Biden says no to presidential run By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com
Iowa State Daily
Vice President Joe Biden visits Iowa State in March 2012. Biden said Wednesday he will not run for president.
Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday he will not run for the Democratic nomination, ending months of speculation on if he would jump in the race to challenge frontrunner Hillary Clinton. Speaking from the Rose Garden at the White House with President Obama and his wife, Jill, at his side, Biden said there is “no timetable” for him to mount a successful run for president. “As the family and I have worked through the grieving process, I’ve said all along what I’ve
said time and again to others, that it may very well be that that process, by the time we get through it, closes the window on mounting a realistic campaign for president,” Biden said. “I’ve concluded it has closed.” Biden said he and his family have been grieving since the death of his son, Beau, who died of brain cancer earlier this year. While he will not be running, Biden said he will be a voice in the 2016 election by not being “silent,” and talking about where the Democratic Party stands on issues. He also said it would be a “mistake” for America to undo policies enacted during the two
terms of President Obama. “I intend to speak out clearly and forcefully, to influence as much as I can where we stand as a party and where we need to go as a nation,” Biden said. Draft Biden, a Super PAC urging him to run, picked up supporters nationwide backing a Biden presidential bid, including state Rep. Lissa Heddens and Sen. Herman Quirmbach, both Democrats from Ames. “I’m disappointed that he opted not to seek the presidential nomination,” Heddens said. “I do appreciate the time he took to mull it over. He’s gone through very sad circumstances, a lot with
his son, and I know that played a part in his decision making. I think he’s doing what’s right for himself and his family.” Biden deciding not to run leaves Clinton, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee in the race for Democrats. Heddens said she continues to listen to all candidates and has not made a decision on endorsing someone else before the Iowa Caucus, which is currently scheduled for Feb. 1. “I’m disappointed,” Quirm-

The Iowa School of Burlesque promotes body positivity through apprentice program By Andi.Schieszler @iowastatedaily.com
F
rom wispy, glittering eyelashes and satin gloves to enticing music and seductive body movements, a burlesque performer has complete control of what the audience will experience. The Iowa School of Burlesque works to mold apprentices of all backgrounds into people who are completely confident. “Burlesque is a way to give the finger to the boxes people are put into,” said Matt Hoover, a graduate of the Iowa School of Burlesque. Students at the Iowa School of Burlesque are encouraged by the school’s head mistress, Phoenix L’Amour, to use the apprenticeship as an opportunity to fully accept themselves. L’Amour created the apprentice program for people who were serious about wanting to learn burlesque. Aside from learning the history of burlesque and the dance itself, the program integrates con-
fidence building. Students are encouraged to learn how other people view them and be able to accept and overcome their insecurities. “[Burlesque] made me do things I was uncomfortable doing,” L’Amour said. L’Amour designed the program based on what she wished she had learned early in her career. She started dancing burlesque after learning she and her roommate enjoyed the style, and the two formed a troupe after contacting as many established dancers as they could. L’Amour first started to dance burlesque after a breakup. She was in a troupe with nine members, the St. Vitus Taxi Dancers. “After my breakup, it made me realize my potential as a human,” L’Amour said. L’Amour wanted to create a program that was authentic. As she was designing the program she wanted to create a class that was gritty and went back to the foundations for what burlesque
actually meant. Christine Bird, another graduate of the Iowa School of Burlesque, used burlesque as a form of therapy after having a bad experience with a therapist. As someone whose sexuality is less known, she did not feel included in a single group. Bird said her therapist tried to tell her she was just going through a phase and that she would be able to get over it and just be normal. “When you perform, you’re up [on stage] being vulnerable and still are getting positive feedback,” she said. L’Amour said the apprentice program is all about being vulnerable and uncomfortable so a student can break down barriers they have. She said being on stage, locking eyes with someone and touching yourself is uncomfortable at first but also very intimate for both the performer and viewer. “For me, burlesque was about taking back ownership of my body,” said April Lausier, a graduate of the Iowa School of
Burlesque. Lausier attended her first burlesque show with her mother in New Orleans at the age of 15, where she became interested in the form of dance. Lausier had suffered from eating disorders and body dimorphic disorder, and while her mother had been body-positive and encouraged self-acceptance, Lausier still struggled to feel comfortable with her body image. Lausier’s experience with the apprentice program was about showing herself body acceptance. When she initially began the program she kept her body more covered, but now she is comfortable enough to dance in less clothing, making sure she follows the legal allowances for burlesque dance and body exposure. After completing the program, Lausier has the confidence to stand up for who she is and what she believes. “If I see something I feel is not right, I’m more likely to speak out
BURLESQUE p3
O’Malley still in contention for Democratic race By Rakiah.Bonjour @iowastatedaily.com The first Democratic debate showed Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in full force, and while Lincoln Chafee and Jim Webb were mostly quiet, Martin O’Malley had a chance to prove he is a serious contender. Several supporters and political experts weighed in on O’Malley’s performance and what he can do moving forward. Evan Abramsky, junior in political science and president of Cyclones for Martin O’Malley, said the questions were mainly for Sanders and Clinton, and O’Malley held his ground when given the chance, although rarely. O’Malley’s opening statement promised hope for future generations. He touted energy renewal programs, mentioned his gun reform platform and reminded the nation what he had done for the state of Maryland. But some critics say his performance was weakened by his persona, which still needs work. “Others with more dollars and better-known voices, like [Clinton] or [Sanders] have taken air out of the room,” said Mack Shelley, professor of political sci-

ence. “He’s not as engaging as [Sanders] and not as well-known as [Clinton] but he doesn’t have baggage that they have.” Shelley said O’Malley should work on two things: his persona and being a distinguished position-leader. “When you’re a governor, you don’t want to stick out,” Shelley said. “Running for governor is different than running for president.” State Rep. Dan Kelley, DNewton, has endorsed O’Malley and disagrees with critics’ com-
ments about O’Malley’s personality. “I think he has a great persona,” Kelley said. “He has workingclass values and a proven track record. Once voters get to know him, they’ll see.” Despite O’Malley’s average performance, he did not grip the issues like the other candidates did, Shelley said. “He echoed whatever [Clinton] was saying,” Shelley said. “He has to find something to be outstanding at.” O’Malley can pick a number of positions to be outstanding at, but his most recent efforts are focused domestically, where a lot of his experiences lies. “He had a great closing statement and did a great job pushing pro-gun reform and his clean energy platform,” Abramsky said. “He was quiet on other issues.” But many agree that this is only the beginning for O’Malley and there is plenty of time. “You have to pay your dues,” Shelley said. Shelley explained that O’Malley is still quite young even with his experience as governor. Shelley said he is someone who can be looked at as a “next generation leader,” much like Sanders was in the 1980s.
“The caucus is still months away and a poll is only a snapshot in time,” Kelley said. “The caucus is what truly matters.” Abramsky agreed, saying it was “too early to tell,” and that there is still a lot to be decided on. Now that Vice President Joe Biden has announced he will not run, many Democrats are left deciding on a new candidate. Abramsky said upwards of 20 percent of likely caucusgoers now need to find a new candidate, and O’Malley could take up some support from them. The best way for O’Malley to enhance his candidacy before caucus season is by biding his time. Kelley says as the debate goes on and his campaign continues, voters will better get to know O’Malley. Abramsky thinks O’Malley reaching out to the nation on talk shows like he has this week on The Daily Show and The View is a good sign for being able to reach voters. The way the rest of the nation may see O’Malley does not falter Kelley’s view of him. Kelley said he is a strong candidate with experience to show for it. “I just want to make sure a Democrat is in the oval office, and I think O’Malley can be that Democrat,” Kelley said.
Student Government and Ames City Council discussed several issues that affect students, such as transportation and housing costs at a joint meeting Wednesday night. At the beginning of the discussion, Michael Snook, vice speaker of the Senate, asked the council about the trend of rising funding for CyRide and making the system more efficient. “Every community is responsible for providing a reliable network for transit,” said Matthew Goodman, city councilman. He expressed worry about a buffet style transit system, and that it might create unneeded rides. Sen. Robert Dunn talked about his concern for the waste in Cyride routes he sees and wondered about ending the 7 Purple route and instead extending the 1 Red. Sheri Kyras, director of transit for CyRide, said the 7 Purple route is a helper route for Red, and there are residents who want and need service, which is why the 7 Purple route was created. Dunn also said he was “appalled at the city’s failure to maintain the winter roads.” He had personally witnessed a five-car pileup because of slick roads. Ames City Manager Steve Schainker, said the expectations might be wrong for plowing, explaining that the plow will not blade down to the concrete, and it is everyone’s responsibility to drive slower. Sen. Abbie Lang asked for an explanation for all the metered parking in Ames. She asked why there were certain restrictions at different locations and days. “All the city is trying to do is recapture its cost. Parking meters are there to create turnover,” Schainker said. He said businesses want those parking meters there to promote their businesses and get more customers. Student Government President Dan Breitbarth questioned why there was no overnight parking in Campustown for the permanent residents near Welch Avenue. Some residents may have to pay for their parking in the middle of the night. Gloria Betcher, Ward Two representative, said there is a “lot more pressure on parking.” Permanent residents of Campustown are getting their cars towed because of a lack of overnight parking and have said they believe Ames needs to treat park-

Playing the climate card NextGen members earn trip to Vegas to watch Democratic debate By Kelsey.Palmros @iowastatedaily.com The NextGen organization sent two ISU students to Las Vegas last week to participate in the Democratic debate. NextGen, a nonpartisan organization dedicated to inserting climate change into Iowa politics, sent Lauren Engley, senior in animal science, and Sierra Ballard, sophomore in prebusiness, to Las Vegas to watch the Democratic debate. Both active members of the on-campus organization went to share their
views on climate change while sporting NextGen shirts. “[NextGen] is a national organization, and they called Iowa State and said that they had two extra tickets and got to send two of us,” said Engley, president of NextGen on campus. Since NextGen is nonpartisan, Ballard and Engley did not support any specific candidate at the debate and instead listened for plans candidates have for climate change and shared their message. “It was a really good first experience into the political world,” Engley
said. “I really feel like I got involved for the first time.” Tessa Lengeling, press secretary for NextGen, explained that as an organization, NextGen promotes 50 by 30, meaning it wants 50 percent clean energy by 2030. NextGen has been active on campus since 2014 and has been an organization since 2013. “We are the next generation,” Lengeling said. NextGen’s main goal is to call on candidates from both sides to create an energy plan that fits in with what NextGen promotes. “I think it’s great for them to have their voices
heard,” Lengeling said. Engley and Ballard were also invited to attend some of the post parties that followed the debate. “We got to stay in the hotel right there where the debate was,” Engley said. “There were rallies and we got to be there in our NextGen outfits.” NextGen has bi-weekly meetings and hosts events throughout the year. This Friday, NextGen will host a documentary viewing. “We have been organizing at Iowa State more heavily this year, just when the students got back in session,” Lengeling said.

Community involvement benefits mental health By Alex.Cory @iowastatedaily.com A group of ISU researchers is analyzing data about the effects of community engagement on students’ mental health. Bringing Theory to Practice, a nonprofit, is working with professor Robert Reason on a project to survey students from nine different universities about their attitudes toward community service and their mental health. The researchers said the study suggests that community engagement
has a positive effect on mental health. “We write the one fast way to doing well, is by doing good,” Reason said. Reason also said it was beneficial for students’ mental health if they felt connected to their community. The research uses the mental health continuum short-form, which asks about specific feelings during the period of a few weeks, to measure mental health. “When students feel like they have learned the skills to change society for the better, they have
BURLESQUE p1 about it,” Lausier said. Lausier’s stage name is Queen Anatomic, which she created because her day job is a nurse. She likes to use her character for social commentary and to create acts based on what is going on in her life. While not all of the people in the burlesque community use the dance as a form of therapy, it is used as a method of empowerment. Jasmine Higvay entered the apprentice program after being inspired by seeing Dita Von Teese perform her martini dance in Marilyn Manson’s mOBSCENE music video. After being in an office job for seven years, Higvay lacked a creative outlet. She had been in theater in high school and wanted something similar in her adult life. After hearing about the Iowa School of Burlesque she signed up for the apprentice program without really knowing what to ex-
pect. “[L’Amour] helps you navigate why you want to do [the program],” Higvay said. Higvay’s character is Leo the Flash because she knew she wanted her character to be in animal print and over-sexualized. After sitting down with L’Amour, they thought of the name together. “Your classmates are the No. 1 source of positive reinforcement,” Higvay said. Students who go through the burlesque program are put into a vulnerable place that is difficult for those outside the program to understand. The other people in the class are the only ones who understand how the program can help, Higvay said. “In burlesque, you don’t need to look like you came out of a magazine to look beautiful,” Hoover said. After going to the Iowa School of Burlesque’s VARIETEASE show at Maximum Ames last year, Hoover joined the program.
greater mental health,” said Joshua Mitchell, graduate student in education, who helped with the study. Mitchell said it wasn’t the requirement of service learning that was a major predictor of mental health, but rather the student having an appreciation for what the act of service accomplished for the community. “It’s not just infusing civic engagement, but it’s infusing civic engagement as well as stressing the importance of the contribution,” Mitchell said. Mitchell continued, saying another important

Hoover adapted numerous styles for his character, Aleksander Amorphous. Because burlesque is usually adapted to the female body, and the dance moves are based around the female body, Hoover had to find a compromise.

their boundaries. “I think because [burlesque] changed my life so much I wanted other people to have the same change” L’Amour said. “Everyone’s experience is different because we all work on different things. I am committed to each [apprentice] on a personal level.” While students are put in a vulnerable place by completely exposing themselves, breaking down boundaries and opening their minds to L’Amour, the program is structured so each student can work on what is important to them. “In a lot of creative aspects there is always a limit,” L’Amour said. Every apprentice creates a profile for their character, a persona they portray on stage. L’Amour encourages every student to extensively research the name they choose to make sure it is completely unique. Once a student chooses a name, they work with L’Amour on the character-
istics of the persona. Past apprentices have done everything from dumping multiple pounds of bubble gum on themselves to biting into a pig heart. L’Amour encourages uniqueness and is open to creativity, especially when it comes to character development. Anyone over age 21 can apply to the apprentice program through an online application that is posted on the Iowa School of Burlesque’s website. Everyone who applies must pay a $10 application fee. If a student is accepted, they must pay additional tuition, which is currently $250. Every semester of the apprentice program includes mandatory classes and shows every student must attend. Every student must also attend private sessions with L’Amour, which they arrange on the first day of class. The next application period for the Iowa School of Burlesque will open Feb. 27, 2016 and close Mar. 27, 2016.

rience of community service stick, it’s important for colleges to not just make it a check on a list, but an experience that the student recognizes as valuable. “We just need to make sure they understand why they’re doing that service learning,” Mitchell said. He said students can recognize the value of community service through discussion and reflection, which leaves them with an ingrained understanding of what they accomplished. “It’s really everyone’s responsibility to take charge of what the campus climate is,” Mitchell said.

Columnist Lawson argues that WWE should be considered a sport and broadcast on ESPN. Critics believe WWE stars are not athletes, despite rigourous training and workouts, because their performances are partially scripted.
Wrestlers are athletes, too ESPN partnering with WWE gives overdue recognition By Angelica.Lawson @iowastatedaily.com
T
wo types of wrestling exist — ‘take him down for two counts’ kind of wrestling and the ‘Big Show: The Rock and John Cena’ kind of wrestling, also known as WWE. ESPN recently announced a weekly highlight about the WWE shows that will be added to the network, and some viewers are resentful. Professional wrestling is an international phenomena. The brand that sits alone atop the professional wrestling industry in the United States is WWE, which used to stand for World Wrestling Entertainment. Vince McMahon, founder of WWE, announced in 2011 that WWE would no longer stand for World Wrestling Entertainment, and would only be known as WWE. Although WWE no longer has a meaning, an aspect of it that has not changed are the men and women who are responsible for entertaining audiences while working hard to stay fit. These men and women have to intertwine wrestling, entertainment and fitness. ESPN announced on SportsCenter that it will partner with WWE. Many people don’t like this union because they don’t think the stars of WWE are real athletes and deny that professional wrestling is a real sport.
An athlete is defined as “a person who is trained in or good at sports, games or exercises that require physical skill and strength,” according to Merriam-Webster. The stars of WWE fall under this definition. They have vigorous workouts, and they exhibit their strength on a regular basis. People argue that professional wrestling is fake and that the men and women who are employed by the WWE are nothing but actors. If you pay any attention to the WWE, you already know it’s scripted, and the show is open about that. But you cannot deny that these men and women are athletes. They are physically fit and they have earned the right for their highlights to run on ESPN. The people who are against the newly forged partnership between ESPN and WWE vary in their beliefs as to why this goes against for what ESPN is supposed to stand. On one hand, you have Michael Bradley of the National Sports Journalism Center, one of the people opposed to coverage of WWE on ESPN. In his story “Let’s hope media outlets remember what “E” in WWE means,” he address his concerns about the entertainment aspects of WWE and how it does not provide truthfulness — it includes scripted drama, and past winners have been predetermined. This infringed upon the credibility of WWE and ESPN. The title of his story is troubling, however, because the Es on ESPN and WWE both stand for the same thing: Entertainment. ESPN has captured the market on sports infotainment, and WWE is one of
the most successful entertainment companies around. In the same vein, you have What Culture’s John Canton of Canada also writing about the ESPN and WWE partnership. He doesn’t think this form of wrestling is a real sport, so why would ESPN cover it like a real sport? Whether you believe WWE wrestling is a real sport, you cannot deny the WWE athletes have the right to be showcased on the network. Another criticism against ESPN showing WWE highlights comes from some people who claim WWE wrestlers aren’t athletes because their sport is not competitive and they do not have to face the same obstacles as “real” athletes. You don’t become the face of an entire company by accident. You don’t magically pick up another human your weight or larger without hard work and dedication. The men and women who wrestle for WWE have every right to be on ESPN. You can dislike the industry, but saying WWE wrestlers aren’t real athletes because you don’t like the storyline or you don’t see the competitive aspects is not a good enough reason to count them out of the athletic world. Robin Quivers wrote in her Huffington Post blog “What Makes an Athlete” about what it was like when she realized she was an athlete because of her marathon experience. It’s about training — building strength and stamina — and then performing. That’s what makes athletes who they are.
Constitutional amendments: false hope Presidential candidates promising change have no power to overturn past decisions By Khayree.Fitten @iowastatedaily.com Marbury v. Madison, Dred Scott v. Sandford, Brown v. Board and Roe v. Wade are just a few of the most well-known decisions from the Supreme Court during the past 200 years. Yet in the past few months, two cases in more recent history have drawn the most attention. In the 2016 presidential election, Democrats have reprimanded the court’s opinions concerning campaign finance, specifically the Citizen’s United case, calling for fairy-tale constitutional amendments to reverse the decision. At the same time, Republicans have admonished the judiciary for its recent decision on same-sex marriage, Obergefell v. Hodges, and have demanded retention elections for justices. The nature of proposed solutions, definitions of judicial activism and the litmus tests they would require for any justice are exceptionally concerning. The enormity of constitutional amendments is such that
we have had just 27 in the history of our country, and retention elections are the same flawed mechanism that removed three qualified jurists from the Iowa Supreme Court in 2010. Such promises from candidates are disingenuous at best and manipulative at worst. The Supreme Court dog whistle has been put to great use this election and only serves to defy genuine solutions required on these issues. Accusations of judicial activism have become tools of democratic demagoguery on both sides of the aisle. As an article in the National Review put it, politicians “ultimately [call] for curbing judicial excesses only when the outcomes are contrary to their own policy desires.” Had Obergefell produced a different result, Bernie Sanders would object to the denial of marriage benefits to same-sex couples, even though Chief Justice John Roberts’s dissent occupies no less than 29 pages of well reasoned, eloquent dissent in the history books. Mike Huckabee has failed to take exception to the appear-
ance of impropriety when the court decided Citizens United, facts that certainly wouldn’t have been lost on him had the court ruled another way. Additionally, candidates have taken this opportunity to establish a single-issue litmus test on the aforementioned cases. The danger of such campaign promises was most persuasively demonstrated more than 30 years ago. During her confirmation hearings, Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, the court’s first female jurist, said, “I do not believe that as a nominee I can tell you how I might vote on a particular issue which may come before the court, or endorse or criticize specific Supreme Court decisions presenting issues which may well come before the court again.” O’Connor appropriately felt that if she prejudged any issue she would then have to disqualify herself from that matter, which would be a dereliction of her duties. Her sentiment is at the very essence of the Court’s creation, justified in No. 78 of The Federalist Papers.
The authors of Federalist No. 78, most notably Alexander Hamilton, felt that, “A constitution is, in fact, and must be regarded by the judges, as a fundamental law. It therefore belongs to them to ascertain its meaning.” While I respect Sanders and Huckabee and recognize that they may someday soon be in a position to nominate the Supreme Court justices, they are not constitutional scholars. As Federalist No. 78 says, “independence of the judges is equally requisite to guard the Constitution and the rights of individuals from the effects of ill humors.” Four members of the Supreme Court are above the age of 70 and nearing retirement, meaning that the next presidential election will certainly impact the composition of the court, and generations of established law hang in the balance. In our republic, perhaps nothing else could be as important as the delicate relationship between the executive and judicial branches. To date, many candidates are failing to meet the mark.
CyRide growth could cost students Since 1981 CyRide has helped the students and residents of Ames get around the city and Iowa State’s campus and ultimately has made it possible for campus and the student body to expand. If CyRide didn’t exist, neither would the possibility for housing in West Ames or in the Copper Beach and Grove Apartments area because there would be no convenient way for those students to get to campus, even if they had a car. Ultimately, the fleet of CyRide buses and drivers has made it possible to grow the Iowa State family, to a certain extent. But with 36,001 Iowa Staters on campus this school year, students are outnumbering CyRide’s reach and it is a serious issue that could have a negative domino effect on students’ pocketbooks. Tuesday night the Ames City Council met with the CyRide Board of Trustees to discuss the current state of CyRide’s routes, drivers and number of buses and what should be done to rectify the situation. In the course of only three years both federal transportation funding has been lost and the student body increased by nearly 5,000 students, which has lead to a whole host of other issues. Currently students pay $66.35 per semester for Cyride, which is part of mandatory student fees, but that will be increased to $73.10 per semester to cover the cost of having CyRide for student use. The money issues don’t stop there. Sheri Kyras, the CyRide transit director, said to keep up with the demands of the programs it could cost up to $50,000 per bus and $200,000 per route per year due to the fact that changes need to be made to the current structure by adding new buses and routes or seriously revamping the model that is currently in place. Councilmen Matthew Goodman suggested removing the “student’s ride free” part of CyRide. Although he says he doesn’t want to reduce the number of students who use CyRide, making them pay to ride would do just that. No student wants to pay out of pocket. Warren Madden, ISU senior vice president for business and finance, made the suggestion that class timing be altered to remove peak ridership times before and after classes. But this possibility would mean impacting lecture hall and classroom rental times and the way students pick their classes. We, as the editorial board, spent about a half hour trying to come up with our own suggestions to fix these issues and had a hard time finding a solution. We can only imagine what administration’s conversations are like. The only way to fix the CyRide saturation is if students voice their suggestions to the administration.

ISU mistakes serve as kryptonite By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com Wally Burnham has been a defensive football coach for more than four decades, but even he hasn’t seen it all — at least he hadn’t before he laid eyes on the tape of Baylor this season. “Back in the day when I was at Florida State, we played Nebraska, and they were really good. We played Florida, and they were really good. We played Miami and Auburn, and they were really, really good, Offensively, they don’t come close to Baylor,� Burnham said. “It’s the most prolific, efficient offense I’ve ever coached against.� There are few reasons and even fewer avenues by which to sugarcoat the matchup the Cyclones are slated for this Saturday in Waco, Texas. Baylor is the nation’s No. 1 offense by a large margin and by any objective measuring tool available, simply a better team top to bottom than Iowa State. So for the Cyclones, the name of this particular game must be perfection in execution — flawless consistency. After falling to Texas Tech and Texas Christian by a combined score of 111-56, flawlessness seems the only way to keep
Max Goldberg/Iowa State Daily
Running back Joshua Thomas is tackled during last Saturday’s game against Texas Christian. After jumping out to an early 21-14 lead against TCU in the first half, the ISU offense stalled, going scoreless the rest of the game.
pace with a Baylor, and the path to it starts with blanking out unforced errors and penalties that rob the team of valuable yards. “We’re stopping ourselves. Our wounds on offense are self-inflicted,� said ISU offensive coordinator Mark Mangino, referencing how his offense stalled out after grabbing a 21-14 lead last weekend against TCU heading into the second quarter. “If you look at the game and study and analyze it, we’re moving the ball the whole game, but we have these self-inflicted wounds once we get across the 50-
yard line. We’ve got to stop it.� Tied at 21-21 in the second quarter, Iowa State found itself in the red zone before an errant option pitch changed both the possession of the ball and the momentum of the game. Against the top Big 12 competition, whether it’s TCU last week, Baylor on Saturday or Oklahoma two weeks down the road, sometimes one play is all it takes. “I think that play [against TCU] where we were going to throw a deep post, and the [cornerback] comes unblocked, and we fumbled the ball — that
could be a 14-point swing there just like that,� Richardson said of the team’s second turnover of the game. “We were really close there on Saturday. It was one play away.� The Cyclones also committed eight penalties against the Horned Frogs, costing themselves 55 yards. Three of those penalties afforded the Horned Frogs first downs, and when opposing a Baylor offense that’s even more prolific, moving the ball for the other team is tantamount to football suicide. The rest of the penalties were mostly senseless,
pre-snap issues that stalled drives; another Achilles’ heel when 40 or 50 points are generally required even to be competitive in a game against a team like the Bears, let alone win it. In terms of overall penalty yards this season, Iowa State actually hasn’t been all that bad. The Cyclones rank 52nd nationally with 52.7 penalty yards incurred on just over six yellow flags thrown their way per game. But if even one such penalty extends a Baylor drive or halts an ISU drive, it could prove a wind of change strong enough to slam the door on the Cyclones. “You’ve always got to be pressing because you never know how a game can change there toward the end, and what play is going to change the outcome of the game,� Richardson said. “That’s the beauty of football. Anything can change any part of the game at any time.� Mangino made assurances that if the Cyclones on the field can’t find a way to change the game in the way Richardson referenced, then the change will come from the sideline as adjustments to playing time. ISU coach Paul Rhoads echoed Mangino’s sentiment. “Playing time is a pretty good way of having leverage,� Rhoads said.
Big 12 expansion benefits Iowa State By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com The Big 12 added six affiliate schools for wrestling in the off-season, bringing the total number of teams in the conference to 10. Last season, the Big 12 tournament wasn’t an automatic qualifier for the NCAA tournament because only four programs in the conference offered wrestling. Wrestlers can automatically qualify for the NCAA tournament through two ways. The first way is to meet the threshold in two of the three categories: Division-I winning percentage at the weight class, ratings percentage index and coaches rankings. The second is for a wrestler to win the con-
ference tournament at his weight. After that, the NCAA Division-I Wrestling Committee meets in person to select 70 remaining at-large qualifiers. The problem for the Big 12 was that having only four teams doesn’t qualify it as an automatic qualifying conference. But now — with the addition of North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Wyoming, Air Force, Utah Valley and Northern Colorado — the Big 12 boasts a qualifying tournament once again. “I just think it’s good for wrestling,� said ISU coach Kevin Jackson. “It solidifies those programs on their own campus, in their own athletic departments. It makes the Big 12 Conference tougher. We are an automatic qualifying tournament again.� The new conference
tournament will take place somewhere that may have a soft spot in many ISU fans’ hearts. “I’ve never been off campus for a Big 12 Championship,� Jackson said. “It’s in [Kansas City], where Cyclone fans are used to going for seeing great basketball tournaments.� From a wrestler’s perspective, the expansion helps a great deal. The former, four-team format at the Big 12 tournament was short and didn’t prepare the wrestlers for the NCAA tournament. Now, they don’t have to travel to as many tournaments throughout the year to simulate the NCAAs. “When we wrestled the Big 12, it was only four teams, and that’s not really a big conference tournament,� said 149-pound Gabe Moreno. “Whereas
you see the Big 10, it’s almost like a mini national tournament. I think now that we’ve added a couple more teams ... it will definitely be a better preparation for the national tournament than in years past.� The addition of the six teams has caused some concern in regard to the newcomers being ready to compete at the Big 12 level right away. However, the new schools had good showings at the NCAA tournament last season. Twenty wrestlers from the six schools the Big 12 added made the NCAA tournament last year. “I think these guys are going to come scrap,� said 133-pound Earl Hall. “It’s college wrestling. I don’t feel like there are any scrubs at all. You might get an easy win here or there, but every time you step
on the mat, you have to be ready to scrap.� The addition of the six schools also takes pressure off of the wrestlers from every squad in the Big 12. If they don’t meet the threshold of two of the three categories it takes to qualify during the regular season, they can wrestle their way in by winning the conference tournament. Fewer guys will have to worry about the wild-card process if they win the conference tournament, which hasn’t always favored the Cyclones in the past. “I think the past three or four years since I’ve been here, we always had a couple guys right on the edge, and we never seemed to get them in,� said 165-pound senior Tanner Weatherman. “A guy like Luke Goettl a couple years ago [and] Kyle Larson last year.�
Flag on the play ISU coach Paul Rhoads and offensive coordinator Mark Mangino pulled no punches while discussing their offense’s i s s u e s w i t h m i s t a k e s. As to why the errors are persisting, Mangino r e m a i n e d p e r p l e xe d . “I’m not a psychologist. All I am is an old football coach,� Mangino said. “If we can’t get [the penalties] cleaned up through coaching and good mental discipline, then we’re going to have to pull some people, put them on the side and maybe play somebody up front that has lesser talent but plays smarter football.� Rhoads wasn’t quite as harsh, but his message was heard just as loudly. He conceded that occasionally, an offensive lineman will make a mistake trying to get in position to pass block, but he added that the rest of the team’s unforced errors remain unacceptable. “We had too many [penalties] Saturday, and too many of the pre-snap variety,� Rhoads said. “With the receivers, there’s no excuse. It’s ridiculous. The offensive linemen ... every now and then, you’re going to have one of those. You’d like to have the discipline where you don’t have them every game.�
Former ISU coaches return to Big 12 Two of the teams that were added to the Big 12 have former Cyclones as head coaches. Chris Bono is coaching at South Dakota State. Bono sits at fifth on the Cyclones’ all-time-wins list. He also won the National Championship at 150 pounds as a junior. Th e o t h e r fo r m e r Cyclone now coaching is Troy Nickerson, who is taking on his first head coaching gig at Northern Colorado University. He coached at Iowa State for two seasons from 2012-14 as an assistan, during which he coached three All-Americans and 10 NCAA qualifiers.

Playboy says goodbye to nude women By Dalton.Gackle @iowastatedaily.com The nudity that gave Playboy its claim to fame more than 60 years ago is on its way out. Starting with the March 2016 issue, Playboy magazine will no longer feature full nudity, the publication announced last week. One of the main reasons cited for the change was that the magazine no longer offers a shock value for its target audience because of the intense competition with free pornographic images and videos on the Internet. “When the Internet came around, it basically became a huge porn site,” said Joel Geske, associate director of the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication. “It used to be that you had a couple of magazine choices, but now there are literally thousands and thousands of websites out there. It’s easier, faster,

Playboy announced it will no longer feature nudity in its magazine beginning with its March 2016 issue.
more private access.” However, Playboy may not be concerned about moving away from featuring nudity.
“Playboy is saying that they are the ones that started it all, and the nudity is kind of old news,” said Deb Gibson, a magazine expert
assigned to the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication from the Meredith Corporation. Playboy’s popularity has decreased steadily for years, starting with competition from other men’s magazines like Maxim in the 1980s. “Playboy hasn’t made money from the magazine in several decades,” Gibson said. The magazine’s popularity surged through the first few decades and then peaked in the 1970s, with its top circulation reaching 5.6 million in 1975. “The idea of Playboy was that men worked hard and should be entertained and that they deserve the good life,” Gibson said. “This carried the magazine through the changing times in the country and formed a brand of pursuing your passion even if it doesn’t align with society.” The Playboy brand holds a sense of tradition for several generations of young men. The question
is whether the idea of the brand changes when the full nudity disappears. “The whole Playboy brand is built on the idea that women are men’s playthings,” Geske said. “Will that philosophy change? I don’t know.” Consequently, what does that mean for the current generation of readers and for future generations? However, the removal of completely nude photos does not mean that overall content will change. “The jury is still out on that,” Geske said. “We haven’t seen what they are going to have in their content. Just because the photos that they do have won’t have nudity, it does not mean that the images will not be
sexualized.” Playboy could also return to writing long, highprofile feature stories. In the past,the magazine included Q&A sections and profiles of famous people such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Jimmy Carter and John Lennon. “Playboy actually did have a time when they had very high-quality editorial content,” Gibson said. “Men used to pick up the magazine for more than just the nudes.” A running joke has existed for several generations that the nudity is not what attracts the magazine’s audience. “Men have always said that they have bought it for the articles. Well, we’ll see,” Geske said.

Co’Motion Dance Theater performs about three times each year. Its fall show this year is “Catching Up.”
“The satisfaction lies in the journey, not the goal,” according to the official event poster. Co’Motion Dance The-
ater performs, on average, three times a year, and hosts numerous programs throughout the year. One of the annual programs is “Kids’ Co’Motion,” which is designed for children between the ages of 8 and 18. The program teaches modern dance technique, composition theory and production and practice techniques. The three-week program is hosted at Iowa State’s Forker Building and finishes at the Ames City Auditorium. “Women in Motion” is a similar program designed for female adults. In addition to its Ames-based programs,

Co’Motion Dance Theater can also be hired for school performances as well as inschool programs designed for younger students. “It’s fall. We’re getting focused.

BIDEN p1 bach said. “I have huge respect for Vice President Biden. I think he has tremendous leadership skills, tremendous knowledge and expertise on all kinds of issues. I can’t image a person better qualified and I think he would have been very good and successful as a candidate.” Quirmbach said after decades of service and recent grieving, he can’t “begrudge” Biden for his decision. He also said he has not given “much thought” on endorsing another can-

Danielle Nygard asked if the council had ever discussed putting a pricing cap on rental charges. Tim Gartin, Ward One representative, said there had not been discussion of a cap and that the general result of rent control is not a

Mack Shelley, professor of political science, said Biden opting not to run helps Clinton, as he lines up with her more politically, compared with someone like Sanders. “It’s more likely to help her, than to help Bernie,” Shelley said. “It makes him more of a free agent, and based on one’s political perspective, if he endorses Hillary, that endorsement would carry a fair bit of weight with centrist Democrats.”
Democratic candidates also weighed in quickly, offering praise of Biden. Clinton said Biden is a “good friend and a great man,” while Sanders offered praise of his speech where he mentioned income inequality, closing tax loopholes and protecting “dignity for all.” O’Malley said Biden is a “very good and decent man” and his experience would have been welcome in the race. Chafee priased Biden’s years of service, both as a U.S. senator and as vice president.

Population growth is felt across the ISU campus and Ames, and there has been a growing need for housing with the university’s rising enrollment during the last three years. Betcher pointed out that there will be a Lincoln Way corridor study on housing that might open up availability along Lincoln Way. Sen. Matthew Teubert said he thought students are
underrepresented on City Council and asked if students have the opportunity to run for City Council. “Absolutely,” Campbell said, saying there have been students on council in the past. The Senate also unanimously approved the nominations of Jackie Dale, Brooke Bolam, Molly Ewanika, Noah Collins and Srikanthan Ramesh to the Election Commission, which oversees Student Government elections.
