Presidential Policies

Where candidates stand on issues BY JAKE.WEBSTER @iowastatedaily.com After a grueling, years-long process, fewer than half of the Democratic presidential candidates remain in the race just three days out from the Iowa caucuses. This is where the remaining Democratic candidates stand on key issues in the 2020 election. The issues were selected based on the most recent YouGov national survey of adults. The top three issues for 18-to-29-year-old respondents were health care, the environment and education. Former Vice President Joe Biden Health care: Biden would “give every American access to affordable health insurance,” according to his campaign website. Climate change: Biden calls for a 100 percent clean energy economy by 2050 and for the United States to rejoin the Paris Agreement, and would also sign executive orders going beyond the platform of the “Obama-Biden administration,” according to his campaign website. College education: Biden would “double the maximum value of Pell grants,” and automatically increase the value based on inflation, according to his campaign website. Sen. Bernie Sanders Health care: Sanders proposes a “‘Medicare for All,’ single-payer, national health insurance program to provide everyone in America with comprehensive health care coverage, free at the point of service,” according to his campaign website. Climate change: Sanders calls for “complete decarbonization of the economy by 2050” and “[e]nding unemployment by creating 20 million jobs needed to solve the climate crisis,” according to his campaign website.

Ioway: The history behind the name BY AMBER.MOHMAND @iowastatedaily.com As the Ames City Council recommended to replace the name of Squaw Creek to Ioway Creek, there is in-depth meaning to the suggested name. A debate was sparked when a request was made by an Ames resident that said individuals of Native American descent have protested the name since the 1990s. The resident requested the name to be changed, offering the name “Story Creek” as an option since Story County has the highest population in which the stream flows. The term “Squaw” is defined as an offensive connotation towards Native American women, according to the Merriam Webster dictionary. “I think the easiest way to find a name that was recognizable and would mean something to people and would make an immediate connection to the native presence here was just a tribal name,” said Sebastian Braun, associate professor in world languages and culture and the director of American Indian Studies who also looked over recommended names. The name Ioway was recommended by

the Ames City Council during its meeting Tuesday night. “The earliest people who lived here that we know the name of are what are called the Ioway and they didn’t call themselves the Ioway, they called themselves the Baxoje,” Braun said. Ioway or Iowa are the Native Americans that lived in the geographic area, according to the official website of the Ioway, and they called themselves Baxoje — meaning grey snow. “They were very powerful in the beginning, they were noted as a lot of the more powerful tribes in this area, they had most of Iowa — they did well for themselves,” Braun said. The tribe relocated many times throughout history, ranging from the geographic area within Minnesota to maintaining a village near Council Bluffs, Iowa. The Ioway settled near the Des Moines River on the Grand River Basin. “In the late 1700s, early 1800s, the Ioway just ran into a lot of difficulties, there were epidemics, there was a lot of warfare with the Dakota, especially, and they just lost ground,” Braun said. After the Ioway lost ground, the Sauk

and the Meskwaki lived in the area. When the two recommended names were released, there was an argument within the Ames and Iowa State community. Some residents have argued through social media that the name has become a staple within the Ames Community. “There seems to be some criticism of the county and the city basically getting into this and I want to go on record and saying that the U.S. Board on Geographic Names have contacted us and asked us for input and so we are doing that,” Ames Mayor John Haila said in a city council meeting in November. Braun said the name change could rebuild connections with Native Americans. “I think the renaming of this creek [...] could actually be an opportunity to rebuild or build connections,” Braun said. “For example, when the creek is renamed, why not invite the people for whom it will be named and, maybe, the other people for whom it will not be renamed here to remember, for example, the history of the land, the treaties, you know, to understand the treaties did not just involve Native [Americans] but they involved anybody who lives here.”

COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA COMMONS Iowa State will be accepting comments and questions about their new chalking policy through Wednesday.

Iowa State starts discussion on permanent chalking policy BY JACOB.SMITH @iowastatedaily.com A drafted chalking policy is being reviewed, which would implement fewer restrictions on chalking around Iowa State’s campus but permanently ban chalking from some areas. The draft policy lays out what exactly is allowed to be chalked and where the chalking can and cannot occur in detail. Last semester, the university implemented a temporary policy regarding the chalking, which limited what students are allowed to chalk. Within the policy, registered student organizations were the only groups allowed to chalk on campus. Now, the proposed policy opens up chalking to anyone. “Iowa State University recognizes that chalking of sidewalks is a way to announce programs, promote events, exchange opinions, share messages, and otherwise express ideas,” according to the policy. “This policy is designed to permit sidewalk chalking while also advancing important university interests, including but not limited to ensuring campus safety, safeguarding entrances and exits to and from university facilities, protecting university property and facilities, and maintaining the aesthetic appeal of campus.” While chalking would be open to everyone, the policy also affects all students, affiliates, employees and visitors to Iowa State. According to the policy, chalking is only allowed in water-soluble chalk, banning markers, paints, oil-based products, non-soluble products and spray chalks. “Chalking that violates any federal or state law, the Iowa State University Student Disciplinary Regulations (Code of Conduct), or any other policy of Iowa State University as contained in the Iowa State University Policy Library is prohibited,” according to the policy. According to the policy, chalking is not allowed in any of the following areas: Within the Memorial Union Plaza and memorial space, within the historical quad space, within the Anderson Sculpture Garden, the George Washington Carver Plaza, the Knoll grounds and within “areas outside health care facilities including both stand-alone facilities and mixed-use facilities that are embedded within another facility, veterinary medicine facilities, a facility or outdoor area used by the institution’s athletics program or teams, or other outdoor areas where access is restricted to a majority of the campus community, see Iowa Code Chapter 261H.1(4).” Feedback on the draft policy is being accepted through Wednesday with email questions and comments being sent to policy@iastate.edu.

Trump rally in Des Moines President speaks about Democratic rivals BY JAKE.WEBSTER @iowastatedaily.com A capacity crowd at the Knapp Center at Drake University in Des Moines met President Donald Trump late Thursday, and in a preview of the looming 2020 general election, he hit out at his potential Democratic rivals — referring to them by now-familiar nicknames. The president referred to Sen. Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas,” Sen. Bernie Sanders as “Crazy Bernie” and former Vice President Joe Biden as “Sleepy Joe,” and spoke confidently of victory in November. “ The Democrats will lose because America will never be a socialist country,” Trump said. Speaking earlier Thursday in Waukee, Iowa, Biden delivered a pre-rebuttal to Trump’s Des Moines rally. “Welcome to Donald Trump’s world,” Biden said, according to prepared remarks shared by his campaign. “Up is down. Lies are the truth. Allies are enemies. Everything is through the looking glass.” The former vice president said he had already gone one round with Trump on health care, according to prepared remarks. “In 2018, I went to 24 states for 65 candidates,” Biden said, according to prepared remarks. “I took on Trump all over the country — and beat him. In fact, we beat him like a drum — and in the process took back the majority in

the House. We should remember that this year.” I o w a H o u s e S p e a k e r Pa t Grassley spoke just after 5 p.m. — nearly two hours ahead of when the president was scheduled to speak — to urge people to support the president’s reelection. Grassley criticized Iowa Democratic caucus frontrunner Bernie Sanders for taking a “honeymoon in the Soviet Union.” Gov. Kim Reynolds also briefly joined Trump on the stage. “On Feb. 3 we’re gonna caucus, on Nov. 3 we’re gonna vote and on Nov. 4 we’re gonna celebrate four more years,” Reynolds said to cheers and chants of “four more years” from the audience.

The thousands of people in the Knapp Center were mostly there to see Trump though, rather than other Republican officials. John Lehman, from Grimes, Iowa, said he has never seen a president before. “I’m 59 years old, you got to try to see one of your presidents sometime,” Lehman said. Lehman said he supports Trump because he’s “outside the box.” “[Trump] isn’t politically correct all the time, but what he says a lot of us agree with,” Lehman said. “I just wish he’d say it a little differently.” Lehman said he would advise Trump to “take the high road.” “You don’t need to call people

personal names, just state your policy,” Lehman said. “I used to coach little league for a long time and I always taught everybody you win with dignity and you lose with grace. That’s how you do it.” Jim La Velle, a retired electrician from “out by Fort Dodge,” said he is a “life-long hard-nosed conservative” and supports Trump because the president says what he’s going to do and “follows through on it.” “Most politicians tell you what you want to hear, what you want to know or what you think you want him to do and the candidate will promise all kinds of things,” La Velle said. “They get into office and then they don’t follow through a lot of the times.” La Velle said Republicans are the ones who are looking out for everyone, citing impeachment as a recent event in government illustrative of Democratic overreach. S ome of the rally attendees began to file out of the arena as Trump continued speaking. The president’s address stretched on for more than an hour. The Republican incumbent urged Democrats and Independents to join the Republican Party, calling it a “big tent.” He ended with an appeal to Iowans to vote for him. “We are going to keep on working, we are going to keep on fighting and we are going to keep on winning, winning, winning,” Trump said. “[...] Ladies and gentleman of Iowa the best is yet to come.”

Recreation Services offers winter activities BY LINDSEY.GOLWITZER @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State Outdoor Recreation Services is offering students various activities to stay entertained in the winter months. Outdoor ventures can become an obstacle in colder parts of the year for the Midwest. Outdoor Rec. Services, however, are a great resource to use if students are in need of a fun activity. Kaela Gollob, senior in environmental science and employee of Iowa State Outdoor Rec. Services Program, spoke about the winter activities that they offer. “During the winter months, we rent out cross country skis and snowshoes from office, so students can come to rent them out and go exploring on their own,” Gollob said. Gollob also said that during Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, they had rented out every single ski that they had in stock. When asked what her favorite winter activity was, Gollob said that she had just bought a pair of cross-country skis herself and had enjoyed using them the past few weekends during her free time. The Rec. Center also offers workshops, such as a beginners skiing and snowboarding workshops at Seven Oaks in Boone, Iowa, as well as a cross-country skiing workshop.

“Our most popular workshop right now would have to be the skiing and snowboarding workshop at Seven Oaks [because] we provide transportation and ski lift tickets, which are part of the package that we offer,” Gollob said. “It’s a great opportunity for people to learn these skills for the first time.” All students enrolled at Iowa State are automatically given a pass to Rec. Services, according to the Outdoor Rec. Services Department. For pass holders, the ski and snowboard workshops are $31 and non-pass holders are $53. If you’re looking to get out of Ames for the weekend, alone or with friends, they also offer weekend trips as well. “We offer a ski and snowboarding trip at Sundown Resort in Iowa and a ski and snowboarding trip at Seven Oaks, which is similar to our workshop there,” Gollob said. “We also offer an ice climbing trip in Minnesota, as well as a snowshoeing and cross-country skiing camping trip at Pilot Knob State Park in Iowa.” The Pilot Knob State Park weekend trip is $48 for pass holders and $80 for non-pass holders. For those that are not a huge fan of the cold, they also offer indoor activities, such as the climbing walls at both State Gym and

Potential impact of Brexit on the United States BY SAGE.SMITH @iowastatedaily.com The United Kingdom (UK) will leave the European Union (EU) Friday, which may impact the United States travel and trade. Brexit, which refers to the United Kingdom leaving the European Union, will be official 5 p.m. Friday. The United Kingdom includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union by 52 percent to 48 percent in the June 2016 referendum vote, according to BBC News. England and Wales majority vote was to leave the European Union while Northern Ireland and Scotland voted to remain. Kelly Shaw, associate teaching professor of political science, worked for the European Union for six years as the associate director of the European Union Center at the University of Missouri from 1999 to 2005. Shaw said because of the larger populations in England and Wales, it was decided the United Kingdom would leave. Shaw said it has gotten to a point where the United Kingdom and the European Union are like a couple getting divorced who have three kids and can’t agree on who gets the kids. The three kids in this case are the economics, social and political aspects. With the economic side, the United Kingdom separating from the European Union could allow more opportunity for the United States with the agriculture trade world. Previously trade negotiations took place with the European Union and now with the United Kingdom outside of the European Union, they can make their own negotiations. “There are some trade problems between the European Union and us,” Shaw said. “Particularly around issues such as genetically modified organisms. [European Union] have much more strict labeling requirements there.” Shaw said the United Kingdom is more progressive and receptive than the European Union when it comes to genetically modified organisms and hormones in meat. United Kingdom being on its own could lead to more agriculture trade with the United States. When it comes to the social aspect, students in the United States and the United Kingdom may be impacted by Brexit because of the European Union’s program called Erasmus+. This program is meant to “support education, training, youth and sport in Europe,” according to the European Commission’s website. The budget for Erasmus+ provides Europeans with opportunities to gain experience while studying abroad. The United Kingdom no longer having this program means students in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland won’t have that abroad opportunity. “In essence the UK students who are studying abroad now, studying in Europe, they’ll be recalled back [to their home universities],” Shaw said. “They could probably stay if they wanted to but they wouldn’t get the cheap tuition that Erasmus provides for them.” Another difficulty Brexit could present, Shaw said, is the increased difficulty for United States citizens to travel to Europe as the European Union has announced the citizens need visas to travel there. United States citizens will still be able to travel to the United Kingdom as they will be separate from the European Union.

BY ANNELISE.WELLS @iowastatedaily.com With the Iowa caucuses less than a week away, candidates are focusing on this weekend for a last push in Iowa before the state’s first-in-the-nation primary. While candidates have been focusing on Iowa for over a year now, soon enough they will be jetting off to Vermont, New Hampshire and other states. Because of the caucuses, Iowa has such a unique opportunity in the political realm. However the cards fall in Iowa is a big deal and often influences voting throughout the rest of the country. This is why it is so important to exercise your civic duty and your right to vote by participating in the caucuses. But before you head out to your caucus location, make sure you do your research. The internet is a blessing and a curse when it comes to information. On one hand it makes it easier than ever to see which candidate you align with the most, but on the other you have to make sure you are reading credible news sources, because anybody can post anything on the internet. Read articles from reputable

COURTESY OF FLICKR Editor-in-Chief Annelise Wells argues that while it is important to caucus, people should also do their research. She writes that you should form your own opinions based on your own research.

news sights and browse the candidates’ webpages to see where they stand on issues that are most important to you. It’s really easy to just go along with whoever your friends or parents are voting for, but it’s so important to form your own opinions. If your opinions change or if they are similar to those of your friends or family doesn’t matter, as long as you do your homework before heading out on Monday night.

It doesn’t matter who you decide to caucus or vote for, as long as you make an informed choice af ter weighing your options. If you find a candidate who really aligns with your values, that’s great, just make sure you are doing your research. I encourage you to take advantage of your unique opportunity as an Iowan to participate in the caucuses. If you are not eligible to caucus, encourage your friends

and family who are registered in Iowa to take part. I also encourage you to form your own opinions by seeing where the candidates stand on issues that are close to your heart.

GUEST COLUMN

Bernie Sanders can win against Trump BY CALEB GATES caleb.s.gates@gmail.com In January 2018, I lost my job as a direct result of President Trump’s policies. When I came to bed on election night 2016 and told my wife that Trump had won, she cried and asked me, “Are you going to lose your job?” I worked with refugees, and in December 2017 I learned Trump’s anti-refugee policies were shutting down the program I worked for. I was blessed to find another job working with refugees, but many others in that field were not so fortunate. Given the stakes, priority number one for election 2020 is beating Donald Trump. After mulling this decision for the last year, the answer is now clear: Bernie Sanders is the only candidate who can beat Donald Trump. Many believe Joe Biden is the safe candidate, the electable candidate. Not true! Given the Electoral College, which makes votes in white, rural states count more than votes in ethically-diverse, urban states, it’s possible no Democratic candidate could beat Donald Trump. But of all the Democratic candidates, Joe Biden is the most likely to lose to Trump. If Democrats nominate Joe Biden, Trump will win reelection. Look at every presidential election

in the last 20 years. Every time a party has nominated the “safe” candidate, the “electable” candidate, Democratic or Republican, that candidate has lost. Gore, Kerry, McCain, Romney and Hillary Clinton were all promoted as “safe” and “electable.” Everyone lost. In contrast, many people thought there was no way George W. Bush, Barack Obama or Donald Trump could win. Yet they did. In 2020, Joe Biden is the “safe” candidate, the “electable” candidate. If someone voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012 and then voted for Trump in 2016, why would they vote Biden 2020? Again, if Democrats nominate Joe Biden, Trump will be reelected. Pete Buttigieg’s return to the status quo and his Wall Street, corporate and industry financial backers have soured me to his candidacy. I love some of Andrew Yang’s ideas, but we need a president with political experience. Amy Klobuchar’s support seems limited to the Midwest and has even less black support than Pete Buttigieg. Tom Steyer does a lot of good things with his wealth. Buying his way into the White House is not one of them. Elizabeth Warren’s policies are quite close to Bernie’s. A Warren presidency would thrill me. A Bernie/Warren ticket would be my dream team. However, Warren attracts a smaller demographic coalition than Sanders. Warren’s supporters tend to be whiter and wealthier than Bernie’s supporters. Bernie does well among the working class and the poor — many of whom are Latino and black. Those earning less than 50 thousand a year and who have less than a college degree support Sanders over Warren by greater than 10 percent. In fact, black Americans under-35 support Sanders over Biden (42 percent to 30 percent

— Washington Post-Ipsos Poll). Latinos back Sanders over Biden. Young black and Latino voters’ enthusiasm for Bernie will win their parents and grandparents’ support for Sanders. Conversely, the older black Americans and Latinos who support Biden will have less success in convincing their children and grandchildren to vote for Biden. In a recent Monmouth poll, more self-identified moderates under-50 support Sanders than Biden (23 percent to 20 percent). Of the remaining candidates, only Sanders can rebuild and expand on the Obama coalition. In a general election, I predict more Warren supporters shifting to Sanders than Sanders supporters shifting to Warren. In 2016, an estimated 12 percent Sanders supporters voted for Trump in the general election. Many of these Trump voters feel that the Democratic party despises and dismisses them. Bernie is the candidate whom a significant number of Trump voters would support. A Sanders nomination will also prevent an otherwise significant flight of votes from Democrat to third parties. The least fortunate among us, the poor and those with less formal education than other demographics, know what they need and which candidate speaks for them. Sanders’ vision and policies more so than other candidates would lift up the poor, the marginalized and the less fortunate. Such policies not only are morally right, but economically sound. Each of you must decide who to caucus for on Feb. 3, 2020. If you can caucus, please caucus. As you do, think how your vote will affect the least of these, and consider caucusing for Bernie Sanders.

I am writing today to express support for Elizabeth Warren as the Democratic nominee for the 2020 presidential election. Although our universities are a thousand miles apart, we believe that our students likely have some priorities in common: We want our government to work for all people, not the wealthy few. We want refugees and immigrants to be protected in our country, not caged. We want to invest in our future and build coalitions with our neighbors around the world to protect our planet for our generation and generations to come. We want a level playing field where we aren’t burdened by huge amounts of student debt and health care costs. And, we want a leader who will restore confidence in our nation’s government for Americans, and around the globe. We know every registered Democrat at Iowa State has a tough decision ahead of you, but we believe that one candidate has the right ideas and the right set of skills to lead us at this critical time in history. Elizabeth Warren has proven time and again that she can create the needed coalitions to enact policies that protect our most vulnerable populations and improve the lives of students and working families. She has the humility to reassess what’s needed in a fast moving world and the courage to fight for what’s fair and right. She can unite our party and beat Donald Trump in November. This is our time in history, and Elizabeth Warren is the leader we want and need. Please support her this Monday. And, know that thousands of us are working hard here in Pennsylvania to turn our crucial swing state votes toward the right candidate for the job. We are a city of grit, and we want to tell you, Iowa State Democrats, we have your back.

Technical foul sparks Baylor No. 1 Baylor capitalizes on mistake by Coach Prohm BY ZANE.DOUGLAS @iowastatedaily.com The story for the Cyclones on Wednesday was one of defeat, but what came out stronger was frustration among fans, players and Coach Steve Prohm. Iowa State lost to No. 1 Baylor on Wednesday by a score of 67-53 — another low-scoring affair for the Cyclones who have been looking for consistent scoring outside of sophomore guards Tyrese Haliburton and Rasir Bolton. The offense again looked stagnant, but some things came into play that shifted the momentum of the game in Baylor’s favor.

LEWIS’ MINUTES REDUCED After junior guard Terrence Lewis helped lead the comeback against No. 16 Auburn last Saturday, it felt like the Cyclones had something in him that they could use against Baylor. Prohm didn’t have those same feelings against Baylor, meaning Lewis was busy gathering dust on the bench after just a brief two minute cameo in the first half. Instead, Prohm went to redshirt senior guard Prentiss Nixon and freshmen guards Caleb Grill and Tre Jackson to handle the duties as a small ball three. Those three went 2-10 shooting in 50 combined minutes. Nixon was the worst of them, shooting 1-7 from the

field while not connecting on any of his four three-point attempts. Nixon has struggled since conference play started. He’s averaging six points per game on 26.6 percent overall and 11.1 percent from three (3-27) in that time span. Prohm was asked if the ankle injury that Lewis had been dealing with a couple games before factored into the decision to keep him on the bench and Prohm answered with one word: “No.”

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES With just over 12 minutes remaining in the second half, the Bears held a five point lead at 44-39. Redshirt junior Solomon Young ran into a Bears defender while he was looking

the other way and the officials called an offensive foul sparking an argument and eventually a technical foul call against Prohm. Baylor used that momentum shift to stage a 17-2 run and bury the Cyclones in the next few minutes. Iowa State had no answer for the offensive onslaught that followed the call. Prohm mentioned the technical foul multiple times unprompted in his press conference after the game, citing it as a key reason why Baylor was able to grab momentum. “We don’t need to give up points, I don’t need to give anybody points,” Prohm said. “I think that messed us up a little bit.” It’s becoming a theme for the

Cyclones to give up free points when they desperately need to keep their composure — the fouls at the end of the first Baylor game and the Texas Tech game are examples — so cleaning that up will be something to watch for going forward.

REBOUNDING MARGIN SINKS IOWA STATE Iowa State and Prohm have an affinity for the small ball lineups, and on Wednesday that was no different. Whether the Cyclones were playing small or not, it didn’t seem to make a difference, with the Bears dominating on the glass no matter who Iowa State sent out there. Baylor grabbed 39 rebounds

while the Cyclones had 28. The Bears also totaled 14 offensive rebounds to Iowa State’s eight, which allowed the Bears to score second chance points. The Bears shot the ball 62 times (28-62) on the day, while Iowa State only was able to muster 50 shots (18-50). “Baylor’s a well oiled machine right now,” Prohm said. “Physically tough, mentally tough, and then dudes are locked and loaded.” Iowa State falling brings its record to 9-11 on the season and 2-5 in conference play. The next challenge will be the Texas Longhorns in Austin, Texas, with Prohm’s team looking for answers that haven’t come all year.

Cyclones prepare for double dual meet Swimmers look to bounce back after loss last weekend BY MEGAN.TESKE @iowastatedaily.com One week after the Iowa State swimming and diving team faced a tough loss in Morgantown, West Virginia, they will host North Texas and University of Northern Iowa in a triangular meet. The meet will begin at 5 p.m. Friday and continue at 10 a.m. Saturday. Coach Duane Sorenson said all three teams will be competing at the same time against each other, and half the meet will be completed on Friday and the other half will be on Saturday. Sorenson said that since there will be two days of events, they are adding on some extra events as well. “We’re adding on the 400 IM and the 400 freestyle relay will be done after the 50 freestyle and after diving’s completed,” Sorenson said. “Then on Saturday we’re adding the 400 medley relay to start the meet then we’ll finish up with the 200 freestyle relay at the end, it’s gonna be 19 events versus the 16 that we normally do.” In Saturday’s meet against West Virginia,

Iowa State lost out on first place by hundredths of seconds, something Sorenson said might’ve been due to the new pool at West Virginia, however Sorenson also said the Cyclones would be focusing on the small details — like turning through the walls and kicking faster — in practice this week. Iowa State has played the University of Northern Iowa before, and Sorenson said the Cyclones have been very successful against them in the past, however this will be the first time outside of the Kansas Classic that the Cyclones will be facing off against North Texas. North Texas has been in the Classic the past two years where the Cyclones saw them, and beat them both times, the first of which Sorenson said wasn’t as close, and Sorenson said he is looking forward to playing them in a dual meet. “They’ve got very good individual swimmers,” Sorenson said. “We’re gonna have to be on the top of our game to race against them and beat them.” The two day meet will also give the Cyclones another chance to get the routine down for the Big 12 Championships that are coming up in less than a month. Sorenson said after the meet is over Friday night, the athletes will need to do their cool down, get a healthy meal in, and then get a good night’s rest before getting up and warming up for the meet the next morning, which will be much like the Big 12’s routine.

NICK NADING/ IOWA STATE DAILY Iowa State swimmer competing in the 200-yard butterfly event on Nov. 8. The Cyclones won the meet 212-84.

Iowa State already had back-to-back meets earlier in the season in November against South Dakota and then Rutgers the next day, as well as the Kansas Classic where they competed over multiple days, so the routine should be nothing new to them, but Sorenson said it’s all about getting the right recovery in place. Sorenson said this will be a competitive meet and that both teams coming have some very good

swimmers, but that Iowa State has the upper hand in diving. “Our strength against both teams is going to be diving,” Sorenson said. “Our divers are quite a bit better on paper right now than their divers.” Iowa State will face off against North Texas and University of Northern Iowa at 5 p.m. Friday and continue at 10 a.m. Saturday, both at Beyer Pool.
