Iowa State celebrates rights of First Amendment By Matthew.Rezab @iowastatedaily.com

Zachary Zenko replaces Arko Mukherjee as GPSS president By Emily.Stearney @iowastatedaily.com Zachary Zenko, the next Graduate and Professional Student Senate president, has his sights set on being a professor. Zenko has been at Iowa State for three years working toward a Ph.D. In addition to starting his dissertation, Zenko has also been elected to be next year’s GPSS president. Zenko’s goals as a graduate student have always been clear. He knew he wanted to work for a university since his freshman year of college. “My ultimate goal is to become a professor,” Zenko said. Zenko finished the Preparing Future Faculty program last semester in preparation of entering the faculty workforce after earning his Ph.D. Zenko said his work in GPSS has helped prepare him for his future plans. “It’s a wonderful program,” Zenko said. “I recommend it to anyone who wants to become a faculty member.” After earning his degree, Zenko wants to either go on to do post-doctoral work or enter the workforce as a professor. Originally from Levittown, Pa., Zenko received an undergraduate degree from Edinboro University and a master’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh. His first two degrees are in health and physical education and health physiology. “I don’t want you to think I studied to become a gym teacher,” Zenko said with a laugh. Now a Ph.D. student, Zenko specializes in exercise psychology and is beginning to prepare for his dissertation, which he hopes to obtain within a year. Amid his graduate studies, Zenko said he will remain involved with GPSS. Zenko has been involved with GPSS for his entire career at Iowa State, and will replace Arko Mukherjee as president for the upcoming academic year. Zenko started out as a kinesiology senator for two years before becoming vice president

Zachary Zenko will replace Arko Mukherjee as GPSS president for the 2015-16 academic year. Zenko spent his first two years at Iowa State as a kinesiology senator before becoming vice president of GPSS this year.

Americans often claim to love and follow the Constitution, but sadly many citizens are unaware of its basic contents. The First Amendment Center, based in Nashville, Tenn., has found only 1 in 6 Americans have been able to name the five freedoms granted by the First Amendment since the yearly poll began in 1997. The five freedoms granted by the First Amendment are: freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to assemble, the right to petition the government and freedom of and from religion. In an attempt to better educate students and the community, Iowa State is hosting First Amendment Day in honor of our sacred freedoms with Feast on the First on Central Campus from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday and will welcome Gene Policinski, chief operating officer of the Newseum Institute, for a lecture at 7 p.m. in the Curtiss Hall Auditorium. Katie Titus, president of the Society of ProfesPOLICINSKI sional Journalists at Iowa State, said she hopes the events are not just fun and entertaining, but informative as well. “First Amendment Day is a celebration of the First Amendment and First Amendment rights,” Titus said. “ It gives students a chance for debate and the opportunity to learn more about their rights.” Feast of the First will feature booths for clubs and organizations to spread their ideas and messages as well a soapbox area where attendees are encouraged to exercise their rights in the form of debate. Fighting Burrito will cater the event. Policinski has been a longtime advocate for First Amendment rights. He has been involved in journalism in one form or an-

Students experience night without a home By John.Kruse @iowastatedaily.com

LGBTA ALLIANCE HOSTS ANNUAL SPRING DRAG SHOW Molly Pumps awes the crowd during the ISU drag show Sunday. The show was sponsored by LGBTAA in support of Youth and Shelter Services. LBTA Alliance’s mission is to “provide a safe space where students and guests can discuss and learn about the LGBTA community, their sexual orientation and gender identity, have support in their acceptance of themselves and others as we strive to eliminate homophobia and heterosexism in all aspects of life on and off campus,” according to its website.

Despite the rain and chilly temperatures, Elizabeth Haut and several other ISU students spent a night huddled together in duct-taped-cardboard boxes. By choice. These students spent Saturday night outside to spread awareness about homelessness in America. “We don’t know people’s situations or what they have been through,” said Haut, student organizer of the event and junior in mathematics. “A lot of people go day by day wondering where

they’re going to sleep.” For the event, students were asked to fashion their own overnight shelters out of cardboard and duct tape, where they would spend the night. At least 2.3 million people experience homelessness at some time during an average year, according to Future in Humanity, an organization dedicated to helping the homeless. The event was supposed to have taken place on Central Campus; but because of the constant rain throughout Saturday, the event was moved to the bottom section of the St. Thomas Aquinas

Students may speak anonymously with Office of Civil Rights on sexual assault By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com Students can speak to the The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights anonymously on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Office of Civil Rights will conduct a site visit, which comes after announcing earlier this year that Iowa State is under investigation after a complaint about the university’s handling of a sexual assault allegation made by an ISU student

against another student. The assault in complaint occurred last spring, and the university has been under investigation since October. In order to set an appointment, students and other members of the ISU community should get an appointment card from the Great Hall Desk at the Memorial Union across from the Post Office. Cards are available beginning at 8 a.m. Monday. Appointments are available from 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesday and 1 to 4 p.m.

Wednesday. Only one appointment card will be available to each person. If an appointment is available at the time someone is receiving an appointment card, students can visit with the Office of Civil Rights immediately. Sharon Zenor will no longer be setting up meetings. The Office of Civil Rights will interview administrators and Iowa State employees who helped conduct the investigation of the sexual assault on April 20 to 22.

Alpha Kappa Lambda to host ‘These Hands Don’t Hurt’ By Matthew.Rezab @iowastatedaily.com As a part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Alpha Kappa Lambda will host its “These Hands Don’t Hurt” event from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. outside the Sloss House on Monday. Organizers encourage students and community members to participate in the visual support of non-violence by imprinting their hand on a large canvas repre-

senting the commitment to not commit acts of violence against others. The completed banner will represent the people who are supporting the movement against violence. Sexual Assault Awareness Month raises awareness of sexual violence through special events while highlighting sexual violence as a major public health issue and reinforces the need for prevention efforts. According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest

National Network, every two minutes someone is sexual assaulted in the U.S. 1 in 6 women and 1 in 33 men will be sexually assaulted. In 2007, there were 248,300 victims of sexual assault. College age women are four times more likely to be sexually assaulted. 60 percent of sexual assaults are not reported to the police. The event is free and open to the public.

Runners break through the starting tape of the Delta Sigma Phi 4K Hay Run for Cancer on Friday. The race took place around Central Campus and raised more than $1,670 for the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults. ISU students and Ames community members participated in the event.

A runner finishes the final obstacle of the 4K Hay Run for Cancer. The event marked Delta Sigma Phi’s first philanthropy since returning to Iowa State.

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES FOR A CAUSE Delta Sigma Phi hosts 4K Hay Run to raise money against cancer By Greg.Zwiers @iowastatedaily.com Nathan Davis wasn’t wearing a shirt when he stumbled over a stack of hay bales to cross the finish line. Davis, who expected an itchy rash to come soon after the adrenaline wore off, rolled into first place with a time of 14:08 for Delta Sigma Phi’s 4K Hay Run for Cancer on Saturday. This was Delta Sigma Phi’s first philanthropy since returning to Iowa State and the event raised $1,670 for the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults. The 4K Hay Run for

Cancer had a $10 entry fee for participants who gathered on Central Campus on Friday for the 6 p.m. race. Most racers were ISU students, but there were Ames community members in attendance as well. “As our first philanthropy, that’s an amazing start and could really go somewhere,” said Cody Hut, junior in industrial technology, Delta Sigma Phi member and race cocoordinator. Racers had to watch out for hay bale obstacles as well as each other in the course through campus. The 4K for Cancer program of the Ulman Can-

cer Fund For Young Adults sponsors 4,000-mile bike and running races across the United States. The races are scheduled with time for participants to go to cancer treatment centers to speak with patients, give chemotherapy care packages and volunteer where the centers need help, said Jeffrey Robson, sophomore in kinesiology and health, and Delta Sigma Phi member who biked from Philadelphia to San Francisco last summer with 4K for Cancer. Tyler Tweeten, sophomore in pre-business and Delta Sigma Phi member, will be running from San Francisco to New York City with the program this summer. “We thought of doing an obstacle course, some-

thing similar to like a Tough Mudder or a Warrior Dash, but way toned down so anyone could participate,” said Ryan Gallus, junior in computer engineering, Delta Sigma Phi member and race co-director. When coming up with an idea for their first philanthropy as a newly rechartered greek chapter at Iowa State, Robson suggested partnering with the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults because of his experience in summer 2014. “We only started rechartering last April, so it’s been about a year now and were able to put on an event this big, so I’m pretty excited about that,” Gallus said. Robson acted as a lead bike, taking a few laps around the course to keep runners on track. Hut said

he was thankful there were no injuries and the race ran smoothly. Hut said there were some problems, like some of the hay bales falling apart, but nothing major. “If there’s not problems, you’re not trying to think outside the box enough,” Hut said. Graham Bacon, sophomore in materials engineering, came in second, with Brennan Kelly, senior in industrial engineering, finishing third. Alex Daly, junior in computer engineering, said the race was something different from usual and very well advertised. Daly said he would do the race again next year. Delta Sigma Phi members spent the two weeks prior to the race with a ta-

ble in the free speech zone outside of Parks Library, reached out to the greek community for support and took advantage of social media to advertise. “They’ve been especially helpful with this being our first ever philanthropy. I think a lot of people are excited we are able to pull this off,” Gallus said. Delta Sigma Phi member Ben Feltes acted as emcee for the race, frequently joking around and playing an air horn app through the speaker. Perfect Games was a last-minute sponsor, donating a $25 gift card for the first finisher, $10 gift cards for second and third, Gallus said. He hopes to get more Ames companies and community members involved next year.

Ecoweek helps students think green By Vanessa.Franklin @iowastatedaily.com With Earth Month in full swing, more than 10 clubs and organizations have collaborated to bring a new week-long celebration, called Ecoweek, to life. Ecoweek is a week full of events about sustainability and the environment starting Monday and ending Sunday. “Ecoweek is a part of the whole Earth Month celebration and awareness building that we are trying to do not only as the office of sustainability, but

also with all the student organizations on campus,” said Merry Rankin, director of sustainability. “These events will engage students and faculty in different environmentally aware sustainability events to find different ways to connect to the celebration around Earth Month.” Wicitra Mahotama, senior in environmental science and president of the Environmental Science Club, said the week provides students with a week of fun events to participate in during the spring. “I think the intent of the events is that everybody

finds their own personal connection to the Earth and sustainability and to provide a more sustainable future not only for us, but for future generations that follow us,” Rankin said. All proceeds during the week go to Charity Water, an organization whose goal is to provide everyone in the world with clean and safe drinking water. Events during the week range from a tabling event in the free speech zone to planting and harvesting seeds for the student organic farm. “We want people to learn new habits or try new

things that will lessen our individual impact and our collective impact,” Rankin said. “A lot of times I think it’s so easy. You go about your daily routine and you really think you’re doing something good. You might not really realize the different impacts some of your decisions can make.” Mahotama said working alongside other sustainable clubs has been a humbling experience, and watching their ideas become reality demonstrates the power of what a group of people can accomplish. “I want [students] to realize that through their

Teams race to Jack Trice Stadium in an attempt to find the first clue of the first annual CyMazing Race on Saturday. The event was modeled after “The Amazing Race” TV show.

Teams crisscross campus in CyMazing Race By Zane.Satre @iowastatedaily.com ISU students spread across campus Saturday as part of the first ever CyMazing Race. The event, modeled after “The Amazing Race” TV series, sent teams of four participants on a chase around the university where they were faced with various mental and physical challenges. Competitors started the race at the Alumni Center, where they had

to blow cups off a table with a balloon, run across the parking lot while using clipboards to pass a birdie back and forth and try to pour a 2-liter bottle full of mints into another bottle. The race then progressed through different locations such as Jack Trice Stadium, Central Campus, State Gym, the Memorial Union and Gerdin Business Building. Some teams chose to sprint the entire way, while others eventually slowed to a brisk walk instead. At each location, teams

had to decipher clues in order to find the next destination. The different stops also featured a variety of challenges such as rock climbing, bowling and ISU trivia. Kallie Kollmorgen, junior in mathematics, signed up to compete with her team because she wants to be on the TV show itself. “I actually watch “The Amazing Race” and I’m going to apply,” Kollmorgen said. “This is basically like my practice.”

Others, like Emily Soyer, junior in accounting, and her team, chose to participate purely for the fun. “I used to watch the show when I was little and it’s a fun challenge; it looked interesting,” Soyer said. The Student Alumni Leadership Council, which hosted the event, provided T-shirts and Insomnia Cookies to all participants at the finish line. The winning team of the race also received $50 Visa gift cards. SALC member Janelle

Gibney, junior in psychology, said the CyMazing Race was designed to be more than just a simple competition. “We did this event to make students more aware of what resources are available to them at Iowa State, so we tried to utilize a lot of different things along the way,” Gibney said. “It was also a physical race; our contestants were running over two miles today to complete it.” Despite wet conditions, 24 teams competed in this year’s inaugural

event. According to SALC vice president Erin McDermott, senior in communications studies, the CyMazing Race is just one of the many events the group organizes throughout the year. “The Student Alumni Leadership Council is a bunch of different committees that do lots of different events with students,” McDermott said. “Its comprised of Cyclone Alley, Homecoming, [SALC] Ambassadors and Senior Class Council, and then we do marketing, too.”

International Food Fair succeeds despite Veishea cancellation By Audra.Kincart @iowastatedaily.com The Memorial Union was buzzing with food and cultural activity, unlike a typical Saturday morning on a college campus. The International Food Fair took place Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. Twelve international student associations served

food from their nations and cultures. Entry for the event was $3 and tickets for food were $1 with each group designating a certain amount of tickets for the food they made. A variety of nations and continents were represented including Africa, Asia Pacific and Asia America, Malaysia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.

An even larger variety of food was served at the event. The African Students Association served its infamous lime cake and the Vietnamese International Students Association at Iowa State University had a line throughout the entire event for its coveted threecolor dessert. Other popular dishes at the fair included a variety of rice options, tea and sushi.

ZENKO p1 of GPSS. “There’s been a lot of growth in the past couple of years and rather than continue the growth for the sake of growth, I think focusing on quality and establishing well what we already do should be a focus,” Zenko said. Zenko wants to ensure GPSS is continuing to stay effective as it grows in size. “The Senate will have its priorities and we’re certainly willing to help with that, but I think it would be healthy to focus on doing well what we already do,” Zenko said. Zenko said he also hopes the Senate decides to revisit the discussion of representation within the Senate. Current representation is based on academic departments, which is problematic when smaller disciplines do not belong to one particular department, Zenko said. “We have to disappoint a lot of people now by fol-

lowing our constitution,” Zenko said. “Some people cannot be senators because they don’t have a ‘home’ department.” Zenko will have to maintain a neutral position on issues presented at GPSS meetings, but hopes to continue to see, at least attempted, improvement of current policies. As vice president, Zenko was the chair of the rules committee and helped organize socials and new graduate student

orientations in the fall and spring. Zenko was also in charge of running GPSS meetings. With graduate studies and continuing to serve as vice president, Zenko has begun to make preparations for his new title. Mukherjee and Zenko have started to meet to plan the hand-over of responsibility and plan to do so intermittently as needed. Zenko has also met with Craig Ogilvie, the assistant dean of the graduate col-

lege, and plans to meet with the provost every month as needed. “Zach will be well suited for the position by April,” Mukherjee said after the election process ended. “I look forward to passing my knowledge onto him over the next month.” Elections took place at the last meeting, and Zenko is not the only one who will have held more than one executive position. Cory Kleinheksel, who was the Professional Advancement Grant chair, will take Zenko’s place as vice president, and has served in every executive position except treasurer. “I’m very pleased to work with the next executive council,” Zenko said. “We’re all very experi enced.” According to the Senate’s constitution, Zenko will begin his presidency the day after the last GPSS meeting of the semester, which will take place at 7 p.m. Monday in 1952 Gilman Hall.

Cherish the rights granted by the First Amendment

THE FIRST AMENDMENT Work hard to protect our most crucial rights Gene Policinski is chief operating officer of the Newseum Institute and senior vice president of the First Amendment Center. He will be the keynote speaker at 7 p.m. Monday in Curtiss Hall Auditorium during Iowa State University’s First Amendment Day celebration.

he “blue collar” amendment in the Bill of Rights is hard at work today – again. You may not think of the First Amendment in working terms. More likely, you don’t think of it at all – or if you do, it’s associated with harpsichord music and Colonial times. But while all 10 of the amendments in the Bill of Rights are concerned with our rights, it’s the First Amendment that defines the core freedoms most used on a daily basis – and which most define who we are as “the Land of the Free.” We wake with those freedoms in the morning when we catch that sunrise news program on TV, the news break on radio while we ride to work, or when we check our mobile phones for breaking news updates or tweets from friends. We use it when we don’t worry about e-mailing a note to someone, or posting a political comment on social media, or making the satirical remark during a cell phone conversation, or just chatting with someone whose beliefs are not as widely shared as others. We don’t worry that any of that will bring a draconian knock on the door at home in the middle of the night – or worse. But around the world, millions of people do worry. They don’t have a First Amendment shield against government repression, censorship or imprisonment. Since 1997, the Newseum Institute’s First Amendment Center has conducted an annual nationwide survey about how Americans feel about their First Amendment freedoms. The survey through the years show that Americans are not up to speed about their basic freedoms, that fear of terrorism has deeply affected this nation, but also that we hold precious our core freedoms as a means of national “self-correction” when we see that need. Typically, only 5 out of 100 of us can even name the five freedoms in the First Amendment. It’s been as low as 1 out of 100, and in any given year about onethird of us cannot name any. So take a little quiz right now. (Obviously, we’re on the hon-

or system here.) Question one: What are the five freedoms in the First Amendment? Did you POLICINSKI say: religion, speech, press, assembly and petition? Question two: Does the First Amendment go too far in the rights it guarantees? The first question tests basic knowledge. The results for the nation during the past 18 years are shockingly low – but the argument is made that after nearly 225 years after ratification of the Bill of Rights, most of us “know” them even if we cannot formally name them. But the second question tests our commitment to freedom – and in some years we have failed there too. The 2002 survey found 49 percent of us thought we had too much liberty – that was about eight months after the “9/11” attacks. While that response was much higher than the annual average, a smaller yet dramatic rise occurred after the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013. What brings about this willingness by many to exchange big chunks of liberty for what we may believe is a bit more safety? I believe it’s fear, which has driven this nation in the past to acts and actions that we later rejected as stains on the flag of freedom. In just the past century, we’ve experienced the “Red Scare” deportations and prison sentences during and after World War I; internment of innocent Japanese-Americans during World War II; the excesses of McCarthyism in the 1950s; the illegal surveillance activities of government in the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s against civil rights leaders, anti-war protesters and political opponents. Lest you think such was all in the past, consider the improper and quite likely illegal search and seizure of Associated Press telephone data in 2014, in what appears to have been little more than a fishing expedition by federal authorities chasing down what they said were national security “leaks.” Another factor in the lack of knowledge and support of First Amendment freedoms is that we don’t teach much about them or the Constitution in the depth once thought necessary. As it happens some students

in the Denver area last year taught us all about the First Amendment by practicing it. They assembled and petitioned the local school board to reject a proposal to “sanitize” their Advanced Placement history classes by eliminating references to parts of our history that were not positive enough, or sugar-coating those issues. It seems that they won – for now. When President Bush addressed the nation in 2001 just days after the cowardly “9/11” attacks, he cautioned us that “freedom and fear are at war.” He noted that the terrorists targeted the United States because we embrace liberty. “The terrorists hate our freedoms: our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other,” the president told us. [I’m sure he meant to include freedom of the press!] Ironically, at the very time our lives were threatened by lawless thugs who hate our way of life, Americans were more willing than ever to give up freedoms that other people in the world are ready to die for. The Founding Fathers risked both life and liberty in a very real way in the pursuit of democracy and freedom. We must pick up their challenge to use our core freedoms to make this a better nation. The good news is that freedom works. From unfettered news coverage of the civil rights movement that touched a nation’s conscience 50 years ago, to the power of vocal protests in Ferguson, Mo., and elsewhere today about modern-day bigotry, the power of First Amendment freedoms is on display – and at work. Faith-based differences are in the headlines, but those issues are being addressed in courts and in the court of public opinion, not with the weapons and brutality elsewhere in the world. And even as we struggle with our differences, this nation welcomes and protects all faiths in an increasingly pluralistic society. The nation’s Founders had an abiding belief that the core freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly and petition were not simply part of the constitutional means to construct a democratic republic, but the workmanlike tools that would sustain it. Our obligation as citizens, having been handed those tools by earlier generations, is to get back to work on preserving, protecting and practicing them.

Make theater more accessible, affordable On Thursday, I attended one of the sold-out performances of ISU Theatre’s production of “Les Miserables.” The show was, in my opinion, more enjoyable than the last touring production of “Les Miz” that I saw. We are a lucky university to have the students, staff and facilities to do justice to such a blockbuster favorite. It was a fitting celebration of

100 years of ISU Theatre, and also of the spirit of Veishea. Perhaps even more exciting than the show was the number of young people in attendance. Most of the audience had not been born when “Les Miz” hit Broadway. Why does it take a household-name musical to get students to flock to the theatre? What barrier did the popularity of this show overcome? My guesses: convenience and money. In the age of Amazon, Netflix, and iTunes instant rentals,

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

By Mat Wymore, Ph.D. student in wind energy science, engineering and policy

Today is First Amendment Day, a time to celebrate the five freedoms guaranteed to everyone by the First Amendment. To honor our freedom of speech and of the press, the Editorial Board chose to redact today’s editorial on the First Amendment to show what might happen without these rights.

getting an advance ticket to any show at the Iowa State Center is a painful process. The box office is only open during times when most people who aren’t retired have daily commitments, like class and work. Additionally, the only way tickets are close to affordable for students is using the student price, which requires the presence of every student who wants to sit together, or at least their IDs. Of course, the solution for the modern student is to buy online, but financially, that

turns out to be even worse. My recent experiences have shown no way to purchase a student ticket online and the online handling fees are outrageous. For a student, purchasing online can easily be twice as expensive as purchasing in person. The university and the Iowa State Center need to figure out a better, more affordable way for students to attend live theater, especially that is presented by university organizations in the university’s facilities.

IN FULL SWING Senior leads men’s golf to first team victory since 2011 season By Mike.Randleman @iowastatedaily.com

Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily

Senior Sam Daley works on his swing during practice Tuesday. Daley finished second at the Hawkeye-Great River Entertainment Invitational in Iowa City on Sunday, helping Iowa State finish first in the tournament.

For a team searching for its first victory since 2011, the ISU men’s golf team would have taken a win wherever it could have found one. To beat an in-state rival in the process only sweetened the deal for No. 42 Iowa State on Sunday. The Cyclones broke a 1,267-day winless spell by posting a 17-under-par total of 847 to finish five shots ahead of No. 77 Idaho and six ahead of No. 42 Iowa at the Hawkeye-Great River Entertainment Invitational in Iowa City. “It adds a little bit of importance,” said senior Sam Daley of winning in Iowa City. “The rivalry’s obviously richer than a golf game, too, but the Hawkeyes have some nice guys on the team that we’re friends with because we’ve seen them so much. Even though we’re

friends, it’s still nice to beat their bums.” Iowa State’s victory was of the traditional 54-hole variety, unlike its win at the 2011 Bridgestone Golf Collegiate, which was cut short at 36 holes due to inclement weather. “When we found out we won [in 2011], we were all ecstatic and stuff, but I think this one’s more special,” Daley said. “The group we have here is pretty special to me and to Iowa State golf. We also beat Iowa in the final round at their course and we learned we we’re good enough to win with this team.” Daley, who has surged at the end of the season with a pair of runner-up finishes, was at the core of Iowa State’s victory. After a three-over-par stretch in his first 11 holes in round one, Daley carded only one bogie in his final 43 holes. His turnaround culminated in a bogie-free final round of 6-under-par

66, which vaulted him to second place for the tournament at 9 under par. Another player who not only knows Finkbine Golf Course but has had success there, is fellow senior Scott Fernandez. The Spaniard has had machine-like consistency at this event, placing no worse than fifth in his career in Iowa City after tying for fourth place at 6 under par this year. “I’m not sure that it’s necessarily the course,” said ISU coach Andrew Tank on Fernandez’ performances in Iowa City. “It just says a lot about Scott’s abilities as a player. I think there’s always a little motivation to play well against your instate rival. He’s just risen to the occasion every year to do that.” Sophomore Ruben Sondjaja missed last year’s event with appendicitis, but made a splash in his Iowa City debut. He struggled in the final round with a 74, but rounds of 69 and 70 on day one were enough to place Sondjaja in a tie for 10th at the tournament’s end. With three Cyclones in

the top 10 for the first time this season, Iowa State received a near complete performance and had at least one qualifying score contributed by all five starters. Though this week was a breakthrough for Iowa State in terms of notching a victory, Tank said his team’s performance at the Arizona State Thunderbird Invitational on April 4 was where he began to see his team hit its stride. Iowa State ran up against a buzzsaw in falling to No. 3 Arizona State on its home course, but took runner-up against a field filled with NCAA tournament teams. “A lot of it depends on who you’re competing against,” Tank said. “I thought we played pretty solid at Arizona State and we finished second. This week we came out on top. Some of it’s out of our control, but it’s definitely a nice way to finish off the season before we head to the Big 12 Championship.” The Big 12 Championship, Iowa State’s next event, is set for April 27 to 29 in Tulsa, Okla., at Southern Hills Golf Country Club.

Tennis picks up senior day win By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com As seniors Caroline Andersen, Meghan Cassens and Ksenia Pronina received their gifts Saturday, it finally hit them that the match would be their last at home as Cyclones. Even with emotions running high, the seniors were able to lead the ISU tennis team to a win against Augustana. After loosing 4-0 at home against Oklahoma

State on Friday, the Cyclones experienced more luck the following day in a 7-0 sweep against Augustana, the No.1 ranked Division II school. The team’s performances provide hope for the coaches entering the Big 12 tournament. “The seniors did their job on Saturday against Augustana and that’s what we expect from them,” said ISU coach Armando Espinosa. “We expect them to lead by example and that’s what they did this weekend.”

The seniors went 2-1 in doubles and 3-0 in singles against Augustana. Pronina believes this type of energy is what the team needs before the Big 12 tournament begins. Espinosa said the team needs to focus on doubles and the health of each player. Junior Alejandra Galvis is the only one injured on the team after suffering an apparent knee injury during the Oklahoma State match on Friday. The injury prevented

her from competing in the match against Augustana. As for the season, Iowa State finished eighth in the Big 12 standings with a conference record of 2-7 and an overall record of 8-14. Iowa State will play Kansas State in the opening round of the Big 12 tournament on Thursday. Iowa State defeated Kansas State in the regular season this year, but that doesn’t matter to the team with the Big 12 tournament in sight.

Senior Ksenia Pronina returns a serve during her singles match against No. 10 Oklahoma State on Friday in Ames. The Cyclones lost to Oklahoma State, but defeated Augustana on Saturday during senior day.

MAKING THE GRADE ISU walk-on capitalizes on opportunities

MITCHELL HARGER

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com For any walk-on, the road to earning playing time on Saturdays in the fall is that much harder than a scholarship player. But running back Mitchell Harger is getting his chance, and he isn’t going to let it go to waste. Harger, a redshirt junior from Alburnett, Iowa, joined the Cyclones in 2012 for one reason and one reason only: he just loved football. “I’m a small town Iowa kid that loves to play football,” Harger said. “I just want to show everyone in the state of Iowa that it doesn’t matter where you come from, you can still make it to the big leagues.”

No. 22 POSITION: Running back YEAR: Redshirt Junior HOMETOWN: Alburnett, Iowa QUICK HITS: • Named the Iowa Class 1A Player of the Year after his senior year • Rushed for 2,716 yards and 40 touchdowns at Alburnett High School • Walked on at Iowa State in 2012 • Played in four games in 2014, recording two tackles Korrie Bysted/Iowa State Daily

Harger left Alburnett High School as the Iowa Class 1A Player of the Year after rushing for more than 2,700 yards and 40 touchdowns. Upon joining the Cyclones, however, he has encountered difficulties getting to the field. Last season, Harger began to get a glimpse of hope. He played in four games in 2014, mainly for special teams, and recorded two tackles. But this spring, coach-

es have started to see improvement from Harger. They quickly moved him to running back and started giving him reps with the second-team offense. And at a running back position that is hurting for players, Harger’s arrival couldn’t have come at a better time. Earlier in the spring, sophomore running back Martinez Syria fell to injury, leaving redshirt sophomore Tyler Brown and redshirt freshman Mike Warren

competing for the top spot at the position. So in comes Harger with the second-team offense, giving him the opportunity he has been waiting for. “I couldn’t be happier,” Harger said. “I was just kind of waiting for my chance to shine. I knew I’d take advantage of it when it came.” Harger got another chance to shine last week-

end when Iowa State hosted its annual spring game. Harger, who ran mostly with the second-team offense, recorded 13 carries for 42 yards, the second highest on the team. But when the 2015 season arrives in the fall, offensive coordinator Mark Mangino said he doesn’t know how much Harger will actually see the field. But for Mangino, one thing is certain — he’s hap-

py Harger is on his football team. “Mitch Harger is just an overachiever. He’s a great kid to have on your team,” Mangino said. “He tries hard and makes some runs. He’s not the fastest guy we have, but sometimes he’ll pick his way and put his pads down. … He’s a good guy to have on your team because he’s a good example of a guy who really cares about playing.”

Open All Day

ISU volleyball’s spring season is all about improving, and the weekend provided another step in that process. The spring season made its way to Ames during the weekend for the annual Iowa State Spring Tournament, which featured five teams in five, two-set matches. The Cyclones were coming in hot, having won all 10 of their sets in the Northern Iowa tournament on April 11 and taking three of four sets in Iowa City on April 4. The Cyclones continued that streak and took seven sets of the 10 they played in the tournament, but for head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch, her team’s play was “average.” “There were stretches

where I thought that we were really good and there were individuals that were good for stretches,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I don’t know if I can say that there was anyone that was good all day, and that’s what we’re trying to get to.” One aspect that wasn’t average for Iowa State was the team’s serving, notching 28 service aces on the day. The team had multiple aces in the final game against North Dakota State on its way to 25-19 and 2514 wins. Ciara Capezio and Monique Harris each had two aces in a row at one point in the game to boost the count. Newcomer Grace Lazard was impressed of the team’s serving. “Our serving [was] very strong,” Lazard said. “We are a very good serving team. If everyone can get

RIGHTS p1 other for more than 40 years. After graduating from Ball State University, Policinski found a job at a small paper in Marion, Ind. He eventually worked his way up to a position as a bureau reporter at the Indiana Statehouse, and four years later he found himself reporting on Congress and the Reagan Administration in Washington, D.C. “Two years after I was there we had this kind of funny thing. Anyone who wanted to volunteer for this project, which didn’t have a name,” Policinski said. “Well, it turned out to be USA Today.” Policinski said he’d been around long enough to know Washington, D.C.,

but not long enough to be tied into doing things the way they had always been done. He believes that was why the publishers offered him the opportunity to be a founding editor. Policinski jumped from the Washington desk to Page One after a few months, eventually making his way to the sports desk where the USA Today was ahead of the curve. They were the first to give equal space to men’s and women’s national polls and compile data and statistics on cd’s available for subscription. After Freeman moved on in 1989 Policinski took over as sports editor, a job he held until 1996 when he was offered a position at the Freedom Forum, a nonpartisan foundation based

ing out.” Schools have been at the center of many First Amendment debates and court cases. Policinski said we increasingly see courts siding on the side of the educators in the name of safety. “The message to students is really ‘sit down and shut up until you graduate, we’re the experts, we know what you should say and think’ and that’s not the First Amendment, which is the marketplace of ideas and a certain amount of chaos, frankly,” Policinski said. The advent of social media has raised concern about defamation, libel and threatening speech law. Policinski said he thinks the problems will be worked out in time. “We sometimes worry

think and to use your freedoms the way our founders intended — which was to make this a better country,” Policinski said. A common misconception is that the First Amendment gives people the right to say whatever they would like without repercussions. With a few exceptions, it protects from the government punishing an individual or group for speech. Free speech does not mean consequence-free speech. “I have a right to say what I want, but it doesn’t mean it’s consequence free. The founders wanted consequences, they wanted things to change as a result of speech,” Policinski said. “You’re not just shouting out to an empty room. There’s some risk at times to speak-

in Washington, D.C., that champions the First Amendment as a cornerstone of democracy. Policinski took his current position as COO of the Newseum Institute, an outreach program of Freedom Forum and the Newseum in Washington, D.C The First Amendment Today The First Amendment has stood the test of time in America, but that doesn’t mean there are not challenges ever erupting on the scene. The Newseum Institute’s goal is to inform and educate the public in order to promote new and better ways of doing things. “Our goal is not to tell you what to think, unlike a lot of organizations. But to say that you not only have a right, but an obligation to

too much about social media,” Policinski said. “They were worried about the telephone a hundred years ago. Every new medium seems to frighten people first when they see how it’s used.” The First Amendment guarantees freedom of the press, which has been called the Fourth Estate. A watchdog over those in power to secure the rights of all. An informed electorate is required for democracy to function. “Our founder said we have to protect speech strongly because we want people to speak out strongly. We want a free press because we expect that press to be vigourous and vital, and at times to make people in government uncomfortable,” Policinski said.

PLAY TOGETHER, STAY TOGETHER As one of the fittest campuses in the nation, the Iowa State community is more than aware of the personal benefits that a healthy lifestyle can Guest column: have. Hannah Marsh, H o w Personal trainer and marketing for Recreation Services ever, many don’t realize the numerous advantages that physical activity can have on a relationship, as well. Not convinced? Here are a few reasons why staying active with your significant other can have more than just physical benefits.

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP ADVICE: COUPLES WHO PLAY TOGETHER, STAY TOGETHER By Emily.Barske @iowastatedaily.com Being active is essential to a healthy life, but also to a healthy relationship. Whether it is group fitness or wellness activities as a couple, being active together helps build an even healthier relationship. Daily Daters got the chance to go on multiple

recreational dates. Eric and Leah enjoyed getting to know each other on sporting dates. “Both of us are really into athleticism and sports and that type of thing, so we definitely bonded over that,” Leah said. For one of their dates, they rented bikes from Rec Services and rented a tent to go camping at Ledges for another date. Eric said these

dates were a nice getaway. Then, during Greek We e k t h e y h a d a n u n planned date during the Treds Tournament. “In Greek Week, during Treds, I believe she swatted one of my passes,” Eric said. “I didn’t even realize it at the time, I was too much in the zone.” Find out more about their experience competing against each other below.

ERIC & LEAH

WHAT DID YOU LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF? Leah: “I learned that I am pretty competitive as well.”

DESCRIBE THE EXPERIENCE: Leah: “It was fun because Eric is really competitive and my team won... :)” Eric: “Her team beat mine and sadly we were eliminated from the tournament.” WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE DATE? Leah: “I have bragging rights since my team won.” Eric: “I wouldn’t really call it a date. It was more of an interaction of sorts.”

YOU GET TO BE EACH OTHER’S NUMBER ONE FAN

Having someone there who understands the road you’re taking and to support you in the ups and downs of fitness can be an incredible way to build trust and support in a relationship. It gives each partner an opportunity to be the encourager as well as the one who needs encouraging, and by sharing these roles, the relationship can be taken to a whole new level.

IMPROVE YOUR WORKOUTS

Psychological research has shown that having someone else there can affect your ability to exercise. Even just the presence of your significant other can improve your speed and performance without you even consciously realizing it!

SHAKE UP YOUR DATE NIGHT

You’ve heard time and time again that boredom is a relationship-killer, so what better way to switch things up than trying a new fitness class, training for a local 5k or even going on an outdoor recreation trip together? The excitement and feeling of accomplishment that you’ll have together after trying something new can definitely strengthen the bond of your relationship! Always remember that an active lifestyle doesn’t have to mean sweating it out day after day in the gym. Whether it’s having a spotting buddy, taking a daily walk, going on a hike or training for a 5k together, being active with your significant other is a fun and healthy way to keep the romance alive!

Visit 30DailyDates.com to get to know the Daily Daters, follow along on their dates and learn about the date locations.

HOMELESS p1 Church parking ramp. However, Shari Reilly, campus ministry director for St. Thomas Aquinas Church, said this seemed appropriate considering what the homeless go through. “You don’t have control over the weather or environment, which is part of living homeless,” Reilly said. “Even here, they can’t turn the lights off.” As part of the event, ISU basketball player Daniel Edozie came to speak

about the experiences he encountered growing up homeless with his mother as they travelled from city to city, trying to scrounge out a living. “We slept in a park till it was 4 in the morning until I had to go to school,” Edozie said, speaking on one of his most vivid memories while living homeless. Edozie’s story has become popular throughout the sports world, with publications from Sports Illustrated to USA Today writing about his journey from a boy living on the

streets to a graduating college basketball player at Iowa State. The college graduate said he sees this event as an opportunity to share with people what it’s like to live homeless. “Nobody can really relate to it until you put yourself in that situation where you have nothing,” Edozie said. However, Edozie also said he believes his story is meant to inspire people to keep a positive attitude about their lives, no matter how hard it gets.

“Ten years ago I was a kid with my head down low and now I’m a man with my head held high,” Edozie said. Throughout the night, students huddled around and talked or played games in the corridors of the parking ramp as the rain continued to poor outside. Most of all, though, they reflected on the things they had and the things many others didn’t. “Kids don’t know how to appreciate things when everything is given to them,” Edozie said.
