Cruz wins; Democrats close Clinton, Sanders race too close to call Monday night

Ted Cruz wins Iowa; Trump in second despite long lead

By ISD Politics Team

By ISD Politics Team

The Democratic Caucus between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders was too close to call Monday night — although Clinton had a slim lead — as both candidates addressed supporters before major news networks would make projections. As of press time at midnight Tuesday, Clinton had 683 delegates to Sanders’ 680 with 98 percent reporting. “It certainly indicates this race is very close,” said Mack Shelley, university professor of political science. “We sort of knew that going in. It does indicate that the Clinton campaign has a harder time spinning this.” The Clinton campaign declared “victory” when talking to reporters before Clinton’s speech. “I think given that Hillary Clinton was seen not that long ago that almost guaranteed to win the nomination easily, I don’t think that the claim that it’s a victory is going to sit very well.” Shelley said Clinton will have to prove herself in New Hampshire, where she is currently running behind Sanders in the polls. “Sanders can claim to have the momentum in the sense that he fought what at one point was an inevitable nominee for the party,” Shelley said. “Neither of them can claim a clear victory. Sanders can claim momentum; Clinton can claim she won by a whisker.” Throughout the state, several dozen precincts were not reporting results, which could prove pivotal with the close results. Both the Republican and Democratic parties were using a new app designed by Microsoft to expedite the reporting process. In Story County, Sanders overwhelmingly won the college vote. Sanders won every precinct that included mostly college students. O’Malley, who decided to suspend his campaign, picked up 8 delegates — within the margin of votes between Clinton and Sanders. The Des Moines Register/ Bloomberg Politics Iowa Poll released this past weekend showed

Ted Cruz made it look easy Monday night, beating Donald Trump — who dominated the news and led almost every poll since summer — by almost 5,000 votes. Cruz took the victory with 27.67 percent — more than 50,000 votes. Fellow presidential hopeful Donald Trump took second place in the race with 24.3 percent, while U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, RFla., was third with 23.1 percent overall. News organizations called the race for Republicans shortly before 9:30 p.m. Cruz spoke to a crowd after the announcement in the Elwell Center at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, stating that Monday “was a victory” not only for conservatives in Iowa, but across the nation. With 48,608 voters who chose Cruz, the candidate stated, and that Iowa has sent notice that the Republican nomination “will not be chosen” by the media, the “Washington establishment,” or the lobbyists, “but will be chosen by the utmost powerful force where sovereignty resides in this nation, by we the people.” Cruz credited his victory to his supporters and volunteers for his campaign, citing 120,000 volunteers in Iowa and more than 200,000 across the country, as well as “an average contribution of $67 dollars, that is the power of the grassroots.” “From day one, this campaign has been a movement for millions of Americans across this country to organize, to rally, to come together,” Cruz said. “Whatever Washington says they cannot keep the people down.” Cruz also thanked his family for their support, especially his father, a Cuban immigrant who came to the United States “who has lived the dream.” The senator from Texas went on to talk about his plans for the presidency if he would be elected, which include repealing Obamacare and securing borders. He also stated he was the candidate

CRUZ WINS p8

First-time caucusgoers set record turnout Students pack caucus locations at Iowa State By ISD Politics Team First-time caucusgoers in Ames filed into voting locations in droves, so much so that one caucus location in Ames had to move people outside. The Republican caucus at St. John’s Episcopal Church in the Ames 4-1 precinct, which included most of the residents of Campustown, was expected to have only about 150 voters. A total of 524

voters cast their vote. Hundreds of voters were forced to move outside because of overcrowding, filling the parking lot behind the church. Students had different reasons for getting involved in the first caucus they were of age to vote in. “This is my first time caucusing,” said Quinn Jamrok, sophomore in mathematics. “I’m here because I don’t like how the country is run. I’m here to vote for a change, which is why I’m caucusing for Donald Trump. I like how he wants to run the economy, because then companies can grow and create new jobs.” Statewide, Republican turnout was pushing 180,000, which is a significant increase from 2012,

when just over 121,000 turned out. “That’s like 50 percent more than [the 2012 Republican caucus] mark,” said Mack Shelley, university professor of political science. “That way exceeds what the Republicans have seen before.” Shelley attended a Democratic caucus in east Ames, where he said Sanders easily had the most supporters. Just over 300 turned out at his caucus, which was more than he said turned out at the last Democratic caucus there in 2008. Voters also had specific reasons for voting for the candidate of their choice, such as Kay Owen, an Ames resident who voted for Donald Trump at St. John’s. Owen said she has participated in the caucuses several times and does

so because she said it is important to have a voice in the government. Owen said she voted for Trump because she likes that he is “not afraid to say what he thinks.” Though Ted Cruz won the Republican caucuses in Iowa, Marco Rubio came in first with 321 votes for caucusgoers at St. John’s. Rand Paul and Donald Trump tied for second at that location with 54 votes. “This is my first time at the caucus,” said Taylor Rice, junior in agricultural business. “I wanted to participate because I have been taking political science classes, and I’ve also had family that is very involved in politics and I wanted to see what it is like. I’m caucusing for Marco Rubio because he

is the candidate that can connect the best with Americans. He didn’t get raised with money and had to work his way up to the top like most Americans today.” Students had various reasons for voting for Rubio, but one thing remained the same: Ames residents and students alike wanted to get involved in their first caucuses. Caucus sites at the Memorial Union, Scheman Building, Ames Middle School and Hansen Agriculture Student Learning Center in Ames also had high turnout, according to Daily reporters and caucus attendees. Iowa State’s Memorial Union, which housed several precinct’s

Second candidate interviews for VP for Student Affairs Al S. Thompson, Jr. wants students to be more than numbers By Rakiah.Bonjour @iowastatedaily.com

Al S. Thompson, Jr. is one of three candidates in the running for the vice president for Student Affairs position at Iowa State.

Al S. Thompson, Jr., vice chancellor for Student Affairs and chief diversity officer at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, talked about his goals and ideals at an open forum on campus for the senior vice president for Student Affairs position. Thompson, who is the second of three candidates interviewing to replace retiring Senior Vice President for Student Affairs Tom Hill, is a graduate of the University of Iowa and St. Mary’s University. He hosted the open forum at 9 a.m. Monday in the Memorial

Union. Thompson said his experience at Iowa led him to get involved in higher education. “I would have been troubled if I walked across the University of Iowa’s stage and didn’t care for the university,” Thompson said. “I want the same experience for our students. I want them to walk across the stage and feel valued, loved and that this is their alma mater, this is their place, this is their home.” Thompson’s ultimate goal is to see students not only graduate but graduate happily and be readily able to give back to their community. “I want students to be able to give back, not just to this campus but Ames, the state of Iowa and the United States of America,” he said. Apart from giving back and watching students succeed, Thompson is focused on developing students at a level they are able

to transform and succeed. “My vision is to engage students along their transformational journey to develop selfconfidence, a sense of purpose, resiliency and active citizenship,” Thompson said. “Key words are that transformational journey, think about it ... they don’t leave the same way they came. ... Getting a degree is critical … but they have to have a purpose of what they’re going to do once they have that.” Thompson said he would help students transform by making more opportunities such as internships, mental health support, résumé builders and study abroad options readily available to students. He also plans to keep Iowa State’s student experience intact. “The pride of your campus is being student-centered,” he said. “Being student-centered is not just a buzzword at Iowa

State, there’s a reality to how you operate. You pride yourself as a campus that does not want students to become a number ... every student has value, every student has a place, to the point of being an individual versus being a group or a number.” One of Thompson’s biggest issue he has worked to solve at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and hopes to continue to change at Iowa State is the problem with diversity. He said there must be a sense of trust among students, and the ability to have honest discussions allows an understanding of the problems he faces. “We cannot put our heads in the sand and hope it goes away in the sense of activism,” he said. “There must be ... discussions at the forefront to allow us to come to an understanding of where we

Rows of control panels line the ISU Power Plant floor. Two ISU professors, Richard Mansbach and Doug Jacobson, are trying to prevent the U.S. power grid from being attacked.

Cyberattacks target power grid in U.S. Professors work on project to stimulate attacks By Derek.Clayton @iowastatedaily.com Enemies of the United States can attack the country without so much as leaving their homes. Cyberattacks on the power grid are a rising threat around the world, and without proper countermeasures, the attacks can lead to even greater problems. However, a pair of ISU professors are working to prevent this sort of disaster from happening. Richard Mansbach, professor of political sci-

ence, shared his predictions in the event that the United States’ power grid is attacked. “It would be like Pearl Harbor,” Mansbach said. “It would trigger a large-scale war that may escalate to nuclear war.” The power grid is composed of interconnected systems of transmission lines, regulators, substations and transformers. Several transmission grids within the power grid get electricity to consumers. If one of these transmission grids were to be compromised, the consequences would be great and affect countless people. Doug Jacobson, university professor of electrical and computer engineering, said a cyberattack would have a big impact on the grid.

“A large-scale cyberattack gets out everybody who lives in the area that the power grid is in,” Jacobson said. “You don’t get a small group of people, you get everybody.” The towering power pylons to the smaller power lines along U.S. roads are all a part of the grid. When one thinks about damaging the power grid, he or she may think of only physical damage such as cutting a power line or destroying a generator. Thanks to hackers, however, threats to the power grid come straight from the Internet. One may wonder how the physical grid could be damaged by hackers. The answer is in the fact that the power grid is actually a cyber-physical system. “Cyber-physical means

the physical world is controlled by computers,” Jacobson said. Hackers aim for the computer systems that control the grid. By attacking sensors, they are able to cause damage to the grid by overloading a generator or shutting down power. The results of their attacks take on many forms. Manimaran Govindarasu, professor of electric and computer engineering, said there are many forms of consequences paid by countries victim to attacks on the power grid. “The consequences of cyberattacks are multiple, blackouts, physical damage, instability, economic loss of production,” Govindarasu said. Cyberattacks are a growing problem and steps

need to be taken to work on the power grid’s defenses. Govindarasu and Jacobson are currently working with a team of professors on a project called “PowerCyber.” The name represents the power grid aspect and the cyber aspect of the project. The goal of PowerCyber is to provide an atmosphere where students and professionals can simulate different cyberattacks and defenses. “It is a playground for researchers to experiment with their techniques and concepts,” Govindarasu said. PowerCyber is meant to educate students and help researchers develop new methods of cyber defense. With the information gathered from experimentation with the simulation device,

strategies can be created to help detect cyberattacks and prevent them all together. “There are various approaches to cyberattacks, and how to deal with them,” Govindarasu said. PowerCyber was created to help researchers find these different approaches. With time, the testing system will help in the development of new strategies for stopping cyberattacks. By educating students in cyber defenses, Govindarasu and his colleagues hope to improve the future of cyber security. “We use [PowerCyber] for education, senior design projects and industrial training. ... It helps them prepare for cyberattacks and strengthen their own infrastructure,” Govindarasu said.

Equality forums begin Sharon Abraham talks campus concerns at ISU By Jake.Dalbey @iowastatedaily.com The first of four open forums slated to determine the new director of equal opportunity began Monday, and the forums will continue through Feb. 15. Sharon Abraham, director of diversity and affirmative action at Eastern Michigan University, was the first to speak Monday in Morrill Hall about diversity issues affecting faculty and students on college campuses. Abraham began her speech by highlighting various areas of concerns for campuses in today’s society. These included enhanced compliance, global focus, student unrest and a diverse faculty. A focus of equal pay despite gender or race was a core value for Abraham as she referenced President Obama’s Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 as a goal to strive for and ensure that female and minority staffs are paid fairly across the ISU campus. This value also streamed into Abraham’s goal of hiring and out-

reaching to more veterans and those with disabilities for jobs at Iowa State. Global focus for education was another talking point as Abraham expressed the need for a global student perspective. “Businesses want students to have a global reach,” Abraham said. “Soon it’s almost going to be a requirement for students who graduate with a higher education to have some sort of study abroad program underneath them.” Debt among college students is an issue that Abraham sees as possible to lower and make more manageable for students. “I have a friend who just graduated with a master’s and bachelor degree who is already $100,000 dollars in debt,” Abraham said. “How are you supposed to gain wealth if you are this far into debt? It’s reasonable to think that we can find ways to share funds with students so they can be successful after school.” Abraham concluded by supporting the importance of equal treatment and pay among faculty, as well as trained staff prepared to deal with issues of inequality. “Something that is seen on my campus is the notion of gender equity, especially when it comes to pay, and there’s many

issues with making that a possibility,” Abraham said. Stating pay equity is a challenge that has been around for a while and will continue to be present in the future, Abraham said enhancing diversity, creating a better self audit system and possible equality training among staff will help alleviate this. Students’ rights were also mentioned, as Abraham said many vocal students who are present in the minority of an issue are often treated unfairly in the classroom and general public, meaning trained staff would be put in place to help consult these students on their issues and create solutions. Abraham shared a few features about why Iowa State is the place for her. “Iowa State was not on my radar, but you guys hired a great search firm who put together a good list of qualities they wanted, and I said to myself that this was something I could do and something I could do well,” Abraham said. ”Also, the ISU strategic plan had the right words inside it and I knew from there that you are willing to move things along and be valuable starting points” The director of equal opportunity forums will continue next week with Ellyn Bartges on Monday, Margo Foreman on Feb. 11 and Jyl Shaffer on Feb. 15.

Candidates suspend campaigns Huckabee, O’Malley fold caucus night By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee suspended their campaigns for president after low Iowa Caucus turnouts. Hucakbee, who won the 2008 caucus, made the announcement while speaking to supporters after results were announced. “I am officially suspending my campaign,”

Huckabee tweeted. “Thank you for all your loyal support.” O’Malley made the announcement while addressing his supporters at Wooly’s in Des Moines. Iowa has been like a second home for me this past year,” O’Malley said in an email to supporters. “From college campuses to family farms, I have had the privilege of getting to know Iowans whose passion for our democracy is unmatched.” The Democratic race was a virtual tie, with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders both near 50 percent. “I want to thank everyone who came out to our events, and lent me

their ear,” O’Malley said. “Everyone who went out to caucus for me tonight, and lent me their voice. I give you my deepest gratitude.” O’Malley told the Iowa State Daily earlier Monday that he was focused on Iowa, and was looking forward to New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada — the next states in the presidential primary contest. At a town hall at Iowa State on Monday, he told supporters to “hold strong” and “fight for viability” at caucus sites. O’Malley, who is also the former mayor of Baltimore, struggled to catch on during his campaign, sticking in the single digits throughout the entire race.

Clinton at 45 percent and Sanders at 42 percent — within the margin of error. Speaking to supporters in Des Moines — with former President Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea Clinton by her side — Clinton did not declare victory, or concede defeat, but said it is “rare” to have “’a real contest of ideas” inside the Democratic Party. “I am excited about really getting into the debate with Senator Sanders about the best way forward to fight for us and America,” Clinton said, looking forward to upcoming debates and forums before next week’s primary in New Hampshire. “There is so much at stake in this election,” Clinton said. “I am a progressive who gets things done for people.” Also speaking in Des Moines, Sanders did not declare victory, instead saying the results were a “victory.”

“What Iowa has done tonight is a political revolution,” Sanders said. “While the results are still not known, we are in a virtual tie.” News organizations broadcasting wall-to-wall coverage would not make a projection on the race because of the close delegate count, but with proportional delegates given based on results, each candidate will walk away with about the same number. While Iowa was close, all eyes are now on New Hampshire, which holds the first primary next week. Even without knowing full results, Sanders sent an email to supporters, which included a link to send in donations. “Tonight we accomplished what the corporate media and political establishment once believed was impossible: after trailing Hillary Clinton in Iowa throughout this entire campaign, it looks as if we will

Columnist Heckle argues that the prohibition of cannabis was driven by misinformation and racism directed toward Mexican Americans. Heckle believes the demonization of marijuana directly relates to the demonization of Mexican immigrants who entered the country in the early 1900s.

The road to legalization

Cannabis prohibition first started with racism, ignorance

Editors Note: This column is part one in a series of columns that will highlight the history of cannabis in the United States. By Michael.Heckle @iowastatedaily.com

A

s support toward the legalization of marijuana for both medical and recreational uses continues to rise, questions about the history and legitimacy of its prohibition are being brought to light. Though cannabis has been used by humans for almost 5,000 years, the past 80 years of its existence have been filled with controversy, crime and misinformation. Yet, the underlying intent behind the prohibition of cannabis — though hidden behind the guise of public safety — holds racist, xenophobic and disingenuous sentiments. As these intents become more integrated into public knowledge, the general attitudes — at least of Americans — toward cannabis have changed drastically. In the past 15 years, the percentage of Americans who support the legalization of cannabis has grown by almost a fourth, increasing from 31 percent in 2001 to 58 percent in October of 2015, according to a Gallup poll. However, support for legalization is nothing new. Since the 1960s, support for legalization has had significant growth. As this argument is far from brief, I will be writing a series of three columns that will highlight the history of cannabis prohibition, its movement toward social acceptance and the social impact of its

legalization. The first legal mention of cannabis in America occurred in 1619, when the Virginia Assembly passed legislation that required farmers to grow hemp to be used in textile products such as rope and clothing. Its use as a psychoactive substance popularized in the 19th century in the form of hashish or hash, which became a fad throughout France and the United States. Interestingly, the medical properties of cannabis were exploited as early as the late 1800s. The first strike against cannabis occurred in the 1900s shortly after the Mexican Revolution of 1910. During this time, the practice of smoking cannabis in forms other than hashish was largely unknown. As Mexican immigrants began to enter the country in rapid numbers, the practice of smoking cannabis in the form of a cigarette or through a pipe was introduced to American users. This Mexican movement into America brought with it a new term of cannabis as well: marijuana. Because of media’s use of this new nomenclature in association with the prejudice toward Mexican Americans at the time, the majority of Americans were left completely unaware that this “dangerous new drug” had been sitting in their medicine cabinets for close to 50 years. The prohibition of cannabis began on a state level as early as 1911. Yet, these new policies were often added as an after thought or an indirect consequence in legislation prohibiting more dangerous drugs such as cocaine and opium to strictly prescription use. However, the development of misinformation and racism that would lead a nation-wide prohibition later in the 20th century is even more concerning than the apparent disinterest in cannabis in some of these early laws. The misconstrued notion of marijuana as a dangerous substance is the

fault of an uninformed media and government. In 1921, newspapers run by media tycoon William Randolph Hearst began associating marijuana with murder, torture, sexual immorality and senseless violence, even though there was no real evidence to support such claims. This view of cannabis, a once popular and effective medicine, was compounded by statements made by Harry J. Anslinger, head of the U.S. Treasury Department’s Narcotics Bureau. Anslinger, a vehement racist, began capitalizing on this false perception of cannabis by pressing a public relations campaign that made the plant illegal in almost all 48 States. Using his influence and benefiting from the rampant ignorance and misinformation about marijuana, Anslinger lobbied for the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act. The act, which was passed through Congress after merely 30 minutes of debate, regulated cannabis by putting a heavy tax on the transfer of the substance. This act was later found unconstitutional and replaced by the Controlled Substances Act in 1970. The congressional hearing itself was a laughable state of affairs. With the majority of Congress ignorant of the fact that Marijuana and cannabis were the same substance, the government essentially banned a substance it knew nothing about. Ironically enough, the only witness to speak out against the act on the floor was a representative of the American Medical Association. The demonization of marijuana is synonymous with the demonization of the Mexican immigrants at the time. Furthermore, its legality stems from a concoction of false information and blatant ignorance. It is shocking that these archaic attitudes of the past 80 years continue to manifest themselves in modern-day policy.

Politicians need to leave science alone By Maddy.Beiwel @iowastatedaily.com Who owns knowledge? President Obama? Neil deGrasse Tyson? Donald Trump? The lizard people? No one owns knowledge. Knowledge isn’t a car, or house, or words. Knowledge isn’t the paper those words are written on, or the ink with which they’re printed. Knowledge is a huge intangible mass of thoughts and ideas that changes and grows and binds together the human race, even as it divides us. No single person can own something that we all own individually. “It is good to rub and polish our brains against that of others,” Michel Eyquem de Montaigne, a French philosopher and writer, said on the transfer and sharing of thoughts and ideas. It’s imperative for us to give what we know to others and to take what they have to give to us without foolish bias or baseless prejudice. Vetting is necessary-automatic dismissal is foolishness. Why then is science, the pinnacle of human knowledge and understanding, so steeped in the quagmire of double talk? Why is it dragged through the mud by some politicians? Science is so often misunderstood and misrepresented by those

in power such that it has to be tread upon so lightly that it becomes nearly meaningless. Science has changed rapidly over the years. We can now do, or nearly do, things that we never would have dreamt of outside of science fiction stories — genetic engineering, stem cell research, robots that can pass tests, super advanced prosthetics. The list goes on and on, and every advancement is a victory. But it’s not all good news. People have known about climate change for decades. We’ve known about the causes for about a quarter century. It’s clear that it is directly influenced by human actions. Even if we didn’t start it, we’re certainly making it much worse. But it has been routinely rebuffed by conservative Republicans, who claim that winters still happen, snowballs still exist, and therefore it cannot be getting warmer. While they do have some research to back them up, it’s shoddy and misinterpreted at best. Trump even believes China made it up. They seem to revel in their misunderstanding. They seek to spread their ignorance to the masses by way of limiting efforts to decrease emission requirements and lower budgets on helpful programs. Republicans have turned a blind eye to climate change time after time and have ignored

chances to perhaps alleviate it. It’s a mentality of “If I have to fix it, I have to admit I broke it.” We all broke it, we and our grandparents and their parents. Another hot button issue bordering science and politics is the topic of health. As with traditional science, the health industry has grown leaps and bounds. We have long been able to graft a patient’s skin onto other parts of their body — we soon may be able to graft skin made in vitro in more complex ways. This is but one of the miraculous new things humans can do to help one other recover. The most controversial of these is the practice of stem cell research. Basically, stem cells are cells that can divide “essentially without limit.” When they divide, they can either stay a stem cell or become another specialized type. This means they can act as a sort of repair system for the body if used. They can help stroke victims, burn victims, heart disease sufferers and many more. They can also be used to test drugs without the necessity of actual humans and, perhaps most importantly, they can be used for cell-based therapies. Sometimes these cells are taken from human embryonic cells. I’m not trying to bash Republicans, shocking as that mey seem. I don’t think they’re

completely wrong or completely right, just as I don’t think Democrats are completely right or completely wrong. But in this area, at least, the majority of Republican popular opinion is in the wrong. Republicans tend to demonize stem cells. They have come to the conclusion that stem cells are actual fetuses being dragged from the womb to be subjected to inhumane tests. I can only imagine that they picture a newborn being poked and prodded on a table. This is obviously not the case. Embryonic stem cells are fertilized in vitro and not taken from the woman’s body. However, conservatives have attempted to stop the research on stem cells on the basis that they are harming fetuses. They don’t seem to grasp that these embryos were not going to be implanted into a woman to grow into a child; these embryos were going to be thrown away. It is selfish foolishness not to use them for medical advancement. They seem to have fostered the belief that embryonic stem cells come from aborted fetuses. This does not happen. Stem cell research is necessary, climate change is a fact and people who stand in the way of these are not only hindering their own advancement but they’re also hindering potential generations.

Continue to follow political campaigns Iowa has been the place to be during the past few weeks. Every time we turned around it seemed as though another presidential candidate was in town, numerous celebrities and musical acts in tow trying to get every last vote they could before the Iowa caucuses. Students and other civic-minded individuals would arrive in droves to show their support — or disdain — each time a candidate rolled into Ames or any other city in Iowa. A ton of work has gone into digesting the information dished out by both Republicans and Democrats during the past few months to try and decipher where people’s vote would go. Polls show that this process was a close one as both parties’ front-runners were only a few percentage points apart from each other as the number of weeks to the caucuses dwindled. Especially being an Iowan, a lot of responsibility was put on our shoulders leading up to Monday night to go out and caucus, but with that responsibility came a mountain of attempts to sway us. January was plastered with so many televised campaign ads that it was nearly impossible to make it through a commercial break without hearing a little something from each candidate. So now, on the day after the historical night, it may feel as if the responsibility has been lifted, but quite the contrary. It is likely that the number of candidates will start to fall in the coming days based on the results, and for some, that means the person they wanted to be elected is out of the running. This shift could also be viewed as the time when paying attention to the 2016 presidential election no longer seems necessary. This idea is also misguided. It’s true, the caucuses are over and the spotlight that has been held over the state of Iowa for the past few months has started to fade, but that does not mean that what is going on in the presidential campaigns is no longer relevant. This is especially true for those who no longer have a “favorite” running for the White House. It’s for those whose ideal candidate is losing steam that paying attention to the candidates who did prevail in the Iowa caucuses is most important. During the height of campaign season, people latched onto the views of the candidate they felt was the most qualified for the job of commander in chief, but this also meant not highlighting other candidates’ potential to lead the United States moving forward. Whether a Democrat or Republican, it is of the utmost importance that we refocus on those who continue forward in the fight to be elected at the end of 2016 and stay involved in the direction that our country is headed.

Cyclones ready for ‘Press Virginia’ No. 13 Iowa State set for No. 14 West Virginia’s vigorous 40-minute full-court pressure By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com ISU coach Steve Prohm has never faced WVU coach Bob Huggins or West Virginia in his coaching career. When the Mountaineers come to Ames on Tuesday for another Big 12 matchup, all Prohm will have to go on is film and word from the rest of the team. Senior forward Georges Niang, though, knows exactly what is coming. “Have you ever been chased by a couple of wild pit bulls?” Niang said. “That’s what their press really feels like. They’re everywhere. They’re looking at you, making you feel as uncomfortable as possible.” No. 14 West Virginia brings a unique style of play — a nearly constant full-court press. And so far this season, it’s worked well. The Mountaineers defeated Kansas at home earlier in January. They lost to Oklahoma on the road, but only by two points. West Virginia has garnered a top-20 ranking for most of the season and is currently tied for first place in the Big 12. A lot of the Mountaineers’ success can be attributed to Huggins’ 40-minute, full-court press, which they’ve used successfully for years. “They’re like a pack of dogs ready to eat,” Morris said. “That’s what gets their offense going. We have to take care of the ball.” The Cyclones, though, don’t seem too worried about the fastpaced style of play that is certainly headed their way. They’ve won the last three games against the Mountaineers. By now, the team feels confident it knows what lies ahead. “Obviously we feel comfortable, we have [Monté Morris] bringing up the ball,” Niang said. “It’s definitely something that we’re used to and we’ve seen.” This, however, is Prohm’s first attempt at West Virginia. To prepare for the press, he isn’t going to simuLani Tons/Iowa State Daily late it much in practice beforehand. It’s just not feasible. Redshirt senior forward Jameel McKay blocks a shot from Oklahoma’s Isaiah Cousins on Jan. 18 at Hilton Coliseum.

“We don’t have the numbers in our practice to even simulate that,” Prohm said. “We just don’t have the depth of guys to throw seven guys in. I think you just review. These guys are experienced; they’ve played it before. You just review where you need to be and what we’re looking for, and just getting them in spots. These guys have done a good job against them.” Prohm isn’t going to overthink how to break the press. There isn’t enough time for that. “You’re not going to run a bunch of offense because by the time you get it across and get settled, you only have about 16, 18 seconds [left on the shot clock],” Prohm said. “It’s going to be spread the floor, make sure we’re really in our spots. You can’t not take those [fast-break] points though if they’re there. But tempo is going to be important, especially with our numbers, so we’ve got to be smart about that.” Even though he’s come out on top the past three games against West Virginia, Niang knows the Cyclones can’t get going too fast. Instead, they just need to stay focused the entire game. “You’ve go to keep your poise out there,” Niang said. “We have an older group of guys that are really focused on instead of individual battles with them — they’re going to try to throw you off your game — really just focus on what the big goal is, and that’s to win the game.”

Women’s basketball holds up morale By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com At the beginning of the 2015-16 season, ISU coach Bill Fennelly previewed his team with the coaching staff. He looked down at the roster and saw five underclassmen — four freshmen and a sophomore. If anything, he knew this season was going to be different than in years past. “I told the staff at the beginning of the year that it wasn’t going to be normal, if there is a such thing as normal in college sports,” Fennelly said. Now that the calendar has flipped to February, Fennelly has seen just how odd the season has been. Iowa State (11-9, 3-6 Big 12) is in the midst of a five-game skid, its first since the 2011-12 season, and takes on Kansas (5-16, 0-10 Big 12) at Allen Fieldhouse on Tuesday night — a tough place for Fennelly’s teams to play, historically. But his sentiment at the beginning of the season only touched on the youth of his team. He didn’t foresee the numerous injuries plaguing the team through the December and January part of the schedule. But that doesn’t mean he’s making any excuses. “You don’t plan for that,” Fennelly said. “It is what it is, and we’ve got to be better. We’ve got to coach better and we’re not making excuses for anything. We’ve got to find a way to do things the way we need to do them to win games. That’s the responsibility of the coaches and the players.” Although the coaches and players are struggling to find a way to win, they

Even in the roughest stretch of the season, the team’s upbeat attitude hasn’t wavered. “Our morale is fine,” Fennelly said. “The players have an amazing ability to move on quicker than coaches, fans, media people.” The resiliency isn’t what Fennelly expected to see from his squad, though. With such a young team, Fennelly didn’t forecast his team would take a rough stretch so well. In fact, he only remembers a few teams from his coaching career that took losing streaks in stride. “It does surprise me that they’ve maintained their approach,” Fennelly said. “But I think this team — the thing that’s helped them is they all get along. It’s not a group that points fingers at anyone. They care about one another. I think they really care about their seniors.” To senior Kidd Blaskowsky, the team’s constant morale level hasn’t surprised her, even with the youth. To her, the young players are the ones that keep the fire going even in the rough stretches. That doesn’t mean that the tough stretch

hasn’t been frustrating. “It is very frustrating, especially when you want to be great,” Blaskowsky said. “And you want to be on the top half of the Big 12. When you have young talent like that, the heart is always there. We love the game of basketball. Everybody is excited to come to practice even when it’s a win or loss. When times do get hard, you’ve got to find way.” And the Cyclones will try to find a way Tuesday night to pull out their first victory since beating Kansas on Jan. 9. It will come down to Fennelly’s formula for success to end the losing streak: effort and execution, Fennelly said.

Injury Update Iowa State’s five-game skid could partially be attributed to the team’s numerous injuries, most of which are still nagging. ISU coach Bill Fennelly said this team has been one of the most injuryplagued teams in his ISU career. “I didn’t anticipate the injuries — the attrition on our team,” Fennelly said. “You don’t anticipate that stuff.

You don’t plan for that.” Guard TeeTee Starks remains out for the season after undergoing knee surgery in December.

Plastic microbeads will be removed from all beauty products sold in the United States because of the Microbead-Free Waters Act of 2015. The microbeads are believed to be dangerous to wildlife in oceans and other bodies of water.

Ban removes plastic poisons By Megan.Dale @iowastatedaily.com You may have heard, as it’s been a big topic of conversation in the beauty world, that there was recently a ban placed on plastic microbeads, removing them from all products sold in the United States. This was implemented in the “MicrobeadFree Waters Act of 2015,” and vies for “prohibition against sale or distribution of rinse-off cosmetics containing plastic

microbeads,” according to congress.gov. This means that some of the most popular face washes used, including products under Neutrogena, Aveeno, Clean & Clear and more, will no longer be able to continue with their formulas that include plastic microbeads. To some who love a good exfoliant, this may sound disastrous, but when they look further into these products, they will realize that they may not need these little plastic poisons.

“More than eight trillion microbeads enter Earth’s waterways daily in the U.S,” according to the journal “Environmental Science & Technology.” Although these beads are small, roughly 1 millimeter, they are still dangerous to wildlife in oceans and other bodies of water. Organisms can easily mistake these plastic beads for fish eggs and ingest them purposefully. They are also ingested accidentally just as much, if not more, than they are purposefully. Our waters

are littered with these chemicals and non-recyclable pieces of plastic, and they are continuing to cause problems in the environment. The ban on plastic microbeads is OK because Earth is full of natural exfoliants. One company that has taken a stand against microbeads, and did so even before the national ban, is the increasingly popular Lush. Lush is a company that fully advocates for natural and harm-free products, and it offers a wide range of

products that contain natural exfoliants. It uses products such as salt, sugar, ground almonds and beans, rice bran, charcoal, corn meal and sand. All of these products are completely natural. By obliging by this ban, beauty users across the country will not only learn what great natural products can be used to give them better results than synthetic beads but will also save our aquatic wildlife and keep the oceans free of plastic contamination.

Avoid high-priced athletic attire By Janae.Verhelst @iowastatedaily.com Finding time to make it to the gym while in college can be tough for students. From homework, work and trying to stay social, gym time can be hard to come by. Not only can getting to the gym be tough, but finding the right workout attire for students on a budget can be even harder. Running pants or shorts, a workout tank top and shoes can be expensive depending on the brand. Lululemon, a highend yoga-focused chain that specializes in stylish athletic wear and accessories, is one of the most popular yoga pants and attire worn on campus by women. The company’s workout pants can vary from $98-$118 depending on the manufacturing. But with a college student’s income, that may be farfetched. Lululemon is a brand Michelle Goodman, senior in journalism and communication, wears often, but not because of the price. “So many people automatically assume that if you wear Lululemon you must be wealthy because it’s considered a “luxurious” brand, but the prices at Lulu are very competi-

Iowa State Daily

Finding workout wear that is both affordable and high quality can be difficult. If Lululemon, Nike, Under Armour and Eddie Bauer are too expensive, try some alternatives such as Target and Fabletics. Another option is shopping at factory or outlet stores for bigger brands such as Gap, which typically provide lower prices.

tive with Nike and Under Armor,” Goodman said. “I think you get what you pay for in terms of pricing for work or gear. No retailer is going to sell you a simple pair of running pants at $100 if there isn’t something special about them.” Goodman’s favorite workout brands are Lululemon, Nike, Gap, Under Armour and Eddie Bauer. If you are on a budget but still want good quality workout clothes, try one of the below retailers for high quality and reliable

activewear. Gap Inc. Gap is a clothing retailer company that focuses on the basics. A Gap outlet store is located in North Ames that has a wide variety of workout clothes for a reasonable price. A pair of workout pants at the outlet is only $30. Fabletics Kate Hudson recently sponsored Fabletics, which is a clothing company that focuses on being “stylish and sells high quality gear at an accessible price point.”

Fabletics outfits range from $25-$65 and include a top, bottoms and jacket. Target Target is the second largest discount retailer in the United States and is a store many women are known for going in with one thing on their list, but leaving with 10. Target has always had a quality workout line called C9 champion. C9 Champion activewear is cheap and keeps in good shape for years to come. For men, this is a different story. Some men

care about how they look and some simply want the comfort that the clothes provide you. Matt Koziy, senior in computer engineering, said his favorite brand is Nike because it was cheaper than Under Armour. “I buy dri-fit shirts and shorts and always free run shoes” Koziy said. “Nike sometimes has a bad rep for being too expensive, but I have recently purchased a shirt, shorts and shoes for under $100 at the Nike outlet factory.”

By Rebecca.Haars @iowastatedaily.com From getting a snag in a pair of tights on the first day of wearing them to getting foundation on the collar of a white shirt, these fashion mishaps can be avoided or reversed by a few simple tricks. Wearing a pair of tights for the first time and getting a hole in them before the end of the day can be one of the most frustrating feelings. Two different hacks can help avoid this misfortune. The first is a bit quicker than the second. Spraying a pair of tights with hairspray will add an extra waxy layer to the outside, preventing future holes and runs. The second trick is for the new pair of tights that have never been worn. Place the tights under water, gently squeeze it out, then freeze the tights for several hours in a plastic bag. After several hours, remove them to defrost at room temperature. Once they have thawed and dried they will be ready to go. Another misfortune some people encounter is uncomfortable shoes. Whether it’s heels, tennis shoes or a new pair of boots, almost every type of shoe causes irritation from not fitting correctly. A couple different types of problem-solving techniques can be used for this blister-causing issue. A fix to narrow shoes is filling two freezer bags with water, placing them into each shoe and letting it freeze for several hours. While the water freezes, it’ll gently expand the shoes. Another solution is putting on thicker socks, slipping into the pair of uncomfortable shoes and blasting them with a hot hairdryer to loosen the material, creating a better fit. Stains of all types are easily the worst kind of problem, especially the stains that do not come out by simply putting the piece of clothing through the washer and dryer. Three common troublesome stains are deodorant, oil and makeup. An easy way to get around those white marks from deodorant is to rub a dryer sheet on the area and watch as it slowly fades away. Oil is a trickier stain to get out. Pour baby powder on the oil mark and let it stand overnight. This process may take a few times before the oil is removed completely. Dawn dish detergent is also helpful when it comes to removing oil from clothing. Soaking the stained item in this soap may also take a few attempts. Liquid foundation is continuously finding its way on the collars of many shirts. Use shaving cream and a damp washcloth to erase these stains. There is no longer a need to buy a new pair of tights every week or change your shirt because of a simple deodorant mishap. These quick fixes will help prevent stressful moments, so you can go about your day as flawless as ever.

CRUZ WINS p1 who “support[s] life and marriage and religious liberty” and will “defend the Second Amendment.” Cruz went on to talk about terrorism, saying the United States needs a commander in chief “who will fulfill the most solemn commandment to keep our nation safe” and “who will call it by its name — radical Islam.” “If I am elected president, every militant on the face of the planet will know if you go and join ISIS … you are signing your death warrant,” Cruz proclaimed, to a huge applause from the crowd. Cruz also said he and his supporters have risen together to say “we are going to preserve this nation for our children.” “If American people stand together and say ‘we want our country back,’ there is no force in Washington that can stand against the American people, that can stand against the grass roots,” Cruz said.

“We are going to do this together.” Cruz also congratulated the other Republican hopefuls in his speech, stating the Republican party “is so blessed to have talented candidates.” The Cruz victory may bring up chatter about the role renewable fuels and ethanol play in the race — something pundits have said is an important issue among Iowans. Cruz has voiced support for phasing out the Renewable Fuel Standard, which prompted Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad to say he wanted to see Cruz “defeated.” Mack Shelley, university professor of political science, said the win may be a dig at Branstad, who has taken heat around the state for things like Medicaid privatization and education funding. Despite his second place finish after leading most Iowa and national polls, Trump gave a short speech at Sheraton Hotel in West Des Moines, say-

Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio gives one of his final speeches in Iowa during his watch party at the Marriott Hotel in Des Moines on Monday night. Rubio finished third in the Republican caucuses.

ing he “absolutely loves the people of Iowa,” was “honored” to come in second and congratulated Cruz on the victory. At the time of Trump’s speech around 9:45 p.m., Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were neck in neck for the Democratic victory; Clinton was at 48.9 percent and Sanders at 49.6

percent. “I don’t know who’s gonna win between Bernie and Hillary …,” Trump said. “We will go on to get the Republican nomination, and we will move on to easily beat Hillary or Bernie or whoever the hell is up there” Shelley said the results do not help Trump leading up to New Hampshire’s

primary next week. “He didn’t give a concession speech,” Shelley said. “But his speech was way more subdued than you usually see from him.” Rubio, who completed the Iowa Caucus in third place, said he was pleased with the results and has his sights set on the general election in the coming months.

“For months they told us we had no chance,” Rubio said. “For months they told us that we offered too much optimism in a time of anger that we had no chance. “For months they told us that because we didn’t have the right endorsements or the right connections, that we have no chance.” The senator from Florida said he was “grateful” to Iowans, who “made a huge difference” in his campaign in Iowa. Like Trump, he also stated he would defeat whoever earned the Democratic nomination and “grow the conservative movement.” “This is not a time for waiting,” Rubio stated. “Everything that makes this nation great now hangs in the balance.” The Daily’s reporters Alex Hanson and Michalea Ramm contributed from Ames, Mitch Anderson from West Des Moines and Travis Charlson and Rakiah Bonjour from Des Moines.
