verybody has those moments. The moments spent looking in the mirror, squeezing that little pouch of belly fat, wishing it would disappear. The moments spent incessantly counting calories, skipping meals or over exercising to insure the daily calorie limit is not exceeded. Unfortunately, for some people, there comes a point when it goes too far.
GSB looks into new name

helping Iowa State install a chief diversity officer. He went on to explain how The Spelman and Johnson Group and the search committee will be having regular meetings with the goal of getting community input on the new position. After a few minutes of outlining the information on the job search, audience members had a chance to ask questions. Joy Busch, senior in psychology, asked what Hall meant when he said “community.” She wondered if he meant only ISU faculty and students or if
The Government of the Student Body passed an amendment that would potentially change the name of its organization. The proposal will be put to a vote by the student body in the coming elections to make a final decision on this matter. The change will not take effect until the end of the current term. Hillary Kletscher, GSB president, said the plan has been in motion for several months and will help make several improvements from a public relations standpoint. Kletscher said this would be an opportunity to better connect with the students. Several senators pointed out the majority of the students did not know what GSB was, or what it did for the ISU student body. “Our name is very different,” Kletscher said. “They know what student government is but not GSB. Students relate in the conversations better to Student Government than to GSB.” Speaker Gabe Walsh agreed that GSB needed a rebranding because he said students are not receptive of GSB, as evidenced by the involvement of the student body with an 8 percent voter turnout in GSB elections. “I usually say ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it,’ but I would say the system is a bit broken,” Walsh said. “Maybe this won’t affect it, but sitting and doing nothing isn’t what we should be doing.” Sen. Richard Hartnett said GSB should not change the name, but instead do things that will bring in more senators and students into the GSB chamber. Sen. Danielle Nygard agreed and said the rebrand will not solve GSB’s public relations issues. Caitlin Deaver, director of visual media, said the rebrand would eliminate an unnecessary obstacle and make the name of GSB change to Student Government. “It’s putting the student before the government,” Deaver said. “It’s a small change, but it’s a big change that will really impact people.” The amendment was voted on and passed. The final decision will be voted on by the student body during GSB elections. GSB also voted on a bill that would not require the vice president to chair the weekly Senate meetings. The proposal failed in a majority vote. In the past, the GSB vice president has been required to oversee the meetings. The new amendment would allow the vice president to designate a senator to chair the meetings. Walsh said the vice president has chaired the meetings to break any ties in the vote on senate debates. Sen. Abbie Lang said she would not want a vice president to vote on a tie-breaker in a debate if he or she had not been participating in the debate earlier. Kletscher, who was GSB vice president last year, shared her perspective on the position. “I did see it as a valuable growth opportunity,” Kletscher said. “However, it seems that their time is going to meetings instead of initiative. That’s not

University community provides input on new role of chief diversity officer By Adam.Sodders @iowastatedaily.com The goal of making Iowa State University more diverse starts with the search for a new inaugural position on campus: the chief diversity officer. This was the emphasis of the town hall-style meeting that took place Wednesday in the Oak Room of the Memorial Union. The university announced its search for a chief diversity officer in 2013 after the Jackson Consulting Firm conducted a study of the university’s diversity programs and initiatives. In Oc-
tober of 2014, President Steven Leath appointed the chief diversity officer search committee, which is made up of ISU faculty, staff and students. Mark Hall, senior associate at The Spelman and Johnson Group, is working with the search committee. The committee’s goal is to create and fill the new position of chief diversity officer at Iowa State. One of the 12 members of the chief diversity office search committee, Keith Bystrom, who is also a member of University Counsel, explained how the committee was composed of several different people from a
variety of positions at Iowa State. The committee first met in October 2014, Bystrom said. He said the process of defining and filling a new position takes time. He went on to explain that during those first few months of the search, “the committee has mostly been deciding how to proceed.” During the meeting, Hall said The Spelman and Johnson Group and the search committee will “spend the next couple months looking for a person to fill the position.” He also said The Spelman and Johnson Group was picked out of three or four firms that were interested in

‘Evolve’ review Courtesty of John Pappajohn Center
John Pappajohn Logo Design has been extended For the 10th year in a row, the John Pappajohn Center is holding its Iowa Entrepreneurial Venture competition. According to the John Pappajohn Center, the competition serves to “give small businesses and entrepreneurs the opportunity and motivation to develop a systematic business plan that works for their individual needs.” This year, in honor of the 10th anniversary of the event, the center is holding another unique competition — a logo design competition. Students attending Drake, Iowa State, the
University of Iowa, the University of Northern Iowa or North Iowa Area Community College were to create two logos for the competition. The winner of the competition will receive $500 cash as a prize. The first was a logo for the John Pappajohn Iowa Entrepreneurial Venture Competition with a banner saying “10th Anniversary.” The second logo was to be the same as the first, but without the banner, so the logo could be used for a variety of purposes. “The new logo competition is not only a milestone for the John Pappajohn Center, but it’s also a great opportunity for students,” said Judi Eyles, associate director for the

Sigma Lambda Beta gives voice to men about sexual assault By Sarah.Muller @iowastatedaily.com The men of Sigma Lambda Beta are calling on the male community to help combat sexual assault. The chapter presented “The Next Generation of Manhood” to a room full of booming conversation in Carver Hall Wednesday night. “There are significantly less males involved in sexual assault prevention work and I really want to increase that,” said Bobby Dennis, prevention specialist at Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support. “If half the population isn’t that involved, we aren’t going to do anything.” After hearing the conversation about sexual assault across campus and through the media, Joel Ibarra, senior in civil engineering and vice president of Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, knew he had to step up and take part. After Sigma Lambda Beta worked with ACCESS
for a few years, the fraternity was able to make connections to host an event. “I’m always really impressed by a fraternity that takes steps to end sexual violence, or do anything that uses their power for good,” Dennis said. While Ibarra personally hasn’t been a victim of sexual assault, he said he believes a lot of people are scared to move forward. “I believe as a male, I have privilege that I don’t have to walk around with my keys in my hand, but I believe that a lot of females don’t have that privilege,” Ibarra said. “I kind of want to step up and engage males in our community, especially the ISU campus to do something about it.” As told in Dennis’ presentation, during the last few semesters, reports of sexual assaults have increased at Iowa State, creating a need for the conversation. Dennis’ job is to increase this discussion amongs males about sexual violence. “The more that everybody has that ability to talk to each other when

it comes to the attitudes and beliefs that negatively impact sexual violence, the more we’ll be able to prevent sexual violence,” Dennis said. A moment of silence came during the presentation when Dennis began to talk about bystander intervention and the effectiveness of that strategy. “It hurts me when I see somebody that was trying to make some positive sense and stop events from happening and really do
their part,” Dennis said referring to Cale Truhlsen, an ISU student who was assaulted on Welch Avenue. “It hurts me to see how it came back on him.” With this, Dennis expressed the importance not to generalize or stereotype groups or genders. “A vast majority of males aren’t violent,” Dennis said. “A vast majority of males aren’t okay with this going on and a vast majority of males want it to stop.” Ibarra said he has
learned to be aware of what is going on around him. “Just identifying what sexual assault is, like the sex jokes,” Ibarra said. “That is something that I can confess I might have said something in the past, but I know that is something bad and I can point it out to other people, but I don’t personally do myself.” Dennis hopes men will take away ownership in the capacity to intervene, to prevent sexual violence and to call out people when
they hear negative comments. While the event was focused on men, women did attend and engage in the discussion. “I think that women need to take away from this, let’s really think about males as alias,” Dennis said. “Especially women in the professional world, the reality of men at work and how I engage at work. How do we talk to close males in our lives to help them get involved?”
Iowa lawmakers react to Obama’s war request By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com As the United States continues its work to “degrade, and ultimately destroy” ISIS, President Obama has sent a formal request to Congress for an Authorization for the Use of Military Force against the Islamic terror group. The request could lead to the first war powers vote in Congress in 13 years, even as the Obama administration says it has the power to continue airstrikes under the 2001 authorization for the Global War on Terror. Lawmakers across the country have differing opinions on the new authorization, with some saying language is too vague, while others are concerned about another extended war. “Given the duration of the military involvement, the president’s decision to come to Congress is prudent,” said U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. The U.S. has been conducting airstrikes along with allies in the region since September. “I have always said that the president needed to ask Congress for an AUMF regarding the use of military force against ISIS,” said U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa. “I am hopeful that his request will lead to a long-overdue and robust debate in Congress as to the most effective course of action to deal with the threats to America posed by ISIS.” An NBC News/Marist Poll from last week showed that a majority of Americans wanted their law maker to support the new authorization. A total of 54 percent
of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, 60 percent, Republicans, 52 percent and independents, 51 percent, want their representative in Congress to vote in favor of the measure. Just 32 percent want Congress to vote against a new authorization. The remainder of Americans are undecided or have no opinion. “The Congress has a critical role to play in foreign policy,” said U.S. Rep. David Young, R-Iowa. “House and Senate committees will begin hearings and rigorous oversight on the president’s request and I look forward to a full debate. I also look forward to listening to Iowans as they share their thoughts and views.” While some specific language may be up to interpretation, the new AUMF would allow American intervention for three years, most of which the administration wants done from the air. Although, it would also allow limited special force operations on the ground. The new authorization would repeal the 2002 authorization for the war in Iraq, passed under President Bush. While lawmakers seem to agree that Congress should play an important role in debating war, congressional members from Iowa seem to be questioning the AUMF being proposed. “I’m skeptical of giving the president additional authority in this situation without a clear definition of the mission and a clear strategy for success,” Grassley said, signaling he may be a “no” vote with the cur-
rent language. Loebsack and other lawmakers have voiced concern over the possibility of ground troops if the new authorization passes. “While it is clear that a multi-pronged approach on the part of the U.S. is needed, I continue to have reservations about the efficacy of U.S. ground troops in the region and will continue to need to see a concerted military effort by America’s allies from the area and beyond,” Loebsack said. “Finally, under no circumstances should an AUMF allow for an openended commitment of American ground forces,” Loebsack added. U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, is the first female veteran to serve in Congress and is also a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, which will hold hearings about the AUMF. “This is a very important decision and is worthy of thoughtful, deliberate consideration and debate,” Ernst said. “Our mission is clear. We need a serious bipartisan solution to destroy ISIS and those radicalized by them.” As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Ernst will be able to question administration officials in hearings. Even with differences in opinion, Congress can expect a lengthy debate in the coming weeks and months about the new authorization. “I look forward to continuing to discuss the president’s proposal and the most effective and efficient path forward with my colleagues and military leaders in the time ahead,” Ernst said.

Dr. Tom Johnson, graduate from Iowa State University, is the new director of hospital operations at the Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center. Johnson began working as director Feb. 9.
Veterinary Medicine receives new director By Dan.Atwood @iowastatedaily.com The new director of the Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center has known he wanted the job since he was 13 years old. Dr. Tom Johnson became the new director of hospital operations at the Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center on Feb. 9. He said the new position is the ideal way to have an impact on the future of veterinary medicine as a whole, and that has been his primary goal throughout his career. Johnson, an ISU graduate, said his passion for veterinary medicine began one winter while working on his grandfather’s farm. When Johnson was a boy, a veterinarian walked about a quarter of a mile in a blizzard to care for a sick calf that Johnson and his grandfather were raising. “I was so impressed with the dedication to the
profession, and that’s what really swayed me,” Johnson said. After starting a veterinary clinic in his hometown of Spencer, Iowa, and practicing there for 27 years, Johnson worked as the executive director of the Iowa Veterinary Medical Association. He said his new position at Iowa State is significant because it allows him to impact the future of veterinary medicine. “We have to produce what we call in the industry ‘practice-ready veterinarians’ that are not only confident and hard-working, but are also good citizens. I really stress that,” Johnson said. Lisa Nolan, dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine, said Johnson’s experience makes him the ideal person for the job. “Dr. Johnson is quite amazing, really, in that he has 27 years of experience practicing and about a
dozen in the Iowa Veterinary Medical Association,” Nolan said. “And that is an organization in which most of the state’s veterinarians are involved in.” Johnson said the biggest change at the College of Veterinary Medicine since he attended is the facilities. He said he is excited about what the college is capable of achieving while using them. “It’s absolutely an amazing facility that, thanks to the state legislature and a lot of private donations, we have stateof-the-art equipment that lets us do some amazing things,” Johnson said. Nolan said Johnson’s enthusiasm for his job is one of the primary reasons he was selected during the national search to fill the position. “I don’t think you can talk to Dr. Johnson for very long without knowing that he loves this college,” Nolan said.

Graduate program prepares students for faculty careers
By Emily.Stearney @iowastatedaily.com
Planning to enter the workforce as a professor can be extremely difficult without knowing what to expect. Deciding which field to go into, preparing a résumé and having the right work experience can be a long process. Luckily, Iowa State offers a program for graduate students that helps with just that. The Preparing Future Faculty program has been running since 2002 to help graduate students find their fit in the world of academia. Karen Bovenmyer, program coordinator of PFF, has been involved with the program since its beginning. The program consists of four classes taken during the course of a graduate student’s time at Iowa State. The program is open to students working toward their master’s or doctoral degree, as well as postdoctoral scholars. “It’s for people who want to become profes-
AWARENESS p1 Because of these concerns as they relate to college students, the Eating Disorder Coalition of Iowa, and the ISU Body Image and Eating Disorder Awareness group are hosting National Eating Disorders Awareness Week at Iowa State. Students can participate in National Eating Disorders Awareness Week activities on campus from Feb. 19 to 27 in efforts to spread awareness and combat eating disorders within the ISU community. “One of our primary goals this year is to reach more of the male Iowa State students,” said Michelle Roling, president of the Eating Disorder Coalition of Iowa and adviser of ISU Body Image and Eating Disorder Awareness (BIEDA). “Eating disorders have traditionally been thought of as a female struggle, which is not true.” Roling said 1 of 10 college students have an eating disorder and Iowa State has more than 3,500 students actively impacted. The first event kicks off at 7 p.m. Feb. 19 in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union with headliner Brian Cuban, who will present “Shattered Image: Eating Disorders and Body Dysmorphic Disorder." “The stigma that eating disorders only affect women exists even though an estimated 10 million males are suffering from eating disorders in the U.S.,” said Rachel Dalton, sophomore
sors,” Bovenmyer said. “The first class that PFF students have is we invite faculty members from other universities and colleges to come to Iowa State and talk to our students about what life is like as faculty at their school.” The first class taken is a one-credit course in the fall, which meets every other week and is designed to expose graduate students to the faculty experience. “Some of the students that come in have never seen anything other than a research-intensive institution,” said Holly Bender, associate director of the program. Speakers come in from small private schools, religiously-affiliated schools, highly-selective schools, community colleges and others to talk about their different experiences. “We get the whole spectrum,” Bender said. The students prepare all their job materials during spring semester. “They’ll emerge with a really well-thought out and highly-reviewed vita,
cover letter, to apply for the job, teaching portfolio, with a teaching philosophy and sample assignments, etcetera,” Bender said. The remaining courses include a teaching practicum and a project-oriented practicum. The teaching practicum gets students to work in the field and gain experience, bringing them to the top of the job application pile. “The other one we have is the project-oriented practicum,” Bender said. “You could write a manuscript or a grant, there’s a number of things you could do to fill out your vita and also give you an experience that will make you more valuable to the job market.” In addition to the courses, each PFF student has a mentor they will meet twice a month to review their materials and lend a helping hand to their progress. Last year, 60 people were accepted into the program after a redesign of PFF allowed for a higher acceptance rate.
Sara Marcketti, associate director of apparel, events and hospitality management, was accepted into PFF in 2003 and is now employed by Iowa State. “It’s an incredible program because it lets you see different avenues of faculty life,” Marcketti said. Marcketti received her Ph.D. from Iowa State and was employed as a lecturer immediately afterward. “Having that level of leadership for graduate preparation really says a lot about the university,” Marcketti said. Applications require students to submit a letter of recommendation by a tenure-track professor and a set of questions to answer. Applications for the Preparing Future Faculty program are due Monday and can be found on the CELT website. “The Preparing Future Faculty Program is a program that truly exists and enjoys helping grad students with career prep,” Bovenmyer said.
in dietetics and co-president of BIEDA. “We hope that Brian's presentation helps us to take another step toward one of our club's goals: to destigmatize eating disorders while raising awareness.” Body dysmorphic disorder is a chronic mental illness where a person cannot stop thinking about a flaw in their appearance, causing them to overly obsess about fixing this perceived flaw on his or her body that is either minor or completely imaginary, according to the Mayo Clinic. After his 27-year-long struggle with body dysmorphic disorder, eating disorders and drug addiction — all of which almost caused him to end his life at 45 years old — Cuban has restored himself and dedicated his life to helping others do the same. “I think it’s incumbent upon us to take the responsibility to be empathetic to their [those with any kind of disorder] suffering, so they know they’re not alone,” Cuban said on his website. “Whether it’s alcoholism, depression, addiction, eating disorders because from my personal experience, that was the first step for me to real recovery, to know I wasn’t alone.” Roling said she predicts students will be a little surprised by Cuban’s presentation because his life so clearly demonstrates how cross addiction can happen from trying to remain a certain thinness or trying to obtain it. According to the Na-
tional Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), “largescale surveys concluded that male body image concerns have dramatically increased during the past three decades from 15 percent to 43 percent of men being dissatisfied with their bodies.” The increase in men dissatisfied with their bodies is partly because, like women, men are also frequently exposed to society’s expectations of maintaining a fit physique. “In the quest to have the ideal body, it’s pretty easy to get addicted to other things,” Roling said. “It’s easy to get addicted to some form of street drug that has side effects of weight loss or addicted to steroids for the purpose of obtaining a buff look.” NEDA states, “[t]hese portrayals present an extremely, and largely unattainable, muscular ideal male body type, which is equivalent to the unattainable thin female ideal perpetuated by Barbie dolls.” Both Roling and BIEDA have said they are excited for the upcoming week. Along with the excitement comes hope that students will learn to seek help immediately if they are struggling with any disorder — not just eating. “While one aspect of our club is raising awareness for those struggling with eating disorders, we also focus on promoting self-love and acceptance,” Dalton said. “Many people have insecurities, and at these events, we hope to
relay a message that encourages participants to embrace and celebrate their imperfections.” BIEDA has been an organization at Iowa State for three years and continues to make positive impacts on the ISU community by having self-love activities around campus, such as its latest, ‘Be Your Own Valentine,’ which took place the Friday before Valentine’s Day weekend. “We grabbed a lot of people's attention with our free Dove candies famous for their positive quotes and offered them a heart shaped valentine saying 'I love my blank' and gave them the chance to fill in the blank,” Dalton said. BIEDA has plans in the fall to hold its very own 5K with hopes to raise awareness and continue to grow as an organization at Iowa State. If you need to seek help or want more information, visit ISU Student Services, edciowa.org or the ISU BIEDA Facebook page. For those wishing to seek help on campus, visit ISU Student Counseling Services from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Walk-in appointments for new services are available from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to noon Friday. “The sooner you reach out for support, the greater your chances are of longterm sustained recovery,” Roling said. “Regardless of how long you’ve struggle with the disorder, it's never too late to start recovery."

Columnist Woods believes sharing multiple relationships while trying to find that special someone is OK, but it’s unnecessary to have intimate encounters with each one.
FINDING YOUR ONE LOVE Love for ‘the one’ can be reduced by promiscuity before marriage By Zoe.Woods @iowastatedaily.com
I
n life there will be a time when some of us will choose to settle down with the person we love. The person will be someone we want to spend the rest of our lives with and conquer the hardships and challenges that will inevitably arise. That person is traditionally bound to you through a ceremony. Marriage is a serious commitment made between you and your spouse. It’s a contract, if you will. You promise to cherish that person for as long as you live, to share in triumphs as well as in grief. In this marriage, you devote all of yourself to your significant other. This devotion is the reason why being pure before marriage is terribly important. Yet, the idea of having only one partner before committing to just one may not sound appealing to some. However, there is an emotional determent to being promiscuous before tying the knot. The concept of sex is not casual. It is an act that seals a bond between two people. Sex is an emotional connection where you strip yourself of all your walls and allow another person to share in your deep-
est privacies. Considering sex a nonchalant rendezvous demeans sex’s meaning and what it is supposed to accomplish. The bond that sex creates loses its value the more times it is done. The more partners you have, the more of yourself you leave behind. There is then less you have to offer the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. As society has evolved, the way we decide to love and how we accomplish that love has changed. Humans have determined many names for how we love. The ideas that we can have multiple partners or have affairs or get divorces are all accepted. Not only is sex deemed casual, but marriage is deemed obsolete. The idea that there are plenty of ways to love could sound appealing to those looking to experiment. Psychologists like to put names to the different forms of love that we have come to recognize. For example, polyamory — a form of love with multiple partners — is a practice that we have started to acknowledge in society. Polyamory is a relationship philosophy that recognizes “people’s capacity to share and multiply their love in honest and consen-
sual ways.” Some authors have suggested that polyamory might be a broadly feminist way of conducting relationships, empowering women to move away from the oppressive regime of compulsory heterosexual monogamy (Ritchie, Ani and Barker, Meg (2005)). The issue I see with this form of love is the lack of fulfillment. Something is missing. The idea that you have to share your intimate self with more than one person is incomprehensible to me. It certainly doesn’t seem to be a form of love that could be kept up for a long period of time. The natural emotions, like jealousy, that humans experience are unavoidable. There would more than likely come a time when the facade could not be held in place. Personally, the feeling of always searching for something, never being satisfied with only one person and having to keep up with multiple relationships seems exhausting. However, there was a point in my life — as I’m sure many others have experienced — when I considered the notion of having multiple sexual relationships before I finally settled down with my one and only. The question I asked myself was, “how could I be
sure that I would be happy with this one person sexually for the rest of my life?” I entertained that idea for a time, until I came to the conclusion that when I finally meet the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, the intimacies won’t matter. Or, at least, the one I choose to be with forever will be more than satisfactory in that department. And so, waiting for that one person would be worth it. “You only need one man to love you. But him to love you free like a wildfire, crazy like the moon, always like tomorrow, sudden like an inhale and overcoming like the tides. Only one man and all of this,” said C. Joybell C. Because there is a significant importance in building a strong relationship and taking the time to find that perfect someone as you journey down the path known as life, there are other people you will meet along the way, but intimate encounters aren’t necessary to get to know them. I’m not saying that you can’t have multiple relationships while you are trying to figure life out and find that special someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. It’s the sexual part of those initial relationships that can be done away with.
U.S. continues to mishandle Middle East By Clay.Rogers @iowastatedaily.com
O
nce upon a time, Theodore Roosevelt, who was the assistant secretary of the Navy, went for a stroll with Rudyard Kipling. They began to debate Britain’s struggle with the jihadists of Sudan. Roosevelt eventually told the poet to, “either govern, or get out!” Wise words. I wish those clamoring for “Iraq War III” would heed them. Isn’t it clear by now that we have no idea what we’re doing in the Middle East? The Iraq War was the most shameful endeavor a modern American government has ever undertaken. We invaded a country that had not attacked us and did not want to go to war with us. Every excuse given for the invasion turned out to be false. In the rubble of our victor, a new and more sinister enemy emerged. There would certainly be no ISIS in Iraq if Saddam Hussein were still in power. Our ill-fated expedition set the horrors of today in motion. Our vainglorious leaders blunder hopelessly, like Don Quixote, still believing themselves to be heroes. It’s clear to the world that Barack Obama has absolutely no grasp on the situation. During the last campaign,
Obama drew a “red line.” He threatened to attack the Assad regime if chemical weapons were used against the Syrian rebels. Eventually, chemical weapons were used. When Britain voted not to take part in the intervention Obama became timid. The president covered his retreat by asking Congress for permission to strike — something he did not do in the Libyan intervention. Our alleged enemy Vladimir Putin came to the rescue, negotiating a deal with Assad and averting the crisis. The bulk of these rebels, which Obama was so eager to aid, now calls itself the “Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.” Bashar al-Assad’s government is now the principal bulwark against this terrorist state. Who would care now if Assad dropped chemical weapons on the rebels? We barely skidded by a disaster of monumental proportions, but that did not stop Obama from careening right into another. When the war spilled into Iraq, the Iraqi Army displayed cowardice not seen since 1940. Terrorists in Toyota pick-up trucks routed an organized, well-equipped, American-funded, modern army. With Iraq appearing to be on the verge of collapse, Obama frantically began or-
dering airstrikes. Some would say that we have a responsibility to defend Iraq, since we are responsible for destabilizing it. On the other hand, are we to bind ourselves to that country forever? Obama has shown he isn’t serious about defeating ISIS, so perhaps it’s time to leave. The air campaign against ISIS is purely a containment strategy. Obama’s war effort has been completely dictated by politics. A ground campaign would cost him approval ratings, so there will be no ground campaign. The only mercy in war is a swift victory. With Obama as war leader, there will be no victory, and certainly no mercy. The commander in chief showed his resolve at the National Prayer Breakfast. The teleprompter speech read as follows, “And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ.” This is probably one of the strangest things ever said by a wartime president. What if Franklin Roosevelt had said something similar in 1943? What if FDR had
told the Jews not to get on a high horse because 5000 years ago they massacred Jericho? Thousands of Christians have been driven from their homes, their churches turned to mosques, the women raped, their children enslaved and the message from the president of the United States is, “get off your high horse.” The president is also curiously reluctant to use the word “Islam” in reference to ISIS. His press secretary is constantly doing verbal gymnastics to avoid saying the word. A war cannot be fought with political correctness. I will reiterate, if we aren’t serious about fighting ISIS, let’s get the hell out. I suspect ISIS will still be around in 2016. Obama is intent on dumping the problem on his successor. Instead of making real policy decisions, Obama is busy making impossible declarations. He’ll raise the minimum wage, tax the rich, make college free and do all this while he rains missiles down in a war he does not intend to win. Recently, ISIS released a video showing the beheading of 21 Coptic Christians. There will be many more martyrs in the coming months. My only wish is that there will be no more American martyrs in this never-ending war.
ISU students need help in order to carry out ‘It’s On Us’ Some would argue that the hardest part of starting a movement of change is the beginning. As we’ve progressed through the years, the charge to end sexual assaults, both on campus and in society, has undergone a transformation that has brought all of the right kinds of awareness to a violence that hinders our society today. Even more recently, the “It’s On Us” campaign has blanketed campuses across the nation, including Iowa State. It was Cale Truhlsen who stepped up when a group of men began harassing a woman who Truhlsen had no relationship with on Feb. 8. He intervened like all of the posters, campaigns and videos we see asked him to. As a result of his human decency, he was hospitalized with a hole in his intestines, a broken nose and two eyes that were swollen shut. It wasn’t the first kind of cowardly attack on a student or Ames resident in the Campustown area. And with the way things are now, it won’t be the last. Truhlsen is the kind of male role model the ISU, Ames and American society needs to see. Regardless of the outcome, when “it was on him,” he made the right move. His mother, Jennifer Truhlsen, made an alarming and sobering comment when talking about her son’s assault in a previous interview with the Daily. She said, “Can you imagine if those guys had gone after that girl the way they went after my son?” Maybe Truhlsen was in the right place at the right time with the wrong group of people. Recognizing the situation and acting on it was the right thing to do, but unfortunately for Truhlsen, his actions caused him to be intensely beaten in the middle of the 400 block of Welch Avenue. Around bar closing hours, numerous intoxicated people exit the establishments in the heavily populated Welch Avenue area. At a time when assaults, public intoxication and numerous other crimes are at their peak, there wasn’t any type of security measure around to help catch the men who viciously attacked Truhlsen. What the men did to Truhlsen is a crime. Ames Police patrol the area regularly but not having any type of security camera to help deter crime or protect Truhlsen, his friends or the woman he helped that night feel safe, should be a crime in itself. Ames police said it has hoped to install security cameras in high traffic areas of Campustown. But thanks to the Ames City Council, that hope will remain stagnant. The Council voted down the proposal to put up security cameras in Campustown in the past. So, until that hope becomes a reality, the assaults and other crimes will continue. Instead of relying on witnesses who may or may not be intoxicated at the time of a crime, rely on the physical evidence of a security tape. It was on Truhlsen to step up and protect the random female. But now, it’s on law enforcement and Campustown businesses to step up and keep students like Truhlsen safe from the tragic consequences he endured for doing the right thing.

Senior Meghan Cassens moved into second place in ISU tennis history in overall career singles wins after earning her 63rd against Oklahoma and 64th against Utah State on Feb. 7.

CASSENS’ COURT Senior tennis player experiences record-breaking season
By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com Goals are a way to measure success, while achievements are put in the record books. After four years as a member of the ISU tennis team, senior Meghan Cassens has seen the good, the bad and the record books. Cassens surpassed previous ISU tennis players Sarah Berres and Marie-Christine Chartier, who each had 62 wins, to move to second in ISU tennis history for overall career singles wins. Chartier obtained this record in 2012, whereas Berres finished her career in 1987. Cassens earned her 63rd win against Omaha and 64th against Utah State on Feb. 7. Cassens is also tied for third in overall wins for singles and doubles with 114 wins. These wins come with four years of competition, and good and bad moments of a long career. Entering as one of only five star tennis recruits at Iowa State, Cassens and coach Armando Espinosa had high expectations. Espinosa believes
that Cassens was placed in the three or four spot because he had the expectation that she was going to start in the lineup as a freshman, but she didn’t have the firepower to play at the top spot right away. “There’s always a moment in a player’s career where the decision to quit comes in your head,” Cassens said. “That moment came during my sophomore year at the Florida Gulf Coast Invitational.” Cassens placed seventh out of eight spots and was frustrated with some of her coaching, so she was deliberating between transferring or quitting tennis altogether. The assistant coach that year was Rodrigo Puebla and the three senior players believed that Puebla didn’t think they were playing to their potential. With all of this in Cassens’ head, she sat down with Espinosa for two hours at the invitational and discussed her future at Iowa State. Without the help that Espinosa provided, Cassens would have transferred or quit the team that week. Espinosa said he wanted to comfort Cas-

Cassens decided to stay with the team and Espinosa said he was happy with her decision to stay because she won some important matches for the team after that particular moment. “It took Meghan some time to find out who she was as a tennis player and I think now that she understands her game, she’s more comfortable on the court,” Espinosa said. After reflecting over her four years, Cassens’ highlight memory was the weekend tennis match in
her hometown of Seattle during the regular season of her sophomore year. “My family and friends were able to come to the matches, which was really special because my friends have never seen me play tennis,” Cassens said. Being able to hug her friends and family and go home after the match, Cassens felt like she was in high school again. The other members of the team had the opportunity to see Cassens’ house and enjoy a dinner made by Cassens’ mother. The team was also able to travel to Pike Place Fish Market and the very first Starbucks ever made.
“The Seattle trip felt more like home to be honest because Cassens’ family treated us like family,” said senior Caroline Andersen. “I’ve always wanted to go to Washington and being able to go with the tennis team made it even more memorable.” Along with the memories, Cassens had a few goals entering her senior year that unfortunately she wasn’t able to accomplish. One was to be playing No. 1 or 2 this regular season, but she understands the skill levels of senior Ksenia Pronina and sophomore Samantha Budai. The other was to be ranked in singles, but she hasn’t been able to play against ranked opponents this season because the three spot doesn’t play many ranked opponents. “I think she’s earned her way to be in front of me because she’s worked really hard to show she can win some difficult matches,” Budai said. “But it also motivates me to play better because I need to earn the number two spot with Meghan right behind me.” Cassens hopes she left a legacy and did everything she could to help her team win during her
career. “I hope they got what they expected as one of the higher recruits they’ve had in the program,” Cassens said. “I knew the expectations they had for me and I hope I achieved them in the right manner.” Espinosa has watched Cassens grow into a mature leader who respects the game, but shows competitiveness on the court. “Her demeanor on the court is what I’ll remember the most from her,” Espinosa said. “She might be up 5-0 in the second set and miss a ball and she’s not very happy, so she’ll scream and yell even though she’s up. That’s just who she is and that’s what has made her the player she is today.” Wins are more essential for Cassens and capturing a Big 12 title is the goal each season. Records are nice to have as a confidence booster, but at the end of the day, team wins are what she’s looking for each match. “The ability to have these records happen over the generation of four years is pretty cool,” Cassens said. “I can’t wait to show my children in the future about these accomplishments.”
Senior earns first collegiate victory at Lady Puerto Rico Classic By Mike.Randleman @iowastatedaily.com At times, it was five shots. At others, it was nine and each number in between. Whatever Chonlada Chayanun’s lead was in the final round of the Lady Puerto Rico Classic, it was never in doubt. The senior notched her first collegiate victory by five shots in wire-to-wire fashion against a field that featured five top-25 teams and more than a dozen individuals in the top 100 of the Golfweek rankings. Though Chayanun’s victory came in one of Iowa State’s traditionally toughest tournaments, the stingiest opponent for her to overcome may have been rebounding from a near miss just one week prior to the event. At the UCF Challenge on Feb. 10, Chayanun held
a share of the lead heading into the final round. After six career top-10 finishes, she was as close as she had ever come to finding the winner’s circle, but had a day to forget after posting a nine-over-par round of 81 to fall to a tie for 24th place. “I learned a lot of things from the last tournament, the last round I played bad and I just learned from that and put it toward this tournament,” Chayanun said. “Last tournament I shot 81 because it was windy and I kept adjusting my putting and tried to play with the wind and it just didn’t work at all. This tournament I was just pretending that there was no wind and played normal.” Chayanun’s simplistic approach paid off as she became the first Cyclone to earn solo medalist honors since Kendra Hanson in 2007. “It feels pretty amazing,
actually,” Chayanun said. “I’m really happy because this is my first winning tournament in college. I’ve been here for four years and this is my first win.” It would have been No. 33 Iowa State’s first team win in three years, but the Cyclones finished in third place, eight shots shy of earning an ISU sweep. Iowa State briefly held a two-shot lead midway through the final round, but a late surge from the Razorbacks and some blunders from the Cyclones on the back nine resulted in a seven-shot lead against No. 16 LSU. Celia Barquin was one Cyclone who tamed Rio Mar Country Club’s back nine in the final round. She closed with a back-nine 35 to finish with a 71 and a tie for 20th place out of 82 golfers. In her freshman campaign, Barquin has led or co-led her team in four of
six events and is Iowa State’s highest-ranked golfer. Nonetheless, Barquin was displeased with her first and second rounds of 74 and 77, which kept her out of medalist contention. “The first round I was two-over[-par], which is not really a good result,” Barquin said. “My second round was awful, the whole thing was really bad. Then finally my last round, I tried to do better and keep calm and no worries. It was much better, but I’m still not playing really good.” Barquin said she already has her sights set on working toward the team’s next event, which will come in the form of the Hurricane Invitational on March 2 in Coral Gables, Fla. With another win in Florida, Chayanun would become the first back-toback victor during ISU coach Christie Martens’ 11-year tenure at Iowa State.

‘FLUFFY’ IS COMING Gabriel Iglesias to perform at Stephens Auditorium By Melissa.Garrett @iowastatedaily.com With his unique and animated comedy style, Gabriel Iglesias is bringing his Hawaiian shirts and “Fluffy” memorabilia to Ames at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Stephens Auditorium. Uniting people through laughter is important to Iglesias, who has been to all 50 United States — both big and small cities — and toured all over the world. The idea for Iglesias’ Unity Through Laughter World Tour began when Iglesias was performing in Saudi Arabia and Iglesias saw a Saudi Arabian prince and a U.S. ambassador seated next to each other. “They were both sitting next to each other in the front row and I was like, ‘really? This is what brings people together?’” Iglesias said. “The show itself was uniting people, and that’s where the whole ‘Unity Through Laughter’ came from.” With 90 percent of fans calling him ‘Fluffy,’ Iglesias premiered his “Gabriel Iglesias: Aloha Fluffy” special on Comedy Central in a twonight special to more than 15 million viewers. Also well-known for his “Hot & Fluffy” and “I’m Not Fat … I’m Fluffy” TV specials, Iglesias most recently wrapped up filming “Magic Mike XXL,” reprising his role as Tobias, and will be seen alongside actors such as Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello, which hits theaters this July. As one of America’s most successful stand-up comedians, Iglesias grew up in Long Beach, Calif., and always wanted to become a comedian. “[Comedy] is what I set out to do. This isn’t a Plan B,” Iglesias said. “I had a dream of becoming a comedian and I made that happen, so for me, I’m always living that dream. I do get recognized daily, but if I’m going out somewhere I expect it.” Iglesias remembers the first time he was recognized in Tucson, Ariz., after only six months of being a co-
median, when he was at a restaurant with two other comedians. “The waiter [came] over, and I had done one TV show, and it just so happens that that waiter saw that one TV show and he recognized me, and he just flipped out,” Iglesias said. “It was pretty cool. I just remember walking out of that restaurant and I had a little glow.” Some of the best advice Iglesias ever received was from comedian Joey Medina, who told him there was no need to be a dirty comic. By cleaning up his act, Medina informed Iglesias he would be television-ready and avoid an extensive editing process to bleep out cuss words. “In the beginning, I was a super-dirty comic. I was filthy,” Iglesias said. “[Medina] said, ‘You’re very likable and you don’t need to cuss.’ The best advice I ever got was, ‘Work clean and you’ll go further.’ After that, I tried to keep it squeaky-clean until I got to the position where people wanted to pay to see the show. The show’s not squeaky-clean, by no means, but it’s not a filthy show all the way.” For his tour, Iglesias travels with two tour buses, three trailers and a number of people involved in the show, which is quite a challenge for him. “In the beginning, all I had to worry about was just me, [but now] it’s a team. I feel like a rapper,” Iglesias said. To prepare for larger shows, Iglesias creates his comedic material while playing at smaller comedy clubs. “I call it the comedy gym. When I go to the club, that’s where I work stuff out,” Iglesias said. “Once you’re doing a huge arena, that material better have been worked out, better been honed, better been crafted right because these people paid [and] they expect to be entertained on that level.” With more and more people coming to see “Fluffy,” Iglesias said he used to stick around to interact with fans after the
bigger shows, but staying afterward was often as long or longer than his full performance. “Each group that would come up [was] an actual meeting each time, so imagine just a huge line and everyone wants to come up. And you don’t want to rush anybody. They had a good time and they want to talk to you,” Iglesias said. “There’s a connection there. The last thing you want to do is take that away from them.” With a nickname like “Fluffy,” Iglesias said he definitely gets the name “Fluffy” more than “Gabriel.” “For the most part, [Fluffy] is all I get,” Iglesias said. “I’m cool with it. I put it out there, so I’m expecting it now.” Beyond comedy, Iglesias has a clothing company at home, a production company, where he produces specials for other comics, and does a lot of online content. Owning more than 700 Hawaiian shirts at one point in time, Iglesias has Twitter contests for fans to win one of his iconic shirts with a photo of him wearing it. Iglesias is on the road for more than 40 weeks of the year, so when he has free time, he enjoys spending it with his family when he goes home. “Fluffy” is thankful for his fans and recently purchased the car of his dreams: a 21-window, Volkswagen bus. “If I have a couple hours to myself, I’ll jump in my car, take a little drive, go to Starbucks, say ‘hi’ to some people and drive back home. For me, a break is being at the house playing with the dogs, playing with the car,” Iglesias said. “I don’t take vacations because vacation[ing] [is] exactly what I’m doing right now. I’m at an airport, at a hotel, on a shuttle bus, I’m in a lobby, I’m going out to eat — that’s what I do now, but I’m telling jokes along with it,” Iglesias said. Tickets for Gabriel Iglesias’ show are available via Ticketmaster and can also be purchased between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday

GSB p1 why students are voting for candidates.” Sen. Hamad Abbas said most people run for vice president not to chair the meetings, but to do something for the student body. “This is a meeting for the senate,” Abbas said. “I don’t see why another branch is chairing our meetings.” The bill failed to pass. GSB discussed an amendment to change certain senate actions. One amendment they voted on changed the voting process in senate meetings. Previously, the bill required two-thirds majority
OFFICER p1
of seated senators, which entails all senators in GSB. This was replaced with a vote with majority of all voting senators, meaning senators who are present at the meetings. Abbas said a vote should be counted by those who are present. “If you’re not here, you should not count,” Abbas said. “There’s always valid excuses for missing the meeting, but it should not hurt what we have here.” This was also the first GSB meeting in which the senators said the Pledge of Allegiance before beginning their order of business. This is what was in at press time. Check online for the full story.

the Ames community as a whole would be included in the process. “There will be some conversation with folks in the Ames community,” Hall said. “Ames often gets a very positive response from candidates.” ISU students said they also see the benefit of having a chief diversity officer. “Culture is really interesting,” Busch said. “Diversity is really important to every institution.” The search for a chief diversity officer will take months to complete because The Spelman and Johnson Group and the search committee must define the roles of the posi-
tion before they can choose candidates, Bystrom said. Because the search committee must define the role that the new position will play at Iowa State, the search requires getting input from the community. The first round of candidate interviews is scheduled for July to August and on-campus interviews in September and October. Leath has said he would like to fill the position by late fall 2015 or early spring 2016. Another town meeting will take place Thursday from 10:10 to 11 a.m. in the Cardinal Room of the Memorial Union. Additional town meetings will be held through April for the university community to provide input.
