TRADEMARK Sport Club Council voices concern

Senate kills bill denouncing policy

WILLA COLVILLE/ IOWA STATE DAILY A Water Ski Club represenative talks on Wednesday evening at the weekly Sport Club Council meeting. At the meeting, clubs discussed the new trademark policy and how it will impact them.

WILLA COLVILLE/ IOWA STATE DAILY Officials from the University Trademark and Licensing Office discuss with Student Government the revised trademark policy and its impact on student organizations.

After meeting with officials from the University Trademark Licensing Office last week, many members of the Sport Club Council (SCC) felt confused and concerned with the university’s new trademark policy for student organizations. Based on a three-tier system, the new policy limits certain clubs use of trademarked words or images. The issue that sport clubs faced was that while SCC is a sponsored organization and has more leniency when it comes to trademarks, the clubs within SCC are not sponsored. Most of the clubs in SCC fall under the affiliated tier, which requires the use of “at ISU,” “at Iowa State” or “at Iowa State University” after the club name. Rose Echard, president of the SCC, explained that many clubs were frustrated with the new guidelines. For example, the Triathlon Club has uniforms using trademarks as well as an event named “The CyMan” which will have to be modified. “It wouldn’t be that big of a deal other than that clubs will have to start replacing uniforms,” Echard said. “It would really make sense for them to change what they are doing because SCC is one of the bigger organizations on campus.”

Iowa State’s revised trademark policy dominated much of the Student Government Senate meeting Wednesday evening, in which a resolution introduced by Sen. Sam Freestone called for President Wendy Wintersteen to reprimand the originator of the revised policy “up to termination.” Many senators were concerned about the looming trademark policy and its effect on campus student organizations. The policy, released on Aug. 1, was released with the intent of protecting the university’s brand. According to the policy, if an organization decides to use Iowa State University, Iowa State, or ISU in its name, then the verbiage must follow the name instead of proceed it. For example, “ISU ____ Club” must change its name to “____ Club at ISU.” Prior to debate on the bill, however, the Director of Trademark Licensing Office Leesha Zimmerman and University Counsel Michael Norton came to the meeting on behalf of the Trademark and Licensing Office to discuss the policy with Student Government. Many senators raised questions regarding the policy, including Sen. Sandeep Stanley, who asked if the ISU NORML lawsuit from several years ago was a primary cause of the policy. Norton denied this claim.

BY SPENCER.SUCKOW @iowastatedaily.com It was the first-ever sellout for a Northern Iowa volleyball match in the McLeod Center — 7,000 fans purple-clad Panther fans packed the arena hoping to make life miserable for in-state rival Iowa State. But the Cyclones were unfazed. After falling to the Panthers the last two seasons in five-set marathons, Iowa State took care of the state’s only ranked team Wednesday night in straight sets, 25-20, 25-20 and 32-30. The win moved Iowa State’s record to 3-1 on the season, and dropped the 17th-ranked Panthers, fresh off wins over N o. 1 3 C r e i g h t o n a n d N o.

After the match, Iowa State head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch praised her team for cohesiveness in the handling of UNI’s constantly fired-up crowd. “That atmosphere was pretty amazing,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I thought last weekend was a little disappointing in that I thought we didn’t ever really look like a team. I’m so happy to see that we looked like a team tonight, not just a bunch of great players.” In terms of the actual game, there was quite a bit of sloppiness from both teams despite the 3-0 sweep by Iowa State. The Cyclones and Panthers combined for a total of 19 service

EMPOWERING FARMERS If elected, Tim Gannon aims to increase ISU ag research BY DEVYN.LEESON @iowastatedaily.com Tim Gannon, Democratic candidate for the Iowa Secretary of Agriculture, has a long list of policy goals relating to research, conservation and empowering farmers. Gannon grew up in Mingo, Iowa on a century farm his family had owned since 1888. Growing up, Gannon said he learned the importance of agriculture to the state of Iowa, especially as he saw first-hand what the farm crisis of the 1980s did to the state’s economy. “That ripples out to Iowa’s economy,” Gannon said. “Those small towns suffer, manufacturing suffers because we build so much for agriculture and also our state budget ends up suffering.” This idea, centric to his platform, is why Gannon said he wants to improve Iowa’s farm economy. “I’m excited because I think there is a lot of opportunities in Iowa agriculture and its economy, but we have to make sure our economic opportunities are there for people to want to live in rural Iowa. We have got to figure how we can add value so people will farm knowing they can make a living doing it,” Gannon said. Gannon said although Iowa is growing in population, it is not growing everywhere, possibly because of a lack of opportunities for Iowa farmers. “Iowa has grown by 90,000 people, but 71 of 99 counties lost population partially due to the state of our rural economy,” Gannon said. Gannon said investment in research institutions like Iowa State and putting priorities on conservation efforts could ensure Iowa has a strong economy for years to come. “In the past we had increased funding for ag research, but for the last five years our funding has flatlined,” Gannon said. “I would support raising our funding to the ag research station so that by fiscal year 2023 we would be spending 35 million at the ag experiment station.” “If we did that, it would send a very strong message that we want to be involved in the next generation of research that we are very much open for business when it comes to research,” he said. “That would help us bring in the top research talent and also make us much more competitive for grants.” In 2001, the funding for the ag research station was at its peak at around $37 million. Today that number is slightly less than $30 million. This research is what keeps Iowa farmers productive and effective, Gannon said. “The claim that we feed the world is largely due to our productivity,” Gannon said. “But to increase that productivity and stay at the top we need to continue investing in research.” Investment in conservation efforts, specifically protecting Iowa’s topsoil, is another focus Gannon says will support Iowa’s farmers. “Voters in the state of Iowa in 2010 supported by over 60 percent the creation of a trust fund that would take ⅜ of a cent on sales tax money and put it towards conservation efforts on soil and water,” Gannon said. This fund was never created as the legislature never approved the fund. “Many voters believe that trust exists when, in fact, it doesn’t,” Gannon said. A sales tax increase of that kind would create an additional $200 million, of which 60 percent, or $120 million, would go to conservation efforts, Gannon said. “If we spent $120 million as a state on conservation efforts, folks I worked with at USDA have said they would match that amount,” Gannon said. In addition to that investment, Gannon said many Fortune 500 companies, especially those in the food industry, would also look to invest in conservation efforts if Iowa was “serious” about them. “They want to be able to tell their customers or shareholders they are working to keep the air, water and soil clean and healthy,” Gannon said. “If you get those fortune 500 companies who are looking to invest in sustainability efforts, especially in their own supply chains, if they see

“In the past we had increased funding for ag research, but for the last five years our funding has flatlined,” - Tim Gannon, Democratic candidate for the Iowa Secretary of Agriculture the state, federal government and local farmers all make efforts towards sustainability we could see between $400 and $500 billion in new investment.” Gannon said believing in raising the sales tax by a penny was one way he sets himself apart from his Republican counterpart, in addition to differences on biofuel and trade policies. Trade barriers, Gannon said, create market uncertainties which can be “devastating” for investment. “People don’t know if it’s going to be a good investment,” Gannon said. “They are nervous about trade policies and that means less investment.” When it comes to biofuels, Gannon would ask for a waiver from the EPA to allow for ethanol and biodiesel to be sold year round. “A lot of retailers don’t want to take on the expenses of carrying some parts of the year and not others, having to change pumps as the seasons change,” Gannon said. “The EPA said it was close to signing that waiver back in May and now here we are, nearly four months later, with nothing to show. It doesn’t seem we are any closer.” Gannon said other industries have gotten waivers that are impacting biofuels negatively. “They have given these waivers to oil refineries and that has reduced demand for ethanol by 2.25 billion gallons and biodiesel demand by 300 million gallons,” Gannon said. “If they relocated that demand it would mean nearly 1 billion bushels of corn, nearly half of the carryover from last harvest, could be used.”

Airsoft Gun Club discusses Fredericksen Court scare

JACKIE NORMAN/ IOWA STATE DAILY

The incident involving airsoft guns took place near and around building 32 of Fredericksen Court.

BY DANIELLE.GEHR @iowastatedaily.com Campus-wide, a text, a call and an email all conveyed an unnerving message. “ISU Alert: Report of two possibly armed individuals near building 32 in Frederiksen Court.” The first Iowa State alert since the news system’s implementation warned students to stay away from the area and residents to stay in their apartments while police investigated. Iowa State engagement officer Anthony Greiter said they were pleased with the timeliness of the news system, a 12-minute response. A couple hours later, the threat of gunmen on campus resulted in the confiscation of airsoft guns, which police said looked very realistic, and had the regulation orange tip removed, which is illegal. Police spoke with four suspects, who were cooperative, and confiscated one airsoft rifle and three airsoft handguns. Two Frederiksen Court residents were charged

in connection to the incident, one of which is a recently suspended Iowa State football player. Dallas Taylor-Cortez, a freshman football player, was charged with harassment, a simple misdemeanor. He is one of four players suspended by Coach Matt Campbell who cited multiple instances of poor choices and behavior. Newton told the Daily that TaylorCortez “threatened, intimidated and or alarmed” at least one victim. “If an officer has a split second to make a decision and there is a very realistic looking gun, that situation can get very bad,” Iowa State Police Chief Michael Newton told the Daily. President of Iowa State’s Airsoft Club, Tanner Holte, said he knew immediately after hearing about Thursday’s incident that none of their club members were involved. On top of talking about how to be a better and more effective player, education on the rules and requirements on and off campus is emphasized to their

members. “We try to keep people well informed so they can take care of their equipment and themselves on the field,” Holte said. “Members of the club and anyone else are absolutely not allowed to have replica firearms on campus.” Greiter said it is important to distinguish the difference between the law and campus restrictions. While off-campus it is only required that the regulation orange cap remains on, air soft weapons are forbidden from campus. Greiter warned that the orange cap still “is not a tell all.” Carrying guns inside a protective case is also important, Holte said, preferably one that locks. “You’re making it very clear that your weapon is not a danger to anyone,” Holte said. Holte started using airsoft guns in middle school, playing in his friends backyards during their free time. His hometown later made public use of airsoft guns

illegal, and since none of his friends had secluded backyards, he stopped playing until he started attending Iowa State. The other student charged is Tyciera Whitaker-Wells, sophomore in early childhood education, for falsely reporting to a public entity. She reported to police the night of the incident that the suspects were near Building 72, later admitting this was to draw attention away from the suspects. Greiter said the case is ongoing and more charges may be filed. Similar to an incident a few years ago when a bomb report turned out to be a live action role playing (LARP) prop, he said the police see these situations as training for if the next report involves actual guns. He said at the end of the day, they did what they were trained to do and no one was hurt. “We respond as if they were real firearms,” Greiter said. “Through the whole process, we get this experience.”

Live Your Truth: ‘This is your place here, this is your community’ BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com Students, staff and faculty members of color came together in the Memorial Union to socialize and sing karaoke during the Live Your Truth: Queer and Trans Students of Color Party on Wednesday. The Live Your Truth: Queer and Trans Students of Color Party is an event co-hosted by the Center for LGBTQIA+ Student Success and the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs. The party aimed to be an affinity space for students, faculty and staff of color who identify as trans and/or queer.

“This event is important to campus when thinking about where are the spaces or times that say that this is a space specifically centering queer and trans people of color,” said Clare Lemke, assistant director of The Center for LGBTQIA+ Student Success. The party was held in the Cardinal Room. People of all ages attended the event. Torrell Foree, program coordinator for the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, said this event is important because there isn’t a definitive space for people who identify as queer and trans and also of color. The purpose of the event is to help define that space. On one side of the entrance there was a table with name

tags where people could write their names and pronouns. On the other side was a gallery walk where students could write and answer a variety of questions. Some of the questions included “What other things would you like to do this year with the QTPOC community at Iowa State?,” “How do you like to connect with people?” and “Why did you come tonight?” Karaoke was a popular event with the microphone never being empty for long. Songs from varying artists and time periods were sung and many times the crowd joined in and attendees sang together. “This is your place here, this is your community,” Foree said.

FINISHING FIRST Part 1

BY ADOLFO.ESPITIA @iowastatedaily.com High school seniors across the United States wait for their first wave of letters from prospective universities. With eager parents at their side, college life is imminent. Among these seniors are the first-generation students. According to the U.S. Department of Education, a first-generation student is defined as a “[student] whose parents have never earned a bachelor’s degree but may have some postsecondar y experience.” These students are the first generation in the family to attend, and receive a bachelor degree at a four-year institution. In fall 2017, Iowa State had 36,321 students enrolled. Among the numbers, at least 20 percent of the student population are first-generation students. But what does it mean to be a first-generation student? How do they go through college differently than traditional students? I was born to two immigrants of Mexico, both of whom traveled to the United States in search of a better future. Neither of my parents attended college. My mother attended a few classes to better her English and to be a working citizen. My father did not attend any college. Working any job that could provide for my family, my mother always stressed the importance of college. Eighteen years later, I got accepted at Iowa State. Fast forward to the end of my junior year and college has definitely been one of the hardest experiences I have faced. Entering college was like entering a parallel universe, a culture shock like no other. Feeling like an outsider and not knowing where to turn; carrying a confidence that burns dimly but fights to stay. It often feels like a stumble uphill just to stay afloat. My story isn’t unique. My experience can be shared with the thousands of students that battle a label silently, tucked away in daily life. These students have faced a similar dilemma before, during and after college. Katie Seifert, a Peace Corps Coverdell Fellow and graduate student at Iowa State, works with students of color, low-income and diverse backgrounds in the Des Moines

area. The ISU 4U Program partners with students at Des Moines Public Schools and awards tuition assistance for those who meet requirements. Students that pass fifth grade are eligible for the enrollment process and can apply when enrolling for admission to Iowa State. The program strives to assist students to transition successfully between high school and college.

What happens when these students enter their first year of college? Seifert says students translate between two different worlds. One may be an environment with supportive peers who understand the stress of college and living on a campus that celebrates adventure. The other may be a home where there is no mutual understanding of the successes and

hard-work put in toward a degree; or perhaps a family still needs financial support from the student. Often, there’s a layer of guilt when these students are in the first generation of a family to pursue the dream of a college education. “They learn to navigate through academic procedures, social procedures and leaving family, a big challenge for first generation students,” Seifert said. Kenyatta Shamburger, assistant dean of students at Iowa State, said these students are faced with doubt, questioning their abilities. A shackle wraps around their mentality of breaking the cycle to become among the first in the family to own a degree. “Coming to college is a huge step. Feelings around, ‘Can I do this? Am I prepared? Will I do well?’” Shamburger said. “Most students have these thoughts, but first-generation students may add to that. ‘If I struggle, who do I go to?’” A student may receive unlimited support from their family, but that support can create a pressure to succeed. That added element from a community that may not have prior experience in higher education, causes a fear to not let anyone down. Nothing feels worse than feeling like a failure, and in this population, failure isn’t an option. Shamburger says it takes a little bit longer for first-generation students to adjust. Without the help of parents, the college environment can feel over whelming. A major barrier can be adjusting to the language used in a university setting. Deadlines, syllabi, award letters and locating resources can feel like walking through a labyrinth. “We have to challenge ourselves not to assume that everybody comes into university with the same information or knowledge,” Shamburger said. “Is it something I should already know?” Navigating through these different spaces can be difficult. The Iowa State community provides spaces for first-generation students to be able to relate to each other. According to Seifert, extra-curricular activities prove beneficial. Having other peer support creates a space of understanding, helping them feel less like outsiders on campus.

EDITORIAL

The Iowa State police responded well in Frederiksen Court BB gun incident It’s been just one week since the incident in Frederiksen Court that resulted in three ISU Alerts — one even describing four people reportedly armed with a handgun and rifle — went out to the university community. Luckily, the weapons were found to be BB guns and no one was harmed during the incident. It’s chilling, however, to think of how much worse the situation could have been. As per pictures released by the Iowa State Police Department, the guns recovered did not have regulation orange tips. Without the bright-colored tips at the end of the barrels, officers could have easily mistaken the BB guns for real firearms — and the consequences for the young men involved in the incident could have certainly been much worse. There are student organizations who provide safe and monitored environments off-campus to use BB and airsoft guns. However, the guns themselves are not allowed on campus, according to Iowa State policy. It is absolutely imperative to be careful especially in the current climate. Don’t do anything that could cause someone

to mistake your hobby for something much more deadly. Unfortunately, even people following every guideline and requirement are sometimes met with unnecessary force. The story of Daniel Shaver is one particularly tragic example. Shaver was shot and killed by police responding to a report that a rifle was seen in his hotel window. The rifle in question was found to be a pellet gun that he utilized frequently as part of his job. The news is filled of stories like Shaver’s, where police — for whatever reason — misused their powers that resulted in terrible consequences. However, we oftentimes don’t hear the the stories events like the Frederiksen Court incident. We don’t hear about the stories where police had a measured response, gathered as much information as possible before a confrontation and were able to diffuse a tense situation without bodily harm to anyone. Iowa State police deserves commendation for the way they handled this situation, and we should hear more about incidents that were resolved in a professional manner.

errors (11 by Iowa State) and 30 attack errors as on the night, which Johnson-Lynch partially attributed to the nerves that come with a big-game environment. If the Cyclones were nervous, then those errors were their only tell. The entire team showed consistent poise throughout the night, even as UNI staged a rally in the third set. “We were expecting a battle,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Obviously that third set was big, and if UNI had won that, I would’ve been a little concerned how we would’ve come back out of that.” The Cyclones were able to weather that storm, however, thanks to contributions from both their experienced and new players. Building off solid debuts last weekend, young players like Eleanor Holthaus, Piper Mauck and Brooke Anderson were instrumental in securing a key early-season win. Anderson, in her first career start, gave the Cyclones five kills and two assists on the night. Mauck, meanwhile, added in 40 assists and three kills. For Holthaus, her performance was arguably the Cyclones’ best on the night. The true freshman from Richmond, Minnesota finished with 12 kills and a .435 hitting percentage, thanks in no

What do cherry juice and dark chocolate have to do with college soccer? The sport of soccer is so heavily dictated by endurance and health. The Iowa State soccer team saw it when it had to play Purdue last Sunday in considerable heat, and they’ll see it again this weekend as they travel to Colorado to take on Denver on Friday, and Colorado on Sunday. “He has a theory that cherry juice and dark chocolate is the way to go,” said redshirt sophomore midfielder Marin Daniel about coach Tony Minatta. Maybe Minatta is onto something. “We just need to make sure we are doing proper recovery on Saturday,” Minatta said. Minatta is from Colorado, so he knows how this can affect players, and will probably be able to handle that well. He went on to say that the Sunday game will be tougher because everyone will be used to the altitude change, while Friday won’t have that problem. Just like the Purdue game, the team expects to see a heavy dose of substitutions to keep players fresh on Sunday. Dayja Schwichtenberg, the team’s sophomore goaltender, will not need a substitution, so she needs to be at her best if the team wants to end the recent misfortune. “I think it’s going to take staying focused defensively in the first five minutes and last five minutes of each half,” Schwichtenberg said. Schwichtenberg has been solid this year so far, but has not enjoyed the final five minutes of each half. Schwichtenberg will need to trust her defense this weekend — especially with the increased substitution count. Senior midfielder and co-captain Emily Steil talked about the effects of the altitude as well and cited Minatta’s affinity for cherry juice and dark chocolate to help with the altitude shift, but on a more serious note, she explained what it will take to stay healthy this weekend. “More than anything, taking care of our bodies,” Steil said. Steil has been a force this year for the Cyclones and after a few tough losses, Iowa State will need to use Minatta’s expertise and Steil’s leadership eff ectively as they head to the challenging climate. “Keep grinding,” Steil said. Iowa State’s weekend kicks off at 8 p.m. Friday against Denver. Th e game against Colorado begins Sunday at 1 p.m.

small part to her and the team’s ability to tune out the crowd noise. “We really just dialed in and focused on what we needed to do,” Holthaus said. “It helps having the upperclassmen there, they’re great role models to us and are there for us to help calm us down.” Given that the Cyclones play in the Big 12 Conference, where big crowds are the norm, Holthaus said it was good to get the experience of playing in a tough environment out of the way early. “It just shows that crowds on the road will be big,” Holthaus said. “For us, we want to try and match that energy so we can push ourselves forward and succeed that way.” Like big crowds, the Cyclones’ upcoming schedule features something else that the team will have to get used to: playing multiple matches in a given week. Following an off day Thursday, Iowa State will travel to Missoula, Montana for the Montana Invitation, where they’ll play two matches on Friday and one Saturday. Although it’s obviously not ideal to play four games in three days, senior outside hitter Jess Schaben said that the quick turnaround will be good preparation for the team’s postseason tournaments later in the season. “Going in with that mindset and getting ready for that already is a good thing,” Schaben said. “It’ll be a good test for us.”

Style points don’t matter in week one

EMILY BLOBAUM/ IOWA STATE DAILY

BY AARON.MARNER @iowastatedaily.com Let’s be real: Iowa State has had its fair share of terrible opening weeks. Just two short years ago, in coach Matt Campbell’s first year, the Cyclones fell to Northern Iowa, 25-20. In 2014, North Dakota State (led by future NFL quarterback Carson Wentz) marched into Jack Trice Stadium and won by 20. It’s hard to look at any season-opening game for Iowa State (or any Iowa State game at all, for that matter) and say it’s a lock. Nothing drains the hype entering college football season like dropping the first game of the year to an Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) opponent. And because of that, Cyclone fans, just be happy with a win this week, even if it doesn’t look pretty. For the record, I think Iowa State wins — convincingly, I might add, and you can check out my full prediction in Friday’s Gridiron section — but South Dakota State is no slouch. Remember last year’s game against Northern Iowa? You probably don’t remember it very well, because it was a comfortable, relatively uneventful win for Iowa State. UNI scored on its opening possession, but by the end of the first quarter, Iowa State held a lead it would keep — and extend — for the rest of the game. Never mind the fact that Iowa State only outgained the Panthers by 27 total yards, or that the Cyclones racked up seven penalties for 74 yards, or even how the Iowa State rushing attack mustered just 3.8 yards per carry against an FCS defense. The point is that Iowa State won, and nobody cares anymore about the rest of those details. The Cyclones didn’t play perfect football in week one, and they didn’t need to play perfect football. No Cyclone fan that I know looks back on the 2017 season opener with disappointment. That’s the lesson for this year, too. At the end of the day, an ugly win is still a win. Campbell won’t love an ugly win and neither will the players. But with such a tough first-half schedule, a new receiving corps and defensive secondary and a revamped offensive coaching staff, there will be bumps in the road. Maybe the best example is David Montgomery. You know, the junior running back who last year, as a sophomore, was first team All-Big 12 by ESPN, the Associated Press and the coaches. He ran for a grand total of 82 yards against Northern Iowa last season. Eighty-two total rushing yards. Granted, this was on only 14 carries, but 82 yards was only Montgomery’s 7th best total of the season and it was his lowest total of Iowa State’s three non-conference games. Again, this was against an FCS opponent that allowed over 125 rushing yards per game. The recipe for Iowa State to have a successful week one is pretty simple: don’t suffer major injuries, find a way to eke out a victory and fix the inevitable problems before week two’s matchup with Iowa. A 1-point win is still a win. Iowa State has the potential to make something special happen in 2018. That won’t happen if the train falls off the tracks in week one.

While the new policy has already been approved and will unlikely change, trademark officials plan to work with student organizations throughout the transition. Landon Wolfe, SCC advisor, met with officials briefly to voice the confusion many clubs faced. “[Last week] was the first time [the students] had heard any of the new policies. So, there were plenty of questions,” Wolfe said. “I feel lucky that [the trademark officials] have worked with our sport clubs.” Yesterday Wolfe explained the guidelines to the clubs during the weekly SCC meeting. With the implementation of an SCC patch, clubs will be able to use trademarked images and words for competitive gear. “Originally it was solely uniforms that were going to be able to use the Sport Club Council mark and then drop the “club” of the end of the name,” said Wolfe. “Some of our sport clubs don’t necessarily have a uniform that it works with, [for example], the ballroom dance club and wrestling robes.” According to L eesha Zimmerman, Director of Trademark Licensing at Iowa State, SCC clubs will use the patch as a replacement for the word “club.” For example, instead of uniforms saying “Swimming Club at Iowa State,” with the use of the patch, the uniforms can say “Iowa State Swimming.” Events such as Rodeo Clubs “Cyclone Stampede” will be allowed to keep the trademarked words in their name, as long as it is clear the event is sponsored by SCC. Zimmerman said that she along with other trademark officials will be meeting with different clubs throughout the month to explain the guidelines and clear any confusion.

WILLA COLVILLE/ IOWA STATE DAILY Sen. Sam Freestone voiced his concerns with the new trademark policy to university officials at the Student Government meeting Wednesday. Freestone introduced a controversial resolution regarding trademark at the previous meeting.

Freestone asked if longstanding organizations and events will be grandfathered in or if they have been considered with the writing of this policy. According to Norton, this aspect of the policy is still being worked on and officials are working with those organizations to find a resolution. Norton expressed to the Student Government that they are partially to blame for the policy as he said they had a voice in the process of the policy being written. “This is on you partially — you need to go back to students and say ‘we were involved’,” Norton said.

Sen. Michael Tupper countered that having only one representative for the voice of students on a campus of 35,000 is not proportionate and does not accurately give a voice to the students. Norton said that the university needs control, and that a lack of control can make the university lose the trademark on a federal level: “If we give up control, we lose control.” The resolution regarding the trademark policy was discussed for several hours due to many senators’ concerns with the language being too harsh and aggressive. “I, too, think the wording of the bill is rather harsh and detrimental to the cause that Freestone is advocating for, which I think is noble,” said Speaker Cody Woodruff. “But I

do think the language is a bit much.” The point was also brought up by Woodruff that the resolution denouncing the trademark policy calls for the termination of the author of the policy, and the massive implications and ramifications of this bill with that in it. “This resolution calls for and could potentially result in a termination,” Woodruff said. “We are potentially talking about taking away someone’s job, someone’s livelihood, someone who calls themselves a Cyclone.” The resolution was killed at the meeting tonight, but senators are looking forward to continue to discuss this issue, and rewrite a resolution as they felt that the language in the current bill was too large of an issue to move forward.
