Event:

Spelling bee to be hosted this weekend The Iowa finals for Scripps National Spelling Bee are coming to Iowa State for a second year.

Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication is hosting the event in the Pioneer Room of the Memorial Union at 9 a.m. on Saturday. It is free and open to the public.

“The Greenlee School has high standards when it comes to correct spelling and usage of the language,” said Michael Bugeja, professor and director of the Greenlee School. “We also are a Scripps partner school. We especially appreciate the work of Erin Wilgenbusch and the Public Relations Student Society of America in helping plan this event.”

The spelling bee is held for kids up to 8th grade. A total of 14 individual school champions will go head-to-head in order to move on to the national round.

The national finals will be held May 28-30.

The Scripps National Spelling Bee is non-profit. It is the longest-running academic promotional event in the United States.

“There are a number of reasons.

First is character development, participating in activities,” Wilgenbusch said. “Challenging yourself to do your very best at something. I think spelling bee in particular is important because it helps them develop an appreciation of the English language.”

The Greenlee School is glad to see the Scripps Spelling Bee come back for a second year.

“When we can bring people here in a really fun and exciting environment like the spelling bee, it’s just a win-win for everybody. So, I think Saturday is going to be a great day,” Wilgenbusch said.

Gaffer’s Guild offers glassblowing skills

By Daniel.Bush @iowastatedaily.com Blowing glass is a form of art that takes practice to perfect. The glassblowing studio on campus has been

used to perfect that art within the Gaffer’s Guild.

The Gaffer’s Guild is made up of ISU students and Ames residents who learn to create unique glass objects.

“Your imagination is your limit,” said Tanner Borglum, senior in computer engineering and member of the Gaffer’s Guild. “So, if you want to

make a salamander sitting on a rock, you can experiment, test and perfect that creation.”

Individuals make glass objects to keep for themselves and contribute to commissions that are sold at VEISHEA and Art Mart.

“The policy is ‘make one, save one,’” said Steve Martin, distinguished professor of materials sci-

Restrictions added to the Pell Grant in fall 2012 will have an effect on rural area colleges, specifically community colleges.

One restriction includes changes to the Estimated Family Contribution income levels. The maximum level was changed by Congress from $32,000 to $23,000.

ISU buys land from YMCA Students can find relaxation in lodge off ISU campus

By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com A new student retreat center is in the works for land recently purchased by Iowa State.

A request submitted at the Aug. 2-3 Board of Regents meeting to purchase 17.2 acres of land between the Applied Science Center and Veenker Memorial Golf Course has been acted on.

“The ultimate goal is to build a larger state-of-the-art student leadership retreat center on the property and use that for student groups to have leadership retreats there and [for them to] use it as they see fit,” said Vice President of Student Affairs Tom Hill.

Hill said this would allow student organizations without the resources to transport their group or rent places to plan retreats.

The land is a very wooded area with many trails and bridges, which is ideal for outdoor activities.

On the scenic plot sits a lodge known as the Lynn Fuhrer Lodge, which was built in the 1920s at the end of World War I as a memorial for a fallen pilot from Iowa State.

The lodge contains a small living room and kitchen, bathroom, basement and a typical 1920s stone fireplace that sits in a vast open space. Porches on the east and west sides provide observation locations to gaze upon the trails, wooden bridges and steps.

“You get there, and you don’t think you’re still in Ames,” Hill said. “You think you’re way away from the campus. That’s the feel you get.

That’s why it’s so attractive.

Tiny kilts...

212 Main Street

Photo: Ethan Crane/Iowa State Daily The Lynn Fuhrer Lodge resides on a piece of property that Iowa State purchased. The lodge was built at the end of World War I in memory of ISU students who died in the conflict.

You’re still within the city limits, but you get this remote feel that you traveled a long way.”

The land, already surrounded by ISU property, was acquired from the Des Moines YMCA for a price of $120,000.

They no longer had a use for it and had no reservations about selling it to Iowa State.

However, according to the Board of Regents agenda item, the YMCA prefers limited development to occur on it within the next few years and that it be kept as a natural area.

Warren Madden, the university’s vice president for business and finance, said, “When [the YMCA] sold it to us, we made a commitment to maintain the wooded natural area of it for 20 years. I believe they’re taking the money and investing it in some of their other Y facilities.”

Funds for the transaction were provided by Iowa State’s funds for land maintenance and repair. The university has money that comes associated with reimbursement for use

of the facilities and property.

Correlating with student affairs, Madden said that this was to be the funding source.

The lodge needs repairs due to lack of use and vandalism. The Division of Student Affairs will oversee the renovations and are expecting to take action within a few weeks.

Hill said that he hopes the repaired original facility will be available for use toward the end of spring semester.

Plans for the new facility are very premature. Funds will have to come from donors willing to take on the project, Hill said. So a time for when the new state-of-the-art center is created are up in the air. As for the project itself, Hill is looking forward to the possibilities.

“I’m really excited about it,” Hill said. “The students I’ve talked to about it are excited about it, too. I think it’s something that is sorely needed for students, and I think it’s going to make a difference. It’s going to really enhance leadership training for students.”

Fast facts ■■ ISU has purchased approximately 17 acres of land between the Veenker Golf Course and Applied Sciences Center.

■■ The land will be controlled by the Division of Student Affairs to be used as a student retreat center.

■■ On the property sits the Lynn Fuhrer Lodge, named after a fallen pilot from Iowa State. Fuhrer’s family paid for the original building in the 1920s.

■■ The original facility is in need of repair due to use but is anticipated to be open by the end of spring semester. The new facility will need to be funded by donors, so an opening time is uncertain.

■■ “I’m really excited about it,” Hill said. “The students I’ve talked to about it are excited about it, too. I think it’s something that is sorely needed for students, and I think it’s going to make a difference.”

“The university, bless their hearts, they provide us space. They pay our gas bill, they pay our heating bill, [and] they pay for all of our utilities,” Martin said.

Borglum said the amount of gas burned up in an hour for the glory hole, which is a furnace used to reheat glass in between steps, could heat a house for a winter.

“It’ll behave more like a liquid with temperature,” Marple said.

The temperature which the club keeps the glory hole at is roughly 900 degrees Celsius.

They also have “standing commission,” Martin said. This is where departments of the university order objects from the guild, and they are paid commission for the pieces.

Another way in which ISU students could be affected by this change is related to part-time students.

Chad Olson, program coordinator at the ISU financial aid office, said, “If they’re taking longer, they might run out of Pell Grant before they have completed their degree.”

The restrictions on the Pell Grant will affect colleges nationwide.

Even more importantly, these restrictions will have a huge impact on college students nationwide.

In regards to Iowa State, Olson concluded, “Any time you limit financial aid, it is going to hurt a population of students.”

Editorial:

ISU students overreact to snowstorms Friday may be the first day of March, that wonderful month in which we have Spring Break, but the weather will most likely present challenges to people driving or walking too fast.

Snow and ice may very well caress the landscape of Ames and Iowa State again.

December through February (and sometimes as far as April) roughly corresponds to winter, and during each winter in Iowa, the snow falls. This is nothing new.

In fact, it is a part of life. And yet, each time a winter storm of any size has been forecast this year, the good people at The Weather Channel have decided to name it, as if the dangers posed by snow and wind resemble those posed by hurricanes blasting torrents of rain at a seacoast.

Here at Iowa State, it seems like there is more (or, at least, louder) griping (probably thanks to social media) about not closing the university and giving everyone a snow day.

But here’s a news flash: it isn’t necessary for news media to spend large amounts of their time covering the weather when, first, we all know that it’s winter and might snow at any time, and, second, when a person can look outside his or her window and easily decide whether it’s safe to venture away from home. The ordinary facts of life are not news.

Iowa State does have guidelines in place regarding when to cancel classes or close the university. In advance of what we all assumed was going to be a significant winter storm, the university closed the night of Feb. 21. Then, earlier this week, in a storm that was clearly much worse than its immediate predecessor, the university remained open.

Some consistency, or a clear statement of the criteria for closing the university (so some of our peers can stop bellyaching), might be a good thing, especially for students who commute to campus.

However, the number of students potentially barred from coming to class because of hazardous weather is a small portion of the student body.

In the fall 2012 semester, 33.7 percent of students lived in universityowned housing.

Such residences are either on campus or very close to it, and there is no reason that, allowing for a little extra travel time, students should not be able to trudge through the snow.

Another 49 percent of the student body live in Ames, most of which is close to a CyRide route. Only 17.3 percent of students live outside Ames.

If a student who lives away from campus will have difficulty getting to class safely, most professors are forgiving.

They are real people too, with kids who might be let out of school early, or who might have to drive home in the treacherous weather themselves.

Believe it or not, usually it just takes an email to explain the situation.

Snow days are fun. But we’re adults now, and although college should be enjoyable, our purpose here is to pursue useful knowledge.

Our credo should be a variation on the theme of the U.S. Postal Service’s unofficial motto: “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these [men and women] from the swift completion of their appointed [studies].”

Bias from political scientists

R

eports have recently been leaking out of the White House on the nominees for the directors of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. President Obama intends to nominate long-time environmental regulator Gina McCarthy to head the EPA and nuclear physicist Ernest Moniz to the Department of Energy.

With Republican lawmakers believing the EPA has harmed the economy with its rulemaking, and the intense opposition to the president’s most recent nominee Chuck Hagel, one can only imagine the gauntlet these two nominees will face when they appear before the Senate for approval.

My first thought on the nomination of a nuclear physicist was “Good. We need more scientists in politics,” but, now that I think about it, that might not be a good idea after all.

The need to inject scientists into government entities, especially Congress, for objective evidence to be utilized to affect political change, is unfortunate. Politicians should understand this, but their track record when pursuing unbiased evidence doesn’t show it.

Though I personally believe the Republicans are severely misguided on the issues of climate change, evolution, etc., the politicization of science itself is potentially fatal for its objectivity. According to an extensive Pew Research Poll performed in 2009, only 6 percent of scientists openly declare themselves Republican while 55 percent declare themselves Democrats.

This shouldn’t matter though, right? Even if scientists out their political leanings, their research certainly won’t reflect their bias (at least, we should hope not). The scientific community and the scientific method will ensure this. The problem lies in the trust a hyperpolarized public has in the credibility of scientific research.

Mr. Moniz, with his tenure as head of the department of physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and as the under secretary of the Department of Energy, is more than qualified for the position. But I fear that the Republican Party will begin to connect scientists to the liberal ideology. When that happens, any hopes of drawing upon experimental evidence as a means by which we can come to formulate our policies are lost.

Bill Foster, a Democrat recently elected to the House Representatives from the 11th District of Illinois, is also a particle physicist who has an ambition to reshape the political landscape. He believes that we need more scientists in government to force a connection between quantitative pursuits and political considerations.

Rep. Foster also intends to lend his expertise to the future decision-making on the budgets of science-oriented programs (such as those of NASA and other entities), another reason why he believes we need more scientists in Congress. His advocacy may be crucial to preserving funding for research.

It will be interesting to see how Mr. Foster argues his points against an opponent that is

By Michael.Glawe @iowastatedaily.com becoming increasingly distant to the scientific community.

Foster joins the ranks of numerous scientists who have fought vehemently on the state and national level against legislation attempting to usurp scientific consensus by inserting pseudo-science into the classroom. It is certainly possible that the rise of scientists in the public sphere is warranted. Defending the integrity of our educational system is a civic duty.

I am deeply conflicted over the surge of the “political scientists.” On one end, we may have the chance to build up our human capital by investing in science-oriented disciplines. On the other end, an inherently unbiased entity becomes biased (in the eyes of the opposition).

In Latin, science (“scientia”) means “knowledge.” The term itself has come to encompass an organization of truth-seeking individuals. Even more, science is a process by which we seek to understand the world around

us. When constructing a hypothesis, a scientist doesn’t pull a claim out of the abyss and decide to test its validity. Instead, a hypothesis, the proposed explanation of some natural phenomenon, is based on our observations.

The ensuing experiments provide us with the information necessary to explain our environment.

Shouldn’t we all embrace this pursuit?

It is our duty, as beings with the capacity to “know,” to pursue the truth. As acting citizens, we should commit ourselves to what Socrates devoted his life to. Like Socrates, we can wake up every day, unsatiated, knowing that we can never know enough. That is the spirit of science.

If the channel through which we seek the truth becomes enveloped by ideology, then our desire to find scientific consensus will end in failure. We will no longer address our limitations with objectivity, but with subjectivity.

If the partisan bickering in Washington, D.C. were to adopt objective reasoning, we would certainly have no real need for the “political scientists” in Congress. Alas, only the future will tell us if science has managed to “tame savageness of man.”

ast year, Iowa State students attempted to engage university leaders in a discussion concerning the ethical implications of partnering with Regent Rastetter’s AgriSol corporation in an international agriculture development project in Tanzania.

Our concerns were published in an Iowa State Daily guest column dated April 20, 2012. In response to these concerns, university leaders organized a forum on Nov. 9, 2012 titled “Guiding Principles in International Agricultural Development: The Sustainable Rural Livelihoods Model.”

At this forum, university faculty, students, and community members discussed the ethics and implications of international agricultural development. Our concerns were addressed by Dean Acker, who communicated that the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences was beginning to develop such guidelines. These guidelines would be based on the Center for Sustainable Rural Livelihoods model and would incorporate lessons learned from other universities and organizations. These guidelines are intended to give a framework for future university projects.

On December 5th, at a forum General information: The Iowa State Daily is an independent student newspaper established in 1890 and written, edited, and sold by students

with students on the ISU campus, President Leath addressed a question specifically asking about the progress of these guidelines by saying he would follow-up with Dean Wendy Wintersteen but agreed that they were needed because AgriSol was “a black-eye” for the university. As the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences plans future work in international agricultural development, what lessons have been learned through the experiences of the past year?

At a campus seminar on Feb. 13, Dr. Mark Westgate, the Director of the Center for Sustainable Rural Livelihoods, shared that the center plans to build upon current ISU research and existing funding to expand their program in Asia and South America. Given the recent events at Iowa State and the discussion at last fall’s forum, we were disappointed to hear he does not think guidelines need to be created or shared.

Indeed, he directly said to a crowd of 60 students, faculty, and staff that perhaps last fall’s forum was intended to, in his words, “placate” our concerns. Westgate argued that the same guidelines governing our work as students and faculty in Iowa or in other parts of the United States are sufficient for international agricul-

tural development, noting that guidelines may not be followed even when they are in place.

We understand that guidelines do not equate perfect conduct, nor are they the only way to codify an agreed-upon framework for action. However, guidelines do illustrate that we have thought collectively as an academic community about the connection of our mission as a university and how this ties into our international work, particularly when it comes to evaluating ethical issues based on conflicts of interest.

These conflicts of interest can occur any time a public institute partners with a private entity.

Westgate’s argument and defensiveness concern us. We know that international development work comes with a great deal more responsibility than work within our state or within the U.S., especially given the asymmetries of power, colonial history, and western institutional culture inherent in such work.

Navigating these asymmetries in respectful and culturally-appropriate ways, through a participatory approach, will be improved by the process of reflection and dialogue involved in creating guiding principles and ethics. Given the reputation and scope of Iowa State’s research, it further makes $62, annually, for the general public.

sense that these guidelines should be written, shared and evolve as we continue to build our experience and learn from past lessons.

Acker has updated us that he continues to make progress on these guidelines, and that a draft will be shared in late spring with the hopes of its finalization by the start of fall semester 2014. Let’s learn from our past missteps and continue to discuss and share questions regarding ethics and principles, as researchers, staff, faculty and students to increase dialogue and transparency in our work on campus and beyond.

Cyclones regroup for NCAA Qualifier File photo: Iowa State Daily Dani Stack (left) and Meaghan Nelson participate in the women’s 5,000-meter during the ISU Classic held at Lied Recreation Athletic Center on Feb. 11, 2012. Stack finished fourth with a time of 15:57.20 and Nelson finished third with a time of 15:51.89. The team is preparing for the NCAA Qualifier meet.

By Isaac.Copley @iowastatedaily.com The ISU track and field team will be home again this weekend.

One week after hosting the Big 12 Championships, Iowa State will host an NCAA Qualifier meet this weekend. The events start Saturday at 10 a.m. at Lied Recreation Athletic Center.

The Cyclones will see competition from in-state rivals Iowa, Drake and

Northern Iowa. Other teams competing Saturday are Arizona, Auburn, Boise State, Houston, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Purdue, Tennessee and UCLA. The Cyclones are sending athletes to multiple meets this weekend.

A group of distance runners including Dani Stack and Meaghan Nelson will be traveling to Notre Dame in hopes of putting forth a laststitch effort to qualify for nationals.

Ejiro Okoro will join them at Notre

Dame, running in the 800-meter event. Iowa State also hopes to qualify a team in the 4x400.

“With the 4x400 relay, Meaghan Nelson in the 5,000-meter, and Ejiro [Okoro] in the 800-meter run, it’s a chance for us to move up the standings on the list to get to nationals,” said ISU coach Corey Ihmels. “As we go outdoors, you want to have a good seed time going into future meets.”

The meet is important for NCAA implications and the outdoor season.

Betsy Saina will not compete at the NCAA Qualifier. The defending indoor national champion in the 5,000-meter run and third-place finisher in the 3,000-meter run, Saina has already qualified for both events.

“For me and the other qualified athletes, we’ve just been taking it easy — it’s kind of a recovery week,” Saina said. “I’m trying to run easy so I can get my legs back under me for nationals coming up in a couple weeks.”

Men’s basketball

NCAA bid allocations announced The Big 12 took a hit this season, losing 12 automatic qualifying bids to the NCAA Championships from last season to this season, according to the NCAA’s release of bid allocations.

Last season, the Big 12 Conference received 31 automatic bids to the NCAA tournament with only four Cyclones securing bids last season. Luke Goettl, who placed fourth at 149 pounds at the Big 12 Championships, received an at-large bid shortly after the conference tournament.

Every weight class — except for 125 pounds (one bid), 165 (three) and heavyweight (one) — has received two automatic bids, meaning a wrestler would have to win his first-round match in order to secure a bid. This also means there will be no automatic bids for all four wrestlers at a weight class like there were for 125 and 165 last season.

Seedings for the Big 12 Championships have yet to be announced.

Cyclones have second chance at Nationals

The No. 12 ISU hockey team leaves for Bensenville, Ill. on Friday for the ACHA Division I National Championships. The Cyclones (2416-3) have a first-round bye again this

The Cyclones beat the Eagles (287-1) 2-0 at the CSCHL tournament on Feb. 15. The Eagles swept No. 1 Adrian (Mich.) last weekend, winning both games 4-2.

Cyclones attempt to redeem record after tough losses

By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com Bouncing back from difficult losses has become somewhat of a routine for the Cyclones in the past two months.

On Monday, Iowa State added a fourth heartbreaker to a list that continues to grow, when it lost to No. 6 Kansas in overtime despite leading late. That game joined overtime losses to Kansas and Texas from earlier this season as well as a loss in the final seconds to Oklahoma State.

Following Big 12 losses, the Cyclones (19-9, 9-6 Big 12) are 4-1 this season, and come Saturday they will face the test again when they hit the road to face Oklahoma.

“You take what happened, you

learn from it and you go out and win the next game,” said ISU forward Melvin Ejim about the key to bouncing back.

“A lot of teams lose track of games ahead of them by looking behind them. We just have to focus on what’s in front of us and go out and stick to the game plan.”

That game plan will have a focus on defense.

While a missed charge call — which the conference has admitted was missed — hurt Iowa State on Monday, the team feels there were things it could have done to avoid letting the officials alter the outcome.

Iowa State takes winning streak to TCU

By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State understands what is at stake in the final two games of the regular season.

A second-place finish is still up for the Cyclones (20-6, 11-5 Big 12) as they travel to TCU on Saturday to take on the struggling Horned Frogs (8-19, 1-15). ISU coach Bill Fennelly said his team will need to focus on one important aspect.

“I think the biggest thing is creating a level of energy and enthusiasm with your team,” Fennelly said. “It’s a venue that their crowds haven’t been very big at and I think it’s going to be a different environment than our kids are used to.”

Forward Hallie Christofferson sided with Fennelly, believing her team will have to create their own energy in an arena that had 2,165 fans at its last game.

Another adjustment for the Cyclones will be preparing for a TCU team that plays predominantly zone defense.

“There’s a couple different plays,” Christofferson said of her role against a zone defense.

“Sometimes it’s run baseline and sometimes it’s stay out on the perimeter and shoot 3s like Brynn [Williamson] and I are capable of.”

Williamson said the key to playing against a zone defense will be to look inside to the post players, who will then attempt to kick to outside shooters.

“Hallie will probably get a lot of good looks,” Williamson said. “[TCU doesn’t] have a lot of size to them and our post players can either get layups or if they do get the pressure, just kick it out. It should be a really good assist night for them.”

In traveling to Texas for the fourth time this season, Iowa State is still in search of playing a “complete game.” This means they need to score well, take care of the ball, defend and stay out of foul trouble.

“That very rarely happens,” Fennelly said. “The thing I

think most coaches would look to is, if it’s not going to be 40 [minutes], then the minutes that it’s not cannot be the minutes that is going to cost you in losing the game. Maybe you don’t play great for four or five minutes, but you don’t hurt yourself.”

The Horned Frogs, in their inaugural season in the Big 12, have mustered one conference win, a 64-63 victory against Oklahoma State. Williamson said the key to playing a team like TCU is to make sure the team is well-rested.

“I think it’s just going there and when we come back, it’s going to be a completely different mindset for a game,” Williamson said. “It’s just one of those things; you go game to game in this league. Your defense changes and your offensive plan changes.”

Tipoff between Iowa State and TCU will be at 4 p.m.

Grand Opening Sunday March 3, 8am North Grand Mall

Reid played on that line at the CSCHL tournament and Percy played on it last weekend against the ISU Division III hockey team.

ISU coach Al Murdoch said that most likely only one of them would be in the lineup for each game.

“They both bring different positives to that line,” Murdoch said. “Reid, probably a little more physical.

Percy has good puck-handling ability and can get the puck to Cucullu and Feavel so they can get the goals.”

Last Friday and Saturday, Percy had five points (one goal, four assists) in two games against the ISU Division III hockey team.

ISU captain Brandon Clark is still nursing a groin injury, which has decreased his playing time recently.

Murdoch said their approach lately has been to play him one game out of two because trying two out of three is too much right now.

Clark said he talked to Murdoch and he wants to play in every game at the tournament.

“It’s my last year and last chance to win a championship and I want to help the team as much as I can,” Clark said.

Murdoch said he is leaning toward leaving Clark out of Saturday’s game and saving him for a game on Sunday if they beat Robert Morris.

The Cyclones play the last game of the day on Saturday against the host team Robert Morris at 8:30 p.m. at the Edge Ice Arena in Bensenville, Ill.

of the things that led to that last possession and that led to the game being decided by officiating,” Ejim said. “We should have put ourselves in a better situation.”

The Cyclones led 90-88 when Kansas’ Elijah Johnson knocked ISU forward Georges Niang to the ground. No charge was called, and eventually Niang was called for a reaching foul that sent Johnson to the line to tie the game.

Kansas would send the game to overtime with the two free throws to eventually win.

“I think we just do a great job of responding; we do a great job of letting that game go,” said ISU guard Chris Babb of the team’s resiliency. “Coach is always preaching to us next play — even in the games you make a bad play or you miss a shot, get on to the next play.”

When the Cyclones meet the Sooners (18-9, 9-6) on Saturday, they’ll be meeting a team they beat 83-64 in early February. Iowa State will also be facing a team that recently fell in heartbreaking fashion.

Oklahoma led by 22 points against Texas on Wednesday before the Longhorns hit a last-second shot to send the game to overtime, where they won.

“I’m sure they’re going to feel a little bit like us,” Ejim said of the Sooners.

The only time Iowa State has lost back-to-back games in conference play this season was when it lost to Texas on the road following a loss to Kansas State. The Cyclones will face that road test again Saturday.

“They say to win on the road you have to be at least 10 points better than your opponent,” Babb said.

Following another lastsecond loss, the Cyclones will again be facing a challenge they’ve become accustomed to.

“They continue to bounce back with great effort,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg of his team. “That’s the thing that I love about these guys is how they’re able to put disappointing game behind them and bounce back.”
