A

s friends and family came to the podium to tell stories and remember the life of Andrew Mogni, there were a few characteristics that were commonly echoed: happiness, kindness, and charisma.

Roughly 500 people filled the IMU Second-loor Ballroom to celebrate Mogni’s life at a vigil on Sunday evening.

The stories told by family, friends, and UI officials painted a picture of Mogni that brought both laughter and tears to those who attended.

Sigma Nu President Mark Parise gave an opening statement reflecting on the feelings around the room.

“We hurt this much,” he told the crowd. “Because we lost that much.”

Mogni died on April 5, 80 days after he suffered a 40-foot fall in Rome while studying abroad at John Cabot University in Italy.

The 20-year-old Glen Ellyn, Illinois, native was a third-year UI student in the Tippie College of Business.

His father, Benjamin Mogni, said from the moment he visited the UI, it became his second home.

“Iowa was such a special place for Andrew,” he said. “He came and visit- Mogni ed and came home and said — that’s former UI junior where I’m going.”

Benjamin Mogni said his son felt at home here because people were nice, friendly, and most importantly, happy.

From the stories of many speakers, the clearest thing was that Andrew Mogni valued was everyone’s happiness.

One Sigma Nu brother and UI student reflected on something Andrew did that improved his life every single day when he lived in the fraternity house.

Mogni made it a goal to make him smile every day, and the student said, whether it was a joke or prank, it had an impact on his life.

His older brother, Ben Mogni, spoke during the vigil about what made Andrew Mogni so cared for: his ability to make anyone happy and the charisma no matter the situation.

He told a story of childhood mischief, where Ben was 14 and Andrew, 11. The duo set out to construct a PVC potato gun, because as kids, it was pretty cool.

Luxury auto deals risky

UI to extend tailgating

University of Iowa international students are being recruited to take part in exporting luxury cars illegally.

The University of Iowa extended its tailgating hours starting this fall, depending on the start time of a home football game.

By LI DAI li-dai@uiowa.edu

Members of organizations seeking to purchase new luxury automobiles in order to export them to China for resale are approaching University of Iowa students.

Luxury cars that typically sell at around $50,000 to $80,000 in the United States can be sold for as much as two or three times those prices in China.

“If you purchase a new car and sign an agreement stating that you will not resell to a buyer who is planning to export the vehicle, but then go ahead and do it, you may be exposing yourself to civil liability for breach of contract,” Lee Seedorff, the UI senior associate director of International Students and Scholars, wrote in an email to international students. “Dealerships are often fined by the auto company when this occurs, and they may choose to take you to court to

recover the cost of the fine, which can be several thousands of dollars.

“While there is still currently some uncertainty with different outcomes for different cases, it has resulted at times in asset seizures and even criminal prosecution by the federal government.”

The members of these organizations recruit Chinese students on Chinese social media apps, such as Weixin or Weibo, and pay around $500 for Chi- Seedorff nese students who provide associate director their driver’s licenses or driving permits and their home addresses because with this information, the organizations can buy luxury cars from car dealers.

Postgame tailgating hours will be extended for home football games starting this fall.

According to a press release, Iowa Athletics Director Gary Barta told football season-ticket holders during a conference call on April 16 that Hawkeye fans will have more time after home football games to stay in parking lots and tailgate.

According to the press release, for games that kick off at 11 a.m., alcohol consumption will stop three hours after a game ends, which is an hour longer than last year. All tailgating activities in UI-owned parking lots and ramps will stop four hours after 11 a.m. games.

“We know the opportunity to enjoy pregame and postgame time with friends and family is an important part of the game-day experience for many of our fans,” Barta said in a statement. “We’re optimistic that the

MOGNI CONTINUED FROM FRONT The story ended with Andrew’s smile and charisma saving the day.

“Andrew had this charisma about him; he played it off as it was absolutely nothing,” Ben Mogni said.

Another UI student told a story about “the complement game” or another way Mogni spent time in a joking manner making people happy.

“We would roll down my windows and yell at people walking down the street,” she said. “We loved yelling at the couples who would always be holding hands. Andrew would yell at the top of his lungs, ‘You make a great couple,’ and a lot of people actually flipped us off.”

She said things like that defined who Mogni was.

“He just had such an open personality, and was so kind, and so funny,” she said.

CARS

CONTINUED FROM FRONT required to go with the members of the organizations to dealerships in Des Moines or Chicago to buy the luxury cars and sign the purchase agreements.

UI students Shuang Wang and Rou Zhang, whose names have been changed to protect anonymity, did sell their driver’s licenses and addresses to the members of organizations, who then export the luxury cars.

Both students told The Daily Iowan that they did not know this practice was illegal.

“I just want to make some money from it,” Wang said.

“All I need to do is to give the member my driver’s license and address, then I go with him to the dealership in Des Monies to purchase the car.

“When everything is done, I can get $500. This is easy to make some money.”

Wang said if she knew this practice was illegal, she would not want to participate in it for the small profit.

“I think $500 is not a lot of money, compared to the profit that the organization makes,” Zhang said.

Zhang said he should get more than $500 from this practice.

“The organizations must know what they did for car resale is illegal, so I think

TAILGATE CONTINUED FROM FRONT rant, store, etc. People will be more likely to stay in Iowa City overnight.”

One UI student, although very excited about the extension, said he foresees possible problems with the decision.

“I think it will be pretty interesting, “ UI senior Dequante Hill said. “However, I think it could be pretty dangerous, as people usually start drinking early. Extending those hours could create more risks.”

Others spoke about his passion for music, no matter what time of day.

He constantly played his ukulele, and one student recalled a moment, in which he was running around the Sigma Nu house, wearing jorts and belting out songs while strumming along the small instrument at an odd time during the day.

She said it indicated the carefree, happy nature Mogni could bring to any situation.

Benjamin Mogni said the way anyone can remember his son is to make an effort to make a person happy.

“If you make someone else smile, or someone makes you smile, just make a note of it.”

Parise said despite how hard it can be to get in front of a mike, he was happy so many shared stories during the vigil.

“Everything that was told was the embodiment of Andrew.”

they should give the students who sell their driver licenses and addresses more money,” he said.

Christopher Malloy, the supervising attorney of Student Legal Services declined to comment on whether the car resale is a common phenomenon at the UI for confidentiality reasons. However, he said, he has read about the phenomenon in the news media.

“If a student purchases a new car and signs an agreement that they will not ship the car to China or resell the

car to someone intending to ship the car to China, the car manufacturer or dealer may sue them civilly in court for money damages for breaching the agreement, and federal law enforcement may investigate them very closely to see if they have broken any criminal laws,” he said.

Because the federal criminal law is very broad, he said, there are ways the government could charge somebody criminally after an investigation.

“Most of the consequenc-

es have been financial, with asset seizures and civil law suits,” Malloy said. “The criminal penalties up to this point have come from doing something else illegal while engaging in this business, such as using someone else’s identify to purchase cars or evading taxes.”

He said criminal charges could result in cancellations of visas, deportation, or being unable to renew a visa.

“Because this is a relatively new phenomenon, many cases are going through the

UI sophomore Gabe Vandenberg had positive things to say about the change.

“I like the idea,” he said.

“It gives people more time to socialize and do what they do, so, yeah, I probably will stick around.”

For students who are not into the tailgate culture, the extension will not make any difference.

“I don’t really tailgate, so I won’t make a sway of the decision if I don’t participate in it,” UI student Jared Szabot said. “I’m becoming more busy.

With graduate school coming up soon, I won’t have time going to any of the games.”

Postgame tailgating will not be permitted at all for games that start in the evening — 6 p.m. or later.

Sexual-assault shortcomings Paul Osgerby paul-osgerby@uiowa.edu

Iowa State’s campus is playing host to a federal investigation in regards to a sexual-assault case, where the father of the victim, who remains anonymous for the protection of her identity, filed a complaint of mishandling the internal examination and the resulting re-victimization of his daughter.

The father accused ISU President Steven Leath, and other college presidents, of spending too much time involved in the discourse surrounding sexual assault and not in enacting policy changes. He has a point.

Patrick Whetstone, the perpetrator who is now facing charges, allegedly forcibly imposed various sexacts on the victim after an on-campus party in March 2014. The 19-year-old woman dropped out of the semester. In May that year, she identified Whetstone as the attacker. Upon returning to school in August, she discovered that the campus-provided housing had placed her next door to the man.

How in all possible conscious thought could the university’s housing department allow that to happen?

The university allegedly couldn’t reassign the housing. Iowa State’s attorney Paul Tanaka could merely respond that the student assistance office is available for those in crisis, “especially those who have experienced sexual assault,” as he told the Des Moines Register.

There are two important distinctions that I recognize with this case: 1) sexual assault is prevalent in college culture (disgustingly to the degree that it is seemingly a norm), which is very much not alien to this state, and 2) there is an

institutional failure within the university framework.

The cases span from Florida this past spring to the UI campus in the past several years. What is startling is that fewer than one-third of reported sexual-assault cases nationwide result in the expulsion of the offender.

Another daunting number is that ISU is one of at least 97 colleges, including Drake University, facing investigations by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights.

Universities are not doing their part to properly handle such cases in the most effective and just manner. Furthermore, the ISU victim’s father is correct that too much is spent facilitating the discussion of sexual assault on campus. UI President Sally Mason is no stranger to this controversy.

Following the slew of reported sexual-assault cases in recent years, the UI adopted a new Six-Point Plan to Combat Sexual Assault in February 2014. It identifies as: “Crack down on offenders, increase support for survivors, improve prevention and education, improve communication, add funding, and listen more and report back.”

Though well-intentioned, the language is ambiguous and open-ended. It is purposefully meant to allow overarching interpretations in order to address the issues case-by-case. However, that could ultimately be its demise. I see it allowing for more lapses in the future through misapplications of its ideals.

There is a lack of fundamental change in the guidelines of our current attempts to combat sexual assault. It seems that only transitory, or quasi-evolutionary, steps are being made when perhaps an overhaul is necessary.

This allows the college culture of sexual assault to continue. Furthermore, and most importantly, institutions are stagnating in addressing these invasions of the human body.

Address concerns on Chauncey

T

he location for the controversial construction of the Chauncey Tower in downtown Iowa City garnered a 3-3 split among members of the Iowa City Planning and Zoning Committee on April 16.

As a result, the potential location of the 15-story tower will be left to the Iowa City City Council to decide without a recommendation from the panel.

The construction of the Chauncey Tower has sparked heated debate at almost every step of the way from its funding to its size. A clear divide has formed between those wishing to invest in the potential benefits for downtown that will accompany the Chauncey’s construction and those who see the Chauncey’s potential to quite literally cast a shadow over Iowa City.

The current plans for the Chauncey will contain a litany of amenities that would bolster economic growth downtown, such as “a 35-unit hotel and eight floors of apartment units” along with “100- and 150-seat movie theaters, two six-lane bowling alleys, a cafe, art and sculpture galleries, and an outdoor patio.”

Construction of the Chauncey would certainly set precedent for substantial development in the area, but many in the community are opposed to the “approximately 27,200-square-foot site at the northeast corner of College and Gilbert Streets” being rezoned from a majority public space to one that can accommodate the construction of the facility.

Members of the Episcopal Trinity Church, which has

been in Iowa City since 1871, raised particular concerns about a shadow that would be cast over the church doing the day. Furthermore, there are questions of parking and other logistical aspects that would need to be addressed given current difficulties found downtown without the 15-story tower.

Construction of the Chauncey does offer many potential benefits, but those benefits must be weighed within the context of the city as a whole. Iowa City is a community that extends farther than downtown, and any decision made that will affect the community as a whole should be made with that in mind. Any effort to improve the community should not be made without the unanimous support of the community as a whole.

Even if certain concerns regarding the construction of the Chauncey may be unfounded or potentially corrected, the amount of apprehension vocalized by the community should serve as an indicator that more needs to be done to address these concerns.

A project as large as this should not be forced upon the community, especially given the inability for those involved to consistently come to definitive decisions regarding the realization of the project.

The Chauncey may be coming whether we like it or not, but in the meantime, more needs to be done to either alleviate the concerns of the community as far as the current plans or make the necessary changes to accommodate the rest of the community.

The tired debate of abortion Christopher Cervantes cmikemayvantes@gmail.com

If there is any part of the political experience that I enjoy more than any other, it is seeing two consummate professionals debate one another. There is just something about watching individuals using only their wit and the latest information to state a point and then try to out perform their adversary.

At least, that is what is supposed to happen.

Sadly, I have seen many a debate turn from an educated, yet passionate, argument into a stubborn shouting match that is more akin to a playground squabble than a professional political deliberation.

Such is the case of the

growing tension between Sen. and presidential candidate Rand Paul and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz. Both individuals have made headlines recently over their debate on the legality and morality of abortion. While both politicians are respected in the political sphere (Shultz serves as the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee), both gave an unremarkable debate. Paul accused Shultz of promoting the murder of fetuses, while Shultz returned the accusation, only citing ailing women as the victims.

Sound familiar?

It should, since they are the same accusations that have been tossed about since the abortion issue has been around. Frankly, it is getting tired.

The year is 2015. Decades have passed since fetal termination has become an issue. There have been countless breakthroughs in the field of medicine and social re-

forms during the elapsed time. You’d think that after all of this time, all this technology, and all of the evolved social mindsets we would hear some type of other reasoning besides the regurgitated notes from the early to mid-1900s.

I worry over the lack of development in this debated field of sociological science. It makes me wonder if we have really developed enough to reach a state of open mindedness.

It also forces me to ponder about how the future of this controversial topic.

The sad thing is, I find myself caring less than I ever had.

This political deadlock is creating apathy among anyone who follows it. Just as indifference is worse than hate, apathy is worse than any other negative feelings about a governmental soft spot. At least if you hold a negative thought towards

something, then you feel something. However, once apathy grabs ahold of your emotional involvement, then you simply stop caring.

Because of the lack of care, the issue grows stagnant and undesirable to mention. From that point on, it doesn’t mater anymore. People move on to a more suitable debate, one more thought-provoking and informational.

The debate over abortion is an entirely tired one. I’m not saying that it isn’t important, because it is. Nevertheless, the way it’s deliberated amongst politicos and covered by the media is absolutely shameful. It seems as if they don’t care.

If the professionals and advocates don’t care enough to express their opinions in an informative manner, the masses are doomed to ignore the issue in favor of a more interesting discussion.

a harsh stance against marijuana, ordering more medical dispensary raids than the Bush administration.

Our next president should let states manage this issue on their own — tell would-be presidents that as they stump for the Iowa caucuses.

Minds are changing, and the momentum is on our side. About half of Iowans support legalizing recreational marijuana, according to a recent Des Moines Register survey. With your help, real reform is possible.

Slow food is a movement that encourages people to slow down and take the time to prepare and enjoy a healthy meal. I know that as college students we are strapped for time and living off tight budgets.

Preparing our own meals probably sounds like a financial and time burden that is not worth it. Trust me, slow food is feasible and beneficial.

Simply take an hour a day to prepare and enjoy a healthy meal with good friends or family.

Slow food will help improve your health and relationships and reduce stress. Preparing home-cooked meals minimizes the amount of unhealthy fast food that students often overload their bodies with. Sharing a meal also brings people together like nothing else, but only when done properly.

Call over some friends and socialize during this slow-food process, make new friends and catch up with old friends. This is also a time to forget about homework and obligations.

Leave your stress where you dropped your backpack and just live in the moment for an hour. Enjoy the good food and good company.

I hope you will skip the freaky fast Jimmy John’s delivery and fire up the grill with friends and enjoy some slow food.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Time for pot law reform Did you know there have been no known marijuana overdoses in medical history?

Cigarettes, alcohol, and prescription drugs kill far more Americans each year. So do pet dogs, swimming pools, and automobiles.

Those things all remain legal, yet marijuana and our justice system ruin thousands of young people’s lives each year.

Today is known as 4/20, the pot smokers’ holiday. Millions of Americans will light up today, and precisely zero of them will suffer serious health consequences because of it. It’s past time for Iowa to do away with prohibition of the harmless cannabis plant.

Our government manufactures the gravest consequences of marijuana use. A drug-related charge sets off a chain of dire events for far too many Americans each day.

First, you’re put in a jail cell, and the cops’ version of the story becomes a public record for your family, news organizations, and anyone on the Internet to see.

Hopefully, you can afford to bond out, but you’ll still be faced with months of legal proceedings and

exorbitant fees from lawyers and the state government.

If you’re eventually convicted or coaxed into a plea deal, the incident could plague you for life. A 2010 Pew Charitable Trust study showed incarceration permanently curbs a person’s earning potential, dragging down annual earnings by as much as 40 percent.

Recent years have given us some promising signs of reform. About half of the states now have medical cannabis programs and a few places have even legalized recreational marijuana.

But that’s not enough — just one person being thrown in a cage for a victimless crime is one too many.

In honor of 4/20, here are three things you can do to help: • Contact local law enforcement.

Cops do not have to enforce marijuana possession laws. Tell your police chief and your sheriff that nonviolent drug users do not belong behind bars.

• Call your lawmaker. Iowa legislators are considering bills this year to expand the state’s medical cannabis law and to reclassify marijuana possession offenses. These are good first steps toward reasonable reform, but they won’t pass unless lawmakers hear from you.

• Vet presidential candidates. The Obama administration has taken

Mike Corrie chapter president, UI Young Americans for Liberty

Join the slow-food movement The college lifestyle is a whirlwind mix of school, friends, work, and extracurricular activities. As students we are moving at a thousand mph trying to keep up with life. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line we forgot how to properly enjoy a meal.

More often than not, students are throwing something in the microwave and taking it to go. Food has been reduced to simply being fuel for our bodies and nothing more. We have hit a low with food, it’s time we made slow food a part of our lives.

Fiber-optics may be coming to the Iowa City area A Cedar Rapids-based company is looking to expand its fiber-optic services to Iowa City — potentially increasing local internet speeds.

By BEN MARKS benjamin-marks@uiowa.edu

Even if fiber-optic technology doesn’t come to Iowa City, experts say cable and Internet prices will still most likely drop.

Within the last month, two fiber-optic companies have announced plans of possibly expanding into the Iowa City area.

Today, the Cedar Rapids-based company ImOn Communications began surveying neighborhoods in Iowa City as its next possible expansion, and in March, crews for Indiana-based Metronet Technologies began their surveying work as well.

ImOn started in Cedar Rapids eight years ago and has also expanded into Marion and Hiawatha, ImOn CEO Patrice Carroll said.

Fiber-optic is a method of transmitting information that uses light instead of electricity, said Ted Herman, a University of Iowa Professor of computer science and it is capable of immensely faster speeds.

Herman “No one UI professor really knows what the limit is,” Herman said.

ImOn provides its Internet and cable services through these fiber-optic lines instead of phone lines such CenturyLink

ImOn expects to finish surveying May 6 and at that time the company will determine for sure whether it is financially able to expand into the city.

If the decision to expand is made, Carroll said Iowa City residents can expect services to be available within several months.

Taking a powder, or not, in the state of Iowa

By ALYSSA GUZMAN alyssa-guzman@uiowa.edu

Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, Nesquik, Country Time Lemonade, and now … vodka?

Currently, powdered alcohol — palcohol — has become a controversy in the United States. So far, it’s been banned in seven states, and it is still awaiting a decision in Iowa.

“I think that the only state in which palcohol stands a chance is in Colorado, where they’re considering legalizing and regulating,” said Robert Bailey, a spokesman for the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division.

At present, a bill banning powdered alcohol cleared in the Iowa Senate on March 18, and an identical bill is in the House and was referred to the commerce committe on April 3.

“It concerns me that there is a proposed ban of powdered alcohol denying millions of responsible adults and hundreds of businesses a chance to use this legal, safe, and revolutionary new product that has applications in medicine, e n e r g y, hospitality, the military, manufacturing, etc., as well Phillips as reducing Founder, Palcohol the carbon footprint by being so much lighter to ship than liquid alcohol,” wrote Mark Phillips, the creator of palcohol, in an email. His company is called Palcohol.

There are many concerns about powdered alcohol, which include easier accessibility for youth to

it in a different volume,” House said. “There’s no reason you couldn’t reconstitute the alcohol in just an ounce [of liquid]. You can make the palcohol in any volume you want.”

Rebecca Don, a behavioral health consultant at UI Student Health and Wellness, said palcohol adds to UI concerns.

“Campuses across the nation have been working to address harmful alcohol use for years, and while we have seen some great progress, we still haven’t solved it,” she said.

“Throwing powered alcohol into the equation now adds another layer that now needs to be investigated and addressed.”

Phillips said he believes students would much rather prefer liquid alcohol to powdered alcohol because powdered alcohol is more expensive and can’t be ingested on its own.

With the health and safety concerns, some experts are skeptical about palcohol.

Bryce Plapp, a UI professor emeritus of biochemistry who researches alcohol, said the part of alcohol that intoxicates people is ethanol, which is always in a liquid form.

A Palcohol official wrote House said he believes overconsumption is a big in an email that officials are unable to comment on factor with palcohol.

“You can reconstitute how palcohol is made. sneak it around, mixing it with beverages that already contain alcohol to increase the potency, and taking it by snorting it.

Phillips wrote in an email that snorting palcohol would be more difficult than snorting liquid alcohol, and it is also more difficult to sneak into venues.

Despite these counterarguments, some people are still unsure about the substance.

Hans House, vice head of education and interim vice head of research in the UI Emergency Medicine Department, said that despite the advice not to snort palcohol, “people out there are dumb, and they’ll find ways to abuse anything.”

Another issue with snorting, he said, is damage to the central nervous system.

These factors, and more, make officials wary of palcohol.

“The Iowa Alcoholic Beverage Division’s stance is that there are too many unknowns about this product,” Bailey said.

Plapp said if people would really like to have alcohol at a high concentration, they should go to the liquor store.

“The only advantage I can see is the so called powdered alcohol is maybe that you wouldn’t spill it so easily,” he said.

Phillips, however, sees many advantages to palcohol.

“Liquid alcohol is easier to conceal, easier to spike drinks, and easier to use to binge drink,” he said. “It’s much less expensive and allows someone to get drunk faster, both which appeal to the underage drinker.”

Despite the many criticisms of his product, Phillips said, he believes palcohol needs to be made legal, regulated, and taxed as is liquid alcohol.

“All of the criticisms are just hyperboles created by people who have no knowledge of the product,” Phil-

THE WORD FROM CHICAGO

IOWA LEGISLATURE

Lawmakers celebrate Horn

By ALEKSANDRA VUJICIC aleksandra-vujicic@uiowa.edu

Iowa’s longest serving legislator will leave the Capitol at the end of his current four-year term.

Sen. Wally Horn, D-Cedar Rapids, told the Gazette he has three more years and “I think that will be it.”

The Daily Iowan could not reach Horn for comment by the time of publication, but in looking back on Horn’s tenure as a state lawmaker, fellow legislators acknowledged his dedication to students and workers, along with his breadth of knowledge that comes with five decades of experience.

Some lawmakers had to take a second to think about just how long Horn has served in the Capitol.

“That can’t be right, can it?” Sen. Tom Courtney, D-Burlington, said. “Is that really true? Almost 50 years? My goodness.”

Sen. Jeff Danielson, D-Waterloo, also said Horn has one of the biggest hearts to get up dayto-day and work through the criticism that comes with being a politician.

“Who does anything for that long?” Danielson said.

“Much less politics which is something that has a very negative perception.”

Horn is serving his 10th four-year term in the state Senate, and he previously served five terms in the Iowa House. He was the Senate majority leader from 1992-96 and is now the head of the Ethics and Veterans Affairs Committees.

He was also the co-head of

the administrative rules and review committee.

Now, well into his fifth decade as a state legislator, Courtney said the 81-yearold has been a good representative of labor and education, who has had few challengers when it comes Horn to getting Senator re-elected.

“I think that speaks a lot for him and it speaks a lot for his district,” Courtney said, noting that people who keep re-electing him think that much of him.

Horn represents portions of Cedar Rapids and the southwestern part of Linn County, which tends to be a safe Democratic district.

Danielson said Horn has been a mentor to him ever since he was first elected.

And he says the first thing that is noticeable about Horn is how much the former coach and teacher cares about kids and his work to keep investments in education a top priority.

“It’s always impressive to see Wally, when we come to decision-making time at the end of the year, he’s the first and best advocate for investment in education, and that’s pretty impressive especially when you look at what’s going on now, there seems to be a number of people who have lowered it on the priority list,” Danielson said.

Danielson recalls a serious and heated gambling

debate over the touch-play controversy when video lottery machines were proliferating. Danielson said he will never forget the debate and what Horn said towards the end of it as emotions were running high.

Danielson recalled Horn saying, “Every time we have a gambling debate you tell me I’m going to hell for whatever I vote on, and here I am, I’m still here.”

Danielson said “only Wally could’ve done this.”

Courtney said he met the senior senator while lobbying when Horn was the Senate majority leader. The two became friends when Courtney took office in 2003.

Horn has brought a valuable wealth of knowledge and experience to the committees he has chaired, Courtney said “People talk about term limits and things like that, but there’s a lot to be said for longevity, too,” he said. “When we get into discussions about what’s happened before, he can tell you what’s happened before and maybe stop you from making a mistake in the future.”

Sen. Dick Dearden, D-Des Moines, said this is the first year he has gotten to work with the senior senator.

Dearden, who plans on retiring next year, said Horn has always been an advocate for working people and that he really does love his job.

“I’m sure it was a difficult decision for him to make because he really enjoys the job,” Dearden said.

BASEBALL CONTINUED FROM 14 and poor conditions, Heller made the decision to move Sunday’s game up and make Saturday a double-header to steer clear of the poor weather.

Instead, they ran into it at full speed.

“I went to bed last night after talking to our weather guys and was set on playing all three days, but then he called me Saturday morning telling me the forecast had really changed,” Heller said. “His opinion was that we should try to play two because we might be facing an all-day rain Sunday.”

THE DAILY IOWAN DAILYIOWAN.COM MONDAY, APRIL 20, 2015

Going against his gut, Heller agreed to move the game up. It turned out to be a decision he regretted.

“If I had to do it all over in hindsight, I would have went with my gut and stuck it out over all three days,” Heller said. “You never want to play a double-header, because a lot of things can happen.”

Oddly enough, the April 18 situation wasn’t virgin territory for Heller and his staff.

One year ago, he made the decision to wait out a major storm that delayed Iowa’s Senior Day by nearly three hours only to see it end in similar fashion: a failed desperation rally in the bottom of the ninth after 130 minutes of idle time.

And while Iowa still

took the series against the Wildcats, 2-1, the chance for a sweep would have solidified Iowa’s place alone atop the Big Ten rankings.

The Hawks lost a golden opportunity for a comeback though no real fault of their own.

“It just stings,” Goodman said. “We know we can’t get this one back.”

end, the redshirt sophomore recorded a 0.50 ERA in 14 innings. She also notched 12 strikeouts.

And her dominance was much needed.

In the series opener on April 17, the Hawks mustered just 1 hit — a hit that could not have come at a more opportune moment.

After Purdue hurler Lill Fecho walked sophomore Sammi Gyerman in the sixth, senior Megan Blank blasted the eventual game-winning home run to cash in on Starkenburg’s brilliance.

“Megan finally made an adjustment and attacked a pitch that was in the middle of the zone and attacked it really well,” Looper said in a release. “It was nice to have Sammie on with a walk right before her so it did a little more damage.”

TENNIS CONTINUED FROM 14 season with a record of 7-2 overall, 6-2 in Big Ten matches.

“I didn’t think we played with much energy in doubles, and they played well,” Iowa head coach Ross Wilson said.

“They beat our No. 2 team, who has won for us all year long, and I think that was a big win for them.”

After losing in doubles, the Hawkeyes dropped two more matches in singles to go down 3-0.

Hagan, ranked No. 117 nationally, was up against No. 123 Leonard Stakhovsky. The first set was close, but the second set wasn’t, and Hagan defeated Stakhovsky (7-5, 6-3).

Freshman Lefteris Theodorou secured a win for the Hawkeyes over Penn State’s Alex Fennell at the No. 2 position (6-1, 5-7, 6-3). The freshman went up 5-2 in the second set but couldn’t close out the match and dropped five games in a row to lose the set.

With the match tied at a set apiece, Theodorou took the win in the third.

In his match against Chicago State, he was forced into a tiebreaker to win his match, the last one being played.

Wilson was glad to see Theodorou secure victories in both matches but also wants to see him close out matches earlier.

“He got his money’s worth today. I think he made things much harder on himself than he had to, and we’re trying to work with him on that,” Wilson said. “That’s just being immature and being a freshman; that’s what’s going to happen.

“There are a lot of close matches and when you get the momentum or the upper-hand you’ve got to fight to keep it. That’s something he struggles with, but it was nice for him to win.”

By MARIO WILLIAMS mario-williams@uiowa.edu

The Iowa track and field team competed in yet another relay competition, traveling to Walnut, California, to compete at the Mt. SAC Relays April 17-18.

Some members of the squad not only notched personal records but broke some school marks as well.

Most notably, junior Lake Kwaza broke the school record in the women’s 100 meters.

She crossed the line in 11.40 to top the previous school mark of 11.45. The junior’s time ranks seventh nationally and first in the conference.

Sophomore Brittany Brown finished at 11.53 to earn ninth place, third on Iowa’s all-time list.

Freshman Carter Lilly added his name to Iowa’s all-time list, finishing seventh in the men’s 800 meters. His time of 1:50.12 is now the ninth-fastest time in that event.

Senior Jack Eckert and redshirt freshman William Dougherty competed in the men’s decathlon, with Eckert earning 7,094 points and finishing first in one of two sections. His mark is now second on Iowa’s alltime list. Dougherty finished ninth in his section, earning 6,735 points. His mark ranks fifth on Iowa’s all-time list.

The men’s 1,600-meter relay squad of Mitch Wolff, Brendan Thompson, Aaron Mallett, and Brennan Davey ran a season-best time of 3:08.93.

“It was a big breakthrough race for the 4x4,” Iowa Director of Track and Field Joey Woody said in a release. “That type of performance was right around the corner for them. They all ran close to their best times, although I know more is in the tank. Mitch got the relay out in front, and we were able to have a clean lead from there.”

Mallett also competed in his signature event — the men’s 110-hurdles, finishing ninth with a time of 13.77.

“I was very happy to see Aaron run a good time today with what was not a great technical race,” Woody said in a release.

“He beat some highly ranked athletes head-tohead, which always leads to great performances down the line.”

Sophomores Elexis Guster and Brittany Brown showed up in their events. Guster finished sixth in the women’s 400 meters, with a season-best time of 53.30. Her mark is tops in the conference and 19th nationally.

Brown finished eighth in the women’s 200 meters with a season-best time of 23.14. Her mark is 11th nationally.

“Brittany beat some great athletes today," Woody said in a release.

“Jessica Ip had a good tournament, and I think it will give her some good confidence going into Big Tens,” head coach Megan Menzel said. “We struggled this week, but we learned a lot, and we will be ready for the conference tour-

nament this weekend.”

Hawk golfers finish third

By ROD ENGBLOM roderick-engblom@uiowa.edu

After two days and 72 holes of play at the Hawkeye-Great River Entertainment Invitational at Finkbine, the Hawkeyes finished with a team score of 853, putting them at 11-under.

The first day consisted of 36 holes in which the Hawkeyes finished at 564, 12-under on April 18. The second day of competition, in which they played 18 holes, they scored 289.

Sophomore Carson Schaake made some huge contributions to the team score on April 18, when he shot 66 (6-under) on the second 18 of the day after shooting 73 (1-over) in the first.

“I just was solid overall,” Schaake said. “I was hitting my driver good all week, and I took out one side of the golf course. I didn’t hit it left very much all week, so I really knew where the ball was going. I made a couple putts here and there, and I turned in a pretty good score.”

Consistent driving helped Carson hit the fair-

ways at Finkbine, which enabled him to have better positioning on his second shots and gave him a better chance at scoring a birdie rather taking difficult shots from the rough.

Even with Schaake’s solid performance, the team still struggled toward the end en route to its third-place finish.

“We were playing from behind a little bit, and we needed to hit some greens and give ourselves some opportunities there late to hopefully have some putts fall and pick up a few,” head coach Tyler Stith said. “But unfortunately, it just didn’t go that way for us.”

Stith also emphasized some missed opportunities to capitalize on par 5s, on which several bogeys added strokes to the team score that ultimately affected Iowa’s position.

Despite some struggles the team had, Stith still thought the Hawks played well.

“Overall, they performed really well,” he said. “We shot 11-under

par, and I think if you look back, that’s usually good enough to win this tournament. We got some great weather this week, and we just got outplayed.

Iowa State and Idaho both played really well.”

The Hawkeyes were disappointed in their performance, especially considering it hosted the invitational. However, with the Big Ten Championships next weekend, it will have to put this tournament in the rearview mirror in preparation for the postseason.

“We came in third, which is not bad, but obviously, we want to do better on our home course,” sophomore Raymond Knoll said.

“But overall, we’re happy with how we played, we’re happy with where we are at, and we’re looking forward to going down to Big Tens next weekend.”

Schaake shines for golfers

By KYLE MANN kyle-mann@uiowa.edu

Iowa sophomore Carson Schaake has taken a step forward in his second season as a college golfer, leading the Hawks in the Hawkeye Great-River Entertainment Invitational over the weekend.

Schaake’s 6-under-par at Finkbine was not only an example of how well he is playing, but also how he got there.

He finished tied for fourth after shooting a 71 in the final round on Sunday, but he made his major move on the leaderboard in the second round on April 18. His 66 tied for the second-best round at the event and the best among Iowa players.

With the cooperation of Mother Nature holding off rain, Schaake was able to put himself in good position on the fairways.

“On this course, it’s key to hit good drives; it’s a firstshot course, and if you can hit it in the fairway you can have a lot of wedges to the greens,” he said. “I was hitting the driver pretty good

all week. I didn’t hit it left all week, so I really knew where the ball was going.”

Once in position, his performance certainly was aided by the presence of assistant coach Dan Holterhaus, who walked the course with Schaake on both days.

“I know I played well, but I still have a lot to improve on, and one of those things is my maturity,” Schaake said. “Picking right clubs at right times; there were three or four shots this weekend where I didn’t pick the right one, and it led to bogeys or one shot fewer. Coach Dan helped with a lot of that, and I felt like when he was with me, I didn’t make as many mistakes as when I’m by myself.”

For a player who prides himself on his power and being aggressive, Schaake’s patience and course management impressed Holterhaus.

“I saw him do a lot of the same things he does in practice every day. He’s creative on the course and he likes to hit different shots,” Hol-

terhaus said. “But I thought he stayed patient out there, took it one shot at a time, and it paid off for him. He had a nice week.”

Holterhaus said he primarily is there to instill confidence and support, but Schaake gave him credit for advising him on numerous occasions over the weekend.

As far as head coach Tyler Stith is concerned, mission accomplished.

“Some coaches sit at the par 3s, but I sometimes like to be at the par 5s,” Stith said.

Although Holterhaus played down his contribution, he did exactly what a staff is there to do, and Schaake’s impressive performance is likely no coincidence. They can dole out the credit upon returning to the clubhouse, but on this particular weekend, they made a great team.

Rain drowns out Hawk rally An ill-timed storm killed Iowa’s chances for a comeback.

By RYAN RODRIGUEZ Iowa pitcher Luke Vandermaten wound up and delivered the 0-2 pitch, striking out Northwestern DH Grant Pikert to send the Hawkeyes to the bottom of the final inning, a chance for yet another dramatic walk-off still in reach.

Three hours and 10 minutes later, Jimmy Frankos’ fly ball sailed into the glove of Northwestern center-fielder Kyle Ruchim, leaving the Iowa rally dead in the water.

Nearly six hours after it began, the final leg of

Iowa’s back-to back against Northwestern came to a close, an ill-timed rain delay zapping Iowa’s momentum and chances of completing the comeback.

“After such a long delay like that, it stung to lose,’” Iowa third-basemen Kris Goodman said. “When something like that happens, you just want to get it out of your mind and move on to the next one, because you have to have a short memory about that kind of stuff.’”

On April 17, the Hawkeyes made a dramatic comeback, erasing a 3-1 deficit in the bottom of the ninth to steal a 4-3 win on Jake Mangler’s walk-off single.

Iowa’s players and coaches, the Hawks were ready to get down to business and steal another one.

Unfortunately for them, Mother Nature had other intentions.

“It was either wait it out and play after it passed or have to come back Sunday afternoon to finish the final inning,” Iowa head coach Rick Heller said. “We weren’t with the decision to finish the game out tonight.”

The double-header was a result of a Sunday weather forecast calling for heavy storms throughout most of the day.

Iowa softball is gaining some ground in the Big Ten standings.

After taking two of three in West Lafayette, Indiana, against Purdue over the weekend, the Hawks improved to 16-33, 7-10 in the conference.

“Especially after the Wisconsin series win, it gives us some big momentum,” junior Erin Erickson said. “You can’t count us out; we’ve upset some great teams.”

The team clinched the series with a 5-1 victory in the second game of a dou- Looper ble-header on April 18. After head coach dropping the initial game 4-1, the Hawks used a steady offensive outing and a dominant performance from a red-hot Shayla Starkenburg in the circle to stifle the Boilermakers.

“It was nice to see the team come out and bounce back after the first game today,” head coach Marla Looper said in a release.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t get the win in Game 1, but we came back and took care of business in Game 2 to take the series.”
