ISU team finds similarities between heart valves, wind turbines By Andria.Homewood @iowastatedaily.com More than a quarter of a million — specifically, 280,000. That’s how many people there are worldwide every year who need to replace their native heart valve with a new artificial one. Then, that valve needs to be replaced after every 15 years. With a demand like this, a group of research students led by MingChen Hsu, assistant professor

of mechanical engineering, is striving to make improvements in how industry models different products. For Hsu and his team, these improvements are on heart valves and wind turbines. While heart valves and wind turbines don’t seem to have a link, Hsu said they are similar in Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction. “A lot of physics you are looking at involves the interactions between fluids and solids,”

Hsu said. “In this case, the blood flow drives the vibration of the leaflet. The leaflet opens and closes. That [structural] motion also interacts with the fluid. Once that leaflet closes, the flow stops.” The process to model an artificial heart valve, as well as other mechanisms, has become markedly faster in the past two decades. “Fifteen years ago … people in mechanical engineering, when

Unlike regular cigarettes, electronic cigarettes are not currently regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. A final passage of the e-cigarette ban is expected to take place at the next Ames City Council meeting Tuesday.

Cyclones inspire regulations Health promotion club works to ban e-cigarette usage in public, on campus By Christie.Smith @iowastatedaily.com For some, Iowa State’s catch phrase “find your adventure” is an invitation to leave your mark on the world. Students with the university’s Health Promotion Club decided to start at the university level and work their way up. Their push for an ecigarette ban has inspired a university policy, city and county resolutions and is now on its way to the state legislature. The student group, led by adviser and kinesiology senior lecturer Denise Denton, first considered the possibility of an electric nicotine and delivery systems (e-cigarette) ban when the Story County Prevention Policy Board helped pass legislation to prevent selling e-cigarettes to minors. Before the summer of 2014, there was no age restriction in Iowa for purchasing e-cigarettes, despite the fact that e-cigarettes can deliver nicotine at levels consistent with traditional cigarettes.

When the board suggested an e-cigarette ban in public places, the Board of Health denied it, saying it would like to see the ban at the city level first, Denton said. “Well, what if [the ban] came from the students?” Nathan Davis, graduate student in food science and human nutrition and member of the Story County Prevention Policy Board, asked. Denton began cold calling several of the larger metropolitan areas to see what policies they had in place. Denton said she discovered that each of the three largest cities in the United States — New York, Chicago and Los Angeles —already had e-cigarette bans in place. When Denton introduced the idea to the students of the Health Promotion Club, the students saw an opportunity to make an impact on public policy. “[We asked] what is a public health issue that we can tackle that’s doable?” said Spencer Cain, senior in kinesiology and health and the Health Promotion Club’s president. “Everyone in the club was on board from the get-go.”

While the members of the club began to organize a survey to determine the community’s attitude toward e-cigarette usage, Davis began compiling research regarding the safety of e-cigarettes. “We saw a lot of data emerging from people like the World Health Organization … saying [e-cigs are] probably not as great as people make them out to be,” Davis said. “And they’re definitely not cessation devices.” Within one week, Cain and the other students in the club collected 599 surveys, Denton said. The surveys consisted of six questions that were given verbally to participants at several locations on and near campus, Cain said. The students developed and administered the surveys themselves, including questions that asked about participants’ willingness to support businesses where e-cigarette usage was allowed. “It was a really well-conducted survey because if you go back and look at the demographics, they fit the demographics of the university,” Da-

One international student organization will bring a piece of home to campus this weekend to celebrate the Chinese New Year. The Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CSSA) will host its annual Spring Festival Gala at 6:30 p.m. Sunday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. The Gala will host a projected more than 500 guests as they celebrate the Chinese New Year, which will take place Monday. The Spring Festival Gala is the CSSA’s most cultural and important event it will host this year, at least to the participating students. “I think preserving the holiday is very important to maintain and spread the Chinese Culture,” said Xue Bai, junior in industrial engineering and co-vice president of the CSSA. To bring in the new year, the CSSA has arranged 13 acts that will entertain guests as they get closer to the new year. “We will have song and traditional comedy, along with Dub H and traditional dances,” said Ye Zhao, senior in child adult and family services and co-vice president of the CSSA. The Chinese New Year is an important Chinese tradition that is celebrated at the changing of the Chinese lunar calendar. This time has become known as the Spring Festival. ”It’s like the Super Bowl, it’s a time for reunion and celebration,” Zhao said. The CSSA this year will try something new to spread more information about the Chinese culture. “We are trying to bring different cultures together to celebrate the Chinese new year,” Zhao said. “Together it would be a great opportunity for American students to learn and understand the Chinese culture.”

Student Government gears up for elections By Zach.Clemens @iowastatedaily.com The Student Government election commission is gearing up for this year’s elections, and it will be up to students to DeCyde The Vote. DeCyde The Vote is the Student Government campaign to let students know about the candidates for election and to remind them to vote. The election commission’s vice commissioner Robert Stokka, senior in political science, is working closely with the Student Government’s public relations committee to get the word out about the elections and the importance of voting. “Student Government isn’t just a club, it’s actually something that is a big part of Iowa State,” Stokka said. “It’s a lot bigger than people understand because they don’t take the time to look into

it.”

There will be 37 Senate seats open, as well as the positions of president and vice president. Candidates must register with a small biography of themselves and an official letter of intent to run by 5 p.m. Friday. Election commissioner Alex Rodgers, senior in agricultural and life sciences education, said during his four years on the commission that there has never been a full ballot, so there are opportunities for someone who wants to get involved. “There are always open seats,” Rodgers said, “If someone is interested in being on Student Government, there is probably a way to do it.” Candidates for the executive office — the president and vice president — have to get at least 500 student signatures to be able to run for the position. However, there are restrictions on how the signatures may

be obtained. Those signatures must be acquired outside of the classroom and be handed into the election commission by Feb. 18. A big goal of the election commission is to get the word out

to the student population to vote. They plan to hand out informational posters, candy, cups and other items to raise awareness among students to remember to vote. The voter turnout was up

last year in comparison to years before, but was only at about 13 percent of the student population. This 13 percent equates to just 4,135 votes. While the percentage may seem low, the number is comparable to other universities across the country. Regardless, the election commission still hopes for a higher turnout. “We can only dedicate so much time [with classes and other commitments] trying to get people interested to vote,” Stokka said. One change this year is the avenue that students will use to vote. In previous years, students would have go to a specific website to vote for the candidate of their choice. However, the election commission paid approximately $6,000 this year to use Qualtrics,

Police investigate stabbing Digital By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com Delancey Smith Jr., 32, has been arrested in the stabbing of an individual on Mayfield Drive, according to the Ames Police Department. At 1:45 p.m. Thursday, Ames Police responded to a call in regard to the stabbing. Smith was charged with being armed with intent, a Class D felony, and assault while displaying

a dangerous weapon, an aggravated misdemeanor. Jason Tuttle, investigations commander with the Ames Police Department, said that this was most likely a family dispute. He said when the officers arrived, they found the victim in the parking lot, and the suspect had run back into the building. Officers then went inside the building and took the suspect into custody. However, both the victim and the suspect were taken to the hospital.

The victim, 42, and a cousin of the suspect, was stabbed on the left side near his hip. Tuttle said the victim sustained a mild injury. The victim went to the suspect’s apartment and got into first a verbal altercation that led to a physical altercation outside in the parking lot, Tuttle said. The stabbing was reported at 1:55 p.m. Thursday off campus on Mayfield Drive, according to the ISU Police Department twitter account.

Cruz, Clinton come out on top in Iowa Caucus Ted Cruz made it look easy, while Hillary Clinton narrowly defeated Bernie Sanders in the closest Democratic caucus in history Monday. Cruz topped Donald Trump, who look poised to win based off of the Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics Iowa Poll, by more than 5,000 votes. The race was called early in the night by 9:30 p.m. Marco Rubio had a strong third-place showing, coming in just behind Trump. ISU political experts agreed Tuesday at a forum in the Memorial Union that Rubio has some momentum going into New Hampshire next week. On the Democratic side, the race between Clinton and Sanders went late into the night, as a handful of precincts took awhile to report. By noon Tuesday, the Iowa Democratic Party announced that Clinton received 700.5, while Sanders received 696.82. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and former Arkansas Gov. Mike

Huckabee dropped out of the race on caucus night. U.S. Sen. Rand Paul and former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum dropped out of the race Tuesday. Warren Madden retiring after nearly 50 years Warren Madden, vice president for business and finance, is retiring after nearly 50 years at Iowa State University. Leath made the announcement of Madden’s retirement during the first half of the men’s basketball game against West Virginia on Tuesday at Hilton Coliseum. The university

president later followed the announcement with a statement on his Twitter account. Madden’s retirement will be effective June 30, 2016. Madden received his bachelor of science degree from Iowa State in industrial engineering in 1961, according to the ISU Alumni Association. He then went on to earn an MBA from the University of Chicago before eventually returning to Ames. West Virginia tops Iowa State in Ames The Cyclones built a

15-point lead during the first 10 minutes of their game against the Mountaineers on Tuesday, but once the game was over, West Virginia had rallied back, beating Iowa State, 81-76. “This was a tough loss, a frustrating loss,” said ISU coach Steve Prohm. “We played really well, especially in the first half. Foul trouble negated a lot of good things. They figured out how to get back, and we didn’t close the game well. We’ve got to get better than this.” West Virginia handed

Iowa State its second home loss of the season and second loss in a row. “We just got outtoughed,” said forward Georges Niang. “When it came down to making plays and making toughness plays, they just outtoughed us.” Legal marijuana sales grow to $5.4 Billion in 2015 The growing market of marijuana in the United States continued to grow this past year — $5.4 billion in legal pot was sold in 2015, up from $4.6 billion in 2014, according to a review released by the ArcView

Group. The New York Times reported Thursday that demand is expected to remain strong this year, with a forecast of $6.7 billion in legal sales in 2016. “There is still a certain stigma around it,” Brandy Keen, co-founder of Surna, which makes technology for indoor cultivation, told the Times. “This is an industry that came out of the basement. It grew out of closets and basements and hidden facilities in cinderblock buildings.” By the end of the decade, legal market sales were forecast to be $21.8 billion, according to the report. Iowa State announces spring enrollment If you thought campus was crowded last semester, you should be happy with the enrollment number Iowa State announced Thursday morning — although it does break another enrollment record for the spring. Enrollment for the spring semester reached 33,659 students, down 2,342 from the fall enrollment, which was 36,001 students. The number announced Thursday sets a new record for spring enrollment, up 865 from last year. The Daily’s Michaela Ramm contributed to this section.

Diversifying Iowa crops Scientists urge farmers to try new product By Katlyn.Campbell @iowastatedaily.com A new study shows that despite a constant input into some Iowa farmland, farmers aren’t receiving yields in crop growth. Through the study conducted by ISU professors and researchers, they plan to target the areas where farmers can’t improve their yields with common agronomic practices. Elke Brandes, postdoctoral research associate in agronomy was the lead author of the study, with contributor Lisa Schulte Moore, associate professor of natural resource ecology and management and Science-based Trials of Rowcrops Integrated with Prairie Strips, or STRIPS, researcher. “The main metric that has been used in terms of farm success over time has been yield, but the inputs used in corn and soybean farming are very costly and so what we’re suggesting … that the main metric should be profitability …whether the farmers are actually getting a financial gain,” Schulte Moore said. Schulte Moore said some farmland has better profitability compared to others, which drag on the overall finances of the farm. This is because of the soil

Farming plays a big role in Iowa’s economy, supplying food and jobs in many different sections of work, but many farmers struggle with getting crops to grow in sections of their land that have less appropriate soil.

content, she added. “Basically, on some areas, the soil or organic matter is really good or there’s high nutrient value and has really good water-holding capacity during drier time periods,” Schulte Moore said. Schulte Moore used an analogy to make this concept easier to understand. “Not every single person has equal strength,” she said. “Some of us are stronger than others and some of us can do lots of exercise to improve our strength ... some of us can do lots of exercise but we’re probably not going to get all that much stronger.” The idea is to encourage farmers to stop inputs into acres where they won’t recoup their cost and instead ship those acres into lower cost perennial cover crops such as brome, switchgrass or miscanthus. “They can potentially

improve their profitability and at the same time address some of the other challenges we have with agriculture today,” Schulte Moore said. Brandes said there is a huge problem with today’s agriculture and how fields are managed today. The Midwest has an industrialized agriculture contributing to the pollutions of our world, Brandes said. One problem Brandes pointed out is the leaching of nutrients from the fields into surface waters and down through the Mississippi River into the Gulf of Mexico, where algae blooms are formed that kill fish because of less oxygen in the water. “The eyes are on the Midwest ... where that actually happens,” Brandes said. Further data needs to be collected to provide a potential solutions for this.

However, one way to better manage fields sustainably is by seeding this unprofitable land into high diversity vegetation such as prairie, and to get government support through the Conservation Reserve Program, which would potentially recoup profitability for farmers, Brandes said. Schulte Moore said she hopes farmers will consider devoting this unprofitable land to provide habitat for wildlife. Schulte Moore said they’ll be careful not to attract wildlife that would be a detriment to the farmer’s crop production. By planting diversified native plants, crop production could actually benefit. These plants would provide habitat for natural enemies: insects that eat other insects. “The potential is there that those kinds of insects would provide a boost to famers in terms of reducing the number of crop pests and improving the pollination of a crop like soybean that would improve overall yield for a farmer,” Schulte Moore said. Brandes agrees that by having these diverse prairies, crops would benefit along with wildlife, such as the monarch butterfly that is in decline, through the expansion of habitats for different species. The only thing standing in the way now is showing these farmers the evidence that this kind of sustainable agriculture could benefit them and the environment.

‘The Homestretch’ brings light to homelessness By Mollie.Shultz @iowastatedaily.com ISU students had a unique opportunity to see firsthand what it is like to be homeless. A documentary, which follows homeless teenagers, was shown in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union, and was followed by a discussion. “The Homestretch,” which follows three homeless teenagers, Roque, Kasey and Anthony, all from Chicago was shown Thursday night. Two of the teens,

Anthony and Kasey, live in the Teen Living Program, while Roque lives in the home of one of his teachers. The documentary was brought to Iowa State by Lisa Larson, assistant in University Student Ministry with the Collegiate United Methodist Church and the Wesley Foundation, and Emma Christianson, development coordinator at the Iowa Homeless Youth Centers. “I heard a lot about it, and it was shown at Reggie’s. And I talked to some students and there was a lot of excitement about it,”

Larson said. Larson and Christianson know firsthand how many children and teenagers are homeless. They hope that seeing this documentary will make people want to go out and do something positive for others. “It is real,” Christianson said. “They’re just like any other homeless kid we find in Des Moines.” The documentary has been shown around the country, including Drake University. Larson worked with the Lectures Program and had to coordinate with the company that produced

the film, Spargel Productions, in order to be able to show the film. Larson said her hope for the film was “to show what some different people are going through, to raise awareness and to get people involved.” While the lives of these teenagers have undoubtedly been difficult, they are among the lucky ones who have been given a second chance. The documentary follows the three as they attempt to overcome their past and strive for a better future. Despite their hard-

ships, the teens stay positive. Christianson said during the discussion that there are a variety of programs in central Iowa to help youth who need somewhere to go. They can get a shower, eat a meal and receive a variety of services. They also get help with continuing their education and finding a job. Christianson said it’s difficult to work with homeless youth and it can be difficult to see their challenges. “It’s the youth … I get to share the stories of the youth to the community … being able to be their voice

is what keeps me going,” he said. The documentary was well received by students. Alexa Terrington, sophomore in criminal justice and sociology, said the film made her want to go out and help others. She was also impressed by how positive the youth stayed during the challenge of their everyday life. “It made me very appreciative of the life I have and how much I’m taking for granted when the kids are working so hard for things that I have,” Terrington said.

they want to test something, they build it and then they test it to see the performance of the design,” Hsu said. “With computational engineering, instead of building the models literally, you model them in the computers and use a mathematical formula.” With the software, Hsu and his research team of five graduate students and two undergraduate students use, they can see how fluid moves around a model. For example, when a heart valve’s leaflets move, they can see the fluid interaction with the structure of the heart valve. This can be applied with wind turbine blades with how air moves around the blade and how it affects the blades. “We don’t know for certain that we have the best, most efficient wind turbine blade design,” said Austin Herrema, graduate student in mechanical engineering and the wind energy science engineering and policy graduate program. “There are so many things you can change. [With our research], I’d like to see at least a small contribution toward more

and logos and various other jobs. Heitshusen beat out 35 different applicants who were in the running for the position. Heitshusen is currently the only woman in the turf grass management field at Iowa State. Heitshusen has had previous experience working on Jack Trice Stadium, as well as experience with the Iowa Cubs in Des Moines and at Michigan State University. While at Super Bowl

50, Heitshusen said she will have time to learn under some of the best in her major, including George Toma, who has been involved in the industry since the first Super Bowl in 1967. “I’ve never worked with an NFL facility before, so I am really looking forward to raising my standards to how they run things,” Heitshusen said. The Toro Super Bowl Internship is now in its 12th year. Three ISU students have been recipients

throughout its history, more than any other school in the country. Dale Getz, sales manager at The Toro Company, informed Heitscusen she had been chosen for the internship, and will also accompany her to the Super Bowl. “The applicant pool that we have been getting from Iowa State University has been good and it has turned out well,” Getz said. Heitshusen said her adviser Barb Clawson, program coordinator in the horticulture department, has been a helping hand to Heitshusen since the beginning. Clawson said she was excited to see Heitshusen as the first woman to ever receive this internship, as well as the only woman in turf grass management. “I truly hope that by young women seeing that it’s attainable to them,” Clawson said. “All you need to do is do it.” As for her future, Heitshusen said she hopes to enter the work field as an assistant either at an NFL or collegiate facility.

efficient wind turbine technology, making more electricity using less money.” The code Hsu and his team use to write data files was even written by them. They then use other software to read the files their code writes, where they physically see how the fluids and structures of the heart valves and wind turbines move together. Hsu hopes the research can aid future scientists in building wind turbine blades that are more efficient by testing them with realistic computer models. This would save time and money. Hsu hopes that with his contributions to the research of heart valves, more time can be added to the lifespan of an artificial heart valve. Fei Xu, graduate student in mechanical engineering, said heart valves are the perfect topic to test computational mechanics on. “Recently, it’s become a hot topic,” Xu said. “Every 10 to 15 years, [people with artificial heart valves] need surgery to replace it. “We want to better understand why the artificial heart valve gets fatigued. After we understand that, we can improve the dura-

bility.” All of this work isn’t just about finding results. It’s also helping students learn how to work in teams and improve their experiences in the classroom. Carolyn Darling, senior in mechanical engineering, said Hsu was one of her professors and because of him, she decided to look into researching wind turbines. She discovered her love of coding through that research. “I was introduced to new programs and coding languages,” Darling said.

“I am doing a lot of MatLab in my classes now, and because I’ve had experience with it previously, it has helped me a lot. I plan on taking classes in the future where they use the design software that I’ve been using.” With their research, Hsu and his team hope to see improvements with wind turbines and heart valves over time. The team and Hsu are proud to contribute to something that could save a person’s life or could produce more renewable energy for the world.

The Stanford band had members dress up as a dancing cow before the band got into a frowning farmer formation at the Rose Bowl.

Eliza Sibley/Iowa State Daily

A caucus staffer attempts to organize ISU students waiting to caucus Monday night in the Pioneer Room of the Memorial Union. Columnist Heckle believes separating individuals into groups by which candidate they support and then taking a head count is an unfair and inaccurate process for the Iowa caucuses.

A broken system

Iowa must adopt more accurate nomination process By Michael.Heckle @iowastatedaily.com

s Iowa begins to cool from its heated political attention, questions raised about the accuracy and fairness of the Iowa Caucuses bring into light the flaws of this archaic nomination system. Iowa is one of only a few states that continues the practice of caucusing, which was started by presidential candidate Andrew Jackson in the early 1820s. While most states moved over to a primary election system in 1972 as a more efficient means of choosing delegates, 13 states — including Iowa — have chosen to stay with this inefficient and blatantly broken system. Caucuses themselves raise questions on the very nature of public discourse. With social advertising campaigns promoting bumper sticker politics, the foundation of this democracy rests in the hands of those politically aware enough to seek the truth. In theory, caucusing provides more of an opportunity to come together as a community to discuss political issues and their relationships to current candidates. However, public discourse isn’t something that should be reserved for one night. Moreover, it’s a bas-

tardization of the ideals of democracy to believe that one can accurately describe the multitude of issues facing the country in just a six-hour time period. Public discourse should be an everyday occurrence among citizens of all political parties and affiliations. The issue of public discourse, however, is not immediately addressed by simply switching to a primary system. The attitudes of Americans must change if we wish to have a truly educated populous. Yet, the flaws in the caucus system are in no way justified by the system’s feeble attempts to create intelligent discussion. As we can clearly see from this most recent caucus, the system’s major flaw comes from its most basic function — deciding who wins the nomination. With accusations of cheating and fraud coming from both parties, but were clearly emphasized by the left, questions about the effectiveness of a caucus to accurately represent the population must be raised. It’s no secret that Iowa’s caucus is one of the most important processes in selecting delegates. However, this seems to be without actual reason. Iowa, in general, is not very representative of the nation. We have a smaller population per capita and an abundant rural population. Its importance simply comes for its position as the first state to host such an event. Yet, the problems of a caucus system have been made extremely clear after this first round of nominations. One of the main problems, as I attempted to describe previously, is the

representation of the nation’s interest. Because of the lengthy duration of the caucuses, there is a much smaller turnout than most primary elections. Even with the idea of public discourse being upheld — or, in the very least, attempting to be — what good is an election system that doesn’t represent the interest of the people? Organizations within different caucus locations, at least on the Democratic side, are, in the most forgiving terms, extremely subpar. Since they are hosted by volunteers in community spaces such as school gyms and churches, caucuses tend to be loud and chaotic. The final tally is conducted by separating individuals into groups by who they support and taking a head count. It’s shocking that, with all of our technical advancements and more accurate systems already in place, the final count for one of the most important nominations for the most powerful position in the free world comes down to the equivalence of third grade classroom attendance — not to mention the practice of a coin toss in a tie. The issues that could be caused by this inaccurate and archaic nomination system are not merely hypothetical. With accusations of cheating and voter fraud aimed directly at the Clinton campaign, the flaws of the caucus system are being exemplified in real life. It’s time for Iowa, and other states like it, to grow up and adopt more accurate nomination systems if we want to continue to play such a crucial role in the presidential elections going forward.

Classroom education fails to do its job By Angelica.Lawson @iowastatedaily.com Something everyone has heard about during college is how vital it is to be hirable after college, being attractive to employers and building your résumé. It is driven into everyone’s mind from day one of their higher education experience that you have to posses skills that are marketable to future employers. As graduation season approaches, there are more and more conversations about job postings and who’s hiring. Have you ever noticed what the preferred experience level is? Many entry-level jobs request or require years of experience in order to be considered for the job. How are recent college graduates supposed to have years of job experience for something they’ve spent the last several years studying to do? They’ve been in school getting an education; why should employers be able to expect new post-grad students to have years of knowledge related to this specific field? These situations drive the question plaguing students, “How can I gain experience if I am being turned away from jobs for not having enough experience?” Plain and simple, it is frustrating. An entry-level job is created for people who are in the pursuit of experience and are just starting out. Requiring experience beyond the scope of being a students seems unfair in a way because it makes it seem like being a student is not enough anymore. Employers and experts alike

do not deny the existence of this bias. They explain the need for more experienced employees as a generational fact, but our generation — Generation Y, millennials — are “syllabused.” Syllabused — “syllabus abused” — is a newly coined term that means students are told what they are going to do and how they are going to learn to apply those concepts. Constantly being told what you have to do and having a timeline of dates set for you is limiting in the building of independent decision-making and reasoning skills. A study by the Council for Aid to Education in which 32,000 students were surveyed found that 40 percent of college seniors fail to graduate with the complex reasoning skills needed to be successful in the workplace. How can you combat being syllabused? If you are unable to gain professional experience you have to volunteer your time. Volunteering is a great way to gain experience without having to make a major commitment. You can volunteer when you have time in your schedule, and understand that there is no risk of being “fired” if you cannot be there every day. Having volunteer experience on your résumé proves that you take initiative and are able to make career building decisions. Make sure you have internship experiences. Go above the required and strive to have an internship each year. Internships provide great opportunities to gain the skills and experience employers look for without having to compromise during the

Iowa State Daily

Columnist Lawson argues that colleges need to do a better job of teaching skills and providing hands-on learning experiences to students.

school year. Students ultimately have to be willing to fill the skills gap between what they are being taught in class and what employers are looking for in potential employees until there is a clearer communication between what is being taught in the classroom and what is being desired by employers. This is not to say that the skills and hands-on learning experiences you get in the classroom are worthless; there’s just a need for more. Employers want employees they don’t have to train. Going into a job interview situation and having any form of experience is going to set you ahead. The need for a strong résumé that conveys how well you are able to make decisions, get experience, know how to reason within complex situations and your ability work well in group settings is more important than ever. The competition in the job

market is high, and you have to be able to prove that you are worth their time before you even say hello. The amount of stress students feel in their final semesters is mind blowing. First, you’re graduating; second, you have student loan payments due in six months; third, you need to get a job. There is not much else you can do except power through, get what experience you can and have an amazing résumé that expresses you as an individual and highlights the qualities that people are looking for. Those directing higher education need to figure out ways to educate without letting a syllabus control what and how students learn to truly produce job marketready graduates with the ability to reason for themselves. But until then, it falls on the shoulders of students to search outside of the classroom to become viable in the search for a career.

Stanford apology bill uncalled for When one thinks about the Iowa Senate and the work it does, topics that immediately come to mind are the economy, agriculture or the education system in Iowa. These are all things that directly impact anyone living in this great state, so using Senate time and its resources are clearly warranted. However, one topic has been introduced as of late and has nothing to do with Iowans, but instead with college students who make up the Stanford University band. As you may recall, the Iowa Hawkeyes got their you-know-what handed to them at the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1 by the Stanford Cardinal. While the pitiful matchup caught a lot of people’s attention, so did the actions put forth by the Stanford marching band. Stanford is known to go a bit overboard when it comes to its performances, but this instance added insult to injury for Iowa fans. The band had a few of its members dress up as a dancing cow, and during its halftime show, which ESPN cut away from during its broadcast of the game, the band got into a frowning farmer formation. In the moment, Iowans, fans of the Hawkeyes or not, were upset by their stunt. However, as time wore on, the offense seems to have fallen off of the public’s radar screen. That is, except for that of Sen. Mark Chelgren, R-Ottumwa. Chelgren has proposed a bill to the Senate regarding the actions of the Stanford band, saying until Stanford officials apologize publicly to Iowans for condoning the band’s behavior, none of the three major public universities in Iowa will be allowed to work with Stanford on anything. Well, everything except more football games. In what world does that idea have any logic since the issue started at a football game? The words tragically immature come to mind when thinking about this proposal because if it were to come to fruition it would deprive all four universities, Stanford included, of a relationship that has had a positive impact on education in years past. But perhaps the worst part is that relationship would have ended from something as trivial as a football game. Thinking about it in more depth, there really is no overwhelmingly positive outcome from this bill because the cost greatly outweighs the benefits, and the Senate should understand that. However, if it doesn’t see that factor, then perhaps it will see that it has mountains of other things to which it should turn its attention. The United States will elect its next president this year, and the implications the election will have on Iowans should top the petty apology demand being made by a man who’s holding a grudge far too tightly.

Cyclones learning valuable lessons Loss to West Virginia warrants wake-up call By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com The college basketball season is a long, winding road with twists and turns and peaks and valleys. Back-to-back losses are never ideal, but Iowa State (16-6, 5-4 Big 12) is mostly shrugging those losses off as learning experiences and trying to move forward as a team. “Obviously I want to get out there and win every game,” said forward Georges Niang. “But I feel like there is a lesson we can take out of every loss we’ve had.” Iowa State was pummeled on the boards against West Virginia, and Niang knows it. Niang had two rebounds, McKay had four rebounds and Nader had five rebounds against a team that is known for its ability to crash the boards. Knowing what West Virginia was going to try to do and not taking it away is unacceptable, Niang said. “You just can’t get punked on the boards for 40 minutes to a team that that’s how they score, that’s how they make their living,” Niang said. “So I think what we’re learning is to take away other team’s strengths and make sure they don’t take away ours.” Niang understands the ebbs and flows of a college basketball season as a senior. He’s been through the peaks and the valleys and understands it’s all a part of the process. Niang knows that his team will be just fine, despite back-to-back losses, and he’s clearly not panicking on certain issues the team faces, at least not when asked about them by media members Thursday. He was asked about Iowa State’s rebounding woes and how the team can improve in that area. “We bring out boxing gloves and we just fight each other; that’s how you get better at rebounding,” Niang joked. On a more serious note, the back-to-back losses

don’t seem to be weighing on Niang’s mind. “Basketball is basketball,” Niang said. “You lace up your shoes, you go out there and play. We did that and we got beat. Did we play to the best of our abilities? No. But there is a good amount of the season left where we can go prove what we can do and how good of a team we are.” The Big 12 and the NCAA are both wide open with a lot of capable teams, but none that have stood above the rest. At 16-6 overall and 5-4 in the Big 12, the Cyclones feel good about where they are at in relation to where they want to be at the end of the season. It’s not about the wins and losses in early February or late January as much as it is about lessons learned and becoming better prepared for postseason play. ISU coach Steve Prohm said he’s been trying to reiterate the big picture all season. “I know in my heart, I believe we’ll get to where we need to be,” Prohm said. “Now, how many Big 12 regular season wins that is? I don’t know. This league is extremely tough, and the margin for error is very, very thin.” That’s something Iowa State has learned all too well in conference play. Iowa

The Cyclones lost their second consecutive game against West Virginia on Tuesday, but will try to get back on track against Oklahoma State on Saturday in Stillwater, Okla.

State’s four Big 12 losses have been by an average of just more than four points. “We’d rather not take losses, but like I said, we just got to learn from every loss we take and just take the positives and run with it,” said forward Jameel McKay. When you really look at it, Iowa State is only a few bad possessions away from beating West Virginia and Baylor at home. That would presumably shift the conversation away from the negatives. “It’s just the one or two losses that kind of stick in your gut,” Prohm said. A few losses in a row and a few lessons learned, but Iowa State is looking forward now. The Cyclones have taken their lumps, and frankly, they know they’re going to be just fine. “It hurts right now,” said Monté Morris. “But if we’re cutting the nets down in Houston, we aren’t going to remember this situation.”

ISU wrestling revisits tough UNI environment By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com The five senses all come into play at Northern Iowa’s West Gym. It’s dark, it’s hot, it’s sweaty, it’s loud, and the last time ISU wrestling traveled to West Gym to wrestle UNI, it tasted like victory for the Panthers. In 2014, the Panthers beat the Cyclones for the first time since 2004. The Cyclones hold the all-time series against the Panthers, 56-17, so when the Panthers won in 2014, they made sure the Cyclones knew about it. Does ISU wrestling’s 165-pound Tanner Weatherman remember the showboating after the 24-13 UNI victory? “Absolutely,” Weatherman said. “They did kind of showboat on us a little bit. They had a good team that year, so give them credit where credit is due, but to disrespect us like that. Something is always going to kind of stick with you, definitely as a program for sure.” In 2015, ISU coach Kevin Jackson said Northern Iowa acted like it won the national championship after every Panther arm was raised in victory. Iowa State got its revenge last season at Hilton Coliseum, defeating UNI, but it will travel back to Cedar Falls at 7 p.m. Friday in an attempt to get a positive outcome. “We’re not someone

you can disrespect and get a way with it,” Weatherman said. “We are going to smack you back in the mouth. I don’t expect anything less than that.” Weatherman will wrestle fellow top-15 wrestler Cooper Moore. He pinned Moore earlier this season at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational. “If Tanner goes out there to score points, and dominates and wrestles the way he’s capable of wrestling, he’s going to be fine,” Jackson said. It won’t be easy, however, because of the venue — West Gym.

Weatherman said West Gym is smaller than his high school gym at Ballard High School in Huxley, Iowa. Even though it’s small, the UNI fans make enough noise to compensate. But Weatherman embraces the raucous atmosphere. “It’s a fun atmosphere. Everyone’s rooting against you,” Weatherman said. “You have the target on your back. You’re the enemy. They all hate your guts, screaming at you, stalling, this and that. I embrace it. It’s a fun atmosphere, and I think it’s a good place to test your mind mentally for

the national tournament.” While Weatherman will embrace the revenge factor, 133-pound Earl Hall will remain composed. “[Coach Jackson] told me not to get into the hype, so I’ll just wrestle my match,” Hall said. “Walk out onto the mat, smile, shake his hand, walk off the mat and be calm about it.” In between smiling and shaking his opponent’s hand, No. 8 Hall will wrestle No. 15 Josh Alber. Hall holds a 2-0 record against Alber in his career. “I’m not really worried about what he has,” Hall said. “I feel like he doesn’t

have much of an offense. If I let him control the pace, then I lose but if I just go out there and wrestle, then I’ll dominate.” ISU wrestling’s 125-pound wrestler, Kyle Larson, has never made the trip to West Gym, but he’s heard plenty about it. “They all say it’s just super hot, a really compact, small gym,” Larson said. “There’s a lot of fans there, it’s loud. But like [coach Jackson] was just saying, ‘Yeah, it’s a hostile environment, but would you rather go somewhere and wrestle in a cold gym, or would you rather wrestle somewhere

in a hot gym?’ We’d rather wrestle in a hot gym.” Larson will have a tough task a head of him. He’ll wrestle No. 7 Dylan Peters. Larson said Peters has a bread and butter move that leads to pins. Larson has been working on that position in practice, making sure to avoid getting caught on his back. Larson isn’t just trying to avoid the pin, he’s trying to get the upset. “I just have to get to his legs,” Larson said. “He’s injured, he’s injured pretty good. So I think the key for me is to wrestle hard for seven minutes, stay on him, keep attacking and just be aware of that one move. That’ll give myself the best chance to win.” UNI boasts a roster with five ranked wrestlers. However, Jackson thinks his team matches up well. “We know what the matchups are,” Jackson said. “We feel like we should be favored in quite a few matches. But again, you have to go out there and you have to make it happen.”

E-CIGS p1 vis said. “Ultimately, the statistics show that there was an overwhelmingly negative stigma toward [ecigarettes].” At the same time, in October 2014, Ames High School’s Mayor’s Youth Committee decided to conduct its own survey, Denton said. The committee collected 631 surveys from students and staff. Armed with data from more than 1,200 local surveys, Davis called in a favor with a friend on Student Government and got on the agenda for a meeting in February of 2015. Davis and several students from the Health Promotion Club attended the meeting to show support for a ban of e-cigarette usage on university property. Davis spoke to the Senate and presented the research he had done and the surveys collected by the club. After a long debate among the senators, the Senate agreed to pass the resolution up to the Faculty Senate. Denton said she thought the driving force for the Senate’s support of the ban was the fact that so many members of the Health Promotion Club were in attendance. “Decisions are made by people who show up,” Denton said. While the students waited for the university to make a decision regarding the ban, Ames City Council directed city staff to draft options for a city policy after learning that Iowa City had voted on a first passage of a ban there in June. Story County decided to ban ecigarette use on county property in July. Things died down for the student group during summer break, while Denton kept in touch with public policymakers in other states and cities, monitoring national attitudes toward e-cigarette bans. When the students arrived back on campus for the fall semester this year, Cain said the fight for the ban picked up steam again. The club attended several Ames City Council meetings and sent letters to its local and state representatives. Iowa State Sen. Herman Quirmbach, former Ames City Council member, took an interest in the students’ initiative, Davis said. In December 2015, the proposed ban on campus was expected to take place soon and city staff came back to City Council with four options for handling the use of e-cigarettes in public places in Ames.

Iowa State Daily

Electronic cigarettes were invented in the 1960s, but have only recently become popular in the United States. The Health Promotion Club at Iowa State is trying to pass legislation in Iowa that would prohibit the use of e-cigarettes in public.

City Attorney Judy Parks and Assistant City Attorney Jessica Spoden gave the council four options: it could adopt a policy similar to the one that had gone into effect in Iowa City over the summer, it could adopt a policy banning ecigarettes in all of the same places as traditional cigarettes via the Smokefree Air Act, it could mirror the proposed ISU policy or it could do nothing. Several students, members of the Story County Prevention Board, Healthiest Ames Board and Health Promotion Club spoke in favor of the ban during a public forum, according to City Council minutes. Cain presented correspondence he had with Quirmbach, saying the senator intended to push the e-cigarette ban at the state level. By the end of the evening, the council voted 5-1 to direct the city attorney to draft a policy mirroring the Smokefree Air Act; effectively banning e-cigarette usage in all public places where traditional cigarettes are banned, with an exception for e-cigarette stores. The proposed policy would also allow the parks and recreation department to create policy specific to public parks. In January 2016, the policy was introduced to City Council in its entirety; a resolution for the ban was passed unanimously for a first, and then a second time during two separate meetings of the council. That same month, the university ban went

into effect, and the Health Promotion Club set a date with the Iowa Legislature for March to lobby for the policy it had first decided to tackle just more than a year ago, Cain said. Cain said he and the other students were relieved to see their work pay off in what was a relatively short amount of time. “Public policy takes a long time, typically,” Cain said. But the work for the Health Promotion Club isn’t done. “The end goal is to take it to the state,” Cain said. “We wanted to focus first on the university because it was an accessible body for us … foreseeably it was something we could really make change in.” Denton, who has worked in public policy for more than 20 years, said it was a great learning experience for the students to see the process that public policies go through. She said she hoped by seeing the process from start to finish, students would be inspired by the impact they forged on their community. Although many of the students involved in the proposed policy are studying and interning in fields such as kinesiology, where public policy will be all in a day’s work, Davis was motivated to get involved by something else. Davis, whose graduate research focuses on the safety of microwave popcorn, said he joined the Story County Prevention Policy Board with a desire simply to serve the community. “Students have a voice

and they should care,” Davis said. “I think so many students discount themselves.” Davis said students not only have the opportu-

nity to be civically engaged during their time at Iowa State but believes they have an obligation to do so. “I was motivated because it was my civic duty,”

Davis said. Cain and Davis agreed that the process of introducing the public policy not only made them feel good about helping the community but also helped them develop their soft skills — like public speaking, shaking hands and maintaining eye contact — and helped prepare them for future internships and job interviews. A final passage of the e-cigarette ban is expected to take place at the Ames City Council meeting Feb. 9. The pair said there is no time like the present, especially while in college, to get involved in your community. “You can start your own movement,” Davis said. “You can have a say in what your community does and in the quality of life that you experience.” The Health Promotion Club is open to all students, faculty and staff. More information about the club can be found online. The Story County Prevention Policy Board is open to all residents of Story County. It hosts monthly meetings at the Youth and Shelter Services in Ames.
