From China to the Midwest, family finds home at ISU

BY WHITNEY.MASON @iowastatedaily.com In 1950, Homer Minjen Chen had a decision to make. Going back to his native country of China was not an option, however attending college in the United States was.

All Chen did next was randomly select the middle portion of the United States as the Midwest was the location of where he would attend college.

COURTESY OF MELINDA CHEN

Homer Chen was born in 1928 in Beijing, the capital of China. The oldest of five children, he and his siblings grew up in Guilin, the southern city known for the distinct landscape of limestone hills. His father served as a diplomat in Panama for the Chinese National Government under Chiang Kai Shek.

Ac c o rd i n g t o Tao Wa n g, assistant professor in history in Iowa State, Kai Shek came to leadership in 1920 with the intention of combining traditional Chinese and Western values.

Wang said Kai Shek was referred as the father of modern China and the country itself looked to Japan as a model for successful modernization. Kai Shek’s views faced opposition from the growing Communist Party, which lead to

war in 1927.

Along with those that opposed communism, Japan, under militarism control, invaded China in 1937, setting up occupation in the northeast part of the country.

Chen and his family, living in the southern part of the country, were unaffected until 1944, when the Japanese occupation spread to the southern coastal cities.

As the Japanese came closer to Guilin, Homer Chen and his brother knew they had to leave.

Chen’s daughter, Melinda Chen, recalled he told her they could hear the Japanese coming from the top of the hills.

Homer Chen and his brother departed the country and escaped to Panama to reunite with their father.

stayed in the Panama Canal and learned Spanish as he finished his secondary education.

After completing his education in Panama, Homer wanted to return to China. When he learned that his mother and other brother were thrown into concentration camps in China due to their status, he knew it wasn’t an option.

Homer Chen decided to look into the United States for his college degree.

“He thought the middle of the country was good for him,” Melinda Chen said.

Katrina Choong, senior in electrical engineering and Homer Chen’s granddaughter, said her grandfather thought he would not have any distractions in the

Tuition hikes for Iowa State and the University of Iowa passed through first reading unanimously at the Board of Regents special meeting Wednesday.

The approved tuition increases would raise Iowa State resident undergraduate tuition by $302 or 3.9 percent. For non-resident undergraduates this number is $1,086, or a 4.9 percent increase.

Iowa State resident and nonresident graduate students will see an increase in tuition of 4.9 percent if passed again in the board’s June meeting. This increase constitutes a $456 tuition increase for resident graduate students and $1,156 for non-resident graduate students.

“No one is thrilled to be having this discussion once again on the tuition increase proposals,” said Austin Graber, Iowa State student body president at the telophonic meeting. “These discussions and these meetings are happening too often.”

Graber said he reviewed the statement provided by former student body president Julian Neely to the regents on tuition one year ago, and that the narrative between those years had not changed. Graber pointed to this trend of increasing tuition as problematic.

The board originally proposed a $7 million increase to Iowa State, contingent on the Republican-led state Legislature fully funding the Governor and Board of Regents request of

Des Moines Art Center to host queer art exhibit

BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com The Des Moines Art Center will be opening a solely LGBTQIA+ art exhibit named Queer Abstraction f rom 7 t o 1 0 p. m . on J u n e 1 .

LGBTQIA+ identifying artists and performers, working solo or collaboratively, are able to submit a proposal for one of two pop-up art experiences.

This show is the first in the Art Center’s 70-year history to focus exclusively on LGBTQIA+ art and artists. The event is free and anyone

is able to attend.

The first experience, an interactive art activity, will get artists and attendees involved in art together.

“The activity could focus on the creation of an object, an experience, a performance, or an adornment,” according to the Des Moines Art Center website. “Examples would be something guests can create to take home, an activity centered on self-care/art therapy, an activity performative in nature or it could be something guests can wear such as temporary tattoos, buttons/pins

or make-up.”

Two to three proposals will be selected and each artist selected will be awarded a total honorarium of $150.

The second experience, a pop-up installation, will create an immersive pop-up installation for guests to commemorate their experience.

“Guests will be encouraged to take photographs and selfies in the pop-up space and share their images on social media,” according to the Des Moines Art Center website.

One ar tist proposal wil l be selected and the artist selected will be awarded a total honorarium of $300.

To enter in this exhibition, artists need to identify within the LGBTQIA+ community, must be located in Iowa and the art piece must be original in nature and comply with the themes of Queer Abstraction.

Rules for submissions state that no loose glitter is permitted, all exhibits must be temporar y in nature, any supplies or tools that will leave a film or residue

behind are not permitted and any modifications made after the original proposal must be approved

by Art Center staff.

S ubmissions will be chosen based on the creative use of theme, quality of visual proposal, the ability to show how the proposed idea will coordinate with the overall event and if it demonstrates of effective use of reasources.

E n t r i e s mu s t b e s u bm i t t e d digitally to the Des Moines Art Center by May 9. Artists selected to participate will be notified by May 13.

Finding community through creativity Exploring the furry community at Iowa State

Taylor said that seeing art from the other aspects of the furry community drew him into the rest of the community.

“Bronies are kind of what got me in, they’re very similar except bronies focus on one thing,” Taylor said.

BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com

EXPERIENCE IN THE IOWA STATE COMMUNITY

The furry community is oftentimes something brought up with a cringe afterward or as a joke, but in reality, the furry community is just like any other community at Iowa State.

“The term furry describes a diverse community of fans, artists, writers, gamers and role players,” according to furscience.com. “Most furries create for themselves an anthropomorphized animal character, called a fursona or sona, with whom they identify and can function as an avatar within the community. Some furries wear elaborate costumes or paraphernalia such as animal ears or tails, or represent themselves as anthropomorphic animals in online communities.”

Also according to furscience.com, more than 75 percent of furries are under the age of 25. Approximately 84 percent of furries identify as male, 13 percent female, and 2.5 percent are transgender. Approximately onethird identify as exclusively heterosexual and furries are about five times more likely to identify as exclusively homosexual than the general population.

At Iowa State, and in Ames, the furry community is not extremely obvious but has close to 20 members according to Odin Taylor, a sophomore in materials engineering.

Taylor said the community is heavily online, but they do plan get-togethers, and they usually go out as a group on Halloween.

Currently, there is no official student organization for the furry community at Iowa State.

ENTERING THE COMMUNITY “My brother is a very avid artist, so when we were younger he would always draw anthropomorphic animals,” said Braeden Winters, junior in meteorology. “I started going online looking into the anthropomorphic art, and I stumbled across the furry community.”

Anthropomorphic art is any art that centers on adding human features to things often not having them, in the case of the furry community this is often animals.

Harley Butler, freshman in civil engineering said entering the community was slow for him, but having friends already in the community helped him.

“I knew what the community was in middle school and high school by meeting members of the community through online games,” Butler said “As time went on I kinda got into it and then I wrote a story and I was like OK this is me.”

“I started off not too into the community but since then I have found lots of friends both back home and here on campus,” Winters said.

Winters said he has been to two conventions, Central Plains Fur Con and Midwest Furfest, and that they are just like any other conference with panels and speakers except with a lot more time spent chatting and taking pictures of people in fursuits.

“I am pretty open about being a furry and all my friends have been accepting and I feel lucky to not have experienced any negativity on campus,” Winters said.

Butler said though his beginning in the community was largely online and he didn’t know many people, his experience at Iowa State has been great and everyone is friendly.

“There were a lot more people within the community here and it is really nice to have this connection with other people,” Butler said Taylor said the number of furries at Iowa State surprised him and that he found the community first online.

“The community is kind of like an escape from real life,” Taylor said.

BACKLASH AND STEREOTYPES Taylor said a lot of the reasons for backlash is due to stereotyping around sex and cringe culture.

“I don’t really know any of the history before coming here myself, but we haven’t really experienced anything besides our Reddit post being downvoted heavily,” Taylor said.

Winters said he has only experienced minor backlash online, but it was mostly from people who didn’t know much about the community.

“There is definitely a lot of negativity toward the furry community, but I do think it is getting better,” Winters said.

FURSONAS A fursona is not just how a person dresses or looks it is a characterization that a person creates and embodies, similar to cosplay. “[Fursonas] can be different for different people,” Taylor said. “For some people their sona is essentially them but in an animal form that walks on two legs. Other people have an alter ego as a way to get away from real life and show traits they wish to have. Some people have multiple sonas, where they create different characters that aren’t really similar to themselves.”

Taylor said his fursona, a navy blue and light grey wolf, is similar to him but a bit cooler and

without anxiety.

Winters said his fursona’s character is half what he sees in himself and half what he aspires to be, such as personality and looks.

“My sona’s name is Arkenta, or Ark for short, and he’s an Australian Shepherd,” Winters said. “He used to be a wolf but I changed that to be a little bit more unique.”

Butler said his fursona started out as an altered version of a video game character that he had in his original story, that he later evolved and altered into what it is today. His fursona is more a reflection of himself to make it easier for writing.

“My sona is about my height and is kind of

an anthropomorphized tuatara, I didn’t want something that was super flashy,” Butler said.

ART IN THE COMMUNITY Winters said he is interested in getting into more drawing but mainly focuses on photography, with opportunities at conventions and with the Ames furry community.

Butler said he mainly writes stories and does writing commissions for other members of the community.

“I can’t draw or anything so for me it is really satisfying for me to see my sona drawn out by people who are far more talented than I am,” Butler said.

Homer Chen began applying to schools in August 1950. Iowa State ended up being the first school to grant him admission.

When it came to academics, he was unsure of what area he should study.

Eventually someone suggested civil engineering.

For Homer Chen, the biggest challenge for him during his time at Iowa State was the language barrier. He was fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese and Spanish, but couldn’t speak much English and was learning the language simultaneously with his studies at the university.

He would find a universal language with his peers through mathematics.

While there were not many other Chinese students on campus in the early 1950s, Homer Chen said the people on campus were nice to him.

Students would invite him home during breaks and taught him the traditions of American holidays.

“People were fascinated because he looked different, [and had] with [him] different customs,” Melinda Chen said. “He felt very welcomed.”

Homer Chen graduated in 1953 from Iowa State with his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. He was prepared to begin his time in the workforce working for the Illinois Department of Transportation in Springfield, Illinois.

He just needed to get to Springfield.

Homer Chen said he approached then-Iowa State president Charles Friley for financial assistance. The assistance was granted and Friley gave him $100 on the promise that Homer Chen would pay him back with his paycheck.

And he did just that.

Homer Chen enjoyed his stay in the state capital, but found company in the form of a pen pal thousands

The producers for next years show will start their new roles immediately.

“I think [the designs] are all awesome.

I think the fact that they are created by students makes it even more awesome,” said graduate assistant Dyese Matthews, who helped put the exhibit together for the Textiles and Clothing Museum. “I am excited for everyone to be able to see them up close especially, because it is hard during the show.”

People continued to fill the galler y, admiring the winning pieces and signing the guest book placed at the front of the room.

“It’s really awesome to see the intricate details and see the garments close and personal,” said Kennedy Kramer, senior in apparel, merchandising and design.

There was also a drawing attendees could enter for a chance to win multiple prizes including The Fashion Show merchandise and gift cards to a variety of places.

The exhibit of The Fashion Show 2019 winning garments will be open for public viewing in the Mary Alice Gallery at the Textiles Clothing Museum in Morrill Hall from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. until June 28.

After June 28, visits can only be made by appointment until July 26.

of miles away in the small country of Costa Rica. America Sanchez and her family had left China for business ventures in Costa Rica.

They even changed their last name to Sanchez to reflect the new country they embraced as home.

Sanchez started off as Homer Chen’s pen pal, but after meeting with him in Chicago along with her mother and brother, proposed marriage, and the two were married as the end of their visit approached.

The two moved to Rockville, Maryland in 1955 and welcomed three children: Melinda, Jose and Eduardo Chen.

For Melinda Chen, she was aware of her father’s alma mater from a young age. She remembered her father constantly wearing his red and gold college ring.

“Me and my brother would play with [his ring],” Melinda Chen said.

Her father’s ring reminded her of another frequent ring-wearer she had seen: the cartoon character, Hercules.

The character had a ring that he would wear to generate his strength.

She declared to her father that just like him, she too would attend Iowa State.

“He didn’t want me to go so far away from home,” Melinda Chen said.

Melinda Chen initially turned down her spot at Iowa State and intended to attend Duke University in North Carolina, which was still five hours away from her home.

Melinda Chen ended up having second thoughts about her decision and decided her dad’s desires for her to be close shouldn’t be the center point in her college decision.

“I ended up asking Iowa State if I could still attend,” Melinda Chen said, decommitting from Duke. “[Iowa State] didn’t have any dorm space, so I got put in this large space [in one of the dorms in Richardson

She said she was not the only one placed in the holding area, but said it was difficult to make friends due to people leaving the space as rooms became available in dorms.

Melinda Chen had always had an interests in the sciences. She declared as a biophysics major, but later switched to bacteriology, which is now referred to as microbiology.

Both father and daughter felt welcomed on campus, despite decades between their experiences. Melinda Chen’s was excited to see a Chinese Student Association on campus. But once getting involved, she didn’t feel as included within the organization as she wanted.

“I was what you call ‘ABC,’ American-born Chinese,” Melinda Chen said. Melinda Chen also could not speak Chinese. She said there were Chinese members as well as British-born Chinese members.

“I felt more comfortable when I wasn’t there,” she said with a laugh.

Instead, she became involved in athletics, playing third base for the school’s softball intramural league and played on the badminton intramural team.

“I really had a positive experience at Iowa State,” Melinda Chen said.

She graduated from Iowa State in 1980, attending the University of Tennessee for her master’s in food technology and science. She also obtained her doctorate in IT Management from Capella University, and Juris Doctor from Catholic University of America Law School.

Currently Melinda Chen works as acting branch chief in the Office of Compliance for the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), CFSAN (Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition).

Melinda Chen’s daughter, Katrina Choong, was exposed to Iowa State

in her mother Melinda’s closet when she found Melinda Chen’s Iowa State sweater. She said that between her older sister and her, one of the two was going to end up at Iowa State.

“When I visited Iowa State when my sister was considering coming here, I was like ‘wow, this place is really pretty,” Katrina Choong said.

Katrina Choong knew she wanted to go into engineering, so Iowa State was a consideration for her. Her interest in the school also grew knowing her mother and grandfather were alumni.

“I checked out Coover Hall when I visited and was super impressed with all the technology they had [there],” Katrina Choong said.

Before making her final decision, Katrina Choong said she and her mother visited other Midwest schools including Michigan, Michigan State, University of Cincinnati. None of the other institutions compared to how she felt about Iowa State.

“It felt like home, I could make this my home,“ Katrina Choong said.

Echoing her grandfather and mother, Katrina Choong said she felt everyone at Iowa State was welcoming and nice.

Being the third person in her immediate family to attend Iowa State was cool to Katrina Choong, but she said she did not think she had to keep up the legacy already created.

When she told her grandfather she was attending his alma mater, she said he was happy for her and asked if she was going to eat corn while there.

Unlike her grandfather, she did not like to eat corn.

But like her grandfather, she was assigned to Friley. Homer Chen had stayed in Noble House.

“I felt compelled to be friends with people living in Noble,” Katrina Choong said.

Homer Chen came along with his daughter and granddaughter to

move in Katrina Choong for her sophomore year.

She said her grandfather could remember where buildings were.

While some of the buildings had been updated and newly constructed, she said her grandfather could point out parts of the buildings that were present when he was attending.

“Iowa State does a good job of keeping traditions, but it does change with time,” Katrina Choong said.

She said her grandfather was excited to see Friley and wanted to go visit Noble.

“He wanted to go see his room, but we told him he couldn’t go inside the room because people stay in it,” she said with a laugh.

Katrina Choong said she believed that she and her grandfather most likely took the same core classes that all engineers take.

While Homer Chen took the civil engineering route, Katrina Choong credited her father and Homer Chen’s brother for her inspiration in pursuing electrical engineering.

Katrina Choong had a similar experience to her mother interacting with Chinese students.

Her friend suggested the language barrier may be just as hard for the international students. Katrina Choong had taken Chinese for seven years before, but also took a Chinese class at Iowa State.

“I think it’s really cool to see how diverse the classes are and the people who are trying to learn [Chinese],” she said.

Proud is a good word to describe how she feels about being the third generation in her family to attend Iowa State.

“I love [Iowa], it’s so calm and it’s a different pace,” Katrina Choong said.

“It was meant to be.”

She said she wonders if her future children would consider coming to Iowa State, too.

Iowa State students and Ames residents gather at the Cyclone Sports Complex on Friday for Reggie’s Sleepout to fight against youth homelessness.

MIA WANG/ IOWA STATE DAILY

Suffering exists in our community Be an active bystander and act with purpose

BY SOLOMON.JONES @iowastatedaily.com Using the phrase “around the world” is a very broad perspective. It casts your vision globally and does not allow for a more personal viewpoint. When I think of world suffering, I think of poverty, hunger, sex trafficking, abusive power, etc. Rarely do I think of those things on a scale as small as Ames.

After attending Reggie’s Sleepout last Friday night, my perspective was broadened and these thoughts

flooded my mind. After hearing Krista Mcalley’s testimony, I was made more aware of the kids of things happening in small communities in Iowa. She experienced homelessness after graduating from the foster care system at the age of 19.

“Situations can be tough but you just have to know it will get better,” Mcalley said.

She was able to keep a full-time job but lived through couch surfing and out of her Jeep. She got involved in a youth organization called, “Achieving Maximum Potential” and eventually was adopted at the age of 21.

First and foremost, I was completely humbled as I saw that a lot of my cares in life had nothing to do with where am I going to sleep that night or what I am going to eat.

Second, I knew these issues were prominent in Iowa communities, but I had never experienced it firsthand.

Like I said, I would typically see these issues as things outside of Iowa. I have learned differently.

According to Families Helping Families of Iowa, every 40 minutes a child is neglected or abused in Iowa, which often leads to the foster care system. Iowa is ranked sixth in the nation with about 14,000 children in the foster care system and 36 percent of those need mental health medication.

Often after children graduate from the foster care system they have no support system to go to and are easily left for homeless living. Reggie’s Sleepout is based on the story of Reggie Kelsey who was without support when aging out of the foster system. Within the same year, Reggie was found dead in the Des Moines River.

So now that my ignorance has been educated, what do I do now? Like I said before, see the blessings in my life and be thankful.

Tips for having a productive summer After a long and most likely difficult year of classes, students all around the country will start to go on summer break this month. Some may spend summer taking classes on campus or online, some may spend it vacationing around the globe, some may spend it working at a job or internship or some may spend it doing nothing at all.

Once students leave the classroom, they may feel a lack of structure, a lack of a schedule or a lack of productivity.

For some, this may be exactly what they wanted. For others, and especially those who do not have an internship or job, this can be a problem.

When you have no obligations to take care of over the summer, it may seem easier to simply waste away the summer doing a whole lot of nothing instead of

putting in the effort of doing something productive.

It’s easy to say: “I’ll do it another time,” without deadlines keeping you on your toes. With this sort of thinking, you dismiss all the free time you have available to continue to push back whatever it is you’re trying to get out of your summer.

Then, before you know it, your summer is over and you’re back in class. What will you say when classes roll around and you’re asked what you did over the summer?

So how can you stay productive over the summer? The solutions are endless.

The key is finding a technique or tool that works best for you. However, they all start the same: with a goal. First, you must decide what you want to get out of the summer.

Once you know your overarching goal for the summer (could be wanting to make $4,000 or buy a car.) Break that goal into steps by month, then by week, then even by day.

What are all the exact things you will need to do day by day to achieve your goal by the time class starts back up in the fall?

Now that you have your daily steps, it’s time to figure out how you will stick to it. For some, this may come in the form of a daily planner.

For others, a checklist or even a white board. There is no correct tool or method to keep you on track, whatever works best for you, will work best for you.

With your goal in mind, and your steps to get there in hand, you’ll be ready to have the most productive summer of 2019.

Iowa State falls to Drake Cyclones falter in extra innings, lose 6-5 to Drake

BY SAM.STUVE @iowastatedaily.com It was a packed stadium at Buel Field in Des Moines as the Drake Bulldogs beat Iowa State by a score of 6-5 in a competitive extra-inning battle on Wednesday.

“I thought we played well enough to win tonight, but we did not end up on the high side,” said Iowa State head coach Jamie Pinkerton.

Before the game, there was a moment of silence held for the tragic passing of former Northern Iowa softball player Micalla Rettinger.

Additionally, players from both teams wore purple ribbons in their hair.

The Cyclones and Bulldogs played an even game as the games was tied three times in the first five innings.

Senior pitcher Emma Hylen made the start for the Cyclones in the circle and now has a record of 14-9 in the circle this season.

In eight innings pitched, Hylen allowed seven runs off eight hits. She also had one strikeout.

The first inning was uneventful for Iowa State offensively, but it wasn’t for Drake as the Bulldogs held a 2-0 lead at the end of the first inning.

Quality at-bats in the second in the third inning led the Cyclones to take a 4-2 lead over the Bulldogs heading into the bottom of the third inning.

“After they scored in the first inning we shook it off, came back and started battling again,” said senior first baseman Sally Woolpert.

Offensively in the top of second and third inning, the Cyclones were productive in multiple ways.

Senior right fielder Sydney Stites smashed a home run, junior shortstop Sami Williams and senior catcher Kaylee Bosworth drove in runs and four Cyclones drew walks in those

two innings.

One player who played well for Iowa State was Stites.

Stites went 2-for-3 on Wednesday, including a two-run home run in the top of the third inning and an RBI single in the top of the fourth inning.

“I think especially after playing Oklahoma this past weekend, I wanted to take every opportunity to hit them as hard as I could,” Stites said.

The Bulldogs were able to keep pace with Iowa State’s offense, and the game was tied up at five apiece in the top of the sixth inning.

A key change was made by the Bulldogs in the top of the sixth inning, as their ace Nicole Newman, who leads the NCAA in strikeouts, came in to pitch for Nicole Timmons.

In two innings, Newman allowed no runs off one hit and had seven strikeouts, en route to earning the win for the Bulldogs.

Both teams had a runner on base in the seventh inning, but neither team was able to score.

A key play was made in the bottom of the seventh inning for Iowa State as Woolpert caught a short pop fly and then stepped on first base to turn a double play and to force extra innings.

Sarah Maddox hit a walk-off home run to left field for Drake that gave the Bulldogs a 6-5 win over the Cyclones in eight innings.

“I’m sure Emma would like to have that pitch back, but [Maddox] made a good adjustment on a low ball,” Pinkerton said.

“Got to give the tip of the cap to them.”

In total, the Cyclones scored five runs off 11 hits and earned a base on balls seven times.

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs scored six runs off seven hits and drew three walks.

Drake improved to 37-14 (21-2 MVC) as and Iowa State fell to 28-22. Iowa State now has a record of 8-8 on the road and Drake has a record of 13-0 at home.

The Cyclones finished with a 2-1 record against in-state teams this season.

Iowa State will return home to face a big 12 foe, the Kansas Jayhawks, beginning with a matchup of Friday at 4 p.m. at Cyclone Sports Complex.

Intramural esports community grow in popularity

BY NICK.FLORES @iowastatedaily.com The introduction of intramural “Rocket League” at Iowa State has gained a lot of attention at the university as it becomes the first intramural esport to be offered to students. It opened the door for more competitive esports to be offered at Iowa State as well.

In “Rocket League,” players are assembled in teams of three as they compete in an intense and fastpaced game of soccer where instead of using a virtual character, they use remote-controlled cars.

The league is set up in a bracket-style tournament where teams must first compete in preliminaries to determine the division a team plays in — either A, B, C or D — and if the team receives a firstround bye or not.

Once placed in a division, teams will compete against each other in single elimination knockout game

to determine the winner of their respective division as well as the winner of the coveted intramural T-shirt prize.

More than 500 students have entered into the competition this spring and while “Rocket League” can be played very casually, the games can get very competitive.

“With preliminaries, only seeding was on the line so there wasn’t too much pressure,” said Joseph Romo, freshman in mechanical engineering, who plays in the “B” division. “Now that we’re in bracket play there’s a lot more on the line so it gets very competitive.

“There’s no losers bracket or anything like that so once you lose your series you’re out of the tournament.”

Jens O urada, sophomore in mechanical engineering, who also plays in the “B” division, recognized the competitive nature of the games.

“It gets heated once games get closer, and I would for sure say they’re pretty competitive,” Ourada

said.

The feedback the university received in terms of participants for the intramural esport has also raised questions about whether to add more in the future. With the gaming and esport scene becoming

much more popular in recent years, this could very well be a possibility in the future at Iowa State.

“I would love to see other competitive esports at Iowa State,” Romo said. “Since the response was so good for just the first esport, I’m

sure the university will look into adding other esports down the line.”

The high amount of players in the inaugural year of “Rocket League” at Iowa State means there could be interest sooner rather than later in adding more esports.

“I think esports is growing rapidly,” Ourada said. “Especially in the next 10 to 20 years it’s going to be pretty big so I see the university adding more esports in the future.”

Games such as “League of L e g e n d s , ” “ O v e r w a t c h” a n d “Counterstrike” are currently some of the biggest esports in the gaming scene and could bring in a lot of participants if Iowa State were to implement an intramural league for these games and possibly others.

Only time will tell whether the university decides to add more esports for students to participate in but, as the gaming scene continues to grow, students shouldn’t be surprised if they see more intramural esports at Iowa State in the future.

‘May the fourth’ be with you The Han Solo Project makes live debut

BY ALEXANDER.GRAY @iowastatedaily.com “May the Fourth” be with you for a special “Star Wars” celebration concert in the Maintenance Shop for the final concert of the semester.

Making their live debut, The Han Solo Project plays the M-Shop on May 4, supported by professor turned hip-hop artist, Slice the Celestial Sorcerer, and alt-rockers Strong Like Bear.

The Han Solo Project is (mostly) a duo, started by Mike Bal and Tom Hummer, that write and play songs themed around the “Star Wars” franchise. Their music style hits all sorts of genres like bluesy rock and roll, high energy club beats and thrashing punk.

Tracks in their discography include “Chewbaklava,” “Boba Fettish” and “Carbonite Blues.”

Expect to see the band fully deckedout in “Star Wars” garb for their performance. Bal and Hummer will be slipping into the roles of fan-favorite scoundrels, Chewbacca and Han Solo respectively. The pair are joined

by Nick Kaizer and Patrick Hummer for the show.

“We’ve got at least one guy dressed as a Jedi, and I’m trying to get the other to dress as Darth Vader,” Bal said.

“He’s complaining about being able to do backup vocals in the Darth Vader mask, so we’ll see.”

The project started as a band with Hummer’s brothers while Bal and Hummer were attending Iowa State about 10 years ago.

“It was kind of a joke,” Bal said.

“We were really bad at working titles for songs, and our singer is a really bad procrastinator in terms of writing the lyrics.”

The band would write full instrumentals to songs without really knowing what they’d be about. They were

left with joke working titles as “Tears of a Wookie” and “Hoth = Fun” to mess with the singer.

By the time the band had graduated, found jobs and moved back to Ames, Disney had announced the resurrection of “Star Wars” with 2015’s “The Force Awakens.” Over the years, the Bal and Hummer had acquired enough musical equipment to record songs they’d had on the backburner.

Bal is the bigger “Star Wars” fan of the two, coming up with ideas while watching the movies and TV shows and reading comics, then assigning Hummer “research” to piece together lyrics.

“Tom’s a big English/word geek, so half the things he says are puns,” Bal said. “The other half I say are coming from movies, so it just kind of works out that way.”

Bal said the duo had a great time writing their first album, “The Force Hits Snooze,” the whole process taking only two weeks. By the third album they felt the songwriting had gotten better and production had gone up and they were ready to make their live

performance debut.

The Han Solo Project’s debut album inadvertently predicted the death of their namesake with the song “Tears of a Wookie” in their first album. The song was released before Han Solo bit the dust on the big screen, but that didn’t stop their friends from placing the blame on them.

“It doesn’t include Han Solo’s death

in there, it’s a sad Chewbacca song,” Bal said. “But we had a bunch of people go ‘too soon, too soon’ after the movie played. ... We didn’t predict he was going to die, obviously, so we felt a little bit bad about that one.”

Tickets for the May 4 concert are $8 to the public, $6 with a student ID. The show starts at 8 p.m., doors open at 7:30 p.m.

REVIEW

New zombie-survival game ‘Days Gone’ unique, but lacks personality

BY CHASE.JOHNSTON @iowastatedaily.com Sony’s newest zombie survival game, “Days Gone,” is a combination of several different games and ideas that results in a capable but somewhat bland experience.

In “Days Gone” you play as Deacon St. John, a biker gang member tr ying to sur vive in a post-apocalyptic Oregon after the outbreak of a zombie virus. Deacon, now surviving with his best friend, believes his wife was turned. Nearly two years pass when something finally happens to Deacon to reignite hope his wife is still out there somewhere, surviving.

The zombies are not zombies in “Days Gone,” instead more animal-like beasts called“Freakers.” A lot of the open-world activities have to do with dealing with Freakers in various ways, whether it be clearing out nests of them spread across a given area, or killing a horde of up to a thousand. Hordes were in fact the initial draw to this game, behaving similar to the thousand-zombie groups in the film “World War Z.” T h e re a re v a r i o u s k i n d s o f Freakers in the game. These include Newts (children turned Freakers), Swarmers (what the hordes are made up of ), Breakers (big Freakers), and Screamers (Freakers that attract other Freakers). The Freakers all act uniquely and are somewhat fascinating to watch. They are very animalistic, smelling everything and dragging people into nests, and each type behaves in its own way.

The Newts will not attack Deacon unless he is low on health or unless he intrudes on their territory, which is usually a rooftop they will retreat to. The Freakers have pretty good AI, searching for Deacon by smelling

him and dodging bullets by flicking their bodies from side to side.

Freakers are not the only enemies in this game however; there is wildlife and other humans to look out for. Animals “Days Gone” include huntable deer, as well as bears, cougars and wolves who will hunt you. Human enemies can set up ambushes for the player, camping outside of Deacon’s house. There are several different human factions, but they all act similarly.

Animal AI is realistic and interesting, but the human AI is where things begin to vary. During active gameplay, the human enemies tend to stay behind cover and shoot, slowly working their way towards you until they can charge you. The AI is generally good for them, but on some occasions the human enemies will make weird decisions that result in them dying. This does not heavily affect the game, however, since the meat of the gameplay is centered around the Freakers.

The true way to traverse the game’s world is via the motorcycle. Deacon’s bike is important in this game. You can not call for it to magically appear next to you — if you leave it across the map, you will have to walk all the way back to retrieve it. The bike can be upgraded and requires heavy amounts of maintenance such as giving it gasoline and repairing it with scrap you pick up from the environment.

Combat is decently fun and engaging. When having a gunfight with a group of human enemies, things feel standard and generic, but when shooting Freakers, it feels somehow new. This is especially true with the Hordes. The player has to run, shoot explosives, lay traps and plan out a whole scenario to kill hundreds or thousands of Freakers. It’s a

high energy and intense portion of gameplay that makes the game shine.

The shooting of weapons ranges from good and somewhat satisfying, to un-fun and floaty. There isn’t enough impact when shooting certain weapons. The shooting feels especially bad when enemies don’t die after three or four shots, but it does hammer home the survival aspect of the game, forcing you to conserve ammo and resources.

The sole saving grace of the shooting is a slow-motion mechanic that can be activated while aiming. The melee combat is perhaps the best one-click melee in recent memory.

The gore and true visceral of each impact of the weapon of choice is oddly satisfying and is likely how you will be taking out most lone Freakers.

To help the player find resources in the environment, Deacon has the ability to use his senses to scan the area around him to pinpoint where enemies, containers, and items are.

It is never explained in-game how Deacon is able to do this, so it seems like the developers just saw it in

other survival games and decided to throw it in.

There is a progression system that is quite interesting but just misses the mark due to lackluster upgrades.

There are three standard skill trees, one for ranged combat, one for melee, and one for general survival.

The player must kill enemies and complete objectives to gain enough experience to level up, and once a level is gained, the player gets one skill point which can be assigned to any of the available skills in the three skill trees.

The world of “Days Gone” is immersive and beautiful. The heavy blues that paint a dreary sky and the hard greens of the trees you drive past make the world feel comforting but appropriately sad. The wear and tear of the roads and the dirt paths make the world feel lived in and interesting. The decaying architecture from nearly two years of neglect shine through with broken windows and overgrowth all around, rainy weather makes everything even more beautiful and sad. The world is completely believable visually,

barring some visual bugs every now and then.

There are towns that can be traveled to in the game, and the initial base of operations for Deacon and Boozer is a watchtower on top of a small mountain. Towns in Oregon feel like a realistic and natural progression of humanity after such a world-wide epidemic. Platforms built onto rocks and tree-house-like bridges and walkways enhance the pure survival element of this world.

There is one camp players will visit that is basically is run like a prison, making the inhabitants work constantly just to be able to eat, showing that surviving is not necessarily living.

One area where the game fails is the audio. The sounds feel unnatural and oddly placed, with audio bugs all over. Sometimes characters will talk over each other and it isn’t clear if it is meant to be on purpose or not.

The music playing during the more dramatic scenes make it feel like a dull action movie, but it conflicts because what you are seeing is truly good story telling.

“Days Gone” is a solid game, but doesn’t have enough going for it to make it unique in any way. The gameplay is standard and generic, the story is somewhat drawn out and over acted, but the world and the characters are where this game shines. The hordes are also a lot of fun visually and in terms of gameplay. The fatal flaw of “Days Gone” is its attempt to be a cross between many different games and movies, in the end lacking personality of its own. A solid mix of things from pop-culture and wholly unoriginal gameplay and story, “Days Gone” falls just short of excellence.

VERDICT: 7/10

TUITION

PG1

$18 million. This request was turned down and instead replaced with a plan to increase Regent appropriations by $12 million.

“O ur $7 million, cut to $4 million is disheartening,” Graber said. “We have to find solutions to our hard working students and my fellow classmates. Clearly higher education is not a top priority in the state based on the current proposals.”

University of Iowa student body president Noel Mills also criticized the Iowa Legislature and end proposal from the Regents to raise University of Iowa resident undergraduate tuition by $303, or 3.9 percent.

“These increases make up to be around 30 hours of work, eight appointments of donating plasma or skipping 60 meals,” Mills said. “These are very real consequences for my peers and for me.”

Between the three Regent universities, Iowa State would see the largest increases in tuition under the current proposal, especially when it comes to non-resident and graduate tuition.

While Iowa State proposed a 4.9 percent increase for all graduate students and non-resident undergraduate students, the University of Iowa would increase tuition for these groups a smaller amount than their resident undergraduate students.

For Iowa non-resident undergraduate and graduate students, tuition would increase 1 percent. For Iowa resident graduate students, tuition would increase by 3 percent.

Iowa State president Wendy Wintersteen also spoke at the meeting, saying she was appreciative of the $12 million increase but that it falls “well short” of the $18 million proposed by Governor Reynolds.

“We are disappointed to see the trend of underfunding public higher education continue,” Wintersteen said. “We needed the state to do its part by fully funding our request, unfortunately

that did not happen.”

In the year 2000, state appropriations were more than $20 million more than under the current proposal despite Iowa State now teaching around 9,000 more students then it did at that time, Wintersteen said.

Keeping high quality teaching staff as well as tackling problems related to deferred maintenance were some of the issues Wintersteen said she sees with current funding levels. At the Regents April meeting, Wintersteen told the board that Iowa State would need $32.5 million in additional resources to tackle some of the issues it faces.

Through appropriations, strategic realignment and tuition increases, Wintersteen said Iowa State would be able to work toward that.

In an email sent to students and faculty, Wintersteen addressed the boards decision to increase tuition rates. Wintersteen elaborated on the work being done to adjust internal costs to meet needs after expressing disappointment in the state’s appropriation levels.

In addition to tuition increases, the board approved the first read of an increase in all Iowa State students mandatory fees by $29.50. $18.50 of the fees go to student activities, with $2.50 going to Student Government and $16 going to the Iowa State Daily to provide “a permanent funding source to sustain business operations,” as stated in the executive summary by the Board.

The final $11 is a student services fee for CyRide. The fee is intended to offset “fuel and labor as well as [maintain] quality and safe service due to increasing demand,” also according to the summary.

The 3.9 percent increase in rates for Iowa State undergraduate tuition were based on a formula decided in November by the board. The formula sets a 5-year tuition model that has a 3 percent base increase and up to an additional 2 percent increase based on the Higher Education Price Index and state appropriation levels.

Wintersteen and Graber expressed support for the 5-year plan to keep tuition predictable.
