Campus prank costly endeavor for ISU officials

Eating Disorder Awareness Week 2010

Diseases affect all areas

By Nathan Winters Daily Correspondent The going rate for body parts on campus is $4,000 to $5,000. Or at least that’s how much it costs to remove the graffiti that has appeared on several of the buildings across campus, including “cock,” near Seasons Marketplace; “anal,” on the walls of Ross Hall; “tits,” on a sidewalk near the Forker Building parking lot; and “cunt,” sprayed onto the Campanile, with one letter on each side. “We have one of the most beautiful college campuses in the country,” said Jerry Stewart, director of the Department of Public Safety. “Graffiti has a negative impact in us being able to maintain that status.” Amanpreet Kaur, freshman in family and consumer science education and studies, said the graffiti has changed the way she views campus. “I thought people on campus were

Charity Walk/Run

Hundreds attend AIDS awareness walk at Lied By Abigail Barefoot Daily Staff Writer The Lied Recreation Athletic Center was filled with people wearing red and white T-shirts Sunday. These people were choosing to walk or run to raise funds and awareness for HIV/AIDS. One hundred and twenty people participated in the event that helped raise more than $1,400 for the Mid-Iowa Community Action and their Living with HIV/AIDS program. People involved in the event could choose to walk 3 miles or run 5 miles. The runners were given popsicles sticks with facts about HIV and AIDS. After a lap they could throw away the popsicles stick as marker for how many more miles they had left to do. Bari Greenspan, the program’s president, has been involved with the event for four years now. “This year, the goal was to have more than 100 people participate and raise more money for MICA,” Greenspan said. “Last year we raised more than $1,200 for them, this year we hope to do better.” MICA’s program provides information and help to people in Story, Boone, Hamilton, Hardin, Marshall, Greene and Franklin counties. It supports people who have HIV or AIDS, as well as people who just want general information about the disease. MICA provides services including free home and office visits, a monthly support group and emergency financial assistance when needed.“The more people that are involved in planning allows more people to spread the word,” Greenspan said. “They bring their enthusiasm that disperses to other members that spreads to everyone that participates. The more people who participate in the event the more funds we can raise.” Avni Sangi, a past HIV/AIDS walk president, has also been involved with the event for the past four years. After a high school trip to Uganda where she witnessed the poverty and sickness, she began researching HIV and AIDS. Once she got to Iowa State, she quickly joined

Eating disorders cause many feelings of control, anxiety, shame, dizziness and depression. Illustration: Joshua Burhite/ Iowa State Daily

By Jody Korthaus Daily Staff Writer Shame, guilt, low self-esteem and feeling out of control are just some of the words associated with someone suffering from an eating disorder. Abnormal heart rate, reduction of bone density, discoloration of teeth and withdrawal from friends and family are some of the consequences that those with an eating disorder suffer. It has one of the highest death rates of any mental condition, and it is one of the most common psychiatric diagnoses in young women. These are facts that describe the amount of people who are troubled with eating disorders. Eating disorders are all but uncommon to the world, to the United States and to college campuses. Up to 10 percent of college students have some type of eating disorder. They lurk in the backs of young men and women’s minds, on the cover of magazines, with the obsession and pressure to have that “perfect body,” on the television screen and in the backs of classrooms. Yes, eating disorders walk the halls, they climb the stairs and they linger around the next corner. For some, it’s a way to feel in control, for others, it’s a cry for help — but what do we really know about eating disorders? The three most commonly known eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating. Currently 10 million females and 1 million males suffer from either anorexia or bulimia in the United States alone, while millions more are conflicted with binge eating. The eating disorder most common among young girls, which affects between 0.5–1 percent of Americans, is anorexia nervosa. According to the National Eating Disorder Organization, anorexia nervosa is the cycle of self-starvation, in which the body does not receive the essential nu-

trients it needs to be functional. The body is forced to conserve energy as a result of this, and serious medical consequences begin to take place. Some serious effects of anorexia nervosa are cardiac disease and severe hydration, which could lead to kidney failure and the inability to fight off diseases and infections, explained Rose Martin, senior lecturer in food science and human nutrition. “Bone density loss is a big concern for all eating disorders because of the loss of bone density that takes place later in life around menopause and in our older age,” Martin said. “If young women don’t get a good foundation for bone density around their younger teenage years, when their bone density decreases around middle age, it will be that much farther behind, and they’ll never be able to catch up. This leads to all sorts of diseases, primarily osteoporosis.” Other medical issues that take hold of the body are muscle loss and weakness, fatigue and overall weakness, dry hair and skin and hair loss. Lanugo, the growth of a soft layer of hair, will begin to cover the body in attempt to keep the body warm. A very slow heart rate combined with low blood pressure levels put those with anorexia at risk for heart failure as well. Four primary symptoms of anorexia nervosa are the resistance to maintain body weight or a normal body weight for their age and height, an intense fear of gaining weight or being “fat,” denial of their low body weight and loss of menstrual periods in girls and women post-puberty. Some warning signs for anorexia nervosa could be dramatic weight loss, refusal to eat certain foods, denial of hunger, excessive exercise and constantly avoiding mealtimes or situations

Sweeps

Skit takes Varieties ‘smackdown’ By Abigail Barefoot Daily Staff Writer After a night of laughter and cheering, the Great Hall began to buzz with anticipation and nervousness. They had all come this far and they all wanted the big prize. The teams had worked their hardest to prove to the judges they had what it takes to win Varieties Sweeps. Saturday night was the last showing of Varieties Sweepstakes, better known as Sweeps. Friends, family and members of the greek community came to show support and watch as the last three skits competed for top honors. The final skits were “Chaos in Candyland,” “Sibling Smackdown” and “Camp Ottowatta Be Here.” The groups had been working on these skits for more than seven months. The skits were original ideas that the performers wrote, designed and choreographed themselves. Audience members were supportive of the performers, shown by the packed Great Hall and the overabundance of cheers for every group. Courtney Carson, sophomore in apparel merchandising, design and production, came to support some of her friends that were competing at Varieties. It also was her first time seeing

the show. She was impressed by the quality of the performance. “It was better than I thought it was going to be,” Carson said. “It is a lot of fun, and there is a ton of talent on stage.” She believes it is something she would see again next year. The question for the performers, however, was would their talent be enough to win Varieties Sweeps? After the show, there was time for the meet and greet the actors while the judges tallied up the final votes. Joni Richter, sophomore in child, adult and family services, played Gertrude in “Camp Ottowatta Be Here.” She was excited and nervous about the upcoming award ceremony. “Sure, we have a chance, but how I am feeling right now? I am nervous and anxious,” Richer said with a laugh. “Our goal was to have fun and have a skit that everyone loved, and with that we made it to Sweeps.” Richter went on to win Best Actress for her role as Gertrude and Best Duet with her co-star Grant Holdren, senior in chemical engineering. When the award ceremony started, the performers sat together, waiting impatiently for the results. For the “Best of” awards,

Student willingly brands buttocks

Escaped zebra captured after downtown chase

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. — Breckenridge authorities said a Texas Christian University student suffered severe burns when his peers branded his buttocks. The student participated in the act willingly and no charges will be filed. Authorities said Thursday they made the decision not to pursue charges after reviewing statements from Amon Carter IV and a dozen TCU students. The Summit Daily News reported that Carter had Greek symbols from his fraternity and a sorority branded on his buttocks Jan. 8 during a trip to Breckenridge. Carter needed surgery after the incident caused him to suffer second-and third-degree burns. Investigators said the incident was not a part of the fraternity’s initiation because Carter was already a member of the fraternity. Carter is the great-grandson of Amon G. Carter Sr., who founded the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Recover from an Eating Disorder and Fall in Love with Life Jenni Schaefer

Jenni Schaefer, a recovered bulimic, has helped change the face of eating disorder awareness and recovery. She coauthored her first book, Life Without Ed, with her psychotherapist, who taught her to treat her eating disorder as a relationship rather than an illness or condition. Schaefer actually named her anorexia/bulimia “Ed,” an acronym for “eating disorder.” Her new book, Goodbye Ed, Hello Me: Recover from Your Eating Disorder and Fall in Love with Life, tackles the transition from recovery to liberation. Jenni Schaefer is a consultant with the Center for Change in Orem, Utah, and a contributing author to Chicken Soup for the Recovering Soul.

ATLANTA — An Atlanta highway turned into a circus Thursday afternoon when an escaped zebra galloped along a busy section of interstate with police in hot pursuit. The 12-year-old animal, named Lima, was exercising outside a downtown arena in preparation for an evening show when something spooked him, said Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus spokeswoman Crystal Drake. “We’re not sure what it was that startled him, but we’re looking into that,” she said. He was spotted by people in downtown Atlanta around 4:30 p.m., said Georgia Department of Transportation spokeswoman Monica Luck.

Daniel Nance said he saw the zebra near the downtown MARTA transit station. “All of a sudden a freaking zebra comes running down the street like a car,” Nance told The Atlanta JournalConstitution. “Five or six police cars were in hot pursuit. And a bunch of officers on foot. But then I got scared, thinking ... what else is loose?” Lima led his trainers and police on a 40-minute chase through downtown to the interstate highway that cuts through the center of the city, covering well over a mile along the way. Police cruisers blocked off all southbound lanes of Interstate 75 and were able to herd the zebra over to the right shoulder and off an entrance ramp, where his trainer was on hand to capture and soothe him, Drake said.

things 10 you didn’t s e c t i o n

know about

Jewelry becomes family affair By Micaela Cashman Daily Staff Writer Gary Youngberg didn’t need college to get him where he is today. “It just kind of happened,” Youngberg, owner of Ames Silversmithing, said of his 33-year-old business. Before opening up shop, Youngberg was attending college at the University of Iowa. However, he said he hated college and Iowa City, so his wife, Karen — who was his girlfriend at the time — convinced him to move to Ames. “I liked the town much better, but I still hated college,” Gary said. “I decided college is not for me.” He said he initially started making jewelry for his wife. “I was going to buy her a little doo-dad for Valentine’s Day,” Gary said. He chose to make her something instead, and her friends encouraged him to continue making jewelry. He began selling his pieces to sororities, and his informal business continued to grow. “I taught myself young and thought I should try a business,” he said.

At the age of 19, with $1,500 in his savings account, Gary opened Ames Silversmithing. “As I look back, I’d say it probably took eight to 10 years to know we were going to succeed,” he said, “but I never thought about failing.” Gary said that when Ames Silversmithing started, he sold mostly “Indian-looking designs,” including pendants and turquoise beads. Now, the pieces he sells are “more expensive, more diversified and being sold at a higher volume.” They include precious stones and metals, and there are currently four people employed who design and make all of the jewelry they sell. “Most stores are just selling something another store made,” Gary said. He added that their customer service also sets them apart from other stores. “We spend about 30 minutes to an hour educating people on our pieces,” he said. “If we don’t do that, we’re just another store.” He said their assistance helps people feel more comfortable spending a large amount of money. “People appreciate our help, and they want to learn,” Gary said. While Gary said all of his employees are like family, some of them actually are. Both of his sons

chose to join the family business. Kyle, a Kansas alumnus who earned a degree in business, and Kirk, who went to Luther for a few years and, like his father, decided college was “not my cup of tea,” made the decisions to return to Ames and contribute to their parents’ successful company. “They saw what Karen and I started, and they’ve been involved with the business since they were toddlers,” Gary said. He added that the benefits of working with family far outweigh the challenges. “It worked out because my sons are best friends,” he said. Over the years, Ames Silversmithing has gained followers. “Early on, I would sleep at my desk and hope a customer walked through the door,” Gary said. Kyle said they now see 30 to 40 customers every day. Gary said he is now seeing new generations of families visit his store. “Being involved in big events in people’s lives is pretty cool,” he said. Ames Silversmithing is located at 220 Main Street and is open Monday to Saturday, 9 a.m.– 5:30 p.m., Thursdays until 7 p.m. and Sundays by appointment.

The new Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act, or Credit CARD Act, takes full effect Monday, with regulations aimed at helping consumers — and more specifically, young adults — understand and manage their credit. The biggest change for students is that the new law requires consumers under the age of 21 to either prove their financial responsibility or have a co-signer in order to open a credit card account, according to a fact sheet distributed by the Iowa Attorney General’s Office. Doug Borkowski, director of the Iowa State Financial Counseling Clinic, said he’s asked students in his HD FS 283 class about the change, and expected to hear complaints that the law doesn’t treat them like adults — but that most students seemed OK with the change. “If there were dissenting views, nobody voiced them,” Borkowski said. In addition, companies cannot offer free items to get students to sign up for a credit card. Borkowski said such freebies are

According to a consumer advisory from the Iowa Attorney General’s Office, the biggest changes to expect from the new law include: ■■ Consumers under the age of 21 must have a co-signer or must be able to prove financial responsibility in order to open an account. ■■ Companies cannot offer free items for filling out an application. ■■ Monthly statements must be sent 21 days before their due date and must include information on how much a customer needs to pay every month in order to pay down debt in three years. ■■ Companies are restricted in how they can raise interest rates and must give 45 days notice of changes to your account. Borkowski said that if students have questions, they should call the Financial Counseling Clinic for more information.

common today — one time he recalled seeing Post-it notes spread throughout campus offering a free sandwich at a local restaurant for anyone who filled out a credit card application. “I pulled off over 200 and didn’t make a dent in the number that had been taped around campus,” he said. Borkowski said he once worked with a student who had signed up for a card in order to get a freebie, and then threw away the bills since he

had never used the card. “Well, the fine print on it was it had an annual fee that they charged up front,” Borkowski said. By the time the student realized, he’d had several late fees and interest fees added to an annual fee for a card he didn’t really want in the first place. Such annual fees may become more common, too. The new law restricts how companies can raise interest rates — for example, the interest rate on a new card cannot be

raised in the first 12 months the account is open, according to the Iowa Attorney General’s fact sheet. But with less revenue from interest, credit card companies have been exploring annual fees. “So now they’re saying, ‘Well, how do I get revenue, how do I generate revenue from those who use credit wisely?’” Borkowski said. Borkowski said one major company has tested an annual fee with 15 percent of its consumer base. “I think they’re still trying to assess it. The discussion out there is that others will probably follow.” Borkowski said. “It’s going to be very interesting to see how it plays out.” While new consumer protections can help, nothing replaces using your card responsibly. Borkowski said he worked with a senior that had $57,000 of debt spread over five credit cards. That’s an extreme example, but illustrates a serious point. “I’ve seen a fair number of students over the past five years that are over $10,000, certainly.” To avoid that, stick to the basics — which haven’t changed. “Pay your full balance on time,” Borkowski said.

nicer than this,” Kaur said. “This is simply immature and offensive to everyone.” Apart from being offensive, it is also expensive. Les Lawson, manager of facilities maintenance, said Facilities Planning and Management contracts an outside firm, Old School, to remove the graffiti, and the estimated removal cost is approximately $4,000. “We do not budget for these kinds of events,” said Steve Rentschler, project planning specialist for Facilities Planning and Management. “We seek funds from other sources administered by the university.” While students will not have to incur any of the costs through higher fees, the cost is difficult to shoulder, especially in light of the economic difficulty the university currently faces. “This kind of senseless damage simply takes money away from other valuable functions of the university,” Stewart said. Stewart said graffiti incidents are hard to investigate. He said there have been successful arrests in the past, but that the arrests resulted from quick apprehension

of the defamers shortly after they committed the acts. “Last year, there was a lot of stenciling work which can provide a lead,” Stewart said. “Absent solid leads and physical evidence, it’s very difficult to conduct an investigation.” He said that the cameras located on the sites of the obscenities were not useful in providing a solid lead. Stewart said that while graffiti is not uncommon, it is a serious offense, and it causes permanent damage above and beyond that of other pranks. He said officers recently encountered three students who decided to shovel snow into a pedestrian tunnel to completely block it. “That was a college prank, no harm, no foul,” Stewart said. “This, however, is a crime.” If an arrest were made, Stewart said, the charge would be criminal mischief. The severity of the charge would depend on the estimated dollar damage. He said if found guilty, the most common sentence is court-ordered restitution, where the offender is forced to pay for the damage. Stewart said there are currently no leads on the investigation and encourages anyone with information to contact DPS at 294-4428.

the event planning committee. When she first began, the event was small and in Sangi’s opinion, “There wasn’t motivation for the event.” She began getting more involved and eventually became the president of the event. Through the committee’s hard work, it had more people participate in the event and raised more funds then ever for MICA. Both Sangi and Greenspan believe the biggest hurdle of planning the walk was getting the news about the event spread on campus. In past years, there were 30–40 people who showed up for the event, which has now jumped to more than 100 people this year. Sangi hopes to have more people come and help with the next event. “Next year, I hope more people come to meetings and actually stay to help with the event,” Sangi said. “It’s not a huge event like Dance Marathon, but it still important to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS.”

“Camp Ottowatta Be Here” came out with the most awards, which totaled eight, including: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Spirit and Best line. For the Vignettes, third place went to Cassidy Maher and Dani Aceto for their singing and guitar skills. Second place went to All in Moderation, an all-male a capella group. First place went to Cyclone Swing Society for their swing dancing. After all the other awards were presented, it was time for the big moment to announce the winner of this year’s Varieties Sweeps. The winner would be guaranteed a spot to compete next year, as well as get its name engraved on a trophy with past winners. The room hushed as judges began to announce.

where food is involved. Bulimia nervosa is also an eating disorder that affects millions of people, but unlike anorexia, bulimia includes self-induced vomiting. Compensatory behaviors such as self-induced vomiting are meant to undo or compensate for the practice of binge eating or out-of-control eating such as hoarding extremely large amounts of food. Bulimia also differs in some medical aspects from anorexia because of the forced purging that takes place and the effects of hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that’s contained in stomach juices to help break down food. “When we puke, the acid comes up with it and causes the erosion of the enamel on our teeth,” Martin said. “That’s why discoloration or staining of the teeth usually occurs to someone with bulimia.” Martin went on to talk about the electrolyte imbalances that take place with the disorder, which cause low potassium and sodium levels and cause dehydration, which in turn could lead to kidney failure.

“Camp Ottowatta Be Here.” As soon as the winner for second place came out of the announcer’s voice, the group who performed “Sibling Smackdown” went crazy. They jumped out of their chairs and began hugging each other. Some faces had huge smiles while others had utter disbelief on their faces. All their hard work paid off: They earned first place at Varieties Sweeps. Kat Mosiman, junior in music, who played one of the Muses in “Sibling Smackdown” shared in her excitement. “I am pretty ecstatic right now. I am also very proud overall,” she said. “We didn’t really expect this to happen at all.” But for Mosiman, it wasn’t about getting the trophy or first place. “It’s knowing that after that last note and the lights turning off, when we walked off stage, knowing that we did our best.” As for her goals for next year, she simply said, “Just keep on making it to Sweeps and having fun.”

disorder. Binge eating is characterized by recurring bingeing, but it doesn’t involve ways to compensate like bulimia. Frequently eating very large portions of food in a short time, eating in secret or when not hungry, feeling out of control about eating and feeling ashamed about eating habits are all associated with binge eating disorder. High blood pressure and cholesterol levels, heart disease, gallbladder disease and diabetes mellitus are all serious medical consequences of

binge eating disorder. The National Eating Disorder Association estimates that 1 to 5 percent of the general public is affected by binge eating disorder, with 60 percent of it being women and 40 percent men. The disorder is associated with those who have feelings of depression and/or stress and express shame and guilt about their eating behaviors.

Blaze reported at amusement park

Health care legislation moves ahead

ALTOONA — Fire crews responded to a blaze at the Adventureland amusement park in central Iowa. Molly Vincent is a spokeswoman for Adventureland. Vincent said there have been no injuries in the Saturday fire and the blaze is contained to the park’s “Main Street” area. Vincent said the ceiling of a toy store at the park collapsed and that started an electrical fire at a block of shops at the front of the theme park. The fire also spread to an arcade. Vincent said the theme park is closed for the season.

“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”

Lawmakers press to repeal ★★ military policy

★★

By Anne Flaherty Associated Press Writer

135 WELCH AVE. ~ 515.292.2868 4518 MORTENSEN RD. ~ 515.292.4444

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers this week will press the military’s top uniformed officers for the first time on whether they think repealing “don’t ask, don’t tell” makes sense or would be too disruptive. The testimony from each of the service chiefs on Capitol Hill will be crucial to the debate in Congress on whether to repeal the 17-year-old law, which bans gay men and lesbians from serving openly in the military. President Barack Obama says the policy unfairly punishes patriots who want to serve their country. Lawmakers are divided on whether to end the ban. They are the ones who would be in charge of putting any changes in place and responding to any fallout. “This is one of the core concepts that has made the U.S. military one of the most effective combat forces in history,” said Rep. Gene Taylor, a

conservative Democrat from Mississippi. While Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Adm. Mike Mullen says he believes the ban should be lifted, he has said he can’t speak for the service chiefs other than to say they support Defense Secretary Robert Gates’ assessment. The service chiefs are scheduled to testify separately throughout the week, with the Army’s Gen. George Casey and the Air Force’s Gen. Norton Schwartz going first on Tuesday. Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Conway, who is said to oppose changes to the policy, will testify on Wednesday. Pew research has found that support for letting gay men and lesbians serve openly has risen from just over half of all those surveyed in 1994 to 58 percent in 2005 and about 60 percent since 2006. Opposition has dropped from 45 percent in 1994. Skill matters more than sexual orientation, Petraeus said.

WASHINGTON — The White House readied its lastditch effort to salvage health care legislation Sunday while the Senate’s Republican leader warned Democrats against the go-it-alone approach. The White House is expected to post a version of President Barack Obama’s plan for overhauling health care on its Web site Monday, ahead of his critical and daring summit at Blair House on Thursday. The plan, which was likely to be opposed by the GOP, was expected to require most Americans to carry health insurance coverage, with federal subsidies to help many afford the premiums. Hewing close to a stalled Senate bill, it would bar insurance companies from denying coverage to people with medical problems or charging them more. The conference at the White House guest residence is to be televised live on C-SPAN and perhaps on cable news networks. It represents a gamble by the administration that Obama can save his embattled overhaul through persuasion — a risky and unusual step. It was forced on the administration by the Senate special election victory of Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown in January. He captured the seat long held by Democrat Edward M. Kennedy, who died last year. Brown’s victory reduced the Democrats’ majority in the Senate to 59 votes, one shy of the number needed to knock down Republican delaying tactics. While the House and Senate had passed its own version of a health overhaul, lawmakers had yet to settle their differences and produce a single bill acceptable to both chambers when Brown won.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, hoped a compromise — “sweet spot,” he called it — was possible. “If you really want to serve the people and not just your party, I think you will find that sweet spot and you can get it done,” he said. Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania appealed to Republicans to offer their own proposals. “You take some of our ideas. We’ll take some of your ideas. We may not love your ideas, but we’ll take them. If they don’t do that, I think this whole dynamic of this political year could turn around,” he said. Rendell and Schwarzenegger spoke from the sidelines of the National Governors Association meeting. Four leaders of the group, two Republicans and two Democrats, later summoned the media to a news conference and offered to strike a compromise between the warring factions in Washington. “We are making an offer to help and are very willing to roll up our sleeves and help if that’s what Congress and the president decided,” said Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen, a Democrat. The president will point out that Republicans have supported individual elements of the Democratic bills. Under the expected Obama plan, regulators would create a competitive marketplace for small businesses and people buying their own coverage. The plan would be paid for with a mix of Medicare cuts and tax increases. It would also strip out special Medicaid deals for certain states, while moving to close the Medicare prescription coverage gap and making newly available coverage for working families more affordable.

Can the garment industry save Haiti? By Jonathan M. Katz Associated Press Writer

Israel unveils new drone fleet that can reach Iran By Tia Goldenberg Associated Press Writer TEL NOF AIR FORCE BASE, Israel — Israel’s air force on Sunday introduced a fleet of huge pilotless planes that can remain in the air for a full day and could fly as far as the Persian Gulf, putting rival Iran within its range. The Heron TP drones have a wingspan of 86 feet, making them the size of Boeing 737 passenger jets and the largest unmanned aircraft in Israel’s military. The planes can fly at least 20 consecutive hours and are primarily used for surveillance and carrying diverse payloads. At the fleet’s inauguration ceremony at a sprawling air base in central Israel, the drone dwarfed an F-15 fighter jet parked beside it. The unmanned plane resembles its predecessor, the Heron, but can fly higher, reaching an altitude of more than 40,000 feet, and remain in the air longer. “With the inauguration of the Heron TP, we are realizing the air force’s dream,” said Brig. Gen. Amikam Norkin, com-

mander of the base that will operate the drones. “The Heron TP is a technological and operational breakthrough.” Israel’s military refused to say how large the new fleet is or whether the planes were designed for use against Iran, but stressed it was versatile and could adapt to new missions. Israeli defense officials said the Heron TP could be a useful tool against Iran. It could provide surveillance, jam enemy communications and connect ground control and manned air force planes. Israel considers Iran a strategic threat because of its nuclear program, long-range missiles and repeated references by its leaders to the Jewish state’s destruction. Israel has hinted at the possibility of a military strike against Iran if world pressure does not halt Tehran’s nuclear program. Israel and the United States believe Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons; Iran says its program is for peaceful purposes. In past conflicts, various types and sizes of unmanned planes have been used in mis-

sions like long-range surveillance and attacking enemy targets with guided missiles in conflicts like Iraq and Afghanistan, where anti-aircraft systems are rudimentary. Israeli defense analyst Shlomo Brom, a retired general and security expert at Tel Aviv University’s Institute for National Security Studies, called the new drone a breakthrough. “Its staying power and the height it can reach means it is able to cover ground continuously and it is able to cover large territory,” he said. Israel’s military was the first to make widespread use of drones in its 1982 invasion of Lebanon, according to Mark Daly, an expert on unmanned aircraft at Jane’s defense publications in London. Drones were seen as crucial to the Gaza onslaught by giving soldiers eyes in the air, keeping watch over rooftops and alleyways in congested urban areas — notifying troops of threats or obstacles in their path. The military says the huge new drone will give an added element to Israel’s ability to control its borders.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Jordanie Pinquie Rebeca leans forward and guides a piece of suit-jacket wool and its silky lining into a sewing machine, where — bat! bat! bat! — they’re bound together to be hemmed. If she does this for eight hours, she will earn $3.09. Her boss will ship the pinstriped suit she helped make to the United States, tariff-free. There a shopper will buy it from JoS. A. Bank Clothiers for $550. In the quest to rebuild Haiti, the international community and business leaders are dusting off a pre-quake plan to expand its low-wage garment assembly industry as a linchpin of recovery. President Barack Obama’s administration is on board, encouraging U.S. retailers to obtain from Haiti at least 1 percent of the clothes they sell. Garments are central to the economic growth plan commissioned by U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon last year, a report written by Oxford University economics professor. They say the sector could quickly produce hundreds of thousands of jobs thanks chiefly to two things: an existing preferential trade deal with the nearby United States, and cheap Haitian labor. The deal is the Haiti Hemispheric Opportunity through

still working there after the quake make the new “outsourcing” minimum wage of 125 gourdes a day, about $3.09 — approximately the same as the minimum wage in 1984 and worth less than half its previous purchasing power. For Haitians like Rebeca, who are unable to find other work, the chances of making that leap seem dim. “We’re just fighting to survive,” she said, sewing.

Partnership Encouragement Act, or “HOPE II.” Passed by the U.S. Congress in 2008, it lets Haiti export textiles dutyfree to the U.S. for a decade. Factory profit margins average about 22 percent, according to Washington-based Nathan Associates Inc. It was HOPE II that persuaded the bosses to move their Dominican plant and rename it DKDR Haiti SA. Nearly all the 1,200 people

Editorial:

Connections for a winning ticket Two teams have gathered enough signatures to lock in spots on the ballet. Government of the Student Body presidential candidate Luke Roling, a senior in chemical engineering and College of Engineering senator, and his running mate, Nate Dobbels, a senior in agriculture and life sciences education and College of Agriculture and Life Sciences senator, are squaring off against presidential candidate Chandra Peterson, a junior in political science and the current vice

president, and her running mate, Jacob Wilson, a junior in political science, off-campus senator and the current vice speaker of the senate. When it comes to Iowa State’s future and our position in the eyes of state, city and university officials, there’s a lot riding on next week’s vote. We hope you’re taking advantage of the opportunities they’re giving you to learn more about themselves and their positions on the issues, and that you take time out of your busy lives to prepare yourselves for the vote. We’re trying to. Between our interviews with both of the tickets and their impressive resumes, we felt reassured that each candidate places high value on connecting with students. It is, after all, the only way a representative democracy can adequately

represent its constituents. But the breadth and depth of the Peterson–Wilson ticket’s existing partnerships and relationships and their plans for the next year set them apart. From committing to increase support for diversity and inclusivity both on and off campus to managing sustainability and tackling student debt, Chandra is already knee-deep in the Campustown community. She plays leadership roles in the Campustown Student Association and the Campustown Action Association, and the pair has outlined detailed plans they hope to see completed during their tenure, much of which could even be fulfilled over the summer break. The Varsity Theater project plays a key role in our decision as well, and the Peterson–Wilson ticket made it clear that if the senate and Board of Regents approve the property lease, they would make the project’s financial success a top priority. The Peterson–Wilson ticket’s

devotion to its cause and their passion for success left all of us feeling comfortable they’d find a way to make it work. They also see the project as part of a comprehensive plan to build up Campustown into a business district next door that we could all feel proud to take our parents on a tour of, which leaves us excited about the year to come for the other side of Lincoln Way. The pair work well together too. Aside from occasionally finishing each other’s sentences, they don’t have trouble with stepping back and letting the other shine. And we feel confident the pair will represent the student body well in their meetings with the university’s administration and the Board of Regents. After our meeting with Chandra and Jacob, one of our editorial board members broke the silence with three words that

Woods’ Reaction:

summed up our time together well: “They have passion.” Chandra was overcome with emotion more than once. At one point in our meeting, “I love GSB” was all she could manage. It’s a passion for our community, a heartfelt devotion to making Iowa State and Ames a better place for students. But it’s more than passion, too. The Peterson–Wilson campaign has the drive and the tools to turn their campaign promises into reality — which is why their bid for your vote comes with our endorsement.

Tiger Woods walks away after making his statement at the Sawgrass Players Club on Friday, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.

Thanks for nothing News release unimportant, media response ridiculous

f you watched any TV or got online at all Friday, there’s a pretty good chance that you saw something about Tiger Woods, who apologized to friends, family and the rest of America for his many sexual transgressions at a midday news conference. You may have also seen, heard or read the insights of every sports pundit and their mother. On SportsCenter, for example, questions included: How sincere was Tiger? Why wasn’t his wife in the audience? What did his apology tell us about Buddhism? How would his sponsors react? Would viewers at home be more likely to trust his words when, halfway through the speech, the camera angle changed to look out at the audience? Trust me, I am not making these up. One commentator went so far as to suggest that, a decade from now, people would still be able to remember where they were and what they were doing when Tiger Woods gave his comeback speech. Are you kidding me? This was not one of those few profound moments in American history we will all remember. Americans remember where they were when John F. Kennedy was assassinated, when Martin Luther King delivered his speech from the Lincoln Memorial and when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. More recently, each and every American will always remember where they were when they first saw two planes crash into and bring down the World Trade Center towers. But a speech given by a golfer? Not a chance.

Steve Adams is a

graduate student in journalism and mass communication from Annapolis, Md.

Regardless of Tiger’s supreme world-famousness, he is, at the end of the day, just another stranger. An extremely gifted one, yes, but still just a stranger. He did not take a vow to me, he did not break a vow to me and I therefore do not care whether or not he broke a vow to his wife and embarrassed himself and his family by sleeping with dozens of women. Sure, I think that what he did was wrong and reprehensible, but what he does and says does not impact my life, and therefore doesn’t matter to me. Granted, his apology was likely meaningful to his family, friends and sponsors, but that’s it. Even Tiger’s golfer peers, whose sport has taken a huge hit in viewership and sponsorship dollars since his post-Thanksgiving hiatus, didn’t care about anything he said because he didn’t tell them the one thing they — and likely most golf fans — hoped he would: when he planned to golf again. Now all this does not mean Tiger’s speech, while unimportant and meaningless to the general public, was not informative. To the contrary, Tiger offered three very informative, albeit unfortunate, reminders. First, Tiger reminded us that wealthy and powerful males seem to quite often regard women as entitlements and privileges of their success. This not only goes for uber sports stars like Tiger and Kobe Bryant before him, but also for celebrities and congressmen, the

most recent of whom include intern-loving David Letterman, Kate-hating John Gosselin, baby-daddying John Edwards and allegedly Appalachian-hiking Mark Sanford. A second reminder is that a whole heap of married Americans, whether they’re as famous as Tiger or not, commit adultery and, whether it’s in the cards for Tiger or not, get divorced. While no statistics are available regarding adultery by married Americans, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that an estimated 2,162,200 Americans got married in 2009, while a whopping 1,065,775 got divorced. Of these divorces, it would seem fair to guess that perhaps a half of divorces are caused by affairs, meaning that roughly a quarter of all married people likely commit adultery. Thirdly and perhaps most unfortunately, Tiger’s apology makes clear that the American cable news media have completely given up on their responsibility to set an agenda based on what the American public needs to know. From CNN to Fox, the majority of channels carried the press conference live, and those that didn’t were sure to follow it up with hours of analysis. They did so not because they thought this was newsworthy content that would inform their audience, but that it was newsworthy simply because its dramatic nature might keep viewers from changing the channel. So, Tiger, thanks for nothing. You spoke words that I and the rest of America didn’t need to hear, but just because you’re you, I had to be exposed to them anyway. And if that weren’t bad enough, your speech called to mind the shortcomings of American celebrities, American marriage and the American media. And I thought you were supposed to be a golfer.

bout a week and a half ago, I had the privilege of seeing a $10 trillion bill. That’s trillion with a “t.” And it wasn’t a fake. The catch is, it was 10 trillion Zimbabwe dollars. There were 13 zeros on that bill, and yet it’s worth practically nothing. I checked eBay, and the very first listing gave me the option to purchase 580 trillion Zimbabwe dollars for 27 U.S. dollars. How did Zimbabwe get to this point? Their government, in order to keep up with its spending, kept printing money, which caused inflation. For those of you who are unfamiliar, inflation — according to Dictionary.com — is “a persistent, substantial rise in the general level of prices related to an increase in the volume of money and resulting in the loss of value of currency.” The following is a basic example of how inflation works: Imagine a country that produces only one good — hamburgers. Imagine this country has a total of 100 hamburgers in it. And imagine that all of the citizens combined have 100 dollars. Since there are 100 hamburgers and 100 dollars, each hamburger costs one dollar. Now imagine that the government of this country prints another 100 dollars, which it can then use to purchase hamburgers — since they are the only available product. Now there are 200 dollars in circulation, but still only 100 hamburgers, so a hamburger now costs two dollars. That means that the government will buy 50 hamburgers with its 100 dollars, and the citizens will buy a combined total of 50 hamburgers with their 100 dollars. By doubling the amount of money in circulation, the government managed to take half of the citizens’ stuff for itself. This is similar to how our government pays for many of its expenses. See, the nice thing about using inflation as a source of revenue is that it can be done quietly. A lot more people will notice a big vote in Congress for a new tax or a rapidly increasing national debt than will a little change in monetary policy. But if you happen to have any money, or if you ever buy anything using money — which I’m guessing most of you do — then this affects you. President Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress are spending more and more of your money, and they will need sources of revenue to pay for this spending. This will likely be one of the sources that will be utilized, so make sure that you’re looking out for it. Actually, make sure that you look out for it no matter what party is in power. The Republicans, too, are hardly innocent when it comes to this. So really, the point is, you should always remember that the government does not require a tax to steal your money.

‘Spirit Tracks’ brings crisp graphics, fun puzzles A s many of my friends — and now, anyone who reads this blog — may know, I’ve never particularly liked the Zelda franchise. I’ve tried on several occasions, but could never bring myself to get into it. After playing the newest entry, “The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks,” I’m not entirely sure why. Nintendo has always been the best at making use of their systems in innovative ways. Just look at first-party offerings compared to third-party titles for the Wii: “Metroid Prime 3” compared to “Red Steel,” for example. It should come as no surprise then that “Spirit Tracks” is a quality title that takes advantage of the DS in playing off of its unique dual-screen design, touch-screen controls and microphone as well as raw processing power. For starters, it looks gorgeous. The animations are smooth, field of vision is wide and there’s even — gasp — shading. I loved blasting cannons or playing with the various gadgets Link acquires just to see the wealth and range of particle effects in particular. The outside landscape textures are just a teensy bit flat for those of us who are spoiled on the offerings of home consoles, but for a handheld they’re actually rather impressive. My personal gripe with the DS has always been the fragile, low-res, papercutout look of so many models — no matter the developer — so I was quite pleased to see the models for “Spirit Tracks” are surprisingly crisp and solidlooking. The cartoon style of Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass is back, and some of that personality seems to have rubbed off on dear ol’ Zelda a bit. Some of her lines are a bit stereotypically anime-inspired, but it doesn’t get to the point of annoyance, a la Navi from “Ocarina of Time.” It shouldn’t take much guessing — even from someone unfamiliar with the franchise — that the plot revolves around saving the land of Hyrule and Princess Zelda, though she does play a larger role this time around. Also, as you’ve no doubt noticed, “Spirit Tracks” is so named because of the railways you’ll be traversing. These railways also happen to be my biggest problem with the game. Traveling by train is treated as a puzzle, with unique boss fights, obstacles to overcome and instructions to follow. This is not what is bad about traveling by train. What’s annoying is so many quests will have you running back and forth from place to place, with no option for travel other than your train. The train isn’t painfully slow, but it’s not exactly fast either, not to mention the very nature of a railroad means you can’t go anywhere other than down pre-determined routes.

This week, Sophie Prell reviews the new game in the Zelda franchise, “Spirit Tracks.” Courtesy photo: Nintendo of America

Thankfully, train riding gets a bit more interesting in the last third of the game, where there are more challenges to keep you on your toes. For the first two-thirds, it can come across as tedious and time-consuming, particularly when you’re just eager to get to the next dungeon to figure out the next great puzzle. Speaking of puzzles, I should mention the Zelda games, more so than any other franchise I know of, are based on exploration and puzzlesolving. That may seem pretty basic information or arbitrary to the Zelda fans who’ve been with the series for a long time, but hey, some of us are just

That’s probably what I like so much about “Spirit Tracks,” actually. It’s not easy, but it doesn’t just throw you against the wind and say “Go!” either. This is totally newcomer-friendly and doesn’t punish you for seeking help. In

fact, the top screen of the DS functions as a map, meaning that — theoretically — you’ll never be lost. The big perk to this is not only its availability, but functionality as well. By selecting the option from the in-game menu, you’re able to draw directly onto the map. This is useful in so many ways, from helping locate treasure and solving puzzles to navigating a dungeon without getting lost. No longer are directions relative or obscure; you can see and map out exactly where you need to go and what you need to do. The touch screen is also used to control Link entirely, meaning no D-

pad support. It’s something that takes a little getting used to since you’ll likely hold the DS in an entirely different fashion than you’re used to, but it’s solid and accurate. This solid control extends beyond Link himself and into the gadgetry he’ll acquire, with each device utilizing a different function of the DS. Want to start a whirlwind? Blow into the microphone. Want to throw your boomerang? Trace the path you want the trajectory to follow. Each new dungeon presents an interesting challenge and puzzle utilizing these acquired skills. The combat isn’t exactly the most exciting thing around, but just like the levels themselves, will tease your brain a bit. Plenty of enemies must be dealt with in specific ways, so you can’t just go weed-whacking through Hyrule — although doing so might earn you some pretty rupees. “Spirit Tracks” has a nicely-implemented multiplayer mode, which only requires one copy of the game — a handy feature, to be sure. In it, you’ll go head-to-head with up to three of your friends to collect Force Gems while avoiding enemies and utilizing traps to edge out the competition. It can be hectic and a bit confusing with the Link-frenzy going on, but it’s still plenty of fun. As it should be though, singleplayer is the main focus. It’s here you’ll spend most of your time, hunting down treasure, rescuing kingdoms ... you know, everyday stuff. Sound has always been another personal vendetta of mine against the Zelda series, as the franchise has yet to implement full voice-acting. It’s something that comes with the territory, though, and the writing isn’t long-winded in this particular entry, so this can be easily forgiven. The music is delightful and varied, including background music and tunes available for Link to play on the Spirit Flute. I may just have to listen to the soundtrack a few dozen more times. You know ... for reference. In fact, there’s a lot about this game I could do over again, with the aforementioned exception of train travel. If you’ve been wondering about the Zelda series or even hesitant like me, you owe it to yourself to pick up “Spirit Tracks.” It might just change

Miller rallies for win, gold and pride WHISTLER, British Columbia — Bode Miller finally won his elusive gold medal, using a blistering slalom run Sunday to complete one of the most unlikely Olympic comebacks ever. Four years after bombing out amid lofty expectations at the Turin Games and a year after practically walking away from the sport, Miller won the super-combined for his third medal in as many events at Vancouver. Seventh after the morning downhill run, Miller skied the third-fastest afternoon slalom leg for a two-run time of 2 minutes, 44.92 seconds — a comfortable 0.33 ahead of Ivica Kostelic of Croatia, who matched his silver medal at Turin. Silvan Zurbriggen of Switzerland claimed bronze, 0.40 back. For a guy who has insisted that medals aren’t important, this one clearly was special. “The way I executed, the way I skied, is something I’ll be proud of the rest of my life,” Miller said. “I skied with 100 percent heart — I didn’t hold anything back. ... It’s just awesome. There’s nothing else to say.”

Dutch skater handles rivals in final lap RICHMOND, British Columbia — Coasting along in the practice lane, Ireen Wust realized she had another gold while the last two skaters were still on the track. The Dutch woman pumped both arms toward the roof of the Richmond Olympic Oval, while a stunned home crowd watched favorite Christine Nesbitt labor across the finish line. With an astonishing final lap, Wust answered all those who questioned her success four years ago by winning gold in the 1,500 meters Sunday. “Pulling all the pieces together, I’m so proud and happy. I can’t describe how happy I am. I don’t have words for it,” an emotional Wust said. “I think I’m the happiest person on Earth right now.” Canada had two strong medal contenders in Nesbitt and Kristina Groves. But Nesbitt, winner of the 1,000, burned herself out and had nothing left for the final lap, fading to a disappointing sixth-place finish. Groves did give the Maple Leaf-waving crowd something to cheer about, claiming the silver. Martina Sablikova of the Czech Republic added to the gold she won in the 3,000 by taking bronze at half that distance.

Lacey, Poppens tandem pushes Iowa State to win By Jordan Wickstrom Daily Staff Writer With 18:31 remaining in the second half, freshman forward Chelsea Poppens took a pass from senior guard Alison Lacey and scored her 12th point of the ballgame on a layup. That basket was Lacey’s fifth assist of the game, but, more importantly, her 500th career assist. Lacey now holds the distinction as being the first player in school history to post 1,500 points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists throughout her career. “[Lacey’s] one of the most complete players to ever play here,” said coach Bill Fennelly. “She’s impacted the team’s success in a variety of ways. In the kind of way that when our team needed it, especially this year, she’s a scorer, she rebounds and she’s someone who can share the ball. Certainly those are statistics that I don’t know if we’ll have someone like that again.” There were many questions surrounding Lacey’s status for Saturday’s game versus Missouri. After suffering a concussion, Lacey missed Wednesday’s game and was held out of practice. However, the injury did not seem to affect her. The Cyclones’ captain scored 17 points and dished out eight assists while playing 38 minutes in the 55–42 win. “[The concussion] was mild. It wasn’t that bad,” Lacey said. “I maybe could’ve played on Wednesday, but I wasn’t 100 percent and we didn’t want to

throw me out there. I just needed an extra day to rest up and get my head back and not have headaches. It felt good tonight to get out there and wear the uniform again.” And while it was Lacey who reached a career milestone Saturday, it was actually a freshman who took center stage for the Cyclones. Poppens scored 21 points and grabbed a career-high 16 rebounds. Saturday’s game added to her recent dominance against Missouri. In only two games, Poppens has

averaged 17.5 points and 12.5 rebounds per game. “I’ve been working on my offensive shooting and being more powerful and strong underneath the basket, so I guess it just transferred over to the game,” Poppens said. Missouri had a difficult time stopping the Cyclones from dominating the offensive glass. Iowa State had 16 offensive rebounds during the game.

Poppens’ play mirrors legend Welle Huge crowd present to witness Cyclones dominate paint By Travis J. Cordes Daily Staff Writer On the night former Cyclone Angie Welle saw her famous number 32 unfurled in the rafters of Hilton Coliseum, it was fitting that the action on the court was strikingly reminiscent of the style of play that made Welle dangerously effective a decade ago. Rather than shooting opponents down from long range as it has all season, Iowa State (20–5, 8–4 in the Big 12) switched its focus to the paint, where it outscored Missouri 34–16. The Cyclones made a season-low two 3-pointers against the Tigers. At times, freshman Chelsea Poppens appeared to be the second coming of Welle, contributing a prolific, yet efficient performance by shooting 9–12 from the floor on her way to a teamhigh 21 points and 16 rebounds. “The matchup is better for [Poppens] against Missouri,” said coach Bill Fennelly. “They were very committed to not let us shoot the three. So when that happens you have to be able to throw the ball into the post once and awhile and score. Tonight, Pop wanted the ball and we got her the ball, which allowed her to score in a variety of ways.” Poppens has come on strong for the Cyclones in recent weeks, as she has pulled down 46 rebounds in her

last four consecutive games — 11.5 per game — and notched her third career double-double Saturday night. Her 16 rebounds were a career high while coming just one point short of her career high in scoring, a testament to the hard work she’s been putting in during conference play. “I’ve been working on my shooting and being more powerful and strong underneath the basket,” Poppens said. “And it’s started to transfer over to the games.” Even after making 36 threes in their previous two games, the ISU coaching staff had decided early to make the inside game be a key factor against Missouri. The outcome was similar to the game plan that allowed Poppens to score 14 points in the first half against Missouri two weeks ago in Columbia, where the Cyclones outscored the Tigers 26–10 in the paint. Another well-organized and efficient attack in the paint on Saturday led to Missouri’s demise once again, as Iowa State had a .542 field goal percentage on 35 shots from inside the 3-point line. “This just shows our progress from the start of the year,” said senior Alison Lacey, who added 17 points and eight assists. “Everyone says we’re just a 3-point shooting team, but the posts are starting to prove those people wrong.” Along with fellow freshmen Anna Prins and Amanda Zimmerman, the trio managed to score 14 of the team’s first 18 points in an 18–2 run that started the game. Iowa State converted on eight of its first nine field-goal

Familiar storyline frustrates team, fans Slow start in loss to Texas A&M leaves Iowa State reeling, looking for answers

Aggie defense keeps Cyclones out of lane, forces flawed 3-point range shooting

By Nate Sandell Daily Staff Writer

By Michael Zogg Daily Staff Writer

The storyline Saturday was one the Cyclones have become familiar with. As has been the case all season, Iowa State hung with No. 24 Texas A&M for most of the game, but ultimately could not overcome the Aggies, losing 60–56. The close loss, which was the Cyclones sixth in a row and another addition to Iowa State’s long list of close losses this season, left a bitter sting. “We’re all a little heartbroken. It’s right there and we all know we need to make that one extra play to win,” said center Justin Hamilton. “It was a tough one. It was really emotional on a lot of our players. We were right there, but couldn’t cut through.” The Cyclones trailed by 10 points at one point in the second half, but fought back to within one by the two-minute mark. However, a missed opportunity with less than a minute left, on a possession Iowa State could have tied the game, was

As Texas A&M packed in its defense, guarding the lane, the Aggies dared the Cyclones to shoot from the outside. Iowa State accepted the challenge, putting up 20 3-point shots, but fell 60–56 after only making five threes. “When their defensive plan is designed to muddy up the lane like it is, you’re going to have to make a few shots to loosen that up and we weren’t able to do that consistently enough,” coach Greg McDermott said. Three-point shooting has been a struggle for the Cyclones ever since the departure of former junior guard Lucca Staiger, who left the team to return to Germany midway through the season. Staiger, who was the team’s 3-point shooting specialist, spearheaded an impressive ISU 3-point threat. On Jan. 17, the day after Staiger’s final game with Iowa State, the Cyclones’ 3-point shooting was

enough to allow the Aggies to hold on to the victory. After a dismal start to Wednesday’s game against Oklahoma State put the Cyclones in a deep hole early, Iowa State came into Saturday’s game with an energy that was not present a few days earlier. Iowa State started strong and immediately kept pace with the Aggies, trailing by only three at halftime. “I’m not going to fault their effort. I thought their effort from the opening tip was where it needed to be,” said coach Greg McDermott. “We had some execution breakdowns at times and we had times when we flat out missed shots.”

ranked eighth in the nation, shooting 41.8 percent from behind the arc. Staiger accounted for 2.8 3-pointers a game on 42.5 percent shooting, the 31st best percentage in the country. Since the loss of Staiger, the Cyclones have gone cold from 3-point land, shooting just 34 percent from behind the arc in the 10 games since Staiger left, a stretch in which Iowa State has stumbled through a 1–9 record. Against the Aggies those struggles continued. Although Iowa State did get open looks, they were unable to convert frequently enough. “Scott [Christopherson’s] looks were good, all five of them,” McDer-

Seven seniors say goodbye at Hilton By Jake Calhoun Daily Staff Writer

wrestling in Hilton,” Fanthorpe said. “But you just try to take advantage of the moment.” Senior Mitch Mueller recorded an early takedown on Dustin Payne to take a 2–0 lead with less than a minute ticked off the clock of the 149-pound match. Another nearfall, a two-point nearfall and a three-point nearfall later, Mueller found himself leading the true freshman, 9–1, after one period. Mueller made the match look like child’s play against Payne, preceding to record another three-point nearfall and three more takedowns en route to an 18–3 technical fall with a fall time of 4:34. “He’s finally wrestling to his true potential,” Jackson said of Mueller. “He came in as a freshman with high expectations, and he hasn’t accomplished his goals yet, he hasn’t become an AllAmerican yet. I know he’s capable of being an All-American and putting himself in a position to challenge for a national championship, and I think he’s finally gotten back the confidence that he probably lost a little bit over the last couple of years.” Mueller’s technical fall and sophomore Andrew Sorenson’s 18–5 major decision over Tyler Koehn put the Cyclones ahead, 21–3, at the five-match intermission. Duke Burk took to the mat for the last time of his two-year career as a Cyclone staring down the fourth-ranked wrestler in the nation, Stephen Dwyer. After an impressive tiebreaker pin by Burk over Missouri’s Dorian Henderson at last week’s 28–10 dual meet victory over the Tigers, the crowd of 3,507 in attendance was expecting a similar situation against a tougher opponent at

Without any music playing from the sound system, a rare occurrence at the regularly-rocking Hilton Coliseum, a band of seven teary-eyed seniors lined up for the final time, silently vowing to make their last dual meet at Hilton a memorable one. Iowa State (13–2, 4–0 Big 12) finished its season with a 34–7 dual meet victory against conference rival Nebraska (9–11, 0–4). “I think we’re heading in the right direction,” said coach Kevin Jackson, whose Cyclones won eight of the dual’s 10 matches. “We’ve got a couple weeks to hammer out some strong training and put a razor-sharp edge on these guys heading into [the Big 12 Championships] and springboard that into the NCAA Tournament.” Andrew Long began the season finale by pinning Nebraska’s David Klingsheim with a fall time of 6:43 to pin six points on the board early for the second-ranked Cyclones. The redshirt freshman from Creston struggled in the second period, giving up nearly a minute of riding time to his Nebraska foe, but a turn of the tides in the third period gave him the opportunity to get Klingsheim turned for the fall. Senior Nick Fanthorpe followed Long’s astonishing feat with his final match under the roof of Hilton by recording the fastest pin of his career against the Huskers’ C.J. Napier with a fall time of 2:32. Fanthorpe’s pin gave him his 97th career victory in a cardinal-and-gold singlet. “It’s hard to believe it’s our last time

the 174-pound match. Dwyer went after Burk early, acquiring over two minutes of riding time en route to a 4–1 lead after the first period. Burk continued to struggle, receiving a call for stalling, giving Dwyer a 10–2 lead with 0:35 left in the third period. Despite a courageous effort, Burk fell to Dwyer by a major decision of 11– 2, giving up over four minutes of riding time in Dwyer’s favor. “We’re a little disappointed,” Jackson said of Burk’s match. “I thought

Duke competed hard, but [Dwyer] was that much tougher.” “Welcome to the Show” belted through the speakers as Iowa State’s Jake Varner and Nebraska’s Craig Brester took the mat in the marquee matchup of the dual. Varner and Brester, both undefeated and ranked first and second in the nation, respectively, have squared off four times previous to their match yesterday, with Varner holding a 3–1 advantage in the series. Varner had beaten Brester in the championship

match of last year’s NCAA Tournament by a decision of 2–1 to win the national title at 197 pounds. Brester scored an early takedown, which was quickly followed by an escape by Varner to notch the score at 2–1 in Brester’s favor at the end of the first period. Varner stared down the third period tied at 2–2 with riding time against his favor, with Brester making the escape

US men lose to Britain, likely out of contention

Ovechkin, Malkin spotlight win over Czech Republic

By Janie Mccauley AP Sports Writer

By Ira Podell AP Hockey Writer

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The U.S. men’s Olympic curling run is all but over. Scottish skip David Murdoch’s British team handed the foursome a 4–2 loss Sunday. That dropped the Americans to 2–5, practically assuring their elimination from semifinal contention. Murdoch’s world champion team is 4–3 and bounced back from a tough loss to Canada a night earlier. Murdoch nailed what has become a routine draw to the button on his throw, pulling out a big win to boost his team’s playoff chances. The Americans went ahead with a point in the second. Murdoch then scored a go-

“We’re going to give Canada all they can handle tomorrow,” Shuster said. “We’re going to be out there playing for pride.” Said teammate John Benton, “If we go out and win that game it’s a big statement either way.” Alternate Chris Plys returned to the lineup as coach Phill Drobnick sat Benton this time just to give him a break. It was the second lineup switch after Drobnick benched the struggling Shuster for Friday’s win over France. Both Smith and Shuster had their share of problems placing their stones Sunday. “I was thinking about it sitting on the bench today. At this point it’s hard to go back and try to take those things back,” Benton said.

It’s too bad Jason and I struggled a little bit,” skip and third shooter John Shuster said. “What makes it so hard is we’ve been in all these games. If we’d gone out here and gotten blown away in a bunch of games it would probably feel a lot worse. We came here and battled this week.” The United States takes on unbeaten Canada (7–0) Monday morning. If the Americans beat Canada and China in their final two games they would still have a mathematical shot of forcing a tiebreaker.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The open-ice smackdown by the NHL MVP was the spotlight moment of Russia’s 4–2 victory over the Czech Republic on Sunday. Alexander Ovechkin also had two assists and Evgeni Malkin scored two goals as Russia bounced back from a disappointing shootout loss to Slovakia. Ovechkin, playing on a new line with Washington Capitals teammate Alexander Semin and Malkin, rocked Canada Hockey Place when he throttled Jagr. Jagr, who a day earlier called Ovechkin the best player in the world, had circled with the puck before the Russian caught him high with his arm. “This is the Olympics and he’ll get better for the next game,” Ovechkin said through an interpreter. “I was not the only one going for it. Every one of our players fought very strongly today to win.” The crunching hit came just before Semin found Malkin in the right circle for a goal that

made it 3–1 at 1:49 of the third period. “I made one turnover there and it cost us the game. I feel horrible,” Jagr said. “I didn’t see if it was an elbow or not. It doesn’t really matter. It wasn’t called. They got the puck, they scored. That heals, but the mistake doesn’t heal. “I wish I had a concussion and just forget what happened, but I remember it.” In this rematch of the 1998 Olympic goldmedal game, won 1–0 by the Czechs, Russia scored in every period to claim first place in Group B with seven points. Malkin gave Russia (2–0–1–0) a 1–0 lead in the first and made it a two-goal edge thanks to Ovechkin’s muscle. “Oh, I think it’s a great moment of the Olympics Games,” Malkin said. “After we score, of course it’s a great moment.” Viktor Kozlov also scored for Russia, and Pavel Datsyuk added an empty-netter off assists from Ovechkin and Malkin with 12.3 seconds remaining. Tomas Plekanec and Milan Michalek had goals for the Czechs (2–0-0–1).

Joke of the Day When Grandpa and Billy entered their vacation cabin, they kept the lights off until they were inside to keep from attracting insects. Still, a few fireflies followed them in. Noticing them before Grandpa did, Billy whispered, ‘It’s no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights.’

mott said. “That’s the same guy that was knocking them down the other night. [Junior guard Diante Garrett] has been shooting it with more confidence, and I’ve given him a little bit more rope to shoot that shot because he has been shooting it well in practice.” Since the Cyclones are struggling from behind the arc, they are looking at possibly scaling back the number of 3-pointers that they shoot. “A lot of those threes we got are pretty wide-

from PAGE 8 Iowa State shot 40 percent in the first half, but the shooting percentage dropped in the second half to 33 on 19-of-59 shooting. Much of those shooting struggles came from Iowa State’s leading scorers Craig Brackins and Marquis Gilstrap, who both struggled early. Gilstrap went 1-of-7 from the field, before a trio of 3-pointers in the second half helped him end with 15 points (5-of14). Brackins finished the game with 10 points off 4-of-16 shooting. The duo has shot a combined 29 percent over the last four games, with Brackins going 18-of-68 and Gilstrap 17-of-51. Gilstrap’s and Brackins’ struggles forced the Cyclones to find points from another source. Guard Diante Garrett took the lead and by halftime

open shots,” McDermott said. “When you’re 15 seconds into the shot clock and you get that shot, you probably have to take it. We might have to use a little bit better judgment early in the clock, and that is something we will evaluate on film.” Garrett feels the team is just going through a slump, however, and that they will be able to turn it back around. “They’re good shots,” Garrett said. “We are getting wide-open shots. Guys are getting in the gym and getting a lot of shots up, we just aren’t hitting them right now, but we will.”

led the team with 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting. Garrett went on to finish with a game-high 15 points, tying Gilstrap. “I try to be the leader. Get [Brackins and Gilstrap] the best shots they could get, but if they’re not falling for them, then I try to pick it up for them,” Garrett said. Iowa State’s starting lineup shouldered much of the load as the Cyclones received zero points from their bench. “We went with the starters a lot this afternoon, and that was not anything that was predetermined on my part,” McDermott said. “I just felt this afternoon that group was playing the best together.” But despite the efforts of the starting five, it was not enough to prevent Saturday’s game from being added to Iowa State’s long list of close losses this season. “There is no one in the world more upset than they are right now,” McDermott said about his team. “I just left Craig Brack-

ins in the locker room and he is very distraught because he’s invested a lot and when you invest a lot you expect results.” The Cyclones have lost eight of their last nine games and are now under .500, with only four games remaining. Although Saturday’s loss seemed to have been one of most emotionally draining games of the season for the Cyclones, McDermott said it is important the team continue to pick itself up and move on. “This team has really stuck together,” McDermott said. “But you need the bounce of the ball once in a while and you need lady luck to shine on you. And you just need to keep working hard in hopes and know that sooner or later your hard work will pay off. “It’s my job and our job as a coaching staff to keep them believing in themselves. It’s hard for me and I’m 45. They’re 18, 19, and 20 so it is a little harder for them.”

from the down position to go up 3–2. The electrified crowd jumped up after Varner scored a takedown with 0:38 left to go in the match to go up 4–3. After an escape by Brester to tie the score at 4–4, Varner had successfully been able to shake Brester’s riding time to under a minute to prevent the extra point being awarded to his archrival. The juggernauts headed to a sudden victory period that would decide who would receive the No. 1 ranking at 197 pounds. After nearly notching a takedown early in the overtime period, Varner failed to solidify his position on top of Brester to force both wrestlers to

restart in the middle. With 0:03 left in the sudden victory period, Varner took Brester down to finalize the victory over his archrival for a fourth time, 6–4. “I just kept wrestling,” Varner said. “I wasn’t going to let him beat me like that, scoring a takedown and not wrestling the rest of the match, and I just kept wrestling after that takedown. I knew I had to ride him for a little bit to get that riding time off and it went into overtime and I knew I was going to get my takedown then.” Varner’s victory handed Brester his first loss of the season while improving his record to a team-best 24–0. Iowa State heads south to Norman, Okla., to compete in the Big 12 Championships on March 6.

player in ISU history, as she still holds the career records for points scored, 2,149; rebounds, 1,209; field goals made; fieldgoal percentage; and free throws made. She is the only player in program history to have reached the 2,000-point mark or the 1,000-rebound mark. The native of Fargo, N.D., who was a member of four NCAA Tournament teams, was immortalized as one of just four women’s basketball players to have their number retired. The 11,212 on hand was the second largest crowd of the season, as long-time Cyclone fans came out in droves to honor Welle and the rest of the 2000 NCAA Sweet 16 team, which was also recognized at halftime. “At the time that team was playing, I didn’t even know Iowa existed or what Iowa State was,” Lacey said. “But now they step out on the court and I can name every single player. Coach Fennelly does a great job of making us remember the players who have been here before us and that they’re the reason we get to play in front of 10,000 people.”

Both Poppens and senior guard Denae Stuckey combined for 10 of the 16 boards and caused problems for Missouri, which had trouble stopping the Cyclones’ dominance on the offensive glass. Poppens credits the work with some of Iowa State’s coaches to her success rebounding the ball. “I’m definitely going more aggressive toward the ball,” Poppens said. “Coach [Jack] Easley and coach [Latoja] Schaben have been working with us posts about boxing out and going straight for the ball because obviously you get rebounds and other people get open.” With the win, Iowa State is now tied with Texas for third in the Big 12 standings and can still clinch second place in the conference.
