GSB makes ‘secret service’ changes

the duties of the Sergeant-at-Arms and a small number of subsidiary Sergeants-at-Arms, who will act in his or her absence.

Knight appointed Rajin Olson, Senator and vice-speaker of the Senate, as the current

Sergeant-at-Arms.

Olson was appointed at the GSB meeting Wednesday.

“It’s a position we need to have,” Knight said. “I should’ve gotten to it a while ago.”

Knight explained that the title of

Sergeant-at-Arms comes with different responsibilities at different organizations.

“It’s parliamentary tradition,” Knight said. “Several years ago the

Greek community

ISU greeks nationally honored

By Ryan.Anderson @iowastatedaily.com Greek communities from all over the country gathered to discuss how to live out chapter values.

The Association of Fraternal Leadership and Values holds an annual conference that covers issues from councils and chapters around the country. Those chapters include the Interfraternity Council, Collegiate Panhellenic Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council and Multicultural Greek Council.

“The association is the umbrella over the conference we went to,” said Katy Cran, assistant director of Greek Affairs. The conference, held Feb. 7-10, provided professional opportunities and intermingling for members of fraternities and sororities through speakers and various sessions.

Katy Cran said there were about 190 sessions made up of larger groups, and breakout groups as well.

Keynote speeches consisted of a session on how to be socially excellent and positive leaders in the greek community and a session on why individuals are members of his or her specific chapter and how they can motivate one another and do better things.

Megan Jensen, a member of the Collegiate Panhellenic Council, said the second session’s focus was on living up to your organization’s potential.

Photo courtesy of Taylor Vermeer Iowa State took 36 students from the greek community to the Association of Fraternal Leadership and Values conference. The group was one of the four largest groups to attend the conference.

“ISU was one of the largest delegations,” said Teresa Sherwood, the Collegiate Panhellenic Council’s graduate advisor. “We were in the top four for the amount of people that went, and 36 people from ISU went. We were really proud to bring as

many students as we did.”

The conference represented over 300 colleges and universities, which made the grand total attendance approximately 28,000 people.

Editorial:

GSB passes order, wastes student time Although we often criticize the Government of the Student Body, seldom do we see a member of GSB, in his or her official capacity, so completely, abjectly waste students’ time with a petty distraction as President Jared Knight’s issuance of an executive order on Jan. 28.

At that time, in what seems like a joke, he wrote that the vice-speaker of the GSB Senate “assume the duties of Sergeant-at-Arms and Commander of the Secret Service of the Government of the Student Body.” He would “enforce Government Policy at official meetings and ... [have] the authority to provisionally hold members found in violation of that policy with malfeasance, nonfeasance, or malfeasance of duty, subject to Rules Committee action.”

The secret service of the Sergeantat-Arms would “provide for the protection of the President and Vice President and shall execute any covert missions to which they are assigned by Executive decree.”

In another executive order, sent Tuesday morning, Knight modified the provisions of the original. The Sergeant-at-Arms would have the same powers at meetings, but instead of having a secret service at his or her disposal, would “select subsidiary Sergeants-at-Arms, subject to the approval of the President, who shall assist in the enforcement of Government Policy and fulfill all duties in the absence of the Chief Sergeant.”

In the second order, Knight noted a reason for creating a Sergeant-at-Arms position. “The Sergeant-at-Arms is a crucial role for any body operating under parliamentary rules of procedure, and both procedural tradition and Government Law demand the existence of these positions.”

The job of a Sergeant-at-Arms, basically, is to maintain order. Sergeantsat-Arms are the people who forcefully remove unruly members or gallery members. Aside from the immensely vague allusions to “procedural tradition” and “Government Law” (which government, and which laws, we have no idea), the GSB Senate has no need of such personnel. Never in memory has anyone made a commotion and disrupted the proceedings.

Such executive orders, and acceptance of them by the Senate, suggests playing at government more than actually working to improve student life.

Instead of improving their image by undertaking projects that benefit their constituencies, they apparently are content to create and take offices that have only the appearance of making them the equal of the state legislature or Congress rather than doing the work that would make them just as important to students.

Indeed, members of GSB are content to display the dignity of their office through adopting unnecessary and empty titles, but not by adopting, say, a dress code.

If the members of GSB want more respect and credibility, they can have it — by working well, not frivolously.

Respectable is as respectable does.

In a few weeks, students have an opportunity to vote for new members of the GSB Senate and a new president and vice president. They have an opportunity to choose officers of the allinclusive club that is GSB who will take action rather than wasting their time.

Asteroid close call not first J

une 30, 1908, was a rather eventful day in an otherwise uneventful forest in Siberia, Russia, when a meteor nearly a football field in size exploded only a few miles above Earth’s surface.

The “Tunguska event” went almost completely unnoticed thanks to its isolation from the rest of the world, even though it impacted Earth with an energy level equivalent to roughly 15 megatons of TNT — or 1,000 times as powerful as the thermonuclear detonation over Hiroshima, Japan.

The Tunguska meteor leveled more than 830 square miles and would have measured more than 5.0 on the richter scale — and was almost identical in characteristics to the asteroid passing a record close proximity to us Friday, named “2012 DA14.”

Asteroid 2012 DA14 is a little less than a football field in diameter and weighs an estimated 130,000 tons. It will pass within geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of about 3.5 Earth radii — 5,000 less than the satellites — and will be traveling 18,000 miles per hour, more than 23 times the speed of sound.

If this asteroid were to enter our atmosphere and become a meteor, it would be almost laughable for me to say it would be a bad day.

Don’t worry, though, there is zero chance for 2012 DA14 to hit us, even on any return trip within the next 100 years.

As NASA Jet Propulsion Lab’s newest volunteer ambassador for Iowa, I will regularly make an effort to keep you up to date on the latest information and research to come out of NASA. With that said, if you wish to see it, it will require a mounted pair of binoculars positioned to catch the asteroid traveling from the southern evening sky to northern morning sky at about 1:24 p.m. The asteroid can be viewed via live feed from one

Photo courtesy of NASA/JPL-Caltech This diagram depicts the passage of asteroid 2012 DA14, which is expected to pass through the Earth-moon system Friday. A recent close encounter sparks questions about asteroid safety in the future.

By Ian.Timberlake @iowastatedaily.com of NASA’s telescopes at http:// www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/ustream.html 2012 DA14 was discovered by the LaSagra observatory in southern Spain on Feb. 23, 2012.

This is almost exactly one year before the asteroid’s passing.

Suppose it was calculated to be an impact like the one in Tunguska Forest.

Is one year enough time to prepare if 2012 DA14 were on an orbital path destined to impact us? An asteroid this size is not big enough to decimate our large region of the world, but it is big enough to decimate a metropolitan area. Even though an asteroid is far more likely

to impact water than land, let alone a highly populated area, things like this would need to be considered. Would it be feasible to organize a team to send out a spacecraft to intercept and divert said asteroid? Or would it be better to calculate its impact region and evacuate anyone within the effective impact radius?

If the asteroid were anything like 2012 XE54, discovered Dec. 9, 2012 — two days before passing Earth within the moon’s orbit — then there isn’t much we could do but evacuate as many as possible and tell the world to hunker down. Even though 2012 XE54 was not big enough to do considerable damage if it hit us, it still shows the owl-like stealth of these rocks and how well they fly under the radar.

As far as I can discern, a future asteroid impact is the only natural disaster humans have the capability to avert. It’s also the only known natural disaster capable of wiping us out just as

it did the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

NASA and other private corporations should be wellfunded such that scanning the local galaxy becomes simplistic and proficient enough to spot lethal asteroids well before they spot us, and possibly already have tested and proven asteroid diverting technology.

Quoted more than once in my columns, Aldous Huxley said, “That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.” The sad reality is that it takes a massive disaster to occur for us to do anything about it on the come around, and even then we are lax. Let us consider the implications of said near-misses and start appropriating resources toward a solution.

Letters to the editor

Justin Bieber has talent, too I

am responding to the column entitled “Music can provide more than relaxation.” It was an interesting article with good points, but I was annoyed by one particular part of it: the slight at Justin Bieber. I do not know why Bieber is always under so much fire, especially from our generation. As a fan, I feel societal pressure to pretend not to like him because my peers are so vicious about him.

However, if any of the haters actually took time to look at Bieber, they would discover how talented he really is. Though some might not like his songs, he is the lead writer on almost all of them, which is more than stars like Rihanna and Beyonce can say.

Bieber is also a talented musician and was playing guitar, piano and drums by the time he was 8 years old. He is also a gifted dancer and

singer, and managed to retain a huge fan base pre-puberty and postpuberty. Also, Bieber is under 20 years old and worth over $100 million.

How many of the multitudes who criticize him can claim that?

I will agree that there are silly things about Bieber, but next time someone criticizes him because he is an easy target, I hope they think about how talented he actually is.

In the past three years he has shown the world his great musical, entrepreneurial, and dance abilities, and if more people started noticing, I think they would learn to “Never Say Never” in regard to respecting Bieber.

Learn not to use ‘reply all’ button A

t the beginning of every semester, this maddening event takes place.

I’m not talking about syllabus week, nor am I talking about the mad rush at the book store.

I am talking about the dreaded Reply All button. I am talking about when that one guy sends an email pertaining to one person but instead of hitting the Reply button like normal human beings, he hits the Reply All button.

Wednesday was the day it happened to many students here at Iowa State. The day started normally; I woke up to several emails, including one from the ISU College Republicans. As I was lying in bed getting deeper into my email, I saw the dreaded email.

Yes, that’s right, the “Please remove me from this List Serv” email. I instantly said to myself General information: The Iowa State Daily is an independent student newspaper established in 1890 and written, edited, and sold by students

“Here we go!”

This seems to happen at the beginning of every semester. I receive an email regarding the club’s activities and one guy decides to hit Reply All to inform us he no longer wants to be in the club. It seems to happen the most to the ISU College Republicans. I don’t understand why you feel the need to hit Reply All. I know we Republicans like to express our thoughts to anyone willing to listen to them, but a List Serv email is not the way to do so.

The worst part about all of this is that those people who wanted to be removed from the List Serv were no longer the ones spamming it come 2:00 in the afternoon. At this point in the afternoon, the rest of the club who still wanted to receive emails were finally checking their mail. They all proceeded to send 15 emails 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.

regarding how we should use the Reply button.

Every email was saying the exact same thing and we were just repeating ourselves.

Now is it too much to ask for my Republican friends to learn how to use the Reply button and not the Reply All button? I know we all have strong opinions about everything in life, but just like the majority of political emails, spamming a List Serv does not better your platform.

I may not support stricter gun laws, but one thing I will be in full support of in this upcoming GSB election is increased regulation in the use of the Reply All button within List Servs.

In the first meeting this season between the two teams on Jan. 26, the Cyclones defeated the Mountaineers 53-49 in Morgantown, W.Va. In that victory against West Virginia (1410, 6-7), the Iowa State found itself down by 14 points before storming back to take the win.

Forward Hallie Christofferson led the way for Iowa State with 23 points and a pair of free throws with 6.5 seconds left to secure the win.

Forward Chelsea Poppens and point guard Nikki Moody each recorded 10 points, as well.

For West Virginia, center Ayana Dunning tallied 17 points and 7 rebounds to lead the way for the Mountaineers.

Men feel pressure to win last games, build team resume

By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com The 89-86 loss to Texas on Wednesday night marked the third loss on the road in Big 12 play that came down to the wire for the ISU men’s basketball team.

Now that Iowa State (16-8, 6-5 Big 12) has five Big 12 losses, the players understand the sense of urgency with a dwindling number of games left to build its resume.

three absolute heartbreakers on the road to some very good teams.

“We have to go take care of our home court and try to find a way to steal these last few road games.”

Iowa State starts a three-game stretch against Big 12 teams in the middle to bottom half of the Big 12 on Saturday against TCU — a team that has one win in Big 12 play.

That single win, however, came against then-No. 5 Kansas in a 62-55 slugfest on Feb. 6.

Aside from the third close loss on the road in the Big 12, Iowa State improved in two key areas that Hoiberg called the difference in the 79-70 loss at Kansas State: turnovers and rebounds.

Iowa State committed its second-fewest amount of turnovers in the Big 12 and by far the fewest on the road at Texas with eight.

Going into last Wednesday’s game, the team was averaging 15 on the road.

Iowa State also improved rebounding.

Kansas State scored 20 points off second chances, 17 of which came in the second half.

Against Texas, Iowa State was still outrebounded, but it only allowed nine offensive rebounds in 50 minutes and accumulated 19 on the offensive glass on its own.

landings [and] those hit routines.”

To improve their score, the Cyclones said they need to complete 24 routines against Northern Illinois without major errors.

Mistakes like falls or stepping out of bounds can hurt their score.

However, executing the small details of each routine can be just as important for improving scores.

Details like pointing toes and hitting handstands are what Iowa State has been focusing on in practice this week.

“As a team, I think we’re all working on the same thing,” Stranahan said. “We’re mostly hitting routines so we get to work on making our form better, making sure we’re getting things like handstands, making sure we have straight legs and pointed toes. All those things that make gymnastics look pretty.”

In addition to improving scores, ISU coach Jay Ronayne hopes that competing in only one meet this weekend will help the team’s confidence.

“If all goes according to plan, [this weekend] will be a confidence-booster,” Ronayne said. “I feel we will be scoring higher and I think we’ll be a little stronger and we’ll be able to get a tiny bit of rest.”

>>GSB.p1 GSB had this position to enforce policies, and it has been vacant for a couple years. We needed to get it.”

For GSB, “the main responsibility will be making sure everyone is abiding by the social media policy,” Olson explained. “There are not very many duties required.”

Simply put, it is a position to enforce all GSB policies during meetings.

For example, the social media policy prevents students from checking their Facebook and Twitter accounts during Senate meetings.

Due to the hectic schedules of college students, Knight and Olson established that Olson would not be able to be in attendance at every GSB meeting.

Their solution was to create a secret service that would consist of subsidiary Sergeants-at-Arms who

would take on the responsibility when Olson could not be present.

“If there has ever been a waste of Senate time, this is it,” Senator Daniel Rediske said after Olson presented the idea of the secret service at the Jan. 30 meeting while wearing sunglasses and making jokes.

“I felt we were spending more time on a joke than we do examining some of the issues that actually affect students on the Senate floor,” Rediske said. “I understand it was a joke and meant to be a bit of fun — I want GSB members to have fun. I just felt it had gone on too long.”

Knight issued an Executive Order ending the secret service program saying, “it was a joke some people couldn’t get past.”

Olson said that he and Knight had a “similar mindset” on the position.

“We had our own understanding of the job internally, and all others saw was the

title,” Olson said.

After Knight and Olson discussed the issue with other GSB senators, they decided to drop the name.

The order still calls for subsidiary Sergeants-atArms, but eliminates the title of “secret service.”

There will be one, or at most two, subsidiary Sergeants-at-Arms.

“They would need to be at every meeting, and hopefully familiar with Senate,” Olson said.

“We want this to be as transparent as possible, and we’re always looking for more students to get involved with GSB.” The subsidiary candidates will be selected through an interview process.

Regardless of how many subsidiary Sergeants-at-Arms there are, only one will serve at a time.

For further information on becoming a subsidiary Sergeant-at-Arms, contact Rajin Olson or Jared Knight.

>>GREEK.p1 Sherwood explained the conference helps undergraduate students see what it means to be a lifelong member, and what makes Iowa State’s organization so unique.

Iowa State’s Collegiate Panhellenic Council won the Sutherland Award.

The award is given out annually to the chapter that shows high marks in community and practices the chapter holds. Qualifications must be submitted and the award is given to the school that scores the highest in all eight components.

The eight components include academic achievement, council management, leadership and educational development, membership recruitment, philanthropy and community service, public relations, risk reduction and management, self-governance and judicial affairs.

“We had two of our councils recognized this year,”

The different delegations participated in stroll competitions.

“Strolling started originally with Black and Multicultural Greek organizations and it is basically choreographed movements, usually in a single-file line,” said Nathan Olmeda, the National Panhellenic Council graduate advisor, “each stroll is particular to an organization.”

The four councils at Iowa State participated in the competition and called themselves ISUnity.

Hundreds of colleges and universities attended the conference, but according to Noah Kilonzo, president of the National Panhellenic Council, they were able to connect with other students across the country.

“One of the lessons that I think I learned and was relatively important was the concept of brotherhood and sisterhood,” Oliveda said.”Throughout this conference it is an opportunity to foster brotherhood and sisterhood with your community and to say ‘I can be a brother to you.’”

The conference gave the councils at Iowa State a newfound relationship, Jensen said.

“The conference kickstarted a lot of bonds, collaboration and integration with the four councils we have at ISU,” Jensen said.
