Student Government talks student issues By Zach.Clemens @iowastatedaily.com Student Government debated a resolution that would send recommendations to university administration and the Board of Regents in regards to the possible international student tuition increase. The senators voted to approve the tuition resolution 28-10. ISU administration has proposed an increase in international student

tuition rates by $500 per year for the next three years. The increase would go toward international student housing options, staffing and services in the International Students and Scholars Office as well as toward career services specifically for international students. The bill recommends to administration that if there is an increase in international student tuition, it should not exceed $250 each year, and the allocation intentions of those funds be trans-

parent. “I urge you to vote against this bill and come up with a stronger resolution,” said gallery member Abhijit Patwa, senior in mechanical engineering. A bill to expand the freespeech zones on campus was debated. It was moved to be tabled indefinitely by the bill’s author Sen. Robert Dunn, which was approved by a vote of 21 to 16 by the Senate. The free-speech zones on campus are west of the Hub and

on the south Campanile lawn. The proposal recommends the expansion of the zone to include the entire grassy area of Central Campus. “This can be a compromise on not infringing on student’s First Amendment rights and students not being harassed by outsiders like campus preachers,” Dunn said. The grassy area would only be eligible for ISU students, faculty

nyone can be a feminist, regardless if they know they are. “I never knew I was a feminist,” said Amber Klootwyk, senior in graphic design. Klootwyk grew up on a farm in central Iowa. When she was younger, her father suffered from a back injury, which kept him from being able to work on their family farm. She took over her father’s responsibilities and essentially took on a traditionally male role. Klootwyk grew up as an individual without gender limitations. It wasn’t until Klootwyk came to Iowa State when she realized she wasn’t like most other girls on campus. “I wasn’t going to conform to the ‘go to college to find a husband and then become a stay-at-home mom’ lifestyle that was expected of me,” Klootwyk said. “There’s nothing wrong with that route, it’s just that people shouldn’t be categorized like that. Everyone should have the opportunity to map out their own lives.”

Student Government met Wednesday night for the last time before Thanksgiving break. The Senate discussed international tuition increase and free-speech zones.

There’s a common denominator between Klootwyk’s logic and feminism: both point toward unconditional equality of the human race, no matter a person’s gender. According to the MerriamWebster dictionary, the definition of feminism is “The belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.” The goal of feminism is instead of having one sex greater or lesser than the other, have the sexes on an equal playing field in all aspects of life. “Feminism is the social, political and economic equality of the sexes,” Klootwyk said. This simple concept has been construed into something much hairier. Feminism began taking a foothold in the late 18th century. The world has seen three waves of the feminist movement, full of accomplishments including women gaining the right to education, occupational freedom, the right to vote, political freedom, the right to own land and so on. The theme of equality has brought positive results for both men and women FEMINISM p3 Courtesy of iStock

Feminism is defined by Merriam-Webster as “The belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.”

Open forum focuses on voices being heard By Sarah.Muller @iowastatedaily.com Students’ need to be heard by the university was the focus during the Strategic Planning Open Forum on Wednesday. About 40 people sat in the Oak Room, all with various questions for Steve Freeman, chairman of the Strategic Planning Steering Committee. Those heading the forum did not know what would be discussed, but the primary focus for the Strategic Planning Steering Committee was to listen. “We don’t want the university to be stagnant,” Freeman said. The forum was one step toward generating the first draft of the university’s strategic plan outlining the next six years at Iowa State, expected to be completed by spring break 2016. More discussion will continue in order to have a final draft to the president’s office by June 1, and a finalized product by July 1. The Strategic Planning Steer-

ing Committee is a six-member committee formed by ISU President Steven Leath. Its purpose is to compile the best resolutions for the university that will be worked on during the next six years. The Steering Committee then

decided that creating six subcommittees would be beneficial to cover all areas of the university. These subcommittees will cover enhancing the student experience, enhancing the university’s research profile, supporting state

and regional economic development, enhancing the university infrastructure, ensuring a welcoming, safe and inclusive environment. The last committee will search for creative ideas in order to relate to the other five subcommittees. Maurice Washington, graduate student in agricultural and biosystems engineering, shared concerns about how much of the budget was allocated to the four priorities set forth by the president. The president’s four priorities aim to “ensure a successful experience for students, enhance the university’s research profile, support state and regional economic development while serving all Iowans [and] ensure a welcoming, safe and inclusive campus environment,” according to the Strategic Planning Steering Committee’s website. “We know that without diversity, we will not have excellence,” Freeman said. However, he explained that none of the priorities have a specific dollar amount.

“Iowa State can’t be everything to everybody,” Washington said. “The quality of students entering in here, especially undergrad, is not up to par … you have a lot of students coming in here who are not prepared.” Freeman recognized the growth in enrollment is a stress on students, faculty and staff. However, he said it’s the quality of student experience the university provides that is the more pressing issue, and one that is more easily remedied. “Part of our land-grant mission, and part our mission from how we serve the state of Iowa, is really an open-enrollment policy,” Freeman said. Questions also arose about the variety of voices being heard as well as concerns about hearing those voices early on in the conversation. Freeman addressed the issue concerning how the university sends out information on becoming a part of the discussion in the long-term, including reach-

AROTC cadets dive into water training By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com Breathe in, breath out, swim. About 140 Army ROTC cadets filled the swimming pool in Beyer Hall Wednesday night for their annual fall combat water survival training. As the cadets entered the pool area from the south hallway of Beyer, Benjamin Rurup, senior in history, asked that they line up into two rows for a quick safety and in brief. Cadets were instructed to not horseplay, push each other around or dive into the pool. If a cadet failed to follow any of the instructions or cheated in one of the stations, he or she was to be pulled aside and had to complete the water training alone. Nationally required of every AROTC cadet to participate in the operation, the training acts as a commissioning requirement before a cadet can graduate and become an officer in the Army. Rurup noted that the fall training, which is offered twice a year, is provided to complete the training and meet the requirements, while the spring training provides a “more fun” take on the experience. The outcome of the training, according to a PowerPoint at the event, is that the “Cyclone Battal-

ion Cadets will develop adaptability, initiative and comprehensive fitness,” through the operation. After running through the brief, the four platoons divided into their respective stations, which consisted of a five-minute water tread, a 10-minute continuous swim, an underwater equipment ditch, a 15-meter swim with gear and a three-meter blindfolded drop. “Our cadets will be in full uniform this whole time, so just imagine swimming with long sleeve pants on and everything,”

Rurup said. Contracted cadets were required to wear their full uniforms, and non-contracted cadets were required to wear their red uniform shirts and gym shorts. With each of the stations having their own use, the 10-minute continuous swim was a test of endurance and stamina, while the 15-meter swim stimulated crossing a river or creek during combat. For the underwater equipment ditch or gear drop, cadets were required to jump into the pool with their rifle and load-

Candidates, media clash Frustration begins to heat up between two parties By Travis.Charlson @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa caucuses are on the distant horizon, but the fervor associated with an impending presidential election has already reared its head. Halftime shows and commercial breaks are filled with stump speeches, hopeful promises and the all too familiar ‘Don’t vote for that guy.’ But as certain candidates begin to run out of money and support, and the field begins to narrow, the intensity of the spotlight only gets brighter for those who remain. How candidates deal with this scrutiny from the media has a lot to do with the longevity of their campaigns. “They’re the inquisitors, in a sense,” said Mack Shelley, professor of political science. “[The media] is something that is meant to keep everybody else honest.” Ben Carson and Hillary Clinton are only a few of the most recent candidates whose veracity has come into question. Clinton was questioned for hours last month in a congressional hearing about the way she handled the events surrounding a 2012 attack on an American diplomatic compound in Benghazi. Clinton’s use of a private email account during her time as secretary also came into question and continues to be a topic of discussion. During last week’s Republican debate on Fox Business, Carson thanked the moderators —

with a a touch of sarcastic humor — for not asking him about something he said in the 10th grade. The comment came after recent investigations by the media — capped off with an intense press conference, where the often mild-mannered Carson aggressively questioned the media’s methods — dove into the accuracy of certain claims regarding Carson’s past that he mentioned in his memoir. This kind of frustration spans both parties, and while mishandling the pressure from the media can often lead to the downfall of a campaign, the media itself has faced scrutiny of its own from politicians and voters. Michael Dahlstrom, associate professor of journalism and communication, said that while the media is expected to cover certain events such as the debates, they also have the ability to frame those events in a subjective manner, and people tend to seek sources that agree with views they already hold. “If personal bias is already politically polarized, and the media

doesn’t lean the same way, people might get upset,” Dahlstrom said. On the other hand, real estate mogul Donald Trump can attribute much of his early success to the media, enjoying leadership in the polls and appearing to be the Republican nominee front-runner for now. “The media can make or break a candidate like [Trump],” Shelley said. “If [the media] stopped paying attention to Trump, would he still have an impact?” It’s hard to imagine a candidate such as Trump simply disappearing from the spotlight, but for some candidates — most recently Bobby Jindal — the attention, money and support has disappeared along with the hopes of a 2016 bid. While more candidates are certain to drop from the race, the number of ads, promises and times people will hear, ‘Don’t vote for that guy,’ is only going to increase. “The media has a difficult job in covering politics,” Dahlstrom said.

bearing equipment. While underwater, they were to remove all of the equipment off of their body before coming back up. “We put a helmet and a vest on them and they have their weapon. We push them to stimulate a ‘crash’ or something like that,” Rurup said. When it came time for cadets to do the 3-meter blindfolded drop, they were instructed to put on a gray hat and jump off at their own pace. Some cadets walked cautiously to the end of the board as they were unsure of the mo-

FEMINISM p1 throughout history. Despite the fact that the concept has been around for centuries, the world still struggles to fathom one specific definition for feminism. According to definitions on urbandictionary.com, a website where anyone can submit their personal perspective on definitions, feminism is more popularly known as a movement aiming to better the lives of women at the expense of men. An entry stated, “By definition, a feminist is a person who believes in the fundamental equality between the sexes, with a focus upon women’s issues such as equal pay or stereotyping. However, those who call themselves feminists rarely abide by the dictionary term. A more appropriate term for the feminist of today is female chauvinist, one who believes the female sex is naturally superior to the male sex.” Because feminism is being seen dominantly through this negative looking glass, most people refuse to associate with the word. While many people agree with the principles behind feminism, the word itself has been dirtied. Feminism is commonly associated with man-hating, angerdriven riots, lesbians and an escapade of women trying to create a culture flip and rule the world. These are all exaggerated extremes. “The world wants to make feminism out to be the enemy, and it’s done a good job of doing so, unfortunately,” said Jacob Linduski, senior in women’s studies. “Feminism obviously has ties to women and women’s issues, but it also goes broader. It goes to the feminine in general, both male and female. Feminism is relevant to everyone.” Michael Goebel, lecturer in women’s studies, English and

ment they would hit the water. Five weeks before the actual training, cadets had been divided into smaller groups of approximately 30 people, where they ran through various trainings in the pool, Rurup said. This is so cadets who may identify as weak swimmers are provided the training and practice to pass the training. If any cadets fail the training, they are available to try again in the spring. Three lifeguards were present for the event, just in case any of the cadets fell into trouble. The senior cadets acted as trainers, recorders and demonstrators for the training, as they had already completed the training in years past. Rurup also noted the benefits of the water training. “It’s a fun thing, and it also provides skills you need as a leader or soldier,” Rurup said. “If you have the experience beforehand you won’t freak out if it happens to you in real life.” Not only that but it can be a source of enjoyment as well. “[The training] helps us [because it’s] kind of a confidence builder and fun stress reliever before break,” Rurup said. “This time of the year everyone’s tired, grouchy, ready for the semester to be done and this is one of our more fun labs, where cadets can get a release and quality training.”

sociology, expressed the timely importance of feminism. “I was raised by a woman who swears to god she’s not a feminist, yet she’s probably the most feminist person I’ve ever known,” Goebel said. When Goebel’s mother was a senior in high school, she had her eyes set on pursuing a college education. One day she met with her guidance counselor, who told her college was not a place for women. In response, his mother said, “watch me.” She went on to obtain her bachelor’s degree, master’s degree and had a successful career. While some people in the general population see feminism in a negative light, ISU students’ perspectives seem slightly more hopeful and optimistic. “I think the student body does have a generally negative view on feminism, but they’re also ready and willing to hear us out,” Klootwyk said. “Feminism is important because until we utilize all of our people, and realize everyone is important and has a special purpose, we’ll be wasting talent and gifts. We spend too much [time] on categorizing people. I think our generation is more willing to admit there’s truth to that.” Goebel admitted that being submerged in the women’s studies program makes him more optimistic than others. He discussed how Iowa State is overflowing with students and professors who are “warriors for the feminist movement.” Having celebrities who support feminism is important, but locality really goes the distance. “Feminism is about everyday acts of resistance,” Linduski said, “Personally, I defy gender norms politically, physically and in the ways I interact with the world. Feminism can be as simple as smiling at someone, sparking up conversation or standing up for someone.”

Ramen said the university has the data on the issues being raised, but would like to see administrators realistically begin to take action. When looking at issues of student experience, considering where minority and majority student experiences differ, Ramen said he thinks there are gaps that need to be addressed. He said he also thinks the university needs to be thinking about specific actions to make the experience better. “I thought that [today’s forum] was a good process,” Freeman said. “People who had concerns, people who felt passionate about some issues were able to raise them … I think we accomplished what we set out to do.”

Strategic Planning Steering Committee for consideration in the future. More questions were raised about timing for the subcommittees to receive feedback. Some in attendance said they wanted an honest conversation about the student experience and called for action to be taken, citing the large amount of research that has been done regarding the subjects discussed at the forum. “I think that we are data-rich and action-poor,” said Raj Ramen, professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering. “I think there is always a tendency to want to accumulate more data, especially as academics, [because] that’s something we are very comfortable doing.”

to talk to on campus,” said Matthew Fully, junior in sociology and member of the Black Student Alliance. “Some students are telling international students to ‘shut up’ because they don’t speak ‘good’ English.” Other students expressed their frustration and anger at the lack of support from the university administration and Student Government. “I am just trying to get from my apartment to class without being called a ‘wetback’, or getting dirty looks for speaking Spanish to my mother on the phone,” said Monica Diaz, junior in civil engineering. This meeting went beyond press time, and the full article has been posted online.

Syrian refugees rest on the floor of Keleti railway station. Columnist Snyder believes Iowa is just as much home for current refugees living in the state as it is for him and is willing to wholeheartedly welcome to Iowa any Syrian refugees seeking peace following the recent terror attacks in France.

Open the golden doors U.S. values crumble once we refuse entry for refugees By Stephen.Snyder @iowastatedaily.com The moral argument For the slew of governors who have made it known that they have no interest in having Syrian refugees in their states, I would like to offer an excerpt from a poem. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddles masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, the tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” So reads, in part, “The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus, which you will find inscribed at the feet of Lady Liberty. Lazarus, in her poem, gives the statue a different name: The Mother of Exiles. Not only is this name fitting of the statue, but it should also remain a pseudonym for our entire nation. As a direct result of the terror attacks in Paris, an unfettered wave of xenophobia has run rampant across our nation and in doing so, we, as Americans, run the risk of betraying many of our most valued principles. When France, our oldest ally, is subjected to such horrors, it is easy to see the potential for our own suffering encapsulated within. However, in the face of hardship and fear we must not shy away from our defining characteristics, but rather embrace them even more fervently. I am not saying that we have nothing to fear. In fact, I’m not even asserting that fear is a bad thing. Fear is instinctual. It is logical. Fear is also the very emotion that terror attacks are meant to incite. When we become reactionaries, we lose our capacity for sound reasoning, and a bandwagon approach to intolerance is not fitting of the American spirit. I say that because Americans are not hardhearted; we give generously to charitable organizations, often through money, to make the world a better place. But when we are quicker to our wallets than our hearts, we miss the very point of donation. That is by no means an indictment of those who donate because I know for a fact

that I am more likely to invest my money than my time, but it is all too easy to dismiss an issue when we are far away from it. This is about something more, this is about our humanity. As a matter of perspective, let us consider our worst days. For the United States, the 9/11 attacks took the lives of more than 2,000. For France, the Paris attack killed or critically injured several hundred people, and almost 50 were lost in Lebanon last week. Since the beginning of the civil war in Syria in 2011, more than 250,000 lives have been taken. I am not saying that any event or loss is more tragic than another, I am simply imploring the unwilling governors and indeed Americans at large to look on these victims not as our enemies, but as ourselves, because it is in our worst hours that we require the most empathy from others. I am particularly embarrassed by Gov. Terry Branstad’s inclusion on the list of frightened legislators seeking to keep refugees out of their states, not only because I disagree with him politically, but because Iowa has long been a place of inclusion that welcomes all as they are and because he is not representing the state of Iowa as I know it to be. Growing up in Des Moines and attending Theodore Roosevelt High School, I met young people whose families had immigrated, and sometimes fled, from all over the world. From Bosnia to Burma, from Somalia to Iraq, we were united not by where we came from but by the new geography we shared. According to The Des Moines Register, more than 1,700 refugees from at least 21 countries have settled in Iowa since 2012. A refugee “ban” in our state would cause so much more damage than to just Syrians because if the ban had been instituted three years ago, none of those people would be here. I love Iowa. I love Des Moines and I recognize that this place is no more my home than it is theirs. And I hope that someday soon I can share my state and my city with Syrians who are not seeking to make my home a dangerous place but rather a safe place to raise their families, a safety they have not known for many years. The legal and statistical argument Thankfully, the governors have no power to determine who is al-

lowed, or how many people are to be admitted to the United States. The number is determined each fiscal year by the president, in consultation with Congress, but the number can be changed given that a crisis occurs. What the governors can do is attempt to take money out of their budgets that had been previously allocated to support incoming refugees. Unfortunately for the governors, they cannot specifically single out Syrian refugees from other refugees, so if they reallocated those funds, they would be hurting potential refugees from every country. Additionally, once the refugees are granted asylum in the United States, there is no way for a governor to stop them from traveling to whichever state they choose. Of the 745,000 refugees that have come to the United States since Sept. 11, 2001, only two have been arrested on charges relating to terrorist activity, which proves that ignoring the plight of tens of thousands of refugees for fear of terrorist activity in the United States is an unfounded premise, and we would be immeasurably cruel to these victims. Quelling the fears of those who believe that extremists or militants could walk into the country unchecked is simple enough, as they need only to review the vetting process that each potential immigrant is put through to gain asylum in the United States. Their personal and family history is checked by government agencies, including the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security, the Defense Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. As you can see, it is by no means a walk-through. The hopefully obvious argument We are talking about human beings. These are people who find themselves in the most dire of circumstances and have, quite literally, nowhere else to turn. Our state is nothing without compassion and empathy. This entire country is nothing without its immigrants. And we are all lesser if we do not demand that as much as possible is done for these refugees, including, but not limited to, permanent asylum in the United States. And in the Iowa I know, all people seeking to live in peace will be welcomed wholeheartedly.

Day before break begins still counts; go to class There’s a special, nearly palpable, buzz of anticipation in the air on all the Fridays that arrive before any break from school. After weeks of classes, buses more akin to a sardine can, waiting in dining center lines so long that you have no time to eat and an ungodly number of tests and quizzes, there is not a single soul on this campus who isn’t looking ahead to Thanksgiving break with open arms. And we would surmise that the the stress level has been so high for everyone on this campus this semester that it isn’t even the thought of all the food we’ll get to eat over break that makes leaving so exciting. To be frank, we all just need a break from each other, which is why crossing the metaphorical finish line will feel especially wonderful this year. But first, of course, we all need to make it to — and through — the everanticipated Friday. During the week leading up to this day, the final day before most of campus will pack its bags and hit the road for home (and a well-deserved nap), all thoughts are on just getting to that Friday. It’s like running down the home stretch of a final lap, fighting with every ounce of energy just to make it to the end. We’re almost there, thankfully, but getting there doesn’t mean we’re done quite yet. Friday is still part of that final stretch. But, what a concept that is, going to class on a Friday before everyone vamooses. Perhaps it’s the collective off switch ISU students discover in the vicinity of their brain the day we all get to be done for a while that causes no one to want to go to class. But therein lies the problem: we aren’t quite done yet. Contrary to popular desire, there are in fact classes on Friday. And these classes are not to be ignored given the large number of ways different professors handle the dismal number of students who have historically chosen to show up. These range from the, ‘here is all the material you’ll need for the final’ type of professors to ‘let’s watch funny cat videos for an hour’ type of professors. Either way you slice it, there is no real way to ensure missing a class that final day won’t incur severe consequences. But even if the potential threat of missing out on material isn’t enough to encourage attendance, consider that final Friday as a capstone to all the work you’ve done so far. Then, of course, there is always the other option of not going. Whatever.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Candidates must address children’s issues By Barb Merrill executive director, Iowa Association for the Education of Young Children program manager Presidential hopefuls should share solutions for the multitude of issues facing children.

We want the candidates to address the challenges facing our children and working families — access to high-quality preschool, ensuring every child has health insurance, acknowledging a growing opportunity gap and lack of racial equity in education and other services, affordable and high quality child care; ensuring everyone

can attend college without incurring insurmountable debt and keeping our children and young adults safe from violence. Based on state and national polling, we know a majority of the population also cares about these issues. Before we choose a candidate to caucus for in February, we need to know his or her

plans for securing the future of all our nation’s kids and families. This campaign season, we are requesting that debate moderators ask the critical questions that will help all of us determine which candidates will receive our support. I need to know, because I caucus for kids.

From walk-on to starter

Nick Fett moves into starting lineup for ISU By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com

When he jogged out onto the field, Nick Fett had yet to play in a game — except for a special teams play here or there. Yet when Joel Lanning went to take the first snap against Oklahoma State last weekend, Fett was right there on the offensive line, ready to go. “It was awesome,” Fett said. “[There] was a lot of nerves hitting right there. As soon as the snap was done I kind of settled down and got into it and went from there.” Fett didn’t miss a beat, jumping in and helping move a commanding drive downfield — one that would eventually lead to a 24-yard touchdown run. For Fett’s first real game experience, a touchdown drive in less than two minutes was a pretty good start. “It was surreal,” Fett said. “Just the energy is flowing and you did your job. You got seven points, what you wanted, on the board. That’s why you’re

out there.” While the Cyclones eventually lost the game 35-31, the offensive line still accomplished one of its main goals. Running back Mike Warren ran for 73 yards against the Cowboys, bringing his season total past the coveted 1,000-yard mark. The accomplishment was achieved without the help of linemen Daniel Burton and Oni Omoile

— both of whom are still recovering from injuries. Fett, who replaced Omoile at guard, only learned about his new role as a starter the day before the game. Even with the shuffling on the line, offensive coordinator Todd Sturdy said he was impressed with how his linemen played. “I’m very proud of [Fett], and how all the kids handled it,” Sturdy said.

“But I’m proud of Nick and how he took advantage of an opportunity that was given to him. It’s a credit to him as a person.” Fett, a redshirt junior from Audubon, Iowa, started as a student who just wanted to attend Iowa State to pursue a degree in business agriculture. He had a pretty impressive high school career as a two-time letter winner and was named to the all-

district team as a senior. He also placed at state in both wrestling and golf. Despite his athletic accolades, Fett didn’t generate much interest from college football programs. He decided to try out for the ISU team in the fall of 2012, the start of his freshman year. “I had the size for it, and I love it, so I decided to tryout,” Fett said. Fett made it through the week-long tryout and officially walked onto the team that fall. He redshirted his initial season, and then spent the next year on the practice squad. Fett worked his way up onto the depth chart last season, where he was a backup tackle on the offensive line. For someone who walked onto the team, a move to the official depth chart can be a difficult one. Sturdy said it was Fett’s attitude that propelled him to that spot. “He’s a walk-on. He’s worked his way to where he’s at,” Sturdy said. “He always comes every day with a positive attitude. He pays attention in meetings. He got his moment, his opportunity, and he seized his moment. In sports, those kind of things are fun to watch.” Fett made the switch

from tackle to guard just three weeks ago to help compensate for Burton and Omoile’s injuries. But even though he was new to the position and had yet to take a real snap at Iowa State, coaches say Fett did just fine. “[Fett] graded out very well,” said head coach Paul Rhoads. “He was our colineman of the game. Matter of fact, he graded out at 82 percent on all 61 snaps that he played. [He] really played a heck of a ball game.” Coaches are still unsure whether Burton or Omoile will be able to play this weekend at Kansas State. Their health, Rhoads said, will determine how big of a role Fett will play against the Wildcats. Fett feels he showed coaches what he needed to against the Cowboys last week. Rhoads said he was impressed, and he even believes Fett will enter the spring season as a starting guard. “The big thing with [the Oklahoma State game] was that I feel like I showed I can be productive with our offense, and I can come in and play multiple positions,” Fett said. “Hopefully in the future, [I get] a scholarship, and for sure a starting spot. So we’ll see what happens.”

Hockey coach’s hard work pays off on ice Jason Fairman’s contributions spark new era By Austin.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com Jason Fairman sits in the igloo room at the ISU/ Ames Ice Arena and gazes to his left out toward a few dozen students on the ice participating in an ice skating course provided by Iowa State. Some skaters stumble, while others stand at center ice, laughing on their phones with the instructor looking on. “I’m just curious what they do for that class,” Fairman said. In a matter of minutes, Fairman will be on the ice as the instructor for his Cyclone Hockey students, but for now he waits. In his office, the wall directly across from Fairman is a mirror from top to bottom. It shows the reflection of the Cyclone Hockey head coach decked out in his dark grey Cyclone Hockey sweatshirt underneath his black winter coat. A red team winter cap covers his head as the two-year anniversary of becoming the head coach of Cyclone Hockey approaches within

the coming days. But Fairman never thought he would be sitting in this position, not only as the coach of one of the top teams in the American Collegiate Hockey Association, but even coaching hockey at all. When Fairman was a player, initially at Denver before transferring to Cornell of the Ivy League and eventually overseas to Norway, he didn’t imagine being where he is now, working 18 hours per day, seven days a week. Balancing the weight of more than 200 people in an organization as the general manager and head coach of Cyclone Hockey would be challenging for anyone. Now add his time spent in the classroom while he gets his doctorate in educational leadership on top of his Cyclone Hockey duties. “I’ve had taxing times in my life where I have to economize my time,” Fairman said. “This is certainly one of the most challenging times in my life.” His family and peers expected him to go into law because of his “silver tongue,” but he never had the passion for it. He had other goals he wanted to achieve, goals that he’s still trying to figure out. For a time, his goals were to go into business, which he did for a while.

At other times, his goals were to play professionally for an extended period of time, which seemed like a real possibility were it not for a nagging groin injury he suffered his freshman year at Denver. But his goals are now focused on his team and continuing to improve in the win column and beyond. “I just want Cyclone Hockey to be the best program it could possibly be and represent Iowa State in the best way it can,” Fairman said. “I want good hockey players, but I also want good students and good citizens.” Two years have passed since Cyclone Hockey players came to practice on a Tuesday in the middle of November and were subtly informed that the founder of Cyclone Hockey and coach for the previous 43 years, Al Murdoch, had retired mid-season. Fairman was in his first year with the team as an assistant coach and was elected to fill the void at head coach. “I think that the entire organization was ready to switch gears and head in a new direction,” said junior Chase Rey, who was a freshman on the team at the time of the coaching change. Two days later, the team boarded a plane and

flew down to Arizona to play the Arizona Wildcats in Fairman’s first series as head coach. It was the Wildcats’ “Teddy Bear Weekend,” meaning that the fans would throw a teddy bear onto the ice for charity after Arizona scored. The Cyclones shut out the Wildcats on both nights, earning Fairman’s first two wins as well as the game puck as he made sure no fuzzy, stuffed animals made their way onto the ice. The Cyclones went on to finish the season with a 36-10-4 record, the best record for the team in 15 years. A new era was beginning for Cyclone Hockey with Fairman at the helm. In the last two years, Fairman has accomplished his fair share of impressive accomplishments. He has finished the season ranked in the top 10 both seasons, scored the top recruit and top recruiting class in the ACHA and allowed the fewest goals in team history. Despite the success he has already enjoyed, Fairman said he is still two years away from getting the program where he wants it — the best it can possibly be. “He’s a go-getter,” Rey said. “When he wants something, he’s not afraid to go for it.” Fairman can be seen and heard throughout the

arena, expressing his displeasure with the referees during the course of games. His stern looks have been known to intimidate, and as a coach, he has taken over the role as a serious, no-nonsense guy. But he hasn’t always been this way. He even said that in his group of friends who he has known for years, he is considered the jokester. “I’m the cut up of my group,” Fairman said. “I bet if you ask most guys around the program, they wouldn’t think that. I wear a different hat, and there is a different side of my personality that comes out being the head coach that you wouldn’t see in my personal life.” The ice skating class finishes, and the mirror

across from Fairman reflects the man responsible for Cyclone Hockey success on nearly all levels. What the mirror doesn’t show is the responsibility Fairman has heaped on his shoulders. That weight is not only the current day-to-day operations of the program but also the maintenance of the legacy that more than 1,500 former Cyclone Hockey players carry around with them to this day. “There are a lot of different experiences and lessons that someone can gain from Cyclone Hockey,” Fairman said. “The older you get ,the more reflective you are, and I hope when these guys are older they will look back and say, ‘That was a good era for me.’”

AMES 24/7 Film asks, What matters?

Thursday, Nov. 19, 2015

Documentary says every life has meaning By Dalton.Gackle @iowastatedaily.com The documentary “What Matters?” premiered in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union on Nov. 12 and was followed by a discussion with the film’s creators. The film follows three friends, Dan Parris, David Peterka and Rob Lehr, as they hitchhike from the United States to Africa and then through Africa while trying to live on $1.25 a day. The trio wanted to see if they could experience the poverty that much of the world faces to find out how to work against poverty. The title of the film poses a question: What really matters in life? The answer? People matter. Life and relationships matter. “Throughout the course of this film, I realized that it’s people that matter,” said Rob Lehr, filmmaker and one of the three hitchhikers. “My religion is people and happiness at this point.” “What Matters?” director and creator Dan Parris and co-producer Rob Lehr discovered that life and people matter early in the journey when their fourman plane crashed, killing the pilot and co-pilot. As Parris and Lehr mourned the loss of their pilots, they realized the focus of their journey through Africa should be on the people and the relationships with those people. “We should be doing all our work with relationships,” Parris and Lehr agreed. “It’s just about knowing what people need.” From there, anyone can help battle poverty.

“Aid is like getting people to the first rung of a ladder,” Parris said. “What we need next is empowerment so people can climb the ladder, so stuff like education and microloans to help people take the next step is what can really help.” Parris emphasized that giving basic aid is sometimes helpful, but it is dangerous more often than not. “When you are helping people do something they could potentially do themselves, you are robbing them of dignity,” he said. The film focuses mostly on the extreme poverty that is widespread across Africa. Lehr warned the audience not to generalize Africans, however. “Most people look at Africa as one place and with one mindset,” he said. “Africa is so many different places and so many individual scenarios.” Parris said to really realize this, everyone needs to see for themselves. “People need to travel,” he said. “They will realize that the people elsewhere are just like us. They want the same things we do — like love, family, purpose and just to survive.” Parris added a quote by Mark Twain, who said, “The best cure for ignorance is travel and experience.” One thing all of the places in the film share is the innate optimism of the different African peoples. “Just walking around Africa and seeing how these impoverished people have such great faith, it kind of almost put my relationship with God to shame,” said Peterka, who is the third team member and creator of non-profit organization When the Saints. An interviewee in the film talked about how the wealthy people of the western world are often unhappy, while many of the African peoples evoke a sense

“What Matters?” director and creator Dan Parris, and co-producers David Peterka and Rob Lehr talk about the experience of making their documentary.

of happiness despite the extreme poverty. Peterka was able to capture that sense while fimling. “[Petereka] just takes the camera and puts it in the middle of life,” Lehr said. Peterka continued on through Africa with his brother Tim, who is an extra cameraman for the film, after Parris and Lehr had to return to the United States with injuries from the plane crash. He still wanted more answers to combat poverty. A simplified explanation to solving poverty is through the depth of work relating to basic aid versus full empowerment. “It’s an inch wide and a mile deep, not a mile wide an inch deep,” Parris said. “That’s what’s great about something like child sponsorship. It’s a holistic view on the child’s life and it even trickles down to the siblings.” Peterka believes that sponsorship is a great way to help people “climb the ladder” and focus on the relationships that truly matter. “Sponsorship is great because you really get to build a relationship by writing letters and sending gifts to a child that you will befriend and watch grow,”

he said. “It’s only like $38 a month, or about what you would spend on coffee in a month.” Peterka knows that small things such as loans are what will help because he is asking Africans what they need. His non-profit focuses on areas in Malawi, located in southeastern Africa. “I believe in ownership for Malawians,” Peterka said. “The committee for my non-profit is Malawians. Just about everything is run locally. They are right there, they know what the problems are, so they are the best people to deal with it.” Once businesses get started, there are still problems with industry and trade, however. “Africa doesn’t have the infrastructure or highway systems to trade among themselves, Parris said. “They want to be able to trade with each other.” Parris added that infrastructure issues such as roads are things that the United Nations are working on to help African countries. Peterka started his nonprofit to begin work related to poverty in Africa. Parris, for his part, started a film company, Speak

Up Productions, to get people to listen to issues and to spread messages. “How often can you just talk directly to someone for a couple hours and they don’t talk to anybody else or look at their phone?” Parris asked. “It’s like, wow, what a great way to spread a message.” Film is Parris’ way of using his talent to help others. “What I love about documentary filmmaking is that it tells real stories. You can get people fully engaged and start a conversation,” Parris said. In order to wrap up the film and end with discussion, Parris challenged the audience to answer a final question and follow their own talents as they decide what they want to do after college. “What breaks your heart and what makes you come alive?” Parris asked. “You know, an injustice you feel passionately about and then something you do that time just flies when you do it.” “At the intersection of those two things is where you’ll find your purpose.” For the full story, visit iowastatedaily.com.

Student Union Board is finalizing its Cyclone Cinema lineup for the upcoming spring semester . Cyclone Cinema codirectors Hannah Nation and Rob Hansen said SUB has been voting at its general meetings on movies it would like to see. So far, it has voted for “Star Wars: Episode VII,” “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2,” “Steve Jobs” and “The Martian.” “We play trailers for each movie that we are thinking about showing at the Student Union Board general meetings and we have the general members vote on what they would like to see,” Hansen said. Things Student Union Board takes into account when deciding what movies should be played at Cyclone Cinema include box office sales, reviews and public anticipation for the movies that are not yet released. “[For Cyclone Cinema], spring is normally more Academy Awardwinning or nominated films,” Nation said. “And then we try not to put too many of the same genre films back to back.” Hansen said the spring lineup should be announced sometime during winter break. The remaining movies for Cyclone Cinema this semester are “Southpaw” and “Fantastic Four.” Cyclone Cinema movies are shown at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. Thursday-Sunday nights in 101 Carver.

How to propose Add creativity when popping the big question By Pei Chi.Teh @iowastatedaily.com It was the morning of their three-year anniversary. Annelise Russell was still sitting on the couch in her pajamas, when Jake Lovett handed her the iPad and asked her to read it. It must be her anniversary gift, she thought. She looked at the iPad and discovered a two-page PDF with an intricate story recording the moments when they first met, detailed paragraphs of everything Lovett loves about her and challenges that they’ve gotten through hand-inhand. At the very end of the PDF, the last line read: “Will you marry me?” Lovett and Russell first met at the College Media Convention in 2011, when Lovett was working as the editor-in-chief of the Iowa State Daily and Russell was a news editor of the Oklahoma Daily at the University of Oklahoma. After dating for three years, Lovett decided to pop the question. “Well, I thought about having a friend of hers who had the key to our apartment to come up one night while we were out at dinner to set up some flowers, candles and all that romantic stuff but [Russell’s] sister suggested me to write a news story, so I designed a couple pages [to propose],” Lovett said. It seemed perfect because Lovett was skilled in writing and designing. “The surprise factor was a plus,” Russell said. “It was adorable and cute and I loved it. After I read to the very end I just looked at him. I waited for him to say something and when he actually asked me, I said yes. I don’t think there was any hesitation in my voice.” Designing newspaper

pages to propose probably isn’t for everyone, so here are seven other creative ways you can propose to your significant other. Geeky proposal From video games to the latest gadgets, it’s not hard to find a little bit of geekiness in everyone. If you’re a geeky couple belonging to a certain fandom, try geeking up the box or the ring. “Doctor Who” fans are in luck as a TARDIS engagement ring box is available for sale on etsy.com. The Pokeball engagement ring box is also available for Pokemon fans. Besides, you can actually order engraved rings with your recorded sound wave such as, ‘Yes, I do,’ from Japanese artist and engraver Sakurako Shimizu. To step up the geeky game, you can even propose in binary code or a secret cipher that your significant other can understand. A retro games and collectors community website, RetroCollect, showed a gamer using a Super Mario hack to pose a proposal. Scavenger hunt proposal What better way to propose than to make your significant other search for it? Although it takes more effort to prepare, it’ll make the proposal unforgettable for your fiancé-to-be. According to mashable. com, LinkedIn employee Bryan Haggerty developed an entire treasure hunt iPhone app for his elaborate proposal that sent his girlfriend around San Francisco with her route forming a heart shape. At the last stop, she found Haggerty waiting for her, ring in hand, at the top of a hill. Video proposal Creating a video for your other half may make the proposal more personalized. No one is going to have the exact same video. Plus, you’ll be able to show

it to your grandchildren. In one of many YouTube proposal videos Matt Still tells his girlfriend Ginny he has to work on a Saturday and gets Ginny’s brother to take her see the movie “Fast Five” at a local cinema. He created a trailer that shows him asking for her father’s blessing and rushing to the theater, before appearing in real life to the complete surprise of his girlfriend. Special moments proposal If you haven’t seen the latest Extra gum commercial titled “The Story of Sarah & Juan,” which went viral. It’s about high school sweethearts, whose first interaction comes when Sarah offered Juan a stick of gum. It was shown that Juan always had the habit of keeping the gum wrapper. In a final act twist, Juan invites Sarah to a private gallery, where a series of Extra chewing gum wrappers adorn the walls. Each wrapper presents a sketch of everything they’ve done together. The last wrap shows a drawing of a man proposing to a woman, and when Sarah turned around, Juan was sure enough on one knee, holding out a ring. If you’re looking to propose in a way that nobody else has done before, incorporating a specific item that reminds you and your significant other about your relationship can make your proposal remarkable. Bookworm proposal Try hiding the ring in a book if your significant other loves to read. Get a new copy at the bookstore, or you might get into trouble for hollowing out his or her favorite book. According to The Guardian, Lloyd England from London used a copy of a book titled “Marriage Material” to propose to his girlfriend. He wrote the line, “Will you marry me?” and cut away the pages in the

shape of a heart to reveal a ring. He chose it because it was a book on his girlfriend’s reading list. Puzzle proposal Pop the question by spelling it out during game night. Whether you’re in the middle of an intense Scrabble battle, or just finishing it, this is a sweet way to get your significant other to marry you. According to The Washington Post, Corey Newman had been trying to figure out how to propose to his girlfriend Epstein and got the idea after watching her sit immersed solving a crossword puzzle. With the help of a veteran crossword

creator in The Washington Post, he created a crossword puzzle specifically for his girlfriend and managed to get it in the newspaper. Epstein didn’t realize what the plan was until she came across clue 51, which had the answer, “Will you marry me.” At that moment, Newman pulled out a diamond ring and got down on one knee before repeating the words back to her. Song proposal Surprise your bride or groom-to-be with a sweet serenade. If you’re not vocally inclined, you can get your family and friends to help you in a live lip-dub proposal too.

In YouTube video “The 19:57 from Euston,” Adam King ambushed his partner with a 25-person singing marriage proposal on her commute from work. The unusual proposition began when one traveller in the carriage began to sing “Lovely Day” by Bill Withers. Before long, two-thirds of the fellow passengers had joined in with the hit tune. Little did she know that the impromptu vocalists were in fact members of the Adam Street Singers, of which her husband is a member. After this had gone on for some time, King emerged and asked her to marry him.
