Two construction workers injured in electric outage By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com Two construction workers were injured when the cement truck they were operating came in contact with an overhead electric distribution line Monday morning.
Student wins national award
A concrete driver and a contractor were injured while working on a project at 3505 Lincoln Way, according to a press release from the city of Ames. The workers were Kevin Keech, 54, of Story City, who is an employee with Iowa State Ready Mix; and Matthew Rhodes, 46,
of Nevada, who is an employee of Hetzler and Rhodes Concrete Construction. Both were contracted to work on the project. Keech and Rhodes were operating in or near the concrete truck when contact with the power line occurred, the Ames press release stated.
The two men were transported to Mary Greeley Medical Center, where they were both treated. Keech was later transported to the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics, according to city of Ames press release. The construction site is a private, mixed-use redevelopment
project. Ames Electric Services equipment detected contact of the equipment and the electric line at about 9 a.m. The incident created a power outage, which affected more than 100 people in west Ames and lasted until 11:04 a.m.

Senior selected as National Student Employee of the Year By Isa.Cournoyer @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State gained another first to put under its belt when Rachel Wonderlich, senior in child, adult and family services, was selected as the 2016 National Student Employee of the Year (NSEOTY). Each spring, the National Student Employment Association (NSEA) recognizes a student who works while attending college on his or her outstanding achievements. Wonderlich was first nominated for the award by her supervisor and mentor Brenda Allen and Iowa 4-H staff member Marisue Hartung in February. The two wanted to acknowledge Wonderlich’s hard work, independence and creativity as a global citizenship intern. “Rachel has a friendly and engaging personality,” Allen said. “She makes it easy for others to relate and work well with her.” A donation helped form the position in Maple Global Citizenship in September 2014 with the goal of raising awareness for cultural diversity. Wonderlich was the first to be given this internship, setting the bar high for incoming applicants. She has created lesson plans for staff and has organized workshops and webinars to relay the importance of global citizenship. It was no surprise to Wonderlich’s family when she joined the Iowa 4-H program, as many of her relatives were also members. “I gained interest in 4-H before I was even eligible to join,” Wonderlich said. “It’s somewhat of a family tradition.” Wonderlich is the first student from Iowa to be recognized for the award. She was recognized in early March at a ceremony where top administrators congratulated her on her achievements throughout the school year. Wonderlich was first nominated for the ISU Student Employee of the Year. She then hit the ground running in the competition, moving on to become a state, regional and national winner. Wonderlich was shocked when she found out she was recognized as the winner of the NSEOTY award. “I was still floating on Cloud 9 for receiving the ISU SEOTY award when I found out that I had received all of the others,” Wonderlich said. “It still doesn’t seem entirely real.” Allen was also surprised when she heard about her nominee’s recognition. She appreciated Won-

Swirlmingle is an interracial dating website that Shaun VanWeelden, senior in software engineering, cofounded in an attempt to spread the message that love has no color.
Student helps create website to support interracial dating By Erin.Gruba @iowastatedaily.com Love has no color. This is a message Shaun VanWeelden wholeheartedly tries to spread through the interracial dating website he co-founded called SwirlMingle. VanWeelden, senior in software engineering at Iowa State, is set to graduate in May. Since the love of his life is a different race than him, VanWeelden wanted to spread the message that race and cultural background should not get in the way of who you fall in love with. “My fiancé is a black woman, and so there is definitely some things that come up that most couples don’t have to deal with,” VanWeelden said. “I think Iowa’s better than most places, especially like in the
South sometimes you don’t date outside your own race. It’s just a big social [stigma] — you don’t do it.” Rewind six years to 2010, when VanWeelden met his fiancé, Kenechi Francis. The two were studying abroad in Spain and were in the same Spanish class. “We were just friends,” Francis said. “Back then, if you could go back, I would not think that I would be with Shaun today.” Three years later, VanWeelden decided to go to New York and stay with a friend. Coincidentally, he ended up staying with Francis instead. “My mom loved him, like, from the moment she met him she wanted him to be my husband,” Francis said. A year later, Francis’ mother invited Shaun to Trinidad, Francis’ home country. “That’s when it all happened,” Francis said. “A week in Trinidad — I felt like I knew him my whole life.” One thing VanWeelden said he likes about interracial dating is that people can learn about each other’s cultures a lot. Francis, being from New York and Trinidad origi-

Entrepreneur students build businesses through CYstarters 10-week program participants try to solve world issues By Jessica.Enwesi @iowastatedaily.com CYstarters give a new possible hope to ISU students. CYstarter is a new 10-week program that gives students the chance to build their
businesses from the ground up. From presenting business pitches to investors to attending educational panels hosted by established entrepreneurs, CYstarter wants its participants to solve problems affecting today’s world. “We wanted to create an opportunity for students to focus in on their businesses rather than getting an internship or summer job,” said Diana Wright, marketing and programming director of the ISU Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship. Wright said they want students who are trying to solve a big problem, or who “really truly [want] to work on their businesses

The new CYstarter program will allocate between $6,000 and $12,000 to create prototypes, advertising strategies and materials that will bring together each group’s ideas. “We have one team that did get accepted into CYstarter,” Wright said. “They are trying to solve the worldwide problem of subsistence farming. They are going into different countries where the food security is not like what it is in the U.S.” Many underdeveloped countries are unable to produce a sufficient amount of food

Stange Road to close 30 days By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Motorists using Stange Road to access campus from north Ames will need to get used to a detour, as repairs to the Squaw Creek bridge will close the road for 30 days during the summer. Stange Road, which connects the north side of campus to north Ames, will be closed north of 13th Street to just south of Bruner Drive beginning May 9. Southbound drivers will have to take a detour east on 24th Street to Grand Avenue, south on Grand to 13th Street and west on 13th back to Stange Road. The work will not im-
pact access to Frederiksen Court apartments from campus, but anyone wanting to travel to Schilletter/University Village, University Community Childcare and Veenker Memorial Golf Course must access Stange Road from the north. While all vehicles will have to take a detour, one bridge sidewalk should remain open for pedestrians and bicyclists. A 48-hour advance notice will be issued if both sidewalks will close at any time, which will only occur between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., according to Facilities Planning and Management. The work includes grinding off the top inch of the road surface, replacing damaged concrete areas
underneath, pouring a new road surface and laying a stretch of asphalt at either end of the bridge surface to match road and bridge heights. A series of metal rails will be added to the bridge’s guardrails to raise their height about 18 inches and close unsafe gaps in the original design. CyRide’s Brown and Blue bus routes, which normally use Stange Road north of campus, won’t travel any farther west than Hoover Avenue (Brown route) and Northwestern Avenue (Blue route) in north Ames, and will use Northwestern as a north-south arterial. CyRide will post a new schedule noting these changes on its website before May 9.

The group’s name is Leaders United for Change.

Iowa State Sparkles Club allows adults with disabilities, ISU students to cheer on the Cyclones By Keaton.Lane @iowastatedaily.com A new organization on campus is using dancing and cheerleading to bring a little extra sparkle to the Ames community. The Iowa State Sparkles Squad is an all-inclusive cheer and dance squad available for adults with disabilities and ISU students to participate in. The group is part of The Sparkle Effect, a nation-wide initiative that promotes cheerleading and dance teams that include people
with disabilities. Hali Weimerskirch, senior in early childhood education, and Mara Mapes, sophomore in child, adult and family services, are the co-presidents and founders of the Iowa State Sparkles Squad. Both were involved with The Sparkle Effect in high school and enjoyed the experience so much that they wanted to bring the initiative to Iowa State. Weimerskirch was a member of the original Sparkle Effect team in Pleasant Valley, Iowa. “I originally started just because you go into it thinking
that you’re there to help them,” Weimerskirch said. “But really it’s not like that at all. You’re helping each other. They’re teaching you a lot, just as much as you are teaching them.” The group includes members with and without disabilities, but emphasizes that everyone on the team is equal. While most of the The Sparkle Effect teams are for high schoolers, the Iowa State Sparkles Squad consists of adults. Their goal is to create an inclusive environment, where the members can come together,
make connections and establish friendships while cheering on the Cyclones. “I kind of think it makes the women that do have special needs feel like they don’t. They’re just like us,” said Caitlin Raymon, junior in biology. “We’ll get to practice and we’ll have conversations about our day, or about work and they’ll join in. I don’t feel like I’m hanging out with anyone different than me, which is what The Sparkle Effect is all about.” The Iowa State Sparkle Squad practices once a week and per-
forms throughout the year at various events. The members learn various ISU cheers, basic stunts and dance routines. They have also created posters in support of the Iowa State Cheerleading Squad, and have done a number of different group activities. “I would probably say one good reason to join Sparkles probably would be that you would have a lot of fun doing it,” said Erin Goldsmith, Sparkles member. “You would probably be able to get a couple good workouts in.”

Body messages raise sincerity concerns By Lexi.Troutman @iowastatedaily.com

Malcolm Kelley of MKTO performs in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union on Sunday. MKTO and Cassio Monroe, who opened for MKTO, performed rap, rock and pop music.
Concert review: MKTO By Jacob.Beals @iowastatedaily.com
MKTO and Cassio Monroe filled the Great Hall of the Memorial Union with rap, rock and pop Sunday night. The lights dimmed a little after 8 p.m. and cheers came from the audience as Cassio Monroe took the stage to perform a cover of the DNCE song “Cake by the Ocean.” The group’s fun-loving attitude was seen instantly through the interaction and chemistry between members Tripp Weir and Jeff Garrison.
Both of them were also great at interacting with the members of the audience and keeping them involved in the show as they encouraged them to dance and sing along to the covers of the popular songs they played. They brought out their own music too, which included “Love OD,” “White Knuckles” and “Under the Lights.” Much of their original work had a unique pop sound to it with a rocking tone and a driving beat led by the group’s percussion talent. A lot of their music included inspiring messages, and the way they sang each
song felt encouraging. However, they also had songs about love and heartbreak, and they defiantly showed their emotional side. As their set drew to a close they announced that they had time for one more song until an audience member yelled a request for “Dump Me.” The duo decided to break out the song before they played their finale, and even though it was about breaking up, the lyrics were funny and it was different than most other love-gonewrong songs. Weir and Garrison closed in grand fashion with “No

Body campaigns across the world have brought out both positive and negative responses from social media users. Dove has been promoting its “Real Beauty” campaign since 2004. The campaign’s goal is to widen society’s definition of beauty from the runway model status to the average woman. The project has faced some backlash from individuals claiming that though the campaign is overall a positive message, the main goal of Dove is still to sell its products. Tyler Tomaszkiewicz, junior in sociology, said considering how money motivates people and businesses, it’s hard to say how sincere campaigns like these are. “I think they’re playing on the want to be beautiful,” Tomaszkiewicz said. “Anytime I see an ad that is doing something like this, I always have some amount of skepticism.” The store Aerie for Ameri-

can Eagle put up photos in late March showing men of all shapes and sizes. The ad was thought to be promoting a new line of men’s underwear for the store. American Eagle put out a comment stating that the ad was meant to be a parody and that there is no male underwear line in Aerie. The business was using it to promote male body positivity and to announce that the store will no longer be retouching photos of its actual male models. Tomaszkiewicz talked about his own struggle with weight since coming to college for the first time. He said the idea of a positive male body image campaign needed to be more prevalent. “It’s kind of this dirty little secret that guys don’t
talk about,” Tomaszkiewicz said. “We perceive it as unmasculine.” Jessie Patton, sophomore in interior design, said the reason she believes not as many campaigns are targeted toward men is because marketers associate beauty products with women. “I think women by nature are more focused on appearance,” Patton said. “The majority of young girls look at models and they become envious because they don’t really have that self confidence yet.” There are also what some are calling body shaming campaigns on social media. Project Harpoon was a campaign that promoted thinner beauty. The campaign announced that with body

GPSS votes on allocation bills, nominations to Senate for 2016-17 By Rakiah.Bonjour @iowastatedaily.com The Graduate and Professional Student Senate met Monday in the South Ballroom for its final session of the year. To close out the year, GPSS voted on allocation bills and nominations to the Senate for the 2016-17 year as well as listened to multiple speakers throughout
the night. A resolution standing in support of permitting graduate students to display academic hoods as a part of their regalia was tabled at 54 percent in order to gather more information from other institutions. Sen. George Weston nominated Humair Nadeem, graduate student in mechanical engineering, to the Senate for next year. GPSS confirmed
Nadeem’s nomination at 98 percent. The Geology Graduate Student Organization is planning a fall field trip to Devil’s Lake State Park in Baraboo, Wis., and has requested a special allocation from GPSS in order to take its members on the trip. GPSS voted at 88 percent to pass the special allocation. Board of Regents student representative Ra-
chael Johnson was invited to attend April’s meeting and discuss her role on the board as well as her role in the voting process of the international student tuition increase, which took place in December. Because many graduate students are international students, GPSS had discussed sending a resolution of disapproval for the increase in October and November, but the resolution
was never drafted. Johnson said she had only heard from two separate sources before she voted on the tuition increase, and therefore she did not think her constituents were bothered by it. GPSS told Johnson they were never reached for input on the increase, and that in order for Johnson to serve the 3.2 million Iowans under her constituency, she should have communicated better.
GPSS President-elect Vivek Lawana said there were problems from both sides when handling the increase. “I think we are more upset with how the situation was handled than the actual increase of tuition,” Lawana said. GPSS President Zack Zenko asked that Johnson be more communicative with the Senate and with the uni-

After about a 10-minute intermission, MKTO took the stage and had the audience immediately clapping to the beat. Malcolm Kelly and Tony Oller sent a warm greeting to everyone after the first song. “Iowa State University, how ya feeling tonight?” Oller asked. “Thank you for having us!” The group cut right into its hit “American Dream,” and people could be heard all around the Great Hall singing along with the duo.

ence known through social media. Patton said skinny shaming is creating a new problem, but trying to solve it in this way is not helping. “The internet has been a great thing, but it has also been socially one of the most destructive things that has come about in the past 50 years,” Tomaszkiewicz said. “A lot of things we were able to cover up back then have come to light, and a lot of people we could just ignore can’t be ignored now.” Both the Project Har-
poon’s Facebook and Instagram pages have been deleted. Instagram confirmed that the page was deleted because it violated the site’s bullying policy. Tomaszkiewicz and Patton agree that the idea of beauty is deeply ingrained in society’s mind and that it is one that is hard to shake. “[Campaigning for] the natural look still kind of keeps our culture as one that cares a lot about looks,” Patton said. “People are still going to be comparing themselves to everyone else.”

The two also brought a new song to the stage called “Superstitious,” which felt funky and full of soul. It was a different tone than a lot of their other music. The two thanked the audience near the end of their act in a creative way by playing their song “Thank You.” Oller and Kelly made the song feel personal for the night as they sang it directly to the ISU audience. The two closed the show with their biggest hit, “Classic.” Voices from members of the crowd could again be heard singing the song along with MKTO. The passion the two had for the song was shown as they gave it their all to conclude the performance. The evening was filled with talented musicians, Cassio Monroe and MKTO had many performance traits in common, but they both delivered music that felt fresh and unique.

The two had an interesting way of bouncing parts off each other too. Oller sang lead most of the time, and Kelly sang back up and took on rap solos, which were featured in many of their songs. They delivered their songs with a lot of energy. Their slower songs such as “No More Second Chances” were performed with a lot of emotion, and their faster songs such as “Heartbreak Holiday” were a lot of fun. The joy the two had for performing shined in the more upbeat music. Both moved all around the stage and showed off their dance moves. The duo’s music also featured a diversity in topics and in genres of music. “Just Imagine it” took a turn from their love and relationship songs. The lyrics sent an inspiring message about change that needs to happen in the world.

CYstarters p1 to support their populations, causing widespread famine to debilitate their nations. Clayton Mooney, who graduated in 2012 with a bachelor’s in English and technical communica tions, has been working with his teammates, Mikayla Sullivan, senior in global resource systems, and Elise Kendall, senior in environmental studies and global resource systems, to battle this problem with a product known as KinoSol. “KinoSol units are mobile, solar-powered food dehydrators for fruits, vegetables, insects and grains that [also] have a storage container,” Mooney said. The trio has been working on KinoSol for the last 18 months. After winning multiple business plan competitions, the three of them were able to acquire enough funds to create more KinoSol prototypes to test all across the world. “We actually have a partnership in eight different countries and four different continents,” Mooney said. “We want to expand and we want to get more units into the regions that we currently operate in. We believe that every subsistence farmer in need [due to] post-harvest issues should have a KinoSol unit.” Mooney and his team are confident they have the potential and drive to see their product succeed. “We have had a big vision since the beginning when KinoSol was just a product for a lone business plan competition,” Mooney said. “We want to help the people who don’t have access to basic necessities and this has (always) been our driving force. We wanted to come up with a product that could very much change the world.” However, not all participants in the CYstarter program are working on an international scope. Some participants are operating on a smaller, national level that is still changing lives. Megan Sweere, senior in supply chain management and marketing, created a business plan known as Home Sweet College Home. “Home Sweet College Home is a subscription college care package that is specifically meant for incoming transfer or firstyear students,” Sweere said. “And what makes it unique is that it comes with coupons from local businesses.” Sweere’s product is meant to provide comfort to students who may not feel comfortable in their new surroundings. “The whole point of it is to help every student succeed at college by helping them feel that their new community is their home,” Sweere said. The idea behind Sweere’s product comes from her own experiences as a firstyear student. “My freshman year I had a hard time transitioning to the school,” she said. “It was just weird to be in a [place] I was not familiar with. Students come to college and a lot of them do not succeed their first semester because they don’t have the resources and they don’t feel [they have] support.” Understanding that this is a common experience among students from around the world, Sweere decided to create a product that could give students a “personal touch” in order to feel at home. Using an online base for her product, Sweere plans to launch her business this September and eventually expand service to Ames, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, Dubuque and potentially Des Moines. Sweere also plans to use her time with CYstarter to learn more about online marketing and how to push her products online. “I think there’s so much to learn and I’m excited to have CYstarter there to [stand] me up and help lead the way,” Sweere said. The 10-week program will commence May 23, and if all goes well, the world will receive a product that could help shape it for the better.

“Frida Kahlo,” a member of the Guerrilla Girls, speaks about feminist principles during a speech in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union in 2009. Columnist Lawson argues that feminism isn’t about hating men and is instead about wanting to make all genders equal.
STEAM ROLLING STEREOTYPES Feminism takes new approach to reach path to equality By Angelica.Lawson @iowastatedaily.com
A
new era of feminism is upon us. Long live the empowering, inspirational and game-changing feminist. Past feminism supporters focused on getting women basic U.S. citizen rights, but the feminists of today are focused on getting social economic equality for women in a world that was created for men. It’s important to define feminism for the naysayers of the movement who believe it’s an attempt to hold power over men. Feminism is defined by Merriam Webster as, “the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes; organized activity on behalf of women’s rights and interests.” Feminism isn’t about hating men; it’s about loving women and wanting men, women and all other genders to be equal. Numerous tools can be credited with the changes in feminism. One of those tools is social media. Social media allow people to share their views, opinions and experiences with a large audience and connect with others who share their thoughts. Social media can
be greatly credited with the increase in support feminism has gained. The power of the hashtag has added multiple elements to the feminist movement, including #yesallwomen, #askhermore and #notbuyingit. Each campaign signifies a different struggle. #yesallwomen provided women the opportunity to shout out everyday occurrences of sexism. #askhermore allowed women to shout out the belittling questions they are often asked, such as, “How are you going to do your makeup or hair in the car?” #notbuyingit was used popularly during the Super Bowl in reference to ads that featured sexism. These are just three examples of how powerful a hashtag can be, and because social media is so easy to access, movements like these can take off, leaving the traditional method behind. YouTube gave us one of the most influential feminist supporters around today: YouTuber Laci Green, who focuses on social issues that affect women. She used social media to expand her platform and help her reach a diverse audience that may not have otherwise been exposed to the principles of feminism. She has also made appearances on TV and has worked more with mainstream media as a result of her activism. Feminism should no longer bring up images of an epic, radical or angry women because men can also be
feminists. Men are feminists if they believe both sexes should be equal and want to create a country where no pay gap exists and where women aren’t shunned for taking control and embracing their sexuality. They are feminists if they believe he for she and she for he is how it should always be. Say hello to the new face of feminism. Feminism is not here to say you can’t. It’s here to say we can, we should and try to stop us. A lot still needs to be accomplished to establish equality among the sexes in the good ol’ US of A, but every day someone identifies as a feminist and doesn’t get a ”why do you hate men?” response is a day that shows how far we have truly come since the birth of this movement. Explore what it means to be a feminist and what this theory is actually about instead of what the generalization has been. Keep in mind that some of the most influential people of the previous generation and of our generation are feminists or gender equality activists. Celebrities such as Coco Chanel, Barbra Walters, Madonna, Ellen Page and Angelina Jolie are all women who are fighting for women’s rights while not trying to steam roll men. They believe we are all people, and we should all have equal rights and be treated as equals in every circumstance. Explore beyond the stereotype because there is a whole lot of feminism out there and it’s just looking for an equal ground.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Past letters misunderstand others’ views By Ryan Stoner Senior in chemical engineering This letter is in response to “Be consistent with your call for diversity” as well as some of my thoughts about the current letters submitted to the editor. Hello, Robert. I’m glad you submitted your letter. Honestly, I do not agree with the majority of your points, but it has given me more insight into why you and others hold these opinions. Recently, it seems to me that many discussions on the topics you and others have brought up in The Daily argue without really understanding each other’s viewpoints on the particular topic. For example, the LUCHA letter that likened white privilege to a virus brings up four examples of white privilege. One of them was not being able to “speak your native tongue without getting looks or comments from other people.” At first, it may seem ridiculous (that was my first reaction). The majority of America speaks (at a minimum) English in the home. Hearing another language simply would stand out. As with anything that is not common, one would probably give it attention, negative and/ or positive. From this angle, the LUCHA article seems misguided. But, do Spanish speakers, or anyone who doesn’t speak English, deserve negative feedback for not speaking English? There is nothing inherently wrong with speaking another
language. Why do they deserve to be judged? Do you see what I’m trying to get at? Two angles about the same topic. No conclusion will be reached. Now back to some of the points you made in your letter. Second paragraph: it is simply something that would have to be discussed in person as I’m sure you’d be willing to explain that statement more. Third paragraph: Christianity has great components in it; however, the views on sexuality certainly will bring up disagreement. You use the phrase, “reduced to a commodity.” I was raised Catholic. I understand the sanctity of sex and how beautiful it is when used as God intended. (Un)fortunately for me, I now disagree. From my perspective, the sacredness of sex has meaning simply because you give it meaning. Example: a couple (we’ll assume a man and a woman) waits until marriage before having sex. They consider it sacred as thus have bonded together through this belief. Awesome. How about another couple who had sex multiple times before tying the knot and happen to bond together through that experience? Awesome. I simply cannot tell a difference in purity or sacredness in both examples. Now what if that couple wasn’t “traditional”? Say a genderqueer person and a man fall in love and bond together for life. How can their relationship be any less beautiful than a man and a woman? What if the man is also asexual? Does that intrin-
sically affect that relationship? To me it doesn’t. I personally don’t think God condemns what science has not shown to be harmful. What I mean by this is that it seems arbitrary to me to condemn sex as a commodity simply because it doesn’t agree with your faith. Here is one of the gaps between our arguments: what God intends and doesn’t intend for sex. To reach an agreement, we’d probably have to spend more time discussing this. Because this topic isn’t simple, it seems to me rather damning of you to say sexuality as a commodity is inherently worse than being a sacred act. Paragraph four: I agree that humans have the right to life, but what does that statement really mean? A seminal article that may open your mind to the way the topic is being discussed in philosophy literature is “A Defense of Abortion,” by Judith Jarvis Thomson. I encourage you to read it as it’s fascinating. Paragraph seven: I would like to hear more of your opinion on the matter as my first impression of the “All Comers policy” reminds me of company hiring policies, which I see no problem with. Paragraph eight: I’m glad you don’t agree with forced conversion therapy as the other opinion article to which you responded covers this topic already. Paragraph nine: I see no connection between your comparisons of banning conversion therapy, GLSEN, and diversity trainings. Conversion therapy
is a discredited medical practice while the other two ideas are educational programs. Isn’t this a false analogy? Are you implying that conversion therapy is an attempt to indoctrinate LGBTQ+ against themselves? Is GLSEN an attempt to indoctrinate children into thinking LGBTQ+ is acceptable (which the science community certainly thinks so now)? Does diversity training indoctrinate campus and the workplace? Your analogy is too absurd to take seriously. What stops me from taking your logic to say that quantum courses are indoctrinating people against classical physics? Women’s studies courses are indoctrinating people to view gender separate from a binary? Your presentation of “diversity” functions as strawman. Diversity is a means for a plurality of ideas to be discussed, debated and evaluated by society as a whole. Free speech has a knack for accomplishing this goal. This does not mean that society thinks every idea deserves the same attention. Example: the idea that racism is good does not garner much attention in today’s society. Same idea can be said with lobotomy and any other discredited medical practice. It seems that society is currently talking more about LGBTQ+, pro-choice and the extent of religious freedom. Just because you disagree does not mean you should not discuss the ideas and consider the other side’s viewpoint.
Expanded library hours give flexibility to students It has arrived. Dead Week is upon us, Finals Week will soon be rearing its hideous face and students will endure endless study guides, testing center lines and late nights. Those late nights may turn into more all-nighters for some with the new hours in Parks Library for Dead Week and Finals Week. The library will be open 24/7 for the last two weeks of the semester. It’s an idea that’s just being tested for now, to see how students receive the new opportunity for more time in the quiet study space. Keeping the library open every hour of the day during Dead Week and Finals Week was a suggestion made by students. It’s a move that provides students the opportunity to keep studying with a group in a study-friendly setting later into the night and will keep individuals from having to abruptly stop their studying while they’re in their 2 a.m. study groove. We’ve all been there. By the time you get done with classes, work, meetings, gym and dinner, it’s sometimes already late into the day. You head to the library and just as you’re starting to master the study guide, that little voice sounds telling you the library will be closing in about 10 minutes. No thanks. The elongated hours also provide a new level of flexibility. Some people study better at different times of the day. Studying in the library has proven to improve students’ grades. Research has shown that, “students in schools with good libraries learn more, get better grades,” according to a study by Scholastic. The same study cited 60 other studies that have “shown clear evidence of this connection between student achievement and … school libraries.” Being in a five-floor, seven-tier building dedicated for studying opens up options of multiple study spots in one location. A New York Times article on study research said psychologists in one study found that “college students who studied a list of 40 vocabulary words in two different rooms — one windowless and cluttered, the other modern, with a view on a courtyard — did far better on a test than students who studied the words twice, in the same room.” While the option of a cozy place to pull an all-nighter is tantalizing, be careful not to abuse the new opportunity. Studying through the night is scientifically not healthy. A 2008 study by St. Lawrence University Associate Professor Pamela Thacher found that all-nighters can impair your reasoning and memory for up to four days. We’re not going to “mom” you to participate in responsible study habits. You know what study techniques work best for you. The beauty of the library’s new hours for the next two weeks is that it truly is up to the students how long they take advantage of what the library offers.

BASEBALL CLUB DIRECTS FOCUS TO FUTURE AS SEASON DWINDLES Team falls short of playoffs, relies on youth to lead By Jack.MacDonald @iowastatedaily.com Rivalry week can be fierce and intense, but along with that comes nerves. For the ISU Baseball Club, the intensity got to them during the club’s four-game set with Iowa this past weekend. It was also the senior’s last crack at the Hawkeyes. Not to add any more pressure to the table, but if the Cyclones stole two wins from Iowa, then they would be in the driver’s seat, competing for a shot at the MidAmerica North Conference title. Unfortunately, the Cyclones couldn’t obtain those two wins and ultimately lost their hopes for a postseason bid. They lost three of four, which dropped them to 5-7 in conference play and 9-12 overall. “Our defense struggled and we costly errors at key points in the games,” said junior Matt Odland, club president and head coach. “Our errors were on hard hit balls, but we still should have made some of those plays.” For the Cyclones, it was a common theme for the three games — they fell down early and often. In game one, the club trailed 3-0 before battling back to tie the game. Once again in game two, the club trailed 3-0. In game three, the Cyclones trailed 4-1 after only one inning. Despite the early deficits, they battled back in every game and get within a run or tie it. Odland credited good pitching as the reason they stayed in the games despite have defensive struggles. On a weekend of inconsistent play, one thing was consistent and that was the hype
for next season’s team. Only three seniors were recognized on senior weekend and Quin Mann missed the entire season because of shoulder surgery. “Next year they have a chance to be really good because the core of the team is staying,” said senior Tanner Judd. “I have no doubt that guys can step up for the departing seniors.” In regard to someone filling Judd’s shoes once he leaves, it will be no easy task. In his senior campaign, Judd compiled a .424 batting average and nine stolen bases, which ranks him in the top-20 nationally for stolen bases. If the club can succeed next year with the young core of players returning, it will because the quick-footed outfielder was able to demonstrate a rugged work ethic. The club will also be losing Chad Allman, arguably one of its best pitchers. Allmann has pitched thrown himself to a 3-1 record and 3.44 ERA, which is second on the team. Allmann has also recorded 27 strikeouts in 21 innings-pitched. “Seeing where we ended this season makes we want to start planning for next season,” Odland said. “We have a lot of talent returning.” Before Odland can start planning for the future, the club will battle Northern Iowa in the team’s last four games of the season. With the team essentially eliminated from postseason play, it will play care-free baseball. Although it was a rebuilding year, the club still managed to compete for a conference title for a majority of the season. Odland is excited to see what kind of team shows up when they play with nothing on the line against UNI. “We have been put into a really good spot heading into next season,” said Kellen Yoder, a senior that will return for one more season. “We are poised to take the next step and win conference and get back to the World Series.”
Senior Kellen Yoder roams the infield during the ISU Baseball Club’s Spring Break Trip to Florida. The Baseball Club has a young core that will help create success next season.

Emmanuel Malou files for NBA Draft Recruit has backup if inelgible to play at ISU
ISU SOFTBALL
By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com ISU big-man recruit Emmanuel Malou filed paperwork for the NBA Draft on Monday, according to a report from The Vertical. An ISU spokesperson confirmed the news and said Malou had not yet hired an agent. This will keep Malou’s collegiate eligibility alive, thanks to a new rule by the NCAA this season that allows recruits to attend the NBA Combine and not lose their eligibility. However, ISU coach Steve Prohm told The Des Moines Register he didn’t think he would necessarily lose Malou. “This is just a backup plan to help the kid,” Prohm said. Malou, who is a 247sports. com four-star recruit and the No. 2 junior-college player in the nation, played at Yuba College in California, where he averaged 14.7 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game as a freshman. He then transferred to Des Moines Area Community College last semester to focus on his academics. Malou’s eligibility has been an issue before. He first attended the now-defunct ABCD Prep in Des Moines and was forced to take the JUCO route when we wasn’t eligible for the NCAA.

ISU men’s basketball recruit Emmanuel Malou attends an ISU women’s basketball game against Texas Tech on Feb. 17 at Hilton Coliseum. Malou filed paperwork for the NBA Draft in case he is ruled inelgible to play at Iowa State.
He is now scheduled to graduate from DMACC this summer. However, if he is not ruled eligible, he will have the NBA Draft as a backup plan. “I expect it to go our way,” Prohm told the Register. “I think people are jumping the gun on this draft thing. This is a protection to help him — give him another option.” Should Malou not be ruled eligible this summer, he would likely sign with an NBA D-League team to continue playing basketball.

New season calls for fresh appearance Summer offers opportunity to liven up look By Alanna.Hill @iowastatedaily.com
foundation and concealer adds extra moisture to the skin. Topping off the look with a luminous setting spray such as Urban Decay Cosmetics Chill Setting Spray will help seal the deal. Warmer months provide a perfect excuse to incorporate more color into your day-to-day products. While it’s easy to overdo it, focusing on one feature to add color to is key. If you go with a vibrant eye, adding a nude lip will help keep the face balanced. Pairing a simple eye look with a bright lip will help bring focus to that feature. An easy way to incorporate color in your life is by adding a pop of color on the lips. Many people have their go-to eye combination, but lip color is easy to change from one day to the next. Trending colors for the spring and summer are orange-red, bright coral and fuchsia pink. Using lip products with a glossy finish or topping off a matte lip color with a gloss helps give that moisturized and youthful look, mimicking the look of the dewy foundation. If you’re feeling a little riskier, adding pops of blue to the eyes is a trendy
With warmer weather upon us and summer approaching fast, it’s time to liven up your makeup routine. While fall and winter are filled with vampy lips and matte faces, summer is a time to lighten up and brighten up. Although winter calls for a more matte canvas, summer is a time to give your face a dewy finish. Looking for a foundation that provides a dewy finish is one way to get the look. L’Oréal True Match Lumi is an affordable drugstore option. Becca Aqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation is available at Sephora if you are looking to splurge. Other options to acquire that luminous glow are available as well. Adding luminous drops to an existing foundation or using an illuminating primer such as NYX Cosmetics Born to Glow Illuminating Primer can give your base that extra glow. Using a Beauty Blender to apply
approach to bring color to the face. Models can be seen rocking it on the runway, and bloggers have been bringing looks to their subscribers using the trend. Adding a blue winged liner to a simple shadow look will give a fun and edgy look. The most important trend never goes out of style: healthy skin. While our society is always chasing golden skin, taking care of your skin needs to be a top priority during the summer. Buying a foundation with SPF and applying sunscreen every time you hit the great outdoors will help you avoid highly damaging sunburn. If you are still looking for that “bronze goddess” look, there are loads of selftanners out there that can give you the color without the damage. Self tanners come in all forms: lotions, gels, foams and sprays. Testing out different brands and products can help you find the type that appeals to your personal preference. St. Tropez, Loving Tan and Jergens are some fan favorites. No matter what trends are popular, healthy skin is always in style.

While the Iowa State Fashion Show is the annual showcase of apparel, merchandising and design students’ work, the fashion scene at Iowa State is hardly limited to its talented designers. Iowa State is also home to three fashion magazines — Trend, Revival and Sir — where students of any major can learn about fashion writing and photography and see their own work published twice yearly. The publications also recruit models for each issue, and students don’t need any modeling experience to be considered. Here is what you can expect to find in each fashion magazine at Iowa State: Trend The award-winning Trend Magazine is managed by the apparel, events and hospitality management department but is open to any student who wants to join. It released its inaugural issue in spring 2006 and is the longest-running fashion magazine on campus. Trend’s most recent issue, its 20th, included the story “Twenty Issues Later: Congratulations Trend.” The piece details Trend’s journey from its conception to receiving its status as an official student organization to how it plans to take advantage of its evergrowing staff. Issues also include a wide range of articles about beauty, fashion, lifestyle and trends for men and women. Additionally, the “Alumni Spotlight” section features two ISU graduates who have
gone on to succeed in their dream jobs. Revival Revival was formed in spring 2011 and not only focuses on fashion but also on art, culture and entertainment found within the ISU and Ames communities. Founders Kyle Keigan and Ann Prowell told the Iowa State Daily in 2011 that other student publications didn’t seem to cover those topics, and as a result, they felt they needed to step in and start their own magazine. In addition to its signature “imagedominant” style, Revival also features stories about Ames-area bands, indepth profiles of ISU students’ unique experiences and local events. Revival’s spring 2016 issue, titled “Psychedelic,” marks the magazine’s 10th publication. Sir Iowa State’s men’s interest and lifestyle magazine made its way to the ISU community in spring 2012. Each issue concentrates on aspects of lifestyle, fashion, food and drink, culture and sports — “anything and everything a guy might find interesting,” Sir’s page on the Greenlee School website states. Stories have included “The Full Monte,” a profile of ISU basketball player Monté Morris; “If Don Draper Went to Iowa State,” a Q&A with the “Mad Men” character complete with drink recipes; and “VEISHA Riots: Behind the Lens,” an account of the 2014 riots that led to the cancellation of the event. “You don’t have to like chopping wood or eating steaks,” the inaugural issue’s editor-in-chief John Lonsdale wrote of the magazine’s target audience. “You just have to be confident and want to have a good time with us.” Trend and Rivival released spring 2016 issues in mid-April and they can be found at the racks around campus.
Take advantage of internship By Anna.Chandler @iowastatedaily.com Interning in the fashion industry carries many opportunities; but they will be unpredictable and earned. Here are some tips for your summer internship: In the office • Be the first person there. Arriving early and getting a few things organized before the daytime craziness will prepare the entire team, including your supervisor. • Always ask to do more. Although the few minutes of rest may be enjoyable, there is always more to do. And typically, a supervisor won’t recognize that you want to do more unless you ask. • Don’t sit idly by. Why waste such a short-term opportunity? Continue to work, clean and volunteer. • Get to know everyone. Whether it’s the secretary or head of design, make connections with everyone. • Leave thank you notes. They won’t go unrecognized and may make or break a future opportunity. • Do more than expected. Go above and beyond and offer to volunteer with projects that are not specifically assigned to you. • Make as many connections/friends as possible. This is the perfect time to network, even with your fellow interns. • Spread goodwill. Be kind and respect those around you. Don’t burn bridges and

don’t take things too personally, especially in the fashion industry. • Ask questions. This is your opportunity to learn and take in all the knowledge possible. • Understand the office atmosphere. Take a moment to understand if it is a casual or corporate environment and try to adapt as soon as possible. Outside the office • Visit the city. It may be a brand new home for you, so take all of the tours and visit the “hole in the wall” places. • Get to know people. This is the perfect chance to interact with students from all over the country.
• Journal about the experience. The days will pass by quickly, so jot down notes to remember for the future. • Take a class. Whether it’s exercise, music, arts or learning to cook, take advantage of the opportunities this new city may offer. • Reach out to alumni. Iowa State has students located globally. Reach out to alumni to learn more about the city and gain a friend who can help. Internships will fly by faster than you may expect. Take advantage of the opportunities in front of you. Have the willingness to do anything, and network, network, network.

LOVE p1 nally, makes for a completely different cultural background than VanWeelden’s. “There’s a lot of things that we can learn about each other that we can kind of laugh at or share with, like I would’ve never thought this way or she would’ve never thought this way about some other stuff,” VanWeelden said. VanWeelden said a downside to interracial dating is how many stares he and his fiancé receive when together. “Even today, in 2016, it’s still seen as weird sometimes where people are like, oh, that’s a really weird couple,” VanWeelden said. VanWeelden said he is fortunate that both his and Francis’ parents are very supporting of the interracial relationship between the two. VanWeelden started coding for SwirlMingle in July 2015 and spent six months working on it with Jacob Mason, the other founder, until it was finally launched in December 2015. “We launched about midDecember, right during Finals Week, which is probably a stressful time to launch it, but we went for it,” VanWeelden said.
VanWeelden has previously done freelance work and has worked for Microsoft and Amazon. “I love it,” VanWeelden said. “Being able to work at somewhere like Microsoft or Amazon, is first of all, it’s a really cool opportunity, but when you work there, you’re surrounded by all these amazing people who are actually doing really, really big things with software.” VanWeelden is set to move to California after graduation to work full-time at a large software startup called Twilio and work more closely Mason. Mason does a lot of petition work and lobbying, and also has done marketing for roofing companies in the past. “Really, you know, my whole focus when it comes to side work has been SwirlMingle,” Mason said. Mason, who does all of the marketing and business work for the website, used to create YouTube videos about social issues he believed were important. Many people reached out to him, which inspired him to create SwirlMingle. “I committed myself to try to change that in the world, like, to try to figure a way to create a stable environment where people feel not as in-
timidated,” Mason said. Mason said the concept and name for the website came to him in a dream. “I like to say that most of the things that I come up with come from my dreams,” he said. “I’ve always been a firm believer in that.” The two co-founders met on Instagram. VanWeelden and Francis had been following Mason’s account because Mason posted interracial relationship photos. “One day, he put out some competition or something and we were going to submit our picture and that’s how [VanWeelden and Mason] got in touch,” Francis said. VanWeelden and Mason wanted to create a safe online place where people could meet each other. “It was really weird,” VanWeelden said. “[Mason] had posted something that was like, ‘hey, I want to make a website that, you know, is for people looking for a simple community and what not.’ And I was like, ‘hey, I want to do that too. I think that’s a really cool idea, let’s try to develop an online community where people can come together and really just emphasize the fact that love has no color.’” VanWeelden reached out

to Mason and they quickly began corresponding. Having a shared vision made it easier for them to accomplish their goals. Another component of the website is the 2016 prom tour. The idea of the prom tour is to bring people together and offer them a do-over of prom with the love of their life. “So many people had a really crappy prom, like wouldn’t they love to redo it with the actual love of their life?” VanWeelden said. Mason said this idea stemmed from another one of his dreams. “I realized, you know, we
could gain tons of respect and also show that we’re about love with SwirlMingle if we give adults a second chance at prom,” Mason said. Mason said he and VanWeelden hope to make prom event an annual occurrence. VanWeelden said the responses for the website vary. On the one hand, many people love what VanWeelden and Mason are doing. “They really like the idea that love has no color and it’s a site for people open to dating anybody, any other race,” VanWeelden said. On the other hand, Van-

Weelden said there’s been a lot of backlash. Some people think dating outside of their race is traitorous, while others perceive the website as a fetish. “A lot of black men, and some black women too, they question his motives, which is understandable, but they don’t really give him a chance,” VanWeelden said. “They’re just like, ‘oh, this guy is just fantasizing black women. He doesn’t really love them for them.’” VanWeelden said the website has more African-American women who use it than any other demographic, thanks to how many African-American women follow Mason on social media. VanWeelden also said he’s already received a couple emails from people saying they’re deleting their account because they’ve found someone, despite the website only being up and running for about four months. VanWeelden said a common misconception is that he is an advocate for interracial dating. “I would feel like I am an advocate for loving who you want to love without color,” VanWeelden said. “I don’t think interracial dating is better than regular dating. I think it should just be another option.” VanWeelden hopes to continue advocating the idea that love has no color. “I’m not amazing at marketing or things like that, and so what I can do is I can code really, really well,” VanWeelden said. “And so I can code up a website or a blog or something like that, that enables people to share their own message, share their stories and ideally continue the conversation that love has no color.”
