Iowa State announces change in student section location at Jack Trice Stadium

Sports

April 14th, 2022 by admin

The Iowa State student section at Jack Trice Stadium is being moved. Iowa State Athletic Director Jamie Pollard sent an email to students on Thursday about the change beginning with the 2022 season.

The sections will move from X-ZZ and 37-41 to sections O-T and 23-27 in the southeast corner of the stadium. The visiting team fan section will move to section 41.

In the email Pollard stated that safety has become a concern during field rush situations that have occurred after big wins. The students entering the field conflict with the path of the opposing team leaving the field. The hope is that the move will eliminate that potential issue. The number of seats for students will slightly increase with the move as well.

Atlantic Head Coach Ed Den Beste: “Once again a cold and windy day for golf at Fox Run. Going into this meet, we knew we could play better and had a good shot of winning it. Lane continued his good play.  Garrett also played pretty well. Need to see him get into the 70s though.  Cruz has really picked up his game.  Good to see him in the mid 80s.  Roth had a tough start but came back and finished ok.  Cooper shot his best this year which is good to see. Tristan had a lot of struggles today. Hopefully he can fix a few things and get it back to where he can compete for top 4. We will head to Denison next week on Tuesday for a JV/Varsity match.”

Advocates for victims of sexual assault applaud focus on prevention in new federal law

News

April 14th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Iowans who are advocates for victims of sexual assault say they’re pleased the re-authorized Violence Against Women Act includes money for prevention efforts as well as services for victims. Iowa Senator Joni Ernst hosted an event today (Thursday) to hear from Iowans who work with sexual assault survivors.

“We have actually increased the authorization that will be going to these specific programs that address prevention,” Ernst says. The updated Violence Against Women Act provides new housing protections for victims as well as new investment in culturally-specific programs.

“It’s important for survivors, but it’s also important that we stop it before it’s happening,” she says. “That middle school age is a primary target for sexual assaults happening.” Mira Yusef is executive director of Monsoon, an origination with offices in Des Moines and Iowa City that works to end human trafficking and violence against Asians and Pacific Islanders.

“Prevention is so crucial,” she says. “Man and boys who mostly are the perpetrators, the harm-doers of sexual violence…How do we prevent that?…How can we then extend that to the elementary school age, to the middle school, to have the discussion about healthy relationships?”

Kellie Markey is the founder of Dorothy’s House, a residential home for victims of human trafficking. She says pornography is distorting what young people, in particular, view as a healthy behavior. “It literally changes the way people, and children especially, view what sexual relationships are supposed to look like and what’s o.k. to do in those environments,” she says. “Every child in our community is presented and pushed porn by the time they’re in fifth grade, at the latest, and it’s starting create trends that we see in the normalization of these behaviors against people that are going to be a bigger and bigger problem.”

Markey was among more than a dozen people Senator Ernst invited to a round-table discussion of the Violence Against Women Act. A month ago, President Biden approved a bipartisan plan to reauthorize the law for five more years.
