Charlie Coffey/Iowa State Daily Dan Breitbarth and Megan Sweere are concluding their terms as Student Government president and vice president, respectively.

“Until every single person on campus feels like they have a voice in the conversation, then we really aren’t reaching our goal of diversity and inclusion because that includes everybody. It has to be every single person.” Megan Sweere

STUGOV VICE PRESIDENT

Controversial year opens eyes of StuGov leaders By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com

hen Dan Breitbarth and Megan Sweere started their reign as president and vice president of Iowa State Student Government in the spring of 2015, overcrowding, faculty transparency and incorporating Veishea traditions back into campus were at the top of their to-do list. That is, until dozens of students overtly expressed their disappointment with university administration the week after a Donald Trump-inspired protest led to a white woman ripping the poster of a Latino student protester, sending the campus community into a semester of tempest debate. It was a pivotal moment. “Discussions on diversity jumped to the top of my priority list, that’s for sure. It was at the forefront of my discussions and of my priorities,” Breitbarth said. “The week after it happened, Monday through Friday, I met with student groups until 10 or 11 at night to try to identify stuff. It was eye opening.” It was during this time and the weeks after that Breitbarth and his team worked with administration and leaders of multicultural student organizations to organize the open forum in September that further exposed minority students’ experiences of racism, bigotry

The Iowa Board of Regents will hire a web development firm based in Iowa State’s Research Park to design, develop and implement a new official website for the board. The board, the governing organization that dictates all five Iowa public universities, including Iowa State, will pay $20,186 to Global Reach Internet Productions. Global Reach, which has been located in Ames for more than 15 years, is a company that offers web design and development services to its clients. For the regents, Global Reach will design, develop and implement a new website that will comply with the organization’s needs and requirements, as well as be simple to navigate, according to the contract signed last week by the two parties. The work on the site will be completed by July 11. The total cost of $20,186 for a new official website will include $8,000 for design, development and training; $5,570 for content transfer and other expenses; and $1,200 for content review and recommendations, The Cedar Rapids Gazette reported. The Board of Regents will pay half of the cost midway through the project, and the final half after the regents’ acceptance.

Former ISU wrestler Kyven Gadson celebrates his pin against Ohio State’s Kyle Snyder in the 197-pound NCAA Championship at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Mo. on March 21, 2015.

Gadson’s golden dream NCAA wrestling champion comes face to face with Olympic goal By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com Kyven Gadson sat down in his living room with ISU wrestling coach and Olympic gold medalist Kevin Jackson after his junior year of high school. It was Gadson’s 17th birthday, and Jackson was trying to recruit him. Jackson laid out a six-year plan for Gadson. This is year six. “Year six ended with me becoming a gold medalist,” Gadson said. “That was the plan, and that was the goal.” On Sunday in Iowa City, Gadson will have the opportunity to get one step closer to that goal — wrestling in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. He’ll wrestle in the U.S. Olympic Wrestling Trials at 97 kilograms (213 pounds) at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Gadson was born in Iowa City, and he has family and childhood

friends there. It’s a special feeling for Gadson to have the Olympic Trials in his hometown. “It’s awesome,” Gadson said. “It feels right for me. I wrestled in that room growing up. For it to come all the way back around, with me having a chance to become an Olympian, it feels right. “It feels like it’s supposed to happen.” Gadson may have a little homemat advantage, but the field in his weight class is stacked from top to bottom. Gadson is the No. 7 seed. The field is so strong that 2012 Olympic gold medalist Jake Varner, a former ISU wrestler, isn’t even the top-ranked wrestler at the weight. He’s seeded at No. 2. The top-seeded wrestler at 97 kg is Kyle Snyder, the youngest world champion in freestyle wrestling history. Snyder won the World Championship in 2015 when he was 19 years old. Snyder wrestled at heavyweight for Ohio State in the 2015-16 season. He defeated Nick Gwiazdows-

ki in the National Championship to cap off his undefeated season. The last American to defeat Snyder was Gadson in the 2015 NCAA Championships. Gadson pinned Snyder in the second period of the match. In Iowa City, Snyder will automatically be in the finals because he is the 2015 world champion. Gadson will have to get through his bracket and then beat Snyder twice — best two out of three — to make it on the U.S. Olympic team. Gadson does have one thing going for him if he makes it to Snyder. Gadson is undefeated against him. “We’ve wrestled twice, and I’ve won twice,” Gadson said. “But ultimately, when it comes down to it — if I don’t get through the mini-tournament, then it doesn’t matter. If I don’t beat him twice, then it doesn’t matter. “That’s the beauty of the sport. Each time out there it’s different, but it’s still the same. You’re in a

Search committee named By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com

A nine-person search committee has been chosen to lead the search for the first senior vice president for university services at Iowa State. The new position is a result of President Steven Leath’s decision to split the current Office of Business and Finance into two new divisions: the division of university services and the division of finance. The search committee consists of two co-chairs and seven members: Co-chairs • Lisa Eslinger, senior vice president for business and operations for the ISU Foundation • David Spalding, dean of the College of Business

Members • Veronica Dark, professor of psychology and past president of Faculty Senate • Pete Englin, director of the Department of Residence • Chris Jorgensen, senior associate director of athletics • Reginald Stewart, vice president for diversity and inclusion • Tera Lawson, program coordinator in the Center for Technology in Learning and Teaching and president of the Professional and Scientific Council • Sarah Nusser, vice president for research and professor of statistics • Julie Nuter, associate vice president for university human resources The search is also on an expedited timeline, with Iowa State hoping to bring

finalists in the national search to campus for visits in early May and the new vice president beginning by July 1. The division of university services will oversee the following areas: • Facilities planning and management • Business services • Environmental health and safety • Public safety • Reiman Gardens • University Museums • WOI radio group Miles Lackey, Leath’s chief of staff, will retain his current position but also assume the new role of chief financial officer, leading the division of finance. Warren Madden, the current senior vice president for business and finance, will retire after the current school year.

Lecturer discusses ‘the end of days’ By Katlyn.Campbell @iowastatedaily.com Richard McCarty came to Iowa State University 22 years ago to study political science, but after meeting Hector Avalos, professor of religious studies, “things were never the same.” McCarty left campus 18 years ago, having switched his studies from political science to religious studies. He left with a bachelor’s in religious studies and he came back Thursday to talk with more than 200 people about his views on Christian ethics and sexual eschatology, or the study of the end of things. Students and faculty met at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union to hear McCarty, associate professor of religious studies at Mercyhurst University, discuss Christian discourse and how it impacts Christian ideas of sexual morality today. The lecture focused on Christian sexual ethics and Christian thinking about “the end of days.” He talked of eschatology, which is important to understanding Christian theology. “When we call something good or bad individually, we have a framework by which we make those decisions,” McCarty said. “But how many of us ever stop and ask ourselves, ‘What framework do I use to call something good or bad or neutral?’” McCarty used a metaphor to describe his view on ethics. “Ethics is a round table at which we sit together and ask each other tough questions,” he said. Sexual ethics, as defined by McCarty, is critical reflection on morality by which we give and demand reasons of one another

Richard McCarty speaks to an audience inside the Great Hall of the Memorial Union about his views on Christian sexual ethics. McCarty encouraged the investigation of the frameworks by which people make judgments.

for holding the positions that we do. McCarty suggested that Christian ethical frameworks were defined by interpretations of the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, doctrines of churches (or by the authority of particular ecclesiastical leaders/figures), natural law, pastoral theology and lived experience. These various frameworks represent the variety of viewpoints Christians may use to interpret the Bible. McCarty spoke about ethics by addressing the question, “Is eschatology a site from which we can think about sexuality and/or

sexual ethics?” He concluded that the answer was yes, and it has been done before. McCarty talked about “the life to come” from Hebrew scriptures. McCarty believes there are ultimately mixed signals on the life to come within these scriptures. However, McCarty said the oral law of Judaism helps guide questions and answers for the Hebrew scriptures. He said it has ultimately been stated that there will be no sex past death and into the afterlife. In regard to Islam and the

Quran’s view of life to come, McCarty said there will be a resurrection and final judgment and that life past death will be a sensual paradise. McCarty read sections of the Quran that he believed evoked the sensual state after death. “I’m not here to set norms for Christians this evening,” McCarty said. “I’m asking that we examine the frameworks by which we make moral judgments, including the ways that Christians make moral judgements, and I’m asking people to take serious that eschatology is one of those frameworks.”

Sanders fires back; ISU sees crime decrease Democratic presidential candidates trade blows; report shows improvements in safety By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Miss the news this week? Read our recap of the biggest stories below. Sanders: Clinton “not qualified” to be president The Democratic race for president is starting to sound like the Republican race for president, as Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton started to trade jabs accusing each other of not being fit to be president. While Clinton has not specifically said Sanders is not qualified, she told MSNBC, “I think he hadn’t done his homework and he’d been talking for more than a year about doing things that he obviously hadn’t really studied or understood, and that does raise a lot of questions.” Sanders said after reading a Washington Post headline titled “Clinton questions whether Sanders is qualified to be president,” he decided to respond, in which he questioned whether she was “qualified.” “They’re going to question my qualifications, well I’m going to question theirs,” Sanders said. In a lengthy press release Wednesday night, Sanders said Clinton is not qualified because of a list of items, including taking special interest money thorough a Super PAC, voting for the Iraq

War and voting for “disastrous” trade agreements. Iowa State sees a decline in crime in 2015 A report from the Board of Regents released this week showed Iowa State is trending toward a decrease in crime on campus. There were 1,879 offenses at Iowa State in 2015, compared to 2,042 offenses in 2014, the report stated. Out of those offenses, there were 1,011 charges in 2015, 264 less than 2014. Out of the 1,011 charges, 792 ended in arrests, according to the report. Alcohol violations made up a large number of the crimes

committed. Out of the 566 alcohol violations from ISU Police, 362 were ISU students, or 64 percent. That was higher than at the University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa, where the percentages were 36 and 47, respectively. While Iowa State ranks highest in terms of student population, a significantly higher number of charges released to alcohol were reported at Iowa State compared to the two other state schools, the regents documents showed. Faculty Senate approves mandatory course for international students Along with presentations from

The 3 was good, and the season was over for the Tarheels. “It is still surreal,” said Villanova Coach Jay Wright.

A dog flu outbreak has recently struck Chicago, and some experts believe Iowa could be next. Dr. Bryce Kibbel of Iowa State’s College of Veterinary Medicine said the last time Iowa was hit with canine influenza, or dog flu as it is more commonly referred to as, was March 2015. Although no cases have been reported in Iowa since the outbreak in Chicago, Kibbel believes there is a high possibility of this disease crossing over the border of Illinois and Iowa. “I think eventually it’s going to get here,” Kibbel said. “Just the way people travel with their pets, I think it’s just a matter of time.” When this disease hit Chicago in 2015, more than 1,700 dogs were affected, according to CBS News. The recent outbreak has claimed about 150 pups as of March 25. “Dogs can contract the disease by nose to nose contact, through nasal fluid or breathing the same air,” Kibbel said. “Basically through the air or direct contact.” The virus is most commonly spread between dogs, but a small percentage of cats have contracted the disease. Cats with this disease tend to have a harder time recovering than dogs. A very small percentage of infected dogs gets very sick or faces death, Kibbel said. Although canine influenza was reported in Iowa in March 2015, it has not hit Iowa during this round of infections. Kibbel said it is important for owners to know what symptoms to look for in their dogs. He compared symptoms of dog flu to symptoms of the human virus dealt with every year. If your dog is coughing, has a lack of appetite, watery eyes, low energy or a fever, it could possibly be infected with the illness. Most dogs recover within a few weeks, but the disease can be fatal in a small percentage, Kibbel added. Kibbel said there is not currently a specific vaccine for the disease and there are no anti-viral medications recommended for the canine disease. Medications are available, but many clinics, including Iowa State’s small animal hospital, are not offering them yet. Kibbel said he expects people will start using these medications more in the future. Iowa State’s diagnostic lab created a test to detect the disease, and it is ready for use if needed. “We’re looking at being vigilant looking for it,” Kibbel said. “The sooner we know about it, the faster that we can change our vaccine protocols and ideas about keeping these dogs from getting other dogs sick.”

Leadership summit will provide enlightenment By Mollie.Shultz @iowastatedaily.com One group on campus believes there needs to be more opportunities for international women’s leadership, especially on Iowa State’s campus, and it is getting together to show this. The International Student Council will host the Aspiring International Women’s Leadership Summit from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday in Carver 204. Members of the International Student Council are expecting about 30 students to attend the event, which is similar to years past. Despite the somewhat low numbers, members said the summit

provides students a unique opportunity to learn from their peers. The summit will focus on leadership opportunities for women on campus, especially international women. In addition to leadership opportunities, the summit will also focus on the challenges women face when they attempt to achieve leadership positions. The summit, which has happened every year since 2013, also provides students in attendance a chance to share their stories and learn from one another. Ras Mohd-Rosli, senior in economics and president of the organization, has participated in the event in the past and said she believes

it gives students, especially the international women in attendance, confidence. “The summit can give them the inspiration because at the summit, they will meet other multicultural students, other international student leaders,” Mohd-Rosli said. “We will share stories, we’ll share challenges, so I believe that the summit can empower the women who attend.” The summit’s schedule will consist of speakers, activities for participants and discussions over the stories and information presented to the participants. The structure of the summit has remained relatively the same over the last few years, but this year will see some

new changes. In past summits, the discussion and activities were wrapped into three different objectives focusing on how to empower women leaders. This year, the International Student Council added a new objective to the original three. This objective is focused on brainstorming ways to raise awareness about different issues facing women and girls around the world regarding their education, rights, labor and marriage, Mohd-Rosli said. Allen Robles, junior in kinesiology and one of the four main planners for the Aspiring International Women’s Leadership Summit is hoping that the sum-

mit will expose leadership possibilities and positions. “What we’re trying to do is expose them to other opportunities that they might not even have heard of,” Robles said. Robles and Mohd-Rosli also said they hope students realize the summit is open to everyone, including men and domestic students, not just international women students. Getting feedback and opinions from men will, in Robles and Mohd-Rosli’s opinion, help strengthen ideas of how to overcome the adversity they face. Men can provide insight into the problems they see in international and women’s leadership throughout campus

and the world at large. The Aspiring International Women’s Leadership Summit provides all students a chance to step up and face their fears and put a foot in the door for their future. “International women are intimidated by the environment, by how other people see them,” MohdRosli said. “I think we can achieve, know that we’re not alone, and we can move forward together.” The summit is open to all students. The club prefers that people wishing to come will register by Friday; if students do not register and wish to attend, they are asked to contact the club on the day of.

Sweere, senior in supply chain management who has been involved in Student Government since her sophomore year, said she and Breitbarth spent weeks combing through campus to identify priority issues the two were going to focus on. “And we really looked at campus and really tried to figure out where we had gaps,” Sweere said.“But I think that in itself tells a story that [inclusion] wasn’t something that got talked about,” she continued. “Even just watching all the student groups that have popped up since then... shows that maybe people were feeling this but nobody was empowered enough.” The fact so many people were feeling the same way speaks to a larger issue, students said: a largely white campus oblivious to its privileges and students of color feeling they don’t belong. White privilege consists of the set of advantages Caucasians experience without earning them and perks that people of color do not receive. It is living comfortably in society, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s project on Teaching Tolerance. White people see a “skincolored” bandage that matches their skin. When coloring with crayons, the one marked as “nude” is usually a peachy cream. If a white person gets pulled over, he doesn’t have to worry if it’s because of his race. When a white person walks into the room, he can walk in with the assurance the room will be full of white people. But when Breitbarth

was meeting with multiple student organizations the weeks after the protest, he sat through the slightest sample of what minority students may go through on a daily basis. “There were times I was the only white person in the room,” Breitbarth said. “It was different. That doesn’t happen very often, especially on this campus. I have no knowledge of what some of those students have to go through, but I kind of felt some of it at certain times.” Breitbarth grew up in Ankeny and attended school at Saydel on the eastern side of Des Moines, a school with a more diverse population than other Iowa high schools, but running a campaign for student body president transformed his outlook on white privilege. “It would be hard,” Breitbarth said, slowly, “to run a super successful campaign if you weren’t white, in all honesty.” When voting for a leader, Breitbarth said people often try to find similarities with that person, whether it be their policies or what issues they want to address. “Or whether it be the color of their skin,” he continued. “With a majority of our student groups being dominated by Caucasian students, it’s easier to identify with them. I definitely had a leg up without wanting it.” Sweere said she can understand where white students may sometimes feel they can’t contribute to the conversation because of their skin color. “White privilege in particular isn’t something I’ve had

and systematic oppression on this campus. The panel was scheduled in response to the Sept. 12, 2015, CyHawk football game; however, it was not the sole reason for the event. It just happened to be the final straw. A panel of students shared accounts of daily injustices and discrimination that minority students, faculty and staff experience on campus. Maria Alcivar, graduate student in human development and family studies, was a member of the student panel questioning the gathered administrators: President Steven Leath, former Senior Vice President of Student Affairs Tom Hill and former Dean of Students Pamela Anthony. Alcivar tearfully described when a woman at the Trump protest shoved a hand into her face and was told “you don’t belong here.” Another panelist, Jazmin Murguia, shared how she felt when she first arrived at Iowa State with the more than 550 people in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. “I have to admit, my freshman year [at Iowa State] was hell,” said Murguia, senior in journalism and mass communication. She said her first roommate made her Halloween costume a “Mexican costume.” Leath, Hill and Anthony made a public promise to the students they were going to put their heads together to create a plan to make Iowa State more inclusive. All spurred from Trump’s visit to campus. The week after, Breitbarth said, was a week of late nights, early mornings, angry students and a lot of thinking. “There were a lot of people pissed at me that week,” he said with a heavy breath. “It was eye-opening.” Sweere, a Muscatine native, said she was thankful Trump came along. He twisted open the cap on a campus fizzing with pentup pressure ready to be released. “Before that... we weren’t aware of the inclusion issues or people feeling they didn’t belong here,” she said.

to think about,” she said. “I think, though, that putting a light on the diversity issues has at least allowed some white people to say, ‘I need to think about the way that I act. ‘” Student Government over the years has been criticized for consisting of a white room. Sweere said, though, that visual differences aren’t the only forms of diversity; someone who grew up in the same town or lives on the same dorm floor will still have a different experience than another person. This is why, Sweere said, she thinks many ISU students haven’t talked about diversity in the past. People who consider themselves in the white majority of campus feel they aren’t allowed to participate in the conversation on diversity. “I think sometimes we get caught up in diversity as in cultural or the bigger diversity or you start to feel if you’re considered ‘normal’ by society,” she said. “You start to feel like you can’t take part in those conversations. That’s an important thing to be talking about, as well. You don’t have to be ‘different’ you can still be diverse in your opinions.” And she too recognizes her own white privileges, saying she knows she’s never had to worry about not feeling accepted or comfortable because of her skin color. “I think that’s the shift that needs to happen on campus to really make this diversity and inclusion thing come to life,” she said. “Until every single person on campus feels like they have a voice in the conversation, then we really aren’t reaching our goal of the diversity and inclusion because that includes everybody. It has to be every single person.” Breitbarth leaves with a wish for the future of Iowa State. “I would love it if there would be unity on campus. That students know when they’re coming to Iowa State, yes we’re still in the state of Iowa and yes there are people who are still racist, but I would hope Iowa State is not that place. When you come to Iowa State, that’s a safe haven.”

Mississippi passed into law a bill that gives businesses, individuals and organizations the right to refuse service to LGBT individuals.

Mississippi law serves as excuse for bigotry Emily Blobaum/Iowa State Daily

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks to supporters at the Olmsted Center at Drake University in Des Moines on Feb. 1. Columnist King argues that Americans have the right to not trust Clinton because she has consistently changed her views on hot-topic issues and has lied during speeches.

Lack of trust is warranted Contradicting views show candidate is not ready to lead U.S. By Scott.King @iowastatedaily.com

illary Clinton has a good chance of being the Democratic nominee for the 2016 presidential election. This is extremely surprising to me considering how few Americans actually trust her. In a recent poll released by the Daily Caller News Foundation, Clinton was the only candidate to have twice as many people rate her as “not honest and trustworthy” as she was rated “honest and trustworthy.” Clinton received 27 percent honest and 56 percent not honest. In my opinion, Americans have a good reason not to trust Clinton as she consistently contradicts herself and sometimes outright lies. There is also proof that she might be hiding a lot of important things about herself from the public. Let’s talk about a few of the times when Clinton completely lied to or mislead the public. In 2008, Clinton said in several speeches that she had landed under sniper fire in Bosnia. I don’t know if this was an attempt to impress voters, but it simply wasn’t true. Videos showed Clinton nonchalantly exiting the plane with no danger in sight. I know this lie took place seven years ago, but as she continues

to mislead the public, I think it still makes a strong statement about her character. For the majority of her career, Clinton was not in favor of the legalization of gay marriage. “I l believe that marriage is … between a man and a woman, she said in 2004.” In 2010 she reiterated that point, saying, “I have not supported same-sex marriage.” Yet in 2013 she gamed out in favor of same-sex marriage. In my opinion, Clinton changed her mind on this issue for political reasons. She wanted to be viewed favorably by voters because same-sex marriage was getting closer to acceptance and legalization in the United States. It’s OK for Clinton to occasionally change her mind about controversial topics, but when she consistently contradicts herself, I’m led to believe that she often just says what she knows people want to hear. Clinton has contradicted herself more than she has remained consistent in her views, and that speaks volumes about her motive. In April 2015, Clinton claimed that all of her grandparents came to America from foreign countries. Politifact, an organization well respected for fact checking politicians, found Clinton’s claim to be false. Its research found that only one of her grandparents had immigrated to the United States, while the other three were born in the United States. The real story isn’t as flashy. While, again, this isn’t a huge lie, it shows that she has no problem fabricating the truth to get voters to see her in a more favorable light.

Politifact also found that Clinton’s claim that “We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt,” when she and Bill Clinton left the White House after his time as president, to be “mostly false.” Dig around on the internet and you can find more instances of Hillary Clinton either lying or drastically changing her stance on political topics. I can’t write about Hillary Clinton’s lack of trustworthiness without mentioning her email scandal. If you ask me, the scandal is substantial proof that she has a lot to hide from us about her career. To sum it up for those who don’t know the full story, Hillary Clinton basically used a private email server instead of a government email account when she was secretary of state. The major issue is that this unauthorized server was not secure enough to send government grade documents. When government officials went to retrieve those emails to see which ones needed to be filed away in public record, they found that many of the emails were missing. Hillary Clinton and her advisers had deleted about 30,000 emails, claiming they were personal to her. Whether this was legal or illegal is still up in the air, but I personally think that there might have been content in those emails that would have drastically hurt Hillary Clinton’s chances of becoming president, and so she chose to delete them. Americans are right not to trust Hillary Clinton.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Bigoted letter is proof ISU lacks tolerance By Jen Lamont Reader of Iowa State Daily I would like to state first and foremost that I’m a Canadian American high school student who was actively interested in your highly rated music program. After reading such a vitriolic article (“Political corectness plagues Iowa State” by Charles Braun), I’m extremely glad I have not pursued it fully as I enjoy open, tolerant campuses full of diversity and positivity, all of which Iowa State University lacks. My belief in fairness and equality for all is not “indoctrination” into a weak mindset. It is my political correctness that allows me to communicate politely and efficiently to others, and respect their views and wishes. Likewise, offering free contraception does not equate sexually-active students to “trained monkeys unable to control their passions,” but rather is a safe option for those not wanting to contract STDs or become pregnant.

Parents of ISU students should not be upset their children are receiving safe and affordable safe sex protection. In fact, many parents, teachers and guardians I know would welcome it as it creates a safer, more accepting environment on campus for students who are sexually active. Shaming students for being in control of their body breeds intolerance and spite, as well as low self-esteem. This should be avoided at all costs as it creates negativity on campus and in the minds of students. As for the disgusting transphobia, I am appalled. A man self mutilating his body for silly fantasies is never equal to the dysphoria, extreme distress, self hatre, and suicidal thoughts that transgender people face daily. This blatant transphobia and discrimination is never OK. Trans women are women, no matter what others say. It’s horrific to see this hate speech in what is otherwise a diverse and accepting newspaper. “No one has yet explained why all forms of love are equally valid, whether heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, polygamous, or

involving pedophilia, bestiality, incest, necrophilia or any of the letters in the gender alphabet soup. Is it really best not to discuss the ramifications of such an idea? Here at Iowa State though, people questioning the above have been called bigots.” I am a gay teenage girl, and I have done no harm to anyone else. My sexuality is not a crime, nor do I deserve to be compared to pedophiles, necrophiliacs or sexual abusers. These criminals should never be compared to harmless minorities who just happen to differ in whom they prefer sexually and romantically. During my time as openly gay, I have gotten hate mail, bullied, harassed, physically attacked, kicked out of my church and disrespected in my home. All of this suffering for loving another girl. I did not go through this for homophobes to deny their bigotry. Moreover, the derogatory use of “gender alphabet soup” shows little respect for non cisgendered ISU students, and disdain for those who do not fit the perfect heterosexual, cisgendered model student.

Diversity is necessary for any learning environment as it allows students to educate one another on their own personal struggles and the differences between them without unneeded spite and scorn. By shaming minorities and the diversity of Iowa State, this perpetuates a toxic situation that cannot be altered without serious dynamic changes. I would assume college students and graduates would be able to respect others’ lifestyles, but apparently not. The casual hatred of minorities is much too normalized on your campus if this is acceptable reading material. This immature, vile hate speech should never be allowed to be posted online, nevertheless in a college’s newspaper. Please remove this article as it projects a bigoted view of Iowa State, and projects vast amounts of homophobia, transphobia and malice onto your website. Furthermore, please more carefully edit your future posts to make sure they are respectful and accepting of all of your students, not the select majority.

Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant signed House Bill 1523 into law Tuesday. The new law, which is a sort of strengthening of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 2014, allows businesses, individuals and organizations the right to deny service to members of the LGBT community, single mothers, transgender individuals and anyone else whose lifestyle offends the deeply religious. This bigoted, draconian law specifically targets the transgender community by only recognizing genders assigned at birth. By using the guise of “religious freedom” to discriminate against those of different sexual orientations and those who do not share a fundamentalist view of sexuality, the state of Mississippi once again finds itself at the heart of discrimination in America. This Jim Crow style legislation serves to provide religious freedom to only one religion in the state: fundamentalist Christianity. Instead of recognizing that freedom of religion is the same as freedom from religion, Mississippi has allowed for the legal spread of bigotry, hatred and discrimination. While far from the only state with such unconstitutional policies toward people of different beliefs and sexualities, House Bill 1523 serves as the latest in a line of right-wing attempts to rob individuals of their right to self-expression and their right to consensual love. The irony of the bill is that it attempts to reinforce the deeply held religious beliefs on sexuality in a state that has the third highest teen pregnancy rate in the country. In 2012, approximately 13 babies were born to teenage mothers every day. This makes the idea of Mississippi as a sort of fundamental safe haven all the more laughable. The bill itself goes beyond travails like wedding license and cakes. HB 1523 would allow the denial of housing, essential services and needed care to the 60,000 LGBT residences of the state — not to mention the innumerous amount of single mothers. It is apparently more important to fundamentalist Christians in Mississippi to protect their false sense of religious superiority than to actually follow the teachings of Christ — those teaching being ones of acceptance, tolerance and kindness. Instead of housing the homeless and feeding the hungry, Mississippi legislators are more interested in putting members of the LGBT community at every disadvantage they can find. This hypocritical, un-Christ like view of faith only serves to point out the ridiculousness of anti-LGBT arguments. Individual religious belief is important; no one is denying that. But what is equally as important is giving everyone, no matter their belief, sexuality or gender an equal chance. By legalizing the denial of rights to a certain group of people, Mississippi has spit in the face of the words “All Men Are Created Equal.”

Linebacker Kane Seeley celebrates with linebacker Willie Harvey after recovering a fumble against Iowa on Sept. 12, 2015, at Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones lost to the Hawkeyes 31-17.

ISU looks for consistency in linebackers By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com The ISU football team has taken significant strides in the past three weeks of spring practices, and the defense has been no exception. The linebackers in particular have improved over the spring, but it has been in quick bursts. There hasn’t been someone who has stood out on a day-today basis. “Guys have flashed at different points in times, naturally,” said linebackers coach Tyson Veidt. “At this point, we’ve had guys that have done well at times and guys — our big thing is we’re looking for consistency right now.” Veidt said he wants to see his linebackers show those flashes of brilliance on consecutive days, which he hasn’t seen yet this spring season.

It also doesn’t help that the Cyclones are battling a depth issue. Iowa State is returning Jordan Harris, Brian Mills, Willie Harvey, Reggan Northrup and Kane Seeley who all have experience at the linebacker position. But the big loss comes in the form of former captain Levi Peters, who decided to hang up his cleats a month ago because of injuries. One way Veidt is trying to combat the lack of depth is cycling the linebackers through each linebacker position. If each player can play the outside as well as the inside linebacker positions, it will help the team substitute players in and out to keep them fresh. “For us, we need to find out who our top guys are as they’re learning things, as they’re making plays,” Veidt said. “But we need to build depth within our group.”

Just like the rest of the and the No. 3s were workteam, the linebackers are ing with the No. 1s.

said. Veidt has seen the same athletic ability from Harvey. He is also impressed with Harvey’s quickness. “He can run,” Veidt said. “That makes him stand out for sure. He’s 230 pounds, too, so he’s doing it with a big body.” Harvey realizes the team’s need for a consistent tackler. Last season, tackling was a large issue for the defense. And Harvey has a grasp on what work Campbell is expecting from him. “I just want to be a playmaker for my team,” Harvey said. “I’ve put in a lot of work that has put me above a couple of guys.” The coaches will keep a watchful eye on the linebackers in a closed scrimmage Saturday. [We want our linebackers to be able to] perform with the coaches on the field and in a game situation,” Veidt said.

Tennis team gears up for Kansas opponents Cyclones ready to return to court, continue success By Les.Mwirichia @iowastatedaily.com Now boasting the winningest season record in ISU tennis history, the (134, 1-2 Big 12) Cyclones have an opportunity to take it a notch further against Big 12 opponents Kansas State and Kansas this weekend in Ames. After picking up their first Big 12 road win against West Virginia (6-8, 0-3 Big 12) last weekend, the Cyclones took a day to rest, then jumped right back on the courts to prepare for the Wildcats (8-9, 0-4 Big 12) and the Jayhawks (12-5, 2-2 Big 12). The Cyclones filled days with two-a-day practices, which included team practices and individual workouts. But the main focus was in doubles. “We have really been going hard and focusing on doubles since the win against West Virginia,” said redshirt freshman Liera Bender. “We know that both Kansas and Kansas State are good teams. [The] coaches have really been

pushing us to understand how important the doubles point will be against both teams.” All season long, head coach Armando Espinosa and assistant coach Chris Williams have been implying the importance of winning doubles to their team. The doubles point victory has been the catalyst for the Cyclones’ 13 wins. “We cannot win without the doubles,” Williams said. “It’s something that we have been preaching all season long and will be a determining factor to weather or not we win this weekend.” Williams also mentioned that it will have to be a team effort in order to get both wins this weekend. “We haven’t faced an opponent that it has come down to one individual player to determine the match,” he said. “We don’t rely on one individual player to win the match for us. Everything we do, we do as a team, and it will be the same this weekend against Kansas and Kansas State. We just have to go out there and get it done.” Another factor to take into consideration will be the weather, which has forced Iowa State indoors. The Cyclones have won all but two indoor matches this season.

Les Mwirichia/Iowa State Daily

Senior Alejandra Galvis serves the ball during doubles practice at the Ames Racquet & Fitness Center on Feb. 22. Doubles will be essential for Iowa State to defeat Kansas State and Kansas this weekend.

“We will play indoors tomorrow which is good and we won’t have to battle against the elements,” said coach Armando Espinosa. “We feel confident about playing both teams indoors tomorrow.” With a few days left to prepare, all that’s left to

do for the Cyclones is to tighten the loose ends going into this weekend’s matchups. And with junior Samantha Budai returning to practice, the Cyclones feel confident going into the weekend. Budai didn’t practice

with the team late last month because of a loss in her family. She instead traveled to her hometown in Ontario, Canada, to support her family. “Sami has really stepped up as a leader since she got back,” Espinosa said. “I’m glad that she got to be with

her family, but also happy that she is back. We will need her this weekend.” The Cyclones will play Kansas State at 2 p.m. Friday and Kansas at 11 a.m. Sunday. Both matches will be at the Ames Racquet and Fitness Center.

Volleyball to host spring tournament By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com

TOURNAMENT INFO When: 10 a.m. Saturday Where: Hilton Coliseum, Ames, Ia. What: Iowa State Spring Tournament

ISU junior outside hitter Alexis Conaway blocks the volleyball against Texas on Nov. 14, 2015, at Hilton Coliseum.

Six teams from around the area will come to Ames to play volleyball in the Iowa State Spring Tournament on Saturday at Hilton Coliseum. ISU volleyball will play four teams: Creighton, North Dakota State, Northern Iowa and Iowa. Each match will be two sets so they can get through all of the matches. The Cyclones played Creighton last weekend in Omaha, Neb. The Cyclones lost in four sets (31-33, 25-23, 26-24, 2522). Iowa State has been working on its block throughout the spring season, and coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said the block improved from the Hawaii match, but there is still room for more improvement. “We blocked better in terms of just numbers,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Hawaii hit .270 against us, and Creighton hit .270 against us — that’s the number we need to drop.” Another focus for the Cyclones this spring has been replacing All-American libero Caitlin Nolan. Abby Phillips has played in both of the first two spring games for Iowa State, recording more than 18 digs in each match. Creighton features All-American outside hitter Jaali Winters, so Phillips will be tested once again. “[My goal is] just really getting used to their hitters and digging them,” Phillips said. This tournament will be the Cyclones’ only home event of the spring season. Naturally, they said they are excited to play in front of the Cyclone faithful. “[I’m] really excited,” said outside hitter

Morgan Kuhrt. “It’s always fun to play in Hilton. We always get a great crowd, even for a spring tournament. It’ll be a great competition so we are really excited.” ISU volleyball has familiarized itself with Creighton, but two teams that don’t need any introduction to the ISU team or fans are also coming to Ames. Iowa State plays Northern Iowa and Iowa every season, and the teams know each other well. Iowa brings a style to the table that Iowa State hasn’t seen a lot of this spring season. “They like to run a really nice slide and that’ll be good for us because we’ve been working on blocking a lot,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We’ll get to test our mettle against that.” Phillips is a freshman, so she didn’t get to play against Iowa during the fall season. She hails from Cedar Rapids and is a lifelong ISU fan. Her first crack at Iowa will come this weekend. “I’ve always had a hate toward Iowa, but I think a lot of Iowa State people do,” Phillips said. “I think it’s exciting because we lost to them last year at their place, but they’re going to be here, so I think it’ll be a really good game.” Northern Iowa is another team ISU volleyball is familiar with. The Panthers made the tournament last season, so they’ll be another good challenge for the Cyclones. “UNI is really scrappy and they’re a very good defensive team,” Kuhrt said. “That really challenges our hitters offensively to really go up and get a kill.” The Cyclones are excited for the all-day event. “It should be a lot of good volleyball all day,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Lots of good experience for us.”

Softball remains positive, strives for more By Curran.McLaughlin @iowastatedaily.com The ISU softball team’s first steps through the doors of conference play haven’t been easy steps to take. After being blown out 50-10 in their three-game weekend series against Baylor (32-7, 5-0 Big 12), the Cyclones were all but thrown right out of that door. Tack on two more losses from in-state opponents, and it’s been a rough week for Iowa State leading into its next conference opponent. Iowa State will play against Oklahoma State (17-17, 0-4 Big 12) on Friday for a weekend series in Stillwater, Okla. The two teams are entering the series on a fivegame losing streak. In an attempt to break that losing streak, Iowa State will focus on the posi-

GADSON p1 different competition, it’s a different environment [and] everything is different, but it’s still: you’re in this circle, and the better man at that time comes out on top. “I really plan and believe that I’ll be the better man on Sunday, April 10.” Since Gadson pinned Snyder at the 2015 NCAA Championships, Gadson has wrestled in three tournaments. In his first tournament wrestling freestyle, he went 1-2. After that, Gadson bounced back strong and took third place, going 5-1. In his most recent tournament in February, Gadson traveled 10,000 miles round trip to Belarus. He went 0-1. Gadson traveled 10,000

tives from its recent losses. “We got to walk away with anything positive from [those games],” said ISU softball coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler. That positivity comes from flashes of offense in game two against Baylor and the game against Drake on Tuesday. Iowa State scored five runs in one inning against Baylor and four runs in one inning against Drake. The Cyclones have been struggling to score runs all season, having left 227 runners on base this season on 249 hits. “It’s to not get overly consumed with [games like Baylor],” GemeinhardtCesler said. “Once we get on base, we just have to score them.” Senior Sammie Hildreth said scoring those runs helps builds confidence in tough losses. “We were able to score runs off of a good team. It

shows we can score runs off of anybody,” said Hildreth, who has two hits, three RBIs and a home run during Iowa State’s fivegame losing streak. Sophomore Nychole Antillon said it’s about maintaining energy as well. She was on the verge of losing her voice after Iowa State’s second loss against Baylor. Antillon said taking that energy and positivity at bat into the next game is important. That positivity is being channeled in getting runners in. “Seeing the ball and hitting the ball, and not necessarily over the fence,” Antillon said. “Just one on one hitting behind the runs, scoring the runners and getting the RBIs.” It’s been easier said than done for Iowa State so far this season, but Gemeinhardt-Cesler said she knows her players have what it takes.

“It’s just a matter of walking through [the] door, seeing it and knowing that you can do it,” GemeinhardtCesler said. Iowa State’s problems scoring have been painfully obvious in many games. This hasn’t discouraged

any players from working hard. Gemeinhardt-Cesler said she sees great work ethic in her players, which is displayed in the extra reps the players take any time they can. “I came out here [Mon-

day] and there were five players out here, and that’s their off day,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. “They’re [going to] do what they need to do to in order to feel comfortable, and that’s a great feeling knowing that.”

miles to lose one match. But that loss wasn’t all bad. It forced him to refocus his training. Gadson said he was training at high intensity before, but he wasn’t as focused as he should’ve been. The 10,000-mile loss opened his eyes and allowed him to refocus. Before, Gadson would be asked to speak here and there and do a lot of extracurricular things. But now, if he’s asked to do something that doesn’t help him achieve his dream, he’s going to politely say no. “Right now, the focus is on being an Olympian and being an Olympic gold medalist,” Gadson said. “If it doesn’t really equate to [being an Olympian], then, not to be rude or anything, I just can’t give my time to that.” Two people who do

equate to helping Gadson become an Olympian are Angel Escobedo, volunteer assistant coach and Cyclone Wrestling Club member, and fellow Cyclone Wrestling Club member Deron Winn. Escobedo made the 2013 U.S. World team and went to the Olympic qualifiers in 2012. He’s a senior-level wrestling veteran who’s been around the block. Gadson is relying on the 57 kg (125.5 pounds) wrestler as a mentor. “Angel’s a vet,” Gadson said. “He’s like my big, little brother. I outweigh him probably by 100 pounds, but he’s a vet. He’s been after this for a while. When I placed third at the Open, I kind of just tagged along on his hip, ‘Hey, what am I supposed to eat? What am I supposed to do? You tell me

what I’m supposed to do and I’m going to do it.’ I wrestled a really good tournament.” Escobedo didn’t have someone helping him like he’s helping Gadson during his first Olympic Trials, so he’s more than happy to assist Gadson. “I just try to give him advice,” Escobedo said. “I know my first go-around, I didn’t really have that, and I was just doing it on my own. It was a big shock. I think if you do have a guy that’s already done it, you can ask him questions, so when you get there you’re not shocked. You’re ready for it.” Winn is much closer to Gadson’s size. Winn will wrestle at 86 kg (189 pounds) at the Olympic trails. They’ve been sparring partners for the last few years. They’ve both learned and

taught each other a lot about wrestling. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship. They work out together, they go on trips with each other and they talk about wrestling a lot. They feed off of each other. But it wasn’t always pretty between Gadson and Winn. “We’ve hated each other,” Winn said. “There was a time last year we fought. We got into a fist fight in the wrestling room just because once you’re around somebody so much and we’re so competitive and train so hard that we kept clashing heads. We got pissed off enough at each other that we started swinging at each other.” Gadson has been putting in the work to achieve his Olympic dreams since he was in second grade, when his dad Willie Gadson, an

ISU star in his own right, first introduced him to the mat. “In my first ever wrestling practice, my dad said, ‘We have a long way to go, but we are going to get there, buddy,’” Gadson said. Willie passed away in 2013 after a year-long battle with cancer. Willie coached Gadson at Waterloo East High School in Waterloo, Iowa, to two undefeated seasons. He made his son put in the work. Since his 0-1 tournament in February, Gadson has been doing nothing but putting in the work. He’s been putting in the work his whole life. And he’s almost there. “The work has all been deposited in the bank,” Gadson said. “And now, I’m ready to withdraw some Olympic dreams.”

BOR p1 The company was chosen by the regents among proposals that were submitted from five firms, including The Gazette-owned Fusionfarm, The Gazette reported. The Global Reach team that is made up of “highly experienced” professionals in Ames includes web developers, search engine optimization experts, internet technology special-

The Board of Regents and Global Reach were not immediately available to comment, although Josh Lehman, who is a spokesperson for the regents, said there isn’t a conflict of interest because Global Reach is a private company that just happens to be based at Iowa State’s Research Park.
