutdown By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Hours before the federal government’s legal authority to spend money was set to lapse at midnight Thursday, Congress passed a shortterm spending bill Wednesday to avert a government shutdown. It had been unclear for the past several weeks if Congress would be able to pass a spending bill amid hard-line conservative opposition to funding Planned Parenthood. The U.S. Senate passed funding until mid-December on a vote of 78-20. The House passed an identical version 277-151. “The American people deserve better, which is why Congress passed a budget that balances,” said U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa. “Congress must work together in an open and collaborative dialogue to find the best path forward in order to ensure the government runs efficiently and effectively.” Ernst said Congress needed to pass the “clean” funding bill, even though she supported the plan to defund Planned Parenthood. U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa,

The Student Government Senate voted down a bill that would have affected the way student organizations request funding from the governing body at Wednesday’s meeting. With a vote of 14 to 21, the Senate failed to pass a bill that would eliminate a bylaw that restricts student organizations from requesting funding from the Student Government under specific circumstances. Vice Speaker Michael Snook said student organizations are not currently allowed to ask for funding from both Student Government and its college constituency councils. This current bill, he said, would do away with that. “I don’t see why we should exclude a certain portion of constituency councils in regards to funding,” he said, pointing out organizations can currently receive funding from both housing constituency councils and Student Government. Snook said it will take some effort on the Senate’s part to educate constituency councils that this does not open the flood gates because not every organization will be eligible for funding. The bill to fund Iowa State Singers was tabled indefinitely with a unanimous vote. Grant Luther, the vice president of Iowa State Singers, said the group was invited to perform in Carnegie Hall in New York City as the premiere choir during Easter weekend. “We’re just asking for any help we can get so everyone would be able to go on the trip and not have any financial trouble at all,” Luther said. The Senate also passed a bill by a vote of 37 to 0 to fund the Iranian Students and Scholars Association, which requested $1,675 for a Nowruz event. The Senate passed a bill by a vote of 30 to 6 to fund ISU Bowling, which requested $3,092.55. A bill unanimously passed that funded the Puerto Rican Student Association $1,275 for a Puerto Rican Cultural Night. PRSA is hosting the event, which is meant to share the group’s culture with the Ames and ISU community.

who was also opposed to any funding of Planned Parenthood, introduced four amendments to the spending bill earlier in the day. The amendments would defund Planned Parenthood, the Iran nuclear deal, President Obama’s immigration initiatives and the Affordable Care Act. King’s amendments were not added to the bill, and he voted against the final short-term spending bill. “The American people are expecting leadership from the House of Representatives on the issues they care about the most,” King said. U.S. Reps. David Young, Republican from the 3rd District, and Dave Loebsack, Democrat from the 2nd Distirct, both voted for the bill, while U.S. Rep. Rod Blum, Republican from the 1st District, voted against it. 2016 presidential candidates Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham missed the Senate vote record because of campaign activities. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, who are also running for president, voted against the bill. Negotiations for a long-term spending bill are expected to begin.

Alum talks Ebola By Sarah.Muller @iowastatedaily.com Former United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Chief Information Officer Steven VanRoekel will be on campus Thursday to discuss an epidemic that has faded from the news: ebola. While acting as the USAID chief information officer, VanRoekel’s responsibilities included advising the agency on using technology and data to help combat the ebola epidemic. VanRoekel will be pre-

senting “Battling Ebola: How Technology is Transforming the Response to Global Epidemics,” at 8 p.m. Thursday in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union. After graduating from Iowa State in management of information systems, VanRoekel worked his way up to leading the digital communications programs at USAID. He did so while maintaining the position of managing director of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

He supervised all technical, operational, financial and human resources of the agency. After USAID and the FCC, VanRoekel worked at the White House serving as the Chief Information Officer of the United States before returning to USAID. The lecture is a part of the Redefining Global Security series and is cosponsored by College of Business, the College of Veterinary Medicine, World Affairs and the Committee on Lectures.

Kevin Hart will perform at Hilton By Parker.Reed @iowastatedaily.com American comedian Kevin Hart will be making a stop at in Ames at 8 p.m. Sunday at Hilton Coliseum as a part of his international “What Now” tour. Tickets are $25 with a student ID and $65 for the public. Tickets can be purchased at the ISU Athletics Ticket Office or online via Ticketmaster. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show will start at 8 p.m. Hart has headlined many comedy tours, beginning in 2009 with “I’m a Grown Little Man” and “Seriously Funny” in 2010. 2011’s “Laugh at my Pain” grossed over $15 million, making it one of the most successful comedy tours of the year.

2013 saw the release of “Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain” into theaters which featured Hart’s 2012 performance at Madison Square Garden. Hart began his standup career in his hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, performing at a variety of smaller clubs under the name “Lil Kev,” which was not very successful, being booed offstage multiple times. Hart has cited many influences including Chris Tucker and even Bill Cosby, according to an interview with the Chicago Tribune. Along with his comedy career, Hart has starred in many successful comedy films, including “The Wedding Ringer” and “Get Hard” earlier this year and 2014’s “Ride Along,” which grossed

Knitting Class

over $154 million. Hart has been a part of many television shows, appearing with small roles in “Modern Family” and “Workaholics.” He was also a co-creator of “Real Husbands of Hollywood” and recently hosted two episodes of “Saturday Night Live” and the “Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber.” Hart will star in the upcoming theatrical comedies “Ride Along 2” and “Central Intelligence” in 2016. The “What Now” tour began in April earlier this year in Oklahoma City and will continue until March of next year, ending in South Africa. The tour brings the American comedian all around the world, including stops in Australia, Malaysia and Sweden.

Design students carve out passion By Ashley.Green @iowastatedaily.com Design students can be spotted easily around campus by their enormous black bags, but others may not know about the work that goes into filling those bags. They’re known to have some of the heaviest workloads in the university, thanks to highly competitive programs. It could be considered lucky to spy them outside of their studios. Their reputation for spending large amounts of time holed up in the studio isn’t necessarily true; they’re still college students trying to find a healthy balance of school, clubs and social life. “If you want to be in a major in design it’s kind of a given that it’s one of your passions, but it’s not necessarily going to be your only passion,” said Jessie Laughridge, sophomore in architecture. Cale Unzicker, sophomore in architecture, has always known what he’s wanted to do with his life. “I feel like I’ve always been more imaginative, so making my own little spaces of living, my own little worlds, kind of, would be cool,” Unzicker said. “Actually being in the major so far this year has wholeheartedly reinforced it. It just feels right.” Unzicker was in the pre-design program before he moved to the architecture program. This is when he and other designers first experienced all of the time necessary to devote to a

major in the College of Design. Time spent in studios lasts several hours, and if it isn’t used effectively, days and nights could get mixed together.Unzicker believes his current work in the architecture program is more comprehensive, but the difficulty level has also increased compared with pre-design. “[In pre-design], you’re starting out so things are going to be easy for you. You don’t have as harsh of restrictions and expecta-

tions,” he said. Unzicker said in the beginning of the architecture program, he had an ubiquitous feeling of “I don’t know what I’m doing.” “It makes it hard to kind of keep up and feel secure about your work because you don’t know if it’s right,” Unzicker said. “And that’s the thing, there’s a lot of different ways of being right in this college.” The style of assignments change with specialization. In pre-design,

assignments incorporate different genres of design. The architecture program places a greater focus on technicalities, though it can still be abstract and creative. The amount of work stays roughly the same throughout the experience. Time is a major factor, and it’s easily wasted with a hazy idea of right and wrong. Students, such as Laughridge, accept this as an unavoidable part of the major. “Because it is one of your passions you have to

make sacrifices sometimes by saying like, ‘Alright, I can’t go and do this with my friends tonight, I really have to get this work done,’ but I think that’s true with any major,” Laughridge said. Design students choose how much time they want to spend in the studio outside of what is required to some extent, but they’d sometimes rather be in the studio than anywhere else. “We’re all in here so often that your studio becomes your family,” Unzicker said of the phenomenon. A lot of weeding out takes place in design. Design students who end up dropping out of the program typically do so before they get into a specific program. “You kind of feel bad when it’s someone you know who does [drop out],” Unzicker said. “I feel like it’s kind of strengthening because they didn’t make it but you did.” The students who stay feel the rewards. “Me, personally, coming to the studio and experiencing everything we do daily, it just kind of revives me a little,” Unzicker said. “Those in-class critiques that many, many other people might hate or fear, I personally think are riveting.” Architecture students also regularly take field trips to gain exposure, and second-year students recently returned from a trip to Kansas City, Mo. “We kind of get to see what life might look like after graduation by visiting different firms,” Laughridge said.

Student clubs move forward on women’s rights By Kyndal.Reimer @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State offers many of clubs and organizations that relate to all the unique passions of ISU students. When it comes to women’s issues, the university offers three different choices to get students involved. The Society for the Advancement of Gender Equity What is its mission? What began as a group of students volunteering to help with the annual “The Vagina Monologues” has morphed into its own active organization. The society’s mission statement is to “advocate for feminist goals and gender equity issues ... through a feminist lens.” The group emphasizes the importance of awareness as well as activeness. Why does its cause matter? “This group and what it stands for is extremely important because it’s 2015, but we still have so many social injustices, especially involving women,” said Me-

gan Frisvold, sophomore in global resource systems and co-president of the society. What is it doing to make a difference? The group meets weekly to discuss in a safe and supportive setting. The society also volunteers, hosts movie nights and is involved in events such as the “The Vagina Monologues,” Feminist Fridays and Take Back the Night. The group helped amend the ISU sexual assault policy by pointing out issues and suggesting how to restructure and rewrite the policy. How to get involved: “Anyone is welcome at [the Society for the Advancement of Gender Equity]. In fact, the more diversity the better,” said Collin Powell, junior in interior design and co-president of SAGE. Email the co-presidents at frisvold@iastate.edu for Frisvold or cdpowell@iastate.edu for Powell. Check out the Facebook page or show up for meetings to get involved. ISU HeForShe What is its mission? Iowa State’s HeForShe or-

ganization is an affiliate of the worldwide HeForShe movement that was introduced by UN Woman. The organization engages men in the mission of gender equality and women’s rights. It aims to “spread awareness and spark action on the responsibility that men and boys have in eliminating all forms of genderbased discrimination and violence against women and girls,” according to the ISU HeForShe website. Why does its cause matter? “This is important because a serious misunderstanding exists in the world that this is strictly a woman’s issue,” said Samantha Martin, senior in financial counseling and planning and treasurer of ISU HeForShe. “It’s a humankind issue, affecting both men and women. In order to better everyone, we need men’s help.” What is it doing to make a difference? “Students will have the opportunity to contribute with the movement for gender equality by crafting a shared vision of human

progress for all, according to the ISU HeForShe organization’s website. “Moreover, students will learn about the topic, serve as advocates and inspire people to take action.” The group has bimonthly meetings and is still organizing specifics. How to get involved: Email the officers or contact the organization through its Facebook page. The Womyn of Colour Network What is its mission? “[The mission is to] empower and validate women and women of color in their experiences as well as promote diversity on campus,” said Britney Williams, junior in kinesiology and health and secretary of the Womyn of Colour Network. The organization was established in 2011 by graduate students, Ph.D. students and faculty members after they attended a women’s leadership conference and were appalled by the lack of diversity in the presentations. As a reaction, the women organized

a retreat and the group was established. Why does its cause matter? “I’m in a sorority and a lot of different spaces on campus, but this is the one space where I feel like I can really discuss these issues into depth,” Williams said. “It’s empowering to be around other women of color and talk about my experiences with those who share similar backgrounds.” Williams also said Iowa State has a diversity issue and minority voices need to be heard. What is it doing to make a difference? The group meets biweekly to discuss topic-based issues such as privilege. If students see a problem on campus, these meetings allow them bring it to attention, talk it out and brainstorm solutions with fellow club members. The group intends to do more activities beyond the meetings. How to get involved: Show up to a meeting, email any of the officers or contact the group through the Facebook page.

Harrisvaccines’ bird flu vaccine is making progress.

Bird flu meets its match By Elizabeth.Hergert @iowastatedaily.com Harrisvaccines, housed in the ISU Research Park, is helping fight avian influenza, and its work has recently been recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture. Harrisvaccines has been granted a conditional license from the USDA for the company’s avian influenza vaccine. This is the first conditional license for the avian influenza that has killed more than 48 million birds since spring 2015. A conditional license is used to deal with emergencies or when no vaccines are available. The product must show an expectation of efficacy, safety and potency. Harrisvaccines received a conditional license in 2014 for a porcine epidemic diarrhea vaccine. Joel Harris, head of sales and marketing for Harrisvaccines, said this helped put the company on the “fast track for approval” this time around. Harrisvaccines had already been through similar procedures from a previous year and easily met the criteria. Although the vaccine cannot be sold until it receives authorization from the USDA, a vaccine stockpile has been created. “The USDA doesn’t know if [it] will use it,” said Dr. James Roth, distinguished professor in vet microbiology and preventive medicine. “The virus is gone, but it might come back in fall.” The conditional license would allow an immediate USDA licensed product to be available on the market. SirraVax, the technology used to create the vaccine, is unique and efficient. It uses a synthetic version of the virus’ genetic code to make the vaccine. “This is a further validation of the power of technology,” Harris said in regard to SirraVax. Harris said the licensing is a big step in terms of the poultry industry. The ability to vaccinate quickly is essential. Harrisvaccines was formed in 2005 and has a USDA-licensed production facility located in the ISU Research Park.

Iowa State is clearly uneducated

Columnist Fitten argues that while House Speaker John Boehner’s, R-Ohio, time in office has led to little progress, the people and events that come after Boehenr steps down are what should concern Americans. Boehner announced last Friday that he will resign at the end of October.

Boehner’s legacy: Futile fights House speaker’s presence has helped, harmed the United States By Khayree.Fitten @iowastatedaily.com

he political fallout and narrative of House Speaker John Boehner’s, R-Ohio, resignation has been filled with misleading criticism and misguided praise. While the legacy of his speakership will be in dispute for some time, Boehner’s presence has been both a benefit and a detriment to our country. So-called conservatives have taken great joy in Boehner’s departure. After years of being foremost among his critics, members of the Tea Party are hopeful that the next leader will be a true believer and fighter for their cause. Yet their critiques of the speaker could not be further from the truth. The Republican Party of 2010 — pre-Boehner — was destitute and broken, having fought and lost on Obamacare, Wall Street reform, the stimulus and deficit spending. Under Boehner, Republicans were able to halt the president’s agenda. Sequestration and austerity measures helped shrink the deficit against Obama’s will. The speaker scheduled dozens of votes to attempt to repeal Obamacare. And, in unprecedented fashion, Boehner extended an invitation to a foreign leader to address Congress without White House consultation. Additionally, Boehner led Republicans to unprecedented judicial victories against the overreach of the executive branch. Congressional Republicans

and their allies have fought executive actions on immigration, environmental regulations and, again, on Obamacare to great success. Boehner built the largest conservative majority in the House since before World War II. This is an astounding feat considering the continued unpopularity of the Republican Party and its antics during the last few years. Anyone who believes John Boehner hasn’t been fighting Obama since day one isn’t paying attention. The speaker has done everything within reason — and then some — to fight for his party. He amassed Republican majorities, stalled and stopped Obama’s legislative agenda and even gathered token legislative successes. All while Democrats were in power in the Senate during his first four years and the White House the entire time. That being said, during his five years as speaker, Boehner provided plenty of fodder to question his virtue. He single-handedly obstructed comprehensive immigration reform, walked away from budget talks with Obama and stood by idly while Ted Cruz and associates shut down the government in 2013. Had the speaker taken a stand on these issues, 11 million immigrants could have begun contributing to our economy beyond the shadows, and Social Security would have been able to meet its obligations to future generations. Yes, his speakership would have been at risk with these compromises, but Boehner would have accomplished once-in-a-generation progress and

been heralded with praise worthy of his office. Instead Boehner engendered a stagnant and repressive congressional culture of low expectations. Once the exception, funding the government at the 11th hour now inspires congratulations and celebrations. The speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives was at the whim of conservative extremists, bullied into shutdowns and near defaults. Even the recent controversy with Planned Parenthood is telling of Boehner’s leadership. He allowed a legitimate debate to be overrun with falsehoods and doctored videos, to the point where it cost him his job. Derision toward Boehner should focus on his inability to sacrifice on issues of true significance, and not his ability to fight. The people and events that come after Boehner’s departure should now concern us. Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is widely expected to receive a promotion, and his eight years in Congress will make him the least experienced speaker in more than a century. McCarthy has never led a congressional committee or authored legislation of significance. He is only the heir apparent because of Eric Cantor’s inability to win a primary. In announcing his bid to become speaker, McCarthy promised to “lead the fight” for conservatism. This will surely be welcome news to conservative extremists, while the rest of the country will be asking, with 15 months left in the Obama presidency, how much fighting is there to do?

App offers sex education in modern light By JoEllen.Keenan @iowastatedaily.com University of Tennessee graduates hope to launch a new app, Hookup, this November, with the intended purpose to provide sexual education for today’s tech-savvy youth. The app provides an anonymous platform for teens to ask questions and get answers from experts and volunteers. It addition to Q&As, the app will provide informative games, how-to videos, information regarding the nearest clinics or health professionals, a “Share your Story” portion that allows users to read and share anonymous stories about different sexual experiences and the ability to compare knowledge with someone else. The goal of this app is to reach out to teens who have questions and who are not finding the right answers through a Google search and hearsay that circulates among U.S. youth. The app also provides sexual education in a fun, accessible way with instant answers to all questions. Although the app is somewhat controversial when it comes to how much information

is available to teens, it is one of the most innovative and effective ways for them to make educated decisions and protect themselves informatively. Brianna Rader, who led the University of Tennessee students, was quoted on Mic.com saying the “mobile app allows students to get all the information they need from their phones, which they are constantly on anyway.” This is so true. Teens and young adults are known for their obsession with technology — their phones are the driving force behind this stereotype. Our generation has it’s nose in a cell phone at every turn, so why not start a sex-education revolution that will provide desperately needed answers for a generation deeply involved in other aspects of the sexual self. Because apps like Tinder and Grindr are gracing the screens on devices of students, educating them on how to have a safe sex life is crucial. The disapproving individuals are generally the ones who believe the best sexual education provided is the kind where abstinence until marriage is the only option. They believe edu-

cating the public about sex will only lead to more problems and more sex. This is not the first example of a closed-minded idea when it comes to sex. This same ideology is what prompted married women to be allowed to have birth control in the early 1900s while single women were not. The belief was that preventing them access to birth control would keep them from having sex. This notion sounds completely backward today, and this generation is demonstrating how having abstinence as a way of preventing sex is just as illogical. A study done at Columbia University shows that virginity pledge programs increase pledge-takers’ risk for STIs and pregnancy. The study found that 88 percent of pledge takers initiated sex before marriage even though some delayed sex for a while. Rates of STIs among pledge-takers and non-pledgers were similar, even though pledge-takers later initiated sex. Pledge-takers were less likely to seek STI testing and less likely to use contraception when they did have sex. This shows that when we avoid and push aside sexual education and replace it with an

unrealistic idea that teens and young adults should forfeit sex, we are forcing kids to make uneducated and dangerous sexual decisions. Telling young adults to not have sex until marriage is not what we should be doing. We should be educating them and sending them out into the world with the knowledge necessary to be safe. Research has identified highly effective sex education that has long-term impacts, including lower STI and/or pregnancy rates. Educated young adults are smarter young adults. Hookup has set out to provide fun and accurate sexual education. Teens and young adults these days use the Internet to seek out answers. This can lead to misinformation from faulty websites, and in turn, result in poor decisions. People deserve to know about sex and its dangers. They need to know about all the health risks it presents and how to have safe sex. They need a platform to ask their questions. They need to learn to be open and informed about sexual health. Hookup provides all of this in a fun, accepting and convenient environment.

Iowa State is ignorant. Ignorant to issues affecting a large portion of its student population. The ISU Community Multicultural Discussion open forum that took place Wednesday night uncovered the fact that portions of the ISU administration, faculty, staff and student body are essentially blind to harassment and discrimination the multicultural and minority population on campus experience. The panel was brought on in response to the Sept. 12 football game, where a woman ripped a Trump protester’s poster after a “white supremacy” comment; however, it was not the sole reason for the event. It just happened to be the final straw on top of the pile of daily, random injustices and discrimination multicultural and minority students, faculty and staff experience on this campus on a regular basis. Though this event was more than unfortunate, it is not an isolated event. The fact this panel happened only after multicultural student organizations persisted endlessly is an unsettling insight to how the community is ignored on campus. Numerous multicultural students courageously shared their personal encounters with racial aggression to a crowd that fully filled the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. Hearing Maria Alcivar tell head administration that somebody shoved her face and told her, “You don’t belong here,” was enraging. Enraging in both the fact it happened but also that nothing was done. This community clearly needs to be educated. The fact people on this campus say things like “you don’t belong here” or “where are you really from?” is, frankly, appalling and disturbing. Education is the first step. Leath said multiple times he was unaware of the extent to which students were experiencing these unsettling discriminations. While it is difficult for Leath to know about every single thing that happens to an ISU student, and students are in part responsible for voicing negative experiences, it is on the administration’s shoulders to seek out these students to make sure they feel safe and that discriminatory incidents are addressed. “We’ve missed the mark on creating an environment where individuals feel comfortable enough to talk about what’s going on,” said Senior Vice President for Student Affairs Tom Hill. And because of that, students feel unsafe, discriminated against and unwelcome. College is supposed to serve as a second home. How can it serve as a second home if students have to worry about being called derogatory names or being yelled at to “go home” when they are walking to class or getting on an elevator? While the university boasts a multicultural center, multicultural and international clubs and organizations, financial and other services on campus, it’s clear from students’ reactions that the services are either under-promoted or under-supported. You can say, “we’ll work on it”, “we want to address it”, “we want to hear your suggestions” all you want. But until Iowa State takes to heart what students, faculty and staff are saying, until administration creates a multicultural ISU Police liaison officer, implements safe-zone training or thinks about creating a campus representative to a greater population, we cannot falter. We, as an ISU community, cannot let the issue fall by the wayside. It cannot be a brief blip in the ever-changing news cycle. So, share your stories, share your concerns and hold the university accountable.

ISU volleyball continues ‘Libero U’ legacy By Garrett.Kroeger @iowastatedaily.com Just as the ISU men’s basketball team is considered “Transfer U” to some around the nation, the ISU volleyball team could be considered “Libero U.” A libero is a team’s rearmosst defensive specialist . In 2001, the Big 12 conference decided to give out an award for the best libero of the year. Seven years passed until an ISU libero finally achieved the honor. Ever since, the team has dominated the award. “If you are a good libero in high school and/or club volleyball, you are told to take a look at Iowa State,” said ISU volleyball coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. Since 2008, the libero position has been the Cyclones’ forte. The stem of ISU libero greatness goes back to Katie Churm, the starting libero just before Iowa State put out a string of award-winning liberos. Churm was the libero who Johnson-Lynch and her staff inherited once they arrived in Ames. She turned out to be outstanding under Johnson-Lynch in her final two years of college. In 2005, JohnsonLynch’s first season and Churm’s junior year, Churm led the Big 12 in digs per set at 4.35. She finished her final season with 3.99 digs per set, placing her seventh in the Big 12. Although Churm would never claim the Big 12 Libero of the Year, certain aspects of her game were present, making her worthy of credit for starting the “Libero U” tradition. “She was very simple, she just passed the ball where it needed to be,” said ISU assistant coach Dawn Sullivan.

Emily Blobaum/Iowa State Daily

Caitlin Nolan, senior and former Big 12 -Libero-of-the-Year winner, and sophomore Branen Berta wait for the ball to be served during their game against Nebraska on Sept. 19. Liberos have been a key component to Iowa State’s defense in 2015.

Once Churm departed from Ames, Iowa State finally brought in the libero who kicked off the run Big 12-Libero-of-the-Year award winners — Ashley Mass. In 2007, Mass’ freshman year, she shattered the freshman digs record by posting 532 digs that season — 173 digs better than the previous record. Then she grew leaps and bounds heading into her sophomore season. Mass broke the school record for digs in a season, became the fastest player to 1,000 digs and had the most matches with at least 10-plus digs in a season. “She was a very simple passer and read the game better than most players,” Sullivan said. Mass’ impressive season helped her earn the first of many Big 12-Libero-of-

the-Year awards. She would go on to win the award in her junior and senior seasons as well. And at the end of Mass’ career, she became the Big 12 record holder for career digs. But the Cyclones’ libero tradition didn’t stop there, as they had the next great libero on the roster during Mass’ senior year. “(Mass) taught me a lot about being patient and playing relaxed,” said former Cyclone Kristen Hahn in an interview with the Daily in 2013. Hahn took over the libero position in 2011 once Mass graduated. And her play proved as successful as Mass’. In Hahn’s first season as a starter, she led the Big 12 with 5.44 digs per set in 2011, earning her Big 12 Libero of the Year. “[Iowa State] told me

I could be a Big 12-Liberoof-the-Year winner,” Hahn said in 2013. Hahn did just that, plus more. Just like Mass, Hahn would follow up winning the Big 12-Libero-of-theYear her sophomore year and become the second player in Big 12 history to win the award three times. Hahn won 17 straight Big 12-defensive-playerof-the-week awards, a conference record, her junior season. Hahn was also the first libero in Big 12 history to be named a unanimous All-Big 12 honoree twice. “She was great defensively, got a lot of digs and she knew exactly where to be defensively,” Sullivan said. Iowa State would replace Hahn with another talented libero, Caitlin Nolan. Nolan had the oppor-

tunity to shadow Hahn for two years, which allowed her to soak in some of Hahn’s tendencies. “I learned a lot from her,” Nolan said. “She taught me how to be a good, competitive leader for this team.” Nolan excelled in her first year as the main ISU libero as a first-team All-Big 12 honoree, extending Iowa State’s streak of winning Big 12 Libero of the Year to seven straight years. Nolan even set an ISU match record with 43 digs against Kansas last year. Now, in her senior season, Nolan is averaging 5.6 digs per set, ranking her No. 1 in the Big 12 and No. 6 in the NCAA. All three ISU liberos — Mass, Hahn and Nolan — are the only three liberos in Big 12 history to be unanimous Preseason All-Big 12

Lynch identified what traits made these three liberos so talented. “[Mass, Hahn and Nolan] were all different in the ways they played the libero position,” Johnson-Lynch said. “But they all strived toward greatness, which ultimately allowed them to achieve that honor.” Coming out of high school, not all potential recruits will have what it takes to be the top libero in the Big 12, but Iowa State looks for a few specific traits in each libero recruit. “Passing is a key thing that we look for, we also look for court presences and having the willingness to learn,” Sullivan said. Nolan’s time at Iowa State will soon pass by, and Iowa State will need to search for a new libero to take over. But it won’t have to look far. Sophomore Branen Berta, and freshmen Hali Hillegas and Abby Phillips will compete for the starting libero position in 2016. It seems it will be a tough competition as all three have earned high remarks from past and current liberos. “[Berta] has such a high drive and passion for the game, while [Hillegas] just tries to soak everything in,” Nolan said. Phillips received praise from Hahn. “I could see [Phillips] becoming a Big 12 Libero of the Year winner if she keeps on pushing herself,” Hahn said. Stressing defense is something that Iowa State coaches say is key, making liberos crucial to the team’s strategy. “Here at Iowa State, we have coaches who really stress on defensive techniques and are also very knowledgeable on defense,” Nolan said.

Men’s golf reflects on need for junior golf ranks By Mike.Randleman @iowastatedaily.com In today’s era of professional golf, a youth movement has proliferated the PGA Tour, with the likes of Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy grabbing major championships while still in their early 20s. Sure, Tiger Woods was doing the same at a similar age in the 1990s, but Woods was more of a boy among men compared to the dozens of players in their 20s finding success on the PGA Tour today. Six of the last eight major championships have been won by players in their 20s, and only 11 of 30 players in the field at the Tour Championship last weekend were older than 30. Players’ readiness to compete on the highest levels at earlier ages can be heavily attributed to the strength of competition in the junior ranks. “Growing up, junior golf was massive for me,” said ISU men’s golfer and Australian Ruben Sondjaja, who has professional aspirations of his own. “I played in lots of big junior tournaments. It’s kind of amazing to see how junior golf has developed and progressed over the last few years.” For many golfers looking to get their name out to prospective colleges, the junior golf circuit has become the best way to do so as opposed to traditional high school matches. The American Junior Golf Association and other junior tours have advanced from hosting a handful of tournaments nationwide in a month to several per week for players of nearly

Ruben Sondjaja said junior golf was crucial for him growing up.

all ages around the United States and internationally. “If I just played high school and didn’t play in junior events, I wouldn’t be here,” said ISU golfer Jack Carter. “I’d probably be playing at a smaller school back home that was close. Just getting the exposure of getting across state lines and playing in big tournaments where a lot of good players are going to be is good for recruiting.” Several junior golf rankings exist in calculating the next top prospects. Worldwide and national competition, not unlike what professional golfers experience, has become common, if not expected. For golfers like Sondjaja, traveling around the United States as a Cyclone is old hat for someone who has been cutting his teeth on the international circuit since he was 8 years old. “I did a lot of traveling and learned to travel to places by myself,” Sondjaja said. “Just the knowledge of traveling and what that involves. On my way here, I was already exposed to the things I’d face. Before I came to Iowa State, I was in Europe touring for a month over there.”

The importance of competing outside of your backyard is understood universally in the golf world, but a separation exists in terms of international versus American golfers who come to ISU golf coach Andrew Tank’s program. “I think the international players have maybe come from a little bit more of an environment of a team aspect of things, whether they play for their club team, their state team [or] their national team,” Tank said. High school teams like those in the United States are virtually nonexistent abroad, but a more holistic approach to junior golf is more common. International junior golfers, particularly in golf-oriented nations like Spain, Australia and New Zealand, are more prone to specialization, in which the mental and physical training are joined with golf-specific instruction. Spanish golfers like current ISU golfer Jorge Utrilla and recently-graduated Scott Fernandez come from competing heavily with the Spanish national team, and Sondjaja has captained his junior state team, New South Wales. Tank said more American golfers are starting to receive similar holistic training, and that as a whole, golfers are more polished and ready to compete at the Division I level from the get-go. “I think if you look nationally there’s a lot of freshmen [competing],” Tank said. “These top juniors are stepping right into college golf and competing at the highest levels. I think that’s definitely a result of more competition at a younger age.”

Kansas game offers precursor for remaining Big 12 schedule By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com As many ISU football fans know, teams in the Big 12 Conference like to throw the ball. And those fans also may have seen the Cyclones struggle defending against that strategy last season, finishing with a less-thanstellar pass defense that ranked 123rd in the NCAA in passing yards per play and 122nd in overall passing yards allowed. A year later, after implementing a new scheme and adding an influx of talent, the Cyclones rank in the top 40 in the nation in both of the aforementioned statistics after three games this season. Iowa State’s Big 12 opener this weekend against Kansas, a team that focuses on throwing the ball, gives the Cyclones an interesting precursor for the more productive Big 12 offensive teams like TCU and Baylor. “The Big 12 is wide open, and we all know you have to defend the width as well as the length of the field,” said ISU football

coach Paul Rhoads. “The preparation that goes into that ... is certainly one that is challenging.” Although Kansas ranks in the bottom half of the NCAA in passing yards per game, it still ranks in the top half in passing yards per play. A rough passing game in the loss to Rutgers last weekend didn’t help the Jayhawks either. Even though they struggled to get anything going, the Jayhawks still had a 54.69 percent passing play rate, according to teamrankings. com. Iowa State implemented the new 3-4 defense this season, focusing on limiting big plays through the air — a weakness for the defense in 2014. “[Protecting the pass] is exactly why we switched,” said ISU defensive coordinator Wally Burnham. “We can send four, we can send five in this without switching any personnel.” So far the switch has worked against non-conference opponents with the defense ranking 39th in the nation, allowing 6.1 passing yards per attempt. But Iowa State’s last

two opponents didn’t focus on passing the ball at an effective pace. Iowa ranks 84th in the NCAA, throwing the ball 44.02 percent of the time. Toledo throws the ball 53.15 percent of the time but ranks 98th in the NCAA in passing yards gained. Kansas will be the first real test for the new defense and provide an environment where Iowa State can experiment. “We’ve got some stuff ready for tempo,” Burnham said. “We’re going to try to defend the ball deep because that’s what they’ve done, but everyone always [adds] a new wrinkle for each game. ... But we feel like we are going to be ready.” Iowa State will play Texas Tech on the road after Kansas and then the pass-heavy offenses of TCU and Baylor back to back, making Kansas a good test to gauge the rest of the season. “Yeah, this will help. We haven’t had many teams throw well on us,” said linebacker and captain Levi Peters. “You know Big 12 play, you know how it is.”

Jack Trice documentary up for Midwest Emmy By Malik.Newson @iowastatedaily.com “I consider Jack Trice a hero. He gave everything he had,” said Steve Jones, Trice biographer. B&G Productions and Cyclones.tv came together once again to create a documentary titled “I Will – The Jack Trice Story.” The film has been recognized by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences as one of the two finalists in the Midwest Emmys “Sports Documentary” category. The Midwest Emmys will take place Oct. 3 at the Radisson Blu Hotel at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn. When you first hear about Iowa State, a name often accompanying it is Jack Trice. Whether it be the stadium, the student, the letter he wrote to himself or Trice himself, you have heard his name and maybe even heard about the lega-

Productions quickly began working on projects surrounding the athletic history of Iowa State. These projects included “The Dirty Thirty, A Tradition of Toughness,” “The Fred Hoiberg Show” and “The Paul Rhoads Show.” Grummer said he admired the lore behind Jack Trice, calling the story unique. “We knew how much it meant to [Iowa State], so we naturally had to tell the story again,” Grummer said. “I look at the story as a human story.” After contacting frequent collaborator Cyclones.tv and Tom Kroeschell, director of broadcasting for Cyclones.tv, the company began to work on the documentary. The documentary covers the struggles that Jack Trice went through during the Roaring ‘20s when segregation was the law. The film covers Trice’s life in Cleveland and Hiram, Ohio, to his football

cy he has left on campus. John G. “Jack” Trice became the first AfricanAmerican student-athlete to attend Iowa State College. He was only 21 when he died because of injuries sustained during a football game against the University of Minnesota on Oct. 6, 1923. Trice is often remembered through a letter he wrote to himself the night before the game. Jeff Grummer, coowner of B&G Productions, talked about his part in the legacy of Jack Trice. Grummer and fellow co-owner Rob Bodholdt are both ISU alumni, getting their start with WOI-DT Channel 5 before parting to create their company in 1996. “Most things were done on VHS at the time,” Grummer said, recounting his start with his company. With his new company and a sense of alma mater pride and passion, B&G

prowess and interactions with ISU coach Sam Willaman. The documentary also looks at Trice’s time at Iowa State, his attempt to find a place to live and his fatal game. After asking Grummer about what the Midwest Emmy nomination meant to him and his company, he called the experience humbling and gave credit to Bodholdt and Cyclones.tv for being with him through what he said is a story that will never stop. Grummer also talked about what he thinks Trice would have hoped others learned from this documentary. “I’d hope that [Trice] would feel proud of the legacy he left behind and that, while it was tragic for his friends and family, it made one of the biggest changes to history,” Grummer said. “He deserves so much credit for what he did.” F.

Q: What was it like being on “Last Comic Standing”?

Andy Erikson is a big unicorn fan.

A: It was pretty crazy because it had always been my dream to be on the show. So, while I was there, it was just kind of like be-

are all just getting used to it still. Just sitting on the bus, hanging out with the same people every day. But we have all been getting along very well, so it’s been exciting. I like, I love road trips, so it really has been fun. Q: What made you like unicorns so much? A: When I was little I liked to draw them. For some reason, I remember all the other girls liking horses, and I was like, “Um, unicorns are way better than horses.” So ever since I was little I kind of liked all animals too, but unicorns are like the ones I think are the most magical. So I was kind of drawn to them too. Q: Have you ever felt completely starstruck?

A: Yeah, I went into the bathroom, and I ran into Wanda Sykes. [I] saw her in there, and she was talking to someone, and they wanted to get a picture with her, and she was like, “I don’t do pictures in the bathroom.” And so I just went into the bathroom stall and just kind of stood there, like waiting for her to leave ... But just before she leaves she knocked on my stall and goes, “Hey, you’re funny!” And I just peered my head over the stall and go, “Thank you!” Q: What size audience do you enjoy performing for? A: [T]he bigger the better. If it is sold out, that’s very good. [S]o far we have

done shows anywhere from 500 to 2,000, and you can’t really see anybody really. You can just hear the laughter. To be honest, it doesn’t really matter, just a big crowd is always really fun. I mean, anything over 50, and I’m pretty happy. Q: Do you ever get stage fright? A: Oh yeah, like I still get nervous before every show. Even though I know it’s going to be fine, I just get nervous because you never really know what’s going to happen. And I think it’s just my body preparing to battle. Erikson will continue touring with other members of “NBC’s Last Comic Standing” season nine.

App offers free, legal music access By Emily.Benda @iowastatedaily.com For the typical college student, buying music can be a rare splurge, especially when it is easy to download YouTube videos as MP3 files. But those free download sites can wreak havoc on students’ computers, making the free download option risky. Luckily for ISU students, a safer and cheaper solution is available. Trebel Music is a new download and play app geared toward college stu-

ed to provide a safe option for students who would usually use illegal downloading sites. “We’ve created a download and play app that we’re hoping [will] make the illegal sites totally obsolete,” Mekikian said. To download a song, users simply have to lookup a song on the app and hit the “download for free” button. While the song is downloading, video ads will play. This ensures the artists are compensated for their work. The user will receive coins once the song is downloaded, which serve as the app’s currency. Every time

dents. After testing the app on select campuses, Trebel Music is now available for ISU students. Iowa State was chosen as one of the first 30 campuses to use the app because of its diverse student population and social media habits. Users can create profiles and have followers, similar to a social networking site. The app allows users to see what songs are trending on campus, and users can create and share playlists with their followers. The cost is free. Gary Mekikian, CEO of Trebel Music, said he want-

a user plays a song, some of the virtual currency is spent. Users of the app can conveniently listen to music on their devices without being connected to data or Wi-Fi. The app also automatically imports all iTunes music, so both music libraries are synced on the system. “We wanted to go to campuses that are social media savvy and active,” Mekikian said. “[Iowa State] fit the bill perfectly.” The features Trebel Music provides, from music videos, lyrics or customizing the app’s color scheme, make it unique in comparison with other music pro-

viders, Mekikian said. “We want you to use Pandora and Spotify free,” Mekikian said. “Our app is a perfect companion for those apps. You listen to a song you really love on Pandora and then [you] can come to our system and download it.” The app is available on iPhone and Android devices. Mekikian said a desktop version will be released in early 2016. “If there was a way to transfer [music] onto my computer, I would definitely use [Trebel Music] because I don’t only listen to music on my phone,” said Bethany

work to fix these problems.” Leath said his search for the newly-created position of vice president for diversity and inclusion was one way his administration was working for better inclusion of minorities. “This [vice president for diversity and inclusion] will be there to help fix the issues we’re discussing tonight,” Leath said. “I am counting on this person to make a difference.” Members of Students

Against Bigotry made a list of requests, including safety escort range that extended beyond campus grounds and more emphasis on multicultural student services, to send to administration. Other items included better diversity training for students and faculty, easier access to the Iowa State Conference on Race and Ethnicity and better financial aid to minority students. Students, faculty and staff from the audience were

also able to voice their concerns after the initial panel discussion. “[Leath’s] actions or lack thereof speak volumes,” said Maurice Washington, graduate student in agriculture and biosystems engineering. “There’s rampant white privilege across campus.” Washington said the administration uses George Washington Carver and Jack Trice as proof that the university is diversity-centric in

terms of minority representation on campus buildings. “Quit hiding behind George Washington Carver and Jack Trice whenever race and ethnicity issues come up,” Washington said. Some students in attendance said the forum was productive to the overall conversation. “I greatly appreciated the discussion,” said Neil Vezeau, senior in animal science and senator in Student Government. “There was

much more conversation than I thought there was going to be.” After hearing from dozens of students, Leath said he had come to a realization that he didn’t realize just how much these students were going through. “One thing that’s opened my eyes tonight is that [racism and discrimination] is a widespread problem,” he said. “I underestimated the issues you deal with.”

HOIBERG p1

Pollard said Hines told Hoiberg what he was going to write about, and that Hoiberg relayed the conversation in detail for Pollard on Tuesday morning. Hoiberg — Travis, none of that’s true. You can’t write that. None of it’s true. Hines — I’m going to stand by my sources. Hoiberg — If you write that, I’m going to have to go public and refute everything you say. Hines — I’ve got my job to do. You’ve got your job to do. “So if Fred Hoiberg told you three weeks ago it

wasn’t true, doesn’t it make you kind of scratch your head and say, ‘Gosh, what’s the motive to all this?’” Pollard said. One final comment Hoiberg told Pollard that he made to Hines is as follows: Hoiberg — You have unnamed sources? I’m a source. Source me. Put me in the story. In the interest of fairness and credibility, it would be common practice to quote Hoiberg, especially if he refuted information provided by sources too afraid to attach their names to their assertions.

Pollard added that the only reason he didn’t comment himself was because Hines didn’t contact him until Wednesday. Hines said he reached out to Pollard on several occasions before Wednesday. During a radio interview Wednesday, Hines stood by his story and his claim that Hoiberg never made himself available for comment. “I absolutely stand by the story all the way,” Hines said on KXNO-AM. “I stand by the reporting that went into it, and I stand by the sources that I talked to for

the story.” Pollard added that some of the information in Hines’ story was simply inaccurate — namely that assistant coaches had to pay for home-game tickets for their guests in 2014-15, and that ISU players were made to sleep on their luggage in Hawaii in 2013. “Those are things that could easily have been verified by talking to people if you really wanted to get the true story,” Pollard said. Finally, Pollard said he had no part in the alleged altercation between himself, Assistant Athletic

Director David Harris and former assistant coach Doc Sadler at Hoiberg’s home — a conflict Sadler said himself he could not recall. Pollard said it’s not his place to question motives of the sources or Hines, but wondered if the story’s timing was related to the beginning of Hoiberg’s tenure with Bulls the day before. “Who knows?” Pollard said. “What I do know is there were several significant facts that were inaccurate. [Hines] was told they were inaccurate three weeks 75004 ago and went with the story anyways.”

Hill responded to student concerns from the standpoint of the leader of Student Affairs. “I’m sitting here thinking [ISU administrators] missed the mark in creating an environment where people feel comfortable enough to talk about what’s going on,” Hill said after hearing the many concerns of multicultural and minority students. “We don’t have a silver bullet, but we need to

Hoiberg — I’m hearing Travis is going to run the story this week, and I want you to know I talked to him and told him this is wrong, you can’t do it. I just want you to know, Jamie, that if he runs it, I’m going public and I’m going to refute the whole story. “And this is Fred telling me this, OK? So I believe it,” Pollard said. “Fred’s not one who makes things up.”
