ISU Bucket List Q&A | Iowa State Daily | 9 Start here for the Daily’s list of things to do before you graduate...

Q&A with Jessica Opoien Jessica Opoien is the editor-inchief of the Iowa State Daily for the 2010-2011 school year.

What is your favorite memory of college?

Just one? I’d like to think my favorite college memories have yet to be made — mafter all, I’m only halfway through the experience.

So far, though — and I know this seems like a cop-out answer — my favorite memories are just about any of the times I’ve spent with friends.

Those memories include football and basketball games, road trips, concerts, late-night study sessions, late-night study distractions, movie nights; you get the picture. I’ve met some great people here, and I think it’s the people, not the activities, who make the memories great.

When did you know what you wanted to do with your life?

When did it click, when did learning become fun?

To be honest, I don’t remember a specific moment or decision to go into journalism.

Throughout high school, and possibly before that, I just knew I was going to be a journalist. I’ve always been passionate about writing and reading; in high school, I took my interest in politics to a much higher level.

I turned into sort of a news junkie.

I only considered going to colleges with journalism programs, and now that I’ve taken journalism classes and gained some field experience through my time at the Iowa State Daily and an internship with CNN, I know it’s the right path for me.

At the end of the day, it comes down to the fact freedom of the press and good journalism are essential to democracy. I feel very strongly that I can make a meaningful impact by helping to educate and inform the public.

How did you get where you are now in your career?

I started working at the Daily during my first month at Iowa State, as an opinion columnist.

Shortly after I started, I was promoted to assistant opinion editor, and when the opinion editor graduated in December, I earned his position for the second semester of my freshman year — a contributing factor to the three to four hours of sleep per night I get.

I continued to write columns over the summer, and when I came back

to Ames in the fall of my sophomore year, I worked as a news reporter, covering the administration beat.

I continued to cover that beat all year, addOpoien ing the title and duties of news editor for the second semester.

Most recently, over the summer, I interned in New York City with CNN’s Money Unit, which was an amazing experience.

I’m also entering my second year as secretary of the Leo Mores Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists and as a member of the ISU First Amendment Day Committee — and of course, I’ve taken lots of journalism classes.

Those are the tangible steps I’ve taken, but the real reason I am at this point in my career, serving as editorin-chief of the Daily, is that I’m madly, passionately, head-over-heels for journalism. I’ve found the thing that I love to do, and taken every opportunity I can to do it.

Describe your job. What are your duties?

As editor-in-chief of the Daily, I oversee the editorial direction of Iowa State’s independent, student-run newspaper. I work with news, sports, opinion and visuals editors, designers, copy editors and the staffs that work for those sections.

In addition, I work with the Daily’s advertising and public relations departments, along with the Daily’s professional staff. I’m responsible for everything from determining whether or not to run a story, to organizing the Daily’s budget.

What is your favorite thing about your job?

There’s no way I can choose just one thing. The thing that makes this job so wonderful is that I work with a fantastic group of people who share a passion for journalism with me. And, going hand-in-hand with that, the best thing about my job is I’m surrounded with journalism all the time.

I wouldn’t be able to do this job if I didn’t wholeheartedly love everything it’s about, because it creeps into every area of my life. I can’t flip the journalism switch on and off, so it’s good to have a job that requires me to keep it on at all times.

What was your proudest accomplishment of the last year?

That’s a tough question. I think it’s a toss-up between being named editor-in-chief of the Daily for the 2010-2011 academic year, and being hired as a summer intern with CNN’s Money Unit.

What is your biggest goal for next year?

Well, I wrote a 14-page strategic plan detailing my plans and goals for the Daily when I applied to be editorin-chief, so, to be honest, I’m not sure where to begin. The most important goal is to help, teach and encourage all of the Daily’s employees to be better journalists.

I’m fortunate to work with an amazing, talented staff and I’ll do everything I can to make sure they benefit from their time with the Daily, and that their experience is a positive one.

What do you think is the biggest issue currently facing students? What can we do about it?

The biggest issue students face right now, in my opinion, is money.

Having enough money to pay for college while holding onto enough to live, paying off loans, finding a job that will pay the bills after college; these situations aren’t getting any easier. I don’t know the magic answer to the average college student’s money woes, but I do know we can all stand to learn a little more about finances.

What are you most looking forward to in the next year?

After spending my summer far from home, I’m looking forward to spending time back in the Midwest, closer to my family and friends.

What are your must-do and must-see things for students?

What does a student have to do before they graduate? Before they finish their freshman year?

I think the “must-do” is probably a little different for everyone, but here are a few ideas that I’ve enjoyed.

Cheer on the football team from the front row of Jack Trice, and do the same for the basketball teams in Cyclone Alley. Visit Ada Hayden and Ledges State Park.

See a show at the Maintenance Shop. Participate in Veishea activities. Do the “Cyclone Power” chant and Cowbell — if you don’t know what Cowbell is, talk to your nearest ISU Cyclone Football ‘Varsity’ Marching Band member.

What is your favorite thing about your job?

The job of mayor brings new challenges each day, What do you think is the biggest issue currently facing students?

What can we do about it?

I am sure that varies from individual to individual.

I would hope every individual would make every minute at Iowa State count.

What are you most looking forward to next year?

Getting acquainted with new students coming to town.

Q&A with the ISU provost Elizabeth Hoffman is executive vice president and provost for Iowa State.

How did you get where you are now in your career?

I had a very traditional academic path, but I moved around a lot. From Caltech, I started as an assistant professor of economics at Northwestern.

Three years later, I moved to Purdue and was promoted to associate professor with tenure two years later.

For family reasons, I moved to the University of Wyoming after four years at Purdue. I was promoted to full professor shortly after moving.

After a short stay in Wyoming, I was recruited to the University of Arizona, which was then the best place in the world to do the kind of research I did.

While there, the dean of the college of business and public administration recruited me to be associate dean and director of the MBA program.

Four years later, Iowa State recruited me to be dean of liberal arts and sciences, and four years after that, the University of Illinois at Chicago recruited me to be provost.

Three years later, the Regents of the University of Colorado recruited me to be system president, a post I held from 2000-2005, when I stepped down over a first amendment controversy that later earned me Champion of the First Amendment from the Greenlee School.

In 2006, I was recruited to return to Iowa State to be provost, starting January 2007.

Describe your job. What are

your duties?

I am the chief academic officer and budget officer of the university.

All the deans, as well as two vice presiHoffman dents and the chief information officer, report to me. All academic programs, all academic appointments and promotions, and any academic reorganizations have to be approved through my office.

As chief budget officer, I chair the University Budget Advisory Committee and make recommendation to the president’s budget cabinet on all aspects of the university’s budget. I lead the budget development process.

I also represent the academic aspects of the university to the Board of Regents through the Council of Provosts, which I chair.

What is your favorite thing about your job?

I like solving problems, both personnel-related and budget-related.

I enjoy the process of strategic planning and implementation. I also like the fact that I see all academic aspects of the university.

I like to know about all the research and intellectual activity.

What was your proudest accomplishment of the last year?

Getting us through one of the worst budget times in history with a strong university, record enrollment, record research funding and a balanced bud-

get.

What is your biggest goal for next year?

Getting the new strategic plan through the Board of Regents, beginning implementation and continuing our positive momentum in tough budget times. I’m also recruiting a new dean of veterinary medicine and a new vice president for extension and outreach.

What do you think is the biggest issue currently facing students? What can we do about it?

I think the economy is the biggest problem. The recent economic decline and current uncertainty affects the university budget and thus our ability to recruit and retain faculty and provide the programs students want. It affects the affordability of college, both because parents and students may have financial difficulties and because of tuition and fees. At the end of college, it affects students’ ability to get jobs.

What are you most looking forward to in the next year?

I always look forward to new students and faculty coming to campus in August. Every year there is a sense of renewal as students and faculty return and new students and faculty get oriented. I also always look forward to graduation. Graduates are always excited about their new lives, even in these tough economic times.

I hope we will have a year without further budget cuts.

14 | Iowa State Daily | Q&A

Before you graduate...

Cheer in Cyclone Alley.

Welcome Back 2010

Q&A with the GSB president Luke Roling is president of the Government of the Student Body and a senior in chemical engineering.

How did you get where you are now in your career?

I have been able to rely heavily on the friendships and connections I have made from my first days at college to get me through all the obstacles that have arisen up to my senior year in college. I’ve been lucky to have found great friends at college, who are always honest and supportive when I need it most. Hard work and self-discipline are important, but having others makes the job a lot easier.

Describe your job.

What are your duties?

I serve as the chief representative of the student body to the university, as well as city, state and federal governments. I am responsible for the oversight of all projects and affairs of GSB. I have the privilege to serve students on many university committees. I am responsible for setting the direction for “big-picture” initiatives undertaken by GSB. What is your favorite thing about your job?

I love meeting and interacting with people, and this position allows me to do just that. Not only do I get to interact with administrators and legislators, but I also get to be directly tied in to the most important issues facing students.

The most rewarding thing about this position, so far, has been the opportunities I’ve had to meet with others who are students just like me, who have concerns and ideas for our university. I’m truly proud to be a leader of our Cyclone nation.

What was your proud-

est accomplishment of the last year?

As soon as we took office in Roling April, Vice President Nate Dobbels and I made it clear that we were going to improve GSB’s connection to other student organizations.

Though we’ve only been in office for a little over three months, I’ve greatly enjoyed the success of our early efforts of our “Justice League” of councils, as well as our enhanced cooperation with the student body leadership of the University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa. Watching these connections flourish has made me extremely proud to be a leader at Iowa State.

What is your biggest goal for next year?

I truly hope to improve communication and collaboration on all levels in the upcoming year. We have so many opportunities before us to work together as student organizations on the many great projects we accomplish every year.

We also have great opportunities to work with other student governments and share ideas to make all our campuses better places.

GSB will place a large emphasis this coming year on improving not only these collaborations but also dayto-day interactions with all students, the driving force behind the success of our university.

What do you think is the biggest issue currently facing students?

What can we do about it?

Student debt remains a huge issue for students leaving Iowa State. Though we are slowly making prog-

ress, our graduating seniors graduate with debt loads among the highest in the nation. Our efforts to combat this will require cooperation from all fronts. GSB will be continuing our push with the state legislature for increased funding to universities, as well as bringing about enhanced financial literacy for students. It is a responsibility of all students to make sure we’re using our financial aid and other resources in a wise manner to avoid falling into the trap of high debt.

What are you most looking forward to in the next year?

From a student leader’s perspective, I’m most looking forward to the day-today workings of student government. I’ve always

Q&A with Micheal Owen

[

Michael Owen is president of the Faculty Senate and a professor of agronomy.

How did you get where you are now in your career?

Through the hard and significant efforts of many people: my parents; my undergraduate advisor, George Knaphus; my major professors, David Staniforth and Fred Slife; my colleagues through the years; and of course my wife and children.

Describe your job. What are your duties?

My job is currently made up of several responsibilities: the component of Faculty Senate president, my extension responsibilities, the research and teaching and mentoring students and service to Iowa State and the community.

Each is prominent and important, but the focus changes depending on the particular day, the task and the

deadline.

What is your favorite thing about your job?

The mentoring of students, working with growers in Iowa, and the opportunity to add to the scholarly literature.

dents of Iowa State, and survive intact.

Owen

What was your proudest accomplishment of the last year?

I participated on a committee in the National Research Council and National Academy of Sciences and coauthored a report “Impact of Biotechnology on Farm-Level Economics and Sustainability”.

What is your biggest goal for next year?

As Faculty Senate president, my goal is to support faculty initiatives and help them better serve the stu-

What do you think is the biggest issue currently facing students? What can we do about it?

Student debt. Seek out all opportunities for scholarships. Iowa State has excellent support that helps students find scholarship opportunities.

While the individual scholarships may not be large, each one will be helpful.

There are also many opportunities on campus to work with professors hourly.

Again, these jobs will be supplemental and need to be balanced with attention to academics. However, often these jobs will provide experiences that will be extremely valuable in making future decisions.

What are you most looking forward to in the next year?

When did you know what you wanted to do with your life?

When did it click, when did learning become fun?

I’ve always loved learning and still do.

I didn’t decide on my current career path until my senior year of college; in January.

My buddies were all interviewing for jobs and I was applying to graduate school.

How did you get where you are now in your career?

I’ve always worked at colleges or universities.

My masters and doctorate are both in higher education disciplines.

Describe your job.

What are your duties?

For a full listing of all of her duties, check out the following website: http://www.dso.iastate. edu/docs/DSOMissionStatement.pdf What is your favorite thing about your job?

Providing support and being involved with the full range of students and student issues, from students in crisis to dynamic student leaders.

What was your proudest accomplishment of the last year?

As a staff, being able to provide support for so many different crises, from H1N1 response to victims of sexual misconduct to student deaths.

2402 Lincoln Way

On the Corner of Lincoln Way and Stanton

What is your biggest goal for next year?

To continue to con-

tribute to a meaningful collegiate experience for our growing student body.

Somerville

What do you think is the biggest issue currently facing students?

What can we do about it?

I think the biggest issue currently facing students is the same as it has been for years-reflective, responsible and conscientious decision making.

Too many of student’s decisions are made by default, by peer groups and by lack of foresight.

Individual students are smarter than you sometimes let yourselves believe.

What are you most looking forward to in the next year?

The continued growth of our greek community.

The continued construction of the State Gym addition.

Hiring of new staff in Multicultural Student Affairs.

The completion of the Sloss House renovation.

What are your mustdo and must-see things for students?

What does a student have to do before they graduate?

Before they finish their freshman year?

Actually take a stroll around campus.

It’s actually quite pretty, and I think we don’t always notice that when we’re bustling from one building to the next.

My favorite is in spring when all the trees are in bloom.

Q&A | Iowa State Daily | 19

Q&A with Steve Schainker Steve Schainker is the city manager of Ames.

When did you know what you wanted to do with your life? When did it click? When did learning become fun?

My first job in high school was as a camp counselor for the University City, Mo., Parks and Recreation Department. It was just a summer job, but I met the city manager and learned more about the role of local government. In college, at the University of Connecticut, I majored in political science.

I was required to take classes outside my major, and that was a great opportunity to learn more about other areas in which I had interests. I recommend students make the best use of their electives — especially those students who are unsure of what they want to do professionally. In the end, I was torn between a career in law or government.

Eventually, I decided to earn my master’s degree in public administration at Indiana University and start a career in city government.

How did you get to where you are now in your career?

When I came to Ames nearly 31 years ago, it was never with the intention that this where I’d spend the majority of my career.

I had an internship in Webster Groves, Mo. I followed the internship with my first job as a budget systems analyst with the City of Kansas City, Mo. When I had the opportunity to come to Ames as the assistant city manager, I jumped at the chance. We were attracted to Ames because of the quality of life it offered, the great neighborhoods, parks, and schools.

Of course, Iowa State only added to the richness of the

community.

At the time, moving to Ames was just one more step in my career. Three Schainker years later, I became city manager.

As our kids grew older, my wife and I continued to be very happy living in Ames. Both of us enjoy challenging, stimulating careers and we continue to love living in Ames. It’s a very good fit for us.

Describe your job.

What are your duties?

The city manager carries out the day-to-day responsibilities of running the city organization.

I oversee 18 departments and divisions including Public Works, Water and Pollution Control, Parks and Recreation, Finance, Ames Electric Services, Ames Police, Ames Fire, and Planning and Housing.

I report directly to the Ames City Council, which is the policy-making arm of government. The City Council makes laws, ordinances, and policy, and it is my job to make sure all of these are carried out or enforced. Really, local government works very much like a business. I serve as the chief executive officer. I ensure the “business” runs smoothly, and the council plays the same role as the board of directors.

What is your favorite thing about your job?

My job is different every day.

I don’t just focus on one problem or work with just one department. I work on a variety of issues that require partnering with other people, other levels of government, and other community organizations.

I enjoy the diversity and the challenges.

What was your proudest accomplishment of the last year?

This has been a great summer for Ames residents because we opened the Furman Aquatic Center over Memorial Day weekend.

The facility represents a great partnership with Iowa State, since it was constructed on university property. The aquatic center is close to campus, and I encourage every student to visit. The facility features tube slides, a drop slide, a lazy river and a 50-meter pool. It’s a fantastic community asset and lots of fun for all ages.

What is your biggest goal for next year?

The focus of my position is implementing the goals of the Ames City Council.

The Ames City Council has identified six major goals: • Go green to promote environmental sustainability • Promote economic development • Create and promote a community vision • Rejuvenate Campustown • Strengthen and protect our neighborhoods for a united Ames • Further streamline and improve government processes What do you think is the biggest issue currently facing students?

The rising cost of education resulting in the increase average debt-load of ISU students, has always been a concern. There’s no doubt it’s getting more expensive to attend a university these days. But another concern is the current economy and career

prospects for graduates.

It’s a very competitive climate out there for jobs, and students need to do whatever they can differentiate themselves in job interview.

They need to do well in school, take advantage of internships, and get relevant job experience to stand out. Even if it’s a unpaid internship or a volunteer experience, students need to be thinking about what kind of candidate they will be for a job opening when they graduate.

What are you looking forward to in the next year?

We live in a great community, and we have been recognized for the wonderful quality of life we enjoy here. Recently, CNN and Money.com noted Ames on its top 10 “Best Places to Live” in the United States survey. Through focusing on the City Council goals, I’m looking forward to making Ames even better.

These are exciting times, and we are pursuing many new initiatives. We need to keep our momentum moving forward.

What are must-do/ most-see things for students?

That is a excellent question, and I have a very long list. Here is a partial list of the things ISU students should absolutely do while they are living in Ames: • Walk, jog, or bike around Ada Hayden Heritage Lake in north Ames.

• Swim at the Furman Aquatic Center • Enjoy miles and miles of Ames’ bike paths • Play a game of disc golf at the Carroll Marty Disc Golf • Play nine holes at Homewood Golf Course

Q&A with Jeff Johnson Jeff Johnson is the president of the ISU Alumni Association.

When did you know what you wanted to do with your life? When did it click? When did learning become fun?

Following the first semester of my junior year.

I was on the school’s student admissions committee. This organization allowed me to give campus tours, talk to new families and help incoming students with their schedules and the adjustments.

One semester later, I was lucky to be asked by my university president to consider a career in higher education.

The rest is history. I’ve always loved learning, and I love reading. Learning is really something I continue to enjoy today.

How did you get where you are now in your career?

Simply put,hard work. Your reputation really does matter, and people

do pay attention to your attitude. But I also have been blessed to be surrounded by good people who have believed in my passion and appreciated my work.

underway at the new ISU Alumni Center. Like the building, the gardens around the center will showcase ISU history, traditions and artifacts.

Johnson

Describe your job — what are your duties?

I am president and CEO of the ISU Alumni Association. In this role, I am responsible for working with campus colleagues, my staff, our board of directors and a number of volunteers to design and deliver programs and services that keep ISU alumni, students and friends connected to each other and involved in keeping Iowa State’s campus beautiful, faculty, staff, and students resourced, and programs relevant.

What was your proudest accomplishment of the last year?

Getting the landscaping project

What is your biggest goal for next year?

Involving a greater number of ISU students, alumni and friends in a lifetime relationship with Iowa State.

The more folks we can get involved with ISU goals and priorities, the better we help make the university, this community, the state, our nation and the world.

What do you think is the biggest issue currently facing students? What can we do about it?

Finances. We need to partner with students to help them understand the real truth about budgeting, saving and spending.

These are life skills. If they can learn to value these skills now, coupled with their solid Iowa State education, they will be set for life.

Facelift for Campustown

By James.Heggen @iowastatedaily.com Campustown may be getting a face lift.

LANE4 Property Group was selected as the master developer for the project in April.

The company is five years old and currently in the planning process of the project.

LANE4 visited Ames in mid June and held public input sessions with different members of the Ames and university communities to get a sense of what people wanted to see in Campustown.

There was an overall public meeting for open discussion and input as well as a number of sessions held with several different, specific groups from the city and university, including: uni-

versity administration, neighborhood groups, business owners, student groups, faculty, public safety and student affairs.

The overall public brainstorming meeting had about 60 people in attendance.

Many voiced their satisfaction with Stomping Grounds because of its attraction by students, faculty and members from the Ames community.

Peter Orazem, city councilman and professor of economics, summed up his feelings for the area at the meeting.

He said he had been an Ames resident for 28 years and that Campustown had been on a “downhill trajectory” for some time, but thought it has a lot of potential.

“I, for one, think Campustown is critical for the future of the town, the future of the university and our ability

to attract people from other states to come to Iowa State,” he said.

There was also a desire for a some kind of grocery or drug store in the Campustown area.

LANE4 is currently in the process of analyzing the data, but Hunter Harris, director of development, said at the meetings in June that there will be more opportunities for the community at large to give input about the project.

The company entered a three-party resolution with the city and university in May which spelled out obligations for each party to comply with for 180 days while LANE4 studied the project.

At the end of the 180 days from the time the agreement was signed, it will be decided whether or not to move forward with the project.

ISU researcher critiques spill

By Katherine.Klingseis @iowastatedaily.com During the past four months, news agencies across the globe have been covering the BP oil spill.

The oil leak was finally plugged by a tight-fitted cap July 15. However, the cap is only a temporary fix.

Bob Steffes, research engineer at Iowa State, has followed the spill from the beginning. Steffes graduated from Colorado State University with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering.

After college, Steffes spent 17 years at Dowell Schlumberger as an “oil patch” engineer. During his stint as an oil patch engineer, Steffes worked on many oil rigs around the world.

When he first began at the company, Steffes worked on tasks such as fixing piping connections and pumping cement into the pipes. As time went by, the company entrusted Steffes with more complicated projects.

“Later in years, I was considered a technical engineer,” Steffes said.

“When I got to the Middle East, I was the division technical engineer that would be living in Dubai or Abu Dhabi and covering several countries around there.”

From his experience at Dowel Schlumberger, Steffes knows the workings of an oil rig, and knows how catastrophes like the British Petroleum oil spill can happen.

The Deepwater Horizon, the oil rig where the blowout occurred, had many problems prior to the blowout, Steffes explained.

“I think in [the Deepwater Horizon] case, from what we hear, there were a lot of corners cut short,” Steffes said.

“First of all, I understand that the rig was 45 days or so behind schedule. It’s costing [BP] about $500,000 a day, so they were obviously pushing to get off this well.”

The Deepwater Horizon also experienced loss circulation. Loss circulation occurs when mud, which is used to offset the pressure of the oil coming up the well, is lost into the earth instead of coming back up the pipe. Loss circulation has the potential to eventually cause a blowout, which happened on the Deepwater Horizon.

Blowouts occur when pressurized natural gas and oil flow up the drill pipe to the surface and then ignite.

Since the Deepwater Horizon was already behind schedule, BP pushed the crew to seal off the well more quickly than usual.

“When [the Deepwater Horizon crew] finished their last casing, they assumed that the cement would be in the right place to isolate the gap between the two casings,” Steffes said.

“It’s a calculated volume and, assuming that they don’t have loss circulation, it would fill the volume, but apparently with loss circulation, they didn’t have enough cement, so the joint that should have been cemented shut was not cemented shut.”

The cement that was supposed to plug the well instead flowed into the earth. BP should have used centralizers, which are used to make a strong, 360-degree cement seal to make sure the seal was strong enough to hold.

By doing a cement bond log test, BP could have found out the cement was not where it was supposed to be. “[A bond log] is a test that tells them if they have cement behind the pipe, outside of the pipe, if it’s really there or it’s not there, and they did not run the bond log test,” Steffes said.

Another fatal move was when they were about to move the oil rig off the well.

Instead of having heavy mud offset the pressure of the up-flowing oil, the crew

replaced it with sea water.

Combining all of the risks taken, the Deepwater Horizon was only waiting to explode.

“The bottom line is that the cementing job failed on the bottom, the gas came through between pipes and worked itself up to the top, and from what I understand, some casing seal broke at the top and allowed this gas to get into the main well stream, and then it came up into the drilling rig,” Steffes said.

“They tried to shut the [blowout preventer] off, which should have been their last safety valve, but that did not work and the gas got into the mud room, and with big engines running [in the room], there was a big explosion.”

BOPs are located at the top of the well head at the sea floor. They are specially designed valves that are supposed to, if working correctly, prevent blowouts.

They are typically independent from everything else on the rig, and usually see GULF on PAGE 37

Gadget use on the road now illegal

By Paige.Godden @iowastatedaily.com On July 1, the texting ban, House File 2456, became Iowa law.

It is illegal for people under 18 to use electronic devices while driving and those over 18 to send text messages unless “the motor vehicle is at a complete stop off the traveled portion of the roadway,” according to the bill.

The bill lists the ban as a secondary offense for adults, which means you have to be caught for another offense such as speeding, running a stop light or improper lane changes before you get cited for texting, said Robert Bowers, ISU associate director of Public Safety.

Teens can be cited for the violation without another cause for being pulled over, according to the bill.

Bower said teens can have their iPods playing as long as the devices are in

some sort of dock or are directly connected to a radio but “you can’t be playing on your [Nintendo] DS or listening to your iPod directly.”

Bower said he is unsure how the secondary offense is going to be enforced.

“We can’t stop them initially for being on their phones ... we’ll probably have to look at the phone activity to see what they were doing.”

For the first year of the ban, only warnings will be issued. Bower said warnings do not go on your record with the Department of Transportation.

After the first year drivers can be fined $30 for a violation, and up to $1,000 for causing a serious accident while texting.

Bower said Iowa State does not keep statistics on accidents caused by cell phones, but these incidents are relatively low because the speed limit on campus is only 25 mph.

Student Specials Available!

Beginning July 1, reading, typing and sending text messages while driving became illegal for adults. Iowans under 18 are banned from using cell phones for any communication while driving. File photo illustration: Leah Hansen/Iowa State Daily

Cyclone Cinema opens in spring After much deliberation students will have a movie theater all their own

By Katherine.Klingseis @iowastatedaily.com

The Cyclone Cinema will be up and running in spring semester, not fall, as had been planned.

“Optimistically, if [the lease] gets approved in September, I hope that we could get a show or two in at the very end of this fall semester,” said Luke Roling, president of the Government of the Student Body.

“I don’t know if that will be feasible, but definitely in the spring, definitely right away in January.”

Last summer, discussion arose about turning the old Varsity Theater, which closed in January 2009, into a student-focused theater. The GSB and the Campustown Student

Association were the driving forces behind the Cyclone Cinema.

“We realized that Roling maybe we could turn [the Varsity Theater] into a studentrun, and focused, theater,” Roling said.

The GSB passed the project in February with a vote of 28-2, approving $365,000 to be used to start the project.

“This summer, the project has gone through various steps to get to its final approval,” Roling said. “We at GSB can’t pick up a lease ourselves, we can’t sign GSB’s name on it. It needs the university’s name on

it, and, for the university to put its name on the lease, it needs approval by the Board of Regents.”

Initially, the GSB hoped to have the project on the docket for the June Board of Regents meeting. However, university officials asked for the project to be kept on hold for awhile.

Roling hopes the project will be discussed at the Sept. 18 Board of Regents meeting. After the lease is signed, crews will go in immediately to fix and remodel the building.

Depending upon how long remodeling takes, the Cyclone Cinema will open at the end of the fall semester or the beginning of the spring semester.

Roling also plans for the theater to be an opportuni-

ty for students to learn how to run and operate a theater.

The Cyclone Cinema will hire students to do numerous jobs around the theater.

While the project is somewhat stagnant at this point in time, Roling is hopeful the Cyclone Cinema will pick up momentum soon.

Roling said, “We are just kind of playing the ‘figureout-what’s-going-on’ game, and hopefully we will be making progress forward in the next month or so.”

Cybrids hit Ames streets

By Chelsea.Davis @iowastatedaily.com “Live cardinal and gold.

Ride green.”

CyRide’s fleet of 12 new Cybrids were revealed July 31. The new buses are the largest hybrid bus fleet in the state of Iowa, said Sheri Kyras, CyRide transit director.

Kyras said this is one step of many that will be taken to make CyRide’s service, building and vehicles greener.

“This is a unique transit system with a marriage between the university staff and students and the city transit system,” said Robert Anders, president of the Transit Board of Trustees.

Anders said the Cybrids will help reduce Ames’

“Transit by nature is more energy efficient,” Anders said.

He said when the driver brakes, the system will place power into a holding

system, which will then be used once the driver accelerates the bus.

CyRide began a biodiesel program in 2006, with 20 percent of their fuel being biodiesel.

The CyRide administration building became the

first Gold LEED certified building in the state of Iowa in 2008, which means it is “super efficient,” Anders said.

Also in 2008, CyRide implemented a program of green cleaning products and installed energy efficient lighting in its administration building.

Mayor Ann Campbell said CyRide, since its beginning in the 1980s, has always been focused on environmental sustainability.

Government of the Student Body Vice President Nate Dobbels went on to say that CyRide greatly helps out students.

“This is a major change for Iowa State and a positive change,” Dobbels said. “[CyRide buses] are utilized by every single student.”

Ames: Great place to be

By Katherine.Klingseis @iowastatedaily.com With its low unemployment rate, abundance of culture and diversity, superb recreational facilities and friendly people, Ames is no average city; it is extraordinary.

Before recent years, only Ames residents and a few others knew how wonderful Ames truly was. However, the rest of the nation has started to take notice. This month Ames was ranked the ninth best place to live in America.

During the past decade, Ames has been recognized by several magazines and websites. CareerBuilder. com ranked Ames the fifth best city for job seekers in 2006, and Forbes.com

Jeff Benson, Margaret Elbert, Nora Benson and Peter Benson have a picnic June 28 at Brookside Park. Ames was voted the ninth best place to live, according to CNNMoney.com. File photo: Leah Hansen/ Iowa State Daily

ranked Ames the sixth smartest city in America in 2008.

“As people are looking at different places in the country to live, to establish businesses, to raise their

children, hopefully [recognition] like this will be money in the bank for us,” said Mayor Ann Campbell.

This month, CNNMoney.com ranked Ames the ninth best place to live

in America. The website praises Ames for having an unemployment rate at a mere 4.3 percent.

“In a large part, Iowa State is the reason why Ames is ranked so highly [on the list] and one of the best places to live in America,” said Dan Culhane, president and CEO of the Ames Chamber of Commerce.

“You have stability when it comes to employment when you have a major institution like Iowa State.”

Employing 9,000 people, Iowa State helps Ames maintain its low unemployment rate in a turbulent economy. As a highly regarded research institution, Iowa State also attracts many educated people.

ISU education is a ‘Best Buy’

This year, Fiske named 45 institutions, 21 public and 24 private, as Best Buys. Fiske guide proves that the price and quality of a university do not always go hand in hand.

Best Buy schools fall into the inexpensive or moderate price category with four- or five-star academic ratings.

Institutions are not numerically ranked, rather assessed based on academic quality, social life and quality of life.

The Fiske Guide is au-

thored by New York Times education editor Edward B. Fiske.

“Love for Iowa State runs as deep as its Midwestern roots,” according to the guide. “Strong programs in engineering, business and agriculture attract students from around the globe ... these days, though, the liberal arts are just as popular, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is the largest of [Iowa State’s] seven colleges.”

Other observations about Iowa State: “history and tradition prevail,” “professors teach most classes” and “academic and career counseling draw praise, too, and advisors are ‘always readily available’ to help students.”

College of Engineering ranked in top 25

By Sarah.Haas @iowastatedaily.com The College of Engineering placed in the top 25 percent of all engineering graduate programs in the U.S. News & World Report’s 2011 list of America’s Best Graduate Schools.

Six of the college’s eight graduate programs are ranked in the top 20 among public universities.

Overall, the college ranks 45th, but ranks 25th among public universities.

In a statement, Balaji Narasimhan, associate dean of chemical and biological engineering, said, “Iowa State’s College of Engineering is supplying a steady stream of talented problem-solvers who are focused on innovation.

“Our attention to the major issues of today—renewable energy, safe food, clean water, sustainable environment, a sound infrastructure — means that our students will be providing solutions now and in coming decades.”

from PAGE 32 “We get a lot of educated people here to teach and work at the university, which helps at least with these rankings,” said Tom Wacha, first ward representative in the City Council.

“People tend to look at the percentage of people with higher education degrees and what not.”

The people who come to Iowa State also bring culture and diversity to a city that might otherwise have little of both.

“A major research institution, [and] a major athletic conference institution, tend to bring a high level of vibrancy to a community, [which] ultimately makes life pretty exceptional,” Culhane said.

Iowa State offers several artistic and cultural opportunities for Ames residents to take part in.

For instance, many mu-

sicians and performers come to Ames to perform at one or more of Iowa State’s venues.

“As an adult, I like [Ames] because it offers a lot of unique opportunities, yet it’s a pretty small scale,” said Matthew Goodman, at-large councilman in the City Council and co-owner of Fighting Burrito. “I don’t have to live in a city of 250,000 to enjoy art or music or good food.”

With 36 parks to choose from, Ames does not fail to cater to its nature-loving residents.

Ames also provides family-related facilities, such as bowling alleys, an ice skating rink and an aquatic center.

Ames provides families with an excellent school system. “[Ames is] very much concerned about education and opportunities for young people,” said Mary Kay Abbott, previous own-

er of Mary Kay Flowers and lifelong Ames resident. “I think we take a lot of pride in how the city takes care of our community.”

Although it is relatively small in size, Ames has many big city amenities, like an outstanding school system. These amenities are mixed with the city’s small town feel, making Ames a unique place to live.

“When you combine [how educated Ames residents are], which isn’t unique to college towns, with the good old Iowa charm of quality education and safe neighborhoods, low cost of living and, finally, the people, I think it’s a winning combination,” Wacha said.

The website specifically mentions the friendliness of Ames residents. The good old Iowa charm is ever-present in the city.

“I think it’s a very authentic and honest community,” Goodman said. “[The

city] is well attended by traditional, model people.”

Even though Ames is culturally diverse, Ames residents share common personality traits.

“It’s not just that people in Ames are friendly, because there are lots of communities in Iowa that are friendly and have that mentality; but it’s clear, in my professional job, that people here work hard and they care about what they do, are very good at what they do and they want to continue to improve themselves,” Wacha said.

Right now, Ames residents are celebrating the city’s success and the recognition it has received.

However, city officials know there is always room for city improvement.

Wacha hopes to attract more retail in Ames. More businesses would lead to more jobs and more sale taxes, which would help with funding.

ISU students help with 4-H at State Fair

By Kaleb.Warnock @iowastatedaily.com

ISU students will be helping out at the 4-H building at this year’s Iowa State Fair. The fair is currently employing ISU interns to organize over 3,800 exhibits presented by young students from all over the state.

4-H is a youth program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture intended to educate young people through experimentation and the knowledge from agricultural institutions like Iowa State. Although it is intended for young people from fourth grade to high school seniors, Iowa State also has a collegiate 4-H that is actively involved in youth activities and the Iowa State Fair.

Many of the interns have agricultural backgrounds or are former 4-H members.

However, they are employing interns from other fields as well in order to help organize the many different projects that will be on display this year.

Courtney Determan, junior in agriculture edu-

cation, is responsible for helping the kids have a good time, so she is looking for all the help she can get for this year’s fair.

“A lot of our volunteers come from high school students and current 4-H members … we’re really trying to reach out to different people who maybe don’t have as much experience at the fair,” Determan said.

“You don’t really have to have experience at the fair, we’re just trying to reach out to more people.”

For instance, 4-H is employing interns from the Apparel and Merchandising Department. 4-H has unique involvement in fashion design and marketing.

ISU students have been involved through education programs that address topics like shopping smart and creative design.

Members of the 4-H will be presenting their apparel designs at the fair this year, but will also be competing at a pre-fair competition at Merle Hay Mall in Des Moines.

The competition at Merle Hay Mall Aug. 12-14 determined the winners for the state competition.

from PAGE 25 operated by highly pressurized tanks. If there is a sudden change of pressure, the pressure from the tanks will go down and cause the it to close. “[The tanks] operate through a hydraulic system, and there may have been a leak in a hydraulic system,” Steffes said.

If oil leaked out of the hydraulics system, there may not have been enough force to close the BOP. Equally likely, the batteries powering the controls could have failed.

“Some of this is electronic; there is a panic button powered by batteries,” Steffes said.

“The batteries there should always be alive, so if you hit the panic button, the batteries should send a signal someplace to close the [BOP].”

However, this did not close the BOP, so April 20 the Deepwater Horizon had a blowout and an explosion.

BP reported a leak of 1,000 barrels of oil per day four days later. BP announced a cap was placed over the largest of the leaks May 7.

“One of the first [efforts to stop the leak] was with a large funnel cap and that didn’t work because the gas and the sea water created an icy-like slush, hydrate, and plugged up the funnel completely,” Steffes said.

After the first cap didn’t work, BP began doing a process called “top kill.” “[A top kill is] pumping drilling mud into the well head, or the BOP, but, keep in mind, as they are pumping this fluid into the well head, it has two ways to go,” Steffes said. ”One way is down the well to cause the blowout to stop and reverse, but the other possibility is for the fluid to fly up and out of the system, which is already broken.”

BP pumped mud into the well for 10 hours. The force of mother nature was

News | Iowa State Daily | 37

too strong and the mud came flying back out of the well. The top kill plan was ruined.

BP decided to build two pipes that are currently pumping oil to ships. Robots removed the nonfunctional cap July 11, and replaced it with a more tightly-fitted cap July 15. As of the first week of August, the cap was stopping the oil from escaping, but it is only a temporary solution.

Two relief wells are drilled near the leaking well. The two will be connected to the bottom. BP hopes the two relief wells will permanently stop the leak.

The loss of time, money and lives due to this oil spill could have been prevented.

Steffes does not blame the spill on one particular person, but a multitude of different people.

“Our federal inspectors were not on the ball, BP inspectors were not on the ball, some people on the rig, depending on the chain of command, took risks and made mistakes,” Steffes said.

Steffes believes the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, formerly named the Mineral Management Services, should have noticed and acted on the safety violations on the Deepwater Horizon.

“Was our federal agency watching the way they were supposed to?” Steffes asked.

“I would question that.”

In order to save money, BP pushed the crew on the Deepwater Horizon to finish the well at a faster rate than they were used to. Hurdling safety regulations, BP took many risks in finishing the well. The risks did not pay off; they caused the worst oil spill in U.S. history.

“We have many drilling rigs working in the same condition; some are in deeper water, some are deeper wells and they didn’t have the problem,” Steffes said. “This one did.”

Safety should be priority

By James.Heggen @iowastatedaily.com Be safe.

Ames Cmdr. Mike Brennan said that when you go out, it’s important not to do so alone.

“Obviously, the number one rule is to use the buddy system,” he said. “It’s always a good idea to go out with one or two people.”

Lt. Elliott Florer of ISU Police said going out with people is one of the easiest ways to stay safe.

“If you go to a party with a group of people, always leave that party with the same group of people that you went there with,” he said.

It’s also a good idea to carry your cell phone, Brennan said.

And even if you’re not drinking, just walking around at night or even earlier in the evening, Brennan said, it is a good idea to be aware of the fact many people who are out have been.

The more respectful you are of other people, the less likely it is for something to happen.

“You have to realize that there is a wide variety of people out there at night, and that some have been drinking and some have been drinking way too much,” he said.

Florer said it is important to be aware of your surroundings, and even if you’re listening to an iPod, keep one ear phone out so you can pay attention to what’s going on around you.

Common sense precau-

tions and listening to your gut is also important, Florer said.

“If your gut tells you something’s wrong, something probably is wrong, and don’t be afraid to listen to that voice,” he said.

Another good precaution to take is to let your roommates know what your plans are, Brennan said.

This way, someone will know where you are supposed to be, and about what time you should be back home.

Florer agreed and said it’s important to let people know what your plans are.

When it comes to drinking, Brennan said to do so responsibly and have a designated driver.

Since one of the first

things to be affected by alcohol is your judgment, people drinking can make some decisions that could get them into to trouble.

Florer said the biggest problem his department faces has to do with “people’s decisions and usage of alcohol.”

He recommends if you do choose to drink, to do so responsibly.

Florer also said the Safety Escort is very under used on campus. It is available 6 p.m. – 6 a.m. The number is 515-294-4444 and will take you anywhere on campus, to the fraternities and sororities and athletic complexes.

“Life is a precious thing, it’s important to keep safe and make good decisions,” Florer said.

Six student deaths since January

By James.Heggen @iowastatedaily.com The ISU community has seen six student deaths since January.

Dione Somerville, dean of students, said student deaths occur for a variety of reasons.

“Unfortunately, we have students that become deceased on a regular basis,” she said.

“What’s been so different about this past semester, these past several months, is that we’ve had several, very tragic, very high profile, very public deaths that have occurred,” she said.

These types of deaths have a different effect on the larger community.

“When you hear of something tragic that occurs in a community in which you belong, your response as an individual is different, even if you did not know the person that it occurred to,” she said.

Counseling, holding memorial services or providing opportunities for students to talk about the event are important to help the community

heal, in addition to the people most closely affected.

“One of the most important things we do is reach out to family and friends,” she said.

The kinds of services the dean of students office provides depends on the person.

It can refer students to other help, such as to counseling. Sometimes, it can be as simple as needing someone to talk to.

They also offer emergency notification for some students, where they can contact a student’s professors to let them know what the student is going through.

“It really depends on the individual student involved,” she said.

For students who think they may need help, Somerville said to “just reach out.”

“The dean of students office main telephone number is 294-1020,” she said. “And if you call that number, someone is going to be at the other end who can either talk to you or make a referral or both.”

Hope remains despite tragedy

By Jason.Arment @iowastatedaily.com Unaccounted For When I rotated back from Iraq roughly two years ago, my battalion had a ceremony for the fallen. We stood in formation as role was symbolically called.

When the names of the departed were called out, they hung heavy in the air.

When it was called out that they were not present, it was my battalion’s way of trying to bring closure; closure brought to bear by a public acknowledgment in the Marine culture that some of us didn’t make it back.

Even with our boots, bullet proof vests, Humvees, machine guns and 12ton armored troop-carriers,

we were fallible.

E v e n with our hate and discontent, our endless Lacina rage, there were those who in malicious violence took that which cannot be restored.

When Jon Lacina went missing, the reaction of the community was a positive one.

A comprehensive search was mounted, the greek community searched its properties and posters with Lacina’s face on them were used to cover all exposed waist-to-head-level glass on the Lied Recreation Center doors.

There was even a discus-

sion in my cozy apartment at the northwest fringe of town.

My roommates and I sat down to discuss what we thought happened, where he could be and what we could do; if anything.

The only thing we could do was be more aware of ourselves and each other.

Gradually, the posters on the doors of the Lied curled around the edges, and the ones around Welch Avenue grew tattered from exposure to the elements.

They were taken down and replaced with new, crisp ones, but always in fewer numbers.

A kind of calm had fallen on the subject, but people were still thinking about what could have happened and carrying around ques-

tions with them through their days.

Tragedy Some things that impact the community linger. There are times when things happen that don’t make sense to us, or the sense they do make leaves us feeling a little bit hollow. The answers provided are sometimes incomplete.

How does a community make sense of someone disappearing?

For a time, I thought the memory of Lacina would fade quickly from the commynity; that in a matter of months, his disappearance would cease to trouble the minds of the public. However, some time after a news release from the State see HOPE on PAGE 48

Write a letter to the editor.

Welcome Back 2010

Opinion section inspires

By Edward.Leonard @iowastatedaily.com When I was in middle school, I fell in love with the humor columns of a writer named Dave Barry. Every week, I couldn’t wait for the Sunday paper where his column would be published.

Since then, I have developed a great appreciation for opinion writing. It’s a personal style in which the writer really shares his or her thoughts and feelings with the reader. It makes me feel much more connected to the news.

Whether it’s Dave Barry, Stephen Colbert or Sean Hannity, all of the best opinion writers compare the world’s news with their own thoughts, feelings and values. They take the news and they make it personal.

Whether I agree with them, laugh at their clowning, or get angry at some point I disagree with, they always get me thinking.

When I was given the job of opinion editor for fall semester, I immediately ex-

perienced a wave of excitement. This job is perfect for me, combining the two things I love: dealing with people and having opinions.

This was then coupled with a paralyzing fear, mostly stemming from the fact I am an engineering major with no journalism experience whatsoever.

However, I am confident — even optimistic — about the direction the opinion desk will take this semester. I am, as I said before, excited about the job, and have no shortage of experienced teammates to help

me learn the tricks of the trade. And, as the old saying goes, new faces bring new ideas. Even though I don’t have all of the experience of a journalism major, I have a new perspective that will help the opinion desk connect with non-journalists at Iowa State.

Our goal this year is to get people talking, whether that’s about the bailout, the GSB budget or the trials and tribulations of being sexiled.

At the Iowa State Daily, we do our best to not only get you the news, but also to

provide a sense of perspective about it. Through opinion columns and editorials we try to provide some of the many possible viewpoints on any given issue to encourage you to think about it and make your own conclusions.

Whether you agree with us or not, we will always strive to give perspective on as many issues as we can fit on our page. You may love our ideas, or you may totally disagree.

Feel free, though, to tell us just how much you disagree. Who knows? If your hatred is coherent enough, your strongly worded letters to the staff or myself could be published. We want you to write us. If you have thoughts on an issue, tell us, and tell us why.

Nothing illustrates the voice of Iowa State like the voice of Iowa State.

In short, I want to speak to you, the community — and so does the staff.

Whether you are amused or angry, you are thinking, and if you’re thinking, we have succeeded.

Website undergoes alterations

By Anthony.Capps @iowastatedaily.com Visiting our website, iowastatedaily.com, you may have noticed comments from the past few years are now gone.

The reason for the change was because we switched to a new content management system, which helps us organize the back end of our website.

Deleting the comments is not something we wanted to do, but the new CMS has made our work flow much smoother and reporters have more ownership of their content’s presentation.

It also helps get news online more quickly.

So, all comments made before the switch have been deleted.

Commenting will be restored soon, as our plan is to have it up as soon as possible — we agree, without it, the website loses a little of its flavor.

Our new system will be similar to the one we previously had with the ability to comment on each story.

However, anonymous commenting will be muzzled.

Every person will be asked to verify their identity and, therefore, use their real name.

The Daily wants to create a more engaged community online where people know who they are talking to, so that, hopefully, more people will join in on conversations.

We don’t accept anonymous letters to the editor, so the same is being established on online commenting.

Facebook will be one of the major

options available to users to verify one’s identity.

Logging into Facebook will also allow access to iowastatedaily.com.

This is similar to the way CNN, Mashable and the Huffington Post currently operate.

Staff members will also be joining the conversation, so when you have a question on a story, reporters and editors will respond and give information when they need to.

Again, we want to cultivate an online community of trust and more conversation.

Be aware of what you state when you comment because it, like our archives, will not be removed. We want to ensure you are aware of that.

We believe the new system isn’t perfect, but it’s a step forward.

Football schedule looms

By Curtis.Powers @iowastatedaily.com Attn to:

Iowa in a 27-17 loss, followed by a 37-14 loss to Texas, which was 16-14 at one point.

After beating University of Northern Iowa 2827, things just kind of went downhill from there, culminating in one of the most embarrassing losses I have witnessed at Iowa State.

We lost to Kansas 41-10 at home and it wasn’t even that close. That loss, I think, was the straw that broke the camel’s back for coach Dan McCarney, who resigned at the end of the season.

Iowa State ended up finishing 4-8 (1-7) that year, and the offense only scored more than 20 points three times.

Now, I’m not saying that

will happen. After all, back then you were kind of expecting the worst to happen at any moment, and it often did.

This past year though, I didn’t get that feeling. Furthermore, Iowa State improved as the season went along and handled adversity well. So things are different, but how much different? It is hard to tell at this point.

It will probably depend on turnovers and red zone efficiency on both sides of the ball, like it normally does, and how well they start the season — especially in their first game against Northern Illinois University, which is a real land-mine game.

Last year I had Iowa State finishing 4-8 (2-6).

This year, I have Iowa State finishing 6-6 (4-4). Hopefully coach Paul Rhoads and his team can prove me wrong again this year by winning more than that.

First Half of the Season Predictions The first game of the year is against NIU at home. I think the game could be the difference between going a bowl and staying home.

NIU returns most of its team that beat Purdue on the road by a touchdown, lost to Wisconsin on the road by a touchdown and went to a bowl game last year. Most analysts pick them to win the MAC or get close.

Iowa State lost to NIU by a touchdown on the road in 2003. Iowa State beat NIU by a touchdown at home in 2004. I expect the game to close again this year. Unfortunately, I think Iowa State loses this one, mostly because I think we generally start seasons slowly.

The second game is against Iowa in Iowa City.

Iowa is coming off one of the luckier seasons I’ve seen in college football, and I think

this has caused them to be overrated — mostly due to a brand new offensive line.

Certainly they have the talent to be great again, but historically they perform better when they have lower expectations. With Iowa State coming off a loss to NIU and Iowa thumping Eastern Illinois University, the table is set for the Cyclones.

I think Iowa State, much like in 2005, will pull off a major upset of the Hawkeyes in a low scoring affair. It will be tougher on the road, but it is definitely there for the taking.

Game three is a neutral site game against Kansas State, and is all about avenging last year’s blocked extra point loss — the one that sent kicker Grant Mahoney into a tail spin.

I’m hoping Mahoney can exorcise his demons and help the Cyclones beat the Wildcats on a last-second field goal; or just help the Cyclones win by 20. I’ll take either scenario. I think Iowa State rolls.

Game four is a home game against a UNI team that is down. I think we should easily win this game by a couple touchdowns,

though you never know.

UNI always seem to play well against in-state rivals.

The next two games are huge for the Cyclones. They play Texas Tech and Utah at home. Both are winnable, but we probably enter both games as underdogs.

While many folks may be excited to play to Texas Tech under new coach Tommy Tuberville, I am not. All the man does is win.

He’s only had three losing seasons in 14 years of coaching in the SEC — four at Ole Miss and 10 at Auburn.

So Tech may not be upto-speed quite yet in a new system, but I still think the Red Raiders win this one.

Game six is against Utah. I don’t know much about their team this year, but I do know their coach, Kyle Whittingham, is really good. He’s 47-17 (28-12) in his five years at Utah, including a Bowl Championship Series win over Alabama two seasons ago.

One interesting note is that Utah will be coming off a bye week when they play Iowa State. In my mind, that cemented my decision to pick Utah in this one.

So, through the first half

of the season, I have Iowa State going 3-3 (1-1) which would be a decent start; I would take it. I think the worst case scenario, Iowa State starts 1-5 (0-2) and the best case scenario Iowa State starts 4-2 (1-1).

Second Half of the Season Predictions The start of the second half of the schedule is absolutely brutal. Iowa State plays Oklahoma and Texas on the road. The last time Iowa State beat Oklahoma was in 1990, and Iowa State has never beaten Texas.

So things do not look promising for Iowa State.

However, it presents a great opportunity for the team, as well. You’re never going to break a losing streak unless you play the game. After all, Iowa State ended a long road losing streak to Nebraska last year. It will not be easy though.

Oklahoma, under Bob Stoops, is 66-2 at home.

Their only losses were to Oklahoma State in 2001 and TCU in 2005. Many think Oklahoma may be a surprise national title contender this year. So I think it is safe to pick Oklahoma

over Iowa State.

Then, Iowa State heads down to Austin to face Texas. While there may not be any imposing stats, such as the Stoops home record listed above, I am not terribly optimistic about this game either. I think Texas will win it.

After those two games, Iowa State finishes with Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Missouri. The only road game for those four is against Colorado.

So, I am looking forward to this part of the schedule, especially if Iowa State can find a way to be 2-2 in conference play at this point.

I think if Iowa State can be 2-2 in conference at this point, they could win the Big 12 North. Likely? Probably not, but it could happen.

Heading into game nine against Kansas, I have the Cyclones at 3-5 (13). Kansas has a new coach and a lot of new offensive players. This was a Kansas team last year that Iowa State almost beat on the road in a shootout.

So, in my mind, even with a new defense, Iowa State should win this one easily. That would be nice given our lack of success lately against the Jayhawks.

Then we have what may be the

most interesting game of the year. Nebraska comes to Jack Trice Stadium in what will be an emotional game, at least for the Cyclones.

Remember that Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten almost left Iowa State without a conference and dim prospects for the future, along with a potential loss of millions of dollars.

That also means this will be the last game these two teams play against each other for a long time.

Add the fact Iowa State beat Nebraska last year with a backup quarterback and running back, and this game has all the makings to be a great one.

I think Iowa State’s crowd could be the difference in this game. It could be one of the more hostile environments ever seen at Jack Trice.

In the end, I think Iowa State pulls off a massive upset of the Huskers giving them a nice send-off from the Big 12. It will be a glorious day.

It will be so awesome and emotional that we will roll into Boulder the next week and lose to Dan Hawkins’ Colorado Buffaloes.

It’s like what happened to Team U.S.A. in the World Cup this year. After such an emotional and draining

game, I’m not sure Iowa State will be able to rebound in the high altitude and take care of business.

I hope I’m wrong, but it’s very possible, especially since they almost beat us last year at home. Plus, I don’t think Iowa State has ever beaten Colorado in Boulder.

Iowa State’s last game is against Missouri in the battle for the Telephone Trophy.

That has got to be one of the most nerdy rivalry trophies to play for in college football.

Missouri will probably be the favorite, but I like our chances. I have us at 5-6 (3-4) heading into this game, which means we have a lot riding on this game. Plus, we don’t lose too many senior day games.

So, I think Iowa State will win it to finish 6-6 (4-4), and will get an invite to the inaugural Pinstripes Bowl on Dec. 30 held in Yankee Stadium.

They will go on to defeat the fourth team from the Big East. Then it’s New Year’s Eve in New York City!

So, hopefully, Iowa State will finish at least this good, if not a little better.

Who knows? What I do know is, it makes me excited for the football season.

is taking advantage of an NCAA rule allowing players that graduate with a year of eligibility left to transfer to another school.

Anderson is a nice addition to a backcourt that returns Diante Garrett and Scott Christopherson from a year ago. Other players expected to contribute in the backcourt this year are junior college newcomer DeMarcus Phillips and redshirt freshman Bubu Palo.

The other guy who’s a transfer from Minnesota that may be eligible this season is forward Royce White. Iowa State’s signing of White is a big deal.

He is the most talented guy we’ve signed since Craig Brackins. He could

It kind of feels like 2006 all over again for the Iowa State men’s basketball program. There’s a new coach, lots of new players and hope for the upcoming season.

It has been a very encouraging summer in my mind. Fred Hoiberg hired former Charlotte coach Bobby Lutz as an assistant in mid-June, filling in the experience gap for the coaching staff.

Iowa State was able to sign some high school players, as well as transfers a few of who may be able to play next year.

Jake Anderson, a guard who transferred from Northern Illinois, will definitely play this season. He see BASKETBALL on PAGE 50

Make Ames feel like your home

By Logan.McDonald @iowastatedaily.com You’ve been here for a couple years. You’ve checked out a show at the M-Shop or gone to see Grandma Mojo’s improv. You’ve gone tailgating and may or may not have eventually gone to football games afterward.

You’ve probably eaten enough Jimmy John’s/Fighting Burrito/Subway to feel like you should own some of their stock. You’ve done Veishea. You’ve gone to ClubFest. You’ve probably drank a lot more than you should have.

So then what else is there?

A big part of the first years at Iowa State is orienting yourself to campus and campus life. Once you get used to your schedules and meeting times and study sessions and life away from home, you find you still have plenty of free time.

HOPE

from PAGE 41 Medical Examiners office ruling his death accidental, there were still unanswered questions.

Amateur theorists abound in every town, and in college towns are a dime a dozen.

Maybe forensic crime dramas fuel some of the more far-fetched speculation, or maybe it’s just the way things are dealt with in communities.

People fit it into something that plays out well in their imaginations, making it a little easier to understand.

We don’t like to accept, as a community, that there are those who once journeyed with us that have been laid to rest.

With all of our parties, good times, tests, cramming, drinking, romance and drama, we are just normal people.

It makes us uncomfortable to think even with our seemingly infinite youth and oasis of college life, we are not impervious to death.

Tragedy is something hard for people to define.

We don’t like it when bad things happen to good people.

That’s what happened, though. Lacina went for a walk and didn’t come back.

Thoreau wrote, “We should go forth on the shortest walk, perchance, in the spirit of undying adventure, never to return.”

This isn’t the first time someone has abruptly left the community, by any means, and it wont be the last.

We have lost far too many students this year, and the effects of their absences will be felt widely and in ways we have not yet realized.

Find Jon. Live fully.

After his disappearance, red bracelets reading “Find Jon. Live Fully.” were circulated. They are still relevant now, even after he has been found.

If there is anything tragedy illustrates clearly, it is the need to appreciate each other.

To appreciate the lives we come into contact with, and to think about our priorities.

That sounds like the easy thing to say — we should stop and smell the roses.

Think about it, though, do you? Do you really appreciate things for what they are?

Many college students come straight from high school.

After spending the first three-fourths of their college career worrying about grades, they spend the last year worrying about what happens after graduation.

Stop.

Talk to someone you normally wouldn’t.

Be conscientious of deadlines, but don’t let them overwhelm the beauty in your life.

Be aware of the present moment.

Appreciate your own life, first and foremost, because it’s the only one you’ve got.

Pay attention to others, and be grateful for them; there are those who’s travels end abruptly, and willful ignorance of this is selfish.

The community will inevitably move on from the death of Lacina, and the deaths of our other fellow students.

It is up to us whether we trudge away with our hands buried deep in our pockets and a grimace on our face, or we stride away taking solace in each other.

Movie reviews on the fly

By Gabriel.Stoffa @iowastatedaily.com All right movie goers, fall semester may be filled with books and tests and other terrible things that involve effort, so here are some films to keep you sane until spring semester: “Piranha 3-D” Aug. 20 Ridiculous horror remakes tend to be entertaining, dumb, but entertaining — check out the original from 1978. I wouldn’t rush out to see this one, but if you’re bored, it may be OK. “Lottery Ticket” Aug. 20 This movie looks to be one of the most god-awful comedies to come out for the year, so, naturally, I expect some people to enjoy it — then again, some people also like NASCAR. “Machete” Sept. 3 Lots of action and cheesy situations will make this an entertaining time for those who enjoy cultstyle films.

Not worth rushing out, but a midnight show should be fun. Not to mention this will likely have some amazing cameo appearances and beautiful explosions.

“The American” Sept. 1 George Clooney as an assassin, need I say more?

Well, the potential love story might make this less entertaining, so opening weekend is probably unneeded.

“Devil” Sept. 17 M. Night Shyamalan wrote this, so expect some “what a twist” moments that will try to hold together a story that probably won’t be worth the effort. Despite this, Shyamalan is like a drug, so it’ll be hard not to go during the first week just so someone can’t ruin the surprise ending — like all of those jerks out there that revealed Bruce Willis was dead all through “Sixth Sense,” whoops, my bad.

“Waiting for ‘Superman’” Sept. 24

Yes, yes, I know, documentaries are not most people’s cup of tea, but in this case please hear me out.

This has the potential to be the biggest documentary since “Bowling for Columbine.”

“The Social Network” Oct. 1 Everybody uses Facebook, so a movie about its creation will make for many wall postings about opinions. Worth seeing the opening week.

“Nowhere Boy” Oct. 8 The Beatles were awesome, so I think a movie about John Lennon’s youth sounds like a good time.

This could epic fail, or could be amazing. Movies about musicians seem to only run the extremes of good and bad, so this is worth the gamble of viewing.

“Conviction” Oct. 15 A working mother puts herself through law school in an effort to represent her brother, who has been

wrongfully convicted of murder and has exhausted his chances to appeal his conviction through public defenders. The buzz is, this will be Sam Rockwell’s shot at an Oscar; I’ll see it just to find out if it will be.

“Jackass 3-D” Oct. 15 Why this is in 3-D, I do not know; OK, fine, I do know, but that doesn’t mean I like it — the reason being, for those living under a rock, that the old 3-D gimmick was brought back and succeeded for “Avatar,” so naturally Hollywood has to try and milk it for all it’s worth.

Regardless, the other Jackass movies were funny and mindless, so this will be a fine date movie or night out with your friends.

“Red” Oct. 15 Helen Mirren shoots people with a sniper rifle — I would go just to see that, twice.

easily be a one and done kind of guy. In fact, we beat out Kentucky and Baylor for him.

However, he does come with a little baggage. He transferred from Minnesota due to some off the court issues, and thus, never played for them.

But from the sound of things, Coach Hoiberg and folks around the Athletic Department did their homework and think it will work.

As a big believer in giving people a second chance, I think this is a good deal on the whole. Especially if Mr. White can gain eligibility for the upcoming season. It could be the difference between the Big 12 cellar and the National Invitational Tournament.

Though knowing Iowa State’s luck with the NCAA, I would not count on it.

Other transfers who will sit out this season include guard Chris Babb, Penn State, and forward Anthony Booker, Southern Illinois. Both of these guys are will be impact players next season.

There will be four incoming fresh-

men this year. They are all forwards, and all of them will have an opportunity to play right away. They are Melvin Ejim, Calvin Godfrey, Eric McKnight and Jordan Railey.

Of that group, Ejim is the one most ready to play. He’s a 6-foot-6-inch forward from the same prep school as Craig Brackins.

The other three will likely be guys in need of some time to develop into Big 12 players, though the jury’s still out on Calvin Godfrey — he’s a bit of a wild card in my mind. That being said, all these guys will probably play significant minutes due to the lack of depth.

Considering all of the above, here is who I think will be the Cyclone starting lineup this November: Garrett, Anderson, Christopherson, Ejim and Vanderbeken.

Off the bench, I think we will see Phillips, Palo, Godfrey, McKnight, and Railey in that order. Currently, that is all of the eligible players Iowa State has heading into the season.

That’s a bit scary after what happened last season when ISU went down to only seven scholarship players. Hopefully, Iowa State can avoid injuries and random departures back to Germany this year. We will have to

Share Your Happiness!

wait and see.

Despite the lack of depth and experience on this year’s team, I am fairly optimistic heading into this season.

From what I can tell, the only Big 12 teams that return significant talent from last year are Kansas State, Colorado and Texas Tech. Most other schools have lost some or most of their key players from last year.

While the schedule hasn’t been released yet, I’m going to give you my best guess at how we’re going to do this year with the assumption Royce White is not eligible.

Depending on how many nonconference games we play, I think we’ll probably win 10 games, and lose five or six. In conference, I think we’ll probably win five games and lose 11.

That would put us at 15-16 (5-11).

If White plays, I think we will go 18-13 (7-9), meaning we’d win another non-conference game and two more Big 12 games. My thinking is Iowa State will get better as the season progresses.

On the whole, I think this coming season will be a fun one. While I don’t think our record will change much, I do think how we play will — as in beating a top 25 team.

Moving: not for the weak

By Curtis.Powers @iowastatedaily.com

It’s that time of the year again. The dreaded moving time. I’m not sure there are many other things in life as stressful as moving, especially when many other people are, as well.

This was the ninth time I have moved in my life.

Half of those moves were before college, with all of the moves spanning more than 700 miles — Texas to California, to Illinois, to Connecticut, back to Illinois. The other half of my moves have happened while in college.

This move was a little different, since it was the first time I have moved while I have been married.

We had to move from our one bedroom apartment to a new place with

two bedrooms because my wife is eight-and-a-half months pregnant.

Fortunately, we were able to move early and avoid the July 30 to Aug. 1 rush. We also had a lot of help from our parents and friends, which was nice, since my stuff has multiplied about six times from when I was single.

Thankfully, our little boy also decided to stay in his mother’s womb and not be born before or during the move. Moving with a newborn would have been quite the adventure.

So, if you think your move is going to be stressful, just think about all ways it could be even more stressful, and be glad it’s not. I’ve found that helpful.

I’ve also found, over the years, that moving is good.

— I’ve also found that I hate

it too.

On the one hand, it’s helpful to be forced to look through all of your crap and figure out if you still need it. That way, you never end up on the A&E show, “Hoarders.” Although I’m sure there are a few of you out there who could be potential candidates in the future, which is a bit scary.

It’s also helpful if you need new roommates or no roommates. After all, sometimes living situations do not always work out for the best. It may also be time to upgrade to a nicer place with a better location.

There is a bit of difference between the dorms and, say, a location such as Somerset.

On the other hand, it is a real pain to move, especially if you do it a lot like most college students do. You

have to find all of your stuff.

Then you have to figure out how you’re going to transport it to the new place. You also might have to store it for a night or two.

Furthermore, you have to clean your old place up, which is never fun. If you don’t clean it that well, you face the prospect of losing your deposit due to the fines and fees. Losing some or all of your deposit is pretty scary, since it’s usually a month’s rent. This is my first time living in a place with a deposit, and I know I’m worried about it — who wants to lose $50 because you forgot to clean under your refrigerator?

Hopefully, after it’s all said and done, things work out and you don’t have to move for a while; that’s what I’m hoping for anyway.

AMES

from PAGE 47 more years, Ames is just the place you go to school, while the place you grew up is your real home. Now is the time to make Ames your own. Don’t make the only reasons you leave campus to get some late night McDonald’s or to pick up laundry detergent at Target.

There are plenty of things to do in Ames all year round.

There are several disc golf courses near campus, as well as baseball fields, tennis courts, sand volleyball courts and swimming pools.

Ada Hayden is a huge park just north of Ames with a beautiful lake and several miles of trails. The park is a great place to go for a bike ride or take someone for a date that doesn’t involve bowling or watching movies.

Downtown Ames has a great bar scene that has an entirely different feel than Campustown.

There are also plenty of shops downtown that have more than what the North Grand Mall has to offer.

If you don’t have a summer internship or summer job waiting for you at “home,” consider staying in Ames the whole year round.

There are plenty of things to do in the summer, despite what you may have heard.

Summer classes can help you get your gen-eds out of the way and let you graduate on time. Even if you’re taking summer classes, there are ample opportunities to do fun things.

The Furman Aquatic Center is open all summer long and has several slides, a lazy river and diving boards.

Tubing down the Skunk River is one of the best ways to spend a relaxing afternoon in the sun with some friends.

Ames is far from dead, because lots

of people stay in Ames for the summer.

You’ll even find some of the campus bars starting lines on the weekends.

It is with good reason Ames was recently listed by CNN Money as the ninth best place to live in America.

With a stellar university and a thriving community, Ames is a city that feels small, but it has a lot to offer its residents.

In the years after you graduate, remember the fun times you had at Iowa State, but also think of Ames.

It won’t just have been a place where you went to school, it will be a place where you lived.

MOVIES

My final opinion of “Saw” and its sequels: Epic fail.

Freeman, John Malkovich, Brian Cox, Mary-Louise Parker, Richard Dreyfuss and Ernest Borgnine, all joining in with lots of guns and explosions and funny dialogue.

If this thing isn’t as awesome as I want it to be, I may stop watching movies altogether.

“The Company Men” Oct. 22 A movie about trying to make it despite corporate downsizing should really hit base with a lot of viewers. I smell some more Oscar potential.

from PAGE 49

“Saw VII” Oct. 22 This movie franchise is stupid.

The first one was pretty obvious, and the rest of them are a complete waste of time.

If people stop going, maybe they will stop making these things — I realize my hopes of the demise of the “Saw” franchise are in vain.

Maybe I could appreciate this goretastic horror film attempt, but only if one of three things happen: One, the story improves — lol.

Two, they revisit characters from the previous movies and tie them all together like so many other horror franchises that have gone this long do.

Three, they become less gore and freaky, pointy object oriented and really bend themselves toward the psychology of the situations. Of course, this can’t happen, because that would be something a worthwhile film does.

“Megamind” Nov. 5 This stands to be the coolest animated movie of the year in regards to story and entertainment. Easily watchable opening weekend.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I” Nov. 19 Everyone is already planning to see this. If you aren’t, well, you have something wrong with you.

Personally, I can’t wait.

“Love and Other Drugs” Nov. 26 I hear the Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway sex scene is funny, and the rest of the movie is supposed to be solid — OK fine, I have a thing for Hathaway.

Still worth seeing opening weekend.

“TRON: Legacy” Dec. 17

The sci-fi movie of the year. Cult fans and newcomers alike should enjoy this. I mean come on, Daft Punk is producing the soundtrack.

“Little Fockers” Dec. 24 I really hope this is the end of the franchise, not because they are bad, but because I don’t want them to get bad. This will be a fine movie to go to in order to get away from your family after opening presents.

“Somewhere” Dec. 24 Another Sofia Coppola written and directed piece about finding yourself.

I dig her movies, and I think this is going to be another “Lost in Translation,” so I’m in opening weekend.

“Gulliver’s Travels” Dec. 24 This was a cool book when I was little, so hopefully it will be a neat movie — I won’t hold my breath though. Maybe go if you’ve already watched the rest of the good releases during the holidays.

“The Green Hornet” Jan. 14 I really hope the release date doesn’t change. This movie is going to be funny and cool and definitely worth going to the midnight release.

So here are the top 10 reasons to visit downtown Ames.

1. Customer service The customer service downtown in those locally owned businesses would blow the customer service of other corporate-chain businesses that you may visit frequently out of the

water.

“These businesses will help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

If one business doesn’t have it, they’ll send you to the one that does to make sure you’re satisfied,” Moore said.

2. You will always find a gift for that hard-to-buy-for person

There are clothing shops, shoe stores, antiques, jewelry stores and more. There is no way you won’t find the perfect gift for someone downtown.

3. The food You can’t go wrong when eating downtown. There are many restau-

rants to choose from at prices students can afford. Whatever you’re craving, you will find it.

Some great places to go to downtown are Aunt Maudes, Great Plains, and Olde Main. For dessert, your

Cook’s Emporium frequently has interactive cooking activities. Every Saturday morning, for only $5, you can watch someone prepare your food, learn how to make the dish, and then you get to eat it, too.

“Cook’s Emporium is a great place for learning.

If you went in there and asked them a question on baking something or cooking something, they’ll take something out of their own sample and show you how to do it,” said Moore.

Finally, Olde Main, an Ames favorite, gives away free root beer floats on a customer’s birthdays.

4. Complete wedding

planning You can plan your entire wedding in downtown Ames. There are churches, reception areas, cake shops, photographers, catering companies, jewelry stores, etc. So stop driving all the way to Des Moines and wasting your gas; there are perfectly good businesses and people downtown that can do the same job or better.

5. ISU swag There are multiple locations downtown that have all the ISU merchandise you could ever dream of.

The Hy-Vee Drug Store has a ton of different ISU apparel to choose from.

Temptations and Chocolaterie Stam have handmade ISU goodies, and Gilger Designs makes hand-crafted ISU jewelry.

“They have the cutest Campanile necklace. It’s just amazing,” Moore said.

6. Clothing stores.

Downtown, there is a huge array of clothing store options, ranging from consignment to high end.

“We have some great consignment stores downtown. They’re high quality, trendy clothes and really reasonable prices,” Moore said.

So before you head over to the mall or to Target for clothes, check out the clothing shops downtown.

They have more variety at a cheaper price.

7. Pampering Girls, you are missing out if you haven’t made a stop at It’s All About Me! They have facials, pedicures, manicures and all the feminine gifts you could ever dream of.

Along with It’s All About Me! there are a lot of other stores downtown that provide salon services.

“There are so many beauty salons downtown that have massages, manicures, pedicures and they are way more affordable than some other options in the area,” Moore said.

8. Creative outlet “You can literally work with pottery at Kil’n Time Studio, then go to the Octagon for a poetry class, then go look through all of the Octagon galleries and then walk through our other downtown businesses and see much more,” Moore said.

9. Jewelry It’s already been mentioned a time or two, but it needs to be brought into clear focus.

These stores have some of the most amazing handcrafted jewelry available.

Stores such as Nature’s Touch, Gilger Designs, Ames Silversmithing, the

“You have to meet Everts’ cat Daisy, and the dog at Gilger, the cat at Skunk River and the two dogs at Nature’s Touch.

Those are just some of the animals that you have to meet downtown,” Moore said.

Every student should make the trip to visit downtown at least once; it’s a promise that once you finally go down there, you’ll have many more trips to come.

With so many options and activities available, students can easily come up with their own favorite reasons to visit downtown.

As the executive director of the Main Street Cultural District, Moore oversees the four major committees that fall within the Main Street Cultural District: business improvement, organization, design and promotions.

The business improvement committee works to recruit and retain businesses, as well as business investors and friends of Main Street.

The design committee promotes building facade improvements, historic preservation, welldesigned window displays and the visual merchandising.

The promotions committee works to plan and promote retail selling

events, special events and festivals.

Along with overseeing these committees, Moore also works on bringing in investors and marketing them.

“We do all kinds of marketing for Main Street. One example is our Facebook page,” Moore said.

The Main Street Cultural District Facebook page features a “deal of the week.”

Every Thursday the MSCD place a special deal on its page for all of its fans to enjoy.

“Thursdays are the days that the Main Street shops are open later, and we have some great deals that go on,” Moore said.

This is a way to come see the stores downtown and get great deals at the same time.

Along with its weekly deals, they also feature free events for the whole community.

“My favorite part about my position is the events.

I love seeing families come and enjoy what we planned,” Moore said.

One of Moore’s favorite events is Snow Magic on Main.

“At this event we have tree lighting, horse carriage rides, Santa and much more. It’s a really fun event,” Moore said.

Along with Snow Magic on Main, some other excellent events for students are the MusicWalk and ArtWalk.

The MusicWalk is 5 – 8 p.m. Sept. 16.

There will be 25 total downtown businesses that will offer some sort of live entertainment, which can range from concerts to juggling.

There will also be food, wine and other types of entertainment, and best of all, it’s all free.

“This is a great opportunity to do something dif-

ferent for a change, have fun, listen to live music and browse our downtown stores,” said Moore.

The ArtWalk is basically the same thing sort of thing as the MusicWalk, only with art.

The businesses will have artists and different art work available for viewing along with food and beverages.

“Most of the events that we have downtown are free to everyone,” said Moore.

Another favorite part of Moore’s position involves working with the variety of people and businesses downtown.

“The flavor of people downtown is never boring,” Moore said.

Moore is very pleased with her decision to come back to Main Street Cultural District.

“We have a lot of great things going on here and even more to come,” Moore said.

Mexican food moves in

By Micaela.Cashman @iowastatedaily.com Three new Mexican restaurants have hit Campustown this summer.

Angie’s Cantina Angie’s Cantina, 2416 Lincoln Way, has replaced Angie’s Kitchen, though the new owners did save some of the old restaurant’s charm.

Peter Muljadi and his father, Iwan, took over the restaurant in February 2010. Peter, who grew up in Ames, saw potential in the business.

“The breakfast was great,” Peter said, “but there was a huge chunk of time when nothing was being served.”

While they kept the breakfast menu, the Muljadis introduced a new lunch and dinner menu featuring Spanish food when they reopened.

“It’s mostly Mexican food, with some Spanish food and kind of a fusion of Latin and Spanish dishes,” Peter said.

“Our tacos are just like you’ll find in Mexico. We don’t use cheese, we just used seasoned beef.”

Another signature item from Angie’s Cantina is the sangria, a red wine punch.

“We’re the only place in town I know of doing sangrias,” Peter said. “They are virtually hangover-proof.”

Peter said the beers, wines and other drinks his restaurant now offers add to the relaxed atmosphere he and his father created.

“Good food, good wine, good music” is the slogan Peter is working for.

Despite all the changes, Peter and Iwan have more plans in the works as they look to remodel further.

“We want to be something different,” Peter said.

currently located at 2712 Lincoln Way, will move to 117 Welch Ave., next door to Cy’s Roost.

The building has most recently hosted Mochi smoothie and ice cream shop as well as a Dairy Queen.

The new location will open in late summer, said owner Matthew Goodman.

He said he is moving the restaurant for three main reasons: gaining more business, meeting more students and providing a more comfortable atmosphere.

Currently, Fighting Burrito is the furthest eatery from Campustown that competes in the late-night food market.

“The closer we are to the district,” Goodman said, “the more business we’ll have. We do very well latenight, and the new location will support that.”

Open until 4 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays, Fighting Burrito has the latest hours in Campustown.

Goodman hopes this will help the restaurant pull in more customers at its new location.

Goodman said his restaurant gets the most business in the early hours of the morning, but he hopes

moving to Welch Avenue will gain more business during the daytime.

“Right now, there’s a certain kind of customer that

comes in,” Goodman said.

Those customers are mostly college-aged stusee FOOD on PAGE 72

Students living on campus sometimes don’t venture out to where Fighting Burrito is currently, Goodman said.

By moving to Welch Avenue, the restaurant will be closer to where new students explore first.

He wants to make the new space a comfortable environment for all age groups, including professors.

“We want to provide a nice environment and good food,” he said.

While the Welch Avenue building is not bigger, Goodman said he has invested more into using the space wisely in order to create that nice environment.

The site may be changing, but Fighting Burrito will remain the same restaurant with the same food and people that has made it popular.

It prides itself on fresh products and satisfying meals.

“It’s still going to be us,” Goodman said. “We’ll compete with the other restaurants the same way we always have: We provide a unique product.”

Goodman said the restaurant was a success even when it first opened six years ago, but he is excited to leave the old site behind.

“It’s just like moving into a new house or apartment,” he said. “You get rid of all the old stuff that drove you crazy before. Of course, I’m sure there will be things that drive me crazy about the new location, too, but it’s

Assisting local musicians

By Ivy.Christianson @iowastatedaily.com Let the music play.

Alexander Recording Kompany, 327 Main St. below Rieman Music, opened its doors, allowing local musicians the opportunity to record their music at a rate inexpensive enough to almost be too good to be true.

Dennis Haislip, owner of Alexander Recording Kompany and employee of Reiman Music, said Ames has been devoid of a high quality music studio at an affordable price.

“A lot of kids around here play good music and can’t afford $100 an hour for a studio,” Haislip said. Instead, he offers an hourly price of $35.

The studio cost under $50,000 to build, but has provided ample opportunities for artists on the rise, or even just with dreams of greatness, in the Ames area.

“We’ve got a pretty long list of clients since we opened,” Haislip said.

Nearby bands including Chasing

Rudy Miller, front, 17, and Max Allamong, 15, practice in the studio below Rieman Music June 21.

Amira, fronted mostly by ISU students; The Workshy; and The Wire Frames all have recorded in the studio.

Fast-rising band Bombardier played at the studio’s March 26 opening, and the list keeps growing.

The studio’s main purpose will be music. However, they have also had the chance to use the space for advertising purposes, such as writing jingles for businesses.

Haislip hopes eventually that advertising is something he can fully integrate into the studio, but he will need more staffers to help balance the work load.

“My schedule is such that I don’t really have time to [work on advertising pieces],” he said.

“I wouldn’t mind the studio itself taking care of some of those things. If the studio can find somebody who can go out and seek those jobs, then we’d be

While Rieman Music may benefit from the recording studio, Haislip said the biggest advantage will be for the musicians using the Kompany.

“I think the benefit for Reiman’s is that people who are recording sometimes begin a recording project with equipment that doesn’t really fit their means, and then they can go upstairs and can experiment with equipment that might work for them. They can buy what fits for them,” he said.

Haislip had previously worked in a music studio

outside of Ames before he decided to open his own space.

“I loved being in the studio,” he said. “I feel like I’m productive and good at engineering the studio.”

The initial design and layout process took nearly a month to formulate.

With the help of some friends, Haislip only had to do construction for another month before everything was completed.

“Just about every night we had 3 or 4 [a.m.] nights where we went until we couldn’t go anymore,” he said.

The goal was to have a

comfortable environment in which an artist of any kind could come in and feel at home.

Not only can recording artists use the studio for musical purposes, but the Kompany also will take any vinyl recording and make it into a CD. Overall, Dennis Haislip is very grateful for the store’s existence, and knows it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of his friends and family.

“I’ve touched every piece of lumber in the place, every piece of drywall, every color of paint, but none of this did I do myself,” he said.

His son, Alexander, is the store’s namesake.

“We went through name after name, but I think I like this one the best,” he said smiling.

Club lays down challenge

By Ivy.Christianson @iowastatedaily.com Club Boxate, a combination boxing, karate and kung fu studio, is up and running for ISU students.

Primarily a studio specializing in full-contact kickboxing, Club Boxate, 2406 Lincoln Way, has been in Campustown for nearly a year now. However, owner Carl Swenson, does not want students to think his club functions as a business.

“It’s really not a business so much,” Swenson said.

“We’re here to help kids.”

Swenson began kickboxing in 1980 and was on the ISU boxing team from 1980-1983, learning under Grand Master Yong Chin Pak, who is a faculty member in health and human performance at Iowa State and teaches for the martial arts program on campus.

Club Boxate specializes in traditional martial arts and boxing techniques.

Students attending the $10 sessions will learn stretching, hand strikes, blocks, sweeps, choke-outs, selfdefense, sparring, conditioning circuits, bag work, focus pads, weapons and meditation. The trainers,

Swenson and Johnny Mascaro, Iowa States’ first boxing coach, work to develop positive spirit and self-confidence in their students.

Typically, Swenson only has a handful of active students at any given time.

“I have 15 active students, and I try not to have more,” he said. “It’s like a waiting list. I do two or three people or one person [for individual sessions].

It’s all private and semiprivates and small groups, meaning three or four people.”

Swenson is a fourthdegree black belt in both karate and kung fu. He has trained with world champion boxer Kerry Roop in Detroit and currently trains with Olympic karate studios in Chicago, Ill. His son, Aaron Swenson, is on the U.S. kickboxing team.

Swenson, has trained his son and watched him fight in all sorts of places. “[Aaron’s] fought in Portugal and just fought in the USA vs. Ireland match in Minneapolis, [Minn.],” he said. His son also teaches at the L.A. Boxing Studio in Chicago.

Adam Packer is another notable student Swenson has taught. Packer is from

Gilbert, and cross-trains with Club Boxate and Madrid MMA, but fights for Brutal Genesis.

“He’s a mixed martial

artist and does cage fighting out in Boone,” Swenson said. see CLUB on PAGE 77

New store offers trendy clothing

By Ivy.Christainson @iowastatedaily.com Ames has welcomed a new clothing store.

Ayden Lee, 1620 South Kellogg Ave., opened its doors in early June. Owners and ISU alumni Tia Ricklefs and Brett Folkerts saw a need for a trendy yet inexpensive clothing store in the Ames area.

“Every time we wanted to get any kind of nice clothes, we’d have to drive down to Des Moines, so we saw an opportunity [to open a store],” Folkerts said.

Ayden Lee specializes in selling trendy clothes that are popular now, but they also incorporate classic pieces. They market to both men and women, having suits and jeans for men, and tops, bottoms and dresses for women. Ricklefs compared their selection to items sold at Express, but on a more affordable scale.

The store has even made their own name brand that so far includes jeans, tops and dresses.

For the winter months, they plan to have winter coats available.

Both owners are convinced Ames is a good market for a clothing store. Both college and high school students tend to look for inexpensive, nice clothes.

Cupcakes come to town

By Micaela.Cashman @iowastatedaily.com A new face has arrived on Main Street.

Yummy’s Cupcake Emporium, 300 Main St., opened in July.

Owner Tawnya Zerr said she wanted the shop open by then, so people coming to Main Street for the parade and other festivities would have a chance to check out her new place.

Zerr has no previous professional baking experience. She started out at DMACC, concentrating on art and fashion, and ended up with a degree in welding.

“I liked old bikes, and I had an old car,” she said. “I was never really planning anything with what I was doing in school.”

Tawnya Zerr wanted a cupcake one day and couldn’t find a place that had what she wanted. After waiting for months, Zerr decided to make her own, starting Yummy’s Cupcake Emporium, located at 300 Main St. File photo: Logan Gaedke/Iowa State Daily

Welcome Back 2010

Before deciding to open Yummy’s Cupcake Emporium, Zerr worked at a restaurant and a vintage clothing store. She had been saving up for eight years to open a vintage clothing store of her own, but then the idea for a bakery came along. For the past six months, she has been focused on her relatively new dream.

“I really wanted a cupcake one day,” Zerr said.

“I thought it would be awesome to get a good fresh-baked cupcake, but I couldn’t think of any place to get one. I decided I had to bring the cupcakes to Ames.”

Zerr chose to open her restaurant not only because there are not many places like it in the area, but also because she grew up in and around Story County.

“I love Ames,” she said.

“It’s a small town, but it still feels like a city.”

She said Yummy’s Cupcake Emporium reflects

who she is.

“I love to eat, and I love vintage things,” Zerr said.

The cafe has a 1950s diner style.

Despite the name, Zerr’s cafe serves more than cupcakes. It also offers fruit, vegetables, soup, salad and pizza from Jeff’s Pizza, 2402 Lincoln Way, as part of an agreement between

the two businesses.

“Their pizza will reach Main Street, and my products will reach Campustown,” Zerr said.

Since cupcakes are the focus of Yummy’s Cupcake Emporium, she said she will offer six different cupcakes every day. The types of cupcakes available will rotate weekly.

That way, she said, people will have to keep coming back for more treats.

Zerr gets ideas for her unusual-flavored cupcakes from what she’s been craving, and she asks people what they have in mind.

“Our peanut butter and jelly is really popular,” she said.

She has recently developed a green tea-flavored cupcake with lemon honey frosting, as well as blackberry. Currently, she is working on a beer-flavored treat.

“We will have flavors you haven’t thought of because we haven’t thought of them yet.”

Zerr’s husband came up with the name for the restaurant.

“He shot down all of my ideas, so I let him pick a name,” she said.

“It kind of works because, so far, everyone who’s tried the cupcakes say ‘Mmm, yummy.’”

“elemental”

“The Healing Tree”

“Thinking of Ames”

By Julia.Ferrell @iowastatedaily.com

By Kaleb.Warnock @iowastatedaily.com

By Sarah.Binder @iowastatedaily.com

A new piece of artwork has been installed in the recently constructed Hach Hall chemistry building, located behind Davidson Hall and the Armory.

The work, “elemental,” is a largescale piece made of Plexiglass, aluminum and LED lights.

For Seattle-based artist Norie Sato, “elemental” is her second work for Iowa State. She has previously created the water work, “One Now All,” in Palmer Hall.

After nearly 40 years in the profession, Sato was selected for the project in 2009, based on her experience with public artwork.

For the last year, Sato has been working on the project in its many different stages.

The piece contains numerous glass and metal panels installed along the walls of the lobby of the building. The project began earlier in 2009, and the complete artwork is scheduled to be finished before the fall semester.

The art is a combination of patterns and materials inspired by elements and molecular bonds Sato hopes will inspire chemistry students. “[‘Elemental’] is all about chemistry. It involves a lot of patterns,” Sato said. “Students can come in, study it and find patterns that make sense to them.”

Iowa State’s largest mural, “The Healing Tree” by Minnesota artist Michaela Mahady, was completed at the new Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center.

The project was set into motion in fall of 2007, and completed in May under the Art in State Buildings Committee.

Kevin Flaming, committee chairman, said that the mural was part of the Art in State Buildings law that requires .05 percent of all funding for public buildings be set aside for public art.

“One of my goals was to be able to not be ashamed of our artwork. I feel good about this artwork ... I want to have something we can be proud of,” Flaming said.

The “Healing Tree” is an etched glass portrait that covers the front of the Lloyd Center and depicts the history of the veterinary medical school.

The artwork is based on what Mahady calls the “web of life,” and the circular motif that dominates the form stems from the idea the sun is the giver of all life through photosynthesis and the transfer of its energy.

The circle is completed by the consumption of the plant life by the animals, and their eventual return to the soil from which they came.

After months of planning, permits and painting, Ames C.art’s Campustown mural is complete.

“It feels really good. I’m just relieved that we were able to finish,” said Kristin Roach, creative director for Ames C.art [Ames Collaborative art].

Roach said “Thinking of Ames” — the colorful, 80-by-12-foot work on the wall of T-Galaxy — cost nearly $10,000 to complete, most of which was donated or received through grants.

The owner of T-Galaxy donated the wall on the condition the name of the store be featured in the mural.

Paint was donated through Diamond Vogel and a Keep Iowa Beautiful grant.

Still, Roach said there were many obstacles in completing the project.

Overall, Roach said the community response has been very positive. She said the only criticism she’s received was a comment the project looked like “Pleasantville,” but Roach said she didn’t see anything wrong with being optimistic.

“It’s so great to expose the community to public artists,” Roach said.

Ames C.art plans to create a mural per year in the future. Roach said they hope to establish an artist-in-residency program to help design future projects.

Marching band director departs

By Sarah.Binder @iowastatedaily.com The show must go on.

Director of ISU Cyclone Football “Varsity” Marching Band [ISUCF”V”MB] and associate director of bands Matthew Smith announced in June that he had decided to leave Iowa State for another position.

Smith’s decision was swift; he said he received an offer from Indiana University to be assistant director of bands just the previous week.

“It was a shocker to me. I was not expecting that at all, especially at this point in the summer,” said Cathy Cooney, senior in history and member of ISUCF”V”MB. However, Michael Golemo, chairman of the music

department, said that in the music world, being conductor of a marching band Smith is usually a stepping stone position and he wasn’t surprised by the switch.

“We know he’s destined for bigger and better things, and we wish him luck,” Golemo said.

Smith said his position at Indiana University will include similar responsibilities, but he would do more conducting and working with the concert band. He said he was attracted by the high quality and size of the program.

Smith continued to work through June at Iowa

State, recruiting and auditioning new students.

Natalie Steele, currently assistant director of bands, will take over Smith’s position for the coming year.

In addition to her work with ISUCF”V”MB, Steele had six years of experience leading a marching band at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas.

Steele said she didn’t have any major changes planned for the band, adding that it was “in great shape,” and she would maintain a lot of the traditions associated with ISUCF”V”MB. In the meantime, the music department will conduct a search for a permanent replacement.

Steele said it was uncertain whether she would apply or resume her position.

Golemo said Smith has acted as “a real advocate for the students” during his time at Iowa State.

“He lets us know he’s proud of the band and what we’ve done, which really makes us want to work hard for him,” Cooney said.

That hard work paid off in what Golemo called “a high level of musicianship and polish.”

His other accomplishments include increasing the size of the band and creating a strong relationship between the band and athletic department.

Smith said the thing he will remember most about Iowa State is the people.

“I’d like to thank all of the students, faculty and staff for a tremendous experience at Iowa State, [it] is a very special place.”

Despite the threat of torrential rain, The Workshy branded their 80/35 performance a success. They left with optimism and experience, which they hoped would help them find new opportunities.

“I felt really great after the set. Everything went really well and we pulled it off without a hitch,” said guitarist Danny Kratzer.

The band was happy with their performance, and couldn’t complain about any major technical difficulties. The guys were surprised by how comfortable they felt onstage and how easy it was to adjust to the new venue: The biggest stage at the festival.

good time, for the most part, and learned a lot from the experience; having the opportunity to reach out to a broader, more diverse fan base, as well as treat the fans that followed them there.

“We learned a little bit about how much production goes [in], because it was the first time we had to deal with stagehands. We’d dealt with sound guys and stuff, but we’d never really been a part of something like that before,” said bassist Jiho Han. Overall, 80/35 offered many smaller bands the opportunity to participate in a major venue and get the exposure they work hard for. Other featured bands with Ames roots were Omega Dog and Christopher and the

Conquered.

Music went on practically nonstop during the festival. At least one of the three stages had a performance going the entire weekend, even if the other stages were in-between sets.

The Greater Des Moines Music Coalition put forth effort to be green this summer. There were free 80/35-branded water bottles and refill stations that provided free, reusable hydration for attendees and even provided a complimentary bike valet service.

Among the other attractions were a few nonprofit organizations like Avoid the Stork — who made an appearance on the main stage — local churches and of course, merchandise

stands.

80/35 also offered other experiences for attendees, ranging from foods, do-it-yourself crafts and other booths, which included giveaways and even a Japanese acupressure specialist.

A soft and somber monologue of rolling thunder preceded the headlining performance by Modest Mouse on Sunday. As the intermittent rain sliced through the colored spotlights, the crammed bodies of the pit pushed closer and closer as the show charged through the night. Almost everyone in the crowd was standing; perhaps due to the waterlogged lawn, or perhaps as a sign of the shared experience of a summer music festival.

Students showcase artwork

By Julia.Ferrell @iowastatedaily.com Ten ISU students were unanimously successful in their sales this year during the Des Moines Arts Festival, despite a bit of bad weather.

Some came with booths of prints of photography, while others had hundreds of small pottery pieces for public consumption.

Photographer Ryan Gibson, senior in finance, displayed images from around the world.

He sold 10-15 large-scale

prints and felt he received good responses from the crowd.

“Most had nothing but good things to say, and a few were able to offer advice to further my work, which is always welcomed and appreciated,” Gibson said.

“I handed out tons of business cards, and was even approached by a few galleries that were interested in possibly displaying my work.”

Next year, Gibson hopes to include more images of Iowa and Des Moines in his display.

He believes it will gain the interest of even more customers.

Workspace ceramic instructor, Amanda Barr, sold half of the small soap dishes, dip bowls and plates in her booth in the first night.

By the end of the evening, she had “only had a handful left.”

“With the current economy being how it is, most booths had larger, more expensive work, and while [customers] wanted to purchase art and support the artists, most of the festival was at a price range higher

than they could afford,” Barr said.

“I believe I was so successful because I have a relatively low price point ... under $20.”

Despite the heat, humidity and storms, ISU students left an impression as emerging artists at the Des Moines Arts Festival 2010.

Octagon damaged by rain

By Sarah.Binder @iowastatedaily.com Storms damaged the roof July 18 of the Octagon Center for the Arts. The downtown building dates to the beginning of the century.

Phyllis Craig, membership and volunteer services director for the Octagon, said she estimated at least a couple of inches of water had seeped into the main gallery, the kitchen, elevator and one of the children’s studios.

“It was quite the disaster,” Craig said.

However, no artwork was damaged by the water, and the community gallery, which opened in June in the storefront next to the Octagon — formerly Wheatsfield Grocery — was not affected.

Some events, such as a children’s theater art camp, a brown-bag luncheon and some meetings, had to be rescheduled.

Craig said they have met with their insurance provider and some contractors, but do not yet have an estimate for the cost of the damage or the amount of time the repairs will take. She said there is a possibility the Iowa Watercolor Society exhibit, which is hosted by the Octagon each August, might be affected.

Big 12 barely stays alive

By Jordan.Wickstrom @iowastatedaily.com This summer got off to a rocky start for Iowa State, and all fellow Big 12 schools, as months of speculation and rumors about potential realignment finally came to fruition during the first half of June.

Rumors ran wild that the Big 12 was going to be disbanded, thanks in large part to the Pac 10 and Big Ten. Both conferences were rumored to be taking many of the Big 12 teams, except Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State.

Despite potentially losing eight teams, the Big 12 ultimately lost only two.

Nebraska left for the Big Ten while Colorado joined the Pac 10.

Iowa State’s Rachel Hockaday attempts to break Nebraska’s defense during the game on November 7, 2009.

This now leaves the Big 12 with 10 teams and no championship game.

So what does this mean for the Cyclones and their athletic teams?

For football, the most likely scenario will include a schedule made up of nine

Welcome Back 2010

conference games, with the conference champion being determined by standings.

Both men’s and women’s basketball will play Big 12 South teams twice during the season, instead of playing them just once; a concept one coach is particularly pleased about.

“Now [the ISU women’s basketball team] needs to be excited about the challenge of the competition that’s coming,” said ISU women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly. “Like we’ve done in the past, I think it’s great for our fans. They’re going to see good teams every year that they only saw every other year.”

Softball and volleyball will now only have nine total teams in the Big 12, with both sports losing Nebraska. In addition to Nebraska, volleyball will also be forced to drop Colorado.

However, ISU athletic director Jamie Pollard said

Sports | Iowa State Daily | 91

Play broomball.

all of the conference’s athletic directors were more than willing to accept such changes if that kept the Big 12 together.

“Part of this scenario is that we clearly won’t have a championship game, and the coaches voted 12-0 not to have a championship game several years ago; and the coaches have, every year, talked about playing nine [conference games]” Pollard said.

“I know [football coach Paul Rhoads] understands it, and he wasn’t here for those votes, but he’ll echo those same sentiments that not playing the championship game is beneficial.

Also getting to play everybody will truly determine who the conference champion is.”

Questions were also raised regarding the future of the Cy-Hawk series.

Some questioned whether the new schedules for both schools would allow the se-

Pharmacy Hours Monday-Saturday 9AM-9PM Sunday 9AM-6PM

ries could continue.

Pollard said he expects the series to continue despite the changes being made to the schedule.

“At this juncture, it’s premature to speculate on which games we wouldn’t play,” Pollard said. “Our belief is that the Iowa/Iowa State game means a lot to this state, and we would like to see that continue.

However, I can’t speak for what the Big Ten’s going to do. I haven’t followed on if they’re going to go to nine games.”

One change that could positively affect the university was revenue. University president Gregory Geoffroy said the university can expect an increase in revenue once the switch is made.

“That formula has really been what’s driven our revenue,” Geoffroy said. “What we anticipate will occur, is that over the next several years we’ll see a significant

ramp up in the size of the television contract the Big 12 has.”

This deal was said to be the one that kept the conference together, as some of the smaller schools in the Big 12, such as Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor, Missouri and Iowa State, offered to give those three schools the money Colorado and Nebraska forfeited in order to keep the conference together.

“If having our top schools go for $14 or $15 million to $20 million, and in order to do that Iowa state gets to go from $9 million to $13 million, I’m all in,” Pollard said.

“If we’re going to go up $4 million, and that means somebody else may go up $5 million, I’m taking the $4 million.”

Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten will be made official in July of 2011, while Colorado will switch to the Pac 10 in 2012.

Breaking records, winning awards and taking home first place in two events may be quite the college career for any athlete, but for runner Lisa Koll, those words describe just May and June of 2010.

Not only did Koll win the gold in the 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter at the Big 12 and NCAA Championships, she broke the record for fastest conference time by 36 seconds and won the Honda Sports Award for best track and field athlete.

After the Big 12 championships, Koll led seven other Cyclones to Eugene, Ore., for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships; successfully capping off her career at Iowa State with two

gold medals.

It was not long after the NCAA Championships she competed in the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Des Moines.

However, for the first time in what seemed like a long time, Koll did not win the race.

Instead, she finished second after Oregon distance runner Amy Begley took a late lead.

Despite not finishing first, it was still a strong end to Koll’s career as a Cyclone.

Koll finished her summer by adding another two awards to her name — the 2010 U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Association Outdoor Track Scholar of the Year and Big 12 Female Athlete of the Year.

Next, Koll will begin preparing for the 2012 Summer Olympics.

North Team’s Randy Wooster, of Eagle Grove, drops back for a pass during the Shrine Bowl at Jack Trice Stadium. File photo: Logan Gaedke/ Iowa State Daily

Independence Day, the MLB All-Star Game and this year’s World Cup are just a few of the biggest events that take place during the month of July — the month that has seemingly always included all great outdoor events.

But for Iowans, there are a few weekends in July when everybody comes together to take part in the Iowa Summer Games — not because they feel pressure to do so, but because it is a great reason to get outside and enjoy the summer weather.

“I think the Iowa Summer Games are great for the state and great for the school,” said David Dippold,

senior in hotel, restaurant and institution management.

“I stopped by, watched some archery, watched some soccer and some tennis and enjoyed it all because it’s easy for a lot of people to hang out inside, but with these games, you’re really enjoying the summer.”

For West Union native Mindy Balk, the weather was not the only reason to take part in the games.

“It’s great to get outside, watch some of the things going on and show some support for my son, Gary,” Balk said.

Balk was in Ames because her son was selected to play in the Iowa Shrine Bowl.

And while the Shrine

Pull an all-nighter for a test or project.

Bowl is a separate event from the Iowa Summer Games, Balk was quite familiar with the event because her son competed in 2009.

“He threw shot put last year, and he took second,” Balk said. “He was actually involved in football, wrestling in the winter, track and field in the spring, and, up until a couple of years ago, he was part of the swim team in the summer.”

While a lot of people flocked to the football practice, others took in other events; not necessarily as fans, but because it offered a chance to get their mind off other things.

“As a student, it’s kind of nerveracking to know you’ll be facing such a bad job market after you graduate,” said Nicholas Johnstone, senior in marketing. “So being able to just hang out outside and watch an event or two can be nice.”

After a strong showing this summer, the games continue to grow and will likely only increase over time.

“It’s wonderful because the best part is everyone can participate,” Dippold said.

“I mean, come on, where else can you find a 70-year-old man playing soccer on one field and then a 12-year-

old playing soccer on the next field over?”

The 38th Annual Shrine Bowl held its game July 24.

Despite having its run game shut down by the South’s defense, the North ended up victorious with a 24-0 shut out thanks in large part to

Team adapts to changes

By Jordan.Wickstrom @iowastatedaily.com Of all ISU athletics, no team has endured as much change over the last year as the men’s basketball team.

After another disappointing season, the Cyclones were forced to retool with a new coaching staff and set of players.

Coach Greg McDermott departed Iowa State to take the coaching job at Creighton, while 11 of the players from the 2009 team left, leaving just four players.

Former ISU standout Fred Hoiberg was quickly hired as McDermott’s successor April 27, becoming Iowa State’s 19th men’s basketball coach.

“It feels great to be home,” Hoiberg said. “Here

I am, realizing my dreams.

Fans, I want that atmosphere back, I need that atmosphere back, and it’s time to bring the magic back to Hilton Coliseum.”

All eyes will be on Hoiberg and how his first year goes, as his returning players from last season will be senior guards Diante Garrett and Scott Christopherson, senior forward Jamie Vanderbeken and redshirt freshman guard Bubu Palo.

The team did receive some help by way of transfer players. Former ISU forward Craig Brackins recruited friend and former Northern Illinois guard Jake Anderson to come play for the Cyclones.

Anderson enters Iowa State averaging double digits in scoring each of his

three years in DeKalb.

Iowa State also added forwards Royce White and Anthony Booker, and guards Chris Babb and DeMarcus Phillips by way of transfer.

White was ranked 19th overall in the 2009 recruiting class, and second among power forwards.

White chose Minnesota over Arkansas, Illinois and Southern California.

“Royce has the complete package to be an impact frontcourt player in the Big 12,” Hoiberg said. “He is a physical presence on the block, and he will also challenge defenders with his ability to shoot. I like his presence on the boards, and he comes from a winning background.”

However, after being

suspended after pleading guilty to fifth degree theft and disorderly conduct, White left the team in December.

“I have talked with a lot of people who are close to him, spoken with Royce in person multiple times and feel he is sincerely committed to meeting the expectations we have for our players. On one of his campus visits, Royce also met with institutional staff both inside and outside of the athletics department, and he left very positive impressions on everyone,” Hoiberg said.

In addition to these three transfers, the Cyclones added freshmen forwards Jordan Railey, Eric McKnight, Calvin Godfrey and Melvin Ejim.

Basketball stars to NBA, WNBA

By Jordan.Wickstrom @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State said goodbye to two of its most prolific basketball stars this past year, when men’s basketball power forward Craig Brackins and women’s basketball guard Alison Lacey were both drafted in the first rounds of their respective drafts.

In a very emotional moment, Brackins, who spent the first 20 picks anxiously waiting to hear his name be called, was drafted 21st overall by the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“To finally you know you have a home, there’s no better feeling,” Brackins said.

“There’s nothing better than this. I have no words right now, seriously. This is a great opportunity. This is

what I’ve always wanted to do.”

Despite being selected by the Thunder, Brackins has since found himself being sent to the Hornets in a

live music, performing arts and community events

draft-night trade for fellow first round draft pick and former Kansas stand-out Cole Aldrich, and nine-year NBA veteran Morris Peterson.

For Lacey, her draft day experience was much different.

Just one week after ending her career as the only ISU women’s basketball player to tally more than

Former Cyclone drafted to Bengals during 7th round

By Jordan.Wickstrom @iowastatedaily.com

Check out our line up of summer and fall shows at

1,500 points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists in her career, former ISU guard Alison Lacey was selected 10th overall in the WNBA Draft by the Seattle Storm.

Lacey’s 10th overall selection was notable for being the highest ISU player to ever be drafted by a professional sports team.

“I’m excited,” Lacey said in a news release.

“I’m nervous and anxious to get to training camp to see what it’s like. I’m relieved to know where I’m going. It’s been a long day, and I have a lot to figure out now.”

Since being selected, Lacey has not seen much playing time, averaging just 4.4 minutes per game in 13 games played, while scoring just .3 points per game.

Lacey’s lack of playing time this season is thanks in large part to Seattle’s allstar guard Sue Bird. Bird has consistently been one the WNBA’s marquee players since being drafted in 2002.

Despite the Cyclone football team winning its first bowl game since 2004 Stephens and having its most successful season in four seasons, the only football player to be drafted by an NFL team was center Reggie Ste-

phens.

Stephens was selected in the seventh round, 228th overall, by the Cincinnati Bengals and was still with the team as it opened training camp July 28.

After a year of having no draft picks, Stephens is the first Cyclone drafted into the NFL since former linebacker Alvin Bowen was picked 147th overall by the Buffalo Bills and defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin was selected 190th overall by the Cleveland Browns.
