The streets that received damage include Delaware, Idaho, Phoenix, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Garfield, Somerset, Diamond, Crystal, Southdale, Jewel, Garnet and Florida. Police are currently leaving cards on unreported cars that they believe could have sustained damage due to the vandalisms, Shelton said. Shelton encourages anyone with vehicle damage, particularly from the last 12 hours, to report it to the police at (515) 239-5133.

More than 20 cases of vehicle vandalism were reported in Ames on Sunday. The streets the cars were parked on include Delaware, Idaho, Phoenix, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Garfield, Somerset, Diamond, Crystal, Southdale, Jewell, Garnet and Florida.

Putting it all out there Models discuss posing nude for drawing co-op By Ashley.Green @iowastatedaily.com

The co-op is a professional setting, with the intent to keep models relaxed. Those who participate have little interaction with

sually, standing in front of a class naked is a tyical nightmare for students — but for some at Iowa State, it’s their chosen day job. This is a figure drawing class. The ISU Biological/Pre-Medical Illustration Club hosts a weekly drawing co-op “in order for students to build their portfolios for medical illustration graduate school,” according to its website. The co-op, located in Room 240 of the College of Design building, is available to ISU students for $3, and faculty and non-students for $5. Live models in the co-op hold a pose for two hours every Thursday. Immediately upon entering the room, the first thing seen is a model bearing it all, likely watching him or herself in a wall-sized mirror. Easels are scattered throughout, and artists are furiously marking their paper. Music is played to lighten the mood, and someone from the BPMI Club stands in throughout the session. It’s highly recommended that students in the College of Design dabble in figure drawing, especially those studying BPMI, like freshman Ingrid Lickiss. The co-op offers extensive practice in proportions, as each model is an entirely different subject from the last. “As somebody who wants to draw a lot of bodies in their life, it’s nice to be able to practice those proportions, gettings things right, just working and shading skin tones, variations and shadows,” Lickiss said. Lickiss not only participates in figure drawing studios, she models for them.

models, who typically don’t talk to the crowd unless they have friends participating. “When you have a mindset, especially biological illustrators, it’s just not awkward,” Lickiss said. “You’re a subject now, like I don’t feel like I’m naked, I feel like I’ve become a subject in a way.” Lickiss was once

told that the best way to take free art classes is to become a model for them. Being a BPMI major, Lickiss interacts with people who have drawn her on a regular basis, including her professors. Most of the time, she’s able to be casual about it, but there are times when things get weird, like after one of her sessions when she and one of the artists took the same walk home. “We just didn’t talk,” Lickiss said. “It was too soon.” Lickiss doesn’t like seeing the artwork afterward, although some models enjoy seeing what they consider to be a different version of themselves. Artists, including a professor, have shown her the finished products, which Lickiss finds “exposing” but she can still see the beauty in the pieces. Not every model has personal ties with the College of Design; William Franke is a freshman in kinesiology and health. Lickiss told Franke, a good friend, about the $20 per hour that models are paid, which was intriguing enough for him to try it out. The idea that college is the time to branch out and try new things cemented Franke’s decision to model. Unlike Lickiss, Franke found the experience to initially be uncomfortable. “It’s your first time standing in front of a bunch of people naked while they

Printing policy to charge students 5 cents per page By Jeanette.VanZomeren @iowastatedaily.com A new printing credit policy that will change the way students are allocated printing credits will be implemented at Iowa State in the fall. All students will have 500 printing credits no matter which printer they use. Students currently have a set limit of printing credits depending on what college they belong to. Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences have 500 printing credits, while students in the College of Design have 1,000 printing credits. Some printers in certain buildings on campus use more credits per page than others. The new policy will “standardize the cost of black and white printing for all students in all departments in the colleges,” said Jim Kurtenbach, interim vice president and chief information officer in information technology services. Kurtenbach has been working with Provost Jonathan Wickert and Student Government to implemen the policy. The standardized printing cost will be 5 cents per page anywhere on campus, amounting to 100 pages that could be printed, “All [the policy] does is revise what used to be called the printing credits, so departments in

colleges used to set their own printing credit quota, and what this does is standardize the cost of printing,” Kurtenbach said, adding that it is quite possible that the term printing credits will go away altogether. Printing credits standardization was one of Student Government President Cole Staudt’s main points when running for presidency. “I’m in the [College of Liberal Arts and Sciences], and there’s been times in my six semesters now that I get halfway through the semester and run out of printing credits because I’m expected to print a lab report or some other materials on a

weekly basis and I just don’t have enough printing credits,” Staudt said. “I think it’s pretty dumb...that we aren’t giving students enough printing credits to make it through the semester.” Members of Student Government also took into consideration what the student body addressed. “It’s a great example of Student Government identifying an issue that is of concern to students and then bringing it up and working with university administration,” Wickert said. Students who will return to Iowa State in the fall can expect an equal printing credit cost all across campus.

draw everything,” Franke said. “It’s definitely a little bit disorienting.” Franke’s worst fear while modeling is to make eye contact with someone or to look into the crowd and see someone he knows. To prevent having his fear become reality, Franke spends the two hours trying not to focus on the crowd, instead choosing to “go away for a while.” Franke is in the pre-physician’s assistant program and will spend most of his time dealing with other people’s bodies in his field. Modeling is a good way for Franke to become more confident with his own body.

“It’s a little ironic if I’m so comfortable with helping other people’s bodies, yet I’m not even comfortable with my own skin,” Franke said. Franke isn’t bothered when he runs into people who have drawn him; he said it’s something that happens quite a bit on campus. It’s only weird when those people try to talk to him about it. In fact, Franke considers that the worst part of the experience. Travis Hattery, graduate student in molecular cellular and developmental biology, had no plans to

NOvA explores space By Derek.Clayton @iowastatedaily.com The only way for there to ever be enough antimatter in the cosmos as matter would be through the total annihilation of the universe. While this is not the case, it leads to one of the greatest mysteries in the formation of our universe. The answer to why there is more matter than antimatter is unknown, but ISU researchers are on the case, hoping their recent experiments will shed some light on what happened near the beginning of the universe. “The universe, as we understand it today, is completely dominated by matter,” said Mayly Sanchez, associate professor of physics and astronomy. “So something must have happened between the Big Bang and us that made the asymmetry between matter and antimatter happen.” Sanchez and her team believe a certain fundamental particle may be to blame — the neutrino. Neutrinos are numerous, tiny, neutral particles that hardly interact with the environment around them. They have three types: muon, electron and tau. As neutrinos travel, they may turn into another type of neutrino in an event called neutrino oscillation, which Sanchez and her team emphasize in their study. Studying neutrino oscillation is a step toward understanding neutrinos and possibly linking them to the reason for the tip in the balance between matter and

antimatter. This is where the NOvA experiment comes into play. The giant system spans from Fermilab in Chicago to northern Minnesota. A beam of neutrinos is shot out from Fermilab to a detector in Minnesota that stands as the largest plastic structure in the world. The detector has the ability to pick up on signals that inform scientists when neutrino oscillation occurs. “What we do is analyze the data from the detectors to let us understand the properties of neutrinos better,” said Erika Catano, graduate assistant in physics and astronomy who works with Sanchez. The detector is made up of numerous plastic cells arranged in vertical and horizontal positions. The cells are filled with mineral oil and a light-emitting substance known as a scintillator. When particles go through the cells, the scintillator produces light. The light ends up at a photodetector and is converted into a readable electronic signal. Sanchez and her team then analyze the results to uncover the secrets of neutrinos — secrets they hope will reveal some of the earlier processes in the universe. Some scientists believe heavier types of neutrinos once existed, but are no longer present. Unraveling the vast secrets of the universe is no easy task. “To study neutrinos today gives us an answer, or at least a hint as to how things happened in the beginning of the universe,” Sanchez said.

Dean Sarah Rajala awarded engineer of the year award By Andria.Homewood @iowastatedaily.com Sarah Rajala, dean of the College of Engineering, was named national engineer of the year by the American Association of Engineering Societies (AAES). “AAES is a multidisciplinary organization of engineering societies dedicated to advancing the knowledge, understanding, and practice of engineering,” according to the AAES website. “AAES member societies represent the mainstream of U.S. engineering — engineers in industry, government, and academia.”

Rajala was recognized at a ceremony April 18 in Washington, D.C., for her service in leadership at the institutional, national and international level, her innovations in engineering education and assessment and her efforts to promote diversity in the engineering field. She accomplished this by revising the College of Engineering’s strategic plan and establishing a diversity advisory council to improve success rates of students of color and women, according to her biography. Rajala earned her bachelor’s degree from Michigan Technological University

and her master’s and Ph.D. from Rice University. Rajala joined the ISU community in 2013 after serving as the dean of the Bagley College of Engineering at Mississippi State University. She has also been a distinguished professor and center director, and has had numerous leadership positions. She is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, former president of the American Society for Engineering Education, a fellow of the the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers and a chair for the Global Engineering Dean’s Council.

GPSS to host last meeting Senate to nominate new members, discuss resolution By Rakiah.Bonjour @iowastatedaily.com The Graduate and Professional Student Senate will meet Monday in the South Ballroom of the Memorial Union for its last meeting of the 2015-16 school year. The Senate has two items of importance on the agenda slated to be discussed: nominating new Senate members for next year and a resolution to allow graduate students to display their academic regalia. Senators George Weston and Ashton Archer support the nomination of Humair Ahmed Qureshi and Danielle Chitty. Chitty and Qureshi, according to the Senate order, meet the requirements to become a GPSS senator and have expressed interest in filling two of the three

empty seats on the Senate for next year. As the current ISU policy reads, graduating masters students are not permitted to wear hoods as part of their academic regalia during graduation. GPSS has devised a resolution it plans to vote on and send forth to ISU President Steven Leath, Senior Vice President and Provost Jonathan Wickert, Associate Provost and Dean of Graduate College David Holger, the Graduate Council and more. The resolution states other institutions do allow their graduating master’s students to display hoods and that hoods are a part of “symbolic importance of academic regalia.” GPSS recognizes the value in celebrating academic excellence and sees the display of hoods as a part of that

celebration. GPSS will also vote on a number of allocation bills, including one to allow funds for the fall field trip for the Geology Graduate Student Organization and another to fund the Natural Resources & Ecology Management Graduate Student Organization. As the year comes to a close, the meeting also stands to recognize its outstanding members and their contributions throughout the past year. GPSS can look forward to a possible resolution to its constitutional amendment concerning representation and a change to graduate students’ rights and responsibilities thanks to the leadership seen from the current council and can look forward to a new form of leadership for the upcoming year.

FEELING HELPLESS Students reflect on impact of Ecuadorian earthquake

By Jessica.Enwesi @iowastatedaily.com Towering buildings turned to mounds of rubble; vehicles flattened under the weight of fallen freeways; children pulled from wreckage that were once their homes. Those were just some of the images that captured the devastation that has engulfed Ecuador during the past week. When April 16’s magnitude-7.8 earthquake leveled and shook the ground in the northwestern region of Ecuador, its effects was felt thousands of miles away by ISU Students. However, when aftershocks, with magnitudes (M) of 4.7 and 4.9, hit the same region Wednesday, this same feeling was amplified. Telephone and cellular services have been disrupted, according to reports, making the first 48 hours the hardest for Ecuadorian exchange students such as Betsa MantillaPerez, who tried to get ahold of loved ones. Mantilla-Perez, who is currently conducting research in plant breeding and genetics, is from Quito, the capital city of Ecuador. The city sits nearly 260 miles east from the epicenter of the earthquake in Musine, Ecuador. Although

An earthquake in Northwest Ecuador caused massive destruction, leveling structures and knocking out communication methods throughout the country. ISU exchange students in the region and Ecuadorian students in Iowa struggled to contact their families and check on their well-being.

260 miles may seem far, this earthquake’s vibrations were strong enough to cut off power to the capital as well. Mantilla-Perez was attending the African Night celebration when she received a call from her husband telling her that an earthquake had pummeled the northwest coast and registered at M 7.8. “That to me is equal to destruction,” Mantilla-Perez said. “I was trying to call my

parents but the cellphone signals and towers had collapsed. It was hard to reach them right away.” She, like many Ecuadorian students, was finally able to reach her family through instant messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook’s Check-In, which allows users to message and call each other using an internet connection. “I was thankful my family

Beans, beans the nutritional gold mine By Kendal.Gast @iowastatedaily.com For many, a sirloin steak is preferable over the equivalent in beans for their daily protein intake. However, for those who can’t afford meat, beans may be a respectable substitute. Donna Winham, assistant professor of food science and human nutrition, is trying to change society’s perception of the humble bean. At the intersection of nutrition and public health policy, part of Winham’s mission is educating the general public on proper diets, especially people with low incomes. “What I like to have happen with my research is to have people recognize that we can take the cultural practices people are already doing and amplify them instead of telling people they should do something different,” Winham said. Her most recent research included a survey conducted that was on a sample size of more than 400 low-income Latinas

in Maricopa County, Ariz. The objectives of the study were to determine awareness of bean health benefits for low-income women and to evaluate the differences in assimilation level, or how much the women have adjusted to life in the United States. “Beans are culturally familiar foods and are nutritional gold mines,” Winham said. “They can lower people’s risk of

heart attack, diabetes and some cancers. Beans and legumes are also gluten free.” Results of the survey indicated that slightly more than 60 percent of women surveyed agreed that beans can improve their nutritional intake and help them feel full.

Duchimaza, graduate student in chemistry, was also notified of the earthquake through social media. Although he felt a sense of relief that his family was safe, he could not ignore the fact that parts of his country has been destroyed.

As the body counts continued to climb past 500, as reported by CNN, and thousands of others have been labeled as missing, feelings of hopelessness are reeling among students, including Cristina Duran, who is also from Quito. “I feel like this is all very frustrating,” said Duran, senior in animal science. “Be-

Acceptance requirements create competition in College of Design By Ashley.Green @iowastatedaily.com Tensions are high in the College of Design, and students will soon submit the portfolios they’ve likely spent two semesters perfecting. Architecture, landscape architecture, graphic design, industrial design, integrated studio arts and interior design are all majors within the College of Design that require the submission of an application and a portfolio for acceptance into the programs. Each department has different requirements to be accepted, but to be considered for any of the six, students must have a 2.0 cumulative GPA and pass all core classes. Individual departments use an admission formula, portfolios, core GPA and an essay to calculate a score. Architecture and interior design also take high school performance into consideration.

Students have specific guidelines to follow when putting their portfolios together. Kits are sold at the University Bookstore. The portfolios should consist of 21 to 24 pages that students must attach their projects to with explanatory captions that will help reviewers understand the work. Because each portfolio is essentially the same, reviewers focus on the work included and how it is pre-

Some programs are more difficult to get into than others, mainly because of the amount of students applying and the amount of seats available. As a result, students usually list backup options on their applications. A select few students will not get into any of the programs because of the limited number of seats.

breaks and outside of class. To Hattery, modeling is only uncomfortable if the pose itself is uncomfortable. Poses are inspired by those seen in classical art and chosen by the professor or BPMI Club. People drawing Hattery occasionally talk about their drawings, which Hattery has learned to tune out. “They’ll talk about their drawings of you as if it’s you,” Hattery said. “You can’t be self-conscious at all, obviously, but even while they’re drawing they’ll be like, ‘Oh, the nose looks su-

per weird,’ and you can’t be like, ‘What’s wrong with my nose?’ because the way they’re drawing it is weird.” Hattery doesn’t find being nude in front of a crowd to be strange at all. “It’s hard for me to understand what would prevent someone from modeling,” Hattery said. “I don’t think that I have a perfect body and I don’t think you need a perfect body to do it.” None of the mentioned individuals have experienced any form of disrespect while modeling, and all of them considered it to be a

professional and relaxed space. An alternative to participating in figure drawing studios, whether it be classes or the co-op, is a website called artists.pixelovely.com. The website features models for figure drawing, hands and feet, animals and facial expressions. One drawback to the online practice is it’s not as good as the real thing. There’s a difference between drawing based on a photo and drawing a living human, mostly having to do with the depth you can see in person.

A notable portion of Hispanic dominant women also disagreed with questions that asked if eating beans could aid in weight loss, while very few English dominant women disagreed. These cultural findings suggest that the more assimilated a person or family is, the more likely they are to have knowledge of bean benefits. Lack of knowledge about nutrition can be found at

all levels of income status, including students at Iowa State. Rose Martin, senior lecturer in food science and human nutrition, points to the phrase, “You are what you eat.” “Be aware of your misconceptions,” Martin said. “That’s hard in nutrition because we have things on our mind that we never stop to think, ‘that could be wrong.’” Instead, Martin said society should change the

phrase to “we are not what we eat,” because students take the phrase too literally and think “I’m more muscle if I eat more protein” or “I am more fat if I eat more food fat.” ISU researchers and professors are striving to change the way the population thinks about nutrition by advocating for culturally relevant, enabling approaches rather than pointing out a potentially incorrect behavior.

go straight into the portfolio, work from DSN S 102 is mostly photographs. “The thing I’m worried about for 102 is sizes, like trying to make it look like one composition, getting all the pictures to flow really nicely on the page,” Benjamin said. Tyler Vincent, who is also a sophomore in pre-design, listed his first choice as ar-

chitecture. His backups are industrial design and graphic design. Vincent wouldn’t be “surprised or let down” if he didn’t make it into the architecture program because his high school GPA and class standing were both on the lower side. Vincent has spent about six hours putting his portfolio together. He added a

variety of good assignments and not-so-good assignments because it’s important for reviewers to know what someone’s “bad stuff” looks like. Benjamin said it would be beneficial for pre-design students in the future to “take pictures of their work as they’re doing process because process is very important.”

PSYCH MATTERS: Moving beyond racism at ISU Graduate student shares awakening to white privilege By Meredith Tittler Graduate student in psychology

he department of psychology wants to help build a more welcoming climate for racial and ethnic minority students, staff and faculty at Iowa State. One way in which we would like to demonstrate our commitment to reducing racism and discrimination is this editorial series. Over the past several months educational pieces on the psychology of racism and personal stories written by various faculty and students have be shared. Last time, Nathaniel Wade, professor of psychology, described his personal journey to understanding white privilege. Today, Meredith Tittler, graduate student in psychology, describes her own awakening to white privilege. Next time, we will begin a series of editorials written by undergraduate ISU students of color, who describe their experiences of coming to college at Iowa State. This series was edited by Stephanie Carrera, graduate student in psychology, and Carolyn Cutrona, professor and chair of psychology. --The first time I became really aware of my white privilege wasn’t until I was 28 and noticed something happening on Facebook and other social media. This was about a year ago when the Ferguson riots began. My Black/African-American friends on Facebook posted about the riots,

the police brutality that spurred the riots and the years of systemic practices that set our country up for a “boiling” point — they posted news stories, articles, videos and poetry all addressing these topics. My friends of color were passionate about these issues, they were angry about these issues, and these issues were the prominent thoughts in their minds and in their hearts. When they sat down at their computers, these issues were the first things they shared with the world. These friends of mine also participate in the “normal” activities defined by U.S. mainstream culture like my white friends do. A lot of them were or are in grad school, they’re buying houses, forming or ending relationships and going to this or that concert — but what was most important to them were these pressing issues of race. My white friends (myself included) continued to post on grad school, buying houses, going to concerts, etc. The riots in Ferguson were just another news item that, for the most part, would go unnoticed. This was the first time I had the thought, “well, that’s kind of screwed up.” White privilege had never been held in front of my face like that. It made me angry at myself, and it made me angry at my other white friends. Myself and other white friends of mine who are passionate about certain social-political issues like the environment or women’s reproductive health — who see ourselves as forward-thinkers and always trying to do the right thing — have been swimming through a sea of privilege of which I am only now becoming aware of. We have been able to choose the issues that feel most important to us. My friends of color cared about the riots erupting around the country not

because it seemed like a valid humanrights concern, but because they have always experienced what it means to be a person of color in a country built on the pillars of white privilege. They have not been able to choose their concerns. The fact that myself and other white people in this country can choose what we really care about is kind of screwed up, no? If one group of people has to worry about an issue, then shouldn’t we all worry about the issue? It seems immoral for us all not to care. I don’t know what specific first steps white individuals should take to help others become aware of the racial issues this country faces. For me, I think some of the first steps involve acknowledging the fact that I grew up in a town that was 98 percent white and that I was taught at a young age that everyone is “equal” (my early indoctrination that there are no “races” [i.e., colorblindness]). I didn’t live a multiracial reality where I had friends and peers who identified as people of color until my 20s and even then I have always been in the racial/ ethnic majority. In many ways, I am still ignorant. I have biases or prejudices of which I am not aware but that I am learning to identify. I will continue to say hurtful things and not be aware I’ve said them unless someone points them out. I will in many ways continue to take my white privilege for granted and forget to put myself in other’s shoes — but I am committed to learning how to do better while acknowledging that I will never fully get it. I am committed to engaging in tough conversations even though it may challenge me and push me out of my comfort zone. I will strive to forgive myself and others for our humanness while still looking for ways in which we can challenge ourselves to grow. I will hope you will join me in the process.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Putin’s Panama Papers response is baseless By Evan Abramsky Senior in political science The release of the Panama Papers by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) has resulted in public outrage around the world. A dozen leaders have been implicated in a trove of 11.5 million documents leaked from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca. One of the most widely reported revelations surrounds the shady business dealings of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle. According to the ICIJ’s report, approximately $2 billion was hidden in offshore accounts by Russian cellist Sergei Rodulgin and banker Yuri Kovalchuk (head of Bank Rossiya, a bank known to have deep ties to Putin’s inner circle). In response to such suspicious accounting practices, Putin has been on the defensive, saying the leak is nothing more than a Western-led smear campaign to divide Russia. Unfortunately, such accusations are not only baseless, but also contradict much of Kremlin’s own propaganda surrounding Western ties to Ukraine. Aside from enmeshing Moscow, the Panama Papers also directly implicate President of Ukraine and unscrupulous chocolate magnate Petro Poroshen-

Evan Abramsky argues that Vladimir Putin’s statements on the Panama Papers contradicts Kremlin’s propaganda surrounding Western ties to Ukraine.

ko. Prior to taking office in May 2014, Poroshenko, the oligarchic owner of Roshen, pledged to sell his confectionery empire. However, in August 2014, Roshen was placed into a shell company called Prime Asset Partners Ltd. owned entirely by Poroshenko in the British Virgin Islands (a well-known tax haven). The shell company may be illegal on two accounts, as it was started by Poroshenko while he was in office and it was never noted on his public tax disclosures. The president has maintained that the arrangement is legal and is managed entirely by a blind trust. As for his failure to sell Roshen, Poroshenko has stated that market conditions have made the process (conveniently) difficult; he remains the wealthiest head of state in Europe, worth an

estimated $858 million. The revelations surrounding Poroshenko’s offshore holdings certainly don’t stand to benefit his fledgling government, which has critically teetered on the verge of bankruptcy and political crisis for months, and lost significant support from the IMF and wider international community. Since the Maidan Revolution more than two years ago, Russian state-owned, crony-managed media has concocted a highly speculative conspiracy of American and European meddling in Kiev. The Kremlin’s vague and unsubstantiated narrative accuses the current Ukrainian administration of being a corrupt, neo-fascist regime, backed and funded by the imperialist West. Putin’s narrative in regard to the Panama Papers seems to

run counter to his oft-repeated fantasy about the nature of Kiev. If the papers were a Western attempt to destabilize the Russian government, why would the West also put Ukraine (its alleged puppet-state) in its crosshairs? For now, Putin does not appear to have addressed this glaring flaw in his account of the accusations. This contradictory explanation of recent events will be insufficient to protect Putin’s image in the long-run. Many Russians on social media have been quick to note that the Panama Papers reveal nothing new: everyone is aware of Putin’s corrupt inner network. As the Russian state buckles under the combined weight of Western sanctions, depressed oil prices and demographic decline, the Kremlin will find it increasingly difficult to maintain a consistent web of anti-Western propaganda. With legislative elections schedule for this fall, it’s likely that Moscow will have no choice but to step up its nationalistic, anti-liberal rhetoric. However, the more self-inflicted crises the Kremlin pins on the West, the more strained and unwieldy its theories will become. This is neither the first nor will it be the last of Moscow’s contradictory narratives. It won’t be long before Putin becomes tangled in his own gossamer.

Planned Parenthood serves great purpose The Iowa Legislature is set for a showdown on House File 2460, a House appropriations bill that would prevent organizations that provide abortions from receiving funds from Medicaid heath programs. The bill, which specifically targets Planned Parenthood, was approved by the Republican-controlled House on Wednesday. However, the Senate approved a $1.8 billion health and human services spending bill Friday that attempts to stricken such restrictions from becoming law. The issue will be brought to a House-Senate conference committee, where legislators will attempt to reach an agreement. The conflict is basically a rehashing of a near government shutdown in September 2015, when Republicans attempted to take the nation hostage in order to remove federal spending on Planned Parenthood. The argument for the defunding of Planned Parenthood comes from the idea that the government should not sponsor abortions. Since there are many people in this country who believe abortion is immoral, it’s fair to say that their tax money shouldn’t be spent on such a procedure. This would be an invaluable argument if not for one issue. It is already illegal in Iowa, and all but 17 states, to use Medicaid funding for abortion procedures. No evidence supports the notion that Planned Parenthood has violated this in any way. But this has not stopped the right-wing attempt to bring down one of the nation’s top providers of women’s health care. Planned Parenthood of the Heartland receives about 26 percent, or about $2.7 million, from state-sponsored Medicaid. As a whole, Planned Parenthood is responsible for 4.2 million STI test and treatment procedures, 270,000 Pap tests and 360,000 breast examines. It also provides education and outreach for about 1.5 million people every year. Only 3 percent of everything the organization does has anything to do with abortions, while 80 percent focuses on preventing unwanted pregnancies. But that doesn’t seem to matter to Republicans. Instead, our right-wing legislators would rather remove funding for an organization that seems to make it a priority to prevent the need for abortions. While the morality behind an abortion is up to one’s own interpretation, it is a legal procedure that should, by law, be available for women. The stigmatic nature of this legal procedure is only exemplified by the demonetization of an organization that provides countless necessary services for women. If a person is truly prolife, attempting to take away funding from an organization that prevents 579,000 unwanted pregnancies each year seems rather counterproductive.

Cepezio earns outside hitter spot on Team USA

By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com “Congrats.” That was the only word on a text message from volleyball’s new assistant coach Jen Malcom to senior Ciara Capezio. The only thing that was confusing for Capezio was that she didn’t know what the congratulations was for until she went online. Once Capezio checked Team USA’s volleyball website, she noticed her name on a list chosen to represent the United States in Italy on the U.S. Collegiate National Team. C a p e z i o , shocked and excited from the news, texted Malcom to say “Thank you” and began the process of calling family members. “A lot of phone calls that day to friends, family and past coaches,” Capezio said. “It was just an exciting moment for me and my family to see more opportunities that I couldn’t have imagined.” C a p e z i o

walked into the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Feb. 19, lucky to have the opportunity to try out with the best outside hitters in the country. Capezio was also happy to have a few of her teammates join her in the experience. These teammates included Caitlin Nolan, Samara West, Abby Phillips, Jess Schaben and Morgan Kuhrt. All of these players gained a higher knowledge and understanding of not only their position, but the game of volleyball as a whole. “It was nice to have teammates travel with me because we were able to experience all of these moments together,” Capezio said. Capezio was named to the U.S. Collegiate National Team on March 21 but won’t see any of her Team USA teammates until early July. Capezio said the team doesn’t practice together in the United States, but practices a few times before competition in Italy and Croatia in July. Some of the matches will take place from July 7 to 9 against Italy’s Federation Team in Milan, Italy. The rest of the matches will be against Croatia’s Junior National Team on July 11 to 14 in Pula, Croatia. Capezio’s team this summer is one of three U.S. Collegiate National Teams — one team travels to China and the other stays in the United States for the Junior National Championships. Capezio said she’s happy about being placed on the team going to Italy because she has experience in Europe.

“I played the Italian tinue this dream.

ISU softball plays with pride for heritage By Curran.McLaughlin @iowastatedaily.com HiThe word heritage can hold varying significance to different individuals. For ISU softball players Brittany Gomez, Nychole Antillon and Jackie Chairez, heritage is one of their defining characteristics. The three women are Hispanic players on the team, and all three have worked hard to be part of a select minority in collegiate softball. Only 9 percent of players in collegiate softball are Hispanic compared to 73.6 percent Caucasian in 2013-2014 across all three NCAA divisions, according to a study by the Institute of Diversity and Ethics and Sports. ISU coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler said she was surprised to hear those numbers compared to what she’s seen in her time coaching. “The areas that we recruit we see a lot of minorities play,” GemeinhardtCesler said. “I would be shocked if [the gap] doesn’t change significantly really quick.” Gemeinhardt-Cesler and her coaching staff often visit states like California and Texas as part of the recruiting process, two states that have more diverse populations than Iowa. The Cyclones currently have three Hispanic players on the team this season, five if you count half and quarter heritage. Gemeinhardt-Cesler made it a point that those players are here because of their skill, not the color of their skin. Gomez, a senior, saw her

skin color as a way to be noticed in the predominantly Caucasian population of Ames, Iowa. When Gomez joined the softball team for the 2013 season, she was the only Hispanic player on the roster. “It was kind of like, ‘Oh that one Hispanic girl,’ and that’s what I wanted to be known for,” Gomez said. “Even if you don’t remember my name, you remember at least a little bit more about me and then I can show you once we play you. You’ll remember me after that.” Gomez has made her case of being remembered. She has single-season and all-time records at Iowa State in hits, runs scored and stolen bases. She is also the all-time leader in batting average. Just a couple weeks ago, Gomez was the first player in ISU history to be drafted into the National Pro Fastpitch League. Those records stand as an example of Gomez’s work ethic and talent. Gomez wants other young Hispanic girls to look up to the records and dedication she puts into the sport . She stays in contact with younger girls she plays softball with back home in New Braunfels, Texas, through social media. Gomez helps the girls improve their softball technique, and the girls have sent Gomez messages saying how they see her as a role model. “[Moments] like that reminds me of why I do what I do, and there are other people out there [that do look up to me] even if I’m so far away,” Gomez said.

Gomez has already made her impact during her time with the Cyclones on and off the field, but Chairez just started her journey through collegiate softball. As Chairez wraps up her first season of collegiate softball, she waits patiently to get her chance to make a difference. With her father immigrating from Mexico to California at a young age, Chairez is the first in her family to go to college and play softball. “I plan on making a good path for all Hispanic girls and showing them that color doesn’t matter, [that] it’s all about talent and working hard,” Chairez said. Chairez’s family dedicated much of their time so she could follow her dream to play softball. Her father would take time off from work to make sure Chairez made it to softball games. He always stressed the importance of going to college. Chairez said she’s humbled to be part of the small portion of Hispanic players in NCAA softball. Chairez wants to prove to other Hispanic girls that they can take advantage of the same opportunities she has gained by doing what she loves. Chairez said the dedication and support that a family is willing to put into a sport helps kids achieve their dreams of playing on a collegiate level. Chairez feels that dedication is what holds back Hispanic players, whose families may not have the means to support the effort to play through high school and travel teams. “Maybe parents can’t put their kids through sports,”

Senior Brittany Gomez gets into position against Omaha on April 14 at the Cyclone Sports Complex. Gomez is one of three Hispanic players on the ISU softball team.

Chairez said. “This is a dedicated sport, you need to have the time. I feel like a lot of white girls have an advantage because their parents can take the time off.” Antillon also had her family put in a lot of support during her journey to Division I. Like Chairez, Antillon’s father played a key role in getting her to where she is today. Antillon and her father would play ball together after games, practices and school. “We would just go out and have fun,” Antillon said. “He would hit me hard balls so I wouldn’t mess up, which is why my defense is kind of good.” With her father’s help, Antillon fell in love with softball, and when she

struggled, he was always there to pick her back up and encourage her to follow her dream. In her first season last year, Antillon was away from her family for the first time in her life. “I was struggling a lot as a freshman, and being so far away from home was heartbreaking,” she said. Being half the country away from her family had started to take its toll until Antillon’s father surprised her one weekend. “My dad surprised me in Texas when we played the Texas Longhorns and it was just a good feeling to see him,” Antillon said. To Antillon’s dismay, she didn’t perform well the first game against Texas. But just like when she was living back home, Antillon’s father was there to encour-

age her after the game. “I was on the [verge] of breaking, but then my dad just pep talked me,” Antillon said. “[He told me], ‘We’re not quitters, you have a couple of games left, you can do it.’ “He’s just always there to comfort me.” Family is important to Antillon, Gomez and Chairez. Their families supported them in following their dreams. The three women get their heritage from their families and act as role models. And their family is always there to help them back up from missteps and heartbreak. “[My father has] always been the one, been my backbone and [has] had my back for everything,” Antillon said.

ISU tennis sends off seniors before Big 12s Cyclones fall 4-0 to TCU in final home match of season By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com The two ISU tennis seniors stood on court one with their flowers and plaques. They were being honored for their contributions on Iowa State’s senior day. Alejandra Galvis and Ana Gasparovic played their last matches at the Forker Tennis Courts against No. 34 TCU on Sunday. The Cyclones lost 4-0, but the ISU seniors are happy with the way the season turned out. “It’s the end of a huge stage in my life,” Galvis said. “I’m happy I finished with this team. We fought as much as we could. We had a great season this year, that’s all I could ask for.” The Cyclones finished the season 13-9 overall and 2-7 in the Big 12.

the team because everyone is playing really well, and everyone is playing as hard as they can every match. “It’s bittersweet. I’m happy because we had a great season, but I’m sad because this is over.” The support from teammates and coaches is something Gasp-

arovic noticed as soon as she stepped on the practice courts. Everyone is supportive during practice and they made sure that it continued all season. Galvis and Gasparovic didn’t end their final regular season meet how they wanted to. Galvis and her partner, Annabella

Bonadonna, lost their doubles match 6-1 and Gasparovic and her partner Regina Espindola lost their match 6-2. Galvis lost her singles match 6-2, 6-4 and Gasparovic had won the first set of her match 7-6 and was down 2-4 when the meet was called because TCU had taken all

the available points. The team will have a week to prepare for the Big 12 Tournament in Stillwater, Okla. “First off, all get healthy,” said coach Armando Espinosa. “That’s the main thing right now — rest a little bit and get healthy. “We have a big opportunity. Anytime we have an opportunity we have to take advantage of it. When the ball’s short, we need to take it.” The Cyclones will be underdogs heading into the Big 12 Tournament. They’re seeded No. 7 out of 10 teams. Gasparovic believes the low seed could help. “We can go out there and play a little more relaxed and maybe surprise some people,” Gasparovic said. The Big 12 Tournament will be the last opportunity for the seniors. “It’ll be great,” Espinosa said. “We’ve [achieved] a lot of [goals] with winning two matches in the Big 12 Conference. A lot of goals have been accomplished, but we still have [to get past] the first round of the Big 12 Tournament. The program has not done that, yet. We have one more. If we do that, that will really seal the deal for them.”

EARTHQUAKE p3 ing away from [my] country, I just feel so helpless. And as Ecuadorians [living] outside the country, it’s scary because we know about the [instability] of Ecuador.” Recovering from the large amount of damage to Ecuador’s infrastructures, morale and already unstable economy will require a long period of time. “We’re facing the most difficult phase right now … It’s going to take us years to recover from this,” Defense Minister of Ecuador Ricardo Patiño told CNN. Elise Cardenas, graduate student in sustainable agriculture and sociology who has family living on the northwestern coast of Ecuador, believes the younger generation will be traumatized the most since they have never experienced this level of destruc-

tion. The last time Ecuador was afflicted by an earthquake of this magnitude was in 1987, when the tremor registered at M 7.2, as reported by CNN and the U.S. Geological Survey. And with nearly 50 percent of Ecuador’s population under the age of 24, according to the CIA fact book, it seems that this level of devastation may indeed be new to the younger generation. “The differences lay in our generations,” Cardenas said. “Our generation [under the age of 24] has never experienced that type magnitude.” However, the earthquake’s longevity and strength made it reminiscent of the one that rocked the coast nearly 30 years ago. “What I have heard from my family and friends is that it was stronger than any other earth-

quake they have ever felt before,” Perez said. Images of adults and children being pulled from jungles of bent wire and crushed concrete currently scourer the internet, allowing Juan Proano-Aviles, Ecuadorian exchange graduate student in mechanical engineering, to reflect on the sensation of when his world was literally crashing down. Proano-Aviles is from Ambato, which is located on the western side of Ecuador. He has experienced the sensations of earthquakes and remembers the fear and panic that rushed through his mind as the ground below his feet began to shake. “You get a pretty strong impression,” Aviles said. “You don’t know what to expect. You run to find a safe place, like below an arch of a door. I was a kid, so I

would pray. I would worry and pray for my brothers because I didn’t know where they were [at the time]. I would ask for God.” The Ecuadorian students and staff are currently working with the International Students and Scholars Office and University Relations to see what they can do to support their country. “We are from the highland [area of Ecuador] and we are lucky in that sense, but there are a lot of people that literally don’t have any homes, food or any place to go,” Cardenas said. “There are a lot of people in need right now.” Although the earthquake has created numerous new issues for Ecuador, ISU students believe their country will make it through the turmoil. “Although this was a tragedy for our country, many organizations have gotten involved, and it

shows that people are very generous and that we will continue to help and support each other,” Mantilla-Perez said. Donation “drop-off” boxes will be placed around State Gym, Agronomy Hall and outside the East and West Student Offices in the Memorial Union to help collect canned food and clothes for Ecuadorians affected by the earthquake. The group will be host informational sessions in front of Parks Library through Friday to raise awareness of the disasters and how the ISU community can help the victims of the earthquakes. “We just want people to pay attention and not just ignore this event,” Duran said. “We are trying to focus energy and focus on getting more donations and teaching people about what has been happening in Ecuador.”
