Man with gun reported near campus Incident appears to be isolated By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State received a scare Monday afternoon after a student reported seeing a man with a gun
near campus. An ISU Alert quickly followed the report stating that the student, who was riding a motorcycle going northbound near the intersection of West Street and Hyland Avenue, was “threatened by a person who pointed a chrome revolver in his direction.” The suspect was described as a white male in his mid-30s with facial hair, driving a silver Dodge
SUV, according to the ISU Police Department. However, Jason Tuttle, investigations commander with the Ames Police, contradicted the ISU Alert, stating that there was no interaction between the student on the motorcycle and the driver. After seeing the driver with the handgun, the student went to ISU Police and reported the incident,
Tuttle said. About an hour after the original alert was sent out, a second ISU Alert followed noting that after searching the area of West Street and Hyland Avenue, they did not locate the Dodge SUV or the suspect. They reported that the “incident appears to be isolated,” after no additional reports were received, and that there was no
imminent threat to the community. At the time of the investigation, Tuttle said that they didn’t believe any type of road rage was involved. Through the alert, police reminded anyone who witnesses unusual or concerning behavior to report it. Keep updated through coverage on the Daily website.

Safety study moves forward By Mica.Magtoto @iowastatedaily.com Following the Ames City Council’s approval of a safety study, the city and university will begin working together to identify and address safety improvements along Lincoln Way. The first phase of the study, with a budget of $31,841, includes data collection and analysis. The second phase, with a budget of $69,045, will “identify and evaluate traffic operations and/or physical modifications that address identified issues,” according to city documents. City staff have begun recording traffic volumes, crossing and multimodal data along the Lincoln Way stretch between University Boulevard and Sheldon Avenue. They are expected to conclude the data collection by the end of the semester. Upon completion of the data collection, SRF Consulting will be able to provide recommendations and strategies to improve pedestrian safety and congestion. The consulting firm has previously worked with the university on Osborn Drive to implement successful strategies, which have resulted in improvements. Cathy Brown, program manger of facilities planning and management, said she hopes to see similar results along Lincoln Way. Previous changes on Osborn Drive to accommodate increased enrollment have included widening sidewalks, removing street parking, educating students about the corridor and making changes on CyRide bus stop locations. Other solutions have included the Walk Your Wheels campaign, which helped decongest sidewalk traffic. Brown hopes to use their experiences to make appropriate parallel changes along Lincoln Way. The public is encouraged to participate to help provide feedback, according to city documents. An online survey is soon to be released focusing on the following questions: What are issues/ concerns that you have traveling across or along the Lincoln Way corridor? What would you suggest to resolve the issues/concerns you

College of Design program recruits minorities By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com

SU senior Markus Flynn, the head of Iowa State’s Black Student Alliance, noticed something when he took a seat on the bus in his freshman year at Iowa State. Sometimes, when there was an open seat next to him, nobody would sit next to him. So he started his own type of a case study. Over several semesters, he sat in different places on the bus to see if the location affected it more. “What I came up with was, typically, the seat right next to me was one of the last ones to fill up,” Flynn said. Flynn said he had noticed other instances where he thought he was being treated differently because he was a minority at Iowa State. In group projects, sometimes other members would assume Flynn doesn’t know as much.
As a black student in a predominately white college, Flynn has dealt with his fair share of conflicts. It’s part of the reason why he heads the Black Student Alliance, to help make change. “Everybody knows that Iowa is one of the most homogeneous states in the country,” Flynn said. “So everybody knows there’s going to be a lot of white people.” Out of the 30,034 students pursuing undergraduate degrees at Iowa State, 75.2 percent of them identify as white. That number has decreased by 12.9 percent in the past 10 years, but it is still the overwhelming majority. The rate of minorities receiving their undergraduate degrees from Iowa State has increased by 3.9 percent in past 10 years. In 2015, 3,826 minority students were pursuing an undergraduate degree compared to 1,826 in 2005, according to Iowa State’s fact book. “As long as we keep up with that pace
and don’t lose that drive, change will come faster,” said ISU senior Michael Day. “Not really everybody is against us, and we have to embrace each other as not only role models, but experience models.” Day is part of Hometown Design, a program in the College of Design that focuses on recruiting high schoolers to Iowa State, particularly minority students. It’s another program at Iowa State that is trying to bring in more minority representation to Ames. *** As the Multicultural Liaison for Iowa State’s College of Design during the past two years, Audrey Kennis recognized this need for more minorities in the classroom. It was prevalent in the College of Design, where 12 percent of students identify as a U.S. ethnic minority, according to the College of De-

Steve King: Cruz would win convention Republican race on brink of contested national convention By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com
Charlie Coffey/Iowa State Daily
U.S. Rep. Steve King speaks at the 2015 Ag Summit on March 7, 2015, in Des Moines.
U.S. Rep. Steve King — who inserted himself into the Iowa Caucus by endorsing Ted Cruz — thinks Cruz has the best shot to
win a contested convention and that John Kasich should drop out of the GOP race for president. On the Republican side, a candidate needs to win at least 1,237 delegates during the presidential nominating contests to win the nomination outright, or the nominee will be chosen at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. “As each one of these contests go by and as the polling shows within these states that have yet to [vote], it’s more and more likely
this will be a contested convention,” King said Saturday in a phone interview with the Iowa State Daily. “It’s almost to the point where the ‘conventional wisdom’ is ready to announce that it will be a contested convention.” Even if Trump has the most delegates going into the convention, if 1,237 delegates don’t vote for Trump, the delegates are then free to vote for whomever they choose during a second ballot. “If there is a second ballot, I think Cruz is the odds-on favor-
ite,” King said. “Cruz is much better organized then Trump is; he has the support among the delegates who emerge because they are real constitutional conservatives.” King did make a point to say that if Trump wins the nomination outright on the first ballot, the Republican Party should rally around his nomination through the November general election. “We should play by the rules

Lecturer predicts future By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com Some people claim they can predict the future, but one man has science to back his claims, which he will discuss in a lecture on campus Tuesday. Brian David Johnson will visit campus Tuesday to give a lecture at 8 p.m. in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.
The lecture, titled “Technology in 2025: Designing the Future,” is a part of the ISU lectures program’s National Affairs Series, will delve into what technology, including in its areas of work and society, could mean for the future. Johnson is a “futurist,” or someone who attempts to try to tell what the future will be like. His work is called future-casting, which uses “ethographic
field studies, technology research, cultural history, trend data, global interviews and science fiction to provide a pragmatic roadmap of the future,” according to the events calendar. Johnson currently serves as a futurist at Arizona State University’s Center for Science and the Imagination as well as a professor in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society.
The second of three candidates for the position of dean of the College of Human Sciences will be on campus to participate in interviews, meet with members of the university and host an open forum Tuesday. The open forum for the second candidate, Laura Dunn Jolly, will take place from 4 to 5 p.m. Tuesday in 0210 Bessey Hall.
The open forum is open to the public to attend. Jolly is a professor of textiles, merchandising and interiors in the College of Family and Consumer Sciences at the University of Georgia. Previously, she served as a faculty member at the University of Tennessee, University of Kentucky, Oklahoma State University and Texas Tech University. Jolly received her master’s in clothing, textiles and merchandising and

NEWS Lecturer explains free will illusion Tuesday, March 29, 2016
Atheist shares how people can better cooperate By Mollie.Shultz @iowastatedaily.com A well-known member of the atheist community visited Iowa State on Monday to speak about his belief that humanity can be improved if everyone believed in the illusion of free will. August Berkshire, director-at-large on the Minnesota Atheists board of directors, spoke in the Pioneer Room of the Memorial Union about his free will beliefs. Berkshire has been active in the atheist community since 1984. Berkshire, who grew up in a devout New England Catholic family, was heavily involved in his church as a youth. He was an altar boy and was able to experience what he believes are the theatrics of the church. During his senior year of high school, he began following more scientific trends, which led to him becoming agnostic. His beliefs caused him to have a brief family estrangement after revealing

August Berkshire, atheist activist, presents a lecture Monday in the Memorial Union about how humanity can improve if everyone believes in the illusion of free will.
his newfound activities to his family. “After a while, they realized that I as a person didn’t change,” Berkshire said. “My thinking on this one particular area had changed, but I was still their son. They eventually realized that that was who I am.” Berkshire said it took about three to five years
for him to fully convert from believer to atheist. In 1984, the atheist movement reached the Twin Cities, where he was living at the time and he helped co-found the Minnesota Chapter of American Atheists. The chapters of this organization later dissolved and his group became the Minnesota Atheists in 1991. Berkshire has been elect-
ed as the president of the Minnesota Atheists on and off since 1991. The Minnesota Atheists only allows a three-year presidential term, followed by a year of inactivity before being allowed to be president again. Berkshire hopes that the new, younger members are capable enough to handle being president so he can stay in his role on
the board. “That’s how you know a nonprofit is successful, when it outlives the founders,” Berkshire said. In his lecture, “The Illusion of Free Will and its Impact on Moral Responsibility,” Berkshire discussed his belief that free will does not exist. He talked the members of the crowd through his research on free will and gave them his case as to why it does not exist. Free will is the belief that every decision humans make is a conscious choice. Berkshire believes every action people make is programmed in them and is triggered by their environment. Berkshire used science throughout the lecture to support his beliefs. He highlighted three scientific studies conducted during the last 30 years that showed the brain reacted before the person being tested consciously decided to comply with the study. He believes this is proof of the illusion of free will. Berkshire also highlighted his belief that ego is the main reason why many people do not accept the belief that free will is an illusion. He said many concerns he hears revolve around people being afraid

that people’s behavior will change for the worse if people find out they are not in control of themselves. Berkshire believes there are multiple benefits to no free will. One of these is that if people cooperate with each other, instead of competing, positivity will be reinforced. Reinforcing positivity and cooperation, in his opinion, will help improve society because people will have no reason to act on the negative traits they were born with and exposed to in their youth. “Human brains are open to persuasion since learning has survival benefit,” Berkshire said. “So it’s useful and not pointless for us to behave kindly toward others and encourage others to behave kindly as well.” Feryl Cutkomp, junior in history, was impressed by how well Berkshire was able to tie together his lecture to make a new subject understandable. Cutkomp also said the lecture opened his mind. “I never really considered the idea that free will wasn’t real, and then after this, it’s definitely a possibility in my mind now that maybe its not as straightforward as I thought it was,” Cutkomp said.
GPSS elects new executives Senate passes funding bill, discusses MU By Rakiah.Bonjour @iowastatedaily.com The Graduate and Professional Student Senate met Monday to move forward on passing a Constitutional Amendment and vote for next year’s executive office positions. Vivek Lawana, current research conference chair, was elected as president for GPSS with 68 percent of the vote, beating out George Weston. Bharat Agrawal, current chief information officer, ran unopposed and was elected with unanimous consent for vice president. John Hsieh, junior senator, ran unopposed for treasurer. He was elected with unanimous consent. Weston was nominated to run against the previously unopposed Huanjiao Dong for chief information officer. Weston was elected for the position. At press time, the positions for University Relations Legislative Affairs Chair, which Shivani Ghaisas ran unopposed for; Professional Advancement Grants Chair, which Muhammed Walugembe ran unopposed for and Research Conference Chair, which Akshit Peer ran unopposed for, were not yet voted on. The years-long issue of representation and how senators are elected may be coming to an end. The current constitution has senators elected by their department, not their major, which leaves some majors that cross between departments left out. Instead of
going through the registrar’s broken link in the constitution, the amendment will look to majors for senators to represent through Iowa State’s eData warehouse. The amendment must pass three times in order to be added to the constitution. It passed in February with 98 percent approval and again Monday night with 95 percent approval. The bill will be passed to next year’s Senate in order to be voted on again and then approved. A new Senate bill was added to the agenda at the beginning of the night. A bill for spring allocations to student groups was passed at 98 percent. The bill will provide funding to multiple graduate student organizations. The revisions to chapter nine of the graduate student handbook are slated to be discussed and voted on by the Graduate Council in April. Faculty provided feedback to the proposed Bill of Rights and suggested that the Rights and Responsibilities of graduate students be split into “fundamental rights” and “best practices that are encouraged by the graduate college.” Corey Williamson, interim director of the Memorial Union, and Michael Snook, vice president on the Board of Directors for the Memorial Union, introduced the feasibility study conducted with students in response to the proposed upheaval of the current Memorial Union. Williamson said the Memorial Union is “a resource for everyone on campus: all students, all faculty [and] all staff,” which is why he thinks the project should be passed and funding should be allocated. Snook discussed the future plans for the upheaval, primarily turning the hotel

into space used by student organizations because “having a hotel centrally located on the campus is not the best way to meet the needs of the students.” Williamson described how the different floors of the Memorial Union would change during the course of five years of the project. The only student service located on the sixth floor would be Student Legal Services, to provide privacy to students in need. The fifth floor would house more student services such as Event Management and the Lectures Program. The fourth floor would house the international student offices. The third floor would primarily be devoted to student organizations. The first floor would receive an increase of 200 dining seats, and Recreation Services would be relocated to the first floor. The Maintenance Shop would be minimally impacted by the project; however, the bowling alley located in the basement of the Memorial Union would be essentially eliminated. “This would increase space that will accommodate growth for student organizations and recreational
space,” Williamson said. The changes to the Memorial Union do not come without a price, and Williamson said that price would likely begin as soon as the project is approved, which he hopes is in the spring of 2017. The fee has been estimated to be about $100 additional to the current student fee, but Williamson said the student fee would begin when “students identify an amount they feel is appropriate.” Williamson also said Iowa State has the lowest student fee out of the three regents, which if increased, would be similar to the other institutions and likely create a large change on campus. The graduate senators and students are concerned about their representation and communication with Student Government, which Student Government president Dan Breitbarth said is because of the graduation of one of his cabinet members and graduate liaison, Neil Vezeau. Both GPSS and Student Government are working together to resolve this communication issue. GPSS will next meet at 6:30 p.m. April 25 in the South Ballroom of the Memorial Union.

Death penalty for Shao’s alleged killer unlikely By Eric.Wirth @iowastatedaily.com Xiangnan Li, the 24-year-old University of Iowa student who admitted to killing former ISU student Tong Shao in September 2014, will not likely see the death penalty in his native China, The Des Moines Register reported Monday. Li admitted to killing Shao, who was his then-girlfriend, in court Wednesday. He bowed to Shao’s parents, saying he was sorry
for killing Shao in September 2014. Janet Lyness, Johnson County attorney, said it is expected for Li to spend between 20 years to life in prison, but the death sentence is unlikely because he turned himself in. Shao’s body was found in the trunk of her car in an Iowa City apartment complex in September 2014. Nearly eight months later, Li, who fled to China, turned himself in to Chinese authorities. Shao was a student at Iowa State studying engineering before her death.

DESIGN p1 sign’s multicultural website. “I think students recognize that this is a need,” Kennis said. “They look around the classrooms in the College of Design, and this is all around the university, not just Design. We are a predominately white institution, and you look around in the classroom and you’re one of the few [students of color].” So Kennis decided to create a program that could help increase the representation of minorities in the College of Design. Kennis worked in admissions for five years before coming to the College of Design, giving her skills in outreach and recruitment. Those skills helped her come up with Hometown Design, a program where College of Design students could voluntarily go back to their high school and tell students about design opportunities at Iowa State. She reached out to ISU students in passing to gauge interest before the program spawned in the fall of 2014. Many of the students were excited to go back and make an impact on their hometown. “I was talking to [Kennis], and we started talking about this program,” said Rachel Ramirez, junior in graphic design. “A lot students don’t know much about the College of Design at Iowa State. If they did, they don’t necessarily know what is available to you there. So I wanted to expose high schools students to all of the different majors that the college of design has to offer.” The interest turned into meetings where six students planned their trip to their hometown high schools over break. The group would discuss how to present to the class and help high schoolers realize that there are opportunities in college and specifically in the College of Design. All of the students in the program are minorities, which helps the program target minorities high school students, Kennis said.

Student members of the Hometown Design group take a photo together. Members volunteer to return to their high school and recruit students.
“The goal is to expose high school students to art and design,” Kennis said. “It’s a multicultural program because it’s made up of students primarily of color. It’s one to expose people that designers can be one of color, encouraging young persons of color in high school that it’s a viable option for them if they want to pursue that route.” *** The professional design field, which includes graphic design, architecture and other majors the College of Design currently offers, is made up of slightly more than 20 percent of minorities, according to the National Endowment of the Arts. Kennis said it is hard for minorities to get into the design field because they historically haven’t had a chance to work in those jobs. “Those have been more elitist type of career fields,” Kennis said. “Historically, you’ve had to have money to be able to go into those fields. Historically, people of color were not included in those spaces.” The Hometown Design program is just one aspect that Kennis has implemented to try to increase the number of minorities at Iowa State, but there has to be help from outside of the college as well to change the tides, particularly employers, Kennis said. But the change won’t happen overnight. “The industry has to be proactive and work with the institutions to build a pipeline,” Kennis said. “It takes

time to build a pipeline.” *** After creating the program, many of the volunteer students started to get to work on their presentation to high school classes. In the group meetings, each student would come up with his or her own scenario. Some revolved around making a new logo for a school in Texas, and others had to do with building the ultimate backpack. The point was to put the students in real-world scenarios to give them an experience of being a designer. In senior Michael Day’s scenario, the high schoolers had to build the ultimate backpack in a set amount of time. They could add anything they wanted. After building their backpack, Day would bring them all together and combine them into one backpack, putting together all of the gadgets. “A lot of the students had fun with it,” Day said. “One group had a fold-out backpack that fit a laptop and at the end we put all of the designs together.” While the project may not have been exactly a real-life scenario, it still made the high schoolers think with a design mentality. “It was really cool to see all of the students kind of take it in,” Day said. “Because it was their first time seeing something like that. They seemed to have a good time with it, and I was kind of poking fun at them to try and get them to be competitive.” *** After only a year, students in the Hometown Design program have already seen their work come to fruition. Day’s sister, who currently attends Northern Iowa, knew people in the class he was presenting to. After he presented to the class, he heard through his sister and talking to some students that the class actually enjoyed doing the project. “I bumped into a couple

John Kasich, saying he should drop out of the race because of the way he is affecting voting moving forward. “I’ve always thought that’s a very personal decision,” King said. “You have so much invested in it, but with Kasich, however, it’s a

of students when I went home that were in that class,” Day said. “I asked them, ‘Did you guys really enjoy it?’ And they said they really did. So that was kind of cool to see it work out like that.” Kennis said there has been a gradual increase in enrollment since the program started, but she didn’t exactly attribute it to Hometown Design. The program also brought students from Ames High School to the College of Design, so they could see and feel what it’s like to be in the college. While guiding the class throughout the day, Kennis said a few students expressed their interest in coming to Iowa State. “I had four or five students come up to me and say, ‘We’re coming to Iowa State,’” Kennis said. “And they are here now. I know they were a part of this project and they ended up matriculating it, coming to Iowa State. Now was it a direct correlation to this program? I can’t say. But I know it did impact their decision.” But the benefits of the Hometown Design program goes beyond helping young students come to Iowa State. It also helps the volunteer students gain experience in presenting and giving information, which is crucial in the design field. “This is a great professional opportunity for our design students to go out,” Kennis said. “A big part of our design is presentation skills, learning how to present [and] how to convey certain information. So this is building their professional skills as they prepare to go out into the career field.” Moving forward, Kennis wants to expand the program from just in-state students. There is a large portion of students that come from out of state, and Kennis wants to reach places beyond Iowa, like Chicago, Minneapolis and Kansas City. “Last year, we did it with people from the state, so we wanted to see how it work sending people across the state,” Kennis said. “The goal in the future is to open this up for all students. Open it up for in-state and out-of-state students. “A lot of times students are going home over breaks and they may or may not have a lot of time. So this is one way they can use their time and be doing something positive and giving back to their community.”
different scenario. It sure looks to me like there is zero path for Kasich. It would be a miracle for him to win the nomination, but he could broker a convention.” King also said it seems that Kasich is positioning himself a spot in a Trump administration, so he should be transparent on his plans for the future. “He’s keeping Cruz from taking Trump on head to head,” King said. “He’s making it more likely that Trump will win the nomination, so I think he should come out and be honest, just like [Ben] Carson was [about getting an administration job].”

U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, has declared he expects the senatorial GOP race to be “very nasty.” King will be challenged by Sen. Rick Bertrand.

Columnist Carstens argues that our favorite stories starting as books are exploited in movie franchises, causing the story to suffer. Some books-turned-movies that were then split into two parts include the final installment of “Harry Potter,” “The Hunger Games,” “Twilight” and the “Divergent” series.
Splitting the end of a movie ruins the integrity Two-part movie final installments undermine story By Courtney.Carstens @iowastatedaily.com
T
he world has had a long love affair with movies and how they offer us a way to immerse ourselves in different worlds for a few hours. This love is especially palpable when it comes to stories the world became attached to long before the film even hit theaters and Hollywood came up with a sneaky way to maximize profit by drawing them out as long as humanly possible. Movie makers have attempted to create a guarantee that customers would return to theaters for another concession stand spree to accompany a ticket to see the next installment of their favorite cinematic series. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II,” “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part II,” “Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part II,” “Kill Bill Vol. 1” and Vol. 2 are all movies that have been split into two parts. The ever-popular “Divergent” series will split its last book, “Allegiant,” into two parts and was recently adapted to the big screen. Originally only one book, “Allegiant”
has been split to accommodate the last film, which will be titled “Ascendant” and will hit theaters in June 2017. This quadrilogy movie trend needs to stop to maintain the integrity of films. (Do not read further if you wish to avoid spoilers.) Movie producers need to stop this trend of making book-based movies longer so they can profit. Breaking up books into multiple parts results in a lack of quality, and the storyline suffers greatly. Movie producers want money, but they should care more about their work and audiences’ reactions toward an altered plot rather than their wallets. The storyline suffered in most of the movies addressed in this column. Many scenes in “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part II” were added to seemingly drag on the storyline. A lot of the scenes were fluffy and useless to the meat of the plot. In one scene, Katniss and Peeta are seen on a beach watching the water and talking for awhile before Peeta gives Katniss the pearl. Multiple similar scenes were used throughout the movie when that wasted time could have instead been used to incorporate more important scenes that better align the film with the best-selling books. The last “Harry Potter” movie included a scene of Hermione and Harry dancing in a tent in a forest. While this scene shows that there
was some happiness during dark times, it was not an integral part of the storyline. The quality of these movies continues to go down hill, and many people are beginning to take notice. “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part II” only made $650,000 in worldwide box offices, while all of the other movies in the series made thousands more than part two of the split film. While this money trend is not necessarily the case for all of the films listed above, the more a book’s plot is split, the more likely the integrity of the story crumbles. The money these movies bring in shows that people seem to lose interest when they are split into multiple parts. Making these movies may add a little bit of cha-ching in the producers’ wallets because people want to see how the story they have been watching unfold on screen for years ends. Turn off the lights and bring on the salty popcorn and fizzy drinks, but let’s hope this movie stays in one part. If it doesn’t, the movie will come to an abrupt end right after the beginning credits start rolling with a message that reads, “Part two will be out in another year and there will be a part three. We hope you enjoyed your movie.” Unfortunately, we will have not enjoyed our movie at all because it didn’t align with the original story.
MPAA rating system needs update Old guidelines leave viewers confused By Ben.Moran @iowastatedaily.com A few weeks ago, I saw the movie “Deadpool” and loved every aspect of it. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the constant griping about the R rating the movie had acquired: some arguing that it’s a superhero movie and it’s supposed to be for children. I’ve begun questioning the Motion Picture Association of America’s (MPAA) movie rating system more frequently. No, I’m not saying “Deadpool” didn’t deserve an R rating. But the MPAA’s rating system isn’t fully understood, and numerous instances have made me question why a movie was or wasn’t rated a certain way. What warrants a movie to be rated R or NC-17? When it comes to PG-13, when is it too much? Is the MPAA rating system even effective in the present day? The MPAA was created in 1922 by William Hayes as a form of self-censorship. A grading scale known as the Hayes Scale was originally used, but it changed to the modern rating scale in 1968. These ratings were used to prevent government from interfering with the movie industry because questions were starting
to surface. A more in-depth description of the MPAA can be found on its website. The scale we know today consists of G, PG, PG-13, R and NC-17. A UCLA study looked at what each rating means, but only gives a brief, informal idea of each rating. The same goes for the MPAA “Classification and Rating Rules,” but this is a bit more in depth. Let’s face it, the MPAA has its own idea of what is taboo and what isn’t. Gay sex is worse than straight sex, but violence is better than sex. Naked women are more acceptable than their male counterparts regardless of the context. If the F bomb is used more than once — it doesn’t matter what the movie is or what’s included in the rest of the movie — the movie will receive an immediate R rating. “The King’s Speech” is one movie that was given an R rating by the MPAA. I thought the movie was very entertaining and informative. I would rate the movie PG, maybe (a very slight maybe) PG-13. The only scene that draws consideration for an R rating is the therapeutic scene in which the therapist upsets his patient and results in a string of profanities. On the other hand, “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me” is about the dreaded F word — at least a good portion of the series and movie is — and the MPAA only rated it PG-13. All of the sexual innuendoes

and violence — or stupidity — in the movie warrant an R rating. “The Breakfast Club,” “The Dark Knight” series, “World War Z” and “The Hunger Games” are more examples of stupid and contradictory MPAA ratings. In some cases, I get it. The rating system was primarily intended to be used by parents to deem movies acceptable or not acceptable for their children. I’d just prefer to see more continuity in the rating system. “Deadpool” undoubtedly deserved to be an R-rated movie,
but it also created a big controversy as to why a “superhero” movie was rated R. While “The Avengers,” “X-Men” and many other superhero movies were rated PG-13, “Deadpool” shouldn’t have been and the MPAA got it right, but the disparity highlights the rating system. Just because a movie is a certain genre doesn’t mean you should slap it with the general rating. The MPAA needs to reevaluate its rating process and standards. I like the system but not the process.
Divided politics presents sad reality The backhanded and confrontational atmosphere that has defined the 2016 presidential race seems to have bled down to a local race here in Iowa. On March 17, state Sen. Rick Bertrand announced that he would challenge current incumbent Rep. Steve King for the GOP nomination. Among a slew of accusations regarding the involvement of prominent GOP operative Nick Ryan and mega-donor Bruce Rastetter, King said he expects the race to be “very nasty.” But do Iowa voters really need another divisive Republican rivalry? While this sort of combative politics is nothing new, the attacks from Republican to Republican has left the idea of a unified GOP in shambles. From Twitter fights between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz to this new expectation of a “very nasty” local race, the divide between Republicans on the basis of mere personality seems to be counterproductive. Instead of opening a functional dialogue about what policies are best for the constituents, we are left with a reality-TV version of politics. The premature nature of King’s statements seems to exemplify this problem, at least here in Iowa. By attacking his fellow conservative on the basis of his financial donors, King has set the tone for an unnecessary divisive campaign. When the ridiculousness of the current presidential race is taken into consideration, U.S. politics begin to look more like a high school lunchroom. The U.S. political system seems to be ripe with personal attacks and bitter political rivalries. While one cannot expect every politician to get along — and, in a way, that is the advantage of a representative democracy — the unhelpful nature of finger pointing and name calling brings nothing productive to the conversation. While big names such as Trump and Cruz conduct their absurd bantering at a level that is seemingly distant to Iowans, the impending political battle between King and Bertrand is not. This seems to make the increasingly tense situation between the two all that more unacceptable. At a local level, Iowans should expect their representatives to accurately and productively discuss the issues at hand. Representatives shouldn’t waste time, energy and funding in political cat fights. The seemingly disingenuous nature of King’s attacks — Nick Ryan said King has requested funds from his office many times — portrays the backhanded nature of politics in the United States. While it is perfectly acceptable for King to raise questions about the nature of his opponent’s finances, framing this essential race as “very nasty” before it even begins does nothing to help voters.

BUNDRAGE MAKES STRIDES IN NFL PURSUIT Jenna Reeves/Iowa State Daily
Former ISU wide receiver Quenton Bundrage escapes defenders against Texas on Oct. 31, 2015, at Jack Trice Stadium. Bundrage is now pursuing his dream of playing in the NFL.
ISU career gives wide receiver shot at reaching dream By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com A sound of a single pop. A torn ACL. Just a handful of plays into the 2014 season, ISU wide receiver Quenton Bundrage was down and in pain. His season was over. Now, more than two years later, Bundrage has created a new outlook on life and his love for the game of football. He has the opportunity and drive to become a wide receiver in the NFL. “It’s definitely been an upand-down college football career,” Bundrage said. “I will never give up on my dream and that’s to be a wide receiver in the NFL.” Bundrage redshirted in 2011 and had minimal time on the field in 2012 during his redshirt freshman season. For Bundrage, those two years were meant to be learning years to understand the expectations and grasp the feeling of college football. Once Bundrage reached his redshirt sophomore year in 2013, he put his name on the map. He had 48 catches, 676 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, ranking himself among some of the better wide receivers around the country. During and after the 2013 football season, Bundrage received phone calls and text messages from some NFL scouts. Teams were impressed with his numbers and couldn’t believe he still had two more years left. For Bundrage, it became an unimaginable experience. It was a dream come true. “I wasn’t used to getting text messages and meeting NFL scouts, so it was a different experience for me,” Bundrage said. “I was honored to have the opportunity to talk with these types of scouts.” All that confidence from the 2013 season led Bundrage to wanting more, so the offseason before the 2014 season was in-
tense and challenging. Bundrage knew he could be better than the previous season and wanted to push himself to higher goals. He said he knew he had become one of the leaders on the ISU offense, so he needed to prepare like one. Bundrage started to increase his training both on and off the field. He practiced running drills to increase his speed and could always be seen communicating with quarterback Sam Richardson to solidify running patterns. Off the field, Bundrage looked at his diet to make sure he stayed in the best shape for the season that would make or break his chances at the NFL draft. He was ready for the beginning of the season. Then, Bundrage’s fears became a reality. It was the fourth play in the season opener against North Dakota State, and Iowa State ran a running play. Bundrage was on the right side of the field and went out to block. The cornerback tried to cut past Bundrage, who got his cleat stuck in the grass. “My cleat got stuck in the grass and I heard a pop in my knee,” Bundrage said. “Then there was intense pain for about 10 seconds. After that it didn’t hurt, so I thought I might be gone for a game and come back next week.” There was a pop in the knee and a slight scream from Bundrage, who was experiencing one of the most painful injuries in football. That pop was his ACL. He wouldn’t be out for one game. He would be done for the season. His world was flipped upside down, and his NFL dreams became a faded image. Bundrage then had to make a hard transition to having a more coaching-type role than a player role throughout the 2014 season. “I’ve always been a player and not a coach, so seeing the game from the sideline was something new for me,” Bundrage said. “I tried my best to help the wide receivers with different defensive schemes that I saw along the sideline that could help them in the game.” Along with coaching the young wide receiver core, Bundrage was rehabbing from his knee surgery. He started with simple stretching
and continued to increase the workload on a weekly basis. His trust was fully placed into the ISU trainers. He said he was grateful to have the trainers and support along the way to recovery. Bundrage said he recovered from his injury relatively faster than what the trainers thought, which allowed him to have a full and productive offseason before his last college football season. He was fortunate enough to have one last opportunity to prove the health of his knee and bring back some of those NFL scouts. His senior year wasn’t anything like his 2013 season, but he proved that his knee wasn’t an issue any longer. Bundrage recorded 548 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 2015, attracting a few NFL scouts. “My senior year in 2015 was a year of proving myself to the NFL scouts,” Bundrage said. “I could’ve improved upon my last year, but it at least showed the scouts that my knee was healthy and I’m capable of playing an entire season.” After this past football season, Bundrage focused on performing well at Pro Day on March 22. He said he knew this was his last chance to prove his worth as a wide receiver for NFL teams and he displayed his skills in front of almost every NFL team. Bundrage recored 17 bench presses, a 37.5-inch vertical jump and a 4.52-second 40-yard dash time, with some clocking it at 4.46 seconds. He said the numbers were good and showed that his knee is completely healthy, but he wanted to improve a few numbers from the Pro Day. He wanted to improve his vertical jump and his cone time. He said he wished he would have had a third try to jump for the vertical because he believes he could have passed 40 inches. His cone time was 7.07 seconds and he slipped on the grass, which slowed his time by a few seconds. About 15 NFL teams spoke to Bundrage after Pro Day to see how his knee was feeling and wanted to stay in contact with him for the next few weeks before the NFL Draft on April 28-30. Bundrage was humbled by the amount of scouts interested in him and hopes he can have a few private practices.

Quenton Bundrage evades two defenders against TCU on Oct. 17, 2015.
“It was exciting to see all those NFL teams at the Pro Day last week,” Bundrage said. “I was just humbled by the opportunity to play in front of these scouts and have any chance to continue my future in football.” Since Pro Day, Bundrage has scheduled three private practices with three NFL teams. One of the teams is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which he’s especially excited for because he’s going to his hometown in Florida to see his mom. Bundrage said his mom is his rock and that she keeps tabs on any news regarding her son and his draft stock. She’ll call him with any updates, and he appreciates having her as his agent, but most importantly as his mom. From now until the NFL Draft in late April, Bundrage will await phone calls from NFL teams for private practices. As for the actual draft, Bundrage has heard multiple reports that he could be drafted in the late rounds. If he goes undrafted, Bundrage will need a team to call him and invite him to its rookie camp this upcoming summer. That one phone call will be a major step toward his future, but he’s hoping he’ll be drafted and go to rookie camp without a phone call. Former ISU football player and current Cleveland Browns tight end E.J. Bibbs went through the
process of being undrafted and making it through rookie camps. Bibbs has been helping Bundrage prepare for Pro Day and is currently helping him keep a good mindset for the next month before the draft. “E.J. [Bibbs] has been great throughout this process because he’s gone through the whole thing as an undrafted rookie,” Bundrage said. “I’m happy to call him a friend and I know he’ll be there for me no matter the situation.” Bundrage only wants one opportunity to go to rookie camp for an NFL team and he will make sure to make a team. He said he’s worked hard to be in the best shape of his life and he’s ready to participate in a rookie camp. He’s excited to start the next chapter of his football career and he couldn’t thank the coaching staff, teammates and trainers enough for all of their love and support during his years at Iowa State. He’ll take memories and skills he’s learned as a Cyclone along with him. “Iowa State was another home for me and I appreciate all the support from the coaches to my teammates to the trainers to the fans,” Bundrage said. “I hope to bring along my focus and determination to the next level in the NFL and, of course, my Cyclone spirit.”

Fashion Week sets stage for ISU Fashion Show By Camila.Cervantes @iowastatedaily.com Apparel, merchandising and design students work hard every year to create the ISU Fashion Show. The event provides students a great opportunity to demonstrate their hard work and allows attendees to see what the students have created. Other interesting events leading up to The Fashion Show help set the stage for the big event.
A “Meet the Judges” event will take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday at Reiman Gardens. The event will offer an opportunity for people to meet all of the judges who are selected by the design directors and listen to them talk about their experiences. Everyone is welcome to attend and network with the judges. In addition to the “Meet the Judges” event, each day during the week of April 4-8 will feature a different theme: Kick Start Monday,
Travel Tuesday, We Care Wednesday and Namaste Thursday. Fashion Week will conclude with the popup shop, which will be located in a mysterious location on campus. Fashion’s Night Out will celebrate all of the hard work of the directors and members from 7 to 9 p.m. April 8 at the Gateway Hotel. The Fashion Show will take place April 9 at Stephens Auditorium and feature “The Roaring Revival” theme. Students from any
major can submit garments to be judged and included in The Fashion Show. Designers will receive awards for their creations at the end of the show. This year’s Fashion Show will also include an appearance from a guest designer at Vineyard Vines. Tickets for The Fashion Show are on sale and can be purchased at the Iowa State Center ticket office. Prices are $16 for students, $22 for adults and $20 for groups of six or more.

ISU STUDENT NAMED TOP DESIGNER By Anna.Chandler @iowastatedaily.com A mere 174 miles southwest of Ames, Iowa, fashion goers convene twice a year for Omaha Fashion Week. This weeklong event allows young designers to showcase collections to ticket buyers and Midwestern fashionistas. Omaha’s event differs from Fashion Week in larger cities because it is much smaller, and the events reach out to more audiences than just designers and merchandisers. The event has attracted ISU students and alumni to enter collections in recent years. Alumna Tirzah Bean and Kate Bruce, senior in apparel, merchandising and design, presented their collections March 17. Bruce was
named the top designer for her eight-outfit collection that was inspired by office supplies. Each garment revolved around a different office supply. Bruce was able to use the technology offered in a LeBaron Hall lab to laser cut and digitally print fabrics for each individual piece. “I was inspired by Andy Warhol and his concept that beauty can be found in the unexpected,” Bruce said. “The [apparel, merchandising and design] program at Iowa State really prepares students for design in the real world and [teaches] quality construction techniques. And the technology that [we] as students can use is great.“ Bruce also talked about the importance of her internship experiences. She earned two design internships, both in New York

City. Her first internship took place the summer after her sophomore year at Marc Jacobs, and her second took place during the summer of 2015 at Kate Spade. Both internships offered hands-on experience and helped prepare Bruce for the fashion show in Omaha. Bruce also submitted the collection for Iowa State’s Fashion Show on April 9 in Stephens Auditorium. After graduation, she plans to apply for apparel design jobs. “I would love to make another collection for Omaha Fashion Week in the future, but I don’t think I will this coming fall because I will be figuring out jobs and future plans,” Bruce said. “I had a very positive experience with the organization and would definitely suggest [it] to other designers.”

SAFETY p1 have? Second, SRF and project managers are “identifying a working group comprised of representatives from Iowa State University, Student Leadership, and City of Ames staff.� Third, after SRF has identified and presented alternatives to project managers and the working group, “a public information meeting will take place at the Memorial Union to review the alternatives.� Fourth, SRF will present recommendations to administration, City Council and/or Student Government. “As we collect data on Lincoln Way, we hope to better understand how people are crossing the streets,� Brown said. “Are they crossing in the middle of the block? What are the behaviors contributing to the complexities of that corridor? “We have to be accountable — regardless if you’re
the driver, bicyclist or pedestrian — that our community is safe.� Increasing residential and commercial development has led to increasing pedestrian and multimodal transportation, said Warren Madden, senior vice president for business and finance. Buchanan 2 will add 700 to 800 residents along Lincoln Way, in addition to private apartment developments. “The study seeks to find alternatives for improving pedestrian safety and crossing,� Madden said. Accidents such as the hit and run that killed Emmalee Jacobs along Lincoln Way last semester have stirred community concern over pedestrian safety. With increasing enrollment comes increasing challenges to determine and meet student needs. The university must determine where students are traveling as more classrooms and buildings are used on campus.

in Ames. Of those 33 accidents, 11 occurred along the Lincoln Way corridor, said Shari Berends, Ames Police Department records clerk. Elizabeth Morse, ISU Police public safety clerk, said there have been no reported accidents with injuries involving pedestrians on Lincoln Way dating back to 2005. Although possible solutions include physical changes — signalization, lighting patterns and overpasses — Madden acknowledges a need to raise awareness and educate everyone about their responsibility to stay safe. “Distracted driving, distracted walking ‌ all of those are issues,â€? Madden said. “Can we educate students to use better judgment and better safety procedures as they move around? We can only go so far in improving safety and educating people, and then there’s a place where individuals have to assume some responsibility for themselves.â€?

Some considerations include more classes in Hamilton Hall, where the Iowa State Daily was previously housed. Others include more College of Engineering classes in the applied science center and the expansion of Bessey Hall. “Students are voting with their feet,� Madden said. “Based on the data I’ve seen, this coming fall, enrollment will be up again. More students are electing to come to Iowa State. Feet create pedestrian crossing problems on Lincoln.� Madden said he hopes the study will lead to strategies that will make campus more convenient and efficient and alleviate midday congestion. By keeping residential and commercial areas within close proximity, it becomes more convenient for students and helps alleviate transit challenges, Madden said. Thirty-three motor vehicle accidents involving pedestrians have been reported since Jan. 1, 2014,

Design pairs with DMACC By Ashley.Green @iowastatedaily.com Des Moines Area Community College transfer students majoring in community and regional planning will soon be able to finish their bachelor’s degrees in four years of study. On March 28, DMACC and Iowa State signed an agreement in a formal signing ceremony. The agreement outlines a plan that will guide students in the major through their undergraduate degree. After graduating from DMACC with an associate of arts degree, students will have a clear recommended sequence to follow so they can finish their bachelor’s degree in an additional two years. Currently, DMACC students who transfer into the community and regional planning program may
spend closer to five years completing their degree. “It shouldn’t take you five years to do a bachelor’s degree just because you started at a community college,� said Carlton Basmajian, associate professor of community and regional planning. The agreement is a “two plus two� program between the university and the college. Different departments at Iowa State have similar agreements with DMACC and other community colleges around Iowa, although the new agreement is the first for the College of Design. Community and regional planning differs from most other majors in the College of Design mostly because students don’t need to apply and submit portfolios to be accepted into the program. “It made sense for us to be the guinea pigs, so to speak,� Basmajian said.
