Kyven Gadson pins his way to a national title By Beau.Berkley@iowastatedaily.com
T
here’s one particular moniker that has followed Kyven Gadson throughout the wrestling season. ISU coach Kevin Jackson first coined it back in November during media day and his teammates said it after every dual meet in which Gadson won his match — which was all of them. ESPN broadcasters continued the trend during all of Gadson’s matches at the NCAA Tournament this past weekend. “Kyven Gadson is a man on a mission.” Well, mission complete. Gadson pinned Ohio State’s Kyle Snyder (30-3) Saturday night in the second period to become the 197-pound national champion. The bout was close with not much offense until Gadson hit his signature move. Emphasis on the “signature.”

Controversial bills could affect ISU professor works to prevent ISU students if signed into law false confessions By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com
By Mariah.Griffith @iowastatedaily.com ISU professor Christian Meissner is doing research that indicates people may not know as much as they think they do. In conjunction with an international coalition of labs, Meissner is studying the effectiveness of current interrogation methods and the development of better tactics for the High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group, or HIG. “High value in this case means a threat to the U.S. government or population,” Meissner said. The commission operates under the FBI, the CIA and the Department of Defense. They are tasked with a threepart mission: conducting and overseeing interrogations, coordinating interrogation training procedures between agencies and conducting research to better the interrogation process itself. “We don’t need to torture. There are better ways to collect information, and we should respond as ethical and rational citizens,” Meissner said. Meissner stressed the im-
portance of his research, which is in its last year of this grant’s funding. He said governmental agencies have been relying on scientifically unfounded methods of interrogation for years. “Much of traditional police practice in the interrogation booth is not based on science. It’s based on beliefs about what works,” Meissner said. Traditional techniques developed throughout time based on tactics that appeared to elicit confessions and compliance from interrogation subjects. “That unfortunate reality is being replaced by a sciencebased, operationally-effective, human rights-compliant model of interrogation,” said Col. Steven Kleinman, in a HIG publication. According to Meissner, traditional practices are changing because too many agencies fail to gather all the evidence possible, and some may even elicit false confessions from innocent people. A common-knowledge way of identifying lies involves looking for signs of anxiety in the
CONFESSIONS p4
Ultrasounds before abortion, minimum wage and marijuana are the subjects of several pieces of legislation making their way through the statehouse, and could impact students in Ames and across the state. The bills have all passed at least one side of the divided legislature and while they may face opposition in the opposite chamber, if bills were to become law, they would greatly impact students in Iowa. One bill, House File 573, passed the Republican-controlled House would require women seeking an abortion to have an ultrasound before the abortion procedure. “Republicans should stop playing doctor,” said state Rep. Beth Wessel-Kroeschell, DAmes. “Since medical science changes, the legislature has never put medical standards of practice in the Iowa Code for any medical procedure. Democrats trust women to make their own health care decisions.” The bill would require doctors who perform a patient’s abortion to perform the ultrasound, show women an image that shows the age and image of the fetus and also give women
a chance to hear the heartbeat. Doctors would still have to perform the ultrasound, though the women do not have to see the results. Doctors who fail to follow requirements could face a fine. “It is my belief that we are defending two lives here, a mother and a child,” said state Rep. Joel Fry, ROsceola. “[The discussion] needs to focus on not just one individual, but two. It’s my attempt Fry to bring to the forefront the voice of one that is often not heard.” The bill passed, mostly on a party line vote, 57-39. “It’s a very gross intrusion into the privacy of women seeking medical care,” said state Sen. Herman Quirmbach, D-Ames. “It will go nowhere in the Senate.” Two other bills have passed the Democratic-controlled Senate, but their futures seem glim in the GOP House. An increase to the state’s minimum wage passed the Senate, this one also on a mostly party line vote, 27-22. The bill would increase the
minimum employers could pay workers to $8 per hour later this year, then again to $8.75 per hour by next summer. “I remember my first job out of high school, I worked minimum wage for $1.60 an hour. That sounds pretty pitiful, but adjusted for inflation, that’s the highest the minimum wage has ever been,” Quirmbach said. “We’ve spent the last 47 years paying our workers less than what I got. People at the bottom of the ladder deserve a raise.” Republican opponents say the bill would cause job losses and an increase to prices so businesses could offset the costs. Another bill passed by the Senate would reclassify the punishment if a person is arrested for possession of marijuana. “The old phrase is ‘make the punishment fit the crime,’ and I think there was a general feeling that for first time possession, the penalties were more serious than the nature of the offense,” Quirmbach said. The bill had more bipartisan support than the others, passing 36-13. If signed into law, possession of 5 grams or less of marijuana would now be a simple misdemeanor and punishable of a fine up to $625 and 30 days

By Molly.Hawks @iowastatedaily.com The battle to control unruly hair is a never-ending process and frizz is almost always the culprit. Frizz can attack anyone at anytime. It can turn hours of styling into an unruly mess. The secret to helping keep hair frizz-free is to maintain a healthy mane. Frizz can occur in any temperature from the humid heat of summer to the bitter winter chill. However, you don’t have to fight the battle alone. The cold air of winter lacks moisture and will dry out hair, plus the added static and tangling from coats and scarves can damage hair as well. However, you don’t have
to fight the battle alone. Many different products in a range of prices are available to avoid frizzy hair. Keeping hair hydrated is the key to beating frizz in any weather. All-natural products and oil-based are a few options that tend to work well on many. Try using a deep moisturizing treatment once a week to replenish what your hair loses throughout the week. A daily form of leave in conditioner or hair oil will protect your locks from further damage. When combing out knots caused by your fuzzy scarf, make sure to be gentle and comb from the bottom up.

The plan calls for the dormitory to be built east of Buchanan Hall and house 784 ISU students.
The new residence hall will be Iowa State’s first since Martin Hall opened in 2003, but will be the first “traditional” hall opened on campus since Larch Hall opened in 1971.

time basking in the sun or taking a dip in the pool. The sun and chlorine can parch your hair in no time. The way to combat frizz in this weather is to protect your hair beforehand. Add an extra layer of leave-in conditioner before getting in the pool and wet your hair in the shower before diving into the chlorine. This will allow your hair to absorb more conditioner and non-chlorinated water rather than all that pool water that will strip your hair of essential oils. Even after all of these precautions, frizz can be unpredictable and strike at any time. If you can’t com pletely beat the frizz, don’t be afraid to rock your mane just the way it is.

ISU student 1 of 20 in U.S. to attend agricultural forum By Berenice.Liborio @iowastatedaily.com An ISU student was one of the few selected to attend the 2015 Agricultural Outlook Forum Student Diversity Program. Malcolm Smith was chosen to attend the forum titled “Smart Agriculture in the 21st Century,” which took place Feb. 19 and 20 in Washington D.C. Only 20 students from across the nation were selected to participate. Smith, a junior at Iowa State, has majors in global resource systems, public service and administration in agriculture, along with a minor in sociology. The forum began in 2007 as a way to bring students into the discussion about agricultural policy, scientific research and future trends. Each year the Agriculture Outlook Forum invites industry leaders, educators and community members to go to Washington and be part of the two-day experience where they look at trends, policy, statistics and economics. “I see Malcolm in my
mind as one of our next George Washington Carver’s. He is passionate about doing work in agriculture,” said Dr. Theressa Cooper, assistant dean for diversity. Malcolm Smith, a Chicago native, is a junior at Iowa State with majors in global resource systems, public service and administration in agriculture with a minor in sociology. “At first I was kind of shocked. I couldn’t believe it. I was waiting for the email to come and I remember I was checking it all the time to see if it came,” Smith said. “And then one day I saw the congratulatory letter.” During the second day, Smith said they heard presentations on farm credit from agriculture companies or lobbyist groups. They talked about the point of agriculture and agriculture careers, Smith said. When Smith first came to Iowa State, he was majoring in economics and sociology. He then read about global resource systems and working with sustainability, helping developing countries, which persuaded him to talk to professors.
He applied for the Uganda service learning program his freshman year and got accepted. In the summer of 2012, Smith went to Uganda and helped plant fresh fruit and grain gardens. “So that was a fantastic experience, and coming back from there increased my goal in wanting to work in international development and helping developing countries build their economy and working abroad and learning about the countries agriculture sector and global disease,” Smith said. Smith said he definitely recommends the Agricultural Outlook Forum for other agricultural students. He said it’s an incredible networking opportunity. He got the opportunity to meet one of the senior executives of Walmart and sit with Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, asking questions about agriculture. The European Union secretary of agriculture also spoke at the forum. “Everything was paid for so I think that if that isn’t a push, then definitely networking and getting to meet

people and hand out your résumé and business card [is] a great opportunity,” Smith said. Smith said if it wasn’t for Cooper he would not have known about the opportunity. A tip he has for his fellow agriculture students is to be as specific as possible when writing the essay for the forum. “I would say always try it out. If you don’t succeed
you have more opportunities for other things to apply for. Definitely talk to your professors because I would have never known if it was not for Dr. Cooper to apply for this event,” Smith said. This past year, the Agriculture and Life Sciences College celebrated its 150th birthday and celebrated the life and legacy of George Washington Carver. One of the focuses was on how
the college uses the ideas George Washington Carver focused on to teach new students who will inspire others concerned about the environment and the social impact on agriculture. “You can see that passion and that drive to improve the lives of others through his work with agriculture just like George Washington Carver,” Cooper said.
Best Buddies program grows relations High-density housing By Hyeona.Jeon @iowastatedaily.com Best Buddies serves to pair college and high school students with community members of intellectual disabilities. This month is Best Buddies Month, and the group is campaigning on behalf of the Spread the Word to End the Word campaign, a campaign to stop the use of the word “retarded” to refer to persons with disabilities. Best Buddies is a 25-year-old international non-profit organization, dedicated to enhancing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities by providing opportunities for one-on-one friendships. The ISU chapter has 141 members, but 35 buddies pairs, which means 35 ISU students are paired with 35 community members. There are also about 30 association members who don’t yet have a paired friendship. There are eight college chapters in Iowa and 18 high school chapters. Anyone can become a member of the organization. The pairs meet once a month, and every September, they have a coordinated event to match the college student volunteers in friendships with persons with intellectual disabilities. They generally meet
one Sunday each month and do a variety of group activities, which usually include holiday-themed events. The pairs played Halloween games in October. For Thanksgiving, they brought food and ate as a group. They also had a game day where they played Apples-to-Apples and a heads up game in which a person has to guess what word is on his or her forehead. The pairs went to a Cyclone Hockey game in February and the event for March will be hosted with the Des Moines Iowa Chapter, when high school and college students meet together. The buddies will dress up for the event, and there will also be food and a deejay. The activities are created by Riley Radach, freshman in pre-business, and Caroline Moffitt, freshman in elementary education. The group celebrated the national awareness day for “Spread the Word to the End the Word” campaign March 4 at the Memorial Union. Members had more than 100 banners and gave people pens to raise awareness. They also use social media to spread their words and invite theirs friend through Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Matching can be a long process, said Matthew Backes, senior in electrical engineering. College

students must first make sure they have enough time to commit — four to five hours each month — and then the club must match buddies with the same sex, interest, hobbies, favorite things like music, sports and activities. The positive influences members receive is by getting to know more people, Backes said. “[The] relationship in an actual society situation and gives them sense of feeling at home and be-
longing to the community,” he said. “They feel very good to help people and communicate individually. They do personal contact with each other and feel rewarded.” Backes picked Andrew Brakey as his “Best Buddy.” Backes said they still keep in touch with each other. The easiest way to get involved in the Best Buddies Chapter is to go to the Iowa State chapter’s homepage or send an email to Backes.
The number of highdensity housing units are rising in the near future to accommodate both students and non-student residents. A high residency evaluation tool was approved by the City Council to reconsider zoning areas for high-density living areas in Ames at the City Council meeting Jan. 13. The council agreed to use the evaluation tool to look to in six different categories: location and surroundings, site features, housing types and design, transportation, public utilities and services and investment/catalyst. Large apartment buildings or a series of apartment buildings forming would be considered high density, such as Frederiksen Court and the Fountain View Apartments. The city plans to create new high-density housing, such as areas of South Duff, Mortensen Road and the Campustown area, which is currently under construction. New residency brings more housing options for community residents and students. However, new routes cause trouble for CyRide. “Since 2006, CyRide has increased ridership
by 70 percent,” said John Haila, chairman of the Ames Transit Board. “One of the things that makes response to ridership demand so challenging is that most of the high residency developments are distributed throughout the community.” Many of the new high residency locations do not have a bus route that goes out to them, Haila said. While CyRide cannot afford to keep up with the increase in ridership, the city has to build to keep up with population growth. “We have to think about more than just the students,” said Housing Director Kelly Diekmann. “Long-term Ames residents and people who are out of college are going to live in these locations too.” Though Diekmann mentioned the information on who is looking to live in apartments would be difficult to retrieve, council member Peter Orazem mentioned that those numbers would be beneficial when deciding where the new high density housing units should be built. The evaluation tool is being created and the council is using it to decide where new high-density locations can go so that all six of the qualifications can be met, as well as provide public transit to those locations.

GADSON p1
by the Mepham Group
“I didn’t really commit to anything until I saw that move show up,” Gadson said. “And coach Jackson calls it ‘the Gadson’ [because] you don’t see anybody hitting it. He said you have to hit it on the big stage for it to really stick. “Yeah, I think it’s going to stick.” Reaching the pinnacle of collegiate wrestling has been a dream Gadson and his late father, Willie, began working for when Gadson first began getting serious about wrestling. Achieving goals is never easy, and it certainly has not been easy for Gadson. To put it bluntly, Gadson has been to hell and back on his way to getting his hand raised under the lights at the Scottrade Center. Gadson’s long, painful road to becoming a national champion is one that is well known. After blowing out his shoulder in his first match as a Cyclone in 2011, Gadson would be forced to sit out the entire season and would later undergo two surgeries. Just a few months later in March 2012, Gadson learned that Willie had been diagnosed with stage four lung and bone cancer, which would take his life a year later. After his sophomore season, Gadson walked into Jackson’s office and said he was done wrestling. But Saturday night, as Gadson leaped into the arms of Jackson backstage at the Scottrade Center, both donning grins wider than the St. Louis Arch, that meeting seemed as distant of a memory as Gadson’s first match. But even after climbing to the top of the college wrestling mountain, Gadson was able to sum up the feeling of becoming a national champion to ESPN’s Quint Kessenich in one simple sentence. “I just want some ice cream, man.” Gadson said. Gadson’s career has come to an end, and aside
from dipping in to a few frozen desserts or two, he has big plans for his future that go beyond the wrestling mat. The sport he and his dad bonded over also served as a vehicle for his education, of which Gadson is taking full advantage. He is currently working on his master’s degree in higher education leadership with aspirations of becoming an athletic director, just like his mentor and current ISU associate athletic director David Harris. Gadson said he hasn’t completely ruled out the possibility of wrestling internationally, but he has time to figure that out. For now, all of that can wait. Gadson has some basking to do, both in the realization of his dream and potentially in a quart of Baskin Robbins. He has time to soak in everything with his teammates, friends and family, knowing that all of the hard work that he and Willie put in over the years paid off in more ways than one. “ I think my dad would be proud of me. He would be real happy,” Gadson said. “You did it, Boo. That’s what he would say.” “You did it, Boo.”
ject is in than their truthfulness. “Being nervous is not as much an indicator of deception as it is an indicator of nervousness,” Meissner said. According to the new research, some behavioral habits can help interrogators, regardless of agency, in gathering a more detailed account of the truth more often. Reciprocating information and developing rapport with a subject, using words with positive connotations and asking a
subject to tell their story in reverse chronological order are considered effective techniques. “Telling a lie is quite mentally taxing,” Meissner said. The increased stress of telling a story backward thus can help identify people who are lying. “On the other hand, what do you have to do to tell the truth? You just tell the truth,” Meissner said. Other studies by HIG researchers show better subject responses to a less threatening visual envi-
ronment, such as one with windows. General kindnesses, such as offering a beverage, also help. These different tactics of interrogation have been tested at several of the training facilities for interrogators and continue to be implemented as new practices are developed. “The intelligence community isn’t so interested in getting you to confess,” Meissner said. “They’re interested in who you’ve talked to, who you’ve met with, where you’ve been and what you know.”
Republicans have offered a 1.25 percent increase, while Democrats insist on a 4 percent increase. Discussions have taken place in committees in both houses to come to an agreement on funding, but so far, no compromises have been reached. “We were at 6 percent last year in the Senate. The House failed to pass a bill and broke the law. They’re suppose to do this a year ago,” Quirmbach said. “They came in this year at [1.25 percent], and in a show of good faith, we came down from 6 to 4. We are trying to show a willingness to negotiate, but so far they have not shown a willingness to negotiate.” Branstad’s spokesperson said that the governor’s budget he laid out during his Condition of the State
address in January adequately funds education in Iowa. “The governor recommended a biennial budget on the second day of the session that included more than $3 billion of funding for K-12 education,” Centers said. “The governor believes his proposal, which provides funding for two years, gives school districts the predictability and sta-
bility needed to plan for the upcoming school years.” Although the two sides seem far from a deal, Quirmbach said he remains optimistic on funding for universities. “I am still hopeful that we will get the funding for the universities to enable a third tuition freeze.” The Iowa Legislature is scheduled to be in session until at least May.

While it may not be the standard for world measurements, columnist Rogers believes the standard system should not be abandoned in the United States.
In defense of the foot Metric system would measure down U.S. tradition By Clay.Rogers @iowastatedaily.com
I
sit here, in the Alamo of sanity, as the metric fanatics prepare for the final assault. Defending the ramparts alongside me are the mile, the foot, the gallon, and Fahrenheit. I fear that soon there will be another attempt at metrification of the United States. I hope in writing this that others will join me in the gallant crusade of preserving tradition and beauty. I’ve come across many people who have a visceral hatred for our ancient weights and measures. The metric fan boys take it for granted that everyone agrees with them. Well, there are many of us who don’t. I want to make it clear that this is not a right or left issue. Republicans and Democrats are equally as stupid on this topic. Metrification is only a small slice of the long march toward efficient ugliness. Dancing has forsaken all beauty and is now just simulated sex. Cars are losing their character, acquiring an insectoid look. Restaurants are all beginning to look like fast food joints. Military dress uniforms are a shade of what they once were. How many men today even own a suit? I still belong to the minority who would prefer a ship voyage or a train ride to an airplane flight. Why shouldn’t we rejoice in things that are good? I’m surprised left-wingers aren’t more upset over this. Have we all become Henry Ford? Whatever is most efficient is best, and originality and tradition are obstacles to be demolished,
where all cars are black and “history is bunk.” The customary system of measurements is not particularly efficient, but does that make it bad? The customary system grew like a tree, from centuries of common men doing hard work. Take for example the acre. The acre is based on how much land could be plowed in one day by a team of oxen. The metric system did not grow, it was designed. Imposed from the top like a Soviet five-year plan. It’s very revealing that the communists loved metrification. The metric system was one of the strange byproducts of the French Revolution. The Jacobin terrorists saw it as a way to dismantle the Ancien Régime. During the course of the 19th and 20th centuries more nations adopted it. Until, finally, all that stood in the breech of freedom were America, Burma and Liberia. Those in favor of metrification believe themselves to be clever, but is this so? The metric system is based on toe counting, which is stupid, as so much “progress” is. Am I the only person who notices that many numbers aren’t divisible by 10? Like all good things, learning customary units requires patience and practice. It’s true that in scientific work the toe counting method is preferable. Whenever people are using incredibly small units or complex calculations, the metric system is superior. In everyday life, however, the customary system is far more useful. If we adopt the metric system the Iowa countryside will be measured in hideous “hectares.” How
could any civilized human want that? The struggle between the customary and metric systems is also a tremendous allegory to the battle between freedom and totalitarianism. Many will be familiar with George Orwell’s “1984.” For those who aren’t, the story takes place in a socialist dystopia. In the eighth chapter an old man walks into a bar and orders a pint of beer. The bartender looks at him and asks, “And what in hell’s name is a pint?” Orwell was way ahead of his time. Orwell had quite a lot to say about the metric system, and he sums up my position quite nicely. I reproduce here an article he wrote in 1947, “… The metric system does not possess, or has not succeeded in establishing, a large number of units that can be visualized. There is, for instance, effectively no unit between the metre, which is more than a yard, and the centimetre, which is less than half an inch. In English you can describe someone as being five feet three inches high, or five feet nine inches, or six feet one inch, and your bearer will know fairly accurately what you mean. But I have never heard a Frenchman say, ‘He is a hundred and forty-two centimetres high’; it would not convey any visual image. So it is as well with the various other measurements. Rods and acres, pints, quarts and gallons, pounds, stones and hundredweights, are all of them units with which we are intimately familiar, and we should be slightly poorer without them. Actually, in countries where the metric system is in force a few of the old measurements tend to linger on for everyday purposes, although officially discouraged.”
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Transgenic bananas Divest in fossil fuels are not the answer By Rivka Fidel, Ph.D. student in soil science
By Gabrielle Roesch-McNally, sociology and sustainable agriculture Ph.D. candidate I am an ISU student who is involved in bringing attention to the transgenic banana research effort that is going on at Iowa State. I learned about this research by reading an open letter that was written to the study funders Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, lead ISU researcher Dr. Wendy White, and the ISU Human Institutional Review Board, challenging the GMO banana feeding trials that are taking place at Iowa State. A group of students have organized the Transgenic Bananas: A dialogue on ethics, impacts and alternatives event at 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Memorial Union to further discuss the complexity of this research and have invited a diverse group of perspectives on the issue. This open letter, signed by more than 120 international organizations, is challenging the feeding trials of the GM ‘super banana’ for a few key reasons. This GM banana, which has
been genetically modified to produce extra beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the human body, is purportedly being designed in order to address hunger and malnutrition in Uganda and Eastern Africa. The letter authors claim that there are serious risks to consider when assessing the safety of this banana for human consumption. They suggest that the study design is woefully inadequate, asking, “what firm conclusions can be drawn from feeding trials of young people residing in the United States for poor rural farmers and consumers in Africa, given all the differences in lifestyle and diets between these two populations?” Signatories suggest that the intended end-use cultural as well as dietary considerations should be a part of the research design. The critical challenge to this research suggests that there are better ways to address malnutrition by saying, “these crops divert resources away from more locally appropriate and controlled agricultural solutions to nutritional concerns.”
Throughout the years, Iowa State has taken many steps to reduce its ecological footprint, from building a wind turbine to constructing LEED-certified buildings and installing more recycling bins. However, one category for improvement has remained entirely overlooked: fossil fuel divestment. Divestment is the act of pulling money out of stocks and bonds or other forms of investment — in other words, divestment is the opposite of investment. In the case of fossil fuel divestment, this means removing any money from fossil fuel company stocks or bonds. The primary purpose of divestment in fossil fuels is to stop financial support of unethical enterprises, and as major polluters, fossil fuel producing companies are irrevocably unethical. The extraction and consumption of fossil fuels has already polluted our air, water and soil, and if fossil fuel companies do not clean up their act, the damage will soon
become irreversible. Scientists in NASA and the International Panel for Climate Change predict that, in order to avoid global warming of over 2 degrees Celsius — the so-called “climate tipping point” — we must keep 20 percent of all remaining fossil fuel reserves in the ground. Fossil fuel companies like Exxon Mobil, Shell and BP continue to extract coal, oil and gas in a blatant disregard to these warnings, putting no more than token efforts toward renewable energy development. Fossil fuel companies are essentially putting our planet in danger for their profit, and will continue to do until, we, the people, stop their unethical behavior. That is why hundreds of student groups around the globe have launched Fossil Free campaigns asking their colleges and universities to divest from fossil fuels. ActivUs, a student organization committed to environmental and social justice, has launched a Fossil Free divestment campaign here at Iowa State.

The Iowa House has passed a bill that would require doctors performing abortions to ensure that the woman having the abortion has undergone an ultrasound. House File 573, which passed mostly along party lines, also requires that women be given the opportunity to see the ultrasound imaging and hear the heartbeat of the fetus. Any doctor who does not comply would be subject to both a fine and having his or her license revoked. While House Republicans such as Joel Fry of Osceola believe the bill will benefit both woman and fetus, as it is written and as it was introduced in the Iowa House, it makes no attempt to show that the law would be to the benefit of the woman undergoing the procedure or the doctor performing the procedure and provides no reasoning as to why it is necessary for Iowans. There is no obvious medical benefit to the woman and the bill does not provide an explanation as to what need or problem it will solve, or the effect it will have on Iowa women. Therefore, it could be assumed, the intent of the bill could only be to guilt the woman into changing her mind about the abortion by hearing the fetus’ heartbeat or seeing its shape on the screen. If guilt is the goal of the bill, should a decision as important as abortion be made on guilt alone? Proposals such as House File 573 and the individuals who propose or support them attach themselves unrelentingly — and incorrectly — to the notion that the decision to terminate a pregnancy is taken lightly or made in haste. Despite what pro-life advocates believe, abortion is not the easy way out. There is no easy way out. The decision to have an unwanted child and the decision to have an abortion are equally difficult. It is not the job of a medical professional to judge or force guilt onto a patient. Abortion is legal in the state of Iowa, so the decision made by the individual citizen — regardless of their motivations — should be respected and supported. House File 573 also does not allow for any specific exceptions from the ultrasound requirement in cases of rapes or incest that result in pregnancy, so not only would doctors be forced to apply increased pressure on a decision that a woman will already be carrying with them for the rest of their lives, but in some circumstances could also be forced to relive their most traumatic experiences. Beyond the misguided “holier than thou” attitude of the bill, it is too vague in its potential application to come within signing range of Gov. Terry Branstad’s pen. State Sen. Herman Quirmbach along with House Democrats expressed their concern with the bill. He told the Daily that he does not believe the bill will pass in the Senate.

Jameel McKay and Georges Niang block a UAB shot attempt during Iowa State’s first game of the NCAA tournament at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky. on Thursday. UAB defeated the Cyclones 60-59 in a first round upset.
FALLING SHORT Season of high expectations ends in first round of NCAA tourney
By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com Just hours after the NCAA tournament’s round of 64 had started, Iowa State’s basketball season came to a screeching halt. ISU players sat in stunned silence at their lockers, as walls of reporters asked what happened. Conference USA’s fourth-place team, UAB, was heading to the round of 32 as the No. 9 Cyclones prepared to board a plane home. Players tried to make sense of the loss, yet none gave exactly the same explanation. A résumé full of ranked wins and a Big 12 tournament run didn’t line up with the team’s early exit in the big dance. But in one of the most unforgiving postseasons in the sporting world, the NCAA basketball tournament can swallow talented
teams in their moments of weakness, turning Final Four hopes into a plane ride home before the first day is over. That was the story for Iowa State, giving the Cyclones a year to think about a return trip. Sitting with a towel around his neck, head lowered, Naz Long and the rest of the Cyclones painstakingly answered questions about the upset loss. “It’s a special team even though we fell short,” Long said. With what was considered ISU coach Fred Hoiberg’s most talented team, the Cyclones were burdened with expectation no ISU team had seen in at least a decade. For the most part, they lived up to those expectations. As graduate transfer Bryce Dejean-Jones was playing some of the best basketball of his career at the beginning of the sea-
son, before Jameel McKay was able to suit up for the Cyclones, the team was preparing for a much-anticipated matchup with in-state rival, the Iowa Hawkeyes. But an earlymorning video game battle at Dejean-Jones’ apartment turned into a load of trouble, leading to an arrest and suspension from the team, despite the charges being dropped later that morning. Without one of the team’s best players, the Cyclones charged into CarverHawkeye Arena and rolled the Hawkeyes in a 90-75 victory, erasing any doubt about the team’s capabilities. With McKay soon to become eligible, Iowa State was establishing itself as a force to be reckoned with. The nation saw it, too. ESPN’s College GameDay chose Ames, Iowa as it’s first destination on the 2015 tour — the first time
GameDay had ever broadcasted from Hilton Coliseum. Iowa State fed off the heightened expectations again, taking down Kansas for the first time in the regular season since the 2012 season. The expectations grew, growing faster with every win. By mid-season, any thought of the Big 12 preseason fifth place selection by league coaches had vanished as the Cyclones battled for a regular season conference title. There was the 21-point second-half comeback against Oklahoma in the team’s home season finale that would spark a late-season run and push expectations even further. “We can play with anybody,” said Georges Niang after the OU game. “If we’re down, we’re never out and I think this is a good time to turn it up. March is the
beginning of great things.” And the beginning of March was just that. The Cyclones reeled off five straight doubledigit comeback victories, including a Monte Morris buzzer-beater against Texas, surviving against Oklahoma and storming back from 17 down in the second half against Kansas to claim the team’s second consecutive Big 12 tournament title. The expectations: higher than ever. So as the team sat in the locker room in Louisville, minutes removed from the gut-wrenching loss to 14-seed UAB, there was no ignoring those expectations. “With all the expectations this team had and then you’re just bounced in the first game of the NCAA tournament, I just can’t tell you how terrible I feel,” Niang said.
With a strong contingent of ISU players returning next season, the early exit in the NCAA tournament won’t be lost on the Cyclones. Losing just Dustin Hogue and Dejean-Jones from the eight-man rotation and adding transfers Hallice Cooke, Darien Williams and Deonte Burton to next year’s lineup, Hoiberg may have his most talented lineup ever — again. With high expectations comes great responsibility, something the 2014-15 team learned the hard way. In 2015-16 those expectations will be higher than ever. “A lot of hard work was put into this season and I felt like this wasn’t the way this was supposed to go. With that being said,” Niang said before letting out a long sigh, “we’re going to have to come back even harder next year.”
Daley, men’s golf take second in Arizona By Mike.Randleman @iowastatedaily.com On paper, it was a record-setting tournament for the ISU men’s golf team. In reality, the Cyclones found a mixed bag of success that kept them near, but not at the top, of the leaderboard at tournament’s end once again. Setting individual and team records in the process, No. 43/46 (Golfweek/ Golfstat) Iowa State finished in second place out of 15 teams at the Desert Shootout, but was unable to fully capitalize on one of the easiest courses and competition the Cyclones will see all season. “We sat for half an hour after the round and I don’t think anyone said a word,” said senior Sam Daley. “I think we’re a little disappointed, especially letting [No. 74/77] Kansas beat us. It’s another second place. I think we’ve finished second 10 or 15 times in the last three years, but we want to win.” Although Iowa State
A RECORD-SETTING WEEK The ISU men’s golf team ended up eight shots off the pace at the Desert Shootout in Goodyear, Ariz., to take second place. Nonetheless, records were matched and set in what resulted in a 27-under-par finish: - Iowa State’s 54-hole team total of 837 sets the program record by one shot, which was previously recorded at the 2011 Desert Shootout. - Sam Daley finished the tournament with a 206, which tied his career low 54-hole total. He placed in a tie for second. - In the first round, Daley also matched his career low round of 66. - On the strength of a 66 in the final round, Scott Fernandez finished in a tie for 10th place, extending his number of career top 10s to 26.
was forced to settle for its third runner-up finish of the season, it was of little fault to Daley. Daley led Iowa State, tying for second place in a tournament he tied his career low 18-hole total (66) and 54-hole total (206). His performance came as a boost to a team lacking his contributions for much of the spring. The usually steady senior failed to post a sub-par round in his last three tournaments and did
not break 70 this season until this week. “I got a bit of a spite from coach [Andrew] Tank earlier on in the week just because I was carrying on a bit, I just wasn’t there mentally and not doing what I do well,” Daley said. “He told me to get my head back in a bit.” The wake-up call paid immediate dividends, as Daley was in the mix for an individual title in the final round until a bogie on his
final hole left him two shots away from medalist honors. “Having Sam play like that is a big step for us in reaching our potential as a team,” Tank said. “We know he’s capable of that and we need that type of performance out of him to reach our goals. We got that this week, so that’s one piece of the puzzle going forward.” The puzzle Tank alluded to refers to a search for top-to-bottom contributions that have been lacking for a team with high hopes after returning its top six contributors from last year’s NCAA Championship team. Scott Fernandez and Nick Voke have been catalysts for the team in combining for four victories on the season. Both finished inside the top 12 again this week, with Fernandez tying for 10th and Voke tying for 12th. Aside from their contributions and Daley’s finish this week, the rest of the roster has only one top-10 finish to its name and zero since October. This week, against a

field barren of top-25 teams, the Cyclones avoided a slow start that has so often crippled their tournament hopes, but could not keep up with the birdie barrage led by Kansas. “I think we got off to a little bit better start, I think
we were only a couple shots off the lead after the first round, so that’s a positive,” Tank said. “We didn’t shoot ourselves in the foot, so to speak. We just could never really get over the hump and get up on top of the leaderboard.”

‘NO REGRETS’ Trio of seniors satisfied with collegiate careers
By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com
Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily
Senior Brynn Williamson attempts a layup during Iowa State’s first round Big 12 tournament game against Oklahoma State on March 7. The Cyclones’ season ended with a first round loss in the NCAA tournament Friday.
As the seconds ticked down on the season and ultimately on Brynn Williamson’s career, her thoughts drifted away from the game, the score and other trivial things of that nature. Instead, she thought of the big picture. Her four years of donning the cardinal and gold was coming to a close. She thought of the good times, the bad times and the countless memories made as a Cyclone. “I just thought about [this being] the last time I’ll wear the jersey, the last time I’ll play with those girls in the locker room,” Williamson said. The season may have ended in disappointment, but her career was anything but. A key performer for all four years, the senior scored more than 1,000 points in her collegiate career and helped get her team to the NCAA tournament each season. While the accomplishments were numerous, perhaps the most memorable
aspect of her time in Ames will be the bonds formed with her teammates. “It’s been a great ride with the girls,” Williamson said. “That’s what I’m going to remember most is my time with them.” Two of those girls have been with Williamson through it all. Fellow seniors Nikki Moody and Fallon Ellis also saw their careers come to a close when the Cyclones dropped their first round NCAA tournament game against the Dayton Flyers. Moody, a four-year starter for the Cyclones, now owns the school record for career assists and motored the ISU offensive attack all season long. She led the team in scoring at 14.5 points per game and in assists at 6.8 per game. While both Williamson and Moody played large roles in each of the last four seasons, Ellis settled into a reserve role for much of her career. Ellis started out this season in a reserve role as well, before coming on strong down the stretch and earning a starting spot in the final
five games of the season. Perhaps Ellis’ most impressive performance of the season came on Senior Day against then No. 3 Baylor as she led the Cyclones with 18 points in the upset effort. On the season, Ellis averaged a career-high 5.2 points per game and was third on the team in rebounding at 4.2 rebounds per game despite the height disadvantage she often was forced to overcome. During the course of four years, the trio had ups and downs, good times and bad times, but as Ellis looks back on it all she wouldn’t change a thing. “I feel like these past years with these girls has ben amazing and I’m not regretting anything,” Ellis said. ISU coach Bill Fennelly has been here before. After completing his 20th season at Iowa State, he has grown accustomed to seniors moving on and new players coming in. Still, Fennelly knows this group will be tough to replace. “We’ll lose three great players and three kids who did a lot of good things at Iowa State,” Fennelly said.
Senior’s strong showing helps women’s golf to top five finish By Mike.Randleman @iowastatedaily.com Walking off her final hole at the Mountainview Collegiate, Chonlada Chayanun had a feeling her efforts fell just short. When the senior threeputted for bogie on her 54th and final hole, she was unaware of her exact standing on the leaderboard, but her intuition indicated an opportunity for victory was lost. “The last hole was pretty bad. I’m really sad now, basically,” Chayanun said stoically. “I just knew when I was done that I was leading but then I three-putted the last hole, so I lost that one.”
saying Chayanun does not make any bogies, but not by much. Chayanun only had six blemishes on her scorecard in 54 holes with no holes of double bogie or worse. She also found herself in the top five in par-3, par4 and par-5 scoring on the week. Reflecting on the catalyst for her high finish, as well as for her hopes to recover from missing out on a win, Chayanun said it has and will be her mindset that carries her. “Every time I play a tournament, I have a feeling that I’m going to win the tournament or I’m going to play great,” Chayanun said. “I don’t carry bad things to
After leading for much of the second and third rounds, the ill-timed bogie dropped her to six-underpar and one shot off the individual lead. While she was unable to top the field, Chayanun finished as the lowest Cyclone en route to No. 25/27 (Golfstat/Golfweek) Iowa State finishing in fifth place out of 20 teams competing at the Mountain View golf course in Tucson, Ariz. “She’s just amazing,” said teammate Celia Barquin. “When she is just playing good and birdies just one or two holes, she gets so confident, she doesn’t quit any shots. She doesn’t make any bogies.” Barquin exaggerated in

the next tournament.” Another golfer with realistic expectations to win tournaments is her teammate, Barquin, who was ranked No. 41 in Golfweek’s Thursday NCAA women’s individual rankings and is just ahead of No. 44 Chayanun. The freshman was never in serious contention for medalist honors, but she moved nine spots up the leaderboard in the final round with a two-under-par 70 to finish at two-under for the tournament and in a tie
for 10th place. Her scores of 72, 72 and 70 exemplified consistency, but Barquin said missed opportunities in the first round and a balky putter stood in the way of a good week being great. “[In] the first round, my score was even [par] and I feel like I should have been five-under,” Barquin said. I missed five really, really short putts. “Overall, I mean it was a good result, but I should have made more putts.” Though one of the
shorter-hitting players in the field, the par 5s were what kept Barquin afloat. She co-led the field of 105 golfers in par-5 scoring, playing the 12 par 5s on the week at Mountain View Golf Club in seven-under-par. With four tournaments wrapped up in the spring season, the Cyclones have three weeks separating them from their final regular season event, the Dallas Athletic Club/Southern Methodist Invitational on April 10 and 11 in Dallas, Texas.
