GSB presidential candidates discuss differing platform stances in final debate

By Emelie.Knobloch @iowastatedaily.com The two remaining candidates running for president for the Government of the Student Body met last evening to make their final platform points before the coming election next week.

The 2014 GSB presidential debate took place Thursday in the Cardinal Room of the Memorial Union with both presidential candidates,

Khayree Fitten and Hillary Kletscher, present to debate their platforms.

Jake Swanson, an election commission member, was the mediator for the event and asked a range of questions that centered around Iowa State, the candidates and student issues.

Each candidate had 90 seconds to respond to the questions asked. Three minutes were given for the opening and closing remarks.

Swanson asked the can-

2014 GSB ELECTIONS: MARCH 4/5

“One specific mentor told me that one of the differences is personality in this campaign,” Fitten said. “It really highlights an option that students have.”

Fitten said Vice President Kletscher’s style is more friendly.

“The administrator said, ‘Khayree, when you go and talk to us, we know you are being straight with us, you’re going to be forward,’” Fitten said.

didates how they plan to communicate with the university administrators.

“We have relationships already built where we can walk into some of their offices and they will cancel their meeting because they know we need to talk with them,” Kletscher said.

“That takes trust.”

Fitten said that there has been a lot of drama within GSB, and he has turned to administrators that he counts as personal mentors.

Attempted GSB censure fails, viewed as ‘personal’

By William.Dyke @iowastatedaily.com

Outlined boxes indicate where bars and businesses were previously located, while filled boxes indicate where they now stand. The two X’d boxes indicate two businesses that seem closed.

Shocked faces filled the room during Wednesday’s Government of the Student Body meeting, as a proposed measure by Sen. Peter Benzoni attempted to “censure” Barry Snell, GSB vice speaker.

“No communication was established,” said Sen. Zach Bauer, public relations chairman. “You could tell the expression on everyone’s face, most of the people had no idea what was going on.”

A censure is a formal expression of disapproval. Unlike no-confidence motions, censures merely express disapproval without resulting in a direct removal from office, though this can vary from system to system. In some systems, censures can even be brought to the floor — with a chairperson’s, i.e., the vice president’s, approval — without

appearing on the official agenda. They can also be voted on, though this typically requires a supermajority in order to pass.

The censure, which was headed by Benzoni and Sen. Hamad Abbas, cited four main points: • Snell’s presidential campaign • The suit against Adam Guenther, election commissioner • A failure to fully execute his duties according to the bylaws • “Bullying” tactics “I actually really respect Barry,” Benzoni explained. “I just didn’t feel that he was acting in such a way befit of Speaker.”

The pro-censure group’s primary argument focused on Snell’s presidential campaign, feeling that his suit against Guenther and his “smear cam-

Kingland plans affect stores, DOR enforces strict deadline frustrate business owners due to ISU’s high enrollment

By Kelsey.Batschelet @iowastatedaily.com Lincoln Way has been quieter lately as businesses leave the buildings that have been purchased by Kingland Systems on the 2400 block.

As Kingland moves forward with its renovation, several businesses have had to vacate the locations in which they were established, including Random Goods and Restaurant 20/20, formerly called Project 20/20.

“It’s very costly to move and a lot of work,” said Cheryl Gleason, owner of Random Goods, a costume and vintage shop which was located in Campustown for more than two years.

Random Goods had to move locations twice, according to Gleason. In June 2013, the business moved out of the old Varsity Theater, a space that was originally intended for Phase I of construction, and into a building on the 2400 block that was meant to be part of the second phase of construction.

In August 2013, following their initial move, Gleason was informed by Kingland that the store’s new location would also be a part of the first phase of construction, and it would have to move again by December 2013.

Random Goods is among several stores and restaurants on the 2400 block that have experienced some frustration while trying to find a new location.

Restaurant 20/20, which serves Asian fusion cuisine, has vacated its 2424 Lincoln Way location and is now open at 223 Welch Ave. The restaurant moved in January when its Lincoln Way lease expired and it was unable to renew due to the impending redevelopment.

Unlike Random Goods, Restaurant 20/20 was able to remain in Campustown.

Didit, the owner, said that he had the help of a friend in finding the new space.

“I was lucky,” Didit said.

There are limited spaces available for lease in Campustown, Didit said, and many

CAMPUSTOWN p3 >>

By Dalton.Bergan @iowastatedaily.com Any students contracting with the Department of Residence next year have until the end of March 1 to cancel housing contracts without being charged an 80 percent penalty.

Returning students planning to live on campus next semester should have already submitted their 2014-15 housing contracts. By submitting this contract, students reserve their preferred housing selection for the upcoming year and agree to pay for the full contract.

According to the email sent out to those who’ve reserved DOR housing for the 2014-15 school year,

“anyone who wishes to remain an ISU student will be charged several thousands of dollars for any contract cancelled after this deadline.”

With the university constantly working on new ways to manage the increasing enrollment, charging students for vacating spaces may seem counterintuitive.

Pete Englin, the director of the Department of Residence, said this is not the case.

Englin said that increasing enrollment numbers actually makes high penalty fees more necessary. The fee isn’t in place to charge students who cancel contracts, but is more to make sure that students filing for DOR housing are serious about the spaces

they’re reserving.

“If there’s not a lot of risk involved, students will use the on-campus housing as a safety net while they look at other options,” Englin said.

Englin said the 80 percent penalty keeps students from contracting spaces they do not necessarily want. With so many students looking to live on campus, the university cannot afford to be denying students housing spaces only to find out that those spaces are available after contract cancellations.

“The cancellation penalties are actually in place for us to provide better service to students,”

ISU students to monitor campus impact on water

Provided by ISU Meteorology Club

to enter the ISU campus to provide a baseline for the data, two sites are located off-campus after the water has gone through campus and the other five sites are scattered throughout campus.

Each testing location will have its water flow measured and each water sample will be analyzed for nitrates, oxygen levels, clarity and other water quality parameters. The water flow and habitat identification of each testing location will be recorded as well.

This project is a part of a two-semester sequence of courses for students in the learning community.

Although work on the project has not started yet due to the icy conditions of the waterways, the students underwent training last semester and are all formal Iowater volunteers.

“The students are involved in this for several reasons,” said Julich, a

graduate assistant in ecology, evolution and organismal biology and the instructor of the courses.

Julich said that the students will receive hands-on experience in water quality monitoring; become more connected to campus, Ames and surrounding communities and build partnerships within the university and the Ames community.

“They’re participating in the Iowater program as part of these courses on behalf of ISU but are also formal Iowater volunteers,” said David Green, graduate assistant in ecology, evolution and organismal biology. “They received the formal set of training that all Iowater volunteers are receiving including safety training and sampling protocols.”

The idea for this project began when a peer mentor for the learning community suggested that this would be a great service and learning opportunity for students.

Iowa State’s Department of Environmental Health & Safety was supportive about this project and helped provide the students with equipment and

advice.

“Hannah Julich really just ran with it and set up the Iowater training and basically organized the entire endeavor,” Green said.

The main objective of this program is to begin keeping a record of what happens to water as it flows through campus. Over time, these records will show if Iowa State is impacting on the local water quality.

“As a campus, we are not allowed to have an impact on our water quality,” Julich said. “This will help the Iowa State Department of Environmental Health & Safety with their monitoring and this just adds to their pool of data to make sure we are meeting our mandate and we are being responsible as a campus.”

Julich and Green partnered with the Iowa State Department of Environmental Health & Safety, the Iowa State Wetlands Research Lab and the Iowater program.

“Each incoming freshman class will collect a new set of data to add to the old set of data which then will be presented upon by each class each year,” Green said.

Regents to hold phone meeting over Iowa president’s remarks

By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com The Board of Regents will hold a telephonic meeting today to discuss University Of Iowa President Sally Mason’s recent remarks on sexual assault.

Mason will give an explanation on her recent statement about sexual assault on the University of Iowa’s campus.

The board will hear these comments then go into closed session for discussion and evaluation.

Sheila Doyle Koppin said she has no prediction on what Mason will be evaluated on.

Koppin also said she has no prediction as to what the discussion will be and that the session is confidential.

On Feb. 18, The Daily Iowan published an article talking to Mason about the university’s seven reported sexual assaults this academic year. The most recent was reported by University of Iowa police

on Feb. 3.

In the article, Mason said the university’s goal would be to end sexual assaults, but, “That’s probably not a realistic goal just given human nature…”

Mason apologized Tuesday during a President’s Forum at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. In the apology, Mason said, “Several members of our campus community have let me know that my remarks on sexual assault that were printed last week in The Daily Iowan were hurtful and I did not intend them to be so.”

Students held protests Monday in response to the comments. A video published by the Iowa City Press-Citizen showed students standing on a street corner asking passersby to sign a petition. One student said, “Stop rapes on campus. Sign our petition.

President Mason thinks rape is human nature.”

Another student said the University of Iowa has a zero tolerance policy on

drugs, alcohol, hazing and cheating but no zero tolerance policy on rape.

A website, notinmynature.com, was created as a response to the comment.

A petition is linked at the bottom demanding “that President Sally Mason and the University of Iowa take a zero tolerance stance on sexual assault.”

Iowa State University’s policy on sexual misconduct states, “The university prohibits sexual misconduct in any form, including sexual assault or sexual abuse, sexual harassment, and other forms of nonconsensual sexual conduct, all of which can be forms of sexual discrimination. Students should be able to live, study, and work in an environment free from sexual misconduct. It is the position of the university that sexual misconduct in any form will not be excused or tolerated.”

The meeting will be held via telephone at 3 p.m.

Live streaming is available during Mason’s explanation at the regent website.

GSB presidential candidates Khayree Fitten and Hilary Kletscher participate in the presidential debates Thursday in the Cardinal Room of the Memorial Union.

>>DEBATE p1 Swanson asked candidates what the biggest misconception students have about them during this election is and if they can debunk the misconception.

“They can get very personal,” Fitten said. “I am always straight forward and I think the misconception about that is that I am too cold.”

Fitten said that he is going to serve students best with a passion to get things done.

“I haven’t gone through some of the obstacles Senator Fitten has gone through,” Kletscher said. “I am very passionate and very driven just like Senator Fitten, but in a very different way.”

Kletscher said she

believes Fitten and herself handle themselves differently. Kletscher said she likes to have fun.

Swanson asked candidates about the many unfilled senator seats on this year’s election ballot.

“Speaking from personal senate experience, I can understand that,” Kletscher said. “When I first started on senate, I didn’t know what all the rules were.”

Kletscher said she is passionate about projects and students, so when meetings last eight hours, it is hard to tell people that it is worth it.

“I’m sorry that Vice President Kletscher doesn’t think that every meeting is worth it,” Fitten said. “I have not missed a senate meeting.”

Englin said. “Students should be able to trust that the Department of Residence is providing them with the best options possible.”

If students cancel their contracts after assignments have already been finalized, it gets more difficult for the department of residence to fill those spots.

Students should also note that the 80 percent penalty is applied according to how much of their contract is left unused. While canceling before August 2014 will result in an 80 percent fee of the total year’s payment, canceling a contract halfway through the year will only charge 80 percent of what time the contract has left. “[The contract is] partly there as a learning experience for students who haven’t made independent choices before,” Englin said. “In any off-campus apartment, you would be obligated to pay 100 percent after signing a contract.”

While an 80 percent penalty fee may seem harsh to students, the department of residence does their part to help students avoid this penalty.

Students who have to cancel due to unavoidable reasons may have the penalty mitigated or removed, depending on the circumstances.

paign” against Khayree Fitten, fellow presidential candidate, put GSB in a negative light.

Those who argued against the censure felt that there was a separation between Snell’s actions as a presidential candidate and as vice speaker.

They felt that both the lawsuit and the campaign were not issues that needed to be brought to the Senate.

Bauer felt that Snell had not broken any bylaws substantial enough to warrant a censure or removal from office.

Bauer agreed that Snell’s actions during the campaign and his duties as vice speaker were separate.

“He did absolutely nothing unethical, and GSB can’t censure people for speaking their opinions,” Bauer said.

“You can’t take away people’s ability to speak freely or campaign for whatever reason they want.”

Snell argued that, as a student, he was justified in his actions during the campaign.

Snell declined an interview but did make the following statement.

“I think the comments made by senators voicing their support for me and their repudiation of Mr. Benzoni’s actions, plus the overwhelming majority

that students are aware of the deadline.

“We put out a lot of materials like posters, bulletin boards, emails and stuff like that,” said Brittney Rutherford, program coordinator for the department of residence.

Englin said the university usually has less than 100 canceled contracts per year.

With enrollment as high as it is, keeping these “ghost contracts” to a minimum makes it easier for the department of residence to provide students with the best available housing spaces.

she does believe every minute they work for students matters.

“Instead of telling students what we do, Gabe [Walsh] and I would like to show students what we are doing,” Fitten said. “I think that is the main difference between our campaign and Kletscher’s.”

Kletscher said that it is important to remember that every person working in a student leadership role is still also a student as well.

“It is important that we maintain that lifework balance,” Kletscher said. “Meetings do go late, and that is okay.”

Snell said he did not fully understand what Benzoni’s motivations behind the proposition were.

However, other senators did comment, saying that they didn’t feel the censure was in any way politically motivated, but was rather personal.

“To be honest, I think this shows that everybody involved cares about the organization,” said Gabby Williams, speaker of the senate. “They want to hold each other accountable.”

Benzoni also commented on his reasons for the censure, admitting that he wasn’t proud of having to be so harsh and political in the approach but did feel the censure was a reasonable course of action.

Everyone interviewed did agree that there needed to be better communication among GSB members.

“What ultimately came out of that discussion is that we need to have better communication outside of our meetings,” said Hillary Kletscher, vice president. “That’s something I want to focus on over the next few weeks personally, to encourage people to talk to each other. If you have a problem with someone, talk to them.”

>>CAMPUSTOWN p1 of the businesses that had to move found it difficult to stay in the area.

The moves have had an affect on Random Goods’ and Restaurant 20/20’s customer traffic, and both Gleason and Didit said that business has been slower since they changed locations.

“It’s a little bit further from the university,” Didit said in reference to 20/20’s new Welch Avenue space.

The stores have lost some of the walk-by traffic that they had in their former locations on the prominent stretch of Lincoln Way. “We don’t know if its the weather or the location,” Gleason said.

Gleason expressed interest in returning to Campustown someday but does not expect to move into the remodeled space on Lincoln Way. “I don’t think I’ll be able to afford their spaces,” Gleason said.

Other businesses that are affected by the Kingland development are Chicha Shack and Charlie Yoke’s. They both left the 2400 block of Lincoln Way and have relocated within Campustown.

Angie’s Cafe, which was located at 2416 Lincoln Way, has closed.

Kingland will begin construction on the 2400 block of Lincoln Way in stages, and has said that it is “passionate about Campustown.”

Editorial

Social media hostility affects college athletes Social media is everywhere. For those of us in the millennial generation, it can often seem completely normal to spend hours of each day picking and perusing our social media website of choice.

Even when they are not the main thing on our minds, our online profiles are only a few taps away.

As many point out every day, social media is not just about connecting with old friends and following our interests. It also allows for us to communicate — sometimes not so productively — with complete strangers.

Predictably, these communications often focus on well-known figures, including celebrities, politicians and even college athletes.

Some college athletes receive more fame and attention than others.

Likewise, the reactions of these players vary a great deal, from those that simply ignore the haters to those that actively participate in senseless Twitter attacks.

One young man — who responded in what is probably the worst way to social media criticism — is the University of Iowa’s Zach McCabe. The senior forward for the Hawkeye basketball team failed to make a shot that would have resulted in a tie late in last Saturday’s matchup between Iowa and Wisconsin, and was promptly attacked on a personal level via Twitter.

Tweeting back a message containing an expletive with the recommendation that his critics “suck a fat one all of you.” McCabe has since deleted the tweet and apologized, but his response is not going to be forgotten.

Iowa coach Fran McCaffery and several Iowa State players have publicly defended McCabe.

ISU coach Fred Hoiberg also addressed the issue of social media saying, “It’s a joke that people can sit behind their computer and take a stab at a young kid that’s out there doing the best that he can.”

Hoiberg is absolutely right. When institutions or faceless groups like “the Cyclones” are called out and attacked, it is one thing.

With no single person shouldering all of the criticism, such statements can be relatively harmless. When a living, breathing person — especially a young man or woman — is targeted, hate-filled or derogatory comments become much more sinister.

Of course, in athletics, hate-filled and derogatory comments are nothing new.

Deafening cheers that would make a sailor blush have been heard on courts and fields around the world, even at the college level.

What makes social media different is that there is no reprieve. While duking it out in a game, players are distracted from most fans’ calls.

After the game, when athletes go home, though, they are now subject to the same — if not worse — kind of atmosphere, albeit displayed on a screen and not in roaring chants.

College athletes are not babies, and do not need to be coddled. They are people though, and even the staunchest of us can be worn down by constant attacks on our personal lives.

This has led some teams, recently including the University of Iowa basketball program, to simplify matters by banning players from going to social media sites during their playing season.

Other teams, such as Hoiberg’s Cyclones, are instructed to be careful with what they post and, perhaps more importantly, read.

Whether or not a program forbids its players from taking to their online profiles, as Iowa State’s Melvin Ejim succinctly said, “It’s unfortunate, but it’s part of the game now, it’s not going anywhere.”

To all of the college athletes out there, it is not fair and we truly are sorry, but until sports fans can learn to act like adults, or a better system of online filtration is implemented, it is best to turn a blind eye toward the critics of social media.

Religion can’t justify discrimination

By Michael.Glawe @iowastatedaily.com

O

ne could venture to guess that the political activists of the 1960s would be — or are, if they are alive to witness the present state of politics — ­ perplexed by the current regression to a pre-Civil Rights era. Maybe the “fruits of their labor” were more fragile than they appeared to be. Or, perhaps more provocatively, their efforts fell short. This can surely be said of same-sex marriage, of which the actions taken in the ‘60s failed of their effect.

Then again, you cannot change how people feel — this falls within the duty of culture.

As the punch line of a popular Buddhist joke would have it, “Change comes from within.”

We now play audience to some of the most egregious acts against the spirit of that era. It is the mission of younger generations to take up the fight against discrimination and participate in the cross-generational cause.

Hopefully the standardbearers will continue to lead the charge against states like Arizona, which recently attempted to institute legislation protecting the discriminators rather than the discriminated.

The Arizona State Legislature sent a bill to the Governor’s office, which would have allowed businesses to deny service to customers for religious reasons. As supporters of the bill have stated, “people should be free to live and work according to their faith.”

The controversial legislation was vetoed by Gov. Jan Brewer.

It is obvious, however, that the intention of the bill was to establish an attack, perhaps more appropriately called a counterattack, on recent progress in the same-sex marriage movement.

Any sensible person can see this as a rather surreptitious attempt to license dis-

crimination. Currently, there is only the risk of litigation. If the bill had passed, businesses would, once again, have had the freedom to discriminate against a person because of whom they are — nevermind the frivolous “no shirts, no shoes” policies or the actual compelling interests to deny service.

The Center for Arizona Policy, a conservative group that advocated for the bill’s passage, issued a statement: “As we witness hostility towards people of faith grow like never before, we must take this opportunity to speak up for religious liberty.”

The Center for Arizona Policy seems to be operating under a grave misapprehension. What hostility towards people of faith is there to speak of? Christians command an overwhelming swath of the “faithful.” According to a Pew Research religious landscape survey, the U.S. adult population is 78.4% Christian.

Surely the majority cannot feel so acutely persecuted.

To dig deeper, the “faithful” should be narrowed to the religious fundamentalists. After all, there do exist religious factions that support same-sex marriage. But, to effectively cut through the cheap guise of “religious liberty,” we have to uproot the perpetrators with candidness – those perpetrators being the fundamentalists.

Religious liberty does not certify religious fundamentalists to discriminate against anyone they wish. Not only would this reinforce a general — and arguably unnecessary — resentment of the homosexual population, but also the growing contentions between the religious factions themselves. I can certainly imagine, for instance, a practicing Muslim denied the same services (or vice versa, if you’d wish).

The question is whether or not businesses can actually deny service under these pretenses while keeping consistent with federal law.

Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoes the bill would’ve protected businesses that wish to discriminate versus those who would have been discriminated against.

Luckily we have our brothers and sisters of the 1960s who, through great struggle, solidified an answer to that question long ago.

According to the Federal Civil Rights Act all people have the right to “full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, or national origin.”

Essentially, there are expressly defined classes protected from arbitrary discrimination by business owners.

This is not to say businesses do not enjoy the freedom to do business as they wish but that those rights do not supersede the rights of others.

Religious liberty is not diminished by this; rather, it is strengthened. Christians cannot be denied a service just

as well as a Muslim cannot.

There is, however, the First Amendment which provides the salient defense of religious freedom while maintaining the spirit of secularism.

Of course, by calling upon the Civil Rights Act, there is no intention to compare same-sex marriage rights to the ultimate defeat of segregation, although the pestilence of racism may never subside.

However, the gay rights movement is merely a continuation of that spirit, and the younger generations now carry the fight.

It is by embracing the same idea of equality that the human solidarity, as tried and weathered as it is, strengthens.

If this bill had passed, though, it would have only proven, as it has been time and time again, how easy it is to get away with discrimination when operating under the banner of faith.

Letter to the Editor

Know the facts; vote for more space Ann Campbell, mayor of Ames; Steven Leath, president of Iowa State University; Spencer Hughes president of the Government of the Student Body Should Iowa State University students care about next Tuesday’s vote on a new convention center in Ames? Should you? The answer is a resounding yes.

Regardless of how you vote, being an interested, active member of this community is part of your education and the commitment to being engaged is a lifelong obligation.

On Tuesday, all Ames residents are being asked whether

or not to approve a bond issue that would generate $19 million — one-half of the financing for a new convention center. Iowa State University is committed to providing the other half.

The convention center would be attached to the Scheman Building, and would add flat space for large meetings, exhibits, banquets, receptions and other events that aren’t possible today at Iowa State or elsewhere in Ames. When you vote, you should consider a wide range of factors. The following are reasons why the city and Iowa State have collaborated on this proposal: Job Fairs: There’s not enough space

to include all of the employers who want to interview ISU students.

Flexible space for meetings and other events: The proposal creates options for regional and national meetings of student organizations, including fraternities and sororities, that can’t fit in Memorial Union, the Alumni Center or other meeting spaces in Ames.

For weddings, particularly in the spring and summer, there’s not enough space for receptions and dinners for ISU students and alumni who want to tie the knot.

Large conventions: Scheman provides 21 classrooms and a 450-seat auditorium; the convention center

would add 35,000 square feet of open, flat space. This combination — classrooms, auditorium and flat space — is a real asset in the competition for large events.

Scheman upgrade: Another key part of the project is the muchneeded renovation of Scheman, a nearly 40-year-old building that needs 21st century technology, a necessity for every meeting facilities.

Collaboration between the city of Ames and ISU: The proposal carries forward a tradition of collaboration between the city and the campus.

Every time you get on a CyRide bus, or strap on your skates at the hockey arena,

you’re benefitting from a town-gown closeness and cost-sharing that is the envy of college towns across the country.

The convention center is another example of this relationship.

We propose to share the cost of construction because we know we’ll share the benefits.

Students sometimes don’t think of themselves as residents of the community, but students are an important part of Ames.

The bond vote on Tuesday, March 4 is an opportunity for students to have their say about the community We encourage you to cast your vote on March 4.

Making the most of the last minutes Iowa State heads into final 3 games with high post-season aspirations

By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com ISU coach Bill Fennelly stood on Hunziker Court at the Sukup Basketball Practice Facility and turned and pointed at the north wall. Rows of cardinal and gold banners stood out against the gray wall, marking NCAA tournament appearances.

“We talk about that wall up there all the time,” Fennelly said. “We’ll see what [this team] wants to do with it.”

The goal is to hang another banner there at the end of the season. Heading into Wednesday night’s match-up at No. 15 Oklahoma State, Iowa State (198, 8-8 Big 12) was on the “bubble” to get a bid to the NCAA tournament and in jeopardy of going banner-less for the first time in seven seasons.

As the Cyclones walked off the court in Stillwater, Okla., with a 17-point win against the Cowgirls, Fennelly thinks their chances at an eighth-straight banner appear to have gotten much better.

“The more games you win, the less you have to worry about,” Fennelly said. “If you said today, ‘Do you think you’re in the NCAA tournament?’ my answer would be yes. But unfortunately just like at home, my opinion doesn’t count sometimes.”

Fortunately for the team, Iowa State appears to be doing the right things at the right time. With consecutive double-digit wins against Texas and Oklahoma State, the selection committee is likely to give the Cyclones — a first and second round NCAA tournament host — a nod in the postseason.

Fennelly mentioned that before the season started, he knew the final five games would be the toughest part of this team’s schedule. With a 2-1 re-

cord heading into the final two games, the Cyclones are right where they want to be.

Iowa State has to face a tough hurdle against Kansas at historic Phog Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday. The Cyclones gutted out a win against the Jayhawks earlier this season, but have struggled to beat them on the road in past seasons.

“I think Kansas just plays really good at home,” said junior guard Nikki Moody. “The past few years they have hit big shots to tie the game and send it into overtime and we’ve always lost in overtime so it’s mainly about us buckling down and getting another road win.”

Kansas (12-16, 5-11 Big 12) has struggled at times this season, but has proved to be a tough win at Phog Allen.

The Jayhawks took down the Big 12 leader and, now, No. 6 Baylor at home in January.

For Iowa State, there will be no overlooking a Kansas team that will not be playing in the tournament, but will likely be hoping to play the role of spoiler.

With ISU senior Hallie Christofferson approaching the end of her time as a Cyclone, both Fennelly and players have talked about finishing the season strong.

“One of the things that we’ve talked about is that the next 40 minutes are the most important of the season,” Fennelly said after the win against Texas last week. “Sooner or later there isn’t a next 40. At some point you have to look in the mirror and say, ‘Let’s just try.’”

The Cyclones will try for their third-straight win for the first time since their 14-0 start to begin the season. The game will tip at 7 p.m.

Saturday in Lawrence, Kan.

CYCLONE HOCKEY TM

The atmosphere was “loose” at the Sukup Basketball Complex before practice on Thursday afternoon.

Sophomore forward Georges Niang and sophomore guard Naz Long were being chased around pool tables and couches by Micah Byars, director of basketball operations. Junior forward Dustin Hogue was letting out yelps while being stretched by a student trainer. Senior guard DeAndre Kane wore a practice jersey around his neck like a cape and chewed on handfuls of Twizzlers.

Clearly, after Wednesday night’s 83-66 win against West Virginia, the team was in good spirits after obtaining what it called “getting revenge.”

ISU coach Fred Hoiberg stepped out onto the floor and was asked if he thought it was a good thing for his team to be loose at this point in the season with just three games remaining, battling for the No. 2 seed for the Big 12 tournament two weeks away.

“Not necessarily, we’ll probably have to tighten them back up,” Hoiberg said. “It’s a group where they’ve got such good chemistry together and that’s one of the reason we’ve have success.

These guys get along.

They play well together on the court and they do a lot together off the court.

“Any time you can

WHERE WINNING IS A WAY OF LIFE

have that, that all helps as far as building a team.”

The chemistry is what a few players said has not only helped them stay loose at Sukup or Hilton in Ames but also in other places last year’s squad couldn’t.

Last season the Cyclones dropped a game in Lubbock, Texas and this year’s win in Stillwater, Okla., was the first since 1987.

Iowa State has already won as many games on the road as last year’s team with three and has two more chances to better that mark.

In Wednesday night’s win, guard Monte Morris set the ISU freshman single-game record for assists in a single game with 12. The previous record was held by Jeff Hornacek, Gary Thompkins and Will Blalock with 11 assists each.

Morris finished with 12 assists and zero turnovers, grabbed seven rebounds and scored five points.

“He’s really good,” Niang said. “I knew he was good, but to have 12 assists and no turnovers is impressive. The way he handles himself on and off the court, he’s just mature beyond his years.

“When you have someone like that in your program and they’re running the team as a freshman, that’s always comforting to have.”

But his coach pointed out that, defensively, Morris was just as important.

win, Hoiberg was quick to point out that his young floor general chased West Virginia’s sophomore guard Eron Harris around nearly the entire game, holding him to 4-of-14 shooting.

Morris may be assigned to similar duties chasing his friend, freshman guard Marcus Foster, around Saturday when Iowa State (215, 10-5 Big 12) heads to Kansas State (19-9, 9-6) to play in the “Octagon of Doom” where the Wildcats are a completely different team, going 7-0 in Bramlage Coliseum in conference play, but are only 2-6 away.

“We met at the super sophomore camp and we kept that friendship all the way up until now,” Morris said. “He texted me after the game (Iowa State’s first win against Kansas State) and said congratulations, but this one is going to be tougher for you guys.

“If he’s talking trash, I know the rest of his team is thinking the same way.”

LAST HOME SERIES This weekend’s series against the Edina Lakers is the last home series of the 2013-14 season before the ACHA Men’s D1 Natioanl Tournament.

Cyclones prepare for nationals with Lakers face-off

By Will.Musgrove @iowastatedaily.com The Cyclone Hockey will look to use this weekend’s exhibition series with the Edina Lakers as a way to stay fresh for the upcoming national tournament.

With the loss to Ohio last Saturday in the Central States Collegiate Hockey League Tournament, No. 10 Iowa State (33-9-4, 145-1 CSCHL) wrapped up its conference with two weeks remaining before nationals.

Rather than wait until the American Collegiate Hockey Association Tournament to compete on the ice again, the Cyclones will play Edina on Friday and Saturday to keep their hockey legs under them.

“This week is more making sure guys are healthy,” said ISU coach Jason Fairman. “We want to get a little sweat; in that way, we remain sharp.

Some respect, it’s a good thing and other respects, it is a negative thing.”

Since the Lakers are only a Tier III junior league team, Fairman is concerned the Cyclones will pick up some bad habits against them. He said he worries some players might not take practices leading up to the series as

seriously as they do with tougher opponents.

To combat this, Fairman will prepare his team the same way he has all season long. He hopes this attitude of viewing Edina as more of a challenge will help his players stay focused.

However, facing Ohio — which has eliminated Iowa State in its last three postseason appearances — in the first round of the ACHA tournament might be the main motivation for Iowa State. Goalie Scott Ismond said the Cyclones will need to retain the momentum they had in the CSCHL tournament through this weekend if they are going to beat the Bobcats at nationals.

“I kind of feel bad for these guys [Edina] because they are going to take the pounding that we want to deliver to Ohio in that national tournament game,” Ismond said.

This series also gives the Cyclones, who are a little bit banged up, a chance to get healthy. Fairman will rest several of his starters for one or even both of the games with the Lakers.

Additionally, the seniors from the Division III ISU team will get a chance to play in the series.

“There is definitely going be a few of the core guys taking breaks be-

cause they want to be 100 percent heading into nationals,” said goalie Matt Cooper. “So nothing against guys taking one of the games, they are just trying to stay healthy and

as ready as possible for next week.”

If the Cyclones are going to make a run in the playoffs, Cooper said they will need to use the games with the Lakers to iron out

the kinks.

“That main focus is taking it shift by shift and period by period,” Cooper said. “In practice this week and going into practice after Edina will be huge for

the whole team to kind of come together and be on point to go into nationals.”

Iowa State will face Edina at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.

ISU tennis returns home after a month on the road Cyclones recover from mid-season fatigue with doubleheader

By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State returns to home Friday for its first match in Ames in nearly a month, facing off in a double header against Bradley and South Dakota.

The ISU tennis team comes off a difficult weekend in Minneapolis where it was swept in consecutive meets by Minnesota and Marshall.

The Cyclones played the weekend’s second meet against the Thundering Herd without freshman and No. 2 singles

player Samantha Budai, who was sidelined with a knee injury.

Junior Meghan Cassens said that the extended road schedule played a factor in the Cyclones’ sub-par performance last weekend, but that general fatigue has been building as well.

“We’re all kind of mentally drained,” Cassens said. “At this point [in the season] that is how it always is, whether that should be the case or not.

We’re all a little exhausted.”

ISU coach Armando Espinosa said that juggling tennis and school is difficult for his players, most of whom have not been to a Thursday or Friday class in nearly a month.

Junior Ksenia Pronina said that for her, the process of refocusing will be easier now that she has a

few weeks at home.

“I think all of us are tired,” Pronina said.

“It gives us a chance to breathe a little bit.

Hopefully it will give us an advantage.”

Pronina said that her motivation to fend off any mid-season ruts is the urgency she feels now that her collegiate tennis career is more than half over.

“I am not going to do this for my entire life,” Pronina said. “I only have one and a half more seasons left, so I have to take every match I can get right now.”

It was not merely fatigue that had the Cyclones on their heels last weekend. Espinosa said that his young team still gets psyched out occasionally when taking on big name opponents like Minnesota or ranked opponents like

Marshall.

“We are right there,” Espinosa said. “We just need a little more of a belief from the group that we belong there and [can win].”

Cassens said the Cyclones were somewhat defeated heading into the weekend, and that they need to work on seeing tough opponents as an opportunity, not an insurmountable obstacle.

The upcoming schedule also includes Drake, so the Cyclones have three very winnable meets coming up to get their current slump figured out, Cassens said.

Iowa State will attempt a turn-around this weekend as they matchup with Bradley and South Dakota in back-to-back meets at 10 a.m. Friday at Ames Racquet and Fitness.

Gymnasts persevere despite illness

By Harrison.March @iowastatedaily.com

Brian Achenbach/Iowa State Daily

Senior all around Hailey Johnson poses during her balance beam routine. Johnson would receive a score of 9.725.

Last Friday, Minnesota made the trek south to take on the ISU gymnastics team. The Gophers won that match-up by a final tally of 196.525-194.750.

Come Saturday, the Cyclones will return the favor by heading north to Sports Pavilion in Minneapolis for a 4 p.m. tangle with No. 12 Minnesota.

This is the seventh season in a row that Iowa State has participated in

a home-away series with Minnesota. In fact, the Cyclones and Gophers have squared off once each in the other’s territory every year since the 1997-98 season, with the exception of the 2006-07 campaign.

“From year to year we’re always very competitive with each other,” said ISU coach Jay Ronayne. “It just kind of makes sense to meet the teams that are good, as well as close to us geographically.”

Facing Minnesota back-to-back weeks comes with advantages, senior

Megan McDonald said following the Feb. 21 loss to the Gophers.

“We really need to step it up on vault,” McDonald said. “We killed it tonight.

This might be the best score of the year, but watching their vaults and seeing how they do it, we can definitely improve our landings.”

In its previous meet with Minnesota, Iowa State had to change up its lineup due to injury. This week, the coaches are switching things up again.

Senior Hailey Johnson is anticipated to be back on the floor exercise for the first time since the Feb. 7 meet against West Virginia.

Johnson said while she is excited to get back out on the floor, she is trying to keep her focus balanced across events.

“I’m definitely excited.

I think I can step up on floor,” Johnson said. “I also worked some new vaults on Monday, one with a 10.0 start value. Hopefully I can get that one down and get a good one at the meet so I can help out there.”

As the Cyclones are working to solidify their lineups, they are also battling an illness bug that has floated around the team.

Senior Camille SanterreGervais, who has won the award on bars in the past three meets, missed practice Tuesday. Johnson said she thinks there isn’t anything to worry about, though.

“It’s around that time of year, with it being winter. The season can take a toll on your body, too,” Johnson said. “Every weekend we’re travelling or pounding our bodies and

then we turn around to practice right away. It can take a toll, but we’re doing well and we’ll be healthy for the weekend.”

Despite having to overcome some obstacles his team can’t control, Ronayne said his team has an idea of what it will take to flip last week’s results in their favor. “[Minnesota] will probably not be much better than what we saw because they were just really good,” Ronayne said.

“There’s no defense in our sport … It’s not like we adjust anything because we know what they’ll do.

But we know exactly what they’re capable of, and we know exactly what we have to bring.”
