Blackboard cheat I Teachers look for increased security as students share online exam answers By Stephanie.Schubert @iowastatedaily.com

t’s easy to do. It might also be easy to fix. It’s not surprising to hear that students cheat on exams. What isn’t always apparent is the ways in which people cheat, as well as the toll cheating has on those who wish to achieve their grades honestly. One student, who wished not to be named because he fears backlash from his peers, said many of his peers at Iowa State have been known to cheat through Blackboard. He said it’s a common occurrence in his large lecture hall classes. He first noticed people cheating during his sophomore year. Someone was passing around previous exams in biochemistry 301, a 200-person lecture hall class that requires students to take exams in the testing centers. “I think I figured it out around exam number two,” the student said. “I was in such a hole at that point, that I was considering using them. They were obviously helping.” The student spoke with Robert Thornburg, professor of the class, who had mentioned he noticed a discrepancy in scores among exams one, two and three. “[Exams] one and two were extraordinarily high, and then

three was very low,” the student said. “And it was assumed that it was because of the fact that these exams were being passed around.” The student said for the first two exams, there was a matching previous exam passed around. For the third exam, there was no test file and grades went down, Thornburg said. For the fourth exam, there was a test file and grades went up again. Exam number three had been an eye opener. “I distinctly remember — I was relieved when I got like, a 55 percent,” the student said. “That is what the rest of the class got on exam three because (before), everybody was getting Bs and high Cs while I’m getting Ds on these exams and I was freaking out.” Thornburg also recognized the trend. “Some students who had good grades on the first two exams did not have good grades on the third exam,” he said. The fluctuation in grades was enough for Thornburg to rewrite the exams for his biochemistry class, which takes time. “To write an exam question is five to 10 minutes of work,” he said. “Multiply that by 50.” Thornburg said this situation is frustrating because it’s important for him to guard against cheating. “If people can do that, I would like to know how,” he said. “I want everything to be fair for everybody

One common way of cheating on exams at Iowa State is for a bunch of students in the same class to get together and take the online test all at once.

and I really try hard to make it that way.” Thornburg has been teaching this class for two years now. He said he has never given a test back. His understanding was that Blackboard was highly secure, which is one of the reasons the university invested in it.

So how is cheating done? “It’s easy,” the student said. He had received a test file through an email from another student for Thornburg’s class. In fact, he continued to receive them last semester for another class.

Hillary Clinton takes on Iowa Candidate plans trip through Iowa, talks with local businesses

By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com While Hillary Clinton takes a second chance at campaigning for president and begins to do so through small personal events, she will visit an Iowa company that believes in second chances for employees and works to promote local growers. After visiting Kirkwood Community College on Tuesday, Clinton will visit Capital City Fruit in Norwalk, Iowa on Wednesday. The company was originally founded in 1949 as a small fruit market in downtown Des Moines before the creation of Interstate 235 and is now run by brothers Brendan, Kieran and Christian Comito. Brendan Comito, chief operating officer for the company, said Clinton’s campaign reached out to the Capital City Fruit last Friday before Clinton officially announced her candidacy. Comito said he is not sure just why Clinton chose his business, though he assumes it is because the company was an economic success through the recent recession and cares about its employees. “At first we were kind of like ‘we’re too busy to handle something like that,’” Comito said. “Then we were like ‘how often do you have a former first lady, a former senator, a former secretary of

state and a presidential candidate all rolled into one come and visit your business and learn about your successes and challenges?’” Clinton has announced her hasty tour through Iowa is meant to foster closer relationships with voters in the early-voting states. Political analysts have theorized Clinton’s closed meetings and delayed campaign stop announcements — as well as her idea of traveling in a van instead of flying to early-voting states — are meant to establish her as an approachable candidate for the middle class, or “everyday Americans” as she claimed in her announcement video. “It is basically her coming here to learn about our business and our company. We’re going to have a roundtable with other business owners and we’ll get a chance to tell her about our businesses and our struggles,” Comito said. Clinton is working to establish personal connections, but Comito said Capital City Fruit has a history of using local growers to establish their business, drawing much of their product from within a 300-mile radius from Des Moines during the summer. “We try and do what the customer wants, and this is what we’re hearing from the customers what they want. We’ve been working with local growers for over 30 years, before it was popular. In the last five years, we’ve

company has a desirable candidate who cannot be hired because it is found the person is here illegally. “What that points to me is that there is probably a need for some type of work visa program or some type of immigration reform, so that all these people that are kind of hidden could get a job legally, could get a license legally,” Comito said. “Our country’s really been built by immigrants and I think it’s important that we invest in this new generation of immigrants.” Comito said there is “no question” immigrants will “require a lot of resources, a lot of help and a lot of assistance,” but they are worth it because the first generation of immigrants are making the sacrifices and working hard so the second and third gen-

Hillary Clinton is in Iowa for a two-day swing to meet with Iowans, the first official stops on her 2016 campaign for president. Clinton, who announced her candidacy Sunday afternoon with a web video, is using a different type of strategy than her 2008 campaign by driving almost 15 hours to Iowa, and opting for small group interactions with voters instead of big campaign rallies. Instead of flying, Clinton drove from New York to Iowa on Sunday evening and most of Monday with just a few of her advisers and secret service protection. Mostly keeping it low key, Clinton did talk with some citizens at a gas station stop in Pennsylvania and was also spotted ordering lunch at Chipotle in Ohio, where she went unrecognized. Clinton stayed overnight in Davenport at the Hotel Blackhawk, and to the surprise of several Quad City residents and Iowa activists, made her first official campaign stop by sitting down at a coffee shop in nearby LeClaire. Carter Bell, a University of Iowa student who is also president of the UI College Democrats, said it was a surprise to meet with

seen a significant increase in demand for local produce,” Comito said. While Clinton begins her second presidential campaign, Comito said Capital City Fruit and Comito himself are strong proponents for second chances for their employees, 38 percent of whom are immigrants or refugees from places such as Vietnam, Burma, Mexico, El Salvador and African countries. Though Clinton has not announced why she chose to visit Capital City Fruit or detailed any stance on immigration reform, Comito said he believes that is an issue any presidential candidate should focus on. “What we’re finding is that the people from these other countries are extremely reliable and dedicated and hard-working,” Comito said.

PITCHING FOR A

PURPOSE Grad students present clean energy product By Greg.Zwiers @iowastatedaily.com ISU graduate students spent Tuesday in Chicago to present their product ARTichar, a renewable activated carbon used for water filtration, at the Clean Energy Challenge. The six students represent Advanced Renewable Technology International, a company that was founded in 2013 by ISU students. Bernardo del Campo and Matthew Kieffer, both graduate students in mechanical engineering, pitched their process of making the renewable activated charcoal 20 to 40 percent cheaper than their competitors. ARTichar is made from renewable biomass such as agriculture refuse, wood debris and milling pellets. Clean Energy Trust, a

non-profit that helps fund clean energy companies across the Midwest, sponsors The Clean Energy Challenge. This year, the challenge made a total of $1 million available in investment prizes. “The main goal of the challenge is to continue to fund clean energy and clean energy technology in the Midwest,” said Michelle Dutton of Resolute Consulting. Clean Energy Trust started the challenge in 2011, and has grown the competition into the million dollar event it is today. The challenge is split among five “student track” companies and nine “early stage” companies. The student track companies presented in the morning and the early stage companies presented in the afternoon. Del Campo said there were between 100 and 150 people in the audience, which was a mix of investors and the public, as he and Kieffer presented. In the presentation, Kieffer said there are 30 ISU students working with the team.

From left to right: Casey Nelson, Matt Kieffer, Juan Proano, Wendy Borja, Edson Vendrusculo and Bernardo del Campo. The six graduate students presented ARTichar, a renewable activated carbon used for water filtration, at the Clean Energy Challenge in Chicago on Tuesday.

Students networked during a provided lunch. Networking is a major part of the event, del Campo said. “We talked to 20 or 30 people interested in what we are doing and I think that’s the most valuable part of the Clean Energy Challenge,” del Campo said. ARTi did not win any of the investment prizes. Del Campo said the con-

tacts are a lot more valuable than winning investment money. The students also had an investors meeting on Wednesday. Another Iowa company, Johnston-based Igor, won a $25,000 investment and a $100,000 investment. ARTi currently works with clients in municipal water treatment, bio-diesel and ethanol production as well as industrial effluent

treatment. The company is based in Prairie City and has a fulltime staff so students can focus more on developing the technology, del Campo said. ARTi’s clients are mainly in the Des Moines metro area, but they hope to expand to the entire Midwest. Their current method of development can create 2 pounds of ARTIchar per day

from 5 pounds of biomass. The six students didn’t have plans for after the event. “I think we’ve got a bunch of homework to finish, so not much fun,” del Campo said. Casey Nelson, Juan Proano, Wendy Borja and Edson Vendrusculo were the other ARTi representatives at the Clean Energy Challenge.

Students showcase research, projects at symposium By Madeline.Gould @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s ninth annual Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression Symposium took place Tuesday in the Pioneer Room of the Memorial Union. The symposium included 49 majors, 145 students and 113 presentations of research projects undergraduate students have been developing. The event is coordinated by the honors program to showcase various types of research from undergraduate students. It is unique because the symposium is open to all students who are participating in research and it specifically focuses on undergraduate student research. “It’s great to work with undergrads because they have fresh ideas. They’re usually very, very eager to do research when they’re interested in it,” said Rhea

Waldman, post-doctoral student in ecology/evolution and organismal biology. “They have so many opportunities now to figure out what they’re interested in, which I think is a great thing.” The symposium selects the projects to be presented by reviewing abstracts of hopeful presenters. The selection committee looks for originality when assessing projects, said Michael Lyons, coordinator for undergraduate research. Part of his job is to encourage and develop undergraduate research throughout the whole university, Lyons said. “If you want someone to spend enough time to produce these kinds of results, there really has to be some serious incentive or they’re a very special undergrad in terms of motivation,” said Rye Waldman, post-doctoral student in aerospace engineering. Waldman said some

of the students received class credit or fulfilled a curriculum requirement by doing these research projects, but there should be more to incentivize the undergraduate students to encourage them to make research a part of their busy schedule. The meteorology major has a required senior thesis requirement for graduation, said Samantha Lodge, senior in meteorology and environmental science. Lodge said she developed her project with her mentors, Eugene Takle and Renee Walton, who also assisted in her research study on determining the effects of wind shear on the power output in individual wind turbines. Jaime Freiburger, senior in pre-med kinesiology, said she was inspired to do research by her professor, Elizabeth Stegemoller. “If you’re interested in what a lot of people are, and you’re good at it, and understanding it, then it’s

a big foot in the door,” Freiburger said. Her project was on the quality of life for patients with Parkinson’s disease. Not all of the projects presented at the symposium were scientific, however. Some focused on interior design, social media and gender studies. “This is the only one I could do something for that has an open application to any area, so I really appreciate that — that it’s any research and creative expression,” said Krista Klocke, senior in speech communication and communication studies. Klocke’s project was a rhetorical criticism titled “The Danger of Feminine Political Narratives.” She said she presented at the symposium her freshman year and was planning for it this semester. Research can be anything as long as the researcher is looking at the topic from a unique angle and discovering something new, Lyons said.

Emily Matson/Iowa State Daily

Samantha J. Lodge, senior in meteorology, explains her research about wind shear events on power output during the Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression Symposium on Tuesday in the Memorial Union.

The symposium allows students to share their findings on the research they have done through both posters and presentations. “It’s nice to be able to talk about your research and educate people,” Freiburger said. Research also allows students to make use of and apply their coursework in their own unique way to find something new. “It’s just so much more

fun than just taking your classes,” Lyons said. Waldman said the students who perform this research should be rewarded, and this is a good way to do this because the students are able to show off their work. “If you put all that work in, tell somebody about it,” said Ashley Overman, graduate student for the honors program who helped organize the event.

CAMPAIGN p1 Clinton. She said Clinton’s Iowa staff told her that she would have the opportunity to meet with campaign staff to talk about issues, but instead wound up having the opportunity to sit down with Clinton. Bell, who was also joined by a St. Ambrose University student from Davenport and a Planned Parenthood employee from West Liberty, said the meeting with Clinton lasted about an hour and 15 minutes. As for the conversation, Bell said Clinton asked those meeting with her about themselves, and then

got to go put their money somewhere, so that helps the banking industry. The jobs created from these immigrants more than offsets any jobs they would take.” Comito said he hopes to use the opportunity to meet with Clinton to talk about the struggles for business owners in America. “I hope she just listens.

A lot of times politicians come in and say this is what I’m about. It’s very rare that they say ‘I’m here to listen to what you care about,’” Comito said. “It’s really important to engage with political leaders so they know what challenges you face. What we’re trying to do is make sure they’re creating an environment where jobs

can grow and businesses can be successful.” Though Comito said he identifies as a democrat, he is open to speaking with any candidate on issues considered both liberal or conservative. “I want to support things that are going to help my company and my employees,” Comito said.

asked about what students on campus are concerned about. They discussed college affordability, student debt, student loans and textbook costs. “I really enjoyed it,” Bell said. “It was amazing to get to meet with her like that. I think [her small group stops] are a little unconventional because most politicians I’ve experienced have big rallies and bigger events. I really felt like she cared what I had to say and wanted to hear what people were saying on the ground.” Clinton was later in Monticello at the Jones County Regional Center of Kirkwood Community College. There she meet

with about 20 different Iowans, mostly high school and college students, but also some high school and Kirkwood administration officials. At the event, Clinton struck a populist tone, similar to her announcement video, saying something is wrong in America when CEOs make 300 times more than average workers. Along with calling for possible constitutional amendment to keep big money out of politics, she discussed at length education topics and said she supports President Obama’s plan for two free years of community college. The two-day swing is

Clinton’s first as a candidate and her first Iowa trip since her appearance at former Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin’s streak fry in Indianola back in September. At 11:45 a.m. Wednesday, Clinton will be at Capital City Fruit in Norwalk, a city of 8,000 just south of Des Moines. Several other potential Democratic candidates have been in Iowa recently, including former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb this past weekend. Bell said she is a solid Clinton supporter at this point, but “competition is good and would make her a stronger candidate.”

Why is the U.S. afraid of women? By Madison.Ward @iowastatedaily.com

s a whole I would say America has done alright for itself since 1776. We have definitely made our mistakes but we’ve also had some great triumphs, socially and politically. Of course not everyone will agree with everything this country has done, but for the most part, we are fairly well off. We have our rights, access to an innumerable amount of luxuries and we are protected by a solid military defense, among other things. As much as I would love to see our poverty levels decrease and our judgement of other cultures end, I find it very hard to imagine myself personally thriving in another country simply based on the blessings I have received in this one. However, there is one glaringly obvious thing the United States is epically failing at while other countries have been doing it naturally for years: supporting women in charge. Now that Hillary Clinton has officially thrown her hat into the ring for the second time, I think it’s time we take a look at how the U.S. compares to other countries in terms of supporting women who hold high offices. And as it turns out, seriously considering a woman for the office of president isn’t

the only area in which women weren’t taken seriously in the U.S. In preparation for this article I did substantial research into women who held a high position of power throughout the world. I went to all kinds of websites to try and track down a proper list of them all and with each new site I stumbled upon, I realized something — the U.S. was basically nowhere to be found until the late 1800s. And I should mention that the woman who finally broke through that particular glass ceiling was Susanna Salter. Salter was elected mayor of Argonia, Kan. in 1887. For centuries prior to America even considering the possibility of a woman running any political office, other countries had been doing it openly and successfully. For example, there were a handful of female Pharaohs who ruled Egypt like Hatshepsut in the 15th century B.C. and Cleopatra from 69 to 30 B.C. As we work our way forward through our world’s history we see France, Spain and England all contributing to the list of female rulers and leaders. Noting that countries had female leaders very early on in our globe’s history may not come off as all that surprising for various reasons. But when thinking about countries like France and England, which were growing in the industrial

age at around the same rate as America, makes one wonder why we are so far behind. While arguments such as the U.S. government being numerically younger than other European governments are true, I believe we have since caught up. And statistically speaking, that is shown to be true in a Pew Research study that indicates America’s influence on other countries. In 2013, at least 50 percent of people who were polled in countries like Mexico, China and South Africa thought America had an influence on the way their country was being run. We have some impact on the world but clearly we aren’t letting the world have an impact on us in terms of having a woman in power. I do think it’s a tad early to be preaching at you all to go vote for Hillary because she’s got about a year and a half to earn our votes and we shouldn’t vote for her just because she’s a woman, nor should we not vote for her because she’s a woman. However, I think that it’s just a little messed up that it has taken this long for people in a country so advanced in so many other ways to be solidly backing a female who has aspirations of running for president. And perhaps as we watch Hillary walk this path for the second time, we should not judge her capabilities as president based on her gender but her qualifications.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Lessons on how to reclaim masculinity By Tanner Hildebrand, senior in computer enginnering I would like to address an article published April 7 by Clay Rogers specifically in which he concludes that “our men [are] emasculated.” A quick Google search returned the definition of emasculated for me and the top definition is as follows: “make (a person, idea or piece of legislation) weaker or less effective.” I would just like to take a moment to iterate some things that are not emasculating to perhaps educate M. Rogers’ and others and help them reclaim their masculinity.

Things that are not emasculating: Loving your country but admitting it might have been a bit off base. Not being a Christian. Progress. Samesex marriage — also known as regular marriage that happens to involve two ladies or two gentlemen. Doing your job as a politician to support the will of the people, and consequently amending laws that the populace finds unacceptable. Resisting laws that permit people to be treated as less than others just because the “others” own a damn pizza parlor. Apologizing for mistakes and owning your shame. Listening to the “chants and jingles” of the people and honoring the intent of your political position

to serve the people. While that sums up most of what Rogers’ article seemed to think was weakening men, I think we’ll all benefit if I go a little further. Things that are also not emasculating: liking pink ... it’s an excellent color, not liking violence, not being athletic, being nice to people, strong women, liking guys if you’re a guy, or gals if you’re a gal, liking flowers and unicorns and stuff. Has this cleared anything up? Of course there are some things that definitely are emasculating, given our definition. I’ll list some of these as well: being threatened by social equality, being a d--- to people who don’t share your

religious views, being upset that two people love each other just because both their private bits dangle, or both don’t. Their sexy parts really aren’t your business anyway. Resorting to violence as a means to a solution (Rogers, thank you for understanding this point). Being threatened by women. Degrading people who like flowers and unicorns and romantic comedies and the like. I know it can be hard sometimes to keep it all straight, so I hope this helped. But if all of this was too much to process just remember to not be an a--hat and you should be good to go, thanks. – Tanner Hildebrand, Professional Manly Man

Culture change needed in celebration of achievements How fantastic was this year’s March Madness? Besides Iowa State’s early exit, if you’re even slightly a fan of college basketball, you had fun on that ride. The Big 10 showed up big, placing two teams in the Final Four; Wisconsin captured hearts with antics during news conferences; Michigan State proved that No. 7 seeds are just as dangerous as No. 1 or 2 seeds; Notre Dame gave Kentucky a scare before Wisconsin crushed any hopes of making the prolific 40-0 run. Thus leads us to the following point. Instead of celebrating the season with camaraderie at bars, parties in homes or just staying in and admitting defeat on an otherwise historic run, Kentucky fans went out and threw flaming objects across a crowd of more than 1,500 people. A total of 31 rioters were arrested due to lack of respect and this has only furthered the destructive sports tradition. Yes, it’s become a tradition to dismantle, destroy and inflict injury on a person’s community in the name of celebration. During the championship week of the Frozen Four, the NCAA tournament for hockey, Minnesota students rioted twice in one week. The first came in celebration of the Gophers’ advancement to the championship match, and the second in anger after the Gophers’ loss in the title game. A total of 19 people were arrested on the second night, according to the dailymail.com. Street fights took place along with police in full riot gear. Trash, bottles, cans, you name it, littered the streets of Dinkytown, the downtown campustown area on the University of Minnesota’s campus. In 2014, Kansas fans tore down the goalposts in one of the end zones after the team’s victory against Iowa State. Ole Miss did the same by dismantling the goal posts and taking it through the streets. Even ISU fans destroyed parts of Campustown in “celebration” of Veishea last year. So why have we let this become such a vital part of celebration of the great accomplishments those around us have been able to achieve? Why was burning couches in the streets a “rite of passage” in Morgantown, W. Va.? Lawmakers there recently passed a ban that prohibits the “having of or burning of upholstered furniture on exterior properties.” While it’s a step in the right direction to be cutting down on the asinine and nonsensical actions of those who don’t understand the difference between a simple right and wrong, the fact the action had to be taken in the first place is dumbfounding. So before any sporting team or celebratory event makes its move toward fame and national recognition, keep in mind all of the wrongdoings by our fellow college peers across the nation. Maybe if there ever is a national championship quest or Veishea-like event, ISU students will be the frontrunners in a new, respectable tradition of celebrating.

AN HONORABLE TREND ISU gymnastics sends individual to nationals By Kevin.Horner @iowastatedaily.com It is often said that a team is only as good as its weakest link, yet the opposite has held true for ISU gymnastics for the last halfdecade. Despite failing to reach the NCAA Championships as a team since 2006, Iowa State has still been represented at nationals through individual competitors in five of the last six years. Senior Caitlin Brown carried on this esteemed legacy with her successful performance at the NCAA Regional competition on April 4. Given these recent successes and habitual appearances at the NCAA Championships, Brown’s qualification came as less of a surprise and more of an expected result from an ongoing trend. “It’s always our goal to have someone representing Iowa State at the national championship,” said ISU gymnastics coach Jay Ronayne. “It’s just what we do.” Brown, who advanced to nationals for her second straight year, will be thrown in with names such as Michelle Browning and Michelle Shealy as a member of an elite group of ISU gymnasts — a group that, despite team shortcomings,

It means that we are good and we can compete on a national stage. Just because our team didn’t make it this year or the other years, it doesn’t mean you can count us out.” Browning, a teammate of both Brown and Shealy, began this individual streak of success by finishing sixth in the all-around competition at the NCAA West Regional in 2010. Unfortunately for Browning and the Cyclones, the 2010 ISU

Ironwoman of the Year had to withdraw from the competition at nationals due to blood clots in her lungs. Despite this setback, Browning’s success served to start a trend that would carry on for years to come. Shealy, a Cyclone from 2011-2014, also qualified for the NCAA Championships in her freshman and junior seasons. The Snellville, Ga. native was also a member of the All-American first team for the beam, finishing in a tie for fifth in the event at the NCAA Championships in 2013. Inhibited by injuries, Shealy did not compete allaround in 2014, but regard-

less, she passed on the torch to Brown, who carried it through both her junior and senior seasons. “[Browning and Shealy] are both people I really look up to and respect,” Brown said. “They embody what it means to be an Iowa State gymnast completely. To be in that group of names with them, I’m really honored.” These three women have kept ISU gymnastics on the map despite Iowa

State’s inability to return to the NCAA Championships as a team for a number of years. However, with Brown graduating next year, the Cyclones will need a new gymnast to step up, or, as the Cyclones would prefer, the whole team to once again reach the big stage. Much remains in the air for the future of ISU gymnastics concerning their national legacy, but Caitlin Brown has confi-

dence this run will not take any hiatus despite the conclusion of her ISU career. “We still are continuously making strong gymnasts,” Brown said. “To have so many young ones and to have Haylee [Young], who almost made it [to nationals] her first year, it says something about Iowa State gymnastics. This is a strong program and we should be looked at on a national stage.”

Luke Knott’s future with ISU still uncertain By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa State Daily

Redshirt junior linebacker Luke Knott chases down Kansas tight end Jimmay Mundine on Nov. 8. Knott is curently recovering from a hip injury.

Injuries have plagued the ISU football team recently, and the linebacker position is no exception. Perhaps the biggest blow at linebacker comes from redshirt junior Luke Knott, whose future with the Iowa State Cyclones is still very foggy. Knott, a Rivals.com three-star recruit from Lee’s Summit, Mo., injured his hip during the 2013 season. After starting five games at linebacker, the then redshirt freshman had to have season-ending surgery. Knott recovered quickly and was back on the field for the 2014 season. He started eight games for the Cyclones that year and was third on the team in tackles — recording 74 total and 37 solo

tackles. His hip problem, however, hasn’t gone away. Knott re-injured his hip during this past offseason, and is still waiting on word from team doctors. “Intelligent minds will give [Knott] and the family all the information and then we’ll start making decisions from there,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads. “Everything is on the table right now. He could start in 2015, or he could never play football again. I think it’s all on the table.” Knott was forced to sit out of the spring game on Saturday, and is still waiting for more information on the extent of the injury. Rhoads said last week that he isn’t going to rush this decision, either. “Until those great surgeons give them everything they need and we know

Redshirt junior linebacker Levi Peters, who also suffered a season-ending injury last season after tearing his achilles tendon, knows exactly what Knott is going

through. “He’s battled injuries and I’ve battled injuries,” Peters said. “I couldn’t feel worse for him, but at the same time, you have to have a positive attitude and he’s got to have a positive attitude too.”

First 4K Hay Run Fraternity hosts event to bring cancer awareness By Bailey.Brooker @iowastatedaily.com Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity will host the first annual 4K Hay Run for Cancer on Central Campus at 6 p.m. Friday. The run is for any skill set, from beginner to advanced, and will include a few minor obstacles. “Throughout the course there will be various hay bale obstacles, including hurdles, pyramids and other structures that require jumping and climbing,” said Ryan Gallus, sergeant-at-arms for

Delta Sigma Phi. The Hay Run has a $10 fee and registration can be accessed on AccessPlus under the “Student” tab. Students have the option to either charge it to their U-Bill or pay immediately by clicking the “Pay now” option. Students may also register on the day of the race from 4 to 6 p.m. There will be gift cards awarded to the top three runners and 90 percent of the proceeds will go toward cancer efforts. “We have decided that for whatever Greek chapter or student organization

brings the most people to our event, we will donate the remaining 10 percent of funds raised to the charity of their choice,” Gallus said. The 4K for Cancer organization does a 4,000mile trek across the United States to raise awareness, money and bring hope to families impacted by cancer. A current member of Delta Sigma Phi, Tyler Tweeten, is currently training for the trek across the country. This is the primary reason for choosing to donate to this charity.

By Jasmine.Schillinger @iowastatedaily.com Most people have heard of the Komen Race for the Cure events, but what some may not know is how significant the Susan G. Komen organization’s impact has been on people across the world. This year, the Susan G. Komen Des Moines, Iowa organization has joined forces with the Southeast Iowa organization for the event. Through this partnership, both organizations are proud to announce the Race for the Cure will be back in Ottumwa on May 9 at the Greater Ottumwa Park. The race will include a one-mile walk, the 5-K race/walk, the kids’ fun run and the survivor recognition at the end of all races. According to the Susan G. Komen website, their nonprofit organization has “funded more than $800 million

in research, more than $1.7 billion in screening, education, treatment and psychosocial support, and served millions over 30 countries worldwide.” Gayla Harrison, Ottumwa Race co-chair and breast cancer survivor, describes the organization’s goals for the upcoming event. “We want to raise awareness of breast cancer and encourage everyone to be familiar with their bodies, do regular breast exams and see a doctor if you notice something is not normal,” Harrison said. “We would love to have around 2,500 [people] participate in the race.” This year, the Iowa organizations encourage participants to fundraise above and beyond their entry fees. Teams will be able to track their progress online and earn the chance to win prizes — adding to the friendly competition. Kristen Howe, senior in marketing, is one of many who have been af-

fected by the reality of a loved one diagnosed with breast cancer. “I was in eighth grade when my best friend told me her mom had breast cancer,” Howe said. “No one ever really thinks anything like that could happen to them, so when it does it makes you realize how important it is to live each day to the fullest and spend it with the people you love.” With organizations like Susan G. Komen, more and more people are able to obtain access to treatment and support teams to help them fight this fatal disease. “Race for the Cure can bring a support system to people affected by cancer,” Howe said. “But it can also help give people important health information that may end up saving a life.

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP ADVICE: FITTING IN WITH FRIENDS By Emily.Barske @iowastatedaily.com Many individuals want their significant other to mesh well with their friends. In fact, some people will not date someone their friends don’t like. “I value my friends’ opinions — I like to take what they have to say and contemplate about it,” Hunter said. It is important to have

interactions with both individuals’ set of friends. Hanging out with your significant other’s friends shows you are trying to make progress in the relationship. In addition, you may end up making close friends through the experience. Hanging out with your partner while they are with their friends allows you to see how they behave around other people. Some people

JOURNAL ENTRIES: DESCRIBE THE EXPERIENCE Blake: “The play was very nice and not something that I do very often. After the play, we went to a party at my friend’s house, which was a lot of fun. It was the first time that Hunter and I have gotten to spend a lot of time together in a large social setting, and it was great.” Hunter: “He met one of my good friends that was there [at the play] doing costuming. We then dropped off my car and went over to one of his friend’s places. We hung out there for a long time where I got to meet all of his friends. It was a really fun time to talk to all the new people. We stayed there late just talking and hanging out. After we finally left I walked him home and gave him a hug.”

use a whole different personality around their friends, and for a relationship to work, it is important you know every side of them. For one of their dates, Daily Daters Blake and Hunter went to a play at the Fisher Theater before going to Blake’s friend’s place for a party. Find out about Blake’s and Hunter’s experience with each other’s friends below.

BLAKE & HUNTER

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR MATCH? Blake: “He got along with my friends really well, which is definitely important. After getting to spend time with him at a party, I got to see how social he is, which I like.” Hunter: “I like him; he is a good guy.” WHAT DID YOU LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF? Blake: “I found out that I take advice from my close friends, and they all liked hanging out with Hunter, so I think that’s a good sign.” Hunter: “That I am socially awkward always.”

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE DATE? Blake: “Although I enjoyed the play, getting to hang out at my friends’ party afterwards was more fun since it was such a change from our regular dates.” Hunter: “My favorite part was meeting all of his friends and actually socializing with people.”

Relationships matter. If you asked my friends in college, they would tell you that I often kept my friend groups isolated. My fraternity brothers did not interact with my teammates from the football team. My coworkers in the Department of Residence did not associate with my Guest column: fr iends from Billy Boulden, the leadership Director of Greek Affairs program. I lived a life that enjoyed relationships, but I placed a priority on many relationships rather than deep meaningful relationships. I didn’t understand until one of my best friends said to me that she must be a really good friend because I let her in all my circles. Relationships matter. What’s interesting is that I didn’t even realize that I was compartmentalizing my friends. I had no idea that my friends perceived me as only needing them for certain points of my life. I certainly had no idea that some of my closest friends thought that I was using them and only focused on my personal gain. Relationships matter. You are not the only person invested in your relationship. It is one thing to fit into a group, but being invested in a group is far more important. We are attracted to people who have similar ideals, interests and hobbies as ourselves. For example, if you have an interest in saving the environment, you might choose to be a part of a sustainability group. You may fit into the group dynamics because you have similar interests to the other members of the group, but until you engage and become an active member helping with projects and organization initiatives you have not invested in the group. You may feel as though being a part of the organization is valuable to you, but others might not perceive you in the same way. Relationships matter. One way to show your significant other that they truly matter to you is to bring that person into your circle of friends. This is a huge step in vulnerability. Showing your partner that you are not afraid to be yourself around that special person and your closest friends is a great way to show your true self. Sometimes this is hard, but your partner shouldn’t be different from your friends, and there should be common ground for everyone to get along. Relationships matter.

However, what some professors may not know is that by pressing the link that connects to the grade, it brings up the whole test, answers and all. This came partly as a surprise to Edward Braun, professor of microbiology, when he learned of the situation. This is the second class the student took in which cheating was rampant. “I do open the tests up so they can see their scores,” Braun said. When he was told there was a test file for every exam he had that semester, he

said he assumed someone was keeping a batch of them. He looked over a copy of a previous test and found about 60 percent of it matched the current test, pretty much word for word. “That’s why I put sample exams that have a lot of the same questions as the test bank questions,” Braun said. There are also other ways he said he works to ensure fairness. “It’s important that I do a handful of new questions on each exam,” he said. “The ball’s in my court to change questions and change exams.” But even in light of knowledge that students were cheating, there hadn’t been a fluctuation of grades in his class to make him worry. “The scores this semes-

ter are not very good,” he said. It didn’t bother him as much as it would if students were able to cheat off the current semester’s test. But the student said yes, they can do that, too. The same printing method is used regardless of which test is being compromised. Because Braun’s test was open for five days, it enabled a student to take the test early, print it out and pass it on for someone to take the next day. The student himself overheard a girl in Braun’s class offering her test to someone else. He said most people in his large lecture hall classes knew about the emails, and biochemistry can contain up to 200 people. Doug Bull, director of the testing center at Iowa State, sees the game going

even further. “Students will take turns being the sacrificial lamb. They take turns taking the test first because sometimes a professor will throw out the worst exam,” he said. Bull has seen this issue come up in different departments of the university. Although the loophole is easy to exploit, he said the solution is simple. The problem, he said, is that the exam settings are not clear for Blackboard. He gave an example of an instructor who took over a class for another professor, who also ended up inheriting the same Blackboard exam settings. Cheating ensued and it took a while to fix. Bull is not sure how this instructor finally got word of the exam loophole.

test ends, when students can immediately see their scores. One choice called “due date” gives students test information after the test has closed for everyone. After learning about this obstacle in preparing tests, Thornburg said he would be interested in investigating these setting options. Braun has already met with the people at Center for Excellence and Learning, changing the settings to block the possibility of printing out tests. He also asked the staff to focus on the issue when the center holds workshops for faculty members. Last semester, Braun spoke to his microbiology class, alerting students they are playing with fire when they decide to cheat, even though it may seem innocent to them.

Another case included a student who was writing down the test answers in the testing center. Bull talked to the instructor and again the issue was with the settings. The feedback section of the settings framework in Blackboard is where the confusion lies. A professor can choose to check a box that says “score,” so a student can see their percentage. But if they check the box, “it makes the professor believe that the student will only see the score,” Bull said. In reality, that choice allows the student to see the whole test. If the professor does not click “score,” the students only see the score. There are also settings to restrict when a student is allowed to view test information. One choice called “end date” allows for test information when the
