Changing times spark pornography, relationship discussion

By Sarah.Muller @iowastatedaily.com

W

hen it comes to a sexual relationship, watching porn can sometimes raise expectations or even induce violent practices.

Bondage and submission, domination and submission, or sadism and masochism all make up the BDSM community. With the recent release of “50 Shades of Grey” — a film based off of books displaying a BDSM relationship between Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, two unlikely acquaintances — discussion has sparked on what the effects are of pornography and BDSM behaviors.

Between 64 and 68 percent of men, and 18 percent of women use pornography each week, according to Covenant Eyes, a resource dedicated to Internet accountability and filtering.

“Even back in high school, sometimes middle school, guys would talk about pornography all the time,” said Jarid, an ISU student who watches porn.

“I think for men, pornography is an accepted thing, but I think for women, it’s still a hush-hush topic.”

Jarid wished not to use his last name because of privacy concerns.

Pornography is more accessible with the increased popularity in the Internet as its primary resource. In another study done

by Internet Safety 101, an online resource, 30 percent of content on the Internet is from the pornography industry.

“I think when you have a society more open about their sexual preference or choice, that it functions better,” Jarid said. “I think people are closer because of it.”

He said he thinks because the United States has a number of various backgrounds making up the foundation of society, opinions differ on pornography. However, Jarid said he believes the conversation starts when an adolescent hits puberty.

“I think there should be sexual educa-

ISU student’s assault not the only one

By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com Because assaults such as the one involving the now-hospitalized ISU student Cale Truhlsen occur nearly every weekend, the Ames Police Department would like to add surveillance cameras to the Welch Avenue area.

“Unfortunately, things like this happen every weekend where someone does get punched and people take off and we’re left here to determine what happened without a lot of information,” said Cmdr. Jason Tuttle of the Ames Police Department.

A hole in his small intestine, a broken nose, two black eyes and possible internal bleeding behind one eye was the result of Truhlsen’s assault Feb. 8 around 1:50 a.m.

The sophomore in computer science was walking out of the 425 Welch apartment building, lagging behind a group of his friends, when he heard a group of eight or nine men on the sidewalk make a comment to a woman who was also on the sidewalk.

“It was just a random girl going down the street,” his mother Jennifer Truhlsen said. “These groups of nine guys, I don’t know if they said something to her or what, and Cale heard and he kind of intervened and said, ‘woah, woah, woah,’ something like that.”

The men, which witnesses described as white men in their 30s to early 40s dressed “as cowboys” in hats and cowboy boots, circled Truhlsen.

Jennifer said her 6-foot-9inch, 230-pound son remembers saying he was not going to fight

and shaking one of the men’s hand. The next thing he knew, he was hit from behind, a man on either side of him holding him down on the sidewalk while two others punched and kicked him.

The incident consisted of three different fights after Cale’s friends and a bystander got involved, according to witnesses.

Jennifer said one of Cale’s friends was able to pull one of the men off of Cale, “which probably saved Cale’s life,” Jennifer said.

A female witness brought Cale into the 425 apartment complex and helped him to his friend’s apartment, where Cale stayed until 6:20 a.m. when his friend called an ambulance for Cale, who was “screaming in pain,” Jennifer relayed.

Cale went into immediate emergency surgery for the hole in

his intestine that was poisoning him by leaking fluids into his body.

“In a couple of hours, he could very well have died,” Jennifer said.

“Can you imagine if those guys had gone after that girl the way they went after my son?”

After being in the hospital for nine days, Cale has lost 16 pounds, misses his friends and is worried about his grades, Jennifer said.

Though Cale’s breathing tube is now out and he was able to try real food on Tuesday, Jennifer said she is still worried about the men who attacked her son.

“It makes me think they’re preying on these college students,” Jennifer said. “I’ve received messages from ISU students who are girls that I don’t even know. They all said that my son is just really honorable in the way he defended the girl.”

Jennifer said a female witness also came forward Tuesday and said the same thing happened the weekend of Feb. 1 in the same location with a group of older men dressed similarly as the suspects in Cale’s assault.

“The men said something to her, and she told them to ‘f--- off.’

Some guys stepped in and the next thing, she looked around and there was an all-out brawl. She said they were country boys,” Jennifer said.

Tuttle said the Ames Police Department deals with multiple assaults in the Campustown area on any given weekend.

“It involves poor judgment.

It certainly doesn’t excuse what happened, but many of the cases we investigate each weekend are alcohol-related assaults,” Tuttle

University seeks input on chief diversity officer job

By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com The university community has a chance to give input about what they think the new chief diversity officer’s role should be at the university.

The committee in charge of searching for the new officer will hold a series of town hall meetings and use the feedback provided to create a job description.

The first of the meetings is from 2:15 to 3 p.m. and then again from 4:15 to 5 p.m. Wednesday in the Oak Room of the MU. The other town hall meeting is from 10:15 to 11 a.m. Thursday in the Cardinal Room of the Memorial Union. More town hall meetings will continue through April.

Anyone in the ISU community can give input as to what role the officer should fill and the responsibilities that person should have.

Since the university is creating

the position, the job description will come after the town hall meeting input.

President Steven Leath announced the chief diversity officer position in 2013 after The Jackson Consulting Firm conducted a comprehensive study of Iowa State’s diversity programs and initiatives. Included in the firm’s recommendations was creating a chief diversity officer position.

Leath appointed the chief diversity officer committee, which is

made of about 15 faculty, staff and extension personnel, in October 2014.

The position specification process is planned to last until April, with the position opening in May. From May to June, the university plans to recruit and reach out to candidates or nominees.

The first round of interviews are planned for July to August, with on-campus interviews in September and October.

Leath said he would like to have the position filled by the late fall 2015 semester or early spring 2016.

“Iowa state has done a good job in becoming a more diverse and inclusive place both in terms of the student body and the work force,” Leath said in a former Daily article. “I think we have to work harder to meet our diversity objectives maybe than some other places, we are a small college town in a rural state.”

Ames housing codes could be changed by a bill that has come to the attention of Iowa legislation. The bill will raise maximum residency limits in low-density housing zones in the city of Ames.

Michael Rowley/Iowa State Daily

New bill proposes revision of residency limits

By Katie.Titus @iowastatedaily.com The maximum residency limit in Ames may be susceptible to change if a bill hits the floor in Iowa legislature.

The current code encourages only families to live in low-density housing zones, so no more than three unrelated adults may live in a house together in those zones. In highdensity and some mediumdensity zones, residents may be allowed to live with more than three unrelated adults.

If a bill changing the maximum residency limits in low-density zones passes, Ames may need to rewrite the part of the municipal code that defines a

family.

According to the city of Ames municipal code, a family is “any number of people related by blood, marriage, adoption, guardianship or other duly-authorized custodial relationship, three unrelated people, two unrelated people and any children” related to either of them or any eight people who are residents of a family home or are handicapped.

“Having three people in a home will have the same impact on a neighborhood as a family,” said Jeff Benson, Ames city planner.

Rentals in medium density neighborhoods may have different agreements, as well as high-density zones, such as apartment complexes, which

may have as many as five people living in one unit.

“Programs such as the South Campus Area Neighborhood Association were formed because of over occupancy,” said Councilwoman Gloria Betcher.

“The idea is not to limit rentals all across Ames, but in low-density neighborhoods.”

The law for maximum residency in low-density neighborhoods was created in the 1960s and has been modified and changed multiple times. The city ran into a series of problems when the maximum residency was above three, said Bob Kindred, assistant city manager.

“These neighborhoods were not built for high numbers,” Kindred said.

“The streets are not wide

enough and there is not enough parking. People start using their back yards as parking lots.”

The city of Ames is not the only city in Iowa that regulates the occupancy. It is common among college towns in the United States and around Iowa. “ A l l r e n t a l s a r e r equired to have a rental inspection every time they create a rental property and every three to five years,” Benson said. “If someone is not meeting the code, zoning infractions may be implemented.”

A municipal infraction goes to court and the judge decides the outcome and whether or not the tenants or landlord should have to pay a fee.

The Ames Rental Association attempted to have

the law changed in 2007 when it sued the city of Ames. The case went to the Iowa Supreme Court and because Ames zoning ordinance allows for an unlimited amount of related people to live together, as well as being rationally related to keeping the neighborhood quiet, there was no offense of the equal protection clause for the Iowa or United States Constitution.

Kelli Excell, a broker/ manager at Triplett Companies in Ames, said if this new bill is worded correctly, the bill will allow the city to still enforce other rules and have the rest of the control.

If the bill were to pass, there would no longer be a limit of three unrelated people to one household

and community members have conflicting views on the matter.

“There is no reason why if you’re related you can use five bedrooms [in a house], but if you are unrelated you can only use three,” Excell said. “It is difficult to tell people they cannot move in together when there is enough room for them, or that they have to kick people out.”

If the bill were to go into effect, the Ames City Council will have to look at what impact the law’s change will have on the neighborhoods.

“The neighborhoods can’t really do more than they are doing now,” Betcher said.

The bill is to have a hearing in the spring legislature.

Disney College Program gives students magical memories

By Vanessa.Franklin @iowastatedaily.com With Mickey Mouse as your boss and the Magic Kingdom as your campus, college is bound to get a little magical.

Through the Disney College Program, students from all over the world are able to work the front line in the theme parks for a semester.

Many ISU students take this opportunity each semester and move to Orlando, Fla. for a résumé booster and memories that will last a lifetime.

Students are able to work in a variety of roles, including food and beverage, operations, retail/ sales, lodging and entertainment.

Eric D. Olson, assistant professor who worked at Disney for nearly six years, says that students interested in hospitality must experience good service before they can truly provide it.

“Disney is well known for their training and development programs, so I think students are very attracted to that,” Olson said.

“By working there, you are able to see the success for a very large company and how they deal with processes and organization.”

Students who are interested in the Disney program go through a rigorous interview process, including online and phone interviews.

Although students must work hard, they also play hard too.

College program students receive numerous benefits, including theme park admission and sneak previews of new attractions.

Program members also follow strict rules to keep with the company’s image.

Employees, called “cast members,” must follow what is called the “Disney Look,” which the program’s website describes as a “classic look that is clean, natural, polished and professional.”

Kelsey Duff, senior in marketing, said one of the most memorable experiences during her internship happened while working at Chef Mickey’s, a Disney character-themed restaurant.

“One memory I’ll never forget was we had a Make-A-Wish [Foundation] child at the restaurant on his 10th birthday,” Duff said. “They actually didn’t think he would make it past 3 years old. He wasn’t very responsive and it was really sad because we couldn’t really tell if he was aware of what was going on. But when Donald Duck came over to see him, he wiggled his feet, so we knew he was aware. Everyone was tearing up; it was definitely an eye opening experience.”

For Jessica Fox, senior in hospitality management, celebrating Thanksgiving with her fellow program members was a memory she said she’ll always cherish.

“It was hard at first because I’ve never been that far away from my family for seven months at a time,” Fox said. “But the family that you make down there helps when you’re missing your own.”

Olson said that one of his favorite Disney memories happened after watching a child let go of his balloon.

Upon going to get the child a new one, the family explained that they had let

the balloon go in memorial of their child who had recently passed.

“For them, it was that magical experience of getting away from dealing with the day-to-day reality of dealing with disease and spend time as a family and have fun and laugh,” Olson said. “I always remember that story just because of how important the Disney brand and theme park division really is for a lot of families.”

After students finish their college program, they are eligible to interview for the Disney Professional Internship, which allows students to work in an area that is more focused on their major or area of interest.

Both Duff and Fox said they hope to work at Disney after graduation. Fox is also currently applying for an internship this summer.

Duff said she is extremely grateful for her time at Disney and is appreciative of the new perspective it gave her.

“You don’t get a global perspective in Iowa,” Duff said. “While I was there, I got to meet with families from all over the world, so it really strengthened my intercultural communication.”

Although worried that working at Disney would take away from its magic, Duff said if anything, the program has just given her more appreciation for Disney.

Fox also said she was grateful for the perspective the Disney program provided her, along with new friends who live all over the world.

Fox said she would encourage students of all majors to apply for the college program if they are

interested.

“Research what you’re applying for,” Fox said. “If you know what you’re applying for and you know what it requires, it will help your interview process.

They like hearing from people who know what they want.”

Duff also encourages students to take advantage of all the program has to offer.

“It’s totally worth leaving college for just a semester,” Duff said. “I know a lot of people don’t want to leave Iowa State and miss out on what’s happening here, but if anything you make new memories while you’re down there.”

Kevin Fuller, a video game designer with more than 15 years of experience, gave a lecture about the video game industry and what students need to do to break into it onTuesday in the Sun Room of the MU. Fuller advised that ambition and networking are just as valuable as a degree in today’s industry.

Video game industry is more than just a degree

By Allison.Luety @iowastatedaily.com What does it take to make it in the video game industry? Everything and nothing.

Keith Fuller, head of Fuller Game Productions, spoke to a full room of game developing hopefuls about the ups and downs of the industry.

Fuller suggested that an education alone is no longer enough to assure professional success.

“Start forging a network today,” Fuller said. “If you want to stand out, ship something.”

The market is wide open for young developers to create games, especially popular cell phone apps.

Fuller said employers want

to see ambition to make games, even on a smaller scale.

While Fuller emphasized ambition helps young people be successful in the gaming industry, he also pointed out flaws within the industry.

“Small company, no job security. Big company, no job security,” Fuller said.

“Getting a diploma does not guarantee you a job.”

Fuller pointed out that consolidation of gaming companies creates an imbalance with too few employers and too many job hopefuls.

Fuller graduated from the University of WisconsinMilwaukee in 1997, finding employment with Raven Software in 1999. After a decade in the gaming industry, Fuller worked his way up to

“There is actually a capstone class dedicated to game design,” Koehn said.

“The first half is designing the game and the second semester is dedicated to the creation and production of the game.”

With a variety of computer graphics and game design classes, Iowa State allows students to have the opportunity to develop video games in class.

Wesley Hovick and Keegan Gerrard, both computer science majors, attended the lecture to learn more about the games industry.

“I never had the tools to think about designing video games until I attended Iowa State,” Gerrard said.

In 2010, Fuller started a consulting business, Fuller Game Production, which works to educate leaders in the gaming industry.

His company functions as a consultant to companies to help ensure better working conditions for those employed in game development.

“Where you really need to focus in the games industry is in the leadership of these companies,” Fuller said. “If the leadership of the company doesn’t value the people of the company, you’re going to have trouble.

Columnist Ward believes that the gender roles described in Disney movies serve a as a direct link to the current self-image problems that this current generation is facing. In reality, the storylines in Disney movies share no relation to how real-life stories play out.

Disney defines gender roles

By Madison.Ward @iowastatedaily.com

W

hat makes a boy a boy and a girl a girl?

Anatomy and biology aside, this is a question that really has no black and white answer because the definitions aren’t created for us, but by us.

From the first moment a baby comes into the world, he or she doesn’t know what he or she is.

But within those first few minutes, people are already teaching that child what it means to be whatever gender that baby happens to be.

Whether it be the color of the hat the doctors give the infant or the toys that loved ones bring to congratulate the parents, gender stereotypes start from birth and are only further cemented through childhood and beyond.

For the first year or so of a child’s life, the baby pretty much just exists. They don’t gain any true sense of selfawareness until about the age of 18 months, at which time they can start to refer to themselves by name.

This type of self-awareness will continue to steadily devel-

op as the child grows and this will eventually manifest itself as a gender role. Where do these gender roles come from? They naturally come from what the child is exposed to, for example, the toys they play with and the movies they watch.

Perhaps they aren’t as prevalent anymore but when I was small, Disney movies were the go-to form of visual entertainment and this would have been the late ‘90s to the early 2000’s. To provide a frame of reference, it was around this time that “Pocahontas,” “Hercules” and “Tarzan” came to the theaters.

Assuming you all have seen these movies at some point, one would probably think those are pretty common kids’ movies — nothing too graphic, but interesting enough to keep a child’s attention for a while. However, there is a part of each of these movies and most Disney films for that matter, that has actually hurt this generation more than we realized.

If you look at the main characters of, for our purposes let’s say “Hercules,” there are obvious gender stereotypes being utilized all over the place.

To Disney’s defense, these are cartoon films, so some exaggeration here and there is acceptable, but when you compare Meg to Hercules, there is an obvious and unnatural size difference along with the playup of each gender’s tendencies in the film. Meg needs to be saved by Hercules, even at one point in the film she has “weak ankles” and needs Hercules to care for her and that is symbolic to how society sees women and their role in the world.

That being said, the question can be asked if children would actually pick up on these hints at how each gender is “suppose” to be. The answer: why wouldn’t they? They may not be able to understand it in psychological terms, but these movies, along with what they see and experience in their own lives, easily and inadvertently teaches them that to be a man is to be the caretaker and the stronger gender, and to be a woman is to be helpless and dependent on men.

Clearly I haven’t been the only one to notice such stereotypes from this classic movie magnet because these concerns are part of what helped sparked Disney’s new look in its

most recent films, like “Frozen” and “Tangled.” These films were designed differently in that the women and men were drawn more similar in size to each other and the storylines were now not just about finding a man to save the princess.

So why does this matter?

That answer is simple: being exposed to countless subliminal messages telling us how we should live our lives as a child has made coming into our own life an internal and societal battle.

The girls portrayed in these movies are about as big around as my bicep, which is completely unrealistic, yet as we get older and we realize we probably won’t look like that, it becomes a struggle to accept being a real size. And the guys in these movies are relentlessly shown as being real meaty hemen, which isn’t how every guy is going to be.

I believe, without a shadow of doubt, that these subliminal messages we received early on is a direct link to this generation’s self-image issues because from the very start, they were telling us how to be, but that isn’t always how real-life stories play out.

Democrats must change foreign policy

By Michael.Glawe @iowastatedaily.com My fellow columnist Clay Rogers wrote a column that sought to prophesize the ultimate decline of the Democratic Party on Feb. 9. Mr. Rogers’ arguments were a shot in the dark, resonating, yet much less puncturing.

Accordingly, the argument leaped from one claim to another, beginning with a vast denigration of the baby boomer generation — the “birth of a litter of selfish creatures” — in an attempt to splice this caricature with the “old guard Democrats” and their physical dismantling of our “Christian nation” — it’s high time for us to review the letters and journals of the Founding Fathers, who were unequivocally Deists.

Indeed, droning on about the rising stars of the Republican Party and the contrasting dull candidates of the Democratic Party — I can agree with that assertion — leaves the writing suspect to tripe and idle talk. New politicians will rise to fill the void left by old withered candidates and the process will recycle to begin anew.

It isn’t the passing of the old guard that will trouble the Democratic Party, but substantively something else entirely. The Democratic Party has been generally correct in regards to its domestic policy approach, though one could

make a quip here and there.

What the Democrats cannot get right is their foreign policy and I believe conservatives like Rogers will perhaps agree with me here.

With the rise of the Islamic State, the traditionally non-interventionist Left — as Rogers points out, since the Vietnam era — immediately fails to recognize the greatest threat to democracy in the Middle East when it drums up the same old “anti-United States imperialism.”

Yes, empire building is wrong and the United States has been guilty of this crime before. But too many times have I heard people of millennial stock agreeing in chorused resentment that our involvement in Iraq was a failure and any effort to keep alive the hope of freedom for the Iraqi people is currently futile. This was unnecessary, bland and idle protest, which regretfully found traction while our armed forces were busy guaranteeing the welfare of a group of people newly freed from dictatorship, genocide, terrorism and gangsterism.

Outcry against the Iraq War was partly justified and partly unfair, and the whimsical and outdated arguments regarding our involvement in Iraq have been too often perpetuated by my allies on the Left. A brief analysis of the evidence will, I hope, breathe new life into the supporters of humanitarian interventionism

— now a small minority of the Democratic Party.

In 1989, for instance, Saddam Hussein’s Ba’athist government orchestrated genocide against the Kurdish people. One is quickly reminded of the attack on Halabja, which bears recognition as the largest chemical weapons attack against a civilian population in history. Hundreds of thousands of men, women and children were slaughtered under Hussein’s reign.

There are four ways in which a country loses its sovereignty, according to international law: violating the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in act and spirit; repeated invasion and/ or aggression against neighboring states; committing genocide; or hosting known international terrorists. Saddam Hussein’s regime repeatedly violated all four criteria.

Wasn’t the overthrow of Hussein’s regime, then, a deliverance? Disregarding the “possession of weapons of mass destruction” argument, Hussein repeatedly committed crimes against humanity — not crimes against country “x” or people “y,” but against ALL of us — and it was right of the United States to take him down.

In 1998, the United States Congress passed and President Bill Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act, which called for regime change in Iraq and the support of a democratic movement there. It is a testament

of our values and a guarantee of the most basic human freedoms to all inhabitants of this world.

Those who think the United States couldn’t possibly be a moral arbiter — as it is colloquially phrased, “policing the world” — are severely mistaken. After all, if the U.S. did not have the authority and the moral obligation to intervene in, say, the Rwandan genocide — in which we shamefully stood by and watched — then when and where would such an action be permitted? The Islamic State seems an equal manifestation of tyranny and barbarism.

Are we really as callous, capricious and careless as the world perceives us to be?

The Democratic Party has a long way to go before it can even begin to adopt these interventionist principles. Even the closest ones simply shrug and say, “Violence is everywhere” or “You don’t know what war is like.”

How insulting to the Iraqi people. How insulting to anyone who cringes at the mention of Adolf Hitler.

It is my hope that the Democrats will soon realize the United States has a moral duty to act in concert with other nations to purge the world of monsters like Slobodan Milosevic, the Hutu extremists, and Bashar al-Assad. Or are we to give some practitioners of genocide a free pass and others not?

As some professors begin to hold their first round of tests for the spring semester, other classrooms are beginning to open up Google Docs and start working on group projects. The group leader sends out an email, inviting other members of the group to join the Doc. Two or three group members accept the invite within the first day and the final member won’t open it until the first group meeting.

He or she will show up to that first group meeting about 10 minutes late, already showing the characteristics of “that one person” who gets by on the work of others in the group.

Does this situation sound familiar?

While some group projects can be very helpful to learning in a classroom, more times than not group characters are formed within the first five minutes of the first meeting between the parties. Leadership characteristics will form around one person who is punctual, organized and doesn’t mind doing a little more work than the rest of the group to ensure professionalism and perfection in the final project. Group projects, sometimes, sound like a pretty “easy A.” We can all divide the work of what one person could do in a four-page paper and that “assigned time outside of class for group work” will most likely be spent sleeping in or binge watching the latest season of “Friends” on Netflix.

The division of labor in a group project will never cut evenly for all members.

This fact ensures that no matter the effort put into the final result, the students will have gained an unequal — and in many cases ineffective — understanding of the assignment. Even the most optimistic assumptions about each group member’s work ethic inevitably leave room for systematic inequalities. The group project concept may be a slacker’s dream, but it is not an accurate representation of each student’s knowledge.

Carnegie Mellon University’s website states that “group projects can help students develop a host of skills that are increasingly important in the professional world,” such as learning the values of team building and understanding the frustrations that can come along with group work. While it is true that the “small world” nature of the global community is turning the workplace into an entirely collaborative experience, there is an obvious and important difference between the two settings.

Namely, if the group member fails in their responsibilities for a class project, they may be given a negative peer review, but ultimately they’ll receive a similar if not identical overall grade. However, if that person plays the same games in the workplace, they’ll find themselves looking for a new job.

The workplace setting also brings with it the implied personal interest and investment of the project’s success. This assumption does not hold true for class work. The nature of college courses — at least at the lower class levels — are not tailored to student interests, but rather to university requirements. When a student doesn’t have an interest in the work, the quality of that work will suffer and so too will the grades of their potentially more motivated classmates.

Classes that currently place significant value on group work would be better served by changing to a personal assignment format. Not only would professors gain a more accurate understanding of each student’s abilities, but the shift would also spare diligent students the anxiety of doing the work of three or four students.

FILLING HER SHOES Haylee Young begins to take role of mentor

By Kevin.Horner @iowastatedaily.com It seems as if “the new Caitlin Brown” has arrived for the ISU gymnastics team.

As the clock of Brown’s senior season begins to expire, a replacement has been sent in the form of freshman Haylee Young to assume the reigns at the helm of a developing ISU gymnastics program.

Brown, the team’s lone senior who has led the squad during the past two seasons, has been granted the opportunity to mentor a young gymnast who has displayed equal, if not greater potential as Brown did at the age of 18.

“I was really impressed with [Young’s] raw talent and how she had every event put together,” Brown said. “That’s rare to see of a freshman. Usually there’s an area that needs work, but we could really see her in all four lineups.”

Young is originally from Raleigh, N.C. and despite her successes in the Junior Olympics, she kept her hopes in check as she envisioned the impact she could produce in her rookie season. Prior to her arrival in Ames, Young questioned if she would even compete in any of the four event lineups.

ISU gymnastics coach Jay Ronayne and his gymnasts had other expectations, however.

“What [Young] is doing right now was really the expectation,” said ISU gymnastics coach Jay Ronayne.

“I really anticipated her being an all-arounder right away and being a very good all-arounder.”

Young, to the benefit of the entire team, has shattered her own anticipations for the season, executing on

FRESHMAN COMPARISON CAITLIN BROWN (2011-12 season averages) VAULT: 9.721 UNEVEN BARS: N/A (Did not compete) BALANCE BEAM: 9.673 FLOOR EXERCISE: 9.738 ALL-AROUND: N/A HAYLEE YOUNG (current season averages) VAULT: 9.818 (Team lead) UNEVEN BARS: 9.739 BALANCE BEAM: 9.618 FLOOR EXERCISE: 9.843 (Team lead) ALL-AROUND: 39.018 a level that has exceeded even the most optimistic of expectations. The West Des Moines resident currently leads and anchors both the vault and floor exercise for the Cyclones with average scores of 9.818 and 9.843, respectively.

In addition, Young has already recorded two scores of 9.900 during the first seven meets of her young collegiate career and has yet to fail to score a 9.800 or higher in at least one of her four events in each of those competitions.

“Our expectations [for Haley] were to be someone we can count on every meet and someone who should be anchoring things and that’s what she’s doing right now,” Brown said.

Brown, who has been the face of the program for the past two seasons, sat in a similar position to Young’s current situation during her freshman year.

Brown was the standout freshman learning under senior veterans Michelle Browning and Celine Paulus.

Brown, like Young, made an immediate impact on the success of the team as a whole, participating in the vault, balance beam and floor exercise in all but

one of that season’s meets.

She, once the mentee under senior leadership, has now been given the chance to play the role of mentor to a potential future AllAmerican.

“We’ve had a bit of a tradition over the past eight or so years that we have this junior or senior that is our all-around superstar and a freshman who is doing the same thing and pushing forward from the freshman class,” Ronayne said.

The combination of Brown and Young has certainly paralleled this trend in possibly an even more significant way. Although Brown played a critical part in the 2012 season, Young’s current success has perhaps proved to overshadow Brown’s freshman contributions — at least in the opinion of the Apple Valley native herself.

“I think Haylee just blows my freshman self out of the water,” Brown said.

“She’s far better off than I thought I was as a freshman and that’s super exciting for me to watch.”

Even without the additional three years of collegiate gymnastics experience, Young continues to nip at the heels of Brown.

After consistently falling

Freshman Haylee Young dismounts off of the balance beam against Oklahoma on Feb. 6. The ISU gymnastics team expects Young to replace fellow teammate and the team’s only senior Caitlin Brown.

just fractions of a point short of her all-around score in numerous meets, the freshman tied and then eclipsed her senior teammate at the Feb. 6 and Feb. 8 meets at Hilton Coliseum with scores of 39.250 and 39.325 for which she earned the award of Big 12 Newcomer of the Week.

Given the rarity of freshman talent such as that of Haylee Young, Brown has graciously ac-

cepted the role of mentor not only for Young, but also for all of the talented freshmen — guiding and molding that raw talent as they prepare for their futures as ISU gymnasts.

“We want to make sure that [the freshmen] have their heads on straight and try to grasp the overall concept of all of this early on,” Brown said. “If they figure it out early, there’s that much further they can go.”

Young’s already significant influence and remaining untapped potential, combined with Brown’s veteran mentorship, have granted the ISU gymnastics program with a seemingly very bright future as Young continues to fill in the shoes of her senior leader.

“She’s the new Caitlin Brown,” Ronayne said.

“That’s what I anticipated and that’s exactly what has happened.”

Women’s basketball rebounds

By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com Senior leaders make game-winning plays. Especially when the team is in slump. The trio of Nikki Moody, Brynn Williamson and Fallon Ellis did just that for the Cyclones against Oklahoma.

After losing five of the previous six games, the Cyclones (16-9, 7-7 Big 12) rode their seniors to an 8476 victory against the Sooners (16-9, 10-4 Big 12) who currently sit at second place in the Big 12 standings.

The team finally uncovered an offense that had been nearly dormant in recent weeks. The Cyclones hit big shots for the first time in a long time and the result was a huge win in

a game with post-season implications.

“We needed it bad,” Moody said of the game’s importance. “We knew coming into this game that we had to start a wining streak and that’s what we did.”

Regulation wasn’t enough for either of the teams to pull ahead from each other, as the first 40 minutes of the game ended in a 70-70 tie. In overtime, the Cyclones’ seniors got the job done.

Moody hit a big-time three just over two minutes left in overtime to give the Cyclones a three-point lead.

Williamson hit a difficult layup as the shot clock expired to extend the lead.

The duo lived at the free throw line down the stretch as the Sooners were

forced to foul in desperation. The Cyclones cashed in on those last minute free throws to ice the game.

When all was said in done, Williamson tied a career-high 24 points, including five made threepointers, and chipped in eight rebounds as well.

Moody pitched in 22 points of her own and Ellis scored nine points, but was huge on the glass as she puled down a career-high 14 rebounds.

“You just look at the stat sheet and the seniors won the game,” said ISU coach Bill Fennelly. “That’s what Iowa State seniors are supposed to. Game in, game out this year’s class has not done that as much as I’d like but they did tonight.”

The stellar perfor-

mance came after a game where Nikki Moody and Brynn Williamson combined to shoot only 10-38 from the field. This time around, the two seniors, two of ISU’s most vital players, redeemed themselves against Oklahoma.

While this game was undoubtedly crucial for the Cyclones conference standing position and post-season run, Fennelly warned that beating Oklahoma means nothing if the team does not follow it up with more wins in weeks to come.

“You don’t get to nine (wins in conference play) unless you start with seven, and then eight and then nine. So yeah, I think its fair to say it’s a swing game or it puts you in a better position,” Fennelly said.

Men’s team hangs on to hope of top spot in Big 12

By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com The ISU men’s basketball team’s chances of obtaining a No. 1 seed at the Big 12 tournament in March are tethered to its road fortunes, which have been ill for weeks.

The Cyclones began the season 2-0 in true road games, but own a fruitless record of 0-4 in the 39 days since edging out No. 21 West Virginia at WVU Coliseum.

The Mountaineers, following a 20-point loss to Iowa State at Hilton Coliseum, better defended their home court Monday, when they held on to defeat No. 8 Kansas by way of a Juwan Staten game-winner.

The WVU victory against Kansas left the Cyclones a game and a half

back of the Jayhawks in the race for a Big 12 regular season title with six ISU games left to play.

No. 14 Iowa State (18-6, 8-4 Big 12) can prove itself outside of Hilton and cut the KU conference lead to one game in its next matchup against No. 22 Oklahoma State (17-8, 7-6 Big 12).

“Hopefully we give ourselves a chance,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg. “That’s all you want. When you go on the road against a tough team … you want to give yourselves an opportunity at the end.”

An opportunity in the closing minutes has also eluded Iowa State lately.

The Cyclones have been unable to keep a defeat outside of Hilton to less than a double-digit margin since losing at Texas Tech by five points.

After starting last sea-

son 1-3 away from home in conference play, it was sharp-shooter Naz Long who provided the means necessary in Stillwater, Okla. to end a three-game ISU road skid against another ranked OSU squad.

Long connected on a 3-pointer with two seconds remaining in double overtime to tie the game. He also scored the team’s final two points at the free-throw line in triple overtime to help secure a one-point ISU victory.

“That was a crazy, crazy game, obviously,” Hoiberg said. “And to be able to fight back after things didn’t look so good — that’s what you have to do, especially when you go on the road. You have to find a way to make plays when things [are] maybe stacked up against you.”

Now, a year later, the Cyclones have four con-

secutive road losses stacked against them. Oklahoma State is a ranked opponent that has proven difficult to defeat at home. Except for a few names on the backs of jerseys, everything appears similar, save for two substantial differences.

First, Iowa State was not a real contender for the Big 12 crown last time it visited Gallagher-Iba Arena.

This year is different.

Second, Long is not at 100 percent physically and hasn’t been since he suffered an injury Feb. 7.

“It’s a hip-pointer. It’s basically a bruise on my bone,” Long said. “It’s all about just getting the pain down, getting as close to 100 percent as possible and just staying warm on it.”

The absence of the “Cowboy Killer” as some ISU fans have branded Long, would not just be a

blow to the starting lineup and the team’s 3-point shooting prowess.

“I don’t think it’s any secret. Naz is as good of a leader as we have on this team,” Hoiberg said. “He’s a guy that stays positive throughout the entire game.

It doesn’t matter what’s going on out there.”

Hoiberg added that he believes his players maintaining a level head in moments of adversity, something the Cyclones have failed to do on several occasions this season, will be essential to ending the team’s drought outside of Hilton.

“It’s making a play. It’s getting your guys to huddle after every play. It’s not trying to come down and get it all back at once,” Hoiberg said. “You have to go on runs. We went on some runs both against Kansas and

Oklahoma. They responded to our runs. We didn’t respond very well to theirs.”

Iowa State did respond, however, to its most recent defeat at Oklahoma with the aforementioned 20-point win against West Virginia.

Point guard Monté Morris said that not just the result, but how it was attained is a testament to a corner he believes the Cyclones have now turned.

“The games we’ve lost — we feel like a few of them we weren’t ourselves,” Morris said. “But I feel like our team is finally peaking a little bit with that game, holding West Virginia to 59 points. I feel like we actually defended and if we defend like that on the road, the sky is the limit for our team.”

Iowa State will start reaching for that limit against Oklahoma State at 8 p.m. Wednesday.

Global Food Challenge Students will be taking on world hunger at Land O’Lakes internship

By Lauren.Lee @iowastatedaily.com Although there is no single solution to solving world hunger, innovative minds and the helping hands on the job help bring more solutions to the table.

For the first time ever, Land O’Lakes Inc. is giving 10 students from five different universities a chance to be a solution this summer and come up with innovative, yet feasible ways to reduce world hunger and eliminate scarcity.

An 11-week internship directly with Land O’Lakes Inc. will ensue during the summer for both ISU students Trey Forsyth, junior in agricultural business and Olivia Reicks, junior in supply chain management.

The internship will include two weeks in Malawi, as well as trip to Washington D.C. to see the political implications, firsthand.

However, Forsyth and Reicks will work separately on their research projects with resources provided

by Land O’Lakes and mentoring provided by Carly Cummings, ISU faculty member.

The experiment put together will work closely with the agronomy and food cultures of many developing countries in Asia

and Africa. During the summer, the selected students will be researching all sides and angles to the issues involving global food insecurity and developing solutions to help local farmers and food producers with the use of sustainable agricultural resources.

In doing so, the efforts to provide nutritious food for these communities and families will convert from dream to reality.

According to Forsyth, the purpose of the Land O’Lakes program is to “challenge us to realistically come up with solutions to be implemented both globally and locally.”

Cummings, who works with Iowa States’s Agricultural Entrepreneurship Initiative as Forsyth’s university mentor for the Global Food Challenge program, provides insight, “I would highly encourage students to take advantage of any international opportunity, as it’s much cheaper through the university and students will learn more through traveling with the university.”

Raising awareness is important, but solving global food insecurity requires effort from everyone.

There is no one solution. Getting other students involved in the research

Blake Lanser/Iowa State Daily

Olivia Reicks, junior in supply chain management, will spend time developing concepts into a workable solution for the Land O’Lakes Global Food Challenge Emerging Leaders for Food Security fellowship.

projects and initiative is about “letting them know they can help by raising awareness. If [world hunger] were easy, it would already be solved,” Reicks said. It requires effort, the collaboration of different skill sets, as well as perspectives.

food banks and programs to help “be the change.”

In order to help change the world, Forsyth noted that joining the conversation and understanding the issues is the first step.

“Understanding the issue exists, [understanding] that everything we have in life isn’t guaranteed and understanding that [it’s about] simple solutions, coming up with creative

ideas to have an impact,” Forsyth said. “I think the biggest thing is small steps leads to big advancements, building on small ideas to build cooperatively. Just recognizing that there is a problem is not going to change anything. It’s projects like this, educating students and getting them passionate about the issues, that’s really going to make a difference.”

Group projects develop problem-solving, teamwork skills

By Rachel.Geronimo @iowastatedaily.com College is a lifetime experience for most individuals in their educational years. Students are able to gain key skills that can develop their professional career.

Group projects in college can be stressful, but it’s one of the most essential skills that individuals experience in school.

According to cmu.edu, group projects can help students develop a host of skills that are increasingly important in the professional world.

Andrew Standley, junior in sociology, shared his belief on the benefits of gaining teamwork experience in college group projects.

“Outside of college and in almost any job, you’re going to be working with people,” Standley said. “You’re going to be collaborating, so if you can work with a group, then it’s a very important skill everyone should have, just as important as everyone should know how to work individually.”

Standley emphasized that knowing roles in the group project is an essential tool to have.

“Make sure that you know what your role is in the group and what is ex-

pected of you,” Standley said. “Make sure that everyone else knows what is expected of them and set those goals out as early as possible for any of the projects.”

Brenda Ackerman, lecturer in apparel, events and hospitality management, shared her thoughts on how working with a team will benefit a student in their future career.

“Interaction and networking are two main aspects,” Ackerman said.

“You learn to develop your

social skills, your communications and your practice in industry terminology.”

Ackerman shared that group projects will create diversity among working skills.

“Being a contributor is key,” Ackerman said. “You want to be able to give a 100 percent because your group is going to have a goal and it’s your contribution that’s going to help meet that goal.”

Emily Cowles, sophomore in public relations, believes that students

should know the people in their group to develop a professional friendship.

“This is so that you’re able to get along with them, otherwise at the end when they do the peer evaluations it’s awkward when they don’t like you,” Cowles said.

When dealing with challenging situations, Cowles suggested that individuals should try to talk with their group.

“I try to talk with my group about it,” Cowles said. “Try to work out a better plan with your group if there are conflicts to work

out.”

Although stressful, participating in group projects is such a key aspect to consider in college. S tudents need to keep a mental mind that it will help develop their professional skills in future careers.

Lancelot & Elaine got their start here.

There is multiple ways that group projects can benefit students on developing skills specific to collaborative efforts. These allow students to do activities such as: • Tackle more complex problems than they could on their own.

• Delegate roles and responsibilities.

• Share diverse perspectives.

• Pool knowledge and skills.

• Hold one another (and be held) accountable.

• Receive social support and encouragement to take risks.

• Develop new approaches to resolving differences.

• Establish a shared identity with other group members.

• Find effective peers to emulate.

• Develop their own voice and perspectives in relation to peers.

So can you.

PORN p1 tion before viewing pornography,” Jarid said. “I think it should be more available around that age where puberty hits more and [people are] being sexually active.”

Violence has a presence in pornography as well, but Jarid said he doesn’t believe it is always necessary. He said that some of the actions are done with consent, therefore it is okay, but some actions have no purpose.

“I think people who have a healthy sexual life and also view pornography, that the violence they view isn’t as effective to them,” he said.

“But I think people who get their understanding of sex or sexuality from pornography, that violence can become a major factor and it can be very negative.”

Teresa Downing-Matibag, lecturer in sociology, said there is a high use of pornography among the college population. From studying, she has learned that porn can be addictive because it triggers dopamine — a chemical in the brain that controls rewards and pleasure.

“I think that individuals [who] use pornography need to be careful about how

much they are consuming and they need their self monitor regarding whether or not their behavior is becoming compulsive to the point where it might interfere with other aspects of their lives,” Downing-Matibag said.

When it comes to romantic relationships, Downing-Matibag said porn should be discussed openly in a relationship in order for it to be healthy. Topics such as porn usage and preference should be known between the partners.

“That type of self-disclosure and honesty contributes to a healthy relationship,” Downing-Matibag said.

However, DowningMatibag said she is concerned with women’s representation in pornography.

She shared some of the results that were discussed after the studies she read.

“There are girls who have disclosed they have boyfriends who treat them very differently — almost in a dehumanizing way behind closed doors — because they are trying to re-enact what they see in pornography,” Downing-Matibag said.

As a societal norm, Downing-Matibag said she is against pornography.

“The normalization of pornography really means the normalization of the hypersexualization of women,” Downing-Matibag said.

She also said because of porn, men can have erectile dysfunction, which is becoming an increasing problem, according to Everyday Health, an online medical source.

“Their brains are becoming wired such that they can’t receive an erection unless they use pornography,” Downing-Matibag said.

Downing-Matibag and Jarid gave their opinions on the newly released movie “50 Shades of Grey.” “[‘50 Shades of Grey’] is pornography to me,” Jarid said. “That’s up there with fan fiction people make, all of those romantic novels women read even before ‘50 Shades of Grey.’”

Downing-Matibag said even the professionals in the BDSM community are expressing concern about the sexual engagement in the movie, including the amount of violence.

“The BDSM professionals that I read online were saying that they were really not wanting to have that impression of kink culture made public and they

said.

Though both Ames and ISU Police patrol the area, Tuttle said it often does little to deter fighting.

“I’ve had people when I’m working start fights right in front of me,” Tuttle said. “People knew we were there, and they’re intoxicated and their judgment was poor and they just start fighting. We break up a lot of fights before they happen while we’re on foot patrol.”

Tuttle said the Ames Police Department has hoped to put surveillance cameras in crime hot spots on Welch Avenue and surrounding streets. In cases like Cale’s, police must rely heavily on witnesses and tips they receive from those who may or may not have gotten a clear picture of the suspects.

“In this particular case, it would be beneficial because more than likely we could at least get the comings and goings of some of the people who were involved,” Tuttle said.

Ames police asked the Ames City Council in 2011 to consider putting cameras on Welch Avenue.

Though the council did not vote in their favor, Tuttle said it is still something Ames Police would like to see happen in the future.

Mayor Ann Campbell said the council members were concerned police would abuse the information they would be able to get from the surveillance cameras, but that her personal opinion was that the cameras would be a good idea.

“The chief of police at the time made a very cogent argument that this is not to watch you when you go into Jimmy Johns, but this is to help with the investigation and the protection of victims,” Campbell said. “There was a City Council member afterward that did go riding with the police during the night and I think might have voted differently on another goround.”

Jennifer said she would like to see cameras in Campustown, as well.

“Let’s put some cameras out there and stop the problem,” Jennifer said.

Anyone who has information about the suspect in Cale’s assault can call the Ames Police Department at 515-239-5133.

are really concerned about the ramifications of that,” Downing-Matibag said.

One negative Downing-Matibag said she read about was the increase of emergency room calls due to people participating in BDSM and not being safe about the practices. After questioning her own doctor about it, they confirmed it was true, even claiming it was scary for doctors who can’t sanitize and operate properly, causing the situations to be more dangerous.

The most troubling aspect about pornography to Downing-Matibag was the fact that 1 in every 5 images of porn includes a minor.

“This industry is so profitable,” Downing-Matibag said. “We’re bringing children into and doing some pretty terrible things to them.”

According to WebMD,, there are no identified criteria defining porn addiction, however, many people claim they are addicted to porn after reading articles and books.

WebMD also says that pornography can be a piece of healthy relationships.

However, if not expressed, porn habits can be toxic to a relationship.
