Greek councils respond to Vespers ceremony By Nik.Heftman @iowastatedaily.com Reactions to the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) and the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) award recipients at Sunday night’s Vespers Greek ceremony have left members of the Iowa State greek and non-greek communities in search of a culture change. Throughout the ceremony, members of the Iowa State greek

community booed award recipients from organizations within MGC and the NPHC, according to a statement released by Rachel Ramirez, president of the Multicultural Greek Council, and Billy Boulden, assistant dean of students and director of Greek Affairs. The statements also said that audience members made racial slurs to individuals sitting around them. Others mocked the traditional “calls” of the organizations. Boulden and Ramirez sent emails

to their respective organizations Monday night to address said reactions. “I want you all to know that you and your organizations are valued and respected within our Greek Community,” Ramirez stated in an email address to the MGC and NPHC, “and that I, and our other three council presidents are doing all that we can to address the situation through immediate action.” Ramirez’s email said that the incident had been reported to the

Office of Equal Opportunity and to the Climate Campus Response Team “so that an investigation into the incident may be launched.” The email also stated that the presidents of IFC and CPC will be “moving forward with their council judicial processes to hold these specific chapters responsible.” Boulden also expressed disdain for the actions of those who participated in the reactions, saying the behavior was not acceptable in an email addressed to all of the

greek councils. “While I understand that for some it may have been the first time you have heard a call from a greek organization, your ignorance is not an excuse,” Boulden said. Ramirez said that she and the president of the NPHC planned a meeting with Multicultural Student Affairs on Tuesday to discuss how they will proceed. The MGC held a general assembly meeting Wednesday night. Boulden was to attend the meeting, according to the email.

REFLECTING ON ONE YEAR StuGov continues to seek diversity across all positions

STICKING TO PROMISES 24/7 LIBRARY Staudt and West campaigned on a 24/7 library during Dead Week and Finals Week. The 24/7 library was first enacted in the spring 2016 and continued on in fall 2016 as well.

as the new president and vice president Thursday, Staudt will say goodbye after leading the student body through what he described as a controversial year. “Overall, it’s been a challenging year,” Staudt said. “We’ve had a lot of controversies just campus-wide, whether that be President Leath’s plane scandal or the issues around the election ... I think it has been a real challenge.” Among the controversies, Staudt and West have accomplished all of their main promises from their presidential campaigning over a year ago. This included implementing a new dead week policy, starting a town hall and working with legislators to get a medical amnesty bill passed. West led the battle to amend the old dead week policy, eventually getting it passed through Faculty Senate in February. Dead Week, the week before Finals Week

Maria Archevald was concerned about her cultural background when she first was seated as a Student Government senator. Archevald, who was born in Puerto Rico, also carries an accent. With time, her concern shifted. She grew tired of “sitting in between two men Wednesday after Wednesday.” Serving as a senator this past academic year, Archevald was one of seven female senators – there are 34 in total. According to the Student Government website, six out of the 23 executive positions and three out of the nine members of the judicial branch are women. After the election and start of the new session, there are now 13 female senators out of 37. She recalled one heated debate that dragged on which caused her to object to an extension of five minutes to the debate at hand. The response to that was a 10-minute extension that she objected to again. Her objection was then called disrespectful by a fellow senator. “I replied to that, ‘I don’t think the objection is disrespectful,’” Archevald said. “’What I think is disrespectful is the fact that we’re wasting time’ and I guess that was perceived as an aggressive tone.” What struck her was that she felt that if it were a white woman, this fellow senator wouldn’t have called her aggressive. If it were a white man, no one would have even thought that he was aggressive. Archevald also brought up what she regards as “man spreading.” She noticed that as a woman sits, she must think about how her legs are positioned, while a man will sit with his legs wide open with out being judged. “No one’s going to look at a man talking or a male senator talking and say, ‘Wow, his legs are really spread out,’” Archevald said. So how does Iowa State’s undergraduate enrollment statistics pale in comparison to the male-to-female ration of Student Government? According to Iowa State’s fall 2016 enrollment statistics, 43 percent of undergraduates identified as female. But in

MEDICAL AMNESTY A campaign platform Iowa State Student Government President Cole Staudt ran on last spring may be seeing completion soon after getting approved in the Iowa Senate in March.

MENTAL HEALTH Student Government partnered with administration to help launch a Crisis Text Line at Iowa State and also threw support toward a mental health fee for students.

DEAD WEEK REFORM Faculty Senate passed a new Dead Week policy that would prohibit quizzes and exams on the Thursday and Friday of Dead Week. The policy was proposed by Staudt and West.

PRINTING CREDITS In fall of 2016, ISU students printed 1,118,137 fewer sheets than in fall of 2015, according to Staudt, who worked to standardize printing credits with West.

Cole Staudt and Cody West implemented a Dead Week policy and worked with legislators to pass a medical amnesty bill.

Pleased with accomplishments, Staudt hands reins over to West By Alli.Weaver @iowastatedaily.com and Danielle.Gehr @iowastatedaily.com

Feeling that he and Vice President Cody West accomplished all that they had promised, Student Government President Cole Staudt is ready to move on. But the long hours and loss of sleep were all worth it to him. What he and West did gain, however, were skills to lead the masses as well as a better view of how the world works. “Everyone has their own agenda and desires for community whether you are university administration, you are faculty or students,” Staudt said. “Everyone has their own ideas and how do you get those ideas to work together.” As West and Cody Smith are inaugurated

StuGov welcomes new officials By Alli.Weaver @iowastatedaily.com The Campanile Room of the Memorial Union buzzed with the sound of conversation, sparking relationships, both old and new, among incumbents and newly appointed Student Government officials Wednesday. Entering into the first session with the new administration and with the school year ending, Student Government discussed several outgoing efforts including the medical amnesty bill, proposed by Student Government President Cole Staudt. The medical amnesty bill is still in the Iowa House of Representatives after it passed through the Senate in March, according to an update by Vice president-elect Cody Smith on behalf of Staudt. The bill must be voted on and

passed through the Iowa House before it is signed by Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad. If this process is completed, the bill will grant legal protection for students who are involved in a medical emergency due to alcohol consumption even if they are underage. Staudt said he and presidentelect Cody West were absent from Wednesday’s StuGov meeting due to lobbying efforts in Washington, D.C., on Capitol Hill on behalf of all Big 12 students on a number of issues. They met with Iowa Sens. Chuck Grassley Grassley and Joni Ernst on Wednesday to discuss Iowa State Student Government’s stance on the subjects. These issues include “sexual assault prevention, the higher education fund, and others“ according to Cody Smith’s update at the start of the meeting. With a list of officials to elect

during the meeting, and the expansion of several committees, Smith introduced himself to new members and called the meeting to order for the first time. The entirety of the Senate, whether new or old, was sworn in, and open legislative, executive and committee leadership positions were discussed and filled. All candidates for each position were given the opportunity to present themselves and their qualifications for the position, followed by questions from other senators to help influence voting decisions. Other orders of business were the expansion of the University Affairs Committee and the Public Relations Committee, adding four positions to the UAC and three positions to the PR Committee.

Air Force ROTC unit honors country with reveille and retreat By Tristan.Wade @iowastatedaily.com

Kennedy DeRaedt/Iowa State Daily

The Air Force ROTC secures and pays respect to the flag during retreat on Tuesday. Retreat is part of a tradition called reveille and retreat where the Air Force raises the flag at 7 a.m. and lowers it at 5 p.m.

The Air Force ROTC unit hosts a special reveille and retreat ceremony twice a year at the flag pole on Central Campus. The ceremony represents a historical and honorable meaning for the cadets involved. “What [reveille and retreat] really represents is us honoring the country, Americans and all the Americans that have served before us,” Ben Shaw, fifthyear senior cadet, said. Reveille and retreat refers to the process of putting the flag up at 7 a.m. (reveille) and taking it down at 5 p.m. (retreat). The process happens daily on military bases, and each has a bugle song that plays while the flag is put up or taken down. The Iowa State Air Force ROTC members don’t host the ceremony daily, instead once a semester, to introduce the cadets to the traditions of the military. “We do it once a semester here, so us cadets can become more aware and familiar with it since it’s a regular occurrence on bases,” Tyler Laska, a fifth-year senior and ROTC cadet, said. As a fifth-year senior, Laska has been to bases multiple times and knows what the process is like. “If you hear reveille playing on base, everything completely stops, people pull over on the road, get out of their cars, stand at attention, it’s a cool experience,” Laska said. On Central Campus, the effects can be similar. Laska said students walking by will often stop and watch, sometimes taking photos while the cadets go through the

process. “Most people aren’t a part of this, and the military is foreign to them, so it’s interesting to see people watch what we’re doing,” Laska said. There are meticulous ways in which the ceremony is carried out, from the command to the honor guard to the bulk of the cadets. First, the cadets who aren’t part of command or honor guard arrange themselves in blocks near the flag pole. The command calls out orders as the ceremony takes place, and each reveille and retreat starts directly on time. The honor guard is a group of cadets tasked with handling the flag and the actual process of raising or lowering and unfolding or folding the flag. “Throughout the ceremony, [I’m] always trying to show how proud I am of my role,” Shaw said. As fifth-year seniors, Laska and Shaw have had a chance to be in each part of the ceremony, including honor guard. “It’s definitely stressful to be part of the honor guard, but there’s a lot of pride in it if you can do your job right and everyone in the group functions right,” Shaw said. Laska said that if they have a cadet in the unit who plays trumpet, they will have the reveille and retreat songs played in person, which gives the ceremony a more militaristic feeling. “If we don’t have anyone to actually play, it’s just a little speaker on Central Campus, and it just doesn’t feel the same,” Laska said. For the cadets, opportunities like reveille and retreat give them a glimpse into the bigger picture. “It’s a deep moment, similar to when the national anthem plays, and it just feels so sweet to experience that unique occasion [in] the role I have,” Laska said.

Iowa House approves 20-week abortion ban By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com After hours of heated debate, Iowa House Republicans voted Wednesday evening to approve a bill restricting abortions. The Des Moines Register reported the passing of the bill Senate File 471 Wednesday, which would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy and create a three-day waiting period for women seeking abortions at any stage of their pregnancy. With a 55-41 vote, House Democrats voted unanimously against the legislation.

The bill currently includes changes that the Iowa Senate will vote on before it reaches Gov. Terry Branstad’s desk. The House amended the bill to rid any criminal penalties, however, it would allow the Iowa Board of Medicine to penalize physicians who violate the law. Another amendment would allow doctors to conduct abortions after the 20week mark if necessary to preserve the mother’s life. The bill allows no exemptions for rape, incest or pregnancies where genetic complications would make a live birth impossible. Republicans believe that the

three-day waiting period does not create an undue burden on women seeking abortion. Rather, Rep. Joel Fry, R-Osceola, and chair of the House Human Resources Committee, told the Register that he believes it is a key part of the process. “We could figure out whatever hours you want to figure out,” Fry said to the Register. “I believe that the key piece of this process is to make sure that we have the time for the decision to be made with all of the facts and have an informed choice being made...” House Democrats, on the other hand, believe that the bill will restrict the right to choose.

State Rep. Lisa Heddens, DAmes, proposed an amendment to the bill Tuesday night, which she inevitably withdrew, to add “equity [when] looking at men’s health and reproductive capabilities.” Dubbed the “Man’s Right to Know Act,” the purpose of the amendment was to “express the state’s interest in promoting men’s health; ensure that Iowa men experience safe and healthy elective vasectomy and colonoscopy procedures, erectile dysfunction approaches, and men’s health experiences.” The funds collected from the penalties, the amendment states,

would then be “used by the department of public health for family planning services that replicate those included in the Medicaid family planning network.” “With the number of pieces of legislation that have been sponsored this year in regards to women’s health and women’s reproductive rights, I’m focusing on equality,” Heddens told Iowa Starting Line. While Heddens’ amendment was withdrawn, the 20-week abortion ban bill is still up for debate in the Iowa House, in which Republicans are expected to pass the legislation.

Integrated studio arts to host student exhibit By Sheikh.Jallow @iowastatedaily.com

Students snack on cupcakes during Start by Believing Day on Wednesday. The event took place in the Agora on Central Campus to raise awareness about sexual assault.

ISU Police Department promotes Start by Believing campaign By Chris.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com With Krispy Kreme donuts and a promise to dye Ofc. Anthony Greiter’s hair teal, the Iowa State Police Department hosted its second annual Start by Believing Day event Wednesday outside Parks Library. Start by Believing is an international campaign aimed at cultivating a culture of belief when it comes to responding to sexual assault. Greiter said the event was set up to inform, advocate and provide resources. Greiter said Start by Believing is about taking the victim’s word when they say they have been assaulted. “When somebody’s sexually assaulted and they tell you, you need to start by believing, don’t doubt, don’t ask questions, just say ‘I’m sorry that happened,’” Greiter said. Greiter feels the role law enforcement needs to play with sexual assault is huge.

He asks people to imagine an instance of reporting a missing laptop and an officer responds with “Are you sure?” or “Why did you leave your room unlocked?” “So, law enforcement plays a really big role because we have the opportunity to show a victim that they have support,” Greiter said. Although it rained off and on during the event, Greiter said he saw a great reception and people sticking around to interact with various organizations that had tables set up. The Thielen Student Health Center was among the groups providing resources to sexual assault victims. Jessica Shannon, sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) at Thielen, ran the table. A SANE is trained to give special care to victims of sexual assault. SANEs like Shannon are part of Thielen’s sexual assault response team. “It’s an important role just because we need to know if there is a sexual assault,

Integrated studio arts seniors will showcase their work in the annual Bachelor of Fine Arts exhibition. The event will take place from April 10 to 22 in the College of Design, 181 Gallery. Dubbed as “Intentional,” the theme of the exhibition will highlight the diverse experiences of 33 students graduating with a bachelor of fine arts in integrated studio arts in 2017. It is organized by several subcommittees such as the Public Relations, Installation, Take-Down, Reception and Digital, which are primarily curated by students. Carly Ludwig, senior in integrated studio arts participating in the exhibition, provided insight on “Intentional.” “All the design we create at the studio, there has to have an intent to it, there has to have a purpose,” Ludwig said. “And that goes along with everything in our life from our studio to what we want to do after graduation.” “It’s one thing that we’ve always been told to do, ‘live your life intentionally,’” Ellie Krabbe, senior who works with 2D and 3D animations, said. Some of the things that people will see in the exhibition are diverse art projects while immersed in a relaxed space, Krabbe said. Artwork in the gallery exhibition will include ceramic works, paintings and digital media. As an aspiring painter, Ludwig’s theme for all her work revolves around ancestry and heritage. “Everything that goes into [my work] has to deal with memories and letters —

objects we hold valuable,” Ludwig said. “There’s always like a sentimentality tied behind material objects. I am interested in why we do that.” Krabbe will showcase a bio renewable project, a portrait video, a painting of her grandmother and a project she worked on during her trip to Rome. A lot of hours are spent in the studio, so students are strongly encouraged to participate in local exhibits, Ludwig said. The numerous exhibitions on campus allow them to expose their works. “This is an opportunity to put our work out there to the public and say we do exist down here at the basement,” Ludwig said. Opening hours for the exhibition will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. The event is free to the public, and there will be a reception with food and drinks.

Carom by Bruce White is one of Columnist Sinclair’s favorite art pieces on Iowa State’s campus. Sinclair argues that in addition to the beauty and unique features that art brings to Iowa State, it also can bring a community together.

A continued commitment Keep promoting, funding the arts across ISU campus By Isaac.Sinclair @iowastatedaily.com

am fortunate enough to go to a university that is literally drowning in art. Art is so deeply incorporated into the Iowa State campus that I find myself constantly discovering new pieces around campus. Sometimes, I find myself noticing pieces I must have walked by every day but then missed because of how integrated they are into the campus. Everyone who has walked through Iowa State has seen the university’s commitment to the arts and maintaining a beautiful campus. Christian Petersen was the first artist-in-residency at an American college, Iowa State, and he profoundly impacted the aesthetic of Iowa State. His work covers almost the entire campus. From the Three Athletes at State Gym to the the Fountain of the Four Seasons in front of the Memorial Union, his influence is evident across campus. Art can transform the entire look of a community. By filling otherwise blank walls and empty grass spots with art, Iowa State has beautified its entire campus. This not only improves the appearance of the university, but it also provides Iowa State with a unique selling point. The

abundance of art could be another reason a potential student or professor would come to Iowa State. I know it has made me feel more comfortable and at home, especially as my time here in Ames has passed. Some of my favorite pieces, like Carom by Bruce White, are the ones I had to find myself. I remember walking up to the Carom for the first time and, as it slowly came into view, being intrigued by this strange blue sculpture that had just materialized in front of me. It remains one of my favorite pieces across campus because I stumbled upon it on my own, and because of its immediate ability to grab my attention. But besides providing a pretty face for the university, and being enjoyable for someone like myself who enjoys art, what is the purpose of all this public art? It’s available to the public for free but costs money to create and maintain, so what is the purpose of it on campus? Art has no explicit purpose, and as cliché as that sounds, it’s true. Art can be almost anything, like a painting or a sculpture, and every artist imagines art as something entirely unique to them. But I believe that art does do one thing universally: It is meant to evoke a response. A response can be anything from a feeling to a memory or an opinion. It can challenge how we see the world and what we believe about the world around us. Art can inspire people or make them laugh. It has no expressed purpose. Its purpose is malleable depending on the artist, and more im-

portantly, the person taking in the art. It’s my opinion that it is worth evoking multiple responses from multiple people. When I discovered Carom, it evoked a response from me — one of intrigue. That, and other responses, are why art is so potent. By surrounding our campus with art, people are constantly giving and receiving responses to the environment around them. Not only does this make people more engaged with their surroundings, but “a higher frequency of engagement with arts and culture is generally associated with a higher level of subjective well-being,” according to Arts Council England. Besides the beauty and unique features that art brings to the university, it also can bring a community together. It has been shown that “participation in the arts can contribute to community cohesion, reduce social exclusion and isolation, and/or make communities feel safer and stronger,” according to Arts Council England. I’d argue that everyone who walks through Iowa State is able to participate in the arts by simply interacting with the art around campus. This brings our community closer together through these common, shared experiences with the art that surrounds us. As a community, we should continue to fund and promote the arts across campus. There is so much beauty and well-being that comes from art that we cannot afford to lose. Iowa State has already done so much for its students, faculty and the people of Ames in terms of art, and we should all appreciate that effort and continue to support it.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Greek community requires drastic change By Derek Doeing, junior in agriculture communication, Chi Phi Fraternity This past weekend at the Greek Community’s Vespers Award Ceremony there were instances of disrespect and mockery toward chapters within the Multicultural Greek Council and the National PanHellenic Council. This blatant rift within of one of the highest ranked Greek communities in the nation is a setback for every single Greek-affiliated student at Iowa State. The positive accomplishments of the Greek Community such as the $377,000 raised for the Iowa Special Olympics through Polar Plunge or the higher average academic per-

formance simply do not matter if we cannot create a community that is not only inclusive, but welcoming to people from all backgrounds. The five pillars of the Greek community are echoed over and over again throughout Greek Week, so why do we find it so difficult to exemplify these pillars in our daily lives? Our own specific organizations were founded to hold members to a higher standard. Many fraternities and sororities have core values involving personal integrity or honor. As members, we take oaths that we are going to uphold these values and live by these codes for our entire lives. The events of this past weekend made it clear that some members of our community have allowed their values to become com-

promised. The organizations most affected Sunday evening exist due to the historic marginalization of their respective communities. It is not the job of the NPHC and MGC chapters to educate the community about their traditions or the meanings behind them. Ignorance to these practices and their significance is no excuse for the behavior exhibited. A few of the recent reviews on the Iowa State Greek Community Facebook page show that the entire community has lost the respect of many. No longer is it acceptable for fraternity men and sorority women to remain sheltered in a bubble. If we are actually dedicated to social justice and friendship

as we say we are, then we must instill dramatic change within the members of our chapters and councils. It is imperative that we have those tough conversations with our own brothers and sisters. We have to hold those closest to us accountable when we see instances of discrimination and prejudice. These issues are not limited to the ISU Greek Community, but as Greeks we must hold ourselves to a higher standard. The events of this weekend should be a call to action to not divide our community further, but to recognize the real problems and issues we are facing in order to work toward realistic resolutions. Uniting our community going forward is not an option, but a necessity.

Growing up, your school library was probably the first library you ever became intimately familiar with. It might have been where you spent recesses when it rained, your class’ first “field trip” or the place where you first fell in love with reading. April is School Library Month, where school librarians and their libraries are recognized for the noteworthy services they provide to students, parents and teachers nationwide. This year, the theme is “Because School Libraries Empower Students,” which signifies the contributions school libraries make to students who come to school with a diverse range of experiences and access to knowledge. It also represents the types of programs that school libraries across the country will be putting on this month. As technology has evolved, so have school libraries. In the past, card catalogs, VHS tapes and microfilm readers were mainstays; the peak of technological advancement that was necessary to supplement learning. But as the internet made its way into schools, the importance of online literacy, database knowledge and academic software did as well; and school librarians — who were once called library media specialists but were officially bestowed the more professional title in 2010 — had to be among the first to adapt to these changes in order to pass them on to the students they served. We need School Library Month because we need school librarians; they are essential resources to student learning in the course of a quality K-12 education. Yet, when school districts are looking to slash budgets, libraries — and by proxy, librarians — are often the first to suffer cutbacks. This may be due in part to what remains an unfortunately popular view of libraries in general: that they are outdated, archaic bastions of knowledge best suited to a time before Google could point you in whatever direction you needed to go. But those who raise this point are choosing to remain ignorant to the value of school librarians. The school library is like a supplementary classroom, one that not only provides technologies not found in the classroom, but employs people who are experts in teaching these technologies to students. School librarians provide a baseline knowledge of information gathering and research that students can build upon as they enter college. Need an MLA expert in high school? More often than not, your librarian was the one to provide that education, if not the resources that your teachers used in class. This month, thank a school librarian for all the work they put in throughout the year to enrich learning and provide students access to so much knowledge. Write a thank-you note to your own elementary, middle or high school library, or show your support on social media with one of the many School Library Month graphics. Without school libraries, and school librarians, education as a whole would not be nearly as comprehensive or inclusive as it is today.

Long jumper capitalizes on second chance Allanah McCorkle rediscovers passion for sport she left behind By Kyle.Heim @iowastatedaily.com If track and field still had a place for her, Allanah McCorkle was ready to return to the sport that had no room in her life after graduating high school. She had put in her time, participating since she was 9 years old. She excelled, too, as a prep athlete at Davenport Central in Iowa, finishing second in the long jump as a junior and senior at the Class 4A State Championships and adding a silver medal in the 200-meter dash her final season. When she recites the message she told her mom and grandma several years ago concerning her future in the sport, she still speaks with a reassuring tone. “Don’t think I’m going to do this [in college]” McCorkle told them. “It’s over after senior year. I’m going to do it until senior year, but after that, I don’t want to do it anymore.” But it only took a year away from track and field for McCorkle to realize something was missing. “I thought I didn’t want it anymore, and then sitting and going without it, you kind of realize how much you miss something when you actually do go without it,” McCorkle said. Her return to the sport was welcomed with success. As she began improving in the long jump from 17 feet to 19 feet to 19 feet and 7 inches during her first two years at Iowa Western Community College, recruiting offers began pouring in from Iowa State, Kansas, Georgia and Kentucky. She verbally committed to the Cyclones but ended up a Jayhawk after falling in love with Kansas after her first visit there. “I loved everything about

Allanah McCorkle competes in the long jump at the Larry Wieczorek Invite in January. McCorkle has set two personal records this outdoor season.

[Kansas], and then when I got there, it was totally different,” McCorkle said. I was really unhappy. I didn’t like the way things were going, and from a track standpoint, I was probably miserable. McCorkle had natural talent but technique issues held her back. She said her coach didn’t work on the aspects of the sport she felt she needed improvement most in.

Of the 30 jumps she attempted during the 2016 indoor season, she fouled 19 times. “... There was stuff that I lacked that wasn’t getting me as far as I know I could go,” McCorkle said. “Me jumping 20 feet, I knew it was in me, but I knew there was more that had to be done for it to come out of me.” McCorkle had reached a low point in track and field,

but she wasn’t ready to give up on the sport a second time. She decided to turn to the coach she had verbally committed to before deciding to go to Kansas — Fletcher Brooks, Iowa State associate head coach. “I was a little nervous about coach Brooks bringing me back in obviously after I verbally committed here,” McCorkle said. “... But

coach Brooks is a really nice person and open arms, so I kind of had a feeling I could, and I did.” Her first year at Iowa State hasn’t been absent of any bumps in the road. She fouled on every jump at the Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Championships but is now beginning to see the transfer pay off. She recorded a personal record in the long jump at the

outdoor opener, leaping 19 feet and 11.5 inches to Big 12 Female Athlete of the Week honors. Two weeks later, she finally cleared 20 feet, jumping 20 feet and 1.5 inches at the Stanford Invitational on Friday. And the fouling problem? That’s not a non-issue now after she fouled only twice through the first two meets of the outdoor season. McCorkle has a coach now who works with her on what she struggled most with a season ago — fouling — and she has the “the best training partner ever.” “As thankful as I am for coach Brooks, I’m just as thankful for [Jhoanmy Luque],” McCorkle said. “If I didn’t have her, I think I would be as successful, but when you have someone else who you’re doing almost as good as and you can work together, it really helps your confidence.” McCorkle, however, isn’t the only one benefiting from her transition to Iowa State. Luque, who earned her first Big 12 Championships during the indoor season with first-place finishes in the long jump and triple jump, said McCorkle’s presence has had an impact. “[McCorkle’s] an amazing training partner,” Luque said. “I love her as a teammate and a friend. “I think that has been helping me a lot. We have fun at practice and during travels. I’m really happy that I have her as a teammate.” Now that McCorkle has reached 20 feet, she has adjusted her goal to 21 feet, and she’ll get a chance to reach that mark this weekend at the Sun Angel Track Classic in Tempe, Arizona. “A year ago today, I was probably at my worst,” McCorkle said. “And right now, I’m at my best. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”

Prohm family welcomes newborn daughter Iowa State coach, wife celebrate birth of 2nd child By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State coach Steve Prohm and his wife Katie celebrated the birth of their daughter Frances on Tuesday. It’s the second addition to the family. The Prohms have a son, Cass, who turned 2 on March 11, the same day the Cyclones won

the 2017 Big 12 Tournament. The birth announcement drew congratulations on social media. Monté Morris, who recently finished his accolade-filled career at Iowa State, offered to take care of Cass while Steve and Katie take care of their newborn daughter. “Congrats to [Prohm] and his familiy on the new born,” Morris wrote on Twitter. “I’ll take cass for a few days a week now.” Prohm replied: “You can start tomorrow!!” Women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly chimed in as well.

“Congrats to the Prohm family on the addition of a beatiful daughter!” he tweeted. The timing of the birth worked out for the family. Katie’s due date was March 27, which could have caused conflicts had the Cyclones made a deep run into the NCAA Tournament. Steve had a contingency plan in place in case Katie went into labor — assistant coach William Small would’ve taken the reins — but he never had to exercise it, as Iowa State fell to Purdue in the second round on March 18.

Arab Film Festival 14 students advance to Cyclone Voice singing competition to debut at ISU Event to feature award-winning Arab shows By Tisa.Tollenaar @iowastatedaily.com

“Theeb” will be shown Friday in 2019 Morrill Hall at 5 p.m.

The Arabic program will host its first Arab Film Festival Thursday through Saturday. The festival will include viewings of award-winning films from Arab countries. Each day will be devoted to one of three selected films, but all three are spoken in Arabic with English subtitles. The showings will take place from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in 2019 Morrill Hall all three days. Arabic coffee and popcorn will be provided to attendees courtesy of the Arab Students Association. The Arabic program decided to host the festival this month because it is National Arab American Heritage Month. Its intention is to show Arab contributions to cinema. The three movies selected for the festival are not only award-winning movies but they also will inform attendees of the festival about various aspects in Arab culture that are often overshadowed in Western media. Thursday’s showing will be “On the Bride’s Side” (“Lo Sto con la Sposa”), which is a 2014 drama film produced in Italy but features a predominantly Arab cast. The plot is about a Palestinian poet and Italian journalist who encounter a group of fellow Palestinians and Syrians who are attempting to get to Sweden to escape the civil unrest in the Arab region. They attempt safe passage by faking a wedding to avoid being arrested as traffickers. The movie won the FEDIC Award at the Venice International Film Festival in 2014. Friday’s film will be “Theeb.” It is described as “a coming-of-age story of a young Jordanian Bedouin boy, Theeb, as he embarks on a perilous desert journey to guide a British

officer to his secret destination during the Middle East theater of World War I.” “Theeb” was produced in Jordan and was released in 2014. Rather than hiring professional actors, the film uses actors from the Bedouin area of southern Jordan. Writer Bassel Ghandour and director Naji Abu Nowar both spent a year living in the desert with the Bedouins to familiarize themselves with their customs and lifestyle.“Theeb” has been nominated for and won awards, including an Academy Award nomination for “Best Foreign Film” in 2014. The festival will conclude with Saturday’s viewing of “Wadjda.” The film centers around a Saudi Arabian girl named Wadjda, who attempts to save money for a bicycle. It tells the story of how people live their lives through the experiences of a little girl and serves as a glimpse into the role of females in Saudi society and the social and subsequent legal restrictions placed upon them. Released in 2012, it is the first feature-length film created by a female Saudi director and shot entirely in Saudi Arabia. The film secured a nomination for “Best Foreign Film” at the 2014 BAFTA Awards. The director, Haifaa Al-Mansour, won the Alliance of Women Film Journalists’ “This Year’s Outstanding Achievement By a Woman in the Film Industry” in 2013 for highlighting the issues women face in her country. The film has been nominated for and has won countless awards. Parks Library is also celebrating National Arab American Heritage Month by featuring a book display that highlights contributions of Arab Americans in different disciplines.

The Great Hall of the Memorial Union will play host to the finals for the Cyclone Voice competition at 8 p.m. Thursday. The Student Union Board (SUB) hosts the competition annually to find great musical talent among the Iowa State student population. The participants sing songs of their choice to win over the judges and advance to new rounds, similar to “American Idol” or “The Voice.” Only 14 Iowa State students impressed preliminary scouts well enough to advance to the final round, and every singer has their mindset on winning this coveted competition. SUB is bringing in country music artist Lauren Alaina as a guest celebrity judge for the finals. After making it to the final round of American Idol in 2011, she made a name for herself as a runner-up with songs such as “Georgia Peaches,” “Like My Mother Does” and “Road Less Traveled.”

Lauren Alaina will be a guest celebrity judge.

Alaina will emcee the show and perform a few songs before the winner is announced. There was stiff competition in the preliminary rounds, and many participants had no idea who would advance. The 14 students are listed below. • Tyler Geiger, freshman in agricultural business, Deep River, Iowa • Emmy Rose Cuvelier, junior in performing arts, Fort Collins, Iowa • Keeley McEniryn, sophomore in

mass communication, Waukee, Iowa • Megan Van Kirk, senior in event management, Cedar Rapids, Iowa • Hailey Padgett, senior in graphic design and advertising, Des Moines, Iowa • Samantha Kragel, freshman in pre-interior design, Marion, Iowa • Nick Pigott, senior in English Springfield, Missouri • Jess Tharp, sophomore in animal science, Waverly, Iowa • Hannah Bird, junior in nutritional Science, Emmetsburgs, Iowa • Derek Lutt, freshman in prebusiness, Singapore, Singapore • Brooke Whitney, freshman in animal science, Maquoketa, Iowa • Sharla Charlton, junior in psychology, Pella, Iowa • EllieMae Millenkamp, freshman in agricultural business, Jerome, Idaho • Hannahjoy McNeal, freshman in journalism, Burnsville, Minnesota Alaina and the Cyclone Voice finalists will perform Thursday night in the Great Hall. The show is free for students, and seating will be first come, first serve.

Students weigh in on spring car cleaning By Madison.Tuttle @iowastatedaily.com With spring finally here, it might be time to clean out the stuff that you have been accumulating in your car. Today, people have access to automated car washes, professionals who will clean the interior for free and basic tools needed to do it themselves. We asked Iowa State students about their spring cleaning methods. Here’s what some students do to remove the clutter and dirt: “Whenever I clean my car I always remember to clean under the seat because you’ll be surprised what you find down there.” - Gabby Bunge, sophomore in communications “I take it to the car wash and don’t do the automatic. I do the soap and water with the high-power sprayer. Then I go home, take a towel and dry off the outside of it. If you don’t, it will water-spot, so you have to hand dry it. Then I’ll clean the rims, use Windex and alcohol to get all the windows inside and out. I will

also wax the car on outside with Carnauba, a type of wax, and then vacuum the

entire car and add interior dressing. All of this should take an hour if that.”

- Ryan Hale, senior in management “I will clean my car little

by little. I’ll start by removing trash and any clothes from the car. After that, I’ll

go back and vacuum it out if I’m feeling fancy.” - Katelyn Sim, senior in public relations and event management “I usually take it somewhere to be washed. But when I go home during breaks my dad usually washes it and then vacuums and cleans the interior.” - Katie Holtkamp, senior in psychology “I wash my car by hand or take it somewhere. Sometimes I just run it through the car wash so I don’t have to go out and do it.” - Brooke Neymeyer, senior in interdisciplinary studies “I guess I would say you should always keep a bucket with a sponge and cleaning supplies in it. Always buy a long sponge cleaner thing to get the top of your car too. Sometimes regular soap can clean your tires, but generally I would suggest getting special tire cleaner. Lastly, I suggest soaking the car then washing and rinsing, and always use a towel to dry the car off so you avoid water spots.” - Erik Van Treeck, senior in management

Do the research before buying a used car By Tyler.Mardis @iowastatedaily.com For most students, buying a car is an expensive purchase that is not made on a whim. Buying a used car from a dealership may seem like the best option. It can be significantly more affordable than buying a new car and simpler for someone with no car knowledge other than Craigslist, but it can still be an overwhelming experience. By staying conscious of what you are looking for and taking the time to consider various options, buying a used car from a dealership is not as big of a challenge as it may appear. Doug Krogman, preowned sales manager at Honda of Ames and Lithia Nissan of Ames, said car buyers need to consider their personal needs and how the car will be used when looking for a car. Personal needs range from person-to-person and can include things like number of seats, amount of trunk space, heating and air condi-

tioning. Looking at what the car will be used for includes things like the road conditions of where the car will be driven, potential environmental impacts that the car will have to be able to handle and amount of miles that the

car will be driven in a short period of time. Charles Bergmann, owner of AmesCars.com, said that it is important to have a price in mind. By having a price in mind, the selection of cars can be narrowed to an

affordable amount and no money, or a minimal amount would have to be taken out to purchase a car. Bergmann also said that it is important to do research on the internet before purchasing a car.

“[There are] no ‘too good to be true’ deals,” Bergmann said. Although great deals exist, if research shows something is unrealistic for a car, there is likely something that you do not know about the car that

would depreciate its value. There is no magic answer to getting a good deal. “There is not one detail over another that we would give attention to,” Krogman said. With individuals having unique needs, there is nothing in every car that is equally important to every individual. Even though there is nothing that makes or breaks a car, there are two things that should be looked at in every car: miles and age of the car. The more miles and the older the car, the more probable problems are to arise. “Every car has its needs,” Bergmann said. The perfect car for one person may be the worst car for another. It is also important to remember that the car being bought is used, it is likely not going to be perfect and in off-the-factory-line condition. Although a used car may not be perfect, preowned cars are affordable, reliable and can still be a high-quality car, which can work perfectly for a college student.

REFLECTION p1 begins, is meant to allow students to have an adequate, expected amount of time to study for their finals. Staudt and West surveyed the student body, finding in approximately 6,000 responses, about 80 percent expressed frustrations about testing during Dead Week. The amendment that Student Government proposed forbade professors from giving exams, tests and quizzes during the Thursday and Friday of Dead Week. Staudt and West also implemented town hall meetings that gave the Iowa State community a platform to voice how they feel Student Government can do a better job of representing the student body. “[The town hall] was just supposed to be a State of the Student Body address and then go into what we can do as Student Government to make Iowa State a more inclusive campus,” West said. Just a week before the town hall, white heritage posters were found on campus, which completely changed the content of the discussion. Students were upset with the university’s reaction to the posters and voiced these concerns at the town hall. As West moves on to become the next student body president, he wants to continue to host these town halls but include a proactive approach as well. This year, Staudt and West were mainly putting these events together on their own. West feels that town halls could run smoother and happen more regularly if all of Student Government pitched in. Staudt took a special interest in the promise to help get a medical amnesty bill passed through the Iowa Legislature. He was motivated by an experience where he wanted to get a struggling friend medical attention but feared getting trouble for underage drinking. If passed into law, Iowans who experience medical emergencies due to underage alcohol consumption will be immune to legal consequences, allowing them to get help without fear of prosecution. “It could affect any of us. No one should go into college feeling unsafe,” Speaker Danielle Nygard said. The bill – SF 415 – passed unanimously through the Iowa Senate on March 15 and will now continue to the Iowa House of Representatives before it will go on to be signed by Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad. Michael Snook, Student Government finance director, served as vice speaker last year and was part of the effort to push for medical amnesty at the university level. The thought was to get protection for Iowa State students. When Staudt and West were brought on, Snook said “they really ran with it” and started to work on it at the state level last spring. “It was much beyond the scope imagined,” Snook said.

Cody West, junior in biology, and Cole Staudt, senior in public relations, served as the student body vice president and student body president, respectively, during the 2016-2017 school year.

Staudt and West are still very hopeful about this bill after its recent success in the Senate. “It looks like it’s got a pretty bright future ahead of it, so that’s exciting,” Vice President-elect Smith said. Snook said that there may be potential for the inclusion of medical amnesty in the case of drug usage in the future. “I would encourage future Student Government members to pursue this,” Snook said. Staudt does have one regret when looking back at how he handled the Big 12 expansion chaos. In September 2016, the Student Government passed a resolution that came out against the potential addition of Brigham Young University to the Big 12 Conference – a bill Staudt opposed. The resolution made the claim to administration that “BYU’s discriminatory policies and practices are inconsistent with the values of the Big 12.” This claim was made based on opposition to BYU’s Honor Code, which forbids students from having sexual relations with individuals of the same sex, as well as all other forms of intimacy that may “give expression to homosexual feelings.” Staudt expressed his opposition to the bill, agreeing with presidents of other Big 12 universities who believed that a stance shouldn’t be taken at all, and that the Big 12 doesn’t make change by excluding people. Looking back, Staudt said that

preferred pronouns on during the event. Enriquez used the buttons as an analogy to providing consent when it comes to sexual assault. Enriquez also felt that sexual assault was a major issue facing the LGBT community. “I’m not very well versed

the debate that day got a little out of hand. He wishes it would have been handled it better. “What’s done is done, and in the grand scheme of things, it was really a minor incident,” Staudt said. The president and vice president both agreed that days when such big news comes out are the worst days. Iowa State President Steven Leath’s announcement of his departure was the most recent instance of this. The announcement led to all the publications in the area wanting them to provide comment. West even had to skip class to speak with KCCI. All the work that they put in this position was not simply to put something on their résumé or to get a leg up when looking for jobs after graduation, they said. “If you’re doing this to put it on your résumé and for the title, you’re obviously in it for the wrong reasons, and I don’t think you truly know the scope of the position because once you actually get into it and you start working, it’s really hard not get burned out on it,” West said. This time commitment has given them a unique experience many college students won’t experience. He expressed that this discouragement is at its highest when initiatives that he has been pushing all year don’t come to fruition. Despite all of this, West is ready for another year of leading Student Government to work on the things he is passionate about to better Iowa State.

in the history of it, but it’s definitely important we’re here,” Enriquez said. The Collegiate Panhellenic Council was also present to show support for Start by Believing. Renee Layoun, senior in business economics, felt the issue mattered to all communities at Iowa

State. “I think it’s an issue everyone faces, not just in the greek community,” Layoun said. “The greek community is a large percentage of people at Iowa State, so I think it’s important we’re taking an active step to spread awareness on the issue.”

Student Government, only 20 percent of the senate was female. Archevald said the problem is getting women to run, even though it has been found that women who run for office are just as likely to get elected as men. Julian Neely, chair for the diversity committee, works to bridge this disparity, among others. Though they have seen an increase in international students and other multicultural students, the senate and Student Government as a whole is still predominately white. On his agenda coming into this past year was getting senators and cabinet members to interact with different groups on campus whose voices aren’t heard. “That deals with students who identify as black, African-American, international students,” Neely said. “That deals with LatinX students. Things like that where those identities aren’t really present in senate.” He added that the LGBTQ+ community and students with disabilities are included on this list.

Neely also worked to educate the student body through several events that gave a platform for students to talk about their identities. One of these was called “You Wouldn’t Know This About Me But.” Despite the events being sponsored by Student Government, Neely said that only a couple members who weren’t members of the diversity committee attended the event. “I feel like all of the senate should attend these events just because it is for Student Government, so I feel like you should be there in support and also just to take the opportunity to learn as well,” Neely said. Cody Smith, who will be inaugurated as Student Government vice president Thursday night, has some plans in mind to improve the diversity of Student Government. If someone feels they are being discriminated against because of background and feel like their input is being silenced, Smith recommends that they talk to a leader of Student Government because he can’t think of one leader who would not be willing to help.
