3 injured in drive-by shooting on Welch Avenue

By ISD Staff Four individuals have been arrested on attempted murder charges after three people were shot early Sunday morning in Campustown.

Terrion Maxfield, 20, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Desmon Siner, 19, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Charles Smith, 20, of Milwaukee, Wiscon-

sin; and Traveion Henry, 21, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, have been arrested for attempted murder, which is a Class B Felony.

A conviction on attempted murder carries a penalty of up to 50 years in prison, as it is a Class B Felony.

The Ames Police Department reported that both Maxfield and Siner were located at a hospital in Fort Dodge, Iowa, with gunshot

wounds. The suspect vehicle, a red passenger car, has also been located in the city, which is a little more than an hour away from Ames.

The shooting, which Ames Police believe stems from a fight earlier that evening outside a bar on Stanton Avenue and Chamberlain Street, occurred just after 1:30 a.m.

Ames Police Cmdr. Geoff Huff said that a short time after the fight,

or one of the occupants, but it is a possibility.

“In this case, the officers were right there when it happened and witnessed the shooting start,” Huff said. “It’s a really good thing they happened to be there ... it could have been a lot worse.”

Huff said the red car that was the “shooter car” then backed up,

in which two police officers were on scene to investigate, a red passenger car stopped along the 200 block of Welch Avenue and fired multiple shots into a crowd.

The individuals in the red passenger car were believed to have been involved in the earlier fight, according to police.

Huff said that the officers shot at the red passenger car. He is unsure whether the officers hit the vehicle

‘SEXY SILVER ROSES’

By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com Write-in Student Government presidential candidates Anthony Chavez and Emeline Hanscel are driven by difference – a platform the two hope to campaign on to celebrate the diverse voices of Iowa State.

Launching their campaign website, Facebook and Twitter over the weekend, Chavez and Hanscel decided to run for president and vice president, respectively, after the Student Government meeting Wednesday night.

Chavez is a junior in political science and Hanscel is a sophomore in accounting. The two, should they get elected, hope to tackle topics under their administration that would focus on tuition, transparency and sexual violence awareness.

“As conservative representatives, we want to decrease spending across the board, be transparent in our actions and rebuild a trust in government with the student body,” their website reads.

Chavez and Hanscel are both actively involved in ISU College Republicans and hope to make sure that underrepresented campus groups are both better heard and supported.

“We’re not here for us. We can have our views on what we’re connected to, but we want to make sure that we’re running [for] the student body; what they want,” Hanscel said.

Chavez and Hanscel also hope to find and help implement a Veishea replacement. According to their website, they hope to “work with administration to build a springtime event that still showcases the excellence and success they have here on campus.”

But Chavez and Hanscel see this as a benefit to them, as they feel they can add a different and outside perspective to Student Government.

“What makes a community as large as Iowa State great is the ability for these diverse communities to come together to solve problems and work out issues and have conversations,” Chavez said.

Chavez and Hanscel also hope to build a healthier relationship with administration and Iowa legislators.

Something Hanscel and Chavez also feel separates them from the other candidates is their focus on military outreach.

The Vagina Monologues shine light upon women’s issues

By Jacey.Goetzman @iowastatedaily.com The stage lights shone down.

Each performer wore variations of black. Black dresses, black shirts and pants. They each looked out to the audience with a clear purpose.

They were present to deliver The Vagina Monologues.

The Vagina Monologues, written by Eve Ensler in 1996, were brought about after Ensler conducted hundreds of interviews with women on the views of their sex, relationships and violence.

They were then transformed into the pieces known today.

The Vagina Monologues were brought to Iowa State in 2001 by a student , Alissa Stoehr. She is now part of the directing team of The Vagina Monologues.

Stoehr, a senior in political science at the time, was at the national conference for the Feminist Majority Foundation in Baltimore when she heard Ensler read part of the monologues.

“It was very interesting to hear her celebrate women’s voices and to give voice to other women who didn’t know that [they had one],” Stoehr said.

Stoehr’s interest wouldn’t end there.

“That’s where I first heard [the monologues],” Stoehr said. “And

$200 it Depos D per BE

[I thought], ‘We need to bring this to campus.’”

That year, Stoehr produced the performance with Pat Miller, director of the lectures program.

“I thought it’d be fun to bring it to campus and have anyone that identified as a woman [be] able to perform in it,” Stoehr said.

Stoehr’s interaction with The Vagina Monologues would continue for several years.

In 2007, while working toward her master’s degree, Stoehr performed in the monologues herself.

A decade later, now in 2017, she is part of the directing team.

The Vagina Monologues address numerous issues seen by women. Among some of them are

sexual pleasure, sexual assault and reclamation of slang referring to female genitals.

The performance is seen by many as empowering, but not without consequence of being problematic to others as it does include stereotyping groups by moans, a positive representation of prostitution and the issue of inclusivity to women who don’t have vaginas and those who have vaginas but do not identify as women.

Regardless, a crowd still comes out to see the performance each year.

“It’s nice to see that people still care after all these years,” Stoehr said. “Especially now, with ex-

treme budget cuts ... [the fact that] people are still willing to come out and maybe step out of their comfort zone for a good cause.”

The performers’ efforts, and The Vagina Monologues, primarily benefited an anti-violence group within the community, Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support. The remainder of the proceeds went to V-Day, a global activist movement to end violence against women.

Vagina Happy Fact, performed

by Ruth Hines, talks about the clitoris and how it is the only organ in the body — as Hines said — “designed purely for pleasure.”

Delta Gamma makes waves at fundraiser

By Emily.Hammer @iowastatedaily.com Although it’s one of the oldest sororities in the United States, Delta Gamma was introduced to Iowa State last semester as the Eta Psi chapter, its 150th collegiate chapter.

The new chapter hosted its first philanthropy, “Anchor Splash,” on Saturday at Beyer Hall.

Anchor Splash is a national event for Delta Gamma chapters, though some smaller chapters might host “Anchor Games.”

The fundraiser featured seven teams composed of greek chapters, student organizations and student groups that competed in three relay events and a synchronized swimming routine.

President Amy Huynh described the relays as “ridiculous things we’re trying to make boys do.”

One relay, called the “dolphin,” involved competitors swimming down a lane while pushing a beach ball only with their head or face.

Another relay, “save the mermaid,” required a coach to sit in a tube and be pushed down a lane by one swimmer, and then back by another.

The last relay, “rubbery ducky,” required participants to sit in a tube with their hands and feet hanging over the edge and then push themselves down the lane with their hands and feet.

Wes Smith, participant of the team “Da Boyz,” was excited to get into the pools and start the event.

“Have fun, raise awareness of the philanthropy and it’s a good use of a Saturday night,” Smith said about why he signed up.

“We’re just boys having fun.”

Huynh also explained the significance of all the anchors as-

‘Close-knit brotherhood’ Fraternity supports fight against cancer

By Emily.Hammer @iowastatedaily.com Fraternity, as a noun, is defined as the state or feeling of friendship and mutual support within a group.

On a university campus, however, a fraternity is thought of as an organization of college men formed primarily for social purposes. But these are only second to the feeling of brotherhood in a fraternity.

Friday night, the solidarity of Alpha Sigma Phi was exemplified, as brothers raised money for another who had to leave Iowa State due

Presidents’ Day shares complex meanings

By Talon.Delaney @iowastatedaily.com Former presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln may not have celebrated their birthdays on this day, but now Americans do.

Presidents’ Day was established in the 1970s as part of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act after originally being observed as Washington Day on the date of his actual birthday, Feb. 22.

Some states, such as Texas, still only honor Washington on Presidents’ Day, while others offer their own variations leading to confusion over what the purpose of Presidents’ Day actually is.

This confusion over when and what is being celebrated is something that has led Stacy Cordery, professor of history, to think that this holiday may not even be worth celebrating.

New York, Connecticut and Mississippi are all states that honor the same day as “Washington’s Day” rather than “Presidents’ Day,” and California alternates between Presidents’ Day and celebrating Abraham Lincoln’s birthday every other year.

Presidents’ Day is recognized nationwide on the third Monday of February, except in Georgia, where the same holiday will not be celebrated until Dec. 24.

Iowa is among states that do not recognize Presidents’ Day or Washington’s Day as a state holiday, but some banks will be closed today nonetheless.

Cordery said Washington’s Day was an appreciated and understood holiday during the Great Depression and World War II, a time when people “revered Washington” exponentially more than we do today.

Washington’s Day was established in 1879 and was recognized emphati-

cally up to the mid-20th century for his war accolades and the precedents he set as America’s first president.

The holiday’s relevance declined since, as did Washington’s popularity.

Washington’s Day was later conflated with other iconic birthdays, such as those of Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson, into Presidents’ Day and assigned to the third Monday in February with the 1968 Uniform Holiday Bill.

Presidents’ Day joins Memorial Day, Veterans Day and Thanksgiving on the list of holidays that boast no relationship to the date they are recognized.

Cordery said people began criticizing the flaws of Washington and other founding fathers in the 1960s and ‘70s in what she described as a “new field” of history.

The signers of the Declaration of Independence preserved democracy to a certain extent, but they were also slave owners who engineered a sociopolitical environment where power resided solely among land-owning white men.

This kind of critique encouraged the Uniform Holiday Bill, which also saw Monday holidays as inherently more efficient than mid-week celebrations.

“Presidents’ Day was never meant to celebrate the office of the presidency,” Cordery pointed out, adding that the U.S. government is a three-part system where no branch ought to be formally celebrated above the others.

“In that sense, it’s unAmerican,” she said. “Why not have a ‘Congress Day,’ or a day to celebrate the Senate? There should be no special treatment for the president.”

Generations of changing values turned Presidents’ Day into an imprecise celebration.

to his mother’s medical concerns.

Elan Leykin joined Alpha Sigma Phi at Iowa State two years ago but returned to Wisconsin recently to support his mother as she fights late-stage colorectal cancer.

In response, Harold Larke and Ian Walsh started a fundraiser in which all proceeds will go toward the Leykin family.

But they took the brotherhood one step further with the fundraiser, called Alpha Shave A Guy, and are giving people the chance to pay to shave — or wax — volunteering brothers’ heads.

The feeling of togetherness is furthered by a brotherhood director, a position in Alpha Sigma Phi and other fraternities, who sets up events to help brothers bond with one another.

Tyler Palmquist, vice president of Alpha Sigma Phi, feels that all of the events put on promote community between the men.

He sees the events as ways to bond with people.

Some of the events include paintball fights, Super Bowl parties and food fights. They have also featured professional speakers, including Northwestern Mutual.

“We are a close-knit brotherhood,” Palmquist said. “There [are] no niches around the house.

You are just always welcome where you go.”

Palmquist’s sentiments were echoed in the comments from Dawit Tilahun, member of Alpha Sigma Phi. “The brotherhood here is definitely very close to a bunch of

gentlemen,” Tilahun said. “We focus hard on academics along with really just allowing brothers to flourish through different means.”

Tilahun was impressed with the turnout at Alpha Shave A Guy and said that several brothers had been shaved completely bald. He sees this event, as well as other brotherhood events, as a way of giving back to the community.

By the end of the night, Alpha Shave A Guy had raised more than $900 and is continuing to ask for donations through itsGoFundMe. Although Leykin had to leave Iowa State, he is now attending a college closer to home so he can better attend to his mother. He also rejoined Alpha Sigma Phi at his new college to continue feeling that sense of brotherhood.

Hybrid careers find new markets

By Nic.Wackerly @iowastatedaily.com Industrial designers lead the way in initiating new technology, and in this age of increasing amounts of data, knowledge and powerful electronics, the designers are having success by taking a more human approach.

Hybrid design careers work on advanced design research to discover the newest needs and wants of society. Siobhan Gregory, senior lecturer in design and design research at Wayne State University in Detroit, is at the forefront of the movement.

She presented her lecture, “Hybrid Careers in Design: Industrial Design + Design Anthropology,” on Friday at Coover Hall.

The lecture focused on the advancement of hybrid careers in design and how it can create new ways to find solutions.

Gregory’s hybrid career centers on combining industrial design and design anthropology. She used a quote from one of her for-

mer professors to explain how the two blend together.

“If design is the artificial world, the man-made world, then it is the perfect match for anthropology, which is about studying all aspects of the human world,” said Dori Tunstall, dean of the faculty of design at OCAD University.

In studying the aspects of the human world, one can find the opportunities where innovation can still happen. Anthropology helps designers find that space.

“What we want to do is find the new categories, the new markets,” Gregory said.

“Where the new areas of opportunity are for industrial designers is where we don’t have answers yet.”

Gregory examines this topic with a wealth of experience. She started as an automotive designer for General Motors and later became the lead women’s footwear designer for the Keds Corporation, according to her biography from Wayne State University.

She now uses her experience and knowledge of anthropology and design

to help educate designers at Wayne State University, as well as with local community projects in Detroit.

“What I mainly focus on [in teaching] is humancentered approaches to the design process,” Gregory said. “I try to get my students face-to-face with the end user.”

The face-to-face interactions help the students understand what is going on with what the end user wants, which can help with the design process and

coming up with new ideas.

“It is having the foresight to identify that new space that I think is really where the industrial design profession can become extremely competitive and really grow in new ways,” Gregory said.

“And I think that comes with deep observation and understanding of human experiences.”

The event was sponsored by the industrial design department with support from the Women’s and Diversity Grants Program.

Ready to Run promotes women for office

By Rachel.Ori @iowastatedaily.com With a series of workshops aimed at encouraging women to run for elective office, work on campaigns and become leaders in their community, the Ready to Run campaign kicked off Friday at the Holiday Inn Conference Center in Ames.

The program, put on by the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics, has been offered through Iowa State since 2007.

Dianne Bystrom, head of the Catt Center, said the program filled up within days after registration became available, leading to more spots be-

ing opened up. A total of 115 participants took part in the workshops.

The program takes place over a total of three days, spread out over three months.

Day one began with an introduction to Iowa politics and elections, and ended with tips on how to launch one’s own campaign.

Linda Merken of Ames returned to Ready to Run for the second time, this time coming off a county supervisor campaign.

Merken lost her campaign but came back to Ready to Run to further hone her skills.

“If men don’t win [a campaign], they’ll run again, while women often won’t,” she said. “[Ready

to Run] gives you the tools to participate and helps you know what to expect.”

Monic Behnken, assistant professor of sociology, participated in the program to learn the “nuts and bolts” of running a campaign and enjoyed the bipartisan nature of the panels in the program.

“We need to come together for a well-functioning government,” Behnken said.

This year’s program comes months after one of the most historical election cycles in recent history.

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was the first woman to be the official nominee for a major political party.

Many women, Democrats and Republicans alike, were inspired by Clinton’s efforts in her presidential campaign and fueled that inspiration into political action after the results of the 2016 election.

Cyndi Hanson, commissioner on the city and state level from Sioux City, attended the program because she wanted to get more involved in politics.

“The little tips on scheduling and prioritizing really helped,” Hanson said.

Gina Derez of Ames also attended the program and is considering a run for the Ames school board.

Improving transportation in Ames

By Alisha.James @iowastatedaily.com The Ames Bicycle Coalition works to advance safe and healthy transportation through biking and walking. Part of this includes spreading awareness at events like the Ames Bike Summit on Friday afternoon.

The event was co-sponsored by the Ames Bicycle Coalition and Healthiest Ames in partnership with the Ames Public Library.

The focus of the summit was to improve access to all users of transportation throughout Ames and to provide insight into how other communities have been tackling similar issues.

Tony Filippini, transportation planner with Ames Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, hoped to “educate and to reach out with the community in terms of what the planning processes are with the city of Ames and transportation.”

A discussion panel wrapped up the summit, including Eric Snyder with the Ames Police Department.

Snyder enjoys seeing events like these pop up and attending them because he gets to listen to people’s struggles on a more personal level.

“I get to hear from people that are actually out there doing these things and out there moving through the community and trying to travel and dealing with the troubles of doing that,” Snyder said.

tinue conversations about what’s going on in Ames to improve safety for bikers, walkers and drivers.

For him, the main point of the summit was to continue the conversation and help people communicate better about safety and concerns with biking and walking.

Citizens from Mason City, Iowa, also spoke at the summit, partly about their “blue zones” project.

The city set up blue zones committees, whose goal is to improve community health through better diets and more physical activity.

Although Ames originally tried to get involved in the project, it was not selected.

“ W e h a d s o m e m e mbers from the Mason City Blue Zones down here to talk a little bit about what they’ve done and how that’s worked for them and that process there as well,” Libbey said. “We had someone from ISU’s facilities management talking about what ISU is doing as far as the biking and walking as well.”

Libbey believes that drivers, cyclists and walkers “need to be respectful of each other,” which he said would help reduce incidents.

“It was a lot of the same issues we regularly hear about transportation and the way the different modes of transportation interact,” Snyder said in

“What was most surprising was the number of questions about pedestrians and walkability. At a bike summit, I expected more of it to be focused on biking. But I think we’re dealing with people that are just active and out and moving more than the average person.”

Snyder said many people wanted to know what the city is doing to help congestion, often complaining about lights. “... We all have to realize we’re all in this together and we have to respect each other,” Snyder said.

“We have to be patient with each other and respect each other.”

Of all the stars, all the planets, all the solar systems, all the galaxies and all our ever-expanding universe over, it is clear that the only way forward involves keeping our little section of this planet Earth to ourselves, and ourselves only.

Seclusion is only way forward Why I support President Trump’s immigration ban

By Alex.Felker @iowastatedaily.com

T

his good state of Iowa nestles itself comfortably in the middle of these United States of America, as its 29th incorporated state, covering 56,273 square miles or 1.5 percent of the country’s total surface area. The nation itself occupies 3,796,742 square miles, or 1.58 percent of our entire planet Earth’s total surface area.

This same planet Earth, indolently spinning like a top around its axis at 1,040 miles per hour, lazily revolving about the sun once every 365 days — at a speed of 67,000 miles per hour — comfortably nestles its own self in the warm embrace of our solar system, which is a mere 5.6 billion or so miles wide. This solar system, by the way, orbits around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy at a cool 492,126 miles per hour.

It is easy to get lost in the minutiae of these minor calculations, however, and so we had better get to the real hardtack before long. Our galaxy — this very Milky Way — moves at a velocity something near 373 miles per second, and is, by modest estimation, 100,000 light-years wide and in possession of 100 billion planets — to say nothing of its hundreds of billions of stars (the oldest of which are nearly as old as the universe itself).

This galaxy, meanwhile, comfortably snuggles itself in the midst of something called the Virgo Supercluster, which contains roughly 100 other galaxies apart from our own.

The Virgo Supercluster, incidentally, is one of about 10 million superclusters known to the observable universe. It should be mentioned,

however, that it was recently discovered to be but a lobe of a greater supercluster, which is centered about something ominously so-called the Great Attractor.

This Great Attractor — but a subpart of the greater Laniakea Supercluster — wraps its celestial arms around a trifling 100,000 or so other galaxies, stretched out over maybe 520 million light-years. But as aforementioned, the Laniakea Supercluster that encompasses it is yet one of 10 million others that each call our massive, ever-expanding universe home.

But enough of these trivialities.

How about some real fourth-quarter zingers?

The state of Iowa is 171 years old — exactly 70 years the younger to these United States of America. The continent of North America, meanwhile, is generally believed to have been settled by Siberian migrants some 12,000 or so years ago — meaning that our nation has existed for roughly 2 percent of the land’s settled history.

Civilization, as we know it, has been around for perhaps 10,000 or so years. The homo sapiens species of today — evolved from our 6 million year old ancestors — is itself an estimated 200,000 years old, meaning that we’ve been farming and governing and warring for just the last 5 percent of our known existence.

Life, by the way, has been around for an estimated 3.8 billion years. It took about 2 billion of these years to produce a single multi-celled organism, however, and it was not until the last 40 million years or so that an animal more than a few centimeters long made an appearance. Our species, then, being a meager 200 mil-

lenniums old, has been stumbling and skipping and jumping and running about our planet’s surface for just the last one-half of 1 percent of the time that has elapsed since that first miniature shag-rug biota survived its first animalian second of life.

But now to bring things back around: If my analysis has shown anything, it has shown the nature of our own inarguable self-importance. The nature of our own planet’s self-importance.

The nature of our own species’ selfimportance, the nature of our own country’s self-importance and the nature of our own people’s self-importance — our own people’s, that is; not those dirty others.

Those dirty others — those immigrant folk — are an unknown quantity. They are not like us. They are different from us. They are not as trustworthy as us. They are to be feared. They are to be avoided. They are to be kept at a healthy distance.

They are to be thought the worse of, labelled, categorized, stigmatized, stereotyped, alienated, slurred, belittled and oppressed. They are not to be let into our country. Such is only fitting. We must move toward seclusion. This is the way forward.

And so, in short, this is why I wholeheartedly support the president’s immigration ban. I support anyway in which we might isolate ourselves from our brothers and our sisters.

We’re better off on our own. We simply aren’t in this together.

We wouldn’t want any of those disagreeable immigrants fouling our bit of the universe.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Gun control will never work in America

By Caleb Jansen Freshman in civil engineering Recently, I read an opinion article published by the Iowa State Daily that was written in hopes of convincing readers that gun control was the answer to solving gun violence.

After reading the article, I found that I disagreed with the vast majority of all the points made. And since I don’t believe that the Iowa State Daily gets a large number of articles written from the right side of the political spectrum, I decided that I would write this to hopefully convince others that gun control is one of the worst things that could be done to solve the problem of gun violence.

First and foremost, using a law to try to regulate the use of guns will be extremely ineffec-

tive. The main evidence of this comes obviously from the city of Chicago. In 1982, Chicago passed a law that banned the use of handguns. On paper, this law would hopefully be very useful in preventing gun violence. Fewer guns would seem to equal less gun crime.

However, from 1982 until 2010 — when the law was eventually ruled unconstitutional — 59 percent of all murders were committed by handguns. But how could this be? Handguns were illegal.

See, my main point here is that if people want to own a gun, they will certainly own a gun, regardless of any law standing in their way. You can also look to America’s drug problem as exhibit B. Drugs have been illegal in America for hundreds of years, yet drugs continue to be a huge problem for the United

States, no matter what regulations are passed. The same would be true for stricter gun control. Just because a law is put in place doesn’t mean guns will magically disappear from the streets.

My second point is in regard to self-defense. There is only one thing that can stop a bad person with a gun, and that is a good person with a gun.

As much as the left would like to stand in a circle and sing Kumbaya to promote peace and well-being, sometimes violence can only be prevented and stopped with more violence.

In America, the average police response time is 10 minutes. In a possible mass-casualty shooting situation, that is about 10 minutes too long. But if someone with a firearm is able to make an attempt at terminating the threat, then I say more

power to them.

Yes, this means making concealed carry available in more places, including college campuses. Gun-free zones only create soft targets, and for those who are hell-bent on causing as much damage as possible, there is no better place to do it than a place where effective self-defense is illegal.

Overall, as much as gun control may seem like a good idea, the only result would be taking guns out of the hands of lawabiding citizens, and allowing criminals who couldn’t care less about the laws free access to a defenseless America. In a world with less crime, gun control could very well be an answer to eliminating gun violence.

However, in a world plagued by violence and evil, gun control is certainly not the answer to making America a safer place.

Collective bargaining bill unneeded, imprudent This past Thursday, the Iowa House and Senate passed their highly controversial, heavily protested collective bargaining bill, which strips a variety of negotiation rights from Iowa’s public employees. Such rights include vacation time, health insurance and overtime pay. To add, the bill includes some other considerations that make it harder for employee negotiators to raise wages.

Since the 1970s, Iowa has enjoyed relative peace in its labor-management relations. This bill will serve to upset them, naturally, but there must’ve been some call for its making — right?

Interestingly enough, just hours before the bill being passed — and before it could be signed into law — more than 140 Iowa school districts, including Des Moines and Ames, raced to finalize employment contracts made impossible by the pending legislation.

Why would they bother with such nonsense? If this bill was supposedly filling a policy need, as its Republican supporters evidently believed — not a single Democrat voted in favor, and six Republicans voted against — then shouldn’t these school boards just have waited until the bill’s signing, and then squashed their employees’ grumblings with the newfound power instilled in them by the state’s representatives?

The answer is a simple one: the bill clearly lacks the support our state’s Republicans apparently believed warranted such a lightning-fast shuffling through of the legislation through the State House and Senate. What’s more, the discomfiting — or, just as relevantly, the allegedly discomfiting — manner in which the bill was passed will serve to heighten tensions and draw bolder the Legislature’s partisan lines as our new political season really gets its engine revved up.

Why are we so concerned with cutting back union rights for teachers and police officers and other public officials? Of all the myriad problems our state faces, why is this supposed issue even on our Legislature’s radar? There are other places cuts could be made.

There are other sectors and industries in which these so-called “innovations” — as the bill’s supporters repeatedly touted it possessed — could be supplied. But instead, the Legislature chooses to defund and strip the rights of its own public employees.

Our public employees perform the most integral, oftentimes dangerous jobs that our state requires. They deserve the platform their unions provide them with, and to strip them of it on such flimsy reasoning is an inexplicable move.

Beyond just that, an apparent precedent has been set by our state’s Republican majority House and Senate. Evidently, out of a mere ideological desire to assert dominancy, more uncalled for, unneeded, imprudent legislation may soon be shuttling its way through our state’s Legislature and making its way to the governor’s desk in such bizarre fashion.

Cyclones peaking

at right time

By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa State may be playing its best basketball of the season — and it comes at the perfect time.

After falling to then-No. 7 West Virginia 85-72 on Jan. 31 at Hilton Coliseum — the Cyclones’ worst home loss in seven years — Iowa State rattled off three wins in its next four games, including a road win against then-No. 2 Kansas, one of the best road victories in program history.

On Saturday, the Cyclones kept the good times rolling.

Iowa State (17-9, 9-5 Big 12) cruised to victory against TCU (17-10, 6-8 Big 12), winning 84-71 at Hilton Coliseum for its third consecutive win and its fourth in its last five games. The Cyclones have won their last three games by a combined 37 points.

The victory also put Iowa State in a three-way tie for second place in the Big 12 with Baylor and West Virginia — two teams that have beaten the Cyclones this season, but remain on the schedule for one more regular season matchup.

After suffering a couple of losses to underwhelming teams in Big 12 play, the Cyclones may be starting to come around with just four games to play in the regular season.

The Big 12 Tournament starts in just over two weeks, and the NCAA Tournament lurks just around the corner.

“There were a couple of rocky patches at the start, but we knew we were going to be here,” said guard Naz Mitrou-Long, who put up 25 points and seven rebounds against TCU. “We believed in ourselves. And here we are. That being said, it’s not done. That’s been our motto the whole time — win the day. So it’s an awesome position to be in, but again, we’re not done.”

The surge in success has a lot to do with freshman forward Solomon Young stepping into the starting lineup.

Since Young started against Oklahoma on Feb. 11, the Cyclones have seemed like a more physical team. In the win against Kansas State on Wednesday night, Iowa State out-rebounded the Wildcats 32-31 — the first time the team has won the battle on the boards in Big 12 play.

Young played 26 minutes Saturday and had four points and four rebounds, while the Cyclones and Horned Frogs had 28 boards each.

Forward Darrell Bowie, who didn’t play against Kansas State, had six points and four rebounds in 16 minutes.

“I thought we were more physical with [TCU],” coach Steve Prohm said. “Solomon did help, but I thought Darrell helped. I thought he stepped in and did some good things.”

While the team recognizes that it has been playing well, there’s still much to do.

And on Monday, the Cyclones will have a quick turnaround when they take on Texas Tech after just a 48-hour break.

“That’s when you want to play your best basketball — late in the season,” Mitrou-Long said.

“We’re starting to do that. We’re putting some complete games together. We’re putting together some team wins. It was a collective group effort.

We feel good about it, but we’ve got to get a huge road win.”

In a Big 12 climate that is as competitive as any conference in college basketball, Iowa State can’t afford to get too high with so much on the line down the stretch.

“The more you win this time of the year, the more the games mean,” Prohm said. “That’s just it. Our focus needs to be on that. We’re playing well. But this league can humble you quick if you start praising yourself too much.”

Cyclone Hockey wins league championship

By Mary.Rominger @iowastatedaily.com One championship down, two to go.

Cyclone Hockey ended its regular season on a high note, sweeping a No. 3-ranked Ohio team on the road to win its league, the Central States Collegiate Hockey League.

The Cyclones won 3-2 Friday night and 1-0 Saturday night.

Cyclone Hockey has only beaten the Bobcats once at Bird Arena in the last 10 years — in 2014. And the last time the Cyclones won the regular season CSCHL title was in 2002.

In a playoff hockey atmosphere with two sellouts, the Bobcats had all elements in their favor to come out on top.

In game one of the series, the CSCHL conference rivals both came out with high intensity and played scoreless for nearly the first 10 minutes of the opening period.

At the 9:47 mark of the period, momentum shifted in favor of Ohio when senior Joey Breslin disrupted the silence with a powerplay goal after Jake Arroyo was sent to the box for high-sticking.

The Cyclones were unable to get any shots off in the first half of that first frame, and, on 16 Ohio shots, two got past Moser to give the Bobcats a strong 2-0 lead.

For the bulk of the second period, both teams exchanged scoring opportunities, but neither were able to find their way past Ohio goaltender Jimmy Thomas.

That was until Cyclone Hockey’s rookie Anthony Song took a shot from the left face-off circle that went in the far side to cut the deficit in half.

The Cyclones continued their fight into the third, when forward A.J. Gullick-

The Cyclone Hockey team celebrates a 6-2 victory against Utah on Feb. 10 at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena. The Cyclones ended their regular season this weekend with sweep against No. 3 Ohio.

Now, heading into the rush to grab the team’s postseason play, the team third goal.

“We wouldn’t have won will need to continue its on Friday if it weren’t for intensity.

“I think if we continue the play of Derek Moser,” coach Jason Fairman said. the intensity, games will be that “And [he] type of atcertainly “Our work ethic mosphere p l a y e d was really good where you great again can’t make [Saturday]. this weekend and any misDerek Moswe stuck to our takes, and if er will be systems.” you button the player down in all of the week, Derek Moser areas of the he was outGoalie game and standing we conthis weektinue to play this way, I’d end.”

aspect too.”

But the weekend wouldn’t have been completed if it weren’t for the

strength in net by Moser.

Moser stopped a surplus of shots in a nearly-perfect performance and bailed out his team when Ohio established convincing offensive pressure during the series.

Cyclone Hockey’s starting goalie has been a question all season long.

Fairman felt like Moser was the guy for the job this past weekend, and his strong performance lends itself to more playing time going forward.

“We thought he had a good week at practice,” Fairman said. “And he has played in these pressurepacked games. We were hoping that someone would establish that No. 1 position.”

The team felt no different about Moser’s performance and attributes a lot of the success to his bigtime stops in net.

“He really stood on his head for us,” captain Chase Rey said. “Could’ve been different outcomes if it wasn’t for him, so I can’t say enough about how Moser played, and I think we are confident with any goalie that we put in.”

With the banner being one of the three titles the Cyclones can win this season, the road hasn’t come to an end yet.

Next week, the Cyclones will hit the road for the three-day CSCHL tournament in Bensenville, Illinois, and will take the next week to prepare for the ACHA National Tournament.

Dresser to announce ISU coaching decision

By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com Virginia Tech released a joint statement with wrestling coach Kevin Dresser on Sunday about Dresser’s future.

“I’m scheduled to visit with Iowa State officials later [Sunday] evening by phone,” Dresser said in the statement. “I am going to make a decision with my family later [Sunday] evening and will announce it [Monday] afternoon.”

Sources close to the Iowa State wrestling program told the Daily that Dresser had already accepted the job.

Multiple reports on the Iowa State and Virginia Tech side, however, have said it is not a done deal.

Iowa State Athletic Director Jamie Pollard declined to comment Saturday night.

“Obviously the in-season timing of this situation is not ideal,” Virginia Tech athletic director Whit Babcock said. “We’ve been in conversations with Kevin [Dresser] for the past two weeks regarding his potential interest in the Iowa State opportunity and we believe he should remain at Tech.”

Iowa State has a rich history in wrestling, but in recent years, the program has found itself underperforming. It culminated when current coach Kevin Jackson resigned Jan. 31. Iowa State is currently 1-12.

Dresser, 54, was named the 201516 National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) coach of the year after guiding the Hokies to a

fourth-place finish in the NCAA Championships. That season, eight Virginia Tech wrestlers made the NCAAs, and six of them earned All-America honors.

Virginia Tech was the Humboldt, Iowa, native’s first collegiate coaching position. Dresser turned a middling program into a perennial power.

While he didn’t coach any individual national champions, he had no problem churning out AllAmericans.

Dresser wrestled under Dan Gable at the University of Iowa, where he was the 1986 142-pound national champion.

Former Iowa State forward Georges Niang was in the crowd for the Iowa State men’s basketball game against TCU on Saturday.

Legend makes return to Hilton Niang: ‘It feels good to be back here’

By Aaron.Marner @iowastatedaily.com Georges Niang, Iowa State’s No. 2 all-time leading scorer, returned to Ames over the weekend to watch his former school take on TCU. Niang graduated in 2016 after guiding Iowa State to two Sweet 16 appearances, two Big 12 Tournament championships and a first team All-Big 12 senior season.

“This actually brought back some memories,” Niang said. “It feels good to be back here, and I mean, it’s gonna be weird and interesting at the same time to be here as a spectator instead of part of the show.”

Niang said he has kept in contact with his former college coach, Steve Prohm, throughout the season.

“Man, they beat Kansas at Kansas,” Niang said.

“I’m still jealous about that.

I don’t care what you say about this team, you have to respect them.”

Niang, who was drafted 50th overall by the Indiana Pacers in the 2016 NBA Draft, said he’s ”thankful to be part of a first-class organization.”

The Pacers have tweeted out videos of Niang doing

“rookie hazing” tasks such as buying donuts for teammates.

“That’s like the biggest tease because they don’t let me eat donuts, but I gotta get them for everybody else,” Niang said. “Some places we go have some really good donuts. I’ve never tasted them but I’ve seen them.”

Prohm had a lot of good things to say about Niang.

“Yeah, it’s great. I love Georges. He’s great for me,” Prohm said. “I was very fortunate to coach him, even if it was just the one year.

Hopefully, we can get more guys in here like him. Not just as a basketball player, but how they impact this program and the university.”

Prohm joked that Niang pays so much attention to Iowa State that he would probably send Prohm a game report once a week about what the team is doing right and wrong.

“I text him once a week to check on him, to make sure he’s doing well,” Prohm said.

“He does a good job reaching out to say good luck or great win. We beat Kansas, and he was ecstatic. And he was just as happy when we won the other night. He’s great for me, and he’s great for this university.”

The 11 Iowa State wrestling seniors and their family members completely covered two sides of the mat at Hilton Coliseum, forming a 90-degree angle.

The crowd voiced their appreciation for the men who had spent four or more years of their life on the mat in the Harold Nichols wrestling room and at Hilton Coliseum.

Senior night appreciation was followed with an absolute disaster in Iowa State’s dual with No. 13 Minnesota.

Only seniors Earl Hall and Gabe Moreno managed to win in the Golden Gopher’s 40-7 dismantling of the Cyclone wrestling program Sunday afternoon, the worst home loss in program history.

The Cyclones were scoreless at intermission.

No. 10 Hall faced No. 17 Mitch McKee to start the second half.

The pair traded off takedowns and reversals, but Hall took a 12-6 lead going into the final period.

Hall’s chose neutral, having success there all match Before he got set, he motioned the crowd to get excited.

“I just wanted to hear the crowd behind me,” Hall said. “I just wanted to get Hilton jumping one more time.”

Hall finished the match with a 16-9 decision.

Hall looked out to the cheering crowd and pointed around to the fans, bumping his fist to his heart.

“It felt like I gave them what they wanted tonight,” Hall said.

Moreno followed it up two matches later with an 8-0 major decision.

would have came through stronger, though,” he said.

In a way, it was also senior night for coach Kevin Jackson and his staff, who will not be returning next season after finishing the dual season 1-12. Jackson announced he was resigning in late January.

It was disappointing to not perform at Hilton, but Jackson could at least celebrate with Moreno and Hall one last time.

After his match, Hall ran to each coach and hugged them. He’s built a personal connection with all four men, but the strongest one is with Jackson.

Hall has said before that he will do whatever he can to make Jackson’s last season special.

“It’s like [he’s] my dad,” Hall said. “I really, really love that man. The only thing I can do is go out there and compete for him, that’s all he’s ever [wanted].”

ROSES p1 will kick off Monday. Bethmari Marquez, freshman in animal ecology, said the week is also a chance for members of the greek and non-greek community to come together.

Marquez hails from Puerto Rico. She joined Lambda Theta Nu in fall 2016.

“When I came to Iowa State University, I joined a traditional sorority,” Marquez said. “I was craving something more from sisterhood.”

After attending “Meet the Greeks,” an event hosted by Iowa State’s Multicultural Greek Council, Marquez realized she had found her place on campus through Lambda Theta Nu. She felt that members of the sorority bore the sisterhood that she sought.

The Alpha Epsilon chapter consists of 14 student members. It is part of the Multicultural Greek Council, which includes nine other multicultural sororities and fraternities.

Once she arrived at the university, she wanted to know more information on how she could join the organization.

“But whatever she was involved in empowered her and allowed her to be the

When Banda was in high school she found a role model in a student who was attending Iowa State.

Banda said the student shared the same life experiences. The student was a member of Lambda Theta Nu. “While I was in high school, I saw she was involved with an organization full of girls who held their fingers up,” Banda said. “I just wanted to

woman she is now.”

Banda joined Lambda Theta Nu in spring 2014 during her freshmen year.

She is a part of theta class.

She is the designated “deuce,” or No. 2 in her recruited class.

Since joining Lambda Theta Nu, Banda has focused on her academics while staying true to her sorority, as she believes it is not about the number of members in the sorority but the hard work each sister puts in every day.

Banda said she is proud of her chapter.

The chapter has grown in numbers since she

joined in 2014.

Lambda, the 11th letter of the Greek alphabet, bears a meaning that stands true to Lambda Theta Nu, as well as the Lambda family in the greek community.

“To be a Lambda is special because you surround yourself with people you never imagined being friends with,” Banda said.

“Once you are a Lambda, you share values [with others] that make you one — the values only a Lambda knows.”

Lambda Theta Nu was founded by 18 women at Chico State University in California on March 11,1986. The 18 founding women, or “founding mothers,” were dedicated to starting an organization that would meet the needs of Latinas in higher education, according to the organization’s website.

The sorority was founded on three pillars — academic excellence, community service and sisterhood.

These pillars were established to allow the sorority to foster a legacy of prosperity for its members as they navigate higher education.

Community service is through the Tijeras National Philanthropy Program, Lambda Theta Nu’s philanthropy.

Tijeras, which means scissors in Spanish, symbolizes academic excellence, community service

and the bonding by one pin — the pin representing sisterhood.

Gabriella Ramos, faculty adviser and member of Lambda Theta Nu, is a founder of the organization’s Alpha Upsilon seeded at the University of Iowa.

“There [weren’t] many [greek organizations] to choose from at the University of Iowa at that time,” Ramos said. “I wanted something different.”

Ramos’ brother, and his close friend, are founders of the University of Iowa’s Sigma Lambda Beta chapter.

They peaked her interest in bringing Lambda Theta Nu to the University of Iowa. After doing research, Ramos fell in love with what the sorority stood for and became sure that it was something she wanted to join.

“It took us forever [to establish the chapter],” Ramos said. “It took us almost three years, but after those three years, we were finally able to bring the Alpha Upsilon chapter to the University of Iowa.”

Ramos joined Lambda Theta Nu in fall 2014, making her the founder and “ace,” or No. 1, of her class.

Ramos was appointed adviser for the Alpha Epsilon chapter of Lambda Theta Nu at the start of the spring 2017 semester.

“I love it because no matter what stage in your life you’re in, you can still

Machetes are also used when Lambda Theta Nu does its traditional step routine, or stroll, to symbolize the culture and strength of women.

Silver Rose Week will kick off with “Reading for Literacy” on the first floor of the Memorial Union.

“Reading for Literacy invites students and community members to donate a book to help stock up Little Free Libraries — free-standing child- height libraries in neighborhoods where children have few books at home and don’t often visit the public library — around the Ames community.

Tuesday will consist of study tables with sisters.

The week’s events will conclude Wednesday and Thursday with informational sessions.

give back to your organization,” Ramos said. “Now that I’m a professional, I can still use the skills I have learned before to be a successful full adviser.”

Every year, Lambda Theta Nu strives to raise money for resources that build Latina leadership skills and enhance Latinx literacy in an effort to increase accessibility to higher education for the Latinx community.

The organization’s representative colors, as well as machetes and roses, are symbols that represent Lambda Theta Nu. The silver rose symbolizes the femininity of every sister in Lambda Theta Nu. Members call themselves “Sexy Silver Roses.” Machetes represent the breaking down of social barriers between women and men.
