A U.S. congressman from Iowa has in- troduced legislation to create a national flood center to help reduce the effects of flooding on the nation. Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, held a press conference to propose the idea June 6. This comes in response to con- stant flooding throughout the nation and after the Iowa flood of 2008. The bill, titled National Flood Research and Education Center Act, was intro- duced June 16. Loebsack said he was disappointed there has not already been a na- Loebsack tional flood center es- Iowa representative tablished. “It is a shame that nearly eight years have passed since the historic floods of 2008 devastated many homes, businesses, and communities in Iowa and the federal government has re- fused to establish a National Flood Cen- ter to address the issue of flooding,” Loeb- sack said at the June 6 press conference.

Opinions — FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION EDITORIAL When genocide is indeed genocide

uring his weekend trip to Armenia, Pope Francis seems to have learned that there is Da time and a place for euphemisms when us- ing the term “genocide” to describe the mass killing of nearly 1.5 million Armenian Christians in a period spanning 1915 and 1923. Following a previous point of contention between Turkey and the Vatican over previous use of the term “genocide” to describe the systematic extermination of the Armenian people, ma- ny observers believed that the pope would shy away from the term. However, despite the potential political repercussions, the pope decided to the use the term, which raises questions about the relationship between definition and diction when it comes to atrocities. The use of euphemism is often necessary in the spheres of diplomatic relations and especially so when speaking of particularly unpleasant subject matter, such as what is recognized by 22 other countries and most historians as genocide. Reluctance on the part of the Turkish government over labeling the atrocity a genocide is understandable to some degree, but the adoption of euphemism should not be used as a guise to obfuscate history and belittle the tragedy that has be- fallen a select portion of the population. A loss of life as great as the Armenian genocide should not be reduced to semantics, because at a certain point the most we can do in the present to honor those who have suffered tragedy is to keep memory of their plight intact. While we may choose to pay little attention to the words we use to describe atrocities, it matters. The words we choose not to use often say more than the ones that we do. Francis has been accused of donning “the mentality of the Crusades” by Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Nurettin Canikli, but an acknowledgment of Pope Francis speaks to the crowd on June 25 after attending a ceremony at a memorial to Armenians killed by the Ottoman Turks in Yerevan, Armenia. Francis demanded that the historical wrongdoing stands in sharp contrast to this world never forget the victims of the slaughter of Armenians at the country’s imposing genocide memorial, hours after drawing a standing ovation from his hosts when he declared imposed similarity. Refusing to call genocide a genocide the slaughter a planned “genocide” aimed at annihilating an entire people. (Associated Press/Alexander Zemlianichenko) even when it is an apt description for a reprehensible massacre because of political implications would appear may provide comfort at the cost of the memory of those pope’s words may not have been the politically correct to be more in line with the supposed “mentality of the unjustly massacred.

Questions I’ve Asked Myself Recently

• Am I the only one hoping #Brexit will domino into a col- lapse of all of the world’s politics, thereby getting us out of the upcoming election?

• Why is it fair for people to just invite you to things they know you probably don’t want to go to, thereby giving you the horrible obligation of having to lie to them about how you’re busy — because they know you’re not busy, you’re just going to be sitting at home, alone, slowly nibbling away on a brick of cheese?

• How come nobody ever accosts me in the Ped Mall on the days when I do have two minutes to talk about climate change?

• If it is what it is, is it isn’t what it isn’t — or isn’t what it is also what it isn’t, if what it is … isn’t it? • If I could legally marry a Bed KRUI Bath & Beyond, would we have to register elsewhere?

MONDAY, June 27, 2016 horoscopes by Eugenia Last

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Old emotions will surface. Keep your thoughts to yourself until you have sorted out exactly what needs to be done. Use your intelligence, and concentrate on your work to bring about personal changes that will lead to greater benefits. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A friendly push will help you get things up and running. Share your ideas, and you’ll get feedback that will be encouraging and insightful. Make personal or physical changes, and make romance a priority. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Quickly size up the situations you are fac- ing, and refuse to be coaxed into something you are not interested in. Protect against emotional manipulation, and concentrate on improving your life. Avoid selfish people. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Let situations unfold naturally. You will do remarkably well if you engage in a personal challenge. Your unique ideas will be well-received and give you a platform that will allow you to make prosperous improvements. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Show everyone how adaptable you are. Share your thoughts, and offer suggestions that will enhance whatever changes are taking place. Being a part of what’s going on around you will give you greater control over the situations you face. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take care of your responsibilities before taking on projects that will not benefit you personally. Reconnect with someone from your past who has always offered good advice. Romance will help bring you closer to someone you love. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Fight for what you believe in, and don’t let yourself be taken advantage of or pushed aside. Use your intelligence to outsmart anyone who tries to outmaneuver you. Refuse to let your emotions take over and lead to a poor choice. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Learn as you go, and create new possibilities that can catapult you into the forefront of a cause, project, or new beginning you are trying to achieve. Love is in the stars, and sharing your feelings and experiences with someone special will make them that much richer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Uncertainty and confusion will be costly. Don’t believe everything you hear, or take anything for granted. Unusual circumstances will arise, and you’ll want to be prepared to deal with any problems that develop. Stick close to home, and protect your reputation and possessions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Listen, but don’t jump just because someone else makes a move. Patience will be your saving grace when it comes to investments, negotiations, and goals you want. Make plans to do something special with someone you love. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Use your intelligence to decide how things should unfold. Don’t leave anything to chance. Figure out the most feasible way to move forward with matters concerning your voca- tion or financial situation, and proceed with a positive attitude. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do what works best for you, and don’t con- cern yourself with what everyone else is doing. Once you have achieved your goal, you can focus on having a good time with the people you love. Home improvements are favored. I have learned to use the word ‘impossible’ with the greatest caution. — Wernher von Braun THE DAILY IOWAN DAILYIOWAN.COM MONDAY, JUNE 27, 2016 7 SPORTS MONDAY, JUNE 27, 2016 FOR UP-TO-DATE COVERAGE OF HAWKEYE SPORTS, FOLLOW US ON TWITTER AT @DI_SPORTS_DESK DAILYIOWAN.COM FAREWELL TO A HAWKEYE LEGEND BOB BROOKS 1926-2016
