A meeting that almost wasn’t

Matt Campbell is introduced as the new ISU head football coach during a press conference Monday. Campbell amassed a 35-15 record as the head coach of the Toledo Rockets from 2012-2015.

Matt Campbell lands job as new ISU head football coach

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Matt Campbell and the Toledo Rockets arrived early to Jack Trice Stadium two years ago — a little too early.

The team and most of the coaches hopped off of the bus and headed down into the locker room to start getting ready for their game against the Cyclones. Campbell did not.

Instead, he took a walk.

Campbell went out into the parking lots, just to explore. He saw hundreds of ISU fans tailgating, having a good time. He saw the ISU football team and coach Paul Rhoads get off of their team bus and walk through hundreds of fans during their

weekly “spirit walk.”

But most importantly, he saw something he’d never seen before.

“I don’t know what sparked me that day,” Campbell said. “I think it was just being blown away by what I saw. I’ve played in some great venues and some great places, but I’m really impressed with this.”

The Rockets eventually fell to the Cyclones that day two seasons ago, but that didn’t matter.

The impression was made.

And as Campbell led his team back up the ramp from the locker room to the busses, he noticed something else. Everyone was still there.

Latino organization supports ISU president

By Adam.Sodders @iowastatedaily.com An Ames-based Latino community organization praised President Steven Leath for his recent rhetoric on race issues at Iowa State in a statement Monday.

Latinos Unidos for Change (LUCHA) released a three-point response to Leath’s Nov. 20 letter to the university discussing racism

and calling for conversation.

“We really like that [Leath] made a public statement right before [Thanksgiving] break,” said Juan Duchimaza, graduate student in chemistry and LUCHA member.

In his letter, Leath discussed the existence of racism, bigotry and discrimination on college campuses in society. He also said ignoring the presence of negative attitudes at Iowa State would not help anyone.

The LUCHA statement also referred to the Sept. 30 public forum that took place between Leath and multicultural students. “[The forum] showed that [Leath] was willing to listen to the concerns of student of color,” Duchimaza said. “I believe that for President Leath to be willing to listen is a great step.”

The release also praised the appointment of ISU police officer Dwight Hinson as Multicultural

Student Affairs liaison. It noted that LUCHA looks forward to working with Hinson and opening conversations about race and ethnicity. Another topic mentioned was the requested diversity training for faculty, staff and students. “[LUCHA] would not ask [for diversity training] if we didn’t feel there was a genuine and urgent need,” the release reads.

The release mentioned concerns surrounding diversity train-

ing, including time-consumption and making some participants uncomfortable.

Duchimaza said he is excited for a more open discussion about race and ethnicity at Iowa State.

Leath’s willingness to speak on such issues is important, he said.

“It’s good to know there is something happening,” Duchimaza said. “Coming from the president, the rhetoric carries a lot of weight.”

Former international student Professor performs joins Ames Police Department surgery on puppy

By Tara.Larson @iowastatedaily.com One Ames police officer is finally living his dream.

Officer Dilok Phanchantraurai came to America from Bangkok, Thailand, as an international student when he was 24 years old. He moved to Arkansas to pursue his master’s degree at Arkansas State University after obtaining his first degree in business administration in Thailand.

Phanchantraurai moved to Ames to work for Iowa State in 2007, where he worked as an adviser for international students. He stayed in this position until 2014.

This past August, Phanchantraurai began working for the Ames Police Department as an officer.

“I was planning on getting my master’s and then going home,” Phanchantraurai said. “Instead of studying my graduate studies right away I got my second bachelor’s degree [in marketing] and then my master’s degree in business administration. Then I received my doctorate degree there as well in educational leadership.”

Although Phanchantraurai pursued most of his schooling

in business, he thought adding education might be an interesting path as well.

“Arkansas State at that time didn’t have as many majors for Ph.D. and I wanted to try and see if I could do it,” Phanchantraurai said. “During my time before that in Arkansas, I worked as a graduate assistant in an international office, and I really enjoyed working there.

I thought instead of going out into the business world and looking for a job, maybe I would see if I could get a degree in education and stay in the university setting.”

He finished his degree and began job hunting.

“After I finished my Ph.D., I went to work in Michigan at Wayne State University for about a year and a half or so, but then decided to come to Iowa because of job opportunity,” Phanchantraurai said.

Phanchantraurai worked with many international students while at Iowa State, helping them get visas issued, adjust to the culture and arrange classes, among multiple other miscellaneous jobs.

When Phanchantraurai began working as an international student adviser, he said he felt very comfortable working in that type of job, being an international

student himself and working with the students in Arkansas.

“Switching that role of becoming an adviser from a student was not hard at all,” Phanchantraurai said. “Being there and being able to share my own experience was something I enjoyed very much.”

Some of his former colleagues said he was a great co-worker.

AMES PD p8

One puppy was expected to only live a year because of a heart problem, but thanks to Dr. Jessica Ward and some new technology, it is now predicted to have a full life.

Ward, assistant professor of veterinary clinical sciences, performed a surgery called an exclusion of a patent ductus arteriosus, or PDA, on a 7-month-old puppy in September.

The puppy, named Carmen, had a congenital heart disease, which can lead to an abnormal connection between the aorta and the pulmonary artery.

Ward, who has been working at Iowa State since Sept. 15, brought her cardiac specialties from North Carolina State University, where she worked for the past 15 years. She has only performed this specific surgery on one animal at Iowa State but is looking forward to more.

The surgery began by Carmen going under general anesthesia and laying on her side. A long catheter was inserted into her groin and eventually into her femoral artery, which led to the heart. The

catheter then released some dye so the heart was more visible.

Next, the size of the PDA was measured so Ward could know which size of device to insert into the heart. The device is two small disks connected by a small piece.

It is called an ACDO, or Amplatz Canine Ductal Occluder.

The device was then inserted into the heart by twisting the catheter while the device expanded from that and eventually detached and was in the heart.

The device basically plugs a small hole causing the heart problems. It will likely stay in Carmen’s heart her whole life.

The surgery took about an hour and a half and was recorded on a camera that displayed Carmen’s heart during the surgery.

Carmen was lucky enough to have a successful surgery. She went home the next day and is anticipated to live a normal dog’s life expectancy. “[Carmen] had no problems with her surgery,” said Barbara Reynolds, Carmen’s owner. “Dr. Ward was wonderful to work with.

She was very caring and couldn’t have done any better than if it were

Ames reaches top College town named best in United States

By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com The American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) recently released a study on college destinations that names Ames as the best college town in the United States.

The study, which was released Nov. 23, ranked the top college towns with a population under 250,000 in the country. Iowa City was ranked third on the list, with Ithaca, N.Y., in second.

“In its 2015/2016 College Destinations Index, the cities that ranked highest overall in each city size category were San Francisco; San Jose, Calif.; Boulder, Colo.; and Ames, Iowa,” according to the press release from AIER. The press release stated the annual ranking is

based on 11 criteria “that gauge each area’s cultural and economic qualities.”

These 11 criteria are youth unemployment rate, share of college-educated population, economic vitality, STEM workers, price of rent, public transportation, availability of arts and entertainment, employees in cultural institutions, clubs and restaurants, cost of living (minus rent) and diversity.

The study also ranked three categories of metros: major, midsize and small.

NEWS Kasich meets with students

Monday, Dec. 1, 2015

By Madison.Tuttle @iowastatedaily.com John Kasich said he spoke with a Story County sheriff before his townhall style meeting with students and Ames residents Monday in the Memorial Union, which caused him to open up the event by talking about mental illness in America.

The Republican presidential candidate talked to attendees sitting in a circle about a variety of topics and also fielded questions from people in attendance.

“We have a problem with the mentally ill,” Kasich said. “We don’t mind talking about the fact that I have a broken arm, but we don’t want to talk about the fact that something is not working right in my noggin.”

Kasich said that while we have improved the national dialogue on mental health, the United States still needs to work on finding programs that can further assist people with mental illnesses.

He also talked about the severity of drug addiction, telling students they “cannot get [themselves] involved” in drug use. Kasich spoke about the addictive qualities of opiates such as heroin, and how they destroyed the lives of some members of his community in Ohio.

Kasich then went on to speak about foreign policy issues such as ISIS, saying that “they are at war with our way of life.”

He called for a coalition of countries, led by the United States, to come together and destroy ISIS. Sean McAllister, an attendee who traveled to Ames for the event, asked Kasich if he would fully fund foreign aid programs that fight aids, tuberculosis and Malaria, including a humanitarian organization in Africa.

“I can’t tell you if I would fully fund something because I don’t know what the cost is,” Kasich said, adding that a lot of programs are not efficient or ef-

fective, but he did not totally discount the idea of foreign aid.

McAllister said that while he liked Kasich’s approach and that he felt Kasich was being himself while he was talking, he was disappointed that Kasich did not know a lot about the foreign aid program he asked about.

McAllister said that when he asked Republican presidential candidates Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio the same question, they both said they would support a bill to fully fund the program.

Robert Dunn, senior in accounting, asked Kasich how Republicans would keep their conservative base and how the party can attract more voters by staying true to those values.

Kasich said he believes that the Republican Party should stick to their promise of fiscal conservatism.

“Lower taxes because when you have money in your pocket, you’ve got the power,” Kasich said. “The best government is the government closest to us.”

He added that a “one size fits all mentality” on government programs prevents productivity in communities.

Kasich also said the government can’t over regulate because it deters small businesses owners and entrepreneurs, and that Americans want to believe in free enterprise.

Khayree Fitten, junior in political science who is the chairman of the Students for Kasich group, said he believed the event went well.

Kasich mingled with attendees after the event, shaking hands, answering questions and taking photos.

Speaking to a group of reporters after the event, Kasich made his first indepth comments about the shooting that took place last Friday at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado.

“It seems to be another case of a loner, and mental illness and [someone who is] deeply disturbed,” Kasich said.

“States are going to have to do their job in being able to communicate this as they are suppose to under the law.

It’s just horrible to think about these

people going anywhere with these guns, wherever they are, and shooting innocent people. We need to be able to be sure who these people are so they cannot get their hands on firearms.”

When asked about his poll numbers, which have hovered at just a few percentage points in Iowa, Kasich said his campaign will continue along and he will continue in the race past the Iowa Caucus, which is currently scheduled for Feb. 1.

“My [campaign is] not dependent on national polls, and I have not really spent all the time I would have liked to in Iowa,” Kasich said. “I’m in the

top-tier in New Hampshire, it’s going well. We think it’s going well here with voter identification and we’re in this.”

“We’re fine, and you’ll see us for a long time,” he added.

Kasich’s event Monday was a part of the Presidential Caucus Series, which has already hosted Carly Fiorina, Rand Paul and Rick Santorum this cycle.

The event was sponsored by the Committee on Lectures, the ISU College Republicans and Student Government.

Training helps create more welcoming community

By Ellen.Bombela @iowastatedaily.com Everybody, no matter what their gender identity, sexual identity or gender expression might be, should always be able to feel safe, especially on their own college campuses.

This is the motto of the LGBT Student Services, which is trying to help make people feel safe at Iowa State by providing the Safe Zone program.

The Safe Zone program varies its focus from school to school.

“The way we [at Iowa State] come at it is thinking

about how we can make our campus inclusive and welcoming to people all over the spectrum of gender and sexuality,” said Clare Lemke, student services specialist in the Dean of Students Office.

The Safe Zone training program sessions, which people can register for online, are led by Lemke and Brad Freihoefer, director of LGBT Student Services.

“We really try to make it as interactive as possible,” Lemke said. “We have different activities that walk people through the concepts of sexuality, sex (biological) and gender. Safe Zone 101 is really about, at

the personal level, how do we address and acknowledge our own personal biases that we have when we interact with people in our everyday life.”

Once Safe Zone 101 is completed, participants will be sent a link and have the option to create an action plan covering how they will help create safe spaces for staff, students and community members around them.

Upon completing the action plan, Student Services will send the participant a placard that they can display if they wish to show that they are providing a safe space.

Lemke said that although the training is for getting people information and resources around campus to help them, Student Services is also open to the idea of having sessions that are specific to a certain group of people.

For example, there is diversity training on gender and sexuality that is mandatory for ISU Police officers. Although it is not Safe Zone training, Lemke said the content is very similar, aside from the fact that the scenarios presented were specific to law enforcement.

“It was a case where every single scenario was specific to law enforcement,

whereas in our regular Safe Zone 101 training we have scenarios that are specific to a lot of different people,” Lemke said.

Lt. Josh Hale of ISU Police participated in the mandatory training for ISU Police officers.

“It provides information and kind of a personal connection to people that have different identities and to be able to understand some of the struggles that they go through, and also to be able to productively work with them and provide the services that our department provides to anybody regardless of their gender identity or sexual

orientation,” Hale said.

Everyone is encouraged not only to participate in the training but also continue to practice what they learn and apply it to their everyday lives.

“The training is not intended to be a one-time thing that individuals complete and then walk away from,” Lemke said. “That is why we include the action plan to help participants commit to initial actions they will take in what hopefully will be a life-long commitment to creating welcoming and inclusive spaces for people of all gender identities, sexual identities and gender expressions.”

GPSS discusses senate structure, Student Government referendum

By Mitchel.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com The Graduate and Professional Student Senate met Monday and discussed senate structure and a possible fee increase to fund renovations to the Memo-

rial Union.

GPSS has been going over how to properly represent every graduate and professional student for several years now.

The GPSS constitution says that each senator is to be selected by their graduate and professional de-

partment. However, some majors intertwine with several departments, and some students are being underrepresented in the sense that they don’t belong to a specific department.

“We’ve discussed a variety of options to correct the issue that has been

known for a while,” said GPSS President Zack Zenko.

“Those options require a constitutional change, so we’ve formed a committee to discuss this issue more in depth and offline in terms of senate time.”

A constitutional change would require an

amendment by GPSS senators to be voted on during an upcoming meeting.

The officers are currently looking to resolve the longstanding issue by the spring of 2016.

“We have four members on the committee, so I’m really excited and

I think we can finally find some sort of solution,” said Bharat Agrawal, GPSS’s chief information officer. “It will be significant because I hear this issue has been going on for quite a while.

NEW COACH p1 “I went out in the parking lot, and nobody left,” Campbell said. “They were still having a great time. I just said, ‘This place is really neat.’”

Campbell then called his wife Erica to explain what had happened — and that he could envision living in Ames one day. In fact, he even told Erica that if the ISU job ever became available, it was the one he wanted.

“As the game ended, we left. Before I got on the bus, I made that phone call,” Campbell said. “I told my wife, I said, ‘Erica, you’re not going to believe this place. It’s incredible.

The culture, the fans, the facilities, the people — this is a really special place.’”

On Monday, athletic director Jamie Pollard officially introduced Campbell as the new head coach of the ISU football team.

The job he envisioned two seasons ago was finally his.

-More than a dozen head coaching jobs remain open among Division I schools this season — including ones at some of the nation’s perennial football powerhouses such as Georgia, Miami and South Carolina.

But Pollard doesn’t have that problem anymore.

“This week and next week will be very stressful for many directors of athletics,” Pollard said. “It’s going to be really fun to sit back and watch and enjoy all of that, because we found our man.”

Pollard had his sights set on the 36-year-old coach almost instantly after deciding to part ways with Rhoads nearly two weeks ago.

There was a problem, though. Campbell still had a game to play.

“We thought Matt wasn’t going to be able to meet,” Pollard said. “He’s a high-character person. He said he would absolutely not meet before Toledo played its last game. I tried every, every possible way to not have that be the case, but he remained steadfast in that belief.”

Toledo fell to Western Michigan last Friday night, marking the end of the Rockets’ season. After the game, Campbell knew it was time to start looking into Iowa State.

Pollard, who was in Detroit at the time, quick-

Matt Campbell filled the ISU coaching vacancy, but more than a dozen other universities across the country still have to find a new coach, including Georgia, South Carolina and Miami.

ly set up a meeting with Campbell and Erica, and they sat down the very next day. They spent several hours together, talking about the job and just getting to know each other. By the end, Pollard said it was simple.

“Matt looked at Erica, they quickly talked about it — they had heard everything they needed to hear,” Pollard said. “He reached his hand across the table and shook my hand.

We hadn’t even talked about compensation yet.

He said, ‘I want to be the Cyclones’ football coach.’

That doesn’t happen in this day and age, folks.”

As Campbell and Pollard left that meeting room, both would consider it a success. For Campbell, he had the job he had dreamed about. And for Pollard, the hard part was over. He had his man.

“It’s been a whirlwind of a 72 hours,” Campbell said. “[Pollard] hit the nail on the head. It’s been crazy. But fate has led us here.

I am beyond thankful and beyond grateful to be the next leader of this football program.”

-The move to fire Rhoads two weeks ago may have gone over well with fans and those outside the program, but those inside the program didn’t necessarily feel the same way.

Wide receiver Allen Lazard, an Iowa native and a Rhoads recruit, was still dealing with the decision on Sunday — and wasn’t entirely happy with it.

“I’m still disappointed with the whole thing,” Lazard said. “I’m still trying to soak in the whole thing with coach Rhoads leaving, but it’s time to turn the

corner and hit the ground rolling.”

Lazard, along with running back Mike Warren, quarterback Joel Lanning and others, attended Campbell’s introductory press conference Monday.

They wanted to hear what he had to say and gain a first impression of their new coach.

And after hearing both Campbell and Pollard speak, they liked what they heard.

“Sitting in here and listening to him talk the whole time, he said some great things,” Lanning said.

“He’s going to get us in the right direction.”

Pollard thought so too, even getting briefly emotional while listening to Campbell address the media. He said he hit a home run with Campbell, and that his character is what separates him from the rest.

“There’s not a person that we talked to that could say one bad thing about Matt Campbell,” Pollard said. “We wanted a winner. I said this about the basketball search. Find me someone who wins, and they’ll win again.

“The end of the season has mattered in every season of his life, and we plan on having it that way going forward.”

Pollard, Lazard and even Rhoads said they expect next year’s football team to be playing in the postseason — and all seem behind Campbell as the man to lead the team to its first bowl game since 2012.

It’ll take more than just a patch job to accomplish that, though, and Campbell knows that. He said he doesn’t plan on Ames just being a pit stop for him and

his family.

He’s here to stay.

“This place is special.

I’m as loyal as you’re going to get,” Campbell said.

“I really believe that the building process in taking something and making it special is what I love to do.

That’s not a short-term fix.

You’re not going to see a short-term fix by me or my staff. I’m here for the long haul … quite honestly, I look forward to raising my family here in Ames.”

And even though the process of hiring a new coach has been difficult, Lanning said he and the rest of the team are ready to buy in to what Campbell is going to bring to the table.

“Everyone on this team kept an open mind,” Lanning said. “We’re obviously going to let the new coach come in and give him a chance. He deserves that chance. Obviously, he’s had success where he’s been at, and we’re going to embrace it.”

Campbell said it’s still too early to get into the specific changes and tweaks he plans to make. In the meantime, though, his focus is going to be just getting to know his new team and hiring his new staff.

And while he officially gets things going in the coming weeks, one thing is for sure — he’s all in.

“From this day forward, every decision that I make will be strained to bring greatness to the fans, alumni, community, the great students and the great student-athletes that I get a chance to coach on a day-in and day-out basis,” Campbell said. “I’m truly honored to be a Cyclone, and I’m truly honored and humbled to be the head football coach here.”

dents by major, but graduate students by department.

Agrawal needs the registrar to list graduate students by major in order to determine how many students need representation on GPSS. Zenko also called at-

tention to the possibility of a referendum involving a potential fee increase for all students to go toward Memorial Union renovations and repairs. The referendum would go out to the entire student body, and

Zenko encouraged GPSS members to look forward to and take part in the conversation.

The next GPSS meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

Jan. 25 in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union.

Going forward, Campbell will attempt to meet with every player on the team in the next couple of days and have a one-on-one discussion. He said during the weekend that it wasn’t about him coming to Iowa State, it was about the players.

That’s how he turned around a Toledo team that

had struggled in the MidAmerica Conference before he arrived in 2009. He trusted the players and the players trusted him back.

“Kids don’t know how much you know until they know how much you care about them.”

Campbell said every choice he makes for the rest of his ISU coaching career

will center around the fans, community, and most importantly, his players.

“I’m going to be diligent,” Campbell said. “I’m going to do a really good job in making sure [I’m] putting the right people here.

Our football players here deserve the right people, and I’m going to work hard to do that.”

Misrepresenting evolution Intelligent design supporters offer no evidence for beliefs Editors Note: This column is part three in a series of columns about how creationism has negatively affected the scientific world and the United States.

By Michael.Heckle @iowastatedaily.com

A

lthough proponents of creationism spend most of their time attempting unsuccessfully to poke holes into the theory of evolution, what they don’t seem to realize is the default claim is not something supernatural.

The idea of intelligent design itself goes against the scientific method. It starts with the claim that the Earth was created by some god-like figure, instead of any real observation of the natural world. The few affirmative claims that creationists do make are neither based in fact nor reality.

There is no accepted scientific theory of intelligent design.

According to The Discovery Institute, “intelligent design begins with the observation that intelligent agents produce complex and specified information (CSI). Design theorists hypothesize that if a natural object was designed, it will contain high levels of CSI.” To prove this, proponents of intelligent design attempt to use the argument of specified complexity.

To qualify something as specified

and complex information, the information must be specified and complex. DNA, for example, is often used in an attempt to provide some sort of validity to intelligent design. Since there are billions of DNA base pairs and they are also species-specific, DNA can be considered complex and specified information.

Creationists fail to explain why that automatically implies an ultimate designer like a god. Just the existence of complex and specific information does not make it evidence for a creator.

The argument of irreducible complexity is also used in conjunction with specified complexity.

Irreducible complexity states that certain biomechanical structures in the observable world are too well paired to be explained by evolution.

While Darwin himself admitted that natural selection would crumble if irreducible complexity were to be found, scientists today better understand the mechanisms of evolution.

A common claim of irreducible complexity is the presence of bacterial flagellum in certain bacteria. The bacterial flagellum is used in some bacteria as a swimming mechanism.

Michael Behe, a biochemist at Lehigh University, argues that this is a clear example of irreducible complexity.

However, in order for a system to be irreducibly complex, every part of that system must be necessary, so much so that taking only one part away will cause the system to completely fall apart. In addition, if an irreducibly complex system is made up of smaller parts, all of those parts must have no other function.

Some bacteria also use a subset of the bacterial flagellum to inject toxins and chemicals into other cells and proteins.

No true example of irreducible complexity has ever been found, and most scientists entirely reject the concept.

Even if scientists found evidence of CSI or irreducibly complex systems, proponents of creationism would still be left holding an empty bag. All of these lines of evidence only attempt to show that other forces besides evolution are at play. This does not mean that such a force is either intelligent or impermeable.

Furthermore, no actual evidence of any other sort of force has ever been found. The theories themselves lack credibility as well since they are untestable.

Those that are testable, such as irreducible complexity, have been refuted by evidence. Supporters of and believers in intelligent design seem to recognize the scientific inaccuracies of their deceptive theory as they rarely publish on intelligent design in established scientific journals. Additionally, they refuse to modify their theory in accordance with evidence.

Advocates for intelligent design organize themselves into a community devoted to their ideas and not to the truth.

So far, there has been no research done by intelligent design advocates that has led to any scientific discovery.

The majority of creationists’ arguments and research are not only unscientific but also misrepresent the actuality of evolution.

This blatant dishonesty is in no way science.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Respect Dia de los Muertos meaning Ricky Corona Senior in civil engineering and president of Mexican-American Achievers Society (MAYAS)

“Isn’t Day of the Dead the same as Halloween? I mean you guys paint skulls on your faces right?”

I have heard these two questions many times, and I can see why people might associate Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) with Halloween and vice versa.

While these two holidays almost overlap in date, it is important to understand that they are different in many ways. While the tradition of Halloween is to wear costumes and go around the neighborhood trick-or-treating, Dia de los Muertos is a day to honor those deceased loved ones and to also share the things they once loved.

It doesn’t bother me if people don’t know the difference between Dia de los Muertos and Halloween. What does bother me is when people think it’s acceptable to use part of my culture to give “swag” to clothing apparel that isn’t even used to promote my heritage. To make things even worse, people here at Iowa State used part of my

Candy skulls sit in a shop for Dia de los Muertos, which is a holiday that honors the lives of deceased loved ones.

culture to promote their “homecoming spirit,” which has no ties to Dia de los Muertos.

Not everyone is aware about the incident that occurred with three ISU greek chapters that sold shirts with the calavera (sugar skull) on it. The calavera isn’t just a skull. For many of us, these wonderful pieces of art have an emotional attachment that can’t simply be put into words.

For this reason, students

organizations host events to inform people about what cultural appropriation is and how to genuinely appreciate cultures. The greek organizations involved in this incident were invited to attend an event hosted by the Mexican-American Young Achievers Society (MAYAS) that would help them understand the difference between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation.

Despite the cold and gloomy weather that was present that day, the MAYAS community and other fellow allies gathered together at the free-speech zone to distribute flyers that talked about this issue. These student organizations that were invited did not attempt to learn about us, Latinos, or even show up to the event to educate themselves and their people about sensitive issues.

To those organizations that don’t understand the significance behind the calavera, let me give you a brief explanation.

Dia de los Muertos is celebrated on Nov. 1 and 2. This holiday has roots from the Catholic All Souls’ day and also roots from Aztec and other indigenous beliefs. While Dia de los Muertos is mostly celebrated in Mexico, other Latin countries and some

parts of the United States have adopted this culture as well.

Preparation for this Holiday begins a couple of days before the actual event. During that time, families decorate altars as a form of guiding the soul of the deceased back to their home.

Nov. 1 is the day used to celebrate those children that have passed away. During this day, altars are typically decorated with candy and toys the child used to love playing with. On Nov. 2, the souls of the adults are believed to come out and accompany their families. Adult altars will typically have food the deceased enjoyed and a nice cold beer.

While altars for children and adults vary with decorations, there are a couple of things that they all have in common. Altars are decorated with vibrant colors, marigolds, a glass of water, candles, salt and calaveras.

Calaveras are decorated with bright colors and the name of the deceased person the sugar skull is made for will oftentimes be written across the forehead.

One key thing to remember about the sugar skulls, about our sugar skulls, is that it’s all about celebrating the life of a loved one. Our sugar skulls are not used to be a trendy icon, much less to celebrate homecoming.

Remove stigma attached to HIV, STIs Thinking positively about a positive HIV diagnosis is something of a foreign idea. Being diagnosed as HIV positive — or with any sexually transmitted infection (STI) for that matter — has a strong negative stigma attached. Having HIV or an STI is so stigmatized that the truth gets buried by the myths and falsities surrounding it.

That served as inspiration for 2015 World AIDS Day; to throw out old ideas about what it means to be HIV positive.

While this one day does stand for a lot, it’s the other 364 days of the year that need the same courtesy.

They are what will make it clear that anyone from anywhere living any lifestyle could contract HIV or an STI, not the stigmatized idea of who has or what it means to be a person living with a positive diagnosis.

There is also a huge paradigm when it comes to HIV that seeking help for treatment will make a person look bad, but as the slogan for this year’s AIDS Day campaign sums up perfectly, “kissing and hugging doesn’t spread HIV. Ignorance does.” It’s in the fear of being judged for getting tested or seeking treatment that the virus continues to spread.

In essence, it’s the long-standing negative idea of what it means to be HIV positive that perpetuates the virus, not the virus itself.

On a global scale, World AIDS Day is doing its part to lower stigmas when it comes to a positive diagnosis, but on our own campus the services offered for those diagnosed with HIV or an STI are playing a role as well.

Thielen Student Health Center provides HIV testing for both men and women as well as a space in which students can ask questions when it comes to maintaining their sexual health.

Checkups, screenings and treatments are available for any sexually transmitted infection.

The World AIDS Day website says that there are only three ways that a person could contract or transmit HIV: through sharing dirty needles, a mother-to-child transmission or unprotected sex.

Free condom distribution takes place Wednesdays and Thursdays on campus in order to promote safe sex.

Condoms can also be found in residence halls, greek chapters and other offices around campus, including the Thielen Student Health Center.

In honor of World AIDS Day, Iowa State will screen the documentary ‘Blood Brother’ in which a college student contracts AIDS in India.

The showing is at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the South Ballroom of the Memorial Union.

Taking advantage of the services on campus and becoming educated about how HIV and STIs are actually transmitted, whom they could impact and the treatments available are all included in ending the stigma when it comes to a positive diagnosis.

ISU head football coach Matt Campbell is welcomed by ISU Athletic Director Jamie Pollard during Campbell’s introductory press conference at the Bergstrom Athletic Complex on Monday.

Lani Tons/Iowa State Daily

Coach emphasizes process Matt Campbell says it will take time to turn Cyclones around

By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com After a several-hour interview with ISU Athletic Director Jamie Pollard and the rest of the ISU administration, Matt Campbell knew he was the next head football coach at Iowa State. That was on Saturday.

On Sunday night, Campbell was already at work.

He called players, including Allen Lazard, on the ISU football team, alert-

ing them of his pending arrival. Then he hit the recruiting trail.

It’s one of his favorite things to do — recruiting.

“I like to recruit,” Campbell said.

“You win with players and getting on that recruiting trail early was really important to me.”

The work ethic that drove Campbell to work the night after receiving the job of his dreams is what drove Pollard to Campbell in the first place. It didn’t surprise Pollard that Campbell already started his work.

If anything, he expected it.

“What I learned on Sunday morning is that we got one heck of a football coach, because he spent Saturday night grinding and working already,” Pollard said.

He also started to piece his staff together, thinking of the big picture. He wanted to create a template and find assistant coaches who fit that mold.

He had already decided the first hire of his new coaching staff before he came to Ames on Monday. Current ISU running back coach Louis Ayeni coached with Campbell at Toledo before Ayeni came to Iowa State in 2014.

“Coach Ayeni and I have a great relationship,” Campbell said. “He coached for me. And, more than anything, I have a great friendship in terms of football.

“Coach Ayeni will stay on staff here, and he would be my first hire.”

During his introductory press conference on Monday, Campbell stressed the importance of the process. He knew that change in the ISU football program,

which has eight wins in the past three seasons, wasn’t going to happen overnight. It was going to take a bit of time.

But more than anything, he wanted the rest of his team and staff to reach their top potential. That’s how he believes this program will turn around.

“I believe that’s what you have to do to reach your full potential,” Campbell said. “That’s what I’m going to ask each and every one of these young men that I get a chance to meet with today to do.”

Ayeni has seen Campbell’s coaching work first-hand at Toledo. Although the change in culture may shock some of the players, Ayeni believes it’s exactly what the team needs to be successful.

“I’m real excited to see it work here,

Cyclones face new challenge Men’s basketball preps for NDSU

By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com The Emerald Coast Classic allowed Iowa State the opportunity to face off against two Power-5 conference teams in Virginia Tech and Illinois, but Iowa State will be back battling against mid-majors this week as it takes on North Dakota State on Tuesday night.

No. 5 Iowa State (5-0, 0-0 Big 12) has three wins over Power-5 teams early in the season, which is a little unusual as Power-5 teams usually play against smaller schools to start the year. It might be easy for Iowa State to overlook mid-major North Dakota State after winning against bigger schools such as Colorado, Virginia Tech and Illinois.

“I think last year we actually took games like this for granted,” said point guard Monté Morris.

“But now, knowing what we got at stake — being [the] No. 5 [team] in the country — we just got to approach everybody like it’s Colorado or Kansas or teams like that.”

Iowa State and NDSU have both played against Illinois already this season. Iowa State won 84-73 and NDSU recorded its lone loss of the season after falling to the Illini, 80-74.

“I think our biggest focus this year is no matter who we’re playing, just going out and playing our best,” Morris said. “North Dakota State or anybody, we’re going to go out there and play hard.”

After an early slate of Power-5

Jameel McKay leaves Twitter

games across the Big 12, ACC and Big 10, ISU coach Steve Prohm said he isn’t worried about the Cyclones overlooking an opponent from outside the Power-5 conferences.

“The goal is to go 1-0 tomorrow,” Prohm said. “Not thinking about our record, not thinking about anything but trying to beat North Dakota State.”

NDSU may not be a Power-5 school, but when it comes to athletics, NDSU’s resume is impressive.

The Bison have won both the Summit League regular season title and Summit League conference tournament in each of the past two seasons and also made back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Tournament.

“They got a good program,” Prohm said. “A winning culture — both football and basketball — so we’ve got to be ready to go.”

Prohm provided a brief scouting report on the Bison.

“Defensively they really pack it in,” Prohm said. “We’re going to have to be very smart offensively.

They’re physical and tough. They turn you over because they are in a pack so much that when you try to over-penetrate, you turn it over. We got to make sure we’re getting ball reversals and playing with good pace.”

NDSU’s packed-in defense will likely give Iowa State’s sharpshooters a big advantage if Morris is able to successfully penetrate against the initial defenders and kick the ball out.

The Cyclones have to like his chances of doing just that, as Morris is sporting an assist-toturnover ratio hovering around 6-to-1 this season.

By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com His ISU teammates were in the midst of a second-half run that would propel the ISU men’s basketball team to an 84-73 win against Illinois and the Emerald Coast Classic championship.

But Jameel McKay found himself riding the bench.

Because of matchup issues, ISU coach Steve Prohm elected to play a smaller lineup down the stretch Saturday in Niceville, Fla., something that worked well for the Cyclones.

“The matchups were just so funky,” Prohm said.

“They were basically playing four guards out there.”

The big man scored a season-low five points and pulled down six rebounds in the win, a far cry from his season averages of 13.8 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. He played just 27 minutes as he rode the bench during a crucial second-half stretch.

After the game, McKay sent out a few tweets that seemed to voice some frustrations. It was nothing malicious and nothing with bad intent. It was just a way to Max Goldberg/Iowa State Daily blow off steam.

merous tweets praising his teammates for winning the game and the tournament championship, but now McKay said he’s giving up Twitter for awhile.

“Going off Twitter for a while nothing’s going on just wanna focus on school and making my last year as special as possible see u in Houston” McKay tweeted Nov. 29.

“Right now, I just want to focus on my team and school,” McKay said.

“Sometimes I get emotional.”

Now that McKay has had a little time to cool off, he said he was overreacting a little.

He understands the matchup issues that were limiting his minutes and effectiveness.

At the end of the day, it didn’t matter.

“After thinking it over, I couldn’t really be that emotional,” McKay said. “We won the game. That’s all I really cared about.”

Iowa State will set its sights on North Dakota State, which it will play Tuesday night. Prohm said nothing will change in regard to McKay. “Everything’s good,” Prohm said. “He’s good.

He knows he’s a huge part of this team. It’s just the matchups right there. That group was playing well, and he understands that.

“I look forward to him having a great game tomorrow and as we go forward.”

10 items every guy needs

By Rachel.Cessna @iowastatedaily.com Many aspects of college can be stressful such as classes, relationships and jobs. The last thing a student needs to worry about is what they’re going to wear every day. For guys who struggle to choose an outfit or the right style of shoes, you’ve come to the right place. These 10 items will help make every college guy a little more stylish.

1. Watch If there’s one accessory that every guy has to have, it’s a watch. Not only are they useful for telling the time but they also go great with nearly any outfit. They add a touch of class and simply wearing one can make it appear that a little extra effort was put into his morning routine.

People who are unsure about investing in a quality watch should consider how much usage it will get. A watch is an accessory that goes with almost every outfit and can be worn daily. If the watch is high quality, it won’t need replaced anytime soon.

2. Blazer In college, having a blazer is essential. Many occasions call for an outfit that’s a tad dressier. Whether it’s worn on a date to a nice restaurant or during a presentation in class, a blazer is always going to be

a good option for dressing up without having to wear a full suit.

However, not just any blazer will work. The blazer must be fitted. If it’s too small it can be uncomfortable, and if it’s too big it will look like it came from your dad’s closet. Pair the tailored blazer with a nice dress shirt, tie and dark wash jeans, and you’ll have mastered the business casual look.

3. Chinos Having a good pair of chinos in college can be a lifesaver. Just like the blazer, chinos help make an outfit classier and more professional. They’re perfect for class to make the extra effort or for a job interview.

Chinos are also versatile. They can be worn with a casual shirt, dress shirt, sweater or blazer. Complete the look with a pair of casual tennis shoes or dress shoes.

4. Dress shirt Every guy needs a dress shirt. Owning a dress shirt eliminates the rush of putting together an outfit for a date or class presentation.

Dress shirts can be worn with multiple different outfits and will add a touch of professionalism.

One can never go wrong with a basic white dress shirt, but colorful dress shirts have currently become a staple item.

Try a simple pattern in a light blue or a cranberry red.

5. Socks Every college guy needs a nice pair of socks. No, not white footies from Walmart, but socks that can be paired with a suit or dress outfit for an interview. Socks can be used as a way to show off personality, too. Easy going and fun guys should experiment with a unique pattern. For more serious and professional purposes, try a solid color or argyle pattern. However, make sure the socks complement the dress shirt or outfit.

6. Dress shoes Not having a decent dress shoe can ruin an entire outfit. Wearing everyday casual shoes with dress clothing can make an outfit turn from classy to sloppy in seconds.

Oxfords, loafers, dress boots and monk strap shoes are all stylish choices for dress shoes this season. If the outfit has more blue tones, try wearing a brown style. For more neutral colors, a black shoe will help keep the look sharp.

7. Belts Belts are a must-have for all men. They keep pants where they should be and help an outfit look complete. Not wearing a belt can sometimes be uncomfortable if one’s pants are not fitted. Also, make sure the belt matches the shoes.

8. Basic tee One can never have too many tees. They’re perfect for everyday wear and

Having a nice, working watch is an easy way to add class and show a little effort and personality in your outfit.

they’re comfortable. Try a slight V-neck for a more stylish outfit. However, for people who are uncomfortable wearing V-necks, crew necks still work.

Basic tees are easily paired with jeans and casual shoes for a day of classes or a night out. Try having a variety of neutral basic tees and colorful or printed ones. However, not just any tee will do. Pay attention to the fit and design. Material that is cheap or doesn’t fit well can end up looking tacky.

9. Cologne All guys should have at

least one type of cologne.

The right amount of cologne can make one more appealing or memorable.

Apply a citrus-based cologne during the day and a heavy, woody cologne for night. Apply less if it’s hot.

Why cologne? Because most ladies love it.

10. Hats Hats make life a little easier for college students, both males and females. For the guys waking up for an 8 a.m. class with less than 10 minutes to spare, hair is the last thing on their mind.

Throw on a baseball cap or beanie, and the problem is

solved. Hats not only hide a messy bedhead but also add unique touches to most outfits. So, the next time hair is being unruly, just throw on an old baseball cap.

Comfort seems to be the main priority in many college students’ wardrobes. However, with interviews, dates and presentations commonly present in schedules, it’s important to start building a wardrobe that houses staple items for such events. These 10 items provide a good start to building a professional and versatile wardrobe.

Beginner’s guide to Boyfriend puts his styling skills to the test shopping for holidays

By Jessica.Jensen @iowastatedaily.com When asked if I would let my boyfriend dress me for a week, my first thought was “no way.” The more I considered the idea, I realized it would be a fun way to spice up my daily routine, and even make getting ready in the morning easier.

Maybe a pair of fresh eyes could make my closet more useful than I was.

For an entire week, my boyfriend, Jeffrey Robson, junior in kinesiology and health, picked and styled my outfits from head to toe.

On Monday, he chose an ISU jacket with black leggings and tennis shoes. The weather for this day was cool and overcast, so I appreciated the warm and comfortable selection. This is something I would choose to wear myself, as it was a great, simple Monday outfit.

On Tuesday, I wore a brown leather jacket with a gray V-neck underneath. He paired this with a pair of dark wash skinny jeans and brown riding boots. He even accessorized with a leopard print scarf.

“I chose the brown leather jacket because I have never seen her wear it before,” Robson said.

He is correct; I do not wear that jacket regularly. I remember picking out the jacket in high school for my senior pictures. I usually don’t wear the jacket because it is heavy and not very comfortable. However, I received a few compliments on my outfit, and I enjoyed dressing nice for class.

Reporter Jessica Jensen was styled by her boyfriend for a week.

Wednesdays are long days for me, so I tend to dress on the casual and comfortable side.

He picked a cream-colored sweater, skinny jeans and black boots. The forecast was rainy that day, so he even picked my rain jacket to wear over it.

“I picked the sweater because it had an interesting pattern,” Robson said.

The sweater has a navy and coral Aztec pattern, and I had never worn it until he picked it out for me that day. It was a gift from my mom that I hadn’t gotten around to wearing yet.

On Thursday, I sported a dark purple flannel, skinny jeans and brown riding boots. This is one my favorite outfits, as it is both comfortable and cute. I usually wear a mixture of both gold and silver jewelry to add some shine to the ensemble, but he didn’t pick out any accessories.

On Thursday night, as he was picking out my outfit for Friday, he seemed to really strug-

gle. I could hear him mumbling under his breath, “Uh, I have no idea. This is a lot of work.”

The high for Friday was only about 40 degrees, so I gave him a hint that I would love to wear a sweatshirt. He ended up picking out a simple gray and pink sweatshirt that he paired with leggings and black boots.

Overall, I am impressed with how well my boyfriend styled me that week. When I first approached him about helping me with this experiment, he laughed and didn’t believe he had it in him to dress someone other than himself for a whole week.

Throughout the experiment I noticed my love for accessories. After not wearing jewelry for a week, I was missing my go-to pieces. I love pairing my favorite pair of earrings or a statement necklace with my outfit.

Having someone else pick clothes from my wardrobe gave me ideas of some pieces I should wear more often, and what others think I look best in. I would encourage others to give this a try because it really provides a new perspective on a personal wardrobe.

By Camilia.Cervantes @iowastatedaily.com With the season of gift giving in full force, it’s time to start planning.

Sometimes gift giving is harder than expected — especially for the opposite sex. Take a peek at the tips below to ease the stress of holiday shopping.

First, create a budget. It’s easy to get carried away on spending when a budget isn’t set. If you’re exchanging gifts with friends, it’s also a good idea to set a limit that can’t be surpassed. Within the budget, allocate how much can be spent on each person or gift.

Second, make a list of gift ideas for each person before heading out to the mall or online shopping. Not having a list will lead to a longer shopping experience and unnecessary spending.

Try browsing gift guides in magazines or online for ideas.

Stores such as Amazon, Macy’s, Urban Outfitters Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s have a “gifts” section full of ideas for both him and her, including clothing, gadgets, art and more. Try to pick a gift that will be useful in his or her daily life.

For college students, storebought gifts aren’t in the budget this holiday season. Do-it-yourself

December is the season of giving. Follow these tips to save on the stress.

gifts with a personal touch are just as loved by family and friends.

Shopping online and DIY gifts are a great way to avoid the mall chaos during the holidays. Compare prices between different brands and browse the sale ads.

Third, determine what gifts can be purchased online or in-store.

Coupon sites such as RetailMeNot, DealHunting and CouponCabin are available to help lower the prices of online shopping, whether it be on the purchases or the shipping.

Finally, choose the perfect gift wrap that represents the holidays or the recipient’s personality. Stores such as Von Maur offer free gift wrapping where both online and store-bought gifts can be wrapped for free. When making a purchase at a store, ask for gift boxes to make the wrapping process a little easier.

AMES PD p1 “[Phanchantraurai] was very good at his job here,� said Jessica Fincham, international student adviser and former colleague of Phanchantraurai’s. “He is a wonderful leader, and everyone loves him. I was sad to see him leave but happy for him with his new job.�

Phanchantraurai said he had always dreamed of being a police officer, even when he was young. “I remember my first job application back in Thailand was to be a police officer,� Phanchantraurai

PUPPY p1 her own dog.�

Reynolds also said it was a very easy procedure and appreciated how it was far less invasive than an open-chest surgery.

Ward believes her previous experience helped her while performing the surgery. “I did a one-year rotating internship in small animal medicine at Ohio State and a three-year residency in cardiology at North Carolina State,� Ward said.

Ward also obtained her bachelor’s degree at Duke

said. “I’ve always wanted to be a cop, even back in high school.�

After living in Ames for a few years, Phanchantraurai heard about a citizen’s police academy offered through the Ames Police Department. This was a two-month training course where citizens learn the basics of what a cop does. “After the citizen’s academy, I wanted to step up, so I applied to Polk County as a reserve deputy sheriff in 2013,� Phanchantraurai said.

Phanchantraurai said he got the job, although it

was just a volunteer opportunity. He realized that he enjoyed it very much and wanted to pursue more. “I realized that it was my dream job, but it’s getting late [in my life], so it was kind of a ‘now or never,’�

Phanchantraurai said.

He decided to try it.

Phanchantraurai began exercising and getting in shape and then applied for a position at the Ames, Polk County and Des Moines police departments.

After passing the majority of the tests, Ames was the first to offer him a job, and Phanchantraurai accepted

happily.

Before becoming an officer, Phanchantraurai completed a 14-week training program called the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy.

After that, he continued training for three and a half months.

During this time, he followed a police officer and learned how to do the job successfully before being able to work on his own. “It’s a great department and great colleagues,� Phanchantraurai said. “There’s plenty of learning and opportunity to advance in the career.�

before going to North Carolina State for vet school.

Ward said she only focused on cardiac-related problems at North Carolina State to prepare herself to become a specialized vet.

She also said she did about 60 to 70 cardiac procedures during her time in residency.

Ward said her time at Iowa State is not only spent with surgeries, however. “My time here is 50 percent clinical and 50 percent other,� Ward said. “I spend some of my time teaching students and some of my time doing research. Most of what I do [in clinical] is seeing patients, diagnosing

the diseases, performing echocardiograms, talking with owners and prescribing medications. Actual procedures are a more rare part of my job.�

Before Ward came to Ames, there hadn’t been a single cardiac surgery in about five years at Iowa State. The only other cardiologist in vet med is Wendy Ware, professor of veterinary clinical sciences, and she has worked for Iowa State for 29 years.

Ware was also the only veterinary cardiologist in Iowa before Ward arrived.

She still works for the College of Veterinary Medicine

but does not perform surgeries. “There was a lot of demand and interest in having more cardiology service available,� Ward said. “It’s been very rewarding to come in and see the enthusiasm that people have for cardiology here.�

Ward thinks she and the hospital have room to grow. “I would love to train my own resident,� Ward said of her future goals. “I’d like vet med to fill out the other specialty services so that we can have a really strong team of all different specialties to offer.�
