Rock ‘n’ roll superstar performs at Hilton

By Dominic.Spizzirri @iowastatedaily.com “Fired up! Ready to go!” the crowd chanted anxiously, and the coliseum filled with noise, devotion and love as rock ‘n’ roll icon Bruce Springsteen took the stage at Hilton Coliseum

to perform his songs for President Barack Obama’s campaign.

Obama for America’s week-long event, known as Campus Takeover, featured Springsteen in Parma, Ohio and in Ames. The event, funded

by Obama for America, featured Springsteen, the ISU Jazz Combo, and speeches by Sue Dvorsky and Kaylee Weber.

The doors opened at 1 p.m. to what began as a small audience, tak-

ing their seats in the front. Within an hour, the stadium filled with fans and Obama supporters.

ISU students Tim Marquis, Gene Poletto, Wesley Rondinelli and Kevin Smalley all came early to the event, wearing headbands like Springsteen would. The students described the event as “once in a lifetime” and worth skipping class for.

Many attendees of the rally, though, seemed to not be interested

in the political aspect of the show, but rather Springsteen himself.

Sean Salzer, junior in mechanical engineering, and Chris Vierck, sophomore in animal science, both said they “came for the music,” with Vierck saying he “doesn’t want to sit through the political side.”

John Olsen, another Springsteen fan, was more interested in the politi-

Two-thirds of 2011 college grads in debt Approximately 66 percent of 2011 college graduates finished school with debt and the national average debt was $26,600, according to the “Student Debt and the Class of 2011” report released Thursday by The Project on Student Debt. In 2011, the unemployment rate among college graduates was 8.8 percent, making paying back loans difficult.

Income-based repayment programs can help with this issue and have been available since 2009. State budget cuts have led to tuition increases and borrowing more money. Need-based grants increased over this time.

Seventy-two percent of 2011 graduates in Iowa had debt, averaging $28,753, according to The Project on Student Debt.

ISU students graduated with more debt than University of Iowa or University of Northern Iowa graduates.

The ISU Office of Student Financial Aid offers an expenses estimator so students may calculate their university expenses and borrow needs, as well as a repayment calculator so students may estimate their loan repayment amount.

A rainy day did not delay an important information session held Thursday in 207 Marston Hall. ISU faculty from across the disciplinary spectrum sat in attendance to learn and share ideas regarding President Steven Leath’s recently proposed Presidential Initiative for Interdisciplinary Research.

Tahira Hira, senior policy adviser to the Office of the President, led the discussion along with a panel of four university administrators: Jonathan Wickert, senior vice-president and provost; Miles Lackey, associate vice-president to the Office of the President; Sharron Quisenberry, vice-president for research and economic development; and James Reecy, director of the Office of Biotechnology and professor of animal science.

The first half of the session outlined the request for proposals. These proposals are aimed at securing multi-million dollar contracts and grants for the university. To do this, the initiative encourages faculty from every discipline to form winning research teams. “[This initiative] is intended to challenge faculty to put together winning teams,” Wickert said. “[We want] the best thought leaders on these research teams.”

Wickert explained resources included in the initiative are intended to be for pursuit funding. This funding is an investment in the faculty to put together teams which will work together to secure winning contract

GSB will vote on Knight’s bylaw veto next week

By Charles.O’Brien and Lissandra.Villa @iowastatedaily.com During the Government of the Student Body senate meeting Wednesday, a motion was called to

override the veto by President Jared Knight, senior in political science, of the Executive Initiative Account’s bylaw change. The motion failed 7-27-0.

This bylaw change to the Executive Initiative Account, which placed restrictions on how the presi-

dent of GSB can spend the account money, was passed during the senate meeting Oct. 10.

The account originally received attention from the senate when Finance Director Arjay Vander Velden, senior in computer engineer-

ing, pointed out that some of the purchases made with the account might not have been audit compliant.

The purchases that had been made included drywall to create a

Knight has since reimbursed the account for the art and pizza expenses.

Not all senators agreed that this was an appropriate use of the funds, which is how the bylaw change bill came about.

This bylaw change originally failed. After Vander Velden expressed concern on Oct. 10, that without stricter restrictions, the university auditing process could find the account not in audit compliance.

The senate passed the bylaw change with the intention of returning to the issue the next week.

There are generalities for what audit compliance for a university account includes: segregation of duties, documentation of expenditures and following of bylaw procedures.

The current form of meningitis is fungal. Fungal meningitis is when fungal organisms invade the the fluid surrounding the spinal cord and brain, or the brain’s blood vessels.

This outbreak of fungal meningitis is caused by a steroid injection of a potentially contaminated product, given in the back, knee, shoulder or ankle. The steroid injection was an injection of methylprednisolone acetate.

“As a health care provider one of the first questions that you have … is ‘How did it get contaminated?’ You want to know why,” said Tammy ParisWalker, staff registered nurse at Thielen Student Health Center.

The steroid injection was produced and sent out by the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass.

These injections were recalled

is, however, has not been easily determined.

“That we haven’t gotten clear answers on what will make the account audit compliant [makes things difficult],” said Sen. Daniel Rediske, a member of the Finance Committee and senior in computer science.

“I’ve never seen a list. And that is a huge problem when you’re trying to make something comply, but you don’t know what the requirements are; so, you just do things.”

Rediske was referring to the Oct. 10 bylaw change before the senate met Wednesday.

On Monday, Knight vetoed the bylaw change on the premise that he believed bylaw changes should not be passed as temporary solutions and that the account was already audit compliant.

During the senate’s Wednesday meeting, the Executive Initiative Account arose several times before its first read.

Sen. Lucas Gray attempted twice to call a motion to override Knight’s veto prior to the revised bylaw change bill.

When his motion was

carried, it failed by a vote of 7-27-0, which meant that the account stood as it was before the senate met the previous Wednesday.

“I think a lot of senators were hung up on more of what they wanted and not what students wanted.

“A lot of my constituents talked to me; we got e-mails, and nobody acknowledged that. Nobody seemed to care what their constituents thought,” Gray said.

Members of the Rules and Finance Committees stated that the newly revised bylaw change was a compromise between the committees and Knight.

“On Monday, we were able to discuss the bill between the Rules and Finance Committees and President

Sept. 26. However, since this is an injection, once patients have received the steroid, the fungal meningitis may already be in their body.

The best thing to do is to watch out for the symptoms of meningitis: fever; headache; chills; very severe, stiff neck pain and problems similar to those of a stroke. Symptoms may appear one to four weeks after the injection was received.

“One of the questions that [a student patient] will always be asked by the nurses is ‘Can you tip your head down to your chest?’ and ‘Does that increase any pain?’” Knowles said.

Fungal meningitis is not contagious. The people contracting this illness are the people who received the steroid injection from New England Compounding Center.

“We were glad that it was fungal, because right away we know the risk of spreading is virtually nil. It’s not going to be contagious from person to person, so that is a huge relief from a public health standpoint,” Knowles said.

Treatment for fungal meningitis includes two drugs, one called amphotericin B and the other is voriconazole.

Some patients will fully recover, but others may have lasting mental or physical problems relating to a stroke or issues with antifungal medications. The student health center at Iowa State feels that they are in a supportive role.

There have not been any cases of fungal meningitis reported in Iowa.

“We’re in more of a supportive role with public health because we don’t do the procedures, but should something like that happen and we have Ames’ community population affected, then we would certainly jump in and help Story County Public Health with the response. Right now we don’t have anything directly that we can do, but we would certainly help them in any way possible,” Knowles said.

The student health center stresses that for students on campus, this issue should not raise immediate alarm.

“It’s not a huge concern for

Knight. All three of us came to a compromise on the bylaw,” said Speaker of the Senate Gage Kensler, senior in political science.

The new bylaw change allows for a check and balance system on the president’s expenditure of the Executive Initiative Account by the finance director and the executive cabinet. The senate failed a proposal to vote on the bylaw change at Wednesday’s senate meeting.

They were advised to take the week to review GSB’s bylaws and speak with their constituents on the matter.

“Constituents should ask of their senators, ‘How will this bill keep my money from being used in a way that I don’t see as being acceptable?’” Gray said.

our students right now by any means,” Paris-Walker said.

However, with the large diversity of the Iowa State campus, the student health center realizes that this may affect some students.

“You’ve got to think, we have kids from 130 different countries and all across the United States; someone’s family will probably be affected,” Knowles said.

“I came here early hoping I could volunteer,” Olsen said.

“But I’m here to enjoy Bruce [Springsteen] and support the president.”

Olsen felt there was a deeper message to the rally than just fans and students going to see a rock ‘n’ roll icon, and he said he is “worried about the youth” due to “the youth having a lack of interest in politics.”

The event started with a video showing Obama’s struggles and successes as president. The crowd did pay attention to the video, applauding at the scenes mentioning the death of Osama Bin Laden and the signing of the Fair Pay Act. After the video, attendees were treated to a performance from the ISU Jazz Combo group. The band played a few

An important question was raised concerning the source of money for the pursuit funding.

Wickert responded there was a 206 percent increase in state appropriations this spring due to increases in enrollment and research development.

Jennifer Margaret, director of the ISU gerontology program, expressed excitement and interest toward the presidential initiative.

“Inherently, [the gerontology program] is an interdisciplinary program,” Margaret said. “We want to connect with other departments and units to see how we can incorporate life span developmental principles into what folks are already doing to help educate

songs and gained applause from the audience. The bassist of the group, Spencer Bell, said the group took the performance as a “chance of a lifetime” to perform on the same stage just before Springsteen.

Bell described performing to such a large crowd as nervewracking, but something he was used to.

Dvorsky, chairwoman for the Iowa Democratic Party, took the stage after the jazz band to get the crowd amped up for voting.

“So much is at stake with this. … For the past two years, we’ve been preparing,” Dvorsky said. “It is working, we’re ready to go.”

After a short speech from Weber, junior in advertising, and another video, it was time for Springsteen to appear.

The crowd jumped, ran to the stage, and Springsteen screamed, “Fire it up! Ready to go!” The crowd cheered and

the performance began. The audience sang every word, and sometimes got comments from Springsteen like “good job,” or “that was terrible,” with a laugh from the crowd.

Between songs, Springsteen discussed the importance of voting, his belief in Obama and some of the cultural background behind his songs.

Even though Springsteen performed a short half-hour set, the crowd enjoyed every second of it. The crowd sang, cheered and rooted “Bruce” throughout the afternoon.

The show was free for all those who had an admission ticket, and the Obama for America Ames office said 3,500 ISU students and Iowa residents participated.

“All types of people were there. Young, old. They came from Ames and even far away,” said the Obama for America — Iowa group, calling the rally a great success.

students, and develop technology and create better environments that are aging friendly and sustainable.”

Margaret commented on how the open forum helped answer important questions regarding the program and the steps for moving forward within the process.

“I think it’s a good first step,” Margaret said. “It helped lay out the president’s agenda, which is very reassuring and exciting — to think big and think interdisciplinary. This forum could be the first step in more meetings where faculty get together and we regularly talk about and know more about what we’re doing.”

Hira noted three indicators which showed the forum had fulfilled its purpose. First,

there was attendance. Second, Hira and the panel had the opportunity to explain and give further clarification about the program.

Finally, the forum allowed the audience to express their ideas and concerns with the initiative, which the university administrators took into account.

“I think it was very good; it brought up a lot of what people were thinking about,” Quisenberry said. “I thought it was a great interchange, and that’s exactly what we wanted.”

Both Hira and Quisenberry said they hope to see more people in attendance at the next forum at 11 a.m. Oct. 26, in the Campanile Room of the Memorial Union.

Editorial

Do not align entertainers with politics The latest word from the presidential campaign of President Barack Obama is that people should vote for him because he is supported by the likes of actor Justin Long and musician Bruce Springsteen.

The appearances of both celebrities — who, apart from their talent at pleasing your eyes and ears, are not noted for much aside from their support of Obama — are a typical example of puedo-events that excite people but deliver no substance. The subtle hope behind Springsteen’s concert last night is that, in addition to being entertained, those in attendance will consider voting for the same person he support. Why else would Springsteen and his entourage fly to Ames, Iowa, to give a concert on a Thursday night?

The presumption is that if he can make such good music and please us so thoroughly, his political judgment must be good and we ought to agree with him.

We disagree. Insofar, the expectations for them were that they would entertain us or give a stump speech based on their celebrity rather than taking the time to figure out in what particular students are worried about and talk honestly about them. Long and Springsteen materializing on campus are not political events.

And since they are not political events, we have to wonder at why, then, the Obama campaign would have brought them here.

Unless, of course, they wanted to obscure politics altogether and administer a distracting opiate. To the extent that Obama is using people whose names are widely known to tout his campaign, his campaign is not founded on himself. The campaign of any politician should rest on the candidate him- or herself.

None of us — from the cynical members of this editorial board to the biggest fanboys and -girls of Long and Springsteen — should care how any other person — even ones as famous as Long and Springsteen — will vote.

To be effective, politics requires that judgments and decisions be the product of individual thought as we weigh evidence and arguments against one another. Listening to songs like “The Promised Land” and “Thunder Road” do not accomplish that. Our job as citizens consists of participating in politics in our own right, not in a mass of people in front of a stage. That is especially the case when the person on that stage makes his or her living as an entertainer.

Let Springsteen and Long come to campus, but let us make sure that their presentations of entertainment, such as they exist, be labeled as such.

Let us not confuse them with politics.

Public service requires independent action rather than adopting the views of others because the people who hold them are popular.

Clean up coal confusion A

s Election Day nears, don’t worry about trying to understand every issue the candidates discuss. Instead, look at the effects of those ideas. There are so many issues that come up in the presidential race and it is next to impossible for voters to be knowledgeable about all of them.

It is possible for voters to look at the candidates’ stance about the appropriate size of government and from there make a reasonable decision of who to vote for. For example, the debate about clean coal actually boils down to a debate about the size of government.

But what actually is clean coal, and why are we hearing about it?

I watched the first presidential debate Oct. 3, with my roommates who major in chemistry and environmental science. At a comment made about clean coal, they burst out laughing, saying there was no such thing. This term has also made its way into political ads. So I decided to look into it a little more.

In the presidential race, we have seen two distinct opinions develop.

President Barack Obama believes in the investment in green energy. In the past four years, Obama has won more than $10 billion in private investments toward green energy. He plans to promote research and investment in green energy, including clean coal technology, and regulations on harmful energy production.

This belief calls for the federal government to take responsibility. This is consistent with his stances on other issues, such as healthcare, jobs and education.

Republican candidate Mitt Romney does not go into detail about clean coal on his website. But he believes that energy production should be able to control energy production, and it should be certified by federal agencies, but led by individual states. This means that each state could decide how clean its energy is.

This side calls for the federal government to play a more limited role, and for the states to play a larger role. This is consistent with his stances on Medicare and education.

Regardless of who you believe should be responsible for the future of this technology, the federal or state government, clean coal could be a very important technology to the future of the production of energy in America.

It is something that people should be aware of, especially in a state that promotes their interest in green energy.

The term “clean coal” was created by R&R Partners. These are the people who brought us the popular “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” slogan. Big companies, such as Duke Power, Peabody Energy and BHP Billiton, latched onto this term by producing a multimillion dollar campaign. They spent $35 million in 2008 alone.

“Clean coal” refers to the technology used to limit the environmental effects of coal.

Coal as an energy source is very important.

The International Energy Agency estimated that 70 percent of the energy used between now and 2050 will come from fossil fuels, such as coal. It is also known as the dirtiest form of fossil fuel energy.

When burning coal for energy, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the atmosphere. These chemicals can cause acid rain, water pollution and human

File photo: Iowa State Daily The term “clean coal” was created by a public relations agency to describe technology used to limit coal’s environmental effects. Energy is an important topic in this year’s presidential race.

By Hannah.Dankbar @iowastatedaily.com health problems.

There are five types of clean coal technology that stand out: coal washing, wet scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators, gasification, and carbon capture and storage. These technologies use a variety of methods, but one common factor is that each of these technologies is very expensive. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimated that carbon capture and storage could add between 50 to 100 percent to coal energy costs, an increase that many companies and Americans are uncomfortable with.

This presents a valid business concern, but it is also a valid demand. If we know the source of multiple problems, shouldn’t a solution be demanded? The use of coal is causing serious

harm to our health and environment; therefore it is not out of line for the government (or anybody) to demand an alternative or at least a reduction.

Also, data from demonstration storage projects will not be available until 2013. This means construction on the first carbon capture and storage plants will not start until at least 2020, which means there is plenty of time to debate about which type of technology will be the most practical and create an effective plan.

As Election Day draws near, look at the stances each candidate takes and then think about what the implications of those stances will look like for our nation. Then you will make an informed decision.

Letters to the editor

Protect animals; Obama’s legacy vote for Vilsack consists of debt, Have you ever had a special bond with an animal, particularly with a dog?

Were you shocked by the details of Michael Vick’s dogfighting ring several years ago?

Would you like to see legislation enacted to create much greater penalties against all aspects of dogfighting?

Are you eligible to vote in this year’s election for the U.S. House of Representatives between Steve King and Christie Vilsack?

If you answered yes to these questions, regardless of your political affiliation, please seriously consider voting against King.

King’s voting record as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives is crystal clear...

He votes nearly 100 percent of

the time against animal protection bills.

He voted against legislation to offer help to pets when natural disasters occur. He voted against measures to crack down on dogfighting, even one which would ban bringing children to dogfights.

Regardless of whether you are a Republican, Democrat or Independent, King’s voting record is out of touch and should be of major concern to anyone who has even the slightest affection for animals in their life.

Please do man’s best friend a huge favor. Vote against King, and vote for Vilsack in this election.

failed leadership As a junior at Iowa State, I am concerned by the direction — or lack thereof — our country is headed under the current administration.

One of the president’s main responsibilities is to ensure that a new budget is passed for every fiscal year. Three out of the four years President Barack Obama has been in office, a new budget has not been passed.

That’s 25 percent.

I’m not sure how things work in Washington, but on campus that would be a failing record.

I think most Americans were raised in the manner that “If something is broken, you fix

it.” I know I was.

You don’t talk and talk about how much better something could be in a campaign speech and wind up doing absolutely nothing. That’s the opposite of leadership.

The failure of passing a budget has led to four straight years of over $1 trillion in deficit spending.

One trillion dollars is an unfathomable amount of money, and our generation is stuck with the task of paying off four of those.

Thank you Mr. President.

Pro-Obama chalk ‘graffiti’ has correct message Yes, it has been raining lately on campus.

While it is dreary, much studying is necessary and the sturdy roof of the library surely keeps me dry.

An article appeared in the Daily on Thursday expressing discontent on the proObama sidewalk chalk near/around Curtiss Hall. The author of said article stated that “Making it so that we cannot walk five steps without crossing what, in terms of taste, is a hair-line step above graffiti.” I argue otherwise.

I attend a land-grant university, Iowa State University of Science and Technology. We live in a global world now where, as President Barack Obama said in the recent debate, low-

skilled, low-pay jobs will be outsourced to the cheapest labor market possible. This beautiful collection of buildings and scientific equipment serves as a monument to America’s commitment to innovation in the face of challenge.

What we must do now is not cut the budget of Iowa State further, on top of the 50 percent state funding cuts over the last decade, but boost funding to continue scientific exploration. Republican candidate Mitt Romney would rather let those with the right connections keep the vast amount of their massive incomes, while ignoring critical investments to infrastructure and education to pay for it.

Now there is a point. This “graffiti” express-

ing motivation to vote Obama outside Curtiss may well be a lifeline for this wonderful place we all learn in. Iowa is a swing state. Most of it is extremely conservative, but the most populous areas, including Ames, seem to be much more progressive. Perhaps we can make up for the backwards views of most of this state by painting our sidewalks with reminders to support this institution we attend. If not, as the author said, eventually the rain will rinse it harmlessly away. After all, freedom of speech was the first amendment.

Working through injuries Oklahoma State, Iowa State both lacking key players

By Stephen.Koenigsfeld @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State has a 1-59 record against teams nationally ranked sixth or higher. That lone win came last year against No. 2 Oklahoma State.

On Saturday, the Cyclones (4-2, 1-2 Big 12) will travel to Stillwater, Okla., to try for a second straight road victory against the Cowboys (3-2, 1-1).

The major topic of conversation for both teams leading up to the game has been injuries. ISU coach Paul Rhoads said it’s just part of the game.

“Every week teams have those issues, including us right now without our starting tailback,” Rhoads said.

“You don’t change a whole lot in what you’re doing offensively or defensive-

ly. You just have to plug the next guy in and go from there.”

Rhoads said establishing a scheme and having the players execute it physiRhoads cally would be essential to win.

James White, the starting running back for Iowa State, did not play in the loss to Kansas State last weekend after having a knee procedure and will be out this weekend when the team travels to Stillwater.

Jeff Woody, Shontrelle Johnson, DeVondrick Nealy and Rob Standard have all been seeing action during practice without White this week leading up to the game.

“We’re going to have to play more than we have been,” Woody said. “As a player, if you said you didn’t want to play more, you’d be lying. But you also don’t want anyone to get hurt.”

Injuries have also plagued the OSU team, none more important than quarterback Wes Lunt.

Lunt injured his left knee on Sept.

15 in the game against LouisianaLafayette. He is not expected to play against Iowa State.

For its second road game, the ISU offense will see a backup quarterback. TCU’s Trevone Boykin failed to lead his team to a victory at home on Oct. 6 when the Cyclones traveled to Fort Worth, Texas.

The Cowboys will instead be starting J.W. Walsh at quarterback Saturday against the Cyclones.

Rhoads said the team has been compensating for the loss of White. “[With Woody] being healthier and getting more reps ... Standard [has been] filling in and taking more of the practice reps and taking the burden off the [other running backs],” Rhoads said.

Quarterback Jared Barnett said he will be missing White, but believes the other running backs will do an adequate job in picking up the slack for the team.

By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State was the first Big 12 team to hand No. 8 Texas its first loss of a set in league play this season, but was not able to pull off the upset after losing the match in five sets Wednesday night.

The No. 22 Cyclones (10-7, 4-3 Big 12) will return to Hilton Coliseum for a matchup on Saturday against Oklahoma.

The Sooners (16-6, 5-2 Big 12) are currently sitting at third place in the Big 12 standings, ahead of Iowa State, which is tied for fourth place with Kansas State.

ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said on Monday with the team going up against the Longhorns and Sooners in the same week, it was going to have to stay relaxed and keep things in perspective in its preparation for teams with different styles.

“If there are common themes, we’ll do it all week long, but Oklahoma and Texas are actually pretty different,” Johnson-Lynch said Monday about preparation for two teams in a span of a few days.

“Their offenses are pretty different and what they do well is pretty different.”

Middle blocker Jamie Straube, who had 13 kills, hitting a .294 percentage against Texas, remarked that only having two days to prepare for

Jake Calhoun, sports editor (26-23)

Iowa State — I know I look like I’m drinking the KoolAid, but Oklahoma State is having a lot of issues this year.

Michigan — I have literally run out of ways to say the Big Ten sucks.

Texas A&M — Upset alert: Les Miles still has no idea what he’s doing.

South Carolina — Upset alert: I really just don’t want to see an all-SEC championship game this year.

West Virginia — The Mountaineers will be hungry after getting upset last week. Plus Bill Snyder is really old.

Texas Tech — Texas Tech has been vulnerable after upsets, but Purple Baylor will still struggle with Pachall in detox.

Duke — I just want to see Duke become bowl eligible for the first time since 1995.

Dean Berhow-Goll, assistant sports editor (30-19)

Iowa State — I hate to hop on the bandwagon, but Oklahoma State hasn’t found itself and Iowa State is in a must-win situation.

Michigan — Both have been on a rollercoaster this season, but Michigan takes sweet mo’ into the Big House with them.

LSU — One of the best defenses in the country and a win against South Carolina is enough to convince me.

South Carolina — Still riding the Lattimore train.

I love the ol’ ball coach’s team this year.

West Virginia — The Wildcat offense isn’t explosive enough to keep up with West Virginia. Geno Smith gets back on track.

Texas Tech — If their defense keeps this up and Doege keeps rolling, the Red Raiders are going to wreak havoc in the Big 12.

North Carolina — UNC is a few points away from being undefeated. I don’t think Coach K has any sort of pull on the football field.

Alex Halsted, assistant sports editor (27-22)

Iowa State — Tough choice, but Oklahoma State struggled with Kansas and the ISU defense should contain them.

Michigan — The Spartans blew a win against Iowa, and it’ll only get worse from there.

LSU — Kyle Field has grass? Yes? So Les Miles can take a bite of it before the game? In that case I’ll take LSU.

South Carolina — I missed on South Carolina last week, but I think they’ll bounce back following a close loss to LSU.

Kansas State — I think the Wildcats might be for real. We’ll find out if their defense can control the West Virginia offense.

Texas Tech — I’m going with the Masked Rider to beat the Horned Frog.

North Carolina — This isn’t basketball, so it’s not that interesting. I think Duke waits at least another week for bowl eligibility.

Stephen Koengisfeld, sports online editor (33-16)

Iowa State — A threatening ISU defense against a struggling Oklahoma State defense says it all.

Michigan — Denard Robinson is going to have a field day with Sparty’s defensive woes.

LSU — The Tigers are almost as good on the road as they are at home. Possible BCS title contender.

Florida — I think the Gators might be for real, you guys.

Kansas State — Research shows Collin Klein is actually the great-greatgreat-great-great-nephew of Bill Snyder.

TCU — Students are back from fall break. Amon G. Carter will be full for this one.

Duke — Lots of potential for this to be a good football game, as long as Pam Ward stays out of it.

Guest pick: Michael Belding, opinion editor

Iowa State — Oklahoma is where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain, but Iowa is a wind tunnel.

Michigan State — I could say something cliche about how “This is Sparta,” but they’re playing in Ann Arbor.

Texas A&M — Their only loss was the first game of the season. Who doesn’t want to see them keep it going?

Florida — The old farewell is wrong. “See ya later, alligator” doesn’t apply here.

West Virginia — I feel like killing a wildcat is a basic rite of passage for any mountaineer.

Texas Tech — Raiders vs. a frog. A horned frog, sure.

But it’s still an amphibian.

North Carolina — Tar is sticky. Duke will probably get stuck to the bottom of UNC’s foot, which doesn’t count as “winning.”

>>HOCKEY.p5 season, losing only one game in overtime. That being said, ISU coach Al Murdoch feels Robert Morris has not played a team as fast or as tough as his.

“Our players are getting better each and every day,” Murdoch said.

Murdoch said his team needs to improve passes and finish on power plays.

The Cyclones have been struggling on the offensive side in recent games.

Murdoch said this may be due to the skill of opposing goalies.

“Teams tend to get up for Iowa State,” Murdoch said.

“They know the history of the program.”

After last Friday’s loss to the North Iowa Bulls, senior goalie Paul Karus was looking for the Cyclones to have “another hard week at practice,” and for the team to continue to work on consistency and focus.

In last season’s series, sophomore forward J.P. Kascsak completed a hat trick on his birthday.

It may not be his birthday this weekend, but he wouldn’t mind having a repeat in front of the home crowd.

“I’m definitely going to try,” Kascsak said of scoring another a hat trick.

“No sense trying to get too

tricky.”

Kascsak credited the hat trick to the congruity in his line.

“We work the puck well,” Kascsak said. “We’re all dynamic guys.”

The Cyclones may be struggling offensively as of late, but Murdoch has plans to change that, placing focus on the offensive end of the spectrum.

“We want to fill the net,” Murdoch said of the Cyclones’ need for some offensive power. “We need to go every time.”

Iowa State and Robert Morris face off at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.

things we need to do against Oklahoma,” Straube said.

“I think we are going to do a good job of taking away [learning points] from Texas’ match [and] using what we learned from them in getting ready to play [Oklahoma].”

Outside hitter Rachel Hockaday, said a focus for the Cyclone offense has been to get more work with out-ofsystem balls and to still get strong swings even if the ball isn’t perfectly positioned.

Hockaday recorded 10 kills and 10 digs in the loss to the Longhorns.

“I think it’s a mentality [of] just going up every single swing and just being aggressive,” Hockaday said.

“It’s not so much if you make a mistake as long as you’re being aggressive. You’re going to make plays as long as you go up hard every single

The Cyclone team will look to play the net aggressively and continue the solid play showcased over the last few weeks this weekend.

Iowa State will take on Oklahoma on Saturday at Hilton Coliseum. First serve is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

“It’ll be good to get ...

Nealy in the game, and of course getting [Woody] back with his knee hurting a little bit, just get him back and get him a couple carries here and there and see what he can do,” Barnett said.

Rhoads also said the 27-21 loss to Kansas State at home last weekend took a toll on his team.

“You can tell it was a physical game, this last one,” Rhoads said. “So you’ve been seeing that on the practice field.”

As far as White goes, Rhoads said on Wednesday after talking to him that the swelling was down and it was a better day.

The Cyclones will kick off in Stillwater at 11 a.m.

Saturday. The game will be broadcast on FX.
