The picture painted of senior Bryce Dejean-Jones’ behavior by his neighbor illustrates a long-standing pattern of disrespect.

Matt White, a junior in soft-ware engineering and former ISU wrestler, has lived next door to Dejean-Jones since the beginning of the semester.

“ I h a v e b e e n h a v i n g i s -sues with them for the last four months,” White said. “It has been a bunch of noise complaints, defacing property in the hallway, leaving their trash out there being disrespectful to everyone who has ever tried to confront them about this.”

White said he has called the police over a dozen times to com-plain.

The most recent call led to Dejean-Jones’ arrest in the early morning hours Thursday.

“When the door was opened, the officers could smell burnt marijuana coming from inside the apartment, so they got a search warrant and ended up finding marijuana in the apartment,” said Geoff Huff, investigations commander and public informa-tion officer for the Ames Police Department. “At that time of day, it is time to be quiet.”

Dejean-Jones was arrested on three charges, including a nui-sance party violation and a noise ordinance violation, both of which are simple misdemeanors.

The third charge was “hosting a drug house” or “gathering where marijuana is used.” That charge is a serious misdemeanor on par with possession of marijuana in terms of the penalties offenders typically draw, but it has since been dropped, Story County At-torney Stephen Holmes said.

A judge made the determina-tion that there was not probable cause to charge Dejean-Jones with “hosting a drug house,” but Holmes said that a charge could be refiled later if more evidence is obtained.

“Everything is fact-specific and fact-driven,” Holmes said. “We have to have some proof to establish that a person did what is alleged.”

Huff said Ames Police is working with the county attor-ney’s office to determine whether such evidence exists.

The trial date for the two re-maining charges will be scheduled Tuesday

Ames Police were called to Dejean-Jones’ apartment at 1221 Mayfield Drive, Apartment 310 be-tween 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. Thursday.

Huff confirmed White’s claim that it is not the first time police have been contacted to quell the ruckus in Dejean-Jones’ resi-dence.

“We’ve been working with the residents out at this apart-ment building and the coaches and everyone else because we have been out there more than five times for similar problems of loud noise,” Huff said. “So we have been working with all these folks trying to figure out a way they could all live together and not disturb each other.”

White provided the details of the meeting to which Huff al-luded.

White said the participants were himself, Officer Eric Snyder of the Ames Police Department, Dejean-Jones, his roommate and ISU men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg.

“We came to an agreement that no more noise would hap-pen,” White said. “The trash in the hallway would stop, being disrespectful would stop, the bass would be turned off during the week and they could have it on during the weekends. At my dis-cretion I could text them and tell them it was getting too loud.”

White said the meeting did not produce the desired results.

“They did not follow that, they continued to do the same things,” White said. “I would text

Neighbor details Dejean-Jones’ behavior

The House passed a $1.1 trillion spending bill Thursday night after congressional gridlock threatened another government shutdown.

The House approved the funding plan by a vote of 219-206 after seven hours of trying to gain support.

The House also went on to approve an extra two days of fund-ing for Congress. The Senate will now use the two additional days to debate the long-term funding plan passed by the House.

The bill passed by the House funded most of the $1.1 trillion, and the Senate has the next two days to debate parts of the fund-ing package.

Lawmakers spent most of the afternoon and evening trying to gain support from each of their parties members after the House adjourned early that afternoon when Republican leaders were worried they didn’t have enough support.

President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden personally made calls to the Democrats in the House. White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough also attended a Democratic caucus meeting to try to gain support.

House Republ icans and Democrats had originally worked together throughout the week and originally came to an agreement on the $1.1 trillion spending bill, which was expected to easily pass well before the midnight deadline on [Thursday], said Speaker John Boehner at a press conference Wednesday

The House cleared a hurdle early Thursday by narrowly ad-vancing the bill in a procedural vote of 214-212. After floor debate ended just after 2 p.m. local time, the House abruptly adjourned in-stead of moving forward with the final vote, as originally planned.

Backlash continued from both sides of the aisle because of several provisions inside the bill.

Timing is everything, and the timing of senior Bryce Dejean-Jones’ arrest could not have been worse for ISU basketball.

On the eve of one of Iowa State’s most important games of the season against its bitter rival the Iowa Hawkeyes, ISU men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg an-nounced that Dejean-Jones, his team’s second-leading scorer, would be absent due to a one-game suspension.

“After sitting down and having numerous con-versations with people, we feel that the best move at this time for Bryce, for our team, is to suspend him for tomorrow night’s game,” Hoiberg said.

Dejean-Jones was arrested and charged with three misdemeanors as a result of a noise complaint that came into the Ames police department in the early morning hours of Dec. 11.

Two of the misdemeanors, a noise ordinance and a nuisance party violation, are both simple misdemeanors.

The third charge, “hosting a drug house,” which means frequenting a residence in which marijuana is being smoked, is a seri-ous misdemeanor.

March around campus raises awarenessSeveral multicultural student organizations will gather at Parks Library on Friday morning as part of the ISU community’s demonstrations in response to the situation in Ferguson, Mo. Those participating in the ‘Silent Protest’ will be marching around the area of Central Campus from Parks Library to south of the Campanile, then back around the west side of Central Campus to the library. The march is to bring aware-ness to campus about the events that happened in Ferguson, as well as others around the country.

Jason Geller, a Ph.D. student in psychology, began to worry when he hadn’t heard back from his adviser, Alison Morris, for a couple of days.

It was the week of the annual Psychonomic So-ciety conference in Long Beach, California, and stu-dents and faculty of the cog-nitive psychology depart-ment at ISU began arriving at the hotel one-by-one. Geller was to present the research he and Morris had been working on for years on the morning of Nov. 21, yet no one had heard from Morris. What was usual-ly a time for reunion and celebration quickly turned devastating.

Morris, an associate professor in the psychology department at ISU, passed away at Mary Greeley Medi-cal Center in Ames on Nov. 21. The cause of death was not determined, although her colleagues believe it was potentially a blood clot.

M o r r i s , 5 6 , h a d n ’ t been feeling well for the month prior to her death. She checked herself into the hospital on the night of Nov. 19, was hospitalized in the ICU on Nov. 20 and passed away on the morn-ing of Nov. 21.

Morris had chosen not to tell anyone—including her brother—that she was hospitalized, said Veronica Dark, professor of psychol-ogy.

Dark received a phone call from Carolyn Cutrona, professor and chair of the psychology department, in her hotel room on the morning of Nov. 21 about Morris’ death.

“Carolyn decided not to immediately send the news out to everybody,” Dark said. “She was going to give me time to make sure I talked to [Geller] be-cause the mentor-mentee relationship with a graduate student and faculty mem-ber is very close.”

Dark told the others from Iowa State at the con-ference, but decided to wait to tell Geller until after he presented his poster about his and Morris’ research.

“I kind of broke down in the conference hall,” Geller said, regarding the moment he found out of Morris’ passing. “It was a pretty horrible experience, but everyone was there for support.”

Morris joined the ISU faculty in 2002. She received her B.S. in education in communication disorders and her M.S. in speech pa-thology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She worked for 13 years as a speech pathologist and got her Ph.D. in psychology from Boston University in 2000.

Morris became Geller’s adviser when he joined the Ph.D. program in 2012. Both Geller and Morris did re-search about how people processed words.

Their research involved eye tracking and pupillom-etry—the measurement of pupil diameter as it re-lates to cognitive process-ing. Morris was develop-ing a computational model of how people recognize words. Geller said Morris

had been working on the model on a daily basis for the past several years, and he hopes to be able to get access to the data and com-plete the model.

Geller said it’s hard to be back on campus, see her office and do the research that they used to do togeth-er. Both of Geller’s parents have passed away, and he said he viewed Morris as a parental figure.

“I looked up to her, and it seemed like she always cared about me,” he said. “I think any person that in-teracted with her genuinely loved her. She was accept-ing of everyone.”

Dark said Morris was a “workaholic” the entire year, but when spring break came each year, she was on her way to Aruba to sit on the beach with a book and a Mai-Tai.

M o r r i s w a s a l s o a trained storm chaser and was enamored with weath-er. She was a part of SKY-WARN, a volunteer program of severe weather spotters, and would always email her colleagues and students and alert them of any bad weather.

Cutrona said Morris led the most recent search committee in the spring of 2014 and had a steady leadership style that “just got things done.”

“She wouldn’t let peo-ple deviate from the rules, and we ended up with some great hires,” Cutrona said.

Alison Phillips and her husband were two of the hires Morris’ committee made.

T h e y i n i t i a l l y t o o k Morris out to dinner to say thank you, and then they began inviting her to their house every other Friday for crazy rummy and wine

tasting.“There was something

I liked about her instantly that made me keep inviting her over,” Phillips said. “She had this great, dry sense of humor and was also very sincere and almost gushy in other ways.”

Morris’ colleagues and students said she would pay attention to the details of everyone’s life.

“It showed she really cared about you—enough to remember the little stuff and think to send you things about it,” Phillips said.

Morris would send Phillips links to a good wine store in Des Moines or win-eries to visit. Because Mor-

ris didn’t like dogs and Dark did, she would e-mail Dark if there were a news story about a dog biting some-body. She would text her friend Dawn Sweet, associ-ate professor of psychology, on every Sunday during football season about the Green Bay Packers—Mor-ris’ favorite team—or the Eagles—Sweet’s favorite team.

“On Sundays, I still reach for my phone, think-ing, ‘Oh, I have to tell Ali-son,’” Sweet said. “I’ve just been sick to my stomach. I don’t believe it.”

Sweet said if Morris were here, Morris would say, “Oh, go have a beer

and a burger and go watch football.”

“I don’t think she real-ized how much people liked her or respected her,” Sweet said. “She flew below the radar because she didn’t have some big ego. She had perspective, and she was free and easy with good, sound advice. There are so many students who are not going to benefit from hav-ing her in class, and I think that’s a shame.”

Morris is survived by her brother and cousin. The visitation is from 10 a.m. to noon on Dec. 13 at Adams & Soderstrum funeral home in Ames, followed by the memorial service.

NEWS 3Friday, Dec. 12, 2014

Would you rate this course as excellent, good, average, bad or horrible?

Course evaluations are beginning to reach thou-sands of ISU students’ email inboxes just before Finals Week.

Allyson Kocour, sopho-more in history, is one of many students who is left wondering: does anyone actually see these things?

“I honestly don’t know if [instructors or professors] read these,” Kocur said.

The answer: yes, they do.

“Yes, I use them,” said Jay Newell, an associate professor journalism and mass communications. “Absolutely, we look at the numbers and we look very carefully at the comments students make. Those are important to understand what’s going on.”

The course evaluations work on a system called Class Climate, which was created by Scantron, the same system that grades most students’ tests. Iowa State began using Class Cli-mate in the fall of 2011. The goal of these questionnaires is to enhance learning and teaching.

“The comments that students type out, the pro-fessors do read them,” said Laura Bestler, program co-ordinator at the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching. “They really do. I can tell you that instructors look at the good, the bad, the ugly.”

So far, around 200,000 class evaluation emails have been sent out over a two-to-three day period.

Bestler said the average response rate every year from students is between 60 and 62 percent. The re-sponse rate is calculated by comparing the number of students in a class and the number of responses that are sent back.

The feedback from students is encouraged to be specific and construc-tive. The intent is that in-structors can improve their teaching methods and the overall course.

Bestler said responses help professors weigh what they need to advance or tweak so that the class is better for the students.

“The more students respond, the more they pay attention,” Bestler said.

Shane Goodall, senior in industrial engineering, is among those receiving emails this week about eval-uations. Goodall said he takes his professors’ word for it when they say they do read the comments stu-dents post.

“Some of the evalua-tions, we just find out little stuff,” Newell said. “Things like they can’t hear me in the back row. It’s pretty easy to take, and it’s easy to modify because the pro-fessors here really, really want to do a good job in the classroom. They like getting feedback.”

Goodall said he does complete the surveys he is sent.

“I’ve received three so far, and the way I do it is to get it done as soon as I get it,” Goodall said. “Mostly because I hate getting the emails three days later. I just feel like I’m doing my part to help the university have better classes.”

Newell said he has re-

ceived both positive and negative constructive com-ments from students.

“I’ll ask students, ‘did you read the book?’ and about a third of them will say that they didn’t,” Newell said. “That’s quite helpful to know because if I want them to read the book, then I might have to build in more assignments that drive students to the text-books. Or even consider getting rid of the textbook.”

Course evaluations from Class Climate are lim-ited to the end of the semes-ter, however. Newell said his only problem with the software is that it’s only of-fered once during a course.

“Personally I use the survey at the end of the se-mester, but I also use some as the semester rolls on,” Newell said. “I try to pick up information from students on what’s working. Plus I also do an end-of-semester evaluation that’s about 50

questions that helps me understand on an element-by-element basis what stu-dents are picking up on or what they’re having diffi-culty with.”

Not only are the course evaluations considered im-portant for professors to improve their courses but to help further themselves at Iowa State.

The evaluations on instructors from students helps ISU professionals review their effectiveness in teaching and is consid-ered when professors are reviewed for their tenure or a promotion.

“The first thing the uni-versity really looks at is the overall rating of the profes-sor and the overall rating of the course on Class Cli-mate,” Newell said. “People look at that number in rela-tion to the average. This is required and it’s taken very seriously.”

T h e C e n t e r f o r E x-

cellence in Learning and Teaching acts as the pri-mary administrator of the course evaluations that are offered at midpoint and end of semesters. They saw a need for an effective way to measure what they call Stu-dent Evaluation of Teaching in order to enhance learn-ing.

Bestler said the quick-est way for professors to re-ceive feedback was through an electronic software, in-stead of a paper system that had been in place during the years prior to Class Cli-mate.

“Every day our system talks with the database at the office of the registrar,” Bestler said. “So if you drop a class, you would no longer be in that class to receive a survey. Our system is up-dated every 24 hours with the most current informa-tion.”

Each college at Iowa State has their own depart-

mental administrators to distribute evaluations to the appropriate students and review the results at the end of the evaluation period.

T h e r e s u l t s o f t h e course evaluations are read by the administrators, who then hand it off to de-partmental chairs. Then, instructors and teaching assistants who teach the courses receive a copy af-ter final grades have been submitted.

The responses on the course evaluations are com-pletely anonymous and cannot be linked to a stu-dents’ name or ID number.

“The biggest goal is to help improve teaching and education at Iowa State,” Bestler said. “Because of the quick and immediate feed-back instructors get, they can look at and enhance for future semesters.”

The course evaluation period will last until Sun-day.

NewLink Genetics, an Ames company housed in the Iowa State Research Park, has recently signed a $50 million deal with Merck & Co., Inc. to expedite the development of NewLink’s potential vaccine for the Ebola virus.

N e w L i n k r e c e i v e d funding from the federal government earlier this year in August to continue pre-existing research and development of its “rVSV-EBOV” vaccine candidate and has been working on it

ever since.Pam Eisele, a spokes-

woman for Merck, said that the partnership went into effect Nov. 21 and that the $50 million deal was swift in nature.

This was due in part to the recognition by NewLink that Merck was an ideal partner to help manufac-ture the vaccine.

The testing of vaccines is key in order to make sure they are safe and viable to the general public.

“Vaccines usually con-tain a part of a pathogen they’re trying to fight,” said Balaji Narasimhan, a pro-fessor in the chemical and

biological engineering de-partment.

Narasimhan, who has worked with NewLink on other projects, said that as of late, live parts of a patho-gen are rarely used in vac-cines.

Instead, proteins that are specific to a virus are isolated and tested in vac-cines.

“There are multiple levels of testing, including phases one, two, and three,” Narasimhan said.

NewLink is currently working on phase-one test-ing. This is the phase where vaccines are tested for safe-ty in humans and not for

effectiveness. As of Tuesday, New-

Link has garnered protec-tion from any legal action taken against its develop-ment of the Ebola vaccine.

While the declaration by the federal government applies only to the United States, other countries are

being urged to follow suit in order to expedite the manu-facture of a vaccine.

“We will see an acceler-ated time line,” Narasim-han said in reference to the development of the Ebola vaccine. This is due in part to the deadly nature of the disease and its recent and

rapid emergence.This accelerated time

line has been somewhat stifled as of Thursday, due to reports of joint pain in the hands and feet of four patients, who reside in the phase-one trial of the vac-cine in Geneva, Switzer-land.

While some students seek structure and guid-ance during college, oth-ers crave independence and freedom. The first step most commonly taken by students in the search for independence, is to move off campus.

It is very common for students to begin their col-lege adventure as freshmen living in the dorms on cam-pus. Carrie Giese, Program Coordinator for Student Assistance, says its a great platform to begin with.

Dorms provide support and immediate assistance through a resident assistant for the transition from living at home to living essentially with strangers.

Living in a dorm is a great way for students to develop and shape their socializing, teamwork and problem solving skills be-fore transitioning to off-

campus living, which is an ideal time to put them to use and define them.

“When a student lives off campus, there’s no one there making rounds, mak-ing sure they’re behaving appropriately or making sure their bills are paid on time,” Guise said. “This is a great time for a student to develop their own indi-vidual ethics.”

On top of individual ethics, Guise pointed out the importance of develop-ing time management, self-accountability and good people skills. Off campus, no one tells the student that they need to study or that rent is due, it’s all up to them.

There are no structured “icebreakers” to get a stu-dent talking with other stu-dents they are living near. Students living off cam-pus can then expand their comfort zone and begin networking on their own, skills that will be needed long after their time at Iowa

State.However, Ryann John-

son, Assistant Community Manager at South Duff Community Park Apart-ments, said transitioning to life on their own isn’t always an easy task for students.

“It might take a few months to get used to do-ing everything on their own, but that’s pretty normal,” Johnson said. “Often times, we’ll get calls from parents whose students have ques-tions but aren’t comfortable

doing things on their own yet, so it’s kind of that pro-cess for them.”

For some students, there is a fear when it comes to moving off campus that they are going to be com-pletely on their own, but that is not true.

Guise and the Student Assistance office are avail-able to students living off campus for support, guid-ance, and to answer any questions students may have as a stepping stone

toward complete indepen-dence.

For Matt Decker, junior in construction engineer-ing, moving off campus was a perfect fit. Moving into a more spacious townhome gave him the freedom he was looking for while still providing stability and structure.

“I like to cook and be able to make my own meals, so living in the dorms just wasn’t feasible for me,” Decker said.

Some students might fear that moving away from campus will discon-nect them from campus life, but for Decker, moving off campus has created a stronger connection and is something more people should consider.

“I actually moved far-ther away from campus so that I could be on campus all day,” Decker said. “I bring everything that I need for the day with me and just spend the entire day there.”

Paying for college is no easy feat, but adding rent on top of that can make things even harder.

Students who are look-ing for off-campus housing, and those currently living off campus, might be in search for budgeting tips.

Program Coordinator for Student Loan Education Office Jennifer Schroeder says one common mistake that students run into is spending their refund from financial aid before the se-mester is over.

“The important thing to do is when you get a re-fund if you’re using finan-cial aid is to figure out how many months that has to last you and dividing that, whatever your refund is, by four or five months,” Schro-eder said.

She even suggests stu-dents give the money to parents to make sure it is

used for its intended pur-pose, such as rent and utili-ties.

Knowing how much to save can also be difficult to judge.

“When we talk about s a v i n g w h e n w e ’ r e i n school, sometimes it’s may-be not necessarily saving for the future but saving for next month’s rent or saving for next semester’s start-up costs such as books maybe a deposit on an apartment,” Schroeder said. “On av-erage, its usually recom-mended that three to five percent of your income goes towards saving with each month or with each paycheck.”

Leftover money can be used to start paying stu-dent loans or education expenses.

T h e r e i s n o c o o k i e cutter system to budget because budgeting is sup-posed to be very personal-ized in order for it to work.

This can be done in a variety of ways, whether it

be an app, an online pro-gram or envelopes that you set aside for gas, groceries or fun. When that money is used up for the month, you’re done spending until your next month begins.

M a n y s t u d e n t s a r e facing the same struggles and have to be conscious

of turning the lights off and using less water, which is a new obstacle in their lives.

One such student is Sa-vanah Smith, sophomore in agricultural biochemis-try, who is already one step ahead of budgeting.

“Each month I look at what I spent my money on

and decide what is a luxury and what isn’t,” Smith said. “If I went out to eat too much then I try to cut that down for next month and save money that way.”

Budgeting can be bro-ken up into a very simple concept, however.

“The easiest cut-and-

dry way to do a budget is your income has to be more than your expenses,” Schroeder said. “If you’re expenses are greater than your income we need to start looking at where our expenses are going and cut-ting those back or ways we can increase our income.”

It has come to my atten-tion that there are some con-cerns regarding the cover and the content of our Fall/Winter 2014 issue of SIR magazine. As the magazine’s editor-in-chief and an objective jour-nalist, first, I must apologize to any individuals who are offended by our magazine’s cover or content. The SIR staff never meant to upset anyone with our issue or its illustrated cover. Our only goal was to provide an interesting twist to our magazine and produce something that everyone could enjoy.

Issues with our cover and content are a matter of perception. The situation depicted on the cover was meant to convey the woman swooning for the male, who was sweeping her off of her feet — not unlike the heroic implications displayed on the

May 1957 cover of Man’s Life magazine. While the pairing of the headlines and the art on the cover may cause readers to jump to conclusions about the magazine, there is actually no evidence of alcohol or ad-vocate for its abuse anywhere on the cover or in the issue. Art in general is left up to the viewers’ interpretation, and this principle also applies to our cover.

Our overall vision for this issue was motivated by the idea of change, physical changes we made to the pub-lication, changes made to the operations of the organization as a whole and the change we had identified in our audience demographics. We wanted to illustrate those changes in our publication this semester. The illustrated cover expressed that change for us in several ways. First, it functions as a concrete antithesis of this is-sue — the original cover was modified to reflect a college atmosphere with additions

that tie in the magazine’s con-tent. We felt it was a way to set the reader up for the changes they would see in the maga-zine and its new modernized layout. Second, we intended for the cover to serve as an abstract rendition of what could happen if the content in this issue was put to use in readers’ lives.

In no way were we trying to promote rape culture or even make a smug attempt at stirring a disrespectful buzz about the matter. We were purely motivated by artistic decisions that symbolically represent the overall scope we hoped to create with this issue and guide our readers into the content. We recreated the Man’s Life cover as an act of creativity, which was meant to distinguish this year’s maga-zine from past issues. As a staff, we perceived what we were doing as creative and artistic, and in no way did we feel we were taking some type of symbolic, sociopolitical

stance on any topic.Considering the recent

national discussion of sexual assault on college campuses, a few individuals have ex-pressed their concerns that our cover promotes rape cul-ture on the Iowa State cam-pus. Though we, the staff at SIR magazine, in no way ac-cept these allegations as truth, we have heard our readers’ concerns and hope to better serve you in the future. So again, I sincerely apologize if we have upset anyone in any way. I invite you to contact us with your concerns at [email protected] and we will respond accordingly. We also invite you to visit our online forum, at sirmag.wordpress.com, for an extended take on this situation.

As the great Aristotle once said, “The aim of art is to rep-resent not the outward ap-pearance of things, but their inward significance.” This certainly applies to issues with our magazine’s cover.

Recent history has shown that grow-ing portions of the

American people have be-come dependent on the government, unable to stand on their own feet.

These Americans, usu-ally close to the end of the economic line, take hand-outs from the government like the Supplemental Nu-trition Assistance Program.

T h i s i s d a n g e r o u s , especially when occur-rences like selling or trad-ing food stamps for drugs take place.

“When individuals with drug convictions are denied food stamps and cash benefits, establishing economic stability upon reentry becomes more difficult, and it becomes more likely that they may return to criminal activ-ity and drug use instead of maintaining sobriety and obtaining gainful em-ployment,” said Elizabeth Farid, deputy director of the Legal Action Center’s National HIRE, Helping Individuals with criminal records Reenter through Employment, Network in an article written by Amer-ica’s Wire.

This is the exact rea-

son drug testing needs to be enforced for those par-ticipating in the Supple-mental Nutrition Assis-tance Program.

“America is increas-ingly moving away from a nation of self-reliant in-dividuals, where civil so-ciety flourishes, toward a nation of individuals less inclined to practicing self-reliance and personal re-sponsibility. Government programs not only crowd out civil society, but too frequently trap individuals and families in long-term dependence, leaving them incapable of escaping their condition for generations to come. Rebuilding civil society can rescue these in-dividuals from the govern-ment dependence trap,” a c c o r d i n g t o t h e 2 0 1 3 Index of Dependence on Government.

The supplemental nu-trition assistance program aids low-income house-holds in paying for food. The amount of supple-mental nutrition assistance program food stamps a household gets depends on the household’s size, income, and expenses, which is determined by the federal government and is adjusted annually.

It’s sad to think that 47 million Americans cannot support themselves and have to rely on the govern-ment for simple, neces-sary items such as food. However, it is also sad that so many Americans par-ticipate in these programs take the opportunity to use the food stamps as bar-

gaining chips for drugs.Approximately 12 per-

cent of the federal budget in 2013, or $398 billion in taxes, was spent support-ing programs that provide aid to individuals and fam-ilies facing hardship.

The supplemental nu-trition assistance program is included in these Safety Net Programs funded by the federal government, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Pri-orities.

N o t i c e t h e w o r d s “safety net” can become all too comfortable for some Americans taking advan-tage of Supplemental Nu-trition Assistance Program. Apply for government aid and use the benefits of the program for needs other than what it was intended for, what a perfect set up.

I ’ m s u r e n o t e v e r y American uses this pro-gram properly, but not each person is abusing it either. However, that doesn’t detract from the fact that more than 41 percent of the population relies on government assis-tance programs, according to the Heritage Founda-tion.

So far, there have been several states that have applied this stipulation to their Supplemental Nutri-tion Assistance Program requirements.

In 2010, at least 12 states submitted propos-als to legislation. None of these proposals became law because most of the legislation was focused on “suspicionless” or “ran-

dom” drug testing, which is at odds with a 2003 Michi-gan Court of Appeals case. Marchwinski v. Howard ruled that subjecting each welfare applicant in Michi-gan to a drug test with-out reason to believe that drugs were being used, was unconstitutional.

However, proposals gained momentum again beginning in the 2011 ses-sion. Since then, Oklaho-ma, Tennessee, Georgia, Utah, North Carolina, Kan-sas, Mississippi and Ala-bama have incorporated some form of drug testing requirement for govern-ment programs.

Drug test ing is re -quired for some 84 percent of jobs in America, accord-ing to Society for Human Resource Management. If it is a requirement for those who are able to support themselves, it should be a requirement for those who cannot.

Having the stipulation of a drug test would not only help families who are struggling with drug issues, but the Americans who are spending precious tax money to fund these pro-grams can be assured that their money is being given to those who need it and are not abusing it.

There would be obvi-ous difficulties regarding enforcement of the new drug policies, at least ini-tially. However, the poten-tial benefits of correcting the flawed system far out-weigh all negative aspects of enforcing drug testing policies.

Defending the SIR Magazine cover

The consequences that college ath-letes receive when they disobey the law are not enough. In Iowa, the punish-ment for an OWI, otherwise known as operating while intoxicated, by a college athlete is significantly lower than if the same player were to get in trouble for a marijuana charge. The stipulations that the NCAA has for college athlete punish-ment needs a change.

When it comes to players receiving punishment for a drunk driving crime, discretion in regards to the punishment of the athlete usually lands in the hands of the university they attend.

Recent history has shown the aver-age penalty for an OWI or a possession of marijuana charge is a three-game sus-pension for ISU athletes. Both instances of unlawful behavior are considered serious misdemeanors by Ames and Iowa State Police departments.

This punishment compared to that of a high school athlete is minimal. The Iowa High School Athletic Association penalizes students that are ticketed with a minor-in-possession with a 30-day suspension from games. For a high school athlete, 30 days could be nearly the entire season.

ISU athletes should be held to the same, if not higher, standards of a high school athlete. A three game suspension, especially from games outside of the con-ference schedule is not enough.

Let’s be honest, sitting out from games that don’t count towards your school’s record is hardly a punishment at all. Sitting out from conference games would show that the unlawful act com-mitted was serious and should not be taken lightly.

Athletes are held to higher standards, as they are offered extra education as-sistance and are the face of Iowa State athletics. They chose this life and should have consequences that equal their new level of achievement.

People that are in the public eye should be held to a higher standard. This is not just for athletes, but for anyone that carries a leadership position.

ISU athletes not only are represent-ing themselves, but also the Iowa State athletic department. That means that they have certain expectations to live up to, and those expectations are higher than other students.

Athletes must be held accountable for their actions. Just as they are praised for what they do on the court or on the field, they should also serve more severe punishments for when they choose to drive drunk or smoke marijuana.

When you live your life in the public eye, you are expected to live up to the standards of the public. The recent ac-tions of some athletes are unacceptable and the punishment they have received should not be lessened. It could even be increased.

These higher levels of achievements bring higher levels of responsibility. With this responsibility and achievement come higher levels of consequences. Should an athlete only have to sit out two or three games when they potentially endanger their lives as well as the lives of those around them? No, the punishment needs to be more severe.

Athletes must face stronger consequences

IOWA CITY— Coming into the game, sophomore guard Jadda Buckley knew the odds were stacked against the Cyclones.

The Cyclones had to hit the road to take on the No. 24 Iowa Hawkeyes — a team that ISU coach Bill Fennelly says is one of the best he’s seen in a long time.

However, Buckley didn’t let the implications of an in-state rivalry shake her.

Buckley finished with 25 points by the end of the game, marking one of the best games in her Iowa State career.

“I think it’s just all about taking the right shots,” Buckley said. “It’s about shot selection out on the court. I think over-all it was fine, my team-m a t e s g o t m e a g o o d screen or a good pass off the dribble so, you have to take those shots and knock them down in a game like this.”

In the end, her ca-reer performance wasn’t enough to slow the Hawk-eyes. In a game that was tight until the end, Iowa came out on top 76-67.

“I think Iowa is an outstanding team, I think they played great tonight,” Fennelly said. “Our kids competed for the entire time, but they hit some big, big shots when they had to, and that’s what good teams do.”

The Hawkeyes didn’t waste any time Thursday, jumping out to a 14-7 lead to start the game. The Cy-clones were able to hang around in the first half, even taking a brief lead near the break.

Several times in the first half, the Cyclones were able to come within a handful of points. Each time, however, Iowa was able to find an answer on the other end, stealing any momentum that Iowa State was able to create.

“We need to take that when it’s a close lead and go with it,” Buckley said. “We can’t just all the sud-den go on defense and relax. That’s where they hurt us.”

The second half was much of the same, with both teams keeping the game close.

T h e H a w k e y e s , though, were able to keep t h e m o m e n t u m a w a y from the Cyclones. And with little momentum go-ing their way, they found themselves with another problem-foul trouble.

“I think we played fine,” senior guard Nikki Moody said. “Just at the end of the day it was the fouls. If we were out on

the court a little more, the game could have been a little closer at times. Jadda did a good job out there, and I’ll commend her for that. We just need to stay out of foul trouble.”

B o t h M o o d y a n d Brynn Williamson fell into foul trouble early, and had to spend time on the bench in the first half.

Fennelly said that he would have liked the play-ers to be out on the court more early on, but that they just had to do the best they could with what they had.

“It’s no secret that Nikki and Brynn are a huge part of this team,” Buckley said. “So when they’re on the bench, somebody out on the court has to step up. Those are two huge roles that nobody can fill, so you have to do what-ever you can out on the court to stay in the game.”

Fennelly hopes that his team will focus on the positives coming out of the game, instead of dwelling on the emotional loss. And with another game on deck for the Cy-clones on Sunday, he only wants them moving for-ward.

“We lost to a very good team,” Fennel ly said. “I have no problem with how we competed, and no problem with the way we fought to win the game on the road against a very good team. Hope-fully it will be a move for-ward.”

CY-HAWK BATTLEHITS THE COURT

IOWA STATE DAILY

SPORTS8 Friday, Dec. 12, 2014

Cyclone Hockey has had a season of highs and lows.

The Cyclones have beaten the third-ranked team in the nation but have lost their fair share of one-goal games. The Cyclones have fought hard all season and look to continue their winning ways at home this weekend against No. 8 Rob-ert Morris University.

The team is coming off a series split against Linden-wood, but that series was away in Saint Charles, Mo. This weekend, the Cyclones are in Ames, where they play significantly better.

How much better? The Cyclones have outscored their opponents 106-23 in 15 home games this season.

When you do the little things right, those are the kind of results you will get and head coach Jason Fair-man thinks his team does a lot of little things right.

“We are good from a systems stand point and we are strong on the wall,” Fair-man said. “There have not been many moments where I have been disappointed, but for the most part I am pretty pleased with how the team is doing.”

Robert Morris has been stellar on the road this sea-son, posting an 8-1-1 record. The two games Robert Mor-ris did not win were against

Lindenwood, the same team the Cyclones took a series split, with both games be-ing close.

Recently named as a player on the USA Hockey roster, Cyclone forward J.P. Kascsak thinks the Cyclones need to send a message by sweeping Robert Morris.

“We need every single game, especially our ACHA [American Collegiate Hock-ey Association] games, so we are looking for a sweep,” Kascsak said. “We are good at changing the momentum of a game and that’s one thing that can help us.”

With a series win this weekend, the No. 13 Cy-clones could move into the top 10, which would help keep their season alive. With

the season winding down, the top 20 teams will receive bids to the ACHA Men’s Di-vision 1 National Champi-onships.

A n t t i H e l a n t o s t i l l thinks the team can im-prove, but is happy with the team’s play.

“I have seen improve-ment, but there is still little things we can work on, but I am very happy with the teams effort,” Helanto said. We want to carry this mo-mentum we have had the past couple weekends and carry that over into Christ-mas break.”

Cyclone Hockey will play against Robert Morris at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.

Hockey to face top-10 competitionBy [email protected]

Iowa State DailyJunior forward J.P Kascsak fights with an opposing Illinois player over the puck as fans look on during the game against Illinois on Feb. 7, 2014. After down 2-0 in the first period, the Cyclones came back to win 5-2.

A road game against the Iowa Hawkeyes in the toughest matchup to date was enough for the No. 14 Iowa State Cyclones to be anxious about. Doing it without the team’s hottest hand and key contributor, Bryce Dejean-Jones, only complicates things more.

Dejean-Jones was ar-rested Thursday morning and charged with host-ing a drug house, a nui-sance party violation and a noise ordinance violation. A judge determined there was no probable cause to charge Dejean-Jones with hosting a drug house, a serious misdemeanor, and he was released from police custody.

While his most seri-ous charge was a simple misdemeanor, ISU coach Fred Hoiberg suspended Dejean-Jones for the Iowa game. After having one of the best seven-game stretches from an ISU bas-ketball player in recent memory, the Cyclones will have to find a way to win without their star trans-fer—and they think they will.

“I definitely think we’re going to find out

who we are,” said guard Naz Long. “It’s a true test of character. It’s definite-ly going to show us who we are going into a tough place in [Carver-Hawkeye Arena], so it will be good.”

It’s not easy to replace about 17 points, seven re-bounds and three assists per game, but if there is any team that has shown it can do it, it’s the Cyclones. After Georges Niang went down with a foot injury in the NCAA tournament last year, the team rallied to pull off a win against North Carolina to advance to the Sweet 16, where they would fall to eventual na-tional champions, UConn by five points.

The situations and players involved are differ-ent, but the team’s attitude and focus doesn’t change. In fact, Niang says without Dejean-Jones, not much will change at all.

“We sti l l have five players on the floor, they still have five players on the floor, so it doesn’t change what we’re doing,” Niang said. “A lot of guys can be given opportunities to make shots and I think that’s what they’re going to do.”

But against the Iowa Hawkeyes (8-2, 0-0 Big Ten), making shots will be no easy task. The Hawk-eyes are No. 7 nationally in opponent field goal per-centage, holding teams to just 33.7 percent shooting.

But perhaps the big-gest disadvantage the Cy-

clones face is size. With key players like 7-foot-1-inch Adam Woodbury and 6-foot-9-inch Aaron White, the Cyclones will be looking up at their op-ponents for much of the game.

“We’re fighting size every night the way our roster is,” Hoiberg said. “It’s something that we’re always trying to figure out how we’re [first] going to stop them and [second], how we’re going to attack it.”

But who will replace Dejean-Jones? That’s to be determined, with Matt Thomas and Abdel Nader likely the frontrunners.

However, the team isn’t worried about that. After a classic ending to last season’s Cy-Hawk game, Niang says the ri-valry will help fuel who-ever ends up playing. But facing the most adversity they have all season in the biggest game of the sea-son, Hoiberg knows the Hawkeyes will have no mercy.

“It’s a team that is really playing good bas-ketball right now and if we want any chance of winning, we’ve got to do a heck of a lot better than we did in that second half [against UMKC],” Hoiberg said. “It’s a great oppor-tunity to go into a hostile environment for the first time this year and hope-fully we’ll handle it well. If we don’t, it could be an ugly one.”

What’s on the l ine? Pride. That’s what the Cy-Hawk rivalry comes down to, and it’s no different for ISU swimming and diving.

The series is currently at 11-2 in Iowa State’s fa-vor.

The magic number is 13, and now the pressure is on the ISU swimmers and divers, as well as the men’s and women’s basketball teams to get wins for Iowa State in order to clinch the series.

“ I t d o e s n ’ t m a k e a difference what sport is competing, both sides rise up to the occasion,” said ISU coach Duane Soren-son. “You see tremendous performances from both teams. It’s a pretty exciting atmosphere and it’s just a great athletic contest for both teams. We bring the best out of each other.”

Sorenson said last year was the Iowa diving coach’s first time experiencing the Cy-Hawk rivalry, and he was very surprised with how well his Iowa divers performed. Sorenson told Iowa’s coach, “that’s just the Cy-Hawk series.”

Last season, the Cy-clones lost a close one to the Hawkeyes at home. This year, they are prepar-ing to head to Iowa City to take on the Hawkeyes, who are coming off a strong win.

This week’s focus has been about the little things for Iowa State.

“We’ve done a little m o r e s p e e d w o r k t h i s w e e k , ” S o r e n s o n s a i d . “We’re really paying at-tention to the details—fast turns, good breakouts, fin-

ishing into the wall strong at the end of swim sets. We’re just trying to fine-tune everything to get our-selves prepared to do the best we can.”

Junior Marissa Engel said the swimmers are swimming fewer yards in practice with more of a fo-cus on the technique.

With this year’s Cy-Hawk series record and last year’s close loss against Iowa in mind, many of the swimmers are motivated to get back in the pool and compete in the rivalry.

“[Last year’s loss] is just motivation to show

our f reshmen what we did, and really show them what it’s like to be at the Iowa meet,” Engel said. “I wouldn’t count [the Cy-Hawk series record] as a pressure. I think of it more as motivation and pride.”

One of those freshmen is Danica Delaquis. She has never experienced the rivalry, but is excited to be a part of it.

“From the other girls, I’ve heard it’s a pretty big rivalry,” Delaquis said. “The energy on the pool deck is energizing. I’m ex-cited to see what’s it all about.”

Sorenson said the key to going against Iowa in a rivalry meet is coming out with those close third, fourth and fifth place fin-ishes.

“ W e ’ v e g o t t o w i n those close races for first

place and try to beat out their third and fourth-place swimmers,” Sorenson said.

Iowa State will take on its in-state foe Friday in Iowa City, Iowa.

“It’s always fun be-cause you always have

somebody that really stand out that you didn’t expect to stand out,” Sorenson said. “Somebody is going to step up and do something. We just ask everybody to go out and give it their best shot.”

Ryan Young/Iowa State DailyIowa State’s swimming and diving team will perform under the spotlight during the Cy-Hawk battle in Iowa City on Friday. The current series is 11-4, with Iowa State hoping to clinch with 13 points.

Holmes said that the third and most serious charge was dropped due to a lack of probable cause, but that it could be refiled if new evidence is obtained in the case.

The e l imination of the serious misdemeanor changed the circumstances surrounding Dejean-Jones’ punishment, taking it out of the jurisdiction of the ISU code of conduct and placing the decision firmly in the hands of Hoiberg.

“It is not a code of con-duct issue with Iowa State University,” Hoiberg said. “It is a decision that I have come to based on the nu-merous conversations that I have had.”

Hoiberg was unwill-ing to elaborate on why he decided to move forward with a suspension despite the ISU code of conduct not demanding one.

“I am not going to get into specifics on…exactly how we came to this con-

clusion,” Hoiberg said. “I just felt after all the infor-mation that I gathered that this was the right thing to do.”

The ISU players stood behind their coach, defer-ring to his judgment and keeping their opinions close in favor of focusing on the upcoming bout with Iowa.

“We are still prepping for Iowa. I do not really have any comment on the situ-ation It is unfortunate but we have a game to get ready for,” said junior Georges Niang. “We are just real supportive of coach’s deci-sion and whatever he de-cided to do we are going to go along with it.”

Niang said that Dejean-Jones attended practice Dec. 11, but Niang added that he had not spoken to his suspended teammate.

Hoiberg also decided to remain mute on the topic of his personal discussion with Dejean-Jones as well as comments made by De-jean-Jones’ neighbor, Matt White.

White told the Iowa State Daily that he had called the police on more than a dozen occasions to complain about different issues he and other tenants were having with Dejean-Jones and his roommate in the apartment.

White said he sat down to a meeting with Hoiberg, Dejean-Jones, Deajean-Jones’ roommate and offi-cer Eric Snyder of the Ames police department to dis-cuss the issues.

Hoiberg refused to comment on what was said in that meeting or confirm that a meeting took place.

A s f a r a s t h e g a m e against Iowa is concerned, Hoiberg said a decision will be made after shoot-around Dec. 12 as to who will step into the starting lineup in Dejean-Jones’ stead.

“Going in there, it is an extremely hostile envi-ronment. They are playing great basketball right now,” Hoiberg said. “We are down a very important piece in this game so somebody is

going to have to step up.”Much of the load left

behind by Dejean-Jones’ absence will be filled by his fellow teammates junior Naz Long, as well as sopho-more Matt Thomas, who has functioned as the sixth man for the Cyclones since returning from a suspen-sion of his own earlier in the season.

“It was tough. It was tough for the team,” Long said of Dejean-Jones’ sus-pension. “The fact that he is gone, I feel like I have got to do a little bit more, but I have been trying to do a little bit more from the be-ginning of the season.”

Long said that he has no hard feelings towards Dejean-Jones.

“I love Bryce,” Long said. “That is all there is to it. I would not say that if i did not mean it. He is a great teammate. I hang out with him a lot off the court and I know he is a great dude.”

Tip-off against Iowa is set for 7 p.m. Friday in Iowa City.

them, they would respond for a couple weeks and then they would stop respond-ing. Then the cops would get back involved and that led to last night.”

White said Hoiberg was very strict and direct with Dejean-Jones about his ex-pectations for the senior transfer from UNLV and in White’s words, “...did every-thing that a coach should have been doing.”

White described the behavior of Dejean-Jones and his roommates in detail and explained why he could take it no longer.

“They outright leave

their trash out in the hall-ways and there was one morning I came home and the trash was littered all over the hallway,” White said. “There is puke in the hallways and every smell that comes into the hallway in this building has been linked to their unit. [There are] parties at all hours of the night, all days of the week. Last night specifi-cally, I think it was just them screaming at each other playing video games at 4 a.m.”

Noise, garbage and smells, however, are far from the only concern to White, who lives one door down from Dejean-Jones.

White described a par-ticularly vulgar incident that happened recently at the apartment.

“I came home one day and I noticed there was a note on their door,” White said. “Someone else posted it, it was not me. Someone wrote them a nice hand-written letter that said this is what you guys are do-ing; we do not appreciate it. We would like it if you guys showed more respect.

A couple hours later that note was on my door with the words ‘suck my [expletive]’ written on it be-cause they thought I did it. I shrugged it off, put it back on their door and later that

night they came pounding on my door with the let-ter. They were drunk and fights almost happened that night.”

White said he has felt physically threatened be-fore but does not believe that Dejean-Jones or his roommate will pursue phys-ical violence.

“I do not feel like they are going to try and do any-thing physical towards me, but when my mom and friends come over, nobody likes being here,” White said.

A person inside De-jean-Jones’ apartment did not open the door and de-clined to comment.

Mass., first urged her col-leagues in the House to vote against the bill because of provisions that would weaken “Dodd-Frank” reg-ulations of Wall Street that Congress passed in 2010. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-CA., spoke on the House floor just be-fore 2 p.m. to signal she would not support the bill because of this provision.

Other Democrats were angry at a provision that would increase the amount of contributions individu-als could give to political parties. Under the current language included in the bill, wealthy couples would be able to donate over $3

million to a single party in upcoming campaign cycles.

Some conservative Re-publicans were angry that the spending bill continued to fund the Department of Homeland Security, al-though only until February unlike the rest of bill which funds the government for nine months. Funding for Homeland Security would continue to allow President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration to be implemented, which angered a group of Repub-licans.

Mack Shelley, politi-cal science professor and department chair, said these kinds of provisions or amendments in a bill are included when a member

of a party wants something passed.

“ T h e s e k i n d o f g e t stacked into bills that pretty much have to be passed right at the last minute,” Shelley said about provi-sions in the budget. “This wouldn’t be the first time i t e m s a c t u a l l y s l i p p e d through without anybody n o t i c i n g t h e m . I n t h i s case, a couple things were caught.”

Rep. Steve King, R-Io-wa, who represents Ames and the Iowa State campus in Congress, voted against the bill because of Home-land Security funding.

“You either defend the Constitution when the president violates it or you lose some of your ability

and traction to do so later,” King told The Hill news-paper, angry at its funding of what he calls “executive amnesty.”

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said in his weekly vid-eo address that the funding bill was necessary, but also called on the next Congress to change the way it passes appropriations bills.

“The omnibus bill is necessary to fund a host of government operations, in-cluding Homeland Security. The omnibus process is a quick fix that doesn’t offer the kind of scrutiny that federal spending should have,” Grassley said.

President Obama plans to sign the bill after approv-al from the Senate.
