EDITORIAL

It’s On US,

owa State The Daily, Student Government are working to educate and raise awareness of sexual assault for students

Trigger warning: This editorial uses language that may trigger sexual assault survivors. Editor’s note: Sign the pledge to end sexual assault from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Memorial Union. As college students, there are very few times in our lives when we have as much power to affect change, for better or for worse, as we do now. Whether it is lobbying for change with the various advocacy groups and clubs, deciding where funding goes and providing recommendations to administration through Student Government or even just speaking at open forums on important community issues, there are countless opportunities for students to truly make a difference while at Iowa State. With that said, why not use some of your time here to make a positive difference on our campus and in the lives of thousands of other students? Perhaps one of the most glaring issues that demands not only students’ attention but also intervention is the culture on college campuses that enables sexual assaults, contributes to victim blaming and does not support survivors. What students and the university are doing now is clearly not working. But it’s time to finally change our culture on campus. It’s on us, Iowa State, to stop sexual assault. It is no secret that sexual assault is a very pressing issue on Iowa State’s campus and many other campuses across the country. In the last few years, Iowa State as a whole has had a bad record in not only the number of sexual assaults that occur here, but also in dealing with the aftermath of the crime. Last school year was perhaps one of the worst on record for sexual assault at Iowa State. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing the exact number of sexual assaults at Iowa State because more than 90 percent of sexual assault survivors on college campuses do not report the crime, according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center. However, in the Clery Act Report — an annual safety statistics and information document all universities that receive federal funding must publish — Iowa State reported it had 17 forcible sex offenses in the 2014 calendar year. In the calendar year 2013, Iowa State reported it had 20 forcible sex offenses. Additionally, last year, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights announced it was investigating Iowa State, along with many other schools, for its handlings of sexual assault cases at the university. A letter sent to the Office of Civil Rights by an ISU student said she felt discriminated against in her sexual assault case against a male student, which triggered the investigation. In August, Iowa State’s chapter of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity was removed from campus for at least four years due to health and safety violations, the university’s suspension of its status as a student organization and because the chapter did not align to the fraternity’s core values. The suspension came seven months after a member of the fraternity was named, and subsequently suspended, in a sexual

assault case and the assault was reported to have occurred in the house itself. Lastly, in April, the American Association of Universities began collecting information on the climate of sexual assault at Iowa State. The association’s report was released in September and gave some startling numbers on the commonality of sexual assaults or other forms of misconduct on campus and the lack of knowledge on the subject among ISU students. One of the most startling numbers to come out of the report is that just under 25 percent of undergraduate women “reported experiencing non-consensual penetration or sexual touching by force or incapacitation” by the time that they were seniors. To further exemplify just how severe this epidemic is, the report detailed additional demographics of sexual assault survivors. About 3.1 percent of undergraduate men reported being sexually assaulted by “non-consensual penetration or sexual touching.” Additionally, students who are non-heterosexual have a sexual assault rate much higher than those who are heterosexual — 20.8 percent compared to 8.8 percent. Students with disabilities also show a higher rate than those who do not — 20.1 percent compared to 9.3 percent. So how do we begin to educate our students on the subject, raise awareness and support survivors of sexual assault in an effort to prevent future sexual assaults from occurring and lowering these statistics? It’s on us, Iowa State, to stop sexual assault. Statistics show that students, admittedly, do not know the definition of sexual assault and don’t necessarily recognize it when it’s happening. In addition to the majority of students who feel they do not know the definition of sexual assault, where to get help or where to make a report, many bystanders also do not intervene in potential sexual assault situations. Only about 29 percent of ISU students reported being “very or extremely knowledgeable” about the university’s definition of sexual assault. Also, only about 34 percent of students know where to find help if they or a friend were sexually assaulted. Lastly, only 28 percent of students know where to make a report of sexual assault. Quite frankly, these numbers are shocking and show a serious gap in knowledge. Put simply, people who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs cannot consent to sex. With that being said, almost 40 percent of students said they had witnessed a drunk person heading for a sexual encounter. Almost 76 percent of those bystanders chose to do nothing, according to the report, and almost 24 percent said it was because they weren’t sure what to do. Obviously the first step to improving any of these numbers is education. As it stands, almost 56 percent of students could not remember if their orientation included information on sexual assault or misconduct or said it absolutely did not include this information. So if students feel our orientation program for new students did not include this information, let’s take it upon ourselves to educate each other and finally start to improve safety on our campus. It’s on us, Iowa State, to stop sexual assault.

Editorial Board

The Daily believes that journalism is no longer just reporting information through text and photos in a newspaper or website. Because of this, The Daily wants to engage and educate ISU students on important issues in our community in new and interesting ways. This is why The Daily is co-sponsoring with Student Government the first-ever It’s On Us Day this Thursday. The day is 2015’s It’s On Us campaign at Iowa State launch, as well as a way to celebrate It’s On Us Week of Action around the nation. To take part in the campaign, sign pledges to help keep others on campus safe from sexual assault and work to find solutions to the problem. Additionally, employees of The Daily, Student Government representatives and other members of the ISU community will be wearing teal and purple, the colors of sexual assault awareness, to show support to survivors. So, in your years at Iowa State, how are you going to use your time? You have the power to be a positive influence and truly make a difference in our community. Those at The Daily and countless other students chose to work to improve the sexual assault climate on campus. ISU students have the opportunity to participate in It’s On Us Day on Thursday, educate themselves and others, support survivors and take the first step to improving our university. The only way we’ll ever put an end to sexual assault here at Iowa State is if we, as students, make an effort and do it together. Because it’s on us, Iowa State, to stop sexual assault.

INSIDE

In the last year, just as Iowa State’s sexual assault climate was at its worst, students began to take action. Student Government supported the launch of and created a director for the national It’s On Us campaign on our campus to inspire students to educate themselves and work to end sexual assault. Additionally, chapters in the greek community brought the Live Your Oath campaign to campus. Members of the community could learn about campus sexual assault and sign a pledge to do what they can to prevent it. Cadets Against Sexual Assault, a group made up of ISU ROTC members introduced last year, teaches student groups bystander intervention and information to raise awareness of sexual assault on college campuses. The group worked with members of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity at the beginning of the month. Students like these, and many others, are taking it upon themselves to end sexual assault on our campus, support survivors and raise awareness. If we want to show our administration and our student body that we are serious about improving the sexual assault climate on campus, we must take action ourselves, like these student groups. Because of inspiring students like these, a desire to educate ISU students and an overwhelming desire to support survivors of this horrible crime, the Iowa State Daily is also taking action. In addition to our coverage of the issue, including both articles, columns and editorials, The Daily is joining the It’s On Us campaign. It’s on us, Iowa State, to stop sexual assault.

Deceased student’s friend speaks out By Shannon.McCarty @iowastatedaily.com ISU senior Dane Schussler was remembered as the clown in his genetics classes. Schussler’s body was found Monday night near Union Pacific Railroad property between Brookside Park and Haber Road on Monday night. Schussler lived at Frederiksen Court apart-

ments near the train tracks. ISU Police say no foul play is suspected, but an official cause of death will not be released by the state medical examiner’s office until Thursday. Union Pacific Railroad spokesperson Calli Hite said two railroad employees headed eastbound saw an individual on or around the tracks around 9:30 p.m. and called in to the railroad’s response and dispatch de-

partment. Police were then notified by the railroad’s department. Jeremy Schuster, junior in genetics and president of the Genetics Club, had many classes with Schussler, who was also a member of the club, for the last two and half years. “We were the clowns of the class,” Schuster said. Schuster said, when he thought of Schussler, he always went back to their

chemistry lab, where they were lab partners. Schuster said they would often goof off together in class. “I don’t how many times I had to write my result section as inconclusive,” Schuster said of incomplete lab exercises. Schussler liked to debate and joke with their lab TA, Schuster said. The two students first bonded over having both worked for Pioneer Seed. They even shared

the same birthday. Schuster said he had just seen Schussler the Friday night before his death at an ISU After Dark event. “We were just playing bingo,” Schuster said. “He seemed fine.” Schuster said he never saw signs of Schussler being upset or stressed and that he was a relaxed guy who liked to crack a joke or two. The two still hung out, Schuster said, but had grown

Pipeline controversy Committee to discuss effects of Bakken

By Adam.Sodders @iowastatedaily.com Crude oil may soon be running from North Dakota to Illinois under the feet of thousands of Iowa residents. The effects of the proposed Bakken crude oil pipeline, which would run through ISU property, will be discussed Thursday in an Iowa Utilities Board hearing in Boone. “We don’t have a pipeline for crude oil in Iowa like they do in Nebraska or South Dakota, so this is a new category for us,” said David Swenson, associate scientist in economics and agriculture and life sciences. Swenson said the pipeline could bring some benefits to Iowa if approved, but there are also drawbacks. While economically efficient, the pipeline would hurt long-term jobs, he said. “The pipeline doesn’t add much productivity to Iowa,” Swenson said. “It doesn’t add anything over a long period of time in the Iowa economy.” The Bakken pipeline is being proposed by the Energy Transfer Crude Oil Company, and is also known as the Dakota Access Pipeline. Geri Huser, chairwom-

an, Elizabeth Jacobs and Nick Wagner were appointed by Gov. Terry Branstad to hear concerns and opinions of Iowans. They make up the Iowa Utilities Board. Once the two Bakken pipeline hearings end, the Iowa Utilities Board will make a decision on whether to approve the pipeline going through state-owned land. Warren Madden, senior vice president of business and finance, said the Iowa Board of Regents would then have to decide whether to allow the pipeline to go through ISU property. “The land that’s involved in this right now is a dairy farm,” he said. “[The land] the pipe would run under is used to grow crops.” The pipeline would be buried a minimum of 4 feet underground, or at least 2 feet under any tile lines, he said. Energy Transfer may try to use eminent domain as a way to be permitted to build the Bakken pipeline on state land. Cornell University Law School defines eminent domain as “the power of the government to take private property and convert it to public use.” The government must then compensate landowners justly, in accordance with the Fifth Amendment. In the case of the oil pipeline, the state of Iowa would compensate landowners in return for their properties. The land would then be sold by the state

to Energy Transfer, so the company could build the pipeline. “There is ongoing debate over safety concerns,” Madden said. Currently, oil moves through Iowa State via the Union Pacific Railroad. Madden said the risk of a train accident resulting in an oil spill is probably higher than if the Bakken pipeline was moving oil through the area. “[Energy Transfer] will reimburse Iowa State for any crop losses during construction and going forward,” Madden said. Thursday’s hearing will feature 280 commenters who signed up to present their opinions and concerns. Swenson said he is neutral about the pipeline construction. Madden said groups and individuals are for and against the pipeline for various reasons. “There’s a trade-off,” Swenson said. “There’s a decrease in train accidents versus a rupture in the pipeline and the environment degrading.” The Iowa Utilities Board hearing on the Bakken crude oil pipeline will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday at the Boone County Fairgrounds Community Building, 1601 Industrial Park Rd. A second hearing will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday at the Community Building for evidence and cross-examination of information by the Iowa Utilities Board.

apart some since Schussler was in the process of changing his major to industrial engineering. “He told me the reason why he was switching is because he wanted more power and action done with what he was doing,” Schuster said. Police are still conducting an investigation. Michaela Ramm and Makayla Tendall contributed to the story.

energy and solar energy, and I hope one day we will be completely dependent on it.” Rutledge supports the pipeline because she believes it’s currently the safest way to transport oil. Rutledge said the main priority should be to become less dependent on foreign oil, and the pipeline is the only option. Rutledge also said the pipeline would create jobs for maintenance and repairs in the long run. If built, sensors would surround the pipes, which monitor the oil flow. If in danger of a leak, sensors would stop the flow of oil to the area until the problem is fixed. The people against the pipeline are most concerned with the leaks. “Anytime there’s a pipe underground, it’s bound to leak,” said Colleen Cowan,

Student Government voted to approve amendments to election bylaws and the election code, as well as discussed funding for different student organizations at its meeting Wednesday. Denise Williams-Klotz, assistant director of multicultural student affairs, led a discussion with Student Government about inclusion and diversity on campus. This was the first part of a two-part discussion that will continue at a future meeting. Senators broke into small groups to discuss different questions about diversity and inclusion and came back together to discuss their answers. They discussed the perception that it is intimidating to get the perception to change. Senators also touched on the issues at the University of Missouri, and said the problems that exist there might occur at Iowa State. “We need to make our students feel safe and included always,” said Speaker of the Senate Ben Crawford. Different language that might be found offensive or create barriers was discussed. “Being aware of how our words and actions affect others is a powerful thing,” Williams-Klotz said. Sen. Robert Dunn took

Student voter turnout no surprise By Christie.Smith @iowastatedaily.com The local elections that took place Nov. 4 decided which City Council candidates would represent Ames — a city that, not surprisingly, encompasses Iowa State’s campus, various student housing options, apartments and places where students shop, dine, drink and exist. According to the office of the Story County auditor

and commissioner of elections, voter turnout to decide the fate of these spaces inhabited by students was consistent with voter turnout in past elections. Kelli Hitsman, precinct chairwoman in Ward 1, said she had a “really good turnout” at her polling location at the Ames Public Library. By 7 p.m. on election night, one hour before the polls closed, Hitsman’s location had seen 10 percent of registered voters in her

precinct. After all of the ballots were counted, Story County saw 13.2 percent voter turnout, said Lucy Martin, Story County auditor and commissioner of elections. The city of Ames saw 12 percent voter turnout. In Ward 4, an area that encompasses most of Iowa State’s campus and student housing, one polling place saw nine voters all day. Two of them were President Leath and his wife. Martin said these

OPINION

Thursday, Nov. 12, 2015

Columnist Woodruff argues that low standards leave students unprepared for college classes.

We are not prepared for college By Beth.Woodruff @iowastatedaily.com

Emily Blobaum/Iowa State Daily

Starbucks chose plain red cups in late October for its annual holiday season design, sparking a national discussion. Previous holiday cup designs featured winter graphics such as snowmnen and snowflakes. Columnist Ward argues that the design change is not an attack on religion.

Cups never meant religion Critics confuse holiday symbols with Christianity By Madison.Ward @iowastatedaily.com This Starbucks cup can’t talk, which is unfortunate because I would love to hear its take on the controversy surrounding its change in design. But if it could, I would imagine it would sound something like, “People need me to remind them of what they believe during the holidays, probably because they’re so lost the rest of the year. They rely on me to keep them up, keep them going and keep me in God’s good graces, but that was never part of my contract. No one told me when I signed up for this job that I would be fighting at the forefront of America’s battle with a loss of faith, with the misguided mindset that for it to be true it has to be shown on the outside. So they’re mad at me for not reminding them about their beliefs? Maybe they should be mad at themselves for not remembering how to believe on their own.” As its voice for the next few hundred words or so, I couldn’t agree more. We should not be putting a company on blast for a cup design that doesn’t remind millions of lost people that it’s the time of year to act religious again. Starbucks released its traditional holiday season reminder with its 2015 holiday cup Oct. 22. And if it hadn’t been made clear enough before, the outrage that ensued after the release only showed me that genuine religious belief has been replaced with over-

sensitivity and confusion. Starbucks has been spearheading the tradition of some variation of a red cup with holiday iconography since 1997, each year with a new design. But much to the dismay of just about everyone, there is no design for 2015, just a dark poppy color fading to a dark cranberry. Starbucks’ news website attributes the design to “embracing the simplicity and the quietness of [the holidays]. It’s a more open way to usher in the holiday.” So naturally people are saying Starbucks hates Jesus. I would just like to point out that Starbucks has never had a cross on its cups. Mary and Joseph have never been depicted sipping peppermint mochas together, and baby Jesus has never had the privilege of getting printed laying in a manger next to a Starbucks logo. There have been snowmen, a person sledding, some holiday decorations and this year’s solid color design. None of these images are inherently religious, just a reminder of the season. And by season I mean weather, not a holiday. This logic is similar to me saying if I don’t wear a Christmas sweater, ugly or not, that I am not a Christian. The only way anyone seems to believe anything anymore is if they see it outwardly expressed. Based on public outcry, it’s clear from where the general population is basing its religious argument. Oh no, there are no drawings of gifts on the Starbucks cups this year. Starbucks must hate Christians. Sarcasm intended. I view this as a misinterpretation of symbols and how long we’ve let holidays and Christianity be interchangeable. Gifts don’t only go under a Christmas tree, snowmen don’t imply

Christianity and snow does not mean Christmas. Sure, these symbols are often associated with the holiday but they do not take the place of what it means to be Christian. If the company had customarily been printing content with heavy religious connotations on its cups, I could understand the current state of anger being displayed across the country. That act could legitimately be viewed as a stance against Christianity, but the act at hand cannot. Nothing is being taken away from people who celebrate Christmas. If anything, individuals of other religions are now being more included. It’s a blank slate, not a slight against Jesus. But perhaps my favorite counter argument in all of this is the fact that this campaign is in response to the company wanting to be politically correct in the eyes of its customers. Being politically correct means being unoffensive and nondiscriminatory. What on earth is less offensive than a snowman? Saying this campaign is happening because Starbucks is afraid of openly being Christian would clearly imply that the company used to be openly Christian, which it never has been. The only place I can truly attribute this to is our displacement of belief: the mistake that symbols and the tradition of a cup means Christmas and Christianity. So here I sit, at a small table with the bustle of people around and the smell of coffee in the air — not a Bible or crucifix in sight. No one is praying for me to see just how evil a plain red cup is. It’s just me, my thoughts about this persisting misinterpretation and this little red cup.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Pay attention to Earth, voice concerns By Briane Montoya Junior in kinesiology and health I want to walk the earth with no mask. I want to breathe easy. I want my kids to enjoy those privileges already being

deprived of some. I saw the benefits of fighting for your beliefs at a young age. Younger than 12, I was active in the community to remove the radioactive waste that was placed in my neighborhood. Rare Superfund sites have

been removed after years, many negotiations and help from the community because they care about their planet. If we would have done nothing, if I wouldn’t have passed out fliers, went door-to-door to raise awareness, wrote to Congress our concerns, then my home

would sit next to Shattuck Superfund site containing radioactive waste in the heart of Denver, Colo., one block from Platte-River. I have seen what our voice can do, I believe we all can make a difference if we really tried. Save Mother Earth.

Trails scrutinized more than pipeline By Mark Edwards Boone resident I retired as trails coordinator from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources after 30 years of public service. I have worked across the state with the Army Corps of Engineers, Native American people and many other government organizations. During this time I managed millions of dollars for trail de-

velopment on state land. I also represented the people of Iowa on state and federal trail grant committees awarding multimillions of dollars. If the DNR wanted to build a new hiking foot trail — not a concrete bicycle trail, just a trail in the woods — if we even wanted to move an existing trail over 12 feet to the side to reduce erosion, we would be required to go through more scrutiny than

the Bakken pipeline will. To build the trail would require an official agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Transportation, many Native American tribes, the State Historical Preservation Office and various other federal government requirements related to the Clean Water Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Federal Endangered Species Act, Sovereign Lands Construction

Permit, and Floodplain permits. As of February of this year many of the permits for the pipeline had not even been applied for. Trail projects needed environmental review and rarely happened in under three years after starting the paperwork permitting process. How can a hiking trail project less than a 100 feet in length take longer and receive more scrutiny than this hazardous 1,134-mile-long pipeline?

Making the jump from high school to college life is difficult. Anyone who has known someone or gone to college will tell you that. Being away from home and the life you had known for the first time can be more than nerve-racking. However, the social and location change is not what made my transition difficult. Instead, it was the lack of preparation I had received from my pre-collegiate education. I came to Iowa State from a small town in Iowa, where I was placed in the Talented and Gifted program in first grade. I was challenged during my elementary days, but the difficulty level seemed to diminish greatly when I reached middle school, and by the time I reached high school, it completely vanished. My high school offered a whopping three Advanced Placement courses, which I took advantage of. However, I soon ran out of courses to take — I had officially run dry my school’s resources. I was forced to plead to my school and request special permission to be enrolled in more rigorous courses to push myself in preparation for college. By the time senior year rolled around, I was forced to drop back to the normal difficulty level in English because I had already taken all the higher-level courses my school offered. I found myself muddling through my classes bored and unchallenged only to discover that I was woefully unprepared for my college experiences. My study habits were non-existent, my efforts diminished when the challenges disappeared, and in essence, my education was moving rapidly backward from where it began. The saddest part is that I am not the only student — at Iowa State or any other college or university in this country — who has suffered from this lack of preparation. YouthTruth, a national nonprofit organization, conducted a survey to understand the options presented to current high school students and their view on the quality of their education. Of the junior- and senior-level students surveyed, only 44.8 percent felt like they were being well prepared for college, a percentage that is far too low. Another, more in-depth survey was orchestrated through Achieve, a non-profit reform organization that advocates for an increase in schooling and standards for graduation. Seventy percent of the high school participants stated that expectations in their school were being met at a moderate to low level, and 91 percent of students “believe that providing opportunities to take more challenging courses would be an improvement.” This demonstrates just how many students are currently unchallenged in high school, just how I was. This same survey also asked current college students how they felt about their own high school education. Fifty-six percent of college students felt that high school left them unprepared for the study and work habits expected in college. A Hart Research study found that a meager 12 percent of university professors believed high school students were being adequately prepared for college-level courses, and only 29 percent of employers felt that schools were teaching students the materials required in the work force. The study also found that 63 percent of four-year college professors deemed less than half of their new students to have the necessary critical-thinking and comprehension skills they need to successfully complete their courses. These statistics speak volumes toward today’s education system in America and help illustrate the changes that need to be made. Students feel unchallenged and unprepared after high school, leaving them desperately playing catch up in their first few semesters in college.

Cyclones get new look on signing day ISU women’s basketball adds international duo to 2016-17 class

Prohm pleased with ISU men’s basketball’s four roster additions

By Trey. Alessio @iowastatedaily.com

By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com

ISU women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly said the 2016-17 class may be the most unique group of recruits he has seen in his time at Iowa State. The Cyclones announced the signings of Adriana Camber and Aliyah Konate on Wednesday, both of whom are from Europe. Camber is a 5-foot-9 forward from Lund, Sweden. She played on the Nordic Championship national team in 2013 and 2014 and was named an all-star. Camber was also named an all-star three times in the Swedish Championship in 2012, 2013 and 2014. She was rated as a five-star prospect by Blue Star Europe after sitting out her junior season with an ACL injury. The second recruit, Konate, is a 6-foot-4 forward from Berlin, Germany. She played on Germany’s 3-on-3 national youth team in the Youth Olympic Games in 2014. Konate was also the first woman named to the ALBA Berlin national team in 2013. “[Konate] is strong and physical. She’d walk in here and you’d be like, ‘That looks like a Big 12 post player,’” Fennelly said. “[Camber] is very skilled on the perimeter. She’s long, she’s athletic, she can guard people. I think it fits what this team needed in the short term.” Fennelly said Iowa State has become a worldclass institution and as such went out into the world at large, looking for players internationally. Canadian freshman Bridget Carleton came into Iowa State’s program with early success in the first couple of exhibition games.

Four Iowa State recruits signed their national letters of intent Wednesday to play basketball for the Cyclones. Junior college transfers Emmanuel Malou and Donovan Jackson along with high school signees Jakolby Long and Solomon Young filled out the fourperson recruiting class. “[I’m] really excited about those four guys,” said ISU coach Steve Prohm. “[It’s a] good balance with two junior college kids, two high school kids. Point guard play was huge. To get a kid like [Emmanuel Malou], with his talent level and skill level is great, and then get two high school kids that can step in physically and play right away.” Malou comes in with the most hype, ranked the No. 2 junior college recruit as a four-star prospect. An Australian native, Malou will come to Iowa State by way of Yuba College in California. The 6-foot-9 forward averaged 14.7 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game as a freshman. Concerns regarding Malou’s eligibility exist, but Prohm is optimistic he’ll play immediately. “As of right now, our intention is that he plays from day one,” Prohm said. “But we’ll deal with that throughout the year and continue to deal with compliance and work at it.” “We had to get him done, and we did.” It will be awhile before anything becomes clear but locking up Malou during the early signing period will allow the team more time to work on clearing him. “We probably can have a decision or know by hopefully the end of spring or early summer,” Prohm said. Perhaps the second-

She led the Cyclones in their first exhibition win against Midwestern State with 19 points and added one assist as well as one steal. Fennelly said she has come into this year with a lot of hype. Carleton may have opened up the doors more for Iowa State’s recent international recruiting platform. “Is this an accident? We end up with a kid from Canada one year, and then Germany and Sweden,” Fennelly said. “We’ve become the United Nations.” Fennelly added, however, that dipping into Europe and other international recruiting spots will not be the norm for Iowa State. Iowa State tried recruiting a couple of athletes from Minnesota and Iowa, but it didn’t work out. Fennelly said the team searched in California and a few other places to find recruits, but it wasn’t going the way he wanted it to go. So the Cyclones went the international route. “In basketball now, the way that’s not normal that’s become normal is transfers and international students,” Fennelly said. “We thought we’d try it,

and we’ll see how it works out.” Iowa State will also add a new player from the Southeastern Conference next year. Heather Bowe, who played at Vanderbilt, will be at Iowa State this semester, but will sit out in the spring. She will start practice, though, and should play for the Cyclones next season. Fennelly said Bowe might have the earliest impact on the team. The integration from a European style of play to an American style may be tough for international players, but Fennelly said it’s not as hard as most people think. “Basketball is basketball,” Fennelly said. “If you’re big and strong and can go underneath the basket and rebound and hit people, you can do that in any language.” Carleton thinks Iowa State has an international platform with the announcement of these new recruits. “With me coming here and then the two recruits now, I feel like we are starting to get more international,” Carleton said. “People are starting to know about Iowa State all over the world.”

highest touted signee is Donovan Jackson, a point guard from Iowa Western Community College, ranked as the No. 7 junior college player. Jackson averaged 13.6 points, shooting 40 percent from deep as a freshman. “He’s one we wanted for sure,” Prohm said. “T.J. [Otzelberger] did a great job, knew him, had a relationship with him. I just had to see him play when I got here, really liked him, think he can do great things for us next year.” Rounding out the class are Solomon Young and Jakolby Long, a pair of high school recruits. Long is from Mustang, Okla., where he averaged 15 points, eight rebounds and six assists as a junior.Young averaged 15.8 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game as a junior out of Sacramento High School. “Solomon Young brings a toughness to our team that we’ll need coming into next year, and Jakolby [Long] brings some toughness on the perimeter,” Prohm said. Prohm added that Iowa State is most likely done with the early signing period, but he would love to get a mid-year transfer. Iowa State is also tar-

Bands to bring ISU to the dark side By Sha.Meng @iowastatedaily.com

This is not like your middle school arrangement of ‘Star Wars’ — it’s really hard and it’s really an awesome [arrangement].” Benjamin Nelson, senior in music, said the group began working on materials for the performance about a month ago. “A lot of times [we] pick tunes that we’ve done before [that are] still impressive and can demonstrate our skills,” Nelson said. Nelson previously participated in the marching band for three years and is now a saxophone player in both the ISU Wind Ensemble and ISU Jazz Ensemble I. “Within the marching band, we decked out in four uniforms and [are] sweating like nobody’s business,” Nelson said. “But [it is] really a positive experience. It’s a great way to share what the department has to offer Courtesy of Stephens Auditorium with the community.” Michael Erman, senior Band Extravaganza will feature three bands, including the marching band. in music, said Band Extravasongs, including the ISU in the football [stadium],” ganza is challenging beFight Song.

The ISU marching band, ISU Wind Ensemble and ISU Jazz Ensemble I will perform the annual Band Extravaganza concert at 7 p.m. Sunday at Stephens Auditorium. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster and at the door. The cost for students is $5 and $10 for adults. “This is an annual concert that features the excellence of our band program,” said Michael Golemo, conductor of the ISU Wind Ensemble and ISU director of bands. “It includes both of our top concert bands, the top jazz ensemble and the [ISU marching band]. This is the only indoor performance of the [ISU marching band], so this is a very special event.” The Band Extravaganza concert is well attended every November by not only Iowa State’s staff and students, but also many high school students, who come to enjoy the concert. “It’s a celebration of Cyclone’s spirit and sound,” Golemo said. The ISU marching band will feature the drum line in Band Extravaganza and visual effects. This includes playing multiple highlights from the season and a number of traditional

Changes to a number of bylaws were approved unanimously. The election commissioner will now assume the duties to investigate all claims into election fraud, which was previously

VOTERS p3 last two election cycles. However, Beatty-Hansen said, “Campus turnout was low.” One possible reason Ames saw such low voter turnout in areas heavily populated by students is that students often don’t register to vote in the town where they go to college, Beatty-Hansen said. “They still think of themselves as residents of

the responsibility of the vice commissioner. The vice commissioner is now responsible for the advertisement and promotion of all Student Government elections, including working with the public relations committee as well as figuring out budgets for the promotion. A proposed amendment that would raise the amount allowed to spend on a campaign to $5,000 was

also discussed. “This effectively removes the spending limit on campaigns and elections, but you cannot get reimbursed if you go over,” said Sen. Ian Marlenee. Sen. Cole Staudt opposed the bill, saying someone should not be able to spend an unlimited amount of money on a student election. The bill passed by a vote of 34 to 7.

Changes to the election code were also discussed. A change that alters the language to reflect the name change from Government of the Student Body to Student Government was unanimously approved. Student Government will consider modifying the Campustown constituency to a sub-constituency of United Residents of OffCampus. This would allow students from Campustown

who are interested in serving, but have no available spots, to be able to serve through United Residents of Off-Campus. Student Government unanimously approved $2,273.30 in funding for the ISU Golf Club for a national tournament in San Antonio, Texas, on Nov. 20. A bill to consider expanding the free-speech zones on campus was also read at the meeting. This

would allow organizations that are connected to Iowa State to be able to host protests or events on the grassy area around the Campanile, as long as it is at least 100 feet from buildings and does not impede foot traffic. Groups that are not connected to Iowa State would still be able to protest in the current free-speech zones. This bill will be discussed and voted on at next week’s meeting.

their hometown,” BeattyHansen said. Although, she said, students should register to vote in the city where they live for most of the year. Although many students may not register to vote in Ames, voter turnout percentages are calculated using the number of potential voters who are already registered. Of the three polling locations on campus, the busiest poll at Buchanan

Hall saw 3.03 percent of voters who were already registered to vote here. The second polling location, on Union Drive, saw less than 2 percent of already registered voters. At the polling location in Maple Hall, the one that saw nine voters all day, the percentage of voter turnout was less than 1 percent. “Students could easily take over City Council,” Martin said. If students voted together as one voting

block, she said, they could easily decide the outcome of local elections. Martin said it’s no secret that candidates value student input and want to see them vote. Beatty-Hansen, who was elected Nov. 4, said participation in local government is important for everyone, especially students in a college town. “Decisions that are made at a local level are most impactful,” Beatty-

Hansen said. Beatty-Hansen said council members vote on issues like CyRide that impact students directly in several ways, especially financially. She said council members are also responsible for making decisions about the growth of businesses in Ames, businesses where students go to shop, eat, drink or be entertained. Perhaps more importantly, council members

make decisions that impact job opportunities both for current students and alumni, Beatty-Hansen said. “There are a lot of decisions that would affect students,” Beatty-Hansen said. If you want to help shape the government that will advocate for another Fighting Burrito, more bike trails or more affordable rent, go to the Story County website and fill out your voter registration form.

Anytime oil is spilled, regardless of if it was spilled above ground from a train or under ground from a pipe leak, the environmental ef-

fects are astronomical. This is why the people who live and use the land in the six states the pipeline would go through are wor-

ried. Groups such as the Sierra Club, a grassroots campaign to move away from using oil, are celebrating the

Keystone suspension. However, supporters are still clinging to the hope that the election of a Republican president will allow

the Keystone pipeline to be 75004 passed. If this is the case, the pipeline will have been a topic in Congress for nine years.
