Administrators discuss building a diverse leadership team
PART 3
Gregory Kate
By Alex.Ivanisevic @iowastatedaily.com Since his appointment in 2011, Iowa State President Steven Leath has pushed several initiatives in an effort to improve the social and academic climates of Iowa State. One of his main focuses has been on building a cabinet diverse in experience and expertise. “My philosophy on that is if you get a lot of smart people at the table and you foster open discussion, you’re more likely to get things right, and you’re less likely to make mistakes,” Leath said. “At the same time, the more diverse opinions, outlooks and perspectives you have, the more likely you are to make a good decision.” Each individual in the presidential cabinet bears a complex list of duties. Leath said he thought about the type of expertise the university needed while searching for cabinet members. He added someone from human resources and from engagement and economic development in an effort to broaden the people who were “at the table.” Five individuals work under Leath with respect to the structure of the cabinet. They include Reginald Stewart, vice president for diversity and inclusion; Martino Harmon, senior vice president for student affairs; Kate Gregory, senior vice president for university services; Miles Lackey, chief financial officer and chief of staff; and Jonathan Wickert, senior vice president and

Combating sexual assault Survivor works with legislators to pass protective bill A sexual assault survivor hopes to give future victims the resources that would have aided her by working with Iowa legislators to pass a bill. Elizabeth Huebsch, a therapist from West Des Moines, wanted to file a civil protective order against the man who abused her when he wouldn’t leave her alone. The order was unobtainable because, in the state of Iowa, there must be an arrest of the defendant for sexual abuse before one can file the no-contact order. The fact that she wasn’t in a relationship with the abuser also barred her from filing a civil protective order. The restrictions were meant to keep people from filing the orders without grounds. In Huebsch’s situation, this kept her from feeling safe. “Rape is considered like, I think of a man with a mask [hiding] down an alley,” Huebsch said. “A lot of the time people know the perpetrator.” For Huebsch, the perpetrator was someone she knew and trusted. The identity of the man who abused her cannot be disclosed because Huebsch fears that he would come back with a lawsuit. She received a cease-and-desist order from the assaulter warning her not to speak out about the abuse.

Elizabeth Huebsch is a sexual assault survivor who is working with legislators on a bill that would have aided her when she tried to cut ties with the man who abused her.
Huebsch was going through a rough period in her life when she met the man who assaulted her. He led a spiritually-based support group that she started attending. The man eventually used the spiritual language to shield himself from any blame, Huebsch said. He would defend his behavior, saying, “Why are you in such denial? Why can’t you see that I’m just an innocent child of God?” Huebsch found that all of the issues in her life were fixed after going to the group regularly. She attributed this to him. The man is significantly older than Huebsch and is married with kids. Huebsch said these facts made her feel safe around

him. Their second meeting involved verbal and sexual abuse. She said he started out by putting her on a pedestal before tearing her down and exploiting her insecurities. She didn’t recognize it as abuse until others pointed her out. She began to educate herself on sexual abuse. Huebsch said she would read books, and the man who assaulted her would fit the descriptions of abusers and manipulators. After receiving the ceaseand-desist order, she decided to speak with authorities but felt that the detective didn’t believe her from the start. She said the detective asked
LEGISTALTION p4
By Jake.Dalbey @iowastatedaily.com
An additional $2.75 million will be cut from Iowa’s three public universities, according to a report released Friday from the Iowa Department of Management. The cut stems from the 2017 Iowa Legislature state budget cuts, which total $118 million. The Iowa Department of Management was left a total of $11.5 million in cuts to divide among various departments, including administration, agriculture, economic development, health and human services and the justice system. Education received the largest cut, totaling $5.38 million, which will be split among all three public universities. The increase will push Iowa State’s budget cut to $8.99 million compared to the original $8 million. The University of Iowa will increase from $8 million to $9.24 million, and the University of Northern Iowa from $2 million to $2.52 million. The budget cut announcement came directly after Thursday’s Board of Regents meeting, in which each of the three institutional heads addressed plans to face the lost funds. Iowa State President Steven Leath focused on deferred maintenance, keeping open personnel positions unfilled, along with the cancellation and delay of several capital improvement projects. Leath said during the meeting that he was aware of the difficulties brought on by the cuts, but he sees the university’s cost-cutting methods as necessary and unavoidable. “Investment in public higher education is an investment in a prosperous Iowa long term,” Leath said.“We are facing a very difficult budget challenge. The cut we are seeing now is very unfortunate.”
First-ever bilingual career fair opens doors By Mary.Pautsch @iowastatedaily.com

Additional budget cuts hit Iowa’s colleges
The more languages someone speaks, the more opportunities can come their way. Iowa State’s Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CSSA) hosted the university’s first-ever bilingual career fair Sunday afternoon. Thirty companies set up shop in the Memorial Union, looking for students who are able to speak Chinese and English. A few of the companies were representatives for other businesses, providing job openings to 75 organizations around the world. Snow Bai, president of the CSSA, said the career fair was created to give international students more employment opportunities while they are in the United States. Companies represented at other career fairs on campus don’t always accept work from international students. “People can go to a career fair set up by their college or major but have to be turned away by employers because they’re from China, or India or Malaysia […] just other countries,” Bai said. Companies in attendance ranged from local small businesses in the Ames area to businesses overseas. One engineering company flew in from China for the event. The majority of employers in attendance have international ties to China and need bilingual speakers to work among the two countries. Iowa State’s CSSA worked with eight other colleges to create the career fair. Students from the University of Nebraska, University of Nebraska Omaha, University of Iowa and University of Indiana attended for the unique experience.
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign hosted a similar event last year. It approached the CSSA this year to set up Sunday’s career fair and asked Iowa State to host the event. “We were planning on having the event in Chicago, but we had just started working in December so it got scaled down to here in the MU,” Riheng Cao, CSSA’s director of operations, said. “A company called Yaoyan helped initiate the idea and get other companies to come, and they have been helpful with everything.” Cao said that depending on the success of the fair, they would try to bring it to a larger city, such as Chicago, next year. “I’m so excited to see Asian and international students getting jobs,” Cao said. “The turnout has been good. We have a lot of people here.” Cao and Bai said it would be ideal to work with Iowa State Career Services in the future to help create a bilingual career fair for all international students in the upcoming years. “It’s not our job to make these things happen, but it is definitely a good initiative to work with later,” Bai said. “Imagine how good it would be for Indian or Malaysian students. Some of them are even with us today because they can speak Chinese.” Andy Cui, sophomore in computer science, attended the career fair to see what his options were and to get experience in his field of study. “I want to find an internship-type job,” Cui said. “Something in my major to practice my skills. I am a transfer student from China and changed my major from electrical engineering to computers, so not all of my credits also transferred. Now I want to get out there.”

2017 Varieties does it right By Thomas.Shreve @iowastatedaily.com and Keely.O’Neal @iowastatedaily.com Themed Relive the Legends this year, Varieties hosted its finale this weekend after a total of four shows, two semi-finals and two finals. Two weekends ago, seven vignettes and seven pairings used their best onstage talents to compete with one another. A panel of judges selected four vignettes and four pairings to move onto the finals. The finals took place Friday and Saturday with an award show on Friday. Vignettes, which consist of one to three people, had to create entirely new performances, whereas the larger pairings stuck to their previous mini-musicals from the semi-finals. “I did it last year so it’s cool to see it from the audience,” Caroline Moffett said. “I never knew about the vignettes.” The four vignettes consisted of the three-person band The Triggered Snowflakes, magician Michael Oz, music duo Parker Reed and Rachel Pollastrini and magician Christian Manahl. Oz won first place with his stand-
out performance. He performed his multiplying cup trick from the semifinals and a new, mind-blowing trick where he levitated a table. But his tricks may have been the least interesting part about his performance. Oz’s onstage presence and charisma were unmatched. He knew his way around the stage and had a likable onstage personality, which likely attributed to his firstplace award. “He was awesome, he guessed my phone code,” audience member Alex Kinnes said. Christian Manahl, whose tricks included pulling cards out of thin air, finished second. The Triggered Snowflakes, which featured vocals from Haylee Daughtee, vocals and keyboard from Taylor Nguyen and beats on the cajón from Nolan Vollstedt, placed third. Their vocals were impressive and possibly the best of the night. Reed and Pollastrini finished fourth with their performances on the guitar and ukulele, respectively. Their calming music was a refreshing change of pace compared to the hectic pairings. The pairings were longer, 20-minute mini-musicals that featured original stories, choreography and covers of famous songs with new lyrics. The four pairings were Pairing

The eastern monarch butterfly is almost extinct, and scientists say humans are to blame. A group of people at Iowa State is aiming to change all of that. The goal of the Iowa Monarch Conservation Consortium, a research center on campus, is to increase the eastern monarch butterfly population. According to the consortium, the population reached an all-time low in 2014, covering only 1.66 acres of forest when they migrated to Mexico. This puts them on the brink of extinction. With their bright orange, black and white wings, they are seen all over Iowa during warm months. Each spring, they travel more than 2,000 miles from Mexico to lay eggs. But monarchs are unique in that the caterpillars require the milkweed plant to survive. Female butterflies will only lay their eggs on milkweed, and it’s getting harder to find each year. “We need about 1.6 billion milkweed stems to get the [monarch] population back to a reasonable level,” said John Pleasants, assistant professor who has studied the effect herbicides have on the monarch population. Fifty percent of the fields in Iowa contained common milkweed in 1999, Pleasants said. For a female monarch butterfly, finding a place to lay her eggs would have been easy back then. More recently, a new survey conducted by the Iowa Monarch Conservation Consortium in 2015 discovered that there are no more fields left in Iowa with the plant. Milkweed is now only found along roadsides. “We’ve got this fragmented landscape,” Pleasants said. “The milkweeds are just scattered ... and not as abundant as they were before. What that means is that a female just has to really work. At some point she’s going to [die] and not lay all the eggs she could lay.” The desire to keep a piece of land looking free of weeds is causing the decline in the eastern monarch population, Pleasants said. Land owners will use

Drag show fundraises for The Trevor Project By Aurianna.Lwin @iowastatedaily.com Music, dancing and sequined outfits rocked the stage at Delta Lambda Phi’s second annual drag show Saturday.

Students participate in the Social Justice Summit on Saturday at the Memorial Union. The beginning of the summit gave the participants a chance to realize their privileges and disadvantages compared to others.
Summit ignites passion for social justice issues By Whitney.Mason @iowastatedaily.com
Sam Greene/Iowa State Daily
The Delta Lambda Phi drag show was a chance for the LGBTQ community and their allies to come out and raise money for The Trevor Project.
Like-minded students and faculty members joined Saturday to partake in the annual Social Justice Summit inside the Campanile Room of the Memorial Union. Participants of the events attended to understand social justice issues, which not only include race but also LGBT, gender and mental health issues. The opening of the summit gave participants an opportunity to realize their privileges and disadvantages compared to others, but two sessions on having conversations about race and the feminist movement gave new perspectives and encouraged new knowledge.
One was the Sept. 29 movement, when students and faculty joined to protest and demand the name change of Catt Hall. The building is named after Carrie Chapman Catt, the first Iowa State female graduate and world-renowned advocate for women’s rights. The other session focused on helping individuals learn how to be effective leaders and create an effective movement by understanding how something as simple as a bias can lead to something as powerful as a genocide. Students who attended the summit found it to be beneficial as it shed a new light in their lives and on the Iowa State community. “I see my passion growing through events like this,”
Rachel Conn, senior in world languages and cultures, said. She was influenced by people who were like-minded and want to see change. “As a future educator, it can be enlightening to better understand my students and better serve them in the future,” Dalton Ernst, senior in elementary education, said. Adamarie Marquez, a coordinators for the event, believed this year’s summit exceeded expectations but sees room for improvement. Marquez believes the event is beneficial because it provides needed conversations that generally wouldn’t happen in a classroom. “Our biggest thing is working on building a community and creating an inclusive community for all,” Marquez said.

MONARCH p3 lawnmowers and chemicals to kill weeds, preventing growth of new milkweed along roadsides. The consortium is working with land owners all over Iowa to allow milkweed and other diverse plants to grow in crop land that is no longer in production. But Bob Hartzler, a weed scientist at Iowa State, said a new invasive weed called Palmer amaranth is scaring farmers from doing this. “It has the potential to persuade farmers that diversity is bad,” Hartzler said. Hartzler explained that they are trying to work with farmers to allow diversity in their fields without the threat of Palmer amaranth. Insecticides are to blame for monarch population decline as well. Chemicals used on crops to prevent or kill crop-damaging insects are used all over Iowa. Niranjana Krishnan, graduate student studying toxicology and entomology, said these insecticides can land on milkweed and kill caterpillars or prevent them from growing up healthy enough to migrate to Mexico. “A lot of roadsides aren’t that far away from farm fields in Iowa,” Krishnan said. “If you spray an in-

At first, after the police spoke with the man, he started to leave her alone. Once he realized that she wasn’t going to press charges, he started to show up again. They’d be at an event, and despite there being empty seats at numerous different tables, he would sit next to her. She said his reasoning was that he wanted to talk with the other people at the table. “Basically, he’s that calm, collected person that is just like, ‘Oh, I didn’t know that she was upset with me,’” Huebsch said.

plants on the ground, you want to make sure you’re planting things that will grow well [in Iowa],” Pocius said. “Also, you want want to make sure the butterflies use them.” The population is steadily rising, but not as much as the researchers want. The official 2017 monarch butterfly population now covers 7.2 acres of forest in Mexico, according to the Iowa Monarch Conservation Consortium. To these scientists, they aren’t just saving an entire
species, they’re saving a major icon in North American culture. The monarch has touched the lives of many people, and that’s what drives the consortium team. “Whether is was a little kid holding a butterfly for the first time or whether it was someone that grew up watching them, they all have a personal connection to that butterfly,” Pocius said. “Having a butterfly in your hand and remembering what that means to you, I think really hits home for a lot of people.”
“I had asked him to leave me alone multiple times, and one time he shows up to my work and puts a card in my mailbox.” Another time, he was outside of her door, which caused her to start screaming. She said he responded jokingly, “What? Did you think I was Casper the Ghost?” Huebsch initially didn’t disclose his identity to her friends. When she felt like her life was at risk, she would leave a note at her house using a code name, saying that if she disappeared, he was to blame. Once she revealed who the offender was, her friends and colleagues who also were acquainted with him suddenly withdrew their support. Many suggested that she sit down with the abuser and a third party to talk it through. She explained to them that it triggered her
to see him, which was put down with “those are just your thoughts.” Others didn’t understand why she needed to label the abuser. She said it is important to use specific terms. “You have to call it for what it is,” Huebsch said. “I mean, I didn’t have the language to explain or describe what was going on. I just felt like I was going crazy at the time.” She eventually met with three legislators who she said had a clear understanding of dealing with sexual assault cases and were very supportive. One of the legislators working on the bill is Sen. Janet Petersen, D-Des Moines. “While civil protective orders do not guarantee a person’s safety, victims of sexual assault should have access to protective orders,” Petersen said. She explained that the
bill could help victims who are co-workers of the perpetrator or victims who do not want to file a lawsuit but want the protection. Huebsch also has been working with an Iowa civil rights attorney, Rosenna Bakari. She is the executive director of Talking Trees Inc., an organization that supports adult survivors of sexual abuse. “A protective order would have made [Huebsch] feel believed and supported by the legal system, as well as made her feel safe,” Bakari said. “If there was a protective order, she would have not had to beg for support that was never granted in her environment.” Subcommittee meetings on the bill will take place Monday for the Senate and Tuesday for the House of Representatives. The meetings will determine whether the bill moves forward.
DRAG p3
The drag queens could be seen taking dollar bills from people’s hands with their teeth and saying thank you by giving a lap dance or two multiple times throughout the night. The hosts and performers made jokes to liven the audience. The show started with host Alex Peters poking fun at his own hosting abilities, joking it was his “first time hosting anything besides a Grindr hookup.” For those in the audience, seeing their peers and others in drag was a way to relax but also very fun. “[Drag] gives you the ability to put on makeup and costumes in order to project an image,” Trevor Brammer, senior in Delta Lamda Phi, said. “Creating a character that represents you or your gender identity.”

If citizens show up, listen up Tyler Coffey/Iowa State Daily
President Trump has failed throughout his campaign and presidency to back up his “America First” mentality. Columnist Kelly argues that America is great because of its ideals, including its God-given natural rights, individual liberty, limited government and belief that authoritative bodies derive their power from citizens.
Too vague, too shallow Trump’s nationalist rhetoric all flash, no follow-through By Tom.Kelly @iowastatedaily.com
I
n an interview with the Washington Post earlier this year, President Trump, when asked about the origins of his campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” told a reporter, “... I had started off, ‘We Will Make America Great.’ That was my first idea. … And then all of a sudden it was going to be ‘Make America Great.’ But that didn’t work because that was a slight to America because that means it was never great before. And it has been great before.” Surprisingly, Trump has not been asked to elaborate on why America was — or, as many believe, still is — great. Consequently, one can only conjecture Trump’s beliefs regarding this matter. His “America First” mentality does not appear to be one rooted in principle. Rather, it is more closely aligned with simplistic, “blood-and-soil” nationalism. In other words, we are America, therefore we are great. Basic pride in one’s country is not innately flawed, but it is shallow and can tend toward tribalism. The truth is that America is great because of its founding principles and ideals: God-given natural rights, individual liberty, limited government and the belief that authoritative bodies derive their power from citizens, just to name a few.
The conservative definition of nationalism contends that America has prospered not because it has had many great successes, but because its ideals and fundamental principles are noble and worthy of aspiration, and the pursuit of those beliefs has fostered a civilization that breeds success by way of its guaranteed freedoms and its rule of law. This is not to deny that America has fallen far short of its own ideals many times in the past. But it is to suggest that maintaining these principles as a moral compass has kept America on the “right track” — namely, one that prioritizes the liberties of individual citizens who are endowed with natural rights, whether or not those rights are continually protected in practice. As a nation, our constant endeavor to realize our sublime Constitutional ideals has, generally, allowed us to maintain high moral standards and ensured the preservation of our rights. If Trump truly subscribed to this notion, rather than one that resembles blood-and-soil nationalism, one would not have expected him to remark that businesses should “buy American and hire American,” or to continuously threaten American businesses, should they decide to outsource jobs. To be fair, if Trump had alluded, in any capacity — whether within comments made, or policy proposals put forth, during either of his campaigns — to a belief that such comments or policy proposals were at least somewhat rooted in the belief that America’s exceptionalism is predicated on the values and principles it espouses, he likely would not have been accused of promoting the idea
that America’s material wealth and statistical “success” supersedes that of any other nation. For the sake of simplicity — in terms of creating binary opposition regarding terminology — one could look to patriotism as a refined projection of nationalism. However, although both concepts must necessarily be channeled in constructive directions, and not used as justification for amoral or illiberal acts, their distinction is far from negligible. On a basic level, nationalism solely emphasizes love of one’s country. Patriotism, on the other hand, promotes a love of one’s country founded in its core principles and beliefs. This is not to say that one cannot champion both notions in a sort of progression. Rather, it is to say nationalism varies significantly from patriotism in one crucial manner: It generally casts aside principle in favor of emotion. All available evidence suggests Donald Trump believes Americans should find solidarity in their common heritage. This belief is not inherently dangerous; it is not wrong for one to be proud of being American. But greater bonds of unity can be achieved when citizens see themselves as members of a nation that strives to uphold the rights of its citizens, and believes that those rights are unassailable. In other words, being proud of what America has accomplished is one thing. But understanding what America stands for inspires a deeper, more precise pride that is not overlyzealous or vain. A social fabric woven around a core of fundamental principles, as well as a knowledgeable appreciation for those ideals, is far less likely to tear than one whose composition rests solely on a vague feeling of superiority.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Why not strike the First Amendment? By David Bainbridge Senior in chemistry The writers at the Daily have done an excellent job of examining the Constitution recently. However, there is one portion of that terrible document they forgot to condemn, and it threatens our lives even more than others they have decried. Therefore, I modestly propose one addition to their editorials on the grounds that mine is milder and has more justification behind it. Yes, the First Amendment is outdated. This ill-conceived rule was only made so evil farmers could talk about the government, their peers and anyone else without being jailed for speaking without approval. Back in those times, they didn’t have rapid communication such as telephones and the internet. Words had to travel very slowly by mouth and perhaps carried by horses, giving plenty of time to prevent thought crime, which must be accounted for differently
today. Besides, black people and women had a different legal position, so we can automatically discount any ideal from the era as outdated. People like me who see the wisdom in discarding the First Amendment could amend the Constitution with a heavy majority in Congress. But it would be easier to tell people that it’s irrelevant and gradually pass laws to eliminate its range of application so we don’t have to wade through the tedium of coming up with better arguments and getting more seats in Congress on our side. Where does the First Amendment even fit in a good world? Should we have every mother and father explain their views of the world to their kids and spend the day worrying that the youth might come to a different conclusion? Should we accept the possibility that any worker you encounter on your daily business has different opinions than yourself? If a man were to shout fire in
a crowded theater, others would repeat his shout and some would shout the opposite, creating a complete mess for authorities determining if there ever had been a fire. Behold, this problem reaches to the beginning of recorded history, with individuals, nations and entire species that were described but whose existence is uncertain. Let’s make the ACLU a division of the government; any group that lobbies Congress is practically in the government already, never mind that some other lobbyist organizations are actually receiving federal funding. Perhaps they can distribute thesauruses or pamphlets on theories of government. When we give everyone a reason to question authority, what could go wrong? If someone shouted a slur at pedestrians from a car and sped away, I’d like to see free-speech advocates open their mouths and try to think of a rebuttal to erase the damage. Pro-speech rights people would rush to wave my example
away as an exaggeration and argue that people would have training to prevent poor grammar and logical fallacies. But they forget, we already have plenty of politicians to handle public speaking for us, so letting civilians have their own ideas is redundant. That’s why we should strike the First Amendment. I’m not claiming we need to abandon words or even the English language. We just need to control people more. Let’s clamp down the “right” to speak freely and peaceably assemble. We can’t trust 18-year-olds, 22-yearolds or 26-year-olds with responsibility like that; who knows what they might say? More ideas and thinking aren’t the answer to a complex situation like our modern world. Instead, we should move the designated area to assemble with controversial ideas off campus, then into a basement, and then require a permit to enter the basement. Hopefully, people will forget about free speech and religion before a disaster happens.
Voters were able to engage with their elected officials this past week as the House and Senate had in-district work periods. These meetings usually take place several times a year in coffee shops and places of worship and include a handful of attendees who just show up to listen. But, not in the Trump era. Senators and representatives were bombarded with questions ranging from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to the travel ban and the deportation of undocumented people. Iowa Sens. Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley hosted town halls and meetings throughout the state this past week and were met with constituents who were upset about the direction of the country, the new administration and legislative proposals. People packed rooms to express their support and dependence on the heath care provided through the ACA. Additionally, citizens used the time to advocate for their issues directly to the people who represent them in Congress. How did the White House and some congressional Republicans respond? By dismissing the thousands of people who showed up to express their concerns and simply be heard by their members of Congress as so-called “professional protesters.” Is this how our democracy now functions? Are concerned citizens who interact with their elected official simply written off as a paid liberal activists and have their opinions cast aside? We are living in a time when the American people seek and desire real leadership that transcends political ties. We the people want elected officials who listen and, more importantly, respond to our wants and needs. Unfortunately, it appears that Grassley and Ernst prefer to meet with only rural voters in venues that drastically limit their interaction with larger crowds. It’s important to note that Rep. Steve King of Iowa’s 4th Congressional District did not have any town hall meetings at all this past week. Our democracy does not stand if we the people who show up to talk with our representatives are written off as paid, professional and liberal activists. Every elected official at every level should make a considered effort to engage with the people who voted for them and the ones who didn’t. The true threat to our democracy is the lack of faith in the institution that legislates the people and derives its mandate from those people. The next significant legislative instate work period for senators is in mid-April. We hope that Grassley and Ernst come back to Iowa with a more open mind and provide the spaces to hear from a wide variety of constituents. Additionally, if they do get yelled at and are met with resistance, we hope they take that as a sign to move beyond dialogue and into action — not just any action, but the will of the people. If not, their next re-election effort will be marred by commercials of them being out of touch with Iowa voters, and putting corporate lobbyists before hard working Iowa families.

SPORTS TAKEAWAYS FROM UPSET VICTORY 6
Monday, February 27, 2017
Iowa State beat No. 9 Baylor 72-69 Saturday for fifth straight win By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State (19-9, 11-5 Big 12) continued its hot streak Saturday, beating No. 9 Baylor (236, 10-6 Big 12) 72-69 at Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones have won five straight games after a loss to Texas in early February and sit in a tie with West Virginia for second place in the Big 12. Here are three additional takeaways:
SOLOMON YOUNG CONTINUES STRONG PLAY Iowa State’s string of wins is directly correlated to freshman Solomon Young’s entrance into the starting lineup a few weeks ago. And that’s why when the Cyclones picked up yet another win Saturday, it was no surprise that Young had a large impact on the outcome once again. After picking up two fouls early in the first half — leading to just seven minutes on the court in the first 20 — Young played out the entirety of the second half to end with 27 minutes. He finished the day with 11 points and three rebounds, but one play was bigger than the rest and may have helped turned the game in Iowa State’s favor. While the Cyclones were up by just two midway through the second half, Young blocked Baylor big man Nuni Omot, which spurred a transition 3-pointer by guard Donovan Jackson. Hilton Coliseum erupted into a frenzy that rivaled the noise when Kansas came to town in mid-January.
“I think it was a great momentum changer for the team,” Young said. “A lot of tempo came after that play, and I think that’s when the game turned for us.” And about the noise? “It got pretty loud,” Young said after flashing a smile.
SCOTT DREW UNHAPPY WITH OFFICIALS Baylor coach Scott Drew had more than a few tirades against the officials on the court during Saturday’s game. On one occasion, he had to call a timeout to prevent himself from getting a technical foul. It was clear he was upset about the disparity in fouls. Iowa State had nine fouls while Baylor had 17, and the Cyclones went to the line 15 times compared to just five times for the Bears. When asked about that difference after the game, Drew got a bit snippy. “I don’t know, but the officials are right down from our locker room, so if you want to ask them, I’d like to know the answer,” he said. Perhaps the most controversial call came on the last shot of the game. With just over a second to play, Baylor trailed by three. A football pass down the court gave the Bears a 3-point chance to tie the game. Point guard Monté Morris contested the shot and got close to tapping Baylor’s King McClure on the arm. McClure missed. “I didn’t touch him,” Morris said. “I didn’t touch him at all, I just didn’t want him to get a clean look. I was just trying to contest it, but try be close to not

fouling also.” Drew said he wanted to watch film before making a judgement. “I need to watch on film,” he said. “That’s the great thing — film doesn’t lie, and we all learn from film — coaches, officials, everybody. Nobody wants to, but there are mistakes in every game. Not saying there were any. I think we all want to get better, and that’s why we’re in this thing.”
Baylor FG: 29-61 (48%) 3FG: 8-22 (36%) FT: 3-5 (60%) Turnovers: 11 Rebounds: 37 Max Goldberg/Iowa State Daily
IOWA STATE CONTINUES WINNING TREND Entering Saturday, the Bears beat the Cyclones in five straight games — twice at Hilton Coliseum. Earlier this season, Iowa State lost a tough battle in Waco, Texas, falling 65-63 with a chance to win in the final seconds. But not even the highly ranked Bears could stop the Cyclones’ recent hot streak. And it was obvious after the game that snapping the losing streak against Baylor was on the players’ minds. “I wasn’t a part of the two last year, but I felt like I was,” guard Naz Mitrou-Long said. “Especially after losing a heartbreaker like we did earlier this year, and the type of run that we’re on right now, we wanted to add to that.”
Iowa State primed for NCAA Tournament bid By Aaron.Marner @iowastatedaily.com Senior night for the No. 6 Texas women’s basketball team was supposed to be different. Texas had two home losses all year. The first was a close loss to then-No. 3 South Carolina, and the second came last Monday to No. 4 Baylor, a game that was decided by just three points. Hosting Iowa State, a team with a losing conference record, seemed like the perfect chance for Texas to end the regular season on a high note. Iowa State had other plans. The Cyclones (17-11, 8-9 Big 12) moved one win closer to the NCAA Tournament with a season-changing 7066 win over the Longhorns (21-7, 14-3 Big 12) in Austin on Friday night. With a one-point lead and just a few seconds left in the third quarter, Iowa State sophomore Bridget Carleton came up with a big steal on a Texas outlet pass and drilled a 3-pointer from about 35 feet. “It was a great play,” Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly said. “That was a great individual play. It was just a basketball play. She saw

the play, she jumped the passing lane and obviously throws in a long shot. “Those are the plays that change games… that was a great individual effort by a kid who understands the game.” Iowa State took a 58-54 lead into the fourth quarter. Texas proceeded to go on a 6-0 run to take its first lead since the 2:13 mark in the first quarter. The Cyclones have lost
multiple games this year in the final minutes after leading for the majority of the game. For a brief period, it seemed like that was destined to repeat itself again last night. Iowa State called timeout with just over seven minutes remaining, trailing by two. “I just said to them, ‘Hey, get your head up. We’re down two on the road to the sixth ranked team in
the country. We’re in a good spot,’” Fennelly said. Fennelly said this was one of the biggest wins in his 22 years at Iowa State. “It’s one of the big ones,” Fennelly said. “I don’t like to say best or whatever because it takes away from other teams, but if you wrote down 10 of them, it’d be on the list. “Especially the time of year, how important it was, the quality opponent on
the road… on paper it’s the highest ranked team on the road we’ve ever beaten. Anytime you beat Texas it’s good in anything, so it would definitely be on the list somewhere.” Iowa State missed the NCAA Tournament last year for the first time in a decade. Friday’s win, however, moved the Cyclones into the tournament field, according to ESPN’s latest bracket projection. Over the past few games, Fennelly has emphasized the importance of getting good play from his big three of Seanna Johnson, Jadda Buckley and Carleton. The big three combined for 54 of Iowa State’s 70 points while shooting 19-for-38 (50 percent) from the floor against Texas. The turnaround over the
last few weeks for Iowa State has been miraculous. Iowa State started 1-6 in Big 12 play with the only win coming at home against lastplace Kansas. In late January, the Cyclones found their footing with a pair of home wins, but still sat at 3-8 in league play. Since then, Iowa State has won four in a row and five of its last six to get to 8-9 in the Big 12. With the Big 12 Tournament starting in less than a week, Iowa State has clinched the fifth seed after West Virginia lost on Saturday. That gives the team a first round bye in the Big 12 Tournament, which is handed to the top six teams. But the Cyclones will still be playing for the seniors against Oklahoma State on Monday.
Lacrosse club reeling from loss After coach leaves, team is attempting to keep up its success By Kobe.Gaines @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State women’s lacrosse club received some unfortunate news last December when it found out that its coach, Courtney French, was stepping down because of a job opportunity in her hometown of Detroit, Michigan. The team had just made its second straight appearance at nationals but will now try to make it three in a row without French. French was more than a coach to the women’s lacrosse team; she was a role model, motivator and best friend to the women. The team will now move to a player-coach system. Kelly Piazza, Kirsten Larson,
Anna Corman and Brittany Pooley, who all will help lead the team, expressed great appreciation for their past coach. “Coach French helped get our name out,” Larson said. “She helped set up tournaments for us, and she was at every practice for the team. Coach French will be dearly missed, but her wise words and teachings will always be with us.” The team will keep the same style of play French used. “We are all willing to lead, even beyond the executive board, we are young and hungry,” Corman said. “This year is a fresh start for our team. Coach left the team in a good place. A lot of us know what to do.” With no returning seniors and
10 freshmen, the team has some inexperience playing together, but it is ready for another successful season. “All of us are set on one goal, and that is making it to nationals this year in Utah,” Pooley said. The team will open its season Saturday in Colorado against the University of Denver, which beat Iowa State 12-8 in the first round of nationals last season. The team plays four games every weekend and will compete in three tournaments this spring. The club is excited to get its season underway and prove that it is not an underdog. “We have nothing to lose but a lot to gain from this season,” Piazza said. “I hope our time in the offseason pays off.”

CABINET p1 provost. Leath said he has worked with administrative cabinets in the past, some smaller and some larger than the current cabinet he is working with. Stewart stressed the importance of developing strategies and policies that will not only adjust and fix any current areas in need of improvement but also vigorously act on behalf of preventing future problems from occurring or returning. “We are always pushing and striving to ensure that as executive and cabinet level positions open, that we bring in diversity,” Stewart said. “When you are dealing with really complex and multidimensional issues, you need complex multidimensional thinkers. “By trying to diversify your cabinet, what you’re saying is we want to make the best possible decision for our students, our faculty and staff and the citizens of the state of Iowa.” Stewart said his position is to manage all of the different places that faculty and staff members intersect, identifying where resources need to be directed and where personnel needs to be brought in. He said the role of the vice president for diversity and inclusion is to take on a forwardthinking motive with the question, “What makes Iowa State
University unique and special in this conversation in higher ed diversity?,” in mind. “We are asking you to treat each other with humanity and civility, but if you choose not to, we have procedures in place to address that,” Stewart said. “Having a cabinet with members who contribute multiple perspectives and invest those ideas into decision-making, actions and leadership for the university, the impact of which extends beyond campus, is essential for developing advanced and professional minds out of Iowa State University that can compete globally.” Gregory said diversity is a fundamental asset to any organization. “I think we have some opportunity ahead to increase the diversity at Iowa State and in all organizations,” Gregory said. “I am really glad to be at an organization that is so committed to that effort.” Gregory served in the Navy for
37 years. She oversees all the facilities and infrastructure at Iowa State. Her position also includes environmental health and safety and business services. She has enjoyed her position for the past seven months at Iowa State.
and gender. Both said there are areas that remain slightly underrepresented, and that under-representation provides room for growth in the cabinet. “I think that especially, for underrepresented people, I really believe that those who have the privilege to lead have a responsibility to enable others to have opportunities,” Gregory said. “I believe that senior leaders have a responsibility and an obligation to mentor.” Wickert held positions as department chair and dean before he attained his current role in Leath’s cabinet. “As provost of the university, that means I am responsible for all of the academic programs at the university,” Wickert said. “As a land grant university, we have strong programs in teaching, research and in extension.” Wickert said Leath has created a really positive environ-
“THE MORE DIVERSE OPINIONS, OUTLOOKS AND PERSPECTIVES YOU HAVE, THE MORE LIKELY YOU ARE TO MAKE A GOOD DECISION.” - LEATH “If you’re gonna make a baseball team, you don’t want nine third basemen,” Gregory said. “You want people with different skills. That is true in the cabinet, that is true every place. [Diversity] is essential if you want to succeed in the world today.” Gregory and Stewart believe there are multiple ways of defining diversity, and there are many descriptions that fall into that category that extend beyond race
ment that has led to progress and initiatives that improve the diversity and overall quality of the university. “I think the work that he has done to build a diverse and a talented cabinet is part of that,” Wickert said.”Universities have always been and always will be places of open, honest discussion on topics that are important to ourselves and important to our country.” Harmon is involved in a variety of leadership initiatives across Iowa State. He works directly in relation to the concerns of maintaining the value of student life. “I think [diversity] is absolutely important for two reasons: organizations function better when you have different perspectives involved in the decision-making because each one of us bring our own experiences and expertise to the conversation,” Harmon said. Harmon also said that it is important for students to be able to observe the diversity of the cabinet as having members who are leaders and represent their own ideas and can understand their life experiences. Leath added that there is strength in having different perspectives. “I am always amazed at the variety of perspectives and life experiences that come through with making critical decisions,” Leath said. “It is a lot better this way.”
