SAE team hits sleds Iowa State Daily

The Ames Public Library hosts an annual International Women’s Day event in the Farwell T. Brown Auditorium on March 8, 2015. The holiday celebrates women’s roles and accomplishments.

Women’s day comes to Ames Community celebrates International Women’s Day at public library By Kim.Hiltabidle @iowastatedaily.com Women and men of various ages and nationalities celebrated International Women’s Day at the Ames Public Library on Sunday during an event that recognized

the role women play. International Women’s Day emphasizes the respect and appreciation of women and their economic, social and political achievements throughout history. In many countries, the holiday can be seen as a mix of Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. The earliest observance of the holiday dates back more than a century ago in 1909 and took place in New York. Although International Women’s Day isn’t officially until Tuesday, people from all over the world

celebrate it throughout the entire month. The two-hour event that took place Sunday in Ames attracted about 50 participants and focused discussion around women in politics, women in the workplace, sex versus gender and childhood gender stereotypes. Daniela Dimitrova, professor in Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication and member of the Friends of International Women, an organization that cosponsored the event, led a discussion on women in politics.

“The idea is, when you do something interactive and you get people to participate, they feel more engaged and empowered and they learn more about the topic,” Dimitrova said. Before the International Women’s Day event, Dimitrova spoke about the differences in celebration of the holiday in other countries versus the lesser known role it plays in United States. “I’ve realized that in my country, Bulgaria, that International

Bakken to be decided Iowa Utilities Board to host open session By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa Utilities Board will reconvene Wednesday to host an open session on the Bakken pipeline. The session is expected to lead to a decision either Wednesday or Thursday. The Bakken pipeline, proposed by Dakota Access LLC., is a 1,168-mile long pipeline that would extend diagonally across Iowa and three other states, including North Dakota,

WOMEN’S DAY p8

South Dakota and Illinois. The pipeline has been approved in all states except for Iowa, and construction for the pipeline has already begun. If approved in Iowa, the pipeline will be expected to be functional by the end of 2016. Appointed by Gov. Terry Branstad, the board consists of three members: Geri Huser, Elizabeth Jacobs and Nick Wagner. The board approved a motion for a recess Feb. 19, 2016, in which the staff would draft an order for the board’s review and consideration, according to a press release by IUB spokesperson Don Tormey. “No additional evidence will be taken and no wit-

nesses will be called,” the release read. “In addition, there will be no opportunity for the parties or the general public to address the board, and no signs or placards will be permitted in the hearing room.” However, during the past week, the board overruled objections from Dakota Access and allowed three new pieces of evidence to be introduced before the final decision is made, according to an Ames Tribune article regarding the pipeline. The decision from the IUB falls months behind the other three states, and the decision comes two years after Dakota Access originally proposed the pipeline in 2014.

The arts and agriculture may seem like a strange combination, but a club on campus is using this unlikely duo to improve the Ames community and world. The AgArts club was founded in 2009 by Mary Swander, distinguished professor emerita of English. Swander had thought about how to integrate the arts and agriculture for a long time before starting the organization. After writing a verbatim play called “Farmscape” based on interviews with farmers, seed dealers and other individuals involved with agriculture, Swander decided it was the perfect time to start the club. “You can raise issues in the arts and get a conversation going about these issues in a different way than you can if you hand someone a brochure or write an op-ed or send them a magazine. It’s more engaging,” Swander said. The group’s goal is to use the arts as a way to start a dialogue about the world of agriculture. “AgArts is really focused on the intersection between agriculture and the arts and how we can use dynamic forms of story-

telling to open up a larger dialogue about agriculture as a whole,” said Adam Wright, graduate student in sustainable agriculture, creative writing and environment and president of AgArts. The group meets once a month and participates in various events in the community, such as Sustainapalooza and Earth Day. It also plans two events of its own each year. The group also partners with the lectures program to bring a speaker to campus and hosts its annual Local Wonders Grant potluck. The Local Wonders Grant is a way for the group to give funds to a project in the Ames community that is focused on the arts, agriculture or both. Anyone can send an application for the grant, and the group then narrows down the applications to its finalists, who have five minutes to pitch their projects at the potluck. After hearing the pitches from each finalist, the group decides which project will receive the grant. This year, the Local Wonders Grant potluck will take place a 6 p.m. April 10 at Alluvial Brewing just outside of Ames. Although Swander is now retired and no longer affiliated with the AgArts club, she has been expanding the group nationwide and is now the executive director. While Iowa State currently has the only AgArts group, more are being formed in New York, Missouri and Kansas.

Cyclone Racing builds, races snowmobile By Andria.Homewood @iowastatedaily.com With hands and clothes covered in engine grease, the Iowa State SAE International “Clean Snowmobile” team was proud to announce its return to Houghton, Mich., last weekend to compete in the Clean Snowmobile Challenge. Twenty-three teams from the United States’ “snowbelt” met in Michigan to show off their snowmobiles, which were designed to be environmentally friendly. Twelve Iowa State SAE International members traveled to Michigan on Sunday and will be there until Saturday to have their snowmobile judged in different areas. “The background of the competition started from the national parks like West Yellowstone,” said Nicholas Winter, technical director for SAE and senior in mechanical engineering. “[Their goal was to] create cleaner, quieter sleds for parks that have stricter regulations.” Winter added that the purpose of this competition is to promote innovation from engineering students, to promote clean air and to promote awareness of emissions and the carbon footprint humans leave behind. SAE currently has four vehicle teams within the club, but Clean Snowmobile is the most recently established team at two years old. This year will mark the second time the team travels to Michigan. The team started with the donation of its snowmobile from Polaris. It was a test sled that wasn’t in the greatest condition, and it needed repairs. Even though the team didn’t have the best sled in 2015, it still finished eighth out of 13 teams and won “rookie of the year.” “It’s a really great experience,” Winter said. “You get to converse with other teams. “We’re in a huge airplane hangar, and all the teams are in that area.” For the team, the experience is bittersweet. The competition will be handed off to the younger members of the team after this week as the seniors go on to graduate at the end of the spring semester. “It’s nice to get some younger guys in there,” said Jesse Rhodes, public rela-

Lecturer redefines global security Mary Robinson talks management of natural disasters By Katelyn.Horner @iowastatedaily.com About 200 people gathered at 8 p.m. Monday to listen to Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland and current United Nations special envoy for climate change, speak about redefining global security

and instigating “climate justice.” Robinson focused on several building blocks to climate security that occurred in 2015: focusing on the management of natural disasters, the importance of sustainable development for all countries and the Paris climate agreement. “The Paris agreement includes the importance of keeping the global rise in temperature well below industrial levels to ensure the safety of the world’s countries and people,” Robinson said.

Keeping global temperatures below industrial levels could save many people — even countries. Robinson said indigenous people have been forced to move from their homes because of rising global temperatures that left their homes uninhabitable. Robinson said there is no difference between climate change and energy. “1.3 billion people are living in energy poverty,” Robinson said. “Very poor people pay what little money they have for kerosene and candles, both of which

are dangerous.” Robinson said it is important that everyone has access to clean, sustainable energy; however, development requires energy. Robinson said if developing countries don’t have access to clean energy, they will turn to the traditional means of fossil fuels, which could result in global catastrophe. Many attendees of the lecture were students, including Ben Brown, graduate student in biochem-

IDENTITIES p1 more genders, and for me personally, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any gender,â&#x20AC;? said Carolyn Hutchinson, graduate student in chemistry as well as the public relations and outreach coordinator for the Queer* Graduate Student Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not taking gender into consideration.â&#x20AC;? Hutchinson said while she was growing up, some people, including her mother, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe bisexuality existed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since I was a kid, my mom said things such as, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You can be gay, you can be straight, but not bisexual,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; like bisexual people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist,â&#x20AC;? Hutchinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She believed that bisexual people were just confused.â&#x20AC;? Hutchinson said she knew her mother was wrong because she knew what she was feeling, and she never questioned that. Pansexual According to Dictionary, pansexual is â&#x20AC;&#x153;expressing or involving sexuality in many different forms or with a variety of sexual outlets.â&#x20AC;? Jennifer Luce, sophomore in psychology who identifies as pansexual, talked about how pansexual and bisexual are easily confused, and sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to grasp what the difference between the two actually is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I view pansexual as attraction regardless of gender and bisexual as attraction to all genders,â&#x20AC;? Luce said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, I grew up being told that bisexuality is within the gender binary, and that is how my family and friends view it, so I identify as pansexual to show that I do not adhere to the binary. Basically, I identify as pansexual for ease of

explanation, not necessarily because of the definition it holds.â&#x20AC;? Transgender According to MerriamWebster, a dictionary service, the definition of transgender is â&#x20AC;&#x153;being a person who identifies with or expresses a gender identity that differs from the one that corresponds to the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sex at birth.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of a tricky term to define,â&#x20AC;? said Marie McCarthy, senior in journalism and communication. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really think of the definition, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just something that I am.â&#x20AC;? McCarthy said she feels like a lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a clear understanding of what it means to be transgender. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Caitlyn Jenner is what some people would call a male to female transgender person, and I think because of that, a lot of people might think transgender means a male assigned person transitioning to a female gender role or expression, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really, really not just that,â&#x20AC;? McCarthy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a massive spectrum of people who identify differently.â&#x20AC;? McCarthy went on to explain some of the different ways individuals might identify within the transgender spectrum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people may not identify with a specific gender,â&#x20AC;? McCarthy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people may not identify with any gender at all. Other people go from female to male. Some people transition to what they would call their own gender. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really massive, complicated umbrella term that I think people misuse a lot.â&#x20AC;? Polyamory

According to Merriam Webster, polyamory is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the state or practice of having more than one open romantic relationship at a time.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I use the definition multiple relationships with the consent of everyone involved,â&#x20AC;? said Kenni Terrell, sophomore in journalism and communication. Ever since she knew what polyamory was, she identified with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came out five years ago when I heard about it and found out that it existed,â&#x20AC;? Terrell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew it was me. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something that I had to think about. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like with all of my identities, I just kind of know.â&#x20AC;? Terrell talked about how many people might not have a good understanding of what polyamory is, but once they are given the definition, they seem to understand it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once I describe [polyamory] to people, they usually understand it,â&#x20AC;? Terrell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like society is becoming more understanding.â&#x20AC;? Genderfluid According to Dictionary, the definition of genderfluid is â&#x20AC;&#x153;noting or relating to a person whose gender identity or gender expression is not fixed and shifts over time or depending on the situation.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I personally describe gender fluid as a tendency to feel different genders at different points in time, whether it be days, months or years,â&#x20AC;? Terrell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, that can be on the masculine, feminine or no gender spectrum.â&#x20AC;? Terrell explained how she knew she was genderfluid and also explained what it

feels like to be mislabeled when it comes to gender. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel dysphoric at times when people call me different things,â&#x20AC;? Terrell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like an anxiety attack but a little low key. Your heart speeds up and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel right, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of how I knew I was genderfluid.â&#x20AC;? Non-identifier Although lots of different identities exist, some people choose to be nonidentifiers, such as Ariel Jetty, graduate student in education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much just not having to conform to anything,â&#x20AC;? Jetty said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of my definition for my non-identity is that I am attracted to personalities. Personalities are my first priority. If someone has a personality that I find attractive, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter to me how they identify or what is under their clothes.â&#x20AC;? Jetty explained that while growing up, she tried to find a label that would fit her, but then as she got to thinking about it, she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see why getting stuck in a box surrounding one identity was necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why do I need to identify?â&#x20AC;? Jetty asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter to me, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about the labels. I like who I like.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little tricky to explain to people because society is obsessed with labels, and she shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to adhere to those labels that they try to put on her, Jetty said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People piece things together and assume othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; identities, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really hard for people to wrap their minds around that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t identify as anything,â&#x20AC;? Jetty said.

SNOWMOBILE p3 tions chair for SAE. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That way they know what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about for next year. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still on the team, they know what the competition is all about, what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like.â&#x20AC;? Through teamwork and some careful innovation, the team members all have their individual goals for this competition as well as goals for going into next school year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A main goal of mine is to learn more about the engineering of snowmobiles,â&#x20AC;? said Nick Begley, team leader for SAE. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a junior, [and I] look up to the seniors to see what I need to do next year to be a better leader in the club.â&#x20AC;? Meanwhile, seniors in SAE are looking back on what the club has done for them as individuals. For Cameron Pomeroy, project director for SAE Clean Snowmobile and senior in mechanical engineering, the experience of being on the team will last into his life after he graduates from Iowa State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m interviewing for fulltime jobs, I speak more about this club than I do about my year of experience in the industryâ&#x20AC;? Pomeroy said.

HOUSING p1 will be. Wuestenberg said housing is all about supply and demand and when there is high demand but little supply, students will look for ways to consolidate and save money. In low-density residential areas, students would be limited to fitting three non-related people in one house to comply with Ames occupancy laws. Wuestenberg said these low-density residential areas are often neighborhood associations and include houses on Hyland Avenue, Campus Avenue and other

THE U.S. IS

A CHRISTIAN NATION Columnist Heckle argues the belief that the United States is a Christian nation contradicts almost the entire First Amendment.

National religion contradicts freedoms of U.S. Constitution By Michael.Heckle @iowastatedaily.com

he theocratic element of the GOP that has polluted U.S. politics for the last 40 years has never been more evident than during the current campaign cycle. With seemingly every Republican candidate using the Christian God to appeal to Christian voters or in the very least to reaffirm their “family values,” questions about the place of Christianity in politics draws concern over the fundamental beliefs of our nation. The answer is plain and simple: the United States is not, nor has it ever been, a Christian nation. As infuriating as this fact is to the GOP — which is why members refuse to acknowledge it — history cannot deny that the United States is essentially a secular nation. This fact, by definition, is the only reason freedom of religion can exist. Even though the majority of this nation follows the Christian faith, a nation of Christians is not the same as a Christian nation. This principle, in itself, allows not only Christianity but all other faiths and philosophies to flourish as equals. The principle behind freedom of religion is that congress cannot legislate religious practice or ideology. This means a national religion of any sort is contradictory to almost the entirety of the First Amendment. Freedom of religion itself means a freedom from religion, ergo the separation of church and state. However, during the late 18th century, a new renaissance led by great minds such as John Locke and Thomas Paine began to cause a widespread questioning of religious principles among the world’s educated.

The egalitarian ideas that inspired the Founding Fathers were founded with a basis in deism — the belief in a supreme being or creator who does not intervene in the universe. This deistic world view was not lost on the Founding Fathers. With Benjamin Franklin being openly deist, and Thomas Jefferson sharing many similar views — though never actually specifying his religious belief — the argument that the United States was founded by Christians is nothing more than a blatant assumption. Additionally, George Washington was influenced by deism even in the eyes of his pastors. However, the most obvious argument against the founding of the United States as a Christian nation is a statement made by John Adams, who addressed the issue head on by saying, “The Government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian Religion.” Need I say more? Even more telling than the religious views of our Founding Fathers are the documents that make up the basis of the nation’s ethos. The Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Articles of Confederation and the Federalist Papers never mention the Christian God. In fact, the closest anyone can come to claiming that our nation’s founding documents justify a Christian theocracy are four references to a higher power in the Declaration. However, none of these references mention any sort of specific deity — the closest it comes is the mention of a “Creator,” which is unsurprising for a document written by a deist. These appeals to a higher power were used to exemplify the necessity for human dignity, not to argue for a religious nation. Yet, none of these facts have deterred fanatics from attempting to push religion on governmental institutions. In 1861, the National Reform Association — a movement formed in the mid-1800s angered by exemption of the Christian God from the Constitution — argued in front

of Congress to change the Preamble of the Constitution. Arguing that the Civil War was a result of omitting God from the Constitution and not as a result of slavery, The National Rifle Association wanted to consider Jesus as a sort of supreme leader of the nation. Former President Abraham Lincoln and Congress, wanting nothing to do with the radical group, appeased it by allowing “In God We Trust” to be printed on coins. However, what the initial printing of this new and unconstitutional motto did was far from uninterrupted. The currency of the United States had multiple spans of years when “In God We Trust” was rightfully omitted from printing. Even Theodore Roosevelt, a devout Christian himself, argued against its printing in 1907. It wasn’t until 1956 that “In God We Trust” was signed in as a national motto by Eisenhower. However, this religious intrusion, along with the addition of “under God” into the Pledge of Allegiance two years prior was more of political statement than one of religious nature. As the threat of “godless” communism began to plague almost every aspect of American life, Eisenhower felt that a sort of unifying morality for the country. The term ‘God’ was less a religious statement than a shorthand of American ideology. It seems that the influence Christianity has gained in this nation is less of a religious awakening than a group of fanatics taking advantage of a scared and broken nation. Yet, with the rich history of religious intrusion on our secular nation, along with the principles of our Founding Fathers and the documents that define the United States, many Republicans are simply unable to grasp the idea of true freedom of religion. With candidates such as Ted Cruz and former candidate Ben Carson calling for what they — falsely — believe to be a “resurgence” of a Christian America, the theocratic hypocrisy of the GOP is shining brighter than ever.

Banning books hinders learning By Haley.Brase @iowastatedaily.com Think about being banned from school for doing drugs or having sex. When the principal asked you why you did it, you attributed it to a book you read. I doubt the principal would accept that as your reasoning, so why is it reasonable to ban books if they have not been proven to be the reason behind teenagers’ choices? We’ve all experienced the banning of books throughout middle school and high school. Books were banned from being read in school because they were considered racist, sexual or violent, and parents did not want their teenagers reading about these subjects. Obviously, those parents did not know or refused to acknowledge that their teenagers already knew about subjects such as racism, either through personal stories or through their own experiences. Children learn about sexual education in elementary school, where they are taught what good and bad touch is. They also learn about puberty and what happens to hormones as they mature. In middle school or high school, a condom is put

on a banana to teach teenagers about safe sex. Plus, it’s a natural part of a human’s life and not something that should be hidden. Young adults need to learn what racism and sex is in order to be safe and know right from wrong. I’m not promoting racist or sexual content in books, but learning about these subjects should not be frowned upon, especially in literature. Books such as “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” have been banned or challenged in the past, but both books, among others, have lessons to teach different viewpoints. “To Kill a Mockingbird” has been challenged by parents because of its racist comments and because it makes whites the priority. Yes, the book contains racist elements, but parents cannot protect their children from every racial, sexual comment. The book informs readers on what that time was like. It does not promote racism. Books allow people to learn about time periods they did not experience and provides an opportunity to live in another world and promote imagination. “To Kill a Mockingbird” is

an example of racism and is not the reason racism started, so it should not be banned. “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” was on the top-10 list of the most challenging books of 2014, according to American Library Association, because of its use of drugs, homosexuality and sexual content. Although I am not a member of the LGBT community, I found the inclusion of this book on the list of banned books strictly because of its homosexual themes to be extremely offensive. I think it is absolutely wonderful that a book promotes inclusion of homosexual individuals. Because this is a controversial topic in America, it is even more essential to promote the idea that love is love and everyone deserves to love who they want, no matter their identity. If parents or teachers don’t want this book to their reading list because of homosexual characters, kids will associate being gay as something negative. “To Kill a Mockingbird” contains racist themes but it is not more than a representation of that time. In the same vein, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” takes place during modern times, when gay marriage is legal. Because of this, homo-

sexual themes shouldn’t be seen as means to challenge or ban the book. Yes, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” includes the use of drugs, alcohol and sex, but it is a realistic representation of some things that can take place while in high school. Just because a child reads about those subjects does not mean they are going to start smoking marijuana or engaging in sexual intercourse. It makes the book more interesting and engaging and relatable. Reading is supposed to intrigue people and stretch the mind rather than encourage readers to take the safest route. Student who don’t read the book will still hear about drugs, alcohol and sex through health class, working on projects or papers about the subjects, watching TV shows or seeing advertisements on the topics. They may have even already have had personal experiences with them. One-third of high school students have already lost their virginity. This statistic has stayed constant since 1991 and that is not the fault of any literature. Books should not be blamed for decisions made by character for fear it will rub off on its reader. A book is full of words, but a person has a brain to choose what they say or do.

StuGov ballots a win for students A new Student Government president and vice president and set of senators were elected to office Friday and are now charged with leading and caring for the student body next academic year starting in April. The group was elected with more votes than last year, in part due to a new voting system that was a win for students. This year, the ballot was sent to students’ emails, whereas in years past, students would have to go to a website to cast their votes. Alex Rodgers, election commissioner, told the Daily on Friday that he was ecstatic about the voter turnout. A total 5,742 votes were tallied up, which is about 16 percent of the student population, a 3 percent increase in voter turnout from last year. An improvement, but it could be better. The voting numbers have increased in general compared with the past several years. In 2012, 2,688 students voted. In 2013, 2,427 students voted. In 2014, a total of 3,078 votes, though that fell short of the then-GSB election commission’s goal of 4,500 student votes. Rodgers told the Daily Friday he believes the current voting system works and said going back to the old system — which was the website vote. iastate.edu — could cost the student body about $40,000 up front, but it would be in place for the next 10 to 12 years. The voting method in which the ballot is sent directly to students is a win. Basically, anything that eliminates steps to cater to the students’ habits is what should be done in order to increase voter turnout. However, the system still needs to work out some kinks, as not every student received a ballot to their email. And while the numbers still aren’t where they need to be in terms of the proportion of students who voted, this method change is definitely a step in the right direction. While the number of voters has drastically increased within the last five years, the number is still underrepresentative of the entire student population. The presidential and vice presidential candidates attempt to get the word out about the elections through their own campaigns, and the election commission has helped improve the voter turnout rate, but a 16 percent turnout is abysmal. The student body needs to realize the level of importance its Student Government is in students’ lives. Student Government is a direct line to the administration and one of the biggest forces fighting for students. Therefore, it is on the election commission to ensure more students are aware of the importance of the election process, and the student body should take the 10 minutes out of their lives to read about each candidate’s platform and click through the election ballot emailed right to their inbox.

Prohm ready for Big 12s; Morris rests ISU coach to make first appearance in Big 12 tournament By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com

Ryan Young/Iowa State Daily

Monté Morris attacks the rim against Kansas’ Frank Mason III on Saturday.

Being in his first year as Iowa State’s head coach, Steve Prohm has yet to experience the Big 12 Championship in Kansas City, Mo. He has, though, heard quite a few things about the tournament. “I’ve heard it’s probably the most supported, if not the most supported conference tournament in the country,” Prohm said. “It fits about 20,000 people, and we’ll have about 15,000 Cyclone fans in there Thursday night. The atmosphere will be electric. I’m looking forward to it.” No. 21 Iowa State (21-10, 10-8 Big 12) will take on No. 6 Oklahoma (24-6, 12-6 Big 12) in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Championship on Thursday night. Oklahoma won the first matchup between the two teams in Norman, Okla., and Iowa State took the second game in Ames. While it’s not the easiest draw for the Cyclones to take on a Sooner team that has been ranked in the top 10 for the majority of the season, senior Georges Niang isn’t worried. “Obviously, it’s felt like a while since we’ve played them,” Niang said. “We’re excited to get out there and play for a third time. We’re up for the challenge.” The Cyclones will play in the fourth and final game of the day on Thursday and will likely start late because of longer games earlier in the day. Even though they will have to wait all day for their turn to play, Prohm said it shouldn’t

be hard to keep their focus. “The good thing about it, there will only be five teams left when we play. That’s a good way to look at it from my standpoint,” Prohm said. “You play when you play. It makes it for a long day, but we’ve been playing these [8 p.m.] games all year … I think these guys are used to it.” Morris injury update Near the end of Iowa State’s 85-78 loss at Kansas on Saturday, ISU point guard Monté Morris hurt his shoulder. It was later ruled as a strained rotator cuff, and Morris left Phog Allen Fieldhouse with his shoulder wrapped in ice. On Monday, Prohm announced that Morris would have two days off as a precautionary measure. Even though his point guard won’t get much practice time before the opening game in the conference tournament, Prohm isn’t worried. “He knows the system; he knows everything he’s got to do,” Prohm said. “We’re almost probably better off getting him some rest. So he’ll rest today and tomorrow and be back with us Thursday.” Morris said he didn’t mind the time off — he hasn’t taken any since last summer. And while he would like to be practicing, he said it’s probably better that he isn’t. “I’d love that to be out there and practice,” Morris said. “But [with] my injuries, unfortunately I can’t do that. I’m going to be in here cheering on these guys, but it’s always good to get some rest. “God works in mysterious ways, and he probably made me tweak my shoulder or something so I could get some rest.” Morris played nearly all 40 minutes of Saturday’s game against the Jayhawks and is averaging more than 38 minutes played per game.

GAME INFO No. 6 Oklahoma (24-6, 12-6 Big 12) vs. No. 21 Iowa State (21-10, 10-8 Big 12) Big 12 Championships Quarterfinals When: Thursday | 8 p.m. Where: Sprint Center | Kansas City, Mo. Watch: ESPNU For updated information leading up to the Big 12 Championships, follow Ryan Young (@RyanYoung44) and Chris Wolff (@HashtagChrisss) on Twitter. Even with all that time on the court and with tournament play right around the corner, Morris said he isn’t as tired as people may think. He is just taking things one day at a time. “It’s just weird,” Morris said. “Some days I wake up more tired than other days. Right now I feel good. I might wake up tomorrow, I’m not practicing, but I might wake up a little tired. It’s just day to day.” And even though he may not be back up to full strength by game time, he isn’t worried. Morris said without a doubt he will play Thursday. “My mom’s going to be there,” Morris said. “I’m going to tell her I’m 100 percent even if I’m 50 [percent]. That’s just the love for this team, and I’m going to lay it all out on the line, hurt or not.”

Senior diver soaks in last season at Iowa State By Rachel.Given @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa State Daily

ISU senior linebacker Levi Peters tackles Kansas State quarterback Joe Hubener on Nov. 2, 2013, in Manhattan, Kan. Peters announced he is foregoing his senior season because of injuries.

Levi Peters announces end of football career By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com ISU senior linebacker Levi Peters will call it a career and is stepping away from the Iowa State football team, he announced early Monday. Peters has encountered numerous injuries in his time at Iowa State, citing that as the biggest reason for his early retirement. Peters, a former walkon from Gilmore City, Iowa, was voted a team captain prior to the 2015 season. “I don’t know if anybody epitomizes what it means to be a Cyclone more than Levi Peters,” said ISU coach Matt Campbell in a statement Monday. “He gave everything he had for this program with a tenacity

and work ethic matched by no one. He competed that way because he loved being a Cyclone. There is no doubt that Levi will be missed in the locker room, on the playing field and in the community. He’s a special kid who we want to maintain a part of our program.” Peters started nine games last season, making 47 tackles, six tackles for loss and four sacks. Peters will graduate in the spring, but said that he hopes to stick around the program one more year to help out in any way he can. It’s been a constant battle my whole career,” Peters said in a statement. “I was trying to get through workouts, but I was struggling. I talked a lot to our doctors and trainers and they were giving me advice. I probably

had this decision made a while ago, but we were just starting winter workouts, which is our hardest regimen. “I didn’t want to say I was in too much pain to be doing this stuff anymore. I love my teammates so much. I love this coaching staff. I love what they are doing to change the culture here. I wanted to try to be a leader during winter workouts and help guys get through it. “I wanted to be there participating with them and not just cheering them on, so I finished winter workouts with them and decided it was time to hang up the cleats. I told the team [Monday] morning about my decision. They are very important to me and I wanted them to know the reason I am here is for them.”

Senior Elyse Brouillette has always been a standout for the ISU dive team. She has racked up numerous awards at Iowa State and most notably earned Iowa State’s Most Valuable Diver award her freshman, sophomore and junior year. Two words sum up her time at Iowa State: exciting and adventurous. This season, Brouillette broke the school record for 1-meter diving on senior night against Big 12 rival Kansas, something she didn’t expect to accomplish, especially during her last home meet as a Cyclone. “It was just a lot of emotion,” Brouillette said. “Coming in on Saturday morning, I was kind of like, ‘Eh, I don’t think I can do the same that I did Friday night.’ But it was just a fun atmosphere; I had my family there, I had my teammates there. The excitement made it just so fun.” At the Big 12 conference championship this year, Brouillette broke her own personal best on platform for the season. She said she doesn’t get much practice on the high-level boards, so she just goes to the meets and wings it. “At that point, I have to rely on my experience of doing those dives before in the past,” Brouillette said. “It was exciting to see it all get put together … it’s just that element of trust in myself and in Jeff

[Warrick’s] coaching that everything is going to get put together.” The Big 12 Conference Championships were record breaking for the team as a whole, as all three divers moved on from prelims to finals on platform. This was a first for not only the diving program but also for Warrick. Brouillette said it felt fantastic to have the team all hit season bests and have all three on the podium. NCAA Zones will feature four members of the ISU dive squad in College Station, Texas. Brouillette notes for all four years, the team sent one additional diver each season. In her freshman year, Brouillette was the only one to go. Sophomore year had two divers. In her junior season, the team sent three. And in her senior year, four ISU divers will make the trip to zones.

• Team Captain (2014-15, 2015-16) • All-Big 12 FirstTeam: Platform (2015) • All-Big 12 SecondTeam: One-Meter (2013, 2014, 2015), Platform (2013, 2014) • Big 12 Diver of the Week (Dec. 12, 2012; Nov. 20, 2013) • ISU Most Valuable Diver (2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15) • ISU Newcomer of the Year (2012-13) Records Having more people makes it more fun and more of a team atmosphere, Brouillette said. Brouillette has been one of the top scorers all four years of her career, but she said she’s never really noticed it. “I do my job,” Brouillette said. “I go through, I practice, I work really hard.” Throughout her time at Iowa State, Brouillette feels she can’t let the team go. Brouillette plans on being a volunteer coach and hopes to help with the diving club next year. “It’ll be weird to be on the other side, but I’ll get to be there and be able to push them,” Brouillette said.

FASHION MONTH CAPTURED IN 4 CITIES Anna Chandler/Iowa State Daily

Fashion month reached an end for the fall/winter 2016 after making appearances in New York, London, Milan and Paris. New York historically began as the first city to kick off fashion month.

By Anna.Chandler @iowastatedaily.com The “Big 4” has come to a close. And no, we’re not talking about March Madness. From New York to London, Milan and Paris, fashion month has closed up shop for the fall/winter 2016 season. The fashion week tradition first started in 1943 in New York, even before Paris stepped up to establish itself. Contrary to the deeply rooted history, London is the youngest, beginning in 1984. Milan and Paris also became centers for hosting exhibitions throughout the 20th century.

The cultures and luxuries of each show and trends emerging from the cities vary. New York historically began as the first city to kick off fashion month. Known for sportswear, New York also attracts the largest amount of media. London is on deck; the young and trendy city invites some of the newest designers to make a name for themselves. Fashionistas then travel to Italy for shows in Milan. The craftsmanship and beauty allow for some of the most luxurious collections. Days later, they head back north to finish the season in the city of love, Paris. The most extravagant and ex-

clusive set the tone for haute couture. Fewer celebrities are buzzing, and industry professionals find themselves front row making deals for the next season at the Parisian exhibitions. Those gowns you see sauntering across the red carpets typically come from couture houses, originating in Paris. The detail of embellishments and tailoring has set the city apart since the early 1900s. Although Paris is the home of couture, word on the street is that Milan is the capital of great fashion. The culture, beauty and glamour influences industries on a wide scale. From architecture to food, fashion and all things beauty, Italy continues to be

the place to look. New York and London stand strong along these two renowned cities with their effortless street style and celebrity sightings galore. While European countries influence international trends, New York’s culture is domestically focused. So how are these clothes eventually landing in the closets of young women and men? Alongside the highest names in fashion, sitting in the front rows also include many buyers who are rapidly jotting down notes and illustrations to bring back to their companies. Fast fashion trends then trickle down from city to city and closet to closet.

Spring Break trends

To cut your hair, or not?

Sport style wherever you venture

By Caitlyn.McCreight @iowastatedaily.com

By Brittany.Moon @iowastatedaily.com Depending on where one might be traveling to for a Spring Break getaway, the trends that you might see could differ from someone else. As far as fashion is concerned, a few trends will be noticeable all over. When packing for a weeklong getaway, in a tropical location or elsewhere, it can be difficult narrowing down the select items you should pack. A few trends that have been popping up will work no matter where you spend Spring Break. The first trend that has been showing up recently and will even more so during the spring is the cold shoulder top. Whether it’s a long- or short-sleeved top, one with shoulder cutouts can be a great way to show a little skin but continue to look fashion forward. A similar trend that is more applicable to the spring months is the offthe-shoulder top. These blouses tend to be made of structured but flowing fabrics. They tend to include ruffles near the top, across

the shoulders and tend to be shorter but not necessarily a crop top. The next trend that will soon gain momentum and has a bit already are sheer and mesh pieces. This would include cutouts with mesh insets, a sheer top as a swim coverup or over the top of a tank top. These billowy fabrics will be popular during spring and summer time because of the breathability of the fabrics. These cutouts and insets will be seen in swimwear as well as tops, yoga pants and bralettes. Swimwear is always an important aspect of a tropical Spring Break trip. This season is all about the high neck tops and one pieces. Although one-piece swimsuits have been considered maternal for many years now, a modern twist has brought them back to the light of day. The newer styles to keep an eye out for will include cutouts, open backs, strappy backs, very high-cut leg openings and graphic fronts. These graphic pieces of swimwear will include a single term or phrase that will help you stand out. Some popular phrases across a variety of websites are Bae-watch, Amuse and Ibeza. Cleavage-bearing swimwear is getting a run for its money this season with high-neck and open-back

tops. Some of the most popular options include bold patterns as well as some made of neoprene, which is worn by surfers. The third trend is a twist on an old favorite: the oxford shirt. A classic silhouette that has stood the test of time will now be altered to fit into the closets of more consumers. Whether it has cutouts up and down the arms, is sleeveless and cropped or turned into an oversized pullover with a menswear feel, options will be available for everyone. The final trend, which is one of the biggest and most widely accessible, is the combination of gypsy, bohemian silhouettes and a 1970s vibe. We will start seeing flared jeans, bold floral prints, choppy bangs and over-sized flowing maxi dresses, lace up gladiator sandals and lace insets all over the place. Vintage pieces are also coming back into play with the 1970s trend returning to the scene.

For anyone with long hair, cutting it short can be a big decision and an even bigger one if you have never done it before. However, that doesn’t mean you should be afraid of making such a drastic change. Hair always grows back, and haven’t you ever wondered what you would look like with short hair? For someone who has always had long hair, I know firsthand there is a lot to consider when deciding whether to cut it. One of the first things to consider is what you want in the end. What do you want it to look like? When deciding which style of cut you want, consider the shape of your face. Just because the pixie cut looks gorgeous on Jennifer Lawrence doesn’t necessarily mean it will look great on you. You’ll want a haircut that complements your face shape and minimizes your negative attributes while emphasizing your beauty. With spring blossoming and summer just around the corner, long hair can be a hassle to maintain in warmer weather. “It was summertime, and I had really long hair,” Alisa Behrens, junior in community and regional planning, said about the time when she first decided to cut her hair. “I was also inspired by

Abby Wambach after the U.S. women’s soccer team won the World Cup.” Having shorter hair on days when humidity is through the roof could feel like a blessing from the hair gods. Don’t get me wrong, I love the basic pony tail, but being able to have your hair down at a summer barbecue or Fourth of July party could make all the difference in your attitude. If you look good, you feel good. “I actually felt invigorated afterward,” Behrens said. “It felt like I had a fresh start, and I was ready for something new.” Deciding how much maintenance you’re willing to give your hair is also important. If you like taking 30 minutes to curl/ straighten your hair, go for it. But if you’re over all that work, cutting your hair could be a great decision. Not having to take as much time getting ready

in the morning could help you complete other tasks like sleeping in just a little longer. “I definitely take less time showering; however, styling can be an issue because I usually wake up with bedhead, so I typically have to do something to it,” Behrens said. As Lilly from “The Princess Diaries” would say, “Voltaire, hair. I would personally like to learn about Voltaire.” Though Lilly may have been distracting the class away from Mia’s new hair, she was basically saying hair is no big deal, and we should embrace a new do rather than fret it. “I was pretty confident with it after I cut it,” Behrens said. “I was more worried that my hair was something to hide behind and that I wouldn’t be as feminine looking as others might think, but that didn’t stop me from loving my new look.”

WAL-MART p1 “Our job is to get them attracted to Ames,” Hall said. The city of Ames is currently home to several stores that provide grocery items, including Wal-Mart, Wal-Mart Supercenter, Target, Hy-Vee, Fareway, Wheatsfield Cooperative and a local farmer’s market that spans more than 20 weekends in late spring through early fall. “Each store has a different focus and a different

WOMEN’S DAY p3 Women’s Day is a big deal,” Dimitrova said. “I would always, as a child, bring flowers to my mom as a kind of sign as respect toward women and recognizing their role. When I came here, it wasn’t so popular, and I think even now people don’t know about it that much.” Other sponsors for the event included the Ames

CLIMATE p3 istry. “I thought there were some interesting points,” Brown said. “She had and a few perspectives I hadn’t thought about.” Kyle Tacoronte, sophomore in industrial design, said he enjoyed attending the lecture and listening to Robinson speak. “I thought it was really good,” Tacoronte said. “It’s nice to know people are trying to work to fix these problems.” Throughout the lecture, Robinson stressed the importance of coming together as a global community to provide clean energy for all, which ultimately affects the safety of billions of people. “We don’t talk so much about climate change as climate justice,” Robinson said. “Human-induced activity can cause whole countries to go out of existence unless we take a different course.”

attraction for clients,” Hall said. Sadie Lewman, junior in materials engineering, agrees that the various stores in Ames cater to specific customers. “As someone who prefers to shop locally, I doubt a new Wal-Mart Supercenter would change my personal shopping habits a whole lot,” Lewman said. Despite the myriad options available to Ames residents, Hall said WalMart determined the market need for additional

resources. Wal-Mart purchased the Dahl’s building without any recruiting efforts from the city. “Truthfully, we really didn’t have much to do with Wal-Mart’s interest in the supercenter here in Ames,” Hall said. “Businesses know where business is good.” Hall added that Wal-Mart was not offered any incentives, like tax abatement, to develop in north Ames. The city of Ames has several initiatives in place to develop smaller, local

businesses, including the Campustown Action Association and the Main Street program. “Our interests are to keep a healthy downtown full of local shops and businesses,” Hall said. Hall said Ames values and encourages small business, but the reality is that residents expect a balance. Lewman acknowledged demand for a supercenter. “I do think it would be a benefit to people who live in the area,” Lewman said. “The variety of products

that supercenters carry is kind of the norm now.” Lewman also cited the “outdated” appearance of the current Wal-Mart on Grand and traffic congestion on Duff as reasons a new supercenter may succeed in north Ames. “The truth is that a lot of folks expect to be able to go to some of these large box retailers,” Hall said. Despite nationwide criticism for stifling small business, Hall said he does not worry about another supercenter affecting any of

Ames’ local businesses. “It’s not the addition of a new store,” Hall said, adding that it’s instead the expansion of an already existing one. “It’s in its own remote area where it’s going to be able to better serve to meet the demands of the people that live in that area.” Wheatsfield Cooperative and Fareway declined to comment on the addition of another Wal-Mart Supercenter in Ames. Hy-Vee could not be reached for comment.

Public Library, the League of Women Voters of Story County, Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support, Iowa Resource for International Service, Worldly Goods and Wheatsfield Cooperative. Andrea Mallarino, moderator for the event and advocate at ACCESS, said she hoped people would walk away from the event with a sense of empowerment and involvement.

“The biggest thing is to get an idea of the organizations that are in our community and how there are people really fighting for this equality and making change happen,” Mallarino said. “There are things you can do to help fight this individually and as a group.” The theme for this year’s event was Pledge for Parity, with an emphasis on parity, or equality, in regard to the ongoing gender pay gap is-

sue facing women. Globally, social media users have been using the hashtag #PledgeForParity to raise awareness about gender inequality in hopes of individuals making their own pledge to help accelerate gender parity around the world. At the end of the event, participants wrote down their own pledges and placed them on a board labeled “What are you pledg-

ing for?” This year marks the second year the event has been more interactive based with open-ended discussion in small groups instead of having just one or two guest speakers. Kimberly Hope, event coordinator, spoke about how increasing interaction has been a success for the event because it encourages communication and sparks conversation among

participants. “We really think that every woman has a story to tell, and there is a lot of injustice in the world that people can speak to,” Hope said. “Even if they haven’t experienced it — I think that they see it. Instead of just having one person tell us about their successes, why not have everyone talk about their own successes and struggles and work together?”
