Friday. She scored 39.05 and finished in 13th place. Shealy scored a season-high 9.825 on floor exercise at the semifinal meet. She also scored 9.550 on vault and 9.775 on the uneven bars. Shealy tied a career-high 9.900 on her balance beam routine and came in second place in that event at the semifinal meet. To qualify for the beam fi-
nal, Shealy had to place in the top four of her semifinal including ties. For the semifinal meet, Shealy added a new skill to her beam routine to make it more difficult. She added a Gaynor — a dismount containing a backwards flip while moving forward — in hopes of increasing her score enough to qualify for beam finals. At the event final, Shealy scored
9.8375 on her beam routine, finishing tied for fifth out of nine qualifiers. Florida’s Bridget Sloan won the beam title with a score of 9.900. Shealy earned All-America honors by qualifying for an individual event final. She is the ISU gymnastics team’s first All-American since 2007 and sixth all-time.

Celebration
‘Smooth’ Veishea ends Most citation numbers were down from previous years By Charles.Obrien @iowastatedaily.com Veishea 2013 has come and gone without too many problems compared to past Veishea celebrations marred with memories of riots and injury. This year’s celebration was successful and memorable for all the right reasons.
“Every one of our categories was lower this year except for criminal citations, which were up from last year,” said Sgt. Brad Baker of the Ames Police. According to the Ames Police records, arrests decreased from 62 arrests during Veishea 2012 to 43 arrests during Veishea 2013. Citations, though, slightly increased from 46 people cited last year to 52 this year. The department also had 346 calls, down from 377 calls in 2012. The Ames Police started keeping track of their Veishea weekend statistics at 3 p.m. Friday and

went until 7 a.m. Sunday. Baker stated the drop in arrests was due in part to the proactive efforts of the ISU and Ames Police Departments along with the help of the university. He also highlighted the cold weather as playing a part in the drop. “From what I saw, the weekend started out pretty busy, but then it slowed down and ended up being a pretty smooth Veishea,” Baker said. Baker pointed to the two car flipping incidents

The Graduate and Professional Students Senate will be installing the new executive council members at the Monday meeting. Anna Prisacari, the Senate’s 20132014 president, showed interest in the position in November 2012 while she held another executive council position as the chief information officer. “I really enjoyed working and getting involved with university policies and trying my best to help graduate and professional students,” Prisacari said. Prisacari is a doctorate student in chemistry. Prisacari will be working closely with Brian Tlach, vice president of Graduate and Professional Students Senate, to improve the organization. Tlach is a doctorate student in chemistry. Two main resolutions that
Prisacari and Tlach have for the upcoming term are graduate health insurance and leadership and involvement. For graduate students, premiums are paid by the department or program for teaching and research assistants, Tlach said. The graduate health insurance given to the graduate students, however, is not extended to the families of the students. “The graduate students that are on assisstance-ship have really good health insurance through Thielen [Student Health Center], but unfortunately for the families, it is very costprohibited to have it,” Tlach said. The executive council will work with the Students and Scholar Health Insurance Program Office on this resolution. The second resolution is the council would like graduate and professional students to be more active
