Cyclones.tv, Iowa State’s 24/7 online broadcasting channel, is expanding to cable television.
Online:
On Wednesday, Cyclones.tv came to a five-year agreement with Mediacom for the formation of a television channel dedication to ISU athletics, considered an uncommon feat in colle-
giate athletics now. “Coaches can go out and recruit now and say we’re one of three programs in the country that have their own sports channel — Texas, BYU and Iowa State,” said ISU
Athletic Director Jamie Pollard. Even though the deal is exclusive to Mediacom, anyone whose cable provider has channel MC22

A tuition freeze will officially be going into effect for the 2013 summer session as decided by the Board of Regents with unanimous support. The Iowa Board of Regents held their monthly meeting Wednesday, Dec. 5 at the Uelner Executive Board Room at the Alumni Center here at Iowa State. A main topic of the Board’s was tuition and fees for the 2013-14
school year. The proposal asked for a tuition freeze for resident undergraduates and only allow for a small increase for graduate Leath and out-of-state undergraduates. During the recession, the Board has been able to hold tuition and mandatory fees for undergraduate resident students to an average increase of 4.4 percent per year ($260).
This is lower than the national average of a 6.8 percent increase. According to the College Board, the national average increase in tuition for public four-year universities in 2013 is seven percent. The Regent universities increased tuition by only 3.75 percent. The next topic relating to Iowa State was the request for Utility Stoker Boiler Replacement project, which would replace three existing

A controversy has arisen between Iowa State and Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin and his advisory board about activity relating to the Harkin Harkin Institute of Public Policy. According to the Ames Tribune, President Steven Leath issued a directive for the Harkin Institute with three stipulations: “Any agriculture research conducted by the Harkin Institute will be directly related to Harkin’s policy papers, and any policy reports will be issued jointly with CARD; CARD must approve of and play the lead role in any research that Harkin Institute does related to agriculture, and the center must not conduct any work in the area of agriculture that is not related to Harkin’s papers and also approved by CARD.” According to their website, Iowa State’s Center for Agricultural and Rural Development “conducts innovative public policy and economic research on agricultural, environmental, and food issues. CARD uniquely combines academic excellence with engagement and anticipatory thinking to inform and benefit society.” CARD, founded in 1958, is “one of the oldest and best known centers focusing on agricultural policy” in the country, according to a statement by Catherine Kling, the center’s interim director, in the Ames Tribune. According to information in both the Ames Tribune and the Des Moines Register, the main controversy is between members of the Harkin advisory board/Board of Regents, who believe Leath’s directive is an example of academic freedom infringement. Leath, certain ISU faculty members and other members of the Board of Regents state this is not their intent. Leath’s intent, they said, was to prevent CARD and the Harkin Institute from duplicating work, according to the Des Moines Register. This is not the first time the Harkin Institute has come under fire since being established two years ago, according to a previous article in the Iowa State Daily. Back in 2011, the institute was criticized by many highranking Republicans, according to the article, for being named after Harkin, a Democrat and sitting U.S. senator, which to some, was a potential ethical issue. Despite the disagreements over the name, the institute was approved on a 6-2-1 vote by the Board of Regents in April 2011, according to another previous article in the Iowa State Daily. Regent Ruth Harkin, also wife of Tom Harkin, abstained from voting. Regents Craig Lang and Greta Johnson voted in opposition while six members voted in favor of the name. The Harkin Institute was established without any restrictions in 2011 to research issues related to agriculture, education, international development, and health and human services, according to the Des Moines Register.

for the institute, it was overlooked that there was already a research institute in place for agricultural policy. In an open forum with students Wednesday night, Leath said, “When the institute was formed, there was a mistake. They said there was no existing centers or institutes at Iowa State. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Harkin Institute, it was formed a couple years ago but our ag policy center [CARD] has been here for over 50 years. “So there was a problem there. President Geoffrey made it clear at the meeting when the Harkin Institute was passed, he would narrow the scope of the institute from the broad language and he did that. He forbid them from working on ag policy. The Harkin Institute advisory board didn’t like that. They came to me and I actually broadened the scope and told them they could work on ag policy individually as faculty members of course, but no restrictions. We don’t put any restrictions on academic freedom.” Leath said at the institute level, the restrictions have actually been loosened compared to how they were. “Where we go next, I’m not sure,” Leath said. Leath said in a statement to the Des Moines Register that the Regents “erred in not pointing out that the institute’s mission would overlap with [CARD].” He also stated he will be conducting a detailed review of the matter before issuing a response.

File Photo: Iowa State Daily Gov. Terry Branstad shakes hands Aug. 13 with a supporter of wind and renewable energy at the 2011 Ames Straw Poll. The straw poll’s usefulness has recently come into question.
Iowa Straw Poll under fire By Thaddeus.Mast @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa Straw Poll, one of the most popular Republican political events in Presidential election cycles, is now under fire from Gov. Terry Branstad. Back in August 2011, before the political campaigning started to take over billboards and television commercials, the Republican presidential candidates came to Ames for the Iowa Straw Poll. The poll is a first political events of the election season in Iowa, but Branstad wants to remove it. Branstad explained why he dropped his support of the poll to Radio Iowa last week: “A lot of people have had some real questions about the way the straw poll thing has evolved and the straw poll aspect of it. It’s not representative, and clearly, the results have shown that in recent times because the people that won the straw polls have not won the caucuses,” Branstad said. “And, the caucuses are what’s most important, and
that’s what I want to keep the focus on ... keeping the precinct caucuses first in the nation.” As Branstad said, the poll is not very accurate at predicting the next Republican candidate. Michele Bachmann won the last poll with Ron Paul coming in second and eventual presidential candidate Mitt Romney coming in seventh. It has only predicted the correct presidential candidates two out of six times. Dalton Drahos, junior in political science, does not see this as enough reason to stop the Straw Poll. “There is no way the Iowa Republican Party is going to stop the Ames Straw Poll,” Drahos said. “They make way too much money to stop it without a good reason.” Mack Shelley, university professor of political science, agrees. “I think that it’s probably going to be retained if only because it’s a fundraising opportunity,” Shelley said. “That’s where it began in the
first place in the late ‘70s. It was a way to try to attract candidates who would invest money and other supporters who would invest money in their campaign and spend it in Iowa. So, it’s literally designed as a way to raise revenue for the Republican Party. That’s one of the main ways the state party gets money.” The Straw Poll gets so much money because every person who votes has to get a ticket, which can cost approximately $30. “If you were to walk up to Michele Bachmann’s trailer and say that you wanted to vote for Michelle, they would give you a free ticket to go in and do that,” Shelley said. “The fundraising part of this is that someone has to pay for those tickets to get you in, but you don’t have to pay for them. What happens is that the campaigns buy up these tickets in advance. The Republican Party also charges rent on space, such as the parking lot and the grounds surrounding Hilton Coliseum.”

>>TUITION.p1 coal-fired stoker boilers with three new gasfired boilers. The project would help the university replace 50-year-old equipment with new equipment that meets new environmental regulations. “These would be more environmentally friendly [and] gas powered to improve environmental standards,” said Warren Madden, senior vice president for business and finance at Iowa State. The $38 million project would require a phase-type process because the boilers can not be shut down. They generate electricity and steam that runs the chilling plant and heats campus buildings. “I expect these boilers to be around for 50 more years and to improve the university and the environment,” Madden said. In addition to the three boilers, Wilson Hall is in need of fire sprinklers. These would be funded by the Department of Residence revenues. Both of these requests were unanimously approved. Another major agenda item for Iowa State was the request to establish a new master’s program in wind energy science, engineering and policy in the College of Engineering. This idea does not exist anywhere else in
the state of Iowa. The new program will offer students careers related to wind energy in industry, academia and even some government areas. After completing the new program, graduates will be able to use their newfound expertise in wind energy to help solve research problems and develop research plans to address the issues regarding wind energy. According to the Board of Regents website, the program will be supported by faculty from the Colleges of Engineering, Agriculture and Life Sciences, and Liberal Arts and Sciences In September 2011, Iowa State received a $3.15 million five-year award from the National Science Foundation to support the policy. Provost Jonathan Wickert informed the board of the proposed program, stating it would be a great thing for ISU students and would attract others to the university. He also mentioned that Iowa State is installing one wind turbine on campus with the hope of getting 50 percent of Iowa State’s energy from wind. The policy received a unanimous yes, and the grant received can be renewed in 2016 to further program research. The Board’s next meeting is scheduled for Feb. 6, 2013, at the University of Iowa.

Since the Big 12 owns the initial broadcasting rights under its new television deal, the new channel will only be permitted to show one football game and from five to 10 men’s basketball games per year.

The quality and amount of stuff you’re producing goes in hand with how much you put towards it. “I don’t have a dollar number to tell you right off the top of my head, but we’ve made a pretty big investment in personal resources for hiring John Walters and the staffing that we have and some physical equipment... which is why Mediacom is picking this up.” Programming will be shown on the current MC22 channel. Right now, the plan is to air live home events for Iowa State and other ISU coverage in segments. “They figure probably in two months or so, they’ll get the channel set up,” Pollard
said. From there, Pollard said the plan is to air ISU athletic programming at all hours of the day every day of the week on the channel, which will officially be branded as “Cyclones. tv powered by Mediacom.” Anyone wanting to watch Cyclones.tv in HD, however, will have to do so online. Pollard said the cable version is beginning in standard broadcast format but did not give a clear indication whether it will adopt HD in the future. The channel’s first broadcast will be a basketball doubleheader on Dec. 9 that will show the women’s game against Fairfield at 1 p.m. and the men’s game against Nebraska-Omaha at 6 p.m. Check back to iowastatedaily.com as this story develops.

Editorial
Keep books after classes for reference
Obtaining knowledge is a fundamental part of a student’s life at Iowa State. Like the university’s mission statement, which is to “create, share, and apply knowledge to make Iowa and the world a better place,” students should seek knowledge while here and apply that knowledge when they’re in school and after they graduate. However, some students lose sight of this aspect of student life and view attending Iowa State as a means to an end — go to classes, do their homework, take tests, etc. to get their diplomas, which assists them in getting jobs. The large amount of students who sell their textbooks after their classes end demonstrates a neglect of the importance of the skills and knowledge they learn while achieving their diplomas. If a student never opens a textbook or judges the information in it as unhelpful, he or she should sell it and earn back the money he or she spent. After all, college is expensive and even the $5 a student receives from selling back a textbook may be the deciding factor on eating dinner or going hungry. However, some textbooks are crucial to a student’s development, especially those relating to a student’s major. Many of the textbooks in introductory courses contain topics that students will need to know for subsequent courses. Introductory textbooks are similar to prerequisite courses in that students must read introductory textbooks in order to understand other textbooks, like students must take prerequisite courses to comprehend additional courses. For example, the introductory textbooks in Sociology 134, the prerequisite course for several upper-level sociology courses at Iowa State, teach students about basic sociological theories and the famous sociologists who created those theories. In upperlevel sociology courses, those theories and sociologists will be referred to. If students did not read those textbooks, and therefore did not learn that information, they may struggle. Essentially, introductory textbooks lay the foundation for the knowledge students acquire both in school and in their careers. Like removing parts of a house’s foundation, if you sell back important introductory textbooks, the knowledge base you built through reading those textbooks may crumble. To maximize their learning experiences, students should keep their important introductory textbooks as reference material for them to use in the future. The likely small amount of money a student will receive from selling his or her textbooks will be insignificant in comparison to the information that student may lose in giving up those textbooks.

Sex makes for fulfilling life Study examines happiness, promotes looking inward
B
reaking news here folks! A recent study discovered that sex/making love is the most pleasurable, meaningful, engaging and happy thing for people. But seriously, a study at the University of Canterbury joined the small but meaningful ranks of researchers attempting to track and measure the happiness and well-being of relationships in day-to-day life. The areas of distinction paint an interesting picture of what a “full life” could be described as. Granted, the means of gathering results — achieved through text-messaging — might not seem like the most reliable of methods, but hey, this is the new millennium, and our robot phones are almost an extension of our bodies. Drinking alcohol/partying came in second in the “pleasure” category, but only 10th in “meaning,” while still hitting fifth in “engagement” and second in “happiness.” Again, not a big surprise given that drinking alcohol/partying tends to lead to sex/making love. There are oodles of fun activities, or notso-fun activities, to peruse at leisure, but when the fun of that has dwindled, take a moment to look at what all of this might mean. Could this be a fair representation of the times? There are, of course, outliers to the generalizations of folks finding sex to be the pinnacle of happiness, but despite the comical obviousness, the sex result along with the other rankings could really tell us a lot about
By Gabriel.Stoffa @iowastatedaily.com how to operate in life. Think about the results of the study in terms of marketing. Such information makes the crafting of commercials or other gimmicks to get a person to buy something a far cry easier if it is agreed upon that making a person happy will sell more things. And political campaigning or policy formation gets a nice leg up as well. With information measuring and tracking how to achieve a “full life,” issues can be tailored or addressed with specifications that otherwise might have been cast aside in favor of those wacky “traditional” notions a lot of older generations subscribed to. Not that traditional views of “full life” are not worthwhile, but that the current 35-andunder crowd, the “younger” generations, might really be serious when they say to their parents — as spoken by “da Dawson” himself, James Van Der Beek, in “Varsity Blues” — “But I don’t want your life.” The applications could do some good with assessing psychological hurdles challenging some, or cause restructuring of jobs to account for what makes people happier, and hence more productive. Who knows how far you can stretch the information for application? Research that examines what people really
want also opens the door to potentially kicking in certain taboos in talking points. There are still some folks uncomfortable with certain topics — sex for example — and as such avoid learning about aspects for what could very likely be the most fulfilling thing in their lives. There will be people arguing that the results don’t represent them, or that will deny the “validity” of some of the rankings, but that’s opinions for ya. Everybody has to be special, or have some distinction. Meh. The reality remains: The results do seem to be a reasonable assessment of folks. Well, of the younger generations at least, as we tend to have this whole “new” outlook on life due to our global village upbringings; that and our adoration of sharing every detail of our lives, compared to the less “out there for all” outlook of many previous generations. Before you scoff, or maybe have a chuckle at the sex “revelation,” and move on with your day, think about what you learned. In fact, you were probably already pondering what things you find in your life to be fulfilling, what make your life have a cherry on top, and ranking them. And that is the beauty of studies like the one under discussion; those studies let you look inward and think. And if a study — no matter how dubious the methods might seem or how potentially skewed you might consider the results — makes you think and lets you learn a little more about yourself, well, doesn’t that make it worth looking into a bit more?

Horse consumption U.S. voters support poses serious threat horse slaughter ban
Phil Brown’s suggestion that U.S. government regulation can effectively mitigate the suffering of horses in horse slaughter plants is wishful thinking at best. History demonstrates that horse slaughter is a cruel, predatory and unnecessary practice. Brown may be surprised to learn that supervision by the U.S. government does not guarantee humane conditions. Prior to the closure of the last domestic slaughterhouse in 2007, U.S. Department of Agriculture inspectors reported rampant violations and cruelty, as detailed in government documents. Horses’ instinctual flight response makes them uniquely ill-suited for stunning, and evidence confirms that they often endure repeated blows and sometimes remain conscious during their dismemberment. The myth that only neglected, old or injured horses are sent to slaughter collapses in the face of the USDA’s finding that more than 92 percent of American horses sent to slaughter are in good condition. These healthy horses suffer not only on the killing floor, but on the cross-country journey
General information: The Iowa State Daily is an independent student newspaper established in 1890 and written, edited, and sold by students
to their gruesome deaths. Long distance transport and intense suffering are an inherent element of this low-demand, foreign-driven industry. Additionally, Brown ignores the serious threat that American horse meat poses to consumers. Horses raised in the United States are routinely administered drugs known to be toxic to humans. The Food and Drug Administration has a lifetime ban on the use of these drugs in animals intended for human consumption. Because horses are not raised for food in the United States, they are not monitored for food safety concerns. It is therefore impossible to guarantee that American horses are free of these toxic substances. A recent national poll revealed that 80 percent of American voters oppose the slaughtering of American horses for human consumption. Passage of the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act is long overdue.

A recent column (“A horse is a horse…,” Nov. 29) does a disservice to horses by suggesting that slaughtering them for their meat will safeguard them from cruelty. The fact is, horse slaughter is cruelty. Writer Phil Brown does an otherwise admirable job of recounting public opposition to slaughter and gives necessary mention to the fact that skittish, sensitive horses are particularly unsuited to the torment of slaughter plants. But Brown inexplicably veers off track in saying that reopening domestic slaughter plants is the answer to an increase in horse neglect and abandonment. He would have us believe that government regulation in the United States would protect against “less-than-humane” techniques in this grisly process. Unfortunately, that’s not so. When slaughter plants operated here, the treatment of horses was appalling. The U.S. Department of Agriculture documented horses suffering during transport to slaughter, often arriving with horrific, bloody in-

juries. And the slaughter process itself is abusive and painful for horses, due to the misguided and often repeated attempts to render them unconscious. The problems of horse abuse and neglect can be solved only with a blend of wise policy solutions, rescue and sanctuary work, and a large dose of personal responsibility. Horse slaughter should not exist as a grisly crutch for irresponsible owners and breeders while the majority finds decent and humane outcomes for horses. Opinion polls from 2012 are clear — 80 percent of Americans oppose the slaughter of horses and the majority do not want their tax dollars spent so that foreigners can consume our horses. Americans do not raise horses for human consumption, so horse meat contains toxic drugs that are potentially dangerous to humans.

Cyclones grab All-Big 12 honors Five defensive ISU players have earned All-Big 12 honors, as was announced Wednesday morning. Nose tackle Jake McDonough and linebackers Jake Knott and A.J. Klein earned first-team All-Big 12 honors while safety Durrell Givens and punter Kirby Van Der Kamp earned secondteam All-Big 12 honors. Klein, who was named Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the Year last season, was named an honorable mention for this year’s Defensive Player of the Year award. The award went to Kansas State’s Arthur Brown, who was a unanimous All-Big 12 first-team selection. Klein led the team in total tackles this season with 98 and also tied the NCAA record for most career interceptions returned for a touchdown by a linebacker (four) this season. Knott’s first-team selection comes from a season in which he only started eight games (75 percent of the season thus far) before being sidelined for a severe shoulder injury that was rooted from last season. Knott finished his career as the seventh all-time leading tackler (recently passed by Klein) with 347 career tackles. McDonough came on strong this season as a destructive force from the 1-technique. The Valley High School alumnus recorded 31 total tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and two sacks on the season. In his first year as a full-time starter, Givens led the nation in total takeaways with nine (six fumble recoveries and three interceptions). Van Der Kamp had a breakout year, nailing 28 of his 69 punts (40.6 percent) inside the 20-yard line. Iowa State faces Tulsa in the 2012 Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tenn., on Dec. 31. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. CST, and the game will be shown on ESPN. -- By Daily Staff
Sports Jargon: Body checking SPORT: Hockey DEFINITION: Body checking is when a hockey player uses their body to knock, or check, the opponent against the boards or to the ice. USE: ISU forward Derek Kohles body checked his opponent against the boards.
Still sitting in Bill Fennelly’s email is a 5-year-old message he once received from an ISU fan. “The email said, ‘I am not a women’s basketball fan, but I don’t like Iowa; I hope you win,’” Fennelly said. “That’s what happens. You get people who don’t necessarily have an affinity for your sport, but they love your school.” No. 22 Iowa State (5-0) will attempt to make that fan’s wish come true on Thursday when it takes on in-state rival Iowa (6-3) at CarverHawkeye Arena. It will be the 17th time Fennelly has taken on the Hawkeyes as coach of the women’s basketball team. Playing on the road in this particular game won’t be an easy task for the Cyclones. Iowa is 14-6 all-time when the teams have played in Iowa City, Iowa. “I remember what happened last time when we were there,” center Anna Prins said. “We definitely embarrassed ourselves.” That was during the 2010-11 season, when the No. 16 Cyclones faced the No. 19 Hawkeyes. Iowa State trailed by only five points at halftime, but Iowa outscored it by 17 points in the second half for a 62-40 victory. Fennelly said his team “got punched in the mouth” to start the game and never recovered. The Cyclones did bounce back with a victory at Hilton Coliseum in the 201112 season. The Cyclones have played three homes games this season and two others on a neutral floor. But the Cyclones are back on the road now, in a difficult environment.
Cy-Hawk series draws attention After six Cy-Hawk events so far this year, Iowa State currently leads Iowa in the battle 9-4. Thursday’s basketball game will be another essential part of the series as the Cyclones attempt to win the series for the second consecutive year. “It’s fun that the women’s basketball game has become part of the rivalry with the Cy-Hawk Series,” said ISU coach Bill Fennelly. “It brings a lot of attention to both programs. It brings a lot of attention to our sport.” Following the women’s basketball game, the men’s basketball teams and women’s swimming and diving teams will face off Friday. The series will then take a break until January.
File photo: Shane Tully/Iowa State Daily Anna Prins fights for the ball against a Western Illinois player Nov. 11 at Hilton Coliseum. Iowa State faces Iowa on Thursday for the Cy-Hawk series.
“It’s a very tough place to play, which it should be,” Fennelly said of Carver-Hawkeye Arena. “In this series — I hope it changes — but it’s been one lately that the home team has won and won fairly easily.”
The Cyclones may be without its leader in Chelsea Poppens yet again, Fennelly said the senior forward is questionable. Poppens sustained a concussion Nov. 23 against Loyola Marymount and has missed the
team’s last two games. Without Poppens, others have stepped up, including junior forward Hallie Christofferson, who is averaging 19 points and 7.5 rebounds per game in the last two games. Christofferson said playing and being successful in Iowa City is about playing with energy. “You have to create your own energy when you’re there, you have to build off your teammates,” Christofferson said. “You don’t have the Hilton fans there to help you out. I just try to stick with the same routine, it’s just another game.” Just like Fennelly with the email, the entire team is well aware of the rivalry it will encounter Thursday. They see it all the time on campus. “When I say Iowa, the demeanor changes in their face,” Prins said. “Everyone knows that rivalry.”
Football
Jack Trice named ‘Field of the Year’ By Isaac.Hunt @iowastatedaily.com
Sports Turf Managers Association announced Jack Trice Stadium the winner of 2012 Field of the Year award for colleges and universities on Wednesday. Tim Van Loo, ISU manager of athletics turf/grounds, was a bit surprised. “I was really shocked because I thought the window to be announced was already gone,” Van Loo said. “I was really happy; I was really pleased.” Van Loo works with students to keep the field at Jack Trice the best it can be. The turf program at Iowa State offers firsthand experience for the students. “Some of them use it as an internship, but they are all turf students at the university here,” Van Loo said. “They are trying to learn everything that they can about what we do here so they can potentially get a job in that career path at some point.” Although most of the
File Photo: Iowa State Daily Jack Trice Stadium is a natural grass field, as opposed to synthetic turf, and will stay so as long as Tim Van Loo, ISU manager of athletics turf/grounds, has anything to say about it.
work is done by him and his staff, Van Loo gave credit to the construction of the field, stating that it was built correctly. The field was built in 1996 and later resurfaced in 2008. It has a sand base, and the construction allows for good
drainage of water. Most of the field’s maintenance takes place in late spring or early summer with the help of four-to-five students, Van Loo gets the field ready for the season. “We do a lot of cultivation, mowing and fertilizer,” Van
Loo said. “Some fungicides are necessary. Most of what we do to get it ready for the season comes in late spring, early summer. We are overseeding and reestablishing all of the wear of the past fall.” The Sports Turf Managers Association saw
the results of the work. Sports Turf has a panel of 11 judges which bases its decision on “playability and appearance of the playing surfaces, innovative solutions employed, effective use of budget, and the development and implementation of a comprehensive, sound agronomic program.” Along with Sports Turf Managers Association, there are some other admirers. “The athletes like it,” Van Loo said. “We practice on natural grass. Coach [Paul] Rhoads likes natural grass, and he’s happy with the consistency we provide. Our practice field and this field play pretty similar.” Natural grass on fields may be dying in college football, but it will stay at Iowa State as long as Van Loo has anything to say about it. “I always say it’s my job to keep this surface so we never have to go artificial,” Van Loo said. “It’s cheaper to maintain this in the long run. If we can keep it playable in all weather conditions, then there is really no reason to change it.”
Hockey
Cyclones growing as team hits midseason By Clint.Cole @iowastatedaily.com The season isn’t going the way the ISU hockey team expected so far, but coach Al Murdoch likes what he sees out of his team. With the end of the semester quickly approaching, the ISU hockey team is just more than halfway through its season. With two home games against Dakota CollegeBottineau coming up, the Cyclones (12-10-1-1) are in fourth place in the Central States Collegiate Hockey League with 34 points. The Cyclones are one point behind No. 6 Illinois and 12 points behind both No. 4 Ohio and No. 3 Robert Morris (Illinois). They are nine points ahead of No. 24 Indiana and 10 ahead of No. 9 Lindenwood. Of the 13 teams the Cyclones have played so far this season, eight of them are currently ranked in the ACHA Top 25. “Our schedule is pretty tough this year,” Murdoch said. “We didn’t really have any soft teams on the schedule.”
Murdoch said he thinks that the Cyclones may have as good of a team as they’ve ever had. “The biggest difference is the opposing schools are very, very good right now,” Murdoch said. Last season, a year when the Cyclones graduated one senior and were led in scoring primarily by underclassmen, Jon Feavel put up 40 points (20 goals, 20 assists) in 43 games played. Feavel is on pace to pass that this season, his junior year, with 27 points (16 goals, 11 assists) through 23 games so far this season while leading the team in scoring. “[Last] year, we had a brand-new team. It was firing right away, but we didn’t have a chance to grow and actually find out about what we are as a team,” Feavel said. “This year, we are being put to the test, where we’re not winning games that shouldn’t, and we’re not losing games that we should’ve won.” Coming into this season, it looked like senior Paul Karus would be the starting goaltender for most of the season, but so far, it looks like it is

sophomore Scott Ismond. So far, Ismond has played in 14 games and has a .922 save percentage and 2.66 goals against average. Ismond is also the only ISU goaltender to post a shutout. Karus, in 10 games played, has a .903 save percentage and a 3.03 goals against average.
Ismond played for the DIII team last season and helped take them to the Final Four, and Murdoch thinks it has paid dividends. “He had a year to grow, a year to develop, a year to get grades established, all of those things,” Murdoch said. “And, I think that’s been excellent.”

Ames: Ready for an industry? Editor’s note: This is part three of a three-part series on the Ames local music scene.
Musician Nate Logsdon feels city music scene is expanding By Dominic.Spizzirri @iowastatedaily.com The Ames music scene has thrived for years and in the past few decades, the scene has connected with its neighboring Des Moines music scene and became home to many artists and bands. Many venues, recording studios, and record labels later, the Ames music scene has grown to be more than aspiring musicians but the work of business musicians that can only lead to one direction: a music industry. Nate Logsdon is a vocalist and trumpet player for the Ames band Mumford’s, creator of the Maximum Ames Music Festival, writer for the Ames Tribune and many other things. He recently wrote an article on the future of the Ames music

ISU station provides chance for local bands By Dominic.Spizzirri @iowastatedaily.com
Photo: Huiling Wu/Iowa State Daily Dax Suntken, junior in civil engineering and DJ and treasurer at KURE 88.5 radio station, broadcasts Nov. 11. The station dedicates an hour per week to in-studio performances, which are then recorded for later play.
Most Ames and Des Moines bands only hear their songs through themselves or friends, but an offer bands can take advantage of is located around the corner in Friley, and that is the Live From KURE radio program. Offered on from 5 to 6 p.m. Fridays from 5 p.m. until 6 p.m., bands are able to come in and perform sets (acoustic or electric) for an hour over the air. The entire broadcast gets recorded over the air using professional recording equipment as well, and then the songs from that recording will be added to the KURE playlist. Nikki Ellis, events director for KURE, started the live show last year. “Usually I approach bands to play over the air,” Ellis said. “But bands can also email us to organize a spot to play, for free.” Ellis said most bands that come in and play over the program get many calls from listeners asking about the band, as well as requests. Mumford’s vocalist and trumpet player, Nate Logsdon, expressed his excitement for playing live on the program, and the attention Mumford’s

Sam Thompson, sophomore in journalism and mass communication, will soon be changing positions amongst his peers in SUB. Next semester, Thompson will become co-Maintenance Shop director with George Potter. Like his brother, Alec Thompson, he works with the film and Maintenance Shop committees. Thompson also wishes to pursue his love of film and immerses himself in the various genres of film.
How did you first get involved with SUB?

My brother was involved in SUB and he recommended it to me. So I joined SUB, joined the films and M-shop committees.
Why did you choose the films and M-shop committees? I’ve always been really big into film and that’s what I’m going into as my career. So I thought not only was that the most comfortable situation, but it’s also what I’ll be doing with my career. And with the
received from it. “It was super fun,” Logsdon said. “We packed nine musicians into that tiny room. It was crazy. A lot of people told us afterwards they heard us on the show.” Besides playing live at the station, bands can also participate in other festivals that KURE does such as the KURE Fest, which features many local bands. For bands to be a part of the KURE Fest, they have to send a press kit to KURE the spring before. KURE is interested in starting other festivals for local bands as well, but the plans are still just an idea, Ellis said. However, members of KURE still believe it is also the bands’ responsibility to get their sound advertised. Dax Suntken, DJ and treasurer of KURE, said it’s a rarity for local bands to be requested over his program. “I play a two-hour show, and I would like to play more local bands, but I really don’t get that many requests for any,” Suntken said. KURE is an opportunity for local bands to take advantage of playing their music over the air and at festivals. Bands can contact KURE to play over their program by email.
M-shop, I love music, I wanted to be involved with more than just film.
How did the process for you to become co-director of the M-shop start? You have to go through an application process and you submit what spots you would like to be a part of. Then you have an interview process with some of the outgoing directors of the activities programs like George Micalone and Jim Brockpahler. And they select whom they want from there.
Are things going to change in the M-shop with you as co-director? No, nothing really big will change. But you’re always looking to better the committee when you’re put into that situation.
What can the students expect from SUB next semester? [The entertainment] is going to be a little bit more crispy because I prefer my SUB’s toasted.

“Trilogy” is the three-mixtape-long climax of Abel Tesfaye’s wellpublicized rise as a young rhythmand-blues artist. The compilation stands as remastered versions of his first three mixtapes, “House of Balloons,” “Thursday,” and “Echoes of Silence,” which were previously released as free downloads online. People like to say he’s a classic R&B crooner — bringing back that Michael Jackson sound. He’s updated that crooning sound, and his mature, spiritual presence takes the listener’s experience to an entirely new level. Technically, these mixtapes have already been floating around the web for quite some time, but the remastered versions are totally worth the $10-or-so investment.
“Far Cry 3” is here, and with it comes a level of polish almost unseen in many open-world games out today. While not perfect, it comes closer than what many other games in the genre have attempted and does so with gorgeous graphics. Your character is inexperienced with killing and even revolts at the thought of skinning animals for crafting materials. However, due to excellent game design, you actually feel like you are learning with your character, as you and he become more skilled/hardened in what you must do to outsmart the witty and quite insane leader of the island. The game is near perfect, and should keep me and many entertained until at least the year’s end.
scene for the Ames Tribune, and there is no one out there who could better know about this scene’s future than Logsdon himself. After years of involvement in the local scene, Logsdon sees the music scene from all perspectives; not just from a band’s standpoint, but the standpoint of the writers, the producers, the venues, the sound guys, the people around the scene and every other angle that could possibly touch the music scene. In the article itself, Logsdon stated it was a long time coming, spanning from ideas and a want he emphasized on for some time. “I had been thinking about writing it for a long time; it was an idea I had been working on,” Logsdon said. “I had noticed the development over the passing time. There was a larger story going on besides events and shows, there were cool things happening. I had noticed that in Ames all these things were interconnecting and something there was growing… an industry is starting to form.” By industry, Logsdon does not just mean bands can become bigger but that the scene can for a full-blown business. Logsdon believes there could be jobs coming from this: many more venues, many more recording studios and, best of all, a gathering of the most talented artists around. “There’s already a lot [of industry] out there, and the more that gets into it, the more that comes. There’s already a lot of studios and venues and bands, but I can see all those things growing even more,” Logsdon said. “[Iowa State] is already in the direction to put it in motion. The Passion Pit show and KURE Fest are two examples of how they are using university funds to bring in major talent.” Many venues have supported the Ames scene, and with the two years between the Maximum Ames Music Festivals, there has been a drastic increase in the number of venues opened for artists. Recording studios are on
their way as well; Alexander Recording Kompany studios recently relocated for a better location and bringing better recording deals for artists and bands alike. Iowa State can also be credited for bringing not just Passion Pit, but also for artists like Bruce Springsteen last October for President Barack Obama’s campaign. Logsdon believes there are really only a few things the residents of Ames have to do to make the scene an industry, and that is to think bigger, put down an investment and to

When you think of holiday movies, your mind will always go straight to Christmas. But why not have a movie with multiple holidays? Rise of the Guardians is a sight to behold. You can see that a lot of effort was put into the details of the world, into the characters and background, with the 3D being spectacular. The characters were interesting, the voice acting was great and many emotions were had. However, some glaring plot holes about the world they created could not be ignored. Rise of the Guardians is a great family movie and will probably become a franchise, but I will most likely forget about it in a few months.

commit to the scene itself. “I think that many more people would be employed, I think that it will get more investments to the city, as well as the community,” Logsdon said. “The climate and culture of Ames is very healthy and very positive, and it is really a good fit for a music industry. It’s a good vibe for business culture… Ames is a small town and you go into a place and meet people who will just work with you. That’s the vibe; that’s the point I want to make.”
