Elections

Youth voter turnout key to elections

By Solomon.Keithley @iowastatedaily.com Youth voters are extremely important to each and every election. The youth voters are the future of our country and cast their votes on who they want to set them up for success.

Election Day was full of long lines, waiting and people eager and ready to cast their vote.

The polling places were full from the time they opened until closing at 9 p.m. and even beyond at some places.

Emily Bennett, sophomore in pre-business, spoke about her voting experience and the turnout.

“I went around two o’clock when I thought it wouldn’t be as busy to vote,” Bennett said. “But I still had to wait in line for 30 to 45 minutes. My friends went around dinner time, and I heard they had to wait over two hours to vote, so I’m glad I went when I did.”

Panel explains citizens’ rights

By Megan.Swindell @iowastatedaily.com

In the Knowing Your Rights for Campus Wrongs seminar on Wednesday, the four panelists focused on citizens’ rights in city regulations, criminal defense, drug charges, drunk driving defense and landlord-tenant problems.

The panelists were Matthew Goodman, city council member and an ISU alumnus who is a part owner of Fighting Burrito, Mike Bootsma, lecturer of accounting at Iowa State, Michael Levine, attorney for ISU Student Legal Services, and Matt Lindholm, attorney in the Law Offices of Gourley, Rehkemper & Lindholm.

Clinic offers experience

By Leah.Hansen @iowastatedaily.com

Sophomores behind the pharmacy desk, nurses describing aches and pains, students giggling and enjoying the machines of the physical therapy room — this could only be describing the Student Health Mock Clinic night.

“We do it every year, but this is only our second time,” said Michelle Hendricks, director of Thielen Student Health Center. “We are building the tradition. The turnout this time was even better than the first time, so I think the staff that participated the first time have talked really well of the experience.”

Beth Wessel-Kroeschell and Lisa Heddens were re-elected once again Tuesday for the Iowa House of Representatives Districts 45 and 46.

The two races remained close as results continued to come in from the 9 p.m. poll closing, with winners not being declared till after midnight.

“It was the Ames precincts that still had lines at 9 o’clock,” said Lucy Martin, Story County Auditor, who explained that they were dealing with many new registered voters.

>>REPRESENTATIVES.p1 and the majority of District 45 is as well.

The county auditor’s office is still working to tally the number of newly registered voters. They are also working on the number of how many chose to register on election night.

Martin explained that many locations, such as Maple Hall, Memorial Lutheran Church and Union Drive Community Center, still had people in line at 9 p.m. registering to vote.

Anyone in line by 9 p.m. was allowed to vote, but processing new voters took time.

Wessel-Kroeschell will be serving her fourth term for District 45. Also, Heddens will be serving her sixth term for District 46.

Wessel-Kroeschell campaigned against Republican candidate, Dane Nealson and Libertarian candidate, Eric Cooper. She ended the night with a total of 8,606 votes compared to Nealson’s 5,054

and Cooper’s 877.

Heddens ran against Iowa State student and Republican candidate, Stephen Quist. Heddens ended the night with 8,764 votes to Quist’s 5,178.

Before the absentee ballots were tallied at the end of the night, the results between the candidates remained close. WesselKroeschell led Nealson by 669 votes and Heddens led Quist by 661 votes.

“I think that’s a testament to how our Get the Vote Out really worked,” said Abhishek Vemuri, president of the College Democrats, about the Democrats’ effort to get students to vote early.

President of the College Republicans, Kyle Etzel, felt that the early voting did the opposite for student candidate, Quist.

“I think the hardest part for him [Quist] was the early voting,” Etzel said.

“It was just not enough time to get out his information.”

Quist was running for office for the first time, and Etzel fears that students who

>>VOTING.p1 Some people did not make it out to vote for various reasons, such as long lines, work or being too busy.

“Some of my friends didn’t go because they had to work right after class,” Bennett said.

“And when they heard that the lines were two hours long, they didn’t want to go.”

Steffen Schmidt, university professor of political science, gave his view on why people missed out on voting.

“People don’t vote because they are sick; they forget; they are too busy,” Schmidt said.

“And, also, because many are just not interested in politics. Some don’t vote because they don’t like the choices of candidates. Others don’t vote because they believe their vote won’t actually make a difference.”

Schmidt said he believes that Obama won because of the youth voter turnout.

“Obama won because young voters turned out in huge numbers,” Schmidt said.

“The GOP, in fact, is very worried about losing the next generation. In New Hampshire, it was mostly young voters and women in record numbers who brought in a Democratic landslide of two women elected to the House of Representatives, a new woman governor and bunch of Democrats in state offices. The turnout was excellent and far greater than predicted. The turnout in Iowa

was good, and ISU students also did a great job registering and then voting either early, absentee or on election night.”

The lines were long, and some were wrapped around outside of buildings, but voters still hung in there to make their voice heard and cast their vote. It was a great turnout at the polls on Tuesday, and hopefully, Schmidt said, the turnout will continue in the future.

Vemuri stated that Wessel-Kroeschell and Heddens’ “established” political careers may have given them “more of a reliable record” for students to connect with.

“It was awesome to have a student running,” Etzel said, who believes that Nealson and Quist will “remain active” in politics.

“They care too much to not stay active.”

Martin stated that it appeared same day registration in the state of Iowa may have gone up on Tuesday, though they will not know for sure for several days. She believes that this increase may have come from voters being more aware of same day registration within the state.

The Democrats kept control of the Iowa Senate with 26 seats to the Republicans’ 24. The Republicans will remain in control in the House of Representatives with 59 seats to the Democrats’ 40 seats and one seat still vacant.

Lecture

Economist to discuss future after election

By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com In light of the Nov. 6 elections, the issue of America’s economy is prime conversation for every citizen.

Republican Chief Economist for the Senate Banking Committee, Mike Piwowar, will discuss the financial future for the United States at 11 a.m. Friday in Gerdin Business Building, Room 1148.

The lecture entitled “Financial Regulation: The Unfinished Business” will discuss a major piece of legislation passed in financial services industry, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The act required many financial rules to change, which impacted financial decisions of every American household.

“When President [Barack] Obama signed the act in 2010, rather than being the end of a financial reform, it was just the beginning of change in financial regulation,” Piwowar said.

As well as the major effect of the 2010 DoddFrank Act, Piwowar will discuss the future of the United States with the results of the 2012

elections.

“The status quo is the Democrats control the White House and Senate, and the Republicans control House of Representatives,” Piwowar said.

Piwowar “[We’ll look at how] the impact of changes to existing law and new laws being enacted [will look for the future].”

Piwowar received his Bachelor of Arts from Pennsylvania State University in 1990, a Master of Business Administration from Georgetown University in 1994, and doctorate in finance from Pennsylvania State in 1998.

From here, Piwowar was assistant professor of finance at Iowa State from 1998-2004.

He then continued on to be a senior financial economist for the Securities and Exchange Commission Office of Economic Analysis.

Piwowar later went on to work at an economics and consulting firm, Securities Litigation and Consulting Group, Inc. The White House was Piwowar’s next stop on the ladder of his many accomplishments. He

Bootsma followed with an explanation of the Iowa Code 562A, which entails Iowa landlord and tenant law.

“Landlords need to give 24-hour notice if they plan to enter your apartment,” Bootsma said. “There is legal action you can take if they do not give you notice.”

In regard to delinquent rent, Iowa law requires a landlord provide three days notice. After that, the landlord then can file for an eviction, which occurs no earlier than seven days.

>>MOCK CLINIC.p1 were invited to the Student Health Center for dinner, discussion, and tours of their related field of study.

“We know how important [the Mock Clinic] is for students who are interested in pursuing a professional school after they graduate from Iowa State. They have so many experiences [because] they’re trying to build to build their resume so that they can be competitive for getting into professional schools,” Hendricks said.

Students were first split into groups of physician, pharmacy or physical therapy based off their interest. There, they ate dinner with a staff member from student health in the corresponding field and were able to ask questions and have an open discussion.

joined the White House with a one-year program in 2008.

Working with regulatory reform issues, the first six months were spent working with the President George W. Bush administration and the second six months with Obama’s administration.

Just when his year was up, in the fall of 2008, something bad happened; America had a full-fledged financial crisis.

Piwowar said he found the financial aspect riveting.

“When my year was up at the time, the Obama administration was going to start working on that [financial crisis]. I found it fascinating, and that’s how I ended up on Senate Banking Committee. I’ve always followed my interests,” Piwowar said.

As to how his chain of important positions began, Piwowar’s journey began with an early spark of interest in market micro-structure research.

“I found it fascinating to understand how markets actually worked. I sort of followed my interest in terms of research,” Piwowar said.

“Academic appointment at Iowa State

“Take pictures of your apartment, and ask for a sheet to write down what was wrong with the space before you move in,” Bootsma added to his list of advice.

All renters involved should take time to slowly read the entire written contract, added Levine. “You really need to think about long and hard about who you’re renting with. If everybody else bails on you on that lease, you’re responsible for the others, and that’s a really critical concept.”

Lindholm ended the panel with a transition into legal rights regarding drug and drunk driving charges.

Lindholm had a volunteer interact with him in a conversation an officer might have with an intoxicated driver.

He asked the volunteer if he had been drinking and if he would take a field sobriety test. The volunteer admitted to drinking, for the sake of the example, and agreed to take the test.

“You never want to admit something to a cop,” Lindholm said after the scenario. “As soon as you admit to drinking, you have slurred speech, watery, bloodshot eyes, and you smell of alcohol.”

Additionally, in Iowa there is no penalty for not taking the field sobri-

“We think [the Mock Clinic] can really help provide a meaningful experience for them,” Hendricks said about the night. “The interaction with professionals in the fields that they’re looking at for their professional work is an opportunity to ask more, specifically what was their path, what did they love, what was unexpected, some of that kind of stuff which I think can be really helpful to them.”

In the physician’s group, nurses acted as patients coming into the student health center so that other nurses and doctors could show a typical run-down of questions and procedures with a patient.

“It’s a little insight into student health as a health care niche; that’s another cool opportunity that we like to build,” Hendricks said. “I love student health. I think it’s an area of practice that a lot of upcoming professionals might not have thought about as a unique practice specialty area. This is a chance to let them get exposure to that.”

Hendricks was very pleased with the turn out for the second Mock Clinic night. Almost 60 students came to the event.

Students were also very pleased with the experience and glad that they had the chance to attend the event.

“I’m really glad [I came]. It confirmed that physical therapy is what I want to go into. It was cool to see all the aspects of it,” said Audrianne Freeman, sophomore in agricultural biochemistry.

Editorial

Iowa State Daily

Trips

The most controversial remnant of the United States’s original constitutional and federal design is the Electoral College. And although the criticism this year is more muted than usual, it is still present.

NBC, CNN and seemingly every one else filled time with analysis of the possible Electoral College paths to victory. The next day, the St. Cloud Times in St. Cloud, Minn. hosted a column that described the Electoral College as “an antiquated institution that distorts our politics and bestows great power on a handful of states while leaving the majority largely ignored.” The Scranton Times-Tribune in Scranton, Penn. said, “The new Congress should start the process of determining whether the Electoral College system has outlived its usefulness.”

Simply put, the Electoral College consists of electors chosen by the state legislatures who then vote for the president and vice president, not the people themselves. As history shows us, direct elections set the stage for political disaster.

The Founders understood this.

In contrast to our conceit that if we try something — including a political system — it will work, they drew upon the experience of the democratic city-states of ancient Greece and the Roman republic. James Madison described democracies as “spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”

Today, we find that popular election of both representatives and senators make the obstacle of divided government even more difficult to overcome. In the case of this Tuesday, popular election of the presidency would narrow the margin of victory from something like 303 to 206 Electoral College votes down to only about 700,000 votes out of nearly 118 million cast.

A large majority of Americans believe presidential elections matter more than they did previously. This year, according to Gallup, 70 percent of Americans believe the result matters more than previous years.

In 2008, 76 percent did; in 2004, 72 percent believed the result mattered more than previously. That concern was and remains up from 47 percent in 2000 and 41 percent in 1996.

If the Electoral College were not so definitive, we would perhaps have to wait much longer for the results.

Given the high importance so many Americans place on election results, and the sheer magnitude of our national problems of unemployment, the national debt, health care and other issues, an interregnum of uncertainty would delay the transition from campaigning to governing.

ith fall break looming and Christmas fast approaching, dreams of traveling over break have begun.

Ski trips and backpacking plans are what I’m hoping for during break, but as a student there’s always the concern of cost in the back of my mind.

Luckily, travel guru Matthew Kepnes, aka “Nomadic Matt,” has offered some advice for for traveling on limited resources in his blog post “The Ultimate Guide to Traveling When You Have No Money.” His constant reminder to those wishing to travel is: “You do not need to be rich to travel.”

Kepnes offers a variety of ideas for saving money to travel.

However, first and foremost is that travel needs to be your first priority if it is going to be a reality.

Many people find that they do not have “enough” to travel, but this will always be true if travel is not what you are primarily saving for.

Personally, I found saving for travel to be challenging; there will always be rent to pay, groceries to buy, etc. However, when you really make plans to travel and commit, it is much easier to save. For example, I traveled in Berlin for a month last summer, and I was very nervous about having enough money for the trip. The friend I went with and I both decided to buy our plane tickets as soon as we had the money; that way would be committed to the trip and

By Kristen.Daily @iowastatedaily.com have incentive to save. After that the saving was much simpler. Of course, it meant saying no to some extraneous and impulsive spending, but in the long run I didn’t even have to give up too many creature comforts.

Moreover, there are many ways to travel that are virtually free, and though they may seem intimidating, they are not impossible. One of these options is to work abroad. Though this may not be practical for a short trip over break, it has potential as a summer plan. You can find a list of suggested jobs in Kepnes’ blog post, as well as several websites for finding work abroad.

One of the most popular jobs abroad for Americans is teaching English, especially in Asian countries. Usually the only requirement is being fluent in English, though sometimes TESL certification is wanted.

Kepnes noted that,

is yearning for teachers and this is a job in high demand — many companies in Asia will even pay for your flight over.”

Another great idea, if you have a credit card and can be responsible, is racking up miles on a card to earn free flights.

If you’re looking to save on housing while traveling, couch surfing, hostels and house sitting can be great options.

CouchSurfing.org is a group that connects travelers with locals who are willing to give them a bed for free. I know this can sound sketchy, but I’ve had friends who have tried it successfully and saved quite a bit of money.

Plus, if you have access to a kitchen, cooking your own meals can save a lot of money. Eating out is definitely an indulgence and part of the experience of traveling, but it doesn’t mean you have to for every meal.

These are just a few useful tips and tricks for traveling on a limited budget. Personally, I would highly recommend taking any

opportunity you have to travel in college. It’s a great time to explore because you’re not tied to a job or to a certain location, and breaks during the year and summer present the opportunity for trips.

I have studied abroad and traveled in Europe with friends, and the experiences I have had are priceless. Traveling, especially in foreign countries, can help you move outside your limits and learn about new languages and cultures. It can broaden your world view and your perspective.

I, for one, will definitely be planning trips for breaks. And Iowa State even offers a variety of trips in the states and abroad.

You can check out some of these options with Study Abroad and Alternative Breaks. Why not get out and explore when you have the chance? If you want to travel, make it a priority and start planning.

“The world

Government

Remain active in down time Political involvement should not end after presidential election

I

t has finally come.

The nice peace and quiet we can all enjoy has enveloped our nation once more as a heated election has finally burned itself out. The political advertisements, the jockeying for votes, the public engagement, the discourse about how we should run our nation; it has all thankfully been put back in storage.

The sentiment of wishing the election would be over had been hanging around the country for weeks. How many times did you see the same political ad over and over and think “I wish they would just shut up,” or hear someone wishing those awful prerecorded calls would stop?

While it is true, negative television advertisements and recorded phone messages are quite the annoyance, stop and take a minute to think about what people were begging for: The election to just be over — as if it was simply an inconvenience that needed to be trudged through every few years, and not one of the few times we could actually contribute something as an individual to our country.

Think long and hard about just what has been going on in the United States over the past few months.

How many times did you hear people talking about national and international issues? How many times did you hear not only the names, but the ideas of the people who were or would be making choices that shape your nation? Maybe I am a little biased, but those seem like palatable things to listen to, if not downright useful.

The oft-quoted adage, “politics is not a spectator sport,” does not even seem to apply anymore. Millions

By Phil.Brown @iowastatedaily.com of people participated in politics as spectators. They listened to ads, maybe heard something interesting or memorable at the water cooler — heck, they may have even regurgitated a line from their favorite pundit, and cast their ballot.

Such actions do not make one a participant. While voting is often seen as the be all, end all of civic duty, it is actually the culmination of what should have been occurring for years. People should have been talking with their neighbors and friends about what this country should be doing, and how the people elected to run it are doing since the last election.

The common way of thinking about voting still, however, is as an errand to be done sometime in the beginning of November. Now that there are a few years to go until the next national election, everybody can go back to their normal lives.

Or people could actually make it a point of emphasis to see what is going on in their country, so they would not need to rely on next election’s barrage of campaign advertisements that stretch already shaky so-called “truths.” People could see what their local politicians are doing to help their communities. People could go and find out about politicians who will likely be running against an incumbent next election cycle.

In short, we could keep ourselves up to date on what is going on politically in our country until the next election and put our votes to their proper use.

We could, but most of us

probably think we have more important things going on every day, all day, for the next few years. It will probably just be easier for most of us to ignore our government, aside from a few grumbles about how this legislation is going to tax us too much or about how that senator had an affair.

After all, we are sure to see plenty of politics next time an election comes up. Why would anyone want to get a head start?

Romance

Online dating expands potential pool, proves viable

F

or the past three months, I have been experimenting with online dating. Piqued by curiosity and listening to friends’ first-hand accounts of various websites, I decided to make an OkCupid account. Recently purchased by Match.com, OkCupid is essentially the free version of many online dating sites and is arguably the largest.

Even the Boston Globe called it “the Google of online dating”; take that as you will.

The site has over 3.5 million members, recording an average of two logins per month for every member. The method of matching seems to be quite complex. Including your age, location, sexual preference and miles willing to travel, there are literally thousands of questions you can answer. You can answer as many or as little as you like, and all are neither correct nor incorrect. On a level of importance, you rank each question asked.

All being calculated, this leads to a “match percent,” “friend percent,” and “enemy percent” in the users that fall under the age, location, sexual preference and distance willing to

By Ian.Timberlake @iowastatedaily.com travel stated above.

The goal, obviously, is to narrow down the selection to people whom have a high “match” and “friend” percent and a low “enemy” percent. And it seems they do a good job of that, in my experience.

I went into this curious experiment with a fairly negative view of online dating, but I have to say that my view has severely changed. I was quite impressed with how the selection process worked and how close matches were politically, religiously, educationally, and sexually among many other things.

There were still a few hiccups, however. I warn you that I may speak discriminatorily and highly judgmentally in the next few paragraphs; and that has to do with either how I presented myself on OkCupid or how most women who use OkCupid

Courtesy photo Columnist Ian Timberlake took a chance with online dating site OkCupid and found that while some individuals it connected him with were flaky, some were great.

behave. In other words, my experience has only to do with women who were narrowed down based off my supposed personality.

A trend seemed to be severe flakiness. Regardless, if a woman’s profile says she is willing to chat with anyone and was not shy, she still was flaky — so much so it made me take every profile with a serious grain of salt.

An attribute of myself may have caused that; I am very blunt, as my profile exclaims, but whether I am the one writing the initial message, or the one receiving the initial message,

few of the women I chatted with held a conversation long enough to even get to any real “deal breakers” that weren’t already taken care of in the OkCupid questions.

As you might judge, there were (in my eyes) plenty of women on OkCupid that seemingly fit the bill as someone who might find difficulty in finding long-term relationships offline: bisexuals, atheists, overweight people, single mothers, etc. Don’t get me wrong; this isn’t the majority, but I will agree that online dating is a great place for people to meet who have a taboo attached to them, including myself.

I did go on a date with a smart, beautiful and charming woman from Des Moines. We were like-minded but our future plans simply didn’t pan out after that honestly delightful experience.

However, on two occasions, I was asked out by women who ended up backing out; and aside from my above example, a handful of other women I asked out accepted and then backed out at a later time. It was really quite disappointing.

Every woman seemingly wants her own white knight story. A mo-

ment of captured bliss bringing two people together, a sense of meaning, or even destiny. I don’t blame her. Every man wants a beautifully charming girl to traipse along around the corner and smite him, though, he will never admit to that.

Online dating does not do that, but I do know that online dating is successful. I personally know a few people who are likely to marry the person they met online, including one couple which met with over 1000 miles between them and now live together. For this reason I will keep participating. It only increases your dating pool, and is actually quite fun to take part in.

For any ladies out there who have seen or will see me on OkCupid (using my full name) and now think none of it was serious, think again.

I am currently single and looking to date, and will continue looking to date both offline and online until we find each other. Overall, I approve of online dating, and I’ll say it again, ladies: I’m single.

Attitude

Confidence-boosting poses help you fake it until you make it

O

ne of my friends recently introduced me to Technology Entertainment Design talks.

Technology Entertainment Design is a nonprofit “that promotes ideas worth spreading.”

They have a variety of scholars who discuss anything from shame to statistics of world hunger. Through their search tool you can find persuasive, ingenious, courageous, fascinating, inspiring, beautiful, funny or informative talks. You can also search by subjects such as technology or global issues.

I have started going to this site for study breaks. The talks last about 20 minutes. They aren’t like a lecture you get in a class, but they are given by leading scholars in each area.

They are informative, but also entertaining and light, which makes them perfect for a quick study break.

Amy Cuddy has become one of my favorite speakers.

She shared her story about how she was in a horrible car accident and suffered brain damage. She was not supposed to get her undergraduate degree. She worked hard to get back into school, but felt like she wasn’t supposed to be there because that was what she was told. She wanted to drop out at one point, and somebody told her to do every talk she was asked to do

By Hannah.Dankbar @iowastatedaily.com until she didn’t have to fake it anymore.

Now she is a professor and researcher at Harvard Business School focusing on how nonverbal behaviors and snap judgements affect people.

She has been lucky enough to be able to share her experiences with her students and give them similar advice.

If that is not inspiration, I am not sure what is.

One of her recent talks was about how a couple of different poses can boost your confidence. She calls this power posing. She explains how if you act powerful, you will be powerful. How to start is by finding a quiet spot before you head into a stressful situation, like a job interview, and hold one of the poses for two minutes. Doing this will increase your level of testosterone and decrease your level of cortisol (the stress hormone), making you less stressed and more assertive, basically preparing you to take on any interview.

One of the poses is the “Wonder Woman” pose. Stand with feet spread out, hands on your hips and chin up. Google

a picture of Wonder Woman.

The other pose is sitting down. Sit down in a chair, lean back, put your feet up on the table and hands behind your head so your elbows are out.

Hold either of these poses for two minutes, and the chemical reactions will take care of the rest.

This is something to think about doing before you go into an interview. (It’s probably a bad idea to strike one of these poses during the interview) The purpose of Cuddy’s study was to find out if our

bodies can change our minds.

As a professor, Cuddy noticed that the students who participated the most made their presence known right when they walked into the class, while the quieter students did not. She wondered if the quieter students opened up their bodies more if they would show more confidence. That’s exactly what she found.

Cuddy talks about faking it until you become it. She talks about how small changes like these poses can be a small step in making big changes.

As college students we idealize about going out into the world and being powerful and successful. Cuddy is telling us how all of us can make that happen.

At the end of her talk, Cuddy asked for the audience to share this with people they know. She noted that the people who need it the most are the people who have no resources, no technology, no status and no power. So go find at least one friend who you think could use this information and tell them about it.

Interviewing season is in full swing at Iowa State.

Whether you are looking for a summer internship or a full time job for after you graduate your interviewing skills can make a huge difference. Keep in mind what nonverbal messages you want to send, and be aware of the ones you are actually sending.

Learning to Think Like Scientists Does Our Future Depend on It?

SUSAN HENDRICH

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2012 - 7 PM SOUTH BALLROOM, MEMORIAL UNION

Suzanne Hendrich, a University Professor and current president of the Faculty Senate, will engage the audience in a discussion about “thinking like a scientist” both in our daily lives and in solving some of our greatest global challenges, such as food security, poverty, and building community. She emphasizes the need to clearly define problems, seek evidence, make evidencebased decisions, consider the broad impacts of decisions, and seek multiple perspectives. Hendrich teaches in the areas of food-borne toxicants and nutrition and conducts research on the effects of dietary and botanical constituents on gut health and inflammation. She joined the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition in 1987 and is a Lura M. Lovell Fellow working on dietary supplement safety education.

Our Black Year: One Family's Quest To Buy Black in America's Racially Divided Economy is the story of their experiment in conscious consumerism. Anderson discovered that black businesses lag behind businesses of all other racial and ethnic groups in every measure of success. In the Asian community, a dollar circulates amonglocal shop owners, banks, and business professionals for up to 28 days. In the Jewish community, a dollar circulates for 19 days. In the African-American community, a dollar is gone within six hours. She will discuss her "Empowerment Experiment," and look at some of the challenges African American entrepreneurs face.

Family ties provide familiar face in crowd

By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com Standing at 6-foot-1, Mackenzie Bigbee rises above the net and slams the ball to the court as her older sister stands at her courtside seat, raises her hand and cheers.

As a true freshman, Mackenzie has played in 80 of Iowa State’s 85 total sets this season. And much of the way her older sister, Emmery Bigbee, has been there for support.

“A lot of people say, ‘I bet she went there because of her sister or her parents,’” Mackenzie said of her decision to become a Cyclone. “That wasn’t a determining factor for me; Iowa State had the volleyball program and they had the academic program I wanted.

“Emmery being here as well was just an added bonus.”

Mackenzie arrived at Iowa State with a long list of accomplishments, including being named the 2012 Des

Moines Register Female Athlete of the Year.

The Williamsburg, Iowa, native was a multi-sport athlete in high school and averaged 5.84 kills per set in volleyball her senior season.

During her freshman year of high school, Mackenzie first started getting looked at by ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch along with other respected volleyball programs including Northern Iowa and Nebraska, both of which would eventually join Iowa State in the final three.

Johnson-Lynch was well aware that Mackenzie’s sister already attended Iowa State when she made an offer following her junior year of high school.

That knowledge, however, wasn’t used as a crutch.

“I didn’t want to take for granted that her sister went here and there were connections,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We also wanted to make sure that she felt, like we did, that there were a lot of other good reasons to come here.”

Mackenzie had plenty of reasons after making several visits to Ames.

Aside from what she could get on the court with a consistent top-25 program and playing time, she would be close to home with her older sister even closer.

This season as a freshman starter, Mackenzie has excelled. She currently averages 2.96 kills per set, placing her at No. 8 in the Big 12 in that category, which makes her the only freshman in the top 10.

As a freshman student-athlete with a demanding major in engineering, time to relax for Mackenzie has become essential.

“I think both of us have tough majors, and so we have a lot of dates that stress us out,” Emmery, senior in graphic design, said. “It’s good for both of us to escape from everything else that’s going on.”

The sisters, who played volleyball together for a season at Williamsburg High School when Mackenzie was a freshman and Emmery a senior, often see each other at least once a week.

“Sometimes I’ll get sick of the dorms, so I’ll just go and hang out at her house or I’ll have a lot stress going

Commentary

Equal chance to showcase talents A fter one exhibition game, it’s hard to get a handle on how this ISU men’s basketball team is going to play this season.

Much to the same tune as last year, they have a lot of learning to do. That can be expected when two of your main pieces haven’t played a game in front of a real crowd in more than a year and a half along with two freshmen who haven’t yet experienced the pressures of the Big 12.

Here are a few things you, as a fan, will want to keep an eye out for this season.

Big freshman contributions For the first time under coach Fred Hoiberg, Iowa State has brought in freshmen that can contribute immediately to a good ISU team.

Two years ago, the likes of Calvin Godfrey and Melvin Ejim were key parts of a six-man rotation that only won three games in the Big 12.

This time, the Cyclones have a chance to finish in the top half of the Big 12.

With Sherron Dorsey-Walker announcing via Twitter that he would be redshirting his freshman year, that leaves Georges Niang and Naz Long spots to be the main contributors as freshmen.

It’s unclear how much the two other freshmen, Nkeoweurem Okoro and Cameron Fowler, will play.

Niang brings the old-school post game to Iowa State from Tilton. Niang doesn’t bring the most athletic build, but what he does bring his footwork down low, a polished post game and that tremendous basketball IQ Hoiberg has raved about time and time again.

He also has the experience of playing against top talent that most freshmen don’t get a chance to see as he played at Tilton alongside the No. 1 recruit in the nation, Nerlens Noel.

Long is a player I expect to contribute more than he originally was expected to. As only a two-star prospect out of Canada, Long didn’t get a chance to showcase his talents as he was bouncing around prep schools, eventually ending up back at Mississauga.

Long brings a combo-guard style where he can play the one and two, which is what Hoiberg hoped Scott Christopherson and Chris Allen could do.

Those two could certainly play shooting guard, but couldn’t distribute the way Hoiberg needed them to, which is why we saw the 6-foot-8, 270-pound “freight train” of a point guard in Royce White last year.

Long already showcased his ability to distribute and score, even if it was an exhibition game.

Photo: Shane Tully/Iowa State Daily Coach Fred Hoiberg talks to the team during a timeout at the game at Hilton Coliseum on Sunday.

By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com Living and dying from three-point land ISU fans experienced this last year. In games where they weren’t canning three-pointers, they struggled. That could very well happen again this year.

Nearly every player that is expected to see significant playing time has the ability to shoot from behind the arc. Arguably the only player who won’t shoot outside is Percy Gibson.

In its first game, the team hit 15 of its 29 attempts for 3-point range. Four came from Korie Lucious, two from Niang and Long, and four more from Tyrus McGee, who was Sunday’s leading scorer.

If they don’t shoot well from beyond the arc, there is the possibility that scoring could be a challenge.

Will Clyburn is expected to step into the role of scorer since he finished with more than 17 points per game for Utah. But against Minnesota State, Clyburn was quiet, only scoring nine points.

The post game might be relied upon more heavily this season with Gibson and Niang emerging as scorers under the basket.

Spread scoring and transition offense Much like last year, the wealth will most likely be spread out, giving an equal chance to each player to have his best game.

It’s expected that Clyburn will fill the role of being a primary scorer, but don’t expect him to lead the box score every night.

McGee displayed the energy we saw last year, but in their exhibition game he seemed to lead at times making plays all over the floor, fighting for rebounds and even getting a block under the hoop while yelling a “Gimme that!” McGee led with 16 points, but four others were in double figures.

Expect whoever has the hot hand to be fed, which happens often in a quick-tempo transition offense. Hoiberg has emphasized the transition offense time and time again. He believes he has

Football

West becomes prime choice for passing

By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com It’s always nice to have options.

For the ISU football team’s passing attack, Jarvis West has been a prime choice as one of those options, having stepped up in the past two games to account for 11 receptions for 120 yards and three receiving touchdowns.

“Jarvis is as quick of a person as I’ve ever seen in my life,” said running back Jeff Woody. “He can go from a full sprint to a dead stop to a full sprint in two steps and it’s unreal.”

The improved play of West has come in the midst of a slump for the Cyclones’ leading receiver, Aaron Horne, who had six dropped passes against Baylor and only had one catch for four yards against Oklahoma.

West, a crafty redshirt sophomore, had seen his dreadlocks nearly catch fire having scored four touchdowns — three receiving scores against Baylor

and one rushing against Oklahoma.

“Against Baylor, [Horne] was having the worst game of his life and [West] was able to step in because of that and he made the most of it,” Woody said.

On Sunday, ISU coach Paul Rhoads said the main trait his staff is beginning to look at in recruiting wide receivers is bigger size.

At 5-foot-9, 170 pounds, however, West was a glaring exception to this standard when he was recruited.

“Jarvis was just too stop-and-go quick to pass up that we couldn’t walk away from him,” Rhoads said.

“His size didn’t matter to us because he was so quick, and right now he’s getting hot and productive, as you’re seeing.”

The past few weeks have been a boost in confidence for West, who had been averaging 1.7 receptions and 12.7 receiving yards per game before his three-touchdown performance against Baylor on Oct. 27.

“They’ve been great, I guess you could say,” West said. “It’s been good for me, but it’s really not about me — it’s about the team.”

Also in West’s playbook as an offensive threat is his ability to run the ball — he’s had five carries this season on reverses with his fifth carry resulting in his first-career rushing touchdown last Saturday against Oklahoma.

Woody said West’s speediness typically throws defenders off guard, allowing him to gain positive yardage when a reverse play unfolds.

“It’s extremely, extremely, extremely difficult,” said linebacker Jeremiah George of trying to tackle West.

“He’s made me look really bad in a couple practices over the last couple years.

“The best way to try to tackle Jarvis is to try to relax when you see him coming and try to take something away from him; that’s about it.”

>>FACTORS.p6 the pieces to do so with a proven point guard in Lucious and the athleticism of Clyburn.

One thing Hoiberg has this season that he didn’t have last year was point guards — two of them.

Lucious and Long both displayed the ability to get up and

on like have some tests coming up,” Mackenzie said. “I always know, no matter what, I can go over and Emmery will be there to support me.”

Mackenzie said she “bums” on Emmery’s couch, and the two sisters often cook dinner.

Emmery added that it’s nice to watch “Duck Dynasty” together and just relax when they have free time.

Emmery works for the ISU Athletic Department as a graphic design intern, making both sisters involved with athletics in their own way.

“Those sisters are very, very close,” JohnsonLynch said. “I’m not privy to everything, but I see the Facebook posts and hear the stories, and I know they’re very close.”

Of course, aside from seeing each other at Emmery’s apartment, the two often connect at Hilton Coliseum when Mackenzie takes the

down the floor in transition while handling pressure and distributing as they combined for 27 points and 11 assists.

Obviously Minnesota State doesn’t offer the likes of Pierre Jackon or Myck Kabongo, but at this point Hoiberg has to be pleased with what he’s seen from a freshman and a player who hasn’t played in a real game in a year and a half.

This ISU team has the ability to accomplish what it did last

court for the Cyclones.

“I think that’s one of the things that might have kept me from going to a school farther away,” Mackenzie said of her family coming to matches. “Growing up my grandparents came to all my games, my family has been really supportive of me.

“It’s just so nice to be able to see a face in the crowd that you know.”

In May, Emmery will graduate from Iowa State, but there is yet one more Bigbee sister.

Olivia, currently a junior at Williamsburg High School, could provide another familiar face on campus in the near future.

“She’s still undecided about life,” Mackenzie said of Olivia.

As the sisters came together following a recent match in Ames, they shared a laugh, as Olivia — half-serious, half-joking — made her commitment.

“Yes, I’m definitely going here,” Olivia said.

Photo: Yanhua Huang/Iowa State Daily Josh Tenney, a music mixer, talks about the new location of Alexander Recording Kompany Studios in a three-story house in downtown Ames.

Alexander Recording Kompany Studios has always been located under Reiman Music on Main Street but now the studio has decided to relocate, and bought out a three-story house in downtown Ames for a total upgrade of the studio.

Josh Tenney, graphic designer and head of public relations of Alexander Recording Kompany Studios, said the change was something that was needed for the studio and its clients.

“The new location is going to have to accommodate a lot more hours,” Tenney said. “We bought a whole bunch of new gear… We have a living room downstairs and higher ceilings.

It’s going to sound a lot prettier and a lot nicer for every band that comes in.

It will put us above other studios.”

The new location will have plenty of space for the company to make schedules, which was a struggle the studio had before. Now with more room to record multiple bands at once, the studio group feels it can record more artists and give better sound and time to each recording they do.

“The biggest reason [for the upgrade] was really the hours. Basically on weekdays the studio has to open up at 6 p.m. and run it until we’re too tired anymore,” Tenney said. “The problem with that is we hit our ceiling with clients that we can book consistently.”

Since buying the house, the studio has received a lot of love from clients expressing their excitement for the location.

“Everybody that’s come into it has been really excited,” Tenney said. “This place is a home, it looks like one from the outside.”

The owner of the studio, Dennis Haislip, expressed his excitement for

the move as well, saying this new location will bring them to their next level.

“Everybody seems pretty stoked and people are booking time and I don’t even have the place open yet,” Haislip said. “We’re working with bands out of Cedar Falls... and people in the state outside of Ames are starting to understand we exist. We haven’t done any advertisement campaigns, and people are finding out about it from word of mouth.”

Bands and recording artists should also be looking forward to the grand opening because of deals the studio will offer, including a full album recording (30 eight-hour days) with graphic production for $8,000. The studio as well plans on offering more options for recording, as well as hiring studio musicians for solo artists and allowing the recording of jingles for advertisements.

Recording artists also are expressing excitement over the move, including The Sun Company member Kyle Haubrich who plans on continuing to use the company for recordings once they open the new studio.

“It’s been a great experience [recording with them], it’s really professional,” Haubrich said. “Dennis is willing to help out and whenever we needed time he was really good with his schedule. We’re looking forward to see what they are putting out now.”

The original location will also still be used for live recording too.

“We’re going to try to keep it open for that and offering it as a rehearsal space for bands that really want to go in and crank up,” Tenney said. “It’s going to stay related to the [Alexander Recording Kompany Studios.]”

Tenney said the company is planning to open the new location in the middle of December with a grand opening celebration.

A concert to raise money and collect toys for Toys for Tots will be hosted in the Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall on Thursday.

The concert is organized mainly by sorority Sigma Alpha Iota, which has been serving the ISU Music Department since 1925.

Sigma Alpha Iota started the event four years ago and has continually worked to improve it.

“The music department makes this event possible,” said Janee Becker, senior in anthropology and vice president of Sigma Alpha Iota,.

“The faculty volunteer to play at the concert; the department helps publicize the event and lets us have the recital hall for the event.”

Sigma Alpha Iota however, coordinates all efforts to plan the concert. In order to get into the concert, one must make a donation of money or

a new, unwrapped toy. After collecting the donations and toys, the sorority delivers the gifts to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, which distributes the gifts to children all over Iowa.

While the larger student ensembles will not be performing at the concert, faculty

volunteers and students will provide the entertainment.

George Work, professor of music, will be performing a cello duet with one of his students, Yeil Park, senior in music. Other faculty performances will be Heather Peyton playing an oboe solo, and a percussion duet by Julie

Sturm and Matthew Coley.

Zach Howell, junior in music, will also be performing a vocal solo for the events.

Last year, the sorority raised over $1,000 and collected over 150 toys, and this year’s hope is to collect even more.

“Our goal each year is to

one-up the last year,” Becker said. “We’ve done that each year so far, and we just want to raise as much money as we can.”

Although an official number for how many have attended in the past few years was not available, the concert last year packed the recital hall, and the same result is expected this year.

A reception will follow the concert in the music hall lobby, just outside of the recital hall. Punch and snacks will be served.

Farm House decorates for 1890s holidays

By Patty Clark Ames247 writer Farm House Museum is getting dressed up and ready for the holiday season with the theme “Is There a Santa Claus?”

The Farm House Museum began decorating for the holidays four years ago through a sequence of decades beginning with 1860s. This year the Farm House will be themed in the 1890s.

Allison Sheridan, collections manager and communications coordinator at University Museums, discussed the 1890s as a time when “things like electrification of the house happened.”

The exhibit also includes a series of 13 music boxes that were gifted to the museum, as well as an editorial that ran during that time.

The editorial referred to is one that ran in the Sept. 21, 1897, edition of The Sun of New York about a young girl named Virginia O’Hanlon who was doubting whether there was a Santa Claus or not because her friends told her that there was not. So she asked her

dad one day, and he advised her to write a letter. She wrote a letter to The Sun which prompted the famous response, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.”

Along with the letter, music boxes are another theme as a part of this year’s decor because this is the decade when music boxes began to be displayed in homes. The ones that will be displayed throughout the house are considered by Sheridan to be the “precursor to the ballerina jewelry box.

They come with a list of songs inside and come in many sizes.”

Lights are the third essential part of this decade’s decoration because this is when lights began to be displayed.

David Faux, Interim Educator at University Museums, will be displaying the lights on a big tree outside, as well as on some trees on the inside of the home with appropriate ornaments for the 1890s.

“I just love the energy, that everyone gets excited,” Faux said. “This idea of looking into the past of how other generations have come and gone and celebrated in our most historic house.

Photo: Yanhua Huang/Iowa State Daily This year the Farm House will be decorated for an 1890s Christmas. The display includes an editorial from 1897, music boxes and electrical lighting.

It’s really cool to unearth some of those old traditions.”

Sheridan said that regardless of students’ religious beliefs, the decorations are welcome for all to enjoy the

“celebratory nature.”

The home will be fully decorated this weekend, and an open house will offer free cookies and cider Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m.

Presented by Ames247.com

“SeussaPOElooza” is this random idea I came up with of combining Edgar Allen Poe and Dr. Seuss stories into one. One of them we’re doing is “Green Eggs and Ham” with “The Cask of Amontillado,” and also “Horton Hears a Who” with “The Tell-Tale Heart,” so it’s “Horton Hears a Heart.” Just taking scripts and basically doing a workshop on genres and trying to combine different genres you wouldn’t think would go together.

cocktails and the day after I was pretty hungover, and we decided to go to one of the theme parks. All of a sudden we’re in Dr. Seuss land, and it’s all these fun bright colors and weird curves, and when you’re hungover, it’s kind of just scary.

What did you have to do to get this approved as your seminar?

Jane [Cox] kind of leaves it up in the air. I think there’s a time constraint on it, and you get graded on it.

What was the casting process like?

I vaguely had some people in mind; I had the scripts in mind. It was pretty low-key; I didn’t have open auditions.

I just talked to people in private, and they got back to me whether they wanted to do it or not.

How did the idea come to you?

What are you most looking forward to this weekend?

I was on an internship in Florida. Our play went up the day earlier and that night we had a few too many

Music: P.O.S.

By Sam Abrahms “We Don’t Even Live Here” is the fourth studio album from P.O.S. The Minneapolis native’s lyrics come from a well-crafted mind and poignantly spitting rhetoric. Titles like “They Can’t Come” and “Weird Friends” point towards his underground standing as an artist. You’ll learn quick that P.O.S. is a straight shooter and doesn’t stick to any script.

Snare-stuffed “Bumper” paints a rapper critical of everything around him. “They on some nonsense/We on some nonstop,” he raps just before a bombardment of low-fi snares and skidding whips. A classic hip-hop and experimental sound dominates the album with a firm grip. The production rides an energetic thumping of Matrix-like clicks and whizzes.

He rips on the rich kids, materialism and about anything he doesn’t like. There isn’t a doubt in my mind that P.O.S. shares many musical qualities with Lupe Fiasco, a man known for pushing his beliefs on those around him.

There’s just something about P.O.S. that just makes me want to live his life. He raps as though he doesn’t care about what I have to say about it, and I think that’s what draws me in.

This album is unlike anything you’ve ever heard (most likely) and you need to give it a listen.

Game: ‘Orion: Dino Beatdown’

By Devin Pacini “ORION: Dino Beatdown” is a twist on the classic tale of man versus wild. Except instead of man surviving against nature, man is defending its generators from being destroyed by rampaging dinosaurs.

If you’re going to play though, bring your friends. I’ve played with friends and alone, and the game seems impossible to beat alone. Even though it’s seemingly unbeatable alone, it’s also more fun to gun down dinosaurs with friends anyway. If you were thinking about jumping onto some servers and trying your luck with public games, you might be disappointed. From my experience, the servers are almost always empty, and the game itself hasn’t gotten a lot of attention since it’s release.

Be ready for nothing more than shooting dinosaurs in wave format. There are different maps, but the game concept is essentially always the same. However, they did a great job at making the game look nice, and adding different “classes” was a good idea. I haven’t played much outside the jetpack character yet, since most of my time has been solo, and I like having the ability to “gtfo” in any situation.

Movie: ‘Wreck-it Ralph’ Presented by Ames247.com

By Nick Hamden Nostalgia is a powerful emotion that can be utilized in the movie industry. It is one of the main reasons why reboots are made and also why they fail. “Wreck-It Ralph” decides to overload you with nostalgia to capture your interest, but keep you there with witty dialogue and an engaging story. Ralph is the villain in an arcade machine, modeled after the original Donkey Kong. In the game, Ralph has to destroy an apartment complex, while Fix-It Felix fixes the building and saves the day. After 30 years of this madness, Ralph decides he has had enough of being the bad guy, going on a multi-platform adventure to prove he can be a hero and find some sort of meaning in his life.

The first thing you will notice about the film is the amount of detail that went in to it. From the minor background jokes/cameos, to the movement of characters, they seem to have thought of it all. I was a bit disappointed that Ralph only went to two gaming worlds outside of his own, but I guess it opens up the potential for more in sequels. Obviously if you have never really been a fan of video games, this is not the best choice. But I still think it is a movie that will entertain most, even if they don’t understand every reference.
