Spiritz to replace former Santa Fe n Drink specials,
music, TV planned to draw customers
By CatherineThomas Daily Staff Writer
NOW
HIRING!
A new bar, Spiritz, is set to open in Ames on Aug. 13. Located at 2518 Lincoln Way, the former home of Santa Fe, Spiritz will be open all week from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. Spiritz hopes to be a full-service bar geared toward serving customers of all ages. The owners, George Papouchis and Augustine Mendez, hope to capitalize on students’ spirit. “It going to be a college-like bar,” Papouchis said. “There will be live music and dancing and an atmosphere conducive to singles and couples alike.” Sports, including ISU games, will be broadcast on several screens. Employees will be expected to wear ISU colors during ISU sporting events. Music of various genres will be played. A variety of drink specials will cater to tight student budgets. “Our commitment to customers is going to be good service, and we will commit ourselves to helping people have a good time all night.” Mendez said. “It’s [service] is our main purpose.” In addition to the usual fare — pool table, regular beer specials and a juke box — the bar will

own CDs. An open mic is planned for would-be comedians, aspiring musicians and singers. Papouchis and Mendez plan
to expand their operation in the coming months with an adjoining restaurant. The restaurant, which shares its name with the
bar, will feature expanded hours, 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., and a sidewalk cafe for shoppers in the business district.

THE GREENER CHOICE
Those wanting to live with more than two unrelated roommates in Ames still cannot do so, after the Iowa Supreme Court upheld the section of the Ames Municipal Code that restricts the number of unrelated individuals living in one residence. Mayor Ann Campbell said the ordinance was passed before she was on the Ames City Council. She said she thought it had been on the books for a long time, but it recently just began being more aggressively enforced. “It’s definitely not a new ordinance,” she said. Brian Phillips, Government of the Student Body president and senior in political science, said he wasn’t aware that the ordinance was being appealed, but the ruling was unfair.
“I’m … offended on some levels by the apparent humor in which the majority justices wrote their opinions,” he said. Phillips said this is a serious issue that affects a lot of students. Campbell said in the last two or three years, this law started being enforced more aggressively after the “mix of residential neighborhoods have become more of a challenge.” She said some residents had asked the city to enforce the law. She also said it was very difficult to prove who is actually living at certain residence to enforce the ordinance. Campbell said although she is not a voting member of the City Council, she lives in an “affected neighborhood” and has seen demographic changes that have impacted neighborhoods. Campbell said some neighbors told her about a party where there was drinking until early the next morning. “That’s a difficult blend when you have young children who’ve been in bed since 8 o’clock,” she

A new proposal being considered by the city of Ames would allow crematories to exist in commercial zones. Discussion on the topic was sparked by a funeral home moving into 2320 Lincoln Way, formerly Godfather’s Pizza. Although the funeral home was never planning to house a crematory, Steve Osguthorpe, director of Ames Planning and Housing, said it was still a good chance to review city policy. Osguthorpe said crematories were not allowed in commercial zones, but were allowed in residential ones. “I think it was probably an oversight at the time,” Osguthor-
pe said. He said for a crematory to be built in a commercial zone, the owners would have to get a special use permit, which would then be reviewed by the city for any potential impacts on surrounding businesses. Dennis Soderstrum, president of Soderstrum and Adams Funeral Homes, said crematories pose no health threats to area businesses. Soderstrum said bodies are checked for radioactivity, pacemakers and other potential hazards before they are cremated. If the owner properly maintains the crematorium and follows the regulations set by the Environmental Protection Agency, no impact would be felt, Soderstrum said. “There was a crematory on South Duff, and I don’t think anyone knew it was there,” Soderstrum said, referring to Pet Medical Center of Ames’ Rainbow Bridge Crematorium, 1415 S. Duff Ave.

Interstate 35W collapses outside Minneapolis Mississippi River threatens stranded drivers
n
By Pat Condon
Associated Press Writer MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The entire span of an interstate bridge over the Mississippi River collapsed during evening rush hour Wednesday, sending vehicles, tons of concrete and twisted metal crashing into the water. The Interstate 35W bridge, which spans between Minneapolis and St. Paul, was under construction when it broke into several huge sections. It was not clear how many people were injured. A burning truck and a school bus clung to one slanted slab, and at least eight cars and a truck were submerged in the river.

said. Although Phillips said it was not an issue that he could remember coming up in GSB very often, he thought it was a big issue for students. In fact, Phillips has been affected by it personally. “The house I used to live in was a five-bedroom house, but because of the city ordinance, we weren’t allowed to have five people in that house,” he said. He said the rent for him and his roommates was higher than it could have been and there was a lot of space that was not utilized because of the law. Phillips said the ordinance is based on a negative stereotype about college students and “isolated incidents.” “For every group of students who live in a house who want to party and make noise, there are 10 times as many students who just want to live there and go to class and be on their own,” he said. The Iowa Supreme Court upheld the part of the Ames Municipal Code that restricts that no more than three unrelated people can live in one house in
The bus had just crossed the bridge before it crumpled into pieces, and broadcast reports indicated the children on the bus exited out the back door. Dozens of vehicles were scattered and stacked on top of each other amid the rubble. Some people were stranded on parts of the bridge that aren’t completely in the water. Local television stations captured video of injured people being carried up the riverbank. There was no official word on injuries, but dozens of rescue vehicles were there. Divers were also in the water. Gregory Wernick Sr., Rockford, Ill., drove over the bridge shortly before the collapse. He stopped to get a drink nearby and heard commotion so he went back. “I figure I crossed about 10 minutes before it happened,” he said. “That’s just too close to

call.” He was standing about 200 feet away on top of a parking ramp with large group of people. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” he said. The Homeland Security Department had received no indications Wednesday night that the collapse was an act of terrorism, department spokesman Russ Knocke said in Washington. “We continue to monitor the situation. At this time, there’s no indication of a nexus to terrorism,” Knocke said.

He says it is the transition into real life, as if I have not been living it already. I do not like change, though. Mr. Thomas told me that this job at the museum will be perfect. He knows I like bones and that whenever I feel overwhelmed I can always think about the bones and I?m calm. I love bones. I love the way they move, how they erode, and how they regenerate. I like to study fossils, and baby teeth, cow skulls, and x-rays. Before I had discovered the idea of bones, I did not understand the structure of the human body, and did not understand that without them we would be piles of mush; just matted clumps of vessels and tissues without any sort of order. Bones bring order. My manager is fat and sweaty. I met him twice before when my teacher Mr. Thomas brought me to the museum. They wanted to be sure that I was competent for the job and each time I met the Manager he had round sweat stains under his armpits and smelled like sawdust. Every time I leave I can?t remember his face, and today when I walk into the building I look for the armpit rings “Well, Carl,” The Manager sighs. “I think we?ve got the perfect job for you.” He waits for me to say something. I nod instead. “You any good at vacuuming?” The manager asks. I nod again. The manager sighs. “Well, I?m going to get Mark to show you around.” “Don?t worry man.” Mark tells the Manager when he arrives. “I?ve worked with a lot of those kinds before... You know... Retards.” I want to tell Mark that I am not retarded, but that Billy from my class was. He sat around eating bits of paper, and had to wear a diaper. Mark makes me nervous. Almost everyone makes me nervous when they talk to me. Mark is a young Hispanic man that walks very fast and chomps on peppermint scented gum. He takes me through every room of the museum, and finally to the room that I will vacuum. I flap my hands in front of my eyes. My fingers blur like fan blades, calming me. I usually flap when I?m nervous, and my mother knows this. She sits in the driver?s seat, her knuckles clutched around the steering wheel, and stares out the front window. “Stop it.” She grabs my hands. “You need to have quiet hands, Carl.” She sighs and unbuckles her seatbelt. “I don?t know why you insisted on wearing your good pants.” My mother reaches across the car and rubs her palm against my knee, pushing out a wrinkle. “They will only get dirty.” She then straightens my tie, which already sits on the center of my throat. I am not incompetent, I think, but I could never articulate this. Not even if I tried. Instead I say, “Carl likes them, Mr. Thomas says that Carl should look professional.” “It?s ?I?. I should look professional.” My mother corrects me. She looked over at the clock. “Hurry, it?s time.” I get out of the car and walk towards my first real job, something my special education teacher, Mr. Thomas, has been building me towards. He says it is the transition into real life, as if I have not been living it already. I do not like change, though. Mr. Thomas told me that this job at the museum will be perfect. He knows I like bones and that whenever I feel overwhelmed I can always think about the bones and I?m calm. I love bones. I love the way they move, how they erode, and how they regenerate. I like to study fossils, and baby teeth, cow skulls, and x-rays. Before I had discovered the idea of bones, I did not understand the structure of the human body, and did not understand that without them we would be piles of mush; just matted clumps of vessels and tissues without any sort of order. Bones bring order. My manager is fat and sweaty. I met him twice before when my teacher Mr. Thomas brought me to the museum. They wanted to be sure that I was competent for the job and I flap my hands in front of my eyes. My fingers blur like fan blades, calming me. I usually flap when I?m nervous, and my mother knows this. She sits in the driver?s seat, her knuckles clutched around the steering wheel, and stares out the front window. “Stop it.” She grabs my hands. “You need to have quiet hands, Carl.” She sighs and unbuckles her seatbelt. “I don?t know why you insisted on wearing your good pants.” My mother reaches across the car and rubs her palm against my knee, pushing out a wrinkle. “They will only get dirty.” She then straightens my tie, which already sits on the center of my throat.

Select New Belgium Brews Now Served up in Iowa
Iowa beer lovers are counting the days until September 10 when 22ounce bombers of New Belgium Brewing’s Fat Tire Amber Ale, 1554 Black Ale and Mothership Wit will become available at select bars and liquor stores in the Waterloo, Cedar Falls area. Through an extensive selection process, New Belgium Brewing has selected United Beverage,
Inc. of Waterloo as the exclusive distributor of New Belgium brands in the Cedar Valley area. New Belgium Brewing is also nationally recognized for its progressive environmental activities. Consumers can enjoy their favorite New Belgium beer even more knowing it was produced where choices like reduced greenhouse emissions, green building techniques and water con-
servation are a cultural way of life.
Fat Tire Amber Ale
Like the ageless delight of pedaling a bicycle, Fat Tire Amber Ale’s appeal is in its feat of balance: Toasty malt flavors (sorta like biscuits just pulled from the oven) coasting in equilibrium with crisp hoppiness. Delicious stability – in the world of sometimes-precarious beer flavors – is perhaps what prompted one consumer to say, “This beer just makes you smile.” Fat Tire’s depth of flavor, achieved with neither a disproportionate sway toward hops or malts, tandems well with a full spectrum of
today’s engaging cuisines. Salmon, dry-aged cheeses, roasted chilies, omelets at midnight, sweet potato French fries and just about anything with grill marks or garlic are just a few of the edibles we like to partner up with our Amber Ale.
five-hundred years ago without ignoring fivehundred years of technological innovation.
1554 Black Ale
New Belgium’s first organic beer offering, Mothership Wit elevates the zesty Wit or White beers of Belgium with wheat malt, coriander and orange peel spicing – all of which are organically grown. The Mothership experience begins with a cloudy pale yellow appearance capped by a creamy white head. Next is the alluring, slightly spicy, floral nose. The refreshing taste is the result of a gravitational balance of citrus and sour flavors held in suspension by a bright burst of carbonation.
Other that being dark in color, 1554 has little in common with Porters or Stouts. The beer is fermented at relatively high temperatures using a European lager yeast that imparts a refreshing, zesty acidity. Chocolate and coffee tones in the nose give way to a surprisingly clean finish. With 1554 we hoped to create a beer similar to what folks enjoyed nearly

Dickinson Law School sees rise in minority numbers By Johnna Scrabis COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER | jls5316@psu.edu
Minority enrollment at Penn State Dickinson School of Law is up nearly 272 percent since 2002, according to a report published by National Jurist magazine. This puts Dickinson at the top of a list of nearly 200 law schools in terms of its percentage growth and improvement in the last five years. Today, about 22 percent of Dickinson’s overall student body is composed of minority students, up from 8 percent in 2000. Assistant Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Janice Austin said with the increase, Dickinson is finally catching up to the national average. “We were way behind the curve of other law schools,” she said. Austin said there were very few law schools as lacking in minority enrollment as Penn State was just a few years ago. Dickinson School of Law spokeswoman Kelly Jones said the tripling of the number of minority students is related to the improving academic credentials. She said the school has become much more selective when choosing from its applicant pool. Most notably, LSAT scores of incoming students have seen a large increase. In 2002, 75 percent of the entering class scored below a 157 on the LSAT. In 2006, 75 percent scored above a 157.
ALL
“We have done a complete 360 in terms of the quality of the students that we are bringing in,” Austin said. Austin said she is excited about what she believes is a better and stronger generation of law students. She said she attributes the increases to more extensive marketing and outreach programs. Jones added that minority enrollment has been a priority within the administration. “Ultimately, we’ve been able to attract minority students in greater numbers because, like all students, they are attracted to the kinds of programs that we offer, our instructors, and our new facilities,” Jones said. Along with more diversity within the student body, Dickinson has also enjoyed an improvement in the diversity of their staff. Penn State spokeswoman Annemarie Mountz said Penn State has become an extremely popular destination for higher education, not just for undergraduates but for graduate students as well. She said applications will most likely continue to increase. “I know that we are attracting a lot of really, really good students,” Mountz said. “Especially since the announcement of the dual campus for Dickinson students to study down in Carlisle and University Park.” Austin said she hopes to continue the upward trend for a diverse institution. “It will be our challenge to continue to have classes that reflect society,” she said.

Blood donors will get the 2007 Vans Warped Tour CD as a bonus
As part of the national Music Saves Lives Blood Drive campaign, the Penn State Red Cross Club will be holding a series of blood drives — and giving out free CDs. The campaign is “geared toward fans that wouldn’t normally donate blood,” said Wendi Keeler, American Red Cross field representative for Penn State and Red Cross Club adviser. She added that the group aims to collect about 1,000 units of blood before the semester ends, a goal that
If you go
Wendi Keeler American Red Cross field representative for Penn State and Red Cross Club adviser she said is “definitely doable.” Music Saves Lives, a national organization that aspires “to help save lives by creating simple opportunities for people to give and get back something special related to music, musical artists and general entertainment,” according to a press release, is also donating compilation CDs. All blood donors will receive the CD, Red Cross intern Sharon Mastrobuoni (junior-elementary education and public relations) said. The free CD features bands that will be performing at the 2007 Vans Warped Tour, such as Head Automatica, New Found Glory, Sugarcult, Jack’s Mannequin and Relient K.
There are two rounds of blood donation. The first series started in March and will last until May. The second phase of the Music Saves Lives blood drives will begin in June and last through August. For those drives, donors will have the opportunity to receive a backstage pass to one of the 2007 Vans Warped Tour dates, Mastrobuoni said. Keeler said the Red Cross collects considerably less blood after students leave. “Region-wide, 11 percent of blood collected is from local schools, both colleges and high schools,” she said. She added that, overall, Penn State students don’t donate at home in the

To be eligible to give blood, donors must be over the age of 17, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in generally good health. For a complete list of donation sites or to make an appointment, visit psuredcross.org.

If waiting for Cupid to shoot his arrow through the perfect Valentine’s gift is too tedious, wait no longer. These romantic gift ideas are perfect for that special someone on Valentine’s Day.
Opinion FOR HER
Justin Tennison / NT Daily
Candice Oates, Colleyville freshman
By Andrew Rogers Intern
What are you doing for Valentine’s Day? “Actually, I’m going out w it h my best f riend who is a lso my roommate for dinner because we don’t have dates. It’s actually kind of sad. The guy who likes me is planning something but I don’t like him that much. I’d rather go out with her.” What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever received on Valentine’s Day? “I got a basket of f r uit once, but that was because his mom got this big fruit basket and gave it to him first. He was like ‘Here you go. You got some fruit.’ It was kind of awkward getting a fruit basket for Valentine’s Day. A hand-me-down, at that.” Have you been in a longterm relationship? “For two years, yeah.” Do you believe relationships in college can last? “I t h i n k t he y c a n . It depends on who the people are, and if they are sticking to t hei r mora ls a nd not cheating on people.” Do you consider yourself a romantic person? “Yes, I guess. I like the idea of romanticism. But I’m kind of losing faith in the guys in college. Most guys are only here to pick up girls and take them home. They want to go to a bar, pick up a girl and take them home without calling her the next day.” D o e s t h a t k e e p y ou closed-minded from dating
He calls it his thinking cap.
all the angles
guys? “No, I’m s t i l l o p e nminded that I can find that one guy.” Do you think Valentine’s Day is just a corporatedriven holiday or a n authentic day to celebrate love? “I think it’s a way to drive sales, but at the same time I also think Valentine’s should be more meaningful. I was talking with my friend who has been in a relationship for three years, and instead of getting her a big expensive gift every Valentine’s, they’re adding on to the gift they’ve been giv ing since their first date, throughout their second date. That’s a more meaningful Valentine that people want to have. Not the corporate message that says ‘Give her that expensive diamond ring on Valentine’s Day and she’ll love you.’ I don’t like that.” Does spiritua lity have any place in love and relationships? “Everyone has a soul mate out there. It just depends on whet her or not you’re willing or not to accept your soul mate. Some people will f ind t heir soul mate, but since t hey’re tempted by other things or hanging out with the wrong people that they can lose their soul mate easily.” Do you believe in love at first sight? “No, I believe in infatuation at first sight. It’s hard to love someone when you don’t know their name or anything about them. You can be infatuated by the way they look.”
Start with the basics: flowers and candy. So sorry guys, but one or the other is an absolute must. However, make this year’s bouquet a little more creative by mixing up different colored roses. Most grocery stores often sell these multi-colored combinations and add a big heartshaped balloon for a touch of romantic f lare. Try personalizing your chocolate gifts by making rows of chocolate covered strawberries, and use white chocolate to design your ow n mushy message. Or use persona lized red, white and pink M&Ms online at MyMMs.com. Prices start at $48 for four seven-ounce bags.
Get your girl dolled up and indulge her need for a little culture. The Campus Theatre, located at 214 W. Hickory St., is showing “Crowns” in celebration of Black History Month Feb. 16 and 17 at 7:30 p.m. and Feb. 18 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $17 for adults and $11 for students to purchase at the door or call the box office at 940-382-1915. W h i le you’re dow ntow n, walk over to Beth Marie’s Old Fa sh ioned Ice Crea m a nd treat yourselves to a lovers’ sundae. Exotic Candles World Market, located at 1400 S. Loop 288, has a wide array of candles in exotic scents such as “asian poppy” or “thai mango” for about $4 each. Kill two birds with one stone by purchasing the “kissable candle” that smells great and also melts into massage oil for $18.95 at My Spicy Treasures, 1010 Dallas Drive.
Romantic Dinner Diamonds You ca n’t go w rong w it h these. Get her something she can wear with anything, such as a circle diamond-pendant or diamond solitaire-earrings. Both start at about $99 at Zales and Kay Jewelers in the Golden
Engraved iPod Yes, girls enjoy gadgets too. We’re just not super nerdy about it. Apple is selling a special edition Red iPod Nano for $199 or $249. The smallest holds up to 1,000 songs and $10 of the purchase will go to the Global Fund for fighting AIDS in Africa. Top it of f w it h a specia l engraving (it’s free at Store. Apple.com) and download your favorite songs as a couple. The tiny new iPod shuf f le, $79, which comes in five colors, holds 240 songs and can also be engraved online. FOR HIM
a m o r e sophisticated smell, Burlington Coat Factor y, located at 2322 San Jacinto Blvd., has designer fragrances that cost two for $10. Push Play If your guy isn’t familiar with the “Jack Bauer Power Hour,” then it’s time he was introduced to the fictional super agent on Fox’s action-packed drama “24.” Chances are, he’s already a fan, but that won’t stop him from enjoying the first season again. Also, if he’s not addicted a l r e ad y, get h i m ho oke d on A BC’s “Lost,” t he show critics say is a cross between “Su r v ivor” a nd “Gi l l iga n’s Island.” You can find the box sets at loca l retailers or used at Amazon.com for around $30.

when we arrived in the height of the Sunday brunch rush, we didn’t have to wait long for a table. As fast as the wait was, nothing could compare to speed with which the waitress took our order. She came by twice before we even had a chance to find the breakfast page on Little Pete’s extensive menu. Our waitress was not the only attentive server that morning. A wonderful man with a coffee pot came by every few minutes and ensured my coffee cup was always full.
The constant flow of hot caffeine made up for the fact that the waitress seemed to take my request for skim milk as a personal attack and curtly informed me that Little Pete’s doesn’t serve skim milk. After this somewhat violent reaction, I decided not to mention my preference for Splenda and drank my coffee with sugar and half and half. To go with my coffee, I ordered a cheese omelet ($5.70), which came with homefries and toast. The omelet was cheesy and delicious and the homefries were hot
and crispy. I had so much food on my plate that I was too full to touch the toast. My breakfast date had scrambled eggs ($3.75), which also came with homefries and toast. The eggs were not too loose and not too well done. In other words, they were perfect. While Philly Diner is obviously super convenient, Little Pete’s is only a 20-minute walk from campus and the good food, reasonable prices and fast service make it well worth the extra distance.
Fine Thai food lurks on Chesnut its local Thai cuisine peers isn’t a dig; considering the quality of Thai cuisine around Saying that Thai Singha campus, it’s a good find like House is at the same level as any of the others. The establishment gets high marks for service — fast, personable, and easy on large groups and small couples alike. It may have a slight tendency to get crowded, but at least the crowd is diverse and the atmosphere never seems to get too suffocating. But Thai Singha House's claim to fame is the staple of Thai food, its pad thai and noodle-based dishes. The version that I ordered was short on the vegetables but long on the taste — a fine recipe for carb-happy college students. I've also gotten positive feedback on their shrimp and seafood-bashed dishes, which are so volumnious they have their own pricier section on the menu. The chef's special's are more eclectic and range from a series of curry dishes to a wild boar chop, and another specialty section features a roasted whole game hen and duckling glazed with honey curry sauce. As far as the best time to go, catching the early-bird offers at lunch and dinner is definitely worth the extra effort, especially the brunch spreads — they’re a hangover special, even though the spicy ones might be a bit hard on the stomach.

THAI SINGHA HOUSE Food category
$$
3939 Chestnut St. (215) 382.8001 A bustling Thai establishment with a flair for the dramatic
The 11 a.m.-3 p.m. specialties all provide drink, soup and entree for a lunch-like price, under 10 dollars if you’re smart about things and don't go too overboard with appetizers (It can be a difficult feat.). For the 21-and-over crowd there’s wonderful homebrewed beer, described by sources older than yours truly as hoppy and with a kick. I'll take their word for it. For those who want still further accessories to a nice meal, try the handful of ice cream dessert dishes. There's something to be said for those items that aren't fit for consumption, too. Soothing music — authentic Thai, say those in the know — and Middle-eastern decor add to the establishment's visceral appeal. Thai Singha House is no great find; it’s another Philly thai restaurant that deserves going to. Given the quality of its peers, that’s a fine compliment. And no disrespect to Pattaya, which it is often compared to, but it might even be a bit better.
