ISU President Steven Leath addresses the Student Government on Oct. 5.

Regents will audit Leath’s travel with weapons

By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State has asked the Board of Regents to expand its internal audit of President Steven Leath’s use of university-owned aircraft, including whether Leath violated the university’s firearms and weapons policy, a school spokesperson said Wednesday.

The board is already conducting a comprehensive audit of ISU’s Flight Service, including Leath’s mixed use of school-owned planes for personal and business use.

Megan Landolt, a communications assistant to President Leath, said that as new questions have been asked, the school has asked to the board to look at areas of concern.

Leath and the school have maintained that several trips using school aircraft have included hunting outings with potential school donors.

Iowa State’s weapons policy prohibits “the unauthorized transportation, use or storage of any firearms, weapons and/or explosives,” but does allow for a request to be submitted to allow for the transportation of weapons. The request is submitted in writing and approved by either The Office of Risk Management or The Department of Public Safety.

The questions about transportation of weapons have been raised by the Iowa-based blogger Bleeding Heartland. The blog said it submitted an open records request to Iowa State on the subject, including requests by Leath and any passengers to transport weapons, but Iowa State said it had no such records earlier in November.

The Daily asked The Office of the President if Leath transported any weapons, including firearms for hunting, and if so, whether or not Leath followed the correct ISU policy to get permission to do so.

Landolt said the school would not comment until the audit findings are reported, because it may “jeopardize the integrity of the audit.”

Leath’s hunting outings have been highlighted in news reports during an ongoing look into his use of university-owned aircraft. In one report by the Associated Press, school records on the aircraft show that Leath flew for donor meetings that included hunting trips, including with Bill Dougherty, who Leath called his “best friend” and “hunting buddy;” Pete Brownell, an NRA board member; Ames real-estate agent Dean Hunziker; and professional bowhunter John Dudley and his wife, Sharon.

Hunziker told the AP on one trip, the group, which included nowVice President-elect Mike Pence and wealthy Indiana businessman Steve Hageman, shot doves and had a barbecue. Another trip with Hunziker and Hageman included shooting ducks.

Landolt said they audit all users of university-owned aircraft, not just Leath.

During the Board of Regents meeting on Oct. 20, Chief Audit Executive Todd Stewart told board members that their preliminary investigation found Leath’s travel did not conflict with any university policy and that the plane purchases followed board policy.

The board then voted for a more comprehensive review, including an audit of each individual flight by the ISU Flight Service since Leath joined Iowa State as president in 2012.

The school has said “President Leath welcomes the full audit, will fully cooperate and is committed to adhering to university and board policies.”

Army ROTC trains in uncharted territory

By Emily.Schroer @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State Army ROTC has the opportunity — though it’s more of a requirement — to swim with vests and rifles on their backs in a water training program once every semester.

The biannual event took place Wednesday in the Beyer Hall swimming pool.

“It’s essentially a compilation of four to five events,” said Cole Barbee, senior cadet, second lieutenant and platoon leader. “One event [is to] tread water for 10 minutes or so. The cadets are not supposed to touch the ground [at all].”

Another event is swimming for five continuous minutes without treading.

The third involves a gear-ditch lane where the cadets put on a combat vest.

While they are submerged underwater, they have to unclip the vest and get rid of the rifle before they get to the top, Barbee said.

“If they fail to do that, they will have another opportunity to do so, and if they fail it, it’s a no-go for that [event],” he said.

Those who are placed in the fourth event are given a vest and rifle and are told to swim 15 meters, nearly 50 feet, as fast as they possibly can; while swim-

‘Suck it up’ bill targets universities

By Chris.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com The unexpected end to a divisive election has led to controversy on both sides of the aisle.

One member of the Iowa House of Representatives has proposed a bill dubbed the “Suck it up, Buttercup” bill for the upcoming legislative session in January. The idea has since gained a large amount of attention, both positive and negative.

The bill was proposed by state Rep. Bobby Kaufmann, R-Wilton.

Any universities that fund grief counseling or other services, besides those already in place for the purpose of reducing election-related grief, should receive budget cuts double that of the money spent on the previously mentioned services, Kaufmann said.

“I heard all these reports across the country of schools spending all this money on cry groups and coloring groups,” Kaufmann said. “To me, that’s not how we should be preparing

college students for adult life. It was more of a preventative measure than a reactive measure.”

He also made it clear that he felt existing counseling measures should remain in place for those who need them. Rather, this was a preventative measure to keep schools from spending money on “coddling.”

“Unfortunately life ain’t sensitive, and I’m trying to show students that,” Kaufmann said.

Kaufmann didn’t accuse any Iowa schools of wasteful spending on post-election grief, however, he said the bill was motivated by stories he has heard from other schools.

“I just wanted to fire off the warning shot, politically speaking, that that’s not going to fly in Iowa,” Kaufmann said.

Another section he would like to add to the bill would increase the penalty for protesting on the interstate or anywhere it could prove dangerous to others. The safety of his constituents, many of whom were held up by protesters on Interstate 80, inspired this part of the bill.

For Kaufmann, the goal of his

Iowa Rep. Bobby Kaufmann proposed a “Suck it up, Buttercup” bill, which would cause any university that funds election-related grief counseling to receive budget cuts.

proposal is clear.

“What I’m specifically talking about is spending new dollars that are intended to coddle people who simply cannot handle the results of an election,” Kaufmann said.

To others, this proposal is not such a no-brainer. Catherine Crist, the Iowa Democratic Party Disabilities Caucus chair,

sharply criticized Kaufmann and his proposal.

“For many, the election results heightened or exacerbated pre-existing medical and mental health conditions … to deny services simply because they need to ‘suck it up’ is extremely callous,” Crist said in a statement.

StuGov passes tuition increase resolution

By Linda.Black @iowastatedaily.com Student Government passed a resolution Wednesday night in response to a proposal to raise tuition at Iowa State.

The proposal, which the Board of Regents will have a final vote on in December, would raise tuition for all students, but also set a differential tuition rate with five upper division undergraduate programs, including animal science, biology, computer science, industrial design and natural resource and ecology management.

Speaker Danielle Nygard speaks at the Sept. 21 Student Government meeting in the Memorial Union.

The university as a whole is proposing a 2 percent tuition increase for in-state students,

a 3 percent tuition increase for out-of-state students and an entirely new funding plan that

differentiates among the majors, as explained in the bill.

“Students won’t see paying it off when they pursue their careers,” Student Government President Cole Staudt said. “They will see what price is wanted now.

Passing this resolution isn’t saying we support it. It is saying we want the time spent on the issue.”

As the discussion during Wednesday’s meeting continued, views started to differ on the benefit of passing the resolution.

“ISU has fallen in prestige — I think this resolu-

tion lessens the burden on international students,” said Sen. Cody Woodruff.

Sen. Koki Tomoeda, who abstained in first voting of passing, later changed his vote to a no, and argued that without numbers, making a definite decision would be difficult to do.

“I feel like I needed to represent all of my constituents,” Tomoeda said. “I thought I should say no. I do want to review.”

ISU expresses support for immigrant students

By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State said Wednesday afternoon that while it recognizes the fear and anxiety among many students regarding the country’s immigration laws, it cannot declare the university a “Sanctuary Campus.”

university interacts with U.S. immigration laws.

University police do not gather information about the citizenship or immigration status of the people the police have interactions with, and the university said it does not have plans to change that practice.

Despite the walkout and upset students, Iowa State said it does not have the authority to declare the campus a sanctuary and must operate within the policies and guidelines established by the Iowa Board of Regents “As a land-grant institution, Iowa State will continue to adhere to its long-standing practice of providing a high quality, affordable education to all students.”

“We understand that many members of the Iowa State community are concerned about potential changes to the country’s immigration laws and the impact on undocumented students,” the statement read.

Title IX, Clery Act issue for ISU police

By Danielle.Gehr @iowastatedaily.com

actually having to say it to their face,” Gray said in regard to the app.

Gray believes that cyberbullying is “definitely a problem,” but that it would be hard for the future first lady to truly make any change. He cited the youth of today as a reason why the first lady could have trouble getting the message across, given the fact the kids don’t know or pay attention to her actions.

Past first ladies have worked on various campaigns to improve the United States, including Michelle Obama’s Healthy Kids Act initiative, Laura Bush’s advocacy for improved literacy and education for children and Nancy Reagan’s “Just

Title IX and the Clery Act are two separate works of legislation that are meant to protect victims, but because of contradicting language and a lack of explanations, they may need reworking.

The Iowa State Police Department deals with these issues on a regular basis.

Despite sending a number of people from its department to seminars related to the acts among other training, the department has run into issues with the problem of misinterpreted language.

This language can lead to lawsuits or fines.

“They’ve left some things kind of open for interpretation, so we tend to try to do the best that we can for students and the university out of that interpretation,” said Aaron Delashmutt, interim chief of the Iowa State Police Department.

“Until it is a defined code of Iowa definition, I don’t know how long that would take or if it will ever get to that point.”

The Clery Act requires that the police give timely warning when an assault occurs as well as share any information about crime on campus — this is the reason for the Annual Fire and Safety reports.

Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in a federallyfunded educational institution and gives the university guidelines on how a sexual assault case needs to be handled.

“Our primary function at ISU Police is to investigate sexual assault cases that are reported to our agency,” said Carrie Jacobs, a deputy chief at the Iowa State Police Department. “Of course we are victim centered. That means we let them drive the bus; however, whenever there has been an incident involving an Iowa State student, as both a victim and also as a suspect, we are required under federal regulations through Title IX as well as the Clery Act to report and we also are required to investigate.”

The largest issue the department seems to have is a 60-day limit placed on an investigation of a case relating to sexual assault. Under Title IX, the university and the police must complete all interviews relating to the case among other responsibilities, making this a difficult time frame.

This does not include a court hearing and a conviction since, according to Delashmutt, that would be impossible. The department is left to interpret the reason for this restricting time limit because of the fact that there is no explanation in their training as to why this is put in place.

The department has also never been given a reason why it must pursue a case once all of the information is present even if the victim wants it to be left alone. The department, in the past, has run into issues with this transition from a “victimbased” approach to follow-

Iowa State students and other Ames residents join together to stage a walkout from the Agora to the Enrollment Services Building on Wednesday while calling for a “Sanctuary Campus.” As they marched, they chanted, “When people’s lives are under attack, we stand up and fight back.”

A march for a ‘Sanctuary Campus’

By Isa.Cournoyer @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State students staged a walkout Wednesday afternoon as part of a nationwide movement calling for a “Sanctuary Campus” with the aim to pressure university officials to put limits on their cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

After more than a year of campaign promises to deport illegal immigrants from the United States

by President-elect Donald Trump, many Iowa State students are fearful of the impact that a Trump presidency could have on their families, selves and day-to-day lives.

“When people’s lives are under attack, we stand up and fight back,” students and staff chanted in unison as they marched from the Agora to the Enrollment Services Building .

The march, which was dubbed a walkout, was coordinated by Students vs. Trump. The group believes that in order to retain a community that promotes protecting the university’s core values of protecting its most vulnerable people — black people, Muslims, queer people and all people of color — Iowa State must declare itself a “Sanctuary Campus.”

The group of more than 100 people gathered in front of the steps of Enrollment Services, where Maria Alcivar, graduate student in human development and family studies, expressed her grievances.

“We have to first ask, ‘What are we willing to do for marginalized communities that have been attacked?’” Alcivar said.

Alcivar focused on what she feels is the lack of support shown by the university for undocumented students. She expressed her frustration with the lack of change that she has seen in her eight years at Iowa State.

“This is not new,” Alcivar said. “The administration needs to see that this is real and it’s happening right under their nose.”

Alcivar used the acronym DACA to speak about students who have obtained Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) from the Department of Homeland Security. DACA permits allow those who have them to remain in the United States for up to two years before needing renewal.

“I don’t want to be told that I can’t get financial aid because I don’t have a Social Security number,” Alcivar said. “I don’t want money handed to me either, but I will show you that I worked for it,” she said, focusing on the fact that the university

should increase resources for DACA students.

After Alcivar’s speech, Martino Harmon, senior vice president for student affairs, responded to what was said.

“I can’t say much right now, but I can tell you this: We have always supported undocumented students,” Harmon said. “We will not pull [students] out and check immigration status; we will not turn our backs on you.”

Harmon explained that Iowa State’s administration has been meeting with and discussing students’ issues and concerns. He also said that cautionary measures have to be taken to prevent the university from being at federal risk.

“As a Latina and a queer woman, I came to show solidarity with other groups that Trump has attacked,” Michelle Ramos, junior in nutritional science, said. “I am here to make a lot of noise and to hopefully help make change.”

Alcivar ended the walkout with a final statement noting that the journey to equality for everyone has just begun here at Iowa State.

“It isn’t until we see those in power standing here with us that we will know they support DACA students, black students, LGBTQ students, ALL students,” Alcivar said. “Until that happens, we will make sure that they hear us.”

Melania Trump vows to fight cyberbullying

By Rachel.Ori @iowastatedaily.com A week before her husband, Donald Trump, was declared President-elect, Melania Trump vowed to voters that she would use her time in the White House to fight against harassment online.

Speaking at a campaign event for her husband in Philadelphia on Nov. 3, Melania focused her attention on reassuring voters that her husband would truly “Make America Great Again.”

Touching on ideas such as unity and privilege, Melania emphasized that America’s online culture is the main source of disdain for young people across the country.

Melania said in her speech that she “worries for our children” and that she believes they should be taught “kindness, honesty, respect …”

She went on to say that “[bullying] is unacceptable when it is done by someone with no name hiding on the internet.”

“We must find ways to talk to each other, to disagree with each other, to respect each other … especially on social media.”

The announcement was immediately met with skepticism, as many commentators pointed out that her husband is infamous for using his social media platforms to taunt and tear down others.

This behavior, otherwise known as cyberbullying, is universally defined as “the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening nature,” according to cyberbullying.org.

The website also states that in 2015, nearly 87 percent of today’s youth had witnessed cyberbullying. Females are more likely than males to experience online harassment, with 41 percent of females reporting that they had been cyberbullied in their lifetime. In comparison, 29 percent of males reported being cyberbullied in their lifetime.

Melania Trump, right, told voters a week before Donald Trump was elected that she would use her time in the White House as the first lady to fight against cyberbullying.

Today, forms of cyberbullying lay in social media outlets that young adults and teens use virtually every day.

Twitter, Instagram and whatever the “app of the moment” may be can lead to spikes in online harassment.

Rachel Gray, sophomore in elementary education, said she witnessed many “Twitter fights” while in high school, along with the use of an app called “After School.”

After School is a mobile app that allows users to write comments and post pictures of their classmates while remaining anonymous. The app received much attention in metro Iowa high schools in 2015.

Fine dining night serves student creations

By Jake.Dalbey @iowastatedaily.com Serving up student-led food inspirations, the Joan Bice Underwood Tearoom was transformed into a fine dining establishment Monday through Wednesday this week as one part educational opportunity and one part culinary experience.

Stemming off of the quantity food production management course, Hospitality 380, Hospitality 487 aims to allow students the chance to run a fine dining

restaurant from serving and expediting all the way to preparing food within the kitchen.

“This is the fine dining event management class and those who take the class decide what the team will be serving for the dinner, and the menu, as well as the table decorations,” said Lakshman Rajagopal, adviser of 487 and associate professor of apparel, events and hospitality management. ”It’s like having a restaurant for an evening, it’s concept to execution.”

With the previous night’s dinner focusing on American and

Mexican food, the group decided on an Italian theme Wednesday night with the option of wine available to those who are of age.

Differing from the 300-level course where students serve food within the Tearoom’s lunch hour under a pre-constructed menu, 487’s menu and overall theme are created entirely by student input. Ideas are conceptualized, approved by the head chef and then taste tested to ensure the product makes sense within the menu as a whole.

As the next step toward a degree in culinary science, some

students enjoy the freedom allowed by the class and use the menu as a way to flex their creative chops.

“With my team, I tried to think of things that would be cool and unique but not incredibly impossible to achieve,” said Nicole Graves, senior in culinary food science.

Graves spent a summer in a study abroad program focused in Italy. There, she was able to harness inspiration from the cooking techniques she witnessed in Italy and attempted to bring those back to the Tearoom.

“It made it really fun because I could show people that these were the entrees that we tried over there, and then turned it into our own Iowa State flair,” Graves said.

Because student involvement is so integral into the class’s experience, Graves takes pride in the work she helps create.

“This class [involves] a lot more thought process than 380 because it isn’t standardized menus,” Graves said. ”For this class, it becomes a lot more special to me because I helped create this menu and it’s now being served.”

COLLECTIVE ART CAN UNIFY

By Alex.Ivanisevic @iowastatedaily.com Last Thursday afternoon, the Agora was splashed with a bit of color thanks to Christian missionary Paul Wislotski. Wislotski had set up a white bed sheet pinned to a wooden frame encouraging students to be creative and draw on the canvas with pastel chalk.

“I’m currently on a mission from God to go to at least two universities in all 50 states to share Jesus,” Wislotski said, gesturing toward the bed sheet with colorful doodles all over it.

He explained that the creative effort put into producing the sheets of collective art brings people together and that is what his mission is all about.

Wislotski enthusiastically offered pastels to students approaching the nearly full sheet and exclaimed, “they love it, it’s a stress reliever! My guidelines are simple: no writing, no peace signs or yin yang, no crosses or rainbows or smiley faces. Not too big and don’t cover nobody’s.”

Wislotski has traveled to 31 states so far on his mission, and he has been producing collective art pieces for 22 years.

His motivation to continue traveling and spreading the idea of creating collective art pieces on college campuses comes from his observations of today’s generation. The generation many refer to as “millennials,” he calls the “90 ohs.”

“What I am seeing on campuses right now are depressed spirits, he said. “The right side of the brain is not getting any exercise, so if you belong to clubs or organizations on campus set up one or two of these every two to three weeks. Put some sheets out and have some fun, de-stress a little bit.”

Ultimately, Wislotski would love if the art sheets made were collected and sent overseas to people in need. He said it would be a generous gesture that displays some of America’s love and a bit of Americans’ imagination.

“Your generation will be the greatest in history because you’re reaching out with hope to people all over the world,” he said. “It is a small piece of yourself, and how much does it cost? It’s a bed sheet

and it doesn’t cost much. What it does is connects your campus and it could get your clubs global, and we need that now.”

He also mentioned how it would be a brilliant idea to make it a family project to draw on a bed sheet and create a collective art piece at your next gathering; it is a way for your voice to be heard and it is something that could

bring everyone together to focus on one thing. Something that, in Wislotski’s opinion, hasn’t been prominent since the radio was big.

“Remember something about this: It is not about me. It is about this idea, he said. “You gotta make your generation the greatest because 200 or 300 years from now the art pieces are still going to be

there, and those people are going to point to it and say, ‘This is why the 90 ohs were the greatest, look what they did.’”

Wislotski encourages every student involved in a club, organization or in the greek community to take on this idea and make the trend spread like “wildfire.”

He believes these pieces of collective art will send the message

that America is still the land of hope.

“You’re working together and we gotta have you guys unite together creatively. You guys gotta be the moment makers!”

Wislotski said. “If you’re not the moment makers, someone else is gonna make them. I want to see your generation make the moments, not just be a part of them.”

er what I like to write about,” Marko said.

For the new album, Marko said listeners can expect “a lot of new songs with more mature lyrics, and melodies that have improved.”

After playing shows in various states and the full length debuting on Dec. 3, it’s clear that Marko has come a long way from that broken-down guitar in Puerto Rico, and it’s even clearer that he hasn’t forgotten his roots, evident in the music he has written and continues t o w r i t e throughout his time on the Ames music scene. rtes y of

In a room of a house, somewhere in Puerto Rico, there sat an old, out of tune guitar, and Jon Marko picked it up and started playing it.

“It never stayed in tune,” Marko chuckled. “It sounded really bad, but it eventually got good.”

Soon after, Marko’s father bought him his first guitar.

“The first song I learned was ‘Back in Black’ by AC/DC, but now I play folk music.”

Since then, his abilities and tastes have evolved, dabbling in both rock and roll and folk music around and outside of central Iowa.

Marko is no stranger to the Ames music scene — for the last seven years, he’s been in and

out of various projects, his most recent being the band Gold Lotus, but he has now branched off to focus on his solo work.

While Gold Lotus was primarily “really loud rock and roll music,” his solo work stems from his passion for folk music’s ability to tell a story despite its inherent simplicity.

“It speaks in a plain language, it’s right out there in the open.

I wanted to write words that would paint a picture,” Marko said.

After the dissolution of Gold Lotus, Marko began work on his first solo album, a primarily rock and roll album with a hint of reggae; and his experience in Gold Lotus lent a hand to the development of the new solo sound.

Art Nouveau exhibit evokes creativity, individuality

By Melanie.Van Horn @iowastatedaily.com

Assistant Curator Adrienne Gennett gives a tour of the exhibition Challenging Taste: Art Nouveau in the Decorative Arts on Sunday.

A crowd of visitors gathered to view the Brunnier Art Musuem’s collection of decorative pieces in art nouveau style on Sunday. The pieces are part of an exhibit titled “Challenging Taste: Art Nouveau in the Decorative Arts,” running through next summer.

Assistant curator Adrienne Gennett gave visitors a background into the origins of the style before the group viewed pieces of American and European vases and decorative glass.

Art nouveau began as a reaction to the rapidly changing world at the

turn of the century. With the rise of consumerism, artists sought the individuality and creativity that disappeared with the birth of the Industrial Revolution.

Much of the style was also developed as artists sought to discover their own personal identities among their changing world.

“This was a point where they figured out a new sense of identity, not necessarily through objects, but how we use objects to signify life and identity,” Gennett said.

The movement lasted for a relatively short period of time, beginning around 1890 and becoming nearly obsolete by 1914. The style was prominently featured at

the 1900 Paris World’s Fair at the height of its popularity. But by 1905, much of the art was removed and viewed as “overdone” within French culture.

Art nouveau evolved separately in America, with artists focusing on the practicality and individualism of the piece rather than beauty and ornateness. One particularly famous artist was Louis Comfort Tiffany, son of the founder of Tiffany & Co. His social status allowed for him to design pieces for the wealthy upper class, as well as travel to gain inspiration from other artisans.

Destinie Phomsouvanh, junior in apparel, merchandising and de-

sign, attended the tour as part of a class requirement but still found a way to connect with the art.

She especially liked the pottery that was created by widowed women who used art nouveau as a way to make a living for themselves.

“A lot of apparel is based on art, and it trickles down from fashion into department stores.

I think it says a lot about how art can inspire industry,” Phomsouvanh said.

The core of the collection was from the Brunnier family, with other pieces contributed by Rex and Helen Cook.

The exhibit is open to the public until July 2017.

Only 24 states and the District of Columbia require public schools to teach students sex education.

President-elect Donald Trump speaks in front of an audience on July 28 in Cedar Rapids. Scientists are estimating that the global effects of Trump’s presidency will be so severe that they will be measured in geologic time. Columnist Woodruff believes protecting the environment should be a top priority of his.

On the back burner Trump must make the environment a priority as president

By Beth.Woodruff @iowastatedaily.com

I

n the wake of the presidential election, many citizens are outraged, or even fearful, of the outcome. Regardless of how you feel about the election, there is something that needs to be taken into account: What Donald Trump means for the environment.

On his website, Trump has made few statements about environmental issues. One of the issues he has mentioned is energy. Trump stated that he plans to conserve natural habitats, reserves and resources.

He also plans to protect and ensure clean air and water for Americans.

Trump’s energy platforms also include increasing use of “untapped shale, oil and natural gas reserves.”

Despite Trump’s website stating that he plans to protect the environment, he has made it abundantly clear during his campaign he may not put environmental issues at the forefront of his presidency.

Trump has said many times that he does not believe global warming is a true issue, rather a conspiracy made by the Chinese. While he is entitled to his own opinion, having a world leader not take scientifically proven issues seriously may have deadly effects on the world.

Throughout his entire candidacy, Trump has stated that he plans to pull the United States out of the Paris Agreement.

Backing out of the Paris Agreement could have detrimental effects on the environment, especially considering 20 percent of emission cuts in the agreement came from the United States.

Not only would backing out of the Paris Agreement cause environmental ramifications, but it could cause problems for international relationships as well. Alden Meyer from the Union of Concerned Scientists, said that if America were to pull out of the agreement, the country may appear to be a rogue nation in regard to climate change in the eyes of the United Nation. This could in turn strongly affect how Trump is able to deal with foreign leaders during his presidency, and could affect his credibility in the eyes of other nations.

Trump also has mentioned plans to limit the Clean Power Plan and minimize the role of the Environmental Protection Agency. Trump’s biggest complaint about the Clean Power Plan is that it would cut carbon emissions from existing power plants by 30 percent, which would endanger some Americans’ jobs and affect coal power plants heavily.

While it is true that some jobs may be in danger, and the economy may be somewhat adversely affected, people need to understand that without a functioning environment, there can be no economy. Humans rely on the ecosystem and environment to live and function. If we destroy

that, then there will be no economy to uphold.

Trump continued on to say that he wants to allow drilling and fracking on federal lands. This proposition worries many environmentalists, who see the dangerous potential in what Trump is suggesting. Many national parks in Alaska are now at risk for being destroyed by people too eager to drill for oil. Allowing drilling in America’s beloved national parks, for example Yosemite, will simply take a change legislation. With the White House and Congress both in Republican control, that may not be hard to achieve.

Trump’s environmental plans, overall, are expected to increase the United States’ carbon emissions by 16 percent. This 16 percent is equal to 3.4 billion tons of carbon emissions from 2016 to 2024. With carbon emissions contributing greatly to global warming, Trump’s plan could very well be detrimental. Scientists are estimating that the global effects of Trump’s presidency will be so severe that they will be measured in geologic time.

In the long run, Trump’s strictly business-like attitudes may cause severe ramifications to the environment. Despite Trump’s fear that clean energy would take jobs away, it would also create millions. In the first three months of 2015 alone, 1.2 million clean energy jobs were created, allowing clean energy to help improve the economy, not hurt it.

Without the environment, there is no economy. Protecting the environment needs to be a priority for Trump, even before the economy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ISU student, Dunn, again misses the point

By Eric Schultz Senior in accounting As a white, Christian male, I consider myself to be very fortunate in a sense that I do not have to put up with the amount of negativity these days. As a member of the Student Government, however, it is my proud duty to stand up for those whose differences make them a target.

I agree with the idea of the Letter to the Editor on Tuesday, Nov. 15, regarding “ISU promoting an atmosphere of pusillanimity” because free speech is a beautiful thing, however,

I morally disagree with author Robert Dunn’s viewpoints for reasons that I feel he is misinformed.

After talking to Iowa State Counseling Services, I found out that counseling was available in 2012, 2008, 2004 and so on as it is today. However, never before have we had an unprecedented candidate for president who has appeared to many people as threatening and as obnoxious as Trump.

Unlike most Hillary supporters, I do give Trump the benefit of the doubt that he will run this country as a successful business, however, as somebody who has a sister going to Iowa

State at the same time as me, I fear that certain Trump supporters (not all) will try to grab her in an inappropriate way because they think it is OK. When a president gets elected, some supporters (again, not all) tend to follow the new president’s lead as an example.

To some, because Trump was elected, it is OK to try to grab a woman’s genitals or yell “F-- you n-----” or disrespect a Muslim because they saw this sort of filth throughout Trump’s campaign.

I hear from constituents and from the news about groups being targeted for hate and then conservative students like Mr.

Dunn wonder why protest is so energized over the past week. If anything, I am proud that this university is offering counseling services to help students cope with a Trump presidency and the threats they feel from it.

Finally, speaking of “crybabies,” let’s talk about the eight years I remember hearing “not my president.” As an independent, nonpartisan voter, I’ve noticed that people on both sides like to protest when things are not going their way and put down others when things do in fact go their way. This needs to change on both sides because after all, a house divided cannot stand.

Create meaningful change on campus

By Cody Smith Junior in Ag Communications; Political Science On Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union, Iowa State Student Government will hold its first ever “State of the Student Body Address.” President Cole Staudt will highlight his intended goals for the remainder of his term and how he will achieve them.

If you have any questions that you would like addressed beforehand, you can email him at

cmstaudt@iastate.edu.

Just as important, immediately after the address, Student Government will be hosting an unprecedented open forum to facilitate meaningful discussion among students about what Student Government can do to create a fairer, more inclusive campus.

As members of Student Government, we hear concerns students from all nationalities, ethnicities, cultures and social groups have about the struggles they face here in Ames. This is their, and your, opportunity to

make concerns about our university heard.

Iowa State has consistently struggled with the inclusion of minority groups and the first way to combat that is to talk about it.

Each of us knows our own challenges that we face on a daily basis, but we cannot guess what your concerns are, you need to tell us.

Throughout the history of our nation, students have been the sparks needed to ignite the flame of a national movement.

Peaceful student activism has

influenced the dismantlement of segregation, foreign wars and it has contributed to countless important advancements in American democracy.

Though on a smaller scale, this is our opportunity to create meaningful change. Please, join us.

Speak freely, speak honestly and speak from your heart. Government is meant to maintain the welfare of all people within a certain area. allow Student Government the opportunity to have an impact on our campus for generations to come.

Let’s talk about sex Let’s talk about sex. Hook-up culture on college campuses isn’t new, and year after year, freshmen leave the supervision of their parents to live in same-sex or co-ed residence halls.

Too often these freshmen lack a basic understanding of sexual education, sexual health and consent.

While students may have earned AP or college credit at their high school, many fall short of an accurate and healthy understanding of sex. This is because only 24 states and the District of Columbia have a requirement for public schools to teach sex education.

Moreover, schools in only 13 states are required to provide information that is medically, factually and/or technically accurate when it comes to sex and/or HIV education.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a study in 2014 that details sex education in 48 states. It shows a wide discrepancy of policies and teachings from state to state.

Even within states, some school districts are given leeway to decide how sexual education is taught and implemented.

Utah, for instance, restricts teachers from answering questions asked by students in a manner that conflicts with the state’s laws and requirements.

So while some freshmen may know the ins and outs of the birds and the bees, others may have simply been told to wait until a heterosexual marriage.

This type of patchwork policy and educational standard is a disservice to our youth and to our country. The United States has an abnormally high teen pregnancy rate among other high income nations at 24.2 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 19. Most of western Europe has rates ranging from three to 15 births per 1,000 women in the same age group.

Additionally, many schools are not required to provide information with inclusive language that addresses the issues and needs faced by LGBT+ youth.

Some states and school districts provide very good education on human sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases and family planning. But some is not enough.

Not enough students go through high school and enter college with real world skills and answers to serious questions. What types of contraception are available? What are the risks of STDs and HIV? How can I reduce my risk while engaging in sexual activity? Where and when should I get an STD/HIV test?

This type of education is needed in our society. In public schools, it should be provided free of bias and religious influence.

No one person is better than another because of the number of times they’ve had sex or the number of people. What does matter is that the conversation happens early on in adolescence and young adults have the correct information and the empowerment to make safe, healthy and smart decisions when it comes to their sexual activity.

Despite suspension, Carter will still travel to Florida

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com

Max Goldberg/Iowa State Daily

Sophomore Simeon Carter, right, sits with junior Ray Kasongo on the bench before the Cyclones’ game against Mount St. Mary’s on Monday.

Forward Simeon Carter was suspended last weekend due to a violation of team rules, an Iowa State spokesperson confirmed prior to the Cyclones’ game against Mount St. Mary’s last Sunday.

Iowa State coach Steve Prohm addressed the soph-

omore’s suspension on Wednesday for the first time. “[It was] a violation of team rules, poor decisions,” Prohm said. “Decisions you make away from the floor impact you. That’s what everybody needs to learn and understand. You have to do things a certain way. Right now he’s not living up to his end of the bargain.”

The 6-foot-8 big man dropped six points and

grabbed two rebounds against Savannah State on Nov. 11 in the Cyclones’ season opener. Last season, he saw the court in 15 games and averaged just 0.7 points and 0.4 rebounds per game.

There are two games remaining on Carter’s suspension, which will likely be served during Iowa State’s game against the Citadel on Sunday and then against Indiana State on Thursday

at the Advocare Invitational in Orlando, Florida, next Thursday.

“He’ll make the Florida trip. He’s suspended for the Citadel and he won’t play against Indiana State either,” Prohm said. “He’s got some internal punishment as well that he started today.

As of right now, if everything goes well, he should be back for hopefully the semifinal game.”

Soccer reflects on abrupt end

By Curran.McLaughlin @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State soccer team slowly filed out of the Hunziker Auditorium in the Jacobson Building at Jack Trice Stadium last weekend.

The players made their way down the stairs and out of the building with sullen looks on their faces, tears in some of the players’ eyes.

Coach Tony Minatta made his way back to his office. The walk wasn’t far in distance, but it took him a while.

He unlocked the door to the office that had a soccer banner hanging off of it, went past the leather furniture and desks.

“Well, that’s disappointing,” Minatta said.

After going 10-8-1 and finishing fifth in the Big 12 with 3-5-1 conference record, there were high hopes for the Cyclone soccer team to make the NCAA Tournament for just the second time in program history.

The team sat watching the show with confidence that it would get in.

That was not the case.

Over time, confidence was replaced with confusion as more teams were being announced. Six Big 12 teams made the tournament, three of which finished lower than Iowa State in the conference. “[We were thinking], ‘Oh we must be in, you know?’” forward Klasey Medelberg said.

“If [those teams] are in, we are in. As the time went on, there was just a lot of confusion in what determining factors made them get in before us.”

Minatta didn’t find it fair that teams like Texas Tech and Oklahoma State had made it in with what he thought to be weaker résumés. Ultimately, Minatta said he knows his team could have done better to insure an at-large bid.

“It is what it is,” Minatta said. “That’s why you go to put some of those games away that we should have put away.

You can’t leave it in the hands of the judges at the end of the day and we did — and they judged, that’s for sure.”

With the season over, there was a final meeting Tuesday.

It was the last time that this group of players would gather as a team this season.

“I was just sad because I knew that our season [was] over, and I wasn’t going to get the opportunity to play with all the seniors again,” Medelberg said. “I just wanted at least one more game to say goodbye to everyone. I wasn’t really prepared for the goodbyes to the seniors.”

The seniors were given chances to say something to the team and to say goodbye as teammates. “[The season] felt unfinished that we didn’t get to do anything after the [Big 12 tournament],” junior Lindsey Hendon said.

Minatta told the returning players to remember that moment when they didn’t get in.

He also made a point to the entire team that this one moment shouldn’t define the season. He showed them statistically how much better they did compared to the 2015 season in which they finished 0-8 in conference play.

To Minatta, this season was a success and a turning point for the program.

“It all starts with leadership and that starts with me, and you got to take a look in the

mirror and when I looked in the mirror after fall 2015, I did not like who I saw and I didn’t like the program I had been in charge of,” Minatta said.

Minatta began to read book after book on building a soccer team and slowly he formulated a plan.

“It started with the change of the team culture,” Hendon said. “It started about getting to know people more off the field so you work with them better on the field.”

And the results are already showing for Minatta’s young team. With the help of the seniors in the offseason, Minatta and the returning players are ready to build off of the work that he and the players have put into the program.

For Hendon, she’s determined to show the seniors that they were instrumental in building the team up this year.

“We have to carry [this feeling] into next year and make sure we do get that final game for the next season and do [this year’s seniors] justice, because they got us to that point and we have to prove to them the no selection didn’t define who they were,” Hendon said.

One year removed from a disappointing loss in the first round of the national tournament, the Iowa State men’s basketball club is looking for redemption.

Last year, the club qualified for the national tournament after winning the Mid America Conference.

Along with seven other teams from around the country, it traveled to Pittsburgh for the eight-team tournament. A one-point loss to Georgetown sent the team home after the opening round.

This year, with a lot of new faces on the roster, the team hopes to return to nationals for the third straight year.

Only five players from last year’s team returned for this season.

Team captain Cameron Mehls is in his third year with the club.

He said that although this year’s team has plenty of new players, the main goal for the team is to qualify for the national tournament.

“I really like the intensity everyone plays with,” Mehls said. “It’s a younger group. The last couple of years, I was always the youngest. I started as a sophomore and I was the only one.

“We’ve got a lot of sophomores this year and they play really hard. They like to play.”

To qualify for nationals, Iowa State will likely have to win the Mid America Conference again. Some of the

other teams in the Mid America Conference include Western Illinois, Creighton and Bradley.

Sophomore Walker Weiss is in his second year with the team. He wants to build upon last season’s success.

“That’s our goal — to make it to nationals,” Weiss said. “We want to be able to win our conference again.”

Mehls echoed that sentiment, saying he thinks a return trip to nationals could be in store.

“Based off last year, I think we have a pretty good shot at winning our conference again,” Mehls said. “This year, there’s two sides to the conference so we’ll have to play the champion of the other side, but I think we’ve got a good shot at going back to nationals for the third time in a row.”

One of the strengths of the team is balance.

Without a go-to scorer, everyone on the team has a big role and everyone contributes to both wins and losses.

“We’re a really deep team,” Mehls said.

“We’ve got some fast guards and we can get out in transition pretty well.

Weiss said he likes the way the team looks early in the season.

“So far it looks like we’re coming together well as a whole,” Weiss said. “Obviously it’s hard to replace the whole squad.

“We’re happy with the new guys and their contributions and effort in practice, and I think we still have a very competitive squad.”

PG Donovan Jackson nearly healthy after wrist injury

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com

Max Goldberg/Iowa State Daily

Iowa State point guard Donovan Jackson drives through the lane in the team’s exhibition game against Sioux Falls on Nov. 6, 2016 at Hilton Coliseum. Jackson is currently battling back from a broken right wrist.

Donovan Jackson is starting to find his groove at Iowa State, his new home this year after transferring from Iowa Western Community College.

But one thing is holding him back: his wrist.

Jackson broke his right wrist at Iowa Western last season, and has been working to get back to full strength ever since.

He was cleared to start shooting again in May, and was fully cleared to go earlier this fall.

But Jackson said he isn’t back to 100 percent just yet.

“I’m kind of used to [the pace of play at Iowa State],” Jackson said,” but my wrist, I’m still trying to get my wrist 100 percent healthy.”

Jackson, who has filled the backup point guard role so far

this season, said his wrist has really limited what he can do on the court.

“Doing certain crossovers, slapping at the ball on the defensive end, just diving on the floor, plays like that I won’t do because I don’t have enough flexibility [in my wrist],” Jackson said.

Jackson has seen significant playing time in Iowa State’s first two games this season, and has appeared to be playing at full strength.

Against Savannah State, Jackson played 17 minutes, but had just two points, one rebound and one assist. Against Mount St. Mary’s, Jackson played 15 minutes, and had three points and four assists.

While his offensive production isn’t necessarily his role, Jackson said he just wants to fill in the best way he can. That, a lot of the time, is on the defen-

sive end of the court.

“I think I’ll just be like a role guy,” Jackson said. “Playing the point guard position, getting everybody involved and then being a hound defensively.

That’s what I want to do specifically is just pick up full court and try to make the point guard disturbed a little bit.”

Jackson, who is used to playing the majority of the game back in junior college, said it’s been tough having to take more of a “backseat” role.

In the meantime, though, Jackson said he is going to keep working on his defense. That, he believes, is how he can make the biggest impact right away.

“I think it can help me get on the floor,” Jackson said.

“I’m used to playing full court [defense] from my junior college, so I’m going to use that in transitioning here and see how it works.”

Coping with a long-distance relationship

By Kennedy.Plowman @iowastatedaily.com Time is a precious thing, especially with a significant other.

Couples cherish time spent by each other’s sides, even more so when the distance keeps them apart.

Separated by 273 miles, 1,500 miles and 15,000 miles, three Iowa State students shared with us how they cope being so far apart, but so close to those they love.

“A relationship is all about sharing a life together,” said Jill Kessenich, sophomore in agricultural business. “But being so far away can be difficult.”

Kessenich was separated from her significant other for three months while he was at basic training, which was stationed 15,000 miles away.

Although technology allowed them to connect via FaceTime and phone calls, Kessenich claims that their trust and love for each other kept them close.

“Being together is the best feeling ever,” Kessenich said.

“We could have been cleaning his house and I would still love it because we were able to do it together.”

Lexie Berry, freshman in ag-

ricultural studies, is also committed in a long-distance relationship and understands the hardships that come along with the territory.

“The hardest part about a long-distance relationship is knowing what your significant other is doing and wishing you could be there doing it with them,” Berry said.

Berry explained that a very substantial asset to their relationship is the trust they are able to build through the distance.

She believes that is the most important part to a long-distance relationship.

“Being able to trust someone else to be faithful and true is huge,” Berry said. “The best relationship you could ever have is with someone who is your best friend.”

Just like Kessenich, Berry stays connected to her significant other through texting, phone calls and FaceTime.

“Hearing each other’s voice is a big thing for me,” she said.

“Hearing his voice and seeing his smile reminds me that the distance will be worth it in the end.”

Berry’s favorite thing about the long-distance relationship is coming together after being apart for so long.

“It’s the best feeling in the

Technology allows long-distance couples to connect through various avenues such as FaceTime, phone calls and text messaging. “I thought the long distance would tear us apart, but it actually brought us so much closer together,” freshman Trina Stewart said about her relationship.

world,” she said. “Having someone you missed greet you with open arms makes my heart smile.

“My heart skips a beat and I can’t stop smiling. I fall in love with him over and over again every time I get to see him.”

Trina Stewart, freshman in animal science, stretches her

long-distance relationship over 1,500 miles.

She faces the challenge of little to no contact with her significant other as he is currently undergoing basic training.

“If I’m having a bad day, I can’t just call him up,” Stewart said.

She stays connected through the exchange of letters every

eight days and occasional phone calls.

Although long-distance relationships can put a strain on the relationship, that doesn’t always have to be the case “I thought the long distance would tear us apart, but it actually brought us so much closer together,” Stewart said.

Family at Iowa State eases college transition

By Sarah.Rich @iowastatedaily.com For many freshmen and transfer students, the transition to Iowa State can be difficult. It can be even more overwhelming not having a support system back home to help guide them through the transition to life at Iowa State. Having family members who have gone or currently go to Iowa State can help in the transition both socially and financially.

Heather Stueven, junior in event management, said her older brother, Kyle Stueven, senior in accounting, has helped with her transition from a smaller college in her hometown to the bigger atmosphere at Iowa State. She said her brother helped her make connections with other students.

“We go to church together and I think that is one of the things we do most. I just really like that,” Heather said.

Heather said having her brother at Iowa State also has brought them closer together.

“When he was going to college so far away, I only got to see him on holidays and stuff, but now I get to see him all the time,” she said.

She also said being able to go to see and spend time with her brother has brought them closer as a family too.

“It’s easy because it’s family.”

Matt Gunkelman, fifth-year senior in finance, said he and his younger brother, Joe Gunkelman, junior in supply chain management, also became closer by coming to Iowa State.

Matt said it was so easy for he and his brother to become friends because of all of the activities they do together.

“We’re in the same fraternity and work at the same place, so it’s been really easy to not just be brothers, but friends too,” Matt said.

While it was easy for him to become friends with his brother, Matt would not be able to have the relationship he does had they not been involved in the same organizations.

“You really have to be involved together.

If you aren’t in the same things, it’s hard to find the time,” Matt said.

Keeping it in the family can be financially beneficial too. If a student is out of state and their parents or grandparents graduated from Iowa State, the Return to Iowa Generation Scholarship is available.

The student may receive up to $1,500 per year as a result of the scholarship, adding up to a total of $6,000 over the course of four years.

While this scholarship does not include any other family members such as aunts, cousins or siblings, these contributions

Having a family member attend Iowa State with you can help both socially and financially. Heather Stueven, junior in event management, said her brother, Kyle, helped her make connections with other students.

can help knock out that out-of-state tuition.

In addition to other scholarships, the Iowa State Office of Admissions said to look at the FAFSA for additional aid.

Having several people in the immediate family go to college at the same time

can mean greater amounts of financial assistance because the Expected Family Contribution will decrease with each student. The FAFSA will account for the decreased monetary help each student will receive and could increase federal student aid supplied.

Tanner Downing, S5 public affairs officer, said these programs build the ROTC members’ swimming abilities.

“In the Army, we don’t practice swimming a lot so it’s a good way to do it every year,” he said. “It builds confidence. It shows cadets that they are able to do more than they think they can.

Some of the events are pretty daunting; so, once you do it,

The final event is the high dive. Cadets climb to the highest diving board, are blindfolded and are pushed off into the water below. After the process ends, they climb back up to the top to start all over again.

The Army ROTC program undergoes multiple types of training throughout the year in addition to this wa-

The ISU Police have done and continue to do their best to make sure victims know all of the options they have up-front.

The police do not necessarily have to launch a full investigation, but they are required to send any information they have over to the university, which will also decide if it will pursue charges. “[The] minute we know their name — any details — then it starts triggering us having to do more, at least passing it on and potentially a timely warning,”

“We have other areas where we will have sexual harassment training and we will have suicide prevention training,” Barbee said.

Each act has its own set of regulations on how to act as a university, whether it be a Title IX case or a Clery case. The problem is that there is a gray area when a case falls under both categories.

This is a time when the department must try and interpret what it is expected to do. If it missteps and someone files a lawsuit, the university could face fines of $37,000 per incident.

“That’s why we have a team; the university counsel, others that work together to make sure we’re doing the best that we can,

Kaufmann responded by saying he has no intention to take away counseling from those who need it.

Instead, he hopes to stop the spending of additional tax dollars for “coddling” students after the events of an election.

“I don’t have a problem with safe spaces that are created by current groups, safe spaces that are created with current infrastructure,” Kaufmann said. “There absolutely needs to be safe spaces for people who have had crimes against them, like victims of sexual assault.”

Although Kaufmann acknowledges the dissent people have expressed toward his proposals, he also claims to have received bipartisan support.

to make sure we’re doing it right and for the right reasons,” Delashmutt said.

This still doesn’t leave the department without concern. Because of constantly changing legislature, Title IX and Clery require constant upkeep because, despite being stressful and challenging, it still protects students — especially victims.

“We encourage victims to take up questions related to Title IX to reach out to the campus departments, whether that be police or Dean of Students Office. Don’t go with your questions unanswered,” Jacobs said.

“Rep. Kaufmann, with all due respect, does not understand the very real fears our students are facing because of this election,” Staudt said. “I invite Rep. Kaufmann to come down to Iowa State and I will sit him in a room with our minority students and listen to their fears and I invite him to tell them, ‘Suck it up’ to their face.”

He expressed no opposition to the part of the bill making the penalties for protesting on the interstate harsher but has serious problems with the other part of the bill that calls for no new dollars for electionrelated grief counseling.

“It’s about the message he’s sending, that our students’ feelings aren’t important,” Staudt said. “If we need to spend more money making sure our students feel safe going to class,

In response to her questioning, the discussion was continued by senators giving input in regard to many of the people they represent.

“Students understand that good schools have high costs, but we strongly support voting down of this bill,” said Sen. Alex Brand, who spoke on behalf of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

Alexis Dietz-Noel, freshman in elementary education, said she thinks Melania should focus her attention elsewhere.

When asked if she believed Melania’s cyberbullying initiative would be effective, Dietz-Noel said, “No, because there’s way more urgent matters in the world.

She could instead improve on past first lady’s projects, such as Michelle Obama’s Healthy Kid’s Act.” Melania has yet to lay out a clear plan for how she plans to fight cyberbullying.

together we have about seven individuals opposing it,” said Bradlee Fair, an Inter Residence Hall Association senator.

When later addressed, Staudt said he thought a better approach would be raising costs for all majors instead of targeting specific ones.

Staudt also said that singling out specific majors could potentially be dangerous, and additionally, adding this proposal would be maintaining the educational experience at Iowa State.

The bill passed 25-4-0.

it’s kind of a sense of achievement.”

The water training programs are also an important aspect of every cadet’s education, Barbee said. “[Passing the] water survival training is a requirement by the ROTC curriculum every semester,” he said.

“It builds confidence inside, and not with just individuals, but with one another. Others are there to encourage [those who really struggle at swimming] to stay motivated and to get past that,” Barbee said.

absolutely I think we should be doing it.”

Staudt described the proposal by Kaufmann as a “political move to get points,” citing the national attention the bill has generated.

He also expressed his concern with the rhetoric Donald Trump has used in the recent election by saying, “Donald Trump has validated a very small part of the populations’ feelings that racism and discrimination is OK. That’s what this is really about.”

Although Staudt believes the bill has a very small chance of passing, he condemns the message it sends.

“The problem that’s caused national attention is the title [Suck it up, Buttercup] and the message it sends that these students’ fears are not worthy of us addressing,” Staudt said.
