The timing of the lecture “Against the Winds of Tyran-ny” was accidental but fit the current environment.
Brian Farrell, the director of the College of Law’s Citizen Lawyer Program, delivered a lecture Thursday night as a launch for his book, Habeas Corpus in International Law.
“Habeas corpus is a key tool to maintain the rule of law,” Farrell said. “The thing is, though, it can car-ry a lot of baggage and has different connotations for different countries.”
Farrell said habeas corpus is the judicial review of the le-gality of a person’s detention.
He initially was inter-ested in habeas corpus be-cause of judges and their “role as checks on the exec-utive branch.”
The concept was originally included in the Magna Carta so people who were wrongfully arrested or imprisoned could defend themselves in court. The judges at the time used the power they held under ha-beas corpus, giving themselves more say in government.
Even in a state of emer-gency, such as war, natu-ral disaster, terrorism, or strikes, habeas corpus can-not be suspended.
“Generally, most legisla-tion is made to restrict, rath-er than strengthen, habeas corpus,” Farrell said. “But the
suspension of habeas corpus would mean no balance for po-litical branches.”
Throughout history, the
concept has changed from defending peasants under a

A year full of preparation and motivation has led to today for the families and members of Dance Marathon. Its 24-hour Big Event is just a few hours away.
Along with the amazing traditions and activities that Dance Marathon has picked up over the years, new activities and fea-tures have been added this year as the organization progresses.
“I’ve really taken it upon myself to make this year a fun and meaningful experience for everyone involved,” said Event Com-mittee director Mason Edwards. “I want dancers to come to the event and enjoy themselves and for them to understand the kind of impact every single person there is making. In addition to that, we want to make sure that all 24 hours, people are entertained.
“It’s a long time that they’re committing themselves to, pretty much an entire weekend of standing on their feet and being active.”
Edwards, along with the rest of the Event Committee, has worked for a year to implement new activities for the Big Event.
“We really wanted to build a more interactive event for the dancers because making it through the 24 hours can be diffi-cult,” said entertainment head Maddy Woodfine.
Some of the new additions include laser tag, sumo wrestling, and a texture walk.
“We are going to utilize the Hawkeye Room and use it for la-ser tag, which should be a really fun, new experience,” Woodfine

DANCE MARATHON2017

The Women’s March inspired many peo-ple across the nation, including Jeremiah Anthony, a local activist who has been heav-ily involved in a new wave of social-media activism called #March2Movement.
The nationally recognized nonprofit, Peace First, held a live Twitter event on Thursday evening with that movement.
One of the elected members of the organization, called a “peacemaker,” was Anthony, founder of the “WestHi-ghBros,” an internationally recognized Twitter account that originated at Iowa City West High.
The event was created in response to the various women’s marches that oc-curred throughout the world. The goal is to inspire this generation to not stop combat-ing inequality after the various marches and to create an ongoing movement.
Anthony said it is important to tell the youth of today that they are “the now and not just the future” and that they can make a difference today.
“The issues of sexism, racism, homopho-bia affect everyone,” he said.
Many individuals participated in the conversation, and the peacemakers were responsible for facilitating the conversa-tions among their followers. The Peace First Twitter account tweeted various questions throughout an hour time span, opening the conversation to the general public.
The questions asked about the charac-teristics of an inclusive movement, what can be done to empower the youth of today, and how people can begin to take action toward ending injustice.
Anthony presented many thoughts to the conversation about creating an inclusive movement. He tweeted, “By understanding that a person’s per-

to help give representation to a variety of individuals and allow them to express themselves through art.
“It’s to show how art al-lows us to articulate our cultural and linguistic dif-ferences and emphasize the importance of bringing those differences to the surface and come togeth-er to see the similarities and the differences in a re-laxed, comfortable setting of art, writing, and music,” said Bryan Flavin, the president of the Translate Iowa Project.
The show featured var-ious works from seven in-dividuals in the Universi-ty of Iowa who expressed pieces of their identities through their art.
Natalia Welzen-bach-Marcu, the art edi-tor of earthwords and me-dia and design director for Outreach, helped plan the event.
“It doesn’t help anybody to be afraid of someone because their culture is different from their own,” Welzenbach-Marcu said. “I understand the saying everyone is essentially the same inside, but I also think it’s important to rec-ognize that there are very vast differences between cultures and that’s OK.”
Welzenbach-Marcu had work featured in a project with Ashley Chong featur-ing poetry that showcased their bilingual and tri-lingual backgrounds. She said that differences in in-dividuals and cultures can be presented best through universal media, such as art and music.
UI sophomore Elaine Ir-vine had an intaglio print depicting numerous faces featured in the show.
“I always love drawing faces; I always sketch fac-es, so that was part of it, but I didn’t want to do the same faces over and over again, so I drew a huge array of them; it got me in mindset of the strangers that we’re always around,” Irvine said. “They all have their own stories and their own experiences, and we only ever see their faces.”
Irvine said it’s import-ant to have numerous perspectives represented through every medium; art, journalism, and pol-itics, and shows such as this can help inform peo-ple from different paths of life.
“If you’re looking to edu-cate yourself or open your mind or learn more about
stuff you already know or just want to see some cool art; I think it’s a good place to start,” Irvine said. “It’s good to go somewhere with different perspectives with identities behind it.”
Even though Flavin is graduating, both he and Welzenbach-Marcu hope to hold more events like this in the future.
“I think first and fore-most it’s about provid-ing a platform for people who may sometimes be underrepresented and providing the platform so they’re understood,” Fla-vin said. “Providing that space where the exchange can happen in a very com-fortable setting, and that being an art showcase or that being a concert with music or a performance where across cultural and linguistic boundaries a lot remains the same.”
ception is their reality, we create a more under-standing world.”
He also shared that ranking injustice among others does not advance the movement. “An injus-tice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere [and] is a two-way street. Pain is pain,” he tweeted.
The peacemakers fea-tured included Jasmine Babers, the founder of Love, GIRLS Magazine. Upon hearing that her best friend was being bullied, Babers started a self-esteem/anti-bully-
ing magazine for young women by young women.
The magazine now fea-tures writers from Iowa City, the Quad City area, Memphis, and Washington, D.C. She is an advocate for women’s issues and has been recognized nationally for her activism.
Prior to the event, Babers said she was ex-cited to engage with her followers and to get the conversation started. “Peace First is trying to [feed] off the activist en-ergy in light of the recent election,” she said.
Babers wants to use this time to continue to inspire proactive change.
“[The election] is one of first detrimental sit-
uations this generation of young people has ex-perienced,” she said. “The hate that has risen from the results is in-spiring a lot of people to be young activists.”
The “WestHighBros” Twitter account was creat-ed to combat cyberbullying in West High. The account holders send out anonymous compliments to its follow-ers in an attempt to raise self-esteem and validate in-dividuals in a positive way. Anthony won many awards throughout the community for his work and later gained international recognition.
In its prime, WestHigh-Bros reached more than 700 followers and 60 coun-tries, and it was shared in
more than 70 languages on six continents. The move-ment was also featured on the “Today Show,” Reader’s Digest and “Time for Kids.”
“I never expected it to get that big,” Anthony said.
Anthony said that al-though he does not par-take in much hands-on work with WestHighBros, he oversees the organiza-tion and is looking at the bigger picture.
He said his main goal is to recognize those who al-so believe in his cause and continue to spread positiv-ity throughout the world. “[The youth] is here to invent the future of activ-ism, and it is time that we encourage them in their efforts,” he said.
monarch’s rule to freeing prisoners of war and jour-nalists being detained in states of conflict. Its main purpose is to ensure the ex-ecutive branch is bound by established laws.
The most recent example of judges being used as checks on an executive order would be Judge Ann Donnelly’s stay on President Trump’s immigration ban. The stay was ordered Jan. 28, five
days before the lecture.This lecture, however, was
not a response to the stay.“This was planned two
months ago, although it is interesting timing,” Farrell said. “I think people are making the assumption the two events are related.”
The immigration ban, related to the lecture or not, has been relevant for many UI students.
Monzer (Moe) Shakally, an intern at the Iowa City Foreign Relations Council, is originally from Damascus, Syria.
He can’t leave the country,
even though he hasn’t seen his family in three years.
“It’s confusing,” he said. “I really don’t know what’s go-ing to happen.”
Any initial victories will produce momentum, he said. Any other executive or-ders that are controversial will be challenged.
Farrell, even though his lecture was not about the newest exercise of habeas corpus, had something to say on the matter.
“This topic is histor-ical,” he said. “This top-ic is not new [and], the themes are consistent.”
It served in India in the 1970s, in Latin America in the 1980s, Guantánamo Bay in the 2000s. These are just dramatic moments in an on-going story, he said.
“It was very interesting,” said UI student Sabareen Mohamed, a member of Far-rell’s Introduction to Human Rights class. “It’s not really a topic that I’m well aware of.”
“We need to more firmly define and strengthen habe-as corpus,” Farrell said. “If we can take someone and hurry them away, that is one of the most chilling and dangerous things a state can do.”
said. “We wanted to provide dancers with another space to go if they don’t feel like being in the big ballroom.”
Edwards said one new feature he especially looks forward to seeing the danc-ers use is the texture walk.
“A texture walk is basical-ly a tool that dancers can use to alleviate the pain in their feet by walking over differ-ent kinds of textures that will be soothing to their feet,” Edwards said. “We’re hoping dancers utilize that to the best of their abilities to make sure their feet don’t hurting
as much as possible.”Besides having such ac-
tivities as karaoke, laser tag, and sumo wrestling, Dance Marathon will provide danc-ers with activity rooms. The Event Committee has made new additions to the rooms for Dance Marathon 23.
“We have five activity rooms that run during the night hours around 1 a.m. to 7 a.m., right when peo-ple are beginning to hit a wall,” Edwards said. “We have a couple new addi-tions to those rooms this year, including a glow in the dark room with black lights and a carnival room where you can come and win small prizes. Those rooms are used to help peo-
ple get out of their heads and ignore that their feet are hurting.”
Campus-relations head Hanna Beary said she is ready for dancers to take advantage of all that the Big Event has to offer.
“We have a lot of new things coming to the IMU that we’ve never tried to do before,” she said.
Dance Marathon has been around for more than 22 years and changed a lot since its beginnings. However, the reason the organization is so committed to what the members do has not.
“Every year, more and more kids are diagnosed with cancer, and so the pro-
gram has to get that much larger every year. All we do is for the kids, and we’ve got to grow with them,” Beary said.
Dance Marathon leaders are always looking for ways to improve.
“We are always looking to improve not only the event but our entire organiza-tion year-round,” Edwards said. “The sole purpose is to make sure that we are doing as much as we can for the families, and I think that’s why you’ve seen such incredible growth by our organization throughout the years, because we are always committed, and we’re not just OK with how things are. We always want to look to improve stuff.”

In the IMU on Thursday, engineer Associate Dean Tonya Peeples stood in front of a crowd of prosper-ous young girls, sharing her experience as a female engineer while leading a panel on how she would encourage more women to partake in STEM fields.
A study from the Na-tional Girls Collaborative Project reported that only 19.2 percent of engineer-ing degrees have been awarded to women.
The lack of women in engineering remains prev-alent in the University of Iowa, with only 26 percent total of female undergrad-uate students in the Col-lege of Engineering.
To shed light on the sub-ject, Peeples, a professor of chemical and biochem-ical engineering, hosted a Lunch & Learn for Wom-en in Technology. She was invited by the UI Provost’s Office Outreach and En-gagement to talk about inclusion and how it fits in with this semester’s theme of Our Lives Online.
“This is an area where there is a lot of opportuni-ty for career development, and the number of wom-en pursuing these careers is actually declining,” she said. “I want to get the community thinking about what the major issues are.”
Peeples said she be-lieves the reason so many
women feel averse to en-gage with technology may stem from childhood.
“In earlier ages, many girls get engaged with math, but then something happens. When girls are younger, doing math is something that’s not seen as attractive or feminine,” Peeples said. “It also has to do a lot with the environ-ment that pushes women out. Women are not as sup-ported to advance as their male counterpart; you es-pecially see that in a lot of technology companies.”
Aside from this panel, Peeples has served on the Gender Equity Board of the UI Office of the Ex-ecutive Vice President & Provost and has looked in-to female faculty in engi-neering, but this was her first time reaching out to prospective students.
UI senior Sydney Knox studies computer engineering.
“There are maybe a cou-ple other women in engi-neering in my classes. I’m usually one of five max-imum,” Knox said. “It’s an everyday thing, so I’m pretty used to it, though there are moments where you scope around the class, and it kind of hits you.”
Although Knox said she’s never faced any dis-crimination at school, she feels she has additional pressure compared to her male colleagues. “You have lesser representation, so you have a bigger pressure
to do well,” she said. “If we failed a class, it would re-flect all women, but that’s absent for all men.”
However, outside of the classroom, Knox has report-ed on instances during her internship where she was accused of getting the job solely based on her gender.
Knox said she also be-lieves young girls are con-tinually told to stay away from engineering.
“I think that from my perspective, people still view engineering as a very manly field,” she said. “It’s a subconscious pressure that girls shouldn’t be in-terested in it.”
UI senior Yashila Per-meswaran, who studies computer engineering, thinks girls are afraid to step across boundaries.
“There’s a misconception that if you go into engineer-ing, then you’re cold and you don’t care for people,” she said. “A lot of women were taught early on that you need to care about peo-ple, but I still think we can be caring as engineers. You can still make a difference and still help people. I don’t think that’s well communi-cated enough.”
Permeswaran sees events like Lunch & Learn as highly benefi-cial for girls who are con-sidering engineering.
“I think exposing girls to technology can give them the idea that this is a real possibility for them,” she said.
Sparking STEM interest
By KASRA [email protected]
The human brain contains 86 billion neurons on average. From these 3 pounds of tis-sue, humans get their behav-ior, emotion, and memories.
Brain disorders account for a large fraction of dis-abilities in the world. The need to research cures for disorders including Alz-heimer’s, Parkinson’s, and autism is increasing in im-portance, as evidenced by the recent signing of the 21st Century Cure Act, which earmarked $1.6 bil-lion in increased funding for brain-disorder research.
Understanding how the brain works to determine potential cures for disorders is the primary goal of Ted Abel, the director of the Io-wa Neuroscience Institute and a welcome addition to the University of Iowa.
“The cost and expense of
brain disorders to society, families, and individuals is extraordinarily high,” he said. “I know firsthand about the impact of these disorders — my son is on the autism spectrum. Our responsibili-ty as scientists and neuro-scientists is to understand the brain and the nervous system so that we can work to make lives better.”
Abel brings his passion for neuroscience, a team of scientists, and many years of leadership and research at the University of Pennsylva-nia to the UI’s longstanding neuroscience community.
“The research in my lab is driven by trying to under-stand how memory works and persists,” Abel said. “One of the amazing things about memories is we can have them for decades. We are able to perturb or en-hance them [memories], but we don’t fully under-stand the mechanism that
underlies many diseases.”Cognitive symptoms in-
volving memory are impli-cated in numerous disorders.
“Our lab investigates a wide range of scientific questions, including how sleep deprivation affects brain functioning and mem-ory and how autism-related gene mutations affect brain development and behavior,” said Sarah Ferri, a UI post-doctoral scholar in Abel’s lab. “We strive to make dis-coveries that have a positive impact on people’s lives, ev-eryone from shift workers deprived of a good night’s sleep to patients suffering from severe brain disorders.”
Ferri, who has known Abel for more than eight years, al-so knows about his ability to support colleagues and lead a research institute.
“Our work embodies both basic and translational research, the marriage of which is an important com-
ponent to Dr. Abel’s mission as director,” Ferri said. “As a mentor, he [Abel] encour-ages us to apply for grants, attend conferences, give talks, and get involved in multiple projects through collaborating and network-ing. He gives us freedom to explore our ideas, which I truly appreciate, and helps us advance our experi-ments and think bigger.”
The Iowa Neuroscience Institute recently received a $45 million gift from the Carver Charitable Trust, and Abel has identified key areas in which to build the institute.
“We need to grow facul-ty,” he said. “To accomplish this, we want to build the core facilities and be sup-portive of pilot grants.”
The Iowa Neuroscience Institute does not only cover research, it also promotes ed-ucation and outreach. Joshua Weiner, a UI associate pro-fessor of biology and associ-
ate director of education and outreach for the institute, will spearhead this effort.
“I hope to coordinate ef-forts to establish a new un-dergraduate major in neu-roscience as well as reaching out to the campus, Iowa City, the state of Iowa, and the na-tion to highlight the exciting advances in basic, transla-tional, and clinical neuro-science that our faculty are making,” Weiner said. “I’ve really enjoyed working with Ted so far and look forward to continuing to do so as we get our programs underway.”
The involvement of the Neuroscience Institute will give students, even under-graduates, access to cut-ting-edge research. Abel has a strong passion for and com-mitment to educating the next generation of scholars.
“One of the things that I am the proudest of in my ca-reer is to see an undergrad-uate student I mentored go
the full cycle and become a professor,” Abel said.
In describing milestones for the institute, he said the first five years are going to be mainly about growing re-search programs and faculty.
“Providing institutional support for faculty is critical, because it gives them the time to develop ideas and the freedom to be creative,“ Abel said. “The alumni here have been so welcoming and supportive of this goal.”
He and the institute also seek to identify the strengths, both scientific and cultural, of the community.
“The main thing that is going to help improve the understanding of the brain is a community. Not the next gene, not the next pa-per, not even the next Nobel Prize,” Abel said. “I always welcome people contacting me with ideas, and I hope as an institute, we can con-nect more broadly.”

Starting next fall, the first outdoor classroom will make its way onto campus, with organiz-ers hoping to improve student life.
The University of Iowa Gardeners plan to open an outdoor classroom with the new garden next fall for gardeners, student organizations, and courses.
In August 2016, The Daily Iowan reported that the UI Student Gov-ernment will aid the UI Gardeners’ $17,000 proj-ect to help begin a new on-campus garden. The garden, which will be located near North Hall, will include the outdoor classroom and will be set up like a conference room and even have WiFi.
Construction of the classroom and garden will start in the late sum-mer, so it will be done by next fall, said Jacob Simpson, a co-president of the UI Gardeners.
“Traditional class-rooms are not always the best place to engage in, and being outdoors al-lows students to experi-ence learning with a dif-ferent perspective,” said Akash Bhalerao, a mem-ber of the UISG Sustain-ability Committee. “Stu-dents are often trapped inside on nice days.”
UISG Sen. Lindsey
Rayner, who chairs the Student Life Commit-tee, said the classroom not only focuses on sus-tainability but is a tool to assist mental illness-es by surrounding peo-ple with nature.
The UI Gardeners have received $849 in funding from the Green Initiatives Fund to start a hydroponics system, allowing plants to grow without soil in the Bi-ology Building East greenhouse, Simpson said. The system allows plants to be grown all year long.
The Green Initia-tives Fund became available three years ago in UISG to help support student orga-nizations that encour-age sustainability.
Bhalerao argued that people often use the excuse that sustain-able options are more expensive, which may sometimes be true but sometimes not. In ad-dition to funding a new hydroponics system, he noted that the fund helps student organiza-tions pay the difference in eco-friendly T-shirts and reusable bags.
“Green initiatives have $13,000 to pro-mote sustainable choices,” Bhalerao said. “Especially with climate change hap-pening, students need to understand how
sustainability works, especially students who do not usually participate in it.”
UI Facilities Manage-ment also donated ap-proximately $200,000 for the new student garden behind North Hall, Simpson said.
The new garden will require higher mainte-nance providing sea-sonal vegetables such as tomatoes and broc-coli, which will be do-nated to the Johnson County Crisis Center, Simpson said. Last year, the student orga-nization donated 800 pounds of produce to the Crisis Center.
The first garden, established in 2009, will still be available to students, but it will be more of a low main-tenance garden pro-viding fruit trees and berry bushes, because it’s near the Hawk Lot, Simpson said. The lo-cation is more difficult for student to get to if they don’t have a means of transportation.
While the UI Garden is primarily run by stu-dents, it’s a public garden.
“The garden is for the Iowa City commu-nity, not just students,” said Makenzie Putz, a co-president of the UI Gardeners. “Food cre-ates unity, and the gar-den provides the novel-ty of free food.”

Since Stephen Bannon joined Donald Trump’s campaign, his influence has been stuck on the back of Trump like a — leach. This isn’t to say Trump and Bannon are much different. In many ways they’re alike; their figures seem to gleam in the eyes of alt-right-ers, they’re both able to walk circles around facts while making their own alternative facts, and from what I heard, they bonded over their love of Mein Kampf.
As Kellyanne Conway put it, the two have some-thing of a “mind-meld” be-tween them. As strong as
their connection might be, their intentions do seem to vary. If we’re being honest, Bannon has shown him-self to be quite community — driven, in comparison with Trump. He wants to be a leader of course — he spent years running Breibart and positioning himself as such. However, he wants to be a leader that sticks to his promises and cares for his people.
He’ll do whatever it takes to push their shared agenda while he’s pulling the strings behind the scenes. And if that isn’t the sign of a true leader, then I’m not sure what is. Some peo-ple have called his move-ment “white nationalist” and even brought forth
evidence that Neo-Nazis support it, but Bannon cleared that up.
He said in an inter-view with the Wall Street Journal,” I’m an econom-ic nationalist. I am an America first guy. … I’ve never been a supporter of ethno-nationalism.”
Bannon, like any great leader, wants to make sure that his supporters feel comfortable. In the day and age of political correct-ness, alt-right supporters are being called out for be-ing, say, Islamophobic. And I think we can all attest to the fact that being told how a majority of others consider your ideology can be painful. Almost imme-diately, a call-out could ignite a victim complex
and maybe even cause shame to grow inside.
Which is why daddy Bannon relies on his al-ternative facts, to help alt-righters feel comfort-able being themselves. This altruism is the thing Trump is missing, and luckily, Bannon sees this fault clearly.
He and Trump know how important pushing what some may call a “white nationalist agen-da” is. However, Trump tends to forget about the importance of the pop-ulace’s support. Really, keeping Trump compas-sionate is the reason that Bannon needs to be as powerful in the White House as he’s becoming.
The first step of Ban-
non’s rise to power hap-pened over the weekend with his unprecedented appointment to the Na-tional Security Council. Foreign Policy recently reported, “Even before he was given a formal seat on the National Security Council’s ‘principals com-mittee’ this weekend by President Trump, Ban-non was calling the shots and doing so with little to no input from the Nation-al Security Council staff, according to an intelli-gence official who asked not to be named out of fear of retribution.”
I can’t imagine the Trump administration would retaliate for shar-ing how helpful Bannon has been for Trump. Re-
gardless, having the man who once told the Hol-lywood Reporter in an interview, “Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That’s power,” making militaristic decisions for the nation shows again how much he cares, this time about our safety.
With Trump’s recent fatigue causing him to hang up on Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnball, we should see Bannon’s oozing into every aspect of decision making as another form of altruism on his part. And luckily, because Bannon’s position isn’t up for Senate approval, he can continue his work unstinted for the rest of the Trump’s presidency.
Top-10 reasons tenure system in Iowa’s public universities benefits students and all residents
10. Tenure promotes stability. It enables the development of commu-nities of scholars who devote them-selves to the long-term pursuit of new knowledge and ongoing mentoring of students and beginning scholars.
9. Tenure routinizes intensive evaluation of faculty members’ work. In the American academic community, ten-ure is a sign that a scholar has complet-ed scholarly work at the highest level. To gain it, emerging scholars willingly undergo a series of grueling reviews of their scholarship, teaching, and service. If successful in earning tenure, they can expect ongoing annual evaluations and intensive periodic post-tenure reviews in order to maintain it.
8. Tenure permits independent inquiry. It ensures an environment in which scholars pursue research and innovation to arrive at reliable, evidence-based conclusions free from commercial or political pressure.
7. Tenure encourages first-rate teaching. It permits scholars to bring their findings and research methods di-rectly into the classroom, informing and inspiring Iowa’s future scholars and com-munity leaders.
6. Tenure promotes effective fac-ulty recruitment and retention. Were tenure to be prohibited, Iowa’s public universities would have a difficult time attracting and retaining the most prom-ising teachers and scholars to work in our state and teach our students.
5. Tenure helps the economy. It is not, as some claim, a “job for life.” A tenured professor may be discharged for malfeasance or, sometimes, for fi-nancial exigency. Yet the security ten-ure provides is valuable and induces many highly credentialed scholars and professionals to forgo more highly paid employment elsewhere in industry or the private sector to work here in Iowa, teaching our future community leaders.
4. Tenure fosters students’ cre-ativity and analytical skills. In class-rooms led by faculty insulated from commercial and political pressures, students may examine important is-sues from a variety of perspectives and arrive at conclusions based on informa-tion and their own values.
3. Tenure provides advantages to Iowa communities. It encourages schol-ars to contribute their expertise to the communities in which they live when issues related to their work arise, be-cause they may do so without political or commercial pressures. An example of this could be seen in Flint, Michigan, as issues with polluted water arose.
2. Tenure increases the value of Iowa degrees. It enhances the aca-demic standing and economic value of degrees from Iowa’s public univer-sities in national and international markets. Currently, Iowa’s univer-sities are of such stature that they
attract international attention from leaders of industry and the profes-sions as well as academics. If Iowa were to prohibit tenure and be ham-pered in its efforts to hire and retain the most promising professors, regard for graduates of Iowa’s public univer-sities would decline accordingly.
And the No.1 reason that tenure ben-efits students and all Iowans: Tenure is indispensable to academic freedom. It allows professors the independence to do the best work they are capable of doing without fear that they will be fired for their opinions or conclusions.
We appreciate the vigorous support for tenure from the state Board of Re-gents, University of Iowa President Bruce Harreld, the University of Io-wa Faculty Senate, and the national AAUP. We join them in recognizing the enormous value flowing to all of us from the tenure system.
— by Lois Cox, AAUP chair and Katherine Tachau, AAUP President
COLUMN
Wednesday night at Ohio University, a group of protesters led by the Ohio University Stu-dent Union marched down the street and into
the Baker Center, disrupting a Board of Trustees meet-ing with a sit-in that culminated in the arrest of 70-plus undergraduate students.
Their demand was simple and concise: Ohio Universi-ty must declare itself a Sanctuary Campus.
The Sanctuary Campus struggle has been unfolding for some time now and has seen a recent surge in ac-tivity since President Trump’s victory in the Novem-ber election. It has been even more active since his re-cent executive order concerning a ban on immigrants from seven predominately Muslim countries. The des-ignation of being a Sanctuary Campus is as much a symbolic act of working toward securing immigrant student safety on campus as it is a commitment to noncooperation with Immigration and Customs En-forcement authorities, should they decide to actively pursue the deportation of such students.
A protest in Berkeley paralleled the Ohio sit-in. The student-led Berkeley event was organized in opposition
to far-right lecturer and Breitbart “alt-right” news site Editor Milos Yannopoulos, and the protest eventually erupted into enflamed displays of property damage.
Their demand was simple and concise: Yannopoulos’ often transphobic and inflammatory rhetoric is not wel-come on their campus.
These two events are telling of one thing: Undergrad-uate students are ready and willing to organize and op-pose the bigoted ideologies that have permeated main-stream rhetoric and executive policy since Trump has taken office. Along with this opposition, they are also
ready and willing to hold their institutions, our univer-sities, accountable in that struggle.
Though the protest methods that were used in Berke-ley may not sit well with some folks on either side of the aisle, staunch opposition to the bigoted ideological demagoguery sweeping across the nation is objectively a good thing. The more actors opposing this ideology, the better. And as more actors will join these struggles, the less extreme the tactics need to be.
That said, this is why The Daily Iowan Editorial Board not only condones the actions of the Ohio Univer-sity Student Union, but fully encourages future actions of the ilk. Institutions of higher education have always postured themselves as heralds of progressive, ethical politics. It is time that these universities, which exist to serve the students, also represent the students. But it is we, the students, who must push them to listen, and make enough racket to be heard.
Furthermore, the University of Iowa must take a sin-cere stand on the immigrant crises, and UI administra-tors must commit themselves to ensuring students abil-ity to affect immigrant’s safety.

Universities, students must actively oppose hate
The University of Iowa chapter of the American Association of University Professors opposes Senate File 41, a bill introduced in the Iowa Legislature in January by Sen. Brad Zaun. If passed, the bill would prohibit tenure in Iowa’s public institutions of higher education. The chapter hereby offers the top-10 reasons tenure benefits students and all Iowans:

Iowa tracksters hit the road for first timeBy JACOB [email protected]
For the first time this in-door season, the Iowa track and field team will pack its bags and travel to a differ-ent venue to compete.
The Hawkeyes will head to South Bend, Indiana, for the Meyo Classic, a two-day event. Iowa will compete against some tough oppo-nents and adjust to a slightly different training schedule.
“We love competing at home, and it’s been a great season up to this point, but
you just got to get on the road to get the kids accus-tomed to staying at a hotel and not just walking out of their dorm room to come over for a track meet,” said Joey Woody, the Hawkeye director of track and field. “It’s mainly the freshmen who haven’t competed away from campus yet, [so] getting them accustomed to how we do things.”
The track and field team comprises a relatively young group, and for many of the athletes, this will be their first time competing
away from home in their college careers. Luckily for the Hawkeyes, they have many leaders on the team who will guide the fresh-men, among them senior Aaron Mallett.
“Even Aaron Mallett, he’s not hurdling this weekend, but he’s going to do some other events and just hav-ing him along is really big for our young hurdlers and our sprinters,” Woody said. “To be able to have him to mentor them and some of our other veterans to be able to help the young kids
get used to what it’s like to compete away from home.”
He relates to the un-derclassmen, having been in their shoes before, and wants them to relax and treat it as any other meet.
“I really just try to be re-latable,” Mallett said. “This week of practice has been phenomenal. We came off a really good weekend last week as a team. I think people are really excited to go somewhere else, into a different venue, against different teams, and really showcase what we have.”
Even though Mallett will not compete in his staple event, the 60-meter hurdles, he is still an important part of the sprints team for Iowa and has a leadership role.
Another leader is ju-nior Heaven Chandler. She knows there will be a greater workload at the be-ginning of the week and is eager to see how the team handles traveling for the first time this season.
“We just have to load up a little bit more early in the week because we leave on Thursday, so we just go in
knowing we have to do a little bit more extra work and then get ready to trav-el, make sure our bodies are good,” she said. “I’m excited to see how we do with traveling.”
This is also the first time this season that the Hawkeyes will compete on an oversized indoor track. For the first few meets of the season, all the Hawkeyes competed on was their new banked track. This will of-fer them a new challenge and opportunity to display their talents.

Hawkeye women’s tennis ready for two-ferBy NICHOLAS [email protected]
The Iowa women’s tennis team will try to remain unde-feated as it hosts two teams at the Hawkeye Tennis & Recreation Complex on Feb. 5 against Iowa State at 2:30 p.m. and Montana at 6 p.m.
The Hawkeyes are unde-feated against both teams in the all-time series. Domination is the perfect word to describe the Hawkeyes and Cyclones series: 35-0 in favor of Iowa. As for the series against the Griz-zlies, the Hawkeyes are 2-0.
Just as in any sports ri-valry, especially one such as Iowa versus Iowa State, emotions can get the best of athletes, but Iowa head coach Sasha Schmid said it’s important to avoid exerting too much energy during the first match of the day.
“That energy that comes off from playing an in-ner-state rival with Iowa State, you really do have to not hype that up too much,” she said. “If anything, we need to keep our composure with really good focus.”
Although the records
are in the Hawkeyes’ favor, Schmid knows that both the Cyclones and Grizzlies will provide good challenges. She noted that the Hawkeyes need to play solidly in both singles and doubles if they want to be successful.
If the Hawkeyes can con-tinue their trend of win-ning the doubles point, it will give the team an early lead and an opportunity for any of the undefeated Hawkeyes this season — senior Aimee Tarun, juniors Zoe Douglas, Anastasia Reimchen, and Montana
Crawford, sophomore Kristen Thoms, or freshman Elise van Heuvelen — to help secure the match-winning point in sin-gles. For Crawford, focusing in practice will be the deciding factor if the Hawkeyes want to secure both victories. It starts with the team’s shot tolerance, the number of balls an individ-ual is willing to get into play.
“When she [Schmid] first got here in the fall, our shot tolerance wasn’t very big,” Crawford said. “It’s really grown since then, and she is always encouraging us in practice and our matches.”
For the Hawkeyes to re-main consistent, practice and weightlifting will stay the same this week, Monday through Friday. Douglas said that to prepare for the in-creased number of matches on Feb. 5, it starts with a great week of practice.
“[We are] working hard now at the beginning of the week, pushing ourselves so that we know that we are ready,” she said. “Then tuning it down toward the end so that we are physically in perfect condition.”
Being physically ready for the matches will defi-
nitely play a vital role on Feb. 5, but Crawford doesn’t believe it will be that big an issue due to the way Schmid has prepared the team throughout the sea-son. The key to remaining undefeated is to be mental-ly tough, she said.
The Hawkeyes’ hard work at practice will be tested, especially in their second match. When the time comes to close out the second set in the second match of the day — that will determine if all that hard work has paid off.
GymHawks take on powerhouse NebraskaBy JESS [email protected]
Another road test is on the docket for the No. 22 Iowa women’s gymnastics team, as it heads to No. 20 Nebraska on Feb. 5 for a big-time Big Ten showdown.
“Nebraska is a Big Ten powerhouse with a tradi-tion of winning,” Iowa head coach Larissa Libby said in a release. “They joined the conference in 2011 and have won the conference twice since then. It’s stress-ful but exciting, competing against them. You’ve got to be prepared, but I know that we are ready.’
The GymHawks stand
at 3-0 in the Big Ten, and they are more than happy to change that to 4-0. Iowa’s undefeated mark in the con-ference is accompanied by a 5-2 record on the season. The most recent Big Ten win for Iowa came Sunday against Maryland, 195.975-193.800. Iowa is now in sec-ond place in the Big Ten.
The Sunday’s victory had eight event titles and career-highs for three GymHawks; freshman Charlotte Sullivan, senior Angel Metcalf, and junior Melissa Zurawski record-ed career-highs of 9.925 on the uneven bars. Zurawski was also awarded Co-Gym-nast of the Week to honor
her performance. Fresh-man Clair Kaji earned her third title of the season on floor with a 9.900 to tie her season best.
“Building and gaining your momentum through your teammates is what really helps me,” Kaji said. “I am gaining more con-fidence; the team really feels like family and they really do support me.”
Since the meet against Maryland, the GymHawks have continued to work on the little things. The team wanted to focus on elimi-nating any blemishes be-fore heading to Nebraska.
Even though the Hawkeyes are undefeat-
ed in the Big Ten, nothing has changed for Libby and her squad. It is a great ac-complishment, but Libby wants the GymHawks to focus ion their gymnastics.
“We made a lot of un-characteristic mistakes last week, and we’ve spent this past week trying to fix those,” Libby said in a release.
“My hope this week is that we are a little sharper, a lit-tle crisper, and a little more effective in the game plan.”
Nebraska ranks fourth in the Big Ten at 2-1 af-ter falling to No. 7 Mich-igan, 197.225-194.800. The Cornhuskers have an overall record of 4-1 and are now ranked No. 20
nationally, but the loss to No. 7 Michigan dropped the Cornhuskers eight spots from their previous ranking (No. 12). Nebras-ka has eight returning
squad members from its 2016 NCAA nation-als squad, including Big Ten championship team members Jennie Leang and Grace Williams.
2 Connor Medbery and No. 8 Micheal Kroells.
Holloway recently earned his first career Big Ten dual victo-ry, against Ohio State wres-tler Josh Fox, and he caught the eyes of many Iowa fans.
When it comes to his foes this weekend, he is to the point in his confidence in his abilities.
“I can do it; the crowd’s be-hind me,” Holloway said. “I
just need to wrestle hard for seven minutes.”
This could potentially be a pivotal weekend for another Iowa wrestler, Topher Carton. He has lost three straight and wants to swing the mo-mentum back in his corner.
He’s also been in the thick of it when it comes to compe-tition: His last three match-es have been against No. 1, No. 12, and No. 14 guys.
Carton lost the last two decisions by just 1 point.
Although he has yet to turn things his way, Carton
believes this weekend — when he takes on No. 16 Cole Martin and No. 12 Tommy Thorn — could be his time.
“I think it’s something that I need to figure out my-self and that it’s something I have figured out myself, on my own,” Carton said.
“The end goal is to get your hand raised, and I didn’t get my hand raised. In my mind that’s a failure … As far as the last three matches, yeah, they’re good wrestlers, but why can’t I beat them? Why can’t I win?”
WRESTLINGCONTINUED FROM 8
Nebraska’s Glynn Watson Jr. and Tai Webster scored 34 and 23 points. The pair com-bined for 8 3-pointers.
At this point in the sea-son, there’s a cluster of six teams with four and five Big Ten wins in the middle of the conference standings. Iowa is one of them, along with Nebraska. This bor-der-rivalry means more than
just bragging rights. A win on Feb. 5 stretches the gap between the current four-win teams and the Hawkeyes, who currently have five conference wins.
Iowa and Indiana are tied for the No. 6 spot in the Big Ten, each compiling a 5-5 re-cord so far in the Big Ten.
This team, which many thought wouldn’t make much noise at all this season be-cause of its “inexperience,” has a very realistic shot at snagging the fourth or fifth spot in the conference.
But that means taking things one game at a time.
Considering all the ups and downs of the season, many are surprised about where Iowa, the only team with 10 or more losses in the top eight of the conference, sits.
According to the universi-ty’s ticket offices, tickets for the game start from $33 for adults and $20 for youth (18 and younger). Student tickets are $20.
After Nebraska, Iowa will travel to Minnesota for a game on Feb. 8 at 8 p.m.
Iowa heads to Michigan on Feb. 5
The Hawkeyes will not get much time to sit back and enjoy the win; in fact, they’ll be on the road with-
in a couple of days as they prepare for a matchup against Michigan on Feb. 5 at 1 p.m. in Ann Arbor.
After the Rutgers victory, the Hawkeyes are 5-4 in Big Ten play, while the Wolver-ines sit at 7-2 and 18-5.
This game will be a chal-lenge for Iowa because of the lack of rest and be-
cause Michigan is one of top teams in the Big Ten. The Hawkeyes will need to be clicking on all cylinders in or-der to come away victorious and add a huge win to boost their tournament résumé.
“Obviously, we’re going to have to bring a big defensive game; they’re scoring 80 points per game and they’re
11-0 on their home court,” Bluder said. “They’ve got three outstanding scorers. They have a 6-5 center, but Megan doesn’t shy away from that, but they are shooting the 3-ball very, very well, and we are going to need great 3-point defense against them at their place.”

Andrew R. Juhl thinks “As we die, so we forget” is sadly true.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Someone with ulterior motives will take advantage of your energetic, helpful nature. Gullibility will cost you financially, physically and emotionally. Question everything you hear, and assess each situation before you get involved.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be creative in the way you handle people. Offer incentives and suggestions that will raise greater awareness about your concerns. An emotional plea will generate greater consciousness in your community. Don’t lose sight of your goals.

Taking action will show that you are capa-ble and responsible. Refrain from making an impulsive personal change. Leave the past behind, and don’t go over budget.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take time out for yourself. Educational pursuits or making time for love and romance are highlighted. Don’t let an emotional matter at home rain on yourparade. Take a short trip, or make a commitment to live a healthy life.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Check out different cultures or ways of doing things. Interact-ing with people from all walks of life will open your mind to all sorts of ideas and concepts. Don’t feel threatened by change. New beginnings will inspire you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Getting upset over financial matters can be expected if you take a risk. Opt for the safe route, and only spend what’s necessary to ensure your comfort and security. A partnership will have its limitations if you choose discord over passion.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Live life your own way. Don’t fall into someone else’s routines. Make a point to look the way you want and to style your life to suit your own needs. A passionate approach to the way you move forward will leave a lasting impression.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Put more effort into making personal gains. Setting goals that will help you improve your health and physical strength is encouraged. Romantic gestures, suggestions, and long-term plans will bring you closer to someone you love.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t get angry; get moving. Take hold of what-ever situation you face, and rely on yourself to get things done. Finding the right balance of old and new ideas will help you reach your goals.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Use your time wisely. Refrain from letting your emotions lead to a no-win situation. Consider what’s important to you, and don’t take any detours. Finish what you start, and let others do their own thing.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Proceed with caution no matter what you are faced with. Carelessness will result in minor injury or illness that will limit your ability to take care of pressing matters. Good nutrition and physical strength are crucial.

Super Bowl Sunday? More like Hawk-eye-Husker Sunday.
Iowa and Nebraska will square off for their second go-around of the season, this time play-ing in Carver-Hawkeye at 1:06 p.m..
The Hawkeyes are coming of their first road win of the season, an 83-63 rout of Rutgers in New Jersey.
Head coach Fran McCaffery said his team’s vic-tory against the Scarlet Knights was the most com-plete, cohesive performance of the season.
“I thought we’d be ready,” he said. “We played well in the last game [Ohio State], and we hadn’t been good on the road.”
Something was bound to give.Freshman Jordan Bohannon led the charge for
the Hawkeyes, starting the game hot from long range. He finished with a team-high 17 points; 5 of his 7 3-pointers found the bottom of the net.
Iowa’s 3-point barrage kept the deficit unman-ageable for Rutgers, which McCaffery praised for its resilience and competitiveness in one of the na-tion’s best basketball conferences.
“You get a lead, [Rutgers] is not going away,” he said.The Hawkeyes connected on 11 3-pointers, shoot-
ing 61.1 percent for the game. Some of Iowa’s best ball movement of the season (24 assists on 30 field goals) led to wide-open shots.
One of the questions leading into the Nebraska matchup is whether senior Peter Jok will play.
He has missed Iowa’s last two games with a back in-jury that has bothered him for most of conference play.
“Next man up,” McCaffery said, praising his team’s character and confidence.
When Iowa traveled to Nebraska, however, the Hawkeyes needed Jok to stay close.
Jok scored 34 points before fouling out late in the game. Tyler Cook, Cordell Pemsl, and Isaiah Moss also reached double figures in scoring.
Points weren’t hard to come by. The Huskers toppled the Hawkeyes, 93-90, in a double-over-time thriller.
Iowa’s defense wasn’t as successful as its of-fense, though.

Iowa wrestling’s dual-meet schedule continues to gain speed this weekend; the Hawkeyes will compete both at home and on the road to-night and Feb. 5.
No. 3 Iowa will take on Wisconsin today in its third-straight Friday night home dual, then pack up its bags and hit the road for Minneso-ta two days later.
Though both teams are ranked — Wisconsin is No. 16 and Minnesota is No. 13 — the competition is not as high-ly touted as the Hawkeyes have seen over the past three weeks. Since Jan. 15, they have faced No. 1 Oklahoma State, No. 2 Penn State, and No. 4 Ohio State, coming away with just one team victory.
Just because Wisconsin and Minnesota aren’t the No. 1 or No. 2 doesn’t mean Iowa is letting up in intensity.
“The teams aren’t maybe as highly ranked, but as you know, and I say it every week, it doesn’t matter,” Iowa wres-tling head coach Tom
Brands said. “We still have opponents that we gotta get ready for, and our guys are looking forward to it.
“We have some guys who look razor-sharp … and we have some guys who have work to do … Really what it boils down to is everybody’s got work to do.”
Iowa has had only one weekend so far this season
in which it has had two dual meets. When the Hawkeyes traveled to Michigan, they face both the Wolverines and Spartans within three days.
After finishing up business to-night, the Hawkeyes will hop on a bus Saturday morning. The dual at Minnesota has an 11 a.m. start on Feb. 5, so they will need to be ready for weigh-in and warm-ups relatively early.
Brands hopes the setup of the upcoming weekend will be preparation for the
Big Ten Tournament and the national tournament, both of which cover numer-ous days and require early morning weigh-ins.
“It’s a quick turnaround … It’s important to our team because the national tourna-ment is a multi-day tourna-ment, Big Tens is a multi-day tournament,” Brands said. “While it’s not consecutive days, it’s still how you’re get-ting ready and how you’re putting things together as
you’re getting into Sunday from a Friday.”
Heavyweight Steven Hol-loway has not had much of a chance to get his feet wet at the position, but the stiff competition at the weight has forced him to dive in. So far, the redshirt freshman has faced wrestlers who were No. 10, No. 16, and No. 5 at the time. This weekend will be no different. On the slate are No.

Once the pregame festivities honoring former Iowa ath-letics director Dr. Christine Grant ended, the Hawkeyes jumped out of the gates early on visiting Rutgers, going up 17-4 before the first quarter TV time-out.
“This was a great day for us to be able to come out here and celebrate National Women in Sport day and doing it with Vivian Stringer and Dr. Christine Grant made it even more special,” Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder said.
Even with Rutgers keeping the score within range for the remainder of the game, the Hawkeyes never surren-dered the lead, defeating the Scarlet Knights, 71-57.
“I think we handled the game pretty well,” Iowa soph-omore Megan Gustafson said. “Toward the end, it got a little chippy with late fouls, but we really kept our compo-sure as a team and came together in huddles just to calm ourselves down if we ever got a little too amped up.”
Gustafson set up camp in the paint, going 10-of-13 on field goals and earning 25 points. The Knights seemed to have no answer for her; they consistently fronted her on defense be-cause of their lack of confidence in one-on-one post defense.
A steady theme so far in Big Ten play has been the shooting struggles for senior leader Ally Disterhoft. To-
night, she got a little bit of her nonconference mojo back as she tallied 20 points, going 7-of-11 on field goals and 3-of-6 on 3-point shots.
“I think the confidence is definitely there, but really you just have to go into every game with that shooter’s mentality,” Disterhoft said. “I know that my teammates believe in me and count on me to step up to hit those shots when they’re there.”
Although Disterhoft and Gustafson were the main scorers, other players for Iowa recognized the mismatch-es and affected the game positively for the Hawkeyes in other ways.
Guards Tania Davis, Makenzie Meyer, and Kathleen Doyle each ended the game with 5 assists, giving the team 17 assists on 23 field goals.
