Academic programs growing

By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com

Success of new undergraduate, graduate programs among BOR topics By Jake.Dalbey @iowastatedaily.com Growing academic fields and emerging major/master programs took center stage at the Academic and Student Affairs Committee meeting as part of Wednesday’s agenda. Focusing on the current status, proposed improvements and estimated student enrollment of one recently created major as well as three master’s of engineering programs, the subcommittee of the Iowa Board of Regents aimed to address the success of each and the promotion strategies employed by the respective departments. One of the fastest growing majors at Iowa State also happens to be one of the newest to be introduced within the past five years. Event management, the only program discussed outside of the engineering field, has enjoyed a prosperous rise in student enrollment and plans to gain popularity at a steady rate. Bob Bosselman, professor and chair of apparel, events and hospitality management, spoke to the board on behalf of the major and cited its growth as an unexpected surprise. “The enrollment has exceeded far beyond what I would have expected,” Bosselman said. “The number is getting close to 400 and is showing no signs of stopping.” Originally proposing an enrollment of only 25 students in the fall of 2011, the actual headcount stood at 130 and then increased to 227 students with a projection of only 50. Today, the major consists of 360 undergraduates and is still projected to grow by 100 students per year. Event managers can have positions as caterers, hotel event staff, athletic event managers and con-

Jameel McKay reacts after getting blocked while trying to dunk against Kansas on March 5, 2016, at Phog Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan. The Cyclones’ attempt at a third straight Big 12 Tournament Championship will begin Thursday against Oklahoma in Kansas City, Mo.

SU coach Steve Prohm and company are heading down to Kansas City with a tough task ahead of them starting Thursday. No. 21 Iowa State (21-10, 10-8 Big 12) would potentially have to go through three top-10 teams in three days to win its third straight Big 12 Tournament Championship, but the Cyclones seem undaunted by such a tall task. “I feel like if you can really get things going the first game, you catch some momentum, and then from there on who [knows] what’s happening,” said senior Georges Niang, who is 7-1 at the Big 12 tournament in his career. Iowa State gets No. 6 Oklahoma (24-6, 12-6 Big 12) in the quarterfinal round of the Big 12 Championship on Thursday night, after splitting the regular season series with the Sooners. The winner likely gets West Virginia, while Kansas is the favorite to advance to the championship on the other side of the bracket. With such a tough road ahead, Iowa State is taking the usual one-day-at-a-time approach. “All we’re trying to do right now is just beat Oklahoma Thursday night,” Prohm said. “No more than that, not even looking ahead. You can’t look ahead.” The road to a Big 12 Championship is undeniably tough with so many high-caliber teams vying for the title, but Iowa State does have one significant advantage. While the Sprint Center is technically a neutral site, Iowa State will bring a large fan following to Kansas City, giving the Cyclones a home-game feel and distinct advantage in a place that has been dubbed “Hilton South” by ISU fans. “It feels like a home game,” said point guard Monté Morris. “It feels like we get three straight home games.” Niang also knows the benefit of having so many ISU fans take over the Sprint Center and

StuGov passes Start by Believing By Zach.Clemens @iowastatedaily.com Student Government discussed a new campaign to combat sexual assault that would be coupled with Its On Us, called Start by Believing Wednesday night. A campaign supported by ISU Police was unanimously passed that proclaims Its On Us and Start by Believing. Start by Believing refers to a national campaign that calls for all to believe a victim when she or he says they have been sexually assaulted. A bill that was previously tabled by the Senate reappeared on the agenda and aims to improve lighting on campus. The bill would add

two new light poles and replace some light bulbs between Carver and Parks Library for $3,500. After much discussion, the bill was tabled indefinitely by a vote of 17 to 16 with one absentia. “I have the same issue I had before [when the same bill came up in January],” said Sen. Cole Staudt. “Student fees should go toward student activities, not lighting.” Other senators were in support of the bill. “I think this is something a lot of students would like to see,” Sen. Cole Button said. “I think there is a perception that we only fund student organizations and this would be a good move to show we can make a difference.” Sen. Meredith Cook, an original

author of the bill, said after reflection this sends a wrong narrative to survivors of assault. Vice Speaker of the Senate Michael Snook said he believes this should be a resolution, not a funding bill, and that senators should call on administration to make campus lighting a priority.

Election different for international students By Matt.Evans @iowastatedaily.com

Last month, many college students got their chance to cast their vote in the Iowa Caucus for the next president of the United States, but one group didn’t. College students are vital to presidential candidates’ success, as students provide their campaigns with an army of canvassers, event organizers and most impor-

tantly, votes. But international students have to approach the presidential election differently since they cannot legally vote. Koki Tomoeda, sophomore in aerospace engineering, views the election as a spectacle that he has never been able to experience before. “In Japan, we do not directly vote our leader, so it is very interesting to see the process that goes into the voting system,” Tomoeda

said. While international students can’t vote, there is some consensus among foreign students when it comes to their hypothetical vote and which policies they care most about. “A major point that is important to international students is foreign policy,” Tomoeda said. “Most international students I have spoken to have found themselves supporting the Democrats and their policies.”

But for some, foreign policy is not their primary concern in this election. It is more about their future in the United States. “When I graduate, I want to work [ in the United States], so I care a lot about the results,” Tomoeda said. Whoever becomes president will affect my decision on my postcollege plans. As an aerospace engineering student, it is very hard to get a job out of college and I feel that some candidates will make that even more difficult.”

While others are keenly watching how the U.S. presidential election unfolds, some international students are not as interested. “Some of the international students just want to see the election, but most don’t worry about the results all that much since most likely they will not stay in the U.S.,” said Huanjiao Dong, graduate student in apparel, events and hospitality management. For these students, it all comes down to a lack of actionable ability.

Most states in the United States view tampons and other feminine hygiene products as luxury items and have taxes placed on them. Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Minnesota are the only states that don’t tax feminine products

Feminine product tax raises concern Most states view feminine products as luxury items By Lexie.Troutman @iowastatedaily.com Taxes on feminine hygiene products have caused an uproar throughout the United States and across the world. Most states exempt taxes on items that are considered a necessity, and many people are now asking if feminine products should be included in this category. Tampons and other feminine products are currently viewed as luxury items in most states. Mary Raman, nurse practitioner at the Thielen Student Health Center, specializes in women’s health care. “Clearly it’s not a lifestyle choice,” Raman said. “It’s a little bit of a difficulty as to where to draw the line, but if you ask me point blank is buying tampons a necessity for women, my answer is yes.” Women make up 51 percent of the population in the United States, and the percentage of women in government is roughly 17 percent. Raman said she believes a greater number of men in government could definitely play a part in why tampons are currently being taxed. Women are more likely than men to care about this issue, she said. Megan Frisvold, sophomore in global resource systems, is co-president of the student organization Society for the Advancement of Gender Equity. Frisvold brought up the idea that it is not simply because it is all men in Congress. It has to do with the fact that Congress is made up of older white heterosexual men, Frisvold said. “The conversation isn’t really going to go anywhere with women’s issues,” Frisvold said.

“There’s no diversity there.” The tax on tampons is not the biggest issue women are facing, Raman said. She believes the tax does not seem as important when compared with the other injustices women are currently fighting. “Women are frustrated,” Raman said. “They’re frustrated about the gender wage gap. They’re frustrated about access to reproductive freedom and contraception. This is just one of many burdens that some women feel.” Canada recently became the first country to get rid of taxes on feminine hygiene products. Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Minnesota are the only U.S. states that currently do not tax feminine products. These states also do not tax items such as toilet paper, diapers and hearing aids, while most other states do. However, these issues are not a worldwide phenomenon. There have been various incidents when other taxing issues have been brought up around the country. A columnist in Florida started petitioning to abolish taxes on toilet paper; however, this issue received a limited amount of support. Taxes on tampons are in the same category as taxes on all other toiletry items, but this particular issue is being discussed throughout the world. “It’s seen as taboo, like we don’t ever talk about periods,” Frisvold said. “I think [this issue] is charged by the fact that it’s a gendered argument. The fire behind this tax issue is because of women’s issues” Although there is much talk across the country, it is not yet clear whether a change will be seen in the future. “Sometimes that momentum really does carry,” Raman said. “Sometimes those minor victories can lend momentum to helping the broader issues. If this is a way to gain a foothold, to bring more awareness to some of the issues that we face, that’s a great thing.”

As the population continues to rise, the question begging to be answered is how exactly can the world can feed an estimated 2 billion more people by 2050? Matthew O’Neal, program chair of the Sustainable Agriculture Graduate Program, suggests that it is possible to feed the world with the food resources that we already have. “My understanding from talking to sociologists and economists, is that we produce enough food, but it’s an issue of distribution,” O’Neal said. “Going forward, I think we’re going to not only need to produce more food but do it in a way that makes sure that it’s equally distributed.” O’Neal added that humans must progress in feeding the growing population while trying to avoid degrading our environment. By growing more food, O’Neal said there’s potential for a negative impact on our environment, so people must look into more environmentally friendly methods of agriculture. Laura Merrick, crop genetic research specialist and lecturer in agronomy, also agrees that distribution plays a major role in helping feed the increasing population. “In terms of world food production, the data shows that, on average, the world produces more than enough food to adequately feed everyone, but distribution inequities are really important things to be aware of,” Merrick said. O’Neal states that one of the bigger issues that needs to be addressed is availability of water for a growing population. “Water use is going to restrict what we can grow,” O’Neal said. O’Neal regards places that are experiencing extreme droughts, such as California, as showing a decline in the amount of water-intensive crops they are able to grow and the amount of cattle it can export out of the state. O’Neal also sees a greater need for local production of food, which would provide people with access to food more readily. A process like this would also lower the carbon foot-

print associated with production and distribution of food. Solutions such as the 100-Mile Diet, a diet that consists of eating only foods grown within 100 miles of a person’s residence, may become more attractive considering that it can help with decreasing carbon emissions and increasing the availability of food for a larger population. Merrick also sees having a change in diet as a possible tactic to provide food for a growing population. “In terms of energy efficiency and effect on greenhouse gases and global warming, there are numerous arguments made against heavy reliance on consumption of meat,” Merrick said. “There are a lot of arguments for why an increase of reliance on meat consumption may be linked with setting ourselves up for future continuing problems with ability to feed the world.” Merrick acknowledges the fact that anywhere from 30 to 40 percent of food that is produced is wasted in post-harvest and post-consumer ways. In more industrialized and developed countries, things such as portion size at restaurants play a role in the amount of food wasted. The way individuals and families handle food in their homes is also a factor, Merrick added. Some people throw away food prematurely because of misinterpreted expiration dates or throw away uneaten food that has expired. Merrick suggests using places like food pantries and soup kitchens to combat the waste of food. She sees the issue of feeding a growing population as reliant on a multitude of different strategies, including distribution, change in diets and decrease in food waste. Through the Sustainable Agriculture Graduate Program at Iowa State, issues such as feeding a growing population are taken into consideration. The program focuses on satisfying the food and income requirements of farmers, providing people with a healthy and affordable diet, protecting environmental quality and human health and contributing to the vitality of rural and urban communities.

ACCESS provides support for sexual assault survivors By Erin.Gruba @iowastatedaily.com Informing everyone on the importance of sexual assault awareness is imperative to a society where no one has to worry about whether their day will consist of a sexual assault. No one understands this better than the people at ACCESS, Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support. Founded in 1974 mainly as a crisis service hotline, ACCESS served the people of Story County and ISU students with the purpose of bringing light to issues such as sexual assault and domestic violence. ACCESS has since expanded to assist four other counties: Boone, Greene, Marshall and Tama. About 300 students volunteer for the program each year. Some work directly with survivors and intern there, while others do service projects. The program doesn’t have to report to law enforcement if someone comes in for help, which sets ACCESS apart from other organiza-

tions. Lori Allen, sexual abuse campus advocate for ACCESS and campus liaison, said said the program has “privileged confidentiality,” meaning it is not a mandatory reporter to authorities. ACCESS only share what clients ask it to. ACCESS members discuss options such as filing a legal report, pressing charges or just talk about the healing process. Members of the organization help survivors through legal processes, but only if the person wants the assistance. They help them communicate with attorneys, law enforcement and the university by contacting professors to negotiate with them on how to successfully pass classes. They refer survivors to therapists or counseling if it is a better fit for them. “We’re sort of like the friend who knows everything about the system,” Allen said. All services are free, and a survivor can withdraw at any time. Angie Schreck, executive director of ACCESS, said the core service is the crisis

response. “That’s something that we’re never going to move away from – we always want to be immediately available if a survivor has safety needs or needs that they feel are immediate,” Schreck said. Help comes in more unconventional forms, too. In the past, ACCESS has paid for survivors to attend one-on-one yoga activities called trauma-informed yoga. Survivors can also express themselves through art and exhibit their work through the Survivor’s Art Program on April 2 and 3 at the Ames Public Library. If secondary victims or witnesses reach out to ACCESS, the organization will talk to them about what they want to do. This can include filing a report or informing secondary victims or witnesses about how to be supportive of survivors and provide resources for them. Students can also visit the Margaret Sloss Women’s Center on campus. Allen said that even though developing a close relationship is necessary for them to have with survivors, the goal is always to get

them to be less dependent in the end. The organization’s greatest goal is for the survivor to open up their circle of support and be able to reach out to someone who can provide a therapeutic service to them, Schreck said. “The root of our training is really to understand trauma and understand what it does to any individual and what it does to their brain,” Schreck said. She also said the organization’s job is to help survivors make sense of what happened to them instead of them trying to make sense of it. However that process comes about is OK. As far as measuring how ACCESS’s services have helped survivors, Schreck said the organization surveys the survivors to assess their self-blame or if they’ve

increased ability to cope since working with ACCESS members. However, it is hard to obtain full knowledge of gains and improvements made by survivors since the survivors have all of the control and can come and go to the program as they please. Allen said ACCESS partners with the ISU Police Department to reach out to different classes on campus and resident halls about their available resources. ACCESS also works through the Margaret Sloss Women’s Center and Student Services. The greek community has a Greeks Ending Violence Now (GEVN) group that gives presentations on campus. ACCESS advocates, including Allen, accompany the group. The topics discussed in-

form students about what sexual assault is and what contributes to it. Other topics include rape culture, alcohol, consent, bystanders and what to do when you witness something. “Everybody has a role in preventing sexual violence – it’s so important for people to understand that it’s not just any survivor or potential survivor’s job to prevent it from happening to them,” Schreck said. Many organizations on and around campus support ACCESS, including various fraternities and sororities that host philanthropies for the organization. ROTC will host a 5K walk in April to raise money for ACCESS, and the Vagina Warriors and Margaret Sloss Women’s Center hosts the Vagina Monologues every year, which also benefits ACCESS.

Craig Anderson, distinguished professor of psychology, offers two solutions to defeating sterotyping, prejudice and discrimination: totally defeat them or use what we know about them to reduce their harmful impact and create more positive beliefs and feelings toward people who differ from us.

PSYCH MATTERS Reducing racism, discrimination requires action By Craig Anderson Distinguished professor of psychology The Department of Psychology would like to help build a more welcoming climate for racial/ethnic minority students, staff and faculty at Iowa State. One way in which we would like to demonstrate our commitment to reducing racism and discrimination is through this editorial series. In this continuing series, educational pieces on the psychology of racism and personal stories written by various faculty and students will be shared. Last time, we heard from Dr. Craig Anderson, distinguished professor of psychology, on the topics of prejudice, discrimination and microaggression, a special form of discrimination. This week, Dr. Anderson offers suggestions on how to enrich our lives through actively cultivating friendships and collegial relationships with people who are different from ourselves. This series was edited bv Stephanie Carrera, graduate student in psychology and Carolyn Cutrona, professor and chair of psychology Stereotyping, Prejudice, Discrimination, and Various “isms”—Part 3: Learning to Appreciate Diversity ---Parts 1 and 2 of this 3-part series described stereotype-based beliefs, prejudiced feelings and inappropriate discriminatory behavior. They noted that the psychological processes underlying them are normal aspects of being human. These “normal” processes often lead to inappropriate treatment of other people, treatment that may be unethical, counterproductive and even illegal. These behaviors can be lumped into the various “isms” that are frequently discussed, such as racism, sexism and ageism. Parts 1 and 2 also noted that racial relations in the United States have improved during the past 40 years, but there still is considerable room for improvement. You may wonder, “How can I fight against normal psychological processes that lead to stereotypes, prejudice and harmful discriminatory behavior?” If these tendencies are built into the human information processing system, how can we defeat them? There are two answers to these questions. First, we can’t totally defeat them. There will always be a

tendency to categorize people into groups and to develop stereotypes, prejudices and discriminatory behavior tendencies toward different groups. Some of these will be positive (especially for our in-groups), some negative, others both positive and negative. These tendencies are usually strongest when there is little direct contact with members of these outgroups. Second, we can use what we know about stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination to reduce their harmful impact and to create new more positive beliefs, feelings and behavioral tendencies toward people who differ from us in some way. If we change the input to the human psychological system, we can change the output. As we’ve noted before, humans are constantly learning. As a child, I was fortunate to grow up in a family that did not teach racist stereotypes that were so prevalent in my rural Midwest all-white farming community. I heard the basic stereotype beliefs about various racial groups, primarily from schoolmates and television, but never from my parents. My stereotypes were relatively weak because of lack of practice and learning. One important step in fighting against stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination is to simply not teach them to children. We can intentionally teach that such beliefs, feelings and behaviors are wrong and will not be tolerated. During President Obama’s second election campaign, my 83-year-old mother threw a customer out of her church’s thrift shop after he started a racist rant about Obama, blacks and Muslims. We can take this one step further. We can “walk the walk” by actively cultivating friendships with people who differ from us. There is a plethora of research on what is known as “the contact hypothesis.” We now know that when people of different races or ethnicities (or any other intergroup “differences”) are brought together to work on common goals (such as learning in the classroom, building a neighborhood playground, working in industry or business), there is a reduction in the kinds of negative stereotypes and prejudices that are most destructive. New more positive beliefs and feelings are learned, friendships develop and people learn to appreciate individuals who may differ from them. A benefit of attending a large university is the number of opportunities that students have to learn about different types of people. ISU is one such place, and even though our student population is not as racially/ethnically diverse as might be optimal, it nonetheless provides good opportunities for everyone to

learn that people with different skin tones, sexual preferences, religions, languages and so on are actually not that different from each other in the ways that count. If you, as a student, really want to benefit from your college years, make the effort to get involved in activities that bring you into contact with people who are different from you. Another way that modern societies can (and do) fight against stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination is to take social and political action. By making discrimination against people on the basis of their race, religion or sexual orientation illegal, for example, the U.S. political system not only has changed behavior, but also has changed attitudes and beliefs, including stereotypes and prejudices. Of course, the legally mandated changes in behavior have not and cannot be expected to wholly eliminate unwarranted stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination, but these legal prescriptions and prohibitions have helped move U.S. society toward becoming a more tolerant and inclusive one. The point is that your voting behavior and political activities can have a positive impact on these and related issues. Students, faculty and staff can also have a positive impact toward the goal of reducing stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination by everyday actions (e.g., smile and acknowledge outgroup members in passing) and the occasional special event (e.g., attend food fairs, rallies in support of various minority groups). Furthermore, if you witness inappropriate behavior (e.g., a racist or sexist comment), let it be known that you do not approve of such behavior. Obviously, you will want to handle such incidents with care and tact. But sometimes you may have to act more forcefully, as when my mother made it clear that racist rants were not going to be tolerated in her church thrift store. One question that majority-culture people (e.g., Whites in the U.S.) sometimes raise is, “What do I get out of diversity?” First, treating people on the basis of who they are rather than an over-generalized factually incorrect stereotype is the right thing to do. Second, learning about different groups of people and cultures can be very rewarding. Developing friendships with a large variety of people from various subcultures within the United States and from cultures around the world has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. As students, you have many of these same opportunities during your college years. I urge you to take advantage of these opportunities.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Ethanol benefits Iowa’s environment By Michael Barr sophomore in agricultural business When reading a recent article on “Improving fuel mileage” something caught my attention: there are many benefits of using ethanol-blended fuels that are not mentioned in the article. The 14.3 billion gallons of ethanol produced in 2014 reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 39.6 million metric tons. That’s the equivalent of removing 8.4 million cars from the road. The use of ethanol is a huge step forward in creating a green earth for

generations to come. Many people also like to “shop local” at farmer’s markets, so why not do this at the pump? The entire renewable fuels industry supports around 47,000 jobs in Iowa and accounts for $5 billion of Iowa’s gross domestic product. This includes the outstanding Iowa farmers, who produce corn in Iowa that provides us with ethanol-based fuel options at the pump. Another common concern that consumers may have at the pump is that ethanol-blended fuel will not work in their vehicle. What many consumers don’t know is that E10, or fuel contain-

ing 10 percent ethanol, is the most commonly used fuel in the United States, making up more than 90 percent of gasoline sales. Meanwhile, E15 is one of the most tested blends in history and has been approved by the EPA for 2001 and newer cars and trucks. What’s more? E85 burns cleaners, saves consumers money at the pump and can be used in all flex-fuel vehicles. Higher ethanol blends may sometimes receive a slight reduction in gas mileage, but their cost-savings often offset the slight mileage reduction, and I think we can all agree they greatly help the environment and state of Iowa.

Iowa House should pass transgender protection The issue of not having enough protection for those in the transgender community who are victims of hate crimes is a topic of discussion that has been brought up many times over the last few months. The reason is because there were not sufficient laws in place to legally protect transgender people who are victims of hate crimes. The Daily’s editorial board has also weighed in on this conversation because excluding a group from legal protection is somewhat out of character for Iowa. Iowa has always been a more progressive state, and the lack of protection allotted to this group must not persist. It seems that the Iowa Senate finally agreed because on Tuesday, a divided Senate voted to add transgender individuals to a list of groups that are protected under the state’s hate crime laws. This will also lead to harsher punishment for people who are convicted of enacting a hate crime. The file was approved 27-21 when a Republican from West Des Moines sided with all of the Democrats in a favorable vote. Charles Schneider was the only Republican who felt this issue should be pushed through to the House for a vote. This is a huge victory for Iowa’s transgender community but it seems the momentum might end in the Senate. The Iowa House is controlled by Republicans who made it clear in the Senate that they were not in favor of providing transgender individuals with protection. The Des Moines Register reported that this issue will most likely be declared dead this session without a discussion. A historic high of 15 transgender individuals were murdered in 2015 specifically for being transgender. This is an extreme, but if the murder rate is rising, it’s clear that the violence rate against the transgender community is rising as well. The National Center for Transgender Equality said the transgender community is “more susceptible to violence because they are marginalized economically, educationally and usually end up with a target on their back.” All of these facts put together can only lead to the conclusion that leaving these individuals without protection is not morally right and opens the door for more horrifying statistics in the future. The Senate did the right thing by moving this vote up to the House, but the momentum can’t stop there. This is a real issue impacting real people and it is the House members’ responsibility to look past their personal views of the transgender community and see that transgender individuals are just as human as any of us and should be protected from hate crimes.

Cyclone Hockey dominance just beginning By Austin.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com The clock struck 9:11 p.m. at The Edge Ice Arena in Bensenville, Ill., when the scoreboard read 0:00 for Cyclone Hockey in the American Collegiate Hockey League National Championship game in a 2-1 loss against Lindenwood. Yes, Cyclone Hockey beat three teams with better seeds in the ACHA Tournament, including the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the country. This team can be called an underdog maybe, but this group was far from a Cinderella. The success of the team hinged on the play of the young players in the or-

FINAL NOTES Cyclone Hockey finished its season with a 29-9-1-5 record. The first game of the 2016-2017 season will be against the Huntsville Havoc on Sept. 16 at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.

ganization. The top three scorers were all freshmen. The two defensemen who were named to the Central States Collegiate Hockey League All-Defensive Team were sophomores. In total, nine freshmen played some role on the team. The Cyclones were young and talented, but at times, the inexperience showed. The Cyclones, who came in as the No. 9 seed, had been bounced in their first game of the CSCHL Tournament in their home arena, their fifth loss of the season against Ohio, and lost against a junior college team in the middle of the season. “I think if you ask anyone who is familiar with our league, I think they would’ve written us off,” said co-captain Alex Stephens. “‘They’re too young or they didn’t have enough this or that.’” For the lapses at times during the season, there were just as many bright spots. Cyclone Hockey swept the 2015 national champions on the road and the No. 2 team at home. The Cyclones also handed the No. 1 team in the country its first regulation loss of the season.

So despite being the lower ranked team in all four of Cyclone Hockey’s games in the ACHA tournament, it wasn’t a surprise to the Cyclones when they knocked off the No. 8, No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the country on their way to the championship game against league rival, No. 3 Lindenwood. “If you were to ask anybody 10 months ago if we would be playing for a national championship, I think a lot of people would have said ‘absolutely not,’” said co-captain Cory Sellers. “I think we surprised a lot of people. We did what a lot of people thought we couldn’t do.” From the first day of tryouts, nobody within the organization was shy about the goal for the season. Cyclone Hockey wanted to win the national championship. Seven months later, the national championship is exactly where the Cyclones found themselves, thanks in part to a goaltender, Derek Moser, who only allowed five goals in four games during the tournament. The Cyclones grabbed the lead in the opening period Tuesday night but couldn’t hold onto it, falling by just one goal in the final game of the ACHA

season and the seniors’ hockey careers. “It’s hard to say how you feel when you realize that you’re not going to play another game again,” Sellers said. “It’s an experience that I will be able to look back on for the rest of my life and say I was apart of a team that came this far. “It’s something I’ll remember forever.” Sellers, Stephens and

Jake Bruhn combined to play more than 200 games for Cyclone Hockey. Tuesday night was their last. “The seniors have been tremendous,” said Cyclone Hockey Coach Jason Fairman. “The seniors have to lead and set an example. They set the culture for these young guys.” The Cyclones made it to the championship game relying on the production of underclassmen, and

next year, Cyclone Hockey will return 85 percent of its scoring. It will also start the year with the experience of a deep run in the national tournament. “Being so close, guys will have the hunger next year,” Fairman said. “We’re not going to just talk about winning a national championship but we’re going to expect to win a national championship.”

ISU point guard Monté Morris gets set on defense against Kansas on Saturday at Phog Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan. Morris suffered a slight shoulder injury late in the game but expects to play against Oklahoma on Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Championship.

Morris appears ready to play By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Point guard Monté Morris suffered a slight shoulder injury toward the end of last Saturday’s 85-78 loss at Kansas. Morris sat out of practice Monday and Tuesday as a precautionary measure and didn’t participate in the team’s practice Wednesday afternoon in Kansas City. No. 21 Iowa State (21-10, 10-8 Big 12) will play its opening game in the Big 12 Championship against No.

6 Oklahoma (24-6, 12-6 Big 12) on Thursday night. Morris did, though, take part in a team shootaround Wednesday morning in the Sprint Center. “It’s pretty good,” Morris told the Des Moines Register on Wednesday. “I was able to get the ball to the rim. I wasn’t getting too frustrated with my misses.” ISU coach Steve Prohm said he made the deci-

sion to rest Morris again Wednesday just as another precautionary measure used to make sure he is fully rested before Thursday night’s game against Oklahoma. Even right after the injury occurred, Morris was adamant that he would be fine to play Thursday. And even though he isn’t back to full health yet, Morris may get some help before

game time. “They’re going to probably numb me up before the game and I’ll be able to do a range of motion, fully extend [my shoulder],” Morris told the Register. “Right now, I can’t fully extend all the way through so it’s kind of a push at the end of it just to get [the ball] up there. But it still felt good, so I’m not really worrying about that.”

Thrower, distance runner to represent ISU at nationals By Allison.Walters @iowastatedaily.com The excitement is high for Jan Jeuschede and Daniel Everett as they journey down south to Birmingham, Ala., this week to represent Iowa State at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. After successful performances at the Big 12 Championships in Ames last weekend, both athletes punched their tickets to the tournament that features some of the best collegiate athletes in the country. The meet will not be either of the athlete’s first rodeos with NCAA tournaments. Jeuschede, who will compete in the shot put, qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championship three consecutive years. The outdoor championship takes the top-24 people, while the indoor championships only takes the top-16, making it harder to qualify for indoors. For Everett, this season is his first competing as a Cyclone after running at Columbia University in New York. Everett competed at the NCAA Indoor Championship once before in the distance medley relay during his time at Columbia, making this his first individual qualification. Half of the athletes Everett will compete against at nationals were present at the Iowa State Classic, making the competition familiar to him. “It’s pretty easy to be a little anxious going up against some of the best guys in the country,” Everett said. “Its nice to know that I can hang with these guys.” Everett, who will compete in the 5,000-meter run, will have a small

crowd of his own to cheer him on this weekend. His parents, who live in Atlanta, Ga., will make the trip to watch their son compete. Along with his parents and a few family members from Texas, his high school coach, who hasn’t seen him compete collegiately, will be in attendance as well. “It’s awesome to be able to have him come up and watch,” Everett said. “I was really close with him. I had a really successful two years in high school when I ran for him.” Jeuschede’s confidence in his performance has led to high goals for nationals. Jeuschede is focusing on his first three throws of the competition and cited a difference in his performance to patience with his upper body. “I think I’m going to compete and throw really well,” Jeuschede said. “I’m definitely very nervous but more excited than anything else.” Despite some nervousness, Jeuschede wants to have fun and have a good experience. He hopes to throw a personal best and place in the top eight in order to snag a first-team AllAmerican spot. “It’s going to be a lot harder just to make the finals,” Jeuschede said. “Usually, I do well at big meets. They push me quite a bit.” After a couple weeks of low-volume practices, both athletes are beginning to feel their best physically. “I’ve been feeling really good,” Everett said. “I’m excited to see what I can do on fresh legs going into nationals.” The NCAA Championships will kick off at noon Friday starting with the men’s heptathlon.

Department of Computer Engineering

The Moth illustrates department’s history By Megan.Gilbert @iowastatedaily.com Three solitary fragments of smooth, white marble rise from the barren ground, seemingly insignificant until they’re seen from the perfect angle. Settled before Iowa State’s Coover Hall, The Moth, a sculpture by Mac Adams--commissioned by Iowa State--represents the computer engineering department. On Sept. 9, 1947, a computer at Harvard University crashed when a moth flew into an electrical circuit of the machine and caused the system to malfunction. “When scientists peeled the fried insect off of the hardware, they coined the term ‘debug,’” said Lynette

Pohlman, director of Iowa State’s University Museums. Inspired by the fascinating story, Adams designed what is now a well-known work of art on campus. “I see it as iconic,” Pohlman said. “I love that it is fanciful, narrative and abstract, yet it has humor.” Campus is void of human activity, and a fresh blanket of snow covers The Moth, which sprouts blindly from the frosted land. The scene is immaculate, Pohlman said while tearing up as she considered the beauty of The Moth. The piece uses perspective and light to share its narrative, she said. With each passing minute, hour, day or year, the image of The Moth changes slightly, implying that everything

changes with time. The image of The Moth is also different from other angles, similar to how people react to various challenges in their life as they grow older and wiser. The design of the Moth underwent careful consideration by its creator, Adams. Because the sculpture needed to convey the values of the computer engineering department and relate to other students, Adams conducted careful research before beginning his project. Under the Art in State Buildings program, .5 percent of the construction costs of a new building is used to commission art for the area. Art committees are selected for each building, and the committee must work together to create a proposal, find an artist, approve a budget and install the art. Once an artist is selected, he or she works with the department to explore its values and begin to develop ideas. Adams was selected to create a piece for this space based on his strong use of light and shadow and his impressive work with abstraction. “A work of art is only complete when it is understood,” said Dave Faux, interpretation specialist with University Museums.

Located west of Coover Hall, The Moth sculpture was sculpted by Mac Adams as a way to represent the computer engineering department at Iowa State.

Similar to the process in which the scientists went about finding the source of the computer’s problem, passersby must examine The Moth to discover what it is. The Moth’s pieces carry a larger meaning than simply implying that the moth was pulled out of the computer in several pieces. The sculpture is intended to help viewers understand the complexity of life. “Art that is well done will create a reaction,” said Nancy Gebhart, director of art education and visual literacy for University Museums.

“We’re never going to appeal to everyone’s taste of art,” Gebhart said. When Iowa State was established in 1858, it was created to be a beautiful and inspiring learning environment. Iowa State’s Art on Campus collection aims to inspire students to learn and create. Iowa State has an extensive collection of public art, with more than 2,000 pieces on display or in storage. Gebhart said The Moth is one of the most popular pieces of art on campus. Taking time to appreciate works of art improves

critical thinking, communication skills and improves the comprehension of any curriculum, Pohlman said. “We’re a very serious place; we don’t play very well, and yet I think playfulness and creativity are almost synonymous,” Pohlman said. “I think that playing is where great ideas pop up.” Just as the scientists at Iowa State struggled in their research to create the first computer, students must work each and every day to challenge themselves in order to appreciate and learn about works of art like The Moth.

BASKETBALL p1 turn it into “Hilton South.” “It’s great,” Niang said. “The amount of fans that show up in Kansas City for us is crazy, and we can’t thank them enough. It’s always a great environment, and credit to Cyclone Nation for that.” Iowa State will also bring a ton of confidence when it comes to the Big 12 tournament. The Cyclones have won the tournament the last two years, and Morris and guard Matt Thomas have never lost in the tournament. Doing it for a third straight time would be even more impressive. “We plan on trying to do it

REGENTS p1 vention hosts. One of the newest classes offered helps students pursue careers as wedding planners, which is the most popular occupation among event managers despite the small class sizes. Bosselman sees the strong partnership between the Gateway and Memorial Union hotels as well as businesses in the surrounding area and Des Moines as a reason for the strong enrollment and job placement rates, which have been nearly 97 percent in past years. “I’m astounded by the advancement we’ve seen,” Bosselman said. “Our students don’t lack internship opportunities. The partnerships from companies we’ve received far exceeds the number of students we are able to send out every year.” Though it has a low opening salary of $34,000 compared with the other programs discussed, Bosselman said his own experience with up to nine jobs in the hospitality industry is proof that students can prove their worth early and move up the professional ladder quickly. As for the future of the program, the apparel, events and hospitality manage-

three times in a row,” Morris said. “We do that [and] it would be very special.” There isn’t a lot of pressure to win, though, because of so many top teams in the Big 12. Winning would be nice and could benefit NCAA tournament seeding, but losing really wouldn’t have a large effect on the team. “All you can do is really gain from this opportunity,” Morris said. “[Losing] won’t really hurt you because you’re playing great competition every night.” Stringing together a few wins would be nice for seeding purposes and would also send Iowa State into the NCAA Tournament with some confidence and mo-

mentum, but the Cyclones first have to survive game one. “Any team we play in this league is going to be very tough,” Morris said. “I feel like this is going to be the hardest game in the Big 12 tournament — the first one.” Oklahoma has been a top team for most of the season and is led by All-American Buddy Hield. Teams can’t just key in on Hield because Isaiah Cousins, Jordan Woodard and Ryan Spangler all have the ability to make plays. Prohm said Iowa State and Oklahoma are similar in a lot of ways. Both have go-to playmakers in Niang and Hield. Both

have strong guard play. Both have difference-makers in the post in Jameel McKay and Spangler. The teams also both play up-tempo basketball, resulting in exciting, fast-paced games in their previous matchups. “I think both of us play so fast,” Niang said. “I think that’s what makes it so exciting.” Now that March has officially arrived, excitement is part of the game. The NCAA Tournament is coming up, but the atmosphere and competition level of the Big 12 is a perfect lead up to the Big Dance. “They love the atmosphere,” Prohm said. “They know what they’ve done [at

the last two Big 12 championships] is a terrific accomplishment.” Given the toughness of the road ahead, another Big

12 title would be the most impressive accomplishment yet. “We want to definitely leave out mark,” Morris said.

ment department plans to add more faculty and hopes that an improved convention facility near Scheman in the next five years will entice more companies to visit Iowa State and offer more experience for students. An emphasis on the master’s of engineering program proceeded for the rest of the meeting as three recent programs were analyzed for their success at Iowa State in the past five years. One of the most successful programs in terms of enrollment was the master’s of engineering in information assurance, which is online program taught by Doug Jacobson, professor of electrical and computer engineering. Being part of one of the oldest cyber security programs in the country, the graduate study focuses on educating students on the offensive and defensive skills needed to succeed as a cyber security consultant or technician. It is currently one of biggest growing fields for post-graduate engineering education. Beginning with an estimated proposal of 10 graduate students per year in 2011, the program exceeded this count by one student. Since then, the numbers

have nearly doubled every year, with a current count of 50 students. A common trait across all three master’s degrees is there are no full-time faculty members assigned to the students. Students also work together with peers in classes from different degree programs. “Half of all our courses have one or more lab experiments, and one capstone is entirely lab based,” Jacobson said. “Students tend to really enjoy this aspect of the courses.” The most popular lab that Jacobson sees students engaging in involves studentbuilt computer networks attempting to be attacked and defended by fellow classmates. This concept concerned the board because of the possibility of students learning the basics to act maliciously toward company networks and the American public. “We have every student use the standard ISU admissions program, but how do we know we aren’t teaching the bad guy?” Jacobson said. “We get asked many times if we are luring students to the dark side, and we simply say that we aren’t teaching our graduates anything they can’t learn online. Generally

those who want to be bad people don’t expose themselves at a university level inside a classroom.” Enrollment is expected to stay at its current rate as the need for cyber security increases during the next few years. The department hopes to fund a new Info Security Education Lab to provide a place for students to learn and function. The master’s of engineering programs in materials science and civil engineering, the remaining degrees shared during the meeting, had similarly lower rates of enrollment but remain hopeful for future growth. Materials science retained the lowest enrollment during the past four years. Based on researching and applying available and new materials to different aspects of engineering, the application includes creating lightweight materials for airplanes or new aluminum designs inside cars. “We are a small but powerful force,” ut of a 15-person crew the materials engineer works with everyone, helping students discover many disciplines making almost all of our work collaborative,” said Kristen Constant, Morrill professor and chair of materials sci-

ence and engineering. Despite the low enrollment, Constant assured the board that the program was small at Iowa State but very large on a national scale, stating material science as the building blocks for most of the eight engineering departments. A benefit seen by graduates is the generally large base salary of $70,000 to $72,000 and a job placement rate of 97 percent. Because the degree is designed around a non-thesis approach, it is much more flexible and manageable for those who are already employed by a company. Constant’s plan for improvement begins with the incorporation of more online classes, which is a challenge for the department because of the hands-on nature of the class, as well as a promotion strategy devised directly from Iowa State’s alumni. In a similar position as material science, civil engineering has witnessed a slow but steady enrollment increase. The degree requires 30 credit hours, with six required outside of the department. Much like material and information assurance engineering, civil has no

full-time faculty and takes place in the classroom with other undergraduate students. Enrollment has been met all five years. 29 graduates pursued a degree in 2015, a number Say Ong, professor of civil, construction and environmental engineering, believes will grow a much more rapid rate. “We think that enrollment will grow,” Ong said. “If you want to get a professional engineer license, the NCEES is now increasing educational requirements to receive this license. A master’s degree may soon be required. Without it, many companies see you as a basic engineer making it difficult to take on specialized projects.” However, the board questioned if the major would continue to grow even if the requirements of specialized projects did not increase. “I think the requirement isn’t something we are relying on,” Ong said. “Many companies see with a bachelor’s degree that the engineers are very basic and so in order to take on specialized projects they may need this program. However, I don’t see the numbers getting up to the larger 100 students realm.”
