GOP debate

Trumps spurns debate

By MATTHEW JACK matthew-jack@uiowa.edu

With the eyes of the nation fixed securely on Iowa for the Feb. 1 caucuses, Fox News and Google will host the seventh GOP debate from the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines.

The debate will be split into two parts: the prime-time debate for the candidates who polled in the top five nationally and the top five in Iowa or New Hampshire and an undercard debate for candidates who did not make the cut but have polled nationally above 1 percent. The cutoff time for qualification was 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Although front-runner Donald Trump still holds a lead in national and Iowa polls, his campaign has confirmed an earlier statement that he would “probably not” participate in the debate, presumably due to the selection of Fox News anchor Megyn

or one night, Donald Trump’s favorite university was not his alma maters of Fordham or the University of Pennsylvania. Instead, Trump gushed about the University of Iowa, its undefeated wrestlers ,and its Big Ten West Division Champion football players.

“Look at the size of these guys, they’re monsters,” Trump said about the handful of football team members.

“We’ve got the next Tom Brady, right over here ... Look at the size of these guys. What a team, what a team.

And they were so nice. They endorsed Trump. They like Trump, and I like them. I love you guys.”

Such adoration rose more than a few eyebrows on Twitter and elicited scorn from fans of another school in Ames. But on Wednesday, UI officials made it clear that no NCAA rules were violated Tuesday night when

Surrogates don’t sway locals

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin hooted and hollered to Iowa State University students in support of Republican candidate Donald Trump. Singer Demi Lovato performed her smash hit “Confidant” to University of Iowa students at a campaign stop for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Now Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders will host what could be considered a mini-music festival with indie bands Vampire Weekend and Foster the People, as well as with rapper Killer Mike in Iowa City just two days before the renowned Iowa caucuses.

That list is short compared with the numerous politicians

and celebrities who have come to campaign for both Republican and Democratic candidates across the state.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio was joined by Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has been joined on the campaign trail with former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who ran for president but dropped out in September 2015.

Though big names have tried to bolster not only the candidates but support from voters, caucus-goers across the state have said the endorsements have not swayed their support, according to more than a dozen interviews with caucus-goers.

“Endorsements are kind of a cover,” said UI freshman Michael Chizek, who was one of approximately 1,900 who at-

The Hamburg Inn No. 2, 214 N. Linn St. has been sold; this will mark the first time the historic diner has been owned by someone outside the Panther family.

Hamburg Inn was opened in 1948 by Fritz and Fran Panther. In 1979, Dave Panther, the current owner, bought the business from his parents.

Hamburg Inn is a regular stop for various politicians during the Iowa caucuses. Some of the major political appearances include Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Dennis Kucinich, Pat Buchanan, and then-Sen. Barack Obama.

The diner also conducts a coffee-bean caucus, in which guests are given coffee beans to put in the jar of the candidate they plan on supporting.

It was also featured in a 2005 episode of the political drama “The West Wing.”

A manager confirmed the sale on Wednesday but said he couldn’t comment on who the new owners are.

Dance Marathon races toward goal

By MADELINE MURPHY SMITH madeline-m-smith@uiowa.edu

After surpassing the goal of $2 million last year, Dance Marathon has its heart set on raising $2.4 million.

Its new goal is a 20 percent jump from last year, which has required the organization to implement new policies and utilize incentive programs to help reach their goal.

“We increased the minimum fundraising amount from $400 last year to $500 per dancer this year, which was a big thing we changed,” said Nidhi Patel, the public relations and marketing director for Dance Marathon.

Patel credits having fundraising events put on by Dance Marathon to encourage dancers to raise as much money as possible to help meet the $2.4 million goal.

“We provided students with fundraising parties, can drives, and had a $100 day in which all dancers were encouraged to raise $100 in one day,” she said. $100 Day is a new program started this year, which brought in $135,395.50 in one day for the kids, said

Dan Kolb, executive director of Dance Marathon.

Patel said dancers were encouraged to raise their $100 with incentives that varied from free shirts, call-a-thons, and a dancer jail, in which money had to be raised for participants to be released.

Having fun social-media graphics was another way that Dance Marathon helped encourage dancers to raise money during $100 Day, in hopes of reaching the overall goal of $2.4 million.

“We made fun graphics for social media, which helped with entertainment and so others could see you completed the $100 Day challenge,” Patel said.

Having incentives for dancers to raise money is a common theme among the organization. Dance Marathon offers a dancer incentive program, which rewards dancers with a particular prize based on how much money they raise over the $500 minimum.

Kolb noted a few incentives: $700 entitles dancers to a back massage at the event, $2,200 gets dancers a shirt donated and designed by Ni-

By GAGE MISKIMEN One in 10 children live in poverty in Johnson County.

Johnson County has seen a 25.5 percent increase in the number of children living below the poverty line since the year 2000, according to Iowa Kids Count report, which was released Jan. 21 by the Child and Family Policy Center as an “indicator of family and community economic well-being” in Iowa.

The report states: “Children growing up in poverty [defined as $23,850/year for a family of four] are more likely than peers to experience stress and deprivation hindering development and readiness for school and life.”

According to the report, 11.3 percent of Johnson County children currently live in poverty.

Iowa City City Councilor Kingsley Botchway said these numbers were concerning.

“Kids are high priority when it comes to funding,” he said. “We need to do something about this.”

Botchway said collaboration between organizations is the key to lowering rates of child poverty.

“A great collaboration between communities in Johnson County and also with social services is essential,” he said. “We’ve been talking about what we can do within

affordable housing and increasing the minimum wage.

It’s about having the conversations about what we can do in a meaningful way.”

Johnson County Supervisor Mike Carberry said the report indicates a definite increase of poverty within families.

“We know this has been happening and Johnson

And those who raise between $2,500 and $5,000 get to go to the hospital and visit children who aren’t able to attend the event at the IMU. Even with all of the incentive programs and new policies, raising $2.4 million takes a village.

Jake Theil, executive head of Dance Marathon, recognizes this and worked to establish the Org Delegate Program, which encourages organizations on campus to get involved in Dance Marathon.

Thiel said greek life and the Society of Women Engineers participate the most.

Carberry said the county is working on affordable housing and transportation issues as well.

Lynette Jacoby, social services director for Johnson County, said even though Johnson County’s poverty rate is lower than in other parts of the state, the numbers are still concerning.

“It’s disturbing that there’s

County has the highest cost of living in the state,” he said.

“This is why we want to raise that minimum wage because people are hurting. Nobody can live off $7.25.”

Carberry said raising the wage is only one way the county is working to fight poverty.

“We have a hunger task force. We’re trying to get as much food to local food pantries as we can,” he said.

“There are 18,000 people in Johnson County who go to bed every night not knowing where their next meal will come from.”

“They come to our meetings and learn ways to promote Dance Marathon,” he said.

In return, Dance Marathon will help promote events or socials for that particular organization.

While dancers still have nine days to raise as much money as possible, Kolb seems confident that regardless if they meet their goal they will still be making a difference.

“No matter what happens, we will accomplish so much because what we raise means support for the kids at the end of the day,” Kolb said.

a 25.5 percent increase,” she said. “Because one child living in poverty is one too many.”

She said living in poverty can have a so-called ripple effect on kids.

“Academic achievement can be negatively affected as well as kid’s health when they aren’t getting the food they need as well as the safety and security they need,” she said.

Jacoby said there is shortterm financial assistance from the county available to help those in need with rent and other expenses when people are living below the

poverty line.

“We fund a number of programs,” she said. “The county provides money to support children and families in the county with our free-lunch program as well as the free medical clinic and the Crisis Center.”

Jacoby said the county is currently looking into ways to prevent what is known as ‘generational poverty’.

“When kids grow up in poverty, they often times fall behind.” she said. “They’re more at risk for teenage pregnancy and high school dropout, and when those things happen it’s much more likely the cycle will continue.”

Jacoby said Youth Empowered to Serve is one the programs aimed at preventing this type of poverty.

Through the program, teens can learn various skills for employment such as communication and personal development.

He said the effect poverty has on kids can have long-lasting effects, and the more prevention there is, the healthier families and the community will be as a result.

“It’s difficult when kids are coming to school hungry, worried about being evicted or lights being turned off,” she said. “It’s no wonder these kids are having trouble focusing when they don’t always know where they’re going to sleep at night.”

THE DAILY IOWAN | DAILYIOWAN.COM | THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 2016

TRUMP CONTINUED FROM FRONT Trump spoke in front of approximately 1,900 people at the Field House.

“University of Iowa student-athletes are encouraged to participate in the political process as individuals,” Iowa Athletics Director Gary Barta said in a statement.

“However, like any endorsement by a student or faculty member, their participation should not be considered representative of the entire team or university. “ And some of the athletes who appeared at the rally were mum on anything else.

ELECTION CONTINUED FROM FRONT City on Tuesday. “Trump doesn’t really need celebrity endorsements. He is trying to woo the party now.

The [other candidates] are wooing the public.”

Chizek, who is from Clear Lake, Iowa, was talking about Palin, the 2008 vice presidential Republican nominee who threw her support to Trump earlier this month.

“No more pussyfooting around,” Palin said at ISU. “You deserve the best.

[Trump] he knows the main thing of a president is to keep us safe economically and militarily. He knows the main thing, and he knows now to lead the charge.”

GOP CONTINUED FROM FRONT Kelly as a moderator in light of the tension between the GOP candidate and Fox host.

After the Aug. 6 GOP debate, Trump criticized Kelly on Twitter for being “not very good or professional,” that “you could see blood coming out of her eyes … her wherever” after she asked questions of him regarding some of his past statements calling women “fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.”

Fox released a statement on his decision: “We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he

“I don’t like to talk about politics; it’s about wrestling today,” 125-pounder Thomas Gilman said on Wednesday.

Quarterback CJ Beathard and kicker Marshall Koehn were among those present from the 12-2 Hawkeyes.

Gilman appeared along with 197-pounder Nathan Burak, 184-pounder Sammy Brooks, and 149-pounder Brandon Sorensen, who represented the No. 2 wrestling team in the country.

Former Hawkeye wrestler and two-time NCAA champion Matt McDonough, who also joined Trump, said he will work hard to get people to caucus for Trump during the state’s Feb. 1 caucuses.

“He isn’t just trying to

shake your hand to make you happy, he respects you,” McDonough said after the rally.

“He understands what you go through as an athlete, and he can connect on that level.”

UI sports-management Lecturer Dan Matheson said he would be surprised if the NCAA disagreed with the Athletics Department’s findings.

“The NCAA as an organization would face an onslaught of criticism and lawsuits from another side if they were to try to legislate against student-athletes being involved in exercising their First Amendment rights and being involved in the political process,” said Matheson,

who spent nine years as an investigator for the NCAA. While there is no specific rule protecting political involvement, he said, the rulebook would not preclude grass-roots political activities. A gray area could arise if the athletes appeared in a TV endorsement and identified themselves as Hawkeye athletes, but that was far from what happened.

Before he launched into an abbreviated 40-minute stump speech, Trump was presented with a Black and Gold jersey emblazoned with the businessman’s name and with the No. 1 by back-up tight end Peter Pekar.

Sue Pettit, a caucus-goer since 1980, said she is not influenced by candidate surrogates and prefers to see the candidates in person.

Pettit, who supported Santorum in 2012 and is torn between Trump and Rubio, said Palin was a distraction and said she has never been a fan of the 2008 GOP vice-presidential nominee.

UI senior McKenzie Jerman is undecided and does not know if she will caucus for Clinton or Sanders.

The 21-year-old, who attended Clinton and Lovato’s event, said she didn’t think Lovato helped Clinton reach Iowa’s coveted college-student demographic.

“Demi is for teeny-boppers; you need someone who is actually relevant

to people who can vote,” she said.

Jerman said she would have liked to see Tina Fey or Amy Poehler come to Iowa to reach college demographic because they “grew up with them on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ ” Brittany Kimzey, a recent University of Iowa graduate, said she is like Sanders but is still unsure whether she will caucus for him on Feb. 1.

The 22-year-old said she heard about Sanders’ event, which will feature Vampire Weekend, Foster the People, Killer Mike, in addition to several other celebrities such as Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson. She would like to attend the event if she has time, she said, and she has seen Sanders six times.

Kimzey, however, said

the guests don’t change her opinion of who she will caucus for.

“Two of the top Democratic candidates are both bringing stars,” she said. “I don’t think the celebrities they bring, whether I like Demi Lovato or not really, changes my vote.”

Iowa City resident Anne Bendixen echoed those beliefs.

Bendixen, 55, said she caucused for Clinton in 2008 and President Obama in 2012, and that musical surrogates or celebrities have not swayed her support.

“They mean nothing to me. They’re a time-filler,” she said.

Daily Iowan political reporters Quentin Misiag and Brent Griffiths contributed to this article.

becomes president. A nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings.”

Trump denies claims that he pulled out of the debate because of his feud with Kelly, citing the “childishly written & taunting PR statement by Fox” as his reason for refusing to participate.

He plans to host a veteran’s benefit at Drake University at 8 p.m., the same time as the debate.

Landlords should provide recycling Hannah Soyer hannah-soyer@uiowa.edu

An ordinance that would require landlords of apartment complexes and condominiums to provide recycling services for their tenants is currently being drafted by the city of Iowa City, and it will hopefully be reviewed and passed sometime early this year. Right now, recycling services are provided by the city to single-family homes and residences with four units or fewer.

Of course, most apartment buildings have more than four units, leaving out a large portion of the city’s waste-making population.

Jennifer Jordan, the city’s recycling coordinator, put it this way: “Right now, only about 55 percent of Iowa City’s population has access to recycling at their homes.

Everyone can use our community drop-off sites, but providing recycling to people where they live is the best way to ensure that more people recycle more materials.”

I couldn’t agree more. I lived in the dorms my first two years in Iowa City, and although I was aware that some students didn’t make use of the little blue recycling bins that were provided for each room, I was a diligent user. Anything that could be put into that little blue bin, I put in. When it was full, I simply took it to the big recycling bin down the hall. Thus, recycling was easy.

Now, I live in an apartment on Washington Street, near DP Dough.

When I first moved in, I bought an extra garbage

can to be used as a recycling bin and told my roommates that I would take it across the street to the Co-op, which conveniently has public recycling bins, every time it got full. Up until it got bitterly cold outside, this is what I did. Still, the experience wasn’t as convenient as I thought it would be. Once I took the recycling to the Co-op, I had to separate it into compost, plastic, metal, and glass. It wasn’t difficult, but it did get messy.

Sure, the other people living in my apartment building could separate recycling and take it there, but even I have given up with the weather the way it is, because the sorting and separating has to be done outside.

Instead, my apartment building should have a giant recycling bin down in the garage, next to the giant garbage bins, that renters can throw their recyclables in.

In 2012, the Iowa City Landfill & Recycling Center tried out a pilot recycling program among five apartment and condominium complexes that volunteered, and officials estimated that providing recycling services to their tenants would cost landlords $2.57 per unit. To me, this doesn’t seem like a big cost, especially considering how high rent is for most Iowa City apartments.

Obviously, really devoted recyclers can take their recycling to the four designated drop-off areas in Iowa City. And maybe, we as a society should strive to be less lazy and more devoted to things that matter.

Unfortunately, however, I just don’t see this happening anytime soon. If we want recycling to become the norm, then we are first going to need to make it easier for people to do just that.

Finding an EU compromise T

he rapid influx of refugees into Western Europe has proven to be nothing less than a global crisis that has put a strain on governments and world leaders ability to adequately manage the situation. The task of providing asylum to all those displaced by the strife and bloodshed within the Middle East comes with no easy solution, but it is imperative that systems be put in place that will accommodate the staggering amount of displaced migrants while ensuring the infrastructure of the accepting country is left intact.

Finding a middle ground that allows for the seamless introduction of a spike in population is obviously no easy feat, but that does not excuse putting into place measures that demote those genuinely seeking asylum into second-class citizens. In Cardiff, the capital of Wales, those seeking asylum are being ordered to wear “brightly colored wristbands” that are supposed to indicate approved access to meals, but also distinguish them from the rest of the population. The wristband system may have innocuous intentions, but utilizing such a method carries the potential of further separating an already marginalized section of society from the general population.

This is not an isolated issue with similar problems springing up elsewhere in Europe such as Middlesbrough in the United Kingdom where there have been reports of the doors of asylum seeker’s homes all being intentionally painted red. Again the intention may not be to purposefully segregate asylum seekers from previous inhabitants, but that is an issue that must be kept in the forefront when imposing systems meant

to relegate the new additions to a country. Being displaced from one’s native country is already traumatic and arduous enough without the increased scrutiny that would come about from being branded upon reaching potential asylum.

At the same time, it is not say that systems put in place to regulate the incoming migrant population are not necessities. It is simply to say that it is a process that must be managed with forethought in order to serve the best interests of all parties involved. French officials have announced that the terrorist group ISIS has had the capacity to “print legitimate-looking Syrian passports since at least last summer,” which makes heightened terrorism security unavoidable. While the growth of asylum seekers is a humanitarian crisis, it does not mean that we must forgo precautions. Additionally, while many of the migrants are displaced refugees, many too are simply people seeking a better way of life. The social-welfare safety net and economic opportunity that many European countries provide is an attractive prospect for a wide swath of people, not just those whose homelands have become uninhabitable.

Balance must be struck between goodwill and security to ensure that the spread of terrorism does not come about as a result of countries willing to do the right thing and offer assistance to those in need. The crisis at hand is obviously not the preferred reality, but it is the one presented to us. Compromises must be found and made without compromising security, prosperity, or undermining the basic humanity we are all entitled to.

Addiction is a disease, not crime Samuel Studer samuel-studer@uiowa.edu

Leonard Campanello, the police chief of Gloucester, Massachusetts, has taken a stand again the War on Drugs.

Last spring, he made headlines after writing on his Facebook profile that the War on Drugs was done.

The chief sees drug use as a disease rather than a crime, and he has implemented a policy to promote this idea. If addicted people walk in to his station with their drugs or paraphernalia, they will not be charged. Instead, they will work toward recovery by being sent to treatment on the spot.

The chief has created his

own database of potential recovery sites for addicts.

Local businesses have worked with the police, discounting medicine such as naloxone, which reverses the effects of opioid overdoses, such as those caused by heroin.

The plan has been called the Gloucester Angel Program. According to the New York Times, 391 addicts have turned themselves in since the start of the program. Many police departments are fed up with arresting addicts and nothing happening.

This hits close to home according to Iowa’s Office of Drug Control Policy.

In 2013-14, 15.84 percent of adults ages 18-25 in Iowa had used illicit drugs in the past month.

Changes like this will innovate how we deal with addiction. If Iowa adopted policies such as these, we could save lives. We have offenders sitting in jail who, when they get out, go right back to their

old habits. Combating and ending addiction will keep people out of prison and positively affect our society.

Officials should try to improve the lives of everyone, not destroy them.

Such policies would also help our government save money. According to the Times, the Gloucester police spend $55 per addict compared with $220 in formal arrest procedures.

Finding ways to keep people out of prison will help to lower costs for our government.

Adopting ideas such as the Gloucester Angel Program would change lives. There’s no better time than the present for local law-enforcement agencies to adopt similar policies. However, few police departments have adopted similar practices.

A few is not enough; everyone must adopt these policies.

Critics think that local officials do not have

the right to disregard the law and adopt such policies. They might not, but clearly something has to change. Sending people to jail will not solve anything. It is important that we address this issue nationally. There is no excuse for not dealing with a disease such as addiction. Officials should be required to help, not push addicts off to someone else.

Overdoses will still occur and policies like Campanello’s will not solve all drug cases. Yet, they will help to lower the number of people addicted to drugs and change the public perception of addiction from that of a crime to that of a disease.

I call on Iowa to follow the lead of Gloucester and help addicts in the road to recovery. Addiction is treatable, so let’s help thousands of addicts take the next step in recovery, not force them into crowded U.S. prisons.

GUEST COLUMN

Why support Sanders This is the story of how I came to support Sen. Bernie Sanders. It’s a true story — or at least as true as a fading memory can provide.

Some 40 years ago in Washington, I agreed to host a series of TV interviews with presidential candidates. Questioning the first few proved problematic. Their responses to questions seemed to be coming from tape cassettes implanted in their skulls. They’d heard the questions before, and we’d heard their answers.

How to make their performances more revealing? The possibilities of someone tipping over a candidate’s chair or unexpectedly throwing them a baseball were attractive but rejected by the producer.

The ultimate solution was found in a question put to presidential candidates then, and throughout the years since, often in Iowa living rooms.

“Senator, let’s make two assumptions. One, those of us here think you are ‘right on the issues.’

And two, you are elected president. Now tell us, why will coal-mine owners have less ability to maintain coal miners’ unsafe working conditions than they do now?”

(One could substitute the military-industrial complex’s control of defense budgets or oil-company subsidies.)

Some candidates stared blankly. Some became angry. Apparently, few if any had ever thought about the problem, and none offered a solution.

When I put the question to Sen. Barack Obama in 2007, he replied, “Well, Nick, I’ve been a community organizer.” I’d visited with Saul Alinsky and read his books. Both Obama and I were familiar with Heather Booth’s Midwest Academy in Chicago, where I’d learned community organizing.

I too quickly leapt to the conclusion that Obama got it. He would become our national community organizer-in-chief. I was mistaken.

Sanders not only gets it, he makes it explic-

it. He rejects chants of “Bernie, Bernie” with “this is not about ‘me,’ it’s about ‘we.’ ” “This campaign is about creating a movement of millions of Americans fighting to transform our country with demands that government represent all of us,” he has said.

I like his proposals for increased minimum wage, health care for all, avoiding unnecessary wars, tuition-free college, justice for African-Americans, and equal pay for women, among others.

I’m impressed with his authenticity, enthusiastic crowds, rejection of PACs, and funding a campaign with millions of supporters making $27 average contributions.

He’s had experience as a mayor, congressman, and senator. He understands the federal government’s working and impact. Up against Republican candidates, he’s as (or more) electable than the others.

He has the highest Net favorability numbers.

But most important to me? His belief that a gov-

ernment of the major donors, by the lobbyists, for the wealthy is not what the founders had in mind.

That the establishment’s proposals, whether from Democrats or Republicans, look a lot more like capitulation in the cause of campaign contributions than compromise on behalf of the American people.

It’s his lifelong advocacy that governments exist for the 99 percent; his knowledge of what’s required before a government can serve the people — that the people must lead before their leaders will follow. His campaign has begun building that citizen organization.

Are you in the 1 percent? You have many establishment candidates to choose from. Otherwise, whether you’re a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or Green, it serves your interest and mine if Sanders’ vision and voice comes booming out of Iowa’s precinct caucuses, loud and clear.

Walk explores privilege

By MACEY SPENSLEY macey-spensley@uiowa.edu

One group aimed to highlight social issues that people deal with every day.

As part of Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Week, members of the diversity committee at the University of Iowa College of Public Health hosted a Privilege Walk Wednesday.

The event was held to address issues of privilege and oppression in society.

“People had a better understanding of privilege and barriers,” said Tanya Uden-Holman, a member of the Diversity Committee. “They thought about different types of barriers

besides race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and religion.”

This was the second event that the committee put on for the King Celebration Week. Their other event was a showing of a movie by Tim Wise, an anti-racism activist.

Katie Boland, a diversity committee member, said the college holds events for King Celebration Week every year.

“We thought the event was visual and impactful and could start a dialogue,” she said.

Boland said she hopes the event would be able to highlight different forms of societal privilege and disad-

vantages that people had.

The walk had people of different ages, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientation, and class hold hands while moving forward and backward to indicate the different levels of privileges that they each had.

During the event, participants had to move forward or backward if questions that were posed applied to them.

There were 35 questions in all. One included, “If you can walk at night without fear of being sexually assaulted, take a step forward.” After the 35 questions were answered, each participant was standing at different points on the

floor, ahead and behind each other.

“I recognized my privilege as a white man,” said Michael Anderson, who is studying at the UI College of Public Health.

Anderson added that he learned to never make assumptions about people.

Chelsea Hicks, a member of the Diversity Committee, said she was surprised that she had that much privileges because she was farther back in the line among the participants.

There was a discussion following the main event.

Audience members discussed their thoughts and feelings about privi-

Zogby pushes Mideast awareness

By TOM ACKERMAN thomas-ackerman@uiowa.edu

Caucus season is in full swing for Iowans, and everyone seems to have an opinion. The American-Arab community is no exception.

T h e Council for International Visitors to Iowa Cities hosted Zogby James Zog- advocate by to speak Wednesday, and he urged voters to consider foreign affairs in the Middle East when choosing a candidate.

“I’m not here campaigning for anybody, but I do appreciate what it is [Iowans are] doing for the rest

of us,” he said in front of a packed room in the University Capitol Center.

Zogby, an advocate for discussion on political discourse in the Middle East and the founder of the American Arab Institute in Washington, D.C., had a lot to say for the panel of front-runners.

“We have more at stake in the Middle East than anyone, and we don’t know a damn thing about it,” he said. “Almost without exception, I am profoundly disturbed with the candidates.”

Zogby said he feels candidates both Republican and Democrat are comfortable debating domestic problems, but they lack knowledge or simply don’t care about complex issues outside the United States.

He describes Middle East policy as “disruptive” for candidates, and said it “takes them out of their comfort zone.”

Nadia Doubiany, an event coordinator for the international council, said the timing of the event is beneficial for students and the community with the upcoming presidential race.

“We wanted students to be able to have access to him while he was in town,” she said. “We knew a lot of university students would be really interested in what he had to say but wouldn’t be able to afford the tickets.”

Held in two sessions, the afternoon slot was free for students and staff. The evening speech was given at a dinner as

part of council’s fundraiser, known as “30 for 30,” meant to raise $30,000 for the group to have financial stability for the next 30 years, Doubiany said.

“We’ve done speaker events before, but this is the first time we’ve tried to do something more upscale.

It’s more of a fundraiser than a speaker event that isn’t just for students,” she said, noting awards were given to those in the community who have helped the council along the way.

After the event for students, those who attended said they benefited from the lecture and were glad they made it.

UI student Melanie Meierotto said she appreciated the opportunity for diplomacy over violence, which Zogby discussed.

“I wish people would look at the people living in the Middle East rather than politicians,” she said. “I think we should take more time thinking about the human aspect.”

Doubiany also said that there will be several more visitors in the coming months for 30 for 30, including the deputy editor of UK’s Buzzfeed, who will be in town this week.

The Wednesday night event has an estimated 150 guests, she said, which is priced at $50 per person, or $360 for a table that seats eight.

“We can no longer ignore the Middle East,” Zogby said. “We need more solutions and more debate.”

have more similar events.

“We need more of these examples,” Wilson said.

“Hey, everyone’s struggling with something.”

Twists and turns on the pommel horse

By MASON CLARKE mason-clarke@uiowa.edu

The path that Hawkeye senior and pommel-horse aficionado Doug Sullivan has taken has not taken place in the spotlight.

Only a few years ago, he was not even sure he had secured a spot on the team.

“A kid comes in and walks on a team, and over the course of his time becomes one of the best in the country at what he does,” head coach JD Reive said. “He came in … a little skinny guy, could barely get up the rope.”

Sullivan’s freshman year, he proved he could compete at a high level. He placed 26th on pommel horse with a score of 14.000 at the 2013 NCAA team finals.

The following season, Sullivan soared. He set the school record for pommel horse with a 15.250.

Against Illinois-Chicago on Jan. 24, he shattered his own record with a score of 15.400.

The score trails the personal bests on pommel horse of only two gymnasts nationally: Brandon Ngai of Illinois and Ethan Lottman of Nebraska have both hit 15.550 this season.

“It was something I’ve wanted to do; I’ve wanted to get up there in those mid15s,” Sullivan said. “I’m able to do it in practice, but I just wanted to show it off and do it in a meet now. It was just really exciting for me.”

Fellow senior Del Vecchio Orozco has been Sullivan’s teammate for the past three years, and the

SASH

CONTINUED FROM 10 a sport as popular as football, reminders to watch the games come from nearly everywhere.

It’s a product, and it’s being sold to us. That’s how it’s been for decades, but now that product is killing people and creating front-page news in doing so.

How much more of this can we really stomach as a society?

WRESTLING CONTINUED FROM 10 He brought up the incident immediately when asked about Minnesota and held that he was just trying to shake another wrestler’s hand.

“Things got a bit chippy last year,” Gilman said.

“They’re going to be excited, ready to go, but we’ll see how excited they are when we put them down.”

Still undefeated Three Iowa wrestlers — Gilman, Nathan Burak, and Brandon Sorensen — remain undefeated this season.

Gilman and Burak are 170, and Sorensen is 19-0.

“You really have to take it one match at a time,” Gilman said. “You can’t be looking at an undefeated season, 30-0.

MBB CONTINUED FROM 10 Maryland team with the third best scoring de-

two have spent nearly every day together practicing pommel horse.

“It’s pretty inspirational as a pommel-horse specialist,” Orozco said. “He came in here with the mentality that he definitely had something to prove. Seeing him evolve as a gymnast … has really been an experience for me.”

As a freshman walk-on, many would not have been expected Sullivan to rise to the level he has. Reive said that watching all of Sullivan’s hard work has made the journey fun for him as a coach.

Many also would not have been expected Sullivan to take on as much leadership as he has.

“If you were to watch practices, we have a lot of pommel-horse specialists, and he is the guy in charge,” Reive said. “He takes ownership over the event; he takes ownership over the lineup. He’s the anchor; he’s the one who leads by example.”

Sullivan began his gymnastics journey at age 7. He said he began team gymnastics at age 9, and after an injury just before college, he was grateful for Reive to give him a chance.

He has stamped his mark on Iowa by this point, and he hopes to stamp his mark on the nation this season.

“Individually, I want to be up at the podium at Big Tens and NCAAs,” Sullivan said.

Orozco said that part of the Sullivan’s leadership comes from toughness. He said he knows Sullivan’s wrists hurt, but he still swings with “oomph.”

Iowa gymnast Doug Sullivan competes on the pommel horse during the Black and Gold Intrasquad meet in the Field House on Dec. 6, 2014. Sullivan has set his sights high this season. (The Daily Iowan/Valerie Burke) Alongside all the admiration and respect naturally comes a little bit of poking fun from his pommel-horse teammates. “[Doug] is so clean. He’s too adult for us,” Orozco said.

“Living with six, seven other guys … It’s funny because he tries to keep [our] house as tidy as possible, but we just ruin the house, and I feel so bad.”

Even the Romans — bloodthirsty and warlike as they were — eventually got sick of killing people in gladiator fights. As the story goes, a monk tried to stop a fight in a gladiatorial arena, only to be stoned to death by the crowd.

Roman Emperor Honorius was so impressed with the monk’s bravery that he decided to cancel the gladiatorial games forever.

Football is to the closest thing we have to the brutality that took place in Roman arenas. The sport, just like

the gladiatorial fights of old, is filled with physical violence, humankind’s guiltiest pleasure. We love the blood. We love the beatdowns. We love it all.

There is, however, a major difference. Unlike a gladiator fighting on the bloody sand, football players can’t see the deathblow coming and can’t try to defend themselves.

Sash won’t be the last person to die from injuries — to the mind or body — from football.

Who will?

That’s a tall task. You have to take things one week at a time — not looking forward nor looking back.

The trio’s winning streaks are all career bests, and many of the wins have come in dominating fashion. Gilman has posted 14 bonus-point victories, while Sorensen and Burak both have 10 such wins.

Only 15 wrestlers in Iowa history have been able to complete perfect seasons. It’s also the first time since the 200910 season that the Hawkeyes have had three wrestlers undefeated this late in the season.

“You can learn from a loss,” Burak said. “But I’d rather learn from a victory than a loss. I’m just trying to keep moving forward while continuing to win matches.”

There wasn’t a whole lot of movement in the Intermat

top-20 wrestlers and Iowa is still ranked in eight of 10 weights.

Only two Hawkeye wrestlers moved in the rankings — Edwin Cooper Jr. (157) and 184-pounder Sammy Brooks. Cooper moved from No. 16 back to No. 18 despite winning two matches against ranked competition.

Brooks fell four spots to No. 11 after losing by fall against Nebraska.

Gilman and Sorensen both come in at No. 2 in the rankings. Cory Clark (133) and Burak both remain at No. 3 and round out Iowa’s top-5 ranked wrestlers.

Heavyweight Sam Stoll stayed at No. 7, while 174-pounder Alex Meyer stays at No. 12.

Burak will get a huge test on Friday when he faces Minnesota’s No. 4 ranked Brett Pfarr. A challenge also awaits Stoll, who will get ninthranked Michael Kroells.

fense in the conference.

The Terrapins have allowed 64.1 points per game this season, while the Hawkeyes average 81.7, good for second in the conference.

Iowa’s latest top-10 matchup will likely be their toughest yet, and the energy they bring could go a long way towardsdetermining the final score in this matchup of Titans.

With the rematch against the Wolverines tonight, the team can show that they’ve improved in that aspect.

“It’s just about having energy,” Gustafson said.

“When we get ahead, we need to keep that energy.”

Hawkeye sophomore forward Christina Buttenham, who is coming off a career-high 14-point

game against Purdue on Jan. 24, still feels the sting from the last Michigan meeting.

For Buttenham, tonight’s game is all about sweet revenge.

“I think it needs to be a revenge game,” she said.

“If we get this one, it will prove to people that the first game should have been ours.”

XFINITY

The Iowa men’s basketball team will make its first trip to the Terps’ turf.

By IAN MURPHY ian-murphy@uiowa.edu

Winning on the road can make a strong case for an NCAA tournament resume.

And winning on the road is something the Hawkeyes have excelled at this season, both in and out of the Big Ten. In five true road games, the Hawkeyes only blemish came against Iowa State in Ames. Their wins include contests at Marquette, in Mackey Arena against Purdue, in the Louis Brown Athletic Center against Rutgers, and most notably at the Breslin Center against Michigan State.

But the Xfinity Center in College Park, Maryland will be an environment unlike any the Hawkeyes have played in, for the simple fact the Hawkeyes have never played there.

The Hawkeyes also played their first road game at Rutgers this season, and head coach Fran McCaffery said playing in a building for the first time doesn’t make much difference.

“It happened the other day at Rutgers,” he said. “We’re used to those kinds of facilities on the road, big crowds, loud. Nothing different there.”

The biggest difference between this game and the game at Rutgers, however, are the stakes.

The Terrapins sit at 17-3 overall, 6-2 in the Big Ten. A win for Maryland provides a boost in their resume, while a loss would dampen their conference title hopes that much more.

The Hawkeyes, meanwhile, can add another win over a ranked opponent and give themselves a full game lead over Indiana, which lost Tuesday at Wisconsin to give the Hawkeyes sole possession of first place in the conference.

A road win, McCaffery said, comes with a higher sense of accomplishment.

“You really have to be together on the floor and you have to hold on to the game plan because there is so much noise,” McCaffery said. “You have to really communicate with each other and you have to pull each other over and you have to help and support one another on the floor.”

That game plan includes shutting down a top-flight point guard Melo Trimble, superstar freshman Diamond Stone, and Duke transfer Rasheed Sulaimon.

Trimble averages 14.8 points and 5.7 assist per game, while Stone averages 13.1 points per game.

Their counterparts, seniors Mike Gesell and Adam Woodbury, will have their hands full, but the Hawkeyes say they are up for the challenge.

“I don’t know if we have a formula,” Woodbury said. “If we continue to move the ball and to play defense the way we are we’ll be able to beat any team.”

Things will be tough on the defensive end, but the offensive end may be tougher still; the Hawkeyes will go up against a SEE MBB, 8

Women’s hoops searches for win

By JAKE MOSBACH jacob-mosbach@uiowa.edu

Tonight in Carver-Hawkeye, the Iowa women’s basketball team will attempt to do something it hasn’t done since Jan. 13 — win a game.

The Hawkeyes will host Michigan (118, 3-5 Big Ten) at 7 p.m., trying to snap a three-game skid that’s been littered with turnovers, defensive confusion, and, as head coach Lisa Bluder said after the team’s most recent loss to Purdue, “problems between the ears.”

The Hawks (13-7, 3-5 Big Ten) sit in a four-way tie for eighth place in the Big Ten, and with one of those teams being Michigan, Bluder and her squad know the importance of tonight’s contest. But the Wolverines have one of the most explosive offensive weapons in the conference. “[Michigan] has got one of the best scorers in the Big Ten in Katelynn Flaherty,” Bluder said. “She’s only a sophomore, averaging 23 points a game — just an unbelievable shooter.”

Flaherty, who scored 24 points against Iowa when the two teams met on Jan. 7, has the skills to beat a team in numerous ways, Bluder said.

That last meeting, an 82-75 Michigan win that started the Hawks’ 1-5 slide, showed just how threatening the 5-7 inch guard could be.

“Step-back 3s, long-distance 3s … and she can get to the rim,” Bluder said.

The Hawkeye defense, which has struggled over the course of the losing streak, will need to smother the Wolverines if a win is in the cards. That

Tyler Sash had CTE. The New York Times reported that on Tuesday, which only adds to the sad legacy he left behind.

It’s not surprising. Sash was a hard-hitting safety who spent much of his life barreling into players with the sole intention of sending them to the turf.

He dedicated his life to playing the sport, and it killed him.

The only reason we now know he was suffering from CTE is because he’s dead.

There wasn’t a way to tell until Sash was gone — medical science hasn’t advanced far enough to have a test that can be performed before death. He didn’t know the fits of anger and his inability to focus were a sign of a disease that was slowly killing him.

It wasn’t just his head, either. His shoulders were broken, his mind was broken, and his spirits couldn’t have possibly been in a good place. A Super Bowl champ, yes, but when he left school early as a junior to take his shot at the next level, he couldn’t have possibly imagined he’d end up working menial labor jobs, unable to concentrate on anything else.

Sash played football for 16 years. Who Sash knows when he got deceased his first concussion?

It could have been in the backyard playing football with his friends. It could have been during a routine play in high school.

He had no idea that with each knock to the head he suffered, he was slowly giving his body to a disease that’s still as mysterious as it is deadly.

Sash basically demonstrated every possible symptom of CTE. When they cut open his head postmortem, they found the disease to be nearly as bad as what Junior Seau’s had been when he committed suicide in 2012.

Seau was 43. Sash was 27. Who’s next?

It’s depressing to think about it.

Yet, when Super Bowl 50 rolls around Feb. 7, the number of viewers will likely break another record.

Sports are still “must-watch” television, and the major networks will do whatever they can to keep people tuned in. For

And for Hawkeye freshman forward Megan Gustafson, that comes as no surprise.

In her first year of Big Ten competition, she’s learned just how intense the conference can be, admitting that she’s struggled to adjust to the physicality.

But Gustafson says even the smallest of defensive efforts will play a huge role tonight against the Wolverines. “[Adjusting to physicality] has been hard, I will admit,” she said. “But even if you can’t block the shot, altering the shot is just as important.”

The team’s Jan. 7 meeting featured

several lead changes, with Iowa possessing a lead midway through the game’s final quarter. But the quarter also featured Michigan scoring 30 points.

Iowa managed only 13.

When the Iowa wrestling team hosts Minnesota on Friday, it won’t have the same feel as the No. 1 vs. No. 2 battle that took place in Minneapolis last season.

It will be the 101st meeting between the two teams and is part of a series that stretches all the way to 1921.

“It’s one of the ones that we always point to on the schedule,” Iowa head coach Tom Brands said. “Last time Gilman they were in Iowa City, wrestler they beat us, and we really have to be ready to go.”

The Gophers aren’t nearly as good this season as they have been over the past few years, thought they do boast four top13 wrestlers. Recent history also would suggest the dual will be interesting.

When teams met a year ago, the dual resulted in a testy affair. Thomas Gilman, Iowa’s 125-pounder, was booed lustily after he tried to get into the Gophers’ huddle at one point.

Caucus Candidate Cocktails

By JUSTUS FLAIR | justus-flair@uiowa.edu As Iowans pledge support to candidates during the caucuses on Feb. 1, the voting season will begin.

Whether that stresses you out or gets your blood pumping in anticipation, you could probably use a drink to help navigate the minefield that is the 2016 presidential election.

To guide you, here are the caucus candidate cocktails.

DEMOCRATS HILLARY CLINTON The Chillary Clinton: lemonade and Jeremiah Weed “Will chilling in Cedar Rapids make these whippersnappers believe I’m hip and cool?” — Clinton, probably #ChillingInCedarRapids.

Hungover Hillary: champagne and oragne juice (mimosa) Perfect for when you’re trying to keep it together, but need a little help forgetting a rough night – say, when you came in third in your last caucus.

BERNIE SANDERS The Bourbon Sanders: Bourbon as aged as Bernie (that is, if you can find a bourbon from 1941, when he was born) ginger beer, and lemon zest Drinking this, you’ll be like Bernie giving a speech — progressively sloppier and louder as you put them back.

The Blazin’ Bernie: Fireball and Diet Coke Simple, just like Bernie says all his solutions are.

MARTIN O’MALLEY Martini O’Malley: Irish whiskey, vodka, dry vermouth, and a little lemon garnish This drink compiles everything you know about O’Malley: he’s Irish.

Abs-olutely Marvelous Martin: Absolut vodka and Sprite Do yourself a favor: look up a shirtless picture of O’Malley. And if you’re worried about your own abs, substitute Diet Sprite.

and bittersweet tonic water Don’t forget to salt the rim — you know Ted’s a little salty.

Cruz Control: tequila, Blue Curaçao, UV Cherry, Sprite, and Grenadine (Shark Attack shot) This blue and red drink is as patriotic as Cruz’s lapel pin.

MARCO RUBIO Rubio on the Rocks: rum and a splash of coconut milk Serve it as rocky as Rubio’s campaign in Iowa.

Miami Mister: Malibu, orange juice, pineapple juice, and a hint of cherry This is the only “fruity” thing Rubio will support. Be sure to add a little umbrella.

DONALD TRUMP Top-Shelf Trump: Gold Patrón Just take a shot. Repeat. Continue until you’ve emptied out your bank account. It won’t take you as long as it would Trump.

Did you know he’s a billionaire?

The Gin-ger: gin, simple syrup, and orange garnish If everything Trump says starts making sense, stop drinking.

TED CRUZ Tequila Ted: tequila, grapefruit juice,

PBRick: preferably a can PBR thinks it reps the working class, but we all know you have to be at least a little pretentious to crack one of these open.

Sandy Santorum: Rumchata and Fireball (cinnamon toast crunch shot) It used to be really popular — maybe even won a caucus — but now everyone is kind of over it.

JIM GILMORE Gimme Gilmore “Who?” – the bartender Jimmy Boy: a glass of water You thought maybe it had a shot, but it turns out not.

RAND PAUL Rowdy Rand: any shot College Republicans in Iowa City are always yelling for two things: Rand and shots.

Pickled Paul: vodka and pickle juice This drink is as sour as Paul’s outlook on the race.

CHRIS CHRISTIE

CARLY FIORINA

Branstad BFF: whatever Brandstad picks When in Iowa, drink like your Iowa best friend.

Kinky Karly: Kinky and Sprite Everyone starts off on board, then quickly swears off it after a bad experience.

Captain Christie: Captain Morgan and soda After knocking a couple of these back, you’ll be “telling it like it is.”

JEB BUSH Just Jeb: vodka, Triple Sec, cranberry juice, and lime juice (Cosmopolitan) Everyone knows about it, it has so much promise but is ultimately disappointing.

Sound familiar?

Big Bush Shadow: bourbon, raspberry liqueur, sweet and sour mix, lemon juice Dark and all-consuming, this drink is aptly named. Once you get stuck, there’s no escape.

BEN CARSON Ben’s Brandy: brandy and bitters After a few sips, you’ll find sleep as easily as Carson does.

REPUBLICANS

RICK SANTORUM

Carrying Carson: vodka and lemon juice A favorite of older women, though no one really knows why.

Kamikaze Karly: vodka, triple sec, and lime juice (kamikaze shot) A strong drink, for when you’ve had a rough day – like after you drove a tech company into the ground.

JOHN KASICH Koastal Kasich: tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice More popular on the East Coast, no one in Iowa has really gotten a taste of this drink.

Clear-Cut Johnny: Everclear and punch A little of this goes a long way — like John’s hoping his tiny bit of campaigning in Iowa will.

MIKE HUCKABEE Hot Huckabee: peppermint schnapps and hot chocolate The aftertaste lingers far past its welcome — a tendency some people have, as well.

Magic Mike: Mike’s Hard Lemonade and a shot of vodka For when it’s going to take some magic to make your night a winner.

DRINK OF THE WEEK REVIEW

Don’t You is a do you Electric-pop trio Wet will release its major-label LP début, Don’t You.

By ISAAC HAMLET isaac-hamlet@uiowa.edu

Don’t You is easy to listen to beyond anything else. The album bubbles with sonically pleasing beats that ground its songs even as vocalist Kelly Zutrau’s voice soars with otherworldly quality.

Don’t You, the début album from electric-pop trio Wet, made up of Zutrau and instrumentalists Joe Valle and Marty Sulkow, will be released Friday.

The group has produced a set of 11 songs, all blending together well with easygoing rhythms and the consistent narrative of struggling relationships. A few of the songs — such as “All the Ways” — flirt with a faster pace but

never push themselves too far or become jarring.

The editing from song to song is well-balanced and services both the electric and R&B qualities, never allowing one to drown out the other.

When the editing flattens, it is only for micro-moments in which an echo might be a bit much and overpower a new, yet-unheard part of the song, but this is rare.

A more noticeable letdown is some of the songs’ damp lyrics. Most have a creative energy behind them, but for the first half of the album especially, many verses that spark and pop are doused by a cliché “you are all I ever need” or an “I don’t want to give up what we have.”

In spite of this, it still seems whenever a line that sounds perhaps too familiar makes an appearance, it’s delivered with such sincerity and framed with such conviction that the listener buys in. Otherwise, the songs will occasionally take the more well-used lines and focus on a different section than expected, taking the song in different directions.

This was especially noticeable in “Small and Silver.”

Wet has crafted songs that could have easily fallen flat if handled by other artists. But the vocal grace Zutrau brings to the pieces, the more-than-competent editing and the group’s effortless control over its sound makes Don’t You a powerful com-

pilation. Wet knows what it wants to evoke in its listeners, and the members have carefully bottled each song with exactly the amount of tragedy or triumph intended.

Only those who dive into the album in search of lyrical richness will find scant offerings, and even then, such songs as “Island” and “These Days” should tide them over. It’s hard to imagine anyone else being possibly put off

by Don’t You. Even if electric/R&B isn’t what would normally populate your playlists, the album still delivers a sound that melts easily in the ears. Avid fans of the genres, meanwhile, will find 40 minutes of music in which to be delightfully immersed.

BLOOD ORANGE THIS WINTER HASN’T BEEN A RELATIVELY HARSH ONE, AND I CAN ONLY HOPE IT STAYS THAT WAY UNTIL SPRING. BUT THIS DRINK, MADE UP FOR ME BY THE LOVELY BARTENDERS AT JOE’S PLACE, HAS GOT ME YEARNING FOR SUMMER. EXPERIENCE: THE BLOOD ORANGE IS SIMPLY REFRESHING. PERSONALLY, I DON’T LIKE VERY SWEET DRINKS, BUT THIS HAS ENOUGH TARTNESS FROM THE GRAPEFRUIT AND ORANGE JUICE. BACARDI O IS MIXED WITH THE TWO JUICES, WITH A HINT OF SPRITE, GRENADINE, AND BITTERS. IT GOES DOWN SMOOTHLY; JUST TRY NOT TO DRINK IT TOO FAST — THERE IS STILL A NICE KICK FROM THE DELICIOUS BACARDI. ADVICE: THE DRINK IS BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT IN GENERAL. THE GRENADINE CREATES A SORT OF SUNSET LOOK WITH THE ORANGE LIQUID. TO SWEETEN IT UP A BIT MORE, GARNISH IT WITH A SLICE OF ORANGE. — BY REBECCA MORIN

Standup comedy as a blanket Comedian Greg Wilson will bring his gonzo-style standup to the IMU tonight.

By ADAM BUHCK adam-buhck@uiowa.edu

Sometimes the greatest triumphs come from embracing the unexpected, rolling with the punches, and not being afraid of who you might offend.

Greg Wilson learned this lesson firsthand through his standup comedy. He will perform at 10 p.m. today in the IMU. The native of Dallas headed to comedy at a young age while pursuing an acting career.

“When I was younger, I wanted to be a very serious actor,” Wilson said. “I was doing a lot of Shakespeare. But most of the time, even when I did Shakespeare, I would get the comedy roles. Even though I wanted the big dramatic roles, I was getting the clown. One day I said ‘Hey, maybe I should stop fighting this and be a comedian.’ ” Wilson is best known for his work as a cast member on “truTV Presents: World’s Dumbest …,” a reality comedy show featuring a medley of moronic feats and unusual events captured on camera.

Wilson, alongside other comedians, provided satirical commentary for the video clips.

In addition to his TV work, Wilson has also done voice acting for video games, appearing in The Warriors and a couple of Grand Theft Auto titles. But what Wilson prides himself on the most is his standup.

Wilson practices gonzo standup, a style of comedy that flouts conventions and pushes against the barriers of what is socially acceptable. His brand of standup has earned him the praise of fans and invoked the ire of some club managers, who found his antics just a little too raunchy.

Some even banned him after seeing his act, but that was little deterrent for Wilson.

“Sometimes I deserved it, and sometimes I didn’t,” he said. “You can either take [getting banned] and have it collapse you, or you can have that, ‘I’ll show you’ attitude, and it drives you to get better.”

Wilson has devoted his life to the art of standup; when he’s not performing it, he’s teaching it. During his downtime between tours, he teaches classes at the Comedy Institute, an academy he started for standup comics. He teaches prospective comedians the skills they need to make it in the world of standup, including hosting, storytelling, and how to handle hecklers.

One of the techniques Wilson teaches to subdue a heckler is the “blanket technique” in which the comic takes everything a heckler says and simply “blankets” it with sound in order to drown him out.

“A heckler just wants to be heard,” he said. “In their mind, the whole audience thinks they’re the star, so what this technique does is simply

remove their ability to be heard.”

In one particular case, this technique drove a heckler into a fullblown tantrum. “[The heckler] actually got up and walked all the way to the side of the stage and started to heckle me from there, but I just kept blanketing her with sound and so she couldn’t be

heard,” he said. “She started throwing a tantrum like a child, stomping her feet on the floor and punching the air. It was hilarious.”

Although a run-in with a heckler might sour a comedian’s mood, for Wilson it’s just another way to engage with his audience.

“Some comics try to ignore when an audi-

ence member says something. I want to know what they said,” he said.

“I want something to

The descent of horrible Line of Descent will make its world première at Riverside Theater on Friday.

By ISAAC HAMLET isaac-hamlet@uiowa.edu

When you die, what are the chances everyone at your funeral will be a good person?

From mutual dislikes among natural enemies to insufferable family members who only grow more disdainful to long exposure to Bruce at work who smacks his lips so loudly during lunch that you can hear it from three cubicles over, life is littered with people worth despising. Why should that change after you die?

At 7:30 p.m. Friday, patrons of Riverside Theater, 213 N. Gilbert St., will have the opportunity to attend the world première of Line of Descent.

“It’s about four really awful people trying to outdo each other, all while wearing a very thin veil of politeness,” said director Sam Osheroff.

This dark comedy is set in the wake of a wealthy woman’s death and finds conniving mourners attempting to concoct a means to claim the dead woman’s fortune.

“We’re all horrible,” said John Cameron, a University of Iowa theater professor who had rehearsed the role of Douglas, but because of complications was replaced on Tuesday with Steven Mark Weiss, a Coe College professor.

“I think when you have four terrible people who are all without a sense of morality, then chaos ensues because everyone’s trying to take care of themselves.”

This sinister quartet comprises Douglas, Harry — a con man with nu-

merous alter egos — the pompous pedant Anna, who is cut out of the family, and Laura, a seemingly naïve dreamer.

“It’s like she’s simultaneously connected to another plane or another universe,” said Kris Danford, the actor who plays Laura. “She’s present, but she’s scattered and blithe.”

That may sound like a person who might struggle to stand up to the crowd of manipulators she faces. But over the course of the play, it should become clear the characters each have a unique flavor of villainy.

“Laura cares really only about being happy,” Danford said. “She comes into this house with these other three characters, and over the course of the play, she’s corrupted somewhat, and we see all of the hidden aspects of her personality."

This is to say nothing of Douglas Marshal, who just wants to “live in beautiful surroundings, not be bothered by the outside world, and to always remain at the age at which [he] first experienced love,” if it’s not too much to ask.

“The challenge is finding that darkness in a fun way,” said Rian Jairell, the actor portraying Harry. “In many ways, it’s a comedy of manners. People talk and are polite to each other in what they say, while there’s this dark undertone, which is true for my character especially.”

Jairell’s favorite part of farces, such as this one, is the 180-degree twists, the reversals in tone that catch the audience off-guard. A particular experience he

Kris Dandord (Laura) performs during a rehearsal for Line of Descent*on Monday. The play will open Friday and will run through Feb. 21 at Riverside Theater. (The Daily Iowan/Brooklynn Kascel) had embodies the kind of humor he feels the play provides.

“When I was in college, I worked in a college bookstore, and one of the ladies there was talking about her son,” Jairell said. “She was totally dead serious and said, ‘He gets in so much trouble, I’m going to kill him.’

Then someone walked by with a plate of goodies, and she said ‘Oh, cookies.’ I laughed out loud.

I keep coming back to that; there’s something hilarious about that kind of abrupt switch.”

Audiences will enjoy the mounting antics of the characters, and the cast will delight in the opportunity to act out despicable deeds.

“Being a terrible person is just fun,” Cameron

said. “I get to be all the things I don’t get to [normally] be.”

These amoral characters and their many machinations sprang from the imagination of playwright William McCauley, whose play wound up at Riverside because of a reference from a friend.

Despite being in New York, McCauley provided input to Osheroff on the production through phone and email. Because of the distance, his first time seeing the show will be Tuesday, Feb. 2nd.

“It’s been really satisfying to see, each time we work through it, the performance getting tighter and faster,” Osheroff said.

He noted that McCau-

ley’s play required such speed and precision that normal blocking ended up feeling more like choreography. McCauley has built a script that’s not only quick-witted, Osheroff said, but also quick in a very literal sense.

“Farces are hard to rehearse; they’re so specific it can be grueling work in the beginning stages,” Danford said. “Then, once you get all that groundwork laid, it’s like a roller-coaster ride, and you have to be on your toes every moment. It’s super high energy, and it never stops going.”

This being the first time the production has been performed, McCauley and those involved want audiences to be surprised. Ideally, everyone will be able to sit

back and let the actors carry them from one chaotic twist to another.

“This is a really fastpaced, stylized, funny farce that has pithy social commentary jokes in it,” Osheroff said. “This is a play that’s really apt for college students. It’s fast and sensationally wicked, and when that speed and wit come together, it really catches.”

Know Your Ledge Author • For me, marriage has been an adventure not unlike that of a Baggins: Get a ring, put it on, and suddenly become invisible to all but the Dark Lord.

• Most of my friends already have children or are in the process of making some. I’m at the age in which people seem to expect me to already have or start making children. Between the two, I always preferred the television show “Family Matters” over “Full House.” This has been “Three Unrelated Facts About Andrew.” Thank you.

• A lot of people own their mistakes. Not me. Still got 18 years’ worth of payments left on the house and at least 10 years on the graduate degree.

• Whenever there’s a loud noise in the condo next to mine, I’ll always turn my head to look at the shared wall as though I’ll suddenly develop X-ray vision and be able to see what’s making the racket, even though that’s only happened like twice — three times, tops.

• If you ever ask me to name my 10 favorite movies, I’ll summon, banish, and summon Beetlejuice and also Raising Arizona.
