A LT E R E D A S P E C T S Student organizes plus-sized runway

Improving on 35 years of fashion

Each year, Iowa State University has a student-run textile and clothing fashion show showcasing the hard work and unique collections from the students involved. The process of organizing the event lasts a year, from design, model casting, garment turnins, Judging Day and the final show. But the show organizers don’t know what apparel will be submitted until a month before the event and a day before model fitting. Joris (Jojo) Montijo, senior in apparel, merchandising and design, found a conflict with the current timeline for the Iowa State annual fashion show. “I talked to [the fashion show executives] before fit night, and that’s when they told me that they had a variety of plus sizes, so I kept my mind open,” Montijo said. “I wasn’t like, ‘No, if it’s not my model, I don’t want to do it.’ They told me that they have seven plus-size models. And then I talked [to them] again after fit night and I saw all the plus-size

“I remember going up to the DJ stand and watching the show from the back of C.Y. Stephens with the DJ and remember being in complete awe — it’s all coming back right now.” That is what Tyler Clarey, 2008 Iowa State alumnus, remembers during his first year involved with The Fashion Show as the youngest director to date. “Watching all of that live was super thrilling — it was the first time I’d ever experienced something like that at that scale.” This year is the 35th production of The Fashion Show. Thirty-five years of dedication, teamwork and an entirely student-run show that has captivated hundreds of thousands throughout the nation. The Fashion Show’s 35th production will take place at 7 p.m. Saturday in Stephens Auditorium. Over the decades, The Fashion Show has branded itself as an industry-standard show. For Clarey, his biggest project for The Fashion Show was making it bigger and better than ever. “It was an opportunity to push

Annual StuGov inauguration held Next president, vice president sworn into office Staudt, West condemn incident at Vespers event By ISD Staff

Newly sworn in Vice President Cody Smith stands at the front of the room. In front of hundreds of Iowa State leaders he holds his hands at his side, raising one as he prepares to take his inaugural oath. He looks across the room and at Chief Justice Kevin Boeckholt, who is swearing him in. “Let’s do this,” he says. Smith is no stranger to Student Government, previously serving as a senator and public relations chair this past academic year. He and Cody West, who was sworn in as president Thursday evening at the President’s Dinner, looked to the future during their inaugural address and have high hopes for their administration. One of the biggest pushes by West and outgoing President Cole Staudt was student safety, which West and Smith plan to continue this upcoming year, along with reinstating Iowa State traditions and reinventing residency in Ames. In his inaugural address during Thursday evening’s President’s Dinner, West touched on the canceling of Veishea, a subject still a raw nerve to many in the Iowa State

Cody West plans to continue to push for student safety as the new president of Iowa State’s Student Government.

community. “As I am sure all of you in this room are aware, we used to have a celebration called Veishea,” West said. “Sadly, this event was cancelled due to riotous behavior by Iowa State students on a Tuesday night in April, and although many of us may be frustrated with the cancellation of Veishea, it is important to note that the negative culture surrounding the event needed to be put to a stop.” West and Smith also hope to in-

crease awareness in regard to campus events by creating a holistic university calendar. The President’s Dinner is an annual event that is intended, according to Staudt, as “a time for us to look back at the last year and kind of turn and pivot to the future.” “It’s to bring our student organization leaders, students, administrators and faculty together to show what Student Government can do, has done and will do,” Staudt said. Jacob Zirkelbach, chief of staff for West and Smith, backed Staudt’s sentiment. “It’s always good to get everyone back together, bring everyone together and talk about the vision,” he said. The dinner cost roughly $6,667, and student and administrative leaders from across campus were welcome to attend. The money that was spent for the event went toward food for about 200 people and the room reservation in the Scheman Building. Each Student Government-funded student organization was notified of the dinner first, with the distribution of two reservations per student organization, according to Staudt. There was also a Google Form sent out by Staudt on Twitter following these emails.

By Nik.Heftman @iowastatedaily.com During their farewell and inaugural speeches, former president of the Iowa State student body Cole Staudt and current president Cody West briefly addressed the events that occurred during the Vespers greek awards Sunday night. “Occurrences such as those at the Vespers ceremony this past weekend serve as a reminder that we still have a tremendous amount of work to do when it comes to issues of diversity and inclusivity on our campus,” West said. According to statements released by Rachel Ramirez, president of the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), and Billy Boulden, assistant dean of students and director of Greek Affairs, members of the audience at Vespers booed, mocked and made racial slurs toward individuals representing

organizations within MGC and the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) as they accepted their awards at the event. In his speech, Staudt explained that greek chapters within the MGC and NPHC bear unique “calls,” or chants, that members participate in as part of their organization’s tradition. “I had personally never heard one of these calls before, but once I did, I knew that it must be important to them,” Staudt said. “However, some individuals booed and jeered at these calls and the students participating in them. Those actions are completely unacceptable.” West backed Staudt’s sentiment. West said he would work closely with the Student Government Diversity Committee to identify ways that he can “build connections at Iowa State” and bring issues pertaining to diversity “into the light.”

7 NROTC members post explicit photos, face corrective actions By Michael.Heckle @iowastatedaily.com Seven members of Iowa State’s Navy ROTC program will face corrective actions after posting explicit photos on a Facebook page, The Associated Press reported. The AP reported that the explicit photos, which were posted March 4, according to Lt. Sean Brophy, a spokesman for the Naval Service Training Command, featured some of the cadets in

various locations on the Iowa State campus. The explicit nature of the photos was not reported. The photos were posted on the Facebook page for a student group with ties to the NROTC called the Glorious Order of the Sextant, according to The AP. The page states that the group is “dedicated to the preservation of those nautical, professional, and social traditions of the Iowa State Naval ROTC that are worth preserving.” Brophy told The AP that NROTC leaders were informed of the ca-

dets’ actions the next day, and that they took immediate action to ensure the photos were taken down from Facebook. He also told The AP that “appropriate administrative actions” had been taken against the cadets, however, due to federal privacy laws, he could not comment on the specific disciplinary action. The midshipmen will remain part of the NROTC program. The report comes just a month after the Defense Department began investigating reports of Marines sharing naked photos

of female Marines and veterans on the Facebook page, “Marines United,” CNN reported. “We take this issue very seriously and categorically do not condone this behavior — it has no place in our military or society, and it does not comport with our core values,” Brophy told The AP. Capt. Scott Curtis, commanding officer of the NROTC program who has trained all 68 members of his battalion on proper social media behavior, notified the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and

Sciences and the university provost about the incident, according to The AP. Brophy told The AP that the photos were not taken as a part of any NROTC event and that the cadets were not in uniform in the photos. However, the Glorious Order of the Sextant held its initiation ceremony for new members the night prior to the incident, according to The AP. Michael Tallon, president of the Glorious Order of the Sextant, could not be reached for comment.

DubH ignites passion in dance Gillian Holte/Iowa State Daily

DubH, Iowa State’s hip-hop club, rehearses for its upcoming spring show. The club will take the stage for its last performance of the semester at 7 p.m. Friday at the Ames City Auditorium.

By Whitney.Mason @iowastatedaily.com For more than 15 years, DubH has given its audience mind-blowing, crowd-pleasing performances, a tradition it plans to continue for years to come. DubH is Iowa State’s hip-hop dance club, founded in 2001. The club is currently celebrating its 16year anniversary. The student organization is the largest one on campus, with about 500 members including students, Iowa State alumni and Ames community members. The club doesn’t have any membership qualifications. Individuals just need to have an interest in dancing and the commitment to join one of the many different dance routines performed by the club. DubH Members credit the club with

helping them discover their confidence and develop leadership skills that will be valuable to them after they graduate from Iowa State. “It’s taught me life skills and opened up to greater connections with my peers,” Jenna Lambertz, technology director and senior in landscape architecture, said. The club has become a place where students are able to express their passion and surround themselves with like-minded individuals. “DubH gave me the family that I needed at Iowa State, and I don’t know how I could have done college without everyone,” Kayla Wallace, vice president and choreographer, said. Azariah Franklin, freshman in kinesiology, believes that the the hip-hop club isn’t just about hip-hop dancing but partaking in something that brings enjoyment to an individual and doing it with others who share the same feelings.

Many members of the club have found the close bonds they were in search of when they arrived at college. The hip-hop club has given students the opportunity in the past to perform at Veishea; local schools such as Gilbert Middle School, Ames Middle School and Clear Lake High School; and pre-game shows for the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. For Malaysia Clayton, DubH choreographer, the club has helped with her transition to college and gives her something to look forward to every semester. The dance organization coordinates dance shows for local attendees near the end of the semester. While it usually performs three shows, this semester will only feature one. The club will take the stage for its endof-semester performance at 7 p.m. Friday at the Ames City Auditorium. Tickets for the event will cost $8.

P&S Council addresses new course, controversial assignment

Fashion designers create flexible suits for 21st century working men

By Katlyn.Campbell @iowastatedaily.com

Controversies involving student education were brought to light during Thursday’s Professional and Scientific Council meeting. Senior Vice President and Provost Jonathan Wickert addressed the council in order to clear misconceptions of the recent controversy involving an on-campus writing assignment. Wickert expressed support for international studies professor James Strohman, who asked students last month to write about 9/11 from the perspective of alQaeda terrorists. “When you take a class in international studies the goal is to understand other cultures,” Wickert said. “For years, he’s been doing an assignment where he takes a historical event from an American perspective and then has his students write a narrative from the opposite culture’s perspective.” Wickert stressed that a connected world and the rampant misuse of fake news led to a false narrative that painted the professor as a terrorist supporter. Wickert supported Strohman and his

assignment fully throughout the entire process, saying learning about other cultures is “a part of being educated and growing up.” Looking to the future, Wickert hopes that students will continue to look at the world through a new lens. “We see news all the time that says ‘Why do they hate us?’” Wickert said. ”I’d like to think the purpose of this class is to understand where people are coming from, and I think the world would be a better place if we had more understanding.” The Faculty Senate also addressed the ongoing presidential search to replace Steven Leath during its meeting. Faculty Senate President Jonathan Sturm ensured that faculty will play a large role in deciding the position. Saying that input is “expected and not hoped for,” Sturm sees faculty input beginning once the initial search results surface near the end of the month. Clayton Johnson, Professional and Scientific Council president, also prioritized the input of professional staff in choosing the next Iowa State president during his council report. The next Professional and Scientific Council meeting will take place on Thursday, May 4 at 2:10 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Clad in their self-designed black jackets, it was evident that Abdul Abasi and Greg Rosborough know a thing or two about fashion design. Abasi and Rosborough met when studying at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and have since created their own menswear line that combines military and athletic silhouettes under the label, Abasi Rosborough. Their clothes are designed to emphasize range of motion and versatility. After releasing their first collection in 2013, the duo has since been recognized by The New York Times, Vogue, GQ Style and many more. Abasi and Rosborough presented to a group of about 40 students in Curtiss Hall Thursday evening.

Greg Rosborough (left) and Abdul Abasi (right) interact with students after giving a lecture on the business of menswear on Thursday.

The two will also be guest designers for the Iowa State Fashion Show and display their collection on Friday. Born in Iowa, Rosborough had no intention of pursuing design when he was younger despite his creativity. While on a basketball trip to New York as a teenager, Rosborough left his team and ventured to Barneys. Abasi grew up in Washington, D.C., and Maryland. The diversity he witnessed among the two states inspired him to design interesting and versatile pieces. At the age of 17, Abasi went to Fort Knox, Kentucky, with the intention of joining the Army. As an apache attack helicopter missile systems technician, Abasi was stationed in Europe. While abroad he noticed fashion being used as an art form in a way that he hadn’t previously seen. Abasi’s commander encouraged him to take on fashion design, saying, “That’s fine but make sure I get the first Abasi suit.” After meeting at school, Abasi and Rosborough bonded over “making things that have a reason for being,” Abasi said. “Fashion is all about storytelling,” Rosborough said. Abasi and Rosborough wanted to challenge the “gold standard of menswear” to create a menswear suit that would evolve for

the 21st century audience. Intrigued by upgrading the typical business jacket that they saw while taking public transport in New York, Rosborough and Abasi wanted to make the suits more flexible for the working man. With the intention to reinterpret the restrictive shapes of traditional menswear, Abasi Rosborough was born. Their most recent collection, which they’ll be showing at The Fashion Show on Friday, was inspired by an image they saw of a young woman standing in a street being charged by policemen during a protest. Courtney Johnson and Ashney Williams, graduates in apparel, events and hospitality management, both plan on attending The Fashion Show and are exciting to see Abasi Rosborough clothing. Johnson’s biggest takeaway from the lecture was hearing the design duo mention adding all previous expertise into a résumé regardless of its relation to fashion and being persistent when reaching out for job opportunities. “Both of us are from the South, so we’re trying to be polite and proper all the time,” Johnson said. “I thought it would be annoying to nag companies. But them being industry people saying that it’s OK to be persistent made me feel better.”

PLUS p1 models, and the biggest girl was a size 14.” Montijo said she went into the Fashion Show with a positive attitude, but she ultimately decided it was best for her to host her own show. She envisioned something different than what the fashion show was offering. “In the fashion industry, plus size starts at 8 and finishes at like size 14 or 16, so we’re creating a line that will start at size 14 and [end at] 24,” Montijo said. “We’re creating this event to promote body positivity and embracing curves.” Montijo decided to have her own personal show the day before the Iowa State Fashion Show. Her collection, titled “Curves With Confidence,” will feature a wide range of designs focused on plussize fashion. In order to find models for her show, Montijo began with a girl she knew who fit the image of what she wanted for her collection. “I explained to them what we were doing and then I asked them about comfortability levels,” Montijo said. “I want them to be confident with what they’re wearing.” Models cannot be hand picked by the designers for the Fashion Show because they must all go through the casting process, which was established many years ago. “My sense is there’s probably been a lack of communication between different groups, and I think that’s normal,,” said Robert Bosselman, chair of the department of apparel, events and hospitality management. “It’s always important to remember the Fashion Show is a student-run operation and, in many ways, this is a learning opportunity for all the students involved, but by no means is there a heavy hand here at all.” Montijo said she has been upfront and respectful through this process, as have the executives of the show. “There’s no impact on the show itself,” Bosselman said. “Jojo is part of the show, and I think that’s terrific and it’s something that she feels very strongly about. And therefore we’re happy that she’s going about and doing [her own show], and she’s doing it in the right way. She went around campus, she got all the right approvals,

etc., so to me, that shows the professionalism of the student.” In regard to policies for students hosting their own shows, the main concern of the department is making sure students don’t do something and take the name of the fashion show itself, thus implying that what they’re doing is part of the actual show, when it’s not. “It’s not that we’re going to say you can’t do this, you can’t do that,” Bosselman said. “Many of our students go and compete around this country, which is really tremendous, whether it’s Chicago, New York, Kansas City, Omaha ... we just want them to let us know up front what it is they’re doing and that way we can help.” Montijo began designing at Iowa State in the fall of 2014. This will be the first year she is showing a collection to the public. Montijo was a signed model in Puerto Rico and came to the United States with the goal to focus more on school. But during the past year, she has modeled in Detroit for Lane Bryant, and in last year’s fashion show at Iowa State. “I created [my own show] because the Iowa State fashion show needs a little bit more variety when it comes to plussize models, and it was really hard for not just me, but other designers that wanted to do plus size,” Montijo said. “To put it in [the fashion show] was kind of hard because you envision your creation to be a type of body, but then the models they have here are thinner so you have to fix all your stuff, and at the end, it’s not your vision.” The target of Montijo’s show is awareness. She wants people to see that every body type is different, and there is beauty in that difference. “Some people hate the word fat because people think it’s a synonym of ugly, and it’s not like that,” Montijo said. “Like someone is tall, they are tall, someone is fat, they are fat, it doesn’t mean ugly or lazy. So I’m just trying to bring positivity to it.” Bosselman, who is familiar with Montijo, spoke directly with Montijo about hosting her own show. He discussed the

creativity and skills of the students involved in the show during the 10 years he’s held the department chair position. “What I have observed is the students pushing the boundaries of fashion,

35 YEARS p1 what The Fashion Show was,” Clarey said. “It really was a passion project for all of us — how do we keep pushing The Fashion Show to the next level?”

“WE HAVE ALSO RECRUITED MORE MALE AND PLUS SIZE MODELS THAN WE HAVE IN THE PAST” — HANNAH NATION, STUDENT PRODUCER

which makes us proud as faculty, because what it’s showing is that we have students with very strong skill sets and they have a lot of vision,” Bosselman said. “That’s what this show really is about, it’s about the students and it’s about students being able to achieve to the best of their abilities.” “Curves With Confidence” will begin at 11:50 a.m. Friday at the Memorial Union on the middle terrace.

Change for the better is a part of The Fashion Show’s mission, from technology to advancing promotions — and diversity is no different. “We have also recruited more male and plus-size models than we have in the past,” Hannah Nation, current producer, said. During his time, Adam Greenfield, 2016 alumnus, set out to expand diversity in students’ area of study. “I didn’t even know if they would want me in it as an industrial designer because

everyone was more within the AMD (apparel, merchandising and design) college,” Greenfield said. “[My codirector and I] were really pushing to try and get a lot more people from outside of the AMD college.” After Greenfield, The Fashion Show stuck with his initiative. “From what it sounds like, they have really pushed through with that and have reached out to a lot of other colleges to try to have people involved,” Greenfield said. “I’d like to say we had a little mark on that.” Not only is there a push for diversity within The Fashion Show, but the AMD college as a whole. According to the Fall 2016 Enrollment Statistics, only 37 men are enrolled out of a total 500 AMD students — 7.4 percent of the entire program. “It never really struck me because we did have a decent amount of men in my years as well, so I guess I never really thought about it in the sense of ‘I am a man and there are so many women,’” Clarey said. The fashion industry is stereotyped as a femaledominated industry. Henry Wang, who works for apparel company Vince, said that may not be the case. “I think [accepting men as a part of fashion] will take a little bit of time to progress, but honestly, in our fashion world, it is still male-dominated,” Wang said. And he’s not wrong. Out of 92 shows on the Paris Fashion Week womenswear schedule, fewer than 30 have

female creative directors at the helm, according to Refinery29.com. Men seem to run the fashion business, but Wang said that women are the foundation of the industry, which he said may lead to the stereotype of the industry being so female dominated. “My SVP [senior vice president] is a female — she runs the entire men’s division, but my senior creative director is a guy — he gives the vision,” Wang said. “My entire men’s division team are all female. I am the only male under my senior creative director. It’s still owned and dominated by men, but our female team is like a well-oiled machine. You need women, you need those people below the men to run everything.” Ethan Lindley, current marketing director for The Fashion Show, said the show has helped him grow his passion for fashion, go outside of gender norms and stay true to who he is. “I love being a little different from the crowd,” Lindley said. “You may find someone who is very quiet when talking, but they put on that one outfit that makes them feel invincible. Fashion is their own armor and brings them out of their shell. [Fashion] is my armor — I don’t feel out of place.” To defy the stereotypes, it only takes a different perspective to embrace going outside of gender norms. Change always makes progress, but the overall buzz of The Fashion Show continues to thrive. “We are very excited and honored to be the producers for the 35th show,” Nation said. “It’s a tradition that we hope to see continue for many more years to come.”

President Donald Trump declared April to be Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, which columnist Spanbauer finds somewhat confusing coming from a man who once joked about grabbing at women’s geniitalia without consent.

Awareness and prevention College is perfect time to educate about sexual assault By Peyton.Spanbauer @iowastatedaily.com

or the first time maybe ever, Donald Trump did something productive in the eyes of the women’s movement. The President declared April to be Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, as have all other presidents since 2001. I had to first check some credible sources to make sure this wasn’t some sick April Fool’s joke. This is somewhat confusing coming from the man who literally bragged about grabbing at women’s genitalia without consent. Nonetheless, it’s a move in the right direction from our Republican president. Many issues in today’s society have increased the concern of sexual assault. The short incarceration of Brock Turner raised awareness across the country that perpetrators of rape can be, and are often, let off easy when their notoriety is unjustly taken into account. The gang rape of a young Chicago women being live streamed on Facebook created notice in how we view and react to sexual assaults. Chris Brown, a man who despite his successful music career assaulted a woman, is still producing music and profiting off of it, has taught us that assailants can continue on with their lives as normal while victims cannot. Because our own president has been accused of and investigated

for more than a dozen allegations of rape, we have increased the necessity for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. As students living on a college campus, raising awareness against sexual assault is so incredibly critical. We all get the occasional “timely notice of campus crime” warning us of yet another incident of sexual assault on campus. It is important to also remember that those are only the incidents taking place on campus, and the incidents reported. Issues surrounding rape are extremely controversial when it comes to how some universities deal with and inform others of sexual assault. According to 2016 statistics, only 9 percent of 11,000 universities reported incidents of sexual assault on campus. However hopeful 9 percent is, the reality is that is a seemingly impossible statistic. Realistically, 1 in 6 women will face attempted or actual sexual assault in their lifetimes. Traditionally, campuses across the nation host events in order for students to take notice of what sexual assault really means to victims, and how often it actually occurs. Iowa State is doing its part in promoting consciousness of sexual assault with several events happening throughout the month. From the Clothesline Project to Denim Day to the Take Back the Night Rally and March on April 24, it makes me immensely proud to be a part of a campus that cares. These events are trying to bring to light misconceptions and the truth about rape. For one, it is important to recognize that sexual assault is not limited to women alone. One in 16 men will experience attempted or actual sexual assault.

Furthermore, people don’t quite realize the cost that comes to victims of rape. Victims are vulnerable to depression, PTSD, anxiety and insomnia. This is not to mention the issues it creates in the relationships in their lives. Survivors can have troubles trusting others and feeling safe when alone. Yet another myth about rape is that it is committed by a stranger lurking in the dark, waiting to attack. The reality is that sexual assault is most commonly perpetrated by those close to the victim. Additionally, the idea that women put themselves at risk by going out and wearing tight or little clothing is completely incorrect. The only reason rape occurs is because of the rapist alone. It is unjust and sexist to assume that the victim is or was “asking for it.” A reality of sexual assault, however, is that it does more commonly occur when alcohol and/or drugs are involved. It is incredibly important and unfortunate that people have to be conscientious of those around them when they or those around them are under the influence. The bigger lesson at hand is that those who are under the influence need to be aware of their actions and how they may be coming off to others. People need to be aware of the boundaries of the relationships they hold. People need to take notice that the victim is not at fault for what happens to them. Please partake in this month’s activities on campus and promote the awareness and prevention of sexual assault. This is a matter that we can and need to end, and is achievable if we all educate ourselves and take action against sexual assault and violence.

Gender wage discrimination is slap in face By Angelica.Lawson @iowastatedaily.com Equal pay for equal work. That one sentence makes a great deal of sense if person A and person B have the same qualifications, same work experience and do the same job. It only makes sense that they are paid the same. This does not take into consideration merit pay. Strictly focusing on experience, qualifications and job, people who are equally matched should be paid the same amount for doing the same job. Unfortunately, this is not the case for many women. The pay gap for women in the United States ranges from 90 percent to 78 percent depending on the ethnicity of the women compared to men in the Unites States, according to a 2013 survey. Monday was national Equal Pay Day, which symbolizes how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year. Due to its nature, the date changes year to year. This year, some retailers took the popular 20 percent difference in pay for men and women, and used that number to show their support for women to be paid equally. The #20percentcounts has been trending on social media; businesses and consumers have been using the hashtag in their posts about equal pay day — bringing awareness to the injustice that has been accepted

for far too long. Lean In has partnered with businesses to start a promotional campaign where it offers 20 percent discounts on merchandise. The sale is designed to let people know that 20 percent does matter, and that equal pay should no longer be an issue. USA Today reported that an estimated 300 retailers are going to participate in the 20 percent counts campaign this year. There are more women who live in poverty than men, and if women were compensated fairly, this number could drastically be cut. The fact that compensation levels vary for women of a different ethnicity compared to men is a huge slap in the face. More women lead households, more women make the majority of consumer purchases, and yet they are subject to gender based pricing, taxes on menstruation products and other ridiculous sources of inequality. Women in this country are constantly being told that they they are “less than.” Women earn less than men, women have to pay more for everyday items, women’s health care services are being defunded, maternity leave is under attack and women’s reproductive rights are infringed upon by legislators who have zero business telling a woman what to do with her body. We need to ask ourselves why we are so accustomed to undervaluing women, and why in 2017 we allow these behaviors to continue. Women are an in-

Stick around for campus events this weekend After a long week of school, students should reward themselves with a weekend full of fun and joy. Iowa State will offer one of its most unique weekends Saturday and Sunday, with a lot of events on campus. Students need to go no further than our gorgeous campus to have a good time. Cyclone Market and International Food Fair will allow you to taste the world and learn about different groups on campus. Student Government will host its annual Cyclone Market on Saturday. It is relatively new event, started only a few years ago, but it is full of fun activities. About 40 clubs and student organizations will present their work, including activism clubs that will talk about issues they advocate for and other clubs that will present their products. Multicultural and international student organizations will also be present to showcase their culture. There will be wide variety of foods from all around the world, from Japanese and American to Middle Eastern and much more. The event, which will take place in the parking lot in front of Jack Trice stadium, will start at 10 a.m. and expects to continue until 2 p.m. Cyclone Market is free for everyone to attend, but some of the clubs charge for food and other items. It is not only a great opportunity for students to learn about and meet different clubs and organizations but also for the organizations to promote themselves and fundraise. It’s the events like these that make Iowa State University a truly global institution, and a truly global community. You can yourself become a part of this community by attending and supporting events like these. The fun will continue Sunday when the International Student Council hosts its annual International Food Fair. The event is one of the most popular on campus, with hundreds of people attending every year. Fourteen international student organizations will participate in the fair, which will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. Iowa State students will cook and serve a wide spectrum of dishes, desserts and drinks at the event, which will be open to the public. This weekend is the best time to explore the campus organizations by attending the Cyclone Market and the International Food Fair. A fun and unique experience is guaranteed at both events. And guess what: They don’t start super early. If you are a morning person, or if you have other plans the night before, 11 a.m. is a good time for an event to start. So stick around this weekend and enjoy the events going on at our beautiful campus. However the weather turns out, be aware of these exciting opportunities to learn and to simply have a good time.

Columnist Lawson argues that the first step to ensure women are paid as equally as men is for businesses to enforce the Equal Pay Act, which is already in place.

tegral part of society and should be treated as such. It may seem like a small thing, but starting with equal pay among the sexes is a great first step to getting us on equal ground. The companies that have taken strong stances on equal pay believe that their employees who are equally matched should receive equal compensation or compensation that is equal to their qualifications. The bottom line is that there

should not have to be an equal pay day. Women and men are equals and should be treated as such in our society. The first step to making this a guarantee is to enforce the Equal Pay Act, which is already in place. There are too many employers who are not being punished for not following this law, and that is the first step to making pay inequality a thing of the past. We have to get this problem solved for our future generations of women.

IOWA STATE WILL BRIEFLY DEBUT NEW OFFENSE GAME INFO What: Spring game When: 1 p.m. Saturday Where: Jack Trice Stadium

Ryan Young/Iowa State Daily

Iowa State quarterback Jacob Park throws the ball on Sept. 10, 2016, at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. Iowa State fans will get a look at Park and a re-energized offense at Iowa State’s spring game Saturday.

By Austin.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State will get to take its big, new and fast offense out for a test drive on Saturday afternoon. The highly anticipated debut of the offense, which could be one of the best in years, will see a wide array of bells and whistles for starting quarterback Jacob Park to use in the 2017 season. This will be Park’s first spring game at Iowa State, but the Cyclones know what they have in the 6-foot-4 signal caller, so don’t expect Park to be kept out there long. In the first few series, however, Park will have some big — literally — options to throw to. Allen Lazard, the former Big 12 first team wide receiver and

future NFL draft pick, won’t sneak up on anybody. The two new additions to the offense will be fresh faces however. Matt Eaton, one of the top junior college wide receiver recruits in the country, stands at 6 foot 4 and has turned some heads this spring. “He’s got some dynamic ability to him that when he moves on the field, you take notice,” wide receivers coach Bryan Gasser said. “He has a really good attack off the line and a really good attack in his routes. I think he’s going to be a guy that’s going to fun to watch these next couple years.” The other big target that Iowa State fans will get used to hearing is redshirt freshman Chase Allen. Allen, a 6-foot-6 tight end, has been used inline as a traditional tight end,

in the slot, as well as split out wide as a wide receiver this spring. “I ain’t never had had receivers like this to throw to,” Park said. “There’s a point in time where we got four wide receivers you can put on the field, and I don’t know if there’s any defensive back in the country that can jump with any of them.” The size from Lazard, Eaton and Allen will be joined by 6-foot-6 Hakeem Butler as well as speedier receivers Deshaunte Jones and Trevor Ryen. Ryen is a sprinter on the track team, Jones was the team’s big play threat last season as a true freshman. “He led the team in explosive plays for us,” Gasser said. “He was one of the most explosive freshmen in the country last year. With that being said, the

high-powered Iowa State offense is only likely to be on the field in limited action. The spring game is a place for young guys and players battling for playing time to stand out in a game setting. A couple of those spots rest up front on the Iowa State offensive line. Bryce Meeker is the only returner to start a game last season on the offensive line outside of Julian GoodJones. In a scrimmage earlier this spring, Meeker was a starter, but with the return of Jake Campos from a leg injury that kept him out last season, he might be pushed down on the depth chart. Still, coach Matt Campbell said Meeker has stood out so far. “[He’s] been a pleasant surprise for us,” Campbell said. The spring game, as al-

ways, will be a chance for fans to get excited about what the team has, and for the coaches to see players prove what they can do. “Figure out who are our guys we can really count

on going into the summer and those guys maybe we can’t count on yet, what do they need to do in the next three to four months to give themselves a chance to help us be successful next fall.”

Mike Zadick: From mountains to ISU assistant wrestling coach By Curran.McLaughlin @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State wrestling coach Kevin Dresser introduced his new coaching staff Wednesday in the Pete Taylor Media Room at Hilton Coliseum. But it was obvious that of the three new hires, the man sitting next to him was unlike Derek St. John and Brent Metcalf. Mike Zadick sports a massive beard that hangs past the collar of his new Cyclones polo shirt. “Is that really an elephant in the room?” Zadick said after being asked about his facial hair. Zadick has never really put much thought in the beard, which hides his entire neck from sight. He simply stopped shaving after his cousin’s wedding in September 2012 and hasn’t felt the need to shave since. “Everyone else has kind of made it to be a big deal,” Zadick said. Zadick’s beard isn’t why he is the new assistant coach at Iowa State after serving as assistant coach under Dresser at Virginia Tech since 2015. “I got a lot of confidence and a lot of faith in Mike Zadick,” Dresser said. “He’s the guy who’s going to get us all together. Mike does a great job of implementing his staff.” When Zadick joined Dresser’s staff in 2015 he took over the role of leading practices. He’ll take a similar role for Iowa State but will also share time leading practices with St. John and Metcalf. Being able to lead practices was a big factor in Zadick coming to Virginia Tech, his first coaching job since 2012. At the time, Zadick was living in a cabin in the mountains of Montana. Zadick had moved back to

Mike Zadick (second from left) is introduced at Tuesday’s press conference.

Montana in 2012 after finishing his career as a competitor and his stint as an assistant coach for Iowa. Zadick left Iowa because of a dispute in philosophies, causing a fallout between him and Iowa coach Tom Brands. “I’ve been training for the Olympics and training wrestling my whole life, and then I’m training as a coach too,” Zadick said. “Then all of a sudden, both of them, done.” Zadick took a step back from collegiate wrestling for a few years. “When I went back [to Montana], I just kind of deflated and took in the change of life,” Zadick said. Not knowing what else to do, Zadick hunted, branded cattle, built items out of wood and spent time with his family. Within his first year back in Montana, Zadick was invited by Choteau High School wrestling coach Steve French to help out at practices. Zadick started to come to practices more frequently each season despite living 40 miles away from the school. Zadick was there when Chateau High School won its

first state championship in 25 years in 2015, giving him the urge to start coaching again. Not too long after, Dresser reached out to Zadick through Facebook. It took persistence and patience on Dresser’s part, but after seeing the program that he was building at Virginia Tech, Zadick agreed to join his staff. “He caught me at a really good moment. I was hungry at the time,” Zadick said. “I want to get back to the big leagues if I’m going to do this.” Zadick’s decision to leave Virginia Tech wasn’t easy. Zadick likes to build deep relationships with his wrestlers. He didn’t want to leave his wrestlers behind. But Zadick knew that following Dresser to Iowa State was a great opportunity. Zadick, a former Hawkeye wrestler, also knows how passionate and loyal fans are in Iowa, a big factor when hemade his decision. “The difference is here it’s a whole other world of wrestling,” Zadick said. “Wrestling is very important in the state of Iowa.”

COMMUNITY Local teenager honored by city

Friday, April 7, 201 7

By Austin.Harrington Staff writer, Ames Tribune

As a part of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, Story County Attorney Jessica Reynolds, along with the Ames Police Department and the Story County Board of Supervisors, took a moment this week to honor a local hero who risked her life to save her brother. Nyaroma Gatwas, an Ames teenager, was presented with the Award of Recognition for Crime Victims’ Rights Week because of her actions on the night of May 22, 2015, when she was able to stop a man who broke into her house and attempted to kidnap her brother from his bed. According to Reynolds, on that night, Akuk Akok, 18, entered the Gatwas home. “She laid quietly in bed. The person shined a flashlight on her and then left the room,” Reynolds said. A few moments later, Gatwas heard her then-5-year-old brother crying for help from his room.

Story County Supervisor Rick Sanders and Story County Attorney Jessica Reynolds give Nyaroma Gatwas the Award of Recognition for Crime Victim’s Rights Week Tuesday at the Story County Administration building in Nevada, Iowa.

“So at 13 years old, she got out of her bed, and she ran to see what was happening, and she looked just in time to see her brother’s legs from about the kneecaps down being pulled up a window well,” Reynolds said.

“So she ran upstairs and out the front door of the house, and she chased down the perpetrator who was beating and dragging her 5-year-old brother through the backyard.” Because of the actions of Gat-

was, Akok was not able to get away with her younger brother, who has since made a full recovery, Reynolds said. Akok was later arrested and convicted on first-degree burglary, child stealing and assault

while participating in a felony. For those crimes, he was sentenced to 27 years in prison. Reynolds said that conviction was largely because of Gatwas’s testimony. “She ensured that the defendant will never ever do this to anyone again,” Reynolds said. “Nyaroma at 13 years old is an inspiration to all of us. “She’s one of my personal heroes and she’s the reason why National Crime Victims’ Rights Week exists.” Although Gatwas did not speak during the ceremony, Ames Police Sgt. Elijah Hansen, who worked with her throughout the case, said that she was the “real star” of the work it took to convict Akok. Hansen also encouraged her to change her future goal of becoming a nurse to a career that she seems well suited for. “I didn’t want her to become a nurse, I think I’ve talked to her about becoming a cop,” Hansen said. “The suspect was a track star in high school, and she chased him down and won. So, she can chase bad guys.”

Street reconstruction

Reconstruction of Fourth Street to begin Monday, access limited By Ames Tribune Staff

A project to rebuild South Fourth Street from Squaw Creek east to South Grand Avenue is scheduled to begin Monday, the city announced in a news release. Vehicles will not be allowed into the area, and traffic will be detoured to Lincoln Way along South University Boulevard and South Grand Avenue. Traffic control in the area will be set up on Sunday, officials said. Access to properties on the south side of South Fourth Street, including Stadium View Apartments and other apartment buildings in the area, will be maintained throughout the project. Access will be from the east side of

the bridge only. “When scheduling this project, city of Ames staff worked to balance the project’s impacts on Ames and Iowa State University commuters, ISU fall semester move-in traffic, as well as on community and university special events traffic this summer and fall,” Civil Engineer Mark Gansen said in the release. The South Fourth Street project is part of the 2016-17 CyRide Route Pavement Improvements. The work will be completed in several stages that will include street reconstruction and street resurfacing. Additional improvements include upgrades to sanitary and storm sewer networks, and improvements to the adjacent trail and sidewalks. This is the first stage of the project, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of May. The second stage will involve the reconstruction of South Third/South Fourth Street from South Grand Avenue east to South Duff Avenue. Details on street closures, vehicle access and planned detours will be released at a later date.

The Friends of Roosevelt Park was awarded the “Lay Organization Award” in recognition of its efforts and contributions in helping with the renovation of Roosevelt Park, the city of Ames announced in a news release. The award was presented recently at the Iowa Parks and Recreation Association annual spring banquet in Waterloo. Friends of Roosevelt Park board member Stacey Ross attended the event and accepted the award.

The Iowa Parks and Recreation Association presents annual awards to individuals, private organizations and municipal employees who assist in making excellent contributions to parks and recreation departments throughout the state of Iowa. Since 2013, The Friends of Roosevelt Park have been involved with the establishment of a neighborhood park from land deeded to the city from the Ames school district. The Friends group raised more than $45,000 in cash and grants to transform greenspace into a neighborhood park

featuring a playground structure, a potluck table and a custom shelter/ stage used for the Roosevelt Summer Concert Series. In addition, the Friends group coordinates 10 or 11 concerts every Sunday starting in June and ending in the middle of August. “The Friends of Roosevelt Park is one of the many groups in Ames that support Ames Parks and Recreation, and that support helps improve the quality of life for the residents,” said Joshua Thompson, parks and facilities superintendent for the city.

Ames highly ranked for entrepreneurs By Grayson Schmidt Staff Writer, Ames Tribune In a recent ranking by the community research resource site Livability.com, Ames was ranked eighth out of the top 50 cities for entrepreneurs in 2017. And given the close relationship between Iowa State University and the companies at the ISU Research Park, Director Steven Carter said the ranking does not surprise him. “It is somewhat gratifying to see outsiders recognize the community and activities within the community that are worthy of attention,” Carter said. According to Livability, the 50 cities had to be able to support start-ups and have a community of similarly-driven people. The list looked for cities with high levels of SBA loans, creative class workers, broadband

technology and transportation infrastructure to support new businesses. In addition to that criteria, Livability also analyzed cities that had low levels of unemployment and economic inequality, diverse demographics and affordable housing, as well as areas with plenty to do at night with cultural and entertainment options. Eight of the top 10 happen to be cities with major universities, which Carter said is the biggest reason for Ames to be ranked so high. “The university is a huge asset,” Carter said. “The culture of Iowa State encourages entrepreneurial activity.” In addition to the university programs, Carter said having major companies such as Workiva, NewLink Genetics and Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica at the ISU Research Park provides students with internship opportunities and the skills necessary to succeed as an entrepreneur.
