Transformation of campus culture Staff review changes over past 50 years

By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com Fifty years ago, if students wanted to go to watch a basketball game, instead of crossing Lincoln Way to Hilton Coliseum, they would head the opposite direction, to the Armory.

This is just one of many ways Iowa State has transformed during the past 50 years.

Francis Laabs, an ISU employee since 1966, said he especially noticed the technological advances and campus expansion during his nearly 50 years at Iowa State.

Hired as a storekeeper with

ISU Printing and Copy Services in 1963, Gary Honeick has witnessed skyrocketing student enrollment, faculty additions and building relocation during his half-century stay at the university.

When Honeick arrived at Iowa State, basketball played in the Armory; the football team played near where State Gym is now; CyRide didn’t exist; nearly everybody went to the Memorial Union for a cafeteria style meal; and the Veterinary Medicine building was not so far away from Central Campus.

“Initially when I started on campus here, Vet Med was over in the Lago[marcino] complex,” Honeick said. “I remember going over there and watching them operate on horses. You had this big area around the surgery area

GPSS conference to showcase work of grad students Event to present research, forums on grant writing

By Michelle.Schoening @iowastatedaily.com For the first time in Iowa State’s history, a research conference will help graduate and professional students showcase their work.

The conference, planned by the Graduate and Professional Student Senate, is the first of its kind on campus. It would offer students a chance to receive feedback from their colleagues and professors.

The conference will also be an opportunity for undergraduates who have questions about graduate school to experience it first-hand.

The co-chairs leading the conference are Peter Huffman, graduate in materials science and engineering, and Vivek Lawana, a graduate in biomedical sciences; both are actively

involved in the GPSS. “We want to invite the graduate and professional students at ISU to present their research to each other, to foster collaboration but to know what everyone else is doing,” Huffman said.

The graduate and professional students will participate in either an oral presentation or a poster presentation of their current research.

The deciding factor of which presentations students will do will come down to the number of submissions the co-chairs receive. Huffman said the committee would like to see 100 speakers and 100 posters.

The conference will be a daylong event with various activities throughout.

“First will be the grant writing workshop,” Lawana said. “During graduate school, graduates have to go through some grant writing processes. It is a very basic thing that they would like to learn.”

[that’s] glassed in. It was pretty cool.”

When Honeick was first hired, the printing services was in Snedecor Hall, where the university computer was also housed. In 1968, it was moved to its current location north of campus near Ames Laboratory buildings.

In addition to building relocations, Honeick said one of the greatest changes in the university he has noticed is the technology usage.

“When I first started in 1963, [Snedecor Hall] was wall to wall computers. Computers took up rooms, floor to ceiling. And now [everything] is as big as your hand,” Honeick said. “It’s amazing how computers and desktops

International recruitment strives to attract, inform students about unique opportunities

By Katharina.Grunewald @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State has a record international student enrollment this year. Altogether 3,797 international students study at Iowa State. Of that number, 361 have enrolled as freshmen, the highest number in Iowa State history as well.

Many of them have heard of Iowa State through international recruitment. The ISU Office of Admissions employs two international recruiters who regularly go overseas basis to advertise Iowa State in other countries.

“Historically speaking we have always considered ourselves an international university,” said Patricia Parker, assistant director of Admissions Operations and Policy.

“We had pragmatic areas that were not offered overseas, and so [even before international recruitment] Iowa State had internationals who studied in fields like agriculture or mechanics.”

Parker said Iowa State was one of the first universities to start international recruitment. Students are interested in coming to the United States for a variety of reasons including competitive systems in their home countries or a lack of space in their universities.

Afifah Abdul-Rahim, international ambassador from Singapore and senior in animal science, described a similar situation in her country.

Caitlin Ellingson/Iowa State Daily

Shivani Garg, an international Ph.D. student in biology, and Dilok Phanchantraurai, international program director, work to help international students adjust.

“We do not have a vet program in Singapore,” Abdul-Rahim said.

“People who want to become vets have to venture abroad.”

In Asian countries like Singapore, Taiwan and Korea, demands of too many students often cannot be meet, so the Admissions Office concentrated on these territories at the beginning of international recruitment, Parker said. As markets around the world grew and declined, more territories were added.

“We focus on a lot of different territories today,” Parker said. “We try to ride the wave, and find it before anybody else does.”

Sometimes the students lead the recruiters to such new coun-

tries, Parker said. The past year the office added a trip to Africa for the first time. An increasing amount of inquires from Vietnamese students a couple of years ago caught the recruiters’ attention and persuaded them to start to visit Vietnam as well.

“But still you have to have your ear on the ground so to speak,” Parker said. “You have to do a lot of research and our recruiters have to talk to a lot of people in all the countries, people at embassies, at schools or even with fellow travelers to gain information.”

Recruiters will typically visit two to three schools during the day — if possible a national, an American and

By Delaney.Vierkandt @iowastatedaily.com Every year, students send out applications to employers hoping to land an internship to meet graduation requirements or just gain experience. There are many factors students consider when choosing an internship. One of those can be whether or not it is paid.

There are many benefits to being paid during an internship, giving students reasons to seek those paid internships, said Kim McDonough, program and internship coordinator in the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication.

“A lot of times, [students] have to pay transportation expenses and living expenses for completing an internship,” McDonough said. “So if an internship is paid, it helps them to defray the costs that go along with completing that internship experience.”

Students are more motivated to do well in their internships if they are paid because they treat the internship more like a job, McDonough said. But the benefits are not necessarily limited to the students applying for these internships. The employers could largely benefit from paying their interns.

“No. 1, the intern is going to be focused on completing that internship experience. The student isn’t going to have to look for another job,” McDonough said. “I think that the effort and the quality that they receive from their interns when they’re paid is a real advantage to them.”

Azwan Azhar /Iowa State Daily

Most students that see McDonough request a paid internship, but those are not always available.

Often, if a student wants a highly competitive internship, it might have to be completed on a unpaid basis. Some organizations do not offer paid internships.

“I know that there are a number of larger media outlets that simply don’t pay their interns over the summer,” McDonough said. “But the name recognition from the organization is sometimes enough to help the student get their foot in the door at a second organization or for entry-level employment.”

Internship coordinators at Iowa State strongly encourage employers to pay their interns.

One of these in-

terns was Ashley Moyna, junior in culinary science who interned at National Cattlemen’s Beef Association.

“I was very thankful NCBA provided me with a paid internship opportunity,” Moyna said. “The cost of living in Denver is more expensive than the cost of living in Iowa, so it was nice to have some income coming in. I loved my job at NCBA, so being paid was just a bonus.”

Many students in the Greenlee School end up having multiple offers by the summer semester.

Students are encouraged to start applying for internships early.

“Typically, we recommend that our students begin looking for internship experiences about a year in advance,” McDonough

said. “That’s not because they need to start applying a year in advance, but we want them doing research about the organizations where they truly want to complete their internship experiences.”

These students first start by applying with the organization. This leads to an interview if the organization or company is interested. After the interview is when the offers start to come.

“As long as the student is benefiting the organization in some way, I think they should be paid for their work,” Moyna said.

“Some students can’t pursue internships because they can’t ‘afford’ work experience, which puts them at a disadvantage when it comes time to find a job, which seems unfair to me.”

By Simone.Scruggs @iowastatedaily.com The search for a new vice president of research has begun.

The vice president for research is involved in the entire research enterprise, interdisciplinary research centers and institutes, and the ISU Research Foundation. The position also works with the offices of intellectual property and technology transfer, sponsored programs administration, responsible research and laboratory animal resources.

“We are looking for a full professor who should have some experience in working with external funding and funding agencies,” said Beate Schmittmann, leader of the search committee and dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

“They should also have administration and leadership history,” she said.

“He or she will be responsible for a staff and needs to be able to work with a wide range of audiences both internal and external.”

“Although not directly associated with undergraduate education, it is important because there are a lot of opportunities for undergraduates to do research and those opportunities mostly depend on there being a vibrant research committee on campus,” Holger said.

Holger also said Iowa State has done a good job in a wide spectrum of research that has ranged from very basic research to applied research and technology transfer.

The search for the vice president is being organized as an internal search among ISU faculty. The nominees must be a full-time professor. Applications may be submitted online with a cover letter, current curriculum and three references’ contact information.

Deadline for applications is Oct. 25, and the position will begin Jan. 1, 2014.

Nominations for the position are to be submitted to Schmittmann and Holger.

The position has been open since the previous vice president for research, Sharron Quisenberry, retired in July.

Jonathan Wickert, senior vice president and provost, has selected an 18-faculty member committee to assist in the selection of the new vice president of research.

The committee consists of nominated faculty members who are being guided by Schmittmann and Dave Holger, associate provost for academic programs and dean of the Graduate College.

“The vice president of research would be responsible for all research activities on campus,” Schmittmann said.

“He or she will be responsible for many of the big centers on campus.”

The vice president will also manage the pre-award and post-award services, including grant submission and administration, Schmittmann said.

“The search committee will screen the applicants and come up with a short list to interview the candidates and than make a recommendation to the provost [Wickert],” Schmittmann said.

Holger said he believes the position needs to be filled with the appropriate candidate.

Editorial

Responsible voting starts right now This week, the usual 22 or 23 month break we normally enjoy from thinking about national politics has been rudely interrupted.

As of midnight Tuesday, nonessential portions of the federal government of the United States were shut down. For those who have not been following the issue, this means about 800,000 federal employees across the nation have been furloughed — ordered to stop working — until a continuing resolution is passed for our national government budget.

For far too many individuals, the details of this fiasco will merely be a distant memory the next time election season rolls around. To be sure, though, when Iowans and others across the nation go to the polls in November next year, the government shutdown will be unearthed again and again, regardless of our recollection of the event.

It might therefore seem like there is no need to even be paying attention to the situation now. Whether or not you watch the news and read all about the goings-on today, you will be reminded next fall of what happened.

Unfortunately, when candidates remind their prospective constituents of events which unfolded more than a year ago, their memories can be selectively fuzzy at best.

It can be reasonably assumed that Republican candidates will blame Democrats for the shutdown and that Democrats will blame Republicans.

That will be nothing new, as it has been going on since before the shutdown even went into effect.

Accusations of “unwillingness to compromise” have been, and will be, leveled at both parties. What will be new will be the details specific candidates prefer to share.

For example, Democrats likely will not share the fact the Democratcontrolled Senate refused to meet with House Republicans immediately following the shutdown. Republicans will likely have similar selective amnesia regarding their party’s refusal to meet with Senate Democrats about budget negotiations in the months preceding the shutdown.

The only way to be a truly informed constituent and voter is to be following this kind of event when it is actually happening: now.

For those of us who will be living here in Ames next year, our elected officials in Washington are Republicans Rep. Steve King and Sen. Chuck Grassley, and Democrat Sen. Tom Harkin. Next November, King will be up for re-election along with a vacant seat to be left by the retiring Harkin.

King voted, along with most House republicans, for measures which tied government funding to the delay or defunding of certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Harkin and Grassley voted for and against, respectively, measures in the Senate that stripped government funding bills of the amendments which defunded or delayed the Affordable Care Act. Whatever your views on the government shutdown or Obamacare might be, as voters we should be aware of the choices our elected officials are making.

Whether you think King was correct in classifying a then-potential shutdown as “a political tantrum” on the part of President Barack Obama or you think the House Republicans like King are to blame for the current 800,000 federal employees off the job, the only way to be an effective voter next November is to actually understand the issue.

As a voter, you are responsible for knowing what does or doesn’t qualify a candidate. That means being active in or at least aware of your government all year long, not just the month before each election.

After all, a lot tends to happen in 23 months.

Because of a lack of compromise on the Affordable Care Act, a government shutdown causes a lot of finger point between political parties.

Shutdown: Who is really to blame?

I n explicating his shrill sounding Symphony No. 5 in D minor, the composer Dmitri Shostakovich said: “It’s as if someone were beating you with a stick and saying: ‘Your business is rejoicing, your business is rejoicing,’ and you rise, shaky, and go marching off, muttering: ‘Our business is rejoicing, our business is rejoicing.’”

Since the rise of the fringe group known as the tea party, old school Republicans have sure suffered a great deal of metaphorical stick beatings of their own. There was visible and widely publicized confusion and flurry as hushed Americans rushed to choose sides, especially on “Obamacare.” During all this, the accusatory calls of socialism impede good thought. Armies of pseudo-activists (by which I mean the worthless sign holders) have formed rank to cast President Barack Obama out as the pariah of America.

The most recent and deplorable antics involve the hostage taking of the government itself, the details of which must be heard (Hint: it involves Obamacare). What is irritating is the context under which the recent government shutdown has taken.

Why is everybody blaming the government “in general” on the shutdown? Is it because they, meaning all members of Congress, failed at a compromise? As with any use of the generality “they,” the wording here is important.

Americans grow weary of the typical beating around the bush and idle talk, so let’s see this straight: The government shutdown is entirely the fault of the GOP, namely the tea party. What is unfortunate for the good Republicans, such as Sen. John McCain, is their credibility is hast-

ily forgotten when we typecast the label “Republican.”

A predictable response would be: “But the GOP didn’t shut down the government; the Democrats did by failing to negotiate.”

In response to this, I’ll colloquially say: “B.S.” Setting up a fake middle ground is not coming to the table nor is it in the spirit of compromise. And what compromise is needed, anyway? The debt ceiling has been raised 74 times since 1962. Eighteen of these raises occurred under President Ronald Reagan, who, I might add, was unfettered by government shutdowns.

The sinking reality for the Right is that the Affordable Care Act is here to stay and, saliently, people like it. The empty and misinformed assertions against Obamacare have run their course. “But the actual bill was more than 2000 pages.”

Yeah, well, “War and Peace” is really long, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad book.

No matter how far the shrilling sounds, the public has snatched the stick from the aggressor’s hand and reelected the man who dared reform health care.

This most recent debacle counts as the latest in more than 40 House attempts to repeal the Obamacare. I can almost see the winded McCain at his desk, or what I imagine to be his desk, sighing as he tweets polling figures showing the overwhelming opposition to the House proposal to defund Obamacare. When will the tomfoolery end?

Much can be said of the hyperpolar-

ized political environment of which both parties are certainly victims. However, the tea party represents the worst forms of fear mongering and anxiety that spoil the tone in which we conduct our conversations. Seldom will you find adults behave so selfishly and so childishly in any other facet of life. This latest showing merely reveals them as the opportunists they truly are.

Nonetheless, re-election politics requires a villain for the purposes of both contrast and drama. In this scenario, the Democrats are the villains and the Obamacare is the bomb that requires defusing. After all, simple-minded voters throw faith into the arms of the “heroes” and “defenders” of liberty, for which I do not blame them. This is political racketeering at its finest.

There was a time not too long ago when Congress could actually pass bills, such as voting to raise a debt ceiling. The 111th Congress was the most productive Congress since the 1960s. What has happened since? Unsurprisingly, the 112th Congress, dominated by the yea party, was the least productive.

Numerous GOP representatives have called out in sycophantic fashion for the Senate to “listen to the American people” and defund Obamacare. Prudence would unclog deaf ears to the wisdom of their senior Republicans.

Despite what my own representative thinks, I like Obamacare, for more reasons than that I think the name will make a fine mark in history. Despite its shortcomings (single-payer would have been nice), I join with many Americans with arms folded, sassily remarking: “Its about time.”

Hit the gym, eat right to avoid freshman 15

By Katie.Titus @iowastatedaily.com

C

ollege students everywhere dread those unwanted 15 pounds we are “destined” to gain as freshmen. We are in a new place with many different cafes and dining centers. When Mom isn’t here to tell us we cannot eat something, it’s easier to overeat.

In many cases students are lucky if they only gain the “freshman 15.” The average weight gain for college students has risen and mostly happens in the first semester.

Iowa State has options for students to stay fit and healthy, but does everyone know what they are?

Obviously the two gyms on campus, State Gym and Lied Recreation Athletic Center are no secret. Many people go every day to run on the track or to lift weights. However, as yet another result of record enrollment on campus, students are not always getting the machines they want to use to work out. There is still hope. Both gyms offer workout classes such as kickboxing, cycling, and the ever popular Zumba.

The fitness classes give students many different options for working out.

If you have too many classes and cannot handle having one more instructor during the day, doing intramurals with your friends might be for you.

Iowa State offers a variety of different sports to play with a

group of friends to get moving around. Joining athletic clubs is also an option. There is everything from the rock climbing club to the running club to keep you active on campus.

Finding your niche on campus is up to you.

Students in greek life may feel they are too busy to make it to the gym every day. Simple activities such as Yell Like Hell and Lipsync are very active and can help greek students stay in shape. Working out doesn’t all have to be done in a workout setting. Dancing with your friends to practice for Yell Like Hell and being active even for a of couple hours per week can, over time, help you stay in better shape.

If you’re not greek, or maybe don’t want to be with anyone at all while working out, there are options for you as well.

There are workouts that you can do right at home.

Taking the stairs to your dorm on the 10th floor rather than taking the elevator can turn out to be a great workout. Doing sit-ups during the commercials on your favorite show helps you stay in shape without even leaving your dorm room or apartment. Getting together with friends and watching a movie and doing a sit-up every time the main characters name is said can give you a sure fire workout in the first half hour. Options for exercise are everywhere, but there is more to staying healthy on campus than just working out.

Making healthy decisions

Iowa State Daily

It is important for students to remember the importance of fitness while in college. By maintaining a healthy diet and working out on a regular basis, students can avoid the initial weight gain freshman year.

at the dining centers is an important part of staying healthy.

There are a multitude of different options at the dining center for students, but just because you put a piece of lettuce on a cheeseburger doesn’t make it healthy. Fruits and vegetables are an important part of a balanced diet, and they are an easy part to forget in the busy college lifestyle. Making a healthier choice in the dining center will help your body have energy for going to the gym later. The next time you’re in the dining center put down the brownie and pick up the broccoli.

Remembering that a healthy diet and your gym sweats are your friends can help you stay in shape, or even lose weight throughout your college years. Maintaining a healthy diet also consists of something most college

students do not get enough of — sleep. In college, not getting your eight hours is no crime.

In most cases the average college student gets only six hours of sleep a night. However busy you may be, maintaining a normal sleep schedule is important to leading a healthy lifestyle.

Whether working out at home or in the gym, staying active is important to good health as a student. When the weather is nice, trying to walk to more classes can help you stay in better shape. The next time you’re reaching for that midnight latte, go for tea or water instead. These options can give you the energy you need without the extra calories you don’t need.

Overall, taking advantage of the healthier options in our university will help you succeed as a student.

Swimmers, divers set lofty goals, high hopes

Showdown at SUNDOWN

By Chris.Wolff @iowastatedaily.com

W

hen Jeff Woody finally returned to the field in 2010 to capture the historic memory with his cell phone, the scoreboard was blank.

Iowa State had defeated No. 22 Texas for the first time in school history, and after a locker room celebration Woody headed back to the field in Austin, Texas, to take a look at the scoreboard.

He found nothing; the 28-21 score had been cleared away.

“It’s something that was never done in the history of the school before,” Woody said. “I don’t know if you’ve ever had the opportunity to make 100,000 people deliberately angry. It’s actually something that’s kind of fun to do.”

That 2010 victory remains the Cyclones’ (1-2) lone win against the Longhorns (2-2) in ISU history. The two teams will meet Thursday night in a nationally broadcast TV matchup.

Texas enters the primetime game at Jack Trice Stadium in turmoil, having replaced its defensive coordinator after week two and with questions at quarterback. The Longhorns will start senior Case McCoy behind center with junior David Ash sidelined due to concussion-related symptoms.

Even with a slow start by the Longhorns, who were picked to finish fourth in the Big 12 in the conference’s preseason poll, ISU coach Paul Rhoads knows the danger they present.

“They’re a very talented football team,” Rhoads said.

“They’re fast, they’re big, they’re strong — they’re Texas. They might have woken up a little bit, if you will.

“They’re probably hitting stride right now, and with 12 days of preparation, they’re very a scary outfit for us to prepare and play.”

Texas bounced back from two big losses against BYU and Ole Miss with a Big 12-opening victory against Kansas State on Sept. 21. Iowa State used a victory against Tulsa last week to rebound after starting the season 0-2.

In the victory against Tulsa, ISU running back Aaron Wimberly emerged as a weapon, with 137 yards on 19 carries.

Rhoads sees the emergence of various players in the team’s first three games moving the Cyclones forward.

“With the tight end being

we’ve become a little bit more dangerous,” Rhoads said.

The Cyclones have lost 10 consecutive Big 12 openers,

and while Woody knows some of the skepticism regarding the team might be deserved, he also knows what one victory could do with a full conference schedule remaining.

“Whether you’re a team that loses every game every year or whether you’re Ohio State, if you lose the first two games, there’s going to be some doubt going forward,” Woody said. “Winning this game brings us back to .500, gets us a solid win against a good team and it gets us 1-0 in the Big 12.

“Anyway you slice that, it’s a good start to a season.”

The Cyclones play Texas at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 3 at Jack Trice.

Christofferson takes reins of new-look team

By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com Before Hallie Christofferson stepped into the Sukup Basketball Complex on Wednesday to be surrounded by microphones, cameras and media begging to hear about her senior campaign, she was making national headlines.

The 6-foot-3-inch senior forward was named to the preseason All-Big 12 first team, an honor limited to the projected top five players in the Big 12. League coaches voted her and four others to the team earlier Wednesday afternoon.

So when coach Bill Fennelly took the microphone to start fielding questions, it was no surprise to hear Christofferson’s name mentioned early and often.

“I think she is maybe one of the best players in the country that people don’t know about,” Fennelly said of Christofferson. “She’s the face of our team this year, and she’ll be the senior that plays the most.”

The Hamilton, Iowa, native is coming off a junior season where she picked up First Team All-Big 12 honors and led the Cyclones in scoring and every shooting percentage statistic.

Christofferson made the transition from small town high school basketball to Division I collegiate hoops look easy, and she isn’t letting off the gas pedal in her final season as a Cyclone.

“It’s quite an honor knowing that you come from such a small [town] and now you’re here at Iowa State,” Christofferson said of her journey. “But you still have to play each season to the fullest. You can’t just rely on the fact you are preseason Big 12 and then not go do your job on the floor.”

For the first time in four seasons, Chelsea Poppens and Anna Prins will not be suiting up for the Cyclones after being drafted in the WNBA draft last spring.

The front court duo averaged 25.7 points

per game and 15.0 rebounds for the Cyclones last season. Fennelly said more than anything, the leadership and hustle plays made by the former Cyclones will be missed the most.

However, the incoming freshman class can be cause for some relief, as Iowa high school basketball star and top-50 national recruit Jadda Buckley offers big-play ability. The 5-foot8-inch guard is a 3-point shooting specialist and averaged 14.0 points per game her senior season of high school in Mason City, Iowa.

She is joined by guards Seanna Johnson and Lexi Albrecht, along with forward Jordan Jensen for the 2013 recruiting class.

Fennelly expects all of the freshmen to see the court this season.

The loss of Poppens and Prins makes for a much smaller team in body size, and Fennelly said the team will have to adjust it’s game plan to work around guard play this season. With a young, fast backcourt and a new look frontcourt, Christofferson knows her role will probably change from last season.

“We have all those smaller guards that can man the perimeter, so you will be seeing me more on the inside,” Christofferson said. “I’ve been a post player all my life, but last year when I stepped out on the perimeter more, I kind of weened away from the post moves. I think I’m really going to have to buckle down when I’m in the post just because I kind of have that perimeter guard mindset from last year.”

Although she is known as a quiet person, Fennelly joked Christofferson would score more points than words she said by the time she graduates. If that is the case, Fennelly doesn’t seem concerned about her leadership capabilities.

“It’s going to start with No. 5, this team will be built around her,” Fennelly said of Christofferson. “It’s a fun thing to do because she accepts that challenge, and she’s good enough to handle it.”

Hayley Hochstetler/Iowa State Daily

Hallie Christofferson shoots layups for the ISU women’s basketball media day Wednesday at the Sukup Basketball Complex.

The ISU swimming and diving team will start off its season with the annual Intra Squad meet Friday.

Most teams start seasons with high hopes and expectations, but this year’s team is taking it to a whole new level.

“I think we are looking towards having the best season Iowa State’s ever had,” said senior Alex Gustafson, team captain Gustafson on this year’s squad.

In order to accomplish this goal, the team had to revamp its summer training proSorenson gram. Iowa State began following a new weightlifting regimen to increase its strength and agility, and had two-aday practices throughout the summer in preparation for the season.

Last season, Iowa State was in the top half of the Big 12 rankings until the last few events on the very last day of competition.

The Cyclones simply didn’t have enough individuals competing in the finals of their respective events, and the team finished outside of the top half of the conference.

This season, ISU coach Duane Sorenson wants to be in a position to remain in the top half of the conference on that final day.

“We want everybody to go out and swim lifetime bests,” Sorenson said. “If we do that a lot of our team goals will take care of themselves.”

The team returns a host of Big 12 All-Conference winners and school record holders to pace the team.

Senior Imelda Wistey, owns the school record in 200 breaststroke and has the second fastest 100 breaststroke in school history as well.

Junior Bre Loeschke, was an All-Big 12 performer in both the 100 and 200 backstrokes and senior captain Emily Wiltsie, owns the school record in the 200 breaststroke.

Also returning is junior Amanda Paulson, who holds the school record in the 50 freestyle and has seven of the top 20 times at that distance in school history.

Paulson was also selected as the team’s most valuable swimmer in both her freshman and sophomore seasons and will look to break her own record in the 50 freestyle as well as continue to improve in the 100 freestyle.

“We’re hoping they all go out and break their own records again this season,” Sorenson said.

In diving, the team returns sophomore Elyse Brouillette, who was selected as the team’s most valuable diver and was the only diver to qualify for the NCAA Zone Diving last season.

As a freshman, she qualified in the 1-meter, 3-meter, and platform, and also etched her name into the record books in each event, with the fifth, fourth and fourth, best performances in school history in each event, respectively.

She was an All-Big 12 performer in both the 1-meter and platform dives.

Joining Brouillette on the diving team is two time captain senior Jessica Henderson, who qualified for NCAA Zones as a sophomore, and freshman diver Julie Dickinson.

Brouillette said the team’s diving goals are simple.

“I would really love to see all 3 of us divers make it to [NCAA] Zones this year,” Brouillette said.

The Intra-Squad meet is at 6 p.m. Oct. 11 in Beyer Hall.

Aaron Carter launches tour, new career

By Michael.Zanten @iowastatedaily.com Pop singer Aaron Carter will be performing two shows Friday at the Maintenance Shop as part of his comeback tour following an eight-year hiatus.

Tickets went on sale for both performances on April 2 and were sold out by June 3.

Carter began a successful music career at the age of 7. His family was no stranger to the business: His brother Nick Carter joined the Backstreet Boys at age 13. Aaron had led a local band for two years but left to pursue pop over alternative music.

At 9 years old, Carter opened for a Backstreet Boys show singing a cover of The Jets’ “Crush On You.” That performance earned young Aaron a record contract and subsequently a life of fame.

Between the years of 1997 and 2005, Carter released four studio albums and rose to mainstream awareness under his parents’ guidance. He was especially popular among the young teen audiences, being featured on Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. “[Looking back], I’m very satisfied having my childhood in the spotlight,” Carter said. “It was great, and I’m very thankful to my mom for helping me and getting me into music.”

The young idol went triple platinum at the age of 12 with his second album, “Aaron’s Party (Come Get It).” The CD spawned three hit singles, including “I Want Candy,” “That’s How I Beat Shaq” and the title track.

Carter has found success on screen as well. He has appeared on episodes of “7th Heaven” in 2004, and was a contestant on “Dancing With the Stars” in 2009.

Spending some time on Broadway, Carter played Jojo the Who in “Seussical the Musical” at age 13.

Since 2011, Aaron has made in more than 400 appearances as the central character in “The Fantasticks,” the world’s longest running musical. “[Broadway] was incredible, absolutely incredible,” Carter said. “I can say I toughed it out and am someone who understands discipline.”

Aaron Carter’s musical career began to slow down when his parents got into a legal conflict with his former manager over royalties in 2003.

The Carters have a history with substance abuse.

Nick Carter admitted addictions to cocaine and alcohol, citing his parents as influence.

Aaron’s sister Leslie overdosed on Xanax last year, and Aaron has openly discussed going to rehab for

Singer Aaron Carter is to perform two shows this Friday in the M-Shop. After an eight-year hiatus, Carter hopes to ease back in to the music scene. “The plan is to have the tour, to reconnect with all my fans and then to re-release music,” Carter said.

the same drug.

The After Party Tour, titled after his second album, is Carter’s return to music after an eight-year absence.

“It’s not that I didn’t want a tour,” said Carter. “It just took me a while to show the whole world that I was back on track.”

As an attempt to restart his own career, Carter has a new album scheduled for next year.

“The plan is to have the tour, to reconnect with all my fans, and then to release music,” Carter said.

Over the course of the tour, Aaron has preferred to play in smaller venues across the country.

“It’s important that I reconnect with everybody,” Carter said. “I want to play in smaller venues and sell those out and graduate to bigger ones on my next tour.”

Samuel Thompson, codirector of the M-Shop, has observed the excited anticipation of Carter’s original fan base.

“The generation currently in college is the

same generation that grew up loving Aaron Carter,” Thompson said. “We’ve had several people tell us that they have seen Aaron Carter live before. Of course, they were in middle school and went along with their parents. Everyone is excited and curious about how this nostalgic show will play out.”

Those that were prompt to purchase tickets can look forward to a dynamic and authentic performance from Aaron.

“You can expect it to be

very genuine,” Carter said.

“I’ll take some songs from my past and make them new and funky. I’ll have some great musicians behind me, and it will be an energy filled show.”

Those who have tickets will be seeing Carter at 8 or 10 p.m. on Friday in the M-Shop.

Vinyl records find Inkblot brings color to Campustown modern market

By Kelsey.Johnson @iowastatedaily.com

By Amanda.Meyer @iowastatedaily.com Vinyl records made their first appearance in the marketplace in the mid-20th century, and soon became household items. Now, in 2013, vinyl records have made a massive comeback.

Vinyl record sales have increased by 17.7 percent since 2011, and by 745 percent since 2008, according to Mashable.

Several circumstances have contributed to this increase in the vinyl record sales, including a shift in pop culture.

Connor Keenan, freshman in pre-business, believes the drastic increase in vinyl sales can be explained by the trends of today’s modern audiences and their taste in music.

“One word: Hipsters,” Keenan said. “The vinyl record industry wouldn’t exist today without them.”

Businesses have noticed this increase in demand, and many are taking advantage.

Mall stores such as Hot Topic and F.Y.E. are retailers of vinyl records, particularly those released by current artists and bands.

These artists have also noticed the new mass interest in vinyl records, and many have started releasing vinyl records as well as digital copies of their albums and CDs. Ames has its very own vinyl retailer, the Vinyl Cafe, located in an underground basement on Kellogg Avenue.

The cafe, which opened its doors in 2010, features vintage vinyl records, 45s, LPs, cassette tapes and some CDs. The Vinyl Cafe also sells an array of coffee and other hot beverages as well as local jewelry and artwork.

Natalie Knudson, an employee at the Vinyl Cafe, has a great appreciation for vinyl records.

Knudson explains that as new technology such as iPods and MP3s have become more available, our generation has become more fascinated and interested in older forms of technology.

Knudson said she enjoys vinyl records because they’re a fun thing to collect and because of their more attractive cover art. .

“I think that vinyls are going to continue selling at a good steady rate or increase,” Knudson said. “Modern artists are starting to come out with vinyl copies, and that’s helping the industry a lot. It’s making vinyls a lot more well known.”

Vinyl records have become more of a decorative piece rather than just listening tools like they have been in the more recent years. Many people will display a vinyl record or two in their dorm room, acting as a visual for a favorite musician.

The Vinyl Cafe in Ames is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Mondays and Wednesdays through Fridays, and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Ames can now add another tattoo shop to its list of businesses, with Inkblot.

Inkblot, a new shop on Main Street, had its grand opening on Aug. 24.

The shop is much different than other shops in Ames for a few reasons. Walk-ins are not common for the studio because there is a $100 chop minimum and an $80 hourly rate.

The shop often produces larger tattoo pieces.

It’s a wide open studio that is mostly white and has a large hand painted mural of a skull in the window corner.

The shop is opened up to the public for musical performances.

Inkblot was a venue for a few of the many bands that performed this weekend in the Maximum Ames Music Festival.

The most unique quality of the shop is that it’s a one man show.

Daniel Rainey Forrester, originally from Memphis, Tenn., runs everything at Inkblot. He has had quite the adventure while becoming the tattoo artist he is today.

He moved to Iowa for a girl years ago, but chose to pursue tattooing. He first started working here in Iowa at Jaded Angel as a piercer. From there he went

on to work at Lasting Impressions and Sacred Skin in Des Moines.

Forrester ventured to the East Coast in hopes of chasing his dream of becoming a skilled artist. He worked in Harrisburg, Penn. In a little less than a year, he decided he did not like the environment and that he wanted to try the West Coast. Forrester moved to Mountain View, Calif., and worked under Paco Dietz.

“Honestly if I had to say any body taught me how to tattoo, it would be Paco Dietz,” Forrester said. “There’s no such thing as talent, there’s only skill, and skill is something that you learn how to do.”

Forrester’s mentality on art shows why he has come a long way in the profession. Forrester said Dietz had the most influence on his work and pushed him to progress his artwork.

Forrester always seems to end up back in Iowa and claims Ames as his home base. He has spent the majority of his adult life here and has turned it into his new home where he has the most connections.

His favorite part about Ames is the littlebig town atmosphere.

He said it is artsy enough and still holds humble people.

“The perfect demographic would be like an associate profes-

quite a bit and is planning on going back to California next month to give and receive tattoos. He will be working a guest spot at Current Tattooing in San Jose to work on some of his “regulars” and will be getting his own sleeve worked on as well. He plans on being back at the end of October to open his shop back up and get going on some new ink.

>>HISTORY p1 have changed.”

Laabs initially joined Ames Laboratory to do research with electrochemistry toward the end of the Manhattan Project and has dealt with technological shifts firsthand.

“When I started, there were two levels of computers: personal levels and [the ones] that we used in the lab,” Laabs said.

Laabs worked with the centralized computing in Snedecor Hall where the process for a batch was a multi-step and multi-day process.

“For complex jobs, it would probably take about a week,” Laabs said.

“Now, you could probably do the same thing in a few hours.”

Ames Lab started as a U.S. Department of Energy lab doing materials research and development for the end of the Manhattan Project. Back when Laabs joined, the lab was under high security.

“We were looking at uranium, nuclear fuel [and] containment vessels,” Laabs said. “We had armed guards at the door, photo nametags to check in and security clearance.”

Laabs said the shift for the lab performing more

diverse research projects was due to Congress waiting until the last minute to get a fiscal year budget completed.

Having 10 percent of its budget cut, the lab was forced to cut 30 percent of the staff and find additional funding from multiple sources, instead of solely the Department of Energy. Since then, the lab has become multipurpose in different areas, Laabs said.

“It’s sort of exciting because we get to work on all sorts of stuff,” Laabs said.

Another change Honeick and Laabs said they have noticed is the culture of how people dine. When both started, the Memorial Union was the main place to eat with a cafeteria-style buffet.

Laabs said surroundings used to be quieter.

“I like the old system better,” Laabs said. “It was a quiet place where I could go over and read.

That’s probably why they changed it. It was probably too quiet.”

Both Laabs and Honeick said a significant change they’ve noticed, in addition to technology, is student enrollment.

“In 1963, there were [11,517] students,”

>>GPSS p1 Along with the grant writing workshops, presentations and award ceremonies for the best presenters, undergraduates are encouraged to attend the graduate-undergraduate panel.

“We will have a graduate panel of six to seven graduates which will be talking to undergraduates about questions regarding graduate school, courses, life and professors,” Lawana said. “That is the way [undergraduates] will get

History

■■ From 1950-54, WOI-TV was the only station to broadcast a regular schedule of television programs to Iowa.

■■ Gary Honeick was hired at ISU Printing and Copy Services in 1963, when student enrollment was 11,517.

■■ With WOI, Iowa State was one of the first educational institutions to incorporate collegelevel courses to broadcast.

■■ Francis Laabs joined Ames Laboratory as a researcher in 1966, when enrollment was 15,183.

■■ In 1993, the station was sold to Capital Cities Communications Inc.

When Honeick and Laabs first started: ■■ The Memorial Union was the main cafeteria and the lunch hot spot.

According to ISU athletic department’s website:

■■ The university computer was in Snedecor Hall

■■ Hilton Coliseum, at a cost of $8.15 million, opened Dec. 2, 1971, to 14,510 fans attending a men’s basketball game.

The Cyclones defeated Arizona 71-54.

■■ The Communications Building was home to WOI-TV, the first television station owned and operated by an institution of higher education in the United States.

■■ The football stadium had its first game Sept. 20, 1975.

It originally went by the name of Cyclone Stadium.

It wasn’t until 1997 that the complex was renamed after ISU legend Jack Trice.

Honeick said. “There was a big boom in the mid‘70s with the Vietnam War. To avoid the draft, many guys stared enrolling in school.”

Laabs said he has noticed an increase in international students as well.

“When I first started, you’d see one or two non-

Iowan people,” Laabs said.

The increased number of students also brought different fashion fads through the years.

“People pay now to get pants with holes in them. … I used to throw them away,” Laabs said. “I didn’t realize I was sitting on a gold mine.”

■■ Basketball was played at the Armory ■■ Football was played near where State Gym is now

Conference

exposed to graduate research and meet all the graduate students from ISU.” Since this will be the first conference of its kind at Iowa State, Huffman and Lawana do not have a goal of participants to shoot for this year. Although, the response to the event has been good and Huffman has heard from at least 200 students who expressed interest in the conference.

With fundraising, the conference is expected to be free of charge for participating students.

Although student enrollment has continuously increased, a CyRide system has been implemented and buildings have constantly been built, both Laabs and Honeick emphasized two elements of Iowa State have remained the same: Central Campus and the positivity of students.

“Central Campus has been very stable,” Laabs said. “It’s unique. It’s special. We don’t want to see it cluttered up. None of us do, students, faculty, staff.

In today’s world, a space like that is precious.”

Laabs said the reason he has stayed around Iowa State so long is because of the people he works with and the positivity in the student body. “[Students] are one of the reasons I continue to refuse to quit. I love working here because I like the people,” Laabs said.

“Students are so positive.”

Honeick said he has enjoyed his time at Iowa State, but plans to retire in September 2014, totaling 51 years employed at the university.

“It’s a great place to work,” Honeick said. “It’s been fun. With all the students around, it kind of keeps me thinking young.”

For more information about the conference or how to get involved in organizing the conference, contact Peter Huffman, phuffman@iastate.edu, or Vivek Lawana, vjlawana@iastate.edu.

“Part of what we are doing with all the fundraising, especially with going to all the colleges, is to make sure it is free to everyone that wants to participate,” Huffman said.

The selection and submis-

est Ames since 1955 In W

sion process is to be discussed at a committee meeting in the near future. So it is unclear how the submissions will be selected and how the research will be judged by the professors.

Lawana said participants should analyze the research they are presenting and present in a way that the general public can understand.

The conference will be April 4, 2014. A schedule of speakers and workshops will be released early next semester.

>>RECRUITMENT p1 an international school.

“In the evening they will be at a college fair to talk to more students and their parents and to send them links and brochures that would interest them,” Parker said. “The students and parents especially like this because they can talk to an actual staff member in person.”

Raghul Ethiraj, international ambassador from India and sophomore in aerospace engineering, said he agrees.

“It really helped me to talk to [the recruiters],” Ethiraj said. “Ann Gogerty, one of the two recruiters, gave me a complete break down on how much studying at Iowa State is going to cost, how you can afford that, how much you can work and what they will pay you. I really liked that I could make sure that Iowa State was worth it.”

Interviews can be scheduled as well. Students and parents are attracted to that because they can talk to a real person and the recruiters can, through conversation, identify if a student would be a good fit for Iowa State, Parker said.

Characteristics such as independence, a will to engage and an academic performance above average are considered crucial for international students.

“Generally students who come here are serious about their education,” Parker said. “They are looking for a place where they can concentrate, engage and see the real America.”

Both Ethiraj and Abdul-Rahim said they enjoy Iowa State.

“I feel such an attachment to the school, and I do all I can to give that back,” Abdul-Rahim said.
