Sewing Her Way to Success The blooming fashion career of Lauren Hansen

BY TANA.GAMAD @iowastatedaily.com Pin-pricked fingers and late nights are a staple in the silk-wrapped, hand-beaded universe of Lauren Hansen.

From folding out paper clothes for her stuffed animals to spending hundreds of hours on the makings of hundred-dollar couture pieces, this young, self-taught designer has evolved along with her work in the most stunning of ways.

Taking a needle to cloth for the first time at age seven to quilt with her grandmother was the very first step for Hansen, a freshman in apparel, merchandising and design. This was followed by a renewed dedication to the art with a Jo-Ann’s sewing class in 2014, resulting in handing out numerous pajama pants and circle skirts to friends and family.

Since then, a cascade of clothing projects has worked its way into her hands time and time again to weave themselves into the very fabric of her being.

“The very first thing that I made myself was [put] together with random fabric from a COURTESY OF LAUREN HANSEN tub I found at a garage sale and lace curtains,” Lauren Hansen at her first self-produced Hansen said. “It was this dress I puzzle-pieced together without knowing how to drape, and fashion show, “On Runway,” at The Hall in Des Moines on Thursday. the skirt was a horrible material, but I did it

anyway. You just have to keep going.”

With love for making visual art in general, Hansen directed her focus into fashion through middle school and high school. After joining the Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), she threw herself into designing her very first four-piece collection and now releases annual collections, racking up accolades and exposure along the way.

With a sense of pride and in an almost giddy manner, Hansen discussed her progress.

“I became a featured designer at Omaha Fashion Week the first time I showed there at age 16, which was pretty cool,” Hansen said.

“I’ve been doing shows since then, and now I’m 14 shows deep and still going.”

During this time, her love of craft shone through after learning to hand bead from watching YouTube videos. Now, a mainstay feature in her brand’s aesthetic, the product of tedious handiwork decorates almost all of her pieces in intricate patterns.

“I like doing tedious work,” Hansen said.

“I think it’s because I have this thing where I always have to do something with my hands.

[Hand beading] became my art form.”

A Story City native, Hansen looks at reaching outside of living in the middle of Iowa and having a broader outlook in life as something that informs her designs.

“Getting to know more cultures, more people and more kinds of things that are out there all affect the way I design,” Hansen said.

Primarily a formal wear designer, Hansen’s

Student Government debates funding for Latin Dance Club

BY CASSIE.LEHMANN @iowastatedaily.com Student Government began its meeting searching for quorum before moving on to reviewing funding requests Wednesday night.

The Descarga Latin Dance club requested their travel and registration expenses to the Chicago Salsa and Bachata Festival in April to be covered by the Senate Discretionary account of $641.49.

Finance committee member Sen. Kaitlyn Roling, senior in chemical engineering, and Sen. Morgan Fritz, sophomore in political science, said they had concerns about funding the bill.

“Past the point of the workshops, it turns

into a very large dance party,” Roling said.

“I have one point that’s even explicitly mentioned that it’s the biggest rave in Chicago.

I’m not sure if this is something we want to be funding.”

Sen. Fritz continued the opposing argument.

“I think if [Student Government] funds this, we have to recognize that while yes, there are workshops for this event, this is also paying for concert tickets,” Fritz said.

Sen. Ian Searles, senior in geology, defended the bill and mentioned that although the conference isn’t deemed to be a “traditional” conference, there are still educational benefits for the club to attend.

“I would also like just to say that multiple

people have said if it were the ballroom club, we wouldn’t have a problem funding it,” Searles said. “So I would like to ask us, why are we so inclined to fund ballroom, but when it’s a Latin dance club, we have a problem with it? Is that not an inherent bias there? As soon as there is some cultural dance club, we have a problem and spend 30 minutes debating a $600 funding request from a $16,000 budget. That seems like an issue to me.”

With a vote of 23-0-0, the bill passed.

Additionally, Senate reviewed a bill to fund the Healthy Walk event on April 1. Student Government will be handing out snacks and drinks during the mile-long walk.

The bill passed with a vote of 23-0-0.

COURTESY OF CHILD CARE & FAMILY SERVICES Iowa State has created a task force due to a lack of high-quality affordable child care on campus.

Task force to examine amount of child care on campus

BY MORRGAN.ZMOLEK @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State is tackling the lack of high-quality affordable child care available on campus with the help of a task force formed last fall.

This task force was given the assignment of seeking out both short-term and longterm implementations that would aid in this issue. A report on those findings is expected to be published next month.

Kristi Darr, interim vice president of university human resources; Carolyn Cutrona, graduate college associate dean; and Dawn Bratsch-Prince, associate provost for faculty, are all co-chairs working on the task force.

“As the task force works through its recommendations, we have been focusing on creating strong community partnerships and talking about how to sustain the momentum from the group,” Darr said. “Appropriately addressing the child care needs is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It will take a collaborative effort over a long period of time to address the needs that we have as a community.”

The task force is reviewing recommendations from the Graduate and Professional Student Senate, a report compiled by a faculty experience workgroup, and input from the University Child Care Committee and Iowa State’s child care and family resources offi ce, including its 2015 feasibility study.

Child care access also was a common issue identified in the 2017 campus climate survey.

In addition, there was a student survey sent out this month by child care and family resources that students who are soon-to-be parents or who already have a child are encouraged to complete so that the task force can have as much data possible about the population of student parents.

The survey should take no more than 10 to 15 minutes.

Participation in this sur vey is voluntary, and respondents’ answers will be kept completely anonymous and confidential.

Individuals who complete the survey have the option to be entered into a drawing for one of eight $25 Visa gift cards.

Craft for Black History Month The Workspace offers Ankara bracelet making to public

BY ASHLEY.MARTINEZ-TORRES @iowastatedaily.com Students can make Ankara bracelets at the Union Workspace for Black History Month.

Maria O’Brien, senior in interior design, has worked at the Workspace since her freshman year. “ This is our first year doing [Ankara bracelets],” O’Brien said. “We’ve done other Black History Month walk-in crafts that celebrated other things in the African and African American cultures.”

Ankara fabric, also known as African Wax Printing, Holland wax and Dutch wax, is a type of fabric characterized by its colorful prints. West Africa is a popular place where the fabric is used in clothing, purses, jewelry and other things.

“I think it’s an interesting event and a good way to educate more people about

different types of cultures that ’s in the American culture and also cultures that connect to various American cultures because [the U.S] is like a mixing pot,” O’Brien said.

“We don’t really have a culture; it’s more like we are borrowing from others.”

Even though the Workspace might be a

little bit hard to find, students enjoy participating in the activities it offers.

Alex Stanger, freshman in computer engineering, attended the workshop Tuesday. “[Making the bracelets] is enjoyable,” Stanger said. “It’s not too hard. It’s kind of a learning curve because you have to use

thread and needle and stuff like that; I’m not really artistic, but I’m having a good time.”

Students can make Ankara bracelets at the Union Workspace for Black History Month starting Friday 2 to 9 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“Making bracelets is my favorite thing,” said Mira Seok, freshman in interior design.

“I think it’s a fun event; I really like doing arts and crafts in my free time. I’m part of a DIY club that meets four times a semester [...], and as a design student, I do a lot of crafts.”

This event is open to the public and all ages, if accompanied by an adult, for the price of $6. Registration is not required. “ We try to give representation to the people that are part of that group; we try really hard not to appropriate the culture when we do our crafts but learn and understand from it when we are putting together the bracelets,” O’Brien said.

The Workspace is located in the east basement of the Memorial Union building. Attendees can reach out to the staff at the information desk for directions to the basement.

Workspace also offers its open studio and materials at affordable fees to anyone that needs a place to work.

Film screening features life of Harriet Tubman

BY DAI’TYNN.COPPAGE-WALKER @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s Student Union Board hosted a film screening based on the iconic and inspirational life of an American freedom fighter. “Harriet” was shown Wednesday night in Carver Hall.

The planned discussion panel did not make it to the film screening, but the facilitator decided to have an open discussion and description of the film instead.

“I think everyone can agree that the impacts of the past and today revolve around her being a role model and inspiration to everyone as well, and she really focuses on helping us move into discussions of gender and racial [bias], and [we’ve] all been really working to break that mold,” said a speaker at the screening.

The film highlights the struggles of African Americans during the times of slavery and how, despite all of the challenges, still fought for freedom. It brings awareness to racism and women’s rights.

Born in 1822, Araminta “Minty” Ross Tubman and her family lived on a plantation in Dorchester County, Maryland, where they were slaves to plantation owners.

She was struck in the head from stepping in between an overseer who was getting ready to throw a heavyweight on a fugitive slave. This made a huge dent on her head and left her with headaches and narcolepsy. Due to her head trauma, she had vivid hallucinations and dreams, including receiving messages from God. Tubman was a devoted Christian and made many references towards God during her expedition to freedom.

In 1849, Tubman went to her master, Edwin Brodess, requesting to become free, since he had promised her that she would be free when her parents turned 45, but her master broke his promise.

Eventually, Tubman was put up for sale, so she decided to escape. She met up with her father who was free, and her father guided her to the church to get prayers from a pastor.

Everyone was afraid for her journey since she was highly wanted. The pastor told her to follow the North Star. This would guide her to Pennsylvania.

Tubman decided to keep her mother’s name “Harriet” and her husband’s last name, “Tubman.”

Tubman was missing her husband and her family and wanted to go back to free them. She managed to free her family and friends, despite the challenges

that she had to face.

“Later in 1863, two years into the Civil War, Tubman [led] a raid that [freed] 750 slaves,” according to IMDb.com. “She [returned] home to Canada, where she [lived] with most of her family that she rescued, a free woman.”

Tubman had a lot of impact on the Civil War. According to History.org, she was recruited to assist fugitive slaves at Fort Monroe, where she used her knowledge to help treat sick soldiers and fugitive slaves.

Tubman also provided crucial intelligence to Union commanders about Confederate Army supply routes and troops and helped liberate slaves to form black Union regiments.

“Slavery is still alive,” Tubman said in the film.

“Those rice fields downriver are feeding rebel troops with the toil of a thousand slaves still in bondage.

Our mission is to free those slaves. We’ve waited years to be allowed to fight in this war against our own enslavement, and it will not be won without us.

Now is our time. You ready to kill the snake?”

About 115 organizations will attend the spring 2020 Design Career Fair from noon to 5 p.m.Thursday in the Scheman Building to speak with students and alumni.

Hosted by the College of Design, the career fair will provide students and alumni the opportunity to connect with employers and learn about potential opportunities and internships in the design field.

At the fair, students will be able to introduce themselves to a variety of professionals and network with the employers to build connections, regardless of whether the student is searching for employment or not.

The event will be managed by CyHire, an online resource used by all colleges at Iowa State to equip students and alumni with the necessary tools for making connections with employers.

Before the career fair, students can use CyHire to research the companies and organizations that will be present so they can get an idea of whom they want to speak to. CyHire is available for use by students, alumni, faculty and employers and can be found at cyhire.iastate.edu.

Tiffany Atilano, program coordinator for the design administration department, is the Career Services director for the College of Design. She emphasizes the importance of utilizing the CyHire system throughout the career fair.

“Students that plan to attend should be using CyHire to learn about the employers that are participating and the opportunities available through those employers,” Atilano said.

It is recommended that students should also prepare for the career fair by brainstorming what they may want to ask the employers as well as what they may want to tell the employers about themselves. It is also suggested that students bring copies of their resume.

Space will be made available for interviews that students and alumni schedule with organizations at the career fair. The interviews will take place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday at the King Pavilion at the College of Design.

The organizations registered for the career fair are allowed exhibit spaces of six feet wide and include a table, two chairs, electricity and wireless Internet access, according to the College of Design’s website.

Legislature debating bill on religious freedom

Students learn how to negotiate salaries

BY ELI.HARRIS @iowastatedaily.com

BY ASHLEY.MARTINEZ-TORRES @iowastatedaily.com

The Iowa Senate is currently debating a bill that advocates say would protect religious liberty but opponents argue would allow for greater discrimination in the business world.

Senate File 508 would require a heightened scrutiny standard for a legal case brought against a person who claims their actions to be in accordance with their religious convictions. If enacted, the legislation may make it easier for claims of religious freedom to be upheld in court.

The bill requires that proof of a compelling government interest must be shown if a burden will be placed on a person’s religious liberties. Any burdens imposed must be as unrestrictive as possible.

Sen. Dennis Guth, R-Klemme, an advocate of the bill, said Iowa is “lagging” behind the rest of the United States in terms of protecting religious freedom.

Twenty-one states have adopted legislation reinforcing the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993. The current version before the Iowa Senate sub-committee is similar in construction to section three of the federal version.

Guth cited cases from the past in Iowa where religious freedom may have been motivation for introducing the legislation, including the denial of tenure for an Iowa State instructor, which the instructor said was due to his views on intelligent design. He also referenced the case of a couple that closed their business after being sued for refusing to host a same-sex wedding, citing their faith as the reason.

Mack Shelley, Iowa State professor and chair of the political science department, said the bill may also be a measure for Iowa Republicans to energize their base.

“It was just so clearly written to benefit conser vative Christian groups,” Shelley said.

Despite what the original intent may have been, Shelley said he thought Iowa’s courts would apply it to all citizens because the bill does not mention a specific religion.

Neither Guth nor Shelley had confidence that the proposed legislation will ever be enacted.

Guth voiced doubt it would survive a committee vote. Shelley characterized the likelihood of it passing as “uncertain” because of the slim majority that Republicans hold in the Iowa House. “ There will be grandstanding all around,” Shelley said.

Shelley said Democrats from relatively rural areas might have to be careful in how they treat the legislation as they may face voter response in the next election, and Republicans would be in the same situation in swing counties.

Referring to Iowa Democrats, Shelley said, “They can make life difficult for the marginal Republican.”

Shelley raised potential issues with the legislation, estimating it would result in a loss of business for the state due to businesses not wanting an increased risk of lawsuits.

Guth disagreed.

“Around the world, the more religious freedom we have, the better economics are,” Guth said.

The Margaret Sloss Center for Women and Gender Equity and the Program for Women in Science and Engineering hosted a workshop to teach Iowa State students how to negotiate their salary when starting a new job.

Cara Stone, the instruction librarian for Parks Library, was the speaker at the American Association of University Women (AAUW ) Start Smart Salary Negotiation Workshop on Wednesday in Carver Hall Room 0204.

Food was provided for students that attended the event.

The main focus of the workshop was four key steps to negotiating a person’s salary during an interview and after a person is hired.

Stone started her presentation by talking about the gender pay gap, the difference between what average working women and men are paid and how it affects women.

Women working full time in the U.S. were typically paid 82 percent of men’s salaries in 2018, a gap of 18 percent, according to AAUW. During “Step 1: Know Your Value” activities, students could talk with each other and ask Stone questions. The students said they enjoyed these activities because it helped them think about their own value as employees, their accomplishments and their contributions, past or present.

Classes offer tools for caregivers

No w, c a re g i ve r s c a n fi n d help with Powerful Tools for Caregivers, a series of classes from Iowa State Extension and Outreach.

“Parenting is rewarding but challenging,” Malisa Rader, human sciences specialist with Extension and Outreach, said in a press release. “The same is true for parenting a child with special needs, but the challenges can be more extreme. With appointments to juggle, medications to manage and special diets to follow, caring for a child with special health or behavioral needs can drain a family’s energy and finances.”

The end result can be poor health, mental distress and less life satisfaction for the parent or caregiver of the child with special health and behavioral needs, Rader said.

“Parent caregivers need to know they are not alone,” Rader said.

“Powerful Tools for Caregivers shares ideas to help parents and other caregivers take better care of themselves while caring for a child with special health or behavioral needs.”

COURTESY OF MELISSA VOBR/ IOWA STATE DAILY Caregivers can find help with Powerful Tools for Caregivers, a series of classes from Iowa State Extension and Outreach.

In 2020, Extension and O utreach will be offering Powerful Tools for Caregivers classes specifically for parent caregivers of young children and teens or adult children with disabilities, as well as classes for

caregivers of older adults.

Powerful Tools for Caregivers is designed to empower family caregivers to take better care of themselves. Classes are led by a pair of certified class leaders for two primary audiences.

The first audience is caregivers of adults with chronic conditions, and the classes are offered as six 90-minute or two-and-a-half hour workshops.

The second audience is caregivers of children with special health and behavioral needs, and the classes are offered as six twohour workshops.

The topics of the class include: Taking Care of You; Identifying and Reducing Personal Stress;

EDITORIAL

PAULA BEKKERUS/ IOWA STATE DAILY ISD Editorial Board warns of the snowy treks students make across campus. With the constantly changing weather, the board encourages students to utilize the bus system and be wary of the quick changes in climate.

Be prepared for campus travel Being wary of the weather is important as you trek to classes this winter season

BY ISD EDITORIAL BOARD As most of you know, weather around the Midwest seems to change every day, especially during the winter season and as we transition into (hopefully) spring. In February, we can have sunshine days that reach up to 40 degrees, and we can have blizzard days with wind chills in the negative double digits, all within a week.

While it’s nice to hope for more of the former weather, the harsh truth of Iowa winters is just that: harsh. Especially with that good old Iowa wind, it’s important to dress appropriately when you head out for class. The Iowa State Daily Editorial Board encourages you

to take caution when crossing campus in these winter weather conditions, and below are some ways you can do that.

CyRide is an extremely helpful service that not only can take you across campus but can take you across Ames. While a walk across campus to your 8 a.m. in the fall may be quite nice, that same walk may be able to cause frostbite if you aren’t properly dressed and covered. It’s especially important to take advantage of using CyRide during these less-than-ideal weather conditions, and make sure to thank your bus driver for driving in winter weather so you don’t have to.

But if you are walking across campus, ensure to take your time, especially if it’s very icy out. With temperatures dropping and rising so quickly, a lot of pools of water on campus can freeze overnight quickly.

Take short steps and walk slowly; oftentimes, “walking like a penguin” can be beneficial. If you do feel that you’re falling, try to avoid landing on your arms and fall with your “sequential contacts

at your thigh, hip and shoulder.”

Make sure to take designated walkways without cutting through snow. All you will end up with are frozen pant legs and wet socks.

When it comes to clothing, it’s all about layers. Long socks and winter boots are a must for snowy and cold days. Make sure to wear clothing that is tighter to the body, cover up your fingers with gloves and wear a hat on your head. According to Mayo Clinic, in windchill temperatures below minus 15, the risk of frostbite is increased, and in windchill temperatures below minus 27, frostbite can begin on exposed skin in less than half an hour. So don’t be that one kid wearing shorts just to be cool; there can be serious impacts on your health.

All of those years of your mom reminding you to put your gloves, scarf and hat on were for an important reason!

The Iowa State environmental health and safety department website has more tips and tricks on dressing for the weather, driving, cancellations and more. Stay warm out there, Cyclones.

A lawyer, a veterinarian, a pastry chef (specifically pastries) and a Disney princess actress at Disney World were frequent fliers on my list, but the list itself was about eight miles long. If you are familiar with the computer game “The Sims,” I have always essentially had the Renaissance Sim aspiration; I wanted to be good at everything and all at once.

Obviously, it is impossible and expensive to get the degrees necessary to do every profession, but try telling that to an excited nine-year-old. My childhood ambition was fine up until my senior year of high school when I needed to actually pick a college and a major. In my small high school, I hadn’t found anything I was really great at, so when

I found something I slightly enjoyed — mass communications — I snapped it up and decided to major in it.

College is the ideal time for people to discover who they are, what they are meant to do and where they are meant to go; with about one hundred majors just here at Iowa State, there are plenty of opportunities to try out a few classes before settling into one that feels right.

Unfortunately, there is a limit to the amount of classes you can try before you need to make a choice, and some majors have a lot of prerequisites before you can make it to classes with the actual content. Though the college experience is marketed as “limitless,” four years isn’t enough time to try everything. You really can’t “do it all.” The major-choosing experience is more of a choose-yourown-adventure: lots of branching paths, but each path has limited options.

Now, as I’m reaching the end of my run at Iowa State, I’m fairly satisfied with my adventure; however, I’m still left with a little voice in the back of my

head that’s asking, “Did you do the right thing?” I’m finishing my mass communications major — I did like it, and I am still a headstrong nine-year-old in my bones — but I found a real love with criminal justice from an elective class, so much so that I chose to double major in it and continue to law school. But I can’t help but wonder what my college experience would have been like had I chosen to do animal science or agricultural business like my siblings.

During your first semester, try as many classes as you can. Talk to your adviser if you have any inkling of wanting to try a new class; it’s what they are there for. Don’t feel any shame about changing minors six times; I did! Don’t wait until the semester is over to switch declared majors or minors; there is no minimum, maximum or penalty for doing so. With every semester that passes, your choose-your-own-adventure path options get smaller and smaller. Be adventurous, but be mindful of these limitations.

THE

FINAL HOME DUAL

BY STEPHEN.MCDANIEL @iowastatedaily.com

In just a blink of an eye, the Iowa State 201920 wrestling season has nearly come and gone with the Cyclones preparing for their final weekend of duals before competing in the Big 12 and NCAA tournament.

SOME NEW FACES TO THE LINEUP With plans to put Jarrett Degen, David Carr, Sam Colbray and Marcus Coleman into a tournament on Saturday for the purposes of getting more matches for the NCAA tournament, some new faces will be joining the lineup for Saturday’s dual with Missouri.

“It’s more of a strategic move, so we’re going to go with some starters and some backups to Missouri,” Head Coach Kevin Dresser said.

At 174, Cyclone fans may see redshirt sophomore Mac Southard fill in for Colbray. Southard was listed as an “OR” during last weekend’s duals with West Virginia and Northern Iowa.

At 184, Cyclone fans could see the dual debut of a familiar name: Hank Swalla. The redshirt senior was just honored before the Northern Iowa dual for senior night. Hank has continued the tradition of having a Swalla family member on the team for the last 10 years.

Swalla may be the option for the Cyclones.

The only other listed 184-pounder on the team is freshman Julien Broderson, who’s being redshirted.

A CHALLENGE ISSUED Electric is the only word that could describe the scene of Hilton Coliseum during Iowa State’s comeback against Northern Iowa.

A crowd of 5,129 people packed into Hilton, and the Cyclone fans did a great job of providing some Hilton Magic for the Cyclones, which is something Dresser wants to see again.

GRANT TETMEYER/ IOWA STATE DAILY Redshirt freshman Joel Shapiro faces off against Isaiah Patton during Iowa State’s 18-16 victory over No. 16 Northern Iowa on Feb. 16 at Hilton.

“I remember one time in the third period [in the Northern Iowa dual], I probably needed 20 more seconds of riding time, and everyone starts standing up and got super loud, and I’m like, ‘Alright, I’m getting that riding time point now for sure,’” redshirt freshman Joel Shapiro said. “I just felt that energy; it was amazing.”

Dresser issued the challenge for Iowa State fans to make it back for the Cyclones final home dual to close the season out, which

is at 7 p.m. Sunday against North Dakota State.

UPDATED INTERMAT RANKINGS With a new week comes new InterMat rankings. There were some slight changes in the rankings after the weekend duals.

Despite the major upset, Sam Colbray moved up two spots to No. 14, sitting behind Oklahoma State’s Joe Smith, whom Colbray lost to a few weeks ago. Despite the loss, Steiert

Iowa State comes together despite loss against Horned Frogs

BY JOHN.MILLER @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s 82-72 loss to the TCU Horned Frogs on Sunday may be a step down after coming in having won three straight games.

Those inc luded victories over Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and perhaps most importantly, Texas, on its path to make a case for the NCAA Tournament.

Those wins built momentum for the team heading toward the end of the season. But if anything, it revealed some crucial details down the stretch that could come into play as the Cyclones continue to build their case to play in the NCAA Tournament.

INTERIOR DEFENSE Against TCU, Iowa State allowed 42 points in the paint, the most the Cyclones have allowed in the paint all season. And while that may seem problematic for Head Coach Bill Fennelly’s group, interior defense is something that the Cyclones have

not really struggled with this year.

Iowa State arguably limited the most dominant post presence in the conference in Oklahoma State’s Natasha Mack on Feb. 5 to an 8-for-21 shooting night. While she finished with 18 points, those points were earned through tougher shots than she has been used to seeing.

Rebounding statistics have shown Iowa State’s ability to battle down low as well among the conference teams.

As a team, Iowa State is second in the Big 12 in rebounds by the opponent (34.38 per game). Individually, Ashley Joens ranks fourth in the Big 12 at 10.8 rebounds per game, and Kristin Scott is tenth with 7.5 per game. Scott ranks sixth in the Big 12 in blocks with 46 (1.8 per game).

One of the best things about the duo is their ability to play on the outside and inside on offense and COLLIN MAGUIRE/ IOWA STATE DAILY Kristin Scott attempts a 3-pointer defense, making it difficult for on Nov. 7. teams to match up.

remains at No. 5 at 174.

Degen was just knocked out of the top 10 and placed at No. 11 following his loss to newly ranked No. 10 Max Thomsen.

Alex Mackall dropped two spots to No. 14 after suffering a pin against now No. 13 Jay Schwarm.

Lastly, Gannon Gremmel jumped a spot to No. 13 and is now ahead of Northern Iowa’s Carter Isley after Gremmel beat Isley during the Cyclones and Panthers dual.

But even players like Morgan Kane and Inès Nezer wa fulfill important defensive roles off the bench for Iowa State. Taking tough shots in the post is something Iowa State forces out of other teams, but what the Cyclones did on Sunday was allow a lot of dribble penetration from guards, which has to be limited going forward.

PLAYERS STEPPING UP Limiting the scoring of Joens is a priority every game for the opponent. Joens, the Big 12 leading scorer, has tormented defenses this year on her way to an average of 20.9 points per game. At one point, that average was higher than 23, showing that defenses are keying on her lately. That only gives other players a chance to step up and take the defense’s attention off Joens and show their worth for the Cyclones.

Adriana Camber scored 18 points against TCU, including a 5-11 performance from beyond the 3-point line.

Maggie Espenmiller-McGraw has also shown glimpses of being a key third scoring option for Iowa State as she reached a streak of four consecutive games of double-digit points earlier in the season. Rae Johnson even scored 10 points against Texas and 8 points against Oklahoma.

Perhaps the most surprising is Scott’s recent success. Quietly, Scott has worked her way to 11th in the Big 12 in scoring at 15 points per game and had put up 15 points or more in the last seven games. Scott’s consistency has been overlooked thanks to the season Joens has experienced, but Scott and the rest of the Cyclones will have to continue to step up as defenses continue to load up on Joens.

NEW NCAA/BIG 12 STANDINGS In the latest ESPN Bracketology, the Cyclones came in as a projected 10 seed.

As for Big 12 Standings, the Cyclones stand at 7-6 in conference play — just one game behind Texas in third place and a half-game ahead of Kansas State in fifth.

Looking ahead, Iowa State won the first game against two out of the five teams it has remaining on the schedule. That said, 10 wins is a solid goal for Iowa State to end conference play to increase its odds of making the tournament.

It is also worth mentioning that the selection committee is known for often siding with a fewer-loss major conference team rather than a high-win mid-major team on the bubble. In that case, Iowa State’s case is helped by playing in a highly competitive conference.

Green Day’s

“Father of all...” is mainstream rock music’s eulogy

BY TREVOR.BABCOCK @iowastatedaily.com In the summer of 2018, a leaked Green Day album circulated amongst the internet.

While unconfirmed, the leak came complete with singles, artwork, studio footage and the title “Magnum Opus Of The Inglorious Kind.” The leaked music sounded genuine to Green Day’s music, but in actuality, the leaks were part of a calculated viral scheme by a Canadian pop-punk band by the name of Panicland. The songs were made as a “fan fiction” project, with band members aiming for how they personally want a new Green Day album to sound like.

From the “leaked” material, Panicland aimed for the grandiose rock-opera approach akin to “American Idiot” and “21st Century Breakdown” while borrowing both from the pop and punk portions of Green Day’s catalog.

Panicland’s Green Day fan-fiction project in the year 2020 sounds more like Green Day than Green Day. When Green Day released the title track for the album as the lead single, the band completely shed what was left of their distinct musical identity. In an attempt to create “100% pure, uncut

rock,” the band sonically travels back to the early 2000s to partake in generic rock trends they missed out on while making “American Idiot.”

Billie Joe Armstrong’s fuzzed out vocal performance is unrecognizable and unintelligible, as he ridiculously attempts to capture the essence of rock music through one of rock’s worst periods of time.

The album artwork for “Father of All…” is a symbol for Green Day’s artistic process behind the album itself. The scene of a drugged-up unicorn vomiting directly onto an “American Idiot” album backdrop is the perfect symbolism for what Green Day accomplishes on their new album.

The sound Green Day possessed on “American Idiot” contained enough originality to stand out in a rock market shared by a garage rock revival trend that ultimately overstayed its welcome.

What pushes “Father of All...” from just a cheap attempt to champion rock music in the mainstream to a flat-out insult to Green Day’s own audience and rock music itself is the album’s own superiority complex. The album’s own marketing attempts to prop “Father of All…” up as a revitalization of rock music, but what “Father of All…” ends up doing in 26 minutes is embed the soullessness of mainstream rock music into the listener’s brain as the final nail in rock’s coffin.

COURTESY OF REPRISE RECORDS “Father of All...” is Green Day’s most soulless creative effort of their entire career.

Most of the tracks on “Father of All…” feel like fodder for the upcoming “Hella Mega Tour,” neatly packaged with hand claps and sing-a-long lyrics simplistic enough to instruct a massive arena audience to participate.

None of the tracks make enough of a case to warrant individual examination; it’s more accurate to collectively describe the track listing as a nightmarish slideshow of dead sounds. It’s a fever dream of Madden commercials.

For a fan fiction Green Day album like“Magnum Opus of the Inglorious Kind” to exist and attract

attention, a market for it must also exist. Panicland’s fake album scheme is an example of why a band playing to their strengths and understanding their audience is a more worthy artistic endeavor than making desperate attempts to wedge themselves into the mainstream.

Mainstream rock’s gatekeeping tendencies and increasing lack of self awareness continues to be its downfall in the case of “Father of All….”

FINAL VERDICT: 2/10

Open Mic Night gives student performers their own platform

GABBY LUCAS/ IOWA STATE DAILY Chasey Sedam performed stand-up comedy for the first time at SUB Open Mic Night on Tuesday.

BY GABBY.LUCAS @iowastatedaily.com The concept of an Open Mic Night is simple: gather a bunch of performers together, give them a microphone, sit back and see what happens.

The Student Union Board’s (SUB) Open Mic Night is held biweekly for student performers, old and new, to hone and debut their talents.

Chasey Sedam, freshman in civil engineering, wowed the audience with her stand-up routine.

A longtime fan of comedy, this was her first time ever performing.

“I was like, ‘guys, watch this, I’m gonna go do it,’ and so that’s exactly what I did,” Sedam said.

Sedam seemed unnerved and had the crowd rolling throughout her entire 10-minute set.

Sedam said she initially started going to stand-up comedy shows as a way to get herself out there and get involved as a freshman.

Seasoned performers are frequent at the Open Mic Night as a way to test out new material.

Lauren Roberts, senior in industrial design, gave a melodramatic performance where she played the piano and sang two cover songs. She is also one half of the a cappella duo Purple Vocal with beatboxer Jim Wang, who also performed.

Roberts and Wang met each other at an Open Mic Night last year and have been making music together as Purple Vocal for the past eight months.

“There tends to be a lot of regular people that come and perform, so we all support each other and get to know each other based on whatever we’re singing,” Roberts said.

Wang, junior in philosophy, gave a bass-heavy vocal percussion performance that sounded borderline inhuman. After free-styling a few tracks, he brought Roberts back onstage to sing while they performed a medley of pop songs together.

“Open Mic Night has a really good environment to [try] some experimental stuff,” Wang said. “Something brand new, people have never heard of it.”

FASHION

collections center around a variety of themes and are closely tied to her life experiences and how she feels. With each piece in a collection taking around 60 to 300-plus hours to do, there is a great deal of effort put into each of these art forms. Hansen’s cheapest piece sold was a pair of hand-beaded gloves for $170.

“I want to bring back the art of handwork and lead the next generation into having well-made pieces that you keep for a long time,” Hansen said. “I want to produce quality work, and I also just love making these pieces and beading them.”

Almost never one to sketch before breaking out the sewing machine, Hansen’s process of making clothing may start as one idea and end up completely different between the usual draping, patterning, structuring, lining and overall dress making.

“I am a throw everything everywhere designer,” Hansen said. “But my patterns are pretty organized. I don’t think clean designers exist. I think if they exist, then maybe they should let go a little bit. Beading is also really fun; my favorite part of the process. I’m definitely not someone who like things to do things the quick and easy way, but I love it.”

Loving what she does, even to points of accidental starvation at times, Hansen is all in when it comes to making clothing and, of course, hand beading everything in sight.

“It’s always been the thing I’ve liked,” Hansen said. “There have been times that I’ve thought about quitting, either because I’m unsure or because I get interested in other forms of art, but sewing is always the thing I come back to.”

She explained that she views sewing as some type of personal therapy and how it is difficult to leave it for a few days, even feeling sadder without it.

“Almost every single day, I sew a little bit,” Hansen said. “People tell me to take a break, but I when

I stop sewing and get back to it, I feel like I could cry because of how happy I am that I’m sewing again.”

An addition to her list of accomplishments, Hansen’s most recent one is putting on a fashion show of her own. After showing at different places including multiple FCCLA and 4H events, Kansas City Fashion Week, Des Moines Fashion Week and Omaha Fashion Week — whic h is considered Midwest ’s largest fashion event and the nation’s fourth largest — she decided it was time to do one herself.

Realizing this dream of hers happened much quicker than she had planned. The event, something that takes around a year to execute, was accomplished within a timeline of four months.

“I’d say 98 percent of the show I did by myself,” Hansen said. “Every single day, I spent hours working on the show.”

Called “On Runway,” the show featured six designers, including Hansen, all of whom she had worked with before. Her latest collection debuted at the show and was a step outside of her comfort zone, combining her usual niche of formal wear with street wear, something she had never tried before.

“It all turned out to be high-end street wear made of formal fabrics but with a street-wear silhouette,” Hansen said. “I wanted to mix in Victorian inspiration with very modern street. I wanted to make more wearable things than my usual designs and went for a badass aesthetic in street wear.”

Drawing inspiration from different kinds of street wear during her research for this collection, Hansen placed an importance of branding at this point in her career.

“Everything is branded in logos,” Hansen said. “I got this ribbon that has my logo and brand name, H.ART Studios, on it, and I used it as a trim, or I made it dangle off stuff because branding is a big thing now.”

salary range, depending on the job descriptions available.

It also focused on creating a realistic monthly budget to help set up a person’s target salary range, so they know when to walk away from a low-paying job.

“Aim for the middle or above, that can be your salary range,” Stone said.

Stone also said when a person is negotiating their salary, they should get the money for the person’s value, not only for the expenses that a person has.

For example, if a person says they need more money because they have to pay their car insurance instead of because his or her job is valuable to the employer, the employer would most likely decline the raise.

“Step 3: Know Your Strategy” focused on planning for negotiating a salary once a person is offered a job or hired by a company.Students learned what they should do during an interview, when to negotiate the salary during the interview and how to respond to employers that avoid discussing talking about an increase in salary once they start working or have been working with the company but not feeling comfortable with the amount they are earning.

“Negotiation is not a battle,” Stone said.

important to Hansen, implementing this into this collection and even planning a new brand under her name to be called Death to Fast Fashion. According to Hansen, this brand aims to include thrifting, upcycling and recycling material.

“It’s no waste sewing,” Hansen said. “All my scraps and threads are going into each clothing items.

I save and organize all my waste into little Ziploc bags and use them in other garments or in making other things. I despise fast fashion because [it] isn’t made to last long and it falls part easily, which adds onto the clothing industry being a top polluter. I’m also someone who thinks that if its broken, then try to fix it.”

Hansen moved to work on her own event, wanting to give people

“You’re not going to dig your heels in. It’s a conversation; you know whether or not you want to work there, so have that conversation. Don’t get personal, don’t talk about daycare costs, don’t talk about your mortgage. It’s about the value that you bring.”

“Step 4: Practice, Practice, Practice!” began with an activity where students had to work in pairs and act as employers and employees to practice negotiating salaries and benefits.

“It’s hard,” Stone said. “It’s awkward that [the employers] are staring at you, and you know you just want to please them and just give them an answer [about your salary]. That’s what the interview is about, but at the same time, you want to make sure it’s a good fit for everybody.”

Students said the exercise was indeed awkward but that it really helped them to try and fight for their desired salary in a positive, professional and functional way.

Besides Stone’s lecture and comments, students also shared their own tips and experiences with the rest of the group about internships and past jobs. “ Through this [workshop], we are going to learn how to be cheerleaders for ourselves because we are always like, ‘[Our achievements] are not important,’” Stone said. “But when we are actually out there, we have to be confident in a way that we can show our own value.”

the same opportunity that she had when she was younger.

“Two years ago when I started doing fashion shows, there were people that gave me an opportunity to be part of a fashion show, and I just wanted to give back,” Hansen said.

The show was open to any model, designer, hair stylist, makeup artist and photographer of any level that wanted to join. Hansen said that this is how she wants to make sure that she is able to give out opportunities to do something and to encourage people.

“I used to use my friends to model back in high school, and some of them came up to me and told me they wanted to do it professionally, so I felt happy and proud,” Hansen said. “People have

been telling me how much more confident they feel in themselves, and I am so happy that they are feeling good and having a good time.”

W ith the show being a success, Hansen ended her show on Februar y 13 with a full house, feeling accomplished and ready for more.

Hansen is thankful for the help she has received over the years, from her parents and friends to the people who help her through each show. Calling her mother one of her “biggest helpers,” Hansen’s memories of early-morning rack checks and pre-show jitters are made better by knowing someone is always by her side.

“She drives me when I’m tired to give me more time to sleep, which is really nice, and my family usually comes to all my shows,” Hansen said. “My dad has gotten more supportive as he’s seen me grow and become more successful. I didn’t see it, but a family member told me that my dad cried during my first show.”

Making up her mind early in life to pursue fashion design as a career, Hansen looks to the future.

“I found a video of myself officially saying it when I was a sophomore in high school,” Hansen said.

“I said, ‘Yeah, I think I want to go into fashion as a career.’”

Hansen will be closing Omaha Fashion Week’s Spring 2020 show at the end of the month and hopes to show at the Iowa State Fashion Show in April.

“There is no motivational ending to what I want, and I don’t care to be famous,” Hansen said. “I don’t know why fashion makes me happy; I just know that it does.”

This is what she does, who she is and how she enters the world.
