As with many criminal acts, the aspects of sexual harassment may be confusing to understand for people with little to no background in legal jargon. One of the most important things to know is that it can take place anywhere, including at college and the workplace. When it comes to identifying healthy interactions, Beth Mensing, comprehensive sexual health educator at Planned Parenthood, believes recurring education is vital.

Illinois definition: unwelcome conduct of sexual nature

Sexual assault is a complex and horrible issue. It is personal, it is heartbreaking and it is different in every case. But if we ever

want to put an end to sexual assault, we have to stop letting its complexity get in our way. This is the ninth story in a

“I think there should be something available every year, K-12, that’s addressing healthy relationships, consent, decision-making,” Mensing said in a previous Iowa State Daily article. Iowa State’s Office of Institutional Research reported in fall 2016 that among the 30,671 undergraduate students, 26,590 students were from either Iowa or bordering states. But not all states have the same laws. How law enforcement addresses sexual harassment in Ames and surrounding cities likely differs from how they handle it in surrounding states, as well.

City council hosts workshops for future planning By Chris.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com Ames City Council met Tuesday to host two major workshops focusing on issues facing the Ames community. The first workshop focused on the state of internet services in Ames and how to ensure Ames residents have access to the high-speed internet they desire. Four major internet service providers (ISPs) in Ames were present to speak at the workshop. Mediacom was present to showcase the technology its company offers to commercial and residential areas. Among the plans Mediacom has for Ames is a fiber network expansion downtown that would allow it to offer fiber-based internet and gigabit speeds. Mediacom is also working on expanding its gigabit speeds to residential areas in Ames. CenturyLink was also present to talk about the internet solutions it offers to Ames residents. The policy Centurylink has been implementing in Ames is that all

new developments it offers service to would receive fiber internet lines, allowing faster internet speeds. City Council member Gloria Betcher raised the question of addressing poor speeds in older neighborhoods, like the one she lives in. The ISPs present gave many reasons why internet speeds may be slower than advertised, including issues with a neighbor’s network or small animals chewing through internet lines. A Mediacom representative said the company is currently working on walking through neighborhoods and looking for “leaks,” or broken lines, and addressing whether a repair was needed. Many complaints were made regarding the reliability of these companies’ internet service, claiming the speeds they offer were not sufficient. The ISPs responded by claiming they do not do any work if there is not an adequate return on their investment, or if there is not a sufficient market demand. Betcher again criticized the companies for their policy, saying ISPs

Faculty Research Day fosters collaboration

Jonathan Wickert, senior vice president and provost, meets with ISU Faculty Research Day attendees. The event took place Tuesday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

By Mitchell.LaFrance @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State Faculty Research Day provided faculty with an opportunity to present interdisciplinary research and to expand their network Tuesday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. The Office of the Vice President for Research hosted the event as a way for faculty to get together in one room and discuss different areas of research and possible opportunities for them to collaborate. With more than 300 registered faculty in attendance and 55 displays, the event was a huge success, Guru Rao, associate vice president for research, said. “The idea was to get faculty from different disciplines and give them the opportunity

to mingle and encourage interdisciplinary kinds of research,” Rao said. Much of the research taking place in today’s fast-paced world requires people to get together and share ideas. “Some of the more rapid advances or solutions to complex problems are going to come from the interface of two different disciplines,” Rao said. The various displays covered topics ranging from elementary education research to the creation of tools that will help cities construct and build more sustainable urban environments. One project in particular aims to reduce the use of petroleum in industrial adhesives. The Center for Bioplastics and Biocomposites (CBB) is at the forefront of this research, and it hopes to one day have its

product completely replace petrochemicalbased adhesives. “We’re taking what used to be a byproduct of the biodiesel process and using it for something else,” Kendra Allen, doctorate student with the CBB, said. Allen said the first part of the project looked at adhesives used in construction. The main goal is to reduce the number of VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, from these products used in the industry as a way to become more sustainable when it comes to materials in buildings and everyday household items. “The biggest challenge so far has been trying to figure out the different processing steps and actually make it so we’re not harming the environment and not using any VOCs,” Allen said. The event also included “lightning talks,”

speeches presented by faculty with a special requirement: the presentation had to remain under four minutes in length, and presenters could only use two slides on a presentation. The purpose of the lightning talks was to encourage professors and researchers to present their findings in a manner that would allow people who may not know a lot about the topic to follow along. This was the first year the event took place, and Rao dubbed it the “beta” event. “The whole idea was [about] ‘how are we going to provide a forum to not simply accidentally bump into somebody else on campus and ask what are they doing’ but have an event where people can come to talk, present their individual projects with posters and give them a speaking opportunity,” Rao said.

‘Tested’ tracks students prepping for high school By Katlyn.Campbell @iowastatedaily.com

The Ames Community School District is facing scrutiny for an achievement gap observed in 2016 that reached as high as 30 percent for some kids. The gap was noticed in students specifically from African-Americans and Latinos.

Achievement gap affects students of color in Ames By Michael.Heckle @iowastatedaily.com When Angela Shaw enrolled her daughter in the Ames Community School District after moving from Texas to Iowa, she was an exceptional student. Shaw’s daughter came from one of Texas’ “magnet schools,” a private school focused on fine arts. She was considered a “gifted and talented” student. But when she started attending Ames schools in fourth grade, she began to struggle with math, a subject she had never had problems with before. By the time she started high school, Shaw’s daughter was below the school’s standards, meaning she had to take additional tutorial classes – classes she felt were unhelpful and unnecessary.

“When she came into the Ames school system in fourth grade, all of her academics were on a six- and seventh-grade level,” Shaw said. “This is a high-achieving student that has been stereotyped through the system.” But Shaw’s story isn’t unique. As an African-American student, Shaw’s daughter is part of a demographic that is vulnerable in school systems throughout the nation. This kind of racial gap didn’t come to the forefront of Ames schools until the 2016 Iowa School Report Card brought to light a major problem in Ames Middle School: an achievement gap as high as 30 percent. The gap affects African-American students the most but also hurts Latino students, stu-

GAP p4

For middle schoolers in New York City, one test determines their future in achieving a high-quality high school education. The 2015 documentary “Tested” by award-winning filmmaker Curtis Chin aired Tuesday night in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union and was followed by a discussion. The film showcased a dozen eighth-graders from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds and races as they vie for a spot in an elite school. With only eight highlyselective public high schools in New York City with admission based solely on the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT). The SHSAT tests students on English and math with 95 multiple choice questions in the span of 2.5 hours. Statistics shown in the documentary based on racial disparity in high schools demonstrated the complications ethnically diverse students face when moving on to higher education.

Alexandra Kelly/Iowa State Daily

The documentary “Tested” was shown Tuesday in the Memorial Union.

“Black and Hispanic students make up 70 percent of all NYC public school students, but only 12 percent at the specialized high schools,” according to “Tested.” Students introduced in the film understood the lengths they had to go to prepare for acing the SHSAT test. Inaki, an eighth-grader, spent a majority of his free time studying. “I’ve been usually doing about eight hours a week or

maybe a little more than an hour a day of just test prep and studying,” Inaki said. Many of the parents interviewed in the film wanted their children to take the SHSAT test so they could have a better life than they did. Affirmative action and the model-minority myth were also discussed in the film. Affirmative action is a policy that favors those who

Bridging the divide between IRHA, students By Rachel.Ori @iowastatedaily.com Members of the Inter-Residence Hall Association represent every student living in a residence hall on campus, however, some students feel disconnected from their representatives. With more than 20 residence halls on campus, and most first-year students living in one, IRHA members speak for thousands of students.

The association’s constitution defines a residence hall as “…a self-governing building or group of buildings whose hall council has approved this Constitution and whose residents pay IRHA dues.” The money mentioned in the financial dues of the constitution goes toward activities, events and items that IRHA chooses to fund. During each meeting, the group debates on bills and resolutions, most of which ask for financial funding. Its overall goal is to represent residence hall students in their

final decisions. With upward of thousands of dollars to spend each semester, the decisions IRHA members make have significant importance. But some of the students that IRHA members are representing feel as if they don’t have a clear voice in the decisionmaking process. Nicole Stout, sophomore in environmental science and resident of Eaton Hall, said she isn’t aware of who her IRHA representative is or what IRHA does. “I didn’t even know IRHA existed until a

couple months ago, so I’m not sure exactly what they do,” Stout said. When it comes to the amount of money that IRHA has access to and regularly spends, Stout said that the group may have the right intentions but not the right goals. “Although students living in the dorms would like to have an enjoyable experience beyond the books, we are ultimately here to get an education,” she said. This semester alone, IRHA has spent

(RAINN) said sexual harassment can occur anywhere and by anyone. Sexual assault and sexual harassment are not two completely different things, either, according to RAINN. Sexual harassment encompasses sexual assault. Those who have experienced sexual assault may have, therefore, also experienced sexual harassment. Jazzmine Hudson, sexual misconduct prevention coordinator, hopes to create an engaging and interactive program to educate students about sexual misconduct. “I’m not about changing minds, but I’m about changing the environment to where people know they can’t commit these crimes and to make a safer climate for people,” Hudson previously said at a GPSS meeting. Here’s a rundown of sexual harassment laws which vary by state, location: Iowa State University discrimination, sexual harassment The Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) said sexual harassment is verbal, visual or physical. “Sexual harassment can also consist of persistent, unwelcome attempts to change a professional or academic relationship to a romantic or sexual one. It can range from unwelcome sexual expressions directed at individual persons or classes of people to serious physical abuses such as sexual assault,” according to the ISU Policy Library. Sexual harassment can be implicit or explicit, according to the OEO. Iowa (61.81 percent of Iowa State’s undergraduate students) According to Iowa Code 708.7, harassment is “with intent to intimidate, annoy, or alarm another person …” Such instances include but are not limited to: potentially harmful or annoying communication and having unwarranted things delivered to someone. Ames Police Cmdr. Geoff Huff said harassment can include any unwanted contact in the forms of texts, emails, and verbal and physical harassment. There is no charge for sexual harassment, but this falls under the harassment charge. “[The harassment code] doesn’t define what the harassment is,” Huff said. “It’s more based on what is the harass-

ment and whether that is ... bothersome to the victim. Is it threatening in nature? Is it unwanted?” Charges for harassment in Iowa are split into first, second and third degrees. The first degree, aggravated misdemeanor, is “involving a threat to commit a forcible felony…” in Iowa and is the most serious sexual harassment charge. The second degree, serious misdemeanor, is “involving a threat to com-

AND NEIGHBORING STATES mit bodily injury…” in Iowa. Third degree, simple misdemeanor, is any other act of harassment, including cases of sexual harassment and is the least serious sexual harassment charge. Illinois (12.28 percent of Iowa State’s undergraduate students) In Illinois, sexual harassment is defined as any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or any conduct of sexual nature. The main categories of sexual harassment are verbal, non-verbal, visual and physical, according to the the Illinois Human Rights Act. The Illinois Human Rights Act also describes “textual/electronic” as a category of sexual harassment, and is one of the only states to do so. Things that fall in this category include sexting, explicit language, cyberstalking and “threats via all forms of electronic communication.” Minnesota (9.64 percent of Iowa State’s undergraduate students) Minnesota code 609.748 includes, but is not limited to, harassment as a “single incident of physical or sexual assault,” stalking, “non-consensual dissemination of private sexual images,” multiple incidents of unwanted acts of any kind. If someone is a victim of harassment, they can seek a restraining order by the

Lewis Rosser, an Ames school board director who serves on the Diversity Advocacy Committee, said the issue goes far beyond the middle school. “It’s not exclusive to the middle school,” Rosser said. “It’s not like all the sudden the kids show up and something happens or they leave there and problem solved,” Rosser said. “The gap begins in the latter years of elementary and then, of course, continues in high school. Although some of the data shows it does improve in high school, or the gap lessens.” The Iowa School Report Card uses the Iowa Assessment Test to compare how students are achieving from a year-to-year basis. “There’s a racial basis involved in any test,” Rosser said. “And that’s been proven in research for decades now in our country. And they’ve been working on getting those racial biases taken care of, but they do exist. So we can’t ignore that. We also can’t ignore the fact that it’s just one test.” But the data surround-

ing the achievement gap in Ames Middle School goes back many years. What really raised red flags to Rosser, and other members of the Board and community, was the consistency in which the gap was widening. The administration did try to take some steps forward. Last November, the Ames School Board worked with the Story County Attorney to create a program targeting truancy. For many, however, focusing on attendance as the board’s first public action was a misstep. Monic Behnken, professor of sociology at Iowa State and a candidate for the Ames Community School Board, said that issues with attendance aren’t the problem, they’re a result. “Addressing attendance is not going to fix the things that were existing and making it difficult to be successful in this environment years earlier,” Behnken said. Rosser, Behnken and Shaw all noted that this gap was not the fault of the teachers, rather it is a systematic problem that school districts around the nation face. “This is a structural issue,” Behnken said. “This is not a failing of the teachers in the Ames Community School District. I want that message to be exceedingly clear.”

Columnist Kelly argues that judges should not have the power to subjectively interpret the Constitution and restrain legally-sound legislation based on their personal beliefs regarding what the Constitution does and does not permit.

Unconstitutional shutdown Judge’s blocking of Trump’s revised order was unjustified By Tom.Kelly @iowastatedaily.com

ast Wednesday, Honolulu district judge Derrick Watson issued a nationwide, temporary restraining order against the Trump administration’s revised executive order regarding immigration. Unfortunately, Judge Watson’s reasoning is not only unsound, but also sets a dangerous judicial precedent. The most basic flaw of the decision is in the court’s granting of legal standing to plaintiff Ismail Elshikh, a Muslim-American doctor. First, he is an American citizen of Egyptian descent. The executive order does not apply to American citizens, nor does it reference immigration from Egypt. The court found that Elshikh — whose mother-in-law lives in Syria — has standing to sue in part because he was “deeply saddened by the message [the executive orders] convey.” Most government action affecting broad swaths of people is devastating to someone. However, this does not grant every disaffected person legal standing to sue the government. The second problematic pronouncement of the ruling was its application of the establishment clause of the Constitution. The court sought to show that the primary purpose of the revised order was not secular by citing several of President Trump’s remarks regarding radical Islamic terrorism. This line of reasoning is troublesome for

a few reasons. First, while some of the remarks were overboard and vacuous — including campaign comments that the United States should enact a Muslim ban — several of the comments the court cited were made prior to Trump’s inauguration. Even if Trump harbors an unfounded prejudice toward Islam, it was not evident in official executive action, as neither of his administration’s executive orders prohibited entry to the United States on the basis of religion. Second, the statements the court referenced contained plain truths that were evidently overlooked, ignored or refuted without written explanation. For example, the court cites this comment Trump made while on the campaign trail in reference to radical Islamic terrorism: “But there’s a tremendous hatred. And we have to be very vigilant. We have to be very careful. And we can’t allow people coming into this country who have this hatred of the United States . . . and of people that are not Muslim.” It’s unclear why the court believes this statement is problematic. American immigration policy has long sought to prevent those who adhere to dangerous anti-American ideologies from entering the country. Members of terrorist organizations do not possess constitutional privileges under the First Amendment simply because their antiAmerican ideology happens to be fundamentally religious (obviously this is not to say that Islam itself is anti-American, but rather that its radical adherents believe it is their religious duty to wage war against non-Muslims.) Additionally, the line of reasoning that implies that Judge Watson is within his rights to halt the imple-

mentation of this executive order — on the basis that he believes Trump’s primary motivation for signing this immigration order was his shallow loathing of Muslims generally — could be applied more liberally. Could not a citizen or state sue to prevent war against an Islamic terrorist organization? What about a military raid in a predominantly Muslim nation? Trump has expressed disdain for the radical elements of Islam, and, some believe, Islam as a whole. When does he have America’s safety in mind, and when is he using the military as a cover to discriminate against Muslims? Allowing executive action to be challenged based on motivation is a slippery slope. To be sure, the issue at hand has less to do with hypothetical extrema and more to do with the constitutional balance of power throughout the government. The court’s use of a political candidate’s comments — perceived to be infused with baseless animosity toward a religion — as partial justification for halting the enactment of an executive order is a worrisome arrogation of power by the judiciary. Judges should not possess the power to both subjectively interpret the Constitution, and to abrogate or restrain legally-sound legislation based on its differentiation with their personal attitudes regarding what the Constitution does and does not permit. The American governmental structure devised by the Founders did not grant the courts — and they alone — the ability to determine constitutionality. Congress should exercise its Article 1 powers to limit the jurisdiction of district courts, their power of judicial review, or both.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Prison labor prevents trouble, repeat offenses By Eric Schultz, Student Government senator Before I begin on with this, I just want to reiterate that the following is solely my opinion and is in no way, shape or form the consensus of my colleagues within Student Government. I promised them that I would not write to the editor again (as my New Year’s Resolution was to be less outspoken), however, if you go throughout college without having your viewpoints challenged at least once or twice, you really have not learned anything. I mean no disrespect toward those who oppose the use of prison labor but when the only ones who are speaking up are the ones who oppose it, I feel that it is appropriate for me to speak up because this is a conversation that we need to have. I have an uncle who was sentenced to 30 days in jail for a DUI. When I had an internship last summer with the Depart-

ment of Education, I parked in the employee lot and had to walk through the Department of Corrections (DoC) part of the building to get to my place of work. Some of those ladies still remember me. I watched prison documentaries and some of the “13th.” I know from that some of the struggles that certain people face. After my conversations during spring break with my uncle, the lady at the DoC, and seeing the “13th,” I fully support the use of prison labor and think that it is nothing like being force-fed pig fat as a colleague argued. I think if anything, we need to be heading in another direction. I agree that we need to give inmates opportunities to better themselves, which is part of the reason why the DoC offers a chance to work. Prisons do in fact offer all sorts of programs (including getting a GED and in some cases their college equivalence) designed to help by building a solid work ethic that has proven to carry over into the

outside world. Inmates are given a chance to work in the kitchen, laundry or whatever when they are not studying and choose to do so because it is proven time and time again that an inmate not working is an inmate who is more likely to be in a gang, cause trouble and is more likely to return. If you take my uncle’s experience for instance, he was given a choice to do nothing and serve the full 30 days or to work and have 10 days reduced from his sentence, plus another three days for good behavior. If given the chance to do it over again, he said that he would do the same thing because it got him out earlier and kept him away from the gangs living within his cell block of the Southern California jail where he was staying. He picked watermelons in the jail garden, picked up litter and washed cop cars without taking a dime and says that absolutely opposes anything that prevents inmates from working.

In fact, he credits the work he did for causing him to not drive drunk afterward. And as far as the pig fat argument is considered, inmates do not do anything that puts their health at risk (such as eating pig fat every day) and are very well hydrated and fed while working (unlike actual slaves.) So in conclusion, I believe that if you do the crime, you owe a debt to society that has to be paid off in some way or another. I also believe that if you do not like nonviolent drug offenders and young individuals who violated unfair curfew laws filling our jails, go after the laws that put them there, not the system that corrects the behavior. My uncle is living proof that jail labor really does work. He said that it sucked and he hasn’t been back since because he thinks of the experiences every time he is tempted to drive drunk. So I encourage everybody to ask yourself, do you really want to get rid of this system?

Eleven years ago yesterday, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey made history by sending the very first tweet: “just setting up my twttr.” The replies below the tweet, many made on the March 21 anniversary of the original tweet, include @HAlanScott’s “honestly, half of the great things that have happened in my career are because of Twitter,” @ MehrTarar’s “Thank you for that. Truly turned a big, big place into a global village. You rock” and @MiguelGamino’s shout out to the whole founding crew, “Happy Birthday @twitter! Congrats @ jack @biz @noah @ev! You changed the way the world is woven together.” It’s hard to believe Twitter has only been around 11 years. From everyday social interactions to political organization, live streams of presidential debates and more, this social network has grown vastly in the past 11 years. And with 313 million monthly active users, the conversations that take place can be productive, informational and fun – even more so if you’re willing to keep a few unwritten rules in mind that will make Twitter more pleasant for everyone. There’s one simple action you can take to avoid inviting abuse to an unsuspecting person. When you see someone mention a celebrity or political figure in a tweet by name, don’t include the person’s Twitter username in your reply or retweet. If the person who posted the tweet wanted to use the celebrity’s username in their tweet, they probably would have – adding it yourself increases the possibility they might see it and retweet it, thereby reeking havoc in the original tweeter’s notifications. Speaking of retweeting and replying, don’t reply to incredibly old tweets, especially if you have an opinion you feel the person must know about – if you’re taking the time to reply to a threemonth-old tweet to share an opinion they probably didn’t want anyway, what purpose does it serve on their end to see what you write? Plus, depending on the situation, it can border on creepy. When you have a thought you want to tweet that requires several tweets to get the point across, thread your tweets so anyone can easily start at the top and read the entire thought in succession. You can do this by posting your initial tweet, replying to yourself, removing your @-username and posting the next tweet in the thread. Do this after each tweet in a row — not just the first one —and your tweets will form a thread that is easy to read and share. Finally, a few simple rules that essentially extend to the rest of the internet: Don’t tweet while drunk, don’t steal tweets or photos posted within tweets and if you’re watching a TV show, try not to post overt spoilers (but you can also use a #spoiler hashtag or a designated hashtag for the show that others can mute using a third-party client or app.) No matter what your primary use for Twitter is, following these simple rules will make your social networking experience (and the experiences of your followers) more positive, relaxing and enjoyable.

Lanning settles in on defense ByAustin.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com The last time Iowa State senior Joel Lanning suited up to play linebacker, he hadn’t yet stepped foot on a high school football field to compete. Eighth grade was the most recent time Lanning patrolled the middle of a defense. Now, just seven practices into the spring football season, the guy who began last season as Iowa State’s starting quarterback is penciled in on the depth chart as the starting Mike linebacker. “He’s the No. 1 Mike linebacker for us right now,” linebacker coach Tyson Veidt said. “[He is] doing a great job running with the ones and it’s certainly his job to lose right now.” Lanning was far from a conventional quarterback last season. As it progressed, Lanning became one of the Cyclones’ top threats on the ground, so he’s used to the contact he’ll become well accustomed to as a linebacker. “You got to get used to it,” Lanning said. “Running up in the trenches, there is still 300-pound dudes there trying to kill you. I kind of got used to that a little bit.

It’s kind of like running the ball too, you just have to go hit someone.” Lanning said the coaching staff approached him about two weeks before spring practice started and asked him about potentially playing linebacker. In the few scrimmages the team has had, Lanning said he’s “made a few tackles,” including sacking backup quarterback Kyle Kempt on Tuesday. He’s considered the starter now, but roughly six months stand between now and the season opener on Sept. 2 against Northern Iowa. “It would not shock me [to see Lanning as a starting linebacker],” Veidt said. “I don’t think it would shock any of the coaches on the defensive side. He’s not making many mistakes. Naturally he’s still learning and he is making mistakes, but he learns from mistakes, so he’s not making the same one over and over again.” Lanning said the move “hasn’t been that big of a challenge,” comparing it to a switch in an offensive playbook as a quarterback. Lanning sees the same possibilities on defense next season but plans to get thrown in on offense as well. “If everything works out,

Joel Lanning practices with the linebacker group during the first practice of the 2017 spring season. After entering the 2016 season as the starting quarterback, Lanning is now the No. 1 Mike linebacker, coach Tyson Veidt said Tuesday.

hopefully I’m the starting Mike and getting my reps on offense when they call me in there,” Lanning said. Lanning has also been working on special teams during the spring. “Coach Campbell told me, ‘If everything works out, you’ll probably be throwing up after all the games

because you’ll be playing so much,’” Lanning said. Redshirt freshman linebacker Tymar Sutton is the No. 2 player at the Mike position. Willie Harvey holds down the other linebacker spot in the Cyclone defense. Both have been there to help Lanning get acclimated to

the other side of the ball. “The first day he came out knowing a lot,” Harvey said. “A lot more than I thought.” Harvey said the teaching hasn’t all been one sided. “He’s like a coach to me sometimes,” Harvey said. The real debate between the two might be who gets to wear the No. 7 jersey on

defense next season. Last season, Lanning wore it on offense, Harvey on defense. Lanning said the strength coach suggested a competition in the weight room. The player who can squat more gets to keep the number. “[Harvey] says he’s not switching,” Lanning said. “We’ll just have to see.”

Deshaunte Jones ready for spotlight By Aaron.Marner @iowastatedaily.com When the 2016 Iowa State football season came to an end last November, some surprising names stood out among the Cyclones’ statistical leaders. One of the biggest surprises was true freshman wide receiver Deshaunte Jones. Jones, who played quarterback at his high school in Cincinnati, Ohio, quickly adjusted to the receiver position last year and contributed in a big way for Iowa State. “It was challenging,” Jones said of the transition from quarterback to wide receiver. “I think it kind of gives you an advantage, playing receiver, because you kind of know what the quarterbacks are thinking.” Wide receivers coach Bryan Gasser said Jones’ speed was a big reason he was able to play right away. “I think Deshaunte’s got a really high ceiling,” Gasser said. “You saw last year he led the team in explosive plays for us when you talk about plays over 20 yards.” Gasser also said Jones was “one of the most explosive freshmen in the country last year.” Jones finished second on the team behind fellow wide receiver Allen Lazard in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. He put together one of the best freshman receiver campaigns in Iowa State

history. “I didn’t know [if I would play right away,]” Jones said. “But I knew that I had a chance to play so I came in camp in the summer and just worked hard… and I got a shot to play.” Listed at 5 foot 10, Jones stands several inches shorter than most of Iowa State’s receivers — Lazard, Matt Eaton and Hakeem Butler are all 6 foot 4 or taller — but his quickness proved to be critical for an Iowa State team that needed help in the slot. Lazard said it didn’t take long for Jones to impress the rest of the team. “I think it was after the Baylor game, I was like, ‘Wow.’ I realized he was going to be really good,” Lazard said. “He always showed kind of flashes

throughout camp and the first two or three games, but once he had one of those catches he had versus Baylor is when he really eyeopened to me.” Even though Lazard and Jones play very different roles for the Cyclones, Jones said he’s learned a lot from his veteran teammate. “He’s actually helped me a lot,” Jones said. “He’s helped me recognize coverages and stuff like that … we always talk about play concepts and stuff like that.” As far as 2017 goes? Jones said the goal is to just keep getting better. “I just want to be better than I was last year,” Jones said. “I have to build and get better each and every day and that’s what I’m trying to do to get better from the year before.”

Deonte Burton invited to play in Portsmouth Invitational By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com

Ryan Young/Iowa State Daily

Deonte Burton attacks the hoop against Purdue in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Iowa State’s versatile forward Deonte Burton’s collegiate career isn’t done just yet. Burton was invited to the Portsmouth Invitational, an eight-team, 12-game tournament featuring 64 of college basketball’s best seniors, on April 12-15 in Portsmouth, Virginia. The tournament will feature a representative from every NBA team, according to the news release. In last year’s Portsmouth In-

vitational, the Cyclones were represented by Jameel McKay — who now plays in the Philippine Basketball Association — and Abdel Nader — who plays in the NBA’s D-League with the Boston Celtics organization. Burton was the X-factor for Iowa State in the 2016-17 season, and continued to get better as the season went on. At the end of it, Burton became one of the top players in the Big 12. He averaged 15.1 points and 6.2 rebounds in his senior season, netting himself All-Big 12 Third Team honors. He became the second player in school his-

tory to rack up 40 blocks and 40 steals in a season. Burton also scored in double figures in 26 of 35 games. Burton had his 1,000th career collegiate point in the Big 12 Tournament final against West Virginia. He also hit a career-high 40 3-pointers in 2016-17. He hit 7-of-9 3s against Kansas on Feb. 4, snapping the Jayhawks’ 51game home winning streak. In his final game as a Cyclone, Burton had 25 points and four rebounds in a loss to Purdue in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

STYLE

ISU alumni in the industry Q: At what age did you start becoming interested in fashion? A: As a toddler, I was gifted a pair of Air Jordans, which I think triggered it all. I remember being in kindergarten and drawing animated NBA players, obsessing how their shoes looked with their jersey, what socks they might have on, along with assorted sweatbands, etc.

Colin Behr: Designer at Nike

Q: What was your favorite memory at Iowa State? A: I have a few: Being on the sideline when ISU football beat No. 2 Oklahoma State in Ames, Veishea 2013, studying abroad in London [and] being in Kansas City for the men’s basketball back-to-back Big 12 titles in ‘14 and ‘15. Q: Is being a fashion designer just as fabulous as one would expect? A: Yes, if that’s what you’re passionate about and enjoy doing. There are so many undocumented hours of work that go unseen, weekends of not going out due to exploration, research and execution of a project — more so in school, but this absolutely still happens in the real world. It can be a lot less fabulous than what you might see sugarcoated in a design video on the internet. Q: What’s your proudest moment of your career so far? A: Getting my job offer from Nike. This culminated after years of dreaming about this exact position, and to get it right out of school was very surreal. Q: What piece of advice would you give to up-and-coming designers? A: Don’t stop. If this is something you’re really passionate about and want to do, then keep chasing it. Find what makes you tick and give it your all. Everyone’s path is different. I was turned down by around 20 companies before landing my first internship with New Balance. Nike even turned me down for an internship, and less than a year later, I was signed on as a full-time employee with them. Q: Who’s your style icon? A: Pharrell + Nick Wooster + Ouiji Theodore + Errolson Hugh Courtesy of Colin Behr

Read more about Behr’s style and experiences in the article online.

Iowa State alumnus Colin Behr graduated in 2015 with degrees in industrial design and apparel design.

Q: Tell us a little bit about yourself and your work. A: I am definitely a travel, adventure and adrenaline junkie. A couple days after I graduated, I moved to Los Angeles and have been here ever since. I dress people for award shows, premieres, press tours, music videos, etc. I’m a middle man between designers and the talent, helping connect certain people to brands that work for them

Cassy Dittmer: Personal Stylist

Q: What was your favorite memory at Iowa State? A: My favorite memory is being a design director for The Fashion Show. It’s something I still talk about today and am very proud of. I’ve worked at many NYFW shows and I still think ISU runs a stellar and professional production. Q: At what age did you start becoming interested in fashion? A: I remember being interested in fashion at a very young age. My mom has always been my inspiration. She’s a lot cooler than I am. Fashion discussion was a normal part of my childhood. I’m pretty sure she’s the only person in my hometown watching runway shows and following fashion news daily. Q: What does a typical day look for like you? A: I live in Venice Beach and am a stubborn westsider, so I commute to West Hollywood where most showrooms and shops are. Sometimes in there I will have a fitting with a client and will try to be getting returns done as well. My car and I are best friends. Q: What was a defining moment in your career? A: A defining moment for me has definitely been my transition to becoming self-employed. Clients and their teams start looking at you in a different light when you aren’t the assistant anymore. Q: Being a celebrity stylist and personal shopper sounds like a dream job. Is it just as fabulous as anyone would expect? A: I don’t think there is a single job out there that is as glamorous as people think. If it was easy and fabulous, then more people would probably be doing it. Your schedule is crazy, unpredictable and normally not up to you, but I love making talented and interesting people feel confident and well dressed when they walk out the door and onto the carpet or stage. I am writing this interview as I sit next to Billy Ray Cyrus on a flight from LA to Nashville. Moments like that happen sometimes, and it reminds me that my job is pretty cool.

Iowa State alumna Cassy Dittmer is constantly jet-setting around the country for various freelance styling jobs.

Q: What does a typical day look for like you? A: Depending, my mornings are usually spent tackling emails from our developers in China or researching trends in footwear and skateboarding. After a quick lunch from a visiting food truck, I’ll either be in meetings with our line managers, sketching new styles or scouring the material library.

Derek Huenecke: Designer at Vans

Q: How did you get involved with fashion and design — more specifically the designing of shoes? A: Back at Iowa State, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by several classmates and underclassmen that were all passionate about designing shoes. Several of those classmates went on to design for Keen, Nike, Supra, and one even works with me here at Vans. We carpool. Nothing quite prepares you like actually working, though. My internships pushed me farther in footwear design than I could have ever gotten while in class, but my education set me up to succeed. Q: What helps keep you inspired? A: Being in a good community of designers, in a city full of creatives, without ever lacking something to do, makes it very easy to stay inspired. Q: What was a defining moment in your career? A: My team and I recently went on an inspiration trip to San Francisco, and while we were grabbing coffee, I noticed one of the employees was wearing a pair of New Balances that I designed during my internship. That was the very first time I had seen someone out in the world wearing my shoe. The footwear world is so competitive, and she could have chosen any other shoe out there, but she chose mine. Q: What piece of advice would you give to up-and-coming designers? A: Be confident in what you know, but know that you don’t know everything. Q: Any embarrassing moments throughout your career? A: On my first day of my internship with Adidas, I got off at the wrong bus stop (for Puma employees no less), took a wrong turn and had to jump a fence, ripped a hole in my pants, and managed to be 15 minutes late. Iowa State alumnus Derek Huenecke graduated in 2013 with a degree in industrial design.

IRHA p3 $1,300 on T-shirts for Helser Hall, more than $3,000 for the Masquerade Ball put on by Oak-Elm Residence Hall and $300 on mugs for Eaton Hall. IRHA representatives are able to submit their own bills asking for funding for a specific event for their own halls. This occurs often but can lead to specific halls having more activities and events than others. Ashley Rolf, open-option freshman and resident of Wallace Hall, said she doesn’t understand why IRHA has access to potentially large amounts of money. “It doesn’t seem right that these people would

have access to these ‘fees’ if I don’t know their names,” Rolf said. Similar to Stout, Rolf said she doesn’t see the results of the work that IRHA members are doing. “I don’t feel as if I’m benefitting from these decisions being made,” she said. “I find myself often staying in my room with limited residence hall activities being offered.” IRHA members are required to attend each meeting after having gone over the pre-set agenda themselves and with their constituents’ opinions in mind. But changes to bills can be made during debates, and bills that are introduced in a meeting can be voted on the same night. With Iowa State reach-

ing record enrollment in the past year, and continued growth expected, IRHA members will soon be representing more students than ever before. “I hope that in the coming year or two they make themselves more known on campus,” Rolf said. “I’m sure all students would like to know what they’re doing.” Jacob Zirkelbach, IRHA president, said all students are welcome to attend and express opinions at their weekly meetings. Meetings take place at 7:30 p.m. every Thursday in the Memorial Union. “We post our minutes on irha.iastate.edu, where our emails are also located for comments from constituents,” Zirkelbach said.

Both IRHA and Student Government have made efforts in the past year to interact with constituents as much as possible.

For IRHA, Zirkelbach said that Hall Council Representatives attend each meeting to report about what they found out at various hall

meetings that week. Anyone can follow IRHA on Twitter and Facebook to receive updates on the work that goes on each week.
