Celebrating Iowa State’s 61st Greek Week, fraternities and sororities come to unite under a common bond of fraternal friendship.

Students kick off Greek Week

Fraternity, sorority members celebrate similarities together By Ryan.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com

The Greek community came together as a whole to celebrate the kickoff of Iowa State’s 61st annual Greek Week. “This is the one week where all of us can hopefully put down our own letters and just be happy that we are greek instead of just in our own individual chapters and be more of a community,” said

Matt Sheyko, co-chair of Greek Week and senior in anthropology. Greek Week is a week-long event where fraternities and sororities unite under a common bond of fraternal friendship. “This is a chance to celebrate what it means to be greek,” said Jude LaRenzie, co-chair of Greek Week and senior in chemical engineering. The kickoff to Greek Week began with the traditional role call, a fashion show and barbecue on Central Campus, on Monday. According to Sheyko, role call is a tradition that is a way to represent your organization through a stomp, cheer or short skit. Every sorority is paired with one or two frater-

nities for Greek Week. Each pairing prepared a role call that shows pride to not only their specific chapters but also greek life as a whole. A stomp act performed by Gamma Phi Beta, Theta Delta Chi and Phi Delta Theta cheered, “no matter what’s across the chest, we all Greek together.” The goal of the kickoff was to start Greek Week united as one group instead of as individual chapters. Greek Week is an opportunity for the men and women of the greek community to show their creativity and talents. Members of Alpha Omicron Pi

Symposium boosts Engineering autism awareness programs By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com Approximately 100 people will attend an annual symposium on Tuesday to hear an autism expert speak on the myths and tips about autism spectrum disorders. The event will be hosted by Autism Spectrum Parent Information Resource and Education, a parent-run support group for parents and teachers who have children with autism. It is open to the public and will take place from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Carver Hall Auditorium. “[Autism is] so prevalent; it’s really almost an epidemic. We really need to figure out …

how to help those who have it lead a life that’s happy and successful,” said Alyson Beytien Beytien, key speaker of the event. Beytien has three sons with autism and is the behavior specialist for the Mercy Autism Center in Dubuque. She speaks across the United States and Canada about issues related to autism spectrum disorders. Her presentation will center on five tips which families and educators can use on a daily

ISU agricultural and biosystems engineering programs are ranked number six in the U.S. News and World Report in collegiate graduate programs. David Holger, associate provost for academic programs and dean of the graduate college, said that for graduate program rankings, reputation is the main component to achieving success. The reputation factor comes into effect when determining the differences in coursework and program content for students.

On Monday night, Katelynn McCollough was selected as the new editor in chief of the Iowa State Daily for the 2013-2014 school year. The decision was made after deliberation of the Daily’s publication board in a meeting in Hamilton Hall. McCollough is currently a junior studying journalism and political science on the pre-law track and has worked for the Daily since August 2011. McCollough already has many plans for the Daily next year, including starting up a weekend edition of the Daily with a longer shelf life, improving digital platforms and remaining a constant news source. “I am really most excited to be figuring out the future of the

The son of two lesbian mothers, the 19-year-old University of Iowa engineering student had no idea that his heartfelt testimony before the Iowa House Judiciary Committee would have such an impact. Just two days later, a YouTube video of his testimony went viral. He was a state champion in high school debate and multiple national finalist in competitive acting, but Zach had never before been given such an opportunity to stand up and speak out on behalf of his family. So that is what he did, becoming an advocate for his family and families like his all over the country.

basis to help children with autism be as successful as possible. Autism Spectrum Parent Information Research and Education hosts annual symposiums that are open to the public, but they also have monthly meetings throughout the year. Beytien and Jamie Gurganus — who also has a child with autism and works for Heartland Area Education Agency, the event’s sponsor — agree these events are helpful for families. Gurganus said the meetings support families by allowing them to be “able to walk in my shoes” and relate to each other. According to Beytien, recent research shows that one in 88 children currently has some degree of an autism spectrum disorder. “So much of what happens to us is similar, yet we often feel that we’re the only parents that have had it happen,” Beytien said. Those who do not parent or teach a child with autism should attend because it will change “the way people view and interact with the individuals on the spectrum,” Beytien said. “Whether it’s your own child or your neighbor’s child or the child that you’re going to hire or the child you’re going to teach, [there are] so many abilities— not disabilities, but abilities — that these children have,” Beytien said. Gurganus and Beytien believe that there are still many misunderstandings about autism. Beytien said individuals with autism are not intellectually impaired and that there is a misunderstanding about the intelligence level of those individuals. “Because their communication skills are impaired, and their social interactions are impaired, they’re often dismissed,” Beytien said. Gurganus said there are also negative behavioral stereotypes. “[Understanding autism] helps the public understand and maybe have a little empathy for a child who is having a tantrum in the middle of the store … and understand some of the quirky behaviors these kids have,” Gurganus said. Gurganus stresses that bad parenting and a lack of discipline do not influence the behav-

is important to the reputation of a program. “A measure that I think of when I think about other graduate programs, is when I hear that somebody introduced something new or made a change because of some trend in the discipline. That makes me think that’s probably a better program because they’re paying attention to what is going on,” Holger said. Steven Freeman, associate director in agricultural and biosystems engineering and Center for Excellence in Learn and Teach, said there is no set coursework for the students due to the diversity of each department. Each individual field of study is designed to meet the needs of the student. Agricultural business companies, such as John Deere, tend to hire graduate ISU students. Biosystems engineering students tend to go to work for agronomy business companies to make agricultural chemicals, go to seed companies or companies doing research in fields such as grain handling, Holger said. Job placement is tracked at least six months prior to graduation, which tends to show an 80 percent job-retention rate. The rankings given to Iowa State in agricultural and biosystems engineering will remain stable for a number of years, Holger said. The reputation aspect of the rankings changes slowly, thus indicating that the programs which are ranked highly this year have been ranked highly on the list for a number of years.

ior of a child with autism. Often, the public does not realize that certain individuals have a form of autism, which can lead to negative feelings toward those people. “If someone is in a wheelchair, they understand. They know,” Gurganus said. Beytien also said there is a myth that children with autism are “off in their own little world” and do not connect or make close relationships with others. “Many of them have an innate sense of who to trust, who’s supportive of them [and] who enjoys them versus those who are scared or frightened of them,” Beytien said. Beytien’s speech will focus on daily care that can be given to help children with autism become successful. She believes that this will help dispel the myths about autism. “It’s one thing to hear a diagnosis and to hear it on the news. It’s another to hear what really happens in families. [The public] should hear the good, the bad and the ugly of disabilities,” Beytien said.

Fast facts on rankings ■■ U.S. News and World Report ranked ISU agricultural and biosystems engineering programs sixth in collegiate graduate programs ■■ New ABE Department building is being built on the west side of campus ■■ Reputation is a key aspect to the rankings ■■ Programs continue to have high rankings due to excellent faculty

neering programs are top-competitor graduate programs at Iowa State against agricultural and biosystems engineering. Holger said Iowa State also competes with Purdue, Minnesota and Illinois for graduate students’ admission in engineering, agricultural and life sciences and biological sciences. The graduate programs’ faculty is a key component to the success of the programs, Freeman said. “We have the leading faculty in the country that graduate students want to come here to work with,” Freeman said. The new location for the agricultural and biosystems engineering is in the process of being built on the west side of campus between Howe Hall and Biorenewables Institute. The department is moving to a different building in the fall of 2014. The updated facilities should help ratings of the departments, Freeman said.

Editorial:

Peruse your future with can-do vigor Last month, a small spate of content in The New York Times, which included two opinion pieces and a news article, dealt with top colleges’ ability to incorporate less-privileged students into their student bodies. The timing, of course, was no surprise, as the Ivy Leagues made their admissions offers at the end of last week. In a news article, The New York Times wrote, “Better Colleges Failing to Lure Talented Poor.” The writer of one op-ed lamented the fact that most “talented rural poor kids” do not attempt to get into top colleges in “The Ivy League Was Another Planet.” Another writer (in “A Simple Way to Send Poor Kids to Top Colleges”) related the results of an experiment in which “high-achieving, low-income students” received extensive information about highly selective colleges and universities. The study found 30 percent of students who did not receive admissions packets gained admission into such colleges, but 54 percent of students who did receive admissions packets gained admission into such colleges. We could not help but remember our own experiences with college applications and the heartbreak attached to not gaining a seat in the freshman class of whatever university, even though it was a long shot for our credentials to merit. Even after a few (or, for a couple of us, several) years, the rejection letters still sting. Indeed, we went on to feel comfort in the fact that those days are behind us — until, that is, we considered applications for graduate schools, summer jobs and, in the case of graduating seniors, real-life, adult jobs that we’ll need to pay the bills. The world, it seems, is a scary place. That said, all is not lost. The sun rises every morning in the East, and it sets in the West. Winter, spring, summer and fall all come and go, and come and go and come again and go again. Even if we don’t get into the schools or careers we want, there are other schools and other careers. As uplifting as those realizations are, however, one thing above all others gives us hope for the future — ourselves. People, if they so desire, have the distinct opportunity to improve themselves and their civilizations. As summer (and the future) approaches and we seek jobs and schools with increasing vigor, it would be easy to forget the thrill of finding something that might be out of our reach but pursuing it anyway. The thrills that go along with making ourselves qualified for a job or admissions letter are equaled to only the thrill of trying — actually trying, not sending in an application on a whim — to get an offer of employment or admission when we know that no reason exists for the human resources manager or admissions officer to give our resume a second look. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, it is said. Change can be sudden, revolutionary and disruptive, or it can be conservative, evolutionary and allow for a great deal of continuity. Either way, the end result is the same: We have traveled from Point A to Point B. Change is also a fact of life. The question then, is, why would we not want to be the agents of change, rather than its recipients? Fortune favors the brave.

Shorter days affect emotions File photo: William Deaton/Iowa State Daily Tony Thonesavanh, junior in history, bears the snow and wind as he walks across Central Campus during the snowstorm on Feb. 21. With an abnormally long winter this year, it is a possibility that students who have feel down may be suffering from seasonal affective disorder.

very week for the last month, there has been a day where the temperature reaches up and scrapes the low 40s on the thermometer. Those with an optimistic eye see that, don a lighter jacket and think maybe winter is finally over. Unfortunately, for the last few weeks, those hopeful people have been sorely disappointed. Each bout of brighter weather is followed by sleet or three inches of snow on the following day. Fortunately, winter can’t actually last forever, and as we reach April, spring has to be just around the corner. With the exception of avid skiers or snowboarders, it seems that everyone looks forward to the spring thaw. Warmer weather equates to outdoor recreation, less miserable walks across campus and a generally lightened mood that accompanies the increased intake of precious vitamin D. Though most people appear more cheerful during warmer months, there are some who are actually chemically affected by the loss of sunlight that occurs between November and March. For most of us residing in the United States, seasons are a big part of life, and the changes that occur among them are quite substantial. Seasonal affective disorder is a problem that is (deservedly) getting more and more attention lately. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, S.A.D. is a sort of depression that takes root in people who live in regions with long winter months and short winter days. Fewer sunlit hours result not only in less vitamin D, but also in a lessened release of the chemical serotonin in the brain, which regulates moods. People affected by S.A.D.

By Hailey.Gross @iowastatedaily.com may become grumpy, tired, gain weight and otherwise generally act like a bear preparing for hibernation. We take it for granted that spring and summer bring better moods and accept that winter is just sort of unpleasant. Most of our school-going months reside in the wintry season and there isn’t really much anyone can do about it. As a result, the overworked feeling many students experience and the drudgery of winter weather mingle and become one big downer. However, separating school stress and seasonal depression is essential. If you feel that S.A.D. might be the reason behind your glum moods or negative thoughts, there are a few things that can help. Unfortunately, none of them are things that college students generally enjoy doing. Waking up early is essential for those who suffer from seasonal depression. With the number of daylight hours severely limited in the summer, it’s important to rise early in order to take advantage of each shred of sunlight. This means that even on those glorious Saturday mornings when all you really want to do is sleep past noon, it might be more beneficial to get moving. Yet another disagreeable solution is to spend more time outside. Even if it’s miserably frigid, the direct sunlight can do wonders for the release of aforementioned brain chemicals. Perhaps the least unpleasant, but the hardest to actually do, is eat healthier. Those who suffer from S.A.D. are tragically drawn to food

that is high in carbohydrates. If that describes you perfectly, try to eat more rice, pasta and fruit, and fewer donuts and bagels. The better you take care of your body, the better your mind will respond. In addition to all these self-administered tips, there are other possible solutions. The Student Counseling Center on campus has resources for students who suffer from seasonal affective disorder, including light treatment (which literally exposes you to more light). Even if it is seasonal, S.A.D. is a form of depression. Those who feel they may have S.A.D. should not neglect to talk to a professional about it and other concerns. Too often, we simply accept the gloominess of campus life during winter as a fact of our environment. If it is more than just classes that are getting you down, consider that your happiness and soundness of mind may be affected by the seasons. As in any condition, there are gradations of severity, so even if you wouldn’t categorize yourself as depressed, S.A.D. could still be an explanation. Fortunately, whether you think you might be experiencing seasonal affective disorder or you’re just excited to pull your shorts out of storage, spring should be here any day now, meaning more sun to come. Most of us on campus will be just a little bit happier when the last few stubborn piles of snow have melted.

Field of Dreams site Fisher Theater remodel does not expansion will serve meet needs of all as asset to Iowans If you have been to Iowa State Center, you may have noticed that the second-level walkways connecting the buildings have been demolished. The stated purpose for their demolition is to free this space for university outdoor events. Another outcome of eliminating the walkways, however, is that Fisher Theater is no longer completely accessible to people like me, who use wheelchairs. Previously, in the case of fire, the walkway from the second floor of Fisher Hall to Stephens Auditorium provided a convenient exit from the theater, which is located on the second floor of Fisher. Now, there is no accessible exit from the theater. To address this issue, ramps were installed at the entrances on each side of the building. However, these ramps are too steep to meet requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Once in the building, mobility-impaired individuals must now sit in the front of the theater. Therefore,

General information: The Iowa State Daily is an independent student newspaper established in 1890 and written, edited, and sold by students

I and others who cannot climb the stairs in the theater have no access to the first floor — where the bathrooms are located — unless we exit the building, take the steep ramp down to the sidewalk and come back in through the lobby entrance. This is an activity that will be particularly challenging during bad weather. Why did this situation happen, you may ask? Well, my guess is that the architects in charge of this project failed to consider the needs of individuals with mobility impairments. Administrators of the Iowa State Center and faculty of the ISU Theatre Program, of which my spouse is a member, attempted to get the problem addressed before the demolition of the walkways began. Their concerns were ignored. To make Fisher Theater accessible will now require a major renovation of the building, something unlikely to happen anytime soon.

Tourists from around the world have been visiting the Field of Dreams movie site in my hometown, Dyersville, Iowa, since the movie was filmed in 1989. Now people will be visiting for reasons other than to see the original movie site. The 193-acre Field of Dreams movie site was recently purchased by Go the Distance Baseball, LLC for $3.4 million. It was big news for Dyersville, home of 4,000 residents and a rich baseball tradition, especially after investors indicated their intention to develop a youth baseball complex around the movie site. Because of its potential impact on the small-town environment, infrastructure, way of life and economy, the project has been divisive and controversial. After an intensely contested approval process, construction for the $38 million project will begin this spring. The complex will be named All-Star Ballpark Heaven and will include 24 baseball diamonds, lodging for

players, an indoor training facility, a restaurant and a community center. The outdoor complex will host national and local youth baseball tournaments. The state and local governments will play a role in helping the development. Gov. Terry Branstad signed a bill that will give Go the Distance a $16.5 million state sales tax rebate over the first 10 years of operation. In addition, Dyersville will pay the group a total of $5.1 million over the next 15 years, financed by property taxes related to the project. I believe this cost is worth it, as developers estimate the complex will bring $47 million annually to the local economy in all industries, even those unrelated to the sport.

Sports Jargon:

Brushback SPORT: Softball DEFINITION: A pitch – usually a fastball – that nearly hits the batter and “brushes her back” USE: ISU softball player Tori Torrescano used a brushback pitch to back a batter up from the plate.

By John.Barry @iowastatedaily.com There are few better feats for a pitcher in baseball or softball than throwing a no-hitter. Not allowing the opponent to make offensive strides can make a pitcher seem untouchable. On March 23, Tori Torrescano was just that. The Cyclone senior was able to throw a complete five innings while allowing only one unearned run with one walk in the 12-1 win against Elon (N.C.). It took her 74 pitches to complete the memorable accomplishment. “I’m not sure if my curveball was moving a little more than normal or if their hitters were just swinging at it and mishitting,” Torrescano said. “Whatever it was, it seemed to be working.” Playing a weaker team like Elon, which is now 12-19 on the season, is not the deciding factor for the no-hitter. After the ISU softball team jumped out to an early 6-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning, there was almost a pitching change to get other players some reps. “There was a point when we were contemplating actually switching pitchers just because we were up a lot and have someone else get some work early in the third inning,” said ISU coach Stacy GemeinhardtCesler. “But, then, we ended up not switching just because we thought of the possibility of the no-hitter.” Fellow senior Erica Miller gave the team what it needed offensively. She was going 2-for3 with five RBIs. Torrescano

also aided her cause behind the plate, batting 1-for-3 in the game with one run batted in. “I went out in the last inning and realized the scoreboard showed I hadn’t given up a hit yet,” Torrescano said. “Liana [Henry] made a great diving catch in the fifth to save me on what could’ve been a base hit.” When asked about the team’s superstitions in between innings, Torrescano knew the drill. “I’ve never thrown a nohitter or even been close,” Torrescano said. “I’ve heard if you think about it or even talk to someone about it, you lose it.” Gemeinhardt-Cesler’s answer when asked about superstitions did not deviate from the one Torrescano gave. “You always try not to think about it,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. “I saw the zero up on the scoreboard in the fifth inning, and I realized what she had going.” Torrescano’s is the second no-hitter tossed by the Cyclones this season. True freshman Riley Fisher threw a no-hitter against North Dakota earlier this season.

Emotions carried Cyclones through past season

eartbreak. One word that can easily define the ending to the football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball seasons. While some pills were tougher to swallow, ISU coach Bill Fennelly said after his team got knocked out in the NCAA tournament by No. 4-seeded Georgia that he found something with his players he thought he had lost. “They gave me back something I thought I lost. I really mean that,” Fennelly said. “[It was great] to be around them every day and to see how hard they have worked at things and the progress they made and the way they cared about one another. “I lost a little bit of belief in people understanding and wanting to do things the ‘Iowa State way.’ That there were kids on our team in the past that didn’t get it. ... There’s no way to quantify that. And I did not want to be involved or around people that didn’t get it.” After the end of the ISU women’s basketball team’s season in Spokane, Wash., Fennelly and players gave one of the most emotional news conferences I had seen all season. It was more emotional than the loss at Iowa when sophomore Nikki Moody and junior Hallie Christofferson came in, still tearyeyed after coming up short against the in-state foes; more emotional than when the team had mounted a 13-point comeback to beat West Virginia on senior night to give Chelsea Poppens, Anna Prins and

with which it played all season long. This news conference was somber. Players and Fennelly awaited the press, awaiting questions on their feelings of the loss to No. 4 seed Georgia. Prins answered first, talking about how it was an amazing ride. She handled question after question until emotions and tears flooded her eyes when she finally realized she would no longer put on the ISU uniform. Toward the end, Prins began

speaking about how she would “never forget this year” and how it was “the most amazing experience of her life.” She said she was prepared for life. That’s what Fennelly had done. In turn, they returned the feeling of understanding and the commitment of the “Iowa State way” he preached about since the first day of summer practice. And that’s not to say there isn’t emotion in men’s games, but not once did you see Moody fly down the court and try to make a 360-degree dunk (granted she is only 5-foot-8). Each play was a team effort, which was special for fans to watch. Throughout the season, Fennelly told the media about the uniqueness of his 2012-13 team, and how it was unlike most in the Big 12 or in the country. It was apparent on the court and on the bench. Freshman Madison Baier played in 13 games; teammates would argue she had a factor in all 33 of them. The pureness of raw emotion could go unmatched for while. The characters of this year’s team were uncanny. But no matter if it is matched next year by the incoming players, Fennelly said something will always remain with the 2012-13 Cyclones. “I will always be indebted to them for that,” Fennelly said.

College announces dean finalists

Final interviews for position to commence By Zoe.Woods @iowastatedaily.com

Three finalists for the new dean’s position in the College of Business were announced Monday. A lot of time and effort went into deciding the final candidates for the spot. A search committee convened in Des Moines last week, where a large group of candidates met with the committee. The three finalists that were announced by the college of business are: J. Chris Leach, Jay Sa-Aadu and David Spalding, senior vice president and advisor to the president, at Dartmouth College. “We collected a whole bunch of names and then from there, worked in trying to then communicate with the people who had been nominated and let them know that they had been nominated and asked if they would please consider applying for the position,” said Pam White, dean for the human sciences administration. There were 50 applicants for the job, either through nominations or through an interest in the advertisement posted for the position. The

search committee worked for months going though all of the applications. Meetings were held which discussed the candidates and Leach the qualifications which made each candidate a good fit for the position. “After everybody had been individually reviewed, the committee came to a consensus as to the ones that we would like to invite for an off campus interview,” White said. Many people were denied candidacy for dean of the College of Business. Eight off campus interviews were completed on March 24 and 25. “From there, we selected our three finalists who will then come to campus for interviews,” White said. According to a press release from the college of business, the three finalists were given short biographies of their academic positions and education. J. Chris Leach has spent 19 years at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He is the senior associate dean for faculty and research from the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Communication center grows in service International students aided by expansion By Justin.Senecaut @iowastatedaily.com The communication center has been a part of the College of Business since the fall of 2005, as stated on the communication center website, and it has seen dramatic growth in just a few years. “The communication center was developed in the College of Business in re-

sponse to the ISU communication initiative,” said Abhijit Rao, director of the communication center. The communication center has had an impact on countless students from the fall of 2005 when it only served 80 students to just a couple years later in 2007, when it served 2,000 students. “We are currently serving over 1,500 one-to-one sessions with students every semester in addition to class visits, presentations and workshops on business communication,” Rao said. Since the communication

center has grown, they have taken on new responsibilities, which include helping the international students.

International Moves “As the number of international students on campus — and in the business college — is growing rapidly, we have focused more this past year on writing in American academic and business styles and reading academic and business genres critically,” Rao said. Even though they are focusing on improving their reach to the international community,

they are still providing help to all students in developing their business communication proficiency. Rao also said that they just

added new full-time staff this semester to help manage the growing needs of the students, and Joseph Doolittle is the assistant director. To help students with their communication skills, the center has communication consultants; one of the consultants is Sara Dobbin. “Students can schedule appointments with me over memos, written assignments, reports or presentations that they have been assigned for class,” Dobbin said. Dobbin also said that appointments can be made for 30 minutes or an hour, depend-

ing on the assignment. These appointments help students polish their assignments and receive feedback on their writing/presentation skills. All the student has to do is make an appointment online and show up with a draft. “Faculty members can approach us with any questions they may have regarding oral or written assignments for their classes,” said Dobbin. “Some faculty members in the College of Business require their students to schedule at least one session with the center to work on their assignments for the semester.”
