The Graduate and Professional Student Senate addressed concerns regarding a new resolution that would impact future and present graduate and professional students at Iowa State. The executive council presented the Senate Resolution S13–14, which is the promotion of graduate involvement and leadership, at the final meeting of the year on April 22. The resolution was taken both negatively and positively by the senators. The senators voted to table the resolution until fall semester. The purpose of the resolution is to encourage senators to be more involved in leadership positions and make it required for senators to hold a leadership position during their time in the graduate programs at Iowa State. Anna Prisacari, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Senate Executive Council, was involved in the start-up of the resolution. She said she was pleased with the reaction and discussion from the senators about the resolution. The comments from senators will help her to reevaluate the resolution until the fall semester when the resolution will be addressed again by the new senators. Prisacari said the “senators did not disagree with the main idea.” Some senators disagreed with the idea of making leadership positions and community involvement a “mandatory” requirement for

Was Ethos stolen, thrown out? Cover story stirs controversy, possible trouble By Tedi.Mathis @iowastatedaily.com Racks with hundreds of Ethos magazines have been emptied following the week of them hitting campus. Speculations have been made, but no one is sure as to who is behind the act. “Huge stacks of them, full boxes of them were disappearing within minutes, which I would love to say is what usually happens, but it’s not, that’s not what usually happens, they don’t get picked up that fast,” said Devon O’Brien, editor-inchief of Ethos. O’Brien said that the magazines were put out on the evening of April 24 and by the afternoon of April 25, they were being thrown away. She speculated that the magazines were getting thrown out because people do not always agree with its content. “This is probably not the best on our part ... It was just coincidental, that the magazine came out the day before Take Back the Night, which is an event for sexual assault

was not supposed to focus on “that night,” even though she said it is a big part of who he is today. The article in question does not contain any information from, or about, the woman who filed the sexual assault charges against Palo. O’Brien and Gilman both said this is because the name was not released to the media. At this point in time, Dennis Chamberlin, faculty advisor for Ethos, said they
are working to find out what happened to the magazines. “They’re planning on pursuing it,” he said. “The police refused to get involved, even though there have been several successful prosecutions for newspaper theft and magazine theft on campuses across the country.” Ethos has worked to figure out how much money the publication takes to create and how much is being
thrown away. Dan Rediske, financial director for the Government of the Student Body, said that for the 20122103 school year, Ethos was allocated $19,128. “I think it takes about $5,500 or $6,000 to print 2,000 copies,” Gilman said. “I think we all estimate that well over 1,000 [copies] were thrown out or taken off campus, off the stands and done whatever with, so that’s probably about $2,500 at least.”
