Senate funds projects

Gender-dominated majors call for diversity By Lexie.Troutman @iowastatedaily.com

Special projects account used to fund improvements

owa State has dozens of majors to fit each student’s interests and abilities, but some of these majors have been predominantly ruled by one gender over the other. Out of 455 students enrolled in the apparel, merchandising and design major, 26 of them are men. Christine Wise, academic adviser for apparel, events and hospitality management, explained how there were various things the department did to get more men interested in the program, such as showcasing them in their promotional videos and photographs. Wise receives a notice when a man shows up on the prospective student database. The design school tries to encourage those students to come on campus for a visit. Dustin Young, senior in apparel, merchandising and design, agreed that students who visit campus are more likely to take interest in the program. “Our program is getting bigger, and we are in the top 20 design programs in the world,” Young said. “I think with that growing it’s going to have more potential for people to come visit Iowa State and become more interested in the major.” In high school, Young applied to Iowa State as an aerospace engineering major. After taking calculus his senior year, he decided against the engineering field and arrived at Iowa State with an open option before settling on apparel. Young’s parents and friends were excited for him when he chose his major, saying they knew Young was interested in fashion and they were supportive of his decision. However, alternative stigmas came later. “When they think of apparel, they think of home economics and that

Out of 455 students majoring in the apparel, merchandising and design, 26 of them are men. Only 28 of the 246 students in software engineering are women.

The last Senate meeting of the current session of Student Government was a full night of funding bills to be debated and voted on. Three main bills that were co-written by Student Government President Dan Breitbarth requested funds for almost $300,000 for various projects around campus, which would come out of the special projects account. The account currently has $650,000. One bill aimed to add 45 solar-powered trash compactors around campus. This would cost $157,500, and all of the compactors would be in place by the fall. The bill passed with a vote of 38 to 3. Sen. Cole Staudt cautioned that even though the special projects account has a surplus, “We need to make sure the money is being spent to improve campus.” Sen. Zackary Reece tried to add an amendment to the bill that would add $8,500 to fund new lights poles and new bulbs for the area between Carver Hall and Parks Library. Reece introduced a lighting bill twice previously, but both were tabled. Staudt said an amendment like that is not in vein with the original bill and would cause him to vote against the bill as a whole. The amendment failed by a vote of 11 to 15 to 5. One bill called for $115,000 for the addition of outdoor furniture placed around campus for students to relax or eat, with some locations being by the library or west of Kildee. Breitbarth rattled off dates in the winter that were above 50 degrees, dispelling the argument of weather being an issue.

The Daily selects new editors-in-chief By Michaela.Ramm and Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com Emily Barske and Austin Anderson waited nervously in the newsroom of the Iowa State Daily, waiting for the publication board to conclude its meeting and call them in for presentations. Anderson paced. Barske sat, fingers laced together. Anderson, assistant sports editor, and Barske, special sections editor, were waiting to give their pitch to apply for the position of 2016-2017 editor-in-chief of the Iowa State Daily Media Group. The final decision was in the

hands of the publication board, a group of individuals composed of media professionals and student representatives who oversees the media group and make major decisions for the organization. When Barske, second year at Iowa State in journalism and marketing and the 2016 summer intern at the Cedar Rapids Gazette, was chosen for the position, she smiled and respectfully shook hands with Anderson. “As editor-in-chief, my goal would be to find new, better and different ways to strengthen our relevance in the ISU community,” she said. Barske said she would like to

spend 60 percent of her time outside of the newsroom interacting with the community and 40 percent bringing in what she’s learned in the community to the newsroom. She plans to create new positions within the newsroom, including a digital editor and a web analytics coordinator. She said she hopes to revamp another position to create the engagement coordinator. As a student who has been involved with many other student organizations on campus, Barske said she identified The Daily as the one that held the most value for her.

“[Other groups] have been focused on one issue or one focus,” Barske said. “The Daily is talking about any issue, and it gives students the opportunity to have a voice. There are so many things we cover, and we have the potential to influence.” Barske said her experience in various other student organizations will help her to understand her audiences, something Lawrence Cunningham, general manager of the Iowa State Daily Media Group said is a big focus of the overall organization. “There was a time as a business

Report shows crime decrease By Alex.Connor @iowastatedaily.com The seventh annual report on campus safety and security, which outlines the 2015 fiscal year, was released Monday and presented by the Campus Safety and Security Sub-Committee of the Iowa Board of Regents on Wednesday. The report includes information from all three Iowa public universities: Iowa State, the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa, where topics such as mass communications capabilities, physical security capabilities and crime statistics are addressed. Crime statistics The report issued a summary of the number of offenses, total charges and total arrests by quarter for the 2014 and 2015 calendar years among all three universities. The report states that there were 1,879 offenses at Iowa State

in 2015, compared to 2,042 offenses in 2014. Out of those offenses, there were 1,011 charges in 2015, 264 less than 2014. Out of the 1,011, 792 ended in arrests, according to the report. Compared to Iowa and Northern Iowa, where 20 percent of the offenses resulted in arrests, 42 percent of Iowa State’s offenses resulted in an arrest. The document also included the number of charges brought against students and the number of alcohol-related charges out of the total charges. “Alcohol-related charges include: public intoxication, operating while intoxicated, possession of alcohol under legal age, open container, bootlegging, providing liquor to a minor and attempting to purchase alcohol by minor and serving/selling alcohol after hours,” the report stated. About 66 percent of charges were against ISU students, and 35 percent of the charges were alcohol-related and student in-

volved. Only 13 percent of student charges were alcohol-related at Iowa, and 17 percent of student charges were alcohol-related at Northern Iowa. At a glance Iowa State has 37 sworn, statecertified officers, while Iowa has 34 and Northern Iowa has 18. All three universities employ parttime students who assist the police departments with dispatch and other related duties, according to the report. The number of community service officers and number of hours of security staffing also increased at Iowa State. A full-time department supervisor was also assigned to the College of Veterinary Medicine. Iowa State also recently finalized implementation of on-call sexual assault nurse examiners, increased the number of doors controlled by electronic access systems and increased the number of digital cameras across campus.

Katy Klopfenstein/Iowa State Daily

The seventh annual Campus Safety Report for fiscal year 2015 showed a decrease in crime at Iowa State. The total numbers of offenses/incidents, charges and people arrested were all lower than they were in 2014.

In regard to mass communication, “two situations required the issuance of an emergency warning message to community members” during the 2015 calendar year, the result of both alerts convening to a successful resolution, according to the report. Social media was also touched

on in the report, which stated that Twitter and Facebook were initiated in 2013 to create positive interactions with the community. They are deemed effective with the department having approximately 4,838 likes on Face-

Rob Hogg predicts growing issues

STUGOV p1 “The weather argument is [invalid], plain and simple,” Breitbarth said. Some senators raised concerns about the types of furniture that would be purchased and what style is best. The bill passed by a vote of 27 to 2. Another bill requested $24,840 for new seating on the terrace of the Memorial Union. It passed unanimously with no discussion. The campus radio station KURE will host a music festival in October for the seventh year in a row. This will be a day of music, food and diverse performances. The radio station was allocated $18,000 unanimously to host KURE Fest next fall. Cody Shepherd, president of the ISU Finance Club, talked about a funding bill for a trip to a conference in Chicago that would cost $1,392. The bill failed by a vote of 10 to 17. The Finance Committee sent the bill unfavorably. Shepherd explained that the club welcomes all majors and is not as professionally specific as the Finance Committee might have originally thought. He also said if Student Government did not approve the allocation it would not be able to attend the trip. “We are simply enforcing the rules we enforce on all other clubs,” said Sen. Ryan Starn. The Cultural Ambassadors Program was allocated $3,500 to support the transition in language and culture for international students by a vote of 26 to 1, with Sen. Peter Myers voting against the bill.

Senator expects more Supreme Court problems By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com U.S. Senate candidate Rob Hogg predicts the fight over the Supreme Court nominee will only get bigger throughout the campaign season if Chuck Grassley continues to hold up the process. Hogg, a Democratic state senator from Cedar Rapids, said his campaign will focus around making Congress work, and Grassley, the Judiciary Committee chairman, not holding hearings is a prime example of inaction. “I certainly hope Sen. Grassley does his job, provides a hearing and we have a vote,” Hogg told the Iowa State Daily on Tuesday. “I continue to hope they have the hearing, and if they don’t, yes, this will be an issue that not only continues, but I think this issue grows.” Grassley has the power to call the hearings needed to move the nomination process along, but he stuck firm with fellow Republicans in the Senate who have said that a hearing should be delayed until the next president takes office. Republicans cite the need to give the American people “a voice” in the process because some states have already voted in presidential primaries. Grassley did agree to

GENDER p1 that’s where the women need to be,” Young said. “Times are definitely changing and that’s not the way it is anymore.” Out of the 20 professors in apparel, only one of them is a man. Young said he has never had a male professor, but some of his teaching assistants have been men. “I don’t mind it,” Young said. “I think it’s cool [having female professors] because I feel like I’m also helping them in some ways.” Theresa Lauritsen, junior in apparel, merchandising and design, has also noticed the low number of male professors at Iowa State. “I think that it’s the same way in a lot of places,” Lauritsen said. “The ratio of guys and girls in the industry is so drastic.” Elena Karpova, professor of apparel, events and hospitality management who has taught at Iowa State for 11 years, has taken an interest in researching how male students feel being minorities in this major. Karpova has visited apparel programs in China, South Africa and Australia, which are all primarily female. A lack of research about gender diversity in apparel led Karpova to begin her own. “I was curious to see what experiences they had as students,” Karpova said. Young said he never feels like he is singled out. Lauritsen agreed with this statement, and said she has never noticed any of the male students being grouped together. “Everyone gets along,” Lauritsen said. “They all have different backgrounds and bring in different perspectives.”

meet with Garland, a move more than a dozen other Republican senators have also agreed to do, but in the meeting over breakfast, Grassley said he will make it clear why the Senate will not hold a hearing. “With every day that’s passing, here’s the question people should be asking: ‘So, Sen. Grassley, you’re not having a hearing on Judge [Merrick] Garland, what exactly is it you are doing in Washington?’” Hogg said. “I think he has trouble answering that.” Hogg, who was visiting Iowa State for a campaign event Tuesday, also praised

Garland for his record already, specifically citing his role in convicting the Oklahoma City bombing suspect. “I think they would be hard-pressed to vote this nominee down,” Hogg said. “In addition to have been confirmed by a Republican Senate in 1997, in my view, he’s an American hero because he was the prosecutor in Oklahoma City. I continue to hope they actually have the hearing.” Hogg better positioned to win against other Democrats Along with Hogg, former Lt. Gov. Patty Judge and

The numbers of male students has been a gradual increase in the last few years, but Karpova believes it will continue to rise. “My first few years, in my courses I’ve either been the only boy or with one other,” Young said. “Now there are courses where I’d have five or six guys in my classes, so it’s definitely growing.” For Julie Dickerson, professor of electrical and computer engineering, the gender gap does not appear to be closing in the software engineering program. Dickerson, who has worked at Iowa State for 20 years, said she has not noticed a clear increase in the number of female students since she was an undergraduate. Johnny Wong, director of the software engineering program at Iowa State, said the ratio for female students is increasing, but there is still room for improvement. Wong mentioned how the national average for women in the major is 16 percent. At Iowa State, 246 undergraduate students are studying software engineering, and 28 of them are women. Iowa State is slightly below the average, but Wong said one of the main things schools can do to encourage any interested students is to have them fully understand what the major is and what can be done with it. Dickerson added that in order to encourage more females to get interested in the field, the idea needs to be brought up when they are in middle school and high school. Brianna Gerads, senior in software engineering, did not say her interest in engineering was overly encouraged in high school. She was a member of a rocket team

at her school, and the team’s adviser was a woman. “It was weird,” Gerads said. “She wasn’t very supportive of women. She was used to having men on the team.” Dickerson said it is difficult to be unbiased when she is constantly surrounded by it at her workplace. “We may be looking at a female in a group and saying that she’s pushy instead of saying she is intellectually aggressive and standing up for what she knows,” Dickerson said. Dickerson mentioned a study that was done two years ago where a group of male and female professors were given two identical résumés. The male résumé was chosen over the female by all of the professors. “It’s a very ingrained bias and it is very deep,” Dickerson said. “We need to be aware that we have that bias and make sure we’re encouraging everyone in class.” David Bis, junior in software engineering, said he thought he had a good mix of men and women on his teams in his courses with heavy group work. Bis said he believes the reason there are not many female professors in the field has to do with the time when they were growing up. “Growing up, you were more likely to see males in engineering,” Bis said. “Nowadays, that barrier is much less, so there’s a better mix of female students.” Wong said Iowa State tries to encourage young women to attend the Grace Hopper Conference, which encourages them to continue their interest in software and computing.

two former state legislators, Tom Fiegen and Bob Krause, are hoping to clinch the Democratic nomination to take on Grassley in November. Judge has received the most attention, mainly because of her statewide recognition and sudden entrance in the race. She also visited Washington, D.C., days after announcing her candidacy to meet with national Democrats. While Judge has picked up the support of some former statewide office holders, Hogg has support of most Democrats in the statehouse.

The ISU Police Department has also started using Instagram within the past few weeks. On threat assessment and management, the report stated that both Iowa and Northern Iowa have had a Threat Assessment Team (TAT) implemented, which works to “proactively prepare the campus to manage situations and issues that may threaten the safety and security of students.” Iowa State, which has used a Threat Assessment and Management System (TAMS) for more than 20 years, also works to manage and reduce potential threats. ISU officers responded to 190 welfare checks and 772

“I admire Lt. Gov. Judge. I voted for her four times, but the reality is the last time she was on the ballot, she lost by over 100,000 votes and there was a lack of enthusiasm in that race,” Hogg said. “In my judgement, I would be a better candidate in the general election because of that.” Hogg said he is not worried about what people nationally think. He’s instead planning on building a grassroots campaign that meets with as many Iowans as possible. Iowa’s primary election for the U.S. Senate seat is set for June 7. incidents involving suspicious people and/or activity in 2015, according to the report. Both Iowa State and Iowa are in a mutual aid agreement with other law enforcement agencies in the area, which allows officers to work corroboratively with other agencies to ensure safety in the community. Northern Iowa regularly meets with Cedar Falls police to discuss active cases and problems within and around the campus, the report stated. In regard to physical security capabilities, Iowa State has installed more than 600 cameras in public areas throughout campus buildings, according to the report. “These have proven to be effective tools for deterrence and identification,” the report stated. In the 2015 calendar year, ISU officers provided 282 prevention and outreach programs to faculty, staff and students, instructing approximately 37,673 peo-

ple, according to the report. The programs addressed topics such as workplace violence, personal safety, alcohol laws, sexual assault awareness, social media safety, etc. No information was provided for Iowa State regarding the training of public safety personnel. However, ISU Police exceeded national accreditation standards in their instruction regarding departmental use of force policies and federal laws, along with qualifying officers with their issued sidearms. No officers discharged their firearms, according to the report, except for during approved training purposes and with a single exception of dispatching a severely injured deer. In regard to student involvement, such as the safety escort program, which has been operated by ISU Police for about 18 years, the service provided 6,279 safety escorts in 2015, 316 less than 2014, according to the report.

OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

EDITORIAL

College campuses have right to free speech

Courtesy of iStock

Katie Smith, senior in public relations and women’s studies, believes Charles Braun’s letter to the editor in Tuesday’s paper titled “Political correctness plagues Iowa State” offers a chance to educate and sustain Iowa State’s diverse communities and work toward ending discrimination.

Learn from discriminatory letter Iowa State must educate, sustain diverse communities By Katie Smith Senior in public relations and women’s studies I read your article, Charles Braun, and it’s very clear that you are passionate about how you feel in regard to political correctness, and so am I. First, let’s define the term. According to Merriam-Webster, politically correct means “agreeing with the idea that people should be careful to not use language or behave in a way that could offend a particular group of people,” and that was their “simple” definition. I’m curious to know if you actually knew this definition before you wrote your article. If not, now you do. Your article does raise an interesting point. There are people who both work at and attend this university who feel they are walking on eggshells, trying not to accidentally crack the feelings of a minority group on campus. I assure you that is not the intention of people who believe in being politically correct. We want to speak about how we feel, and that is something that American citizens should cherish as a right of freedom. The act of being politically correct doesn’t mean you cannot voice your opinions. It means that you should do so in a polite and well-educated way. However, targeting one group does not follow that line of respect, and whether you realize it or not, that’s exactly what you did in your letter. You point out the act of being too politically correct in regard to sex, gender and sexuality, yet you reference nothing about race or class, and barely touch on religion, only referencing atheists complaining about Christmas tress. These are all groups with very distinct and, in your eyes, “too politically correct” minorities. Why did you only feel the

need to cover what seems to be the LGBT group? To claim that you’re not attempting to single out one group of individuals and offend them, as per the definition we laid out on “politically correct,” you have made yourself a public, ignorant liar at not only a greatly diverse school, but your own place of work. For one, I did read closely when you talked about all of the forms of love being created equal. I found it interesting that heterosexual also made that list. I can give you two words that should sum up a majority of the issue with your statement and that is CONSENTING ADULTS. Necrophilia, bestiality and pedophilia are all forms of relationships that do not consist of consenting adults. The reason that incestuous relationships are not, is there has been scientific evidence that it can cause birth defects because of the closeness in genetics, as well as certain cases of pedophilia, rape and psychological manipulation playing a role. I’m also not sure that comparing a trans* individual to the alien limb syndrome you mention is appropriate. For one, gender and sex are different from each other. Gender is a societal expectation, much like you’re proving in your letter by expecting people to behave a certain way. Sex, however, is biological, but can also be changed with modern science and technology. This is important to point out because a large impacter on trans* people is gender, which is society’s view of how they should be. Why is society so concerned with what another individual dresses in or chooses to be? Now, yes, someone cutting off their limb is a bit of a concern, mainly because it is an actual danger to their safety, as well as others. Being trans* is not dangerous, nor does it affect someone’s safety. Now, Mr. Braun, there are parts of your letter that I just simply don’t understand. For instance, the zodiac sign. After working at this campus for nine years, as you claim, I’m appalled that you seem to not understand the meaning of the tradition of the zodiac sign. People don’t avoid it because they find

it annoying. They avoid it because there is a myth that if students walk over the zodiac, they will fail their next test. To combat that, they must throw a penny in the Fountain of the Four Seasons. Ask any ISU tour guide taking prospective students around campus. Also, you mention that we as a university ignore sustainability. Did you know that there are many great student organizations and programs at Iowa State University that promote sustainability and a better environment? We are not an ignorant campus and we actually do great things for our environment through things such as Keep Iowa State Beautiful, Conservation Club, Engineers for a Sustainable World, NextGen Climate, Environmental Education Club and The Green Umbrella, just to name a few. To further educate yourself on LGBT matters, you can visit the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Student Services center on campus, as it’s clear that you have been misinformed about many of the aspects of this community. In closing, you might want to talk to your employer, ISU Dining, and ensure that they are providing adequate diversity training, as not being accepting and “politically correct” to the many diverse and ever-changing students on this campus creates a very unsafe environment for them. Times have changed, and sure, you may view it as a sensitivity problem, but I view it as people listening and engaging with one another. We’re finally learning to respect the needs of others, whether we agree with them or not. I’m glad we’re not back in the 1980s, otherwise LGBT people wouldn’t be able to get married or adopt children. Think of what all has happened since the 1980s in regard to so many civil rights fronts, and this is all because we’ve been respecting one another and listening. To me, that is progress, and I urge the communities that were targeted by your letter to not be hurt by your words, and instead use them as a chance to educate and sustain our diverse communities and to end discrimination.

between things. If I didn’t discriminate between my keys I wouldn’t be able to open my front door. Where I disagree, however — and this is important — is that discrimination, when used in the first sense of the word, does indeed exist and, yes, it’s “bad.” It hurts people. On this campus. Every. Day. You are proof of this. This brings me to my second point regarding your use of “gender alphabet soup,” in which you discriminate against the LGBTQIAA+ community unfairly and cause students to suffer. First of all, take another look at the nouns in your list: a few sexual orientations, a few crimes and a few mental

disorders. (None of which are genders.) Other than the fact that they all somehow involve sex, there is no relationship between, for example, homosexuality — consensual love between same-sex individuals — and incest, which is a particularly heinous form of rape. If you honestly cannot see why forms of love different from your own are equally valid, allow me to assert one. Because both parties give their consent. This is not the case with pedophilia, bestiality, necrophilia or incest. As for Iowa State’s stellar reputation, I recommend you look more kindly upon Iowa State’s current student body — they are your future after all.

Students attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill may soon be penalized if they protest at public meetings or events. North Carolina’s Lt. Gov. Dan Forest is proposing a Campus Free Expression Act this month, but the act may do just the opposite of its name. The act instructs UNC’s Board of Governors to create a systemwide policy “that unmistakably affirms the value of free expression,” which is really asking the board to create a systemwide policy that would penalize staff, faculty and students — sometimes to the point of expulsion — who disrupt classes, meetings or public events. Basically, for protesting. This act would also charge the Board of Governors to form a committee on free speech that would produce an annual report and ensure the university maintains neutrality on police and social issues. Some publications have reported that the bill is an attempt to punish people for “engaging in conscious acts stifling the First Amendment rights of others.” “[The act] bars students, faculty, members, employees, or any other member of the UNC system, from interfering with the freedom of others to express their views,” said Stanley Kurtz, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C., who worked with Forest to draft the act. “That means no shouting down a visiting speaker, and no more obstruction of legitimate meetings and events.” While this idea may come from a good place that is attempting to level the playing field of opinions, it would stifle First Amendment rights. Attempting to protect one’s First Amendment rights without stifling another’s is a difficult line to walk. The discussion also revolves around whether it should be the university’s job to dictate who can say what and where they can say it. Think back to when the Board of Regents appointed Bruce Harreld to be the next University of Iowa president after Sally Mason’s retirement. An October Board of Regents meeting was also the host to a group of University of Iowa students and faculty who protested Harreld’s appointment. The regents’ selection of Harreld has been criticized since his name was on the table. While he is still the sitting president, students, faculty and staff at the University of Iowa have made their concerns known, hopefully holding the Board of Regents accountable to be transparent in its selection and activating the community with its democratic right and duty to ensure its governing entities are doing their jobs in a fair way. Michael Kumpf, protesting with Iowans Defending Our Universities, told Iowa’s Channel 5 We Are Iowa News that “The Board of Regents as I understand it conducted a search that was not open or fair. The other candidates did not have a chance.” Had it not been for these acts protected by the First Amendment making these concerns heard, the Board of Regents could have swept its search under the rug and performed future searches in the same manner. Virginia and Missouri have passed similar laws as North Carolina. Three’s a crowd, and a crowd is news. If this continues, colleges and universities could face restrictions on their First Amendment rights. Colleges and universities should be marketplaces of different viewpoints, and prohibiting people from expressing their viewpoint, even if it differs from the majority, can begin a detrimental ripple effect on free speech on college campuses.

ISU basketball greats to host camp By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com Two of Iowa State’s greatest basketball minds are putting their heads and skills together to host a basketball camp this summer. Former ISU basketball players Lyndsey Fennelly and Georges Niang will host a camp June 20 for boys entering third grade through senior year in high school. The camp has a $200 entry fee and will go from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. College, high school and youth basketball coaches in the area along with other former ISU players will also help out with the camp. “I was so eager to give back to a community that gave so much to me and give me an opportunity that I could only dreamed of,” Niang said. “I’m eager to go out and work with the kids.” The idea for a camp spawned last summer, Fennelly said, when Niang worked with her at some of her summer sessions. She threw out the idea to Niang about hosting a camp in his name when he finished playing basketball at Iowa State. After Niang finished his last game as a Cyclone, the talks picked up and they got into details. Fennelly was the mastermind behind the camp, getting the administrative details in order and setting up the website. “I know he understands his legacy,” Fennelly said. “He always is giving back to kids. He fully understands the impact that a full-day camp would have over the kids in the summer. That led me to believe that it would be fun to partner with him on this.” After they ironed out the details, the two promoted the camp on social media. Niang shot a tweet to Fennelly, saying he wanted to dish out some lessons on his “old man game.” The exchange went back and forth and a website was posted 24 hours later. “I thought it would be a unique way to post on social media and get some excitement about it before we just post it,” Fennelly said. “I’d say it worked.” Fennelly said 50 percent of the camp’s capacity was filled on the first day, which is “unheard of.” The schedule for the camp starts at 8 a.m., when attendees can check in and interact with Niang. Each person will get a 5-by-9 foot autographed photo with Niang. But after that hour, the

camp will commence. “At 9:01, Georges is a normal human being that will be walking around and helping the kids,” Fennelly said. “The ‘Wow’ factor of Georges ends at 9:01, and then it’s time to get to work and have a great full day of hoops.” As for the focus in the camp, Niang and Fennelly said they want to work on all-around skills, not just particular ones. Niang also said he wants to “relay his messages about working hard.” “I feel like that’s the problem with basketball development now,” Niang said. “They label people a big man or a point guard. I really want kids to try things and be different and work on your dribbling and work on your shooting.” There is a $75 fee for people who want to watch the camp. Lunch will be provided. The fee is to prevent a “circus” in the fieldhouse for people who want to see Niang and not have a hand in the camp, Fennelly said. “For $75, people are more than welcome to come by,” Fennelly said. “My brother, [former ISU wide receiver] Brett Medders, is going to be the muscle at the door. We need to respect Georges’ time and space and not having people lined up in front of the fieldhouse waiting to get in.” There will also be Niang Notebooks with 31 of Niang’s favorite quotes and 31 of his favorite drills that will be sold for $75. It can be mailed to non-attendees for $100. Although the camp is $200, Niang said the goal is to keep out basketball players who are there just to see him. “We’re doing that in a way that it’s really worth your time, and I’m going to be there the whole time and it’s going to be really hands on,” Niang said. “I think the biggest thing is we just want to weed out people who are going to be distractions or really aren’t there for the right reasons.” Overall, the excitement for the camp has been positive. Niang said he received some feedback from people who wanted a larger age range so they could participate. “I’m really excited to be running it with someone who is just as excited about it as I am,” Niang said. “It’s just awesome. I’m really excited to do that.” Registration details and more information can be found at georgescamp.com.

Musical trio to perform By Jacob.Beals @iowastatedaily.com Willy Porter and Carmen Nickerson will perform with Andy Goessling at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Bluestem stage. Tickets cost $20 and are available at the door and via Eventbrite. Currently playing shows together, Porter and Nickerson are both known for their solo work as singersongwriters. Porter said their collaborations started about five years ago after a member from his band recommended that he look into singing with her. Porter said they have had onstage chemistry together ever since. “It just clicked instantly for us, so it’s been really fun, musically,” Porter said. Porter believes their collaboration during performances on stage and when they write songs together is mutually beneficial. “We really push each Courtesy of Matthew Bushey other, and I think that’s really been the best part Singer-songwriters Carmen Nickerson, left, and Willy Porter will of it,” Porter said. “I come perform with Andy Goessling, not pictured, at 8 p.m. Saturday at the from this improvisational Bluestem Stage. background, musically, hopes the night will bring Goessling said. “I’m really and she has that.

many instruments and said he knows how to play about 30 instruments. These range from stringed instruments such as the banjo and mandolin all the way to woodwinds such as the saxophone and flute. He hopes to showcase some of the instruments he’s been playing for most of his life during the upcoming concert, including a German-stringed instrument called the zither. “One of the first instruments I played, because my Mom had one in the attic, is the zither, and the other one I started in school was the clarinet,” Goessling said. Goessling will also play with Porter and Nickerson. This will be their second collaboration together, with the first taking place last year at Bluestem, Goessling said. Goessling explained that Porter and Nickerson’s music fit well with his style, and he thinks the three will collaborate just as well during this year’s show. “[Porter’s] originals worked really well with my style,” Goessling said. “Whatever he pulls out I’m sure it’s [going to] be good in context for the both of us.” Like Porter, Goessling also has high hopes for this show. He wants to give the audience something special by showing them new types of music they may not have heard before. “I guess really it’s the opportunity to expose them to some new stuff.” Goessling said. “I’m just hoping they get a chance to listen to some of the influences I have and that it gives them a chance to listen to some new music when they go home.” Visit the Bluestem site to find out more about the show.

GENDER p3 The university also hosts various events to support women interested in engineering. WiSE, Women in Science and Engineering, is a university program for the women in science and engineering. WiSE began in 1986, and there were 1,819 females enrolled in the STEM fields at Iowa State. Since then, the number has grown to 5,636 females, but the percentages have not changed much, said Lora-Leigh Chrystal, director of WiSE. Chrystal said the Taking the Road Less Traveled Career Conference is one of the major programs the organization organizes, allowing participants to interact with professionals and get excited about the STEM fields. “We actually have presenters now that came in middle school,” Chrystal said. “They came to Iowa State and now they’re coming back and encouraging more females.” The group also has other K-12 outreach programs, such as a partnership with Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa. The Girl Scouts programs hosts 80 to 100 girls for a half-day program, allowing

them to work on their math, science and technology skills and talk with female undergraduate students. Chrystal said Iowa State has undergraduate Student Role Models who go to various schools across the state and provide hands-on STEM activities to more than 7,500 girls and boys each year. “I think it’s good that they promote those environments,” Bis said. “It helps being in a living community with people who might be facing the same issue.” Wong mentioned that the school also needs to focus on its current students to keep them interested in the field. A learning community solely for software engineering will begin next semester. “It will help them solve problems,” Wong said. “In terms of retention, providing support in learning communities will be beneficial.” Chrystal added that WiSE spends a lot of time focusing on leadership. However, Gerads believes some people still do not respect the women who are currently studying the major. “I don’t think the guys coming in have a lot of respect for us,” Gerads said. “Some girls in the field

switch out because they can’t handle it, so that also doesn’t look good for us.” Gerads described an internship she had last summer at Microsoft, where she was put in a group with one other female student and one male student. “My manager, [he] always favored the male,” Gerads said. “I had to work hard and prove that I could do it, too.” Bis said he thinks the numbers will continue to rise for women in all types of engineering. “At the end of the day, we’re all human, and we all have the same capabilities,” Bis said. Compared to software engineering and apparel merchandising, other majors don’t stand out because the gender ratio is fairly even. The College of Business is known to be better represented when it comes to both genders. In the accounting major, 45 percent of the students are women and 55 percent are men. The management major is even closer with 49 percent being women and 51 percent being men. Riannan Kadrlik, freshman in pre-business, said the gender ratio in most of her larger lectures are fairly

even. The majority of her professors are men. “I would say that business is accepting of both genders,” Kadrlik said. “You usually associate people higher up in business to be men. But now we’re seeing more and more women in those positions.” Kadrlik is part of Collegiate Women in Business, which prepares women for life after college in the business world. “We learn many qualities through this and we make many connections with other women in our same field,” Kadrlik said. The club also hosts a conference for high school girls to explain what the business field is and to encourage them to consider pursuing the major. Iowa State has a University Committee on Diversity with a representative from every department. The committee views diversity in all forms, including gender, when assessing the university. “With society’s discussion of inclusiveness in terms of every type of diversity, not just gender, I think it makes it a little easier to cross this gender line in the major choice,” Karpova said.

Emily Barske shakes hands with Iowa State Daily Publication Board President Colton Kennelly while Austin Anderson stands by. Barske and Anderson were the two candidates for 2016-2017 editor-in-chief.

DAILY p1 we just didn’t do a good enough job,” Cunningham said about listening to and implementing feedback from the faculty, staff, students and Ames community members. “We lost touch with our consumers. We’ve made big strides to become relevant again. There’s always more we can be doing to get people the information they want, when they want and the way they want it.” Cunningham said Barske, with her previous experience, will “lead the charge for our students

to engage with their colleagues,” and The Daily will help to allocate resources to highlight underserved parts of the community. Alex Connor, news reporter, was named as The Daily’s summer editorin-chief; she was the only individual applying for the position, but current editor-in-chief Danielle Ferguson still dashed from the conference room to give her successor a hug. Barske said she would love to hear from anyone with questions, suggestions or comments on how the Iowa State Daily operates in the coming year.
