Hield drops 39 to lead Oklahoma past Iowa State By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com KANSAS CITY, Missouri — Walking off the floor of the Sprint Center in Kansas City, a place dubbed as ‘Hilton South,’ was a solemn affair Thursday night. Heads were down. Faces were blank. The thousands of ISU fans who had packed the Sprint Center were filtering out. The Cyclones’ rein of two straight Big 12 Tournament championships was over. No. 21 Iowa State (21-11, 10-8 Big 12) couldn’t complete the late-game comeback on Thursday, falling to No. 6 Oklahoma (24-6, 12-6 Big 12) 79-76 in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Championship. “I’m really upset,” said forward Georges Niang. “Obviously, being in the Big 12 for four years and going on like this obviously stings, but the competition that goes on in the Big 12 is obviously special and something that I’ll miss.

Bakken pipeline approved Iowa becomes final state to accept proposal By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com

The Iowa Utilities Board voted 3-0 on Thursday to approve the Bakken oil pipeline, which would carry crude oil through four states, including Iowa. The pipeline, proposed by Dakota Access LLC, would stretch 1,168 miles long, including diagonally across Iowa and three other states: North Dakota, South Dakota and Illinois. Iowa is the last state to approve the pipeline, and the unanimous decision would also allow Dakota Access to use eminent domain for land needed for the construction of the pipeline. “Gov. Branstad and Lt. Gov. Reynolds appreciate the thorough, thoughtful and transparent process conducted by the Iowa Utilities Board in reaching a decision,” Branstad and Reynolds said in a joint statement. “The Iowa Utilities Board allowed many different stakeholders to voice their opinions on the Bakken pipeline and the governor and lieutenant governor respect the decision made.” At the Iowa Utilities Board meeting Thursday, board members said they thoroughly reviewed all factors, including risks

Iowa was final state to approve the Bakken pipeline, giving it the go-ahead to begin construction. Iowa was hesitant to approve the pipeline because of eminent domain related issues and the damage it may do to the land.

to the environment, before making their decision. Protesters inside the board room stood up one by one, saying “I’m an Iowan, and I vote no,” before walking out of the room. Activists have argued against the construction, arguing that the possibility of oil spills presents a threat to the environment. Those in favor say the pipeline would create jobs and push the United States toward energy independence. The pipeline would pass from the Northwest to the Southeast through 18 counties in Iowa: Lyon, Sioux, O’Brien, Cherokee,

Buena Vista, Sac, Calhoun, Webster, Boone, Story, Polk, Jasper, Mahaska, Keokuk, Wapello, Jefferson, Van Buren and Lee. The proposed pipeline route would also include some land currently owned by Iowa State University that is used for a dairy farm, although the university has said the pipeline would not present any operational problems for Iowa State. The IUB has been hosting public hearings and deliberations on the pipeline, and three members served on the board, all appointed by Branstad, to make their decision.

Grassley takes on 4 Democratic contenders By Varad.Diwate @iowastatedaily.com The U.S. Senate race from Iowa is shaping up between four Democratic contenders and incumbent Sen. Chuck Grassley. The election will take place Nov. 8 this year. The Democratic candidate will be decided during the primary on June 7. “This Senate election is pretty crucial,” said Mack Shelley, university professor of political science. “Iowa has a habit of keeping people in the Senate for a pretty long time once they get elected.” He said one of the issues for Grassley could be his refusal to

Daylight Saving Time Corrections By Eric.Wirth @iowastatedaily.com

At 2 a.m. Sunday, the world’s phones will gain an hour. Sunday starts Daylight Saving Time, when the clocks move forward one hour in an attempt to allow

citizens to better make use of daylight hours. An original idea from Benjamin Franklin, Daylight Saving Time was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson in 1918. While people will lose an hour of sleep, there are at least two potential upsides

to the beginning of Daylight Saving Time. First, a spring forward means a fall back later in the year. On Nov. 6, everyone will gain an hour of sleep this year. Second, customers can stop in at Caribou Coffee on Sunday from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. to grab a free coffee.

Students showcase unique cultures By Jaki.Cavins @iowastatedaily.com From flute performances and dances to vibrant outfits and talk shows, international students at Iowa State are given the chance to showcase their unique cultures and traditions at the International Friendship Fair, which will take place Friday at the Ames Public Library. “The international students and spouses love showing off their culture,” said Angela Merrick, executive director of YWCA AmesISU. Some of them will wear their native attire and some will show a cultural dance. It makes them happy to bring that culture, a part of their home, here.” A total of 4,041 international students enrolled at Iowa State in the fall of 2015, filling the campus with individuals from more than 100 different foreign countries each with their own unique heritage, according to the ISU website Booths with information about the countries of the different international students as well as performances will be offered at the event. The fair goes along with the YWCA’s mission to eliminate racism, empow-

er women and strengthen communities by embracing all nationalities and educating people in order to eliminate stereotypes. About five fairs take place each semester, and the location varies each time. While

it will be at the Ames Public Library this year, it has previously taken place at the Memorial Union and oftentimes at schools within the community. Since the program has grown during the past 10

years, the YWCA has had the opportunity to bring the event to more middle and elementary schools across Iowa. This is important for the mission of YWCA in bringing cultural awareness, appre-

ciation and understanding to young children, especially because it helps eliminate racism. “We are able to go to schools all over Iowa,” said Swatie Bansal, global outreach coordinator at YWCA

Ames-ISU. “It is important to give children a foundation of global integration.” She said the event is meant to be a fun and educational experience overall. The people who attend, including the students who participate in it, have had great experiences with the fair. Bansal said most of the international students who participate beg to return and showcase at the next one. “There are students from so many different countries, some small ones even that people may not have heard of,” Swatie said. “The fair gives people a chance to visualize what it is like in these countries. It is an opportunity to make great friends.” In hopes to bring together the entire community in embracing other cultures, the International Friendship Fair is meant for everyone from young children and college students to the elderly. “We’ve really reached different people in the community,” Merrick said. “It educates people in diversity. It’s so important to educate children [because] it’s the easiest way to eliminate racism. I think the elderly at Heartlands Senior Services love learning about different cultures as well. it educates the community from 3 years old to 100.”

Staudt wins; Manning retires By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Miss the news this week? Read our recap of the biggest stories below, then test your knowledge with our online news quiz. Staudt-West elected in Student Government race Pledging to continue making “Iowa State great,” Cole Staudt and Cody West overwhelmingly won their bids for Student Government president and vice president. Staudt, senior in political science, and West, junior in biology, received 48.46 percent of the total vote count. A total of 5,742 votes were cast, which is a 3 percent hike in turnout from last year. Raghul Ethiraj, senior in aerospace engineering, and Akol Dok, senoir in political science, came in second with 25.64 percent, while fellow candidates Zackary Reece, junior in political science, and Cole Button, sophomore in finance, came in third with 23.6 percent of the vote. “I want to thank all the voters, whomever they voted for; our campaign team, who all worked really hard,” Staudt said. “The voter turnout was good, but we want it to be higher next year, up to 20 percent.” The Supreme Court referendum, which reserved nominees should be named by the Senate, passed with 78.79 percent of the vote, or 4,403 votes of the total 5,588. The Campustown referendum, or a move to make Campustown a sub-

constituency of United Residents of Off-Campus (UROC), also passed with 4,388 votes of the total 5,471. Other referendums that passed include Student Government Constitution amendments, with 5,119 votes or 92.35 percent of the total 5,543 votes. This referendum covered a variety of changes to the Constitution, including: required training for the president and finance director as well as the insertion of a nondiscrimination statement to preamble K. However, the cabinet treasurer referendum failed with majority weighing at 50.6 percent, or 2,792 votes of a total 5,518. If passed, this referendum would have removed the position of treasurer as a statutory member of the executive cabinet. A full list of newly elected senators is available at iowastatedaily.com. The Daily’s Zach Clemens contributed to this story. ISU Police investigating a string of sexual assaults At least three sexual assaults have been reported to ISU Police over the past week and a half, according to ISU Police daily logs and a press release. Last week, ISU Police provided resources for an individual, according to ISU Police logs, and a third party reported a sexual assault in Larch Hall, although police were unable to confirm the location. Two days later on Friday, another individual reported being sexually assaulted in a residence hall, according to ISU Police’s

Continuing its efforts in educating young kids on robotics, coding and mathematics, the local Sylvan Learning Center will host another Spring Break STEM camp this year. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics make up STEM, and the kids participating will work with Lego robotics kits in order to explore the four fields. In addition, Sylvan educators will work closely with campers on coding and advanced math techniques, said Katie Ruby, Sylvan Learning Center director. The camp is one of several the Sylvan center hosts throughout the year. The first ones started at the beginning of 2015 and ran for five days roughly every six weeks. The Sylvan Learning Center has operated in Ames for more than 10 years, so providing personal, direct tutoring isn’t anything new, Ruby said. In fact, the Spring Break STEM camp accepts only 10 young learners. “We find, with all our course programs, exceed-

ISU Police also said Monday they are investigating a sexual assault in Friley Hall from Sunday. A woman reported that two men approached her while she was resting in a lounge area. The identity of the men, or whether they are ISU students, is unknown, according to a release from ISU Police. Questions have also been raised about timely warning alerts sent to students. Aaron Delashmutt, interim assistant vice president and chief of police, said that the first two incidents mentioned did not warrant an alert because there

was not enough info on the incidents. Information on the Friley Hall incident was sent to students. Nancy Reagan dies Nancy Reagan, the former first lady and wife to the late-President Ronald Reagan, died Sunday. Reagan was 94.

Ruby also said kids usually come back for more camps and sometimes individual sessions after their initial introduction to STEM activities and concepts. At the end of camp, kids receive a backpack with a T-shirt, other fun souvenirs and a certificate of completion for the camp. Because this is a special spring camp, the Sylvan Learning Center has partnered with Ames Parks and Recreation to spread the word. The camp runs from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. March 1419 at the Sylvan Learning Center on Mortensen Road. The cost of attendance is $215 for residents and $230 for non-residents, boys and girls in grades 2-8.

Amy Smith pursues book

ISU assistant professor to work on manuscript at Notre Dame

By Alex.Cory @iowastatedaily.com Amy Smith, assistant professor of political science was awarded a visiting fellowship at the University of Notre Dame. Part of the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, Smith will use her year of residency at Notre Dame to continue developing her book manuscript, which is titled “The Culture Wars in Another America: Evangelicals, Catholics, and Brazilian Democracy.” The book examines the differences between politics in the United States and in Brazil, where religion affects politics in a different way. Evangelical groups in Brazil are growing and exerting more power in politics than before, Smith said. “Over time, evangelicals have become more politically active in fighting for policy positions but are generally more active in promoting evangelical politicians,” Smith said, adding that evangelical politicians in turn support evangelical rights and freedom in the media.

Amy Smith, assistant professor of political science, will spend a year at Notre Dame to continue working on her book manuscript in an environment that is a hub for like-minded people.

While Catholicism has been the biggest religion in Brazil for a long time, the growing number of evan-

gelicals is causing a shift in Brazil’s political climate. Smith said that while evangelicals are socially

conservative on issues such as sexuality and family values, they aren’t economically conservative, instead often supporting state welfare programs. Despite the changes Brazilian politics have faced because of the rise of evangelicals, Smith said for the most part, they have the same ideals. “The most religious Catholics are like the most religious evangelicals,” Smith said. Smith said she is looking forward to her Visiting Fellowship. “Notre Dame is a hub for people who study Latin American politics and religion in politics,” Smith said. “There’s a kind of synergy that happens when people interested in the same things are in the same place and get to talk about them.” Other individuals, beyond the academia, are also interested in the conflict of religion and politics. “I think it’s interesting to see the kinds of effects religion can have on politics, and that is definitely still a huge thing in the United States,” said Katie Madine, senior with a non-degree in liberal arts and sciences.

StuGov hosts Big XII on the Hill By Zach.Clemens @iowastatedaily.com The Big 12 tournament has arrived, but student leadership from around the country traveled to the nation’s capitol for a different kind of Big XII. Big XII on the Hill is a yearly conference for Big XII schools to visit Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. However, this year was Iowa State’s turn to host the event. Numerous Student Government members and student leaders went to the nation’s capital to discuss issues of importance to ISU

GRASSLEY p1 ate in 1981 and was last reelected in 2010. The University of Northern Iowa graduate has also been a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1975 until 1981 and of the Iowa state legislature from 1959 until 1974. “Sen. Grassley has never taken anything for granted in any of his races — he always works and runs hard regardless of his opponent,” Eric Woolson, Grassley’s campaign communications coordinator wrote in an email. “A quick look at his previous margins of victory will attest to that. “The Democratic National Committee seemed intent on finding a new candidate despite three candidates already in the race. The contention that Patty Judge is somehow a formidable candidate is a dubious one and she may not, in fact, even be the Democratic nominee.” He added that Grassley’s position on the next Supreme Court nominee will be popular as “ voters made it very clear with the GOP landslide in 2014 that they didn’t want a Congress rubber stamping President Obama’s agenda” and that the Senate has the prerogative to do so. Grassley is chairman of the Judiciary Committee and serves on finance, agriculture, budget and taxation committees. Patty Judge The former Iowa lieutenant governor announced her intention to run in an interview with The Des Moines Register last week. She has served as secretary of agriculture for the state and was elected in 2004 as lieutenant governor. She is also a registered nurse and dairy farmer. “I know this state, I know people here and I’ve worked hard here for a long time for people,” she told The Register. “I decided a few years ago maybe that it was time to take a little easier

students. David Moore III, senior in kinesiology and director of special events for Student Government, planned the entire trip for Iowa State. “We started working on this trip in August,” Moore said. “It was a long process.” One of the biggest issues ISU members discussed with members of Congress was the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act. The Higher Education Act allocates funds for Pell grants, Perkins loans and impacts interest loans. “I think everyone at Iowa State wants college to be affordable, that’s increas-

ingly being talked about in the media and on the campaign trail,” said Adelai Swanson, senior in agricultural business and director of the ISU ambassadors program. “But we are feeling effects of that currently.” Iowa has the eighth largest student debt in the nation, Swanson said, so the need to reauthorize the Higher Education Act is an important issue in Iowa. Swanson also said there is a lot of discussion in D.C. about simplifying the FAFSA to make it easier to apply. Campus sexual assault and student safety, which

have become a focus on campus this year through the “Its On Us” and “Start by Believing” campaigns, were also discussed with members of Congress. “They were all very receptive,” said Student Government President Dan Breitbarth. “I think it might be nice for them to get someone under the age of 30 who want to discuss issues with them. They were all very open to keeping in contact with us in the future.” The Higher Education Act would need to be reauthorized by the end of the year, unless a new package can be created by Congress.

path, but this one’s got me fired up.” As per the Iowa Secretary of State website, she has not yet filed her nomination. Judge’s campaign has asked supporters on social media to help gather signatures and get her name on the ballot. Her campaign did not respond to a request for an interview. Rob Hogg Hogg is a third-term state senator from Senate District 33. He was first elected to the Iowa House of Representative in 2002 and re-elected in 2004. He has worked as a law clerk and at private law firms. The current state legislator cited three key issues that spurred him to run for U.S. Senate: climate change, campaign finance reform and creating a functional Congress. “We just have to get Congress to work again on a full range of issues,” Hogg said in an interview. “Congress is not functioning well. The obstruction from Sen. Grassley and others on the upcoming nominee for the Supreme Court is the latest and perhaps the most current example of how dysfunctional it has become.” Hogg said his experience in the state legislature is evident of his commitment. He said he was able to compromise and avoid a shutdown in the state legislature in 2011 and demonstrated working across party lines as a strength. “I understand he has got a 42-year head start and under our broken campaign finance system, he has got a $4.5 million head start. I recognize it’s a challenge,” he said on the challenge against Grassley. “I believe it’s time for change. I obviously respect his long service to our state and country. But the reality is that, in recent times, he has increasingly put his party ahead of the good of our state and our country.” When asked about Judge entering the race, he said he welcomes Judge but thinks

he is the better candidate. “I think I am a better candidate because Iowans are looking for new leadership,” Hogg said. “I don’t think she provides that leadership.” He added that Judge has recently entered the race at the last minute, which might concern some people about her commitment. Bob Krause Krause is a former state legislator and a retired colonel from the Army Reserve and National Guard. “I have always been interested in politics,” Krause said in an interview. “I was first elected to the state legislature when I was 22. So the desire to serve has been there for a long time.” As a military veteran, Krause said veterans issues are important for him apart from economic issues. He said Grassley’s efforts to privatize Sallie Mae, the federal loan program, and rewriting bankruptcy laws could adversely affect students. Krause said his military experience and deployments in different parts of the world set him apart from other Democratic candidates. He is also a small businessman and a member on a school board. He said Grassley has been “out-of-touch” with middle-class issues as “his efforts have been to the 1 percent, not the 99 percent” given his support for TransPacific Partnership. He also criticized Grassley for trying to repeal the estate tax and opposing the minimum wage increase, which affects several people in the state. “Since students at Iowa State are future members of the middle class, they should be extremely aware of what Sen. Grassley has done,” Krause said. On the challenge of going against Grassley, Krause said current conditions could mean the incumbent could be out of office after the election. “I think this is the year

he is going to bump out,” Krause said. “The Republican Party is badly split, and I think that’s going to hurt him. There are also a lot of people who have become aware of the wrongs he has done to the middle class.” Tom Fiegen As per his campaign website, Fiegen, a bankruptcy attorney, served as an Iowa State senator from 2001 until 2003. “I am running to protect and expand the grown-local farm movement; clean up Iowa water and stop the excessive use of dangerous chemicals in agriculture,” Fiegen said on his website. Student debt, Social Security, Wall Street reform, campaign finance reform, income inequality and climate change emerge as key issues on Fiegen’s campaign website. He has endorsed Bernie Sanders in the presidential race. “I am a candidate with no super-PAC,” a statement on his website reads. “I don’t want their money. That’s because I don’t represent billionaire interests. I represent working Iowans. Our system has fallen far out of balance and it’s time to fix it.” Fiegen supports a water quality requirement in the next farm bill in order to qualify for federal subsidies and encouraging food production from small farms. Fiegen’s campaign did not respon d to an email request for an interview. Robert Rees Robert Rees, a former talk radio show host in Des Moines, has said he intends to seek the Republican nomination — taking on the task of knocking out Grassley in the Republican primary. Rees, who describes himself a libertarian-leaning Republican, has said he is most concerned about term limits for members of Congress. His website also lists overturning Roe v. Wade, balancing the budget and protecting the Second Amendment.

Spring Break offers an escape for students.

Have fun at spring break, but stay safe

“Big Hero 6” follows a 14-year-old boy named Hiro, who bonds with a robot that is designed to be a medical unit. The movie acknowledges Hiro’s pain and weaknesses of losing his brother, and other characters don’t think any less of him. Columnist Beiwel believes more movies should include realistic men characters.

Emotion’s not emasculating Children’s movies need more realistic male characters By Maddy.Beiwel @iowastatedaily.com

ver the past few years, a greater influence has been placed on providing good role models for young girls. In real life, singers and actresses have been lauded and condemned for the impact they may have on the impressionable teens and girls who look up to them. Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj and the Kardashians are often at the top of the list of “bad” role models for children because of their over-sexualized images, their disregard for rules and norms, and in the case of Minaj and Cyrus, their explicit lyrical content. Many parents think these women have been sending the wrong type of message to their impressionable young girls. This need for role models has stretched to the animated world in movies such as Disney’s “Tangled,” “Frozen” and “Brave.” All three movies have strong female characters who work to help themselves rather than relying on the stereotypical male savior. It’s good that we’re moving away from old beliefs to imbue girls with

confidence and self-assurance. We tell them they’re beautiful no matter what and that they should feel comfortable in their skin. They should no longer be fettered by old social conventions. And that’s fantastic. But what about young boys? Disney movies, as much as I love them, can send some terrible messages to boys. They have to be buff and they have to want marriage. As fathers, they will be lacking or absent and they have to display strength and confidence in all their activities. If they don’t, they will be seen as less of a man. It’s too much to ask of anyone, particularly impressionable young minds. They should see themselves as heroes, but there’s no way to measure up completely. Studies show that boys’ self-esteem suffers much to the same degree as girls. Boys may try to mask their insecurities with “swagger,” but many report feeling frustrated or angered by their expectations. The tide is changing, I believe, but there is so much emphasis on increasing the self-confidence of young women, and the same bolstering that young men need is often ignored. My favorite subversion of this is the 2014 Disney movie “Big Hero 6.” The film follows a 14-year-old boy named Hiro, who bonds with a robot that is designed to be a medical unit. This robot, Baymax, was

created by his older brother Tadashi, who (spoiler) dies in the first half of the movie. The film is unique in the way that it not only acknowledges Hiro’s grief but also addresses it. He is weakened by his pain, and those around him don’t think less of him for it. Hiro cries. Disney showed a grieving young boy who is vulnerable after a loss. Hiro grows. He acknowledges how he feels without being mocked or told to get over it, and he learns to accept the loss. Boys are many times told to appear infallible. They must be strong and unwavering. If we instill a fear of emotions in young men and boys, they’ll grow up being unable to deal with them. We don’t need to change what it means to be a man. We need to acknowledge the humanity of our younger generations of men. Boys don’t grow out of their emotions any more than women do. Children grow up watching cartoons and animated movies. Some of our first interpretations of adult relationships come from the depictions in easy-to-swallow animated films. These films are increasingly being altered to show positive depictions of young women, who are not there just to be saved. I’d like to see more depictions of men, who aren’t there just to save the girl. Everyone can be vulnerable and everyone can be strong regardless of their gender.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

StuGov not doing its diligence in diversity George H. Weston Sociology, Ph.D. candidate Graduate college student On Feb. 17, 2016, the Student Government Student Senate debated a bill that would have placed a referendum on the ballot last week that would have authorized a senate seat designated to represent international students. That bill failed 13-20. Some opposing arguments from the majority were: (1) Nothing is stopping international students from being elected to senate, and (2) How many other “special interest” groups would ask for a seat, and where would it end? On the first argument, we can look at the UROC (United Residents of Off-Campus) senate race, where there were nine seats and 12 candidates on the ballot last week. The two candidates whose names sounded the most “ethnic” (read: not of European origin), Hamad Abbas and Abhijit Patwa, finished in the bottom three and outside of being elected. Although I am not familiar with all of Mr. Patwa’s accomplishments, I know he was the finance director of Student Government from 2014-15 and he endorsed the Staudt-West campaign. His endorsement

was even promoted by that campaign. Typically those who actively support a winning presidential campaign will benefit in the election. The other UROC Senate candidates who openly supported the Staudt-West campaign finished first, third, fourth and fifth, but somehow Mr. Patwa finished 11th. I am not just aware of Mr. Abbas’ accomplishments, but also his character. I have been highly impressed with his work as the current finance director and for the universal respect he has by others. Before this year he was a twoterm senator and in that second year he was elected by his peers as the “Senator of the Year.” If there is nothing stopping qualified and good individuals from being elected to the Senate, then someone explain to me how Mr. Abbas finished in 10th place. It would seem that we still have a long way to go at Iowa State University when it comes to accepting diversity and ensuring leadership opportunities on an equal playing field. The narrative all this school year at Iowa State has been finding ways to address race, ethnicity,and xenophobia. Here at Iowa State University, it seems that someone who does not have an “American” sounding name can lead to students not using one of their nine votes

to consider him or her. This is not a problem that is exclusive to Iowa State University, but is one we need to address. The two ideas that I have heard recently to improve diversity on this campus involve a “Diversity and Inclusion Task Force” or the creation of a “more formal governing body” for international students. The task force concept does not offer any real alternatives that can start the process of greater integration immediately, and the latter seems to have a “separate but equal” vibe. The second point people made against the referendum proposal was, “Where would it end?” Would there then be a Senate seat for Native-Americans, Asian-Americans, Latinos, black students, LGBT students, students with disabilities and veterans? The University of Iowa has all of the seats just mentioned and I wish they were not necessary; however, our recent election results lead me to believe that we might need to create more opportunities to ensure greater diversity and proper representation on this campus. I am starting to lose faith that Student Government will implement real initiatives that can improve the environment of diversity on campus. Since a top-to-bottom approach may

not work, I call on college and residence councils to help with this initiative to improve diversity on our student Senate. It is not your responsibility or fault, but you have the opportunity to give new chances to those previously overlooked. When a Senate seat opens up (which will happen throughout the next school year), look outside the box and consider those who you may have not considered before. This is not just about international students or minorities. This campus is 43 percent women, but the Senate makeup of women is far below that. As the results of the elections stand now, the gender makeup of the Senate will have an ever greater disparity than last year as over 80 percent of those elected to the Senate last week were men. I was elected to be a Graduate College Student Senator and at the GPSS (Graduate and Professional Student Senate) meeting on Monday, March 28, I plan to surrender my seat to another student who will improve the diversity of the student Senate. International students make up about 37 percent of all graduate students, so I hope that one of these students will step up because I think they will better represent the underrepresented international students on campus than I could.

Ah, Spring Break, you have finally shown your promising face of hope. After eight weeks of class, cold and chaos, we welcome you with open arms. Why wouldn’t you go on Spring Break? It’s a week of swimming, tanning and drinking. Or as Jimmy Fallon would say, a week of STD. Which isn’t an unrealistic comparison, considering about 60 percent of sex on Spring Break is unprotected. Not to worry, though, just find one of the 50 percent of people who are planning to have sex, who are more likely to have that latex savior layer (a condom…). Ladies, don’t succumb to barrier-less sexual pressure. Almost 60 percent of women say they act promiscuous to fit in her Spring Break surroundings. Almost 80 percent of men who go on a spring break trip want to have sex with someone they meet on their trip, whereas about 20 percent of women do, so there’s no reason someone shouldn’t budget for a box of Trojans. You know what else to budget for? Everything. The average spring breaker spends about $1,000 for a week of beaching. You know that student debt that’s building up? Nevermind that, and contribute to the more than $1 billion spent on Spring Break annually just between Texas and Florida. Those $8 beach-side mixed drinks sure do add up. Not to mention, South Padre last year gained $80,000 in fines from spring breakers doing Spring Break things. Not everything is a loss, though. About half of the men who spring break drink until they pass out. So that’s a 50/50 shot you’ll hold your liquor, guys. Women, little better off, with 40 percent saying they drink til they pass out. And we thought you college students were out every dollars and mug night building your tolerance. If you’re looking for a win, that wet T-shirt contest could be a fun activity, but not if it ends up on Facebook the next week when all the places you sent your beautified résumé begin to scour your social media. Future bossperson probably wouldn’t think that too classy. When you think taking that pic with the beer bong, don’t. No matter how fun it seems, the only thing intelligent after consuming the average of 10 to 18 alcoholic beverages many spring breakers drink each day, is water. Don’t let all this get you down. Spring Break is fun. It’s your chance to let go of some of that pent up stress, but do so safely. If you see someone who has had too much to drink stumbling into an unsafe situation, be a decent person and help out. About 1,825 college students die each year from alcohol poisoning, according to Forbes. More than 690,000 students are physically assaulted and almost 100,000 are sexually assaulted. Despite all the money down the drain, the peeling skin from unattended sun exposure preparation, the slightly damaged liver, the never-ending headache and the leg-cramp inducing car ride to bring you to your fun-filled destination, have a fun Spring Break. And when you’re complaining about cramping in a car with eight other people, remember it’s part of the fun, considering it might be one of the only parts you remember.

Kate Hall, right, leaps into the long jump pit at Big 12s. Hall took second overall in the event. Hillman, Hall and sophomore long jumper Jhoanmy Luque will represent Iowa State at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships on Friday and Saturday in Birmingham, Ala.

Shot putter, young jumpers leap into nationals By Kyle.Heim @iowastatedaily.com Getting to know Christina Hillman requires the understanding that a two-time national champion can go from having her ensuing indoor season shut down by injury and experiencing an outdoor season full of disappointment back to being a champion again. It requires the understanding that someone can possess opposing character traits. Hillman’s one of the strongest shot putters in the country but wouldn’t hurt a fly. She’s as confident as any of her competitors but never fails to recognize the achievements of her opponents and teammates. She’s one of her biggest supporters and her biggest critic. Inside the track and field world, Hillman is known as a three-time Big 12 champion and two-time national champion in the shot put. She also currently holds the second best mark in the shot put in the country and will make her final return to the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships on Friday and Saturday in Birmingham, Ala. “[Hillman’s] very supportive, encouraging and very hard-working,” said ISU freshman Kate Hall. “She definitely deserves this because she’s been working really hard.” But the true Christina Hillman can only be seen when she isn’t competing. Just when it seemed like her day couldn’t get any better after setting a season-best mark and winning the title in the shot put at the Big 12 Championships two weeks ago, Hillman displayed even more excitement watching her best friend compete. “I was happy that I did well at Big 12s, but I don’t know if that was my favorite moment,” Hillman said. “And he’d kill me if he

heard this, but I think my favorite moment was seeing [ISU men’s shot putter Jan Jeuschede] do really well.” Jeuschede recorded an indoor personal record in the shot put, finishing runner-up at Big 12s and earning a qualifying bid to nationals. “I was jumping up and down,” Hillman said. “I was having a ball. I would say that was probably my favorite moment.” Hillman has no doubt she will end her indoor season strong at the NCAA Championships, even though two summers ago her collegiate track and field career was in limbo after her back gave out on her while doing the technique of a front-squat wrong. “I felt my back kind of crunch in a way,” she said. “It completely gave out on me. I ended up getting two bulged disks and a herniation.” Hillman has even spent the entire indoor season dealing with an elbow injury, and her back still isn’t 100 percent. But she doesn’t waste time

pitying herself. “If you think about it, everyone has injuries,” Hillman said. “I know Dani [Winters from Kansas State, who finished second in the shot put at Big 12s] has had her share of injuries. “Some of the female shot putters and I will sit down and talk about what ails us. We sound old and decrepit. But it’s the name of the game. We put our bodies through a lot, so it’s not like I’m the only one suffering from injuries.” It only seems fitting that while Hillman begins to add the finishing touches to her collegiate indoor track and field career, two up-and-coming stars will just begin adding to their own. Freshman Kate Hall and sophomore Jhoanmy Luque will both take cracks at their first indoor track and field championships this weekend. “It’s going to be an awesome experience,” Hall said. “It’s going to be so much fun going with [Luque] and competing. We’re going to be there to push each

Hillman’s message to “little Tina” Christina Hillman shared a message of what advice she would give to herself if she could travel back in time to when she was a freshman: “Please take care of your body, please. When I was freshman I thought I was invincible. I never really had a serious injury in my life. I thought I was invulnerable. I thought I could pretty much handle anything. I always thought that pushing was the way to go, how to get better, but sometimes it’s actually taking breaks and knowing your limits that really count. “I would go and tell little Tina that it’s OK to take breaks. It’s OK to give your body rest, and it will help you more in the long run. Honestly, sometimes I feel like I find myself thinking what would I have been like? What would I have accomplished if I had taken better care of my body, if I hadn’t had these injuries?” other and encourage each other, and that’s what matters.” Hall owns the fifth best mark in the long jump, while Luque is ranked 15th. “[Hall and Luque] are just so talented,” Hillman said. They’re young. “[Hall], she’s a true freshman and she’s going to indoor [nationals]. I didn’t go to indoor [nationals] until my sophomore year. She just has a lot of potential and so does [Luque]. [Luque] has two events that she’s really good at that she qualified outdoor. “It’s so cool that I’m leaving this year, but they have so many years left. So I have a lot of hope in them and I know they can do some great things.” Luque said she was concerned after not qualifying for indoor nationals last season, but a personal record in the long jump at this year’s Big 12 Championships helped sneak her into the top 16 in the country. “It means a lot because it’s very hard to go to nationals and represent the university,” Luque said. “I feel very proud of that.

“It’s great [having Hall going too]. Our relationship is awesome. She helps me, and I help her.” Hall is the only one in the group to qualify for indoor nationals her freshman year and she is trying not to get ahead of herself. “I’m just trying to take one step at a time, but obviously in mind I’m thinking about winning and becoming an All-American,” she said. Hall and Luque will both compete in the long jump at 7:10 p.m. Friday. Despite having an NCAA qualifying time of 7.30 seconds in the 60-meter dash, Hall opted out of competing in the event at nationals to focus on the long jump. Hillman will wrap up competition for the Cyclones in the women’s shot put, with competition beginning at 5 p.m. The three athletes represent an ISU team that recently climbed into the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Assocaition top-25 poll for the first time this season, ranking No. 23 overall.

meets this season, focusing on the team and working on routines. “I’ve been working on little details,” Green said. “Those little 10ths that add up so I can get to that [goal] score.” Although Green is not an all-around gymnast, she wants to contribute more to the team. “Due to my circumstances this season I can’t, but I always want to do more and contribute more,” Green said. “Hopefully, eventually I can be.” Green took second for the team and earned a 9.775 for her bars routine for the CyHawk meet. Green has been a solid contributor for Iowa State on the uneven bars event all season.

Although the final regular season meet is away from Ames, Green wants to bring the team atmosphere from the CyHawk meet to Lexington. Green wants to feed off the energy the team brought to Hilton and bring it this weekend. Young knows the team has to compete well this weekend if it wants to qualify for the NCAA regionals meet. Coming off of a tight score win, the Cyclones need to stay focused, and Young has the perfect recipe for it. “We don’t want to push the numbers as much so we can stay energized and stay healthy,” Young said. “It’s more about quality rather than quantity.”

Golfer rewriting record books Junior Nick Voke two wins away from most in ISU history By Jack.Bluhm @iowastatedaily.com The sound of a golf club hitting a golf ball cuts through the crisp spring air at the Veenker Memorial Golf Course in Ames, Iowa, over and over again. ISU coach Andrew Tank looks on and just watches, not saying a single word. His player goes through the same motion of swinging his golf club and driving the ball out into the open field of the driving range. Smack, smack, smack. Some teammates look on and watch in silence, mentally taking notes on the differences in their swings and looking for little details that could help them elevate their own game. With each swing of the club, the expression on Nick Voke’s face never changes. Voke has reached that point during practice where he is absorbed by the game of golf, focused on making solid contact with the ball. He envisions it flying down the middle of the fairway, giving him the perfect set up shot to get it on the green and then into the hole. He is focused on making school history and having his name etched in the ISU record books. Voke was not immediately a dedicated golfer. He originally viewed golf as an old man’s game as a young boy. “I was about 11 when I first started to golf, thanks to one of

my mates’ dad dragging me out on the course one afternoon,” he said. After that first day on the course, Voke’s mother went out and bought him his first set of clubs. That is when his love affair with golf started. Eight years down the road, Voke played at the World Junior Championship, representing his home country of New Zealand. That’s when he finally believed he could get a scholarship through his golf game, so he started making connections with college coaches. Iowa State, however, was not on his immediate radar. “I did not know all that much about Iowa State back then and was not contacted right off the bat,” Voke said. “A fellow New Zealander who was at the tournament actually made connections with coach Tank first, which ultimately led him to me.” Voke feels like he has found a new family while leaving an impression at Iowa State. Voke’s first career win at Iowa State came during his sophomore year at the VCU shootout in Virginia. This was only the beginning. “My first one was a pretty big milestone for me because it was my first college tournament coming back from injury,” Voke said. Voke broke his collarbone in the summer just before returning to school. After the tournament, his future looked bright and he knew if he wanted another trophy he was go-

ing to have to put in many hours of hard work and dedication. “Nick has a passion and a belief in himself that is quite special,” Tank said. “He sets high goals for himself and then goes out there and backs it up. His scheduling and motivation, along with his calm manner are the reasons why he is the type of player that is easy to work with.” Voke, now in his junior year, added two more wins to his career total. His latest victory at the National Invitational Tournament in Arizona put him into a tie for the second most wins in ISU history. He is just one win away from sharing the top spot with Scott Fernandez. He not only moved into second for individual wins but was also able to achieve his first record by becoming the first Cyclone to shoot 7-under par in a round multiple times. “Nick is a special player to have on the team,” said assistant coach Chad Keohane. “He knows what the records are and is definitely shooting for them. He is such a pure talent that he has the vision of capturing these records and this last one shows that when he is on his game he can do great things.” With his name now forever inscribed in the history book, Voke wants to add more to his resumé. And he has two other records on his mind. “The record that I really have my eyes set on is Scott’s single season scoring record and I want to be an All-American,” he said.

Only three golfers have ever been named All-Americans in ISU men’s golf history. If Voke were to add his name to that list, he compared it to getting his face sculpted on to the proverbial Mount Rushmore of ISU men’s golf. The single-season scoring title is the one that is going to be

ahead of that pace, posting a 71.50 stroke average so far With all this about focus, determination and breaking records, it looks like golf is the only thing in Voke’s life. That would be wrong. “Nick is a pretty funny guy when he is off the course,” said junior teammate Ruben SondLindsay Johnson/Iowa State Daily

ISU junior golfer Nick Voke practices his chipping on Oct. 7, 2015, at the ISU golf facility. Voke is tied for the second most wins in ISU history and is just one win away from sharing the top spot with former ISU golfer Scott Fernandez.

Nick Voke career accolades 2014-15: Sophomore • Big 12 All-Tournament team • Ranked 137th nationally by Golfstat • Second on the team in stroke average at 72.41 2013-14: Freshman • Big 12 All-Tournament team • Broke Iowa State’s rookie scoring record with a 72.30 stroke average • Had eight sub-70-stroke rounds, which led the team High School • Ranked the sixth-best golfer in New Zealand • Finished first in the Auckland Anniversary Championship and Danny Lee Springfield Open in 2013 •Participated in 2011 Stewart Gold Cup Voke’s toughest challenge. Fernandez set the bar high, with an 71.27 stroke average back in the 2012-13 season, but Voke is just

jaja. “We have a similar sense of humor, and sometimes I even wonder if that kid has his head screwed on all the way tight.”

BASKETBALL p1 and stings.” Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield, who received his Big 12 Player of the Year award before Thursday’s game, was the biggest reason for the Sooners’ offensive success. Hield finished the game with 39 points and was the only Sooner in double-figures for the majority of the game. He made several key shots down the stretch, thwarting any comeback the Cyclones attempted. “When a scorer like that gets into a rhythm, it’s tough,” said guard Matt Thomas. “He was making shots and getting to the free-throw line. Obviously, I think I could have done more, and as a team we could have done more, but he just kind of had it going tonight.” Thomas and Monté Morris split the load guarding Hield, but neither was able to put a dent in his game. Hield finished 14-of-21 from the field, shooting 67 percent in the game. While Morris knows Hield had one of his better nights of the season, he wasn’t content with how they defended him. “We didn’t make it tough enough on him,” Morris said. “He was too comfortable out there. When a guy is that good and you give him that much rhythm with his game, can’t nobody really stop him. We should have made it a lot tougher on him at times, but we didn’t.” Late in the second half, though, Niang decided it was time to take the game into his own hands. The senior made eight straight buckets, bringing the Cyclones within four points. Niang finished the second half shooting 10-of-13 from the field, dropping 25 of his 31 points. “I just really wanted to get in and try to, you know, pierce through the defense

Buddy Hield pulls up for jump shot over George Niang. Hield scored 39 points for the Sooners in their 79-76 win against the Cyclones in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament.

and really try to get them to over-help so I could start finding shooters and making plays and doing that,” Niang said. “They gave me lanes to the rim, so I just was going to the rim and was able to finish.” ISU coach Steve Prohm compared Niang’s second half performance with Hield’s game, knowing how much the senior helped Iowa State get back into the game. “Buddy was amazing, but Georges his second-half effort was just as good,” Prohm said. “He kind of willed us back into the game. And we just couldn’t make enough plays down the stretch to finish or to push it into overtime.” The Cyclones will head back to Ames earlier than

they planned, and will now wait for Selection Sunday this Sunday to find out where they will end up in the NCAA Tournament. While it may take some time to shake the sting of an early exit from the tournament this team has won twice in a row, Prohm is confident that he can get them moving again. “I’m just disappointed about tonight because obviously these guys have won here the last two years,” Prohm said. “We have such an amazing fan base that turned out, that you just feel like you’re letting so many people down when you don’t win. But I have been in this situation before, and so we just have to get ourselves ready going forward.”

359 and Marco Rubio in third with 151. John Kasich, who has yet to win a state, has 54. Republicans need 1,237 to clinch the party nomination. On the Democratic side, despite polls showing Hillary Clinton with doubledigit leads in Michigan, Sanders was able to edge out Clinton by a few percentage points. Despite the Michigan win, Clinton easily won Mississippi with 85 percent of the vote, and a proportional delegate system in Michigan allowed Clinton to walk away with more delegates than Sanders. The updated count on the Democratic side, according to the AP, which includes superdelegates, has Clinton with 1,223 and Sanders with 574. Democrats need 2,383 to clinch the party nomination. Several important contests will take place next week, especially on the Republican side. Ohio, home to Kasich, and Florida, home to Rubio, will cast their votes. The GOP race turns to a “winner take all” system, which may allow Trump to run away with the nomination if he con-

tinues to win states. Peyton Manning calls it quits After 18 years in the National Football Leauge, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning made it official: he’s done after being one the most successful players in the sport. “There’s just something about 18 years; 18 is a good number, and today I retire from pro football,” Manning said at a press conference in Englewood, Colo. Manning, born in 1974 in New Orleans, spent most of his career playing for the Indianapolis Colts before moving to Denver. He won two Super Bowls, one with the Colts and one with the Broncos. He was the Super Bowl MVP in the Colts game. Manning was on the Colts for four AFC championships; he was a five-time NFL MVP; went to the Pro Bowl 14 times; was a seven-time FirstTeam All-Pro; won the AP’s offensive player of the year twice, led the NFL in passing touchdowns four times and passing yards three times; and is the NFL’s all-time leader in career touchdown passes, passing yards and wins.

Iowa State is set to receive a very competitive grant from the Food and Drug Administration for extension and outreach programs. The FDA came out with the Food Safety Modernization Act in 2011, which will play a role in the grant and how the money is used. The 50 new regulations from the act will help strengthen domestic and international growers. It hopes to try and prevent foodborne illnesses before they become a problem. “It’s always better to be proactive instead of reactive,” said Stephanie Hice, graduate student in food science and human nutrition. “A lot of companies have a plan for if something happens, but hopefully this grant will help put the focus on preventing outbreaks before they happen.” In addition to preventing future outbreaks, the act is also taking food production into the equation. “FSMA is aimed at

strengthening education about how to handle food safely, making sure that our oversea growers reach the U.S. standards for safety and to give detail-oriented education through extension people,” said Angela Shaw, assistant professor of food science and human nutrition. She was chosen to spearhead the program. “We are going to be a central place to make sure food grower management will get proper training.” The grant is to be used to create training resources for unrepresented growers and food manufacturers, targeting those who need assistance to come into compliance. Larger companies will have their own resources to comply with the regulations but they have to make the deadline in September. Small companies and farmers will need the assistance of the grant. However, they will have about four years to meet the requirements in order to get the money for the grant. The act called for a national center and four regional centers. The extension center at Iowa State will be the hub for the 12 states of the North Central region of the United States; including North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minne-

sota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. The grant itself is very competitive. “They called for applicants for this grant, so we assembled a team that represents the best of the region and submitted it,” Shaw said. “This is an advantage for Iowa State because it shines the spotlight on the department and the amazing programs we have here,” Hice said. “And of course, science is expensive so any advancement of low-cost method of detection is going to be beneficial to us as a society.” The farmers affected by these new regulations depend on size, which is based on the number of employees or revenue, and what they grow as well as documentation and what special training is already used. Fruit and vegetable farmers and farmers who grow grains for human and animal consumption — domestically and internationally — will be affected. Shaw has high hopes. “We’re here for people to help make a strong Iowa, fed holistically,” Shaw said. “We’re teaming up with the Land Grant Committee, so it’ll be research based. We really are just here for the people.”
