Iowa’s contributions in Civil War remembered on 150th anniversary By Matthew.Rezab@iowastatedaily.com

hen an artillery shell dropped through Wilmer McLean’s kitchen fireplace on July 21, 1861, he decided it was a good time to move. The First Battle of Bull Run, also known as First Manassas, was the opening large scale battle between Union and Confederate forces... and it was happening in McLean’s front yard. Prudently, he decided to relocate to a safer location — Appomattox Court House, Va. Less than five years later, Gen. Robert E. Lee of the Confederacy was discussing terms of surrender with the Union’s Gen. Ulysses S. Grant in McLean’s new home. The war had come full circle, not only McClean, but the entire nation.

From Virginia to the Heartland Today marks the 150th anniversary of the surrender at Appomattox Court House, Va. — effectively ending hostilities between the Union and Confederate forces, and allowed the mending of the torn fabric the nation had become. Iowa soldiers did not play a major role in the final battles around Richmond and Petersburg leading to Lee’s surrender, but that doesn’t mean Iowan’s role in the war was minor or insignificant. “Most Iowa troops fought in the Western Theater,” said Jerome Thompson, State Curator of the Historical Society of

Iowa. “Iowans were at places like Wilson’s Creek in Missouri and Shiloh [and] Vicksburg. [Iowans] also served with William T. Sherman.” Throughout the war, approximately 79,000 Iowans volunteered for service, 13,000 of whom did not return home. Iowa sent a more men per capita than any other state in the Union. President Lincoln called for each state to raise a regiment of 1,000 soldiers to quell the southern uprising, believing the war would last no longer than six months. Iowa Gov. Samuel J. Kirkwood worried he’d be able to find the necessary volunteers. “They only wanted one

“What a cruel thing war is... to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors.” - Gen. Robert E. Lee

regiment, but they filled 10,” said Michael Hoskins, senior in history and ROTC cadet. Warriors from the Hawkeye State were also known for their ferociousness and dedication in battle, especially in the Battle of Shiloh in 1862. Thousands of Iowans and other Midwesterners held the point long enough at the “Hornet’s Nest” in the face of wave after wave of Confederate troops and brutal cannon fire to give Grant time to form a final defensive line and eventually turn the tide of battle. “You read some stories on them and [the Iowans] were just crazy,” Hoskins said. “They were the Rambos of their time.” Iowa also has the distinction of being the only state to field a regiment of men all age 45 or older. They were nicknamed the “Grey Beards” and served with distinction.

Maj. Gen. Grenville M. Dodge Grenville M. Dodge moved from Vermont to Iowa in 1851 after graduating from Norwich University. He spent the next decade of his life as a railroad surveyor until the war broke out and he was appointed Colonel of the 4th Iowa Volunteer Infantry Regiment. He was later appointed by Grant as commander of a division in the Army of the Tennessee, where his troops aided Grant and Sherman by “rapidly repairing and rebuilding the railroads, bridges and telegraph lines destroyed by the Confederates.” Yet, it was Dodge’s acumen as a pioneer of military intelligence and his post-war work for the Union Pacific on the transcontinental railroad.

The Government of the Student Body senators have elected Ben Crawford as speaker and Michael Snook as vice speaker of the Senate. Crawford was appointed as speaker with a vote of 24-7. In the first Senate meeting of the fiscal year, five senators were nominated for the position of speaker: Ian Marlenee, Kathryn Leidahl, Danielle Nygard, Ben Crawford and Ryan Starn. Crawford said the the speaker is to be the face and voice of the entire student Senate. “[The senators] are all committed and responsible individuals,” Crawford said. “The speaker is to help make you efficient. I won’t be the speaker, I will be your speaker.” Former Sen. Erick Dietz said this was the most important vote the Senate will have for the next couple months. “This is going to set the tone for the rest of the time on GSB,” Dietz said. “The speaker is the leader of the Senate. They need to be active and they need to be vocal. It’s critical to have the drive and dedication to get Senate to the best it can be.” As the next speaker, Crawford will be offered a scholarship due to a recent passing of a compensation bill. Crawford said the compensation has nothing to do with what makes a good leader. Sen. Abbie Lang said the senators should not vote based on whether the candidate wants compensation. Sen. Michael Snook agreed that compensation was irrelevant. “I’m not here to be popular, I’m here to benefit the students,” Snook said. “Crawford is smart and clear-headed, and I believe he is clear and systematic in his approach.” Sen. Brittany Gaura threw her support behind Crawford and said she believes the other can-

Tanning restrictions proposed for teens By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Tanning for teens may become a thing of the past under new legislation being debated in the Iowa Legislature that would restrict access to tanning facilities for anyone under 18. Senate File 232 was passed by the Senate on a mostly party-line vote, 26-23. The bill states “a tanning facility shall not allow a person under 18 years of age to use a tanning device.” State Sen. Herman Quirmbach, D-Ames, authored the Senate bill that would restrict access to teens. He defended the law,

citing the dangers of cancer and said he has support of many in the medical industry. “The importance of this bill is about the prevalence of skin cancer,” Quirmbach said. “The dermatologists who brought this to my attention are convinced and have the data to support this, that people, especially young people who do a significant amount of tanning, have a much greater incidence of skin cancer.” Quirmbach noted that a large number of medical groups of lobbyists have signed on to support the bill, including the American Suntanning Association. Other supporters, Quirmbach said, include the American Cancer Society, Cancer Action

Network, the Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics and the Polk County Medical Society. “It sounds like something that’s kind of innocent, you go get a tan to look good for prom, but when skin cancer sets in, you don’t look so cool anymore,” Quirmbach said. Quirmbach said he was not sure if the House would take up his bill, which has been sent to the House but has not been assigned to a committee. The House passed a similar bill out of the House Human Resources Committee on a 15-5 vote, but with some different language. The House bill includes the same language related to age restrictions, but also includes some regulations such as a requirement to post warning signs in tanning facilities and a requirement that tanning salons must provide customers with a written warning about the dangers of using tanning devices.

New legislation that is being debated in the Iowa Legislature would prevent anyone under the age of 18 from gaining access to tanning facilities.

Lecturer speaks about the lives of women in prison By Carolina.Colon @iowastatedaily.com Rachel Williams called upon her audience to think about the alarming prison rate statistics while they were watching “Orange is the New Black” for entertainment. Williams mentioned this and other aspects of life in prison at her lecture on Wednesday, where about 130 students gathered in the Great Hall to listen to her experiences working with women in prison. Williams is an associate professor of gender, women’s and sexuality studies at the University of Iowa. She has worked with several projects including Detroit Race Riots, The Prison Chronicles, which are a series of stories about working in women’s prisons. Williams has worked with incarcerated

women since 1994. Williams started her conversation giving the definition of prison. The main characteristics seen in prisons worldwide are composed of intersections of race, class, gender and sexuality. “Women in prison are a very particular population,” Williams said. “Only 10 percent are female in state prisons.” Nearly 8 in 10 women were abused before prison. About six to 10 women were sexually abused in the past. Seven in 10 women have minor children. Williams said having a child while being in prison is punishing your child. “When you watch ‘Orange is the New Black’ for entertainment think about these statistics,“ Williams said. Levi Jensen, sophomore in child, adult and family services, said Williams’ topic is one not talked about enough. “When it comes to women in

Williams

prison, it’s an issue that needs to be talked about more,” Jensen said. Williams also addressed how individuals make money out of prison. Calling a family member behind the bars is an expensive hour. According to the Iowa Prison Industry, workers go to prisons to help make furniture to teach offenders the skills needed to be successful citizens upon release. Some of Iowa State’s furni-

ture was made in prisons. Open a drawer — if living in a residence hall — check the side and notice it says, “Iowa Prison Industries.” Prisons in Iowa are overpopulated by roughly 12 percent, with Hispanics and Black the majority of this percentage. About 39,000 individuals are in the prisons of Iowa. Substance abuse is considered an element of mental illness in women. “I go to the women prison at least one time a week. I’ve done this for at least 16 years,” Williams said. “The thing about prison — life goes on. They will tell you stories that are crushing, you think of how they lived through this and they still find ways to continue with life.” After prison, it can be hard to make a life. Individuals consider you as a criminal, employers often won’t offer work and prisoners also have a felony on their record.

What actually happens to people who go to prison is that they tend to disappear from our memories and create an enemy for the society to feed on, Williams said. “Prison dehumanizes everybody, not only the people who are actually incarcerated,” Williams said. “Even the doctors, nurses that work hard everyday to help prisoners.” Madison Bates, junior in child, adult and family services, said Williams was very engaging and fun to listen to. She is also involved in a project named Women’s Collective, which sends students to different prisons, where they work in circles. Women’s Collective has been around for about four to five years. Williams found the biggest problems women face while being in prison were motherhood, medical care, substance abuse and healthy relationships.

Students encouraged to complete survey on sexual misconduct By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com

John McCarroll, director of university relations, said though he knows students do not often want to fill out surveys, the survey will provide crucial data for the White House and college campuses on how often sexual assaults occur. The survey is sent to every ISU student through their CyMail account, and the survey can be filled out through there. “The results will be used to guide policies to encourage a healthy, safe and nondiscriminatory environment at Iowa State University. It is important to hear from you, even if you believe these issues do not directly affect you,” said Robin Kelley, Title IX coordinator, in the email.

Students have the chance to help prevent sexual assaults and misconduct and help survivors by completing a campus climate survey on sexual assault. The survey is part of a national survey put out by the White House to combat the rape culture and sexual assaults that occur on college campuses nationwide. ISU administrators are able to add questions specific to Iowa State to the survey in order to get feedback on sexual misconduct specific to Iowa State. The survey is completely confidential, as well.

ISU students embark on cultural voyage By Berenice.Liborio @iowastatedaily.com Marissa Holub said she had an unforgettable, lifechanging experience venturing through the streets of Valencia, Spain during her summer there. Holub, junior in psychology with a minor in Spanish, didn’t have time to take a whole semester off to study abroad. Instead, she went during the summer for a six-week program. “I’ve always wanted to go abroad and they advertised this program where I could finish my Spanish minor if I went abroad and it seemed like a really good opportunity and it wasn’t super expensive, so I figured why not,” Holub said. Holub said the Study Abroad Center staff was helpful. It can even help provide students with a passport photo. Holub was one of a record 1,800 ISU students who took part in study, volunteer and service-learning abroad opportunities. More than 1,630 earned academic credit during their time abroad and 64 participated in service-learning projects, according to the Study Abroad Center. “I think the increase of university enrollment obviously plays a part,” said Trevor Nelson, director of the Study Abroad Center. Nelson said there has been an increase in the number of programs offered. “I think students go to the university now with an expectation that didn’t exist 10, 20 or 30 years ago that they will study abroad,” Nelson said. Culture is a key factor for students wanting to go abroad to become exposed to other ideas and other ways of looking at issues. Nelson, who has been at Iowa State for almost 25 years, is originally from the United Kingdom and did his undergraduate work at Lancaster University. He studied abroad in the United States for his graduate work in Michigan. He said he had a great experience and wouldn’t trade it for anything. “If you experience the world, you’re bound to be impacted by it and I think one thing that it does to a person is enable them to better understand the world,” Nelson said. “And interestingly, it also helps

them understand not just the culture their visiting or the specific country their visiting, but also helps them understand their own culture when they return.” Financial aid plays an important role for students attending universities and for studying abroad, Nelson said. Students remain eligible for financial aid when they go abroad. “Financial aid was really easy to get for this and plus scholarships,” Holub said. Holub said she would describe her study abroad experience as amazing. ISU Spanish program coordinators went on the trip and were helpful, she said. She

took classes in Valencia and took six credits there, which all transferred back to Iowa State. “I love Spain,” Holub said. “It probably was one of the best experiences of my life.” Holub said she is now much more appreciative of other cultures and tries to make an effort to understand them. It taught her how to be independent in the way if she wanted something she could not ask for it in English. She had to figure out how to say it in Spanish. “It definitely made me more confident in approaching natives and try to get my point across,”

Holub said. “I can’t speak it fluently but I think I can definitely speak it better now than what I could when I got there.” Going to Spain is something she said she thinks about every day and still meets with the friends she made there. There were 70 students in the program, and she made friends with 15 of them and still has relationships with most. One is even going to be her roommate next year. Célize Christy, senior in animal science and global resources, studied abroad and did an internship this summer in Kamuli, Uganda. She applied

for the program called “Creating a School Garden” service learning program through the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, a program that selected only eight students. Christy said this opportunity was different because by traveling to Uganda and working with the people within the community, the group impacted locals’ lives. Christy had to take a course before she went to learn about the culture, so she could learn what they would do and about the language and requirements needed before they got there. The program she went

through was a servicelearning program with the goal of benefitting the school lunch program within two primary schools in the Kamuli district. The group of ISU students worked on various projects such as irrigation, agro-forestry, nutrition and health, nutrition education and poultry. The school garden, which was established to grow crops to be used for school lunches, was greatly affected by the projects. When the program started in 2006, the school lunch gave children 50 calories. Now the school lunch has increased to about 800 to 900 calories. “It kind of reinsures on what your doing is great,” Christy said. Christy said as a person living in the U.S., you hear about poverty and people who are malnourished, and then you hear about people donating, but you never get to see where your causes are going to. When the money gets to the other side, you never see where it’s going or whom it’s impacting. “Going to Uganda and being immediately immersed in the community and being with people every single day that are from there and being with the children, you really see what they’re talking about and that people are impoverished. You get to see what hungry and malnourished looks like,” Christy said. Christy said this experience is different from any other study abroad. They get paired with students from a Uganda university. They are not only working with the mother and children but also working alongside university students who are studying in Uganda. “Ever since I’ve studied abroad I’ve been encouraging students to go especially somewhere they’ve never been or somewhere they’ve been dying to go. Prepare yourself [to] ask questions … definitely come back with a new site and a new view of things,” Christy said. “Studying abroad is just awesome.” Christy will go to Rome, Italy and back to Uganda this summer. She has applied for the dean’s leadership in food agricultural program. Rome is the headquarters for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

Designer talks fashion career during lecture By Miranda.Pollitt @iowastatedaily.com As a little boy, Ali Rahimi would travel around Paris and London with his mother while she shopped for couture. After being exposed to couture fashion at such a young age, Rahimi knew he wanted to pursue a career in fashion. Rahimi, creative designer behind Mon Atelier, is the guest designer at this year’s ISU Fashion Show. He spoke to students on Wednesday at 127 Curtiss Hall about his experiences in the industry. “I started the business because I wanted to do something different,” Rahimi said. After finishing boarding school in London at the age of 17, Rahimi came to America to pursue a career in fashion. Shortly after arriving in the United States, Rahimi was told by a teacher that one must learn all aspects of creating a garment to be a successful designer. At 17, this was a hard lesson

for Rahimi, but he took the advice seriously and began to learn the ins and outs of sewing. “I have no respect for anyone who wants to be a designer who doesn’t know every step that goes into it,” Rahimi said his teacher told him. He described that this teacher is still his biggest inspiration to this day. Lily Gasway, senior in biology, attended the lecture. Gasway said she was inspired by the journey Rahimi went through to become a designer. “It was really interesting to hear about his journey from only sketching and designing to sitting at a sewing machine for the first time,” Gasway said. Since then, Rahimi has made it his mission to master couture clothing, as he said, “couture has lost its meaning.” At Mon Atelier, the designers follow the same couture guidelines as couture houses in Paris. These strict guidelines make Mon Atelier garments true couture. Rahimi said some of

these guidelines include that at least 25 percent of the garment is hand sewn. Throughout the lecture, Rahimi told stories of gowns and pieces he created. Students said they felt inspired by how much work goes into these gowns. “We’ve never had someone of his caliber for the show,” said Lauryn Stromberg, The Fashion Show assistant producer and senior in apparel, merchandising and design. Stromberg described Mon Atelier as an internationally acclaimed couture designer. Rahimi has designed gowns for countless designers and for both TV shows and movies. Some of his most notable garments premiered in “Glee” and “Legally Blonde.” Gasway said she liked learning about the couture garments, as well as what Rahimi has done for pop culture. “I love learning about fashion as art and all of the detail that goes into couture clothing,” Gasway said.

Rahimi

In addition to having a passion about couture and garments in general, Rahimi is dedicated to teaching and educating students about the fashion industry. “When picking the guest designer, we wanted to come up with someone who wants to be actively involved in student learning,” said Delaney Eilts, assistant producer and senior in apparel, merchandising and design While at Iowa State, Rahimi said he wants to talk to as many students as possible. “[Rahimi and his partner] care just as much about our experience as their experience,” Eilts said. Rahimi will also be speaking at the Industry Circle event at 1 p.m. Saturday in LeBaron Hall.

Magazine hurts greeks, survivors

Keeping the

POOR

By Michael.Glawe @iowastatedaily.com

have been writing at the Daily for close to three years, and I’ve come to realize that the subject most dominating my writing concerns the fight against wealth inequality and poverty. It is not a subject easily compressed into an 800-word column, so my repeated attempts to explain the causes of perpetual poverty come as no surprise. This point perhaps emphasizes the danger of reducing the issue to simple explanations like “laziness” — a common procedure at least in the rhetoric spewed forth by some of our politicians. The fact is, a large composition of uneducated, self-centered and callous individuals has succeeded in establishing a pseudo-image of poor people in this country. We constantly hear talking heads drone on about how the United States has become a nation of “takers,” “moochers” and other oversimplified pejoratives. The real irony is the people who feel comfortable with reducing the issue of poverty down to feeble explanations are the ones who are too lazy to examine the evidence at hand. We have been inundated by shoddy theories based on shoddy evidence touted by politicians, demagogues and “news anchors” — quotations because Fox News Channel is hardly news — that leap from one inflated talking point to another. These are the same voices who exult the American Dream as if it were still a real thing. It’s not, and it hasn’t been for a long time. Of course, I shouldn’t expect our politicians to understand what poor people endure everyday. After all, most of our lawmakers are worth $1 million or more. The Kansas Legislature is the most recent body attempting to humiliate the poor. Recipients

who use welfare to feed their families and heat their homes are now being punished for spending money on “luxury” items. House Bill 813 prohibits food stamp recipients from using their benefits on “cookies, chips, energy drinks, soft drinks, seafood and steak.” Because people who receive less than $7 a day for food can really afford seafood and steak in the first place? This is the mark of pure and unrestrained hysteria. Consider another bill put forth by the Kansas Legislature, which attempts to defeat Reagan’s “welfare queens” once and for all: the provision prevents recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program from withdrawing more than $25 dollars a day and prohibits spending of benefits in numerous locations including cruise ships. First of all, most ATMs allow you to withdraw money in $10 and $20 increments, not in $5 increments, so this is essentially $20 a day. As Shannon Cotsoradis of Kansas Action for Children notes, on top of this limit, TANF applies an 85 cent fee, and then there’s the ATM fee of a couple dollars, so the real amount is less than $20 — kicking poor people while they’re already on the ground. Also, one fast quip, there is no evidence whatsoever that TANF benefits are being spent on cruise ships. The whole myopia of it all continues a false and gross narrative of the working poor and the inclusion of a cruise ship ban highlights gratuitous intentions. Sure, there are items and activities where the use of benefits should be prohibited, but there simply isn’t overwhelming evidence that this is a real problem. Poor people already live under horrible conditions in regard to their financial security, nutrition and health, but enter Senator Michael O’Donnell, a champion of House Bill 2258 detailed above, who says, “this is about prosperity. This is about having a great

down

life.” How unctuous and ingratiating this comment must feel for somebody who lives off of less than $7 a day every month. I’m sure it’s about having a “great life.” O’Donnell is only five years my senior, and, for the first time, I am willing to say provocatively and without respect that this man is an imbecile. I often hear the piffle-filled screech that there is a war waged against the rich. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the notion that we are a nation of “takers” is probably more precise when applied to the upper classes. Our government subsidizes private equities, hedge funds, beach homes, jets and yachts, bails out huge banks for their irresponsibility and doles out billions of dollars a year in subsidies to corporations. All of this should be unexpected, coming from the wealthiest Congress in our nation’s history. No one is arguing that food stamps aren’t misused sometimes, but that does not represent the majority of recipients and it ignores the unnecessary benefits given to the rich who certainly don’t require the help of our tax dollars. Where has the priority of our country gone when we direct the cause of poverty at the impoverished? As French economist Thomas Piketty notes in his book “Capital in the Twenty-First Century,” wealth has gradually become lodged in the top percentages of the income distribution, and due to our conception of the rich, as time passes, wealth will outpace economic growth. Basically, with our current policies, the rich will become richer and the poor poorer. This a consequence of a war on poor people, excessive exultation and adulation of the rich, and a complete rejection of evidence. It sounds like prosperity reserved only for the wealthy — an American dream for some Americans. Sounds like a “great life.”

Letter to the editor

Residence halls provide students benefits By Cole Staudt, sophomore, political science and public relations IRHA vice president I write this letter as a response to a letter sent in by Lauren Kuntz that was published on Friday. The Department of Residence (DOR) is most certainly doing what is right for students. Through my two years in IRHA, I have discovered some pretty great things about the residence halls. While I recognize Lauren’s point, a new residence hall is absolutely necessary for Iowa State. I agree, some of the residence hall spaces need upgrading and renovations. Fortunately, DOR has plans to do just that. These things are going to happen, they just take money. Well, why don’t we take the money from the new hall and put it toward the renovations? We cannot because the

Board of Regents issued loans specifically for a residence hall and will not issue them for renovations. That is the simple truth. Because the DOR is self-sustaining, every renovation is paid for by the students, no funding comes from the state or from the university. We do not want to raise housing rates a substantial amount to pay for desired renovations to happen all at once, they take time to get done and it can be frustrating. Happening this summer: elevator improvements in Barton, Freeman and Oak-Elm; finishing sprinkler installations in Friley; renovating corridors in Friley; improving the bathrooms in Buchanan; replacing the roof and windows and installing new flooring, lighting and paint in Freeman and Lyon; complete renovations of Larch, including wall resurfacing, new flooring, paint, furniture, elevators and lighting.

Happening next summer: new bathrooms, flooring, paint and lighting in Birch, Welch and Roberts; a new roof, window replacement, new bathrooms, flooring and paint in Barton. And the next year? New windows, bathrooms, flooring, paint and lights in Linden and Wallace, and updates to the Towers and MWL commons. I could go on for five years. The DOR has a plan and renovations are coming. Speaking to the point Lauren made about Legacy, DOR did not convert Legacy into dorms. Legacy is still owned by Campustown and DOR rents the entire building and places CA’s in the building. The students living in the 1,455 rented off-campus beds are paying less to live than they would if they were still privately operated in many cases. DOR pays the full rate, furnishes the apartment, pays the utilities and still gives students a cheaper rate. DOR is currently

losing some money on those offcampus leases, so we are trying to get those to break even and decrease the amount of spaces we lease off-campus. But how? Do we turn people away? If so, who do you want to turn away? Freshmen? Seniors? There is a reason people want to live with DOR and it’s an unparalleled experience where you find people to hang out with, find others to study with, join intramural teams and form friendships that last a lifetime. With that in mind, in order to accommodate more students and get residents out of the den spaces, we desperately need a new residence hall and are finally getting one. I appreciate Lauren writing her letter because it gave me an opportunity to say we know there are problems and are working to solve them but renovations cannot happen overnight. I can assure you, however, they are on their way.

The revelations that have become public knowledge following the debacle of Rolling Stone reporting on the alleged fraternity gang rape of a student named “Jackie” at the University of Virginia has shown the worst side of journalism. It has also set back the struggles of sexual assault survivors across the entire nation. Perhaps the largest threat to eliminating the sexual assault culture that does indeed exist on college campuses is to publish false or exaggerated stories about sexual assault. As it has become evident, this was the case in Rolling Stone’s publication of “Rape on Campus” last year. The Columbia School of Journalism recently released a report on Rolling Stone’s story, a report that Rolling Stone itself invited, that said the magazine’s “failure may have spread the idea that many women invent rape allegations.” If this speculation in the report is true, then the journalistic process — or the failing thereof in this circumstance — has let down both present and future sexual assault survivors. The story set out to illustrate the reality of dangers of sexual assaults on campus and advance advocacy efforts for sexual assault survivors, as well as sexual assault prevention programs, but instead they have hindered any such efforts. Hopefully not for long, but the ability for survivors to have their stories heard and believed has certainly moved in reverse. It is also worth noting the greek system and one fraternity chapter in particular, Phi Kappa Psi, came under heavy fire and was the subject of far more scrutiny than it deserved. The entire greek institution was indicted at times as a result of this story. Even while a member of Iowa State’s greek system has had it’s own allegations of sexual assault this year, it is especially important to remember that each chapter — and by extension, each member — should be judged individually, by their own merits, just as it would be the case in any other attempt to prove guilt or apply blame. Accordingly, the University of Virginia Phi Kappa Psi chapter is planning to “pursue all available legal actions against the magazine,” as is their right. If the assertion is that the fraternity chapter was libeled by Rolling Stone and had its reputation tarnished, then it’s hard to formulate a counterargument as it appears the facts became of secondary importance, taking a backseat as increased readership became the priority. Rolling Stone and the author of “Rape on Campus,” Sabrina Rubin Erdely, have since apologized and taken responsibility for any damage the story may have done or will do in the future for the struggles of sexual assault survivors. Erdely herself said she does not want her errors in reporting the story to “silence the voices of victims that need to be heard.” The words “too little, too late,” seem apt for this apology. This editorial board only hopes the damage can be reversed, and swiftly.

Senior Caroline Hauge Andersen prepares to hit the ball during practice on Tuesday. Andersen will return home to Norway to work for an advertising company after she graduates at the end of this year.

Three seniors, four memorable seasons By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com With four years of tennis coming to a close and only graduation separating them from the end of their ISU careers, the three seniors on the ISU tennis team are able to reflect on their careers at Iowa State. Seniors Meghan Cassens, Ksenia Pronina and Caroline Hauge Andersen have been teammates and friends since the first day of practice their freshman year. This friendship has only grown since that moment, and with graduation upcoming, the three of them looked back on the ups and downs in their four-year career. “If it wasn’t for Meghan [Cassens] and Ksenia [Pronina], I wouldn’t be at Iowa State playing tennis after

my freshman year,” Andersen said. “It was a long and rocky obstacle for me that led to many injuries.” Andersen faced a bone spur injury from the end of her freshman year to the beginning of her sophomore year. This injury hurt her playing chances until this current season, which she has consistently played No. 3 doubles. Cassens and Pronina, however, avoided any injuries in their first year and were able to contribute to the team right away. Cassens played No. 4 singles and Pronina played No. 2 singles on a consistent basis. Even though Andersen was facing injuries, Cassens and Pronina always made sure to get her in the loop. “These unexpected events like injuries always happen and it’s nice to

have two teammates you can lean back on,” said ISU coach Armando Espinosa. “Meghan, Caroline and Ksenia have had each others’ backs since they stepped foot on campus their freshman year.” All three seniors have faced their share of challenges, but the support given has made it a great four years at Iowa State. With four years comes many memories and there are a few that stand out for the three of them. “I’ll always remember the road trips to different matches and the long discussions off the court,” Cassens said. “I’ve been able to understand them as a person and not only a player.” Espinosa said he’s been able to understand them on a personal level instead of just as players.

He commends their effort and leadership on and off the court as well as having the positive energy a tennis team needs throughout the season. Espinosa also said he thinks a big part of this season’s successes has come from the leadership of the three seniors. They are leading by example by winning big singles matches against top ranked teams in the Big 12 and helping the younger players learn their game and incorporate it into matches. The three seniors hope they’ve taught the younger players how to play ISU tennis and to think of this sport as a team and not an individual. Andersen said you will win more matches if you’re thinking of the team and not your individual matches.

“With this being our last year together, we’ve been trying to hang out and talk more often,” Cassens said. “After this year, we’re not sure when we’ll see each other in the future.” After graduation, the three seniors will spilt off to different countries. Cassens will spend her summer traveling in Europe and then go home to Seattle to find a job in business. While she’s finding a job, she hopes to work as a coach for a local tennis academy. Pronina will stay at Iowa State for one more semester to finish up her marketing degree. As for working with Espinosa next semester, she’s still not sure and will decide this summer. Andersen is going back home to her country, Norway, to work for an adver-

tising company. She hopes to come back to the United States on occasion to see friends and Iowa State. As for their four years playing college tennis, the three players can sum it up in four words: indescribable, perseverance and learning experience. The three seniors have had to work hard and overcome many obstacles to get to where they are today. They’ve learned not only the game of tennis, but the people they shared the game of tennis with and it’s created a memorable four years at Iowa State. “Looking back at my four years, I wouldn’t have changed anything because it was a great experience,” Pronina said. “We’re not done yet because we still have a Big 12 championship to compete for and our focus is on that.”

Gymnasts develop relationships as team, family By Brittany.Mease @iowastatedaily.com ISU gymnastics is known for its high energy meets, but what happens out of the spotlight to make it happen? It’s more than just routines for the Cyclones, it’s about creating a bond between one another that continues outside of the gym. “They get along extremely well, especially for a group of sixteen young ladies who are around each other all the time,” said ISU coach Jay Ronayne. Though they spend hours a day practicing with each other, the gymnasts spend much of their free time together as well. From team dinners to getting manicures and ped-

icures, the girls are hardly apart. “We hang out all the time,” said freshman Haylee Young. “Honestly, any time we’re together is fun. There’s not really anything that bonds us more because we’re already so

close and we click well together.” This closeness is the result of the culture the ISU gymnastics program strives for. After each performance, the gymnasts on the team rushes to support

their teammate, regardless if it was a perfect routine or if it had its faults. This support is something each member feeds off and the confidence the team radiates impacts each routine. “That’s the culture we

try to foster,” Ronayne said. “Nobody messes up on purpose, they’re all in the same thing and everyone has the same goals and I know they completely understand that, so they treat it that way. Everyone wants what’s best for the team, so if someone does poorly then they’re very supportive, but they’re encouraged to challenge each other to be better than what they currently are.”Despite the individual nature of gymnastics, a team relationship is a key component in a successful meet. Without the pressure to do well for the team, as well as the support of the girls behind them, gymnastics would be a much more difficult sport for Iowa State. “When you know that

you have the support of other girls, who knows what you’re capable of?” said junior Sammie Pearsall. “It really helps when you’re struggling and in times of doubt because [you can’t] always just rely on yourself, you have to be able to rely on others for support and get you through the tough times because you’re not always going to be doing perfect routines.” And when spectators come to watch the Cy clones compete at Hilton, they’re not just watching a group of teammates compete — they’re watching a family. “I describe [their relationship] like sisters,” Ronayne said. “There are times where sisters battle it out, but they love each other.”

Runners focus on keeping clear minds to start races By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com Kris Brander sticks his headphones in his ear. He blares music, any music, it doesn’t matter. Through the music, he hears the announcer call runners to the track for the 400-meter hurdle event. As he walks to the starting blocks, he feels his heart beat faster and faster. Maybe he got a little too psyched up. “Deep breath,” he thinks to himself. He takes a few jumps in the air, pulling his ankles up to his thighs in a “V” shape. Five deep breaths followed by a quick shake of his arms and legs to loosen up his tense muscles and he feels it — the zone. The place where he is in perfect harmony between being too pumped up and too mellow. It’s just right. “On your mark,” the announcer says. As he puts his feet into the blocks, his mind goes blank. He lifts his body up while still keeping loose. “Get set.” He tightens up, like a spring, so he can start like one — attacking the track ahead of him with force. The gun fires. For short-distance runners, the start of a race is something they work on time and time again. It can mean the difference between a first place finish or a finish near the back of the pack. “It’s extremely important just because your start sets up the rest of your race,” said ISU sprinter Jared Ingram. “It’s really hard to run and run competitively when you’re trying to come from behind. So being able to get out in front or with everybody else makes a huge difference.” As a runners start a race, it can be a lot more than just technical movements. The mental side of the race can’t help but creep into the runners’ mind, and the one thing that a runner doesn’t want to be doing during a race is over-thinking. But for some runners,

a good start can give them the right mindset to have a successful race. “If someone starts out in front in the shorten sprints quickly and are in first or are in the mix early, it tends to give them more confidence and then the rest of the race tends to fall in place because they are okay,” said ISU sprinting coach Glenn Smith. “If they screw up there, it can cause a lot of insecurities to cause them to do things they shouldn’t be doing during the race.” Starting a race isn’t all it seems on the surface. Coaches and athletes alike stress the importance of setting the body up before the race to have the best possible start. Just one twitch or false movement can get a runner disqualified or started in a bad way. When the gun goes off, there isn’t time to think about mechanics. “We talk a lot about how to get thinking in the right mindset to react to the gun,” Smith said. “That’s a process where we talk about what to think about and there’s a lot of little tricks that go into it just about what to think about, what movements to think about to cause the right start to happen for that individual.” At first glance, a block start can look like the same for every type of race. But starts for sprinters and hurdlers are different in the focus and technical aspects. For sprinters, the start of the race has a large effect on the rest of the race. Smith said that the runner that can reach the top maximum speed has the best shot of winning the race. Runners can’t hit that point unless they are able to have a strong and powerful start. Hurdlers focus more on the first hurdle and, while getting a strong and fast start, the footwork leading up to it. The key in hurdles it to settle into a comfortable stride pattern to get the correct leg leading up to the hurdle to put the runner in the best possible position to jump over the hurdle. Without the proper footwork, it can be a struggle for the hurdler to recover.

Sprinter and hurdler results at last week’s Tiger Track Classic 110-meter hurdles: 9th place, Logan Schneider, 14.67 seconds. 11th place, Taylor Sanderson, 14.77 seconds. 100 meter: 21st place, Mark Sitek, 10.85 seconds. 25th Jared Ingram, 11.01 seconds. 28th place, Logan Schneider, 11.10 seconds. 200 meter: 13th place, Mark Sitek, 21.65 seconds. 26th place, Jared Ingram, 22.04 seconds. 35th place, Jacob Hoogensen, 22.97 seconds. 400-meter hurdles: 4th place, Derek Jones, 53.59 seconds. 8th place, Kris Brander, 55.62 seconds. 10th place, Trey Achterhoff, 55.84 seconds. “If you’re not feeling good and not in your stride halfway to the first hurdle, you’re not going to go over well,” Brander said. “You’re probably not going to hit your leg right, so really the start is really what makes your race.” But when it comes down to it, the over-thinking aspect has the possibility to crawl into runners’ brain. So when they have to focus on the start, it comes down to instincts and training, not thinking. In fact, some runners have a special way to rid themselves of thinking just a little too much. “I like to keep my mind blank,” Ingram said. “And just wait for the sound of that gun.”

Junior Jared Ingram competes in the 4x200-meter relay finals at the Drake Relays on April 25, 2014. Ingram said the start of a race is “extremely important” because it sets up the remainder of the race.

30DailyDates.com HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP ADVICE: Love is precious, so is time By Emily.Barske @iowastatedaily.com Dating is a time commitment, and like any other time commitment, it requires scheduling and planning. Selecting a set time to be with your significant other allows you to grow in your relationship while also managing time for other priorities. Whether you prefer to schedule every minute of your day, like Daily Dater Michelle, or only plan for big things like Brenton, each cou-

ple should figure out what type of scheduling works for both of their styles. “I am a very scheduleoriented person,” Michelle said, as Brenton grinned in agreement. “That was really important for us because you’ve got to make the time, and if I didn’t have it written down, it probably wasn’t going to get done. In the beginning, we planned out times that worked out best for us.” While real-life relationships may be more flexible than having to plan out an

Video JOURNALs: How has scheduling your time together been? Michelle: “It takes a lot of time to make a relationship work, and I’ve realized that’s kind of where I’ve been struggling in the past. I’ve always been focusing more on my school work, my other activities, and I’ve realized that it takes just as much time to put into that as what you put into school if you want to make something work. It’s important to go on bigger dates — go out to dinner every once in awhile — but I don’t think it [scheduling] is as necessary for the little things. And I think the little things kind of build the relationship.” Brenton: “Finding time’s been kind of difficult just because of our busy schedules. So it’s been fairly hectic to fit in at least 30 minutes a day. Having it planned out was a lot less hectic than just going at it freestyle.” How much time should be planned with your significant other?

entire month at once, it is still important to uphold your end of the bargain and schedule time for your significant other. “All the bigger dinners we definitely planned out, so you can allot yourself enough time to talk and be able to have a nice dinner for a lengthy amount of time and to not feel like you’re in a rush,” Brenton said. How did planning 30 dates in 30 days work out for two college students? Find out below.

Michelle & Brenton

Michelle: “You should be able to plan out at least a couple days in advance. That way you don’t get to a week in a row where you say you don’t have time, cause there’s always a little bit of time, at least, that you can make time for another person.” Brenton: “To an extent try to plan things out, like the big things, but other than that, go with the flow.” What is your advice for planning time to spend with a significant other? Michelle: “We go to lunch a lot. So you have half a day of classes and then you get to go to lunch with somebody and talk and relax. It’s kind of just a nice break.” Brenton: “If you can’t meet up with them every day, make sure you still have them associated in your daily life in some way—even if it’s not physically right in front of each other. Whether it be a phone call or text, you’re checking in and making sure they know they’re not being forgotten.”

Relationships are wonderful, but you can have too many of them to manage. My father believed that each of us are designed to manage five relationship categories — faith, spouse/ Guest column: par tner, best Jeff Johnson, friend, children President and CEO of the ISU and parents/inAlumni Association laws/siblings. All other relationships are simply encounters. To make the five work, they each deserve a plan and a schedule. Plus you have to keep them in order. This is how my father helped me organize these relationships in my life. Faith is important to me, as it speaks to my eternity. I try to spend time with God daily. I encounter Him multiple times throughout my day through prayer, quiet time, reflection, meditation, Bible reading, conversations and sharing. Second is my wife. Our relationship is built on our vows, which speak to a commitment of “until death do we part.” We have an appointment on my calendar for us to dine for an hour and a half every week on Wednesdays. It is our time to communicate about our hurts, disappointments, successes, failures and schedules. Third is my best friend, Lawrence Joiner. He lives in Tulsa, Okla. We met in college and were best men in each other’s weddings. Lawrence and I don’t keep score regarding our communications or visits, but we get together at least twice a year, face to face. We simply know we are there for each other. No plane ticket is ever too expensive, an appointment too important, or a request too big when it comes to him needing me or me needing him. My two children, as shared in scripture, will one day leave us to cleave to their spouses/partners. Knowing this, we were committed to how we taught, loved and nurtured them. Now that they are on their own, we ask if we can come over or if they want to get together. We don’t just assume they do. Then there are my parents and in-laws. They have their homes and their own relationships to manage. It’s important to us that we never do things with them out of obligation. Annual get-togethers and scheduled calls have become our strategy. Everyone else (co-workers, colleagues, students, new people I meet, Iowa State alumni and fans, etc.) is an acquaintance. I love them all dearly, and I willingly serve them and treat them all fairly. But I don’t give them my life like I give it to the five groups listed above. Keeping this in perspective has really helped me not spread my life too thin and kept my calendar open for the key relationships that matter to me.

Ryan Young/Iowa State Daily

The cast of Les Misérables surrounds Thenardier, played by Christopher Kent, senior in performing arts, during a rehearsal Tuesday. The opening performance of Les Misérables will take place at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Fisher Theater.

Students prepare for opening of Les Misérables play at ISU By Haley.Brase @iowastatedaily.com Feeling helpless and lost, searching for a way out to finally feel the sunlight of redemption graze upon one’s face. To be snatched away from the light can only lead to more determination and hope to achieve the goal of freedom. Les Misérables will play at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday, April 17 and 18 and at 2 p.m. Sunday and April 19 at Fisher Theater. Jean Valjean, played by Evan Stenzel, who gradu-

ated last December in vocal performance, is in jail for stealing a piece of bread. After escaping, he meets Fantine, played by Kourtney Richards, senior in performing arts, who had a child with a man who she was not married to. Filled with instant regret, Fantine is fired after her co-workers at the factory find out about her illegitimate child and is forced into prostitution to provide a paycheck to a family taking care of her daughter. Once she fell sick, laying on her death bed, her wish was to see her daughter.

Valjean said he would retrieve her from the family she entrusted her child with. After her untimely death, Fantine’s daughter, Cosette, played by Grace Chermak, junior in vocal music education, is orphaned. Cosette only trusts Valjean, who took her from the foul house of abusive care takers. Trying to find a sense of life and belonging, Valjean tries to raise Cosette with care after being reminded of his past imprisonment. Valjean’s love for Co-

sette’s mother resonates within Cosette herself as he treats her as his own daughter, only wanting a fulfilled life of love and success, instead of the misdemeanors her parents lived by. Brad Dell, director and assistant professor of music and theatre, listens to his actor’s advice and gives directions in a friendly tone of demand. “He’s awesome,” said Elena Foster, freshman in elementary education, who is a part of the women ensemble. “It’s so nice having such a positive director with constructive criticism

that you actually feel like it’s helping you as a performer.” According to Foster, she is not only pleased with her director, she is happily surprised by the cast and their problem solving abilities, as well as the talents they possess. Actors’ voices resonate with confidence as they cross a creatively produced jungle gym of a stage. Their voices boom with urgency and a need to be heard for the perseverance of Valjean raising Cosette to live proudly, and not hide timidly. “It’s a show that re-

volves around change,” Foster said. “There’s love and there’s sad parts about life, but in the end your love for your friends and family is really the important thing in life.” Valjean and Cosette are not blood related, but Valjean left a life of imprisonment behind him in order to change into the father figure Corsette desperately needed. Tickets are $24 for adults and seniors and $16 for students. Tickets can be bought through Iowa State Center Ticket Office in Ames or www.ticketmaster.com.

WAR p1 “If the South tore up some railroad tracks, Dodge was right there rebuilding them, but he also had another role. He headed a spy operation for Grant, and quite a colorful one at that,” said Tom Morain, director of government relations at Grantland University and former administrator for the state historical society. Dodge utilized human intelligence from runaway slaves, female spies and unionists living in Confederate territory. The network included more than 100 operators and was shrouded in so much secrecy their names remain mostly unknown to this day. Morain said Dodge is also credited with convincing Lincoln to make Council Bluffs and Omaha the eastern hub of the the transcontinental railroad. Sarah “Annie” Turner Wittenmyer Annie Wittenmyer made her way to Keokuk, Iowa in 1850 at the age of 20 and opened a school for underage children. During the war, she cared for Union soldiers, eventually joining the Keokuk Ladies’ Soldiers’ Aid Society. Wittenmyer is credited with helping to improve conditions for soldiers throughout the Union. “Back in those the army supplies and field hospitals were pretty retched and she took it upon herself to organize Iowa women to send food, blankets and materials to Union Army hospitals,” Morain said. After being appointed president of the Iowa State

GSB p1 didates were not qualified. “Crawford won’t micromanage us,” Gaura said. “He knows the rules better than anyone I know. If he doesn’t know it, he’ll go look it up.” Nygard was runner up, receiving seven of the final votes. Sen. Cole Button argued the speaker’s duty is

Sanitary Commission, Wittenmyer faced pushback from the all-male Iowa Army Sanitary Commission, successfully defending themselves from accusations of mismanagement. By war’s end, the maledominated army medical department incorporated Wittenmyer’s ideas about sanitation and nutritional ideas in their hospitals. A New Identity When Iowa became a state in 1846, it was still on the frontier of America. There were no true Iowans living there, other than the Native Americans who had managed to hold onto their land. “My theory is one of the things that the Civil War did to Iowa was to give it an identity as a state,” Thompson said. “Before the civil war most Iowans were from someplace else. Organizing into volunteer units with friends, relatives [and] neighbors — all fighting together in the same unit was a bonding thing.” The soldiers’ and state’s new identity was evident in the formation of the Grand Army of the Republic veterans organization. The GAR became a powerful political entity in Iowa. “The GAR, was like the American Legion of today, only much stronger,” Morain said. After the Civil War, Iowa became a Republican stronghold. The Republican Party was the party of Lincoln, and Union veterans considered themselves part of Lincoln’s army. The GAR held an office in the Iowa Statehouse until about 1950, Thompson said. The Republican Party of the

19th century is considered the more liberal of the two major parties. “All of that played into the Republicans ability to tar Democrats as the party of the South.” When veterans returned home from the battlefield they had formed an identity and reputation as Iowans, but the identities of the wives they returned to had often changed as well. While the men were away fighting, women were forced into unfamiliar roles. Many women became managers of their farms or businesses in addition to their families. Teachers before the Civil War were heavily male, but afterward the profession became dominated by women. Morain said that eventually women won the right to vote as a result of the changing roles women played during the war. “There was a movement and it was gaining strength through the 1870s

to extend the vote for women also,” Morain said. “The expansion of the franchise, first for black males and eventually for females was another development that came out of the war.” Black males age 21 and older were granted the right to vote in Iowa in 1868. Carrying On The Memory In addition to becoming an officer in the 168th Iowa Infantry Regiment upon graduation and a historian, Michael Hoskins loves nothing more than to spend a weekend reenacting Civil War battles. “The Civil War was always something that was very interesting to me growing up,” Hoskins said. “My Sunday school teacher actually turned me onto it. I was like, I wanna do that.” Hoskins is part of the 15th Iowa Volunteers, a representation of the original regiment. When he participates in a reenactment, he may feel at least a little bit like, Jesse Middleton, his

great-great-great grandfather, who served in the 3rd Iowa Regiment in the Civil War. “For me, if I can get that snippet of where I can forget everything else — the cars, the people in the parking lot and for just a moment say, OK, this is what it was like — that’s great,” Hoskins said. “Minus bullets flying and people dying around you.” In Memoriam As we look back 150 years on the ending of a war pitting countrymen against countrymen and brother against brother, the cause and motivation can still be a point of confusion. “The reasons for the war are not as simple and straight forward as others have portrayed them,” said Kathleen Hilliard, associate professor of history. “It wasn’t simply a matter of slavery or state rights.” Hilliard said the Union did not originally go to war to end slavery, but to preserve the Union. As the war

continued, the reasons for fighting became more complex. “After the Emancipation Proclamation the meaning changes a bit,” Hilliard said. “There is sort of a larger moral purpose to Union efforts that takes time to take hold.” The Emancipation Proclamation, along with the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution are probably the most important things to come out of the Civil War, Hilliard said. “Establishing those amendments means that African Americans and Americans broadly are asking this country to live up to the constitution,” Hilliard said. “Whether we are talking about northern or southern people, white or black, the civil war required a new way of thinking about the country, and I think it raised expectations for the country and those expectations have not fully been met yet.”

to chair Rules Committee and Nygard has had experience in that area. Gaura argued against voting for Nygard, saying she was too soft-spoken. Some senators were concerned with the fact that Marlenee would graduate a semester early, and therefore, he would be unable to complete their term in office. Some senators sup-

ported Leidahl, but others argued she was not active enough in Senate meetings. Sen. Robert Dunn argued that Leidahl is listening and gathering information and is also a very direct and a very firm communicator. Senators elected Michael Snook as vice speaker of the Senate. Snook was elected after a vote of 20-14.

The nominations for vice speaker were David Moore, Nygard, Snook and Cole Staudt. Several senators were concerned that it was Staudt’s first year in the Senate. Sen. Charles Faunce said he believes it would be difficult for Staudt to be vice speaker in his first year. Guenther pointed out

that this was the second highest ranking position in the Senate. “If something were to happen to Speaker Crawford, the vice speaker would have to take over,” Guenther said. “Staudt is by no means qualified.” Some senators also supported Snook’s appointment. Former Sen. Richard Hartnett urged the Senate to select Snook.

“I worried that we’re saying we should elect someone who’s eager,” Hartnett said. “We need to elect someone who has a strong knowledge of the rules. The vice speaker is important in ensuring the Senate runs smoothly. I think Snook is definitely going to be your best choice.” Snook was elected as vice speaker after receiving the majority vote of 20-14.

Approximately 79,000 Iowans volunteered service throughout the Civil War. Of that group, 13,000 never returned home. Thursday marks the 150th anniversary of the surrender at Appomattox Court House in Virginia ending the war between Union and Confederate soldiers.
