Stories about bullying in schools are common, and that is what comes to mind when many people think

of bullying. However, 35 percent of employees in the U.S. are tar-geted by a bully at some point in their career, according to the Workplace Bullying Institute.

Stacy Tye-Williams, assistant professor of English at Iowa State, and Kathleen Krone, professor of organizational communication at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, researched bullying in the workplace and heard heart-breaking stories from victims.

Bullying is common for many workers, but it is not as openly discussed in the workplace as it is on the playground.

“It’s a big threat [we face],” Tye-Williams said.

She said victims of workplace bullying are very reluctant to come forward and expose what is happening to them. It may be because they are being bullied by a supervisor or boss. Sometimes they just have a fear of people degrading them for speaking out about it.

Bullying is not something that victims experience one time. It often starts out subtly, and a victim may not realize what is happening for a while.

“Regardless of the differ-ent kinds of workplace bullying our participants described, they also emphasized the repetitive nature of the poor treatment and characterized it as a part of their everyday experience,” Krone said.

Bullying can be obvious, or it can be subtle. For example, a boss could withhold information from an employee that they need to do their job or they could continu-ously give preferred assignments to someone they like better.

Katy Klopfenstein/Iowa State DailyJohn-Paul Chaisson-Cardenas was a featured speaker at this year’s Noche de Cultura. The event, which took place Friday in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union, was the last event of Latino Heritage Month on campus. The month helped promote the Latino culture.

Iowa State students can regis-ter more efficiently this semester with helpful advice from their academic advisers.

Each semester the Office of the Registrar systematically breaks up the registration days and times for each student by using a variety of criteria, including a student’s year in school, the number of credits they have and any special groups they are in, such as an honors program. To stay ahead of the game, colleges ask students to meet with their academic or faculty advisers before registering.

Mason Babcock is an aca-

demic adviser for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Dur-ing each semester’s registration process, he works with more than 150 students who are primarily open option.

With all of the courses avail-able at Iowa State, he knows how overwhelming it can be trying to decide what to take.

“Attempting to navigate that mass system of classes and sched-uling by yourself is kind of like going on a trip without a map,” Babcock said. “I think advisers can help provide some of those navigation tools and help guide students to classes and opportu-nities that really enrich their time here at Iowa State.”

Lisa Sharp, academic adviser

for early childhood education, said students should use advisers as a resource.

“Advisers are there to help and give students information so that they can make good, in-formed decisions for themselves,” Sharp said. “It’s not to tell [stu-dents] what to do but really to help support them in choosing the correct classes that move them forward in their program.”

Sharp has an emphasis on student independence. She said that complications could occur when it’s time for students to figure out how their classes will fit together.

She said she is always willing to meet in person to find out what the alternatives are but wants stu-

dents to take initiative first.Similarly, Babcock urged stu-

dents to look at the courses avail-able before the meeting.

“Ideally we like the student to look at classes before they come in to kind of have an idea of some direction they’d like to go with their classes.”

But sometimes, as ISU advis-ers know well, things don’t always go according to plan.

“Typically, the student leaves my office with enough informa-tion that they can implement plan A, plan B or plan C,” Babcock said.

If they run into difficul-ties after that, he said students should meet with advisers again. Although a class filling up before you get to it is the number one

complication relating to regis-tration, there are a couple more problems that students need to be aware of.

“I think that it’s really helpful for students to understand and know what their degree audit’s about and what the requirements are.”

Craig Albers, junior in agronomy, and Sam Nilsson, senior in civil engineering, take a break from study-ing to practice their slackline skills on Central Campus. Ruby, Albers’ 3-year-old dog joined the two, as well. This was Albers’ second time trying to slackline, and Nilsson has been practicing for a few months.

A winged guest flew into the Memorial Union to help educate campus about the dangers wild birds face because of hu-man activity.

Blaze, a 6-year-old kestrel falcon, perched on Terrie Hoefer’s gloved hand as she explained how Saving Our Avian Resources rescues raptor birds and educates the community about how they can help the birds.

S O A R v o l u n t e e r s were in the Workspace of the Memorial Union to craft jesses, thin leath-er straps used to tether falcons or hawks to a holder.

Hoefer has volun-teered for SOAR, a non-profit organization that supports wildlife reha-bilitation, education and research, for 10 years.

SOAR helps more than 200 injured or poi-soned birds each year.

Bald eagles are the main focus for the group right now, she said.

Eagles are poisoned mostly from lead ammu-nition used for hunting deer or other animals in the wild.

Hoefer said anybody can help the cause by do-nating money, volunteer-ing, keeping an eye out for injured birds and oth-er wildlife and spread-ing the word about using non-lead bullets while hunting.

For more informa-tion about how to help SOAR and its cause, visit soarraptors.org or call 712-830-6116.

Pumpkins rolled and knocked over masses of paper towels while goats, sheep and llamas inter-acted with a crowd on the Sigma Alpha Epsilon lawn.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon held its second annual Pumpkins for Munchkins fall philanthropy event Sunday to raise money for Children’s Miracle Net-work and Dance Marathon, which will take place Jan. 15, 2015.

Pumpkins for Munch-kins drew a large crowd of local families, ISU students, greek community members and also the Ames Police and Fire Departments.

Mitchel l J . Skatter , sophomore in aerospace engineering and the phi-lanthropy community chair for Sigma Alpha Epsilon, got involved in every step of the event.

The event raised $3,900 last year and gave them high hopes for this year.

Connor Young, senior in biology and president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, has one of the most important roles in the fraternity.

“The most important task is making sure that the chapter is being successful in the long term,” Young said. “I had to make sure that the entire chapter is motivated to support the cause of this event, realize its importance and why.”

T h e m a i n f o c u s o f Pumpkins for Munchkins is getting families and com-munity members out on a sunny, upper-60s fall day to participate in fun, safe activities, he said.

Skatter shared another reason the fraternity plans the event.

“We wanted to stop those negative stereotypes that fraternities [have], what people see us in the weekends,” Skatter said.

John Wilson, the chap-

ter’s alumni adviser, said he was excited to be back at the event.

“It’s great to see them do [the event.] They took what they did last year, im-proved it, and I hope we can do it for a long time. This is an outstanding way to see the greek community in another way,” Wilson said.

Wilson applauded the men for taking the time to plan and host the event.

“It is great to see kids and families participate in the event,” he said.

Last year, the event won the Best Philanthropy award from Greek Affairs.

A p u m p k i n p a t c h , pumpkin carving, pump-kin bowling, petting zoo, homemade apple pie, duck races and some classic mu-sic were some of activities people could find at the event.

Check back at the Iowa State Daily website for the total of the event.

As 2-year-old Char-lie, dressed as a fireman, walked around Reiman Gardens’ Spirits in the Gar-den event Oct. 25, there was only one thing on his mind: candy. Not just any candy but Smarties.

Already conquering three volunteers who had buckets full of candy, he was on the hunt to add to his collection. While it was Charlie’s first time at Spirits in the Gardens, he defi-nitely did not make himself a stranger.

The annual trick-or-treat garden festival is the largest family event Rei-man Gardens hosts.

It had many activities for children to take part in, including story telling, arts and crafts, wildlife inter-action, a scavenger hunt, costumes and games. It is also used as an education opportunity.

“Hopefully, [we] intro-duce them to all the stuff going on in the gardens as well as give them an op-portunity to have a little fun around Halloween,” said Aaron Steil, Reiman Gardens’ manager of pub-lic programs.

Included in the tour was Ernie the Possum,

who was rescued after for-mer owners attempted to domesticate him.Ernie is taken on educational pro-grams to inform commu-nity members about the Wildlife Care Clinic.

“We are here to do some outreach. We want to get [the public’s] aware-ness of our clinic,” said Alex Courtney, staff mem-ber at the Wildlife Care Clinic. “We are really try-ing to build up our base, get new cages, get these animals that we use for our programs better spaces, as well as provide better care for the animals that will come in.”

Being a nonprofit or-ganization in the Ames area for the past 30 years, Wildlife Care Clinic is run by undergraduate students who want to be involved with animals. On-call un-dergraduate students assist at all hours. Community members can help with the organization by funding an animal online.

Design students also provided colorful costumes for the public to enjoy. As a part of the theme “2014: A Garden Odyssey,” cos-tumes were based off of the designers’ perception of an alien.

OPINION 5Monday, Oct. 27, 2014

Gun control is one of the most sensitive issues that divides Americans

and foreigners in the United States. Piers Morgan, who was an anchor for CNN, was re-cently was fired because he always argued against Ameri-can cultural beliefs such as gun control and few people supported his opinion.

I was quite surprised that there were not many people who were against using guns when I first came to this coun-try because guns are prohibit-ed in my country South Korea. In South Korea, anyone who owns guns in his or her private residence are generally con-sidered criminals unless they work for the military or other government organizations.

For these reasons, and perhaps more, international students tend to have nega-tive opinions and ideas about possessing a gun. However, because it is not unusual to have guns in the States, inter-national students should take advantage of opportunities to

learn about the responsible use of firearms.

L a s t w e e k o n e o f m y American friends invited me to his uncle’s house to shoot guns. I saw three rifles, and we were shooting for about an hour. It was such a new experi-ence for me to shoot popular rifles so I posted a picture of myself holding a rifle on my Facebook page to show it to my Korean friends.

However, my parents called me after seeing my profile picture to tell me that it looks inappropriate since they are conservative when it comes to guns. Because guns are only used in the military and police stations in South Korea, they told me not to use guns and not to hang out with the American friend who invited me because they re-garded anyone who owns guns or enjoys shooting as violent or impolite people. They did not want me to be influenced by those kinds of people.

When I told this story to my Asian friends, they some-what agreed with my parents’ opinions, but my American friends did not. One of my friends from New York said

that his parents owned guns ever since he was born and nothing bad ever happened. He is not worried about pos-sessing guns.

Another one of my friends from Hawaii said that there are many people where he is from that just collect guns as a hobby, and it is not considered weird behavior.

Because there are these sorts of cultural differences between Asia and America, sometimes internat ional students from Asia may feel pressure from their native community. My parents also expressed their concern that I might get into trouble if I become too assimilated into American society.

This is understandable because some American val-ues are extremely different from Asian values so I may have conflicts if I go back to my country after I graduate. If I put myself in a bad situa-tion back home by express-ing “American” ideas, I may treated as an outcast in my native community.

However, there is no rea-son to be condemned just be-cause you tried to learn about

another culture and follow the trend. It is such a great opportunity for international students to mingle with Ameri-cans. Therefore they need to make wise decisions every time to find a happy medium between their own culture and a new culture in America.

Although I changed my profile picture on Facebook, I did not end the relationship with the friend who intro-duced me rifles. I am still find-ing a way to be as flexible as I can between two cultures, since learning a new culture in the States and keeping a good relationship with my native community are both impor-tant for my future.

The wisest decis ion I can choose to make might be getting along with American friends by learning their hob-bies by actively participating with them but at the same time keeping respect for the culture of my native community in mind.

In this case it is not a bad idea to behave differently when I am active in a different culture, and no international students should feel awkward about doing the same.

I am proud to call Ames my home. Growing up on a family farm in eastern Iowa I learned the values of hard work, determination and co-operation.

I have lived in Ames since 1996 when I enrolled at Iowa State. During the past 18 years, I have been active in our com-munity, most recently serving from 2010 to 2013 as the Ward 3 representative on the Ames City Council.

As a member of the City Council, I supported efforts to expand the ISU Research Park, encouraged private sector job growth in Ames and advocated for strong partnerships be-tween Iowa State and the city.

I am a proud graduate of Iowa State. Like many of you, I relied on scholarships, grants and student loans to pay for my college education.

I know firsthand what it

feels like to graduate with a significant amount of student loan debt.

For the past two academic years, in-state undergraduate students at Iowa State have benefited from a tuition freeze. As your next state senator, I will support a third consecu-tive year of tuition freezes at Iowa’s three state universities.

To achieve this will re-quire a bold, transformational solution when the Iowa Leg-islature convenes in January.

It is easy to say, “Let’s re-store the funding reduced by the state of Iowa during the economic downturns of the past decade.”

Simply throwing more money at an outdated base-plus funding model is nei-ther strategic nor beneficial to students at Iowa’s public universities.

I embrace and will fight for the performance-based model approved by the Iowa Board of Regents which pro-motes access, retention and

student success.More specifically, this

model directs 60 percent of the regents’ university fund-ing to be allocated based upon in-state student enrollment at each of the three state uni-versities.

This makes the funding model responsive to Iowa tax-payers. Additionally this mod-el will hold the universities accountable by recognizing student credit-hour progress and graduation.

This encourages access to low-income, minority and community college transfer students along with veterans; provides for direct allocation to support sponsored research that will lead to economic development; and enhance support for graduate and pro-fessional programs.

I will support efforts to make the cost of textbooks fully deductible for Iowa in-come tax filers, and I am also am a proponent of full deduct-ibility of student loan interest

payments on Iowa income tax returns.

These efforts, in conjunc-tion with the Transparency Inclusive Efficiency Review currently underway at the three state universities, will help to make the cost of an education at Iowa State more affordable.

T h r o u g h t h i s w e l l -thought-out approach to high-er education funding, I believe the student loan burden felt by ISU students will be reduced.

I love Iowa State and will continue to be an advocate for our university and our com-munity. Going forward, we must do things better.

If you believe the lead-ership in the Iowa General Assembly can and should be doing better, then I promise you I will work diligently as your state senator to make that vision a reality. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you in the State Senate.

Please exercise your right to vote Nov. 4.

Students need to appreciate local police

College can at times be a scary place for young adults. Due to the the culture of alcohol and binge drinking or the high rate of sexual assault on campus, students sometimes have to rely more on campus police for help than anyone would like.

And while we hope nobody has to call the campus police, ISU students are fortunate to have the ISU Police Depart-ment around to help.

Through social media and its out-reach events, ISU Police has shown it truly understands the young adults it serves and makes an effort to help them feel safe.

When it comes to having run-ins with the police, most people, especially college students, view it as a bad thing.

When a minor gets a ticket for un-derage drinking at a tailgate or a party gets busted — even when your best buddy gets pulled over for drunk driv-ing — it is always the police officer who is the bad guy.

It is not the police who are the bad ones. The police are the people we should be able to trust, not the people we feel we have to fear.

The police are not targeting stu-dents to get them in trouble — there are far too many students on this campus to do that — they are looking for people who are a potential danger to them-selves or to someone else. We should be grateful for the good that the Ames Police Department and ISU Police do to protect us students.

When we see police while out on Welch, we should not feel like we have to avoid them, which relates back to the culture that surrounds college students and police officers.

The media, the culture we grow up in and our parents telling us to watch out and not get arrested have led us to fear the police rather than trust them. We grow up fearing the police and thinking that they are the reason we are getting in trouble, when in all reality it is ourselves who are breaking the law. If students stopped fearing the police and instead tried to create a better bond to ensure a safer environment for everyone, things could run a lot smoother.

The connection between local po-lice and ISU students should not be a one-way street, but the only people that seem to be working to better the relationship are the officers.

ISU Police and Ames Police are both known for their use of light-hearted social media. Both departments tend to strike a balance between important in-formation like roads closures and funny tweets that connect with their audience. For example, on Oct. 23 an Ames officer saved a turtle in the road.

But the departments’ connection with students doesn’t end after the tweet is sent. Both departments host countless outreach events like attending sorority meetings to explain how to stay safe and out of trouble during parties or its Doughnuts with the Cops event, which raises awareness about alcohol and dis-cusses safety on campus.

ISU students are fortunate to have police departments in our community that understand students. They make an effort to connect with students and show there is nothing to fear. In return, students need to thank their local law enforcement for their efforts and help during their time living in the Ames and ISU community.

After posting a picture of himself shooting a gun on Facebook, Kim’s parents in South Korea told him it was inappropriate since violent people use guns.

IOWA STATE DAILY

SPORTS6 Monday, Oct. 27, 2014

For an international golfer, the decision to play college golf at Iowa State has its perks.

Free education, free gear and the opportunity to prove one’s self against the world’s top amateurs all await a prospect if he or she signs on the dotted line to become a Cyclone.

But what is not featured in the recruiting pitch is the reality that thousands of miles will separate a player from his or her family. It does not mention the doubts that can come with a life-altering decision.

“It definitely takes a special type of person that is willing to move across the world to be away from their family and friends and support system, to really be willing to do that and to understand the opportunity they have to earn a college degree here in the United States and get that college golf experience,” said ISU men’s golf coach Andrew Tank.

For Ruben Sondjaja, as well as nine other in-ternational golfers at Iowa State, occasional feelings of homesickness and doubt can creep into his minds.

“I sometimes feel like, ‘Is this really what I should be doing?’” said the sopho-more from Sydney. “Maybe I should go home and just play golf because it’s quite tough with all the school and all the golf and everything that has to do with being a part of the golf team.”

Unlike in the U.S. where academics and athletics are intertwined, international golfers face a difficult deci-sion if they are to stay home: Forego college for a risky endeavor into professional golf at a young age or attend school and put golf on the back-burner.

While players are quick to point out that coming to

the U.S. was likely the best option for their future, it is one that can weigh on them after the decision is made.

“It’s part of the process that I tell all of the fresh-men,” Tank said. “‘You’re going to get homesick. It’s going to happen. But when you do, come talk to me, come talk to your teammates and we’ll work through it.’”

T h e s u p p o r t s y s -tem Tank talked about is strengthened by the fact that in no way are interna-tional players alone in their journey.

Out of the 14 golfers on the men’s and women’s pro-grams, 10 hail from outside the United States, creat-ing two of the most diverse athletic teams at Iowa State. With a locker room that re-sembles the United Nations, players have the luxury of leaning on others who know what they are going through.

“I think having a lot of international people on the team, people from the same situation, helps a lot,” said Sam Daley, a member of the men’s golf team from Wyn-num, Australia. “If there was just one international per-son on the team and the rest were Americans, no offense to the Americans, but some-times they can’t relate to what we’re going through.”

For senior Chonlada Chayanun, member of the women’s golf team from Na-khonratchaslma, Thailand, her coaches and teammates, both American and inter-national, have provided her with a family environment that is so dearly missed.

“All my teammates and coaches help me feel at home,” Chayanun said. “Any time I have a problem or if there’s a difference be-tween other people I will talk to [assistant coach] Pina [Gentile] or Coach [Christie Martens], and they can be like parents for me, they just make it like family.”

Players and coaches said they make a concerted effort to provide a familial

environment for players, but some American players have taken it a step further by making their teammates a part of their family in Iowa.

“Scott [Fernandez] last year came up with our fam-ily, and we had Thanksgiving with him just because Ames over Thanksgiving is pretty dead,” said redshirt junior Collin Foster, a native of Waukee, Iowa. “I think the little things like that make it easier for them.”

On the women’s side, players have found a home away from home with for-mer Cyclone golfer and Iowa native Katie Gustafson, who graduated in May.

“I’m really close to her and both her mom and her dad, they’re like my family here,” said Cajsa Persson, who is from Jonkoping, Swe-den. “That means a lot to me when I don’t have my family around.”

Though adjusting to life in Ames comes with its chal-lenges, several players said they could envision living in the States after graduation, even if golf is no longer a part of the equation.

“I can definitely picture myself living in America,” Sondjaja said. “If golf works out or it doesn’t I can defi-nitely picture myself work-ing in a business position in America or playing golf and living in America. I really like it over here, and I think I’ve settled in quite well.”

In his four years at Iowa State, Foster said that though his teammates will go through bouts of home-sickness, he believed his teammates are proud to be Cyclones.

“They’re pretty much happy to be here. Occasion-ally they’ll say they wish they were home for this or that, but for the most part they’re all-in here,” Foster said. “They’re happy to be here, they’re happy to rep-resent the Cyclones on the golf course, and I think the school and the team is bet-ter for it.”

For Cyclone Hockey, its offensive luck may start to change.

A f t e r d r o p p i n g 1 9 spots in the American Col-legiate Hockey Association rankings over the season, Cyclone Hockey grabbed a much-needed sweep against the No. 13 Michi-gan-Dearborn Wolverines on Friday and Saturday.

T h e s w e e p m a y b e a sign that the team has found a breakthrough.

“We needed some-thing like this for our luck to change, but it is still too early,” said Cyclone Hockey coach Jason Fairman. “We will have to see how we do over the next couple of weekends — if we do con-sistently well and grab a couple more sweeps it’s a good sign and a good start for us.”

O n O c t . 1 7 a n d 1 8 against Lindenwood Uni-versity, the No. 24 Cyclones (4-4-2) out shot Linden-wood 79-54 but only scored three goals. In the series against the Wolverines, the Cyclones outshot their op-ponent 89-56 and put 13 goals on the board. In the first period of the second game, the Cyclones scored seven goals alone.

The offensive outburst does not come as a surprise to Fairman, who said that this result could have been in any number of series on the year.

Goaltender Scott Is-mond echoed that state-ment.

“ W e m a d e s o m e changes in practice, and it’s great to see results,” Ismond said after shutting out the Wolverines on Sat-urday. “We hope we can

carry the confidence mov-ing forward, and it shows what we are capable of. I don’t know if we are setting the bar high, but it’s some-thing that we have been waiting for; we just haven’t had the pucks bounce our way.”

One of the changes made in practice was mov-ing Eero Helanto, usually a defenseman, to the forward position.

He responded with three goals and an assist on the weekend. He played for-ward when he was younger in Finland and never had the chance for the Cyclones.

“It’s fun to play for-ward, it’s kind of like getting back into it,” Helanto said. “I’ve been playing with J.P. Kascsak and Nate Percy, and they have been a great help for me getting familiar to the position.”

Perhaps one of the big-gest keys that the coach-ing staff addressed for the weekend matchup, and one that may be crucial to changing the team’s recent woes, is the team playing well from period to period, something it hasn’t been able to do consistently this season.

“We are starting to find ourselves as a team. I think everybody has an understanding of who we are,” Fairman said. “There haven’t been many close periods; we are consistently dominating periods. We addressed it after last week-end because we have a his-tory of dominating periods but not playing well the next.”

The Cyclones made that adjustment overnight against the Wolverines. The Cyclones scored three goals in the first period Oct. 24 but allowed two goals in the second period to make the game close. On Saturday, the Cyclones scored seven goals in the first period but did not allow the Wolver-ines back into the game in the other periods.

Overall the big Satur-day win reflects the team’s ability to score and may carry Cyclone Hockey’s confidence into future matchups.

“You know getting that many goals is something you can even dream about,” Ismond said. “Hopefully we can carry the confidence into next weekend. It was something we needed.”

sure that it’s always part of the meeting to look at the degree audit and plan ac-cordingly.

Another issue Babcock has come across is students not knowing their registra-tion date.

“If students are being proactive and know their registration date, that’s huge,” Babcock said. “If you ignore that, then I think that it becomes an obvious-

ly tricky situation because you’re now allowing people in line ahead of you so to speak. And that’s a time you actually want to be a little bit selfish because it can affect your progress toward your degree.”

His last bit of advice are to meet with your ad-viser in a timely fashion, have a good plan and back up courses, use the course scheduler planner and make sure you are “regis-tering someplace you have

good Internet access.”Babcock said the last

thing a student needs is to have their Internet fail when you’re in a race for spots in a class.

Once students have taken care of their ad-viser meeting, they finally get their registration ac-cess number, commonly referred to as a RAN, and they can register. While the whole process might feel monotonous for those going through it again, Sharp said

it is still necessary for stu-dents to meet with advisers.

Having the institution require the advisers to hand out the RAN to students does nothing but force stu-dents into a good place be-fore signing up for classes.

“Collaborating and working together, the stu-dent and the adviser, is critical for one, getting the schedule want, but more importantly, the course you want to take to get your de-gree,” Babcock said.

In some cases, the bul-lying is more obvious. Em-ployees can be belittled, degraded or be the victim of constant public criticism, Krone said.

Tye-Williams said that she has heard of employ-ees being told that their supervisors are “God” at the workplace and that em-ployees must do whatever the supervisor says.

Each form of bullying is different, making it dif-ficult for some people to come out and tell others what they are experiencing.

Some victims are hesi-tant to come forward be-cause they think their peers might see them as unpro-fessional or not fit for the job, Tye-Williams said.

“It appears that co-workers hesitate to speak up on behalf of a victim due to fear,” Krone said.

Sometimes victims are not believed when they tell their story because it is hard to keep everything straight when bullying is constantly happening.

Because bullying in the workplace is a real problem that needs to be dealt with, there are some changes that could be made to increase awareness and prevent it

from happening.It starts by helping out

the current victims. Victims

of bullying often just need to be heard.

“I really think we need

to get better at listening to each other,” Tye-Williams said.

The more awareness about what is actually go-ing on in the workplace, the more the victims will be be-lieved, Tye-Williams said.

Organizations can also help put an end to this by having a culture and en-vironment that does not tolerate this type of behav-ior. Where the behavior is accepted, it will continue to happen, Tye-Williams said.

Simply because there is silence about an issue does not mean that it is not a problem in an organiza-tion.

While each situation is unique, there are some ways that a victim could start reaching out.

For those who are vic-tims of bullying in the work-place, Tye-Williams advised them to first find support somewhere, whether that be in a friend, family mem-ber or counselor. A victim should then get familiar with the organization’s policies regarding harass-ment. Keeping a journal of evidence is also helpful in trying to keep everything in one place and in order.

“You do not have to suffer in silence,” Tye-Wil-liams said.

a Latino’s life in Iowa, Los Amigos and Ricardo Corona sang, Latinas danced to sev-eral traditional dances and a flag ceremony took place.

The tables were also lined with multiple flavors of ethnic appetizers inspired by Ecuador, Puerto Rico and Mexico.

“Celebrating Latino Heritage Month is impor-tant because of the positive representation of the Latino culture to everyone,” said Victor Aguilar-Lopez, presi-dent of the Latino Heritage Committee. “I believe it is important as it upholds our ideals and teaches our cul-ture to everyone to be aware [of] and ultimately aid in the understanding of the Latino community.”

Students also partici-pated in Top Chef Latino, sponsored by the Multi-cultural Student Advisory Council and the Latino Heritage Committee. Stu-dents competed against each other to prepare dishes from their home countries.

The winners were an-nounced during the event, and the dishes were pre-sented during Noche de Cultura.

“It’s important to rec-ognize our heritage because it’s easy to forget where you came from if you don’t keep your heritage alive,” said Rolando Montealegre, se-

nior in chemistry.Months of planning

went into Noche de Cultura. Since Noche de Cultura is one of the biggest events the Latino Heritage Committee hosts, there was a separate committee that focused on just this event throughout the semester.

They began planning and coming up with events in the spring prior to Latino Heritage Month. They coor-dinated Noche de Cultura with other events for Latino Heritage Month at the same time. For the event Noche de Cultura, the planning required contacting per-formers, fundraising to pay for performers and having weekly meetings.

This event was open to all Iowa State students.

“It’s important to pre-serve our culture because it shows people who we are, where we come from, and what we can accomplish,” said Ricardo Corona, ju-nior in civil engineering and event planner for the event.

This event was created to create cultural aware-ness on campus and bring all Latinos on ISU campus under one roof to be proud of their culture.

“Since we are a minor-ity here it gives us a chance to meet other Latinos and bring us all together,” said Jonathan Avalos, senior in business economics. Avalos was a volunteer this year.

They promoted their event through social media and ads throughout cam-pus.

“This event is impor-tant to bring to [Iowa State] because I believe it can be something that bonds all

Latino cultures, no matter how different they are, into one whole community,” Aguilar-Lopez said. “[This] also forms a bond of under-standing between the Latino community and all other communities.”
