Iowa State NROTC unit dismisses midshipman after accusations By Michael.Heckle and Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com An Iowa State student has been dismissed from the university’s Naval ROTC program after an altercation in July during which he said he was physically and sexually assaulted. The student, whose name has been redacted because of the Iowa State Daily’s policy to not reveal names of sexual

assault victims, said he was assaulted at a family celebration on July 4, 2016 by a high school acquaintance. His dismissal follows two Performance Review Board (PRB) sessions in which the board concluded that because of an integrity violation on the fault of the student – because he lied to his superior officers about the specificity of his injuries – he should be dismissed from the program. According to documents ob-

tained by the Iowa State Daily, the student “possessed many of the attributes” desired in a Marine Corps officer candidate and he is “reliable, disciplined, intelligent and physically fit,” Capt. Scott Curtis, commanding officer of the NROTC unit, wrote in a letter to the Commander of the Naval Science Training Command recommending the student’s disenrollment from the program. “If not for questions regarding his character and integrity

associated with the events that led him to this board, he would serve as a superb example to aspiring Marines in the Iowa State NROTC,” Curtis wrote. The student, because of his dismissal from the program, is required to pay back 2.5 years of out-of-state tuition and stipends. The university has launched an investigation into the incident. The student said he was sexually and physically assaulted

on July 4, 2016 after a family gathering in which alcohol was consumed underage. He said his high school acquaintance, 19, had been rubbing his genitals and inner legs with a beer bottle against his wishes. Pushing the acquaintance away, the student was then hit on the head with a glass bottle. According to a Nebraska police report after the incident oc-

With Gov. Terry Branstad’s approval, texting while driving will become a primary offense in Iowa on July 1, 2017.

Branstad signs laws against texting, drinking while driving By Emily.Hammer @iowastatedaily.com Texting while driving will become a primary offense in Iowa on July 1, 2017, under one of two pieces of legislation Gov. Terry Branstad signed into law Monday, according to the Des Monies Register. Phone usage was previously considered a secondary offense, meaning officers needed another reason to stop a driver. Under the new law, officers will now be able to pull over drivers they suspect of using their phone while behind the wheel, including “writing, sending or viewing an electronic message,” according to Senate File 234. Included in offendable phone usage is using the internet, social media, a game and some email functions. The legislation allows for use of voice-operated and hands-free devices that can write, send and view electronic messages and only require hand usage to activate or deactivate the device. Branstand also signed Senate File 444, which, in the case of homicide-by-vehicle, would allow a person’s use of a cellphone while driving to be entered into evidence as reckless driving. This would allow offenders to be charged with a Class C felony and receive up to 10 years of jail time as well as a $10,000 fine. Maggy McGary, freshman in history, sees the new law in a positive light, and said she’s happy about it. McGary’s passion for the legislation comes from personal experience. One of her friends has been the victim of three hit-and-runs, with at least one resulting from texting and driving. The other legislation that Branstad signed into law Monday adds a new punishment for drivers arrested or convicted of driving while intoxicated. Following a similar South Dakota program in 2005 that saw a decrease in alcohol-related fatalities, Iowa’s initiative will require arrested or convicted drivers to abstain from alcohol and controlled substances for a certain period of time and report for Breathalyzer tests twice a day. Tests will be administrated at a centralized location. For those who are geographically unable to make it or if testing creates a documented hardship, an approved alternative method will be applied. Those who fail may face up to 24 hours in jail. The new pieces of legislation, which are both supported across the political spectrum, come after Branstad mentioned in January the rising number of fatalities on Iowa roads due to driver impairment such as texting and drinking while driving. “Together, these two bills, which passed with strong bipartisan support, will make an impact on improving highway safety in our state,” he said Monday.

ISU Theatre production flips gender roles By Hollie.Schlesselman @iowastatedaily.com ISU Theatre’s version of The Tempest may be a bit different from the way Shakespeare intended his play to be told. Instead, Director Amanda Petefish-Schrag decided to tell the story of The Tempest through her own viewpoint – she cast women as major characters compared to Shakespeare’s, replacing roles previously played by men. The Tempest, which will debut Thursday at 7:30 p.m. and run periodically throughout the weekend at Fischer Theatre, is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1610 or 1611. “The Tempest, from a plot perspective, is the story of a woman [Prospero],” Petefish-Schrag, assistant professor in the theatre department, said. [She] has had her title stolen from her in a plot set several years prior to the events of this play, during which her sister [Antonio] sort of conspired against her to take away her dukedom.” Prospero had been Duke of Milan, but her sisters and others had overthrown her and banished her to an island after she pursued to learn about magic. The play begins after Prospero, along with her magical servant Ariel, has formed the “perfect storm,” or tempest, to bring her sister to the island she was forced to when

Student-athletes highlighted By Jake.Dalbey @iowastatedaily.com Athletics were featured prominently during Tuesday’s Faculty Senate meeting in order to report on the successes of the “student” within a student-athlete, specifically graduation trends. Tim Day, faculty athletics representative and presidentelect of the Faculty Senate, presented on the positive data trends that summarize student-athlete education statistics in 2016. When compared to standard university students, who on average held a 2.99 GPA in the fall and a 2.97 GPA in the spring, student-athletes were able to hold a higher average GPA of 3.04 in the fall and 2.99 in the spring.

Discussion on MU improvements to be held during StuGov meeting By Allison.Weaver @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State students voted against increasing student fees to improve the Memorial Union, but the Student Government may consider supporting the increase. In the March Student Government elections, 61.98 percent of participating students voted against increasing student fees to fund part of the Memorial Union renovation and expansion. Student Government, however, will discuss a resolution, proposed by Sen. Connor Theisen, on Wednesday that will, if passed, express Student Government’s support of a student fee increase that will go toward “deferred maintenance and unoccupied space in the Memorial Union” to administration. About $26 million of maintenance issues in the Memorial Union remain

unresolved due to the lack of sufficient funding, and the upper levels of the building may become vacant in the coming years, rendering the space useless unless re-purposed, according to the resolution. The resolution states that “the Memorial Union was built from over one million dollars in pledges made by students, and as the creators of the building, we recognize that we, as students, are also responsible for its maintenance.” “After 89 years, it needs improvements,” Corey Williamson, interim director of the Memorial Union, said. The resolution will be discussed and voted on during Wednesday’s Student Government meeting at 7 p.m. in the Campanile Room of the Memorial Union. All students are welcomed to speak and share their comments, questions and concerns during the open forum section of the agenda.

Union Pacific CEO discusses trade Fritz vouches for NAFTA, activism

By Alli.Weaver @iowastatedaily.com Half of all acres in Iowa are planted for international export and trade, Lance Fritz, chairman, president and CEO for Union Pacific, said. Fritz shared his thoughts on the importance of international trade with about 50 lecture attendees, students, staff and faculty Tuesday morning as part of the College of Business CEO speaker series. “This lecture series is meant to give our students the chance to learn from today’s business leaders,” said David Spalding, Raisbeck Endowed Dean of the College of Business and professor of finance. The North American Free Trade Agreement, an international trade agreement among the United States, Canada and Mexico, is being reconsidered

by the federal government. “It’s a very polarizing concept in today’s world,” Fritz said. Since the creation of NAFTA in 1994, trade among the three countries has quadrupled, allowing for economic growth, Fritz said. “NAFTA’s not a bad thing,” Fritz said. “NAFTA is a very, very good thing.” Union Pacific controls the railroad franchise in 23 states, serving 44,000 people and owning 32,000 miles of railroad tracks across the country. Fritz said 40 percent of all Union Pacific business is in international trade. About 108 Iowa State alumni are employed with Union Pacific, and many projects and events at Iowa State are sponsored by Union Pacific. Fritz said trade increases this job availability and investment opportunities, including for Iowa State students. Fritz said that it is the duty of all citizens to stand up and drive the dialogue for concerning political issues. “We, as citizens, are a

little apathetic about politics, and we can’t be,” Fritz said. “We have to be more active.” Fritz said the media also

plays a role in driving a predetermined message and that people can’t believe everything they read. Fritz advised the audi-

ence to be wary of those things but also to bring forth solutions and not be afraid of taking on difficult tasks.

Quoting Abraham Lincoln, Fritz said, “If you want to predict the future, the best way is to create the future.”

Freedom Sings educates through music By Tristan.Wade @iowastatedaily.com Freedom Sings has discovered a unique way to teach people about the history of the First Amendment — through music. “We tell the story of free speech through songs, simply,” Ken Paulson, narrator and author of the show, said. Paulson is also president of the First Amendment Center.

Freedom Sings will be in the Ames City Auditorium at 7 p.m. Wednesday to help Iowa State and the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication celebrate First Amendment Day. The show will feature music of all genres, including The Beatles, Beyoncé, The Black Eyed Peas and Little Big Town. Freedom Sings often plays songs that were extremely censored or even banned from the radio because of the lyrics. “You’ll hear a song from the ‘50s

that was banned and laugh because it’s ridiculous,” Paulson said. Freedom Sings features many talented musicians, including Bill Lloyd, successful guitarist and country music writer; Joseph Wooten, three-time Grammy winner and former keyboardist for the Steve Miller Band; and many others. Paulson has written each Freedom Sings show since they began in 1999. He rewrites each show and makes sure to keep relevant music

and free speech topics included in the program. “We were looking for a way to inform others about the history of free speech, and music is easy to integrate with learning,” Paulson said. Paulson is also the dean of the College of Media and Entertainment at Middle Tennessee State University. Through teaching the history of free speech in Freedom Sings, Paulson hopes to keep people en-

gaged and make them care about their rights. Paulson said Freedom Sings can best be described as a “musical lecture,” but you really don’t know what it is until you see it. “Almost always we’re met with standing ovations, often people come up to me after shows and say, ‘I wish I would’ve brought my roommate or my friends,’” Paulson said. “It’s funny, it’s informative, it’s full of talent... It’s unlike anything else you’ll see.”

curred, the student went to the hospital in need of several stitches to his face. The alleged perpetrator, according to the report, said that he instead hit the student over the head in self defense, however, after the student assaulted him for no reason. At the hospital, the student neglected to cooperate with police or pursue charges. As defined under military rules, inappropriate touching is considered sexual assault. The student did not initially tell the NROTC program about the assault after it occurred, and instead said his injuries were the result of a workrelated incident out of embarrassment of being sexually assaulted.

This is something Curtis, according to the letter, believes to be false as the NROTC suggested the assault was being used to deflect responsibility for underage drinking and the fight that occurred. “That being said, it is my judgement that the alleged sexual assault testimony is being used by [the student’s attorney] in an attempt to exploit a highly sensitive issue to deflect accountability [for the student’s] actions,” Curtis wrote. Integrity, as defined by the leadership traits listed in the NROTC policy manual is, “when you give your word, keep it.” The student had faced previous discipline for underage drinking by the NROTC unit after a public intoxication citation in the fall 2015. However,

his probation was lifted by the previous commanding officer on May 10, 2016 – 54 days before the incident on July 4. The student, according to documents, said that he first told the NROTC unit about the incident during a meeting in August 2016 with Cpt. Suzanne Mulet on Aug. 22, 2016 where she confronted him about the validity of his story as the unit had launched a review after receiving a call about the initial incident from the sheriff’s office. Questioning the student’s integrity, Mulet, according to documents, told the student that “since he lied, he would get a PRB.” Sean Timmons, the student’s attorney with Tully Rinckey PLLC based out of Albany, New York, said his client is still pending a disposition from the Marine Corps Recruiting Command, and that they

are hopeful “the exposure of Iowa State’s [NROTC] numerous issues will result in relief for our client.” “My client was a victim of a male-on-male sexual assault, which they pretty much laughed at when he reported it,” Timmons said. “Their narrative of the story... is that he simply was involved in a alcohol-induced fight. There’s no evidence to support that.” Curtis said that he, nor any members of his staff, is authorized to comment on the matter. The allegations come just two weeks after seven NROTC midshipmen faced disciplinary action for posting explicit photographs on social medai. The photographs were posted on the Facebook page for a student group with ties to the NROTC called the Glorious Order of the Sextant, according to The Associated Press.

‘13 Reasons Why’ Courtesy of Getty Images

Columnist Spanbauer argues that those experiencing problems with depression and suicidal ideations should seek help instead of dealing with the burden alone.

Netflix’s latest hit addresses hot-button topics not usually discussed in modern TV By Peyton.Spanbauer @iowastatedaily.com Ninety-four people will have committed suicide by the end of the day. However troubling and horrible this statistic may be — it’s true. And it’s the reality of the world we live in today. Netflix’s latest hit, “13 Reasons Why,” addresses some hot-button topics that aren’t normally tackled so head-on by other TV shows. In case you haven’t yet indulged in the new series, it’s about a young girl who fatefully chose suicide as an end to all the struggles in her life. Bringing to light the power and severity of these situations is something that I believe is necessary for viewers today. We treat each other poorly on a daily basis and it makes binge-watchers of the show look inward at what they’re doing and how they’re affecting others in their own lives. Somewhat concerning to me is how suicide hasn’t been heavily addressed in popular media until now. However grave the situation of suicide is, it’s something that happens in our world. Not previously

having conversations about it, even in a television show, has kept people from knowing how to start conversations about it. The reality of the matter is that we have seen a rise in the rates of suicide since 1999. It has also become the third-leading cause of death for people ages 15 to 24. Conversations about suicide need to take place, no matter how uncomfortable they may be. The problem that people suffering from suicidal ideations face, and the difficult part that those not suffering can’t understand, is that it is extremely challenging for someone to seek help. People going through depression and dealing with suicidal thoughts often believe that they are alone in the world with no one to turn to. They also have a misconception that they are burdensome to others and their life only causes problems for those around them. Therefore, they feel as if they have no one to talk to, and rather than ask for help, it would be easier to be asked if they need help. What those suffering don’t realize is that for every suicide, there are at least six people directly impacted by that loss. So no, you are not alone. Suicide does not end problems, it only creates them in the lives of the ones you love. In the TV show “13 Reasons Why,” viewers are shown how day in and day out, the lead character, Hannah Baker, is affected by the actions of those around her. From being the target of a school-wide joke to becoming a sexual object in the eyes of her

classmates, even small misfortunes begin to turn Baker toward suicide. While painful to watch at some parts, this show does an incredible job at opening people’s eyes to the realness of the situation at hand. It takes watchers to a place of discomfort and vulnerability, just as Baker seals her fate. It depicts to people the hardships that those around must go through without her — the pain her parents must go through every day. I hope people who are feeling alone and thinking that there’s an “easy way out” feel discouraged from suicide after watching the series. Suicide is forever. It’s not glamorous, it’s not poetic. It’s sad. Those experiencing problems with depression and suicidal ideations should seek help instead of dealing with the burden alone. Seeking help isn’t a sign of weakness but a sign of strength that you are able to notice that you cannot go it alone. Whether it’s a parent, a friend or a professional that you confide in, getting help is the strongest solution of all. And to those who are confided in: believe them. Believe what they are saying, even if you cannot understand. Recognize the severity of the situation at hand and help them get help. Make them feel needed, as if they have someone in their corner. Suicide is a dark and sad fate that no one should choose. And it’s 100 percent preventable so long as we look out for the ones around us.

EDITORIAL

United Airlines incident sends message to industry Last week, a video of a United Airlines staff member dragging a seated passenger out of his seat went viral. The airline company had an overbooked flight in which it needed four seats for its off-duty crew members. The passengers were asked to give up their seats, but none of them volunteered to do so. United then randomly chose the four passengers whose seats were to be taken. David Dao was one of the four chosen passengers, and he refused to give up his seat. The company then used force to pull Dao up and drag him off the airplane. Dao was injured in the confrontation. The incident was so disturbing that it triggered outrage not only in the United States but all around the world. United’s mishandling of the incident raised questions and concerns regarding customer service in the airline industry. The incident and the public reaction to it sent an important message to companies: Mistreatment and low-quality customer service can no longer be hidden, and public anger can cause huge harm to the company and its value in stock. In the age of accessible smartphones and social media networks, it is so easy to record and film such incidents. It is also easy to spread them around because they are so newsworthy. Recent incidents brought this issue back to light. Have companies stopped caring about their customers? Perhaps some companies began to prioritize accessibility and price over

The ISD Editorial Board argues that the United Airlines incident sends a strong message to the airline industry to better build trust with its customers and to remain focused on customer service.

decent customer service. With the variety and huge number of options in every field and industry, good customer service is a necessity for any company to survive in the market. People often prefer doing business with one company and staying loyal to it, but if they do not have a strong reason to remain customers for that company, they will go to another. Companies need to build trust with their customers, and that comes from taking care of the customers themselves. Moreover,

most people would prefer good service over cheap price if they had to choose. It is true that people look for affordable service, but that does not compensate for poor quality. In this era, you can easily watch a video of a company mistreating its customers while you are thousands of miles away. The United Airlines incident came as a reminder to all companies for the importance of customer service. And some already reacted to the incident by improving their standards.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Support the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture Andrea Basche, Ph.D., ISU Alum; Angie Carter, Ph.D., ISU Alum; Carrie Chenault, Ph.D. student, ISU; Maritza Pierre, ISU student; David Weisberger, ISU student

The Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture is a sound investment for all Iowans, which has so many questioning why it is on the chopping block. Over the last 30 years, the Leopold Center has been a leader in agricultural systems research. As a transparent granting agency, it serves all Iowans. It funds and promotes studies on row crop and ani-

mal agricultural, water quality and local food distribution, access and marketing, among others. The Center’s broad support and appeal have inspired farmers, communities, students and researchers alike to generate sustainable solutions for a stronger and healthier Iowa. Now more than ever we need cooperation among diverse stakeholders around complex issues. The Leopold Center’s research and programming contributes to the betterment of all Iowans, regardless of political persuasion or geographic location. Its pioneering work on soil erosion and water

quality keeps soil and nutrients where they need to be, and water clean — goals essential to all Iowans. We should be celebrating and continuing our support of the Leopold Center, not abandoning our statewide commitment to it. Let us all remember Leopold, the center’s namesake and Iowa’s native son. Leopold described Iowa not as a food factory but as a living, working landscape in which farmers and citizens share in the abundance of its natural richness. The gift of fertile soils and fresh water can continue to shape the prosperity of the state. Yet seemingly overnight, a small group of politicians decided on the fate of

a state-cherished, nationally recognized research institution without consulting the farmers, communities, students and researchers who rely upon the Center as a key partner. This partisan politicking denigrates the spirit of Leopold himself and makes the shared goal of safeguarding our landscape for this and future generations less possible by the day. We encourage you to stand up for the Leopold Center’s future. Call your local legislator today. For more information about the center and lending your support, visit Iowa Sustainable Agriculture’s website.

Cy-Hawk football game extended through 2023 By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State and Iowa’s annual rivalry football matchup isn’t going away

— at least not in the next few years. Iowa State Athletic Director Jamie Pollard and Iowa Athletic Director Gary Barta announced the CyHawk football game has

been extended through 2023. The amendment stretches the contract by two years, from 2021. Keeping in order with alternating hosts every year,

the Cyclones will travel to Kinnick Stadium in 2022, and in 2023, the Hawkeyes will come to Ames. The Cy-Hawk series went through a 43-year hiatus but was renewed in 1977.

Iowa has a 42-22 record in the series. The Hawkeyes beat the Cyclones in 2016, 42-3, but Iowa State has a 10-9 advantage in the series since 1998.

Iowa State will host Iowa in the 2017 Cy-Hawk game, which will take place on Sept. 9. The last time Iowa State played Iowa at home, in 2015, the Cyclones fell 31-17.

Hawkeyes steal win in rivalry Cyclones fall after giving up go-ahead run on rundown By Andy.Stubblefield @iowastatedaily.com IOWA CITY — The Iowa State softball team suffered another heartbreaking loss, but this time it stung a little worse, coming against in-state rival Iowa. The Iowa and Iowa State softball teams wrapped up the 201617 Cy-Hawk series Tuesday in Iowa City with the Hawkeyes coming out on top by one run, 2-1. “It was a tough game,” Sami Williams said. “It was just one of those games I just really wanted to win and I know the team wanted to win.” Hylen, who entered the game with a 4.15 ERA and 39 strikeouts, earned her 10th start of the season. The first Hawkeye batter reached base on a Cyclone error, but Iowa State was able to turn a double play the next batter. Cheyenne Pratt ran around second base and was caught in a rundown. Iowa State struck first in the top of the second inning. Kelsey McFarland earned a walk to become the first base runner for the Cyclones. Kaylee Bosworth hit a

sacrifice fly to right field to bring home McFarland. Williams tied the Iowa State single-season doubles record with a blooper to left field in the top of the third inning. Williams currently leads all NCAA freshmen in doubles. “She is actually our best player right now,” coach Jamie Trachsel said. “Her mentality is the same every day. She wants to be great.” Iowa got on the board in the bottom half of the inning with a sacrifice fly to center field. After being hit by a pitch and stealing a base, McFarland found herself on second base with one out. McFarland advanced to third on a wild pitch, but the Cyclones failed to bring her home in the fourth inning. The fourth and fifth innings were scoreless for both squads, setting up an exciting finish in the last two innings. The Cyclones were held scoreless once again in the top of the sixth inning, but the Hawkeyes were able to snag a run after a rundown. Iowa State had Havyn Monteer caught in a rundown between third base and home but missed the tag at home plate, giving Iowa a 2-1 advantage heading into the final inning. “We just let [Monteer] run home,” Trachsel said. “We threw the ball too late. We do rundowns every single day. It was just a misread by our third baseman.”

Iowa State senior Cathlin Bingham steps up to bat against Oklahoma State on Saturday. The Cyclones won that contest 10-9 but fell short against the Hawkeyes on Tuesday, losing 2-1.

The Cyclones put on their rally caps in the top of the seventh inning as McFarland got things rolling with a short infield blooper to get on first base. Megan Schweitzer stepped in to pinch hit and delivered with a single. Bosworth had a sacrifice bunt to advance runners to second and

third base with one out. Kirsten Caudle lined out to left field for the second out of the inning. Jackie Chairez was walked to load the bases for Talyn Lewis. The Cyclone rally fell short after Lewis had a hard-hit ball to third base, ending the game with a 2-1 win for the Hawkeyes.

“It’s always exciting being in those moments but it’s a bummer to come up short,” McFarland said. “We battled and it was a good game.” The Hawkeyes had the CyHawk series trophy locked up entering the game but added another point to their total to win

Spring Trends with Trend‘s editors-in-chief

Trend magazine editors-in-chief Alisha Humiston (left) and Destinie Phomsouvanh will host a spring release party from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday at Campustown Resort.

By Madison.Pincombe @iowastatedaily.com Not only are Trend magazine editors-inchief Alisha Humiston and Destinie Phomsouvanh confident in their personal style but they are also conscious of the trends of the season. Both shared specific fashion trends that they are seeing now or that Trend magazine covers in its upcoming issue. Humiston highlighted the “crop-kick silhouette for denim and more flared capris.” She also said, “We are getting into more of a relaxed silhouette, which I love.” Phomsouvanh, however, said, “Metallics are really coming in. A lot of our spring pieces for the magazine have metallic. Also, asym-

metrical shoulders. A lot of people think it has gone out of style, but I love it.” Humiston and Phomsouvanh’s love for fashion stems from their confidence in their own style. In regard to her style, Humiston said, “I like to be more laid back and more simplistic. I like interesting pieces themselves, and denim is my go-to.” A cool pair of jeans and a simple graphic T-shirt is one of her favorite outfits, and she refers to a graphic tee as “a conversation starter.” Describing her style, Phomsouvanh said, “It varies by my mood almost. It can either be very relaxed or very over the top. Sometimes I like to be more fashion forward with styles and colors that are trending.” Phomsouvanh’s friends describe her style

as “black and Vogue.” For your personal style, Humiston said, “There is no set way of doing anything, have fun with it and let your personality shine through. When you walk into a room, that’s the first thing that people notice. Don’t try to replicate other people’s style if you don’t feel comfortable with it.” After being with Trend magazine since the first semester of their freshman year, the two enjoy overseeing a large executive and student staff in creating the studentrun publication. They get to supervise and inspire the artistic and editorial direction of the magazine. The editors-in-chief of Trend magazine invite you to the spring release party from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday at Campustown Resort.

TEMPEST p1 Antonio overthrew her, so she may regain her place as the Duke of Milan. Along with Antonio, other conspirators against Prospero have washed ashore. “One of the interesting things, whenever we study Shakespeare, is the convention in Shakespeare’s time period was not only that most characters were going to be men but all characters … were played by men,” Petefish-Schrag said. When Shakespeare’s plays were first performed, only men acted in them because being an actor was a man’s job and men played all parts – even those that were female. “In some ways I think that frees up some choices to say that Shakespeare looked at gender as being somewhat performative,” PetefishSchrag said. However, Petefish-Schrag said that she and others wanted to provide opportunities to the diverse group of actors and actresses at Iowa State. “We live in an age where women can be actors, which is something that during Shakespeare’s time period was not the case,” she said. Petefish-Schrag said that Shakespeare had most likely intended Miranda, who is played by Ashley Diaz, soph-

omore in performing arts, to be the only female in this play. “The play sometimes, I think, can reveal new things when we shake up expectation a little bit,” PetefishSchrag said. “We’ve certainly tried within the language, other than changing pronouns and titles here and there, we’ve tried to retain the language. “When I talk about shaking things up, it’s interesting even from the director’s perspective when you’re confronted with a text and suddenly we think about Prospero in a different way.” Changing Prospero’s gender allowed the cast and crew to explore the play further. “It opens a lot of possibilities up and you sort of rethink

a lot of the text, both in terms of the things that remain unchanged and then some of the surprising things that are revealed,” Petefish-Schrag said. Petefish-Schrag said many roles have changed from men to women. With these changes, the cast is now “equally balanced” in terms of gender. The play is considered by many to be Shakespeare’s last play that he had written by himself, and coincidentally it is going to be the last show performed for the 2017 spring semester at Iowa State. “It’s a play that often gets associated with endings,” Petefish-Schrag said. “Because Prospero, within the play, talks a lot about bringing things to their conclusion

and bringing things to their end.” She also said that as much as she thinks the play is about endings, she believes that it is also about beginnings and

percent and always wanting to get a 100 no matter the score,” Day said. The Iowa State football team posted its highest APR score in the last six years, a feat Day described as unique given the recent changes to the coaching staff. “Football will post its best number ever, which is especially positive with a new coach,” Day said. “What is often seen is a loss of retention when there’s a

new coach but not in this case.” To end his speech, Day praised the work of Iowa State wrestler Quean Smith and described his story as “not necessarily an athletic success but a success for Iowa State as a whole.” Smith was featured in a story in the Iowa State Daily in March that detailed his lifestyle change after moving from Detroit to Iowa State under a wrestling scholarship.

Faculty Senate President Jonathan Sturm presented briefly on his updates to a meeting with Iowa State interim President Ben Allen. Sturm said that Allen vocalized three goals for his time as president of the university. These included ensuring faculty remained engaged even during university budget cuts, retaining fundraising momentum and keeping Iowa State strong for the future.

The senate brought to discussion the removal of several Iowa State minors as well as the addition of both the newly proposed minor and certificate in data science, which were unanimously approved. Discontinuation of the minor in athletic coaching was brought forward for discussion. Mainly due to confusion on what exactly the program entails, only UNI supports the minor out of the three Iowa regent

universities. The senate justified the change by adding that there were many outside resources that would allow students to receive certificates in the field. The final minor change led to the discontinuation of the sports and recreation program. According to the senate, the minor no longer aligned with the department and takes away resources that could be used elsewhere.
