Former employee files suit against ISU officials By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com A former Iowa State employee is filing a civil suit against the university for what she says were discriminatory actions made against her on the basis of her sex. Laura Smarandescu, who formerly served as an assistant professor in marketing, said that she was forced to leave Iowa State after her application for promotion to tenure was denied – a process in which she felt she faced wrongful and unlawful discriminatory conduct.

Luara Smarandescu, former ISU professor.
Smarandescu, according to court documents, applied for an associate professor position with tenure
in August 2014 after meeting “expectations every year for research, teaching and service.” Smarandescu was hired in 2007 and said in 2010 her probationary period was extended by three years – at the time, court documents state, the College of Business committee and dean “concluded that she was making good progress toward tenure in terms of research and teaching.” Court documents state that Smarandescu’s application for promotion was initially considered and reviewed by the promotion and tenure committee of the market-
ing department in 2014 but later denied. Those on the committee, who are also named as defendants in the suit, include Sridhar Ramaswami, Stephen Kim, John Wong, Sekar Raju and Sanjeev Agarwal. The application was then moved to review by Chair of the Marketing Department Russ Laczniak. Both the committee and David Spalding, dean of the College of Business, recommended the application be denied. Both are named as defendants in the suit. After being denied by both the chair and marketing committee,
Smarandescu’s application was then reviewed by the College of Business promotion and tenure committee and was denied again. Moving onto Provost Jonathan Wickert’s office and Iowa State President Steven Leath’s office, the application for promotion was denied March 27, 2015. Court documents allege that Smarandescu’s application was denied “even though her qualifications, research and teaching record were as good or better than male assistant professors previously

By Danielle.Gehr @iowastatedaily.com “Think twice, tweet once.” A Post-it note containing only these words collects dust on the desk of Iowa State Police Department’s Anthony Greiter, guiding him as he holds all the power when it comes to the department’s Twitter account. Since the ISU PD Twitter’s launch, Greiter has added color and humor to build its following to more than 17,000. Tweets such as turning a foggy day into a vape joke have caught the attention of the Iowa State community as well as people all around the world. “The vaping tweet reached 1.8 million people across the world,” Greiter said. “We had articles written about us across the world, and that’s a great way to show that law enforcement in the U.S., in this time when there’s a lot of tension between communities and police, can be real people.” Social media is now another tool on an officer’s belt as a way for departments to be part of their communities.

Despite being two friends applying for the same position, there was not animosity between Emily Barske and Nik Heftman as they waited to hear who would be editor-in-chief for the 2017-18 academic year. When the two were called back into the room and Barske was announced as next year’s editor-in-chief, Heftman smiled and proceeded to pose for photographs with his friend. Barske, who is also the editor-in-chief for the current academic year, said she reapplied because she has a desire for the Iowa State Daily to succeed and because she enjoys serving the community and students. Her strategic plan overview stayed the same, focusing on increasing the Daily’s relevance within the Iowa State community. “I’m excited because I think having been editor-in-chief through this year, I can really focus more on being out in the community next year,” she said. In her continued role, Barske plans to keep working to transform the Daily into a community-oriented organization and act as the spokesperson to the community. She also hopes to introduce large initiatives in her last year at the Daily. “I’d like to see an organization focus on building relationships with community. I think that’s the biggest thing we have to do,” Barske said about her initiatives. Barkse has four key areas she will focus on to reach her goals: focus on relationships, brand the Daily as a news organization and not just a newspaper, expand the Daily’s digital presence and provide more leadership development opportunities. Maggie Curry will work as the editor-in-chief over the summer. Currently the self and style editor, she plans to work on the Daily’s online presence and social media sites. She also recognizes that her job is to make Barske’s position a lot easier. She wants to maintain the print presence, saying it’s importance for students who stay to have an opportunity to work on it and that students off campus still know what’s going on in Ames.
Leslie Odom Jr. discusses the road to success By Whitney.Mason @iowastatedaily.com and Jill.O’Brien @iowastatedaily.com When Leslie Odom Jr. walked into the dimly-lit waiting room in Stephens Auditorium, all of the energy in the room turned to him, but he returned it with a warm smile and handshake. During the afternoon before his lecture, he was calm, col-
March al: Speci for ce
lected and ready to speak to an audience that he had an affinity for: college students. “I had a wonderful time, had wonderful teachers,” Odom said of his college experience at Carnegie Mellon University. “I look back fondly at it.” The dialogue with students when visiting college campuses is one of the main reasons why Odom chose to do a lecture tour, which has included stops at the University of Iowa and DePauw
University in Greencastle, Indiana. He recalled the visitors to his university and how their inspiration and insight influenced him to offer the same sort of wisdom to college students today. Odom’s lecture, Hamilton and the Road to Success: In Words and Music, is “an offering, made with love,” he said, delving into his time in the Tony Award winning musical, “Hamilton,” and how he got to where he is today. Odom played the role of Aar-
on Burr, vice president under Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton’s confidante turned nemesis. The play revolved around how men with different ideologies managed to come together to create the United States. The show has since become a cultural phenomenon, and Odom has always held the show close to his heart, wanting to do it justice every time he stepped out onstage. “Hamilton felt like a dear
friend to me,” Odom said. “How do you introduce a dear friend to the world?” One of the main concepts behind “Hamilton” is the idea that people with vastly different backgrounds and feelings can come together and create something that matters, such as the United States of America. “If you can agree on the ending point, if you agree on desti-

Rose Frantzen uses all colors in her works of art. She mixes colors together to achieve just the right color for skin tone and shadows the face.
Artist depicts faces of ISU By Melanie.VanHorn @iowastatedaily.com As Rose Frantzen traced the lower eyelid of the face on the canvas, she told Warren Kuhn the story of how her brother joined the Army. “He was a grunt. That’s the lowest level that you can be at when you join,” Frantzen said as she picked up another shade of skin tone from her palette to add
to Kuhn’s portrait. “He was a grunt? So was I,” Kuhn said. As Frantzen dabbed a lighter-colored paint to highlight Kuhn’s forehead, he told her about an explosion he witnessed while he was in Korea as a war correspondent. Frantzen listened and asked questions, but her brush never stopped moving across the canvas. Frantzen will be painting former Iowa State faculty
and staff from March 29 to April 6 as part of the upcoming “Faces of Iowa State” exhibition. The public is invited to watch her paint live in the lower level of the Christian Petersen Art Museum. Frantzen painted 19 portraits of Iowa State faculty and staff during the 2016 Iowa State Fair. The idea to continue the portrait series developed last September. “The idea really snowballed with input from
Iowa State University has chosen to implement Green Dot, a nationally-recognized bystander intervention training program, as a way to reduce and prevent violence on campus. After months of researching different programs and gathering input from campus stakeholders, the Sexual Misconduct Leadership Committee, a group of Iowa State administrators, students and community partners, selected Green Dot to start implementation in the 2017-18 school year, according to a press release. “Green Dot was selected by our campus because it is a comprehensive, evidenced-based campus approach to end sexual violence,” Keith Robinder, interim dean of students and chair of the ISU Sexual Misconduct Leadership Committee, said in the release. The program will begin implementation immediately,

community and support from the deans,” said Erin O’Malley, campus outreach coordinator for University Museums. Once the 13 new portraits are completed, they will be added to the Iowa State Fair collection and exhibited at the Brunnier Art Museum in the fall. In January 2018, the exhibit will embark on a two-year tour around the state of Iowa.
The Green Initiative Fund was passed as a policy with a vote of 26-1-2 at the last Student Government meeting of the semester Wednesday. Sen. Sam Freestone proposed the bill, which holds a purpose of “[providing] educational opportunities for students to learn more about sustainable lifestyles, choices and options available to them.” The Green Fund would allocate money from the special projects fund to student projects that have to do with sustainability. The Student Government director of sustainability, Kathryn Holmes, spoke for the bill and talked about how past directors of sustainability have tried to get it passed but have failed because they tried to impose a student fee. Sen. Cody Woodruff proposed an additional enactment that said “that the finance director shall maintain the authority to approve expenditures not exceeding $500, and the finance committee shall maintain the authority to
approve expenditures exceeding $500.” This amendment would diminish the risk of the unethical use of funds. Holmes said that though she prefers to have fewer loops to go through for this fund, she wants this to go through in any way. After opposition to the amendment from many of the senators, Speaker Danielle Nygard said it couldn’t hurt because the committee is new. Woodruff further defended his amendment, saying that in a year if it proves redundant, it can be repealed. Finance director Michael Snook spoke out against the amendment, saying the purpose of the group was to create fewer barriers when implementing these sustainability initiatives. With a vote of 14-15-0, the amendment failed. The bill was changed to policy, so it will be reviewed, and a decision will be made on whether to keep it at the beginning of each year with a unanimous vote. President Cole Staudt announced a recent hiccup in the process of trying to pass the medical amnesty bill. He was informed that a section of the bill would violate a federal law.
Virginia Boy pursues education in conjunction with officer training
with its first priority to select 25 to 40 faculty and staff volunteers who will serve as Green Dot facilitators. The volunteers will participate in a 40-hour training curriculum, which is slated to take place at no cost from July 10 to July 14. In addition to those volunteers, recruitment has already begun for student violence prevention peer educators. Their task will be to aid in implementing the program. Green Dot works by training faculty and students on the three Ds: direct intervention, delegate and distract. Direct intervention has bystanders actively stop or prevent violence that happens in front of them. The program also teaches bystanders how to best delegate and communicate with others to end or prevent a dangerous situation, and how to de-escalate situations by distracting the aggressor. The program will be coordinated by Jazzmine Hudson, Iowa State’s sexual misconduct prevention coordinator.
By Tristan.Wade @iowastatedaily.com U.S. Navy midshipman Virginia Boy’s path might not have always been conventional, but she has always known where she wanted it to lead. Boy is in her second year at Iowa State, but she had to jump through more hoops than most to get to this point. The midshipman is here as a member of a program called STA-21, Seaman to Admiral-21, which allows a select few active duty sailors to go to college and learn to become officers in the Navy. After graduating high school, Boy knew she wanted to work with nuclear science.

Virginia Boy is attending Iowa State to become a Navy officer.
The Navy offers many opportunities for this, as most of its vessels are
nuclear powered, so Boy planned to join. But her initial hope
failed to pan out. “I was hoping for an ROTC scholarship, but I didn’t get picked up, so I shipped out for boot camp,” Boy said. Boy proceeded to join the Navy and continued in the “traditional” sense. There, she learned about the STA-21 program, and made that her goal. Each year, 50 sailors are selected to return to college to get an education and be trained to become an officer, 35 of whom are on a nuclear path. The Navy pays $10,000 of tuition each year, and because the candidates remain on active duty, they still earn their wage. Boy completed basic

ISU presidential qualifications, search firm details released By Jake.Dalbey @iowastatedaily.com Detailing the requirements necessary for a search firm to be considered for the job of identifying Iowa State’s presidential candidates, the consulting services request for qualification was released publicly Wednesday. Four main requirements were detailed in the report, including high standards of diversity
and ethics, equitable searches that foster diversity, knowledgeable candidates who understand Iowa State’s background and the ability to keep candidates confidential. Firms that are interested in the position must submit an executive summary detailing their search process and provide examples of past searches involving university positions. The selected company will be asked to assist and advise the
Iowa Board of Regents on their presidential choice. Initial question responses must be submitted by April 7, as the university responses will be sent back to the applying firms. Beginning April 17, firms must have completed their request for qualification in full, with a comprehensive list of firm finalists set to be released April 21. April 24 through 28 will mark the start of firm interviews, with the final search contract to be
awarded May 1, a week before President Steven Leath’s final day. The Board of Regents will select the awarded firm based on “experience, reputation, price and ability.” Those selected for the final round of interviews will be asked to submit written proposals to the Board of Regents detailing their qualifications. Though not guaranteed, some firms may be approached to give oral reports to a mix of regent and
administrative personnel. In August 2011, the Board of Regents selected Parker Executive Search to lead the consultation that eventually led to the hiring of Leath. Before Iowa State, Parker Executive Search had university clients such as the University of Texas at Arlington and the University of Tennessee. Leath announced early March he would be resigning from Iowa State.

President Donald Trump highlights the differences between him and former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during a campaign stop on Sept. 13, 2016, in Clive, Iowa. Columnist Lawson argues that it is in everyone’s best interest to keep birth control services affordable.
Stay in control Providing affordable birth control services benefits everyone By Angelica.Lawson @iowastatedaily.com
I
t is no secret that health care coverage has been on almost everyone’s mind of recent. The defeat of the proposed “Trumpcare” brought a sigh of relief for many people. One concern for women, in particular, was birth control and how the Trump administration’s proposed health care act would affect the cost of these medications. Affordable birth control was a concern of 1 in 3 female voters, according to a PerryUndem survey. One-third of women surveyed said they could not afford birth control that costs more than $10 a month. After former President Barack Obama’s health care law was passed, insurance companies began offering free, low-cost or deductible-free birth control. Through this legislation, more women have had access to affordable birth control. Affordable health care benefits everyone. Before the Affordable Care Act, women could spend an estimated
$248 for an intrauterine device, and $255 for oral contraceptives out of pocket annually. After the act passed, women paid $19.84 on average for oral contraceptives and $145.24 for an intrauterin device annually. The act also made it a requirement to cover some preventative measures for women, such as pap tests, cancer screenings, diabetes and pre-natal care. As of now, the proposed American Health Care Act does not remove the birth control benefits, but that doesn’t mean that they would always be protected. A large portion of women receive their birth control and other health-related screens from public clinics such as Planned Parenthood. The criticism and pressure that Planned Parenthood has recently come under has inhibited access to affordable health care for a large portion of women. Planned Parenthood provides so much more than abortion services. Because of its community reach, more people have received preventive care and are ultimately taking better care of themselves because they have access to the necessary means. Everyone benefits from affordable birth control. It puts women in charge of their own reproduction, allows for family planning and helps decrease
the amount of unwanted pregnancies. The underlying threat of the removal of such a necessary measure is one that no one can afford. Speaking out against these policy changes is one way that we can ensure our leaders are hearing it directly from us. Reaching out to our representatives in any way, making sure that they hear us and know our concerns, is vital to the protection of birth control and all it stands for. Another way to protect birth control access is to organize. Becoming a part of an organization that has aligned itself with these values and wants to demonstrate the importance that this issue holds with so many people is one way to deliver the message. Keeping health care affordable and making sure that preventative services are available and covered for all is important, but it unfortunately seems that health care specifically created for women is under attack. Making our concerns heard is the first step in letting our representatives know that these are everybody’s concerns, and that they have a duty to fully represent the people who put them in those seats. It does not matter if you are a Republican or Democrat — having affordable health care services is everybody’s concern, and it should be treated as such.
Friley Hall features oppressive architecture By Charlie.Coffey @iowastatedaily.com The architecture around us has an immense psychological impact on our behavior, attitude and thoughts. For this reason, I find it problematic that Friley Hall looks so characteristically like a foreboding 19th century penitentiary near the heart of our campus. The key features are there: a castle-like structure with a steep pitched roof and dormers protruding from the slate-colored shingles. The long uniform corridors zig and zag to create a maze of similarity. Seen from above, the building wraps around Helser Hall and the Union Drive Community Center. This proximity creates a large main courtyard. Then there are jagged external crevices created by the internal workings of the maze. These courtyards are presumably for the prisoners — excuse me, I mean students — to experience recreation when walking from the canteen to their cells. There is even a moat-like dugout between the sidewalk and the walls at certain points. When we see images, a natural phenomenon occurs where any associations our mind has with the image come rushing forward. It is a resource used often in art history to support links between artists or artwork. When I look at Friley Hall, especially a black and white photographic reproduction of the building, I cannot help but associate it with an old photograph of the entrance to the Missouri State Penitentiary. Physical similarities are present: the brickwork, the pitch
of the roof, the spacing of the windows, etc. Even the doorways of Friley look incredibly similar to this 19th century penitentiary. There is a certain notoriety to the Missouri State Penitentiary though. It closed in 2004 and was the oldest running penitentiary in the western half of the United States during its time. It opened in 1836 and, as such, has all sorts of horror and ghost stories connected to it. Many famous prisoners passed through it, including James Earl Ray, the murderer who assassinated Martin Luther King Jr. If you have read or heard any of these stories, then the photograph of the penitentiary takes on an entirely new aura. Each blank window represents the lives of all who have been imprisoned there. You can look at any one of the windows and say that heinous criminals have lived and suffered in that room. If you are more sympathetic, then you might wonder about all the solitude that has been experienced in those rooms. Incarcerated people who are surrounded by others similar to them but are isolated in their cells. These are the thoughts that run through my head whenever I see the photograph of the Missouri State Penitentiary. I cannot help relating these feelings to Friley Hall whenever I walk through campus or come across an old photograph of the building. It started one late night when I was walking on Lincoln Way toward Welch and I looked across the street to see the sprawling, oppressive architecture of Friley Hall again. It was during the summer, so all the lights in the windows were

‘Feticide’ bills have shameful history Earlier this month, both the Iowa House and Senate passed versions of a so-called “feticide” bill: in short, legislation that would apply penalties to doctors who provide abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. In its current form, the bill makes exceptions for the life of the pregnant person, but not for rape, incest or fetal abnormalities that would preclude a newborn living very long past birth, or being born alive at all. Legislation surrounding feticide is nothing new – there is a law currently on the books in Iowa that makes it a felony after the second trimester of pregnancy (about 27 weeks.) But the language used in the instance of the current bill has to do with what would otherwise be legal abortion, and it is deliberate: “feticide” is meant to sound more devastating and more destructive than “20-week abortion ban.” By its very nature, it puts the life of the fetus, wanted or not, before the life of the person carrying it. The term “feticide” undermines choice and assigns blame to people whose only offense is seeking out legal, safe and necessary medical care. The bill, which was being debated in the Iowa House as recently as Wednesday afternoon, would make performing an abortion after 20 weeks a class “C” felony – even by a doctor – with language that defines “life” as beginning at fertilization. In both Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992), it was acknowledged that fetal viability – the time after which most states make it illegal to perform an abortion – was around the start of the third trimester. It is plain to see that these bills only serve to harm pregnant people. In 2012, a bill was introduced in the Iowa House that would not only make feticide a class “A” felony — and attempted feticide a class “B” felony — but would ban all abortions, no matter what stage of pregnancy. Bills like this are common among conservative legislators as informal challenges to Roe v. Wade, and while six-week abortion bans are routinely overturned in court, legislators’ reasonings for introducing such restrictive legislation are simple: they want to outlaw abortion and do not care who is harmed in the process. (Rep. Steve King, noted non-lawyer, even introduced a nationwide six-week abortion ban earlier this year in which he ruled Roe v. Wade is “unconstitutional.”) According to the Guttmacher Institute, only 1 percent of abortions take place after 20 weeks — and 58 percent of people wish they could have gotten one earlier. For some, this might serve as further reason to institute a 20-week abortion ban, as so few people would be affected by it. But limiting access to medical care – again, care that is legal, safe and necessary even after 20 weeks – is not taking constituents’ needs into account at a most pivotal and personal time in their lives. Iowa legislators would do well to vote against the current feticide bill and uphold the dignity that comes with choice.

off. It was dark, but not dark enough to obscure the outlines of the windows. That rush of association came to me and I thought of the penitentiary and the lives of all who have lived in the rooms of Friley Hall. The building has been on our campus since 1927. A good portion of every freshman class and even some sophomores, juniors and seniors have resided in Friley. It has most likely also seen a lot of solitude and possibly even some heinous criminals like the Missouri State Penitentiary.
Once more, I would like to reiterate that the architecture around us has an immense psychological impact on our behavior, attitude and thoughts. Even if you have never seen the obscure photograph of the entrance to the Missouri State Penitentiary, you are likely to associate the prison-like architecture of Friley in a way that is counterintuitive to our learning environment. A prison is meant to reform criminal habits, but a university is meant to promote educational practice.

J.D. Waggoner next to honor former coach By Aaron.Marner @iowastatedaily.com When the Iowa State football team takes the field Sept. 2 against Northern Iowa, a familiar No. 58 jersey will be leading the charge. The person wearing No. 58, however, won’t be the same. Wearing the No. 58 jersey has become a point of great pride in recent years, ever since the death of former Iowa State defensive line coach Curtis Bray in January 2014. Bray, a standout defensive end at Pittsburgh from 1988 to 1992, wore No. 58 during his playing days. In 2014, Iowa State defensive end Cory Morrissey wore No. 58 to honor his former coach. Morrissey passed it on to Mitchell Meyers, who missed the 2015 season while he battled Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Meyers returned to the field in 2016 wearing No. 58 and was one of five players to start all 12 games for the Cyclones. During the 2016 season, Meyers approached fellow defensive end J.D. Waggoner to see if Waggoner would be interested in wearing No. 58 in 2017. Waggoner’s response? “Absolutely.” Waggoner said he wasn’t surprised when Meyers approached him because Waggoner is the last remaining Bray recruit on the roster, but it was still an honor. Waggoner, who will be a redshirt senior when the 2017 season rolls around, has

played in 17 games during the past two years. He played in each of Iowa State’s first five games in 2016 before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury against Baylor. He is still somewhat limited in practice. Waggoner, along with JaQuan Bailey, are two of the few experienced players on the Iowa State defensive line and both have missed practice time this spring. “That’s two guys that
played a lot of football for us last year are on the sidelines,” defensive line coach Eli Rasheed said. “[Waggoner] has been going through [individual workouts]. We just want to keep him out of spring and make sure he’s ready for the fall.” Rasheed said Waggoner, who finished with 12 tackles in five games last year, is currently penciled in as a starter on the defensive line. As far as wearing No. 58
goes, Waggoner couldn’t hide his pride. “It’s the greatest honor I could ever have,” Waggoner said. “I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for coach Bray. I didn’t get a lot of looks out of high school and he’s one of the guys that took a shot on me — him and [former head coach Paul] Rhoads — and so I owe it all to him. “I’m definitely going to wear that with a lot of pride and honor him the right
way.” Waggoner played for Bray for just one season before Bray died. “I only played for him for half a year,” Waggoner said. “But I definitely understood what he was about. I still take some of the teachings he taught me and apply them every day.” Waggoner said he isn’t sure what the team will do with No. 58 after this season because nobody else on the cur-

Judo star off to international stage By Kobe.Gains @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State Martial Arts Club has a shining star within its judo section of the organization. Kendra Kehrli will represent the United States in the World University Games in Taipei, Taiwan, in August. She will train in the Olympic Training Center with past and future Olympic athletes for five months before she leaves for her matches. She will face former judo Olympians at the Universiy World Games. If she is successful in Taiwan, she would be eligible for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. This is the first time that a member of the club has been recognized nationally. “This is a dream come true. I am representing the United States in judo — who can say that?” Kehrli said. “I know I have a lot of support from not only my family, but also my second family within the judo club.” Judo, translated from Japanese as “The Gentle Way,” is a martial art that emphasizes using the opponent’s balance and momentum against them to achieve powerful throws
with minimum effort. Judo has become the world’s most widely practiced martial art, with more than 100 countries under its belt. Kehrli, Iowa State Martial Arts Club president, is a black belt in judo and has been training at Iowa State for three years since joining during the second semester of her freshman year. “Freshman year, I lived in [Wallace and Wilson halls], and I felt so distant from the campus because in high school, I played four different sports, so I always had something to do in my free time,” Kehrli said. “My favorite sport in high school was wrestling, but wrestling in college as a girl was different than in high school. I talked to my dad about transferring from Iowa State, but he told me to stick with it and to try the judo club. That has been the best decision of my life. I do not know where I would be if I didn’t make that decision.” Kehrli practices her Judo with her teammates six days each week, only taking Saturday off to either mentor the team or train by herself. “In judo practice, we focus on our partner, we do not want to hurt them or ourselves,” Kehrli said. “The key to judo is learning the techMsgr.

Judo brings nations together.” Kehrli has won four consecutive Judo national championships — the first was when she was a green belt, which is the third kyu stage. This stage is three belts away from the elite black belt — or in the Japanese language, “Dan belt.” The past three years, Kehrli has won the black belt elite division. She also came back as a champion for the Midwest Regionals in Illinois this year. A big key to her success is her training, which she said she does three times per day. While this may seem extreme to some, she said this level of training is required to be an international athlete. “Each week I have six different opportunities to train,” Kehrli said. “Beyond actual practice, I work out with the ROTC classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If I am not doing judo or training for judo, I am usually studying on my next opponents with my coach, who has been doing judo for 40 years, or working on my double major, which is animal science and business.” Junior Ben Dralle had only positive things to say about

Anasia Sturdivant, youth and family domestic abuse advocacy coordinator at ACCESS, said a common red flag of a toxic relationship is isolation. “[Domestic abuse] is not just physical,” she said. “It can also be shown by keeping people away from friends or things they like to do and monitoring their movement.”
Red flags in a relationship By Emma.Blickensderfer @iowastatedaily.com In a lot of toxic relationships, people have their guard down. When their friend or partner does something that hurts them, the victim doesn’t notice, Cortney Backes said. Backes is the vice president of philanthropy for Alpha Chi Omega, whose national philanthropy focuses on domestic violence awareness. Although it is normal for all relationships to have highs and lows, there is a line when the lows have gone too far. Because signals of toxic relationships can go unnoticed, if you are the one in a relationship, it is important to be informed about red flags and what to do if you find yourself in that position. First, are they possessive? Anasia Sturdivant, youth and family domestic abuse advocacy coordinator
at ACCESS, a local assault and care center, said a common red flag is isolation. “[Domestic abuse] is not just physical,” she said. “It can also be shown by keeping people away from friends or things they like to do and monitoring their movement.” Stephanie Hernandez, senior in animal ecology, said she had a toxic relationship with a former friend who would find issues with her spending time with anyone besides her. Although it may appear as them showing how much they care for you, at the end of the day, it is unhealthy for someone to limit your world in order for you to focus on them. Second, does the relationship lack trust? “[Alpha Chi Omega] has a guest speaker come in to present on healthy and unhealthy relationships for Healthy Relationships Week, and one thing they always state is to make sure there
is mutual trust between partners,” Backes said. For example, if your partner is always anxious whenever you glance at their phone, that could be a red flag, she said. Even if it’s not on purpose, if a person can’t hold themselves accountable for their wrongdoings, they lack integrity and respect for their partner, and that is not a relationship anyone should be in. Third, do they put the blame on you? Being made to feel guilty or crazy by your partner is another red flag, Sturdivant said. This can be shown by being made to feel bad when you spend time with other people or even something as innocent as going home for a weekend and leaving them behind. Hernandez had a relationship earlier this year where her partner was always texting another girl around her. When she confronted him about it,
he would tell her she was being crazy or jealous, even though her gut was telling her to be concerned. After she ended the relationship, she found out that her suspicions weren’t far off. While these three red flags are just the tip of the iceberg, it is important to know what to do if you find yourself in a situation like these. The best thing you can do is talk to someone about it. If you are the person someone is confiding in, it is important to believe them and be supportive. Telling that person what to do or telling them to leave them will cause that person to shut down and not open up about it again, Sturdivant said. If you find yourself in a situation where you need more help than support from friends, it is crucial to seek outside help. To contact ACCESS, call 515-2920505 or 515-292-5378 for its crisis line.
How to cope with a breakup By Emily.Merkle @iowastatedaily.com Coping with a breakup is something no one knows how to do until they are forced to do it. We asked members of the Iowa State community what they do when they have that sense of heartbreak. “I think the best way to deal with the breakup is make yourself busy; find a new hobby or activity. And whenever you’re sad, call your mom, for sure. They know all.” – Emma Whigham, sophomore in dietetics “Try to relax, and don’t blame yourself for the breakup. Not every relationship will be easy. There will be heartbreaks and letdowns; however, it’s how you overcome them that makes you and the relationship stronger.
It just takes you to realize that, and it will be the first step in getting over a breakup or help the relationship work things out.” – Lavail Nolan, sophomore in industrial technology “A lot of people say that breakups are easy. But when you truly love someone, it can be one of the hardest things to go though. The toughest [breakups] are when your lives are intertwined. You go from hearing from them and sharing your lives together in the daily to just poof, it’s gone. Like you were never in each other’s lives. I think that’s the hardest part about breaking up — trying to get used to not seeing their name pop up in your phone screen or waking up the next day and thinking it was a dream. I personally think that coping just takes time, and
it sucks. One day you’ll stop thinking about them and stop waiting for them to text or call. Everything will be OK.” – Jocelyn Vest, freshman in design “Remember that things happen for you, not to you. You may think it is the end of the world, but there is nothing more liberating than being freed of something that wasn’t meant to be. Allow yourself the time to grieve but dare yourself to move on, confident that everything will be better than OK so very soon.” –Amanda Gelinas, senior in marketing “Take your time, be sad for a little bit, then move on. Make sure you go through the stages of grief and then always know there’s someone who will treat you better. God’s greatest gift is an upgrade.” – Jackie Mesenbrink, senior in biology

Junior Katelyn Fritz’s advice on coping with breakups is “eat some ice cream, cry it out, repeat. Do this until you wake up and think you’re fine, then repeat some more.”

In the room where it happens A conversation with Leslie Odom Jr.
Tony Award-winning Leslie Odom Jr. visited Iowa State on Wednesday to present his lecture, Hamilton and the Road to Success: In Words and Music.
LESLIE p1 nation, you can appeal to your higher self and come to the negotiating table,” Odom said. The idea behind building a nation was applied to building a show like “Hamilton,” where the cast was able to connect on a mission and reach its destination when united behind the words of the show’s creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, whom Odom worked with previously on another Broadway show: Tick, Tick...Boom! “As a company, Lin had written the constitution of the play and given us our ethos, our Declaration of Independence,” Odom said. “If anything got too far off, we could rally, but you were set free to make the boldest, most exciting choices.” Odom described all aspects of the musical as things he could relate to and “understand on a DNA level,” but his biggest challenge was understanding his role as Burr and the expectations set for someone playing a role as unique as his. “Dealing with the worthiness,”
“We have to be
artists of our time and creators in our time.” Odom said. “What Lin (Manuel Miranda) had put down was extraordinary, and this should be somebody excellent — am I worthy enough to be Aaron Burr?” Odom said that while every step of the process was crucial, the focus involved during performance was what drove him to
push himself during every show. “For better or for worse, I wasn’t allowed to get carried away — I had a job to do,” Odom said. “There was never a day that I got to say, ‘We did it,’ and kick back. You have to earn the applause every time you step out onstage.”
Alex Connor/Iowa State Daily
Ideally, Odom did not see himself departing “Hamilton” when he did, but he realized that he had tools that he had yet to utilize in his career and in his life. After his departure from the show, Odom released a Christmas album, started recording with a band and started speaking at events like the college lectures. “There are lots of tools for exploration but not enough for navigation,” Odom said. “It was time to discover.” In terms of his lecture, Odom hoped to share aspects of his own story to inspire young people, offer advice and express what he wished someone could have said to him during his college years. “I hope that [students] get a little inspired,” he said. “I always hope for them to be taking in the world around them. We have to be artists of our time and creators in our time.” Odom hopes each student can discover their direction as well. “This is our world — take it in, add what’s missing,” Odom said. “There is a hole that’s meant for you, and only you can fill it, so get busy.”

SOCIAL MEDIA p1 in Wyoming, Minnesota, which Greiter often pulls inspiration from, recently surpassed its town’s population in followers. Greiter has found that this humorous style works with this audience of mostly young college students who tend to “wake up and most know that it’s going to be a good day.” He joked that he often draws the line and then puts one toe over it because this edgy style is what has kept the department relevant. “It is a tough balance because we’re working with sensitive information and sensitive topics, but at some point if we don’t lighten up and provide some comic relief, people will stop paying attention,” Greiter said. Maintaining a Twitter that is light and fun has been a goal of Greiter’s since pitching the Twitter account to the department. He explained that if people genuinely enjoy the content that they are putting out on a regular basis, their audience will be attentive when there is an actual emergency or at least a possible threat. He cited what he called “the medieval sock scare.” A prop, which was simply Styrofoam in a sock, left by members of the Live Action Role Playing Club turned into a bomb scare. Though the situation turned out to be harmless, the ISU PD reached roughly 100,000 people with its warning within the first 10 minutes that it was sent out. It was one of the first times it used social media for this type of situation. Social media has its pros compared to ISU Alert, Greiter said. Most people don’t get ISU Alert, limiting the number of people that it reaches. Though Twitter is the department’s daily contact with the community, Greiter incorporates face-toface, more personal types of events for the department through his community outreach position. “We are able to reach a much larger audience with social media, but there’s still something to be said about the personal contact,” Greiter said. “The coffee with a cop, the citizen’s police academy and the opportunity for people to come in and ask us questions and have conversations.” Today, all police departments in the United States make community policing a priority. Though, Matthew Delisi, professor of sociology and coordinator of the criminal justice department, said that this has not only been the case. Early on, being connected to the community was uniform for police departments across the country. This all changed once these practices led to corruption.
LAWSUIT p1
Courtesy of the ISU Police Twitter account “The vaping tweet reached 1.8 million people across the world,” Greiter said.
“Policing used to be very politicized and very closely connected to the communities,” Delisi said. “That was good because there was a lot of strong relationships and a lot of rapport. It was bad in that it engendered corruption.” The response to the unethical behavior was to completely separate the police and the community. One method that Delisi spoke of was the implementation of cars. Officers who used to walk around and engage with the community now drove in cars, communicating only with other officers through the radio. Corruption was then replaced with another issue: estrangement. “You had the police really only responding to calls for service and then they would react to whatever it was, and there were a lot of angst and problems in the mid-to-late 20th century,” Delisi said. Realizing that the separation of police and community only caused problems, departments began practicing community policing again. Delisi said that, when talking to police departments seeking to hire students, he found that they are looking for smart people who have people skills. “That’s what a lot of policing is. It’s relationships, it’s managing very different kinds of people,” Delisi said. The ISU PD has already seen an improvement on already strong community relations since its Twitter reached popularity. Greiter said that he has had officers come up to him and say that while they were arresting someone, the arrestee said, “Are you the one that runs Twitter? That’s awesome. I love you guys.” “Let me say this one more time. I arrested this kid and he said, ‘You guys are awesome.’ To me, that’s a win,” Greiter said. Their Twitter showcases a clear understanding of internet culture, which is
the main appeal to most of the younger audience and is something that Greiter did not decipher alone. Ian Jamieson, a software engineering student at Iowa State, works alongside Greiter sometimes, enlightening him on what is trending and what will likely go viral. When it comes to internet humor, Jamieson said Greiter caught on pretty quick. “[Greiter] really enjoyed that humor and the connection he was making with students, which is something that is pretty hard to do as a police department, especially at a university police department.” After meeting Greiter while working at the orientation fair, Jamieson jokingly said that the department should hire him, to which Greiter replied, “Ok.” What were already positive feelings toward police turned into even more respect over the months that he has worked at the department. Jamieson enjoys the anonymity that comes with this job, as most people don’t know of his role in it. When people find out that he is behind many of these ISU PD tweets that go viral, they are often surprised. “It’s always kind of exciting to see something you write be so popular,” Jamieson said. “I think that’s kind of rare and it’s special to me because I know that it’s making a difference maybe not in some drastic way, but I know that it’s helping build that community.” Though he receives help from Jamieson, Greiter still has full control over the account, and he is grateful that the department has given him such free reign. “I couldn’t do any of this if I were representing a department that’s full of terrible officers and I’m not. I’m representing a department that’s full of officers that are very similar to me,” Greiter said. “While we’re here to enforce the law, we can do it with a smile. We can do it in a friendly manner.”

awarded promotion to associate professor in the College of Business.” Smarandescu then appealed the tenure decision through Iowa State’s grievance mechanisms, and the Faculty Senate Appeals Committee then appointed an investigative committee to examine the case, according to court documents. The suit claims that Leath and Wickert then “improperly interfered with the appeal process” and directed the investigative committee to limit its review away from Smarandescu’s merits and rather to focus on procedural issues. In fall 2015, the appeals committee “agreed with [Smarandescu] and voted 22-2 that the tenure process was flawed and in violation of the Faculty Handbook. The committee recommended that Smarandescu’s
tenure process be redone, according to court documents, and that she be offered an extension of her employment contract. On Nov. 3, 2015, however, Leath denied the recommendation of the appeals committee to redo the tenure process and extend her contract. Because of the denial of her tenure application and Iowa State’s policy, Smarandescu was then forced to leave her employment at Iowa State within six months, according to court documents. Smarandescu, 48, is being represented by Des Moines lawyer William Graham. The suit was filed March 24 and is demanding a trial by jury on several counts. According to court documents, Smarandescu is alleging that actions by the defendants violate the provisions by the Iowa Civil Rights Act prohibiting sex discrimination in the workplace.
She is also alleging that the defendants conduct “violates the provisions of Title VII of the United States Code,” which prohibits sex discrimination in employment. The suit is also claiming that the terms and conditions of Smarandescu’s contract with Iowa State have been violated through “the defendants’ failure to act in accordance with the applicable ISU governance documents, policies and provisions of the faculty handbook.” She is also alleging violations of the equal protection and due process clause of the 14th and Fifth Amendment. The Iowa Civil Rights Commission, according to court documents, confirmed her right to institute civil actions. An Iowa State spokesperson said the university is aware of the lawsuit, but denied comment at this time.

Rose Frantzen, an Iowa portrait artist, started her 13 portrait painting series at Iowa State on Wednesday.
PORTRAITS p3 “The idea is to get everywhere in the state what we can, since the portrait sitters are from all over,” O’Malley said. Each of the portrait sitters were selected by their respective colleges or university departments. Most are retired faculty or staff, and were selected because of their contributions to the university. On Wednesday, Frantzen painted Warren Kuhn, a former dean of library science from 1967 to 1989. Frantzen completed a similar project in her hometown of Maquoketa, Iowa. Between July 2005 and July 2006, Franzen painted 180
VIRGINIA p3 training and two six-month school programs with the Navy before being selected as part of STA-21, which led her to Iowa State for the 2015 school year. She is now one of three STA-21 participants at Iowa State. “Iowa State was just added to the list of approved schools, and it was easy to apply and affordable,” Boy said. “I was also excited to be the first one here.” Boy is majoring in electrical engineering and hopes to possibly earn a minor. The Navy gives her three years to complete her major, so she will graduate and commission in 2018. Due to the condensed time frame, Boy takes a full course schedule over the summers as well. So far, Boy has excelled in her work, earning a 4.0 GPA
portraits of anyone who wanted to come into her studio and pose for her. Participants ranged from infants to retired community members, and the exhibit was displayed for nine months in the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. Frantzen will meet each sitter for the first time on the day of the portrait sitting. The portraits begin with a basic outline, but they evolve as Frantzen works more with the subject and gets to know their personalities. “I love your 93-year-old ears. They’re just so much fun to paint,” Frantzen said as Kuhn smiled for her once more. Frantzen used a wide va-
riety of colors to create the faces of her subjects, and O’Malley noted that her choices may seem unconventional at first. “She brings a lot of personality to the painting. She’ll pull out purple and green, and you’ll wonder, ‘How will this become skin tone, or hair?’ But she always works it out,” O’Malley said. Frantzen moved to clean off her palette and take a break at the halfway point of the portrait. But she couldn’t quite pull herself away, and kept coming back to adjust small details of the portrait. “I had a mentor who told me, ‘You never take a break unless you can die and the painting still looks good,’” Frantzen said.
until last semester. “I got an A-,” she said. “I was really upset about it. It was a technicality in the grading.” She now has a 3.95 GPA. Cmdr. Daniel Buhr, who is one of the commanding officers in the Navy ROTC at Iowa State, said he believes Boy isn’t just a regular student. “She is extremely unique,” Buhr said. “She’s the first STA-21 candidate we’ve had, and also being a female, she’s paving a path here.” Beyond academia, attending college introduces students to many aspects of life. When becoming a leader, as Boy will in the Navy, these experiences are nice to draw upon. “I’ve gained a respect for what everyone goes through,” Boy said. The path after graduation isn’t yet clear for Boy. During this coming summer semester, Boy will take part in an
interview process that will determine her future. Boy hopes she will be assigned to a submarine after graduation and oversee the nuclear systems there. But it hasn’t been easy for the sailor. Her home is New York, and Iowa State was the farthest west she had ever been. She also finds her social life difficult to maintain. “The toughest part is that as soon as I get a group of friends, I’ve been transplanted, from home to the Navy to here, and it’s hard to keep up with everybody,” Boy said. Boy genuinely enjoys school and learning. Her high grades are a result of a strong work ethic, and she wants to continue to learn all she can. “My goal is to learn the topics, not just get through the class,” Boy said. “I couldn’t do this if I didn’t enjoy it.”
