U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, will face four Democrats in the Senate race.

Dems to focus on SCOTUS nominee in Senate race By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Iowa’s U.S. Senate race — once an easy win for Chuck Grassley — may now be a referendum on the national fight over a Supreme Court nominee. And Grassley, chairman of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee, has to deal with four Democrats who want his seat in Washington and are making Senate Republicans’ plan to not hold hearings on the SCOTUS nominee a central part of their campaign. Grassley is in a unique position: while other Senate campaigns with vulnerable Republicans across the country will likely have discussions about the Supreme Court, Grassley himself has the power to hold hearings for Merrick Garland, a federal judge chosen by President Barack Obama to replace Antonin Scalia. While Grassley cannot schedule a floor vote to ultimately confirm Garland, Grassley and Senate Republicans have worked together to come up with a strategy — instead of holding hearings, saying Americans should “have a voice” by electing a new president who nominates a replacement. “This is a huge issue,” said Steffen Schmidt, university professor of political science. “It will excite voters in both parties. I think this is what could unify the voters in each party because it is such an important and longterm issue.” Schmidt also said the fight could have implications in the 2016 race, including voters coalescing around whoever is nominated on the GOP side — even while party insiders look to deny front-runner Trump the nomination — just to stop Democrats from winning the White House. Grassley, on the other hand, said with votes already cast for the next election and the implications of a justice nominated by a Democrat, hearings and confirmation should wait. “A lifetime appointment that could dramatically impact individual freedoms and change the direction of the court for at least a generation is too important to get bogged down in politics,” Grassley said in a statement last week. “The American people shouldn’t be denied a voice. Do we want a court that interprets the law, or do we want a court that acts as an unelected super legislature? This year is a tremendous opportunity for our country to have a sincere and honest debate about the role of the Supreme Court in our constitutional system of government.” Back in Iowa, the inaction from Grassley caught the eye of former Lt. Gov. Patty Judge, who late last month expressed interest in run-

Cyclones confident they can advance past Sweet 16 By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com DENVER — Two years ago, former ISU coach Fred Hoiberg and the ISU men’s basketball team punched their ticket to the Sweet 16. But there was a piece missing: Georges Niang. Niang, a sophomore at the time, suffered a fracture in his right foot in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament, sidelining him for the season. The Cyclones went on to fall in the Sweet 16 to UConn, which went on to win the NCAA Tournament that year. That trip to the Sweet 16 doesn’t count, though. At least not in Niang’s mind. “I was joking with Naz [before the game, and he said], ‘you didn’t earn the last Sweet 16 you were in,’” Niang said. “[After the game] I made sure to tell him I earned this one.” Niang led No. 4-seeded Iowa State to a 78-61 win against No. 12-seeded Little Rock on Saturday at the Pepsi Center in Denver, giving the Cyclones their second Sweet 16 berth in the past three years. “I said ‘stay the course’ a lot,” Prohm said. “A lot of people laughed [and] didn’t think that really would work. The character in the locker room is really, really good. I can’t be happier for our guys.” -This season was nothing short of a rollercoaster. The Cyclones were ranked in the top-10 nationally before the season started. Things started out smoothly. Prohm seemed to be a good fit after following in Hoiberg’s footsteps. All was well and expectations remained extremely high. Then things turned south. The

Blood drive returns to save lives By Mollie.Shultz @iowastatedaily.com Members of Iowa State Blood Drive committees believe the opportunity to save not only one life, but potentially three lives, should be incentive enough to donate blood. The Iowa State Blood Drive will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. It is open to ISU students, faculty and members of the Ames community. This semester’s theme for the blood drive is Blood Drive Bootcamp.

Iowa candidates prepare for federal, state legislature races By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Now that the presidential election is long gone in Iowa, political eyes are on several federal and state races in Iowa ahead of the June 7 primary. This year, 249 candidates filed the necessary paperwork to get on the ballot in either federal races or state legislature races, according to documents made available Friday from the Iowa Secretary of State. Iowa’s U.S. Senate race — once thought as an easy shoe-in for longtime Sen. Chuck Grassley — now has the attention of national Democrats during the fight over a Supreme Court nominee. Iowa House races promise to be interesting as well, with tossup races in Iowa’s 1st and 3rd

districts, and conservative firebrand Steve King getting a primary challenge from a Sioux City state

senator. Here are the candidates who have filed to be on the ballot and what to watch for in each race: Iowa’s U.S. Senate race Incumbent: Chuck Grassley, RNew Hartford. A staple in Iowa Republican politics, Grassley has easily won re-election to the Senate six times, but national Democrats are now targeting the seat because of Grassley’s powerful position on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is charged with holding hearings for the Supreme Court nomination of Merrick Garland — President Barack Obama’s pick to replace the late-Antonin Scalia. Challengers: Four Democrats are fighting to get on the November ballot against Grassley, most notably former Lt. Gov. Patty Judge, or “The Judge Grassley Can’t Ignore.”

Judge, who served alongside former Gov. Chet Culver and as Iowa’s first female agriculture secretary, looks to have the backing of national Democrats, as evident with a trip to Washington D.C. just days after announcing her intentions. Speaking to reporters on a conference call last week, Judge tried to tie Grassley to Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, saying Grassley does not need permission from the billionaire businessman leading the party’s nomination fight while also stirring controversy. “I’m well aware of Chuck Grassley’s opposition to hearings, but I strongly urge him to reconsider this position,” Judge added. “He is the only person in Washington with the power to make hearings happen. For 35 years he has waited

to become the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Now that he has the job he also has the power that comes with it. That power includes scheduling a hearing for Judge Garland.” State Sen. Rob Hogg, D-Cedar Rapids, is also on the Democratic ballot. Along with making the Supreme Court fight a campaign issue, Hogg has been campaigning across the state declaring that Iowa deserves better than dysfunction in the nation’s capital. Also on the ballot: Former state Sen. Tom Fiegen, D-Clarence, a bankruptcy attorney and outspoken supporter of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Former state Rep. Bob Krause, D-Fairfield, who also ran in the 2010 Democratic primary,

A lecture set for Monday night at Iowa State will focus on the diversity of world languages, information about them and how they came to be. Asya Pereltsvaig, lecturer in the department of linguistics at Stanford University, will present the Quentin Johnson Lecture in Linguistics at 8 p.m. Monday in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union. With more than 7,000 languages in the world, the lecture will focus on how that many languages and

variety of them developed. Other questions the lecture will discuss include: “How do languages evolve, and why do some of them disappear, often without a trace?; How can languages spoken today be mined for information about deep human past?; What do all human languages have in common and how can we capture the ways in which they differ?; And why don’t we all speak the same language?” Pereltsvaig received her Ph.D. in linguistics from McGill University in Montreal and has taught at Yale, Cornell and Stanford, as well as at several European

universities. Her areas of specialization include Slavic languages, syntax and typology and historical linguistics. Her general academic interests include languages, history and genetics, and the relationship between them, according the Lectures website. Pereltsvaig also co-authored a book titled “Languages of the World: An Introduction and The Indo-European Controversy: Facts and Fallacies in Historical Linguistics.” The lecture is sponsored by the Linguistics Program at Iowa State and the Committee on Lectures.

David Jiles will leave Iowa State this summer for Washington, D.C.

Jiles steps down from ISU position By Andria.Homewood @iowastatedaily.com David Jiles is stepping down as the electrical and computer engineering department chair this summer after being accepted into the Jefferson Science Fellowship in Washington, D.C. He will be “establishing a new model for engaging the American academic science, technology, engineering and medical communities in the formulation and implementation of U.S. foreign policy,” according to the Jefferson Science Fellowship website. Jiles was hired as a member of the ISU faculty in 1984 and left in 2005 to teach at Cardiff University as a professor of magnetics until 2010, when he returned to Iowa State to be the department chair of electrical and computer engineering. Jiles was named the Anston Marson Distinguished Professor of Engineering as well as the Palmer Endowed Department Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering, according to his online biography. Jiles believes his success is because Iowa State is such a great place. “I am very proud of Iowa State,” Jiles said. “If you put the right person in the right environment, they will do well.” This success is evident in all of the accomplishments he’s made during his time at Iowa State. Jiles said he had the vision to “increase the research profile” of the department, which he said he believes they achieved with the “great facility” the department has. He wrote three books at Iowa State that are currently used for classes taught in the department. He also spoke fondly of his Ph.D students. “You cannot succeed in this game without great students,” Jiles said. “It’s impossible.” The success is clearly evident in the doctor’s acceptance into this government program. Jiles will be in Washington D.C. for 12 months but will remain on the ISU faculty. He will return in August 2017. “This is going to give me the opportunity to do something different … to see how science and technology can be used to influence foreign policy,” Jiles said. The Jiles family seems to have left a legacy at Iowa State, with three of Jiles’ four children now fellow Cyclones. Jiles’ wife, who is a computer system analyst at Iowa State, will join Jiles in Washington D.C.

As the semester winds down, the downtown Ames Farmer’s Market is gearing up. The market, located on the 300 and 400 blocks of Main Street, will take place every Saturday morning from May 7 to Oct. 15. While many anticipate the market opening for homegrown fruits and vegetables, handmade goods and live bands, not everyone in Ames is excited for the 24-week span of crowded streets and inconvenient parking. Rick Swank, owner of Swank’s Jewelry at 319 Main St., brought a petition to City Council this winter asking that the market be moved off of Main Street. “I’ve talked to a lot of people who cannot understand why it’s [on Main Street],” Swank said. After hearing complaints from his customers that they could not find parking within a few blocks of his store during Farmer’s Market Saturdays, Swank said he began researching the impact the parking and traffic congestion of the market was having on his business. “People kept coming in saying ‘why do you put up with this?’” Swank said. Swank discovered he was losing a “big amount of money” during Farmer’s Market season, though he declined to give an exact figure. He said he discussed his concerns with Councilman Tim Gartin before deciding to start a petition. “If I can get (customers) in here, then it’s my job to sell them,” Swank said. “I can’t market something if nobody can get here.” According to Swank, his petition gathered 170 signatures, including those of 17 downtown business owners. He said at least six other business owners told him privately they did not support the market’s current location, but they did not want to come forward with an opinion they felt would be unpopular among their customers. Swank’s concerns were of no surprise to market organizers, said Lojean Petersen, Farmer’s Market manager. She said the city was aware there had been concerns since the market was first moved to Main Street in 2011, but this year was the first time anyone had made a formal written complaint. The complaint, though not a surprise, was confusing to Petersen, who said that the Chamber of Commerce’s surveys have consistently shown overwhelming support for the market among Main Street businesses. “We have an 87 percent approval rating,” Petersen said. The survey asked 55 downtown businesses on the 200-400 blocks their opinion on the location of the market; 48 supported it, six were against it, and one was indifferent. Andrea Gronau, manager of Worldly Goods and a member of the Main Street Cultural District,

is one of the 87 percent who supports the Farmer’s Market. “I take advantage of putting things out on the street during market time,” Gronau said. She said Worldly Goods will put baskets on the sidewalk that passersby can purchase to carry their fresh produce from the market. For Gronau, the issue of finding parking downtown on a Saturday morning is a good sign. “How exciting it is that we’re having this issue,” Gronau said, a busy downtown is a sign of a “vital downtown.” Busy indeed, according to Petersen, the market brings around 72,000 people downtown over the course of the 24-week season. The number does not describe unique visitors, but rather a total of visitors at all markets. “It’s become a destination,” Petersen said. Petersen said the number was calculated by volunteers, many from the ISU Greek community, who attended three markets throughout the season and counted every person entering the market at each of three access points. The average market attendance is around 2,500 people per Saturday, with more than 3,000 in attendance during the peak of the season, Petersen said. Swank said he thought the number was “totally exaggerated.” Despite other businesses’ claims that they experienced a lot of traffic during the market, Swank said he rarely got any new customers to wander in. Tara Hannusch, owner of Grey Elephant, said it isn’t uncommon for her clothing store to be empty until after 2 p.m. on market days. She said the market makes business difficult, especially during football season when fans can’t get downtown before kickoff, but she said she was “indifferent” about the location. Aaron Millard, an employee at Downtown Deli, had similar frustrations. He said the market

made business slow on Saturdays and made parking difficult for potential customers, but he said he could see how non-food businesses would benefit from the increased foot traffic. Ultimately, he said, the parking issues on market Saturdays could happen on a busy Saturday anyway, regardless of the market. Ali Cakes owner Ali Kenealy said she looks forward to her first Farmer’s Market as a business owner on Main Street. “I love the Farmer’s Market anyway,” Kenealy said. “Now it’s right outside my front door.” Kenealy said she has already started brainstorming ways to draw customers in to her store by opening earlier in the morning and offering samples. Several other business owners on Main Street said during a City Council public forum March 1 and during interviews with The Daily that they had planned on altering hours, offering free samples or creating sidewalk displays to cater to the Farmer’s Market crowd. The public support for the market at the council meeting March 1 was mostly positive, and the council voted unanimously to approve the market’s 2016 location for Main Street. “Personally, I just can’t imagine it being moved anywhere else because it would be a negative to move it off of Main Street rather than a positive compromise in this case,” Gronau said. “I would rather help and support the businesses who are expressing concern than to move the Farmer’s Market.” As a member of the Main Street Cultural District, Gronau said she has reached out to the affected businesses to offer marketing help during the Farmer’s Market. “There is a community down here [on Main Street], it’s like a family,” Gronau said. “We just want everyone to get along.” Swank proposed several com-

promises for the market in a letter accompanying his petition to the City Council. Though none of the compromises were enacted for the 2016 season, the council said they would consider changes in the future. Swank said he would be happier with a number of different adjustments, including moving the market either a block north or south—to Fifth Street or the parking area between Main Street and the railroad—shortening the market season, or moving the market to a different day of the week. Petersen said she attended several Farmer’s Markets in central Iowa, including the Des Moines Farmer’s Market, voted secondbest market in America in 2014 by The Daily Meal, to research possible alternatives. One solution she considered would be arranging the market so the vendors face the businesses, drawing traffic to the sidewalks and closer to business doors. However, Petersen said she was concerned about the tripping potential posed by placing vendors along the curb. As for moving the market to another day of the week, Petersen said she had concerns about the impact that could have on visitors and vendors alike. “Sunday is a day off,” Petersen said. “Even for vendors, they work hard during the week; I think they need a day off too.” She said a weekday evening market would be a possibility, though vendors have told her they feel evening markets are not as well-attended. While no one has the answers, no one seems to be giving up. Swank said he has considered offering Saturday Farmer’s Market specials on his merchandise or altering his hours to be open later during the week and closing on Saturdays altogether. Still, he said he’s glad he

ISU student assists in fight for Flint By Zach.Clemens @iowastatedaily.com When Bria Nelson saw that there was not much discussion or concern on Iowa State’s campus regarding the water crisis in Flint, Mich., she knew something had to be done. In May of 2014, government officials from Flint switched its water supply from the Detroit line to the Flint River as a cost-cutting

measure. Since then, the residents of Flint have seen serious health problems because of high concentration of lead in the water that remains undrinkable today. On Feb. 12, Nelson, senior in marketing and a Student Government senator, decided to start a GoFundMe page to help in Flint. “I feel like nobody was even talking about [the Flint water crisis] on Iowa

State’s campus,” Nelson said. “It was not as big an issue as should have been.” All of the donations will go the Genesee County United Way (GCUW) in Michigan.

BASKETBALL p1 Cyclones lost a few games and dropped quickly in the rankings. Suddenly, the high hopes that fans had for the season started to dwindle. Fans were upset and expressed it online. Prohm and many of the players started receiving hate messages on social media, even causing Prohm to delete his Twitter and Facebook apps from his phones. But Prohm didn’t change his plan. And now that they’ve survived the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament, he couldn’t be happier. “I just can’t say how proud I am because we could have divided so many times with the pressure that these kids have had on them all season long and they wouldn’t do it,” Prohm said. “They wouldn’t waiver.” The process, though, wasn’t simple.

“It wasn’t easy,” Niang said. “There were times when I was like, ‘Dang, man, this is the toughest thing we’ve ever had to do.’ But guys kept plugging, kept pushing through.” Even at the end of the season, things hadn’t quite turned around. The Cyclones lost seven of their last 12 games before the NCAA Tournament, causing many to doubt how they would do in the ‘Big Dance.’ Niang, though, wasn’t ready to give up on the season. None of them were. And the biggest reason for that, Niang said, was Prohm. “As the season went on … you started to see his vision, and you could start to relate,” Niang said. “When you can relate to someone, that just makes you want to play that much harder for them. Coach is out there coaching his tail off. He’s been a great fit for us and truly a blessing.” Niang’s time with Prohm

was short lived. They met for the first time last June, and Niang will graduate in the spring. But even in the short time that the two have spent with each other, Niang said his experience with Prohm has changed him. “This guy just wants nothing but for us to have the most success,” Niang said. “He doesn’t want any thank-yous or anything like that. He’s just out there because he loves the game of basketball and loves coaching. “Not only is he coaching us to be great players, but great men. I can honestly say, I feel like it’s cliché and I’m repeating what Marcus Paige said, but he’s made me a better man since he’s stepped on campus.” -Iowa State will head to Chicago next weekend to take on No. 1 seed Virginia on Friday.

nament, Prohm said he doesn’t want this to be the team’s peak. While they should celebrate the win, Prohm wants to make sure they keep things in perspective. “I just don’t want this to be the highest moment in their life,” Prohm said. “It’s a special moment. I want them to enjoy it. But man I hope there are bigger things out there for them just in life, and in basketball, too.” Center Jameel McKay said he feels the same way. He said he knows they still have more left in them. And with Virginia up next, he’s ready to prove it. “I’m happy we’re going to Chicago, but I want to see something else,” McKay said. “We’ve been to the Sweet 16 … I think we’re better than the Sweet 16, to be truthfully honest.

Columnist Heckle argues that the new church training document French Monsignor Tony Anatrella, pictured above, created for newly ordained bishops makes it the responsibility of victims of sexual assault or the victims’ families to report any allegations.

Catholic Immorality The Church doesn’t care about victims of sexual assault By Michael.Heckle @iowastatedaily.com

ecent comments by high-ranking officials of the Catholic Church have painted a terrifying picture of the attitudes and policies the church holds toward the most atrocious actions committed by its own clergy: the sexual abuse of children. While allegations of sexual assaults have plagued the church since the 1970s, that Vatican has done little to discipline those responsible. In a recent report published by the Catholic news site Cruxnow.com, new Catholic bishops are being told they are neither legally nor morally obligated to report sexual abuse by clergy to the proper authorities. A new church training document for newly ordained bishops created by French Monsignor Tony Anatrella, a consultant for the Pontifical Council for the Family and the Pontifical Council for Health Care Workers, states, “According to the state of civil laws of each country where reporting is obligatory, it is not necessarily the duty of the bishop to report suspects to authorities, the police or state prosecutors in the moment when they are made aware of crimes or sinful deeds.” Rather, Anatrella makes it a responsibility of victims and families of victims to report any allegations

of sexual abuse. While sources in the Vatican say that these comments are purely Anatrella’s personal opinion, the church has not released any documentation criticizing or clarifying his statements. Complicating the situation further are fears that reports of sexual abuse in countries with more hostile attitudes toward the church will make a fair trial nearly impossible, especially in the case of false accusations. However, the amount of allegations considered to be baseless or untrue are dwarfed by the numerous claims that have been proven to be true. Furthermore, reports by the Vatican exclude cases from 2003 — for no apparent reason — and do not give the qualifications from deeming a report not credible. It’s ironic that an organization has a nomenclature that means “universal” but is so divided on such a morally apparent issue. For a church that claims to be a moral superiority and an example to the world, it has done little to show care or compassion for its most vulnerable and victimized members. The treatment of these victims as a sort of adversary of the church and the cover-ups conducted by highranking members of the church only go to show that the Catholic Church cares little for the children who have been destroyed by the immoral actions of sexually repressed representatives of their own organization. Even more disturbing are comments made by Pope Francis in September of 2015. In an address to Washington D.C., the pontiff praised Catholic bishops for their “generous commitment to bring healing to vic-

tims” and their courage in facing “difficult moments in the recent history of the church in this country without fear of self-criticism and at the cost of mortification and great sacrifice.” These comments were panned by victim groups at the time that believed the pope’s comments were “insulting and hurtful.” Furthermore, Barbra Blane, president of Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP), criticized the pope for his unwillingness to take any sort of action. “His remarks today confirm what we’ve long said and suspected: this pope, like his predecessors, is doing and will do little if anything to bring real reform to this continuing crisis,” Blane said in a statement released shortly after the pope’s comments. “Those who care about kids must focus on secular authorities, not church figures (however popular they may be).” It is my personal hope that with these new comments made by the pope and Anatrella, along with the popularity of the award-winning film ”Spotlight,” which chronicles the sex abuse scandals of 2002, that the world will begin to hold the church to the moral responsibility it so vehemently preaches. The inaction and unwillingness to help victims receive redemption for their hardships is an insult to justice and to the idea of personal responsibility. Any sort of monster who would disgrace a child in such away should face swift and direct punishment no matter their religious affiliation. The attitudes toward the church in defending those who engage in sexual abuse displays just how laughable the idea of Catholic morality is.

Feminist voices must expand By Maddy.Beiwel @iowastatedaily.com Feminism means many different things to many different people. To some, it is the equality of the sexes. To others, it is an attempt to invalidate and discredit men. But it could also represent an unnecessary movement that does nothing for women while still representing them in a negative light. People follow and discredit feminism for so many reasons that could be linked to the fact that there are many kinds of feminists. One of the reasons feminism is so commonplace today is because many female celebrities call themselves feminists. While many men have supported equal treatment and opportunities for both sexes, I would argue that women who label themselves as feminists are a little more controversial. Amy Poehler, Ellen Page and Beyoncé are all outspoken feminists and they have all received some sort of retribution for it. Beyoncé, in particular, was called out for giving an inaccurate depiction of feminism in her 2014 MTV Video Music Award when she stood in front of giant bright letters that read “Feminist.” While many were glad she was working to make feminism more mainstream and help

make it acceptable to align with the movement, others found her declarations of independence and inspiration were lacking. They claimed that perhaps the fact that she dances provocatively and has a song called “Bow Down Bitches” sends a different message. While I disagree and think people can be sexual while still maintaining their femininity and agency without degrading themselves, I understand the point that is being made. Beyoncé and other female celebrities are high profile, and by attaching themselves to the label of feminists they unwittingly become the face of the movement. When we think of feminism they may jump to our minds. While it is good to have role models and inspirations in high places, especially involved in a topic so varied and marred in confusion and controversial as feminism, it is sometimes a problem to use celebrities as our sole connection to the movement because they are fallible. All people are. We can’t look at female celebrities, who are doing multiple things such as touring and promoting their image, and expect them to be the perfect representation of what a feminist is. They will fall short of our expectations through their differing values. Feminism is complicated and

Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato have all become faces of the feminist movement, but columnist Beiwel believes the movement needs more than just celebrity role models.

multifaceted. No woman (or man) can encapsulate all of it. They’re singers, actresses and entertainers, not scholars. While embracing feminism and working to educate others on it is admirable, they can not be our only source of information or inspiration. Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift show this as well. Demi Lovato showed support for Ke$ha, who was seeking to get out of her contract with Dr. Luke, who Ke$ha alleges raped her. Lovato tweeted encouragement to Ke$ha while also seemingly calling out others for their lack of support. “I’m also ready for selfproclaimed feminists to start speaking out or taking action for women’s rights,” Lovato tweeted. “...Woman empowerment is taking action now, not when it’s convenient.” Some people took this as a

direct call to Swift, and people rushed to defend both sides. Swift later gave Ke$ha $250,00 toward her legal fees. Perhaps in response, Lovato tweeted, “Take something to Capitol Hill or actually speak out about something and then I’ll be impressed.” This difference between two forms of assistance — vocal and monetary — has led some to speculate which of the two is the more of a feminist. The one who spoke or the one who reached out? I don’t think it matters. They both assisted in the way they could and attempting to discredit the other only muddies the water further than it already is. We can’t expect either party to be perfect or blameless, just as we can’t expect any entertainer or celebrity to stand up and be our only connection to feminism.

Trump protests show need for change Protesters of presidential candidate Donald Trump blocked a major Arizona roadway that led to a nearby suburb where Trump was hosting a rally. Between 50-75 protesters blocked the road with cars and their bodies, causing traffic delays in the area, according to a New York Times article. Three people were arrested during the protest, while others faced “USA” chants from supporters, according to the article. The Arizona roadway incident is not the only major clash among Trump protesters, supporters and police in recent days. During his second rally in Arizona on Saturday, multiple protesters were escorted out for causing disruptions while one was even punched and kicked by another person in the crowd, according to the New York Times. Trump’s campaign manager, along with a security member, grabbed a collar of a protester at the same rally just weeks after the manager was said to have grabbed a reporter. Additionally, Trump protesters in New York City marched to Trump Tower and pushed against police before being pepper sprayed. The New York Times reported that at least two protesters were put in handcuffs while others chose not to enter a designated protest zone. It seems as this country gets further into campaign season and closer to choosing each party’s nominees, the more heated interactions between Trump protesters, supporters and police get. While it is a shame someone who could become the president of the United States inspires so much turmoil, the responses of these groups are encouraging — showing activism, use of free speech and passion in the political process — and morally wrong because of the violence and arrests. First, the sheer number of Trump protesters and supporters who have embraced the political process and used their First Amendment rights by speaking out and protesting or hosting rallies is encouraging — especially with recent poor voter turnout in our country. The United States’ voter turnout in 2012 was almost 54 percent, which is much lower than other developed countries such as Belgium, Turkey and Sweden, which are all above 80 percent, according to the Pew Research Center. Perhaps the pre-election activity this year will encourage voter participation in November. However, the way these protesters and supporters are going about participating in politics and voicing their opinions has not been the morally correct or lawful way to go about it. These numerous run-ins with police or instances of violence from all sides shows a disrespect for our system and will not lead to progress. With a candidate like Trump, who tends to be so polarizing, isn’t it essential that we have the most passionate but productive conversations possible about our country’s future?

Cotton-Moya helps anchor ISU defense By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com The ISU football team underwent myriad changes in the offseason: a mostly new offensive line, new incoming players and a new coach. The main part that hasn’t changed is redshirt junior safety Kamari Cotton-Moya and his leadership across the defensive side of the football. Cotton-Moya is entering his fourth year as an ISU player, and ISU coach Matt Campbell is relying on Cotton-Moya’s focus and determination to lead the defensive players. The main concern for Cotton-Moya is staying healthy for the entire season and that will be the No. 1 priority for Campbell and his staff. “Kamari [Cotton-Moya] takes me back to my years at Toledo and trying to run or throw the ball opposite to where he was,” Campbell said. “He has a high ceiling of skill set and ability, but I’d like to see that ability every day.” After the first practice of the spring season, there was already a sense of leadership in Cotton-Moya. He was going up to younger players on the

team and helping them with the new formations and strategies as well as individually asking questions to the defensive staff to clarify his concerns. The key concern during the last few years with Cotton-Moya has been his health. Cotton-Moya has had head, neck and hamstring injuries that have made him miss nearly 10 games in two seasons. Campbell made it clear at his press conference that Cotton-Moya’s health is essential for the Cyclones to have a solid defense this upcoming season. He’s also depending on a strong defensive line to put a few quarterbacks on their backs this season. “He loves the game of football and has been tremendous since the day I stepped on campus,” Campbell said. “We have to be smart with him to keep him as healthy as possible.” The ISU defensive line has a veteran lineup with years of experience at Iowa State. The line consists of redshirt seniors Demond Tucker, Darius White and Pierre Aka, senior Bobby Leath and redshirt junior J.D. Waggoner, along with some incoming junior college transfers and fresh-

men. Last season, Tucker won the Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year with his six sacks and 28 tackles throughout the 12 games. Tucker played at CopiahLincoln Community College but transferred last

season to Iowa State and has led the defensive line to a higher standard. Aka is another leader on the defensive line after a coming out season last year. Aka was a reserved defensive lineman and played

in 10 of 12 games last season, recording 20 tackles with big games at Toledo and Kansas. Iowa State lost Trent Taylor and Dale Pierson to graduation from the defensive line for this upcoming season.

Campbell said he’s excited about the experience and seniority the defense brings to the team this upcoming season. Cotton-Moya, Tucker and Aka are just some of the pieces and key leaders of the ISU defense.

ISU senior Earl Hall is declared the winner of his match against West Virginia on Feb. 14 at Hilton Coliseum. Hall concluded his ISU wrestling career with a seventh-place finish at the NCAA Championships on Saturday.

Wrestling team finishes 12th at NCAA Championships By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com Three ISU wrestlers finished on the podium at the NCAA Wrestling Championships, which ended Saturday in New York City. The Cyclones also finished with 35 team points, which was good enough for 12th place overall. Saturday afternoon started with Lelund Weatherspoon and Pat Downey wrestling in the consolation semi-finals. Weatherspoon, a 174-pounder, wrestled No. 8 seed Zach Epperly to begin the day for the Cyclones. Weatherspoon lost by major decision 13-5. He would wrestle for fifth place. Downey wrestled No. 4 seed Nathan Burak of Iowa in his consolation semifinal match. Downey and Burak didn’t wrestle earlier this year when Iowa State and Iowa met at Hilton Col-

iseum because Downey wasn’t eligible. Downey lost to Burak in sudden victory, 3-1. Downey would also wrestle for fifth place. Senior Earl Hall was the first Cyclone to wrestle in his podium match. Hall was wrestling for seventh place against Jade Rauser of Utah Valley. Hall, a No. 8 seed, dominated the match from the beginning. He had two takedowns that went from feet to back and resulted in a combined 12 points for Hall. He also had another four-point near-fall that resulted in a 16-1 technical fall in the first period. “Earl Hall with a dominating Tech Fall in the 7th place match,” Trackwrestling tweeted Saturday. Hall finished his collegiate career on the podium, finishing seventh at the NCAA Championships. Hall had 33 wins this season. Weatherspoon wrestled No. 12 seed Nathan Jackson of Indiana for fifth place.

Weatherspoon got the first takedown of the match, but he couldn’t find a way to score again. Weatherspoon lost to Jackson, 5-2. Weatherspoon finished his tournament sixth at 174 pounds. He upset three top-15 wrestlers, including the No. 2 seed in the first round. Downey wrestled No. 6 Jared Haught of Virginia Tech for the second time in the NCAA Championships. The first time they met, Downey pinned Haught in tiebreakers. In their second meeting it was more of the same for Downey. He pinned Haught in 3:48 via “The Gadson” to get fifth place. “Man PATRICK, back at it AGAIN with “The GADSON”! Great way to finish @ThePatDowney NCAA D1 All-American! The way is up!! #BeBetter,” former ISU wrestler Kyven Gadson tweeted Saturday.

ISU searches for new libero By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com Replacing players is a part of collegiate sports; it’s a given, and teams do it year in and year out. Replacing an All-American, on the other hand, is an entirely different story. ISU volleyball is affectionately known as Libero U for its continuous production at the libero position. All-American Kristen Hahn handed the baton to All-American Caitlin Nolan, and Nolan will now be handing the baton to the next player in line. However, ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch isn’t sure who will be next in line to receive the baton from Nolan. That’s why this spring season is so important for the Cyclones. “Probably as difficult as it’s been every other year we’ve had to replace a libero,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We’ve had to do it a lot of times and every time the next libero steps up and fills those shoes very well.” Branen Berta, Abby Phillips and Hali Hillegas are all in consideration for the spot. Berta is currently a junior, and Phillips and

Hillegas are freshmen. “On our team right now we have three great candidates and they’re working their butts off,” JohnsonLynch said. “I feel really good with whoever wins that position because it means they had to beat out two other really good players.” The Cyclones traveled to Hawaii to kick off their spring season last weekend. Phillips recorded 28 digs as the ISU libero. Hillegas also saw time at Libero in Hawaii. She recorded 10 digs in the loss in four sets. The team combined for 12 digs per set. Iowa State makes it a focus to find and develop the best talent at the libero position. “We really focus on it in our recruiting and go out and get the best ones we can find and then I think we make it a focus of our training so we spend a lot of time on it,” JohnsonLynch said. “We have really good coaches that can train the libero position.” Nolan averaged 5.78 digs per set last season, which was good for third most in school history. While it appears the Cyclones will be able to replace her production, it’ll

be just as important to replace her leadership. “It’s going to be really hard [to replace her] because she was such a great part of our team,” said outside hitter Jess Schaben. It’s important for the libero position to be very vocal; it is the defensive anchor on a team. That’s something Nolan excelled in for the Cyclones. Johnson-Lynch said she wants her seniors to step into that leadership role. The rest will be by personality. Sophomore middle blocker Alexis Conaway is one of the most consistent players for the Cyclones. She will help fill the leadership void left by Nolan. “Personally just being a more vocal leader on the court,” Conaway said. “That’s something we’ll be missing with Catlin Nolan. She was a huge leader on our team. Just stepping up into that position.” Johnson-Lynch believes she has a number of good options to fill the leadership void. “I think we have a lot of good candidates and a couple of people that like to talk,” Johnson-Lynch said.

Bonding bolsters softball team chemistry By Curran.McLaughlin @iowastatedaily.com One year ago, on the coastline of Clearwater, Fla., hotels and tourists littered the edge of the beach in near-perfect weather. Looking out at the beach, the deep turquoise of the ocean blended into the sky, which was as blue as a robin’s egg. From the hotel pool one can see the spring breakers on the white sand. A group of women can be seen in the pool relaxing and watching the people. They are exhausted. They weren’t in Florida for the typical Spring Break experience like those around them. These women belong to the ISU softball team, which had just finished playing two games that day. Iowa State traveled to Fort Myers to play Friday and Saturday as part of the annual five-week road schedule that the team must embark on because of poor spring weather conditions in Iowa that don’t allow for games. During a week that is typically viewed by the average college student as a time to let loose, the Cyclones’ work ethic couldn’t go on break. “When we travel we know our main goal is to play softball,” said senior Aly Cappaert. “As Division I softball players we know that’s what we have to keep our focus on.” It didn’t bother the players, Cappaert added while watching the partying and celebration in front of them. They had a commitment to their teammates. This road schedule isn’t just a chance for the team to travel to beautiful, warm locations while playing the sport they love, for them it’s also a way to build and grow as a team. Twenty-one women. Together, these 21 women are teammates but also

travel partners. They all double, triple, even quadruple check their packing checklists to make sure they have what they need. Some of them have it down to a science; it’s a challenge to keep a travel bag to under 50 pounds while having to pack uniforms and the equipment needed to play for the weekend. These 21 women all wait together at the airport. They study together, watch movies, talk and eat with one another. At the airport, it isn’t hard to miss the Cyclones, who are often seen studying or watching something on a laptop. They dress comfortably in ISU colored sweats, prepared for the long trip. All the time spent traveling during the five weeks gives the women an opportunity to connect with one another. For many, it’s the little things that can resonate just as much as the big events. “Even in sports there’s groups that tend to stick together,” said junior Cathlin Bingham. “[Making these] connections makes the team stronger. It makes us closer.” Whether it’s sitting and rooming with a different team member for each trip, going to a teammate’s favorite restaurant in their home state or watching someone get their hair braided into cornrows by senior Brittany Gomez at the airport, connections are made at every turn off the field as well as during games and practice. The players have said it all seems to blur together as they continue to journey through their collegiate career. With the demanding schedules of softball and traveling, it’s hard for players to keep track of everything that happens. However, there are certain instances that are memorable and affect the entire team.

Max Goldberg/Iowa State Daily

The ISU softball team huddles together before a game against Drake on Oct. 2, 2015. The team recently concluded its annual five-week road schedule that began in Texas on Feb. 19 and ended Saturday in Florida.

Last season, Iowa State had just finished its weekend series against Baylor in Waco, Texas. The team was unable to fly to Dallas, where it would catch a flight to Iowa, because of bad weather. The team managed to get a bus and make its way toward its destinations while attempting to avoid the storm. The bus was the only vehicle on the road. Everyone else had pulled over. It was pouring rain, and the landscape was constantly illuminated with bright flashing streaks from the rapid lighting. Every phone on the bus was on GPS or weather reports as the players nervously watched themselves get closer to the colorful

blobs on their screen. That’s when it happened. “At the same time all the iPhone tornado alarms went off,” Cappaert said. “The bus was super loud with tornado alarms. We’re like, ‘it says the tornado is six miles west of here.’” Coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler and her assistant coaches took the short bursts of droning as a sign to find shelter. They stopped at the nearest hotel in a small town. Gomez recalled getting soaked just to get into the building and then having to wait while the rooms were booked. She remembers how scared some of her teammates were in the moment as they sought shelter.

“We’re just all in the lobby, there’s girls in the restroom, in the men’s restrooms, girls in the little closet,” Gomez said. Eventually as the storm raged on, rooms were booked, and the next morning with only a few hours of sleep the team was able to make its way to Dallas to catch the nearest flights back to Ames. Experiences like the tornado are hard to forget, but the little conversations and moments these 21 women value the most from day to day aren’t going to be as easy to remember. But once they have finished playing, it’s the relationships that they’ve built with their teammates that will be most important to them.

Those relationships are also important to Gemeinhardt-Cesler, who is usually busy scouting and prepping for games during these trips. It takes a strong bond to create good chemistry on the field, and Gemeinhardt-Cesler is pleased with how each player reaches out to one another to form these lifelong relationships. “For a lot [of the players], for the rest of their lives they’re going to be close to each other, and those times [of bonding] come from being in the tornado,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. “I think those [events] are intangible but at the core you’re still forming who you are and all that grows exponentially on the road.”

MARKET p3 brought the issue to the attention of the council and that other community members have since thanked him it. “It’s getting to a financial point for me that I have to stand up and be counted,” Swank said. Petersen said she has allotted 15-foot spaces for each of this year’s vendors, leaving space on either side of the 10-foot tents so visi-

CANDIDATES p1 has been campaigning since late 2014. Robert Rees, a former conservative talk radio host on Des Moines’ 98.3 The Torch/KWQW-FM, had announced his intention to challenge Grassley in the Republican primary, but announced last week that the state of the race had changed and he was having trouble collecting the necessary signatures to get on the ballot. “Incumbents are almost never voted out,” said Steffen Schmidt, university professor of political science. “Anyone wanting to beat Grassley needs a huge Democrat turnout and must attract lots of independent, no party voters.” Despite the national attention, Roll Call still rates the Senate race as “Safe Republican.” Iowa’s 1st District Incumbent: Rod Blum, R-Dubuque, who is in the middle of his first term in D.C. The Dubuque businessman was able to fend off

SUPREME COURT p1 ning against Grassley. Judge, the state’s No. 2 executive under Gov. Chet Culver from 2007 to 2011, made it official a few days later on March 5. She plans to be the Judge “Grassley can’t ignore” and joined the race. “I certainly can’t understand the rationale of the Republicans,” Judge told reporters last week on a conference call. “I think this is a huge issue. It’s a huge issue for our country. This will continue

tors can better access the Main Street businesses. She also said she plans to create signage throughout the market this year highlighting the various businesses on Main Street. Petersen also said she’s in the “brainstorming phase” of figuring out how to fund a potential shuttle service. “We’re going to work really hard at trying to solve the issues so it can be a win/win for everybody,” Petersen said.

BLOOD DRIVE p1 co-director. “There’s not a medication that you can get that will have the same effect, and it comes directly from people willing to give part of themselves to someone else.” Phillips said the Iowa State Blood Drive committees work through the year with various blood centers around the state to ensure that the drive is successful. Both Fieldsend and Phil-

lips stressed that in order to benefit from the donations, the blood needs to be distributed to different centers to reach the largest amount of people possible. Last fall, the blood drive had about 2,500 donors, which was one of the largest turnouts ever at Iowa State. The turnout is expected to be smaller this spring, but the co-directors stressed that every donation matters. “They say that every do-

nation of blood saves three lives,” Fieldsend said. “So you think about that and you have the amount of people that we have donating and save a lot of lives.” Although the committee members see many people who are hesitant to donate, they encourage all students and faculty to come in and volunteer at the very least. The blood drive saw more than 700 volunteers last semester, and they are hoping that number continues to

grow, Phillips said. Fieldsend said anyone who takes care of their body in the days leading up to the drive and who can overcome a few seconds of pain should donate. “If you can get past the five to 10 minutes of donating and really see the impact you’re having and learn about the stories of people who have really need that pint of blood … I think it strongly outweighs the pain,” Phillips said.

former Iowa House Speaker Pat Murphy in the 2014 midterm in a district that voted heavily for Obama in 2012. Blum had two primary challengers in 2014, but no other Republicans have filed for the seat this cycle. Challengers: Blum has two challengers on the Democratic side, including 2014 candidate Murphy, DDubuque, and Cedar Rapids City Councilwoman Monica Vernon. Vernon, who was the Democratic choice for lieutenant governor in 2014, jumped in the race first and has the backing of most statewide and national Democrats, and high-profile groups such as EMILY’s LIST, a pro-choice Super PAC backing women who support abortion rights. Murphy decided to jump in the race again and already has the backing of some unions in the district. He is enjoying name recognition in Dubuque and from his first run. Roll Call rates the first district as “tilts Democrat.” Iowa’s 2nd District

With only one candidate from each party filing, the general election is set in Iowa’s 2nd District. Incumbent: Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa City, who is now in his fifth term in Congress. Challenger: Chris Peters, R-Coralville. The Iowa City area doctor is largely unknown and was a lastminute filer for the Republican primary. Peters has no campaign infrastructure at this point, but state GOP chair Jeff Kauffman told the Quad City Times last week he thinks Peters will be a good candidate. Peters, who graduated from the University of Kansas, lists himself as lifetime member of the Libertarian National Committee on his LinkedIn page. State Sen. Mark Chelgren, R-Ottumwa, was planning to challenge Loebsack, but dropped his bid last week. Roll Call rates the race as “safe Democrat.” Iowa’s 3rd District Incumbent: David Young, R-Van Meter, who, along with Blum, is in his first term

in Congress. Young was one of six candidates in 2014 and came in fifth in the primary, but no candidate reached the 35 percent threshold, which triggered a county convention, which ultimately picked Young. Challengers: Joe Grandanette, R-Des Moines, who is a retired elementary school teacher and ran in 2014, will challenge Young in the GOP primary. On the Democratic side, three candidates have lined up. Jim Mowrer, D-Des Moines, who was the Democratic nominee in Iowa’s 4th District but failed to beat out King, has moved to the 3rd District and already has the backing of many statewide Democrats. Desmund Adams, DClive, who is a businessman in the Des Moines area, is also running, along with Mike Sherzan, D-West Des Moines, who is a doctor. Roll Call rates the race as a “tossup.” Iowa’s 4th District Incumbent: Steve King, R-Kiron, who has been serving in Congress since 2003.

King, an outspoken critic of illegal immigration, was easily re-elected in his 2014 race. Challengers: King faces a serious primary challenge from state Sen. Rick Bertrand, R-Sioux City, who announced his candidacy last week. Bertrand told the Sioux City Journal that King had become institutionalized after over a decade in Washington, and that King trying to gain a national following has made him an ineffective congressman. In a statement following Bertrand’s announcement, King said “a couple of wealthy and petulant establishment Republicans” were funding Bertrand’s challenge because they want to own a congressman. He added that a number of Republicans had reached out to King to inform him that they had been asked to challenge him. “I’ve now been informed an offer was accepted,” King said. “What was the offer my opponent accepted? He needs to answer this ques-

tion to the citizens of the 4th Congressional District.” On the other hand, King upset many Iowa conservatives who support the Renewable Fuel Standard by backing Ted Cruz in the Iowa Caucus, Schmidt said. Either way, a primary challenge to someone like King will not be easy. “To oppose a sitting Congress member requires the challenger in a primary to get lots of reputable and powerful people to endorse and physically stand by the challenger,” Schmidt said. “We will see if that happens.” On the Democratic side, Kim Weaver, D-Sheldon, who is chair of the O’Brien County Democratic Party, will be the nominee for Democrats. Weaver, an ISU alumnae, has called out King for his position on immigration while minimally campaigning so far. Roll Call rates the race as “safe Republican.” A full list of candidates for all federal and state offices is available on the Secretary of State’s website.

to be an issue if they continue to obstruct the process.” Judge also told reporters that there will be a “dissatisfaction” among voters because of the GOP strategy — “gridlock and a lack of activity,” as she put it. “I think that will carry through to election day,” Judge said. “I think this is a season where voters across the country and in Iowa are voicing dissatisfaction with politics as usual.” Another challenger, state Sen. Rob Hogg, D-Cedar Rapids, plans to make the

Supreme Court fight a campaign issue. “Now that the president has made a nomination to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court, it is time for Sen. Grassley and his colleagues in the United States Senate to do their job,” Hogg said. “Give the nominee a fair hearing and an up-or-down vote.” Hogg, currently in his second term in the Iowa Senate, worked for two federal judges, one appointed by a Democrat, another by a Republican, and said they

both were “good judges,” regardless of party. In the Iowa Legislature, Hogg is vice-chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee at the statehouse. He said that he understands the importance of confirming judges because of his own experience doing so. “In the Iowa Senate, we are currently reviewing Governor Branstad’s appointees for numerous

boards and commissions including the State Judicial Nominating Commission,” Hogg said. “Each nominee will receive an up-or-down vote unless withdrawn by the Governor. The United States Senate should also set aside partisanship and do its job considering the President’s nominee.” In addition, also has two other lesser-known challengers.

They include former state Rep. Bob Krause of Fairfield and former state Sen. Tom Fiegen of Clarence. While Krause has been going after Grassley on the Supreme Court fight as well, Fiegen has warned voters that Judge is influenced by big money in agriculture. While Grassley will be the GOP nominee in November, Democrats will narrow the field down to one candidate on primary day, June 7.
