Iowa State swipes right Dating app speaks to students’ romantic habits

I got a Tinder profile to do some research. One of the first bios I saw was, “I’ll f--- for some chicken nugs.” Probably a joke. Probably. Iowa State ranks eighth in the nation for most women swiped right on Tinder and 50th for men, according to Tinder. Open up Tinder on Central Campus during the week and you are bound to find more than 1,000 people swipe left or right, male or female. “It’s a way to have immediate and casual sexual encounters,” said Zlatan Krizan, associate professor of psychology. Tinder hits on a market of young adults who are constantly on the move. “If you are a busy college student or young professional, the fact you can match based on location – it appeals to young people,” said Kristin Hopper-Losenicky, lecturer in the women’s studies department. Tinder works whether students are spending their semester on campus, abroad or if they get an internship during the summer. “I honestly just wanted someone to talk to,” Tad Beekman, sophomore in food science, who spent his summer in Chicago. Though it is known for fueling the hook-up culture, Tinder is marketed as a dating app. Beekman met his girlfriend on Tinder. They started talking and hit it off. They are no longer together, but Beekman said he does not regret using Tinder. “I’d probably use Tinder to find a girlfriend again.” Finding a relationship on Tinder is not uncommon, as Beekman said, but it is just more common to find a sexual partner. “I know a lot of people who actually got dates from it, but it’s mostly people just trying to hook up usually,” said Christine Cate, freshman in anthropology. Where does this come from? Why is there an app designed to help people make it clear they want to hook up? Let’s start in 1960. Hopper-Losenicky said the sexual revolution in the 1960s allowed for emerging open sexuality following the acceptance of contraceptives and birth control. The pill was first allowed distribution in the United States in 1960, so it is no coincidence that more young adults felt more comfortable having premarital sex. “Tinder gets a bad rap for fueling the hook-up culture, but that would be happening anyway,” Hopper-Losenicky said. “You don’t need technology to do it.” However, technology might be to blame for the enduring hook-up culture. “It’s the access that’s easier than ever ,” Krizan said. Teresa Downing-Matibag, lecturer in sociology, has similar thoughts. “It’s like a buffet of bodies,” Downing-Matibag said. “You

Dunn Jolly takes the wheel

By Travis.Charlson @iowastatedaily.com

Laura Dunn Jolly has been named the new dean and Dean’s Chair of the College of Human Sciences, Iowa State announced Tuesday morning. Jolly, currently a professor of textiles, merchandising and interiors at the University of Georgia in Athens, was one of three finalists who visited campus to replace retiring dean Pam White. “Laura is an accomplished leader with outstanding experience in teaching, research and extension and outreach,” said ISU President Steven Leath in a statement. “I am confident she will build upon Iowa State’s excellent reputation in the human sciences, broaden the range of interdisciplinary experiences available to our students and faculty, and expand the college’s impact in every corner of the state and beyond.” Jolly joined the University of Georgia in 2007, serving for three years as dean and associate director of cooperative extension and experiment station in the College of Family and Consumer Sciences and five years as vice president for instruction. Jolly served six years as chair of interior design, merchandising and textiles at the University of Kentucky. Her academic career also includes appointments at Texas Tech University, Lubbock; Oklahoma State; the University of Kentucky, Lexington; and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. “I am honored to serve as dean of the College of Human Sciences,” Jolly said. “It’s a great and diverse college with an exceptional history and a bright future.

Add classroom clickers to the laundry list of current renovations and updates underway at Iowa State University. Turning Technologies announced it will discontinue the support of the TP5 software — the current software used by Iowa State — leaving the university to find a new source for clicker technology. The Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT), along with Information Technology Services (ITS), tested alternative clicker solutions in select classes in the fall of 2015 and a new system will have to be implemented at the conclusion of the spring semester. Ultimately, the university will likely end up switching providers and has been looking at the possibility of implementing a smartphone supported system even before the announcement from Turning Technologies. “The concept of [clickers] has changed,” said Lesya Hassall, program coordinator for CELT. “We’ve been looking at what is out there in the market because technology is always changing.” Clickers do all sorts of things these days, Hassell said, with functions including answering multiple choice questions, matching, short answer and calculations. Over the past year, ITS and

CELT have been looking at how the current clickers are being used for teaching and learning. This has made the transition less abrupt, although support staff has had to help students and teachers work around issues since the discontinuation was announced in February. CELT and ITS are looking to have the new software system in place before summer classes start, and sources say that an announcement could come as early as Thursday. “We’re finalizing details of the change as we speak,” Dan Ryan, director of communications and marketing for ITS, said in a release. Tophat is one of the companies being looked at, said Jim Kurtenbach, vice president and chief information officer. Its software works with most smartphones. Clickers aren’t the only technology currently being evaluated, Kurtenbach said. Bubble sheet testing alternatives, new Dell computers, campus communication, alert systems and technology security are all part of the ongoing improvements and evaluations being made at Iowa State. “For the past year we have been heavily focused on identifying ways to collaborate and improve our efficiencies in operations,” Kurtenbach said. “We want technology to work for us, not us working for technology.”

Iowa State has reached a bench mark this month, thanks to new benches on campus. With enrollment growing every year, congestion in ISU campus buildings became a bigger problem; it was common for students to be seen sitting on the floor before or in-between classes. Beginning in November, Campus Services sought to alleviate this issue by installing 400 benches throughout 24 buildings on campus. The project has come to fruition this month, with the last of the 400 benches installed this month in Lagomarcino, Forker and McKay halls. These buildings were targets for their high student volume, according to Inside Iowa State. Almost 200 benches were already installed in December in Coover, Hoover, Howe, Carver, Gilman, Lagomarcino, Pearson and Physics halls. The benches were made by the Iowa Prison Indus-

Council approves new housing plan By Christie.Smith @iowastatedaily.com Plans for a new student housing and retail area along Lincoln Way and South Wilmoth Avenue were approved at an Ames City Council meeting Tuesday night. The development plan for the housing and retail area that will be known as Aspen Heights belongs to Texas-based developers Breckenridge Group, Ames, Iowa, LLC. The development at 205 S. Wilmoth Ave., along the intersection of Lincoln Way, will include five buildings with 122 units and more than 420 bedrooms. The apartments will offer four, three and twobedroom options. Aspen Heights will have a mixeduse element similar to developments in Campustown, with one of the five buildings reserving 15,000 square feet for commercial development. The Breckenridge property has been discussed at several council meetings throughout the process of rezoning the area for highdensity residential and mixed-use purposes and through the developer’s tax abatement requests. The detailed development plan was presented to the Ames Planning and Zoning Commission a year ago, according to city documents. The commission recommended several changes to the plan, including the addition of a bike and pedestrian path along Lincoln Way. Pending those changes to the plan, the commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the plan. Since its presentation to the commission last April, Breckenridge addressed six of the recommended

Ali Elsadig, senior in microbiology, and DeVaughn Jones, sophomore in biochemistry, set up a tent inside Parks Library for Dead Week, where they plan to camp out for the entire week. They also brought their TV and Playstation 4 to play when they are not busy.

Parks Library home to campout Dead Week ‘in tents’ for ISU students By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com During Dead Week and Finals Week, some students feel like they spend so much time at the library, they might as well just stay there. So, that’s exactly what two Iowa State students decided to do this week. While just a joke at first, Elsadig and Jones decided to go through with “setting up shop” at Parks Library during Dead Week after a policy change that would allow the library to remain open 24/7 for two weeks, starting Sunday and going through Finals week. Ali Elsadig, senior in microbiology, and DeVaughn

Jones, sophomore in biochemistry, were sitting around one day earlier this semester trying to think of something that they could do. After observing the popularity of the “Damn, Daniel!” meme, Elsadig and Jones were asking themselves how someone or something like that could blow up or go viral. “We [were] just spit ballin’ ideas and what not — and this man [Ali] said ‘hey, what if I bring my TV to the library?’ and I was like ‘bro, that sounds like a good idea,’” Jones said. Elsadig and Jones set up their tent on Sunday night, along with their TV and PlayStation 4. The location they picked, which is on the third floor near the stairs, was mainly based on the view it provided. “It just so happened these chairs were right here,” Jones said. “Things worked

out pretty cool. We had to take a few things from different parts of the library, but we got it done.” Hesitant to set up at first, Jones and Elsadig were nervous after a library employee had been snooping around their stuff. Following that encounter, Jones said he saw three police officers walking into the library and he could feel his heart racing. The officers weren’t there for Jones and Elsadig and their TV and tent, however, so they went on with their business. A little while after, Beth McNeal, dean of the library, walked over to Jones and Elsadig and asked what their plan was. “We just stood their silent, just like, ‘man, I know she did not allow us to set this up just to tell us to take it down,’” Jones said. “So, we started talking to her and it turns out she was actu-

ally cool with it. She was on board, she thought it was funny.” As for how long they are staying, Jones said that they plan on staying the entire week. They even hope to spruce up the area a little bit more. In regards to going to class and other activities, Jones said that they are looking for more people to help them out — but are not trying to start a tent trend in the library. Overall, Jones and Elsadig are just trying to put smiles on peoples faces as they all survive Dead Week. “Some jokes here, some laughs there. Frowns here and there. Just, its real cool to watch all the reactions of people as they go by,” Jones said. “Just trying to keep people alive and keep people happy,” he said. “Don’t be frownin’, don’t be mad during Finals Week, you know?”

changes for Aspen Heights. Councilman Tim Gartin, Ward 2 representative, expressed concern over the development’s plan for a 6-foot metal fence that will enclose the residential buildings on the property for added security for residents. T.C. Selman, vice president of preconstruction for Aspen Heights, addressed the council to explain the importance of the fence on the property. “From a student’s perspective, they like the security knowing they can come and they have a place to park,” Selman said. More importantly, Selman said, students’ parents can have the peace of mind knowing their children live in a secure development. He said the fence was viewed as a “high priority” for the parents who are often the ones leasing the apartments. Selman said Breckenridge discussed the security and operations of the gate with the Ames Police Department. He said students would be issued a key fob that would open the property gates and the doors to their building and apartments. Council members voted 6-0 to approve the plan. Council members also voted 6-0 to approve a resolution for façade grants for two buildings in Campustown. The Campustown Façade Program was initiated to support, promote and enhance the appearance of commercial buildings in the area. The city received three applications for the grant program this spring, but one was withdrawn. Theremaining applications were from the Cranford building, which houses Jeff’s Pizza, and the other from the future home of Arcadia Café on Welch Avenue.

New political chapter comes to campus

A group of students supporting Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump are looking toward the general election by spearheading an ISU chapter of “Students for Trump.” While not officially a registered student group at Iowa State due to a lack of an adviser, they plan to operate like any other political group with a presence on campus, volunteering and making calls for the Trump campaign. The group is being led by three ISU students — Austen Giles, freshman in public relations, Emeline Hanscel, freshman in pre-business, and Peircen Lorenz, senior in technical communication — all of whom said they come from different backgrounds and have a different

About 50 people gathered Tuesday at the Ames Public Library to hear Alan Wanamaker, associate professor of geological and atmospheric sciences, and Madelyn Mette, Ph.D. candidate in the department of geological and atmospheric sciences, talk about modern and future climate estimates/projections. Mette began the night by speaking about modern climate and the instrumental record. Mette described the history of climate measurement and how observations are made, current trends in climate system. Mette introduced the thermometer, an early method developed in the 1600s to measure volume

Carter Nordman, a high school student from Adel, Iowa, is the state director for Students for Trump, which has chapters in more than 40 states but is not officially aligned with the Trump campaign. In Iowa, the group has chapters at Iowa State, Drake University and two high schools. “We had to network and find people that had the same causes as us just on

campus,” Giles said, adding so far the group has seen lots of interest, especially on social media where @ ISU4Trump boasts close to 800 followers after launching several weeks ago. Along with the social media presence, students may have noticed the group’s fliers in buildings and chalking around Central Campus, including messages of “Trump 2016,” “Build that wall” and “Make America

Great Again.” Members of the group ranged from having lots of history in politics, such as Nordman, who said he has volunteered for U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, to almost none, such as Lorenz, who said he is just now getting involved. “I would basically go for whoever supports what I support, Democrat or Re-

evaluate change in temperature and they are also good at taking into consideration differences that arise. Anomalies help compare between sites with different characteristics. Measurements of the atmosphere vary because of the array of places that have collections of data. Since 1850-2012, the world has seen a rise in global temperature. The global average of upper ocean heat content is increasing. Global average sea level is also increasing.

Atmospheric CO2 is also on the rise but is not as prominent in the southern hemisphere. Increasing ocean carbon dioxide concentration leads to decreasing ocean pH, which then will lead to acidification. An animation was showed that outlined potential variables in an upward trend contributing to warming from 1880-1910. It was determined that natural variations and human factors is the cause for the rise in climate. “Scientists have a really

good understanding of what would happen if the CO2 concentration was 450ppm, 600ppm or 1200ppm,” Wanamaker said. “We can model those easily. What we can’t do is tell you what path we’re going to take in the future. What we can do is cover our bases.” Wanamaker proceeded to show a graph of a future projection that accounts for a 7.2 degree raise by 2100. Most of this warming will happen in the winters.

stumped political pundits who predicted his candidacy would be short lived — instead Trump has dominated in the overwhelming majority of polls and leads the GOP race by several hundred delegates. But Trump has also garnered widespread attention for several policy proposals some say will turn independents away, including immigration plans to deport immigrants who entered the country illegally, building a wall on the southern border and banning Muslims from certain countries from entering the United States. Polling also shows Trump doing poorly among young voters. A Harvard University survey released this week showed that 61 percent of young voters would vote for Hillary Clinton, while just 25 percent would vote for Trump in a Clinton vs. Trump matchup.

If that general election matchup were to happen, group members said they believe Trump will not have a problem beating her. “It’s in Hillary’s favor at this point, but Trump talks about it all the time — ‘I’m not even going after Hillary right now,’” Giles said. “He’s not even focused on her yet.” The group pointed out that Trump’s candidacy has brought out high Republican turnout in states that have voted so far. Groups such as the College Republicans will typically back whoever the GOP nominee is in the fall, but members of the Trump group said they may not. The group said it is planning on setting up meetings for the group and expects 10 or 20 people to turn out originally until the word gets out, which will attract more students.

Blue Ivy Carter, the child of Jay-Z and Beyonce, has received attention on the internet due to her celebrity heritage. Columnist Beiwel discusses the public fascination with the children of celebrities, including the judgement of celebrity parents’ capability and the way children are treated by media.

Leave the children alone Celebrity children should be awarded more privacy By Maddy.Beiwel @iowastatedaily.com

elebrities are people too. They eat, sleep, get married and get divorced. Their lives, while they live them in the spotlight, are not entirely different than our own. They have their own struggles just like us. While I’m not pretending they’re average Joes, they’re certainly not aliens. Like normal people, celebrities have children. In some cases, such as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, celebrities have many children, some of whom are adopted. The public generally loves them. When an actress or singer gains a little weight, we flip our lids and wait with baited breath for the announcement that she is pregnant. We get so excited for her and her partner as if they’re our friends. But why? I understand that children are cute and we enjoy the faux familiarity that we feel with celebrities and their families. However, in reality, we don’t know these people and we certainly won’t know their children. Yet

we gawk over the mother and deny her the privacy that we have been denying celebrities for decades. Maybe we like that celebrities do what we do, but maybe we just like to meddle in other people’s affairs. Or maybe we want celebrities to do it wrong, to be bad parents or something, so we know they’re not perfect and we feel less guilty about our imperfections. Or we like to see people we have loved in movies live their lives off screen, in a well intentioned kind of way. After the children are born, though, it can get a little weird. Children are children, no matter how rich their parents are. They get dirty and gross and they cry at inopportune times. No parent can be faulted for getting a little bit (or a lot) wrong, especially at first. A petition involving Blue Ivy Carter, who is the adorable daughter of JayZ and Beyonce, made rounds on the internet in 2014. The petition, “Comb her hair,” claimed that Blue Ivy’s parents weren’t taking proper care of the baby’s hair. “As a woman who understands the importance of hair care, it’s disturbing to watch a child suffering from the lack of hair moisture,” Jasmine Tolliver wrote in the petition. “The parents of Blue Ivy, Sean Carter a.k.a Jay Z and Beyonce have failed at numerous attempts of doing Blue Ivy’s hair. This matter has escalated to the child developing matted dreads

and lint balls. Please let’s get the word out to properly care for Blue Ivy hair.” The petition prompted backlash and reminded me of how strange it is that many of us think that just because celebrities have made themselves more accessible to people, we believe the same accessibility stretches to their offspring. These are children, yet we treat them with the same scrutiny as adults because of who their parents are. We write articles about what they wear and do as if they’re presenting themselves to us as models. We criticize them and pretend that’s not a sick thing to do to a child. While children love attention, and while it might be fun for them to be treated special, growing up like a bug under a microscope doesn’t sound like a pleasant — or healthy — way to live. People make jokes about the pretentious nature and entitled attitude of some celebrity children, but that is a result of the excess interest in their lives. How can we expect them to become well-rounded, down-to-earth people if we follow them around, tell them they’re special and then criticize them when they don’t live up to the standards a world of strangers has set for them? It’s a lose-lose situation that can only be remedied by allowing the young to be young and by not acting like they are little cherubs that can be poked and prodded for the entertainment of the public eye.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Response: Let’s clear some things up By Deborah Asaolu Pre-professional health program open-option student In response to LUCHA’s “Check your white privilege” letter, I have to say I understand the cries of indignation that arose from many ISU students as an aftermath of its publication. Where were the sources to support the claims made? Why were all of Iowa State’s Caucasian students categorized as ignorant and hateful victims of this “disease”? These are some of the issues I’ve concluded upon observation that partly explain the backlash of the article. However, labelling the article as “ridiculous” or “trash” is not evidence enough that white privilege is just a figment of the minority’s imagination as I’ve seen countless people brush it off as. I’ve witnessed it being termed as an “excuse” of minorities for their own problems. In fact, more white Americans view themselves as being victims of reverse racism than acknowledge the continuing presence of racism against minorities (Boatright-Horowitz et al. 698), something I believe manifests white privilege in and of itself. You want facts? Here are a few: • “Research has shown that white men experience a performance-reward advantage in the allocation of performance bonuses. Castilla (2008) found white men received higher salary increases and bonuses compared to ethnic minorities (and women) and non-U.S.-born employees with the same performance evaluation scores, in the same job unit, with the same supervisor and the same human capital.” (Nkomo and Ariss) • “In a field experiment, Bertrand and Mullainathan (2004) illustrate participants’ preferences for individuals with

“white” names compared to those with “African-American” names. Those applicants with what was perceived to be “white” names received 50 percent more callbacks for interviews than those with “AfricanAmerican” names. Research indicates whites also have a racial advantage in terms of reemployment after job loss. Moore (2010) reported a large racial disparity in the chances of reemployment among workers with equivalent characteristics and experience.” (Nkomo and Ariss) • Upon the occurrence of a widely-covered tragedy at the hands of a white individual, questions often arise as to the whys of the incident, such as: was the perpetrator mentally ill? Were they bullied? Despite the answers to these questions, the actions of the white perpetrator are rarely ever adhered to the whole white population. This gravely contrasts to the event of a crime committed by a minority in which the perpetrator’s background is scarcely, if at all, investigated. Instead, their actions are associated with the majority of those of the same race, further breeding racial discrimination and stereotyping (Wenger). • Etc. (There are hundreds of additional sources out there that discuss issues like these, making it difficult to understand how anyone could deny that there’s still institutional and systematic prejudice in place). White privilege is a term used by all racial minorities, many of which are born into unfavorable/poverty-stricken circumstances, an obvious pattern that largely stems from the slavery and oppression of the past. I can already hear objections along the lines of “Stop bringing it up!,” “Stop making everything about race!” and the most outrageous, “What happened 200 years ago doesn’t affect you.”

It doesn’t? These dark patches in American history dug a rut for minorities (mostly AfricanAmericans) from which we still have been unable to escape from. So yes, many minorities have to work twice as hard to be successful due to poverty being all they’ve known for generations, something most Caucasians can’t relate to as a majority are born at least middle class. It’s not just about “working hard” as I’ve seen many ignorantly — or maybe it’s just naivety — suggest. It’s about breaking the generational cycle of broken families, bad influences and doing what is deemed necessary to merely survive and/or provide for one’s family, whether that be partaking in criminal activity or dropping out of school.That is white privilege. The term — at least when it’s spoken by most people — is not meant to ‘guilt’ white people, and please get over yourselves if that’s your belief. Some do use it as an excuse for their laziness but there are people who fit this description in all racial groups. For you to sit there as a Caucasian and claim that it isn’t reality baffles me. Who are you to say what people have experienced and whether such prejudices transpire anymore? How would you know? That’s the thing, you wouldn’t for reason that I don’t think needs to be restated. Now, on the other hand, I recognize that it is unfair to place blame and accusation on today’s generation. This was not your doing. Why should you be held responsible for the actions of your ancestors? Yes, there are plenty of poor white people too. No, white people don’t thrive solely because of their race. We are all victims of the same thing here; minorities just happen to always get the crappy end of the

stick as history proves. It doesn’t negate the fact that Caucasians, no matter how poor, still hold the unfair advantage and power in our society by merely being just that, white. “Well we can’t help our skin color any more than you can,” you say. Of course you can’t, We aren’t asking you to slow down for us. We aren’t asking for your sacrifice or pity. However, there are some things you can do. Please don’t dismiss or undermine our struggles, what we have fought for for years — sometimes in the wrong ways — and what we continue to fight for. Instead, stand with us. Why wouldn’t you if there is truly complete equality as so many of you (i.e. white students at ISU as well as nationwide) claim there is? I’m aware that many of you are “tired” of hearing about this issue and our apparent, constant pulling of the “race card.” Then help us eradicate the remaining seeds of racism and injustice. Learn to recognize and act on injustices around you and outside of your own racial bubble. In time, maybe, just maybe, true equality can exist in its full capacity. I leave you with this quote by Michael Wenger that I feel perfectly explains the recent influx of anger and protest by minorities, especially on campuses with a predominately white student body: “The effect of racism is insidious. It’s like a worm coursing through your body. Gradually, it creeps through every cell and pore of your body, eating away at your sense of control over your life. Each incident can make you more wary, more suspicious, more agitated. You can’t believe that white people are so oblivious to the indignities you endure, and it becomes difficult to view them as friends or allies.” Thank you for reading.

Regents’ hands tied, students suffer On the final day of its April meeting, the Iowa Board of Regents unanimously supported tuition increases for the public universities because funding allocated by the state legislature was much lower than requested. ISU faculty representative Rob Wallace pointed toward faculty’s need for pay increases as one of the reasons for needing a tuition increase. For Iowa State specifically, the regents requested an $8.2 million increase from the legislature to avoid tuition hikes and help pay for growing operational costs. However, Gov. Terry Branstad’s budget allocated $8 million total for the three universities in his budget recommendation. The legislature allocated even less — an increase of just over $2 million for Iowa State. Both Northern Iowa and Iowa also received millions less from the legislature than requested by the regents. Students, quite frankly, do not need another tuition increase. Higher education in our country is far too expensive already, especially here in Iowa, where students graduate from the three regent universities with an average of almost $27,000 in student debt, according to data from the Institute for College Access and Success. However, because the legislature and the governor do not seem to support higher education in our state during a time period when schools are growing, the regents’ hands seem to be tied. The board froze tuition for a total of two and a half consecutive academic years beginning in the fall of 2013. With that kind of recent track record, this board is obviously in support of keeping costs low for students. Therefore, it is unfortunate to see that the legislature forced the regents request the increase by its lack of monetary support. And because the regents had no other choice but to request the tuition increase, students and higher education as a whole in our state will suffer. To improve this in future years, this disconnect between the regents and the state legislature needs to be resolved. If our state legislature cannot take advice from our regents — the experts on higher education — about our three public universities, how can we expect the schools to be run in the most efficient way that is best for students? It is sad to see that not only our does our legislature lack value for higher education funding but also seems to have a disregard for the Board of Regents’ requests. Obviously if we want to achieve future tuition freezes, the cooperation between the two bodies needs to improve. As a student newspaper at a state university, tuition prices and student debt is a major concern for our community, perhaps much more so than other types of areas in our state. However, shouldn’t our legislature value well-educated and successful young citizens? An investment in education will only ever be a positive for our state.

SPORTS Cyclones gear up for Drake Relays 6

Wednesday, April 27, 2016

ISU women’s track, field trending in right direction

Son of former coach Paul Rhoads enters the race

One final opportunity to show improvement in a meet setting before the Big 12 Outdoor Championships remains for the ISU women’s track and field team. This year’s Drake Relays event arrives following a successful nine-meet start to the season, in which the Cyclones have regularly set personalbest and season-best marks. Despite opening the season with six event wins at the Tulsa Duals on March 19, the team has come a long way in just over a month. Two weeks into the season, redshirt sophomore Erin Hooker ran a nearly 90-second personal record in the 10,000-meter run at the Stanford Invitational on April 1, while her teammates Maryn Lowry, Jasmine Staebler, Maddie Nagle and Erinn Stenman-Fahey clocked personal-best times in the 1,500-meter run. “I had a good 1,500 out in San Francisco that I was happy about,” Stenman-Fahey said. “My 800 out there didn’t go super great, but these last few races [at the Jim Duncan Invitational and Virginia Challenge], I feel like I’ve really started to figure out the 800 a bit better now, and I’m getting a lot more confident and comfortable with it, so I think things are really starting to come together.” A week after the meets in California, freshman Emma Whigham posted the fourth highest heptathlon score — 5,019 — in ISU history, and senior Kaci Storm improved her previous best heptathlon score by more than 600 points, finishing with a 4,238 score at the Jim Click Shootout. The Cyclones added five more personal-best marks in a trio of meets last weekend. Staebler recorded the ninth fastest time in ISU history in the 800-meter run at Virginia Challenge on Friday. Her teammate, Stenman-Fahey, improved in the 800-meter run for the third time since the Tulsa Duals and set her season-best mark in the event. “Mentally, I’ve been a lot better about the [800-meter run],” Stenman-Fahey said.

“I’ve been having good workouts, which have really boost my confidence. It was frustrating [at the beginning of the

season] because I was putting in all the work and having good workouts, but not getting the results I wanted in races. So it’s really motivating now to see things finally coming together.” Distance runners Evelyne Guay and Perez Rotich

set personal records in the 1,500-meter run and 5,000-meter run, respectively, the next day at the Virginia Challenge. Guay has only competed in two meets this season after missing the first part of it because she was sick. “I’ve been improving upon from the first race to the next a n d feeling better

about my training,” Guay said. “I’m really excited to see what these future races can bring because I’ve been in a place fitness-wise I’ve never been before, so I think it’s just about getting the right race situation to be able to test that fitness.” Guay said she’s running more miles, doing harder workouts and putting in more work than she has ever before. Freshman Grace Gibbons and sophomore Jhoanmy Luque set the other two personal-best marks for the Cyclones in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the Musco Twilight and triple jump at the LSU Alumni Gold meet, respectively. The focus will now shift to the Drake Relays, a meet that has been generating some buzz among ISU athletes. “Drake will be fun,” Guay said. “I am pretty excited for it because the atmosphere is just so unique compared to other races with all the fans. Track and field doesn’t have the most spectators of sports out there, but to see the support the Iowans have for the Drake Relays is crazy, and especially because we’re an Iowa school, they go crazy and it’s just really fun, a good atmosphere.” Whigham and Storm will open up competition for Iowa State in the heptathlon Wednesday.

The Drake Relays, the biggest track and field event in Iowa, will play host to a horde of athletes from high schools, colleges and even professional and elite athletes from around the country. Seven ISU athletes will compete in individual events and Iowa State will have two relays in the 4x100-meter and 4x400-meter relays at the event at Drake University. Starting Wednesday, true freshman Wyatt Rhoads will begin competing in the heptathlon. Rhoads, son of former ISU football coach Paul Rhoads, didn’t start competing in the heptathlon until his time as a Cyclone. This will not be Rhoads’ first rodeo at the Drake Relays. He competed in the 400-meter hurdles during his senior year at Gilbert High School and finished in fourth place. Now, as a collegiate athlete, Rhoads is looking forward to showcasing his abilities in the heptathlon. “It will be nice to have that high school experience under my belt,” Rhoads said. “The first time you qualify, it’s o n e

school and college athletes a chance to compete on a similar stage as professionals and olympians. “Not having a lot of professional sports in the state of Iowa, other than the Iowa Cubs and the Iowa Wild, the Drake Relays are a chance to bring in the big-named professional track athletes,” Rhoads said. “For college athletes to be able to run in the same meet as them, I think that’s a really big deal.” For junior Derek Jones, who will compete in the 400-meter hurdles, this will be his sixth time competing at the Drake Relays. “It’s my favorite meet by far,” Jones said. “The stands are always packed.” After crossing the finish line in 51.42 seconds in the 400-meter hurdles, Jones earned a first-place finish and a season-best time at the Musco Twilight last weekend.

of those awe-shock moments where you’re just trying to take everything in. You’re not as focused on the race. This time I will be a lot more focused on the competition as opposed to the scenery, the big names and the all the fans.” The Drake Relays give Iowa high

“I know what I can do and I’m ready to do that at a high-caliber meet like the Drake Relays,” Jones said. Multi-event athlete Taylor Sanderson will run in the 110-meter hurdle preliminaries Friday and attempt to make the finals Saturday. Freshman and Romania native Alexandru Mitirica will compete in the triple jump on Friday. Three-time All-American Jan Jeuschede will compete in the shot put. At the LSU Alumni Gold last weekend, he took first place. Nace Plesko will also compete in the shot put alongside Jeuschede. A handful of Cyclones will compete at the Payton Jordan Invitational on Sunday in Palo Alto, Calif. Brandon Wheat and Jacob Aune will run in the 800-meter event, and Dan Curts, Christian DeLago, Daniel Everett, Brian Llamas and Nathan Rodriguez will compete in the 1,500-meter run. Curts and Rodriguez will also compete in the 5,000-meter run. Action in Des Moines will begin Wednesday and wrap up Saturday. The Payton Jordan Invitational will take place Sunday.

ISU freshman right-hander Emma Hylen winds up before throwing a pitch against Baylor on April 3 at the Cyclone Sports Complex. The upcoming CyHawk showdown against Iowa has been rescheduled for the second time. It has been postponed to May 3 at 4 p.m because of inclement weather.

Iowa Corn CyHawk Series Postponed

Who: Iowa State vs. Iowa When: 4 p.m. Tuesday, May 3 Where: Cyclone Sports Complex in Ames, Iowa What’s at stake: The Hawkeyes lead the 2015-2016 CyHawk Series 12-10. ISU softball would tie the series up at 12 with a win, ensuring the CyHawk Series Trophy would come back home to Ames for the third straight year.

Junior guard Jordan Ashton has decided to graduate early this summer and will transfer for his final season of eligibility, according to an ISU spokesperson. Tommy Birch of The Des Moines Register was the first to report the news. Iowa State’s Jordan Ashton confirms in a text message to the Register that he’s decided to transfer.

Ashton, who earned a scholarship in the fall after walking on, played in 24 games last year. He averaged nearly eight minutes per game. Over the 24 games, he averaged one point per game and had his career high at Kansas State with five points in 19 minutes. Ashton, a Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, native, averaged 16.4 points per game at Kirkwood Community College two years ago. Check back with The Daily as this story develops.

SELF Keep brain active during break

Wednesday, April 27, 2016

By Christine.Hopkins @iowastatedaily.com When school lets out for the summer and the pressures of academic work temporarily subside, it’s easy to to give your brain a threemonth rest from the school year. With the rigors of exams, projects and papers in the not-so-distant past, one low-stress activity students can do to keep their brains active is reading. Here are four reasons you should use this upcoming break to get in the habit of regular reading, along with a list of books set to be released this summer that can help you out. 1. Reading can help you de-stress and improve your sleep Whether work, school or something else is preventing you from relaxing, curling up with a book at the end of the day can help you calm down. In 2009, The University of Sussex studied relaxation methods such as reading, playing video games and listening to music, measuring subjects’ stress levels and heart rates before and after each activity. Not only did reading help subjects calm down faster after undergoing tests and exercises designed to raise these levels, it also made them less stressed than before the study began. But make sure you’re reading an

actual book. A study published in the journal Sleep Medicine this year found that reading on an iPad or a similar bluelight device actually makes you less sleepy. 2. People who read fiction might be more empathetic than those who read other genres The more emotionally invested you are in what you read, the more empathetic you are in your daily life, according to a study published in the journal PLOS ONE. Even though the study’s control group read newspaper articles that focused on individual people, therefore making it more likely they might become invested in the stories, the group that read excerpts from José Saramago and Arthur Conan Doyle texts reported being more emotionally engaged even a week after the study’s completion. This may not come as a surprise since fiction is meant to draw in readers and allow them to become emotionally involved in the characters’ lives. 3. Your memory stays sharper as you age Taking part in mentallystimulating activities such as reading throughout your life may not only be fun but also help keep memory loss at bay. A 2013 study in the journal Neurology showed that people who read regularly both as children and older adults experienced memory

and mental decline slower than those who did not. The study also found that those who did not participate in mentally-stimulating activities as they aged saw their memory decline at a 48 percent faster rate. 4. Reading just might make you happier One hundred years ago, the term “bibliotherapy” appeared in an Atlantic Monthly article for the first

time. It referred to the author’s discovery of a “bibliopathic institute,” where one man provided reading recommendations to heal certain ailments. While books may not be widely “prescribed” today, the desired effects of bibliotherapy are still prevalent among readers. Adults who read regularly reported feeling less isolated and reported higher

levels of self-esteem and self-acceptance, according to research from the initiative Quick Reads. If you’re ready to start reading but aren’t sure where to start, here are a few books coming out throughout the summer: • “Even if the Sky Falls” by Mia Garcia, May 10 • “Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman” by Lindy West, May 17

• “The Girls” by Emma Cline, June 14 • “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” by J.K. Rowling, July 31 • “Enter Title Here” by Rahul Kanakia, August 2 While the end of final exams might be what you’re most excited for right now, being able to enjoy the benefits of reading this summer could — and should — be right up there with it.

Exercise outdoors to achieve summer body By Hannah.Dodds @iowastatedaily.com It’s the end of the semester and all we can think about is the end of the school year and the start of summer. Of course, along

with summer comes the thoughts of a summer bod. The weather is starting to warm up, and the sun is starting to shine, meaning it’s officially time to move that workout outside. Transitioning from the gym to the track might be difficult,

so here are a few moves to get you in the cardio mindset. You should always make sure your body is loose and ready to be worked before any workout. If you choose to do the workout on a track, take

your path to

a few laps and focus letting your muscles relax instead of going all out. Your warm-up jog will help avoid pulled muscles and cramps and help amp up your energy. Split squat This move targets your entire lower body while incorporating cardio as well. It is meant to raise your heart rate and slightly work your legs. Curtsey lunge and side kick The curtsy lunge and side kick requires some balancing skill and coordination, making it one of the best low impact cardio moves for you. The lunge will work your legs and coordination, while the side kick will work your oblique muscles and balance. Oblique twist Cardio is key behind this move, once again getting your heart rate going. It combines a cross body twist in order to work your obliques without having to slow down the move. Squat jumps Your legs will burn after you finish the squat jumps, and quite honestly, your heart might too, but it is all worth it. This move targets your thighs, calves and glutes and incorporates a small amount of cardio. The lower you squat and the higher you jump, the better the results. Forward squat jumps This ‘long jump’ form of the squat will have you wishing you never started this workout. Again, forward squat jumps will work your entire lower body and your abs, requiring you to put in extra effort to jump

as far as you can while keeping your balance. Switch kicks Taking a break from the legs, this exercise moves back to the abs, asking you to kick and balance. It is important to keep your back straight when performing this move. Proper posture will not only make the move easier but will also help you get more out of the move. Mountain climbers Cardio once again is used to get your heart rate going. Mountain climbers work your entire body. Your arms will support your body while your abs will assist you in keeping your body low and tight. Jumping jacks/scissor jumps Jumping jacks will keep your heart rate going, and adding the scissor jumps will help with your coordination and thought process. This move is meant to keep your mind rolling and your body loose.

Heisman The Heisman is another move that works on your balance and coordination. The Heisman targets multiple muscle groups in your body, making your legs work with the slight squat and your abs work to keep your balance and keep the move crisp. Touch runs Touch runs will be your final burst before your cool down. This move is intended to get your heart racing and all of your muscles moving. Go all out. Cool-down run Finally, you want to let your body cool down again. Much like the warm-up runs, you want your muscles to relax and your heart rate to slow. Be sure to stretch when you are finished to avoid the dreaded muscle cramps and pulls. For extra visuals and the fun video version of all of these moves, go online to iowastatedaily.com.

TINDER p1 can have more than one in a day, or even a night. You can try out all different types of people, body types, physical appearances, sex acts, etc. without anyone else knowing.” So why is Tinder so popular at colleges? “People in college are really busy,” Hopper-Losenicky said. “You no longer need to take the time to meet face to face to become interested in someone.” “It might have something to do with that there are more and more people going to college, and for many, there is opportunity to explore that they didn’t have in, say, rural Iowa,” HopperLosenicky said. But social psychologists have research that shows that the people who were liked most from their online profile are not the same people who were liked most in face-to-face meetings, Krizan said. Some people like that Tin-

der offers no commitment to a conversation once two people recognize each other as attractive. “Some people just use Tinder for validation that they are cute and such,” Downing-Matibag said. Other people are on Tinder just to look for someone they might know. “I got a Tinder because I thought it would be funny just to see who was on there,” Cate said. Maybe you find out who in your social sphere is willing to hook up. Or maybe you are looking to catch someone. “There is a high level of cheating among college students, and Tinder has only increased that,” DowningMatibag said. “Cheating would happen with someone in or near the friend group, but [it] is less risky because you can find someone outside your circle.” How much of a concern is cheating? Research shows that 40 percent of men who use Tinder are already in a

relationship, Hopper-Losenicky said. “It’s not good for the stigma that men cheat,” Hopper-Losenicky said. With so many people double-dipping, common beliefs that relationships won’t last develop. “Some people don’t see trust anymore and are giving up on finding a long-term relationship for a good period of their lives,” DowningMatibag said. This fuels the hook-up culture. “There are 50 million users on Tinder and a lot of them are young professionals,” Downing-Matibag said. “If this trend continues, it could undermine traditional dating or even marriage.” Whether that’s true, the value of intimacy, the foundation for many relationships, fades with casual sex. “Some of the people using these apps are starting to have less respect for their sex partners,” DowningMatibag said. Many users are lacking in

intimacy and passion.  “You get to the point where it’s so casual and meaningless. After a while it’s like, ‘what’s the point?’” Krizan said. Women are adapting to the trend. Total acceptance is currently out of reach, however. “There are lingering social issues where, if you are a woman pursuing a man, it might seem over-aggressive,” Hopper-Losenicky said. If girls decide to be sexual, words like “easy” and “slut” are used, and if they don’t, words like ‘prude’ and ‘bitch’ are used. However, women are saying they have a body and they can choose how to use or not use it, Downing-Matibag said. Some women might not be so confident in why they choose to hook up. “Popular media always sexualize women, so girls feel like they have to be sexy and should be having sex, and guys are totally fine with

that,” Cate said. The stereotypes aren’t just catered to women, though. “There is a stereotype that men just want to have a bunch of sex and not have a relationship,” HopperLosenicky said. When no one thinks of Tinder as a dating app, no one sees users in that light either. “There are stereotypes these days that all girls today are sleeping around, or all men are just looking for sex,” Downing-Matibag said. “Men and women are being generalized. Because of the stereotype, people might just assume it as truth and overlook someone who actually wants a relationship.” With the lack of a genuine experience comes a lack of respect. “People are perhaps meaner or lack politeness because it’s possible you are never going to see your partner again,” Krizan said. Negative is not always bad, at least when it comes

to safe sex and results.This issue lies in the lack of respect that might come with a casual encounter. Safe sex is a huge issue as more people continue to join the hook-up culture. “I did a study on the hookup culture and one thing is clear: you guys need to be safer,” Downing-Matibag said. “Girls don’t carry condoms because of the double standard and guys don’t carry them because they don’t want to seem like all they want is sex.” But don’t rule out Tinder and other “hook-up” apps as the future of relationships. “The internet has changed the way people are getting into relationships,” Krizan said. Meeting through social media could eventually be the new normal. “I feel like by the time people who met on Tinder are having kids, there will be enough of them that it will no longer be weird that that’s how they met,” Hopper-Losenicky said.
