StuGov to vote on rights Senators to discuss expansion of ISU free-speech zone By Zach.Clemens @iowastatedaily.com

Student Government senator serves as liaison to City Council

Student Government will debate and vote on a number of resolutions, including expanding the free-speech zones on campus and creating an umbrella rental program, during its last meeting of the semester Wednesday night. The free-speech zones on campus are located west of the Hub and on the south Campanile lawn. The resolution passing through the Senate would recommend making the entire grassy area on Central Campus a free-speech zone for students, faculty and the hundreds of student organizations. The area west of the Hub would still be available to groups outside of the university to demonstrate. There have been concerns this year with campus preachers at the free-speech zone harassing students. This resolution aims to curb some of those issues. “We want to have a way for students to be able to recruit and not have to go through a

Although he doesn’t have a vote to cast with the six elected members of Ames City Council, he does have a voice. Sam Schulte, senior in biochemistry, said he prefers civics to politics. Now, with his skill in civics, he’s attempting to serve the ISU student body by acting as its advocate. Since his first semester at Iowa State, Schulte has served students as a senator in Student Government. Once Dan Breitbarth was elected Student Government president last spring, he had to appoint students to fill his cabinet.

UDCC expands its menu ISU Dining brings new dishes to satisfy international food cravings By Jake.Dalbey @iowastatedaily.com New changes will soon come to the Union Drive Marketplace international food choices and services. Among one of the fastest growing food trends associated with young adults is experimenting with and eating foods and spice profiles of international origin, a trend seen and acted upon by Union Drive Community Center’s chef de cuisine Jeremy Bowker. “A lot of times students in general, not just international students, are liking the international style of the foods and the flavor profiles that go along with them, so we’re trying to add as many international options as

possible without overloading the menu,” Bowker said. One of the biggest contributors in satisfying the growing popularity and demand for international cuisine is the simple plate stand inside of UDCC, where a variety of new options are tested with students. “In simple plate, you’ll see international influence,” Bowker said. “This is mainly due to international food profiles being very heavy.” “For example, the noodle bowl and quinoa bowl are offered every other Thursday and act as a base where we can add different flavors such as sriracha.” Though these types of dishes have seen an increase in production and variety inside of the dining center, pleasing all international taste buds still remains

an issue as ingredients can often be hard to come by in the United States. “Just like anyone, international students want that type of homestyle food they are used to, but it can be difficult for us to give it to them sometimes just because we can’t get the product,” Bowker said. “We had someone from Indonesia, and we made tempeh, so I asked how they wanted it, and they responded with lots of chilies and crazy spice, but it just doesn’t work in this kind of environment.” However, ISU Dining has made efforts to raise satisfaction with international dishes by using new ingredients and products.

Board to vote on tuition rates for 2016-17 By Mitchel.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa Board of Regents will meet Wednesday in Ames, where it will vote to approve the 2016-2017 tuition rates and mandatory fees for the three state schools, vote to award two honorary doctorate degrees and vote on the demolition of a vacant building at Iowa State. The regents will vote on whether to approve the proposed tuition rates and mandatory fees for the 2016-2017 academic year. Under the proposed tuition rates, Iowa State and the University of Northern Iowa would not see an increase to undergraduate resident tuition after the 3 percent increase for the spring 2016 semester. The University of Iowa’s tuition was not increased for spring 2016, but it will increase 3 percent for the 2016-2017 academic year.

Also under the proposed plan is an increase to international student fees at Iowa State for the 2016-2017 school year. International student fees would increase by $500 every year for three years,

totaling a $1,500 increase after three years. Iowa State cited an “increased need for services” just as there are for all students, add research. Some international students

at Iowa State have raised questions about the increase and what the money would be used for. Another item on the board’s agenda is a vote to approve Iowa State’s request to award an hon-

The building was built in 1949 and was expanded in 1988, but it hasn’t been used in several years. The university cites deficiencies in the building and “extensive deferred maintenance” as the main reasons for demolition of the building.

Engineers try to find new way to travel By Felipe.Cabrera @iowastatedaily.com ISU students are working to accomplish a goal that could change the way the world travels. Engineering seniors Andrew Kitahara, materials engineering, and Brandon Klosterman, mechanical engineering, brought together a team of 50 engineering students to design and build a Hyperloop pod for the SpaceX Hyperloop Competition. A hyperloop is a transportation device concept created by Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla Motors, that would go from San Francisco to Los Angeles. A pod would transport humans and cargo by shooting through a loop at 700 mph, ultimately replacing the need for a high-speed bullet train. “This pod goes inside

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla Motors, is hosting a competition in which students have to build a Hyperloop pod that would transport humans and cargo at 700 mph.

this tube, and this tube has a low-pressure atmosphere,” Klosterman said. “This pod is going to levitate through this lowpressure atmosphere and have lower drag.”

ISU SpaceX Hyperloop team formed last June when Kitahara read an article about Musk’s challenge to university students to design and build the best pod. After running into Klosterman on the street, the two decided to form a team that began to grow through the engineering students they knew on campus. The team recruited by posting fliers in all the engineering buildings, electronic posters on television and by simple word of mouth. “This is completely ... student-led design, multidisciplinary design,” Klosterman said. “It’s a full system design from complete napkin sketches to full-blown, ‘Hey, here’s our final pod.’” Kitahara said the beginning phases of design started by meshing their own ideas for features and SpaceX’s own criteria for the Hyperloop pod and addressing

issues with the technology. The challenge the team faces is how they can address these engineering hurdles before they move forward without getting in too deep and not making any design progress, Kitahara said. One of the issues they face is the logistics of making a several thousand-pound vessel float, which involves complicated fluid dynamics. Another issue is creating an atmosphere humans can survive in while the pod moves through a partial vacuum. “We have to go into brainstorming, thinking how we can address these problems,” Kitahara said. “We know that this technology has problems and limitations, there’s a reason why it doesn’t exist already.” Kitahara said the hardest part is trying to make the technology sustainable. The pod must be environmentally friendly, he said,

which they will remedy with a solar-powered electrical system. The pod also needs to be financially competitive and cost-efficient enough that passengers can travel from San Francisco to Los Angeles with a $20, one-way ticket. Kitahara said social acceptability is another key aspect, as well as safety. “Ideally, we’d be running these pods in twominute intervals. Getting passengers from L.A. to San Francisco in an half an hour,” Kitahara said. “Whether it be work or play, this project has a niche here between two cities that are that far away from each other.” There isn’t a definitive prize for winning the SpaceX Hyperloop Competition, but university pride is the biggest prize Kitahara and Klosterman hope to win for ISU. “The whole purpose

of doing this is to show what Iowa State University is capable of producing,” Kitahara said. “I love this university. I love this school. I think we have an absolutely amazing engineering program. “Our biggest incentive is just to be a part of this project.” Klosterman said he wants to get other students involved in a real-world experience outside of the classroom. “You can sit there and do calculation after calculation, I know for me personally I’ve asked professors how this stuff applies to the real world, and I know everyone doesn’t do that.” The SpaceX Hyperloop team is expanding its horizons outside of engineering, looking into students in design, business and advertising. The team meets from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursdays in Carver 0018.

Elect Her pushes for women in politics By Kyndal.Reimer @iowastatedaily.com While women make up half of the population, they aren’t equally represented across the political spectrum. According to The Nation, a weekly journal dedicated to news and politics, women make up less than 20 percent of congressional seats. Elect Her, a national program striving to prepare high schooland college-aged women to run for student government as well as for office, is promoting leadership. The program was created in collaboration between the American Association of University Women and Running Start. Both founding organizations focus on

empowering women and addressing the issue of the gender gap in politics. According to Elect Her’s mission statement, it is the “only program in the country that encourages and trains college women to run for student government and future political office. Elect Her addresses the need to expand the pipeline of women candidates and to diminish the longstanding political leadership gender gap.” Fifty campuses across the United States will host the 2016 Elect Her training workshop. Iowa State will host the Elect Her workshop for the first time on Jan. 23. At the workshop, a facilitator will come from the Elect Her program, and there will be exercises to help students think about what their campaign might be and what issues are important

to them. An elected female office holder will come and speak,along with a panel of women who are currently or have served in student government at Iowa State to give some advice and perspective. Kelly Winfrey, assistant professor of journalism and mass communication and coordinator for research and outreach at the Carrie Chapman Catt Center, has been working on organizing the workshop by planning, inviting speakers and promoting the event. “At Iowa State, as well as most other universities, women are underrepresented in student government,” Winfrey said. “[Women] make up a large amount of the student population but less of a percentage in student government. This holds

true big picture as well at both national and local political levels. It’s especially important for girls to start getting involved early on in the college scene.” The event is aimed toward college students and the faculty. Elect Her encourages faculty members to invite women to get involved. Women are more likely to get involved if they are made welcome to do so, Winfrey said. Winfrey noted that the point she hopes the program gets across is that women should feel encouraged and invited to get involved in politics on campus and beyond. According to Elect Her, in 2015, 76 percent of the program’s workshop participants who reported running for campus office won. To RSVP, contact Winfrey at kwinfrey@iastate.edu or the Catt

Charlie Sheen announced last month that he is HIV positive. The negative reaction he received continues as a manifestation of the negative stigma that is attached to the virus. Even though anyone can be infected with HIV and have a high likelihood of living a full, healthy life, the negative associations persist.

Charlie Sheen has HIV ... so? Hollywood star proves stigma still attached to disease By Maddy.Beiwel @iowastatedaily.com “I’m tired of pretending I’m not special,” said Charlie Sheen in early 2011 to Jeff Rossen of NBC. This declaration was accompanied by the revelation that he had a hitherto unknown substance called “tiger’s blood” running through his veins, accompanied by “Adonis DNA.” The interview, which came after a debacle that would conclude with Sheen’s firing from the hit TV show “Two and a Half Men.” We now know that these were not the light-hearted, albeit manic, ramblings of a semi-delusional man. Sheen’s binge on drugs, alcohol and prostitutes was, in his own words, a “suicide run.” Because four years ago, about the time we were all chanting “Winning!” at each other and sporting Adonis DNA T-shirts, Sheen was coming to terms with the fact that he had been diagnosed with HIV. Freddie Mercury, Magic Johnson, Rock Hudson and Eazy-E were all respected men in our society who contracted human immunodeficiency virus. In three of these cases, HIV progressed into AIDS, which led to Eazy-E’s and Mercury’s subsequent deaths. The New York Times reported that though HIV has been circulating throughout the population for more than 100 years, it only really became an issue in the United States during the early 80s, AVERT.com said. It was first recorded as manifesting as a rare type of lung cancer called Kaposi’s sarcoma, which aggressively impacts the skin, mouth and lymph nodes. Originally it was known as gayrelated immune deficiency because

the public perception was that it only spread among gay men. While this perception was obviously inaccurate, it fanned the fire of demonization against homosexuals and caused phrases such as “Got AIDS yet?” and “AIDS kills fags dead.” While we now know that HIV can affect any person, regardless of class, race, gender or sexual orientation, there is still a stigma surrounding HIV in the United States and throughout the world. This stigma includes the beliefs that HIV is transmitted solely through sex, is the result of “personal irresponsibility,” AVERT.com said, or “moral fault” and can be spread through everyday actions such as handshakes or hugging. There is also self-stigma, which is the shame experienced by people diagnosed with HIV. It can deteriorate their “ability to live positively,” The People Living with HIV Stigma Index. In some cases it can lead to a decrease in their adherence to treatment and care. This can be the result of previous misconceptions about the disease or anger at themselves because they feel they should have been more careful or known better. Every year, 50,000 new people are infected with HIV, and, as the number grows, the perception of HIV changes. While once it was a death sentence, HIV can be treated with a mix of antiretroviral drugs that can greatly extend the person’s life, according to Aidsmap. The goal is to increase the amount of time for HIV to evolve into AIDS. These drugs decrease the person’s “viral load,” meaning the amount of HIV in their body. This greatly decreases the risk of transmission between partners. According to his doctor Robert Huizenga, Sheen’s viral load is, much like approximately 90 percent of HIVpositive people’s, undetectable. While HIV is incurable, Sheen is very unlikely to pass on the virus. People with HIV are just as likely

to live full, healthy lives. So why does the public still react to a proclamation of positive status as some huge, life-shattering thing that shifts the entire view of the person? What’s more, people are coming out of the woodwork to say it was obvious based on the way he acts or looks, with the baffling implication that HIV is in a person’s expression, skin tone or schedule. We are not in the height of AIDS terror anymore, and digs at Sheen for being HIV positive are digs at all who share that status. Rock Hudson revealed his HIVpositive status in July 1985 and died in October that same year. I wasn’t around at that time, but I believe that the waif-thin, frail appearance of a man who was once the pinnacle of masculinity helped to mold the country’s view of what an HIV-positive person looks and acts like. After his death, Hudson was blasted not just for his positive status but for his homosexuality. I like to think that we’ve moved past that. HIV is not the death sentence it once was, but there is still shame attached to it. Unlike other celebrities who put off admitting they had the infection until the last possible minute, Sheen stepped out into the light and took the blow to his chest. In an open letter, he stated that he was “claiming back his life.” He writes, “I accept this condition not as a curse or scourge but rather as an opportunity and a challenge. An opportunity to help others. A challenge to better myself … My philanthropic days are ahead of me.” These statements have been met with skepticism. Even now, rumors are swirling about Sheen’s conduct, and we can expect more in the future. The media chatters and speculates and, even if a speculation or two proves true, the fact remains that what he did was noble and brave. The act surpasses Sheen as a person and provides a beacon for those facing the same diagnosis.

Money cannot buy maternal affection By Beth.Woodruff @iowastatedaily.com Mothers. We can’t always live with them, but you can’t live without them. We don’t always want to hear their advice, and their insatiable craving for hugs can sometimes get on our nerves. But one woman has set out to capitalize on this precarious relationship between a mother and her child, putting a potential wedge between them. Nina Keneally, mother of two from New York City, recently developed a service known as Need a Mom, which bears the slogan, “When you need a mom, just not your mom.” The idea of the service came to Keneally when she noticed young adults approaching her when she was in yoga class or cafés. The millennials would strike up conversations with her, and, after listening, she would provide her best motherly advice. Unfortunately, Keneally soon realized that instead of giving free advice she could capitalize on her maternal skills, almost

taking advantage of struggling young adults. Keneally’s service is targeting our generation, people in their 20s and 30s. She provides numerous services for individuals who hire her, including advice or help cooking, and she will even buy, wrap and ship a present to your real mother for you. She will do all of this for the “low” price of $40 per hour. She is of course willing to “consider” a sliding scale for people who can’t quite afford her steep prices but still need help navigating adulthood. While I could see this service being beneficial to kids growing up without a mother figure, it is not the best option for young adults with access to their real mothers. The business practice undermines a child’s relationship with his or her true parent. Jane Adams, social psychologist, discussed Keneally’s new business with Yahoo Parenting. While Adams acknowledged that while most children experience a mismatch in understanding with their parents, as well as

parental narcissism, when a mother views her child as an extension as herself, early adulthood is the best time to patch the mother-child relationship. She stated that adults’ early 20s are the years that determine their future relationship with their mothers. While renting a mom could be great for early adults who cannot get in contact with their mother, it also has the potential to compromise standing family relationships as millennials can choose a stranger for advice and nurturing over their own mother. Keneally’s business seems to contradict everything it is trying to promote. Need a Mom’s home page states that Nina’s practice will avoid questioning a client’s lifestyle choices and being judgmental. However, Keneally said in an interview with Today.com about screening prospective clients: “I’m pretty good at picking out the weirdos.” This statement contradicts her message of being an anti-judgmental mother who will offer loving advice, as she

will decline to take people on as clients for being “weirdos.” Along with the previous contradiction, the business as a whole seems to step on the toes of the all-important motherchild relationship. A mother’s role is to nurture her child, providing advice and help when it is needed. Keneally is marketing herself as a mother at the expense of young adults in need of real help. When Keneally found out she provided good advice to younger friends in yoga class or her neighbors she chose to charge extraordinarily high prices to continue doing so rather than listening out of kindness. A relationship with a mother is something that cannot be bought or sold. Despite the differences between most moms and their children, there is a bond that cannot be replaced by any stranger, no matter how good that stranger thinks she is at giving advice. Most importantly, maternal advice is something that needs to come from a loving heart and not from the drive for a paycheck.

Pollard puts fans, players first during coach hunt Just one day after the ISU football team played, and lost, its final game of the season, and after saying one final goodbye to its coach, ISU fans had new hope for their team. ISU Athletics Director Jamie Pollard hired a new head coach Sunday. Toledo’s Matt Campbell will take over the program. Fans and players only had a one-day gap without a leader for their program, which shows the athletics department and Pollard were putting those people first. Pollard has had a challenging year, both personally and professionally, to say the least. Pollard had a heart attack and a bypass surgery in March before he had to replace one of the most successful men’s basketball coaches in ISU history. And, to top off his year, Pollard had to fire a beloved and “so proud” head football coach because he just simply was not winning enough. Quite frankly, one of those searches would seem to be a pretty tall order. How do you go about finding someone to fill the giant shoes of the Mayor, a larger-than-life figure loved by every ISU fan? And how do you find a talented football coach — while many other more historically prestigious programs are searching for head coaches at the same time — who is willing to take on a team with five wins in the last two seasons? Despite these huge obstacles, it is clear the athletic department made an effort to not only hire new coaches who it felt were right for the jobs but do it in a way that was best for fans and players. The handling of these hirings, especially Campbell’s, seems to be done promptly and professionally. This year’s ISU football team seems to be one of the most talented in recent years, with numerous young offensive standouts gracing the roster. It can’t be easy for those players to lose their well-liked leader and most other coaches on staff who they know and work with. Assuming that with this in mind the athletic department wanted to act fast partly to reassure players and allow them to familiarize themselves with the new coaches as soon as possible. Additionally, as soon as a new coach is hired, the coach and his new staff can begin recruiting future players. A quick coaching search seemed to benefit fans as well. Rhoads was obviously not fired because of a poor relationship with fans or players. Many fans appreciated his passion for Iowa State and his emotions on the sidelines and locker room, so it was disappointing it didn’t work out for him. Instead of dwelling on the loss of a loving coach or a three-win season or even all the what-if games, fans could focus on learning about the new coach as well as following new assistant coach hires and watching new recruits sign. Overall, the athletic department had two of what could have been very negative situations on its hands, but the department handled both of them well while at the same time putting the fans and players first.

ISU grabs victory after scare By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com

Emily Blobaum/Iowa State Daily

ISU forward Jameel McKay dunks against North Dakota State on Tuesday. McKay scored 15 points and recorded 19 rebounds in Iowa State’s win.

Recently hired football coach Matt Campbell walked off the court during the under-eight media timeout in the first half to a thunderous round of applause after addressing the nearly sold-out crowd at Hilton Coliseum. Campbell went over to the stands and started taking selfies with students. Hilton Magic was alive and well — there was no need for any concern. Then, suddenly, there was silence. It was as if every fan in the arena was suddenly gone. Had a pin dropped on the court, it would have been audible from every corner of the coliseum. Georges Niang was down. Hilton Coliseum had come to a standstill. “I was just scared at first,” Niang said. “We banged knee to knee, and I just didn’t know what to think. I really couldn’t feel what was going on.” Niang was helped up and limped off the court

directly to the locker room. Minutes later, he was back on the bench. Not long after, he was back in the game. It was just a small contusion in his right thigh. But it was enough. “You could hear it,” said Naz Mitrou-Long. “Everyone went silent because you’re just worried. That’s one of our best players, if not our best player. When he goes down, it’s tough. It’s a scary sight to see.” Shortly after Niang left the game, North Dakota State (4-2, 0-0 Summit League) was able to tie it up, 27-27. No. 5 Iowa State (6-0, 0-0 Big 12) mustered a quick 9-0 run to close out the half, though, heading into the locker room up 36-30. Yet the Bison wouldn’t disappear in the second half, sticking around through the first several minutes — until center Jameel McKay had something to say about it. McKay finished the game with a career-high 19 rebounds, the most by a Cyclone since 2005. His presence inside, along with his 15 points, was enough to push the Cyclones comfortably ahead of North Dakota

State. “Nineteen rebounds, 15 points and three blocks — that’s pretty good,” said head coach Steve Prohm. “Jameel’s terrific. Everybody knows what he means to our team. I said it the other day, he’s capable of getting 18, 19 rebounds … There’s nobody else in the country rebounding at that level.” McKay, who nearly had his 20th rebound in the final minutes of the game, credits his teammates for their help in his big night inside. Without their help, he said, the outcome would have been much different. “My teammates helped me out, boxing their [men] out and just leaving me oneon-one to get the rebound, so I’m happy because of that,” McKay said. “It was just a great overall team win.” The Cyclones extended their lead quickly in the latter portion of the second half, going on multiple runs. By the end of their 84-64 win, one wouldn’t have been able to tell that the Cyclones struggled through the first 30 minutes of the game.

That, Prohm said, can be attributed to team defense. “We’ve got such a good offensive ability to score to where if we can continue to get stops even on nights where we’re struggling like we were at times offensively against this team … we can finally hit you,” Prohm said. As for Niang, the senior finished with 15 points — 13 of which came in the second half — and six rebounds. After the game, Niang was joking around with teammates as usual. He’s good to go. “I just got a charley horse,” Niang said. “I probably overreacted a little bit, but I was seriously in pain. I’m good, I’m healthy. I’ll be ready to go next time we practice.” And as for Prohm and the rest of the team, they’re just happy that they didn’t lose one of their best players. “I got sad instantly,” McKay said. “I’m just happy he’s alright. He’s the heart and soul of our team, and he’s the best player in the country. We need him every night.”

Cyclones travel north for fifth straight road game By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com The ISU women’s basketball team hasn’t had the easiest non-conference schedule, particularly in the past four games, playing teams that are a combined 21-6 this season. And Iowa State (2-3, 0-0 Big 12) will face another tough team when it travels to Northern Iowa (3-2, 0-0 MVC) for a 7 p.m. game on Wednesday night. The Cyclones are coming off a 1-3 four-game stretch “They’re very good; very good,” said head coach Bill

Fennelly. “They’ve played very well up to this point. Certainly any in-state game you play is going to be hard. On the road, they’re even harder.” It will also mark the team’s fifth straight road game. The last time the Cyclones played five straight road games, not including the postseason, came in the 2008-09 season, when the team played six straight. Iowa State went 4-2 in that span. “It’s a little difficult, especially when we’ve been playing the way we’ve been playing,” said forward Bryanna Fernstrom.

Iowa State scheduled a game against New Orleans on Nov. 22 that was postponed because of travel issues. The Cyclones then traveled to Cancun, Mexico, for a three-game swing, going 1-2. The game against New Orleans was intended to act as a break in the road games. “The New Orleans game was really a bad thing for us,” Fennelly said. “That was a chance for us to play, for not any other reason [than] that it [breaks] up the road trips and gets you more into a flow.” It doesn’t help that the Cyclones are a young team,

with three freshmen and only two seniors. Ever since the struggles began against Drake on Nov. 15, the Cyclones haven’t been able to come home to try and break that streak. One of the key players the team may be missing is freshman Bridget Carleton, who took a shot to the face against Duke last week and needed stitches. Fennelly said only seven players were healthy enough to fully practice Monday. Most of the players who are injured will be a gametime decision if they play Wednesday. “Whoever is healthy

enough to suit up and wear a uniform, we expect to play

well and play hard,” Fennelly said. “No one wants to hear your excuses, no one wants to hear you feel sorry for yourself. That’s the message to the team, and we’ve got to play better.” Although the Cyclones will enter the game with a thin lineup, UNI will be going in with a full head of steam. The Panthers went to Cancun during the break as well, beating Georgia Tech and almost knocking off No. 22 Seton Hall. “Our schedule has been very, very good up to this point, and it’s not going to change on Wednesday,” Fennelly said.

What to do with holiday leftovers Make the most out of excessive amounts of food By Jenna.Hrdlicka @iowastatedaily.com The holiday season is a time to celebrate with friends and family, relax, travel and, of course, eat lots of wonderful food. Mountains of mashed potatoes, copious amounts of turkey and bowls of iconic cranberry sauce fill the tables during gatherings with loved ones. Then you end up with too much food. What to do with the leftovers after everyone has eaten their share? Here’s a few ideas for creatively handling the extra food. Try a new recipe Multiple bloggers and food websites offer fun,

unique recipes featuring leftovers. By using leftovers wisely, a person can potentially plan meals for days after their holiday meal. Food 52, Eating Well and The Roasted Roost offer irresistible recipes ranging from breakfast burritos to smoky bacon and turkey chowder. Searching sites such as Pinterest provides an array of new recipes to try. Feeling adventurous? One could test his cooking skills by combining leftover ingredients into a unique dish without the use of a recipe. Freeze for future meals Freezing food items for ease of use in future recipes can be a proactive way to lessen future meal planning stress. Marthastewart. com offers a list of which foods to freeze and which to skip. The website also gives information about how long to store the food and how to properly reheat the

ingredients. Some good foods to freeze include gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, potato pancakes and breads and rolls. However, skip freezing turkey, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and cheese and dairy. Donate According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 14 percent of households in the United States experienced food insecurity in 2014. By donating unused goods or leftovers to local food pantries or homeless shelters, local hunger can be reduced. Some food pantries and shelters allow prepared food donations, while others only accept unused canned or packaged foods. Contact a location before donating to find out what types of food it is currently accepting. There are 10 local pantries in the Ames area, including Bethesda Lutheran

Homeless shelters in the Ames area include Emergency Residence Project, Youth & Shelter Services Inc. and Rosedale Shelter. Host a leftover party

Hosting a potluck leftover party is a great way to gather with friends and enjoy an inexpensive meal. By combining everyone’s contributions, the meal will offer guests a variety of unique dishes that differ from their previous meals. Relax and enjoy While holiday celebra-

tions are fun, the preparation and festivities can leave partygoers and hosts exhausted. Simply reheating leftovers is a way to enjoy one’s hard work without requiring extra work. This can also provide a quick, hassle-free meal for those who decide to venture out to the stores to shop on Black Friday.

Power through final weeks of classes before break Buckle down on schoolwork for homestretch By Megan.Dale @iowastatedaily.com By this point in the semester, most students are feeling massive amounts of stress and pain. It’s a time where motivation is lost, and we discover that we’re lazier than we originally thought and decide that no class before 11 a.m. is worth going to. The results of this can be disastrous, as slipping up before the

end of the semester can be treacherous to not only students’ GPAs but to their self-esteem. Follow these three simple steps to not only power through the end of the semester but also to get back on the right track to achieving a GPA you’ll be proud to tell your distant relatives about during the holidays. 1. Schedule your time Remember that planner that you used the first few weeks of school that ended up at the bottom of your book bag? It’s time to get it out again. Scheduling your time can make things so much easier and can prepare you

for the tasks at hand. Use a planner to mark down assignments for classes and to schedule all the things that need to be accomplished that day whether they be schoolrelated or otherwise. With finals and the end of the semester just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start planning ahead. A planner can be extremely helpful when choreographing final projects with group members so that you all aren’t cramming to finish it the night before. Using a planner will help you feel better about your academics and will help you feel better about

life. self

2. Take time for your-

During this crazy time in the school year, it can be very hard to schedule time in the day to do the things that make you happy. This is essential to maintaining sanity and will keep you motivated to press on through the end of the semester. Whether it’s naps, Netflix, hitting the gym or reading a good book, there is always something to do that benefits mental health and happiness. Find what yours is, and don’t neglect it just because school work is piling up. Set aside a small

amount of time each day to pause from your hectic school schedule, and never forget to treat yourself. 3. Know that what you’re doing is worth it It can be very hard to remember what the point of all the craziness of college is when times get tough. When you’re feeling down or considering giving up, sit down and write a list of all of your goals, both short-term and long-term. This will help by refocusing you and helping you understand the point of all of your hard work and the stress that comes along with it. One day, when you live

in the place that you’ve always dreamed of living in and are working the job of your dreams, you’ll be happy that you worked hard in school. Keep your head up — you have so much further to go. Keeping these things in mind will help college students everywhere get their heads back on straight before the painful and stressful last few weeks of the semester. So take a deep breath, make the time for both what you need to do and time for the things that you love and know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Come back refreshed for spring semester.

This exam you won’t have to cram for. You’ve got a big exam tomorrow. But the real test is tonight. Your head is pounding. Your body is aching. And all you want to do is close the books, crawl in bed and call it a night. But thanks to UIeCare, our care experts are burning the midnight oil for situations just like this.

the hours he spent researching opposing arguments for debate tournaments. His experiences on debate team taught Schulte that there are not only multiple ways to view a problem but also multiple ways to solve a problem. “I’m really not interested in politics too much, per se,” Schulte said. “More just civics and being involved and aware of what happens in the community.” As a senator in Student Government, Schulte spearheaded the first Cyclone Market as a replacement for the once-popular Veishea Village. More than 30 student organizations were involved in the money-raising event. Schulte now speaks for students on a platform outside of the university. At least twice monthly for scheduled meetings, and often more frequently for special meetings and workshops, Schulte spends his Tuesday evenings at City Hall sitting with council

barth’s desk, he knew Schulte was the man for the position. “He was by far the most qualified candidate that we had,” Breitbarth said. “It was pretty much a no-brainer.” Schulte, a talented pianist and dedicated student whose undergraduate research on plants for medicine and agriculture has contributed to several studies, now functions as the link between the city of Ames and the students at Iowa State. Schulte grew up in West Des Moines, where his mother started an organization to care for the homeless in the metro area. Schulte said his parents taught him the importance of civic duty and community service at a young age. In high school, Schulte poured his energy into debate team. He became the state cochampion in public forum in 2012. Schulte credits his ability to see both sides of an issue to

This also applies to the noodle dishes, which in the spring will include a more traditional medium-sized ramen noodle compared to the current, gluten-free rice noodles. Along with the variations of current dishes that are provided in addition to the ongoing initiative to serve people who have restrictive dietary needs, either stemming from health concerns or religious pur-

Based on actions and products that are not allowed according to Islamic law, students who practice halal may receive personal meals tailored to fit their needs. Under halal, foods that include intoxicating beverages, pork, animals not slaughtered in the name of Allah and animals beaten or gored to death aren’t allowed to be consumed. “We work with our food distributors and our meat buyer to order halal chicken and beef,” said Lisa Nolting, dietitian for UDCC. “We then bring the product back here to be

Councilwoman Gloria Betcher said Schulte’s role is important not only as a representation of the student body but also an asset to the city. “He reminds us that students are part of the community too,” Betcher said. During his time as a nonvoting member of the City Council, Schulte has used his voice to lobby for change that will positively impact students. “He always advocates for the students’ rights and tries to do everything he can for the university and for the students he represents,” Breitbarth said. Schulte has largely focused

on issues that affect the safety and well-being of ISU students — making campus streets a priority for snow removal and working to change parking regulations in Campustown in order to prevent students from drinking and driving. Schulte said that before his term as ex-officio is over, he hopes to accomplish one major goal for the university and the city — a joint commission of representatives from students, faculty and city members to address issues that impact the relationship between Iowa State and the surrounding community. Betcher said the commission would be a valuable asset to Ames, and she values Schulte’s

Brittney Rutherford, marketing coordinator for ISU Dining, said a new director can bring in new perspectives. “Ultimately, we are here to serve the students, so if there is a demand they are seeing from the culinary side for students to have that type of food, we’ll continue to make it,” Rutherford said.

His future plans include a Ph.D., an M.D. and, hopefully, a job as a professor. Schulte did not speculate on the things he might accomplish post-Iowa State, but his peers weren’t shy with their predictions. “His future is very bright,” Breitbarth said. “Someday he might cure cancer.”
