Police release names of victims, officers involved in shooting

By Danielle.Gehr @iowastatedaily.com The Ames Police Department released the names of the victims and officers from the Sunday morning shooting in Campustown.

The victims include Kyle Heaton, 22, of Ames; Antwane Gordon, 24, of Fort Dodge, Iowa; and Naronne Cole Jr., 22, of Fort Dodge, Iowa. All three were struck by gunfire after a red passenger

car stopped on the 200 block of Welch Avenue and opened fire on the crowd.

Police said Sunday they believe the fight may have stemmed from a fight just minutes earlier on Stanton Avenue and Chamberlain Street. Gordon and Cole were involved in the initial fight, police said.

Heaton was not involved in the aforementioned fight, but a bystander.

Two Ames Police officers proceeded to then open fire on the

Thielen working toward more inclusive services

By Sarah.Muller @iowastatedaily.com Providers at the Thielen Student Health Center are re-evaluating services for the transgender and gender nonconforming communities to be more inclusive with the help of LGBTSS and the University of Iowa.

The student health center is in the midst of a learning process while educating itself on the transgender and gender nonconforming community.

“To be honest, it’s been a learning process for our staff too,” said Erin Baldwin, director of the student health center. “We’ve been working to become more knowledgeable about the health care needs of our transgender and gender nonconforming students.”

While going through the training, administrators at the student health center are restructuring their services and working with community members to get a comprehensive grasp on LGBTQ+.

LGBTSS reached out to the student health center before it launched its Trans@ISU website guide to help transgender students navigate their lives at Iowa State.

“They are who they are,” said Laura Knowles, nursing and patient services supervisor at the student health center. “They deserve to be treated with dignity and respect no matter what, no matter where.”

Two of the points of contact on the page are Knowles and Lois Smith, registered nurses at the student health center, who both attended Safe Zone Training. According to the Safe Zone Project website, Safe Zone Training is “LGBTQ awareness workshops.”

Knowles and Smith learned about terminology, concerns within the community, being willing to apologize and being open to learning more about the community.

Since they received sensitivity training, Knowles and Smith have pushed the Thielen Student Health

suspect vehicle, police said. The officers involved were Sgt. Derek Grooters and Officer Clint Hertz.

Grooters has worked for the department for more than 12 years, and Hertz for more than 9 years.

Both officers are on administrative leave until the investigation is complete. They are both on the department’s Safe Neighborhoods Team.

Heaton is an Iowa State student and a senior in finance, according to the ISU Directory.

Cole is an Iowa Central Com-

munity College student, according to the school’s email directory.

Police arrested four individuals in connection to the shooting on Sunday afternoon, including Terrion Maxfield, 20, of Milwaukee, and Desmon Siner, 19, of Milwaukee, who are being held in the Story County Jail on attempted murder charges, which is a Class B Felony.

Charles Smith, 20, of Milwaukee, and Traveion Henry, 21, of Milwaukee, have also been

arrested for attempted murder (aiding and abetting.)

Maxfield, Siner, Smith and Henry were all located in Fort Doge, Iowa, according to Ames Police. Messenger News in Fort Dodge reported that Maxfield and Siner were located at UnityPoint Health — Trinity Regional Medical Center.

Maxfield, Siner and Smith are all students at the Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge, according to the email directory.

TASTE IOWA’S SCENE Industry ripe for success

By Jenna.Hrdlicka @iowastatedaily.com

It was a snowy February morning in 2000 when 125 people piled into the Odd Fellows Hall in Indianola, Iowa, for the first Winegrape meeting.

Michael White, field specialist in viticulture for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and the Midwest Grape a n d Wine I n dustry In-

stitute, looked around the room and knew it was the start of something big.

“The enthusiasm was there, the money was there, the intelligence was there — I knew this was going to go,” White said.

White was referring to the now highly successful wine industry in Iowa.

In the beginning When Ron Mark, owner of Summerset Winery in Indianola, asked White in December 1999 whether Iowa State University Extension and Outreach could put together some grapegrowing classes, growing wine grapes was not a priority for many.

White, then the Iowa agronomy crop specialist for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, saw the potential — despite hesitation from Iowa State University — so he led the first Winegrape meeting.

At the time, only two Iowa

StuGov VP candidates stress student involvement

By Alli.Weaver @iowastatedaily.com Student Government vice presidential candidates Rachael Barnes and Cody Smith are striving to connect with all students through their campaign as they enter their bid to be the next student leaders on campus.

With over 40 people in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union Tuesday night, both candidates answered questions during the first and only vice presidential debate this StuGov election cycle.

The debate, hosted by the Iowa State Daily, focused on four issues relating to students and Iowa State: transparency, campus climate, funding and community.

Write-in vice presidential candidate Emeline Hanscel was also in attendance, even though she was not permitted to debate because of her write-in status.

In an interview after the debate, she expressed that her platform is sympathetic to the

lack of relationship between Student Government and its constituents.

“I think Student Government needs to have a backbone,” Hanscel said.

Should she get elected, she said her administration intends to strongly involve social media and student polling in Student Government activity and decisions.

Barnes, who is running alongside current vice speaker of the Senate Conner Tillo, also referenced the disconnect that students may have with Student Government.

“I am saddened that a lot of our students will go four years without ever having an interaction with Student Government or see the benefits that Student Government can bring to them,” Barnes said.

As vice president, Barnes said she would strive to “inspire all of our students to become involved and to grow a voice here.”

He also touched on recogniz-

we make sure that all sides are heard.”

Bill proposed to create partisan balance at Iowa universities

By Danielle.Gehr @iowastatedaily.com A newly proposed bill would try to create more diversity of thought, keeping the percentage of Democratic and Republican professors within 10 percent.

The bill, authored by Sen. Mark Chelgren, ROttumwa, states that it

would maintain partisan balance in Iowa universities when it comes to its educators.

The bill blocks universities from hiring faculty who would offset the balance, excluding those without party affiliation.

The Des Moines Register quoted Chelgren, who said, “They want to have people of different thinking, different processes,

different expertise. So this would fall right into category with what existing hiring practices are.”

Chelgren added that institutions currently hire based on diversity.

Josh Lehman, spokesperson for the Board of Regions, told the Register that the board expects its universities to pick the most qualified candidates.

Community advisers could face earlier start

Imagine choosing between your dream summer internship and a yearlong job on campus.

While it doesn’t seem like the two would correlate, several community advisers could face that decision in the coming months.

A bill was introduced to the InterResidence Hall Association on Feb. 2 that dealt with a new starting date for adviser training in regard to the 201718 academic year.

The bill was unanimously passed

by IRHA to be sent up to its higher power, the Department of Residence.

If the DOR votes to enact the bill, the implications could be extensive for returning and new advisers.

The proposed training start date listed in the bill is Aug. 1. This is a few days earlier than the 2016-17 starting date, which was Aug. 4.

The 2015-16 starting date was Aug. 6. This pattern has many CAs worried that training could be continuously moved up each year.

Many students choose to be employed during the summer or accept internships that have an assigned start and end date. Multiple Iowa State programs require internships to graduate, which leaves students with few options.

Any students who have non-negotiable summer employment would be unable to begin training on the set date.

Subsequently, this would also leave them unable to apply, or reapply, to be an adviser.

Alysa Cheng, junior in statistics, is a CA for Wallace Hall.

She said the new training date doesn’t interfere with her current summer plans, but she sees no reason to begin training a week earlier.

“The training last year was adequate, and there’s no need to spend additional time in it,” Cheng said.

Cheng said that she learned more of the skills for being an adviser while on the job than in training.

Training for advisers is a thorough process, covering how to handle situations that they may have never been in before. Drug and alcohol violations,

ROTC members give a lecture on sexual assault in 2015.

Sexual assault is a complex and horrible issue. It is personal, it is heartbreaking and it is different in every case. But if we ever want to

put an end to sexual assault, we have to stop letting its complexity get in our way.

This is the sixth story in a semester-long series where

the Daily will publish a multitude of stories related to sexual assault, including discussions about various resources survivors can

obtain if they are comfortable doing so.

ROTC, GREEK COMMUNITY TEAM UP AGAINST ASSAULT

By Tristan.Wade @iowastatedaily.com Connections between the Greek community and the ROTC programs at Iowa State may seem hard to find at first, but the steps each take toward sexual assault awareness and prevention unite the two groups.

Both push education as one of the most crucial steps in preventing sexual assault and promoting awareness for the issue.

For the ROTC programs, much of their

education on the topic stems from the participation in bystander intervention training.

Each branch of ROTC — Air Force, Navy and Army — has multiple required sessions students must attend each academic year.

They also have a larger-scope sexual assault program, which — as another part of bystander intervention training — focuses on education about consent.

Bystander intervention training involves multiple parts, each centering on educating students about differ-

ent aspects that revolve around sexual assault.

The goal is to show the ROTC students how they can intervene early to prevent a conflict.

“As future leaders in the military, it’s important to take that and extrapolate it to all other areas of your life,” Capt.

James Hamaker of the Air Force said.

The pyramid of violence, which is the idea that a chain of actions and ideas builds up to the actual assault, is brought up several times during bystander

The conference will take place from March 8 to 11 in Minneapolis.

Cantamus to perform at national conference

By Alison.Soelberg @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s all-women’s honor choir, Cantamus, has been invited to the 2017 ACDA National Conference.

The conference will take place from March 8 to 11 in Minneapolis.

The American Choral Directors Association was created in 1959 as a nonprofit music-education organization.

An invitation to the conference is not taken lightly.

This is the second invitation that Cantamus has received for nationals.

The previous was in 2013 in Dallas.

This means that for most members, like Kristen Frueh, it will be their first opportunity to attend.

Frueh is a sophomore in child, adult and family services at Iowa State and is currently spending her fourth semester with Cantamus.

“It is really interesting to see how the dynamic of the choir changes over time,” Frueh said.

Because this is her second year in Cantamus, Frueh has been practicing for the conference for over a year.

“I have always been in SATB [Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone] choirs, which usually have men and women in them,” Frueh said. “It is really cool to be in a women’s choir and see the power of women’s voices. It brings a whole different sound and a whole different meaning.”

The group has been working on six pieces to perform at the conference.

“We had some guest directors come in to discuss what we could change and improve,” Frueh said.

“Right now we are just fine tuning things and gearing up for when we leave.”

Although the members have known the songs for a while now, the fine-

tuning process can be stressful.

The group meets three times per week during the day.

“It can be physically and mentally challenging,” Frueh said.

Because cold and flu season is in full force, and many women have been catching colds recently, the ability to perform to their fullest potential can be hindered.

But the women’s efforts have been paying off, and spending so much time together has been rewarding.

“You really learn a lot about everyone you are working with, and you end up creating something so beautiful,” Frueh said.

The women of the honor choir gave a strong performance at the ISU Choirs Showcase on Feb. 12.

They will perform a preview called the “Bon Voyage Concert” at 4:30 p.m.

March 5 in the MarthaEllen Tye Recital Hall.

The aerospace engineering department at Iowa State is welcoming back a familiar face this spring to teach senior design classes.

Tomas Gonzalez-Torres, former flight director at the NASA Johnson Space Center, has moved back to Iowa so he can lend his experience to students looking to further their careers in the aviation and aerospace industry.

Born in Puerto Rico but having grown up in Iowa, Tomas enrolled at Iowa State University in 1992 with the dream of one day working at NASA. “I chose Iowa State because of the well-known engineering department,” Gonzalez-Torres said. “I heard that the aerospace department had a co-op program with NASA, and that really interested me.”

Gonzalez-Torres participated in co-curricular activities while in college that helped him in his pursuit of a career with NASA. “I was in the Iowa State Space Society, where we actually took a trip to the Johnson Space Center,” he said.

After graduating in 1998 with a degree in aerospace engineering, GonzalezTorres was able to attain a full-time job with the NASA Johnson Space Center as an extravehicular activity instructor (EVA) and flight controller.

He was offered a job after graduation at the Space Center, thanks to his co-op experience.

While at NASA, Gonzalez-Torres worked his way up to group leader of the EVA and flight control-

lers and then eventually to flight director.

“I have never been the smartest person in the room, but I have been the hardest worker,” Gonzalez-Torres said. “It’s a team effort. I worked really hard, and that should always be the case for everybody.”

During his time at the Johnson Space Center, Gonzalez-Torres helped train astronauts and prepare them for spacewalks.

“The first part of my job, I was in the group that trained astronauts to do spacewalks,” GonzalezTorres said. “Every mission was different. I got to participate in training the astronauts for multiple missions, one of them being repairing the Hubble Space Telescope.”

The flight director position is no small task and carries with it incredible responsibility.

“As a flight director, I wanted to make as big of an impact as I could on the space program,” Gonzalez-Torres said. “I didn’t get to physically do space missions, but I got to be directly in line with as-

suring that the astronauts doing those things had the right tools and knowledge to complete the mission.”

Being given the opportunity to come back and teach at Iowa State is a great opportunity for him to give back, GonzalezTorres explained.

“It’s my alma matter, and getting this opportunity to be a part of the aerospace program is fantastic,” he said. “It lets me talk every day about space and engineering. I’m able to pass along the knowledge and experience that I have.”

Gonzalez-Torres also had advice for students in the engineering field who may be wondering which direction they should take.

“For those that are just starting, look into co-ops or internships,” Gonzalez-Torres said. “I’ve seen students that loved their internships and students that hated them, but it’s a win-win either way. If you have an internship and hate it, great; it helps tweak the direction you want to go. If it’s something you want to do, you’ll work hard at it.”

WINE p1 wineries made wine out of grapes from their own vineyards, but he saw undeniable interest and a need for more grape growing in the state.

For the next three years, Mark and White held monthly meetings at Summerset Winery, consistently drawing about 75 to 125 people interested in the industry.

In 2007, Iowa State University told White to choose between agronomy and wine.

White chose wine and has never looked back.

He reminisces about the participants’ enthusiasm and the fun they had together finding their way in the early days of the industry in Iowa.

“At first, it was the “blind leading the blind,” he said.

People with aspirations — hobby wine makers, people who had traveled abroad and people who viewed wine as a part of the culture — were amazed that they could grow grapes in their home state.

“At the beginning it was fun; everybody was having a great time,” White said.

“We’d bring in speakers from all different states to come and talk to us. So it was a growing industry, and everybody worked close together. From 2000 to 2010 or so that was the way it was, a growing industry.”

Midwest Grape and Wine Industry Institute To support the growing wine industry in Iowa, Iowa State University started the The Midwest Grape and Wine Industry Institute.

It was approved by the Iowa Board of Regents in 2006 and is the only such institute in Iowa, according to the ISU Extension and Outreach website.

The staff at the institute conducts research on grape growing and winemaking, hosts events and workshops to help teach winemakers and viticulturists how to better their practices and partners with community colleges.

White is among the staff, with a clientele of more than 2,000 vineyards and wineries across the Midwest.

The staff also includes a team of various other members, including two part-time undergraduate lab assistants.

Maureen Moroney, research associate at the institute, graduated from Iowa State and joined the team in February 2016 after working with production wineries in California since 2008.

“I loved [working in production], but one of the drawbacks is that when you’re winemaking, you run into all these questions that in a production setting, you don’t really have the free-

CA p3 enforcing quiet hours and handling pets are a few of those situations.

But training also covers more personal issues.

Harassment, sexual assault and mental health are all discussed throughout training.

Cheng said training is “beneficial and necessary for a successful year.”

Training also includes staff bonding sessions, both formal and informal, which ensures a smooth transition from training to classes.

If there’s a strong relationship among CAs, the halls tend to be stronger.

In addition to summer

THIELEN p1 Center to be more inclusive, starting with names.

“We have a passion for making sure that people are very comfortable and feel welcomed with us,” Knowles said.

When students make their first appointment with the Thielen Student Health Center they are able to write in their chosen name. That name is then used on all of the charts that providers see.

While providers have been included in multiple discussions about transgender and gender nonconforming services, adminis-

dom to pursue the way that you might like to,” Moroney said. “Ultimately, you need to be focusing on making the best product, not chasing after all these other questions.”

This desire to research was a main reason Moroney returned to her alma mater.

Moroney’s main responsibility is working in the service lab that analyzes samples sent in by industry members.

“If they don’t have the capability to do their analysis on site, then they send it to us and we do it for them for a fee,” Moroney said.

She also is available for industry members to call with questions or concerns. She does site visits, is involved with workshops and trainings, and participates in the research.

Somchai Rice, assistant scientist for the institute, also researches.

Snus Hill Winery takes advantage of the institute’s services.

“We send samples prior to bottling,” said Chris Hundall, co-owner and general manager of Snus Hill Winery. “They have the ability to analyze our wine a lot more in-depth than what we can do in our laboratory. We can do some of the same testing,

well as other entertainment revenue sources, while the other 83 wineries are not making money on the wine itself, White said.

“It’s part of the mix, but they can’t live on it. They’re making money on the events … weddings, meetings, etc.,” White said. “It’s [an industry that is] highly associated with tourism.

A 2012 economic impact study done by Frank, Rimerman + Co LLP, an accounting company based in California, showed that every $1 spent in wine sales in Iowa generated a $28 economic impact on the state.

Why is the economic impact so high?

“Because the wine sales in Iowa are all about tourism,” White said. “It’s all about tourism — events, food, gas, lodging, gifts, etc. The wine is the seed. If you have good seed, you can bring all those things in that package together.”

Snus Hill Winery, one of those top 20, takes advantage of the entertainment side of the industry as well.

“In my opinion, the wine

Wine Facts • 105 operating wineries • 270 vineyards covering 1,200 acres of land • 310,803 gallons of wine sold by Iowa wineries annually • 70 percent of American wine drinkers prefer sweet wine to dry • Every $1 spent on wine equals a $28 economic impact overall • National per capita wine consumption: 2.83 gallons • Iowa per capita wine consumption: 1.53 gallons

but when we send it to them it’s a lot more accurate and a lot more involved.”

This research is important for the institute and the wine industry in Iowa because the Vitis vinifera grapes, the grapes typically found in warmer climates such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir, have been researched extensively, whereas the cold-climate grapes are less known, Rice said.

“We know [coldclimate grapes will] grow in the Iowa climate, but we don’t really know their aroma profile — how winemakers should be using them,” Rice said.

This research, paired with the outreach programs, has helped local wineries thrive and fostered the industry’s rapid growth.

The industry today About 105 wineries in the state together sell about 311,000 gallons of wine per year, according to the Alcohol Beverages Division.

Of 105 wineries, the top 23 account for 80 percent of the industry in the state.

These top 23 wineries are making money on wine, as

consumption in Iowa is not large enough to operate on just selling wine only,” Hundall said. “In order for us to get people out here to get them to buy our wines, we offer live music events, Christmas parties, things like that.

“So not only are we a wine producer, we’re also an event venue, too. That just helps turn the wheels, bring in that additional income for overhead costs.”

What makes Iowan wine unique One major difference between Iowa wine and wine grown in warmer states, such as California, is the type of grapes.

“The difference in the grapes in Iowa is that in the early 1990s, there started to be a movement called Cold Climate Viticulture, where we started looking at American grape varieties and French grape varieties which could create hybrids that could withstand the climate,” White said.

This movement really took off in 2000, with Iowa leading the industry with the fastest growth.

“In Iowa, we have about 40 different grapes that we’re growing, about 10 of which

are native and 30 of which are different hybrids that we can select. We have new hybrids coming out about every two to three years,” White said.

To put the growth into perspective, White said that Cold Climate Viticulture is growing faster than the California wine industry did in the 1970s.

“Not only is it growing in Iowa, but it is also growing across the northern 20 percent of the United States … into Canada and northern Europe, as well,” White said. “It’s just growing dramatically. It’s all about coldclimate viticulture [right now].”

While California still produces a majority of the wine in the United States, with about 85 percent of all wine production, White said it is not a quality issue.

“You can take Iowa wines and go to California, to the best competitions, and you’ll get gold medals,” White said.

Semi-sweet and sweet wines are extremely popular in the industry, with roughly 70 percent of American wine drinkers having sweet palates. But they present the issues of stability, microbial spoilage and re-fermentation.

“Those are your choices, you can either make a dry wine that is stable but that is way too tart, or you can make a sweet wine that if you don’t do a perfect job with sanitation and filtration, it’s going to re-ferment and spoil,” Moroney said.

Where will the industry go in the future?

“From a consumer prospective, one of the challenges here is that even in Iowa nobody has heard about Iowan wines,” Moroney said.

“We’re just not considered a winemaking region, and part of that is because it’s so young.”

This problem is what Moroney thinks will change in the near future.

“I would love to see that perception change,” Moroney said. “I would love for people to see winemaking viable career, and a profitable career, and be taking it really seriously and devoting their lives to it and be making some fantastic wines.

“We have some young winemakers that are doing that, who are taking it very seriously and have come to every single one of our workshops, and are doing absolutely everything they can to do the best job they can.”

White agreed, saying that the wine industry in Iowa has the potential to improve with the passion of the next generation.

“We can do anything,” he said.

internships and jobs, Iowa State offers summer classes that end Aug. 4.

Advisers may be able to get an exception for this issue, but they would still be under the stress of juggling summer finals and missed training dates.

The first day of classes for the 2017-18 academic year is set for Aug. 21, while move-in for freshmen begins Aug. 14.

CAs will be required to move in toward the end of July.

This could cut into their summer.

“It’s sad to see a lot of very qualified, returning CAs who can’t return simply because they have to choose between being a CA

or developing their professional career,” Cheng said.

A group of current advisers has sent a petition to

the DOR to move the start date back.

An official decision has not been reached.

trators at the Thielen Student Health Center hope to enroll the entire staff in Safe Zone Training this summer.

“The students are very thankful,” Knowles said.

“They’re happy that somebody genuinely cares and we are making strides to improve the services and the quality of services they get.”

Students who identify with the transgender and gender nonconforming community have to go to the University of Iowa for more intense health care, but the Thielen Student Health Center is trying to change that.

It is communicating with the University of Iowa’s

hospitals and clinics about receiving training so it can start providing hormone start programs at Iowa State, but no timeline has been set.

“We know [students] are traveling right now, and they have to travel for that care,” Baldwin said. “To have to go all the way to Iowa City or Des Moines to get this care, we know that pulls students away from classes, studying and work. It’s really our goal and commitment to make that service here on campus.”

Students can now receive their hormone injections and medications at the Thielen Student Health

Center, but the clinical planning process is not an option. Bringing the hormone start program to Iowa State would allow the Thielen Student Health Center to take in more students and ease the burden on the University of Iowa.

“When we have needs brought forward to us as needs by our students, we have a commitment to investigate those and see if it makes sense to bring in house,” Baldwin said. “We can’t be everything to everyone, but this is definitely a patient population that we feel passionate about and want to be able to provide services to.”

In light of this past Sunday morning’s Campustown shooting, and of the ‘campus carry’ bill recently proposed in the Iowa legislature, this is an appropriate time to consider the Constitutional language which provides for our baseline gun rights.

Guns on campus?

How about we strike the Second Amendment?

By Alex.Felker @iowastatedaily.com

Y

es, the Second Amendment is outdated. Or, wait — I’m sorry — are there still militias marching about? This is the right to bear arms’ qualifier — correct? Here’s some of the historical context: This amendment-turned-platitude was drafted into the Constitution purely so slave owners could form militias and repel uprisings so southern white men could protect and maintain their lofty stands from the federal government, slaves, Native Americans and foreign incursion.

It was drafted so settlers and newlybranded Americans could arms themselves in preparation for the wars and skirmishes with England, France, Spain, Mexico and Canada that all might occur on domestic soil — many of which did end up occurring.

It was also drafted so the country as a whole could arm itself against the kind of tyranny it’d so freshly escaped, and so the frontiersmen could hunt for food, kill grizzly bears, wolves and wildcats, and fight with native tribes and foreigners; — not, not I say — not so that peppy yeomen could defend themselves and their buddies from machine-gun madmen and terrorists.

This was no conception of the Founding Fathers, no consideration made by our untouchably sacred Constitution, which systemically provided for the non-relevancy of women, the legalization of slavery and the oppression of anybody not white, not landed, not male — which has been amended 17 times, but apparently never again.

What exactly is the pro-gun rights supporter’s ideal world?

A world in which every ma and

pa holstered themselves and their of-age children each morning before running along to work or school? So that in the event of a mass shooting, the banker, checker, student or clerk-everyman could draw and fire against the perpetrator(s)? Surely, there would be no trouble in this?

If, on occasion of a wild man pulling a gun and firing into a crowd, three dozen others did the same and fired at these perpetrators — there wouldn’t be a mess of a crossfire; a mess of figuring out who the “bad guy” is — who it is, exactly, all the “good guys” are supposed to be shooting at when everybody else has got a gun; no mess of dead innocents and mayhem as every man and woman with a firearm looks to their neighbor’s empty holster and swings round?

Perhaps we should bring the gun manufacturers into the national bureaucracy’s fold? More so than they already are, that is. I see no real reason why the NRA shouldn’t just be another governmental agency.

Perhaps it could issue pistols to every American upon their 18th birthday — surely, this would prevent violence on our city streets and in our city bars and our city schools. Let’s just give each and every soul a killing machine; this, this — surely — would finally put an end to all the killing.

Yes: if only every college student, every barkeep, every passersby in this past Sunday morning’s crowd on Welch Avenue that was shot into would have had a pistol strapped to their thigh, then the situation would have been all the more improved. If, after, the perpetrators had taken their shots and sped away, a good 15 or so men and women would have pulled out a gun and looked to each other in confusion — then look where we might be. Look what might’ve been accomplished.

No — I must slow down. I speak crazily. I speak of exaggerations, of unfairly reached logical ends and enough! — say the pro-gun rights folk. Not everybody needs a gun. Only those who’ve been properly vetted, who’ve taken the proper tests; those

among us who could be reasonable and responsible under pressure — those who really know what they’re doing.

But wait? Does this not eerily sound like something we’ve already got?

Something, perhaps, like the police force?

This is why we ought to strike the Second Amendment in its current state. Replace it with something more apropos. Our world is a changed one from 1787, and it deserves some changed legislation.

I do not call for the prohibition of guns, which is impossible, or even for particularly strict gun-control law; just stricter than what we’ve already got.

But what I do really call for — what’s desperately needed — is some actually meaningful, relevant, worthwhile, updated Constitutional language that clamps down on what is such a pathetically weak truism and argument: the “right” to bear arms.

The above paragraph — earlier in the week having been my concluding thoughts — must now survive a few more addendums.

A bill has been proposed in the Iowa Legislature that would provide for the legal carrying of firearms on campus grounds.

I need not restate so much of what I’ve already mentioned, but would merely remark that whatever supposed belief in efficacy there could exist (on the part of the bill’s supporters) for the handing over of such a dangerous right to a pack of green 18- to 22-year-olds is beyond delusional. This is an absolutely wild proposed solution to a very serious problem, and it deserves a more serious resolution.

More guns simply aren’t the answer. They’ve never been the answer.

There are more complex issues at the root of these violent symptoms, and to treat the symptoms alone with such a surface-level reaction would be a grave mistake.

It may take some horrible tragedy for the nation to unite on this front, and for that I am truly sorry.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Preventing immigration is not the solution

By Joe Bialek Cleveland, Ohio My grandfather, Albert Joseph Bialek, came to the United States from Poland (Galicia) in 1910. Per the Ellis Island website, he boarded the ship Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse in Bremen, Germany (formerly Prussia). He had just completed his service in the Austrian Army. Poland at that time was divided into three spheres of influence by Austria, Prussia and Russia. Upon being discharged, he returned to his father’s farm.

Officers from the Austrian

Army made an attempt to reenlist him, but tradition dictated that he could remain at home so long as he was sorely needed on the farm. Immediately after the officers departed, Albert’s father gave him his brother’s travel documents and instructed him to immigrate to the United States. His father knew that war was coming and he didn’t want to lose his son to it. It took me longer to locate my grandfather on the passenger list because I had forgotten he was traveling under the name Jan and not Albert.

Given the fact that Albert entered the United States under

the name Jan Bialek and later burned his immigration papers, it is evident he was by definition an “illegal immigrant.”

He went on to become a very hard-working brick mason and law-abiding citizen, raising 12 children with the help of his Polish wife Mary (nee Mazan) and the rest, as they say, is history.

Just as Cleveland, Ohio, is a city of neighborhoods so is the United States a country of immigrants. In fact, all the major cities of America (at one time) served as incubators for immigrants to not only become accustomed to the ways of this country but also to intermingle

with each other (often prohibited in their native homeland).

It’s a shame that the inner cities were handed over to the absentee landlords after World War ll. Just imagine how much stronger and united our country might have been had this unofficial tradition continued.

Gentrification is not the answer.

Preventing immigration is not the solution. Intense vetting is acceptable during these challenging times, but to unfairly deny one person access to the United States makes us all orphans again. As a popular song goes: “let me in, immigration man.”

Town hall meetings engagement opportunity Since President Donald’s Trump inauguration a month ago, Congress has been under pressure. The president’s appointees, executive orders and much more have combined to trigger public pressure on the senators and the representatives of Capitol Hill.

Many people have voiced their concerns to their respective Congress members over the last couple of weeks through conventional modes: phone calls and emails.

The assistants of the Congress members take care of the calls and emails, and they are supposed to deliver your concern to the elected official. But in the transition of an idea, its vitality may be lost.

Although it’s important, and most convenient while Congress is in session, to call your Congress member and send emails, there is a more effective way of reaching out this week.

During the week of Feb. 20, Congress members go home to their states for “District Work Week.”

They usually host town hall meetings to discuss issues with the public and answer questions.

Congress members talk about their positions on certain policies and answer questions related to issues that matter to their constituents.

This is an excellent opportunity to make sure your representatives are representing you. It’s also an excellent way to voice your concern, share your thoughts and talk to Congress members directly.

In Iowa, our senators and representatives will be around this week for you.

Sen. Chuck Grassley hosted two town hall meetings on Tuesday. The first took place in the morning in Iowa Falls, while the second took place in Garner. His third town hall meeting will be Thursday morning in Charles City. Joni Ernst hosted her town hall meeting in Maquoketa on Tuesday afternoon.

U.S. Rep. Rod Blum will have local office hours Wednesday and Friday in four different locations around Iowa.

These are only a few of the meetings that will take place throughout the week. Many more will take place in the future, and they will be no less important.

To make the most of your attendance, go prepared. Knowing your elected official and some of their background is always helpful. Also, make sure to understand the format of the meeting and the agenda or the topic. If the announcement does not include further details, go a step further and check their website or call their office. During the meeting, speak your mind concisely, clearly and politely.

Finally, always keep up-to-date with your respective senator or representative. This is everybody’s civic duty.

Running back suffers Achilles injury

By Aaron.Marner @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State running back Kene Nwangwu will miss spring practices after suffering an Achilles injury, according to Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register.

Nwangwu was one of six true freshmen to see the

field for Iowa State in 2016.

Most of his action was as a kick returner.

Nwangwu was named first team freshman AllAmerican by Pro Football Focus and second team All-Big 12 by both ESPN and Athlon Sports.

Nwangwu ranked 15th nationally with 26.4 yards per kickoff return.

He showed explosiveness with his five returns of at least 40 yards, which tied for second in the nation.

Against West Virginia on Nov. 26, 2016, Nwangwu ran back a 97-yard return for a touchdown, the thirdlongest return in Iowa State football history.

He didn’t see much action in the backfield, sitting

behind David Montgomery and Mike Warren on the depth chart. But when he did get carries, he found success. In his 27 carries in 2016, Nwangwu rushed for 133 yards. He also caught one pass for 16 yards.

Now, the question will be if he can get his explosiveness back in time for the Ryan Young/Iowa State Daily 2017 season in the fall.

Kene Nwangwu returns a kick against Iowa on Sept. 10, 2016.

Gable excited about ISU’s new hire

By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com Every time new Iowa State wrestling coach Kevin Dresser has gotten an opportunity — he’s capitalized on it.

Dresser wrestled at the University of Iowa for five years under legendary coach Dan Gable, who wrestling collegiately at Iowa State. Dresser didn’t crack the starting lineup until his fourth year.

But when he finally got his shot, he made the most of it by placing fourth at the NCAA Championships. A year later, in his fifth and final year, Dresser became an NCAA Champion.

After his collegiate wrestling career he was an assistant under Gable for two years before accepting his first high school coaching position in 1988.

“He gets hired as a coach and he just dominated,” Gable said.

“Every year almost he was winning a state championship.”

Dresser won five consecutive Virginia state titles with Christiansburg High School.

In 2006, Dresser got his first shot at coaching a collegiate program.

He turned Virginia Tech into a national power in a short amount of time. In the 2006-07 season, the Hokies went 6-12. Two seasons later, they went 20-2.

And in 2016, Dresser was named the National Wrestling Coaches Association Coach of the Year.

“He got a chance to move into the bigger leagues and I don’t think Virginia Tech’s ever — I think they’ve had good teams, but I don’t think they’ve ever brought a trophy home until last year,” Gable said. “He brought them right in there.

“Iowa State is expecting him to keep doing what he’s been doing his whole life. He’ll raise the profile, but it’s not automatic.”

Iowa State officially announced Dresser as its wrestling coach Monday. The Cyclones are in the midst of a 1-12 season, but Gable believes Dresser is the person to turn it around.

“That’s one year in 100 years,” Gable said. “That’s not going to happen again, and I think a guy like Kevin Dresser will make sure that doesn’t happen again. It’s really important for Iowa State to

Iowa State’s new wrestling coach, Kevin Dresser, arrived in Ames on Tuesday, along with his family. He helped Virginia Tech become a national wrestling powerhouse.

be good.”

Iowa is one of the biggest wrestling states in America. Gable called its fans “rabid” — in the best way possible. And in order for the sport of wrestling to keep growing in the state, it’s important to have Iowa State firing on all cylinders.

There are three Division I teams in Iowa, but only two need to be competing for national titles.

“Everybody at the D-I level [in Iowa] kind of feeds off each other, and the better each one is the more you’re going to buckle down,” Gable said. “When all three institutions are thriving that’s when we’re at our best. Especially if two of those three are going [strong].

“I think when you have Iowa State in the hunt, Iowa in the hunt and UNI is chipping away there, I think you’re always going to have one of these two programs looking for a national title. You want to show that we’re going to win national titles in Iowa.”

Winning national championships is something Gable knows well. He won 15 of them when he coached at Iowa from 1976-1997.

Dresser is considered a “Dan Gable disciple,” which is someone who coached under Gable as an assistant and uses his blueprint and system in their own coaching.

But Gable said the key to success for any one coach in his vast coaching tree is “tweaks.” Each

coach needs to make their own tweak to fit their style.

“He actually brought me to Virginia Tech [to mentor Dresser] — especially at the beginning of his career,” Gable said. “Once they got solid, I was less likely to go out there.”

Gable said Dresser’s biggest “tweak” was in his ability to understand what elements are needed and going after those elements in the people, the program and the parts.

Dresser diagnoses the system and what’s taking place, and he makes sure that the right people are doing the right jobs.

He runs it almost like a company, Gable said.

“This is another challenge and people think he’s going to come in and change it right away,” Gable said. “Well, yeah, he’s going to change it right away, but whether the results can change — you hope it does.

“You have to have excitement — you have to be an idealist, but you have to have some realism. And somewhere it comes and mixes together and wow, it mixes pretty good.”

Dresser is bringing years of success and experience to Ames. And Gable thinks it’ll work out well for him.

“Based on his career it looks like he’ll do OK,” Gable said. “In fact he’ll do more than that — he’ll create a lot of excitement.”

Swim and dive team aims for second at Big 12s

By Rachel.Given @iowastatedaily.com Because Texas is so far ahead of the rest of the conference, the Iowa State swim and dive team will head into the Big 12 Conference Championships on Wednesday seeking to be the best of the rest.

The Cyclones ended their regular season with a loss against Big 12 rival Kansas on Feb. 4. That was more than two weeks ago, and now the team faces its biggest event until this point of the season.

“We just tell [the team], ‘Hey, the men’s basketball team stinks it up every once in a while too,’” head swim coach Duane Sorenson said. “We’re allowed to do that.”

While beating the Longhorns is out of the question, placing second would be taken as a win.

“Because Texas is so far ahead of both Kansas and us ... [beating] TCU, West Virginia and Kansas feels like winning the Big 12 Championships,” Sorenson said.

The winner of Iowa State’s meet against West Virginia in the regular season was decided by the last event, with the Cyclones winning 153-147. Against TCU, the Cyclones had to settle for a tie.

And despite the loss earlier this month, Sorenson said the Jayhawks are “very beatable.”

Sorenson said historically, the Jayhawks always look over their shoulder during the race and focus on the past. But he tells his team to look at the current situation at hand.

“The past has nothing to do with the outcome of this meet, so we’re going into this race with some fresh eyes on some fresh competitors,” sophomore Haley Ruegemer

said. “Who’s gonna show up?”

The conference championship is split into a three-day, seven-session event. Sorenson said the game plan for the Cyclones is to take each session one at a time.

“If a team has a bad session, they’re going to take themselves right out of the meet,” Sorenson said.

After a season full of close meets, racing down to the last relay is not uncommon for the Cyclones.

“We’ve been through those in close races, so we know what the pressure is and to perform under pressure,” Sorenson said.

Sorenson said the Cyclones historically do well in the breaststroke races but he said to now look out for their sprint races, such as the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard freestyle.

“We have a lot of experience in those races and we have a lot of pride in our team to do well,” Sorenson said.

Collectively, the Cyclones believe support is one of the team’s strengths. Assistant head coach Kelly Nordell creates sayings each year that the team yells during races. Grit is the main word the Cyclones have lived by this year.

“Integrity is our word for this year, and it has grit in it,” Ruegemer said. “To be gritty, you really have to dig down deep. It’s basically putting others before yourself to get the job done. You gotta get tough.”

Fundraising continues for spring show

By Abby.Patterson @iowastatedaily.com The Fashion Show will continue fundraising over the next two weeks to fund the production for this spring and scholarships to participating students.

The Fashion Show will host its annual Buffalo Wild Wings Fundraiser on Wednesday and will work the concessions at the ISU men’s basketball game against Oklahoma State on Tuesday at Hilton Coliseum.

The Buffalo Wild Wings Fundraiser is one of the most profitable fundraisers for The Fashion Show. Over the years, The Fashion Show has held a restaurant takeover at Orange Leaf, Panera and other surrounding restau-

rants. For the past four years, Buffalo Wild Wings has proved to be the most popular and profitable destination for the group.

“It’s actually up to the fundraising directors to see what fundraisers we do,” said Emilee Meyer, senior in apparel, merchandising and design and an outreach producer for The Fashion Show. “The Buffalo Wild Wings fundraiser makes us the most money compared to any other restaurants we have ever done.”

The success of the fundraiser has made it popular for the group.

“They always just continue the Buffalo Wild Wings one just because it makes us the biggest profit and sale’s percentage with higher volume of customers,” Meyer said.

To support, order a meal at

Buffalo Wild Wings from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. and present The Fashion Show flyer to the waitress. 10 percent of the sale will be donated to The Fashion Show.

“The Fashion Show doesn’t get a ton of funds — a lot of it is fundraising, and the Iowa State Fashion Show is the biggest studentrun fashion show in the United States, so if you love Buffalo Wild Wings, why not go and show support,” said Blair Gillotti, sophomore in apparel,merchandising and design, said. “You are eating good food and helping out a concept that so many people love.”

Taking over the Iowa State basketball concessions isn’t new to The Fashion Show, but this is the first year The Fashion Show has done a full-concession takeover.

In past years, about 20 mem-

bers would volunteer at about five different games, adding up to 100 volunteers.

By switching to a full-takeover, 80 volunteers help out at two games, and the Fashion Show receives an extra $500 per game.

“When I was a fundraising director, it was always an issue getting people to sign up [for concessions] because fundraising at a basketball game is a lot of work compared to doing a T-shirt sale,” Meyer said. “This year we required all committee members and directors to work one basketball game. ” For concessions, 10 percent of net food sales and 8 percent of net drink sales go to The Fashion Show.

At the their last concession takeover on Jan. 31, The Fashion

Show was able to raise a total of $2,845.21.

“Fundraising via concessions and restaurant takeovers have been and will continue to be crucial,” Seth Fridley, senior in management and the budget planner for The Fashion Show, said. “We are fortunate to have a large footprint as far as membership goes, which allows us to get the word out to more people as well as have more volunteers.”

On top of these fundraising initiatives, the FundISU Campaign is going strong with $15,564 raised, 77 percent of the total $20,000 goal. Donations for the FundISU Campaign will close at 7 p.m. Friday.

Chosen for Omaha

Mader’s collection for the Omaha Fashion Week was inspired from her study abroad trip to Africa.

For Sarah Mader, there was no other option but to be a fashion designer.

Mader, senior in apparel, merchandising and design, is showcasing her collection at the Omaha Fashion Week. Seventeen total designers, three of whom are affiliated with Iowa State, make up this year’s Omaha Fashion Week.

“I was always really creative and could draw people in great detail when I was younger,” Mader said. “I was 9 years old when I figured out that I can make a job making clothes and drawing for people. Since then, I haven’t looked back.”

Eulanda Sanders, professor of apparel, events and hospitality management, said the Omaha Fashion Week gives students an invaluable opportunity to participate in a professional industry fashion event.

“The experience to showcase their design lines provides exposure of their work and building industry connection,” Sanders said. “It also demonstrates our Iowa State students’ readiness to contribute and compete professionally in the fashion industry.”

The Omaha Fashion Week is the fifth largest fashion event in the nation.

“Omaha Fashion Week is a glamorous red carpet event for a good cause,” said Buf Reynolds, director of talent and community outreach at Omaha Fashion Week. “We nurture the youngest of fashion designers by providing mentoring, education opportunities and a professional platform to showcase their work.”

Mader applied online for the fashion week in September. The organizer asked Mader to send more photos of her work, so she sent her website. Soon after, she was accepted for an interview, where she got the chance to discuss what she had to offer and how it will make their show the best.

“At first, the judges were really quiet, but when I finished, they perked up and gave me some pretty positive feedback,” Mader said. “They really liked my branding and construction, which is one of the things Iowa State is known for in the design program.”

Mader used the judges’ feedback as inspiration to finish her collection.

“I wanted to continue to impress them and didn’t want to let them down,” Mader said.

About a week after the interview, Mader received an email that said she was selected to be in the event.

Mader’s collection is a lux-

ury resort for spring look. The inspiration came during her study abroad trips to Spain and Morocco.

“I am very decisive when it comes to something that I want,” Mader said. “When I was in Africa, I knew that was what I was going to design my collection around.”

Mader used materials such as digital printing and laser cutting to complete her collection, which features colorful, light, airy and feminine pieces.

Mader was tight on time while making her collection, which included digital printing, waiting for fabric to be made and making each detail of the pieces.

“I am very much a quality over quantity type of person,” Mader said. “I will stay up all night to make sure something is perfect, so I had a lot of long nights.”

Getting into the Omaha Fashion Week was a notable accomplishment for Mader, but she also met her fashion designer idol, Rachel Zoe. “She started flipping through the pages and gushing over my sketches,” Mader said. “The fact that she loves what I had designed, especially since it was designed after her, made me feel great.”

Mader will spend her week at the Omaha Fashion Week, but her collection will be showcased Friday.

ASSAULT p3 intervention training.

The bottom layer involves sexist jokes and rape jokes, which lead to building stereotypes, the second layer. These stereotypes lead to the next layer, verbal abuse and harassment. The top layer includes rape, sexual assault and abuse.

Bystander intervention training attempts to inform students about the layers. If students can work on preventing the bottom layers of the pyramid from forming, they will be able to halt progression toward sexual assault and harassment.

Shannon Writt, a cadet in Army ROTC, explained that two parts of the training are applicable to people outside of ROTC as well.

They each involve discussion among students about the aggressions that make up the bottom of the pyramid.

The discussion in bystander intervention training always circles back to the idea that intervention by one person early in the chain of actions can prevent a sexual assault.

Cadets Against Sexual Harassment and Assault

(CASH/A) is an Army ROTC student group on campus with the goal of educating others on what the Army has taught them in bystander intervention training.

Andrew Cubit is the vice president of risk prevention for the Interfraternity Council at Iowa State, and one of his fellow fraternity brothers is an Army ROTC cadet.

Last semester, CASH/A members came to their house and presented bystander intervention training for the fraternity.

“The CASH/A program has been useful for multiple chapters,” Cubit said. “… education from a similar authority level, student to student, to me is easier to learn.”

At its core, ROTC centers sexual assault awareness on educating students with these steps, showing how they can help prevent it before it happens.

The greek community also promotes education to accomplish sexual assault awareness.

Throughout the year, many speakers are brought in to talk to greek students about topics relating to sexual assault and how to try to reduce and prevent

incidents. stantly educating and folCubit doesn’t believe lowing up on the informathat sittion, I ting and think we listencan see “If we can get the ing to a a drastic speaker change community to be is quite in the constantly educatenough amount though. of inciing and following up He ordents on the information, ganizes happenrounding.”

a year, you have to reapply that to where you are, a periodic re-evaluation, applying it to your current situation,” Hamaker said.

ROTC also educates on topics like consent and setting proper environments.

This education is just as important to bystander intervention in the awareness and prevention of sexual assault.

For the greek community, Cubit believes another important aspect of this education is the education of new members.

Because they are often freshmen, new to the community and culture, he wants to make sure they know the basics as soon as possible.

“New members are the future for Iowa State and the greek community, and

if we can start installing those ideals sooner rather than later, I think we’d see improvement,” Cubit said.

The greek community and ROTC both try to do all they can to take the necessary steps toward awareness and prevention of sexual assault.

Cubit and Hamaker agreed that the sometimes monotonous information shared during lectures and speeches on the topic can be hard to get across to students, but the importance of the topic means that they have to do their best to make the message known.

“These are conversations that if we bring up in natural times, at chapter meetings, at events, we will reinforce what we’re trying to teach everyone,” Cubit said.
