the community and wherever they’re at in the community to be that welcoming person and presence,” said Jen Andreas, pastor at Lord of Life Lutheran Church. Andreas said that the reconciliation movement is a little different from denomination to denomination. Both the Lutheran and United Methodist movements require a public statement to be written and displayed in the church’s media.

Multiple churches in Ames welcome LGBT individuals

Candidate Dr. Subhash Sahai approved in 45-5 vote outcome Board of Regents nominees Craig Lang and Robert Cramer, both republicans nominated by Gov. Terry Branstad, have been declined by the Iowa Senate in a vote on Monday. In order to be approved for the board, nominees needed two-thirds Lang support of the Iowa Senate, or 34 votes. In a majority party split vote, Lang was voted against 30-20 and Cramer lost 27-23. Lang, who served as president of the Board of Regents, released a public statement Monday evening regarding the results, saying he respects, yet is disappointed with, the Senate’s Cramer decision. “I am proud of the accomplishments of the Board of Regents during my term,” Lang said in the letter. “I hope the Iowa legislature keeps the needs of our students at the forefront as they consider the Board’s FY2014 operating appropriations request to allow the Board to freeze tuition for the 2013-14 academic year.” Although praised for this accomplishment while serving as president of the Board, Lang has also received criticism over academic freedom at Iowa State because of a previous comment about the Harkin Institute.

Call-a-thon raises record team funds

Club contacts alumni, sponsors for support By Clint.Cole @iowastatedaily.com Sports teams that are not operated as part of the ISU athletic department do not receive funds and must find other ways to support themselves. The ISU hockey team spent four days last week doing that. The team spent Monday through Thursday making calls from the basement of the apartment building on 246 N. Hyland St. to roughly 2,500 Cyclone Hockey alumni and sponsors for its annual Call-a-thon. ISU coach Al Murdoch said in an email that the unofficial pledges tally up to $44,536, which is a new record. Everyone who made calls included the players, marketing team members, pep band members and Murdoch in three shifts between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. each day. “They always pull off the top 20 or 30 donors and have me call them because I’ll ask them for the big bucks,” Murdoch said. The unofficial pledges that Murdoch got himself totaled up to $23,225, Murdoch said in the email. The rest of the unofficial pledges to-
