Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad accepted to become the U.S. ambassador to China under Donald Trump.

SAME OLD RIVALRY Cyclones ready to make statement in Cy-Hawk battle in Iowa City By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Georges Niang is known for his trash talking — especially any time Iowa State played Iowa. On Monday night, that continued. “Were you guarding Klay Thompson last night?” Iowa State coach Steve Prohm texted Niang after Thompson dropped 60 points against the Indiana Pacers on Monday. “Stay in Iowa City if you don’t win on Thursday,” Niang replied. Even though he isn’t in Ames anymore,

Niang is still making his presence felt — and it comes at a perfect time. No. 25 Iowa State (6-2, 0-0 Big 12) heads to Iowa City on Thursday to take on Iowa (4-5, 0-0 Big Ten) in the annual Cy-Hawk series basketball game. And while Niang won’t be on the court to carry on his legacy of trash talking, point guard Monté Morris is ready to carry on the tradition. “I’ve got a surprise up my sleeve,” Morris said. “It’s better than [Niang’s] kiss.” Morris said it’s all in good fun, though. And in recent years, mainly since Niang’s student section kiss at Carver-Hawkeye arena, Morris said trash talking has added to the rivalry. And, it’d be a boring game without it. “For a big time player to do that, it just sparked the rivalry,” Morris said. “Fans come to watch, trash talking is the expectation for the game. It hypes the whole thing

Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad has been tapped to be ambassador to China by President-elect Donald Trump — an offer the governor said he was “honored and humbled” to accept. Branstad, a Republican who is the longest serving governor in U.S. history, is described as an “old friend” of Chinese President Xi Jinping and accepted the offer just a day after meeting with Trump in New York with his wife. “I have known President Xi Jinping for many years and consider him an old friend,” Branstad said. “I look forward to building on our long friendship to cultivate and strengthen the relationship between our two countries and to benefit our economy.” Trump said the appointment will serve Branstad well “as he represents America’s interests and further develops a mutually beneficial relationship with Chinese leadership.” “Governor Branstad’s decades of experience in public service and longtime relationship with President Xi Jinping and other Chinese leaders make him the ideal choice to serve as America’s ambassador to China,” Trump said. “He successfully devel-

Police build relationships over coffee

By Danielle.Gehr @iowastatedaily.com

Conversations among students, staff and Iowa State police officers, accompanied by coffee and donuts, took place in the Memorial Union Wednesday morning. These conversations weren’t necessarily long, in-depth discussions on the stigmas that surround police in today’s climate, however, that wasn’t the goal. In this event put on by the police department, called Coffee with a Cop, officers opened themselves up to the public to answer questions and to just have a friendly chat with members of the community. Anthony Greiter, an officer with Iowa State Police in charge of outreach, said, “It’s huge for us to continue to improve the relationship that we have with the community. I was a student here, I’ve worked here for the last seven years, and there are a lot of things that happen on campus that I don’t know exist. A lot of fears, concerns, whatever it may be, and

this is an opportunity for those fears or concerns or questions to come up.” Coffee, donuts and cops were all ready and set up at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday. Unfortunately, most students probably were not ready to get out of bed, let alone partake in police outreach. “We had a little bit of slow start, but people started to filter in as they woke up and we’ve had a great turnout,” Greiter said. “I have to remember that not everyone gets up at 5 [a.m.] like I do.” Eventually, students, staff and faculty made their way to the free caffeine, giving the officers their opportunity to meet more members of their community. Some of the attendees had questions about law enforcement, some wanted to thank the cops for the job they do every day and some had conversations that were completely unrelated to police work, but just as beneficial. “I think it is also good for the community to see that the cops are interested in what they kind of think about

in their daily lives; [that] they just kind of want to reach out to them and get to know them,” Wiggins said. About a dozen officers were present at the event, including Elliot Florer, a lieutenant at the Iowa State Police Department who deals with community outreach as well and has been a part of similar events in the past. “It’s important to be part of our community,” Florer said. “I’d say that the relationship that we have with our community, if it’s positive, it helps keep everyone safe. And we want people to feel safe, we want people to feel heard. When we do have an issue on campus, we can solve it.” Aaron Delashmutt, interim police chief, was also present and said he was able to answer questions that several students had. “You have to stay connected with your community, so it’s the only way I think that we’ll get through these rough times right now,” Delashmutt said. “The community and the police, they have to talk, they have to understand where the issues are and have that open line of communication.”

How high is too high for higher education? 2016 2017 By Isa.Courneyor @iowastatedaily.com

Quynh Dang/ Iowa State Daily

Iowa State has raised tuition again, causing concern among students. Last year, students at Iowa State saw an increase of $116 for in-state undergraduates and $234 for out-of-state undergraduates. This summer, all students saw a $100 to $250 increase, and this week, the Iowa Board of Regents approved increases of $142 for in-state students and $614 for out-of-state students. Some out-of-state students have questioned the gap between in-state increases and their own. Monet Hall, sophomore in interior design, isn’t sure where her extra tuition money will come from.

“My financial aid barely covers my schooling right now,” Hall said. “To be responsible for an additional $634 is not something I look forward to next year.” Hall shared her thoughts on the out-of-state versus in-state tuition differences. “Tuition right now is already too high for me,” Hall said. “It makes me angry because I’m from Minnesota and I think at one point we actually paid instate tuition.” Hall explained that she had wanted to go to an out-of-state university to further her education and she knew that the price would differ from in-state institution rates. “Iowa State’s [tuition] was slightly lower than other colleges I had looked at,” Hall said. “But I knew that the prices would be higher if I left Minnesota.” Hall also said that while she plans on continuing her adventure at Iowa State, she has been looking at ways to cut costs along the way. “It’s too late to turn back now, but I’ve been able to keep my expenses down,” Hall said. “I don’t buy my books if I can rent them or use someone else’s, I don’t have a meal plan and I’ve been looking for cheaper off-campus housing for next year.”

While in-state tuition increases are lower, Iowa students also see the cause for concern from others. Natalie Keller, sophomore in global resource systems, expressed her sympathy for those coming from out of state. “Out-of-state students pay so much more than in-state students already,” Keller said. “The increase could mean more loans for some students, which would also mean more debt.” Tuition at Iowa State, however, is still significantly lower than competing universities. Even with the tuition increases, out-of-state rates are far lower at Iowa State than at the University of Iowa. Out-of-state students should also compare Iowa State’s rates to tuition costs across the Midwest. The University of WisconsinMadison, for example, has outof-state tuition costs at about $32,738, the same as Iowa State’s total estimated expenses for an undergraduate student. The University of Kansas is nearly as high, costing out-of-state residents about $28,239 in tuition. Noted that Iowa State’s tuitions and costs are lower than other universities, the increases can be deemed useful.

The extra money can go toward professor costs and salaries. Iowa State maintains a high education system, and without being able to raise its professors’ salaries, it simply cannot afford to obtain the best instructors in the fields. But it isn’t just out-of-state students who have a higher tuition increase. International students are going to receive the second in a three-part increase. International student tuition will go up $500, the same amount as this past year. The international student tuition rate will increase another $500 next year, totaling the proposed tuition increase of $1,500 over the three years. The increase in tuition has some international students in fear that they will soon be unable to attend Iowa State. Laryssa Meira, freshman in pre-dietetics, shares her thoughts on the current tuition difference between national and international tuition rates. “Tuition right now is very expensive for international students, which I understand,” Meira said. “It should be higher than United States citizens, but I feel the difference is enormous.”

WHAT ABOUT IOWA STATE AND ITS COMMUNITY WAS APPEALING TO YOU WHEN DECIDING ON APPLYING FOR THE POSITION? Iowa State is nationally known for being a tremendous living and learning environment for students. I grew up in Ames, Iowa, and have been a Cyclone since I was little and had two parents who worked for Iowa State, so it’s been special for a long time. When I went back and reviewed a paper I had written for my master’s degree, my dream had been to be the dean of students at Iowa State. So in many ways, I am applying for my dream job.

WHAT ABOUT IOWA STATE AND ITS COMMUNITY WAS APPEALING TO YOU WHEN DECIDING ON APPLYING FOR THE POSITION?

I think it’s an exciting time in the history of Iowa State University. You have a president who’s articulated a very bold vision and a vision that’s already coming to fruition. It’s a time in which enrollment is up and excitement about the university is very high, which will bring some challenges.

Iowa State University is one of the great institutions in this nation, and when I saw the job, it mirrored much of the work I am doing at William & Mary. From creating student leadership opportunities as well as give students a sense of belonging towards their success. I really mirror the experiences that I’ve had thus far, and Iowa State is a great institution. It’s great for academic success, students dedicated to that success and having a positive impact in the community.

I have been at Iowa State for 8 years and have really enjoyed my time here. The opportunity to grow professionally as well as stay at an institution I love is very attractive. What initially attracted me to ISU is the student experience and it’s long history of student engagement being a high priority. This all remains true, I came to Iowa State because of the reputation and I stayed because I’ve found that it’s such an integral part of what we do. I really appreciate working at ISU because the faculty and staff genuinely care about serving students and that’s an important priority.

WHAT ISSUES ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU IN RELATION TO YOUR POSITION AS WELL AS THE UNIVERSITY AS A WHOLE?

What I’ve learned from the interview process is that Iowa State is already adjusting many issues associated with students, faculty and staff. We’re in a place right now where we have to focus on community and those issues of stability and respect as well as caring for one another. As you know, you’re continuing to grow at a pretty record-setting pace, and with that comes challenges. So just continuing to deliver high-quality services and classes for students as enrollment continues to grow.

It’s obvious to me in the profile of the dean of students that there are a lot of areas that are experiencing growth. A traditional way to deal with that is programs that receive growth you resource, but now, how do you do that when everything is growing? One of the challenges would be to come in and find those things that could be most influential in meeting the needs of students as well as giving them the resources they need. So the challenge for anyone who is fortunate enough to get this position would be how to take already successful programs and elevate them to the next level.

“SOJUSTCONTINUING TO DELIVER HIGHQUALITY SERVICES AND CLASSES FOR STUDENTS AS ENROLLMENT CONTINUES TO GROW.”

“IT’S OBVIOUS TO ME IN THE PROFILE OF THE DEAN OF STUDENTS THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF AREAS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING GROWTH. ”

WHAT ISSUES ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU IN RELATION TO YOUR POSITION AS WELL AS THE UNIVERSITY AS A WHOLE? There’s two areas that would for sure be at the forefront for me, one of which revolves around campus climate. I’ve gotten to speak with students formally as well as reaching out to students and certainly heard concerns from them about the climate on campus. That’s certainly an area where I feel well positioned and have great experience as it relates to cultivating the respect of stability.

“I FEEL WELL POSITIONED AND HAVE GREAT EXPERIENCE AS IT RELATES TO CULTIVATING THE RESPECT OF STABILITY.”

WHAT ISSUES ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU IN RELATION TO YOUR POSITION AS WELL AS THE UNIVERSITY AS A WHOLE? The sense of safety that students feel is integral to learning and growth, so having that sense of perspective to create a campus climate that welcomes all students and creates a safe space for them to pursue their goals is important. Issues of sexual assault and violence definitely need to be addressed more.

“I CAME TO IOWA STATE BECAUSE OF THE REPUTATION AND I STAYED BECAUSE I’VE FOUND THAT IT’S SUCH AN INTEGRAL PART OF WHAT WE DO. ”

By Shannon.McCarty @iowastatedaily.com With the United States on the cusp of having new leadership of the federal government, community members of the Chamber of Commerce met with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to discuss how President-elect Donald Trump and a new Republican majority Congress will affect the business community. John Kirchner, executive director of the Midwest Region of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Congressional and Public Affairs, addressed policy issues relating to the business community of this calendar year as well as looking ahead to policy issues from incoming Trump to chamber members. Kirchner pointed out that with the White House and Congress now being under one party and both having a common agenda, there would be a lot of advantages for the business community. “[Despite having a split government,] there’s several chamber priorities that still have come along,” Kirchner said. With Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders gaining more influence and notoriety, Kirchner expects they will play a large part in the Democratic Party’s opposition on certain issues such as banking reform. While the Republicans have the majority, they will still not have enough to overcome a filibuster, making the 2018 election very important, Kirchner said. “We feel like we’re very good at building unique coalitions of Republicans and Democrats,” Kirchner said. As for the current Congress, Kirchner said the U.S. Chamber expects for a low number bills to be passed, as this is common with a Congress that has a new party administration coming in. “For those of us who were hoping that the Trans-Pacific Partnership would somehow [be] revitalized — President-elect Trump determined that TPP is dead,” Kirchner said. Heading into 2017, Kirchner said the U.S. Chamber hopes to continue to work with congressional leaders in order to get an idea as to what the top priorities will be. Kirchner cited Speaker of the House Paul Ryan’s “Better Way” agenda as a possible outlook on what Congress will focus on. Some of the issues included in the plan are tax reform, national security and regulatory reform. Kirchner also said infrastructure, budget reconciliation, the Supreme Court nomination and the debt ceiling are all expected to be major priorities for Congress. “Washington has become much more polarizing,” Kirchner said. Due to the increased polarization, the United States decided to get involved with primary state elections, Kirchner said. The chamber tries to find more moderate, pro-business candidates to endorse.

CULTURE COMMENTARY:

Kanye and other artists struggle with all the attention sent their way.

THE SPOTLIGHT By Alexander.Gray @iowastatedaily.com Kanye West is easily one of the most well-known and reported-on musicians of our generation. With 21 Grammy awards under his belt, his success shows no sign of slowing down. Rolling Stone placed his most recent album, “The Life of Pablo,” as the the eighth best album of the year. Regardless of how you feel about his music, you know who he is, and he puts a lot of effort into that. Among his Twitter account, music and public persona, West is constantly drawing attention to himself. Most people don’t look much into it and chalk it up to a narcissistic celebrity’s antics. But after his recent hospitalization for sleep deprivation and exhaustion, and subsequent cancellation of the rest of his Saint Pablo Tour, which was scheduled to run through Dec. 31, it’s very likely that narcissism is not the sole reason behind West’s behavior. Of course, your average tabloid will throw headlines out around the lines of, “KANYE INSANE?” or “KANYE WEST CHEATING ON KIM K WITH A MAN?” or the classic, “JFK’S MURDER UNCOVERED: KANYE WEST DID IT.” Most people take a glance at these ridiculous statements on the covers of People magazine in line at the grocery store and move on with their life. Without sensationalizing it, I believe that there are some real, deeper issues at play here. When his hospitalization was first reported Nov. 22, one of the first things that came to mind was, “I can’t believe he hasn’t been already,” and didn’t think too much about it beyond that. Each move a celebrity like West makes is under the magnifying glass of the public eye and entertainment media. And when the public sees an adult celebrity fail, fall victim to drug use or mental illness, come under attack or have a career damaging outburst, it’s easy to view it as little more than your average reality TV show’s drama. Child stars are often spoken of when talking about overexposure to fame: Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Amanda Bynes, River Phoenix, the Olsen twins and more recently, Miley Cyrus. Granted, a child is considerably less suited to constantly be in the spotlight than an adult, but not much time is spent on adults whose entire lives have been permanently changed by their success as an artist. Lady Gaga, a.k.a. Stefani Germanotta, was interviewed on a recent installment of CBS’ Sunday Morning and brought the subject back to my attention. Her newest album, “Joanne,” heavily contrasts the sound and themes that she began with in her debut album, “The Fame.” It reflects where she feels she is in life and her career. “I used to come home and I think my mom used to watch me have a real hard time washing it off, you know?” Germanotta said about her stage persona

in the interview. “I’m very acutely aware that once I cross that property line, I’m not free anymore. [...] I miss, you know, going anywhere and meeting a random person and saying ‘Hi’ and having a conversation about life. I love people.” While it can be said that Germanotta has handled the fame her alter ego has brought her, it can also be inferred that she wasn’t entirely ready for the life Lady Gaga brought her. The latter could be said for Kanye West as well. Since his debut album, “The College Dropout” was released in 2004, his entire career has contained controversy after controversy. His first major outburst on live TV included West saying that former President George Bush doesn’t care about black people. Eventually, the talented young rapper would be known to most as the man who interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at MTV’s VMA show in 2009 or the man who proclaimed his bankruptcy on Twitter in early 2016. This only further built up the wall of his stage persona, blurring the lines between his real life and his career. Despite being talented and driven from a young age, no person or education could have prepared West, or many other artists like himself, for the life he would eventually have. West’s biggest supporter through his career was his mother, Donda West, who helped and supported his rap career. West reciprocated the support, writing multiple songs about her; His song “Hey Mama” expressed “Hey Mama, I wanna scream so loud for you/ ‘Cause I’m so proud of you/ Let me tell you what I’m about to do ... I appreciate what you allowed for me, I just want you to be proud of me.” Donda West passed away Nov. 10, 2007, after a cosmetic surgical procedure, and to many fans, Kanye West hasn’t been the same since, blaming himself for her death. In an interview with Q Magazine in 2015, West said, “If I had never moved to L.A., she’d be alive. I don’t want to go far into it because it will bring me to tears.” Many news sources are pointing the cancellation of the Saint Pablo Tour to be triggered by the anniversary of his mother’s funeral, Nov. 20, 2007, as he had little time for a grieving process. While your average person is given time and understanding to grieve, an artist like West is expected to continue as normal. All of these variables compounded cannot be easy to handle, possibly affecting mental health, and on performers like West, it’s starting to show. While reports like this should be taken with a grain of salt, an inside source for People magazine has made the claim that, “[West] has been very paranoid and is under constant watch for his safety.” Kanye West was released from the hospital Wednesday. As difficult as it may be for a man like West, perhaps what would be best for him is time to rest and time out of the spotlight.

Mark Barron is the professor leading the very first History 481X class at Iowa State University. As a final project, the class is putting together an exhibit in collaboration with University Special Collections about Pammel Court.

Hands-on history By Matthew.Carlson @iowastatedaily.com Mark Barron is the professor leading the very first History 481X class at Iowa State University. The class looks at case studies, theories and methods of public history. As a final project, the class is putting together an exhibit in collaboration with University Special Collections about Pammel Court. For those who don’t know, Pammel Court was an assembly of housing units on the north side of campus used to house married residents of Iowa State from 1946 until it was opened to singles in 1978. It was even once rated as one of the largest and best equipped student housing housing projects in the midwest. Students in the class did not know much, if anything, about Pammel and had to do plenty of research for the exhibit. “I used to live in Freddy Court and I didn’t know Pammel Court used to be a thing right by there,” said Dacey Messinger, sophomore in history. In 1946, the end of World War II brought in 1,100 married students to campus. The “short term” solution was Pammel Court. Every few years there were plans to demolish the halls and build new ones, yet it never seemed to happen.

Barron reached out to Special Collections and University Archives with the idea of them helping the class to create an exhibit showcasing the history of Pammel Court with the potential to showcase the students’ work. The rest as they say, is history. The class’ goal for the project is to educate library-goers about Pammel Court and it’s connection to Iowa State and to preserve these stories over the long term. Messinger says that although other classes teach history, this class provides much more hands on experience. That is Dr. Barron’s intention. “We want to show people that these stories exists not just in a classroom,” Barron said. “We want to provide hands on opportunities for students.” The exhibit will include 6 glass cases filled with projects that have been prepared by the students. The last of which commemorates the last years of Pammel Court and what the area where Pammel once stood looks like today. The project is a big deal to the students. They get to show what history looks like in practice. “I’m excited to show all of my engineering friends what I actually do,” remarked one student who asked to remain anonymous until the unveiling. Messinger’s family is even coming

in from Kentucky to view the professional display Messinger helped put together. Petrina Jackson is the head of Special Collections and University Archives and has been assisting Dr. Barron’s class through the process of research and then presenting their new knowledge to the public. She would like students and faculty to realize what they can learn by going up to Special Collections using this exhibit. “It tells a tale from University Archives history that is in the moment, not through a classroom, Jackson said. She is excited to display the documents and photos the 481 students discovered in the archives. “You can see the uniqueness of the time, Jackson said. “[The exhibit] is about how [married students] lived in that time.” The display will show current students what life was like at a time of rapid expansion in Iowa State history. “The students are part of a lineage. It’s a very compact time in history,” Jackson said. The exhibit will reside on the fourth floor of the Parks Library, starting just outside the front door of Special Collections, making its way inside their viewing room. It will run from January 18 until the end of the spring semester.

36 in a row for ‘The Nutcracker’ By Melanie.VanHorn @iowastatedaily.com On Friday and Saturday, C.Y. Stephens will host the 36th Annual Nutcracker Ballet, featuring nearly 240 dancers of all ages from around the community. Thirty-six years ago, the Robert Thomas Dancenter of Ames put on the first large-scale production of “The Nutcracker” of its kind in central Iowa. “There weren’t really any Nutcracker ballets in the area. Des Moines didn’t do it, and many people in the area didn’t know the story,” recalled Thomas, who owns the Dancenter and serves as an artistic director for the production. The very first performance sold out, and Thomas said they “just kept trying it.” The Nutcracker tells the story of Clara, a young girl who receives a nutcracker as a gift on Christmas Eve and ends up on a fantastic journey through the magical lands of her own dreams. For Ellen Mullen, casting coordinator and dance instructor, it all starts with the audition process. “It’s hard to put into words, but the magic really starts at the audition. That’s really when the ‘season’ begins,’” Mullen said. Mullen has worked in the production since she was a student, originally performing en pointe. She recalls dancing in the Waltz of the Flowers and remembers the excitement of dancing with a partner for the first time. She has played Clara’s mother for the last eight years, and all three of her daughters have participated in past

productions. “This year is the first where none of us are participating,” Mullen said. Though her role has evolved, there’s still a lot of work to be done in order to ready the holiday classic for performance. Among the 240 dancers are many busy students, from elementary schoolers through Iowa State University students. Despite injuries, school concerts and weather, the company pulls off a stunning production each year. But it’s not without the help of many volunteers. “We’ve been pretty blessed. I’d like to shout out to all of the volunteers. Without them, we couldn’t manage backstage,” Mullen said. Thomas was with the production from the very beginning and has seen the production evolve into its current form. The first company had about a hundred dancers, all exclusively from the Dancenter. The studio spent 18 months teaching the whole company to dance en pointe with extensive support from the community. Each season, the Dancenter strives to make The Nutcracker a new and exciting performance. “Each year we re-choreograph the dances and have different people do it,” Thomas said. “A lot of the genesis of ideas come right at the auditions. So many people are involved that it always has a life of its own.” Thomas also said the production will expand each year to suit the cast, and they rarely turn people away. Many of the dances are adapted to suit different ages of dancers, and often

sections of music are added from other ballets to suit the different talents of the dancers. Danilea McKee, senior at Iowa State, has always been interested in ballet, but there weren’t any productions near her hometown in southern Iowa. “I tried out as a freshman just because I had always wanted to dance in the Nutcracker,” McKee said. Maddie Patton, a 10th grader from Nevada, has enjoyed being a part of the production for years. “My favorite part is just being with my friends, and I love being at CY Stephens, Patton said. “It’s like a holiday tradition for me.” Julia Hansen, an Ames High School senior, loves the yearly tradition of decorating their dressing rooms. Her favorite part of this year’s production is the Waltz of the Snowflakes. “We’re all in Waltz of the Snowflakes,” she said, refer-

ring to fellow dancers with her in the backstage dressing room. “It has really pretty music and real snow, and it’s just a very traditional dance.” The production is important to those who are involved every ear, but also to the rest of the community. “People say things to me all the time,” Mullen said. “They tell stories of how they always bring their families, and it’s a real family thing.” Though The Nutcracker remains a holiday staple for many families, Thomas noted that the ballet’s message is far beyond a holiday theme. “The message of The Nutcracker is to let yourself daydream, and things can happen. You can dream as large as you want, and don’t limit those dreams.” The Nutcracker will be performed at 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, and 1:30 p.m. Sunday at CY Stephens Auditorium.

‘The firsts’ didn’t reach prominence on their own

Lyn Bryant/Iowa State Daily

Columnist Felker suggests in his humor column that Iowa State should employ student miners who don’t have any work during the summer at the ISU Power Plant and compensate them by providing free tuition for summer courses and possibly a modest discount on textbooks.

Modest proposals: Send them to the mines Let mining turn lazies into productive members of society By Alex.Felker @iowastatedaily.com

f America’s 2015 undergraduate class, 65 percent of students had participated in an internship and/or co-op — a number that is expected to fall by 5 to 10 percent next year. What useful things are these remaining 30 or 40 percent doing every summer? What are they getting up to? Crime? Video games? A job unrelated to their field of study? Posh. I have something much better for them: Why not send them to the mines? Coal mining was once a decent and respectable sort of vocation. The wages could support a family, and the work was honest and good. Sure, there was black lung disease, industrial bronchitis, congestive heart failure, osteroporosia, ataxia, asthma, renal dysfunction — but these were the sorts of ailments that really built character in a young person, and, frankly, the kind of character our generation could do with a bit more of nowadays. Millennials are often branded as lazy, narcissistic, privileged individuals. They want a trophy for everything they do and they’re addicted to their cellphones. They live at home and leech off of their parents, their attention spans are too short, they smoke too much pot, they lack any kind of authentic empathy, they don’t want to un-

derstand other’s points of view and they’re downright selfish as a whole. And this is precisely why — for a few months out of the year — more of them ought to be shipped below ground. In short, I see no reason why a portion of every year’s sophomore or junior class shouldn’t be marched to the nearest coal mine upon the conclusion of May finals. Not only would this go a good way in fostering some more authentic values of hard work and grit in the student, but it would also help to temper whatever notions of entitlement and snuffiness lie unrustled in the would-be miner’s soul. It is an unfortunate reality, however, that the coal mining industry of today is but a sad derivative of what it once was; in fact, I would say that its mechanization was one of the 20th century’s greatest shames. Hundreds of thousands of American jobs vanished practically overnight, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, from 180,000 anthracite miners down to only 6,000 by 1970 (to say nothing of the innumerable jobs once required in the maintenance of the system’s infrastructure) — and all in the name of “progress.” But fear not, policy makers. Iowa State has its very own coal-burning power plant right on campus, and in the absence of any nearby operating mines, it would be my recommendation that the ISU Power Plant immediately cease any and all automated processes, and instead rely on the average second-year religious studies major’s sweat of the brow. Hand him a shovel and he will do more good work in a day than he had accomplished in the entire

previous semester. I might even suggest a few faculty members lead the students’ efforts, but only insofar as their ego needs pruning — I am not, after all, unreasonable. The benefits to this scheme are innumerable, but I will raise a select few. First, as aforementioned, the students engaged in this manual labor will most likely come out on the other side a more seasoned and honest individual; more capable, more disciplined and tougher than the average graduate of any other comparable American college. Second, the university will benefit from a 100 percent job placement rate in between academic years. There won’t be a single student out of work, a single summer term layabout or even a single day spent unproductively. What’s more, the scheme would naturally provide a sort of safety net for those unable to get an internship and might even result in some healthy competition in their pursuit — this assuming the coal-shoveling gig becomes labeled undesirable (which I would not immediately assume). And, finally, I would expect enrollment numbers for Iowa State to skyrocket after the implementation of such an intervention. What parents — being honest with themselves — do not in their heart of hearts want to see their child spend a few months out of the year shoveling coal into some hopper? And yes, the student miners would be compensated for their work. But only insomuch as free tuition for summer courses and perhaps a modest textbook discount. The university isn’t made of money, after all.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Free Iowa State campus of discrimination By Margaret LaWare Chair of University Committee on Women, Associate Professor, English This past election saw the first woman representing a major party fighting for the presidency, a situation that made visible systemic sexism. But, we also witnessed male allies standing up to distance themselves from discourses that objectify women. Further, this election employed campaign tactics that included bullying and targeting of groups based on their race, culture and religion. We have unfortunately seen examples of bigotry and hate at ISU and at other campuses across the nation. As members of the University Committee on Women and the Women’s Leadership Consortium, our role is to advocate for the needs of all women at ISU and to address policies and practices that may cause particular difficulties for women fac-

ulty, staff and students. We recognize that women may be feeling discouragement and discomfort given the discourse surrounding the election, especially women who experience intersections of oppression, Women of Color, women who identify as LBTQ, and women whose religions have been demeaned, especially Muslim and Jewish women. Students may feel especially vulnerable given their distance from family, and their concerns about overall safety on campus. Our committees recognize the significance of each and every woman on campus. We understand our diversity as our strength, and we seek to ensure that every woman feels safe, welcomed, included and is able to work and learn in an affirming environment. In the wake of a divisive election, we urge the ISU community, the majority who reject behavior that reflects bias and bigotry, to listen and to be sensitive to members of the community who have experienced attacks or silencing, or

are feeling unsafe because of their gender, race, culture, religion and/or sexual orientation. When one portion of our community is targeted, it affects us all; it undermines the fundamental values of a community of learning. As the ISU Principles of Community state: “… we must strive to overcome historical and divisive biases in our society. Therefore, we commit ourselves to create and maintain a community in which all students, staff, faculty and administrators can work together in an atmosphere free from discrimination, and to respond appropriately to all acts of discrimination.” It is time we all embodied these principles in our daily lives. If people would like to talk more about the situation for women across campus, and consider strategies to make the campus more affirming and safe for all women, we invite you to attend our next and final meeting of the semester, which will be at 11:30 Thursday, Dec. 15, in the Memorial Union.

When we think of influential people, Americans seem to be obsessed with the narrative of “the first,” especially when it comes to minority leaders: Barack Obama, the first black president; Michael Sam, the first openly gay NFL player; or Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize. While all of these milestones are certainly prominent, our obsession with naming “the first” can take away from full efforts of minority communities. As one New York Times columnist put it, “the laziest story in American journalism — about the “first X to do Y” — is told and retold.” The media, opinion leaders and society at large are all responsible for the narrative of “the first.” The JACKIE ROBINSON problem really isn’t that we recognize a “first,” but how we recognize “firsts.” Take Jackie Robinson for example. Robinson is well known for being the first black man to break baseball’s color barrier, a courageous and resilient act. It’s true, he did break the color barrier. But that barrier was broken because Brooklyn Dodgers General Manager Branch Rickey asked Robinson to join the team. “The first” in a minority group often is only given the chance to be the first because someone in a privileged group recognizes the need to do so. By creating a narrative where we idolize “the first” we fail to recognize all of the effort it took to get there. It took many men, baseball players and other leaders to get American society to the point where Rickey could ask Robinson to be the first black man to play Major League Baseball. If there hadn’t been others in the country fighting for equal rights all exerting force on the barrier keeping black men out of baseball, Robinson could not have broken through. And if there hadn’t been other people of color playing after him, there would only be a small hole in the barrier rather than being completely eliminated. A villager can rarely challenge the beliefs of a whole village alone. It takes a collective effort from an entire village — one that includes minoritized individuals and privileged individuals who want equality for all — to make a change. We have to stop obsessing over “the first” and recognize the accomplishments of many if we ever want to understand where our society is going. Hillary Clinton was named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year runner-up to President-elect Donald Trump. The story says she “made history for three decades as an advocate, a First Lady, a Senator, and a Secretary of State, but she will now be remembered as much for what she didn’t do as what she did.” To phrase Clinton’s loss in the election as “something she didn’t do” is a classic example of how “the first” narrative distracts us from achievement. Some day, a woman will be president of the United States and it wouldn’t have happened without Clinton and many others who climbed the ladder for women in politics. Just because Clinton didn’t officially “break through” the glass ceiling doesn’t mean her efforts to shatter it aren’t just as real. “The first” is someone who exemplifies the work of an entire community. We absolutely should recognize “the first,” but we can’t stop there because we won’t have the full context needed to understand the full impact of the achievement. Therefore, we should recognize the collective effort of the community surrounding “the first” and let it inspire us to keep pushing to make a positive impact in the world.

Iowa State goes ice cold in loss to Hawkeyes By Aaron.Marner @iowastatedaily.com IOWA CITY — The only thing colder than the weather on Wednesday night was the Iowa State offense. Iowa State fell to in-state rival Iowa on Wednesday night by a final score of 88-76 in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Iowa State’s “big three” of Bridget Carleton, Jadda Buckley and Seanna Johnson were about the only positives for the Cyclones, as the trio combined for 57 of Iowa State’s 76 points. The six other Cyclones who appeared in the game combined for 19 points on 6-for-23 shooting. Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly gave credit to Iowa’s defense for their tough defense, but said Iowa State missed a lot of open looks. “Sometimes this game is eerily simple,” Fennelly said. “One team made a lot of shots, the other team didn’t make anything. You can look at the stat sheet. We shot the ball 17 more times, but they made everything they looked at. In the third quarter they didn’t miss a shot.” Iowa went 8-for-8 from the floor in the third quarter, hitting all four 3-point attempts. Their lone miss in that quarter was on a free throw, but Iowa still went 4-for-5 from the line in the third quarter. Iowa State’s big three couldn’t quite get a rhythm going in the first half. The Cyclones actually won the second half 48-45, but Iowa’s first half performance was just too much to overcome. “At halftime, I think they’re 8-for-14 from the 3 and we’re 1-for-14,” Fennelly said. “There’s a couple of them that there wasn’t anybody near [Iowa State’s shooters], and we missed them. That’s the beauty of the game and the frustration of the game.” Fennelly said Iowa State shot more in Wednesday’s walkthrough than it usually does. “A lot of our kids have not played in Carver-Hawkeye before so maybe we shot all of our makes this afternoon in shootaround,” Fennelly said.

Brian Mozey/Iowa State Daily

Iowa State guard Seanna Johnson drives to the hoop on Iowa guard Ally Disterhoft on Wednesday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City.

“For me, it’s very hard,” Johnson said. “I know we talked about coming in here [to finish] 3-1 and not leaving 2-2 as seniors. As coach said, you’ve got to fight to the end and I think we did that but we did it too late. “For me, I just know it’s heartbreaking. You always wanna come into these games with the mindset that ‘I want to go home winning.’” In her first game since the Drake game on Nov. 20, Heather Bowe played just nine minutes and didn’t score for Iowa State. She’s a player who will contribute going forward as she recovers from her injury, Fennelly said. In a game where Iowa State’s supporting cast struggled, having a healthy Bowe could have made a big difference for the offense. Emily Durr, who has been a great scorer off the bench for Iowa State in recent games, scored just seven points on 2-for-10 shooting and a 1-for-6 performance from 3-point range. While Iowa State’s open shots weren’t falling, the same couldn’t be said for Iowa. Iowa State’s cold performance offensively was very

unexpected, as the Cyclones entered Wednesday night first in the nation in free-throw shooting percentage and fourth in the country in 3-point shooting percentage. “We shot the ball extremely well,” Iowa coach Lisa Bluder said. “That second quarter was good and in the third quarter an almost perfect shooting performance. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen that before.”

IOWA STATE’S BIG THREE Jadda Buckley: 21 points, 4 rebounds, 9-for-19 field goal Seanna Johnson: 18 points, 6 rebounds,

Brit Brothen plays major minutes, shows he’s capable By Connor.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com The play started out with a scrum in front of the net. Cyclone Hockey captain Chase Rey came out with the puck. He cut to the center of the ice, and passed the puck to Brit Brothen. “I took a step and found my corner,” Brothen said. “Luckily it went in.” Brothen had scored his first career Division I goal. “I felt pretty good — really relieved,” Brothen said. “It felt good to get that first one in the back of the net.” Last season, Brothen was an average, everyday Division-III Cyclone Hockey starter, but after last weekend, he can say he is firmly implanted in the Cyclones’ Division I system. Brothen played significant minutes in his first pair of games of the season as the Cyclones played Alabama. It was Cyclone Hockey’s first matchup with an unranked team at home since

Lyn Keren/Iowa State Daily

Sophomore Brit Brothen attempts to battle another player for the puck. Cyclone Hockey faced against the University of Alabama in Ames on Saturday. Brothens made his debut over the weekend, registering a goal.

October. Last season, Brothen finished with nine goals and 11 assists. Through his first two games on the top squad, Brothen already has one of each. “Last year, I think I made quite a few strides getting used to the systems and whatnot here,” Brothen said. “This year it kind of just worked in my favor, just

working hard, and it started to fall into place.” Brothen’s time on the Division III team was well spent, and assistant general manager Kevin Wey noticed. “My personal favorite defenseman on the D-III team was Brit,” Wey said. “He skates hard, he can play the body and add some offense. He’s a solid defense-

man and it’s great to see him in the lineup for two games this weekend.” Brothen met all of the coaches’ expectations during the weekend competition. His teammates noticed too. “[It was a] terrific game for [Brothen], great for him to get his first goal,” Anthony Song said. “He’s a great person, teammate

and player, and I’m glad to have him around the locker room. I’ve got nothing bad to say about him.” In fact, Song might have been the reason that Brothen was given significant minutes during the past two games. “We moved Anthony Song up to forward and that opened up a position for us to put Brit in as the seventh defenseman,” Wey said. “He more than acquitted himself. I think we had some roster decisions made this weekend.” Brothen played the set of games being paired with junior Jake Uglem, and it helped him flourish. “He works hard, makes hard plays and he’s a good locker room guy,” Uglem said. “I was just always talking to him, letting each other know where we are [because we haven’t played] with each other in a while.” Brothen will try to keep up his run on the D-I team when No. 10 Colorado visits Ames on Friday and Saturday. “He’s not going anywhere,” coach Jason Fairman said.

his best year as a Cyclone. He became the fourth player in Iowa State history to record an 1,000-yard season with his 1,018 reception yards. He also caught 69 receptions, the second most in program history. Helped by four 100-yard games in the last five games of the season, Lazard broke the school record with six 100-plus yard games in a season. Lazard isn’t satisfied with those numbers, though, as he made clear at his press conference to announce his return. “I think that we can all say I need to improve my speed a little bit, so that’s something I can kind of work on,” Lazard said. “Just straining every workout, going as hard as I can, make sure that I’m leading the team and showing them that I’m giving them all that I can.” And coach Matt Campbell believes that Lazard’s potential is still sky-high. “There’s more to come [from Lazard], honestly,” Campbell said. “I’m really excited for the future of Allen Lazard because I think great things are ahead of Allen.” Netten, who will be graduating, is the program’s all-time leading scorer. He was named to the AP All-Big 12 First Team on Monday. Fett, a senior who started his Iowa State career as a walk-on, was one of the anchors on an offensive line that lost all of its starters except one, Jake Campos.

He registered 9.5 tackles for a loss after he was named the 2015 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year just a season ago. “I think we found a home for him down there, and he seems to like it,” defensive coordinator Jon Heacock said in October. “The realty is, he’s having some success there. He made huge, huge things happened down there.” Cotton-Moya had two interceptions and one fumble recovery in 2016, and was third on the team with 73 tackles.

up and makes people come watch it and makes it electrifying. The game would be boring if both teams wasn’t talking.” Stopping Peter Jok Iowa guard Peter Jok is already off to a tremendous start on the year. After nine games, Jok is averaging nearly 24 points per game and is shooting almost 40 percent from behind the arc. If those stats don’t prove that Jok can score, these numbers might. Against Seton Hall on Nov. 17, he dropped 30 points. Against Memphis three games later, he put up 42. Against Omaha on Saturday, he had 33. “He’s a great player who can score in so many different ways,” senior guard Matt Thomas said. “He can get to the rim, he can score at all three levels and get to the free-throw line. That’s going to be a collective group effort to just try to slow him down.” Prohm said he plans on throwing several defensive fronts at the Hawkeyes, and most of them will be designed to slow Jok. “Whether it’s Naz on him, whether its Nick Babb, whether it’s Matt Thomas, we just have to continue to send different bodies and wear him down and wear him down and not get frustrated,” Prohm said. “You can’t get down on him. We just have to stick with it.” Don’t overlook Iowa’s recent woes

BRANSTAD p1 oped close trade ties with China while serving as chief executive of the Hawkeye State.” Branstad has led halfa-dozen trade missions to China dating back to 1984 during his first reign as governor. As recently as a week after the November election, Branstad was in Beijing and the Hebei province for a mission. His new post in China may prove difficult, as Trump broke with longstanding U.S. diplomatic tradition when he took a phone call from Taiwanese President Tsai Ing last week. The call risks raising tensions with China. Branstad would also need to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate, which longtime U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley said would be done “very easily.” “Governor Branstad understands China, having been there on numerous trade missions and having a friendship with President

The Hawkeyes have been off to a rough start this season. Iowa fell to Seton Hall in its third game of the season and then lost four straight games that next week. It has fallen to No. 87 in the KenPom.com rankings, and the Hawkeyes are in last place in the Big Ten standings — and the only team in the conference with a losing record. Its ratings percentage index is 229, the second worst of any team Iowa State has played this year. “We’ve played essentially 10 games if you count the scrimmage and the exhibition game,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery told the Des Moines Register after their loss to Omaha last weekend. “We haven’t defended in any of them. We have outscored people in four or five of them, but we haven’t really competed defensively like you’re going to need to with the caliber of teams on your schedule.” But the Hawkeyes aren’t in terrible shape. They’re averaging 87 points per game, and three of their losses came to teams ranked in the KenPom. com top-50. “They’re averaging 87 points a game and they’ve played a good schedule,” Prohm said. “They’ve played Notre Dame, Seton Hall, Virginia [and] Memphis. “Those four schools are all really good. [Iowa] can score, so our defense is going to have to travel over there.” Defensive improvement is something McCaffery has Xi Jinping,” Grassley said. “Iowans have chosen him for his successful track record as the chief executive, his trustworthiness and his reputation as a straight shooter. Those attributes would serve the United States very well if he’s confirmed for this position.” U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, RIowa, said Trump made an “excellent choice” with his pick of Branstad. “Having worked alongside the governor for many years, I know he will exemplify the same leadership, thoughtfulness and dedication in his role as ambassador to China on behalf of the United States as he did for the people of Iowa,” she said. Branstad’s appointment immediately knocked over political dominos in Des Moines as Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds prepares to take over as the state’s top executive. “I have been honored to be a full partner with Gov. Branstad in this administration and know that the

been focused on, too. After letting up 92 points or more in their past three losses, the Hawkeyes held Stenson to under 70 points on Monday and improved immensely on defense, McCaffery said. A strong defensive front is critical for the Hawkeyes if they are going to slow Iowa State. “I think [our defensive improvement against Stetson] has to carry into Thursday’s game, and it has to carry every game after that because it was probably the best we’ve been together, and that’s how we have to play,” McCaffery told the Cedar Rapids Gazette. “We have to be five working as one, whether that be in transition or in ballscreen defense or if we’re in our zone.” Thursday will also be Iowa State’s first true road game — other than the AdvoCare Invitational back in November. With the Cyclones teetering

on the edge of the AP Top 25, Morris said it’s important to send a message in Iowa City. A win against the Hawkeyes would be a good résumé booster. “We want to go in there and make a statement,” Morris said. “We want to set the tone and send a message not through Iowa but the country that we can do it on the road. We’re trying to go out there and beat them badly.” He isn’t going to overlook the Hawkeyes either. Sure, the Cyclones dominated Omaha on Monday — a team that Iowa lost to 98-89 just two days prior — but Morris said that didn’t matter. It is a rivalry game, after all. “It doesn’t matter what Omaha did against them,” Morris said. “Iowa is going to play good. This is their Super Bowl. This is our Super Bowl. It’s Iowa-Iowa State. I’m looking for those guys to play above their level.”

experience I’ve gained over the last six years has prepared me well for this next chapter of service to all Iowans,” she said. Ernst, who in 2014 became the first woman to serve as U.S. senator from Iowa, heaped praise on Reynolds, whose rise will now become the woman to serve as a governor. “The lieutenant governor is a tireless advocate for Iowa and travels around our great state to ensure she is hearing directly from those who know best: Iowans,” Ernst said. “Iowa has been, and will continue to be, in good hands under her leadership.” Iowa Speaker of the House Linda Upmeyer, RClear Lake, the first female state speaker, will lead another legislative cycle Republican majority in the House, along with a new Senate GOP majority and Reynolds. “Lt. Gov. Reynolds is an energetic leader with years of experience working with the Legislature,” she said.

“I look forward to continue working closely with her to make Iowa the premier place to raise a family or grow a business. Iowa Republicans continue to lead the way elevating women to public office.” Elsewhere, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey, who told the Daily in September he was having serious conversations on a run for governor, reversed course and said he would not run, instead encouraging Iowa Republicans to back Reynolds. “I encourage Iowa Republicans to unite behind Lt. Governor Reynolds, help ensure her election in 2018 and join me in working to keep Iowa red for the next generation,” Northey said. U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, also told The Hill newspaper that he spoke with Branstad on Wednesday morning, and a possible run for governor “immediately” popped into his head — although he added he was not actively planning one.

thing the president-elect proposes, such as term limits for Congress members, Kirchner said. “We saw opportunities in both presidential candidates,” Kirchner said. “Now that we have Trump I think we have a lot of opportunities.” Some of those opportunities Kirchner said were regulatory reform, immigration reform and health care reform. Kirchner said nothing will happen overnight, however. “This is going to take a long time,” Kirchner said. “Washington was designed to be slow, and these are complicated issues.”

One question Kirchner raised in his discussion was whether Trump will be able to work with Congress. “There were a lot of contentious things that were said between members of Congress and [Trump],” Kirchner said. Despite some heated moments between Trump and Congress members, Kirchner said Republicans now trust Trump to lead their party. But Congress may still not pass every-

RELATIONSHIPS

Dating advice from Tinder users By Emma.Blickensderfer @iowastatedaily.com In a world full of technology and online profiles, it can be hard to know how to go about dating in the real world. We gathered advice from Iowa State Tinder users about how to navigate through dating and relationships in today’s society. “Sometimes you’re going to fight, and that’s OK. “What really matters is the ability to make things better with each other.” -- Connor Cosgrove, freshman in prebusiness “Use smooth pick-up lines like, ‘On a scale of 1 to 10, you’re a 9. I’m the 1 that you need.’ But don’t be too serious about Tinder.” -- Andrew Arciuch, freshman in aerospace engineering “I would say to take [communication] off of Tinder as soon as possible. I think most people using Tinder feel creepy about using it.” -- Jake Behnke, freshman in pre-business

“It’s important to ask about commitment up front — if that’s what you want — because if that scares them, then it isn’t worth it for you.” -- Natalie Bretey, sophomore in finance “Don’t change who you are for a person if you aren’t going to become the person you want to be.” -- Jacquelyn Mesenbrink, junior in biology “Have a funny bio. In my opinion, that’s more entertaining than the pictures even if I don’t swipe right. Or make the pictures entertaining. “I swiped right last week on a guy with a bottle of mustard next to his head. If you have a dog, or even a picture of a dog, post that. “We love dogs.” -- Natalie Blockhus, senior in marketing

Natalie Bretey, sophomore in finance, said it’s important for Tinder users to ask for commitment up front if that is what they want. “... Because if that scares them, then it isn’t worth it for you,” she said.

“For your Tinder profile, make sure you use your correct age, have lots of pictures of yourself and don’t have a ton of group photos because that’s confusing.” -- Kallie McSperrin, junior in public relations

“Start with a cheesy pick-up line, but be original. Also, put something funny in your bio, don’t just talk about how cool you are. You’re on Tinder. You’re not cool.” -- Keely O’Neal, junior in journalism and mass communication

“There are three things that make a good relationship: you have to have trust, you have to be open to doing things but also respectful of your partner’s limits [and] you have to be able to make each other laugh.” -- O’Neal

Pets provide more than friendship to owners By Andrea.Dahl @iowastatedaily.com If you’ve ever been to Barks at Parks during Dead Week, you know the effect puppies have on college students. Lines often spilling out the door, there is a powerful connection that surfaces on every student’s countenance when they stare in the face of man’s best friend. Something about animals undeniably pulls at our heartstrings and makes the darkness of this world seem a little more bearable. Carolyn Cutrona, professor and department chair in psychology, said animals can have a significant psychological effect on humans. “People who live alone are less lonely if they have a pet,” Cutrona said. “Pets can make a very big difference in people’s lives.” The relationship between pets and their owners often exists as a deeper bond than just a human and an animal. In many cases, pets become a cherished member of the family. “Taking care of a pet gives the day structure and gives people a purpose. People can be very emotionally attached to their pets,” Cutrona said. “They can be as important as a person.” Jocasta Osborn, senior in animal ecology, said her pets are some of the most important things in her life. With a love for reptiles, Osborn can’t help herself when it comes to getting

Pets can help people who live alone feel less lonely, and “taking care of a pet gives the day structure and gives people a purpose,” said Carolyn Cutrona, professor and department chair in psychology.

more pets. “In total, I now have 11 crested geckos, three ball pythons, three corn snakes, two betta fish, six breeding mice and, as a side project, two five-spotted hawk moths,” Osborn said. “The pet I have had the longest is one of my ball pythons, Baby. I have had her for eight years now. All the rest have been acquired over the last two years. When exactly is a bit of a blur because of how many I would get at once.” Osborn said her pets offer a needed dis-

traction from homework and life in general. She admits she likes to show them off to her friends and occasionally brings them to work on her days off to let her co-workers experience the entertainment. But Osborn said they’ve grown from a simple distraction to what she now considers her family. “I have to admit they can be a bit of a distraction because all of them are nocturnal and can make a lot of noise from falling off their climbing fixtures, but

their presence is mainly soothing to me because they give me the feeling that I am needed, like a mother almost,” Osborn said. “At first, this feeling is the reason I got the animals, but then I just enjoyed the different variety in colors and patterns that I wanted to collect them.” Osborn said she may not always know exactly how to manage each pet at first, but she gives each of them the same love and care they deserve. “But despite the large number, now I still treat them all like my little babies and talk to them a lot,” Osborn said. “I might not always know how to take care of them correctly at first, but I learn and take better care of my pets than I do myself. Proof of that is that their houses are cleaner than my room.” Even though they can’t communicate with words, pets often offer unconditional love and acceptance to their owners and can alter behaviors with a single look. Nicole Kling, freshman in diet and exercise, said she can come home after a long day and snuggle up to her corgi. “If I’m in a bad mood, I can just take a nap and cuddle with my dog, and he looks really cute,” she said. While pets can serve as distractions from homework, they can also alter behaviors, give their owners a sense of responsibility and provide an outlook free of opinions and judgment, something Cutrona said is one of the most important aspects of pets. “They are a source of self-esteem and companionship.”

Tis the Season for Consent!

Consent is Clear : It’s expressed through words and/or actions that create mutually understandable permission. “I’m not sure,” “I don’t know,” “Maybe” and similar are NOT consent. Consent is Coherent : Someone who cannot make rational, reasonable decisions because they lack the capacity to understand “who, what, when, where, why or how” of the situation cannot consent. It is the absence of alcohol, drugs, and medication. Consent is Willing : Consent obtained through psychological and emotional manipulation, coercion, and/or physical threat of violence is NOT consent. Consent is Ongoing : Consent must be granted at every step. If someone consents to one activity, they may or may not be willing to go further.
