he Great Hall of the Memorial Union was packed with people and anticipation as almost 100 different student groups awaited the Student Government Senate’s decision on if their respective group would receive funding for the next year. Student Government holds an annual meeting at the end of the spring semester called regular allocations. This is an opportunity for student organizations and clubs to receive funding from Student Government for the following academic year. Student Government does a regular funding allocation once a year, said Student Government President Dan Breitbarth, but they have tried to streamline the process and make it easier using online portals. Student organizations must meet a number of requirements before they can even be considered for funding. Requirements The leadership of each student organization must come to an informational meeting, where Finance Director Hamad Abbas, a senior in political science, explains the requirements and gives them the permission to upload their organization budget in the online

Officials release info on Tong Shao By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com As new details emerge in the murder of 20-year-old and former ISU student Tong Shao, the verdict of a case that has been ongoing for the past year and a half might finally bring some relief to family and friends. Xiangnan Li, 23, confessed to the murder of Shao at his trial in the Intermediate People’s Court in Wenzhou, China, on Wednesday, March 23. He was charged with international homicide. After a seven-hour trial, Li is waiting on a verdict that will determine whether he faces a sentencing from 10 years to life in prison, and even the death penalty, which is a possibility for his charge according to Chinese law. It was revealed by Iowa authorities at a news conference on Monday in Iowa City that Li’s motive for murder was based on a conversation he had overheard, in which Shao discussed wishing to date another individual. Authorities said that the murder was most likely premedative. Shao was first reported missing on Sept. 18, 2014. Her body was later discovered in Iowa City stuffed in the trunk of her car, which Iowa City Police identified on Sept. 26, 2014. However, Li, a former University of Iowa international student in business, had already returned to China on a one-way ticket that he bought a few days prior to Shao’s death. Li supposedly returned on “family business,” but according to Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness, Li’s mother was unaware he had even returned to China. “Why would he suddenly get a one-way ticket?” Lyness said. “He told people it was for a family
emergency, but his mother didn’t even know he was going back to China. So, not much of a family emergency could be proven.” Lyness said that Li fled to Tibet, 2,748 miles from his home in Wenzhou. Further evidence was also present that leads to the conclusion that the murder could have been premeditative. This is due to the fact that Li bought the oneway ticket before the murder, purchased hand weights and a new suitcase. Li said that he bought the suitcase because he was planning on moving apartments, but Lyness said after talking with Li’s landlord, they discovered there was no discussion of Li moving and that it was a “total fabrication.” Investigators were also able to trace Li’s phone the night of the murder. They discovered he had driven from his and Shao’s hotel in Nevada to the Skunk River, where officials believe that he planned to sink the suitcase with Shao’s body in the river. However, the water had receded at the time. Police then tracked Li’s route from Ames to Iowa City via cellphone technology where he then took a cab from Iowa City to the airport, leaving Shao’s body abandoned in the trunk of her Toyota Camry at the Dolphin Lake Point Enclave, where Li lived at the time. Shao’s body was discovered nearly a month after her disappearance, and an autopsy conducted by the Johnson County Medical Examiner’s Office concluded that Shao died of asphyxiation. Officials also said that Shao received blunt force trauma. “The blunt force trauma she sustained to the face was not enough to cause her death,” said

Detective David Gonzalez with the Iowa City Police Department at the news conference Monday. “Because she was placed into a suitcase, and the material the suitcase was made out of, we believe it was some type of asphyxiation.” Gonzalez, along with Detective Andrew Rich and Assistant Johnson County Attorney Elizabeth Dupuich all traveled to China to assist in the trial. Lyness said that it was “extremely unique” for Gonzalez, Rich and Dupuich to travel to China for the investigation, an opportunity not many, if any had done before. Because there is no extradition treaty between the U.S. and China, the Chinese government did not have to cooperate with the U.S. or its laws. However, Lyness said that they had been very cooperative not only in hosting
their detectives and attorney, but in accepting evidence beneficial to the case. “They were treated very well by the Chinese authorities,” Lyness said. Lyness said that Gonzalez and Rich felt that in having investigators from Iowa present for the case, that the Chinese authorities took more interest in the case. *** Li turned himself into authorities on May 13 and was immediately put into criminal detention. Because of Li’s cooperation in turning himself in, nearly nine months following Shao’s death, the Chinese system will take that act into account before sentencing him, a factor that is not considered in the U.S. Li denies that the death of his girlfriend Shao was premeditated argues that it was a crime of passion.
Like something straight out of a science fiction movie, researchers at Iowa State have created a flexible material that will make any object invisible to radar waves. The idea came after researchers noticed a problem with a wall designed to cloak objects. Items placed behind the wall could still be seen in certain circumstances. To remedy the problem, the research team decided to make the cloaking material flexible so it could be wrapped around objects. “In the material we have … a ring, but there’s a cut [in the ring] … this configuration can be called a resonator,” said Liang Dong, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering. “This resonator plays the role to trap electromagnetic waves or radar waves at particular wavelengths.” The rings are made from a form of liquid metal that is encapsulated inside a flexible polymer. The process to create the rings isn’t simple, Dong said, adding that one of the graduate students who worked on this project happened to invent a way to create them. The ring inside acts as a resonator that traps electromagnetic waves. However, these waves could have different wavelengths and the flexible material of the cloaking skin allows for all different wavelengths to be captured, Dong said. Making the product is actually less expensive than one might think. While the process of creating the metal rings is economically and human intensive to be done correctly, the polymer itself is actually quite inexpensive, Dong added. Jiming Song, professor of electrical and computer engineering, explained how the “meta-skin” was tested in the Electromagnetic Antenna Lab at Coover Hall. To test the material, researchers wrapped it around a bar and placed it inside an area surrounded by “microwave absorbing material,” Song said. An antenna then fired waves at the object while another antenna recorded the waves that bounced off of it. Any object that has the meta-skin applied to it is virtually invisible, according to the graphs that Song and the team published in their paper. The team has filed for a patent and hopes it will be accepted soon, so companies can start contacting them to use their “meta-skin,” he said. Song and the team hope the military will want to use this product, but they also hope future research efforts can go into using their discovery to do other things. For example, they hope to see work put into protecting bodily implants from harmful electromagnetic waves. They also hope to develop a way that radio-frequency identification chips (RFIDs) can be placed on metal objects and still have the information on the chip be readable.

Students submerge into Honduras waters By Katlyn.Campbell @iowastatedaily.com A group of 12 students and two instructors spent their Spring Break 1,824 miles south of Ames studying marine biology in what can only be referred to as paradise. The students enrolled in Biology 394A/B arrived in the picturesque Roatán Island of Honduras after taking two flights lasting a total of four hours and 15 minutes to study what they couldn’t get their hands on in Iowa. The students, working in various groups, were conducting research for marine biology based projects they will present to their classmates April 13. Ability to participate in the class was based off of applications, recommendation letters and interviews. Donald Sakaguchi, program director for the Spring Break abroad trip and professor in genetics, development and cell biology, has taken students on this trip nine times as of this semester. The study abroad program, which was open to all students, aims to provide students with “a handson experience of a marine environment,” Sakaguchi said. A hands-on experience is just what Cristina Cuhel, sophomore in animal science, and Logan Ott, senior in microbiology, got when they spent their Spring Break abroad. It’s not often students are excited to wake up at 6:30 a.m. during their break from college, but these students were more than ready to wake up for scuba diving

and snorkeling adventures. Jeanne Serb, co-director for the program and associate professor in ecology, evolution and organismal biology, responded with a laugh when referring to the structure of the student’s daily itinerary. The student’s schedule was “very busy.” “We started our day at 7 [a.m.],” Serb said.“We would do one or two dive/ snorkel sites in the morning, we would have one or two lectures, lunch, then another lecture or two during the afternoon and evening, then another at least one or two dives and snorkels. Our day typically didn’t end until close to 7 p.m.” Cuhel referred to the days being really long, which had the students eager for sleep by the time free time rolled around. Unlike other Spring Break trips, this one was heavily centered on the students
completing research and data analysis for the group projects that they had spent the first part of the semester getting ready for. The students were using all the time that was offered to them, considering they were experiencing wildlife unique to places surrounded by water unlike what they have access to in Iowa. “Here on campus, we examine things like experiments and controlled systems, whereas when you’re out in the field you can see the things you’ve been learning about and you can have an idea about how they’re actually working,” Ott said. Ott’s group focused their research project on the impact of humans on phytoplankton. “We were trying to see if this biome of organism was affected by things like human runoff, pollution, coastal development and things like that,” Ott said.
The question Ott’s group was focused on answering was “how is coastal development and human impact affecting the coral reefs in marine communities?” The group found that there is an increase in microscopic life right off the coast of developed areas, which is inhibiting the growth of natural coral reefs because they rely on clearer water to grow so they can receive light. “What we found so far is that there is an increase in microscopic life right off the coast of developed areas which is inhibiting the growth of natural coral reef because they rely on clearer water to grow in so they can get light,” he said. In order for Ott’s group to obtain data on phytoplankton, he said they used phytoplankton nets, which they dragged through the water to collect samples that they would examine under a dissecting microscope.
Through this collection, Ott’s group found that there was a spike in phytoplankton directly offshore, and there was a drought of organisms farther offshore. One hypothesis Ott’s group is toying with regards the idea that runoff is providing additional nutrients right next to shore, which causes the bloom of organisms and increases dead space farther from the shore where nutrients are lacking. Ott said after college, he plans to studying the interactions that microbes pose around the world. “In particular, I want to be studying different kinds of diseases caused by microorganisms,” Ott said. Ott said he is interested in studying marine environments but he is not sure if he’ll be able to go down that route after college. He plans on completing either a medical or master’s program in the future. Similarly to Ott, Cuhel spent her time in Honduras experiencing research that she’d also want to study post-college. By the end of the week, Cuhel concluded that her experiences in Honduras were worthwhile enough for her to decide she wanted to pursue a career in dolphin training post-college. Cuhel recalls snorkeling with bottlenose dolphins in the enclosure to be a “super fun” experience, as she got to play with the dolphins by putting seagrass in their mouths. Cuhel is currently looking for internships on dolphin training, she said. She has recently applied to one in Honduras and is interested in the dolphin training research aspect instead of training dolphins for shows.
During their time, Cuhel’s group studying the different methods for collecting data on dolphin behavior. “We got a lot of our data from the other group that was there,” Cuhel said. “We mostly observed them and how they observed the dolphins.” Cuhel’s group didn’t get its data from scuba diving and snorkeling with the dolphins, she said, but rather collected its data by observing from above water. The group focused on focal sampling, scan sampling, audio recording and video recording when looking into different methods of studying dolphin behavior. Cuhel and Ott both enjoyed swimming in Roatán on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System and getting a chance to study the environment they were submersed in. “A lot of these trips are kind of daunting at first because they require more financial input and more commitment, but it’s definitely worth it,” Ott said. “It was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had and I wouldn’t give it up for anything.” Cuhel and Ott both said they’d like to continue studying abroad if they can to gain more experience in real-world applications of things they learn in classes at Iowa State. Despite loving the research side of the trip, Cuhel said her favorite part of the trip took place during the last dive. “On our last dive we got to explore a shipwreck,” Cuhel said. “At one point I went and stood on the front of the bow and re-enacted the titanic pose.”
Alumna raises sexual violence awareness By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com It wasn’t until Vanessa McNeal, an ISU alumna, took a human sexuality class in college when she realized she was molested as a child. “I knew when I was being molested that something wasn’t necessarily right, and that it wasn’t normal per se, but I didn’t realize how big of a deal it was,” McNeal said. Suffering sexual abuse as a child from her sister and a cousin, McNeal speaks openly about her experiences and she now feels that she is “living out her truth” and doing something that she would never have imagined doing — producing films. With many ties to Iowa State and a bachelor’s in child, family and adult services, McNeal is now a grad-
uate student in the social work program at the University of Northern Iowa. For the next few weeks, however, McNeal will travel across Iowa to screen and host panel discussions about her short film titled “We are Survivors.” “We are Survivors” is a 15-minute film featuring the voices of eight sexual violence survivors and was filmed in Des Moines over the course of one day, with emotions packing the studio. McNeal, who co-produced the film with ISU alumnus Michael Phipps Quinton Wayne, former ISU student and graduate of the Carolina Film Institute, described the filming to be challenging. For some of the survivors featured in the film, they had never shared their story before. They felt anxiety, they had lots of nerves, but for some, they also felt re-
lief, McNeal said. “I think it was as difficult facing their truth as it was for me,” McNeal said. “But at the end of the day, I think everyone felt some sort of relief, just some sort of feeling of letting go. They shared something they had essentially been holding in for so long.” In a promo for the short film, “We are Survivors,” the survivors featured are highlighted saying, “I’m OK … I’m nervous … this is one of the first times I’ve ever talked about this stuff so, it’s hard” and “I’m healing. That’s how I’m doing.” This isn’t McNeal’s first film, however. In 2015, McNeal released “I Am,” an hour-long film that tells her story — one of surviving parental neglect, molestation and sexual assault. Afterward, several survivors reached out to McNeal to tell their story. It was then when McNeal decided she

was going to create another film. With the help of Jade Jackson, junior in supply chain management who is also a survivor, McNeal and Jackson brainstormed new ideas to tell survivors’ stories. McNeal described all of the survivors featured in the film as unique with unique stories who come from all walks of life. “[But] they have one thing in common, McNeal said. “They are survivors and they have worked extremely hard to get to where they are today.” For her next project, McNeal said she hopes to work toward erasing the stigma of sexual violence against men and is actively pursuing people who may be interested in telling their story.

Columnist Heckle argues that the 2014 movie “God’s Not Dead” misportrayed atheists by describing them as people who hate God. Misotheism is the hatred of God, not atheism.
‘God’s Not Dead’ misrepresents Atheism is a disbelief in a deity; misotheism is the hatred of God By Michael.Heckle @iowastatedaily.com
T
he 2014 film “God’s Not Dead” attempts to close the debate on the existence of God in 113 minutes of poorly acted and atrociously written film garbage. But the movie provides no actual intelligent debate, instead opting to use common stereotypes of atheist and straw man arguments to rally young fundamentalists into singing Christian rock songs. By misrepresenting secular arguments, providing a completely illogical setting and capitalizing on the false claims of Christian persecution in the United States, “God’s Not Dead” is an insult to the most important intellectual debate of all time. Even more sickening, a sequel is on its way. The movie itself follows protagonist Josh Wheaton (Shane Harper) as he takes on his atheistic philosophy professor: the cross burning, child devouring Professor Jeffrey Radisson (Kevin Sorbo). Along with a multitude of pointless subplots and odd cameos by Christian celebrities such as Willie Robertson of “Duck Dynasty,” “God’s Not Dead” strays away from common cinematic themes such as character development and a sentient plotline. Instead, the movie chooses to portray atheists as some evil, dismissive authorities and Christians like Wheaton as a sort of knight in shining armor attempting to fight against the beast of secular society. The only non-Christian characters are portrayed as violent and abusive, as is the case with a Muslim father, or ignorant, as is the case with a Chinese foreign student. The main plotline of the film begins with Radisson adamantly requiring students of his introductory philosophy class to write “God is Dead” on a piece of paper as a supposed attempt to move on
to more important questions. Our faithful hero refuses to do so and challenges the very unphilosophical philosophy professor to a debate. Radisson, who apparently has no essence of a syllabus in his strange, backward class, allows 20 minutes at the end of every class to a bastardized dialogue on the topic. It’s obvious that the makers of this film have never had a rational discussion with an atheist, nor have they ever taken a philosophy class. If they had, they would realize that the idea of a philosophy professor requiring a consensus of his or her students on such an important topic is moronic. Since the basic principle of philosophy is to seek wisdom, and the only way to do so is through intelligent debate and asking questions, no honest expert in philosophy would attempt to put such an important idea off the table. While the movie’s portrayal of philosophy is misguided and almost entirely falsified, its portrayal of atheists is downright insulting. Every character who denies the existence of a god is represented as an intolerable, misguided, liberal jerk. From the mustache-twirling professor to the soulless businessmen, the movie relies solely on its false representation of atheists to perpetuate any kind of argument. The film conflates atheism with subject matter it has nothing to do with, such as the educational elitism and Misotheism — the hatred of God. By making the “antagonists” of the film as unlikable as possible, the filmmakers showed that their arguments are completely useless without some emotional appeal to their Christian audience. The few arguments that “God’s Not Dead” actually presents are either logically flawed or do not address the fact that the burden of proof falls on the person making the affirmative claim. What this means is that, logically, one cannot disprove anything. It instead falls on the shoulders of the person trying to make the claim of existence — or of reality, etc. — to do so either beyond a reasonable doubt or at least beyond the logical capacities of any other claim.
One of the most laughable arguments the movie tries to portray as the be-all and end-all of the discussion happens during the second debate of the film. After Radisson quotes Steven Hawkins in the first debate, Wheaton presents a quote by the infamous physicist that simply states, “Philosophy is dead.”This is supposed to be an attempt to discredit the foundation of the atheistic professor’s argument: philosophy — or at least the bastardized version that this movie portrays. However, this seems to be an argument of authority, which if presented to a real atheist would fall flat on its face. The idea of listening, without the ability to disagree, to a person’s claims based solely on who they are, and not their contributions to a certain area — Hawkins, while a brilliant physicist, is by no means a philosophy expert — seems to be an exclusively religious practice. Wheaton’s attempt to discredit Radisson’s original comments by finding a quote by the same individual in which the professor may disagree is not an argument. It is a straw man. During the third and final debate of the movie, the filmmakers attempt to climax the film in one last insensible yelling match between the two main characters. In a final attempt to end the debate once and for all, our young hero screams out to the professor, “Why do you hate God?” A question to which Radisson replies, “Because he took everything from me!” And, as if striking the final blow, Wheaton replies, “How can you hate something that doesn’t exist?” A dramatic pause ensues, and the evil professor is finally bested. Except, as I described before, atheism is not the hatred of God. That by definition is misotheism. Atheism is simply the disbelief in any sort of deity. The movie essentially makes no real claims against the idea that there is not enough evidence to support the claims made by Christianity. Instead of providing audiences with a sensible dialogue, the filmmakers bastardized philosophy, misrepresented atheism and created a web of illogical word vomit to coax Christian filmgoers into seeing their poor excuse for a film.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
ISU needs smarter students, not crosswalks By Dalton Gustafson Senior in Accounting I have crossed Lincoln Way and Lynn Avenue across from the Memorial Union to walk to campus numerous times a day for the past three years. I have never felt endangered for my safety. However, I have seen other people’s lives endangered too many times. Pedestrians risk their own lives and the cars they are about to run into. With a red light in front of
them, students see an opening in traffic. ISU students dodge cars to stand on a two-foot median (otherwise known as a curb) in the middle of the road while waiting for the other side to open up. Approaching cars slam on their breaks as they are alarmed by pedestrians standing on the two-foot median. Drivers question whether pedestrians will continue walking and run into them or wait until traffic clears to cross on the one side.
In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, it is sad that students cannot wait an extra 20 seconds for the crosswalk light to turn, indicating they can cross the street. Instead, students opt to stand in the middle of traffic while one way is open to cross. This week the Ames City Council approved $100,886 to collect data and “identify and evaluate traffic operations” crossing the Lincoln Way stretch between University Boulevard and Sheldon Avenue — all of the streets that cross onto campus.
It doesn’t take an expert, consulting agency or six figures to see the problem with crossing the street on Lincoln Way. Unaware pedestrians are the problem, not crosswalks, not bikers and not even cars. Cars can’t advance through red lights. What allows pedestrians to walk through red flashing “don’t walk” indicators? Police need to enforce pedestrian “don’t walk” signs on Lincoln Way to improve safety. Frogger was fun … in third grade ... on the PlayStation 1. Protect yourself. Wait to walk.
Iowa State and President Steven Leath have had a challenging school year. The university is tasked with replacing numerous higher ranking administrators within the university, including the president’s two senior vice presidents, who announced their retirements. While it must be a difficult task to find new employees for positions such as the dean of students, director of the health center, the vice president for diversity and inclusion and many more in the last year, the university is also presented with a unique opportunity — a fresh start. Leath took full advantage of this opportunity when he announced his restructuring of the Office of Business and Finance last week. In his letter to the ISU community, Leath explained that in Warren Madden’s 32 years as senior vice president for business and finance, the university and the job have changed dramatically. Because of Iowa State’s unprecedented growth, enrollment growing almost 50 percent and the budget increasing more than 400 percent, Leath said it would be difficult to find someone else who can handle such a large, complex role like Madden’s. Leath said the office will now be split into two: the Division of Finance and the Division of University Services. The finance division, now headed by Chief of Staff Miles Lackey, will include both the Finance office (Finance, the Treasurer’s Office and Financial Planning and Budgets) as well as the Chief of Staff office (University Relations, the Ombuds Office and Internal Audit). The second branch, the university services office, will include Facilities Planning and Management, Business Services, Environmental Health and Safety, Public Safety, Reiman Gardens, University Museums and the WOI Radio Group. The senior vice president for university services has yet to be hired. This step to divide the Office of Business and Finance seems to be the next logical step. Iowa State is a large university, so a change in this office is a sign of growth. Additionally, it would be difficult to replace someone with 32 years of experience and who had managed the position through the university’s growth, so there is no guarantee a new senior vice president in this role would be capable or do as quality of job. It also seems another top administrator may be a positive for students. Another person to consider students’ concerns as well as introduce new, creative ideas at the highest level should benefit the ISU community. With fewer responsibilities, those in these new roles will be able to pay closer attention to the departments under them.

DEFENSE RECEIVES DIFFERENT IMAGE Max Goldberg/Iowa State Daily
ISU head football coach Matt Campbell observes his team during spring football practice March 8 at the Bergstrom Football Complex. Campbell is changing Iowa State’s defense to a 4-2-5.
Campbell’s 4-2-5 defense shuffles players on the field, aims to add more flexibility By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com When ISU head football coach Matt Campbell first came to Iowa State last November, he called an audible for the defense. The team responded with the 4-2-5 defense formation. Campbell and the defensive coordinators are changing former head coach Paul Rhoads’ 3-4 defense to Campbell’s 4-2-5 defense. It’s a different style and tempo of defense, but the players are ready for the challenge, especially redshirt senior defensive end Gabe Luna. “Speed. I’m going to tell you that this defense is going to be a lot faster,” Luna said. “I’m not going to get into too much detail, but it’ll be noticeable. April 16 will be eye opening for fans and Cyclone
Nation.” The 4-2-5 defense is different from the 3-4 because players are going to be in different positions than previous seasons. The 4-25 will consist of four defensive linemen, two linebackers and five defensive backs. This new formation means that Iowa State needs to add one defensive lineman to the line of scrimmage but take away two linebackers in its middle core. Defensive line coach Eli Rasheed and Campbell agreed that they’re going to implement a “Leo” position. The Leo position will be filled by Luna for now because of his seniority and experience at the position in junior college. “I think we have a guy in Gabe Luna that could fill that Leo position,” Rasheed said. “He’s healthy, he’s active in the front and he’s got
a high football IQ. We’ll hide him on the field, but he gives us the best chance at that position.” Campbell enjoys the 4-2-5 defense because it gives the team flexibility to change schemes and plays on a quicker level. It also creates a more fast-pace tempo, which means defensive players need to have the speed and ability to react correctly from the line of scrimmage. The 4-2-5 defense is not the only formation Campbell is projecting this season, but it’s the basis for other systems. Campbell said the defense could easily go into a 3-4, 3-3 stack and sometimes use only two defensive linemen, which will make the defense unpredictable. The goal for this 4-2-5 defense is to add another defensive lineman, so Iowa State can pressure the quarterback and stop the runs on
a more frequent basis. The five defensive backs allow the safeties and cornerbacks to create man-to-man or a more complex zone coverage to upset many of the Big 12 passing teams. Campbell is excited for this new defense formation, but he knows there’s a lot of work ahead to perfect this particular coverage. “I think this defense will have flexibility to put our best guys out on the field and be successful,” Campbell said. “The transition has been good, but now we just have to perfect it for this upcoming fall.”

Cricket club diversity brings team together By Jack.MacDonald @iowastatedaily.com Six languages, roughly 12 different countries and one sport bring together a group of ISU students to play cricket — the sport that many of them live and breathe. They are playing a predominantly Middle Eastern and Asian game in the middle of Iowa with almost no U.S. born players on the team, so the diversity on the team is naturally vast. “Ninety percent of the club is made up of international students,” said Kokulapalan Wimalanathan, graduate student and club president. “There is more to it than just cricket.” Sitting around a wooden table at the dimly lit Arcadia Café, the only commonality among the five members of the club at the table was their love for the sport and their broken English. No one shared a language they could fluently speak to each other in. Those seem to be the
common theme for the club, but they haven’t stopped it from turning into a cricket powerhouse. Wimalanathan said cricket brings together the team and then everything else works out because of the common love for the game. The members also have their own unique story on how they landed in Ames and contributed to the culture of the Cricket Club. For example, senior Bishwo Raj Paudel is a native of Nepal and moved to Burlington, Iowa, in 2007. Paudel attended high school in Iowa for three years before ending up at Iowa State. He didn’t resume cricket until he got to Ames because he played soccer in high school. On the other hand, Wimalanathan is from Sri Lanka. He completed his undergraduate degree there, but quickly decided he wanted to further his education in the United States. He first landed in Ohio and then quickly moved to Iowa State. “I came to Iowa State for academics, and there hap-

pened to be cricket,” Wimalanathan said. Like Wimalanathan and Paudel, several come for academics first, but a select few based their decision solely on their love of cricket. Ayyappadhasan Vythilingam, vice president of the club, is one of the members who took cricket into consideration when deciding where he would attend school. The ones who take cricket into consideration when making they’re decision often view it as an opportunity to have a sense of home, even though they are hours away from their native country. “At first I missed home, but then I realized I was home because I had cricket,” Vythilingam said. It doesn’t matter where they came from or what their culture is because they all get along once they step onto the field. Each member has different religious and political views, but the game brings them together and tosses those views aside. “It’s not just about the
sport, but rather the camaraderie,” said Anoop Shaji, club treasurer. “We hang out every Friday and play around and occasionally break some things when we have too much fun.” The group around the wooden tables at the Café made it clear that they don’t bring religion or politics into the team. Wimalanathan said everyone realizes they are similar, and it starts with cricket. The only time their nations are brought into the picture is when the national teams compete against one another. India and Pakistan recently faced off in a match. Cricket in India and Pakistan is like soccer to Brazil. It’s almost like a religion, as several of the members put it. To make the occasion even bigger, the club rented a lecture hall in Howe Hall and used a projector screen to watch the game. When asked if the rivalry was big, they all laughed and responded with the same answer: “harsh words were used, but it is just part of

and also a growth in the Heartland Cricket League, which is home to the ISU Cricket Club. “People play cricket for their love of the sport, but at the same time happen to experience one of worlds most diverse sports,” Wilamanathan said.

Win before the storm ISU softball beats Indiana State 3-2; second game rained out By Curran.McLaughlin @iowastatedaily.com Rain poured hard onto the field. Puddles started to form like ponds around each base, creating a whitesquared island. A foot-wide moat around the outskirt of the softball dirt was forming. Lightning flashed in the distance, resetting the 30-minute delay at the Cyclones Sports Complex. The ISU softball team couldn’t finish its second game against Indiana State (7-24, 1-5 MVC), but it did win its first game 3-2. The Cyclones were tied with the Sycamores at two runs apiece since the first inning, but a solo home run into left field in the bottom of the fourth by third baseman Sally Woolpert to put the team ahead proved to be all they needed to win. From there on, closing pitcher Emma Hylen and the Cyclone defense wouldn’t allow a single run for the rest of the game. “She’s pretty tough in that relief role, and she did a great job [coming in tonight],” said ISU coach Stacy GemeinhardtCesler.

Freshman pitcher Savannah Sanders winds back for the pitch against IUPUI on Feb. 12 at the Bergstrom Football Complex. The ISU softball team won its most recent game on Wednesday against Indiana State. The second game of the double-header got rained out.
Emma only walked one batter and had three strikeouts in the three innings she pitched, earning her third save of the season. “Warming up, I had a plan of what I was going to throw coming in,” Hylen said. “I felt pretty relaxed, focused and confident.” With the defense playing well, Hylen pitched with the confidence that her team could back her up. In the sixth inning, Iowa State was in a bad spot against Indiana State. With a runner on third and two outs, Hylen almost gave up a run with a ball hit down between second and third. That’s when shortstop Brittany Gomez snapped in to action. Sliding to her knees she grabbed the ball that nearly got past her. Without getting up she hurled the ball to catcher Sammie Hildreth who was then in easy position to make the final out of the inning and ultimately helped Iowa State seal the game up. “I was just thinking of the outs. Getting one out at a time,” Gomez said. “When it happens you just kind of react to it. Whatever it takes to stop it and make a play for that.” Despite having very good defensive play in their first game, it went the other way in their second match against Indiana State. The fourth inning of game two saw the Cyclones giving up four hits for

four runs and then two more runs after. Even though the game doesn’t count on the record because it rained out, the cause for concern is there for the Cyclones, who will move forward into conference play Friday. “It’s great knowing that our pitchers can do all they can. We just have to need to make sure that we can back them up on defense,” Gomez said. Gemeinhardt-Cesler said she couldn’t agree more. “We didn’t play well, moving forward you have to play well way more consistently,” GemeinhardtCesler said. Gemeinhardt-Cesler said game issues are addressed in practice every week, which is what they constantly strive to work on. “Show up tomorrow [to practice] and go through all those things that come up and grind them through and feel good about going into Baylor on Friday,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said.

Conquering the Maintenance Shop Christopher the Conquered to perform at Iowa State By Parker.Reed @iowastatedaily.com Des Moines soul/piano man Christopher the Conquered will headline a night full of local acts at 9 p.m. Friday at the Maintenance Shop. Tickets are $5 with a student ID and $10 for the public, with a $2 increase the day of the show. Tickets can be purchased at the MShop box office or online via Midwestix. Just a year ago, Christopher Ford was a name that only fans of local music in the Des Moines area were familiar with, as he made numerous appearances in and around Iowa’s capitol as well as appearances at the city’s 80/35 Music Festival. After opening for singersongwriter Natalie Prass in July, Ford gave her a copy of his debut LP, “I’m Giving Up On Rock & Roll,” which is expected to be released May 13.
Soon after, Prass handed the CD to fellow songwriter and former tour mate Ryan Adams, who then posted about the album on his Twitter and Instagram. “You guys [Ford] is the real deal. This record is blowing my mind,” Adams posted on Twitter. After the endorsement from Adams via social media, Ford witnessed a significant boost in popularity, which he referred to as “the Ryan Adams bump” on the “/r/Music” Reddit community. As a result of this newfound popularity, Ford received feature articles in multiple music publications such as Billboard and a pair of articles from Consequence of Sound. “I’m [going to] keep doing what I do: write songs the best I can, play as many shows as I possibly can and play the hell out of everyone,” Ford told Billboard. Ford released the title track from his upcoming album late last year and
released an EP, “I’m Not That Famous Yet,” in January. Both are available to stream via Spotify. Des Moines’ power-pop band Twins and experimental Gloom Balloon will open the show. Twins released its “Kiss of Life” EP on March 4 and expects a July release of its third full-length LP, both via Maximum Ames Records. “Kiss of Life” was recorded at the Sonic Factory Recording Studio in Des Moines with engineer Matt Sepanic, who has worked with some of Iowa’s biggest acts such as Slipknot and The Envy Corps. Patrick Tape Fleming (Gloom Balloon and The Poison Control Center) also joined as a producer. Gloom Balloon, a solo project of Fleming’s, receives assistance from Ford on vocals and trumpet. The band is known for its outlandish live shows that attract a loyal following. Chase Schweitzer is a

Pure Bridal co-owner shares trends By Rachel.Cessna @iowastatedaily.com
,Springtime and warm weather brings about a multitude of weddings. While the ceremony and reception are important, the bride’s dress is one of the focal points of the wedding. Sisters Kayse Schulz and Rita Gartin are the co-owners of Pure Bridal, a bridal boutique in Ames. They have been running their successful business for four years and have won Best of Iowa Bridal from both The Knot and WeddingWire multiple times. I sat down with Schulz at Pure Bridal to discuss the start of the boutique and the trends of the past and present. Rachel Cessna: What first got you interested in opening a bridal shop? Kayse Schulz: I actually went to Iowa State for fashion design. So I went to New York and worked there for a while and worked with Reem Acra, who’s a couture bridal designer. Then I came back here and I’ve always liked bridal just because it’s helping with that special day, and it’s one of
the most important pieces of clothing you’ll ever wear. So my sister [and I] started this store together. We were like, “If everything works out it’ll be meant to be, if not it’s not meant to be,” and everything just went better than we could ever even have imagined. RC: Since you started four years ago, have you notice a drastic change in the styles and trends? KS: Very. When we first started, our first season was fall 2011 that we bought dresses for. It was nearly impossible to find a lace dress. We literally picked up our companies, Casablanca and Mori Lee, because they were the only ones who had lace options and we needed lace. Everyone else had that ruched satin everywhere, and it’s still a gorgeous style, but it’s definitely fading and now lace is everywhere. It was also nearly impossible to find straps. There was no illusion four years ago. So there have been some massive changes in what’s coming out, especially with the sheer. There’ve been so many dresses with the low sheer back or the low sheer front or the cutout sides — stuff
that even five or six years ago people would see and be like, “For bridal? No,” and now it’s selling in Iowa. It’s gotten a lot more nontraditional. RC: What would you say is the most popular style right now? KS: That sheath look, actually, and it’s totally different from what’s been around because up until recently, every wedding dress had tulle and had volume in it and crinolines. Across the board, things are getting less poofy unless it’s a true ball gown and then it’s the poofiest. RC: Why do you think that is? KS: I think it’s honestly because of Pinterest. People are wanting to be comfortable and wanting to be able to wear their dress and be less confined. We actually just picked up a private collection from Amsterdam that is all stretchy lace and it looks like vintage lace dresses but they feel almost like yoga pants when you wear them. RC: With so many designers, how do you decide which styles to choose? KS: Well, Pinterest is a huge one, and then I sit in

my office a lot and I will just sit here and listen to what they’re asking for. If we don’t have it and one of our designers doesn’t
make it, then we’ll take it to our designer and be like, “Hey, we have lot’s of people asking for this,” but now we’re starting our own
private collection and so now instead of having to take them to somebody, I can say, “Hey, Kayse, make this,” and I do.
7 dress codes to follow when going to a wedding By Rachel.Cessna @iowastatedaily.com When it comes to weddings, sometimes the hardest part is figuring out what to wear. Invitations can be vague and it can be difficult to understand the meaning of different dress codes. Here are a few of the most common dress themes: White tie White tie is the fanciest dress code. It calls for more traditional and conservative attire. Men will typically wear a tuxedo and long
jacket with tails. A white bow tie with formal black shoes is preferred. Women will normally wear a floor-length evening gown that doesn’t have sequins or cutouts. Black tie Black tie is also very formal, but not as much as white tie. Men still typically wear a tuxedo but can sometimes get by with a black suit. A tie is still required. Women will wear either a formal floor-length dress or a shorter fashionable dress. Cutouts, fancy jewelry and accents are acceptable. It’s perfectly fine to have fun
with the dress choice. Formal or black tie optional For this event, a tuxedo isn’t required but it is acceptable to wear one. It simply means to dress it down slightly. A dress shirt and tie is still necessary. Women should wear either a long formal dress or a formal cocktail dress. Cocktail or semiformal For this theme, men do not have to wear a tuxedo, but a jacket is a must. Usually a tie is a good idea, unless the rest of the outfit is fashionable enough on its

own. Women typically do not wear long dresses, but shorter formfitting ones. Remember, a lot of dancing is going to take place, so wear what is comfortable. The lighter the accessories, the better. Festive attire This theme is less popular, but it can be confusing, so it’s good to know what it means. It is similar to cocktail attire but with brighter colors and patterns and fun accessories. Men still wear suits, but a bright dress shirt or uniquely patterned tie completes the look. Women
should wear boldly colored cocktail dresses and flashy jewelry. Beach Beach weddings can be fun to dress up for. Men can wear light-colored suits without a tie or sometimes a nice shirt with khakis. Women wear a nice sundress, short or long, with summery accessories that aren’t too flashy. Wedges are always a good choice for the beach. Casual It’s hard to decipher exactly what the term “casual” means, but one can assume that it’s always safe to go
with business casual. Men should wear nice pants and a dress shirt, but no tie or jacket is needed. Women have a variety of options from which to choose. A dress isn’t entirely necessary. A jumpsuit made with a silken material and accessorized with unique jewelry works just as well. Chances are the outfit you need is already in your closet. Just make sure to accessorize well and the look should work well. If you’re unsure what to wear with this theme, it might be best to ask the bride and groom.

An organization will fall under one of three different tiers—with a fourth tier for funding ineligible groups. “The tier system is really about our relationship with the groups,” Abbas said. Tier one is for partner organizations, whose missions are critical to the university and Student Government. Groups like the University Lectures Program and the Student Union Board are

All other funding bills—over 130—were passed with unanimous consent, approving more than $1.6 million in funds for student organizations. One bill that was divided out was the Student Government budget. The other was Datum, a student journal of architecture. Datum was pulled at the request of the group, Vice Speaker of the Senate Michael Snook said. They requested $4,000 and the budget the Finance Committee set out only $3,000. “We are hoping to extend our reach from just the College of Design,” said Datum’s editor, Callah Nelson, a senior in architecture. “We are planning on distributing our publication to more places on campus.” When asked by Sen. Zack Murrell why they are wanting to expand distribution, Nelson said they believe there is more of a need for this type of publication. Sen. Cole Staudt said that the issue in Finance Committee was the price per copy. Typical publications are around $3.00 per copy while Datum was requesting $11.27 per copy. Staudt
presented an amendment to change the budget to the original $4000, which passed with a vote of 31 to 3. “The organization has shown commitment to keeping costs down, and there are no [regulations] on what the price per copy can be, so I urge you to pass this funding bill,” Snook said. The budget was sent to the Finance Committee for further discussion to approve the budget. The Finance Committee did not approve the amendment, so it was sent back to the Senate. Sen. Danielle Nygard said Student Government senators should not arbitrarily dictate the price per copy of a publication. Sen. Staudt proposed an amendment once again to raise the amount to $4,000, which was approved by a vote of 25 to 7. With six minutes left to discuss the funding bill, it was passed by a vote of 30 to 3. The Student Government funding bill—after no discussion on the bill—was approved unanimously for $142,215.48 allocated to next year.

considered partner organizations. Tier two, for sponsor organizations, serves a broad interest. Publications such as student magazines, The Iowa State Daily and other umbrella organizations like the International Student Council fit here. Tier three is for funding eligible organizations. These groups are smaller groups more concerned with their specific members and the group serves primarily their members, such as sports clubs and special interest and niche clubs. Once requirements are met, the group meets with the Finance Committee, their funding is preliminarily approved. Organization leadership is required to go to the Senate for a final vote. The funds that go to the almost 100 student organizations originate from the $36.75 student activity fee that each student pays per semester. The student activity fees that are assessed go directly back to students through student organizations and clubs. During the Senate meeting, two funding bills were pulled for further discussion.
