Fire in State Gym results in closing By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com

Charlie Coffey/Iowa State Daily

Firemen from the Ames Fire Department account for their gear after entering State Gym to clean up after a fire on Sunday. The fire started in the sauna, and the firemen removed all of the dangerous parts.

A fire broke out in the sauna in State Gym just after 10:30 a.m. Sunday. Michael Giles, director of recreation services, and Rich Higgins, deputy fire chief for the Ames Fire Department, said they do not yet know what caused the fire or how serious the damage from it is. The most visible damage

from the fire was the smoke that filled the building. Giles said that around the time smoke could be smelled, the fire alarm was triggered, alerting the fire department. Staff evacuated the 250 to 300 people in the gym in about three minutes, Giles said. The fire department extinguished the fire immediately, then worked to take apart the sauna and take the materials outside of the building. Higgins said the department

removes materials involved in a fire so they cannot continue to burn and damage a building. Fire doors prevented the smoke from filling the skywalk and leaching into Beyer Hall. Giles said State Gym is evacuated two or three times a year because of false alarms, but said this is the first fire State Gym has experienced. Higgins said the fire department is working to ventilate the building by controlling the air flow and increasing the air pres-

sure in the building. By opening only one door the smoke is forced out through one opening. Higgins and Giles said the next step after ventilation is investigating how the fire started. Giles said they will then determine how much damage, if any, was done. Giles said he is not yet sure how long State Gym will be closed, but Beyer Hall and Lied Recreation Athletic Center will remain open.

In location and atmosphere, The District sets itself apart By Hannah.Postlethwait @iowastatedaily.com

etween the blocks of Welch and Hayward Avenues, a passerby’s attention may be diverted to a small, red building with a 9-foot Christmas tree punctually displayed in its window. A rustic sign above the door reads, “The District,” and inside is home to a relatively new bar in Campustown. The District opened for business Jan. 15 for its first-ever mug night. Brandon Fick bought the bar October 2014, and the construction process lasted three or four months. The District replaced what used to be Charlie Yoke’s. The District recently started featuring mugs of their own. The mug costs $5 to purchase and comes with a permanent discount: $4 Long Islands on Thursdays, as long as the mug isn’t lost or stolen. Inside, the atmosphere is quite unlike what some bargoers have come to expect. The familiar aspects of the bar scene accompanied by the unwelcoming stench of yesterday’s beer are something The District lacks. That’s exactly what Brandon Fick, bar owner, expects. “It sounds like such a small thing, but realistically, when you walk inside [a bar] and it’s dirty, or beat-up, or poorly planned, it takes away from the experience,” he said. “There’s obviously a different aesthetic to this bar than there is to any other type of bar,” said Devon Jefferson, junior in journalism and mass communication. The bar features three supervisors: Brandon Fick as the owner; his cousin Josh Fick as manager and Shane Hennessey, the bar manager. The dynamic among all of them is laid back and sup-

portive. Josh Fick said he and Hennessey, senior in marketing, handle different aspects of managing The District as a team, and have a mutual ability to learn from one another. “We care,” Josh Fick said. “We care about the little things here. That goes for every single aspect — every piece of wood, every single pint glass — in this bar.” He said there are days he could spend a couple hours just doing “little things” such as using Pledge to clean the bar. The District serves 16-ounce pints, as opposed to most bars that serve drinks in 10 to 12-ounce plastic cups, Brandon Fick said.

Aside from that, both Brandon and Josh Fick agreed their prices are comparable to almost any other bar in Ames. “We had higher prices for a while. People noticed the higher prices, not the bigger drink,” Brandon Fick said. “Now our prices are very comparable — if not identical — to most places.” The bar currently has Budweiser tap beers. They’re one of two bars in Iowa that serves Natural Light on tap; they have to special order it. The District also serves Exile beer on tap, which is brewed locally in Des Moines.

Campustown Action Association has provided surveys about adding cameras to the area. The cameras would be installed to protect residents’ safety, and Sgt. Joel Congdon of the Ames Police Department said there are positives and negatives of the proposal.

Camera survey released Campustown prepares for potential safety provisions in near future By Elizabeth.Gray @iowastatedaily.com New fixtures may find their way to Campustown, but these fixtures won’t only be looked at. They’ll also look back. The Campustown Action Association, or CAA, was asked by the city of Ames to send a survey to the nearby residents of Campustown about the possibility of putting security cameras in areas of Campustown. The survey was distributed to local residents a few weeks ago and will be sent out to ISU students within the next week or so. Only a few hundred people have taken this survey, so the true results of it and the actions that will be taken are unclear at the moment. CAA hopes to get the vast majority of 42,000 residents, including students, to reply to

this survey before taking any action on the matter. So far, CAA is content with the number of participants and the results it’s received. However, it expects far more citizens to participate in the next few weeks. Rebecca Olson, director of CAA, described the difficulty of getting the survey out to students in a timely matter. Since CAA is not a student entity, it takes a lot of time to reach out to all of the students at Iowa State and to get the approval to do so. However, since a large portion of Ames residents who visit Campustown are in-fact students, the importance of getting their opinion on the installation of security cameras is crucial. “A large majority of residents who either reside or visit Campustown are students,” Olson said. “It would be unfair to change their living situation without their input. We want to

reach out to students because their opinions matter to the city of Ames.” Olson said there is no specific reason or event that occurred in Campustown that perpetuated the possibility of a camera addition, but rather the city feels like safety is always a concern. For the well-being of the city’s students, putting security cameras in Campustown is another way to make the area a safer place to live. Because there is no estimated final results from the survey, it’s unclear where the cameras will be installed if the majority of residents agree with the proposal. Sgt. Joel Congdon of the Ames Police Department expressed the major positives and negatives of having security cameras in local communities. Congdon said that this is generally a passionate topic for

Iowa State started a national search for a new director for the Office of Equal Opportunity. Dawn Bratsch-Prince, associate provost, and Calli Sanders, senior associate athletics director for sports administration, are in charge of leading the search committee. “That office manages all the different aspects of equal opportunity programs and affirmative action programs for the university,” Bratsch-Prince said. “That would include the university is in compliance with all the different laws with affirmative action and equal opportunity.” Bratsch-Prince went on to explain that the Office of Equal Opportunity does a variety of other tasks including investigating Title IX complaints and aiming to resolve them through co-working with other units on campus that ensure the university is true to what it says. The Office of Equal Opportunity is also in charge of all the diversity training for faculty and staff. “It’s really a partnership; we work together to identify areas we can improve,” Bratsch-Prince said. Maureen De Armond, member of the search committee and associate counsel, explained the importance of the Office of Equal Opportunity.

“Those policies are important to ensure we don’t have unlawful discrimination of hiring students and admission of students,” De Armond said. “Affirmative Action is more of a policy that strives to help us with diversity in our employment purposes as well.” De Armond also said the Office of Equal Opportunity works hand-in-hand with the ISU Police Department and Student Affairs to investigate reports of violent acts on campus, including sexual assault. De Armond said the difference between the vice president of diversity and inclusion and the role of the Office of Equal Opportunity is the Office of Equal Opportunity takes on more of an investigative component than the vice president of diversity and inclusion “I would envision the chief diversity officer looking more at strategy and goals and community building,” De Armond said. “[The Office of Equal Opportunity] does do education and outreach, but I think their time is limited on the extent they can do those things on a proactive basis.” The search committee is looking for a candidate with experience in higher education and wants a diverse pool of about 20 candidates. The applications are being reviewed Monday and finalists will be brought to campus around the end of January and beginning of February.

Live virtual summit to begin Digital By Eric.Wirth @iowastatedaily.com A two-week series about racism on college campuses is coming to Iowa State. The first part of the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching’s (CELT) four-part virtual summit will take place Monday. Researchers from CELT have compiled data from racial climate studies they have administered to those of color from nu-

merous colleges across the nation that are composed of mostly white students, faculty and staff. The series will focus on how acts of racism, no matter how small they were, have affected the lives of people on college campuses. The racism series will be broken into four different modules that will span the next two weeks at Iowa State. Module one: How People of Color Experience Racism on Campus, will begin at 3 p.m. in 1115

Pearson Hall. The remaining three modules will take place at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 14 and 16 in 1115 Pearson Hall except for the final module, which will take place at 3 p.m. in 0152 Science. While registration for the event is not required, capacity is limited to 90 people.

ISU hosts vigil for victims Students, faculty, staff honor sufferers of discrimination, terrorism By Kelsey.Palmros @iowastatedaily.com ISU students, faculty and staff came together Friday to light candles to honor those who suffer from discrimination and terrorism. A candlelight vigil took place at Pearson Hall on campus. Students and faculty of the world languages and cultures department

hosted the event, which started at 5:10 p.m. before the Jingle Jog and tree lighting events. This purpose of the vigil was to show support for the people who suffer and to bring people together. Students in attendance agreed that acts of terrorism and discrimination are important to remember. “This is the kind of stuff that needs to not

happen,” said Chris Perez, senior in world languages and cultures. Even though these acts of terrorism appear far away from Iowa State, they still has an affect on ISU students. “I think it is important to feel safe, especially on college campuses,” said Megan Sweere, senior in supply chain management and vice president of Student Government. With about 25 people

in attendance, students and faculty stood together as they passed out candles and assisted each other in lighting them. Some stood silently, while others conversed with one another. “I think it does affect our students; this is the world our students graduate out into,” said Jonathan Wickert, senior vice president and provost. “I think it is important for faculty and students to come together.”

Students hit it rich Professor helps improve Team wins $25,000 in cyber security competition

By Mitchel.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com Cyber security is one of the largest concerns in the United States and around the world. Companies such as Target and Sony have been hacked in recent years with large amounts of information such as credit cards and social security numbers falling into the wrong hands. A group of ISU students is on track to help fight against those cyber attacks. Five ISU students majoring in computer science or computer engineering competed in the first National Cyber Analyst Competition sponsored by Lockheed Martin and Temple University. The competition was split into three phases, the third landing the team in Washington, D.C. For the first phase, a case study was sent to the group on a flash drive. The case involved a fictional company that was attacked, and the group was tasked with investigating the intrusion. “We tried to figure out how [the intruders] got in and what this person took — pretty much all the relevant information we would give to the CEO of the company that got attacked,” said Sambhav Srirama, senior in computer science and one of the team members. “We constructed the presentation and sent it back to

Lockheed Martin, and they evaluated every school’s presentation to see if we qualified to participate in the second and third phases.” The second phase was a training step in which the teams learned how cyber defense specialists would have handled the first phase if the case was presented to them. This gave the team some valuable information that could be used in the third phase. “Preparation was a huge factor in the third phase because you didn’t have time to learn how to use a tool, you had to know how to use it right then,” said Matt Brown, graduate assistant in electrical and computer engineering. Each team — including Iowa State’s — was flown to Washington, D.C. for the third and final phase Nov. 30. The team had five hours to go through another case study to figure out if another intrusion had anything to do with the intrusion the team studied in the first phase. After the five hours had passed, the students had 30 minutes to assemble a presentation it would give to explain what it found and what it got out of it. “The results were determined entirely by the presentation,” said Jason Johnson, graduate assistant in political science and computer engineering. “Most teams ran out of time in their presentations, so the fact that we figured

out what was most important to find and present that correctly was a major factor.” The team finished in first place and won $25,000 as a result, which will be split evenly among Srirama, Brown, Johnson and two other participants, Steffanie Bisinger and Angela McMahon. “I think in the long run, what got us the win was teamwork,” Srirama said. “In the weeks leading up to the competition, we all tried to learn a new tool. We all tried to learn something new that we got out of phase two [so] when when we got into phase three we weren’t all working on the same thing during those five hours.” Srirama, Brown and Johnson all look forward to opportunities in the cyber analysis and information assurance field. Brown said he recently accepted a job with Lockheed Martin, and Srirama said several companies have expressed interest in him. A date for next year’s competition has yet to be selected.

By Felipe.Cabrera @iowastatedaily.com One member of Iowa State’s faculty is helping create an innovative and green way to propel underwater unmanned vehicles. Jonathan Claussen, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, joined Brian Iverson, assistant professor at Brigham Young University, and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory to create underwater unmanned vehicles that are used for simple tasks such as delivering payloads, lacing sensors and reconnaissance missions for the military. These vehicles aren’t maneuverable with the propellers being used. Claussen said the issue with conventional propellers is it is difficult to get the thrust needed for quick burst for tight and accurate maneuvers. Claussen found that using an old type of fuel to thrust the vehicle like a rocket is a better solution. “We’re using hydrogen peroxide as the fuel source,” Claussen said. “What’s nice about hydrogen peroxide is

produce and biodegradable. Once the vehicle outlives its use, it degrades safely in the environment without the need for retrieval. Iverson built the carbon nanotube structure for the chemical catalyst at BYU. He initially approached Claussen about a device/ design approach that was used for the carbon nanotube structure in the vehicle. “We grow carbon nanotubes from a surface and then we coat the carbon nanotubes in with amorphous carbons,” Iverson said. The carbon nanotubes are then grown in a pattern of arrangements reminiscent to squares on a scrabble board. The carbon nanotubes are used as a scaffold to make high-surface area micro channels. The entire structure is used as a filter to push the hydrogen peroxide through the filter so it can interact with the platinum catalyst, creating the burst. Iowa State has partnered with BYU’s Naval Research Project, NASA and the Department of Defense to complete the project.

Josh Fick said they have one of the better liquor collections in town, featuring a lot of top-shelf, premiumquality drinks. The manager gestured to dark, wooden shelves that held $100 to $200 bottles of liquor. They also have a popcorn machine. The District has a couple of upcoming things on its radar. The biggest, perhaps, is a pedestrian mall that’s in the process of being established behind The District and Mickey’s. The mall could feature things such as food carts. The team is also working on developing either a kitchen or club. One thing is for certain, the team has a lot of vision for the bar. “There’s so much room for growth. Every day can yield a new idea for anything,” Josh Fick said. “That’s why it’s so much fun

He explained that if there was an incident within Campustown, the police department would then have to go to local businesses and ask for access to their cameras, which may take a long time to acquire such evidence. “As a man serving in law enforcement, we should assume that there are cameras watching us 24/7 from the moment we

working here. There truly is endless possibilites.” Before opening The District, Brandon Fick worked a variety of jobs. He dabbled in things like construction, positions within large and small businesses and worked at another bar. He said he’s wanted to have his own business for a long time, but didn’t necessarily picture it being a bar. The bar aspect happened to present itself as an opportunity. “It just happened, it wasn’t a planned thing. I managed a bar that was in this location for a while [Charlie Yoke’s],” Brandon Fick said, adding things didn’t work out for that bar. When the owner decided to sell it, he offered to buy it. Brandon Fick originates from Muscatine, Iowa, but moved to Peoria, Ill., before returning to Iowa five or six years ago. He enjoys work and cars, and admits running his business ab-

sorbs most of his time. The owner’s favorite drink on the menu may come as a bit of a shock. “To be honest, I drink the worst of the worst,” Brandon Fick said, “I drink, well, white rum and coke because before I owned this, I never had enough money to drink anything besides that.” Although Brandon Fick enjoys the simple pleasures of being a business owner — such as being his own boss and making his own hours — he said the real satisfaction comes from making improvements and fixing problems the way he sees best, rather than being frustrated by what could be done better. Admitting he’s a bit of a perfectionist, Brandon Fick said people frequently comment that his perfectionism shows in his work and in the bar. “You’ve got to know how to deal with Brandon’s

perfectionism,” Hennessey said. Later, he added in a humorous tone that it took him about a month and a half to learn precisely how the lights and the music are supposed to be. Hennessey described a playlist of songs frequently played at the bar, including classic anthems for millennials such as “Sugar We’re Goin Down” by Fall Out Boy, “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers, “What’s My Age Again” by Blink-182 and “Pour Some Sugar on Me” by Def Leppard. Although the DJ booth is still in the works, customers can make music requests on a TouchTunes jukebox mounted on one of the bar’s walls. There’s also been consideration of changing the upstairs into a more adaptable location for live music. The owner said the hardest part of the whole

On the other hand, the negative effects of having cameras from a resident’s perspective would be things such as privacy issues and concerns including: who will be managing them, and what will the costs be for the residents? Congdon said security cameras may not directly make Campustown a safer area but they may make students think twice about making foolish decisions. “Having been a stu-

dent of ISU, what I see now is similar to what I saw then with young men and women making stupid decisions when they consume alcohol,” Congdon said. “It may not stop them from making those decisions but it may help them think twice before participating in those activities.” Reaching out to ISU students is important for the city to understand their opinions. “I think it’s a good idea; it would protect people and help if there were se-

rious investigations after an event,” said Max Najlis, freshman in engineering. “People might complain about privacy but it would still protect them.” Erin Otte, open-option freshman, thinks privacy concerns should be weighed more heavily than the potential additional safety. “I think it would be weird to have cameras in Campustown,” she said. “It makes me uncomfortable thinking that there are direct cameras watching me.”

In order to protect U.S. citizens, she sides with the multiple governors who have denied Syrian asylum. Carstens argues that generosity can only go so far until it is stupidity.

Refuse Syrian refugees Denying ayslum to Syrians will protect citizens living in U.S. By Courtney.Carstens @iowastatedaily.com

ithin the past few weeks, we have seen the terrorists attacks in Paris, attacks in other parts of the world claimed by ISIS and the mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., which has been under ISIS suspicion from the very start. With all of these tragedies combined, the world has realized — now more than ever — just how powerful this terrorist group really is. Because of the severity of these particular events that have taken place, I have now sided with the multiple governors across the United States who have refused Syrian refugee admittance into their state. Many people can make a similar argument, as I have before, that we need to help these people because it is our job as Americans, as a country of immigrants, but I have now seen the error of my ways. In response to the Paris attacks, 31 states have refused to provide asylum to Syrian refugees. Primarily, many governors have done this

because of the fear that ISIS members have disguised themselves as Syrian refugees. This fear has become reality. A terrorist killed more than 120 people during the Paris attacks and made his way through Europe disguised as a Syrian refugee, according to CNN’s senior correspondent Christiane Amanpour and producer Thom Patterson. Additionally, eight people were arrested in Istanbul after being suspected of being ISIS members. The police found a hand-drawn map of how to get to Germany in possession of one of the men. This wouldn’t usually be a legitimate reason for an arrest but this particular map showed elaborate details on how to join refugees via smuggler boats, buses and trains. A stick-man figure holding a flag was found on the map. Those are just two of the many examples of ISIS members disguising themselves as refugees, but many still believe we should allow these people into our country at the risk of so many. More than 320 million people live in the United States, while the Syrian Refugee population just peaked at 4 million people. Looking at this situation, we need to be concerned for the larger population. When trying to help a group of people whose population is equivalent to about 1 percent of our country’s population, we must ask, would the ends justify the means if a

portion of Syrian refugees are really ISIS members, and the United States witnesses another attack like 9/11? No, we can’t let this happen. Why should we be ready to allow tens of thousands of strangers into our country when the threat is so real? House Speaker Paul Ryan explained quite well to CNN reporters that “This is a moment where it is better to be safe than to be sorry, so we think the prudent, the responsible thing is to take a pause in this particular aspect of this refugee program in order to verify that terrorists are not trying to infiltrate the refugee population.” We are not being selfish by not wanting to allow these people into our country. We are being protective of the people who already live here. While I am not a Donald Trump supporter, he did make one good comment about the situation at hand. “France has closed its borders. You do not lock the front door of your house because you hate the people outside. You lock it because you love the people inside. A country’s border is its front door.” We may be a country that allows immigrants to live here, and the Statue of Liberty may have inscribed on her a passage about letting immigrants, the sick and other groups of people on our land, but we cannot be blinded by this. Generosity only goes so far until it becomes stupidity on our part.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Liberal media causes uninformed ideas By Jason Reynolds, Junior in mathematics Regarding one of the latest opinion columns in the Iowa State Daily, I find it absurd how much the liberal bias is pushed toward students on campus. Not only is the opinion only supported by less than 25 percent of Americans — less than half of those who are currently opposed to refugees, but it also undermines the real problem by attempting to incite guilt. I’d like to address specific aspects of the article that insinuate an overwhelming emotional aspect in contrast to a logical one. Snyder says nations are experiencing a “wave of xenophobia.” For years now, ever since the Syrian Civil War, refugees have been accepted all throughout Europe and even America. We clearly aren’t xenophobic — nations are only reacting in defense amid the crisis in France.

The fear isn’t about something strange or foreign, the fear stems from a logical worry about the safety of the country — something the author states later, thus obviously contradicting himself. The author also fails to emphasize this is a global issue, not an American one. Many European countries such as Poland, Hungary and Belgium have closed their borders to refugees in response to the Paris attacks. This number is bound to rise with time. All evidence points to the fact that the author has little knowledge about the Syrian Civil War, ISIS, the refugee crisis and the ongoing political turmoil in Europe. This brings me to my last comment about his article: “When we become reactionaries, we lose our capacity for sound reasoning, and a bandwagon approach to intolerance is not fitting of the American spirit.”

If one actually knows about the events, they’d understand the gravity of this situation. A large, coordinated terrorist group has infiltrated Europe and America by blending with legitimate refugees. They are making threats to major cities and stated their ambitious goal of destroying the West. This has happened because of a wide open-door policy with no screening process implemented in Europe. It’s ironic that the author believes people are losing their capacity for sound reasoning because they oppose refugees. It’s quite the opposite — having no fundamental understanding of the issue and producing emotional responses, then forming an opinion from this is a lack of sound reasoning. He also blames people for jumping on a bandwagon, yet he’s doing the same, but on the other side.

From this article and many others, it’s absolutely clear that a vast amount of people disapprove of refugees coming in at this time. Over 30 states have also declared their opposition. That’s 60 percent and growing and this isn’t because people are insensitive or reactionaries. We all feel sorry for the refugees; what’s happening is terrible. However, the safety of this nation and its citizens is also important. America is for the people and by the people. Hence, many people are disappointed in your newspaper publishing an article that only appeals to a small group. Why not have an article from the other side? I’ll take a wild guess and say that the editorial board is highly liberal. I truly hope your paper finds integrity and represents American and ISU events as a whole, rather than just a liberal outlet.

The American Medical Association, or AMA, recommended that the federal government ban any directto-consumer advertising by drug companies. Hundreds of doctors voted to support a ban of these drug advertisements at the AMA’s annual meeting last month, according to The Hill. This is in an effort to reduce the cost of drugs, a major concern of the association, according to a news release from the AMA. The cost of prescription drugs has risen recently, spiking 4.7 percent in 2015, according to the statement. Because of this increase, the cost of drugs has become the American people’s biggest health care concern. The AMA argues that this direct-toconsumer advertising for prescription drugs drives demand and therefore, increases prices on the medications. “Today’s vote in support of an advertising ban reflects concerns among physicians about the negative impact of commercially-driven promotions, and the role that marketing costs play in fueling escalating drug prices,” said AMA Board Chair-elect Dr. Patrice A. Harris in the statement. “Direct-toconsumer advertising also inflates demand for new and more expensive drugs, even when these drugs may not be appropriate.” Pharmaceutical companies have spent $4.5 billion on advertising and the money spent has increased 30 percent in the last two years. The United States is one of only two countries in the world that allows this sort of advertising, with New Zealand being the other, according to the statement. The concept of advertising prescription drugs directly to consumers at its core simply does not make sense. Most of the viewers of this drug advertising are not trained in the medical field and would not have the best judgement as to which medications would be best for their ailments. Shouldn’t that decision be left up to their doctors, who have a much better understanding of health problems and medications? Additionally, drugs are meant to help people get better. So the fact pharmaceutical companies are spending billions of dollars per year to profit from people’s sicknesses is deeply concerning. Obviously, we live in a capitalist society and these companies are out to make money but limiting their direct influences over Americans might be the first step into making the process a little bit more moral for sick Americans. Also, if almost every other country in the world has taken action to ban these advertisements, why hasn’t the United States? Obviously these other countries have seen or at least have predicted negative effects of these drug advertisements. In all, the United States counts for 34 percent of pharmaceutical sales, according to a PBS Newshour article. Perhaps, this country’s direct-to-consumer advertisements are partly to blame for why so many Americans are on drugs. Lastly, it is concerning that many Americans can no longer afford their prescription drugs. According to PBS, 21 percent of adults in America did not fill a prescription or skipped doses because they could not afford the medicine. If the AMA believes banning these advertisements may lead to more affordable drugs, shouldn’t the federal government listen to this country’s doctors and ban the advertisements?

Women set high bar for men Iowa State controls post against Southern

Cyclones focus on defensive consistency

By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com

By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com

It was a lineup that the ISU women’s basketball team hadn’t turned to all season. Partly because of Bridget Carleton’s injury and partly because of the matchup, the Cyclones started Sunday’s game against Southern with two forwards and three guards. Normally, ISU coach Bill Fennelly goes with four guards and one forward. But, he decided to go big. “We’ve been practicing a lot of different lineups,” Fennelly said. “We know at some point we’re going to have to go a little bit bigger. We’re trying to get some offense off the bench. We’re just trying a lot of different stuff.” It didn’t go so well early on, as Iowa State (43, 0-0 Big 12) couldn’t run an effective offense and struggled to pull away from an undersized Southern (2-4, 0-0 SWAC). Fennelly shifted his offense back to his typical four-guard, oneforward approach. “[It went] kind of like my experiments in chemistry class when I was a sophomore in high school and the thing blew up in my face,” Fennelly said. “It wasn’t great. It wasn’t terrible.” Even though the twoforward lineup didn’t work out to start the game, Iowa State’s post players still dominated, and the Cyclones won in huge fashion, 86-46. The Cyclones cleaned up on the glass, out-rebounding the Jaguars 6134. Iowa State also had an abundance of secondchance opportunities, dropping 21 points off of its 17 offensive rebounds. The Cyclones dominated inside the paint, out-scoring the Jaguars 34-10 down low. Forward Meredith Burkhall, who started the game alongside Bryanna Fernstrom in the post, put up a game-high 18 points on 9-for-14 shooting in only 27 minutes. She added eight rebounds and two blocks. “[I’m] coming off a big game against UNI also, so I’ve been having lots of success,” Burkhall said. “My teammates found me around the rim, and I was running the court, and my teammates found me in transition. I’m really excited. I’ve just got to keep it going and keep the consistency and keep the wins up.” Burkhall’s strong performance has been brewing for the past few games, and she showed signs of her dominance in a win against Northern Iowa on Wednesday. Coming off

It’s a hard week to be Buffalo. Coming off a 23-point loss at No. 7 Duke, the Bulls will now take on No. 5 Iowa State on Monday night at Hilton Coliseum. Facing one top-10 team away from home is enough, let alone two. “Man, I was joking with [assistant coach] T.J. [Otzelberger],” said ISU coach Steve Prohm. “I was like, ‘Man, that’s a tough three days.’ If I’m them, I’m thinking, ‘Hey it’s a great opportunity. We got a chance to go play two top10 teams on the road and find out about ourself.’” Buffalo (4-3, 0-0 MAC) will be a significant underdog on paper, with losses against St. Bonaventure, Old Dominion and Saint Joseph’s, but Prohm isn’t taking the Bulls lightly. “They’re still very talented,” Prohm said. “[The] point guard makes them go. [He’s a] really lookingto-score-first point guard. [Buffalo is] very capable of putting up points, so we got to do a good job defensively against them.” Georges Niang echoed Prohm’s defensive emphasis. Iowa State has put a greater focus on defense throughout the season. The Cyclones have shown defensive improvement in long stretches, but the team is now working to be good on a more consistent basis. Niang, who is good to go after an injury scare in his last game, said the team is focusing on avoiding sloppy defense over a short stretch. “Coach Prohm has instilled a belief in us that we can have an identity as a team that plays defense,” Niang said. “I think every day, when you get a little bit of success with that, you start working harder and harder at it and realize that can be somewhat of our identity. “We can score, but we can also stop you on the other end.” Point guard Monté Morris also recognizes the occasional defensive lapses and said some of that blame falls on him. “I know some stretches, we look great on defense, and some stretches we might look a little tired,” Morris said. The ISU defense seems to be at its best when the guards apply pressure to the opposing team’s ball handlers and force turnovers. That responsibility falls largely on Morris, who is averaging two steals per game, but Hallice Cooke

the bench, Burkhall had 11 points in 14 minutes, and Fennelly said afterward that she was the highlight of the game. The highlight of this game was Seanna Johnson, who grabbed her sixth double-double of the season with 12 points and 14 rebounds. She came relatively close to a triple-double, dishing out six assists. And even though Johnson has been the star in the past couple of weeks for the Cyclones, Burkhall has been close behind. “She went through a dip a little bit after the Drake game,” Fennelly said. “She found another gear. We just told her, ‘You’re going to play and do the things that you do and get us some points.’ The UNI game, obviously you didn’t expect what she did today, gave her a lot of confidence to know she can do some stuff.” While Burkhall helped the Cyclones climb above .500 on the season, the team didn’t look like it was going to win in such dominating fashion in the first quarter. In a matter of 18 seconds, Iowa State had two turnovers. In a game where Iowa State was heavily favored, it only led Southern 15-10 heading

into the second quarter. Fennelly also experimented at the guard position, placing TeeTee Starks at point guard to help Jadda Buckley score. That plan, along with the two-forward system, backfired. “I probably overthought it and tried to come up with something that wasn’t there,” Fennelly said. “I would imagine we will with our normal starting lineup, depending on how things go.” But the key for Iowa State moving forward will be what Fennelly tried at the beginning of the game Sunday — running an effective offense with two forwards in at the same time. And that will be a focus as Iowa State takes on Iowa on Friday. “I really believe as we go through our season, we have to find a way to play [Fernstrom], [Burkhall] and [Claire Ricketts], and two of them at the same time,” Fennelly said. “Not all the time because it’s not going to be our best lineup, but we have to find a way with those two in the game where we can function. There’s a lot of good things, but it’s not something we are good at yet.”

ISU FANS SUPPORT BUFFALO COACH’S WIFE Iowa State and Buffalo will battle on the court Monday night, but the Cyclones and Bulls are joining forces off the court to battle a much bigger opponent. Buffalo head coach Nate Oats’ wife, Crystal, is battling lymphoma. As is often the case, medical bills have piled up for the family. Chris Williams, publisher of CycloneFanatic.com, set up a GoFundMe fundraiser titled “Cyclones for the Oats Family” where Iowa State fans can donate money to help with the Oats’ medical bills. “I think it would be very cool for the Cyclone nation to step up, do what they can and help support the Oats family (along with their three daughters Lexi, Jocie and Brielle) that is struggling to keep up with medical bills,” Williams wrote on the GoFundMe page. So far, Cyclone fans have responded. In just one day, 195 people donated to the cause. The initial goal of raising $5,000 for the Oats family has already been surpassed. “Prayers from cyclONEnation,” wrote one donor. “Fight like hell, Crystal. Prayers from Iowa State,” wrote another. “Rooting for the Cyclones on the court. Rooting for you wife in life!” wrote another. and Naz Mitrou-Long have also been important in pressuring the ball. “You can tell when I’m into it and energized on defense,” Morris said. The problem is that Morris plays a lot of minutes, as the Cyclones don’t have a true backup point guard. When Morris gets tired, his defensive intensity drops a bit. To combat those quick breaks to which Morris is susceptible on occasion, he

said Cooke will usually take a few minutes guarding the opposing team’s main ball handler. That shift allows Morris to take a break for awhile by guarding someone who plays off the ball. The Cyclones will focus on limiting those defensive lapses and improving their consistency on the defensive end Monday against Buffalo, before they get in-state rival Iowa later in the week.

Penalties, special teams sink Cyclone Hockey By Ryan.Leon @iowastatedaily.com In a fast-paced game like hockey, every team is constantly searching for that edge on any given play. Most of the time, this comes in the form of special teams and skater advantages. The Cyclones struggled to produce special team’s goals in their road trip against Ohio and gave up too many chances when down a man on the ice. The Cyclones dropped both games of the series against the Ohio Bobcats, losing a tight 5-3 game and suffering a complete collapse in the second game with a 6-0 loss. The Cyclones had their offense going in the first matchup but could never get any momentum going because of penalties.

“I think we’re one of the best teams in the country at 5-on-5,” said Cyclone coach Jason Fairman. “We told the team that we had to stay out of the box, and we wanted to play the game 5-on-5, but that just didn’t happen.” The Cyclones racked up the penalties in both games, with an unacceptable 26 minutes in the first game. These penalties always seemed to come at the worst possible moment, and the Bobcats capitalized. Ohio’s power-play unit scored three times in the series and always seemed to deflate any Cyclone momentum. The Cyclone’s power play was no joke during the series, however. The Cyclones also managed to score three times on the power play, but they all came in the third period of the first game and proved to

be too little, too late. “We have a number of different power plays looks to work with, but we never seemed to be able to get one going consistently,” said senior defenseman Cory Sellers. The Cyclones faced a whole new issue on special teams in their second game, giving up two shorthanded goals to the Bobcats. Short-handed goals are big momentum killers for a team trying to mount a comeback. While the penalties came in bunches for the Cyclones, the Bobcats were also hit with quite a few penalties. Both games were tightly officiated and it seemed to affect both sides. “From talking with Ohio’s coach, I think both teams were frustrated by the officiating, but that’s going to happen,” Fairman

said. “It’s nothing new, and you’re going to have to deal with it.” Despite the score, the Cyclone goalies played well, especially when they were playing even. Five of the eight total goals scored by

Ohio took place during either power plays or when the Bobcats were shorthanded, both of which can be difficult for a goalie to adjust to. The Cyclones will work on cutting down the penal-

ties before their quick turnaround against Dakota College at Bottineau on Friday and Saturday at the Ames/ ISU Ice Arena. Those will be their last two games of 2015 before the season starts back up in January.

Cyclones reminisce on 2015 season Second-round NCAA loss sends team packing

By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com MADISON, Wisc. — ISU senior Caitlin Nolan hung up her ISU jersey for the last time Friday night, and thoughts flooded her mind about the first time she had the opportunity to don the cardinal and gold. Nolan made her way to the media room to be interviewed one last time. As she spoke, her phrases became shorter and her words became slightly distorted as the emotions finally hit her. She realized, in the midst of being interviewed, that this was the end of the season and her career as a Cyclone. No. 10 Wisconsin (256, 16-4 Big 10) swept Iowa State (19-10, 11-5 Big 12) in three sets (25-18, 25-15, 2521) to advance to the regionals and send the Cyclones home for good. Even though this season has drawn to a close, and three key seniors are leaving, the team can’t help but reflect on its success. “I’m really proud of the team and the season that we accomplished,” said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “As a coach, you hope that your team has played to its potential, and I believe they showed it toward the end of the season.” Before heading into the Big 12 regular season conference play, Iowa State struggled to find its game as a whole. The Cyclones lost against Marquette, Virginia, Nebraska and in-state rival Iowa at the beginning of the season. Johnson-Lynch said a light turned on for the team once it reached Big 12 play. The players were communicating, and the team looked in sync. There were a few changes that the coaching staff had to make throughout conference play, but nothing compared to earlier in the season. That stretch

was when Johnson-Lynch started seeing the potential of the team. Iowa State swept TCU on Nov. 7 in Fort Worth, Texas, and gave JohnsonLynch hope that the team had a chance in the NCAA Tournament. Iowa State hit a roadblock against Wisconsin and was defeated Friday night, but Johnson-Lynch was still proud of the Cyclones for playing up to their potential toward the end of this season. “We’ve overcome a lot of adversity with handling injuries and having different people play different positions,” said junior outside hitter Ciara Capezio. “We started the season off a little rocky, but as the season progressed and into today, we found out who we really were.” Iowa State now bids farewell to three seniors:

Mackenzie Bigbee, Tory Knuth and Nolan. Bigbee had to sit on the bench the majority of this year with a blood clot in her knee, but was a former All-American selection. Knuth also had to battle through some severe injuries as a player, and Johnson-Lynch was proud to have her as a middle blocker for the team this season. Finally, Nolan had to replace Kristen Hahn. Not only did Nolan rise up to the challenge, but she also won two Big 12 Libero of the Year award. “It’s been a great ride and I feel like every year, we’ve gotten a little bit better,” Nolan said while holding back some tears. “I think I’ve learned so much about myself as a person, and as a volleyball player and I couldn’t be more thankful to my teammates and the

The team will bring back its setter in Monique Harris as well as two middle blockers in Alexis Conaway and Samara West. Iowa State will also return Big 12 Freshman of the Year winner Jess Schaben. Johnson-Lynch knows it’ll be hard replacing Nolan as libero, but Branen Berta and Abby Phillips will compete for that spot next season. “We return a lot of players, and we do have some question marks for sure, and people will have to con-

WHAT’S NEXT FOR IOWA STATE? The regular season and NCAA Tournament may be done for Iowa State, but that doesn’t mean there’s work to do for next year. The team will probably have Dead Week, Finals Week and the break to relax and let the weekend sink in. After the break, the team has to start preparing for the spring season in February. The spring season is short, but it includes a couple weekends of intense competition. tinue to compete,” JohnsonLynch said. “We have a core group of players, though, that we can build from and take another step. We’re going to keep pushing for that.” Johnson-Lynch wasn’t finished after the press conference. She had one more task to accomplish. She walked back onto to the court and gave hugs and

showed her appreciation to the families and friends that came out to Madison, Wisc., to support the Cyclones. Finally, the bags were packed on the bus and it started rolling out of Wisconsin Field House. As it did, Nolan looked back at the complex, catching one more glimpse of the venue that was home to her last match as a collegiate athlete.

THE DISTRICT p4 process was construction, which involved a small crew of three people working for three months. The crew spent multiple nights sleeping at the bar in booths they built. “There was no point in going home. It was already [4 a.m.], we were going to start again at [7 a.m.],” he said. When setting up, Brandon Fick said the establishment’s aesthetic was largely inspired by bars in Chicago. When living in Peoria, the owner lived a relatively short two-hour drive from the city. He said The District has the same shape as any bar packed on a city block in Chicago; they’re very deep, skinny and have interesting features such as garage doors opening up the back. The garage door concept has been adopted by the The District to give its customers a similar experience. Brandon Fick said the concept is Old Chicago, but rebuilt, redone and new. “The physical thing that I like most about The District is the back deck,” Jefferson said, “It’s a cool spot, especially when it’s warm. It was just a cool vibe — you could chill out there all night. It’s beautiful.” Brandon Fick said many things during renovation were accidental such as the exposed brick

The District is the newest bar to come to Campustown. It opened in January and still has a $250 bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label blended scotch whiskey behind the bar from its original opening date nearly a year ago. The bar is located on 2518 Lincoln Way.

wall on the western side of the bar. During the construction process, multiple layers of “cover-up” walls were ripped down out of simple curiosity. The different layers varied from brick wallpaper and black plaster to metal. A simple brick wall — the one exposed in the bar now — was the layer underneath it all. The managers around for the construction process can recall the amount of dedication that went into The District from day one. “I came in here one time, there was one brick showing, and it took them 30 minutes to polish it,” Hennessey said, reflecting on

the tedious process. Brandon Fick said they were very “scatter-brained” during construction, but the place reveals nothing but a composed environment. The venue is decorated with an assortment of collectable knickknacks, metal beers logos, old road signs and hanging light fixtures. In the back of the bar, six original ISU football programs are neatly hung in a bunch. Josh Fick said they collected the vintage publications off eBay, and they date back 50 to 60 years, including one from 1930. The bar features other trea-

sures such as multiple original Guinness signs they found online. Also mounted on the wall are small metal signs, the size of a modern-day bumper sticker, that read, “Hoover for President” and “Repeal the 18th Amendment.” The signs are originals from the 1930s and 40s and would’ve been attached under a car’s license plate back in those times. The bar features other interesting decorations. Laughing, Josh Fick pointed out to Brandon Fick that someone slipped a small photograph of Jesus into the edge of a framed Jack Trice picture hung on the wall. “I’m fine with that,” the owner said. There’s a unanimous decision among the team that establishing the bar has been a process, but something they’ve had fun perfecting. “Part of the process is the learning as you go — sure I would change a lot of things — but you have to learn from your mistakes in big projects like this,” Brandon Fick said. The District currently has about 20 employees. Josh Fick said employees can feed off the owner’s energy and passion. He said all of the employees keep things running the way Brandon Fick wants them — not out of fear — but out of wanting things to be right. “You know what I think is kind of dope here? This has been

homebase, and it still is homebase, at least for me,” Jefferson said. “We have a squad that comes here. As well as I think that there’s a squad that works here.” Hennessey and Josh Fick have been working at the bar together since The District opened last year. Josh Fick moved from Muscatine, Iowa, where he and Brandon Fick were both raised, to work at the bar. Previously, Josh Fick has worked in private security and as a correctional officer. He has a degree in law enforcement, and said the bar has been a necessary change of scene. “It’s just fun,” he said. “For the first time in my life, I can go to work, I can enjoy myself because I know that people are enjoying themselves. For once, I’m in an atmosphere where people are happy.” The employees come to another mutual agreement: they enjoy their work and the people they work with. “The most enjoyable part is coming in at 9 or 10 [p.m.] and this place being at capacity, everyone singing along to whatever song is playing, dancing and having a good time,” Brandon Fick said. On a wooden shelf behind the bar sits a $250 bottle of Blue Label Johnnie Walker blended scotch whiskey, one of the only remaining bottles of liquor from the bar’s opening almost a year ago.
