Life on the CYdelines CYTENNIAL

Being Iowa State’s mascot takes hard work, dedication Did you know...

By Carter.Collins @iowastatedaily.com

Cy the Cardinal is not just the mascot for Iowa State; he’s a celebrity.

But becoming one of the most well-known mascots and “celebrities” in the state of Iowa is no cakewalk.

The ISU Mascot Squad, the students who become Cy, is made up of one female and six male ISU students.

The character of Cy is assumed 200 days out of the year, including at almost ISU athletic event.

Over the years the Cy suit has undergone many major transformations.

In 1954, Cy was made mostly from chicken wire and aluminum, which did not allow much movement. Today he is made of thick padding and an outer layer of “teddy bearlike” material that allows a much wider range of movement.

Today’s Cy suit comes in many different

■■ when Cy receives mail — even drawings from younger fans — he reads them and keeps all of them?

■■ Cy won the Capital Bowl Mascot Challenge in 2008?

■■ only one member of the squad travels to away games, (except against Iowa)?

He or she travels with the rest of the cheerleaders, dance team and players.

■■ the original costume was so large it had to be shipped by train to away games? Many rival schools kept “intercepting” it and were holding it for ransom, according to Cyclones.com.

■■ in the late 1970s and early 1980s, a miniature “Baby Cy” made appearances at many athletics events? Years later, however, Baby Cy was discontinued.

■■ the squad is dedicated to getting Cy right? This summer the squad, along with the cheer squad, went to camp.

At camp the squad dominated the competition winning numerous awards such as Most Collegiate and Best Overall Mascot. The squad received a bid to go to Nationals in April next year.

Election

One final face-off Romney, Obama spar about role in foreign politics

By David.Batholomew @iowastatedaily.com The final presidential debate of this election season took place between President Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla. The debate focused specifically on foreign policy and got under way with the topic of the crisis in Libya.

“With the Arab Spring came a great deal of hope,” Romney said. “But instead we’ve seen a number of dis-

Obama took a different approach, outlining a policy of progress he said has developed under his presidency.

“Gov. Romney, I’m glad you recognize al-Qaida a threat, because a couple of months ago you said the greatest geopolitical threat was Russia,” Obama said.

“You say you’re not interested in duplicating what happened in Iraq but two weeks ago you said we should have

more troops in Iraq. … What we need to do in respect to the Middle East is strong, steady leadership.”

CBS Evening News anchor and debate moderator Bob Schieffer later turned the tide of the debate to Syria.

“What we’ve done is organize the international community saying Assad has to go,” Obama said. “We are making sure we are organizing the moderate forces there. … I am confident Assad’s days

ISU political clubs debate key issues Topics include U.S. health care, global relief effort

By Charles.O’Brien @iowastatedaily.com The ISU Ambassadors hosted their own debate at the Memorial Union prior to the start of the U.S. presidential debate on Monday night.

The debate involved the College Democrats, College Republicans and independent parties debating over foreign policy, health care and education.

The different parties

touched on foreign policy and U.S. humanitarian efforts across the globe.

“Israel is the only nation in the Middle East with WMDs, [weapons of mass destruction]; we need to look at how much money we’re giving them,” said Luke Elzinga, senior in advertising and independent representative.

“We also need to look at human rights first, then political strategies.”

The Democrats discussed humanitarian aid as a priority, and military aid to foreign countries as not being the main option.

The Republicans supported giving humanitarian aid where it was most needed but pointed out financial problems the government faces when it comes to funding.

“We don’t have as much money as we have had in the past, so that limits us a little,” said Zach French, junior in history and Republican representative.

Republicans discussed the need to work with other countries but talked about how the United States sometimes had to work independently. They said more action during U.N. missions should be taken by

are numbered.”

Romney drew himself closer to Obama’s policies rather than distancing himself.

“Seeing a replacement government in Syria is critical for us,” Romney said. “The right course for us is working with our partners. … We need to have a very effective leadership effort there.”

Romney reiterated he wished not to get the United States involved militarily but also wanted strong leadership in order to remove Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Schieffer asked both candidates about the role America should play in the world.

“America must be strong, America must lead,” Romney said. “I will not cut our military budget.

Obama stood by his record on foreign policy.

“America remains the one indispensable nation,” Obama said. “Because we ended the war in Iraq … it allowed to refocus on alliances and relationships that have been neglected for more than a decade. … In Israel where we have had unprecedented cooperation.”

Schieffer asked Romney

other U.N. member states.

“Under our current system, I think the [Affordable Health Care for America Act] has made health care more accessible for now, but down the road we need to be looking at something else,” Elzinga said.

Democrats and Republicans pointed out health care was a benefit.

Republicans said it was a benefit of a good job which is used to attract better employees to a company, while some Democrats thought it should be taken care of as a universal benefit.

French stated the health care system had to be restructured, and they needed to allow for competition between insurance and health care companies to drive the price down. He stated taxes should be cut and have loop holes and tax breaks closed to generate revenue for Medicare and Medicaid.

“There has to be a steady

about how he expected to increase defense spending without increasing the deficit.

“We take program after program that we don’t need and get rid of them,” Romney said. “States like Arizona have taken these Medicare programs and shown they can run them effectively.”

Obama sought to lay out the numbers.

“The math doesn’t work but [Romney] says he’s going to do it,” Obama said. “We spend more money on our military than the next 10 countries combined. … When it comes to our military, we can’t think about budgets — we need to think about capabilities.”

Eventually, the tide turned to the issue over Iran’s nuclear program and its potential impact on Israel, a strong American ally.

“If Israel is attacked, America will stand with Israel,” Obama said. “As long as I am president of the United States, I will not let Iran get a nuclear weapon.”

Obama touted the tough sanctions he has put on Iran during his presidency, but Romney saw the effects of the sanctions differently.

stream of revenue,” Hughes said. “Romney has said there will be a 20 percent tax cut across the board for everybody; the math doesn’t add up then. ... Let [George W. Bush’s] tax cuts expire, and this will generate more revenue for health care.”

The education issue generated similar emphasis es-

pecially on education for the future of the United States.

“We need to start investing more in our science and math; education is one of the most important parts of our government,” Elzinga said. “We have to increase our children’s interest in something they love; then I think education of our children will greatly improve.”

“Our mission is to dissuade Iran from developing [into] a nuclear Iran,” Romney said. “I would tighten those sanctions … although I think they should have been put in earlier.”

Toward the end of the debate, the moderator asked the candidates about America’s longest war: Afghanistan.

“We are going to be finished by 2014,” Romney said.

“We’ve seen progress, the surge has been successful. …

And we are going to be able to make that transition.”

Obama talked about his record on foreign policy pertaining to Afghanistan and highlighted his plan of bringing the troops home by 2014.

“We are in a position where we have met many of the objectives that got us there in the first place,” Obama said.

“There’s no reason Americans should die when the Afghans are capable of taking on our role. … After a decade of war, it is time to do some nation building at home.”

Next, Schieffer asked candidates about the greatest future threat to U.S. national security.

“With respect to China, it is ... an adversary and a poten-

tial partner in the international community if it’s playing by the same rules,” Obama said.

Romney responded with talking about a stronger America than what he sees Obama has done.

“The greatest threat the world faces is a nuclear Iran,” Romney said. “Moving onto China, they don’t want a war. …

If I’m president, America will be very strong.”

The candidates sparred over who could be tougher on China in regards to currency manipulation.

With the closing statements, Obama went first.

“In the last four years we have made real progress in digging our way out of failed policies,” Obama said.

“I’ve got a different vision for America. I want to build on our strengths.

“I will work every single day to make sure America remains the greatest nation on earth.”

Romney ended by saying, “I want to make sure we get this economy going. … The president’s path will lead to declining take-home pay.

“I’ll get people back to work with 12 million new jobs.”

Memories from inside the Cy suit

Photo courtesy of ISU Athletics Cy has gone through many variations since his inception in 1954. The current Cy suit consists of four pieces — the head, body, legs and feet — and weighs approximately 30 pounds.

>>CY.p1 parts: his head, padded body, long yellow bird legs and black soles for the bottom of his feet.

The squad has a total of four complete suits.

The suit adds approximately 30 pounds of weight, and many squad members said it averages 15 degrees hotter inside the suit.

“Imagine going for a jog with a winter coat, gloves, hat, scarf and snow shoes while it’s 80plus degrees outside with limited visibility,” said Aleksander Poniatowski, a squad member and junior in mechanical engineering.

The general guidelines for an outfit worn in the suit are gym shorts, T-shirt and something to keep the sweat from going into the wearer’s eyes, such as a bandana.

The squad quickly narrowed down what aspects of Cy are challenging to two: his feet and head.

“I am a dancer, ” said Austin Riess, junior in pre-business. “You would be amazed how big the feet are and how hard it is to perform basic tasks such as running or dancing.”

Because it is hard for the squad to just walk normally, Kelli Baker, spirit squad coach and coordinator, said they have tried to perfect what they call the “Cy walk,” which is more of

a saunter.

Cy’s head also creates challenges for the ISU Mascot Squad.

The head is strapped on the squad member’s head, much like a helmet.

A simple knock can really jerk the neck of the person inside the suit.

It doesn’t take long for fans to know that Cy is present on the field or the court because of Cy’s dominant personality.

The squad works to keep the basic moves of Cy the same, to unify his image. But many of them have their own “trademarks.”

Some include doing fist throws, shooting half-court shots during basketball games, acting like the “big shot” or sticking their tongue out inside the suit when people say “Smile Cy” when they want a photo.

Stopping to take multiple photos can be unproductive for the mascot when they are at an athletic event.

“Just take more than one picture with Cy at a time rather than eight pictures on your phone and your camera,” said Kyle Behrens, junior in agricultural business. “We [the squad] can’t be standing around. We have places to be, especially on game days.”

Many members said the hardest aspect of

I was taking a picture with some ladies one time, and one of them thought it would be cool to grab my butt. It wasn’t. So I politely moved her hand, but she stuck

it right back on my backside. Then before they had even gotten a chance to take the picture, I left wagging my finger in the air as if to say ‘Oh

no you didn’t.’ So, ladies, gentlemen, though Cy is a very attractive bird, he is not an object for you to fulfill your lesser desires.”

“One time after an event I had to go to the bathroom really bad. I didn’t even really think about it, but I just ran to the stall to take care of the suit. If there was someone in the stall next to me, they definitely just saw Cy’s big bird feet.”

“I showed up once to surprise my little sister, and I was extremely happy when she screamed and hugged Cy and was saying how glad she was to see Cy for Christmas.”

“A truck drove past me with the big red bags we have to carry Cy in, and the drive of the truck yelled ‘Ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas!’”

being Cy was not the photos but when they take off the suit.

Baker spoke about other challenges.

“Time management in the suit with watching the game, interacting with fans, and then time management out of the suit, which they say is the most challenging for them,” Baker said.

Baker and the squad agreed being Cy is exhausting.

This is why the squad shares responsibilities on home football games. One person is Cy for tailgating, and different people are Cy for each game quarter.

With only four suits, and five people acting as Cy, the last person has to suit up in a Cy suit that’s already been used that day. Cy is cleaned on a regular basis, Baker said.

“Washing does put wear on the suit, and Cy’s head is rarely washed by equipment man-

agers with the Iowa State’s athletic department,” Baker said.

Baker said that if for whatever reason the suit can not be sent to be cleaned, the squad lets the suit air-dry, then uses dryer sheets and enormous amounts of Febreze.

The members of the squad agreed that Cy’s hygiene is well kept. Only after long days does he really start to smell or become what they call a “dirty bird.”

If Cy becomes a “dirty bird” at the end of the day, the members said they have worked hard to accomplish their overall goal: create the Cyclone atmosphere more enjoyable for all fans. They said it’s worth the smiles, the laughs and the awkward situations.

“I am very thankful for all the fans that appreciate Cy and tell us that when we are in the suit,” Riess said. “We as a squad love to hear that we are doing a great job.”

Politics

GSB must be professional, approachable Connecting with constituents is a crucial aspect of politicians’ lives. You see this when politicians shake hands with community members or kiss babies’ heads. However, politicians should not lose the respect of their constituents in their quests to connect with them. They must strike a balance between professionalism and approachability in order to be the most effective politicians.

At last Wednesday’s Government of the Student Body senate meeting, GSB Vice President Katie Brown suggested wearing Halloween costumes at the Oct. 31 meeting.

While wearing costumes might improve the senators’ approachability, there is a risk that it also may cause some constituents to lose respect in their senators, which is particularly troublesome when considering how far GSB senators have come in connecting with their constituents while improving GSB’s reputation as a whole in the past year.

One improvement GSB has made is live tweeting its meetings, which improves transparency without causing the organization to lose the respect of its constituents. In fact, live tweeting shows how GSB is tuned in to the needs of the student body, a mark of dedication and professionalism.

Furthermore, the “Making GSB Accountable and Transparent” bill proposed at the Sept. 12 meeting also shows GSB senators’ dedication in improving their communication with the people they represent.

The bill states all GSB activities should be made available to the public in documents, video and audio. Also, the bill states the GSB website must stay up to date, which it currently is not. Having an up-to-date website with important information on it increases the professionalism of GSB and helps students feel more connected to their senators.

While GSB has made strides in improving transparency and reputation, there is still room for improvement.

For instance, the way some senators dress at GSB senate meetings is not appropriate and hurts the perception people have toward both them. Dressing like a college student because senators represent college students is a flawed philosophy and does little to improve a senator’s approachability. As a senator, students must show professionalism in both speech and appearance.

This is no different than when a student shows up at a career fair in casual attire. An employer will judge a student’s professionalism in all aspects of life if he or she chooses to dress down. The same is true for constituents seeing senators wearing casual attire to GSB meetings.

Similarly, wearing Halloween costumes to a GSB meeting is not appropriate and hurts the public perception of the senators, even if they dress in costumes for just one night.

Photo courtesy of Flickr/Roel Wijnants Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza once said: “Peace is not an absence of war; it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.” Columnist Michael Belding asks whether the House Republicans still believe they are at war, based on their opposition to the U.S. president.

Has the GOP won peace?

S

oon — in only two weeks — millions of Americans will take some time out of their day to vote.

As said two longtime congressional scholars, Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein, politics in the United States is more polarized now than at any time since the Civil War, when politics came to fratricidal blows for four years.

Even if you disagree with that almost apocalyptic assessment of our political infirmities, no matter how you slice it the Democratic and Republican Party faithful say, more likely than not, that this will be the most important election through which our country has had to pilot herself thus far.

What is important to think about, as we leave the comfort of our homes to vote, is whether the incumbent party (in this case, the Republicans that now control the U.S. House of Representatives) has done a good job of serving as a loyal opposition to our Democratic president. We ought to consider the attitude with which Republicans have ruled the People’s House during their two years in control of that body with a 50-member majority over the Democrats.

Politics is a constant activity, and relegating it to the months preceding November cheats us of opportunities to seek, much less decide on and implement, solutions to the public problems

By Michael.Belding @iowastatedaily.com government should address. Since assuming the majority, House Republicans should have set about trying to win the peace.

Winning that peace — the time between elections — has not been among the priorities of House Republicans since their successes in the midterm elections of 2010, and since President Barack Obama was elected in 2008. But the day after the 2010 elections which made him speaker of the House, John Boehner, R-Ohio, said he would work with Obama to the extent that he was willing to “change course.”

Instead of expressing an interest in governing, Republicans continued their deep opposition to the president. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was quoted as saying: “We’re determined to stop the agenda Americans have rejected. We’ll work with the administration when they agree with the people and confront them when they don’t.”

Naturally, “when they don’t” meant whenever the Obama administration disagreed with congressional Republicans, the

group charged with carrying out the people’s will.

Their rhetoric brings back memories of Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev’s “We will bury you!” in 1956. It sounds eerily similar to that employed for a scene in the Clint Eastwood classic “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” when members of the Confederate outfit Eastwood’s character rode with during the Civil War were among the last units to surrender to federal authorities and swear allegiance to the United States. But the Federals were not interested in surrender and assimilation of the rebels but their annihilation.

The senator overseeing the oath administration sneered to the rebel commander, Fletcher, after he noted how vengeful and murderous was the federal captain administering the oath, saying: “The war’s over. Our side won the war. Now we must busy ourselves winning the peace.

Fletcher, there’s an old saying —‘to the victors belong the spoils.’”

There was in that scene none of the grace Gen. Ulysses S. Grant put into his statement after the Confederate surrender at Appomattox: “The war is over, the rebels are our countrymen again.”

Variations on the idea that peace is not merely the absence of war but the presence of something else abound. The Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza said: “Peace is not an absence of war, it is a

virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.” According to some accounts, he said: “Peace is ... a virtue based on strength of character.”

Martin Luther King Jr. is reputed to have said: “Peace is not the absence of conflict; it is the presence of justice and brotherhood.” Dorothy Thompson, the first journalist to be expelled from Nazi Germany, said: “Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict.”

Republicans seem to be under the delusion that they are at war.

In order to be credible politicians and deserve the votes of their prospective constituents, Republicans must, without qualification or equivocation, adopt an attitude that accepts the validity of individuals in their own right and that recognizes the basic fact of human existence that our worth is not defined in terms of the groups to which we belong.

We can even number Ronald Reagan among those who would likely disagree with House Republicans’ take-it-or-leave-it handling of their majority.

“Peace,” he said, “is not the absence of conflict; it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.”

Democracy

All parties deserve debate time Arrests of Green Party candidates bring out problems in elections

G

reen Party presidential candidate Jill Stein and vice presidential candidate Cheri Honkala were arrested Oct. 16, the night of the second presidential debate.

Complying peacefully, they were charged with disorderly conduct after they were refused entry into Hofstra University, the location of the debate Stein and Honkala are the predominate Green Party candidates who show up on 85 percent of the nation’s ballot, including Iowa. After the Commission on Presidential Debates disallowed them from participating in the events, Stein and Honkala protested by sitting outside the debate hall with an American flag, surrounded by police officers preventing them from entering the facility.

Jailed for more than eight hours, the candidate’s campaign manager Ben Manski said: “The arrest was outrageous and shouldn’t be tolerated in a country that is a leading proponent of democracy. ... They knew that there was the possibility that they would be arrested. Their intention was to enter the premises and bear witness to the mockery of democracy that is tonight’s debate.”

Many might argue that Stein’s

By Ian.Timberlake @iowastatedaily.com behavior, especially as a presidential candidate, was of slightly too high intensity. Fair enough. That same kind of pacifistic mentality strips everything it means to be a democracy. I would like to note that when Stein debated Romney in Massachusetts in 2002, the Boston Globe claimed “[Stein] was the only adult in the room”.

Larry King, in response to the arrest, decided to be a moderator for a live-stream debate in Chicago for minorparty presidential candidates at 7 p.m. CT this Tuesday on Ora.tv/ ora2012/thirdparty. The debate includes: Libertarian Party, Gary Johnson; Green Party, Jill Stein; Constitution Party, Virgil Goode; Justice Party, Rocky Anderson.

Larry King made it clear none of them will win, going on to say: “They have a story to tell. It’s a valid story. It’s a two-party system, but not a two-party system by law.” The debate is organized by the Free and Equal Elections Foundation.

To go back to Manski’s remark about “mockery of democracy,” there seems to be a very legal but very shady way our debates are organized. Here’s a not so well

known secret: The Commission on Presidential Debates is actually a private corporation.

You heard that right. All the presidential elections you’ve seen televised since 1987 are formed and run by the Democratic Party and Republican Party. The commission is technically “nonprofit,” but the money comes from contributions of various foundations and corporations. And when a corporation has money flow and is under the control of the Republican and Democratic national committees, it becomes quite apparent nobody is going to devote attention or resources to a third party of any kind.

In 2000, Ralph Nader filed a lawsuit against the Commission on Presidential Debates, which cited a monetary favor to the Republican and Democratic national committees and stated that was against the Federal Election Campaign Act. He lost the lawsuit on the basis he failed to provide enough evidence the commission was favoring or denying any party.

The commission has drawn outlash over the years, leading to protests at its headquarters and demanding of contact information being posted on its website. The list of allegations is endless.

In 2004, Green Party candidate David Cobb and Libertarian candidate Michael Badnarik were arrested for civil disobedience after ignoring the police request to not enter the presidential debate.

In 2008, the Center for Public

Integrity found 93 percent of commission’s money came from just six donors, all of which were kept secret.

Just a month ago, Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson filed a lawsuit against the Commission on Presidential Debates for denying competition by the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, a century old act that denies business from restraining competition in the market.

Johnson asked the court to put a hold on all presidential debates until the lawsuit was completed or until all presidential candidates were allowed debate time by the commission and had the 270 electoral votes to win an election.

That request was denied.

Do you notice a trend here?

Two active presidential candidates and three former presidential candidates in recent times have all protested both formally and informally for the right to a fair election process, and all have lost and/or been arrested.

Regardless of what the court finds in Johnson’s lawsuit and regardless of the likelihood of a third party getting elected, all parties that have a spot on an American presidential ballot should have the right to an equal and fair election process — what is this, a democracy?

Second-half ‘rejuvenation’

By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com Now at the half-way mark of the Big 12 season, No. 22 Iowa State is clicking at the right time.

After losing in five games at No. 8 Texas and sweeping Oklahoma in Ames, the Cyclones (11-7, 5-3 Big 12) will prepare to take on each conference opponent for the second time.

Starting the second half of Big 12 play is somewhat a “rejuvenating” part of the season for setter Alison Landwehr.

Landwehr recorded 19.67 assists per set in the win against Oklahoma.

“We get a chance to start over with all these teams, some that we lost to and some that we beat,” Landwehr said.

“Another chance to prove ourselves and get them away or home.”

During the first half of Big 12 play, ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said her squad “beat the teams we were supposed to beat” but played rather poorly at times. Johnson-Lynch believes now heading into the second round of con-

ference play, her team is “in a good position” to be more successful.

“I think we can challenge to do better the second half for sure,” JohnsonLynch said. “That’s going to be a goal.

We can have a better record the second time around but we’ll need to play like we have in the past week. I like how we’ve been playing and I think we have a great shot if we continue to have a better second half than first half.”

Competitive anger has been the phrase driving the Cyclones for the past couple of weeks, and that is going to be the mentality, libero Kristen Hahn hopes, will continue to push the team for the remainder of the year.

Hahn continues to lead the Big 12 in digs per set with 5.57.

“I think our new mentality needs to be we’re starting a new season,” Hahn said. “It’s a brand-new start, fresh; it’s 0-0. We’re finally clicking, although we have been throughout the year; I think everyone’s finally coming together.”

Defensively, Iowa State has been in a rhythm for the last few matches.

Against Texas, a strong offensive team, the Cyclones recorded 14.8 digs per set as a team and 17 against Oklahoma.

Johnson-Lynch said she thought, especially against Oklahoma, Iowa State just seemed to be clicking as a whole.

“It’s not often when it feels like everybody on your team is playing well at once,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We’ve got another very important week ahead of us, and we’ll have to have those kinds of performances for us to have a chance at KU or TCU.” Even in the loss to Texas after leading the match 2-0, Hahn thought the competitive match gave Iowa State a renewed confidence going into the rest of the conference season.

“I told the team after the game, we might have lost, but I’m so proud of the way that we played,” Hahn said.

“We’re the first team to take a set off of them in the Big 12. We might have lost to them, but we can play with a team that swept the teams we lost to.

“That just proves that we have all the potential in the world.”

Commentary

Radical, best choice at quarterback

A

s the wheels came off for the ISU offense in last Saturday’s 31-10 loss to Oklahoma State, I watched from the press box of Boone Pickens Stadium and couldn’t help but cringe.

Jared Barnett was benched for Steele Jantz at the start of the fourth quarter after losing the lead and failing to retaliate after taking a 10-7 lead into the second quarter.

From that point, watching Jantz’s first few plays unravel akin to the aimless floundering of a fish on land, I realized something: There is no hope for this offense.

“If we turned around and responded, we’d be having a different conversation right now,” Barnett said after the game. “The scoreboard would say something different, but we didn’t come out and respond.”

When Jantz screws up, fans call for Barnett. When Barnett screws up, fans call for Jantz as though they had completely forgotten why he was even benched in the first place.

Folks, I’ve covered 16 of this team’s games — nine last season, all seven this season — and while that comparatively might not be a lot, I’ve seen enough to be able to tell you the harsh truth: Neither Steele Jantz nor Jared Barnett can play consistently enough to get this team over the hump of a mediocre 6-6 season.

ISU coach Paul Rhoads has possibly two of the best linebackers this program has ever had in Jake Knott and A.J. Klein.

Both true seniors have combined for 24 percent of the team’s total tackles in the past two-plus seasons as starters. Knott ranks sixth all time in total tackles in ISU history with 336 while Klein shares the NCAA record in most career interceptions

File photo: Megan Wolff/Iowa State Daily Quarterbacks Sam Richardson, Jared Barnett and Steele Jantz chat with each other during the football media day Aug. 2 at Jack Trice Stadium. So far this season, only Richardson of the three has not attempted a pass as quarterback for the Cyclones.

Quarterbacks vs. Big 12

By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com returned for touchdowns with four.

But yet, their talent is being wasted with the fragmented success of this inconsistent offense. At this rate, the defense will have lost its key players by the time the offense gets its act together.

Iowa State should have beaten Texas Tech. Iowa State should have beaten Kansas State. Heck, Iowa State should have beaten or at least kept it close with Oklahoma State.

But sugar-coating the situation isn’t doing any good. I think the only shot this team has at finding any success is if Sam Richardson starts at quarterback.

■■ Steele Jantz (0-5) — 76-151 comp. (50.3 pct), 763 passing yards, 5 TD, 5 INT ■■ Jared Barnett (4-4) — 155-309 comp. (50.2 pct), 1,733 passing yards, 12 TD, 9 INT ■■ Sam Richardson (0-0) — N/A

Although Richardson has not been talked about as much as the other two, Rhoads managed to shed some light on what he sees in practice.

“He’s probably the most natural thrower out of the three guys,” Rhoads said of Richardson. “He doesn’t look athletic when he runs, but he’s effective.”

Richardson’s main setback, Rhoads said, is his lack of aggressiveness as the

leader of the offense, inhibiting his decision-making in practice.

Richardson has one series of experience from Iowa State’s win on Sept. 15 against Western Illinois.

In that drive, Richardson showed poise in leading the team down the field to an eventual rushing score by Rob Standard. Even though Richardson never attempted a pass, we won’t know how he will do until he’s put on the field.

Start Richardson — he will be going against the Baylor defense that ranks dead-last in the nation. He’ll have success and build confidence to the point where he will be more aggressive as the leader of the offense.

Fans want Jantz, then they want Barnett, but why not Richardson? This team doesn’t have anything else to lose.

Breakups can be tough for anybody, especially when you see your ex move onto someone else and are happier as a result.

However, there comes a point when you finally put the past to rest and move on.

But no one told ISU fans.

Almost four years after the departure of coach Gene Chizik, Cyclone fans still curse his name because he fled after two seasons at 5-19.

But four years after his notorious departure from Iowa State, Chizik has found himself with his seat scorching hot at Auburn, having become the first coach to ever start 1-6 two seasons removed from winning a national title. Chizik will most likely be bought out and relieved of his duties, and Cyclone fans couldn’t be happier about it.

But cheering against Chizik is a little ridiculous, don’t you think?

The Cyclone nation is already enthralled with the passionate Paul Rhoads, who has set numerous milestones in his short three-plus years at the program’s helm.

Rhoads has made a commitment to the ISU football program both through his words and his actions while on the cusp of breaking the ceiling of mediocre 6-6 seasons.

In a couple years, Iowa State will be a contender under Rhoads, and that’s exactly what he wants.

Metaphorically speaking, Rhoads is the all-American dream girl who just so happens to be totally into you. Chizik, on the other hand, was the fleeting flame who wanted to take things too fast and left after realizing she made a mistake.

Chizik spent two seasons at Iowa State before taking the job at Auburn, leaving the ISU community in shock. He was viewed as a coward after ditching town in pursuit of a comparably lavish gig with a better chance to win a championship.

That championship came two seasons in his tenure at Auburn, but Chizik soon struggled keeping up with recruiting in the SEC with Alabama and LSU nipping at his prospects.

Chizik wanted a quick fix, and he got it with Cam Newton winning him a national title in 2010. But now that he’s likely going to be fired just two seasons after winning said championship, ISU fans are hooting and hollering.

But folks, just because Chizik bailed on your team doesn’t mean you’re justified in taking pride in the fact that he’s about to lose his job, especially since your team has had success without him.

If Iowa State had won four games for each of the past three seasons, then your ill will toward Chizik might make sense.

But in this particular case, it’s best to let bygones be bygones, especially since there’s no guarantee Chizik would’ve had any success at Iowa State.

Fandom can be irrational, biased and flat-out ignorant.

Show some class and don’t let your loyalties prevent you from reveling in what lies ahead.

Chizik wasn’t the right guy for the job, and his actions showed that. Rhoads, from we can tell, is the right guy and is in the process of building Iowa State into a contender, so be thankful for what you have and quit spitting on Chizik.

Chizik’s apology came in the form of the team’s success under Rhoads, so cursing his name only makes you look bad.

But hey, we can forgive you for still having mean spirits toward Chizik. Forgiveness is the first step in healing.

The search committee consists of 18 members. Pam White, dean of the College of Human Sciences, and Dawn Bratsch-Prince, associate provost for academic personnel, are the committee’s co-chairwomen.

Rob Schweers, director of communications for the Office of the Senior Vice President and Provost, provided information about the search committee.

“Typically for a dean search, we have someone who is an assistant or associate provost here along with a dean from one of the other colleges,” Schweers said.

In most dean searches, candidates are often nominated.

“We’re actively soliciting nominations,” Schweers said. “Those nomina-

tions may come internally. So you have a faculty member who says: ‘Oh I came from Harvard and they had this great professor there who I’d think would be a great dean.’

They forward those names and then often times we’ll reach out those people and say to them: ‘You were recommended as someone for this position. Are you interested?’ If they are, they have the option to take the formal step to apply.”

Not only are nominations taken internally but oftentimes alumni will offer nominations as well. Dean positions are also advertised in publications like the “Chronicle of Higher Philanthropy.”

“You won’t find it in The [Des Moines] Register or the Ames Tribune,” Schweers said jokingly. “But with those advertisements we find people that we may not have thought of or who weren’t recommended to us.”

There are a few steps to the application process. Applicants are first narrowed down based on how they look on paper.

After that, those selected may have their references called upon. Then a smaller group is selected.

“Essentially we invite them to the airport,” Schweers joked again. “We call them ‘airport interviews,’ where people can fly in quick, have their interview, and

then they fly home.”

These “airport interviews” are used for a couple of reasons.

“If you’re not really at the finalist stage, you probably don’t want your current university employer to know you’re looking,” Schweers said. “So it’s a way for them to discreetly come and talk about their qualifications and why they think they would be good fit to lead, in this case, the College of Business.”

From there, the group is narrowed down to an even smaller candidate pool.

These candidates are invited to campus.

Here they present in open forums to the search committee and people involved with the college. From all of this, feedback is provided to the search committee.

“The search committee takes all the feedback it get from the open forums, faculty and from fellow search committee members themselves, and comes up with a recommendation essentially to the provost, who then, in consultation with others, makes the final decision of who the next dean of the College of Business will be,” Schweers said.

There is no timeline for when the new dean will be found. The search, having started only a week and a half ago, is in early stages and actively taking nominations.

Remodeling starts for Ames’ Chipotle Chain restaurant’s official start date remains unknown

By Tracy.Robinson @iowastatedaily.com On the corner of South Duff Avenue and Fifth Street, an abandoned building sits across the street from Texas Roadhouse just waiting for a business to move in.

This will be happening soon as Chipotle, a fast-food Mexican restaurant chain, begins to take charge of the building and starts remodeling. This will be the third Chipotle restaurant in Iowa, with the other two being located in West Des Moines and Iowa City.

Chipotle, founded in 1993, has been named on a list of the fastest-growing restaurant chains in 2009. Its current total is 1316 restaurants located in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada.

According to the restaurant’s official website, Chipotle declares “food served fast doesn’t have to be fast-food.” Chipotle is known for its kitchen design that is

open to the entire restaurant so each customer can choose what ingredients they want in their food.

In keeping with the chain’s motto — “Food with Integrity” — all food used is grown locally within the United States.

“The tenant contract has been signed which means the inside of the building will start getting remodeled,” said Shana Perkins, Ames economic development commission employee. “We are unable to release the date of when they will open yet but that information will be available soon.”

The building that Chipotle is moving into was once the home of a Sprint cellphone store and a local bar. Those businesses were closed after the 2010 flood.

The building has been fixed since then, and Chipotle will be moving in with its neighbor, AT&T, shortly.

ISU freshman Sam Conley was excited by the news of a Chipotle restaurant.

“There were two within biking distance from my house in Minnesota,” he said. “I couldn’t be more excited [about] having one here in Ames.”
