BEL N PRIZE WINNER RETURNS ISU Distinguished Professor Danny Shechtman leaves legacy as scientist, builds legacy in education

By Elizabeth.Polsdofer @iowastatedaily.com Although colleagues and friends have insisted that winning the Nobel Prize hasn’t changed his personality or inflated his ego, one laureate said his life has changed dramatically since he won the Nobel Prize in chemistry on Oct. 5, 2011. “The Nobel Prize is a phase transformation in one’s life and it happens in one second,” said Danny Shechtman, U.S. Department of Energy Ames Laboratory scientist and ISU distinguished professor of materials science and engineering.

Iowa State students cope with depression

ISU updates trademark guidelines

More than just a bad day By Lissandra.Villa @iowastatedaily.com It was such a bad day that Vincent Hartogh, a student normally engaged in his classes, couldn’t even make himself get out of bed. “I knew it was more than sad. It was really bad,” Hartogh said. “I knew that what I was feeling wasn’t natural.” Hartogh, a sophomore in management information systems, experienced a common mental illness, depression, just last fall. After spending his freshman year living in the residence halls, Hartogh moved off-campus, where he says he became disconnected from the Iowa State community. He said he felt guilty for feeling so sad because there was no apparent reason for him to be that way. “If you’re feeling that way, you’re feeling that way, whether or not you feel like you have a valid reason to be feeling that way,” Hartogh said. Eventually, Hartogh’s depression got bad enough that he called his parents. “Having to tell somebody, you know, you’re kind of messed up, is kind of scary,” Hartogh said.

that deep into what I was feeling, and just the idea of complaining to a stranger, I didn’t think it would really do anything for me,” Hartogh said. Eventually, however, Hartogh made his way to Student Counseling Services. “It was probably one of the scariest decisions I’ve ever made, which it doesn’t seem like it would be that scary, but it was really hard,” Hartogh said. “But I’m glad I did it.” Student Counseling Services offers a variety of services, and is not limited to one-on-one counseling. Among its services are biofeedback, tests that allow students to get feedback on what’s happening

A revision has been made to the guidelines for university trademark use by student and campus organizations that changed general principles on how certain organizations can use ISU names, symbols, logos and other identifying marks. The revision in January 2013 helped align the guidelines with the Student Organization Recognition policy, said Leesha Zimmerman, trademark officer at Iowa State. “Trademark guidelines follow the tiering system set by SAC [Student Activities Center], which has three tiers of organizations: sponsored, affiliated and registered,” Zimmerman said. The guidelines focus on the three tiers and describe how certain organizations can use the marks (names, symbols, logos, etc.). Sponsored and affiliated organizations are directly connected to the university through a department or the university itself. Registered organizations don’t have that same connection. “Since the sponsored and affili-
