ISU students react to attack in Brussels By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com

after the 2007 mass shooting, said they learned from and implemented some of their methods from this incident. Questions were raised after the shooting as to whether any concerns could have been noticed beforehand and if the shooting could have been prevented. Deisinger said these same questions came up after Columbine, the Virginia Tech shooting and Sandy Hook. “The earlier we can identify developing concerns, the earlier the concern can be manage and de-escalated,” Deisinger said. The ISU Threat Assessment process is currently “designed to identify individuals of concern, investigate individuals

The world was rattled Tuesday when three explosions in Brussels killed 31 people and injured over 300 others. The event hit close to home for some, especially to two ISU students who were in the airport hours before the attacks. The blasts occurred in the Brussels Airport in Zaventem and the Maelbeek metro station about an hour apart; BBC News reported 11 people were killed at the airport and 20 others were killed at the metro station. Jonathan McCann, a junior in computer engineering, was visiting Rachel Damman, his girlfriend and sophomore in accounting who is studying abroad in Italy, for Spring Break. The two arrived in Brussels airport Monday for McCann’s flight back to the U.S. The two departed, with Damman taking a train from Brussels back to Italy, around 3 to 4 p.m. the same day. Damman learned about the attack after she arrived in Italy. She reached out to McCann, who said he was just landing in Frankfort when he heard the news from her. “I was in shock about how close we were to that,” McCann said. “It was definitely hit home way too close for us and our families. It easily could have been us.” Among those, was one Iowa State student who referred to Brussels as “her second home.” Morgan Scharnhorst is an ISU aluma, who studied elementary education before graduating last May. After graduation, Scharnhorst spent the summer overseas in Brussels on the US Army Benelux base in Brussels. There, she worked with the Camp Adventure program to provide hourly daycare services for military families. She said most of the families she served were highranking officials or NATO families. When she first heard the news, she said she was glued to the TV. “I felt sick and my heart sank…” Scharnhorst said. “I have a lot of friends and ‘family’ over there because of my summer stay, so I immediately messaged all of them to make sure they were okay. While I was really freaked out, I’m glad they all could message me back right away and assure me they were okay.” It was a cause of coincidence that McCann and Damman ended up in Brussels, even though Belgium had not be a part of their travel plans at all. McCann said they were in Paris for the weekend traveling. However, due to air traffic controller strikes in the country, dozens of flights were cancelled, including McCann’s. In order to get back home, the pair were routed

“Preparation is key for any situation we face in life” By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com It is no longer a matter of if, but a matter of when. In the early 1990s, Gene Deisinger, retired threat management director at Virginia Tech, former associate director of public safety and current deputy chief of police at Iowa State, began working with a team to develop an approach to safety that would evolve into what is now — threat assessment and management. Threat assessment, a process designed to identify, investigate, assess and manage instances of concern before they happen, is widely used across the nation and has been in action at Iowa State since about 1994. The process can be used to identify any sort of threat to campus or workplace security, as no situation is the same. By intervening early, any potential danger is minimized. When Deisinger and his team, which included current Ames Police Chief Chuck Cychosz, set out to develop a model of threat assessment, it was a relatively new approach that Deisinger had never heard of before. Joking that the time period was preGoogle, Deisinger said in order to learn about threat assessment, the team had to find training sessions across the country where they would go to learn about violence in the workplace and on campus. An article published by the Daily in 1996 discusses this early program and what it meant for Iowa State. Loras Jaeger, director of the ISU Department of Public Safety at the time, discussed the critical response team that Deisigner was a part of. “It came from a desire to make campus as safe as possible,” Jaeger said in the

article. Being one of the first campuses to implement threat management, Iowa State looked at models similar to what they were trying to accomplish, such as other general violent models, and then adapted that for higher education work. Part of the reason Iowa State began developing this model and looking for ways to improve the current system was because the fear hit too close to home after a shooting on the University of Iowa campus. In November of 1991, Gang Lu, doctoral student in physics, shot six people, leaving four dead and two injured, before fatally shooting himself.

Suspect in Tong Shao death pleads guilty to charges By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com Xiangnan Li, a former Chinese exchange student attending the University of Iowa, pled guilty in the death of Tong Shao, a former international student at Iowa State University, the Des Moines Register reported Wednesday. Li appeared for court in the city of Wenzhou, and bowed to Shao’s parents, saying he was sorry for killing Shao in September 2014. Iowa City Police investigators Andy Rich and Dave Gonzalez are in China for the trial, the Register reported. Original story The suspect in the murder of ISU student Tong Shao faced trial in China on Wednesday. Xiangnan Li, a Chinese exchange student at the University of Iowa and the boyfriend of Shao, stood trial at the Intermediate People’s Court in the eastern Chinese city of Wenzhou, CNN reported. Li turned himself over to authorities in China in May 2015 and was arrested on June 19, 2015, on charges of intentional homicide. Li was named as the main per-

son of interest in Shao’s murder by Iowa investigators. However, by the time her body had been discovered, Li had returned to China. Shao’s parents, Shao Chunsheng and his wife Yang Xue, are seeking the death penalty, CNN reported. The verdict for intentional homicide can range from anywhere from 10 years imprisonment to capital punishment, according to Chinese law. CNN reported the trial was expected to take less than a day. Shao Chunsheng and Yang Xue met with Li’s parents Tuesday, who begged for his forgiveness and offered to pay a compensation for Shao’s death, CNN reported. Shao, a 20-year-old international student from China, was found dead in September 2014 by the Iowa City Police Department. Her body was discovered in the trunk of her Toyota Camry, which was parked at Dolphin Lake Point Enclave in Iowa City, where Li lived at the time. Tong had been reported missing by friends on Sept. 18. In the following days, details emerged about the Shao’s last

days; Shao’s friends said she had traveled to Iowa City for the weekend of Sept. 6 and 7 to visit Li. A text message from Li’s phone was later sent to Shao’s friends in Ames on Sept. 8 that said Shao was texting from Li’s phone because her phone was dead. The message said she was taking a bus to Minnesota to visit friends while Li flew back to China for an emergency and that Shao would keep Li’s phone with her. However, an affidavit revealed Li had Shao’s phone while on layover in Chicago. The document also stated, “de-

Student Government voted on a bill to reinstitute office hours for all of the senators, discussed funding bills and heard an update on the Memorial Union feasibility study at the weekly Senate meeting Wednesday night. Corey Williamson, interim director of the Memorial Union and Student Government adviser, gave an update on a feasibility study that has been done to see how space in the Memorial Union could be better used to meet student needs. They have received feedback from more than 550 students. “This building is very important to the fabric of Iowa State University, and we wanted comprehensive feedback,” Williamson said. A proposed addition to the northeast corner of the Memorial Union is included in the latest version of the study. This would increase office and workspace, as well as provide a better entrance to the first floor from the parking ramp. “[The addition] would give us an opportunity to showcase what Iowa State is all about — that student experience,” Williamson said. The Senate voted on a bill that would reinstate office hours for senators each week, which passed by a vote of 32 to 1. Office hours had been required

for senators in past years but they were not successful, due in part to a requirement that half of those office hours must be spent out of office on campus, where student participation was minimal. This bill would also allow senators to speak with each other about legislation and policy. “This is one of the better initiatives that has hit the floor, in my opinion,” said Sen. Zackary Reece, junior in political science. Sen. Peter Myers said this bill is not necessary because the Senate cannot even talk to its constituents and that is the real problem. “This is one way we can engage students,” said Sen. Danielle Nygard. “We can train new members [of the Senate] in the right way to do it.” Funding bills for the women’s lacrosse club and Cyclone Market were read and will be voted on next week.

The Ames Police Department responded to a report of an armed robbery at Kum & Go, 4506 Lincoln Way, at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to a news release. The suspect entered the gas station and demanded money from the clerk while displaying a knife. He then left the store with an undisclosed amount of money, according to the Ames PD news release. The suspect is described by the clerk as a white male adult in his 20s and ap-

proximately 5 feet 8 inches with a stocky build. At the time of the robbery, the suspect was wearing a black ski mask, gray pants and a gray sweatshirt. He was last seen running north of the store into a wooded area near Westbend Drive. Officers then searched the area but were unable to obtain the suspect. Jason Tuttle, investigations commander for Ames Police, said the police officers spotted the suspect at one point in the woods, but because of the dark conditions, lost sight of the suspect.

No one was injured during the robbery. The incident remains under investigation by Ames and ISU Police. Tuttle encouraged stores in the area to always be on guard and observant of people coming into the store, especially during the late night and early morning and after a robbery such as this occurs. Ames Police also encourages anyone who has information concerning this incident to call 515-2395133 or the anonymous tip line 515-239-5533. Check back at iowastatedaily.com for more information.

‘Paperboy’ to perform By Caroline.Shaw @iowastatedaily.com Eli “Paperboy” Reed will bring R&B/soul music to the Maintenance Shop at 8 p.m. Thursday. Tickets are available online via Midwestix and at the M-Shop box office for $12 with an ISU ID and $15 for the public. Eli “Paperboy” Reed got his start with music by absorbing everything he could from his father’s vinyl collection in Brookline, Mass. Since then, Reed has

grown into a globally recognized artist and performer. Early in his career, Eli Reed earned his nickname “Paperboy” in the Clarksdale, Miss., music scene. He was given the name because of the newsboy style of hat he frequently wore. In addition to Clarksdale, Reed has spent time in Chicago to attend college, where he worked as the minister of music for a church. Reed dropped his first album titled “Roll With You” in 2008, which is heavily influenced by his favorite

styles: soul, blues and R&B. This style continued in his later albums, “Come and Get It” and “Nights Like This.” Reed took some time after his last tour to write and produce another album called “My Way Home,” which will be released this summer. Eli “Paperboy” Reed’s unique background and style is sure to make Thursday’s performance a show worth seeing. Jeremy and the Harlequins will open the show.

Pipeline faces construction roadblock By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com

In an effort to speed up the construction process and complete the Bakken crude oil pipeline within one crop-growing season, Dakota Access LLC, a Texas company, is requesting a state permit to begin construction from state utility regulators. The Bakken pipeline, which was recently approved by the Iowa Utilities Board in a unanimous decision March 10, is a 347-mile pipeline that will extend diagonally through 18 of Iowa’s counties. Energy Transfer Partners, a company based out of Dalla that encompasses Dakota Access, is making swift actions to try and get the pipeline built as soon as possible. The requests to expedite the permitting process came earlier this past week but were rejected. “The board will deny the request for expedited treatment and allow the parties a reasonable opportunity to comment on the Dakota Access pre-permit compliance filing,” the board said, according to a Des Moines Register article. “These compliance filings are not perfunctory. The parties, and the board, must have time to review the filings to determine whether they are in compliance with the terms and conditions of the board’s order.” Dakota Access told the board that it had met all of the terms and conditions originally issued with the approval of the decision. The terms and conditions issued by the board include Dakota Access must: • Obtain and maintain a general liability insurance policy of at least $25 million • Demonstrate and file the unconditional and irrevocable guarantees from its parent companies for

remediation of damages from a leak or spill • Make modifications to easement forms on properties utilizing eminent domain • Continue to offer to purchase voluntary easements • File a revised Agricultural Impact Mitigation Plan to include landowner notifications and the separation of all topsoil from affected areas • File winter construction plans • File quarterly status reports • And last but not least, Dakota Access must file a statement accepting the terms and conditions the board has determined to be just and proper for the permit. The board responded by saying it will accept public comments through March 25, and that Dakota Access can file a reply by March 29, according to an Ames Tribune article. A permit to Dakota Access cannot be issued until all documents are filed and approved. While this may put a temporary hold on the construction pipeline, Dakota Access hopes to have the pipeline finished and functional by the end of 2016. The Iowa portion of the pipeline will cost about $1.04 billion and is anticipated to create 4,000 jobs. Along with the permit request, Dakota Access also asked to make several documents related to the pipeline confidential. Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, CCI, argued its request in a statement in which it calls the confidential and expedited treatment for the pipeline “foul.” “Iowa CCI members call this an outrageous attempt by Dakota Access to circumvent the rule of law and keep the people of Iowa in the dark,” the statement read.

Kai-Uwe Bergmann lectures on campus By Isa.Cournoyer @iowastatedaily.com The 2016 Richard F. Hansen Lecture was presented by Kai-Uwe Bergmann to announce the Richard F. Hansen prize winners and to explain how the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) tackles its projects to perform on a level between modernism and vernacular architecture. The lecture took place at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in the College of Design’s Kocim-

ski Auditorium. Bergmann served as the guest juror for the Richard F. Hansen Prize competition for students, alongside Chair of Architecture Deborah Hauptmann and Des Moines architect Erin Olson-Douglas. The winners, Daniel Morley and his partner, were announced and congratulated at the start of the lecture. The duo received a $2,000 cash prize for their design of an algae house and research center.

Bergmann focused on BIG’s way of creating projects and buildings that not only fit their environment but also help it. These projects include climate all across the spectrum, from the deserts of Qatar to the snow-covered slopes of Denmark. One of the projects Bergmann is working on is the “Dryline” of Manhattan. The project is a park that is built around the island’s coastline to help prevent damages from natural disasters.

ISU POLICE p1 and situations that have come to attention of others, and assess the information gathered.” The last step, if necessary, is to manage the individuals and/or situations to reduce any potential threat. Deisinger said by doing this, not only can the individual be assisted but they can also work to fix the systemic issue. He added that it helps build engagement across the community, and that it’s not just a police issue or a counseling issue, but a community issue. The example he provided is when someone has the flu. If an individual noticed his or her friend was coughing or had congestion, he or she would most likely step in and tell the friend to stay home and rest. As a result, that person prevented the friend from potentially spreading the flu.

When it comes to threat assessment, early identification and the intervention process are most important. However, Iowa State is still prepared for instances that require extreme measures. While it is a scary thought not many care to entertain, the reality of a shooter or any other threat to campus must not to be taken lightly, and is a concept that ISU Police has not only recognized but is highly prepared for. Last year alone, there were 23 shootings across university campuses nationwide, and 52 school shootings overall. Prepared for any outcome, ISU Police has implemented a Violent Incident Response Training known as VIRT. “Preparation is key for any situation we face in life; the more prepared we are,

the better we perform,” ISU Police’s website reads. About six VIRT instructors, including patrol officers such as Ryan Meenagh, go out into the ISU community and give presentations to groups on how to be better prepared in the case of a violent situation. Part of the training involves informing the public on A.L.I.C.E., which stands for alert, lockdown, inform, counter and evacuate. A.L.I.C.E is a set of principles that are taught across the country to law enforcement, universities, schools, businesses and other organizations. “The presentation generally starts off with a little bit of history and a little bit of a general warning over the topic that we’re going to be talking about,” Meenagh said. “It’s not really an easy topic to discuss from a standpoint of, ‘You’re sup-

The negative health effects of consuming too much sugar have not deterred corporations from continuing to produce and sell foods that are high in sugar. Columnist King believes these corporations value profits over consumers’ health.

Sugar addictions feed profits Consumers bear responsibility of eating healthy By Scott.King @iowastatedaily.com

hroughout most of our history, human beings gathered food in very different ways than they do in the United States today. Past generations have mostly been hunter-gatherers, farmers or people who received their food directly from farmers. They had a good idea of exactly from where their food was coming. Nowadays, things are different. Food is mass produced by big corporations and shipped to grocery stores all across the country. We don’t see it being made; we only see the final product. This includes not seeing the large amounts of harmful sugar that are poured into much of our food. Before I get started on the reasons why I think added sugar is extremely harmful to our health, there are two sides to the sugar debate, just like many fields of science. Some researchers claim that added sugar has terrible effects on our health, while others claim that it’s not so bad or any problem at all. I believe the researchers claiming added sugar is contributing to America’s health crisis offer more convincing evidence. Their research shows that added sugar can lead to obesity, addiction, impaired cognitive functioning and is primarily used by food companies to get consumers hooked on their products in order to maximize profits. The main way researchers believe sugar has worsened the obesity epidemic is through sugar-sweetened soft drinks. Since 1950, consumption of soft drinks has increased fivefold. A single can of Dr. Pepper has 40 grams of sugar, and a 20-ounce bot-

tle of Gatorade, often advertised as a sports drink for those trying to stay healthy, has about 35 grams of sugar. A typical sugar cube and teaspoon of sugar consists of four grams of sugar. Extra calories from sugar lead to obesity, but research suggesting that sugar is addictive means that excessive sugar consumption may be trapping people in a vicious cycle of overeating. Research out of the U.S. National Library Medicine’s National Institutes of Health has offered evidence that sugar may be addictive for many people. Eating too much has caused changes in the brain similar to the ones you’d see with addictive drugs. This problem can lead to poor health because in order for people addicted to sugar to curb their desire, they will likely eat junk food. Other evidence shows that excessive sugar can impair cognitive functions. A study by Georgia State University found that rats on a high sugar diet had much more trouble remembering where a platform in a pool was than other rats. This led researchers to believe that sugar impairs memory. Howard Moskowitz, a Harvard mathematician, was hired to calculate the right amount of sugar to put in a product in order to create return customers based on their forming addiction. Too much or too little sugar in your Lucky Charms will cause it to not taste quite right, but the perfect amount might just get you hooked. Moskowitz said the industry calls the right amount of sugar the “bliss point.” I see such a business tactic, which leads to health problems, as unethical. Many researchers claim that added sugars are playing a big role in our county’s increase in heart disease, cancer and diabetes. However, nothing is certain yet as the scientific debate rages on, but I think we should all keep our eye on the information that this kind of research will provide us in upcoming years.

To know whether you are eating too much sugar, you may want to refer to the American Heart Association’s recommendation that states we consume an average of 30 grams of sugar a day. A 16-ounce glass of Mott’s Apple Juice has 56 grams of sugar. A Nature Valley protein bar has 23 grams of sugar and a serving of Raisin Bran has 18 grams (a serving is only one cup, and most people eat at least two cups of cereal at a time). You might be surprised that these products that are often deemed healthy contain as much sugar as they do. So what can be done to stop this sugar madness? Some might say the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should put more limits on food producers, and I’m inclined to agree. However, if this were to be done, there would likely be claims that the government is getting in the way of people’s free will to eat whatever they want. An easier way to prevent these companies from pushing their unhealthy food on us, our friends and our families is to stop buying their products. If there’s no demand for sugar-packed food, there won’t a be a reason to supply it. If we refuse to buy certain products food companies put on the shelves and make them realize we’re refusing to buy them because they are overly packed with sugar, the companies will likely choose to create new, healthier foods. Adapting a healthier diet is not easy, especially if sugar is as addictive as some researchers claim. It is, however, an important life choice to make.People seem to forget that the food they eat is actually what their body is made of. It can have drastic effects on their life. It seems big food companies might have forgotten this too. However, I think it’s more likely that these companies are aware that their products are hurting their customers’ health, but they have deemed profits more important.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Time to change status quo Superdelegates eliminate importance of pledged delegates By Susie Petra, ISU alumna and Ames resident Why do Americans think it’s time for a change, time to challenge the status quo? While we all want a democracy in which each vote counts, we Democrats are angry that our voice isn’t equal to that of the Democratic Party Establishment. So we question why the National Democratic Party-Power Establishment has created 717 unpledged superdelegates, unelected by voters in the caucuses/primaries. Iowa is allotted 44 national

delegates. Our caucus outcome determines the distribution of those ‘pledged’ delegates to the National Convention. In Iowa, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton tied, splitting the pledged delegates. A total of 171,000 Democrats voted in Iowa’s caucus, which means each elected delegate represents 3,900 caucus votes. Democrats are angry because those 717 superdelegates are chosen by the party establishment (Iowa has 8); none were elected at the caucuses/primaries. Some superdelegates are party leaders, some governors, some congress members and 437 are DNC party officials.

In a democracy we speak of “one-person, one-vote.” Yet, if superdelegates get the equivalent of 3,900 votes in Iowa, to my one vote, we’re very far from a democracy. An UNequal voice means UNequal power. Of course, that serves the purpose of the Democratic Party Establishment. They simply rely on their superdelegates to tip the scale, in favor of their choice. Many superdelegates have said they will cast their votes for Hillary, the Establishment choice. She has paid personnel who are courting superdelegates,

An Ames Main Street business owner brought a petition to City Council this winter requesting the Farmer’s Market be moved off of Main Street. Rick Swank, the owner of Swank’s Jewelry, told The Daily in a previous interview that the market caused traffic congestion so some customers could not park and he lost business on Saturday mornings. Swank said his petition got 170 signatures, including those of 17 downtown business, before he submitted it to the council. Other business owners said at an open forum on March 1 that they will alter hours or create sidewalk displays to help attract more customers during the market. However, public support was mostly positive during that March 1 meeting and the City Council unanimously voted to keep the Farmer’s Market on Main Street in 2016. The City Council made the right decision in keeping the Farmer’s Market in downtown Ames. The Farmer’s Market is a staple in many cities’ downtown districts and is quite popular among Ames residents. Main Street provides a scenic and historical backdrop for the Farmer’s Market in a central location while providing dozens of shopping opportunities for residents, both in stores and at the market. First, numbers seem to support the current location. Lojean Petersen, the Farmer’s Market manager, told The Daily many business owners support the location of the market. She said there is an 87 percent, or 48 total businesses, approval rating, according to a Chamber of Commerce survey. Additionally, Petersen said the market attracts 72,000 customers during its 24-week season each year. If the Farmer’s Market is so popular — both with business owners and with customers — why should the City Council change the location in future years? While parking may be more difficult on busy Saturday mornings, having between 2,500 and 3,000 people per week pass businesses on Main Street can only help their brand recognition and maybe even their sales. Additionally, where could the Farmer’s Market move? Is there another area in Ames that can provide additional parking as well as offer the scenery and businesses that Main Street can? Petersen told The Daily that other locations either do not provide the needed electricity or parking and may interrupt CyRide routes. For the businesses that do not want the Farmer’s Market on Main Street, it seems that compromise might just be the answer to their problems — not moving the entire market. Petersen said there will be more signs and spaces in between market booths so customers can access the businesses behind them. One City Council member even suggested creating a shuttle to improve parking and access for the elderly or those with disabilities. Creative solutions like these are the answer to Farmer’s Market location concerns. Keeping a popular attraction in one of our most historic locations around town is something our community can be proud of.

Warren finding leadership role Justin Chandler impresses; Campbell talks spring game By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com After taking a week off for Spring Break, the ISU football team returned to the gridiron this week to resume spring practices. On Tuesday, the team practiced on its outdoor field in the warm weather. With the new staff, the Cyclones know there’s a lot of work to do to implement a new set of formations and plays. “I think we’ve made progress,” said ISU coach Matt Campbell. “We’ve got a lot of work to do. Obviously, it’s only getting off our fourth practice. I feel like at least the foundation of attitude and effort, how to come to work every day, we’re making progress.” Here are some news and notes so far in spring practice:

LEADERSHIP ROLE

ISU running back Mike Warren, who is entering his sophomore season, is coming off one of the best seasons for a freshman running back in ISU history. But his success has put him in the spotlight both nationally and with his teammates. Now the team is looking at him to take the reins as one of the leaders on the team. “Guys kind of look toward him,” said ISU running back coach Lou Ayeni. “He just needs to have a consistent effort every day. I tell him all the time, ‘As long as you’re consistently good all the time, you’re going to be great.’” It’s been a learning process for Warren to get to that point, though. As a freshman, he essentially just went on the field and played — not for anyone else, just him. Now that he has ascended to Iowa State’s most talented player, he has been thrown into the leader role for the Cyclones, whether he wants it or not. “Everybody’s looking at me to lead the team,” Warren said. “My mom always says you’re a leader even if you don’t want to be, so I guess I just get thrown into that spotlight.”

Warren hasn’t stopped his lofty personal aspirations, though. He set a rushing goal at 1,500 yards for the 2016 season and 2,000 yards for his following years. “Things haven’t gotten easier,” Warren said. “But I’m always up for a challenge.”

IMPRESSING AT TIGHT END

Campbell and his new staff haven’t been shy in how they want to change the team’s offensive formations. They plan to use the tight end as a flex position, moving the player from the line of scrimmage to the backfield and out on the flank based on different situations. But finding a one-size-fits-all player for that specific position isn’t easy. Four-star recruit Sean Foster will arrive in the fall, but Justin Chandler and Cliff Fernandez have filled in during spring practice. Chandler has been the most impressive so far, showing his skill on and off the line. He only played in about 40 snaps last season, but entering his redshirt senior season, he looks to be in line for more playing time. “For a guy who hasn’t played a whole lot, we’re putting a lot on him,” said tight ends coach Alex Golesh. “He’s a big body. He’s got really good hands. He wants to be really good. He fits well in our offense.” Fernandez, a junior college transfer, was a quarterback just two years ago. He has a large frame — 6 feet 3 inches and 233 pounds — and he isn’t afraid to use it. The only problem, though, is Fernandez has hardly any experience at tight end. “Cliff is not afraid, he just has no idea,” Golesh said. “So far he’s shown that he has the want to, he just has no idea. It’s everything, literally, you’re teaching him everything.” Chandler is a bit bigger than Fernandez — 6 feet 4 inches and 266 pounds — and he has more experience, making him the favorite to impact come fall out of the tight ends at spring practices. “I just came in here and kept working hard and just try to make them notice me,” Chandler said. “That’s it.”

SPRING GAME UPDATE

In past years, with former coach Paul Rhoads at the helm, the annual spring football game seemed more like a practice than a game. Each side started at the 25-yard line and future impact players didn’t have as big of a role. But Campbell said he wants to do things a little differently. At Toledo, where he formerly coached, Campbell simulated a real game at the annual spring event. And he’d like to do the same thing at Iowa State, health barring. “If we’re healthy enough to do so, I’d love to go out and compete,” Campbell said. “In front of our crowd, and put

some o f these guys in situations where they can make plays. It’s funny, sometimes when you turn the lights on and you get in the stadium... you watch guys execute.” But Campbell said the spring game can have a larger impact impact on the program besides just another glorified practice. “We’ll have a lot of our former players back,” Campbell said. “The exciting part for me is this is the day we can have our incoming freshmen, our current team and our former players involved in our program, which is really important for me.” Max Goldberg/Iowa State Daily

ISU running back Mike Warren’s successful freshman season has pushed him into a leaderhip role. Warren has also set his sights at the 1,500-year mark for next season.

Cyclones land overseas recruit By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com The ISU women’s basketball team picked up a new recruit this week, point guard/shooting guard Sofija Zivaljevic from Montenegro, a source close to the team told the Iowa State Daily on Wednesday. Zivaljevic will sign in April, the source said, and will join the team for the 2016-17 season. “[Zivaljevic] plays with great composure, adept at running the team whilst also being able to take the game by the throat and score points,” wrote Dan Bowmaker, a scout for Blue Star Europe. “She has an impressive ability to get to the basket and is able to score points in the lane. [She’s] a very solid shooter, both from 3-point land and mid-range jumpers. “Sofija will bring a maturity in her playing style that will impress in her freshman year.” Zivaljevic played on the Montenegro U20 basketball team as a 17-year-old. Zivaljevic averaged 8.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in nine games in the 2015 European Championships.

ISU shortstop Brittany Gomez prepares to catch the softball against IUPUI on Feb. 12 at the Bergstrom Football Complex. Gomez continues to adjust to her new position on the field, as her 84.4 percent fielding percentage is the worst on the team.

Gomez continues to adjust By Sean.Sears @iowastatedaily.com

Point guard/shooting guard Sofija Zivaljevic will join the ISU women’s basketball team for the 2016-17 season. Zivaljevic is an oversea recruit from Montenegro.

Zivaljevic joins an ISU recruiting class that already has two players from Europe, Adriana Camber from Sweden and Aliyah Konate from Germany. The Cyclones also welcome Nia Washington, a McDonald’s high school All-American from Virginia, and senior transfer Heather Bowe from Vanderbilt for the 2016-17 season.

It’s a breezy sun-glazed day at the Cyclone Athletic Complex. The batting cages are starting to empty, the pitchers are finishing their exercises and Drake music is blaring in the background. The softball team has just concluded practice, and everyone is starting to pack up and leave. That is, everyone but senior-standout Brittany Gomez, who remains on the dirt, fielding ground balls. Gomez, a center fielder turned shortstop, is always working on something in the field during every practice. Whether she’s practicing her throws from a stand-still position, working on transferring the ball from her mitt to her throwing hand or just simply fielding grounders, Making the shift from

the outfield to one of the most integral infield position on the diamond is difficult, especially since Gomez has played nothing but the outfield since arriving at Iowa State. Gomez is seeing far more balls hit her way at shortstop than she ever did in center field, having to react much faster and throw harder in a more compact motion. It’s a lot to handle, and Gomez has had her struggles. “The hardest thing for me has been making as many errors as I have been,” Gomez said. “When I was in center, I would maybe get five balls in 10 games, but in the infield I get five balls in one game.” The volume of plays the senior has had to make is much more than she was accustomed to in the outfield, which has resulted in a learning curve. Gomez’s fielding percentage is 84.4 percent,

the worst on the team, and she currently leads the team with 11 errors. Gomez also leads all ISU infielders in putouts with 45 and is second in fielding assists with 39, so it has not all been bad. Plus, with everything else Gomez is doing with the bat, currently slashing a .383/.383/.408 with 20 runs scored and 16 stolen bases, she more than makes up for the errors. However, in Gomez’s mind, that is not an excuse, so she puts in the extra work every practice, working on the mechanics and mental side of the position. And she always tries to stay positive after she makes a mistake. “I think being in control of when I mess up is the hardest challenge for me,” Gomez said. “But I feel a lot better now than I did at the beginning of the year, so that’s progress.”

Ames’ DIY music scene is thriving Ranch-style house’s basement features local punk music By Paiten.Gavin @iowastatedaily.com Home to alternative and punk music shows, The Record Mill hosts numerous live music events every month for local Ames and Iowa music lovers. Located at 603 Luther Dr. in Ames, this hidden gem is home to the family of Underdog Story member Jonah Miller. Owner Donna Miller began opening up their home in the summer of 2015 after the scene’s original house venue, The Barn, was torn down. “After our old spot was torn down, we were kind of in a standstill where we weren’t sure what to do,” said Tyler Stodghill, senior in child, adult and family services. “The guys in Underdog Story came through and gave us a place to have shows.” The venue is a seemingly normal ranch-style house, but the basement has been transformed into a venue with an impressive sound system. The basement is where Iowan alternative music lovers congregate to watch bands from all over the Midwest perform. Each show costs about $5 to hang out in a casual environment, meet new people and listen to new music. Similar shows are also booked in a couple Des Moines venues such as The Un-

derground Rockshop, Lefty’s and The Vaudeville Mews. The do-it-yourself punk music scene in Ames is thriving thanks to the commitment of a few local music lovers. Jesse Ledbetter, former ISU student, is a local musician and a primary contact for booking shows at The Record Mill. He has had a significant hand in the growth of local punk music in Ames. “Jesse is doing so many great things for young kids who want to start bands and make music,” said Katymae Moore, friend of Ledbetter’s. Originally from Mount Pleasant, Iowa, Ledbetter was only able to attend shows during high school in Iowa City. Once he started college at Iowa State, he looked for more opportunities to get involved with local music. “I was in metal bands and playing heavier hardcore and punk shows, so I really wanted to find a community like that here when I was going to college,” he said. Ledbetter is involved in multiple musical projects, including an emo band called Stars Hollow with Wyatt Timberlake and Stodghill. The shows and music in Ames have created a community for anyone to feel welcome. “Music is something that really connects people and it makes it easy to make friends when you both have a passion for something so important,” Stodghill said. “I honestly think some of the best friends I’ll ever have are the ones that I have made through the DIY community.”

ISU students to direct ‘Three Days of Rain’ By Sha.Meng @iowastatedaily.com ISU Theatre’s student directed production “Three Days of Rain” will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday in 2140 Pearson Hall. Tickets cost $7 for adults and $5 for students at the door and can be purchased with cash or check only. “Three Days of Rain,” a Richard Greenberg production, has been named as “one of the finest American plays of recent years” by many reviewers and has been performed several times since 1997. In 1995, Walker, Ned’s son, returns a year after Ned died to an age-long unused house in New York, where Ned and his partner Theo used to live and work as designers. Upon discovering his father’s journal, which contains clues and hidden

truths about his family history, Walker tries to find solutions to these family secrets after he hears Ned’s will with his sister Nan and their friend Pip, Theo’s son. The play then jumps back to 1960, when stories of a younger Ned and Theo reveal the secrets from when the journal begins. With only three performers telling a story between two generations, the show is a completely different style that deviates from traditional ISU Theatre productions. Having an intimate audience with few actors in a compact space could provide the audience with a deeper connection to the actors compared with a show in a larger venue. The three performers acting as two different characters across two generations means a lot to the actors and actresses in “Three Days of Rain.” “It’s pretty challenging being Walker and being

of “Three Days of Rain.” Sklenar said one of the important parts of the script shows how the characters deal with building their lives and figuring out what their next step is. “[A] lot of people in college and around here are trying to build their careers,” Sklenar said. “That’s what we find [in this play] [with] knowing how to face potential failure and the struggles with that.” Despite personal struggles and mysterious family secrets, complicated and unexpected relationships within the two generations add more depth to the show. “I’m really excited for the audience at the end of the first act to have very strong ideas about what they just saw and make their own truth of the play,” said Noel VanDenBosch, senior in performing arts who plays Nan and Lina.

ferent roles is a challenging aspect of the show. “A big challenge is trying to get the differences between the two,” Jackson said. “When the audience sees the [performances] in Act One and in Act Two, they actually believe [my characters are] different people, not just [because] we put on different clothes. So I think if we could be able to find those differences, it would also be great for [the] audience.” Having multiple generations of characters helps uncover the secrets and gives the audience a chance to understand the parents’ relationship to their children and vice versa. “It’s certainly about families and how the problems propagate through generations and how we can understand, or really more misunderstand, our parents,” said Taylor Sklenar, senior in chemistry, English and performing arts and director

They need to create an affordable, eco-friendly environment. The majority of attendees were architecture students, along with professors and chairpeople of the

over the phone, according to the affidavit. Li had called Shao, who must have answered the phone accidentally but did not realize it the line was open for about 30 minutes while carrying on the con-

versation. “Li listened in to the coversation Shao was having with another male. During this overheard conversation, Li heard Shao complaining about Li and saying things about him

that were not nice,” according to the affidavit. Li flew out of Cedar Rapids airport Set. 8, according to the affidavit. He arrived in China on Sept. 10. However, due to the lack

of extradition treaty between China and the United States, U.S. authorities were unable to bring Li back to face charges. Makayla Tendall and Danielle Ferguson contributed to this article.

lem people would need to look at is space: where are we going to put these developments?” The conference stemmed from the city project organized by A Mid-Iowa Organizing Strategy (AMOS) known as “A Place to Call Home: Options for Housing

Stability in Ames and Story County.” The organization has worked with the Ames City Council to not only organize this event but has also been involved in other projects to help with the housing needs all across central Iowa. One particular project,

Mainstream Living, has helped provide safe, stable housing and support services to individuals with disabilities. Corrieri is not only a City Council member but also represents Mainstream Living on the city’s planning committee. Corrieri expressed that she

is pleased to find so many within our community willing to work together to identify possible solutions. With the housing trust fund for Story County being a major possible solution, a community development workshop will take place April 14 at the Ames Public

Library to discuss some of the logistics of a possible plan. The all-day meeting will cover information needed to work with financial institutions to invest in lower-income communities. More details will be available as the event approaches.

College of Design. Megan Zeien and Jake Spangler, both sophomores in architecture, explained what inspired them the most from the lecture. “BIG is a huge architecture firm and I wanted to know more about how its studios work,” Zeien said. “To be told that it’s OK to take risks and to push boundaries is something I think we need to hear.” “He’s iconic,” Spangler said. “His quote about not

sticking to the status quo is something I say to myself and others every day.” Bergmann ended the lecture with a few words of enlightenment for students who are in architecture and others who are within the field of design. “Think about how to use your skill set to create new possibilities,” Bergmann said. “You’ve seen us at BIG make our dreams come true, and I hope you make yours come true as well.”

sponsibility for the attacks. In the following investigation, authorities have been working to identify three suspects. Two men—who were suicide bombers that carried out the attacks— were identified as Brahim and Khalid el-Bakraoui, brothers and Belgian nationals, BBC News reported. The third suspect, who remains unidentified, left before the explosions and remains on the run. The bomb he wheeled into the airport failed to detonate until after most people had fled, Al Jazeera reported. The manhunt for the suspect continued into Wednesday. McCann said the last few days have been difficult, and he’s just now beginning to “decompress and debrief about it.” With Damman still in her study abroad the next few weeks, and her plans to

travel Europe in the weeks following, McCann said he’s worried about her. Despite his personal struggle, McCann said there are others who are experiencing something much worse. “There’s other people who have had it way worse than I did,” he said. “It was a traumatic experience, how I could have been there, but I wasn’t there and I was safe. There’s definitely people out there who were there.” Despite the attacks, Scharnhorst said she would go back to Brussels in a heartbeat. “I fell in love with the city because of beauty and the people in the city,” she said. “I still think Brussels is beautiful and I think everything will calm down. ” However, McCann said he is not eager to return to Europe in the immediate future.

through the Brussels Airport. “The craziest thing is that we should not have been there,” McCann said. “We should have never been in the Brussels at all during that trip.” Scharnorn said it was eerie to see the attack happen to a place she knew. While watching the news, that feeling remained with her as she recognized locations featured on television. Officials believe Brussels, the capital of Belgium and home of the NATO headquarters, was the target due to the recent arrest of a suspect in connection to the November terrorist attacks in Paris. The country has raised its terrorist alert to the highest level, BBC News reported. Islamic State, commonly known as ISIS, claimed re-
