‘The Daily Show’ comes to campus Cast members share satiric spin on this year’s election

By Cole.Komma @iowastatedaily.com Three members of the “The Daily Show” will be at Stephens Auditorium on Friday to give their own satirical spin on this year’s election season.

John Hodgman, the show’s “resident expert;” J.R. Havlan, an Emmy-winning writer for the show; and Al Madrigal, who acted as a political

correspondent, will come together as they embark on “The Daily Show Indecision Tour 2012.”

“This is the perfect end to this year’s campaign season,” said Pat Miller, program manager of Iowa State’s Lectures program. “It’s great to have them.”

Students may recall earlier this semester, when the Lectures program brought Bill Nye to speak at Stephens Auditorium, that some students had to be turned away because the 2,247seat venue had already been filled.

T h e pursuit for the new president of the ISU Foundation has come to Neuhaus a close with the selection of Roger Neuhaus.

After weeks of contemplation, the Foundation Board unanimously decided to entrust the presidential responsibilities to Neuhaus.

ISU Foundation Board Chairwoman Marla Franklin is very confident in the Board’s declaration.

“He possesses about everything that we were looking for,” Franklin said. “He has a very strong fundraising background and, obviously, that is something that is very important.

“He demonstrated his leadership skills throughout the recruiting process.”

Neuhaus’s fundraising skills can be observed in his accomplishments

Neuhaus has a Bachelor of Arts degree in speech communication from Loras College and a Master of Science degree in educational administration from Southern Illinois University.

Memorial Union switches to energy-saving technology LED lights, temperature control system installed

By Gibson.Akers @iowastatedaily.com The Memorial Union has made another stride in its effort to be a part of the green movement.

The Memorial Union has started to replace the lights in the parking ramp and Grand Hall with new technology: LED lighting.

They have also installed a new temperature control system inside the building, both reducing the amount of energy used by the building and helping cut the building’s carbon footprint.

Outside, the parking ramp has mostly been converted to an LED lighting system.

The spiral exit is still awaiting upgrade.

Facility Manager Kenneth Umbaugh said they are planning on installing the rest of the lights by the end of the month.

They will also be installing motion detectors and photocells, so the lights are on only when needed. Umbaugh said that the LED lighting will cut the amount of energy

Since his time there, staring in May 2008, the Foundation reported private gifts of more than $600 million, including a record year of $181 million last year alone, according to the ISU Foundation’s website.

Neuhaus is no stranger to Iowa. Both he and his wife Theresa grew up in Dubuque.

Neuhaus continued his education at the Loras College in Dubuque and received a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in speech communication.

He also possesses a Master of Science degree in educational administration from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.

Preceding his position at University of Arizona,

it had previously taken to light the parking ramp by 70 percent.

Inside the building, each of Grand Hall’s eight chandeliers has been replaced with LED light bulbs. With the new LED light bulbs, the amount of watts taken to light the room has been reduced to 3,840 watts from a previous total of 15,306 watts, reducing the amount of energy used in the room by 75 percent.

“The LED lights both for the parking ramp and Grand Hall have a five-year warranty, but are expected to last a lot longer,” Umbaugh said.

The Memorial Union has also installed a new temperature control system. This new system has allowed for consistent heating and cooling.

The system is computer-operated and can only be accessed by certain people. It is also controlled on a room-by-room basis. This will allow decreasing or increasing temperatures when people are or are not in the rooms.

“It’s a real nifty system; I don’t even have to be in the building to adjust the temperature,” Umbaugh said.

Funding for these energy-improving projects has been made possible by the

Neuhaus also worked with Southern Illinois University, where he served as assistant director of the alumni association for six years.

Neuhaus also fundraised for Verde Valley Medical Center in northern Arizona.

“He has a lot of energy and very strong work ethic,” Franklin said. “He’s the whole package. I think he’ll be a great president.”

ISU President Steven Leath is anticipating Neuhaus’s arrival to Iowa State as well. “[Neuhaus’s] many years of fundraising experience will make him a valuable asset to the ISU Foundation,” Leath said in a comment to the ISU

The total cost for the energy-improving projects at the Memorial Union totals $250,000 with the parking ramp costing roughly $40,000. The Memorial Union plans on paying back the loan with the money it is saving from using the new systems.

Foundation.

“I look forward to working with him and the rest of the foundation staff as they continue to support Iowa State’s priorities.”

Neuhaus is eager to get started at Iowa State.

“I was elated [at the decision],” Neuhaus said. “I’m looking forward to working with the board of directors and President Leath. I was very impressed with the level of commitment with the board.”

Neuhaus will be in charge of all of the operations of the Foundation.

He officially begins on Jan. 23, 2013, providing him with time to wrap up his responsibilities at the University of Arizona, and there is no set plan of action for the Foundation just yet.

“What I’ll be doing the first couple of months is an as-

sessment of the Foundation,” Neuhaus said. “Then we’ll form a plan and later form an objective.”

Former ISU College of Business Dean, Labh Hira, served as interim Foundation President while the search was underway.

In a remark to the Foundation, Leath said they were grateful to Hira.

“We are indebted to Labh, both for his outstanding work and service to the university as a faculty member and dean of the college of business, but also for the past several months as the interim president of the foundation,” Leath said.

In his feelings on leaving Arizona, Neuhaus said, “I will miss Arizona, particularly in January and February, but I will not miss it during June, July and August.”

show’s host, Jon Stewart, is “one of the best satirists in the business, if not history.”

“No one can approach his brilliance,” Bugeja said.

Bugeja further broke down the elements needed to make good, satirical content. Three key things to have are an “unreliable title,” an “unreliable voice” and “a small amount of truth that people know is true, but no one dares to say it.”

Bugeja said that mastering the elements of satire is no easy job.

“People think they can write satire, but without truth, satire becomes sarcasm.

People often get those two confused,” Bugeja said.

With the campaign season at an end, students can finally relax and laugh about the whirlwind of media coverage, with shows such as “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report” provoking that laughter. “‘The Daily Show’ does a tremendous service to this country by showing what satire really is,” Bugeja said.

Miller said this time they are more prepared and said doors opening at 7 p.m. is a reasonable time to come wait in line. The free program will begin at 8 p.m.

Taking a page from satirical pioneers Jonathan Swift and Mark Twain, “The Daily Show” aims to shed light on political issues not covered in major media sources.

“What they’ll tell you at ‘The Daily Show’ is that virtually everything Jon Stewart says is the truth,” said Tony Fox, executive vice president of Comedy Central, as quoted in Michael Bugeja’s book, “Living Ethics: Across Media Platforms.” “Their report is real and they’re not making stuff up. Jon Stewart and his writers are just shining a light on things that the mainstream media aren’t covering.”

Bugeja, director of the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication, mentions “The Daily Show” in the 2008 book. Bugeja believes the

Marijuana law reform group under heat ISU club asked to remove Cy from T-shirt design

By Solomon.Keithley @iowastatedaily.com A group on campus has found themselves under scrutiny for their use of the ISU logo of the mascot Cy on their club T-shirts.

The ISU chapter of the National Organization for the Reformation of Marijuana Laws, “NORML ISU,” met with Tom Hill, the vice president of student affairs, on Thursday, Nov. 28, to discuss their shirts.

The meeting was called after an article ran in the Des Moines Register and a note had been written to the editor talking about the T-shirts.

“What we need to do is start sorting through issues,” Hill said. “There is a reason those T-shirts are popular. I would not suggest putting Cy on a shirt trying to legalize some-

thing that is illegal. You got these in production, we aren’t trying to take them, but you can’t print them anymore. If we can get away from ‘yay or nay’ and just say we are from Iowa State University, that would be good.”

Warren Madden, senior vice president of business and finance, was also at the meeting.

“Whether the mark (Cy) as it’s presented endorses the act that you guys are supporting, and we don’t endorse anything, not just this act,” Madden said. “Right at the moment there have been some issues with the way these have been developed.”

“We have a university concern with the potential of producing more shirts with the mark on it, as is,” Madden continued. “You have to put these in the context: there is no question you got approval to do this, and now we are getting feedback and are reviewing the T-shirt.”

The meeting came to the

The entry fees are $20 and will be accepted through cash or credit card, or the cost may be applied to the runner’s U-Bill.

Registration and check-in begins at 4 p.m., Friday, Nov. 30, and goes until 5:45 p.m. in the Multicultural Center in the Memorial Union.

The race will begin at 6 p.m. in front of the Memorial Union.

Before the Jog, a costume contest will be held, during which the greatest holiday-themed runner will be awarded, and students have the option to write letters to soldiers and make crafts.

Veishea will have an informational booth set up at the event, and the Council will show a Gangnam Style parody called “Freshmen Council Style.”

Michael Hoefer, president of the Freshmen Council, explained that integrating the Jingle Jog as part of WinterFest this year allows the Council to provide the activities and have better decorations.

conclusion that the students need to come up with new designs. The T-shirt they have now has been declared as unfit, and seen as Iowa State endorsing something that they are not. The shirts are no longer in production.

Connor Jennings, junior in industrial engineering, gave his response to how the meeting went.

“We went in there,” Jennings said. “We tried to talk about why the meeting was called, what the big problem with the shirt was, and the problem was that Cy’s logo was incorporated with the [National Organization for the Reformation of Marijuana Laws] logo. They felt that we were saying Iowa State was endorsing [National Organization for the Reformation of Marijuana Laws]. So we need to make different shirts.”

The group will continue to make different sketches for their T-shirt until they find one that Iowa State approves of.

Ashley Fall, special events co-chair for Freshmen Council, said due to a great group effort, the participation in the jog went from around 400 runners last year to around 700 runners this year.

“It’s going for a great cause,” Fall said.

“Everyone on Freshmen Council has devoted their time and effort to it.”

Hoefer said the amount of money was also a record breaker.

Hoefer shared, “Last year we raised $5,700.

This year, we are on pace to raise over $10,000.”

Hoefer said that is more than twice the amount of money in the past. All registration fees will go toward the Andy Albright Scholarship of $1,000.

The student winning the scholarship will be a freshman that the Council believes demonstrates great leadership and is most deserving of the award.

Fall explained Andy Albright had been involved with a lot of things.

“He showed great personality, work ethic — that’s kind of who we stand for and who we want to represent.”

Donations are being accepted for the scholarship and may be sent in through cash or

check. Checks can be made out to the Freshmen Council and dropped off at the West Student Office Space in the Memorial Union.

Hoefer was first encouraged to apply to the Freshmen Council during his freshman year at Iowa State. Beginning as a regular committee member, Hoefer went on to become president of the Council in November 2011.

“The biggest thing about Freshmen Council is that it really prepares the freshman class to become the leaders of Iowa State in the future. A lot of Freshmen Council members will go on to be GSB leaders, leaders in Dance Marathon; we’ve had people that have gone on to be the Student Representatives for the Board of Regents. It’s a really great way to develop leadership skills, and get a good start,” Hoefer explained.

Fall applied to be on the fundraising committee during her freshmen year.

“I absolutely love Freshmen Council,” Fall said. “It has opened me up to so many different opportunities, and after my freshman year, I knew I wanted to continue and do more for Freshmen Council as a whole. I applied to be a co-chair, and at that time, we had applicants for the brand-new committee of special events.”

Editorial

Black Friday should be on Wednesday Thanksgiving is over a week past, and exactly one week ago was the sometimes long awaited, sometimes fearfully dreaded, postholiday pastime of Black Friday. Known to all, loved by some, hated by many, this shopping tradition has been the busiest day of the year for retail since 2005. It’s the day of maddening sales and delectable discounts that each year kicks off the Christmas shopping season.

The day has taken some violent turns for the worse, however, in the past years. Black Friday is now known for its insane customers clawing, biting, and sometimes brawling for that overly-discounted TV, iPod, or pair of jeans that buyers are convinced they absolutely must purchase at 4 a.m. at a certain store.

Does anyone else find it as ironic as we do that Americans choose the day after Thanksgiving — in which we are supposed to be thankful for all the things we already have — to go out and punch our fellow citizens just to get the newest and cheapest item we don’t already possess? We hope everyone can see the insanity.

We may have found a solution to these contradictory traditions.

Black Friday should be moved to the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and become Black Wednesday.

Think about it. Now, we can all go out, fight to the death for items, bring them home triumphantly and wrap them eagerly all on Wednesday. So, when Thanksgiving comes around the next day, we can add those prized possessions to our “what we are thankful for” list.

No longer will we have the problem of thinking to ourselves, “Oh crap, I should have been thankful for this yesterday, but I hadn’t yet beat someone for it yet.” There will also be no more planning, scheming and fighting while the blessing is being said over dinner. Grandma won’t yell at you to put down those shopping ads and come play gin rummy.

Changing the tradition to Black Wednesday may be the biggest blessing America has seen since the invention of covering the sweet potatoes with melted marshmallows.

Everyone will be able to enjoy all that Thanksgiving has to offer without the added stress of game plans, bank accounts, and possibly throwing up all the creamed corn consumed only a few hours previously while sprinting up and down shopping aisles.

Let’s change tradition for the sake of all Thanksgivings to come because let’s face it: Americans can’t get enough of cheap deals, early mornings and the chance at a good fist fight in the middle of Wal-Mart.

Courtesy photo Dankbar’s experience after traveling to Honduras for a cultural immersion trip opened her eyes to understanding the implications behind the food system. She encourages students to ‘take some time to think their food choices through’ because those choices ultimately have effects on our bodies.

Consider your food’s origins Knowing how what you eat was produced is important

O

ver Thanksgiving break, I went down to Honduras for a cultural immersion trip. We were up in the mountains in small, rural villages. We stayed in one village that didn’t even have clean drinking water.

It was a very eye opening experience for me.

One of the interesting things I gave thought to during this trip is the complexity of our food system.

Before this semester, I had never given much thought as to where my food comes from.

I thought I was better off not knowing. This semester, I have learned more about where our food comes from in a class and through this traveling experience. The more I have learned the more I have realized that it is something that I should be conscious about.

It is the same logic as choosing to eat healthy. Our bodies are not garbage disposals. We should know what we are putting into them. This could mean different things to different people (example: carnivores vs. vegetarians).

I am not going to tell you what to eat; I’m just saying you should consider thinking through your food choices.

Before I went to Honduras, I knew coffee, fruit, tobacco and other things come from Central America, but I never thought of what the production of these goods looks like. As we drove through the mountains, there would be whole mountainsides covered in coffee plants.

By Hannah.Dankbar @iowastatedaily.com We had plenty of opportunities to see these plants up close. We also had lots of chances to try the fresh produce. We picked oranges right off the trees and tried fresh bananas, sugar cane and cilantro. I couldn’t bring myself to buy oranges in the States once I got back because they were just so good there.

To give you an idea of how much of these things they produce, here are some numbers: 7,818,920 metric tons of sugar cane, 229,368 metric tons of coffee, and 508,941 metric tons of corn are harvested each year. Especially where I was, people’s income came from their farming. It is typical of developing countries to have agriculture-based economies.

While we drove, I had a lot of time to think.

I thought about how disappointing it is that we do not have that fresh produce here. I started thinking about how all of this food has to be transported and most likely blasted with all sorts of chemicals before we can get it in the States.

come more accepting of the fact that food has to be “cleaned” with chemicals. This also made organic coffee seem a little less appealing.

Another interesting thing was to meet the farmers and learn about their lifestyles. There is a big push for this in the United States right now, especially with meat products, but it was cool at dinner to know the people who grew our meal.

I like to buy local in the States, but I usually buy from a grocery store just for convenience.

As I walked through the produce section of HyVee when I returned, I found myself thinking about all of the people I had met and wondering where the fruits and vegetables I was looking at had come from.

It was a great learning opportunity to see where some of our food comes from. It was one of the many eye opening experiences I had while I was down there.

After that trip, I have a few changes I want to make, and being more conscious of my food choices is one of those changes. Eating less processed food and looking for local products are things I tried to implement in my life, but I feel more motivation to do so after this experience.

What you eat may seem like an important decision, but if you really think about it, it isn’t so simple. I encourage you to take some time and really think your choices through and the effects of those choices. Who knows. You might just learn something.

Secession

Reelection disturbs national unity States should have right to secede with large majority vote

A

s some of you may have heard, citizens from 11 of the United States have presented enough signatures to the White House for the president to make an official declaration on the petition for secession. The White House allows anyone to submit a petition but will only make an official response if the petition accrues greater than 25,000 signees. So far, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas have crossed the given petition threshold. More are nearing it.

Is it not obvious that with the exception of Ohio and Florida (barely), these are all red states, the color of the nonwinner in the presidential election?

After every presidential election, there is always a backlash of resentment, where secession petitions begin to appear, but this is the first time it has happened in the United States with such great magnitude as to require the White House to make an official statement on the matter.

As of Nov. 26, over 918,000 total signatures have been included from all 50 states. Realistically, General information: The Iowa State Daily is an independent student newspaper established in 1890 and written, edited, and sold by students

By Ian.Timberlake @iowastatedaily.com this isn’t a lot when you compare it to the 300 million population.

Though, it is still more citizens than the residence of six individual states.

To be honest, I find the signees of these petitions to be both lazy and, quite frankly, unappreciative.

We live in a nation that has arguably the most beautifully written constitution and Bill of Rights — a near work of art. If secessionists want to leave so bad, they have every right to move away; although, they already know this is a bad idea.

Why? Because they already know there isn’t another nation in the world that would both fit their needs as (in this case) a conservative and simultaneously give them opportunity to voice their secession opinion in a nonincriminating manner.

Firstly, no where in the Constitution does it allow for a state to secede if they so choose.

A new amendment would have to be made for a peaceful secession to take place. This requires a two-thirds vote by the House and Senate, followed by 38 of 50 states’

vote of approval.

Unlikely, I know.

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia even wrote, “If there was any Constitutional issue resolved by the Civil War, it is that there is no right to secede.”

We’re technically a union, not a confederacy.

However, I still believe the right should be granted to a state.

If this amendment existed, I would think at least a three-quarter state vote for secession would be adequate in determining state decision.

No state has come remotely close to even a one in ten margin.

Texas has the greatest signee turnout and still only accounts for 0.45 percent of its population.

Alaska hasn’t reached the 25,000 vote mark but sustains the highest percentage of signees at 1.7 percent. This is hardly a majority, let alone three-quarter.

If I were to continue down this long road of unlikelihood and entertain the thought of a state leaving the Union, there would be an unbelievable number of obstacles to overcome in order to become an officially separate, yet functional, nation.

Any federal jurisdiction, including military, would have to be absolved and/or relocated. A new constitution must be written (provided multiple states join).

road crews, and legislatures would have to be created and conformed to the new law of the land. To put it loosely, it would be chaos.

Still, if the citizens of a state understand this and wish to secede, more power to them. I guess. If our nation went as far as to amend the Constitution to allow for secession, and a state (or states) acted upon that right, it might actually be mutually beneficial.

They would be happy in getting what they wanted, and I would be happy to have let go a state that doesn’t wish to be a part of the United States. Trade will probably continue with the exception of added tariffs.

This is, of course, if the citizens within the state don’t go into civil war over the vote for secession.

Every four years when a new president is elected, we see a turnout of secession petitions. By in large, I find this petition to be an accurate representation to the number of uninformed sore losers that exist within our country.

Even though it is nonsensical and would require a massive amount of legislation, I still believe states should be given the right to secede, given overwhelming majority vote.

Michael Moreno didn’t get much sleep after last season’s dual against Iowa.

In Iowa’s 27-9 dual win at Hilton Coliseum last season, Moreno was pinned by eventual national runnerup Derek St. John in 4:38 of the 157-pound match. Even though Moreno admitted to typically losing sleep the nights of duals, this one was different.

“It was also a lot of embarrassment and disappointment after last year’s meet, but I remember I went home and I didn’t even go to sleep that night,” Moreno said. “I was in bed ‘til like 3 [a.m.], then I called one of my teammates and he was up still, so we just went to McDonald’s.”

Moreno, who is now 6-0 at 165 pounds, will be leading Iowa State (0-1) against No. 3 Iowa (5-0) on Saturday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Iowa has continued its dominance in the rivalry, which is part of the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series, with eight straight dual victories.

ISU coach Kevin Jackson said the biggest difference in Moreno from last year is his overall commitment to wrestling.

“That has to happen for everyone in that you’re 100 percent committed — on the mat, off the mat, in the classroom,” Jackson said. “[Moreno] just has more confidence, he believes in himself and it’s showing in practice.

“How you train every single day is going to be how you perform.”

The Cyclones have not performed well out of the gate with a sluggish performance in a 22-13 loss to Old Dominion last Sunday.

Ryak Finch has been one of the wrestlers feeling pressure. The 125-pounder took

third place at the Harold Nichols Open — which he had won the last two seasons — before losing to Old Dominion’s Jerome Robinson.

For this dual, Finch will be facing two-time national champion and current No. 1 Matt McDonough, against whom he put up a fight in a 6-0 loss in last season’s dual.

“He goes hard, that’s what he does,” Finch said of McDonough, who is 105-4 as a Hawkeye. “He’s known for going hard and that’s going to be something I’m ready for.”

Finch said he has been working on better handling the bottom position with assistant coach Troy Nickerson, who was a dominant rider as a four-time AllAmerican at Cornell. Last season, McDonough rode Finch for 2:44.

Another marquee match will be at 133 pounds, where true freshman John Meeks will face the second topfive opponent — No. 3 Tony Ramos — of his young collegiate career.

After losing to No. 4 Joe Colon of Northern Iowa in a 5-4 decision in the 133-pound title bout of the Harold Nichols Open, Meeks admitted to having jitters in his dual loss last Sunday.

However, Jackson said a win against Ramos would be a big confidence boost for Meeks. “[A win] would put him back to the mindframe that he already has — he’s a winner; he’s a champion,” Jackson said of Meeks. “I think he got caught up in the moment a little bit ... but I don’t worry about him.”

Jackson said Meeks, who went undefeated in four years at Des Moines Roosevelt High School, was not given a redshirt because he believes he is the best wrestler at 133 pounds who can compete at the highest level this season.

Straube is an important player to have on the court, her teammates were able to step up too.

Back-to-back losses in Las Vegas resulted in a tough week of practice for the ISU men’s basketball team leading into Saturday’s game against BYU. On Monday, ISU coach Fred Hoiberg said this week’s practice was going to be “physical and very demanding.” The team played physically in Las Vegas the week before against two ranked teams — UNLV and Cincinnati — both ending in losses.

What Hoiberg was pleased with was the rebounding numbers, which, after the first game of the season, was a big concern.

“Our guys are going every time,” Hoiberg said. “They’re doing their job in that area of the game. Now it’s about putting together a complete package where we’re going to execute our offense, defense and rebounding game plan, and again I’m confident we’ll get there.”

After the two games in Las Vegas, Iowa State now ranks No. 2 in the nation in rebounds with an average of 48 per game. Last year, Iowa State’s squad only averaged 36 rebounds per game.

Brigham Young (BYU) may not have Jimmer Fredette — which Will Clyburn laughed about when he was asked if it would be easier to guard the team without him in the lineup — but it still has a key piece from the team that captured the nation’s attention a few years ago.

Brandon Davies, a 6-foot-9, 235-pound forward, was the secondleading scorer on that team, but was deemed ineligible following a violation of the student conduct-code.

The Cyclones won the match 3-2. Iowa State is now on a school record-tying win streak of 11 matches after defeating IPFW.

ISU holds off home upset

By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com It was not easy, and at times it was not pretty, but Iowa State is headed for the second round of the NCAA tournament.

No. 15-seeded Iowa State, now on a school record-tying win streak of 11 matches, defeated I-P Fort Wayne in five sets (25-11, 23-25, 22-25, 25-13, 15-7) on Thursday night at Hilton Coliseum in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

In the sets the Cyclones (21-7, 13-3 Big 12) won, they held the Mastodons (25-7, 12-4 Summit League) to hitting percentages of .054 in the first set, .056 in the fourth, and .045 in the fifth. ISU coach Christy JohnsonLynch feels that the key was Iowa State’s ability to serve and pass.

“We served them off the court like they were

serving us off the court in the games we lost,” JohnsonStraube Lynch s a i d .

“They w e r e passing poorly and getting aced Landwehr and just having trouble getting any offense going.”

After the third set, facing elimination, Libero Kristen Hahn challenged her teammates and asked who wanted the win more. The two sets lost were the first sets Iowa State has lost at home in its post season history.

“I just kept reminding everyone we can stay relaxed,” Hahn said. “I was trying to lighten the mood. We play a lot better when we’re having fun and you could tell in our faces we were really tense. [I was] just reminding people to smile and just to have fun.”

Iowa State’s second round

Photo: Jonathan Krueger/Iowa State Daily Senior forward Will Clyburn goes up for a layup against North Carolina A&T on Nov. 20 at Hilton Coliseum. Clyburn was five-for-nine on 2-point field goals in the 86-57 victory.

>>BASKETBALL.p5 Davies is now the secondleading scorer on this team as well, averaging 18.6 points per game along with 7.7 rebounds per game.

“He’s very crafty, and he’s left-handed,” Clyburn said.

“It’s always hard checking a left-handed opponent. He throws a lot of fakes and he’s very crafty.”

This year, the Cougars (5-2) are led by a different guard in Tyler Haws, who didn’t score a point last year. Haws leads the team with 22.6 points per

game along with six rebounds and three assists per game.

“He’s a heck of a player, and he’s really effective,” Hoiberg said of Haws. “I know he’s a heck of a player, and Davies is a load on the block.”

BYU ranks No. 8 in the country in assists per game, one area in which Iowa State has struggled. Its assist-toturnover ratio is 131-to-91 on the season, marginally above Iowa State’s 93-to-96.

Hoiberg has reiterated that his entire team, not just point guard Korie Lucious, needs to improve in that department.

“I think the biggest thing is making safe basketball plays,” Hoiberg said. “We’re trying to hit too many home runs and we’ve got too many weapons on the offensive end to take those types of chances. We’ve got to get the ball moving from side to side and our numbers show when we do that, we’re much more successful.”

Hoiberg said both teams are expecting to get on track after tough losses, but believes his squad has what it takes to win.

Tip off for Saturday’s game is at 1 p.m. at Hilton Coliseum.

opponent will be North Carolina, who defeated California in four sets on Thursday night. The Cyclones have only faced the Tarheels (26-5, 16-4 ACC) one time in 1987, a 3-0 ISU win.

One thing North Carolina head coach Joe Sagula knows about the Cyclones is that they are a highly efficient team.

“They play really tough; really good defense,” Sagula said. “They’ve got some good offensive weapons in the middle as well and good balance.

Obviously I think Iowa State, with the home crowd, has a good plus.”

In watching North Carolina’s victory against California, Johnson-Lynch senses a lot of chemistry and belief from the Tarheel squad.

She also sees similarities to her own team in the way North Carolina can dig the ball and transition on the attack to the middle and right

Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne was a tough first round test on Thursday night, handing Iowa State its first-ever set losses at Hilton Coliseum in the postseason. After the match, IPFW coach Kelley Hartley Hutton had good things to say about the Cyclones and their fans: “Certainly a tough environment to play, a fun environment to play,” Hartley Hutton said. “Since we rolled into town, nothing but hospitality and nice people. It was a really great experience.”

Jake Calhoun, sports editor (50-41)

Northern Illinois — I don’t know what’s worse: Getting blown out by Kentucky or getting beaten at the last second by Iowa.

Stanford — If a Tree falls in the Pac-12 title game and Oregon wasn’t there to chop it down, does UCLA still matter?

Kansas State — Bill Snyder and Mack Brown are in for a pissing match.

That is, if either of them can still pee.

Tulsa — Speaking of pee jokes, the Golden Hurricane will drench the Knights en route to a C-USA title.

Alabama — Wait, Missouri didn’t win the SEC East?

Nebraska — If Bo Pelini can get a Big Mac at Burger King, I should be able to get a McChicken at Wendy’s.

Florida State — If Pam Ward calls this game, I’m going to throw my roommate’s TV out the window.

Dean Berhow-Goll, assistant sports editor (58-33)

Northern Illinois — I’ll take the Huskies in this #MACtion showdown.

Stanford — I think Andrew Luck is really good.

Kansas State — Is Bill Snyder the coach on those Toyota commercials?

UCF — I’m going to be pissed if this game runs on TBS instead of Hot Tub Time Machine.

Alabama — Nick Saban cons his way to another national title game. Is it 2014 yet?

Nebraska — Bo Pelini is a sandwich at Jimmy John’s. #bopelinifunfacts

Florida State — ACC football is a punchline.

Alex Halsted, assistant sports editor (54-37)

Northern Illinois — The Huskies probably wish they could get that Iowa game back. They’ll win the MAC title at least.

Stanford — The Trees handled UCLA last weekend and although it’ll be tough to do the same, I think Stanford still wins.

Kansas State — No national title for the Wildcats, but they still probably need this to guarantee a BCS bowl.

Tulsa — The Golden Hurricane won this game the first time around and they’ll take the C-USA title with another win.

Alabama — Winner takes on Notre Dame in the title game. Nick Saban’s team might be too much to handle for the Bulldogs.

Nebraska — Bo Pelini ordered a Big Mac at Burger King, and got one. #bopelinifunfacts

Florida State — The Seminoles let me down last weekend, but this one won’t be close.

Stephen Koengisfeld, sports online editor (61-30)

Northern Illinois — Oh what a game of MACtion this will be.

Stanford — NCAA Football ‘12. The mascot battles. I revert to those, yet again.

Kansas State — I’m not sure I’m comfortable watching Bill Snyder do all that heavy lifting in the Big 12 commercial...

Tulsa — Making a pee joke would be one too many for this Gridiron.

Georgia — They don’t have Johnny Football, but they have what it takes to knock that smug look off of Nick Saban’s face.

Nebraska — Bo Pelini can kill two stones with one bird. #bopelinifunfacts

Florida State — The ACC, where Pam Ward commentates and everyone turns the channel to some MACtion football.

Guest Pick: Dan Cole, sports reporter

Kent State — My eighth grade teacher’s last name was Kent. Believe me when I tell you, she sweated more than anyone.

UCLA — I’ll see Jake’s tree riddle and raise him a, “Does a bear crap in the woods?”

Kansas State — Collin Klein told me he’d be sporting a special Calvin Klein jockstrap. Propellers are involved.

UCF — UCF stands for Ultimate Cat Flamethrowers. I don’t know what “Tulsa” stands for, but they lose.

Alabama — This is the only pick I’m answering seriously so I don’t lose my job or get institutionalized.

Nebraska — Bo Pelini sounds like that dude from the Dos Equis commercials.

Florida State — Cheer up, guys! If Georgia Tech is anything like ITT Tech, then its students aren’t athletic.

ISU hopes to use momentum this weekend

By Clint.Cole @iowastatedaily.com It’s been almost two months since they’ve done so, but the Cyclones are finally heading into a weekend with the momentum from a sweep the previous weekend.

The No. 13 ISU hockey team (11-10-1) hosts No. 16 Central Oklahoma this Friday and Saturday night after sweeping West Virginia in Ames last weekend. The Cyclones defeated the Mountaineers in blowout fashion Friday night 7-2 and won a close one 2-1 on Saturday.

Central Oklahoma (10-80) is going into the weekend with the momentum from a sweep last weekend as well.

Last weekend, the Bronchos beat No. 17 Arizona at home by a score of 3-1 in both games of the sweep. The Bronchos also beat Lindenwood once more at home this season and are 3-1 against the Lions this season.

ISU coach Al Murdoch

called Central Oklahoma a “lunch-bucket team” because of its work ethic in games. On Sept. 28 and 29, the Bronchos swept No. 9 Lindenwood on the road by a score of 4-3 in both games.

Murdoch’s theme for practice this week was simple: “Take the puck to the net, and don’t leave the net until it’s in the net.”

The Cyclones have been doing a lot of drills this week that require them to go to the net for the rebound after taking the initial shot and working until the play is dead.

“I don’t have last year to go off of; I played with the D-III team, but I think that might be a little bit to my advantage,” said goalie Scott Ismond. “Anytime you play against teams like this, you really get up and really excited.”

The Cyclones take on the Bronchos at 7:30 p.m. Friday, and at 8 p.m. on Saturday. Both games will be played at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.
