Gabriel Walsh, Speaker of the Senate, proposed creating an option for students to voice their opinions on the bill in question before each debate during the GSB meeting Wednesday.

ISU coach Fred Hoiberg, family members challenge fans to vote for healthy hearts

Karen and Eric Hoiberg, parents of ISU coach Fred Hoiberg, pose for a photo in their home. The picture Karen is holding is one of Fred from when he played in the NBA for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Fred has dealt with heart issues since he was born and almost lost his life when he was 32 years old.

ric Hoiberg emerges from the hallway with a film that is a decade old. Every time his wife, Karen Hoiberg, views it, a lump rises in her throat. “I haven’t seen this in a long time,” Karen says. “I can finally watch it without crying.” The film is entitled “Born Broken Hearted,” and it details ISU men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg’s open heart surgery, the entire Hoiberg family’s shock at the immediacy of the surgery’s necessity, and the difficult recovery that followed. It was produced for a class project by an ISU graduate student, Susie McGee (now Susie Moutray), who was studying graphic design at the time. Susie is the sister of Carol McGee, better known by her married name, Carol Hoiberg. Eric, Fred’s father and a former sociology professor at Iowa

State University, pops the film into the television perched in his and Karen’s living room. He then takes a seat on the couch next to his wife, who sits in an armchair to his right. The family’s lively dog, Eddie, bounces back and forth across the carpet, occasionally yelping at the laundry machine, which is running downstairs. Soft music plays as the title flashes across the screen. “I love the music,” Karen says quietly. Her eyes remain glued to the television. A 32-year-old Fred Hoiberg appears, and he begins to explain the condition that threatened his life. Fred was born with a bicuspid aortic valve. Aortic valves move blood from the heart to the aorta, the primary artery that then distributes the blood throughout the rest of the body. Three small flaps open and close to regulate blood flow. For those suffering from a bicuspid aortic valve, one

A family history The Hoiberg family is no stranger to heart disease. Fred’s maternal grandfather, Jerry Bush, who coached basketball at Nebraska from 1954-1963, died from heart disease. Fred’s mother, Karen, has had heart problems of her own, which requires her to use a pacemaker as well. Neither Fred’s grandfather nor his mother suffer from the same condition that afflicts him, however. Fred’s ISU family has also experienced a good deal of heart issues. ISU women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly also needs a pacemaker, and has needed one since infancy.

American heart disease facts and advocacy The pervasiveness of heart disease and its umbrella of related symptoms and conditions are collectively the number one killer of both men and women in the United States, claiming more than 610,000 lives every year,

according to the Centers for Disease Control. Heart disease and related issues account for 1 in every 4 deaths in the country annually. The American Heart Association advocates on both the

state and federal levels to push for public policy that promotes healthy hearts. Some of the organization’s endeavors include stop smoking campaigns, as well as a push for healthier school lunches nationwide.

House bill may end Gun legislation housing restrictions passes Iowa House By Eric.Wirth @iowastatedaily.com An Ames ordinance limiting occupancy in rental housing may be in its last days. The Iowa House of Representatives voted 73-23 Tuesday to pass a bill that would take away a city’s ability to restrict the number of unrelated people allowed to live in one rental property. The current Ames rental code states that only three unrelated people may live together in one rental unit in a residential low density zone. The House bill was intro-

duced by Rep. Chip Baltimore, R-Boone. Representatives Lisa Heddens, D-Ames, and Beth Wessel-Kroeschell, D-Ames, voted against the bill, while Rep. Dave Deyoe, R-Nevada, and Rep. Rob Bacon, R-Slater, supported the bill. The Senate’s State Government Committee passed its version of the bill to the Senate floor Thursday. The Senate version of the bill would call for Ames and other cities with comparable ordinances to begin granting exemptions to current occupancy restrictions for properties that can house more people.

By Montana.Crow @iowastatedaily.com A gun law passed through the Iowa House without any discussion on the floor Tuesday, changing many of Iowa’s current gun laws. If passed by the Senate and signed by Gov. Branstad, House Bill 201 would eliminate an age limit for children to use a pistol or a revolver under adult supervision. The law would also allow officials to carry firearms on school grounds if they had a professional permit to carry.

Under the new legislation, the names of those who hold permits to carry guns and purchase some weapons would will be private. As it stands now, the names of those who hold permits are public records. It also allows people to buy gun suppressors, with some government regulation, to lower the sound of a gun firing. Currently, an individual in possession of a suppressor may be charged with a Class D felony punishable by up to five

At the latest Government of the Student Body meeting, the Senate debated on an amendment that would remove the requirement for students to have the consent of the Senate to speak at meetings. The bill was tabled indefinitely by the Senate and will return at a later date for discussion. The majority of the senators did not favor the bill and believe the rule is necessary. Sen. Richard Hartnett said the rule existed for a reason. “I think it would be wrong to remove that we can’t object to a student who wants to speak,” Hartnett said. “[The rule] allows us the flexibly more towards ourselves and keep it to the business we are discussing. The point is that it’s our meeting. If we choose not to let someone speak, we can do that.” Sen. Samuel Schulte said he thinks that any student who wants to speak here should not have to ask permission. Sen. Ryan Starn said the senate chamber did not belong to the senators, but to the students. “If [students] want to come in and talk, they should have the right to,” Starn said. “I won’t vote on anything that infringes on those rights.” Sen. Erick Dietz said the Senate serves the students, but at the same time must serve as an efficient government function. Sen. Abbie Lang pointed out that as citizens, they elect congressmen, representatives and so on. “We can’t just walk in and speak freely in their meetings,” Lang said. “We need to trust them that they know what they’re doing.” Sen. Louis Reicks pointed out that a student can speak unless the majority of the Senate voted them down. “A majority of the senators would not turn a student’s vote down unless they are not being courteous to senators or other gallery members,” Reicks said. “This bill might hurt the efficiency of the senate.” Speaker Gabriel Walsh said instead of failing the bill, the Senate should amend the bill to better suit the meetings. Before Senate meetings, the GSB allows gallery members to speak to the Senate on whatever issues they want to discuss. Walsh proposed creating a period of time before each debate for students to voice the opinions they have on the bill that is in question. “If I was a gallery member, it would be a less frustrating time for me if I knew I had that time to get my two cents in,” Walsh said. “It’s a much more fair and effective system.” The motion to table the bill indefinitely was passed unanimously. GSB also passed a bill reforming the Public Relations Committee. Lang, the current public relations chair, was in full support of the bill. The bill passed after a vote on the floor.

The official International Women’s Day website defines the event as “a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future.” This year’s focus is on gender equality, women’s access to human right and the roles played by women in the development of their communities and countries.

The team that is developing the technology for snow prevention on sidewalks and roads poses for a photo next to their demonstration model. The team is led by Halil Ceylan and overseen by Robert Steffes.

ISU researchers develop snow-free pavement technologies By Zane.Satre @iowastatedaily.com Last week, a passenger jet skidded off an icy runway while landing during a snowstorm at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. The accident caused several injuries, damage to the aircraft and temporary closure of the entire airport. Incidents like these are exactly what a group of ISU researchers is hoping to prevent in the future. Dr. Halil Ceylan, associate professor of civil, construction and environmental engineering, and his team are working on technologies that can prevent any kind of pavement from becoming ice or snow-covered. “It takes maintenance crews a lot of time to clear ice and snow, and still that thin layer of ice is there,” Ceylan said. “That’s where you have black ice formations. It reduces your traction.” Ceylan and his team of 19 faculty, lab staff, and graduate students are in the midst of a three-year, $1.5 million project funded

by Iowa State and the Federal Aviation Administration. The group has developed three techniques to keep pavements clear. The first, called electrically conductive concrete, utilizes an electric current to heat the pavement and melt away ice and snow. According to graduate student Alireza Sassani, the concrete is made using a carefully prepared blend of cement and electrically conductive carbon fibers. “We can’t just simply mix them into concrete. We use a special mixing procedure and special chemicals to make [the fibers] more functional,” Sassani said. Wiring is then run through the concrete and attached to a power source. When the power is turned on, the wires heat up and begin heating the entire concrete layer. Using a small test block and an infrared thermometer, Sassani and fellow graduate student Ali Arabzadeh demonstrated how effective the system is. Within a few minutes of heating, the block’s surface soars from room tempera-

ture to 151 degrees, more than enough to melt snow. “The heating starts basically on the top,” Sassani said. “We want to heat up the surface more than the other parts.” To keep the concrete from wasting energy and getting too hot, the team will develop a system of sensors to regulate the temperature. “It’s like your thermostat in your house. You’ll be able to control it yourself,” Ceylan said. The second, similar method uses a system of pipes that circulate heated liquids, such as glycol, through the pavement. Ceylan demonstrated this by placing a test slab of concrete in a walk-in freezer. A small pump then circulates liquid through the slab, clearing it of snow despite the cold temperatures. The team’s third technology doesn’t need heat or electricity to keep pavement clear. Graduate student Therin Young demonstrates this using only water and an ordinary-appearing block of concrete divided

in half. He tilts the block’s surface and squeezes several drops of water onto each half. The water on the first half slowly dribbles down the surface, then soaks into the concrete’s pores. The drops hitting the second half quickly fly off the pavement, barely making contact with the surface. The second half, Young explains, has been sprayed with a special coating similar to those on nonstick frying pans. “We’re using Teflon powder, and in order to make it stick, we’re also using an epoxy resin,” Young said. Young sprays each ingredient on layer-by-layer. The Teflon helps the pavement repel water, while the epoxy resin keeps the coating from wearing off. According to Young, the biggest challenge is creating a durable coating for runways that can withstand heavy air traffic. “That’s going to be the biggest question. We’re going to do tests where we measure how durable the coatings on the surface are,” Young said.

Charlie Coffey/Iowa State Daily

Halil Ceylan, associate professor, explains the process of creating cement that prevents snow buildup to graduate student Therin Young.

Ceylan hopes the team can begin field testing the technologies soon, perhaps in airports like Des Moines and Minneapolis-St. Paul, before moving to smaller general aviation airports. “In regular airports, you have to buy snow plows, you have to have a garage, you have to maintain all of these vehicles,” Ceylan said. “If you implement these technologies, you can eliminate all of those things, or reduce the numbers significantly.” According to Ceylan, the savings will translate far beyond maintenance costs. “Our goal is to keep

airports open and accessible during winter weather, and to cut delays and flight cancellations as much as possible,” Ceylan said. “We’ll provide a safe working environment for airline and airport personnel, and the travelling public.” The team hopes their technologies will eventually be implemented in paved surfaces everywhere. “Our research will have a lot more impact than airports,” Ceylan said. “It will have an impact on the road infrastructure systems, bridge infrastructure systems [and] even the city sidewalks.”

Start By Believing campaign targets aftermath of assault By Jordan.Reding @iowastatedaily.com When someone tells you they’ve been raped, what will your reaction be? The Ames Police Department wants to be sure that reaction does not offend sexual assault victims. Start By Believing is a public awareness campaign focused on the public’s response to sexual assault. The campaign is a program for End Violence Against Women International organization. Because a friend or family member is typically the first person a victim talks to, that person’s reaction is extremely important,

members of Ames Police said. The Ames Police Department and members of the Story County Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) have partnered together to launch the Start By Believing Campaign in Story County. Suzy Owens and Elijah Hansen, detectives, and Brooke Long, an intern with the department, are leaders of the campaign. “We want to encourage the first contacts of a victim to be supportive. We want the victim to know they are believed and that they will have help in their healing and recovery,” Owens said. This is the first cam-

paign of its kind focused on the support of the victim, rather than preventing the actual assault. The simple step of support without judgment has a huge impact on the victim’s decision to report the crime, Owens said. This campaign is a positive asset to a very negative situation. “As soon as people hear this campaign, they get behind it,” Long said. The campaign team is making the public aware through simple presentations and social media. Student and service organizations are some of the groups they present to in order to spread the word. “The mentality of jury members and our overall

population is constantly victim-blaming, and I don’t think its fair to blame the victims for the trauma they’ve been through,” Hansen said. Students responded to the campaign in a positive way, the team said. “I think that with all the sexual assaults in the news recently, this campaign is an important resource for people on college campuses,” said Morgan Muller, freshman in agriculture business.

Dusty Jentz, junior in communication studies, said he wants to see the campaign change the public’s opinion. “It’s a start in the right direction of making the public aware of the impact their response has on sexual assault victims,” Jentz said. Only 5 percent of sexual assaults will be reported, investigated, and prosecuted. Fewer than 3 percent will result in conviction and incarceration.

If the victim’s family and friends believe and support them, they are more likely to report the assault, and stop the perpetrator from attacking again. “Sexual assault will never stop. While we ant to prevent it, we realize that it won’t go away, so let’s deal with the aftermath,” Owens said. For more information on the campaign, contact the Iowa State University Police Department or the Ames Police Department.

of those flaps is missing, which can cause the valve to malfunction. In Fred’s case, a primary side effect was an irregularly fast heartbeat— something Karen noticed from the time Fred was an infant. She informed the pediatrician, who dismissed it, and as any mother would on the advice of a trusted doctor, she uneasily dismissed it as well. “It was a mistake,” Karen says. “I often wonder what would have happened if they had done tests at that time.” She turns her attention back to the screen. Fred revisits the issue in college, as his heart takes far too long to recover from strenuous workouts, beating furiously long after an elevated heart rate should have subsided. Again he is told there is little reason for immediate concern. More than a decade later in Minneapolis, Minn., Fred attends a routine physical required to purchase life insurance for his family. A doctor finally drops the news on Fred—news he could never have been fully prepared to hear. He will need open heart surgery within the month. Fred’s condition, the severity of which was misdiagnosed by multiple physicians throughout the years, has led to the development of an aortic aneurysm, one that brings with it a number of risks, including the potential of one hard blow to the chest resulting in death. “I’ve known about [my condition] since college,” a young Fred says to the camera. “That’s something I was born with. I was told eventually that would have to be taken care of—I thought maybe into my 50s or 60s, so to find out I would have to have open heart surgery at 32 was a pretty big shock.” The shock was not Fred’s alone to bear, nor the fear. Voices from the past echo through the Hoibergs’ living room. “The first words out of his mouth were, ‘It’s not good,” Karen says in a voiceover. “And I just—I was astounded.” “It was a big blow to me,” Eric recalls on the decade-old videotape. Eric turns left in his seat to face me. “That was the scary thing,” he says. “There really were no [obvious] symptoms.” Pictures of Fred lying unconscious in a hospital bed scroll across the television. Tubes swirl around him, connected to various machines that hover over his body, monitoring his life absent compassion. His wife, Carol, is with him, holding his hand. She is the heart on the screen. The humanity. The love. Fred’s surgery is successful, despite one doctor telling him a heart transplant would have been a less complicated procedure than the one that was just performed on the 32-year-old NBA player. But Fred’s trials are only beginning. “Initially, I couldn’t do much at all,” Fred explains to the camera. “I had to get helped out of bed. I couldn’t stand up on my own.”

The grand prize for the winning coach is $100,000 for their named charity. However, every coach and charity that participated will get in on at least a piece of the philanthropic action. Every final four challenge participant will receive $15,000 for their charity. Each of the 48 initial entrants earned at least $1,000 for their selected organization. Throughout the course of the challenge, $349,000 will be donated to charities.

GUNS p1 years in prison. “This bill is multifaceted,” said Rep. Matt Windschitl, R-Missouri Valley. “It came about from enthusiastic Iowans who support gun control as well as the National Rifle Association with their expertise on how to better serve Iowans.” The legislation passed through the House to advance on to the Senate with a 75-24 vote. All Republicans voted in favor of the bill, but the majority of Democrats were against it, said Mack Shelley, professor of political science. “Republicans in general tend to be in favor of gun legislation as an individual personal right,” Shelley said. Shelley said Repub-

Karen turns to me, recalling the day her family returned with Fred from the Mayo Clinic. “He just looked horrible. His color that day,” Karen trails off. “He just looked terrible, and he felt terrible.” Karen tells me she agreed to bring Fred and Carol’s twin boys home with her after the surgery so that Carol could focus her attention on helping a weakened and feverish Fred re-acclimate. A short while later, Karen received a disconcerting phone call. “Fred,” she struggles, sighing disgustedly as the memory resurfaces. “Even to relive that call. “He was so hot, and so he told Carol he was going to go outside and see if he could cool off. When he turned to come in, he fainted. He hit his chin [on a banister] and landed, luckily not on his pacemaker, then passed out. He had actually developed fluid around his heart.” The subsequent eighthour visit to the emergency room was one of many challenges Fred and his family faced in the following months. Yet, as with many obstacles life brings, both pain and perspective arose in the aftermath. “I think what this procedure does for you, essentially this whole process, is it kind of puts your life into perspective,” Fred explains to the camera. “It makes you realize what’s important in your life. Little things you may have taken for granted now seem much more important.” The film ends. Eric ejects it. Fred’s realizations helped him come to grips with what his ordeal would cost him—his NBA career. Eric tells me that Fred was bound and determined to be the first player to play in the NBA with a pacemaker, but it is a dream that fades on the advice of a Phoenix Suns’ team physician. The chances that Fred is putting his life at risk are slim, but with a wife and four children, a slim chance is still too great. “Part of what made it so difficult was he had just come off a tremendous season,” Eric explains. “He had led the NBA in 3-point percentage and was really kind of riding high, so to come off that high and all of the sudden basically say ‘no more’—that’s hard to contend with.” “I’m sure he still thinks about it,” Karen adds. “If there was any kind of a chance that it would cause problems, there was never any doubt in his mind what he would do,” Eric continues. “He made the right decision.” The experience begin-

ning to end was a familial trauma. The shock waves were absorbed and experienced differently, but the trauma was shared. Still, the Hoibergs know how lucky they are, and how lucky many others dealing with heart disease are not. “It was just hard to come to grips with all of that,” Eric tells me. “But we also recognize and thank God we found out about it.” “So fortunate,” Karen agrees. “It could have ended a lot different than that. [When it happened] we just thought, ‘What’s next? Now we have to do this because this is our reality.” And in essence, it was that question—”What’s next?”— that has inspired Fred and his family to take up the fight against heart disease alongside the American Heart Association. They want the public to be educated to the risks and the warning signs of heart disease. They want to aid the American Heart Association in attempts at early detection and prevention. They want their friends and neighbors to avoid the pain and the fear they battled, whenever such avoidance is possible. Infiniti Coaches’ Charity Challenge Iowa State stands on the cusp of another NCAA tournament—another potential run to the Final Four. And while the Cyclones prepare for the precursor to March Madness—the Big 12 Tournament—Hoiberg has already reached a Final Four of his own. Infiniti has partnered with the NCAA, the National Association of Basketball Coaches and ESPN to promote a bracket-style charity fundraiser that spans the country. Fortyeight coaches from around the nation are entered in a fan-based voting competition to earn up to $100,000 for the approved charity of their choice. Fred is participating in the challenge for the second consecutive year, representing the American Heart Association. He explained why the charity is so near and dear to a heart that will never completely heal, as indicated by the pacemaker Fred will carry with him for the rest of his life. “I live every day with heart disease,” Hoiberg said. “I was born with heart disease. I’m a heart disease survivor—basically having five procedures on my heart and another one in the not too distant future.” The Hoibergs’ personal experience and connection to heart disease has helped boost Fred to the Final Four of the chal-

lenge with three days of voting left. Fred currently sits in a tie for first, deadlocked with Matt Painter of Purdue, who is partnered with the Smith Family Break Thru Fund. The two hold 46 percent of the vote each. The other two finalists, John Beilein of Michigan and Gregg Marshall of Wichita State have each garnered 5 percent of the vote or less. The battle for the $100,000 prize is now a two-man race—Hoiberg against Painter. The Big 12 versus the Big 10. Iowa State opposing Purdue. “It kind of speaks to the loyalty of the fan base and what kinds of positive outcomes come from that,” Eric said. “This is just one of those [things] and it rises above sports. It rises above the game, and so I think that it’s fantastic. I think it’s kind of another dimension of Cyclone magic.” Fred also has an advantage Painter doesn’t, which might provide the slight edge needed to claim the challenge crown—his mother Karen. Karen has been on Facebook daily, as has the ISU Athletic Department, pushing the vote. She’s also reached out to the ISU Alumni Association, the greek community, Cyclone Fanatic and any other campus-affiliated organization she can find. Fred’s immense popularity in the area is a crucial factor, but Karen is quick to remind people what the vote is really all about. “My message is that all of those charities are very worthy, and everybody is fighting to get that $100,000 the best way they can by spreading the word. That’s all you can really do,” Karen said. “I’ve tried to emphasize that it’s not really a vote for Fred; it’s a vote for the American Heart Association. I think no matter who wins, its a win-win situation.” Eric added a basketball analogy, saying that whoever has the ball last is likely to come out on top—a basketball family to the last. “To be here, whether we win it or not, to raise awareness for the American Heart Association has been great,” Fred said. “I thank everyone that’s voted. I hope we continue to get those votes here this last week and hopefully we do raise that money for a great charity.”

licans are in support of businesses that manufacture and sell guns. The Supreme Court recently supported the mentality that the Second Amendment is an individual right and not a collective right of all American citizens, meaning there can be some government control on who is allowed to hold a gun permit in the United States. On the Democratic side, the representatives want to protect American citizens from being accidently shot or killed and to limit the accessibility of owning and using firearms, Shelley said. “I don’t support giving a child of 14 years or younger access to weaponry,” said Rep. Ako Abdul-Samad, D-Des Moines. “Children don’t think carefully about de-

cisions and we have to be careful.” Even with the proper training and adult supervision, children do not think rationally about decisions and it would be dangerous for the children to have access to guns, Abdul-Samad said. There’s already enough violence going on in the world that we shouldn’t create more, he said. Abdul-Samad said the bill will need to be amended in order to get through the Senate. “I don’t want to violate anyone’s Second Amendment rights because I support that, but I don’t support young children having access to weapons,” Abdul-Samad said. The percentage of households with gun own-

ers are at an all-time low, according to the General Social Survey. Gun sales have spiked dramatically in recent years, but there is not an increase of citizens buying the guns. The people purchasing more guns are simply purchasing more guns, he said. A total of 31 percent of households reported having a firearm in 2014, which is the lowest level of gun ownership in the past 40 years, according to the General Social Survey. The number of individuals owning guns is also down 17 percent from the all-time high. “My colleagues and I are working toward a consensus with the Senate to advance and protect the Second Amendment,” Windschitl said.

The aughts failed to produce any influential new sounds By Michael.Glawe @iowastatedaily.com

T

races of nostalgia for the 90s is distinctly evident in my generation, ranging from the poor to the successful. By no forced admission, the past decade was truly dismal, and a break for reminiscence seems entirely understandable. The rise of terrorism and economic uncertainty has darkened our time, casting a shadow over a generation enduring the realities of adulthood. The world back then, as is always the case, didn’t seem so unoriginal, bland and dire. The innocence of adolescence truly grabs hold of the heart, and thrums the corded memories of better times where one, like the mythical Atlas, need not bear the entire weight of the world. There is something missing nowadays that was prevalent in past generations. Pinpointing the cause in attitudinal changes can be difficult and the secret ingredient that once fulfilled the preferences and tastes for previous generations is an enigma. It seems clear enough, though, that the 90s culture was similar to the rebellious nature of the 60s. Perhaps it was a failed rebellion, or, more precisely, a squandered chance. One need

only examine the culture of revolution spurred on, and epitomized, by the music of those days. The songs of the 90s contained a powerful revolutionary fervor — even if the nature and form of the revolution had little context or purpose. The music from the 90s, at times, was catchy and uplifting, a shift from the depressing music capped off by Kurt Cobain’s death. The assumed character was one of rebellion, perhaps just for the sake of rebelling — like a teenager clawing for independence. Though, the grunginess was retained in some respects, despite our loss of Cobain. The scope was broad, but the 90s culture expressed a distaste of all things “conformist,” much like the stereotypical hipsters of the 60s. Where the bands of the 90s had no purpose — their “rebellion” falling upon deaf ears — the turn of the century gave their fervor context. Take for instance Sum 41’s “Fat Lip.” released in 2001, which expresses the nonconformist tone of the 90s kids: I don’t want to waste my time Become another casualty of society I’ll never fall in line Become another victim of your conformity And back down. The creation of songs such as “Fat Lip” shows

maturity, rather than immaturity. The tone signals a change in attitude, and by their entrance into adulthood, the 90s bands had inherited the principles of the 60s bands — this time with purpose. The Flaming Lips song “The W.A.N.D” — W.A.N.D. stands for “Will Always Negates Defeat” — exemplifies this change in attitude. The song, released in 2004, is an outcry against the U.S. invasion of Iraq, which parallels the quagmire of Vietnam. The lyrics attempt to incite the same fervor of 60s, an ode possibly to the bands opposing the Vietnam War and advocating for civil rights — Credence Clearwater Revival, Bob Dylan, et cetera: They’ve got their weapons to solve all their questions; they don’t know what it’s for (Cause they don’t know what it’s for) Why can’t they see it’s not power, just greed, to just want more and more? (Just want more and more) I got a plan and it’s here in my hand but it’s all made of rights We’re the enforcers, the sorcerer’s orphans, and we know why we fight (And we know why we fight) Not only were these songs nonconformist but also politically charged — a dying freedom that has

been slowly taken away from songwriters by the music industry. There were exceptions, though. Green Day’s “American Idiot” and “Know Your Enemy” certainly advanced the same narrative while still retaining the flows of success. Many of Green Day’s lyrics played off of the thematic propagandizing of the Iraq War, such as “weapons of mass destruction.” For example: “Now everybody do the propaganda. And sing along to the age of paranoia.” Always lurking in the backdrop was the rise of feel good “mainstream music,” which is characterized by overused themes and tones, all mirrors of each other. Political artistry fell from the forefront of songwriting in exchange for the bland and numbing effect of poppy mainstream music. Perhaps the popularity of “Same Love” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, a song advocating for marriage rights, usurps this claim. It isn’t that all mainstream songs are necessarily bad, but they don’t quite measure up to the higher ideals and greatness of past music artists. While it may be true that “mainstream music” has always existed, its domination of the airwaves is more prevalent now than ever. Yet, pockets of my generation resist absorption into the redundancy, and re-

ject spoon-fed unoriginality. What happened to singing about the fight of the common man? What about truly complex and beautiful music that emphasizes all human emotions and the struggle against mortality? Musical sublime is absent from popular music nowadays — a sublime that is not reserved strictly for orchestral music. Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd created wonderfully complex and sublime music. My generation doesn’t get to experience any of that. Maybe “Royals” by Lorde is the best rejection of adherence to what types of music presently sells. Here is a song that I hope has punctured the musical inclinations of avid listeners and songwriters alike. Her nonconformist attitude stands in direct contrast to all those mainstream hucksters who ruined the “revolution” for us: “That kind of lux just ain’t for us, we crave a different kind of buzz” Music, and other forms of art, defines the soul of generations. It represents disappearing and reappearing sentiments, all rising and converging on human perfection. If we have forever lost that ideal, we have forever lost ourselves. Or maybe I’ve succumbed to the disease of nostalgia after all.

Breitbarth to focus on student issues Lecture brings controversy, stifles assault awareness The new president and vice president of the Government of Student Body were elected last week along with the new senators. Daniel Breitbarth, senior in business economics, and Megan Sweere, senior in supply chain management, were voted into the leadership positions for the upcoming year. After being elected, Breitbarth said he will approach his new position as president with the simple mentality of focusing on what the students want. In an interview with the Daily’s editorial board, Breitbarth showed he is a team-oriented leader — by concentrating on the Senate and his partner Sweere — who appreciates the wants and needs of the students who voted for him. Breitbarth said he would act on students’ needs and wants and make an effort to connect with them through student organization visits and the GSB library booth. Now that the students have a leader who will listen, it is important that students embrace the opportunity and make their

voices heard. Breitbarth specifically mentioned that he would appreciate student input on the bike share program, CyRide funding and routes and any ideas that might fill the void of events left by Veishea. “Our platform kind of goes in tandem because ... if we don’t have that student feedback, then how are we going to know what to do?” Breitbarth said. “That’s why Megan and I [are] really actively going to be encouraging outreach. With the expansion of the library booth, by going around to groups and seeing what needs they have, what needs we can meet. That’s something that we’re going to look into. “On top of that, we’ve been a part of so many groups that we know issues. We’ve identified several issues on campus pertaining to overcrowding and various other things that we know all students are concerned with. We’ve got plenty of projects to work on. There’s plenty of policy things that we can do in the short term and plenty of different changes that

we can do in the long term as well.” Breitbarth also outlined some of his shortterm goals, including reorganizing Osborne Drive this summer, policy changes about sexual assault and relying on his connections for more expertise on subjects that he might not be as well versed on. And while not all the issues facing campus and our student government can be solved right away or even in the upcoming school year, Breitbarth and his team seem to have set manageable goals that are likely to show the student body progress. GSB in its current and future form seems to be in good hands heading into a new Brietbarth era and the goals set for the immediate future should be met with optimism from the student body. The concrete plans laid out by Breitbarth indicate that many of his administration’s goals are attainable and the direction that GSB takes will be heavily influenced by student input. There could not be a clearer call to action for the student body to truly invest

in — or at least gained a heightened awareness of — GSB in the coming year. The government wants very much to serve the best interest of students, but in order for GSB to perform effectively and efficiently, all students must bring their opinions to the table.

By Maggie Fischer junior, event management Before I address the lecture that featured Katie Pavlich on Tuesday, I would first like to give my thanks to the survivors of sexual assault that spoke during the Q&A portion of the lecture. Although your questions were belittled and answered with sincere disrespect, you have my deepest respect. I understand that the ISU Lectures Program aims to bring a diverse number of lecturers to the university, but never have I been so appalled as I was by the lack of humility displayed by Ms. Pavlich. There I sat, in awe of the bravery the survivors possessed, and she quickly cut them off, disgustedly answered, rolled her eyes and gave horrific responses to their questions.

One woman spoke of her assault as a child, and Pavlich simply responded with, “Well, a parent should have been around to stop that.” And when women spoke of their sexual assault or rape done to them by acquaintances, the answer given was to kill them. Is it really that simple to you, Ms. Pavlich? Is taking a life that easy for you? I am writing this not to start any political debates. I’m not doing this to instigate hurtful, anonymous comments on this article. I am writing this because we all need to acknowledge the injustices done by Ms. Pavlich. I will not stand by when others around me, whether friends or complete strangers, are put down for having the strength to stand up and advocate for others. I sincerely hope that the Lectures Program will think twice about bringing lecturers like Ms. Pavlich to Iowa State in the future.

SOUTH McKay returns to postseason play as Cyclones attempt back-to-back Big 12 tournament titles

By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com Jameel McKay has been waiting for this opportunity for more than two years. No. 13 Iowa State has played its final home game, but it’s only a three-hour jaunt to the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.— the site of the Big 12 tournament and a home away from home for the Cyclones, dubbed “Hilton South” by ISU fans. For most of the Cyclones, the venue will be the site of a title defense, as they attempt to win backto-back conference tournament championships. For McKay, however, it will be the first opportunity to play a postseason game since 2012 — his first year at Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, Iowa. “I’m really excited,” McKay said. “I watched the run [Iowa State] made last year and just want to contribute to another run this year. It seems like the best players play the best in March, that’s how I go by it, so I’m looking forward to playing well.” McKay was forced to sit out last season due to NCAA regulations after he chose to transfer to Marquette, then quickly changed his mind, joining former NJCAA

PAST RESULTS

No. 13 Iowa State will play either Texas or Texas Tech in the first round of the Big 12 tournament, which will take place at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. The Cyclones have battled both teams twice this season. Below are the dates and results of those contests. Jan. 24- Iowa State falls to Texas Tech on the road 7873 after starting the conference season 5-1. It costs Iowa State the outright Big 12 lead, which they would not regain. Jan. 26- Iowa State defeats Texas at home 89-86, only two days after falling to Texas Tech on the road. The score is closer than the game itself, as the Cyclones extend a 21-point second half lead, before allowing the Longhorns to play their way back into contention. The game, however, is never really in jeopardy. Feb. 7- Iowa State routes Texas Tech in the rematch at Hilton, holding the Red Raiders to a meager 38-point total—the lowest total any conference opponent has mustered against Iowa State in a half century. Feb. 21- Iowa State hangs on against Texas in Austin, beating the Longhorns 85-77 to complete the season sweep. Matt Thomas re-emerges as a deep threat, connecting on 4-of-6 from downtown on his way to a teamhigh 17 points. Texas employs a “hack-a-Cyclone” strategy, attempting to close the gap late by forcing Iowa State to win at the free-throw line. The Cyclones answer the call.

teammate Dustin Hogue in Ames. That meant McKay would miss the entirety of the 2013-2014 campaign, including an absence from a second consecutive postseason. Thus, McKay was forced to enjoy Iowa State’s torrent sprint to a Big 12 tournament title first from the ISU campus, and then from the couch at his home in Milwuakee, Wis.

“It was crazy,” McKay recalled. “The excitement throughout the campus, all in Kansas City, it was just crazy. I wasn’t even there, but I felt like I was there. The support that the fans show, I just can’t wait.” McKay’s eagerness has been intensified even more by the strange circumstances that stopped he and Hogue from pursing a junior college national title in 2012. “We got into an alterca-

tion with one of our rivals,” McKay explained. “One of our players got arrested and the president [of Indian Hills] bailed him out.” The actions of Dr. Jim Lindenmayer, Indian Hills C.C.’s president at the time, were a violation of NJCAA regulations. The penalty was a postseason ban that may well have cost the school a junior college national championship, or at least a legitimate chance at one. It is a feeling McKay has not forgotten, and one he said he will use as motivation. The feeling of hoisting the tournament trophy

should provide adequate motivation for the rest of the Cyclones. “It was big. We just strung three wins down there and got great momentum going into the tournament,” said point guard Monte Morris. “A lot of guys [are] back from that team, and we know what it is and what’s at task down there in Kansas City.” ISU coach Fred Hoiberg said that winning or even making a deep run in the Big 12 tournament can potentially function as a double-edged sword. He added that if the Cyclones do repeat, they will need to

re-produce not only how well they played in the tournament, but how well they dealt with the victory in the mayhem’s aftermath. “Obviously, [your confidence] goes to a whole new level when you do win the conference tournament, but at the same time, playing three games in three nights takes a lot out of you,” Hoiberg said. “You have to get your bodies back and your focus back, which I thought our guys did a phenomenal job of last season.” Iowa State will begin their title defense at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.

Doubles duo finishes last season together By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com

Jenna Reeves/Iowa State Daily

Senior Meghan Cassens prepares to return the ball during her singles match against Oklahoma on Feb. 22. Cassens is playing in her final season with doubles partner Ana Gasparovic.

Chemistry is essential for a doubles pairing. With two and half years paired together, senior Meghan Cassens and junior Ana Gasparovic have developed a strong communication with one another and are ready to compete during the Big 12 season. After a couple seasons together, the trust has been built and has led to important wins for the team, as well as themselves. This trust was hard to build in the beginning because of a tough transition for Gasparovic. “It was tough playing doubles in general because I never played with a partner in high school,” Gasparovic said. “I was also intimidated by Meghan because she was a sophomore and had more experience.” Gasparovic said she didn’t come to the team until the start of the regular season in the spring. She wasn’t able to connect with many of the players because there wasn’t as much down time during the regular season. With Gasparovic in mind, coach Armando Espinosa thought it would be best to pair Cassens and Gasparovic together for the season because they had a couple more years to get comfortable with one another. “In doubles, it’s all about finding that balance,” Espinosa said. “Meghan and Ana had strengths and weaknesses that balanced each other to create a solid pairing.”

In the beginning, Gasparovic made sure to figure out the strengths and weaknesses with each other, so they could be more dominant on the court. “Meghan is a fighter when it comes to any match on the court,” Gasparovic said. “I’ll never forget her screaming after missing a point, but she’s still winning her match.” Cassens said she noticed the exact opposite in Gasparovic’s game and this led to a great pairing where both of their personalities balanced each other out. “Ana is very level headed, which is nice to have the court to calm you down,” Cassens said. “Even when we’re down, there’s always an upside and chances to win with Ana.” Trust and chemistry is needed to be comfortable on the court and accomplish the task of winning every match. For Cassens and Gasparovic, the trust developed substantially once they became friends and learned more about each other. After the first spring season, the friendship grew and this led to some important wins for the team and as individuals. The biggest win came against Oklahoma on April 6, 2014 during their first full year together. “Everything went perfect in that [Oklahoma] match,” Cassens said. “This was the point where we figured out our playing styles, which created this great doubles pairing.” Cassens and Gasparovic defeated a ranked Oklahoma doubles pairing 8-5 and that win built their

confidence and made them realize how dominant they could be as a pairing. With Cassens facing her senior year and Gasparovic returning from her wrist injury, Cassens said she is excited to have Gasparovic back to compete in the Big 12 and make these two couple months memorable. On the other hand, Gasparovic said she doesn’t want Cassens to leave after this year because she’ll need a new doubles partner for next year. “It’s going to be difficult to transition into a brand new partner after being with Meghan [Cassens] for the last two and half years,” Gasparovic said. “I just hope that I’m paired with someone that develops the same chemistry I had with Meghan [Cassens].” Espinosa said he’s not looking ahead to next year, especially with the Big 12 matches coming up this week. But he’s not worried about the pairings. “It’ll figure itself out,” Espinosa said. “We’ll be losing three key players next year, but hopefully we have the talent to fill their shoes for next season.” As for the Cassens and Gasparovic pairing, the era will soon end, but Espinosa said that he’ll always remember their success and commitment to the game of tennis. “I’m not thinking about the end of the season right now,” Cassens said. “I’m still focused on winning some Big 12 matches and hopefully a Big 12 title.”

Sigma Alpha Iota, a fraternity of 21 women passionate about leadership and music, will host its fourth annual benefit concert to raise money for the fraternity philanthropy headquarters. The performance will take place at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall.

Fraternity will host its fourth annual benefit performance By Lani.Tons @iowastatedaily.com Sigma Alpha Iota will host its fourth annual spring benefit concert in the Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall at 7:30pm Thursday. Sigma Alpha Iota is a fraternal organization that promotes leadership and a passion for music at Iowa State. The 21 members are required to take a music class in order to be considered. As a member for three years, Felicia Kraus, senior in music, is excited for the performance. “We try and preform music by female, American composers to help fulfill our national objectives,” Kraus said. At the concert, the members perform their talents as instrumentalists and vocalists with the goal to raise money for their philanthropy. “The purpose of this concert is to raise mon-

ey for the fraternity philanthropy headquarters, Sigma Alpha Iota Philanthropies Inc.,” Kraus said. “This is our organization’s philanthropy that we support by doing fundraisers throughout the year.” Jillian Burdick, senior in music, is on the philanthropy committee for SAI. “This year we will be featuring two marimba players, a saxophonist, vocalists, flutists and a bassoon quartet. Most of the performers are members of our chapter,” Burdick said. The concert includes performances from fraternity members as well as the department faculty. “The mission of Sigma Alpha Iota Philanthropies, Inc. is to support the educational and charitable goals of Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity through philanthropic endeavors,” Burdick said. The fraternity is involved in fundraisers and continues to promote its

outreach projects. “Some of these projects include The American Composer’s Bureau, The MacDowell Colony, Music Therapy, Services for Musicians with Special Needs, and Scholarships, Grants and Awards,” Burdick said. Events such as the spring benefit concert are not the only time the fraternity gets to give back and stay involved. The fraternity hosts fundraisers throughout the year, completing its national objectives. “Being a part of this fraternity has brought me some of my most memorable moments of collage, while giving me great leadership opportunities. It gives me extra motivation,” Kraus said. Students and audience members can expect a variety of music. “There will be music from Bach to 20th century composers. It will be about an hour long,” Burdick said. The performances will

provide different time eras as well. “I think people can expect to experience the classical side of American classical music. The American part of classical music often gets overlooked as our music was slightly behind the musical development of Europe,” Kraus said. In the organization, the women are able to display their love and talent for music, but also learn strategies to host events, such as their benefit concert. “Members of our chapter set up the reception during the concert, make sure people are admitted, count donations, stage manage or attend. I’ve learned how to prepare and host events and how to be more organized,” Burdick said. The fraternity asks for an admission donation of $5.

With six Grammy awards and more than five decades of bringing traditional Irish music to the world’s attention, The Chieftains with Paddy Moloney will perform in Ames at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Stephens Auditorium. Formed in 1962 by Moloney, The Chieftains began playing for purely a folk audience before the range and variation of their music rapidly captivated an expanded audience and made them the best known Irish band in the world. By pushing boundaries and collaborating with bands of various music genres, The Chieftains have been involved in historic events such as the first Western group to perform on the Great Wall of China, the first group to give a concert in the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., and perform for both Pope John Paul II and Queen Elizabeth II. Moloney also performed at a Ground Zero memorial service in New York for the victims of 9/11 in October 2001. Recently celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2012, The Chieftains have collaborated with countless music stars, including Madonna, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Doc Watson and Luciano Pavarotti. The Chieftains have been honored in their own

THERE’S A

country by being officially named Ireland’s Musical Ambassadors and are loyal to their Irish roots playing spontaneous Irish sessions or headlining a massive concert audience for their countless fans. The Chieftains members include Moloney, uilleann pipes/tin whistle; Matt Molloy, flute; Kevin Conneff, bodhran/vocals; Jon Pilatzke, harp/dance; Triona Marshall, harp/ keys; Cara Butler, dance; Tim Edey, guitar; Alyth McCormack, vocals/dance; Martin Murray, banjo/ mandolin; and Tara Breen, fiddle/saxophone. Local Irish storyteller Maureen Korte will be featured in the show’s Celebrity Café Preview 30 minutes prior to the show and will present insights about Celtic music. Korte’s preview is free and open to all ticket holders and will take place on the north side ground floor of Stephens Auditorium. Tickets for The Chieftains with Paddy Moloney are $26 for ISU students and additionally range among $20, $30, $40 and $49. Tickets are available for purchase on Ticketmaster and can also be purchased between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Stephens Auditorium ticket office. For more information, visit the Iowa State Center’s Web Page and The Chieftains’ website.

HAS YOUR CORN FARM

LOST MONEY? Despite China’s refusal to approve Syngenta’s GMO seed, Syngenta continued to sell its seed to U.S. corn farmers. When China banned U.S. corn imports, the price of corn fell dramatically, and corn farmers across the country lost BILLIONS of dollars.

We represent individual farmers. Our team represented over 2000 individual farmers in the Rice GMO claim. We opposed the class action and secured more for the farmers we represented. Our group of lawyers will continue meeting with farmers with respect to each farmer’s individual Syngenta claim.
