Community learns of, mourns losses By Ellen.Bombela @iowastatedaily.com About 50 students, administrators, faculty and community members gathered Monday evening in the Campanile Room at the Memorial Union for the Transgender Day of Remembrance. The event started with a brief speech from Brad Freihoefer, director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Student Services. Freihoefer explained what the goal of the evening was. “We planned this event not as a presentation where we talk to you, but as a community dialogue where we can mourn together and work together to make our community safer for, and more inclusive of, trans people,” Freihoefer said. “Tonight we will memorialize individuals who lost their
lives because of anti-transgender violence.” Clare Lemke, Student Service specialist, then gave a brief speech about a few ground rules for the evening. Some of the ground rules Lemke talked about included selfcare, respecting and believing each other and avoiding misgendering and outing. After the initial speeches were given, the audience was broken up into small groups. Each small group was given a card with a name of a transgender that was murdered within the past year. The cards included the personal stories of victims, including information about them, their murder and other information. Groups were then asked to volunteer to share their victim’s story with the large group, and their feelings they had after learning more
about the person. After the discussion ended, the memorial portion of the event began. About 80 names of those who had been murdered within the past year were read off by volunteers, along with their cause of death and location. The reading of the names was followed by a moment of silence. To end the event, small groups were asked to come up with ways they could take action to help support transgender people and end the violence against them. Some of the groups’ ideas included spreading awareness, having positive media, educating people about transgender people and creating safe spaces. “I don’t have a lot of education about gender issues,” said Andy Hittenmiller, junior in sociology, after the event. “I’m feeling a little overwhelmed.

Students share sympathy
ISU community members gather in support of Mizzou By Ashley.Green @iowastatedaily.com

owa State’s multicultural groups joined forces inside Beardshear Hall on Monday afternoon to show their support of the students at the University of Missouri in the ISU Supports Mizzou protest. The Black Graduate Student Association, Black Student Alliance, African Students Association and the Latino Graduate Student Association were among the groups present. This was done in support of the AfricanAmerican students at the University of Missouri who have faced continuous discrimination. Recent events at the university have prompted Tim Wolfe, system president, to resign. More than 100 students, faculty and others gathered in the main entrance of Beardshear to listen to those who have felt oppression at Iowa State similar to feelings at Mizzou. Beginning in September, racial incidents at the University of Missouri have prompted students to organize and protest. It all started with a Facebook post by Payton Head, Missouri Student Association president. The widespread post described a group of young people yelling racial slurs at Head, and his frustration with bigotry at Mizzou. Tension at Mizzou continued to build throughout the semester, including: a homecoming incident involving a drunken white man insulting a group of protesting students, who then continued to protest by blocking former president Wolfe’s car to get his attention; three “Racism Lives Here” rallies; a list of eight demands that included the removal of Wolfe as president and an increase in African-American faculty and staff; a graduate student’s hun-

U.S. Rep. Steve King, the Republican congressman representing Ames, has thrown his support behind Ted Cruz in the 2016 race. “I believe Ted Cruz is the candidate that’s the answer to my prayers,” King told reporters during a press conference in Des Moines. The Cruz campaign released a video message
from King on Monday morning. “Ted Cruz has the positive conservative vision for the country that we need to correct the failures of the Obama Administration,” King said in the video. “When I survey the challenges facing our country, and the slate of individuals who have stepped forward to offer to lead, one man stands out as the courageous conservative whom I believe can restore the soul of America. That man is Ted Cruz.” Cruz released a statement welcoming the endorsement shortly after, as well. “I am beyond honored to receive Steve’s endorse-
ment,” Cruz said. “Steve is a tremendous leader in the House and one of the few truly principled men and women in Washington. “He is a courageous conservative who stands up for our values and refuses to back down. His support comes at a fantastic time for our campaign as we are seeing people in Iowa and across the country signing up, volunteering, contributing, and joining our campaign to reignite the promise of America. “I can’t thank Steve enough and know that his help gives us a significant advantage as we continue to grow and have success in Iowa and across the nation.”
Statue vandalized By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com
The ISU Police Department is investigating a report that a campus statue depicting a prominent, African-American ISU alumnus has been vandalized. The George Washington Carver statue outside of Carver Hall was vandalized with shaving cream, which authorities believe took place Friday afternoon. According to a statement released over email
from President Steven Leath on Sunday, the motive is not yet known. “The university takes this act of vandalism very seriously and is conducting a thorough investigation to determine if this was racially motivated,” Leath said in the email. “Anyone involved will be held accountable.” The extent of the damage, if any, is unknown, according to the statement. Annette Hacker of ISU news service said Lynette Pullman, director of Uni-
versity Museums, examined the statue Monday. Shaving cream, she said, is a corrosive material, but the statue cannot be more thoroughly examined until weather permits. Carver was Iowa State’s first African-American student who came to the university in 1891 and went on to become a well-known agriculturalist. Anyone with any information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact ISU Police at 515294-4428.
Governor orders halt By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com
Monday. Branstad’s decision is a reversal from what he told reporters earlier Monday, when he said he did not know if Iowa had the power to block refugees, as the federal government handles the program. Before his reversal, Ben Hammes, a spokesperson for Branstad, said Monday morning in an email statement that the governor shared the concerns of other governors, but was just requesting the federal government to be “open and transparent” with any refugees brought to the state. Branstad’s order Monday tells all state agencies to halt any work on Syrian refugee resettlements in the state.
An individual reported the theft of a debit card at the Memorial Union (reported at 10:08 a.m.).. The incident occurred on 11/12/15.
Wilson Reynolds, 20, of 110 South Wilmoth Avenue, Ames, was cited for underage possession of alcohol at Lot G3 (reported at 2:47 p.m.).
Victoria Freeman, 19, of 233 Gray Avenue, Ames, was cited for underage possession of alcohol at Lot G3 (reported at 11:20 a.m.).
Leo Glueckstein, 18, of 7328 Wallace Hall, Ames, was arrested and charged with public intoxication and unlawful use of a license at Jack Trice Stadium (reported at 2:41 p.m.).
Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad ordered all state agencies Monday to halt any work on Syrian refugee resettlements in the state in “order to ensure the security and safety of Iowans.” The decision comes after terrorist attacks in Paris that killed more than 120 people and injured hundreds of others. “We have welcomed refugees from around the world into Iowa,” Branstad said in a statement. “We must continue to have compassion for others but we must also maintain the safety of Iowans and the security of our state.

Candidates take different directions O’Malley focuses on gun safety By Rakiah.Bonjour @iowastatedaily.com As mass shootings attract more media coverage, 2016 presidential campaigns have begun making gun control legislation, or lack thereof, a central focus. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, a Democratic presidential candidate, has done just that, proposing tough restrictions on gun sales and telling the stories of victims as families travel with him on the campaign trail. His plan features some ideas stricter than his Democratic opponents such as fingerprint identification, an age requirement of 21 years to purchase a gun, revoking gun licenses when a law has been broken by the holder, expanding background checks and more. O’Malley’s reform is more similar to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s, but varies entirely from Sen. Bernie Sanders’, I-Vt., as Sanders believes gun legislation should fall on the states. Whether the Second Amendment should be upheld through federal legislation or state legislation has been an ongoing discussion, something that K Lee Van Brocklin, academic adviser in business, says is more of a political argument than legal argument. “It’s a political position statement,” Van Brocklin said. “[O’Malley’s] got to position himself with his base and, as with anyone in both parties, they’re going to say what they know appeals and provide as few details as they can.” Mack Shelley, professor of political science, said people interpret the Second Amendment clause, “a well regulated militia being necessary to,” differently. She also said whether it’s literal or figurative, the right to bear arms is still a little cloudy. “Just taking that very literally, that implies that the whole point originally was to provide for citizens who could mobilize with guns to fight off another British invasion basically, which wasn’t hypothetical back then at all,” Shelley said. “The hope was that there would be a citizen militia that could protect

Bobby Jindal turns to Iowa to gain ground By Morgan.Swearinger @iowastatedaily.com Katy Klopfenstein/Iowa State Daily
Martin O’Malley speaks at the Central Iowa Democrats Fall Barbecue on Sunday. O’Malley has made gun safety a central focus of his campaign and has proposed tough restrictions on gun sales.
the country if necessary and that, from a historical perspective, that’s where the Second Amendment came from. It didn’t really have anything to do with your right to own a gun and shooting whoever you damn well please.” However, since the amendment lays out the militia specifically and not individual gun ownership rights, Van Brocklin said the powers should go to the states. “Powers not enumerated are reserved for the states, so the Second Amendment being the business of the [federal] government being created, well [the founders] only addressed the militia issue and said we’re not going to infringe,” Van Brocklin said. O’Malley believes this right should be upheld federally. Conversely, Van Brocklin thinks local governments need to be held accountable, too. “There is a problem with local government, and this is where the federal government ought to be supporting and partnering to address gun crime instead of writing new laws that symbolically accomplish something but really infringe law abiding people,” Van Brocklin said. “Yes, there’s a role for the federal government. I think it has more to do with supporting local governments and state governments in their efforts.” The debate over who should be allowed to interpret the law is ongoing, along with the debate on whether citizens even need guns. “If you live in a sub-
urb or central city, you don’t necessarily need to have a gun for self-protection, or to ward off attacks from bears or shoot a deer if you’re hungry and want venison,” Shelley said. “So, as far as is there a dire need for people these days to carry guns around with them? I don’t really think so, but I think it has a lot to do with self-perception. People feel good about themselves when they can exercise that sort of dominance.” Shelley said that just because there may or may not be a need for guns anymore doesn’t mean people don’t want them any less. Police and armed forces carry guns and tend to make people feel protected, which is what most people are going for when they own a firearm themselves. O’Malley’s plan promises to expand background checks and looks to keep people with mental health issues away from firearms, but Van Brocklin says mental health can be a tricky subject to define. “If you are not right in the head you shouldn’t have a gun in your hand, and I can’t think of anybody that would disagree with that statement, but who defines not right in the head,” Van Brocklin said. O’Malley has launched what he calls an “Actions Not Words” campaign while he travels around the country. He can use gun control to stick out from other candidates on both sides. “It’ll definitely restrict some gun [rights], but not as much as people may
think,” said state Sen. Kevin Kinney, D-Oxford, who has endorsed O’Malley. “I don’t totally agree with it myself, but there are other aspects to his campaign I really do like.” Some supporters think O’Malley’s strict plan follows well from his time in Maryland, and goes along with O’Malley’s “actions not words” slogan. “He’s gaining ground every day as more people look at his well-drawn-out plans,” said state Sen. Rich Taylor, D-Mount Pleasant, who has also endorsed O’Malley. “It seems like everyone else has ideas but not plans across the board, he’s done a lot of this in Maryland and made it work in a bipartisan matter.” Shelley said O’Malley’s time in Maryland succeeded in solving some gun-related issues; however, it could be hard to implement nationwide. “In Baltimore — where he was mayor — it kind of worked. It was really a dire necessity given the murder rates,” Shelley said. “O’Malley’s plan is something that, if you’re relatively speaking, a hardcore progressive and firmly committed to gun control and reducing violence, and not worrying too much about the consequences politically. It’s about as close to perfect as you’re going to get.” Van Brocklin suggests before O’Malley begins mandating any federal legislation to take a close look at what the people are truly concerned about and

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s presidential campaign shows evidence of a surge in popularity after a recent poll placed him at six percent in Iowa. According to the NBC/ Marist poll, Jindal has risen two points over the last month in Iowa. He is also tied with U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz for favorability ratings. In an interview with the Daily Friday, Jindal said his Iowa strategy of visiting all 99 counties would “pay off.” In the 2012 election, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who is running again in 2016 received a surge in polling just a week prior to the Iowa caucuses after support for Newt Gingrich faded. Santorum jumped to third place, and, until that moment, he was very underestimated in the race. In the Iowa caucus, Santorum won by 34 votes. Jindal is now banking on emulating Santorum’s success in 2012. “Gov. Jindal is certainly using the same tactics and Santorum,” said Kelly Shaw, professor in political science. “Early in the 2012 campaign, Santorum would hold town meetings with a handful of citizens curious in his candidacy, and Jindal is doing the same thing.” Shaw also pointed out that Jindal isn’t as successful with the use of intimate settings as Santorum due to fellow competitors that are using the same tactic, and the fact that he is less appealing to evangelicalswho were supporters of Santorum in 2012. “We know that Evangelicals vote in Iowa and engage in the caucus process, and I’ve not seen anything
to suggest that the evangelical vote is ready to endorse Jindal over their two previous candidates,” Shaw said. Jindal’s rise in Iowa comes after months of campaigning without much attention. The two-term Louisiana governor who will leave office early next year has been stuck at one or two percent in most national polls. His rise is most likely due to the exposure he has through his expensive campaign, Shaw said. Jindal is continuing the use of his retail politics approach, while still attempting to fully establish his brand in Iowa. It is essential for Jindal to do well in Iowa to move forward with his campaign financially, Shaw said. “I don’t expect him to deviate from this strategy, but his organization [and cash] will have to sustain his campaign through some difficult times,” Shaw said. “Getting his word out is key, but it remains to be seen if his campaign can survive in this expensive competition we call the Iowa caucuses.” Steffen Schmidt, professor in political science, stated he thinks Jindal will continue to struggle. Schmidt pointed to an interview that fellow an adviser to fellow Republican candidate Chris Christie did with Yahoo! news following last weeks Republican debate. Jindal repeatedly called on Christie throughout the debate for his record as governor of New Jersey. Christie’s strategist, Michael DuHaime, said Christie’s team “anticipated” attacks from a “desperate Jindal.” Jindal told the Daily that he wants to have a “real debate,” and that the attacks were not personal; it is really about who will cut the size of government if elected. Jindal will continue to campaign in Iowa, including a stop in Ames on Thursday for a town hall meeting at 11:30 a.m. in the Memorial Union.
Lecturer criticizes capitalism, shares the cure By Shannon.McCarty @iowastatedaily.com Richard Wolff’s answer for curing capitalism is more democracy. The economic emeritus professor at the University of Massachusetts has been a longtime critic of capitalism and has produced numerous literature on his criticism, including his latest book titled “Democracy at Work: A Cure for Capitalism.” Wolff hosts a weekly
syndicated radio show titled “Economic Update” and has appeared on shows such as “Real Time with Bill Maher.” “We are now going through the second collapse of modern capitalism,” Wolff said to ISU students. Wolff spoke in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union on Monday night about the economic issues the United States has, and ways to change and prevent them. “If you lived with a roommate as unstable as
this system you would’ve moved out a long time ago,” Wolff said. Wolff said the United States has now reached the new landmark of the richest 1 percent owning half of the wealth. “This is a system that keeps producing inequality in our society,” Wolff said. Wolff told students they are the first generation in American history to face today’s bachelor’s degree being invaluable in obtaining a career. “We are no better at
preventing economic crises,” Wolff said. The economics professor said during the depression, people did not wait for a resolution, they fought for one. “Millions of Americans joined labor unions,” Wolff said. Roosevelt knew where the money was and he went to the wealthy and corporate leaders in order to help the poor, creating social security, unemployment help

Stadium View Suites to be available for students in 2016 By Kelsey.Palmros @iowastatedaily.com Haverkamp Properties is replacing Riverside Manor with five buildings dedicated to student housing. Haverkamp applied for permits beginning in 2014 and has now begun construction. The business had to go
through a process in order to obtain its building permits. It was required to submit a site plan that fit with the city’s planning department. “On the site plan, they had to provide all the parking, they had to provide outdoor lighting information, a landscape plan and indicate sidewalks,” said department planner Charlie Kuester. “They submitted a site
plan, we reviewed [and] it met all of our development requirements,” Kuester said. The project was originally only going to consist of two buildings. “It kind of morphed, it was initially going to be a two-building project that would have kept Riverside Manor and allowed two other buildings to be built,” Kuester said.
Haverkamp Properties had to get approval from city staff and Ames residents before it could begin construction after its decision to buy out the entire property. “They ended up buying out the entire property and now it is a five-building project,” Kuester said. Residents didn’t find any great threat, so Riverside Manor relocated residents,
and building began. Because the location does fall in the flood way, further requirements were necessary for building permits as well. “Part of development is in the flood way, and that is limited to essentially the parking lot,” Kuester said. Haverkamp Properties designed two-, three- and four-bedroom units. There
will be access to outdoor fire pits, and furnished units will be available. The construction is scheduled to be completed in fall 2016. “I know lots of people that are having problems finding places that are nice and affordable, so I think that any new housing is good,” said Keaton Lane, freshman in journalism.

MIZZOU p1 ger strike; almost an entire football team’s refusal to play; and national media attention. Wolfe and Loftin both announced they would step down from their positions Nov. 9. And the support grew from some ISU students. “[Butler’s] life didn’t matter,” one ISU student said at the ISU Supports Mizzou protest. “Like it or not, it didn’t matter. What mattered was when the football team said, ‘You know what? We’re not going to play this game.’ We know when it comes to effecting change, the only color that makes a difference is green.” In an attempt to centralize the issues at hand to Iowa State, students rallied in Beardshear Hall to stand in solidarity with Mizzou. Holding signs that stated phrases such as “Black lives matter” and “#Solidarity,” protesters listened to what their classmates and professors had to say, occasionally erupting in chants and applause. Daria Hicks, freshman in electrical engineering, was the first to speak. Hicks began the first chant, “ISU supports Mizzou.” The next speaker asked the members of the crowd to raise their hands if they had been the victim of racism, and dozens of hands were raised into the air. Thoughts returned to an incident earlier this fall when Jovani Rubio, who was present at the protest, had his sign ripped while he was protesting at the Cy-Hawk tailgate in September, an event that spurred a more widespread university discussion about racism on campus. Even more recently, a statue of George Washington Carver was vandalized. Portions of the statue were found to have been covered in shaving cream Friday. Similar to the situation at Mizzou, students stated their frustration with the administration’s efforts. “[The university] continues to live on an approximately 120-year-old legacy of their first African American student,” Maurice Washington, graduate student in agricultural and biosystems engineering, said of the statue’s inspiration, ISU alumnus George Washington Carver. “What else have they done? What else are they doing?” Washington called for a system to be put in place that would allow students

to report racial adversity. Another chant, “No justice, no peace,” followed Washington’s speech. The absence of ISU President Steven Leath, who is currently out of town at an Association of Public and Land-grant Universities conference, also upset the crowd. “It’s a shame they can’t come out here or even post about it,” one student said in response. “Where’s our support?” Leath released the following statement via email Monday night: “[The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities] meets jointly with the University Innovation Alliance, [of] which we are a member, that was formed to develop methods to assist under achieving students be more successful in college. These are very important meetings for ISU. “The issue the students presented today is also important to me and I am happy to meet with them if they will coordinate with me. I work seven days a week, most weeks, on behalf of ISU and keep a very full schedule. I am very accessible but they can not expect me to be in my office if they do not coordinate with me.” Protesters also noted the absence of Student Government President Dan Breitbarth, who, too, was out of town at the time of the protest. Breitbarth said he wasn’t informed of the protest until about 3 p.m. Monday, at which point he was already out of Ames. He also said at least six members of Student Government were present. “I wish I could have been there,” Breitbarth said Monday night. “I understand if you’re upset with me that I wasn’t there,

but we did have members there. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, I would encourage students to reach out and come talk to me. I have an open-door policy.” “They should be ashamed,” a student in the crowd said. “Who gave them the right for us to respect them when they can’t respect us?” His statements were followed by chants of “Leath must go.” The following speaker cited the pain he saw on the faces in the crowd, which filled the entrance and overflowed to the following floor. He urged all students of color to come together and make a statement. After his speech, the crowd burst into another chant, “We will fight for our rights.” Maria Alcivar, graduate student in human development and family studies, spoke up about the Cy-Hawk tailgate incident and the following forum with administration. At the forum, demands were made for more diverse faculty, for the Black Student Cultural Center to be improved and staffed, and for a Latino Cultural Center. “We may not get [our demands], we may not, and that might be something that we work [toward] for many years, but at least we need to get our voices heard,” Alcivar said. “We can’t keep waiting. It’s just a fact.” As Alcivar spoke, a petition for mandatory diversity and inclusion train-
ing was passed around the crowd. Faculty was given the chance to speak, with one coming forward, who chose not to be named. The faculty member spoke about her frustration with the statue vandalization and the failure of the university to recognize it as racially motivated. “ISU is Mizzou,” the faculty member repeated many times, which later became another chant within the crowd. Concerns and anger with the social media application Yik Yak were raised when a yak was posted during the event stating, “ISU doesn’t support Mizzou.” Dean of Students Pamela Anthony said she’d like to hear more from the students about their personal experiences. “What I’d like to do is hear more from students and take this information that we’ve heard today, but also take this information that we’ve heard from [Latinos United for Change] and make sure that we are building a program that will meet the needs of all of Iowa State,” Anthony said. In an earlier interview with The Iowa State Daily, Tom Hill, senior vice president for Student Affairs, said he and other campus leaders hope to meet with students from Latinos United for a Change before the end of the fall semester to further discuss suggestions the group provided the university after the open forum in September.

War is not the answer to ISIS

Columnist Carstens believes that people who will vote for a presidential candidate such as Hillary Clinton, Carly Fiorina or Ben Carson solely to break gender or race stereotypes should reconsider and support someone based on their ideas.
Playing the wrong card Gender, race should be replaced with values in presidential election By Courtney.Carstens @iowastatedaily.com
R
ace and gender have always played a big role in society, but how much of a role should it play in a person’s vote when the 2016 presidential election rolls around? It shouldn’t take any significant part in a constituent’s vote, but the more I continue to speak to people about the race, the more I am concerned about how the next president may be Hillary Clinton, Carly Fiorina or Ben Carson because of their race and/or gender and not their credibility. While some may argue that a candidate’s gender or race does not affect a voter’s attitude toward the individual, there are studies that prove these factors do have an impact. When a female candidate runs for any office, people judge her on how she looks and are more likely to ask her about her family, but you won’t really see this happening with men. You see people commenting on what Fiorina or Clinton wore to a debate, but you hardly see them worrying about what tie Donald Trump is wearing. This same idea of judgment based
on gender is even exchanged between candidates, demonstrated most recently when Trump called out Fiorina for her physical appearance. With the Black Lives Matter campaign that is taking the country — and campuses — by storm, I could easily see more individuals voting for Carson. Carson should get the votes of people who honestly believe in his ideas and beliefs, not because of the ongoing racial tension in America. Humans have the basic instinct to instantly assume things about certain types of people simply based on looking at a person’s face, although no one likes to admit it. In high school, for example, we used to use stereotypes for people all the time, and that’s where cliques came from. The jocks were all players, the geeks and nerds were all brainiacs and the goths were all deemed mentally unstable. As we’ve grown, we’ve also learned that associating certain types of people with certain behaviors or actions is wrong, but we still do it. These habits of making automatic assumptions about groups of people are factors whenever we make any sort of decision, but we need to at least be conscious of it while debating who to vote for, especially with the wide range of different characters we see fighting for the presidency. Just last week, I was discussing the presidential race with some friends, and I discovered two alarming things.
One was that the people I’m friends with are liberals, which made me the outcast during this particular discussion, and second was that some of my fellow voters believe that voting for Clinton would create a legacy for the next generation because we are breaking the stereotype of white male Protestants being president. Frankly, I was appalled by this. We should not vote for someone based on gender or race but on their core values and ideas. Personally I am a Carson supporter all the way, and when I tell people this, they immediately say something that makes it sound like I’m voting for him because he is AfricanAmerican. This is not true, and I get upset when individuals make those kind of assumptions. I like Carson because he seems to be a candidate who knows what he wants to accomplish, has an attitude that he is truly going to accomplish it but, most importantly, his ideas align with mine. The gender and race cards should not be played during elections. When I think of either being used heavily in politics, I hear Hillary Clinton’s voice in the back of my head saying, “If equal pay for equal work is playing the ‘gender card,’ then deal me in.” A person’s gender or race does not define him or her. It plays a part in who they are, but candidates shouldn’t let either impact their choices and neither should we as voters.
Heart defect research deserves funding By Haley.Brase @iowastatedaily.com Crocheting or knitting red hats for newborns and participating in walks is how the American Heart Association is calling attention to congenital heart defects, but what has been done is not enough. Little Hats, Big Hearts started February 2014 in Chicago, where 300 hats were collected to be given to infants battling congenital heart defects, but the idea has spread and is now being promoted in 33 states, according to the American Heart Association. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 40,000 babies in the United States are born with a congenital heart defect every year. A congenital heart defect is the result of the heart or blood vessels near the heart developing abnormally during the ges-
tation period, according to the American Heart Association. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute reports that defects include the interior walls of the heart, the valves inside the heart and the arteries and veins that carry the blood to the heart or body. In their first year of life, 25 percent of babies diagnosed with congenital heart defects could be subjected to a number of life-sustaining surgeries, which is a significant amount of trauma to put a small body through. Reported by the CDC, the total number of hospital costs in 2011 for those dealing with treatment and recovery as a result of congenital heart defects was $1.8 million. The families of the patients have enough stress on them without trying to figure out how they are going to pay for their loved one’s treatment. In 2015, the Congenital Heart Walk had more than
50,000 participants in 25 cities across the nation to show their support and reach the goal of raising money to cover research and patient programs. Since 2006, the fund-raising walk has garnered more than $6 million to help cover medical expenses for families, according to the Congenital Heart Walk National Office. Though all of this progress is moving us a step closer to preventing any loss of life because of congenital heart defects, there is still more work to be done. Between 1994 and 2005, 83 percent of infants with a congenital heart defect survived past their first year, compared to the 67 percent of infants who did not between 1979 and 1993, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The percentage of length of life is increasing, but what about the other 17 percent who were not lucky enough to live until their first birthday?
The effects of congenital heart defects also extend past infants. In the United States, more than one million adults are living with congenital heart defects, and they have to pay attention to certain aspects of their day-to-day life. Things such as the type of birth control they take, what to do during a pregnancy, health insurance and employment are all affected, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Organizations such as Little Hats, Big Hearts and the Congenital Heart Walk are doing their part to spread the message of the severity of congenital heart defects in infants and adults, but these numbers show that it is still not enough. Contributing to organizations like these is necessary to help put a stop to deaths and treatment families pay for as a result of congenital heart defects.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Gun-free zones don’t protect from violence By Andrew Grant Senior in business economics Recent attacks throughout the United States and the world have reignited the talk about gun-free zones here in our country. What are gun-free zones? Gun-free zones are areas established by law that no person, even though they may possess valid training and a license, may carry a weapon for defense of
self and others. Seems like a good idea to not have people toting weapons everywhere, right? Truth be told, this basic and simple solution will not work. There is one basic fact we must observe here: Criminals are criminals for a reason. They break laws. A simple sign or a written code will not keep a criminal from bringing a weapon on campus if they desire, but this sign will stop law-abiding citizens from doing so, leaving them and those
When Paris was attacked by terrorists Friday evening, France was faced with a daunting task — deciding how to respond to ISIS. All the while, the United States had to decide how it would help its oldest ally in its time of need and to what degree its military would be involved in the fight against ISIS. On Friday night, Paris experienced simultaneous terrorist attacks, both bombings and mass shootings, all claimed by ISIS. The terrorist group killed at least 129 people and wounded hundreds of others, most occurring as four men shot AK-47s during American rock band Eagles of Death Metal’s concert in the Bataclan, which is one of the city’s most popular music venues. President Obama said in a statement late Friday night that “We stand prepared and ready to provide whatever assistance that the government and the people of France need to respond.” He went on to say, “We’re going to do whatever it takes to work with the French people and with nations around the world to bring these terrorists to justice, and to go after any terrorist networks that go after our people.” While Obama’s statement came before officials were absolutely sure that ISIS was the terrorist organization behind the Paris attacks, he did promise that our country would stand with our ally. However, to what degree should the United States respond to this? While it may seem reassuring to the American people and maybe even French people and others targeted by ISIS, is declaring war or taking invasive military action like deploying thousands of troops on the ground in Syria — part of ISIS’ stronghold — the best way to put an end to this terrorist group? The United States and France are just two countries that were already participating in airstrikes against ISIS. In response to the attacks Friday, France launched another strike against Syria Sunday. The French president, François Hollande, said the country would be “merciless” in responding to this “act of war” and would no longer be concerned about respecting a border between Iraq and Syria, according to a New York Times article. Additionally, on Monday ISIS released a video saying that those countries participating in the airstrikes will suffer in similar ways to France, even saying the group will attack Washington D.C., according to an article by Reuters. As an immediate response, the U.S. military and intelligence teams gave France information to help the country identify ISIS targets to bomb in Syria, according to The New York Times article. The article went on to explain that any future long-term moves in the fight against ISIS are not immediately clear for the United States. However, a security adviser, Benjamin J. Rhodes, said that more U.S. troops on the ground in the Middle East is simply not the answer, according to the article. The article said the president “is looking to do more of what he has already been doing and to do it better.” The possibilities, they said, include more air strikes, Special Operations raids, assistance to local allies and attacks against Islamic State targets outside Syria and Iraq. Put simply, the United States has spent enough time in war in recent years. While it may feel reassuring to go to war for the time being, a reactionary approach to the terrorist attacks such as simply going to war is not the answer to the problem of ISIS. Fighting a terrorist organization, whose goal is to spread fear, is more complicated than traditional warfare. Putting combat troops in ISIS’ strongholds doesn’t seem to be the most logical way to prevent the spread of fear and random terrorist attacks. Taking a more strategic approach, like the airstrikes might be a more reasonable approach, at least for now, to taking on ISIS.
around them vulnerable for attack. When analyzed, so many of the most deadly and recent attacks took place in gun-free zones, and this fact cannot be ignored. The recent attacks in Paris were in essentially a gunfree country. Virginia Tech was also a gun-free zone. Here is the bitter truth: All but two of the mass shootings in the United States since 1950 have been in gun-free zones. Columbine, Newtown, Aurora theater, all
gun-free zones. So this is Iowa, it can’t happen here, right? In 1991, the University of Iowa had a shooting that left five people dead. Guess what? It was a gunfree zone. Ending gun-free zones will certainly not end all attacks and innocent victims from being killed, but, for me, if it just saved one life out of the 217 innocent lives taken in the attacks previously listed, it would be well worth it. I’m certain, however, it would have saved more.

McKay, ISU slam home win By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com Jameel McKay was playing a different game than everyone else in the Cyclones’ men’s basketball home opener — one that took place almost exclusively above the rim. McKay racked up the dunks and No. 7 Iowa State (2-0. 0-0 Big 12) racked up the points, blowing past Chicago State (1-1, 0-0 WAC) by a score of 106-64. McKay was on the receiving end of a parade of lobs, finishing with a careerhigh 25 points. The senior put up big numbers in an ultra-efficient manner, as he converted on 12 of his 15 field goal attempts. “I mean, I was open,” McKay said. “I just try every game to be the best player in the country.” The reason for such an efficient performance — McKay threw down a jawdropping nine dunks in the winning effort. “I just try to feed off my teammates,” McKay said. “They always get me the ball if I get open.” The ISU offense was rolling as Chicago State attempted to keep up with Iowa State’s offensive pace. The Cougars even pushed the pace at times, applying full-court pressure against the Cyclones, which often led to McKay slamming the ball home on the other end.
“He changed shots around the rim, he finished around the basket and he was a presence all night,” said ISU coach Steve Prohm. “He played with great energy for the 27 minutes he was out there. He was terrific. That’s the best I’ve seen him play.” After scoring 137 points in its first game, Chicago State tried to maintain an up-tempo offensive scheme, but scoring on Iowa State proved to be much more difficult than on Division III Illinois Tech — Chicago State’s opponent in its season opener. While McKay stole the headlines with dunk after dunk after dunk, his frontcourt partner-in-crime came alive in the second half, as the ISU big men took over the spotlight. Abdel Nader had a quiet seven points and six rebounds in the first half, before going on an 8-0 run by himself to start the second. After watching his fellow big man take over in the beginning of the half, McKay got back in on the action with his seventh dunk of the evening. It was more of the same from that point on. McKay ended the game with 25 points and 11 rebounds, while Nader came up just shy of recording his own double-double, finishing with 17 points and nine boards.
ISU post-players The ISU frontcourt led the way as the Cyclones ran past Chicago State 106-64 in the team’s home opener to improve to 2-0 on the season. Jameel McKay starred as he put up a career-high 25 points and pulled down 11 rebounds. The senior was highly efficient, converting on 12 of his 15 field goal attempts. Abdel Nader played McKay’s sidekick with 17 points and nine rebounds. He was also efficient, scoring on six of his eight field goal attempts. Georges Niang, who usually stars for the Cyclones, took a backseat in the scoring department, as he scored 11 points. Instead, Niang played the point-forward role, dishing out eight assists in a winning effort.

While the two big men showcased their offensive prowess and athletic abilities, point guard Monté Morris routinely put them in position to score, racking
up eight assists on the night in addition to his 14 points. Fellow big man Georges Niang played the point-forward role to perfection as he dished out eight assists, tak-
ing a back seat in the scoring department with 11 points. “It’s a lot less pressure on my shoulders,” Niang said. “The thing about Jameel is that he brings a ton
Cyclones shift motivation By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com The next two games for the ISU football team hold little weight in terms of fighting for a bowl game, but that doesn’t mean they don’t matter to the players. The Cyclones fell just short of an upset against undefeated, No. 5 Oklahoma State Saturday, which would have been the second such upset in the last five years. Iowa State led for much of the game before falling 35-31 in the closing minutes. It wasn’t only the upset that slipped from Iowa State’s grasp in this season’s final game at Jack Trice Stadium, but also any real chance at postseason play — although it is theoretically possible the Cyclones could end up in a bowl game if they finished the year with a 5-7 record. While the team is setting its sights on winning the last two games of the season, the loss to the Cowboys still lingered two days later. “We had a chance to shock the college football world again,” said defensive end J.D. Waggoner. “We played a great game. That’s
the one thing that kills me.” Monday was a new day for Iowa State, though, as it tried to push aside the thoughts of Saturday’s defeat. The ability to do that, or lack there of, will largely dictate the team’s ability to focus on its final two regularseason matchups. ISU coach Paul Rhoads said it’s one of the hardest things for a head coach to do — keeping a college football team motivated when there is no postseason to play for. But that’s exactly what Rhoads and the rest of the coaching staff are trying to combat while they make sure to set different goals for the remainder of the season. The Cyclones currently sit with two wins in the Big 12 in 2015. If Iowa State wins its final two games of the season, it would mark the most conference wins for Iowa State since 2005 and the second most in program history. That’s what Rhoads will try to get his players to latch onto. “It’s a challenge every week to motivate 18, 19, 20-year-old kids,” Rhoads said. “[Whether we] win, lose, [we are] playing for a championship, playing for a bowl, playing for victory

ISU head coach Paul Rhoads argues a call with officials during the third quarter of Iowa State’s game against Oklahoma State at Jack Trice Stadium on Saturday. The Cyclones lost the game, 35-31.
number three, it’s a challenge every week. That’s part of the responsibility.” The players didn’t seem to care much about those records, though. They focused on playing for the man next to them. None of the 17 graduating seniors have won more than three conference games in a season. “[We’re trying to] finish strong for the seniors right now,” said quarterback Joel Lanning. “You’ve got to keep fighting for the seniors and send them out right.”
The team isn’t completely ruling out a bowl game, though. Some experts in college football have said it is possible there could be some fivewin bowl teams. It is a slim chance, but it’s a chance that Iowa State can still play for. “I would say the bowl game isn’t completely out of the picture,” said kicker Cole Netten, who has recently regained his confidence kicking field goals. “It’s obviously a slim chance, but it’s something we all internally know.”
Waggoner believes Iowa State’s current record, 3-7, doesn’t accurately reflect the level of talent on the team. That may ring true to some extent as the Cyclones let at least a couple of wins slip from their grasp. But these last two games could serve as a tool for the team to prove its worth. “[Two wins are] something that we’re aiming for as a team,” Netten said. “I think these next two games will show us what we’re made of as a team and how close we really were this year.”
of energy every game. He runs the floor better than any big man I’ve ever seen. We just feed off his energy.” As the dunk fest came to a close, Prohm emptied his bench in his first regular season home game. All 11 Cyclones who were suited up got into the game to close out the win as the Cyclones moved to 2-0 on the season.
Demond Tucker wins Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week ISU nose guard Demond Tucker won his first Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week award in his career on Monday. Tucker, a redshirt junior, tallied four sacks and two tackles for loss with eight total tackles in Saturday’s 35-31 loss to Oklahoma State. While still a bit raw, Tucker has improved his discipline this season, and it’s paying dividends on the field. “[He spends] more plays past [the opponent’s] line of scrimmage,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads. “He’s getting great push at the line of scrimmage against centers. He’s coming off of blocks — sometimes in disciplined fashion and sometimes in undisciplined fashion.” Tucker expressed his desire to win Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year when he spoke at Media Day before fall camp.
ISU golf club shoots for national championship By Jack.MacDonald @iowastatedaily.com
Courtesy of the ISU Golf Club
A member of the ISU golf club competes at the second regional tournament in Iowa City.
It took 1,554 strokes, but for the second semester in a row, the ISU men’s golf club is headed to the National Collegiate Club Golf Association national championship. The tournament will start Saturday with the first round and conclude Sunday with the second round. After traveling east for the national tournament in the spring, the club will pack its bags and head south to San Antonio, Texas, this time. The team will compete at TPC San Antonio, which has hosted previous PGA Tour events. Thankful to be heading for warmer weather, the club brings an added advantage that many teams don’t: The experience of
playing in poor weather, which is in the forecast for Saturday’s round. “Someone on the team said in the cold, we learn not to mishit the ball because it will hurt,” said senior Matt Dohse, club president. “That teaches us to just focus on our shots and hit the ball good in poor weather.” This time last semester, the club had never been to the NCCGA national tournament but will now attend as a veteran group. Six of the eight golfers traveling south competed at the Spring 2015 national tournament. “Nationals is a different experience with a lot of added pressure,” said senior David Stein. “The bigger atmosphere can be tough to judge if you haven’t been [to nationals] before.” Stein has also competed at nationals on two other

The two national championship veterans will play a key role in helping first-timers Chris Johnson and Carter Rau get acclimated to the atmosphere and stiff competition. Stein and Johnson both played at Minnesota golf powerhouse, Wayzata High School. Stein’s biggest advice, first-timer or not, is to just stick to the normal game plan. Everyone has their own game, whether it’s the long game or short game. They don’t need to emulate anyone else, they just need to play to their strengths. “The experience of the

Pack light for Thanksgiving break By Alisha.Humiston @iowastatedaily.com For students who live more than a few hours away, Thanksgiving break might be the first trek back home in a while. The week-long break allows just enough time to get caught up in school work and reunite with friends from high school. With only a few days before the week off, packing is right around the corner. By now, many students are pros at packing their life’s possessions in a tiny dorm or apartment; therefore, packing for a week should be a breeze, right? Well, it’s easier said than done. Instead of packing an entire wardrobe, students should consider what they’ll be doing during break, and what clothing will be needed to accompany them to ensure that essentials are the only thing in the suitcase. Packing basics Tops: Tops are quite possibly the most substantial items to pack. These should include a couple basic T-shirts, button-ups and sweaters. Be sure to pack tops to wear for family gatherings, casual days and for the occasional hangout with high school buds. Many students will experience chilly weather during the break, so consider packing a sweater or cardigan for layering. Accessories: Accessories provide the easiest way to look more put together. Scarves are easy to pack, but bringing a necklace or two wouldn’t hurt. Add accessories to look as though you spent more time getting ready and to add visual interest and a little more warmth. Pants: There is no need to go over-

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, freshmen face the struggles of packing for break for the first time. It’s important not to pack an entire wardrobe and instead only pack essentials for the week off from classes.
board when packing pants. One staple pair of skinny jeans can work for the week. They’re easily paired with most tops and sweaters. However, for more variety, add a pair of black or patterned jeans. Also, be sure to include a pair of leggings or joggers for the overload of delicious food that is to come. Dresses: It’s not a bad idea to pack a
semi-formal dress. Whether Thanksgiving Day is spent with the entire extended family or hanging with immediate family, it’s fun to have an excuse to dress up. Coats: With break being only a week long, it’s unnecessary to bring home more than one coat. There’s no need to pack a bomber jacket, utility coat and trench coat. Students can get by with their favor-
ite versatile coat or jacket for the five-day excursion. Along with packing clothing, be sure to also use this opportunity to take home any summer clothing that may still be taking up valuable space in your ever-socramped closet. Let’s be honest, students won’t be wearing many crop tops or shorts for a while.
Stitch Fix gives students personal stylist By Jessica.Jensen @iowastatedaily.com As a busy college student, it can be hard to find time to create and maintain a stylish wardrobe. With limited time to go shopping, and the need to dress to impress, an online personal stylist can definitely provide convenience. Stitch Fix is an online personal styling website that allows women to expand their closest in just three easy steps.
The first step is to log on to the Stitch Fix website and create an account. When creating an account, the site asks the customer about their lifestyle and their personal fashion preferences. Stitch Fix also asks what budget to stick to, so they won’t send any items that are over a certain price range. The second step is to wait and receive the shipment. Each shipment contains about five different pieces, which are individually picked for the custom-
er. Cassidy Mace, junior in management, recently received her order from Stitch Fix. “When creating my account, I emphasized my casual lifestyle as a college student, and said that I occasionally wear professional clothes for career fairs and interviews,” Mace said. Mace received a variety of pieces in her shipment. They included a pair of ankle skinny jeans, a black and white striped blouse, a navy velvet blazer, a navy dress and a black and white
cardigan. The third step of the process is to decide which clothing items to keep and which to send back. The great part about Stitch Fix is that customers only have to pay for the items they keep, and it is free to send back the pieces the customer doesn’t like. The total price for all five pieces was about $340, which is way more than Mace’s spending preferences. “I am disappointed that they did not take my budget
more seriously,” Mace said. According to the Stitch Fix website, the average price for the company’s clothing is about $55 per item. Although the prices of the clothing are sometimes steep, Stitch Fix offers a special discount of 25 percent off if the customer buys everything in one order. When customers initially sign up, they are required to pay a $20 styling fee. Once the customers place their final order, they will receive the $20 off their order.

‘Black Thursday’ interrupts workers’ holiday By Ayla.Heder @iowastatedaily.com It’s that time of year again. The buzz is up about which stores will be opening on Thanksgiving Day and what their hours will be for the two-day shopping extravaganza. Ad magazines have begun to pour into households, showcasing the mega savings shoppers may recieve. Well, it’s time to return Black Friday shopping to its rightful place: Friday. During the past couple of years, stores have slowly pushed Black Friday shopping
earlier and earlier, leaving many workers upset. Some major retailers are open as early as 4 p.m. Thanksgiving Day. This provides more time for people to shop, but the longer hours cut short Thanksgiving festivities for thousands of employees who are required to work on Thanksgiving Day. Megan Manteaw, sophomore in pre-business, will work this Thanksgiving Day at a retail store in North Grand Mall. She has been working in retail the past three years at various stores and has worked every single Black Friday. This year, she is required to work on Thanksgiving Day. Luckily,
she got to choose her hours for both Thanksgiving and Black Friday. “It was so hectic, and everyone was running around and getting upset with the workers,” Manteaw said when reflecting on past Black Fridays. Manteaw hopes to be able to come home for an hour or two to spend some time with her family. “I didn’t get to spend any time with my family, and by the time I finally got home, all I wanted to do was sleep,” Manteaw said of past experiences. Manteaw is one of many ISU students who will spend part of their Thanks-
giving Day working in the retail industry. Many stores have not yet revealed their hours for this year’s Black Friday event, and there is controversy about which stores will be open on Thanksgiving Day. Nordstrom, Costco, Van Maur, TJ Maxx and Barnes and Noble are among the stores that plan to remain closed throughout Thanksgiving Day. Employees around the country are protesting working on Thanksgiving Day. Stores that will opening on Thanksgiving Day include major retailers such as Walmart, Target, Macy’s, Old Navy and a few others.
There is a Facebook page dedicated to the controversy titled “Boycott Shopping on Thanksgiving Day.” The about section states, “Stop retailers from opening on Thanksgiving Day, plucking employees form their Thanksgiving Celebration.” The page has more than 12,000 likes. There have also been several petitions on Change.org to urge certain retailers to keep their doors closed on Thanksgiving. Whether choosing to shop on Thanksgiving, remember that employees are cutting their Thanksgiving Day celebrations short to serve the nation’s obsession
with shopping. Lines will be long regardless the time shoppers hit the stores, but try to remain patient and appreciate the people spending their holiday working. Danielle Retallick, junior in kinesiology and health, will shop on Black Friday this year with her boyfriend and his dad. “I like to people watch, so that’s the fun part for me about any holiday shopping,” Retallick said. “I think that stores can do what they want and make money how they want, but I don’t think that employees should be forced to work on holidays — it should definitely be optional.”
Faces in the crowd: Dressing up (or down) for class By Camila.Cervantes @iowastatedaily.com Many students prefer to dress up for classes, while others dress for comfort. The way students dress may enhance their mood for the day or tell how they feel. We asked students around campus two simple questions: Do you prefer to dress up or down for class, and why? and What generates your preferences? The faces in the crowd include Hairong Li, freshman in statistics; Clark Colby, graduate student in architecture; Anna Hubbard, sophomore in apparel, merchandising and design; Suryatej Akavaram, junior in chemical engineering; and Allie Odor, junior in agricultural systems technology.
Hairong Li “If there is an outfit that I like I would use that but if I don’t want to dress like this I would go for casual clothes. On special occasions I dress for that and on weekends too.”
Clark Colby “I usually try to dress more practically. I dress from either going to work or working at home, and then whatever I am wearing there is what I wear on campus. Usually what I am doing created my preference.”
Anna Hubbard “I prefer to dress up because I like maintaining a good image of myself and I don’t feel as productive when I am wearing sweats or loungewear.”
Suryatej Akavaram “It depends on the way I am feeling in the morning. If I am not lazy I dress up ... [but] normally down. My preferences depend on the weather. I guess it is just random.”
Alllie Oder “I’d say I dress down usually because I put on whatever is more comfortable. My preferences are generated whether if I have an exam I’d rather be comfortable.”

The first tournament was at The Wilds Golf Club in Prior Lake, Minn., and was followed by the second tournament at Finkbine Golf Course in Iowa City. In Prior Lake, the club was able to swipe the team and individual titles. The club shot a total of 773 over
two rounds, and Stein shot a 5-over 149 to snag the individual title. Iowa and Minnesota finished second and third with 788 and 811 totals, respectively. From the start, Iowa controlled the second regional. In Iowa City, Iowa State shot a team total of 781, while Iowa bested it with a score of 777. Stein finished in second with a 9-over 151, which was one stroke behind the first-place finisher, Zach Skopec of Iowa. Then it turned interesting. With Iowa State and Iowa each winning a regional, they both sat atop the region leaderboard with nine points, which kicked in the tiebreaker.

With the impressive showing at regionals, Iowa State’s best chance at an individual title lies in the hands of Stein.

As a team, the club believes it can sneak into the top 15 after finishing 20th last year. “Now that we have been here before, we are Courtesy of the ISU Golf Club competing for a national The ISU golf club takes a photo together after winning the first regional tournament in Prior Lake, Minn. championship,” Stein said.
