TALKING CONNECTIONS

What is Love?

Defining love through connections

BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com Editor’s note: This is part three in our weekly relationship series “ Talking Connections.”

Sensitive content may follow.

With Valentine’s Day seen as a day of love, it is a good time to talk about what love really is.

“Love is a complex set of emotions, behaviors, and beliefs associated with strong feelings of affection, protectiveness, warmth, and respect for another person,” according to the Good Therapy website. “Love can also be used to apply to non-human animals, to principles and to religious beliefs. For example, a person might say he or she loves his or her dog, loves freedom, or loves God.” Love has been a favored topic of philosophers, poets, writers and scientists for generations, and different people and groups have often disagreed about its definition. “ While most people agree that love implies strong feelings of affection, there are many disagreements about its precise meaning, and one person’s ‘I love you’ might mean something quite different than another’s,” according to the Good Therapy website.

The Good Therapy website listed some possible definitions of love. These include:

a willingness to pr ior itiz e another’s well-being or happiness above your own; extreme feelings of attachment, affection and need; dramatic, sudden feelings of attraction and respect; a fleeting emotion of care, affection and like; a choice to commit to helping, respecting and caring for another, such as in marriage or when having a child; or some combination of the above emotions.

“You can go the romantic all-encompassing desire for another person on an emotional basis,” said David Wahl, a graduate student in sociology. “You can have it as some sort of a more domestic trusting relationship of intimacy, it is really hard to put

Celebrating 100 years of suffrage Author to give lecture about 19th Amendment

BY ANNA.OLSON @iowastatedaily.com The Hard Won, Not Done commemoration to celebrate 100 years of the 19th Amendment will kick off Friday.

One of the lectures of the day will feature award-winning journalist and writer, Elaine Weiss.

Weiss’ lecture will be at 1 p.m. in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

Weiss’ “The Woman’s Hour” will bring audience members through the story of the seven-decade struggle to ratify the 19th Amendment.

Weiss will also discuss Carrie Chapman Catt, an Iowa State alumna and national suffrage leader.

Karen Kedrowski, director of Carrie Chapman Catt Center said Weiss’ lecture will bring audience members through the story of women’s push to get Tennessee to ratify the 19th Amendment.

Kedrowski said without Tennessee ratifying, the women’s movement would have had to push southward, where it wasn’t promising.

“It’s a very dramatic story,” Kedrowski said.

The lecture isn’t just about achieving the 19th Amendment for a few. Kedrowski said Weiss will discuss how women of color and other individuals were impacted by the Amendment’s ratification.

“There’s a lot of really interesting intersections, and Ms. Weiss does a lovely job of doing it,” Kedrowski said.

A question about the event may be, “why is it on Valentine’s Day?” Carrie Chapman Catt gave her presidential address at the National

American Woman Suffrage Convention in order to create a “League of Women Voters,” and on Valentine’s Day 100 years ago, the national League of Women Voters was organized by Catt.

With Valentine’s Day being a day of importance to the suffrage movement, Weiss’ lecture isn’t the only component of the day. Weiss’ lecture is only one event in the Hard Won, Not Done commemoration that kicks off the celebration of 100 years of suffrage that occurs all around the state.

Kedrowski said there will be presentations, a documentary video, breakout sessions, picture booths, buttons, free food and much more.

“We are going to try to have fun,” Kedrowski said.

Iowa State is one of many universities and colleges to put on events to celebrate suffrage. Kedrowski said the Ames area is also getting involved.

“There’s a lot of really cool things happening locally and statewide,” Kedrowski said. “We are going to work together on a common theme to celebrate suffrage.”

Although Kedrowski said the goal is to have fun, she also said it’s important for Iowa State students to attend to learn about the Amendment that enfranchised about 20 million people “overnight.”

“Understanding our history is an important thing,” Kedrowski said. “Women’s history isn’t only for the women.”

Kedrowski said although the day is to celebrate how hard it was to get to the point women are now, the name of the ceremony hints what is still left.

“In terms of achieving equality [...] we aren’t done,”Kedrowski said.

Weiss will also have a “Suffrage in the South” Q&A at 3:30 p.m.

Friday along with book signings in the Memorial Union.

More information about the events of the day can be found on the Iowa State events page: Kickoff: 19th Amendment Centennial.

IOWA STATE DAILY Catt Hall is named after Carrie Chapman Catt, one of the leading women of the suffragette movement.

Women’s suffrage to be celebrated with a day full of events

BY ANNEKE.JOHNSON @iowastatedaily.com 2020 is a year of celebration for white women across the United States for one reason: it is a celebration of suffrage.

August 26 will mark 100 years since the 19th Amendment, condemning discrimination of voters on the basis of sex, was ratified.

At 11:30 a.m. Friday, the campaign Hard Won Not Done will be holding the 19th Amendment Centennial Commemoration Statewide Kickoff, a kickoff event for a year of commemorating this anniversary.

Hard Won Not Done is an Iowa-based campaign created to commemorate the ratification of the 19th Amendment, while advocating for continued fighting towards equality.

“The case for equal voice for women, indeed for all citizens, was won in 1920 at enormous cost and sacrifice by women and men from Iowa and the nation,” the campaign website states. “Yet even a casual glance at today’s headlines — voter disenfranchisement and suppression, equal representation in politics and business — reveals how much more remains to be done.”

Pr i o r t o t h e r a t i fi c a t i o n o f t h e 1 9 t h Amendment being certified on the 26 of August 1920, many small steps led to suffrage being adopted as the law of the land. Over the years arrests, beatings, imprisonment and derision followed the suffragists.

“Opposition was intense, yet it’s not as if they demanded equal rights as well. Had they done so, they might still be waiting to vote,” the campaign website states. “After all, as of today, 37 states have ratified the 1972 Equal Rights Amendment — and it’s still not law.”

Maintaining a positive reputation through core values

BY AVERY.STAKER @iowastatedaily.com The Sorority and Fraternity Community (SFC) are working to build a strong reputation by focusing on philanthropy and community events.

Iowa State maintains this positive reputation of its SFC by focusing on its five core values: academics, civic engagement, friendship, leadership and social justice.

Members hold a higher average GPA of 3.19 as opposed to the all-university average of 3.11, according to the Sorority and Fraternity Engagement (SFE) website. In partnership with the Academic Success Center, SFC created the Greek Academic Achievement Plan (GAAP) to help chapters make effective academic policies, host successful programs and support individual academic improvement plans.

There are also several academic honor societies members can join for high academic achievement. Gamma Sigma Alpha, Order of Omega and Rho Lambda all provide members with the opportunity to work with other outstanding students and develop leadership skills. Each organization gives members access to scholarships that are unavailable to non-members.

The individual chapters on campus are also encouraged to participate in civic engagement through philanthropy. Each chapter has its own philanthropic organization that they host fundraising events each semester for, including the Special Olympics, Children’s Miracle Network and many more. In the 2018-2019 school year, the SFC raised more than $560,000 and gave over 54,000 hours of service to local and national organizations.

The third core value of the SFC is friendship. Chapters foster this value by hosting various social events for its members to participate in throughout the year and encouraging members to build lasting relationships with fellow members. Socials can be held within a chapter or between several chapters to build relationships with other members of SFC. Members have the opportunity to take on various leadership roles in the SFC as well. Each chapter has an executive team and several smaller committees so each member can have a role. Members can also run for positions on their governing council: the Collegiate Panhellenic Council, the Interfraternity Council, the Multicultural Greek Council and the National Pan-Hellenic Council.

Members are also encouraged to participate in clubs and activities outside of SFC, like student government, Dance Marathon and the Student Union Board. More inter-chapter clubs exist for SFC members to participate in, including Greeks Go Green, Greek Week Central and the Sorority and Fraternity Community Ambassadors.

The final core value of SFC is social justice. According to their webpage, SFC defines social justice as “the promotion of change through challenging inequalities and embracing diversity.” A main goal of SFC is to make all students feel welcome and safe on campus. This value is fostered through implementing chapter programs and partnering with various offices on campus to start conversations of diversity, inclusion and equality among SFC members.

BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com Exhibition by a student comes to an end after a week of being displayed in the College of Design.

Christian D’Cruz, senior in graphic design, displayed his exhibition “G00nD0ck Practice” in Gallery 181 in the College of Design. The exhibition started on Monday and will end today.

“As a 22-year-old student having grown up in the digital era, I am a product of the internet,” D’Cruz said. “Having had consistent connection to screens has shaped the way I view the world. I have created this work with urgency to encourage us to rethink our relationship with technology and how it affects our view of ourselves and our peers.”

The solo exhibition included mixed-media paintings on masonite, experiential monitor displays and a mural and projections created in 2019-2020. There are around 40 pieces in the exhibition.

“My work is a visual diary of thoughts and observations of the world around me,” D’Cruz said. “I fear for the future. I have experienced how our online connections have created disinterest in human connections.

People are flawed, complicated, mean and distasteful.

Technology gives us exactly what we want, when we want it. But; people are also passionate, kind, understanding, loving, wise, unpredictable and real. All of which technology is not. I believe in people, I have made this work to challenge us to once more get excited about that which goes beyond binary understanding. To forgo the effects of our digital lives. To embrace the idea that the value of our fellow human is worthy of preservation.”

Fighting for rights

Film showing honors Black History Month LORETTA MCGRAW/ IOWA STATE DAILY Nell Gabiam, associate professor of anthropology and political science addressed “Home, Hospitality and Affective Politics in the Syrian Refugee Crisis.”

Feminist Friday to focus on rural doulas

BY LORETTA.MCGRAW @iowastatedaily.com

This week’s Feminist Friday will feature speaker Jazzmine Brooks, the equity and inclusion coordinator for the Office of Equal Opportunity.

Brooks will be leading a discussion at 1 p.m. in the Margaret Sloss Women’s Center on “Rural Black Doula Chronicles: Addressing Disassociation of the Body and Mind” despite the fridges temperatures this Friday.

A doula is defined as a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to a mother before, during and shortly after childbirth to help her achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible, according to www.dona.org.

Brooks is one out of five black fertility doulas in the state of Iowa and works for a nonprofit out of Des Moines. With her employment at Iowa State she helps to manage and support campus needs in accessibility, campus climate responses and other various inclusion initiatives both on and off campus.

Brooks is an advocate for social change and said she believes in creating space to discuss and resolve social justice issues.

“Dissociation is a trauma response,” Brooks said.

“So we think about small dissociation [as] forget your keys or some people are like ‘I drove somewhere and I don’t know how I got there’ those are common things that happen to us. So when you think of trauma, particularly within women of color, people of color it’s important for people to even understand what it is, affirm it, have them think about how their signs and symptoms show up and how we process grounding techniques.”

Some types of grounding techniques include: breathing exercises, visually acknowledging your surroundings, touching a variety of textures or fabrics, cease physical rhythmic behaviors that may be trancing, listen to music, chew mint or cinnamon gum, repeat a calming mantra, journal and more, according to beautyafterbruises.org.

Serving on the American College Personnel Association College S tudent Educ ators International Coalition for Multicultural Affairs Networks Pan African Network as a community outreach and civic engagement co-chair and Multicultural Network social media coordinator, Brooks has been given the unique opportunity and responsibility to raise awareness of multicultural issues in higher education and issues affecting the Pan African community, according to her LinkedIn. Feminists Fridays are free and open to all students, faculty and community members. They offer free snacks upon check-in and a variety of discussion topics through a feminist lens following conclusion of the speakers presentation.

BY LORETTA.MCGRAW @iowastatedaily.com As a part of Black History Month, Parks Library presented the film “I Am Not Your Negro” on Thursday to a room of 13 people.

The film highlights the assassinations of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., three close and very different friends of the author James Baldwin. It brings to life a radical perspective on the recent racial narrative and relations in America based on Baldwin’s incomplete novel “Remember This House”.

“The question is really a kind of apathy and ignorance, which is the price we pay for segregation,” James Baldwin said. “That’s what segregation means. You don’t know what’s happening on the other side of the wall, because you don’t want to know.”

The film used Baldwin’s own words and writings from a short manuscript about his exterior role as a self-described witness in the civil rights movement and was narrated by celebrity Samuel L. Jackson.

The film addresses hate crime, human rights, slavery in the U.S. and lynching.

“I Am Not Your Negro” is a journey into black history that connects the past of the civil rights movement to the present of #BlackLivesMatter.

The civil rights movement began in the late 1940s and ended in the late 1960s.

COURTESY OF MAGNOLIA PICTURES The 2016 film “I Am Not Your Negro” is based upon the unfinished novel “Remember This House’’ by author James Baldwin and features Samuel L. Jackson.

The movement was mostly nonviolent and resulted in laws to protect every American’s constitutional rights, regardless of color, race, sex or national origin.

“I remember, for example, when the ex-Attorney General, Mr. Robert Kennedy, said that it was conceivable that in forty years in America we might have a Negro president,” Baldwin said. “And that sounded like a very emancipated statement, I suppose, to white people. They were not in Harlem when this statement was first heard. They did not hear the laughter and the bitterness and the scorn with which this statement was greeted. From the point of view of the man in the Harlem barbershop, Bobby Kennedy only got here

yesterday and now he’s already on his way to the presidency. We’ve been here for four hundred years and now he tells us that maybe in forty years, if you’re good, we may let you become president.”

To put that in perspective it was in 1968 when Robert Kennedy made this statement and it was not until 2008 that President Barack Obama made history as the first black elected president 40 years later.

Some of the most historically memorable moments and people surrounding the movement included and featured in the film are: 15-year-old Dorothy Counts, the first black integrated student of Charlotte, North Carolina; Black Panthers; Lorraine Hansberry; Martin Luther King Jr. and the March on Washington; the assassination of Malcolm X; the sit-in involving four African American college students in North Carolina; the “Little Rock Nine” blocked from integrating into Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas; the Freedom Rides; “Bloody Sunday” and the Selma to Montgomery march.

The film first follows the stories of affluent leaders of the civil rights movement including Malcom X, also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, an American Muslim minister and human rights activist. It tells the story of the activities leading up to his famous assassination on February 21, 1965, as a man rushed up and shot him once in the chest with a sawed-off shotgun and two other men charged the stage firing semi-automatic handguns in total, numbering 21 gunshots.

Following news of Malcolm X’s death, author James Baldwin was torn up and famously declared to reporters interviewing

Buttigieg wins delegates, makes history

BY KYLEE.HAUETER @iowastatedaily.com Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg became the first openly gay presidential candidate to win delegates in the presidential race following the Feb. 3 Iowa caucuses and capped that achievement with more delegate wins Tuesday.

Buttigieg is not the first openly gay presidential candidate. Political consultant and gay rights activist Fred Karger unsuccessfully ran for the Republican nomination in 2012, ultimately losing to eventual nominee Mitt Romney. Karger failed to receive any delegates, though.

Winning the Democratic nomination would be a step forward when it comes to equal representation of the LGBTQIA+ community in the government. As of now, there are nine openly gay members in Congress — seven in the House and two in the Senate. There has never been an openly gay president or vice presidential nominee for either major party.

In an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Buttigieg said he “didn’t set out just to be the gay president,” but he recognizes the powerful example he could be setting for young kids “peeking around the closet door wondering if this country has a place for them.”

Buttigieg has faced backlash for being openly gay in politics.

Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh commented on Buttigieg’s sexuality on his show.

“Then they’re sitting there, and they’re looking at Mayor Pete, a 37-year-old gay guy, mayor of South Bend, loves to kiss his husband on the debate stage,” Limbaugh said. “And they’re saying, ‘okay, how’s this gonna look, a 37-year-old gay guy kissing his husband onstage next to Mr. Man Donald Trump? What’s gonna happen there?’”

Buttigieg has also received backlash from members of his own party.

At one Iowa caucus precinct, a voter tried to retract her vote for Buttigieg after learning of his sexuality.

“I don’t want anybody like that in the White House,” the caucusgoer said, after a precinct captain told her Buttigieg is married to a man.

Buttigieg has also faced backlash from some Democrats who say perhaps he hasn’t done enough for representation.

systems engineering Sehba Faheem said while his candidacy is a breakthrough, Buttigieg hasn’t paid respect where it’s due.

“Pete Buttigieg’s rise is a historic breakthrough for the LGBTQ+ community, similar to Hillary Clinton’s win at the end of the 2016 primary was a breakthrough for women in the presidential field,” Faheem said. “From 2016, this Democratic field has seen more women gain traction than ever before. I hope the same happens for LGBTQ+ representation in the next presidential election. Pete Buttigieg proves that there is a path to gain public approval in the primary as a gay man.”

Faheem said Buttigieg has not “paid respect” to the communities he wants to represent.

“His campaign has done so well because he hasn’t had to challenge the norms,” Faheem said.

Buttigieg is currently in a strong position, leading in the number of pledged delegates nationally, which are used to earn the Democratic Party nomination, but will face voters once again Feb. 22 in Nevada, where former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen Elizabeth Warren and Tom Steyer poll stronger in the RealClearPolitics polling average of likely Democratic caucusgoers.

COLUMN

GARRETT HEYD/ IOWA STATE DAILY Editor-in-Chief Annelise Wells writes about what she learned writing about root beer. She believes that people should learn to appreciate the little things in life as well.

What I learned by writing a column about root beer It’s time to start caring about the little things

BY ANNELISE.WELLS @iowastatedaily.com A goal of mine this semester is to write a weekly column. As editor-in-chief, I don’t write as much as I used to and I want to make sure my writing skills, and portfolio, stay up to date and sharp.

My staff always jokes about my root beer obsession.

On any given day you can waltz into the newsroom and see at least one or two root beer bottles or cans on my

desk. It’s a staple in my diet, which may not be a good thing, but it’s become a habit nonetheless.

Sick of the crazy caucus news and with fewer ideas than usual, I joked about writing about my intense opinions about root beer brands. I really do enjoy trying different kinds of root beers, and it’s a small thing that makes me happy after a long day. I think we all have something small that we are truly passionate about, even if we don’t talk about it all the time.

My philosophy is that if we can’t appreciate the small things in life, such as a nice cold glass of root beer, then the world can be a very difficult place.

My staff encouraged me to actually write down this column idea I have had for a long time, and it was published last week on Friday. I was expecting backlash for writing about something so seemingly trivial and unimportant, especially amidst a crazy election cycle with breaking news every hour.

But I am so glad I did, because it connected me with some community members and taught me the importance of focusing on the fun parts of life sometimes.

I received multiple emails and even a letter to the editor discussing my column and people recommending me different kinds of root beer to try.

A friend from back home and her mother sent me some money to try some different craft root beers, which don’t worry, will be put to good use in my upcoming follow up column trying some of your recommendations.

Thank you for humoring me and engaging with our content, and please continue to do so. Let us know your thoughts and opinions, one of journalism’s goals is to create conversation, no matter what the subject may be.

So be on the look out for a part two with your suggestions, and if you want to recommend any drinks please feel free to send me an email at annelise.wells@ iowastatedaily.com. Also shoot me an email if you have ideas for other columns, editorials or submit your own letter to the editor.

If you think your opinion or topic isn’t important enough to be published, remember that I wrote about my root beer tier list that I didn’t think anyone would read.

COLUMN

Have a healthy relationship with yourself

BY ISD EDITORIAL BOARD Valentine’s Day is here and with it comes all the conversations of who one might be spending it with.

You may get asked if you have a possible date planned with a special someone, or perhaps you hoped by the time this day came up you would have someone to spend it with. But who said that in order for it to be a successful Valentine’s Day you had to spend it with a significant other?

Sure, the whole concept of Valentine’s Day revolves around the idea that people receive romantic gestures left and right from a special someone in their life.

Flowers, chocolates and teddy bears large and small are shoved in our faces telling us that we need someone to gift these to or receive these from someone else.

Overall the idea of Valentine’s Day is

about love, usually in the regards of receiving it from someone else. But let’s talk about the love we should give ourselves that is just as, if not more, important.

We shouldn’t need all these gestures on Valentine’s Day—although nice and appreciated—to remind us that we are loved. Love begins with ourselves.

Valentine’s Day shouldn’t revolve around the idea that being in love with someone else is the only way you can participate in the celebration. Celebrate the love you have for yourself in the way that you get through the hurdles in life and how although life may knock you down sometimes, you manage to get back up with a positively evolved mindset and some lessons learned.

You don’t need to be in a relationship in order to enjoy Valentine’s Day. Just like any other self-care day, dedicate this day

to reminding yourself how grateful you are for the things you have accomplished on your own. Remind yourself of all the things — big or little — that have helped you reach where you are today. Make this an extra special day for yourself.

For this lovely day, treat yourself the way you would want a future significant other to treat you. Make yourself breakfast in bed, write yourself an appreciative love letter that you want your future self to open when you are feeling down or pick out a snack at the store that you’ve always wanted to try.

Romanticize loving yourself, because it’s easy to forget that while we are in all these different kinds of relationships with others, we are also in a relationship with ourselves, and that relationship deserves the exact same kind of care and love that the others do.

Cyclone losses continue to grow Iowa State was lost without their top guard

BY ZANE.DOUGLAS @iowastatedaily.com The losses have piled up for Iowa State this season, but the most lopsided one yet came at the hands of an opponent it had already beaten: Oklahoma. Without sophomore guard Tyrese Haliburton, the team looked lost.

It wasn’t all bad, but the Cyclones were crushed by the Sooners 90-61 in Norman, Oklahoma, on Wednesday.

They’ll look to regroup, but with over half of conference play finished and a recent cold streak from their second best scorer, the Cyclones may be in for a tough end to the season.

LEWIS SCORES AT WILL Here’s the part of the equation that is not all bad. Junior guard Terrence Lewis saw a minutes increase after hitting two big threes to help close out Kansas State. Haliburton’s absence may have aided the bump as well.

Whatever the reason, Lewis took his new role and ran with it. The junior was gifted with 25 minutes of action and made the most of it with a 7-9 shooting day complete with 17 points and four rebounds.

Lewis also connected on 3-5 three-pointers while the rest of the team only hit on 6-20 from that range.

Before the game against Oklahoma, Head Coach Steve Prohm said Lewis would maybe be looking at increased playing time. This showed on Wednesday with Lewis being in for most of the game’s critical moments.

BOLTON GOES QUIET Losing the best player on the team can be tough to overcome, but when the second option isn’t picking up the slack, it can really hurt a team’s chances of winning.

This was the case for sophomore guard Rasir Bolton on Wednesday. The sophomore was only given 18 minutes and in that time, he connected on two three-pointers for six points. He missed every other shot he took

and ended with a 2-6 game.

Bolton also committed two personal fouls and a turnover while only barely grazing the stat sheet with one rebound and one assist.

For the season, Bolton has set up a secondary home at the free-throw line, as he is the only Cyclone with the ability to consistently draw shooting fouls, but he ended Wednesday with no free-throw attempts.

Against Kansas State, Bolton rode the bench in the second half for the run that would seal the game for the Cyclones due to a poor shooting performance of 3-13 from the field and 0-5 from three.

After shooting 41.3 percent from the field, 41.9 percent from three and 84.4 percent from the line in January while averaging 16.4 points per game, Bolton has fallen flat.

In February his clip is down to 31.9 percent from the field, 27.8 percent from three and

76.2 percent from the line — good for only 12.8 points per game.

GRILL HEATS UP With Haliburton out, the rotation was going to be something of a question mark, but the minutes distribution on Wednesday was different than anything Prohm has done this season.

Only Prentiss Nixon played more than 28 minutes, and Nixon was only subbing in for Haliburton after losing his starting job to Tre Jackson a few games prior. Nixon earned these minutes with a mediocre shooting performance, but he was able to impact the game in other ways with defense, passing and rebounding.

Nixon shot only 4-13 from the field and 2-8 from three, but 10 points along with seven rebounds and six assists made for a solid game from the senior.

Only three other players had over 20 minutes and they were an unusual bunch.

Redshirt junior and sophomore forwards Solomon Young and George Conditt played 40 minutes combined, never seeing the floor together and allowing Young to earn 22 minutes, but Lewis and freshman Caleb Grill played well enough to squeeze more than half a game of playing time out of Wednesday’s game.

Grill in particular needed a strong performance. The freshman had been struggling on the season — especially in conference play.

Grill came into the game with only one threepoint make in 14 attempts and had only nine points in his last eight games.

Grill hit on both of his three-point attempts and added another basket to give him an eight point game as he tripled his three-point total during conference play.

Cyclones ready to use home advantage against No. 7 Ohio University

BY JAMES.POWELL @iowastatedaily.com Coming in at 24th in the latest rankings, Cyclone Hockey remains on the outside looking in as it closes in on the end of its season, but arguably still controls its own destiny and that starts this weekend against the seventh-ranked Bobcats.

The Cyclones (17-13-2) are coming off an 0-2 trip to Illinois, falling 1-0 on Friday and 5-2 Saturday. With three weekends left until the CSCHL playoffs begin, this weekend will go a long way to determine if Cyclone Hockey is good enough to compete in the month of March.

“We’ve played the toughest schedule this season, every game counts [...] there’s a small margin of error as the season goes on,” said Head Coach Jason Fairman.

The tough schedule Fairman refers to culminates with a weekend series against Ohio, followed by

a Saturday-Sunday series at thirdranked Lindenwood. The schedule then wraps up the regular season in Ames against 17th-ranked Oklahoma.

After scoring two goals all of last weekend, the Cyclones are looking to capitalize on their chances more in order to hang with the offensive attack of the Bobcats, and being at home is one factor to use as motivation.

“It goes a long ways [...] even just getting a full week of practice in goes a long way”, defenseman Max Olson said.

The Cyclones outshot their Robert Morris counterparts 104-53. The Cyclones found the back of the net on only 1.9 percent of their shots, while Robert Morris scored on 11.3 percent of theirs.

With the youth of this team and the lack of skaters departing after this season —David Rutkowski and goalie Nikita Kozak are the only two listed as seniors — this team has more than just this season to build upon their success

generating chances this year, and will be looking to turn those chances into goals scored next year.

As for the Cyclone’s opponents this weekend, Ohio’s offense is one not to be taken lightly. Tyler Harkins has totaled a whopping 52 points this season, scoring 25 goals (Iowa State’s top scorer has scored 11). Gianni Evangelisti joins his teammate in the 50-point club, picking up 51.

Whichever Cyclones goalie is seen in net, they will have their hands full.

Aaron LaChance started both (and lost both) games last weekend, bringing his record to 3-2 on the season.

LaChance has been getting more work in between the pipes as the year has gone on, but if the Cyclones stick with their top-5 ACHA goalie in Kozak to combat the offense of the Bobcats, it could be tough for the Bobcats to keep up the pressure.

The games are scheduled to drop the puck at 7:30 at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena on Friday and Saturday.

08 LOVE

Iowa State Daily Friday, February 14, 2020 PG1

all together.”

Wahl said people love in different ways. The way someone loves their partner is completely different from the way someone loves their friends. He said love with a partner could be more romantic whereas love with friends could be more about trust and confidentiality.

People in romantic relationships and out of romantic relationships can display love in a wide variety of ways, depending on their relationship with the person and how everyone involved defines love.

In his book “The 5 Love Languages,” Gary Chapman explains that people show their love in five distinct ways: words of affirmation; acts of service; receiving gifts; quality time; and physical touch.

Depending on the relationship between different people, the way they show love for one another may differ, such as romantic partners using touch through sex while on the other side touch can be used by friends through hugs.

“Understanding how we want to receive love and how we want to give love can be challenging,” said Amy Popillion, teaching professor for human development and family studies. “‘Are we at a point that we can realize that there are things we need?’ For example in my relationship, I feel like we are further along, we have done a lot of communication around that. He had this crisis at work that literally took about two weeks and I was able to say the other day, ‘Okay I have been really supportive of you these two weeks and I have purposely done that but I can start to feel myself become lonely.’ That is why communication around love is important.”

Popillion also said that how people show love is how they think “feeling loved” is but those actions may not be enough or even the right actions for the receiving person.

One of the biggest and well-known ways of displaying love for another person is simply saying the phrase “I love you,” which ties in as “words of affirmation” for Chapman.

“To be ‘in love’ is the recognition of being in that state of emotion, of finding yourself in a position where you have that connection to another person,” Wahl said. “Recognition of emotion,

EXHIBIT

recognition of a connection, that would be being ‘in love.’”

In a Psycholog y Today artic le, Aaron Ben-Ze’ev, a professor from the University of Haifa, Israel, said it does not matter who says “I love you” first, or who says it more frequently, just as it does not matter whether you are the first or the second on your partner’s romantic and sexual list.

“What matters is the profundity of your relationship and the way it develops. Timing and ranking are of no concern—depth and flourishing are what count. In light of the above considerations, in many circumstances, an appropriate response to a declaration of love might be ‘I think I love you, but I can’t be sure whether it is profound love until we’ve been together longer,’” according to the Psychology Today website.

One conversation around the phrase “I love you” is that people fear it.

“People fear saying ‘I love you’ because it exposes vulnerability,” Wahl said. “Once you say you love someone, you have exposed yourself. You are now vulnerable and people fear to be in vulnerable situations. Once you say that you do not know if someone is going to say it back to you, you are putting a lot out there.”

Wahl also said people may put too much importance on the phrase.

“It goes beyond just ‘I feel this way about you,’ people put on a lot more connotations on to that almost like it is a binding contract,” Wahl said. “‘Once I say that to her I can’t take that back,’ like it is some sort of binding contract.”

Wahl said people may also avoid using the phrase to try and avoid pain.

It may bring up pain for others or avoiding it may help lessen pain if a relationship ends.

“I definitely know in my life where I have grown up with trauma, I had grown up with people saying they loved me but yet they were also physically abusive at the same time, that creates a really strong contradiction,” Popillion said. “So when you get in a healthy relationship it is really confusing, you might always be waiting for the bomb to drop.”

Love is also more than just feelings, it can potentially affect someone’s mental health if they feel they lack it.

“Although almost no one can agree on a single definition of love, most people do agree that love plays a significant

role in both physical and psychological well-being,” according to the Good Therapy website. “Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of love.”

The Good Therapy website listed some examples of the effects of feeling unloved. These include: the fact that babies who are not shown love and affection in the form of frequent holding and cuddling may be developmentally delayed or ill; feeling unloved is strongly correlated with feelings of low self-esteem and depression; people who both feel loved by others and who report loving other people tend to be happier; and love can play a role in longterm health and feeling emotionally connected may help increase immunity.

“Love is important because it situates us in a position with another person where there is a strong emotional bond,” Wahl said. “It is those strong emotional bonds which mean so much to us as human beings. We want those bonds so that we have someone else that we can relate to, to share values and beliefs, to share our most intimate secrets, someone that will be there when we get into trouble or need help, love is a bit co-dependent.”

One thing to point out is also the difference between love and lust, both of which are often connected with extreme emotions.

“Especially in the early stages of a relationship, it can be difficult to tell the difference between love and lust,” according to the Good Therapy website. “Both are associated with physical attraction and an intoxicating rush of feel-good chemicals, coupled with an often overwhelming desire to be closer to another person, but only one is long-lasting: love.”

Love is something that is cultivated between two people and grows over time, through getting to know a partner and experiencing life’s many ups and downs together. It involves commitment, time, mutual trust and acceptance.

“Lust, on the other hand, has to do with the sex-driven sensations that draw people toward one another initially and is fueled primarily by the urge to procreate,” according to the Good Therapy website. “Characterized by sex hormones and idealistic infatuation, lust blurs our ability to see a person for who [they] truly are and consequently, it may or may not lead to a long-term relationship.”

him, “You did it! It is because of you—the men that created this white supremacy—that this man is dead. You are not guilty, but you did it [...] Your mills, your cities, your rape of a continent started all this,” according to the novel “On the Side of My People: A Religious Life of Malcolm X,” by Louis A. DeCaro.

The film also briefly tells the story of Medgar Evers; an American civil rights activist in Mississippi, the state’s field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and a World War II veteran who had served in the United States Army. It also portrays Evers’ assassination as he was struck in the back with a bullet and died shortly after being admitted as the first black patient at an all white hospital facility. A funeral procession of nearly 5,000 led by civil rights leaders Allen Johnson, Reverend Martin Luther King and others followed suit.

The film additionally highlights the life of Martin Luther King Jr., an American Christian minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement leading up to his death when he was fatally shot by James Earl Ray at 6:01 p.m., April 4, 1968, from the Lorraine motel’s second-floor balcony in Memphis. The assassination led to a nationwide wave of race riots in Washington, D.C., Chicago, Baltimore, Louisville, Kansas City and dozens of other cities and the establishment of an annual holiday to honor King known as Martin Luther King Jr. Day. “The root of the black man’s hatred is rage, and he does not so much hate the white man as simply as want the out of his way, and, more than that, out of his children’s way,” Baldwin said. “The root of the white man’s hatred is terror, a bottomless and nameless terror, which focuses on this dread figure, an entity which lives only in his mind.”

The movie featured classic musical works recognizing black artists of several eras in the soundtrack including: “The Ballad of Birmingham,” “Damn Right I’ve Got The Blues,” “The Jailhouse Blues,” “Just A Dream (On My Mind),” “Big Road Blues,” “Baby,” “Please Don’t Go,” “Route 66,” “Black Brown and White,” “Stormy Weather,” “People Get Up And Drive Your Funky Soul,” “Take My Hand Precious Lord” and “The Blacker The Berry.”

It also paid tribute to more recent victims of police brutality including Tamir Rice, Darius Simmons, Trayvon Martin, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, Christopher McCray, Cameron Tillman and Amir Brooks.

It examined typical Hollywood stereotypes of the black menace and subservience through the visual representation in clips of scenes from other films and movies including “Dance, Fools, Dance’” “Imitation of Life,” “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner,” “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” and more.

“History is not the past,” Baldwin said. “It is the present.

We carry our history with us. We are our history. If we pretend otherwise, we are literally criminals. I attest to this: the world is not white; it never was white, cannot be white. White is a metaphor for power, and that is simply a way of describing Chase Manhattan Bank.”

The film is available for Iowa State students or those with a Kanopy streaming account for free viewing, through Amazon Prime video for 99 cents, YouTube, Vudu or Google Play Movies & TV for $2.99, iTunes for $4.99 and additional streaming services. A limited number of physical copies are also available for checkout at Parks Library.

A different style of piece was composed of a mannequin torso with a white t-shirt over it with black spray painted designs on it. Embedded in the torso is a small screen with a beating heart. Instead of a head, there is a screen with a talking woman’s face on it.

Another interesting work in the exhibition was a chair set up in front of eight screens.

On the screens were various images switching over time and multiple of the screens where covered in red paint.

The show also featured a collaborative painting with Iowa State alumnus Chris Vance, a nationally known artist based in Bondurant. Vance received a bachelor of fi ne arts in visual studies from Iowa State in 2000.

The piece created with Vance is titled “Collab I” and made from a mix of acrylic, alcohol marker and archival ink on masonite. The piece is full of various geometric shapes with red and blue colors spread throughout.

For the final day of the exhibition, gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“I see my artworks as key footnotes on an endless forward time-line,” D’Cruz said.

“As the work grows so should I. In the most simple terms, I wish to share my voice. The art is the language in which I share my story.

My life is a novel and these paintings are the pages.”

D’Cr uz has also exhibited his work locally, including the “Studies in Creativity” and “Art Inspired” exhibitions at the Iowa State Memorial Union; Octagon Arts Festival in Ames; Waukee Arts Festival; “Limited Space II” and “Limited Space III” at the Des Moines Social Club; “Art in the Park” in Okoboji; and “Light and Dark Exhibition” at Polk County Heritage Gallery.

He is a member of the Des Moines artist collective Paintpushers, where he met Vance, which led to an internship in Vance’s studio last summer, according to the College of Design website.

D’Cruz will receive a bachelor of fine arts in graphic design in May and he said he hopes to pursue a career as a multidisciplinary artist and designer.
