ROTC cadets will train Girl Scouts
Religion
Army ROTC cadets will travel to Camp Sacajawea in Boone on Saturday to help train Girl Scouts in a few basic skills. The event will run from 1 to 5 p.m., and 20 cadets will participate. The cadets will teach the Girl Scouts about first aid, land navigation, and what to do if they happen to get lost. The cadets volunteered with the event last year and were asked to come back for a second after making a positive impact last year. The event is an annual campout for Girl Scout troops from the area. There will be approximately 55 Girl Scouts from the service unit, some of whom will stay the night at Camp Sacajawea. There will be an opening and closing flag ceremony, dinner, and campfire sing along. During the day the girls will participate in four rotations. One is led by JAX, a local sporting goods store. They will also learn how to make soda can sundials and eclairs over the fire. The Army ROTC cadets will lead the two other rotations. Carly McKinney Daily Staff Writer

His solution is to think innovation. He cited exploiting advantages through innovation, capitol and know-how. This combination still exists in the U.S., and it’s the ad-
vantage it retains, especially regarding university investment and innovation. “We talked about innovation being critically important,� he said. “It implies working outside of the box, and if you work inside the box, you’ll keep getting the same result.� Part of Subbaswamy’s plan for innovation is to reach out to other universities abroad in order to keep up with globalization. “The challenge in the ongoing world, when so many

With the start of the new school year, football season and weekend parties, one of the main concerns for many underage students is how they can get their hands on alcohol. To solve this predicament, many resort to asking upperclassmen they know to supply their liquid dreams. But for a select few, this is too much of a hassle. With a good fake ID, underage students can usually purchase alcohol at many liquor stores undetected and potentially test the waters at the local bars. But with a renewed focus from law enforcement on minimizing the use of fake IDs, there is talk that this could be a dying breed of collegiate thuggery. The Iowa Department of Transportation recently released a news report about the serious consequences that come with
recent crackdown efforts show they have been successful, so far. According to Iowa DOT, a recent bust in Cedar Falls led to the arrest of two individuals and the seizure of 24 fake licenses. On top of that, more than 1,700 fake IDs, many of which were headed for Iowa universities, have been captured in the Chicago area since the beginning of 2011. “Falsifying a driver’s license is a serious misdemeanor,� said Lt. Elliott Florer of the ISU Police Department. “First offenses can carry up to a year in jail and a heavy fine. Second offenses can be much worse.� A recent issue has been that many students who wish to purchase fake IDs have resorted to using the Internet, which only expands the problem. The
