BOARD OF REGENTS Funding talks continue Legislators begin working on education appropriations bill By Varad.Diwate @iowastatedaily.com

Funding for the three regent universities remains one of the key issues to be decided on by the state legislature, potentially affecting tuition freeze for the next academic year. The tuition freeze approved by Kennedy DeRaedt/Iowa State Daily the Board of Regents last Decem- ber was “conditional,” pending funding support from the state legislature. “Most of the focus from here on now is going to be on the budget bills,” said Sen.Herman Quirm- bach, D-Ames and vice-chair of the Education Appropriations Subcommittee. “Hopefully, we can come out of the session with something to be proud of. Right now things are up in the air.” Legislators hope to pass all pro- posed legislation before April Greek community dances its way through end of Greek Week 19, the last projected day of the session.

Monday, April 4, 2016 OPINION 5

EDITORIAL Suppressors don’t invite more gun crimes Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad signed a bill into law that will legalize the use, possession and sale of firearm suppressors in the state. After being passed in the Iowa Sen- ate 46-4 and the House 78-21 earlier in the session, Branstad signed the bill in Grinnell on March 31. Suppressors are still regulated by the federal government, as well, requiring Iowans who wish to purchase their newly legal fire arm accessory to pass a background check and pay a fee among many other requirements. This new legalization has drawn some criticism. Many opponents of the law are concerned with the use of suppressors in crimes, and considering the false portrayal of suppressors or “silencers” — as they are so often Courtesy of iStock called — in TV and film, one could While columnist Moran doesn’t believe the current hookup culture in the United States is a good or bad thing, he does believe chivalry should be incorporated into easily share their sentiment. the new culture, including holding the door open for a significant other, walking her home at night and planning an actual first date instead of hanging out.

6 SPORTS Monday, April 4, 2016 FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN Concussions hamper Kristin DeCosta’s career

By Kevin Horner Contributing author

She must be fine. After all, it wasn’t as bad as before, she thought. Still something seemed a bit off for ISU gymnast Kristen DeCosta. The dizziness she’d become so accustomed to during her last four years had returned. Her general motor functions seemed to faintly waver after completing her routine on the uneven bars. DeCosta shoved these concerns aside. She was the “Comeback Kid” as teammates had dubbed her in high school. She always re- covered from injuries. She always came back. The senior gymnast stood poised in one corner of the floor, staring across the gym at her target — the opposite corner. Her usual resolute focus seemed clouded ever so slightly, yet she remained fixated on her goal. She needed to push these seemingly minor symptoms aside and come back to where she believed she belonged at that time — competing in the gym. It all started with completing this skill on the floor exercise. DeCosta accelerated toward her target, timing her steps me- ticulously in preparation for her upcoming series of handsprings and flips, or, in gymnastics terms, her tumbling pass. Her taped ankles took their final lunge before launching DeCosta into the air with seemingly little strain on her mental state. It was almost pure muscle memory at this point — or so she thought. That’s when time stopped for DeCosta. DeCosta described it as “getting lost in a skill.” Essentially, for a brief moment, despite previous experience and training, De- Costa’s body and brain ceased to function. Her body froze midflip, right in midair. “It felt like I was in someone else’s body,” DeCosta said. “[There’s] no other way to describe it.” This “blank memory,” as De- Costa would later refer to it, resulted from the fourth concussion of her college career. At the beginning of the 2013 season, DeCosta dealt with a series of concussions that sidelined her for the majority of her freshman year. The familiar injury came back in her senior season as well. Although, in this case, her symptoms were lesser than her previous concussions, the effects lingered. What DeCosta thought, or hoped, was a minor dizzy spell turned out to be the fourth and final concussion of her career. Time wasn’t the only thing that stopped in that brief moment.
