The Government of the Stu-dent Body passed an amendment that would potentially change the name of its organization.
The proposal will be put to a vote by the student body in the coming elections to make a final decision on this matter. The change will not take effect until the end of the current term.
Hillary Kletscher, GSB presi-dent, said the plan has been in motion for several months and will help make several improve-ments from a public relations standpoint.
Kletscher said this would be an opportunity to better connect with the students.
Several senators pointed out the majority of the students did not know what GSB was, or what it did for the ISU student body.
“Our name is very differ-ent,” Kletscher said. “They know what student government is but not GSB. Students relate in the conversations better to Student Government than to GSB.”
Speaker Gabe Walsh agreed that GSB needed a rebranding because he said students are not receptive of GSB, as evidenced by the involvement of the student body with an 8 percent voter turnout in GSB elections.
“I usually say ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it,’ but I would say the system is a bit broken,” Walsh said. “Maybe this won’t affect it, but sitting and doing nothing isn’t what we should be doing.”
Sen. Richard Hartnett said GSB should not change the name, but instead do things that will bring in more senators and stu-dents into the GSB chamber.
Sen. Danielle Nygard agreed and said the rebrand will not solve GSB’s public relations is-sues.
Caitlin Deaver, director of visual media, said the rebrand would eliminate an unnecessary obstacle and make the name of GSB change to Student Govern-ment.
“It’s putting the student be-fore the government,” Deaver said. “It’s a small change, but it’s a big change that will really impact people.”
The amendment was voted on and passed. The final decision will be voted on by the student body during GSB elections.
GSB also voted on a bill that would not require the vice presi-dent to chair the weekly Senate meetings. The proposal failed in a majority vote.
In the past, the GSB vice president has been required to oversee the meetings. The new amendment would allow the vice president to designate a senator to chair the meetings.
Walsh said the vice president has chaired the meetings to break any ties in the vote on senate debates.
Sen. Abbie Lang said she would not want a vice president to vote on a tie-breaker in a de-bate if he or she had not been par-ticipating in the debate earlier.
Kletscher, who was GSB vice president last year, shared her perspective on the position.
“I did see it as a valuable growth opportunity,” Kletscher said. “However, it seems that their time is going to meetings instead of initiative. That’s not

Everybody has those moments.
The moments spent looking in the mir-ror, squeezing that little pouch of belly fat, wishing it would disappear. The moments spent incessantly counting calories, skip-
ping meals or over exercising to insure the daily calorie limit is not exceeded.
Unfortunately, for some people, there comes a point when it
goes too far.

Schedule of events
The goal of making Iowa State University more diverse starts with the search for a new inaugural position on campus: the chief diversity officer.
This was the emphasis of the town hall-style meeting that took place Wednesday in the Oak Room of the Memorial Union.
The university announced its search for a chief diversity officer in 2013 after the Jackson Consulting Firm conducted a study of the university’s diversity programs and initiatives. In Oc-
tober of 2014, President Steven Leath appointed the chief di-versity officer search committee, which is made up of ISU faculty, staff and students.
Mark Hall, senior associ-ate at The Spelman and John-son Group, is working with the search committee. The commit-tee’s goal is to create and fill the new position of chief diversity officer at Iowa State.
One of the 12 members of the chief diversity office search committee, Keith Bystrom, who is also a member of University Counsel, explained how the committee was composed of several different people from a
variety of positions at Iowa State. The committee first met in Octo-ber 2014, Bystrom said.
He said the process of de-fining and filling a new position takes time. He went on to ex-plain that during those first few months of the search, “the com-mittee has mostly been deciding how to proceed.”
During the meeting, Hall said The Spelman and Johnson Group and the search commit-tee will “spend the next couple months looking for a person to fill the position.” He also said The Spelman and Johnson Group was picked out of three or four firms that were interested in
helping Iowa State install a chief diversity officer.
He went on to explain how The Spelman and Johnson Group and the search committee will be having regular meetings with the goal of getting community input on the new position.
After a few minutes of out-lining the information on the job search, audience members had a chance to ask questions.
Joy Busch, senior in psy-chology, asked what Hall meant when he said “community.” She wondered if he meant only ISU faculty and students or if

For the 10th year in a row, the John Pappajohn Center is holding its Iowa Entrepreneurial Venture competition.
A c c o r d i n g t o t h e John Pappajohn Center, the competition serves to “give small businesses and entrepreneurs the opportunity and motiva-tion to develop a system-atic business plan that works for their individual needs.”
This year, in honor of the 10th anniversary of the event, the center is holding another unique competition — a logo de-sign competition.
Students attending Drake, Iowa State, the
University of Iowa, the University of Northern Iowa or North Iowa Area Community College were to create two logos for the competition.
The winner of the competition will receive $500 cash as a prize.
The first was a logo for the John Pappajohn Iowa Entrepreneurial Venture Competition with a banner saying “10th Anniversary.” The second logo was to be the same as the fi rst, but with-out the banner, so the logo could be used for a variety of purposes.
“The new logo com-petition is not only a mile-stone for the John Pappa-john Center, but it’s also a great opportunity for students,” said Judi Eyles, associate director for the
center. “It’s a rewarding opportunity overall.”
Contestants original-ly had to submit their logo by Monday at midnight. However, due to com-plications with getting the word out, the logo competition has been ex-tended to Monday, Feb. 23 at midnight.
A c c o r d i n g t o t h e Pappajohn Center for En-trepreneurship, the Pap-pajohn Center is “a cata-lyst that brings together the people and ideas necessary for launching and growing successful enterprises.”
T h e l o g o d e s i g n competition is just one way that the Pappajohn Center has offered op-portunities for education and learning for students across Iowa.

NEWS 3Thursday, Feb. 19, 2015
As the United States c o n t i n u e s i t s w o r k t o “degrade, and ultimately destroy” ISIS, President Obama has sent a formal request to Congress for an Authorization for the Use of Military Force against the Islamic terror group.
T h e r e q u e s t c o u l d lead to the first war pow-ers vote in Congress in 13 years, even as the Obama administration says it has the power to continue air-strikes under the 2001 au-thorization for the Global War on Terror.
L a w m a k e r s a c r o s s the country have differing opinions on the new autho-rization, with some saying language is too vague, while others are concerned about another extended war.
“Given the duration of the military involvement, the president’s decision to come to Congress is pru-dent,” said U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
The U.S. has been con-ducting airstrikes along with allies in the region since September.
“I have always said that the president needed to ask Congress for an AUMF re-garding the use of military force against ISIS,” said U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa. “I am hopeful that his request will lead to a long-overdue and robust debate in Congress as to the most effective course of ac-tion to deal with the threats to America posed by ISIS.”
An NBC News/Marist Poll from last week showed that a majority of Ameri-cans wanted their law-maker to support the new authorization.
A total of 54 percent
of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, 60 percent, Republicans, 52 percent and independents, 51 percent, want their rep-resentative in Congress to vote in favor of the mea-sure.
Just 32 percent want Congress to vote against a new authorization. The remainder of Americans are undecided or have no opinion.
“ T h e C o n g r e s s h a s a critical role to play in foreign policy,” said U.S. Rep. David Young, R-Iowa. “House and Senate com-mittees will begin hearings and rigorous oversight on the president’s request and I look forward to a full de-bate. I also look forward to listening to Iowans as they share their thoughts and views.”
While some specific language may be up to interpretation, the new AUMF would allow Ameri-can intervention for three years, most of which the administration wants done from the air. Although, it would also allow limited special force operations on the ground.
The new authorization would repeal the 2002 au-thorization for the war in Iraq, passed under Presi-dent Bush.
While lawmakers seem to agree that Congress should play an important role in debating war, con-gressional members from Iowa seem to be question-ing the AUMF being pro-posed.
“I’m skeptical of giving the president additional authority in this situation without a clear definition of the mission and a clear strategy for success,” Grass-ley said, signaling he may be a “no” vote with the cur-
rent language.Loebsack and other
lawmakers have voiced concern over the possibil-ity of ground troops if the new authorization passes.
“While it is clear that a multi-pronged approach on the part of the U.S. is needed, I continue to have reservations about the ef-ficacy of U.S. ground troops in the region and will con-tinue to need to see a con-certed military effort by America’s allies from the area and beyond,” Loeb-sack said.
“ F i n a l l y , u n d e r n o circumstances should an AUMF allow for an open-e n d e d c o m m i t m e n t o f American ground forces,” Loebsack added.
U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, is the first female veteran to serve in Congress and is also a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, which will hold hearings about the AUMF.
“This is a very impor-tant decision and is worthy of thoughtful, deliberate consideration and debate,” Ernst said. “Our mission is clear. We need a serious bi-partisan solution to destroy ISIS and those radicalized by them.”
As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Ernst will be able to question adminis-tration officials in hearings.
Even with differences in opinion, Congress can expect a lengthy debate in the coming weeks and months about the new au-thorization.
“ I l o o k f o r w a r d t o continuing to discuss the president’s proposal and the most effective and ef-ficient path forward with my colleagues and military leaders in the time ahead,” Ernst said.
The new director of the Lloyd Veterinary Medi-cal Center has known he wanted the job since he was 13 years old.
Dr. Tom Johnson be-came the new director of hospital operations at the Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center on Feb. 9. He said the new position is the ide-al way to have an impact on the future of veterinary medicine as a whole, and that has been his primary goal throughout his career.
Johnson, an ISU grad-uate, said his passion for veterinary medicine began one winter while working on his grandfather’s farm.
When Johnson was a boy, a veterinarian walked about a quarter of a mile in a blizzard to care for a sick calf that Johnson and his grandfather were raising.
“I was so impressed with the dedication to the
profession, and that’s what really swayed me,” Johnson said.
After starting a veteri-nary clinic in his home-town of Spencer, Iowa, and practicing there for 27 years, Johnson worked as the executive director of the Iowa Veterinary Medi-cal Association. He said his new position at Iowa State is significant because it allows him to impact the future of veterinary medi-cine.
“We have to produce what we call in the industry ‘practice-ready veterinar-ians’ that are not only con-fident and hard-working, but are also good citizens. I really stress that,” Johnson said.
Lisa Nolan, dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine, said Johnson’s experience makes him the ideal person for the job.
“Dr. Johnson is quite amazing, really, in that he has 27 years of experience practicing and about a
dozen in the Iowa Veteri-nary Medical Association,” Nolan said. “And that is an organization in which most of the state’s veterinarians are involved in.”
Johnson said the big-gest change at the College of Veterinary Medicine since he attended is the facilities. He said he is ex-cited about what the col-lege is capable of achieving while using them.
“ I t ’ s a b s o l u t e l y a n a m a z i n g f a c i l i t y t h a t , thanks to the state legis-lature and a lot of private donations, we have state-of-the-art equipment that lets us do some amazing things,” Johnson said.
Nolan said Johnson’s enthusiasm for his job is one of the primary reasons he was selected during the national search to fill the position.
“I don’t think you can talk to Dr. Johnson for very long without knowing that he loves this college,” No-lan said.

Sigma Lambda Beta gives voice to men about sexual assault
T h e m e n o f S i g m a Lambda Beta are calling on the male community to help combat sexual assault.
The chapter presented “The Next Generation of Manhood” to a room full of booming conversation in Carver Hall Wednesday night.
“There are significant-ly less males involved in sexual assault prevention work and I really want to increase that,” said Bobby Dennis, prevention spe-cialist at Assault Care Cen-ter Extending Shelter and Support. “If half the popu-lation isn’t that involved, we aren’t going to do any-thing.”
After hearing the con-versation about sexual as-sault across campus and through the media, Joel Ibarra, senior in civil en-gineering and vice presi-dent of Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, knew he had to step up and take part.
After Sigma Lambda Beta worked with ACCESS
for a few years, the frater-nity was able to make con-nections to host an event.
“I’m always really im-pressed by a fraternity that takes steps to end sexual violence, or do anything that uses their power for good,” Dennis said.
While Ibarra person-ally hasn’t been a victim of sexual assault, he said he believes a lot of people are scared to move forward.
“I believe as a male, I have privilege that I don’t have to walk around with my keys in my hand, but I believe that a lot of fe-males don’t have that privi-lege,” Ibarra said. “I kind of want to step up and engage males in our community, especially the ISU campus to do something about it.”
As told in Dennis’ pre-sentation, during the last few semesters, reports of sexual assaults have in-creased at Iowa State, cre-ating a need for the con-versation. Dennis’ job is to increase this discussion amongs males about sexual violence.
“The more that ev-erybody has that ability to talk to each other when
it comes to the attitudes and beliefs that negatively impact sexual violence, the more we’ll be able to prevent sexual violence,” Dennis said.
A moment of silence came during the presenta-tion when Dennis began to talk about bystander inter-vention and the effective-ness of that strategy.
“It hurts me when I see somebody that was try-ing to make some positive sense and stop events from happening and really do
their part,” Dennis said referring to Cale Truhlsen, an ISU student who was as-saulted on Welch Avenue. “It hurts me to see how it came back on him.”
With this, Dennis ex-pressed the importance not to generalize or stereotype groups or genders.
“A vast majority of males aren’t violent,” Den-nis said. “A vast majority of males aren’t okay with this going on and a vast major-ity of males want it to stop.”
I b a r r a s a i d h e h a s
learned to be aware of what is going on around him.
“Just identifying what sexual assault is, like the sex jokes,” Ibarra said. “That is something that I can confess I might have said something in the past, but I know that is something bad and I can point it out to other people, but I don’t personally do myself.”
Dennis hopes men will take away ownership in the capacity to intervene, to prevent sexual violence and to call out people when
they hear negative com-ments.
While the event was focused on men, women did attend and engage in the discussion.
“I think that women need to take away from this, let’s really think about males as alias,” Dennis said. “Especially women in the professional world, the reality of men at work and how I engage at work. How do we talk to close males in our lives to help them get involved?”
Charlie Coffey/Iowa State DailyMichael Davis and Carrie Giese, assistant director and program coordinator for student assistance and outreach services, speak at the Next Genera-tion of Manhood presentation Feb. 18 in Carver Hall.
Because of these con-cerns as they relate to col-lege students, the Eating Disorder Coalition of Iowa, and the ISU Body Image and Eating Disorder Aware-ness group are hosting National Eating Disorders Awareness Week at Iowa State.
Students can partic-ipate in National Eating Disorders Awareness Week activities on campus from Feb. 19 to 27 in efforts to spread awareness and com-bat eating disorders within the ISU community.
“One of our primary goals this year is to reach more of the male Iowa State students,” said Michelle Roling, president of the Eating Disorder Coalition of Iowa and adviser of ISU Body Image and Eating Dis-order Awareness (BIEDA). “Eating disorders have tra-ditionally been thought of as a female struggle, which is not true.”
Rol ing said 1 of 10 college students have an eating disorder and Iowa State has more than 3,500 students actively impacted.
The first event kicks off at 7 p.m. Feb. 19 in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union with headliner Brian Cuban, who will present “Shattered Image: Eating Disorders and Body Dys-morphic Disorder."
“The stigma that eating disorders only affect wom-en exists even though an estimated 10 million males are suffering from eating disorders in the U.S.,” said Rachel Dalton, sophomore
in dietetics and co-presi-dent of BIEDA. “We hope that Brian's presentation helps us to take another step toward one of our club's goals: to destigma-tize eating disorders while raising awareness.”
Body dysmorphic dis-order is a chronic mental illness where a person can-not stop thinking about a flaw in their appearance, causing them to overly ob-sess about fixing this per-ceived flaw on his or her body that is either minor or completely imaginary, ac-cording to the Mayo Clinic.
After his 27-year-long struggle with body dys-morphic disorder, eating disorders and drug addic-tion — all of which almost caused him to end his life at 45 years old — Cuban has restored himself and dedicated his life to helping others do the same.
“I think it’s incumbent upon us to take the respon-sibility to be empathetic to their [those with any kind of disorder] suffering, so they know they’re not alone,” Cuban said on his website. “Whether it’s alcoholism, depression, addiction, eat-ing disorders because from my personal experience, that was the first step for me to real recovery, to know I wasn’t alone.”
Roling said she pre-dicts students will be a little surprised by Cuban’s pre-sentation because his life so clearly demonstrates how cross addiction can hap-pen from trying to remain a certain thinness or trying to obtain it.
According to the Na-
tional Eating Disorders As-sociation (NEDA), “large-scale surveys concluded that male body image con-cerns have dramatically increased during the past three decades from 15 per-cent to 43 percent of men being dissatisfied with their bodies.”
The increase in men dissatisfied with their bod-ies is partly because, like women, men are also fre-quently exposed to soci-ety’s expectations of main-taining a fit physique.
“In the quest to have the ideal body, it’s pretty easy to get addicted to other things,” Roling said. “It’s easy to get addicted to some form of street drug that has side effects of weight loss or addicted to steroids for the purpose of obtaining a buff look.”
NEDA states, “[t]hese portrayals present an ex-tremely, and largely unat-tainable, muscular ideal male body type, which is equivalent to the unattain-able thin female ideal per-petuated by Barbie dolls.”
Both Roling and BIEDA have said they are excited for the upcoming week.
Along with the excite-ment comes hope that students will learn to seek help immediately if they are struggling with any disor-der — not just eating.
“While one aspect of our club is raising aware-ness for those struggling with eating disorders, we also focus on promoting self-love and acceptance,” Dalton said. “Many people have insecurities, and at these events, we hope to
relay a message that en-courages participants to embrace and celebrate their imperfections.”
BIEDA has been an or-ganization at Iowa State for three years and continues to make positive impacts on the ISU community by having self-love activities around campus, such as its latest, ‘Be Your Own Valen-tine,’ which took place the Friday before Valentine’s Day weekend.
“We grabbed a lot of people's attention with our free Dove candies famous for their positive quotes and offered them a heart shaped valentine saying 'I love my blank' and gave them the chance to fill in the blank,” Dalton said.
BIEDA has plans in the fall to hold its very own 5K with hopes to raise aware-ness and continue to grow as an organization at Iowa State.
If you need to seek help or want more infor-mation, visit ISU Student Services, edciowa.org or the ISU BIEDA Facebook page. For those wishing to seek help on campus, visit ISU Student Counseling Ser-vices from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Walk-in appointments for new services are available from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mon-day through Thursday and 8 a.m. to noon Friday.
“The sooner you reach out for support, the greater your chances are of long-term sustained recovery,” Roling said. “Regardless of how long you’ve struggle with the disorder, it's never too late to start recovery."

Planning to enter the workforce as a professor can be extremely difficult without knowing what to expect. Deciding which field to go into, preparing a résumé and having the right work experience can be a long process. Luckily, Iowa State offers a program for graduate students that helps with just that.
The Preparing Future Faculty program has been running since 2002 to help graduate students find their fit in the world of academia.
K a r e n B o v e n m y e r , program coordinator of PFF, has been involved with the program since its beginning.
The program consists of four classes taken dur-ing the course of a gradu-ate student’s time at Iowa State. The program is open to students working toward their master’s or doctoral degree, as well as postdoc-toral scholars.
“It’s for people who want to become profes-
sors,” Bovenmyer said. “The first class that PFF students have is we invite faculty members from oth-er universities and colleges to come to Iowa State and talk to our students about what life is like as faculty at their school.”
The first class taken is a one-credit course in the fall, which meets every oth-er week and is designed to expose graduate students to the faculty experience.
“Some of the students that come in have never seen anything other than a research-intensive institu-tion,” said Holly Bender, associate director of the program.
Speakers come in from small private schools, reli-giously-affiliated schools, highly-selective schools, community colleges and others to talk about their different experiences.
“ W e g e t t h e w h o l e spectrum,” Bender said.
The students prepare all their job materials dur-ing spring semester.
“They’ll emerge with a really well-thought out and highly-reviewed vita,
cover letter, to apply for the job, teaching portfolio, with a teaching philosophy and sample assignments, etcetera,” Bender said.
The remaining courses include a teaching practi-cum and a project-oriented practicum.
The teaching practi-cum gets students to work in the field and gain experi-ence, bringing them to the top of the job application pile.
“ T h e o t h e r o n e w e have is the project-oriented practicum,” Bender said. “You could write a manu-script or a grant, there’s a number of things you could do to fill out your vita and also give you an experience that will make you more valuable to the job market.”
I n a d d i t i o n t o t h e courses, each PFF student has a mentor they will meet twice a month to review their materials and lend a helping hand to their prog-ress.
Last year, 60 people were accepted into the pro-gram after a redesign of PFF allowed for a higher acceptance rate.
Sara Marcketti, asso-ciate director of apparel, events and hospital i ty management, was accept-ed into PFF in 2003 and is now employed by Iowa State.
“It’s an incredible pro-gram because it lets you see different avenues of faculty life,” Marcketti said.
Marcketti received her Ph.D. from Iowa State and was employed as a lecturer immediately afterward.
“Having that level of leadership for graduate preparation really says a lot about the university,” Marcketti said.
Applications require students to submit a let-ter of recommendation by a tenure-track professor and a set of questions to answer.
Applications for the Preparing Future Faculty program are due Monday and can be found on the CELT website.
“The Preparing Future Faculty Program is a pro-gram that truly exists and enjoys helping grad stu-dents with career prep,” Bovenmyer said.

OPINION 5Thursday, Feb. 19, 2015
In life there will be a time w h e n s o m e o f u s w i l l choose to settle down with
the person we love. The per-son will be someone we want to spend the rest of our lives with and conquer the hard-ships and challenges that will inevitably arise. That person is traditionally bound to you through a ceremony.
Marriage is a serious com-mitment made between you and your spouse. It’s a con-tract, if you will. You promise to cherish that person for as long as you live, to share in triumphs as well as in grief. In this marriage, you devote all of yourself to your significant other. This devotion is the reason why being pure before marriage is terribly important.
Yet, the idea of having only one partner before com-mitting to just one may not sound appealing to some. However, there is an emo-tional determent to being promiscuous before tying the knot. The concept of sex is not casual. It is an act that seals a bond between two people. Sex is an emotional connection where you strip yourself of all your walls and allow another person to share in your deep-
est privacies.Considering sex a non-
chalant rendezvous demeans sex’s meaning and what it is supposed to accomplish. The bond that sex creates loses its value the more times it is done. The more partners you have, the more of yourself you leave behind. There is then less you have to offer the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.
As society has evolved, the way we decide to love and how we accomplish that love has changed. Humans have determined many names for how we love. The ideas that we can have multiple partners or have affairs or get divorces are all accepted. Not only is sex deemed casual, but marriage is deemed obsolete.
The idea that there are plenty of ways to love could sound appealing to those looking to experiment. Psy-chologists like to put names to the different forms of love that we have come to recognize. For example, polyamory — a form of love with multiple partners — is a practice that we have started to acknowl-edge in society.
Polyamory is a relation-ship philosophy that rec-ognizes “people’s capacity to share and multiply their love in honest and consen-
sual ways.” Some authors have suggested that polyamory might be a broadly feminist way of conducting relation-ships, empowering women to move away from the op-pressive regime of compul-sory heterosexual monogamy (Ritchie, Ani and Barker, Meg (2005)).
The issue I see with this form of love is the lack of ful-fillment. Something is miss-ing. The idea that you have to share your intimate self with more than one person is incomprehensible to me. It certainly doesn’t seem to be a form of love that could be kept up for a long period of time.
The natural emotions, like jealousy, that humans experience are unavoidable. There would more than likely come a time when the facade could not be held in place. Personally, the feeling of al-ways searching for something, never being satisfied with only one person and having to keep up with multiple relationships seems exhausting.
However, there was a point in my life — as I’m sure many others have experienced — when I considered the no-tion of having multiple sexual relationships before I finally settled down with my one and only. The question I asked myself was, “how could I be
sure that I would be happy with this one person sexually for the rest of my life?”
I entertained that idea for a time, until I came to the conclusion that when I finally meet the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, the intimacies won’t matter. Or, at least, the one I choose to be with forever will be more than satisfactory in that depart-ment. And so, waiting for that one person would be worth it.
“You only need one man to love you. But him to love you free like a wildfire, crazy like the moon, always like to-morrow, sudden like an inhale and overcoming like the tides. Only one man and all of this,” said C. Joybell C.
Because there is a signifi-cant importance in building a strong relationship and taking the time to find that perfect someone as you journey down the path known as life, there are other people you will meet along the way, but intimate encounters aren’t necessary to get to know them.
I’m not saying that you can’t have multiple relation-ships while you are trying to figure life out and find that special someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. It’s the sexual part of those initial relationships that can be done away with.
Courtesy of ThinkstockColumnist Woods believes sharing multiple relationships while trying to find that special someone is OK, but it’s unnecessary to have intimate encounters with each one.
FINDING YOUR ONE LOVELove for ‘the one’ can be reduced by promiscuity before marriage
Once upon a time, Theo-dore Roosevelt, who was the assistant sec-
retary of the Navy, went for a stroll with Rudyard Kipling. They began to debate Britain’s struggle with the jihadists of Sudan. Roosevelt eventually told the poet to, “either gov-ern, or get out!” Wise words. I wish those clamoring for “Iraq War III” would heed them.
Isn’t it clear by now that we have no idea what we’re doing in the Middle East? The Iraq War was the most shameful endeavor a modern American government has ever undertaken.
We invaded a country that had not attacked us and did not want to go to war with us. Every excuse given for the invasion turned out to be false. In the rubble of our vic-tor, a new and more sinister enemy emerged.
There would certainly be no ISIS in Iraq if Saddam Hussein were still in power. Our ill-fated expedition set the horrors of today in motion. Our vainglorious leaders blun-der hopelessly, like Don Quix-ote, still believing themselves to be heroes. It’s clear to the world that Barack Obama has absolutely no grasp on the situation.
During the last campaign,
Obama drew a “red line.” He threatened to attack the Assad regime if chemical weapons were used against the Syrian rebels.
E v e n t u a l l y , c h e m i c a l weapons were used. When Britain voted not to take part in the intervention Obama became timid.
The president covered his retreat by asking Congress for permission to strike — some-thing he did not do in the Lib-yan intervention. Our alleged enemy Vladimir Putin came to the rescue, negotiating a deal with Assad and averting the crisis.
The bulk of these rebels, which Obama was so eager to aid, now calls itself the “Is-lamic State of Iraq and Syria.” Bashar al-Assad’s government is now the principal bulwark against this terrorist state. Who would care now if Assad dropped chemical weapons on the rebels?
We barely skidded by a disaster of monumental pro-portions, but that did not stop Obama from careening right into another.
When the war spi l led into Iraq, the Iraqi Army dis-played cowardice not seen since 1940. Terrorists in Toy-ota pick-up trucks routed an organized, well-equipped, American-funded, modern army. With Iraq appearing to be on the verge of collapse, Obama frantically began or-
dering airstrikes.Some would say that we
have a responsibility to defend Iraq, since we are responsible for destabilizing it. On the other hand, are we to bind ourselves to that country for-ever?
Obama has shown he isn’t serious about defeating ISIS, so perhaps it’s time to leave.
The air campaign against ISIS is purely a containment strategy. Obama’s war effort has been completely dictated by politics.
A g r o u n d c a m p a i g n would cost him approval ratings, so there will be no ground campaign.
The only mercy in war is a swift victory. With Obama as war leader, there will be no victory, and certainly no mercy.
The commander in chief showed his resolve at the Na-tional Prayer Breakfast.
The teleprompter speech read as follows, “And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people commit-ted terrible deeds in the name of Christ.” This is probably one of the strangest things ever said by a wartime presi-dent.
What if Franklin Roos-evelt had said something simi-lar in 1943? What if FDR had
told the Jews not to get on a high horse because 5000 years ago they massacred Jericho? Thousands of Christians have been driven from their homes, their churches turned to mosques, the women raped, their children enslaved and the message from the presi-dent of the United States is, “get off your high horse.”
The president is also curi-ously reluctant to use the word “Islam” in reference to ISIS. His press secretary is con-stantly doing verbal gymnas-tics to avoid saying the word.
A war cannot be fought with political correctness. I will reiterate, if we aren’t seri-ous about fighting ISIS, let’s get the hell out.
I suspect ISIS will still be around in 2016. Obama is in-tent on dumping the problem on his successor.
Instead of making real policy decisions, Obama is busy making impossible dec-larations. He’ll raise the mini-mum wage, tax the rich, make college free and do all this while he rains missiles down in a war he does not intend to win.
Recently, ISIS released a video showing the beheading of 21 Coptic Christians. There will be many more martyrs in the coming months.
My only wish is that there will be no more American martyrs in this never-ending war.

Some would argue that the hardest part of starting a movement of change is the beginning. As we’ve progressed through the years, the charge to end sexual assaults, both on campus and in society, has undergone a transforma-tion that has brought all of the right kinds of awareness to a violence that hinders our society today. Even more recently, the “It’s On Us” campaign has blanketed campuses across the nation, including Iowa State.
It was Cale Truhlsen who stepped up when a group of men began harass-ing a woman who Truhlsen had no re-lationship with on Feb. 8. He intervened like all of the posters, campaigns and videos we see asked him to. As a result of his human decency, he was hospitalized with a hole in his intestines, a broken nose and two eyes that were swollen shut. It wasn’t the first kind of cowardly attack on a student or Ames resident in the Campustown area. And with the way things are now, it won’t be the last.
Truhlsen is the kind of male role model the ISU, Ames and American society needs to see. Regardless of the outcome, when “it was on him,” he made the right move. His mother, Jen-nifer Truhlsen, made an alarming and sobering comment when talking about her son’s assault in a previous interview with the Daily. She said, “Can you imag-ine if those guys had gone after that girl the way they went after my son?”
Maybe Truhlsen was in the right place at the right time with the wrong group of people. Recognizing the situa-tion and acting on it was the right thing to do, but unfortunately for Truhlsen, his actions caused him to be intensely beaten in the middle of the 400 block of Welch Avenue. Around bar closing hours, numerous intoxicated people exit the establishments in the heav-ily populated Welch Avenue area. At a time when assaults, public intoxication and numerous other crimes are at their peak, there wasn’t any type of security measure around to help catch the men who viciously attacked Truhlsen.
What the men did to Truhlsen is a crime. Ames Police patrol the area regu-larly but not having any type of security camera to help deter crime or protect Truhlsen, his friends or the woman he helped that night feel safe, should be a crime in itself.
Ames police said it has hoped to install security cameras in high traffic areas of Campustown. But thanks to the Ames City Council, that hope will remain stagnant. The Council voted down the proposal to put up security cameras in Campustown in the past. So, until that hope becomes a reality, the assaults and other crimes will continue. Instead of relying on witnesses who may or may not be intoxicated at the time of a crime, rely on the physical evidence of a security tape.
It was on Truhlsen to step up and protect the random female. But now, it’s on law enforcement and Campustown businesses to step up and keep students like Truhlsen safe from the tragic con-sequences he endured for doing the right thing.

SPORTS6 Thursday, Feb. 19, 2015
Goals are a way to measure success, while achievements are put in the record books.
After four years as a member of the ISU ten-nis team, senior Meghan Cassens has seen the good, the bad and the record books.
Cassens surpassed previous ISU tennis play-ers Sarah Berres and Ma-rie-Christine Chartier, who each had 62 wins, to move to second in ISU tennis history for over-all career singles wins. Chartier obtained this record in 2012, whereas Berres finished her career in 1987.
Cassens earned her 63rd win against Omaha and 64th against Utah State on Feb. 7.
Cassens is also tied for third in overall wins for singles and doubles with 114 wins. These wins come with four years of competition, and good and bad moments of a long career.
Entering as one of only five star tennis re-cruits at Iowa State, Cas-sens and coach Armando Espinosa had high expec-tations.
Espinosa believes
that Cassens was placed in the three or four spot because he had the ex-pectation that she was going to start in the line-up as a freshman, but she didn’t have the firepower to play at the top spot right away.
“There’s always a moment in a player’s ca-reer where the decision to quit comes in your head,” Cassens said. “That mo-ment came during my sophomore year at the Florida Gulf Coast Invi-tational.”
Cassens placed sev-enth out of eight spots and was frustrated with some of her coaching, so she was deliberating between transferring or quitting tennis altogeth-er.
The assistant coach that year was Rodrigo Puebla and the three se-nior players believed that Puebla didn’t think they were playing to their po-tential. With all of this in Cassens’ head, she sat down with Espinosa for two hours at the invita-tional and discussed her future at Iowa State.
Without the help that Espinosa provided, Cas-sens would have trans-ferred or quit the team that week.
E s p i n o s a s a i d h e wanted to comfort Cas-
sens during her difficult time, which created a more personal under-standing of one another.
Cassens decided to stay with the team and Espinosa said he was happy with her decision to stay because she won some important matches for the team after that particular moment.
“ I t t o o k M e g h a n some time to find out who she was as a tennis player and I think now that she understands her game, she’s more com-fortable on the court,” Espinosa said.
After reflecting over her four years, Cassens’ highlight memory was the weekend tennis match in
her hometown of Seattle during the regular season of her sophomore year.
“ M y f a m i l y a n d friends were able to come to the matches, which was really special because my friends have never seen me play tennis,” Cassens said.
Being able to hug her friends and family and go home after the match, Cassens felt like she was in high school again.
The other members of the team had the op-portunity to see Cassens’ house and enjoy a dinner made by Cassens’ moth-er. The team was also able to travel to Pike Place Fish Market and the very first Starbucks ever made.
“ T h e S e a t t l e t r i p felt more like home to be honest because Cas-sens’ family treated us like family,” said senior Caroline Andersen. “I’ve always wanted to go to Washington and being able to go with the tennis team made it even more memorable.”
Along with the mem-ories, Cassens had a few goals entering her senior year that unfortunately she wasn’t able to accom-plish. One was to be play-ing No. 1 or 2 this regular season, but she under-stands the skill levels of senior Ksenia Pronina and sophomore Saman-tha Budai. The other was to be ranked in singles, but she hasn’t been able to play against ranked opponents this season because the three spot doesn’t play many ranked opponents.
“I think she’s earned her way to be in front of me because she’s worked really hard to show she can win some difficult matches,” Budai said. “But it also motivates me to play better because I need to earn the number two spot with Meghan right behind me.”
Cassens hopes she left a legacy and did ev-erything she could to help her team win during her
career.“ I h o p e t h e y g o t
what they expected as one of the higher recruits they’ve had in the pro-gram,” Cassens said. “I knew the expectations they had for me and I hope I achieved them in the right manner.”
E s p i n o s a h a s watched Cassens grow into a mature leader who respects the game, but shows competitiveness on the court.
“Her demeanor on the court is what I’ll re-member the most from her,” Espinosa said. “She might be up 5-0 in the second set and miss a ball and she’s not very happy, so she’ll scream and yell even though she’s up. That’s just who she is and that’s what has made her the player she is today.”
Wins are more es-sential for Cassens and capturing a Big 12 title is the goal each season. Records are nice to have as a confidence booster, but at the end of the day, team wins are what she’s looking for each match.
“The ability to have these records happen over the generation of four years is pretty cool,” Cassens said. “I can’t wait to show my children in the future about these accomplishments.”

At times, it was five shots. At others, it was nine and each number in be-tween. Whatever Chonlada Chayanun’s lead was in the final round of the Lady Puer-to Rico Classic, it was never in doubt.
The senior notched her first collegiate victory by five shots in wire-to-wire fashion against a field that featured five top-25 teams and more than a dozen individuals in the top 100 of the Golfweek rankings.
Though Chayanun’s victory came in one of Iowa State’s traditionally toughest tournaments, the stingiest opponent for her to over-come may have been re-bounding from a near miss just one week prior to the event.
At the UCF Challenge on Feb. 10, Chayanun held
a share of the lead heading into the final round. After six career top-10 finishes, she was as close as she had ever come to finding the winner’s circle, but had a day to forget after posting a nine-over-par round of 81 to fall to a tie for 24th place.
“I learned a lot of things from the last tournament, the last round I played bad and I just learned from that and put it toward this tour-nament,” Chayanun said. “Last tournament I shot 81 because it was windy and I kept adjusting my putting and tried to play with the wind and it just didn’t work at all. This tournament I was just pretending that there was no wind and played normal.”
Chayanun’s simplistic approach paid off as she became the first Cyclone to earn solo medalist hon-ors since Kendra Hanson in 2007.
“It feels pretty amazing,
actually,” Chayanun said. “I’m really happy because this is my first winning tour-nament in college. I’ve been here for four years and this is my first win.”
It would have been No. 33 Iowa State’s first team win in three years, but the Cyclones finished in third place, eight shots shy of earning an ISU sweep.
Iowa State briefly held a two-shot lead midway through the final round, but a late surge from the Razorbacks and some blun-ders from the Cyclones on the back nine resulted in a seven-shot lead against No. 16 LSU.
Celia Barquin was one Cyclone who tamed Rio Mar Country Club’s back nine in the final round. She closed with a back-nine 35 to finish with a 71 and a tie for 20th place out of 82 golfers.
In her freshman cam-paign, Barquin has led or co-led her team in four of
six events and is Iowa State’s highest-ranked golfer . Nonetheless, Barquin was displeased with her first and second rounds of 74 and 77, which kept her out of medal-ist contention.
“The first round I was two-over[-par], which is not really a good result,” Barquin said. “My second round was awful, the whole thing was really bad. Then finally my last round, I tried to do better and keep calm and no worries. It was much better, but I’m still not play-ing really good.”
Barquin said she al-ready has her sights set on working toward the team’s next event, which will come in the form of the Hurricane Invitational on March 2 in Coral Gables, Fla.
With another win in Florida, Chayanun would become the first back-to-back victor during ISU coach Christie Martens’ 11-year tenure at Iowa State.

IOWA STATE DAILY
AMES 24/7 7Thursday, Feb. 19, 2015
With his unique and animated comedy style, Ga-briel Iglesias is bringing his Hawaiian shirts and “Fluffy” memorabilia to Ames at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Stephens Auditorium.
Uniting people through laughter is important to Iglesias, who has been to all 50 United States — both big and small cities — and toured all over the world.
The idea for Iglesias’ Unity Through Laughter World Tour began when Iglesias was performing in Saudi Arabia and Iglesias saw a Saudi Arabian prince and a U.S. ambassador seat-ed next to each other.
“They were both sitting next to each other in the front row and I was like, ‘re-ally? This is what brings peo-ple together?’” Iglesias said. “The show itself was uniting people, and that’s where the whole ‘Unity Through Laughter’ came from.”
With 90 percent of fans calling him ‘Fluffy,’ Iglesias premiered his “Gabriel Igle-sias: Aloha Fluffy” special on Comedy Central in a two-night special to more than 15 million viewers.
Also well-known for his “Hot & Fluffy” and “I’m Not Fat … I’m Fluffy” TV spe-cials, Iglesias most recently wrapped up filming “Magic Mike XXL,” reprising his role as Tobias, and will be seen alongside actors such as Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello, which hits theaters this July.
As one of America’s most successful stand-up comedians, Iglesias grew up in Long Beach, Calif., and always wanted to become a comedian.
“[Comedy] is what I set out to do. This isn’t a Plan B,” Iglesias said. “I had a dream of becoming a co-median and I made that happen, so for me, I’m al-ways living that dream. I do get recognized daily, but if I’m going out somewhere I expect it.”
Iglesias remembers the first time he was recognized in Tucson, Ariz., after only six months of being a co-
median, when he was at a restaurant with two other comedians.
“The waiter [came] over, and I had done one TV show, and it just so happens that that waiter saw that one TV show and he recognized me, and he just flipped out,” Iglesias said. “It was pretty cool. I just remember walk-ing out of that restaurant and I had a little glow.”
Some of the best advice Iglesias ever received was from comedian Joey Medi-na, who told him there was no need to be a dirty comic. By cleaning up his act, Me-dina informed Iglesias he would be television-ready and avoid an extensive ed-iting process to bleep out cuss words.
“In the beginning, I was a super-dirty comic. I was filthy,” Iglesias said. “[Medi-na] said, ‘You’re very likable and you don’t need to cuss.’ The best advice I ever got was, ‘Work clean and you’ll go further.’ After that, I tried to keep it squeaky-clean until I got to the position where people wanted to pay to see the show. The show’s not squeaky-clean, by no means, but it’s not a filthy show all the way.”
For his tour, Iglesias travels with two tour buses, three trailers and a number of people involved in the show, which is quite a chal-lenge for him.
“In the beginning, all I had to worry about was just me, [but now] it’s a team. I feel like a rapper,” Iglesias said.
To prepare for larger shows, Iglesias creates his comedic material while playing at smaller comedy clubs.
“I call it the comedy gym. When I go to the club, that’s where I work stuff out,” Iglesias said. “Once you’re doing a huge arena, that material better have been worked out, better been honed, better been crafted right because these people paid [and] they ex-pect to be entertained on that level.”
With more and more p e o p l e c o m i n g t o s e e “Fluffy,” Iglesias said he used to stick around to in-teract with fans after the
bigger shows, but staying afterward was often as long or longer than his full per-formance.
“Each group that would come up [was] an actual meeting each time, so imag-ine just a huge line and ev-eryone wants to come up. And you don’t want to rush anybody. They had a good time and they want to talk to you,” Iglesias said. “There’s a connection there. The last thing you want to do is take that away from them.”
With a nickname like “Fluffy,” Iglesias said he definitely gets the name “Fluffy” more than “Ga-briel.”
“For the most part, [Fluffy] is all I get,” Iglesias said. “I’m cool with it. I put it out there, so I’m expecting it now.”
Beyond comedy, Igle-sias has a clothing company at home, a production com-pany, where he produces specials for other comics, and does a lot of online con-tent.
Owning more than 700 Hawaiian shirts at one point in time, Iglesias has Twitter contests for fans to win one of his iconic shirts with a photo of him wearing it.
Iglesias is on the road for more than 40 weeks of the year, so when he has free time, he enjoys spend-ing it with his family when he goes home. “Fluffy” is thankful for his fans and recently purchased the car of his dreams: a 21-window, Volkswagen bus.
“ I f I h a v e a c o u p l e hours to myself, I’ll jump in my car, take a little drive, go to Starbucks, say ‘hi’ to some people and drive back home. For me, a break is being at the house play-ing with the dogs, playing with the car,” Iglesias said. “I don’t take vacations be-cause vacation[ing] [is] ex-actly what I’m doing right now. I’m at an airport, at a hotel, on a shuttle bus, I’m in a lobby, I’m going out to eat — that’s what I do now, but I’m telling jokes along with it,” Iglesias said.
Tickets for Gabriel Igle-sias’ show are available via Ticketmaster and can also be purchased between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday
through Friday at the Ste-phens Auditorium ticket office. Prices are listed at $33, $48 and $68.

the Ames community as a whole would be included in the process.
“There will be some conversation with folks in the Ames community,” Hall said. “Ames often gets a very positive response from can-didates.”
ISU students said they also see the benefit of hav-ing a chief diversity officer.
“Culture is really inter-esting,” Busch said. “Diver-sity is really important to every institution.”
The search for a chief diversity officer will take months to complete be-cause The Spelman and Johnson Group and the search committee must de-fine the roles of the posi-
tion before they can choose candidates, Bystrom said. Because the search commit-tee must define the role that the new position will play at Iowa State, the search requires getting input from the community.
The first round of can-didate interviews is sched-uled for July to August and on-campus interviews in September and October. Leath has said he would like to fill the position by late fall 2015 or early spring 2016.
Another town meeting will take place Thursday from 10:10 to 11 a.m. in the Cardinal Room of the Me-morial Union.
Additional town meet-ings will be held through April for the university com-munity to provide input.

why students are voting for candidates.”
Sen. Hamad Abbas said most people run for vice president not to chair the meetings, but to do something for the student body.
“This is a meeting for the senate,” Abbas said. “I don’t see why anoth-er branch is chairing our meetings.”

amendment to change cer-tain senate actions.
One amendment they voted on changed the vot-ing process in senate meet-ings.
Previously, the bill re-quired two-thirds majority
of seated senators, which entails all senators in GSB.
This was replaced with a vote with majority of all voting senators, meaning senators who are present at the meetings.
A b b a s s a i d a v o t e should be counted by those who are present.
“If you’re not here, you should not count,” Abbas said. “There’s always valid excuses for missing the meeting, but it should not hurt what we have here.”
This was also the first GSB meeting in which the senators said the Pledge of Allegiance before begin-ning their order of busi-ness.
This is what was in at press time. Check online for the full story.
