The renaming of the end zone club to the Sukup End Zone Club was submitted to the board along with the rest of the items on the Property and Facilities Commit- tee’s agenda, of which the board approved unanimously. Another item discussed was the approval of the sale of $30 million in dormitory revenue bonds that are to be sold for the construction of Buchanan Resi- dence Hall II. Of the bids received for fi- nancing of the bonds, Robert W. Baird and Co. won the bid at an Sam Greene/Iowa State Daily interest rate of 3.19 percent. The board approved the sale ROTC members commemorate seniors’ graduations with cross-campus run of the bonds unanimously. Members from multiple branches of the ROTC program ran around campus today as a celebration of the year’s graduating seniors have spent at Iowa State. The April 23 run There was also an update on around campus symbolizes the journey that these students have taken as they progressed through the ROTC program.

EDITORIAL Officially recognize Armenian Genocide Today marks the 100-year anniversary of the beginning of what Armenians across the world refer to as the Meds Yeghern, which translates to “great catastrophe.” The great catastrophe refers to the diaspora of Armenians from their homes and their country (then the Ottoman Empire, now Turkey) and the loss of generations of Armenian and irreparable damage done to their culture. About 1.5 million Armenians were killed after being forced from their homes Courtesy of Thinkstock and eventually their country. The Meds Earth Day is an annual event during which events are held worldwide to show support for environmental protection and raise awareness for the planet. Yeghern also has another less popular and, yet, more controversial name: the Armenian genocide. The country of Turkey, known as the Ottoman Empire during and prior to World War I, vehemently denies that there was any systematic killing of Awareness shouldn’t end Armenians, preferring the justification that the mass of deaths were simply an unfortunate consequence of war.
