Female students may be exposing themselves to risks while drinking alcohol. Research shows that alcohol intake may be linked to an increased risk of breast cancer.

According to an article by The Telegraph, published Feb. 15, 2013, a study done by Boston University School of Medicine and Boston University School of Public Health showed that alcohol consumption is thought to cause 15 percent of breast cancer deaths.

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism website says

that four out of five college students drink alcohol, and half of those students consume alcohol through binge drinking.

Women don’t realize how little they have to drink to put themselves at risk.

According to a study published in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA), Nov. 2, 2011, “consumption of three to six alcoholic drinks per week is associated with a small increase in the risk of breast cancer.”

“One issue with alcohol is whether it’s modest intake or abusing it,”

ROTC mission exceeds standards

By Paul.Ehrsam @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s ROTC Army division has won the prestigious MacArthur Award for the second year in a row, establishing themselves as one of the top programs in the country.

According to the U.S. Army website, the award is based on a combination of the school’s commis-

sioning mission and its cadet’s performance and standing on the Command’s national Order of Merit list and its cadet retention rate.

February 21, the Army’s Cadet Command announced that the Iowa State Army ROTC was one of the eight schools among 273 ROTC programs nationwide to be awarded the MacArthur Award.

“What this is, we are now one of the top eight in

the country which makes 265 other schools want to be where we’re sitting at,” said Lt. Col. Richard smith, professor of military science. “We’re up there with the big boys, and it’s that national level recognition that means a lot to the program and the kids.”

Police Blotter:

Ames, ISU Police Departments

The information in the log comes from the ISU and City of Ames police departments’ records.

All those accused of violating the law are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Feb. 23 Bryan Martin, 19, 2316 Birch Hall, was arrested on warrants, charging him with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia at Maple-Willow-Larch (reported at 10:11 p.m.).

Zachary Waller, 21, 2153 Martin Hall, was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and public intoxication at Martin Hall (reported at 10:58 p.m.).

Feb. 24 Anthony Kugel, 20, 1282 Birch Hall, was cited for underage possession of alcohol at the 100 block of Stanton Avenue (reported at 12:42 a.m.).

Mark Stratman, 22, 2140 Sunset Drive, was arrested and charged with public intoxication at the 2200 block of Knapp Street. (reported at 1:18 a.m.).

Jason Vacek, 22, 508 Hayward Ave., was arrested and charged with public intoxication at Hayward Avenue and Mortensen Parkway (reported at 2:30 a.m.).

An individual reported the theft of an iPad at Wilson Hall (reported at 2:15 a.m.).

David Buse, 26, 4518 Hutchison St., Apt. 6, was arrested and charged with

operating while intoxicated at Highway 30 and South Duff Avenue. (reported at 2:53 a.m.).

An individual reported damage to a vehicle at Lot 63 (reported at 12:45 p.m.).

Jacob Allen, 21, of Boone, was arrested and charged with carrying weapons at Hyland Avenue and Lincoln Way. He was subsequently released on citation (reported at 5:55 p.m.).

An individual reported damage to a vehicle at Lot 3 (reported at 9:24 p.m.).

Feb. 25 Kathryn McCoy, 28, 4112 Lincoln Swing, Apt. 104, was arrested on a warrant held by the Story County Sheriff’s Office at Grand Avenue and Lincoln Way (reported at 5:53 a.m.).

then was handed over to student affairs for further investigation.

“The tweets were reported to the university between [Feb.] 25 and 26,” said Dean of Students Pamela Anthony. “All I can acknowledge is that we have launched an investigation.”

Anthony could not divulge any information as to the actions of the investigation, citing FERPA for not being able to do so.

Johnson drew immediate criticism from ISU fans for his decision to dunk the ball with three seconds remaining in overtime on Monday. At the time, the Jayhawks were already leading 106-96.

After the game, Johnson apologized during an interview, during which “boos” rained down from the remaining ISU fans in attendance.

The tweets sent to Johnson are part of a myriad of poor fan behavior displayed after the overtime loss to Kansas on Monday: ■■ As the Jayhawks were exiting, fans hurled objects onto the floor and at the KU players.

■■ One fan also found his way onto the court and approached KU coach Bill Self after the game but was stopped by security before he could reach Self.

■■ Fans also began to throw miniature

An individual reported the theft of a laptop computer at Scheman Building (reported at 12:58 p.m.).

An individual reported a case of online harassment at Frederiksen Court (reported at 1:15 p.m.).

‘Bad apples’ cause surge from stir Hours before the game had begun, students began to congregate on the steps of Hilton, waiting for the doors to open. Once the doors were opened, a wave of students surged past security, which caused one door to be knocked from its hinge, stalling students from entering.

“Ninety-nine percent of the students were well behaved,” said ISU Athletic Director Jamie Pollard. “There’s always going to be a couple of bad apples, and a couple of bad apples I think caused a stir, which I think caused the surge. They had to shut down the doors temporarily and go back to single-file.”

Once the fans were inside Hilton, security and ushers worked to get fans to their seats and keep order.

“Our house security staff makes sure that all of the needs of the fans are met, seats are filled, and [to] address any inappropriate behavior,” said Chris Jorgensen, sr. associate athletic director of facilities, planning and management. “For something like the Kansas game, we also bring in a security firm by the name of Contemporary Services Corporation [CSC]. They are trained to handle larger crowds.”

Security was in full force due to the

number of fans in attendance. Extra security was stationed by the doors as well as the aisles.

“We had a full house with an electric atmosphere,” Jorgensen said. “As with any event and crowds of that size, we do have those that choose to misbehave, but the vast majority of our fan-base was outstanding.”

Assisting Hilton security was the Ames Police Department and the ISU Police Department in the event that any situation could become too difficult for security to handle.

“There’s a difference between rule violations and criminal violations,” said Geoff Huff, investigations commander for the Ames Police Department. “So we generally step in when it’s a criminal matter.

When it’s bad sportsmanship, the ushers and security guards handle that.”

Huff said there are approximately five officers at Hilton at all times, all of whom are responsible for the security of players, coaches and referees.

Several officers are also stationed in the main concord of the stadium, lending a helping hand to security when needed.

However, Huff said arrests are “usually very minimal.”

Koithan and Sitzmann’s Twitter accounts have since been removed from the site, and no further information has been provided at this time.

An individual reported a dent in a car door at University Village (reported at 2:55 p.m.).

An individual reported the theft of a laptop computer at Frederiksen Court (reported at 3:38 p.m.).

Every year the U.S. Army Cadet Command and the Gen. Douglas MacArthur Foundation reward eight schools that best recognize the ideals of “duty, honor, and country” as advocated by MacArthur.

“It proves to us, to [the] school and the state what level we’re on,” said Adam Schilling, battalion commander and senior in industrial technology.

“It means a lot know that we won the MacArthur award, because we train harder for it and it kind of sets us apart.”

Schilling believes that one reason ISU Army ROTC excels is because they strive not only to meet the goals but to exceed them.

“One thing that helps set us apart is we look to exceed the standard and we set that as our personal standard,” Schilling said. “For example, with the personal training tests, for us to pass you have to get a 180 out of 300, but we want to shoot for that 300.

Winning the MacArthur award will hopefully spread the word to prospective students thinking about ROTC. “When we have someone

thinking about where they want to go to school, and know they want to do ROTC and want to be an officer they’re trying to figure out where do I want to go?” Smith said. “You want to go to the best and in the Midwest you want to come here.”

The principles that the ca-

dets learn while working towards the MacArthur award will stay with them for a long time after they have left Iowa State.

“The effort, the motivation, the dedication they put in now will make them better officers later on, and will lead to great opportunities,” Smith said.

on the typicality of weather.

“The key is unnecessary, undue risk,” Hill said. “It depends on how out of the ordinary the weather is. The goal is never to put anyone’s safety at risk.”

Around a dozen students were treated at Thielen Student Health Center on Tuesday for storm-related injuries, including broken bones, head injuries, strains, sprains and lower back pain.

Snow removal at the university is performed by the facilities planning and management department. Staff began snow removal at 2 a.m. Wednesday, clearing the 32 miles of sidewalk before students made their way to classes.

“Most routes take about four to five hours to clear,” Lawson said.

Although Lawson and the facilities staff spend hours clearing campus of snow, the sidewalks appear unsafe. In some places, they are entirely covered by ice and slush.

“The sidewalks will always have stuff on them that we can’t get off,” Lawson said.

The workers never stop working all day to clear the continuously falling snow, Lawson said.

ISU Facilities Planning and Management uses plows, broom machines and sanders to clear the sidewalks, roads and parking lots of snow as best they can while students hurry to classes around them.

“During my tenure, I think university administration has done an incredible job making those decisions,” Hill said. “It’s not perfect, but we make the best calls we can.”

Iowa State’s many sidewalks are the only option for students and faculty because some buses only take one route through the heart of campus.

“I’m not going to lie to you; I fell this morning,” Hill said.

“Maybe if classes had been canceled, it wouldn’t have happened.

Odds are I would have gone to the store, and I still might have fell anyway.”

Asteroids reasonable possibility on Earth

By Brian.Day @iowastatedaily.com In 1998, a movie about an enormous asteroid the size of Texas making its way toward Earth was released. Upon impact with Earth, this asteroid would destroy everything in its path and end civilization. This movie is called “Armageddon.”

However unlikely the plot of this movie may sound, experts in the field of asteroid deflection and the people of NASA know all too well that the basis for this movie may not be as farfetched as people might think.

Professor Bong Wie is the director of the only Asteroid Deflection Research Center in the United States located at Iowa State University.

As director of the Asteroid Deflection Research Center, Wie and his colleagues study the deflection of asteroids, or what NASA calls Near-Earth Objects, and come up with ways to deflect NEOs off their path in case one of them ever poses a potential threat to Earth.

All of the recent national attention concerning asteroids and meteors stems from the 55-foot long, 10,000-ton meteor that blasted through Earth’s atmosphere and exploded just above Russia on Feb. 15.

Only 16 hours later, an asteroid, this time about 50 yards long, missed Earth by about 17,000 miles, which is a relatively short distance when talking in space terms.

The amount of people injured by the shockwave from this meteor blast totaled 1,150; this was exactly the wakeup call that NASA needed to realize the potential threat of NEOs. In the case of an asteroid heading toward Earth, Wie said the way they attempt

to deflect the asteroid away from the planet would eerily resemble the way the world was saved in “Armageddon.”

“For the first time in human history, we may be able to use weapons of mass destruction to deflect, disrupt or fragment any incoming asteroid, if needed,” Wie said.

While sending an atomic bomb up into space to blow an incoming asteroid to pieces isn’t the only possible solution for making sure the asteroid doesn’t collide with Earth.

Though depending on the amount of warning time NASA and other programs get, it may be the best option.

A medium-energy method of deflection could also be implemented. For this situation, warning time would be about five to 10 years for NASA and other involved programs to mount a mission.

A third option is using a giant reflector and

assistant on the primary NASA contract, and graduate student at ISU. Kaplinger added that the National Research Council’s report recommends those three methods of deflection in various scenerios.

Regardless of which energy method is used to deflect an asteroid from impacting Earth, NASA and the Asteroid Deflection Research Center at Iowa State are working together to develop space

technology to lessen the threat of impact from any asteroid and ensure the safety of all of civilization.

a laser beam to slowly disintegrate the asteroid, but he said that this method would take years to complete.

“That method belongs to so-called low energy [methods] because the forces are so small, it will take many years of operation to move the asteroid far away from its original flight path,” Wie said.

Courses of action depend on time available.

“When we have a long warning time, on the order of decades, the low energy is pretty much what most people want to do,” said Brian Kaplinger, the lead research

said Diane Birt, professor of food science and human nutrition.

The risk for developing breast cancer increases with the amount of alcohol consumed.

The American Cancer Society says that those who have two to five drinks daily have about one and a half times the risk of women who don’t drink alcohol.

The exact reason that alcohol causes breast cancer is still unknown.

“According to the JAMA article, although the exact mechanism for the association between alcohol consumption and breast cancer is not known, one explanation may involve alcohol’s effects on circulating estrogen levels,” said Mary Raman, program coordinator of Thielen Student Health Center.

Many studies have been conducted to narrow the cause down.

“Another recent study showed that a protein called CYP2E1, responsible for breaking down

2

ethanol – the chemical name for alcohol – creates unstable chemicals known as free radicals,” Raman said. “These free radicals may activate cellular mechanisms that lead to tumor development. Some women express more of the CYP2E1 proteins, and they may be at higher risk when consuming alcohol.”

Birt said modest alcohol intake is associated with a decrease in cardiovascular disease. With the contradicting facts about alcohol consumption, it is hard to distinguish which health suggestion one should follow.

“Breast cancer is one of the main cancers that modest alcohol consumption seems to have a negative affect on,” Birt said. “You also have the data that alcohol can be protective. So with

the confusion in the area, it’s probably not a good thing to send out a big public health message.”

Katelyn Cummins, senior in apparel, merchandising and design, said knowing that facts will affect her decision to go out.

“I have never heard of this research before, but it is interesting,” said Cummins. “I guess it would make me more aware and try to cut down even more. Since it’s something I can do to decrease my risk, I would want to do what I can.”

Birt advised students to be aware of basic family health history.

“Think about what your risks are. ... if you have a family risk of breast cancer ... you might not want to use moderate alcohol intake to prevent cardiovascular disease,” Birt said.

Iowa State Daily

Global

Editorial:

Politics now, tomorrow and forever The state legislature’s session is well under way, and if you have the chance to go observe the proceedings for a day, one aspect of the Capitol building that you will probably notice is the presence of at least one group hosting a breakfast or a lunch and lobbying legislators that day.

Iowa Staters have two such organized opportunities to lobby Iowa’s representatives and senators, Alliance for Iowa State’s ISU Day at the Capitol, which took place Monday, and the annual Regent’s Day, which is the main event of the ISU Ambassadors. Such events allow the university and its students to display the work they are doing and enables them to advocate for more funding.

Although such days have good uses and absolutely should be retained so that students have a time to experience the thrill of walking through the state capitol and politicking with the men and women who make the laws of Iowa, it is hard to believe that much real change comes from ISU Day at the Capitol or Regent’s Day. Those opportunities seem to be more like the cherry on top of the lobbying sundae rather than the more substantial ice cream of lobbying.

That is not to say that the various sponsored days at the capitol are empty shells of an event or are a waste of time.

As stated above, they are an invaluable experience to students from all majors who all should have some sense of what it takes to “do politics.”

For students who can only afford (either because they have to sit in class, study or work) to give one day to such pursuits, such days provide an opportunity to have a civic experience on the state level.

But there are many other daily ways for students to get involved, to voice their opinions.

Students can write letters to the editor. Of course, we at the Daily are happy to receive them, but the legislators who represent our homes, outside Ames, also deserve to hear our opinions. And since the Des Moines Register is the main source for news in Des Moines, it also provides a good forum for students to express their concerns.

It may seem as if we toot our own horn whenever we say to send us letters, but letters to the editor are very different from posts on Facebook or Twitter. In social media, the only people “following” a person or “friends” with him are people he wants to associate with, as well as the people who want to associate with him.

More often than not, then, social media becomes an inarticulate echo chamber of dittoheads and Yes Men. We can also write directly to legislators. If you send enough individualized e-mails, eventually the lawmaker or his or her clerk will catch on and notice.

And if those emails describe your own personal experience rather than the cliche talking points we have all heard before, that will mean something to them, too.

Those are just two possibilities.

The most important thing to remember is that in order to have success in lobbying , consistency, persistence and originality must be part of it.

As Samuel Adams once said, “It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds.”

Can U.S. cure climate?

In his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama asked the nation to consider the prospects for clean air. He hopes that with Congress’s support, the planet can avoid future climate change.

Obama makes ambitious goals for cleaner future

D

uring the first State of the Union address of his second term, President Barack Obama set some ambitious humanitarian goals, which included achieving an AIDS-free generation, establishing universal preschool and raising the minimum wage, to name a few. But of the issues he mentioned, none were more urgent than his plan for combating climate change — or at least, his notion to combat climate change.

Indeed, there was no plan spelled out for the American people as to how exactly our government will come together to save our warming Earth. But in reality, there didn’t need to be. Climate change has become the song on the radio people have heard too many times — the can kicked down the road far too long. Some Americans may believe global warming exists, but are numb to it; they certainly don’t comprehend its urgency.

If the president is going to act against climate change, he will be doing it alone — at least in the beginning. And he knows it.

In his speech, Obama advocated for bipartisanship surrounding the issue of climate change, but he seemed already resigned to the fact that collaboration might not

By Elaine.Godfrey @iowastatedaily.com work out so well. “…if Congress won’t act soon to protect future generations,” Obama said with a grim smile, “I will.”

Obama plans to take executive action to reduce pollution, prepare for the future consequences of climate change and ease the transition to sustainable energy for the long-term. Clean energy is at hand, but words mean nothing without action, unilateral or otherwise.

What can the president do right now?

There are several existing authorities the White House needs to expand on if they expect to make any progress, starting with the EPA. At the Copenhagen summit in 2009, Obama pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 17 percent below 2005 levels by the year 2020. The combination of recession, tightly enforced regulatory standards in some more ‘green’ states and, most importantly, strong EPA action, have all made this goal within our reach. But he can do more.

According to the EPA, more than two-thirds of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions came

from power plants. The solution?

The Clean Air Act of 1990. After establishing the carbon limit for our nation’s power plants, the EPA needs to actually begin enforcing this act in order to significantly reduce carbon emissions and use new technology to restructure our nation’s most antique power plants.

Additionally, the EPA already enforces regulations encouraging autoworkers to create a new line of vehicles able to reach 54.5 miles per gallon by 2020; a point touched on briefly by Obama in his speech. This will reduce the country’s carbon emissions from transportation, which happens to be America’s second-highest contributor of greenhouse gases.

In a recent interview with BuzzFeed, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio responded to a question about the effects of global warming, saying he was doubtful working to reduce our own greenhouse gas emissions would make a difference, as long as China and India, two of the largest contributors to global climate change, did nothing.

And although Rubio foolishly denies the confirmed existence of climate change, in humoring his interviewer, he presents a valid point: there will be no progress unless the largest contributors to the climate crisis — China, India, the European Union and the United States — work harder to advocate for the environment.

That brings us to the next

project the president could take on all by himself, and perhaps, the one that makes the most sense. He can start the talks with China.

Without Congress, Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, need to engage in diplomatic climate talks with China, with the sole purpose being to cement an agreement on reducing carbon pollution and switching to alternative energy. Once major polluters are on the same page, our planet will face a cleaner future, and its people will be much more informed and united to protect the earth from this man-made crisis.

All of these are approaches Obama will have to undertake if he truly means to keep his promise to protect our planet from the looming threat of climate change — no matter who’s with him. But what we should certainly expect from our president is further dialogue.

Obama will have to make special use of his “bully pulpit” by starting the climate change conversation with the American people right now. He must end the brokenrecord climate talk and begin anew, by explaining the reality and urgency of climate change, conceivably the greatest challenge our generation will ever face.

Whether he will is a different story.

Iowa State needs more than one voice

G

ov. Terry Branstad recently stated that Iowa State should speak with “one voice” and have “one mission” when it comes to agricultural research.

Branstad’s comment identifies a political agenda that has constrained diverse research and open dialogue on our campus. His comment not only mistakes the mission of Iowa State to serve the people of Iowa and its core value of intellectual freedom, it implies that diverse and, perhaps, even dissenting ideas regarding agricultural research are not welcome at Iowa State.

Bruce Rastetter’s recent attempt to “educate” Jerald Schnoor, University of Iowa professor, about the nature of his research and the Regents’ pressure to limit the scope of research at Iowa State’s Harkin Institute illustrate the need for greater protection of academic freedom and diversity at our Iowa universities in the face of political influence from our Regents.

We refuse to let such overstepping set the precedent that such actions are acceptable.

As we have witnessed through recent events, diverse voices are treated as threatening rather than strengthening academic dialogue at our public universities. In addition to Rastetter’s email and the pulling of Sen. Tom Harkin’s papers, we have seen this same pressure to speak with “one voice” in the examples of the 2009 Leopold Center director search in which “cows eat grass” became a controversial statement. Additionally, Iowa State discouraged questions on campus regarding Iowa State’s then-partnership in Regent Rastetters’ AgriSol project in 2012 and the university and Regents’ support of the “Beef is Beef” beef industry rally at Iowa State last spring. Branstad and others in power are successfully shaping “one voice” at Iowa State in regards to agricultural research — the voice of the corporate agricultural lobby.

Amy Alesch, Andrea Basche, Angela Carter, Nahed Msaylab, Eric Ports and Marie Louise Ryan In their argument against mandatory conservation regulations, the Iowa Farm Bureau publicly states that there is not a “one-sizefits-all solution” to water quality improvement because we have great diversity in soils and landscapes across Iowa. How can we expect Iowa State to produce the research needed for such a diverse landscape if we must speak with only one voice? The Farm Bureau’s statement highlights how the corporate agricultural lobby values diversity when politically convenient (as in fear of federal intervention or regulation), yet, as illustrated through recent events at the University of Iowa and Iowa State, uses their connections and influence to discourage diversity when it questions their agenda. Is this really about diversity? Or a political agenda that furthers private gain over public good?

As many of us who are students and faculty at Iowa State know, we do not speak with “one voice.”

Our agricultural research engages a diversity of perspectives and questions as research at a public university should. Wendy Wintersteen, dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Iowa State, recently spoke in praise of diversity in regards to the hiring of Theressa Cooper, new assistant dean of diversity in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Wintersteen described the hire as an example of how the college is “reaching out and increasing diversity because diversity brings strength, different ideas, different viewpoints, and different ideas brings in innovation.”

We applaud Wintersteen’s statement and look forward to a continued emphasis on the cultivation of diversity of both research and thought at Iowa State.

create a campus welcoming to the diversity of ideas, viewpoints and innovation highlighted in our dean’s statement.

This is an issue of academic freedom that is important to the present and future of our university, no matter what party you belong or don’t belong to politically. Why? Because the examples listed above jeopardize the credibility of our institution and the value of our degrees.

Iowa State’s research and reputation are strengthened by diverse and differing perspectives, world views and approaches. The idea of “one voice” weakens Iowa State’s potential in addressing very real concerns such as climate change, childhood hunger, declining rural communities or water impairment. ISU faculty, staff and students, we need your support as we stand up to this misguided pressure to speak with “one voice.” Citizens of Iowa, we need you to write to your senators in support of Senate Study Bill 1163, the Regents Accountability and Transparency Act. We need to prevent some of the real or perceived threats to academic freedom that have occurred during the last few years.

Perhaps when we begin to see agricultural research through this diversity of ideas, diversity of students and researchers, and diversity of systems, we might be able to celebrate the reputation of our public university again, as well as the social and biological diversity of our state.

ISU student makes national headlines An ISU student has made national headlines this week after obtaining a unique autograph from ESPN commentator Brent Musburger.

Matt Mummelthei, freshman in pre-business, approached Musburger at the men’s basketball game Monday night between Kansas and Iowa State and asked him to signed a large poster of supermodel Katherine Webb.

“I just walked down from the student section and asked ‘Can I have your autograph?,’” Mummelthei said. “He hadn’t seen the poster yet, and so I pulled it out and he just started chuckling.”

The joke with the Webb poster dates back to the BCS National Championship game, when Musburger said referred to Webb, who was in the stands, as “smokin’.” This incited a nationwide controversy with Musburger at its epicenter.

Mummelthei said Musburger never made any comment that was derogatory toward Webb when signing the poster.

“He was a complete sport about the whole thing,” Mummelthei said. “After he signed it, I got a picture with him.”

The picture, taken by Mummelthei’s girlfriend, has since gone viral across the nation and has made its way in national headlines.

If it weren’t for Westendorf and his friend Dan Clemens, the experience would have never happened. Mummelthei said at the time of purchase, he had no money and so Clemens acted as a “financial backer for the project.”

Junior works to regain lost ground

By Maddy.Arnold @iowastatedaily.com Injuries have plagued the ISU gymnastics team this season. In the midst of all the injuries, this year has seen the comeback for one of its best gymnasts.

Junior Milan Ivory is no stranger to injuries. This is the first year Ivory has been able to compete in every meet so far this season. She was injured most of her freshman season as well as all of last season “I personally think [Ivory] is the most talented gymnast on this team,” said junior Megan McDonald. “To see her out for the first two years of her college career was heartbreaking really.”

At the beginning of her freshman season, Ivory suffered an ankle injury. As a result, she could not make her collegiate debut until the Big 12 meet at the end of season.

“We started seeing this young athlete who had potential to be really, really good and could make a huge impact on our team and then bam, she was injured right away,” said

Hilton finds way to admit all Monday

Everyone else heard it pop but I was in the middle of a routine so I didn’t hear it or anything. It just felt like [someone] kicked me.”

By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com A sea of gold filled Hilton Coliseum on Monday night for Iowa State’s matchup with No. 6 Kansas and the crowd didn’t lack any students who attempted to gain admittance.

“No students were turned away,” said ISU athletic director Jamie Pollard in a phone conversation on Tuesday. “Every student that was in line that stayed in line got into the game.

“We would never know if anybody just left, but anybody who stayed in line got into the game.”

The student section at Hilton Coliseum has a capacity of 2,500 and the half-full mark of 1,250 was only surpassed twice last season.

Those games were against Iowa and Kansas, and the student capacity still only reached 52 percent and 51 percent.

So after an average 42 percent of students used tickets last season, the ISU athletic department sold 3,500 student tickets this season. That brought the risk of running out of seats for a big game such as Monday’s national TV appearance against Kansas.

“We thought KU would be a game that we were in the mode to

Adept play leads ISU to victory Lack of fouls enables ISU to control court

By Stephen.Koenigsfeld @iowastatedaily.com When the Jayhawks’ and Cyclones’ offensives took to the court on Wednesday, it was an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.

The last time these teams met was in Lawrence, Kans., at Phog Allen Fieldhouse, when the game was taken into overtime after Iowa State gave up a double-digit lead and lost the game.

Senior Anna Prins said she was having flashbacks to the Cyclones’ (20-6, 11-5 Big 12) matchup in Lawrence, in this game, where Iowa State led by as much as many as 16 points.

“Just because they did it to us last time, knowing they are capable of doing it, losing here at home the last game we didn’t want to lose another one,” Prins said.

Something Iowa State has struggled with throughout portions of

the season is foul trouble. Forward Chelsea Poppens and center Anna Prins were both able to play most of the first half, where the two only had one foul combined (Poppens).

“It makes a big difference,” Prins said. “First of all, it’s not as frustrating.

And being able to get into a rhythm and just being seniors. It’s really disappointing when the foul trouble comes because you want to be out on the court.”

With the ability to stay out of foul controversy for most of the game, the Cyclones did not have to call on their bench as much as they have in games past.

“We’ve gotten ourselves in trouble this year because of positioning or whatever has put us in trouble,” said ISU coach Bill Fennelly. “For the most part it was the way Iowa State has played defense most of the year and it’s allowed us to win games.”

With about nine minutes left to play in the game, Kansas (16-11, 7-9 Big 12) began to plague itself with its own foul trouble. Guard Carolyn

Davis picked up fouls three and four almost back-to-back after coming back into the game, which sent Iowa State to the charity stripe where the Cyclones made 17 of 20 attempts.

“We’re a lot better when she’s on the floor,” said Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson. “But that’s on her, she got them early. But I thought in the first

File photo: William Deaton/Iowa State Daily Ohio defense’s Mike Kretz tries to guide to puck around the ISU defensive players during the game Jan. 12 at Ames/ISU Ice Arena. Iowa State is heading to the ACHA tournament.

The ACHA National Tournament is this weekend in Bensenville, Ill., and the Central States Collegiate Hockey League is sending more teams to the tournament than any other league.

Five of the six CSCHL teams will be heading to Bensenville; Indiana is the only one who didn’t qualify.

All five qualifying CSCHL teams are ranked in the top 15 with Iowa State being the lowest-ranked at No. 12 and Ohio being ranked the highest at No. 4.

Here are some things to watch for from CSCHL teams at the ACHA National Tournament this weekend.

No. 12 Iowa State — After only playing in three games and starting only two of those up until Feb. 2, ISU goalie Matt Cooper got his chance in Oklahoma City against Oklahoma. The Cyclones

By Clint.Cole @iowastatedaily.com won that game 4-1, and he has helped the Cyclones win seven of their last eight games, including two shutouts in the CSCHL tournament against Robert Morris (Ill.) and Illinois.

ISU coach Al Murdoch hasn’t said officially whether or not Cooper will be the starting goalie at the National Tournament, but he did say he certainly has the edge.

Expect Matt Cooper, who is 8-1 this season and has a .958 save percentage, to start for the Cyclones against Robert Morris on Saturday.

ISU forward Jon Feavel’s 2012-13 season is looking a lot like his 2011-12 season.

He has 39 points this season compared to 40 last season, and he is the Cyclones sec-

ond leading scorer behind J.P. Kascsak, who has 41.

Feavel is fourth in the CSCHL in goals with seven in CSCHL play this season.

Feavel was held without a point in all three games at the CSCHL tournament, but he had three points (two goals, one assist) last weekend against the ISU Division III hockey team. Feavel has only missed one game this season.

No. 9 Lindenwood (Mo.) — This has been a weak season for the Lions in comparison to recent years as they are 13-12-4. They are going into the tournament as the No. 9 seed and will play No. 8 Davenport (Mich.) in the second round on Saturday.

Grant Gorczyca led the Lions in scoring this season with 30 points (11 goals, 19 assists). He has two gamewinning goals in his senior season and scored two goals in his last game against Ohio at the CSCHL tournament.

Gorczyca had five points (two goals, three assists) in

The student section did fill up Monday, but with around 100 students still waiting outside, officials made the decision to allow standing around the lower bowl, something that typically isn’t allowed at Hilton.

Pollard added that the athletic department wouldn’t know if a student left the line without attempting to enter. Had students been turned away, the protocol would have called for their student IDs to be scanned so they could receive a refund.

Overall this season, Pollard said the overselling of season tickets went better than expected.

“Last year we averaged about 42 percent of tickets distributed were actually used,” Pollard said. “This year — I haven’t seen the average after the KU game — prior to the KU game was about a 50-percent average.”

That 50 percent is of the 3,500 total, meaning the student average at games this season was around 1,700 students per game prior to Monday compared to just more than 1,000 last season. Pollard said the student section typically filled between 60 and

70 percent of its 2,500 seat capacity prior to Kansas.

“For the big games this year we had more students in attendance than any game last season, including the KU game or the Iowa game,” Pollard said, noting Monday’s totals weren’t available.

Pollard said the athletic department will learn from the surge that happened when the doors opened, but was pleased overall.

“We’ll learn from that for the future to not have that kind of issue from a safety standpoint,” Pollard said. “By and large [the game] confirmed for us that the process worked throughout the season better than anyone thought it would’ve. The student crowds throughout the year were phenomenal.”

“It really took the wind out of the sails — not only for the team but for her.”

Her sophomore year, Ivory was excited to finally get a chance to compete for Iowa State for an entire season. Her excitement for the upcoming season soon ended after she suffered another injury during practice.

“Back when it happened, it was rough because I was coming out of my freshman year the year before, and I didn’t compete until the end of the season,” Ivory said. “So I was all fired up and ready to go and then this happened. It kind of put me back and upset me a lot.”

Right after the injury occurred, Ivory did not think it was anything serious. She attempted to continue with practice until the team noticed there was something wrong.

“I tried to get up and shake it off,” Ivory said. “Everyone else heard it pop but I was in the middle of a routine so I didn’t hear it or anything. It just felt like [someone] kicked me.”

Ivory missed her entire sophomore season and received a medical redshirt. After almost a year of physical therapy, Ivory returned to competition this season.

Even though Ivory is healthy and back to competing, Ronayne said she is still not back to level she was at before the Achilles tear and still has more room for improvement.

ISU brings novel to life ‘Three Musketeers’ promises action, romance, adventure

By Liz Cleaveland Ames247 writer ISU Theatre is bringing Alexander Dumas’ classic novel to the stage in their production of “The Three Musketeers.” In this adaptation by Ken Ludwig, expect an action-packed night filled with gripping twists and romance cloaked in deceit.

But just how easy is it to bring the well-known book to the stage? Because the novel is known for its thrilling fight scenes, actors in this production need to be physically fit to properly perform the familiar scenes.

Kivan Kirk, junior in performing arts, landed the lead role of d’Artagnan and said he enjoys wielding a sword and building the stamina that accompanies a demanding fight scene.

“I’d never done any sword fighting before. It was rigorous but fun, and it’s an invaluable experience,” Kirk said.

As far as bringing d’Artagnan from the black and white to flesh and blood goes, Kirk said he draws on lessons from former acting classes and tries to

Music

“figure out what the characters’ objectives are.”

Because of the plethora of adaptations on this beloved novel in the form of movies and plays, Kirk feels that “there’s a lot to live up to.”

Rehearsals began a week after winter break and involved the recruitment of Ian Borden from the University of Lincoln, Nebraska, to choreograph the swordfight scenes. Director Jane Cox searched through 150 certified fight choreographers, and Borden traveled to Ames every Friday night to teach the students for nine hours during the weekend.

With the abundance of duels and battles in the book, Cox and Borden had their hands full in bringing the combat to the stage.

While the cast and director were battling it out, so to speak, costume designer Kelly Schaefer was creating her own work of art. “The Three Musketeers” is set in the 17th century at a time when fashion required a great deal of material. Having worked on Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night,” Schaefer had “a good frame of reference” for the design of the characters’ clothes.

Porthos, one of the musketeers, is known as a trendy prankster in the book and it was up to Schaefer to portray his character as such through “brighter colors that would distinguish him.”

Milady is another character that received special attention on her wardrobe. Schaefer used an irides-

“I get a chance to talk to the audience before the character gets to speak,” Schaefer said. “I think it’s my job to tell them who’s who by using design and psychological principles.”

With months of work put in both on and off stage, Cox said she hopes people will come to this new adaptation of “The Three Musketeers” and reward the group’s hard work.

“It covers all the major events [of the novel] and keeps all the values of it intact,” Kirk said. “It adds character.”

“The Three Musketeers” starts its run March 1 and continues March 2, 3, 8 and 9.

Ames music welcomes new band to local line-up Pop-punk band Wildman features familiar faces

By Cole Komma Ames247 writer With the semester in full swing, students and the people of Ames can add another band to the roster.

Wildman, a pop-punk band will feature some familiar faces to the Ames music scene. Brian “Wildman” Stout will sing in the new Ames band, and Mumford’s frontman Nate Logsdon will play bass. Stout explained how the band was conceived.

“We started writing songs in the van on tour,” Stout said. “And Nate really wanted me to start a band.”

Stout is no stranger to the music scene.

He plays trombone for both Mumford’s and Christopher the Conquered, too.

“We’d also starting jamming with some Ames High musicians, Jens Hoifeldt and Satchel Bruna,” Logsdon said. “Then we wrote a couple songs with those guys too and then we thought ‘whoa, what if we combined these projects and this band was Wildman.’”

Logsdon said he is very excited to learn a new instrument and start another project that will differ musically from his solo music and Mumford’s material. Logsdon also expressed the connection Stout has with people.

“I just always felt Wildman would be an amazing frontman. He’s such a wonderful person and people just love to be around him,” Logsdon said. Plus, he is a great performer, musician and singer.”

Wildman’s sound will differ from both Logsdon and Stout’s other projects.

“I’d describe it as pop punk with a little bit of ska perhaps” Stout said.

Wildman’s first show is March 19 at 9 p.m. at the Space with special guests Winethrash and Ladysoal. Admission is $5.

Indie band ‘Passion Pit’ makes tour stop in Ames Group’s songs have been played in ‘Ugly Betty,’ ‘Twilight’ series

By Dominic Spizzirri Ames247 writer

Passion Pit, the indie rock band from Cambridge, Mass., will be playing at Hilton Coliseum on Thursday as part of their tour. With two albums and a number of popular songs, fans will be experiencing a show to remember.

“Every tour that we go on we have a new production,” said bassist Jeff Apruzzese. “Everything is always down to the wire with us.”

Even though the band considers themselves a pop band, members of Passion Pit said their shows exhibits a different style of music.

“We always think of the band as down-to-earth pop songs, but we play in a rock ‘n’ roll live setting,” Apruzzese said.

Starting in 2007, the first Passion Pit songs were given as a gift to then-girlfriend of band member Michael Angelakos. Those songs would become the band’s first EP, “Chunk of Change,” on Frenchkiss and Columbia records, which spawned the recording of single “Sleepyhead” a year later.

The band first gained popularity at Emerson College, which Angelakos attended.

Passion Pit’s first full-length album “Manners” was released in 2009 to positive reviews and even had exposure on television with their song “Let Your Love Grow Tall,” which played on an episode of “Ugly Betty.”

“Manners” spawned four singles in total and got the band slots playing for the Glastonbury Festival 2009 in England, as well as touring with Muse as their opener through 2010.

After writing since late 2010, their second full length “Gossamer” was released in July 2012. The album spawned four more singles, as well as a spot on Saturday Night Live performing the songs “Take a Walk” and “Carried Away.”

“It was really special and amazing. The first time, as live as it gets. Even now it’s the only show that was live,” Apruzzese said.

Passion Pit also had a song featured on the “Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2” soundtrack with their song “Where I Come From.”

“We are getting a lot of new fans from that. From that song being released we are actually playing at Comicon to play that song,” Apruzzese said.

“You never know if people heard of the band and what records they know. We just need to be engaging to everything.”

Passion Pit is now going on tour for the spring and summer playing across America and internationally.

Tickets can still be bought for the Hilton Coliseum show from www.sub.iastate.edu.

campus?

Lauren Morgan, sophomore in child, adult and family services, is involved in two dance clubs on campus, Dub H and the Timberwolves group.

When did you start dancing? And did you take lessons?

I was never that kid at age 6 that was taken to dance lessons or grew up in a dance talented family. When I went to a middle school dance, I was dancing and I realized just how fun it was and that I was actually good at it! After that I just used YouTube a lot. I really liked watching YouTube videos, that was when it was just starting to get popular and big so there were a few demonstration videos I watched and music videos to just teach myself.

Lauren Morgan Interview:

For more of Lauren’s interview, including video and photos, visit ames247.com Page 6 Iowa State Daily July 21, 2011 Editor: Julia Ferrell ames247 iowastatedaily.com

Presented by Ames247.com

Has being involved of these dance clubs affected your college experience?

I have made a lot of friends since joining DubH, and I don’t think I would have made as many friends if I wouldn’t have. We are like a family and they just take you in and it feels like compared to other groups I’ve seen DubH has been more welcoming than any other.

Do you feel your future includes dancing after college?

What is your favorite style of dance?

Know a student who would make an interesting profile?

Let us know at ames247@ iowastatedaily.com

Yes! I am involved with the DubH hip-hop club and Timberwolves. Timberwolves is a part of DubH, but a smaller group of people who have a little more experience and get do something a little more challenging, we perform for the Minnesota Timberwolves game halftime during the spring semester.

It sounds really specific, but it is a really different style compared to the rest, if you think about it. My favorite dance genre would have to be lyrical hip-hop. Hip-hop is about dancing to the beat, but lyrical is all about movement and expression with the words.

Are you involved with any dance clubs on

This summer I went to L.A. for three months with my friend and trained with professional choreographers and made a lot of connections. I want to travel and teach dance after college. I want my art to be shown in the world, and if I do go to L.A. and want to dance, I have two agencies pursuing me right now.

I really need to finish the degree I am in right now, just in case I need a back-up plan. I thought about majoring in dance, but that involves a lot more ballet than I would want to take.

Music: ‘Good Light’

Game: ‘Nintendo Land’

Movie: ‘Dark Skies’

By Sam Abrahms

By Devin Pacini

By Nick Hamden

For Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, their fourth studio album, “Good Light,” represents their highly underrated understanding of emotion rather than their growth as a group over the past year.

Especially after a tough week, this album cleanses the soul and readies.

Needing little introduction, Holcomb’s voice is very full and heartwarmingly tender, but equal amounts of time are spent listening to his Tennessean accent click into action.

This year is definitely going to be Holcomb’s, as “Good Light” is destined to grab the attention it deserves. Support music that shines a positive light on our world and pick this album up today.

“Nintendo Land” is a theme-park-themed game for the WiiU. It puts you as one of your Miis playing in a “Nintendo Land” made out of fabric. Similar to how Wii Sports was made to introduce some concepts of the Wii, “Nintendo Land” seems to showcase some new features the WiiU has to offer.

It’s more than a showcasing tool, though. The game itself is fun and addicting to play. The games you play, all based off Nintendo games, are put together well and addictive.

The multiplayer is done extremely well, making it easy to play in a party game setting. The game automatically cycles who is on the gamepad so that it’s easy for everyone to get a turn.

If you saw the trailer for “Dark Skies,” you probably had a bad taste in your mouth. Everything about the movie seems ridiculous; it looks like a parody film that doesn’t know it is a parody.

“Dark Skies” has your standard cliches that you’ve seen a lot of lately: A family is hit hard by the economy, weird things start happening to their house, the supernatural force seems to contact them through their kids and everyone thinks they are crazy or abusive.

The movie is far too slow at the beginning.

However, the film ends up being better than advertised. This film would be better classified as a thriller, having very few “horror” elements, but the ending almost makes the journey worth it.
