When fans attend an Iowa State athletic event, there’s no doubt they’ll see a coach’s kid or significant other in the stands cheering on the Cyclones. Whether it is coach Steve Prohm’s son, Cass, on his famous step inside Hilton Coliseum or Bill Fennelly’s son coaching right alongside him, Iowa State athletics is laced with family. That’s what part of being a family at Iowa State University takes, and Jamie Pollard knows it. Pollard has been Iowa State’s athletic director for the past 12 years. Dubbed “the most important part of his job,” Pollard has hired some of the biggest coaches in the past two years. He has brought in new football, men’s basketball, softball and wrestling head coaches. And that’s just in the last two years. Pollard has hired all but four of the current head coaches at Iowa State in his tenure: Women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly, volleyball coach Christy JohnsonLynch, women’s golf coach Christie Martens and women’s swim coach Duane Sorenson. Fennelly, who was hired under Gene Smith, remembered he wasn’t looking for a new job while he was the head women’s basketball coach at Toledo in the early 1990s, but when he received a call from Iowa State, it was an offer he couldn’t refuse. Fennelly and his wife Deb are both Iowa natives. Johnson-Lynch, one of the last hires of then-Iowa State Athletic Director Bruce Van De Velde, remembered she also wasn’t actively looking for a job at the time she received a phone call. Johnson-Lynch was an assistant coach at the University of Wisconsin, but the opportunity

With a bright sky and shining sun, students joined Saturday to celebrate the Hindu spring festival, Holi, in the recreation fields of Frederiksen Court. The event was hosted by Iowa State’s Indian Students’ Association. Holi takes place after the conclusion of winter, according to Hindu calendars. The holiday is celebrated in India and Nepal, but over the years, it has spread to many parts of South Asia, Europe and North America. This year’s Holi festival in India took place on March 13, but cold weather pushed back the Iowa State celebration to April. Mehul Shinde, president of the Indian Students’ Association, said the festival began during ancient times when one of the Hindu goddesses started it to celebrate the defeat of evil and to encourage participants of Holi to do away with all of the bad things that had occurred before the celebration. In modern times, Holi participants get involved in a “color fight” with organic color powder. “It’s pretty cool,” Shinde said. “In India we have big wells and we put coloring in the wells and we throw people into the wells.” Shinde said that the color fights can be intense in India. The Indian Students’ Association has been celebrating Holi every year at Iowa State. Shinde remembered attending Holi last year and helping coordinate the event. “Here we try to keep it as original as possible,” Shinde said. “We have all the colors and all the water we need.” The event has been a popular and successful one for the student organization, with about 150 to 200 attendees each year. As an attempt to have new things every year, the Indian Students’ Association provided free white T-shirts for everyone participating. “I find it another opportunity to embrace the Indian culture,” Zaran Claes, junior in electrical engineering, said.

Architect students compete BWBR Prize Competition offers internship opportunities By Sheikh.Jallow @iowastatedaily.com The BWBR prize competition challenged junior architects at Iowa State University and offered students the chance at internship opportunities and a cash prize Friday afternoon. The competition is an annual challenge funded by the BWBR
Architects firm that is committed to draw out exceptional junior architecture students from Iowa State University, North Dakota State University and the University of Wisconsin. The group that wins the competition is offered a cash prize of $2,000 and internship opportunities. The competition challenges students to draw out environ-

Polarizing views will clash Tuesday when Iowa State student organizations Turning Point USA (TPUSA) and Young Democratic Socialists (YDS) debate seemingly opposite political-economical philosophies at 6:30 p.m. in Physics Hall. Both groups believe students should become more socially involved in political and economic issues. They hope this debate will serve to educate curious parties and start conversations. Ben Whittington, freshman in political science and debater for TPUSA, believes the debate will “entertain and enlighten” Iowa State students. “This debate is for the people in the middle,” Whittington said. “I think our ideas will get prominence after students are duly informed of our side.” Whittington said TPUSA believes freedom of speech and free market capitalism are intertwined, and government should be greatly limited in its economic power. David Filip, senior in statistics and member of YDS, insists that
students could stand to know more about economic alternatives to capitalism. He and YDS believe socialism has become a dirty word in American pop culture, and they wish to end that. “This failing economic system needs to be changed,” Filip said. “Students need to be exposed to new ideas.” Democratic socialism has gained popularity largely because of the running platform of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Sanders sought “to address the obscene levels of wealth and income inequality,” according to sanders.senate.gov. TPUSA agrees that politics and economics should stop being taboo social subjects, but that’s where their concurrency with YDS begins and ends. Both groups vehemently disagree on policy and the direction America should take moving forward. “Socialism reformation will probably destabilize the whole world,” Ahsas Bermudez, junior in chemical engineering and member of TPUSA, said. Rosie Cook, sophomore in pre-business and YDS debater, hopes the debate will help “destigmatize” inaccurate preconceptions about socialism. “Under capitalism, unemployable people aren’t taken care of … and people are doomed simply by lack of opportunity,” Cook said. “[Socialism] is about

Members of Delta Sigma Theta participants preform their recited step routine in front of a crowd of approximately 200 audience members in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union on Saturday evening. Delta Sigma Theta took first place in the Greek Fest competition.
Greek Fest shakes it up By Nik.Heftman @iowastatedaily.com The fraternities and sororities of the National Pan-Hellenic Greek Council (NPHC) made the Memorial Union jump Saturday night as they stepped, strolled and made traditional “calls” during their annual Greek Fest celebration and competition. Members of Iowa State’s greek and non-greek communities filled the Great Hall of the MU to support the historically African-American organizations of the NPHC, widely known as the “Divine Nine,” as they competed against one another in a step-and-stroll competition as part of greek Fest. “It’s a good way to show some greek unity amongst the NPHC organizations,” said Jasmine Scott, sophomore in industrial technology and member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. “Everyone comes out to show the crowd what they have and what they’ve been working on.” Six of the Divine Nine organizations bear representation at Iowa State: Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. Alpha Phi Alpha members stormed the stage wearing their symbolic black and and gold colors. They performed to a remixed rendition of “Straight Outta Compton” by N.W.A. They also used their performance to express their disdain for bigotry.
Omega Psi Phi started its performance with a choreographed routine to “Motivation” by Keely Rowland. Wearing camouflaged printed pants, gold boots and purple shirts bearing the fraternity’s name on the front in gold letters, Omega Psi Phi capped its performance with a stroll to “Atomic Dog” by George Clinton. “I was really proud of all the organizations that came out. They practiced hard and it showed when they performed today,” said Chandler Wilkins, president of the NPHC and member of Alpha Phi Alpha. “I’m really pleased with the event.” Wilkins and Scott said that preparation for the event could take weeks, or months. Delta Sigma Theta performed in red T-shirts with white writing that read “Stay Woke.” Zeta Phi Beta and Sigma Gamma Rho followed their performance. David Ortiz, senior in environmental science and member of Sigma Lambda Beta Fraternity, Inc., a fraternity in the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), said that the MGC attends Greek Fest every year to show love and respect for the NPHC. “We always try to come out and support,” Ortiz said. “The NPHC has been on campus for a while and we always love showing respect for the council.” Delta Sigma Theta took first place at the event. Wilkins said the NPHC will meet to evaluate the event. “We did a lot this school year,” Wilkins said. “It’s time to start planning for next year.”
Trade products at CySwap or drop them off at The Workspace By Katlyn.Campbell @iowastatedaily.com With flowers blooming throughout campus, spring has officially sprung, meaning it’s now time to start spring cleaning. Rather than throwing away school supplies, clothes, furniture and hoarding textbooks unable to be bought back, there are a few alternatives that would reduce the amount of goods that go in landfills. The Workspace, Iowa State’s hub for arts and crafts activities, is used to repurposing products that are no longer available for their intended use. As a part of its philanthropy at the end of March, The Workspace teamed with Sole Hope, a non-profit organization that repurposes old jeans into shoes for people in Uganda to prevent the effects of foot-related diseases, most commonly jiggers. The Workspace also hosts an art supply swap
at the end of the academic year that allows people to bring in their unwanted craft items and trade for other people’s supplies. Letitia Kenemer, program coordinator at The Workspace, has a philosophy on repurposing anything she can and turning things into DIY projects. Another outlet for students to buy, sell and trade products is CySwap. CySwap, a student marketplace website, focuses on being the Craigslist for Iowa State students only. Aimed at connecting student buyers with student sellers, with a netID, the site offers access to goods on sale while allowing students to sell items such as textbooks, furniture, clothes, tickets and more. “The goal of it was to have something locked down to just the Iowa State community,” Scott Fisk, Student Government director of information technology, said. “… There’s a lot of textbooks that are custom editions for Iowa State University.”
Air Force commander advises ROTC cadets to ‘be a good person, that’s all you need’
In the military: ‘If they say go, you go’
By Talon.Delaney @iowastatedaily.com
By Emily.Schroer @iowastatedaily.com
Air Force ROTC cadets and their guests congregated at the Gateway Hotel conference hall to absorb the advice of a highly decorated serviceman and to recognize esteemed cadets Saturday evening. More than a dozen accolades were awarded by the night’s end, and Gen. John “Jay” Raymond presented a speech outlining the values of leadership and the importance of the United States Air Force. Raymond is not only a four-star general, the second highest rank achievable in military service, but is also the commander of the Air Force Space Command (AFSC). Raymond and the AFSC manage “missionready space and cyberspace forces” that can observe and strike with unprecedented precision. The night opened with a series of toasts. More than
200 glasses were raised to honor the commander in chief, U.S. troops deployed overseas and those who went to war and never came back. Raymond was ecstatic to have the honor of speaking at the Air Force ROTC Dining Out. He is an ROTC graduate from Clemson University in South Carolina. His two daughters, Christina and Amy, attend Iowa State. “There’s almost nothing you do in your day-today lives that doesn’t rely on U.S. space capabilities,” Raymond said, referring mainly to smart phone and GPS technologies. Raymond oversees a force of 38,000 space and cyberspace experts at 134 locations around the world. The AFSC tracks approximately 23,000 objects in Earth’s orbit from manned and unmanned satellites to debris as small as softballs. Raymond then shifted tones to discuss leadership. As a commander with 33

years of military experience and nearly 40,000 people working beneath him, he had much to say on the subject. “Be a good person, that’s all you need,” Raymond advised. To him, being thoughtful and understanding is essential to bringing out the best in those around you. He also urged listeners to never miss an opportunity to lead. Raymond then encouraged the audience to take responsibility for their actions and to always make the right decision, even if it’s the hardest. “Your integrity, nobody can take that from you,” Raymond said. “You can only give it away … and once you’ve done that you’re bankrupt as a leader.” After Raymond’s speech concluded, the awards ceremony began. The prestigious accommodations honored those ROTC cadets who exemplified loyalty, charisma and untiring dedication to the Air Force.
Some people wish nothing more than to travel and see the world. However, those who are committed to not only a spouse but to the military as well, often get little more than a few days notice to pack up their life and move across the country, or the world.

Nicolas Alvarado-Lopez in the U.S. Marine Corps Artillery Unit, said that over a six-month time frame, she went from a typical college student to prospective Marine wife. She was attending college in Springfield, Missouri, when she met Alvarado-Lopez, who was stationed in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.

Lopez received notice that he had two days to pack up and move to Hawaii. “In the military, if they say go, you go,” Hubbard said. Hubbard was not yet married to Alvarado-Lopez, so the military would not pay the fees for Hubbard to move to Hawaii. Hubbard stayed behind to sell her apartment and car, pack all of her belongings and transfer all of her classes online so she could accompany Alvarado-Lopez to Hawaii. “The hardest part is my family being thousands of miles away, and there is a five-hour time difference, so to talk to them is hard sometimes,” Hubbard said.

Harbor in Hawaii. After two years at Pearl Harbor, McCarthy’s family was transferred to Japan. McCarthy said that it was fun to live in different countries.

But it was somewhat of a struggle to learn how to drive on the other side of the road. “[Being transferred every two years], it wasn’t too bad for me,” McCarthy said. “The kids found friends and adjusted. The military has so many people with different cultures, and all the kids are just mashed together.” McCarthy said that her favorite place to live was in Japan. They lived across from the school, and she worked part time at a bank. They had friends in the neighborhood and they would attend football

Ames site focuses on helping animals find a home By Megan.Salo @iowastatedaily.com
rate, most animals are either reclaimed by their original owners or find new homes. “So it doesn’t matter how long Carlos stays with us,” he said, gesturing to the large cat sleeping across the room. “We would never consider euthanasia for time or space.” He said that the best part of working with the shelter is helping animals, especially older ones, find homes. “When someone comes in and looks at a 14-, 15- or even 16-year-old cat, you know that’s a really special person that will take in a senior pet because they don’t want [the pet] to have their final moments in an animal shelter,” he said. But with the positive side of watching animals find their forever homes also comes the negative side of animal control. “When we receive calls about animal cruelty, and we respond as we do for every call, and we find out that it’s legitimate, that’s the worst part,” Edwards said. Abbey Weimann, the shelter’s full-time animal control clerk, agreed. “I’m just constantly surprised at how people can discard their animals,” she said. “But many times it seems like after we find someone doing

He said he is on the downhill side of his career and didn’t want to retire in California, so when the position in Ames became available, he took it. “This facility had a great reputation for saving lives, and the shelter I started at had high euthanasia rates, so a lot of animals never made it out alive,” Edwards said. “What really attracted me to Ames was the high success of adoptions, and I’m proud to say we’ve increased that.” Edwards said the only two situations when euthanasia is ever used on an animal in the Ames Animal Shelter is if the animal has an extreme medical situation or severe behavioral issues. And even then, euthanasia is rare. With a 95 percent success
something poor to animals, someone comes in and does something amazing.” Weimann shared a story of two Chihuahuas and a cat that had been brought into the shelter by a woman who couldn’t find housing that would allow pets. The animals had formed a special bond after the cat had both of its eyes removed and relied on the dogs to act as its Seeing Eye dogs. Those working at the shelter didn’t expect anyone to take on the task of three new pets, but the trio was adopted after one week in the shelter. The shelter not only helps animals find homes but it also serves as a way for the community to get some quality animal time. “I grew up with a lot of animals back home, so it’s nice to be able to still interact with the animals even if they aren’t mine,” Iowa State junior Maddie Hora said. “It’s also a great way to de-stress during study breaks.” Edwards encourages everyone to visit the animals at the shelter, adopt if they can and educate themselves on how to humanely care for their pets. “They rely on us to take care of them, and that’s what we have to do,” Edwards said.

Columnist Sinclair argues that people who play video games don’t lock themselves in rooms to avoid the world, but instead interact with the world in a new way.
Game not over Video games provide education, improve social skills
By Issac.Sinclair @iowastatedaily.com
V
ideo games are fun. I have yet to meet anyone who hasn’t enjoyed playing video games, even if they aren’t particularly into video games. They allow people to relax and forget about their everyday stresses by indulging in an interactive fantasy. I can be a soldier in the middle of the jungle on a covert mission one minute, and then the world’s best soccer player scoring the game’s winning goal in the next. The versatility and the larger-than-life feeling that video games give the user are one of the biggest reasons they are so popular. From PCs to consoles, almost everyone indulges in some form of gaming on a regular basis, with 65 percent of U.S. households owning a device to play video games. With more than half of the country playing video games, it’s not surprising to imagine that this technology takes up a fair amount of our time and energy. I’ll be the first to agree that as a nation, we probably spend too much time playing video games. I do believe we should cut down on our time in front of all screens, but I look at video games through a slightly different lens. Given their interactive and engaging nature, video games can improve our social skills, education and simply be fun. The stereotype of a gamer is an awkward person, with poor social skills, who sits in a dark room all day with their eyes glued to the screen and their hands drilled into their controller, doing nothing but reaching the next level on whatever game they are playing. This is simply not the case for all gamers. Video games are an extremely social technology. Forty-eight percent of the most frequent gamers play social games. People aren’t playing games to avoid other people, they’re just discovering a new and unique way to interact with them. Sixty-five percent of teens play video games with other people who are in the room with them, which is an incredibly social situation. They must commu-
nicate and interact with one another, they have to problem solve quickly as a team and they compete with one another in the game. All these things develop healthy, real-world social skills. People aren’t locking themselves in rooms to avoid the world, they’re just interacting with it in a new way. One of these new ways is the integration of video games and education. Video games have the potential to actually engage students and improve their critical thinking skills. The Quest to Learn is a public school in New York that has completely integrated video games into its curriculum, designing the classrooms around missions and quests in video games that the students have to navigate through. It is aiming to innovate the way children are educated by involving every student, challenging them and helping students better understand the modern world they live in. It also teaches children how to design their own games, making the interaction with video games about understanding how the technology in their lives is developed. A school like this one, I believe, is an important part of the future of our education system. Video games in schools provide students with almost immediate feedback and make children more comfortable with the technology that dominates every aspect of their life. If this school proves successful, it could “provide a strong framework for inquiry and project-based learning” for the children who attend and change the way the nation views video games in schools. On top of all of these benefits, video games are simply fun. They provide us with adventures that are unlike anything we could ever experience in real life (for the most part). They engage our imagination and desire to do something bigger than ourselves. Video games are only going to get better looking, more interactive and more incredible as people’s love of gaming increases. Whatever negative stigma video games have had in the past needs to be erased from our minds as they continue to change and impact our lives in more significant ways.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I also had a negative experience with United By Mary Pei, Second-year graduate student in management information systems The Monday video of a United Airlines passenger being violently removed from his seat reminded me of my recent experience with United Airlines at the Des Moines airport, when I was also asked to leave by the security officer called upon by an agent of United Airlines. It happened on the early morning of Dec. 19. My husband, kid and I were going to Hong Kong to visit our families and we arrived at the airport two hours earlier than the departure time, 7:15 a.m. After waiting for more than an hour in line, I found that only a few people had successfully checked in and only one agent was working on that. And I had to say the agent was extremely slow.
I went up to ask her why it was so slow and whether we would be able to catch up the flight. She told me that three United agents called in sick that morning and they were in lack of staff. She also ensured me that the flight to Chicago that we were going to layover would wait for us, and no worries should I have. I believed her and went back to the line. By the time when it was getting close to 7:15 a.m., I went up to check with her again, and at that time two more agents showed up and started to speed up the check-in. She told me the flight had already gone and I should call United customer service to rebook everything by myself, and believe it or not, there was no apology. I asked her why the flight didn’t wait for us as she told us earlier, and I also told her it might be their responsibility to re-book my flight because they didn’t manage it well. She sim-
ply said no because they needed to serve other customers. I kept asking her to help me re-book the flight, but she said she needed to serve other people in line, and then she picked up the phone to call the security over. Please notice that there was no quarrel or argument. I was calm and polite to try to get help from her, and the agent appeared calm too. I quickly left the counter when a security officer showed up and asked me to leave. Luckily the officer at the Des Moines Airport was polite and nice and didn’t drag me off or beat me. I then spent more than an hour on my cellphone with the United customer service, and our flights were re-booked to two days later. After hearing my complaint against the service at Des Moines Airport, the United customer service said coldly: “You should’ve arrived at the airport earlier to avoid this
situation.” As if it’s all my fault. I couldn’t help wondering: Since when did calling police force become the airlines’ convenient means to serve them in resolving disputes with customers? When officers come, shouldn’t they listen to us — the individual tax payers and customer who pay for the service — rather than just listening to the airline agents and executing by their orders? By the way, I was finally offered a $100 Electronic Travel Certificate for all the inconveniences caused by re-booking after writing a letter of complaint to United Customer Care. My two days’ delay, taxi fares and cancelled meetings with my families all were just worth a $100 Electronic Travel Certificate per United Airlines. This is all you can get from a business with security officers standing behind flexing muscles in this civilized country.
Leopold gutting unfair to farmers Has the Iowa Legislature lost its mind? Has it forgone all reason and logic in the final weeks of its session? We ask these questions because it is purely idiotic to think that cutting funding from the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture here at Iowa State University is in any way, shape or form a good idea. House and Senate Republicans proposed the budget that guts funding from the Leopold Center last week. Furthermore, the language in the bill directs the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences to begin shutting down the Leopold Center permanently. The Leopold Center is a nationally recognized leader in sustainable agriculture that funds research and outreach projects around the state. Information gathered and disseminated from the Leopold Center has helped Iowa farmers and land owners improve the way they operate and manage our local natural resources. However, according to legislatures in the House and Senate, the state of Iowa is doing just fine with its management of our soil and water quality. Apparently, we don’t have environmental quality issues and our farmers and land owners know everything they need to. It is beyond foolish to think that shutting down a decades-old research center that contributes to the progress of Iowa’s backbone of industry is a good idea. This outrageous proposal by Iowa Republicans directly contradicts Iowa’s core values of community and education by eliminating muchneeded research that improves the quality of life of all Iowans. With this budget cut, lawmakers are saying that farmers don’t deserve the latest information and technology that is needed for them to produce a sustainable harvest. Here is an alternative to the senators and representatives in Des Moines this week. Instead of cutting funding for much-needed research institutes, we provide them with the tools they need so that they may continue improving Iowa’s great landscape. If you need help finding some extra money in the budget, we suggest scrapping the unnecessary voter ID bill that will cost the state hundreds of thousands of dollars. The people of Iowa deserve better. Our farmers, researchers and students deserve highly regarded institutions that are on the cutting edge of new technology and information that will benefit our state and nation. Contact your local representatives today and let them know that you will not stand to see the Leopold Center go. Tell them you will not support such an egregious act against our environment and farmers.

POLLARD p1 to become a head coach was an offer she couldn’t pass up. Fennelly and Johnson-Lynch were both at Iowa State when Pollard was hired, which can be stressful when a new guy is hired in athletics administration. Johnson-Lynch remembered she was a little worried about the new guy in the office because things can change quickly in athletics and coaching, but Pollard’s name was familiar. He had worked in athletics administration at Wisconsin, Maryland and St. Louis. “For me personally, there was a reassurance because I knew him at Wisconsin a little bit and had somewhat of a relationship with him there,” Johnson-Lynch said. “That’s unusual, to have someone come in that you know a little bit.” But that was the “old school way,” as Fennelly described it. Search firms and search committees have become the norm in hiring collegiate coaches in recent years. A search firm is an independent company used when hiring big names. They are used for many reasons. “No. 1 is I want to be 100 percent focused on evaluating the candidate,” Pollard said. “I don’t want to spend any time on the logistics of the candidate. No. 2 is in those situations, especially in football and basketball, you’re dealing with such big numbers and high stakes that there’s people playing people.” Pollard said some agents like to put their coach’s names out there when the coach really isn’t interested so the coach can use job offers as leverage at their current school. Pollard also said search firms maneuver behind the scenes. They have a pretty good pulse at who is moveable and who isn’t. “Because there [are] things that happen that just from a personnel standpoint I can’t call and ask somebody, because legally they can’t tell me,” Pollard said. “But search firms find a way to figure all that stuff out. So they can give you some intelligence that you just can’t get at.” Pollard believes the cost behind using a search firm is invaluable. “Right now the large search firms, the good ones, for football and basketball, you’re probably doing $75,000 to $100,000 a search,” Pollard said. Both men’s basketball coach Steve Prohm and football coach Matt Campbell were hired using search firms. A search committee, on the other hand, is made of people locally, usually administration or other university officials. These people help evaluate candidates and sit in on the interviews. Softball coach Jamie Trachsel was hired using a search committee. Trachsel spent many years moving up in North Dakota State University’s softball program and was a co-head coach for the last six years. She received a call from Calli Sanders in the sports administration department inviting Trachsel to visit campus. “For me to leave a place that I love and was very happy and successful at was to try to go build a top-20 program,” Trachsel said. “I thought I could do that here.”

Dresser knew of the open posi- than he was talking to me.” Dresser was also impressed with tion once news spread that Jackson was stepping down. While Dresser was in the middle of coaching his team at Virginia Tech, the thought of the position stayed in the back of his head. Iowa State reached out to Dresser to see if he was interested, and when the school found out he was, Pollard conducted a phone interview and then booked a trip to Blacksburg, Virginia. Pollard brought along Campbell, who was hired in 2016 while bringing Toledo to national heights, with him to offer Dresser Bill Fennelly the position. WOMEN’S BASKETBALL COACH It was an unusual way to sway a coach to a position, but it worked. Campbell helped confirm all of the selling points Pollard said about Iowa how welcoming other Iowa State coaches were to his acceptance of State and Ames. He also helped Dresser work the position. “I think I got text messages from through the kinks that come with leaving a program while it is at a high four or five of the head coaches,” Dresser said. “Either right before the point, as Campbell did with Toledo. “I think Jamie Pollard is an innova- [announcement] press confer Johnson-Lynch also said she feels tor,” Dresser said. “I like to think I’m a guy that thinks out of the box and so to very comfortable talking to every me, that was an out of the box move.

Women’s athletics are often less recognized than men’s sports, but that doesn’t seem to be the case at Iowa State. Fennelly and Prohm’s coaching contracts were both recently extended through 2022. Prohm earned a pay raise to a $2 million annual salary. But it was how the university announced it that struck Fennelly. Iowa State broke the contract extensions news in the same press release. Fennelly felt that was unique. “Who does that?” Fennelly said. “Nobody. ... Nobody ever gives the women’s coach that kind of attention with the men’s coach. I think that’s a little bit of forward thinking ... I think that’s how Jamie thinks.” Johnson-Lynch believes the fan base for women’s sports is unique as well. In the 2015-16 season, Iowa State women’s basketball drew an average of 9,833 fans, third most in the NCAA. The Cyclones only trailed UConn and Tennessee. In 2016 volleyball drew an average of 2,426 fans, 11th most in the nation. Pollard’s office overlooks the third largest football stadium in the Big 12 Conference and is adorned with many Iowa State knickknacks. “Iowa State is lucky [Pollard] is still here,” said Fennelly, who has been at Iowa State through three athletic directors. “He’s got the pedigree, he’s got it. A lot of people don’t have it, he’s got it … he’s a good fit. He’s big time.” Fennelly also has seen six different men’s basketball coaches, and noted that all six of them have been gracious to him and the team. “I think it speaks to what Iowa State is about,” Fennelly said. “Iowa State has done a really good job in my little

part of the world of bringing people in who understand. I call it the Iowa State Way.” The Iowa State Way seems to be accepted into every athletic program at the university. “I think it’s one of the great things about our athletic program,” JohnsonLynch said. “From the top down, there’s just a really clear vision of what we’re about, what our ethics and what we believe in, and also facilities and where we are headed.” Pollard described the Iowa State culture as something that doesn’t fit everyone, and used the last coaching hire as an example. “We were coming off of coach [Fred] Hoiberg, who was somebody that was seen as cerebral,” Pollard said. “[He] didn’t curse, just was kind of an all-American kind of image. There are a lot of good coaches out there that are great, successful coaches but they aren’t that. “They’re very loud, very demonstrative.” Pollard felt that if they were to hire a coach like that, it could have short– circuited the culture the men’s basketball program and Iowa State had built. Pollard also said he looks for people who can handle the local fame of being a coach in Ames. Since Ames isn’t a metropolis, people will recognize coaches at grocery stores and restaurants. “You have to be willing to sell yourself, your coaching staff, the relationships [with] the people here, which I do think are special,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Small college towns are the best places to go to school, so you’ve got to be ready to sell that ... and OK with not having the No. 1 budget in the conference.” Everywhere you look, a family atmosphere is being sold. “The people here come to Iowa State with an understanding of this is a team — a family,” Fennelly said.

ISU continues to improve By Andy.Stubblefield @iowastatedaily.com
Chris Jorgensen/Iowa State Daily
Iowa State sophomore Hali Hillegas reacts to a serve against Northern Iowa on Saturday at Hilton Coliseum.
Improvement is the name of the game during the spring season and the Iowa State volleyball team certainly showed it has gotten better in the second tournament of the spring season. “[We played] a ton better than last weekend,” coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said. “I was encouraged to see every part of our game get a lot better.” The Cyclones dropped five of the eight sets they played at the UNI Spring Tournament a week before hosting the Iowa State Spring Tournament Saturday. Iowa State dropped only one set the entire day inside Hilton Coliseum. “I think compared to last weekend we are definitely meshing better as a team,” freshman setter Piper Mauck said. “Overall, we were better and more consistent.” The Cyclones began their day against Omaha. Set one began with several lead changes and ties before the Cyclones pulled away to take it, 25-17. Hali Hillegas and the rest of the back-line
held Omaha to a .043 hitting percentage in the first set. Set two was more onesided in favor of the Cyclones, as they took the set, 25-14 while recording 20 kills with a .515 hitting percentage. Iowa State completed a sweep of Omaha with a 1513 win in set three. “I think everyone was just playing relaxed and being aggressive,” senior Alexis Conaway said. In match two of the day, the Cyclones rolled to a 2515 win over North Dakota in set one. Iowa State fell behind 3-0 in set two against the Fighting Hawks before storming back to take a 8-4 lead. Defense aided the Cyclones, as they held North Dakota to a .000 percentage in the set and went on to win, 25-18. The Cyclones completed their second straight sweep after taking set three, 15-10, once again holding North Dakota to a .000 hitting percentage. The final match of the day pitted Iowa State against instate rival Northern Iowa. In set one, it was Iowa State that held UNI to a .021 hitting percentage, which allowed it to take a 25-20 over the Panthers. Set two was all Cyclones
at the beginning, as they jumped out to a 17-9 lead over the Panthers. UNI was able to claw back to make the score 19-16. “[UNI] started playing a lot better,” Johnson-Lynch said. “They started blocking some balls and hitting some balls and we started playing worse.” “I think we got kind of quiet and deflated when they started coming back.” Iowa State extended its lead back to 22-16, but the Panthers scored nine of the final ten points to down the Cyclones, 25-23. Iowa State and UNI would play just two sets in the match. “I think mentally we just relaxed,” Conaway said. “It just goes to show that any team can play if you give them the chance.” Iowa State has two remaining matchups this spring against Wisconsin and Minnesota. The Cyclones’ match with the Badgers is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday in Manchester, Iowa. Iowa State and Minnesota will face off 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Minneapolis. “We have two very, very good teams that we’re going to play Friday, Saturday so we’ll have to play up even another level next week,” Johnson-Lynch said.
Iowa State gymnast Haylee Young finishes with 39.1875 score at National Championship By Austin.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com Haylee Young finished her junior season with an all-around score of 39.1875 at the NCAA Gymnastics National Championship in St. Louis. Young competed alongside Oregon State on Friday afternoon, beginning on the floor exercise. Young started the meet with her best score of the day, a 9.875, tying her for 30th out of
84 competitors. She finished 60th out of 86 on the next rotation, the vault, where she recorded a 9.775. After a break for Young and Oregon State, Young had a slight hop on her dismount, giving her a 9.725 on the uneven bars and a 76th place finish out of 86. On her last rotation, Young finished the meet in 56th out 87 with a 9.8125 on the balance beam. Young’s final all-around score, 39.1875, was good for 27th in the all-
around competition. The top eight scores in each event were awarded first team All-America honors, and the next eight scores were awarded second team honors. Oklahoma, led by former Iowa State gymnastics head coach K.J. Kindler, won the National Championship on Saturday. Young was the only Cyclone to compete at nationals for an Iowa State team that returns everybody from 2017.

Softball snaps skid By Tara.Larson @iowastatedaily.com Persistency led the Cyclone softball team to something it had been missing for weeks: a victory. After weeks of losing and facing tough opponents, the Cyclones (16-30, Big 12 1-11) took away a win on Saturday when they beat the Oklahoma State Cowgirls (28-16, 8-1 Big 12) 10-9 at the Cyclone Sports Complex in Ames. This not only ended a 14-game losing streak, but brought in the first conference win of the season. This game also was the first time the Cyclones won at home this season, but they have played a mere six games total at the Cyclone Sports Complex. “Winning is great,” head coach Jamie Trachsel said. “We didn’t lose confidence, and to be honest, I thought that was actually the biggest key to our success.” The first two games of the three-game series did not end in Iowa State’s favor. The double-header on Friday ended in wins for Oklahoma State, which won the first game 10-2 and the second 11-3. The Cowgirls began each game striking first. After a bit of rallying back and forth, Oklahoma State led 6-2 toward the end of the game. The Cowgirls earned four more runs in the final inning of the first game, bringing the final score up to 10-2. The next game had a similar result. The Cowgirls started out the game with a home run. Again, the Cyclones attempted to fight back, but were unsuccessful. The final score was 11-3. The final game of the series ended much differently than the first two. Just as the first two started,

the Cowgirls earned the first runs of the game. However, the Cyclones’ first batter, freshman Sami Williams, smoked a home run in the first inning to get Iowa State on the board. The Cyclones and the Cowgirls continued to battle, but the Cyclones fell behind. That changed in the fifth inning. After senior Cathlin Bingham hit an RBI triple, she raced through home when freshman Sami Williams hit an RBI single. Then, junior Kelsey McFarland smacked a home run, giving the Cyclones a 7-4 lead. “It’s important that when we do have those high moments, we thrive off of them instead of shutting down, and just continuing to be fearless and use the intensity as an advantage,” Bingham said. But with two outs in the next inning, the Cowgirls racked up five runs. The Cyclones managed to earn two runs in the bottom of the inning to tie the score up. Ending innings has been a
problem for Iowa State in the past. And it was a problem again, when Oklahoma State scored those five runs with two outs. Trachsel said the problems Saturday came on the defensive side of the ball. “I think it was more defensively today,” Trachsel said. “I thought our pitchers did a great job. We made some adjustments after the first two games with our positioning.” Pitcher Savannah Sanders held the Cowgirls from scoring in the seventh inning. When the Cyclones moved to offense in the bottom of the inning, freshman Megan Schweitzer made it to third base and stole home for a walk-off victory. The Cyclones had won their first conference game and handed the Cowgirls their first conference loss. “I think that Kelsey’s home run really got us moving,” Schweitzer said. “I think a couple of times, we’re just missing that key hit that excites us with energy. It’s nice to see all of our hard work pay off.”

We just had to deal with whatever is thrown at us.” Mary Ann Lundy, who is married to retired Maj. Paul Lundy, spent 1967 through 1969 in Germany, where her husband was stationed. When Paul Lundy was drafted into the military because of the Vietnam War, the family was not allowed to live on base because he was not a career officer. Lundy recalls having her husband gone for six weeks at a time. He was sent to guard the boarder. While her husband was gone she remembers how
she and some of the other wives would sometimes go and travel. “I used to always say it was three wives, two children and a Volkswagen heading Tuscany,” Mary Lundy said. Paul Lundy spent two years in active duty and then finished the next 18 in the reserves. This meant that when the Lundys moved back to Iowa, Paul Lundy commuted from Ames to Chicago on weekends. Now having just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, Mary Lundy thinks about how it was a great two years of her life spent in Germany. “If you would have told me when I was living in Ames, Iowa, that I was going to be living in Hawaii, I would have laughed,” Hubbard said.

DESIGN p1 chosen to compete with North Dakota State University and the University of Wisconsin. In order to study their assigned regions, the junior architecture students traveled to New York, Texas and California. “Our trip to San Francisco was at the beginning of February,” Evan Harrison, junior in architecture, said. “We went to research the fog condition that are a daily occurrence, as well gain site context and experience the wonderful city.” Harrison and his partner, Jeff Klynsma, traveled to San Francisco as part of their research process to the final model. They collaborated to create the “Fog Funnel,” which attempts to solve two environmental issues, water shortage and coastal retreat in the San Francisco Knob Hill neighborhood. “A lot of the challenge in any design is making things work together in a holistic sense,” Harri-
son said. “For our project in specific, we had a difficult time creating a form that fit on the site and with the right context. This was especially hard for us as we had to also consider how this would affect our fogharvesting mesh on the façade.” The “Fog Funnel” is a dual-story apartment that incorporates meshlike copper wires as treatment to the foggy neighborhood. The mesh wires trap the fog and transforms it into water used to take care of potted plants stored in the building. Harrison and Klynsma installed a nutrition bar in the complex to serve as a commercial space for fruits and vegetables from the plants. Like his peers, Harrison views the challenge as a learning experience, preparing him for his career. “BWBR offers a cash prize reward,” Harrison said. “Ultimately, however, the professional feedback that we get from the firm reviewers is the best part of the competition.”
