Suspect accused of killing Iowa State athlete granted new defense lawyer

BY DANIELLE.GEHR @iowastatedaily.com The man accused of killing Celia Barquín Arozamena, a former Iowa State golfer, was granted a new lawyer after handing in a handwritten request, according to the Des Moines Register.

Collin Daniel Richards, 22, COLLIN appeared at the Story County RICHARDS District Court in Nevada Monday afternoon. He wrote he wanted a new lawyer due to a communication issue, according to the Register.

“I am kindly requesting a new lawyer. The reason for this is communication issue between me and my lawyer,” Richards wrote in the complaint. “I feel moving past this issue is the correct and most productive thing for me. I need to take care of myself and the case I am in.”

Paul Rounds, a Nevada public defender originally assigned to Richards’ case, objected to Richards switching counsel because it will not help Richard’s

DID YOU DQ TODAY?

Iowa State released a statement to student organizations over the implementation of the trademark policy Monday, a topic that has garnered incessant criticism from affected groups.

The policy, which was implemented at the beginning of the semester forbids certain symbols and words within Iowa State club names and logos. Student organizations have said they feel the change came too quickly and without enough notice to be implemented without issue.

“Thank you for your interest and concern regarding the recently modified Guidelines for University Trademark Use by Student and Campus Organizations (Guidelines),” the opening of the letter sent by the university trademark office reads. “We value your input as representatives of the student body.”

The letter explains the purpose, process and means through which the policy was implemented, going through the Trademark Advisory Committee (TAC) of which one current member of Student Government was present.

This months long discussion was criticized by members of Student Government and from student organizations for not having enough student representation or input.

“Not a single student club was present at these meetings,” said Student Government Speaker

Climate report projects major economic damage

BY TYRUS.PAVICICH @iowastatedaily.com

KENNEDY DERAEDT/ IOWA STATE DAILY Jean-Pierre Taoutel, a senior lecturer of French at Iowa State, led and moderated the discussion, “Children at War: Born into a War Zone.” The discussion was interactive and had attendees talk in small groups to answer questions such as, “How do you provide education in wartime?”

The impact of war on children

BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com An interactive panel led by Jean-Pierre Taoutel, a senior lecturer of French at Iowa State, shared stories and awareness about children in war Tuesday evening. The panel, “Children at War: Born into a War Zone,” took place in the Cardinal Room of the Memorial Union.

The three panelists at the event were Taoutel; Abdul Issa, a senior in chemical engineering; and Faizul Jasmi, a senior in software engineering..

Taoutel, born in Syria and raised in Lebanon, talked about his past in a war-torn country and how it affected him.

He spoke primarily on his 15 years in Beirut, Lebanon — a war zone in the Lebanese Civil War. “I remember seeing a truck driving by filled with dead bodies,” Taoutel said, explaining the atrocities he experienced. He said his younger

brother knew nothing but war and didn’t know peace existed in other places of the world.

Taoutel touched on his experience of doing homework in the basement by candlelight while bombs dropped outside.

He explained how centers opened to provide education to small groups of the city when there was no bombardment. Teachers never slept at night and came to school tired. Classes like music were cut because they weren’t considered important enough, he recalled.

“I appreciate life more, I didn’t have a childhood but I want one now,” Taoutel said about his 15 year experience in Lebanon.

The main focus for the panelists was engaging with the audience and finding a solution with them about the issues of education and health.

Jasmi spent his time at the podium explaining how war impacts children’s health and nutrition.

Jasmi explained to the audience that often times in war zones hospitals and water facilities

are attacked to cause health problems for the areas inhabitants.

When Issa spoke he brought up many points about mental health and how it affects children in war zones.

“Mental health is a very serious issue that affects everyone involved,” Issa said.

30 percent of children in war zones experience mental health issues, mainly PTSD and depression, things commonly associated with soldiers, Issa said.

Issa explained that mental illness is stigmatized and often not reported. The three panelists went on to talk about steps the audience can take to lessen the effect of war on children.

The first step was mitigation, which included supporting nonprofit organizations and providing physical and mental rehabilitation for refugees. The second step was prevention, meaning using protests and petitions to contest the spread of war.

Safety, bylaw changes on StuGov agenda

BY MADELYN.OSTENDORF @iowastatedaily.com Student Government will close out the fall semester with bills to improve campus safety and their bylaws at its Wednesday meeting.

Sen. Vishesh Bhatia will be introducing a bill focused on putting more lighting around campus. The bill specifically talks about the walkways east of Pearson Hall and south of the Parks Library, as the heavily trafficked areas currently have little to no lighting alongside them.

Sen. Michael Tupper will also bring forward a bill intended to add Civic Engagement to the agenda bylaws and allow the Civic Engagement Committee to be given agenda items to review. As the current bylaws stand, the committee is not specified to receive or review pieces or legislature.

Sen. Ihssan Ait Boucherbil will introduce a bill asking for bylaw changes to chapters four and five, which deal with committee reports, as the current bylaws do not reflect the procedures being used during Student

Government meetings.

Sen. Caroline Warmuth will propose a bill regarding civic education implementation into Cyclone 101. The bill asks that civic education classes relevant to students be added to the proposed curriculum for Cyclone 101.

Speaker Cody Woodruff will introduce a bill to extend the time cap for Finance Committee updates, as Finance Director Seth Carter found that the current time cap of three minutes did not provide sufficient opportunity to give his report.

The Finance Committee will also introduce the “Finance 2020 Priorities and Criteria Review,” a document containing the priorities and criteria for the upcoming 2020 fiscal year.

D uring the meeting, Sen. Maria Alcivar will be seated to the Diversity and Inclusion Committee.

While much of America stormed retail stores for Black Friday deals, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released its Fourth National Climate Assessment on Nov. 23, detailing climate change and its impact on the United States.

The report focused on already-apparent effects of climate change alongside the expected impact on everything from the U.S. economy to national health. Another section covered actions that must be taken to reduce the risks associated with climate change, although it stated that an “immediate and substantial” shift would need to occur to avoid its worst consequences.

The report projected significant increases in global temperatures, sea levels, rates of natural disasters and the severity of climate events between now and 2090.

One of the core criticisms of climate change regulation is its financial impact on affected industries. NOAA’s assessment, however, argues that the economic damages caused by climate change could dwarf losses caused by increased regulations.

“The continued warming that is projected to occur… is expected to cause substantial net damage to the U.S. economy throughout this century, especially in the absence of increased adaptation efforts,” according to the report. “With continued growth in emissions at historic rates, annual losses in some economic sectors are projected to reach hundreds of billions of dollars by the end of the century.”

In addition to direct impacts on industry, the climate assessment projected declining water availability and quality caused by droughts, flooding and saltwater contamination. NOAA said that forward-thinking water management strategies could help to reduce future risks, although they noted that their real-world implementation is rare.

Water issues were linked to the anticipated decay of national health, which the report said would also be impacted by several other factors. According to NOAA, climate change is projected to increase the frequency and severity of allergic reactions as well as the generally increased spread of disease.

“Rising air and water temperatures and more intense extreme events are expected to increase exposure to waterborne and foodborne diseases, affecting food and water safety,” according to the climate assessment.

“Climate change is also projected to alter the geographic range and distribution of disease-carrying insects and pests, exposing

TAYLIOR SHAW/ IOWA STATE DAILY Gary Mirka, professor in industrial and manufacturing systems engineering, asks the audience what the College of Engineering is doing well and what needs improvement at the listening session for the College of Design dean search at Howe Hall on Tuesday. Another listening session will be held at Howe Hall from 4 to 5 p.m. on Dec. 3.

Searching for a new dean College of Engineering receives input for next dean through first listening session

BY ANNELISE.WELLS @iowastatedaily.com Faculty and community members gathered in Hoover Hall on Tuesday afternoon to give their input on what they want to see in the upcoming search for the next dean of Iowa State’s College of Engineering.

Gary Mirka, professor of industrial and manufacturing systems engineering and former associate dean and department chair, and Luis Rico-Gutierrez, dean of the College of the Design, are the co-chairs of the dean search committee and led the listening session.

Mirka discussed the timeline they hope for the dean search process. The due date for candidate applications is Jan. 1, 2019. Mirka said the committee hopes to have the initial screening of applicants completed by Jan. 18, with off-site or “airport interviews” on Feb. 2 and 3.

From there, the committee aims to bring

candidates to campus in late February. Mirka said if the timeline is followed, the new dean will begin on July 1.

Mirka said audience members should go through their professional networks on campus, off campus, and even internationally to encourage qualified colleagues to apply for the position.

“This is a completely wide open search and we are just looking for the best talent to apply,” Mirka said.

Rico-Gutierrez started the session by saying the committee wants input on what the community wants them to focus on when it comes to the screening process.

“Frankly, for a position like this, we have to be looking for a superhuman,” Rico-Gutierrez said.

“Most likely we will not get a superhuman, we’ll get a human ... In a college as diverse as engineering or a college as diverse as design, there’s no way one single person is perfect for every corner of a college.”

Day Without Art: AIDS awareness event to be held at Parks library

BY LOGAN.METZGER @iowastatedaily.com Day Without Art, an AIDS awareness event, will be held Wednesday. The ISU Global Health and AIDS Coalition will host the event on the first floor of Parks Library all-day Wednesday.

As part of Day Without Art, “Shoulders of Giants,” the clay horses sculpted by Nina Ward on the first floor of Parks Library, will be covered, according to Jacob Bliss, the president of the ISU Global Health and AIDS Coalition.

Bliss said they will be handing out red ribbons at the event, which symbolize the solidarity of people living with HIV or AIDS. “Day Without Art is a day to mourn the loss of people who have died from HIV or AIDS,” Bliss said.

This is the second year this event has taken place at Iowa State, though it started nationally in 1989 by Visual AIDS, making this year the 29th anniversary of the original event, according to the Visual AIDS website.

At Iowa State, Day Without Art is just one event held during Global Health Week, which ends on World AIDS Day on Dec. 1.

“Thursday we will be hosting a bird-dogging event where we teach people how to properly bird-dog and then after the info session we will be holding a letter writing to Congressmen and [Congress]women about increasing HIV & AIDS funding,” Bliss said.

Bird-dog is defined as “when you ask a public official or aspiring candidate to do something you care about in person, and in public.”

The Bird-Dogging event will be Thursday at 6 p.m. in Carver 282.

LETTER

Audience members brought up a variety of topics that they want to see from the next dean, including the importance of the dean working with teams at different levels within the college. This includes faculty, staff, and students, all while helping them work together.

Recruitment and retention rates were also brought up as something the next dean should keep in mind.

“We want to do a good job of recruiting students in the college of engineering and we also want to make sure that we have programs and services that are successfully retaining them and assisting our students to graduate,” said Joel Johnson, program director of Engineering Student Services.

Johnson also said a track record of fundraising is an emphasis that should be considered and that initiatives should be continued throughout the dean’s tenure.

Cody Woodruff. “There was just one student representative, there was never a formal vote at these meetings, and there was never any minutes taken at these meetings.”

In the face of this criticism, the TAC will be expanding its representation among students on the committee, according to the letter.

The reason for the implementation was also explained in the letter — another point of contention between Student Government and the Iowa State Trademark Office.

Whereas University Counsel Michael Norton had said the court case between the Iowa State chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws’ (NORML) and the university had nothing to do with the implementation of the policy at a Student Government meeting in August, the letter said the policy was “certainly influenced” by court cases across

the country, including the NORML lawsuit.

The letter explains how the policy was implemented to protect the universities brand while being able to stay consistent under the First Amendment, and says the best phrase they found to demonstrate this in club titles was “at ISU” rather than having “ISU” before a name.

The trademark office will continue to look for student input and input from Student Government according to the letter, but Woodruff said the impression he has gotten from students about the letter has been entirely negative.

“It seems to have made student organizations more angry, it is getting worse not better,” Woodruff said.

“The university still hasn’t apologized for their miscommunication, they still haven’t claimed any responsibility … This response is more of the same, telling students they are just associated with the university. We aren’t associated with the university, we are the university.”

BOOK REVIEW

Never judge a book by its cover Author of the Raven Cycle series takes reader on character journey

BY MELANIE.DEANDA @iowastatedaily.com If you read as much as I do, it is likely that you understand how difficult it is to choose which single book is your absolute favorite of all time. How is it possible to choose one book out of so many good ones? I’m sure there are a few people out there who do have that one book that will always hold a special place in their heart, but I, on the other hand, cannot choose one.

Although I have multiple books that I would consider my favorite, there is one series in particular that I will always treasure and that’s The Raven Cycle series by Maggie Stiefvater. Notice how I said “series” instead of singling out an individual book? See, even when it comes to the books that have stuck with me the most, I still can’t choose just one. To some, the series would appear to be like any other average story: A couple of teenagers with an adventure they live through, but for however basic the story might seem to some, the books felt like so much more to me.

The Raven Cycle series consists of four books total: The Raven Boys, The Dream Thieves, Blue Lily, Lily Blue and The Raven King. I first read The Raven Boys sometime around February 2017. I remember being so in love with all the

MEGAN PETZOLD/ IOWA STATE DAILY Columnist Melanie De Anda believes that The Raven Cycle series by Maggie Stiefvateris is more than just an “average story.”

main characters. They were the type of characters you couldn’t hate.

If you do happen to hate them, though, all I have to say is: are you sure we read the same book? Riley, who reviewed The Raven Boys on Goodreads seemed to feel the same way I felt, said, “Easily the best book I’ve read all year. I’ve never read a book before where I love every single character equally.”

At least now I know that I wasn’t the only one who felt that way toward the characters.

Even with their flaws, they were easy to love characters.

I love the series as a whole, but a book from

the series that seemed to stand out more to me and that I might just consider my favorite out of the entire series is The Dream Thieves. This book is the second installment of the series which seems to revolve more around one of the main characters named Ronan Lynch, who also happens to be my all-time favorite character.

Just like reviewer Raeleen Lemay said: “The characters feel like actual people, and their relationships develop in a real and natural way, and I can’t get enough. I adore them.”

This sentence alone seems to easily put into words why I adore this series. Everything just

feels real and it feels like the author really wanted you to be a part of the journey that these characters take on.

Ever since reading The Raven Cycle series, no other book has been able to evoke the same feelings in me. The Raven Cycle series is the perfect example of why we should never judge a book by its cover. When I had first heard of it, I thought it would be cliche, and boy was I wrong. Of course, there are still some with that opinion I’m sure, but that’s not how I felt. I’m glad I took the time to read it for myself and it goes to show that different books bring out different emotions in people.

EDITORIAL

First Amendment at the heart of university trademark dispute The fall semester has been fraught with the First Amendment, both in students advocating their right to use it, but also in fighting for it.

Currently, a petition is circulating between student organizations that highlights the frustration of campus clubs regarding the university’s recent implementation of a new trademark policy.

The petition alleges that the manner “in which this policy was devised and implemented was unfair and disrespectful” and that the new policy “severely limits [the] ability to represent both the university and ourselves.”

Over the course of the next week, the petition will be available to sign at different club meetings across campus.

Already this semester, student organizations have rallied against the trademark policy through organizing a town hall meeting with administrators and through a resolution passed

by Student Government.

This is the First Amendment in action.

The First Amendment guarantees the right to peacefully assemble, as demonstrated by the decision for student organizations to come together for a town hall to discuss their next steps regarding this issue.

The First Amendment guarantees the right to petition, as is currently happening among the

student organizations to be given to administration.

The First Amendment also guarantees a free press, as demonstrated by the countless articles and the four editorials previously written on this specific trademark policy.

And what this issue boils down to, for both the student organizations contesting the university’s decision and the administrators who imposed it, is the First Amendment itself.

This isn’t the first time the university has found itself spiraling down a First Amendment rabbit hole in relation to a trademark dispute.

Just four years previous, there was a long battle in the courts between Iowa State’s National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) chapter and Iowa State administrators.

The reason? NORML ISU printed a t-shir t — with the universit y ’s approval — that featured Cy the Cardinal’s head in place of the “O” in NORML. On the back of the t-shirt read, “Freedom is NORML at ISU” with a marijuana leaf placed above the group’s name.

After a profile by the Des Moines Register in 2012 that prominently displayed a photo of the group and its t-shirt, Iowa State began to receive negative criticism for its affiliation to

the organization and the use of Cy the Cardinal on the t-shirt.

Bec ause of this, the universit y rescinded approval of the t-shirt.

The next year, Iowa State revised its trademark guideline to include a clarification that the university logo cannot be used to show endorsement of certain items such as illicit drugs and Iowa State’s name cannot be used to imply endorsement.

In doing so, t-shirt designs submitted by NORML ISU were continuously denied.

This led NORML ISU to the administrators involved, citing that they engaged in “unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination in violation of the First Amendment by subjecting NORML ISU’s t-shirt designs to unusually heavy, politically motivated scrutiny.”

And NORML ISU won. So, the university petitioned the court to reconsider its ruling. And NORML ISU won again.

While this case is starkly different from the one before student organization’s today, it’s difficult to not draw parallels between the two issues: a university seeking to protect its name and image; and a student body feeling excluded, disassociated and financially burdened by its administrators and campus community — the First Amendment at the helm.

Iowa State faces first road test of the season against South Dakota

The Cyclones won 3-1.

Their last dance Iowa State prepares for NIVC tournament

BY MATT.BELINSON @iowastatedaily.com Even though Iowa State missed a trip to NCAA Tournament, the Iowa State volleyball team ended the regular season strong.

A trip to the NIVC tournament Iowa State finished with a 16-13 record, including a season-best four-match winning streak to end their season. Iowa State ended with a 9-7 record in Big-12 play, good enough to tie for third in the conference.

Still, Iowa State missed the tournament for the first time in 12 years.

“It was really disappointing not making [the NCAA Tournament] because obviously as a senior, your goal is to make it to the tournament and get as far as you can,” outside hitter Jess Schaben said.

“None of us seniors wanted it to be over yet.”

The team had the choice to participate in the National Invitational Volleyball Championship (NIVC) and play together a little while longer.

The first two rounds of the NIVC will be held in Hilton Coliseum on Thursday and Friday night. Iowa State will go up against Drake in one of two first-round matchups Thursday evening at 7 p.m. The Bulldogs ended their regular season with a 21-14 overall record.

If Iowa State wins against Drake, Iowa State will play the winner of the Bowling Green and Bradley matchup on Friday night at 7 p.m.

“Drake is a scrappy team and they can definitely play with us,” said libero Izzy Enna.

Bowling Green and Bradley face off in the matchup before Iowa State and Drake.

“I think the team reacted to going to the NIVC more positively than I thought we would,” Enna said. “We were definitely bummed and I am actually surprised we are playing another Iowa team.”

Schaben has never missed playing in the NCAA Tournament while playing at Iowa State and made it clear the whole team, but

especially the seniors, that she did not want their time at Iowa State to end on a negative note.

When it came time to decide as a team to participate in the NIVC, Schaben was grateful once again for an opportunity to play the sport she loves.

“We had some unfortunate circumstances this year and we have to make the best of it,” Schaben said. “Luckily, we still get to play because I know I don’t wanna be done and I am so thankful I can still keep playing with this team I love.”

Schaben said all three seniors thought they would never play in Hilton Coliseum again.

The Cyclones defeated Texas Tech 3-0 on Nov. 23 in Ames to close out the regular season. Emotions were already running high as it was Senior Night.

So when it was announced Iowa State would host the first two rounds of the NIVC, Schaben had more to be thankful for.

“I think all of us are excited to play at Hilton, because we[all three seniors] thought we might not play in Hilton again,” Schaben said.

“So it will be really fun for us.”

Schaben and Lazard make First Team All-Big 12 The Big-12 Conference gave out their postseason awards on Monday and two seniors for Iowa State added on to their already impressive resumes.

Jess Schaben was a unanimous selection and Grace Lazard received the honor for the first time after a dominant senior year for the Cyclones.

Schaben joins some good company, as she is now a three-time All-Big 12 First Team honoree, joining Victoria Henson (2008, ‘09 & ‘10) and Jamie Straube (2010, ‘11, ‘12) as the only other Cyclones to be three-time First Team All-Conference in program history.

Schaben is also the first Cyclone to earn four all-conference honors in her career, as she was Second Team as a freshman.

“I am honored to get [First Team All Big-12] and I want to thank all those who helped me get there,” Schaben said. “I am truly thankful for it.”

For the first time this season, Iowa State will be traveling to the University of South Dakota for their first true home game of the season.

The game is set to tip-off at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.

So far this season, the only game Iowa State has traveled for was a neutral site game in Chatham, Ontario, Canada versus Eastern Michigan, which Iowa State won 85-59.

The game was an unofficial homecoming for senior Bridget Carleton, who is a native of Chatham. Carleton finished the game with 17 points, nine rebounds, three assists and four blocks.

This season, South Dakota is 5-1 with their only loss coming against Drake, who is currently No. 24 in the AP poll, on the road. Drake won the game 76-64.

Currently, Iowa State is ranked No. 23 in the AP poll which is the first time since 2014. For Carleton, it is the first time an Iowa State team she has been apart of has been ranked in the AP top 25.

Carleton said being ranked is exciting and a testament of the team’s hard work so far this season, but Carleton is taking the ranking with a grain of salt.

“It’s the third week of the season, so I don’t think it’s that important [being ranked] right now,” Carleton said. “Obviously, we’d like to be in that spot come March, come late February.”

Iowa State is 6-4 all-time versus South Dakota, but 0-2 when visiting the Coyotes, and coach Bill Fennelly doesn’t expect doesn’t expect South Dakota to be a pushover.

“It’s one of those game the average fan will look at and kinda [be] like ‘whatever,’” Fennelly said. “They’re very, very good. I think they’ve lost one game in two and a half, three years in their new building.”

Fennelly said South Dakota are balanced on both offense and defense.

Carleton said she knows her team has the ability to win on the road due to a majority of the teams experience in Big 12 play last season.

This Wednesday, Carleton could further cement herself amongst Iowa State’s best players of alltime. With three points, Carleton will move to 11th in all-time scoring and three blocks will move Carleton to fifth all-time in blocks.

Against South Dakota, Iowa State is expected to roll out their usual starting five consisting of Carleton, Ashley Joens, Alexa Middleton, Madi Wise and Meredith Burkhall.

On the offensive side of the ball, Joens has found a role early in the season as a spot-up shooter and complimentary scoring piece.

Joens has been averaging 11.8 points per game while shooting 40.4 percent from the floor and 32.4 percent from three.

A RACIST HISTORY Why was Waterloo and Cedar Falls recently named as No. 1 in U.S. for racial disparities? Iowa’s education system and its treatment of black students may be part of the problem.

BY KARA.GRAVERT @iowastatedaily.com The Waterloo and Cedar Falls metro areas in Iowa were rated the highest in the United States for racial disparity in an index based on eight socioeconomic measures in U.S. metro areas.

Waterloo and Cedar Falls has a population of 170,612 people with a black population of 12,085.

While the area’s white unemployment rate amounts to 4.4 percent, nearly 1 percent higher than the national unemployment rate, the black unemployment rate is 23.9 percent.

A similar disparity is seen in homeownership rates, with the area’s white population amounting to 73.2 percent, while black homeownership rates come to 32.8 percent.

The cities that cracked the top 15 in the index, created by 24/7 Wall St., are historically plagued with an immense amount of residential segregation and discriminatory lending, zoning and renting practices.

A brief look at black experiences and histories in the Cedar Falls and Waterloo area, however, may lend a better understanding as to how such deep disparities continue to persist in the state of Iowa.

On a Friday night in 1968, East High School Trojans of Waterloo, Iowa started off their football season. The game was played at West High School’s Wallace Stadium, an all-white school on the predominately white side of town. East High had no stadium to house it’s opponent.

During halftime, police officers attempted to arrest a young black man outside the stadium.

Students took notice and poured around the

incident. Disorder erupted. Officers used mace and clubs in an effort to control the students. After the game’s end, a fire was started at a lumber company that engulfed its mill and nearby homes. At East High, gasoline and lit matches were thrown into classroom windows.

According to an article from the State Historical Society of Iowa and written by historian Katy Schumaker, “The next day, the streets were deserted except for hundreds of National Guardsmen who patrolled the city’s east side on foot with bayonets and in Jeeps and trucks stocked with smoke bombs.”

In an interview with the Waterloo Courrier in 1968, Waterloo East High superintendent George Hohl claimed that the ‘New Left ’ movement across the country was responsible for the unrest in Waterloo. The local newspaper also reported that the police department had identified the protesters as “militants and agitators.”

Katy Swalwell, associate professor in the School of Education at Iowa State, said that while Iowa courts ruled against segregation early in our nation’s history, results were not successful.

“While Iowa did rule against discrimination and passed civil rights legislation in the 19th century, it would take decades to successfully enforce those laws, which communicates very strongly to white people that the legislation was largely symbolic,” Swalwell said.

The 1968 student disorder in Waterloo gave rise to a coalition of residents, white and black, united around the need for further reform. In the following years, dismantling racial discrimination in the school was a primary concern of the community

— and it was pushed by student activism.

It wasn’t until 1973, 105 years after Iowa Supreme Court ruled against segregation in public schools, that the Waterloo school board voted 4-to-3 to finally codify desegregation in school board policy.

But students in Waterloo were less interested in desegregation than they were in implementing what they saw as a new standard of race relations between school administrators, teachers, and students.

Waterloo East students demanded that teachers who did not feel they could treat black students as equals to white students resign and that a relevant education and a course in black history be implemented.

The demands that Waterloo’s East High students would make in 1968 are still relevant today.

“How demands from 50 plus years ago still aren’t being met should infuriate us to action … especially those of us who have benefited from these systems for so long,” Swalwell said.

Beyond the lacking education on Iowa’s black histories, there are a number of barriers black students face in Iowa. Public schools are riddled with achievement gaps that leave minorities, particularly African-Americans, far behind white students.

Statewide, only 49 percept of black fourth-graders are proficient in reading, compared to the 80 percent of white students, according to exams from the National Assessment of Education Progress.

“It is also to reiterate for white readers that the systems, traditions and practices they may trust to work for them have not worked, often by design, for communities of color,” Swalwell said.

case, the Register reported. Judge Bethany Currie granted the request and said she would appoint a Marshalltown office defender.

Richards is charged with first-degree murder after the body of Arozamena was found at an Ames golf course, Coldwater Golf Links. He has pleaded not guilty.

Barquín Arozamena had sustained multiple stab wounds to her upper torso, head and neck, according to the criminal complaint. A witness at the scene helped lead investigators to Richards.

Richards was in the Nevada courthouse in October for a conflict hearing after it was discovered that Rounds had previously has contact with a witness.

said. “A concrete example is that we did the ‘Building our Community’ event.”

The Building Our Community event was a place where students could voice their opinions on whatever they thought attention needed to be drawn to.

“We found out that one of the major underlying themes was the relationship between the faculty and staff to the students,” Cunningham said. “That is directly where we come into play, because we bridge that gap.”

As president of the Business Council, Cunningham leads a four member executive team along with the adviser in bi-weekly meetings.

“I try to organize different things and change it up,” Cunningham said. “We have kind of fell into a complacency, so we are trying to switch that up.”

Kennedy Fischer, vice president of the Business Council, said “Casey is very, very outgoing and passionate about what he does.

It is really easy for him to guide people to work toward a goal, because his passion rubs off on everyone else around him.”

The Business Council’s faculty adviser, Tara Fisher, has watched Casey lead the council throughout the year.

“Casey strives to improve the student experience, not for himself but for all students in the Ivy College of Business and at Iowa State University,” said Tara Fisher, adviser of the Business Council. “In his many roles he looks ahead to how he can make Iowa State more welcoming for every student — both current and future — and the legacy that he can leave behind. He exemplifies the Iowa State Principles of Community in his leadership and embodies what it means to be a Cyclone by putting others first.”

Cunningham is also the President of the Student Carillonneur Leadership Council (SCLC). He founded the club in February of 2017, and Iowa State recognized it in May of 2017.

“SCLC is a long story; but in summary we are making a mini campanile. It’s a one-fifth replica that is mobile,” Cunningham said.

The mini campanile is the first mobile campanile in the world. Engineering capstone classes have been working on it every semester since January of 2016.

“Because I was graduating, I wanted to have something that would stay,” Cunningham said. “So we decided to start a student organization to manage the overall functions of the mini campanile.”

Cunningham is also a Student Admissions Representative, and was a past president of it as well. He is a past president of Iowa State Students for Life, which is a pro-life group on campus.

In addition to clubs and activities, the Ivy College of Business offers a variety opportunities to meet with alumni.

“I once met with the CEO of Nike Golf, and three weeks ago I was at a roundtable with the Ivy award winners,” Cunningham said. “The Ivy College of Business puts you in places that you never thought you would be in.”

Looking to the future, Cunningham said his dream is to eventually be a CEO of a company or his own company.

“I want to do this because one of my greatest assets is recognizing their talents and their strengths and putting them in the right place,” Cunningham said.

He accepted a job last week to be a bank examiner at the Iowa Division of Banking post-graduation.

Cunningham says while he’s excited to graduate, he’s nervous to leave college.

“Although I’m extremely busy it’s my schedule, not like an eight-to-four job. The one thing I’m actually scared of is not being around 36,000 kids or, I should say adults, my age. The most underrated aspect of college is that everybody is your age, but in the work force you have the opportunity to create mentors right away.”

Cunningham said his work with SCLC and within his college are not the only things at Iowa State that have affected him.

“The biggest impact on my life of being a Cyclone is learning that the community of being a Cyclone is far greater than the degree,” Cunningham said. “There’s a pride in being a Cyclone far greater than just athletics.

Cunningham said that being at Iowa State has given him three and a half years of countless opportunities.

“At a large institution it’s easy to get swamped by all the opportunities, but here it’s easy to do it all,” Cunningham said. “I feel like that Iowa State can be for anyone, and once you leave Iowa State you are set on a path of success instantly.”

Although he has another semester left at Iowa State, Cunningham is thankful for his experiences at Iowa State, and has done his best to embrace the opportunities at Iowa State.

“People always say that it ’s the best four years of your life, it really can be,” Cunningham said.

a closed trial were filed earlier this month, Rounds filed an objection soon after and accused the state of “prosecutorial misconduct.”

During the hearing, Rounds accused the state of using the potential conflict as a way to push him out of the case. Judge Currie added this was a necessary step to ensure a fair trial.

Rounds said he had minimal interactions with the witness, only ever speaking to her over the phone briefly. He said he had involvement in the witness’ case in 2015 and 2016 but has little recollection of what the case details were, claiming to not even remember what the violations.

Richards ultimately decided to keep Rounds as his lawyer at the time, but has since changed his decision.

The national climate change assessment analyzed impacts across the nation, stating that the projected damages to local economies and infrastructure across the nation will have a disproportionate effect on lower-income and marginalized communities in the United States.

This is largely due to the fact that wealthier communities have a greater capacity

to prepare for and cope with damage caused by climate change, whereas already disadvantaged groups would not have the resources to recover from damage to their infrastructure.

Indigenous people were specifically highlighted as groups that would be disproportionately impacted due to many industries negatively impacted by climate change including tourism and fishing.

Adverse impacts on subsistence activities have already been observed.”

NOAA’s assessment echoes several other climate reports released earlier in the year, albeit with a perspective primarily focused on the United States.
