Morris ready for smaller workload

By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State guard Monté Morris didn’t get much time to relax during games last season.

Morris averaged 38.0 minutes per game, which ranked fourth in the nation. His large workload came from a bit of necessity and a little bit of coach Steve Prohm’s preference.

But nonetheless, it took a toll on Morris, especially down the stretch when Morris was dealing with a shoulder injury in his shooting arm. But this season, his workload could take a cut — and it’s for the better. “[We want him to play] 30 to 32 minutes

with gusts up to 40,” Prohm said with a grin. “If he we can keep him to the 30 to 32-minute range, that would be great. Because I think it does keep him healthy.

It keeps him pushing the ball at the tempo that he needs to play with.”

Incoming transfer Donovan Jackson, a junior, will take some load of Morris’ shoulders and is expected to play the 1 as well as the 2 for the Cyclones.

Even though Morris’ playing time will take a cut, he isn’t complaining.

“I think it’ll help me for sure,” Morris said. “I know that there is longevity in the seaons and I’ve just got to be as fresh as I can be. It’s great to have a guy like Donovan on the roster that can take pressure off of me.”

Morris, who returned this season after considering going to the NBA Draft, is nearing a couple of Iowa State all-time records. He also enters the season with 551 career assists, which is 114 less than Jeff Hornacek’s all-time mark of 665.

He also is 40 steals away from swiping the all-time steals record from Hornacek, who racked up 211.

Morris put up 241 assists and 62 steals last season, and he even believes that he could break the record before the conference season begins.

Morris’ cut in playing time likely won’t affect his ability to break those records, as he’s well within striking distance. He’s certainly not worried.

“With these shooters we got and the playmakers that we have in here, I don’t think it will be that much of a problem,” Morris

Weiler-Babb’s ‘NBA potential’

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Nick Weiler-Babb has been around the Iowa State basketball program a long time.

He is now, finally getting to see the court for the first time.

Nick transferred to Iowa State from Arkansas following the 201415 season and then redshirted due to NCAA transfer rules.

And after sitting out all of last season, Iowa State coach Steve Prohm had high praise for the redshirt sophomore at the team’s annual media day on Wednesday.

“When you talk about NBA potential, [Nick] may have the most NBA potential — when you’re just looking at straight NBA potential — on our roster,” Prohm said.

Now, that may come as a surprise to many Iowa State basketball fans.

But looking at his family history, it’s fitting that Nick be placed in that category. His brother, Chris, played at Iowa State from 2010 to 2012 and quickly made a name for himself as one of the leagues top defenders.

Following his success at Iowa State, Chris continued his career in the NBA D-League. He also had two stints with the Boston Celtics and briefly played for the Golden State Warriors last year. Currently, Chris has signed to play in Europe for the upcoming season.

Nick is following in almost identical fashion to that of his brother, who transferred to Iowa State after two seasons at Penn State.

As a freshman at Arkansas, Nick played in just 26 games and averaged only 4.8 minutes per contest. His career high with the Razorbacks was a mere five points.

But Nick has come a long way since then, which he credits mostly to his year off.

“The year off has probably been the biggest thing that helped me to get me to where I am so far,” Nick said. “Being able to get to the sideline and kind of just watch and see, knowing that he’s not going to call my name, but I still have to know how he likes to play and get up and down the court.

“Just sitting out every day [I knew] that this is my chance to get better. I can lift every day. I can [play basketball] every day.”

More specifically, Nick’s offensive game has improved immensely since his freshman season. He said he’s not just a defensive player anymore.

“I think I’ve been able to score it a lot better since I’ve been at Arkansas. At Arkansas, I was more of a defensive, hardnosed guy,” Nick said. “Here, I’ve still been that

Bill Clinton makes surprise visit in Ames

By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com

Alex Connor/Iowa State Daily

Former President Bill Clinton makes a surprise visit at the Starbucks in Ames on Wednesday afternoon.

Venti black coffee.

Just in case you were wondering what former President Bill Clinton ordered during an unannounced stop at a Starbucks in Ames on Wednesday afternoon.

The former president, who is currently on a bus tour across Iowa in an effort to encourage Iowans to vote early, told reporters that he is “beyond being moved or surprised” by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and that he “has been for a long time.”

Bill Clinton said that he was “really proud” of his wife for the way that she handled Sunday’s presidential debate against Trump, but that most of all he “felt bad for the citizens who were sittin’ on the stage.” “[They] had been told if they came here they could ask questions about what they really care about that affects their lives,” he said. “And very few of them got to.”

Bill Clinton was in Indianola, Iowa earlier Wednesday at Simpson College to show support for his wife and Democratic

presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and push the main issues of her campaign.

United States Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack also made a surprise stop at Starbucks with the former president, telling the Iowa State Daily that he is “really pleased with the positive aspect of his [Bill Clinton’s] message, which is that there is a great deal of opportunity in the United States and that there is a great opportunity for a brighter and better future.”

Vilsack campaigned with Bill Clinton during the 2008 presidential election and Iowa caucus season. The former Iowa governor said that he thinks campaigning today is a great opportunity to reconnect with the [former] president.

“He believes Secretary Clinton — with her energy policy [and] with her infrastructure investment — will bring us a stronger economy and build on the work that was done and [build] a fairer economy,” Vilsack said, adding that Bill Clinton is spreading a “real positive message.”

“I was proud of her [Hillary] and I looked at her and I realized she was gonna — that’s the kind of person you want to be president,” Bill Clinton said. “[She’s] calm

and relaxed and focused on other people.

That’s what the election ought to be about.

I mean it’s a clear choice.”

Julie Hartung, a Starbucks employee present for the surprise arrival of the former president, said that it was a really exciting experience.

“We saw that there were police in here earlier and we didn’t know what they were there for and then we heard through the grapevine… he was coming in,” Hartung said. “And then we saw the bus come up and we were all excited and we got to just serve them coffee. I think they all just got black coffees.”

Taking time to individually meet, greet and chat with students, Bill Clinton worked his way throughout the small coffee shop for over 30 minutes. Before his arrival, there were roughly 30 people at the location, but upon leaving, hundreds of people were gathered outside to see the former president.

Rena Knutson, a senior in finance, who was at the surprise appearance said that she voted for Hillary Clinton on Monday and that it was really exciting to see Bill Clinton.

ISU Police look to hire Mandarin speaker

By Danielle.Gehr @iowastatedaily.com With 11 percent of the student population being international students, the language barrier is often a major issue that makes the transition for these students rather discouraging.

After an increase in international students, International Student Services looked at different parts of the university that worked closely with these foreign exchange students in order to find new ways to make their learning experience more comfortable. This eventually led the Iowa State Police Department to put out a national posting to find a Mandarinspeaking cop.

Aaron DeLashmutt, the interim chief at the ISU Police Department, said, “We’re excited for it and fingers crossed that we’re going to be successful. I know that it is a pretty specific skill set that we’re looking for. I was pleased with the response.”

Out of all of the international students, the most common native language is Mandarin. That is why ISU Police decided that a cop with that skill set would be useful to the university.

ISU Police officers have had situations where they have seen firsthand the usefulness of these language abilities.

Currently, they are limited to resources throughout the university to help them with that language barrier, and other Mandarin-speaking students are not an option for aid since there is no way of knowing how reliable that student may be.

“We’ve had instance in the past where we could’ve utilized that ability, that skill set on hand,” DeLashmutt said.

ISU Police has one officer who is proficient in American Sign Language and another who has some skills in it, DeLashmutt said. As far as he knows, there are no other officers with fluent multilingual skill sets.

The department opened the application process in early

September and has since ended it. It has received several responses, and since it does not require prior police experience, it has people of all different skill sets. DeLashmutt said the department hopes to start its assessment period by the end of the month.

DeLashmutt also acknowledged that another difficulty with trying to hire someone of this skill set is it may be hard to keep them in Ames. Such specific skills may make this officer an attractive candidate for other departments around the country.

“I’ve got to imagine that they’ll be a hot commodity for other departments and stuff so we’ll have to try to keep them hidden for awhile,” Delashmutt said.

The department’s goal, Delashmutt said, is to have someone hired by February.

This will give it the opportunity to get the hiree into the spring police academy and have them out on the force as soon as possible.

Steinem not surprised by Trump

By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com Gloria Steinem, famous feminist icon, said that she wasn’t all that surprised by one of the more recent controversies surrounding the Trump campaign and Donald Trump himself.

“Well those of us who live in New York and know Donald Trump by reputation were less surprised than people in the rest of the country,” Steinem said in an interview with the Iowa State Daily on Wednesday. “I mean he is neither a successful businessman nor a person who treats anybody equally, not just women.

So it may have come as more of a shock to other folks than New Yorkers.”

Steinem’s remarks were in regard to the lewd comments Trump made in 2005 while on a hot microphone in reference to women, essentially saying that “when you’re a star, they let you do it [kiss, grope women.]”

Trump brushed the comments made as

“locker room banter” and issued an apology shortly after the video was released by the Washington Post.

Steinem said Trump’s comments, or anyone’s comments to that extent, and particularly his excuse “is not an acceptable excuse for anybody.”

“Well, you know, I’m shocked by anybody saying those things, but it’s not surprising coming from him,” Steinem said.

Steinem was at Iowa State on Tuesday evening for a lecture regarding her “Life on the Road.” Steinem then took the oppurtunity on Wednesday to campaign in Johnston, Iowa, at a private residence to encourage Iowans to vote early.

“I was speaking to a group of volunteers who have been working very hard on this election,” Steinem said. “There were maybe 60 people there, I don’t know, in the house. Very devoted, very hardworking, very public spirited.”

Steinem shared during her interview that she supports Democratic presidential candidate

Hillary Clinton “because she may be the most experienced candidate we’ve ever had,” noting that she believes from the beginning of her career, Clinton has constantly supported issues of equality, the civil rights movement, children’s rights and “becoming evermore global.”

“I think that she brings into foreign policy the very important understanding that violence against females is the single biggest indicator of whether a country or a group is violent in other ways,” Steinem said.

The 82-year-old said that when it comes to Clinton and President Barack Obama, she believes the two feel the same on all of the important issues and are “both good people with good hearts and good minds.”

“People would say to me, ‘Who are you supporting, Clinton or Obama?’ And I would say ‘yes,’” Steinem said.

Ultimately, four years ago, Steinem voted for Clinton because she felt that Clinton was more experienced but said, “we need eight years of both, and I don’t care in which order.

Dialogue held on ‘Her Story’ series

By Jacey.Goetzman @iowastatedaily.com For Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the LGBTSS Center paired with several organizations to host a screening of the Emmynominated web series “Her Story.”

The screening was a two-part event. First, the series was projected and watched in its entirety. Second, a conversation was facilitated through cards the audience was invited to write their questions on.

Before the screening began, the audience was warned of possible triggering content in the series, including misgendering, transphobic language and domestic violence. Counseling also was made available to audience members who could have trouble navigating the series.

The screening centered around several characters. Primarily, these characters were Violet, a transgender woman portrayed by Jen Richards; Paige, a transgender woman of color portrayed by Angelica Ross; and Allie, a gay woman portrayed by Laura Zak. It focused on transgender and queer women exploring not only their identities but also the dating world.

Her Story portrays transgender

and queer women as just that: complex characters who are incredibly human.

After the series finished, the audience shared their question cards, and a dialogue began between the attendees and staff members who attended. These were representatives and leaders of many groups: the LGBTSS Center, ACCESS, the Margaret Sloss Women’s Center and Transformative Healing.

Some of the topics discussed within this dialogue were pronouns, identity and how to support members of the LGBT+ community.

Outing was an important factor.

“Outing” is the disclosure of someone’s identity without their specific permission and knowledge.

“It is, a lot of the time, unsafe to [share your identity],” said Jazzmine Hudson, sexual misconduct prevention coordinator.

Hudson went on to say that not only can it leave the person outed scared but it can also lead to a loss of livelihood as well as several other factors that straight, cisgender or non-transgender people don’t even consider: a loss of employment, housing and control of their own story.

One staff member said, “It’s not your right to give that information

out.”

An audience member encouraged others not to assume the gender of anyone. Alternatives of this could be using someone’s name, referring to a group as “y’all” or “folks,” and asking for the pronouns of a person when you’re introduced.

Several ways to support the LGBT+ community were given.

Advocacy, education and the validation of queer and transgender people were some of these solutions.

“It’s not up to the person experiencing oppression to speak up,” Lemke said.

Many of the issues in the series were applicable to the Iowa State campus, according to the staff members present.

Alyssa Comstock, senior in graphic design, agreed.

“One thing I wish I could see more on campus is more gender-

inclusive bathrooms,” Comstock said. “[I’m a] college of design student and there’s none in there … the bathrooms just aren’t comfortable, necessarily, for trans people.”

Mikah Fitzgerald, junior in graphic design, added that the perception of the transgender community at Iowa State needs to change.

“I think [Iowa State can progress by] getting the word out there more about what being trans is,” Fitzgerald said. “It’s not like … a big freak community, which is what everyone who is not in the community sees it as,” Fitzgerald said. “I feel like if someone hears about someone being trans, they automatically feel like it’s something bad … I just want all that thought t o be pushed out the door. I want it to be more of a positive thing, more of a normal thing.”

Sloss Women’s Center unveils ‘Lives on the Line’ event

By Jacey.Goetzman @iowastatedaily.com The Margaret Sloss Women’s Center is hosting a new event for Domestic Awareness Month.

The event is called Lives on the Line: Stories of Iowans Lost to Domestic Violence. It will take place between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Thursday in front of the Sloss House on Central Campus.

The event is a visual representation of the impact that domestic violence has left in Iowa. It will include all 278 victims in the state who have lost their lives since January 1995, as well as their stories.

Lives on the Line is a revamped version of an event the center has done in the past called Violence Leaves an Empty Chair at the Table.

“I wanted to create an opportunity for

people to look at the data in a different way than it had been presented previously,” said Kate Gallagher, the equity and social justice coordinator responsible for the event.

Gallagher explained what eventgoers can expect to see this year.

“This year, all the stories are printed out,” Gallagher said. “Instead of having chairs that we tape them on, we’re stringing clotheslines between the light poles out in front of the Sloss House here on Central Campus.”

The stories will be clipped to the lines on a variety of colored paper. The color of the victim’s paper is based on their age. On the front, their name and age will be included.

The back will include their story and events in their case, as well as judicial outcomes of their perpetrators. Some may have flags on them, indicating whether they were from Story County or if they were a male victim.

“I think it’s easy to see all the chairs and think, ‘Oh, this is all one group of people

[who were] domestic violence victims,’” Gallagher said, “but it is actually super varied. There’s a big range of ages, ranging from unborn babies all the way to [a victim in their ‘90s] ... [also,] in the narrative that’s presented, it’s easy to forget about male victims of domestic violence.”

The flags are a way to point out the impact domestic violence has on our community and how the issue personally affects us, too, Gallagher said.

The event focuses on raising awareness and providing resources to students.

Campus and local resources will be available at the event. ACCESS (Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support) and Jazzmine Hudson, sexual misconduct prevention coordinator, will be present.

“Realize, and understand, that this is happening here, in Iowa,” Gallagher said. “This is happening to people just like [you]: students, men, women.”

Halloween attraction returns

By Jake.Dalbey @iowastatedaily.com Phantoms, psychotic killers and nightmarish clowns invade Iowa State as the annual Ames Haunted Forest re-opens for business, celebrating its first weekend of scaring young and old Ames community members.

Created in 1999 under the ownership of Lynn Ballard, the forest has undergone several changes this year to prepare for the upcoming Halloween season.

Among the biggest alterations of the forest layout is the addition of more space, allowing visitors to see more frights and sets.

“The forest is now about 20 percent longer than before, which affects the actual walking path, with also about 400 square feet of new enclosures,” Ballard said. ”We also have increased our actors by about 20 percent, which is about 38 actors each night.

Because of the forest’s location, new sets and paths are created each year during the attraction’s construction, allowing visitors to have a new experience.

“Our land is in a floodplain, which means we basically have to take down all of our props except for the heavy stuff each year,” Ballard said.

“When we do this, it changes all our scenes, so pretty much everything is different. We also have new actors each year, which brings a whole new creativity to the forest.”

Despite the changes, the overall haunted theme remains the same from year to year, detailing the story of “the Phantom of the Bijou,” a tale about a deranged film projectionist who is driven mad after a fire burns his entire body.

The man, Vincent, after being released from the hospital spends his days in solitude walking through the woods. Visitors are invited to “journey into Vincent’s mind” as they make their way through the dirt path.

For Ballard, owning the forest brings great pride in being able to see the effect of the attraction on visitors as well as hire local Iowa State students. This year in particular marked what Ballard called “the best ever” in terms of customer satisfaction.

“Everybody loved it, never do we get any complaints and they really enjoyed the changes we made from last year — it was a record weekend,” Ballard said. ”We enjoy seeing people having a good time and that we can support Iowa State students by actually paying them as actors.

We love being able to entertain the public.”

Rachel Cessna, junior in journalism, is working as an actor in this year’s haunted forest and despite not actually enjoying haunted houses herself, is looking forward to seeing the event from the other side.

“I actually do not like haunted houses, as I get really scared with that stuff and anxious,” Cessna said. ”However, I’ve always like acting and [have been] interested in doing it so I just wanted to give it a try.”

Taking a cue from the ongoing clown craze Carolyn Schar, sophomore in apparel, merchandising and design, plans to revolve her costume for the haunted forest around the creepy carnival workers.

“I thought it’d be fun to be on the other side and see how those people do their job to scare people,” Schar said. ”Last weekend, my friend made herself into a clown, which I know is a hot topic right now, so I might have her do that for me because it’s easy and scary.”

The Ames Haunted Forest is open from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. every Friday and Saturday in October, and then 7 p.m. to midnight starting on Oct. 21.

The attraction will also run Sundays from 7 p.m. to midnight starting Oct. 22 through Halloween. More information can be found on the attraction’s website.

Multiple-choice exams test for memorization, guessing skills Mid-October, the time of the semester when many Iowa State Students get stressed. Why? Because it is the time when students most likely have two or three midterm exams in the same week. The term “exams,” for many students, is a synonym for “nightmare.”

It is often heard around campus that some students are not good test takers. But exams have different styles, as much as people have different skills and abilities.

One of the most popular and most used exam forms is the multiplechoice exam. It was invented by Frederick J. Kelly in 1914. More than a century after that, his test is still preferred over all other forms. Some professors use the multiple-choice tests because they are easier to evaluate.

The problem occurs when professors rely on that type of test only, writing exams with multiple-choice questions exclusively.

Multiple-choice tests require high concentration. Students who have a little headache or a lack of sleep are more likely to fail a test, even if they actually know the material.

Moreover, students might circle an answer different from what they believe is the correct one. That could be perceived as lack of knowledge.

“I think the questions are often worded unfairly,” said Aria Polglaze, sophomore in interdisciplinary studies.

Furthermore, multiple-choice tests do not accurately reflect the level of knowledge students have. In an article published in the Washington Post, Cathy Davidson, a scholar and professor at Duke University, tackled the issue of administering those kinds of tests. “[Multiple-choice] tests address only a quarter of the kinds of knowledge students master in schools,” Davidson said.

Students can also get credit for questions they didn’t know, though they may have been lucky enough to select the correct answer with a guess.

Ahmed Mansoor, a third-year student in chemical engineering, believes that multiple-choice tests are a doubleedged sword. “[A multiple-choice exam] can help,” Ahmed said, “but I don’t think it shows how much you know about the material. Sometimes you either get confused or just guess.”

Some courses provide students with a large number of practice multiplechoice questions, placing a portion of them on the actual exam. By doing so, students are limited to mastering certain facts. Moreover, the tests that include only multiple-choice questions does not allow students to answer questions with a method that suits them.

Although multiple-choice tests can save students and teachers time and effort, they may do more harm than good. If professors insist on having multiple-choice questions, they should mix them with other types of questions. This may ensure that students with different abilities have a equal chance to do well in such classes.

& SEXUAL ASSAULT

Tyler Coffey/Iowa State Daily

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump thanks his supporters for coming to his rally before walking backstage on Sept. 13 in Clive, Iowa. Vulgar comments Trump made during a conversation in a 2005 video with NBC’s Billy Bush contradicted his previous statement that no one has more respect for women than him.

DONALD TRUMP ...ITS COMPLICATED

Lewd comments show he has no respect for women

By Michael.Heckle @iowastatedaily.com “No one has more respect for women than me,” Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said during Sunday night’s debate.

Except for just about everyone else, apparently. Recent comments unearthed from a 2005 conversation between Trump and NBC’s Billy Bush paint a very different picture of how the presidential nominee treats the opposite sex. Essentially bragging about kissing and groping women without their consent simply because of his superstar status, Trump brushed off his vulgar, offensive words as simple “locker room talk.”

And while Trump’s campaign hopes to portray the issue as just that, Trump’s history of misogynistic attitudes cannot and should not be ignored. As the Republican party fractures over his most recent controversy, the public should not turn away what is a clear and unquestionable proliferation of rape culture by a man who is running for the highest office in the country.

It’s ironic that members of a party who just months ago fought against equality for transgender individuals on the basis that they would grope women in restrooms are standing behind a candidate who brags about

doing just that. Although Republican heavy weights like Paul Ryan are “disgusted” by Trump’s comments, the hypocrisy that besets the party has become the wedge that is driving them apart.

But Trump, for the first time in recent memory, apologized, even admitting that his comments were wrong. Pleading with the American people to focus on “bigger” issues like his favorite talking point, ISIS, Trump’s degradation of the seriousness of his words is the very reason why we should be talking about them.

A Republican presidential nominee bragged about sexual assault.

This, compounded with his history of vulgar comments toward women who disagree with him, or those he simply dislikes, paints a picture of a man who not only shows no respect toward women but one who has repeatedly and habitually displayed blatantly misogynistic behavior.

Trump’s son, Eric Trump, seems to share the same sexist tint. Coming to the defense of his father, the Trump protégée told the Colorado Gazette that such comments should be expected when “alpha personalities are in the same presence” and continued the sentiment that nonchalant claims about sexual assault are simple “locker room banter.”

Perhaps what is even sadder than a presidential candidate so easily dismissing sexual assault is that the same attitude seems to have seeped into the worldview of his children.

But Eric Trump’s comments display a much deeper problem: the idea that sexual assault is something natural and unavoidable.

The conversation concerning Trump and his relationship with sexual assault is far from over. In June 2016, an unnamed “Jane Doe” filed a federal lawsuit against Trump for allegedly sexually assaulting her and another individual in 1994 at a party held by known pedophile and friend of Trump, Jeffrey Epstein.

The victims were 12 and 13 years old at the time. While the allegations are just that, and Trump vehemently denies the accusations, the suit, which has largely been ignored by most of the mainstream media, should not be left in the shadows.

And a federal judge agrees, a status hearing for the lawsuit is scheduled for Dec. 16.

What’s most ironic, however, is the reaction of NBC’s Billy Bush, who laughed and encouraged Trump’s remarks in the 2005 video.

While NBC made no plans to let go of the TV personality, Bush, who began a short tenure on NBC’s “Today” over the summer, has begun working on his terms of departure from the network. Saying in a statement Friday that he was “ashamed,” Bush’s social media pages swelled with angry comments and expressions of disappointment.

It seems that a television celebrity has more integrity than a U.S. presidential nominee. Scandal after scandal, Trump supporters have stood behind the Republican nominee, hailing him as a man who simply “speaks his mind.” But if this latest controversy represents the mind of Donald Trump, it’s a wonder why anyone would want him to become the most powerful man in the world.

United States falls short on women’s equality

By Beth.Woodruff @iowastatedaily.com The United States ranked below Kazakhstan and Algeria in a new report that ranks countries from best to worst places in the world to be a female.

The report was released Tuesday, the International Day of the Girl, by Save the Children, a nonprofit organization based in 120 countries around the world, including the United States. The primary goal of the organization is to protect children around the world and provide them with a healthy and safe start to life.

Out of 144 countries included in the study, the United States was ranked No. 32. Carolyn Miles, CEO of Save the Children, announced that the United States is one of the richest nations in the world. Despite this, it cannot keep up in terms of the well-being of girls.

Each country in the report was based on several factors to determine their ability to provide for female citizens. The indicators used to decide each

country’s standing were child marriage, adolescent fertility, maternal mortality, women in governmental positions and lower secondary school completion.

One of the United States’ biggest pitfalls was a high maternal mortality rate compared to other nations. In fact, 14 women die out of 100,000 births, which is a death rate similar to that of Uruguay’s and Lebanon’s.

The maternal death toll in the United States is far higher than nations similar to our own, such as Finland and Poland, which only have three deaths per 100,000 births.

The United States had trouble with another indicator.

In fact, it was singled out as being especially lacking when it comes to women in governmental positions. In the United States, women hold an underwhelming 19.4 percent of Congressional seats. This percentage pales in comparison to countries like Sweden, where women make up 44 percent of parliament lawmakers.

Miles believes that making women in government an indi-

cator was essential to the study.

Miles said that having women in politics not only helps with the creation and passing of bills beneficial to women but also helps provide young girls with positive role models.

While the United States ranked lower than expected on the Save the Children report, all hope is not lost. Many countries on the report have made improvements, including ones with a far lower economic development. An example country outlined by the report was Rwanda, which despite its low income, ranked 49th on the index. The increase in rank may be a result of its high volume of women in political power and its child marriage and pregnancy prevention techniques.

The United States has a lot of room to grow to ensure women’s equality, for both children and adults. Having a woman run as one of the primary presidential candidates is a step in the right direction.

Whether Hillary Clinton wins the presidential race, she is still empowering young girls across the country by being a power-

ful role model in the political scene.

While Clinton is paving the way, she is not going to be able to single handedly solve America’s gender problem. Electing more women into high levels of government would help put the United States on an equal playing field with other nations around the world, something that is vital to increasing the United States’ ranking.

Miles stated that being conscious about the way parents raise their girls and boys can be a step in the right direction.

Most parents have a natural difference in the way they raise their children of opposite sexes, but putting a stop to genderdefined parenting is a simple way to immediately increase girls’ living conditions.

As one of the most influential countries in the world, with a heavy global economic influence, it is crucial that women are given an equal opportunity from the get-go. Ranking so low on the Save the Children study should be an eye-opening experience that incites a national revolution.

Merrill Holden (left) and Darrell Bowie (right) are battling for a starting spot on the Iowa State men’s basketball team along with Solomon Young. The three newcomers are competing for the post position.

Cyclones search for starting big man

By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State men’s basketball team is facing some huge losses down in the paint this season.

Georges Niang and Jameel McKay, who were the rocks for the Cyclones down low last season, graduated, and the team is leaning toward forward Deonte Burton to shoulder the load.

And coach Steven Prohm wasn’t shy stating his goal for Burton this season.

“He should average a double-double this season for our team to compete this season,” Prohm said.

But Burton isn’t the player that the team needs to worry about in terms of a starting spot. After a season where Prohm took over a team with an alreadyset lineup, this season won’t be as easy, especially in the front court.

The post position, the 5, is a competition between three newcomers: Freshman Solomon Young and graduate transfers Darrell Bowie and Merrill Holden.

“The thing that we have to do now, from Oct. 12 to Nov. 11 to Dec. 30, is we’ve got to continue to invest daily with these front court guys,” Prohm said.

“None of them have been here before. Everyone is coming with a different story.”

Young is the youngest of the group.

Even though he is coming in as a freshman and going against two other graduate transfers for a starting spot, he isn’t fazed. He feels like he’s on the same level.

“I don’t feel that way,” Young said. “I feel like I’m up there with still learning things. I feel like a newcomer.”

Young certainly doesn’t look like a freshman. He towers at 6 feet 8 inches and 240 pounds and looks more like an offensive lineman than a basketball player. Bowie was first taken aback by Young’s size, literally and figuratively.

“We were doing a post drill,” Bowie said. “I tried to cut across his face and he hit me. I told him that I felt that one after practice because he’s a big, physical dude.”

Bowie is a big player in his own right.

He stands 6 feet 8 inches and 218 pounds and is no stranger to playing against the

best. Bowie, a Milwaukee native, played with Burton and McKay, who are also Milwaukee natives, in AAU basketball.

Bowie also faces Burton during practices, which gives him somewhat of a grasp on what he would face during the Big 12 season. “[The competition] helps me a lot,” Bowie said. “It shows me that I’ve got to come in and battle each and every day. I have something to prove every time I step on the court. I think that helps me a lot because when game time comes — with me battling those guys every day — I don’t think that anybody else is better than those guys.”

Holden, a Chicago native, comes to Iowa State by way of Louisiana Tech. He has the ability to crack the starting lineup, but his consistency is key.

“Merrill’s had some good days, where his energy’s been really good,” Prohm said. “The things that he can do — he can do what we need him to do — we just need him to do them consistently.”

The post spot is going to come down to who can defend and rebound, two of Prohm’s ideal attributes in a post man, he said.

Over the past few weeks of practice, Prohm has placed extra emphasis on rebounding, both on the offensive and defensive glass. It has gotten through the players, especially Bowie.

“I hear about it every day,” Bowie said. “I go to sleep hearing it. Obviously, he stresses about it. When him and me have meetings, he tells me to crash and drive on offensive and defensive. I feel like that’s something that’s always been in my game, but I haven’t had someone tell me day in and day out that I need to rebound.”

But either way, the post position will be one of the biggest question marks for the season. Prohm said it’s going to take some extra work to get the new big men up to speed.

“It’s brand new for so many of these guys,” Prohm said. “We have to get them in the gym before practice. We have to stay after practice. Whoever can play at that position. If they can defend and rebound. If they can do those core things, [they will play.]”

Iowa State basketball coach Steve Prohm has four areas he is focusing on defensively this season: the defense needs to contest more shots, contain the dribble and finish plays, and the transition defense needs to improve.

Prohm focuses on 4 points of defense

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State basketball coach Steve Prohm has preached one thing since he arrived on campus: Defense.

But that hasn’t ever been a big focus at Iowa State — at least in recent history.

The Cyclones have always ran a more offensive-oriented game.

This season, though, Prohm said that has to change.

“We’ve been great offensively,” Prohm said at the team’s annual media day on Wednesday. “Now we have to make strides to get better defensively, and there has to be a focus and a toughness approach to that.”

There are four areas that Prohm said he wants to focus on defensively this season. He needs the transition defense to improve, needs to contest more shots, contain the dribble and finish plays defensively.

“We have to be better in these areas this year,” Prohm said. “I put in on the board [in the locker room], and it’s on our board right now. “[It] sounds simple, but it’s tough to do.”

Looking back at film from last season, Prohm found some interesting stats. He said they found a 20 percent difference in the success rate between contested shots and uncontested shots, sparking his motive to make sure shots are contested this season.

He also found that 35 percent of Iowa State’s shots allowed last season were layups. That, he said, must come down to 15 to 20 percent.

In general, though, it’s not an “on the court” issue. It’s more of a mentality thing.

“Our mentality has to change too on the defensive end,” Prohm said. “[We

have to think] that we can be a defensive team.”

Prohm said he wants to change defenses during games, too, instead of just running one defense the entire game.

“If we just ran back and played halfcourt defense with this team, that wouldn’t be the best thing for this team,” Prohm said. “This team needs to change defense. This team can switch ball screens. This team can switch handoffs … but we’ve got to be a lot more focused defensively. We can be good defensively.”

Prohm talked about running a threequarter court press, too, something that fans didn’t see much of last season.

Guard Naz Mitrou-Long liked the new press, saying that they’ve tried different people running point in it so far in practice.

Even though it’s not set up perfectly yet, Mitrou-Long likes what it can add to the defense.

“It can bring a lot,” Mitrou-Long said.

“We were just trying a bunch of guys in the front. … If we do it the right way, it’s definitely something new, but if we do it the right way, it definitely will turn out to be something good in our favor.”

While it will undoubtedly take some time to see significant improvement on the defensive end, Mitrou-Long said he’s already starting to see a change.

And for the first time in a while, that’s where the focus is.

“In past times, we used to finish practices on an offensive bucket,” Mitroulong said. “[Now], we’re finishing practices on defensive stops, consecutive stops. That goes to show how much emphasis we’re putting in. All practice long we’re working on defense at some point.

“We’ve got to turn up the intensity on [defense]. “That’s what our identity has to be, and it’d becoming a part of who we are.”

Football notebook: J.D. Waggoner out for season

By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com Defensive lineman J.D. Waggoner likely will be out for the rest of this season, Iowa State Coach Matt Campbell said Wednesday.

Waggoner had surgery this week on his pectoral muscle after suffering a shoulder injury last week.

Waggoner was out for the past couple of games because of this shoulder injury, and Campbell hopes for a speedy recovery. He’s already had the surgery and is beginning the rehabilitation process.

“J.D. [Waggoner] is going to be out for the year,” Campbell said.

“He had surgery, it’s a pec, I don’t think he’ll be back by the end of the season.”

Trever Ryen and Kamari Cotton-Moya still questionable Wide receiver Trever Ryen is still questionable for the Texas game with his injury. Campbell said he was able to participate in practice Wednesday, but his status is up in the air.

Ryen has been beneficial in the punt return game, ranking in the top 10 nationally in punt return average, as well as a reliable slot receiver in the offensive package.

The coaching staff will continue

looking at Ryen for the next practice and before the game to determine an official status against Texas.

Safety and captain Kamari Cotton-Moya has been dealing with his injury since the Baylor game a couple of weekends ago.

He didn’t play in last weekend’s game against Oklahoma State, but Campbell is seeing positivity in this week and him returning. “[Cotton-Moya] has been able to practice the last two days,” Campbell said. “I think you’ll see Kamari in the game this weekend.”

Bobby McMillen III doubtful Linebacker Bobby McMillen III has been dealing with a sprained ankle that he injured against Baylor two weekends ago. His status is uncertain, and Campbell thinks he might not be eligible to play this weekend.

Just the other day, McMillen III was on a scooter with a boot on his foot.

Recruiting doesn’t stop Next week is the bye week for Iowa State, which means recruiting week for Campbell and his coaching staff. Campbell doesn’t like to recruit during game weeks especially on the road with the team because he wants his sole focus to be on the team and win-

The team will still have practice for the week, but on the bye weekend, Campbell will travel to recruit

Morrill Hall bids farewell to Murrill sculptures Kennedy DeRaedt/Iowa State Daily

Two women look at “The Fifth Muse” in Marston Hall on Wednesday.

The art shown was created by Norie Sato.

Art walk features Norie Sato pieces

By Matthew.Carlson @iowastatedaily.com People from all walks of life gathered Wednesday afternoon at the Palmer Building to participate in an art walk that covered multiple buildings and pieces of artwork by renowned Seattle-based artist Norie Sato.

The first stop on the tour was One Now All, which was installed in 2000. The piece includes a vertical indent in the wall filled with words that are engraved into the stone as a fountain of water flows from above.

The words One, Now and All are arranged separately in large letters on a wall in the lobby, with one of the Ls located on the outside of the building. At the bottom of the list of engraved words, letters separate into a jumbled fashion and disperse in different directions.

“The words interact like water would,” said David Faux, interpretation specialist for University Museums. “The words on the wall maybe stand as a symbol that take us back to a certain time in our lives.”

The group’s next stop was at Hach Hall to view Sato’s e+l+e+m+e+n+t+a+l piece,

which was installed in 2008 in the lobby of the chemistry building. The piece features two-dimensional, close-up representations of different elements from the periodic table.

It also features different items constructed of glass chemistry tools that can be found in a laboratory, including funnels, beakers, gold and iron. Some of the more creative objects were a trumpet, chess board and a human heart.

The Fifth Muse, which hangs from the ceiling at the front entrance to Marston Hall, was the final stop on the tour.

Two circles form the anchors that hold more than 100 strings each, creating a symbol that is unique to the university — the Marston Water Tower with a metal Cyclone coming out of the top.

“The wheels at the top come together to form an infinity sign, possibly representing the infinite amount of knowledge that is out there to learn,” Faux said.

All 14 subsections of the College of Engineering are represented in the piece of art, as well as a portrait of Anson Marston, who inspired the naming of the engineering building.

By Melanie.Van Horn @iowastatedaily.com and Maggie.Curry @iowastatedaily.com For two years, Morrill Hall was surrounded by pacing panthers, grazing deer and an all-seeing ram.

These well-known animal sculptures were expected to be removed and returned to the artist, Gwynn Murrill, over the summer, but their removal was delayed until this week.

Murrill’s sculptures were removed after more than two years of display on campus.

The familiar campus fixtures were acquired on loan in 2014 and were originally planned to be returned in August 2016. But due to a conflicting University Museums exhibit at the Iowa State Fair, curators worked with the artist to extend the stay of the sculptures.

“We typically don’t like to remove the sculptures when campus is busy, so the sculptures are typically moved in August,” said Allison Sheridan, collections manager with University Museums.

The sculptures were on loan from Murrill, whose sculptures of a cat, a saluki, and two black and white dogs have a permanent home at the College of Veterinary Medicine.

At the time of the sculptures’ installation, the Christian Petersen Art Museum had an exhibit that displayed Murrill’s process of sculpting, including showing the tiny models she made before creating the actual sculpture. Most artists will charge a loan fee to display their artwork, but

Workers from the ISU Grounds Crew and Center Stores work to safely de-install a sculpture Monday.

Murrill generously waived the fee, and the museum was only responsible for shipping and installation fees.

“The museum has a such a good relationship with these artists, and many of them want their art shown on campus,” Sheridan said.

The animals were part of an outdoor exhibit space called the Elizabeth and Byron Anderson Sculpture Garden. The garden was meant for temporary art and has had three exhibits since it opened in 2008.

Murrill’s exhibit fit well with former artist-in-residence Christian Petersen’s panthers across the street, giving the illusion of a more permanent fixture.

Petersen sculpted on Iowa State’s campus beginning in the Great Depression and ending with his retirement in 1955.

Elizabeth and Byron Anderson, for whom the garden is named, were students at Iowa State during Petersen’s career and would meet each other on the steps of Morrill Hall.

According to museum literature about the garden, Elizabeth’s final summer at Iowa State was spent working with Petersen one-onone.

It was in 2005, following the death of her husband in 2004, when Elizabeth joined the movement to commemorate Petersen and his work, funding research into his

early artistic career before Iowa State. The research culminated in an exhibition in the Christian Petersen Art Museum in 2007.

Elizabeth then funded the new sculpture garden in honor of her husband, with the intent of providing changing exhibits on a two-year cycle consisting of loaned sculptures from contemporary artists and works from the university’s permanent collection in a space that also commemorated her husband’s love of nature and gardening. The Murrill pieces were in the garden longer than usual.

At the time the garden was installed, the university tracked the sidewalk south of Morrill Hall to traffic 13,000 students a day. In 2008, enrollment was approaching 27,000 students, according to a statement at the first Faculty Senate meeting of the fall semester that year. At that time, nearly half of the student body walked past the sculpture garden each day.

The positioning of the garden is unobtrusive, and many students don’t realize they are passing through an art exhibit each time they walk from the north side of Central Campus to the library, or head into the Hub for a coffee.

The first exhibit that was shown there was “Exquisite Balance: Sculptures by Bill Barrett.” Six of Barrett’s calligraphic sculptures were

shown in the garden, and a permanent piece resides outside of the Gerdin Business Building.

Murrill’s animals were the third exhibit to find a home in the garden.

The sculptures will be missed on campus, and Sheridan noted how both students and faculty expressed their appreciation of the sculptures after hearing of the de-installation.

“Sometimes we don’t hear how people feel until after the piece is gone,” Sheridan said. “When the sculptures were being removed on Monday, both students and faculty told me, ‘I loved those sculptures’ or ‘Oh, I’m going to miss that on campus.’”

Although Murrill’s art is returning to her home in California, one piece of hers has been permanently added to the university’s collection. The ram on the south side of the building was generously donated to the university by Murrill and will remain on display in this location until next spring.

Because of an upcoming remodeling of the plaza near Morrill Hall, no new exhibits are currently planned to replace Murrill’s sculptures until after next summer. But the museum plans to re-install a sculpture from the permanent collection on the north side of Morrill Hall entitled “Cupid” by William King.

Distracted driving not limited to texting

By Sarah.Rich @iowastatedaily.com Megan Innis, sophomore in apparel, merchandising and design, receives a call that her mother has been in an accident, causing Innis’s heart to drop into her stomach.

Police give few details on her mother’s condition, but they tell Innis that her mother did not sustain any major injuries.

Innis’s heart lightens, and her breathing steadies.

Innis said her mother was in a crash involving a small car and a large truck.

The driver of the truck that struck Innis’s mother ran through a stop sign and crashed into her. The crash resulted in a visit to the local hospital for Innis’s mother and a totaled car.

Innis’s story ends happily, but for many Americans, it’s just the opposite. A lack of attention causes many car accidents. Distracted driving is a leading cause of accidents, namely, distraction by cell phone usage.

While many people are now aware that driving while using a cell phone can be dangerous and choose not to use it when they are behind the wheel, some continue to use their phones for other activities, including something as innocent as looking at a map for directions or more reckless activities such as watching movies.

Texting while driving remains a major problem for teens and young adults and is the cause of many accidents, but distracted driving does not always involve a cell phone.

Texting is a common driving distraction, but it is not the only one. Other distractions include checking a map for directions or reaching in the backseat for something.

People who are distracted while driving are at a higher risk of getting into an accident. Distracted driving can range from eating or drinking to reaching in the backseat to grab something.

Regardless of the type of crash, once it occurs, checking the safety of passengers and those in the other vehicle is paramount.

Not only is it socially responsible, but Michael Levine, student attorney at Iowa State, said the law

requires that if a person is involved in a crash, they need to attend to the wounds of those involved if they are physically capable.

Even if it is only a minor fenderbender, Levine said to call the police. “If there is not a police report of the accident, then you can’t report that to insurance if you find yourself hurting the next day.”

Anthony Greiter, an Iowa State police officer, said head-on crashes are the least often to occur.

The top two types of crashes, Greiter said, are when vehicles are rear-ended or in parking lots. Both of these types of crashes happen usually at lower speeds and are not as dangerous as head-on collisions or getting T-boned, but they can result in whiplash at speeds as low as 5 mph.

Secondary crashes also are a concern for police, Greiter said. People passing by are distracted by the first crash and tend to stare at it, turning

their heads away from the road and toward the crash. Because of the way their heads turn, Greiter said drivers subconsciously turn toward the crash. Secondary crashes often happen on the highway, and as a result, a single, isolated crash could turn into a multi-car accident if passerby are not attentive to what is in front of them.

“The worst kind of accidents are ones people could prevent by just paying attention,” Greiter said.

Varying conditions require attentive driving

By Andrea.Dahl @iowastatedaily.com Sliding into the driver’s seat and gripping the cold steering wheel can mark the start of a different driving experience every time someone puts their foot on the gas.

Driving conditions can change from state to state as speed limits and weather conditions may change.

Based on what she’s noticed, Sara Ogle, Iowa State alumna and current Alabama resident, said Iowans are far more conscious of their driving.

“Iowa, being what it is, is driver friendly for the vast majority of the state,” Ogle said. “People tend to obey the laws more, and their vehicles are quieter and less obnoxious.”

This greatly differs from the aggressive atmosphere of the South.

“The speed limits appear

to be mere suggestions down here [in the South],” Ogle said. “I would say 50 percent of the drivers speed along the highway to an excess.

Signaling is also suggestive or at the convenience of the driver and his or her ability to reach the blinker knob.”

With the aggressive driving atmosphere of the South comes a high frequency of vehicular accidents. Another leading cause of accidents in the south is inclement weather, which has a huge impact on driving conditions between states.

“Iowans are used to adverse weather conditions catering to the extreme — huge snowfalls, incredible amounts of rains and flash flooding, etc. In the southern states, there is rarely, if any, snow,” said Ogle. “[My husband] was on his way back from training in Louisiana and the South had a snowfall of a whopping inch! The highways were shut down, schools closed, businesses

closed, services postponed, all because of an inch of snow.”

Last winter, Ames received 31.6 inches of snowfall, according to an annual snowfall table on Current Results.

Because of its deviating climate, Iowa prepares for unfavorable weather conditions. The state has invested in snowplows and salt spreaders to combat the conditions, a luxury southern states rarely have to worry about.

“In the North, we are used to driving in raging rain fall,” Ogle said. “In the south, the traffic turns into a cautious animal. Everyone has their hazard blinkers on to the dismay of everyone else because it appears that everyone on the highway is trying to change lanes simultaneously.”

thusiast, said he faces more challenges in Iowa than other states.

“Out of Illinois, Tennessee, New York, Pennsylvania, Missouri and Minnesota, I get run off the road more [in Iowa],” said Brumm.

The former Rochester, New York, resident said he also notices a difference in speeds of Iowa drivers.

“On my way to work, people are either driving at or below the speed limit, or extremely over,” Brumm said.

While they may seem leisurely to some, Iowa’s driving conditions may be more hostile for others. Whether you are an Iowa native or an out-of-stater, it is important to stay alert and adapt to the area you are driving in.

MORRIS p1 said. ““Eventually I’ll get to it. But if we win games, I’ll be happy.”

Morris is also lending a hand to Jackson, who is still attempting to get the hang of things in Division I basketball after transferring from Iowa Western Community College.

Jackson said he likes to play point guard and run the offense, but is happy at the 2 spot as well, where he could see time this season when Morris is on the court.

WEILER-BABB p1 defensive, hardnosed guy, but I’ve added that aspect of scoring and getting to the rim, and I’ve just been able to shoot it a lot better since I’ve been here.”

Prohm expects Nick to have a significant role throughout next season, with many speculating that he could fit into a sixth-man role on the team.

And while Prohm will look

“He’s been a great help,” Jackson said. “He’s been helping me with my transition from college because the transition from junior college isn’t that easy. The help that he provides me is greatly appreciated.”

Jackson said he’s ready to go whenever the team calls on him.

Prohm’s decision with the point guard is paramount to the team’s success. His teams in the past have focused around a solid point guard: Isiah Canaan and Cameron Payne, both point

guards under Prohm at Murray State, are both in the NBA. Now that Prohm is entering his second season, he is starting to incorporate his style of play a little more.

And that includes speed.

“I think last year we transitioned to pace,” Prohm said. “I like to play like that way and I’m comfortable playing that way. I play [the point guard] a lot of minutes. That’s an extension of the coach. That’s who I want running our basketball team.”

for significant offensive production out of him, his defensive versatility makes him stand out.

“He’s versatile enough to where he can guard the 1, the 2, the 3, the 4,” Prohm said. “If you’re going to play four guards, you have to have a four man or one of your guards be tough enough and resilient enough to guard a post guy, and I think he has that.”

It’ll take time to see how

Nick performs on the court.

To be fair, he hasn’t played in a real game in over a year.

Nick isn’t worried about it, though. He’s just happy to be back on the court and receiving recognition.

He made it.

“My dad always told me when I was little, ‘Oh, you’re a late bloomer,’” Nick said.

“I realized that as the times went past, and just sticking with it … it’s good to feel that everything has paid off.

On security, Ames Police Chief Charles Cychosz met with the Student Government to give an update on the status of the implementation of additional security on campus through cameras.

“If we can’t get enough facts, then we just don’t know enough to do anything,” Cychosz said.

The priority locations of where the potential security cameras are Chamberlain, Welch and Stanton Avenue.

When asked about the number of cameras to be installed, Cychosz said that in order to make the area safer for students, one or more may be needed, but no number is set until a conversation takes place.

“This is not controlled by police,” Cychosz said. “The idea is that this will be controlled through the arm of the university would be a comfort to the people here on this campus.”

When asked about who would have control and access of this information, Cychosz said the university would be the decision-maker and not the Ames Police.

He said that there is currently no known budget for cameras, but work is diligently being performed in making this a cost-effective, safe-for-students initiative.

The three new senators also were seated during the meeting: Mallory Gunther, Ian Steenbok and Humair Nadeem.

But some Iowa State administrators have backed away from the idea of the two-tiered or differential tuition model, which will make tuition rates different for underclassmen and upperclassmen — something that already exists for some majors such as design and engineering.

Staudt said the pressure from the Iowa Legislature and Gov. Terry Brandstand influenced administrators to nix the campus-wide approach.

“Students are livid,” said Sen. Abhijit Patwa. “The general consensus is extremely unhappy.”

Patwa said that one of the concerns he has heard students express is the perceived lack of transparency from the university administration, and that students only found out about the tuition increases approved over the summer once they returned to campus in the fall.

The current proposal is expected to be 3 percent for non-residents, 2 percent for residents, and five majors are expected to be added to the differential system.

“I’ve expressed my concerns multiple times to the board about the growing divide between resident and non-resident tuition, especially as state funding continues to dwindle,” Staudt said. “The burden is being put on non-resident and international students.”
