Ask Adonijah

CELEBRATING THE BEGINNING OF IOWA STATE Editor’s note “Ask Adonijah” is a contributed piece from the Iowa State University Library Special Collections and University Archives. The piece is named after Adonijah Welch, who was Iowa State’s first president, and seeks to answer community members’ questions about the history of Iowa State.

Have a question? Let us know by emailing askadonijah@iowastatedaily.com.

Dear Adonijah: This month I would like to take a brief interlude from answering questions from you loyal readers and reflect on the important events that transpired in this state some 160 years ago.

On March 22, 1858, exactly 160 years ago today, the governor of Iowa, Ralph P. Lowe, signed the bill establishing the Iowa State Agricultural College and Model Farm. It was a hard-fought victory for those in the state who felt Iowa should have a people’s college dedicated to improving the lives of farmers and members of the working classes.

The passage of the legislation was just the first step in establishing the school.

The path to becoming a functioning educational institution was a decade-long journey. A year after the legislation was passed, the Board of Trustees for the college selected Story County as the location for the new school and the original 648 acres of land, which once belonged to

the native peoples of this region,was purchased. Work was started on establishing the farm and making improvements to the land. Things seemed to be advancing nicely for the little school until the Civil War interrupted its progress.

The first campus building, the Farm House, was completed in 1861 and the following year, Iowa became the first state to accept the terms of the Federal Land Grant College Act, sometimes referred to as the Morrill Act. This grant of 210,000 acres of federal land to the state was, fortunately for this campus, used to support the fledgling agricultural college and not the state university in Iowa City.

As the war came to a close, money from the state was allocated for an actual school building, and, after some false starts in its construction, the Main Building opened its doors in the fall of 1868. This was the same year I was hired as the first president of the new school.

I find it hard to believe that it has been 150 years since I received that letter from the board inquiring about my services!

On March 17, 1869, over a decade after the passage of the legislation establishing the school, the Iowa State Agricultural College opened its doors to the school’s first freshman class. Composed of 136 men and 37 women, these bright young students hailed exclusively from the state of Iowa. They came mostly from farms and small towns and, for many of them, the Main Building was by far the largest and grandest building they

had ever seen. The first class was also exclusively white, as it would be another 22 years before the first student of color would enroll at Iowa State.

Tuition was free, but that did not mean students had a lot of money or free time to spend on frivolous activities. Each student was required to work at the school, either out in the fields or in the kitchens, and they had to follow strict guidelines regarding social interactions. The wages they received for their labors only partially covered the cost of their books and meals, and, between their studies and work, there was little time to socialize, especially when compared to today.

Iowa State’s first graduating class, consisting of 24 men and two women, received their diplomas on November 13, 1872. During the commencement exercises, 20 of the graduates presented a speech to the rest of the attendees, including the faculty, fellow students, members of the Board of Trustees and even the governor. It was a thrilling experience.

My colleagues and I strived to establish a solid foundation that succeeding faculty and staff could build upon. As during my era, there will continue to be challenges and successes ahead, but as long as this school has strong leaders and the support of the legislature, dedicated faculty and staff, and passionate students and alumni, the Iowa State community will be able to celebrate these milestones for many years to come.

LETTER

Cage-free worth the expense

COURTESY OF GETTY IMAGES

Army ROTC Instructor Sean Reilly argues readers should choose cage-free eggs because they give hens a better living environment.

BY SEAN M. REILLY ARMY ROTC INSTRUCTOR

The United States is the world’s largest producer of cow’s milk, chicken and beef, and we are also the world’s leading food exporter. The country’s status at the top of agriculture is due to hard work, innovation and the good fortune of living in a resource-rich land.

An area where we can improve, however, is in the treatment of our farm animals, especially laying hens. The majority of them, 250 million of the 300 million in the U.S., live a rough life.

At 18 weeks old, the birds are put in cages that are only 18 inches wide, 24 inches long and 17 inches high. And not just one bird per cage, but between six and eight. For the rest of their 18-month life, they are confined in wire walls and live on a wire floor. There is no nesting, dust-bathing or pecking at the ground.

But the news is not all bad. We, as consumers, can end this method of egg production by buying cage-free eggs instead of

regular eggs. They cost more, but not by much. A recent check at Hy-Vee and Fareway found regular eggs for $2.20 a dozen and cage-free eggs for $3 a dozen.

Cage-free egg production has its problems. Among them are bacterial contamination of eggs laid directly on the ground where there is hen excrement, broken bones, a higher hen mortality from increased hen activity out of cages and the higher labor costs for gathering eggs.

Cage-free hens do not reside in a sunrise over the barnyard type setting that many of us might imagine — the demands of producing many eggs cheaply don’t allow that.

But cage-free does give hens space to walk, flap their wings, peck on the ground and nest. And the beauty is that we can make it happen for the hens by paying just a dollar more for a dozen eggs.

I am the operations officer and an instructor in the Iowa State Army ROTC department. This is my opinion and not necessarily the opinion of Iowa State Army ROTC.

EDITORIAL

#MeToo needs more than victims The #MeToo movement has swept the country, giving women who have experienced sexual harassment of varying severity, from sexual comments to forcible rape, a voice. Women have felt empowered and relieved of shame and guilt that often affect victims of sexual abuse. The movement has generated much praise, along with criticism.

Some people argue it has gone too far or is too unforgiving of offenses that occurred many years ago. That particular issue arose recently with the awarding of an Academy Award to a documentary called “Dear Basketball” about the dreams of a young boy named Kobe Bryant. The film consists of animated pastel-type drawings and shows determination and persistence can lead to great success.

What the film doesn’t show is that in 2003 a Colorado hotel worker claimed Bryant raped her. The case was settled and did not go through public court hearings. Bryant said he thought the sex had been consensual. So, there was an admission of sex, but Bryant did not admit guilt.

What could Bryant do now to show he has grown into the idealistic person the film shows?

Bryant could have great impact if he were to admit he acted badly and abused his power.

He could be a force for good if he were to talk to young boys about gender issues and the possible abuse of power.

Speaking up for the role of men in general and the role of powerful men – either through wealth or fame – would be very effective.

The #MeToo movement lets women who have been silenced speak, and that speech can be very cathartic. But for change to happen, men and women need to examine our behavior, to think about it carefully and remember always to treat others as we want to be treated ourselves.

That isn’t always easy. People like Bryant carry great weight with the public and are role models for many young people.

The second act of the #MeToo movement cannot be left only to the victims, as they strive to free themselves of the psychological bonds of that victim identity.

Actions must change, and for that, we need men, who are usually the perpetrators, to become engaged in their own effort to learn and grow and become more humane.

Iowa State struggled on offense this season, often in crucial situations. While the duo of Bridget Carleton and Emily Durr caught fire toward the back half of the Big 12 slate, for long stretches the Cyclones looked lost once their first option (almost always a play for Carleton) was snuffed out.

Looking back: post presence, or lack thereof

A main reason for that stagnation was the lack of a consistent post presence at any point during the season.

Iowa State scored 2,078 points in 31 games, only 10 total points fewer than their opponents. A whopping 75.7 percent of their points were scored by backcourt players. 75.7 percent!

Only two Cyclones post players scored more than 150 points: junior center Bride Kennedy-Hopoate (who has since made clear her intention to transfer), and junior forward Meredith Burkhall, who had a very up-and-down season.

Kennedy-Hopoate averaged 6.7 points per game, but most of her production came off of the bench.

Burkhall started 22 contests, but only reached double figures in points four times (she averaged 6.3 points per game).

Freshman Kristin Scott showed promise at the beginning and end of the season, but disappeared at times during the Cyclones’ schedule due to injuries and Fennelly’s tendency to run with the hot hand.

Claire Ricketts, who performed very well in the back half of the season, was a non-threat offensively.

On the defensive end, the lack of an intimidating post presence led to dominating performances from the Big 12’s best.

Baylor’s Kalani Brown and Lauren Cox combined for 46 points, 24 rebounds and 10 blocks when they came to Hilton on Jan. 17. Oklahoma State’s Kaylee Jensen scored 35 points on 14 shots against the Cyclones. You see where I’m going with this.

The Cyclones were perimeter-focused to the extreme last season. Hell, Carleton was the team’s leading shot-blocker with 29 (nine more than Scott).

It’s not a good sign when the team’s leading shot-blocker is a guard who averaged less than one block per contest.

The Cyclones played much of the season without a defensive presence in the post. Ricketts changed that when she came in, but her lack of scoring hurt the Cyclones on offense.

Kennedy-Hopoate provided spurts of offensive brilliance and a toughness the Cyclones sorely

needed, but she would go missing from games and isn’t going to be on the roster next season.

Lauren Mills joined the team mid-season and redshirted, but the Tasmania native is seen as a project and isn’t (at this moment, at least) expected to contribute much next season.

Burkhall had her moments, but still hasn’t found a rhythm offensively, and Scott showed a lot of promise but never got her jumper going. The lack of any consistent post play played a big role in the Cyclones’ disappointing season.

Batman and Robin

From the start of the season, coach Bill Fennelly knew he had to find a second scoring option to go along with Carleton. Was it going to be Burkhall, Durr or a newcomer?

Well it took awhile to find Carleton’s Robin, but Durr certainly didn’t leave Batman hanging. The two became a dynamic duo who, on multiple occasions, willed the Cyclones to victories.

It’s actually quite remarkable when you take a look back at Durr’s Iowa State career. She left New York with a basket of records in tow, only to find a limited role her first season on campus.

From there, the minutes went up, but she was left with an ultimatum — transfer, man the bench or become a star and a leader.

She chose the third option and Cyclone fans should be glad she did. The way she shoots the 3-point ball is second to none and after another talk with Fennelly this season, she went on a tear to close out her career.

In her final 12 games, Durr scored well into double-figures 11 times. A career-high 27 points in the Big 12 finale against Kansas highlighted that stretch.

But it’s also remarkable to see what Durr and Carleton did together. The two accounted for 47 percent of Iowa State’s points this season.

Excuse me while I pick my jaw up from the ground, but that’s a lot of points for two players.

Just imagine what that number would have looked like had Durr played the entire season at the pace she ended it with.

With Durr leaving, Fennelly is back at square one. The Cyclones do get back Madison Wise and regroup with a loaded incoming class.

The future

While the recent past might be dark, the Cyclones’ future is rather bright. They are only losing

two players to graduation and one to transfer. Of the three, Durr was the only one to really make a consistent impact. But that doesn’t mean Ricketts and Kennedy-Hopoate weren’t impactful.

The post struggles Iowa State faced all season long out shined the positives. And with Ricketts and Kennedy-Hopoate leaving, those issues might be magnified even more next season.

Of the four additions to the roster next season, Morgan Kane will be the only one to make a contribution to the post. The Utah native stands around 6-foot-3, joining Burkhall and Scott as the tallest on the roster.

While the height issue will be a hot topic, the offensive capabilities are going to something special.

Of the Cyclones departing, the trio averaged just around 6.8 points per game.

Durr inflated that number, averaging 12.7. However, the four incoming recruits averaged 21.6 points per game at the high school and JUCO levels.

The most heralded of the group is Iowa City, Iowa native Ashley Joens.

Mark my words – when all is said and done, Joens will have her name in the Iowa State women’s basketball record books.

Joens was named Miss Iowa Basketball Player of the Year after averaging 30.7 points and 11.4 rebounds – THAT IS A LOT OF POINTS AND REBOUNDS. Mind you those 11.4 rebounds were not from a post player. I understand that’s at the high school level, but Iowa girls’ high school basketball is no joke.

Ohio native Maddie Frederick also joined Joens as future Cyclones to earn All-State honors.

Frederick was named the Ohio Division II Co-Player of the year after averaging 15.8 points per game.

The final one that will engage in the offensive barrage next season is JUCO transfer Jade Thurmon.

At 5-foot-7, Thurmon won’t be the post answer – duh, Jack.

But she will add a dynamic option for Fennelly after averaging 20.8 points in Texas.

Bottom line is Iowa State will be just fine next season. After all, Carleton is returning and with the talent coming in, winning ways will be back for the Iowa State women’s basketball program.

Oh, and if the talent couldn’t get any better, Alexa Middleton will finally be eligible. And if she lives up to Fennelly’s hype, the Iowa State faithful will be in for something fun.

SUB to host gender-defying comedian

BY EMILY.URBAN @iowastatedaily.com

COURTESY OF ZAINAB JOHNSON Zainab Johnson has a career acting and doing comedy for TV shows including “Last comic Standing” and more. Johnson will preform at 9 p.m. on March 22 at the Maintenance Shop.

Zainab Johnson will be performing at the SUB Comedy Night tonight in the Maintenance Shop in the Memorial Union. The event starts at 9 p.m.

Johnson is known as a comedian and as an actress. Her style has been shaped by her childhood growing up in Harlem in New York City as one of 13 siblings.

Comedy, however, was not her first choice of career.

According to her website, Johnson got a degree in math before stepping into the world of comedy.

“I studied math in school because I was good at it and it seemed practical. After graduating from college, my dad passed away and I thought it best to pursue my dream of being an entertainer (which was

definitely deemed impractical) before it was too late; the whole ‘time is short no regrets thing,’” said Johnson in an interview with That’s Magazine.

Since then, Johnson has performed for HBO’s “All Def Comedy,” NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” BET’s “ComicView,” MTV’s “Acting Out,” AXS TV’s “Gotham Comedy Live!,” “Avant-Guardians” and the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival.

There are assumptions in the world of comedy, according to Johnson’s interview with the Los Angeles Times.

Johnson stated people will assume you will not be able to entertain them, that you won’t be funny.

“I never present myself with the thought or expectations of other people.

I’ve thrived on defying expectations. I had a shaved head and I wore my hair in an afro a lot, so people expect the strong

black woman thing, but I love to say some ratchet shi*t, just so that you understand that nothing — not my hair, not my look, not one particular joke — defines me. I’m a person in the world, and so the way that I approach stand-up is I tell my story,” said Johnson to the Los Angeles Times.

For those looking into a career in comedy, Johnson gave some advice in her interview with the Los Angeles Times.

“I would say stay true to yourself. If you’re the black girl that seems white, that’s just what you are. Or if you’re ghetto, or if your content ain’t really there, but you got show — do what you do, and do it to your best ability. You’re going to get a lot of no’s but you are going to get a couple of yeses, and that’s what matters,” Johnson said.

The Maintenance Shop will open it’s doors at 8:30 this Thursday night for the SUB Comedy Night. The event is free.
