GOP unveils replacement plan for Obamacare By Danielle.Gehr @iowastatedaily.com House Republicans announced their plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare, with the American Health Care Act. ACA is only hurting people, according to the House of Representatives Republican website, which states that premiums
increased by an average of 25 percent per year and that 35 percent fewer health care providers accept Obamacare than private insurers. The American Health Care Act would move away from many aspects of the ACA but would maintain coverage for people with pre-existing conditions and allow children to stay on their parents’ insurance until they turn 26. The plan would include establishing a pa-
tient and state stability fund that would give states $100 billion to create health care plans that would benefit their citizens’ needs. This plan would give citizens a monthly tax credit that would be about $2,000 to $14,000 a year for low- and middle-income families and individuals who don’t receive insurance from work or a government program. This system would replace Obamacare subsidies. The reasoning given is that,
according to the House Republicans, the subsidies leave millions of families and individuals in the middle class without help to pay for health care. This act is backed by both President Donald Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan. Trump took to Twitter to show support for the bill, ending with, “Time to end this nightmare.”

TWO DECADES OF
BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIPS Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily
Former Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg cuts down the nets at the Sprint Center with his children after the Cyclones’ win in the 2015 Big 12 Championship game.
A look back at Iowa State’s 3 conference tournament crowns By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com The Big 12 Championship will kick off its 21st tournament Wednesday night when TCU takes on Oklahoma at 6 p.m. at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri. Throughout 20 tournaments, there have been five different winners: Kansas (10), Oklahoma (3), Iowa State (3), Oklahoma State (2) and Missouri (2). Here’s a look back at the three crowns for Iowa State. 2000: The turnaround The 1999-2000 season has gone down as one of the best in Iowa State basketball history.
The Cyclones went 32-5 that season and barreled through to the Elite Eight round of the NCAA Tournament, taking the Big 12 Championship as a prize along the way. But the expectations didn’t start out with so much glamor. Iowa State was picked to finish sixth in the Big 12 during the preseason that year and sat unranked. The big reason was because of uncertainty. Larry Eustachy was in his second season coaching the Cyclones, and they had gone a measly 15-15 in the previous year, failing to make the NCAA Tournament. Jamaal Tinsley had just transferred from Mt. San Jacinto College in Cali-
fornia, and the Cyclones had lost a wealth of players in the offseason. It was just hard to get a gauge on how Iowa State would mesh. “I don’t think people knew what to make of us. And I don’t know if I knew what to make of things,” said Paul Shirley, who played for the Cyclones from 1996-2001. “I don’t think we had a particular chip on our shoulder. But we assumed that we’d be pretty good because we had [Marcus] Fizer on our team. That was usually conducive to winning.” Conducive to winning is right. After losing to Drake and No. 1 Cincinnati in the non-conference season,

Faculty Senate raises transfer GPA to 2.25 By Robert.Roberson @iowastatedaily.com Faculty Senate voted on a raise in the transfer GPA and eliminating the “summer option” during its meeting Tuesday. The GPA requirement excludes students who have attained an associate degree and will raise the minimum transfer GPA from 2.0 to 2.25. The increase cited one-year student retention rates and six-year graduation rates. This change will take place in the fall of 2019. The summer option allowed students who had a Regent Admission Index (RAI) below the required 245 to take classes the summer before their first fall semester. The bill stated that roughly 50 students take part in the sum-
mer option and said that only half of them were successful. The bill also referred to 60 percent two-year retention rates for these students. This change will take place in the summer of 2018. Sturm made note of three bills in the state legislature: the tenure bill, the political party among faculty bill and the concealed carry bill. “Three bills were introduced over this legislative session that had they passed unaltered may well have threatened the freedom to teach and learn upon, which higher education and our own teaching futures depend,” Sturm said. Sturm went on to defend tenure as “not job security, but it is idea security.” He attacked the political party bill, calling it a danger when Iowa State works hard to increase the sense of welcome.

Various topics were discussed during the Faculty Senate meeting Wednesday including the election of Athletic Council Representatives.
Finally, Sturm discussed the concealed carry bill, mentioning that it had been amended to exclude regent universities. “It is my view that weaponizing the people of the campus likely diminishes the freedom faculty may feel to pass knowl-
edge forward in the unrestricted manor that academic freedom allows,” Sturm said. Sturm went on to mention President Donald Trump’s new travel ban, saying it undermines

Iowa State announced Tuesday that Dakota Access, the company overseeing the construction of the Dakota Access, or Bakken, pipeline, will help fund research by the university into the effects of construction on farmland. Over a period of five years, researchers hope to gain a better understanding about the impact of construction utilities equipment, field traffic and deep tillage on crop yield and soil compaction, according to to a press release by the university. “We get phone calls anytime someone goes through and uses public right-of-way to do some construction in farm fields,” Mark Hanna, a scientist in agricultural and biosystems engineering, said. “People are interested in ‘Well, they’re going to be in my field, they’re going to disturb some land and some soil. How much damage is it going to do?’” Hanna said that this project should help answer some of those questions. There is always some remediation effort when farmland is affected by construction, Hanna said, adding that conducting further research into the impact of development on fertile farmland is in everyone’s best interest. The Dakota Access pipeline will cross about 18 acres of university-owned farmland. Researchers will be working to quantify impact of the construction on crop yield and soil compaction. The company will give $600,000 to Iowa State to fund the project, Hanna said. In the release, project leader Mehari Tekeste described the installation as “an opportunity for field-based research” to determine the impacts of the construction, especially in the long term. The study began this past fall, with researchers collecting initial data from two acres of university-owned farmland that will be impacted by the pipeline’s construction. Research farm staff will continue normal practices during the growing season, with a cornsoybean rotation. Hanna said the team will continue to follow up on the area to determine the effects of the construction not only on the soil but also on crops. In Iowa, the Dakota Access pipeline will cross about 5,740 acres of farmland, according to Dakota Access. The total cost of the pipeline is approximately $3.8 billion.

The Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) implements techniques to make the reporting process easier to keep it victim centered and in its control.
Sexual assault is a complex and horrible issue. It is personal, it is heartbreaking and it is different in every case. But if we ever
want to put an end to sexual assault, we have to stop letting its complexity get in our way. This is the eighth story in a
semester-long series where the Daily will publish a multitude of stories related to sexual assault, including discussions about various

resources survivors can obtain if they are comfortable doing so. — Emily Barske, editor in chief
Sharing experience loses stigma By Alison.Boysen @iowastatedaily.com Reporting a sexual assault is not meant to be a difficult process, and Story County SART is trying to make it easier for survivors. For survivors of sexual assault, it may be hard to tell close friends or relatives about their assault and even more difficult to tell a complete stranger. The Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) implements techniques to make the reporting process easier to keep it
victim-centered and in its control. Both the Ames and ISU Police departments are part of SART, which has a mission to “serve sexual assault victims by coordinating an immediate, high-quality, multi-disciplinary, victim-centered response ...” This response will typically provide three groups of professionals: medical, law enforcement and advocacy. In Ames, the SART agencies include: ISU Police, Ames Police, Mary Greeley Medical Center, ACCESS (Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support) office and Thielen Student Health Center. Anthony Greiter, ISU police officer, is
trained in how to interact with survivors of sexual assault during the reporting process. “We’re not here to judge them,” Greiter said. “We may ask difficult questions, but we’re here to help.” The first thing a SART professional does is offer resources to the survivor and lets them choose how to proceed. If the survivor chooses to proceed, they decide how the process will unfold. Not all cases are the same because it all depends on the victim. The victim does not have to tell all of their story. They have the option of com-
pleting a sexual assault medical forensic exam and they can begin the steps to file charges. If they do choose to tell their story and names are mentioned, the police may automatically have to report the assault. “If they give me names and they are affiliated with the university, either suspect or victim, I have to report that to the university,” Greiter said. Iowa State University is required by federal guidelines to begin an investigation headed by the Office of Equal Opportunity and Title IX, which handles cases of dating

Councilman Tim Gartin questions Ames citizens asking for permission to host a concert on Main Street during a meeting on Wednesday.
Council grants requests to host events on Main Street By Chris.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com Ames City Council started its meeting Tuesday night with a proclamation from Mayor Ann Campbell setting the date of Eco Fair Day for March 25. Eco Fair Day is an annual Ames event that has been hosted for over a decade. The fair aims to educate Ames residents with information about water conservation, reducing electric consumption, low-impact landscaping, sustainable practices and conservation rebates. Eco Fair Day will take place in City Hall Community Center Gym. The event will be open to the public and will include booths, vendors, activities and displays educating Ames residents about conservation. Much time was spent debating aspects of various concerts and events being scheduled by the Ames Main Street Cultural District and London Underground. London Underground asked to host an event titled LondonFest, similar to Oktoberfest, on April 22. The event would be a 10-year anniversary celebration of London Underground and would feature live music,
games and a ferris wheel. The council passed the resolution granting London Underground owner Jess Clyde permission to close off sections of main street and serve alcohol outside during the event. A series of concerts taking place on Main Street called Firefly Country Nights has been the subject of much debate in recent council meetings. Two Iowa State students spoke to the council about why they think these kinds of events are a good idea. Amy Strandell and Abby Johnson, seniors in event management, got involved with the organization of the events through their entrepreneurship class. Strandell and Johnson got the opportunity to interview with Clyde, one of the main organizers behind the events. “With our peers and with the help of the Ames Police Department, we do believe we will be able to host a safe event,” Strandell said. Strandell also felt that the fact that these concerts will be taking place away from Campustown further reinforces the safety of the event.

Celebrating women at home, overseas By Mary.Pautsch @iowastatedaily.com International Women’s Day has been celebrated worldwide for more than a hundred years, uniting people to fight for gender equality on March 8. The first official International Women’s Day was celebrated on March 19, 1911, in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Denmark. More than a million men and women rallied for women’s rights to work, vote, hold public office and end discrimination. Today, International Women’s Day is celebrated differently across the globe. It is a recognized national holiday in 27 countries, but not in the United States. In some countries, such as Italy, women get the day off work. Many use the day to bring attention to various issues regarding gender and feminism. “It’s important to have an International Women’s Day because every other day
is ‘international men’s day,’” Christiana Langenberg, advising coordinator for women’s and gender studies, said. “It’s kind of sad that we only get to set aside one single day for all women.” Emily Southard, co-director of the Society of the Advancement of Gender Equity (SAGE), also agreed that it’s important to focus on what is happening not only in the United States but also overseas. “The struggles of women are connected to the struggles of classism, nationalism, racism and imperialism,” Southard said. “Women deserve human rights everywhere, not just in the wealthier countries.” Southard also said that women’s lives are more at stake in other countries than in the United States. “There are 10 million missing women in the world due to femicide and gender bias,” she said.

Born and raised in Ames, Iowa, Ada Hayden lived an inspirational life. From her fight to preserve the prairies to becoming the fourth person, and the first woman, at Iowa State to receive a Ph.D., she will always be remembered for her remarkable success. It all started on Aug. 14, 1844, on a farm just north of Ames. During her childhood, Hayden developed a love for prairies that later showed in her work and her research. She enjoyed photography and writing, as well as her work in conservation, much of which included taking care of the land. “She started out promoting conservation very early on and was really the first to try and push for setting prairies aside,” Deb Lewis, curator in ecology, evolution and organismal biology, said. Hayden graduated from Ames High School in 1904. Hayden was also well known for her connection to Iowa State. Around the time she was entering college, she was pushing for prairie areas to be preserved. At the time, the state did not protect prairies. Iowa had the state parks system, but it didn’t have the state preserves system. She earned a bachelor of science degree in 1908. She then received a master of science degree from Washington University in St. Louis in 1910. Soon after, she went back to Iowa
Libra - 6

State University after receiving her second master’s degree. This was around the time that Iowa State began the Ph.D program. Despite the barriers of the time, she was able to get into the program and received her doctorate in philosophy in 1918, according to statistics in Special Collections and University Archives in Parks Library. “The coolest elements of the story are first of all her history as a woman in science and then second, even more specifically, her history as a woman in science here at Iowa State,” Amy Bix, professor of history at Iowa State, said. In the 1940s, Hayden received $100 from the Iowa Academy of Science to survey the state’s remaining prairies. By this time, a lot of Iowa had already been plowed up for growing crops because prairie soil is so rich. She traveled around the state, visiting all of the different prairies that remained. This included wet prairies, dry prairies, sand prairies and more. During her research, Hayden proposed that the state consider 22 sites she believed represented the diversity of prairie in Iowa. Hayden was an assistant professor of botany from 1919 to 1950 and was named curator of the herbarium from 1947 to 1950. During her career, she added more than 40,000 specimens to the herbarium. Today, it contains over 650,000 specimens in total. “The thing about Ada Hayden of course is that she went so much
deeper than a number of other women and then deeper than a number of men [by] going not only for a master’s degree, but a doctorate and then becoming an assistant professor,” Bix said. “She was pursuing at a very high level.” Her work in conservation and with the herbarium was linked in the sense that she was out doing various kinds of studies even before she started her prairie project. She did a survey of all the plants that grew in the southern part of Iowa’s lakes regions. While she was working on that, she was collecting samples of plants to document her work. In late 1949, Hayden was diagnosed with cancer. She died soon after in August 1950. Shortly after her death, the state bought three of the 22 prairies, one of which they named after her. The Ada Hayden State Preserve in Howard County, Iowa, was named after Hayden by the Iowa Conservation Commission. In 1988, the herbarium was named Ada Hayden Herbarium, which can be found on Iowa State’s campus on the third floor of Bessey Hall. In 2002, it was proposed that the land just southwest of the farm she had growing up in north Ames be named after Ada Hayden. After a lot of discussion and compromise, the park became Ada Hayden Heritage Park. “She never married. She devoted her life to her work here,” Lewis said. “I wish I’d had a chance to meet her and talk to her.”
tered system that will give all Americans access to health care. In mid-January, U.S. Rep. Steve King voted yes to the 2017 Budget Resolution, stating that it was the first step in repealing ACA. He has not yet released a statement on whether he supports the proposed replacement. Those in opposition to the bill have come up with names such as “Obamacare Lite,” “RyanCare” and “RINOcare.” Freedom Works, a conservative
group, released plans to raise funds to take down the Obamacare replacement. “Our activists are furious at this betrayal and at this step toward breaking campaign promises made for the better part of the decade,” Noah Wall, national director of campaigns, said. The opposition from Republicans could be problematic when trying to get the bill passed. If all Democrats vote no as expected, they can only afford to lose 21 Republican votes.
The council noted its concern for hosting the event on this day, as it is a day city police resources are already stretched thin. Cy-Hawk weekend is also a time when Ames sees an influx of visitors and parties. In an earlier meeting, Ames Chief of Police Charles Cychosz likened the weekend to the new Veishea.

Ryan Young/Iowa State Daily
Big 12 basketball coaches pose for a picture at the 2016-2017 Big 12 baskeball media days in October, 2016, at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
CROWNING THE CHAMPION The 2017 Big 12 Championship starts on Wednesday in Kansas City
By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Wednesday marks the start of the 2017 Big 12 Championship at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri. The hype surrounding this year’s tournament is incredibly high — as it should be, considering how strong the Big 12 was this season. The conference ranks second in both the ratings percentage index (RPI) and strength of schedule nationwide. It boasts the No. 1 team in the nation, three others in the AP Top 25 and one sitting just outside the rankings at No. 27. Eight of the 10 teams in the league finished the season with a winning record. And as of Tuesday, ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi projected that five teams from the conference would earn a bid to the NCAA Tournament. CBS bracketologist Jerry Palm projected six would make the “Big Dance.” Yet many in the Big 12 don’t think that’s quite enough. “Eight,” Oklahoma State coach Brad Underwood said when asked how many teams deserve to make the NCAA Tournament. “I don’t think we’ll get eight [teams], but I think we should. I think this league is by far and away the best league in the country. “I’ve really grown to appreciate how good the coaching is, how good the players are, and I think sometimes we want to put too
much emphasis on wins and losses in terms of within the league. Every night, when you throw in the Big 12/SEC Challenge, we’ve all been on a 19-game grind, and every single night has been a high, high level. The games are so close. They’re decided by a multitude of factors. That bodes well, and not any other conference can say that.” This week in Kansas City marks a chance for many teams to improve their seeding for the tournament, or even push them off the bubble — something a few teams could use. Iowa State coach Steve Prohm knows the opportunity is there for several teams to make a run at a tournament bid, too, and hopes the selection committee doesn’t fault Big 12 teams for their rigorous conference schedules. “We’re the No. 2 RPI league in the country. We probably should get more than five teams in,” Prohm said. “We shouldn’t be hurt
by beating each other up. Some leagues sometimes get benefitted by beating each other up; we
That’s not much of a surprise, though. Coach Bruce Weber and company lost six of their eight games in February and haven’t had a quality win in over a month. And while they do have solid wins over Oklahoma State, West Virginia and Baylor, their non-conference schedule is nothing to look twice at. Kansas State did bounce back and win two games in a row to end the season, though. And if it is going to climb back into tournament consideration, Weber knows it starts with its opening game against No. 9 Baylor. “All we told the players yesterday is that we just have to focus on getting another win,” Weber said. “We have to focus on the Big 12 tournament. Our first opportunity is Baylor. You’re talking about a team that people have as either a 2 or a 3 seed [in the NCAA Tourna-

shouldn’t be hurt by beating each other up. Hopefully some of these other teams, our No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8 seeds can put themselves in a position this week to get in.” Kansas State is one of those teams. The Wildcats, who were ranked No. 25 in week 10, were once projected to make the tournament. Now, Lunardi has them as one of his “First Teams Out.”
ment], so if you can win that game, it’s got to help you.” Yet after the grind of a tough 19-game stretch, entering tournament play can be difficult. If one is going to win the championship, it has to play near-perfect basketball three, if not four, nights in a row against some of the best competition in the country. West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said the difference in tournament time is simple — especially for teams that might not be a lock for a postseason tournament. “I think the difference is in the finality,” Huggins said. “You can’t say, ‘OK, on to the next game,’ because they’re aren’t any.” Regardless of any implications, Prohm said he expects this year’s tournament to be extremely competitive. In his eyes, there isn’t a weak spot heading into the Sprint Center. “You’ve got three teams tied for second place,” Prohm said. “You’ve got Kansas who is obviously the No. 1 seed and the league champion, and then you’ve got a team like Oklahoma State, who has played really, really well the last two months. I think TCU is very good. I know they’re on a little losing streak right now … but they’ve done some really good things this year. You’ve still got [Texas] Tech, K-State, all those guys. “I think it’ll be extremely competitive each game. I think each one of these games, from the No. 7 vs. No. 10 game all the way to the championship, will be a lot of fun to be a part of.”

WHO WILL WIN? By Aaron.Marner @iowastatedaily.com Big 12 basketball has changed quite a bit over the past decade. Players like Kevin Durant, Michael Beasley, Buddy Hield and Georges Niang have come and gone. Four teams left the Big 12 and two new teams joined. But one thing has remained constant over the last 10 years: nobody can dethrone the Kansas Jayhawks. No. 1 Kansas has finished in first place — or a tie for first — in the Big 12 every year since 2003-
04, which was coach Bill Self’s first season there. Of course, that doesn’t guarantee a win in the Big 12 Tournament, but Kansas is consistently the best team in the league. Basically, Kansas owns Big 12 basketball, and this year is no exception. Led by Big 12 Player of the Year and National Player of the Year candidate Frank Mason III, Kansas has run through its schedule with relative ease this season. The Jayhawks have knocked off top-25 teams such as Kentucky, Duke, Baylor and Iowa State — and those are just the teams they have beaten away from home. Do other teams — such as West Virginia, Iowa State and Baylor — have a chance to win the Big 12 Championship? Certainly, but the odds are in Kansas’ favor. With the tournament being played just 40 minutes from Lawrence, Kansas, the Jayhawks will have a huge crowd in at-

tendance for each game. Maybe a team can stop Mason from reaching his typical 20 points and five assists per game, but can they also stop Josh Jackson, a likely top-five pick in this summer’s NBA Draft? Both Jackson and Mason were named All-Big 12 First Team over the weekend. During Big 12 play, Kansas ranks second in the league in offensive field goal percentage and third in defensive field goal percentage. Led by Mason at nearly 50 percent, Kansas hits almost 10 3-pointers per game. Simply put, Kansas is better than every other team in the conference and probably better than every other team across the country. With a Kansas-friendly arena and the best player in the conference, the Jayhawks are poised to take home the Big 12 Championship crown for the second consecutive year.
By Austin.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com West Virginia doesn’t just have wins over the top two teams in the Big 12 — the Mountaineers have wins over the top two teams in the country. Kansas is the presumptuous best team in college basketball. It has the No. 1 ranking and is full speed ahead to be the No. 1 overall seed when teams start dancing in the NCAA tournament. Heck, if the Jayhawks secure a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament this year, they’ll have been a No. 1 seed in seven of the past 11 tournaments. The other four years? Three No. 2 seeds,
one No. 3 seed. But who handled the kings of college basketball this season better than West Virginia? Nobody. The Mountaineers demolished the Jayhawks by 16 points in late January. Everybody knows West Virginia likes to play defense so harassing that, if anybody got that close to you on the street, you would have 911 dialed up faster than Steve Prohm could even take off his suit jacket. West Virginia caused Kansas’ backcourt of Josh Jackson, Frank Mason III and Devonte Graham to turn the ball over 10 times in the team’s first meeting. That might be more than Monté Morris has turned it over in his life. Mason is the Big 12 Player of the Year, and deservedly so. What’s the best way to keep a potential first-team all-America point guard in check? How about with the best defensive player in the conference, Javon Carter, in his hip pocket for 40 minutes. I get it was just one game.

But it should have been a sweep for West Virginia over Kansas. It would have been if not for some Bill Self sort of tomfoolery that led to an epic West Virginia collapse in Phog Allen Fieldhouse. The Mountaineers had a commanding double-digit lead in the final few minutes over the Jayhawks but unraveled in an overtime loss. West Virginia will have to get past the Texas Tech/ Texas winner and presumably Baylor to reach Kansas in the finals of the tournament, but with Baylor faltering late, that shouldn’t be too challenging of a task. It is possible Baylor could bounce back or Iowa State could net a ridiculous amount of threes to shake things up. But with Kansas facing the “Press Virginia” defense in its third game in three days, the Jayhawks will struggle. In a Big 12 title game we are destined to see, West Virginia will have another double-digit lead on Kansas in the final minutes. Only this time, the Mountaineers will hold on.

THE PICK LUKE MANDERFELD
Iowa State vs. Oklahoma State
Oklahoma State 84, Iowa State 79 This is a classic case of two hot teams meeting at the perfect time. Before Iowa State beat Oklahoma State last Tuesday, the Cowboys had won six straight games. The Cyclones have won seven of their last nine games. They’ve also swept Oklahoma State this season. But, as anyone knows, it’s hard to beat a team three times in a season, especially in the Big 12. The Cyclones will have the upper-hand in terms of fan support down in Kansas City, but I think Oklahoma State will shake off its two losses to Iowa State and pull out the victory.

RYAN YOUNG
Iowa State 89, Oklahoma State 85 It’s a hard task to beat a team three times in one season — and I generally don’t ever bet on that to happen. But this time, Iowa State is going to pull off that difficult feat and sneak by Oklahoma State with a win. It’ll no doubt be a tough task. Oklahoma State is an incredibly talented team, and pulled off an impressive stretch in February to grab six wins and keep them in postseason consideration. But Iowa State is just as hot — its won seven of its last nine games. I don’t think the loss at West Virginia last Friday will snap the Cyclones’ streak. They’ll sneak past the Cowboys Thursday, moving into the semifinal round of the Big 12 Championship.
Assistant sports editor
BEN VISSER
Iowa State 89, Oklahoma State 85 This game is going to come down to the last minute. Whichever team hits the clutch shots at the end of the game will walk away the victor. And if recent history has told us anything, it’s Iowa State that usually gets the win. While Phil Forte has been at Oklahoma State for roughly 30 years, Iowa State is still the more experienced team. That experience will push the Cyclones over the edge. Monté Morris and Naz Mitrou-Long both have experience hitting big shots, while Matt Thomas and Deonte Burton have the ability to put the game away.
Assistant sports editor
EMILY BARSKE
Iowa State 82, Oklahoma State 76 Though the game will be played at “Hilton South,” a win over Oklahoma State won’t come quite as easy as the Cyclones’ senior night in Hilton Coliseum last week. The Big 12 is the best conference in college basketball currently and no teams should be counted out, including Oklahoma State. Shots will have to fall from all spots on the floor if Iowa State wants to move past the Cowboys. After an unexpected loss in the first round of the Big 12 Championship last year, Iowa State will come in focused and be looking to make a statement in the first round.

Emily Barske: The case for Iowa State Why the Cyclones will win the Big 12 Championship By Emily.Barske @iowastatedaily.com Cyclone fans haven’t forgotten the back-to-back Big 12 Championship titles in 2014 and 2015. And it’s not likely Monte Morris, Matt Thomas and Naz MitrouLong, who played on those teams, have either. Those three seniors know what it takes to get the job done at “Hilton South,” but this year will be different. Why? Because the Big 12 is different. The Big 12 is no longer just a “good” league in the country. It’s the best conference, a basketball powerhouse conference and an unpredictable conference. That being said, Iowa State has a chance — not just because of the cliche “anything can happen in March” — but because they have a team loaded with invaluable assets that can compete with anyone on the right day. But in a tournament, they have to have consecutive “right days.” So if No. 23 Iowa State (20-10, 12-6 Big 12) is going to pull out a title and take home the trophy, here’s how:
TAKE IT DOWNTOWN Iowa State leads the Big 12 in the number of 3-pointers made with 299 on the year. They’ll need a few more during the tournament if they want to come away the champions.
BIG 12 p1 Fizer led the way for the Cyclones in Big 12 play, as they finished 14-2 in the conference and undefeated at Hilton Coliseum. Fizer wound up with Big 12 Player of the Year honors. The hype from the dominance in the season carried over into the postseason. 2000 was just the fourth year of the Big 12 and Kansas had won the first three Big 12 Championships. But there was a different buzz around that year’s tournament, which was at the Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri. “I remember vividly how much excitement there was in the air,” said Shirley, who didn’t play in the tournament due to a broken foot. “Because Iowa State hadn’t been this good in a while. There was this kind of electricity in the air.” The Cyclones, who entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed, rattled off three wins against Baylor, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma to grab the Big 12 title. Fizer was, once again, excellent, earning the championship’s most valuable player award. He broke a tournament record with 38 points against Baylor and put up
Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily
Iowa State celebrates in the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri, after winning the Big 12 Championship in 2015. The Cyclones will head back to the tournament this Thursday.
Not only that, but they need the 3’s to come from more than one player — and they’ve proven that more than one player can shoot them. If Iowa State shoots well from downtown, it gives them a chance to get an early lead and get back on defense.
SOLID DEFENSE Iowa State is pretty low on the totem pole when it comes to letting its opponents get offensive re19 and 22 points across the next two games. When all was said and done that season, that uncertainty had given way to dominance. Tinsley won the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year award, and the Cyclones finished the season in the Elite Eight. They had improved their overall record by 17 games from the previous season. 2014 and 2015: Cementing a legacy Monte Morris still watches videos of the shot all the time. He calls it the best one of his career. It was March 12, 2015, in the second round of the Big 12 Championship. The Cyclones had rallied back from a 10-point deficit against Texas in the final three minutes and 48 seconds of the game. But they were still one basket short of pulling off an improbable victory. Out of a timeout, Morris took the ball up the court with clear intent — he only had about five seconds. It was an isolation play. It was all Morris. The rest of the team knew to stay away. Morris pushed the ball inside the right side of the 3-point line and stopped on a dime. He jumped back to take his shot over a lunging Demarcus Hol-
bounds, but that hasn’t stopped its defensive success this year. Many of the Big 12 teams are good shooters. So if the Cyclones are going to have a chance at stopping those offensive threats, they’ll have to contest shots. Too many times this season, Iowa State hasn’t gotten a hand in the face of the shooter — or if it has, the Cyclones have been up in the air allowing the other team to get any easy foul call.
That can’t happen in the tournament. The Cyclones need to play on-the-ball defense, get a hand up on the shooters and force a few fast breaks off turnovers.
FEED THE BEAST Solomon Young has made some freshman mistakes this season, which is kind of what you’d expect from a freshman. But in games he’s played well in, Young has added a big-man variable that is much needed for Iowa
State’s winning formula. With the way Iowa State can shoot, if it have a post player getting points in the paint too, the Cyclones be hard to beat. In order for Young to make a difference, he’s got to stay out of foul trouble. And he needs to selective with his fouls, making sure that he’s getting after the ball and not just letting the shooter catch him in the air. If he’s able to get good minutes, he’ll make the difference for Iowa State.

land. Nothing but net. ‘Yeah, for sure. I’ve made a few buzzer-beaters, but in front of that crowd and making that shot, that one is at the top of the list,” Morris said last week. “I still get chills.” That shot helped cement a legacy in the new decade of Big 12 Championships for the Cyclones, and the legacy of current seniors Morris, Naz Mitrou-Long and Matt Thomas. They went on to win that season’s Big 12 Tournament crown — their second straight conference tournament champion-
ship — but lose in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The 2014 and 2015 championships are riddled with unlikely victories. In the semifinals of the 2014 Big 12 Championship, a No. 16 Iowa State took on a No. 10 Kansas amid a clash of cardinal and blue colors at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. The Cyclones prevailed in an upset, and by double-digits, no less, 94-83. They went on to beat Baylor in the Big 12 Championship and roared all the way to the Sweet 16. “[That win] was huge,”
Mitrou-Long said. “I mean, it’s Kansas. Everybody looks at them in a different way, and they’ve earned that respect. I mean, 13-straight [conference titles] is not luck. But you come out and you beat the best by double-digits, it really makes a statement for your team and your program and what you believe in.” In 2015, the Cyclones eked out a win against Oklahoma in the semifinals by just two points. And in the finals, against Kansas, Iowa State fought back from a 17-point deficit to win and cut down the
THE CHEERING SECTION
Iowa State hasn’t been a great road team this season, so if they’re going to win the tournament then they’ll need to feel at home. This part of the formula is simple: pep from the cheer squad, Simeon Carter dance moves on the bench and loud cheers from the crowd. If Iowa State is going to cut down the nets in the best league in college basketball, the Sprint Center needs to feel like “Hilton South.” nets in the Sprint Center once again. At that point, it was the fifth straight game the Cyclones came back and rallied for a victory. But that may not have been the best part of it for Morris and Mitrou-Long, who are both entering their final Big 12 Championship as Cyclones. Kansas City is known as “Hilton South” to many Cyclone fans, and they plan on that fan support guiding them through the tournament again. “The best part about having senior night and playing my last game at Hilton is that it kind of wasn’t my last game,” Mitrou-Long said. “We have ‘Hilton South.’ And it is Hilton, just in a different location. How well we travel, that’s why I feel like we have an advantage over any team.” But a championship or not this season, MitrouLong, Morris and Thomas have done their part to ensure an Iowa State legacy at the Big 12 Championship. “For us to have those two wins under our belts, we’ll always be remembered as winners,” MitrouLong said. “And it comes to a place that deserves it most, and that’s Iowa State University.”

March is Women’s History Month. Columnist Spanbauer argues that the month ought to be celebrated more than it currently is.

Women’s History Month Celebrate women for determination, strength, grit By Peyton.Spanbauer @iowastatedaily.com
E
ach year, we dedicate months to certain heritages and groups of people in celebration of their culture and accomplishments. Our present month of March just so happens to be Women’s History month, but I bet you wouldn’t know that. I didn’t even know that. Not to discredit the other and equally important heritage months such as Black History, or Hispanic Heritage Month, but Women’s History is often overlooked and underappreciated. Why is it that we forget to shine light on the largest population of human beings on Planet Earth? What first began as a one-week celebration in Sonoma County, California, schools in 1978, in attempt to teach K-12 students about women’s history and women who have made significant marks in history, has now become a monthlong observance of the impact of women on the world. In 1980, former President Jimmy Carter declared the week of March 8 to be recognized as Women’s History Week. Then, in 1987, former President Ronald Reagan made the week into a month. The importance of having a month dedicated to women and girls is considerable. This is because we live in a
world where women are not viewed as equal to men. Because we are considered to be a minority, yet we are the majority. Because we are underrepresented in history. Because we live in a patriarchy. The lack of women we learn about in history class is reprehensible. This is in part because men, historically, have always had all the power and women who were able to make notable contributions to society and the world went largely unpraised. Women were also largely discouraged from doing anything besides being homemakers for much of history. Today, we still don’t see enough representation of women in any industry besides entertainment. Look at women in politics, for example. Women don’t even make up more than 26 percent in any area of government from Congress down to town mayors. Women in STEM fields are terribly scarce, too. According to the National Science Foundation, 11.1 percent of physicists and astronomers are women. The smallest representation of women is in the mechanical engineering workforce at 7.9 percent. A common and naive delusion is that fewer women are found in these fields because we’re simply not as capable as men. However, these numbers, along with negative stereotypes, send the message that women aren’t as capable and discourage young women from pursuing such degrees. In addition, women need to be celebrated for their sheer strength and determination throughout history in the battle for their rights.
Women have had to fight for everything that men have had handed to them. Women have had to protest, march and petition in order to be granted even the most basic and Constitutional of rights. Women had to fight for the right to vote, the right to play the same sports as men and the right to proper health care, including contraceptive care. Most of all, women have always, and still are, fighting to be taken seriously. By not properly observing Women’s History Month, society is saying that women’s accomplishments are not as credited as men’s. It tells women that they are lesser to their male counterparts, even when they succeed in overcoming the patriarchal system. Young children who grow up celebrating every month except Women’s History grow up with the notion that celebrating women isn’t as significant and, thus, women aren’t as significant. That couldn’t be less true, however. Strong-willed and determined women have created the world we live in today. I can vote thanks to Susan B. Anthony. I owe it to Elizabeth Smith Miller for my ability to wear jeans on a daily basis instead of skirts or dresses. Thanks to Valentina Tereshkova, I know women can become astronauts and make it to space. It is important to make a bigger deal out of Women’s History Month than we currently are. Having a month dedicated to women in such a manner illustrates women’s potential and power to succeed and make just as big of an impact as men can.
Facebook’s first move against fake news By Angelica.Lawson @iowastatedaily.com It is unfortunate that there has always been a presence of “fake news” in the media, and in recent days, there has been an overwhelming presence of it. The problem is that this fake news is circulating more than the facts, and because of analytics, these fake stories often appear at the top of searches and timelines. Countless fake news stories that claimed fake news played a vital role in the election results circulated during the presidential election. As a result of people’s dislike for fake news and viewers misinterpreting fake news for real news, Facebook debuted fake news tags on Sunday that will appear on these disputed posts. The tag actually reads “disputed news.” These fake news stories will be determined by an algorithm and then flagged if the story meets too many requirements. There is some potential backlash. People who share fake news stories are claiming that they are being censored and that Facebook is forcing some form of political agenda on them. Another potential conse-
quence of the disputed news tag is a decrease in engagement among users. This seems to be the biggest threat for Facebook, because if engagement decreases, the social media site will give leverage to its competition. Nonetheless, these arguments are invalid. The articles will be flagged but not re moved. People will still be able to post, share and comment on fake news articles. There is no infringement on their rights or any agenda pushed by Facebook. Facebook has chosen to take a proactive step in correcting the fake news cycle; something that should have been done a while ago and something that needs to be adopted by all major social media sites. According to a study by the Pew Research Center in 2016, 38 percent of people surveyed get their news from online sources. Because so many people don’t get their news from the typical news channels and instead from various social media accounts, it is the responsibility of these online sites to give proper notice to their users when they consume fake news. It is also the responsibility of the news consumer to make sure that their news sources are actual news outlets and not fake or biased sources. How can
Stay out of trouble during spring break Spring Break is finally only days away. While some students might stay in Ames or return home for the upcoming week off, many more will leave the state — or even the country — in search of the type of fun that Iowa just can’t provide them. Even though this fun might come in the form of parties, alcohol (if you’re of legal age) and questionable decision-making, it’s important to not let “kicking back and letting go” devolve into “embarrassing yourself at the cost of others.” It understandably might not feel like it as you’re kicking back on the beach in Florida, but thousands of people live in popular spring break destinations full time, and they deserve a level of respect as you pass through for the week. Spring break is no excuse on its own to act out or misbehave. The stories of out-of-towners absolutely trashing the cities they visit during their week off from school are profuse in number, and it’s important to remember that while you might not have to stick around to clean up after yourself, someone else does. Respect the cities you visit and the people who still live there after you’re gone – it’ll make a difference. Speaking of locals, they deserve your courtesy as well. From hotel staff to store owners and law enforcement to private citizens, it’s a more raucous weekend for everyone, and it probably isn’t the best idea to find yourself on their bad side. Don’t let the stereotypical spring break mentality of constant partying and fun descend into screaming at strangers (or the people you came with) or acting irresponsibly for no reason at all. Confrontation is way less fun than doing all the actual fun things you traveled out of state to do, anyway. Finally, be smart. Getting arrested in a different state — or worse, another country — is not the way anyone wants to spend their spring break, but it happens. In Orange Beach, Alabama, last year, the combination of increased law enforcement presence and more spring breakers than usual taking advantage of Alabama’s lack of laws governing alcohol use on beaches led to an 800 percent increase in arrests from the year before. It’s a good idea in general to not let this be you, but it’s especially important when you’re far from home, and far from family. Spending your spring break on vacation is a privilege, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be the best week of the year. Be safe, be respectful and remember: you’re college students, and more importantly, representatives of Iowa State. Have a fun and fulfilling week off.

Facebook rolled out a new feature Sunday that will add a “disputed news” tag on posts that it deems to be fake news.
readers do this? Make sure that the publisher is real; a simple Google search will tell you the majority of what you need to know. Checking the home page of the sites before sharing or retweeting can also give some insight into whether they are a real news outlet. Check the sources and don’t be bamboozled by studies. The presence of data makes everything seem
more legitimate, but there are hundreds of ways to manipulate data to your liking. This measure taken by Facebook is great; there are too many fake news stories being read and relayed to people. Currently, there is no way to stop these stories from being circulated entirely, but this is the first step in removing them from our timelines and home screens.

Wrestling Club sends 10 to nationals By Tyler.Julson @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State Wrestling Club won the Great Plains Conference Championship in confusing fashion two weeks ago. Now, fresh off a conference title, it has high hopes as it prepares to send 10 wrestlers to compete in the national championships. At the conference tournament in Fort Collins, Colorado, two weeks ago, the club team found itself in its own Oscar-like mix-up. At the end of the tournament, it was announced that the team had finished in third place. That announcement came as quite a shock to coach August Wesley. “The fact that we had six medalists and three champions, I felt as though something was wrong with the math,” Wesley said. “I was a little apprehensive about the final score being correct... I just knew Wayne State [initially announced the winners], they only had five place winners and no chance.” The growing concerns caused tournament officials to come together and review the results. Someone noticed that a few teams received double points for weight classes in which they had two wrestlers competing. By rule, only one wrestler in each weight class can score points for their school. By the time the scores were adjusted, the team was already back at the hotel getting ready to leave. Teammates were going over the day with one another, unwinding, and excited about how many people they did get through to nationals.

The scene when the team found out where it had placed was crazy. “We thought we were getting second place,” Reising said. “Doing our own math on the fly, we knew it wasn’t exact, but it looked like Air Force Academy had actually gotten first. “Coach rounded everybody up, then pulled out the paper that said we got first and everybody went nuts. It was awesome.” It wasn’t that long ago the club was barely functioning. There was no true coach, not many competitions and no real direction. In two short years, the team has transformed into one of the best college club programs in the country. It has participated in 13 duals this year and spent the entire year ranked inside the top-five in the country, including a three-month

stretch at No. 1. Club president Tyler Kutz, also a qualifier for the national tournament, has helped bring the team from the depths all the way up to the powerhouse it is now. “It’s been crazy to see it go from just a small group of light-hearted guys at practice to a full team that we see at practice every day,” Kutz said. “It’s great to see a full team that wants to compete, wants to succeed, and just want to be a team that can go out and compete against other colleges and go to the national tournament and win matches.” The number of club members has grown vastly over the past two years as well. It went from what Reising described as just a handful of guys who showed up to practice occasionally to 49 consistent
members. A lot of that growth can be attributed to the leadership that was taken on by the guys who wanted to see the club become a more serious endeavor. “After our freshman year, we had a lot of people step up and want to make this thing bigger,” Kutz said. “That really attracted a lot of guys who were thinking, ‘Well, this is a real program now. We want to wrestle too. We want to have college careers.’ “A lot of those guys are the same ones that are going to nationals this week. They wanted to come in and make it a real program. They saw that there were leaders who wanted the same thing and that’s when everything started to come together.” One of those guys who
saw the potential of the club is senior Clayton Visek. Visek, like many of the club members, wrestled throughout high school. He wasn’t recruited out of high school, and while he thought his wrestling days might have been over, he wasn’t ready to walk away just yet. Visek joined the team as a junior last year and has since qualified for the national tournament two years in a row. After being sidelined with knee injuries for most of the year, Visek was able to come back and do just enough to qualify for nationals. Visek is grateful to have the opportunity to come back from his injury and compete one last time. Certainly, Visek wants to go out on top, but he wants to do so while also being a good
example for his younger teammates. “It’s pretty hard to step away from my experience,” Visek said. “I’ve had a couple injuries where I haven’t been able to come back right away. I’ve been fortunate enough to where I’ve been able to come back and wrestle a little this year. “I want to teach the underclassmen to not take it for granted, because it can be gone in the blink of an eye. I want them to enjoy it while it lasts. This is my last competition at the national level and the time has flown by. I’m ready and I’m excited.” The 10 Iowa State Wrestling Club qualifiers will compete in the National Club Wrestling Association National Championships in Allen, Texas, starting Thursday and ending Saturday.

The Bruce Mckee tennis facility provides two new courts for the Iowa State tennis team to practice on. The facility opened in January 2017 and was named after Iowa State alumnus Bruce Mckee.
Iowa State tennis team settles into new home By Andrew.Smith @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State tennis team may be settling into the spring season, but that’s not the only new beginning this season. Iowa State recently unveiled the Mckee Indoor Tennis Complex, which was named after Iowa State alumnus Bruce Mckee. The two-court complex opened in December, and the Cyclones have made themselves right at home with the brand new amenities it has to offer, including a team lounge, locker room and brand new courts. Before the complex, the Cyclones practiced outside of Forker Hall and at the south Ames Racquet and Fitness Center, which oftentimes caused problems. “Say we planned to play outside but it was raining, and maybe Ames Racquet was having a group and we couldn’t get the court. And we couldn’t finish practice that day,” senior Samantha Budai said about the conflicts. That won’t happen with the new building. “We were really, really happy to finally have a place to call home,” senior Natalie Phippen said.
“We’ll never miss a practice because of weather.” Not only is the new court a place for the Cyclones to call home, but it provides a boost to refine their skills. “We have technology called PlaySight,” coach Armando Espinosa said. “It’s basically like another coach for us. They can come out and program things and work on their stuff and see it. “We have 10 cameras inside, so they can see themselves hitting once they finish their session. If I’m not here, all that information comes to my phone so I see it. The technology we have — only 36 schools in the country have it.” With all the new technology and equipment, recruiting becomes a little easier when it may have been a tricky sell for Iowa State previously. “I know from a lot of other girls who have came, they ask about our facilities and stuff like that and we have to tell them that Ames Racquet isn’t ours,” Budai said. “This is for sure ours and always accessible.” But playing outside will still be a focus for the Cyclones. Moving from inside to outside brings plenty of factors into play, especially when taking on the south-
ern Big 12 competition. “When we are switching from inside to outside, when you add the wind resistance to the ball, the points are longer and the mentality is different, so there are a lot of adjustments we have to do,” Espinosa said. Competition aside, the Cyclones are excited to have a place that is always accessible and to leave their stuff at the end of the day. “Honestly for me, it would probably be just calling this place ours,” Phippen said in regard to the best thing about the facility. “We have showers now, we have locker rooms, so we don’t need to go to the [Jacobson Building] all the time.” One of the major pieces in making this all happen was Bruce Mckee, who the complex is named after. Mckee is an avid tennis fan and provided $500,000 in order to get the approximately $2 million-project off the ground. With all the new changes, the future prospects for Iowa State tennis are bright. The new complex will give the players a chance to improve and refine day in and day out.

3 Cyclone wrestlers qualify for NCAA Championships By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com Marcus Harrington was the only Iowa State wrestler to automatically qualify for the NCAA Championships at the Big 12 Championships over the weekend. On Tuesday, the NCAA announced the at-large bids. And, as expected, both Earl Hall and Lelund Weatherspoon got spots in the field. The 133-pounder and the 174-pounder were each All-Americans last season and fell one spot short of an automatic qualifying bid last weekend. The only Cyclone wrestler who had a legitimate case to get an at-large bid and fell short was Quean
Smith. Instead, Newton Smerchek, Zack Parker, Conan Jennings and Youssif Hemida got the at-large bids. Smith’s résumé comp a r e d t o o t h e r h e a v yweights appeared to stack up well — especially with Parker’s and Smerchek’s. Smith had three quality wins — tied for the most quality wins with Jennings — and won the head-to-head matchup against Smerchek. According to the NCAA, those two categories account for 45 percent of their decision. The NCAA also values conference tournament placement in regard to how many allocations that conference had. The Big 12 had four allocations at heavyweight, and Smith finished fifth.
The only other heavyweight to finish one spot out of allocation at his conference tournament was Parker, but he only had one quality win. Two categories will remain a mystery. Those are the coaches panel rankings and the rating percentage index (RPI). The NCAA came out with new ratings but did not release them to the public. The one category that hurt Smith the most is his win percentage, which was .450. The NCAA said that accounts for 10 percent of its decision. The NCAA Championships begin March 16 and run through March 18. They take place at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri.

Fashion Show update
Biggest endowment in show’s history By Abby.Patterson @iowastatedaily.com An Iowa State alumna, Ana Hays McCracken, gave $100,000 to The Fashion Show, the largest endowment to the student organization to date. McCracken is a 1984 Iowa State University graduate in fashion merchandising. After graduating from Iowa State, McCracken went on to become a writer and is currently the executive director of the Thistlewood Foundation, based in San Francisco, California. The $100,000 will go toward the Ana Hays McCracken Fashion Show Producers
Scholarship, awarding The Fashion Show producers for leading one of the largest student-run organizations in the nation. This year’s producers, Emilee Meyer, Maggie Anderson, Hannah Nation and Alexandra Johnson, are the first recipients of this scholarship award and newly appointed scholarship position. “I think it is so humbling of Ana [McCracken] to provide such a generous scholarship to four women she barely knows,” said Maggie Anderson, senior in apparel, merchandising and design and an outreach producer for the show. “It will not only help me after graduation but will set me up for success.”
According to the College of Human Sciences News article, McCracken first attended the show in 2012 and has ever since tried to support students who produce the show. “I am very honored to be one of the first set of producers to receive this scholarship,” said Alexandra Johnson, senior in apparel, merchandising and design and managerial producer for the show. “It shows that we put in a lot of hard work and dedication into The Fashion Show and shows that this program and organization continues to grow and create leaders. It’s exciting to know that this will continue for future producers of the show.”

You could be the next emcee for The Fashion Show 2017, Iowa State’s prestigious student-run fashion show. Auditions for the position will take place this week. Auditions are open to all interested Iowa State students. The emcee will give introductions at the beginning of the show and announce awards at the
end. Auditions to be an emcee will begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday in 117 MacKay. The Fashion Show events will take place April 5 to 8. This role is a paid position that allows Iowa State students to get involved in this student-run event, now in its 35th year. As one of the largest studentrun fashion shows in the nation, it is an incredibly unique opportunity. According to Morgan Groe, a member of the
Tech Design Committed for the Fashion Show, “Individuals should be comfortable with public speaking, professional, dynamic, enthusiastic for The Fashion Show, prepared, eloquent, and composed under pressure.” If this describes you or you are simply interested in getting involved or learning more, attend the auditions this Wednesday. For more information, contact fs.tech@iastate. edu.
The next step in producing the Fashion Show took place this week: assigning models. Iowa State students of all ages and majors can become a designer for the show, but they are not able to choose their models and fit their designs to their chosen models until Fit Night on Tuesday. “This event allows [designers] to see the model’s sizes and measurements, then selecting a model that they feel would best fit their designs,” said Sarah Waigand, senior in apparel, merchandising design and design director. “They can then try their garment on the model and make the
alterations accordingly.” To officially become a designer for The Fashion Show, an Iowa State student needed to submit their collections at Initial Garment Turn In on Monday. “Having Initial Garment Turn In the night before allows designers to get checked in and fit their models faster and more smoothly on Fit Night,” said Jessica Helberg, sophomore in apparel, merchandising and design and design director. “There is no age limit or major, minor requirement to participate in The Fashion Show. Just as long as they are an Iowa State student or a graduate from the most previous semester, anyone is welcome.” The Fashion Show hosted Senior Fit Night last Thursday for seniors who have
taken AMD 495 and want to submit their senior collections to this year’s show. “This is just an extra incentive to give seniors first dibs on choosing models,” said Ashlynn Boerhave, senior in apparel, merchandising and design and one of the design directors for The Fashion Show. The Fashion Show’s design directors run Fit Night to make sure it goes as smoothly as possible. The design directors can be found working the front table to check in the designers. “We want the public to know that this is a very exciting time for The Fashion Show because it is where we first get to see some of the garments that will be in The Fashion Show 2017,” Waigand said.

Pantone announces nature-inspired colors By Bridget.Degnan @iowastatedaily.com The winter season is coming to an end, which means the dull and dark pieces in your closet can finally be put away. There is just something about changing up color schemes for each season. Pantone has released the spring color trends of 2017, so make some room for these vibrant and cheerful colors.
These colors look great as accessories, shoes and clothes. Mix and match them with each other or pair them with colors from last season. Primrose Yellow - This shade of yellow screams sunshine and happiness. It is paired well with lavender and navy blue. Pale Dogwood - This shade of pink is sweet and innocent. It fits well in floral patterns. This color complements Army green or gold. Hazelnut - This warm
shade of taupe is an essential this season and can transition into the fall. It looks great with any color and can appear elegant or laid back. For a sophisticated look, add black and white accessories. Island Paradise - This blue represents a beautiful clear sky on a spring afternoon. It gives off a calm and relaxing vibe. This color goes well with white. Greenery - This shade of green is organic and smooth. It is a good mix
of bold and subtle. It looks best when paired with rose gold accessories. Flame - This shade of orange is energetic and will make a statement. This color can transition well into the summer. It looks best when it is paired with white or gold. Pink Yarrow - This shade of pink will have heads turning. It is powerful and retro. This color goes well with denim or light pink. Niagara - This shade of blue gives a sense of com-
fort and peace. This color pairs well with copper tones. Kale - This forest green gives off a feeling of adventure and exploration. It is dark enough to accent lighter colors but is still light enough to wear in the spring. This color works well with neutrals and bright colors. Lapis Blue - This shade of blue is perfect for a spring wardrobe. It can replace the dark colors from the fall/ winter seasons and act as a
spring/summer version of navy blue. It complements colors such as pale yellow and light red. These colors have been seen on the runway and will be making an appearance on the street soon enough. Any of these colors would look fabulous with a pair of white ripped jeans and sandals. The outfit color and style combinations are endless. Experiment with old and new clothes and see what you can come up with.

MISCONCEPTION p3 violence, domestic abuse, sexual assault, stalking and more. If a student is suspected and found guilty, they will have violated the student code of conduct and will be expelled. If the survivor reports to an Ames police officer, the department is not required to report to the university. The medical side of SART is the SANE, or sexual assault nurse examiner, who meets with patients who decide to go forward with the sexual assault medical forensic exam. The first order of business is always informing the patient about options. If they proceed, the discussion turns to what processes will take place, the medications that are offered and what they will treat. The kit includes envelopes, cotton swabs and papers that the SANE will fill out. The nurse will first administer prophylactic drugs, but the patient is not forced to take them. This is a preventive measure to ensure the patient does not contract a sexually transmitted disease. “We get ahead of that so [the victims] don’t have to be diagnosed with a transmitted sexual infection,” Shannon Knudsen, sexual assault exam coordinator, said. More evidence that is needed, such as clothes, can be collected in paper
bags. The paper bag allows the DNA to “breathe,” whereas a plastic bag will make the evidence decompose. Another tool that is not included in the kit is the speculum, which is inserted into the vagina to analyze for injuries. After receiving consent, the first exam by
The first swab administered is the buccal swab, which lets the lab know which DNA is the patient’s and which is the perpetrator’s. The buccal swab is taken from the mouth, but if there is an oral assault, an oral swab will be used and blood will be taken instead. With the patient’s consent, medical practitioners will take swabs of the body parts the perpetrator touched. If the patient wishes, only certain parts of the kit can be carried out. The whole kit is not necessary, and the processes are defined by the decisions of the patient. “I am mandated by [the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act], so what they tell me I can’t share with anybody else,” Knudsen said. “If they want to pursue an investigation, then I have to have permission to talk to law enforcement.” This does not include if the victim is a child or dependent adult, or if human trafficking is suspected. In those
cases, mandatory reports are issued. If the patient feels uncomfortable, the kit can stop. According to SART, whatever the survivor is most comfortable with is priority. If the kit has been completed but the patient is not sure what steps to take next, the statutes of limitations are 10 years in Iowa. The survivor has that amount of time to come to a decision of what they want. Sexual assault medical forensic exams are not needed in some cases. Greiter said some sexual assault cases in Story County have been won without DNA evidence of the attacker. The sexual assault medical forensic exam is always just an option, and most aspects of reporting are within the control of the survivor. In Iowa, there are more than 4,200 untested sexual assault medical forensic exams. Officials hope to soon push for all of them to be tested in order to identify the perpetrator and ultimately charge them. Some of these tests date to the 1990s. The effort, which is part of a nationwide initiative, is being funded by a $3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Justice. The initiative will also work to establish a statewide sexual assault medical forensic exam tracking system.

WOMEN p12 Langenberg believes that women in the United States and across the globe seem to be taking a greater stand against gender inequality and misogyny. She said the current political environment in the United States has sparked a willingness to engage in activism, such as the Women’s March that took place in cities around the world in January. “There are more things at stake that affect women on a personal level,” Langenberg said. “That makes it easier to get involved.” Southard added that the United States has an influence on other nations when it comes to political policies regarding equal rights for any marginalized group

of individuals. “The U.S. has a disproportionate influence on global women’s issues, as many other countries look to us as an example,” Southard said. “And our international policy and funding decisions affect women around the world. For example, with the Mexico City convention that limits funding to family planning organizations that discuss abortion.” Langenberg, who also instructs a few courses in women’s studies, said that despite the increasingly more common fight for women’s rights, she has still been met with reluctance from both male and female students. “People are so scared to call themselves feminists,” Langenberg said. “They act like it’s saying the f-word or something. It’s not

a curse word.” Langenberg also recalled a time when she was indirectly confronted for her beliefs on gender equality. She once owned a bumper sticker on her car that read, “Feminism is the radical notion that women are people.” One day she returned to her car to find that the sticker had been defaced, and an unfriendly note was left on her windshield. “Whoever it was had taken a knife or blade of some sort and scratched out the bumper sticker so it wasn’t readable,” Langenberg said. Langenberg said the day should not only look at the struggles women face day-today, but it also should be a happy event that celebrates women and all they can do. “We need to have that kind of recog-

nition,” she said. “In a lot of countries, women are still second-class citizens. Even here in America we aren’t inherently equal.” Various events on campus are taking place in honor of International Women’s Day. SAGE will have a booth set up in the Agora to pass out purple ribbons, the official color of the holiday, and give out information on the day and feminism. A discussion will take place from noon to 1 p.m. in Morrill Hall to discuss women in the arts throughout history. Langenberg will give out treats to her students for the holiday, which is the same day as her birthday. “I feel like I’m not just celebrating for myself, but for every other woman out there,” Langenberg said.
