She has been invited to the White House, heavily involved with the National Center for Women and Information Technology and was recently elected as president of the ISU computer science club. However, this summer, Cassidy Williams will be able to add even more to her resume after her upcoming graduation. On June 12, Williams, a senior in computer science, will join 100 of the most forward thinkers in the United States on a British Airways flight. On the flight they will develop a product to present at the Decide Now Act Summit in London. “It sounds like we’re going to be
developing a product, a solution, an idea: some sort of thing for some sort of social change,” Williams said. Williams found out about her inclusion on April 22. Although some details of the flight are still vague, the summit will aim for social change by combining “the most innovative minds from business, entertainment, science, technology, sport and philanthropy,” according to the summit’s website. The formula for the summit is conversation + collaboration = change. “We’re just going to try to

Bill Cosby will come to ISU in October CY Stephens has announced their line up for next year’s performances. The season begins 7:30 p.m. on October 18 with a performance given by comedian Bill Cosby. Cosby is known for his starring role in “The Cosby Show,” which aired for eight seasons from 1984 to 1992. He has multiple Grammy, Emmy, and People’s Choice awards for comedy appearances throughout his life. According to Cosby’s website, “his role on TV’s I Spy made him the first African American to costar in a dramatic series, breaking television’s racial barrier.” He has starred in the movie “Uptown Saturday Night” and has written best-selling books like “Fatherhood” and “I Didn’t Ask to be Born (But I’m glad I was).” Tickets for CY Stephens’ shows went on sale for renewing and new donors and subscribers Wednesday. Public tickets go on sale September 9. Tickets can be bought at the Iowa State Center Ticket Office. The office is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. through 4 p.m.
Senior awarded Fulbright grant Kelsie Miller to teach English in Indonesia By Hayley.Lindly @iowastatedaily.com Kelsie Miller, a senior in kinesiology and health, will be teaching English in Indonesia after being awarded a Fulbright grant in teaching assistantship. According to the Fulbright website, “the Fulbright U.S. Student Program is the largest U.S. exchange program offering opportunities for students and young professionals to undertake international graduate study, advanced research, university
teaching and primary and secondary school teaching worldwide. The program currently awards approximately 1,800 grants annually in all fields of study and operates in more than 155 countries worldwide.” Miller’s decision to apply for the scholarship came last summer. “Since I am a pre-physical therapy option, this summer was the time to start applying for grad school,” Miller said. “Instead of applying to grad school, I decided to do something else. I had been abroad before. So, I know that I kind of wanted to go abroad again and do something like that.” Miller went to the Study

And I’m just glad that she decided to come to Iowa State,” said Gloria Cain, Williams’ current adviser. Along with her other activities, Williams spends time advocating for more women to go into science, technology, engineering and math fields. “She has always been pushing for getting more females, more women, involved in information technology,” Cain said.

She then decided that applying for a Fulbright grant was the right decision for her. “The process is rigorous and requires students to complete an application, which can be quite difficult,” said Trevor Nelson, director of the Study Abroad Center and chairman of the Fulbright Committee. “Students will also be interviewed by an on-campus screening committee. However, students do get considerable assistance from the Study Abroad Center, and this can really help them through the process.” After a long process of interviews and applications, Miller was chosen to go to Indonesia, which is the location she wanted. Miller was the only student at Iowa State to be awarded the grant. “Indonesia was just somewhere I had never been and somewhere where I didn’t know anything about. It’s a very diverse country,” Miller said. “I just thought I could learn about the different types of cultures and the language — again, just something completely different.” Miller just found out that she will be placed at a school in the Gorontalo prov-

She will be teaching conversational English to high school students. “My primary responsibility while I’m over there is to at least spend 20 hours a week in the classroom as an English teaching assistant,” Miller said. “Then, I should have my own project in the community; they really promote community involvement. So, I’m hoping to do physical
The intentions, or prayers, given at the prayer table are all confidential. The prayer table varies in location; it is either located in the Memorial Union or outside of the library. Anyone is welcome to submit to the prayer box at the table. “It’s a benefit to anyone who stops by. A lot of people want someone who they know cares enough to pray for them,” Ryant said. “We care for everybody; it doesn’t matter who they are. We still care for them. It’s an outreach that shows the Catholic Church really cares for everybody.” On Sundays, the prayer group meets, and they read the prayers out loud and then throw them away so the prayers remain confidential.
time commitments. These include holding positions of webmaster for the Cardinal Key honor society and corporate liaison for Digital Women, a women in computing student organization. In the past, she has interned with General Mills and Microsoft. Her involvement goes hand in hand with one of her goals: Making a lasting impression on Iowa State. “I don’t know how she can do as well as she has in terms of her classes, getting her projects done, being involved in Digital Women, being involved in the computer science club, doing all this and still be as energetic as she is,” Cain said. “She’s just full of energy and open to new ideas.”
activity.” While Miller will have a lot of responsibilities, she feels that this will be a valuable learning experience. “I just enjoy meeting new people and experiencing a new culture,” Miller said. “I’m excited to see how much I will learn from them. I know my job is to teach them English, but I’m just excited to see what they have to offer me. I feel like I’m going to learn and grow just as much as they are.” Miller looks forward to seeing Indonesia and learning about their culture and religion. Most of the country practices Islam. During her last semester, Miller is taking a linguistics course, which she thinks will help to learn the language. After her time in Indonesia, Miller wants to go grad school to study physical therapy. She encourages anyone who is interested in going abroad after graduation to apply for the Fulbright scholarship. “I would definitely recommend this or a similar opportunity,” Miller said. “Don’t be afraid to try something different or have an experience abroad, whether it’s teaching abroad or a doing service learning project. Peruse those alternate activities because you will learn a lot. As far as personality goes, you are going to have to be resourceful and very open-minded. I’m not even guaranteed a western toilet.”
“Sometimes we do different types of prayer, but for these ones in particular, we offer up all the intentions that are set on campus, and then, we read on them and close it with another prayer afterwards,” Ryant said. Sometimes the group will get responses and thanks from those who submit their intentions, Ryant said. “We have had multiple people stop by and talk about why we believe what we believe. Me and my team actually practice with each other telling each other our faith stories,” Ryant said. Ryant said that the group encourages discussion with their peers. “That’s part of the outreach
team as well. At the table, we are supposed to be able to talk to people. We usually say hello and good morning to people as they walk by and encourage discussion if they want to talk,” Ryant said. There are seven people who are a part of the prayer table and the outreach ministry. “I really want to make a difference in people’s lives. You don’t always see it, but just planting those seeds can make all the difference in someone’s life whether you realize it or not,” said Stephen Kesten, senior in accounting. With finals approaching, the Catholic Student Community expects a lot of intentions from students with their finals.

Editorial:
Financial modesty is essential With graduation and a job (hopefully) fast approaching for many students and a summer full of work (again, hopefully) fast approaching for many others, the temptation to go out and splurge on new things, whether they be new TVs, new computers or other gadgets, cars, books, etc., might be high. Many students, we hope, actually deserve such treats. The financial prudence of such purchases, however, is dubious. It is indeed true that college graduates have better financial prospects than their peers with fewer years of education. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of the end of January, workers over the age of 25 who hold at least a bachelor’s degree earn $1,066 per week at median. Furthermore, unemployment for people over the age of 25 who have earned a bachelor’s degree sits, as of March, at 3.8 percent, which is half the nationwide unemployment rate of 7.6 percent. Most recent graduates, however, have a few years before they fall into that higher age cohort, and before they join it, they will have to begin dealing with very high student debt. Iowa residents graduating from Iowa State owe, on average, nearly $29,000, according to an Iowa Board of Regents report. The classic American dream — a well-paying job, a house in Suburbia, two new cars, a couple kids, and nice new things — belongs to a brief period a long time ago in the 1950s and 1960s. That’s not to say that nobody can realize that dream anymore, but the times and circumstances have changed. So many people were able to live so well for a variety of historical reasons. After the Second World War, the United States stood alone at the top of the world. The rest of the industrialized world had been bombed flat by almost six years of war, and the parts of the world that had escaped such harm were undeveloped countries in South America and colonial possessions in Africa and Asia. Great Britain and the Soviet Union had survived largely because the United States bent over backwards to provide them and their militaries with aid to defeat Nazi Germany. After the war, since it did not have to rebuild itself, the United States was one of the only countries that could produce lots of goods and services. Aside from fits and starts in the late 1940s, economic times were good, generally speaking. Benefits to former soldiers enabled more Americans than ever before to pursue higher education and home ownership, which only helped the economy. None of those circumstances exist now. Accordingly, we all have to live within our times, not just within our means. Pursuing a non-viable, unrealistic dream forces us to live on the margins, which is a dangerous place to be. There is no wand we can wave, no magic phrase we can say, to make all our financial woes disappear. Instead of indulging in purchases that aren’t really necessary, for the sake of our fiscal sanity and security we probably should adhere to the Greatest Generation’s Depression-era saying, “Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.”
Gun people don’t trust anti-gun people because anti-gunners always talk about 90 percent of Americans supporting this gun control measure, or 65 percent supporting that one, as if a majority opinion is what truly matters in America. We don’t trust anti-gun people because you think America is a democracy, when it’s actually a constitutional federal republic. The emotional mob does not rule in America.”
GUNS. GUNS. GUNS.
A
long with bombs and bombers, guns seem to be all the media wants to talk about these days. Death is sexy to our miscreant media, especially when people are killed on purpose. And when that happens, it’s all the newspapers and news stations will print and broadcast, in turn making these events appear worse than they are in reality. To understand this, one need only look at the difference in coverage between the Texas fertilizer plant explosion, which killed at least 14 confirmed people and injured 200 more at the time of writing this, versus the coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing, which only killed three and injured a hundred others. Texas was on TV for a day, tops, while we’re still hearing about Boston and will for many weeks to come. Where the media really didn’t care too much about the Texas incident, once a kid was killed at a race, the Boston bombing is now a foil for everything from gun control to immigration in the wake of Sandy Hook, with both sides of the political spectrum using it against the other. But when it comes to something as deadly serious as guns and crime, Americans can’t afford the media hyperbole, misinformation and disinformation.
No experience necessary In the gun debate, I’ve discovered that one cannot be expert enough about guns. Indeed, when it comes to the gun issue, opinion rules. There doesn’t seem to be any opportunity for any genuine, honest debate on guns, and even liberals would agree with that. I’ve often wondered about this. Is it because my side of the debate is actually loony? I don’t think so; at least, I think I’m pretty normal. Sure, we’ve got some oddballs we all wish would go away, just like any group does. But all the pro-gun people I know are normal people too — people so normal that nobody knows they’re gun people until they’re told. In fact, there are so many gun owners that if we are all crazy like some suggest, the daily crime rate in America would look more like our crime rate for the entire decade combined. There’s a hundred million of us, owning a few hundred million guns combined, and we contribute to society peacefully every day. Many of us even

By Barry.Snell @iowastatedaily.com protect society for a living, or used to. I’ve come to realize after the Sandy Hook shooting that the reason we can’t have a rational gun debate is because the anti-gun side pre-supposes that their pro-gun opponents must first accept that guns are bad in order to have a discussion about guns in the first place. Before we even start the conversation, we’re the bad guys and we have to admit it. Without accepting that guns are bad and supplicating themselves to the antigunner, the pro-gunner can’t get a word in edgewise, and is quickly reduced to being called a murderer, or a low, immoral and horrible human being. You might think that’s hyperbole too, but I’ve experienced it personally. And every day I see it on TV or in the newspapers, from Piers Morgan to the Des Moines Register’s own Donald Kaul, who among others have actually said people like me are stupid, crazy or should be killed ourselves. YouTube is full of examples, and any Google search will result in example after example of gun-owning Americans being lampooned, ridiculed and demonized by the media and citizens somewhere. Hell, it’s even gotten so bad that a little kid was expelled from school recently for biting a Pop Tart into the vague shape of a handgun during lunch break (it looked more like Idaho to me). Liberals always make the common plea, “We need to get some experts to solve this problem!” for any public policy issue that comes along, which is a good thing. But when it comes to the gun issue, gun expertise is completely irrelevant to the anti-gunner — people who probably have never fired a gun or even touched one in real life, and whose only experience with guns is what they’ve seen in movies or read about in bastions of (un)balanced, hyper-liberal journalism, like Mother Jones. That a pro-gun person might actually know a lot about their hobby or profession doesn’t stand up against the histrionic cries of Chris Conetzkey The Des Moines Business Record Publication: ISU students subscribe to the Iowa State Daily through activity fees paid to the Government of the Student Body. Subscriptions are 40 cents per copy or $40, annually, for mailed subscriptions to ISU students, faculty and staff; subscriptions are
the anti-gunner. How can we “gun people” honestly be expected to come to the table with anti-gunners when anti-gunners are willfully stupid about guns, and openly hate, despise and ridicule those of us who own them? There must first be respect and trust — even just a little — before there can be even the beginnings of legitimate discussion of the issue.
Death by a thousand cuts Gun people don’t trust anti-gun people because antigunners always talk about 90 percent of Americans supporting this gun control measure, or 65 percent supporting that one, as if a majority opinion is what truly matters in America. We don’t trust anti-gun people because you think America is a democracy, when it’s actually a constitutional federal republic. In the American system, the rights of a single individual are what matters and are what our system is designed to protect. The emotional mob does not rule in America. Gun people don’t trust anti-gun people because they keep saying they “respect the Second Amendment” and go on about how they respect the hunting traditions of America. We don’t trust you because you have to be a complete idiot to think the Second Amendment is about hunting. I wish people weren’t so stupid that I have to say this: The Second Amendment is about checking government tyranny. Period. End of story. The founders probably couldn’t have cared less about hunting since, you know, they just got done with that little tiff with England called the Revolutionary War right before they wrote that “little book” called the Constitution. Gun people don’t trust anti-gun people because they lie to us. President Obama directly says he won’t tamper with guns or the Second Amendment, then turns around and pushes Congress to do just that. We don’t trust anti-gunners because they appoint one of the most lying and rabidly (and moronically) anti-gun people in America, Vice President Biden, to head up a “task force” to “solve” the so-called “gun problem,” who in turn talks with anti-gun special interest groups instead of us to complete his task.

Gun people don’t trust anti-gun people because in a single breath they tell us that the Second Amendment is irrelevant today and should be repealed because semi-automatic weapons didn’t exist when the Bill of Rights was written, then turn around and say the First Amendment protects radio, television, movies, video games, the Internet, domain names, Facebook and Twitter.”
Truth, treason and the empire of lies Gun people don’t trust anti-gun people because suicide is the only human-inflicted leading cause of death in America, and that violent crime has been on the decline for decades. We also know that 10 people die daily in drownings, 87 people die daily by poisoning, more than 20,000 adults die from falls each year, someone dies in a fire every 169 minutes, nearly 31,000 people are killed in car accidents annually and almost 2,000 are stabbed to death. People even kill each other with hammers. Yet fewer than 14,000 people are killed by guns of any kind each year. Gun people don’t trust anti-gun people because not only is the violent crime rate approaching historic lows, but mass shootings are on the decline too. We don’t trust anti-gun people because they fail to recognize that mass shootings happen where guns are already banned — ridiculous “gun-free zones” which attract homicidal maniacs to perpetrate their mass shootings. Gun people don’t trust anti-gun people because school shootings have been happening forever, but despite them being on the decline, the media inflates the issue until the perception is that they’re a bigger problem than they really are. We don’t trust anti-gunners because they’re busy riling up the emotions of the ignorant, who in turn direct their ire upon us, demonizing us because we object to the overreaction and focus on the wrong things, like the mentally ill people committing the crimes. Gun people don’t trust anti-gun people because they look down on us for defending the Second Amendment as vigorously as they defend the First Amendment — a fight we too would stand side-by-side with them on otherwise. We don’t trust anti-gunners because someone defending the
First Amendment is considered a hero, but a someone defending the Second Amendment is figured down with murderers and other lowlifes. Where the First Amendment has its very own day and week, both near-holy national celebrations beyond reproach, antigunners would use the First Amendment to ridicule any equivalent event given for the Second Amendment, like they did for a recent local attempt at the University of Iowa.
A dangerous servant and fearful master Gun people don’t trust anti-gun people because in a single breath they tell us that the Second Amendment is irrelevant today and should be repealed because semiautomatic weapons didn’t exist when the Bill of Rights was written, then turn around and say the First Amendment protects radio, television, movies, video games, the Internet, domain names, Facebook and Twitter. Carrying liberal logic on the Second Amendment through to the First Amendment, it would only cover the town crier, and hand-operated printing presses producing only books and newspapers, and nothing else. Even anything written with a No. 2 pencil or ballpoint pen would not be included. And those of you belonging to religions that formed after the 1790s? You’re screwed under liberal logic, too. Gun people don’t trust anti-gun people because while they were crying about the victims of 9/11 or Aurora or Sandy Hook, and thanking God they weren’t there, I and many other gun people like me were crying because we weren’t there, and asked God why we couldn’t have been. Many of us wish we were on one of the 9/11 airplanes, and not because we have a death wish but because we have a life wish. Because when we sit in silence and the world’s distractions fall away, the thought creeps in: Could I have made a difference? Gun people don’t trust anti-gun people because I and many of us are what they call “sheepdogs” and we’re proud of that. Yet anti-gunners make fun of us, calling us “cowboys” and “wannabes” for it. Wanting to save lives and being willing to sacrifice one’s own to do it used to be considered a virtue in this country. Anti-gunners think they have the moral outrage, but the moral outrage is ours. I have never expressed any of these feelings openly to anyone because they are private and deeply personal. Screw you for demeaning us and motivating me to speak them.
Do unto others No, anti-gunners, we don’t trust you. And you’ve given us no reason to, either. We gun owners obey the law each and every day, same as you. We defend your nation, protect your communities, teach your children, take care of you when you’re sick, defend you when you go to court or prosecute those who do you wrong. We cook and serve your food, haul and deliver your goods, construct your homes, unclog your sewers, make your electricity, and build or fix your cars.
We are everywhere and all around you, and we exist with you peacefully. You are our friends, neighbors and countrymen, and we are these things proudly. We mourn with you when radicals crash airplanes into our buildings, when hurricanes destroy the lives of our people, or when the criminal and mentally ill kill dozens of our school children. We cheer with you when USA wins the gold medal, when terrorists like Bin Laden are brought to justice, or when we land a machine built by American hands on Mars. So what more can we do to earn your trust, your love and your acceptance other than surrender our rights, bow down to you and take your non-stop attacks? Our enjoyment of firearms doesn’t define us; it is but a single value and right we enjoy and cherish, among many other rights and values we enjoy and cherish — including the very same ones anti-gunners do too — like the First Amendment and the rest of the Bill of Rights. Anti-gunners reject our passions, our traditions, our knowledge, our experiences, our beliefs, our wisdom, our rights. Anti-gunners reject our very individuality by reducing us to labels, stereotypes and false or distorted statistics. Screw you for destroying that individuality and denying our humanity. I am proudly one of many: a caring, friendly, loyal and loving human being. I am an educated and intelligent person, and while I may not be the best-looking guy, friends tell me I have a great personality (yay?). Perhaps more importantly though, I am a proud citizen of this country, and I’d perform any sacrifice for others so that they may not themselves have to sacrifice. And unlike most anti-gunners, it seems, I have served my community and nation in various roles throughout the years — roles that, ironically, often entailed guns. Where I was once given a uniform and a gun, and trusted with it to ensure the safety and security of others, I am now a pariah among many of the very people I sacrificed for. I am sadly one of many here, too. What a terrible, hurtful insult and betrayal! An anti-gunner reads a book though, or sees a documentary on TV — or perhaps worst of all, gets a degree — and suddenly they have the almighty authority and expertise to tell us how we ought to live our lives, replying to our objections to their onslaught by throwing pictures of dead kids in our faces and commanding us to shut up, because we’re just a bunch of stupid radicals and liberals alone know what’s best for America. The rift is already beginning. We must mend fences...Now.
Sleeping dragons and terrible resolve I do not want to live through a war in my own backyard. I do not want our children to grow up in such an America, either. So anti-gunners: Please stop, I beg you. See the writing on the wall before it’s too late. Yes, there is a terrible crime problem, and yes, that problem sometimes involves guns — but it is the perpetrator that is the problem, not the instrument. Yes, there is a great divide between liberals and conservatives on the issue of guns. And while I will be the very first person to criticize the Republican Party on its many and frequent mistakes, and even stand with my democratic friends in my disfavor of those things, on the gun issue it is not the conservatives who are mostly in the wrong this time. We want the crime and killings to stop as much as you do, so to my fellow citizens who are anti-gun I say: So long as you deny our humanity, so long as you malign our dignity, intelligence and wisdom, so long as you seek to shade us under a cloud of evil that we do not partake in or support, so long as you tell us that because we own guns we are terrible people, you will prove yourselves absolutely right in that we won’t come to the table to talk with you. And there will be no hope for resolution but through victory by force initiated by one side or the other, God help us, for we will not plow for those who didn’t beat their swords into plowshares.

Softball:
Wednesday’s game against UNI canceled The ISU softball team’s game at Northern Iowa that was scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday has been canceled due to inclement weather and will not be rescheduled. Wednesday’s game was a postponement of the originally scheduled meeting between the two teams that was supposed to take place on April 3 but was canceled because of rain. This time, rare snow in May is the cause of the cancellation. The Cyclones (21-30, 4-11 Big 12) now have just four games remaining in the regular nonconference season: one at Drake next Tuesday and a three-game home series against Kansas from May 10 through May 12. Postseason games have yet to be announced. — Dan Cole

Cyclones hope to impress ISU women prepare for Big 12 competition Friday to Sunday By Isaac.Copley @iowastatedaily.com Betsy Saina has been making big moves in distance running this season, owning the second-fastest time in the world this season in the 5,000-meter run and the 10,000-meter run. Saina, emerging from a win in the 10,000-meter run at the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational, has now achieved the ‘A’ standard in both the 5,000-and 10,000-meter runs. This allows her to compete for Kenya at the World Championships in Moscow if selected by her country. “Last weekend, I was just trying to run as fast as I can, but after winning the race I think I can take that and use it at the Big 12s,” Saina said. “I’m just excited; it’s my last Big 12 Championship meet, so there should be no pressure. Just hope to finish strong and make it happen.” The Cyclone women are ranked No. 16 in the country. Coach Corey Ihmels is happy with Saina’s performance and hopes his team is ready to compete this weekend. “Betsy wanted to run a little faster and take a shot at the collegiate records, but in the end she came out on top of what was a top-flight field and that in and of itself is impressive,” Ihmels said in a news release. “Now we get ready for the Big 12 Championships.” The women’s team has a strong group of throwers including sophomore Christina Hillman, who finished second in the shot put at the Big 12 Indoor Championships and second at the NCAA Indoor Championships. At the Big 12 Indoor Championships in Ames, Hillman was joined in the shot put by fellow throwers Danielle Frere and Hayli Bozarth, who finished sixth and seventh. “Lately, I haven’t been throwing as well as I would like to, but I’m really looking forward to the Big 12s, regionals and the NCAA meet and I hope to make my coaches and teammates proud,” Hillman said. The Big 12 Championships begin Friday and end Sunday.

ISU men’s team to run at biggest meet of season By Ryan.Berg @iowastatedaily.com The ISU men’s track and field team will continue its travels this weekend with the biggest meet to date: the Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championships. “Last year we started having outdoor practice after Spring Break and this year we have only had two practices outside,” said sophomore sprinter Nick Efkamp. “Fortunately we have been able to travel and get down to the warmer areas to run. We haven’t done horrible as a team, so I don’t think it’s a disadvantage.” Efkamp, the winner in the 400-meter dash at the Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Championships, hopes for success outdoors. “It’s definitely a goal of mine and that would be the ideal situation and hopefully everything goes as I plan,” Efkamp said on the possibility of being indoor and outdoor Big 12 Champion in the 400-meter dash. The men’s team got an eighth-place finish at indoor conference meet and will use that as motivation for the outdoor conference meet. “We feel really good; the last two weeks we have been going really well in practice and have improved quite a bit from indoor Big 12s,”

said sophomore thrower Jan Jeuschede. “I have been getting stronger in the weight room and am more ready than I have ever been before heading into the outdoor Big 12s.” Jeuschede placed fourth at the indoor conference meet with a throw of 59-04.00 in shot put. “My short-term goal is to throw over 60 feet and I have gotten close at 59-04.00, but didn’t quite get over. So that is still my goal and I don’t care too much about placements,” Jeuschede said. “If I throw far enough, that will place me pretty well. I’m more concerned about my individual effort and trying to exceed my personal record.” The Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championships begin on Friday and come to a close on Sunday.

Boston Marathon
Club runners share experiences By Trey.Alessio @iowastatedaily.com Ten individuals from the ISU running club and two alumni participated in the Boston Marathon, one of America’s most popular races, on April 15, 2013. “The marathon is to Boston as Veishea is to Ames,” said David Sevcik, senior in management. At approximately 1:50
p.m., two bombs went off near the finish line of the race. This happened about two hours after the winners of the marathon had completed the 26.2 miles. None of the ISU participants were harmed during the tragedy. All of them made it back to their hotel at the 25-mile marker across from Fenway Park, home to the Boston Red Sox. The hotel was about one mile away
from where the bombs went off. Mason Frank, a senior in mathematics, was four to five blocks away on the subway when he heard something that he later found out to be the explosions. “It sounded like a firework,” Frank said. “I just thought it had to do with the Red Sox, because their game was just getting over with.” Ryan Schafbuch, a junior
in veterinary medicine, said he heard the bombs very clearly. He was in a cab when the bombs went off and didn’t really think anything of it until the cab driver became concerned. Schafbuch was able to see the clouds of smoke after the bombs went off. “It was definitely concerning,” Schafbuch said. “My initial reaction was to get back to the hotel to make
sure all of my teammates were okay.” Danny Ducharme, a senior in chemical engineering, was on Boylston Street, where the two bombings occurred, in a taxi when the bombs went off. “I heard the ‘boombooms’ and knew it was an explosion,” Ducharme said. “I was shocked. It sounded like

The hotels encouraged everyone to stay in their rooms and to not leave in big groups. “It was stressful letting everyone know I was OK over the phone or by email,” said Evan Day, senior in kinesiology and health. Day was the second ISU runner to finish, after Sevcik, who came in first for the club. Everyone remembered how surreal the moment was. “[The bombing] was like a bigger reality,” said Melanie Holman, junior in kinesiology and health. “This could happen to anyone and I was a lucky one.” Daniel Sevcik, a senior in kinesiology and health who started the running club, said that last year he would have been running the marathon at the same time that the bomb

went off. “I was in shock,” Daniel said. “Just thrilled that we were out there.” Frank also shared a story of his aunt coming up from Florida to watch him in the marathon. “She had to make a conference call for work at 2 p.m. and the bomb went off around 1:50. She went back to the hotel before it went off,” Frank said. “There are just so many things that could’ve been. It’s just chilling and surreal.” Despite the tragedy of the bombings, most ISU runners agree that Boston was a great experience with the crowds along both sides of the street cheering and celebrating. Most of them also would love to go back to participate in the Boston Marathon. “It was phenomenal overall,” said Joey Sevcik, junior in kinesiology. “The atmosphere was electric and the city was alive and at its best.” David explained that after these tragic events, the Boston Marathon will be something

special in years to come. “After [the bombings], I want to go back. I don’t want to let some guy who’s delusional ruin something special,” David Sevcik said. After this year of running and training, the club members have high hopes for next year.
“We are one of the best cross clubs in the nation. We’ve gotten third the past fall and second the year before in cross country nationals,” Day said. “We have some unfinished business and with only three of our top seven graduating, we have high expectations.”
