One-on-One with Richard Reynolds 4 | ONE-ON-ONE | Iowa State Daily | Wednesday, June 4, 2014

By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com Richard Reynolds has been the director of the Memorial Union for more than 10 years.

He works in all parts of the MU to bring students, faculty and community members all the services that can be found in the building.

What are some of the broad strokes of your position as director?

The Memorial Union was founded to serve students in the campus community, so when it comes to the meeting room function of what we do here, the first priority is to serve the student organizations.

In terms of other users of the facility — those are the people who are not affiliated with the university directly in terms of funding — we do wedding-related events and we have Odyssey of the Mind in the Memorial Union as well as many other [events]. Users who are not directly affiliated with the university pay for the use of it, and that helps support our budget.

What are some of your favorite yearly traditions?

The one that has been re-instituted since I arrived is the Gold Star Hall Ceremony. We try to have that as close to Veteran’s Day as we possibly can, and in that ceremony we honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. We engrave the names of those who are honored in the ceremony in the Gold Star Hall itself. That ceremony is really meaningful be-

cause in some cases it finally brings closure to the families that have lost loved ones in the theater of battle. If we have not had any casualties in the recent conflicts, we go back to the previous wars we have been engaged in — all the way back to World War I — to find people who were not honored as individuals ... The Zodiac is really interesting to me and I honor the tradition of walking around it, but one of the funniest things I have seen since I have been here is right after a

What is the most important thing that students coming into Iowa State should know about the Memorial Union?

The most important thing for students to know is that we

have the Student Activities Center downstairs. That is where they can get involved and get engaged with the campus and start meeting people from the very outset of their college experience here.

What are some of the crazi-

est things you have seen in the MU? Right before graduation I was coming back from a meeting in Beardshear [Hall] and a young man took his shirt off and did a belly flop into the Fountain of Four Seasons ... The people who got splashed on seemed to enjoy the experience as well. There have been some neat, sentimental things that have occurred in the building also. One young man asked if he could have access to the Great Hall. He said he did not need anything set up, just time in there. About an hour later, he and a young woman walked up on the stage and he proposed to her. They met during an event in the Great Hall and so he felt like that was the appropriate place to propose to her.

As far as we know, she accepted the proposal, which was wonderful. There are also stories about having ghosts in the building. We say the one we have is a friendly ghost. We have staff who work in the evenings who have heard various noises in the building and we have identified that ghost as being Hortense Wind, who is the only woman on the wall [in Gold Star Hall] ... So we say it is Hortense, who is tired of being surrounded by all these men and is wandering around looking for some reasonable conversation with [women].

150 Years of Ames

Dinkey train transforms Ames travel Courtesy of the Ames Historical Society

The Dinkey train began as an idea for a horse-car railway.

It began running in 1891 and was replaced by buses in 1929. The Hub, the Dinkey’s terminal, is now a cafe and study spot today.

Editor’s note: In celebration of the 150th anniversary of our city, the Daily will highlight prominent figures, places and events in Ames’ history each week.

By Maddy.Arnold @iowastatedaily.com Traveling across Ames was not always as easy as jumping on a CyRide bus.

The first students of Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm, commuting the few miles between the city of Ames and campus was a struggle.

Students and staff of the early college had to travel by foot or horse across dirt roads to reach the school each day. As the years went on and the population of both Iowa State and Ames grew, the need for a better mode of transportation became apparent.

The problem continued until 1890 when a group of locals thought up a solution to the problem, according to the Ames Historical Society. The group formed a cooporative and sought approval to establish a regular form of transportation for students and Ames residents.

According to the Ames Historical Society website, the company would be known as the Ames and College Railway. The original proposal was for a “horse-car railway” system between Ames and the Iowa Agricultural College.

The new company was granted approval to build a new transportation system in Ames and on campus but only if it used an enginepowered system instead of animal power. The company agreed and began construction on a new railroad.

The new railway was complete soon after and made its first run from downtown Ames to the heart of campus on July 4, 1891. The two trains that ran on this railroad eventually became known as the

Dinkey and was the community’s first form of rapid transit.

The Dinkey ran every hour between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. The train remained affordable for students throughout much of its existence. For almost three decades, a ride on the Dinkey cost only a nickel.

According to the Ames Historical Society, the name Dinkey could have originated as a nickname for the train’s small engine or “a corruption of the term ‘donkey’ engine, a type of locomotive used for hauling and shunting rail cars.”

Once the Dinkey arrived, the original route went behind the Farm House, in front of what is now Catt Hall and ended at a terminal between Morrill Hall and the site where Beardshear is now located.

This terminal came to be known as the Hub. After altering the routes around campus a few times, the Dinkey ended in 1929 and was replaced with a bus service. But that was not the end of the Dinkey’s legacy at Iowa State.

In 1920, the Hub was moved from the south side of Morrill Hall to the west side of Morrill Hall where it is located today. Once the Dinkey train service was suspended, the Hub was used as a post office and bookstore.

Once the bookstore moved out of the Hub to the Memorial Union in 1958, the Hub began serving snacks, according to the Ames Historical Society. In 1963, snack service was expanded and a ticket office moved into the Hub. Throughout the years, the Hub morphed from a train terminal into the cafe and study spot it is today.

Wednesday, June 4, 2014 Editor: Katie Titus opinion@iowastatedaily.com Iowa State Daily

Editorial Noah Cary/Iowa State Daily

Bruce Rastetter, president of the Board of Regents, addresses the audience at the efficiency forum on April 1. The regents’ new funding model is based on the number of Iowa residents are enrolled at each of the three public universities.

Regents funding model moves Iowa in right direction Iowa has had a long and proud history of quality education in the state. But a change in the Board of Regents funding model is needed to continue this tradition of educating Iowans. A new proposed funding model will support schools that educate Iowans, those who live and work in the state, just as it should be.

Iowa should be investing its resources in the universities that educate in-state students. This will encourage schools to recruit, educate and graduate those people who will stay and work in Iowa after their degrees are finished.

The Board of Regents recently compiled the Performance-based Revenue Model Task Force to determine the best possible way of funding the three regent universities in Iowa.

The task force proposed a funding model — which recommends that 60 percent of the General Educate Fund be allocated based on the number of resident enrollment at each school — will not only be a positive change for students from Iowa, but for Iowa State University as a whole.

The regents are hoping to change its current base-plus funding model. This current funding model uses last year’s allocations to each university’s general education fund and “seeks additional funding to address increased costs related

to salary and other inflationary increases,” according to the task force’s report.

This model has led to often unfair and unbalanced funding for the three state universities. According to the task force’s proposal, in the fall of 2013, Iowa State received only 63 percent of the funding Iowa received for each resident student. University of Northern Iowa received only 59 percent of Iowa’s total for each resident student.

Broken down into dollar amounts, Iowa State got $8,765 from the General Education Fund for each resident student. Northern Iowa only received $8,229, while Iowa — which has decreasing resident enrollment — got $13,966 for each in-state student. Put simply, the new funding model should have the opposite effect.

This model is set up to reward schools with the most undergraduate resident enrollment. One of the biggest priorities for the task force was increasing the number of college graduates in Iowa from the three public universities.

This new model might negatively affect a school like Iowa while it has positive effects for both Iowa State and Northern Iowa which are the schools with increasing undergraduate resident enrollment. According to the proposal, Iowa’s resident enrollment has decreased almost

16 percent — more than 3,000 students across all programs — since 1981 to the fall of 2013. Northern Iowa’s has increased slightly (262 students) while Iowa State’s has increased 13 percent (2,241 students).

While this new funding model may hurt the University of Iowa — which fills almost half of its student body with nonresident enrollees — in the short term, it will help the state of Iowa, its economy and its three public universities in the long run. The more resources the state of Iowa can invest in its own students, the better off the state will be.

In the long run, this will encourage the universities to educate students from Iowa who are planning to stay, live and work in Iowa in the future. These students stay in Iowa more often than the out-ofstate students who come here just for the education and move away after.

In the short term, this model will get much-needed funding to the schools that need it the most. The total cost of an undergraduate education in Iowa is not fully covered by undergraduate tuition while it is required that non-resident tuition cover the full cost of an education.

So it only makes sense that the most funding should go to the schools with the biggest number of in-state students and fewest out-of-state students. This will encourage Iowa schools to invest its time

and resources in educating Iowans.

The decisions the board is making are important because what we need to be focused on is the students who will be graduating from Iowa schools and getting Iowa jobs. Therefore, schools that have invested in educating those who will live and work in Iowa even after their education is complete should be supported fully. The new funding model is nothing to be afraid of; in fact, it may be exactly what the students need.

Changes in India could affect American business

By Raghul.Ethiraj @iowastatedaily.com

B

y now, most of you would have read about the Indian election or at least heard of it. With more than 800 million registered voters, India took pride in conducting the largest-ever election in the world. Narendra Modi, the leader of the Hindu Nationalist Bharatiya Janata party, had a historic landslide victory over the incumbent national Congress which ran the office for the past decade.

Modi is viewed as pro-business. He campaigned on a promise of economic revival through foreign investments and businesses. His victory in the election is viewed as a beginning of an economic boom in India. If this is true, it could affect the American companies as well.

Wal-Mart recently announced plans to

open 50 new wholesale locations in India.

It is currently banned from entering the retail business due to a protectionist policy which many believe Modi will eliminate.

Currently Starbucks, has stores in more than 40 locations at four different states in India. McDonalds, KFC, Burger King, Papa John’s and Domino’s are other examples of rapidly growing western food chains in India.

So with a pro-business attitude of this new government, many American companies could start expanding to India to serve its 1.2 billion people, not just in retail and fast food but in other lines of businesses as well, including fashion, medicine, agriculture and defense.

If this happens, India could become more like America, in terms of businesses and lifestyle at least. India could be a home away from home for an average American who could continue to shop at

Be at the front of the pack www.bikeworldiowa.com 126 South 3rd St.

Wal-Mart and grab coffee in Starbucks. This would change the whole experience for anyone choosing to visit, study abroad or settle in India.

But this influx has its repercussions. India could be impacted by the western ideologies potentially influencing the Indian culture itself. It is worth noting that more than 20 percent of the school-going Indian kids are already obese, mainly due to western junk food.

An official Government Accountability Office report says that between 2000 and 2009, 46.9 percent of the total approved H-1B visa holders had India as their country of birth. According to Department of Labor website, “H-1B provisions are to help employers who cannot obtain needed business skills and abilities from the U.S. workforce by authorizing temporary employment to qualified individuals.” Nearly half of the H-1B visa holders were from India, mostly being hired for technology-related positions, followed by China and Canada.

When you think about it, IndianAmericans are now CEOs of some of the world’s largest technology companies, including Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Harman and Bose, and directors and senior executives at Google, Cisco, HP and other leading companies.

American companies have already started establishing firm roots in India.

IBM for instance, through a subsidiary called IBM India, has more than 100,000 employees there. Zynga, the maker of “Farmville,” opened its largest office outside of the United States in Bangalore, India — a year after the company was started. Microsoft and Google have offices in India whose employees work on products ranging from Xbox to fancy computer servers.

If Modi’s economic reforms go through, India could become a lucrative heaven for businesses and startups, backed by government incentive programs packaged with relatively cheap and skilled labor from India and China.

Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India, could rework the business world of his country, affecting foreign industries around the globe.

Indian economy is booming. India just surpassed Japan to become the third largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity according to the recent World Bank report, preceded by China and the U.S. Given India’s development along with a pro-business and foreign investment government led by Modi could potentially transform India to be the next Silicon Valley.

Investors are currently pouring billions of dollars into the Indian economy, hoping to rise with the wave. This could be seen as the time when people invested in Apple before it went mainstream or buying stocks in Amazon.com when it was nothing more than a book selling site.

So what could this mean to you at Iowa State? Well, the next time you sit next to a classmate from India, think about this new political and cultural ideologies that they could bring with them.

While you think about that, a pizzeria in Mumbai has already started delivering pizzas using drones.

But among all this excitement, Indians should also have some realistic standards.

They should not expect one person to change everything and save India from corruption and poverty while boosting its economy. Change comes from each person doing his or her part first.

India needs to be cautious when it plans to encourage foreign businesses.

Because the last time it tried, it got colonized and lost its identity. This time, it doesn’t have to lose what is left of India.

Two unlikely friends meet again at Iowa State during Odyssey of the Mind World Finals

m b e r Thurnau, coach of a small-town Midwestern team in this year’s Odyssey of the Mind, has a pretty normal life. She went to Fontbonne University, a small Catholic college and “a school no one’s ever heard of,” by her own admission, located outside of St. Louis.

Thurnau is married with two kids and works as a high school English teacher in Belleville, Ill. But one of her oldest friends lived a very different life.

Thomas Off is an enthusiastic coach at Odyssey’s Creativity Festival with a wide smile to match his wide steps. Off was born in 1975 in Potsdam, Germany, then on the wrong side of the Berlin Wall. When he finally got his first glimpse of the free world, the first friend he made was Thurnau.

Odyssey of the Mind is problem-solving and knowledge competition for students of all ages around the world.

The event challenges them to conjure up the most creative solutions they can muster.

This year’s Odyssey of

the Mind World Finals were on Iowa State’s campus last week.

One of the problems tasked the students with supporting as much weight as possible using a balsa wood structure, while others asked them to build machines that performed specific functions, such as moving tennis balls from place to place.

When Off and Thurnau first met at the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals in 1991, their problem was Pompeii.

Specifically, they had to act out a scene from the Roman town that had a bad run-in with a powerful volcano two millennia ago. They had to build believable artifacts, such as a vase, that could have come from Pompeii. Their performance included a poem and various pieces of artwork.

Thurnau said Odyssey of the Mind is not a simple matter of following directions; the competition is much more challenging than that.

“Kids have to build machines, but they also have to create a script for a skit or presentation,” Thurnau said.

In other words, it is not enough just to build something at Odyssey of the Mind.

Competitors have to know why they’re building it, what it means and be able to articulate that to the judges. They essentially need to be able to tell a story on multiple levels.

For a few years, Thurnau and Off met at Odyssey of the Mind, making it to the finals in

1992, 1994 and 1995. In 199 the Odyssey of the Mind fi at Iowa State, Off also m woman named Juliane.

Eventually, Off and Jul got married, he became a employed software devel and they had children.

Life took over for Thu and Off. The two friends changed sporadic emails f few years, but over time simply followed their paths. Nearly two decade ter the last time they saw other, Thurnau and Off re nected on Facebook.

Among the many thing fered by Odyssey of the M there is a Buddy Team prog This program is a way for te in North America to meet support their internati counterparts.

It was the perfect oppo nity: two creative thinkers once competed together w now coach the next genera together. There is no long Berlin Wall, but a unique e is still giving people the ch to break down barriers. M of Off’s German students never been to America be the Odyssey competition.

Now Off said the kids not only learning new th but they are also making friends halfway across world.

“The first thing the kid in the morning is when will see Amber’s team,” Off They’ll get to see more of Thurnau’s team

Off and his team will be going to stay in Belleville for a week.

It’s all part of exactly what the founders of Odyssey intended: new things, new places, new ideas and new people.

Thurnau’s 10-yearold son, Ayden, is on the team this year, tackling the Not-So-Haunted-House problem. Her 5-year-old daughter, Bryleygh, wants to get in on it when she’s older as well. Off’s team includes his 10-year-old son, Jakob, and his 8-year-old daughter, Pauline.

When asked what they like best about Odyssey of the Mind, Ayden said he likes working together with other kids to solve problems.

Jakob said he likes having contact with other cultures.

Pauline is a little less picky. Standing a few feet away from her father, shyly looking down at the ground with her hands folded behind her yellow dress, she smiles when spoken to and, when asked what her favorite part is, she answers her father in German.

“I love everything,” Pauline said and Off translated.

Hallie Christofferson leaves college play behind, grabs onto new opportunity in Austrian Women’s League

By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com

V

ienna, Austria, is known to its residents as the city of dreams.

The nickname is fitting where former ISU basketball standout Hallie Christofferson is concerned, as she will head overseas in September to do something that she said stretches beyond anything she has ever imagined — playing professional basketball.

“Honestly, I did not have a goal beyond college basketball because I did not know I would have the capability to continue playing,” Christofferson said. “Everything from here on out is just another blessing. I am taking it day by day and whatever happens, happens.”

Christofferson, who was an All Big 12 first-team selection three times during her time at Iowa State, will continue her basketball career in the Austrian Women’s League as a member of the Flying Foxes.

She received the news from her agent after spending two weeks in Phoenix with that city’s WNBA franchise, the Phoenix Mercury.

“The season ended and I did not know what was going to happen,” Christofferson said. “Then I got an opportunity to go down and tryout with Phoenix. When they cut their roster down, I was one of those who got cut and so I came back to Ames. I did not know what was going to happen.”

ISU women’s head basketball coach Bill Fennelly has great respect for his former star’s game, but he said he was not

very surprised that Christofferson was cut from the tryouts because of both the WNBA’s competitiveness and the shortage of employment opportunities that exists there.

“It is a tough league to make. They only hold 11 players and there are only 12 teams, so there is just not a lot of jobs available,” Fennelly said. “I was surprised she did not get drafted, but making a team if you are not a first round pick is borderline impossible in that league.”

Fennelly was an active participant in the process of Christofferson finding her way to the Austrian pro league and acknowledged that the Phoenix tryout probably helped her in that regard.

He added that it will likely help her later down the road if she aspires to again tryout for the WNBA. As for now, Christofferson is preparing in Ames and utilizing Iowa State’s facilities to lift weights and work on her game, which she said is actually more suited for the new European style of play in which she will soon be participating.

“That [European] style of play is not as physical as it is here, but I think that will work to my advantage,” Christofferson said. “I am more of a face-up player than a back-to-the-basket player, so that will be something I will use. I will just keep working on the stuff that has gotten me this far.”

Christofferson was a use-as-needed type of player her entire career at Iowa State, playing power forward her first two

seasons, moving to small forward in her junior year and finishing out her career as the team’s center during the 201314 season.

“She has great versatility for a kid with some size,” Fennelly said. “She can score in a variety of ways. She can shoot 3s, post up and she is a great free-throw shooter. Her versatility offensively has made her a really good player at this point throughout her collegiate career.”

Christofferson signed a one-year deal to play for the Flying Foxes, from which she will return in April 2015 and reassess her options at that point.

For now, the standout basketball player from rural Hanlan, Iowa, said she is simply excited for what comes next and for the opportunity to travel to another country for the first time in her life.

“I have heard [Austria] is beautiful and have only heard other good things about it so far,” Christofferson said. “It should be a lot of fun to explore, so I am looking forward to getting familiar with all of that. Anywhere in Europe is somewhere I would like to see because I have never been anywhere [over] there.”

Christofferson will play most of her games in Austria but may travel to Slovakia for

an occasional contest. She said she was more concerned with the safety of the area to which she would be heading than she was with the financial details of her contract. She added that she feels comfortable with the situation in which she now finds herself. “[The Flying Foxes] were really excited about Hallie and they really thought she fit their club,” Fennelly said. “I think she is going into a situation that is really good for her both personally and professionally, and that is what we really tried to look for in the options that she had.”

As for Fennelly and the ISU program, they are left to try and replace the substantial hole in the team’s lineup due to the departure of Christofferson.

“It is really hard because not only was she our best player, but was a kid that really represented the Iowa State way,” Fennelly said. “She was a great student, a great player and a great teammate. That is hard to replace and we do not have any single player who can replace her.

“Hopefully three or four people combined can add up to Hallie’s [contributions]. I am more worried about the off the court presence. The points and rebounds, you can find that somewhere. It is the [intangibles] which will be the hardest to replace.”

Campus museum The best exhibits works by Christian Petersen college job

By Jasmine.Schillinger @iowastatedaily.com This summer University Museums has started a new exhibition dedicated to a handful of Christian Petersen’s thousands of works, along with some more contemporary art from other artists.

Petersen was the nation’s first permanent campus artist-in-residence, according to the Iowa State University Museum’s website. Pertersen was a sculptor and professor during his time at Iowa State from 1934 through 1955. Petersen created twelve primary works, now located throughout Iowa State’s campus.

The exhibition is located on the ground floor gallery of Morrill Hall. The display will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Monday through Friday until Aug. 4.

Lynette Pohlman, director and chief curator of University Museums, said Christian Petersen had a significant impact on faculty and students during his time at Iowa State.

“The goals of this exhibition are to give a small overview about who he was, what made him unique about interpreting our campus, and how do his works represent Iowa State University,” Pohlman said.

For this exhibition, sections of his smaller works are displayed, but the exhibition also includes other artists’ work to give the audience diversity in expression and thought. Most people look at a work of art and decide whether they like it or dislike it in the first three seconds of staring at it, Pohlman said.

“A lot of people on campus are familiar with the public art that’s he’s done because you walk by it every day and you see it a little bit more often,” said Nancy Girard, educator of visual literacy and learning for University Museums. “I think it’s interesting for people to see more of his work and some of the things he was doing in the studio.”

Girard said it will be nice to show people a bigger collection of Petersen’s lesserknown work.

“Petersen helped his students learn to look and appreciate what they made

and what others made,” Pohlman said.

“Students looked at his class as a safe place to become acquainted with one another and engage in student to student interaction.” A lot of art goes unnoticed not only on our beautiful campus but all around the world she said.

Girard said art has the ability to teach people about history, philosophy and who an individual is as a person.

“People need to get engaged. People learn from art when they engage with it,” Pohlman said. “If you want to get to know someone, you have to spend time with it.

You have to use your mind and your heart to expand your horizons.”

When the museum first opened in 2007, Elizabeth Anderson, one of Petersen’s students, came in. Anderson told Pohlman that she was Petersen’s last student at Iowa State. She was enrolled in his class the summer before he retired and was the only student in the class.

Anderson asked Pohlman what else she wanted to do with the art on campus and Pohlman told her that she would love to have a sculpture garden. It is now the Anderson Sculpture Garden located on Central Campus.

Anderson told Pohlman that whenever she and her husband arrived in a new place, the first thing they would do was check out the art museum. “It’s important to learn about the art in that place, wherever you are in the world, and learn about that culture. That’s what I learned from Petersen’s class,” Pohlman said Anderson told her.

Petersen has had lasting impressions on the people who came into contact with him. Throughout his legacy at Iowa State, he has become an inspiration to not only artists but to the Ames community as a whole.

“He taught students how to connect with the world,” Pohlman said. “The whole reason we have art here, to create beauty, intellectual thought and expression to inspire students to be world class citizens.”
