With the end of September here again, so too is ISU AfterDark.

The free event will be from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m Friday in the Memorial Union and is sponsored by the Stuadent Activites Center.

According to the center’s website, ISU AfterDark provides students with “great late night activities on Friday nights throughout the year.” ISU AfterDark gives students the chance to experience “outstanding opportunities, to have fun, to win great prizes, to meet other students, and to have something to do on the ISU campus.”

This week’s lineup features the Found Footage Festival, a collection of videos found at thrift stores and garage sales around the country currently on a nationwide tour. Founded by Joe Pickett, Nick Prueher, and Glenn Severance, their work has been featured on “Late Show with David Letterman,” “Mystery Science Theater 3000,” “The Onion,” and the “Colbert Report.”

Comedian Steve Byrne, star of the TBS show “Sullivan & Son,” will also be performing as part of ISU AfterDark. According to IMDB.com, Byrne has also appeared on an episode of ABC’s “The Middle” and in the movie “Couples Retreat.”

Both Byrne and the Found Footage Fest are co-sponsored by the Student Union Board.

According to the flyer, students attending will also have the chance to win an iPad. Students must show their ISU ID to claim any prizes won at the event.

Other features of ISU AfterDark this week include bingo, craft stations, musical chairs with drunk goggles, free bowling and billiards, green screen photos, food and karaoke.

By Leah.Hansen @iowastatedaily.com The ISU Blood Drive is one of the largest student-run blood drives in the country. This year, the ISU Blood Drive is celebrating its 50th year.

“This year’s theme is the 50th anniversary of the ISU Blood Drive.

Our slogan is ‘giving never gets outdated,’” said Katie Weber, senior in animal science. “Our goal this year is celebrating 50 years of Iowa State Blood Drive.”

Students and staff are invited to donate blood from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. next Friday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. “‘Plan for an hour’ is what we go by,” said Aaron Lorch, senior in agricultural systems technology. “I’ve seen it as short as a half hour when lines aren’t long at all, and I’ve seen people stand for an hour and a half or more, too.”

Donations at the blood drive are kept within the Midwest and used by local blood centers and hospitals.

“Our drive helps so much with

blood in Iowa. We help so many hospitals over the whole state,” Weber said. “It’s really important that people come out and donate blood. Take an hour and a half and save three people.”

Students and staff members who come to the blood drive to donate are asked to check in at the Cardinal Room of the Memorial Union, then proceed to donate.

“When a student or staff member comes to donate blood, they’ll first go ahead and go over to the initial registration room that is located in the Cardinal Room,” said Cory Bryant, senior in kinesiology and health.

“There, they’ll get sorted out to one of the [blood] centers. From there, they’ll get escorted to the center waiting areas, and from there they’ll proceed to donate blood,” Bryant said. “Then they’ll get escorted to the canteen, where they’ll sit for 10 minutes and eat some food, drink some water, and after that time is up they’re free to go.”

It is suggested that all donors eat breakfast and have something to drink before coming to the blood

drive. More specific requirements for donating can be found on the ISU Blood Drive website.

“Nearly everyone should be able to donate blood. The exceptions would be … people who are underweight … if they have low iron, if they have traveled to certain countries, not every country,” Weber said.

“People who donate plasma need to make sure they have time before they donate blood.”

Low iron can depend greatly on whether or not a donor has had anything to eat or drink before trying to donate.

“A lot of issues can change from day to day. If someone comes in with low iron, we tell them to come back in the next day, because a lot of times that can change,” Lorch said.

At the fall 2011 blood drive, 2,541 donors gave blood. The ISU Blood Drive co-directors hope to increase donations in this year’s blood drive. “[We hope our numbers are] as good, if not better than our last fall,” Lorch said. “We would like to match those numbers and keep increasing

them.”

Those who volunteer at the blood drive believe that the work they do benefits the lives of those who need blood.

“Donating blood is one of the easiest ways to give back to people,” Weber said. “There is no other way to save a life that is as easy [as donating blood]. An hour and a half, and you’ve saved three people’s lives.”

Dairy Science Club wins national awards

By Carter.Collins @iowastatedaily.com Most ISU students know the Dairy Science Club for its $1 homemade ice cream sale.

Every Wednesday in front of Lush Auditorium in Kildee Hall, students can find nine different flavors of homemade ice cream being sold by the Dairy Science Club. But what most Iowa State students may not know is that the Dairy Science Club is one of the top three dairy science clubs in the nation. This year was no different.

>>FINANCIAL AID.p1A tions is not necessarily tied into the goal of increasing enrollment. Once the money is raised, if the donors do not give a specific use for the money they donated, it will go to support students based on merit or need, Lackey said.

Leath will raise funds for this initiative and also have help from other organizations.

The ISU Foundation is an organization involved in connecting with donors and encouraging alumni and friends of Iowa State to support the future generation of ISU graduates. The foundation will be helping Leath with reaching his donation goals.

Larissa Jones, vice president of development at the ISU Foundation, said that they have several ideas already in place.

“The timeline for the student support initiative is five years,” Jones said.

Jones also said they will try their best to encourage alumni and friends of the university to donate.

>>DAIRY.p1A The 2012 American Dairy Science Association National Conference Joint Annual Meeting, or JAM for short, was held in Phoenix on July 15 to 19. Haley Jones, senior in dairy science and public relations chair of the club, said Iowa State was the secondlargest represented college at the conference.

Iowa State’s Dairy Science Club walked away with two club awards, two gold and five silver student academic achievement awards, and one of the top student honors at the national conference.

While at the conference, ISU representatives networked with dairy industry leaders, attended seminars regarding new research, listened to a career roundtable discussion and competed in a quiz bowl against 25 other schools.

“We will partner with the campus,” Jones said. “Certainly President Leath will serve as a spokesperson, but so will the senior vice presidents and deans. There will be events, publications, phone calls, direct mail and personal conversations.”

The yearbook is published and distributed at the Dairy Science Yearly Banquet.

Throughout the conference, each school received points for its presentations, seminar participation and participation in competitions such as the quiz bowl, among other factors. The school with the most points becomes the overall conference winner.

“It always comes down between us, Iowa State, and two other schools, Virginia Tech and Penn State, on who wins the [American Dairy Science Association] national conference,” said Derek Nolan, senior in dairy science and current president of the Dairy Science Club. This year, Iowa State did not nab the overall award, placing behind Virginia Tech.

Several members were awarded for academic achievement, but recent alumna, Leah Henkes, took home the highest student award from the. “[Henkes] was involved with the dairy industry from a very young age,” Nolan said.

“She did an excellent job promoting the industry.”

Henkes received the 2012 Genevieve Christen Distinguished Undergraduate Student of the Year award.

According to the American Dairy Science Association’s website, this award is given to a student who demonstrates leadership ability, academic achievement, involvement in the industry and participation in their local club activities.

Jones said the dairy science advisers nominated Henkes for her work as president of the Dairy Science Club in 2011. This is the second time

in three years that an ISU student has received this honor.

“Not only was she a great student, but she was good at getting each member involved in some aspect of the club,” Hodges said, “finding what they would be good at and making them feel like a necessity to the club.”

Jones remembers her freshman year, when Henkes came up to her and made her feel welcomed to the Dairy Science Club.

“She made me comfortable with dairy science people,” Jones said.

Celebrating Latin traditions

By Katherine.Marcheski @iowastatedaily.com The Latino Heritage Committee dedicated a month for celebration and education about Latino culture and issues in 1992, the year the committee was formed. President Sandy Velasquez said this year has another great lineup of events, community outreach and cultural expression.

“The purpose is to plan events to educate the community about Latino culture, but to also outreach to the community with events,” Velasquez said.

Velasquez said educating the public about Latino conflicts and culture is important, and the committee is open to anyone interested in the cause.

The Latino Heritage Club also collaborates with other multicultural groups on campus and strives to help them and promote their events as well.

The dedicated time for Latino Heritage Month is Sept.

15 to Oct. 20. This year, they are coordinating with the Puerto Rican Student Association’s culture night and hosting three different lectures. Two of the lectures are based on the impact and promotion of voting in elections, placing the importance on multicultural students’ voting, hosting community service events and a cultural celebration night.

Cultural activities include salsa and dancing nights, planned for early October.

There are efforts being made for community service and public outreach by the group.

“We are hosting a class on Sept. 30 for Latina women in the community that teaches a variety of basic computer skills. We’re also hosting a poster-making and presentation night at the Ames Public Library for school children to present small projects about

the Latino community,” said Adele Lozano, the group adviser and program coordinator at the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs.

Lozano said the celebration is integral for the community, not just Latino students.

“With the growing Latino population in Iowa, faster than other racial ethnic groups, it is also growing at Iowa State, and it’s important to recognize that and the impact it will have,” Lozano said. “The campus is becoming more diverse, and it’s becoming more important to learn issues, heritage, culture, and understand these on a local, state and national level.”

Lozano said the ultimate goal is for cultural diversity to become threaded throughout campus for the whole year and for students to pay attention to different groups all the time.

“This obviously doesn’t happen, so that’s why paying special attention [during] certain months [is] important,” Lozano said.

File photo: Iowa State Daily Brian Castro, senior in nutritional science, participates in Marcha de las Banderas (March of the Flags) in celebration of 2010 Latino Heritage Month. This year’s celebration, from Sept. 15 to Oct. 20, will feature dancing nights, lectures and other activities.

The large number of Latinos provides awareness of issues that people may not know about and allows for further spread of culture.

“It’s important to not only have but to recognize a diverse community,” Lozano said. “We have to stop looking at the community as the ‘majority’ against the ‘others,’ but rather as a community that is one and made up of different populations.”

Lozano said she hopes that Latino Heritage Month will open up people’s eyes, and that the ISU community can continue to grow in cultural unity, instead of division.

ISU faculty discusses Muslim riots

By Meryl.Onnen @iowastatedaily.com Throughout the Middle East and North Africa, there have been riots off and on for almost three weeks over a YouTube video named “The Innocence of Muslims,” which mocks the Prophet Muhammad. The uprisings started in Libya and resulted in the death of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stephens.

The first riot took place on Sept. 11, when the U.S. embassy in Libya was attacked.

There has been speculation that these were actually acts of al-Qaida and completely unrelated to the uprisings and

the video. “[The] attacks in Libya were definitely planned and unrelated to the video.” said James McCormick, ISU political science professor and chairman. “The guards disappeared, and there wasn’t any demonstration beforehand.”

McCormick said these attacks were a little too structured to be a random mob.

Al-Qaida claimed to be responsible for it, but no one actually knows so far if this is true.

“At first it seemed planned, but now there is a little bit better of an explanation. This started as a random mob about [the] video but was hijacked

by groups already planning an attack on the embassy,” said Ellen Pirro, political science lecturer. “If there hadn’t already been a demonstration going on, they would have started one. This just gave them a good window.”

After the first video came out, a French magazine crated a comic that mocked the Prophet Muhammad, putting their embassies at risk of attack as well.

“This paper is notorious for [startling and antagonizing]; they view getting attacked as doing a good job. The French government is probably furious with them,” Pirro said.

After all the anger and

demonstrating, people wonder if there is an appropriate road to take.

Some countries have even demanded that the United States adopt a law against blasphemy. President Barack Obama gave a speech Sept. 24 at the United Nations addressing the issues, stating that the United States will always respect the right of free speech.

Many are wondering how he will improve the current situation using diplomacy.

“Egypt has set down a marker of what we must do to keep relations,” McCormick said. “We must earn our way back into good graces by taking positive steps, but it will

be a long term process, and nothing will probably happen until presidential elections are done. Well, we will have to just wait and see [about the blasphemy laws].”

Pirro agrees that the United States will have to tread lightly, but “[The United States] gave Egypt a lot of funding; they won’t want to risk that... The Egyptian president has already gone to lengths to have all demonstrations and riots stopped.”

“The internet cannot be shut down,” Pirro said of the potential blasphemy laws. “It can be censored, but opinions and information will always be able to be accessed.”

Seriously ‘silly’ art Unusual goods make up work of St. Louis artist

By Alyssa.Miller @iowastatedaily.com Many art enthusiasts gathered in Morrill Hall Thursday evening for the free talk titled “Concepts, Context and Duality,” given by St. Louis artist Andy Magee.

The talk was hosted from 6 to 7 p.m. in 2019 Morrill Hall, followed by a reception from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Christian Petersen Art Museum, where Magee’s exhibition, “Post-Pop Redux,” is on display.

Magee discussed why people perceive the things they do and the concept of permanence, which are two of the underlying themes of his work.

“The word ‘permanent’ is completely pointless,” Magee said. “Permanent to us is that house that you grew up in that’s still there when you die.

Permanence is an illusion.”

Many of Magee’s artistic pieces are arranged in the museum and are meant to be impermanent. Among these pieces is “Holy Toast,” a portrait, perhaps of Jesus, made from many slices of toasted bread.

Magee conveys a message to his audience by creating meaningful sculptures from items they may have a personal connection with.

Dorothy Witter, interpretation specialist for University Museums, commented on Magee’s pieces.

“People have an immediate reaction to [Magee’s work],” Witter said. “They’re images that you see in pop culture, so they immediately draw a response. This is something different, and a little more contemporary, that I think students can relate to.”

Magee’s piece called “Change,” a portrait of President Barack Obama made entirely from circulated coins, has never before been exhibited. It is currently being loaned out from its owner to be

shown here at Iowa State.

Magee expects each viewer to take away something different from his art.

“I like to deal with political pieces, and I like to deal with religious pieces. It’s easy to point out absurdities and dualities. It’s easy to highlight how two people can see the same thing in two different ways.”

He wishes for those who view his art to think twice about their lives. “I hope that people will think about consumption and waste. I hope people will think about seeing things in a different way,” Magee said. “I think most of the work points out those really really silly things that sometimes we take way too seriously,“ The Christian Petersen Art Museum’s doors are open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“Post-Pop Redux” has been on display since the beginning of the current semester. It will be free and open to the public until Dec. 14, when the collection will leave campus.

‘Enviropigs’ reduce greenhouse gases with modified genes

By Taylor.Hilsabeck @iowastatedaily.com

File photo:Iowa State Daily As one of the newest buildings on campus, Hach Hall was constructed with energy-saving materials. A team of 15 students and faculty members have been looking into other campus buildings to explore more ideas to save money and energy.

ISU students, faculty team up to explore energy-saving ideas

By Meredith.Whitlock @iowastatedaily.com The U.S. Green Building Council is a nonprofit organization that promotes awareness of the need for environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient buildings across the United States.

Through the Green Building Council, the “Research to Practice Program” was launched in the fall of 2012.

This program is a project focused on educating students and faculty members in higher-level education about the importance of designing and implementing energy-efficient projects on campus.

More than 35 colleges and universities throughout the United States and across the globe are active in this research project, with Iowa State among

them. A group of students and staff from each school took time to research several topics on making buildings more efficient on campus. Some topics include: electricity and energy use, water management, and ventilation.

Iowa State’s team consists of 15 undergraduate members, ranging in majors from architecture to engineering, and several faculty members.

In the project’s first phase, the ISU team analyzed three research buildings on campus — Hach Hall, Molecular Biology Building and Gilman Hall. Molecular Biology and Gilman, both older buildings, were compared to Hach Hall, which is a newer and certified with Leadership in Energy and Environment Design. The analysis considered lighting, plugs and outlets, mechanics,

and “building envelope,” or outside structure.

The team determined updated lighting would have the most impact with the lowest expenses. The light bulbs used in Molecular Biology and Gilman are T12 light bulbs, which have low energy efficiency. The replacements will be T8 bulbs, which are 20 percent more efficient than the T12 bulbs and, in the long run, will save money on energy use.

In addition to lighting, equipment age is also crucial to determining the amount of energy usage and cost per year.

The team determined if more simple equipment around labs and research facilities were replaced, a substantial amount of money spent on energy cost would be saved each year.

Kerry Dixon-Fox, an architect with ISU Facilities

Planning and Management, oversees what the students do and helps with the planning and coordination as well.

Dixon-Fox believes this program is extremely beneficial not only to the universities involved but to the future of all universities impacted by the Research to Practice Program.

“The students are getting hands-on experience in what they have learned in operation,” Dixon-Fox said.

“Decisions made on paper have huge impact on the life of a building.”

The next step for this program is Phase II, which will involve creating manuals based on the analyzed research.

These manuals will be used as a tool when remodeling campus buildings for energy efficiency and environmental health.

When pigs on modern farms produce waste, they release phosphorus in the environment. With our centralized industrial agricultural system, there are occasionally huge amounts of phosphorus dumped into a small area. When this element is washed into rivers and other bodies of water, it can lead to steep increases in algae, which disrupts natural oxygen levels and can kill fish. In short, pig waste, a major fertilizer source for farmers, can be a problem for the environment.

A possible solution for this problem is the “enviropig.” Enviropigs are able to digest the plant phosphorus more efficiently, reducing the amount of phosphorus released into the air by up to 60 percent.

In 1999, the first enviropig was born at the University of Guelph’s farm in Ontario, Canada. Unlike the rest of his litter, this piglet had the phytase gene, a bacterial protein, attached to a piece of mouse DNA that locked into one of his chromosomes. The purpose of the gene was to make the pig produce an enzyme to help it better digest plant phosphorus, a vital nutrient in his feed. The mouse DNA was used as a catalyst to kick start phytase production in the pig’s salivary system.

In addition to enviropigs not damaging the environment, the genetic engineering does not harm the pigs in anyway. Such evaluations are required under the Food

and Drug Administration’s draft guidelines.

For Cecil Forsberg, one of the University of Guelph scientists who developed the enviropig, the FDA draft guidelines open the door to investors interested in their trademarked animal. “Food companies have been slow to back genetically engineered animals without a clear approval process,” he said.

FDA officials say genetically-engineered animals hold “great promise” for improving human medicine and the environment.

Genetically modified food is already on your table.

Corn, soy and rice have been genetically modified, and the practice is growing all over the world. The aim is to modify food so it is pest and herbicide resistant, as well as bigger, juicier, tastier, etc. “[Genetically engineered animals] would offer some good possibilities to reduce phosphorus in the manure and reduce for potential water quality concerns. Testing and verification would be necessary to ensure that the pig does reduce the need for phosphorus in the diet, and that it can be raised under commercial conditions,” said Tom Baas, animal science professor at Iowa State.

“Unfortunately, in many cases, other production problems may arise, which is why evaluation and verification [are] necessary.”

Further studies have also shown that the engineered trait is also successfully passed down to offspring, meaning that a new breed of pig could make its appearance on farms.

Jantz, Cyclones seek redemption, first 4-0 start since 2000

By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com Steele Jantz was riding the pine when Iowa State upset Texas Tech last season in his first game as a nonstarter.

Having reclaimed his spot as the starting quarterback for the Cyclones (3-0) this season, Jantz will be looking for redemption in Big 12 games after a foot injury that hindered his play and led to his benching once conference play began.

“This is the first league game that he’s been healthy in,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads of Jantz. “It gives us a

chance to start to see what level of player he is now.”

The four-game losing streak that led to Jantz’s benching last season began Jantz with a 37-14 loss to Texas that halted the team’s shot at a 4-0 start for the first time since 2000. Iowa State will get a second opportunity for a 4-0 start on Saturday, when it hosts Texas Tech (3-0) at 6 p.m.

“It’s not so much to redeem myself as it is redeeming the team,” Jantz said. “In a lot of ways, I let the team down last year. I think a lot of games, we should have won that we lost last year, so I don’t want that to happen to our team this year.”

ISU going into game blindfolded to TCU’s performance skills

By Cory.Weaver @iowastatedaily.com Being able to review previous matches against an opponent helps a team prepare and know what it needs to improve before game time.

For the ISU and TCU volleyball teams, the two don’t have that luxury this weekend.

Hilton Coliseum will host the

teams’ first outing against each other on Saturday, and without much knowledge of the conference newcomer, ISU coach Christy JohnsonLynch said they will have to learn as they go.

“I think we’re going to have to adjust during the match,” JohnsonLynch said. “We’ll have some matches to watch, but a lot of it will just be getting that feel in-person for what they’re like, and I think being able to make adjustments during the game is going to be very important.”

ISU Hockey is back in Ames this Friday and Saturday night when the No. 10 ISU hockey team takes the ice for a pair of games against Kansas.

The Cyclones (4-1-0-0) last played the Division II Jayhawks, who have not played a game yet this season, two seasons ago in Ames.

The Cyclones did not allow a goal in two games against the Jayhawks and won by scores of 9-0 and 11-0.

ISU goaltenders Paul Karus, who was at the time playing in place of Erik Hudson while he was in Turkey at the World University Games, and Scott Ismond recorded the shutouts the last time the Cyclones played the Jayhawks.

“I thought that was a pretty good series,” Karus said. “They came out hard, and they played us pretty well, and we were just fortunate enough that the defense stood up and we didn’t allow anything.”

In addition to Karus and Ismond, ISU coach Al Murdoch intends on giving some game experience to junior goaltender Matt

Cooper, as well as other, newer players who don’t have as much game experience.

“Our hope is that we’ll be able to play some of our players who haven’t gotten that much playing time in the first five games,” Murdoch said.

So far this season, ISU junior forward Jon Feavel has eight points (six goals, two assists) through the first five games of the season. He collected five of those points last weekend in two wins against North Dakota State.

Even though players like Feavel and J.P. Kascsak are on a roll early in the season, they may not get as much ice time as usual in preparation for next weekend’s games against No. 4 Arizona State.

“If I have the chance, I may rest some of our veterans a little bit more through the weekend,” Murdoch said. “We’ll try to give our young guys, our newer guys, more ice time to have that game experience.”

The No. 10 Cyclones face off against the Jayhawks at 7:30 p.m.

Friday and at 4:30 p.m. Saturday.

Both games will be at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.

Runners ready to race at Roy Griak Invitational

By Emily.Hejlik @iowastatedaily.com The ISU men’s and women’s cross-country teams will encounter their first big test of the season this weekend far from home.

The Cyclones will travel to the University of Minnesota to compete in the 27th Annual Roy Griak Invitational, which is set to begin at 11 a.m.

Saturday .

“The Roy Griak Invitational is always a bench mark meet for us,” said coach Corey Ihmels. “It’s not the end-all, be-all, but we need to be competitive and not back down to anyone. You want to see progress.”

Results for the women’s team a season ago at the invitational were extremely positive.

The women claimed the team title on the 6,000-meter course with three runners placing in the top 15. They were led by then-senior Dani Stack’s eighth-place finish, with Meaghan Nelson and Betsy Saina following close behind, earning 13th- and 15th-place finishes.

The men’s squad was paced by graduated senior Rico Loy’s 13th-place finish on the 8,000-meter course.

Junior Martin Coolidge finished the race 17th, and the team achieved a sixth-place finish.

This coming weekend’s meet presents a first for even the most experienced of runners.

“This will be my first race of the cross-country year, so I’m going to see how things go and change anything depending on how I do,” said Saina, a four-time All-American.

“This meet will really prepare me for the rest of the season.”

By Dan.Cole @iowastatedaily.com File photo: Iowa State Daily Dani Stack (left) and Betsy Saina sprint toward the line, leading in the women’s 3000-meter run. The two finished second and first, respectively, qualifying for the NCAA Indoor Champinships Jan. 28 at Lied Recreation.

Invitational is host to many larger schools, posing a much greater challenge than any other meet that the Cyclones have endured so far this season.

“This meet will show us how good we really are,” Saina said. “I’m excited to see how everyone does against better competition.”

On the men’s side, the team hopes the invitational will be a turning point for the season as a whole.

“The Roy Griak will set the tone for the remainder of the season,” said junior Martin Coolidge. “The last

two years we’ve struggled at this race. We need to establish good momentum going forward.”

The team will be vying to score several points by beating ranked teams, something the squad unfortunately failed to do the past two seasons.

“Coach always stresses to us that you don’t have to run spectacular, but to just run as well as you’re capable of,” Coolidge said. “This is the most important meet other than regionals and conference — I have no doubt that we can place in the top three.”

The ISU soccer team takes to the road this weekend for its first away games of the Big 12 season, facing off against Oklahoma State on Friday and Texas Tech on Sunday.

The Cyclones (8-4, 0-1 Big 12) played two games in Ames last weekend, falling to Texas 4-0 in the conference opener on Friday before bouncing back to the tune of a 7-0 victory against South Dakota on Sunday.

“Friday was a big disappointment, obviously, but it was a learning experience,” said sophomore Ashley Johnson, who recorded one goal and three assists in Sunday’s victory. “It was our first game of the Big 12, so we can only look forward from there. Sunday was a lot better. We still have a bit of work to do, but Sunday got our minds right again.”

The Cyclones will try to carry the momentum and confidence from Sunday’s victory into this weekend’s tough road games.

Oklahoma State (9-3, 0-2 Big 12) began its season on a six-game winning streak, but lost both of its games game last weekend at Kansas and West Virginia.

The Cyclones and Cowgirls are tied 7-7-2 alltime against each other. Oklahoma State took last year’s meeting by a final score of 1-0.

“They’ve always been very good,” said coach Wendy Dillinger. “They’re talented, they have a lot of experience, and they also have a tradition of success in that program, so I think we’re playing against that as much as we’re playing against anything.”

Texas Tech (8-3, 0-1 Big 12) also dropped its first game of the Big 12 schedule last weekend at West Virginia.

The Cyclones have had success against the Red Raiders in the past, leading the all-time series by an 11-5 margin, including a 1-0 doubleovertime victory last October.

“That’s my home state, so it’s going to be a lot of emotion on the line as well for me,” said junior Brittany Morgan, who hails from Mesquite, Texas, about 10 miles east of Dallas. “We have to prove to these teams that we are able to be in the Big 12 tournament, since we haven’t been back in quite a while. So I think this will definitely be the start of who we are.”

This weekend’s games are slated to begin at 7 p.m. Friday at Oklahoma State and at 1 p.m.

Sunday at Texas Tech.

>>TEXAS TECH.p7A “I think they’re still blurred a little bit at this point; I think rankings are a little bit blurred at this point,” Rhoads said. “Things are going to change in a hurry. We have seven undefeated teams in the Big 12 — at a maximum after this weekend, there will be five; there could be as little as three.”

Texas Tech is also allowing 10 points per game, which is sixth in the nation among FBS schools.

TTU quarterback Seth Doege comes into the game with 12 touchdown passes — tied with West Virginia’s Geno Smith, USC’s Matt Barkley and Tennessee’s Tyler Bray for most in the nation.

“He hardly throws any incompletions, and he hardly throws any interceptions — pretty good qualities for a quarterback to possess,” Rhoads said of Doege. “With that, they’re scoring 50-plus points a game and really executing very well.

“As good as he is and the numbers he puts up, people don’t hardly talk about him because of the other quarterbacks in this league. It’s just a league that’s full of great, great players, and where he ranks in that

shouldn’t be shorted at all.”

Doege is known for his ability to keep his offensive unit on the field in an upbeat tempo that is notorious for wearing down defenses at critical points in the game. However, the ISU defense should not have too much of a problem against Doege and Co. “The thing about it is our offense runs a fast-paced tempo, so we kind of get that in practice,” said nose tackle Jake McDonough. “We’ll go goods versus goods, and they’ll run their quick plays, and we’ll have to be on the fly, be ready, and it definitely helps with conditioning.”

Rhoads said the week of preparation for the game against Texas Tech has been better than it was last year heading into the loss against Texas.

Because of this and the way the defense has been playing, having not allowed a touchdown in 129 minutes of game play, the Cyclones are expecting a much different outcome this time around, especially against a spread offense like that of Tech.

“The linebacking corps take the run game out and force teams to pass,” said free safety Jacques Washington.

“We’ve just been playing well, and I think we’re playing better this year.”

>>TCU.p7A match progresses is not something the Cyclones (7-5, 1-1 Big 12) are unaccustomed to.

Throughout the nonconference season, teams throw around a variety of lineups as they try to find the best combination before conference play begins. Because of this, ISU setter Alison Landwehr believes the coaching staff knows what to look for to help the team succeed.

“I think our coaches do a really good job of catching on to it early so we can kind of make those adjustments quickly, but I think it’s something that we’re kind of used to, so we should be OK with that,” Landwehr said.

Texas Christian (13-2, 2-0 Big 12) moved to the Big 12 during the conference realignment frenzy a year ago, and the former Mountain West school is already packing a punch.

Of the nine volleyball programs in the conference, TCU sits atop the rest in opponent hitting percentage. The Horned Frogs are limiting opponents to a dismal .127 hitting percentage, but ISU middle Tenisha Matlock said it just gives the team more drive to flip the script.

“That, and just as long as [Alison Landwehr] keeps the sets the way we’ve always been hitting, then we should be unstoppable,” Matlock said.

On the offensive side for TCU, junior middle Yvonne Igodan boasts the third-best hitting percentage and kill count in the Big 12 to give the Cyclones something to watch for on both ends.

Iowa State gets to face off against Texas Christian at home, which gives the team a better chance of starting off on the right note.

Friday, September 28, 2012 Honorable and dear President Obama: Congratulations on pulling ahead in the polls in Iowa, Mr. President.

If the latest results are to be believed, it would seem some of the missteps of the Romney campaign are aiding you in your quest for that all-important independent vote in swing states like Iowa and especially in crucial areas like Iowa District #4. But will that lead hold up as news of the Y Woeman Scandal breaks in these final weeks of the campaign? Let’s ask the candidates themselves.

Honorable and dear Congressman Steve King: What’s your take on how the Obama Administration has treated my wife, Y Woeman? You were pretty upset with the way the Department of Justice handled the Fast and Furious Mexico gun fiasco. Are you willing to hold AG Holder accountable for the way DOJ has bungled the Y Woeman affair?

Let me be more specific. Will you raise your voice in asking President Obama to explain why for over two years he has refused to answer my repeated pleas for executive relief in this case? And will you, if re-elected, demand some explanation from AG Holder as to why DOJ insists that the only way it will help Y Woeman is if I perjure myself on a federal immigration form? Time to speak out, Mr. King. What say you?

Honorable and dear former Iowa first lady Christie Vilsack: I appeal to you both as a woman and as a person whose husband has considerable influence in the Obama administration. Will you help my wife, Y Woeman, in her quest for a permanent home in this country? Or will you, like all those other members of the Obama administration to whom I’ve written these past 4 years, keep ignoring her plight and pretending I do not exist?

In short, will you, if elected, use your influence in Congress to help secure permanent residency for this poor Y Woeman whose only “crime” has been risking her life for over 25 years in order to assist our government?

Please speak out on her behalf.

Friday, September 28, 2012 Dear ISU Academic Community: I don’t care if you call yourself Republican, Democrat, or Independent. You better listen up if you know what’s good for you and for America. And that’s not a threat but a promise.

I’m talking about the Y Woeman Scandal and how it affects you in north-central Iowa.

The bottom line is that if the government can do to me and to my wife what it has done for decades, then it can do it to you as well. That’s the heart of this case: governmental bungling to the destruction of my civil and her human rights--and yours too.

President Obama didn’t create this mess over 25 years ago, but he’s the one who’s failed to do anything about it for years now, making her bad situation considerably worse.

Since he personally appealed to ISU to become actively involved in the final stages of his campaign, I’ve chosen ISU as well to call him to some public accounting for his administration’s mistakes.

Unfortunately the politically correct student managers at the Iowa State Daily and (phrase deleted by requirements of said students) seem to think they have the right to censor my speech (as did their Advertising/Marketing department) in the ad they wouldn’t print a few weeks back and to ignore (as has their editorial department) that the Y Woeman Scandal is a valid news story that could have an impact on this election akin to that of Willie Horton in 1988. For what’s at stake in this controversy is the entire moral credibility of the Obama administration.

How can President Obama call for immigration reform when he refuses help to a foreign national who’s risked her life for this country for decades? And how can he call for expanding marital rights to the LGBT community when he tramples upon heterosexual marital rights as he’s done in this case for years?

For the record, I’m a life-long Democrat who only switched Republican for several years to vote pro-life. I switched back to vote for President Obama 4 years ago because even though I don’t agree with him on abortion, I favor extending marital civil rights to the LGBT community, I favor extensive immigration reform, I favor bringing home all our troops from abroad. In short, I support most of his domestic and foreign policy, but I will not vote for him again until he explains why he refuses to do the right thing when it comes to resolving how this government has abused my wife’s human rights for 25+ years and my civil rights for 14+ years in general and 4 years in particular. Will you help hold him publicly accountable for an answer?

My prediction: As goes Iowa district 4, so goes Iowa at large. And as goes Iowa, so goes America. In short, you folk at ISU have the power to influence the entire national election. Will you? Speak up now before you lose your rights too.

Editorial

Popular vote should not decide rights As perverted as Bob Vander Plaats thinks same-sex marriage is, his view of “freedom” is far more disturbing.

In keeping with his cabal two years ago to unseat Iowa Supreme Court justices, Vander Plaats’ group, Iowans for Freedom, rallied outside the state capitol in Des Moines on Monday to agitate against the retention of Justice David Wiggins.

True to his broken record state of mind (he carted out the same wornout phrases from his third gubernatorial campaign of a few years ago), Vander Plaats said that if judges can “redefine the institution of marriage, then they won’t blink an eye when they take away your private property, when they take away your guns, ... when they take away your freedom of religion or freedom of speech.”

In 2009 the Iowa Supreme Court, in a 7-0 decision, struck down a law that defined marriage as between one man and one woman because it violated the Iowa Constitution’s equal protection clauses.

In 2010, three justices were up for an ordinarily routine retention vote at which time voters can eject judges who have failed to uphold standards of good conduct. Now, says Tamara Scott, co-chairwoman of Iowans for Freedom, Wiggins is “just number four in a line of seven who committed a grievance against the people.”

There are plenty of reasons to get rid of Wiggins.

Framing the rhetoric in this way — that because “the People” disagree with one ruling they can cashier the judges — is not it. Subordinating constitutional interpretation to the uneducated opinions of ordinary people is inherently dangerous.

Exposing the supreme law of Iowa to the fickle winds of popular opinion is tantamount to playing Russian roulette with nuclear warheads.

The real question about Vander Plaats’ repeated efforts is: Freedom for whom? Freedom for the majority to live in a world of their decree? The arrival of former Pennsylvania senator and contender for the Republican Party presidential nomination Rick Santorum — a man who is blatantly not from here — on the “No Wiggins” bus tour raises yet another question.

Is it Iowans, or Americans, or the whole world who will decide Iowa’s laws in a majoritarian fashion? After all, in 2010 out-of-state groups spent more than $1 million to oust the justices up for retention.

Freedom applies to everyone, not just the fleeting electoral majorities, assembled by money and ignorant demagoguery, that materialize every two years. It is an opportunity held by everybody, having agreed on a basic, fundamental, common denominator set of civic principles (a constitution), to take his or her own life into his own hands and lead it as he sees fit, so long as it doesn’t adversely affect other people.

In one last great homage, Space Shuttle Endeavor ferried its way across the nation passing over key locations making it virtually the most encompassing air show in history.

Flybys included places such as: The Kennedy Space Center, Johnson Space Center, Gabby Giffords’ home, NASA Ames Research Facility, The Queen Mary, Disneyland, Universal Studios, White Sands Missile Range, Jet Propulsion Lab, Dryden Flight Research Center, and eventually landing at LAX to be put on display at the California Science Center. The irony is Endeavor made one of its last flyovers above SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, Calif.

SpaceX being the leading (and essentially only) contender for American human spaceflight in the near future, NASA shows a bit of a political message by flying over the private corporation, if not a little public relations. Maybe even a bit of passing on national responsibility. A passing of the torch,

By Ian.Timberlake @iowastatedaily.com literally.

While it is my belief that the American government should do everything within its power to advance the space program, this rare bit of irony is a calling sign that the government actually needs our help as a people to put our foot on new frontier.

Commercial space-flight is on the cusp of becoming a competitive, marketable industry.

With SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy, Virgin Galactic’s LauncherOne, Reaction Engine Limited’s SABRE, we are only bound for a spillover into the regular market.

This isn’t to say that government space organizations are going to become obsolete. In fact, I think the opposite. What the government will always be able to provide is incentive for dreamers of today to become the achievers of tomorrow.

So long as humans are interested in space, the government will have a vested interest to be a part of it. Be it colonizing moons or planets, providing space defense, laying claim to mineral deposits, averting apocalyptic asteroids or most decidedly, research of the cosmos,

the government will be everpresent through education and research grants, scholarships as well as major national political decisions.

Even though NASA seemingly passed the torch of responsibility onto SpaceX, private corporations will vie for a market in space travel, not so much in scientific research. These corporations have a market to create and fill and will likely succeed in the near future. The shift is subtle, though. I equate it to the difference between engineers and physicists. Physicists work on the expansion of scientific knowledge within the universe while engineers take that knowledge and apply it.

SpaceX and other up-andcoming corporations will be taking the research that the government programs continue to provide and apply it to the market in a competitive manner.

In other words, I believe you should be rooting for the success of the private space industry while monetarily supporting the government sectors responsible for the research, such as NASA. The glory of NASA might have burnt out as far as the public is concerned, if only because they are no longer the ones in the spotlight sending astronauts on heroic missions to the moon.

NASA is becoming the voice behind the character in animation films. Or better yet, the fuel for the fire.

Private corporations will help

Security

remove the need to innovate on the basis of politics because their funds won’t come from just the national budget nor a red scare.

In order for NASA (read, government) to design and build asteroid aversion technology, NASA has to be able to give a reason to the people for spending their money in that light. As sad as it sounds, the public won’t have any of it unless there is an asteroid bumbling silently through space at 90,000 miles per hour with a target destination called “the Atlantic Ocean”.

By that account, we all might as well be dead.

The competition of private space corporations will naturally beget a space race, minus the nuclear warheads. It will reduce the cost of all things spacerelated, it will create jobs, it will inspire, educate and maybe most importantly, save the human species. NASA has assumed the role of the researcher and educator and maybe, just maybe, that’s where they best function.

After all, Neil Armstrong did say, “I am, and ever will be, a white-socks, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer, born under the second law of thermodynamics, steeped in steam tables, in love with free-body diagrams, transformed by Laplace and propelled by compressible flow.”

New technology raises questions on free speech How far do First Amendment rights stretch?

Guns unnecessary, risky on campus Concealed weapons cause fear, not safety

he right to bear arms is an inherent part of being an American citizen, but every now and then, a story of a school shooting is broadcast on the news, and the safety of the American college campus is examined. The question for schools that don’t allow guns on campus quickly becomes, “Should students be able to carry guns on campus for protection, or should firearm bans be more heavily enforced?”

The Supreme Court of Colorado and in turn, the University of Colorado, recently ruled that concealed weapons may be carried by permit-holding citizens on campus. This has caused many people to question their safety, and I believe that their unease is warranted.

Regardless of the fact that students who would be bearing arms would be of legal age and have a state permit,

By Ana.Goeser @iowastatedaily.com when asked whether students should be allowed to carry guns on campus, state law should uphold an unconditional “no.”

First and foremost, I believe concealed weapons might cause a needless increase in anxiety for college students as they go about their academic career. Why wouldn’t fear and suspicion strike while walking across campus and sitting in class? Would you be intimidated to sit in a lecture hall knowing that your neighbor or professor could possibly have a gun in his/her pocket? Would this cause you to buy and carry a gun? Would a classroom full of guns make you feel secure or fearful? With record enrollment at Iowa State, it is comforting to know that state laws against weapons protect thousands of students.

As a caveat, there is the argument that those who use the guns in a crimi-

he recent events in Libya and Egypt where U.S. embassies were stormed and U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed are deplorable.

These events were followed by protests, in some cases violent, throughout the world.

Protesters say their actions are in reaction to a film posted on YouTube which mocks Prophet Muhammad by showing him as a buffoon. According to media sources, the film produced by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula under the name “Sam Bacile” was uploaded in July this year. Violence erupted when an excerpt of the film was broadcast on an Egyptian Islamist television station.

Few would have imagined that a single video can create such a havoc. However, this issue is more than just a film as there are a number of intertwined issues. First of all, these events suggest a dangerous trend of growing extremist Islam in nations recently ruled by dictators and now on their path to becoming democracies.

Ironically, Libya was guided on its “democratic” path with active U.S. involvement, as it had helped Libyans overthrow dictator Muammar Gaddafi with its military might and Egypt receives economic and military aid from the United States.

Secondly, such incidents give us an entirely different

By Varad.Diwate @iowastatedaily.com perspective about technology. The free nature of the Internet is a great democratic tool as anyone with access to it can be a blogger or a multimedia journalist. There are a few serious bloggers on the internet who have insightful and critical views.

But there are also religious and racial zealots who use the Internet in a potentially dangerous way.

In this case, someone from America uploads a video which sparks violent protests in the Middle East and all over the world. In short, technology can be potentially destructive. Just type a few “relevant” words on Google and you are able to see a fanatic badmouthing someone’s religion.

If someone is intelligent enough to recognize the purpose behind such sites, he/she is likely to laugh off and get over it. However, there are still some who get influenced by intolerant propaganda of abhorrence and violence. In such cases, can free speech and the Internet take responsibility for hate crimes?

Questions about freedom of speech and religious sensitivities emerge from time to time with such incidents. Can an individual in a free western democracy make his/her opinion public on any topic in any way? To put it bluntly, how far can we stretch the First Amendment shield? There are some possible guidelines

Letter to the Editor

Wind energy Ph.D. not necessarily narrow New program may be broader than it seems I am deeply disappointed about the tone and lack of facts used in Wednesday’s editorial “Wind energy Ph.D. too much specialization.” It sounds like most of the concern expressed was founded from the major’s name and the quote from Jonathan Wickert. What I would have liked to have seen is a report on the curriculum itself, using that to back up your claim that the major is too specialized and why it’s a problem that students will only “[examine] problems solely in a wind energy light.”

Indeed, in any Ph.D. program, the students take classes and conduct research with their particular research topic in mind. For instance, most graduate-level courses have students complete semester projects. More often than not, the students find a way to fit their personal research into these projects. Although I am speaking from my own personal experience, I would venture that this is an

These three realities could theoretically lead to mental instability or rash decision-making. Voiced in another way, because of the psychological and

It involves “departments as diverse as engineering, agronomy, sociology, statistics and journalism.” As someone in another specialized-sounding, yet broad and interdisciplinary major, agricultural meteorology, students in wind energy will likely be expected to take courses in all of these different fields of study. This means that they may end up with a background even broader than, say, a graduate student of “only” aerospace engineering or a graduate student of “only” meteorology. Speaking again from my experience in agricultural meteorology, I have had to take courses in a wide range of topics, from soil physics to boundary-layer meteorology to climate change to satellite remote sensing. I highly suspect a similarly wide, versatile curriculum to be specified for the wind energy major, which would seem to oppose the sentiment expressed in the editorial.

Finally, when it comes to job placement after the Ph.D., more emphasis is placed on one’s dissertation topic than the name of his/her degree. This fact was hinted at in the

Judgement is routinely clouded during the course of a college career.

Concluding: heck, I could be completely wrong about the wind energy program curriculum being broad, but there was nothing in Wednesday’s editorial to make me believe otherwise. From my own experience in a similarly specialized-sounding major, my expectation is that the curriculum will be broad. And regardless of the graduate degree, students (and their major professors) will always view topics in light of their area of expertise. Perhaps Iowa State doesn’t need another graduate program, or perhaps this is not the next graduate program that it should add, but nothing in Wednesday’s editorial should lead one to believe that the new wind energy program, or any new program, will be over-specialized.

The right to bear arms should be exercised by the legal-aged, permitholding, upstanding U.S. citizen.

Special teams

Texas roots anchor Morton’s intensity

By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com

Photo: Adam Ring/Iowa State Daily In his second year as leader of the special teams, senior Matt Morton has used his Texas roots to anchor the team’s energy.

Matt Morton stands at a smaller 6-feet tall. Yet what he lacks in his size compared to some teammates, he makes up for in heart. He wears no armbands or visor; he just wears his black horse collar on his shoulder pads as protection from the violent collisions he encounters on a daily basis.

This is the second year that Morton has been the leader of the special teams unit, breaking them down in practice and in games, leading the charge like a soldier into combat on kickoff and punt coverage. But it wasn’t always that way.

Morton hails from Henderson, Texas. He played football at Henderson High School until he

transferred to the smaller, 2A West Rusk to play his junior and senior year. Make no mistake, transferring to the smaller 2A school didn’t mean the level of football went down.

“Very competitive of course,” Morton said of his competition. “My 2A district was actually voted to be the toughest in the state at the 2A level. It had D-I athletes all over.”

Morton played both sides of the ball throughout high school at quarterback and middle linebacker.

He excelled at both positions, being named first-team all-district linebacker and second-team all-district quarterback.

Late in the recruiting process his senior year, Morton decided to take a look at Iowa State.

“I looked at Iowa State because the Big 12 is a very well-known

conference in Texas especially,” Morton said. “I wanted to be able to play at a Division I school in the Big 12 preferably. I came up and talked to [ISU coach Paul Rhoads], and he pretty much told me what I wanted to hear.

“He said I could come up here and put pads on and compete for a job and earn a scholarship if I walked on.”

Morton decided to take his chances walking on as a Cyclone. He then came to Ames with one mindset.

“I came up with one goal in mind: to earn a scholarship and get on the field and play,” Morton said.

Morton was able to use his redshirt his freshman year since he didn’t play. He said he then talked to one of the special teams coaches, Shane

Jake Calhoun, sports editor (17-11)

Iowa State — Paul Rhoads is 2–0 against the Red Raiders and third time won’t be a charm for them.

West Virginia — First one to score 70 points and swallow the cinnamon without puking wins.

Michigan State — Gee, Ohio State has sure played a gauntlet so far.

This joke would’ve made sense two years ago.

Minnesota — James Vandenberg sleeps with a night-light because he has nightmares about the Golden Gophers.

Nebraska — Bo Pelini will probably be throwing stuff at the refs, Bret Bielema will probably be drunk.

Texas — So much orange, so much twang. The only thing this game needs is Tang, that stuff was the bomb.

Texas A&M — “You’re tacky and I hate you.”

— A&M Yell Leaders at Arkansas QB Tyler Wilson.

Dean Berhow-Goll, assistant sports editor (19-9)

Iowa State — Tech is high-powered but hasn’t faced a defense like Iowa State yet.

West Virginia — Over/ under on incompletions for Geno Smith? Probably around five.

Michigan State — Sparty at home sounds like a rebound. Ohio State is a little overrated, too.

Minnesota — Iowa City’s police blotter eclipses that of last Saturday’s after two straight losses.

Nebraska — Montee Ball is banged up. Rex Burkhead is not. Another riveting Big Ten game.

Texas — OK State got Rick Roll’d by Rich Rod two weeks ago. Texas cruises.

Arkansas — I know Arkansas is about as bad as it gets. But Texas A&M is just not good.

Alex Halsted, assistant sports editor (17-11)

Iowa State — Last season Iowa State failed to advance to 4–0 against Texas.

This season it seems they’ll be better prepared.

West Virginia — Baylor has never been much for defense, and West Virginia never stops scoring.

Michigan State — The Big Ten has been tough to figure out, but Michigan State has seemed better than the rest so far.

Minnesota — The Gophers will really be hogging that pig trophy if they pull off a third consecutive victory against Iowa.

Nebraska — “Bo Pelini can judge a book by its cover.” #bopelinifunfacts

Texas — I went with the Cowboys to beat Arizona and was badly mistaken.

I’ll go with Texas this time.

Texas A&M — Neither is very good, but Arkansas has proven to be much worse. Cheerleaders > Yell Leaders.

Stephen Koengisfeld, sports online editor (19-9)

Iowa State — Even though College GameDay won’t be here, fans are going to “Pack the Jack” for a stadium record.

West Virginia — “The one who scores the most points, wins.” — Kirk Herbstreit, NCAA ‘12.

Ohio State — Urban Meyer wound up in Ohio, still in search of a new Tim Tebow.

Iowa — The Gophers are leading the Big Ten Legends division. That can’t happen.

Nebraska — We’ll see if “Big Red” is really worth the hype this week.

Texas — New camera view from the football this weekend, available only on the Longhorn Network.

Texas A&M — Tyler Wilson blamed his team for the shutout to ‘Bama.

Only thing left to blame is a poorly made sandwich.

Guest pick: Kevin Jackson, ISU wrestling coach

Iowa State — 4–0 is calling our name. The team is healthy, the week off has made ‘Clones even hungrier. Go Cyclones!

West Virginia — West Virginia has skills, players off the chart. Baylor has big questions on D.

Michigan State — Must win for Michigan State.

Ohio State has not played anyone and has not looked good.

Minnesota — It’s a mustwin for Iowa, but I can’t pick ‘em.

Nebraska — Wisconsin has been suspect all year.

Texas — Texas is on their way onto top-10 ranking.

Texas A&M — If A&M can’t win this game, they are in trouble for the long haul in the SEC.

>>MORTON.p2 Burnham, at one point in fall training camp about finding a spot on the depth chart for that upcoming year.

“I said: ‘Hey if you would give me a look, I can take a spot,’” Morton said. “I can work into your depth chart on one of your teams. I told them that and they kind of brushed it off like he was any other walk-on guy trying to get on the field.”

At the practice after talking to Burnham, Morton said he played “extremely well” by making plays, executing blocks and tackling soundly.

Three games into the season, Morton finally made the depth chart and found his way onto the kickoff team against Kansas State, and it all escalated from there.

Morton finished his redshirt sophomore season with eight tackles.

Then a year went by, and he made two starts and finished his redshirt sophomore Burham campaign with 19 tackles and a forced fumble.

Finally, at the end of fall training camp, Morton believed he was at the point where he was in position to earn a scholarship.

He said it was after a practice when ISU coach Paul Rhoads would give away scholarships during training camp. Morton said that at this point they had already given away one or two, so he believed he wouldn’t receive one.

“It was at the very end of practice when he called everyone up like he does every day and he went to give his postpractice speech,” Morton said with a big smile. “The very last

thing he said, I forget the exact wording, but he awarded us a scholarship, and everybody was excited about it.

He called our names out and said: ‘You’ve got yourself a scholarship.’

“It was the most memorable moment of my Iowa State career.”

Last year, his third year on the depth chart and first as a scholarship Division I athlete, Morton earned Iowa State’s Jim Doran Award as the team’s outstanding performer on special teams. He led the team in special teams tackles, forced a fumble and recovered another one.

Now the defensive tackles coach, Burnham always knew Morton was one of those “special teams kind of guys.”

“The guys we’re looking for on special teams, you’ve got to be a little bit nutty, I mean you really do,” Burnham said.

“There’s so much space between these collisions and the speed that gets built up; not many guys are going to embrace that process or embrace that role. He’s one of those guys where every time you looked up, you couldn’t help but notice the intensity that he played with.”

Morton roomed with ISU running back Jeff Woody early in his ISU career.

Woody, like Burnham, knew Morton was that special type of player who could thrive on special teams with the mentality he possesses.

“To be great at special teams, especially kickoff and punt, you have to be a little off-kilter — in a good way,” Woody said. “Why would you ever want to run full speed into someone that’s bigger than you are? He’s intelligent, and he’s got just the right amount of crazy to make him a great special teams player.”

Now the idea of Morton being a mere walk-on is an afterthought. Morton went from being one of the “energy guys” to leading every special teams package aside from the field goal unit.

Burnham has seen a lot from Morton in his time at Iowa State. He noted a few

plays Morton has made throughout his career that have given him positive memories of coaching.

Burnham cited the fumble he was in on at the memorable upset of Nebraska three years ago and specifically described another scene at the 2009 Insight Bowl — Morton was on kickoff coverage at the beginning of the game and was one of the first guys down the field to lay out the Gopher returner.

“There’s things I hope that are going to flash across my head on my deathbed,” Burnham said. “I remember against Minnesota in our bowl game on one of our first kickoffs and he set the tone.

Coming off the field he was punch-drunk. He didn’t know where he was, but that’s one of those things, as long as I live, plays like that. ... Morton will always be one of those positive memories of coaching.

“He’s fearless.”

Editorial

Big 12 play stands tougher than Big Ten We’ve all heard the arguments, we’ve all drawn comparisons, we’ve all emitted an arrogance with them.

Cyclone fans will contend that their team has the toughest schedule between it and Iowa, while Hawkeye fans will tout the merits of their conference slate as they puff up their chests in an effort to outdo the other.

With all due respect to the confusion their names induce — the Big 12 has 10 teams and the Big Ten has 12 — we’re here to tell you three reasons why the Big 12 is better — and tougher — than the Big Ten. 1. Numbers don’t lie, the Big 12 has been the more dominant conference.

Heading into conference play, the Big 12 has seven unbeaten teams (TCU, Kansas State, Baylor, Iowa State, Texas, Texas Tech, West Virginia) this season while the Big

Ten only has three (Minnesota, Northwestern, Ohio State).

Granted, the Big Ten has one more non-conference game since it has two more teams than the Big 12. However, those non-conference games saw 13 losses to teams such as Virginia, Louisiana Tech and Ball State.

Through the first four weeks, the Big 12 has a winning percentage of .844 (27-5), while the Big Ten’s is .717 (33-13).

The quality of competition also differs between both conferences.

From 2008-2011, the Big 12 finished with more 10-win teams than the Big Ten three of the four years — the only exception coming in 2009 when the Big 12 had two (Texas, Nebraska) and the Big Ten had four (Ohio State, Iowa, Penn State, Wisconsin).

Nebraska has since jumped ship

220 Main

from the Big 12 and joined the Big Ten starting last season, but the 10-team Big 12 still had more 10-win teams than the 12-team Big Ten. The Big 12 has an overall 12-5 record against Big Ten teams since 2008 — including an 8-2 mark in bowl games.

If that last fact isn’t enough of an indication of the Big 12’s dominance, then we don’t know what is.

2. In what the Big 12 has lost with the departure of four teams, it has made up for with its two new additions.

The Big 12 lost four teams — Nebraska and Colorado in 2010 and Texas A&M and Missouri in 2011 — but is still going strong after adding Texas Christian (TCU) and West Virginia.

The Big Ten got Nebraska, which was a big pickup to fill it out to 12

teams.

However, while Nebraska has remained consistent, it has not made it to a BCS bowl since 2001 — a 37-14 loss to Miami (Fla.) in the Rose Bowl, which served as the national title game that year.

Since that game was played, West Virginia has won three BCS bowls (2005 Sugar Bowl, 2007 Fiesta Bowl, 2011 Orange Bowl) and TCU has won one (2010 Rose Bowl).

While the overall reputations of TCU and West Virginia may not stack up against the four national championships that Nebraska has, their recent success makes them viable — maybe even superior — replacements at this time.

3. This season, all 10 Big 12 teams rank in the top 50 toughest schedules while the Big Ten only has six.

According to Phil Steele’s

www.amessilversmithing.com

232-0080

strength of schedules for 2012, the Big 12 has six teams in the top 25 toughest schedules while the Big Ten has four — only Michigan (4) is ranked in the top 20.

Just above Michigan is Iowa State, which has the third-toughest schedule in the nation. Iowa?

Nowhere near the top 50.

The combined record from last season for Iowa State’s opponents in 2012 is 95-57 (.625), which outranks Iowa’s opponents’ combined record of 87-68 (.561).

Hawkeye fans might have been under the assumption Cyclone fans saw Sept. 8’s Cy-Hawk game as a bowl game.

However, the reality is Iowa State has a much tougher schedule that doesn’t include the likes

That, coupled with a disparaged Penn State team that has been ravaged by penalty-free transfers and a four-year bowl ban following NCAA sanctions handed down from the Jerry Sandusky scandal, makes for an even easier slate for the Hawkeyes this season.

While Iowa is almost a lock for a bowl game this season — if it can even make it through Big Ten play — Iowa State will have a much tougher road ahead of it just to reach a similar outcome.
