Additional ‘white heritage’ posters found
NAVIGATING A
By ISD Staff Roughly three weeks after the discovery of “white heritage” posters on campus, more were placed around Iowa State detailing a similar message. One poster that was placed outside of the Student Services Center featured a white family with two parents and three children, with text that reads, “In these times of degeneracy, this is true rebellion.” The previous posters that were found on campus in late October contained messages such as, “White students you are not alone be proud of your heritage,” and, “In 1950 America was 90 percent white, it is now only 60 percent white. Will you become a minority in your own country?” About 20 posters were found at that time. The original posters were removed because they violated the facilities and grounds use policy, according to Iowa State. The posters may have also violated Iowa State’s discrimination and harassment policies. Austen Giles, sophomore in public relations, said that he saw the poster outside the Student Services Center this morning and proceeded to report it to the Dean of Students Office. Giles said he was told that there were more “posterings going on this morning.” Clare Lemke, assistant director of the LGBTSS center, and Brad Freihoefer, director of the center, said they were going to release a statement via social media in response to the posters. Lemke said that other staff members found similar posters on other buildings around campus. The Daily reached out to the Dean of Students Office and the Iowa State Police Department, as well, in regard to the “white heritage” posters, but did not hear back

other’s Day 2012. Hayden Moffitt decided to take his mother out to eat to celebrate. Moffitt came out as gay two years prior, but his mother was unaware of the transition that Moffitt had started. “I was studying for a test at the time and my mom had been running errands all day,” Moffitt, senior in Architecture, said. “I was like ‘hey it’s Mother’s Day, let’s go get lunch. It was just us two.” Moffitt was carrying a men’s wallet, an accessory that Moffitt’s mother was not fond of. “She asked me if I wanted to be a boy,” Moffitt said, “and in the simplest way possible I said ‘yeah.’ [Her reaction] was not good at all.” Moffitt is now the president of Gamma Rho Lambda, a social sorority for the LGBTQ and ally community. Though his family has grown to accept his identity, Moffitt faces challenges

Council hearings focus on land development By Thomas.Nelson @iowastatedaily.com
Tyler Coffey/Iowa State Daily
Ames Mayor Ann Campbell listens to a presentation during an Ames City Council meeting.
The Ames City Council heard several hearings regarding land development around the city during its weekly Tuesday meeting. The main hearing of the night focused on apartments that were being considered to be developed near the Research Park by the Hunziker Development Company, LLC. The development plans involve the following areas: 2036, 2041, 2105, 2121 and 2135 of Cottonwood Road and 3201 University Blvd. The same hearing also considered a landscape plan for 2036 Cottonwood and 3201 University Boulevard. It would create a shared-use path on the west side of the development.
“The traffic flow doesn’t seem amenable for roads like that,” Chris Nelson, Ward 4 representative, said in regard to the path having a distinct 90-degree turn to University Boulevard. The development would prospectively have a shared-use path leading to Slater, Iowa. The resolution for the landscape plan passed. A resolution was also passed during the meeting for the re-roofing of CyRide with a contract for Academy Roofing and sheet metal of Des Moines. The reroofing could cost upward of $307,000. A hearing and resolution was also passed that included revising the Campustown Revitalization Area plan. The City Council also had a hearing on the Urban Revitalization Area for 2700, 2702, 2718, and 2728 and 114 Hyland and passed a resolution approving its plan. It also passed a resolution for a
development agreement with the River Caddis development project for a fiveyear period and a motion to purchase excess energy from customers using solar energy at a fixed cost method. The council also voted to hear more on the issue in the future and agreed to hear a report in the future. The only council member to vote against the measure was Amber Corrieri, at-large representative for the city of Ames. “I think we should have a study group first before we start charging people,” Corrieri said. The City Council rejected a landscape ordinance concept provisions that used points and sent it back for more planning and work. The City Council also established parking regulations and a 25 mph to 35 mph speed limit on Hyde Avenue that was formerly known as Grant Avenue.
Indigenous Film Series showcases Native perspectives By Keegan.Kearney @iowastatedaily.com The Indigenous Film Series wrapped up its third event this semester on Tuesday in Carver 101, playing the indigenous-made film “Rhymes for Young Ghouls.” “Rhymes for Young Ghouls” takes place in 1976 and centers around a young girl living on a Crow reservation who goes to great lengths to avoid being sent to the Indian Boarding school system of Canada, which was notorious for its mistreatment of young Native children. The film was shown as part of the Indigenous Film Series hosted by Iowa State’s American Indian studies program in honor of Indigenous Heritage Month, and showcases films made by Native people to expose Iowa State students to the indigenous perspective. Previous films that have been shown this semester include “Smoke Signals,” which touched on the stereotypes many Americans expect of modern Native people and “Winter in the Blood,” which dealt with issues of identity loss for Native culture after the trials of the Native American genocide. The series is brought to Iowa State every year to help provide a cultural context for non-Native students who may not have much experience with true, modern Native people. Jen Coppoc, who teaches an American Indian Studies course at
Iowa State, hosts the event. “Film is more or less a Western medium,” Coppoc said, “and so for Native filmmakers to use that Western medium to have their voices heard, which have been traditionally marginalized in Hollywood, it’s them their telling their stories through their lens. It’s really important to me to expose people to those voices.” The film industry often presents misleading ideas about Native people, with films such as “Pocahontas” and “Dancing with Wolves.” Coppoc said movies made by modern indigenous people present more accurate depictions of how they live and act, which is oftentimes shown to be not so different from how any other human lives. “I think one of best things that Native films do is they humanize Native people,” Coppoc said. “If nothing else, they show the audience that Native people have good, and bad, and light, and dark. Problems and victories and struggles just like any other people.” Coppoc hopes that by changing how we think about Native people, Americans can work toward righting some of the wrongs imposed upon them in the past. After years of violence and wars against the tribes inhabiting this continent, the American and Canadian governments manipulated and sometimes forced Native nations onto reservations, and sent their children to residential schools
designed to bleach the culture from them. These boarding schools were run by men and women who sexually and physically abused the children, and often did not properly feed or care for the children, leading to malnutrition and disease. The extent of abuses in Canadian residential schools was only recently revealed to the general public, and it is projected that more than 50 percent of the students in these schools either died or were killed by employees at the schools. There have also been reports of pregnancies from sexual abuse, and taking advantage of forced labor to reap profits off of the students. Despite all of the horrors that decimated indigenous populations in the past, Coppoc believes it is important for modern people to realize that the Native people are still here today, and are just as complex as the rest of the human population. “They’re still here, and they’re vibrant!” Coppoc said. “They are modern people, who have their own set of issues and problems. All of the films shown don’t glorify Native people. We don’t want to go the opposite way of stereotypes.” The next and final showing in the series, “Lost Nation: The Ioway,” will be shown Nov. 29 in Carver 101. The film is a documentary about two Ioway brothers who signed the deal that ceded the land we know today as Iowa to the U.S. government, and the forgotten people who once inhabited it.

Architecture lecture By David.Perrin @iowastatedaily.com Architecture is a huge part of the studies here on Iowa State’s campus. Throughout this academic year, the college is hosting an ISU Department of Architecture Lecture Series. From 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday, “Ar-
chitecture with a Detour” will be presented at Kocimski Auditorium in room 101 of the design building.

Thirty Iowa State graduate students competed in the “Three Minute Thesis” competition Tuesday afternoon in Hoover Hall, where they each had three minutes and one presentation slide to propose their theses to a panel of non-expert judges. The competitors represented fields of study that ranged from engineering and agriculture to natural and social sciences. They each faced the challenge of presenting their ideas in terms that someone with little knowledge in their field could easily understand. The ideas proposed varied greatly throughout the competition but continued to impress the five judges in the room. Topics ranged from generating online learning communities for at-risk students and the role of parents in treating childhood trauma, to eliminating circulating tumor cells and even creating noise reduction technology by studying owl feathers. One competitor, Rebekah Reynolds, discussed her hope of aiding in finding a cure to malaria in humans by studying the hormones of mosquitoes that carry the disease but develop an immune response to it. Ultimately, it was Sweta RoyCarson who convinced the judges’ panel that she deserved the top spot in the annual competition. Roy-Carson’s proposal discussed gene therapy as a means of finding cures for digestive diseases such as Hirschprung’s disease by studying the enteric neurons in the digestive tracts of zebra fish larvae. She was inspired by the story of

State Rep. Beth Wessel-Kroeschell speaks to College Democrats during a meeting on Tuesday night in Carver Hall. The College Democrats group hosted an “Our Path Forward” meeting after last Tuesday’s election.
By Nik.Heftman @iowastatedaily.com District 45 Iowa State Representative Beth Wessel-Kroeschell decided to watch Nov. 8 election results from the comfort of her home. Her election results were not finalized until 11:15 p.m. that night. To her delight, WesselKroeschell won her election with 56 percent of the vote. “I had probably one of the nastiest elections I’ve ever had,” she said. “I’m happy with the results.”
Wessel-Kroeschell’s joy would later turn to pain, however, after waking up to the results of the president race, which saw the election of Republican candidate Donald J. Trump. “I was shocked and hurt,” Wessel-Kroeschell said. “It’s hard to put into words. I’m in shock.” The state representative was invited by the Iowa State University College Democrats on Tuesday to speak at its meeting dubbed “Our Path Forward.” “It’s a tough time for Democrats now,” Wessel-Kroeschell said. “[The Iowa State Univer-
sity College Democrats] are young demands, and a lot of them worked hard to get Clinton elected.” The meeting took place in 160 Carver Hall. The College Democrats sought to create a safe space for students to vent and share ideas on how Democrats, and other like-minded organizations, can move forward. “The election has a lot of people on edge,” said Zachary Rodgers, senior in political science and president of the College Democrats. “We’re going to make sure that we have an active
Students react to Trump’s presidency By Mika.Brust @iowastatedaily.com With the recent election of Donald Trump as the new president, there has been a lot of controversy and outcry from many people — specifically, people from multicultural backgrounds. Trump’s harsh tone about his policies and opinions on those of multicultural settings was no secret before the election. His vice president, Mike Pence, has been seen by some as even harsher than Trump himself, especially when it comes to issues surrounding women and the LGBT community. Many students at Iowa State say they feel threatened by the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. Trump’s influence in the political world could mean many big negative changes for minority groups, as well as women around the country. Jose Prado, freshman in aerospace engineering, came to the United States from Puerto Rico
and worries for minorities like himself. “[Trump] was speaking his own opinion and that really hurt a lot of the minorities in the U.S. but he gained a lot of the support because the way he spoke about the controversies and the problems in the U.S. is [something] that most people in the U.S. could identify with,” Prado said. “I think that’s why he won most of the votes.” Trump’s views have also given many women a reason to fear his upcoming reign over America. Trump has said that he wants to overturn Roe v. Wade and defund Planned Parenthood, despite the fact that it helps millions of people with services such as annual exams, breast and cervical cancer screenings, HIV testing and more. He has also previously expressed that he believes there needs to be some sort of punishment for women who seek abortions. Nichole Timmerman, freshman in advertising, said she disagrees with Trump’s views on several
of these women’s issues. “I think that women definitely have a right to their bodies and if abortion or contacting Planned Parenthood is something that they wish to do, then they should have the option to do that,” Timmerman said. Pence has made clear his opinions on those in the LGBT community. Pence, who believes in conversion therapy, also believes that homosexuality is a choice and that preventing the marriage of gay couples is an enforcement of God’s idea and is not discriminatory. Opponents say Pence’s ideas will likely cause more discrimination against the LGBT community, along with what other’s say areTrump’s racist and sexist views that he has not been afraid to make loud and clear in the past. Just a day after the election, hate crimes began to surface in many different states. The morning after the election, there was an incident reported where a girl of of color was on a school bus and some students approached her,
asking her why she wasn’t sitting in the back of the bus. Posts appeared all over the internet once the election results were in. Screenshots of texts from parents in grief and worry for their children were uploaded; one woman posted
on Twitter that her mother told her not to wear her Hijab for fear of her life being put in more danger after the election. Derek Lutt, freshman in finance, believes the election was very negative and revolved around too much hatred and vulgarism.

presented by a health care system that has yet to accommodate the Trans community. “Doctors are saying that they are not able to serve trans students because they do not have the knowledge or expertise to do so,” said Brad Freihoefer, Director of the Iowa State LGBTSS Center. “That circumstance may not provide an option [for those individuals] in the city of Ames for certain care needs. In 2011, the National Center for Transgender Equality and National Gay and Lesbian Task Force distributed a survey dubbed the National Transgender Discrimination Survey. 19% of the sample (about 7,500 respondents) reported being refused care due to their transgender or gender non-conforming status, with even higher numbers among people of color. “Health care providers, to my experience, don’t know anything,” Moffitt said. “[Providers] having general knowledge about trans individuals would be great.” 28% of respondents were subjected to harassment in medical settings. 50% reported having to educate their medical providers about transgender care. “A lot of our trans-men on campus have this challenge where they may need gynecological care, but when they walk into [health care] places and people are really confused,” said Freihofer. “It’s an awkward struggle [for students] who have to make sure that they get asked the required questions for basic gynecological care.” Freihoefer went on to state that it can be very difficult to determine whether a students’ health insurance will cover trans-inclusive care since it depends on the state in which they reside. “It’s really case by case, which can make it complicated and a little scary for students who are navigating that.” To the delight of trans and gender non-conforming students at ISU, coverage for health care services related to medical transition have recently been expanded under Iowa State’s Student and Scholar Insurance Plan. “Certain benefits packages will cover transition related care, others will not,” said Freihofer. “Some of it depends on the doctor and how they write up a request.” Freihofer stated that students have been known to pay between $130 and $180 a month for prescription hormones. Chest reconstruction surgery, a procedure that many trans students have gone through, can cost over $6,000, a cost typically paid for out-ofpocket. Many students have turned to popular fundraising site GoFundME in an effort to raise funds for their opera-
tions. “Some of our students would fundraise over $6,000 to [undergo chest reconstruction surgery],” Freihofer said. “That [money] would set them up with a good doctor in Florida who could do that surgery.” One individual who underwent said operation was Derrick Moeller, 31, an ISU Alum. “I identify as transgender and male,” said Moeller. “If you look at me, I have the privilege of passing pretty well as the gender I prefer.” Moeller is a trans- man. He was assigned the gender of female at birth, but made the transition to match his gender identity, socially and eventually physically, following his undergraduate career at Iowa State. “For me, it felt right to go further and beyond social transitioning by using hormones to match my gender identity,” said Moeller. “Not everyone does that, wants that, or needs that, but that was one step of my process.” An active member of the LGBT community, Moeller bore several leadership roles during his undergraduate
“It’s a challenge to find health care professionals that are knowledgeable and comfortable with providing services [to trans individuals],” said Moeller. “I had to travel down to Des Moines to a doctor that could help me out.” The Theilen Health Center of ISU, at the time, did not have a medical profession on their team who could provide care to trans individuals. Moeller relied on the support of Freihofer, along with other LGBT faculty members, who in turn referred Moeller to several medical professionals that could provide the care that he needed. Moeller decided to take his physical transition further in 2012 by deciding to undergo chest reduction surgery. At the time, there were only two well-known surgeons in the nation who were willing to perform the procedure on transsexuals. One of them resided in Florida. The procedure would cost Moeller $8,000. He travelled to Florida, with his mother, to get the procedure done. “To my knowledge there’s not a doctor in Ames that is knowledgeable enough to provide care to transgender students, and that’s an issue,” Moeller stated. “I’m in San Francisco now, so I have greater access to health care professionals that are more knowledgeable.” Moeller currently attends the Cali-
“HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS TO MY EXPERIENCE
DON’T KNOW ANYTHING,” -Hayden Moffitt years. Moeller began questioning his gender identity during his time at ISU, causing him to explore different avenues of expressing his identity. He graduated in December 2010 with a bachelor’s in child, adult, and family services, going on to earn his master’s of education with student affairs in 2014. “I’ve always liked helping people,” said Moeller. “I thought I wanted to work with students in a college setting. That’s still a passion of mine.” Growing up in the ‘90s, Moeller felt that there wasn’t much education and language with regard to gender identity. Moeller identified as gender queer going in to ISU as a transfer student. He began transitioning using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in 2011.
fornia School of Professional School of Psychology in pursuit of a PsyD in clinical psychology. “I’m at a point where I’m satisfied with where I’m at with the transition,” Moeller said. “I’m at a good place.” Feihofer said that the LGBTSS center is currently in the process of helping students access information about trans-inclusive healthcare. The LGBTSS website contains tabs and links dubbed “Trans @ ISU” that contain tips and information for students. “Process, service and accessible opportunity for people who are trans and gender non - conforming has always been my hope,” said Freihofer. “There are some [inclusive] things that the university is doing very well, but there’s still work to be done.”

The most recent “white heritage” poster spotting also follows a video message from Iowa State President Steven Leath where he responded to the fliers a little more than a week ago. The video message was namely in response to the students and community members who had felt fear and anguish after the discovery of the posters. “The posters found on our campus two weeks ago may be factually described as ‘white heritage’ posters rather than ‘white supremacy’ posters because they do not legally violate the First Amendment,” Leath said. “However, as human beings, we recognize those posters as hateful, racist and bigoted.” The video message was sent to the entire Iowa State community where Leath also discouraged students from discourse that included hatefilled speech.

Iowa State is not the place for you.” Several students were upset with Leath’s message, however, citing that it should have been sent sooner, instead of the email the community originally received just hours after the posters were taken down the first time. “I only wish he would have sent this out earlier,” said Maddie Hora, junior in speech communication. “The video still made a movement and will impact campus, but it would’ve done more if it was sent earlier.”

HOW WE LOST
5 EDITORIAL
Clinton supporters failed to recognize writing on the wall By David.Karayof @iowastatedaily.com

I
had thought that by this point of the year, Giant Meteor 2016 would have scorched the earth and provided us respite for the burden of guilt and self-reflection that would have no doubt set in once the elections had passed. When the dust settled and we emerged from the dark, it seemed that fate had a sense of humor, and President-elect Donald Trump was he who would laugh last. On Nov. 9, a wave of denial swept the nation, bitter tears were shed and when all was said and done, Hillary Clinton had conceded the election. Democrats all over the country have questioned how they could have been so blindsided, how this could happen without so much as a warning? The answer is simple: The Democratic Party convinced its voters to invest support in a self-serving, power hungry candidate who was unable to find it within herself to address the true concerns of the American people without first being handed a fat check from special interests. The Democratic establishment lied to its constituency, lulling it into a false sense of security, which the vast majority blindly accepted. Despite Sanders supporters’ accusations of corruption, election rigging, media collusion and DNC bias, the party pushed forward with the weaker candidate, dismissing half of its voters and causing internal conflicts within the progressive wing. The Sanders supporters — and the Trump supporters, for that matter — were aware that the media was purposely misrepresenting their nominee and that the primaries were being run like a coronation as opposed to an election, but they were mocked as conspiracy theorists and smeared as misogynists, “Bernie Bros.” It was quickly established that anyone unwilling to fall in line immediately was a sexist or a bigot, a notion that Clinton supporters gleefully perpetrated. By using buzzwords and sensationalist journalism, the media was able to construct a reality separate from that which the majority of the voting population lived in, one characterized by censorship and manipulation, cognitive dissonance and group think.
Thanksgiving is a time to spend with loved ones, not to go out shopping with masses of people in search of the best deals.
Black Friday has no place during the holidays Tyler Coffey/Iowa State Daily
A man stares in shock as Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s chances at the presidency grow increasingly slim on Nov. 8 at the Iowa Democratic Party election watch party in Des Moines.
It wasn’t until the recent WikiLeaks dump that our concerns were validated and that the truth about this election was finally exposed. It’s a sham, all of it, a production paid for by crooked moneyed interests and force fed to the people of this country. Clinton was the chosen candidate well before anyone else had even announced their candidacy, and the primaries were conducted as a formality so that the party could continue to boast its credibility. In order to deflect from Clinton’s underwhelming candidacy and the leaks, as well as her criminal investigation, the media actively spread fantastical hoax stories while censoring information from the public and viciously discrediting any critiques of either their methods or their queen. It’s also important to note that through WikiLeaks, we discovered that Clinton and her cohorts conspired with the media to ensure more coverage of Trump during their primary because they thought he’d be easier to beat. Let that sink in. The Democrats established a narrative that any third-party vote would be a waste and that anyone considering Trump was a racist by default. In other words, there was only one “right” vote, and anyone who didn’t follow this myopic worldview is the enemy. Instead of appealing to the intelligence of its base and having a con-
versation about the future of America, the party put forth empty conjecture — “she’s a progressive that gets things done” — and disingenuous motives. As the election progressed, the party chose to ignore the rising popularity of Trump, a candidate who, much like Sanders, was speaking to everyday Americans, instead of at them. In spite of his racist remarks, Trump’s campaign rhetoric was largely in support of systematic changes and reinvigorating middle America. Conversely, the Clinton camp relied on identity politics and celebrity endorsements, not once considering that the people of this country were as sick and tired as Sanders had suggested months before. Clinton was unelectable from day one. Her supporters were unwilling to hear objective insight regarding their candidate, even from their own party, and instead chose to ignore the writing on the walls. When we had the opportunity to elect an honest candidate, and even after, to speak up against dishonest election practices, a large majority of the electorate decided to stay silent. Those who were most concerned about a potential President Trump win were the least willing to work together to stop it, in effect dooming the progressive movement to at least four more years of stagnation under our new president.
ISU vandalism takes special kind of moron By Alex.Felker @iowastatedaily.com Once again, our campus has been vandalized by racist, venomous messages firmly aimed at minority students at Iowa State. It takes a special kind of moron to pull off something like this. It takes a unique sort of ignorance. An almost puerile conceit; like he or she believed they were bending the rules in a self-perceived fashionable insolence — the same way in which a person might boast over having cheated the post office out of a few cents. It is the embarrassing act of a child. A barefaced “protest” entered into with an affordably corresponding cowardice.
I can easily imagine him or her scampering around in the early hours of the morning — high off adrenaline and a false sense of justice — possessed by a furtive, self-righteous conviction that they were a hypothetical Robin Hood. The supposed “message” is pure bilge. The choice in words of “degeneracy” and “rebellion” have the stink of a willingly illusioned amateur political philosopher with an inferiority complex and stagnated worldview. I would say they should be ashamed, but no reproach on my part could convince them they haven’t got it all figured out. They should be pitied more than anything else. And to those who refuse the
obvious racist sentiments behind these posters: This is not an appropriate ideological battleground. The inherent implication is that more white families and more white children are somehow required to restore peace and order to our society. Ergo non-whites are undesirable. How could this not be racist? I desperately, perhaps uselessly hope that these posters don’t actually resonate with anybody on Iowa State’s campus. That being said, the shouted racial slurs last Tuesday certainly do not alleviate my fears. I can only hope that the reasonable majority will prevail over what is obviously an oblivious and thoughtless minority

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Protest on Veterans Day disrespects nation’s heros By George H. Weston Graduate Student, Sociology I first want to make it clear that I do not have any issue with the participants of the Not My President protest that took place Friday on the campus of Iowa State University. This country was founded on civic discourse and should be protected in all forms that are not destructive or aimed at the wrong audience. My issue rests solely on the organizers of the protest and their ill-conceived decision to
take attention away from Veterans Day. This is not an obscure holiday and it would be expected that it is listed in virtually every calendar. I want to believe that somehow the organizers were ignorant of this fact, otherwise it can appear that they do not value the veterans and current military personnel who attend this campus. This protest could have been scheduled last Thursday or any day this week. There was a meeting later in the day to determine plans of creating an alliance go-
It’s ironic that immediately after celebrating the one day set aside to be grateful for all that we have, we go and buy more things on the busiest shopping day of the year. But if that isn’t ironic enough, over the past few years, major retailers have started “Black Friday” on Thanksgiving night. Beginning Black Friday on Thanksgiving speaks to where we are as a society. The idea of obtaining “more, more, more” seems to be more important than spending time away from the mainstream “go, go, go” world we live in. It also speaks to the decreasing value we put on spending quality time with loved ones. Some roll their eyes at the idea that people go into stores on Thanksgiving night just to save a few dollars. Yet, you can’t blame consumers for falling into the trap that “Black Friday” on Thanksgiving offers: You get a good deal and you don’t have to get up in the middle of the night. While consumers may be able to enjoy a good portion of Thanksgiving before heading to the stores, retail employees aren’t that lucky. These workers often have to sleep through the day or leave festivities early in order to start work at 4 p.m. or 5 p.m. and work late into Thanksgiving night or the next morning. The disdain for Black Friday habits is not new to 2016. In 2014, there were more than 70 petitions on change.org asking stores and consumers to change their Black Friday habits, according to CNN Money. Many of the petitioners felt that Thanksgiving is a time that people should have to spend time at home with their families, not being forced to work — the ISD editorial board feels the same way. Ultimately, the fault is on the stores: their leaders are the ones who decide whether to open on Thanksgiving Day. It’s up to the stores to take the high road, which can mean choosing to lose money, and waiting until the next day to open stores. This year, some stores are taking the high road. The Mall of America, one of the largest shopping venues in the United States, announced in early October that it will not be opening on Thanksgiving Day, according to the Star Tribune. “We’re excited to give this day back to our employees so they can celebrate with their families,” Jill Renslow, the mall’s senior vice president of marketing and business development, told the Star Tribune. Some consumers might feel disempowered to change how corporations set up Black Friday, but in reality, Black Friday’s success is dependent on consumer turnout. Without the past petitions and voiced concerns about having shopping start on Thanksgiving, in addition to declining number of shoppers showing up to the stores, the Mall of America and other stores would likely not be withdrawing from starting on Thanksgiving. Let’s take Thanksgiving back.
ing forward. This meeting could have included improved plans to protest the next week. Instead, the organizers felt that it had to take place on Veterans Day and they even forced President Steven Leath into a tough position when they congregated in Beardshear Hall: Does he cancel a previously scheduled meeting with veterans or listen to the protesters? He chose to cancel on the veterans. I don’t blame him because if he had chosen the veterans, then that would have opened
him up to the false narrative that he doesn’t care about the concerns of the student protesters. Instead of getting to show his full appreciation to veterans, he was left having to speak to students on a topic that could have waited just a couple of more days. So if these organizers truly want to start a discourse and gain allies, then in the future they should properly honor the men and women of this country who have sworn to defend the right of students to exercise the First Amendment and choose a more appropriate day.

SPORTS ISU grinds out win over UNI 6
Cyclone guards lead team to second win By Sean.Sears @iowastatedaily.com
The fans were treated to a tight game of basketball Tuesday night at Hilton Coliseum, but not necessarily a great game, as Iowa State barely edged Northern Iowa 76-68. The in-state rival Panthers did a great job neutralizing every Cyclone on the court not named Jadda Buckley or Seanna Johnson. Buckley ended her night with 25 points. Luckily, neither team ever got it going offensively, with both teams shooting poorly on the night. On defense, Iowa State had trouble keeping its players on the court as the team ran into foul trouble early, and Northern Iowa started to attack the post. The Panthers scored 42 percent of their points in the paint, and, along with some clutch 3-pointers, allowed the team to hang around with the Cyclones for the entirety of the game With both team strug-

gling to score, the difference makers in Tuesday night’s win were Seanna Johnson and Jadda Buckley. “When you play games like this, your best players have to play well,” head coach Bill Fennelly said. “Jadda, Seanna and Bridget for a half where phenomenal.” Buckley fought her way through tight spaces and bigger bodies around the rim to score, as the Cyclones ran their entire offense through the junior guard, who continued to make some tough shots against a solid defensive effort by the Panthers. As for Johnson, she had her first double-double of the season, finishing with 14 points and career-high 18 rebounds, as the twoway guard continued her domination on the boards. Northern Iowa head coach Tanya Warren complimented Johnson’s game after her career night. “She is a matchup nightmare,” Warren said. “You put a big on her, she goes by her. You put a guard on her, she goes at them.” Iowa State grinded through all four quarters of the game, relying on clutch shots from their two stars in Buckley and Johnson

while also hitting 24 of their 28 free throws. Fennelly said Northern Iowa scouts opponents better than any team will all season, and that was apparent, as Iowa State struggled to do anything against their defense, shooting 41 percent from the field. Iowa
State also had another poor shooting night from deep, shooting 35 percent from 3. But even with lack of offensive production, Fennelly was just grateful for the win, and proud of the trio of Johnson, Buckley and guard Bridget Carleton for not shying away from
big shots. “Knowing you have to take a bad, and that hurts your percentage,” Fennelly said. “But that’s being a teammate, and all three of them are willing to take the responsibility.” Both Johnson and Buckley found themselves with
the ball late in the shot clock and having to force some awkward shots to avoid a violation. And while some may have deferred or feared stepping into the spotlight, Buckley only has one fear. “I hope it goes in,” Buckley said.
Future Cyclones follow similar recruiting paths By Rachel.Given @iowastatedaily.com
Emily Blobaum/Iowa State Daily
Iowa State assistant head coach Kelly Nordell watches her swimmers during a meet against Iowa last December in Beyer Hall. The Iowa State swimming team added four new swimmers last Wednesday during signing day.
The Iowa State swim team inked four swimmers for next season on the first signing day of the year last Wednesday. The Cyclones kept in line with their Midwest recruiting, as all four of the 2016 commits are from the area. Naperville, Illinois, native Wyli Erlechman competes for the Fox Valley Swim Team, following similar footsteps that former Cyclone Megan Childs took four years ago. During her sophomore year of high school, Erlechman competed in the Illinois state championship for Neuqua Valley High School in the 200-yard medley relay race. “That’s a huge accomplishment for a sophomore,” head coach Duane Sorenson said. “I think she’s got a great upside to be one of our top-100 butterfliers [and] 100 backstro-
kers in school history when it’s all said and done.” Kennedy Tranel is ranked the 12th-best recruit out of Wisconsin, according to collegeswimming.com. Tranel will join current freshman standout Keely Soellner as a middle-distance swimmer. The Cyclones seem to be favored by many swimmers of Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Martha Haas will join Haley Ruegemer, Emma Ruehle and Emma Ruehle as the fourth Cyclone from Eden Prairie in the past five years. Haas and Ruegemer are close friends and Ruegemer couldn’t be more excited to have one of her best friends follow her footsteps at Iowa State. “I still remember the first day she got to practice,” Reugemer said. “She switched over from Minnetonka Swim Club and she was kicking with one of the other girls from Minnetonka. I just hopped in her lane and introduced
myself. We’ve been best friends ever since. I’m really excited to have her here.” Over the past two years, Haas has asked Reugemer about Iowa State and the swim program. Haas’ brother is a senior at Iowa State, so that surely aided her decision to become a Cyclone. “Haas is going to be a great breaststroker,” Sorenson said. “She’s going to be pushing Danica [Delaquis] and Kasey [Roberts] for the No. 1 spot next year.” Sorenson believes having a freshman compete against the seniors helps the team dynamic as well. Another commit, Ames native Grace Snyder, holds the Iowa state high school record in the 200-yard medley relay at 2:07.38. Synder helped lead Ames High School to its sixth state title in seven years at the 2016 Iowa Girls State Championships. Sorenson believes Synder is versatile and is excited to see where her strengths lie.
Mike Warren says he plans to stay at Iowa State By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com In the third quarter against Kansas State on Oct. 29, running back Mike Warren lined up in the backfield. As he was handed the ball for a routine run play, the sophomore took off. Warren started out downfield. It was a normal run play. At least, that’s how it started. “I ran the ball, made one guy miss and then, boom,” Warren said. “A helmet came flying at my ankle and that’s all she wrote.” Since that game nearly three weeks ago, Warren has been attempting to shake his ankle injury. The process, though, has been tough. Against Oklahoma the next week, Warren was medically cleared to play, coach Matt Campbell said, contrary to a report Warren’s mom, Barbara, gave the Des Moines Register. Campbell said it just wasn’t fair to Warren to play when he wasn’t ready. So he remained on the sideline. Against Kansas last week, Warren carried the ball just three times. And while he had hoped for more attempts heading into the game, Warren said he was just too sore
and couldn’t make it work. “It’s just one of those things that you have to take it slow,” Warren said. “You don’t want to rush back into it. And despite the three carries I had [against Kansas], I felt like there was a lot more I could have done if I wasn’t injured.” And since he has been injured, Warren has been limited in practice which then affects him on gameday. “[Warren’s] big deal is getting himself healthy and getting himself back into the swing of things,” Campbell said. In his absence, freshmen David Montgomery and Kene Nwangwu have been filling in. Against the Jayhawks, Montgomery ran the ball 24 times for 169 yards, running for nearly three times as many yards as the next Iowa State rusher. “David’s excellent. He’s coming along pretty good,” Warren said. “The training wheels are off and he’s been rolling ever sense.” Warren had a similar praise for Nwangwu, too. “[Nwangwu] is coming along,” Warren said. “He has to get more into understanding the game plan. He’s mostly on kick returns, so that’s pretty much all he’s focused on. He just has to go
deeper into the game, and I think he’s pretty special too.” With both Montgomery and Nwangwu ahead of Warren on the depth chart—and will likely remain so for the remainder of the season— some have speculated that Warren’s future at Iowa State would be limited. But Warren said that isn’t the case. “I’m definitely going to stay here,” Warren said. “Just for me, just watching those guys, those two grow up—it’s fun for me because I was once in their shoes too. I was in that process. Right now I’m just at a mentoring standpoint, just helping those guys out with what they really need and if they have any questions, I’ll probably be able to answer them.” Iowa State will take on Texas Tech on Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium in an effort to gain its second win in a row. Warren, who is slowly easing back to full strength, said he wants to play in the secondto-final game of the season. Whether that happens, though, is not set in stone. “Today it felt pretty good, but tomorrow can feel like complete crap,” Warren said. “It’s just taking it day by day. I’m probably going to try and play again Saturday and just see how it is.”

Daily Does: Beauty Hacks By Madison.Ward @iowastatedaily.com and Reagan Clay @iowastatedaily.com Reporters Madison Ward and Reagan Clay tried Beauty Hacks from Marie Claire.
COVERING EYE CIRCLES Take away the appearance of under-eye circles using lipstick as a corrector. Clay: I did not have any foundation on my under eyes beforehand. First, I had applied red lipstick underneath my whole under eye. I then used my finger to even it out. After that, I had applied liquid foundation on top of it, blotting it with my makeup sponge. I had to apply my foundation twice to get rid of the red. I did not like this hack from the beginning. First, it was hard to know how much had to be used of the lipstick. Second, the red just wasn’t going away. Even after applying the foundation over it, there was too much color on my under eyes compared to the rest of my face. The results of this hack could have been different depending on the kind of lipstick you use or even a different shade of red. So depending on the color and brand you use, this could possibly work for you. Ward: Color correcting the skin before applying traditional foundation and concealer has been a huge trend in recent months, and with that huge trend can come a huge price tag. For this reason, it’s logical that there would be hacks for it, however, this particular hack was a fail. Color correctors come in a wide range of colors from green to lavender each with a specific skin tone abnormality to correct. For the under eye area, which can contain blueish tinted circles or bags, using the colors on the opposite side of the color wheel will counteract the dark circles. Opposite of blue are the warmer shades of the color wheel, which is why using red lipstick sounds like a possible quick fix. The two major issues with this hack for me was
that I am quite pale, which means the red couldn’t blend into my skin to correct my dark circles, unlike the peach color corrector I traditionally use under my eyes. No matter how hard I tried to spread out the pigment, I ended up looking like I was sick. The second issue was that creme lipstick doesn’t ever dry down or blend into the skin, so anything you apply on top of it will mix with the lipstick. As a result of this mixture, I was left with pink circles under my eye, which is not what you want.
VASELINE MAKEUP REMOVER No eye makeup remover? Replace it with vaseline and a paper towel. Clay: First, I took a little bit of vaseline on my finger and rubbed it around my eye area. Remember, a little bit of vaseline goes a long way so do not use too much. After the vaseline is all rubbed in, I took a paper towel and wiped it off. I was afraid that this hack would leave my eyelids oily and my eyelashes goopy but it surprisingly did not. It took almost all of my makeup off, except for the red lipstick that was on my under eyes. The only time I see myself using this hack in the future, however, is if I have run out of my makeup remover, but I just so happen have some vaseline. I think my makeup remover works

better than this hack and that’s why I only see myself using it if I absolutely have to. Ward: After the red lipstick as a color corrector hack, we attempted to remove it with vaseline as a replacement for traditional eye makeup remover. Logically this sounds like a good hack because oils break down makeup and vaseline is a very oily product.
BEFORE
The way I approached this was by taking a roughly pea-sized amount of product and applied it to my eyelids and began massaging it into the skin. After a few minutes of working the vaseline into the skin, I did start to see some pigment coming off on my hands. But as I saw pigmentation being removed, I also felt my eyelashes being weighed down and my

skin getting uncomfortably greasy. Having oily skin to start with made this a very negative side effect for me and was one of the reasons I wouldn’t recommend this as a replacement for traditional makeup remover products. In a pinch, I think applying vaseline and wiping it off with a paper towel and then washing your face with traditional cleanser will get the job done, however, I don’t think the side effects are worth the payoff.
SETTING NAIL POLISH

In a hurry and don’t have time for your nails to dry? Grab a can of cooking oil. Clay: I first painted my nails with two coats. I then let them dry for about five minutes and then sprayed the cooking oil on my fingernails, holding the can about 5 inches from my nails. This hack is supposed to set your nails polish, making it dry faster and dry glossy. This absolutely did not work. We had to lay a few paper towels down because the cooking oil was really messy to work with. I also didn’t like how it made my hands feel. After spraying it, all I wanted to do was wash my hands
because of how greasy they felt. And of course I didn’t like how it did not work. My nails did not dry any faster. If anything, they took longer to dry. The only upside to this hack was my cuticles looked amazing after and that was only because I had used an oil. Ward: Using cooking spray as a substitute for quick-dry nail spray is not something I would recommend to people trying to give themselves an athome manicure. The thought process behind it is that spraying the cooking oil will leave you with shiny nails that dry faster. I am here to report that while the oily residue left by the spray did give a glossy look, the nails didn’t dry faster and the glossy look was oil caked on my fingers. This hack is rather picturesque because the worst part about a manicure is waiting for the polish to dry so you don’t mess up your hard work, but unfortunately it isn’t worth it. The safest bet to maintain your handy work and get it to stay put is to go for a traditional top coat. It may not be the most ideal method, but it’s what works.
Six tricks to get New Ames hair salon to open on Main Street the ‘perfect look’ By Nridget.Gegman @iowastatedaily.com
By Lesa.Wicks @iowastatedaily.com Most mascara ads show that using one type of mascara will give you the perfect lashes. These ads are deceiving because for most girls, it takes many tricks to get the “perfect look.” Trick No. 1: Start by using an eyebrow brush to brush your eyelashes. If you had a crazy night of sleep, your eyelashes may have gotten tangled together. Brushing them out helps reduce clumping later on. ELF eyebrow brushes can be purchased at any drugstore for $2. Trick No. 2: Use an eyelash curler before you start. If you don’t have very long lashes, this can help you achieve a longer look. ELF eyelash curlers can be purchased from any drugstore for $3. Avoid using your eyelash curler after applying mascara because it can damage your lashes. Trick No. 3: When applying mascara, apply to the front and the backs of the lashes. Most girls forget that applying mascara

to the back of your lashes will improve the length and help with making your eyes look bigger. Trick No. 4: Use more than one mascara in the process. Using a lash lengthening mascara along with a mascara that helps with volume or curling. Trick No. 5: When applying to your lower lashes, apply underneath the lashes versus above. This will make them longer
and help to avoid them smudging underneath your eyes. Trick No. 6: If you smudge your mascara, use a Q-tip to clean it up. Using a Q-tip will help get rid of the smudge while keeping your eyelashes looking the same as they did. Whether you’re looking for an everyday eye look or something to make your eyes pop for a special occasion, mascara is an easy way to achieve that!
Valor & Violet, an Aveda hair salon, will open Nov. 28 on 310 Main Street. Josh Duchene and Kari Camenisch co-own the salon. Duchene said the salon has a fresh, organic feel accompanied by an experienced team of hair stylists. Duchene started hair school in 1999. He had the opportunity to work for a hair product manufacturer in Los Angeles, then moved back and worked in Ames with another salon in town. He was approached by Aveda to open a new salon in Ames with its product line. He was ready to do his own thing. “We are going to try to make this team really tight and family oriented,” Duchene said. The salon wants to be involved as much as possible with organizations at Iowa State and in the community. Valor & Violet offers a discount to all Iowa State students, faculty and alumni. The salon has five experienced stylists and they all continue training classes. They are busy with sched-
uled appointments but do accept walk-ins. Calling and making an appointment is recommended. They are going to offer makeup services by a welltrained makeup artist from Des Moines, Duchene said. “We are going to be different than any other salon in town,” Duchene said. “You are going to get some of the best service in town and the best products. The overall experience is going to be top-notch.” The Aveda products are natural, organic and environment friendly, Duchene said. The interior of the salon gives off the environment-friendly look with a lot of woodwork. The salon is big on recycling and will sell T-shirts for donation money to different organizations. Duchene recommended a new Aveda product called Split and Repair. He said it is a good product everyone can use, especially in the winter months. He was excited to announce that Aveda has a whole men’s line and just redid its skincare line. He said that the control paste and styling paste are great products for men to have on hand. All these products

HOLIDAILY Host a Friendsgiving Wednesday , November 16, 2016
By Blair.Bailey @iowastatedaily.com Some students say their friends at school become their family away from home. Spending time and celebrating with the ones we love is a prevalent part of the holiday season. Friendsgiving has become a popular way for friends to come together to enjoy a holiday meal, just as a family would. Megan Vander Molen, an Iowa State alumna agreed. “Friendsgiving is a great send-off before break and a good way to have everyone together before the holidays,” Vander Molen said. Vander Molen hosted a few Friendsgivings throughout her time at Iowa State. Some advice she has for those who may host such an event is to focus on having fun because no one expects it to be perfect. She also said to stick with a pot luck style. After all, we are all poor college kids. A lot can go into planning and hosting a party depending on how elaborate the host wants the party to be. From the invitation to the food, a clear plan is key to the success of your Friendsgiving. The first part of planning any part is the invitation.

One way to enjoy Thanksgiving with friends before heading back home is to host a Friendsgiving. “Friendsgiving is a great send-off before break ...,” ISU alumna Megan Vander Molen said.
agement Club president, had similar views when it comes to the invitation for a Friendsgiving. It depends on how formal or informal you want the party to be. A formal party would require an actual invitation, but if it is more laid back, a group chat or a social media group would be suf-
ficient, Lawson said. A Facebook invite would work for a gathering like Friendsgiving, Liska said. But if you want to be more formal, yo can send a handwritten invitation. Liska and Lawson thought a potluck style dinner would be best in the case of Friendsgiving. It is a good way to cut
cost for the host. “A potluck is a must,” Lawson said. “Have the host get the big item.” For a potluck style meal, it is important to assign each party guest with a specific dish, so you do not end up with five of the same dishes, Liska said. Liska also said to think through the little details
such as having enough utensils, making people feel at home and keeping the party flowing. Playing games during holiday celebrations is something many families do to have fun while in each other’s company. Cards Against Humanities is a popular game being played right now, but
do not forget about the old school board games to keep things fun, Lawson said. Spending time with friends and family is a great way to spend the holiday season, and adopting the idea Friendsgiving is a great way to bring friends together to celebrate and give thanks.
The business behind Black Friday By Emma.Blickensderfer @iowastatedaily.com After turkey is consumed, and midday naps are taken, people across the country gear up for Black Friday shopping to get the best deals of the year. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are such pervasive holidays in the United States that more people shop on the two days than vote for president, said Beatriz Pereira, assistant professor of marketing. The shopping days are key for consumers to purchase the best gifts for the lowest prices. Businesses are able to keep prices low by strategizing accordingly. “All products have a margin sitting out there,” Malliet said. “The idea of getting something for an exceptionally low cost is not what’s happening.” Companies increase their profits in such a way that allows them to give large discounts so customers think they are getting products for next to nothing. In reality,
companies may be reducing profitability, but they still gaining some kind of profit. Prices of items are also able to be reduced due to the amount of money saved on advertisements. Malliet said that since consumers already know about Black Friday, companies cut a certain amount from their advertising budget. Since they are spending less money on the promotion of the sale, they are able to lower their prices. Therefore, the money that the companies save in advertising can be seen in the lowered prices during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There is a national movement on these days that makes people think, “Let’s all go out and buy products because …” said Dan Malliet, lecturer in marketing. Large retail corporations also increase sales by strategically positioning products. “We are told where to move things by corporate, and a lot of it is about having things organized for the
most effortless shopping and having careful placement of promotion signs that welcome you when you walk in and guide you around the store,” said Elijah Gebler, holiday sales associate at Forever 21 and junior in computer engineering. Pereira said stores are very careful with the placement of items in the store. For example, because most people rush to electronics, the store will place other merchandise on that path. Stores also place items near the checkout because people are less likely to think about what they are adding to their carts while they are in line to pay, Pereira said. She also said, because of this strategy, it is best to go shopping with a strict list to ensure you are getting the best deals and not spending more money than you originally planned. Companies also use Black Friday as a way to promote their brand. By discounting certain products, consumers can test out the brand to later decide that there is

enough value to buy something else from that brand for the full price, Malliet said. Sales like these present a good opportunity to encourage people to sample or try a product in a line to get the experience of the brand. Along with Black Friday, Cyber Monday is another chance for consumers to save money on gifts.
“People who are shopping online are able to compare prices and can compare coupons,” Pereira said. Shopping online also allows people to celebrate the holidays with friends and family rather than spending time in checkout lines. In order to compete with online retailers, brick and mortar stores started open-
ing earlier and earlier, and invading into Thanksgiving, to get their deals out before the online sales started, Pereira said. Now, the trend is starting to revert back to large corporations opening on Black Friday to allow consumers to focus on spending time with friends and family during the holiday.
