A Christmas Carol BY AVERI.BAUDER @iowastatedaily.com
Many are familiar with Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” and the magical tale of Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. This timeless classic has been gracing the stage of Iowa State’s Fisher Theater every third winter for the last 25 years. During its run on campus, “A Christmas Carol” has seen numerous student actors and crew members come and go, which has given the show a different energy each time it is performed. Though many have been involved over the years, director Jane Cox has been a staple in this production. Although this year’s show wouldn’t seem out of the ordinary to average viewers, it holds great significance to Cox as it will be her final time directing it. Cox has been involved in n e a r l y e ve r y aspect of theater during her time here at Iowa State including publicit y work, costume design, teaching, directing
and writing scripts. After first being asked to write a version of “A Christmas Carol” back in 1992, she expected to direct it once and be done with it. “Initially, we planned to do it just once as a regular part of our season and people seemed to like it so much that we just thought we’ll do it once every three years,” Cox said. “I tweak [the script] a little bit every year to try to make it better, but it’s still essentially the same version,” Cox said. “There are about 50 cast members including 12 community children and the rest are all ISU students.” Though the majority of people would assume that Cox would be bored after directing the same show for 25 years, Cox said that she enjoys it. “I am going to retire from Iowa State at the end of this year.” Cox said. “Many people have asked, ‘Don’t you get tired of doing the same thing?’ and the fact is that the cast is always different and they bring different things to it, different strengths and slightly different ways of looking at things.” Cox also continues to love this show because of its timeless message and the fact that it takes viewers on an emotional journey. “I like this show because it has a message that I believe in. Scrooge discovers that it’s never too late to change. You can look back over your life and the mistakes you’ve made … and see that it’s not too late, you can change from that,” Cox said. “A Christmas Carol” also serves as a reminder to its viewers to slow down during the craziness that so often comes with the holiday season. “I think a lot of times at holiday time people are caught up, including myself, in all there is to do, all of the hectic stuff,” Cox said. Though Cox will always enjoy the
message and period of reflection that accompanies this show, she says that the students are what she will miss most about directing “A Christmas Carol.” “I’ll miss working with the students,” Cox said. “We’ve almost always have had great groups of people and people who are willing to work hard to make it the best show they can.” Not only have the student actors that Cox has worked with had an impact on her, but she has most definitely had an impact on them. Tyler Hupp, a senior in industrial design, plays Ebenezer Scrooge in this year’s production and credits Cox for her ability to lighten rehearsals and make sure that everyone has fun while also getting work done. “Jane is a delight each and every time I get the chance to work with her,” Hupp said. “She always has a strong vision for her productions while also giving the actors her trust. She seems to be always smiling and giving feedback and suggestions, and she always brightens up my long production days.” As Cox enters her final few performances of this show, her students want her to know how much of an influence she has had on their theater experience. Hupp added, “I am incredibly honored to be playing part in her final show of ‘A Christmas Carol’ at Iowa State, and she will be deeply missed by everyone at ISU. The department will never be the same without her.” Although this production will mark Cox’s last time directing “A Christmas Carol” here at Iowa State, she will continue to work through the impact that she has had on her students and the happiness that her shows have brought to the people who have seen them.

CyServe Council is hosting its ‘Cards for Kids event,’ as a part of WinterFest on Dec. 1. The event will take place in the Cardinal Room in the Memorial Union from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. The cards will be donated to ChildServe, a care center and service provider for “children and young adults who have a wide variety of developmental delays, disabilities, acquired injuries and other special healthcare needs.” This year is the first year the event will be held as part of WinterFest, but the club hopes to make it an annual event. Angela Severino, a sophomore in marketing and the public relations representative for CyServe, said last season they were able to collect over 100 cards. Since the event will be a part of Winterfest, she said CyServe is aiming to collect more than 200 cards this year. Supplies to create the cards will be provided. “I know they’ve told us in the past the kids really enjoy the cards,” Severino said. “They think it’s cool [the cards are] coming from Iowa State students because kids look up to older people.” Severino said the cards will probably be delivered to ChildServe Monday. The CyServe team will be looking through the cards Friday night to make sure all the cards have inclusive messages. “They can just write ‘happy holidays.’ You can’t really write any certain holiday. They can still draw a picture of Santa Clause and a Christmas tree; they just have to be very inclusive in their word choice,” Severino said. “We’re going to make sure we’re clear on that when people come to volunteer.” When asked to address people who find the restrictions on saying ‘Merry Christmas’ to be a violation of their values, Severino emphasized the focus on inclusivity of all holidays at the event.
CHRIS JORGENSEN/ IOWA STATE DAILY A large tree was lit with lights outside Beardshear Hall in celebration of Iowa State’s 2016 Winterfest activities.
“It’s just because we don’t know what religion certain people are, and we just don’t want to be rude. Writing ‘Merry Christmas’ on the card could offend somebody,” Severino said. “I understand that a lot of people do like to celebrate Christmas, but we should be respectful that other people might not. Just writing ‘Happy Holidays’ is a good way to address everybody and not just a certain religion or group of people.” CyServe’s mission is to provide service opportunities to students at Iowa State and in surrounding areas in an easily accessible manner. Their biggest events are their CyServe Days that take place every semester.
CyServe provides transportation to the volunteer site for approximately 150 volunteers. Severino said turnout is continuing to grow. Cards for Kids is one of CyServe’s “drop in and serve” events. Another one of these projects the club has sponsored was Project Linus, which makes blankets for kids in hospitals. They’ve also worked with Raising Readers, a childhood literacy organization. “I think people should come and make cards because the kids that they [the cards] are going to really need a little bit of spirit around the holidays,” Severino said.

NBA rule damages players’ careers BY JOSHUA.HOLST @iowastatedaily.com
PHOTO COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA COMMONS Columnist Joshua Holst argues that the rule the NBA made in 2005 more likely hurts new NBA players’ careers rather than helps it due to loss of profits and potential injuries.
In 2005, NBA teams decided that they had a problem. Many teams had been wasting high draft picks on high school players that they didn’t know much about in the hopes that they would be superstars. As a result, the NBA decided that it would require high school athletes to play one year in college or Europe before they could officially declare for the NBA draft. However, this rule takes responsibility away from NBA teams while harming the athletes that the fans come to arenas to see.
One argument that proponents of the rule will use is that kids aren’t ready for the money and attention that comes with being a professional athlete at the age of 17 or 18. But those who make this argument have failed to answer one question: What makes these kids so ready for fame and fortune at 19? Do young men suddenly decide to not make poor decisions at 19? Do they spontaneously develop financial intelligence? Are they instantly immune to temptation? After all, 19-year-olds are known for being so much more mature than their
18-year-old counterparts, right? No. Of course they’re not. Also, the idea that somebody could be old enough to serve in the armed forces but too young to play professional basketball is frankly ridiculous. There is also reason to believe that rather than giving these players time to prove themselves and mature, it actually can do them substantial harm. First of all, this rule forces most American players to wait another year before they can make any money off of their talent. The NCAA does not allow these kids to make any money off their own names while they play ball in college. And while playing in Europe for a year is technically an option, European teams are unlikely to invest in players that only plan to stay in Europe for a year or two before they go to the NBA. In short, most athletes who choose to try and play in Europe or the D-league fail to have long NBA careers. Furthermore, there is an injury risk to players in college. And the notion that a talented young player could miss out on millions of dollars because he had to risk getting hurt in college is wholly unfair to the players. Look at the story of Nerlens Noel. Out of high school and at the start of
his college season at Kentucky, he was a likely number one overall pick. During his only year at Kentucky, he tore his ACL. Luckily, he was still selected at 6th overall, but the financial difference between the first and sixth draft picks is millions of dollars. And the fact remains Nerlens Noel was lucky. Worse injuries can cost players their careers. They might as well be in a position where they can care for themselves financially if they are going to risk injury. Finally, the main reason that the one and done rule was put in place was that NBA teams kept taking high school phenoms that turned out to be busts. However, this is not the players’ fault. NBA teams need to take responsibility when they make a bad pick. If they can’t effectively scout a high school prospect, then they shouldn’t draft a high school prospect. It’s not complicated, it’s simple. Let NBA teams make mistakes taking young players. Part of why we love sports is that we don’t always know exactly what is going to happen. Some guys are studs, some are busts. But that is no reason to financially punish talented young men who want to play professional basketball. It’s time for the one and done rule to die.

Fight for funds on World AIDS The end of an epidemic is within our reach. Today marks the 29th celebration of World AIDS Day where people around the globe remember those who have died from the disease, celebrate the life of those living with HIV and reignite the fight to finally end this epidemic once and for all.
The United Nations reports that as of 2016, 36.7 million people were living with HIV with only 53 percent of those people having access to treatment. Medical professionals know that starting treatment as soon as someone is diagnosed is the most effective way of preventing the spread of the virus. This is part of UNAIDS’ ambitious goal to end the epidemic by 2020. The UNAIDS 90-90-90 plan hopes to have 90 percent of all people living with HIV know their HIV status, 90 percent of people diagnosed with HIV receiving sustained antiretroviral therapy and 90 percent of people receiving that treatment to have viral suppression by 2020. These are ambitious goals. But, they are ambitious only because of funding. We currently have the medical technology and infrastructure to get ahead of this epidemic and stop it in its tracks. What is lacking, however, is the funding. The U.S. has two funding mechanisms to help fight the spread of AIDS around the world. The first mechanism is the UN Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. This
agency receives funding from global donors and helps middle and low income countries provide medication and testing to those who need it. The second mechanism, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), was started under the George W. Bush administration. This government agency was established to combat the spread of the disease in developing countries whose populations were being decimated by the epidemic. Now, activists and the former president himself are calling for PEPFAR to be fully funded so that its amazing work can continue until the epidemic is over. We’ve come a long way since the early days of the epidemic. There are now medications like PrEP to prevent the spread of HIV. People living with HIV have more treatment options and drug prices have come down. However, the fight is far from over. Our legislative leaders need to make ending this epidemic a priority by fully funding PEPFAR and the UN Global Fund. The end of this terrible epidemic is within our grasp if only our elected representatives act and provide the necessary agencies with the funding they need. You can help celebrate World AIDS Day by contacting your representatives and asking that they commit to fully funding PEPFAR and the Global Fund. Get tested, know your status and fight for funding.

Team to improve tournament play BY GARRETT.KROEGER @iowastatedaily.com
MIKINNA KERNS/ IOWA STATE DAILY Redshirt Sophomore Hali Hillegas returns an Omaha serve Aug. 26. The Cyclones went on to sweep Omaha in three consecutive sets.
A year can change so much, especially in sports.
Last season, the Iowa State volleyball team had an up and down year. Some moments the Cyclones were great and then at other times, they fell flat. And around this time last year, they got swept by the Purdue Boilermakers in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. This year, Iowa State looks to right its wrong as the Cyclones prepare for their first round tournament match against the Princeton Tigers. Also, unlike last season, Iowa State won’t have to be playing on a neutral site like it did in 2016. This year, the Cyclones play host to the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament in Hilton Coliseum this Friday and Saturday. “[Iowa State is] so excited [to host],” said outside hitter Alexis Conaway. “We tried not to get our hopes up. We kind of heard there was a chance, but we were like ‘OK we will wait and see, you never know.’ Just [to] get the chance to play in Hilton again. We have an awesome crowd, awesome fanbase and it’s such a great place to play. So, I definitely think that will help us going forward.” Iowa State and Princeton have never met. They have one common opponent this season, Iowa. Cyclones topped Iowa 3-1, Iowa beat Princeton 3-0, both very early in the season. Although staying at home is always beneficial, Iowa State is trying to avoid a slip up like last year and isn’t overlooking Princeton. This season, the Tigers won the Ivy League Championship to capture this NCAA bid. And on tape, Cyclones coach Christy Johnson-Lynch sees a version of a Big 12 team in the visiting university from New Jersey. “I would compare [Princeton] to a lot of the Big 12 teams we see,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Not a lot of weaknesses. Just a good team.” Now, there wasn’t a specific conference opponent that Johnson-Lynch saw in Princeton. She just sees the Tigers performing at the level of play the Cyclones are used to playing in the Big 12. Just solid ball control, pretty athletic middle blockers and setting perfectly to their right side hitters. And the latter
could possibly cause some problems for Iowa State at 7 p.m. Friday in Hilton. All year long Princeton has rallied on right side hitter Maggie O’Connell. This season, O’Connell is averaging 3.38 kills per set. The way she is earning those kills can also be problematic for the Cyclones. O’Connell utilizes the slide attack method to score, which means she hops off one foot and is faster. “It’s a little problematic,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We have to figure out when they attack the right side a lot, how are we going to transition out of that. Can we stay in system, that kind of stuff. So, it just presents some problems.” While the Tigers present some issues, the Cyclones are a seasoned team. They are led by mainly seniors and juniors, like Conaway, Samara West, Monique Harris, Grace Lazard and Jess Schaben. So, Iowa State should be up for the challenge. However, Princeton is coming into Hilton after having to win the Ivy League playoffs to earn a right to play in the tournament. That could give the Tigers a chip on their shoulder when taking on the Cyclones. “[Princeton] had to fight and show a little grit,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I think they probably feel like they have nothing to lose and when you feel like you have nothing to lose, you can play free and easy. Especially, when you go into an opponent’s gym. “You kind of feel like, ‘No one has picked us to win. So, now, we can go ahead and take some risks.’ When teams are like that, you just have to be pretty disciplined on our side and ready to go. We can’t take anything for granted.” The Cyclones are focused on the task at hand, ready to right the wrong from last season and believe they can go deep in this year’s tournament. “Just going with the mindset that we are in it to possibly go to the championship,” said libero Hali Hillegas. “That mentality that you play with that every team matters, and not overlooking anyone. Just saying, ‘This is the game we have to play and this is how we have to play and defend this team.’ If we can do that, we can be great.”

Judah & the Lion
Multi-genre band to play Great Hall BY CAROLINE.SHAW @iowastatedaily.com
Take a second and think about what your favorite genre of music is. Got it? Whatever it is, Judah & the Lion has you covered and they’re coming to Iowa State’s Great Hall on Friday night.
Judah & the Lion is a Nashville-based band that has roots planted in just about every genre you can think of. The members themselves come from all over the country and from different musical backgrounds. When they formed in college, those different backgrounds blended together to create one of the most genre-bending groups on the charts today. Their newest album, “Folk Hop N’ Roll,” captures that quality even in the title. The music itself is an intriguing mix of hip-hop, folk, rock and pop. The deluxe version of the album added an additional group of songs called the “Going to Mars Collection.” It features songs like “Take It All Back 2.0” and “Suit and Jacket” and has reached top-ten positions on the folk, alternative and heatseekers Billboard charts. “There’s no boundaries,” said frontman Judah Akers on the band’s website. “We wanted to make something raw, something with attitude. We all grew up loving these hip-hop beats, so why not make an album that has the grit of Run DMC or Beastie Boys, along with all the folk instruments that we play?” Judah & the Lion’s music has also been featured on Spotify’s VIRAL 50 playlist alongside artists like Meghan Trainor, Fall Out Boy and many other bands from many different genres showing that they could run with any crowd. This band has built their following and reputation not by attaching themselves to a major label, but by working to produce genuine music and touring relentlessly. “Folk Hop N’ Roll” was produced by award-winning producer Dave Cobb who has also worked with artists like Chris Stapleton. Earlier this year, Judah & the Lion spent three

months on the road with Twenty One Pilots on their Emotional Roadshow tour. Immediately after that, they went into their own headlining tour across the U.S. The band has also shared the stage with Ben Rector, who performed in the Great Hall earlier this semester. Judah & the Lion has played at Iowa State twice before. They supported Andrew Ripp in the Maintenance Shop in February of 2014 and headlined the same venue in November of the same year. “I think a lot of people are excited,” said Student Union Board National Events Director Hayly Smith. “A lot of people know the songs... Even at the Ben Rector show we were handing out flyers for shows coming up and I know that people were excited for Judah & the Lion.” Judah & the Lion places emphasis on their live show. They value their fans’ time and want to make
sure the experience is worth their while. They kept this in mind as they wrote “Folk Hop n’ Roll.” “This record was made for the live show,” Akers said. “Our shows are all about the experience we share with our fans. We know that people work everyday jobs or go to school, and they’re dealing with life, and yet they’re still choosing to spend the night with us. We don’t take that lightly. We give them an experience. We throw an absolute rage. And all the songs were made with that in mind. They’re fun, carefree and youthful, and we live our lives that way, too.” Judah & the Lion will perform in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union supported by fellow Nashville band Wilder on 8 p.m. tonight. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are available through Midwesttix.com or at the M-Shop box office. Tickets are $15 with a student ID and $25 for the public.
