‘DISAPPOINTING AND DISRUPTIVE’

Courses transition online amid COVID-19 pandemic

ONLINE

LBERS N BY M ARIA A

University officials discussed the details of online instruction for all Iowa State classes following spring break. The media availability Wednesday came after the university’s decision to move all classes online from March 23 through April 3 after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 as a global pandemic. “We know that many of our students will be disappointed by this decision but it is important to note that this change is disruptive not only to students and their families, but also to our faculty and staff here on campus,” said Jonathan Wickert, senior vice president and provost. “However, we are very confident that we are making the very best decision and the right decision for Iowa

State by putting the safety and well-being of our students, faculty and staff as our overriding priority.” Students may wonder what their coursework will look like in the upcoming weeks. They should expect more detailed information before March 23 about their classes, according to President Wendy Wintersteen’s statement announcing classes are to move online. W intersteen said in the email that they know how “disappointing and disruptive” the decision to transition courses to online was, but it was made in consultation with the Board of Regents out of caution. “Our Center for Excellence and Learning and Teaching, as well as online learning

NCAA and Big 12 make decisions on fans at games BY MATT.BELINSON AND ZANE.DOUGLAS @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State played in front of fans Wednesday in its first game of the Big 12 Tournament as the Big 12 allowed fans to attend the tournament games Wednesday, despite the emerging COVID-19 concerns around the country. After Wednesday, fans will not be allowed to attend the tournament. Iowa State played at 6 p.m. Wednesday

against Oklahoma State in the first game of the tournament with both teams looking to advance to another day. The game was played in front of the usual number of fans. Nationally, NCAA President Mark Emmert announced Wednesday afternoon in a press release that all NCAA postseason tournaments will be held without fans in attendance. Only “essential staff and limited family attendance” will be allowed attendance at the events outside of the competing teams. At the time of this report, there is no indication

if media is considered a part of the “essential staff.” The announcement comes as COVID-19 has spread to at least 1,000 confirmed cases in the U.S. and at least 118,000 cases worldwide according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The spread of COVID-19 forced multiple Division I conferences to shut down conference tournaments altogether or hold tournaments without fans in attendance.

The announcement of banning all fans in attendance will impact the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament and the NCAA Wrestling Tournament, which was originally scheduled to take place in Minneapolis at U.S. Bank Stadium March 19-21.

Fad diets and effects on health The weight loss trend is only a temporary fix BY EMERSON.LATHAM @iowastatedaily.com Fad diets are a big weight loss trend. What some don’t know is that they are only a temporary fix in most cases and likely poor for your health. Some of these diets include the ketogenic diet, Paleolithic diet and intermittent fasting. The ketogenic, or keto diet, is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that forces the body to burn fat instead of carbohydrates. This diet is also used to treat epilepsy in children. The Paleolithic diet, or paleo diet, also referred to as the caveman diet, is the consumption of foods presumed to be eaten by humans in the Paleolithic era. These foods include fish, meat, fruits and vegetables. Processed products as well as dairy and grain are excluded. Intermittent fasting is not focused on what you eat, but when you eat. Depending on what intermittent fasting schedule a person follows, the diet breaks up their hours or days into eating periods and fasting periods. Matthew Rowling, associate professor in food science and human nutrition, said his initial reaction to these diets are they are terrible for you. Rowling said the keto diet robs you from the nutrients that feed your brain. “ Yo u a r e m i s s i n g o u t o n

nutrient-dense foods,” Rowling said. “At the same time they are putting in their body things that are known to promote cardiovascular disease.” The keto diet helps children with epilepsy because the ketone bodies that are produced in ketogenesis slow down the neural activity that causes seizures, Rowling said. There is a higher risk of cardiovascular disease with these types of foods. “When people go keto, they’re depriving themselves of carbohydrates, which taste good,” Rowling said. “When they eat the proteins and those types of things, they are not going for bland chicken breasts. They are going to eat more fatty types of foods cause it tastes better. They need that sensation.” Student Wellness dietician Lisa Nolting works one-on-one with Iowa State students who have a variety of needs regarding nutrition. Nolting also coordinates the campus eating disorders treatment team and supervises a group of peer wellness educators who do health promotion and prevention programs. Nolting said she considers herself a weight- neutral dietician, which means she doesn’t view weight loss or weight gain as positive or negative. She said her job is more of a way to figure out how to help someone eat in a way that makes them feel healthy and happy. When students doing these fad diets go to Nolting for help, her initial reaction is to ask why—what is driving the student to do this, what is the student hoping to achieve, where is the student getting their information from and many more questions so she can evaluate the situation. “Part of my job as a dietician is to do an assessment to find out what’s going on overall medically as well as socially

COURTESY OF ISTOCK According to the National Weight Control Registry, 50 percent of people regain all weight lost on a diet plan within two years. Fad diets can make weight loss physically unhealthy.

and emotionally,” Nolting said. Nolting said when people are doing any type of diet that’s not intuitive, something where they’re using external cues to guide their food choices, 95 percent of the time they will regain

that weight. With these diets come problems. When someone is constantly losing and gaining back weight, their hormones fluctuate. It is not good for the body or the mind.

Nolting said she sees that when people go on keto diet, they are missing out on carbohydrates so they have very low energy.These people also have trouble sleeping at night because the body is not able to produce melatonin. When people go off the paleo diet and reintroduce certain foods into their system, like dairy or grains, they might have some gastrointestinal distress. With intermittent fasting, the dieters are so used to fasting throughout the day that it might take some time for them to retrain their hunger and fullness. Paige Green is a registered dietician for Hy-Vee. She assists people with their diet plans and overall health goals. “These diets are very black and white. Eliminate these food groups and eat only these,” Green said. “Or, keep carbs to this specific number, or don’t eat until this time. When diets give out strong rules, such as the three mentioned, people get hooked.” Green said people will experience weight loss anytime more processed foods and sugars are cut from their daily food intake. It is important to talk to a dietitian and figure out some food alternatives or supplements to aid where your diet has been lacking. Rowling, Nolting and Green recommend staying away from these fad diets and finding professional help if you are looking to lose weight. Participating in these fad diets create a bad relationship between the consumer and food. It is best to get a professional’s opinion when wanting to lose weight or eat healthier.

International Student Circle provides community for international students BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com Student Wellness provides space and snacks as a way to build a community for international students. This program is called International Student Circle and is an eight week long program where international students can come together. “International Student Circle is a student-led program,” said Brian Vanderheyden, director of Student Wellness. “This is open to all undergraduate, graduate and professional international students. It is a warm and inviting space to connect with other international students, build a sense of community and belonging, and learn strategies to improve your overall well-being and success as a student. It is a fun, relaxing atmosphere to connect with others. The circles involve a mix of fun activities, discussion and education.” Vanderheyden said the program was started this semester and launched on March 5, with a run of eight weeks. It takes place from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. every Thursday in International Nest Space, Parks Library room 034, until the end of the semester. The sessions usually last an hour. “Peer-to-peer programming is an effective way for students to be able to connect and dialogue about important issues and topics that impact them as well

as learn resources and information about well-being from our trained peer leaders,” Vanderheyden said. Vanderheyden said all students would benefit from participating in the International Student Circle. He said the sessions are open for all international undergraduate, graduate and professional students. “Students will learn strategies to enhance well-being, like stress reduction, mindfulness, etc., they will learn information about resources and they will engage in connection activities to meet new people and build relationships,” Vanderheyden said. He said sessions are a comfortable and lounge-type setting and each session focuses on a different topic area. There are a mix of activities and discussions during the session. Vanderheyden said all the sessions are free and students also receive a free journal when they attend and free refreshments are usually available. “O ur data shows that student belonging and well-being is critical for student success, academic performance and overall development,” Vanderheyden said. “This program focuses on enhancing those areas for students so they can thrive at ISU.” The upcoming International Student Circle sessions go from March 12 to April 30.

U.S. Strategic Command Conference at Iowa State for the first time BY JAKE.WEBSTER @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State played host to the start of the 2020 Deterrence and Assurance Academic Alliance Workshop and Conference on Wednesday, the first time the conference took place outside of Nebraska. “It is my great pleasure to welcome all of you to the 2020 Deterrence and Assurance Academic Conference and Workshop here on the campus of Iowa State University,” said Beate Schmittmann, dean of the Liberal Arts and Sciences Administration. “ We are delighted to see you, we are delighted that Iowa State University was

selected to be the host of this institution and we look forward to two days of very impactful and meaningful conversations and discussions.” This is the fifth year of the workshop and conference. Gov. Kim Reynolds delivered opening remarks, welcoming the attendees to Iowa. “It truly is an honor to welcome such a distinguished group of leaders to the state of Iowa for the U.S. Strategic Command’s fifth annual Academic Alliance Conference and Workshop,” Reynolds said. “So as you heard, this is the first time this international conference on deterrence and assurance has been held outside of Nebraska, so we are very excited to host you in Iowa.” Various panels took place Monday with Iowa State faculty and invited faculty from various institutions alongside staff from U.S. Strategic Command and U.S. Cyber Command. Doug Jacobson, university professor of

electrical and computer engineering, said he would speak on a panel on cybersecurity. “Iowa State has a very large cybersecurity program both at the grad and undergrad level, [it is] interdisciplinary with departments ranging from political science to math to engineering,” Jacobson said. “So we have a long history working in the area of cybersecurity.” Elizabeth Durham-Ruiz, director of Command, Control, Communications and Computer Systems, chief information officer and director of the Nuclear Command, Control and Communications Enterprise Center at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, was set to speak on the panel alongside Jacobson.

In order to receive health care under Iowa’s Medicaid program, thousands of Iowans would need to meet volunteer or work requirements if a current bill were to become law. Medicaid currently helps 650,000 poor and disabled Iowans. Senate File 2366 would require able-bodied people to participate in a work program, comply with the PROMISE JOBS program or volunteer at least 20 hours a week. This bill includes exceptions for individuals that are: -Pregnant -A caregiver of a child under 6 years old, a child that is dependent on a caregiver or an elderly person. -Enrolled in an educational institution -Seeking drug addiction or alcohol treatment rehabilitation -And other exemptions based on education, childcare, rehabilitation and others Sen. Jason Schultz, R-Schleswig, said the bill will encourage contributing back to the community. “Iowa has had one of the lowest unemployment levels for over two years. If we are ever going to help those caught in a cycle of dependency to better their lives, this is it,” Schultz said. “I believe if 100 percent of taxpayers have to work to fund the program, then we can ask for 100 percent of the able-bodied recipients to do something to contribute back to their community.” Sen. Pam Jochum, D-Dubuque, said individuals that think the bill is encouraging giving back to the community are “sadly mistaken.” Jochum said bills regarding Medicaid work

Biden campaign on upswing after victories BY KYLEE.HAUETER @iowastatedaily.com Prior to the Feb. 22 Nevada caucus, former Vice President Joe Biden had a poor showing in Iowa and New Hampshire, finishing fourth and fifth respectively. Dirk Deam, associate teaching professor of political science, said Biden’s campaign will continue to grow. “Unless something weird happens [...] Biden is going to be hard to beat,” Deam said. Biden finished second in Nevada, still trailing Sen. Bernie Sanders by 26.6 percent in county delegates. Despite the deficit, this second place finish was a surprise, given the disappointing results in the previous two contests. In South Carolina, things began to turn around for the former vice president. Biden finished first in the state’s

primary, leaving Sanders behind by 28.3 percent. After the South Carolina primary and two days before Super Tuesday, former Democratic presidential hopefuls Sen. Amy Klobuchar and former Mayor Pete Buttigieg dropped out and shortly thereafter endorsed Biden. According to Biden’s campaign, these endorsements were instrumental in the Super Tuesday performance that Biden produced on March 3. Super Tuesday results saw Biden beating Sanders in 10 out of the 14 states that hosted primaries, notably in Texas where Sanders had led in most polls. The largest demographic Biden has been successful in reaching out to is black voters. This especially propelled Biden to victory in the South, where he won the support of 71 percent of black voters, according to exit polls

from NPR. According to the same exit polls, Biden also had fairly strong support from older members of the Latino community, the younger Latinos choosing to vote instead for Sanders.

Julia Krieger, regional communications director for Biden’s presidential campaign, said the diversity of his support is also key to his victories. “Joe Biden has the broad coalition of support that is reflected in diverse

states like South Carolina, Virginia and Texas, which reflect the face of our party and our country,” Krieger said. All three states were won by Hillary Clinton in the 2016 primaries, who eventually became the party’s nominee. “[Biden] proved on Super Tuesday that Americans from all backgrounds and regions are passionate about uniting our party and our country to save the soul of this nation,” Krieger said. Biden expanded on his Super Tuesday wins with victories in Michigan, Idaho, Missouri and Mississippi, according to Associated Press projections. These results further grew the delegate gap between him and Sanders. The former vice president leads Sanders by 20 percent, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average of likely Democratic primary voters nationally.

Take time for yourself to sit and relax BY PEYTON.HAMEL @iowastatedaily.com We need to take more time to breathe and relax for ourselves, by ourselves. We surround ourselves with people nearly all day, whether that be during classes, labs, part-time jobs or at home with roommates. Do college students ever stop hustling and bustling to sit and debrief ? To recollect themselves? To relax? No, not a lot of the time. Essentially, college students are human squirrels. We shake, shiver and really have no sense of what we are doing at any point in time. We never really rest, at least not that much anyway. We always search for food and run in circles because…do we ever know where we are going? Stress is a healthy stimulus at a certain level, but past that level stress is counter-productive. Stress promotes various mental health issues, which is especially prevalent on college campuses. A 2014 survey found that 33 percent of students surveyed reported having suffered from serious depression. A 2016 study reported that 39 percent of students were struggling with at least one mental illness, according to Healthline. A whopping one-third of college students have anxiety, depression or another mental illness. Of course, the roots of mental illnesses stem from too many to cover in a column; however, I can focus on one of them: relaxation. A balance is necessary between being productive and being relaxed, but why can’t

SARAH HENRY/ IOWA STATE DAILY Columnist Peyton Hamel suggests that Iowa State students should focus on self-care and self-belief above anything else.

we count being relaxed as productive? Try to balance the following: work, social and relaxation. This is the big mystery. While socializing can be relaxing, I do believe being by yourself is a more productive way of relaxing (unless you are participating in solo activities in a group such as yoga). There is a certain peace associated with knowing how to be by yourself and make yourself happy. We become more co-dependent in college because we have people around us all the time. Even at home, we have roommates (if you live in the dorms,

you come home to someone living in your home space). If you know how to be happy by yourself, you might as well be able to conquer the world too. Relaxing can include satisfying your cravings, watching that show you put on hold for two weeks, sitting outside and letting the sunshine warm your skin, taking that nap or even drawing in a coloring book. Your relaxation aesthetic is individual to you and puts your mind, body and soul back on track. Take care of yourself. It is the best possible

thing you can do for you! It leads to success, focus and overall, happiness. You take care of you and the rest will follow. We so often forget about taking care of ourselves that we let ourselves wither and dry away into the business of life. It’s one of the biggest mistakes we can make yet we make it all the time.

Continue to live in the moment BY ISD EDITORIAL BOARD @iowastatedaily.com Living in the moment seems to have been put on the back burner while this fiasco of a week comes to a blooming vision of unknown. For our own safety and to avoid panic, we are told to focus on our classes and live in the now, even though our futures are painstakingly unclear with the slowing spread of COVID-19. What a time to be a college student, right? Don’t forget that it is your wellness and safety is priority, but that should not deter how you live your life and how you choose to be happy. We are forgetting to live in the now. Yes, please do wash your hands and take those extra measures to maintain an extra sanitary environment so that you and others, especially those who are more prone to illness, can be healthy. We recognize how stressful these times can be, which means it is that much more important that you take the time to care for yourself and live in the moment. Do what you enjoy to take the edge off, and take care of those around you who are especially uncertain. Now, more than ever, would be a great time to bond with your community and do something you all enjoy. Spend time with and take care of your peers, especially those who are out-of-state or international. They are farther from home and probably need to do more fun activities.

worries about online classes and what will happen after the two week interim period, but we do recognize that living in the now is more important than ever. Do not get too caught up in the future. The faculty and staff of the university are doing their absolute best to find the most accommodating possible solution for all students in regards to health and safety. They have a lot on their plate and will take care of you. We have no doubt that they will provide for any student in need. Keep focusing on your classes and appreciate the now, but make sure that you are staying sanitary! We know there is talk about whether this issue is too precautionary or righton-the-dot. The reality is this: we don’t really know, and no one really does. At

least we are at an institution that is willing to protect us and keep us safe. What more could we ask for? Worrying about the future is the job of the faculty, not ours, at the moment anyway. Keep the future in mind, but do not let it consume your thoughts too much. Besides, how will you be spending your spring break? You have a whole week off so that you can enjoy your free time before we switch to two weeks of online classes. (That also means you have a lot more time to enjoy what you want to enjoy, more or less on your own terms). Stay updated, but attempt to stay off your phone and enjoy the cool air, nice weather and people around you. Do not let the chaos of life take away from you and your happy moments.

Jackson also gave away four turnovers leading to a couple easy buckets for Oklahoma State. The second half seemed to be going right for the Cyclones as

they rode on the back of Nixon to a sizable lead. A 15-2 run where Nixon made four straight baskets gave the Cyclones a 47-38 lead with over 15 minutes left in

the half. Nixon was fi lling in as the primary ballhandler behind sophomore Rasir Bolton when Bolton was ruled out for his second straight

game in concussion protocol. Th e senior almost helped fi ght off his last game for another day with a red-hot second half. Nixon was on fire in the second half with 16 points on 7-14 shooting including 2-6 from three. Despite the onslaught, Oklahoma State kept it close and cut the lead to one multiple times toward the conclusion of the game. Iowa State was on the ropes, but a dunk from junior Terrence Lewis with eight seconds left gave Iowa State a 71-70 advantage. Isaac Likekele dribbled the length of the floor in five seconds to give Oklahoma State a 72-71 lead and Iowa State couldn’t score to take the lead back, giving the Cowboys a 72-71 win. Likekele led the Cowboys in scoring with 21 points and was instrumental down the stretch, leading the charge in the comeback eff ort. He also added nine assists and five rebounds. Iowa State’s season ended on Wednesday in the loss.

NCAA Wrestling brackets set BY STEPHEN.MCDANIEL @iowastatedaily.com The NCAA hosted the selection show for the 2020 NCAA Wrestling Championships on Wednesday. The NCAA Championships will be held at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Coming off a runner-up performance in the 125-pound finals at the Big 12 Championships, the No. 12-seeded Alex Mackall is slated to face off with No. 21 Justin Cardani of Illinois. At 133, Iowa State’s lone at-large bid, No. 24 Todd Small will get a Sundevil Dual rematch with No. 9 Noah Gonser of Campbell. The last meeting between Small and Gonser saw the two decide things in a sudden victor y period, where Gonser recorded the match-winning takedown on Small. Ian Parker claimed the No. 4 seed in the 141 bracket and is set to face Oregon State’s No. 29 seeded Grant Willits. This isn’t the first time that Parker and Willits have met before. The two faced off in Oregon during

last season’s dual between the Cyclones and the Beavers, where Willits defeated Parker in a 9-4 decision. In a week, Willits will be going up against a Parker that’s coming off a Big 12 tournament that saw him defeat No. 5 Dom Demas in sudden victory two during the 141 finals. No. 8 Jarrett Degen (149) will be facing off with an unfamiliar foe in No. 25 Hunter Richard of Cornell. Degen has been dealing with recent issues of his shoulder occasionally popping out, which may cause problems for the returning All-American. The highest seeded wrestler for the Cyclones is redshirt freshman David Carr (157), who holds the No. 3 seed after becoming Iowa State’s second Big 12 title holder. Carr is set to face Lock Haven’s No. 30 Alexander Klucker. No. 31 Chase Straw stole the last auto bid for the NCAA Tournament, but had one of the roughest draws out of all of the Cyclones making the trip to Minneapolis. Straw’s opening opponent is the No. 2 seeded Vincenzo Joseph of Penn State, who

is coming off a runner-up performance in the Big 10 Tournament and is contending for the NCAA title at 165. Questions arise at 174, as No. 13 Sam Colbray is set to face No. 20 Connor Flynn of Missouri. Colbray finished in fourth place after injury defaulting to Oklahoma State’s Joe Smith in the third place match in the Big 12 Tournament. Colbray is in a similar position as pre-Big 12 Tournament Todd Small, where he’ll be held off the mat for a few days, but is fully expected to compete during the NCAAs. No. 23 Marcus Coleman will also be

facing an unfamiliar opponent in No. 10 seeded Nino Bonaccorsi of Pittsburgh. The last Cyclone competing in Minneapolis is No. 11 seeded Gannon Gremmel, who will face North Carolina State’s No. 22 Deonte Wilson. Gremmel is coming off a second place performance at the Big 12 Tournament, falling to Wyoming’s Brian Andrews. The 2020 NCAA Championships go from March 19-21 in U.S. Bank Stadium. The NCAA recently called for restricted access that’s limited to essential staff and limited family due to concern of COVID-19.

Serving pies and laughter ‘Waitress’ musical to show at Stephens BY LYDIA.WEDE @iowastatedaily.com The cast of “Waitress” will be serving up pies and laughter Thursday at Stephens Auditorium. “Waitress” is a Broadway musical that follows Jenna, a waitress, pie baker and mother, as she tries to escape her abusive marriage and start over. When she finds out she is pregnant, she turns to her gynecologist for help. To cope with her situation, Jenna bakes her emotions into her creatively named pies and enters a baking competition. Throughout the rest of the show, Jenna and her friends learn about love and friendship. The company that will be bringing us “Waitress” travels to many other auditoriums throughout the

country. While these actors and the crew are of Broadway-level caliber, it can be strenuous to constantly be on the road. Every stage is different from the last, so adjustments are constantly being made to the dance scenes, blocking and other theatrical aspects. Additionally, being on the move can be incredibly tiring, leading actors to take naps whenever possible. However, these demanding roles can lead to a stronger bond within the members of the company. Michael Douglass, an actor playing the role of Joe, describes the relationship of the cast as better than most he’s been a

part of. “You’re all in it together,” Douglass said. “You’re all fighting the same battle to make the show as good as possible.” The role of Joe is very personal for Douglass. Joe is the owner of the diner where Jenna works. He is often considered to be a cold-hearted character who grows to be a significant person of support for Jenna. Douglass uses his personal experiences to motivate his character. “I have daughters around Jenna’s age, and I feel a real connection to that, especially being on the road away with them,” Douglass said. “It makes for a

pretty strong connection that I think really shows.” “Waitress” is considered appropriate for teens but not for young children due to the adult themes within the musical. One of the major plot points regards Jenna’s marriage and how the relationship becomes toxic. For younger audiences, this can be very shocking and confusing. Some scenes also show adultery and profane language. “It is funny, but there is a serious core to it that matters passionately to the people who wrote it,” Douglass said. The writers of “Waitress” add to the appeal of the show. “Waitress” made history as the first Broadway musical with the four creative roles—writer, composer, director and choreographer—being women. This trend carries over to the touring cast as well. “I think it was pretty deliberate,” Douglass said. “That female point of view is unique to the musical.” For those interested in watching the musical “Waitress,” the curtains will open for only one performance at 7 p.m. Thursday at Stephens Auditorium. Tickets start at $50 each.

REVIEW

‘Pokémon Mystery Dungeon’ fail Game doesn’t live up to past BY MERGARET.TROUP @iowastatedaily.com Nintendo’s “Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX” offers a less-than-stellar remake to the original. “Rescue Team DX” is a remake of the 2005 games “Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team” and “Red Rescue Team,” originally made for the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance, respectively.

The 2020 remake of these games follow the same style of gameplay by leading Pokémon through dungeons, collecting items and capturing Pokémon. With only a few new elements scattered here and there, “Rescue Team DX” fails to do its predecessors justice. The main complaint from multiple game reviewers is the repetitiveness of each dungeon. While “Rescue Team DX”may have a dungeon-crawler style of game play, that is no excuse for lackluster content. In dungeon-crawling games, paying attention to one’s inventory and the lifesaving items contained in that inventory is vital to keeping all of the player’s Pokémon alive. That being said, “Rescue Team DX” is incredibly unforgiving in its inventory system. The player has a limited amount of space available

in the inventory to hold items before going into a dungeon, therefore there is even less space to hold items that are collected while in the dungeon. While dungeon exploring should be fun, players mostly find themselves preparing for the worst case scenario in that they completely run out of items. Another frustrating element in the dungeons are the non-playable characters (NPC) that seem to attack at random. While there is an availability of eight Pokémon to have in one’s team, four more than the original games, it can become difficult to maneuver around the cramped dungeons. Pokémon on the player’s team follow the lead Pokémon, controlled by the player, in a single file line. This can add up to a long line forming behind the player, which attracts enemy NPC’s who attack the Pokémon at the end of the line, making it difficult to go and help the stragglers in the back. When it comes to combat in “Rescue Team DX”, there is once again some action left to be desired. Each Pokémon on the player’s team has a set number of four attack moves they can perform during combat. The way to learn new moves is not apparent, the player must visit the move trainer to learn more. One plus side to the combat is that every Pokémon in the team levels up at the same time. If the player mainly uses the first three Pokémon on their rescue team and levels them up rapidly, even the least used Pokémon on their team will be at the same level as the rest. While “Rescue Team DX” appears to be a disappointment overall, there are a few silver linings. One major improvement from the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance games is the art style. The design of this remake looks like a beautiful combination of oil paintings as well as classic story books. There is at least one artwork on screen at all times that gives the player something pleasant to look at. The soundtrack to “Rescue Team DX” is another major plus. The unique songs of each dungeon are beautiful and catchy. The original games’ composer, Arata Iiyoshi, clearly set a bar for composers to aspire to, which they passed with flying colors.

Events affected by switch to online classes BY ALEXANDER.GRAY AND TREVOR.BABCOCK @iowastatedaily.com Some events on campus have been canceled and delayed, while others wil l continue as planned after Iowa State’s recent decision to move coursework online March 23 through April 3. Iowa State is evaluating all large events on campus scheduled during the period of online instruction, President Wendy Wintersteen said in an email. Some events have already been canceled or postponed. Cancellations and closures will be updated on Iowa State’s website. Canceled events between March 23 and April 5 include the Global Gala on March 27, ISU AfterDark on April 3, Grandma Mojo’s improv performances on Wednesdays and Open Mic Nights on Tuesdays. “Cyc lone Cinema will be cancelled for those two weeks as well,” said Kristin Erdman, associate director for student activities at the Memor ial Union, in an email. “We still plan to show ‘Charlie’s Angels’ this weekend and plan to start it up again with ‘Frozen II’ on April 9.” The Workspace is still determining their schedule. Jim Brockpahler, program coordinator for the Memorial Union, said the Student Union Board (SUB) would be working closely with the university to determine the status of SUB’s upcoming spring semester events. Concert performances at the Maintenance Shop are still s c h e d u l e d , i n c l u d i n g T i ny Moving Parts on March 3, Bad Bad Hats on March 26, Chris Renzema on March 28 and The Backseat Lovers on April 1.

offices in each of our academic colleges are working beginning now to assist faculty with migrating their classes to online format,” Wickert said. “I would note that 63 percent of the courses being taught this semester already have a presence on Canvas, which is our electronic learning management system and that serves as a stable platform for us to scale up over the coming time period.” Wickert said Parks Library and many college units have a supply of laptops that are available for students to check out and take with them. Edith Kocher-Cowan, senior in mechanical engineering, said one of her labs focuses on heat transfer and obtaining raw data from the experiments. She said she is wondering how the lab will be laid out online, though she predicts the professor of the lab will give the class the data rather than the students figuring out themselves. “We wouldn’t get to do the experiment, which the whole point of a lab is to see it for yourself to kind of prove to yourself that it works,” Kocher-Cowan said. “So we would just kind of be like, trusting that the data [given] is correct.” Along with the coursework, some students have said they are worried for their events planned for later in the semester. “The main reason why, at least for me where I went to college, is because not only did I want a degree but I wanted to get involved, I wanted to get that hands-on experience,” said Ani Yam, sophomore in industrial engineering and events chair

IISE had plans to go to the IISE North Central Regional Conference April 2 through April 4, which Yam said will have to be postponed. “So I know what [Iowa State is] doing is precautionary,” Yam said. “I think I mean it is hard on everyone. But I think the university wants what’s best for us.” Erin Baldwin, assistant vice president for Student Affairs and director of Thielen Student Health Center, said the university will reassess the situation during the week of March 30. They will look at the status and spread of COVID-19 at that time, which may result in the time period of online classes being extended. “O ur Iowa State residence halls and apartments will remain open,” Baldwin said. “But students who wish to remain in university housing through April 3 are required to request approval by contacting the Department of Residence via an online form.” Baldwin said they are encouraging students to go home and remain there if they have the ability to do so. She acknowledged students are from all over the world, which is why she said they are maintaining the option to stay on campus in residence halls. Dining halls will provide services, though limited, as there will be less students on campus.

I love the people who designed the system, I was part of some of those teams, but I really want to make sure that we get people out there who think about how we can do this differently.” Some of the systems in U.S. Strategic Command, while still functioning, were designed in the 1970s and 1980s, DurhamRuiz said. “[They were] very robustly designed but still they need to be upgraded like everything else does,” Durham-Ruiz said. “So still functioning today, upgrading for modern capabilities and we’re working right now very hard on how we can actually design the system

Michael Newton, Iowa S tate Police Department chief, said at the media availability they have been working with their emergency operation center and community partners to talk through how to best respond to the situation. “ The situation around our events on campus does still remain dynamic and additional changes will happen throughout the coming days and week,” Newton said. Topics the campus is working on and considering, Newton said, include the remaining spring study abroad programs, domestic travel for university business, commencement and orientation. “ We are in regular contact with other universities in the state, in the Midwest and really around the country, in terms of the best practices for responding to what is a very dynamic environment,” Wickert said. “The practices that we are putting into place and announcing today are very consistent with the best practices of the higher education sector right now.” Reporting contributed by Amber Mohmand.

requirements have failed in many states and have led to lawsuits. “This is an administrative nightmare,” Jochum said. Sen. Nate Boulton, D-Des Moines, said this bill may not be approved by courts. Kentucky ended a Medicaid work requirement program last year that had been embroiled in lawsuits. Schultz said the challenges other states are seeing are due to challenges in procedures rather than the work requirements. “Other states have had challenges filed by opponents of the new work requirements,” Schultz said. “The rulings were not so much setting aside the work requirements, they found fault in the procedure used to grant the waivers from the federal government to the state. These were rulings on technicalities, not the policy.” Jochum said the bill doesn’t do anything to address the poor and the focus should be on improving childcare, transportation and other problems. “This to me is just a mean spirited way to go after people that are poor,” Jochum said. “It’s a bill that is designed to punish people that are living by the rules but aren’t quite making it.” Boulton said a focus on childcare, a increase of the minimum wage and other services would be more beneficial than this bill. “There’s too many reasons not to support this,” Boulton said. “There’s many different things Iowa can do to be a better partner to the poor.” If the bill were to also pass the House and were signed by Gov.
