“Finding out was the weirdest thing because you have this preconceived notion of what cancer is. But you don’t really understand what it all entails until it happens to somebody you love.” - Jessica Parrott

Fighting back Student shares family experience about survival of loved one’s cancer struggle Breast cancer statistics

By Matthew.Rezab @iowastatedaily.com Sitting in the sanitized light of a conference room describing two-year-old events, the emotion behind Jessica Parrott’s brown eyes betray the steadiness of her voice when she describes one of the most harrowing events of her life — discovering her mother had breast cancer. As Breast Cancer Awareness Month winds to an end, the prospect of taking an out of sight, out of mind attitude toward breast cancer is a luxury thousands of families in Iowa and millions of families around the nation can’t afford. The Parrott family is one of those families. Parrott, a freshman in genetics, was in her junior year of high school in 2012 when she and her mother, Lee Parrott, were on their way from their home in Portage, Wis., to Thanksgiving dinner at her grandparents home in Milwaukee. Lee’s parents already knew she had cancer and Lee decided her daughter needed to know before they arrived. “I remember in the car, it was so weird because we were just driving, listening to music,” said Parrott. “She

Council discusses vendor background check By Molly.Willson @iowastatedaily.com The Ames City Council discussed the residential satisfaction survey and new municipal codes for vendors at last night’s council meeting. Each year the City of Ames administers a resident satisfaction survey to determine the opinion of residents and students about the city of Ames. The city received 530 returned surveys. Students make up 48 percent of those returned surveys. The city saw drops in satisfaction in law enforcement and Cyride services this year. They will look into these numbers and what the cause in these drops could potentially be. Overall, there was a 98 percent satisfaction rate. The city is currently looking at changing the municipal

codes for food vendors, including student favorites on Welch Ave. These changes include displaying of permit at all times. Other changes included not allowing “those with a felony in the last five years” to own a permit and permits may be used for a year with a renewal needed every year. Gartin moved to make the appeal process for a vendor permit 20 days, as opposed to 14, in order to give permit holders more time to appeal a denial of a permit. The motion was moved unanimously with Goodman abstaining due to conflicts of interest. Tim Gartin, a member of the city council, also made a motion to remove the background check on permit holders in order to allow an individual with a felony to own any type of vending cart, vehicle or person. Concerns were raised by many council members about removing this background check due to problems with registered sex offenders and vending

those on the sex offender registry, cannot work at vendor carts. The new code will prohibit those with felonies in the past five years to

EDITORIAL

Have a voice, attend GSB open forum By Iowa State Daily Editorial Board The concern of student enrollment has been something that students have been talking about since the beginning of the school year. CyRide, sidewalks and classrooms are more packed in with more students than ever before. The student body is growing at a rate that seems impossible to keep up with, and that is why tonight is more important to students than any other. We are finally getting the answers about student enrollment. President Steven Leath, Senior Vice President and Provost Jonathan Wickert, Warren Madden, Senior Vice President of business and finance, and Miles Lackey, Associate Vice President and Chief of Staff, will be attending an enrollment growth open forum meeting with the Government of the Student Body at 7 p.m. It has been requested in an email sent to all current students by GSB that as many students as possible attend this meeting, and that is exactly what should happen tonight. Students are the first people on campus to start complaining about the congestion that is happening on Iowa State’s campus, but now it is time to step up and speak to the people who are actually going to be able to make a difference. Because this GSB senator meeting is an open forum, any student who wants answers about enrollment or has specific questions on the topic is suggested to attend the meeting. Complaining to our friends on an overloaded CyRide is simply not enough. If we want to see a solution to the over enrollment crisis happening at Iowa State, we need to go straight to the source. This is the chance for students to speak up. “Everyone at this university is working every day toward these solutions,” said Khayree Fitten, GSB senator. “Part of the conversation then is making sure we have all of the information when we’re approaching those issues and solutions. Is that part of the solution — getting other people involved.” Student involvement, like in most issues on campus, is the key to fixing those issues. Attending this meeting means that you care about the well-being and future of this campus. Enrollment issues affect everyone on campus, whether you live in the dorms and on campus or if you have to take the bus or walk everyday. Things like dining centers, CyRide and classroom sizes are all things that are affected by the number of students on Iowa State’s campus. Administration at this school is realizing that enrollment is a real problem at this school, and they are asking students how to fix it. Make tonight’s meeting your priority. If you have something about this campus that you feel needs to be discussed with administration, then you should be in attendance. Let’s show our campus leaders that we are not all gossip and that when it comes time to step up to the plate on student issues, we are ready to go.

Adding ‘allies’ to LGBT acronym sparks controversy By Morgan.Kelly @iowastatedaily.com Something as simple as doting a rainbow pin can show someone as an ally to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. Recently, there have been discussions about whether or not allies should be included in the LGBT acronym, making it LGBTQA for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning and ally. Brad Freihoefer, director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Student Services, said how people define what an ally is can depend on context, location and that person’s role in the community. Freihoefer said a person can be an ally whether they are in the LGBT community or not. Allies need to understand that they have a personal privilege and power and it affects them as an ally. “It’s the structure that holds oppression in place,” Freihoefer said. “It’s really about where your position of privilege and power is in this structure of oppression.” Freihoefer then gave an example to relate how privilege played a role in people’s lives even before they knew what privilege meant. “When we think back to the days of coloring in Kindergarten, what crayon was labeled flesh tone? Generally white folks’ skin,” Freihoefer said. “It refers to my skin tone, and I had that privilege to have my skin tone as a color to color myself.” He then explained how privilege affects his everyday life at Iowa State and at work.

“When I look at myself, I have a lot of things that get me things I did not earn. They’re just things I get because of my particular race, gender, sexuality, etc,” Freihoefer said. “People may think I have a higher degree than I do, or sometimes I walk into a room and automatically get respect. That’s just a privilege I have.” Freihoefer said not looking at personal privilege can be a problem. How does this play into being a supporter of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community? Adam Guenther, president of the LGBTA Alliance, said a lot of what the LGBT community has for rights today have been won as a result of ally support. These are people who were in a majority group and had leverage, he said. They understood what their privilege and power could do for the community. “It was our allies that were able to, not necessarily speak for us, but support us and as a result, help fight for the rights that we deserve,” said Wayne Glass, an LGBT Student Services volunteer, intern and practicum coordinator. One side of the acronym discussion feels allies shouldn’t be included just because they support the community. For example, just because a person can support African American rights and issues, does not make that person a part of the African American community, Guenther said. Guenther said the other side of the argument says allies should be considered part of the community because they, too, have faced stigma and oppression even

There is controversy over whether allies should be included in the LGBT acronym. Some believe that allies shouln’t be because they support, rather than exist, within the community and must recognize their privilege. Others argue allies should be included because of all the help they’ve provided.

though the stigma appears to be declining in the U.S. Oppression and stigma still have a strong presence in other countries where identifying as LGBT is illegal and can be dangerous. Guenther said allies should be included in the acronym and community because they have been, and always will be, a part of a stigmatized group within the LGBT community. The discussion continues and Glass said he thinks it goes back to an individual’s interpretation of the acronym. “It’s about how you as a person want to interpret the acronym,” he said.

Keep on course Fight against breast cancer shouldn’t end after October It only takes a second for a life to change. Whether someone feels a lump, a doctor says there is something unusual on a mammogram scan or a mother has to tell her children the bad news, breast cancer can change a life in only the instant it takes to say a few words or feel something abnormal. One in eight women will likely be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetimes, according to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure — a nonprofit organization that helps fund the fight against breast cancer — website. In the United States, there will be 232,670 new cases of invasive breast cancer in 2014 and there will be a total of 40,000 breast cancer deaths. With that high of percentage of people diagnosed with breast cancer, it is likely that all of us know someone who was affected by it or had it ourselves, even on a college campus. Although rare in young women, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths for all women between the ages of 20 and 59, according to the website.

Breast cancer can touch the lives of so many. It not only affects the lives of those diagnosed with the disease, but also the friends and family who support that person. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The month is filled with fundraisers and walks to help increase awareness and money for researching a cure for the life-threatening disease. People can donate money, walk or even become an advocate for countless organizations devoted to the cause. Although Breast Cancer Awareness Month does wonders for the fight against the disease, all of our efforts to beat breast cancer once and for all cannot stop after Oct. 31. As we near the end of the month, we cannot for get about those mothers, aunts, sisters, grandmothers and friends who are fighting for their lives. Even when the calendar turns, those 232,670 cases continue to be diagnosed and those 40,000 people continue to lose their lives. So do not forget about breast cancer and get involved year around. For Susan G. Komen for the

Cure, people can create their own fundraising event, donate, set up a fundraising page or just share their own breast cancer stories throughout the entire year. In addition to Komen, there are countless other organizations devoted to raising breast cancer awareness or fundraising to support survivors or finding a cure to the disease. Charities such as the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Living Beyond Breast Cancer, the DanaFarber Cancer Institute and countless others all have opportunities to either donate to or volunteer for the breast cancer cause. ISU students even have the opportunity to get involved with the fight against breast cancer on campus. Bras for the Cause, an organization that raises money for mammograms and cervical cancer tests for those who cannot afford

them, has a chapter at Iowa State. Big Pink Volleyball and Colleges Against Cancer are two other organizations on campus to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer. More information on these opportunities can be found under the student organizations page on Iowa State’s website. So whether it’s a campus club or a national fundraising event, get involved with the fight against breast cancer throughout the year, not just in October. There are plenty of opportunities to fight the disease that will help so many and maybe even those in your life.

Fans start to get louder as the Cyclones begin their second-half comeback on Sept. 14 at Jack Trice Stadium, but came up short 27-21. Often, sports fans get rowdy and even violent since they are so invested within the game.

Glorification of sports portrays harmful image By Sean.McGarvey @iowastatedaily.com

ur society praises the physically gifted over everyone else. Of the top four professional sports in America, NBA, MLB, NHL and NFL, the average salary of a player is around $3 million per year. In an interview with ESPN’s Outside the Lines, former University of North Carolina basketball player Rashad McCants came forward saying he had had multiple assignments done for him and grades covered up so he could stay eligible for their basketball season. The team had gone on to win the NCAA basketball championship in 2004-5. This is only one instance of a collegiate level athlete

having the rules broken so he could go on to help the athletic program. Since his statements in June of this year, the NCAA is continuing an investigation into North Carolina’s athletic program to see if there are any other violations of this sort. The University of North Carolina may not be guilty of NCAA violations, but they are guilty of contorting the rules in order to please their fans. Personally, I love college sports. The first week of football all the way to March Madness is my favorite time of year. But I also believe the system is flawed. In college, a four-star athlete with struggling grades can earn a full ride scholarship as a backup, while an ordinary college student with better grades

may not be able to earn even a partial scholarship. Many of these same athletes will go on to make thousands or even millions of dollars in their respective sports. The ordinary college student will make much less while paying off accrued loans. The professional world of sports hasn’t helped our society’s views. The average MLB salary is $3.2 million and the NBA is even higher, with $5.15 million. The overall goal of professional sports is to prove dominance over the other team. The athletes are simply doing their jobs and competing at the highest level they can. The fans, on the other hand, can take sports to a whole new level. In 2013, a Los Angeles Dodger fan was brutally stabbed outside AT&T Park

in San Francisco following a Dodger loss to the San Francisco Giants. The two suspects in the investigation were both Giants fans who started a fight with the man after the game. This wasn’t the first fight to occur between fans of these two teams. The NBC Bay Area news team says previous feuds had broken out in 2003 and 2011, both of which claimed the lives of a Giants fan and a Dodgers fan respectively. There are many other instances of violence in sports, going all the way back to the Coliseum when Romans would pit two men against each other and watch them fight to the death. One man would emerge victoriously with the full support of the audience behind him, not caring about the life he just took in

order to gain recognition. It was barbaric. Some may say we’ve evolved since then. We no longer praise the man who would do such a thing. I argue differently. Earlier this year, Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice brutally hit his wife in an elevator. He was only suspended two games for an assault charge. Since then, more evidence has come to light and Rice has been released by his former team. In the opening week, fans still showed up in support of Rice, wearing his jersey and chanting his name during the game. There have been similar situations with former Atlanta Falcon quarterback Michael Vick and his participation in dog fights. There have been numerous alleged rape cases in professional sports. The first two

that come to mind involve Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Despite their actions, fans still chose to win in sports over the character of the athlete. Is this not the same barbaric attitude that the Romans had in the coliseum? I’m not saying professional and college sports are a bad thing. We must change the way we view sports as to not place so much importance on a trophy but on the characters and skills that sports can build in a person. Sports can be very important in building a hard work ethic, as well as teaching people how to work together as a team. Both skills can be placed into most careers helping the individual grow as a person.

THINK PINK ISU teams raise awareness By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com Pink is the new black — for sports fashion, that is. It’s the trend that seems to grow each year with more and more professional, college and even high school athletics teams breaking out some sort of pink attire for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The easily recognizable pink ribbon was adopted as the symbol for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in 1992, paving the way for athletics to show awareness using the color. Iowa State is no exception, with multiple sports showing their support for breast cancer with specific events dedicated to wearing pink uniforms and encouraging fans to wear pink as well. The ISU volleyball team had their Dig Pink match on Oct. 4 against West Virginia. After just wearing pink hair wraps in previous years, the Cyclones have recently upped the color ante, donning full pink jerseys and encouraging fans to join them in wearing pink. The events often end up being equally beneficial in bringing awareness to the cause and uniting the athletic team and crowd. Former ISU volleyball player Ashley Mass shared her experience after her final Dig Pink game in 2010. “I think it’s an awesome opportunity for us to showcase a cause like that,” Mass said. “The theme of everyone wearing pink definitely got the crowd excited for the game. Pink is such a bright color that it makes everybody so happy and enthused.” Similar events like ISU soccer’s Think Pink game, played on Oct. 5, have further brought awareness to the cause. Even ISU football players have shown their support despite no official event dedicated to football, with some players wearing pink shoelaces against Toledo earlier this season. But breast cancer awareness hasn’t been limited to the month of October. The ISU women’s bas-

ketball team participates in the Kay Yow Cancer Fund’s Play 4Kay game annually in February. According to the Play 4Kay website, the initiative’s goal is to raise breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in the community and

beyond. For one event a year, athletes get to play for something more than just a win or championship — they play to raise awareness for a deadly disease that reaches across rivalries and differences.

“I’m glad we’re playing at home,” said former ISU basketball star Anna Prins before playing in 2012’s ‘Play 4Kay’ game. “And it is a pink game so obviously we’re playing for something bigger than just basketball.”

The result of cellgrowth malfunction in the breasts, or breast cancer, claimed 1.7 million new cases worldwide in 2012 alone. According to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, the malignant tumor can either grow slowly or aggressively resulting in a lump able to sense by simply touching the breast infected. However, some tumors can grow over a span of 10 years without the patient even knowing and breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women. The American Cancer Society (ACS) unveiled about 12% of women in the US will develop invasive breast cancer at some point in their life. Along with the 1 of 8 women in the US projected to become infected, the ACS estimates that about 232,670 women either will or have already become infected in 2014 and 40,000 women will die by the end of this year. However, there are currently more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the US today. It is evident that there is not yet a cure for cancer but it’s spread can be contained and reversed through treatment. The best way to maintain healthy breasts is being aware of the disease and checking for signs throughout the year. “Everybody has got a human body and [at some point]something is going to go wrong either with your body or the body of

somebody that you love and if you know basic human anatomy, you can really understand a lot more about what is going on with you or your loved one and how to deal with whatever that may be,” Krumhardt said. Knowing how your breasts look and feel at their “normal” is the best way to prevent any type of serious growth. Noticing a change in feeling or shape should not be taken lightly and it is important to be aware of changes and taking care of issues prior to their arrival. Before seeking consultation from a physician, women have the option of performing self-exams. Self exams consist of evaluating the breasts using a mirror and moving the hand’s fingers in circular motion, searching for any abnormalities. “It is not that uncommon for breast cancer to occur but if you catch it really early the treatments are not anywhere near as traumatic than if you were to let it go,” said Dr. Barbara Krumhardt, senior lecturer in genetics, development, and cell biology. “Someone who feels a lump in there breast and is afraid to go get it checked out may only cause it to worsen from not double checking with a physician.” Breast cancer does not have an age limit and any women has the potential to become infected. Noticing cancer in it’s earlier stages is the first step to fighting this disease. According to ACS, women diagnosed with the 3 stages of cancer have a survival rate of

Find your role, give great gifts By Erin.Parro @iowastatedaily.com Whether it is a grandparent, sister, father or coworker, they need to know how to purchase the right gift for the couple that has invited them to their wedding. Here are a few things to keep in mind when buying a gift: • Consider the relationship to the couple. • How much is the target spending amount? • Will the gift have a personal touch or not? Father: Give something personal for the son or daughter that brings them back to their childhood. They will have something from their childhood and be able to share that memory with their significant other. For example, a father and his son always went out for pizza on Friday nights. Buy the couple a pizza making kit to use together. Coworker: The relationship with the couple tends to not be as personal. Stick to the more general items on their registry. Kitchen items are always needed for a couple just starting out together. Grandma: Purchase something

they can cherish for many years to come. A blanket might be such a gift. Customizing the blanket with the couple’s last name is a great way to make it more sentimental. Aunt: Jane Sterenberg attended her niece’s wedding in Seattle. Jane and her family live in Iowa, while the rest of their family live all over the country. The bride requested no gifts because they knew people would be spending money to get to their wedding. Sterenberg went ahead and got her niece and her husband a gift card anyway. ”Because my family is so spread out we often give gift cards so it is easier for them to transport the gift — [for] us or them — to the destination,” Sterenberg said. Sister: Recent sister of the bride, Rachel Demmer, got her sister a steel tub ice cooler for when her sister and husband host bonfires in the summer. “I knew it was the perfect gift for the perfect couple because they are outgoing people who have people over often,” Rachel Demmer said. “I thought I would give them something that would double as decor, as well as practical for when they host people over to their new house.”

Horoscopes

BREAST CANCER p1

by Linda Black

Today’s Birthday (10/29/14)

Take advantage of extra creativity and passion this year. Practice skills and get onstage. Liven up the party! Groom your image, and take photos. Pick a project that moves you. Healthy routines and exercise pay off in spades. Trust a sibling’s advice. Self-discovery now leads to a new springtime phase of fun and happiness. Prioritize time with the ones you love. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries - 9

(March 21-April 19) You make it look easy. Break through to a new level of understanding. An elusive possibility could fade before you arrive. Make sure you’ve packed for your contingency plans.

Taurus - 9

(April 20-May 20) Unexpected roadblocks could deviate your plans. Take advantage of the situation. Keep communication clear with partners. Avoid sparking an upset by keeping everyone involved.

Gemini - 9

(May 21-June 20) Focus on short-term financial goals. Review statements for errors. Don’t dig into savings. Postpone an expense or trip. The outlook shifts, and there are new opportunities. Don’t react without thinking.

Cancer - 9

(June 21-July 22) Handle what you said you’d do. Show your love with actions, rather than words. Misunderstandings could spark between partners. Leave your money in the bank. Defer to a higher level of expertise.

Leo - 9

(July 23-Aug. 22) Creative opportunities allow for amazing and delightful connections. But they may give you an excuse to overspend. Get advice from a close friend. Don’t throw your money around.

Virgo - 9

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Transform a room or space for temporary use. Take care not to hurt a sensitive person’s feelings. Encourage brainstorming from family and friends. Play a game together. Make a change.

Sudoku

Libra - 9

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The comforts of home have a magnetic draw. Follow an intuitive urge for a surprising reaction. Laugh and the world laughs with you. Keep your head in a chaotic moment. Review work from a peaceful room later.

Scorpio - 9

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Flexibility with surprises and unexpected deviations allows greater ease. Decide the perspective you espouse, the story to tell. Cables could get crossed in communications.

Sagittarius - 9

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Avoid financial discussions. Understandings can get lost in translation. Get your work done without a lot of talk. Handle unexpected circumstances. You’re growing wiser. Try out a new idea.

Capricorn - 9

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Focus on obvious, basic goals. The answer has been there all along. Now you see how to help. Confusion or blockage could deviate your train of thought. Redirect energy to where it matters.

Aquarius - 9

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Easy does it. Peace and quiet soothe your soul. Contact important clients and keep commitments, but schedule meetings for another day. Delegate to your team. Don’t risk or gamble resources.

Pisces - 9

(Feb. 19-March 20) Step outside the box of what you think you can do. Inhibit bizarre suggestions. Share an unexpected diversion. Hike or bike or take a walk with friends. New possibilities open up. Look at yourself differently.

turned the music down and said, ‘Alright, I need to tell you something’.” Lee said the four words over 230,000 other women were forced to say that year, “I have breast cancer.” Thoughts and questions raced through Jessica’s head when she heard the news. “What does that mean? What is going to happen?” she asked herself. “It was weird you know because you hear about breast cancer and [how] it affects a lot of women. It was like, ‘What happens now?’, you know.” Unfortunately, Jessica and Lee’s story is far too common of an occurrence. Today, American women face a one in eight chance of developing breast cancer at some point in their lives. In 2013 alone, over 230,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer. Lee’s course of treatment was similar to thousands of other women with Stage II breast cancer. After discovering the cancer, Lee underwent a pair of surgeries at St. Mary’s Hospital in Madison, Wis.. After her first surgery, a lumpectomy, doctors discovered the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and decided a mastectomy was necessary. When Lee recovered from her surgeries, she received chemotherapy for about three months, which was followed by three more months of radiation treatments. “The chemo was to get rid of it and the radiation was to make sure it was gone,” said Lee, who has no family history of the disease. “I still get checked out every three months.” Cancer treatment can be grueling physically and emotionally. Jessica said it was difficult watching her mother change physically throughout treatment and be sick without being able to help her. Jessica and her father Tom, a Wisconsin State Trooper, and brother Jake, a student at Beloit College, found helping more around the house and spending more time with Lee helped get the family through the rough time. “I think the hardest part [physically] was trying to deal with the fatigue as

you’re going through treatment,” Lee said. “You just get so tired and it’s hard to explain. It’s not like you can just get some sleep and then you’re OK.” Experts say it’s important for cancer patients and survivors to seek out emotional support from people who have personally been through the disease themselves. Lee said she found that emotional support in a place she wasn’t expecting. “I was very fortunate,” Lee said. “One of my coworkers had just gone through a very similar type of breast cancer. She was willing to share some of her experiences with me and help me out. In fact, it really helped her heal through the whole process too.” Jessica and her mother both emphasized the importance of savoring the good things in life and not sweating the small stuff. “Going through the whole thing with the chemo, losing your hair and having a wig, you really had to have a sense of humor about yourself and not take yourself too seriously,” Lee said. “You have to find the humor when you can.” Jessica echoed her mother’s sentiment. “It gets better,” she said. “It’s not the end of the

world and having a sense of humor and being able to laugh about it definitely helps.” The five year survival rate for patients with regional breast cancer is 84 percent. As of today, Lee has been cancer free for over a year. Kelsey McCarty and Briana Brunsvold, co-presidents of the ISU chapter of Colleges Against Cancer, said there are many ways students can fight back against cancer, including participating in the organization’s Relay For Life held in Lied Recreation Center, March 6 and 7. “We recognize and honor a lot of cancer survivors from around the area, and we also remember people who have passed away from cancer,” McCarty said. “You can even create a team with your dorm floor or any organization on campus.” Colleges Against Cancer donates all of their proceeds to the American Cancer Society. The goal this year is to raise $115,000. Fighting cancer has personal relevance for Brunsvold and McCarty. Brunsvold has had many family members battle cancer and McCarty’s mother passed away from endometrial cancer — a type of

uterine cancer — when she was nine-years-old. “Colleges Against Cancer has been very positive [for me],” McCarty said. “It allows me to fight back every single day and put a positive spin on the outcome. It gives me a way to help others who are going through the same thing [I did].” McCarty and Brunsvold encourage students who are interesting in joining or helping Colleges Against Cancer to get involved at any level they are comfortable with. “Individually you think you don’t make a huge difference in the fight against cancer,” Brunsvold said. “But when you work as a team, as an organization, getting to raise over $100,000 that makes a huge difference. It’s something you’re very proud to be a part of.” McCarty works with Colleges Against Cancer for a single, lofty purpose. “That’s my life goal, to see an end to cancer before I die,” she said. If a loved one is currently fighting or has passed away from cancer or any other disease, Student Counseling Services is open and willing to help Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

due to a conflict of interest. Amber Corrieri, at large representative, discussed allowing vendors the opportunity to move locations. This would give vendors the chance to move locations on a possible lottery system.

Lissa Villa, ex-officio student representative, stated concerns over this motion. Students would not want to see different locations of their favorite vendors on places like Welch Ave. Student “favorites” could potentially be

moved if this lottery was put in place. The idea was discussed but no motion was put into place. Voting on the ordinance will be brought back at another time to vote on the ordinance with the changes.
