Compensation for the speak-er and vice speaker of the Govern-ment of the Student Body Senate was the main topic of discussion of the senate meeting last night, which ultimately failed in a vote.

GSB voted on a bill that would compensate those serving in the roles of the speaker and vice speaker of the senate. The bill would give a half scholarship, which is equal to in-state tuition,

as well as a parking pass to the speaker. The vice speaker would receive a parking pass.

Abhijit Patwa, finance direc-tor, said GSB’s budget last year was $175,000 and 10 percent was used for internal affairs.

“Students don’t pay fees, so we sit here and spend money on ourselves,” Patwa said.

Vice Speaker Dan Breitbarth said Speaker Gabe Walsh easily puts in 10 hours of work a week, and it takes a lot of patience and time to do his job.

Walsh said the bill would not

affect him, but he was in favor of passing the bill.

“There’s not always going to be someone willing to do this role,” Walsh said. “Why would someone want to put in that time if they won’t be compensated for it? We’re just asking to get a little bit of compensation for putting in a heck of a lot of time.”

Patwa said the executive and judicial branches is just as impor-tant as legislative branch.

“We need to draw the line,” Patwa said. “Everyone works hard, but we don’t need to pay everyone

to make them accountable.”Sen. Ryan Starn pointed out

that no senator is compensated.“If you want to be speaker,

you should be willing to accept those demands and be treated the same as a senator,” Starn said.

Sen. David Moore III said the scholarships are given because students can’t hold a job and ful-fill the duties they need to.

Moore said with this com-pensation there may be a larger accountability from the speaker.

For some, greek life at Iowa State carries a stigma of alcohol consumption and constant partying, but

students might not know that there’s a large difference between campus sororities and fraterni-ties, and even between individual chapters, regarding alcohol poli-cies.

According to the Collegiate Panhellenic Council, the orga-nization governing the national panhellenic sorority chapters on campus, alcohol is strictly for-bidden in any sorority housing or on chapter grounds. Likewise, sororities are not allowed to co-sponsor events where alcohol may be present.

Fraternities, however, are governed under the campus Interfraternity Council, which designates three categories of fraternity housing: wet, dry and damp.

According to the IFC bylaws, alcohol-permitted housing, also called “wet” housing, allows the posses-sion and consumption of al-cohol on chapter property for people of legal age, as well as

for registered events.In alcohol-restricted, or

“damp” housing, registered events with alcohol are not al-lowed on chapter property, but al-cohol can be consumed on-site. A “dry” or alcohol-prohibited house doesn’t allow consumption or possession of alcohol at any time.

Out of the 30 fraternity chap-ter houses on campus, only seven are considered “wet,” including

Alpha Kappa Lambda, Alpha Tau Omega, Delta Tau Delta, Lambda Chi Alpha, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Sigma Pi, accord-ing to the Office of Greek Affairs’ 2014 greek magazine.

James McConnell, presi-dent of Sigma Phi Epsilon, said his chapter follows a set of strict guidelines from the Office of Greek Affairs in order to maintain its alcohol-permitted status.

“Being a wet house is like being in your own home,” Mc-Connell said. “But it’s heavily enforced at our house that under 21 you can’t drink.”

Of Sigma Phi Epsilon’s 91 members, 47 live in the fraternity house and members are permit-ted to have outside guests. Every-one is allowed to drink alcohol on-site, provided they are of legal drinking age.

However, just like in most wet fraternities, members un-der the legal drinking age are still able to live in the house. Half of the frater-nity’s in-house members are younger than 21.

Risk management is something McConnell considers to be of the “utmost importance.” Preventing accidents, as well as taking good care of their chapter house, means having strict alcohol pol-icies.

The Department of Home-land Security is heading for a shutdown Friday if lawmakers on Capitol Hill cannot agree on how to fund the agency that deals with counterterrorism operations.

Until Tuesday, Republicans in both the House and Senate, including the leadership, have sought to tie a measure undoing President Obama’s executive ac-tion in immigration, which would shield millions from deportation to funding of the Department of Homeland Security.

The debate goes back to mid-December, when Congress nar-rowly averted a shutdown by pass-ing a $1 trillion budget just hours before its deadline.

By a narrow vote, the budget was approved, but it only funded the Department of Homeland Security for about three months, a move Republicans said would allow them time to come up with a strategy to deal with the im-migration announcement from November.

The Department of Home-land Security includes immigra-tion operations like the United States Border Patrol.

Iowa Gov. Terry Brans-tad wasted no time signing an increase to the state’s gasoline tax Wednesday, less than 24 hours after it passed the Iowa legislature.

Branstad’s office said Wednesday morning that the governor had signed Senate File 257, the 10-cent increase, into law. The in-crease takes effect this Sun-day, March 1.

The bil l passed the Iowa Senate Tuesday morn-ing, 28-21, and later in the Iowa House, 53-46.

The 45 percent increase marks the first time the gas-oline tax has been raised since 1989. It is expected to raise around $200 million dollars which will help fill a $215 million shortfall pro-jected by the Iowa Depart-ment of Transportation to cover infrastructure repairs.

The Iowa Senate also moved Tuesday to raise the state’s minimum wage, ap-proving a proposal 27-22 to gradually raise it to $8.75 by next July.

All 26 Democrats in the Iowa Senate were joined by one Republican, Rick Ber-trand of Sioux City, in vot-ing to approve an increase.

If signed into law, the state’s minimum wage would increase to $8.00 an hour in July this year, then increase again to $8.75 in July of 2016. Iowa’s current minimum wage is the same as the federal minimum wage, $7.25 an hour.

The increase looks unlikely to be debated in the Republican-controlled Iowa House or gain sup-port from Gov. Branstad. Republicans in the Iowa legislature, and nationwide, have said they are focused on other forms of economic growth that would provide higher paying jobs without an increase.

A judge accepted for-mer ISU researcher Dong-Pyou Han’s plea agreement Wednesday.

Han was a researcher, who admitted to falsifying lab results in an HIV vac-cine study, plead guilty to two counts of making false statements in reports.

Han had been study-

ing the affects of a vaccine on HIV-infected rabbit blood when he spiked the samples with un-infected blood to make it seem like the vaccine was working.

Han then presented his findings to other scien-tists, who raised concerns when they were unable to duplicate his presented results.

After admitting he’d faked results of experi-ments with an AIDS vac-

cine in 2013, Korean-born Han was forced to resign his position as a research assistant professor.

The multi-million dol-lar federal grant Iowa State University was given for the vaccine research was also taken away.

Han faces up to 10 years in prison and could have to pay back some of the more than $12 million of federal grant money used in the research.


HIV research faces up to 10 years in prison

While she never con-sidered herself a tree hug-ger, Suzan Erem thinks of herself as a “farm hugger.”

Erem, president and founder of the Sustainable Iowa Land Trust, or SILT, moved to the east coast af-ter earning a degree in Eng-lish and journalism from the University of Iowa. Four years ago, she returned to the 80 acres of land she bought in Iowa in 1997.

On that land, Erem and her husband built a five-star energy efficient house, however she wanted to do more.

“I was standing there looking at this 80 acres that had been completely raped by industrial farming for 60, 70 years,” Erem said. “We looked out on this 80 acres and thought now what do we do?”

Erem and her husband saw a problem with the way their land was treated and set out to learn more about soil and sustainable farm-ing practices.

“ T h e g o v e r n m e n t programs, government guidance and government employees that told me about these things that got

me more involved in that ground than I ever would have been otherwise.”

By becoming involved in Practical Farmers of Iowa and Worldwide Opportuni-ty in Organic Farms, Erems’ social network expanded.

“We kept hearing the same story from the hardest working, brightest people you could ever imagine,” Erem said. “We’re never going to be able to farm because we can’t afford the land.”

The idea for SILT de-veloped when Erem tried to preserve land outside of the 80 acres and allow a beginning farmer to utilize the land. She wanted to ensure that the land would only be used for growing healthy food.

I n o r d e r t o l e g a l l y preserve the land she pur-chased, Erem called pres-ervation groups to donate an easement, which means donating away the right to ever develop the land, as long as the group could guarantee food production on that land in the future.

Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation, the Burr Oak Land Trust, American Farm Land Trust and Sierra Club turned Erem away.

“We have this huge land transition going on.

We have all of these farm-ers who can’t gain access to land and I can’t even protect a farm,” Erem said. “It seemed like such a sin that this was happening.”

It took Erem about two years to create SILT, howev-er, she has received nothing but positive feedback.

“All we’re doing is re-serving land to grow food,” E r e m s a i d . “ S o f a r w e haven’t had any opposi-tion to that.”

The model for SILT is easy: a land trust. Any land SILT owns is land a farmer can lease as long as they are qualified. The farmer owns everything on the land, but not the land itself, and then sells the house and farm equipment to the next

farmer ready to take over the land.

If a farmer would rath-er maintain ownership of their land, he or she can set up an easement, which restricts that land for future use to certain guidelines, such as growing healthy food. SILT enforces the contract.

Sustainability is near and dear to the many stu-dents who attended the talk Wednesday.

Hannah Dankbar is a first year graduate student in the Graduate Program in Sustainable Agriculture who attended Erems’ talk.

“ W e d n e s d a y a f t e r -noons we come here and a team is put together ev-ery semester to organize

speakers who come in to talk about a variety of dif-ferent projects,” Dankbar said. “Last week, we had a speaker from Monsanto come in and we also had a speaker about pesticides.”

Adam Wright, graduate student in creative writing, helps organize the Wednes-day afternoon talks regard-ing sustainable agriculture. He, along with two other students, work to invite speakers from all areas of sustainability from a turkey farmer to a Monsanto rep-resentative.

Wright grew up on a 40-acre apple orchard in North Carolina. His fam-ily sold the farm and what once was an orchard is now suburbs.

“I am very concerned about the industrial ag sys-tem,” Wright said. “I think there’s a lot of problems with it environmentally, socially, economically and I don’t think it’s sustain-able.”

E r e m , W r i g h t , a n d Dankbar all agree that sus-tainability is a hot topic in agriculture, especially with the growing concern about global warming.

“ S t u d e n t s a t a n a g school have a responsibil-ity to the public to go out and make the world better in agriculture,” Erem said. “Whatever they’re [taught] about agriculture their job is to make the world bet-ter. And I hope that’s what they do.”

ISU employers recog-nized their employees’ hard work Wednesday at the an-nual Student Employee of the Year Recognition Cer-emony.

“They are doing things that full time workers don’t do, and that deserves to be recognized,” said Ann Wessman, program manag-er for the Office of Student Financial Aid.

Every year, the Office of Student Financial Aid offers campus employers the opportunity to nomi-nate their employees who posses excellent work ethic and professionalism. This year, employers recognized 88 nominees, with Shelby Hockey, junior in computer science and undergraduate administrative assistant for the Department of Com-puter Science, winning the award as Student Employee of the Year.

“I’m still pretty shocked to be honest,” Hockey said. “It’s nice when you get to learn that you are appreci-

ated.”This marks the third

year that the Office of Stu-dent Financial Aid has conducted this ceremony. Winners of the award will then move to be judged for a statewide award. Winners of the state ceremony can then be considered for national recognition.

“I am on several awards committees and this is by far the hardest award to win,” Wessman said.

Students nominated for the award must be hired by a campus employer, work six months at their current position and be nominated by their corresponding pro-fessor with a letter explain-ing their excellence in the workplace.

“It’s always a nice op-portunity to recognize the students,” said Mack Shel-ley, professor of political science.

Shelley nominated Sa-mantha Haase, senior in po-litical science and research assistant and secretary, for her excellence in handling a large work load, while still producing exceptional re-sults.

“Sometimes student workers can feel underap-preciated, so it’s nice to know you are recognized for your hard work,” Haase said.

On top of holding two positions for the Depart-ment of Political Science, Haase also worked as a legal assistant for the Legal Aid Society of Story County.

“I think she was work-ing three different times at one time while working for me, and she still did all the heavy lifting for me,” Shel-ley said.

Students like Haase were all recognized for their efforts with a certificate acknowledging their hard work. Three of the 88 nomi-nees were brought forth for special recognition of their accomplishments, and Hockey, the winner of the award, was selected for her efforts in the Department of Computer Science. Among other accomplishments, Hockey also worked toward updating and ensuring ac-curacy for online grants.

“She excels at putting her superiors and peers’ needs before her own,”

Wessman said, when speak-ing about Hockey.

During the ceremony, Matthew Goodman, owner of The Fighting Burrito and Ames City Council rep-resentative, spoke to the nominees on how their hard work and confidence will in-

spire others along the way.“Mold your arrogance

into confidence and you will inspire others to move along that line,” Goodman said.

W e s s m a n s a i d s h e hopes for the ceremony to continue for many more

years because she feels that recognizing student em-ployees’ hard work is es-sential.

“ Y o u a l l s h o u l d b e proud to be in the com-pany of such an amazing group,” Wessman said to the nominees.

tered parties per semester, after philanthropy events or to celebrate a Greek Week pairing, McConnell said.

For a registered party, there must be at least six sober monitors, as well as a 21-year-old member acting as bartender for the dura-tion of the party. McConnell also said they are required to have plenty of non-al-coholic beverages, as well as snacks, for party guests.

“Those are the majors,” McConnell said. “But then you list everyone who could have responsibility down the line, so that everybody can feel the liability.”

Risk, he said, is always a factor when alcohol is present.

“When you’re a wet house, obviously the risk side of things goes off the charts,” McConnell said, but he still thinks it’s worth it to be an alcohol-permit-ting house.

Violating the chapter’s alcohol rules results in what McConnell called “self-punishment.” Any member drinking under age at Sigma Phi Epsilon will be sent to the house standards board, or the “court room” of the chapter. Sober monitors who fail to keep an event under control will also face punishment determined by the chapter.

The Office of Greek Af-fairs is included only when a member is reported.

“It’s almost like we’re raising [our members],” McConnell said. “We’re teaching them how to live on their own, how to follow rules and self-punish.”

So is being a wet house a selling point to potential new members during re-cruitment?

McConnell said not so much. He said it might be a factor, but Sigma Phi Epsi-lon members are successful for other reasons.

“We got third place in grades last year,” he said, beating most dry houses.

John Beatty, senior in industrial engineering, said he sees it a bit differently.

Beatty, who was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon be-fore it became a dry house, said alcohol regulations are part of a house’s atmo-sphere and how a house is perceived.

“I did recruiting for SAE, and I could tell you that if it was a dry house, it would affect recruiting,” Beatty said. “Kids want to join an atmosphere where they can be free.”

Between October 2013 and June 2014, Pi Kappa Phi was suspended from cam-pus and charged with mis-use of alcoholic beverages. Executive board member Isaac Droessler said the fraternity was previously a wet house, and there were “many issues there.”

“People knew we had a wet house environment. That’s something people will still look for,” Droess-ler said. “That’s what I was looking for when I joined.”

Droessler said Pi Kappa Phi will return to its Welch address in the fall, but it will be a dry house until the end of 2016. At that point, he said, it will be up to alumni and current members to decide whether to return to an alcohol-permitted status, and Droessler said he hopes they do.

The picture is slightly different at Alpha Gamma Rho, where chapter presi-dent Matt Kerns said parties aren’t allowed, but casual drinking is, as long as you’re a member.

“We’re a damp house,” Kerns said. “Members can drink if they’re of legal drinking age and if they have it on second or third floor, behind closed doors.”

The main reason for this, Kerns said, is to pre-vent damage to their fa-cilities. However, he also said regulating alcohol con-sumption prevents more than just housing conse-quences.

“Anytime that you in-crease the number of peo-ple that are allowed to drink at a chapter really opens yourself up for more risk,” he said.

K e r n s s a i d A l p h a

Gamma Rho has fining and “strike” systems in place to prevent alcohol policy vio-lations. Most repercussions are dealt with internally.

F o r K e r n s , b e i n g a damp house is a happy medium — a way to guar-antee 21-year-old members a little freedom, while also reducing the risks of a party. But he doesn’t think it has to be that way across greek land.

“I don’t think there’s a one-size-fits-all answer,” Kerns said. “I think for us, being a damp house works. I have no complaints.”

Maia Palma, a junior in apparel, merchandising and design, is a member of Gamma Phi Beta sorority, which, like all sororities on campus, is completely dry. Alcohol isn’t allowed any-where in the house or on the property, and members found in possession of alco-hol could risk getting kicked out of the house.

“The way I view it is that it prevents any pres-sure from anyone who feels uncomfortable,” she said. “It just creates a safe zone for people, so they don’t feel like they have to [drink].”

Although she said she is happy to have restrictions at Gamma Phi Beta, Palma said society might be to blame for the significant differences between soror-ity and fraternity regula-tions.

“I think it’s the culture of the United States,” she said. “Girls are supposed to be proper and ladylike, and having alcohol isn’t very ladylike.”

Destinie Hsu, senior in elementary education and Delta Zeta alumna, remem-bers initially feeling upset about sororities’ alcohol restrictions.

“When I moved in, I thought, ‘Hey this is stupid that I can’t drink in my own house,’” she said. “But now, looking back on it, it helped keep our house clean.”

For Hsu, certain fra-ternities’ less restrictive alcohol policies allowed her to have a clean home, while still being able to attend

parties.“When I was younger,

and too young for the bars, I did go to frat parties,” Hsu said. “Where else are you going to go?”

Gabe McCoy, former president of ACACIA frater-nity and senior in mechani-cal engineering, doesn’t see an issue with alcohol in sororities.

“I actually find it kind of ridiculous,” McCoy said. “They end up keeping alco-hol in other places, friends’ apartments, cars. They still have it even if it’s not on the property or in the house.”

McCoy said he also isn’t a big fan of ACACIA’s “dry” housing status.

“I would prefer it to be a [damp] house,” Mc-Coy said. “There was a time when we discussed the pos-sibility of changing it, but there was strong opposition from a few of our mem-bers.”

McCoy said certain members were concerned that changing the alcohol policy would change the culture of the house. He also added that parents seem to be more comfort-able with dry fraternities, and recruitment might be significantly changed if they allowed alcohol.

“I don’t see anything changing in the foresee-able future,” McCoy said. “But I’m of the opinion that greeks in general have too many rules and care far too much about their rules.”

Erika Gebard, presi-dent of the Collegiate Pan-hellenic Council, as well as IFC President Corey Ander-son were unavailable for comment.

Repeated attempts to schedule an interview with Billy Boulden, assistant dean of students with the Office of Greek Affairs, were not successful.

Boulden emai led a response late Wednesday afternoon saying he would be willing to comment, but could not meet in person due to scheduling conflicts before the story printed and said he wouldn’t interview over the phone.

Sen. Michael Snook said he did not believe the current duties of the speaker are deserving of this scholar-ship.

“Why don’t we offer scholarship to other offi-cers?” Snook said. “Why stop at [the] speaker?”

Walsh said the speaker is often held to a different standard inside the cham-ber.

“If the president wants to spend money, they have to come to the speaker first to get anything done,” Walsh said. “Big things that happen through this body have to come through this branch. We need good lead-ership.”

P r e s i d e n t H i l l a r y Kletscher said she has re-ceived positive feedback from students in the past on not compensating officers

and instead redirecting that money to student organiza-tions.

The bill failed to pass after a vote from the senate.

GSB also voted down a motion to wave second read on a contract with the Student Union Board, and instead will discuss and vote on the bill next week.

The new contract with guarantee funding for SUB events for the next three years, beginning July 2015 and ending June 2018.

SUB would be given $250,000 a year if this bill would pass. Of that, $100,000 would be used to fund na-tional events on Iowa State’s campus. The rest of the fun, $150,000 would be used for other SUB events, including Cyclone Cinema.

A motion was made to wave second read in order to make a decision on the bill this week, since the major-

IOWA STATE DAILY

OPINION 5Thursday, Feb. 26, 2015

Despite learning how much Americans dislike government shut-downs in 2013, Congress is once again playing a dangerous game based on political gamesmanship and partisan hard lines. This time, the stakes are comparably lower, but no less damag-ing — and infuriating — than they were two years ago.

The stakes this time around are the funding of the Department of Homeland Security. Unless the cur-rent bill makes it through Congress or a new bill is drafted and approved, the Department of Homeland Security will be forced to halt all nonessential pro-grams, including keeping nonessential employees away from work. Essential employees — like the National Guard — will be forced to work without pay during the shutdown, with no promise of reimbursement when this mess is eventually sorted out.

The current bill has overwhelm-ing Republican support, but that may have something to do with the fact that attached to the bill is a measure that would defund President Obama’s recent immigration reform is attached to the bill is. For that reason, the ma-jority of Democrats want nothing to do with it.

Perhaps the most incomprehen-sibly hypocritical aspect of this bill is the fact that a Homeland Security shut-down would stop pay for border patrol agencies. So apparently if you don’t want immigration to be reformed, the answer is to stop paying the people who monitor illegal immigration.

Essentially, Republicans are say-ing “I bet you’ll bend first,” and Demo-crats have responded by saying “Come find out.”

All this leaves American citizens somewhere in the middle, regardless of political affiliation. The 2013 gov-ernment shutdown was initiated in a similar fashion after a Republican proposition to defund Obamacare got stuck in the legislature. In re-sponse, Republican approval ratings took a hit while House, Senate, and presidential approval ratings went up. After gaining the majority in 2014, do Republicans really want to damage their victory by immediately making another catastrophically unpopular political decision?

All partisan sentiment aside, the majority of Americans — Congress members included — should be able to agree that this is simply not the time for a political game of chicken. With overseas enemies calling for attacks against American malls, this seems an inopportune time to end funding for programs that monitor domestic terror threats.

Also, citizens in the northeastern United States experiencing some of the worst snow storms in recent his-tory would no longer receive aid from government agencies like the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

This is not an example of a govern-ment “of the people, for the people and by the people” because the “people” are by and large going to lose as a result of this political idiocy, since no one wins in these political staring contests.

This is not an argument that Obama’s immigration reform is the correct decision for the United States, but it is an argument against selfish political scheming that benefits very few people and hurts every single American.

Reports have come forward that Republicans are forming a “clean” Homeland Security funding bill and it seems to be the correct decision. Republicans can have this fight if they want it but this not the stage.

EDITORIAL

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A bill introduced in the Iowa Senate, SF 168, will ad-dress the ongoing issues of ne-glect and abuse in large-scale commercial dog breeding op-erations. Commonly referred to as “puppy mills,” these USDA-licensed and monitored facili-ties mass-produce puppies for

the retail pet trade, including for resale online and at pet stores nationwide. Currently, Iowa harbors approximately 220 of these large-volume breeders, with high concentrations in northwest and southeast Iowa. A total of 15,000 adult dogs are kept in them solely for the pur-pose of breeding.

USDA inspection data in-dicates that in 2014, at least 47 percent of Iowa’s puppy mills violated the minimum care

standards set forth in the fed-eral Animal Welfare Act. Of these violations, 18 percent were con-sidered severe, directly affecting the health and well-being of the dogs. In spite of this disturbing statistic, the state of Iowa cur-rently does not perform routine welfare inspections of USDA licensees. Curiously, though, the state does collect revenue from them in the way of operating permits. Iowa’s legislators have an opportunity this session to

make meaningful changes to the way puppy mills are inspected. SF 168 will require that the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship shares the responsibility for inspecting USDA-licensed facilities. This would give IDALS the author-ity to enforce our state animal neglect and cruelty statues to better protect dogs from seri-ous and preventable harm. Iowa needs this, and the dogs deserve this.

‘Puppy Mill’ bill addresses dog neglect

Gay marriage has become such a sensitive subject because there is so much

to either defend or reject it. It has become a battle to which everyone has the desire to fight with bloody tooth and nail for his or her rights. Those rights are to either approve the act of a same-sex union, or to be against the idea entirely.

For those who decidedly repudiate it are subjected to hatefulness because of their dis-agreement. They are considered to be homophobes and discrimi-native, which only adds fuel to the fire and makes the situation a lot worse than it needs to be. With the appearance that the integration of gay marriage into everyday life across the United States will be inevitable, how people react from both sides of the spectrum is most important.

First and foremost, there are certain rights that residing in a freedom oriented country allow us, such as the opportu-nity to openly love who we want regardless of gender. At least, in a majority of the country, there are currently 37 states that have legalized gay marriage, leaving 13 others that deny it. Of those 13, there are seven states that have overturned the ban. This reaffirms the notion that it will be unavoidable at some point in time that same-sex marriage will be accepted in all states.

That being said, those who

oppose it should do so in a prop-er manner. Through the use of the golden rule, both sides can be satisfied. It can be surmised that it isn’t the person who is disagreed with, but the action that person is pursuing. Within that person there is always an opportunity for change, just as there is within all of us.

Those who oppose the idea and action of gay marriage need not be violent or belligerent — the proper way is through lead-ing a life of example. By being hateful and unkind, a change will not be enforced. It is not within anyone’s power to incite change among anyone but his or herself, the change must come from within. Even so, change may not be desired, therefore the only life you can change and control is your own. This is why learning to live with change is the least aggravated choice.

The opposition of gay mar-riage can be related to a situa-tion like ethnicities. People of different colors are still human and deserve the same respect as those who choose to partici-pate in a same-sex union. The disagreements that people have against gay marriage can be had in peaceful ways, which will al-low the opportunity to live with change.

As humans of this world, no one deserves harsh treatment or discrimination and that tran-scends into any act, including an act of opposition. The way to a peaceful transition is to be acceptant of it. That is not to say you must be in agreement with it

or change your ideals. However, confrontation won’t solve any problems that there may be.

Through the confrontation that already exists, the undeni-able separation into sides has occurred, those who oppose it and those who support it, and so it is necessary to avoid hypocrisy if a solution is ever to be reached. It is paramount to reiterate the idea that we all live in a country that provides us freedoms that maybe aren’t used as they should be.

People should be allowed to be non-supporters without being called names and be dis-criminated upon just as those who are supporters should be allowed to continue on with their lives without discrimina-tion. There can be hope for the future that one day we can all live peacefully whether the idea is accepted or not. It will be the time when we all can agree to disagree.

I believe only then can we eliminate the hostility between gays and straights. The answer is to let go and live your life the way you think it’s meant to be lived, instead of trying to force the way you want others in the opposition to live their lives.

As Paul Tournier would say, “acceptance of one’s life has nothing to do with resigna-tion. It does not mean running away from the struggle. On the contrary, it means accepting it as it comes, with all the handi-caps of heredity, of suffering of psychological complexes and injustices.”

Courtesy of BigstockColumnist Zoe Woods believes that the name calling surrounding the issue of gay marriage does not help push forward change for either side of the debate. Whether you are for or against the issue of gay marriage, confrontation with the opposition will only hurt discussion and slow the rate of meaningful conversation on the subject.

GAY MARRIAGEOpposition does not need to be met with discrimination


With the lacrosse sea-son now in full swing, the ISU men’s lacrosse club will attempt to get into a winning groove this week-end when it opens up the season with a pair of games in Minnesota.

After a sub-par 2014 campaign, the club will try to turn things around, but first it will have to play its way through a very talented conference.

The club is a member of the Men’s College La-crosse Association in the Upper Midwest Lacrosse

Conference. The confer-ence consists of four other teams: Minnesota, Min-nesota-Duluth, Minne-sota State-Mankato and St. Cloud State.

“We lost a good senior class, so this year we are looking to rebuild the pro-gram,” said sophomore Ted Ramert. “We have a ton of freshman who will fill important roles and be-come key players.”

One of those seniors was captain Steve Lind-ner. Lindner was second in scoring on the team behind Ramert. Ramert, a standout player on the field, earned 1st Team All-Conference honors, Rookie of the Year,

Offensive Player of the Year and earned the MCLA scholar award during the 2014 season.

Last year, the club fin-ished 4-7 but easily could have been closer to .500 if it weren’t for a few games that they let slip away. One game the team would like to have back is a late Feb-ruary 9-8 loss against Mis-souri. Then the second was the contest against in-state rival Iowa. In that game, the club fell by a score of 13-6.

“ T h e g a m e a g a i n s t M i s s o u r i w a s a h e a r t -breaker just because it was so close and how well we played,” said junior Jon-athon Minnec. “Against

Iowa, our emotions were r u n n i n g h i g h a n d w e couldn’t capitalize.”

Minnec, who is the president of the club, be-lieves that this year’s squad could put up good numbers despite it being a so-called “rebuilding year.” The team is bringing in a large fresh-man class and the practice atmosphere has been more upbeat, Minnec said.

Because lacrosse is a club sport, Minnec has no control over whether or not team members show up to practice. In order to keep things running, which Minnec says is the hardest part, the team has inserted several policies.

“We have a rule that if you don’t show up to prac-tice, you can’t play the next game,” Minnec said. “We have to hold them to higher standards and have trust in them that they want to be there.”

S o p h o m o r e J a s o n Parnell views this not as a rebuilding year, but as a year the club can achieve higher goals than previous years and have a successful season.

“ W e h a v e a t o u g h schedule, but with a lot of returning players and new players adding depth, we have a good chance for a good season,” Parnell said.

The schedule, which has the club opening the

season up against Minne-sota and St. Johns, will be the biggest obstacle that the team must overcome.

St. Johns is also in the UMLC, but play in the DII conference. Despite be-ing a division lower, they could be the toughest team the club faces all year. St. Johns is coming off of a 2014 campaign that saw them end up with a second place finish at the MCLA DII Championships. They have also appeared in 10 straight MCLA DII champi-onship tournaments.

“St. Johns will be tough and a lot of fun to play just because of their storied past,” Minnec said. “It’s going to be hard to go up there and beat them.”

Tough game or not, the club will have to go into every contest with a win-ning mindset if it wants to achieve its goals. Ramert said the goal is to go at least .500, which once reached will provide the platform for loftier goals.

Due to mixed ideas about the so-called re-building year, the club will have to play at a level it has not yet attained in its his-tory. Prone to average sea-sons, the team wants to see its name etched into the ISU lacrosse record books.

In order to accomplish that, the club will have to weave its way through a tough conference sched-ule and win games that it couldn’t in the past.

Men’s lacrosse club aims for fresh results in new season

So close, yet so far. That’s the theme of Iowa State’s mission to claim at least a portion of first place with Kansas.

It was just eight min-utes that separated the Cyclones from tying the Big 12 lead. It was seven Baylor 3-pointers during that stretch that stood in the way.

The Bears hit a flurry of 3-pointers — 5-for-5 during a stretch — to pull away from the Cyclones, breaking Iowa State’s 21-game home win streak in a

79-70 win.“Well, they got it going

on us early again and I just don’t think our urgency out [of] the gate was very good,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg. “Offensively, we were clicking pretty well for most of the game, then we go on a drought and it affected us. It affected our defense.”

Leading 64-57, Iowa State forced Baylor to burn its final timeout of the half with more than eight min-utes to play with the crowd at a fever pitch and seem-ingly all the momentum behind the Cyclones.

Then the drought.Iowa State would only

score six points the rest of the game while Baylor put on its shooting clinic.

The Bears finished 14-for-26 from the 3-point line, led by Taurean Prince’s 20 points, going 4-for-8 from behind the arc.

T h e B i g 1 2 r a c e i s far from over. If Kansas stumbles even once in its final stretch of games, Iowa State can still manage to tie for the conference lead.

But with the confer-ence race being so close, was Iowa State looking too far ahead against Baylor?

“We didn’t talk about it at all,” Hoiberg said of Big 12 title conversations. “We talked about taking care of

today. We talked about it yesterday [during a] great practice, one day at a time … Obviously we didn’t get that accomplished.”

The loss certainly does not hurt the Cyclones’ NCAA tournament hopes, their Big 12 tournament chances or motivat ion heading into the tail end of the season, but it was obvi-ous it will not be forgotten.

S o p h o m o r e M a t t Thomas is in the middle of one of the best offensive basketball stretches of his career.

Making 3-of-5 3-point-ers and tallying 13 points, Thomas has put up 30 total points in his last two out-

ings. But when asked about

his improved play, he took a different approach.

“The way I guarded tonight was absolutely embarrassing. That’s all that matters right now,” Thomas said.

The posit ives were hard to come by in the one minute of questions fielded by the players in the post game press conference.

“We just didn’t stick together as a team. We stopped communicating. We lost our togetherness,” said Jameel McKay.

Unfortunately for the Cyclones, the road doesn’t get much easier in their

quest for a Big 12 champi-onship.

They travel to Bram-lage Coliseum on Saturday to take on Kansas State — a notoriously tough venue to find a win.

But the chance is still there. In an unpredictable Big 12 season, Iowa State, Oklahoma and Kansas all have the opportunity to at least share a piece of the title.

“ Y o u c a n ’ t l e t o n e turn into two,” Hoiberg said of the loss. “You’ve got to bounce back with a great practice tomorrow … We’ve got two days to prepare for an afternoon game on the road.”

The Iowa State Sym-phony Orchestra will pres-ent its “Concert of Solo-ists” at 7:30 Friday in the Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall. Selected students will perform as soloists in this concert.

T h e m u s i c i s f r o m “Dvorak: Symphony No. 9” titled “From the New World.” Alexander Doser, senior in mathematics, will play the piano.

“We have a big part and the orchestra is accom-panying us for the first half of the concert,” Doser said.

An audition took place

for students to have a role in the performance. After the competition ended, three students were chosen.

Since starting to play the piano at age five, this will be Doser’s first time performing with an orches-tra.

Ryan Pearson, senior in music, will play the ma-rimba in the concert as a soloist.

“It is to show what I have been working on this year and also as practice for me to become a better musician,” Pearson said.

Preparation for this concert requires both prac-tice with a student’s instru-ment and time practicing with the orchestra.

“The only way to pre-pare for something like this is to just spend many hours in the practice room everyday. It is slow going at first, but once the notes are learned, it is all about adding musicality and your own style to the pieces,” Pearson said.

Courtney Kayser, se-nior in music, will sing as a mezzo-soprano in the concert.

“ I ’ v e b e e n s i n g i n g s in ce ch i l d ho o d, bu t I didn’t start taking private lessons until college. It wasn’t until my junior year that I ditched Broadway music and started learning how to sing classically. I wanted to learn something

new and something that would challenge me vo-cally,” Kayser said.

In addition to “From the New World,” the or-chestra will accompany soloists to their music of choice.

“The pieces are ones that my professor and I picked out for me to per-form. Each piece is picked to work on a different set of skills, so I can also learn while I prepare for my re-cital,” Pearson said.

The soloists are to per-form one piece.

“I will sing this one aria, ‘Que fais-tu, blanche tourterelle?’ If it were any-more than that, I’d be a little terrified. The aria I’m

performing is a bit of a beast to get through on its own,” Kayser said.

Kayser will prepare dif-ferently than an instrumen-talist for the solo concert.

“I had to learn and in-ternalize the music before I entered the competition to perform in this concert. That meant running it with both my voice professor Mary Creswell and vocal coach Jodi Goble to check to see if I was taking enough breath to support both my-self and the melodic line,” Kayser said.

By using her coach’s help, Kayser was able to find out if she had any vocal or physical tension. After such preparation, the con-

cert is a main focus of hers.“The fact that I’m sing-

ing with the symphony or-chestra is enough to make me squeal with joy. Even though I dreamed about it, I never thought in a million years that I would be cho-sen for such an opportunity like this,” Kayser said.

Each soloist is humble and honored to perform with the symphony orches-tra.

“Especially given the immensely talented instru-mentalists I had to compete against, it’s a pleasure to sing alongside them,” Kay-ser said.

The admission charge for adults is $5 and $3 for students.

Mipso, a North Caro-lina-based band, will per-form at the Maintenance Shop on Thursday. The group was created during the members’ time at the University of North Caro-lina at Chapel Hill.

A tradit ional blue-grass with a pop edge is how Mipso’s fiddle player, Libby Rodenbough, would describe their music. Mip-so originally began as a three-man-band with Ja-cob Sharp on mandolin, Joseph Terrell on guitar and Wood Robinson on double bass.

R o d e n b o u g h s o o n joined Mipso after falling in love with the tradition-al North Carolina style. Rodenbough was originally trained as a classical violin-

ist, but took a year off from school to study traditional fiddle techniques in Chi-cago and Ireland.

“I’m glad I took a year off. I think that made me more capable of finishing the rest of [school]. That’s how I realized I was so passionate about music,” Rodenbough said.

The band’s passion for music has grown from a hobby to a living.

With graduations in 2013 and 2014, Mipso has gained more time to tour and develop their music career. They are currently on their longest tour of six weeks, traveling the Mid-west.

While Rodenbough was not a full member of Mipso at the time, she said it was recording Mipso’s most recent album, “Dark Holler Pop,” that inspired the band to consider music

professionally.“That album was in-

teresting because when they started making it they [Sharp, Terrell, Robinson] thought it would be their last musical endeavor be-cause it was during the last years of college, but in the studio the music was so positive and so much fun. The process made them t h i n k m a y b e w e c o u l d do this more seriously,” Rodenbough said.

Mipso plans to release a new album this Septem-ber. According to Roden-bough, students can expect to hear a lot of their newer songs at the show.

“I’m usually not a folk music person, but their lyrics are really good,” said Lara Hetherton, freshman in pre-industrial design.

Rodenbough also has advice for college students playing in their own bands.

“Don’t be afraid to take it seriously. If you re-alize you’re having fun and have a good thing, trust your intuition on that and people are likely to respond

to something that is hon-est and inspired,” Roden-bough said.

M i p s o w i l l p l a y a t the Maintenance Shop at 8 p.m. Thursday on their

first visit to Iowa. The doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $8 with a student ID and $12 for the public, with a $2 increase the day of the performance.

McConnell, R-Ky., said he would separate the two is-sues and vote on a “clean” DHS funding bill, but would also vote on a measure to still roll back Obama’s im-migration plans.

A deal looked likely as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told reporters on Capitol Hill that an agreement “on a pathway” forward and a final vote may come as early as Thursday.

The Senate voted 98-2

to begin the debate yester-day , but even if the Senate passes funding, the out-come in the House is un-certain.

“Democrats need to end their weeks-long fili-buster of Homeland Se-curity funding right now,” McConnell said on the Sen-ate floor yesterday. “The dual-pronged approach I’ve outlined — allowing the Senate to stop ‘unwise and unfair’ overreach on the one hand, and to fund DHS through the fiscal year on the other — is a sensible

way forward.”Boehner faces back-

lash from more conserva-tive members of the lower chamber who want the two tied together.

U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, who represents Ames and is an outspoken oppo-nent of illegal immigration, weighed in on social media, expressing disapproval with what was playing out.

“Senators arguing fund DHS but vote a separate bill to defund executive amnesty. Have you heard of Obama veto? Think we

were born yesterday?” King tweeted.

I f t h e d e a l t o f u n d DHS without immigration actions tied to it moves through the Senate to the House, King is likely a “no” vote, tweeting, “Senators want separate bill to defund exec amnesty. Fine, when & only when Obama signs bill to defund exec amnesty, we will then fund DHS.”

The House already ap-proved funding of DHS, but did tie it an amendment that rolls back the immigra-tion order.

The Senate voted a to-tal of four times before yes-terday, all of which failed to reach a 60-vote threshold to move forward as Demo-crats filibustered the fund-ing while it was tied to im-migration.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Republicans in the House have no plan to keep DHS open.

“With every House Democrat cosponsoring clean DHS funding legisla-tion, it is clear this crisis only exists because Republicans

prioritize anti-immigrant extremists over the safety of the American people,” Pe-losi said. “Republicans must end this madness and join Democrats to fund Home-land Security immediately.”

Even with a shutdown, almost 80 percent of DHS employees are considered “essential,” and would re-main on the job without pay.

The House and Senate have until the evening of Friday to pass funding with identical language to avoid a shutdown of DHS.
