hen he ran up behind her on a track three years ago, the first thing Capt. Ricks Polk noticed about Leah Vander Boon was her form. “She ran awkwardly,” he said. “I thought, ‘I gotta help her.’ She’s wasting a lot of energy running awkwardly.” What the commanding officer of Iowa State Navy ROTC now notices about her is the determination that got her through the program, the leadership that she developed and the Marine that she became. Vander Boon, senior in communication studies and Marine option NROTC midshipman, will commission as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps on May 9. She will be the second female midshipman from Iowa State to commission as a Marine. Capt. Reinalyn Golino became the first in 2009. Golino currently serves as an officer selection officer in Bloomington, Ind. “I’ve watched [Vander Boon] mature into a very strong Marine,” Polk said. “She’s gotten stronger, she’s gotten faster, she’s gotten better.” They had their doubts… It was not an easy road for Vander Boon. She did not know what she

Months later, she found out she did receive the scholarship. “Freshman year was a complete wake-up call,” she said. “I thought, ‘I am getting up at 5 a.m. every morning, I am tired, people are yelling at me, what is this?’” She planned to finish the first year and then drop the program. “I was going to quit,” she said. “I was going to go back to

Lecture discusses trends in young adults’ spiritual lives By John.Kruse @iowastatedaily.com Students ventured out to hear about the patterns of their generation’s spirituality and religious devotion Monday in the Memorial Union. Christian Smith, professor of sociology at the University of Notre Dame, spoke on the findings of his 16-year-old research project, which examined the changing patterns that emerging adults, ages 19 to 23, experience in their spiritual lives. “It’s a time of freedom and exploring opportunities,” Smith said, speaking on the characteristics of the age group he studied. “It’s also a time of fear and anxiety.” For his research, Smith surveyed 3,370 parent and teen pairs throughout the 16 years. During these two- to four-hour discussions, Smith and his team would ask the young adults questions related to their spiritual beliefs and outlooks on life. “This generation of emerging adulthood is a script, and the script says two things: one, you’re having fun, and two, you’re building future materials for success,” Smith said. From this research, Smith said he discovered a multitude of patterns and characteristics that separate this generation from all others. “Things have changed in the last decades. My dad ran away from home when he was 16. He got married when he was 19,” Smith said. “Young people are waiting longer and longer to get married and they’re waiting longer and longer to have babies.”

Christian Smith, author, professor and director of the Center for the Study of Religion and Society at Notre Dame, gave a lecture Monday in the Memorial Union about religion for college-age Americans.

This, Smith said, along with birth control pills, cultural saturation of entertainment, postmodern-relativism and several other factors have created a generation that is actively given more time to explore their personal beliefs and ideals. “You are one of the first generations to have so many options to explore,” Smith said. However, this sort of mentality and lifestyle has led to an avoidance of exploring beliefs, and an overall fear of challenging others’ beliefs, Smith said. “Trying to talk to an emerging adult about faith is like talking to a 14 year old about life insurance,” Smith said. According to Smith’s study, this avoidance of examining one’s faith during these emerging adult years leads to a mentality of waiting to think about one’s beliefs

until he or she reaches an older age. However, most young people surveyed said they looked at religion favorably, seeing it as a basis for learning morality. “Emerging adults would consider religious congregates like elementary schools of morals,” Smith said. This mentality toward religious institutions could explain the declining attendance of many religious institutions over the past years, Smith said. “There’s really no rationale for an 18 year old to go to church,” Smith said. “Once you pass fifth grade, you don’t go back to elementary school.” Many students said they agreed with Smith’s evaluation of their generation, saying that some of the generalizations he made described them perfectly. “He said a lot of things that I completely agreed and felt at one time, especially with that mentality of having fun,” said Sara Brinkman, junior in agricultural biochemistry. The Rev. Jon Seda of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church said he feels this sort of mentality has been prevalent for the long duration that he was a priest. “I have seen people in their 40s and 50s with that same mentality,” Seda said. “I have spoken at funerals for people with sports team logos instead of crosses on their tombstones.” In the end, Smith said, these young adults will have their own children and take them to church the same way they take them to elementary school, diligently attending every appointment but trailing off when the lesson is learned.

Marco Rubio announces presidential campaign By Alex.Hanson @iowastatedaily.com Add U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., to the growing list of Republicans who are running for president in 2016. Rubio officially became the third Republican to announce his intention to run on Monday while he was speaking to group of his biggest donors and supporters on a conference call. The announcement came hours before he will formally announce his intentions in his home state of Florida. Rubio is set to speak to a crowd at the Freedom Tower in Miami on Monday evening. Rubio, 43, is the junior senator from Florida, serving his first term since 2011. Rubio, a Cuban American, worked as a city commissioner in West Miami in the 1990s before being elected to the Florida House of Representatives where he would eventually become Speaker. His announcement may have been overshadowed by Hillary Clinton’s campaign announcement on Sunday, but Mack Shelley, professor of political science, said he is not surprised by the timing of Rubio’s announcement because several of his Senate colleagues have already jumped in. Rubio’s name began to float around as a potential presidential candidate in 2013 when he gave the official Republican response to President Obama’s State of the Union address. He was also a member of the Senate “gang of eight” which crafted immigration reform legislation in 2013. The legislation provided a pathway to

citizenship for a group of illegal immigrants. It passed the Senate, but Rubio later shifted his position on the legislation, which he helped write. “I think he sort of got the memo that being opposed to immigration reform is a better strategy for most Republican candidates [in the primary],” Shelley said. “At the same time, he’s pretty well positioned to appeal to Hispanics with his ancestral background connected to Cuba.” Rubio joins what will likely become a crowded field of Republican candidates. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., are the only two Republicans to join the race as of now. Clinton is the only Democrat to declare their candidacy so far, but more Democrats and Republicans are expected to join in the coming months.

SEEKING CLARITY Clearer definition needed in animal assistance policy

events and research laboratories, according to this policy. An emotional support animal is to provide comfort that eases someone with a disability, condition or symptom and can be of any species. A service animal that has been individually trained to do specific work or perform a specific task for an individual with a disability can only be dogs or miniature horses. Animals are restricted to one per resident and one assistance animal per housing unit. “Basically in the policy it says assistance animals are allowed to be in housing units. Do you define a housing unit as that one dorm? That one building? That one floor? If you look at Freddy Court, is it defined as that one apartment or the floor of that building?” said Amy HarrisTehan, president of the Professional and Scientific Council. Animals are not permitted to enter university buildings unless they are “specially trained for and under the control of an individual with disabilities, used for teaching and research purposes or receiving treatment at the Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center or other approved facility,” according to the animals on campus policy. The Professional and Scientific Council — which represents different levels of about 2,800 professional and scientific employees on campus — worked with the Policy Library Advisory

By Berenice.Liborio @iowastatedaily.com The ISU Professional and Scientific Council is looking for university feedback to help properly define Iowa State’s current assistance animal policy. The council’s confirmation for the assistance animal policy draft took place at the April 1 meeting and included a recommendation for defining the term “housing unit” used in the draft policy. The council is looking for feedback on the policy until April 21. Feedback can be sent to policy@iastate. edu. Assistance animals refer to any animal providing accommodations to an individual with a disability. An assistance animal may be a service animal or an emotional support animal. Service animals and emotional support animals are not considered pets, according to the policy. Service animals are allowed anywhere the individual needing the animal goes. Emotional support animals are restricted to residential areas and are not otherwise permitted inside other university buildings such as: classrooms, dining facilities, recreational buildings, employment areas, libraries, sporting

Committee on the policy draft. The Policy Library Advisory Committee is a group of individuals across many different faculty, university council, the provost, student affairs and more, Tehan said. The standpoint for the Professional and Scientific Council is that the assistance animal policy does affect the professional and scientific employees. The policy committee helped get the endorsement the Professional and Scientific Council needed. Kris Koerner, Policies and Procedures Committee chair for the Professional and Scientific Council, said many people across campus are affected by this policy. She said they wanted

to get the Professional and Scientific Council’s endorsement and they went through the whole plan. Koerner said it wasn’t the policy committee’s responsibility to write the policy. The role now is to ask the Professional and Scientific Council for clarification and inform the council that it should go back and redefine the term “housing unit.” “We just said, ‘please clarify what housing unit means,’” Koerner said. “The reason we came up with that is the whole committee didn’t really understand what that meant.” There was no discussion or objections about the policy within the council during the April 1 meeting. Tehan said she thinks it’s going to be smooth

sailing for the assistance animal policy. “Assistance animals are important to a lot of different people and I’m actually kind of surprised that we didn’t have something like this before,” Tehan said. “I kind of assumed that we always had.” When someone looks to suggest an item of interest, he or she can bring the matter to the policy committee. The process starts with the policy committee with a policy development plan that gets put into place and outlines the policy and those involved with the policy. “It’s a policy that ‘yes it can benefit people’ but it’s more about the university having something in place that helps what people are already requesting,” Ko-

erner said. Students who need an assistance animal must go through Student Disabilities Resources and get medical documentation to prove they need to have support from an emotional or assistance animal. The application process for a student would be different from a staff member or faculty member. “[The] university administration will then have something in place, a process in place, a rule behind in case something happens. There wasn’t anything, so how can you allow something if you don’t have a guideline behind it?” Koerner said. “This is just going to allow the university to have some support and something to refer to as the need comes up.”

Start an official club on campus Margaret Sloss Women’s Center fills vacancy at director position

By Claire.Norton @iowastatedaily.com

It’s no secret that Iowa State has plenty of clubs and organizations to accommodate almost any and every interest. With more than 800 to choose from, students at Iowa State can explore different interests and hobbies as well as practice all kinds of skills and leadership opportunities. However, Iowa State could not offer so many different clubs without an innovative and driven student to start each one. The Student Activities Center, located in the Memorial Union, as well as its website, walks applicants through each step of obtaining recognition as a new student organization. According to the website, a couple of things are essential to starting a club or organization — a president, treasurer, a filed and approved constitution, five club/organization members, as well as an agreement form with supporting signatures, on file. The online Student Activities Center site, sac. iastate.edu, provides resources to help make each club and organization a success. Links provide access to tools such as Iowa State business cards, ClubFest sign-ups, constitution guidelines and fundraising options are all accessible

via the SAC’s Resources for Organizations webpage. “My recommendation is to know what tier your club is in,” said Brendan Favo, president of the Rube Goldberg Club. “We wanted to use Cy in our club logo. However, because we were a tier-three club, we weren’t able to.” The three tiers of Student Organizations are: sponsored, affiliated and registered. Each tier has its limitations and restrictions, as well as benefits and allowances. Campus organizations are not broken into tiers and are so mostly because of the volunteering, scholarship and educational factors affiliated. The process of becoming an official club generally takes about a month, depending on how well prepared its founders are. “[The Rube Goldberg Club] registered the second

week of school,” Favo said. “We had already wrote the constitution and gotten the signatures before we left for Summer Break.” The goal of every club is to gain more people and more interest. For each club recognized as an official student organization, they are able to offer more because of certain allocations from the Student Activities Center. Alexis Nicholson, president of Cardinal and Gold Advertising Agency, said this club had been around for quite some time at the Greenlee School of Journalism and Mass Communication, but was not officially recognized by Iowa State until this year. “I hoped that by having the organization recognized, more students would be aware of our club and what we do,” Nicholson said.

After being vacant for nearly two years, the director position at the Margaret Sloss Women’s Center has been filled by Lorraine Acker. Acker has been a resident of Ames for four years. Acker is currently a doctoral student at Iowa State in the School of Education, with her research focusing on the experiences of women of color. Acker also holds assistantships in the Graduate College and Multicultural Student Affairs on campus. Acker expects to finish her dissertation in 2016. Prior to her doctorate work at Iowa State, Acker earned a Bachelor of Science in African and Afro-American studies and political science from the State University of New York College at Brockport and a Master of Science in College Student Personnel from Western Illinois University. In the past, she served as adjunct faculty in Women and Gender Studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and as assistant dean of students for Minority Student Support Services

and Women’s Programs. She has more than 12 years of experience working in higher education. Som Mongtin served as interim director for the two years the director position was vacant. Now that the position has been filled, she will return to her previous role as assistant director. Mongtin said she looks forward to once again having a full staff at the Sloss House. Looking back on her time as interim director, Mongtin said she hopes she helped make the programs at the Sloss House more inclusive. One such initiative is starting The Gender Monologues, which was new this year. While The Vagina Monologues focus on the stories of women, the Gender Monologues opened up an opportunity to people who do not identify as cisgender women to share their stories as they relate to gender. “That’s the impact that I hope that I’ve made … that the campus understands that the Women’s Center isn’t just [about] women’s issues. It is a social justice issue that affects all identities,” Mongtin said. The Dean of Students Office was primarily involved with the search for

a new director, but the Sloss House staff was able to meet the candidates while the hiring process was underway. Mongtin said Acker’s ability to connect with students, her strong vision for the Women’s Center and her ability to collaborate with administrators sets her apart. “I’ve seen her relationship with students and she’s very approachable,” Mongtin said. “She understands the way students may think, and what would help them grow at Iowa State.” The Sloss House is most well-known for work centering on The Vagina Monologues and powerbased violence such as sexual assault, domestic violence and stalking. In the future, Mongtin said she hopes to see the student body recognize the lesser-known efforts of the Women’s Center, such as their events for International Women’s Day and Equal Pay Day. Mongtin encourages the student body to stop by the Sloss House to say hello to Acker and welcome her to the Women’s Center community. Acker will assume the position of director on May 1. She was not available for comment at the time of publishing.

Stricter road laws needed for teens

Columnist Glawe believes there are too many occurrences of people unwilling to create original literature, poetry and music. Glawe hopes at the end of the struggle for originality, he along with others will become more “truly” and “strange.”

In the footsteps of great writers

Accepting outside influence does not forfeit a chance at originality By Michael.Glawe @iowastatedaily.com

uring the five-year voyage of my undergraduate years, I was tossed about by foreign ideas and uncomfortable conversations. Nonetheless, in the waning weeks, the indelible words of immortal minds have left me so stricken, I find myself on distant lands, wholly peculiar from where I set sail. Here at the precipice of adulthood, lacking any real identity, one may find himself, as poet Wallace Stevens put it, “more truly and more strange.” A great host of writers and thinkers have affected me in such profound ways and it would be strenuous to catalogue them all, at the danger of being remiss. The reader may find this sentiment familiar: everybody has his or her stock of champions — many, unfortunately, find solace in such unnecessary piffle as Ayn Rand. Mine are wholly literary, as Percy Shelley put it, “the unacknowledged legislators,” and if one were to compose a list it would have to include both Shelleys, Emile Zola, George Orwell, Wallace Stevens, Friedrich Nietzsche and Vladimir Nabokov. My greatest influences are Harold Bloom and Christopher Hitchens. I owe so much of myself to those titans of the mind. How ironic it is that I write of my forebears, continually sapping away at their wisdom, when the greatest among them, Harold Bloom, is himself, as he once said of Nietzsche, “the prophet of anxiety.” Harold Bloom’s contribution to literary criticism is his theory of anxiety: that the poet’s creative processes are stymied by the influ-

ence of a precursor poet. The poet attempts to break away from the precursor out of the anxiety that originality is no longer attainable — that the precursor has already said everything needed to be said. The most obvious would be John Milton’s attempt to escape Shakespeare’s sphere of influence. But as Bloom argues, no one can escape Shakespeare. Shakespeare created the human, and if you’ve read Hamlet or experienced Falstaff, you would know precisely what Bloom means by this argument. All of what I know of literature can be attributed to Bloom and all inwardness that exists in literature is, necessarily, attributed to Shakespeare. The German poet and literary critic Heinrich Heine once said, “There is a God and His name is Aristophanes,” and Bloom revised this statement by stating, “There is no god but God, and his name is Shakespeare.” I am inclined to say that Bloom is my god, but he would disagree, as would I. Bloom represents the common reader as much as Shakespeare wrote for the human, not the wealthy highbrow snobs. Our precursors, the people who most influence us, are inescapable. They dwell in our minds, they haunt us and they are the cause of great anxiety. Harold Bloom and Christopher Hitchens are, admittedly, my precursors. Perhaps artists, a term acting as an umbrella under which reside musicians, poets, writers and so on, understand this better than anyone else. It seems to be the case that originality, the fight to usurp a precursor, has driven us to madness. I constantly see articles, novels, music and paintings written and composed with a sort

of windiness or blandness. This obsession with originality is so filled with frivolity and so skewed by expedience that it is ultimately meaningless. I once wrote that, “throughout our writing career, we silently and desperately tear at the umbilical cord connecting us to Shakespeare or Cervantes or Melville. By reconciling with our forebears, perhaps we may endure the struggle.” Great art comes from an acceptance of our influences. Why has it become the case that allusion is akin to plagiarism? Astounding works of art embrace the inherent anxiety and oftentimes the end product is composed, as Bloom puts it, out of a “misreading” of the precursor. An allusion, therefore, is an ode. This acceptance of our precursors leads us back to where we started. Presumably all of us begin our journey toward artistic greatness with the idea that we will immortalize ourselves, as so many before us have been immortalized. Accepting our influences and fighting to escape them leads us to transcendence over our peers. We too often see people roll over and die, unwilling to attempt usurpation of their predecessor because of the sheer difficulty, and we often see people driven to madness to attain immortality. I’d love to say I am original, but that will never be the case. Not many of us are. But anxiety drives us toward conquering our influences and ultimately producing originality. A Promethean hero resides within each of us, attempting to steal the fire back from the gods Shakespeare and Mozart. Perhaps at the end of that great struggle, I too will find myself more truly and more strange.

Letter to the editor

Eligibility requirements bill needs changed By Ashton Rose Archer, graduate research assistant in mechanical engineering I am writing this letter to voice my opposition to a bill that was introduced to the GSB on Wednesday, “Senate Bill Adding Minimum Requirement of Senators.” This bill would lay down eligibility requirements based on credit hours in order to be elected to GSB. While I’m sure the authors’ intent was focused on freshmen, it clearly misses the mark. The bill stipulates that students must complete 12 credit hours to be eligible to be elected. This is a ridiculous requirement. The authors are clearly unaware that graduate students don’t take more than nine credit hours a semester. This would make nearly all graduate

students ineligible even after one year of attending Iowa State. Does fewer credit hours make someone less qualified to be a student senator? No, it doesn’t. Why does GSB want to limit who is involved? It seems they already have enough trouble filling all the open positions judging by how many open seats there are. I find it appalling that the undergraduates are so forgetful of graduate students who are so important to campus life. After I read this bill, I thought, wow, someone got elected that the authors didn’t like. How petty. And to those authors who want to backtrack and say they “just put their name on the bill,” shame on you for putting your name on a bill without reading or evaluating the consequences. You aren’t being good stewards of the students.

I am a first year graduate student. I did my undergraduate studies at Kansas State University where I served in the Student Governing Association (SGA) — the equivalent of GSB. I was an intern for one year — required to attend meetings, vote on issues in my committee, but not eligible to vote in regular senate meetings. After that first year, I was elected multiple times to represent the College of Engineering as a student senator where I served from 20092012. I assure you, I have the credentials and experience, far more than some of the undergraduates to be a student senator, but GSB would like to keep me out based on the number of credit hours I’ve attained. I understand the concern of freshmen students being elected that may be inexperienced, but

denying participation to a group of people is not what the democratic process is about. College is a learning experience, and so is involvement in the legislative process. Even after serving as an intern for one year prior to being elected, I didn’t know everything about my university or parliamentary procedure, but I learned it on the go with the help of mentors and advisers within the student government. My connection to my fellow students and my willingness to communicate with them and voice concerns is what made me a good student senator. If you are as concerned as I am about this bill moving forward, I suggest contacting the authors — Adam Guenther, Michael Snook, David Moore III — or your GSB representative. I encourage you to voice your opposition to this bill.

It won’t come as a surprise to anyone when we say distracted driving is a bad thing. It’s a pretty welcoming statement — one we can assume everyone agrees with. Then why do we allow it to happen? In a recent study, Dan McGehee and Cher Carney, both of the Transportation and Vehicle Safety Research Program at the University of Iowa’s Public Policy Center, shared with Iowa Public Radio that parents can opt out of the Iowa law that restricts teen drivers from having passengers in their vehicles. A total of 90 percent of parents do opt out of the law, making it useless and ineffective. In 2012-2013, 43 teen drivers were killed on Iowa roads, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Anne McCartt, senior vice president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, said on IPR that Iowa could reduce its teen crashes by more than half by adopting stricter teen driving laws. A study done by the Transportation and Vehicle Safety Research Program showed that of 1,700 teen crashes, nearly 60 percent can be caused by distracted driving. To put in simpler terms, teens have a higher chance of crashing if they’re driving their friends to the mall than if they’re texting and driving. Iowa recently put a bill through the House of Representatives making texting and driving a primary offense. That means, an officer can now pull over drivers if they see them using a cellular device in the vehicle — not just texting, but any use other than a hands-free device. And while Iowa lawmakers have cracked down on distracted driving by the use of technology in a vehicle, it’s now time to focus in on and work toward protecting the younger drivers in Iowa. One option McCartt mentioned in her interview with Iowa Public Radio was implementing a restriction of zero to one passengers in a car for a teen driver. McCartt said this could reduce teen crashes up to 21 percent. This board agrees with the options McCartt discusses. The argument that neighbors need to ride into school to conserve gas, time and other resources does not outweigh a teen’s life. At what point did convenience become more important than ensuring the safety of a driver? These studies showed that distracted driving was the leading cause in teen crashes in Iowa. And while it was a monumental move in the right direction to work on banning the use of cellular devices in vehicles, we now need to focus on future drivers of the road and ensuring their safety.

Meyer EARNS second title

NCBA National Tournament Results Qualifying • 139: Josue Avila, 2-1 decision vs. Marquis Craig (Penn State) • 175: Christian Bledsoe (Army), 2-1 decision vs. Luke Hahn Semifinals • 119: Denara Talley (UNLV), 2-1 decision vs. Carolina Covington • 139: JJ Mariano (Nevada), 2-1 decision vs. Josue Avila • 156: Anders Freiberg (Army), 3-0 decision vs. Daniel Megael Finals • 147: Olivia Meyer, 3-0 decision vs. Sam Glaeser (Navy)

Three others claim All-American honors at nationals in Florida By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com The ISU Boxing Club’s trip to the National Collegiate Boxing Association’s national tournament in Sunrise, Fla. started off as a bit of a nightmare, with plane delays pushing the team’s arrival time just hours before weigh-in on the first day of quarterfinal action. On little sleep and a stressful start, the boxing club still made it a memorable trip as four boxers claimed All-American honors and Olivia Meyer claimed her second consecutive national title in the 147-pound weight class. Behind Meyer’s backto-back championship run,

fellow woman boxer Carolina Covington and men’s boxers Josue Avila and Daniel Megel each finished third in their weight classes to claim All-America honors for the club. “Things went pretty well,” said coach Jon Swanson. “I think a few things could have gone a little better, but there’s nothing to be upset about.” Especially for Meyer. In two years of boxing, Meyer has blown the competition out of the water, winning the first women’s boxing championship in ISU club history in 2014 before doing it again this year. But the road wasn’t easy. “This year was a tough year for her,” Swanson said. “We thought she broke her

hand after last season, so she couldn’t train all summer. ... We had to get back to fundamentals and get back to who we were and stick to the game plan, and she did that.” After defeating Sam Glaeser of the US Naval Academy by a 3-0 decision at the regional tournament in Ames to qualify for nationals, Meyer entered as one of three women in her weight class. Swanson said

some women chose not to enter in that class, dropping weight to avoid the tough competition that fighters like Glaeser and Meyer present. So after being an automatic selection into the finals fight with so few in her class, she awaited the result of the other fight. Her opponent would be none other than Glaeser — a rematch of the regional title fight. “That Navy girl game

out with fire in her eyes. She wanted that belt and she wanted Olivia,” Swanson said. “We changed our strategy up and kind of neutralized it and came out on top.” Meyer’s 3-0 decision to take home her second belt was the cherry on top of an undefeated season. But it wasn’t the only impressive performance at nationals. Avila also had a nice run, defeating Marquis

Craig of Penn State in a 2-1 decision before falling in the semifinals to the eventual champion, JJ Mariano of Nevada-Reno. “A lot of people thought Josue won his fight against the guy from Reno,” Swanson said. “That guy went on to win the tournament at 139, so we felt like we had a good shot of winning that belt but it didn’t go our way.” The third place finish marks Avila’s third consecutive All-American season as he readies for his senior season next year. Swanson said Megel’s fight was also a close one despite the 3-0 decision and Covington’s first and final appearance at nationals ended in another close 2-1 decision. But with Covington, the lone senior on the squad, and a good chunk of experience returning mixed with a few incoming freshmen, the boxing club hopes to continue its growing presence in the NCBA.

ISU softball team seeks to uncover next star By Garrett.Kroeger @iowastatedaily.com In a world where everyone knows when a top football or basketball recruit commits to Iowa State, it is often questioned how other ISU teams such as the softball team secure a commitment. Glancing at the ISU softball roster, it is sprinkled with talent from California, Texas, Florida, Minnesota and Iowa. So how do the ISU coaches find the talented players who now don an ISU uniform? To begin, there are two contact periods allowed by the NCAA for softball. One of the periods occurs from Aug. 1 to Nov. 26, and the other occurs from Jan. 2 to July 31. During these contact periods, coaches can invite prospects for unofficial or official visits, send the athletes emails, texts and letters, and attend prospect tournaments or high school games. There are also four

“dead” periods that occur — Nov. 10 to 13, Dec. 3 to 7, April 13 to 16 and May 26 to June 3. During these periods, recruits are not able to visit with coaches face-to-face. However, they can visit campuses as well as receive emails, letters and calls from coaches. The budget for softball recruiting is not as significant as it is for football or basketball. Since the budget is smaller, ISU softball coaches tend to use most of it during a specific, truncated time period. “We start to look at and evaluate prospects during the summer,” said ISU coach Stacy GemeinhardtCesler. Coaches attend either high school playoff games during the summer or tournaments across the country nearly every weekend. Typically, the coaches go to certain national softball prospect tournaments, such as the Premier Girls Fastpitch tournaments, which often take place in

Illinois or Minnesota. The Cyclones found one of their top prospects, starting freshman outfielder Kelsey McFarland, in last year’s class at one of the national tournaments. McFarland, who played for the Minnesota Stars ‘95 club team, was recruited when she was a sophomore in high school.

your comments welcome!

“A former Iowa State assistant saw me play at one of the tournaments with my club team,” McFarland said. “They recruited me pretty heavily, and I just fell in love with staff and the school.” Iowa State does not only find its next stars at prospect tournaments and high school games. The

program also builds pipelines — a recruiting term for relationships — with certain high schools and club teams. An example of Iowa State building a pipeline exists in the recruitment of starting freshman thirdbaseman Nychole Antillon. Antillon played for the Corona Angels.

ISU coaches knew Antillon’s club coach because they recruited sophomore catcher Rachel Hartman, who played for the same squad. During Antillon’s recruitment, Hartman committed to Iowa State during her junior year in high school — before her official visit. “I committed without coming here first,” Antillon said. “The reason I did was because of the confidence the coaches had in me. They told me if I did not come here, I would still have a great career elsewhere and that just stuck with me.” Building pipelines substantially helps further Iowa State’s recruiting chances considering the budgetary concerns and is an essential part of the recruiting process. As of this moment, Iowa State’s 2015 and 2016 classes are both locked up and the coaches are now focused on finding the next Lexi Slater or Brittany Gomez with the 2017 class.

U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights OCR representatives will be at Iowa State April 20–22 as part of their review of Iowa State’s handling of a sexual assault case. The OCR also provides time for students, faculty, or staff members to comment on sexual misconduct or other elements of Title IX. To schedule a 15-minute meeting with an OCR representative, contact Sharon Zenor between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at 294–3577. Meeting times are available Tuesday afternoon, April 21, and Wednesday afternoon, April 22, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

ISU clubs race for a cure The Dairy Science Club along with the Block and Bridle Club will be host the second annual “Moovin’ for a Cure 5K” race. Listed below is information regarding the event. • What: Moovin’ for a Cure 5K • When: 10 a.m. Saturday • Where: Ada Hayden Heritage Park • Cost: $10 prior to race day or $15 on race day

By Jack.McDonald @iowastatedaily.com

After a successful “Moovin’ for a Cure 5K” last year, the ISU Dairy Science Club has decided to bring back the event for its second annual race. The race will kick off at 10 a.m. Saturday. The course will be set up at Ada Hayden Heritage Park. The event was started when the club learned that a member’s family was affected by diabetes and the family happened to enjoy running. “We decided to combine the two and it ended up creating a great cause,” said Brittany Menke, senior in dairy science and co-chair of the race. Last year’s event was organized solely by the Dairy Club, but this year the club has decided to bring the ISU Block and Bridle Club on board. The two clubs are branches of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. “This event is a great way to give back to the community and it is a great way to bond with fellow club members,” said Rachel

Demmer, sophomore in pre-business and public relations chair of the club. The Block and Bridle Club also promotes the animal science industry to people who are interested in animal agriculture. Members of this club are constantly surrounded by livestock and cattle. “Joining forces with the Dairy Club is a great way to promote our industry, so we figured we should join forces with them,” said Neil Vezeau, senior in animal science and member of Block and Bridle. Race organizers expect about 50 to 75 participants to come out to the activities,

winner from each division, 35 years old or younger and 35 years and older, will receive a cowbell as their prize. All participants will receive a T-shirt. “It’s a fun run,” Demmer said. “Everyone should come out and get a good workout in.”

Theme comes to life at The Fashion Show By Mariah.Wellman @iowastatedaily.com Two parts of a fashion show, “The Calm” and “The Storm”. So different, yet cohesively brought together by the pieces included, made for an unprecedented evening at Stephens Auditorium. The 33rd annual ISU Fashion Show took place at 7 p.m. Saturday. As the curtain rose, anticipation whispered across the packed auditorium, quietly waiting for the first garment to grace the stage. White noise, reminiscent of a calm, spring day brought the audience close to nature. One model, stoic in the middle of the stage surrounded by white curtains and tent-like trumpets of gathered fabric hanging from the ceiling, waited patiently as music started to play. The lights went up and the first model strutted down the runway in Burden Child, a cream romper with long bell sleeves, flowing almost to the ground. The model and the background were seamless, like two puzzle pieces fitting together, to start the show on a high note. The six garments to follow had something in common: fabric in neutral, simple hues. Each garment somehow remained soft, even when lit by the harsh stage lighting. Models, donning blue eye shadow and slicked-back low ponytails, floated on air. The goddess-like trend was evident throughout “The Calm.” Lauryn Stromberg, senior in apparel, merchandising and design, created LJD and submitted the entry as her senior line. The icy blue, cream and grey collection was fit for Medusa, with its gathered fabrics, fitting the models in all the right places. Stromberg entered three other garments into the show, all in neutral tones, with three in “The Calm” and one in “The Storm.” Closing out the first half and completing the goddess trend for the evening was “Ezradella,” a neutral line of six garments by Erin Tepper. Tepper, senior in apparel, merchandising and design, chose a beige and brown color palette for her collection. The line was complete, something one might see in Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. A leotard with flowing skirt, a mini dress, pants

and tops and a jumpsuit with a deep neckline combined sophistication with a flirty edge. Evident in both halves of the show was structured menswear, closely resembling a futuristic uniform. Entries by Colin Behr, last year’s recipient of the Ruth Glock Internship Scholarship, showed his training learned from working alongside Todd Snyder during the summer of 2014. Behr, senior in industrial design, submitted Fas, Tech Rain Jacket and Akimbo Windbreaker. All of Behr’s pieces combined the best of menswear into one package. A collection of men’s shirts walked the runway. The grey button-ups, complete with plaid and pops of orange, gave an interesting touch to a technically sound collection. Some senior lines and individual entries paid homage to lines seen on the national stage this past spring. From national chains like J.Crew to highend pieces by well-known designers, students took inspiration from past runway shows and implanted them into their garments. Baroque Sophistication, a collection by Alexandra Weimar, junior in apparel, merchandising and design, could have been seen walking in the fall/winter show by J.Crew. The dark sweatshirt dress with large decorative jewels and overall color palette of Weimar’s collection would transition smoothly to the everyday garments seen in stores across the nation. Also in the spotlight the past few years has been the eccentric lines of Moschino, creating clothing inspired by McDonald’s and Barbie. Self Portrait, a high-low skirt submitted by Linsey Heister, reminded some of the eccentric patterns created by Moschino. Heister, senior in graphic design, created the rough-edged skirt and paired it with a simple black tank, forcing the print to stand out among the stark background. Wearable art has been a category judged in The Fashion Show for years, and this year was no exception. Zipper Dress by Taylor Roberson, Reign Over by Luigi Rausch and Monarch by Ahmad Almansouri all placed in the wearable art category. Rausch, senior in industrial design, created Reign Over, a structured rain jacket made from stiff

materials. The clear and white material covered in patterns gave texture to the otherwise immobile piece. Almansouri, senior in architecture, created the winning wearable art entry, a laser-cut acrylic piece designed on the computer, printed, cut out and molded to model Marissa Engel’s body all while taking the pieces in and out of the oven. Engel, senior in architecture, was chosen by Almansouri at fit night, the event where designers choose their models. Engel said Almansouri chose her because of her cheekbones. “It was haute couture specifically for my body,” Engel said. “All the curves everything fit perfectly. It was comfortable and I think it was amazing.” Engel and Almansouri knew each other previously because they are both architecture majors. Engel

offered to come over to Almansouri’s house and complete the design. “I spent a couple hours at his house two different days and we finished up the garment specifically to fit me,” Engel said. “He designed it three different times. It fit great and I’m so happy for him.” Engel walked out to “Enter Sandman” by Metallica at the beginning of “The Storm.” Surrounded by hanging chairs, couches and bikes, Engel’s entrance was unprecedented and the perfect start to a whirlwind second half. “It was so much fun,” Engel said of her experience on the runway. “[The producers] came to me and they were like ‘hey, Marissa, we have music for you. It’s going be amazing [and] you’re going to kill it.’ It was just a rush. It was good to see [the audience’s] reaction.”

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP ADVICE: DISTANCE CAN COMPLICATE THINGS By Emily.Barske @iowastatedaily.com Whether a relationship is formed from a distance or is forced to become long distance, the dynamic is different than seeing each other every day. Some couples have to be apart the majority of the time, while others rarely have to experience distance from each other. Long-distance relationships are prevalent among various age groups. About a third of college relationships are long distance, according

to collegeexplorer.com. As part of 30 Daily Dates, the Daily Daters were required to communicate with each other every day over spring break. Some of the Daily Daters found this type of relationship difficult because of differences in the type of communication and time. Communication techniques and methods used to show a significant other you care about them can be greatly affected by distance. Texting, messaging, social media and apps like Skype fill

JOURNAL ENTRIES: HOW DID YOU COMMUNICATE OVER SPRING BREAK?

Leah: “Since both of us were on vacation, we weren’t able to Facetime, but did stay in contact through texting.” Eric: “Spring break was really hard because she was in the Dominican Republic and I was in Los Angeles. Smoke signals wouldn’t work. I tried some messages in a bottle and tried to get them to go through the ocean currents.”

a communication void that existed in the past. “It’s easier to get to know someone face to face than through texting,” Leah said. Body language and tone are some of the many communication factors that texting cannot provide. “Sometimes I’m really sarcastic or tell dumb jokes that never pan out, and I think face to face you can actually understand those things,” Eric said. Find out how communication over spring break was for Leah and Eric below.

hour time difference.” WHAT DID YOU LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF?

Leah: “It is a lot different to talk over a device rather than face to face.” Eric: “I thought we did a good job at least staying in touch. We talked every day in some shape or form.”

Before the time of e-mail, Internet, Skype and mobile phones, a young lad left Lancashire (NW England) to pursue graduate work across the pond (Michigan, actually). Guest column: While studying Trevor Nelson, abroad, he met a Director of Study Abroad young girl and fell in love. At the end of the academic year, having completed his degree, he returned to England and things got complicated. After six months apart they reunited and got married in England and settled down. However, all was not well. He did not like his job, and she wanted to return to the United States to complete her degree. They decided to go back to the United States. Unfortunately, she needed to return earlier than he was able, and obtaining his visa took months. As a consequence, they spent an additional eight months apart. This is the story of how they managed it. I was living at home (all right, snigger if you will), and my mother did not have a telephone (unbelievable, you’re thinking). There was a public telephone about half a mile away, and I would use this to make the occasional call (it was an expensive option at that time). It was great to hear the voices of my wife and daughter (yes, we had a child). We found the best and most practical means of communication was letter-writing. I would write a minimum of two letters per week, and my wife would write many more. The letters also included drawings, photographs, poems and stamps. The letters really helped us get through this time. When I returned to the States, we had to rediscover each other, and that is also a very interesting part of a long-distance relationship. Technology has made communication far simpler and a good deal more immediate. This is good, but not without issues. Things to consider: Be honest with each other and try to express how you really feel; use the Internet, but don’t just rely on Skype or the phone; if you are studying or traveling abroad, writing to each other can be an excellent way to preserve those memories that might form the basis of a journal or memoir. My wife kept those letters until we got divorced (not all stories have predictable outcomes). However, try not to gush and make the loved one at home feel envious; share the good and the bad. Be honest with your expectations; is this an exclusive relationship? When you return, don’t expect things to be the same as when you left. The traveler will have changed, perhaps significantly, while the other perhaps has not. You’ll need time to get to know each other again. Finally, don’t feel bad if the relationship comes to an end. Relationships do not come with a lifetime guarantee.

HOW DID THIS DIFFERENT TYPE OF COMMUNICATION WORK?

Leah: “It was difficult to stay in touch because our time zones were three hours apart.” Eric: “It’s hard to communicate when you have almost a four- or five-

MARINES p1 program. Staff Sgt. Christopher Harrison, assistant marine officer instructor, said he saw Vander Boon have a “seeing the light moment.” “I could not be more thankful,” she said. “I couldn’t imagine myself in another position. This is where I want to be and where I’m meant to be. I’m positive.” At first, Capt. Peter Opalacz, marine officer instructor, said he was skeptical about if she could become an officer. “I saw her flip a switch fall 2013 semester,” he said. “She really turned it up a notch and impressed me.” He spent that year preparing her for Officer Candidate School, a culminating event after junior year that marine options must pass to be commissioned. He said he saw her make strides in her fitness, leadership and academics. In the OCS physical fitness test last summer, Vander Boon did 23 pullups. To max out this portion of the test with a score of 100, females must do three and males must do 20. “She’s a PT stud,” Harrison said. Vander Boon said being able to hold her own in PT builds credibility and allows her to lead by example. “Sometimes you feel like you have to compensate for being a female, which is really unfortunate,” Vander Boon said. She said it is frustrating when people credit her successes more because she is female and wants to foster an environment of equal standards. “I want to be looked at in the same way as everyone else,” she said. “And that’s as a Marine.” NROTC leadership assigned her to be the battalion commander two weeks

Leah Vander Boon said her first semester of military training was so difficult she almost quit. However, she stuck with it, changed her attitude and is now in line to be a Marine Corps officer.

into last semester. She and her staff of four other midshipmen focused on increasing unit morale. She did this by being forceful, considerate and caring, Polk said. “She took the leadership role in a time of crisis [in the battalion],” Polk said. “And I feel like she turned it around.” Her next step is officer training at The Basic School this summer, where she will find out what her job in the corps will be. “When she is in a leadership position, people are going to respond to her because they respect the woman that she is,” Opalacz said. Their past, her future: women in the Marines

The Marine Corps had 305 women serve in World War I, but all of their service was discontinued by 1919, according to the Department of Defense. In February 1943, the Marine Corps Women’s Reserve was established, making this the 72nd continuous year of females in the Marines. Vander Boon said she is proud of the advancements women have made in the military, especially the Marine Corps. “It’s hard for women because of the male-dominated atmosphere,” Vander Boon said. “It’s kind of intimidating at first to step in and be like, ‘hey, I’m different but I’m going to do this.” There is a lot of “guy

she puts her mind to.” Vander Boon earned the Chief of Naval Operations Distinguished Midshipman Graduate Award, the Captain Jake Dobberke Leadership Award and Marine Option 2015 Iowa State University NROTC Distinguished Graduate Awards at the NROTC Dining Out and Awards ceremony Saturday.

bility that their talents and capabilities warrant,” according to the report. Though women do not serve directly in combat roles, Harrison said there is always a chance they could come under fire. Women do not serve in the infantry, special operations forces and various other positions for physical and privacy specifications laid out by the DOD. The fact that she is a female doesn’t make a difference, Opalacz said. “She’s not joining the military because she has something to prove,” he said. “She’s joining because she wants to be a Marine Corps officer and she is very good at it.” He said she has the values and motivations to do the job. “She’s just a really good person down to heart,” he said. “I think she’s going to be successful at whatever

talk,” and documents are often worded for men, she said. “It’s just things you have to get used to and not take personally,” she said. “I think the military in general is doing a really good job of their integration and trying to change that culture. But right now, it is kind of hard.” Of the total active officer, warrant and enlisted personnel positions in the Marine Corps, 68 percent are open to women, according to a 2012 DOD report that reviewed restrictions for female members of the armed forces. Women filled 7 percent of the nearly 170,000 active component positions in the Marine Corps at the time of the report. “The Department of Defense is committed to removing all barriers that would prevent service members from rising to the highest level of responsi-
