s you enjoy lunch at one of the 21 dining locations on campus, do you ever find yourself wondering how your food got there? How long did it take for the bag of chips that you are eating to get to the Memorial Union Food Court? Students like Brandon Wetterberg, sophomore in aerospace engineering, don’t give much thought to where their food comes from before they put it on their plate. However, Karen Rodekamp
ISU orders food Mon. - Fri. from a company in Kansas City, Kan., which is about 230 mi. away.
is responsible for where food comes from in order to feed ISU students. Rodekamp is the food stores manager for ISU Dining and she places food and drink orders five days a week for each dining location and convenience store on campus. Rodekamp’s food orders are placed with local growers or companies in Kansas City, Kan., Des Moines and Cedar Falls, and are delivered every Monday through Friday. “I purchase 300 commodity items, sauces, beans, spices and canned and bottled soda product,” Rodekamp said. Martin Bros. Distributing,
located in Cedar Falls, makes two trips to Ames every Monday through Friday. The drive is approximately 188 miles round trip. In one week, the distributing company travels approximately 1,880 miles. Wetterberg said he shops for groceries once a month. When he shops, he tends to shop at chain stores like Walmart and Target, instead of a farmers market. “[I] just mainly [buy] snack foods like mac ‘n cheese, chips and stuff like that,” Wetterberg said.

Fake petition causes strong reaction for female voters By Montana.Crow @iowastatedaily.com Students at Iowa State signed a petition to end women’s suffrage because of the unfamiliarity with the word suffrage on International Women’s Day. “It seems like every person in the campus should have had a history class in middle school or high school that should have studied women’s suffrage,” said Dianne Bystrom, director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics.
Suffrage isn’t a term students use regularly, and the students signed the petition thinking they were helping women, Bystrom said. Jake Dagel, the Iowa field coordinator for Turning Point USA, which is a non-profit organization created to educate students about the importance of understanding government workings, got two full pages of signatures to end women’s suffrage before a student called him on it, which is available to watch on Dagel’s video.

New gas boilers will lower costs, diversify energy sources for ISU By Katie.Titus @iowastatedaily.com Using both coal and natural gas will help keep costs low for the ISU and Ames community. It is best to be neither 100 percent gas nor coal in order to avoid market fluctuation, according to a case study done by Market Realist. Iowa State has three 80-ton natural gas boilers that were
delivered to the on-campus power plant, in addition to the two coal boilers. The university plans to run two of the natural gas boilers and one of the coal boilers at a time in efforts to keep costs lower. Natural gas has the one-up on coal because it is more ecofriendly to burn. In the Ames community,

Benjamin Worrell, senior in civil engineering, found an ancient bison horn while taking a walk near Squaw Creek in December. Worrell has decided to keep the horn and add it to his collection of Indian arrowheads, pottery shards and spearhead.
ISU student discovers ancient bison horn near Squaw Creek By Mariah.Griffith @iowastatedaily.com Sometimes a guy is in the right place at the right time. Benjamin Worrell, senior in civil engineering and an archeology enthusiast, found an ancient bison horn while taking a walk near Squaw Creek in December. “It was actually in the creek and a couple of feet underwater,” Worrell said. “There were a bunch of round rocks … and then there was one that was cone shaped, and I thought, ‘what the hell is that?’” Worrell said he used a wire he was carrying to dangle over the water, and a long stick to fish the object out of the creek. “When I finally got it to the bank, after a lot of effort, [the horn] was all mucky and muddy, and I just chucked it up on the bank because I thought it was from some kind of cattle or something,” Worrell said. According to his measurements, the horn itself is a foot long and still attached to about 8 inches of a partial skull.

The bison horn that Worrell discovered measures a foot in length and has eight inches of the bison’s skull still attached. Worrell is a part-time worker at the Iowa Department of Transportation.
“I left it outside through rain and all that stuff, put it on my front patio and didn’t really learn much more about it for a while,” he said. Worrell said that he remained
curious about the horn as he showed it to friends, but his Internet searches for a breed of cattle with horns of the correct dimensions and shape proved fruitless. Worrell works part time at the Department of Transportation, where his archaeologist coworkers helped him identify that the horn was from an ancient bison. Matthew Hill, associate professor of anthropology, said the specimen was most likely from the species Bison antiquus occidentalis, which lived shortly after the most recent ice age. DNR geologist Matthew Graesch indicated that the specimen is likely from the same time frame, making it approximately 10,000 years old, if not older. Graesch added that this age would likely put similar animals in the same era as the earliest Native Americans in the Midwest. However, that doesn’t mean that the specimen was in Squaw Creek for the entire time. Worrell said his geologist coworkers at the DOT told him the horn was probably preserved in a gravel pocket

By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com Members of the University of Oklahoma chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon were forced to move out of their house Monday after a video of some of the men chanting racial slurs was leaked last week. The video, which started circulating late Sunday evening, shows men on a charter bus signing a chant, including “There will nev-
er be a n***** in SAE” and “You can hang them from a tree, but they’ll never sign with me,” the OU Daily reported. Since then, the university disbanded and the national headquarters have closed the chapter, the house was vandalized, the fraternity’s letters were removed from the house, all the members were asked to move out immediately and rapper Waka Flocka Flame canceled his performance at the fraternity.
The chant has even garnered national attention, with White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest addressing the video for about a minute in his Monday morning briefing. University President David Boren said he has no sympathy for those involved at a press conference at the university on Monday. “We don’t provide student services for bigots,” Boren said, according to the OU Daily.

The Rube Goldberg machine, which was created by Iowa State’s Rube Goldberg Club, features a Hollywood movie theme. One scene the machine can recreate is the lightning strike from “Back to the Future.”
SIMPLE TO COMPLEX
Rube Goldberg Club made of designers, engineers heads to nationals By Claire.Norton @iowastatedaily.com Chutes, pulleys, mousetraps, slides, wheels and movies. You name it, the Rube Goldberg Club has it all. The goal of a Rube Goldberg machines is to complete a simple task in as many steps as possible. With the world championship competition approaching, Brendan Favo, president of the Rube Goldberg Club, said the group is shooting for the maximum of 75 steps as the goal. Because the Rube Goldberg Club is made of students in both engineering and design, Favo, senior in design, said he believes this will add more value to the machine’s aesthetics,
as well as construction. “We feel that because we are both engineers and designers — this is primarily an engineering contest —so we feel that by having the designers, we have an advantage over the competition,” he said. Rube Goldberg Club also aims to develop nostalgia for classic Hollywood movies. Each box in the machine incorporates a different classic Hollywood movie scene with a link to the next step in the machine. The machine recreates scenes like the lightning strike from “Back to the Future” that returns Marty McFly to present time, followed by “The Dark Knight” scene that crashes a car to trigger the
semi truck flip scene. Other movies featured in the machine include “Up,” “King Kong,” “The Great Escape,” “Indiana Jones” and “Harry Potter.” The group spends numerous hours each week to make each scene perform up to standard, and members continue to make adjustments and improvements to create a smoothworking machine. The club also intends to install speakers at the bottom of the machine to enhance both the quality and character of each scene, as well as the piece as a whole. Favo said the toughest challenge the group faces is finding time and the supplies required to move on with the project. Members fundraise
from small businesses, such as Panda Express, and use start-up fundraising cites to reach enough money to operate and create quality scenes for their machine to succeed within the competitions. Other members of the club said they joined because they believed it was unique and interesting, as well as something competitive and fun to be involved in. Jeremy Price, who is the club’s CEO and in charge of the engineering side of things, said the competition is not as big as it once was. “It’s a competition that is slowly diminishing in popularity and ... this year, they added an online portion, and that’s where the international part comes

in,” Price said. Members hope the Rube Goldberg Club will become a growing tradition. Not only does the club benefit members by allowing creative experimenting, it’s also something to put on résumés. Rube Goldberg Club encourages team building, relies on problem solving skills and enhances engineering and design skills,
Favo said. Excited about redesigning the Harry Potter portion of the machine, the club has delegated each specific scene to two individuals, in order to provide special attention to each piece. The Rube Goldberg Club is gearing up all in hopes of succeeding at the official national competition in Columbus, Ohio on March 28.
Club ‘shoots for the moon’ by making robot in NASA competition By Evan.Howe @iowastatedaily.com Everything is silent. The surface is cold and dusty and over the horizon — Earth and beyond. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were able to feel what it’s actually like to traverse the moon’s surface, but a group of ISU students is now trying to do the next best thing — send their new creation to the moon in their stead. The ISU Lunabotics Club, led by Garret Schieber, senior in mechanical engineering and president of the Lunabotics Club, is working on a completely automated machine that has the potential of opening a path to a trillion dollar industry via space mining and colonization. Schieber’s team is one of 19 teams slated to compete at NASA’s 2015 Robotic Mining Competition. The club’s results have been on the rise in recent years. “It’s been a great ride these last four years,” Schieber said. “Getting to watch the club grow from a group that had no awards to a group with many, on top of being one of the best in the competition.” When the time comes for these robots to be deployed into space, they will ride the new state of the art Orion spacecraft. Once in space, they can be taken to the moon or even farther. On the moon, the robots can begin paving the way for mankind. Through the use of 3D printing, they will be able to start building shelters that will eventually be covered by lunar soil, which is called regolith. The regolith will help shield the inhabitants from
all the solar and cosmic radiation that would otherwise harm or even kill them. The regolith itself contains small amounts of ice and oxygen, which can be used to help sustain a colony. It even contains a special isotope of Helium called Helium-3, which can be used as a high yielding energy source. Once a lunar colony, so-to-speak, is established, there are many potential applications. The moon could be used as a way point between Earth, Mars and beyond. The mining of elements that are rare on Earth, but abundant elsewhere, could potentially be a multi-billion or even trillion dollar industry. The NASA competition focuses on the development of robotic mining technology, and ISU Lunabotics was the first club to have an autonomous one. NASA’s goal for this competition is to help generate research data, as well as raise public awareness through its outreach programs. The team has currently devoted more than 3,000 human hours to the project and shows no sign of slowing down. Lunabotics members said they are willing to put forth so much work because it is such a great experience. “It is a great way for boosting future careers due not only to the actual work, but all the budgeting, formal documenting and outreaching that comes with it,” Schieber said. The team’s outreach program is focused on raising public awareness and the education of children. The group participated in a presentation at Clive Elementary two weeks ago.
Brian Mozey/Iowa State Daily
ISU Lunabotics Club members from left: Tyler Broich, Phillip Molnar, Garret Schieber and Jason Herzog are working on the completion of a lunar crawler that could potentially be used for mining on the moon. The crawler was built in the Nuclear Engineering Laboratory.
“The program has been very successful,” said Jessica Bales, senior in public relations. Some politicians believe NASA, along with its missions and projects, no longer carries the same weight of importance that it once did and that taxpayer dollars should be reallocated somewhere else. A little known fact is that much of the technology that we use today was first developed by NASA. “We wouldn’t have solar panels without NASA,” Schieber said. Putting a colonization plan into action is still a few years away. Current estimates for when a robot will participate in the first mission range from around the year 2030 to 2035.

Many students like the idea of taking a few summer courses to lighten the academic load during the spring and fall, but committing a significant amount of time out of the Summer Break can be a deterrent. The Iowa Lakeside Laboratory — casually known as Lakeside Labs — allows students to avoid this dilemma, making it possible to earn 300-level class credit in one week. Owned by the state and operated through the Board of Regents, the 147-acre Lakeside Lab campus is located on the shore of West Lake Okoboji in Dickinson County, and operates under the motto of “the study of nature, in nature.” The lab itself is historic. Established in 1909, it now houses an expansive diatom collection. The campus includes multiple buildings constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Part of the lab’s stated mission is to offer research and credit opportunities to students of all colleges and universities in Iowa. Professors and scientists from varied universities and around the state come to the lab every summer to teach classes that may not be available on every campus. Registration is now open for the 20 classes being offered this year, which range in duration from one to four weeks. Students can study anything from scientific writing to fire ecology to ichthyology [the study of fish]. “Most of these courses are applicable to degree
programs as electives in any environmental-based science or biology majors,” said Steve Hendrix, director of academics and research. “Because of the immersion style [of class] that we use, we can offer one semester hour of credit for every week of class.” This immersion style means that students live on the lab’s campus and take only one course at a time, with classes from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every weekday during the course. “It’s a sort of cram or crash course,” said Kathleen Delate, ISU professor of horticulture, who will be teaching a two-week course on agro-ecology at the Lakeside Laboratory this summer. “But on the other hand, [students] get so much more time in the field and hands-on experience because these [classes] are small and during the summer.” Hendrix also believes that small class sizes contribute to the special benefits for students at Lakeside. “What you get when you come to Lakeside Lab is a unique learning experience that cannot be duplicated on campuses,” Hendrix said. “One of the key factors is that all our classes are small. We are limited by how many students we can get into a large van.” Promotional materials note that the Lakeside Lab campus offers students a variety of environments to study, including woodlands, prairies and freshwater ecosystems. This allows the laboratory to offer classes studying all types of organisms. “There’s a dense concentration of many diverse
kinds of habitats,” said Jane Shuttleworth, education coordinator in the lab’s promotional video. “It’s the perfect place to teach about nature using the outdoors as a classroom.” Hendrix said that the concept of “outdoor classrooms” provides special opportunities to students studying live organisms. “Those are some of the immediate benefits you get by taking a course,” Hendrix said. “You learn about organisms and you get to handle them, you get to study them in their natural habitats, you get to learn how to study them, how to ask scientific questions, et cetera.” He also believes that taking classes at Lakeside affords students long-term benefits and networking opportunities. “Because you have small classes ... the faculty get to know students very, very well,” Hendrix said. “That translates into the kinds of letters of recommendation that allow you to rapidly develop careers, whether you’re going into a job or going to a graduate program.” He added that some professors at Lakeside have more than 25 years of experience and still regularly email back and forth with past students from their Lakeside Labs classes. Hendrix said that although a variety of classes are currently being offered, the laboratory always has its “ear to the ground,” looking for new professors and interesting coursework for students. “We’re doing some traditional classes — sometimes that we’ve done for
as much as 50 years,” he said. “Classes that maybe are traditional but don’t get offered too often, to some very new classes. For example, we have arts kinds of classes too that we’re working on, including a scientific writing program.” Hendrix also noted that the location of the campus facilitates fun extra-curricular activities for students. “There’s no shortage of recreational opportunities at the lab,” he said. “We have bicycles so students can just pick a bicycle up and go for a bike ride. We have hiking trails, we have a volleyball court, we have canoes, we have kayaks, we have a paddle board, we have a windsurfer, we have a slack line now — it’s fun to watch people try to get across that — we even have a nice little fire circle where students can hang out in the evenings.” To register for a class, students can visit the Iowa Lakeside Laboratory website, http://www.continuetolearn.uiowa.edu/ lakesidelab/, create an account and fully register online. Several scholarships are available to assist with the cost of classes, including some of the 50 annual room and board scholarships available to students with a GPA of 3.0 or better, not all of which were claimed as of last Tuesday. The University of Iowa acts as the administrative body of the Lakeside Laboratory, and thus, course numbers are listed in thousands instead of hundreds, but the 3000-level listings are considered junior- and senior-level classes, Hendrix said.
Naval ROTC shares leadership, first aid skills with international student group By Kelly.McGowan @iowastatedaily.com Naval ROTC will train international students from the group U.S. Education without Borders in first aid at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in room 100 of the Armory. This is the first event of collaboration between NROTC and the international student group. USEWB gives students leadership experience and builds social and professional connections, while getting them involved in American life. Nearly 4,000 international students attend Iowa State and 3,496 of them are from Asian countries, according to the Iowa State Fact Book. Most USEWB members at Iowa State are Chinese, a volunteer said. “It’s going to be a very basic simple first aid class,” said Cmdr. Daniel Buhr, executive officer of Naval ROTC. “But it’s really not about the first aid class. It’s about the collaboration be-
tween us and them, and getting to know them better.” Buhr understands the importance of cross-cultural relationships from his Navy experience and he said understanding and experiencing other cultures creates a community. “At the higher levels, you realize that this interaction is critically important,” Buhr said. The course, taught by marine officer instructor Capt. Peter Opalacz and assistant marine officer instructor Staff Sgt. Christopher Harrison, will break down a week-long Red Cross first aid training into one simplified session. All students are welcome to join and participants will receive training completion certificates. “As we interact, we start to learn to understand each other,” Buhr said. “I think that’s probably the most valuable piece.” USEWB offers a variety of ways for students to participate in American life and has services worldwide. The
organization’s president Swallow Yan graduated from Iowa State in 1995. He started the organization in 2006. It was recognized by former Gov. Chet Culver in 2010 with the International Education Leadership Award. Yan said it is difficult for international students to get out of their circles, and he hopes the cultural exchange benefits them socially and professionally. “It’s a lot of leadership,” Yan said. “These programs are important for international students to build up their confidence, credentials, achievements and leadership.” The program allows students to volunteer and participate in political life. Members have met Bill and Hillary Clinton, Terry Branstad and Chuck Grassley. It is difficult for students to do things like this on their own, Yan said. Bo Lan, graduate student in apparel, events and hospitality management, has volunteered for USEWB
for two semesters. Lan was intrigued by military leadership when he and Yan met a CEO of an American company in China. The CEO was a West Point U.S. Military Academy graduate who operated helicopters in South Korea, where he said he learned leadership skills that carried into his business career. “We think people who have experience in military groups could improve [international students’] leadership skills,” Lan said. Lan said he hopes the first aid training will be the start of a long collaboration and a win-win situation for the two groups. NROTC will gain as much from teaching the session as the students will gain from attending, Buhr said. Breaking barriers and building relationships will lead to new things, he said. “Being a part of the U.S. military, I’m always amazed how it’s always about being a part of something bigger than yourself,” Buhr said.

Dress to impress

The timing of the GSB election and results this year limited student participation. Announcing results on a Friday night is a poor decision, as many students are busy doing other activities.

Putting yourself in the best possible position to succeed starts in the classroom. Dress according to the standard which you want others to associate with you and take your appearance seriously, even if you’re just going to class.
Wearing professional clothing provides confidence By Omo.Abalu @iowastatedaily.com
A
s college students with tight schedules, it might be hard to pay attention to our appearance, especially when we go to classes, right? Wrong. I believe the way you dress in public tells a lot about your personality and you either strengthen or weaken people’s perceptions of you through your appearance. In boarding school in Nigeria, we wore uniforms every time we were outside the dormitories. We had different uniforms for class, sports, evening activities and outings. This may sound weird to some, but I realized the importance of this was to make us look like serious students in the public eye and we were able to represent the school in that way. There are numerous reasons why schools adopt the idea of uniforms for students, but I think the reasons are quite important. In a 2013 article published in the Guardian, Chloe Spencer said, “A school uniform teaches students to dress smartly and take pride in their appearance.” Claire Howlette, an English teacher, was also mentioned in the article and said, “Uniforms help students prepare for when they leave school and may have to dress smartly or wear a uniform.” Now do not get me wrong — I’m not saying Iowa State should propose a school uniform policy and make all of us wear uniforms. Using Howlette’s perspective, I am saying we should all develop a sense of dressing smartly to class and anywhere else outside our rooms, apartments or houses. When I was a freshman, I did not have the best sense of fashion but I still tried to look decent and serious through my
dressing. I often got piercing stares from people, which made me very uncomfortable. There was a time I was getting ready to go study with my friends and in my mind, I was dressed quite simply — I was wearing a nice shirt, a pair of jeans and a sweater. I remember someone saw me and told me I looked so fancy and it did not look like I was going to study. I was so perplexed but that is when I realized that many people do not take their appearance seriously at Iowa State. I wanted to conclude that it was an Iowa thing because I’ve been to other states on the East Coast, where I do not have to feel overdressed in clothes I consider simple. However, generalizations are dangerous and I know not everyone in Iowa cares about their outward appearance. There are some events that take place on campus that sound like they should be formal, but students are given the option of dressing casually. An example of this is the Friley Snowball Dance, which took place in January. Students were told they did not have to dress up for it. I am always excited for a chance to dress up fancily in Ames — since there are not that many opportunities — but I did not go to this dance because I did not see the point of having a formal dance where people could show up in sweatpants and hoodies, while others were in nice dresses and suits. I see a lot of people who wear sweatpants to class. Some even wear pajamas. This horrifies me. There was an instance where I asked a group of people if there was pajama day in the U.S. because I saw a lot of my friends in England dressed in their pajamas for a whole day. Someone in the group responded and said, “Every day at ISU is pajama day!” I stared at her in disbelief, but I reserved my comments because it was actually a
serious issue for me. Now let us imagine a reverse situation. Maybe some of you have, but I have never seen any of my professors show up in sweatpants or pajamas or any attire that is too casual. But let’s imagine that our professors, advisers, bosses, supervisors and any other authority figures we know do show up every day to class or work in sweatpants, pajamas or informal attire. Would you be able to take them seriously? I know I wouldn’t. How would you judge them? Would you care or not? “I think everybody should be comfortable with dressing their best and looking professional,” said Jasmine Morina, junior in apparel, merchandizing and design. “It’s fun for me. When you look good, you feel good. I don’t dress to impress others but I want to look my best because it makes me feel confident.” It is important to feel comfortable in our clothes and present our style and personalities the way we want to. I am not saying we should all wear suits and formal attire to Walmart or the dining center, but we should care a little more about our appearance and the way we present ourselves in public. I agree with Morina — I also do not dress to impress others and I enjoy looking good for myself. Nonetheless, first impressions are lasting impressions in any situation we find ourselves and some people will still judge you by the way you dress. We should at least try with the classroom setting. Leave the sweatpants and hoodies at home and come to class looking snappy casual. I believe it will help in the long run. By dressing smartly to class, I believe we will feel more confident about the way we present ourselves in public and this will help us prepare to make smart dress choices when it comes to our future professional lives.

There is no justification for Bakken pipeline By Susan Petra, Ames resident There is absolutely no justification for allowing the Dakota Access (Bakken) pipeline through Iowa. The fracked oil is highly flammable, dirty crude so unsafe that no buildings are permitted on its 50-foot easements! The oil’s ultimate destination is to Gulf Coast refineries, to be sold on the international open market. This oil enriches an out-ofstate, pass-through corporation
Raise your hand if you were anticipating the release of the Government of the Student Body elections at 7 p.m. Friday? One hand? Maybe two? Bueller? Anybody? That’s what we thought. This year, the schedule for GSB elections went something to the tune of voting Tuesday and Wednesday, a 24-hour period for any protesting of election results, then the official release of results at 7 p.m. Friday. At the beginning of each year, GSB decides what the election schedule will look like. So, in the fall, the current Election Commission and Senate provided and approved, in accordance to GSB bylaws, an election schedule that fostered a lack of inclusion for students on campus. Thinking it would be beneficial to the students to release election results on a Friday night was a complete disregard of knowledge to know a majority of the student body would not be closely following along with what was happening. Obviously members of GSB, potential candidates for next year and a handful of other students awaited the results Friday night. However, when only 12.8 percent of students voted, serving the entire student body should be the goal when releasing results. To an extent, students do need to be more involved with what is happening in their student government. After all, it is their money GSB is handling and allocating and students need to be more in tune to that. And the 12.8 percent increase is proof GSB is heading in the right direction in terms of spreading awareness. But it’s hard to hand the students the apple of opportunity to be involved with one of the biggest GSB events of the year and ask them to make lemonade. In the future, it would be beneficial to the students GSB serves to have voting commence Monday and Tuesday, a protesting period Thursday and then the release of results on a Thursday night, giving ample opportunities Friday for meet and greets, speeches and other opportunities to get students involved immediately after the results. On the docket this year was the approval to change GSB’s name to just Student Government in efforts to make the government more appealing to students and to help them be more involved in the ISU community. While the move was a step in the right direction, make sure to carefully consider changing the bylaws to allow students to be directly engaged through social media, and other means, with the 2016 Student Government elections. If you’re going to ask students to make lemonade, give them some lemons to work with.
and its shareholders, but not the people of Iowa, whose land and water will be endangered. Eminent domain does not justify giving Dakota Access the right to take Iowans’ land. Eminent domain is an abuse of power because the proposed pipeline does not serve the public good and is not a public service. Noted economist David Swenson concluded that Bakken has grossly distorted the number and nature of any jobs created. Only 12-15 jobs will actually remain full-time. Any economic
benefits will be short-term only. All pipelines leak; all cement casings crack. More than 1,200 pipeline accidents were reported in the last three years, in addition to 372 leaks and spills in the past 16 months! This cost $265 million in damages. The Bakken pipeline is larger than the one in Montana, which recently leaked 30,000 gallons of oil into the once-scenic Yellowstone River. Leaks can affect soil 30 feet deep! The proposed Bakken pipeline would go under eight of our major rivers! And the company admitted it doesn’t
have adequate plans or resources for detecting leaks. While leaks cost millions to clean up, Dakota Access has a surety bond for only $250,000. When the pipeline leaks, the Iowa taxpayer will be paying. Government’s overriding role is to protect its people and preserve what we share. Iowa’s people and natural resources need protection. Urge the Iowa Utilities Board to stand up for Iowa’s people and our shared natural resources: deny the proposed Bakken Oil pipeline.

Sophomore guard Monté Morris and redshirt junior forward Jameel McKay attempt shots against TCU on Saturday. McKay was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year on Sunday, and Morris earned second-team honors.
PROVING THEIR WORTH Morris, McKay use Big 12 selections as motivation
By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com The 2014-15 Phillips 66 All-Big 12 Men’s Basketball Awards were announced Sunday, and the Cyclones were well-represented in most categories. Jameel McKay was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and named to the All-Defensive team, picked up third-team All-Big 12 honors and was selected to the All-Newcomer team. Georges Niang was the fourth player under coach Fred Hoiberg to pick up first-team hon-
ors, while Monté Morris and Dustin Hogue were selected as second-team and honorable mentions, respectively. A list of accomplishments like that is expected to be well-received by players, but the Cyclones sounded less than satisfied, especially roommates McKay and Morris. “I was asleep and [Jameel] woke me up with a loud roar. Just a bad roar, like, ‘man!’,” Morris said. McKay — the only unanimously selected player to the Big 12 AllNewcomer team — suspiciously lost the Big 12 New-
comer of the Year award to Oklahoma’s TaShawn Thomas. However, McKay was reserved in front of the media, saying he was happy with the selections and saying the defensive player of the year award caught him a bit by surprise. Morris, on the other hand, didn’t shy away from voicing his disagreement as the team prepares for the Big 12 tournament in Kansas City. “It was coaches’ decisions and if they feel like Juwan Staten or whoever outplayed me, I just got to go out there and show it Thursday,” Morris said. “It
just gives us motivation to go out there and win.” The Cyclones, the Big 12 tournament No. 2 seed, hope to duplicate last season’s results as they won three straight games for the tournament title. But unlike last season as a No. 4 seed, the Cyclones will not know exactly who they play until the day before the game, facing the winner of the Texas vs. Texas Tech game Wednesday night. It may not matter that much as Texas, a preseason top-10 team, has seen little success against the Cyclones, while Texas Tech finished last in the Big 12
and limps into the conference tournament with no other postseason tournaments to look forward to. According to the team, the preparation doesn’t change much, either. “It’s really no secret, it’s just going to be our third time playing each of these teams,” McKay said. “It’s not that much to prepare for, we should know these dudes.” With a Big 12 tournament title to defend and something more to prove in individual awards, the Cyclones say they are excited to get back on the court. Even though Hoiberg
said he agreed with the conference’s first team selections, the added motivation of proving their worth in postseason play is something he’s happy about. “It’s the deepest conference in the nation. I’m glad they’re not satisfied, I hope that carries over and they play with a chip on their shoulder,” Hoiberg said. And while Niang made first-team, Hoiberg was quick to poke fun at his competitive nature heading into the postseason. “I hope Georges does, too, because he didn’t get [Big 12] Player of the Year.”
THE FINAL BUZZER Cyclone Hockey’s season ends in quarterfinals By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com Scott Antonsen had pulled the team within one goal just five minutes prior, but Cyclone Hockey needed just one more with 50 seconds left. Matt Cooper was pulled with 1:22 remaining in the game, giving the Cyclones a 6-on-5 advantage. The Cyclones were threatening to force an overtime. Shot: just wide. Shot: off the goaltender’s pad. But as the puck skittered to center ice and Central Oklahoma buried an empty-net goal from 60 feet out, all of that wishful thinking vanished. The scoreboard, just a piece of metal with wiring, meant something much more as it ticked off precious seconds of the Cyclones’ season. 0:02 … 0:01 … 0:00 … it was over. Cyclone Hockey’s season came to an end Sunday after dropping a 5-3 game to the No. 2 Central Oklahoma Bronchos in the quarterfinals of the American Collegiate Hockey Association National Tournament. The Cyclones
upset the No. 7 Oklahoma Sooners 3-1 in the previous game to move into the quarterfinals. After coming into the tournament as a likely lock to only play teams seeded higher than them, the No. 10 Cyclones (24-14-6) managed to make the quarterfinals and grab the first of two upsets in the tournament. It started with No. 7 Oklahoma (28-10) — a team that the Cyclones beat once in four games in the regular season. But the Cyclones were a new team entering the tournament. Captain Mike Dopko said after the sweep against Midland on Feb. 28 that they were on the way to “hitting their peak.” He may have been right. The Cyclones employed their neutral-zone defense that focuses on picking off long passes and forcing opponent’s mistakes. Oklahoma, a team that likes to spread out its offense, had trouble figuring out how to beat the Cyclones in the neutral and defensive zones. The scoring woes for the Cyclones didn’t seem to faze them as they tallied
three goals on 42 shots to grab the victory. It was a victory that not many people expected the Cyclones to earn. “I think the guys in our locker room were the only ones in the nation who thought we were going to win that game,” said senior Nate Percy. “We’ve been through everything you can throw at us this year and we were just ready. We knew we’re a playoff team.” That wasn’t all the win did for the team. After the upset win against Oklahoma, the Cyclones were in high spirits. They grabbed onto the confidence they gained in beating a higherranked opponent. “We just kept battling,” said Cyclone Hockey head coach Jason Fairman. “We had a lot of fight in us. It was good to see that we wanted it. The guys were determined. They had no quit in them.” The Cyclones took that new-found motivation and put it to work against the Bronchos (31-5-1) in a game that was characterized by after-the-whistle scuffles and penalties. Despite it being the quarterfinals, both teams weren’t afraid of making

their intentions clear as pushes quickly turned into headlocks in some cases. “That’s just a normal part of hockey,” said forward J.P. Kascsak. “The referees let everyone play. And the ones they did call were pretty obvious like a [Central Oklahoma] player putting Chase Rey in a headlock. You would think
there was wrestling tryouts or something.” The Cyclones went into the third period tied at two with the Bronchos, but 10 minutes into the final period, the Bronchos put two goals on the board. It was too big of a hole for the Cyclones to crawl out of. The Cyclones waved goodbye to their faithful
one final time before returning to the locker room. It was a somber scene. “It was a pretty emotional scene for the guys,” said senior Antti Helanto. “I consider myself lucky to be part of this program. For me to be a part of this team for four years is something special. It was a bittersweet ending for the whole team.”

Spring Break Style Stay safe in the sun with accessory tips Beach bag essentials By Miranda.Pollitt @iowastatedaily.com When heading to the beach or pool, there are a few things one should always have handy. However, packing a beach bag for a day of sun and sand can sometimes present a challenge. Below are a few things one could include in their beach bag to have a successful Spring Break. A beach towel is a must if one plans to swim or hang out at the beach. Affordable printed and colorful beach towels can be found at retailers like Target or Walmart. Another essential to pack in a beach bag is sunscreen. Be sure to include it in the bag, so it can be re-applied throughout the day. Including aloe can help if one burns easily. Sunglasses are also a major
staple to pack. Not only are they a great fashion accessory, but they also protect the eyes from harmful sun rays. Packing a reusable water bottle is very important when one is at the pool or beach. Staying hydrated is key when spending long amounts of time in the sun. Reusable bottles also save money. Other essentials one can include in a beach bag are entertainment items. Whether one wants to lay out with a new book or the latest issue of a favorite magazine, having reading materials can help one relax on vacation. In addition, one can include headphones to listen to music. If one’s phone is prone to dying halfway through the day, a portable phone charger could be useful. Portable chargers are available at Best Buy, Target and Walmart.

Sunscreen: Experts suggest a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen above 30 SPF. Don’t forget to reapply frequently throughout the day at the beach. Face Sunscreen: Not all sunscreen is created equal. A good face sunscreen should have a high SPF and be oil free. It is best to choose a face sunscreen based on one’s skin type. Aloe Vera: Even with the best sunscreen, sunburns are inevitable. Aloe
Vera will help soothe the burn and help one’s skin bounce back from the damage. Lotion: Flaky skin is not a good addition to the perfect bikini body. Pack lotion to ensure the skin will stay moisturized all week long. Hair Mask: Dried out hair can put a damper on Spring Break style. A hair mask will replenish one’s hair after a long day in the sun. Water: In tourist areas, bottled water can be expensive and hard to come by. Save from standing in line by bringing bottled water.

With Spring Break right around the corner, the time to begin thinking about how to embrace the change in weather that has arrived. A trip to the beach is a popular option, but there are a handful of necessities to remember when traveling. A towel, water bottle, sunscreen and sunglasses are all needed when spending a day under the sun. When flying, understanding airline regulations regarding products can save a lot of hassle.
Unconventional cover-ups By Ashlee.Hammer @iowastatedaily.com Traditionally, coverups are lacy, free-flowing and typically found right next to the swimsuits. However, unconventional covers-ups can be found in one’s personal closet. These allow one to be comfortable, yet fashionable to and from the beach. 1. Denim shirt: An oversized denim shirt is a more bohemian take on the traditional cover-up. It can be worn buttoned halfway, giving shape to the garment or can be completely undone and worn as an accessory to a swimsuit. Pair it with oversized circle sunglasses to complete the look. 2. Jersey: This is a perfect way to show school spirit and be stylish at the same time. A graphic jersey that is slightly oversized is great beachwear. To add to the sport lux look, add a
contrasting colored fanny pack around the waist. 3. Overalls: Everyone loves overalls and they can be packed very easily. This trend comes in various forms and can be worn as pants, shorts or a dress, depending on your style. To rock this trend, wear a patterned or brightlycolored, strapless swimsuit underneath. 4. Poncho: A more traditional version from the list is a poncho. Add texture to beachwear with a fringe, embellished or crotchet knit poncho. This is another great and easy bohemian style. It will add fun to an outfit and give a it an unconventional look. 5. Harem pants: Harem pants are a more dressed-up take on the typical sweatpants. To give it a more edgy look, pair it with a pleather black swimsuit top. The contrasting textures will make stylish beachwear. Pair it with oversized sunglasses to complete the look.
Take advantage of in-season fresh fruit fashion By Ali.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com
When the first signs of the spring season arrive, most people add more healthy habits into their lifestyle. Some start kickboxing or cutting out carbs, but this is the first time we’ve seen wearing healthy foods, and fruit, on clothing.
Pineapples have been a fan favorite but strawberries, lemons and watermelons are just as juicy. Various brands like J. Crew, Cynthia Rowley, American Apparel, Wildfox and Missguided have all adorned the trend on their garments. Apparel companies incorporate these graphic fruit prints by placing an enlarged image of a single
fruit in the middle of a shirt or printing a repetitive pattern of a shrunken fruit over the entire pair of bottoms. American Apparel and Wildfox have already come out with swim options and Vans has a pair of Pineapple shoes to feel fresh this summer.

FOOD p1 Rodekamp said Iowa State has been buying items such as tomatoes, peppers and honey locally for 10 years. Farm to ISU was developed in 2006. The program works to encompass local growers and supports farms in the state of Iowa. “We’re promoting jobs and that dollar is staying in the state,” Rodekamp said. “For local [buying], there are several facets supporting the local growers but then there’s local for the

items that are manufactured in the state of Iowa.” Wetterberg said he would consider shopping and buying locally if he knew it would benefit the state of Iowa. Rodekamp said some of her purchasing decisions are made based on whether she can get the same product from an Iowa-based company as she would from a company outside of Iowa. Feediowa1st.com is working to bring attention to food insecurity in Iowa. According to the website,
food travels an average of 1,700 miles to reach an Iowan’s plate and more than 90 percent of food in Iowa is imported. Craig Chase works with the Leopold Center and said buying local can aid in tracing a food item back to a specific farm in case of a food recall. “If you’re buying [directly] from a farmers market or a restaurant, if something happens, the traceability goes right back to that farm,” Chase said. Rodekamp said Iowa’s
growing and feeding systems don’t align perfectly, which makes it difficult for ISU Dining to buy locally the entire time. “We get a six-week window to buy local produce unless it’s a cold-store item,” Rodekamp said. Although ISU Dining often buys local, certain food products like pineapple cannot be grown locally. To get foods like pineapple to Iowa State, Rodekamp must order from one of her distributors in Kansas City, Kan., Cedar Falls or Des
Moines. In order for food to get to the distributors that Rodekamp works with, it has to arrive in the United States first. Chase said food typically comes to the United States on ship containers. Upon arrival, the food is inspected and then put on trucks and railcars for distribution across the country. “Naturally, we don’t produce enough food to feed ourselves,” Chase said. “We get lots of fruit and vegetables from Chile.” While tracing food back
to local farms is easy, it’s just the opposite when food is brought to the United States from other places. Food inspectors are responsible for making sure that production standards in the country the food is coming from are similar to those in the United States and that no unregistered pesticide products were used on the food. “Food inspectors at the ports make sure that what’s coming in is what they say is coming in [and that it’s a] safe product,” Chase said.
which some students said they thought of it as a trick to coercing students into thinking the petition was in favor of equal rights. Before people sign something, they should have prior knowledge on the subject before they fully commit to it, said Evan Abramsky, treasurer of the ISU College of Democrats. “People need to be more careful when they sign things and do research about the subject,” Abramsky said.
The term suffrage was used frequently 100 years ago in demanding voting rights for women, but now people don’t hear the word often enough, Abramsky said. At the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics, workers are constantly using the word suffrage and explaining what it means, Bystrom said. They send out post cards and biographies about the Catt Center with the word suffrage in it, trying to ad-
vocate women’s rights, she said. The Carrie Chapman Catt Center was founded in 1992 to help advocate and interest people with the political process, according to the Carrie Chapman Catt Center online. The center is named after ISU alumna Carrie Chapman Catt, who was a leader in the women’s suffrage movement and an advocate for women around the world. “We do our part, but
despite every effort to do that, we can’t reach every student,” Bystrom said. Iowa State offers political sciences classes and women’s studies classes for students to enroll in, to learn more about women’s history, Abramsky said. College students should be better educated about women’s suffrage from high school history classes, he said. Catherine Krahling, a student at ISU who calls herself a feminist at heart,
said students should have studied equal rights movements from the past and how they have developed today, so the movements won’t repeat themselves. People have become complacent about change and moving forward for women, Krahling said. Women are still underrepresented in leadership positions in all forms, she said. “We’ve come a long ways, but not quite far enough,” Krahling said.
outdoor hobbies. He enjoys sharing his finds, including this bison horn, with others. “I’ve been sharing [the horn] with a lot of people and that’s why this stuff is interesting to me,” Worrell said. “Sharing is what makes it important, you know?”
Graesch said he only finds pieces this spectacular approximately once a year. “It’s not a major contributor to science or anything spectacularly rare. … It’s kind of beat up. But I wouldn’t sell it, even if it was worth a lot of money,” said Worrell, who also has
ancient Indian arrowheads, pottery shards and a spearhead in his personal collection. Worrell said he found the spearhead at a shooting range, dug up the pottery at his family friends’ vacation home and inherited approximately 10 arrowheads from his great-grandfather,
who pulled them out of his fields while plowing. “A lot of [artifacts] are thousands of years old, and people now know that native people were [in the Midwest], but they think of that being in the last couple hundred years,” Worrell said. They don’t really think, ‘oh wow, 10,000 years
ago …’” Worrell said that increasing others’ knowledge and awareness of the past is part of the reason he enjoys sharing what he finds with friend and family. “Everything natural just fascinates me, and archaeology is mixed in with all that,” Worrell said.
vices director. The burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, release a series of emissions, such as nitrogen oxide, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, he said. The transition to natural gas for three of the boilers will help reduce the emissions by 48,000 tons a year at the university.
However, where the natural gas can help the environment, it can hurt the job market, Kom said. “It takes fewer people with natural gas,” Kom said. “Where we might have needed three people to burn coal before, we will only need one to burn natural gas.” The efficiency of natu-
ral gas requires fewer workers, so the city will have more money to use in other electrical service needs. “Natural gas is more expensive starting out, but will be cheaper for the consumer in the long run,” Kom said. Natural gas is at one of the lowest prices it has been in the last 10 years,
having barely touched $4 in millions of British Thermal Units, the measurement of cost to heat. After the recession in 2008, prices were nearly $16 million BTU, according to a research study done by Ingrid Pan. Since prices are under $4, now is a good time to switch to natural gas. When
the prices rise again, using coal may better benefit the budget. The burning of both natural gas and coal in smaller amounts, rather than burning 100 percent of either one, will save money for the city and university, as well as reduce environmentally harmful emissions, Kom said.
