Mackenzie Petermeier’s first thought was to find her family.

Petermeier, senior in graphic design, had already finished the 12.6 miles of the Boston Marathon she signed up to run, and was on a transit headed toward the finish line to cheer on her aunt Joni Voss and cousin Jamison Voss, who were running the full marathon.

It was at this time, around 2:50 p.m., that two explosions occurred just seconds apart near the finish line of the race.

“We were on a transit and we got evacuated. People were saying

there were bombs,” Petermeier said. “We just got out of there as soon as possible.”

Jamison, a senior in computer engineering, and his mother Joni were a mere half mile from the finish line when the blasts went off and were stopped from completing the race.

They soon found Petermeier and returned to the hotel.

Twelve students who were running the Boston Marathon as part of the Iowa State Running Club confirmed Monday afternoon they were uninjured as well.

“People are OK for the most part, still shaken though,” said Joey Sevcik, junior in kinesiology and health, several hours after the event, on Monday night.

Iowa State undergraduate students will showcase their research Tuesday at the seventh annual Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression.

Presentations on research ranging from architecture to zebra fish will be displayed.

One-hundred and sixteen students will be giving 98 research presentations at the Memorial Union from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Each presentation will have a 15-minute slot to showcase the research they have completed.

Dana Schumacher, the symposium coordinator, stated that the symposium was started seven years ago to strengthen the role of undergraduate research at the university and to enhance the student learning experience.

“Research at a land grant university is key. The purpose of the land grant is to create and apply research,” Schumacher said.

Each of the ISU colleges are represented at the symposium. The event is broken up into 27 different categories, each presenting a different topic with four research groups showcased.

One topic, “How and Where We Live,” has students with majors in anthropology, animal ecology, history and interior design presenting. This presentation pertains to subjects on assisted living facilities to breakage and discard of ceramic vessels in a late prehistoric village.

“We are showing off a lot of cool research that is being done here by our students,” Schumacher said. “This symposium allows a lot of students from different majors to work together.”

Each session is being moderated by a professor who

ISU coach Bill Fennelly may have known the fates of Chelsea Poppens and Anna Prins before either of them knew for themselves, but he was determined to keep it a secret for the time being.

Ryan Schafbuch, third year veterinary medicine student and member of the Iowa State Running Club, was in the area when the explosions took place.

“We heard a loud explosion, but we didn’t see it,” Schafbuch said.

Schafbuch was there with another member of the club and the two were on the way back to the Boston Hotel Buckminster after finishing the race. Schafbuch said he and another student heard the second explosion a few moments later, then saw large clouds of smoke.

Sevcik explained the majority of the club was walking to the hotel or on the subway when the event occurred.

“We probably missed it by around 10

minutes,” Sevcik said. “It happened before we were back at our hotel. Our hotel is about .8 miles away from the blasts.”

There were 27,000 runners signed up for the Boston Marathon on Monday, with more than 150 coming from Iowa. The explosions took place about two hours after the first runners finished the marathon.

The death toll rose to three by Monday night, with more than 100 injuries. One of the deaths was confirmed to be an 8-yearold boy.

Petermeier and her family and the members of the Iowa State Running Club all spent Monday night in their hotel rooms watching the news.

“We’re at the hotel, we’re trying to message everyone back that we’re OK,” Petermeier said. “We were all bawling. ...

We were all just so glad to be OK.” Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis stated that a third explosive device was found after the initial explosions and

Jessica Fellowes is the best selling author of The Downton Chronicles, both based on the hit PBS series.

Jessica is the niece of Lord Julian Fellowes, who created and wrote the series. While she focuses on the characters, sets and plot lines, she also discusses the sociohistorical context of the show particularly as it relates to the changing role of women, the rise of technology, and the crumbling of class hierarchy in Britain following World War I. Jessica Fellowes has extensively researched the life and people, women in particular, of the post-Edwardian period and draws surprising parallels between the world of Downton and the world of today.

and 12th ISU players selected in the WNBA draft in program history.

“It’s fantastic,” Fennelly said of having two ISU players selected in the draft. “I think what it says is the effort those kids have put in to be drafted as a professional player. Neither one of them probably thought that way.

“We have a lot of kids that have been drafted here, and most of them are the kind of kids that did it their way, worked really hard at it. It’s a great thing for them, and it’s a great opportunity.”

Poppens became the second-highest draft pick ever from Iowa State on Monday night.

President Barack Obama said in a statement Monday night after the event that “any responsible individuals, any responsible groups, will feel the full weight of justice.”

Federal authorities have classified the bombings as a terrorist act, but it is not yet known if they are of domestic or foreign origin.

“It is just an example of something you never expect to happen when you are around. I’ll always be a little bit more cautious when in big crowds probably, especially at marathons,” Sevcik said.

“It’s tragic because marathons never have an insecure feeling to them; they are happy community-building activities.”

Petermeier’s family also hopes to return to the state by air, but are not sure if there will be flights after Monday’s events.

ally know how I would react when my name showed up, but I was just excited.”

Prins, meanwhile, enjoyed her most prolific year for the Cyclones, averaging a careerbest 12.3 points per game.

Battling injuries throughout her time at Iowa State, Prins didn’t miss a game in 2012-13 and scored in double figures 20 times.

“Pop and I were talking quite a lot in [the team video room],” Prins said. “We were saying just getting drafted to any of these teams is really an honor and exciting, but it makes it definitely more exciting to know. I’m definitely going to be researching a lot more now that I know where I got drafted to.”

Fennelly said that although

he had some ideas before draft night in talking with teams at the Final Four in New Orleans and otherwise, he felt confident that Seattle and Connecticut would be a strong possibility as to where Poppens and Prins would end up.

That’s not to say he wasn’t still a little nervous Monday night.

“As it keeps going and you don’t see their names come up, it’s like when you watch the selection show. You think it’s going to happen, but until somebody says it and sees it, then you don’t know for sure,” Fennelly said. “Weird things happen, but we knew they were in good shape, and it kind of went the way we thought it would.”

Iowa State club benefits animals, students

cation events about breed-specific legislation, puppy mills and why you should spay and neuter your pets,” Myers said.

The club aims to educate people on the many myths and issues that are associated with shelter animals.

“My favorite part of the club is the education events,” Birkeland said. “You can only raise so much money and volunteer so many hours at the shelters, but the education is priceless.”

Club involvement is not only beneficial to those it aims to help, but it also benefits the member.

“The club has helped me a lot,” Myers said. “It definitely helped me gain leadership experience, and it’s an incredible help for your interpersonal skills.”

Birkeland, who was recently accepted to the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine, stated that her club involvement helped her as well.

“During my vet school interview, so many of my answers came from my leadership experience in the club,” Birkeland said.

Some upcoming events to look for from the Students Helping Rescue Animals club include meal bundle sales. On April 23, all proceeds from meal bundles purchased at the Memorial Union food court go to the club, which is donated to local animal shelters.

The club will also be hosting an event during Veishea, the Have a Heart Adoption Event.

“We bring in three to four adoptable dogs to our booth on Central Campus from local shelters in hopes of getting

them adopted out,” Birkeland explained.

During last year’s Veishea adoption event, two dogs found permanent homes.

“We walk the dogs in the parade to kind of show them off, and it gives the shelters a place to have more people coming through and looking at the dogs and hopefully getting

The Students Helping Rescue Animals club welcomes anyone with a passion

for helping animals. “We are open to all majors,” Myers said.

“And you don’t have to have any prior experience.”

Iowa State has over 700 clubs and organizations that students can be involved in.

Students Helping Rescue Animals is one of those clubs.

The Students Helping Rescue Animals club was founded in 2010 with the mission to help rescue lost or abused animals through volunteer work, fundraising and education.

Andrea Birkeland, senior in animal science, is a member and former president of the club. She discovered the club at the spring clubfest.

“I went to the next club meeting, and I immediately loved it,” Birkeland said. “Ali Bender, who was the club president at the time, captivated my interest at that first meeting, and I immediately started volunteering, helping with the bake sales and joined one of the committees right after.”

One of the requirements to maintain membership in the club is to devote two hours a month volunteering at local animal shelters, helping with bake sales and other club activities.

Members of the Students Helping Rescue Animals club carpool several times a week to volunteer at local shelters, such as the Boone Area Humane Society and the Story County Animal Shelter.

Jackie Myers, senior in animal science, pre-vet and current president of Students

Helping Rescue Animals, also fell in love after finding out about the club.

“The aspect of helping animals who don’t always get as much help as they should and doing that through volunteering was very appealing to me, “ Myers said.

Besides volunteering at animal shelters, members also help animals in need by fundraising.

“In the fall, we have our 5K event called ‘Walk for Wet Noses.’ People can register and then come and walk or run and can even bring their dogs with them,” Myers said.

She also said that every other week, the club hosts a pizza sale, and once a month, they have a bake sale.

Something unique about the club is that they do not keep any of the money raised for the club itself. All money is directly donated to the local animal shelters.

“We also have a special fund called the Vitae fund. That is only for animals who need special care like heartworm treatment or surgeries that they wouldn’t otherwise receive because the shelters may have funding issues,” Myers said.

The Vitae fund is for any shelter in need, and any shelter may apply to receive money from the fund.

“The shelters apply to our Vitae fund, and we go through an approval process. Then we donate the money to that animal in need, which would otherwise be euthanized,” Birkeland explained.

Another way the club aims to help shelter animals is through educational events.

“Usually every two weeks or once a month, we have edu-

>>SYMPOSIUM.p1 teaches in the field related to the topic they are moderating.

Each student presenting research has worked with an ISU faculty member in a mentor-mentee fashion throughout their research.

Kelly Wagner, senior in dietetics, approached Ruth MacDonald, professor and chairwoman of the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, two years ago about doing research on cancer and nutrition.

From this spawned a cookbook that Wagner wrote for children going through cancer and post-cancer treatment. The book, divided up into six sections, offers different recipes to help prevent and fight common ailments children may have during treatment. Wagner also lists in her book what foods to avoid during treatment.

“I am excited to show the development of my work at the symposium,” Wagner said. “I want to show that there are nutritional ways to help heal a person. This type of treatment should not be overlooked.”

Wagner, who attended the event for the first time her freshman year, also stated that the symposium is a good experience for students to present their own original work and to practice presenting in a low-stress environment.

Schumacher sees the event as being about the role of research in the university and in student’s lives.

“To see the incredible breadth of activity and work of research being done by undergraduates is phenomenal,” Schumacher said.

Society

Editorial:

Use Veishea to learn about Iowa State As visions of Veishea dance in all Cyclones’ heads and as we observe the after-last-call antics of bar hoppingstudents throughout the week, lots of students conflicted about engaging in underage drinking, or otherwise irresponsible behavior, may feel a choice looming ahead.

The unofficial Veishea seems to sometimes be at odds with the more official Veishea that seeks to commemorate collegiate traditions from decades past.

Although many students may hear of ISU history and lore on their campus visits, at orientation, at Destination Iowa State and from the lovely, glossy prospectuses the university sends out to recruit high school students, that knowledge probably does not bear heavily on many students’ minds.

Students don’t have much time to sit on Central Campus and contemplate the history of Iowa State.

Enter Veishea.

As most of you probably know, “Veishea” is actually an acronym that originally identified all the colleges at Iowa State: Veterinary Medicine, Engineering, Industrial Science, Home Economics and Agriculture.

Students have a choice this week between learning about the institution at which they will spend four or more years of their lives as impressionable young adults or indulging in toxic excess that damages their ability to do well in that same institution. Rarely does the university devote an entire week to commemorating the things that make it special. There is very little unique about helping perpetuate stereotypes about college kids shotgunning a few beers before their twentyfirst birthday and receiving the golden ticket of a police citation as a certificate of achievement.

A genuine achievement this week would be learning the nature of Iowa State first-hand, rather than being told its history through self-promoting pamphlets that reduce complicated thoughts to truisms and buzzwords.

Students who know that history — who have discovered it for themselves — will be able to ascertain the real value of their degrees and will be in a position to provide meaningful feedback to the university regarding the fulfillment of its role.

Iowa State is a land-grant college, which stems from the Morrill Act of 1862. That act of Congress is available online, and is only a few pages long. The speeches that Justin Morrill made in the House of Representatives defending his bill are available online through the library, and are also enlightening. Additionally, inquiring minds can find other speeches on education he made throughout his more than 30 years in Congress.

Contrasting the inaugural addresses of Iowa State’s first president, Adonijah Welch, with its most recent president, Steven Leath, is not difficult either, as the former is available online through the library’s website and the latter is available on the university’s website dedicated to presidential installations.

The premise of higher education today is that colleges are delivering a service in exchange for tuition. Without an understanding of the kind of service that tuition is supposed to be buying, students cannot be good consumers.

Veishea is as good a time as any.

Embrace differing hobbies

Courtesy photo Many people have different groups of friends to satisfy varying interests. Often, friend groups can be so different that they don’t get along.

Accepting others’ interests without judgment is key

H

aving similar interests with others is what draws people together.

The flicker of excitement felt when two people share a favorite band, movie or sport is what creates that initial inclination towards friendship. By surrounding yourself with people who have the same hobbies and interests, you are sure to have a wealth of conversation topics.

One person can’t possibly enjoy all the same things you do, which is why we pick and choose a variety of people to hang out with. The wider your interests are, the harder it can be to find people who want to do all those things with you. Some people may find themselves shuffling through their contacts list on a nightly basis, attempting to determine who the most compatible friend is for whatever they have in mind.

Luckily, no two people are exactly the same. The difficulty that accompanies this fact is that you can’t go to the same person for

By Hailey.Gross @iowastatedaily.com everything. You’d think this supposed variety in interests that every person has would make us, as a society, extremely accepting and understanding. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

When we divide ourselves into categories by shared interests, we not only find people with similar character and hobbies, but sometimes inadvertently distance ourselves from others. In selecting the group of people to spend time with, many of us choose to pass judgment on others who do not fall into the same categorical set.

I don’t mind that the group of friends that I go out with on the weekends is a different set of friends than the one I watch movies and shows, play video games and generally hang out with on weekdays. What I do mind is, when members of these two groups decide to pass judgment on each other.

A few of the women who “dress to impress” on the weekends, women for whom social life is the biggest aspect of college, women who have livened up many of my Saturday nights, can also be a little

nasty. I cringe every time one of these women crosses paths with a typical “nerd” and communicates disdain with a sideways glance or grimace. Women who find value in the thickness of a guy’s biceps or the percentage of hours he spends wasted do everyone a disservice.

Conversely, I can find it difficult to keep my opinions to myself when I’m spending time with my “shut-in” friends. Most of the time, I enjoy their company when we huddle under blankets during the latest gore flick or throw elbows during a Super Smash Bros match. But occasionally, one of the guys will convey disgust at some female’s liberal application of makeup, or noticeably-tanned skin. They slander the type of people who choose to spend their weekends (drunkenly) partying or meeting people.

Why do so many of us, including myself on occasion, feel the need to pass judgment? Perhaps it’s a self-defense mechanism.

Unsure if his or her decisions are truly the “right” decisions, an individual may scoff at another’s choices to bolster their own self-esteem. Maybe, as in teen movies of the ‘90s, people believe this bullying makes them “cooler.”

Realistically, neither of these reasons excuse the superiority many assume.

Truthfully, none of us should feel the need to pass this level of judgment. Just because someone enjoys an activity you do not, doesn’t make them inferior in any way, shape or form. Unfortunately, it seems a few people need reminding of a grade school lesson: Be nice.

Whether or not we choose to act like it, we are adults (and have been for quite some time). It’s past time to leave clique behavior behind. Those people who drop their “screening process” of people worth talking to usually find more friends than they thought they would.

What harmless hobbies others choose to engage in does not harm you or anyone else. Hating other people’s interests doesn’t make yours any more interesting. Though, I fear sounding like everyone’s third grade teacher, I have to ask, why can’t we all just get along?

Letter to the editor

Daily column misrepresented greek houses Community accepts all, should be spoken of better

I would first like to say how disappointed I currently am in the Iowa State Daily. I read the Daily almost every day and found the article, “Greek talks Acceptance” to be so degrading to the greek community as a whole.

As a senior in Delta Zeta, I found the article extremely hurtful. We have members that have come out and are open about being gay. We embrace them just like we do any other member. Members of the greek community are advocates for LGBTQ individuals. All greek houses on campus are safe houses for these individuals. The ISU greek community has a strict no-hazing policy, and we abide by it.

An article written nearly two years later about a past member’s experience is ridiculous. The article is irrelevant.

One of my sisters stated this in regard to the Daily article, “It’s not even about them not saying good things about the greeks, ... they do post good things, but it’s not like they’re doing us a favor by doing so. The greek community has deserved every good article the Daily has published about us. It is about the article not being fair at all with the rest of the houses that do support gay members. They focused too much on his experience and did not even bother asking other people if their experiences had been any different. So, no matter how many good articles they post about greeks or even Farmhouse, it does not justify how completely one-sided this one was.”

We had a record Greek Getaway this past weekend, with over 900 potential members.

Greek Getaway is all about promoting the greek community as a whole. The potential members get to stay at a sorority or fraterGeneral information: The Iowa State Daily is an independent student newspaper established in 1890 and written, edited, and sold by students

nity chapter house and get to see what greek life is about firsthand.

The stereotypes about greeks have to stop. We do a lot of amazing things.

Since 1825, all but three U.S. presidents have been members of a fraternity.

85 percent of Fortune 500 executives were greek. The first female astronaut was greek; so was the first female senator.

College graduation rates are 20 percent higher among greeks than non-greeks.

Which begs an obvious question: Does being in a fraternity or sorority increase your chance for success?

Nine million college students are members of a greek organization and whether they join to make friends, build their resumes, go to parties or learn leadership skills; they each have an incentive to change some aspect of their life.

A common deterrent for joining are stereotypes associated with greek life.

Fraternities and sororities are often associated with hazing, drinking and partying. Since 1975, there has been at least one hazing-induced death per year across college campuses — 82 percent of these have come as a result of binge drinking.

Hazing makes headlines — fundraisers and philanthropy events generally do not.

Although greek life has changed over time, students who take their membership seriously are still equipped with skills that can be used in their future careers. David Stollman, co-founder of CAMPUSSPEAK, said greek organizations can help students improve their leadership and interpersonal skills.

“I really see that there’s a great correlation between those skills being developed and the ability to be successful in any endeavor,” he said. “Not necessarily just famous-successful, like a president or CEO, but successful as a community leader or as a Chris Conetzkey The Des Moines Business Record Publication: ISU students subscribe to the Iowa State Daily through activity fees paid to the Government of the Student Body.

small business owner.”

What makes greek life rewarding is that members are given unique opportunities to interact with and lead their peers.

Sometimes members who don’t get along are forced to work together — skills vital in the work force. And most importantly, members are given the chance to practice and fail in their endeavors, without losing their network of support.

“You get the opportunity to fail miserably and have brothers and sisters that love you and care for you pick you up and dust you off and challenge you to do it again,” Stollman said.

Curtis Burrill, American University’s greek life coordinator, said sorority and fraternity membership teaches crucial social interaction skills. Making conversation with strangers and running weekly meetings are just two examples.

“If you can be the new member educator for 30 women, I’m probably going to hire you to run a team,” Burrill said.

At the end of the day, it’s up to the students to define their reputations.

I ask the Daily to think about what they publish. You are not only making yourself look ridiculous, but Iowa State as a whole.

As it is said in a USATODAY article, “it is up to the students to define their reputations.”

Being a part of something bigger than yourself is empowering. It is going to take a lot of positive outreach to the greek community from the Iowa State Daily to recover. The Daily needs to remember they are representing Iowa State as a whole. Don’t abuse your power. You also need to remember you are representing something bigger than yourself as well.

Fernandez beats stroke record made

by McCoy

Former Cyclone leaves last impression Nate McCoy reflects on ISU career

File photo: Iowa State Daily Nate McCoy is a year removed from his record-setting year at Iowa State, but one of the peers he mentored his senior season has started nipping at his heels.

Scott Fernandez broke McCoy’s freshman stroke average during his senior season, and Fernandez hasn’t let up since.

Here is where McCoy and Fernandez currently stand in the record books:

USE: Nate McCoy used a flop shot often to approach the green over a bunker from close range.

Photo courtesy of ISU athletics Nate McCoy graduated from Iowa State and went on to golf professionally. The alumnus left a “huge”impact on the program, said coach Andrew Tank.

By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com Nate McCoy was destined to be a golfer. With a father considered to be the best amateur golfer in the history of the state of Iowa, it would have been hard to avoid it.

Long before he was breaking records for Iowa State or winning a state championship in high school, McCoy was swinging golf clubs in his back yard and on the living room carpet.

“As soon as I could stand and walk, my dad had me out at the golf course,” McCoy said. “He’d take me there to just watch and observe.”

McCoy’s father, Mike, set an example for a young golfer. With too many accomplishments to list, Mike was inducted into the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame in 2011, solidifying him as one of the best golfers in history of the state and in Nate’s case, one of the best teachers.

“He taught me a lot of the finer shots in golf,” Nate said of his father. “How to work hard, how to practice the right way — he always was the one who pushed me harder than I wanted to be pushed, but it was the right thing.”

The hard work and dedication paid off in high school, when he placed sixth at the state tournament his junior year before winning the 4A individual state title his senior year golfing for Dowling Catholic High School in West Des Moines, Iowa.

After some success golfing some amateur events

Decision to attend Iowa State With success comes attention, and Nate McCoy had to decide which college to attend, due to nationwide interest. He decided based on what Iowa State didn’t do than anything else.

“I had some opportunities to go to some schools down south, but every coach from every school down south really had nothing but bad things to say about Iowa State,” McCoy said. “I just was like, ‘That’s my home. That’s my state. That’s where I grew up. If you don’t think I can make it there, then I’m going to prove you wrong.’

“I kind of went there because Iowa State was the only school that didn’t have to bad-mouth another school to get me to go there. I thought that was kind of a difference I saw out of Iowa State.”

in the summer, including a fifth-place finish at the Iowa Masters, McCoy headed just up the road in Ames.

McCoy started his career at Iowa State with immediate success, breaking the freshman stroke average record and finishing as the No. 2 golfer in his first year. His sophomore year was more of the same, finishing in the top 10 twice and finishing No. 2 on the team again.

All seemed to be going according to plan for the collegiate golfer until the resignation of his coach forced a change in the program. The change, however, wasn’t necessarily a negative one.

Andrew Tank, who took over as Iowa State’s coach in 2010, was familiar with the McCoy family, having grown up in the same city and gone to the same high school. The two had the same high school coach, and McCoy had even introduced himself at a tournament in college while Tank was coaching at Minnesota.

“When he came to Iowa

State, I was happy with the decision to bring him in because I knew he was a good guy, and he had a lot to offer to the program,” McCoy said.

The two seemed to mesh immediately with McCoy using Tank’s coaching to improve his game and Tank using McCoy as a veteran role model on which to build a program.

In Tank’s first year, McCoy led the team in scoring average, finishing in the top five a total of three times during the season and becoming the first Cyclone to finish with medalist honors since Jeremy Lyons in 2004.

“I remember when I got the job in July, calling him and he was playing in some of the top amateur tournaments in the country, and he was starting to have some pretty good finishes,” Tank said. “He was starting to go to that next level that summer before his junior year.”

It wasn’t until after his junior year that McCoy launched himself into the

national spotlight and helped Tank and assistant coach Patrick Datz launch the program in the right direction.

“That senior year is when he really hit his stride and was just consistently in the top 10,” Tank said.

McCoy finished his career as a Cyclone with the best season stroke average in ISU history and the secondbest career stoke average. He recorded the lowest 54-hole round in school history and helped the team to multiple team records.

At the conclusion of his senior year, he was awarded the most prestigious award by the school: Iowa State Male Athlete of the Year.

“It was definitely an honor that I did not expect,” McCoy said. “Some days, I think about it and say, ‘I can’t believe that happened.’ It was unbelievable.”

Now, almost a year after finishing his career at Iowa State, McCoy golfs professionally on the PGA Canadian Tour. This May, he will play the U.S. Open local qualifying tournament to hope to advance to the U.S. Open.

After golfing more than 20 events in his short career, McCoy is still getting used to the routine.

“Traveling, getting used to being on the road by yourself,” McCoy said of adjusting to professional golf.

“Sometimes, it’s hard not having a support group like I had at Iowa State, and it’s something that I definitely miss.”

McCoy took a piece of

Iowa State with him when he left, marrying his college sweetheart, Ashley Costanzo, only months after graduating.

Costanzo was a year ahead of McCoy in school, playing goalkeeper for the ISU soccer team.

While McCoy was preparing to leave the school, he recalled talking to Tank.

“I remember asking Coach Tank for some advice because he was recently married,” McCoy said with a chuckle. “I asked him a lot about marriage as well as golf advice.”

After graduation, marriage and a start at professional golf, McCoy still hasn’t lost contact with his alma mater. Although his ISU career has ended, he made a lasting impression on the program.

“Huge,” Tank said of the impact McCoy made. “He was a big part of the success we had. We brought in some different players for his senior year, and he was such a great leader for last year.”

With players like Scott Fernandez, Sam Daley and Duncan Croudis all mentored by McCoy, the next generation of Cyclone golf will always have a little McCoy to it.

“Being around Nate the last few years has been a great experience,” said assistant coach Patrick Datz. “I’ve learned a lot from him, and I think he was a coach on the field when coach Tank and I weren’t around.”

“He’s a big part of why the program is where it is right now.”

Cyclones win one of three against Hawkeyes Both teams undefeated before weekend series

By Ryan.Berg @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State and Iowa were both undefeated in conference play heading into the series between them this weekend.

“We’ve known that this series would probably be the one that has the biggest effect on the outcome of the conference,” said senior playercoach Ethan Schroeder. “We actually were not able to get any decent outdoor practices in last week due to the poor weather; however, everyone was still ready to go come Saturday morning.”

The series between the in-state rivals would determine the lone conference leader and a possibility to remain undefeated in conference play.

However, both teams’ undefeated record was ruined as Iowa (11-4, 5-1 Mid-America North) defeated Iowa State (7-8, 7-2) two out of three times.

“We definitely have the talent needed to beat Iowa and unfortunately fell short this time around,” said sophomore pitcher Chad Allmann.

In game one of the series, the Cyclones quickly got up to a 5-0 lead

before the Hawkeyes scored six unanswered runs to win 6-5.

“It was really just a few plays that made the outcome, a couple of errors that helped lead to them scoring some late-game runs and not being able to execute at the plate while having runners in scoring position caused us to leave a lot of runs on the field,” Schroeder said. “We just need to be able to continue to execute while the pressure is on.”

In the second game of the series, the Cyclones were able to get up to another quick lead of 3-0 in the third inning. The Hawkeyes’ comeback effort was not enough this time as the Cyclones won 4-3.

The series was tied at 1-1 heading into the next day with one game to decide the winner. The third and final game of the series was delayed an hour due to weather that brought scattered showers to the game.

The Hawkeyes were able to score a run in the final inning to win 1-0 and take the lead in the conference standings. The Hawkeyes have won four consecutive Mid-America North Conference titles heading into the season.

The closely fought series between the teams showed that the improvement is there from when the season started in Florida.

File photo: Iowa State Daily University of Iowa third baseman Mike Schnur is high-fived by catcher Ian Barber on April 1, 2012 after scoring the go-ahead run against Iowa State.

“Everyone has gotten better, not to mention that our team chemistry is fantastic now,” Allmann said.

As far as talent goes, the club feels it is in good position in that department, too.

“I think that this team we have right now is one of the more talented we’ve had in a while,” Schroeder said.

“Our pitching staff is as good as it’s ever been in the four years I’ve been here, and we have a lot of guys really seeing the ball well at the plate right now.”

The Cyclones will be back in action in two weeks against Northern Iowa at Cap Timm Field in Ames on April 27-28.

Wiseguys eatery to open Ames will gain new, unique burger joint

By Justin.Senecaut @iowastatedaily.com There is a new restaurant opening up in Campustown called Wiseguys.

Campustown already has its fair share of burrito, sandwich and pizza places, but Caleb Johnson said he thought it was missing something.

Johnson is the majority owner of Wiseguys; he owns 50 percent of the restaurant and has two partners who each own 25 percent of the business.

“We looked around to try to find a place to set up a restaurant. We were trying to find something Ames was missing, so we are opening up a burger place,” Johnson said.

The building that Wiseguys is going to be in was a bar before it was bought by Johnson and his partners.

They bought the service from Tyler Donielson and Chris Marks, who are the owners of TC General Contractors.

Donielson and Marks said they have put in a new floor, as well as redoing the bar and walls of the res-

taurant.

Johnson wants to make sure that the place is up to standards to make it look as new as possible. Updates to the kitchen have been made to make sure that it looks more like a restaurant than it does a bar. Wiseguys is both a restaurant and a bar, but Johnson wants to focus on the restaurant part of Wiseguys.

The restaurant is going to focus more on hamburgers than anything else, though it will have other options.

“You could compare Wiseguys to Zombie Burger that is in Des Moines,” Marks said.

They want to make it so that Wiseguys has unique choices of hamburgers, just like Zombie Burger, and have deals to make people want to come and try new things.

“We are trying to open up Wiseguys the Thursday during VEISHEA,” said Johnson.

Wiseguys is for all ages and plans to add variety to the area.

Financial aid

Grant, loan options available to students

By Zoe.Woods @iowastatedaily.com

Photo: Suit Yee Yee/Iowa State Daily Many students pay tuition through loans. However, between the two choices — federal loans and private loans — federal loans may be a better choice. There are still options for those who haven’t filed their FAFSA.

Funding a college education is an issue that many students have to deal with. The FAFSA form can help many of those students find the money to pay for their academic learning.

For those students who have filed a FAFSA by March 1, they “will be considered for an ISU Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal WorkStudy, and a Federal Perkins Loan if they have sufficient need,” said Roberta Johnson, director of Financial Aid. Luckily, it is not too late for students to receive financial aid if a FAFSA form was not filed by March 1.

Students ultimately have until June 30 to file a FAFSA form for the 2013-14 academic year.

However, “If a student is seeking a Federal Direct Stafford Loan, the promissory note needs to be submitted prior to the last day of classes,” Johnson said.

Students do have the option to not get a government-funded student loan. A private loan, which is a bank or credit union loan, is also available to a student in need.

“Typically, private loans can have relatively low interest rates, but usually, only students with strong cosigners receive them,” Johnson said.

Even though private loans are available, “students should always take advantage of the federal loan option before they turn to private loans,” Johnson stressed.

The federal loan option gives a broad array of tools students can use

Seven repayment options: ■■ Standard Repayment Plan (Payments are a fixed amount of at least $50 per month for up to 10 years) ■■ Graduated Repayment Plan (Payments are lower at first and then increase, usually every two years for up to 10 years) ■■ Extended Repayment Plan (Payments may be fixed or graduated for up to 25 years) ■■ Income-Based Repayment Plan (Payments change as income changes, payments made for up to 25 years) ■■ Pay as you earn Repayment Plan (Payments change as income changes, payments made for up to 20 years) ■■ Income-Contingent Repayment Plan (Payments change as income changes, payments made for up to 25 years) ■■ Income-Sensitive Repayment Plan (Monthly payments are based on annual income, payments are made for up to 10 years)

to pay off their debts.

It offers seven different repayment options for the student. Private loans do not offer such luxuries.

Federal loans are considered to be the most beneficial for a student because the loan does not accrue interest while the student is in school.

There also is a six-month grace period after the student graduates before he or she has to start making payments.

The federal options that are still available for students through filing a FAFSA form is the Pell Grant and the Federal Direct Stafford Loan.

The Pell Grant is a limited amount of money provided by the federal government that allows the student to cover any expenses related to

education.

The Federal Direct Stafford Loan is supplemented by the U.S. Department of Education and administered by the college.

The Student Financial Aid Office strongly encourages students to file a FAFSA form so federal funding is available to them.

“I am glad that I filed my FAFSA on time because it gave me more options to fund my college education,” said Eric Langford, freshman in animal ecology.

He stresses that other students do the same. “It’s important to understand what is being offered and how that can help pay for a college education.”
