Ames Police responded to a report of a male ISU student who had fallen from a fifth-floor balcony at 1:32 a.m.

Sunday on the south side of Legacy Towers, 119 Stanton Ave. Sgt. Dan Walter, of Ames Police,

said an officer immediately arrived at the scene after having been flagged down by an individual seconds after the fall.

Walter said no foul play was suspected. The investigation is still active.

The police are not commenting on the current condition of the man who fell, but Walter said the man was taken to Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines.

As of Sunday afternoon, the police could not confirm whether the man jumped from the balcony. The student’s name also has not been

released.

Multiple witnesses reported that the man jumped from the balcony.

“I was out on the [bar] deck before, during and after he jumped,” said an employee of Big Shots Bar who wishes to remain anonymous. “He was out on one of the balconies — there wasn’t

anyone up there with him — then he climbed over the railing and was hanging on with his arms behind him.”

The witness said someone from the bar deck yelled at the man encouraging him to climb back over the railing. The witness explained that the man did climb back over the railing but immediately returned.

“Next thing I knew, he was off the ledge and on the ground,” the witness said. “I really couldn’t tell if he jumped or fell.”

Homecoming performance names Gilbert as headliner Brantley Gilbert, a country musician, has been announced as the main entertainment for the Friday of Homecoming on Oct. 26.

The Student Union Board, a student organization that works to provide a diverse set of programs for all students, announced Gilbert will headline the event at 8 p.m. at Hilton Coliseum that Friday with Uncle Kracker, Greg Bates and Brian Davis as openers.

The event is open to both ISU students and the public, with tickets going on sale this Thursday.

All ISU students will be receiving an email containing a discount code for the tickets, which will bring the price of tickets to $30 to be on the floor and $23 for the 100 and 200 levels in Hilton.

Students will only be able to purchase one ticket with their student ID. Public prices will be $37 to be on the floor and $30 for the 100 and 200 levels.

Surviving week one of any academic year is an accomplishment in itself. There are new classrooms in new buildings to find, new professors with intimidating rules about what you can and cannot do to pass their class, and awkward conversations to be had as everyone learns to make new friends in each of their classes.

While there are those at Iowa State who aspire to put Hermione Granger to shame this semester, others will struggle with their classes and will be at a loss of what options are available to them in terms of handling their academic woes.

Several students will disappointedly learn this that the last day to drop a class without consequence was last Friday. The information is available to students online if they know how to find it, said Ashlee Richardson, graduate assistant for the Academic Success Center based in Hixson-Lied.

“Without looking into it, I can say students wouldn’t know how to do it, but it’s pretty readily available information — you just have to kind of inquiry about it,” Richardson said.

“That’s why students don’t know if they don’t do it before the end of the first week it won’t even be on their record, so it’s usually on their record because they don’t know any better. It’s especially hard for freshmen because I’m sure their orientation program says it, but whether

I can say students wouldn’t know how to do it, but it’s pretty readily available information” Ashlee Richardson or not they listening, I don’t know.”

“Every student has so many drops per their academic careers, as undergraduate students,” said Diane Rupp, associate registrar for the Office of Registrar. “[Friday] was the last day where you could drop a course and not have it go against that count.”

Students who enter as freshmen are allowed five class drops after the first week their classes start. The number of drops allowed varies by which college the student is attending and at which grade status they enter Iowa State.

If a class is needed and a student is unsure of whether or not they can pass it to their satisfaction, there are additional options they can pursue. Auditing is a way for a student to take a class but to not receive a grade.

Audited classes are factored into tuition, but they do not count toward the number of semester hours a student is taking. For example, a student at Iowa State can take 9 hours of classes that are graded and 3 hours of classes which are audited and not be considered a full-

Empire State shooting victim hit 5 times in head NEW YORK (CNN) -- The man killed by a former co-worker on a Manhattan sidewalk Friday was shot five times in the head, the New York Medical Examiner’s office said Sunday.

Steven Ercolino, 41, was shot

by Jeffrey Johnson, 58, with a .45-caliber pistol before two New York police officers killed Johnson in the shadow of the Empire State Building, authorities said.

Ercolino died from head wounds, but he also suffered “a graze wound to the chest, but nothing that would have killed him,” said Ellen Borakove, the medical examiner’s spokeswoman.

Two officers responding to the shooting fired 16 rounds at Johnson, a disgruntled former apparel designer, killing him after he engaged in a gunbattle with police, authorities said.

Johnson, who served in the U.S. Coast Guard in the mid1970s, had two rounds left in his pistol. It holds eight, New

York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Saturday.

Johnson died from nine gunshot wounds in his chest, the medical examiner’s office said.

Three bullets were recovered from his body, while another four bullets exited his body, the medical examiner said. No explanation was given for two apparently unaccounted for bullets.

Nine pedestrians suffered bullet or fragment wounds in the hail of gunfire, all from shots fired by police, Kelly said.

Three passers-by sustained direct gunshot wounds, while the remaining six were hit by fragments, Kelly said.

One officer shot nine rounds and the other shot seven.

Ercolino had apparently filed a prior complaint against his assailant, claiming that he thought Johnson would eventually try to kill him.

time student.

“An audited course is an individual who sits in on a class, they’re still paying their own tuition for a class, but ... they aren’t receiving a grade. They may or may not take the test. It depends on how they want to do that. Normally it does not show up on their transcript that they sat in on the course unless they request it,” Rupp said. “Just to get additional educational background in an area. Some want it as a refresher. Some want it strictly for the educational purposes, but some don’t necessarily want the grade.”

The last day to switch from graded to audited is this Friday.

Also this Friday is the last day to switch a class from graded to pass/not pass without it counting toward the number of allotted pass/not pass classes a student can take.

“Pass/not pass is a situation where the student voluntarily is electing to do pass/not pass,” Rupp said. “The instructor is not aware that the student has changed from a graded to pass/not pass.

As long as they pass the course with a D- or better it would show as a pass on their permanent record.”

Rupp, however, said students should discuss their options with their adviser before making decisions about whether or not to switch their graded class to an audited class or pass/not pass class.

“I don’t ever make that determination,” Rupp said. “I really encourage students to visit with their advisers about what is best for them. ... Certainly for some students that are transferring on or going into a graduate degree program needs to understand the effect of a pass/not pass versus a graded section.”

Rupp said starting with an adviser first is a good option for students wishing to change schedules, as adviser signatures are required for class schedule changes in the remainder of the semester.

“For the most part, adviser’s signatures are required so students might as well start out with their adviser, get their information down, and their adviser’s signature down and then go around and get their instructor’s signatures so that when they bring their slip in it’s fully filled out,” Rupp said. “We have a really great seasoned staff so they can get through here fairly quick. It’s making sure they understand what all the signatures are they need starting on Monday.”

New strain of tuberculosis untreatable Bacteria mutates, resists antibiotics

By Elizabeth.Polsdofer @iowastatedaily.com While the battle of the future of America’s healthcare is being waged in the political sphere, the battle for several million lives is being raged by doctors and scientists all over the world as a strain of multidrug-resistance tuberculous has emerged. This new strain is completely resistant to antibiotics and therefore is untreatable.

Ed Yu, a researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory and professor of physics at Iowa State, is working on discovering the mechanism for why tuberculous is now drug resistant.

“Nine million people are infected each year and also 2 million people will die because of that each year as well.

In terms of infectious disease this is second to HIV,” Yu said.

“We are just working on basic research in our lab. We try to understand the mechanism that interferes with the effectiveness of the drug.”

Normally, when an antibiotic enters the body, the tuberculosis bacteria would absorb the antibiotic. Like a rat eating rat poison, the bacteria would “eat” the antibiotic and, consequently, would die. The problem with the new strain of tuberculous is it now is able to spit out the rat poison, the antibiotics, when it knows what it has eaten.

“Bacteria have these things called pumps that exist that span the membrane and these pumps allow certain molecules to come in and they also allow certain molecules to go out,” said Guru Rao, professor and chair of the Roy J. Carver Department of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Molecular Biology. “Over the last 30-

Over the last 30-35 years, these bacteria have become resistant to drugs that have been treated by antibiotics.”

Guru Rao 35 years these bacteria have become resistant to various drugs that have been treated by antibiotics. The reason they have become resistant is possibly because these pumps have mutated.”

Rao and Yu said these mutations have occurred because of misuse of antibiotics.

Whenever a patient receives antibiotics, their doctor tells them to continue taking the full course of antibiotics, even if the patient feels better after a day or two. The patient feels better because the antibiotics have killed off most of the bacteria, but the problem lies in the remaining bacteria. The surviving bacteria need to be killed off; if they are left alive, they will evolve and come back with a vengeance.

“We misuse antibiotics, that’s one thing. The way tuberculous evolved into multidrug resistance is during the treatment we didn’t treat the patient well enough,” Yu said.

“Say they didn’t use enough dosage or during the treatment, it’s a long treatment that takes six months, for the first two months the patient feels better, and then they don’t use the antibiotics anymore.”

How does one begin to combat a bacteria that is resistant to every antibiotic known to man? That’s where Yu comes in. The focus of Yu’s work is to help understand the pumps of the tuberculous so scientists can create an antibiotic that the tuberculous bacteria cannot cough up.

Image courtesy of Edward Yu A new strain of tuberculosis has been shown to be resistant to many antibiotics, making it untreatable. Tuberculosis infects 9 million people each year.

“Shape matters in biology and bacteria have developed these sophisticated mechanisms for removing toxic materials from themselves,” Rao said. “Understanding how these molecules come together and looking at the [3D] structure allows us now to design new molecules that will allow us prevent the bacteria from becoming resistant.”

Rao said that although the

process to make antibiotics is a the research Yu does is groundbreaking.

“It’s a phenomenal piece of work. This is really important stuff. I think it’s a great credit to [Yu] and the institution that we have something like this happening here. [Yu] is remarkably understated about this whole thing,” Rao said.

“This is phenomenal stuff; this gives me goosebumps.”

Politics

File photo: Kelsey Kremer/Iowa State Daily Mitt Romney engages his audience during a campaign stop in Des Moines in August. The Republican National Convention is presumed to name Romney as its presidential candidate later this week in Tampa, Fla.

Hurricane Isaac delays convention

Romney, Obama maintain pace in national polls

By CNN Political Unit

TAMPA, Fla. — A shortened Republican National Convention needs to overcome a threatening hurricane, as well as Democratic attacks and lingering internal rifts, to seize the best remaining chance to show America the real Mitt Romney before the November election, top Republicans said Sunday.

GOP officials already canceled Monday’s planned first day of the convention because of Isaac, the tropical storm growing to hurricane strength in the Gulf of Mexico off Florida.

The now three-day convention starting Tuesday will still feature all of the major scheduled speeches, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus told CNN Sunday.

That will be plenty of time to nominate the former Massachusetts governor, “tell the Mitt Romney story” and show why he is the right person to fix problems left unresolved by what Republicans called the failed policies of President Barack Obama, Priebus added.

Sen. John McCain, the Republican nominee in 2008 who had the first day of his nominating convention in Minneapolis, shortened because of a hurricane then threatening the Gulf Coast, agreed that losing one night is manageable.

However, McCain told NBC on Sunday that “it could be harmful if we lose more than that.”

In a sign of how badly the party wants to hold the convention to showcase Romney, GOP officials have not ruled out extending it by a day to Friday if necessary, a Republican source told CNN. “We’re monitoring the situation, and we’ll respond accordingly,” convention press secretary Kyle Downey said when asked about a possible extension Romney and his wife attended church on Sunday. The opening hymn, with its chorus of “onward, ever onward,” reinforced the imagery of a tough struggle.

A new national survey illustrates the challenge Romney faces.

While the CNN/ORC International indicates a dead heat between Romney and President Barack Obama, new numbers released Sunday show that likely voters believe Obama is more in touch with

their needs.

“The public gives Obama a big advantage over Romney on questions on caring about people and understanding their concerns,” said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland, adding that Romney’s strong points — in the minds of poll respondents — were his managerial skills and having a clear plan to solve the country’s problems.

According to the poll, 53% of likely voters say Obama cares about the needs of people, with 39 percent feeling the same way about the former Massachusetts governor.

Obama leads by an equal margin when it comes to being in touch with the middle class, and six in 10 say Obama is in touch with the problems facing women today, with just over three in 10 feeling the same way about Romney.

Romney has a 48-44 percent margin over Obama on managing the government effectively and a 6-point advantage on having a clear plan for fixing the nation’s problems.

Both are within the survey’s margin of error.

“The challenge facing Romney at the GOP convention is to build on those managerial strengths while at the same trying to convince average Americans that he is in touch with their problems.

Obama’s personal characteristics, for the moment, outshine Romney’s,” Holland said.

On specific issues, the poll results show a similar dynamic — Obama is generally ahead on foreign policy and social issues while Romney is generally preferred on economic issues.

According to the survey, likely voters prefer Obama’s policies on gay and lesbian issues by 59 percent to 33 percent and choose Obama over Romney on abortion by 53 percent to 40 percent. The president also has a 51-44 percent advantage over Romney on foreign policy and a 50-43 percent margin on terrorism.

The candidates were statistically even on the economy, with Romney’s 50-46 percent advantage within the survey’s margin of error, and Romney holds a 10-point advantage on handling the federal deficit.

Priebus said Sunday that delaying the start of the convention was “the right thing to do,” adding that that most of Monday’s planned events would be folded into the remainder of the week’s schedule.

“Everything is going to be back to normal on Tuesday,” Priebus said, adding that some speeches might be shorter than originally planned.

The RNC chairman will open the convention on Monday, then quickly declare it in recess until the full proceedings begin on Tuesday afternoon, with Romney’s formal nomination expected a few hours later, organizers said. Romney will close the convention with his acceptance speech on Thursday night, which was the original plan.

On Sunday talk shows, Republicans said the convention must focus on Romney’s character and show how he can lead the nation to economic prosperity, which is the top issue with voters.

By Dan.MacKenzie @iowastatedaily.com More than 200 people were lined up in the rain Saturday at the Story County Democratic headquarters in Ames for tickets to see President Barack Obama up close during his visit to Iowa State’s campus next week.

The crowd moved rather quickly though the small building, with the help of many volunteers. A handful of volunteers were also moving through the lines with clipboards helping people register to vote and encouraging them to vote early.

Some of the excited supporters were on the scene hours before the doors were even set to open at noon, including several ISU students at the head of the line.

Kun Qian, junior in computer science, said he was excited for a chance to hear the president speak even though he will be unable to vote in the election. He also said hearing the president was cutting into his schedule, so he may have to skip class.

“Meeting the president is more attractive to me than class at this point” Qian said.

He is hoping to get a photo op with the president if he can

manage it.

Kelsie Miller, senior in kinesiology and health; Lydia Levinson, graduate student in community and regional planning; and Kate Moore, senior in art and design were lined up by 8:30 a.m. to make sure they got a ticket. All three said that they were Obama supporters, and two of them had seen him speak before.

Levinson said she had seen the president speak on several occasions, and heard the same message each time. She said this time she was really hoping he would change up his speech a bit, or at least touch on energy policy and ethanol. Moore said

she just wants to hear Obama rip on the Hawkeyes.

Many people in the crowd were Ames citizens, just hoping for a chance to hear Obama.

Ames resident Irving Melcer, 80, said he was hoping to hear Obama touch on Medicare and health insurance. He said Obama is being too soft on his opponent, “He needs to stop being a nice guy and lower the boom,” Melcer said.

Obama is scheduled to speak at noon Tuesday. People will have access to Central Campus — where he will be speaking — at 10:30 a.m.

Tickets were also available in the Memorial Union.

Wiggins up for re-election

By David.Bartholomew @iowastatedaily.com The conservative startup group Iowans for Freedom, led by social conservative activist Bob Vander Plaats, has moved forward with its campaign to remove Justice David Wiggins from the Iowa Supreme Court.

The campaign is seen as retribution for Wiggins’ ruling in the famous 2009 case Varnum v. Brien, which legalized samesex marriage in Iowa.

Backing Vander Plaats — who is also president of The Family Leader, a social conservative political organization — is the National Organization for Marriage, which pledged to match up to $100,000 in contributions these last two weeks in the campaign to remove Wiggins.

“We launched a campaign against Wiggins because he legislated from the bench,” Vander Plaats said. “He attempted to change the constitution from the bench and now he is up for election and we think he should be held accountable for his actions.”

Vander Plaats’ outrage stems from his group’s belief that marriage is defined as between one man and one woman and that Justice Wiggins did not interpret the Iowa Constitution correctly when he and his other colleagues at the time made their landmark

2009 decision.

Furthermore, this is not the first time this has happened to Iowa Supreme Court justices.

In 2010, a similar campaign was made against Justices Marsha Ternus, David Baker and Michael Streit who were up for a retention vote after they also ruled in favor of same-sex marriage.

The 2010 campaign brought out a strong flood of social conservative voters to the polls and successfully removed all three justices.

Now Wiggins, who is also on the ballot with three other justices, but the only one who remains from the 2009 decision, is facing the exact same fight. What’s more, Wiggins was also given the second-lowest rating of 63.3 percent by the Iowa State Bar Association, which surveyed lawyers across the state on their opinions of judges they have appeared before. Wiggins’ 2009 ruling may have impacted the low rating, but it is still remains much higher than opinion polls of other branches of the government.

“Wiggins is seen as arrogant, lazy and controversial by his colleagues,” Vander Plaats said. “Anyone with a rating of a D- is not worthy of serving on the Iowa Supreme Court.

Wiggins’ peers rank much higher than him.”

Warren Blumenfeld, asso-

ciate professot of curriculum and instruction, who teaches such classes as Queer Studies at Iowa State and who himself is also gay, takes offense to the targeted campaign against Wiggins.

“It’s intimidation of the judicial process,” Blumenfeld said. “We should have the federal model and have judges there for life so they are free to rule on the merits of the case and disregard the politics.”

Blumenfeld also expressed concern about the message this campaign sends to young people and minority groups.

“I’m also scared of the message this sends to young people,” he said. “It condones and justifies the bullying of people who are different. ... Because of the actions of groups like Vander Plaats’ we are sending the message of which group it is okay to marginalize. I refuse to let him use our bodies as stepping stones for his political ambitions.”

Backing Wiggins is the Iowa Democratic Party and groups like Justice Not Politics, which campaigns to keep politics out of judicial decision making.

However, they have a steep hill to climb and are going to face lots of money and manpower on the side opposing Wiggins.

The retention election will take place Nov. 6.

GO EAST

By Ian Laughead ISD Style editor

It’s not every day one is offered an all-expenses-paid trip halfway across the world, but this summer that’s just what happened to Rachel Dolphin, senior in apparel merchandising, design and production, and Elena Karpova, associate professor of apparel, events and hospitality management.

The two were invited to the Second China International Sand Beach and Swimsuit Culture Exposition, a promotional swimwear event and design competition in Huludao, China, the world capital of swimwear production, according to Karpova.

Dolphin was invited to compete after instructors saw her work in a swimsuit design project from the spring semester.

“I was excited about the opportunity,”

Dolphin said, “and I told [my instructor] I was very much interested in submitting my work.”

She was able to see her swimsuit designs — which only existed on paper in Ames — come to life.

“We had dress rehearsal all day … which consisted of me picking three of my designs of the five produced to be shown within the competition,” Dolphin said.

After her line had been produced, the event started with professional designers’ runway presentations and dancers and finally, the design competition itself.

Karpova, who participated as a judge, said the event was very “professional,” with even “lamps and an interpreter” at the judging table, where she ranked each of the collections out of 10 points.

Most of the 37 designers involved were Chinese, but other international guests included students from the United

Kingdom and Hong Kong. Iowa State was the only school represented from the United States.

Karpova, who teaches global issues relating to apparel, was able to bring her expertise to her judging, was impressed with the contrasts between the countries.

“The Western aesthetic is different from the Chinese aesthetic,” Karpova said. “China focuses on the Chinese market, and the U.S. focuses on the U.S. market, but students need to be aware there’s not just one market. What works here might not work there.”

The judges gave out several awards, one of which being a National Memorial Award given to Dolphin for her collection, but her real souvenir was less tangible.

“It was amazing being able to share an interest and find commonality with people who grew up in completely different cultures than my own,” Dolphin said.

Tossable trends

Falling out:

The newest looks this season

By Katie Henry ISD Style writer Summer is always hard to let go. Abandoning carefree lifestyles for responsibility is never easy, and letting go of summer trends is going to be hard on everyone. But we must bite the bullet and pack away a few things that won’t look as good in September as they did in July.

By Anna Mackin ISD Style Writer It’s that time of the year again. Classes are starting and the new trends are approaching. Whether it’s your first time on campus or your last, it’s time to change out of your sweats for a perfect look that suits your college lifestyle. The easy trends this fall can easily be incorporated when you have just five minutes to roll out of bed and be out the door to class. (You’ll even have time to grab that much-needed cup of coffee.)

Crop Tops

What better way to show off your tan than a fun colored crop top? Crop tops were the easiest of summer trends. Whether you were running errands or a enjoying a night out with your friends, they could be dressed up or dressed down. Soon the leaves will start changing and the temperatures will get colder, and unless we have another 80-degree day in October, crop tops are going to have to stay in the closet until next summer.

Bleached Shorts

There’s no fashion throwback quite like bleached shorts. Personally, I think it’s rare to find somebody who can channel this look from the ‘80s, so maybe it’s time for them to go back into hiding. Regardless of if you look good in them or not, fall is just not the time. It’s time to pack them up.

White Pants

Unlike these other trends, white pants are a spring and summer classic and will always be in style. However, unless you can rock the white in winter look, white pants are going to have to say goodbye until Easter.

Showing up to class in what you wore to bed isn’t going to impress your professors, but on the flip side, dressing over-the-top on your second week of freshman year isn’t exactly going to help you fit in. The real collegiate style is the perfect mixture of comfort while keeping up to date with the current trends and defining your Photo courtesy of Macy’s personal style.

A major trend this fall is faux leather. This look can easily be incorporated into your style because it can be matched with anything. This fabric is also great for warmth on those cold fall days and can be layered with your favorite accessories. For you

legging lovers, having a pair of faux leather leggings will dress up your style while keeping that preferred comfort level for long hours at the library. Try matching these with a peplum or simple print top for that complete look for this fall.

You ROTC guys are in luck and even are instant style icons for this season.

Military and menswear are big influences on these fall trends. A lazy boyfriend pant matched with a blazer or military jacket will keep any gender looking sharp and keeping warm for those long walks to class.

The simplest trend for this season is geometric prints. You can throw on a printed top over your favorite jean, a printed scarf to go with those letter Wednesday shirts, or even some geometric accessories for your basic staple top. The possibilities with this look are endless.

In the two out of five minutes you have to put your outfit together while running out the door, take a second to reconsider what you’re putting on. An effortless attempt doesn’t have to mean wearing your pajamas, rather it can be throwing together easy, comfortable pieces to match today’s trends.

Editorial

Find your adventure at Iowa State Steve King, the man who the odds suggest will be Ames’ next representative to the U.S. House of Representatives due to recent redistricting, has stepped in it again.

Speaking at a town hall meeting up in Le Mars a few days ago, King said Iowa State’s many multicultural groups trend towards victimization, in which their members “feel sorry for themselves.” Continuing, Steve then linked these groups to Communists.

You can judge the merit of Steve King’s remarks for yourself, however the congressman’s statements accidentally highlight an important aspect of ISU culture that adds vitality to student life here: The sheer diversity and quantity of student organizations available to engage and develop everyone’s passions, and maybe help students discover some new ones — or perhaps more importantly, learn what one doesn’t like.

Human beings are creatures of habit; we like what we know. The routine makes us feel comfortable, and that comfort creates a sense of safety and contentment — even happiness.

But invariably, humans are also creatures of adventure and risk.

We might not always want a new challenge, but coming out on the other side of a new thing typically exhilarates us and produces within us a new passion for life. This new can be anything, from trying a new food to skydiving.

Taking a class outside one’s major or joining a new student group can also be one of those things.

College is supposed to be a time of personal growth and refinement. As has been said in these pages before, it is in college where you are to become the person you’re to be for the rest of your life. And as most of us only come here once in our lives, we have a truly unique opportunity to seize here that we will never be able to relive again.

According to the Office of the Registrar, the 2012-13 ISU course catalog offers more than 100 undergraduate majors, even more minors and nearly 5,000 courses.

Furthermore, there are over 800 student clubs organizations running the gamut from organic farming to fencing, from sailing to skeet shooting.

Imagine all the potential combinations and intellectual possibilities. Nowhere else do you have such opportunity.

As hard as the university is trying to turn you into a cog in the national economic wheel, there is still room in most majors to explore other fields and interests. Flip through the course catalog. And next Wednesday, stop by the Memorial Union from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and visit ClubFest.

Choose your adventure indeed.

But choose and do, before these moments pass and it’s too late.

Let’s talk about doughnuts Pastry holes make metaphors for Medicare

A

ctually, let’s talk about the doughnut holes in Medicare.

The aptly-named doughnut hole in Medicare has been a huge source of contention between the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates as of late, and it’s been a major point of concern for beneficiaries of Medicare for longer. After seeing Mitt Romney and Barack Obama’s ads and rhetoric regarding Medicare, I had to wonder: What’s going on with Medicare and its doughnut hole?

On July 30, 1965, Medicare was signed into law as part of President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society, and 19 million seniors were enrolled in the program. Today, 47 million senior and disabled American citizens receive the advantages of being Medicare beneficiaries.

While Medicare is a complicated matter, it is best conceptualized as such: Part A is hospital insurance; Part B is medical insurance; Part C is private health plans; and Part D is prescription drug coverage. The doughnut hole appears in Part D because it is where there is a gap in coverage.

Medicare and the beneficiary’s copayment cover prescription drugs by a total of up to about $2,800 each year. After that $2,800 total has been reached, the beneficiary is on their own to pay for their prescription drugs.

Then, once the total amount has surpassed about $4,500, the beneficiary’s insurance kicks in again to cover the costs. This gap in coverage age where recipients have to pay out-of-pocket for their prescription drugs is the doughnut hole.

By Monica.Leier @iowastatedaily.com Luckily for Medicare beneficiaries’ health and financial security, the 2010 Affordable Care Act now allows them to receive discounts on both brandname and generic prescriptions.

Requirements that Medicare funding go directly to beneficiaries instead of third parties mean the donut hole will close by 2020.

In just eight years, our grandparents will have a decadent, chocolate-iced custard-filled doughnut instead of the overpriced glazed doughnut they’ve been stuck with since 2003.

Just when beneficiaries are finally getting a taste of the real deal — the best donut they have ever been offered — the donut hole is in danger of being reverted back

to the way it was before the inception of the Affordable Care Act. The presidential ads on television are evident of this.

A recent attack ad from the Romney camp says: “Obama has cut $716 billion from Medicare” to “pay for Obamacare.” This assertion is completely and factually unsound. In reality, the $716 billion Obama was supposedly robbing seniors and the disabled of is actually a cut in Medicare’s projected rate of growth over the next 10 years. Furthermore, increase in cost of Medicare coverage has been funding federal subsidies to drug corporations.

The Congressional Budget Office reported that eliminating these subsidies would save taxpayers $100 billion over the next decade.

According to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, this type of wasteful spending

is projected to make Medicare go bankrupt 17 months sooner than if the subsidies did not exist.

The Affordable Care Act instead redirects the $716 billion and gives it back to the beneficiaries in the form of things like cancer screening and other preventative care without having to co-pay.

Dirk Deam, senior lecturer of political science at Iowa State, reasoned the Romney commercial should cue viewers to give a second thought as to what they’re hearing. “The idea that the Democratic Party doesn’t support Medicare, which it invented, is ludicrous.”

Likewise, Deam makes the very logical argument that there is a major difference between pulling funds from providers and pulling funds from beneficiaries. Pulling funds from beneficiaries is most certainly an issue about which people can be upset. After all, it’s their money that funds subsidies, the benefits of which they will never see because they simply do not exist (studies show that quality of care does not increase from subsidizing health care corporations).

Pulling funds from providers in order to improve the quality of life for beneficiaries? This should be a no-brainer.

Next time a campaign team wants to target your grandmother (and you, since you’ve been paying for Medicare since your first job) with political ads that have more than a few sprinkles of “truths” to them, do a little research. If you’ve paid for the whole doughnut, you’re going to want to eat the whole thing and not just the ends.

Why is the U.S. so self-centered?

Americans are unaware of global news, issues

W

ith the spectacular end to the Olympics we also notice a decline in how much international affairs are covered in American news media. Even during the games, I heard about non-American competitors only when they were strong contenders for a medal. Looking over various foreign (mainly French) newspapers and media, such as Le Monde, it seems apparent just how in tune other countries are to U.S. affairs.

I was reading a French newspaper a few days ago, and found it had a full two-page story on Romney’s vice presidential pick. The drought across the Midwest made Swiss news as well. There are sections daily in Le Monde about the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

During my French classes, professors ask what’s happening in the news in France, and there is hardly ever an answer, because nobody ever really knows without specifically looking.

The only times that U.S. new media covers international affairs is during controversial elections, devastating disasters, violence and

By Shannon.Lange @iowastatedaily.com either the Summer or Winter Olympics.

I have learned through talking to friends who live outside the United States they hear about U.S. news on a fairly regular basis, particularly presidential elections. Not only do they follow our political news, some are shocked by how politics work in the United States when compared to European countries. Speaking with visiting French friends gave me an interesting insight as to how different our cultures truly are. They found it fairly amazing that the political ads here could be so aggressive.

This works the same for Canada: we don’t hear what is happening within their country, despite the fact it is our northern neighbor.

International news plays a very large role in how decisions are made. We see this being especially true with the varying situations in the Middle East; everyday there is an update of what has happened and what is being planned or has been done. I feel that if current events, political or social, were more known

by Americans, tolerance for people who are “different” would be higher. As it is, looking at large newspapers shows major headlines for

international affairs, as do sites like Google News. With the advancements of technology, the world has become almost completely interconnected. We can talk to people across the globe on the phone or on Skype. It feels as important to know what’s happening in places that loved ones live in or plan to visit as it does to hear from your hometown.

Some people will disagree and say those countries choose to follow the news of the United States and set us as an example for their political and social ideals. I have to disagree with this argument, as it has always been some of the larger European cities that have lead the way, namely in subjects such as fashion.

If other countries looked to the United States as an example of their ideals, much more of the world would have similar political battles, economic crises, and diplomatic powers.

It is my opinion that if they look upon our behavior as a country, it may be to help show our problems in comparison to what the problems of the country may be, and act as an aide to finding a solution before it becomes worse.

Destination Iowa State provides tools for success

New students find boost in confidence

S

tarting your adventure as a freshman in college is one of the scariest, nerve-racking, most intimidating yet immensely exciting milestones you may ever reach.

It’s time to grow up, move out, set goals and prepare yourself for an education that is supposed to reflect what you want to do with the rest of your life. Did I mention this milestone was intimidating? Most incoming freshmen are 18, or fast approaching, and that number means big things. They are legally adults now, meaning the pressure to be mature, make responsible decisions, take care of themselves and keep their grades in tact is in full force.

This pressure is enough to turn any incoming freshmen running straight back home to the comfort of their parents and much less responsibility.

At Iowa State, we take the first few days of freshman life on campus very seriously. The Department of Residence understands the stress and pressure bestowed upon young teenagers who have just left home for the first time. And from that understanding comes a program that has been put in place to calm the nerves and ease the stress of first year students. That program is Destination Iowa State, and it is much more than some coddling fest for freshmen.

If traveling to a foreign country

By Mackenzie.Nading @iowastatedaily.com where everyone speaks a different language and has different customs seems scary to you, coming to Iowa State is that same experience for a freshman.

Sound frightening? Welcome to a freshman’s reality, where Iowa State is the foreign country and the locals are the upperclassmen. I’m sure most can remember your freshmen year without too much difficulty. If yours was anything like mine, it was an awesome year full of new friends, a brand new social life, some classes thrown in here and there, and a lot of fun always present wherever you went.

However, my experience wasn’t always a walk in the park. The day I had to leave my parents was one of the scariest things I had ever done.

All of a sudden I was stuck on a campus in which I had no idea where anything was located. I knew there was some kind of a bus called a CyRide, but I couldn’t read one of the maps to save my life. And coming from a graduating class of 43, it was safe to say I didn’t have hardly any allies on my side when I moved in. If it wasn’t for the comfort of Destination Iowa State, I would have been running for the hills.

Partaking in Destination Iowa State gave me confidence to conquer my first day of classes without stress and confusion. Sure, they gave us matching backpacks and made us stick together in groups, but to be perfectly honest, after being thrown into a new world of stress and confusion, I was grateful for that elementary school like structure.

When that fateful Monday rolled around and classes finally began I was able to find all of mine without having my nose stuck in a map. I knew how to board, pull the cord and successfully exit the CyRide, which is more than I can say for many people who ride the bus today. I knew to walk on the right side of the sidewalk because you will get shoved off if you try to take up the left side. When football games came I could partake in the cheers and sing the fight song, which may seem like a childish thing to teach a large group of students packed into Hilton Coliseum, but it means the world to a new student feel like you actually belong in the student section at Jack Trice on game day.

These were all helpful to my first few weeks as an ISU student, but the thing Destination Iowa State taught me the most, was that Iowa State cared I was a new student and they wanted me to succeed. With a record enrollment this year of over 31,000 students, it’s all too easy for freshmen to feel like just another number and that their experience here doesn’t matter.

I want every incoming student to

love this university as much as I do, and if it wasn’t for a successful freshman year, I wouldn’t have as much pride in Iowa State as I do now. First impressions are truly everything, and if Iowa State gave a first impression to freshmen that said it could care less about their first day, week or year, how successful do you think Iowa State would be? I bet we wouldn’t be the biggest university in the state of Iowa, that’s for sure.

So just because Destination Iowa State gives out matching shirts, bags, and lanyards, doesn’t mean it can be written it off as a glorified daycare for freshmen. It’s a place students

come to feel welcome, to feel like they belong, and to instill the confidence in them that they can be stripped of when they leave home for the first time.

The definition of a nation is a large body of people, associated with a particular territory, which is sufficiently conscious of its unity. If we want to keep this cyclone nation alive, we have to keep unity a part of the combination, and that unity starts with Destionation Iowa State.

Letter to the editor

‘Proper attire’ for athletes depends on intent of workout I was recently paging through the issue of “What You Need to Know,” when I came across a picture of myself and a teammate of mine. Not only was there a picture of us, but it was also a photo of us running on the indoor track in our spandex and sports bras. While the fact that this particular picture was in the paper is not entirely the issue, the problem was the picture’s use.

We are both members or the ISU crosscountry and track team and on the day that picture was taken, we happened to be doing a workout on the indoor track. The picture of us

Danielle Stack is a senior in Dietetics. was used to demonstrate students on “what NOT to do.” The caption discussed that working out in proper attire will make your workout easier, and that while working out at any of the recreation places, we should “keep it classy.”

Sports bras are not allowed at any of the recreation buildings, apparently.

While I completely agree with this, on days we are doing continuous reps on the indoor track during our practice time, I believe sports

bras can be proper attire. Your use of the picture was insulting to me and my teammates. Not once was it mentioned we were athletes doing a hard workout during our practice time. You used this photo of us in a condescending tone and made us look bad.

The ISU track and cross-country team considers themselves to be a high-class team, and we try our best to set a good example for others inside the classroom and on the track/ course. Your issue of “What You Need to Know” was a good issue and very informative I believe, but I was so disappointed to see a finger pointed

at me, when I feel I had done nothing wrong.

Further more, do you really need a picture of girls in sports bras as visual evidence of what you shouldn’t do at the rec?

I think we all know what inappropriate attire is and calling more attention to it seems a bit over the top. When we are done with our workouts, we put shirts back on. I don’t walk around the rec in little to nothing hoping to make a scene.

If I am going to be noticed, I sure as heck don’t want to be noticed for the revealing clothing I am wearing.

Iowa State keeps pace in the facility ‘arms race’

By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com The landscape of college athletics is quickly changing, and Iowa State has experienced it firsthand as a member of the Big 12 Conference.

There has been conference realignment and there have been huge television deals. The Big 12 has been involved in both.

In the past year, the conference has seen Missouri and Texas A&M depart and has replaced the institutions with Texas Christian and West Virginia.

Now the Big 12 is working on a grant of rights for a 13-year television deal reportedly worth more than $2.6 billion.

And don’t forget about the facility battle among the schools.

“There’s no question that there’s a facilities arms race,” said new Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby during a recent stop in Ames. “I think it’s a way that institutions can fall behind pretty quickly.”

Athletic programs now have little choice but to

make an effort to be a part of that race. Bowlsby said if they do not make that attempt, they will likely fall behind.

“I think probably the best way I could characterize it is the only thing worse than being in the arms race is not being in the arms race,” Bowlsby said. “[If you aren’t] you find that you have trouble attracting and retaining coaches, you have trouble recruiting, you have trouble doing the developmental work that’s required.”

Iowa State has remained heavily involved with the battle. During the past seven years under Athletic Director Jamie Pollard, Iowa State has invested $100 million in new facilities and enhancements of the department’s old ones.

This fall, the university will unveil two newly completed facilities including the Cyclone Sports Complex for soccer, softball and track and field, and the football training facility for coach Paul Rhoads and his team to utilize.

Tank, players aim for repeat success

By Brian Freda Daily correspondent After the loss of graduate Nate McCoy, a 2012 All-American and Iowa State’s 2012 Male Athlete of the Year, the men’s golf team is ready to rebuild and push toward a

championship.

With seven returning players, the team has the experience needed to bring wins home from the course.

Among the returning players is Sam Daley, a sophomore from Australia whose stroke average ranked third on the team last year.

Following his freshman season, Daley has been practicing on pieces still missing from his game.

“Most is my putting and wedge game,” Daley said. “If I could start putting well, then I’d be able to place better in the tournaments. I’d like to win an event or more and have at least five

top ten [finishes].”

Also returning is sophomore Scott Fernandez, who set a record last year with the best rookie season in ISU history.

Pollard said the decision to act now was two-fold.

“First, and foremost, we felt there was a need to upgrade our current football facilities to help us more efficiently train and develop our football student-athletes and to assist our coaches in recruiting the best possible student-athletes to Iowa State,” Pollard said.

“Secondly, we wanted to demonstrate to Coach Rhoads that we are committed to assisting him in developing a championshiplevel program.”

Rhoads, in three years at Iowa State, has exceeded expectations for the program.

The team has won 18 games in his three seasons at the helm and has appeared in two bowl games.

Editor: Jake Calhoun | sports@iowastatedaily.com | 515.294.2003

That production has played a large role in the team’s ability to get a new facility. The Iowa Board of Regents approved the 60,000-square foot, two-story building in June 2011.

“I think it’s Jamie’s vision coupled with Coach Rhoads’ desire to have a practice facility attached to our indoor football training complex that is a one-stop for our student-athletes to give them everything they need to compete,” said Chris Jorgensen, senior associate athletic director of facilities, planning and management.

Despite the need for approval by the Board of Regents, the project will be funded solely by the athletic department. Jorgensen said more than $5.5 million has come from donations directly to the project.

The rest of the $20.6 million for the project is from operating revenues in the athletic department, which include ticket sales and income from television deals.

The new facility will likely play a key role in recruiting new

student-athletes down the road. Jorgensen said it is key to keep up with fellow schools in the Midwest.

“I don’t think you can ever measure [the value],” Jorgensen said. “It’s important because student-athletes, as they compare institutions within the region and within our conference, they’re looking at a lot of factors, with facilities being one of those.”

The Cyclones are expected to move into the new facility sometime in October, not long after the 2012 season begins. The team’s old facilities at the Jacobson and Olsen buildings will then be utilized by the softball, soccer, tennis and golf programs.

“I think that the best thing a conference can have is unbelievably good rivalries every time two conference teams take the field against one another,” Bowlsby said.

“You don’t want to fall behind. There’s been an unbelievable proliferation of facilities and I expect it will probably continue.”

Wrestling facility enhancements Another facility that has gone widely unnoticed will benefit the ISU wrestling team.

For several years, the ISU wrestling team has practiced and trained on the second floor of the Lied Recreation Athletic Center. The wrestling room has long had three mats, but this summer remodeling began on the area.

Chris Jorgensen said the estimated $700,000 project will add a fourth mat to the room to go along with other upgrades.

“We’ve been looking at several options over a period of time as to where we could grow our wrestling facility so they could add a fourth mat, which we felt was necessary for them,” Jorgensen said. “After we were able to free up some space previously occupied by our athletic training facilities over at Lied Rec Center, that allowed us to keep wrestling where they’re at.”

The upgrades are expected to be complete this fall, and they will keep the wrestling team in Lied for some time to come.

“We anticipate wrestling will be at Lied Rec Center on the second floor for a number of years,” Jorgensen said.

“Scott Fernandez and Sam Daley are poised to have great years,” said assistant coach Patrick Datz.

Now with experience under their belts at the collegiate level, the two will be expected to lead the team through the season.

Coach Andrew Tank is also confident about the upcoming season.

In addition to making im-

provements from last year, another goal will be to return to the NCAA tournament and regional finals.

A captain of Minnesota’s 2002 NCAA championship team, Tank sees similarities between his former team and this ISU golf program.

“You’ve got to have a group of guys that’s committed to working hard,” Tank said.

Working on player development, Tank said he plans to continue to bring techniques used by his former coach, Brad James.

“I’ve kind of used that same

When Jamie Pollard arrived as athletic director in 2005, Iowa State was in need of facility upgrades. Pollard made it one of his goals to upgrade the program’s offering, and in the past seven years the athletic department has spent $100 million on: Fan amenities ($40 million)* Football Training Facility ($20.6 million) Cyclone Sports Complex ($13 million) Hixon Lied Academic Center ($10 million) Sukup Basketball Complex ($8 million) Other ($8.4 million) * fan amenities include: video boards, concourses, premium seating, concessions, etc.

coaching style at Iowa State,” Tank said.

“Focusing on the long-term development of the guys in the classroom, weight room and the course.”

He hopes to give his players a “long-term view of their game.”

Looking forward to the Northern Intercollegiate, the team will meet to set goals this week.

“Making a national championship is always a massive [goal],” Daley said.

Cross-Country Expectations are set high for this year’s team

By Emily.Hejlik @iowastatedaily.com The ISU men’s cross-country team is working towards putting their program back on the map this coming season.

“I’m very excited for this year, we have a good chance to surprise some people,” said senior Charlie Paul.

“Any time you get the chance to put the program back in the spotlight is a special opportunity.”

Last year ended in disappointment as the men failed to qualify for nationals, finishing sixth at regional finals.

The team was made up of young, inexperienced runners a season ago, with the only senior being Rico Loy, who has completed his cross-country eligibility.

One source of leadership will come from Paul, the lone senior this year.

“I fill the leadership role without consciously knowing it,” Paul said.

“I am trying to be the best example inside and outside of practice and I am willing to do anything to help the team be successful. Everyone will help in a different capacity when it comes to being a leader.”

Another runner looked upon for guidance this year will be junior Nick Schulze.

“We have a lot of different leaders on this team, even though we are young,” Schulze said.

“I look to lead by living the lifestyle, doing things the right way whether that’s in the training room or in practice. We have a better system in place now where everyone hangs out, which helps build camaraderie and leadership.”

Even with such a young squad, the team feels the need to succeed.

“Coach always talks about having a sense of urgency and I’ve really taken that to heart,” Schulze said. “There have been times I didn’t think I would continue to run anymore because of my injuries. I have a new appreciation and even though the majority of our team are underclassmen, the time to succeed is now.”

Qualifying for nationals and making top three in their conference are a few of the many goals the team hopes to accomplish this year.

“We have a team that is capable of making big improvements,” Hartke said. “So many guys are in great shape and the depth is there. We are very underrated and probably have 16-18

Team splits tournament, prepares for Iowa

By Dan.Cole @iowastatedaily.com The ISU women’s soccer team split its games in Lincoln, Neb., this past weekend, defeating New Mexico on Friday and falling to No. 16 Virginia Tech on Sunday.

The Cyclones (3-1) are using these games as preparation for their game against rival University of Iowa this coming Friday.

The Cyclones prevailed 1-0 against New Mexico (0-2-1) on Friday evening, marking the second time in program history that the team has started a season 3-0.

Meredith Skitt, junior in kinesiology and health, scored the lone goal for the Cyclones in the 85th minute of the game. The goal was the second of Skitt’s career, both having come in game-winning fashion.

Despite the Friday’s victory, the Cyclones did not feel as though they played at their

full potential.

“We could’ve definitely played better,” said Emily Goldstein, junior in advertising, “but the fact that we were able to get the result that we wanted — when we weren’t playing as well — was really good for us.”

Volleyball

Sunday’s loss to No. 16 Virginia Tech Hokies (4-0) was the first defeat of the season for the Cyclones.

The Hokies scored at the 25:51 mark and hung on for the 1-0 victory. The goal scored against the Virginia Tech Hokies was the first that

the Cyclones’ defense has achieved so far this season.

However, the Hokies outscored the Cyclones 9-4 on Sunday, which marked the first time the Cyclones have failed to score a goal in eight contests, dating back to last October.

“If we played them again, I think it could be a totally different game,” Goldstein said.

“We left the field knowing that we gave everything that we could, and I don’t think that Virginia Tech is going to want to play us again.”

By winning Friday’s match against the Hokies, the Cyclone soccer team displayed their capability of competing with some of the top teams in the nation. The Cyclones can take pride in this fact and will use it to build future confidence.

“With today’s game, we showed that we have a lot of fight in us,” said ISU’s Brittany Morgan, junior in marketing.

“We’re capable of hanging with really good teams.”

The Cyclones’ next soccer match is Friday against the Iowa Hawkeyes (3-0), as part of the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series.

The Hawkeyes have a solid start this season, winning all of their first three contests with a

combined score of 12-0.

“That’s going to be a big game for us,” Goldstein said.

“We can take the things that we did well this weekend, and we can learn from the things we did wrong, and then we just move forward with that and prepare for Iowa this weekend.”

Cyclones begin season with Lady Vol Classic

By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com

File photo: Iowa State Daily

ISU volleyball coach Christy Johnson-Lynch knew her team’s first weekend of action would be difficult.

Facing No. 12 Florida State, No. 15 Tennessee and Cincinnati in a two-day span, the Cyclones started their season with a difficult stretch at the Comcast Lady Vol Classic.

It was deja vu for the No. 10 ISU volleyball team Friday evening as it opened its season with a victory against Cincinnati for a second consecutive season.

After beating the Bearcats 3-1 to open the 2011 season, the

Cyclones (1-2, 0-0 Big 12) knocked off Cincinnati (0-3, 0-0 Big East) in straight sets Friday, 25-23, 2518 and 25-20 to open the 2012 season.

Three of the team’s seven freshmen saw playing time in the three sets, including right side Mackenzie Bigbee, setter and outside hitter Andie Malloy and libero Caitlin Nolan.

Bigbee provided the biggest spark, contributing 11 kills in 20 attempts.

The team’s second two matches of the tournament would come against two Top-15 teams and within a 24-hour period. Both matches would take five sets to de-

termine a winner.

In a rematch from the 2011 Elite Eight, Iowa State fell to Florida State (3-0, 0-0 ACC) in five sets Saturday morning, just as the team did last December in the NCAA tournament.

Trailing 20-17 in the fourth set against the Seminoles, the Cyclones went on a run to win 2725, forcing a fifth set.

Florida State began the fifth set on a 6-0 run however, and Iowa State could not fight back, losing the set 15-11 and its first match of the season.

Later in the evening, Iowa State fell to No. 15 Tennessee (2-1) in five sets in the Lady Vols’ home arena.

The Cyclones again fell behind 5-1 early in the fifth set and went on to lose it 15-4.

Errors played a large role in the team’s two losses Saturday as the Cyclones committed 51 errors in their matches with Florida State and Tennessee.

Senior setter Alison Landwehr made a strong impact on the weekend for the Cyclones, contributing 136 assists in the three matches, and true freshman Mackenzie Bigbee contributed a team-high 37 kills.

Iowa State will have the week off before returning to the court Friday and Saturday against Illinois in Champaign, Ill.
