Regents approve 2015-2016 tuition, fees By Mitchel.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa Board of Regents approved tuition rates and mandatory fees for the 2016-2017 academic year Wednesday in Ames, where they also voted to award two honorary doctorate degrees and to approve several business transactions for capital improvement. The board unanimously voted to approve 2016-2017 tuition rates and mandatory fees for the three regent universities. The University of Iowa will see a 3 percent increase in undergraduate resident tuition after being withheld from the increase Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa saw for the spring 2016 semester. Iowa State and Northern Iowa will not see a tuition in-

crease for the 2016-2017 academic year. In addition to the new tuition rates, mandatory fees will be increased for international students at Iowa State by $500 every year for the next three years. The fee increase will start with the 2016-2017 academic year, totaling $1,500 by the 20182019 academic year. Although the regents unanimously supported the new tuition rates and fees, it wasn’t without some reluctance. “Over time, [university funding] has shifted from 70 percent state support and 30 percent tuition to the opposite, as we all know,” said Board of Regents President Bruce Rastetter. “At the end of the day, the universities need the resources to compete and improve programs to maintain quality. Student debt without quality isn’t something that this

board is going to support, so we may have some tough choices to make.” Tuition revenues make up about 61 percent of the combined operating budgets of the regent universities, slightly more than last year. “It’s time to talk to your resident legislator,” said regent Larry McKibben. “It is time to get into their backyards, to get into their town halls and deliver the message.” McKibben also expressed the importance of the three regent universities to the economic community in Iowa. The regents also unanimously approved Iowa State’s request to raze Spangler Geotechnical Lab and Storage Building, which is expected to cost about $250,000. Other approved projects and plans include renovations to the Forker Building, Jack Trice Sta-

dium improvements and renovations to Friley Residence Hall and its dining center. Eugene G. Sukup and Dame DeAnne Julius will be honored with honorary doctorate degrees during fall 2015 commencement, as the board unanimously ap-

proved requests from Iowa State. Sukup will receive his honorary doctorate in science, and Julius will receive hers in humane letters. The next Board of Regents meeting is scheduled for Feb. 24 and 25 at Iowa State.

Senators vote to advocate free speech

students, administration also provided a FAQ document to Student Government leadership. “Student Government and GPSS leadership then actually came with some questions,” Wickert said. Those questions were discussed with either the provost or Associate Provost David Holger. “You can always communicate more,” Wickert said. “But in my experience, we communicated more on this tuition proposal than any other tuition proposal that I’m aware of.” Wickert said that what he and others in the administration heard from students about the proposal was taken into consideration before a final proposal was made. “We actually made a number of aspects of our proposal on the basis of feedback that students had

Student Government voted Wednesday night to clarify the language and policies on free speech, the free-speech zones on campus and on creating a university-based student trade site. A bill advocating free speech on campus was passed by the Senate with a vote of 33-2. This bill initially was meant to expand the free-speech zones on campus, but was revised after a discussion from the senators. Sen. Cole Staudt, an author of the bill, then proposed an amendment that would strike the resolutions to expand the free-speech zone. The amendment was passed unanimously by the senators. The bill was meant to create another zone — meant solely for ISU students, faculty and staff — on the grassy interior area of Central Campus north of the Campanile. However, these groups will not be allowed within 100 feet of a campus building or impede foot traffic in that area. Instead, with Staudt’s amendment, the bill was worded to encourage the administration to create more clear and concise language on university policies. “We will be expanding free speech by clarifying the freespeech zones,” Staudt said. Before discussion on the senate floor, University Counsel Paul Tanaka spoke to the Senate about the issue. Tanaka told the senators to consider what issues they are trying to solve and expressed his own concerns for the bill. “If we’re trying to protect people from what they call ‘offensive speech,’ that is concerning to me,” Tanaka said. “We are trying to foster interaction and this town square culture. It’s concerning when we try to shut that out.” He spoke to the senators about the First Amendment, and how Iowa State encourages the freedom of speech on campus. “As a government agency, we have to protect the First Amendment’s function,” Tanaka said. “But it is not our function to overreach in the marketplace of ideas.” Tanaka said the university, in this marketplace of ideas, is trying to foster interactions on tough issues. “We have an obligation to try to foster those dialogues, even if it makes people uncomfortable,” he said. Student Government Senate discussed and voted down a bill by a vote of 22-10 to fund ITS CySwap an overall allocation of $20,300. ITS CySwap will be an In-

Naz Mitrou-Long honors mom with last name change By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com

az Long recently chose to do something most people only dream about — change his identity. He didn’t vanish or retreat into shadow. Instead, his change came by way of addition, not subtraction. Specifically, the addition of six letters on the back of his ISU basketball jersey: M-I-T-R-O-U. At 22 years old, Naz Long

became Naz Mitrou-Long. And while it might not seem like much, it made a world of difference to someone who means the world to Naz. “When he first told me, I was speechless, because it’s not something you ask of your kids,” said Naz’s mother, Georgia Mitrou. “When I actually saw it on his jersey, it touched me.” The name Mitrou is of Greek origin, Georgia’s birthplace. It was important to Naz — a Canadian citizen who is half Trinidadian, half Greek and has three siblings as well as six half-siblings — to define himself; to represent every part of who he is while simultaneously thanking his mother for all she’s done. “It means a lot to her. It means

a lot to represent that side of the family, and it’s just a tribute to her,” Naz said. “I could never repay her for everything she’s done for me, but it’s a small token of my appreciation.” The move is something Naz has publicized, making it clear to everyone through both word and action that Mitrou-Long is who he is now. But it wasn’t a “look at me move.” “I don’t think he planned it for years. I think it just happened that he was at the age that he thinks more about what is right and what he should do,” Georgia said. “I know it was something he thought long and hard about and never discussed with anybody. It made me really proud of the young man he’s become.”

Emily Blobaum/Iowa State Daily

Naz hasn’t worn Mitrou-Long on his jersey since his first year playing basketball, long before attending high school in Canada and later in the United States. But now, equipped with the national reputation of a starter on a top-five team, the gesture can create the desired impact and resonate across international borders. “Every year, when I watch him on that stage, it’s still surreal,” said Naz’s father, Jersey Long. “I know there’s a lot of levels left to go, and I hope he has the capability of making it to the highest level.” But just in case he doesn’t, Naz wanted to offer his tribute while still basking in the limelight of NCAA basketball. The strategy has been effec-

Regents’ tuition hike approval causes outrage By Thomas.Nelson @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State will add a third tier to its tuition rates specifically for international students, and some on campus are not happy about it. “The problem is not that the tuition is being increased, the problem is the way they’ve done it and their justification for it,” said Abhijit Patwa, senior in mechanical engineering. Right now, international students pay out-of-state tuition. International students will soon pay an additional $500 a year for three years, an overall increase of $1,500. “No student input was gathered before. Students were not informed before the proposal,” Patwa said.“They basically went in with their minds made up about proposing this fee, and after the proposal was made is when they come and inform us.”

Two justifications for the increase were that international students require more services, and therefore should pay more than other students, and that the cost of attending Iowa State is still more affordable than other schools, even after the tuition hike. “So it’s basically picking on the most diverse, unorganized and voiceless group on campus. Because you can, they’re not voters,” Patwa said. “The students were obviously in disapproval and therefore I was in disapproval as well,” said Dan Breitbarth, president of Student Government and senior in business economics. “The most frustrating thing was the time frame we were given. I would like to know about it before October.” Breitbarth said that learning about the increase at such a late time hurt the student body’s chances to react.

“Our reaction was untimely, which gave us sort of a setback when it came to providing legitimate argument for reducing or keeping the fees at a flat level,” Breitbarth said. Breitbarth also said he felt the Board of Regents had already made up its mind. “I wish we would’ve known about this when they were likely debating it, you know, months ago,” Breitbarth said. “I can’t say much about the vote because they obviously had their mind set up.” The administration had met with students before presenting the increase in tuition, and made a point to meet with international student leaders on campus. “From the beginning of September to November, there were a series of meetings,” said Jonathan Wickert, senior vice president and provost. In addition to meeting with

After juggling careers for a while, the brothers finally decided to professionally tour when they were in their late 20s. Though their parents were worried, Eric said they were very supportive. “My dad told me, ‘You’ve got more guts than I could,” Eric said.

CNN anchor provides hope to ISU students By Jaki.Cavins @iowastatedaily.com CNN news anchor, author and ISU alumnae Christine Romans spoke to students Wednesday in Howe Hall about the economy and how to find success. “It feels like yesterday I was sitting where you are, and in a hot second, I look back, and I’m decades into my job. And it will happen to you, too,” Romans said. One might think waking up for class at 8 a.m. is hard, but to Romans, 8 a.m. is practically a luxury. As an anchor for CNN’s show “Early Start,” Romans wakes up at 2:30 a.m. every morning. She is also the author of “Smart is the New Rich” and stresses the importance of being well-rounded and grabbing any opportunities that life might have to offer. Romans graduated from Iowa State in 1993, majoring in French and journalism and communication. She was inspired at Iowa State by many of her professors, especially Barbara Mack, who made

Breitbarth said this website would be a common place for students to access that is run for the university and does not have the risks that Facebook pages such as ISU Ticket Trader has. Several senators expressed concern about ITS CySwap, particularly about the cost and the lack of guaranteed success of the project. However, Sen. Michael Snook argued that there was a benefit to have a formal system besides Facebook and that it was a good use of the funds. Sen. Danielle Nygard proposed an amendment to the bill, which passed after a unanimous vote, that would require Student

Romans fall in love with the First Amendment and told her, “Ladies do, in fact, curse with brilliance sometimes.” During college, Romans began working for the Iowa State Daily. She had no prior experience with writing for a newspaper and she recalled getting her first byline: a story about a new bathroom at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena. Romans reminisced about how she had slaved over the article. “I rewrote it and rewrote it and then finally presented it, and my editor completely rewrote it anyway,” Romans said. After college, Romans did numerous internships and moved to Chicago, pursuing business journalism. All of the hard work paid off, and Romans’ career took off. Unlike many others, she did not start as a local news reporter or make drawn-out and lofty plans to make her way to her dream job. “I fell into business journalism and I fell into television,” Romans said. Romans said her caGovernment to draw up a contract with ITS for a minimum of two years and a maximum of five. Nygard said this would allow for the website to receive a sort of trial run, in order to study its effectiveness over the allotted time. Sen. George Weston said he planned to vote no. Because of the suddenness of the bill, he said senators do not have time to speak to the constituents about the website. Sen. Ryan Starn encouraged senators not to vote in favor of the bill because he said there was not enough information available to the Senate and there were other sites such as Amazon that students would rather use for selling textbooks. Senators also passed a bill 26 to 10 that would fund $11,200 to an umbrella renting system at Iowa State. The system would al-

She has had the opportunity to share insights with many celebrities and politicians. The audience laughed at the tales Romans told about those experiences, especially when she shared that when she interviewed her childhood hero, Harrison Ford, he broke her heart a little bit, because to her surprise, he had actually been quite grumpy. “[Romans] put a personable spin on [the lecture], I really liked that,” said Jordyn Farver, freshman in business. Being a well-rounded business journalist, Romans is passionate about the economy. One of the main points of Romans’ lecture was about how today’s economy will affect current college students and their future careers. She shared a variety of charts and graphs showing that there are currently

Several senators expressed concern for the cost of the project. “I think this bill has a lot of good intent behind it, but for the given costs, I don’t think the benefits outweigh the costs,” said Sen. Cole Button. Some senators pointed out that Student Government is meant to help students, and this is a project that could do that. “We’re here to help students,” said Sen. Brittany Gaura. “If an umbrella helps a student, then it helps a student.” Mickey Sundermann, director of communications for Student Government, pointed out that the Senate needed to pass more bills such as this project to help students. “Students say we don’t do anything with them, and we don’t because we don’t take opportunities like this to help them,” she said. The Senate also voted

unanimously to pass a bill that supports the changing of parking restrictions in Campustown. Currently, parking is prohibited on certain roads in Campustown from 3 to 6 a.m. This bill supports the revision of these restrictions to allow parking during this time on Friday, Saturday and Sunday on Storm Street and Lincoln Way, on Chamberlain Street between Hayward Avenue and Lynn Avenue and on Lincoln Way between Hayward Avenue and Lynn Avenue. The hope of this resolution is to encourage safe drinking practices, the bill states, and allowing parking on weekends can prevent impaired driving. The senators also unanimously approved a bylaw that expanded the Election Commission, the body in charge of Student Government elections, from 10 members to 12.

Romans advised students to read and be wellrounded, to invest in stocks and use time and money wisely and to beware of the millennial stereotype: millennials are spoiled, lazy and poorly informed. “The most interesting thing about the lecture was how much Romans seemed to have faith in our generation and every person sitting in the audience tonight,” said Nikki

provided,” Wickert said. The cost of providing services to international students has increased and is spread across the institution. “In the past, we were able to absorb those costs, but with the enrollment having grown so much, we’re now at the tipping point where additional funds are needed to be able to maintain the quality of services that we provide to international students,” Wickert said. “Nobody likes to raise tuition.” Some international students were taken off guard by the increase. “I’m surprised by the move,” said Tze Mei Lam, who goes by Rachel Lam, junior in nutritional science and international student from Singapore. “There’s no equality,” Lam said. ”I’m OK with increasing tuition for all students.” She heard about the increase from her international student ambassador. “You’re making it more challenging for international students,” Lam said. A total of 4,041 international students are enrolled at Iowa State as of the 2015 fall semester, representing 11.2 percent of total enrollment. The international student population has grown by 18 percent since 2011 and 91 percent since 2006.

Up to 1,000 of the 5,000 wild bison located in Yellowstone Park are on the chopping block. Columnist Woodruff argues that the massacre is an unjustified and irrational response to Montana ranchers’ fears of disease spreading to domesticated herds. Montana’s governor plans to stop migration until a population decrease.

Unjustified killing Risk of spreading disease too low to slaughter bison By Beth.Woodruff @iowastatedaily.com

ellowstone National Park is a beloved attraction in the United States. It is known for its natural beauty and abundance of wildlife, and it attracts thousands of nature enthusiasts each year. However, the park has a new set of plans for this winter and they are quite the opposite of the park’s nature-loving reputation. In fact, those plans may involve murdering up to 1,000 innocent bison, primarily females and calves. So why on earth would the park kill off so many of the wildlife residents the landmark is known for, potentially ruining its reputation? Because Montana ranchers fear the disease brucellosis will spread from the wild Yellowstone bison to their local livestock population during their winter migration. Brucellosis is a disease that can cause infertility, miscarriages and lowered milk production in cattle. This disease can also cause flu-like symptoms in humans, most commonly for those who may eat the meat of an infected animal. The trepidation of these ranchers may be unwarranted. Brucellosis is not

easily spread. In fact, there have been no natural transmissions of the disease from bison to livestock, according to the Gallatin Wildlife Association. The only proof of transmission has been during controlled, human-run experiments. The lack of transmission is due to the improbability of the circumstances needed to spread Brucellosis. In order for an infection to propagate, a pregnant bison must have a live birth or an abortion on a rancher’s land. Then a farmer’s cattle or livestock must eat some of the contaminated discharge, in order to contract the bacteria. Considering that most farmers and ranchers have some sort of fencing to prevent their cattle from wandering off the property, the chances of an infected bison reaching livestock are very low. Furthermore, the infected bison would have to be a pregnant female, making the probability of transmission even smaller. According to ABC News, Yellowstone National Park was home to about 5,000 bison this year. The park plans for local Native American tribes to kill 300 of the 1,000 bison and to have the rest slaughtered or taken away and used for research purposes. This mass killing would wipe out onefifth of the current wild bison population in Yellowstone. The National Park Service website states that 9 percent of the Yellowstone bison population perishes each winter because of natural causes such as starvation. This would eliminate even more of the few truly wild bison

still living in the United States, after 1,000 are knowingly massacred. Forbes quoted Sandy Snell-Dobert, a Yellowstone spokeswoman, on the matter. “If there was more tolerance north of the park in Montana for wildlife, particularly bison as well as other wildlife, to travel outside the park boundaries, it wouldn’t be an issue,” Dobert said. This quote alludes to the reluctance of the park to commit this widespread murder. Yet, they still will do it in order to keep Montana’s agricultural business thriving without fear. While much of Montana supports killing the bison, spiritual leaders from Native American tribes such as the Blackfeet have spoken out against the horrific and unjustified action. In response, Montana governor Steve Bullock said Montana would allow the wild bison to migrate into the state when their population dropped to fewer than 3,500. While it is positive that the governor plans to let the bison in at some point, it is a tragic that their population has to dramatically fall in order for them to seek refuge. This mass killing of a thousand harmless bison is unnecessary and unjustifiable. While the fear of disease is generally legitimate, this particular case has been blown far out of proportion. Brucellosis poses very little threat to Montana’s livestock. Yet ranchers are choosing to leave Yellowstone’s bison out in the cold and put a thousand innocent lives on the line.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Iowa senators should support S. Res. 199 By Steve Corbin Professor at the University of Northern Iowa Dear Senator Ernst and Senator Grassley: This is to request that you co-sponsor Senate Resolution 199. S. Res. 199 requests the Senate to debate, across-the-aisle, and adopt policy solutions in resolving to: 1) balance the Federal budget by 2030, 2) secure Medicare & Social Security for

the next 75 years, 3) make the United States energy secure by 2024, and 4) create 25 million new jobs during the next 10 years. As you well know, Iowa Congressmen David Young, Rod Blum and David Loebsack have co-sponsored House Resolution 207, the No Labels National Strategic Agenda companion to S. Res. 199. If S. Res. 199 and H. Res. 207 were to be passed, it would represent the first time Congress

has adopted a specific bipartisan methodology for solving the nation’s most core crucial problems. Just like President Ronald Reagan & House Speaker Tip O’Neill worked across party lines in 1980 to reform the tax code and protect Social Security, and President Bill Clinton and House Speaker Newt Gingrich put aside differences in the 1990s to balance the budget in four consecutive years, we expect you two to demonstrate to Iowans and the

nation your problem-solving bipartisan leadership capability. A super majority of Republicans, Democrats and independents support the bipartisan resolution of these four problems that, left unresolved, threaten the future prosperity and security of our nation. We look forward to your explicit support of S. Res. 199. Thank you for representing Iowa’s proud 3.1 million citizens and working on behalf of 318 million Americans.

No confidence in the Board of Regents By Cole Staudt Junior in political science The Board of Regents has failed, once again, to take the opinions of students into account when making decisions that directly affect students. At Wednesday’s Board of Regents meeting, which took place right here on Iowa State’s campus, the board unanimously approved to increase international tuition by $1,500 over the next three years. The Board of Regents exists to ensure the proper management of Iowa’s public universities. The regents are charged with making the tough decisions after gathering all of the information and opinions of those affected by their decisions. The current student regent serving on the board, Rachael Johnson, has the sole duty of representing the opinions of all students of the three universities. She failed to even acknowledge the letter sent by Student Government President Daniel Breitbarth, and a resolution the Student Government Senate had

passed, both of which strongly opposed the $1,500 tuition hike. Johnson said she had spoken with students at all three universities and believed she knew what we wanted. I am writing this letter, not upset that tuition for my fellow students is increasing, but as a student who is extremely disappointed in the Board of Regents’ failure to even acknowledge our concerns at the meeting. Abhijit Patwa, a current International student at Iowa State, believed the regents “set a dangerous precedent by voting without so much as a discussion on raising tuition.” He said “despite having a student regent, the students were not represented at the meeting.” The administration of Iowa State listened to our concerns and engaged in discussion with students. That is all we ask. We want our voices to be heard. We expect the board to consider our opinions because its decisions directly affect us. We should be able to trust that those representing us have our best interests in mind and

will respond to our voices. On Wednesday, the board confirmed that I cannot have confidence in its representation. This is not the first time the Board has failed to hear all stakeholders. In an interview with The Cedar Rapids Gazette, UI Faculty Senate President Christina Bohannan said the board “... Wanted faculty involved in this process [of hiring a new university president], they said that they wanted to hear from us and that they respected our viewpoints. And in the end, they clearly did not.” I feel betrayed by the board,

just as the faculty and students at Iowa feel betrayed. At some point, the regents must realize that they do not know everything about current student life and that we, as students, may have a better view on issues than they do. I appreciate that the board is willing to serve Iowa’s public institutions but I cannot support it when students’ voices are not heard. Regardless of the outcome of this decision, the voices of students went unheard Wednesday, both by regent Johnson and the entire board. This is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

Cooperation is key to attacking race issues After months of protests, meetings, social media strings, an open forum and heightened awareness to the tensions and issues students of color have faced, a positive light on the larger issue of racism in this country has shown on Iowa State. Cooperation. It’s no doubt events of racism, bigotry and systematic oppression have occurred on this campus for decades; however, the peaceful protest turned poster-ripping fiasco Sept. 12 at the CyHawk game brought the issues to the forefront of a campus-wide discussion that engaged students, faculty and administration alike. Students of color immediately responded and demanded the university listen to them. Less than three weeks later, the open forum that filled the Great Hall provided them that chance. The student panelists held nothing back when speaking at the forum to President Steven Leath, Senior Vice President for Student Affairs Tom Hill and Dean of Students Pamela Anthony. They shared glimpses of their personal encounters with racism and listed suggestions and demands to improve how it’s handled on campus. Protests, columns, meetings, letters to the editor, criticism of university administration and more filled the following two months; similar events occupied college campuses around the country. Iowa State is a microcosm of a larger issue of racism around the country, but how we have handled it should be a model. The forum opened up a bottle of carbonated frustration that’s been bubbling for years. The students talked; the university listened. They discussed and now administration is about to do what all the protests have been asking for: act. Formerly known as Students Against Bigotry, Latinos United for a Change, LUCHA, released a statement Monday in response to a letter Leath sent out to the university Nov. 20. Leath’s letter provided a time line of events and an action plan the university has taken and plans to take, including appointing a multicultural liaison police officer, an expansion to the safety escort services and relocating multicultural artwork to be more prominent on campus. So, applause to the university for acting quickly and openly. By publicly recognizing he doesn’t share the same viewpoint, background or experiences as students of color, Leath and administration helped create an environment where students could share their concerns and provide suggestions. And kudos to making the process and steps public, as it’s important for a campus to know the actions of its administration. And applause to the students who have led the charge to change. Without their bringing issues and suggestions to light and continuously working to make them heard and understood, we wouldn’t be having the discussion, and the situation would not be improving.

ISU guard has been ‘as good as advertised’ By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com Monté Morris is one of the best point guards in the country, but ISU coach Steve Prohm has high standards for his leaders on the floor. At Murray State, Prohm coached future NBA guards Cameron Payne and Isaiah Canaan. Though he’s only coached Morris for six games, Prohm said Morris has lived up to the hype.

Ryan Young/Iowa State Daily

Monté Morris attacks the rim.

“He’s as good as advertised,” Prohm said. “He’s been terrific. It’s been fun coaching him.” Morris had his best game of the season during Thanksgiving break, when he scored 20 points, pulled down nine rebounds and dished out six assists without a single turnover in the Emerald Coast Classic

championship game against Illinois. On the season, Morris is averaging 15.3 points, 6.8 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game. While most would consider those pretty impressive numbers, Morris expects even better of himself. “I think I’m playing at a decent level,” Morris said. “I feel like I could turn it up just a little bit more. There are a few things on the defensive end I want to get better at, but I feel like I’m attacking good. I’d like to average a little more assists.” Prohm’s previous point guards have both been bigtime scorers, whereas Morris follows the mold of the true, pass-first point guard. Prohm has been working on Morris to become more aggressive and assertive offensively throughout the season. Morris is tied with Nader as the second-leading scorer on the team. Both are just behind Georges Niang. Morris’ 15.3 average is a significant increase from his 11.9 points per game last season, in which he was also Iowa State’s second-leading scorer. “I think he’s been more aggressive this year,” Prohm said. “I’m trying to get him to continue to think more offense. He’s so unselfish.” Not only has Morris taken his individual offensive

game to another level, but he has also risen the offensive game of his teammates. Five of the seven players in rotation are shooting the ball at a 50-percent clip or better. The only two exceptions are Matt Thomas and Naz Mitrou-Long, both of whom are 3-point specialists and therefore shoot a lower percentage from the field due to longer, lowerpercentage shots. “I think [Morris] is the reason,” Niang said of Iowa State’s high shooting percentage. “Obviously, making shots is easier when someone is getting it to you in

your shot pocket or getting it to you in your scoring areas, and you don’t really have to create much. I think that credit goes all to him.” Morris has shown his ability to score the ball and set up his teammates to score, but his ability to handle the ball in an ultraefficient manner has been his claim to fame. Morris has led the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio for consecutive years and owns the NCAA record in the statistical category after registering a 4.79 assist-toturnover ratio as a freshman and 4.63 assist-to-turnover

ratio as a sophomore. Morris is on pace to break that record this season. His 41 assists and just eight turnovers put him at a 5.13 assist-to-turnover ratio. While his numbers are eye-popping to most outside his locker room, Jameel McKay said Morris is playing the way all his teammates expected him to. “Every day he’s going to dominate the game, and that means sometimes he might not score as much,” McKay said. “He can dominate the game just passing the ball.

When he steps on the court, he just dominates. Right now, he just got that swagger about himself. He believes he’s the best guard every time he steps on the court.” As Morris dominates at the NCAA level, it’s been speculated that he might decide to forgo his senior season and head to the NBA next year. Experienced with sending guards to the NBA, Prohm has been working with Morris on the defensive end of the court. “When you talk about going to the next level, you’ve got to be able to guard your position, and that’s something I think he’s really put a focus on,” Prohm said. Morris’ two steals per game this season have verified that defensive emphasis, as ISU guards have cranked up the pressure under Prohm compared to a less aggressive defense under former ISU coach Fred Hoiberg. Prohm said he’s talked to “NBA people” about Morris, and those people have liked what they’ve seen from the junior this season. “I think [NBA] people really like Monté,” Prohm said. “Defensively, he’s showing that he can really guard, and he can run a basketball team, obviously. He’s going to have a bright future.”

CYCLONES EVEN RECORD WITH WIN The ISU women’s basketball took on the Northern Iowa Panthers last night in Cedar Falls, Iowa. After a tight battle throughout the game, the Cyclones were able to outlast the Panthers, winning the game 84-75. Junior guard Seanna Johnson led the Cyclones with 28 points on 10-of-16 shooting and grabbed 10 rebounds on the night to complete the double-double. With the win, Iowa State improved to 3-3 on the year. The Cyclones will play Southern on Sunday at Hilton Coliseum, their first home appearance in six games.

Concert to benefit Toys for Tots By Sha.Meng @iowastatedaily.com The ISU Sigma Alpha Iota international music fraternity will host a benefit concert for Toys For Tots at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 3 in the Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall in cooperation with the Naval ROTC. Admission for the concert is provided in two ways: a $5 donation or a new toy donation. The event will last for about an hour. Since 1995, Toys For Tots has been approved by the Secretary of Defense as one of the official events of the U.S. Marine Corps and the official missions of the Marine Corps Reserve. New, unwrapped toys are usually collected during the last quarter of the year. The mission of the program is “to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens,” according to its official website. As an all-female music fraternity, SAI sponsors unique events, such as the Toys for Tots benefit concert, to help people in the Ames community. “It’s a concert that we put on for five years now,” said Jillian Burdick, senior in music and philanthropy

chairwoman of SAI. “We take monetary donations and new toys, and we end up giving them to the marines, who officially take them to the Toys For Tots Foundation in Des Moines. We just hold the event to bring all of the things in.” In order to attract more students to the event, Burdick said SAI usually targets music students seeking concert credit for class. Students who attend the benefit concert can receive double credit for class. Burdick said the concert has received a lot of support from the ISU Music Department. Several music department faculty and students will perform at the concert, while the department shows support for Toys For Tots with monetary donations. Burdick said the ISU Trombone Quartet will perform holiday selections, while members of SAI will sing. Shy of a Dozen, an allmale a capella group, has regularly performed at this event and will return for this year’s concert. After the Toys For Tots Benefit Concert, the ISU Naval ROTC will collect all of the toys and deliver them to the Toys For Tots Foundation in Des Moines. Gunnery Sgt. Christopher Harrison, assistant marine officer instructor of the ISU Naval ROTC, helps ensure the toys are collected

and delivered successfully. “I have three or four people to call every year,” Harrison said. “They let us know when they have enough toys, and we go and [deliver the toys]. And once I get everything together from the university, I’ll put them in the vans and trucks and ... deliver them to the main

spots [in Des Moines].” When talking about the monetary donations raised by the concert, Harrison said the money goes directly to the Des Moines chapter of the foundation. Money collected from the benefit concert is used to buy toys. “[T]hey use the money to buy toys because some

of the toys [donated] are opened, [which] can’t be used if the toys are opened,” Harrison said. “They’ve got a bunch of stuff for bigger kids, and they need to buy toys for smaller [kids].” Besides the concert, there are other ways provided by the Naval ROTC to collect the toys and monetary donations. Harrison said the collection will be open until Dec. 14. On campus, the ISU Parking Division, located at the ISU Armory, and Beardshear Hall have provided special boxes designated for people who want to donate toys. Harrison said toy donating can be very simple. “[Toys have] to be unwrapped, brand new, and [inexpensive],” Harrison said. “You can find a dropoff if you’re near Wal-Mart, you can bring it to one of the boxes on campus, you can also give it to any ROTC students or directly to me.” Donations may also be given directly to the Toys For Tots Foundation. For those unable to attend the concert in person, Music Hall’s Recital Hall Webcast allows viewers to see the concert live online. For more info, visit the music department website. For donation info, visit the Toys For Tots website or contact Harrison at foxco53@iastate.edu.

gender studies, said Naz’s decision is a high-profile example of a generational shift in attitudes about gender and surnames. Because of that, Naz’s choice carries weight from a feminist perspective. “It is happening more often with this generation — there just seems to be more of an acceptance and more possibilities and options for people,” Oberhauser said. “It reflects more respect and acceptance of both women and men.” For most of history, when a woman married

They love Naz. They follow him, and they watch all his games. So for them as well, it was an amazing thing.” Ann Oberhauser, professor of sociology and director of women’s and

a man, she took his last name. There was no choice, no alternate perspective. It’s just what was done. Female identity and heritage aren’t necessarily swallowed up symbolically through marriage and the changing of one’s name, but they can be to an extent. That suppression isn’t limited to the wife either, but also to the persistence of her identity as reflected in how her children are understood and identified. Oberhauser didn’t assert that a woman must keep her name, hyphenate it or pass it along to

her children to remain her own person. She explained, rather, that it’s the choice that is key. The lack of societal expectations and the existence of options where names are concerned are what matter most. Because, as Naz Mitrou-Long has demonstrated both culturally and in relation to gender equality, much power resides in the name one chooses to carry. “Names are very important,” Oberhauser said. “A person’s name, they have it their whole life. “That’s how other people know them.”
