Answers Attendees at open forum question university’s handling of sexual assaults By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com

“W

who rapes?” “Why hasn’t there been an apology to victims for not doing better?” Iowa State students — some of whom were sexually assaulted or have a close relationship with someone who has — had many questions for a panel of administrators at an open forum in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union Wednesday night about how the university will improve the handling of sexual assault cases. The panel came after the showing of “The Hunting Ground,” a documentary that explores university administrators’ mishandling and perpetuation of sexual assault on college campuses across the nation. Iowa State is currently under investigation by the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights for their handling of a sexual assault case. Administrators taking questions including Dean of Students Pamela Anthony, Director of Judicial Affairs Sara Kellogg, Director of the Department of Public Safety Jerry Stewart and Story County Sexual Assault Response Team coordinator Steffani Simbric. Also in attendance were President Steven Leath, Vice President of Student Affairs Tom Hill and Title IX coordinator Robin Kelley. Chelsea Schmidt, senior in linguistics who requested

The Office of Civil Rights will conduct a site visit, which comes after announcing earlier this year that Iowa State is under investigation after a complaint about the university’s handling of a sexual assault allegation made by an ISU student against another student. Open office times to discuss the university's handling of sexual assault will be available on Tuesday and Wednesday for all other students, faculty, and staff is available if they schedule a 15-minute meeting with Office of Civil Rights representatives. To schedule an individual meeting, contact Sharon Zenor at 294-3577.

and helped organize an open forum with administrators, had three areas of concern. Students lack information about the medical policy for survivors, there is no clear method for mandatory reporting and Iowa State’s sexual assault policy is hard to navigate, Schimdt said. She wants a plan of action. Schmidt said Access Assault Care Center is the best mandatory reporting and advocacy center she knew of for students, and the university does not fund the organization that partners with Iowa State to help victims. Anthony said the university is looking to update policy, it “is not changed over night.” She said university officials have a difficult time getting feedback from students on how policies serve them. Above all, Anthony said administrators need to hear from students on how Iowa State policy treated them and what students would like to see be changed. Kellogg said policy was updated in 2008. “We changed our policy for the first time to be an affirmative consent policy. It was a very broad group of individuals that got together to discuss what our policy should look like and how it should better represent students,” Kellogg

said. “Those conversations have been ongoing and we have made changes and engaged students in conversations since those initial policy changes.” Another student took issue with the the vagueness of the university’s policy and wanted to know the exact punishment students receive if they sexually assault. Schmidt mentioned the number of students expelled in the last five years for sexually assaulting was “dismally low.” Both Anthony and Kellogg said every case is different and must be investigated by the university and decided by a board. “The outcome we are always seeking is supension or expulsion,” Kellogg said of Judicial Affairs. “That is what we’re seeking from the boards. A board ultimately is going to make a decision about what that sanction is.” Meredith Cook, junior in political science and a sexual assault survivor, said she believes the university does not acknowledge some sexual assaults that occur because timely warnings are not sent out to students after every sexual assault is reported. “I just find it very troubling that the university doesn’t acknowledge sexual

assaults are happening here,” Cook said. “People come to me with their stories all the time, and everyone is discouraged from reporting and I think that’s wrong.” Kierstyn Feld, sophomore in architecture, wanted to know if the university would disaffiliate a fraternity that is associated with sexual assault. “I’m curious about the regulations that apply to the students on university affiliated grounds when those rules — if they don’t exist — could be developed,” Feld said. Feld, also a member of Alpha Phi sorority, said there are stereotypes on campus about the greek community. They’re not necessarily true for every member, but “there is a potential for rape in any fraternity or any place where you’ve got a whole bunch of people consuming alcohol,” and wanted to know if a fraternity consistently involved in sexual assault would be disaffiliated. “Absolutely. I would say fraternities and sororities would be held responsible for any violation of the Student Code of Conduct. If there is a reason to expel a fraternity, we would do that if we found enough information to substantiate that sanction,” Anthony said. Feld said she is happy the university is working to establish “a more open relationship” than what was shown in the documentary, but gave the university an overall “C” letter grade on a sexual assault handling report cord. “I don’t see us being exceptionally better than anyone else,” Feld said. “I’m an “A” student. I’d like to see us raise that “C” average to an “A,” Anthony said.

Actually, it is rocket science NASA recognizes ISU aerospace team for achievements in technology competition By Mariah.Griffith @iowastatedaily.com It’s not every day you get congratulated by NASA. The Cyclone Student Launch Initiative Team just finished competing against approximately 20 other university teams in a NASA competition for rocket technologies. The intent is that these technologies could be used by NASA to collect and transport samples from planet Mars back to Earth, and the ISU team performed well enough to receive kudos from the aerospace icon. “They definitely liked our design and it caught a lot of eyes and attention while we were there,” said team leader Jordan Mathews. The annual challenge requires student teams to plan for and build an actual rocket from scratch that is able to perform a specified task. This year, the goal was to load a payload into the rocket, launch the rocket to a zenith of exactly 3,000 feet from a launch pad teams were required to build, eject the payload during the descent at exactly 1,000 feet and land the rocket safely below a certain impact energy. The CySLI team consisted of 19 members, mostly from the aerospace engineering program, who divided the work for building all the rocket and launch

GSB rejects bill requiring Senate time qualifications By Michaela.Ramm @iowastatedaily.com The Government of the Student Body Senate rejected a bill that would have limited students who could serve as senators. The bill failed to pass 24-9 against the measure. The bill required a senator to have been a student at Iowa State for at least a semester before earning a seat on the senate. Several senators were opposed to passing the bill because it would limit experiences brought to the Senate, such as freshmen, transfer and graduate students. Sen. Robert Dunn said passing this bill would basically be giving a giant middle finger to the students. Sen. Zackary Reece said the bill is not an attack on students. “It’s looking at their ability to reach out to their constituents to represent them effectively,” Reece said. “That’s why we’re all here.” Sen. David Moore said students should get experience at Iowa State before serving. “This would still limit freshmen, transfer and graduate students but I don’t think that’s a horrible thing,” Moore said. “Having people represent your constituents who don’t know important things, that’s just irresponsible.” Moore said he believes freshmen are not able to represent their constituents well. “Freshmen are not the best people to represent our constituents,” Moore said. “I’m not here to get people résumé points, I’m here to serve the students.” Sen. Danielle Nygard was elected the first semester of her freshman year. She said she was not knowledgeable about everything, but still learned. “All members of the student body are members of the student government,” Nygard said. “Why are we trying to limit that?” Sen. Cole Button also pointed out he was seated during his first semester of his freshman year. “Being a freshmen has not kept me from being a good representative of my constituents,” Button said. “I don’t see how having one more semester here would change that.” Sen. Adam Guenther pointed out that other Big 12 schools have requirements for their student government senators. Guenther said he ran because he wanted to make a difference with certain problems on campus. “When you have freshmen running, what are they running for?” Guenther said. “They have

pad components among four sub-teams. The autonomous ground support equipment team built the launch pad, avionics managed the computer components, payload built the payload bay and mechanics as well as an innovative air-brake system and the rocket team built the physical rocket. Due to some mechanical malfunctions with the launch pad and a faulty pre-fabricated component called an altimeter, the 10-foot-tall CySLI rocket did not complete all of the challenge components successfully, making them ineligible for the $25,000 challenge grand prize. However, the majority of the design components worked

flawlessly and can be incorporated into rockets for future challenges. This was the first time the Iowa State team competed in a NASA challenge, and thanks in part to the coveted air-brake system CySLI built, their rocket reached the third best altitude despite mechanical setbacks. The rocket came within 70 feet of the target height, and was bested only by the two teams that completed all of the challenge components. The CySLI team also received an award for making the best looking rocket due to a sleek design and paintjob done by club sponsor Maaco Collision Repair.

CySLI had significant help from club mentor Gary Stroick, owner of Off We Go Rocketry, who has helped guide the club for the last couple years. “He’s had a lot of experience, so a lot of the team would end up calling him whenever we needed help,” said payload team leader Bryan Sullivan. “Trying to apply classroom knowledge to actually building something takes a little bit of work. It’s always nice to have someone help guide you along the way.” Overall, the CySLI rocket performed very well and outperformed most teams in flight and payload delivery.

Cy-Hawk trophy stays in Ames, ISU softball wins in Iowa City

toxication at Lot D4 (reported at 11:06 p.m.).

By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com

April 14 An individual reported the theft of a bike at Physics Hall (reported at 12:03 p.m.). An officer investigated a property damage collision at Lot B6 (reported at 1:19 p.m.). An individual reported a tax related fraud at Armory (reported at 1:26 p.m.). An individual reported the theft of a bike at Friley Hall (reported at 4:02 p.m.). An individual reported being harassed by an acquaintance at Armory (reported at 4:53 p.m.). An officer responded to a small fire in an outdoor garbage can at Music Hall (reported at 11:58 p.m.). An officer assisted a resident who was experiencing emotional difficulties at Willow Hall (reported at 11:52 p.m.).

The ISU softball team won its first game in Iowa City in 12 years on Wednesday, but the Cyclones’ success added up to a much larger and more historic victory. It took until the final matchup of the season, but the ISU win locked up the Cy-Hawk Series title

for the Cyclones. The annual competition between the rival schools spans the spectrum of athletic programs and even encompasses an element of academics. Iowa State claimed the series 15-11, earning a second consecutive Cy-

Hawk victory. It is the first time in series history that either school has repeated as champion. Had the ISU softball team lost in Iowa City, the schools would have ended the 2014-15 series in a 13-13 tie. Iowa State notched notable victories against Iowa in men’s basketball, football and volleyball. The Cyclones suffered notable losses in women’s basketball and wrestling.

Global Food Consortium returns to ISU

Leaders arrive in Ames to discuss world hunger By Allison.Luety @iowastatedaily.com

One in 7 people in the world go to bed hungry and malnourished. A worldwide initiative hosted at Iowa State addressed solutions to the international crises through global collaboration. For the second year running, Iowa State’s Seed Science Center hosts the Global Food Security Consortium, a worldwide initiative that combines holistic, interdisciplinary and new methods to problems surrounding food safety. “The Global Food Consortium believes that a child who does not eat or is malnourished, does not learn, does not laugh, cannot grow,” said Manjit Misra, director of ISU’s Seed Science Center and chair of the Global Food Security Consortium. “The consortium is dedicated to solving this grand challenge through partnerships.” Speakers at this year’s event include Arlene Mitch-

Hochul Kim/Iowa State Daily

The Global Food Security conference took place at Gateway Hotel in Ames on Tuesday and Wednesday. Iowa State’s Seed Science Center hosted the second annual event and the purpose was to address solutions to world hunger.

ell, executive director of the Global Child Nutrition Foundation, John Bowman, senior agricultural adviser with the United States Agency for International Development Bureau for Food Security and Sara Lilygren, executive vice president of corporate affairs for Tyson Foods, Inc. Leaders in the agricultural industry flocked from across the world to attend the consortium, from Honduras to Washington, D.C. “Our symposium will

provide an important forum for some of the brightest and best to come together to collectively think outside the box,” said Max Rothschild, Charles F. Curtiss Distinguished Professor of Agriculture and Life Sciences and co-director of the consortium. The consortium was kicked off by Mitchell, who spoke about the nutrition gap in children across the world. He said undernutrition affects 800 million in the world today, while over-

nutrition affects more than 1.4 billion people. Mitchell questioned if American agriculture was too narrowly focused on food and calories, yield and productivity, producing maize, wheat and rice. “More than half of the worlds harvested agriculture areas are devoted to cereal crops, corn, wheat and maize primarily,” Mitchell said. “We search for a way to bring agriculture and nutrition together and we haven’t done a very good

job of it.” Anthony Hansen, senior in biology and animal science, attended the consortium for a class assignment, however was excited to hear speaker John Bowman. “This is part of an assignment for animal science 441X. In that class, we talk about food security for developing countries,” Hansen said. “I’m most looking forward to John Bowman. He is very interactive with college students.”

After Bowman spoke, Hansen hoped to get a chance to talk to him about his experiences with food security overseas. Bowman, who has 30 years of experience in horticulture, nutrition and agriculture research, has worked on projects in 40 countries. His talk focused on three international collaborations that incorporate horticulture to tackle nutrition. “Farmers are facing drought, high temp and unpredictable weather. We have to give them better resilience,” Bowman said. “These challenges are all met very well by sustainable programs in horticulture. You get income generation, diversification of the staple crops, you can do intensive farming.” Professionals from Heifer International, global companies and 50 professors at land grant universities are all involved in the Global Food Consortium. With hopes to collaborate with all reaches of agricultural professionals, the consortium continues to work toward diminishing hunger and malnutrition. “In essence, we are the hunger fighters of the world,” Misra said.

Governor attends ROTC ceremony to recognize cadets for excellence By Kelly.McGowan @iowastatedaily.com Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds attended the annual Governor’s ROTC Award ceremony Tuesday at the Iowa State Capitol. Ten awards were presented to cadets and a midshipman from ROTC programs in Iowa for academic, military and character excellence. “These are great young

men across the board,” said Lt. Col. Richard Smith, professor and chair of the military science and tactics department. “Every one of these kids that the governor recognized is just outstanding.” Smith presented Army ROTC awards to Cyclone Battalion cadets Tanner Hildebrand, senior in computer engineering; Matthew Hanson of Buena Vista University and Jesse Parker of Drake University.

Daniel Buhr, executive officer of Naval ROTC, presented an award to Naval ROTC midshipman Matthew Sindelar, senior in mechanical engineering. Awardees received a plaque, coin and the Gen. George Washington Cam-

paign Cup. Replicas of this traditional cup have been used since the Revolutionary War to acknowledge leadership and service. Smith said this recognition goes hand in hand with the Home Base Iowa Act and Iowa’s commitment to service men and women. “They are showing these people that Iowa really does appreciate what you do,” Smith said.

n an attempt to foster further growth in the new relationship between the United States and Cuba, President Obama issued a report to Congress, detailing his intent to remove the island nation from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, a list that as of 2014 only included three other nations: Iran, Sudan and Syria. The list is by no means arbitrary, as the nations named on it are automatically subject to numerous economic sanctions and trade embargos. Cuba met the requirements for removal, as reported by the Miami Herald, because “it had not provided support for international terrorism during the preceding six months and Cuba had provided assurances that it would not support acts of international terrorism in the future.” Removing Cuba from this list was cited as a critical step by Cuban President Raúl Castro. Cuba will remain on the list for another 45 days, so as long as the Cuban government doesn’t sponsor any foreign coups until at least June, they should be in the clear. While I believe that removing Cuba from the list is a good — but more importantly, correct — move because they were placed on the list in the early 1980s, the ease with which it seems a country can get itself off of the list is a little off-putting. Six months of good behavior is not exactly an indication of a behavioral change. Hell, it takes most people more than six months to get off of telemar-

keting call lists (as an aside, can we get telemarketers onto the terrorism list?) For being such a serious list, it seems rather easy to be erased from it. For example, even if Congress rejects Obama’s proposal — which, given the two parties’ less than stellar record for cooperation, is very possible — their dissent and any action taken to keep Cuba on the list can be (will be) vetoed by President Obama, leading to a whole lot of political posturing and other generally frustrating time wasting political techniques. Secretary of State John Kerry said Cuba was “originally designated as a state sponsor of terrorism because of its efforts to promote armed revolution by forces in Latin America.” I seem to remember a different nation interfering in Latin America by supporting and funding revolutionary groups. Specifically in Nicaragua, specifically the Contras. The United States funded revolutionary groups more recently than we put Cuba on the state sponsors of terrorism list. Not only did the Reagan administration technically commit high treason by selling weapons to Iran — a nation that would then be on the state sponsors of terrorism list in 1984 — but it used the profits to do exactly what we had been condemning Cuba for doing. Additionally, Syria and Sudan, the two unmentioned nations on the list, have their own reasons for being odd to have on the list. Syria is now a nation that is more concerned about being terrorized (by ISIS) than it is with supporting terrorism, and Sudan, placed on the list in

1993, has since broken into two different nations. While one of those nations is still Sudan, could we at least reaffirm their spot on the list, if only for my own understanding? This list is completely useless. Not only for the countries on it, but for those that are not as well. North Korea was on the list, but was removed even though the Asian nation attacked American Internet services less than six months ago — and even in that case, it appears the U.S. government was hacking them first. Iran will most likely be the next to come off, even though they are currently supporting the Houthis and Shia groups in Yemen to make sure al-Qaeda forces do not take control of the embattled nation. How can the U.S. make nuclear deals and ease sanctions on a nation that is on the state sponsors of terror list? In short, we can’t, but because the Iranian nuclear deal is the best possible solution anyone has had for limiting Iran’s nuclear capabilities, the plan should not be stopped. Iran’s supreme leader may very well look to Cuba’s removal from the state sponsors of terror list and say, “I’ll have what he’s having.” The list, in its entirety, should be scrapped. If it meant something of significance at one point in time, that time is long passed. The United States can certainly continue to restrict the abilities of “dangerous” nations to do business on the international level, but that new list should be a little less outdated and a lot less hypocritical.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Conservatives are losing steam for a reason, right wing refuses to listen By Michael Gregory, University of Iowa School of Social Work In response to Robert Dunn’s Letter to the Editor, “Conservatism continues despite struggles.” Politics is not a war. I do not assume that you can and are able to speak for all conservatives but this continues to be the issue with the conservative agenda. You are not in a war! To compare

the plight of conservatives to D-Day is irresponsible and disrespectful to everyone who was there that day. Conservatives have put themselves in this position. It appears that it is quite clear what has happened to conservatives on college campuses today. Students and staff associated with colleges have been educated. The “leftist dogma” you refer to is codified in documents such as Student Codes of Conduct

and Handbooks on campuses across the nation because it is best practice and ensures that everyone is treated equitably across all sectors of the university setting. Instead of attempting to bring people back to the “truth” why don’t you listen to what everyone is attempting to teach you? Racism, sexism and homophobia are all real things. People have to deal with these issues on a daily basis.

Why wouldn’t a university attempt to stop these acts of hate and/or ignorance before they happen? Everyone should be protected from discrimination, oppression and marginalization. So if the “leftist dogma” you refer to is what protects students in university code then I say bring on the “political correctness” and “leftist dogma” and let everyone be free to be who they are with the protection of the university.

In the wake of the tentatively agreed upon Iranian nuclear agreement in which Iran will limit its nuclear capabilities and research while having international economic sanctions eased, Russia has lifted its ban of S-300 missile systems (a defensive, surface-to-air missile system) on the Middle Eastern nation. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, “We are convinced that at this stage, there’s no more need of such an embargo, Russia’s separate voluntary embargo,” in a statement to Tass, a Russian news organization. In short, Russia feels the new trade sanctions to be imposed on Iran, should the nuclear proposal be finalized and approved by the June deadline, make additional sanctions from outside of the agreement unnecessary. Russia and Iran say they have only defensive purposes and cannot be used in offensive pursuits. While the surfaceto-air missiles can only be used in defense, the missile systems could be used to defend Iranian nuclear facilities should the United States, it’s allies or any other nation decide to attempt to destroy the facilities by means of airstrike. Israeli Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz released a statement regarding the pending sales to Iran, saying “Even as Iran disavows article after article in the framework agreement that was announced last week, the international community is beginning to ease restrictions on it. This is the direct result of the legitimacy that Iran is receiving from the nuclear deal being made with it.” Israeli leadership has been critical of the Iranian nuclear deal from the very start of the talks, most powerfully evidenced by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s irregular visit to Congress in which he expressed his critical view of the proposed agreement. For its part, the United States has also criticized the move. State Department officials said in a press conference that it is not “constructive at this time for Russia to move forward with this.” This development could lead to increased tension among all involved parties when the United States, Iran, Russia and other international powers meet again on Tuesday to work out the finer details of the nuclear deal. Russia and Iran may have become fast friends due to Russia’s recent economic troubles brought on by sharp drops in oil prices. Iran has the resources and therefore the potential to be a major exporter. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Iran has the world’s fourth largest crude oil reserves and the second largest natural gas reserves, but the strict international sanctions have hit the Iranian oil industry hard. This potential quid pro quo arrangement leaves both nations better off, but gives other world leaders, especially in the United States, reason for concern. Iran is fully within its rights to purchase the missile defense systems, but the framework of the deal relies heavily on the West’s ability to strictly monitor Iran’s nuclear program. Obviously the insertion of an advanced surface-to-air defense system makes that a much more difficult task. Additionally, the United States rather enjoys a struggling Russian economy that cannot easily assert its influence internationally due to domestic concerns. This maneuvering by Russia and Iran is troublesome, but falls completely within all current sanctions, so the United States will either have to live with this new reality or discuss the use of the missile systems with Iran when nuclear talks continue next week. All of the progress that could be made for international safety, cooperation and Middle Eastern stability will be for not if Iran can sidestep or otherwise ignore every new restriction. In these situations, compromise is necessary and inevitable, but the importance of these talks and their potential outcome are worth doing the hard work that comes along with diplomacy, and we must always bear in mind that any peaceful solution is preferable to the violent alternative.

Outback Attack Australian golfer Daley finds success in the Heartland

Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily

Senior golfer Sam Daley works on his swing during practice on Tuesday. Daley plans to pursue a professional golf career in Australia and Asia once he graduates from Iowa State next month.

By Mike.Randleman @iowastatedaily.com Four years ago, Sam Daley couldn’t have told the difference between Iowa State and Ohio State. Cyclones, for all he knew, were just extreme weather events. He may have lacked the parochial knowledge about his future school, but all the aspiring professional golfer from Wynnum, Australia, needed to commit to Iowa State was the strong personal connection he formed with ISU coach Andrew Tank. “I looked into it and looked at a few universities but it didn’t really go anywhere,” Daley said of the recruiting process. “Tank was really keen and it went from there. We kept talking, skyped a couple times. He came out and watched me play at events, and we had a face-to-face meeting. He’s a nice dude, Tank.” In 2011, Tank already planned to recruit in Australia and had Daley on his radar, but he came into some luck in ramping up his recruitment. John Hemstock, a former player of Tank’s in his

Sam Daley Year: Senior Hometown: Wynnum, Australia Major: Finance Notes and Accomplishments: Has five career top-10 finishes, including a runner-up at the 2014 Big 12 Championship; places in the top five in ISU time as assistant coach at the University of Minnesota, happened to be the assistant club professional at Daley’s home course, Wynnum Golf Club. “John was someone I know and I trust who was able to say that Sam was a good player, a good kid, someone to look at,” Tank said. “I think likewise he was able to tell Sam and his family a little bit about me. So I think that was helpful to kind of get it going.” From that point on, Daley was sold on Iowa State, and more specifically, on Tank. “I came over here and I knew Tank,” Daley said. “I had never heard of Iowa. I pronounced the s’s in Des Moines. I just threw myself in the deep end, but I’m so glad I did it.”

Daley was also fuzzy with the names of his future teammates who joined him in his recruiting class. “I thought there was one guy coming in called Scott Duncan,” Daley said with a laugh in recollecting his combination of Scott Fernandez’ and Duncan Croudis’ names. “I didn’t know who they were. I still call [Fernandez] Duncan sometimes just to mess with him.” Regardless who was joining him to play at Iowa State, Daley knew he was headed to Ames, albeit with some uncertainty as to when his collegiate career would begin. Initially, Daley planned to spend a year attending college in Australia, but the prospect of immediate playing time and

history in low 18-hole round, low 54-hole tournament total and career scoring average; earned Academic All-Big 12 honors in 2013 and 2014; competed in every event during his four years as a starter and played cricket and rugby in high school.

the ability to jumpstart his progression as a golfer was enough for him to “suck it up,” as Daley described it, and head to Ames right away. “I hit the ground running and just got into university life and everything was great,” Daley said. “It just went by really quick. The first year was good, second year was a bit of a struggle, then after that it just kept getting better and better. Now it’s really sad I’m leaving, really.” Daley is not the only one lamenting his impending departure. As a four-year starter, Daley was part of a recruiting class featuring redshirt junior Collin Foster and senior Scott Fernandez that helped lift the program to a perennial NCAA tourna-

ment team, one that was no longer stymied by the disadvantages that come with being a northern program. From his boisterous personality off the course to his on-course career that has produced five top-10 finishes, including placing runner-up at the 2014 Big 12 Championship, Daley has left a legacy at Iowa State that will prove difficult to replicate. “He’s charismatic, for sure,” Foster said with a grin. “He’s a natural leader and he’s always fun to be around. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in a truly bad mood. He’s a spark for this team and he’s certainly going to be missed.” After Daley’s ISU career comes to a close next month, he has his immediate post-graduation sights

set on giving it a go as a professional golfer in Australia and Asia before attempting to qualify for the Web.com Tour in the U.S next year. “I’ll probably pursue it for the next three to five years,” Daley said of his professional golf plans. “I’ll work my ass off to get where I want to go.” As of Wednesday, Daley checks in as the No. 402 amateur in the World Golf Rankings and the No. 407 golfer in the Golfweek NCAA individual rankings. He is a fixture in the ISU record books, where he is in the top five in low 18-hole round, low 54-hole tournament and career stroke average, but lacks the elite pedigree of the prototypical professional. Whether his golf dreams come to fruition or he decides to put his degree in finance to use, the fun-loving Aussie will be content with wherever his journey takes him. “If golf doesn’t work out, as long as I can look myself in the mirror and say I gave it everything I’ve got, then I’ll be happy with everything,” Daley said. “I’ll have a good life regardless of if I’m playing golf.”

Women’s track, field acquires experience in less important meets By Kyle.Heim @iowastatedaily.com A first attempt at understanding the ISU women’s track and field schedule is as difficult as being in two places at the same time. It’s not a baseball schedule loaded with games nearly everyday of the summer, but it contains a wide range of meets that are spread across the

country, including some on the same day in different locations. But what’s even more unique than having up to three meets on the same day is there are some meets on the schedule that provide little to no importance to the team. “It is not [important],” said ISU associate head coach Fletcher Brooks in reference to the Jim Duncan Invitational on Saturday. “In level of im-

portance, it would be very much toward the bottom.” Why does the team compete in meets that resemble little meaning? “I think of it almost as a very focused practice because it is competition, so the athletes come and they’re very focused but my expectations are not as high as far as what we’re doing,” Brooks said. “[We sent] people who we thought would benefit from coming out and competing,

despite the fact that we’re training through it.” There was no question the athletes who competed benefited from the competition. Junior sprinter/hurdler Alyssa Gonzalez finished first in the 400-meter hurdles, setting a personal record. Redshirt seniors Anna Holtermann and Kayla Sanborn, and redshirt freshman Katie Reeves each added top-five performances in field events. “I don’t really look at the meets as one’s more important than the other,” Gonzalez said. “It’s more just each one’s kind of a step to a bigger race. It’s more just trying to improve my time [and] trying to fix the little things.” Gonzalez not only improved her performance in the 400-meter hurdles, but

also got the opportunity to compete at Drake — the same location of the Drake Relays. After only four athletes competed at the Jim Duncan Invitational, there will be a larger group competing in the upcoming weekend’s events. The team’s schedule lists the Mt. SAC Relays, Kansas Relays and LSU Alumni Gold for this week’s slate. One of the most anticipated outdoor debuts for Iowa State will take place at the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif., as redshirt senior Katy Moen prepares to compete in her first outdoor race of her final season at Iowa State. “[The meets before Big 12s] are fairly important just to get some experience and get some fast times in hopefully to qualify for regionals,” Moen said. “With

Big 12s, you never know if it will be a fast race since it’s usually strategic. But just getting in the experience is invaluable at Big 12s.” While the focus of the team remains on the Big 12 Outdoor Championships, NCAA Regionals and NCAA Championships, the smaller meets carry more weight than just a name on the schedule. “Obviously [the meets leading up to the Big 12 Outdoor Championship] are not as important as the big meets,” said senior shot putter Christina Hillman. “Big 12s is important, regionals is important to get to nationals, but nationals is what I’m trying to peak for. It’s just a way to get competitions under my belt, so I can get more experience, especially with the discus. It’s another component of training.”

Players maintain legacy of Cap Timm Field with mindful caretaking By Jack.MacDonald @iowastatedaily.com Club sports often get the short end of the stick when it comes to athletic facilities. An exception, however, is the ISU baseball club, which has inherited Cap Timm Field — once named the best playing surface in the Big 12 Baseball Conference. It was 2001 when the ISU baseball program last played an NCAA sanctioned game at Cap Timm. Due to budget cuts, the university had to cut the program and ultimately handed the field over to the club baseball team. The complex is named after Leroy C. “Cap” Timm. Timm was the longest tenured coach in the program’s history after holding the head coaching position from 1937 to 1974, and helped the Cyclones reach the College World Series twice. Timm did however take a leave of absence from 1942 to 1946 in order to serve in the U.S. Military. “We take great pride in this field with all of the history that comes with it,” said Elliot Frey, ISU club baseball president. “Rec services and our guys take great care of this field.”

Brent Cunningham, who is employed by Recreation Services, is the primary caretaker of the field. Cunningham, who graduated with a degree in turfgrass in 2005, is one of the biggest reasons Cap Timm Field is one of the nicest playing surfaces in the National Club Baseball Association. The many tasks Cunningham and his team face while taking care of the field include mowing, fertilizing, aerating and pulling weeds from the playing surface. “My team and I do most of the major tasks, but the baseball club does a great job of doing the little things like taking care of the dirt and such,” Cunningham said. Sophomores Justin Kelm and Matt Odland are two of the biggest contributors on the field. The two spend time after every practice and game to get the field to where it needs to be. “Having a good field is great. If you’re playing a nice field, then you are going to want to play really good baseball as a team,” Odland said. Odland, a catcher, takes great pride in the home plate area. A typical day of fieldwork requires filling in the holes left in the batters box by filling it with

clay. He will then soak the clay with water and tamp it down in order to secure the clay into dirt. Odland also rakes the infield prior to it being dragged. “My high school coach would always say, ‘do we want junk field or a nice field?’” Kelm said. “ He really taught us the importance of having a nice field.” Kelm quickly caught on and from then on took great pride in any field he played on. Once Kelm got to Iowa State he quickly saw that no one really worked on the field and took it upon himself to change that. After a lot of work, the field has turned into Kelm and Odland’s sanctuary. Jeff Mallas, who has been volunteering for the baseball club for several years, is also a big contributor to the fieldwork. Mallas puts in several hours a day at the field and seems to know everything to know about fieldwork. “Jeff is a big help to our team. He at the field hours before everyone else and brings an atmosphere to the team that really lightens the mood,” Frey said. While the field is already one of the nicest in the region, several players have commented on some additions they would like to

see in the future. A popular one was a new backstop and new grass around the pitchers mound. “It’s just great to show off our field to opposing

teams, friends, family and the students,” Kelm said. For now, Cap Timm Field will have to move on without any additions, but either way, the field is

something to be proud of. Filled with history, the Cyclones look to add a little more history this year and bring back some hardware to Cap Timm Field.

Choir receives company for performance By Haley.Brase @iowastatedaily.com The Good Company and Achieving Maximum Potential stand side by side, harmonizing not only with each other’s voices but with the problems they may face every day. They encourage everyone to be as open as the groups are when they sing. The Good Company and the AMP, Achieving Maximum Potential, girls perform “My Love and I” at 7 p.m. Sunday at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Ames. The Good Company is an all-women’s, auditioned choir that was formed in 1993 by Andy North. “One of the founding members, Andy North, had been in a choir like this before. She came to Ames and she was missing it, so she asked if there was interest and there was,” said Laurie Hoifeldt, singer and wife of director Steven Hoifeldt. Laurie is also a part of Ames Choral Society, which is a men and women choir, but according to Laurie, she thinks there is more responsibility to being a part of The Good Company, since it is an auditioned group. “I have never been in just a women’s choir. The sound is different and I like the variety of music that’s available. We do a wide variety — renaissance, medieval, super contemporary odd things, jazz [and] Broadway — there’s quite a range,” Hoifeldt said. Part of The Good Company’s mission is to get the community involved. Ellen Rasmussen is the president of the board for The Good Company, and she was the one who approached the AMP girls a

The AMP program is a youth driven group centered around helping foster and adoptive children in Iowa get involved with leadership, service and speaking opportunities to become independent adults. “I had the idea because [I have] some personal experience with YSS, Youth and Shelter Services, to get a hold of them and see if there was [a] way we could connect with some of the girls who are receiving services from them,” Rasmussen said. “Their director, George Belitsos, put me in touch with Ruth [Buckels] who runs the statewide program.” The members of The Good Company volun teered to sing with the AMP program.

“They [AMP program] were the ones that picked this particular group. We simply went to them and said we really want to reach out to young girls, young women because we think there is a lot of power in music, there’s a lot of power of healing in music, it can build self-confidence, it can build self-esteem,” Rasmussen said. I guess the way we thought about is if we could help these girls understand that they could do something that they haven’t ever thought that they could do, that might translate into some other part of their life.” Together, The Good Company and the AMP girls share notes on the page, but also enjoy the time spent together. “The range of their personalities, how kind they are, how caring their feedback is and just the way that they approach you about

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP ADVICE: Ready or Not? By Emily.Barske @iowastatedaily.com Being ready for something is a very personal issue, especially when it comes to relationships. The 30 Daily Dates experiment provided an experience for daters to learn what makes them ready for a relationship. Ashley labeled Matthew “30 Daily Dates dude”

throughout the experiment when talking to her friends and family. Ashley told her friends they were dating and Matthew would tell his friends he had a date with Ashley. Matthew’s friends called Ashley “30 Daily Dates girl.” Being ready for a new relationship, or a new stage of a relationship, takes time and careful consideration. “It would take longer

JOURNAL entrIes: What advice do you have for those pursuing relationships? Matthew: “Have fun; don’t take things too seriously. If they were my age I would tell them, you’re 20 something years old, you still have a whole life to live before you have to figure out what you want to do. Be yourself and if people don’t like you for you, then it doesn’t matter. You’ll find someone else. It’s a big world out there.” Ashley: “Definitely plan dates that are fun, that show different qualities and characteristics between you guys, because that’s when you really get to know a person.” How do you know if you’re ready for a relationship? Matthew: “Being comfortable with who you are as a person is a big thing before you go into a relationship. Otherwise you’re going to be depending on that person to discover who you are. You have to find out if they’re ready to be in a relationship. It’s life; you’re never sure of anything. But you don’t remember the moments in life that were boring.”

than the experiment allows to establish a deep connection that could last,” Matthew said. There is no set amount of time to decide whether you are ready for a relationship. It’s something each couple and individual has to determine for themselves. See what Matthew and Ashley discussed about what it means to be ready for a relationship below.

Matthew & Ashley

How much should you sacrifice to make a relationship work? Ashley: “It’s all about the compromise — which I know, duh, it’s relationships — but you have to figure out what parts you’re willing to compromise. You definitely shouldn’t compromise your values for someone else. It’s about making sure you communicate with the other person and figure out what you both want in life, and then trying to figure out a way to get what you both want together.” What did you learn about relationships from this experience? Matthew: “For me, it’s really important to get to know someone, but not spend every second of every day with them. I need my own personal space, and we can’t be dependent on each other to be somebody. We have to be independent people who share something together.” Ashley: “Quality time is very important — be open and enjoy the time you have now. Don’t be so worried about the future.”

After sorting out your own feelings about sex, discuss them with your partner. Are you prepared to have sex?

(Here’s a great guide for choosing: bedsider.org/methods) -Make an appointment with Student Health or your health care provider to discuss contraception (All the info you need is at cyclonehealth.org) •Are you aware of how sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are spread and how to recognize symptoms? -You have the right to ask your partner questions about his/her sexual history. Remember – these questions should be approached in a sensitive manner and should be asked before you’re in the bedroom! -If either of you are at risk, make an appointment at Student Health to get checked for STIs before you begin a sexual relationship. •Sex doesn’t just mean intercourse, and STIs can be passed along in a variety of ways. (More information than you ever thought you needed to know about STIs can be found at cdc.gov/std/) -Use condoms to protect against STIs. Have an extra (or two!) in case one breaks. •Are you willing to take the risk of a possible pregnancy? Have you considered what you would do if there was a pregnancy? -Be aware that emergency contraception (Plan B) is available over the counter at Student Health’s pharmacy if you need it! Once you’ve gone through the decisionmaking process and prepared yourselves – then enjoy!

GSB p1 no idea of issues on campus.â&#x20AC;? Sen. Cole Staudt pointed out the organization just changed the name to Student Government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still paying their activity fee and they have every right to serve here if they want,â&#x20AC;? Staudt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have no right to say they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it because we think they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absurd to say a freshmen canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know enough.â&#x20AC;? Moore said the bill was not about the rebrand, but about representing constituents. Nygard said she believed it is the constituentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to choose who is most qualified. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to limit constituency councils, I believe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discrimination,â&#x20AC;? Nygard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to close off the students.â&#x20AC;? The Senate also passed a resolution supporting gender neutral

housing 29-2. Moore pointed out that the resolution was not making anything happen but rather supporting the movement. Moore also pointed out that the Department of Residence has been working on a project for this issue. The Senate also elected senators as committee heads and named senators as members of several committees. Adelai Swanson was confirmed as a member of the executive cabinet as the director of ISU Ambassadors. Sen. Matthew Teubert was seated on the CyRide Board of Trustees. Hamad Abbas, finance director, was also the executive nomination to the board, which the Senate confirmed. The Senate also seated members of the diversity committee, the finance committee, the public relations committee and the university affairs committee.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really glad our rocket didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blow up on the pad because a lot of them went up about 10 feet and something bad happened,â&#x20AC;? said Ryan Ringsred, who led the avionics portion of the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really happy with our brakes but I was not so happy with the altimeter.â&#x20AC;? Still, CySLI members expressed enthusiasm and excitement to use these problems as experience to improve on in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of the team members are incredibly passionate about what we do and I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one thing that keeps us going,â&#x20AC;? said Mengyu â&#x20AC;&#x153;Allenâ&#x20AC;? Wang. Wang estimated that thousands of man hours were put into the final product between submitting and reviewing reports to NASA and actually building the rocket itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It you love rockets, if you love building, if you love to solve problems, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the group for you,â&#x20AC;? Wang said.

Jordan Mathews said future projects will most likely yield the most applicable experience for students studying mechanical engineering, industrial engineering or aerospace engineering, and the club is open to students of any year of classification. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making a huge push to keep the group going strong and to keep Iowa Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name on the map in terms of rocketry for next year,â&#x20AC;? Mathews said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best part is always the launch. You build up all this excitement over the course of two semesters, and finally once all those months of hard work are done, you get to go launch and go to a competition with your team.â&#x20AC;? CySLI is funded by the Make to Innovate program through the Iowa State Aerospace Engineering department. This program funds a variety of projects with the goal of helping engineering students apply their classroom knowledge to physical applications before graduation.
