UNLV transfer Bryce Dejean-Jones commits to play at Iowa State By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com It didn’t take Bryce DejeanJones long to decide where he wanted to be. Just two days after arriving in Ames for an official

visit, the transfer from UNLV announced Sunday he has committed to Iowa State. “Had a great weekend in Ames my first time there but won’t be the last,” Dejean-Jones tweeted. “I’ve decided I wanna be

a Cyclone!” Dejean-Jones, a 6-foot-5 guard, is eligible for immediatelyplay for the Cyclones next season as he will graduate from UNLV next month. The senior was suspended for UNLV’s season finale

following a verbal altercation with a teammate and announced in mid-March he would transfer. Last season Dejean-Jones was the Runnin’ Rebels’ leading scorer, averaging 13.6 points per game. Jones was scheduled to vis-

it Arizona State next weekend, but committed to Iowa State after his weekend visit. Dejean-Jones is expected to be a key contributor from the start. The Cyclones now have two remaining open scholarships.

Career services assists students in planning for their job futures By Colby.Siebersma @iowastatedaily.com With graduation quickly approaching, seniors search for jobs to start their professional careers. ISU Career Services assists students with this process and strives to achieve maximum placement ratings. Kathryn Wieland, director of Career Services for the College of Business, said they are currently focused on helping students execute a comprehensive job search. “We build a strategy with each student and then help the student with the execution of that process,” Wieland said. “At this point, we are working with job postings, specific companies and contacts.” Wieland said it is es-

pecially important to have this type of strategy right now because it is beneficial to mix your methods and use several different tools. Carefully looking through job postings and seeing what is available is one tool for finding jobs, but this alone is not enough, Wieland said. “The second tool is identifying good companies and organizations who have hired people in your field before,” Wieland said. Wieland said that finding companies with a reputation for making good things happen for recent college graduates could have great outcomes. The third tool is to identify contacts — people in your field of work that

Contrary to the “USA” and “Veishea” chants heard on Tuesday night, a group of students and community members marched throughout campus Saturday morning cheering “Cyclone pride.” On Saturday, Adam Guenther, senior in animal science and GSB senator, organized the Campus Showcase Parade, an unofficial alternative to the Veishea parade. Around 120 students and community members dressed in cardinal and gold attire and walked the sidewalks of the original parade route, weaving through crowds of supporters. Carolyn Heising, professor of industrial and manufacturing systems engineering, participated in the Campus Showcase Parade. “I feel like the students are doing a great thing by planning these alternative events, it shows that they care,” said

Heising. Heising also attended other unofficial events on Central Campus earlier in the week. “I really think students should regain control of Veishea, I’m a believer of the students doing good things and I feel that Veishea is a tradition [that] should be continued being completely run by students, going back to the basics,” said Heising. Calli Zimmerman, senior in agricultural business, saw the event on Facebook and decided to attend. “My friends and I planned on just watching the parade but we saw people joining in as the parade went by so we joined too,” said Zimmerman. After the Cyclone Showcase Parade, Zimmerman attended another unofficial Veishea event called “4 the Love of ISU.” “I think these events are a good idea as long as everything is positive and

Leath, students Police departments on riot, wrap become a part reflect busy week of arrests of Cardinal Key By Madisun.VanGundy @iowastatedaily.com Sixty-three students and four faculty and staff members, including President Steven Leath, were inducted into Cardinal Key, Iowa State’s top honor society, on April 13. The induction ceremony was held at the Alumni Center in the Reiman Ballroom from 3:30 to 5 p.m. “It’s a great class. Every single one of them has done something great on campus,” said Ben Jacobson, president of Cardinal Key Honor society. The keynote speaker at the ceremony was President Steven Leath. He was also an inductee. Leath said he was honored and pleased to be inducted because the more time he can spend with the other inductees, the more he can learn from them and the more he can teach them. Cardinal Key was founded in 1926 to recognize outstanding leaders at Iowa State. It recognizes members at Iowa State whose leadership in university activities has been exemplary, whose scholarship is of high standing, whose character is above reproach and whose service to the university community has been outstanding, ac-

Between Veishea and Tuesday’s riot, the Ames and ISU police departments kept busy this week despite the fact that official Veishea events were canceled. Ames Police arrested 82 people on 115 charges throughout the week and cited 56 people. ISU Police filed 155 criminal charges from Tuesday to Sunday morning. Alcohol-related charges were the most common offenses. Jerry Stewart, director of Iowa State’s department of public safety, said the number of charges was slightly less than the two previous years, while Geoff Huff, investigations commander for Ames Police, said they had a busier week than expected. “It’s hard to say, be-

cause in the past we haven’t done a lot of tracking that early in the week. Usually when we track stats for Veishea, it’s usually Friday and Saturday, but this year it was clearly a different situation,” Huff said. “It was the first nice weekend and Veishea at the same time — the perfect storm.” Both departments must deal with the aftermath of Tuesday’s riot, during which some police officers were hit with beer bottles and cans thrown by the crowd before individuals took down street signs and two light poles on Welch Avenue. “Every single person in that area going along with it was making the situation worse, and if you watch those videos, that’s what it was.

2014 First Amendment Days

From microbiology and genetics to dairy science and global resource systems, a broad range of research topics were presented by undergraduate students at the capitol building in Des Moines. Student’s were selected from Iowa State, the University of Northern Iowa and the University of Iowa to have the opportunity to present their research to the Iowa legislature at the annual Research in the Capitol event. Twenty-one ISU undergraduate students applied and were accepted to attend the event. The students were able to present their research to the legislature, the public, news reporters and other students at the Capitol. The Research in the Capitol event was from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. April 1. This was the ninth time Iowa State students have participated in Research in the Capitol. Similar academic events happen throughout the country to showcase student research to their state’s legislature. Most of the students presented posters to anyone who was interested in their topic. This year, Meghan Blancas, university honors graduate assistant, coordinated the event for Iowa State students. She selected the participants, coordinated the students and their research with other schools and was

in contact with the students to answer any of their questions about the event. This was Blancas’ second year coordinating the event under the supervision of Dana Schumacher, assistant director of the university Honors Program. Part of Schumacher’s job includes promoting research across the institutions for all undergraduates. Schumacher said about 30 people applied to present at the Capitol. They filled out a proposal describing what their research was about, the methodology they used, their results and what the implications of those results are. “We want to present what the university looks like,” Schumacher said. “We look for a broad range of subject matter.” The coordinators also want to present research that the legislators will find interesting. Schumacher said that a few years ago they brought students who had done research on flooding because they knew legislators would find that topic relevant and want to learn about the research. “We are looking at the big picture of what Iowa State looks like, and what the research at Iowa State looks like,” Schumacher said. Nicholas Benge, senior in biology, presented research that he has been working on with his mentor about carbon concentrating mechanisms and algae. Specifically they have been researching a protein called HLA3.

Benge said that a lot of research was presented to legislators, but most of the presentations were given to other students. The undergraduates set up their displays so as people walked by to look at the posters, they could stop at the ones they thought were the most interesting. Whitney Briggs, senior in animal ecology with a microbiology minor, presented her research on characterizing the genetic diversity and similarity between rural and urban white tail deer populations in Iowa. She has been working on her research with her Ph.D. mentor and her academic adviser for more than two years. “I had never really been able to interact with very many people outside of my department and it was great getting to see the kind of research experiences that were going on in other departments and other schools,” Briggs said. Schumacher described the goals of Research in the Capitol in three parts: showcasing undergraduate research at the public institutions to the legislature and the public, being able to see what work is being done at other institutions and the experience of presenting their research. “There is a whole cycle of doing research,” Schumacher said. “Presentation is a concluding part that kind of leads a person to the next step of their research.”

Students learn Victorian games at Farm House Museum Editor’s note: Megan Ball is the twin sister of Morgan Ball.

By Morgan.Ball @iowastatedaily.com A few students visited the Farm House Museum for Victorian style parlor games but said they still enjoyed the fun. The museum taught the games to show the audience how past generations socialized and occupied their time. “Last year the Farm House’s Victorian Parlor Games had around 25 people and it was a diverse group composed of Iowa State students, community adults and their children,” said Megan Ball, Farm House assistant. The turnout for this year was not as significant. Two ISU students attended the event. “I heard about the event through the Iowa State University homepage and I wanted to do something social since Veishea was canceled. I brought my friend Rachel as well,” said Becca Harmon, freshman in chemical engineering. The Farm House was built in 1860 and the Victorian era took place between 1837 and 1901. The games are particularly special to the Victorian time period. “A lot of the games are elementary and middle school appropriate, but many Iowa State students like to learn a bit about the history behind the games as well as touring the museum,” Ball said. The Farm House assistant started the event by giving the students a tour of the museum and answering any questions they might have had. After the tour, the list of games was presented. The students chose to play

Look-about and Charades. Look-about is very similar to the modern game I Spy. The purpose was to find a hidden object in the room before the rest of the group. The second game, Charades, is still a very common game in today’s society. The games were played in the

parlor which is where the children in the Victorian era would have played games as well. “The Victorian Parlor games event was introduced to educate the public about games that were played in past years when there was not television,” Ball said. The weather was very dreary and rainy during the event and

the canceling of Veishea might have affected the turnout of students and community members attending as well said Ball. “I really like the Farm House Museum and I plan to come back again, but I think spreading the word and advertising might help with the amount of people that attend,” Harmon said.

At the induction ceremony, a career achievement award was given to Stephen Barnhart, professor of agronomy.

Tom McGee, vice president of ceremonies, said that Dr. Barnhart retired a few months ago after 39 years of service at Iowa State with 35 years as a professor of agronomy. He won numerous awards throughout his career for his excellence in agronomy and for his services and achievements through the university extension program.

The number of inductees is limited to no more than half of one percent of the senior class, and one third of one percent of the junior class. Students to be in Cardinal Key were sent an email asking them to complete an application. This year, Cardinal Key received 245 applications. Students were then interviewed by the executive committee, comprised of eight students and one adviser. Faculty and staff must be nominated by a Cardinal Key member to be inducted. Students must have GPA of 3.0 or higher, be a junior or senior undergraduate and have exemplified the Cardinal Key’s four virtues. “We’re very proud of them. They’ve had a wonderful experience at Iowa State,” said Dennis Bader, father of inductees Kara and Kimbra Bader. Jacobson said he hopes Cardinal Key will develop into a more social group and not just an honor society. Cardinal Key is the oldest honor organization on campus.

Megan Sweere, junior in supply chain management and Dan Breitbarth, junior in business economics, worked together to plan the 4 the Love of ISU event in a matter of hours on Wednesday night. Breitbarth said he and a lot of students were disappointed that the Veishea events were canceled so he decided to do something about it. “We wanted to have a big event that we wouldn’t need funding for and that would make Veishea positive again and bring the community together,” said Sweere. Sweere and Breitbarth used social media to advertise their event to students around campus. “We’ve had a lot of groups reach out to us and ask how they can help us plan this event, it’s really awesome to see how people step up and help out.

The Ames Police Department will continue to charge those identified through the many tips the department is receiving. Both departments’ tactic of not actively engaging with the crowd Tuesday helped to not escalate the situation, but they had plans in place in case the situation got any more out of control. “With the crowd size we had and the number of officers we had available, there wasn’t a situation where we were going to go in there and start grabbing people and making mass arrests,” Huff said. “We were continually talking to people about, ‘Hey, this is silly.

Clearly, Tuesday night was not the same kind of thing.” After Tuesday’s riot and the cancellation of Veishea, police began breaking up smaller gatherings along with the larger house parties. Huff said Wednesday night was one of the busiest nights, along with Friday night.

The next couple of days we’ll see how many follow-up investigations need to be done,” Huff said. Both ISU and Ames Police were engaging with students and visitors through social media, and Huff said he believes this helped everyone understand what the departments were doing. “We got a lot of support through it and I think it probably did help a little bit keeping everyone calmed down,” Huff said. “We talked to so many people that thanked us for our services. Some of the people apologized not necessarily for their behavior but for in general what happened Tuesday night. “Clearly there were more people unhappy about what happened Tuesday night than who were out there.”

#SayNoToSlacktivism

Miranda Cantrell/Iowa State Daily

Students gathered in Campustown on Tuesday and started causing destruction in a supposed celebration of Veishea.

Rioting answers nothing There have been a lot of opinions thrown around as to why a large group of young individuals felt the need to riot Tuesday night. However, this shouldn’t even be something we as a community have to try to answer. There is never a reason to riot. The sad thing is that the riot that took place in Ames during the week of Veishea was not the only riot to take place recently. University of Connecticut students took to the streets after winning the NCAA Tournament; so did students at the University of Minnesota when their celebrations after the Gophers made it into the Frozen Four for hockey and then subsequently lost in games to follow caused their police to come out in full riot gear. The culture for rioting seems to be growing, as any major win or loss from a sporting event or the celebration of a longstanding campus tradition appears to give some the idea that it is OK to destroy property and become violent —an idea that is simply ridiculous to its core. Encouragement from their peers certainly did not help the situation. When people are more focused on recording the actions on their phones than they are on stopping those actions from happening, there is a problem. We are so focused on getting photos onto social media that we forget that what is happening could actually be stopped if the majority of bystanders simply went home and removed themselves from the situation, leaving the officers to handle things. Rather than helping our community, we hurt it. Students all want to be a part of something. This can be proven in most of the riots that have taken place recently. When it comes to UConn and the University of Minnesota, destroying the community does not seem like a great way to celebrate, but when so many students are doing it together, it makes them feel like part of a group. Students came together and rebelled against the police, chanting “Veishea” and “USA.” Truth being, there is never a reason to riot. If Veishea is about celebrating years of Iowa State’s achievements, there is no reason to abuse the property in the area or to disrespect the authorities who work so hard to protect us. There was no good reason to throw things at police officers, flip cars and hurt a fellow student. It was all for what — to have our tradition canceled? All the rioting students managed to do was have Veishea taken away. For the students at the other universities, they took a moment where their school’s were in the spotlight for achieving something exceptional and tarnished it. Iowa State and the city of Ames deserve better than the behavior that was seen Tuesday night. There was no good reason for the events that took place. In fact, all we have managed to do is embarrass ourselves in front of our school, our alumni and our community. Tuesday was not a celebration of Veishea but rather a distasteful action, showing the rest of the country that our students do not know how to respectfully celebrate something they value. We should not be proud of Tuesday’s events; we should rather be ashamed and hope for the better of our school and community that these types of events never happen on our campus again. As a generation, we should expect more from one another and hold one another accountable for our actions. Do you want to celebrate your community and the win of your school’s sports team? Grab a group of friends, wear your favorite school gear and enjoy the win. Respectfully.

Most recently and impactful, in form of demonstration, a hashtag urging to #CancelColbert sprinkled the twitter-sphere after the account affiliated with his show The Colbert Report tweeted a poor tasted joke that while mocking the owner of the Redskins’ football team, Dan Snyder, it also managed to offend Asians, but that aside,Suey Park, the Asian-American advocate who initiated the hashtag trend, inadvertently arises an interesting question: what is the point of online activ-

ism-- or more aptly, attempt at activism? We were first confronted with this on the largest scale back in 2012 when the #Kony2012 video made its cycle on all social media platforms and everyone regardless of age lent a hand… well sort of- if you count a retweet or basic awareness as lending a hand. That is precisely what the campaign did, though; it allowed an issue to soak into social conscious to the point of mockery. Soon, it was perceived as a trend, and as trends do, they are in style for a short period of time, suffer a moment of aforementioned parody, then they virtually disappear from the public eye. But, those problems still exist behind our back. And when we circulate legitimate world dilemmas like they are the latest iPhone model, we should check our priorities and our involvement. We want to help. It is in our DNA to desire to assist others in times of need, even if it is earnestly improve another’s livelihood or to polish our own good reputation- like selfishly being selfless. Online participation encourages the more vain approach, placing the issues on sites designed to embody our ideal self. So,

of course, my ideal self wants to save the children, save the horses, and save the lakes, but how can one person commit to all these causes and more? Quite simple: just ‘like’ away and before you know it, you will be endorsing over 200 social movements, and luckily your involvement need not extend past that one click. Bitterness aside, consciousness is a necessary first step to solving anything, but we cannot reach the next steps if we are preoccupied with being vaguely alert to every concern the world holds. That in mind, we have wonderful tools of activism at our disposal in the form of the internet, and we are in the midst of toying with our options and testing the waters.. Contrastingly, could it be we are and will be viewing the opinions and concerns of those over the web as the only problems that exist. In other words, we begin to believe that every person who has a problem will be able to use the internet to voice their struggle, so we lose focus on the physical world around us and the voices who already have little luck catching our attention will be further lost behind our computer screens.

This is already being displayed in a similar fashion by the way companies and television shows track closely those on twitter and their opinions. And in accordance to the thoughts of the online consumers, the provider will adjust their product to please a very limited group’s needs, believing that the digital customers represent the entire population. This is a facet of a potentially larger effect: in order to have an influence, you must transcend your physical form and also invent a digital persona to push your ideas forward in a crowd of growing voices already fighting to be heard. Activism as we knew it will be the most affected during this shift. The newest currency will not be in monetary donations but in hashtag recognition, and it is our duty to conspire a way to translate that into something that of dollar value because, honestly, it is money and precious time dedication that differs effective activism from just knowing something is wrong in a far off country. I know I will try to hashtag a little less and help a little more because being a a slacktavist does not look good on any profile.

All it takes is for one person to stand out and get some attention to make others want the limelight. As a result, chaos breaks out, which is exactly what happened with the riot on Tuesday night. This kind of pride, columnist Wandschneider says, needs to be combatted.

Pride causes riots, leads to downfall By Jamie.Wandschneider @iowastatedaily.com

tarting at a young age, we are taught to be competitive and to strive to be the best. From sports to academics, we always try and one up our competitors. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be good at something, but society has blown up this idea, which will be the downfall of society. Our most fatal flaw is pride. C.S. Lewis says in his book, “Mere Christianity”: “Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man ... It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest. Once the element of competition is gone, pride is gone.” The pride Lewis is talking about is not the pride a proud parent feels after his or her child does something or the pride that is felt when you aced that final that you had been preparing for well ahead a time. It is the pride that hungers to be the best at everything and that will tear others down to get there. That is where the issue lies. Veishea is supposed to be a time to take pride in Iowa State and all of the things that happen around campus. This type of pride is similar to the pride of the proud parent, taking time to appreciate all of the accomplishments from the university and its students. Instead, destruction quickly ended the positive celebration. It does matter what the instigator

was for the riots, but pride turned them into something much worst. The bad side of pride is trying to be the best, which becomes a constant battle to one up someone else. All it takes is for one person to stand out and get some attention to make others want the limelight. As a result, chaos breaks out, which is exactly what happened. Say the first car just got flipped. People notice and turn their attention to those involved. A prideful person in the crowd recognizes the attention received for that action and wants that same attention. Maybe that person decides to flip a bigger car or decides to tear down a sign. The cycle just repeats itself until we have a riot like the one Tuesday night. It did not matter if the action was right or wrong, just the fact that the attention was on them. Seeing pride in this way also happens in much more casual settings. Think about those supposedly friendly conversations you have during lunch. You share some awesome accomplishment and everyone smiles in approval. A surge of happiness flows through your veins until one of your buddies shares some accomplishment that seems to be better than yours. How dare they one up you, couldn’t they just let you have the spotlight for a little bit? As a result, you try and one up them or prove that your thing was better. This is pride talking. Instead of being happy for your friend, you feel the need to tear them down. The scary thing about pride is that we usually don’t know that we are doing it. Often people recognize someone

else’s pride but fail to see that they are prideful. The evils of pride are witnessed in every parts of the world. Go to any part in history, past and present, and look at any society that had or currently has a dictator. With a dictator being the supreme ruler, the society revolves around that person. He is the highest being and everything is done according to that. If something threatens the idea of him being the best, actions are taken to put others down. Pride is the one thing that causes us to end up alone. By constantly putting ourselves up but tearing others down, we are pushing people away. Nobody wants to be around someone that only talks about how much better he or she is at, well, everything. Picture a society where everyone is prideful. With everyone trying to be better than everyone else, people are pushed away. Friendships become nonexistent. Patching up this flaw will not happen overnight. It will take the efforts of many. A place to start is for each of us to take a step back from our lives and reevaluate our motives. Were we doing something because it was the right thing to do, or were we doing it out of pride to prove that we were better than someone else? Lewis warns us by saying, “If a man thinks he is not conceited, he is very conceited indeed.” The first step in overcoming pride is to recognize that we are prideful and to start focusing on bringing others up, not tearing them down.

Letters to the editor

Police could have prepared more for unruly students Barbara Sexaure, 1974 graduate in sociology Whenever one encounters unrest in any society, no matter the size or age involved, we often ask why the unrest occurred. Nineteenth century French sociologist Gustave Le Bon believed that people can become overtaken by a crowd mentality, and essentially, can cease to behave rationally. He argued that because people feel anonymous, they commit acts of violence more freely.

The unruly “students” involved in the Veishea rioting on Tuesday are part of a generation disillusioned and perhaps fearful of their future and even the future of our earth. With the knowledge that upon graduating, they will be burdened with thousands of dollars of debt and a low percentage of promising jobs available, the millennials find themselves studying and working earnestly toward a shaky post graduate environment at best. These students should be punished, however, and cancel-

ing the Veishea activities for 2014 is expected. But the university is not responsible for the riot outbreaks. The city of Ames and the Ames Police Department should be admonished for their lack of anticipatory security. Alcohol abuse and crowds of students in Campustown are nothing new during Veishea week. Consider the University of Iowa and their security for sports events, campus rallies and their reputation for partying during such venues. No outbreaks of violence or uncontrolled crowds have

been reported regarding the university since the late 1960s. This represents their proactive approach to their student body and visitors during times of possible social upheaval. Security is first and foremost Iowa City’s and the University of Iowa’s concern for their citizens and students. Perhaps in 2015, Iowa State should take a different approach to the time honored tradition of Veishea and our current generation of enrolled students. Let’s combine tradition with some common sense, multiple secu-

rity sources throughout Ames and the campus and limit the activities to a 3-day weekend of Stars Over Veishea, parade and open house presentations with a Saturday game and ending with an all-day outdoor concert venue on Sunday celebrating Iowa State with theme-based safety awareness flags, banners and booths. This is not just a University issue. The city, police, alumni and students need to defend their right, as well as their responsibility, to continue with the Veishea privilege.

Veishea cancellation was too hasty, unjustly decided Chris Knorowski, graduate student in physics Veishea is an iconic festival with a rich tradition and history that Iowa State is proud of. At Veishea, students, alumni and Ames residents come together in celebration during the first warm spring days after a long harsh winter. Student organizations give showcases on everything from horticulture to physics, as well as organize fundraisers for charity and sell the beloved mini cherry pies. Over its eight decade tenure, Veishea has brought speakers, lecturers and entertainers to Iowa State’s campus, hosting notables from Bob Hope to Ronald Reagan. Veishea is an opportunity for students to learn and mature as they organize and participate in the largest student-run festival in the nation. Unfortunately, this years events have been marred in controversy. On April 8, the second day of Veishea, a large group of students converged onto the streets of Welch Avenue in the heart of Campustown. Around 11:30 p.m., parts of the

crowd became unruly, leading to two cars being flipped, light poles being shaken down and the unfortunate injury of a student. Fortunately, Ames Police were prepared and were able to disperse the crowd without further incident, having the streets entirely cleared by 1 a.m. The crowd, though lively, could not have been described as violent: no fights broke out and no one was purposefully injured or assaulted. Strangely, the university chose not to use its ISU text alert system to communicate with the Ames community or try to disperse the crowd. The following morning the university President Steven Leath held meetings with his council and summarily suspended the rest of Veishea celebrations. While there is no doubt that the students have misbehaved, the choice of canceling Veishea due to activities outside of the organized structure has left many students understandably upset. Sources have suggested that the university felt that in not canceling Veishea they would be prioritizing money over human safety. However, while

Veishea may bring Ames and Iowa State business, the spirit of Veishea is not profit in the students’ or the community’s eyes. What Veishea is really about are the families in Ames who bring their children to the parade, the alumni getting a chance to come back to Iowa State to revisit their time here and the students who get a chance to celebrate, showcase what they have learned and give back to the greater community. President Leath in suspending Veishea has taken away the students’ ability to show their good side — in effect, punishing the good majority for the mistakes of a small minority. Wisdom suggests that you give the student body a chance to prove they do not condone the behavior displayed on Tuesday night, organizing a work day to clean up Campustown of the damage or asking for donations from Veishea attendees to help with medical costs and to repair the damage done to the city of Ames. In fact, a set of students have already raised $5,000 to help pay for damages to Ames property and medical bills for the injured student.

Solution to rioting trend lies with college students Scott Conroe To the ISU community, I followed with sympathy the events that took place April 8 during Veishea. My community south of Syracuse, N.Y., has been there too, to a lesser extent. In the past few months, I’ve been watching other cases where students gathered in the thousands, became out of control, caused damage and threw bottles at police: Santa Barbara, University of Massachusetts - Amherst, Michigan State, Delaware, Western Washington — the list goes on.

I serve on a commission that has been discussing the unrest and damage connected to our annual Cortaca Jug football game between SUNY Cortland and Ithaca College. We are asking the same questions: what happened, why, what can be done. We’ve looked at social media’s role, relations between students and our city, alcohol sales and how to manage the hundreds of young people who come to our city to raise hell thinking they won’t face consequences. I think some answers lie with college students themselves. On video of the Veishea riot, I saw students cheering as other students turned over a car

— and shooting video of it. Students, what is your fascination with acting badly, causing damage and attacking police, then posting photos and video online so everyone can see? Our commission has met 10 times and held nine public forums since December. We hope the recommendations we’ll make later this month to the college and the city lead to a safer, calmer Cortaca weekend. But the questions we’re asking — the same ones President Leath’s commission will be asking — go deeper than we can touch. The answers might lie more with college students themselves.

For me, it is sad to see that all of the effort, the passion and the time put into preparations for Veishea have been dismissed at the hasty decision of the university’s leadership. Especially in an age of social media where

it easy to identify the perpetrators, instead of pressing charges against the individuals, the leadership has decided to cast the entire student body as delinquents. President Leath should not have labeled this incident as a riot,

and instead framed the situation to show that the ISU student body is more than a group of drunken partiers. Unfortunately, he was not able, or willing, to do that and as a result there will be no cherry pies and no funnel cakes for the rest us.

Defensive tackle gets dismissed after riot By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com

Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily

Redshirt sophomore Grant Rohach runs a touchdown at the spring football game Saturday. Rohach is one of three players hoping to fill the two available spring quarterback positions. Rohach was the “top performer” Saturday according to coach Paul Rhoads, but no decision has been made.

Quarterback hopefuls shoot for starting position in lineup By Maddy.Arnold @iowastatedaily.com Sophomore quarterback Grant Rohach took the first team snaps in the ISU football team’s spring game on Saturday. But ISU coach Paul Rhoads said that does not mean anything just yet. Rohach along with junior Sam Richardson and redshirt freshman Joel Lanning are in the midst of a quarterback competition for the starting position this fall. While the starting spot may still be up for grabs, Rohach took advantage of his opportunity to play with the first string on Saturday. “From my vantage point there was good composure back there and getting people lined up and running the offense,” Rhoads said. “I would say Grant was probably the top performer of the day that doesn’t put him on top of the stack necessarily.” Lanning took the first

snaps of the game but was playing with the second-string offense. Richardson was the last of the three top quarterbacks to play in the spring game and took snaps with the third team. Rhoads said the spring game is not representative of a final depth chart for the quarterbacks because they are rotating in practice. He said, however, that Iowa State should have two “leading candidates” for starting quarterback by the end of spring practice. “I’m not really worried about it,” Lanning said. “I’ve got to do what I can do. Grant’s got to do what he can do. Sam’s got to do what he can do. The other quarterbacks do what they can do. It does get old. It’s kind of funny because that’s like all anyone cares about. They don’t care about anything else.” Rohach led the other quarterbacks in passing yardage. He completed 22 passes in 38 attempts for a total of 171

yards during the spring game. Rohach also had an 8-yard rushing touchdown during the second quarter. However, Rohach did throw two interceptions during the spring game. Redshirt freshmen defensive backs Kamari Syrie and Ezra Reiners were both able to pick off the quarterback. “Towards the end I tried to force a few throws, tried to make too many plays,” Rohach said. “Overall, I think I did alright. I was pleased how the offense started out but when we hit the lull it was kind of disappointing.” Both of the other two quarterbacks in the running had much fewer attempts than Rohach. Lanning completed seven of his 14 pass attempts. He threw for 44 yards, behind both Rohach and Richardson. During the spring game, Richardson threw for 55 yards including a 12-yard touchdown

pass to redshirt sophomore wide receiver Damein Lawry. Richardson finished the game with eight completions in 13 attempts. Their performances in the spring game, however, were not the last chance for the three quarterbacks to make their case for one of Rhoads’ final two spots. Iowa State will have two more practices next week before the end of its spring season. “There comes a point that you really get concerned about timing and making sure the lead guy is getting the majority of those reps with those number ones,” Rhoads said. “Whether I’ll announce that in April when we get through practice Wednesday or we’ll wait to see what happens in August. “You’ve got to remember, there’s a lot of things that could happen in May, June and July leading up to August that could chance things.”

NOTEBOOK: Defensive line, Netten impress coaches during spring game Defense tallies 11 sacks despite recent dismissals By Beau.Berkley @iowastatedaily.com Going into the ISU football spring game, ISU coach Paul Rhoads thought using a limited playbook would favor the offense, but that wasn’t necessarily how it panned out. Iowa State’s sack happy defense finished the day with 11 sacks between six players and also had two interceptions in the second half after failing to force any turnovers in the first half. Regarding the defense’s performance, Rhoads said it was the best they have looked all spring. “They really leveraged the ball well, they took care of the up field shoulder, they tackled well and part of tackling well is gang tackling, and I thought they did that well,” Rhoads said. “They brought a decent bit of pressure today, in a variety of five- and six-man blitzes, and it paid off for them.” This spring has proved to be a tough one for the defensive line as both David Irving and Rodney Coe were dismissed from the team. Losing their experience might hurt the play of the defensive unit in the fall, but there were no signs of that Saturday. Corey Morrisey and Mitchell Meyers both stepped up for the defense by notching 3.5 sacks apiece with nine total tackles for Morrisey and six for Meyers. While the spring game was a confidence booster for the defense, Meyers said he is more focused on what he needs to improve. “I don’t think I played great,” Meyers said. “I was inconsistent. I had some good plays, but then again, I had some bad plays.”

Facing various charges stemming from the Veishea riot, ISU defensive tackle David Irving has been dismissed from the ISU football team. Irving Irving was photographed carrying a stop sign and seen on video helping take down a light pole during the riot in Campustown in Ames on Tuesday night and was criminally charged with fifth degree theft, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief in the second degree, a Class ‘D’ felony Friday. One day after being suspended indefinitely for a violation of the ISU student-athlete code of conduct policy, ISU coach Paul Rhoads announced Saturday after his team’s spring game that Irving had been dismissed from the team. “In the end, it’s a privilege and an honor to be a part of this football program and represent Iowa State football and Iowa State athletics and Iowa State University,” Rhoads said. “David Irving has exhausted that privilege to represent this football program by not meeting the expectations that we laid out for him.” Ames Police Department Commander Geoff Huff said Friday that Irving was charged with fifth degree theft after appearing in various photos and video footage carrying a stop sign. The disorderly conduct charge stems from video and photos of Irving involved in the riot, with the stop sign and pushing down a light pole with a group. Irving’s criminal mischief charge, which carries a sentence of up to five years in prison and a fine between $750 and $7,500, stems from helping take down a light pole, which Huff said was caught on video. Huff said the charge is in the second degree because the light pole is valued at $4,400. Irving was identified in photos and videos with a ‘distinguishable’ T-shirt, Huff said. All information on arrests stemming from the riot has been passed to Iowa State, Huff said. ISU President Steven Leath said Wednesday students involved would be held accountable while facing possible expulsion. In November, Irving was charged with domestic abuse causing injury after police were called to an apartment on a welfare check. Irving was suspended indefinitely and missed the Cyclones’ game against Oklahoma before being reinstated. Charges were dropped in that case in January. The dismissal of Irving from the football team continues to cut into the Cyclones’ defensive line depth as Brandon Jensen left the team in February and Rodney Coe was dismissed from the team in March for a violation of team rules.

ISU junior gets OWI, suspended indefinitely By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com

Redshirt junior Cole Netten played with a GoPro camera on his helmet at the spring football game Saturday. Netten’s 56-yard attempt went through the uprights, his longest of the day.

Saturday tests Netten’s leg strength Cole Netten, a redshirt sophomore from Ankeny, Iowa, has impressed Rhoads with his leg strength during spring practice, which prompted Rhoads to line Netten up for several lengthy field goal attempts. In the first quarter, Netten lined up and connected on a 29 yard try to score the first points of the game. Later on, Rhoads sent the sophomore out to test his leg. Netten stared down the goal posts from 62-yards away and went for it, but came up just short as the ball did not come off his foot the way he hoped. That miss did not keep Rhoads from sending Netten back out for a 56-yard try in the third quarter, which Netten sent through the uprights.

“I just started kicking him longer this past week, and he was excited about that and quickly responded to that challenge and asked for more on a daily basis,” Rhoads said. “From 40 [yards and] in, he has been very consistent all spring long. The second one [from 56 yards], I was glad that he got that opportunity after not being able to hit the first one [from 62 yards].” After missing from 62 yards, Netten said he expected Rhoads to put him back out on the field for the 56-yard attempt. “I was expecting him to put me out there because in warm-ups, I had a couple from 55 and some good hits,” Netten said. “I was confident in myself, and Coach is confident in me as well, so having both of us be confident in me is huge.”

ISU men’s basketball player Abdel Nader has been suspended indefinitely after he was arrested Saturday and charged with operNader ating while intoxicated according to police records. Nader was stopped at 11:41 p.m. Saturday by the ISU Police Department at the intersection of Hyland Avenue and West Street, police records show. An ISU spokesperson said Sunday that coach Fred Hoiberg is aware of the situation and Nader has been suspended indefinitely for violating the student-athlete code of conduct policy. Nader, a 6-foot-6 forward, transferred to Iowa State this season from Northern Illinois and sat out per NCAA transfer rules. He is eligible to play next year.

Iowa State gives Hoiberg $600,000 annual raise By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com Following a 28-win season that included Iowa State’s first trip to the Sweet 16 and Big 12 Championship since the 2000 season, coach Fred Hoiberg has been rewarded. Iowa State announced Friday that the fourth-year coach has been given a $600,000 raise per season to bring his annual compensation to $2.6 million, ranking him near the top10 coaches nationally. Hoiberg’s compensation will jump from $1.6 million from the 201314 season to $2.2 million next season with $100,000 raises per season to bring the overall value of the

contract to $2.6 million annually. “We are pleased to come to terms on a revised contract with Coach Hoiberg and his agent so quickly,” said ISU Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard in a statement. “We hope our commitment to him will keep him at Iowa State University for the rest of his career.” Hoiberg signed a 10year contract in May 2013 through the 2023 season with an annual average salary of $2 million plus bonuses. Aside from the raise, the remainder of Hoiberg’s contract will remain the same. Last season, Hoiberg earned $150,000 in bonuses: $50,000 for the

Cyclones’ conference championship, $50,000 for the NCAA tournament appearance and $25,000 for each of the team’s NCAA tournament victories. The Ames native has led the Cyclones to three consecutive NCAA tournament appearances and has gained national attention. To leave for the NBA, Hoiberg would have to pay a $500,000 buyout. “We recognize the tremendous accomplishments that have become commonplace during Fred’s tenure,” Pollard said. “We play an exciting brand of basketball that has brought Hilton Magic back to life. Equally important, his players have been good students and ambassadors for the institution.”

ISU softball to seek recovery after six-game losing streak By Ben.Paulus @iowastatedaily.com If nothing else, the six-game losing streak the ISU softball team is currently on will be one that will test its resiliency. Iowa State was unable to come away with a win during a three-game series this weekend against a formidable Texas squad. After dropping the first two in a double-header Friday, the Cyclones lost again Saturday, bringing their overall record to 1821 overall and 1-7 in the Big 12 this season. Without their ace freshman Katie Johnson available to pitch against Texas due to an unspecified illness, Iowa State had to find a way to switch its pitching rotation. “Any time you’re without someone who has thrown so many innings like Katie, you’ve got to get pretty creative with how you get through a game,” said ISU coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler. Johnson has already logged more than 180 in-

nings and 31 starts for the Cyclones thus far in her freshman campaign. Only six of the 39 games for Iowa State have been started by someone other than Johnson. Junior transfer Paris Imholz saw a majority of the innings in the circle against Texas, starting on the mound all three games during the weekend stretch. Imholz, along with the rest of the ISU pitching staff had their work cut out for them in facing Texas. The Longhorns own the Big 12’s best offense, hitting .356 as a team. Iowa State lost the opening game of Friday’s doubleheader 19-6. Imholz, junior transfer Stacy Roggentien, and junior Madison Jones, who made her first appearance on the season after shoulder surgery, combined to allow 14 hits and 11 walks. Settling down after her first performance, Imholz found her form in the second game of the doubleheader. “Since it was a dou-

bleheader, I think it was a little bit of vengeance heading into the second game,” Imholz said. “I knew what the batters had and I just tried to attack a little more.” Although Iowa State lost the second game 2-0, Imholz pitched her first complete game on the season. The only blemish in that contest Imholz had was a two-run homer allowed in the seventh by Texas’ Mandy Ogle. After dropping the first two, the Cyclones struggled to turn it around in the series finale Saturday. Iowa State allowed 17 earned runs to lose 17-1 in only five innings. ISU pitchers have struggled with their accuracy as of late. In the first and third games, the crew combined to allow 17 walks. In the second game, in which Imholz only walked three batters in seven innings of work, the Cyclones were able to stay in contention and give

them an opportunity to potentially win the game. “We have to keep working on attacking the strike zone and trusting the defense,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. “We can’t be worried about what happens when they put the ball into play.” Down late in a 17-1 ballgame that most consider out of reach Saturday, Iowa State brought third baseman Sara Rice in to try and finish out the ballgame on the mound. “I knew before the season that there was a slight possibility that if someone was out [on pitching],” Rice said. “I didn’t really expect to get in; I haven’t really pitched since sophomore year of high school.” Rice was able to record a strikeout in her lone inning of work for Iowa State. The Cyclones will get a short break from Big 12 competition this week. Iowa State will host North Dakota for an afternoon double-header starting at 2 p.m. Tuesday.
