Students crammed into the Maintenance Shop of the Memorial Union on Thursday to catch a glimpse of Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio as he made his latest swing through Iowa. The Florida senator gave his stump speech to eager students and community members, insisting that an optimistic yet pragmatic approach is the best way to handle issues facing the nation. Rubio has often used his personal story — having been raised by poor, immigrant parents — along with an optimism for working class people to try and attract voters. With so many candidates running for election this cycle, presidential hopefuls continue to find ways to make themselves stand out. “I didn’t really know anything about Marco Rubio before,” said David Jahn, sophomore in civil engineering. “I really liked it. I learned a lot about the candidate.” Rubio touched on a wide range of topics, covering issues facing the economy, higher education, the Islamic state group and the Affordable Care Act. Areas of focus for the GOP hopeful were jobs and the economy. He detailed his plan of bringing jobs back from overseas, emphasizing the importance of successfully competing and collaborating with the increasingly globalized economy. “The world I grew up in is very different than the world we live in now,” Rubio said. “The economy we live in today is a global one.” Tax reform and regulation reform, he said, are keys to getting the economy on the right track and will lead to increased competitiveness and innovation. “I like how he is trying to help businesses to grow, especially small-and medium-sized busi-

ISU point guard Monté Morris hits the go-ahead and eventual game-winning shot against Iowa on Thursday at Hilton Coliseum. The bucket capped off a 20-point comeback.

Iowa State storms back from 20-point deficit against Iowa By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com

ameel McKay headed back toward the defensive end of the basketball court, his No. 4 Cyclones down one point with only 51 seconds remaining, against their biggest rival — the unranked Iowa Hawkeyes. Georges Niang had just hit a pair of free throws, and McKay was looking for a little help. The help wasn’t coming from his teammates and not from the ISU fans but from somewhere else. He was looking for magic, the kind ISU players and fans have come to believe resides within the friendly confines of Hilton Coliseum. “Come on, magic,” McKay muttered. “Come on, magic.” McKay got what he was looking for. “You know Hilton Magic is going to happen, you just don’t know when,” McKay said. “And it happened. I knew [if] we get a stop, we would win the game. That was never a doubt in my mind.” Iowa point guard Mike Gesell missed a jumper with 22 seconds left. Iowa’s Jarrod Uthoff pulled down the offensive rebound, but

the shot clock expired. The Cyclones had one final chance to take the lead, which had eluded Iowa State since it led 4-3 with 17:36 left in the first half. With nine seconds left, Monté Morris, nicknamed “Big Game,” brought the ball up the court. McKay was supposed to come up and set a screen for Morris, but that plan never came to fruition. “I got out of his way,” McKay said. “I let him be the player he is.” Morris delivered, hitting a picture-perfect floater to put the Cyclones up 83-82 with just seconds remaining. Uthoff would get one more shot at the game, but his 3-pointer clanked off the rim, and the ISU faithful stormed the court. A 20-point comeback, courtesy of Hilton Magic, and a clutch shot by Big Game completed the eventful night. Earlier this season, Morris said he always plays better when his mom is at his games. She was there for Morris’ game-winner against Texas in the first round of the Big 12 tournament last season. Against Iowa, she was there to witness the same result. “I made two game winners in front of her so far,” Morris said. “I’m undefeated in front of my mom.” Iowa State’s last minute comeback is impressive on its own but even more so when considering Iowa State had to erase a 20-point deficit in the second half just to get the game close again. At Hilton Coliseum, the Cyclones have proven they may be

REGISTER COLUMNIST SUFFERS BROKEN LEG Des Moines Register columnist Randy Peterson suffered a compound fracture in his leg after Iowa State’s comeback victory against Iowa, according to Chad Leistikow of the Des Moines Register. Leistikow reported that Peterson suffered a broken tibia and fibula and will have surgery Friday. After the Cyclones won 83-82, the crowd charged the court. That was when Peterson was injured. “In fairness, we still do not know exactly what happened,” ISU Athletic Director Jamie Pollard said in a statement. “However, at this point our thoughts are focused on Randy and his wife Patty, who is battling cancer. He is our beat reporter, and Patty and he are both very good friends of our program. “Coach Prohm and I have both personally spoken with Randy and have assured him we will do whatever we can to help both through what they are dealing with.” Peterson was seen carried out of Hilton Coliseum on a stretcher with a cast on his leg. He was taken to Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines and will have surgery Friday. down, but they’re never out. That sentiment prevailed in Iowa State’s huge 21-point comeback against Oklahoma last season and the Cyclones’ comeback win against the Hawkeyes the last time the CyHawk game came to Hilton Coliseum two seasons ago. “Crazy things have happened in this building,” said Matt Thomas, who scored 19 points off the

she has taken part in. “I see myself predominately as an activist, and I thought [Sanders’] views aligned with mine more and the kind of work I wanted to do,” Cook said. Cook said this election is very poignant and has the potential to change the direction of U.S. policy. She encouraged students to get involved in any way, adding that getting involved in a group helps students become more aware and informed about issues. “Become involved now, in any way, or in any group,” Cook said. “You become more educated on the issues around you, and you can effect any level of change, even if it’s small, and how these issues affect you in your everyday life.” Polling from USA Today and Suffolk University released Dec. 8 showed Sanders with a positive favorability rating among younger voters aged 18-34 in the poll. That group viewed him more positively by six points while overall he is viewed negatively by three points among all voters. What is the most obvious way Sanders appeals to young students? Touting his plan to provide free college tuition at public universities. “Bernie Sanders, and even Hillary Clinton to some extent, are appealing directly to students on the grounds of free tuition or reduced tuition,” Shelley said. “Bernie is really trying to appeal to students with that, and I think that works with parents, as well. I think that’s appealing to parents just about as much as it would for students.” For Republicans, Kentucky

Forget interning in Washington D.C. Every four years, Iowa becomes the hub of American politics with candidates swarming the state looking for support leading up to the first-in-the-nation votes for president. With candidates flocking to the state en masse, college campuses become a popular spot for presidential hopefuls to meet a diverse group of potential first-time voters and win over a population who—if they turn out—can sway Iowa’s closely watched precinct caucuses. Mack Shelley, university professor of political science, said he still remembers sitting in the Scheman Building during the 2008 caucus. Turnout seemed pretty standard, he recalled, but with about 10 minutes before the doors shut, a massive group of students poured in to caucus for then-Sen. Barack Obama. “It was almost like an old western — the cavalry coming over the hill at the last minute to save whoever,” Shelley said. “That’s kind of the way it turned out. You can’t have a one-to-one connection of being a student and voting for Obama in 2008, but it was pretty obvious that’s what tipped the scale.” A record 6.5 million people under the age of 30 turned out in the 2008 primaries and caucuses, and 8,800 young voters turned out for Obama in Iowa’s Caucus, according to The Center For Information and Research on Civic

Learning and Engagement. The Iowa Democratic Party does not release vote counts. Instead, it releases how many delegates each candidate wins, but Obama easily won Iowa in 2008 with 37.6 percent. Sen. John Edwards squeaked by then Sen. Hillary Clinton by just a few hundredths of a percent to take second place. In 2012, grassroots support for libertarian-leaning Republican Rep. Ron Paul shot him into the “top tier” of candidates. He easily won the youth vote, according to estimates from CIRCLE, which projects 48 percent of young voters caucused for the Texas congressman. Former Sen. Rick Santorum was the closest competitor at 23 percent, while former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney brought in 14 percent. Santorum edged Romney by just 34 votes to win the caucus when all of the votes were counted. This election cycle, two candidates have stood out on college campuses and attracted potential voters to get involved in their campaigns. On the Democratic side, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders — technically an independent in Congress who calls himself a democratic socialist — has appealed to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Rosie Cook, freshman in prebusiness who runs Students for Bernie at Iowa State, said she became interested in politics when she was getting involved in gay rights activism in high school.

Kaylee Weber, former ISU student, speaks to supporters as part of an Obama campaign rally in 2012. Students have the ability influence who wins the Iowa caucus.

Sen. Rand Paul has made a push to reach out to young voters with his message of less government intrusion. His campaign also set a goal of recruiting 10,000 college students to caucus for the senator — a feat that would likely put him over the top by the end of caucus night — and Paul has established 400 “Students for Rand” chapters on campuses across the United States. Austin Dzik, junior in mechanical engineering and president of Students for Rand at Iowa State, said he originally became interested in politics after watching Rand’s father, Ron, campaign in 2012. The ISU group spawned off of Young Americans for Liberty, another student group that advocates fiscal conservatism with a push for

civil liberties. Dzik was involved in the group during his sophomore year, and regional leaders for the group became involved in Paul’s campaign and asked him to start a group at Iowa State. As for getting students involved, the group makes a push to talk to students every day and try to get them interested. “We’re always out by the library just talking to students about issues and issues that matter to students,” Dzik said. “A lot of people don’t like our involvement in the Middle East and, for example, drug reform. So just talking to students and I’m always having conversations with people I meet about the group.” And when it comes to stu-

Students are getting ready to go home for the holidays, leaving their apartments vulnerable to burglaries. “It’s a crime of opportunity,” said Cmdr. Jason Tuttle, public information officer for the Ames Police Department. Tuttle said it is not un-

common to see students become the victims of burglary because many of them don’t lock their doors and have valuable items such as laptops and game consoles. “I think some of our criminals know our students are easy targets,” Tuttle said. Tuttle said with holiday breaks coming up, the department anticipates seeing more burglaries with students being gone and leaving their apartments empty. Students can take the burglary target off of their backs by locking the doors

to their apartments, closing their curtains and keeping their valuables out of site or taking them along for the trip. Tuttle said it also helps when people get to know their neighbors, and they can ask their neighbors to check on the place and get their mail. “Don’t let [mail] pile up in front of your door,” Tuttle said. If items are stolen, Tuttle said it is helpful when owners know the serial number of their electronic devices, allowing the police to easily identify stolen electronics.

ISU surgeon gives new legs to cat Rare surgery allows Vincent to walk again By Tara.Larson @iowastatedaily.com One of the veterinarians at the College of Veterinary Medicine performed a surgery only completed on an estimated few dozen animals worldwide. Dr. Mary Sarah Bergh, veterinary orthopedic surgeon and associate professor of veterinary clinical services, performed a major surgery on a 3-year-old cat named Vincent in February 2014 and then another a year later that helped the feline walk again. Bergh said he is recovering well and has been able to walk on his new legs. Vincent was found as a kitten missing part of his hind legs, just below the tibia. He was brought into the Story County Animal

Shelter, where he was later adopted by Cindy Jones. Vincent was brought to Bergh to see what she could do. She said they tried many different options before resorting to surgery. “We tried physical therapy to improve range of motion,” Bergh said. “We also tried coverings, booties and even a wheelchair.” After no luck with these options, prosthetics looked like the most reliable choice. BioMedtrix, a company that specializes in animal medical supplies, worked with Bergh to create implants. These implants were donated by the company. Next, Bergh began preparing for surgery. “There was a tremendous amount of preparation,” Bergh said. “There were lots of potential hiccups, so we rehearsed [the surgery].” Once Vincent was ready for surgery, titanium rods that were designed by BioMedtrix were pounded in his femur bones. Part of his

lower legs were amputated so that the rods would work easier. Bergh estimated each leg took about an hour and a half in surgery. However, she said it was worth it. “Vincent’s future looks a lot brighter now,” Bergh said. “Before [surgery], he had a likelihood of having a poor semi-normal life, but it looks better now.” Vincent has very short metal rods implanted now but over time will eventually get longer ones. Bergh said short ones were originally implanted because they are easier to learn to walk with. There is an increased chance for more problems with the bone with longer rods. Bergh also thinks this type of surgery is important in the future of animal prosthetics. “It’s one step in a marathon,” Bergh said. “There’s lots to learn, and infection is a possible problem.” Vincent has been reaching lots of people with his story.

Dr. Sarah Mary Bergh pets Vincent, who had surgery performed by Bergh to help him walk again.

Service has reached close to 700,000 views since Dec. 2. Vincent has also had his story told through Buzzfeed, ABC News and The Huffington Post. “People were very enthusiastic and amazed,” Bergh said. “People might now know that there is hope for animals with disabilities.”

Donald Trump speaks at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Dinner.

A $28,500 deposit was also made into Farook’s bank account two weeks before the attack, a possible loan taken out by the couple, FOX News reported Tuesday. Investigators are tying to figure out what the money was being used for. Trump proposes stopping all Muslim immigration Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was back to filling TV news and newspaper headlines after his campaign released a statement saying Trump backs blocking all Muslims from entering the United States until current representatives “figure out what is going on.” Trump’s release cited poll numbers that show a segment of the Muslim population believes violence against Americans is justified for the “global jihad.” Trump’s proposal was quickly met with backlash

California shooting details emerge; ISU football players earn Big 12 awards

Here’s a recap of the week’s biggest stories. Read the quick recap below, then test your knowledge with our online quiz at iowastatedaily.com. More details emerge on San Bernardino shooters Day by day, more details are emerging following last week’s terrorist attack in San Bernardino, Calif., in 14 were killed and 21 injured. Syed Rizwan Farook, the male suspect, may have planned attacks as far back as 2012, The New York Times reported Wednesday, citing law enforcement officials. Police also spoke with the suspects’ neighbors, who told authorities that he spoke of other possible attacks. The FBI said Wednesday that Tashfeen Malik, Farook’s wife, spoke about “jihad and martyrdom” online in 2013 before they lived in the United States and were married. Earlier in the week, officials said Malik pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group in a Facebook post before last week’s attack. “ISIL inspiration may well have been part of this, but these two killers were starting to radicalize towards martyrdom and jihad as early as 2013,” said FBI director James Comey during a Senate hearing Wednesday.

Students from Vet Med were also excited for Bergh and Vincent. “I am delighted that Dr. Bergh has chosen to make her career at Iowa State’s College of Veterinary Medicine,” said Lisa Nolan, dean of Veterinary Medicine. “She tackles challenging health problems every day with an expertise that is uniquely

from candidates, both Democrat and Republican. But Trump’s proposal may not be far from what most Republican voters want. A poll from Bloomberg Politics/Purple Strategies PulsePoll conducted showed 65 percent of likely Republican voters back the idea. Twenty-two percent are opposed, while 13 said they don’t know. The survey was conducted online with 605 registered voters. The margin of error is 4 percent. But in the face of terror threats, Trump is also seen as someone who can be trusted to deal with the issue. 40 percent of voters said they are very confident in Trump to deal with terror threats, according to a New York Times/CBS News poll released on Thursday. Another 31 percent said they would be confident, while only a combined 27 percent said they are “not too” or “not” confident in Trump. Another outsider, Ben Carson, has seen a slip in poll numbers recently, and the NYT/CBS poll showed only 16 percent of voters very confident in his ability to tackle terror. Ames City Council

moving to ban e-cig use The city of Ames is a step closer to banning the use of e-cigarettes throughout town. City Council voted 5-1 during its Tuesday meeting to direct the Ames city attorney to draft an ordinance prohibiting the use of e-cigarettes in all public places and in some private areas, including all enclosed areas within places of employment. The bill would mimic the Iowa Smokefree Air Act, which bans the use of traditional tobacco products such as cigarettes in almost all public places and enclosed areas within places of employment, as well as some outdoor areas.

Bright stars can be seen on a clear night across the world, but one star in the sky has been dimming. Massimo Marengo, associate professor of physics and astronomy, conducted a study examining the dimming of star KIC 8462852. In light of data from NASA’s Kepler spacecraft examined by Sarah Willis, former ISU graduate student who now works for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Lincoln Laboratory, Marengo decided to delve further into the phenomena with Willis and Alan Hulsebus, graduate assistant in physics and astronomy. Their study was published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters and mentioned on NASA’s website. Marengo was drawn to the star after hearing about it in the news, where he recalls someone had the idea that the signature of the star was unusual enough to be an indication of an unorthodox phenomenon. “A former student of mine that is now at MIT Lincoln Laboratory had the idea of checking if the data not used in the analysis was available,” Marengo said. Willis found that there was in fact public data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. Through checking if there was any emission at different wavelengths and dates after the events Kepler observed, they were able to add to the study of the star. Data from the telescope revealed that a star was

dimming up to 20 percent, something that normally doesn’t happen. “Kepler is so precise it can measure changes in the brightness of a star by [a] part per million and this was 20 percent part in five,” Marengo said. Looking through Kepler’s archives, Marengo couldn’t find evidence of any other stars dimming this significantly. They confirmed that after the unknown events that happened to the star, the star didn’t show any infrared excess. An analysis of infrared light was vital to the study because it helped discover the origin of the events that happened. Since there was no excess of infrared light detected through Spitzer, the likelihood of comets being the reason for the dimming was heightened, according to their study. “The scenario invoking the fragmentation of a family of comets on a highly elliptical orbit is ... consistent with the lack of strong infrared excess found by our analysis,” the group reported in its study published in the Astrophysical Journal. The study done by Marengo, Willis and Hulsebus was completed within a week. However, Marengo says that more data needs to be collected in order to fully prove that a comet was responsible for this unusual phenomenon. But the star’s commonality is what keeps him interested in this case. “The star itself is a perfectly normal star, which makes it more surprising,” Marengo said.

The London organization Overweight Haters Ltd has begun passing out “fat” cards to people who the organization believes weigh too much. Columnist Lawson shames this act of hatefulness and believes we need to focus less on people’s images and more on people living happy and healthy lives.

Health trumps weight Promote healthy lifestyle instead of body shaming others By Angelica.Lawson @iowastatedaily.com

s it acceptable to tell smokers they are stupid for willingly poisoning their bodies and that they should be ashamed for their horrid habit? Is it condoned for people to walk up to others who they find less than attractive and scream at them at the top of their lungs, telling them they’re ugly? No, it is not. Body shaming is not new or unheard of. In fact, it is alive and well. But there are still people who take this disgusting and rude pastime to an entire new level. People make livings by informing the public about someone’s recent weight gain or loss. There is no good, bad or happy medium for these people. You are too skinny, so you must have an eating disorder; you have too much fat, so you must go to fast-food restaurants for every meal and not care about yourself; or you’re somewhere in the middle of those two extremes. If you find yourself in that kind of limbo, you’ll most likely experience a little bit of both. People who suffer from eating disorders and people who suffer from obesity pose a cause for concern, but the way to encourage them to find a healthy weight is not by shaming them into submission. Instead, encourage them to develop a healthier lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle is not synonymous with being skinny or thin. A healthy lifestyle is living the best life

for you, your body and your medical circumstances. It’s a lifestyle in which you consume a regular amount of food and have some healthy exercise and are ultimately happy with who you are physically. Finding a way to end body shaming from both ends of the spectrum is a big task to conquer, making the goal of being happy with yourself a monumental one. People will never reach that point of acceptance if we constantly bombard them with negativity. But there is a London-based organization that calls itself the Overweight Haters Ltd, and it has been so kind as to distribute “fat” cards to people who it thinks are too fat. The purpose, I suppose, is to encourage these “fat” people to lose weight. This is what I would call the ultimate manifestation of body shaming in modern culture. The message on the cards is as follows: “Our organisation [sic]hates and resents fat people. We object to the enormous amount of food resources you consume while half the world starves. We disapprove of your wasting National Health Services [the United Kingdom’s publicly funded health care system] money to treat your selfish greed. And we do not understand why you fail to grasp that by eating less you will be better off, slimmer, happy and find a partner who is not a perverted chubby lover or even find a partner at all. We also object that the beatiful [sic] pig is used as an insult. You are not a pig. You are a fat, ugly human.” This specific act of body shaming has taken several media outlets by storm. Some applaud the group, while others are disgusted with its hateful and cowardly ways. Pointing out something that people find unappealing in people does not flip a switch in their heads to

motivate themselves to remake their bodies into society’s desired perfect image. That is just not how this whole thing works. There needs to be less of a focus on people’s images and more of a focus on arriving at a weight that makes them happy and healthy. By this I don’t mean my definition of happy and healthy, but an individual’s definition of happy and healthy. In all honesty, people need to mind themselves and their manners and maybe at that point we can start to defeat the body-shaming epidemic. The pro-body shaming crowd needs to re-evaluate why it feels so compelled to make someone feel bad, and if what it thinks it is trying to accomplish could actually accomplish anything. While the people handing out the cards think they are sending a message, it says a lot more about the person handing out fat cards and running away than about the person who carries a little more fat in their midsections. This is a bunch of people with too much time on their hands, and these hate crimes are not being tolerated in London. The police there requested that anyone who sees or receives a fat card call the police so that the Overweight Haters can be brought to justice for their hate crimes committed. It’s a good thing that the police are involved to stop this injustice. However, what the card givers were doing is just an outward expression of a popular inward opinion. So why are we so OK with allowing the inward version to continue if we deem the outward version worthy of police involvement? If anything, this should show popular culture that now, more than ever, something must be done to end the perpetuating of body shaming.

U.S. must practice what it preaches By Akol.Dok @iowastatedaily.com As an immigrant from South Sudan, I always thought the United States represented freedom, democracy, education and opportunity — qualities I want for myself and my home nation. The United States has propelled itself to the top nation in the world but not always stood by the principles it advertises. Historically, freedom wasn’t guaranteed to U.S. citizens. It took 80 years — from 1783 to 1865 — for the United States to attempt to correct its subhuman bondage of blacks. Yet after many attempts in both the courts and by lawmakers to create true freedom for all, African-Americans continue to fight for their right to be firstclass citizens 150 years after Congress supposedly did that legally. Brutal discrimination was seen during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, but it has been resurrected today with police brutality, mass incarceration of blacks and officials ignoring protesters asking for basic human rights. And, while the United States was still perpetuating unconstitutional secondclass citizenship for its citizens, it proudly went to Europe during the World Wars as liberators with the intention of freeing oppressed people but continued to

oppress within its borders. Until President Harry Truman’s executive order, blacks were discriminated against in the military. African-Americans faced the most severe form of discrimination, but other ethnic groups were victims of the hypocrisy of American freedom. Does this mean the United States had a vested national security interest though? The Office of Naval Intelligence released a report indicating no real evidence Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans presented any threat. Japanese women, children and men were all detained by the U.S. government while the U.S. military liberated Europe. America has always been the international leader, but it breached its democratic values. The United States assisted with the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, the democratically elected leader of the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa. Former Secretary of State John Foster Dulles had a share in a company in Guatemala, and, when then-President Jacob Guzman policies hurt the company’s business, he was overthrown. Dulles, along with his brother, Allen Dulles, director of the CIA, orchestrated the coup and set up a brutal dictator. America has set up dictators and brutal regimes contrary to “democracy.”

So why does the United States do it to others? What gives America the right to decide what leaders stay or go? That’s not democracy, that’s imperialism. When America liberated Europe after World War II, it continued to allow the British and French to have colonies in Africa and Asia. The French, who were under Nazi occupation, continued to brutally oppress African nations until the 1960s. I believe America can set a great example for the world because of the long way it has come from its founding. Hypocrisy exists, but this nation need not fall into that category. There was no national security issue at stake, and most external interventions have no just cause. America has no excuse because it isn’t like developing nations. It must be the leaders of freedom and stand by democracy even when it disagrees with other country’s leaders. In recent years, former President George Bush and President Barack Obama have been responsible for unjust interventions that have created a power vacuum in regions resulting in the rise of terror groups. Democracy is a process, and nations must learn it at their own paces. America must promote progress and encourage extensive practice to perfect governmental practices. The American Congress has been unproductive,

and the executive branch oversteps its powers; I don’t think they have room to tell another nation how to run its government. These issues are occurring today, from the Supreme Court rejection of citizens who claim habeas corpus while detained in Guantanamo Bay to presidential candidates proposing anti-Muslim. What’s the excuse? There isn’t one. National security is the only option, but national security can’t be proactive in other national affairs. America has progressed, but its concept of freedom doesn’t apply to the entire globe. The freedom America stands for is limited to a select few, and the rest continue to be oppressed by the wrath of American imperialism. America must continue to stand up for freedom and keep granting freedom and liberty to all, regardless of any demographic. America loses credibility when it stands for freedom but, at the same time, is responsible for depriving freedom. Nations must not be tolerant of others but understanding. One must try to understand what is going on with another before making an irrational decision. The American freedom I came to this country for must be upheld and not deprived from people but granted to them.

Tips to surviving Finals Week Syndrome The symptoms of the epidemic are spreading throughout campus: A hunched back with tensed shoulders pouring over a semester’s worth of scribbled notes, and bloodshot eyes due to hours of scrolling through old lecture notes on the faces of worn-out and weary students. The symptoms of Finals Week Syndrome. The disease resurfaces about every four months, and thousands and thousands of college students are susceptible to the illness. The syndrome can also cause students to behave far differently than their normal personality: drinking copious amounts of coffee — much more than the daily allowance of 400 mg of caffeine — showering less, eating more pizza and Doritos after midnight and, the most telling sign of Finals Week Syndrome, spending an unhealthy amount of time sitting in the library. The stress of Finals Week is unavoidable. Grades, as well as sanity, are at stake. No cure exists, but there are a few coping mechanisms. We’ve got a few helpful tips and positive thoughts for you to survive this Finals Week. 1. Remember, this too shall pass. 2. Get up and take a walk. Your brain can really only handle so much of that advanced coding class for a certain amount of time — about an hour, actually — so focus 100 percent for an hour then take a 10 minute walk around campus and listen to a few favorite songs. 3. Go to sleep before 11 p.m. OK, realistically, 1 a.m. 4. Whatever you do, do not try to watch Netflix while you study. Your studying and your favorite Scandal character will both feel neglected. 5. Don’t get the extra shot of espresso. You can’t write notes if your hand is twitching with false energy. 6. Use your favorite pen when filling out the study guide. 7. Think to yourself in a different accent when reviewing notes or lecture slides. It makes it more fun. 8. When you’re all done, you’re going to feel as light as the floating feather in Forrest Gump. 9. Eat a cookie. 10. Delete a few apps off your phone to minimize distraction. Just the unnecessary ones and just for the time being. Tinder and Candy Crush can wait until Dec. 19. 11. Wear your favorite article of clothing to the final you are looking forward to the least. It’ll boost your confidence and put at least a little pep in your step. 12. There is a light at the end of the tunnel; it’s called freedom. Stay calm, push forward and may the curve be ever in your favor.

ISU guard Jadda Buckley is fouled by Iowa’s Claire Till during last season’s CyHawk game on Dec. 11, 2014 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The Cyclones lost the game 76-67 and will enter this year’s game as underdogs when they take the court against the Hawkeyes, who are ranked No. 23 in the nation, on Friday at Hilton Coliseum. The home team has won each matchup since the 2006-07 season, when Iowa State defeated Iowa in Iowa City.

Cyclones enter as underdogs Iowa enters as favorite in CyHawk game By Trey.Alessio @iowastatedaily.com The visiting team hasn’t had the easiest time in the women’s basketball CyHawk rivalry during the past few seasons. Ever since the 2006-07 season, when the Cyclones beat the Hawkeyes in Iowa City, the home team has emerged victorious. This season, though, that could change. ISU women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly said No. 23 Iowa (8-1, 0-0 Big 10), which will visit Iowa State (43, 0-0 Big 12) on Friday night

at Hilton Coliseum, enters as the better team on paper. The Hawkeyes are ranked No. 23 in the AP poll and No. 19 in the USA Today coaches poll. “Their efficiency on offense and their balance on offense is incredible,” Fennelly said. “They shoot the ball great. Their balance from one to five is not something that many college teams can say that they have. Ally Disterhoft is as good a player as we’re going to play all year-long.” Iowa may be the better team on paper, but Iowa State has the benefit of being at home. Dating back to 1996, Iowa State hasn’t lost to Iowa at Hilton Coliseum. “This series has become one where the home team has kind of dominated, and this is the first time that I can

remember where the visiting team is better than the home team,” Fennelly said. “I’m not insulting our team, but they’re in the top 25, and we’re not. They’re 8-1. We’re 4-3. We’ve got a lot to prove.” The coaching staff is challenging the players every day to understand what’s on the line. Fennelly said that mindset and approach needs to be embraced — especially against Iowa. Iowa State is coming off of a couple of wins against Northern Iowa and Southern. Winning the month of December has been Iowa State’s mantra as of late, and the team can go 3-0 in the month with a win Friday. “We have a focus on December. Anything that’s happened before then, it’s not in our heads right now,” said senior Kidd Blaskowsky.

“We have a short-term goal for December that is very important to our coaches and to us, and Iowa is a part of December. We’re going to have to buy into the coaches’ plan and embrace that process.” The plan for stopping the Hawkeyes isn’t a big secret. The Cyclones need to focus on the little things to slow down the Hawkeyes. “They have a great program with great players,” Fennelly said. “For us, you can’t stop everything. You try to be smart about it — keep them off the free-throw line and try to take away a couple things. At the end of the day, we’ve got to play better offensively. Our balance has got to be better. “We’ve got to make more shots. I’m more worried about our [offense] than

our defense.” Iowa State will also have to slow down Disterhoft. Disterhoft is shooting 53 percent from the field and 88 percent from the free-throw line. She’s averaging 16.1 points per game. “It’s hard to [slow down Disterhoft] because they put her in a lot of spots,” Fennelly said. “She understands the game. She knows when to be aggressive and when not to be. You don’t stop great players. You try to take away a couple things.” Iowa State has to avoid committing any “silly fouls” and not getting beat in transition. Fennelly hopes the team can make Iowa guard at the other end to wear it out a bit. “This game is going to prove a lot,” said junior Seanna Johnson. “Our match-

Student helps spread lacrosse in Iowa By Mary.Rominger @iowastatedaily.com ISU women’s lacrosse club midfielder Jessica Koeger has goals on the lacrosse field and even bigger ones off of the field. Koeger, the club’s president, has noticed the underwhelming amount of knowledge and participation in the sport in Iowa and is striving to reverse that trend. The lacrosse club has obtained consistent and continuous success in its performance on the field. The team has maintained a winning record in the past three years, and it even

played in its first national championship in club history last season. But for Koeger, the team’s performance on the field is not enough to be entirely successful. “I came to the team just wanting to play lacrosse, but the team became a bigger part of my life, and I wanted to grow lacrosse and take on more responsibility,” Koeger said. Koeger, a Colorado native, became well aware of the lack of participation that ISU students had from the first day she started with the club. “When I joined the team, there were only enough girls to fill spots

and grow the team.” Koeger expanded her goal to bring attention to ISU lacrosse all the way to local elementary schools and middle schools in hopes of giving younger generations knowledge about the sport. She hoped it would influence their athletic lives. Koeger has had a hand in the advancement of boys and girls lacrosse in Iowa. Now it is being implemented within physical education systems in grade schools. The women’s lacrosse club has diversity in its skill and is on path to reach remarkable accomplishments and set the tone in

the sport. “Now the word is out, and there are more girls coming from different places like Illinois and Minnesota,” Koeger said. “Going to nationals has put our name out there. We have a variety of talents, and so we are led to more success because of that.” As her career on the team winds down, Koeger has full intention to keep her legacy at Iowa State for years after she’s gone. “I’m hoping that we continue to reach out to our school and community as well as work on our skills sets and to just get better in participating in nationals,” Koeger said.

ISU wrestling to face unique tactics By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com Different wrestling styles will collide at Hilton Coliseum on Saturday as Iowa State (2-2, 0-0 Big 12) takes on Wyoming (1-1, 0-0 Big 12). All season, ISU coach Kevin Jackson has preached the importance of getting the team’s offense going early in the match and staying aggressive. Wyoming, on the other hand, has no problem battling out a close match. Wyoming tries to slow down the match by throwing in legs. Its goal is to get the riding time point. “They’re a little different tactically than how we want to approach how to win matches,” Jackson said. “Sometimes, when guys are that controlled and that defensive, it really forces you to bring a lot of energy and intensity to create scoring opportunities.” A lot of that energy could be expended trying to get escapes in order to get out from the bottom position. However, if the Cyclones explode from the bottom position, they shouldn’t have a problem. Once they’re in a neutral position, Jackson wants one thing to happen. “We have to look to score points,” Jackson said. “We have to look to score takedowns. And when we get the takedowns, we have

Senior 133-pound wrestler Earl Hall stares down Iowa opponent Cory Clark during the Iowa Corn CyHawk Series dual Nov. 29 at Hilton Coliseum. Hall is one of the Iowa State’s most aggressive wrestlers, and he and the rest of the team will host to Wyoming at Hilton Coliseum on Saturday. It will be the Cyclones’ first conference dual of the 2015-16 season.

to continue to look to get takedowns and look to score at the end of the periods.” Wyoming will be Iowa State’s first conference dual of the year. The Cowboys joined the Big 12 for wrestling during the offseason. They have some strong wrestlers, namely No. 13 Ben Stroh at 174 pounds.

Iowa State’s 174-pounder, Lelund Weatherspoon, didn’t have the tournament he wanted at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas invitational. This match could provide a good bounce back for Weatherspoon. “He has to be the Lelund we know he’s capable of being, and that’s a more aggressive, attack mode, big-

move type of guy,” Jackson said. “That’s a feature match for sure for us. “He has not shown us the true Lelund Weatherspoon yet. There’s been flashes, but we need [him] on Saturday.” One guy that did emerge from the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational is the 184-pound Dane Pes-

tano. Pestano wrestled some tough matches in the past two duals. “It gives me a lot of confidence knowing that I can hang with some of the top people in the country,” Pestano said. “[I] just have to keep moving forward and learn every day.” “Pestano has to con-

tinue to believe he has more offense than his opponent,” Jackson said. Earl Hall, at 133 pounds, is arguably Iowa State’s most aggressive wrestler. “[A win] would be great going into this break we have coming up,” Hall said. “Honestly, we are just looking to dominate.”

ISU swimming, diving preps for rivalry ISU swimming and diving will meet the Hawkeyes for the 36th time in school history Friday at Beyer Hall. Swimming and diving may not attract as many fans as basketball or football, but that doesn’t mean the rivalry is less intense. “Two years ago, it was

[Iowa dive coach Todd Waikel’s] first time experiencing the Iowa-ISU meet, and he didn’t think it was that big of a deal,” said ISU head swim coach Duane Sorenson. “One of the Iowa divers threw an outstanding dive, and he turned to [ISU dive coach Jeff Warrick] and said, ‘I get it now.’” Although the competition is usually on friendly terms, it is not uncommon

to see athletes give their absolute best in the competition. “It doesn’t make any difference if you’re a top kid or a mid-range kid, everyone just competes at such a higher level,” Sorenson said. The CyHawk athletic events are always big. A trophy was established in 2004, and points are given to each school after each win in different sports. The last time

the Cyclones won the CyHawk swim and dive meet was in the 2009-10 season. Two years ago, the Cyclones set team and pool records. In her freshman year, current junior Karyl Clarete set the top time in school history in the 500, 1,000 and 1,650-yard freestyle races. On the diving boards, thensophomore Elyse Brouillette got the second-best diving score on the 3-meter board

with six dives. Brouillette was also named the Big 12 Diver of the Week for the first time this season. She took home five, top-four finishes in six events during two recent diving invitationals. “We swam outstandingly at the meet. They were just that much better than us that day,” Sorenson said of the 112-point loss last year to Iowa. “Even though it was

over 100 points, the races were much closer than what it really looked like.” But the Cyclones aren’t expecting that this year. Sorenson thinks the homepool advantage could help in close races. “We think it is going to be one of the best dual meets in school history this year,” Sorenson said. The meet will kick off at 6 p.m. Friday in Beyer Hall.

CYHAWK p1 “They really play around him,” Niang said of Uthoff at a press conference Monday. “Be interesting to see if he’s going to come out more aggressive than he has in the past years.” Niang quickly got his answer. With Niang in his face, Uthoff hit his third 3-pointer of the game early in the first half. Niang turned toward ISU coach Steve Prohm and looked at his coach as if to ask, “What am I supposed to do?” Uthoff seemingly couldn’t miss, leading Iowa to a large lead and sending Iowa State into the locker room down 14 points. The Cyclones clamped

minutes of the second half, but Iowa State began to chip away. “We just needed to get it to single digits,” Prohm said. A Morris fast-break

dunk did just that with 9:35 left. The lead was cut to five points with eight minutes to go. A Georges Niang 3-pointer cut it a single point with 5:55 left. It went back and

forth from that point, with Iowa building its lead back up just to have it taken away again in dramatic fashion in the closing minute. Down six points with 1:42 left, Thomas hit a corner 3-pointer to cut it back to three with just over a minute remaining. Iowa State put on a press, and McKay’s length forced Iowa into a 5-second violation. With 51 seconds left, Niang hit a pair of free throws to cut it back to one. That’s when McKay started looking for the magic. A defensive stop and a Morris floater later, he found his answer. Hilton Magic? “That’s the only magic I truly believe in,” McKay said.
