Sarah Rajala has been named the next dean of the College of Engineering at Iowa State.

She comes to Ames with a long history of administration and leadership in engineering, most recently serving as dean of the College of Engineering at Mississippi State University.

After a long, thorough search that spanned from

early summer through mid-December 2012, Rajala was chosen amongst two other finalists as well as more than 150 applicants.

Luis Rico-Gutierrez, dean of Iowa State’s college of design, as well as David Holger, associate Rajala provost for academic programs and dean of the graduate college at Iowa State, headed the search committee as

co-chairs.

This committee “was meant to represent the stakeholders of the college,” Holger said.

This includes more than 20 members that featured students, faculty and staff that worked tirelessly to filter through what was regarded by both Holger and Rico-Gutierrez as a very strong applicant pool.

Recreation

Ames parks director resigns

By Tedi.Mathis @iowastatedaily.com Nancy Carroll, parks and recreations director for Ames, is resigning after working for the city for more than 27 years.

Throughout her years working for the city, Carroll has been instrumental in the creation and maintenance of many parks. She has also been an important figure with the development and maintenance of other public facilities, such as the Furman Aquatic Center.

Carroll has also worked closely with many students from Iowa State through internships and employment opportunities provided by the city.

“There are about 400 seasonal positions, and about 70 percent of them are filled by students,” Carroll said.

The city’s collaboration with the school is something Carroll cites as one of the best parts of her position.

“Collaboration with ISU students and administration is second to none in the country,”

Photo: William Deaton/Iowa State Daily Nancy Carroll, park and recreation director for Ames, is resigning after 27 years with the city.

Carroll has taken a position at Biblical Institute for Leadership Development International.

Carroll said.

An example of this collaboration is the Ames ISU Ice Arena, which was built in 2001. The city and university worked together to build the ice arena; they also laid out

scheduling to ensure that all groups from the city and the university who need to use the ice arena can have access to it.

Though she may not work directly with all of the residents of Ames, Carroll’s position with the city had a great impact on everyone here.

“What I have tried to do is connect people’s needs to resources to make them come alive,” Carroll said.

It is this imagination and passion to help others that has guided Carroll to her new position with a non-profit group called Biblical Institute of Leadership Development International. The group is a Christian outreach program, which helps provide college degrees to church leaders both nationally as well as internationally.

The program is based out of Carroll’s church, Oakwood Road, and has been growing for the past 20 years. Carroll will be taking on a fund development position with the Biblical Institute of Leadership Development International.

Carroll has said that there are plenty of similarities be-

tween her job with the city of Ames and her new position in the nonprofit group. “How do you work with others to get something [accomplished] for the good of the cause?” Carroll asked. She said both jobs are about “seeing the need and trying to figure out how to meet the need.”

Carroll will finish in January with the city. Her last day will be Jan. 31. She will then move on to her new position. “[Carroll] is leaving a department that is in good shape and functioning well,” Susan Gwiasda said. Gwiasda is the public relations officer for the city of Ames.

The city of Ames will soon begin an international search to find a replacement for the park and recreations director.

Gwiasda said the manner of filling this position “would follow a traditional recruitment process.”

Currently, the city is also working to fill two more positions. The search is underway for a new city attorney, a position chosen by the Ames City Council, and a new planning and housing director.

Dormitory

Elevators in Maple-Willow-Larch unreliable Concerns cause questions about maintenance

By Emma.Altheide @iowastatedaily.com Anyone who visits the Maple-Willow-Larch complex frequently is likely to have experienced some elevator woes.

Problems with any of the halls’ six collective elevators are a relatively common occurrence and have sparked discussion about possible causes and solutions.

An elevator may be out of order for a period of time that can span from a few hours to a few days, but any issue can be a major inconvenience for the large number of students using the elevators each day.

Andrea Kastorff, sophomore in kinesiology and health who lives on the eighth floor of Maple Hall, said there have been problems with the elevators at least once a month, sometimes more.

“I’m on the eighth floor, but there was a week after both [the elevators] went down at the same time that I used the stairs because I just avoided the elevators at all costs,” Kastorff said. “I didn’t want to deal with it.”

Tara Weber, sophomore and seventh-floor resident of Willow Hall, discussed a few of the causes behind the elevator problems.

“I know that there have been complaints of overfilling the elevators; that has been an issue,” Weber said.

An additional concern about the elevators not working is the possibility of people being stuck inside.

Kastorff knew of multiple times when someone was stuck in one of Maple Hall’s elevators.

“Pretty much every time they break, there’s somebody

in them,” said Kastorff.

Residence staff said as soon as they are made aware of someone stuck inside, a community adviser is sent to talk with them and let them know help is on the way.

Anyone stuck in an elevator is usually there for less than 15 minutes.

Cameron Aisenbrey, communications specialist with the Department of Residence, said that the work done on the elevators is extensively documented.

Maintenance hours recorded for the elevators are broken down into repair, restoration due to vandalism and regular preventative maintenance.

Of the nearly 53 hours of repair logged for the elevators in Maple Hall this semester, more than 29 hours were for repair, 11 in response to vandalism and a little more than 12 for preventative service.

“If you’re looking at reasons it would need to be repaired other than vandalism and preventative maintenance, a lot of it, with Willow in particular, is basically an encoder error,” Aisenbrey said.

“So the elevator basically just malfunctions, essentially, so that’s something that we would have to repair.”

Elevators in MWL are original to the buildings, constructed in the late 1960s through the early 1970s. The elevators underwent a modernization project in the early 1990s to bring them up to code and update their technology.

“Sometimes it can be affected by the users of the elevator,” Aisenbrey said, citing problems with overcrowding and instances of people holding the doors open for too long.

“It can also just be a malfunction in the actual elevator, too.”

Aisenbrey said the Department of Residence administrative staff is currently deciding where their funds are most needed, but campuswide elevator upgrades are scheduled throughout next semester.

“We understand that the issue has been identified and that it has been raised by a number of students,” Aisenbrey said. “We do understand that the problem is there, and that we need to fix it.”

Economics

Editorial:

Pillars: An unnecessary budget item?

Welcoming travelers of Highway 30 as they enter the city of Ames is a brief series of pillars of light. Like the pillar of fire sent by God that led the Israelites through the wilderness, or like a fiber-optic cable carrying an important message, the million-dollar iridescent lights reassure travelers that Ames is indeed there and is a welcoming place. Or so the city anticipated.

For many years business owners in south Ames, through their organization called the South Ames Business Neighborhood, have worked to improve the aesthetic of South 16th Street and Dayton Avenue. Without question, their efforts have been successful.

With the exception of the ruined truck stop on the south side of Highway 30, the area looks respectable.

But the culmination of the beautification project is the columns of light, one member of the South Ames Business Neighborhood suggested to the Daily in a recent article.

We hope that in the future, the city will spend the taxpayers’ money more wisely. Although the best intentions inspired this final phase of the project, the result is cheesy or, at best, cute. As reported in the Daily, members of the South Ames Business Neighborhood were concerned that the west-on-30 route into the city left its users with something wanting. One asked, “Why would you even stop? There’s nothing to make it look like there is something there.” A memorandum from May 22, 2012, described the “Lighted sculptural columns” as “a key component of the Southeast Entryway Project.” The purpose of the columns is to “create a stronger sense of arrival into Ames.”

What does Ames need, an arch over the highways that lead to it? The three rules of real estate — location, location, location — seem to have cheated Ames. The roads into town do not take visitors to some hillcrest to show a stunning vista of Ames and the fields beyond.

There is nothing wrong with that.

Both Interstate 35 and Highway 30 run along the periphery of Ames. Unless you’re actually on the City Council, work there, live there or work with the Planning and Zoning Commission, chances are those two roads mark the boundaries of town. Unlike metropolitan areas such as Des Moines, only one highway actually runs through the city: Highway 69, which in town becomes Grand and Duff Avenues.

Although routes into the city probably should be well maintained and improved or upgraded as necessary, budgeting first $1,058,236 and later $974,420 for a dozen light columns — even though the project was paid for using grants from the Iowa Department of Transportation and not just money from the taxpayers of Ames — seems unnecessary. How can a million-dollar set of light columns be more worthwhile than, for example, basic road repair around Ames, or investment in the public school system, or lower property taxes?

We realize that many agencies were involved in the decision to beautify Highway 30 with light columns, and that large portions of the funds available had stringent usage requirements.

Overall we have to ask a question larger in scope than Ames: Why do we tie up our money in projects designed to create good feelings rather than a better world? When it’s a choice between subjective appearances that may or may not be worthwhile and tangible improvements that actually get used and have objective value, perhaps we should try the latter.

Tax divisions generate cliff

Political parties diverge on fundamental tax policies

T

he debate on the fiscal cliff mostly focused on cutting spending and raising revenue. One of the most contentious issues was taxes on the rich. Ultimately, both parties in the Senate agreed upon taxing the topmost layer of the income bracket. Routinely, the Democrats want higher taxes for the rich as part of their “fair share”, lowering taxes for the same economic group has been a hallmark policy of the Republican Party. Even after decades of experience of different policies, both the parties are still divided on the issue. So what beliefs make this issue a divisive one?

The approach to taxation has more to do with the way both the parties see the role of private businesses, government and campaign donors. For the Republican Party, private businesses create jobs at all levels and there should be incentive for them to grow. Low taxes can provide capital for expansion of the business.

Lowering taxes was one of the fundamental principles of “Reaganomics “ or economic policies advocated by President Ronald Reagan, and even President George W. Bush signed laws to this effect. (Reagan signed the Tax Reform Act of 1986 while Bush’s last bill for lowering taxes was the Job and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation of 2003.)

Accordingly, a number of causes for tax-cuts are advocated by conservatives and related think tanks. In a commentary piece, David Boaz of the Cato Institute argues that money should be kept by the people who earn it. Also, the rich are “job creators” and higher taxes can discourage job development. The tax cuts can put more disposable income in people’s hands and thereby create jobs, a working model of the “trickle down” economic theory. There are others who say that if people keep more share of their earnings per dollar, they’ll be encouraged to work harder in the future. Another contention is that a higher tax rate will discourage investment and spending by the rich.

On the opposite side, the Democratic approach has been to emphasize the Keynesian idea to create jobs through government stimulus or spending. The belief lies in the economic principle that job creation is not about more money in the hands of the rich but about overall demand in the economy which cannot be increased only by tax cuts. Where does the government look for revenue to be spent? So the Democrats push for higher taxes across the board, especially on the rich. I think this is where the sparks start to fly as there is severe opposition from conservatives to raise taxes against the wealthy.

Apart from the federal income tax, there are other taxes that are subject to debate. These

Illustration: Ryan Francois/Iowa State Daily

By Varad.Diwate @iowastatedaily.com taxes are the dividend tax and the capital gains tax: income from selling stocks. During the last presidential election, there was a lot of curiosity about presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s tax returns. As most of his income was from investment gains, he paid an effective tax rate of 14.1 percent. This is less than half in comparison with the maximum federal income tax rate of 35 percent. It can be considered a loophole as corporate CEOs are paid in stock to avoid the higher tax rate. It’s ironic that a person earning “idle” income on capital pays less tax than a person with a “working” income. Someone who has invested in stocks pays less tax on dividend and capital gains, while someone who works a regular job pays lot more in federal taxes.

Warren Buffett is among the few who have supported higher taxes for the rich and ultrarich. In an op-ed in The New York Times he writes, “So let’s forget about the rich and ultrarich going on strike and stuffing their ample funds under their mattresses if — gasp — capital gains rates and ordinary income rates are increased. The ultrarich, including me, will forever pursue investment opportunities.”

An often overlooked aspect of this equation is the government revenue. Tax cuts naturally reduce government revenue and in turn affect long-term national investment in infrastructure, education and healthcare. So, the Republican idea to raise revenue is through closing loopholes. However, there is reason to believe that only closing loopholes won’t work to raise the needed revenue. Looking at the past, we see that top earners in the economy were taxed at least 70 percent and higher, in the period from 1940 to 1980. This period was also a “boom” period in U.S. history. Similarly, Clinton tax hikes in the ‘90s were followed by steady economic growth. Definitely, there were a number of factors at play during the economic boom periods. But looking at the past experiences with tax, it is difficult to see how low taxes can foster growth or high taxes can kill the job market.

The questions and decisions regarding taxation become even more difficult due to political divisions. However, endless debates and inaction are not of help either.

Debt

Americans live outside of means Editor’s note: This column is part one of two in which Michael Belding discusses the significance of the national debt.

Look for Part II on Tuesday, January 22.

E

xceptionally absent from the debate that surrounded the so called “fiscal cliff” was the issue of the national debt, which stands at an unfathomable $16.3 trillion. That issue is inherent in the whole discussion of taxes, revenue, deficits, spending and the economy — and it is the public incarnation of those private problems— but the national debt per se consistently has been shoved aside in the rhetoric of key players.

Speaker of the House John Boehner alluded to the looming debt crisis in the speech he delivered Nov. 7, 2012, saying the best solution to the cliff is “an agreement that begins to pave the way for the long-term growth that is essential if we want to lift the cloud of debt hanging over our country.” However, he quickly moved on to his vision of a plan that would strengthen the economy. In turn, a strengthened, growing economy would lead to more revenues, which would allow us to pay off the debt.

President Barack Obama replied in a speech two days later Nov. 9, 2012. The American people elected the victorious politicians, including himself, he said, “to focus on your jobs, not ours.”

“Our top priority,” he said, “has General information: The Iowa State Daily is an independent student newspaper established in 1890 and written, edited, and sold by students

By Michael.Belding @iowastatedaily.com to be jobs and [economic] growth.”

He and Congress should work to avoid the fiscal cliff because “It would be bad for the economy, and it would hit families that are already struggling to make ends meet.”

As the Jan. 1 deadline for enacting a solution to the cliff loomed, Obama delivered another speech in which he prioritized not debt reduction but job security, government benefits and a few thousand dollars per year per family. He said the best solution was “a balanced plan that would … above all, protect our middle class and everybody who’s striving to get into the middle class.”

But the magnitude of our indebtedness is so great that we cannot afford to wait for our economy to grow. Taking out debt might be a prudent investment in the future, but allowing it to accumulate and shrugging it off is nothing less than reckless abandon.

Debt is more than a rain cloud hanging over the heads of those who owe money to others, especially when it is so large that paying it off in the foreseeable future (i.e., within the lifetimes of those Congress members who voted for it) is next to impossible.

Yet the enormity of how difficult it would be to pay down the debt at this point in time, makes such payment all the more necessary.

Reducing the national debt is more important than creating pro-business or pro-consumer tax policy because, to the extent that a person — or a country— owes more money than it can immediately pay to its creditors, he coexists with them in the same relationship as a chattel slave exists to his or her master. In a country with a gross domestic product of $15 trillion that collects $2.57 trillion in revenue, our national debt clearly limits us.

Why is it so acceptable for us to live outside our means? Taking on debt and paying tribute have been the ruin of nations. As the people live, so the government will live.

Think of how eager your parents are to pay off the mortgages $62, annually, for the general public.

on their houses, or how proud your grandparents were that they rarely used credit, or how excited you are to pay off your car and student loans (and how much noise is given to reducing student debt, from student body presidents to the president of the United States).

And if indebtedness is a condition individuals should seek to avoid, why is it not a condition the whole country should seek to avoid?

I suggest that it is because we have failed to maintain a rigid discipline in what is, and is not, the purpose of government and politics. That will be the subject of my column next week.

Anniversary

The Cafe celebrates 10 years

By Alexander.Furman @iowastatedaily.com The Cafe in Ames is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, and has continued to grow, despite rising prices of locally grown goods in Ames.

Kevin Rettig, owner and general manager, is confident they’re not going anywhere and are ready to keep business going. Rettig co-owns the shop with partners Pat Breen and Bob Cummins.

“It’s a great spot; I’ve lived here most of 20 years. The city of Ames has a lot to offer because it’s a college town,” Rettig said.

The Cafe has a menu that changes every six weeks and offers vegetarian and vegan options for its customers,

Cafe hours ■■ Sunday - Thursday: 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

■■ Friday - Saturday: 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

but that’s not all which keeps people coming back.

“Everyone loves this building when they walk into it,” Rettig said.”It was well designed; it’s very comfortable in here. The way the dining room is set up, every booth has its own visual space. It has a comfortable feeling.”

The Cafe menu offers American

Current Cafe menu The Cafe’s “After Five” menu currently has the items available: ■■ Duck breast ■■ Pot roast ■■ Pasta bolognese ■■ Wood-grilled salmon ■■ New York strip steak

cuisine for all meals of the day.

“From a menu standpoint, we’ve always tried to take familiar comfort food and put our own little bit of

a spin on it,” Rettig said. “Change I think is very important to this restaurant, to not only the food, but also how we go about our business, continually improving.”

The Cafe, a multi-faceted restaurant, boasts a bread and pastry bakery, coffee stand, restaurant, and full bar.

“It’s hard to really choose a favorite dish. There isn’t a live band or anything crazy like that, but they do play music, mostly jazzy stuff from what I’ve noticed. It’s a nice compliment to the atmosphere of the restaurant,” Kaitlyn Romitti, sophomore in dietetics, said.

For 15 years, Rettig worked with his current business partners at a local business, Aunt Maude’s, starting

at the bottom washing dishes and working his way up to his current position. Eventually, he had the opportunity to start up The Cafe, and despite an economic downturn, it’s still managing to grow today.

Rettig points out the placement of The Cafe was well off the beaten path, in a nearly undeveloped area of Ames at its inception, 10 years ago; a decision which appears to have been a good one.

“You just know when you’re in something that’s right,” Rettig said.

There aren’t any special plans for the anniversary as of now, Rettig said.

He’s been considering bringing back old menu items, noting that doing over-the-top things isn’t really in The Cafe’s nature.

Local pizza offers taste of New York

By Alexander.Furman @iowastatedaily.com “We don’t pretend to be something we’re not,” are the resonating words from Ish Dika, son of the owner of Joe’s Pizza and Pasta in west Ames.

Joe’s Pizza opened its doors mid-October 2012, and since then, business has been booming. Their claim to fame is their authentic dishes, which owner Ristem “Joe” Dika said tastes the same as anything coming from New York.

“It’s authentic as it gets. If you go to New York and you find a little mom and pop [store] … it tastes like our pizza tastes. I don’t think you can get that anywhere around here,” the Dika family said.

All the dishes are made entirely from scratch, from dough to marinara sauce to the bread delivered with your meal.

The whole clan believes family comes first.

Joe has moved from New York to Texas and finally to Iowa, supporting his children’s choice to attend Iowa State.

One of Dika’s sons, Shaban, is an offensive lineman for the Cyclones. While Shaban is busy with academics and football, the rest of the family’s children are busy tending to the restaurant in addition to being full-time students.

Joe said his two main reasons for starting his pizza joint in Ames were his age — he did not want to work the long hours he used to — and wanting to spend more time with his children.

“The traveling got to me mostly,” said Dika.

“I’ve always wanted to make a place in Ames because I used to have places all over Iowa.”

Dika said starting his takeout pizza joint in Ames wasn’t too difficult. This is his fourth restaurant in Iowa, and he also has places in Texas and New York.

“We’ve actually had a lot of support with peoplewho come in and try us before. Word of mouth has been good for us; we can’t complain too much,”said Dika.

“The most difficult thing is the price for us.

We have to buy things like fresh mozzarella. In the last couple years, the price of produce has gone up, and we can’t really change the prices of our pizzas.”

Even with all the challenges of small businesses, the family was confident they would expand but was wary of being too busy. They believe that there is such a thing as “too much business.”

Ish Dika said as business grows, the entrée and especially the dessert menu will expand as well. Dika explained the items shown on their menu right now aren’t all the family is skilled at making.

Men’s Bball:

Cyclones’ Niang named Big 12 Rookie of the Week Earning the start in both of Iowa State’s first two Big 12 games last week, freshman Georges Niang played a large role for the ISU men’s basketball team on his way to being named the Big 12 Rookie of the Week.

Niang started off strong in his second-career start and first Big 12 appearance Wednesday against No. 6 Kansas.

The forward scored Iowa State’s first eight points in an eventual overtime loss and finished with 13 points and seven rebounds.

In the Cyclones’ conference home opener Saturday, Niang led the Cyclones with a career high 18 points.

Overall in the two games during the week Niang averaged 15.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.

Niang has scored in double figures in six of the team’s last seven games and has provided a boost in the starting lineup for the last two.

The award is the second rookie of the week honor for the team this season as Will Clyburn took the award on Dec. 3.

Forward Melvin Ejim was named the conference’s player of the week on Dec. 17.

The Cyclones return to the court Wednesday at Hilton Coliseum to take on conference newcomer West Virginia. Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m.

Cyclones find success with Niang True freshman quick to make an impression

By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com Fred Hoiberg only needs one word to describe his freshman Georges Niang: “Efficient.”

Through the ISU men’s basketball team’s first 15 games of the season, the 6-foot-7 forward is averaging 11.5 points and 5.3 rebounds in 22.7 minutes per game.

Niang has made three starts for the Cyclones, including the team’s first two conference games this past week. In a road game against No. 6 Kansas last Wednesday, Niang scored the team’s first eight points and was kay in playing a large role in an overtime loss.

Hoiberg, though, isn’t surprised by the 19-year old’s quick success.

“I’m not surprised by anything

Georges does,” Hoiberg said at his weekly news conference on Monday.

“Going back to his recruitment watching him play against Niang [Kentucky freshman] Nerlens Noel in open gyms when we were recruiting him, he could score over him. I didn’t see many people have that ability to score over Nerlens.”

Niang went to Tilton, a prep school in Tilton, N.H., where he played with Noel, the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2012. Although undersized and lacking athleticism, Niang has found a way to succeed against bigger players.

It didn’t take Niang long to understand he wouldn’t beat collegiate players with athleticism. The 6-foot7, 245-pound forward never was known as an athletic big man.

2012 slate proved to disappoint ISU hopes

File: Shane Tulley/Iowa State Daily Georges Niang extends for a dunk after getting a head start with the rebound in a game against Texas. Will Clyburn and Fred Hoiberg were quick to notice the talent and potential Niang has.

Better than last season’s team?

After falling to Iowa State 82-62 on Saturday, Texas coach Rick Barnes was complimentary of this season’s ISU team.

“I think they’re a better team this year than they were a year ago,” Barnes said. “I just like the way they flow and I think they do a nice job.”

When asked if he agreed at a news conference Monday, ISU point guard Korie Lucious said he feels this season’s team is much different than the one that took the floor at Hilton Coliseum a year ago.

“Last year Royce [White] was the primary ball handler, primary scorer, rebounder, assist man,” Lucious said.

“This year we have Will [Clyburn] who’s our leading scorer, me leading assists and Melvin [Ejim] as the leading rebounder.

“I don’t think it’s too much of a difference talent-wise, but I think right now we’re just kind of built different.”

Cyclones continue ‘grind’

By Stephen.

Koenigsfeld @iowastatedaily.com Despite being plagued with injuries, Oklahoma will come to Ames on Tuesday night to take on an ISU team that has only had two hiccups this whole season.

ISU coach Bill Fennelly said people have been talking about how much of an improvement this year’s Cyclone basketball team (12-2, 3-1 Big 12) has made since last year’s 0-5 conference start.

“We are off to a good start, better than last year,” Fennelly said. “But, it’s all about Tuesday. The next 40 minutes, the next 40 minutes, the next 40 minutes... We just have to be that way here. That’s what I’m about. That’s what our team’s about.”

Fennelly said he will always cherish the “grind” of his “Iowa State way” no matter how well the team is doing.

Coming off of a road loss to No. 1 Baylor is almost completely out of the Cyclones’ minds. A convincing victory at home against TCU proved that last Saturday.

To continue the kind of conference grind the Cyclones are putting on in the Big 12, point guard Nikki Moody said it will

Check out live tweets of the women’s basketball game Tuesday from @SKoenigsfeld and @dylanmontz

In my two years of covering ISU football, Paul Rhoads has known who I am.

Never to shy away from asking a tough question, Rhoads eventually nicknamed me “Donald Sutherland” for the “negative waves” laden in my inquiries midway through last season.

Although I had never seen or even heard of the 1970 film “Kelly’s Heroes,” those trigger words had surfaced at the hint of any question directed at vulnerabilities or unfavorable challenges for his team.

Well, in possibly one of my final assets as an ISU football beat writer, I’m going to need to channel my inner negative waves: If fans think the 2012 season was a success for the Cyclones, they’re kidding themselves.

Sure the Cyclones beat Iowa for the second straight year and beat TCU for the first time in school history. But aside from a few bright spots, didn’t the Cyclone Nation expect more from Rhoads’ team in his fourth year at its helm?

Despite his somber demeanor after his team’s 31-17 loss to Tulsa in the Liberty Bowl, Rhoads said he still views the 2012 season a success.

“It’s Dec. 31 and we’re talking football, we’re playing football, we’re in uniform; there’s a lot of folks that aren’t,” Rhoads said.

“You get to the postseason in college football, you’d had a successful season.”

However, Rhoads did stop himself short of saying a 6-7 season — his team’s second in a row — was considered successful by his program’s standards, and rightfully so.

Before the Cyclones’ game against Kansas in mid-November, senior linebacker A.J. Klein said he thinks the team underachieved this season with even a bowl berth not likely to change his opinion.

In some sense, he’s right.

“Yes, the goal is to get to a bowl game,” Klein said. “[However], it’s underachieving because it’s not Big 12 Championship-worthy football right now.

“That’s our expectation, that’s what we are working towards.”

For a team that has seen its home attendance record shattered from 2011 with 13 consecutive games of at least 50,000 fans, there’s a lot to be desired for fans to want to see the cardinal and gold stroll off the field with more than six victories in a season.

The most noticeable downfall for this team has been inconsistent quarterback play.

Three — count ‘em, three — quarterback changes from one start to another have been a killer of offensive production all season.

While the stats are not too dismal, the Cyclones should have won a few of the games they ended up losing because of some hiccups on offense.

The missed extra point upon scoring their second touchdown against Texas Tech killed momentum and ultimately was one of those “what if” moments for the Cyclones in the Big 12 opener. Steele Jantz passed for 73 yards and turned the ball over four times in that game, crippling the Cyclones from coming back in the 24-13 loss.

Jantz was benched in favor of Jared Barnett, who just so happened to lead the team to its first-ever win against TCU the following week. So Barnett was supposed to save this season, right?

Not so fast, my friend.

The week after that win, it was Barnett who threw an interception in the red zone in the 27-21 loss against Kansas State, which Iowa State should have won had that interception instead been a touchdown.

A win against then-ranked

Hockey

Buttermore temporarily leaves ISU hockey team

By Clint.Cole @iowastatedaily.com Sophomore forward James Buttermore is away from the ISU hockey team “to sort through some personal things,” said ISU coach Al Murdoch.

Buttermore was charged with nuisance party regulations in December and was at home during last weekend’s home games against Ohio.

According to Iowa Courts Online, Buttermore pleaded guilty to the charges on Monday.

“I think in situations like that you just give them a little time and space because he knows as well as all our players knows that in order to be successful at Iowa State you really have to focus on academics and you have to focus on hockey,” Murdoch said.

“There isn’t a lot of time here for anything else.”

Murdoch said Buttermore made the decision to be away from the team on his own. There is no timetable for his return and Murdoch doesn’t know if he’ll return at all.

Murdoch said that he thinks Buttermore intends to stay in school this semester and that he was on

campus on Monday meeting with his adviser.

The 6-foot-1 forward from Stillwater, Minn., ranks fourth on the team in total goals with 23 points (10 goals, 13 assists) over the course of 24 games.

Buttermore had three game-winning goals this season, making him a valuable asset to the hockey team.

“It definitely brings kind of a negative aura to the boys that he didn’t come back,” said alternate captain Mark Huber.

This is not the first time Buttermore has been in trouble since starting his ISU career. In September 2011, he was charged with consumption/intoxication.

Even with ISU forward Austin Parle being charged with consumption/intoxication earlier this season, Murdoch doesn’t think run-ins with the law are becoming a problem.

“A lot of our players have lived away from home three, four, five years, so we consider them adults,” Murdoch said.

“If they don’t use good judgment they pay the price. Our discipline is pretty firm and, you know, we like to see them correct their ways.”

File Photo: Jonathan Krueger Sophomore forward James Buttermore celebrates his goal against the WVU Mountaineers on Saturday, Nov. 24, at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena, giving the Cyclones a 2-1 victory. Buttermore left the team for personal reasons.

File: Huiling Wu/Iowa State Daily Coach Paul Rhoads speaks at Big 12 conference on Aug. 21 in the Jacobson Building’s Hunziker Auditorium.

Rhoads considers the Cyclone’s 6-7 season with a bowl appearance a comparative success.

>>DISAPPOINTMENT.p6 No. 6 Kansas State would have been almost as big as the Cyclones’ upset of No. 2 Oklahoma State in 2011. It would have been that marquee win that would have essentially defined the season as the OSU win will always define 2011.

Iowa State would have cracked the AP Top 25 for the first time since 2005. Yes, it did receive its first-ever BCS ranking, but to land a spot in the independent AP poll would have been as big of a deal.

Take away running back Jeff Woody’s fumble inside the red zone in the closing minutes against West Virginia, and the Cyclones probably win their regular season finale in overtime. The team is 2-1 in overtime under Rhoads, so why not like its chances in that situation?

Would have, could have, should have.

>>GRIND.p6 be just as important as the previous week to keep beating conference opponents. “[Oklahoma] is up there [in the standings] just like we are, and if we beat them at home, we have a better advantage of going back to their place and taking a win there,” Moody said. “It’s an important game.”

The importance of winning in the Big 12 was stressed with freshman guard Kidd Blaskowsky. She mentioned that protecting their house is a bonus.

“Getting a win in the Big 12 is always big,” Blaskowsky said. “This one will be really big for our school and after what happened with

Don’t take this the wrong way, Rhoads’ program is taking steps in the right direction and will continue to do so barring any radical changes. Sam Richardson’s emergence as the team’s starting quarterback for the time being seems promising. Despite his 0-2 record as a starter, Richardson has the intelligence and athleticism that both Jantz and Barnett lacked.

But can this team afford another mediocre 6-7 season, even if it’s justified with the argument that the Big 12 is one of the toughest conferences in the nation?

“A lot of progress has been made in this program since I’ve been here,” Klein said. “We want people to have high expectations for this program because we hold ourselves to a high standard.”

Jake Calhoun is a senior in journalism from Urbandale, Iowa.

Baylor, it would be awesome to not only beat TCU but beat OU at our place.”

While the coaches come up with a strategy to defend the high-percentage shooting OU offense (14-2, 4-0 Big 12), Blaskowsky said she’s taking into account the amount of injuries with which their opponent is faced.

“We’re going to get to the point where we’re going to have more numbers than them, and they’re going to get tired faster,” Blaskowsky said. “So, we’re going to take advantage of that and take in what the scouting report says.”

The Cyclones tip off at home against the Oklahoma Sooners Tuesday night at 7 p.m.

Maddie Manning ‘coming home’ Freshman Maddie Manning was recruited out of Ankeny, Iowa, to Oklahoma, where she has started in three games and played in six overall.

Due to injury, Manning is not likely to see playing time in Ames on Tuesday, where ISU coach Bill Fennelly called it a ‘coming home’ game for her.

“I’m disappointed Maddie Manning can’t play,” Fennelly said. “And, I know she’s coming home...and it’s sad when a local kid can’t play and have her local fans watch her play. But, she’ll be a great player at Oklahoma.”

Photo: Blake Lanser/Iowa State Daily Percy Gibson seals off incoming defenders as Georges Niang decides whether to pump fake or go straight to the hoop. Niang, a versatile player, has the ability to score from within the paint, or behind the 3-point line.

>>NIANG.p6 “The first time someone in college blocked my shot,” Niang said with a laugh. “Maybe Melvin [Ejim].”

Hoiberg said Niang uses a high basketball IQ to make up for his lack of size and athleticism. That helped Niang find success against Kansas’ 7-foot center, Jeff Withey, last week.

In Iowa State’s first two conference games Niang has acted as a neutralizer as a big man with his ability to shoot from beyond the arc. He averaged 15.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game in his first week of Big 12 action.

“Even though we’re undersized at times, Georges creates a lot of mismatches,” said point guard Korie Lucious. “Him starting at [center] is going to be difficult for any 6-9, 6-10 slow guy to hold Georges. He can shoot the ball from the outside, he can drive right past them.”

As Hoiberg likes to say, Niang has simply been efficient.

Nearly halfway through the season with 16 conference games remaining, Niang leads the team with a 52.5 shooting percentage.

It took Niang only seven shots — along with eight free-throw attempts

— to score a game-high 18 points Saturday against Texas.

So what’s the secret?

“He’s crafty,” said guard Will Clyburn. “Throughout the whole summer, no one could really check him. If you’re small he’d go right over you, if you’re bigger he’s going around you.”

It didn’t take the team long to realize Niang would contribute immediately. “First open gym,” Clyburn said of when he knew.

Now the Big 12 is taking notice, too. After his first two games, Niang was named the Big 12 Rookie of the Week on Monday.

“For a freshman to come in and have an immediate impact is very difficult,” Hoiberg said. “You just don’t see it very often, especially at the high, major level.”

Hoiberg said the Cyclones are much better when Niang is on the court, but added that the freshman still has work to do on his body and a much higher ceiling.

Through 15 collegiate games, however, Niang has been valuable.

“He’s going to keep getting better,” Hoiberg said. “He’s going to continue to add things to his arsenal.”

>>IMPROVEMENTS.p1 in 1997 and explained how he wanted to implement some of the plan’s ideas.

In the plan’s portion on entries into the city, it states entries “should be well identified and designed in accentuating access to the major areas and activity centers.”

Parrish said he believed some travelers on I-35 may not have noticed Ames in the past because of the lackluster appearance of the city’s southeast entrance. Pat Brown, president of the South Ames Business Neighborhood, agreed, stating the southeast entrance into Ames was “not very inspiring.”

“I mean, it looks like nothing,” Brown said, describing the southeast entrance into Ames prior to the completion of the project. “Why would you even stop? There’s nothing to make it look like there is something there.”

Brown said a city’s entryway says a lot about residents’ pride in their city. Additionally, she said a city’s entrances should attract new businesses as well as shoppers to come to the city.

“People like to shop where people care about the place — what businesses look like, what the landscaping looks like,” Brown said. “It’s subtle. People aren’t aware of their positive reaction or why they are that way.”

Parrish also described how South 16th Street remained unpaved for several years, causing problems for the hotels on the street.

>>DEAN.p1 After the prior dean of engineering, Jonathan Wickert, was promoted to senior vice president and provost last spring, it was crucial to start the search promptly because “there were going to be open positions at other universities for deans of engineering [in the summer]. So, we wanted to start early,” Rico-Gutierrez noted.

After the opening was posted and predesired applicants were notified, the committee, as mentioned prior, saw over 150 applicants from across the country as well as internationally.

From this, the number was whittled down to 35 preliminary finalists. After further screenings and cuts, with the next magic numbers being eight and four, narrowing down the list would prove to be slightly more challenging.

“It was fairly difficult to get to eight, rather than, say, 12 or 15. Then, to get from those eight down to four was even more difficult. Everyone had to agree [that] this is someone who is qualified to do the job. If we don’t think they would be a good dean, it makes no sense,” Holger said.

Four final candidates were chosen following a series of face-to-face interviews as well as heavy scrutiny and analysis by the committee and the office of the provost.

After four were chosen, a series of open forums were held to introduce each candidate to the Iowa State community and to allow each respective candidate to lay out their visions for the college. Only three forums were held, however, as one candidate withdrew from consideration.

“It wasn’t unusual to have shuttles running to various hotels [on Southeast 16th Street,]” Parrish said. “It was just kind of dysfunctional the way the road wasn’t developed.”

Believing there was a need to improve the Southeast entryway, the South Ames Business Neighborhood approached the city council for assistance. At that time, Jeff Benson, an Ames city planner, became involved and told the group a consultant needed to be hired to make a plan for the area.

The South Ames Business Neighborhood paid for the design consultant, Dunbar-Jones PLC, to do a study to engage stakeholders and identify opportunities to improve the entryway.

Benson praised the involvement of the South Ames Business Neighborhood members, stating the project would not have happened without their help.

“The first thing that was remarkable was the property and business owners [in South Ames] started the whole planning process and asked the city to implement its plans in the area,” Benson said. “Secondly, that they were willing to pay for the initial design consultant, which was kind of unusual.”

Benson said the first phase of the project involved the planting of prairie plants and trees and the paving of Southeast 16th Street, which was completed and opened to the public in May 2008. Benson said by that time, the South Ames property owners had donated more than $50,000, and contractors had donated “several hundreds of thousands of dollars in labor and supplies” to the project.

In her respective forum, Rajala’s international experience as well as her strong emphasis on improving student education amongst other items impressed the search committee as well as those in the office of the provost, most who went on to make the final decision.

“We need to celebrate the cultures that are brought to campus and to engage our whole community in those celebrations of culture and diversity,” Rajala would mention in her open forum held on December 3rd.

Rico-Gutierrez would also note, “She’s extremely well known nationally and internationally; she’s been president or been on the boards of many major organizations in engineering, particularly internationally.”

This global vision for students here at home complements her international engineering experience, which includes heading the Global Engineering Deans Council.

“She also had very solid research credentials as a faculty member prior to her administrative roles,” Holger adds, which attributes to her aforementioned diverse resumé While the final three candidates would all have made for successful deans in the eyes of Holger and Rico-Gutierrez, it was Rajala’s multi-faceted accreditation and wide array of leadership roles within engineering and administration that triumphed.

Rajala is set to formally assume the position of dean April 1. She will visit Ames from Jan. 17-23.

“It became apparent after the initial pilot project that it was going to take a lot of money to do anything that would have an impact, and doing it in little pieces probably wouldn’t do,” Benson said. “So, we applied for a transportation enhancement grant from the Iowa DOT.” In February 2007, the Iowa Department of Transportation approved a $685,000 transportation enhancement grant for the Southeast Entryway project. Benson explained the grant helped pay for the light columns as well as prairie plants and trees.

“It gives a message that our community is a community that is forward thinking and is interested in technology and art but is also situated in a natural environment and values the natural environment it is in,” Benson said.

The light columns were designed by a team at RDG Planning and Design Dahlquist Art Studio. Artist David Dahlquist said he and the rest of the design team worked with Central Lighting and Equipment to design light columns with LED lights that could be programmed to change color.

The process to make Ames’ Southeast entrance more beautiful and functional has been a long one, especially to those who have been involved with the project since its inception. Those involved attributed the success of the project to the team’s determination.

“We stayed determined, followed our noses, stumbled around a bit… and about 12 or 13 years later, we got it done,” Parrish said about the light columns.

dence. Ten days after the alleged incident, the victim took the shirt to her mother’s house to be washed.

Boles had the shirt sent off to a Chesperene Cwiklik, a fabric analyst. After Cwiklik had run tests, the tests show the rip in the shirt had taken place after it had been washed, which was inconsistent with the victim’s story. Boles said he didn’t know Palo before the case but that the two had become friends and that Boles has nothing but the utmost respect for Palo.

“I’ve grown to really respect him,” Boles said. “He is a very mature young man. He’s really carried himself with a great deal of composure. Any time you’re a hometown kid in a place like Ames, Iowa, a lot of people are pulling for you, but a lot of people know your life.”

Palo was asked whether he doubted his name would ever be cleared or if he’d be reinstated.

“There were definitely days I was struggling; hope was wavering,” Palo said. “But, those were the days I’d lean on my family, or I would definitely lean on the Lord to renew my strength.”

Palo explained that it was one of the hardest things he’s had to go through, to sit on the sidelines and watch his team lose at Iowa and to lose a heartbreaking game to Kansas. But, he did say he learned watching fans rush into Hilton and fill the seats. He saw the support his team received as well as personal support. He then said he would bring a different level from here out.

“I’m going to bring it to an entirely different level as I have a new passion for basketball and a new passion for life... This made me really appreciate everything I’ve been given; the opportunities I’ve been blessed with, to fully take it in, to fully appreciate the support they have is going to be amazing.”
